[00:05] <neopsyche> legend2440: lol.. win-doze
[00:05] <neopsyche> ;-)
[00:06] <neopsyche> legend2440: am looking for video overlay out
[00:06] <FAJALOU> can anyone help me with GTK 2.x.  I am working on customizing a theme, but have run into some big roadblocks!
[00:06] <legend2440> neopsyche: is that different than svideo tvout?
[00:06] <atomkmngz> Hi there.  I'm trying to setup 8.04 server up as a firewall box.  to do so I need to apply a few patches to a generic kernel.  What's the best document to do this?  Should I bother with Git?
[00:06] <neopsyche> legend2440: so basically.. screen blank until video signal out detected.. video plays on main monitor in small box in VLC .. and pure video signal goes out to s-video
[00:06] <kitche> !repeat | FAJALOU
[00:07] <legend2440> neopsyche: oh ok
[00:07] <neopsyche> legend2440: so.. not ddual view .. not clone .. not double desktop .. but pure .. video signal of video playing out .. to full screen.
[00:07] <neopsyche> legend2440: anyone?
[00:07] <neopsyche> anyone? know how to get video overlay?
[00:08] <histo> What do you mean by video overlay?
[00:08] <majnoon> still having trouble with my networking :(
[00:08] <neopsyche> histo: see above
[00:08] <overlordpuppy> I think he means resolution across different monitors used as a shared display, instead of separate?
[00:08] <overlordpuppy> Is that about right?
[00:09] <Drk_Guy> Hi
[00:09] <histo> neopsyche: have you tried the nvidia setttings thing?
[00:09] <neopsyche> overlordpuppy: not exactly.. it will be a pure video signal that will get converted again at point of entry to the next system.. but .. it is just video.. not a desktop image.. so .. if i click stop .. on VLC .. the stream stops going out of s-video .. for example ;-)
[00:09] <Drk_Guy> !envyng
[00:09] <neopsyche> histo: had a look
[00:10] <histo> neopsyche: sudo nvidia-settings
[00:10] <porkchop> hey all.  i need some opinions.....
[00:10] <Drk_Guy> !envyng | neopsyche -- This worked for me
[00:11] <neopsyche> ubottu: hmm.. need stable for client
[00:11] <neopsyche> need stable for client
[00:11] <neopsyche> ok
[00:11] <porkchop> ubuntu 8.04 cd came with an option to install inside windows without the need to partition your hard drive.  would it be better to install ubuntu that way, or to partition my hard drive and install ubuntu that way
[00:11] <neopsyche> lol
[00:11] <FloodBot1> neopsyche: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[00:11] <Drk_Guy> neopsyche, I sent that to ya
[00:11] <neopsyche> cool
[00:11] <Drk_Guy> neopsyche, Describe me your situation
[00:11] <overlordpuppy> Ok. I got a problem with my gnome-sound-recorder. It only records static, but if I have volume for the mic on, it sounds fine going through the speakers. What should I do?
[00:11] <Odd-rationale> porkchop: if you're in it for the long term, then partition your drive.
[00:11] <neopsyche> Drk_Guy: do you remember the old gforce 5200 cards?
[00:12] <Drk_Guy> neopsyche, I had a GeForce FX 5200, it worked like a charm with nvidia driver
[00:12] <Drk_Guy> neopsyche, no hassles
[00:12] <Kronos> kitche sorry, its ep1centre from a min ago, i was using pidgin and it doesnt highlight when people chat to you i couldnt make sence of what was going on
[00:12] <neopsyche> Drk_Guy: they came with some nice option (especially for laptops too) to output a video overlay.. you could adjust the size of the screen output on tv.. and it would automatically resize a widescreen video to fit with black borders on 4:3
[00:12] <Odd-rationale> porkchop: if you just want to try it out for some. or you are not too sure whether you really want to use Ubuntu, then youcould use Wubi.
[00:12] <Drk_Guy> neopsyche, Xinerama
[00:13] <Drk_Guy> !xinerama | neopsyche
[00:13] <neopsyche> Drk_Guy: also.. it allowed for video overlay.. which means .. tv blank until press play on mediaplayer (VLC in this case)
[00:13] <neopsyche> Drk_Guy: the guys want to fly me out..
[00:13] <Drk_Guy> neopsyche, Maybe xinerama can help
[00:13] <neopsyche> Drk_Guy: i have a short while and otherwise must format and go back to windows
[00:13] <Drk_Guy> neopsyche, don't give up
[00:13] <porkchop> whats wubi?
[00:13] <neopsyche> Drk_Guy: fly out to tv station to put in box for VLC as playlist / schedule for tv for each day
[00:13] <Wolfman2000> Evening.  Would you guys know how I can enable my terminal to accept unicode characters such as the smiley face? ☺
[00:14] <Kronos> kitche i was saying that the set up i have is basicly 2 NAS servers attached to a router they work fine and are accessible via windows PC and ubuntu machine
[00:14] <Drk_Guy> neopsyche, there must be a solution
[00:14] <Drk_Guy> !wubi | porkchop
[00:14] <neopsyche> Drk_Guy: yeah.. but a stable one ;-)
[00:14] <Odd-rationale> porkchop: the windows install for ubuntu, where you don't have to partition your drive...
[00:14] <neopsyche> Drk_Guy: windoze is not very stable .. thats why im trying this
[00:14] <histo> Wolfman2000: don't think that woulod be a good idea.
[00:14] <Odd-rationale> !wubi | porkchop
[00:14] <Kronos> kitche but i cant copy anything from them using my ubuntu machine
[00:14] <Wolfman2000> histo: why not?
[00:14] <majnoon> LOOKS like it fixed
[00:14] <neopsyche> i have about 2 hours to spend on this.
[00:14] <Drk_Guy> neopsyche, as far as i know, xinerama is just a solution to duplicate X servers, which, is safe
[00:15] <kitche> Kronos: what kind of NAS?
[00:15] <Drk_Guy> neopsyche, Did you go to the link ubottu gave you?
[00:16] <neopsyche> yeah
[00:16] <Kronos> kitche HDDs runing SAMBA i belive... one's a WDigi and the other one its just a random enclosure with an HDD in it
[00:16] <Drk_Guy> neopsyche, try typing drk and hitting tab | this may help: http://www.paralipsis.org/2006/01/enabling-xinerama-in-ubuntu/
[00:16] <neopsyche> As an early version, its results may vary
[00:16] <Ben43> anyone got the bluetooth-analyzer to work
[00:17] <Ben43> i just get "Can't live import from localhost"
[00:17] <kitche> Kronos: sounds like the permissions on the samba are not setup correctly actually
[00:17] <neopsyche> Drk_Guy: checking
[00:18] <Blaqlight> Ben43: nope.
[00:18] <Ben43> you tried?
[00:18] <Kronos> kitche: i thought that but i checked the WD and the folder i'm trying to copy from is set as public... no passwords or usernames required
[00:18] <Blaqlight> Ben43: just now.
[00:18] <neopsyche> Drk_Guy: would be really cool to have tv station "powered by ubuntu" lol ;-)
[00:18] <neopsyche> :-)
[00:18] <Ben43> Blaqlight: any ideas?
[00:18] <Ben43> i searched google, 1 result
[00:18] <Ben43> which had nothing to do with it
[00:18] <Drk_Guy> neopsyche, actually, it's possible, there are programs to produce tv in the repos ;)
[00:19] <neopsyche> Drk_Guy: produce?
[00:19] <neopsyche> Drk_Guy: you mean edit right?
[00:19] <Drk_Guy> neopsyche, lol, sorry, my english ain't perfect, i'm colombian
[00:19] <Blaqlight> Ben43: I haven't even figured out what it does,
[00:19] <overlordpuppy> Anybody got any ideas for my mic troubles?
[00:19] <Kronos> kitche: i apologize for having a winge but i'm not much of a windows fan but i really have been trying hard not to just install windows back its frustrating when everything keeps going wrong and i have no idea how to fix it...
[00:20] <neopsyche> Drk_Guy: no, thats ok.. i was just trying to understand
[00:20] <Ben43> Blaqlight: neither have i, looks good though
[00:20] <Drk_Guy> neopsyche, laptop or desktop?
[00:20] <Blaqlight> Ben43: all I get is an error 'failure to import' thats it.
[00:20] <neopsyche> Drk_Guy: desk
[00:20] <porkchop> ok, so i did have ubuntu installed inside windows, but i was having trouble connecting to my wireless.  i used 'sudo lshw' and saw that under network it said disabled.  how do i enable the wireless?
[00:21] <Drk_Guy> neopsyche, I may have what you need
[00:21] <kitche> Kronos: myself I let people use what they like really but myself I never really use samba for a NAS setup
[00:21] <Ben43> well i can go fullscreen
[00:21] <Blaqlight> porkchop: is there a radio killswitch and if so is it on?
[00:21] <Drk_Guy> Still, neopsyche, what you want to do is to output vids and stuff to external screens?
[00:21] <atomkmngz> What's new current version of the linux kernel?  2.6.24?
[00:21] <neopsyche> Drk_Guy: xinerama is not exactly what need.. doesnt mention video overlay.. any other ideas?
[00:21] <porkchop> no, the wireless is enabled
[00:21] <neopsyche> Drk_Guy: yes
[00:22] <neopsyche> Drk_Guy: one .. video-out
[00:22] <Drk_Guy> neopsyche, cloning your screen onto another screen, right?
[00:22] <neopsyche> Drk_Guy: not to screen.. but to satellite box. to upstream to satellite after conversion.. then down to viewers ;-)
[00:22] <Drk_Guy> neopsyche, If you have correct HW...
[00:22] <Drk_Guy> lol
[00:22] <kitche> atomkmngz: go to kernel.org and find out
[00:22] <neopsyche> Drk_Guy: indeed we do
[00:22] <porkchop> the radio is on, i should say
[00:22] <Kronos> kitche: unfortunatly i dont know any different and i didnt exactly chose it... its what comes installed on the NAS as standard provided i'm making the right assumption in beliving that SAMBA is the bit of software that runs the NAS?
[00:23] <Drk_Guy> neopsyche, Ok, so we're on track, this might be easy as pie
[00:23] <neopsyche> Drk_Guy: ok
[00:23] <neopsyche> Drk_Guy: basically..
[00:23] <Blaqlight> porkchop: on lspci -v does your wireless card show up?
[00:23] <neopsyche> Drk_Guy: just need to configure something output
[00:23] <jerrymay> hello guys
[00:23] <FAJALOU> can anyone help me with GTK 2.x.  I am working on customizing a theme, but have run into some big roadblocks any help?
[00:23] <neopsyche> Drk_Guy: video overlay
[00:23] <neopsyche> Drk_Guy: what did you have in mind?
[00:24] <jerrymay> can anyone help me with a problem?
[00:24] <Drk_Guy> neopsyche, Ain't it so fatal to let viewers see your desktop a lil bit?
[00:24] <neopsyche> Drk_Guy: yes.. fatal.. unprofessional
[00:24] <FAJALOU> !ask | jerrymay
[00:24] <Drk_Guy> neopsyche, lol
[00:24] <MatBoy> does someone know if itś possible to avoid that when you disconnect a TS-session that the TS client wants to login back in 30 sec ?, so annoying and no settings to find about
[00:24] <atomkmngz> Kitche,  I don't need to pull it from apt-get or anyting I can just grab it hte old fashioned way?
[00:25] <overlordpuppy> !recording sound
[00:25] <overlordpuppy> . . .
[00:25] <Ahadiel> neopsyche, You may get away with running a seperate X session (outputted to s-video), then starting a video play in fullscreen mode.
[00:25] <squarebracket> !sound
[00:25] <Kronos> kitche: any ideas then? i'm going on holiday after tomorrow and i really need to copy some of my stuff over to take...
[00:25] <kitche> atomkmngz: if you know how to compile a kernel yes since ubuntu is a bit more of a stable when it comes to kernels and such
[00:25] <neopsyche> Ahadiel: no.. no.
[00:26] <neopsyche> Ahadiel:  i think i need to go back to the windows
[00:26] <Ben43> Blaqlight: you do have bluetooth on your pc/laptop?
[00:26] <neopsyche> Ahadiel: its just too complicated this way
[00:26] <kitche> Kronos: by chance are you just trying to click and drag files over you could try cp the file over instead
[00:26] <neopsyche> Thanks for all the help everyone. :-)
[00:26] <Blaqlight> Ben43: yes through a dongle...
[00:26] <beefcake> hey guys my sound isnt working in hardy, anyone got some pointers for me? 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 03)
[00:26] <Drk_Guy> neopsyche, I've got something, in VLC, you can set-up the screen video goes out to
[00:26] <CaptainTrash> I  am new to gnome,,How can I check sys info?
[00:26] <Ben43> lol just checking
[00:26] <kitche> Kronos: cp is a terminal command to copy
[00:26] <neopsyche> Drk_Guy: oh.. how!?
[00:26] <ajax4> Hey guys...whats the name of that utility I'm supposed to run if I need to re-setup xorg?
[00:26] <overlordpuppy> ﻿squarebracket: Sound is fine. I can even pick up the sound the mic should be recording by turning the mic volume up, but gnome-sound-recorder records nothing but static.
[00:26] <Drk_Guy> neopsyche, Settings/Preferences/Video/Output modules/XVideo
[00:27] <Hotkey> Can someone suggest a keyboard macro/script program so i can "hotkey" things like name, address, phone, city, state, email address, etc.
[00:27] <Blaqlight> Ben43: I found that out AFTER I bought the bluetooth mouse that it didn't have a built-in bluetooth.
[00:27] <Kronos> kitche: just drag and drop... and copy and paste but no terminal commands as unfortunatly i dont know how
[00:27] <Drk_Guy> neopsyche, In VLC, check Advanced Settings...
[00:27] <Ben43> Blaqlight: ah
[00:27] <Ben43> Blaqlight: blueproximity works :)
[00:27] <squarebracket> overlordpuppy: one moment
[00:27] <neopsyche> Drk_Guy: hmm.. maby i should start booking flights ;-)
[00:27] <neopsyche> lol
[00:27] <Ben43> linked it to my phone
[00:27] <neopsyche> :-)

[00:27] <neopsyche> Drk_Guy: yes.. advanced options?
[00:27] <Kronos> kitche: well dont know how and would prove rather triky to have to write ha fairly big line of txt to copy and paste everything i want off the drives
[00:27] <Ben43> Blaqlight:  allright, allright not your life story
[00:28] <Ben43> Blaqlight: lol sorry

[00:28] <neopsyche> Drk_Guy: ok.. but what option does it have.. what is it called?
[00:28] <neopsyche> Drk_Guy: no .. go ahead
[00:29] <thinman1189> can ﻿sudo apt-get autoremove mess up anything?
[00:29] <Blaqlight> jerrymay: is the .bin executable?

[00:29] <jerrymay> i tried file
[00:29] <MasterZeik95> hello

I've also tried booting into 2.6.24-18 and doing same things -  with no luck. I'm out of ideas....Any advice?
[00:30] <Blaqlight> if its not then chmod +x filename then ./filename

[00:36] <ajax4> Jack_Sparrow: Nah, that wasn't it. It's a graphical program that asks you what your video card is, etc. It was a new thing put in a recent version of Ubuntu
[00:36] <overlordpuppy> ﻿squarebracket: It's a RealTek AC95

[00:37] <Blaqlight> jerrymay: ALT F2 then type the name of the program
[00:37] <kitche> andycas: probably never
[00:37] <andycas> kitche: Why?
[00:38] <Kronos> i'm sorry, trying to be patient... please check time between help requests.
[00:38] <andycas> kitche: Sigh, .26 is released and we still sit on this .24-19
[00:38] <kitche> andycas: if their is a huge security flaw in ubuntu kernel then most likely they will update it
[00:39] <Blaqlight> jerrymay: ALT F2 will show it if you scroll through the list also.
[00:39] <andycas> kitche: What about new drivers included in .25 (and .26)
[00:39] <soundray> andycas: intrepid will be released with a new kernel
[00:39] <kitche> andycas: newest version of kernels doesnt mean a whole lot really myself I'd rahter use an older kernel that is known to work
[00:39] <Kane1> i think my sound card is working but the volume control doesnt do jack
[00:40] <Blaqlight> Kane1: type alsamixer into a terminal
[00:40] <soundray> andycas: between releases, Ubuntu sticks to a tried and tested kernel, which will only be updated with security fixes
[00:40] <Kane1> im there but i dont wanna open up alsamixer everytime i wanna change volume
[00:40] <zvacet> andycas : did you looked http://www.ubuntugeek.com/automatically-compile-and-install-the-latest-kernel-using-kernelcheck-in-ubuntu.html
[00:41] <kitche> Kane1: what is PCM set to?
[00:41] <kitche> Kane1: might have to raise that up then do sudo alsactl store

[00:46] <snmpee> you can make your own .deb packages but lets not get ahead of ourselves
[00:46] <soundray> daggerx: the lshw output pertains to your wired network chipset. It doesn't show what wireless chipset you have. Can you locate your wireless card with lspci?

[00:51] <Kane1> ubottu if i wanted to use documentation i wouldnt be on irc
[00:51] <Jack_Sparrow> snmpee  Please stop this now
[00:51] <Kane1> wow, FAIL
[00:51] <squarebracket> overlordpuppy: it sounds like a sample rate issue. i'm sorry, but i have to leave for a few minutes. you might want to try asking someone else for help.
[00:51] <kdavid> Suse what do you mean?
[00:51] <Textbook> oh nice, Terminal is not responding :(
[00:52] <Aquina> jerrymay, which error do you mean?
[00:52] <soundray> snmpee: I'm trying to help here. Please stop distracting me
[00:52] <overlordpuppy> ﻿squarebracket: Ok. . . Audacity says something about the sample rate in its error. . . .

[00:52] <squarebracket> overlordpuppy: yes, then most likely it is set up wrong or some such thing
[00:52] <Jack_Sparrow> soundray I'll look into this...
[00:52] <Aquina> ok, bobertdos. Thx anyways. ;-)
[00:52] <Aquina> jerrymay, give me a second I'll figure it out.
[00:53] <Blaqlight> Textbook: I had that problem too. easiest way to fix it Ive found is just restart x : CTRL ALT BKSP
[00:53] <squarebracket> overlordpuppy: if you say you are having a problem with the sample rate, someone else will probably be able to help you. good luck.
[00:53] <FAJALOU> can anyone help me with GTK 2.x.  I am working on customizing a theme, but have run into some big roadblocks any help?
[00:53] <snmpee> soundray, you can press ctrl+alt+f1 to drop into shell mode, from which you can sudo kill -9 the pid of the terminal process after typing ps ax to find the pid #
[00:53] <overlordpuppy> ﻿squarebracket: Thanks
[00:53] <Jack_Sparrow> Kane1 Just because you are on irc does not mean you dont need to read the factoids .. We dont spoonfeed..
[00:53] <Blaqlight> Textbook: also what snmpee said works too
[00:53] <kdavid> Suse I sent you a private message
[00:53] <soundray> kevinO: for your mouse to work, there would have to be a reference from the ServerLayout section to the section that defines the mouse
[00:53] <soundray> snmpee: why are you telling me that?
[00:54] <Aquina> Open a shell and enter "sudo apt-get install gdebi", jerrymay. ;-)
[00:54] <soundray> Jack_Sparrow: thank you
[00:54] <Jack_Sparrow> snmpee THat does not seem to be an answer to anything in regards to soundray
[00:54] <nalioth> let us be civil
[00:54] <snmpee> soundray, why are you still talking to me
[00:54] <kevinO> soundray, but it works with no reference, to anything cause it worked the way it was before
[00:55] <Sergeant_Pony> Jack_Sparrow: I got it to work and with no crashes
[00:55] <kevinO> soundray, if i remove the touchscreen info i put in, it works
[00:55] <Kane1> fixed it myself, i feel like a hero
[00:55] <Kane1> bye all
[00:55] <Jack_Sparrow> bye
[00:55] <Aquina> jerrymay, I'm not sure if the application will be in your menue then. Simply add a shoutcut in your Start/Applications menue or run a command in the shell ("sudo gdebi-gtk").
[00:56] <Aquina> Then choose your packet and install it. ,-) Remeber to use sudo when installing software that needs to write in system dirs.
[00:56] <soundray> kevinO: if you want both to work, you need that reference
[00:56] <Akazawa> where are the error logs?

[00:58] <rockenrola1> kdavid: the free virtual box does not have usb support
[00:58] <Textbook> thanks Blaqlight, unfortunately not even restarting X helps :(
[00:58] <AnimatedBox> how do I get gfxboot to work?
[00:58] <gustavo`> hi
[00:58] <gustavo`> =]
[00:58] <soundray> daggerx: please pastebin the output from lspci and lsusb
[00:58] <kdavid> it says it has usb support
[00:58] <kdavid> do you mean it just never works?
[00:58] <rockenrola1> kdavid: no. only the non-free one does
[00:58] <amenado> kdavid there is usb support, you have to install the additional
[00:59] <Blaqlight> s there a quick way to search for text in terminal's buffer?
[00:59] <thinman1189> what's the command for editing files again?
[00:59] <unop> $EDITOR file
[00:59] <kdavid> the additional whats?
[00:59] <bobertdos> ﻿Textbook: Are you running Hardy?
[00:59] <Textbook> yes
[00:59] <amenado> !who | kdavid
[01:00] <edz> i just downloaded the new ubuntu and have desktop effects ativated, how i do i get to see the cubed version like in the video on youtube
[01:00] <kdavid> amenado: the additional whats?
[01:00] <bobertdos> ﻿Textbook: latest kernel?
[01:00] <amenado> kdavid-> guest additions
[01:00] <Textbook> bobertdos: yup
[01:00] <edz> my windows are wobbly already,i just want to know how to see the cubed version..
[01:00] <daggerx> http://paste.ubuntu.com/29149/
[01:00] <Blaqlight> edz: sudo apt-get install compiz-fusion-icon or sudo apt-get install ccsm
[01:00] <soundray> !cube > edz
[01:00] <edz> thnx
[01:00] <kdavid> amenado: I did that
[01:00] <kitche> edz: ctrl+alt+ arrow keys left right and it should work
[01:01] <juancarlos> hi, this is sort of a programming question... i need to generate a list of random english words. does anyone where could i find a dictionary to do this?
[01:01] <amenado> kdavid then you should have access, reboot and try again
[01:01] <gustavo`> channel for helps?
[01:01] <edz> omg omg its going to be sooo pimp, thankz
[01:01] <gustavo`> channel for helps?,
[01:01] <bobertdos> ﻿Textbook: Well, as for your system's overall instability, it's hard to say. For Firefox though, have you considered trying Mozilla's build as opposed to Ubuntu's?
[01:01] <amenado> juancarlos-> install dict
[01:01] <Blaqlight> edz: it requires proper drivers and a decent video card though.
[01:01] <juancarlos> thanks amenado
[01:01] <daggerx> http://paste.ubuntu.com/29151/
[01:01] <Textbook> bobertdos: I think the firefox instability is directly related to system instability though, so I doubt it would help.  (to answer your question, no I haven't tried it)
[01:01] <kdavid> amenado: I did that over and over I had a guy named Bogh on here try and help me but to no avail.
[01:02] <glitsj16> Textbook: does your firefox start in safe-mode ? if so it might be a plugin or an add-on conflict, easily checked ..
[01:02] <Textbook> bobertdos: my system has done this like 4 times in the last week, today my touchpad stopped working entirely
[01:02] <soundray> juancarlos: there is a /usr/share/dict/american-english if you install the wamerican package
[01:02] <rockenrola1> kdavid: http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Editions
[01:02] <edz> i got geforce 8800 gtx
[01:02] <Textbook> and I've had Ubuntu installed since 7.10, never had stability problems like this
[01:02] <getBoa> how do i fix my cedilla problem with that patch ? http://stoa.usp.br/leitao/weblog/22703.html
[01:02] <edz> well blaqlike your apt-get's didnt work
[01:03] <edz> it didnt find any of those
[01:03] <bobertdos> ﻿Textbook: How stable was it prior to the past week?
[01:03] <amenado> kdavid-> i dont know about yours, but i have mine enabled, if I click on Devices->Usb Devices  my usb dongle memory shows up
[01:03] <solexious> [Q] What can I use to browse files on my bluetooth phome?
[01:03] <soundray> edz: please read the private message that ubottu sent
[01:03] <juancarlos> soundray: sweet!!!!
[01:03] <Textbook> bobertdos: really couldn't tell you, I haven't used it for a while, just started using it again last week and it was crappy from the start
[01:03] <Blaqlight> edz: check you private messege.
[01:03] <edz> thanks soundray, i just saw that...
[01:04] <thinman1189> how do I open a file from terminal other than pico?
[01:04] <unop> Blaqlight, i am not sure about the gnome-terminal .. urxvt has a scrollback search
[01:04] <unop> thinman1189, gedit file # to open it up in gedit
[01:04] <Blaqlight> Id like to be able to search for text within irssi.
[01:04] <kitche> thinman1189: vi, cat, are the two main ones besides emacs
[01:04] <bobertdos> ﻿Textbook: Did you do a direct upgrade from Gutsy?
[01:05] <_Digi_> Gentlemen - I am trying to figure out how to turn on my window switcher...it went away
[01:05] <Blaqlight> whish right now is running in gnome-terminal
[01:05] <amenado> thinman1189-> sed and awk and grep :P
[01:05] <Textbook> bobertdos: yes, this install started with either 7.04 or 7.10 (can't remember) and I've upgraded every one since
[01:05] <Textbook> I think 7.04
[01:05] <snmpee> thinman1189, nano isn't bad either
[01:05]  * bobertdos face-palms
[01:06] <soundray> _Digi_: right-click the panel, select Add to Panel and add the Workspace Switcher
[01:06] <Textbook> bobertdos: I think it was 7.04 to 7.10 to 8.04
[01:06] <KenBW3> Textbook: id remember by what wallapaer it was using
[01:06] <KenBW3> Textbook: 7.04 had the boring one, 7.10 had the brown swishes
[01:06] <Textbook> KenBW3: I change the wallpaper to a half-naked girl :P
[01:06] <bobertdos> ﻿Textbook: That is the problem right there. I did that once a long time ago from Dapper Drake to Feisty and it was a disaster.
[01:06] <KenBW3> i see ^o)
[01:06] <_Digi_> Thanks got it working
[01:06] <Blaqlight> unop: will irssi run well in urxvt?
[01:07] <thinman1189> thanks guys
[01:07] <Textbook> bobertdos: yeah, I think I might have to do a fresh install of HH
[01:07] <snmpee> thinman1189, also cat thefile|more will give you a page by page output and cat thefile|less gives you a different interface that does the same thing and most find more appealing.
[01:07] <unop> Blaqlight, yes - not sure how the scrollback search feature works with irssi tho
[01:07] <jlulian38> Do I have to set iocharset=utf8 on an ext3 partition?
[01:07] <jlulian38> It's erroring on me as it is
[01:07] <thinman1189> snmpee: thanks I'll check it out
[01:07] <unop> snmpee, useless use of cat.  simply.  more file
[01:07] <rapid> where as more file and tail filebah

[01:08] <Textbook> hey, I'm going to go help my friend set up a router, but thanks to everybody who helped me, Blaqlight, bobertdos, and KenBW3
[01:08] <Textbook> I'll probably reinstall XP and Ubuntu tomorrow
[01:08] <KenBW3> Textbook: lol, np
[01:08] <KenBW3> Textbook: hold the XP
[01:08] <snmpee> unop, yeah you can do that too bad habit from old unix
[01:08] <Ben43> whats the password for nobody
[01:08] <Blaqlight> unop: is there a diference between urxvt and rxvt... cause I already have the latter installed.
[01:08] <bobertdos> ﻿Textbook: yeah, you shouldn't have to reinstall XP if the two are already on separate partitions.......
[01:09] <genii> Ben43: There isn't one
[01:09] <unop> Blaqlight, yea, big difference - urxvt is a fork from the original rxvt
[01:09] <KenBW3> bobertdos: I meant hold XP altogether, or wipe it if already there
[01:09] <KenBW3> :P
[01:09] <Textbook> uh.. yeah I do :X I got a virus and a guy hacked into my computer , spent $600 of my PayPal
[01:09] <Blaqlight> Ben43: anyone
[01:09] <Textbook> so yeah, I definitely need to format that, lol
[01:09] <Ben43> dam
[01:09] <snmpee> unop, however, to my defense, it's not entirely useless because it works more universally in syntax on more systems
[01:10] <Guest91427> Textbook, damn
[01:10] <bobertdos> Textbook: OHH!! Well I'd definitely start from scratch then :D
[01:10] <Gman99999> I just did a rootkit scan and came up with some warnings , is there anyone here who is knowledgeable in the security sector?
[01:10] <snmpee> Textbook, did you have your password saved or something?
[01:11] <Textbook> haha, it wasn't a big deal, I got all my money back and I have the kid's real name, age, address, and phone number, reported him to the FBI
[01:11] <Textbook> snmpee: yup
[01:11] <unop> snmpee, more than useless i should have said it's ineffecient - your pager should be capable of reading files without you needing to pipe to it from another program that reads files
[01:11] <snmpee> Gman99999, scan with nessus
[01:11] <daggerx> with the usb wifi card i get this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/29157/
[01:11] <snmpee> Gman99999, there is also a #security
[01:11] <Gman99999> whay's nessus?
[01:11] <daggerx> still there soundray?
[01:11] <Blaqlight> unop: is it called something else now cause it comes up as > yeahconsole - drop-down X terminal emulator wrapper < when I apt-cache search urxvt
[01:11] <Gman99999> I used rkhunter
[01:11] <soundray> daggerx: yes
[01:12] <soundray> daggerx: did you pastebin lsusb and lspci as I requested?
[01:12] <snmpee> Gman99999, nessus is a security vulnerability auditing tool. Everybody should run nessus against their systems to probe for security problems. nessus tells you what the problems are and how to fix them.
[01:12] <daggerx> yes a few posts up
[01:12] <Gman99999> ok
[01:12] <glitsj16> Gman99999: did you configure rkhunter ? if not it will throw quite a few warnings, most of those being false positives
[01:12] <daggerx> http://paste.ubuntu.com/29149/
[01:12] <snmpee> oh yes rkhunter is good too

[01:13] <Gman99999> well Ive had some weird things happen lately like a whole bunch of porn says it was searched under histories in firefox when no one used the computer
[01:13] <daggerx> !tab
[01:13] <Blaqlight> unop: thanks :D
[01:13] <KenBW3> Gman99999: ahhh, thats what they *told* you ;)
[01:13] <soundray> daggerx: that's lspci, can't see wifi there. Did you paste lsusb, too?
[01:14] <Gman99999> Im the only one here
[01:14] <KenBW3> Gman99999: oh...
[01:14] <snmpee> Gman99999, step one disable services like ssh etc and work from the console
[01:14] <prince_jammys> Gman99999: your porn talks to you?
[01:14] <Gman99999> how do you do that?
[01:14] <synapse9856> Can someone confirm or know of poor Samba performance in Hardy?
[01:14] <moldy> synapse9856: works ok here
[01:15] <snmpee> Gman99999, System -> Services
[01:15] <daggerx> this is w/o the usb wifi card http://paste.ubuntu.com/29158/
[01:15] <craigbass1976> Is there an ubuntu livecd that I can use to clean viruses off a windows box?
[01:15] <Blaqlight> synapse9856: I use it everyday, works better than windows to windows file tranfers :D
[01:15] <KenBW3> craigbass1976: yea, the ubuntu, er livecd
[01:15] <bobertdos> ﻿synapse9856: If by "poor" you mean nightmarishly stubborn with file shares, then yes, I will confirm that :D
[01:15] <soundray> daggerx: got it now, thanks. There doesn't seem to be built-in wifi hardware in your laptop
[01:15] <Gman99999> my network service xinetd came up with errors in rkhunter
[01:15] <craigbass1976> KenBW3, that has clamav?
[01:16] <daggerx> i see the antenna picture on the panel though
[01:16] <KenBW3> craigbass1976: you can install it once it's up and running
[01:16] <synapse9856> I get terrible speeds.  I can"upload" to the samba share at about 420 KB/s, I can "download" at around 66 KB/s
[01:16] <snmpee> Gman99999, as far as how to use nessus, rtfm but there is a #nessus for you
[01:16] <soundray> daggerx: was there an option for it in the BIOS?
[01:16] <KenBW3> craigbass1976: i assume clamav is a linux irus scanner for windows viruses (virii?)
[01:16] <daggerx> yup and its enabled
[01:16] <Gman99999> snmpee my network service xinetd came up with errors in rkhunter
[01:17] <snmpee> Gman99999, pastebin the errors.
[01:17] <craigbass1976> KenBW3, yep.  Not sure what detection rates are these days; last I knew it was 50-60%
[01:17] <snmpee> !pastebin
[01:17] <keta> Howcome the terminal won't stay in avant when its restarted?
[01:17] <craigbass1976> KenBW3, Norton is only 85%
[01:17] <keta> i see FF there, but terminal never stays
[01:17] <Jack_Sparrow> snmpee NOTE: we do not use RTFM in here..  Obfuscated swearing is still swearing. we dont accept it of our users.. Please keep the room family friendly.\
[01:17] <KenBW3> craigbass1976: well once you have the LiveCD running you can install clamav and run it from there
[01:17] <snmpee> rtm?
[01:18] <craigbass1976> Ahh.
[01:18] <keta> better
[01:18] <KenBW3> craigbass1976: you familiar with installation?
[01:18] <Blaqlight> KenBW3: I use the avg free for virus scanning.
[01:18] <snmpee> what's wrong with Read The Friendly Manual?
[01:18] <Gman99999> snmpee http://paste.ubuntu.com/29159/
[01:18] <Jack_Sparrow> snmpee That is one of many intrepetations.. DOnt use it
[01:18] <craigbass1976> KenBW3, quite, though I don't mess with windows much...  Is ntfs rw pretty easy to get going now in ubuntu?
[01:18] <Blaqlight> snmpee: we all know what those 4 letters mean :P
[01:18] <KenBW3> craigbass1976: plugnplay
[01:18] <unop> snmpee, that however is not the largely accepted definition - most know it by the other profane one
[01:19] <synapse9856> Why might I get poor speeds downloading from a samba share, but uploading is fine? Are there ports associated with samba?
[01:19] <guyzmo> hi
[01:19] <snmpee> i'm taking it back for Friendly, man!
[01:19] <jamus> why whaen i try to change to another channel in x- chat after about ten sec\. program stalls and i have to force quit it any solutions to this annoing thing?
[01:19] <KenBW3> craigbass1976: i know a virus scanner thats got a 100% detection rate. it's called Windows
[01:19] <Jack_Sparrow> snmpee Please stop this and the offtopic
[01:19] <Blaqlight> synapse9856: 420kb/s is good? is this share in the same building as you?
[01:19] <craigbass1976> KenBW3, right...  I can't believe people are still using that buggy os...
[01:20] <KenBW3> craigbass1976: so why do you have it installed?
[01:20] <zerum> Hello! I'm using Hardy Heron as a developer workstation (amd64 architecture) and GDB keeps crashing on me with a "Cannot find new threads" error. Any ideas?
[01:20] <craigbass1976> KenBW3, fixing two friends' computers that aren't brave enough to cross over to the light side
[01:20] <synapse9856> Blaqlight: Well, its better... I get ~2 MB/s sharing between two vista boxes. Yeah, it's in the same building over wireless.
[01:20] <rockenrola1> zerum: GDB ?
[01:21] <rubi> after i updated hardy - it switched to low resolution and ignored the invidia graphic chip, how do i make it see nvidia nad revert back to normal resolution?
[01:21] <zerum> rockenrola1: Gnu Debugger
[01:21] <Blaqlight> KenBW3: I get 2mb/s up and down the share is 10 feet away.
[01:21] <craigbass1976> KenBW3, one of them is Vista, which I have NEVER gotten farther into than looking in the start menu
[01:21] <KenBW3> craigbass1976: ah. you *could* put them a Windows theme on Ubuntu and see how long it takes for them to notice :P
[01:21] <Blaqlight> KenBW3: also over wireless.
[01:21] <craigbass1976> KenBW3, no, they have software that won't run.. They'd catch on
[01:21] <soundray> daggerx: I'm out of suggestions -- if your hardware isn't even seen, it'll be a difficult problem to solve
[01:21] <KenBW3> craigbass1976: ive just had a week at someone else's vista PC - its not all that great
[01:21] <guyzmo> I'm having a very strange problem with hardy heron and my apple bluetooth keyboard, and I find no bugtraq nor forum discussion about it... here it goes : last time I tried to connect to the keyboard, the computer freezed with capslock/scroll lock keys blinking, since the mouse can't connect. Before, I used to be able to connect the mouse, and sometimes the keyboard, but both were repeating all keypress I made
[01:22] <craigbass1976> KenBW3, Thanks for info; I burned xubuntu the other day so I have a new cd; going to go use it
[01:22] <Gman99999> how do you use nessus?  I'm stuck at new session setup Nessusd Host? what is the host? localhost doesnt work
[01:22] <KenBW3> craigbass1976: np
[01:22] <daggerx> ok fair enough...when i put the wifi usb is says z com
[01:22] <snmpee> Gman99999, i see no conclusive evidence of a rootkit. the files that have been changed since the last scan are consistent with an ubuntu upgrade, which according to this log it did detect
[01:22] <daggerx> can we work with that
[01:22] <jerrymay> does anyone know how to install maple 11 on ubuntu 8.04?
[01:22] <KenBW3> Blaqlight: whats your problem?
[01:22] <guyzmo> I'd need some pointers to be sure this problem is not reported, and then be directed to the right place to report it...
[01:22] <Gman99999> snpee ok
[01:22] <bazhang_> !info nessus
[01:22] <snmpee> warnings are not a "found"
[01:22] <craigbass1976> KenBW3, I'ts downright terrible; though I will give it a "pretty" rating, whatever that's good for when everything esle is useless...  See you later
[01:22] <Gman99999> as far as the porn links found in my histories?
[01:22] <Blaqlight> KenBW3: none, I thought you had one.
[01:23] <jerrymay> anyone knows how to install maple 11?
[01:23] <overlordpuppy> How can I adjust the sample rate of gnome-sound-recorder
[01:23] <synapse9856> Blaqlight: Hmm. Do you share between linux and vista?
[01:23]  * Blaqlight backs away from KenBW3 slowly...
[01:23] <Gman99999> I use linux for secure banking and such i would like to know if Im screwed
[01:23] <KenBW3> Blaqlight: oh right, no i was helping someone else :P
[01:23] <bazhang_> jerrymay, native linux or via wine
[01:23] <guyzmo> and I tried reinstalling, but I get "reboot" messages when I try to boot from the hard heron CD
[01:23] <Gman99999> snmpee I use linux for secure banking and such i would like to know if Im screwed
[01:23] <synapse9856> Blaqlight: You mistook me for kenbw3.
[01:23] <daggerx> soundray, http://paste.ubuntu.com/29162/ - the problem with is is that when i use it (the usb card) the connection is in and out
[01:23] <Blaqlight> synapse9856: ubuntu 8.04 and xp home.
[01:24] <snmpee> Gman99999, i would go get a second opinion in #security if i were you. i'm pretty good in this particular area, good enough to know only one opinion is not as good as two =)
[01:24] <guyzmo> 2 monthes I upgraded to hardy heron, and no luck getting it to work, I'm getting bored...
[01:24] <KenBW3> right bed time for me - job interview in the morning
[01:24] <synapse9856> Blaqlight: I get poor performance between Vista and Hardy, as well as between XP Home and Hardy. It's definitely a problem on the Ubuntu box.
[01:25] <beowolf> ed in firefox? Anyone know?
[01:25] <beowolf> How can I watch WMP embedded content in firefox? Anyone know?
[01:25] <Blaqlight> synapse9856: you have firestarter installed?
[01:26] <Blaqlight> synapse9856: or do iptables manually?
[01:26] <rapid> beowulf: whats the url you viewing.. Ill see if it works
[01:26] <snmpee> Gman99999, it's also a great idea to change your passwords regularly on such banking websites
[01:26] <Gman99999> yea
[01:27] <daggerx> soundray, http://paste.ubuntu.com/29162/ - the problem with is is that when i use it (the usb card) the connection is in and out
[01:27] <Jack_Sparrow> Gman99999 Quick question, have you installed anything from outside official repos or run scripts you found on the web to install things for you
[01:27] <jerrymay> baznang, it is a .bin file
[01:27] <soundray> daggerx: please ask the channel about this. I have little experience with Prism devices (you might want to say that it's one of those)
[01:27] <rubi> i don't have an nvidia option in "hardware drivers" -how do i get it to recognise it on hardy?
[01:27] <adude> how can i view all the devices attached to my computer?
[01:27] <synapse9856> Blaqlight: No firestarter or custom iptables. This is an odd problem.
[01:27] <Gman99999> not that Im aware of
[01:27] <Jack_Sparrow> jerrymay How to install anything in Ubuntu: http://monkeyblog.org/ubuntu/installing/            ./configure ; make ; sudo make install
[01:27] <Gman99999> but its possible
[01:27] <rapid> adude: try, lspci and lsusb
[01:27] <Jack_Sparrow> rubi Laptop or desktop
[01:28] <histo> Anyone know hwo to get images working in w3m? I installed w3m-img
[01:28] <glitsj16> beowolf: install mplayer and the mozilla-mplayer packages if you haven't any plugins for wmv support, works jus fine
[01:28] <daggerx> ok thank you
[01:28] <rubi> Jack_Sparrow, desktop, it disappered after i updated hardy yesterday - akernel update i think
[01:28] <Gman99999> anyone know how to set up nessus? what do i type in for a nessus host?
[01:28] <Jack_Sparrow> rubi Do you have the specs for your monitor?
[01:28] <Blaqlight> synapse9856: hows the tranfers between windows xp and vista?
[01:29] <synapse9856> Blaqlight: ~2 MB/s
[01:29] <iamcool> what are the main differences between the vanilla kernel and the -mm kernel
[01:29] <daggerx> can some1 help me with a prism driver, using t41 with a usb wifi and the connection is not consistant - it will stay on for a while and then cut off
[01:29] <Jack_Sparrow> rubi the biggest problem is in the monitor v/h rates not being recognized properly
[01:29] <rubi> Jack_Sparrow, 1440X990 is what the monitor suggests
[01:29] <soundray> iamcool: better to ask this in ##linux
[01:29] <Jack_Sparrow> rubi That is not what I need
[01:29] <snmpee> Gman99999, there is a #nessus but it runs as a server and you have a client which connects to the service
[01:29] <iamcool> okty
[01:29] <danfg> i have ubuntu running gnome, i want to install a kde application from synaptic and it requires loads of kde stuff, should i install it?
[01:30] <Blaqlight> cuase thats funny
[01:30] <rubi> Jack_Sparrow, sorry ,what do you need?
[01:30] <Jack_Sparrow> rubi Please find me a pdf of your monitors specs.
[01:30] <leftyfb> Has anyone here used sshguard? I can run it manually to stderr as sudo, but adding it to syslog is giving me nothing. I THINK it's a problem with permissions, but i've already tried chowning  sshguard to syslog and it still gave me nothing. Nothing in messages or syslog about sshguard at all.
[01:30] <snmpee> Gman99999, there is a howto and lengthy documentation at www.nessus.org and in various sites on google.
[01:30] <soundray> danfg: it's fine, as long as you have enough disk space
[01:30] <rubi> Jack_Sparrow, ok ,let me google it
[01:30] <squarebracket> overlordpuppy: did you get it working?
[01:30] <synapse9856> Blaqlight: Well, I didn't realize, but iwconfig says my wireless connection is limited to 1 Mb/s
[01:30] <glitsj16> danfg: if you're sure you want the KDE app there's no way around installing ti's dependencies
[01:30] <prince_jammys> danfg: that's normal. you can uninstall them later if you chose to. it's probably the first kde app you've installed.
[01:30] <synapse9856> Blaqlight: That just might slow things down.
[01:31] <overlordpuppy> squarebracket: Nope.
[01:31] <danfg> prince_jammys: yes i'm a kde virgin
[01:31] <Blaqlight> synapse9856: that would do it.
[01:31] <daggerx> can some1 help me with a prism driver, using t41 with a usb wifi and the connection is not consistant - it will stay on for a while and then cut off
[01:31] <cl0s_> danfg: and a sudo apt-get autoremove should remove any of the temp stuff it needed for the install and clean it up a little bitt
[01:31] <prince_jammys> danfg: yeah, so you have to install some kde libraries. not a problem
[01:31] <jerrymay> how do install a .bin file it's a maple 11 for linux
[01:31] <danfg> prince_jammys: ok i was just wondering if it would hurt or if it would be a wonderful romantic experience
[01:31] <squarebracket> does anybody know offhand where the sound config files would be for changing sample rates?
[01:31] <danfg> :)
[01:32] <Blaqlight> jerrymay: ./filename
[01:32] <prince_jammys> danfg: it was for me
[01:32] <soundray> !maple | jerrymay
[01:32] <Jack_Sparrow> jerrymay I posed a link on how to install anything
[01:32] <squarebracket> !sound
[01:32] <cl0s_> jerrymay: run it from command line most likely... sh whatever.bin or what Blaqlight just said..
[01:32] <danfg> ok i'll install the kde stuff, thanks u guys
[01:33] <Jack_Sparrow> jerrymay How to install anything in Ubuntu: http://monkeyblog.org/ubuntu/installing/            ./configure ; make ; sudo make install

[01:34] <insta> how do i install the source code for cup
[01:34] <Blaqlight> jerrymay: if its not executable it won't install.
[01:34] <leftyfb> Jack_Sparrow: any idea on what the issue might be with my sshguard/syslog problem? Or maybe some steps I can do to troubleshoot?
[01:34] <Blaqlight> jerrymay: chmod +X filename then sh filename.bin or ./filename.bin
[01:34] <ddd> Mysigt, kan jag byta färger för min text via openbox istället för gnome? Har tydligen gnomes-färgval kvar
[01:35] <AnimatedBox> help! I can't get gfxboot to work.
[01:35] <edz> omg, the cubed desktop is the most pimp thing i have ever seen
[01:35] <Jack_Sparrow> leftyfb No, I have been with other problems and not paying attention.  Be patient, someone will answer
[01:35] <daggerx> can some1 help me with a prism driver, using t41 with a usb wifi and the connection is not consistant - it will stay on for a while and then cut off
[01:35] <soundray> ddd: is that Swedish or Danish?
[01:35] <ddd> wops wrong window
[01:35] <ddd> soundray, swedish :P
[01:35] <soundray> daggerx: you're repeating too frequently. Leave some time for new people to log on
[01:35] <cl0s_> blaqlight: if you do sh filename.. i dont think you have to chmod +x...
[01:35] <cl0s_> thats only if u just run it like ./filename or filename..
[01:36] <bazhang> daggerx, how long does it stay a solid connection on average
[01:36] <synapse9856> I am using b43-fwcutter for wireless, and iwconfig says I am getting ~1 Mb/s. How can I fix this?
[01:36] <budah> i need help with video playing
[01:37] <budah> or playing video, rather
[01:37] <daggerx> 5  to 10 min give or take, then cuts off and it wont reconnect until i unplug and reconnect the usb wifi card
[01:37] <Jack_Sparrow> !restricted
[01:37] <bazhang> budah, install ubuntu-restricted-extras and install vlc
[01:37] <_Mart_> How can I let the taskbar show all running programs on all my 4 desktops?
[01:37] <_Mart_> in gnome?
[01:37] <cl0s_> jerrymay: it could also be you have to "sudo sh whatever.bin" if its installing it system wide.. make sure u trust who u got the file from though...
[01:38] <rubi> Jack_Sparrow, is this pdf something that the maker should provide me with?
[01:38] <Sylphid> synapse9856, what does the signal strength read  from iwconfig
[01:38] <soundray> _Mart_: on the right of the window list applet, there is a handle. Right-click it, select Preferences and you'll see
[01:38] <Jack_Sparrow> rubi yes, HorizSync and VertRefresh   are the two things we need
[01:39] <synapse9856> Sylphid: Signal level says -64 dBm
[01:39] <insta> how do i install the source code for cups
[01:39] <rubi> Jack_Sparrow, ok, thanks
[01:39] <insta> i cannot find it in the package manager
[01:39] <cl0s_> insta: cups for your printer??
[01:39] <squarebracket> overlordpuppy: have you tried using jack?
[01:39] <_Mart_> soundray: looking but can't find what you say
[01:39] <insta> cl0s_ : yes
[01:39] <cl0s_> what printer do you have?
[01:39] <soundray> insta: enable the source repositories (System-Admin-Software sources), then 'apt-get source cups'
[01:39] <overlordpuppy> squarebracket: No. Is it better than ALSA?
[01:40] <insta> cl0s_ : cann on mx 70
[01:40] <insta> cl0s_ : cann on mx 700
[01:40] <Dein> if i have multiple monitors, how can i set up so that when i maximize my vlc player it doesn't maximize to the primary display, but to the secondary?
[01:40] <synapse9856> Sylphid: Now hold on, it is reading 54 Mb/s now. I ran iwconfig wlan0 rate 54M earlier and it didn't change anything. Maybe it's a delayed effect...
[01:40] <squarebracket> overlordpuppy: by a long shot.
[01:40] <_Mart_> soundray: You mean on the panel?
[01:40] <jamus> how can i tell if im on gnome or kde ? (made some changes and im not sure now)
[01:40] <cl0s_> hmm 1 sec.. looking around..
[01:40] <insta> soundray: i cant get a check mark in it... it just has a -
[01:40] <soundray> _Mart_: look at the bottom panel with the window list applet on it.
[01:40] <overlordpuppy> squarebracket: Then, lemme see what I can do about installing JACK
[01:40] <cl0s_> ive never had to install just cups.. alwsays got autoinstalled with other stuff..
[01:41] <overlordpuppy> !jack
[01:41] <squarebracket> overlordpuppy, it's what's used for high-end audio stuff on linux, like ASIO on windows, if you know what that is.
[01:41] <Sylphid> synapse9856, yes when associating ive noticed that the speed does appear to sync low and increase within a minute or so
[01:41] <squarebracket> also make sure you install qjackctl
[01:41] <rubi> Jack_Sparrow, i believe that if i revert to the old kernel nvidia would work, would i be able to find those details using the old kernel?
[01:41] <Jack_Sparrow> rubi nope
[01:41] <overlordpuppy> squarebracket: No idea about all that stuff, but ok.
[01:41] <RxDx> does ubuntu reduces my hdlifetime?
[01:41] <overlordpuppy> Does it have a gnome notification thingy?
[01:41] <rubi> Jack_Sparrow, I see...would you be around in 3 hours?
[01:42] <_Mart_> soundray: found it, thx m8
[01:42] <bazhang> RxDx, of course not
[01:42] <squarebracket> overlordpuppy: could you be more specific?
[01:42] <Jack_Sparrow> rubi Nope
[01:42] <insta> is the source code the libcupssys2-dev?
[01:42] <synapse9856> Sylphid: Well now I can't ping anything on the network. My ifconfig hasnt changed, and iwconfig shows I am still connected to my AP.
[01:42] <soundray> insta: you may have to switch to the Main Server or another mirror
[01:42] <soundray> insta: no
[01:42] <RxDx> bazhang, i read in some blogs that ubuntu does much cicles on hd
[01:42] <pierre_> Hi, i am having trouble importing file in evolution (from thunderbird). When i do import:simgle file; Inbox (from .thunderbird) I dont see the "next" button, it is disabled, whats wrong?
[01:42] <synapse9856> Sylphid: Note I restarted the networking service.
[01:42] <rubi> Jack_Sparrow, i see...can you tell me what to do with the specs once i find them?
[01:42] <Dein> if i have multiple monitors, how can i set up so that when i maximize my vlc player it doesn't maximize to the primary display, but to the secondary?
[01:42] <overlordpuppy> squarebracket: The, uh, thing. The thing that's . . . nm. I'm having trouble thinking right now.
[01:42] <Sylphid> synapse9856, what do you get from route -n
[01:42] <bazhang> RxDx, from blogs? mmmkay.
[01:43] <squarebracket> overlordpuppy: you mean something in the tray you can use to adjust sound levels?
[01:43] <synapse9856> Sylphid: A few ips that don't exist on my network.
[01:43] <overlordpuppy> Yeah that.

[01:43] <jamus> overlordpuppy:  unix systems are very  good for old pcs so i think u shoudlnt have any problems
[01:43] <cl0s_> all the cannon linux drivers.. only for up to MP520 but people say it works for their 700
[01:43] <Jack_Sparrow> rubi Edit this with your specs... http://paste.ubuntu.com/29163/       then merge that info into your /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[01:43] <squarebracket> overlordpuppy, i think so.. one sec.
[01:43] <jamus> overlordpuppy:  unix based systems****
[01:44] <insta> cl0s_: I already know what i need to do I just need to get the cups sources to do it.
[01:44] <synapse9856> Sylphid: I added my gateway with route add default gw 192.168.2.1, didnt't work
[01:44] <soundray> insta: did you get what I said?
[01:44] <Sylphid> synapse9856, you forgot the interface at the end
[01:44] <soundray> insta: switch to the Main Server or another mirror
[01:44] <insta> soundray: yes i switched to the main server
[01:44] <ani1> Hey i have a sound problem... Every once and  a while when i reboot i loose sound completely. I usually reinstall the alsa packages run sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart but this time its not working. If i run sudo /sbin/alsa force-reload i can get sound out of one ear but if i modify the sound slider at all the sound stops working. Any suggestions?
[01:44] <Jack_Sparrow> rubi you can try this if you want a quick fix..  sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings           go into settings and pick a generic lcd monitor and your res and hope for the best
[01:44] <soundray> insta: still no source?
[01:44] <rubi> Jack_Sparrow, mine is a Samsung - do i need to change the "generic " to samsung or does it not matter?
[01:44] <overlordpuppy> ﻿jamus: Wow. That was really random.
[01:44] <insta> soundray: nope
[01:45] <Jack_Sparrow> rubi leave it generic..
[01:45] <synapse9856> Sylphid: it assigned it to wlan0 automatically
[01:45] <Dfronius> Hi. Any of you good with Samba?
[01:45] <synapse9856> Sylphid: which is the correct card
[01:45] <insta> soundray: wait a min it just let me put a check mark in the sources...
[01:45] <rubi> Jack_Sparrow, thank you very much
[01:45] <Sylphid> synapse9856, anything in iptables -L
[01:45] <insta> soundray: reloading the repository now
[01:45] <Jack_Sparrow> rubi Best of luck.. I will stay for a few if you want to try the last option
[01:45] <Dfronius> no one?
[01:46] <insta> soundray: do you know what the package would be named?
[01:46] <Dfronius> what about another way to network with winxp system?
[01:46] <danfg> dfronius: i dance samba
[01:46] <soundray> insta: cupsys
[01:46] <Jack_Sparrow> !samba > Dfronius
[01:46] <overlordpuppy> squarebracket: I've got it installed now and qjackctl. Now what?
[01:47] <rubi> Jack_Sparrow, when i run it i get " You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server. "
[01:47] <synapse9856> Sylphid: chain input, forward, and output are all policy accept
[01:47] <insta> soundray: i see that package but i dont see the sources for it..
[01:47] <squarebracket> overlordpuppy, open jack control, under applications--> sound and video
[01:47] <Blaqlight> hmm rxvt-unicode seems to use a better font, but it seems that there are no menu or gui to it, am I missing something? or should I just read the man page.
[01:47] <rubi> Jack_Sparrow, i guess i have the answer there...
[01:47] <cl0s_> i have my home dir on a diff partion.. im about to reformat my main partion and re-install ubuntu... is it going to auto pick this up??
[01:47] <Jack_Sparrow> rubi so you must be stuck on vea / failsafe
[01:47] <squarebracket> overlordpuppy, then hit start.
[01:47] <Jack_Sparrow> vesa
[01:47] <cl0s_> i do commandline install by the way..
[01:47] <soundray> insta: close the Software Sources dialog, let it reload again if it wants to and do a 'apt-get source cupsys' in a terminal
[01:47] <Dfronius> danfg: sweet. Here's the issue. The Winxp system sees me on it's network places, but can't interact with my shares. I can't even see the XP box in my network places, or interact with the files via nautilus. I can how ever, see and interact with shares via terminal commands
[01:47] <jamus> overlordpuppy:  sorry i was refferingto rxdx -- does ubuntu reduces my hdlifetime?----
[01:47] <cl0s_> i kno how to partion it but not sure if i can reformat one part and itll mount the home as home again..
[01:48] <Sylphid> synapse9856, try sudo dhclient
[01:48] <Jack_Sparrow> rubi good luck, good night..  I'm back to lurking while I fix dinner.. Please play nice all.
[01:48] <insta> soundray: apt-get worked thanks
[01:48] <rubi> Jack_Sparrow, thanks
[01:48] <overlordpuppy> ﻿squarebracket: What's this thing do?
[01:48] <insta> soundray:  'cupsys' packaging is maintained in the 'Svn' version control system at
[01:48] <kiyiko> o, hai thur
[01:48] <synapse9856> Sylphid: That worked, but it bumped my wireless rate down to 11 Mb/s
[01:49] <budah> I'm having trouble playing video.  i tryed reinstalling all related packages. when i play video on any application the actual video is very dark, like the contrast is turned up or something
[01:49] <squarebracket> overlordpuppy, starts the jack server. now try opening audacity, edit--> preferences--> audio i/o and set the recording device to jack
[01:49] <Sylphid> synapse9856, did the signal level change?
[01:49] <kiyiko> few questions, first. do debs require internet to install, or is all the info right there?
[01:50] <Odd-rationale> kiyiko: if you have the .deb file. you can install it without the net.
[01:50] <kiyiko> kk
[01:50] <squarebracket> thinking about it, pulseaudio would probably be a better choice for you than jack. it's been a long day.
[01:50] <Ahadiel> kiyiko, Assuming you have all deps installed already
[01:50] <ani1> Afternoon folks i seem to be have a sound problem and wondering if anybody would mind helping with it. Every once and  a while when i reboot i loose sound completely. I usually reinstall the alsa packages run sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart but this time its not working. If i run sudo /sbin/alsa force-reload i can get sound out of one ear but if i modify the sound slider at all the sound stops working. I have been through the sound troubles
[01:50] <ani1> hooting, the link that ubottu provides, but none of the posts seem to fix the problem except the alsa force-reload which only works if i dont modify the volume. Any sugestions?
[01:50] <squarebracket> it integrates with the gnome tray thingy
[01:50] <synapse9856> Sylphid: Nope. Trying to raise the speed causes the connection to break again, it won't ping.
[01:50] <soundray> kiyiko: there are a few exceptions (msttcorefonts and flashplugin-nonfree come to mind)
[01:50] <Dfronius> danfg: neither of those websites have my problem/solution in them
[01:51] <jacob_> anybody has experience with rdesktop?
[01:51] <kiyiko> if i wanted to learn about programing, what language would you reccomend i begin with. i have SOME basic knowlage of many allready
[01:51] <guyzmo> still nobody aware on bluetooth flaws ?
[01:51] <overlordpuppy> ﻿squarebracket: It sounds even more screwed up now. . .

[01:52] <jacob_linux> anybody has experience with rdesktop?
[01:52] <overlordpuppy> hmmm
[01:52] <overlordpuppy> Strange.
[01:52] <danfg> Dfronius: i meant i actually dance samba, it's a rythym and a dance too. bad joke, sorry i can't be any help
[01:52] <rockenrola1> jacob_linux: some. what's the problem?
[01:52] <edz> i hate how xchat puts the n=
[01:52] <edz> so gay++
[01:52] <Sylphid> synapse9856, is the connection solid at 11M?
[01:53] <Ahadiel> edz, It's a freenode thing actually
[01:53] <kiyiko> edz: have your tried using Mirc via wine?
[01:53] <jacob_linux> rockenrola1, thanks. I couldn't connect to my xp pro from next door (i have a router)
[01:53] <edz> im usuing mirc kiyiko on wine
[01:53] <edz> works perfect
[01:53] <amenado> jacob_linux-> as minimum can you ping ?
[01:53] <jacob_linux> rockenrola1, i have a connection with my home router
[01:53] <jacob_linux> amenado, i don't have much knowledge
[01:54] <edz> i'll let you guys know how steam works on wine in just a few hours ... still downloading..
[01:54] <jacob_linux> amenado, can you quickly do that?
[01:54] <synapse9856> Sylphid: Well I have used it for a week at 1 Mb/s, it was solid enough. It will not stay at 11 Mb/s though. It's down to 2 Mb/s now.
[01:54] <rockenrola1> jacob_linux: can you ping the xp machine?
[01:54] <jacob_linux> amenado, i mean "how to do that"
[01:54] <jacob_linux> rockenrola1, how?
[01:54] <amenado> jacob_linux-> ping xx.x.x.x  x being the ip address of the xp
[01:54] <synapse9856> Sylphid: The link quality has deteriorated to 61/100 from 70
[01:55] <rockenrola1> jacob_linux: as amenado said. do it in the terminal
[01:55] <ganesh> hai

[01:55] <Magno182002> hello anyone know any good bar/dock for ubuntu i ve tried kdock, but dont like it anyone know other?
[01:55]  * Swish is not a brown swish!
[01:55] <cl0s_> kiyiko: u should prob go to a diff room for that.. but if your starting to program for linux i would go with python..
[01:55] <cl0s_> maybe c..
[01:55] <cl0s_> with some gtk+ ..
[01:56] <bazhang> !awn | Magno182002
[01:56] <ganesh> which player can be used for playing dvd files ie for ( .vob)
[01:56] <kyncani> kiyiko: depends what you want to do
[01:56] <Sylphid> synapse9856, have you tried ndiswrapper?
[01:56] <bazhang> vlc ganesh
[01:56] <soundray> kiyiko: python would take you a long way
[01:56] <kitche> ganesh: almost any player
[01:56] <Rolaulten> Good evening everyone, I'm wondering if someone could help me out with a little wireless issue...as far as I can see/or as far as I understand, I have the drivers installed and running just dandy thanks to ndiswraper....However whenever I go  and try to log onto my home network nothing happens...to top it off I am looking at the routers UI from my laptop at the same time *shivers, vista* so...
[01:56] <Rolaulten> ...I think all of the slots are right...so...does anyone have any ideas?
[01:56] <kiyiko> kk, thanks
[01:56] <ganesh> ok does i want to download any codecs
[01:56] <Odd-rationale> kiyiko: you could try javascript and XUL..
[01:56] <overlordpuppy> hmmm
[01:56] <kyncani> Odd-rationale: ;)

[01:57] <glitsj16> Magno182002: what effects are you expecting ?
[01:57] <AnimatedBox> Can someone please help me get gfxboot to work? Now I get "invalid file format" errors.
[01:58] <Odd-rationale> kyncani: no, of course not... XUL is almost as easy as html... :)
[01:58] <guyzmo> ubottu - when it's not something obvious ?
[01:58] <kiyiko> i allready know alot of javascript, visualbasic, and i rox the BASIC on meh TI-86, idk if it will help me much lol
[01:58] <guyzmo> err
[01:58] <guyzmo> soundray*
[01:58] <rockenrola1> jacob_linux: you can steal the session away. but that's not polite
[01:58] <Magno182002> glitsj16:  maybe near some in vids off demontration off compiz
[01:58] <|Source|> yo
[01:58] <soundray> guyzmo: why would that make a difference?
[01:59] <|Source|> ?
[01:59] <Sylphid> synapse9856, just curious what is the range to the AP?
[01:59] <kyncani> Odd-rationale: oh, right, it's just that I asked him it depended heavily on what he did want to do, and xul is somehow specific, but I guess it's all right
[01:59] <glitsj16> Magno182002: there's cairo-dock besides AWN
[01:59] <guyzmo> dunno, I'm asking, I don't know what's affected
[01:59] <jacob_linux> rockenrola1, the owner of the pc is mines
[01:59] <guyzmo> what's the difference between reporting a bug and asking a question ?
[01:59] <soundray> guyzmo: you don't have to report against a specific package
[01:59] <Magno182002> glitsj16:  ok ty i ll look for it ty vm
[01:59] <synapse9856> Sylphid: 2 stories. Had no problems before with ubuntu, though that was back around edgy.
[01:59] <jacob_linux> rockenrola1, my brother uses it to check his myspace though, while i use it for classwork
[02:00] <blario6> Jack_Sparrow: thanks again for the help earlier! finally figured it out
[02:00] <guyzmo> ok
[02:00] <bazhang> Magno182002, as far as dock animation, awn is at or near the top; you may try more compiz effects if that is what you are looking for-->help in #compiz-fusion
[02:00] <soundray> guyzmo: you should be pretty sure that a package needs changing if you report a bug
[02:00] <guyzmo> well I don't know
[02:00] <Sylphid> synapse9856, with fw-cutter?
[02:00] <ColdFyre> http://ralree.com/images/MacPCLinuxTruth.jpg
[02:00] <guyzmo> all worked when I was running feisty
[02:00] <guyzmo> and it's broken with hardy heron
[02:00] <Magno182002> bazhang:  ty i ll look now
[02:00] <jerrymay> anyone know what  ia32-libs does?
[02:00] <rockenrola1> jacob_linux: ok. but what seems to be the exact problem? can you ping the machine. can you connect to the machine using rdesktop?
[02:00] <bazhang> ColdFyre, you have a question with that? if not do not paste random things here
[02:00] <synapse9856> Sylphid: I think it was ndiswrapper.
[02:00] <bizthepirate> Hey, how can I get gEdit to open files as read and write on a FTP connection, and not as Read Only.
[02:01] <edz> heh.
[02:01] <jerrymay> i'm trying to get maple 11 to work on 64bit does  ia32-libs help?
[02:01] <edz> jacob, do you have samba?
[02:01] <jacob_linux> rockenrola1, i am able to use it, but i'm in summer school and i need to acess my data, but i can't get in with my brother in myspace,
[02:01] <glitsj16> bizthepirate: look at http://www.micahcarrick.com/09-29-2007/gedit-html-editor.html, it has it all nicely written down :)
[02:02] <soundray> jerrymay: probably, if you can't get a native 64bit version
[02:02] <jacob_linux> rockenrola1, i'm a student preparing to go to college
[02:02] <Blaqlight> jerrymay: no. the number 32 implies 32 bit.
[02:02] <bizthepirate> soundray: heh, thanks/
[02:02] <synapse9856> Sylphid: I had an ndiswrapper working on it last week, but it would not connect to wireless for the life of it. It didn't show any APs.
[02:02] <jacob_linux> rockenrola1, cuny college :)
[02:03] <Blaqlight> jerrymay: course it could be backwards compatible too, as soundray said.
[02:03] <jacob_linux> rockenrola1, :(
[02:03] <jacob_linux> rockenrola1, I  guess i'll work something out
[02:03] <soundray> !info ia32-libs
[02:03] <jacob_linux> rockenrola1, :(
[02:03] <Amun> ok. i used nvidia-settings to increase resolution to 1600x1200 (which I know my monitor can handle) on my Geforce FX 5950 Ultra. GDM's resolution makes it so I can barely see the login/password boxes, and when I re-login to ubuntu, my resolution is defaulted back to 800x600. how can i fix this?
[02:04] <edz> jacob: slap your brother in the face, kick him off his own machine, then access your data.
[02:04] <jerrymay> maple 11 is a 32 bit program
[02:04] <edz> :)
[02:04] <davemcnamara> I'm hoping for a bit of help- I'm online with my Leopard partition and I'd like to update to the prerelease MadWifi drivers in Ubuntu but I don't have any way to get online there.
[02:04] <rockenrola1> jacob_linux: pacience!! when you login to the xp machine, does it display a warning saying that someone is using the pc?
[02:04] <St-Lemur> Hi, I recently upgraded to Hardy from Gutsy. Lately Firefox has been exhibiting a behavior where it loses sound and I have to kill it; when I re-start it it shows up in top but does not launch a window. Restarting X does not fix this.
[02:04] <davemcnamara> There's a FAT32 partition, too if it means anything.
[02:04] <bizthepirate> ﻿glitsj16: sorry, thanks to you.. my vision or add is bad :-/
[02:05] <St-Lemur> Also, I have no sound in other programs. Is the process pulseaudio supposed to be hanging around?
[02:05] <kyncani> davemcnamara: update some packages to prerelease ? how about installing intrepid current alpha ?
[02:05] <glitsj16> bizthepirate: no worries, ubuntu has accesibility support :p
[02:05] <bizthepirate> ﻿glitsj16: for add?
[02:05] <jacob_linux> rockenrola1, ...
[02:05] <jacob_linux> rockenrola1, ...
[02:05] <glitsj16> bizthepirate: there'a a add helper plugin in compiz yes
[02:06] <Blaqlight> St-Lemur: are you using OSS or ALSA for sound?
[02:06] <rockenrola1> jacob_linux: pacience. I asked you a question
[02:06] <bizthepirate> ﻿glitsj16: no way.... lol.
[02:06] <oc80z> hey where is the entire log from when i boot
[02:06] <soundray> jerrymay: the ia32-libs will probably enable you to run it. You may have to call it with linux32 to set up the environment properly
[02:06] <rockenrola1> jacob_linux: does the cp machine displays a warning if someone is using the pc?

[02:06] <glitsj16> bizthepirate: yup, using it myself to darken some windows, works great
[02:06] <jacob_linux> rockenrola1, yes
[02:07] <synapse9856> Sylphid: Well, thanks for your help. Im going to mess around with ndiswrapper on it, see if it clears things up.

[02:08] <Daisuke_Ido> Blaqlight: "mysteriously" is probably not the right term, as it was planned for
[02:08] <edz> would you guys say that firefox is the best browser for linux?
[02:08] <Dfronius> Any of you savy with Samba?
[02:08] <glitsj16> St-Lemur: or configure it and use it ;)
[02:08] <Blaqlight> macd: I know, but it also seems to be a problem for some people's sound.
[02:08] <rockenrola1> jacob_linux: well you can't do anything about that. your brother has to allow you to log in
[02:08] <edz> samba is easy

[02:09] <Dfronius> I can see my ubuntu box on the xp machine, but I can't interact or see the shares, and I can't see the xp box in my nautilus network places, but I can see and interact with the shares via terminal
[02:09] <macd> edz, with the exception of flash handling ff is pretty decent
[02:09] <soundray> edz: real men telnet to port 80
[02:09] <Chad> Hey guys
[02:09] <Chad> i resized my partition
[02:10] <edz> hahaha soundray
[02:10] <Dfronius> macd: I already looked through those pages, and nothing there partains to my isue
[02:10] <edz> why not just lynx
[02:10] <edz> same thing.
[02:10] <macd> soundray, dont forget the curl+netcat warriors ;P
[02:10] <Chad> My windows partition is now 100 gb and i got 60gb not in a partition
[02:10] <amenado> jacob_linux-> take care of your brother's girlfriend, what willget him off the pc soonest
[02:10] <Kattman> Dfronius: try the machines Ipaddress
[02:10] <amenado> that*
[02:10] <Kattman> ipaddress
[02:10] <St-Lemur> Blaqlight: Hm, I'm having trouble switching between windows as well. Window pops to front but the contents is blank
[02:10] <macd> Dfronius, sometimes making the ubuntu box the WINS server helps resolve that
[02:10] <jacob_linux> amenado ok
[02:10] <Chad> When I'm installing ubuntu, specifically when I'm in the manual partition setup, what setting should i use?
[02:10] <davemcnamara> kyncani suggested that to update  my MadWifi drivers to prerelease from os x I "update some packages to prerelease".  How can I do this?
[02:10] <Dfronius> Kattman: I tried that too. smb:/// doesn't connect
[02:11] <Dfronius> macd: how do I do that?
[02:11] <AnimatedBox> does anyone know how to get gfxboot to work?
[02:11] <Kattman> smb:// ip address
[02:11] <jacob_linux> amenado i wish i can find a way to cutt him off as an administrator
[02:11] <chupy> someone speak spansih?
[02:11] <Odd-rationale> !es
[02:11] <Kattman> two many /'s
[02:11] <Chad> I have 60 gb that i want to make my ubuntu partition but what format should i make it as, and how should i mount it?
[02:11] <edz> yo hablo espanol boquito
[02:11] <macd> Dfronius, in windows youll need to goto network config, and find the tab for advanced tcp/netbios and enable netbios over tcp, and make the ubuntu box the WINS server
[02:12] <Odd-rationale> Chad: ext3 is reccomened
[02:12] <edz> ext3
[02:12] <__yy_> Chad: the defaults should work fine for you
[02:12] <Blaqlight> St-Lemur: empty windows?
[02:12] <Odd-rationale> Chad: mount as / (root)
[02:12] <kyncani> davemcnamara: wait, by prerelease, you do mean that you don't want madwifi drivers already available in hardy but want something newer, right ?
[02:12] <Chad> Odd-rationale:  also i'm dual booting windows and ubuntu
[02:12] <St-Lemur> Blaqlight: Yes. And apparently I can't switch to a terminal with ctrl-alt-f1 either
[02:12] <macd> Chad, the only thing I would change is making /home a seperate partition using about 60% of your disk.
[02:13] <Odd-rationale> Chad: the ubuntu installer should detect your windows parttion and make an grub entry for it...
[02:13] <Blaqlight> St-Lemur: since all this has been happening have you upgraded or something?
[02:13] <davemcnamara> kyncani: I want the ones that will make my atheros apple airport work.
[02:13] <leftyfb> Has anyone here used sshguard? I can run it manually to stderr as sudo, but adding it to syslog is giving me nothing. I THINK it's a problem with permissions, but i've already tried chowning  sshguard to syslog and it still gave me nothing. Nothing in messages or syslog about sshguard at all.
[02:13] <St-Lemur> Blaqlight: It started happening after I upgraded, which was a few days ago
[02:13] <jacob_linux> amenado http://72.14.205.104/search?q=cache:oAhXy0VNB0MJ:www.golod.com/2005/10/enabling-multiple-remote-desktop-sessions-in-windows-xp-professional-and-media-center-edition-2005/+session+xp+remote+linux&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=7&gl=us&client=firefox-a
[02:13] <Chad> Well it sees my windows partition
[02:13] <Sylphid> synapse9856, this may help https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx/Feisty_No-Fluff#head-bc33832c0547766a33c3a84f13f971ca757b2851
[02:13] <kyncani> davemcnamara: and the ones in hardy don't work, right ?
[02:13] <soundray> AnimatedBox: have you had a look at /usr/share/doc/gfxboot/gfxboot.html ?
[02:13] <Blaqlight> St-Lemur: have you full rebooted the computer since them?
[02:13] <Chad> so i then go into manual then i click on free space then new partition
[02:13] <Chad> right?
[02:13] <Blaqlight> then*
[02:14] <Chad> currently my windows partition is 100 gb while the free space is 60 gb
[02:14] <St-Lemur> Blaqlight: Yes. A reboot resolves the problems temporarily but they recur. Restarting X doesn't.
[02:14] <Odd-rationale> Chad: correct.
[02:14] <AnimatedBox> soundray: no. Didn't even think they had documentation about it
[02:14] <amenado> jacob_linux-> you have to be logged on it before you can modify things to allow as second remote logon
[02:14] <AnimatedBox> soundray: checking that out
[02:14] <__yy_> Chad: there's an option to "use all available free space" ... why don't you use that?
[02:14] <davemcnamara> Kyncani: whatever came with the latest release doesn't seem to.  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro#Wireless tells me how if I could connect from Ubunto already
[02:14] <insta> soundray: thanks for the help my printer now works over the network.
[02:14] <Chad> and my mount point should be?
[02:14] <kyncani> davemcnamara: if that's so, then you could the latest ubuntu's intrepid alpha and see from the livecd if it works or not. If it does not and there is no howto of some such on the web, then you're outta luck.
[02:14] <Chad> Boot?
[02:14] <Odd-rationale> Chad: /
[02:15] <soundray> !yay | insta
[02:15] <Magno182002> hey good night, hum has any fix to sound in more than one apps. example if i use audacity, any other player off music n video dont has sound, anyone has any tip i ve tried sound server but doesn't work;
[02:15] <kyncani> davemcnamara: (checking your link)
[02:15] <insta> soundray: it was a cannon mx700 I need to compile support for its network protocal
[02:15] <davemcnamara> Kyncani: Okay, thank you.
[02:15] <Rolaulten> Good evening, Seems like I am having some strange wireless issues with my Ubuntu install...best I can see I have the drivers loaded, however it does not seem like any packets are being sent from my PC to the router....and yet I know the network is running because I am able to read this IRC on a different PC
[02:15] <Chad> Odd-rationale: my mount point should be /
[02:15] <jacob_linux> amenado are you sure? take another look. IDK
[02:15] <insta> is there any way i can get this in to a package for the repositories?
[02:15] <bazhang> Magno182002, audacity the editor? or do you mean audacious
[02:15] <soundray> insta: I have a Canon -- will never get another
[02:15] <Odd-rationale> Chad: correct.
[02:16] <insta> soundray: it works perfect now
[02:16] <amenado> Jacob_linux yep am very sure
[02:16] <Magno182002> audacity too other app has same prob iff i use flash video no other app ll has sound
[02:16] <soundray> insta: it's worth filing a bug report
[02:16] <__yy_> Rolaulten: can you ping the not working box from the pc you're on now?
[02:16] <Chad> Odd-rationale: and this will still allow me to be able to boot windows from the windows partition when i want, right?
[02:16] <joshua__> can someone help me please
[02:16] <Blaqlight> !ask
[02:16] <bazhang> joshua__, with compiz?
[02:16] <joshua__> i enabled visual effects on gnome and now i cant move windows around or close them
[02:16] <soundray> !bugs > insta
[02:16] <joshua__> yes
[02:17] <bazhang> #compiz-fusion joshua__
[02:17] <Odd-rationale> Chad: yes. ubuntu should detect the windows partition.
[02:17] <St-Lemur> Blaqlight: In fact, I'm going to have to reboot now, as I can't get up a terminal window. BIAM.
[02:17] <Odd-rationale> Chad: make sure that you set the windows partition to not be formatted...
[02:17] <Chad> Odd-rationale: ok well here i go O_O wish me luck
[02:17] <Rolaulten> _yy_: no, I do not know its network IP...
[02:17] <soundray> joshua__: try Alt-F2 metacity --replace
[02:18] <_TRJkiller_> hi
[02:18] <Chad> Odd-rationale: actually one more question. what should my location for my new partition be, beggining or end?
[02:18] <Magno182002> bazhang: ﻿sorry iff u dont see this is here "audacity too other app has same prob iff i use flash video no other app ll has sound"
[02:18] <joshua__> where? in console?
[02:18] <soundray> joshua__: Alt-F2
[02:18] <Odd-rationale> Chad: biggining.
[02:18] <__yy_> Rolaulten: run ifconfig on the unworking machine and check its ip then.
[02:18] <Chad> Odd-rationale: ok thanks
[02:18] <soundray> joshua__: or in terminal if you prefer
[02:18] <joshua__> what do i type in terminal?
[02:18] <AnimatedBox> hm. What's the command to see what device my OS is installed on?
[02:19] <Rolaulten> _yy_: will do, seems like I cant even load terminal up...let me just reboot this box real fast...
[02:19] <joshua__> the alt f2 doens twork
[02:19] <Moonlight_Shadow> Can I install windows + backtrack + ubuntu   dual boot ?
[02:19] <soundray> joshua__: metacity --replace
[02:19] <Moonlight_Shadow> on the same PC
[02:19] <__yy_> Rolaulten: can't open a terminal? That bodes worse than network problems...
[02:19] <rockenrola1> AnimatedBox: try df -h
[02:19] <joshua__> that worked thanks
[02:19] <Chad> Odd-rationale: it gave me a message saying i should select a partition as swap space, how do i do that, and why do i need to do that?
[02:19] <joshua__> what does that mean?
[02:19] <Rolaulten> _yy_: Yea...lets see if that goes away with a reboot
[02:19] <guyzmo> dammit
[02:20] <Odd-rationale> Chad: do you have more free space?
[02:20] <guyzmo> it's now asking me a PIN to pair with my mouse -_-
[02:20] <bazhang> joshua__, you just shut off compiz
[02:20] <soundray> joshua__: it disables compiz by replacing it with metacity (the non-effect window manager)
[02:20] <Chad> Odd-rationale: no i just used the entire thing for the partition
[02:20] <soundray> Moonlight_Shadow: backtrack?
[02:20] <_TRJkiller_> Hello
[02:20] <Odd-rationale> Chad: ok. go back and make it a bit smaller...
[02:20] <tyler__> how do i view usb ports?? in ubuntu???
[02:20] <joshua__> why doesnt compiz work though?
[02:20] <Moonlight_Shadow> yes soundray
[02:20] <Odd-rationale> Chad: how much ram do you have?
[02:20] <glitsj16> Magno182002: it is a bit of a read, but http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4928900 and http://www.pulseaudio.org/wiki/PerfectSetup have solutions for both issues (install the libportaudio2 for audacity and do the other pulseaudio configurations)
[02:20] <joshua__> cant i have compiz and also this?
[02:20] <soundray> Moonlight_Shadow: what is it?
[02:21] <Chad> Odd-rationale: 1 gig, so like leave 5 gigs of free space?
[02:21] <Odd-rationale> Chad: 2 gb will be sufficient.
[02:21] <Moonlight_Shadow> soundray  http://www.remote-exploit.org/backtrack.html
[02:21] <Moonlight_Shadow> !!
[02:21] <Odd-rationale> Chad: generally, swap == 2*ram
[02:21] <St-Lemur> re.
[02:21] <Chad> Odd-rationale: ok and with that 2 gb should i create another partition?
[02:21] <rockenrola1> tyler__: try in the terminal lsusb
[02:21] <soundray> joshua__: try compiz --replace -- maybe restarting fixes the problem
[02:21] <Odd-rationale> Chad: yes. select use as swap.
[02:21] <Odd-rationale> Chad: for the partition type
[02:22] <Cybergeek|Vista> hi,
[02:22] <soundray> Moonlight_Shadow: so you want to triple-boot?
[02:22] <bobertdos> ﻿_TRJkiller_, if you have a question, just ask. Don't wait for people to respond.
[02:22] <_TRJkiller_> Can someone say me what are Ubunto?
[02:22] <Cybergeek|Vista> i judst setup ubuntu
[02:22] <Odd-rationale> !ubuntu | tranqy
[02:22] <Cybergeek|Vista> on my computer
[02:22] <joshua__> nope
[02:22] <Moonlight_Shadow> yes soundray
[02:22] <Magno182002> glitsj16:  i ve tried other day the pulse but isn't works i ll try with ur tuto today ty
[02:22] <Odd-rationale> whoops
[02:22] <Cybergeek|Vista> now  i need a wifi on it
[02:22] <Cybergeek|Vista> usb wifi adapter
[02:22] <Odd-rationale> !ubuntu | _TRJkiller_
[02:22] <_TRJkiller_> I come from pennergame and have the this channel^^
[02:22] <Moonlight_Shadow> Moonlight_Shadow Grub will detect Win+backtrack+ubuntu automaticelly ?
[02:23] <Moonlight_Shadow> soundray
[02:23] <tyler__> rockenrola1: thank you
[02:23] <Odd-rationale> Chad: got that?
[02:23] <_TRJkiller_> Rahnks ubottu
[02:23] <Cybergeek|Vista> now  i need a wifi on it
[02:23] <Cybergeek|Vista> usb wifi adapter
[02:23] <soundray> Moonlight_Shadow: it can be done. Best to install Ubuntu last, as its boot manager will likely make all three accessible
[02:23] <_TRJkiller_> ThanKS*
[02:23] <Cybergeek|Vista> any ideas?
[02:23] <Odd-rationale> !thanks | _TRJkiller_
[02:23] <Chad> Odd-rationale: ok i just remade my free space into a partition now there is a tiny bit over 2 gigs of free space, I am now ready to make that a swap area partition, correct?
[02:23] <Odd-rationale> Chad: yes
[02:23] <glitsj16> Magno182002: take the ubuntu forum guide as a starting point, the pulseaudio wiki has a few extra tips for specific sound apps and gives you a general idea on how it all ties together
[02:23] <bobertdos> !wireless | ﻿Cybergeek|Vista

[02:24] <edz> anyone know how to install audio codecs / video codecs in new ubuntu?

[02:24] <Moonlight_Shadow> thanks
[02:24] <ethana2> i'm having some trouble getting flash 10 working, and nobody on ##flash is saying anything
[02:24] <Cybergeek|Vista> usb
[02:24] <ethana2> i can't get any sound out of it
[02:24] <soundray> Moonlight_Shadow: take care when partitioning. It's best to have the first partition as a primary for Windows. Make the other ones logical partitions.
[02:24] <Chad> Odd-rationale: what mount point do i make my swap area partition?
[02:25] <AnimatedBox> rockenrola1: thanks
[02:25] <AnimatedBox> soundray: no luck. Any other ideas?
[02:25] <bobertdos> ﻿ethana2, are you running 32 or 64-bit?
[02:25] <ethana2> 32
[02:25] <Odd-rationale> Chad: don't select a mount point. for partition type, select use as swap
[02:25] <bobertdos> ﻿ethana2: Alright, and you've installed version 10 beta 2?
[02:26] <Rolaulten> _yy_: Ok, got it up, and not its just takeing forever to login to my wireless network...had to do a cold boot cause  the shutdown gui did not load
[02:26] <ethana2> yes, i think so
[02:26] <Chad> Odd-rationale: ok so i have the partition type set as swap area and the mount point set and blank, also should it be beginning or end?
[02:26] <Odd-rationale> Chad: beggining
[02:26] <troythetechguy_> I'm still fighting with my display on a new install of 8.04.  I installed Envy and Envy installed the correct driver for my video card (Nvidia GeForce 6100).  I then ran Nvidia-settings and adjusted my refresh rate to 60 HZ (15" LCD), but the screen still appears really bright, and adjusting the brightness does not make much of a difference.  Ideas?  Suggestions?
[02:26] <bobertdos> ﻿ethana2: Let's make sure. Go into Firefox and type about:plugins
[02:26] <Moonlight_Shadow> soundray I have already installed Win on the fisrt partition (hda1) and BT on hda7
[02:26] <Chad> Odd-rationale: how about primary or logical?
[02:26] <ethana2> k
[02:26] <Odd-rationale> Chad: logical
[02:26] <ethana2> Shockwave Flash File name:  libflashplayer.so Shockwave Flash 10.0.0 d525
[02:27] <soundray> Moonlight_Shadow: have you still got space?
[02:27] <Chad> Odd-rationale: but my linux partition should be primary right?
[02:27] <Odd-rationale> Chad: yes
[02:27] <soundray> Chad: doesn't matter
[02:27] <bobertdos> ﻿ethana2: Does sound work with other programs?
[02:28] <histo> test
[02:28] <Rolaulten> _yy_: scrap that, its not even loging onto my network at all now
[02:28] <soundray> histo: failed
[02:28] <Odd-rationale> Chad: also, make sure you turn on the boot flag for the / partition
[02:28] <Chad> Odd-rationale: boot flag?
[02:28] <ethana2> bobertdos: yes
[02:28] <ethana2> bobertdos: everything but skype ;)
[02:28] <Chad> Odd-rationale: whats that and how do i turn it on?
[02:28] <Moonlight_Shadow> soundray : how mush I must have to install Ubuntu ?
[02:29] <bizthepirate> So I just installed the Hardy 8.04.1, as a brand new install... is there any reason my mouse is being over sensitive, and how can I correct it?
[02:29] <Odd-rationale> Chad: on the setting for the / partiton look for a boot flag settings...
[02:29] <bobertdos> ﻿ethana2: alright.........Did you just use the installer to do it?
[02:29] <Cybergeek|Vista> i just installed hardy and i need to use wifi through a USB adapter
[02:29] <Cybergeek|Vista> any ideas?
[02:29] <ethana2> bobertdos: yes
[02:29] <soundray> Moonlight_Shadow: 2GB minimum, plus swap. Give it 8GB if you can
[02:30] <bobertdos> ﻿ethana2: and firefox was in /usr/lib/firefox-3.0? (or something similar)
[02:30] <soundray> !wifi > Cybergeek|Vista
[02:30] <ethana2> i'll check
[02:30] <Cybergeek|Vista> ok
[02:30] <Cybergeek|Vista> ummm
[02:30] <Cybergeek|Vista> its Dynex
[02:30] <gfunk> greetings all
[02:30] <Cybergeek|Vista> :x
[02:31] <ethana2> yes, firefox is in /usr/lib/firefox-3.0
[02:31] <Moonlight_Shadow> soundray   4GB  I can ?
[02:31] <bobertdos> alright..........Are you using OSS or Alsa for audio?
[02:31] <ethana2> pulseaudio
[02:31] <ethana2> via alsa
[02:31] <soundray> Moonlight_Shadow: you won't have much room to play, but it'll fit
[02:32] <bobertdos> hmm.............
[02:32] <gfunk> If i may jump in with a question for a moment.. what is a good resource for getting drivers for my HP laptop on ubuntu?
[02:32] <bobertdos> ﻿ethana2: Do you have any other versions of flash or gnash installed?
[02:32] <ethana2> i think i removed them
[02:33] <jpastore> is this the right place to ask about java not working properly in firefox 3 on hardy 64bit?
[02:33] <creepshow> .
[02:33] <soundray> gfunk: Ubuntu should come with everything you need.
[02:33] <bobertdos> ﻿ethana2: You might want to look in about:plugins again just to be sure.
[02:33] <ethana2> k
[02:33] <ethana2> wait, what the
[02:33] <ethana2> futuresplash player?
[02:34] <kevinO> why do i have to adjust my monitor every time i get to login, or desktop? its like i keep going in cicles. hardy installed with a weird resolution 1280x768, i changed my desktop resolution back to 1024x768, but the login i think is still 1280x768
[02:34] <ethana2> application/x-shockwave-flash Shockwave Flash swf Yes   application/futuresplash FutureSplash Player spl Yes
[02:34] <Chad> Odd-rationale, sorry but i cannot find the option for the / mount point, am i in the right place, I'm in the manual partition window in the ubuntu installer
[02:34] <keta> how do open the GUI version of gconftool
[02:34] <Odd-rationale> Chad: well, it shoulc be on by default... iirc...
[02:34] <atomkmngz> anyone here, fairly savy with Ip route 2 and lartc techniques in general?
[02:34] <ethana2> gconf-editor
[02:34] <soundray> kevinO: configure it with 'gksudo displayconfig-gtk'
[02:34] <Odd-rationale> Chad: i'll be right back
[02:35] <Moonlight_Shadow> oky thanks soundray
[02:35] <Chad> Odd-rationale, oh ok so I should be ready to install then, oh ok i'll wait
[02:35] <ethana2> has anyone here like, reverted from PA to alsa?
[02:35] <keta> ty ethana2
[02:35] <ethana2> keta: np
[02:36] <will00> i set up a server using gproftpd, and locally i can download files at 2+ mb/s but when i use other networks, it slows to only a few dozen kb a second. is this an internet connection issue or is this a problem with my server config?
[02:37] <gfunk> im not finding drivers for my wireless and video, and I do not know where to look for them.
[02:38] <remu> hey guys, does anyone have an ETA on when emesene 1.0.1 will be made available in the repos?
[02:38] <kevinO> soundray, i used that and did a test, it went to an X window with a dialogue box asking if i wanted to accept, no right?
[02:38] <glitsj16> ethana2: you might want to look at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4928900 .. part A in particular on how to (check/setup) your pulseaudio configuration .. works fine here (with the same flash 10 beta 2)
[02:38] <soundray> gfunk: for video, check System-Administration-Hardware Drivers. For wireless, check out the factoid
[02:38] <soundray> !wifi > gfunk
[02:39] <ethana2> thanks
[02:39] <Odd-rationale> Chad: ok i'm back...
[02:39] <rockenrola1> will00: probably a internet thing
[02:39] <soundray> kevinO: if it worked, then accept of course
[02:39] <will00> rockenrola1, would nat help at all?
[02:40] <Chad> Odd-rationale: ok so you said i need to change some type of boot option on my / mount point partition, I don't understand how to change this option, I'm currently in the manual partition setup window of the ubuntu installer.
[02:40] <kevinO> soundray, but its an X window, all grey  with the bleck crosshatches
[02:40] <gfunk> thanks soundray
[02:40] <rockenrola1> will00: yes. explore that
[02:40] <Odd-rationale> Chad: it shoucl be default. i just wanted to double check. if you cannont find it. just continue.
[02:41] <will00> rockenrola1 ok thanks
[02:41] <soundray> kevinO: did you start it from a console?
[02:41] <Chad> Odd-rationale: ok well i guees i'll go to the next step of the install
[02:42] <kevinO> soundray, yes
[02:43] <soundray> kevinO: do you get a dialog for configuring your monitor?
[02:43] <Chad> Odd-rationale: It's now installing on the system, I really appreciate all your help, sorry for all the questions, i just wanted to get it right the first time.
[02:44] <Odd-rationale> Chad: np
[02:44] <marcu1> i am having issues getting a kvm switch to work with ubuntu
[02:44] <kevinO> soundray, yes, then i select the resolution.. which is already set right, then click test... the screen flickers, the ubuntu theme dissapears, there is a greyish black background, with a dialogue box asking to accept or cancel.
[02:45] <soundray> kevinO: then accept
[02:45] <kevinO> soundray, iirc the last time i did a test, it showed the ubuntu desktop in the new resolution and then i co'uld accept
[02:45] <kevinO> soundray, so to me this seems like bad settings
[02:46] <soundray> kevinO: if you started from a text console, it cannot show you the gnome desktop. It's safe to accept the settings -- you can always call the program again
[02:46] <ethana2> thanks, glitsj16
[02:46] <kevinO> soundray, and the mouse turns into a big black X
[02:47] <soundray> kevinO: that's fine
[02:47] <soundray> kevinO: that's the default cursor in the absence of a window manager
[02:47] <marcu1> can anyone help me get my kvm switch working with ubuntu?
[02:48] <l1f7s0s9> wutsup
[02:49] <kevinO> soundray the login screen is still the wrong resolution
[02:49] <l1f7s0s9> kakalake
[02:49] <soundray> kevinO: then you haven't picked the right one in the dialog, or you haven't saved the settings properly
[02:50] <Anowarul-Kabir> windows is the best
[02:50] <Anowarul-Kabir> OS
[02:50] <marcu1> fraid not
[02:50] <l1f7s0s9> haha fuck you
[02:50] <mjponce> sado!
[02:50] <l1f7s0s9> linux is the best;)
[02:50] <heavy27> join/  ubuntu-es
[02:50] <soundray> l1f7s0s9: please use professional language here, and don't feed trolls
[02:50] <l1f7s0s9> ok:D
[02:50] <l1f7s0s9> who know another
[02:51] <l1f7s0s9> channel of linux?
[02:51] <Anowarul-Kabir> let me tell you why windows is better
[02:51] <Anowarul-Kabir> windows helps you make money
[02:51] <Moonlight_Shadow> soundray am I obliged to make a swap partition ?
[02:51] <Anowarul-Kabir> linux doesn't
[02:51] <soundray> Anowarul-Kabir: this is a support channel. You're welcome to discuss this in #ubuntu-offtopic
[02:51] <mjponce> please stop trolling
[02:51] <soundray> Moonlight_Shadow: no. It's safer, but not strictly necessary
[02:52] <Moonlight_Shadow> oky
[02:52] <kevinO> soundray someone sent me to a link earlier to fix the screen resolution and i ran the commands to have it autodetect the monitor again. since then the login screen and desktop have had different rez'z
[02:53] <marcu1> can anyone help me with a kvm issue?
[02:53] <Jack_Sparrow> marcu1 kvm switch should work without issue other than the wheel on your mouse
[02:53] <genii> Jack_Sparrow: Damn. I was waiting in -offtopic to debate him... and other also I imagine
[02:53] <genii> *others
[02:53] <PoopinClumpin> anyone can tell me why my audio and video are always out of sync when playing back 720p .mkv with ubuntu? it works fine in XP
[02:53] <marcu1> i get no keyboard or mouse, im using a raritan switchman usb
[02:54] <bobertdos> ﻿PoopinClumpin: The problem is probably a combination of the player and codecs being used.
[02:54] <PoopinClumpin> i'm just using ffdshow and several different players
[02:54] <PoopinClumpin> always same problems
[02:54] <Jack_Sparrow> genii He can still join ot
[02:55] <Jack_Sparrow> marcu1 All of mine work, but none are usb.
[02:55] <bobertdos> ﻿PoopinClumpin: I personally find either VLC, or Totem-xine (using the xine libraries of course) to be more reliable.
[02:56] <PoopinClumpin> i'll give VLC a try then
[02:56] <oc80z> is /lib/modules/2.6,24-powerpc/volitilememory <--- is that my swap in ubuntu?
[02:56] <oc80z> VLC is for the win.
[02:56] <kevinO> soundray, i save those options over and over again and it does not change the login resolution
[02:56] <genii> oc80z: No
[02:56] <xtknight> oc80z, your swap files are listed in the "/proc/swaps" file.  "cat /proc/swaps"
[02:56] <oc80z> Yikes
[02:57] <oc80z> Thanks xtknight
[02:57] <oc80z> I am trying to suspend my ibook g4 to memory or swap..
[02:57] <xtknight> hmm i'm not sure how that works
[02:57] <Anon6838> Does anyone know where i can find help on having a dual boot with vista and ubuntu ?
[02:57] <bobertdos> ﻿oc80z: volatile memory is ram, just fyi :)
[02:57] <xtknight> oc80z,  you need your swap to be at least the size of your physical RAM and whatever else may have been paged.  so maybe 1.25x as much physical RAM as a minimum
[02:57] <oc80z> Yeah
[02:57] <oc80z> Uh huh.
[02:58] <oc80z> ]
[02:58] <oc80z> uswsusp - tools to use userspace software suspend provided by Linux
[02:58] <insta> what is the option in compiz that slides windows under each other when chaning focus..
[02:58] <oc80z> ^-- tried to use that.. but it said i had no swap
[02:58] <xtknight> oc80z, use the swapon command
[02:58] <oc80z> i dont see /dev/hda4 mounted! Yikes
[02:58]  * oc80z has the ram, but u know, yikes.
[02:58] <bobertdos> !dualboot |﻿ Anon6838
[02:58] <oc80z> yup i remember that from Corel linux hah
[02:59] <oc80z> Wow, its busy.

[02:59] <oc80z> bobertdos, i dont dual boot, i nuked macos, its weak compared to ubuntu
[03:00] <kevinO> how do i change the login screen resolution?
[03:00] <sfire> oc80z: I'm going to frame that statement for all mac users to see :)  thanks
[03:00] <oc80z> can someone paste a line where /etc/fstab mounts swap file
[03:00] <bobertdos> ﻿oc80z: I wasn't directing the bot to you, but yeah, I agree with you anyway :)
[03:01] <oc80z> sfire: its out of context sfire. its a 800mhz ibook g4
[03:01] <oc80z> if i had the hardware.. i would be running, dunno, mac and linux and windows at the same time or somthing.
[03:01] <sfire> oc80z: no one has to know that
[03:01] <sfire> oc80z: I'll PM you the fstab entry

[03:08] <xtknight> !pt | Guest57094
[03:08] <annie_g> I have a file I downloaded and can't find - I know the extension is a " .iso " file - what's best way to search for it?
[03:08] <Chad> No i do not arrive at grub loader
[03:08] <oc80z> Guest57094, i can help translate for you
[03:09] <SebNaitsabes> bobertdos:  he is total Linux noob and also plays 3D games,  and so probably would be better having Ubuntu in a virtual machine to begin with
[03:09] <Chad> it just gives an windows error saying some file not found
[03:09] <Killer--Tux> what up you'll all
[03:09] <Chad> but i'm not booting windows i'm booting ubuntu
[03:09] <oc80z> Guest57094: "" When where will there be software to make the HP 1015 function?
[03:09] <bobertdos> ﻿SebNaitsabes: hee hee, I know

[03:09] <RazorBeamz> how do you change the color of non-selected items in the appearance settings?
[03:09] <oc80z> Guest57094, Cual es el problema?
[03:10] <gaspipe1> hey people
[03:10] <Guest57094> Thanks / Obrigado
[03:10] <xtknight> RazorBeamz, you have to edit a file called gtkrc
[03:10] <SebNaitsabes> Chad:  this is what you should do
[03:10] <RazorBeamz> where is it?
[03:10] <SebNaitsabes> Chad:  forget about Wubi, forget about Grub,  forget about partitioning your hard disk
[03:10] <oc80z> does anyone speak Portuguese better than i?
[03:10] <Chad> SebNaitsabes, so i have ubuntu installed on 1 partition and windows xp on another, when i boot up my comp it says dos not found
[03:10] <xtknight> RazorBeamz, .gtkrc is a file in the current theme you are using.  that might in /usr/share/themes/themeName/  or ~/.themes/theneName/
[03:10] <SebNaitsabes> Chad:  install Ubuntu inside Windows in a http://www.virtualbox.org virtualmachine instead
[03:11] <xtknight> and it's in gtk-2.0/gtkrc from there
[03:11] <SebNaitsabes> Chad: you also play 3D games yes,  and quite a lot of them?
[03:11] <rockenrola1> oc80z: thats not portuguese
[03:11] <Chad> sebnaitsabes, i already have it installed on a partition i just don't know how to boot it from that partition
[03:11] <Tonren> I have a laptop with Ubuntu on it, and it keeps sending Right Arrow keypresses.  Even when I hit Ctrl + Alt + F1 to go to terminal, it does the whole C] thing.
[03:11] <Chad> sebnaitsabes, i play a few not many though and the ones i do play are opengl and will work on linux
[03:11] <Tonren> Could this be a hardware problem?
[03:11] <SebNaitsabes> Chad:  ok so your computer turns on now,  and Grub comes up straight away?
[03:11] <oc80z> rockenrola1, yes it is. thats what it sounds like. because they say Fazer , for, to make.
[03:12] <Jack_Sparrow> Chad Open a term and paste this...  sudo apt-get install pastebinit  && cp /etc/fstab ~/Desktop/Partition_Layout.txt && sudo fdisk -l >> ~/Desktop/Partition_Layout.txt && cat /boot/grub/menu.lst >> ~/Desktop/Partition_Layout.txt && lsb_release -a >> ~/Desktop/Partition_Layout.txt && cat /home/$USER/Desktop/Partition_Layout.txt | pastebinit                 (Provide Pastebin link in channel)

[03:13] <Chad> sebnaitsabes, don't worry about the games, I'm trying to figure out why when i start my comp it says dos not found rebooting in 3,2,1
[03:13] <rockenrola1> oc80z: no. "Cual es el problema?" should be "Qual é o problema?"
[03:13] <squarebracket> grr, nvidia drivers!

[03:16] <biabia> the file-roller unrar'd it but when i try to burn i get an error so i'm trying to unrar in terminal

[03:16] <squarebracket> where are the logs for X located?
[03:16] <SebNaitsabes> Chad:  you need to open the terminal on the Live CD
[03:16] <Chad> sebnaitsabes, i am read what he told me to paste in it

[03:17] <blUbuntu> when copying files burnt to a dvd/cd from windows using nero i had downloaded the files have a lock icon what is it and how do i remove it and all
[03:18] <vaylence> anyone know why when I get to the partition portion of the install I get no options?
[03:18] <SebNaitsabes> Jack_Sparrow:  I guess Chad does not have the repo on?
[03:18] <Jack_Sparrow> vaylence To get live cd to run this often helps..At start or install press F6 and remove Quiet and Splash from the command line. If it still fails.. Repeat and after removing quiet and splash add all_generic_ide before the "--"
[03:18] <bobertdos> ﻿blUbuntu: What that means is that the files have been copied over as read-only. You can take care of that by adding write permissions.
[03:19] <Chad> sebnaitsabes, yeah i have no idea what happened i start my comp then it says dos not found rebooting
[03:19] <NeedEpsonHelp> My printer now works so I am off to print assignments for college. Thanks for the help and take care. I'm very grateful.
[03:19] <Odd-rationale> Chad: so no luck with that install?
[03:19] <Jack_Sparrow> SebNaitsabes I dont have time, please have him do it manually, you know what we are looking for
[03:19] <SebNaitsabes> Chad: so you cannot boot into Ubuntu or Windows?
[03:19]  * Odd-rationale has just finished dinner...
[03:19] <Chad> Odd-rationale: well it was installing then my computer randomly rebooted
[03:19] <bchapman> blUbuntu: right click on the locked file, click properties, look at permissions tab
[03:19] <edz> does anyone know if the drivers on nvidia.com are better than the built in ones with ubuntu?
[03:19] <blUbuntu> o ok thats fine then i dont need to edit them and all they are just all my pictures and songs
[03:19] <blUbuntu> ty
[03:19] <Chad> Odd-rationale: so i thought maybe it has to reboot to install
[03:19] <Odd-rationale> Chad: so it didn't finish installing?
[03:19] <SebNaitsabes> Jack_Sparrow: ah right yeah busy mod?
[03:19] <rockenrola1> Guest57094: are you there ?
[03:19] <Chad> Odd-rationale: it started to reboot then it said dos not found
[03:20] <Jack_Sparrow> edz Best to stay with the ubuntu ones..
[03:20] <Odd-rationale> Chad: no, it should only reboot when it is done...
[03:20] <Shadowpillar> question
[03:20] <rubengonc> edz, they are the same (version may be different)
[03:20] <Shadowpillar> anything to do with activedirectory under linux
[03:20] <Chad> Odd-rationale: maybe it was done but when i select boot from hard drive then ubuntu using the ubuntu cd it won't load
[03:20] <Shadowpillar> on multiple machines
[03:20] <Shadowpillar> I cant seem to connect
[03:20] <rubengonc> edz, use -envy ones to get the latest
[03:20] <Shadowpillar> either get firewall errors or whatnot
[03:20] <Chad> Odd-rationale: so now what do i do :|
[03:20] <blUbuntu> u guys are awesome thank you
[03:20] <Shadowpillar> and whatnot*
[03:20] <kevinO> what driver should i be using with intel 945?
[03:20] <Shadowpillar> when there is no firewall
[03:20] <evon> does anyone know what debathena is?
[03:21] <oc80z> sounds like a diesease
[03:21] <Shadowpillar> DNS settings are correct (though only way it seems to work is if I add "wins" to nsswitch.conf
[03:21] <bobertdos> Yeah, like Jack says, stick with Ubuntu, edz. The ones from Nvidia are only necessary if you have a card that is so new, Ubuntu has no support for it yet.
[03:21] <Odd-rationale> Chad: are you booting from cd or hard drive?
[03:21] <vaylence> Jack_Sparrow: little confused, press F6 on the "welcome, ready to install" screen?
[03:21] <rubengonc> edz, and as they use dkms, they are automatically rebuilt for new kernels
[03:21] <Shadowpillar> this is using likewise-open
[03:21] <edz> rubengonc: how do i know if i have the envy one...
[03:21] <edz> i think i have the envy ones
[03:21] <Chad> odd-rationale right now im running ubuntu from the live cd option
[03:21] <edz> im not sure
[03:21] <Shadowpillar> anyone know why connecting to activedirectory in 8.04 such a pain?
[03:21] <squarebracket> anybody feel like helping me with an X / nvidia problem?
[03:21] <talntid> http://flickr.com/photos/26810211@N06/2688256017/sizes/o/
[03:21] <talntid> lol.
[03:21] <rubengonc> edz, well, if you didnt install them youu dont have them
[03:21] <SebNaitsabes> edz:  sudo apt-get intsall envyng-core
[03:21] <Chad> Odd-rationale: because when i boot ubuntu from hard drive it gives me a windows error?
[03:21] <SebNaitsabes> !envyng-core
[03:21] <Odd-rationale> Chad: reboot. and take the cd out.
[03:21] <oc80z> anyone use Suspend2 (Tux on Ice)
[03:21] <SebNaitsabes> info envyng-core
[03:22] <SebNaitsabes> !info envyng-core
[03:22] <Odd-rationale> Chad: i mean. shutdown. take the cd out. then turn on...
[03:22] <SebNaitsabes> edz:  sudo apt-get install envyng-gtk  and  then install the drivers with that
[03:22] <Chad> Odd-rationale: yeah but when i do that is just gives me a an error saying dos not found reoobitng
[03:22] <Jack_Sparrow> Shadowpillar http://www.securityfocus.com/infocus/1563             may have helpful info

[03:22] <SebNaitsabes> Chad:  ok so Windows and Ubuntu will not boot now?
[03:23] <Odd-rationale> Chad: your windows is xp or vista?
[03:23] <blUbuntu> are there free e-books i can read up on ubuntu to get my knowledge of it as good as my knowledge of windows
[03:23] <Chad> sebnaitsabes, windows will but only if i put the ubuntu cd in the go boot from har ddrive then select windows xp from os list
[03:23] <Odd-rationale> blUbuntu: the wiki

[03:23] <Odd-rationale> Chad: i would try to reinstall grub and see if that fixes it...
[03:24] <Chad> Odd-rationale: how do i do that?
[03:24] <rubengonc> blUbuntu, ubuntu/debian related?

[03:26] <squarebracket> if i'm running a media+web server, should i run the server kernel?
[03:26] <SebNaitsabes> Chad:   have you got a Windows CD?
[03:26] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[03:26] <rubengonc> blUbuntu, gnome/kde its a personal choice, both are quite good
[03:27] <blUbuntu> right i am quite fond of KDE from other distributions i have tried
[03:27] <Chad> Odd-rationale: how do i reinstall grub?
[03:27] <charIie>  Would anyone be able to help me trouble shoot why ath_hal, ath_pci and wlan modules do not load on boot?
[03:27] <Chad> sebnaitsabes, yeah i do
[03:27] <Odd-rationale> Chad: when you get to the partition step. post a screenshot of the setup... you can use http://imagebin.ca
[03:27] <SebNaitsabes> Chad:  good
[03:27] <will01> im looking to play music over an html page, what would be the easiest way of doing that/
[03:27] <Azur3> Hi, I'm running Ubuntu 8.04 dualbooting with Win Vista, I was testing linux on my laptop before installing it to my desktop
[03:27] <Chad> Odd-rationale: ok
[03:27] <rubengonc> blUbuntu, if you installed Ubuntu (not kubuntu) you can imstall kubuntu-desktop package to have full kde
[03:27] <Azur3> I'd like to uninstall Ubuntu from my laptop now and don't really know what to do
[03:28] <Odd-rationale> Chad: the livecd should have a screen shot utility...
[03:28] <orionr> What is the java package for ubuntu?
[03:28] <SebNaitsabes> Chad:  at the moment your boot loader is screwed up Windows can fix that and go over Grub and then Windows will boot at least
[03:28] <Odd-rationale> !java | orionr
[03:28] <glitsj16> will01: a simple a href with an mp3 link ?
[03:28] <SebNaitsabes> Chad:  the windows cd can do that
[03:28] <blUbuntu> o ok
[03:28] <squarebracket> Azur3, what do you mean from your laptop?
[03:28] <rubengonc> Azur3, just delete the partition and use a windows install cd to rebuild mbr
[03:28] <will01> glitsj16 would that work over the internet as well as locally?
[03:28] <Azur3> how do i delete the partition?
[03:29] <dphus> does anyone know a good channel for svn discussions (i'm new to freenode)
[03:29] <blUbuntu> things are so much like mac it is so easy to come from my macbook and know how to use this
[03:29] <edz> you gotta repair the windows
[03:29] <edz> mbrfix
[03:29] <SebNaitsabes> Azur3: which partition?
[03:29] <Pici> dphus: #svn
[03:29] <Azur3> the Ubuntu, I'm going to use my laptop for windows, and a desktop for ubuntu
[03:29] <instabin> when i install a tar.gz theme it does not show up in the appearence manager
[03:29] <rubengonc> Azur3, well i think you can do that from windows
[03:30] <Azur3> my laptop has problems since I upgraded to 8.04, as i have to pull out the battery when I shut down or it just stays til the battery goes out
[03:30] <SebNaitsabes> Azur3: you can open up partition program and delete partitions that you want to delete
[03:30]  * guyzmo makes a prayer so anyone will answer to my bug
[03:30] <masood> hi everyone
[03:30] <SebNaitsabes> Azur3:  what are you using now?
[03:30] <Azur3> ok, I didnt' know if I had to do anything from the linux side
[03:30] <glitsj16> will01: if your server is speedy enough sure
[03:30] <Azur3> I'm in Ubuntu
[03:30] <Chad> Odd-rationale: it shows iun my partition window the ubuntu is already installed on my second partition
[03:30] <will01> ok
[03:30] <guyzmo> dear lord computer make my keyboard and mouse work and be happy in happyland of coconut linux
[03:30] <Azur3> so I'm going to take out the battery to get back into windows then
[03:30] <oc80z> Azur3, listen, just power down, once X closes and it scrolls a bit, just hold the powerbutton to power it off.
[03:30] <SebNaitsabes> Azur3:  well you can't delete Ubuntu when your in an Ubuntu install you can delete Vista though.  if your on an Ubuntu Live CD you can delete both
[03:30] <evilbug> how is it that after i install xubuntu and reboot, i get a No Bootable Device error?
[03:31] <masood> is there any irc channel for encryption and security for ubuntu (or linux in general)?
[03:31] <oc80z> yeah masood its irc.2600.net #2600
[03:31] <SebNaitsabes> no, but there is #security
[03:31] <SebNaitsabes> and #linux
[03:31] <oc80z> and #openvpn
[03:31] <Odd-rationale> Chad: could you post a screen shot?
[03:31] <oc80z> :P
[03:31] <Azur3> ok, so if I load up windows I can use the tool that i used to partition my hdd for when I installed linux?
[03:31] <SebNaitsabes> which tool?
[03:31] <chris_gr> hi..Is it possible to restore a backup with partimage from a bootable harddrive?i mean to boot the HDD and restore a windose partition on that HDD.Single HDD system
[03:31] <rubengonc> Azur3, right
[03:32] <QuarterLife-Ubun> Hey all.
[03:32] <glitsj16> evilbug: anything in your logs to start looking for clues as to why it does that ?
[03:32] <masood> ok.. i'll try them out now .. thanks ;)
[03:32] <Chad> Odd-rationale: http://imagebin.ca/view/tkgAih.html
[03:32] <rubengonc> Azur3, something like aprtition magic or something
[03:32] <SebNaitsabes> chris_gr:  try #windows
[03:32] <QuarterLife-Ubun> Has anyone fixed Steam friends in wine yet?
[03:32] <strixv> Is there a way to list a directory's contents ("ls") and have it show the directories first?
[03:32] <oc80z> has anyone set up Hibernate / Suspend for their laptop?
[03:32] <QuarterLife-Ubun> Quick question while I'm still here :)
[03:32] <Azur3> um, I think it was the default windows partitioner, ok thanks for the help guys, If I have anyproblem, I'll jump on the irc in firefox
[03:32] <evilbug> glitsj16- nothing at all, i installed it like io always have.
[03:32] <genii> QuarterLife-Ubun: PErhaps ask them in #winehq
[03:32] <SebNaitsabes> Azur3:  Windows
[03:32] <_punker_> in my experience windows must be installed first or you will have errors with linux
[03:32] <QuarterLife-Ubun> Yeah, will do.
[03:32] <SebNaitsabes> cannot do Linux partitions
[03:33] <QuarterLife-Ubun> Just checking, I'm headed for another irc room anyway
[03:33] <SebNaitsabes> lame when people leave like that oh well
[03:33] <QuarterLife-Ubun> This is default apparently.
[03:33] <strixv> oc80z, my hibernate/suspend works *sometimes*, I found better success with another package... s2both is the command
[03:33] <Odd-rationale> Chad: there is nothing in there... try posting again...
[03:33] <iggykoopa> you can install windows after, just have to reinstall grub
[03:33] <SebNaitsabes> he is gone
[03:33] <cchance> wow i cant find any Point Of sale that will install..   Anyone have any success with one?
[03:33] <oc80z> ok i saw that one when searching
[03:33]  * _punker_ tales note of iggykoopa post
[03:33] <Chad> Odd-rationale: http://img254.imageshack.us/img254/1277/screenshotas3.png
[03:33] <kevinO> what driver should i be using with intel 945?
[03:34] <adityag> ﻿ what is the cmd to check disk ?
[03:34] <oc80z> so strixv what is the (do you know) the command the GUI executed
[03:34] <glitsj16> evilbug: hmm, never encountered "No Bootable Device" .. have you checked your boot partition has the boot flag set ? checked /etc/fstab for wrong UUID's or anything like that ?
[03:34] <kevinO> Intel® 945GC and ICH7
[03:34] <oc80z> adityag, fsck
[03:34] <orionr> !gcc
[03:34] <chris_gr> SebNaitsabes why #windows ?i want to see if this can be done with partimage
[03:34] <strixv> oc80z, I don't know, but I suspect the gui uses pm-suspend and pm-hibernate
[03:34] <orionr> !asterisk
[03:34] <Odd-rationale> Chad: ok. let's try this all again...
[03:34] <strixv> oc80z, I have occasional success with suspend on my hp dv 6265us, but it works maybe 1 in 5 times
[03:35] <oc80z> Yikes!
[03:35] <adityag> oc80z:  error "fsck.ext3: Unable to resolve 'UUID=ca27c6d8-b191-4681-9d86-fd1a220dbb56'"
[03:35] <Chad> odd-rationale: what about my dos error when i start my comp?
[03:35] <Odd-rationale> Chad: delete the /dev/sda2 and the swap partition so that you have just free space...
[03:35] <SebNaitsabes> chris_gr:  part magic is wht they use for Windows stuff
[03:35] <oc80z> See ive got an iBook, so its (G$) not gunna be easy for me to debug when it goes into CLI mode..
[03:35] <oc80z> and i havent found any shutdown/startup log files to shed light on the situation
[03:35] <SebNaitsabes> Chad: see my private message
[03:35] <iggykoopa> try parted magic or gparted...both good livecd's for doing that stuff
[03:35] <bbryan1> what's the easiest way to install the java firefox plugin in 8.04?
[03:36] <Odd-rationale> Chad: hopefull reinstalling grub will fix it...
[03:36] <Odd-rationale> Chad: we'll try.
[03:36] <SebNaitsabes> bbryan1:  there are a few ways
[03:36] <_punker_> knoppix is really good for fixing a busted filesystem
[03:36] <chris_gr> SebNaitsabes partimage to backup ntfs work also..i didnt meant part magic
[03:36] <oc80z> adityag, try: df -h , look for the right /dev/hda* , usually mounted as /, then fsck <hda#>
[03:36] <adityag> whats this people ? WARNING!!!  Running e2fsck on a mounted filesystem may cause
[03:36] <bbryan1> SebNaitsabes: suggestions?
[03:36] <adityag> SEVERE filesystem damage.
[03:36] <oc80z> adityag,  also look in etc/fstab
[03:36] <oc80z> ooh u cant do that?
[03:36] <bbryan1> adityag: don't run fsck on a mounted file system
[03:36] <strixv> *Boot question: I want to increase the resolution/decrease the text size when my machine is booting/shutting down (like when it's doing starting apache..... done)
[03:36] <oc80z> *shrug*
[03:36] <bobertdos> ﻿bbryan1: Yes, a few, it depends on how Firefox is set up, really.
[03:36]  * oc80z nukes the sytem
[03:36] <Chad> Odd-rationale: ok now i have my windows partition and free space, thats all
[03:37] <SebNaitsabes> bbryan1:  the terminal if you know the command  synaptic package manager or go to a site with a java plugin for example  http://www.jonstorm.com  click on where the Java plugin is and install it in Firefox like that
[03:37] <bbryan1> bobertdos: how can i tell how firefox is setup?
[03:37] <glitsj16> bbryan1: sudo apt-get install sun-java6-plugin didn't work ?
[03:37] <guyzmo> err you can fsck a mounted filesystem if you remount it readonly
[03:37] <guyzmo> eg: sudo mount -o ro,remount /
[03:37] <bobertdos> ﻿bbryan1: Well, are you using the Firefox that comes built-in to Hardy?
[03:37] <bbryan1> glitsj16: nope
[03:37] <Odd-rationale> Chad: create a new partition so that you will just hav 2gb of free space. set mount to /, primary, and beggining.
[03:37] <chris_gr> glitsj16 you must have multiverse for that (java plugin...)
[03:37] <glitsj16> bbryan1: that is assuming you run 32 bit ubuntu
[03:37] <bbryan1> bobertdos: yes
[03:37] <adityag> bbryan1: how do i run fsck on unmmounted partition ?
[03:37] <bbryan1> adityag: "fsck /dev/sda"
[03:38] <glitsj16> chris_gr: yes, easily added though
[03:38] <bbryan1> where /dev/sda is your unmounted partition
[03:38] <oc80z> from the live cd?
[03:38] <oc80z> i mean, why would u want to do that?
[03:38] <Chad> Odd-rationale: and the bottom to / again
[03:38] <joustin> well after spending 3 nights trying to install 8.01 i can only assume that my laptop is toast
[03:38] <oc80z> why not just hold the powerbutton, then linux will do it for you on reboot.
[03:38] <bobertdos> ﻿bbryan1: Hmm, then it's quite strange that gltsj16's suggestion didn't work. Oh well, we can work around that.
[03:38] <Odd-rationale> Chad: then with the 2gb of free space make swap, logical, beggining.
[03:38] <oc80z> joustin, whats the issue? installation hangs?
[03:38] <joustin> nah, i get errors with corruption etc
[03:39] <Odd-rationale> Chad: when you are down. let me see another screen shot of what you got...
[03:39] <bbryan1> glitsj16: I don't i'm on 64 bit
[03:39] <joustin> i am installing the amd 64 version on my desktop at the moment
[03:39] <bbryan1> that's probably my issue
[03:39] <Odd-rationale> done
[03:39] <adityag> bbryan1: i dont know the names of those partitions, how do i find it ?
[03:39] <bobertdos> ﻿bbryan1: You DID install jsun-java6-plugin though?
[03:39] <Chad> Odd-rationale: k
[03:39] <bobertdos> ﻿bbryan1: OH! Oh dear, well that's different.
[03:39] <shamilton> Question
[03:39] <joustin> i have downloaded and burned about 5 images alternate, full cd etc, and i cannot download the distro update either
[03:39] <bbryan1> bobertdos: no installation candidate
[03:39] <bob3213243> What software do I use to take a picture with my webcam?
[03:40] <bbryan1> bobertdos: I tried installing the gcj java plugin, to no success
[03:40] <_punker_> lol
[03:40] <chris_gr> bbryan1 after you enable multiverse remember to use the reload button
[03:40] <kevinO> cheese
[03:40] <_punker_> just get a screen capture
[03:40] <Atomicsunset> wow this is a full room
[03:40] <bbryan1> chris_gr: i did apt-get update
[03:40] <iggykoopa> i think they just added something called cheese for webcam pics
[03:40] <shamilton> GTK-Gnutella is saying there is a firewall on a standard highspeed modem (no router).  Does Ubuntu 8.04 have a firewall by default?
[03:40] <Chad> Odd-rationale: http://img301.imageshack.us/img301/3775/screenshot1yy4.png
[03:40] <chris_gr> bbryan1 i meant on synaptic
[03:40] <adityag> how do i find the names of the unmounted partitions ?
[03:40] <SebNaitsabes> shamilton:  yep there is a firewall type thing
[03:40] <SebNaitsabes> !firewall
[03:41] <Atomicsunset> is there a way to increase the wireless thru ubuntu? im unable to connect to a network via ubuntu but no probs in vista hence why how im here now
[03:41] <iggykoopa> adi try sudo fdisk -l
[03:41] <Odd-rationale> Chad: that shoud be correct.
[03:41] <SebNaitsabes> !wireless
[03:41] <Atomicsunset> vista sees the network but ubuntu doesnt
[03:41] <Chad> Odd-rationale: is that good?
[03:41] <Odd-rationale> Chad: looks good try continuing.
[03:41] <bbryan1> bobertdos: there's no way to install it on 64bit?
[03:41] <Chad> Odd-rationale: ok
[03:41] <SebNaitsabes> !lan
[03:41] <Jack_Sparrow> !chroot
[03:41] <Joeseph> Hi. I'm having trouble getting adobe flash player working on firefox.  the website I am viewing is http://www.nbc.com/The_Office/video/episodes/ .....   How do I get flash working?
[03:42] <Odd-rationale> Chad: did you ever reach a stop of installing grub or a bootloader?
[03:42] <Odd-rationale> *step
[03:42] <SebNaitsabes> Joeseph:  ah yes I heped a woman with flash issues last night
[03:42] <shamilton> wow, ok is there a gui front end for iptables?
[03:42] <bobertdos> ﻿bbryan1: There is, but it's..........messy.
[03:42] <Chad> Odd-rationale: what do you mean a stop?
[03:42] <Odd-rationale> shamilton: firestarter
[03:42] <shamilton> thank you
[03:42] <iggykoopa> try firestarter for the firewall
[03:42] <Odd-rationale> Chad: a step...i mean
[03:42] <bbryan1> bobertdos: have time to explain?
[03:42] <joustin> i give up, it seems i am stuck with version 6.06
[03:42] <SebNaitsabes> Joeseph:  have you installed Flash from the network or  the website?
[03:43] <chris_gr> bbryan1 you open synaptic then you go to repositories and enable multiverse,after that you hit the reload button and you then search for java6,the you just click to install the plugin
[03:43] <Chad> Odd-rationale: no
[03:43] <Jack_Sparrow> Joeseph MSnbc is setup to only allow IE to access those, but there are ways around that.. but I need to go..  Just a nudge in the right direction
[03:43] <bbryan1> chris_gr: i have multiverse enabled
[03:43] <Joeseph> SebNaitsabes: I installed it from their website with some guide I found, but It didn't seem to workk....
[03:43] <rockenrola1> joustin: how about using the update manager to upgrade your system?
[03:43] <slackd00d> when i installed ubuntu it noticed my other hard drive, when i finished the install and rebooted it doesnt detect it even though it's in my fstab. mounting it by hand doesn't work either. what could be causing this?
[03:43] <bbryan1> i can't find the plugin in the repository list (likely because i'm on 64bit)
[03:43] <Odd-rationale> Chad: well. continue with the install... let's hope this works... when it is done. remove the cd and try booting...
[03:43] <Chad> Odd-rationale: ok
[03:43] <SebNaitsabes> Joeseph:  Jack sparrow just said something and now i'll try it as a result of what he said
[03:44] <bobertdos> ﻿bbryan1: Well, I would need to find the right tutorials. I myself have never done it. I just know from my time spent here that it's a headache.
[03:44] <chris_gr> bbryan1 moment to check how it is called on 32 bit
[03:44] <Chad> Odd-rationale: ok installing now
[03:44] <oc80z> strixv, so you use s2both
[03:44] <Odd-rationale> Chad: I have to go right now, sorry. i;ll be back in like 30min. you should be done by then...
[03:44] <bbryan1> bobertdos: I see, well thanks
[03:44] <Chad> Odd-rationale: k
[03:44] <Joeseph> SebNaitsabes: alrighty, I'm looking up stuff too, but I probably won't get far, so thanks for helping me.
[03:45] <SebNaitsabes> Joeseph: if you go to another flash site say Youtube do the videos play?
[03:45] <strixv> oc80z, yeah and it works well for hibernate. Not so much with suspend, on my machine.
[03:45] <_punker_> im having the same flash probs
[03:45] <_punker_> but they just started
[03:45] <_punker_> and im piss drunk
[03:45] <joustin> at this point i think i am going to burn my laptop
[03:45] <leafw> can't get direct rendering with gnome, but works fine with other windowmanagers. fglrx here. Any suggestions appreciated.
[03:46] <mmcji> is there a difference in how and application is install in doing the install from root, vs. doing it with sudo?
[03:46] <SebNaitsabes> Joeseph: heh guess that site does not like me since I am from UK
[03:46] <orionr> bbryan1: I'm having the same issue.
[03:46] <shamilton> firestarter looks like an entirely seperate firewall program, will it allow me to get past the iptables?
[03:46] <chris_gr> bbryan1 sun-java-
[03:46] <tony_> I'm having some troubles remotely accessing my desktop within my network. It worked just fine last week (it even worked outside of my network with DynDNS), but now it does nothing.
[03:46] <Joeseph> SebNaitsabes: Youtube does not load the videos, but it's under maintanence right now, so I don't know if that has anything to do with it.  wiicade.com works, and I thought that was flash, maybe I'm wrong, I'll check....
[03:47] <orionr> chris_gr: will the yahoo games page for you load the java?
[03:47] <chris_gr> bbryan1 sun-java-jre for example
[03:47] <rockenrola1> mmcji: I don't think so
[03:47] <orionr> I Have java installed and i'm running ubuntu 32bit 8.04
[03:47] <tony_> I know Apache is running on it, and I can access it completely from itself, but my laptop (in the same network) gets nothing. I can ping it, but no access webpages, SSHing, anything....
[03:47] <Joeseph> SebNaitsabes: Wiicade.com seems to work just fine, and it is flash7
[03:48] <SebNaitsabes> Flash 7
[03:48] <SebNaitsabes> hummmm
[03:48] <leafw> 5~the Desktop effects, though, work fine, which is puzzling. But xterm has ver ybad refresh rate -- no proper direct rendering
[03:48] <SebNaitsabes> Flash 9 is the latest for Linux
[03:48] <mmcji> rockenrola1: Thanks, that is what I was thinkng, but I was not 100% sure.
[03:48] <genii> tony_: Thats usually when it complains on startup "can't find adress, using 127.0.0.1" or such (apache2)
[03:48] <bobertdos> ﻿bbryan1: I've been told that in your case, IcedTea 7 is the best option, but I haven't found all Java applets to be friendly with IcedTea.
[03:48] <chris_gr> bbryan1 if you cant find it dont panic.I am prety sure you can install it from official sun javas website
[03:48] <glitsj16> bbryan: there's this in the forums http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=202537 if you haven't seen that already
[03:49] <SebNaitsabes> Joeseph: which FLash you got installed?
[03:49] <SebNaitsabes> Joeseph:  altough it does not matter that much
[03:49] <tony_> genii, What should I look for to fix that? To get around my ISP, I've set apache to use port 100, and it worked fine before. I checked, and it is successfully hooked up to my network with the right IP address....
[03:49] <chris_gr> but first try the free alternatives if you like ....
[03:49] <Joeseph> SebNaitsabes: I'm not too familiar with firefox plugins and such, how can I tell?
[03:49] <SebNaitsabes> right click on the FLash
[03:50] <SebNaitsabes> and  about flash at the bottom I think it is
[03:50] <genii> tony_: The usual solution if your router supports is to assign always the same IP to the mac address of the server, then in /etc/apace2/ports.conf   set that IP to listen on (along with the port)
[03:50] <tony_> genii, And I've got really weird behavior now, too. I cannot access any webpage from my (Ubuntu) laptop.....I can access websites from my desktop, and I can do other Internet things on my laptop (like IRC, right here), but no webpages. Is something wrong with my laptop maybe?
[03:50] <genii> tony_: Likely just apache config
[03:51] <SebNaitsabes> Joeseph: yes right click on Flash on a site and you will see then
[03:51] <Joeseph> SebNaitsabes: there is no "about flash", but it gives me the option of 'quit
[03:51] <Joeseph> 'oops
[03:51] <Joeseph> enter key, sorry...
[03:51] <Joeseph> gives me the option of 'quit gnash', so I assume I'm using gnash.
[03:51] <todd__> Ubuntu 8.04 doesn't seem to be applying my appearance settings upon subsequent reboots ... I've installed and selected Darklooks, and that selection persists, but the look and feel is clearly something else after a reboot ... thoughts?
[03:51] <SebNaitsabes> Joeseph: well that was a guess before and I just tryed for real.  I got for my Flash 9
[03:52] <SebNaitsabes> settings and about flash player 9
[03:52] <Atomicsunset> is there a better wifi manager than what comes stock?
[03:52] <orgthingy> ops
[03:52] <SebNaitsabes> Joeseph:  gnash hummmm that's the open source one, but  it dosan't quite cut it for certain Flash
[03:52] <mmcji> tony_: what are you using for DNS servers.  I use opendns 208.67.222.222
[03:52] <SebNaitsabes> altough I haaven't tryed it yet
[03:52] <SebNaitsabes> Joespeh:  most people will use the flashplugin-nonfree
[03:52] <Atomicsunset> im unable to connect to a wifi via ubuntu but effortlessly thru windows
[03:52] <SebNaitsabes> Joeseph: ,but if Gnash is good enough for your flash needs that's fine
[03:53] <mmcji> if you can do irc, but not internet, the you might be looking at a dns issue as the ip of your irc server is prob setup in your irc client.  I am just brainstorming here
[03:53] <iggykoopa> atomic some people like wicd, never used it though
[03:53] <genii> Atomicsunset: Let me guess. Broadcom
[03:53] <tony_> mmcji, ummm.....where should I look for that? You mean what's reported in my ifconfig?
[03:53] <Atomicsunset> lol
[03:53] <Atomicsunset> yes
[03:53] <mmcji> cat /etc/resolv.conf
[03:53] <Joeseph> SebNaitsabes: alrighty, how do I uninstall gnash and set up the flashplugin-nonfree ? I'll be looking too.  I guess gnash isn't working, as I can't watch the office....
[03:53] <mmcji> what does that show
[03:53] <SebNaitsabes> Joeseph:  their is the propritary free as in price, but not as in freedom since closed source  Adobe Flash  and the free software Gnash flash player as well
[03:53] <Atomicsunset> oh i dont like the sound of you knowing my problem that easily :P
[03:53] <Atomicsunset> unless u know the cure! :P
[03:54] <SebNaitsabes> Joeseph:  no I think it's something else since it's a MSNBC
[03:54] <fde> !broadcom
[03:54] <tony_> mmc, I'm using my ISPs...."domain ks.cox.net        nameserver xx.xxx.xx.xx      nameserver xx.xxx.xx.xx"
[03:54] <genii> fde: Heh, beat me to it :)
[03:54] <SebNaitsabes> Joeseph:  I have something else for you to try
[03:54] <tony_> mmcji,  I'm using my ISPs...."domain ks.cox.net        nameserver xx.xxx.xx.xx      nameserver xx.xxx.xx.xx"
[03:54] <Atomicsunset> ok so there is a fix?
[03:54] <Joeseph> SebNaitsabes: alright, I'm ready.
[03:54] <tony_> mmcji, My laptop one is similar, except that there is an extra "nameserver" line
[03:54] <fde> Atomicsunset: Yes, look at that link.
[03:54] <leafw> 5~
[03:54] <Atomicsunset> k thank you very much
[03:55] <tony_> mmcji, And my laptop says "search ks.cox.net" instead of "domain ks.cox.net"
[03:55] <fde> Atomicsunset: It's not really a fix though as nothing is broken... you just lack the firmware currently.
[03:55] <mmcji> well, as a test you coud add      nameserver   208.67.222.222 to the op of /etc/resolv.conf
[03:55] <Atomicsunset> ahh damn it
[03:55] <fde> (b43-fwcutter doesn't actually contain firmware, it contains tools to extract the firmware from what broadcom distribute and support)
[03:55] <Atomicsunset> i thought i updated it
[03:55] <Atomicsunset> oh fun
[03:56] <mmcji> but if you can do dns resolution, it is prob no the issue
[03:56] <mmcji> but was something to check
[03:56] <todd__> Ubuntu 8.04 doesn't seem to be applying my appearance settings upon subsequent reboots ... I've installed and selected Darklooks, and that selection persists, but the look and feel is clearly something else after a reboot ... thoughts?
[03:56] <Atomicsunset> ok so i could connect to some without the drivers, but not others?
[03:56] <fde> Atomicsunset: It's not as fun as you'd think actually... it'll take about 30 seconds once the docs make sense  :)
[03:56] <InsomniacAgent> hello all
[03:56] <Atomicsunset> ok
[03:56] <Atomicsunset> thank you very much
[03:56] <Atomicsunset> im off to read
[03:57] <anom01y> Hi I have a newb question: what library do I need to install for this error message (trying to compile something) : checking for X... configure: error: Can't find X libraries.
[03:57] <anom01y> I installed libx11-dev but I still get the same error message
[03:57] <leafw> anom01y : some -dev package
[03:58] <Rolaulten> Good evening, I was here a little wile ago, but life got in the way. That said it would seem that I am having issues with my wireless....as far as I understand the drivers are installed yet I am unable to get onto my wireless network
[03:58] <fde> anom01y: sudo apt-get install apt-file && sudo apt-file update && apt-file search <whatever_file>
[03:58] <Blaqlight> can someone please tell me what the "original" fixed width font for ubuntu is?
[03:58] <Rolaulten> even when all of the info is right
[03:58] <bob3213243_> I'm trying to take a video using cheese but the video end of it is really buggy. is there something else.
[03:58] <bob3213243_> ?
[03:58] <Blaqlight> the one Im using now is way to big.
[03:58] <fde> Blaqlight: monospace
[03:59] <anom01y> Blaqlight: I installed libx11-dev but that doesnt work
[03:59] <iggykoopa> bob i think camorama is another you can do it with...not sure on that one though
[03:59] <fde> Blaqlight: Right Click Desktop > Change Background > Fonts tab ... make the text smaller?
[03:59] <mmcji> Rolaulten: do you have a wireless router setup that has security like wpa integrated in it? and are you using it?  If you can ping the wireless router, what happens if you disable the security?  can you then access the internet?
[03:59] <fde> anom01y: Did you see what I told you?
[04:00] <Blaqlight> fde : no only terminal fonts.
[04:00] <fde> Blaqlight: Yes... it's the bottom listed there... or you mean tty etc?
[04:00] <anom01y> fde yes but I cant find the file because I dont know what the name of the file is
[04:00] <anom01y> or packages
[04:00] <fde> anom01y: what are you compiling?
[04:00] <anom01y> latest digikam
[04:00] <oc80z> so hey
[04:00] <Blaqlight> I just wanted to know what the original terminal font was. thats all thanks.
[04:00] <fde> anom01y: sudo apt-get build-dep digikam
[04:00] <oc80z> strixv, i think the new powerpc kernel is why it doesent work
[04:01] <oc80z> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.22/+bug/140977
[04:01] <Rolaulten> mmcji: I know the router is online (useing it right now with a different PC). Its running a 64 bit wep key for logon...however the ubuntu box is not even getting to the point of haveing an IP to ping
[04:01] <fde> oc80z: just do: !bugz 1
[04:01] <oc80z> my kernel i use is: vmlinux-2.6.24-19-powerpc
[04:01] <fde> !bugz 1
[04:01] <oc80z> !bugz suspend
[04:02] <oc80z> :|
[04:02] <_Brun0__> hi all. i just accidentally deleted my /var/ww folder accidentaly in Filezilla. Files where in EXT3 format (Ubuntu 8.04). The HD is SATA and it's a notebok HD. Where I work we have adapters to read notebook HDs in normalPC (USB connection). Please help. What should I do? The notebook is powered off.
[04:02] <anom01y> fde: that installs the wrong gphoto2 library (2.4.0) I am trying to install 2.4.2 but digikam installs 2.4.0 so  I have to compile everything manually to get latest version because 2.4.0 doesnt work for my camera but 2.4.2 does
[04:02] <fde> bugz 140977
[04:02] <Maliocha> olá, alguém ai fala português?
[04:02] <mmcji> cool
[04:02] <Rolaulten> mmcji: It seems to just be timing out before anything can happen...
[04:02] <fde> !bugz 140977
[04:02] <fde> Stupid bot  >:|
[04:02] <fde> Well, usually that works, I guess someone broke it.
[04:02] <bastid_raZor> bugz is not a word.
[04:02] <bob3213243_> Camorama doesn't seem to be up to the task.
[04:02] <Chad> SebNaitsabes: omg I am on ubuntu without it being live cd, the install worked!
[04:02] <bob3213243_> anything else to capture a video with a webcam.
[04:02] <iggykoopa> sorry bob havent used it in a while
[04:03] <TeslaTony> !bug 140977
[04:03] <SebNaitsabes> Chad:  ok nice one
[04:03] <SebNaitsabes> Chad: ,but can you boot WIndows to?
[04:03] <iggykoopa> bruno the first thing you should do is make an image of the disk with dd
[04:03] <mmcji> so it is not successfully connecting to the wireless router..if you turn the security off can you connect?  Just for testing of course.
[04:03] <Chad> SebNaitsabes: Only one thing i have to put the cd in then select boot from hard drive then ubuntu
[04:03] <iggykoopa> then you can work with the image to try and restore the data
[04:03] <Chad> yeah i should be able to
[04:03] <SebNaitsabes> Chad:  you shoudn't need the CD too boot into Ubuntu or Windows
[04:03] <Rolaulten> mmcji: lets find out...Heh...lucky I'm the "admin" for the network
[04:03] <fde> anom01y: It grabs whatever is latest... why do you need libgphoto2 2.4.2 ?
[04:04] <_Brun0__> iggykoopa, I have a live CD that boots some recovery tools. including one to copy partitions. But if my notebook has just one partiton, where should I wirte the copy to?
[04:04] <bastid_raZor> !grub > Chad
[04:04] <mmcji> what i would do, i would turn off the security, then statically assign tcp/ip on the laptop.
[04:04] <bastid_raZor> Chad; sounds like you have grub issues. ubottu should have the links to fix it.
[04:04] <Desuism> How do you set the permissions of a drive when I mount it through fstab
[04:04] <anom01y> fde well the latest gphoto2 I can get from apt-get install gphoto2 is 2.4.0
[04:04] <Desuism> the way I'm doing it is, not working
[04:04] <fde> anom01y: yes... why do you need 2.4.2?
[04:04] <bob3213243_> I'm trying to take a video using cheese but the video end of it is really buggy. is there something else.
[04:04] <BadRobert> hi World^^
[04:05] <anom01y> because my camera doesnt work on 2.4.0, only 2.4.2
[04:05] <anom01y> I tested it already
[04:05] <mmcji> example - ifconfig wlan0 10.10.10.3 netmask 255.255.255.0
[04:05] <SebNaitsabes> Chad:  well that's a start, but you should get Grub sorted out properly or the Windows boot loader so you can boot into Windows and Ubuntu like that
[04:05] <mmcji> example -  route add default gw 10.10.10.254
[04:05] <Chad> Sebnaitsabes, ok so it shows i need to install my graphics card driver? should i install the one reccomended?
[04:05] <anom01y> fde: Im just working on getting digikam installed now, I am afraid that if I try to apg-get install digikam it will overwrite my gphoto2 2.4.2 and replace it with 2.4.0
[04:05] <anom01y> fde: unless I am mistaken
[04:06] <SebNaitsabes> Chad:  uhmmm you should get your boot loader sorted out properly first
[04:06] <Chad> k
[04:06] <fde> anom01y: It won't... 2.4.2 is a newer version... epoch is the same
[04:06] <fde> (both should be 1)
[04:06] <SebNaitsabes> Chad:  http://www.pastebin.com  /boot/grub/menu.lst
[04:07] <SebNaitsabes> Chad:  open terminal and  gedit  /boot/grub/menu.lst
[04:07] <bob3213243_> I'm trying to take a video using cheese but the video end of it is really buggy. is there something else.
[04:07] <Stanton> does anybody know how to make Linksys WUSB54GSC work with linux? i've fallowed the NDISWRAPPER wiki and also some things on ubuntu forums and all i've managed to do is it ndiswrapper say the drivers are installed
[04:08] <Chad> sebnaitsabes, also when i first start up my comp it says no boot device loaded please reboot
[04:08] <Chad> sebnaitsabes, here http://pastebin.com/m6114ccb2
[04:08] <fde> anom01y: incase that confused you... epoch is the value before the colon when you see version like 1:3.2.1 ... its purpose is to give priority despite version... so 2:0.1.2 is installed over 1:2.1.0 ... make sense?
[04:09] <anom01y> yes thank you
[04:09] <fde> anom01y: so next time you compile something yourself... give it a high epoch, and you never have to worry  :)
[04:10] <fde> bob3213243_: ucview or something? not really though
[04:10] <oc80z> i really just dont get it
[04:10] <oc80z> stick1, you there?
[04:11] <stick1> hi
[04:11] <SebNaitsabes> Chad: ok WIndows is your first partition?
[04:11]  * meonkeys is at a Shuttleworth talk in Portland, OR
[04:11] <oc80z> Debian PowerPC can Suspend and Hibernate, but why cant Ubuntu!
[04:11] <Chad> sebnaitsabes, yes it is
[04:11] <SebNaitsabes> Chad:  can you boot into that as well now?
[04:11] <fde> oc80z: PPC isn't even supported anymore I don't think.
[04:11] <SebNaitsabes> Chad: when I say boot I mean no CD in the drive
[04:12] <Chad> sebnaitsabes, no
[04:12] <SebNaitsabes> Chad: boot from the Grub that should be on your computer now
[04:12] <Chad> sebnaitsabes, grub is now on my comp?
[04:12] <stick1> ﻿oc80z, did you have a question or something ..?
[04:12] <SebNaitsabes> Chad:  yep should be since you got Ubuntu installed on your hard disk
[04:12] <Chad> sebnaitsabes, ok so hould i just restart comp
[04:12] <SebNaitsabes> Chad:  you should take the CD out and  re start the comp and boot into WIndows and Ubuntu or try to
[04:13] <SebNaitsabes> Chad:  then come back here
[04:13] <Chad> sebnaitsabes, ok
[04:13] <SebNaitsabes> Chad: tell me if that worked without any CD in there
[04:13] <Chad> sebnaitsabes, ummmmm i can't take my cd out
[04:13] <oc80z> stick1, Do you run ibook g4?
[04:13] <SebNaitsabes> !unmount
[04:13] <oc80z> or powerpc?
[04:13] <Chad> sebnaitsabes, i press the eject button nothing happens
[04:14] <SebNaitsabes> Chad:  yeah  security thing I think
[04:14] <Stanton> does anybody know how to make Linksys wireless adaptor WUSB54GSC work with ubunut? i've fallowed the NDISWRAPPER wiki and also some things on ubuntu forums and all i've managed to do is it ndiswrapper say the drivers are installed but yet it dosnt work
[04:14] <SebNaitsabes> Chad:  you have to unmount it
[04:14] <shamilton> can anyone that understands iptables give me a command to allow gnutella through?
[04:14] <Chad> sebnaitsabes, how?
[04:14] <oc80z> Stanton, /etc/modules
[04:14] <oc80z> modprobe
[04:14] <oc80z> its loaded?
[04:14] <SebNaitsabes> Chad:  it might be on the desktop if so  right click and unmount
[04:14] <stick1> ﻿oc80z: nope, i build my own computer
[04:14] <kevinO> what driver should i be using with intel 945?
[04:14] <Chad> oh cool
[04:14] <oc80z> you built your own OS
[04:14] <Chad> i right clicked and hit eject
[04:15] <Chad> sebnaitsabes, ok it's out
[04:15] <Stanton> oc80z well i dont have internet unless i use windows atm.. soo i would have to reboot.. should i do so?
[04:15] <Chad> sebnaitsabes, im now going to restart my comp
[04:15] <SebNaitsabes> Chad:  ok re boot your computer boot into Ubuntu and  Windows and tell me if they work
[04:15] <oc80z> Stanton, just keep trying.
[04:15] <Odd-rationale> SebNaitsabes: so, is chad's comp working?
[04:15] <Stanton> oc80z,  so when in ubuntu i should type in termanel sudo modprobe modules?
[04:15] <oc80z> or get another wireless card
[04:16]  * Odd-rationale just got back...
[04:16] <s3a> is there any way to use gnash or swfdec to play youtube videos or will a new version that can come out soon?
[04:16] <el_ruso> hi guys, i have ubuntu 8.04.1 but i cannot find the option for startup ubuntu without password, can you guys help me?
[04:16] <oc80z> Stanton, dont listen to me
[04:16] <SebNaitsabes> Odd-rationale: he is going to  try booting WIndows and Ubuntu from Grub without the CD in the drive
[04:16] <IndyGunFreak> el_ruso: system/admin/login window.. its one of those tabs there.
[04:16] <iggykoopa> system>administration>login window ruso
[04:16] <Odd-rationale> SebNaitsabes: ok
[04:16] <binskipy2u> anyone else using ubuntu 8.04.1 32bit ON a 64bit system  and not see all the ram, bout 500mb short of total?
[04:16] <SebNaitsabes> Odd-rationale: by the menu.lst he showed me they both should work no problem
[04:17] <iggykoopa> beat me to it indy
[04:17] <binskipy2u> if its over 3gig
[04:17] <IndyGunFreak> iggykoopa: cuz i'm awesome-o.. :)
[04:17] <joustin> So let me ask this, how hard would it be to go to ubuntu full time? I use my pc for office 2007 and gaming, can wine accomplish all of this for me?
[04:17] <iggykoopa> the gaming depends on which games
[04:17] <joustin> wow and some steam games
[04:17] <amenado> binskipy2u-> i have read that somewhere, 3gig is pretty much your max
[04:17] <SebNaitsabes> joustin:  3D gaing?
[04:17] <SebNaitsabes> joustin: wow works great in Wine
[04:17] <joustin> yes
[04:18] <fde> joustin: WoW certainly works...
[04:18] <s3a> joustin: use openoffice.org instead of office 2007 cuz it can also see .doc files and wine can almost always accomplush gaming just chek on site to c which games work and how well
[04:18] <Odd-rationale> SebNaitsabes: ok. sounds good. my guess is that grub failed to install the first time or something...
[04:18] <binskipy2u> just a few packages wont work with 64bit
[04:18] <el_ruso> indyguyfreak, sotty, what a dumb question... thanx a lot
[04:18] <binskipy2u> lots of media sites wont play well
[04:18] <el_ruso> sorry
[04:18] <iggykoopa> if you run the beta of openoffice 3 it has office 2007 support
[04:18] <IndyGunFreak> el_ruso: it happens, no prob.
[04:18] <fde> joustin: appdb.winehq.com ... if they're not gold or platinum they aren't going to really be playable ime
[04:18] <joustin> i have to use office 2007 with the new docx formats for school, however i can always use my laptop for that
[04:18] <bastid_raZor> joustin; if need be you could run windows in VMWare for office or anything non-3d
[04:18] <binskipy2u> but i have flash and some gstreamer plugins, etc.. but is using 32bit worth having it all but losing 500mb ram?
[04:18] <Odd-rationale> Chad: hey. working?
[04:18] <Chad> sebnaitsabes, ....damn.... it says unable to find boot device please select a boot device and reboot
[04:18] <joustin> vmware.. ok
[04:18] <binskipy2u> is anyone else using a 32bit buntu on a 64bit computer?
[04:18] <SebNaitsabes> joustin:  not sure about the suppourt for Office 2007, but Office 2003 in Wine with the exception of Access works great
[04:19] <Odd-rationale> Chad:  for ubuntu or windows? or both?
[04:19] <amenado> binskipy2u-> i dont know how 64bit is running with 32 bit emulation?
[04:19] <Chad> Odd-rationale: well it's fully installed,but i have to use the cd then go to boot from hard drive then select ubuntu or windows
[04:19] <binskipy2u> some stuff can be "forced" it seems some can not
[04:19] <joustin> i will probably use my laptop for all of the microsoft junk
[04:19] <SebNaitsabes> joustin:  well you can have Windows inside Ubuntu
[04:19] <amenado> binskipy2u-> here is the link  http://dansdata.com/askdan00015.htm
[04:19] <SebNaitsabes> joustin: it won't be good for 3D gaming, but otherwise it will be good
[04:19] <Odd-rationale> Chad: if you don't use the cd, then?
[04:20] <joustin> i dont care if i have windows, as long as i can play wow :)
[04:20] <Chad> Odd-rationale: well it gives me an error saying please select a boot device,select one then reboot
[04:20] <SebNaitsabes> joustin:  yes I and someone else already told you wow runs in Wine
[04:20] <LinuxKitten> what's the screensaver directory?
[04:20] <Chad> Odd-rationale: so sebnaitsabes has been helping me out
[04:20] <Odd-rationale> Chad: what is your bios set as first boot?
[04:20] <Chad> my hard drive
[04:21] <SebNaitsabes> Odd-retaionale:  yep he needs to be able to boot into them without the CD in :)
[04:21] <joustin> I know, only reiterating. I have ubuntu installing on my desktop inside windows at the moment, i will work with wine there if I get everything how I like it I will go full on linux

[04:21] <s3a> s_spiff: wats the model of ur printer?
[04:21] <Odd-rationale> Chad: are you in ubuntu right now?

[04:21] <Chad> Odd-rationale: yeah brb lemme try something
[04:21] <LinuxKitten> what's the screensaver directory?
[04:21] <Maliocha> alguém aí fala portuga?
[04:22] <joustin> no, its on its own partition
[04:22] <SebNaitsabes> joustin: don't do a wubi install :)   partition install is the way to go :)
[04:22] <s_spiff> s3a: binskipy2u : its a Canon Pixma MP 145
[04:22] <joustin> i dont know why i was thinking wubi, it has its own 100gig partition
[04:22] <binskipy2u> this may help you... s_spiff.. or point you in the right direction.. i have a cannon pixma mp210

[04:23] <LinuxKitten> anyone?
[04:23] <s3a> s_spiff: system-->administration-->printing
[04:24] <s_spiff> binskipy2u: s3a: my printing works fine, its the scanning that isn't functioning :(
[04:24] <bobertdos> ﻿LinuxKitten: You don't have to wait to ask, just ask.
[04:24] <binskipy2u> neither is mine
[04:24] <lost_in_space> Linux Kitten - do you mean WHERE is the screensavers directory?
[04:24] <glitsj16> LinuxKitten: run "locate screensaver" from terminal and check some dirs, you could be using gnome-screensaver , xscreensaver ... hard to guess
[04:24] <s3a> s_spiff: xsane isnt doing the job?
[04:24] <Odd-rationale> Chad: well?
[04:24] <Chad> Yeah my first boot device is my hard drive....
[04:24] <binskipy2u> there's a how-to for canon mp210, but its so intricate, its not worth me screwing up my system
[04:24] <binskipy2u> i just use vista to scan stuff
[04:25] <Chad> Odd-rationale: i went to double check
[04:25] <Odd-rationale> Chad: didn't work without the cd?
[04:25] <LinuxKitten> k thanks
[04:25] <binskipy2u> since linux wont fit the bill
[04:25] <s_spiff> s3a: nopes, when i open GIMP > File > AQuire ... I do not get the option to use a certain scanner :(
[04:25] <SebNaitsabes> Linux can
[04:25] <SebNaitsabes> scan for virues
[04:25] <SebNaitsabes> WIndows virsues
[04:25] <Chad> Odd-rationale: no it says please select proper boot device reboot once selected
[04:25] <s_spiff> binskipy2u: ouuu ok. but its working for most of others :(
[04:25] <binskipy2u> scan stuff<<< use a scanner for scanning photos , etc
[04:25] <binskipy2u> cannon just dont work well
[04:25] <s3a> s_spiff: applications-->graphics-->XSane Image Scanner
[04:25] <binskipy2u> now hp and epson, work well with linux
[04:25] <binskipy2u> that dont work for me either s3a
[04:26] <Chad> SebNaitsabes: Odd-rationale: do you guys have any idea whats wrong?
[04:26] <s3a> binskipy2u: my canon pixma mp170 prints and scans in feisty
[04:26] <binskipy2u> ive tried everytyhing cept for programing and editing config files for xsane, etc..
[04:26] <binskipy2u> not worth the trouble
[04:26] <kingbilly> does anyone have experience upgrading gtk-gnutella
[04:26] <ronin12345> How can i resize my root partition?
[04:26] <Odd-rationale> Chad: try this in terminal: "sudo update-grub"
[04:26] <s_spiff> s3a: when I click on XSane image scanner, it says no device available :(
[04:26] <binskipy2u> i just reboot into vista to scan photos/stuff, at least that works
[04:26] <IndyGunFreak> kingbilly: only uninstalling it.. :)
[04:26] <s3a> ronin12345: use live cd then go to system-->administration-->partition editor
[04:27] <ronin12345> so can't do it without rebooting
[04:27] <iggykoopa> not if your ext3 ronin
[04:27] <ronin12345> dag nabit
[04:27] <Odd-rationale> SebNaitsabes: is it possible that Chad installed grub to the wrong drive? sda2 instead of sda ?
[04:27] <Chad> Odd-rationale: it's updated and SebNaitsabes looked at my grub file and he said it was fine
[04:27] <kingbilly> indygunfreak
[04:27] <IndyGunFreak> anybody else unable to go to the Login WIndow after the recent updates(System/Admin/Login Window).. i can't get to it on my PC or my laptops
[04:27] <kingbilly> indygunfreak: thanks, ill prob do that and install new from source
[04:27] <Chad> Odd-rationale: no because windows still works
[04:28] <thinman1189> know where I can find documentation on getting wow to work in wine? I'm using 8.04 64bit on intel dual core and nvidia card.
[04:28] <Odd-rationale> Chad: without the cd?
[04:28] <IndyGunFreak> kingbilly: well, that wasn't really my point.. but i wish you luck int

[04:28] <s3a> s_spiff: np, tell me if it works for u if im here
[04:28] <Chad> Odd-rationale: no i still need to use ubuntu cd then go to boot from harddrive then select windows xp
[04:28] <joustin> hah 15 years and they finally released wine 1.0
[04:29] <SebNaitsabes> well MS is a moving target
[04:29] <novi> _imutz
[04:29] <joustin> no kidding
[04:29] <lost_in_space> i am sure you could do it faster ;-)
[04:29] <SebNaitsabes> as a result Wine and that will always be behind
[04:29] <Odd-rationale> Chad: so i'm thinking that grub might have installed on sda2, instead of sda
[04:29] <SebNaitsabes> unless MS goes bye bye :)
[04:29] <will01> how would i set up a server so that when someone typed in its domain name, it directed them to a web page
[04:29] <joustin> no i know that MS is a pain to keep up with, i hate how every few years they change it all
[04:30] <Chad> odd-rationale, i dunno
[04:30] <SebNaitsabes> yep Office 2007
[04:30] <SebNaitsabes> that's an example of that
[04:30] <joustin> yes
[04:30] <Chad> Odd-rationale: ask sebnaitsabed, he saw my grub file he said it looked fine.
[04:30] <Odd-rationale> Chad: i'll be back.. again...
[04:30] <Chad> Gosh this is so frustrating
[04:30] <Odd-rationale> SebNaitsabes: how do you check where grub is installed?
[04:30] <finx01> so how can I figure out what FS is on the SD memory card I just inserted? It already has stuff on it (works in my phone), I just can't figure out how to mount it
[04:31] <SebNaitsabes> Odd-rationale:  /boot/
[04:31] <Chad> SebNaitsabes: it looked fine right?
[04:31] <SebNaitsabes> Chad:  yep seemed to
[04:31] <iggykoopa> fin its probably fat16 or fat32
[04:32] <Windsurfer619> finx01: df -T

[04:32] <Dewente> how so important is to know Shell Scripting ?
[04:32] <s_spiff> s3a: I'l try install sane, but should I uninstall xsane for that? or both can work side by side?
[04:32] <bobertdos> ﻿Dewente: for doing what sorts of things?
[04:33] <lost_in_space> Using 8.04 - Update Manager cannot start gtksu or install updates. Update Manager notifies when new updates are available. However, I right click on Update Manager > Install Updates causes, I assume, gtksu to appear in the task bar , but no pop up appears and it then times out.
[04:33] <Dewente> bobertdos, for be an linux administrator
[04:33] <lost_in_space> extremely important
[04:33] <unop> Dewente, i'd say very important
[04:33] <bobertdos> ﻿Dewente: Umm, I'd say fairly much!! :D
[04:33] <Odd-rationale> Chad: pastebin the output of "sudo fdisk -l" (lowercase L)
[04:34] <nickrud> lost_in_space try  running   update-manager from a terminal, don't use gksu
[04:34] <Dewente> wow .. dont make me the live harder
[04:34] <will01> im using dyndns to set up an ftp server and other things. when i type in blahblah.blahblah.com, i would like it to direct me to a web page that would redirect me to ether the ftp server ftp://blahblah.blahblah.com, or the ampache server http://blahblah.blahblah.com/ampache, is there any way to do this?
[04:34] <lost_in_space> nickrud, it works fine from the shell.
[04:34] <s3a> im not sure honestly try first with both then uninstall xsane
[04:34] <s3a> s_spiff: im not sure honestly try first with both then uninstall xsane
[04:34] <s3a> s_spiff: u can also try on live cd first
[04:34] <s3a> s_spiff: probably
[04:34] <s3a> s_spiff: sry this is not my area of expertise :(
[04:34] <FloodBot1> s3a: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[04:34] <nickrud> hm
[04:35] <Dewente> ok..now .. how can recommend me a good resource or book for learn Shell Scripting
[04:35] <unop> Dewente, well you can administer systems without knowing much shell scripting - you'd just not be a very good one, shell scripting makes easy jobs easier and difficult jobs possible
[04:35] <Akiv1> Hello everyone, I am looking for some answers to some questions I have regarding my video card and xorg and compizfusion
[04:35] <unop> Dewente, http://wooledge.org:8000/BashGuide
[04:35] <Chad> Odd-rationale: http://pastebin.com/m16038d1c
[04:35] <Akiv1> I posted most of the details here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5430090#post5430090
[04:35] <Akiv1> I would be really appreciative of any help
[04:35] <glitsj16> Dewente: there's the advanced bash scripting guide in the repositories, sudo apt-get install abs-guide
[04:36] <Odd-rationale> Chad: can i pm you?
[04:36] <Dewente> glistsj16, thank
[04:37] <unop> Dewente, if you can get your hands on this book, it's quite invaluble.   Learning the Bash Shell from O'Reilly
[04:37] <glitsj16> Dewente: you're welcome, happy coding i'd say
[04:37] <Dewente> upon, so is recommendable first learn shell script ?
[04:37] <Chad> Odd-rationale: yeah for sure
[04:37] <wols> Akiv1: what driver are you using. your xorg.conf is normal btw
[04:37] <unop> Dewente, before doing what tho?
[04:37] <King> good nite
[04:37] <Akiv1> wols: I haven't set up anything specific beyond default installation
[04:38] <Akiv1> wols: How could I check?
[04:38] <wols> Akiv1: then do. same as in debian. Xorg logs
[04:38] <Dewente> unop, before keep reading about administration duties
[04:38] <wols> Akiv1: what card do you have?
[04:38] <bobertdos> Akib1: First and foremost, you'll want to install the Restricted Drivers for whatever card you have.
[04:38] <Akiv1> I have a x3100
[04:38] <wols> Akiv1: then you need to enable DRM
[04:38] <Dewente> unop, Learning the Bash Shell from O'Reilly tha's is a book too ?
[04:38] <Akiv1> wols:  How so?
[04:38] <wols> bobertdos: there is no "restricted driver" for intel cards
[04:39] <vina> gytrk
[04:39] <unop> Dewente, i would say you need to do both of them simultaneously
[04:39] <wols> Akiv1: again: check Xorg logs
[04:39] <Akiv1> wols: It's odd because it seems like I have some of the Compiz effects
[04:39] <linkinxp> can someone help me with this? https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/kubuntu-users/2006-November/010526.html
[04:39] <wols> Akiv1: also glxinfo |grep direct to check for direct rendering
[04:39] <linkinxp> its the same error
[04:39] <Akiv1> wols: Pardon my ignorance, I wouldnt know what to do with the logs, nor where they are
[04:39] <bobertdos> wols: Oh, I misread the model, hehe
[04:39] <unop> Dewente, yea, it's a book from o'reilly - http://oreilly.com/catalog/9781565923478/
[04:39] <wols> linkinxp: "mount"
[04:39] <Dewente> unop, but the rest going to be easier is i learn how to programmer on shell
[04:40] <Akiv1> wols: ﻿that returned YES
[04:40] <lost_in_space> have a good day!
[04:40] <nickrud> lost_in_space
[04:40] <rubengonc> wols, btw could you explain me why in ubuntu (at least 8.04) in xorg.conf we cant see "Driver "nv" ,etc, and everything appears the way Akiv1 posted?
[04:40] <nickrud> darn
[04:40] <wols> Akiv1: then compiz should work
[04:40] <linkinxp> wols, what should i do? i have the folder! and the permissions are good!
[04:40] <wols> rubengonc: cause xorg made it so in the newest version. autodetection
[04:40] <wols> linkinxp: do what I told you
[04:40] <linkinxp> wols, how? im new in mount stuff
[04:41] <Akiv1> wols: Right, which is what I thought ... It seems like it is working, but the thing is, I am following a tutorial to embed a terminal in the desktop and it says System > Preferences should have a COMPIZ entry
[04:41] <unop> Dewente, not necessarily - though you automatically exercise advanced shell scriping when doing advanced administration
[04:41] <wols> linkinxp: ah, when booting. then this is not really an error message I'd say. but: you need to find out where the messages occurs. e.g. by looking for the other text around this message and grepping for it in /etc/init.d/ for example
[04:42] <linkinxp> ill see
[04:42] <sammyF> hey there. Is there any way to tell fsck to stop checking and just assume a disk is okay? (8.04 upgraded from 7.10 here)
[04:42] <linkinxp> thanks :)
[04:42] <linkinxp> o other thing
[04:42] <wols> sammyF: a running fsck: no
[04:42] <linkinxp> how can i PAUSE the letters from going away?
[04:42] <rubengonc> sammyF ctrl-c to interrupt the process
[04:42] <linkinxp> like in windows
[04:42] <unop> Dewente, apart from bash there are a few other tools you might like to learn.  awk, sed  - and maybe perl or ruby
[04:42] <nickrud> sammyF you can change the way fsck is run with tune2fs (assuming ext2/3)
[04:42] <Akiv1> wols: So there should not be a Compiz entry in the System > Preferences option?
[04:42] <linkinxp> wols how can i stop the boot process so i can read?
[04:42] <Dewente> unop, whyyyyyyyyyyyyy
[04:42] <wols> sammyF: tune2fs however can set after how many boot ups or time the automatic fsck happens
[04:43] <linkinxp> Akiv1, need to install Compiz Configuration
[04:43] <wols> linkinxp: "pause"
[04:43] <linkinxp> ok
[04:43] <wols> !ccsm > Akiv1
[04:43] <sammyF> nickrud: wols: thanks :) that was going to be my next question :)
[04:43] <Akiv1> linkinxp: Is that in Apt sources?\
[04:43] <unop> Dewente, well, awk and sed are part of "shell scripting".  but shell scripting is limited, sometimes you have to do jobs that shell scripting cannot do - that's where perl or ruby comes in
[04:44] <arcos> hi my suspend and hibernate don't work any more with my hardy... any help?
[04:44] <sammyF> rubengonc: ctrl+c doesn't interrupt a running fsck (at least not here). ctrl+alt+del does though, but then disks don't get mounted
[04:44] <Akiv1> I got the bot message, hanx
[04:44] <unop> Dewente, i am not saying you should become a master at these tools.  just know enough to get by
[04:44] <Dewente> unop, i see, but the first step is shell right ?
[04:44] <hml> what do i need to install to fix the following?
[04:44] <hml> x@x:~$ man X 7
[04:44] <hml> No manual entry for X
[04:44] <unop> Dewente, yes indeed
[04:44] <hml> See 'man 7 undocumented' for help when manual pages are not available.
[04:45] <Dewente> unop, i want to get a job just as a jr. administration

[04:46] <jezez> i'm trying to patch my wireless card (orinico) but i need the kernel source. whats the name of the package to get it

[04:47] <pabix> Hello, I would like to know whether you know a way to find files with non-ASCII-writable characters in their names, with find eG
[04:47] <Nikke> how can i create a zip archive with a command line?
[04:47] <Nikke> i read man zip without results
[04:47] <bob3213243_> ARGH! I can't seem to record a video with my webcam! Cheese keeps bugging out.
[04:47] <arcos> Anybody have the same problem???
[04:47] <pabix> Nikke, zip -r Name_of_your_archive files
[04:48] <JasonWoof> apt-get source foo; cd foo; vim bar.c; debian/rules make; sudo debian/rules binary; cd ..; sudo dpkg --install foo*.deb
[04:48] <Windsurfer619> arcos: What problem?
[04:48] <JasonWoof> now how do I get synaptic to stop re-installing the unmodified version over mine?
[04:48] <glitsj16> bob3213243_: have you tried wxCam (http://wxcam.sourceforge.net/) ?
[04:48] <arcos> Windsurfer619: my suspend and hibernate do not work anymore, it just wont come back
[04:49] <Nikke> pabix: didnt work
[04:49] <pabix> Nikke, the EXAMPLES section is very clear about this, the first example is really simple: “zip stuff *” creates “stuff.zip”
[04:49] <JasonWoof> whenever I click "mark upgrades" synaptic tries to install the unmodified version in place of mine, even though there is no new version of it. definitely not an "upgrade"
[04:49] <unop> pabix, define  non-ASCII-writable characters.  those that are not alphanumeric?  or those that fall in the ASCII range of 30-127?
[04:49] <s_spiff> s3a: I installed sane without removing xsane, but when I clikc on GIME > File > Aqure > Sane.... nothing happens... :( what to do?
[04:49] <Cybergeek|Vista> UGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i cant get the Dynex DX-WGPUSB to work on ubuntu
[04:49] <nickrud> JasonWoof either change the release in the deb, or put it on hold  sudo aptitude hold <pkg>
[04:49] <Windsurfer619> arcos: What do you mean? it was working before, and then you did something, and naow it's not?
[04:49] <pabix> unop, second case. Actually I share a fat32 file system between two computers
[04:50] <pabix> and sometimes, one system tells me the file names have an invalid encoding
[04:50] <JasonWoof> nickrud: how do I change the release? (I assume you mean the end of the version number)
[04:50] <pabix> So I would like to rename all those files with éàôïř etc. in their names
[04:50] <nickrud> JasonWoof hm, that's something I used to know ;) a sec
[04:50] <Cybergeek|Vista> UGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i cant get the Dynex DX-WGPUSB to work on ubuntu <- anyone have ideas to find the inf?

[04:51] <s3a> s_spiff: sry like i said im not an expert with scanners, i suggest posting to the thread i gave u and stating u have a similar problem since the thread is recent because the first post was 3 weeks ago and the last one was 1 week ago

[04:55] <arcos> Windsurfer619 it says permission denied
[04:56] <JasonWoof> nickrud: it's very cool. I never thought that Changelog would be parsed. Then again, this is not the first time I've been suprised in a good way by the debian packaging stuff
[04:56] <jonathan_> i have a 30gb ext3 partition that has ubuntu mounted, i have a 180gb ext3 seperate partition unmounted, how do i combine them?
[04:56] <Windsurfer619> arcos: To edit system files, you have to use a command called "sudo" and then the command you want to execute. So from a terminal, if you would type "sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist" to open a text-editor with that file in it.
[04:57] <Windsurfer619> !sudo
[04:57] <nickrud> JasonWoof yeah, 'technical excellence' , I love using good stuff
[04:57] <chriswr> can anyone tell me how to change the background color for pidgin?
[04:58] <Rolaulten> Em, I keep popping up...with all kinds of wireless issues...lets see, with an unencrypted network my ubuntu box was online just dandy, now its restarted (trying to install nvidia drivers) and now I have no options for any wireless networks what so ever...so...does anyone have any ideas? least of all how to get a peace of hardware that was online back online, then afterwords  haveing it...
[04:58] <Rolaulten> ...understand a wep passkey...
[04:58] <JasonWoof> nickrud: oh, changelog is in debian directory, that makes more sense
[04:58] <unop> pabix,  perl -MFile::Find -le ' find( sub { print $File::Find::name if grep { $c = ord $_; $c<30 or $c>127 } split // }, +shift) ' /path/to/dir
[04:59] <bob3213243_> I have a tar.gz for wxcam how do I install it?
[04:59] <Cybergeek|Vista> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5433308#post5433308
[04:59] <pabix> unop, excellent
[04:59] <pabix> thank you
[04:59] <unop> pabix, although it might be easier to convert the encoding of these extraneous files
[05:00] <unop> pabix, meaning .. you'd have to rename the files returned here by hand
[05:00] <nickrud> bob3213243 try opening it in the file manager, and check the install instructions. tarballs have many ways to install, they're just the equiv of a zip file
[05:00] <JasonWoof> bob3213243_: .tar.gz is like a zip file, we don't know what's in yours
[05:00] <pabix> unop, yes, but I can do this I think
[05:00] <bob3213243_> jasonwoof I can send you the file.
[05:00] <ice_cream> lo; it's been a while... but i finally updated my distro to 8.04 .   I...can't change the kernel, can i?  (i see no new entry in /usr/src)
[05:00] <Windsurfer619> chriswr: unfortunately, due to an interface decision with the Pidgin devs, it's not an easy task. The background colour is hard-coded, it would seem.
[05:01] <glitsj16> bob3213243_: why didn't you get the wxcam .deb at sourceforge ?
[05:01] <wols> ice_cream: of course you can
[05:01] <bob3213243_> I can.
[05:01] <chriswr> Windsurfer619: so , how would i do it?
[05:01] <nickrud> ice_cream if you updated, you should have gotten the latest version. Install  linux-generic  to be sure
[05:01] <chriswr> Windsurfer619: is there a config file i could use>?
[05:01] <Rolaulten> to add to this mess, when I do an ifconfig, I now have no wlan0 wereas before the reboot I did.
[05:01] <pabix> unop, I really need to learn how to use perl, it is non-understandable, but really powerful.
[05:01] <ice_cream> i only need headers by the same name and i'm good to go?
[05:01] <Cybergeek|Vista> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5433308#post5433308
[05:01] <nickrud> ice_cream yes
[05:02] <JasonWoof> bob3213243_: I don't want your file. Better open it up and see what's in there. There's a good chance it contains instructions
[05:02] <nickrud> ice_cream  linux-headers-$(uname -r) gets the currently running kernel's headers
[05:02] <wols> Rolaulten: check your logs then
[05:02] <JasonWoof> bob3213243_: if you see an icon, double-click it, if you're in the terminal, use: tar -xzf wxwhatever.tar.gz
[05:02] <unop> pabix, perl, it's like awk or sed or bash sometimes - they're cryptic too - but if you understand the syntax, it's easy
[05:02] <Rolaulten> wols: em, how, Im new to ubuntu as of this morning
[05:03] <wols> Rolaulten: the nvidia drivers from ubuntu wouldn't change your other kernel modules like wlan btw
[05:03] <bob3213243_> jasonwoof Error: Wrong architecture 'i386'
[05:03] <wols> Rolaulten: what wlan chip? what drivers?
[05:03] <pabix> unop, awk or sed are a bit less cryptic… what confuses me is the $_, the split, the +shift :)
[05:04] <Rolaulten> wols: the wlan hardware is a linksys wusb11v4....and its pluged in so thats not the issue
[05:04] <nickrud> perl is proof that verbosity is not a bad thing
[05:04] <pabix> unop, no need to explain, I will try to undersand it myself
[05:04] <wols> Rolaulten: if you think you know better, suit yourserlf
[05:04] <pabix> I have saved the command line, and will analyse it as soon as I have finished my lunch
[05:05] <unop> pabix, well, i could find cases of awk and sed oneliners where you couldn't tell what was going on - and they too have implicit variables, context sensitivity, etc
[05:05] <ice_cream> nickrud, why do i need linux-generic, if i can just grab  linux-headers-`uname -r`

[05:05] <shishio> hello guys^^
[05:05] <nickrud> ice_cream -generic ensures that you get the latest kernel, not the headers
[05:05] <Cybergeek|Vista> im desprate
[05:05] <Cybergeek|Vista> I need internet on that thing
[05:05] <wols> Cybergeek|Vista: and we get angry by spamming
[05:05] <ice_cream> nickrud, that wasnt the objective =P
[05:06] <Windsurfer619> chriswr: http://developer.pidgin.im/wiki/Using%20Pidgin#CanIskinPidgin
[05:06] <nickrud> Cybergeek|Vista there seems to be nothing at all about that on the net with linux ...
[05:06] <ice_cream> nickrud, i just wanted to change a thing or two in current one =)
[05:06] <nickrud> ice_cream you started by asking if your kernel got upgraded ;)
[05:06] <wols> !pm > Rolaulten
[05:06]  * wols puts Rolaulten on autoignore
[05:06] <nickrud> ice_cream ah,  sudo apt-get install linux-source
[05:06] <joustin> so i did an update and now on my update manage the font shows as a bunch of squares.....
[05:06] <bob3213243_> jasonwoof Error: Wrong architecture 'i386'
[05:07] <nickrud> ice_cream that will drop source in /etc/src
[05:07] <ice_cream> i was basically asking if it was changeable or not, seeing as ubuntu is not source-based
[05:07] <wols> nickrud: intersting directory that :P
[05:07] <wols> ice_cream: it is changeable but strongly discouraged
[05:07] <nickrud> ice_cream oh, it is; and wols you are mean ;) ice_cream I truly meant /usr/src, I swear :)
[05:08] <nickrud> ice_cream sudo apt-get source <whatever>
[05:08] <ice_cream> yes, but i can make changes to current one if i merely change a link to new headers
[05:09] <ice_cream> why do i need the source
[05:09] <unop> pabix, this might be of interest to you.  http://www.linux.com/feature/58689
[05:09] <ice_cream> iirc
[05:09] <lginn02> how do i extract a gzipped tar file in kde ubuntu
[05:09] <nickrud> ice_cream hm, that's not the way debian/ubuntu handles headers, unless I'm missing your point completely

[05:11] <kevinO> how do i know which video driver to use? i have an intel 945 chipset
[05:11] <wols> ice_cream: you cannot change the current one by chaning headers. you never ever change headers in the first place
[05:11] <nickrud> wols the -z isn't needed in lastest versions of tar (found through a typo)

[05:12] <fsloke> may i know has anyone got experience before install a modem in Ubuntu?
[05:12] <fsloke> new modem
[05:12] <wols> rubi: nvidia.com drivers?
[05:12] <wols> !anyone
[05:12] <Seven_Six_Two> fsloke, dial up or dsl?
[05:12] <fsloke> dail up
[05:12] <nickrud> fsloke most winmodems are very hard to get working in linux, I always recommend an external with a uart

[05:12] <fsloke> dail up modem
[05:13] <nickrud> bob3213243 did you install the 64bit version of ubuntu?
[05:13] <busbey> hello
[05:13] <wols> bob3213243_: you run amd64 probably (64bit ubuntu): the package is for 32bit tho
[05:13] <fsloke> is there got any solution?
[05:13] <rubi> wols, thanks
[05:13] <busbey> anyone know about faxing with ubuntu?
[05:13] <bob3213243_> wols it's not amd but it is a 64bit system.
[05:13] <wols> rubi: yes. by answering me
[05:13] <nickrud> !dialup | fsloke (this has the best distilled info)
[05:13] <wols> bob3213243_: then it is amd64
[05:14] <bob3213243_> wols no it's intel
[05:14] <wols> bob3213243_: your ubuntu is still amd64, no matter how you deny it. dpkg --architecture
[05:14] <Overand> Is there an automated or semi-automated system for installing to a software-raid (pro bably software raid 5) in ubuntu-server or ubuntu-alt?
[05:14] <Seven_Six_Two> bob3213243, both chipsets use amd64
[05:14] <nickrud> bob3213243 the 64bit version got started when only amd had 64bit consumer products, the name is an artifact of that timing
[05:14] <bob3213243_> wols oh. lol I thought u were saying it was an amd processor.
[05:15] <busbey> does anyone know about faxing with ubuntu
[05:15] <MasterShrek> !fax
[05:15] <MasterShrek> :(
[05:15] <Overand> 'amd64' is still a reasonable name, as the '64 bit' part of the intel chips are basically using AMD's extentions
[05:15] <wols> !info hylafax
[05:15] <fsloke> faxing just use HylaFax
[05:15] <error404notfound> how can I add a network printer using command line?
[05:15] <nickrud> busbey gtk-efax , efax, hylafax
[05:15] <Overand> much like you can call an AMD chip 'i386' etc.

[05:15] <nickrud> busbey hem, efax-gtk that is
[05:15] <kevinO> wols, i dont know exactly what to look for in that log file
[05:16] <bob3213243_> !love
[05:16] <busbey> thanks
[05:16] <nickrud> busbey gtk-efax is the easiest to set up for sending, hylafax is a really complete faxing solution

[05:16] <bob3213243_> so no way to capture video using a video cam?
[05:16] <wols> kevinO: that's unfortunate but that doesn't change the fact that it's the place to check what driver you use
[05:17] <nickrud> lginn02 you aren't in the same dir as the tar.gz when you're running that
[05:17] <ice_cream> and yet i forget how i setup ubuntu 2.6.20 server .
[05:17] <unop> lginn02, make sure you use the right path and filename there
[05:17] <kevinO> wols maybe you could give me a hint as to what im looking for
[05:17] <lginn02> so i dont run it in a terminal
[05:17] <wols> kevinO: yes, the driver name
[05:17] <fsloke> I using fax package in HylaFax
[05:17] <fsloke> but it look didn't work :(
[05:17] <JasonWoof> bob3213243_: what architecture do you have? (aka what kind of computer?)
[05:18] <kevinO> wols just anywhere?
[05:18] <lginn02> wow this stuff is confusing
[05:18] <wols> JasonWoof: the question is long settled.
[05:18] <genii> !info kino
[05:18] <wols> kevinO: in the whole file
[05:18] <Ashex> anyone know of a tinyurl plugin for pidgin?
[05:18] <Ashex> or something similar?
[05:18] <wols> lginn02: rename your file properly. simply file.tar.gz
[05:18] <nickrud> lginn02 yes you do, but when you run the command you must   cd   to the right dir. For example, if you downloaded to your desktop, you'd do:  cd ~/Desktop    (~ is shorthand for your home dir). You can see what dir you are in with   pwd
[05:18] <kevinO> wols i see I810 all over the place but i think that was the previous selected driver
[05:19] <wols> kevinO: why do you think so?
[05:19] <wols> xorg log is what is used RIGHT NOW
[05:19] <fsloke> How?
[05:19] <nickrud> fsloke you have to be sure your modem is working first.
[05:19] <jduckett> need to know how to enter wlan0 into network/interfaces manually or is there a CLI tool that will add it for me??
[05:19] <wols> jduckett: man interfaces
[05:20] <nickrud> fsloke and setting up hylafax isn't a job for the faint of heart
[05:20] <lginn02> ok ill try that im new to all this
[05:20] <wols> jduckett: or you use gnome-network-manager
[05:20] <fsloke> how to make sure the modem is working?
[05:20] <nickrud> !commandline | lginn02
[05:20] <nickrud> arg
[05:20] <jduckett> using kubuntu
[05:20] <eubey> has anyone here used ubuntu on a tablet pc?
[05:20] <wols> !cli | lginn02
[05:20] <rubi> wols, if my lspci says i have "01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GeForce 8600 GT (rev a1)" is that the "8 series" ? i can't think 8600 on the nvidia drivers site
[05:20] <fsloke> the first step is install the modem

[05:20] <wols> rubi: we do not support drivers from nvidia.com at all
[05:20] <nickrud> !bash > lginn02
[05:21] <wols> kevinO: wha has that to do with what drievr you run right now?
[05:21] <fsloke> nickrud : The problem is the modem doesn't have the linux installer...
[05:21] <rubi> wols, erm didn't you suggest i get a driver from there a few minutes ago? or  misundersttod you?
[05:21] <Seven_Six_Two> Theoretical Q: Would anyone here be willing  to pay for a subscription based technical support service that included Linux, Mac, Windows, portable devices, consoles etc?
[05:21] <wols> rubi: if you want use drivers from there you are on your own or #nvidia. also it is the reason why the drivers broke after kernel updates
[05:21] <thinman1189> how do I rotate cube in 8.04 with compiz on a laptop or change the buttons to do so? on my desktop it's the middle mouse button but I have no such button here.
[05:21] <wols> rubi: I never did
[05:21] <kevinO> wols, im trying to figure out what driver i need for my specific hardware
[05:22] <wols> kevinO: the nvidia drivers
[05:22] <Windsurfer619> Seven_Six_Two: If we wanted to pay for technical support, we wouldn't be in this channel ;)
[05:22] <nickrud> fsloke modems are not easy to set up, most of the manufacturers don't tell free software writers how the chips work, so they have to reverse engineer.
[05:22] <kevinO> wols, its an intel board with no nividia chipset
[05:22] <unop> nickrud, Seven_Six_Two's gotten under your radar
[05:22] <wols> fsloke: what modem is it and how is it connected to your PC?
[05:22] <wols> kevinO: your videocard is not from intel...
[05:23] <Seven_Six_Two> Windsurfer619, thanks. It's my belief that there are people who come here because most companies won't touch it.
[05:23] <nickrud> unop no, just a theoretical question, asked once. Could be spam, or market research. One question does not a troll make ;)
[05:23] <wols> kevinO: oops. misidentified you
[05:23] <kevinO> wols? no? intel 945?
[05:23] <rubi> wols i misunderstood you, my drivers are not from there , i just enabled "proprietary drivers " system>admin>drivers and it broke after the update

[05:24] <nickrud> unop I like to lurk. I'm a 'give'm rope' kinda guy ;)
[05:24] <Overand> Dan6688: depends on what you want to do with it.
[05:24] <Seven_Six_Two> thanks nickrud. It is market research, and I didn't know that canonical did that. I'm entering a new position as marketing director for such a company.
[05:24] <Overand> Dan6688: the biggest bottleneck will be memory, likely
[05:24] <unop> Dan6688, no, servers need shiny new rims :)
[05:25] <Overand> Dan6688: 'server' is a very, very wide category
[05:25] <wols> fsloke: that's a winmodem. possible but unlikely that it will work
[05:25] <fsloke> but now I test on my laptop it sure work... bcs it is a build in modem
[05:25] <Dan6688> Overand: thanks =) originally I was about to rip it out and have a look at it, but I think I should be getting my server before I get my new laptop
[05:25] <Overand> Dan6688: can I send you a link?
[05:25] <Dan6688> Overand: yeah I reckon lol
[05:25] <Dan6688> Overand: yup please

[05:25] <nickrud> Seven_Six_Two we get trolls coming through here selling their wares, your question seemed too respectful to be from a troll
[05:25] <fsloke> why I said that? because i can run the command at+fclass=?
[05:25] <wols> Dan6688: depends what you want to serve
[05:26] <fsloke> it give me a result ... 0,1,8
[05:26] <fsloke> class 1 mean can fax
[05:27] <fsloke> how it is?
[05:27] <nickrud> fsloke sounds good, you've got a decent internal modem. Setting up hylafax includes setting up some seriously low level stuff. Their documentation (hylafax-doc) tells you how to do it.
[05:27] <Seven_Six_Two> nickrud, selling what? Tech support? I can see why, but I wouldn't spam irc. People here have given me far too much to do that.
[05:27] <fsloke> how is it?
[05:27] <fsloke> dear nickrud, i a bit confuse with the documentation
[05:28] <fsloke> etc/inittab ==> no such file in my Ubuntu
[05:28] <fsloke> :(
[05:28] <nickrud> fsloke yeah, things have changed. /etc/event.d is the replacement for that. You can see examples in there
[05:28] <Dan6688> wols: yeah I think I'll give it a try, thanks
[05:29] <fsloke> :)
[05:29] <Overand> ls
[05:30] <Overand> oi you people, get out of my terminal =]
[05:30] <Dan6688> Overand: LOL!
[05:30] <Seven_Six_Two> nickrud, it looks like the support offered is geared primarily towards enterprise users, but I'm going to look in to it a bit farther
[05:30] <prueba> hello
[05:31] <Overand> Dan6688: By the way - I would strongly suggest you actually get the 'server edition'
[05:31] <Overand> Dan6688: you don't need the overhead that having xwindows would cause

[05:33] <fsloke> nickrud: Is there need a Fax machine in order to fax?
[05:33] <fsloke> or only use the Hylafax only. it already can fax?
[05:33] <fsloke> Hylafax => talk to => modem, modem then Fax
[05:33] <snarkster> fsloke: yes hylahfax can send a fax if you have a fax modem
[05:33] <Overand> snarkster: did you read the README or INSTALL file?
[05:34] <LSD|Ninja> fsloke: if you have a fax modem and fax software then there's no need for a seperate fax machine. Assuming the Fax software works of course
[05:34] <snarkster> overand yes i did.. i getting a python.h error
[05:34] <fsloke> ic
[05:34] <Overand> snarkster: try installing python-dev perhaps
[05:34] <Overand> that's a TOTAL shot in the dark though
[05:35] <snarkster> hmmm i just did apt-get install python* and it said it was installed
[05:35] <Overand> snarkster: 95% of the time, issues with compiling software is 'dependency issues' - not having the right software and software-dev packages installed
[05:35] <Overand> snarkster: aptitude show python-dev and see if it's there.
[05:35] <LSD|Ninja> Under Windows, Fax software tyically takes the form of a printer driver meaning you can fax from any program you can print from. No idea if Linux has that level of integration though (My guess would be no).
[05:36] <glitsj16> plouffe: the "-o" switch in grep does exactly that
[05:36] <fyrmedic> How do I set up only certain users to use a squid proxy on another machine?
[05:36] <Overand> LSD|Ninja: it is
[05:36] <LinuxKitten> hello
[05:36] <plouffe> glitsj16: thanks will check
[05:36] <snarkster> crap... python-dev wasnt installed
[05:36] <Overand> LSD|Ninja: take al ook at this screenie http://blog.mypapit.net/2007/09/hp-officejet-5680-how-to-send-fax-from-ubuntu-linux-computer.html
[05:36] <LinuxKitten> how do i get Xsublim and VMware?
[05:37] <LinuxKitten> OVERAND?
[05:37] <Overand> LinuxKitten: try 'virtualbox' first
[05:37] <Overand> =]
[05:37] <Overand> hi LinuxKitten
[05:37] <LinuxKitten> k
[05:37] <LinuxKitten> hihi
[05:37] <LinuxKitten> how about xsublim?
[05:37] <Overand> never heard of it
[05:37] <LinuxKitten> heh
[05:37] <Overand> oh man
[05:37] <snarkster> virtualbox is nice, but need commercial versipon to have usb support
[05:38] <Overand> LinuxKitten: you might have to compile it
[05:38] <LinuxKitten> ugh
[05:38] <Overand> LinuxKitten: doesn't look like there's a package for it out there
[05:39] <LinuxKitten> it should come with xscreensaver
[05:39] <Overand> it doesn't
[05:39] <Overand> it looks like xsublim is not maintained
[05:39] <eduardo_> ji
[05:39] <eduardo_> hi
[05:39] <LinuxKitten> john says it doesn't come with the binary
[05:40] <synapse9857> Anyone know why I can only connect to unsecured wireless networks with ndiswrapper as my driver?
[05:40] <Overand> LinuxKitten: hence my suggestion that you  will need to compile it =P
[05:40] <eduardo_> does anyone already used ubuntu mint ?
[05:40] <Overand> LinuxKitten: it looks like it's an xscreensaver 'hack' from several years ago
[05:40] <prueba> ubuntu mint?
[05:40] <LinuxKitten> ahh
[05:40] <prueba> what do u mean??
[05:41] <LinuxKitten> how do i get it?
[05:41] <Overand> LinuxKitten: this is not probably a totally straightforward task
[05:41] <eduardo_> yeah !
[05:41] <eduardo_> don't u know ?
[05:41] <LinuxKitten> ugh
[05:41] <Overand> LinuxKitten: searching for 'xsublim' on google is not turning up a lot of good stuff
[05:41] <Dan6688> Overand: I just joined that website o' yours =]
[05:41] <Overand> Dan6688: oh?  weird
[05:41] <Overand> it's mostly dead now
[05:42] <Overand> has been since late 2003 =]
[05:42] <Overand> iot was offline for uh
[05:42] <makson4l> I'm working ona macbook and I repartitioned my drive and used EFI to duel boot into ubuntu.. I want to resize my HFS partition (osx) so I can make a fat32 drive so I can share databetween both systems How can i do this. The mac utility is failing i think because it sees a linux partition
[05:42] <FloodBot1> Overand: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[05:42] <Overand> Dan6688: that site's been offlin e for about 4 years, heh.
[05:42] <Dan6688> Overand: Ugh, okay then, I didn't bother checking the date of the last posts lol
[05:42] <Overand> Dan6688: people are trying to revive it, so have a blast
[05:42] <Dan6688> Overand: so is THAT the performance I should be expecting? =P
[05:43] <Overand> Dan6688: heh./
[05:43] <Overand> LinuxKitten: You will probably want to get the xscreensaver sources and see if the xsublim hack still exists
[05:43] <unop> makson4l, just use a HFS/HFS+ drive - linux is quite cable of reading/writing to it
[05:44] <Blaqlight> anyone have any experience with fluxbox?
[05:44] <makson4l> I read that i would have to shutoff journeling on my osx partition in order for ubunuty to write to it
[05:44] <makson4l> it can read fine
[05:44] <unop> Blaqlight, yep
[05:44] <synapse9857> I have a bcm4036 wireless card using ndiswrapper. I can't connect to a WPA-secured, but it will connect to the same network if security is disabled. I have wpasupplicant installed. What could be wrong?
[05:44] <Blaqlight> for the life of me I can't seem to figure out how to regereate the menus
[05:45] <Seven_Six_Two> haha. I went to read the SLA on the Canonical site and ended up buying 10 lanyards...
[05:46] <unop> makson4l,  there's a section here about disabling the journal - http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_hfsplus
[05:46] <NeoGeo64> Has anyone tried the Flock browser?
[05:46] <unop> Blaqlight, revert menu's totally? recreate from scratch?
[05:46] <legend2440> Blaqlight: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=371144
[05:46] <nickrud> hm, what's the osx channel on freenode?
[05:47] <fyrmedic> Nobody on the proxy server for certain users only?
[05:47] <Blaqlight> make them find all of my programs, they found some of them but not all of them. I need to regenerate them so that it will find all the applications on my computer.
[05:47] <jynx> hmm?
[05:47] <makson4l> unop: I did not want to disable it though...
[05:48] <makson4l> I would rather build a fat32 partition and just share my files between both OS's
[05:48] <Blaqlight> makson4l: why not use ntfs if your going to do that.
[05:48] <unop> Blaqlight, he's sharing between OSX and ubuntu
[05:48] <Blaqlight> atleast ntfs has encrytion
[05:48] <makson4l> Yes
[05:48] <Blaqlight> oh
[05:48] <Blaqlight> oops
[05:49] <makson4l> Im the only one accessing the data anyways its just going to be VM files
[05:49] <Blaqlight> unop Ive also looked in /usr/bin where fluxbox and the rest of its programs its not there either.
[05:50] <makson4l> unop: So is there a TOOL in ubunutu for this/
[05:50] <Blaqlight> silly me assuming that everyone wants to switch from windows :D
[05:50] <unop> makson4l,  so make one - i believe you can use gparted to resize partitions on EFI disks too

[05:54] <blackrabbit> Hello, is it possible to run two installations of Flash on one Ubuntu install? I have the nonfree flash plugin installed for all users, but for the one sudo user I wish to install the latest beta 10 of Flash without having this conflict with the version 9 installed system wide, is this possible please?
[05:54] <kracker> with LogLevel debug
[05:54] <kracker> still it is less than clear ware the error is occuring
[05:55] <kracker> any suggestions would be really helpful
[05:55] <fyrmedic> Is there a way to set proxy filtering at the system level for certain users and not others?

[05:55] <Vereux0> I keep getting a "Problem with Auto playback" error on skype. Anyone know how to fix this?
[05:56] <Blaqlight> unop: apparently there is a command sudo updatemenus in ubuntu.
[05:57] <Blaqlight> lol it didn't work for this application though.
[05:57] <kracker> i am using only a static hello world index.php file and trying to redirect all requests into this file
[05:57] <legend2440> Blaqlight: the command is      sudo update-menus
[05:58] <kracker> i'm fairly certain that my error lies either within my apache, mod_rewrite config
[05:58] <unop> Blaqlight, update-menus only works for the opendesktop menu system - not really applicable to fluxbox unless you use a script to generate a fluxbox-style menu file afterwards
[05:58] <kracker> i've use mod_rewrite a lot with php4 without these issues and yet on this fresh build of ubuntu on this server i'm bashing my head into this err

[05:59] <Odd-rationale> what is the default passwd for the livecd?
[05:59] <unop> blackrabbit, users can install plugins directly within firefox and not affect the system
[06:00] <unop> blackrabbit, but i guess you will have to temporarily disable the system wide flash plugin, run firefox as the user, install flash and then enable the system-wide flash plugin again
[06:01] <unop> Odd-rationale, don't think there is a passwd
[06:01] <Vereux0> I keep getting a "Problem with Auto playback" error on skype. Anyone know how to fix this?
[06:01] <Odd-rationale> unop: how about for ssh connection?
[06:01] <blackrabbit> unop, hello thanks for the help, by disabling the system wide flash plugin do you mean uninstalling it or removing the link within the sudo account?
[06:02] <blackrabbit> unop, if I knew the exact instructions I could disable it for the sudo user while it still remains for the other users, and install Flash 10 beta for myself
[06:02] <unop> blackrabbit, move it using root.   sudo -mv /usr/lig/mozilla/plugins/libflash*.so{,.bkp}
[06:02] <jpastore> evolution is giving me a problem. I had some connectivity issues and not it's stuck trying to resync with the imap server. I tried killing the process, and rebooting...can nolonger check mail...what should I do?
[06:02] <Odd-rationale> unop: i have a livecd, that i want to ssh into. i installed openssh-server. i just need the passwd...
[06:02] <blackrabbit> unop, thank you
[06:02] <unop> Odd-rationale, you'll need to set a passwd then
[06:03] <blackrabbit> unop, though wouldn't this move it for all users?
[06:03] <unop> blackrabbit, sorry, mistake there.     sudo -mv /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflash*.so{,.bkp}
[06:03] <neozen> someone else getting 404s from the medibuntu repos?
[06:03] <blackrabbit> unop, actually, I have Seamonkey installed
[06:03] <Odd-rationale> unop: how? you need the current passwd to change the passwd...
[06:03] <unop> blackrabbit, yes, move it back when you are done installing flash for yourself
[06:03] <blackrabbit> unop, I could specify Flash 10 for that and not mess with FF3 right
[06:04] <blackrabbit> unop, thanks
[06:04] <unop> Odd-rationale, err no, use root to your advantage.   sudo passwd $USER
[06:04] <Odd-rationale> unop: ok will try. thanks!
[06:04] <unop> blackrabbit, if you use seamonkey - you might need to use the right path instead.
[06:05] <unop> blackrabbit, might be /usr/lib/seamonkey/plugins/ ... not sure
[06:05] <blackrabbit> unop, thanks I will test this with custom localized installs of browsers
[06:05] <blackrabbit> unop, thanks!
[06:05] <synapse9857>  I have a bcm4036 wireless card using ndiswrapper. I can't connect to a WPA-secured, but it will connect to the same network if security is disabled. I have wpasupplicant installed. What could be wrong?
[06:05] <lginn02> is there a special theme manager for kde
[06:06] <jpastore> evolution is giving me a problem. I had some connectivity issues and not it's stuck trying to resync with the imap server. I tried killing the process, and rebooting...can nolonger check mail...what should I do?
[06:07] <legend2440> s_spiff: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/22690
[06:07] <nickrud> jpastore I'd delete the imap server and re-add. Not like you'll lose any mail ;)
[06:07] <s_spiff> legend2440: thanks, will check it out
[06:08] <nickrud> jpastore maybe try using thunderbird to connect, to be sure it's not at the server
[06:08] <jpastore> nickrud, I can connect via webmail
[06:09] <jpastore> I'll try that though...thanks...I already tried reinstalling packages to see if that was the case it was not
[06:09] <nickrud> jpastore I've had situations where webmail worked and server didn't, & the reverse. Today, as a matter of fact
[06:09] <jmazaredo> i have used the alternate cd of ubuntu i can see the option physical volume for RAID while partitioning

[06:10] <prueba> hi
[06:10] <prueba> im new at this
[06:10] <s_spiff> legend2440: i had come across that, but it asks to convert the .rpms .. which again are for i386.. and not amd64. converting them is something I don't know.
[06:10] <prueba> need help
[06:10] <talntid> you *may* be able to adjust the hue to make them green...
[06:11] <prueba> :-$
[06:11] <synapse9857> RazorBeamz: If anywhere, gnome-look.org
[06:11] <nickrud> !ask | prueba
[06:11] <jpastore> nickrud, well I just tried deleting the impa account and readding
[06:12] <jpastore> nickrud, not getting anything back...let me try restarting the mail server ... =)
[06:12] <synapse9857> whats your issue, prueba?
[06:12] <prueba> hi
[06:13] <synapse9857> hi
[06:13] <prueba> i have a problem playing wmv
[06:13] <bullgard4> What is the reason that one could download tthis morning so many new Evolution package versions?
[06:14] <synapse9857> prueba: what program are you using to play the wmv?
[06:14] <prueba> actaully
[06:14] <prueba> i downloaded the wine
[06:14] <prueba> and wine doors
[06:14] <prueba> and installed the wmp9
[06:14] <lginn02> is there a shortcut key for terminal
[06:15] <prueba> but doesnt work
[06:15] <jpastore> nickrud, so I can RDP into my office and IMAP is fine., webmail is fine
[06:15] <jpastore> evolution is screwde
[06:15] <prueba> and i tried 2 download the codecs but i couldnt :(
[06:15] <synapse9857> prueba: WINE is finicky, if you want to play WMV files, I would do so from linux itself. I recommend VLC as a media player.
[06:15] <nickrud> jpastore you can try removing ~/.evolution. I'm just now trying evolution with imap again, I've had issues in the past. I really like evolution though.
[06:16] <jpastore> nickrud, will that destroy my contacts?
[06:16] <bullgard4> Why do GNOME develpers replace the  Rendering Engine of Epiphany from Gecko to the  WebKit render engine?
[06:16] <prueba> and ill need 2 download codecs?
[06:16] <Odd-rationale> how do i check on which device grub is installed on?
[06:16] <prymal> I think the issues with evolution and IMAP are dependant on the server.
[06:16] <nickrud> jpastore yep. That's why I keep them in local ldap. Many call that overkill, but I like the data abstraction
[06:17] <jpastore> nickrud, ok I just moved .evolution to .evo for now to test...
[06:17] <nickrud> jpastore have you tried using thunderbird? It's imap seems rock solid
[06:17] <synapse9857> prueba: VLC plays almost everything, though I know some codecs are proprietary and thus ubuntu will not include them. I think it should work alright without downloading codecs.
[06:18] <proqesi> what is the command to launch the restricted driver manager from the commandline?
[06:18] <jpastore> nickrud, yea but lightning sucks and evolution has a syncml client that I use to sync to outlook and my crack berry through scheduleworld
[06:18] <meoblast001> how do i change my graphics driver in Ubuntu 8.04?
[06:18] <nickrud> jpastore yeah, evo is a very nice client
[06:19] <nogagplz> meoblast001: Modify /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[06:19] <meoblast001> nogagplz: doesnt that turn out bad though
[06:19] <meoblast001> ok ill try
[06:19] <prueba> kool
[06:19] <prueba> thanx man
[06:19] <meoblast001> it used to be easier
[06:19] <meoblast001> before Hardy
[06:19] <nogagplz> Nah it probably still is easy
[06:20] <meoblast001> nogagplz: what do i change
[06:20] <nogagplz> I'm just used to the not very noob-friendly ways :D
[06:20] <nogagplz> What is your videocard
[06:20] <Odd-rationale> proqesi: jockey
[06:20] <meoblast001> nogagplz: im not a noob but at 1 in the morning i dont feel like editing conf files
[06:21] <meoblast001> nogagplz: its using an Intel one currently i figured out i have an ATI MOBILITY RADEON X300 and installed the drivers but cant apply them
[06:21] <nogagplz> Okay then sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[06:21] <meoblast001> nogag: an intel driver that is
[06:22] <TornadoChas3r> Hey i need help seting up Post fix with Webmin it does not want to send out mail
[06:22] <TornadoChas3r> can anyone help?
[06:23] <meoblast001> nogagplz: it didnt ask any good questions.... jsut stuff about my keyboard
[06:24] <jpastore> nickrud, syncevolution baby...brought everything back from scheduleworld except the mail which was imap...lot less complicated than ldap =) may want to looking into it if you need to sync multiple devices or just back up offsite to something with a web interface.... http://www.scheduleworld.com
[06:24] <meoblast001> im gonna restart xorg
[06:25] <nickrud> jpastore I'll look into it. But since I went to all the trouble of setting up ldap, I don't have to spend any more time on it ;)
[06:26] <s3a_> are pentium 3 cpus i686?
[06:27] <nickrud> s3a yes
[06:27] <meoblast001> how do i change my graphics card to fglrx
[06:27] <meoblast001> i cant figure it out
[06:27] <meoblast001> its using intel
[06:27] <meoblast001> and i have an ATI
[06:27] <nickrud> s3a pentium II and later
[06:27] <FloodBot1> meoblast001: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[06:27] <meoblast001> sorry
[06:27] <nogagplz> Okay that's clearer meoblast001, Pastebin your /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[06:27] <meoblast001> i get used to IM speak
[06:28] <nickrud> meoblast001 put a copy of /var/log/Xorg.0.log as well
[06:28] <s3a_> nickrud: so i should go for i686 over i386 for speed gains?
[06:28] <meoblast001> ok
[06:28] <nickrud> s3a yes. But for ubuntu purposes, i386 packages are the ones you want. They won't even run on an i386 anymore ;)
[06:30] <meoblast001> nickrud: nogagplz: http://pastebin.com/d61f2b1ee
[06:30] <jezez> can someone help? when i try to patch my driver with a .diff file, it says HUNKS failed. how do i fix this
[06:30] <bullgard4> What is the reason that one could download tthis morning so many new Evolution package versions?
[06:31] <nickrud> meoblast001 do you have two cards? Cuz X is using an intel chip to run the display
[06:31] <nickrud> meoblast001 915M to be exact
[06:31] <meoblast001> nickrud: i dont know but my GPU runs at unbelievably slow speeds right now
[06:31] <bullgard4> Why are GNOME develpers replacing the  Rendering Engine of Epiphany from Gecko with the  WebKit render engine?
[06:31] <meoblast001> online specs say its an ATI
[06:32] <nickrud> meoblast001 I'm not familiar with intel, and obviously online doesn't match hardware
[06:32] <meoblast001> ATI MOBILITY RADEON X300 is what it says
[06:32] <nickrud> bullgard4 webkit is supposed to be faster, it's an experimental thing
[06:32] <Chaotic_Descent> hey... does anyone know why FireFox is taking like 5 minutes to connect to my own router? it makes no sense. I thought it was my BitTorrent connection but I paused it with no effect. unless pausing isn't enough...
[06:32] <meoblast001> look online for Dell Inspiron 6000 specs
[06:32] <nickrud> meoblast001 line 366 in your pastebin says otherwise
[06:33] <meoblast001> nickrud: O_o
[06:33] <bullgard4> nickrud: Ah! Thank you very much for explaining.
[06:33] <meoblast001> old versions of ubuntu used to let me test each driver
[06:33] <nickrud> bullgard4 it's based on the same engine that safari uses, iirc
[06:34] <meoblast001> nickrud: how do i test if a driver works?
[06:34] <meoblast001> nickrud: and then revert back if it fails
[06:34] <nickrud> meoblast001 if you are getting video, it's working ;)
[06:34] <nogagplz> meoblast001: glxinfo |grep direct
[06:34] <nogagplz> glxgears running smoothly also gives an inkling
[06:35] <nickrud> meoblast001 and you can revert to a default setup (as seen by ubuntu) with  sudo dpkg-reconfigure -pcritical xserver-xorg
[06:35] <meoblast001> nickrud: is Nexuiz supposed to run at "i cant play this game im tired of this" speeds at its lowest settings on an Intel 915 GM?
[06:35] <nickrud> meoblast001 I've never had an intel chip, so I can't really say much about them
[06:35] <bullgard4> nickrud: I am no Apple user. Is Safari famous in the Linux world?
[06:35] <meoblast001> Safari isnt available for Linux
[06:36] <nickrud> bullgard4 no. konqueror uses the same base code as well
[06:36] <{Matteo}> other way around
[06:36] <meoblast001> konqueror doesnt work with myspace
[06:36] <{Matteo}> safari got its engine from konqueror
[06:36] <nogagplz> Konqueror does work with Myspace
[06:36] <meoblast001> nogagplz: those new dropdown boxes they have dont display
[06:37] <chad> hoo
[06:37] <nogagplz> Have you got flash/java installed ?
[06:37] <meoblast001> nogagplz: not sure about the javascript
[06:37] <meoblast001> let's check

[06:45] <bullgard4> What is the reason that one could download tthis morning so many new Evolution package versions?
[06:46] <wbmj> Bullgard: probably security updates
[06:47] <drako> anybody know how 2 play
[06:47] <drako> wmv
[06:47] <drako> plis
[06:47] <fsloke> ?
[06:47] <wbmj> drac: you need the w32codecs
[06:47] <boGGdy> anyone feels like helping me with 'GRUB Loading Stage1.5Read Error'?
[06:47] <Flannel> !restricted | drako
[06:47] <fsloke> is it the /etc/event.d == /etc/inttab in ubuntu?
[06:48] <Flannel> fsloke: Not quite, but similar.
[06:48] <drako> thanxs wbmj but u can tell me where i can download them
[06:48] <drako> pls
[06:48] <{Matteo}> I get mine from medibuntu repos
[06:48] <Flannel> drako: Read the page, it covers it.
[06:49] <synapse9856> drako: synaptic
[06:49] <{Matteo}> so does anybody have any idea and/or suggestion?
[06:49] <phantasmik> anyone develop C# on linux
[06:50] <phantasmik> is it an easy transition to develop in gtk
[06:50] <Flannel> phantasmik: Those are entirely different things.  One is a language, the other is a GUI framework.
[06:51] <phantasmik> what am I thinking of then
[06:51] <phantasmik> so gtk is like .NET
[06:51] <Flannel> phantasmik: Um... sort of.  Except just for a GUI/associated things
[06:51] <phantasmik> what language am I thinking of, i saw examples and it looked similar to C#
[06:51] <unop> mono
[06:51] <drako> yeah tahnx
[06:51] <Flannel> phantasmik: Java perhaps.  C# looks a lot like java
[06:52] <drako> i trid that page before
[06:52] <drako> but
[06:52] <Flannel> !enter | drako
[06:52] <drako> thes an error
[06:52] <{Matteo}> C# is Microsoft's attempt at competing with Java
[06:52] <drako> this error...
[06:52] <phantasmik> well I know java a bit, wasnt java I remember it was like a gtk something
[06:52] <drako> E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable)
[06:52] <drako> E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?
[06:52] <crdlb> phantasmik: specifically, mono with the gtk-sharp (gtk#) bindings
[06:52] <phantasmik> ohhh thats what it was
[06:53] <wbmj> drako go to medibuntu home page and follow the howto link
[06:53] <{Matteo}> *tries again* I have a little problem with an GE HO98064 webcam, the built in mic is recognized but the video isn't. I get this in dmesg: [101813.704271] /build/buildd/linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.24-2.6.24/debian/build/build-generic/media/ov511/ov511.c: No decompressor available
[06:53] <fsloke> ok Flannel
[06:53] <Flannel> phantasmik: there are GTK bindings for a number of languages.  C, C++, python, etc, etc.
[06:53] <klos> anyone knows an application to open .idx files with
[06:53] <boGGdy> guys, I have problems with booting ubuntu. anyone available to help me?
[06:53] <phantasmik> interesting, I need to do some more research
[06:54] <phantasmik> thanks for the info
[06:54] <klos> its a historical log file, usually opened with automation software
[06:54] <Odd-rationale> can someone with 8.04 generate the failsafe xorg.conf file (using vesa)? i'm not on ubuntu atm...
[06:54] <klos> Wonderware InTouch or WorkSmart Automation ReportBuilder
[06:54] <Flannel> drako: That error is due to you either a) having another package manager (update-manager, synaptic, etc) open, or not using sudo.
[06:54] <klos> HMI Historical Log Index File
[06:55] <klos> thats the file type
[06:56] <fsloke> I installing the HylaFax now...

[06:58] <Flannel> Kinetix: you might try checking this out: http://www.linmodems.org/
[06:58] <fsloke> inside the /etc/event.d got a lot of file
[06:58] <Kinetix> Alright, thanks
[06:59] <fsloke> such as control-alt-delete, logd, rc0, rc1, rc2, rc3, rc4, rc5, tty1, tty2, tty3, ...
[06:59] <fsloke> which one is similiar with inittab?
[07:02] <boGGdy> have mercy for a noob like me: I can't make my ubuntu boot
[07:02] <Raheem> boGGdy, please be specific, so that others can help u ..
[07:03] <boGGdy> ok, I installed ubuntu on a IDE hdd, nothing else on it
[07:03] <Flannel> fsloke: What are you trying to do?
[07:03] <boGGdy> when it restarts, I get grub loading stage1.5read error
[07:04] <bullgard4> In what part of make menuconfig will I find framebuffer font size?
[07:04] <wbmj> boGGdy: do you have more than one hd
[07:04] <boGGdy> wbmj, only one. i have removed the windows one (sata) to not mess up smething
[07:04] <synapse9856> Is anyone running with ndiswrapper on a WPA enabled network?
[07:05] <wbmj> boGGdy: is your BIOS set to IDE
[07:06] <boGGdy> wbmj, like... to work with IDE devices?
[07:06] <Datatrek> Hardy needs 384 memory.. most computers come minimum 256.  Willit upgrade, and run.. if I use Gutsy now?
[07:07] <omni_2> got a weird network situation.. I haven't made any modifications since my last boot to Ubuntu but this time when I booted up the network doesn't load
[07:07] <wbmj> boGGdy: yes...might be that the BIOS is setting the drive to SATA
[07:07] <boGGdy> wbmj, in the POST screen i see my hdd on IDE
[07:07] <omni_2> when I manually open Administration -> Network it shows "Wireless connection" in the list
[07:07] <Flannel> drako: It needs 384 for the liveCD, it recommends 384 too.  Minimal requirements are lower.  You'll be fine.  You might (for everyday use) want to disable some stuff and slim it down, but it'll work.
[07:07] <omni_2> when I go to the properties it's set as Roaming enabled
[07:08] <omni_2> but no icon in the status bar
[07:08] <Gohalien> Any idea what program I can use to simulate a mouse click macro ?
[07:08] <Datatrek> 2 more sticks for 2gig will cost me about $60
[07:08] <omni_2> if I switch to manually enter the network info, and I click on the drop-down for ESSID to list the wireless networks in range, it lists my network and a bunch of others in the area
[07:09] <Flannel> Datatrek: It needs 384 for the liveCD, it recommends 384 too.  Minimal requirements are lower.  You'll be fine.  You might (for everyday use) want to disable some stuff and slim it down, but it'll work.
[07:09] <omni_2> so I know the wireless is working, it just won't go onto the status bar and it won't actually _connect_
[07:09] <unop> !info xmacro
[07:09] <Datatrek> anyone want a used 256 stick?
[07:09] <boGGdy> wbmj, I checked the partitions. they have /dev/sda1 and /dev/sda2. shouldn't they be hda1 and hda2?
[07:09] <omni_2> anyone have any insight?
[07:09] <unop> Gohalien, xmacro seems to do it
[07:09] <Datatrek> just that sorta thing.. that is wrong.. (imo)
[07:09] <{Matteo}> my wireless on my laptop crashes when connecting through the gnome applet, i have to connect through using iwconfig and dhclient
[07:10] <Gohalien> unop, i tried to use xmacro, but I failed to do a mouse click =(
[07:11] <Datatrek> {Matteo} do you use shares??
[07:11] <omni_2> is there a text file anywhere that I can manually edit to enter my connection details?
[07:11] <unop> Gohalien, there was something else, i can't remember the name anymore
[07:11] <unop> omni_2, /etc/network/interfaces
[07:12] <{Matteo}> samba shares? yeah
[07:12] <Datatrek> {Matteo} hardy version?
[07:12] <bullgard4> In what part of make menuconfig will I find framebuffer font size?
[07:12] <{Matteo}> happens on kubuntu, xubuntu and ubuntu versions of hardy
[07:12] <Datatrek> {Matteo} - I just read the Release notes.. go re-read them
[07:13] <{Matteo}> meh its a minor problem, not worried about that
[07:13] <{Matteo}> I just need to get my Webcam working
[07:13] <Datatrek> something on SAMBA, and use direct url, or location
[07:13] <boGGdy> wbmj, still here?
[07:14] <will01> anyone know of a package of gadmin httpd?
[07:14] <wbmj> boGGdy: yes...I'm trying to come up with the easiest way to fix GRUB
[07:14] <{Matteo}> it happens whether or not I'm using shares though
[07:14] <Datatrek> unetbootin.. supergrub?
[07:14] <boGGdy> wbmj, you seen my q about the partitions?
[07:14] <omni_2> unop: thanks :)
[07:14] <fsloke> Flannel: I try to install the Hyfax
[07:14] <fsloke> Hylafax application
[07:15] <wbmj> boGGdy: kernel uses sda now for most hd configurations
[07:15] <boGGdy> wbmj, ok, i thought it was helping you  :(
[07:16] <CostaRicanQuaker> is there a page that explains the commands?
[07:16] <wbmj> boGGdy: ubuntu boots live and installed correct
[07:16] <CostaRicanQuaker> like i know what lshw does and sudo but what do they mean, is there a page?
[07:17] <fde> CostaRicanQuaker: man lshw or man sudo ?
[07:17] <fde> (or just whatis)
[07:17] <lebutcherpc> hey what does lshw mean
[07:17] <Raheem> wbmj, just to make sure, u said u removed the sata drive just not to mess up.. did u do that after u installed ubuntu or before installing ..
[07:17] <fde> list hard ware lebutcherpc
[07:17] <wbmj> CostaRicanQuaker: man lshw and man sudo in terminal
[07:17] <CostaRicanQuaker> man?
[07:17] <avis> anyone have a solution for sbackup where it might restore from backup and still preserve original permissions ?
[07:17] <Raheem> oops.. wbmj not for u
[07:18] <wbmj> Raheem: not me boGGdy
[07:18] <CostaRicanQuaker> i mean, is there some page that lists the meaning of the commands
[07:18] <boGGdy> wbmj, yes, it does boot from live cd and I think it's installed correct, how do I know that?
[07:18] <fde> CostaRicanQuaker: manual ... Applications > Accessories > Terminal 'man man'
[07:18] <CostaRicanQuaker> that isn't a tutorial but that explains what hte commands do
[07:18] <boGGdy> Raheem, was that for me?
[07:18] <Raheem> boGGdy, yes
[07:18] <unop> Gohalien, this might be of interest to you.  http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=623223
[07:18] <Gohalien> ty
[07:19] <CostaRicanQuaker> fde: thankyou
[07:19] <boGGdy> Raheem, I removed the sata drive before I installed ubuntu
[07:19] <lebutcherpc> hey im new to linux
[07:19] <fde> boGGdy: what exactly is your issue?
[07:19] <boGGdy> I didn't want to format a wrong HDD
[07:19] <wbmj> boGGdy did you reconnect the drive before rebooting?
[07:19] <Raheem> !grub | boGGdy just to see if it can help
[07:20] <boGGdy> fde, grub loading stage1.5read error - that's what I get when it tries to boot from hdd
[07:20] <unop> CostaRicanQuaker, whatis helps too. e.g.  whatis lshw
[07:20] <unop> lshw (1)             - list hardware
[07:20] <fsloke> hallo
[07:20] <Raheem> fsloke, hello
[07:20] <boGGdy> Raheem, I never reconnected the sata back
[07:20] <CostaRicanQuaker> unop: is this available online though? i can't go further on the terminal after man man
[07:20] <fsloke> you all really an expert in Ubuntu
[07:20] <fde> boGGdy: chances are the drives are named differently now... sdb instead of sda if the ide drive is on primary master
[07:21] <unop> CostaRicanQuaker, what do you mean?
[07:21] <fde> fsloke: many are knowledgeable here, yes.
[07:21] <CostaRicanQuaker> unop: i just figured out that i can go down with arrows
[07:21] <boGGdy> fde, the ide is on sec slave
[07:22] <unop> CostaRicanQuaker, all the movement keys ought to work. pageup, pagedwn, home, end, etc
[07:22] <wbmj> boGGdy: need to make the drive master
[07:22] <lebutcherpc> one question can i play counter strike in linux
[07:22] <lebutcherpc> or is that a stupid question
[07:22] <boGGdy> wbmj, and install again?
[07:22]  * fde still hasn't seen a complete answer to his question about what is even the problem...
[07:23] <{Matteo}> wine is god.
[07:23] <fde> wait, nm
[07:23] <{Matteo}> *tries again* I have a little problem with an GE HO98064 webcam, the built in mic is recognized but the video isn't. I get this in dmesg: [101813.704271] /build/buildd/linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.24-2.6.24/debian/build/build-generic/media/ov511/ov511.c: No decompressor available. does anyone know what steps I should take to get this working with video?
[07:23] <boGGdy> fde, are you talking about my problem?
[07:23] <fde> boGGdy: You need to figure out a way to give us the drive layout... you still have the livecd around that you installed from?
[07:23] <Raheem> boGGdy, if i were you, i would boot from the livecd again, type sudo fdisk -l to find out the drive letter for my drive, then sudo grub-install drive letter .. but, before u do that, please wait for someone to confirm that it si the correct step
[07:24] <boGGdy> fde, I sure do. it boots perfectly from the live cd
[07:24] <unop> lebutcherpc, you can .. there's a little extra work to do tho.  a search in your favourite search engine ought to get you to a good howto
[07:24] <fde> Raheem: thing is, he'd need to set up a chroot to accomplish that.
[07:24] <Datatrek> {Matteo} a decompressor.. is like what you need.  The is like, a video codec
[07:24] <fsloke> fde: I try to install HylaFax
[07:24] <Datatrek> You need a set of video codecs to view the video you have there
[07:25] <fsloke> Using the Synaptic Package Manager
[07:25] <wbmj> boGGdy: that's why I didn't want to recommend fixing Grub
[07:25] <lebutcherpc> thanks for the tip unop
[07:25] <fsloke> I just check the HylaFax aservere and client then the Ubuntu start installing
[07:25] <Mycah_> Anyone know a good linux IRCD? :]
[07:25] <bullgard4>  /.config includes the lines: "# CONFIG_FONTS is not set; CONFIG_FONT_8x16=y; CONFIG_FONT_8x8=y." How to tell my framebuffer console to use th 8x8 font?
[07:25] <fde> boGGdy: Ok... boot to it now, connect to IRC via pidgin or something, then let me know when you're back in the live environment please.
[07:25] <fde> fsloke: I have no idea about HylaFax... you were told about gtk-efax and hylafax-doc
[07:25] <kevinO> hello, anyone know why my login screen and desktop are different resolutions?
[07:26] <Datatrek> can someone explain the use of the video codec.. in here.. with gnome m-player, mebe?

[07:27] <fde> chriswr: try audacious instead if I was you.
[07:27] <{Matteo}> hmmm
[07:27] <fde> chriswr: XMMS hasn't been maintained for more than 5 years.
[07:27] <ermac0> mic1394, it depends why are you trying to restore
[07:27] <microwaver> Hello peeps, it seems that my ctrl+a doesn't function anymore in FireFox.
[07:27] <Datatrek> {Matteo} <fde> Datatrek: sudo aptitude install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[07:27] <{Matteo}> i have that already
[07:28] <unop> fde, 5 years is a bit exaggerated .. but yea, it's at the end of it's life
[07:28] <fde> {Matteo}: what movie player you trying with?
[07:28] <kevinO> ermac0, im sorry the gdm and desktop resolutions are different. my login screen is partially off to the left of the screen.

[07:28] <ermac0> chriswr, what about it
[07:28] <user4> hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
[07:29] <fde> unop: It has received no new features in more than 5 years... just the odd patch.
[07:29] <chriswr> ermac0: nvm about the xmms
[07:29] <mic1394> ermac0 am not sure what happened actually, i am using ubuntu as a guest os in virtualbox i installed xchat 2.8.6 rebooted and now everything is messed up.. as if virtualbox additions are no longer installed the screen is too small and i can stuff
[07:29] <bullgard4> user4: Stop it.
[07:29] <fde> chriswr: No, it is not themeable outside of the GTK theme.
[07:29] <wbmj> chriswr: what are you trying to do
[07:29] <{Matteo}> hmm
[07:29] <fde> chriswr: Audacious supports winamp and xmms themes.
[07:29] <{Matteo}> my friend pointed me towards the ov511 drivers

[07:44] <{Matteo}> go oldschool and do it from iwconfig and dhclient in terminal

[07:48] <boGGdy> fde, same error
[07:48] <boGGdy> should I try a new install?
[07:48] <nicholaspaul> k, i got the codecs. Am I meant to restart afterwards?
[07:48] <bazhang> nicholaspaul, no need
[07:48] <fde> boGGdy: ok... then we have to repeat, this time, please show me the output of sudo fdisk -l  in paste.ubuntu.com before doing anything.
[07:49] <fde> nicholaspaul: Just try to play something again...
[07:49] <boGGdy> fde, i'll boot from the cd
[07:49] <nicholaspaul> k, so same thing. Playing an mp3 or YouTube video doesnt give me sound.
[07:49] <{Matteo}> wow that was nuts
[07:50] <bazhang> nicholaspaul, did you install w32codecs or only ubuntu-restricted-extras
[07:50] <fde> nicholaspaul: lspci | grep -i audio ?
[07:50] <mic1394> ermac0 i think that was the reason why virtualbox additions stopped working
[07:50] <{Matteo}> after install sp3 in xp pro, it bluescreen immediately lol
[07:50] <fde> bazhang: the latter... it's a creative card  :/
[07:50] <nicholaspaul> just the restricted ones. This has only been a prob since I switched motherboards.

[07:58] <bazhang> mic1394, why are you trying to install a deb from getdeb.net when xchat is in the repos
[07:58] <boGGdy2> fde, http://paste.ubuntu.com/29218/
[07:58] <fde> error404notfound: Umm, you probably already have the driver... look through http://www.openprinting.org/printer_list.cgi
[07:58] <iqson716> modemdata.txt :  Smart Link Ltd. Unknown device 2800            how can I do for installing?
[07:59] <mic1394> bazhang there are 2 issues actually one is ubuntu running in low graphics mode.. and am installing from getdeb as jack the sparrow told me to do so yesterday because xchat in respos is 2.8.4 i guess and i wanted 2.8.6
[07:59] <fde> boGGdy2: That is with the ide drive plugged in?
[07:59] <mic1394> !seen jack
[08:00] <boGGdy2> fde, the IDE drive is the only one
[08:00] <error404notfound> fde: driver is not the issue, I just wanna add it from the cmmandline such that it also appears in GUI, its useful for my script
[08:00] <bazhang> mic1394, you realize the vbox does not have high graphics capabilities right?
[08:00] <fde> boGGdy2: I thought you said there were 2 drives in this machine normally?
[08:00] <nicholaspaul> fde i wish to employ the audio services of the Ensoniq branded sound card.
[08:00] <mic1394> bazhang it does thats not the issue.. it runs in low graphics mode if the monitor is not used by the pc
[08:00] <boGGdy2> fde, i used to have a sata drive, but I removed the sata BEFORE i installed ubuntu
[08:01] <mic1394> bazhang using kvm switch so if i run ubuntu in pc 1 and switch to pc2 2 while it is running.. ubuntu would boot in low graphics mode..
[08:01] <bullgard4>  /.config includes the lines: "# CONFIG_FONTS is not set; CONFIG_FONT_8x16=y; CONFIG_FONT_8x8=y." How to tell my framebuffer console to use the 8x8 font?
[08:01] <bazhang> mic1394, vbox does not do 3D
[08:01] <mic1394> bazhang this actually happens even if ubuntu is installed in a pc not virtually
[08:01] <fde> error404notfound: Configure it in the GUI, it'll work everywhere... make sure you have cups-bsd installed, then pipe docs through lpr
[08:01] <bazhang> mic1394, that is a separate situation, correct? thought this was about your windows install of vbox not working
[08:02] <MolePrince> Hello.  When my wireless network is under load [eg streaming media], I find my wireless mouse lags horribly.  How may I fix this please?
[08:02] <fde> boGGdy2: And it's never been put back in?
[08:02] <boGGdy2> not since I installed ubuntu
[08:02] <mic1394> bazhang it works fine now everythign is allright as i install vbox additions again.. but i want to know why it runs in low graphics mode if the monitor is used by another pc?
[08:02] <error404notfound> fde: naaaahhhh, I want to add and configure it using shell, so that I create a script and give it to my users so they won't call me every now and then when they need to add the printer
[08:02] <mic1394> bazhang and if there is a way to avoid that
[08:02] <boGGdy2> fde, I can try a fresh install, if you feel it would help
[08:02] <frold> When I only have Ubuntu hardy installed howto to be able to dualboot with XP?
[08:02] <fde> nicholaspaul: ok... 'lsmod | grep snd' <-- throw that output on paste.ubuntu.com
[08:02] <{Matteo}> source directory is /usr/src/linux-headers-`uname -r`/
[08:02] <{Matteo}> right?
[08:03] <bazhang> mic1394, vbox additions is about vbox not ubuntu; especially windows version of vbox
[08:03] <mic1394> bazhang i know it is a strange thing as usually no people never use virtualbox as well as a kvm switch
[08:03] <{Matteo}> kernel source*
[08:03] <Vereux0> Is there a startup type folder in Ubuntu?
[08:03] <fde> error404notfound: distribute your cups.conf  ?

[08:03] <frold> Vereux0: yep session
[08:04] <nicholaspaul> fde: http://paste.ubuntu.com/29221/
[08:04] <{Matteo}> kernel source directory is /usr/src/linux-headers-`uname -r`/
[08:04] <fde> error404notfound: uhh... cupsd.conf ... sorry
[08:04] <{Matteo}> correct?
[08:04] <mic1394> bazhang ok lets not talk about vbox or windows.. if i have ubuntu installed in my pc without vbox or vmware... and i am using a kvm switch.. while ubuntu is loading.. i switch using a kvm switch to a different pc.. ubuntu would load in low graphics mode.. why this happens and is there a way to avoid it
[08:05] <bazhang> mic1394, thought this was about vbox
[08:05] <error404notfound> fde: distributing that will do the job?
[08:05] <fde> nicholaspaul: ok... echo 'blacklist snd-ens1371' | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist ... then restart
[08:05] <fde> error404notfound: sure
[08:05] <mic1394> bazhang well as a result of that.. virtualbox additions were uninstalled for some reason that i dont know
[08:05] <nicholaspaul> fde K.
[08:06] <bazhang> mic1394, no idea about windows version of vbox, sorry.
[08:06] <mic1394> bazhang i dont think you understood what i mean

[08:06] <fde> Vereux0: umm... /usr/bin ?
[08:07] <Vereux0> fde: Is the ummm because it's an extremely n00by question?
[08:07] <boGGdy2> fde: should I reinstall?
[08:07] <fde> Vereux0: Don't try to understand Unix based on Windows knowledge, it'll confuse you. http://www.pathname.com/fhs/
[08:07] <mic1394> bazhang if you have ubuntu installed in your pc without vbox and you using 1 montir with 2 desktops... while ubuntu is loading and it did not start yet.. you switch to the other desktop.. you would realise that ubuntu boots in low graphics mode.. do you know why?
[08:07] <fde> Vereux0: kinda, yes
[08:07] <mic1394> monitor*
[08:07] <fde> boGGdy2: Probably... it'll be quicker, and this is a fresh install we're dealing with right?
[08:08] <bazhang> mic1394, what video card, what driver how installed; pastebin lspci at paste.ubunt.com as well as xorg.conf
[08:08] <mic1394> bazhang it is kvm switch and ubuntu issue here not vbox or windows
[08:08] <error404notfound> fde: but cupsd.conf doensn't contain anything about that printer, neither its uri, nor anything else
[08:08] <boGGdy2> fde, I'll reinstall. I will still be online on the other computer

[08:19] <nicholaspaul> fde: no Test beep, nothing.
[08:19] <iqson716> how to hide my IP that don't show it in /whois me ?
[08:20] <iqson716> how to hide my IP that don't show it in /whois me ?
[08:20] <HyperStream> soreau says no rendering and something about GLIB=verbose to see what the issue is. i dont know how to use this command / export to display whats wrong
[08:20] <[newb]MIki> how do you find your router IP in the terminal of ubuntu?
[08:20] <Shish_> hey -- new to ubuntu.. got  a few questions!
[08:20] <fde> nicholaspaul: doh... I'm dumb... nano /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist ... go to the very bottom, change snd-enswhatever to snd-intel8x0 and reboot... I'm helping a lot of people, got confused
[08:20] <DJones> !register | iqson716 You need to register your nick, and then ask a channel op in #freenode about getting an unaffiliated cloak
[08:21] <soreau> HyperStream: The open drivers should support your card out of the box.. but what is it you're trying to run on that card?
[08:21] <Shish_> im copyin files from my computer to external harddrive.. its goin at 2.5 mb/s... but when i copy from external to comp, it goes 17mb/s... why so slow on copyin to external?
[08:21] <iqson716> DJones: my nick is registered but don't hide my IP
[08:22] <HyperStream> trying to get rendering saying yes
[08:22] <debasys> i see 4 "Rendering" options in Appearance Settings -> Fonts , could someone explain which one will take less memory?
[08:22] <HyperStream> soreau not running anything yet- there is a line to make compiz skip checking- seen posts saying you can get compiz/AIGLX
[08:23] <DJones> iqson716: In that case, have a chat in #freenode with the ops there, they'll be able to take you through the process of getting an unaffiliated cloak which will stop your ip address showing up
[08:23] <soreau> HyperStream: Pastebin /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[08:23] <soreau> ! paste | HyperStream
[08:23] <HyperStream> 1 sec
[08:24] <iqson716> DJones: thanks
[08:24] <soreau> HyperStream: As I said, compiz will not run on that card
[08:24] <Shish_> every other time i run vlc, ubuntu freezes...vlc player not supported? or..?
[08:24] <soreau> Err, maybe I'm wrong..
[08:24] <temoto-work> If this channel is being logged? Where to?
[08:25] <fde> temoto-work: ircnet.org or whatever does I think
[08:25] <soreau> HyperStream: Sorry, I thought you had a Rage card. Compiz should work with the open ati drivers with your card xD
[08:25] <fde> temoto-work: nm... ubuntu hosts the logs... http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/
[08:25] <temoto-work> fde, thanks.
[08:26] <Textbook> it's pretty bad when your system is so unstable you can't even shutdown, lol
[08:26] <frold> !vbox | frold
[08:27] <itai-michaelson> anybody has any advice on how to make fonts look nicer on hardy with nvidia. whenever i enable my nvidia driver the fonts look terrible,  half of them are smudged ,as if not in focus
[08:27] <soreau> itai-michaelson: Change your resolution. Also, check nvidia-settings
[08:27] <^{_reloaded54> !vbox | frold
[08:27] <^{_reloaded54> test :P
[08:27] <Nalkem> hello
[08:28] <Shish_> anyone have any clue as to why vlc freezes my ubuntu every other time?
[08:28] <Nalkem> after updating my ubuntu the nvidia driver dont work anymore
[08:28] <soreau> Nalkem: Reinstall the driver.
[08:29] <Nalkem> soreau, the original one or the one from ubuntu ?
[08:29] <bullgard4> "(evolution-alarm-notify:22330): evolution-alarm-notify-WARNING **: Could not create the alarm notify service factory, maybe it's already running..." What is a 'service factory'?
[08:29] <itai-michaelson> soreau, i checked the nvidia-settings (in system>admin>Nvidia Xserver settings) but i'm not sure what i'm supposed to look for
[08:29] <soreau> Well, how did you install it initially Nalkem?
[08:29] <nicholaspaul> fde: Hey the audio works - thanks so much! So what we did was to blacklist the 'other' card?
[08:29] <Shish_> thanks for the help, have a good day
[08:30] <soreau> itai-michaelson: Change the resolution, or check Sys>Prefs>Screen Resolution
[08:30] <Nalkem> soreau, ouuuh ... dont remember it anymore ...  made it 3 month ago .. or so
[08:30] <fde> nicholaspaul: Yes... your system was getting confused because 2 cards wanted the same device.
[08:30] <nicholaspaul> fde: ah gotcha. Well, Thanks again :)
[08:30] <rickb|server> Does anyone know of any software simaler to bnc that you can specify an IP to listen on and connect as well?
[08:30] <fde> nicholaspaul: So we just told the system to ignore the onboard (I'm guessing?)
[08:30] <nicholaspaul> fde- yup
[08:30] <soreau> Nalkem: The recommended method is Sys>Admin>Hardware Drivers. Uncheck it, recheck it, reboot and cross your fingers ;)
[08:31] <Nalkem> soreau, ok
[08:31] <debasys> i don't have bluetooth in my laptop, still i see in "Services" one bluetooth device manager is checked, can i uncheck it to save some system memory/cpu?
[08:32] <soreau> That's pretty bad.. I come here for help and instead the tables are turned..
[08:32] <fde> debasys: Nope, it'll blow up your system if you turn something off you don't need  :P  (I'm kidding, you can do whatever you want to your system... that's one of the founding beliefs behind FOSS)
[08:33] <itai-michaelson> soreau, thanks but it seems like i'm using the optimal resolution , is there something else i can do?
[08:33] <soreau> hmm
[08:33] <debasys> fde: i don't want to screw my system, i want to be safe than sorry :)
[08:33] <soreau> itai-michaelson: Does your physical monitor report this, or ubuntu
[08:33] <fde> debasys: Nothing in there will break anything
[08:34] <debasys> fde: ok, and do i need Hotkeys Management [hotkey-setup] ?
[08:34] <soreau> debasys: You might look into Sys>Admin>Sys Mon to see if it's eating any cpu/mem (or what might be)
[08:34] <debasys> these services which are checked run on start up i guess?
[08:34] <fde> debasys: depends, does your keyboard have multimedia keys? do you mind configuring them manually?
[08:34] <debasys> soreau: yeah i am checking with system monitor
[08:35] <fde> debasys: They are services, running all the time.
[08:35] <itai-michaelson> soreau, report what? do you mean the settings? the monitor reports what the optimal settings are whenever i change the resolution.btw- ubuntu only offers me lower resolution
[08:35] <debasys> fde: i have a wireless mouse
[08:35] <soreau> debasys: Look into Sys>Prefs>Sessions to disable default items
[08:35] <fde> debasys: that's probably bluetooth
[08:35] <soreau> itai-michaelson: Is the driver installed correctly? What is the output of 'glxinfo|grep direct'?
[08:35] <debasys> fde: it more like infrared i can say as i don't have bluetooth and its range is very less
[08:36] <itai-michaelson> direct rendering: Yes
[08:36] <soreau> hmm
[08:36] <soreau> itai-michaelson: Lappy? DT?
[08:36] <fde> boGGdy: back?
[08:36] <itai-michaelson> soreau, LCD on desktop , do u know anywhere i can quicly upload a screenshot?
[08:37] <soreau> itai-michaelson: picpaste.com
[08:37] <debasys> soreau: in system>pref>session what is this User Folders Update, what is does?
[08:38] <soreau> debasys: fde might be right.. your wireless mouse might use bluetooth
[08:38] <soreau> debasys: Are you experiencing slow performance?
[08:38] <itai-michaelson> soreau, http://picpaste.com/Screenshot_3.png    but maybe its difficult to judge from the pic
[08:38]  * soreau looks
[08:39] <Blaqlight> I can't seem to get the screen to blank out like I told it too when I close the lid, is this a problem with APCI or what?
[08:39] <debasys> soreau: but i guess if its bluethooth its range will be more, mine is like 1/1.5 meters
[08:39] <fde> debasys: what does it say in the "Command" field when you click it and go to 'edit'?
[08:39] <soreau> itai-michaelson: Yea, that ss looks great from here..
[08:39] <debasys> fde: xdg-user-dirs-gtk-update
[08:39] <soreau> itai-michaelson: Have you tried another lower or any other resolution?
[08:40] <debasys> soreau: yes my intel celeron 512 mb laptop is kind of slow with 7.10 gnome
[08:40] <itai-michaelson> soreau, yes , it didnt look better , just diabling the nvidia driver makes it look very smooth
[08:40] <fde> debasys: eh... guessing one the the LSB specs... you ever venture outside of the official repos?
[08:40] <debasys> soreau: so i am interested to reduce system memory use, though firefox takes most
[08:40] <soreau> debasys: Have you considered upgrading to Hardy?
[08:41] <debasys> soreau: actually i had hardy, it was even slower though it should not be
[08:41] <bullgard4>  /.config includes the lines: "# CONFIG_FONTS is not set; CONFIG_FONT_8x16=y; CONFIG_FONT_8x8=y." How to tell my framebuffer console to use the 8x8 font?
[08:41] <debasys> soreau: so i had to revert back
[08:41] <debasys> soreau: i have this mouse http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/mouseandkeyboard/productdetails.aspx?pid=070
[08:41] <powertool08> What is the difference in safe-upgrade and regular upgrade?
[08:41] <soreau> debasys: What cpu do you have?
[08:41] <debasys> soreau: intel celeron 1.73 GHz
[08:41] <soreau> powertool08: One's safer than the other? (I really don't know)
[08:42] <soreau> powertool08: I would recommend a fresh install from live cd personally
[08:42] <debasys> soreau: but it is somewhat more fast in XP. i heard ubuntu should be atleast fast than win
[08:42] <bullgard4> powertool08: You better tell where you have found ' safe-upgrade'.
[08:42] <debasys> soreau: but unfortunately never experienced that
[08:42] <powertool08> soreau: aptitude says upgrade is depreciated and to use safe-upgrade
[08:43] <soreau> debasys: Well, in general yes.. are you running compiz by chance? Which process in sys mon is using most cpu power?
[08:43] <powertool08> soreau: I was just curious what is different about it that makes it better.
[08:43] <debasys> soreau: no i have turned visual effects off
[08:43] <soreau> powertool08: Not sure.. what does apt-get upgrade say?
[08:43] <debasys> soreau: mostly it will be firefox which takes most memory
[08:43] <powertool08> bullgard4: I found it when updating the way I usually did and aptitude said to use safe-upgrade instead
[08:44] <debasys> soreau: it will be around 200 MB,
[08:44] <soreau> debasys: Try using ff2? I really don't know.. are things faster while ff isn't running?
[08:44] <fde> soreau: FF2 uses about twice the RAM as FF3 here... how would that help?  :P
[08:44] <debasys> soreau: actually if i have firefox+gimp+gedit plus pidgin it slows a down
[08:44] <soreau> fde: As I said, I really have nfc
[08:45] <powertool08> soreau: apt-get doesn't have a safe-upgrade option so I guess its just an aptitude thing
[08:45] <fde> debasys: GIMP is a heavy app
[08:45] <debasys> soreau: so my temporary solution is to close those programs which i don't use currently
[08:45] <debasys> fde: yeah like photoshop
[08:45] <bullgard4> powertool08: "updating the way I usually did" still is no exact description. (My Synaptic never tells me that.)
[08:45] <debasys> but anyway ubuntu has been in my blood since last few months.
[08:45] <debasys> there is no moving away :)]
[08:46] <powertool08> bullgard4: I update via command line
[08:46] <fde> soreau: I think he's on the right basic route... it's just a slow machine though, so it won't improve incredibly.
[08:46] <soreau> debasys: Better hw ftw :P
[08:46] <soreau> fde: right ;)
[08:46] <debasys> yeah this old lenovo machine is actually relatively slow
[08:46] <bullgard4> powertool08: Sorry, I will give up with you.
[08:47] <soreau> bullgard4: I'm about to give up altogether, no one's answered my question at all :p
[08:47] <debasys> ok guys thanks for listening, will now reboot to see some difference in performance [disabled some unncessery services]
[08:48] <powertool08> bullgard4: ?? Not sure what you were asking, I don't use synaptic, I used sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude upgrade in feisty, recently upgraded to hardy with clean install, and that command results in upgrade is depreciated, use safe-upgrade instead
[08:48] <Semidios> I changed the mount point of my second harddrive because I wanted it to show up on my desktop automatically.  I changed it to /media/Media but now it errors out and won't mount?  how do I change it back?
[08:48] <soreau> powertool08: Then perhaps you should just follow the dev's advice ;)
[08:49] <bullgard4> powertool08: Excellent! Finally you have given an exact description of your situation. Wait a minute if I can help you.
[08:49] <beefcake> hey guys
[08:49] <powertool08> soreau: I have been :) but sometimes I like to know why they advise such things
[08:50] <beefcake> my intel hda soundcard doesnt function
[08:50] <beefcake> i just reinstalled alsa, it detects it fine, it just wont give me any sound (my volume controls are enabled)
[08:50] <soreau> powertool08: man aptitude
[08:50] <soreau> powertool08: Tells you exactly what safe-upgrade is
[08:51] <powertool08> soreau: ok, looking there now
[08:52] <no_mind> is there an ubuntu network gateway project ?
[08:53] <xokker> What channel for cyty???????????

[08:54] <xokker> o.O
[08:54] <lamer> ca ya ppl tell me why the f@#$ taskel is removing ALL packages from my sistem????? i have selected only OpenSSh server and now my system have been UNINSTALLED!!! this is the most stupid thing that a program can do. hwy the f@#$ is doing this?????????????????
[08:54] <bullgard4> powertool08: So please use the command "sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude safe-upgrade
[08:54] <lamer> *tasksel
[08:55] <soreau> heh
[08:55] <jpds> !tasksel
[08:55] <jpds> lamer: I wouldn't use it, it's more of a Debian tool.
[08:55] <Flannel> !lantuage | lamer
[08:55] <DistroJockey> lamer, did you un* things that were already *'d ?
[08:55] <davidstuart> So, how can I set it so my system isn't only read only when i'm using recovery mode?
[08:55] <Flannel> lamer: What where you using?
[08:55] <fde> lamer: because so much of the system depends on SSL directly or indirectly... don't remove it.
[08:56] <lamer> i have started tasksel and selected OpenSSH server. after I have installed it.
[08:57] <fde> lamer: Also, why are you using tasksel at all? Use aptitude.
[08:57] <DistroJockey> lamer, and you left all the other things selected right?
[08:57] <Semidios> got it fixed.  So nevermind i guess
[08:57] <Flannel> lamer: It's easy to fix.  And I do agree with fde, tasksel is sort of a blunt instrument
[08:57] <lamer> i see that on synaptic you can't select to uninstall pachages by task. this is good. but using taskel even if i have leaved ALL other things selected it uninstalled ALL

[09:01] <new2nix> whats the quickest way to set up an ftp server on ubuntu?
[09:01] <fde> !br | xokker
[09:01] <Flannel> new2nix: Do you really need ftp?
[09:01] <xokker> !br
[09:01] <mic1394> bazhang what do you mean
[09:02] <Flannel> new2nix: or will scp suffice?
[09:02] <solaries> fde, bullgard4: afetr having spent ages for configuration until avahi worked, I wonder whether I'm the only one that actually uses it. Just curious.
[09:02] <Flannel> new2nix: scp and/or sftp
[09:02] <bazhang> vbox or ubuntu mic1394
[09:02] <amber_> soreau, its not installed
[09:02] <mic1394> bazhang ubuntu?
[09:02] <fde> solaries: I've used it, although I don't recall it being that difficult... heh
[09:02] <bazhang> mic1394, still looking for that pastebin
[09:02] <new2nix> flannel: im not 100% sure. I have ubuntu on a dedicated server using command line only (no desktop) I have downloaded a number of things and now want to get them locally and the fastest way possible
[09:02] <xokker> fde thank!
[09:02] <soreau> amber_: And glxinfo|grep direct says No?
[09:03] <bullgard4> solaries: I see. Enjoy Ubuntu!
[09:03] <mic1394> bazhang my 2nd pc wont boot ubuntu properly anymore.. first it used to boot in low graphics mode now it wont boot at all
[09:03] <Flannel> new2nix: do you have ssh access?
[09:03] <xokker> fde register nick? /nickserv register email
[09:03] <xokker> ?
[09:04] <new2nix> flannel: yep
[09:04] <amber_> soreau, correct
[09:04] <bazhang> mic1394, why that version of xchat? newest is not always better, esp in this case. always best to install from repos; third party websites and repos are a LAST resort.
[09:04] <fde> xokker: /nickserv register email password
[09:04] <Flannel> new2nix: You already have sftp enabled then.  Just fire up your favorite client, and connect via sftp.
[09:04] <amber_> direct rendering: No (If you want to find out why, try setting LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose)
[09:04] <amber_> soreau,  was ment for you- my bad
[09:05] <xokker> fde thanks, register channel? /chanserv register #channel description?
[09:05] <mic1394> bazhang hmm
[09:05] <fde> xokker: You shouldn't have been able to message me if you weren't registered.
[09:05] <soreau> amber_: Well then, I don't know what's going on. The log says everything loaded successfully. Pastebin the output of what it tells you to: LIBDEBUG verbose=1 glxinfo or what ever
[09:05] <Flannel> new2nix: Assuming you're on windows, I know Filezilla supports sftp (and I'm sure most other clients do too)
[09:05] <fde> xokker: ask #freenode these questions, nothing to do with Ubuntu.
[09:05] <mic1394> xokker /chanserv help /nickserv help
[09:05] <new2nix> Flannel: ok but i use putty to connect to the box via ssh but how can i download files to my pc at home using that? i bever seen an option for that

[09:06] <xokker> not solutions! :P
[09:06] <mrrrti> new2nix: check out WinSCP
[09:06] <mic1394> bazhang i was talking to the folks in xchat about /dns not resolving ip address.. so they told me i should use the latest version of xchat
[09:06] <Flannel> new2nix: You won't be using PuTTy, you'll be using an FTP client.  Install one (FileZilla is good) and connect using the same login/password/port/IP/etc as PuTTy.  The other option is scp, which isn't as easy.
[09:07] <amber_> soreau, i dont know how to work that libgb-debug

[09:11] <bazhang> mic1394, xchat, not xchat-gnome; accept no substitutes :)
[09:11] <mrrrti> beefcake: it says "MM" on the bar if it's muted. you can still see the "volume" though
[09:11] <amber_> soreau, restart x?
[09:11] <soreau> No
[09:12] <soreau> amber_: Just run glxinfo again
[09:12] <amber_> soreau, what now ? redo the glx command?
[09:12] <amber_> kk
[09:12] <soreau> yea
[09:12] <amber_> same output
[09:12] <soreau> That sux
[09:12] <mrrrti> beefcake: you said you reinstalled alsa...?
[09:12] <mic1394> bazhang yeah i installed xchat-gnome accidentally earlier.. but i dont know how to remove it from applications - internet
[09:12] <soreau> amber_: I've seen this before, but unfortunately do not know the fix. Which kernel are you using? 'uname -a'
[09:13] <bazhang> mic1394, sudo apt-get remove (packagename)
[09:14] <amber_> soreau,  one sec aparently you need to remove fglrx
[09:14] <mrrrti> beefcake: did you double-check all the channels in 'alsamixer'?
[09:15] <mic1394> bazhang i uninstalled it already from add/remove and sudo apt-get remove xchat-gnome says is not installed so not removed
[09:15] <amber_> soreau, trying: http://yoonkit.blogspot.com/2008/04/compiz-works-on-heron.html
[09:15] <beefcake> yeah im reinstalling alsa atm
[09:15] <beefcake> hope that will fix it
[09:15] <mrrrti> beefcake: how are you reinstalling it?
[09:15] <beefcake> aptitude
[09:16] <mrrrti> has it ever worked?
[09:16] <beefcake> yeah on my last install
[09:16] <Nick_> gerimis
[09:16] <mrrrti> which was?
[09:16] <mrrrti> gutsy?
[09:16] <beefcake> hardy 64bit
[09:16] <mrrrti> and now you're on?
[09:16] <beefcake> 32bit
[09:16] <mrrrti> does the live cd work with sound?
[09:16] <soreau> amber_: Yes. The first thing is to make sure xorg-driver-fglrx isn't installed
[09:17] <Kate_Mins> Hello , I need help please , i would like to give my apache server permissions to run "ifconfig" command , friend told me i should use "sudo visudo" ? how i can do that ?
[09:17] <beefcake> heh the reinstall seems to have fix it
[09:17] <beefcake> nice
[09:17] <amber_> soreau, i had envy fglrx installed. attempting now
[09:17] <soreau> amber_: Remove it, and if it was installed, restart X and reinstall the aforementioned packages if the problem persists
[09:17] <jmazaredo> can someone help me on thi http://www.howtoforge.com/how-to-install-ubuntu8.04-with-software-raid1 in the part where make all drive bootable i cant do the commands
[09:17] <beefcake> thanks for the help
[09:17] <soreau> amber_: Argh, envy?
[09:17] <soreau> ! envy
[09:18] <mrrrti> beefcake: did you do any manual configuration? i'm trying to figure out how it can suddenly work...?
[09:18] <eth01> jmazaredo: thats because you shouldn't follow such "howto's"
[09:18] <beefcake> are there any packages to get 2.6.26 into hardy apart from doing custom kernel
[09:18] <krox1> пока амеры)
[09:18] <Eeyor> bazhang, I downloaded teh compizfusion thingy .. and i want teh cube thingy so i enable it and restart computer but then i do teh keys they ask me to enter and teh effects still dont work.
[09:18] <beefcake> mrrti: no just ran --purge reinstall
[09:18] <amber_> soreau, woohoo: http://paste.ubuntu.com/29238/
[09:18] <beefcake> everything sound related
[09:18] <eth01> beefcake: wait until you reboot.
[09:18] <mrrrti> beefcake: darn, so we didn't really learn anything then? :(
[09:18] <arvind_khadri> Eeyor, did you install ccsm?
[09:18] <eth01> hah.
[09:19] <beefcake> mrrti: this was a step about it in a guide
[09:19] <Eeyor> arvind_khadri, i installed teh compiz fusion thing.
[09:19] <soreau> amber_: Did you remove fglrx (ie. was it installed?)
[09:19] <arvind_khadri> Eeyor, you need to get ccsm too
[09:19] <arvind_khadri> !ccsm | Eeyor
[09:19] <amber_> soreau,  yes- its working with compiz
[09:19] <soreau> amber_: Really? Great
[09:19] <bazhang> Eeyor, you have the 3d drivers installed? and also compizconfig-settings-manager? then check appearances > visual effects tab and set to custom, go into ccsm and under general set virtual horizontal desktops to 4 and alt f2 compiz --replace
[09:20] <soreau> amber_: What steps did you take to fix it?
[09:20] <amber_> soreau, how do i post that onto somewhere for other people with the same issue or report it to developers to look into ?
[09:20] <beefcake> bazhang: ccsm-simple if you want the custom tab
[09:20] <amber_> soreau, i removed xorg-driver-fglrx-envy and xorg-driver-fglrx(which wasnt installed at all but its on the site) then followed that page
[09:20] <beefcake> else it wont get you that
[09:20] <amber_> soreau,  if you can post it or report it i would appreceiate that
[09:21] <bazhang> beefcake, thanks Eeyor see that simple-ccsm
[09:21] <arvind_khadri> Eeyor, sure .. open a terminal and type sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager
[09:21] <Flannel> !bugs | amber_
[09:21] <beefcake> they changed that for some reason
[09:21] <bazhang> !ccsm | Eeyor
[09:21] <beefcake> oh simple-ccsm my bad
[09:21] <soreau> amber_: I will make a note of it, but you can make a post on http://forum.compiz-fusion.org/ if you feel so compelled
[09:21] <beefcake> but thats the way to do it
[09:21] <beefcake> with the custom option in effects tab
[09:21] <bazhang> right forgot about that :)
[09:22] <amber_> thanks guys
[09:22] <beefcake> i love how it switches
[09:22] <soreau> aha
[09:22] <beefcake> between my rdesktop and my normal gnome
[09:22] <soreau> amber_: It must've been the envy package...
[09:22] <mrrrti> beefcake: did the reinstall procedure restart the alsa stuff?
[09:22] <amber_> when i hold my control key down it makes a noise inside the laptop kinda thing. and when i bloody type
[09:22] <chumma> hi
[09:22] <soreau> lol
[09:22] <amber_> soreau, yeah but you need to run: /usr/bin/compiz --replace & as well
[09:22] <beefcake> mrrti: i think so, i live with the philosophy if it works dont touch it :)
[09:22] <mrrrti> beefcake: i can't really drop this, since we didn't actually find what was wrong
[09:22] <soreau> amber_: Well, that's a given...
[09:23] <beefcake> too many years of windows
[09:23] <coldboot|home> What does a =~ return exactly?
[09:23] <beefcake> let me look into the dmesg for changes
[09:23] <arvind_khadri> Eeyor, ???
[09:23] <coldboot|home> oops, wrong channel
[09:23] <chumma> hi sexy
[09:23] <beefcake> no changes there
[09:23] <bazhang> chumma, not here
[09:23] <beefcake> oh changes in alsa mixer it put pcm there
[09:23] <beefcake> it wasnt there before
[09:23] <mrrrti> it usually says so in the console, though
[09:24] <Eeyor> okay. now what?
[09:24] <mrrrti> ah! :)
[09:24] <beefcake> does that satisfy your hunger ? :)
[09:24] <bazhang> eeyor then you
[09:24] <mrrrti> well, it goes a long way ;)
[09:24] <bazhang> oh he left
[09:24] <chumma> anybody wants to talk with me
[09:24] <beefcake> now all i need to get working is 4965AGN in monitor mode
[09:24] <bazhang> chumma, this is not a chat channel
[09:24] <beefcake> which is done by upgrading to kernel 2.6.26 i think
[09:24] <mrrrti> chumma: this is a support channel. do you have an issue with ubuntu?
[09:24] <frybye> chumma - this is not a general chat channel...
[09:25] <Flannel> chumma: #ubuntu-offtopic for that
[09:25] <bazhang> chumma this is ubuntu support; please take chat elsewhere
[09:25] <chumma> no
[09:25] <chumma> what is the way
[09:25] <Flannel> chumma: /join #ubuntu-offtopic
[09:26] <frybye> click on the channel-name...
[09:26] <chumma> how can i join ubuntu
[09:26] <chumma> please tell
[09:26] <Flannel> chumma: What do you mean?
[09:26] <bazhang> chumma, this is #ubuntu; not a chit chat channel but for ubuntu support
[09:27] <chumma> why to join a channel
[09:27] <mrrrti> (i'm beginning to have doubts myself)
[09:27] <chumma> how can i join and register
[09:28] <DistroJockey> !ot | chumma
[09:28] <Flannel> !register | chumma
[09:28] <chumma> next
[09:28] <bazhang> chumma, please stop
[09:28] <khan> why
[09:30] <abchirk> Hello :)
[09:30] <Flannel> !hi | abchirk
[09:30] <abchirk> :P
[09:31] <Nostahl> hi all i just installed ubuntu 64    it setup some atheros drivers for me.. but wifi dosnt run in network manager?
[09:32] <soreau> Nostahl: Ditch network manager and just use iwconfig instead ;)
[09:32] <Nostahl> soreau it dosnt show in iwconfig
[09:32] <soreau> dhclient doesn't hurt either :P
[09:33] <soreau> Nostahl: What does Sys>Admin>HW Drivers show?
[09:33] <Nostahl> atheros hardware access layer
[09:33] <Nostahl> support for atheros
[09:33] <new2nix> mrrrti: thanks dude... winsco just what i needed!!!
[09:34] <new2nix> mrrrti: thanks dude... winscp just what i needed!!!
[09:34] <soreau> Nostahl: Is it enabled?
[09:34] <Nostahl> aye
[09:34] <mrrrti> new2nix: glad to help!
[09:35] <new2nix> now for my 2nd issue.... lol
[09:35] <soreau> And iwconfig doesn't show an ath0 interface? (or wifi0 for that matter?)
[09:35] <Nostahl> aye
[09:35] <new2nix> i have ubuntu_desktop installed on my dedicated server... is there a way to login to te GUI rather than the command line?
[09:35] <soreau> Nostahl: What does 'dmesg' show? (dmesg|grep ath)
[09:36] <mrrrti> new2nix: i'm not exactly sure about the best way to do this, but you could try to start gdm
[09:36] <Nostahl> ath_hal module license proprietary taints kernel
[09:36] <Nostahl> ath_pci  0.9.4
[09:36] <new2nix> mrrrti: how would i do that
[09:36] <mrrrti> you've installed ubuntu-desktop, and upon restart, it's not starting x?
[09:36] <arvind_khadri> new2nix, you need to install a GUI for that first
[09:37] <new2nix> arvind_khadri: i thought ubuntu desktop was a gui
[09:37] <mrrrti> sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start
[09:37] <mrrrti> new2nix: did you miss my question?
[09:37] <arvind_khadri> new2nix, yeah it is.. sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start
[09:38] <soreau> Nostahl: Hmm.. don't know exactly. If there's no message there. I compile the drivers from madwifi.org
[09:38] <new2nix> mrrrti: sorry, im not sure if its starting x or not as I am quite new to *nix and have only used command line until today
[09:38] <Nostahl> i have never ran into someone that the proprietary drivers worked heh
[09:38] <mrrrti> yes, but have you rebooted the machine since you installed ubuntu-desktop?
[09:38] <Nostahl> why does ubuntu offer them lmao
[09:38] <arvind_khadri> new2nix, just copy paste the command we gave to you
[09:39] <new2nix> root@usenet:~# sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start
[09:39] <new2nix>  * Starting GNOME Display Manager...                                     [ ok ]
[09:39] <b33r> Hi is there a way to find out if I'm using latest intel vga drivers?
[09:40] <DistroJockey> new2nix, hit  alt+f7
[09:40] <mrrrti> new2nix, you should use your normal account. i see that you're root there.
[09:40] <mrrrti> !sudo
[09:40] <new2nix> mrrrti i only ever login as root
[09:40] <mrrrti> that's not really recommended
[09:41] <new2nix> DistroJockey: alt+f7 is doing nothing
[09:41] <powertool08> new2nix: run dmesg | tail, any errors?
[09:41] <Flannel> new2nix: You'll need to tunnel X over SSH.  There's a lot of tutorials on the internet for how to set it up.  And yes, you shouldn't be root. (you shouldn't even have the root account enabled)
[09:42] <DistroJockey> new2nix, k. X runs on Virtual Terminal 7. So GDM did not start
[09:42] <FisherP> hi, I have a problem 'df' shows that there is not quite 20g of my 20g partition used, but it still says that it's 100% used
[09:42] <FisherP> can someone help me please
[09:42] <new2nix> Flannel: thanks, like i said im very new to unix i dont know how to add another user
[09:43] <SwedeMike> FisherP: this is normal, some space is reserved for root and to lessen fragmentation
[09:43] <new2nix> but i do need root access whichever user i use
[09:43] <Flannel> new2nix: You should have a normal (non-root) user set up to begin with.
[09:43] <FisherP> ok,
[09:43] <mrrrti> new2nix: the installation should have asked you about a "normal" user
[09:43] <Flannel> new2nix: No, you don't need root access.  sudo takes care of thta.
[09:43] <powertool08> new2nix: use "adduser" to add a non-root user
[09:44] <mic1394> can someone help me on how to install source files.. am reading in here http://monkeyblog.org/ubuntu/installing/       it says When you're in the correct directory you execute a configure script: .. how do i get to the correct directory?
[09:44] <new2nix> powertool08: cool. Thanks
[09:44] <timsandtoms> For some reason I seem to get MUCH higher load times for webpages in Firefox 2 in Ubuntu 7.10 versus Firefox 3 in Windows XP, both of which run on this same computer. Any idea why?
[09:44] <mrrrti> new2nix: grep ^adm /etc/group
[09:45] <mic1394> timsandtoms upgrade to firefox 3?
[09:45] <Flannel> mic1394: The sentence previous has a link regarding navigating in the terminal.  You'll use 'cd'
[09:45] <arvind_khadri> mic1394, cd to it ..
[09:45] <new2nix> mrrrti: adm:*:4:
[09:45] <Flannel> !terminal | mic1394
[09:45] <Flannel> new2nix: You want admin, not adm.
[09:46] <FisherP> how can i do a 'du' of just the top director?
[09:46] <Flannel> new2nix: first off, what does ls /home/ give you?  any folders?
[09:46] <timsandtoms> mic1394: Yeh, I probably will, but I had the same thing before even when XP ran Firefox 2.
[09:46] <Flannel> timsandtoms: du -c | grep total
[09:47] <mic1394> timsandtoms lots of memory leak in firefox keep less tabs opened and use few addons and restart firefox after 3-4 hours
[09:47] <new2nix> mrrrti: FTP-shared  carl  ftp
[09:47] <Flannel> new2nix: 'groups carl' are you in the admin group?
[09:48] <baron1984> I am having a real bad time with this Foxconn motherboard
[09:48] <timsandtoms> Flannel: 384848  total
[09:48] <new2nix> Flannel: i just added a user "carl" and this is what hapened
[09:48] <Flannel> timsandtoms: There you go.
[09:48] <timsandtoms> Flannel: What? What does that tell me?
[09:48] <Flannel> new2nix: ah.  ok.  What groups were returned?  admin by any chance?
[09:48] <Flannel> timsandtoms: Oh... sorry.  Wrong person.
[09:48] <timsandtoms> Flannel: xD Ah, haha, nice.
[09:48] <Flannel> FisherP: du -c | grep total
[09:49] <new2nix> Adding user `carl'...
[09:49] <new2nix> Adding new group `carl' (1001).
[09:49] <new2nix> Adding new user `carl' (1001) with group `carl'.
[09:49] <new2nix> Creating home directory `/home/carl'.
[09:49] <FloodBot1> new2nix: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[09:49] <adac>  #mplayer
[09:49] <mic1394> Flannel i have xchat-2.8.6.tar.bz2 in desktop i typed cd xchat-2.8.6 it says bash: cd: xchat-2.8.6: No such file or directory
[09:50] <Flannel> new2nix: Ok, before we get into all of this... why are you paying for an Ubuntu server somewhere when you're not really sure what you're doing at all?
[09:50] <FisherP> thanks Flannel
[09:50] <Flannel> mic1394: Why do you want to install that?  xchat is in the repos
[09:51] <mic1394> Flannel lol
[09:51] <adac> mic1394: first unpack it with tar xvfz  xchat-2.8.6.tar.bz2
[09:51] <new2nix> Flannel: i have a dedicated server split into 4 vps. i also do a little web hosting and the other vps are the web hosting packages, so im paying for that really. the ubuntu install is just to experiment with
[09:51] <mic1394> Flannel i only found 2.8.4 and i tried to install from getdeb it doesnt work
[09:51] <mic1394> Flannel i did extract it though
[09:51] <Flannel> new2nix: I'd really suggest trying this all out on a home box.  Since... what you're doing is ... dangerous. to put it bluntly
[09:52] <mic1394> Flannel bash: cd: xchat-2.8.6: No such file or directory
[09:52] <mic1394> Flannel ops sory..
[09:52] <new2nix> Flannel: but surely it will only corrupt the VPS installation not the whole box?
[09:52] <mic1394> Flannel xchat-2.8.6 is the unpacked folder
[09:52] <haptiK> SNARF!!
[09:52] <baron1984> is kerneloops in Intrepid?
[09:52] <Flannel> baron1984: #ubuntu+1 for Intrepid questions, thanks
[09:53] <mrrrti> new2nix: you can experiment with ubuntu server under virtualbox
[09:53] <Flannel> new2nix: Uh, yeah.  I suppose it would.  That is of course, assuming the VPS has no security holes.  But even then, you're (worst case) giving someone a rooted box that you may not know about.
[09:54] <mic1394> Flannel if the folder is in desktop and i typed cd foldername yet it still says bash no such file.. what could be the reason
[09:54] <Flannel> new2nix: If you download a liveCD and play with it for even just a little while, all of this will be a lot easier because you'll be much more familiar with the whole thing
[09:54] <new2nix> Flannel: the actual box is very well protected.
[09:54] <Flannel> mic1394: whats your current directory?
[09:55] <mic1394> Flannel not sure what do you mean
[09:55] <DistroJockey> mic1394, try    cd ~/Desktop/xchat   and hit tab then enter
[09:55] <new2nix> Flannel: iwill download one. thanks for all of your help
[09:55] <mic1394> DistroJockey ok did that
[09:55] <DistroJockey> mic1394, *nods*
[09:55] <Flannel> new2nix: If you still want to go through with it, that's fine.  We'll help you set up a non-root user.  Just trying to give you suggestions for a better experience.
[09:56] <mrrrti> new2nix: try out virtualbox while you're at it
[09:56] <mic1394> DistroJockey thanks
[09:56] <DistroJockey> mic1394, no problem
[09:56] <new2nix> Flannel: no im up for that!! i just want to learn as much as i can about it, as so far (only 5 weeks in) i already think it blows windows out the water
[09:57] <adac> mic1394: which irc client are you currently using?
[09:57] <new2nix> Flannel: so do the live cds need to be installed in a seperate partition or do i use virtualbox for that
[09:58] <mic1394> adac mirc
[09:58] <b33r> Hi is there a way to find out if I'm using latest intel vga drivers?
[09:58] <adac> mic1394: ah ok!
[09:58] <Flannel> new2nix: The liveCD runs off the CD itself.  A proper install will sit on a partition, whether you want to virtualize it or not... I don't know.  Or you can use wubi.  Where the install lives in a file or two on your windows install, and you don't need to partition.
[09:58] <mic1394> adac why do you ask
[09:58] <fwaokda> how can i get sound in firefox :(
[09:59] <Flannel> new2nix: I personally have no experience with virtualization, so I'm not the one to make that judgement
[09:59] <nickweb> Is it just me, or is the latest banshee still not in the universe?
[09:59] <nickweb> I just ran apt install banshee, and it gave me 0.13.2
[09:59] <Flannel> nickweb: whatever version Hardy shipped with, hardy will stay with.
[09:59] <adac> mic1394: Was just wondering. Do you use mirc under linux?
[09:59] <nickweb> Ah...
[09:59] <timsandtoms> My XChat-GNOME IRC Chat button in the menu doesn't have it's icon. Is there a quickfix? It's not really annoying enough to bother spending much time on :P
[10:00] <mic1394> adac nah am running windows as host and ubuntu as guest using virtualbox
[10:00] <Flannel> nickweb: well, except bug/security fixes
[10:00] <nickweb> Just googled. sorry! http://linuxbasement.com/content/install-banshee-1-hardy
[10:00] <DistroJockey> fwaokda, try getting and using  pavucontrol
[10:00] <adac> mic1394: :) you should go other way round: use ubuntu as host and windows as guest :)
[10:01] <DistroJockey> fwaokda, you are on Hardy rught?
[10:01] <fwaokda> DistroJockey, yes -- what is that?
[10:01] <DistroJockey> fwaokda, pulse audio controller
[10:01] <powertool08> Flannel: So if a program has a new release the only way to upgrade to it is to install from .deb or source from programs website or to wait for next release of ubuntu?
[10:01] <mic1394> adac lol i can barely install a software in ubuntu and want me to use ubuntu as host.. my pc will get messy
[10:01] <adac> timsandtoms: Use xchat the original program
[10:01] <timsandtoms> adac: Whats the difference?
[10:02] <fwaokda> DistroJockey, k it's installed. is it something I have to run or is it already running?
[10:02] <adac> mic1394: its fine :)
[10:02] <DistroJockey> fwaokda, start the thing that needs sound and run pavucontrol
[10:02] <Relaed> is xubuntu on eeepc fast ?
[10:02] <fwaokda> oh ok
[10:02] <bazhang> !eeepc | Relaed
[10:02] <Flannel> powertool08: there are also backports, whether official, or personal (see !prevu)
[10:02] <adac> timsandtoms: xchat-gnome is totally different from original xchat
[10:02] <powertool08> !prevu > powertool08
[10:03] <Flannel> powertool08: And as usual, there are always exceptions to the rules.  But as a rule of thumb, yes.
[10:03] <timsandtoms> adac: Meh. I already have this, and I'm not a big IRC user. I mostly just come here. So this works for now.
[10:04] <fwaokda> DistroJockey, still no worky :( is there a chance i have an old verison of flash?
[10:04] <adac> timsandtoms: I suggest you to install the original. People on #xchat had long conversatitions about why xchat-gone does even exist.
[10:04] <timsandtoms> adac: If this works, why would I switch?
[10:04] <DistroJockey> fwaokda, hmm, shouldn't if you update now and then
[10:05] <adac> timsandtoms: well I thougt something is not working?
[10:05] <timsandtoms> adac: Just the icon not showing up in the menu, which isn't a big deal :P I was just asking if there was a quick fix for that, don't really feel like uninstalling and installing xchat
[10:06] <mic1394> can someone check this please http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/29249/  trying to install xchat
[10:06] <DistroJockey> fwaokda, what about playing with some options in pavucontrol (like show all streams  and  right clicking to change output device) ?
[10:06] <fwaokda> ya, dang it's annoying. I've notice its stalling at the beginning and still no sound
[10:06] <fwaokda> DistroJockey, i'll keep looking in it i didn't see those options
[10:06] <adac> timsandtoms: sudo apt-get remove xchat-gnome
[10:07] <adac> timsandtoms: sudo apt-get install xchat
[10:07] <Flannel> mic1394: Why are you compiling xchat again?
[10:07] <adac> that should be all
[10:07] <DistroJockey> fwaokda, should be a Hint at the bottom
[10:07]  * soreau grabs his coat
[10:07] <bazhang> mic1394, you are compiling xchat for what reason? and on vbox at that?
[10:07] <ikonia> Flannel: why compile xchat full stop ?
[10:07] <timsandtoms> adac: ...Right. I keep forgetting how easy terminal is. Been on Windows a lot lately, and haven't ever been a heavy linux user :P
[10:07] <Flannel> ikonia: again being "I'm asking for the second time"
[10:07] <fwaokda> DistroJockey, ya doesn't seem to be workin still i'll mess with it for a little longer
[10:07] <timsandtoms> adac: Well, I'll brb then
[10:08] <ikonia> Flannel: ahhhh
[10:08] <bazhang> mic1394, this is not windows where you install stuff from random websites
[10:08] <mic1394> Flannel am just following a guide on how to install a source file http://monkeyblog.org/ubuntu/installing/    When you're in the correct directory you execute a configure script: ./configure.
[10:08] <Flannel> mic1394: Yes.  I know that.  but *why* compile?
[10:08] <ikonia> mic1394: but why
[10:08] <mic1394> Flannel i downloaded xchat source file from xchat site
[10:08] <adac> timsandtoms: hope you come back :)
[10:08] <DistroJockey> fwaokda, yeah, probably something else. But it's a nice tool to have anyway. Good luck
[10:08] <Flannel> mic1394: Yes.  but why?
[10:08] <ikonia> mic1394: why are you not installing the version ubuntu has compiled and package for you
[10:09] <mic1394> Flannel lol am not sure what i am doing actually.. am just trying following this guide
[10:09] <ikonia> mic1394: more so when you don't seem to understand what your actually doing
[10:09] <ikonia> mic1394: why ?
[10:09] <mic1394> ikonia i tried to install it from here http://getdeb.net/search.php?keywords=xchat  but it doesnt seem to work
[10:09] <ikonia> mic1394: have you read the basics on how to use ubuntu and hte package manager ?
[10:09] <Flannel> mic1394: the point of doing so is "to have xchat" right?
[10:09] <ikonia> mic1394: your not listening
[10:09] <bastid_raZor> (you're)
[10:09] <adac> mic1394: just open a linux terminal and type sudo apt-get install xchat
[10:10] <mic1394> ikonia not really have not
[10:10] <mic1394> Flannel yes
[10:10] <bazhang> !lnw | mic1394
[10:10] <ikonia> bastid_raZor: it's a busy channel, are the gammar lessons really needed
[10:10] <ikonia> mic1394: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/newtoubuntu/C/index.html
[10:10] <Flannel> mic1394: sudo apt-get install xchat
[10:10] <mic1394> adac but what version of xchat will that install
[10:10] <Flannel> mic1394: and then you're done!
[10:10] <bastid_raZor> ikonia; that would be a negative.
[10:10] <adac> mic1394: the newest
[10:10] <adac> 2.8.4
[10:10] <ikonia> mic1394: check out those URL's
[10:11] <fwaokda> DistroJockey, do you know how i can figure out the name of my sound device so i can google it to see of any fixes?
[10:11] <adac> mic1394: but read those things the others have send you to get a basic idea
[10:11] <powertool08> fwaokda: lspci
[10:11] <bastid_raZor> fwaokda; lspci should list it
[10:11] <DistroJockey> fwaokda, one thing to check is  System - Preferences - Sound
[10:12] <mic1394> thanks all will try my best
[10:12] <DistroJockey> fwaokda, I assume you have sound everywhere else except flash in Firefox ?
[10:12] <kompi02_> TYUFDK
[10:13] <mic1394> adac Flannel sudo apt-get install xchat installs 2.8.4 and not 2.8.6
[10:13] <bazhang> kompi02_, english
[10:13] <kompi02_> OTUIOIOPYORJOEUKEUKR78O89OPUILRUIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
[10:13] <fwaokda> DistroJockey, ya  "nVidia Corporation MCP51 High Definition Audio (rev a2)" think thats my sound device
[10:13] <mic1394> Setting up xchat (2.8.4-0ubuntu7) ...
[10:13] <Flannel> mic1394: Indeed.  but what do you need from .6?
[10:14] <ikonia> mic1394: why do you want 2.8.6 and not 2.8.4
[10:14] <adac> mic1394: yes, but newer version will come soon as a package i guess. May it was not stable enough yet
[10:14] <mic1394> there are a lot of options that are not available in 2.8.4 and according to #xchat themselves 2.8.6 is much better than 2.8.4
[10:14] <ikonia> mic1394: name 2 options please.
[10:15] <mathieu__> ??
[10:15] <mic1394> ikonia well i wanted the /dns to resolve ips and it had an issue
[10:15] <bazhang> mic1394, newer is not better in this case
[10:15] <mic1394> they said it is fixed in 2.8.6
[10:15] <DistroJockey> fwaokda, all these Test buttons work in Sound Preferences?
[10:15] <ikonia> mic1394: anything else?
[10:15] <adac> mic1394: well for me 2.8.4 works nice
[10:16] <mic1394> ikonia well i dunno whats so wrong and hard about installing a new updated software
[10:16] <bazhang> mic1394, you break the package management system for one
[10:16] <fwaokda> DistroJockey, oh wow they don't :(   they did... whats happening to my poor poor lappytop /cry
[10:17] <ikonia> mic1394: because 1.) you don't know what your doing 2.) you don't know how that software will work against the ubuntu packaged system 3.) that has potential risks of breaking your package manament dependencies 4.) the source of that guide is unknown and untrusted
[10:17] <mib_dracorx> hi all
[10:17] <adac> mic1394: yeah bazhang is totally right. Espescially beginners should use the package system
[10:17] <DistroJockey> fwaokda, see if the work when you change to Pulse Audio rather than Autodetect
[10:17] <mib_dracorx> anyone using an acer laptop?
[10:17] <amenado> I have somehow disabled displaying files downloaded on firefox, anyone knows where to re-enable the list again?
[10:17] <mic1394> hmmm
[10:17] <mib_dracorx> could need some help with that
[10:18] <ikonia> mib_dracorx: just exaplin the problem as someone not using an acer laptop may know how to resolve it
[10:18] <fwaokda> DistroJockey, nope
[10:18] <eq__> hello
[10:18] <mic1394> well didnt know actually as i was told there are more options in the new version so i wanted to try it out.. but it seems like it would be a very hard task i guess
[10:19] <ikonia> mic1394: it's not a hard task - it's a wasteful task
[10:19] <eq__> im having a problem everytime i try to install ubuntu i get this blue screen with the msg "xdrive error"
[10:19] <eq__> does anyone know whats that about?
[10:19] <mic1394> lol.. np thanks a lot though and sorry if i bothered u guys
[10:19] <ikonia> mic1394: your looking at a "point" release
[10:19] <DistroJockey> fwaokda, does the following in a terminal work?   paplay /usr/share/sounds/login.wav
[10:19] <mic1394> ikonia hmmm
[10:19] <ikonia> mic1394: not a major release so the features should be minor bug fixes
[10:19] <preben_> hello. Is there any moinmoin 1.7 package for ubuntu?
[10:19] <fwaokda> DistroJockey, nope :(
[10:20] <joaopinto> preben_,  not on the official repositories, check on backports
[10:20] <preben_> backport?
[10:20] <DistroJockey> fwaokda, ok, you probably need to restart pulseaudio or alsa or both (or reboot)
[10:20] <mic1394> ikonia thats weird though.. what if someone is a regular IRC users and wants to try the new options in the new version
[10:20] <joaopinto> !backports
[10:20] <mic1394> ikonia what can the user do
[10:20] <ikonia> mic1394: there shouldn't be "new options" - it's a point release, it should be bug fixes only
[10:21] <joaopinto> mic1394, you could check backports also
[10:21] <fwaokda> DistroJockey, ok and I just checked update manager and there is something about my sound in there im gonna do right quick.
[10:21] <DistroJockey> fwaokda, or possibly reinstall pulseaudio or alsa or both
[10:21] <DistroJockey> fwa ahh, k
[10:21] <DistroJockey> fwaokda, a ahh, k
[10:21] <Diable-Rouge_> Salut
[10:21] <ikonia> mic1394: ubuntu development team put a lot of time and effort into testing stable packages against the ubuntu system and releasing the best package versions for the mass majority, that is a LOT of time effort and experience
[10:21] <fwaokda> brb
[10:22] <idefix> how can you see what command linux executes after you select something from the menu?
[10:22] <Diable-Rouge_> comment sur xchat gnom je peux faire pour voir la liste des utilisateur ?
[10:22] <ikonia> !de | Diable-Rouge_
[10:22] <mrrrti> mic1394: the problem you describe is real. though, you will have the least amount of trouble if you just wait until the new version is packaged for ubuntu.
[10:22] <idefix> ikonia that was french
[10:22] <preben_> I'm familiar with Debian, but new to Ubuntu, is there any depositories for Ubuntu like unstable/experimental so I can see if moinmoin 1.7 har been packaged at all? At the moment it is only the old old old 1.5.8 versin in ubuntu
[10:22] <ikonia> idefix: ahhh well done
[10:22] <idefix> !fr
[10:22] <mib_dracorx> oki, Explaining my problem. It's all about wireless as usual. It uses a bmc43* chipset and as long as it doesnt work, I can't even connect to repo, but transfer files from another pc
[10:22] <ikonia> idefix: danke ;)
[10:22] <Diable-Rouge_> !fr
[10:23] <mib_dracorx> and it doesnt yyet work, the wlan
[10:23] <idefix> jow but about my question? how can you see that? what linux does when you click on something from the menu?
[10:23] <Diable-Rouge_> ubottu: i'm frensh
[10:23] <ikonia> idefix: use the gnome menu editor ?
[10:23] <idefix> Diable-Rouge /join #ubuntu-fr
[10:23] <Diable-Rouge_> ok the ubuntu frensh url please
[10:24] <mic1394> ikonia all apperciated.. we always hope for the better and hopefully things will be
[10:24] <Diable-Rouge_> ok
[10:24] <ikonia> mic1394: your using "the better"
[10:24] <ikonia> mic1394: 2.4.8 - is not always "better"
[10:24] <idefix> linux still sometimes seems a bit cluttered to me
[10:24] <idefix> (I saw the movie Titanic ツ
[10:25] <adac> I tried to watch a 720p trailer of a movie with mplayer. Unfortunately it was lagging a lot...but why? With a quad core it should work fine, or not?
[10:25] <ikonia> adac: the codec maybe ?
[10:25] <SilentDis> hello :)
[10:25] <Schalken> adac: got drivers for your graphics chip?
[10:25] <ikonia> adac: was it playing from a local drive, or off the net ?
[10:26] <adac> ikonia: yes drivers are installed (nvidia proprietary)
[10:26] <cirkit> adac: what kind of connection you have?
[10:26] <adac> Schalken^
[10:26] <adac> no it was already downloaded
[10:26] <DistroJockey> adac, and 1 more thing. Is Visual Effects enabled (compiz)?
[10:26] <adac> completetly
[10:26] <ikonia> adac: what codec is it using ?
[10:27] <preben_> no moin in backport. Ok, thanks! I'll compile it manually :-)
[10:27] <adac> DistroJockey: enabled yes
[10:27] <Schalken> adac: when you play it from the command line does it say "your computer is too slow to play this" in big letters in the terminal?
[10:27] <adac> ikonia: how to check that?
[10:27] <moldy> hi
[10:27] <cirkit> adac: does this happen with every single video player?
[10:27] <adac> Schalken: I played it over the firefox mplayer plugin
[10:27] <DistroJockey> adac, I'd try with it turned off
[10:27] <moldy> when using ubuntu stable, can i do automatic updates per cronjob, or is this not advisable?
[10:27] <ikonia> adac: run "file" against the file
[10:27] <adac> cirkit: no only with hd stuff
[10:27] <ikonia> moldy: update manager will alert you when new stuff is available, daily normally
[10:27] <ikonia> moldy: you can then chose if you want to download them or not
[10:27] <idefix> ikonia how then do you see that with the gnome menu editor?
[10:28] <ikonia> idefix: in the properties it normally shows what it's running
[10:28] <moldy> ikonia: i know, but i am not sitting at all my machines daily or even weekly
[10:28] <ikonia> idefix: right click on it
[10:28] <adac> ikonia: i was plying it with mplayer plugin on firefox
[10:28] <ikonia> moldy: is the machine on 24x7 ?
[10:28] <moldy> ikonia: yes
[10:28] <ikonia> adac: run file against the local file
[10:28] <adac> but it was completely downloaded so it is not the connection
[10:29] <adac> ikonia: on which file? the movie?
[10:29] <ikonia> adac: correct
[10:29] <ikonia> moldy: what is the machines use
[10:29] <moldy> ikonia: server
[10:29] <ikonia> moldy: is it a server install or a desktop install, and does it "serve" important stuff ?
[10:29] <adac> ikonia: where is it located? /tmp ?
[10:29] <ikonia> adac: where did you download it
[10:29] <adac> ikonia: played over mplayer plugin
[10:29] <moldy> ikonia: it's a desktop install and serves not very important stuff
[10:29] <adac> so not downloaded
[10:30] <ikonia> adac: ok - so it's streaming it
[10:30] <moldy> ikonia: basically, my question is "how high is the risk for an automatic update breaking something"
[10:30] <ikonia> moldy: cool, so if it randomly reboots for things like Xorg updates and kernel updates, thats not a big deal
[10:30] <adac> ikonia: yes, but it was fully buffered
[10:30] <ikonia> moldy: pretty slim
[10:30] <ikonia> adac: buffered still = network dependant
[10:30] <ikonia> adac: especially on big stuff like HD movie
[10:30] <moldy> ikonia: updates reboot the machine without user interaction?
[10:30] <adac> ikonia: there was 100% "downloaded"
[10:31] <moldy> i didn't know that yet :)
[10:31] <ikonia> moldy: if you set it to auto update yes, your accepting kernel updates - it needs to reboot
[10:31] <adac> ikonia: mplayiE6POw: RIFF (little-endian) data, AVI, 1232 x 720, 23.98 fps, video: DivX 5, audio: MPEG-1 Layer 3 (stereo, 48000 Hz)
[10:31] <ikonia> adac: thats the stream file - not the movie
[10:31] <adac> ikonia: ok so I try to download it andd test it again
[10:31] <ikonia> adac: what is the url for the file please.
[10:31] <adac> ikonia: http://beta.vreel.net/watch_16039.html
[10:31] <moldy> ikonia: oh, that is cool. i could just schedule the update for night times, when the machine is not used. how do i enable auto updates? i would just have written a shell script that runs apt-get upgrade...
[10:32] <ikonia> moldy: 2 minutes, I think I have a document that does that, there are better ways than "apt-get update"
[10:32] <moldy> ikonia: thanks
[10:32] <ikonia> moldy: 2 minutes to see if I can dig it out
[10:33] <fwaokda> DistroJockey, something we did fixed it, it appears.  I just wanted to say, as a new comer to ubuntu, thanks.  You've been really REALLY helpful over and over again in here.
[10:33] <linduxed> ive got an ext.hdd. that naturally has vfat on it. now i need to put a whole deal of 4+ gig files on it and i cant reformat it right now to a better filesystem. is there any relatively painless way to fix this?
[10:33] <DistroJockey> fwaokda, glad to hear it's fixed and you're welcome. You are not sure what may have fixed it?
[10:34] <mrrrti> linduxed: can't windows upgrade in-place?
[10:34] <adac> ikonia: does it work the vis?
[10:34] <mrrrti> to ntfs, that is
[10:34] <adac> *vid
[10:34] <ikonia> adac: just downloading,
[10:34] <cool> linduxed, Use NTFS
[10:34] <adac> :)
[10:34] <fwaokda> DistroJockey, nope, although we i started to restart the computer before it went off it made a system beep whatever that means...
[10:34] <ikonia> linduxed: vat = 4gig limit - nothing you can do around that
[10:34] <adac> ikonia: but is there a download button? I can't find one
[10:35] <fwaokda> DistroJockey, then when it came back up everything is good to go
[10:35] <linduxed> mrrrti: plz elaborate, upgrade?
[10:35] <ikonia> adac: no, I'm waiting for it to buffer
[10:35] <SilentDis> linduxed: eep.  you could split the files using rar/zip/etc... but that's very innefective.  why not reformat to EXT2 or the like, so you won't have to worry about the journal, and just use the ext2 driver if ya need it on windows?
[10:35] <adac> ikonia: ok!
[10:35] <linduxed> cool: well i cant change the filesystem if ive got files there right?
[10:35] <ikonia> linduxed: correct
[10:35] <mrrrti> linduxed: yes, i think there is an option in windows where you can upgrade the filesystem from FAT32 to NTFS
[10:35] <DistroJockey> fwaokda, yeah, I think the sound system crashed on you and the reboot probably just restarted it up nice again
[10:35] <linduxed> ikonia: i was going for some way to say....automagically split files or something
[10:36] <mrrrti> linduxed: after that is done, you will naturally be able to put bigger files on it
[10:36] <fwaokda> awesome
[10:36] <linduxed> mrrrti: will look for it then
[10:36] <miki> siema
[10:36] <DistroJockey> fwaokda, are ways to restart sound without reboot, but as you had that sound thing in Updates, it was probably best to reboot :)
[10:36] <mrrrti> linduxed: yes, good luck!
[10:36] <linduxed> SilentDis: what driver is that?
[10:36] <miki> ?
[10:36] <cool> linduxed, you can
[10:36] <miki> ?
[10:36] <miki> ?
[10:36] <FloodBot1> miki: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[10:36] <ikonia> moldy: I can't find the document yet - still looking
[10:37] <SilentDis> linduxed: let me hit google and look around.  i know i used it for a while when i was swapping around myself... for all of about 3 weeks... lol
[10:37] <fwaokda> DistroJockey, ya sounded like a good course of action ;)
[10:38] <SilentDis> linduxed: http://www.fs-driver.org/
[10:38] <DistroJockey> fwaokda, if it happens frequently that sound stops, there is a deeper issue that will need looking into
[10:38] <cool> linduxed, try http://support.microsoft.com/kb/307881
[10:39] <DistroJockey> fwaokda, but I hope it doesn't :)
[10:39] <fwaokda> DistroJockey, alright well its even better than it was before. Used too I couldn't do multiple programs that required sound but now i can listen to billy joel and load up a flash trailer :)
[10:39] <SilentDis> linduxed: if you're going to use windows to change from fat to ntfs, f  air warning:  backup data before doing such a thing.  there is ALWAYS a chance of total data loss, then you'd be reformatting anyway
[10:39] <DistroJockey> fwaokda, great! One of the benefits of PulseAudio :)
[10:40] <Cyber_Stalker> hey every one, if i format my old pc with latest ubuntu what sort of desktop access will i have to it, its just a box at present, no mouse no keyboard screen etc
[10:40] <hl3> hi
[10:40] <Cyber_Stalker> will it be possible for me to access that machine from this windows based machine and be able to see the desktop and such?
[10:41] <hl3> how can I tell ubunu to stfu
[10:41] <christianp> hi all
[10:41] <ikonia> hl3: you can drop that attitude
[10:41] <hl3> ikonia: what is the command for that?
[10:41] <christianp> can anyone suggest me a good wifi scanner for ubuntu?
[10:41] <O_o> :)
[10:41] <cemunal> hi
[10:41] <mrrrti> Cyber_Stalker: yes, you can set up that
[10:41] <ikonia> hl3: ask your question in a polite way
[10:41] <christianp> when i search for networks in my NM it founds nothing
[10:41] <O_o> кто нибудь по-русски говорит?:)
[10:41] <hl3> ubuntu keeps beeping at me
[10:41] <erUSUL> !vnc | Cyber_Stalker
[10:41] <SilentDis> christianp: are you looking to break into wep encryption, or just find stuff that's out there?
[10:42] <ikonia> christianp: what sort of scanner
[10:42] <dynamethod> Hey ive just screwed up my X-server, the gnome DE doesnt load and im stuck with a black screen, is there some way to boot into ubuntu without X? via bash or something? i cant log in otherwise :S
[10:42] <erUSUL> !ssh > Cyber_Stalker
[10:42] <dynamethod> and also is there a command to view update history?
[10:42] <christianp> SilentDis, the last
[10:42] <erUSUL> dynamethod: choose recovery mode on grub menu
[10:42] <dynamethod> !boot
[10:42] <dynamethod> ah ok thanks
[10:42] <christianp> ikonia, first of all i need a tool to search for networks
[10:42] <adac> Cyber_Stalker: you can access over vnc or ssh -X. But you first have to set it up on the linux box.
[10:42] <dynamethod> and do you know the command to view apt-get install history?
[10:43] <ikonia> christianp: well, your wirless card should be able to scan and browse for available networks
[10:43] <Cyber_Stalker> !vnc > Cyber_Stalker
[10:43] <dynamethod> !apt-get history
[10:43] <christianp> ikonia, but it foends nothing
[10:43] <christianp> ffounds
[10:43] <trumbun> hi, is there a way to find what hardware I have in the system something like device manager in windows
[10:43] <dynamethod> !history
[10:43] <Cyber_Stalker> thanks erUSUL will it work nicely with windows to ubuntu vnc?
[10:43] <ikonia> christianp: maybe there is nothing available to you ?
[10:43] <ikonia> christianp: it will only find networks that are broadcasting
[10:43] <dynamethod> !apt-get
[10:43] <SilentDis> christianp: bear in mind, i'm on kubuntu here... but the built in stuff works pretty good.  kwifimanager is the app i use most often.
[10:43] <erUSUL> Cyber_Stalker: never tried but it should
[10:43] <Cyber_Stalker> oooh i dont like but it shoulds
[10:44] <Cyber_Stalker> :D
[10:44] <SilentDis> !info kwifimanager | christianp
[10:44] <christianp> SilentDis, i need kde library to install kwifimanager on ubuntu
[10:44] <christianp> ?
[10:44] <bXi> is there a command to manually lock my gnome session?
[10:44] <ikonia> bXi: ctrl+alt+l
[10:45] <dynamethod> does anyone know if theres a bash command to view apt-get install history?
[10:45] <SilentDis> christianp: yes, true.  i'm unsure what system you're using, and if such overhead (extra stuff in memory and extra stuff on drive) would be worthwhile... let me hit the package manager right quick and see what's there for gnome
[10:45] <christianp> ikonia, i'm searching for something like kwifimanager on gnome
[10:45] <bXi> ikonia: thats not really a command :p
[10:45] <ikonia> dynamethod: just view the dpkg.log
[10:45] <dynamethod> or view what the last files where changed by the last user logged in?
[10:45] <dynamethod> ikonia ah ok thanks
[10:45] <ikonia> bXi: xlock then
[10:45] <moldy> ikonia: thanks -- take your time, it's not that important :)
[10:45] <ikonia> christianp: network manager in gnome
[10:46] <dynamethod> ikonia do you also know if you can view the last config files changed by who and when via bash?
[10:46] <amber_> should viewing windows networks/shares be out of the box?
[10:46] <christianp> ikonia, how can i search for a network in network manager?
[10:46] <christianp> i can only add a network knowing the sid
[10:46] <ikonia> moldy: this isn't the document I was looking for but does give some excellent information and links and explains why there is no official "tool" to do this https://wiki.ubuntu.com/auto-update-blueprint
[10:47] <ikonia> dynamethod: dpkg log will show what got updates
[10:47] <trumbun> hi, is there a way to find what hardware I have in the system something like device manager in windows? Tells you have nvida graphic card, 2 network cards etc
[10:47] <SilentDis> !info wifi-radar | christianp
[10:47] <ikonia> christianp: are there any networks around you broadcasting ?
[10:47] <dynamethod> ikonia ah ok thanks
[10:47] <christianp> trumbun, lshw
[10:47] <amber_> ?
[10:48] <SilentDis> christianp: sorry if i'm a bit late in responses, i am at work.  lmao
[10:48] <christianp> SilentDis, np ;)
[10:48] <trumbun> there isn't something inbuilt
[10:48] <itai-michaelson> whats the best way of getting firefox3 in gutsy?
[10:49] <amber_> should viewing windows networks/shares be out of the box? on hardy - i cant seem to view anything. or connect to my main pc from this laptop
[10:49] <ikonia> itai-michaelson: its in backports i believe
[10:49] <mrrrti> itai-michaelson: http://packages.ubuntu.com/gutsy-backports/web/
[10:49] <SilentDis> christianp: one of the benifits of working the overnight at a gas station with wifi.  when the work's done, and it's slow... i can sit and read/play around on the lappy/watch tv lol
[10:50] <DistroJockey> trumbun, If you are after a GUI, gnome-device-manager  might do what you need
[10:50] <Raheem> amber_, afaik, it should be out of the box .. but, the opposite way requires samba
[10:50] <itai-michaelson> ikonia, mrrrti thanks
[10:50] <SilentDis> itai-michaelson: I believe it would be in backports...
[10:50] <SilentDis> !backports | itai-michaelson
[10:51] <bolla85> hi all
[10:51] <Raheem> bolla85, hello
[10:51] <trumbun> ok
[10:51] <trumbun> thanks
[10:51] <DistroJockey> trumbun, no problem
[10:52] <amber_> Raheem, hmm its a wireless adapter its on the net etc.
[10:52] <gordonjcp> I'm having some problems installing libasound2-dev, because libasound2-dev is looking for an older version of libasound
[10:52] <gordonjcp> any thoughts?
[10:53] <PeterP24> hi! when I try to install samba (sudo apt-get install samba) I get :  samba: Depends: samba-common (= 3.0.28a-1ubuntu4) but 3.0.28a-1ubuntu4.4 is to be installed
[10:53] <PeterP24> E: broken package -> any ideas?
[10:54] <Raheem> amber_, gone through this  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CategoryNetworking ?
[10:54] <Handcrafted> ﻿I need some help with installing matplotlib, can anybody help? When I install it through apt-get I get version 0.91.2 but I need at least version 0.98
[10:55] <hl3> Im on nvidia geforce 2.  When I run nvidia-xconfig and then restart, then gfx doesnt boot (it starts in safe graphics mode)
[10:55] <hl3> how to fix that
[10:56] <amber_> Raheem, avg isnt allowing it on my main pc for some unknown reason
[10:57] <johnny`> How do I start the xen service? I trying get virt-manager running in ubuntu hardy
[10:57] <Raheem> !xen
[10:57] <koshari> hl3 are you using the correct driver?
[10:57] <johnny`> the program is not xen
[10:58] <johnny`> it's virtual machine manager
[10:58] <johnny`> using xen as a hypervisor
[10:58] <hl3> koshari: xorg.conf sayd driver "nvidia",  dmesg:  nvidia: module license 'NVIDIA' taints kernel. NVRM: loading NVIDIA Linux x86 Kernel Module  96.43.05  Tue Jan 22 19:36:58 PST 2008
[10:58] <ikonia> hl3: please install the package "nvidia-glx-legacy"
[10:58] <hl3> ikonia: I did
[10:59] <ikonia> hl3: please show me in a pastebin the output of "dpkg -l | grep 0i nvidia"
[10:59] <koshari> hl3 its just there are different restricted binarys for the age of your card
[10:59] <b33r> Hello I want to change my integrated intel vga GMA3100 to something better any suggestions?
[10:59] <hl3> ikonia:  ii  nvidia-kernel-common    ii  nvidia-settings    ii  nvidia-xconfig
[10:59] <hl3> koshari: yes, I used -legacy already.
[10:59] <Nom-> Hi all.  Can anyone recommend a good software package for scheduling commands to be run across mutliple machines?  I want to distribute jobs based on available memory / current load on those machines rather than just statically assign via cron
[10:59] <ikonia> hl3: I said please show me the output of "dpkg -l | grep -i nvidia" in a pastebin - the full output, in a pastebin please.
[10:59] <koshari> hl3 i think the legacy package is for tnt/banshee ect
[11:00] <baron1984> b33r: Try a Geforce 8800
[11:00] <baron1984> they've come down a lot
[11:00] <ikonia> koshari: it can work better on some earlier geforce 2 cards too
[11:00] <ikonia> koshari: it's not documented, but Ive seen positive results
[11:00] <b33r> baron1984, can you be a bit more specific which brand and price, I'm willing to spend max $250
[11:00] <Handcrafted> can anyone help with my problem
[11:00] <koshari> ikonia i have uses mx2 32 cards using nvidia pretty well.
[11:01] <baron1984> b33r: In that case, Geforce 9 GTX, why not?
[11:01] <baron1984> :P
[11:01] <ikonia> koshari: I agree,
[11:01] <moldy> ikonia: ok, thank you
[11:01] <baron1984> 9800 GTX that is
[11:01] <b33r> how much does it cost? :/
[11:01] <SilentDis> b33r: $250?  wow, virtually any nvidia card with 256+ onboard will run wonderfully for you :)
[11:01] <baron1984> $250 should get him one with at least 512 megs
[11:01] <baron1984> if not a full gig
[11:01] <hl3> wtf
[11:01] <SilentDis> baron1984: exactly my point :)
[11:02] <hl3> insalling  nvidia-glx-legacy removes nvidia-xconfing ??? woot?
[11:02] <ikonia> hl3: please stop using phrases like "wtf" and "stfu"
[11:02] <b33r> well which brand do you recommend or can you give me a link for specs?
[11:02] <SilentDis> b33r: check out http://www.pricewatch.com/ and browse the nvidia vid cards there.  $250 will buy you a LOT of vid card :)
[11:02] <baron1984> omgwtfbbqroflcopter even?
[11:02] <baron1984> B-)
[11:02] <ikonia> hl3: you told me you already have nvidia-glx-legacy installed
[11:02] <hl3> ikonia: I did.  But then -xconfig removed it apparentlky
[11:02] <hl3> *apparently
[11:03] <hl3> probably that was the problem
[11:03] <SilentDis> b33r: basically, when it comes to linux, right now, your two options are the intel chipset (if you insist on totally open drivers) or nvidia if you demand awesome performance and don't mind closed source drivers
[11:03] <b33r> SilentDis, but which is better? asus? gigabyte? inno3d? sapphire? which one? :/
[11:03] <koshari> hl3 different nvidia config tools are compatable with the different binary
[11:03] <b33r> SilentDis, I already have an intel vga GMA3100
[11:04] <baron1984> ATI drivers just suck
[11:04] <SilentDis> b33r: hrm...  i actually have a budget evga nvidia card in my home box right now and it works wonderfully.
[11:04] <baron1984> there is no delicate way to put that
[11:04] <piko_water> any body using the tiscali ?
[11:04] <SilentDis> baron1984: ati keeps promising better... but yeah... they suck for linux right now lol
[11:04] <baron1984> Nvidia's drivers are awesome, because they replace about a third of your X Server
[11:04] <baron1984> and make it behave
[11:05] <baron1984> ATI's will never get better as long as they use DRI/DRM interface
[11:05] <baron1984> if you don't mind losing half your 3d performance, ATI is great
[11:06] <mmm4m5m> Help/Question about fsvs (svn) - how to import my old tar backups. Any fsvs irc channels around? Thank you.
[11:06] <baron1984> Nvidia is also the only one that supports full OpenGL on Linux
[11:06] <b33r> baron1984, yeah but some cards overheat and noisy I want to avoid such things and last time I bought a vga it was Gefore FX 5200 quiet a while ago so I'm not too familiar with the new ones
[11:06] <baron1984> run glxinfo on an Nvidia, and then again on any other brand
[11:07] <mmm4m5m> Help/Question about fsvs (svn) - how to import my old tar backups. Anyone with fsvs experience please? Thank you.
[11:07] <SilentDis> b33r: if you're looking for prod. reviews, check out http://www.tomshardware.com/, while they are a bit pretentious, you can usually boil it down to something understandable.
[11:07] <baron1984> I'll use an ATI card with the free driver, when it performs well
[11:07] <baron1984> til then, Nvidia
[11:08] <b33r> also should I go with DDR3 or DDR2?
[11:08] <baron1984> ATI opened all their specs cause they knew the community couldn't possibly do worse than FGLRX, FGLRX is evil
[11:08] <baron1984> GDDR3 you mean?
[11:08] <DistroJockey> baron1984, mine works fine. I suggest you go test one
[11:08] <baron1984> go for it
[11:09] <baron1984> I've had a couple ATI cards
[11:09] <b33r> and also I heard that 8800s overheat and noisy is that true?
[11:09] <baron1984> b33r: 3rd parties make the card
[11:09] <baron1984> it's up to them what to slap onto them
[11:10] <b33r> and my psu is only 350W will I have to change it too?
[11:10] <baron1984> XFX is a good one, they sell all theirs overclocked too
[11:10] <baron1984> b33r: Maybe, maybe not
[11:10] <b33r> ok ;/
[11:10] <baron1984> the watt rating is not a good measure of the PSU's capabilities
[11:10] <baron1984> a lot of them will say 500 watts with 65% efficiency
[11:10] <baron1984> or such
[11:11] <baron1984> don't just look at big numbers
[11:11] <b33r> o.O
[11:11] <baron1984> a lot of PC parts are crap
[11:11] <baron1984> and you just don't find out about that til it's in your case
[11:11] <b33r> lol
[11:11] <ActionParsnip> hey all
[11:12] <baron1984> I'm wrestling with a motherboard I should not have bought
[11:12] <ActionParsnip> baron1984: wassup
[11:12] <baron1984> I however am being a good citizen and biznatching my lungs out
[11:12] <baron1984> so someone else that googles it won't buy one
[11:12] <DistroJockey> !ot | baron1984
[11:13] <hl3> help
[11:13] <hl3> damn gfx now works,
[11:13] <hl3> but there are so
[11:13] <SilentDis> !enter | hl3
[11:14] <amber_> how do i make it so my windows pc or ubuntu pc doesnt ask for a username/password when i try to access a windows share
[11:14] <hl3> help!
[11:14] <ikonia> hl3: you've been asked a few times now to ask your question calmly and politly. Please try to remember that
[11:14] <hl3> how to stop
[11:14] <hl3> stupid gfx bug
[11:14] <hl3> that resets X each 1 minute
[11:14] <hl3> or so
[11:14] <DistroJockey> !ask | hl3
[11:14] <FloodBot1> hl3: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[11:14] <koshari> hl3 dont expect gf2 cards to set the would on fire with big resolution and all the effects BUT there still not to bad for say 1080 res with basic effects
[11:14] <ActionParsnip> hl3: lay off the enter key, it scrolls the room and is EXTREEMLY bad nettiquette
[11:15] <fisha17> co_gaul
[11:16] <SilentDis> do not invoke the wrath of the almighty floodbot, he has boots of steel and acts without remorse! :D
[11:16] <amber_> !samba
[11:16] <ActionParsnip> amber_: you can make your windows system remember the password for the connection
[11:17] <ActionParsnip> amber_: not sure in ubuntu, you could make a script to form the connection with the password in it. Its not that hard to type a password surely
[11:17] <hl3> awesome.
[11:17] <linduxed> while i understand linux could have pretty much any FS on a usb.hdd, is windows smart enough to understand anything else on a USB.HDD apart from VFAT?
[11:17] <hl3> ok Im back on safe driver.
[11:18] <hl3> nvidia and nv resets X after around 1 minute....
[11:18] <ActionParsnip> hl3: which nvidia driver did you install?
[11:18] <ikonia> linduxed: bottom line is for stability the only reasl cross platform file system is Vfat, with risk ntfs/ext3 can work in the other hosts
[11:18] <amber_> ActionParsnip, like from my 2nd windows machine i can browse my primary windows machine 's shares without getting a username and password request popup dialog. why does ubuntu get one? can i make it not appear . there is no useraccounts on my windowsxp that has a password
[11:18] <soneil> linduxed: I bought seagate usb drive lately that came preformatted ntfs, so I assume so.  vfat is just standard for .. yeah, what he said
[11:18] <ActionParsnip> hl3: and which nvidia card do you have?
[11:18] <cosmodad> I've attached a hard disk over a USB<->SATA converter, but cannot manage to actually access the disk. What do I need to do after plugging in the USB connector into my laptop? (dmesg shows new sdb references)
[11:19] <prymal> i'm hopeful that someone can clarify for me...
[11:19] <prymal> of all the apache packages, what's teh difference?!
[11:19] <ActionParsnip> amber_: add the permissions to the share with the same username and password you log in with
[11:19] <hl3> I use now:  nvidia-glx  and Im on geforece 2
[11:19] <amber_> ActionParsnip, i did: amber@ubuntu:~$ sudo net usershare add Desktop /home/amber/Desktop/ guest_ok=y
[11:19] <hl3> ActionParsnip, ikonia ^
[11:19] <ActionParsnip> hl3: id uninstall it and try the legacy one
[11:19] <hl3> ok...
[11:19] <rockenrola> hi. does someone know of a terminal application to append several mp3 files?
[11:20] <ActionParsnip> amber_: do you log into linux as guest?
[11:20] <linduxed> soneil: ikonia: ok ill try ntfs
[11:20] <ActionParsnip> amber_: whatever username you log into linux with
[11:21] <ActionParsnip> amber_: add that username with the same password on the windows side
[11:21] <ActionParsnip> and disable guest, its asking for pain
[11:22] <rockenrola> or is there any channel related to audio?
[11:22] <DistroJockey> rockenrola, maybe try:  cat 1.mp3 2.mp3 > 1-2.mp3
[11:22] <ActionParsnip> rockenrola: just ask in here
[11:24] <DistroJockey> rockenrola, make sure 1-2.mp3 doesn't exist first (just incase it replaces it)
[11:24] <rockenrola> DistroJockey: how about the headers, and id3 tags?
[11:24] <rockenrola> ActionParsnip: I need to append several mp3 files
[11:24] <DistroJockey> rockenrola, I'm guessing that would be a problem
[11:25] <cosmodad> rockenrola: apt-cache lists "quelcom" as a tool to be able to join MP3 files.
[11:25] <ActionParsnip> rockenrola: audacity does it but i believe the CLI command willwork fine. You will have to retag though
[11:25] <cosmodad> rockenrola: try that, it can handle MP3 overhead.
[11:26] <AdvoWork> am i right in thinking: 0 0 1 * * /usr/bin/php /var/www/insert.php will run the php file on the 1st day at every month?
[11:26] <ActionParsnip> rockenrola: easytag or tagtool
[11:26] <hl3> same hing
[11:26] <hl3> thing
[11:26] <rockenrola> ActionParsnip: isn't that for tags?
[11:26] <ActionParsnip> rockenrola: yeah man
[11:26] <rockenrola> cosmodad: will check that out
[11:27] <hl3> with nvidia-glx-legacy and driver "nvidia" I get resets of X each minute.  dmesg:  glxinfo[6190]: segfault at 00000000 eip b7f36aaf esp bfe6f60c error 4
[11:27] <ActionParsnip> !mp3wrap | rockenrola
[11:27] <rockenrola> ActionParsnip: my problem isn't tags
[11:27] <ActionParsnip> !info mp3wrap | rockenrola
[11:27] <ActionParsnip> hl3: are you fully updated?
[11:27] <rockenrola> sounds good
[11:27] <hl3> ActionParsnip: yes, on 8.04 i486
[11:27] <hl3> i386
[11:28] <hl3> 7.10 worked fine
[11:28] <ActionParsnip> hl3: so if you run sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade you get no updates
[11:28] <Sindacious> !vmware
[11:28] <hl3> ActionParsnip: yes.  0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
[11:29] <ActionParsnip> hl3: have you recently upgraded to hardy?
[11:29] <ActionParsnip> from gutsy or earlier
[11:29] <hl3> ActionParsnip: this is a fresh install of 8.0
[11:29] <hl3> 8.04
[11:29] <ActionParsnip> hmm ok thats cool
[11:29] <hl3> and it failed to work :(
[11:29] <ActionParsnip> !envy | hl3
[11:29] <hl3> ActionParsnip: whats that?
[11:30] <ActionParsnip> hl3: its an easy way to install restricted drivers and worked for my onboard nvidia. If you run gnome you'll need envying-gtk and kde use enving-qt
[11:31] <hl3> ActionParsnip: so I should use this driver instead of normal  nvidia-glx-legacy? this one is better?
[11:31] <ActionParsnip> hl3: its the same deal, just seems to install it right
[11:31] <koshari> hl3 i think you should try nvidia-glx
[11:31] <koshari> dump the legacy one
[11:31] <ActionParsnip> hl3: thats what i find, millions would disagree, millions would agree
[11:31] <timsandtoms> How do I run something from terminal?
[11:31] <minimec> Hi folks. Imagine you have two machines with the same AMD X2Processor in it and after the Ubuntu installation one is running with both CPU's, the other only with one. How can that be and what can I do?
[11:31] <fde> hl3: If your card is legacy, do not use envyng ... it simply won't work... it's intended for new cards only.
[11:31] <koshari> hl3 just dont use nvidia-glx-new
[11:32] <ActionParsnip> !terminal | timsandtoms
[11:32]  * hl3 tries it
[11:32] <hl3> bw... why this is not the default then?
[11:33] <fde> hl3: because they aren't well tested.
[11:33] <ActionParsnip> hl3: its not official, some guys made it
[11:33] <ActionParsnip> hl3: but if it works its cool
[11:34] <fde> !envyng
[11:34] <ph8> i've just got xsensors working and have a classic question, i can see all my vcore1/2 +3.3V +5V voltages etc. how do i know what a good range for them to be in is?
[11:35] <timsandtoms> ActionParsnip, that page isn't really much help. But it's ok :D I just remembered I needed ./filename to run one thats in my current directory.
[11:35] <Abed> how tp use tcpspy???
[11:35] <Abed> to*
[11:35] <ActionParsnip> timsandtoms: well if you open terminal you'll get a black box. Thats the CLI
[11:36] <ActionParsnip> if you want it to run you'll need to use chmod u+u ./filename to make it executable
[11:36] <ActionParsnip> u+x sorry
[11:36] <DistroJockey> Abed,  man tcpspy  is a good place to start
[11:36] <Abed> thnx DisroJockey
[11:36] <fde> Abed: man tcpspy or look in /usr/share/doc/<package>
[11:36] <ActionParsnip> timsandtoms: then to execute it simply type ./filename
[11:36] <DistroJockey> Abed, no problem
[11:36] <ActionParsnip> timsandtoms: assuming you are in the same directory as the file in question
[11:37] <timsandtoms> ActionParsnip, :P I know, I just said that I'd merely forgotten to put ./ infront of the file. I got it ok now.
[11:37]  * fde personally prefers wireshark or nessus
[11:37] <ActionParsnip> timsandtoms: haha an easy mistake, i put it in windows stuff now out of habit
[11:38] <thinkgnuo|O> anybody knows this error about packaging >> unstripped-binary-or-object  >> lintian output
[11:38] <ActionParsnip> timsandtoms: and always laugh at myself for slinging ls into a cmd shell

[11:53] <DistroJockey> !repeat | Administrator_
[11:53] <Administrator_> I have already searched.
[11:54] <Kardoso> If I install Ubuntu in OEM mode then I have write the name, pass, etc at the first start?
[11:54] <DistroJockey> Administrator_, I suggest you let us know what the warning was at the very least
[11:54] <fsloke> sendfax -f "myname@mydomain.com" -R -r "faxsubject" -c "coverpage comments" -x "Recipient's company" -d "Recipient@21611089" faxcover.ps
[11:55] <fsloke> the error problem gone...
[11:55] <Administrator_> Ok let me see what it was again brb
[11:55] <fsloke> Now the cursor only blinking there...
[11:55] <hl3> sigh

[11:56] <fsloke> how can I check whether the sendFax command is executed
[11:57] <DistroJockey> fsloke, is it sendfax or sendFax ?
[11:57] <DistroJockey> fsloke, you have used both so far
[11:58] <fsloke> sendfax
[11:58] <DistroJockey> fsloke, ps -e  will show what is currently running/sleeping
[11:59] <DistroJockey> fsloke, and   top   is also useful
[11:59] <ActionParsnip> hl3: you should be able to, just use vesa drivers. i cant see you pulling any 3d goodness with a geforce2
[11:59] <ActionParsnip> hl3: can i see your xorg.conf
[12:00] <mylfoon> connect katowice.ircnet.pl/moorie

[12:12] <ActionParsnip> benovic: you need to install the restricted driver set and its ok. i had the same
[12:12] <Administrator__> Ok so would I have to put the windows cd in the drive to get to the delete partion part or is there anyway to delete the partition without having to insert the windows cd?
[12:12] <benovic> ActionParsnip, can you provide me a link?
[12:13] <ActionParsnip> benovic: run gksudo adept_installer and search

[12:14] <hl3> yet ubuntu team refused to turn this ***** off by default
[12:14] <Administrator__> DistroJocket, Ok so would I have to put the windows cd in the drive to get to the delete partion part or is there anyway to delete the partition without having to insert the windows cd?
[12:14] <ActionParsnip> Illuzionz: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/how-to-linux-disable-or-turn-off-beep-sound-for-terminal/

[12:14] <Illuzionz> Ok got it, thnx all
[12:14] <ActionParsnip> hl3: I think the default wallpaper is garbage but i dont whinge
[12:14] <hl3> Illuzionz: even with disabled  terminal beep,  still konsole will annoy you in example in  vim.  and system will annoy you with various other stupid beeps
[12:14] <DistroJockey> Administrator__, the installer for Ubuntu will let you partition the drive
[12:15] <ActionParsnip> and the default colours
[12:15] <hl3> ActionParsnip: then make an option!  duuuh
[12:15] <Administrator__> Ok cheers I will check it out
[12:15] <ActionParsnip> hl3: so how many options do you have? it will confuse new users
[12:15] <hl3> (*)  I want ubuntu to STFU    ( ) yes, I want annoying beeping from xterm, konsole, vim, bash, and various other occassions
[12:15] <ActionParsnip> hl3: its not hard to disable with a simple websearch
[12:15] <Kardoso> Should I install Ubuntu to an 5 GB partition? Or better if I resize it to bigger? (if yes, please tell me the shoulded size!)

[12:16] <fsloke> The command is:
[12:16] <hl3> ActionParsnip: I have 5 users, times: xterm, vim, system = 15 operations.   I prefer 1 option.
[12:16] <ActionParsnip> hl3: in kde its notification and you can turn off all beepy sounds
[12:16] <hl3> or make a general  /etc/shush  option
[12:16] <fsloke> sendfax -n -d 551212 /etc/passwd
[12:17] <fsloke> after a while the error still occur the same as above

[12:20] <Kardoso> slobad - no

[12:21] <ActionParsnip> hl3: well you find it irritating, so change it
[12:21] <ActionParsnip> hl3: mute :)
[12:21] <DRebellion> ogzy, use debuild to make a source package and then build it with pbuilder
[12:21] <slobad23> 5 gb does seem a bit small - if you have the space i would try to give at least 10. there is nothing to stop you using partition magic or something similar to extend/shrink it later
[12:21] <fsloke> ArctionParsnip need help
[12:22] <casa_> irc-hispano.org
[12:22] <Kardoso> I have Partition Magic 8 (boot CD) but it say an error and wont resize my 160 GB partition
[12:22] <DistroJockey> hl3, are you talking about the System Beep that can be turned of using  System - Preferences - Sound ?
[12:23] <slobad23> well if you have 160 gb play around with, i see no reason to assign only 5gb to ubuntu :-P
[12:23] <ogzy> DRebellion, how about this, dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -b
[12:23] <ActionParsnip> fsloke: sup?
[12:24] <benovic> ActionParsnip, sorry maybe I was wrong. I have a Intel Por wireless  3945ABG thing
[12:24] <Kardoso> slobad23: I know :), but I cant resize the partition (PQ magic wont enable it.....)
[12:24] <slobad23> i had some problems with partition magic last time i used it on an hp laptop. can't say i know anything about fixing it - i just used qparted from a knoppix disk and it sorted it without problems
[12:24] <vise> mi sono preso un virus sull' hard disk di windows. è possibile eliminarlo da ubuntu?
[12:24] <DRebellion> ogzy, that looks okay, but it really depends on what you are planning to do with the package. For example, are you building with a dev version of ubuntu; are you submitting it to the archive, etc etc
[12:25] <benovic> ActionParsnip, it happened after I updated. is there a way to roll back the last update?
[12:25] <ActionParsnip> benovic: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=305662
[12:25] <DistroJockey> Kardoso, what is on that partition atm, and do you need to keep anything from it?
[12:25] <Administrator_> Hi in the installer I dont see an option to delete the partition, Any tutorials on this distrojockey?
[12:25] <Kardoso> On the 160 GB partition there is a Windows Vista
[12:25] <ActionParsnip> Kardoso: my condolences
[12:25] <slobad23> there are other ways of course - you can use slackware, and if you feel comfortable enough - use cfdisk to partition the drive
[12:25] <slobad23> there is a what?
[12:25] <Kardoso> Yes, just for my job
[12:26] <slobad23> A WHAT!?
[12:26] <FloodBot1> slobad23: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[12:26] <ActionParsnip> Kardoso: like what?
[12:26] <Administrator_> Ok I will use manuel
[12:27] <Kardoso> Flash 8, Dreamweaver
[12:27] <Kardoso> etc..
[12:27] <fsloke> ArctionParsnip do you got user the HylaFax b4?
[12:27] <ActionParsnip> Kardoso: they run in crossover office
[12:27] <DRebellion> Kardoso, you can use WINE
[12:27] <ActionParsnip> fsloke: no sorry man
[12:27] <DistroJockey> Administrator_, if using Manual, make sure you create an  ext3 /  and a swap
[12:28] <ActionParsnip> fsloke: some email clients can do faxing
[12:28] <Kardoso> DRebellion: What? Theese programs are run in WINE?
[12:28] <DRebellion> Kardoso, i believe dreamweaver is like a gold/platinum rating or something
[12:29] <ActionParsnip> Kardoso: or you could use bluefish

[12:31] <ActionParsnip> troythetechguy_: are you fully updated?

[12:32] <troythetechguy_> ActionParsnip: Yes, fully updated.
[12:32] <Kardoso> ActionParsnip: Because, I dont need to run theese programs every day, just sometimes, I want to install Ubuntu next to Windows. Is there anyway I can install Ubuntu next to Windows?

[12:32] <mrrrti> troythetechguy_: do you have a screenshot for us?
[12:32] <Deathcore^> i just have installed boinic but i dont can connect to the "boinic-client" can some one help?
[12:32] <gjut> BonezAU: Try Synaptic
[12:32] <ActionParsnip> Kardoso: you can dual boot easily
[12:33] <troythetechguy_> mrrrti: I can take one, but where should I post it?
[12:33] <ActionParsnip> Kardoso: or run a virtual box
[12:33] <ActionParsnip> troythetechguy_: gimme a sec, websearching
[12:33] <mrrrti> dual booting is not an option in my opinion. native > wine > virtualbox > dual boot
[12:33] <BonezAU> gjut, what do I search for? I don't see any thing obvious
[12:33] <Mulder2008> quit

[12:34] <DistroJockey> troythetechguy, does changing the options in  System - Preferences - Appearance > Fonts (rendering)  help?
[12:35] <Kardoso> ActionParsnip: Should I install Ubuntu with wubi.exe? Will my system dual-boot? Does wubi.exe work with Windows Vista?
[12:36] <ActionParsnip> Kardoso: i know of wubi but ive never used it, you'll be running ubuntu inside of windows
[12:36] <mrrrti> !wubi
[12:36] <troythetechguy_> ActionParsnip: Thanks.  I read this earlier, and it recommends deleting ~/.fonts.conf, but this file does not exist on my system.
[12:36] <fsloke> may I know how to install a modem into Ubuntu?
[12:36] <Kardoso> ActionParsnip: Ok. thank you for the help
[12:37] <dynamethod> does anyone know of some data recovery software to recover deleted files from a ntfs partition via ubuntu?
[12:37] <troythetechguy_> DistroJockey: It did make a difference when I changed it to subpixel smoothing LCD, but it's still tough on the eyes.
[12:37] <ActionParsnip> dynamethod: easy recovery pro
[12:37] <DistroJockey> troythetechguy, *nods*
[12:37] <asa_> hi
[12:38] <gordonjcp> hi, I'm having a problem installing the python-dev package - I get the error python-dev: Depends: python2.5-dev (>= 2.5.2) but it is not going to be installed
[12:38] <Kardoso> Can I use any USB netcards in Ubuntu like as T-Mobile 3G Netcard?
[12:38] <dynamethod> ActionParsnip i cant find it :S
[12:38] <cafree> I was logged in remotely to my box using ubuntu's remote desktop (vnc) functionality and all the sudden it stopped responding.  Is there a way to reset it?
[12:38] <gordonjcp> attempting to install python2.5-dev gives a similar error
[12:38] <troythetechguy_> Interestingly, on the "details" section of "fonts" under "appearance", I notice a difference when I change from slight to medium hinting, but not when I change from medium to full.
[12:39] <ActionParsnip> dynamethod: http://www.google.co.uk/search?source=ig&hl=en&rlz=1G1GGLQ_ENUK248&=&q=easy+recovery+pro&btnG=Google+Search
[12:39] <ActionParsnip> dynamethod: you could just restore from backup
[12:39] <dynamethod> got no backup :S
[12:39] <troythetechguy_> I'm not sure if this is any indication of what maybe wrong.
[12:39] <ActionParsnip> dynamethod: why not. your data is not important?
[12:39] <dynamethod> its not my data, my mates
[12:39] <gjut> Anyone here running an old graphics card? I run a TNT2 using the legacy drivers on Hardy Heron, but cannot get the resolution any higher than 800x600... I read something about bugs, am not sure if there are workaounds
[12:39] <ActionParsnip> dynamethod: then its not important to him
[12:40] <ActionParsnip> gjut: can we see your xorg.conf
[12:40] <dynamethod> but they want it back, so it must be ;)
[12:40] <ActionParsnip> !paste | gjut
[12:40] <mrrrti> gjut: i don't know if this is the recommended way, but have you tried manually editing xorg.conf?
[12:40] <DistroJockey> BonezAU, take a look at the following post (use at your own risk) : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=311158
[12:40] <gjut> ActionParsnip: Where do i paste it?
[12:40] <troythetechguy_> Another find is when I run nvidia-settings, the resolution is shown as 86x84 dots per inch.  I thought this should be 96X96, the dpi size I selected for fonts.
[12:40] <ActionParsnip> gjut: the link ubotu gave
[12:40] <gjut> ok :)
[12:41] <ActionParsnip> then give us the address of the page when youve clicked paste
[12:42] <ActionParsnip> dynamethod: get a copy of easy recovery pro and run it on the disk in another pc
[12:42] <Kardoso> ActionParsnip: Does Ubuntu support any USB net modems like as T-Mobile 3G netmodem? I got a software for it in Windows, will Ubuntu support it without the manager software?
[12:42] <troythetechguy_> The video card is detected correctly, and the proper driver is installed.  Does it make a difference that nvidia-settings shows EMA e15t4 (CRT-0) for my monitor, and my monitor is e15t4 LCD?
[12:42] <ActionParsnip> Kardoso: never tried man, sorry
[12:42] <DistroJockey> troythetechguy, so it's not a totally fresh install. You have nvidia binary drivers installed right?
[12:42] <Twigathy_> troythetechguy_: "CRT-0" is just an identifier, ignore it :)
[12:42] <Twigathy_> iirc...
[12:43] <DistroJockey> troythetechguy_, ^
[12:43] <error404notfound> suppose if I am a network admin, how can I detect if anyone gobbling up the bandwidth?
[12:43] <Twigathy_> iftop is a neat little tool
[12:43] <troythetechguy_> DistroJockey: Well, it's a fresh install, and then I installed the nvidia drivers.
[12:43] <Twigathy_> There's another good web based one but I don't remember the name of it >_<
[12:43] <troythetechguy_> Twigathy_: Thanks.

[12:43] <muntrue> Hey everyone! i need some help installing VirtualBox. Its driving me insane. I keep getting the following message ; Could not find VirtualBox installation. Please reinstall.
[12:44] <ActionParsnip> gjut: good job
[12:44] <Kardoso> ACtionParsnip: Its ok. I'm sorry.      If anony can please answer to my previous message
[12:44] <gjut> ActionParsnip: ;)
[12:44] <mrrrti> gjut: only 800x600 shows under Screen Resolution?
[12:44] <muntrue> DistroJockey, Hey remember me ? I finally got that ATI card working :)
[12:44] <gjut> mrrrti: yes, despite my xorg settings
[12:44] <slobad23> kardosa - i tried to get my t-mobile 3g stick working without any success
[12:45] <DistroJockey> muntrue, remember the name :) Excellent! :)
[12:45] <slobad23> :-(
[12:45] <muntrue> DistroJockey, Had to remove Hardy and go with Gutsy tho. but atleast its working
[12:45] <DistroJockey> muntrue, while not the best outcome, whatever works I guess :)
[12:46] <muntrue> DistroJockey, Strange thing is, the exact same thing i tried in hardy, somehow worked in gutsy..
[12:46] <DistroJockey> muntrue, not that strange really
[12:46] <gjut> mrrrti: using the nv I had nothing higher than 640x480.
[12:46] <Kardoso> Slobad23: Oh. I read it sadly. thanks for help
[12:46] <troythetechguy_> muntrue: I'm about to do the same, remove hardy and go back to gutsy due to font issue.  What was your issue?
[12:47] <mrrrti> gjut: you've edited the Monitor section yourself?
[12:47] <muntrue> troythetechguy, My ATI card was acting up all weird. Refresh rate looked extremely slow and compiz was a no go
[12:47] <Kardoso> slobad23: :(
[12:47] <gjut> mrrrti: Yes... ?
[12:47] <DistroJockey> troythetechguy_, first I would try without installing the restricted/binary nvidia drivers
[12:47] <betim> where does xfontsel look for fonts?
[12:47] <ActionParsnip> gjut: heres my section screen: http://paste.ubuntu.com/29279/
[12:47] <muntrue> Hey everyone! i need some help installing VirtualBox. Its driving me insane. I keep getting the following message ; Could not find VirtualBox installation. Please reinstall.
[12:48] <mrrrti> ActionParsnip: don't think his problem is with the monitor settings?
[12:48] <ZeroA4> muntrue, did you install from the .deb ?
[12:48] <troythetechguy_> DistroJockey: When I did the fresh install, the only resolution available was 800 x 600, which is too big.  I had to install the nvidia driver to get a 1024 x 768 resolution.
[12:48] <slobad23> how do i get ubuntu to show file extensions?
[12:48] <MaximLevitsky> Sorry for asking this, but how I can install manpages for glibc functions like ioctl (can't seem to find this anywhere, I double checked synaptic, and launchpad)
[12:48] <ActionParsnip> mrrrti: looks ok to me
[12:49] <muntrue> ZeroA4, I did that too but then Virtualbox is not showing up anywhere. Its not in the applications and terminal tells me to install virtualbox via apt-get
[12:49] <DistroJockey> troythetechguy_, was that using  vesa  or  nv  ?
[12:49] <ZeroA4> estrange
[12:49] <muntrue> ZeroA4, The apt-get one works, is showing up in application but is just not starting. giving me the above message
[12:49] <ActionParsnip> gjut: backup your xorg.conf and add the lines i pastebinned, should give you 1024x768
[12:49] <MaximLevitsky> slobad23:  in which program?
[12:49] <gjut> ActionParsnip: I pasted your into mine. I'll restart X now, or?
[12:50] <slobad23> ubuntu 8.04 running gnome - i want to have the file extensions visible all the time
[12:50] <mrrrti> gjut: add the fallback to 800x600
[12:50] <troythetechguy_> DistroJockey: Good question.  I imaged the fresh install withou the nvidia driver installed so I can quickly get back to a clean install.  Would this information be in my xorg.conf file?
[12:50] <DistroJockey> troythetechguy_, and  nv  is not the same as  nvidia  btw
[12:50] <gjut> mrrrti: How?
[12:50] <slobad23> using the default nautilus 2.22.3 that comes with it
[12:50] <mrrrti> gjut: add it to the line of resolutions
[12:50] <MaximLevitsky> slobad23:  What program you want them to be usable? nautilus?
[12:51] <mrrrti> gjut: i think the problem is with your vertical and horizontal refresh rates though
[12:51] <DistroJockey> troythetechguy_, probably won't be in xorg.conf as that has been made "automatic"
[12:51] <mrrrti> !modeline | gjut
[12:51] <MaximLevitsky> I think that file extensions aren't hidden by default in any program
[12:51] <gjut> mrrrti: What does a fallbacl line look like? (it is my 2nd day with ubuntu)
[12:51] <mrrrti> what resolution do you want?
[12:51] <Kardoso> ActionParsnip: What are in the "Lost+Found" directory? Why are that directory blocked?
[12:52] <gjut> mrrrti: The Hor/Vert were added by me
[12:52] <mrrrti> gjut: and always make a backup copy of your xorg.conf before saving/replacing
[12:52] <slobad23> well i have just saved an html doc from bluefish and it doesnt show it as ".html" but just the name of the file
[12:52] <gjut> I guess 1024 to 1280 would be the expected
[12:52] <muntrue> ZeroA4, Any ideas ?
[12:52] <mrrrti> gjut: what _resolution_ do you want? and is it a CRT or TFT screen?
[12:52] <mrrrti> ok
[12:52] <MaximLevitsky> slobad23:  sorry for not noticing, nautilus here shows file extensions
[12:52] <ActionParsnip> Kardoso: if its in the menu, I think its stuff thats not been assigned
[12:53] <MaximLevitsky> slobad23: I don't see an option  to turn them on/off
[12:53] <gjut> It is an old Samtron 75E, perhaps eigth years
[12:53] <troythetechguy_> DistroJockey: So if I install the image, where would I find if it's NV or Vesa?
[12:53] <fsloke> how you all learn ubuntu?
[12:53] <Kardoso> ActionParsnip: In Nautilus
[12:53] <gjut> fsloke: trial and error?
[12:53] <mrrrti> fsloke: read and google :)
[12:53] <ZeroA4> muntrue, i think i need to create some groups and add my user to those groups... but the error i got said so
[12:53] <DistroJockey> troythetechguy_, not to sure on that sorry
[12:53] <MaximLevitsky> slobad23: maybe you want to see hidden files
[12:53] <fsloke> oic
[12:53] <ActionParsnip> Karlprof: no idea man, sorry
[12:53] <fsloke> :)
[12:53] <fsloke> u all no a develper right
[12:53] <muntrue> ZeroA4, :S I ment with my Virtualbox error hehe
[12:53] <fsloke> ubuntu deve?
[12:54] <MaximLevitsky> Anyway anybody know which package contains glibc manpages?
[12:54] <slobad23> i must have done something dodgey with my bluefish saved file - i am in home in examples folder and files show extensions - i was just confused that it wasnt showing as ".html" but was still recognised as being a web page
[12:54] <fsloke> not ubuntu developer?
[12:54] <mrrrti> fsloke: i think many of us started long before it was this easy to get started with linux... so you had to know what you were doing to get anything running
[12:54] <ZeroA4> muntrue, dont know... i really just double clic on the .deb...
[12:54] <muntrue> Hey everyone! i need some help installing VirtualBox. Its driving me insane. I keep getting the following message ; Could not find VirtualBox installation. Please reinstall.

[12:55] <Kardoso> ActionParsnip: Thanks, I'll check it :)
[12:55] <DistroJockey> MaximLevitsky, may be better using  info  instead of  man

[12:56] <mrrrti> gjut: make a copy of your working configuration
[12:56] <ActionParsnip> MaximLevitsky: probably glibc
[12:56] <MaximLevitsky> DistroJockey:  I tried that, I am not that stupid

[12:57] <fsloke> the problem is... the HylaFax forum x so active... :(
[12:58] <MaximLevitsky> DistroJockey: I already installed that package (with man pages) on my home computer, and I remember that it had very unintuitive name, I don't remember it now again, and can't find this in synaptic
[12:58] <ActionParsnip> MaximLevitsky: use cli and try tab completing the package
[12:58] <DistroJockey> MaximLevitsky, I saw a description of:  Contains The GNU C Library Reference manual in info and html format as well as the man pages for libpthread functions and the complete GNU C Library ChangeLog.
[12:59] <ActionParsnip> MaximLevitsky: sudo apt-get glibc then press tab
[12:59] <DistroJockey> MaximLevitsky, just thought it may help
[12:59] <Pici> MaximLevitsky: I think you're looking for manpages-dev
[12:59] <Pici> !info manpages-dev
[13:00] <fsloke> sudo mean u can install any app
[13:01] <fsloke> sudo will ask for your password
[13:01] <DistroJockey> !sudo | fsloke
[13:01] <MaximLevitsky> Pici: thanks a million, I tried just manpages, but skipped this one, I will now write this down
[13:01] <fsloke> ya... super user can install the application
[13:02] <fsloke> using apt-get
[13:02] <niruto> hello
[13:02] <Pici> fsloke: Do you have a question?
[13:02] <fsloke> no
[13:03] <MaximLevitsky> Pici: I guess that manpages-dev really should be called glibc-manpages
[13:03] <Pici> MaximLevitsky: Its an odd name for a package, I agree.
[13:03] <DistroJockey> MaximLevitsky, or better yet, have them as part of  glibc-doc :)
[13:04] <MaximLevitsky> DistroJockey:  I agree %100
[13:04] <mouser-> I'm upgrading ubuntu to 8.04 and it has hung at "Generating locales..." specifically "en.AU.UTF-8..."  Is there a way I can recover the installation?  The computer is still responsive, just not the upgrade.
[13:04] <MaximLevitsky> mouser-: this is normal
[13:04] <MaximLevitsky> mouser-:  it takes lots of time to update the locales
[13:05] <mgreen> gjut: success?
[13:05] <MaximLevitsky> mouser-:  open the dropdown terminal to see progress there
[13:06] <mgreen> gjut: i think you need to specify HorizSync and VertRefresh
[13:06] <mouser-> MaximLevitsky: That's where I saw the progress.  Does "lots of time" include 14 hours?
[13:06] <gjut> mgreen: no, still 800x600. And now the only thing showing in the options are 640x480, even if im at the larger
[13:06] <marowit> hi, does anybody know how to restore network settings to default. Power went off while i was setting up pppoeconf and know the network won't start. I removed pppoe setting from interfaces but still not working.
[13:06] <MaximLevitsky> mouser-:  that's ridiculous.
[13:07] <DistroJockey> mouser-, seen a few people have that issue, must be a bug report by now
[13:07] <DistroJockey> MaximLevitsky, seen a few with this issue
[13:07] <mgreen> gjut: let's try to figure out your values for HorizSync and VertRefresh
[13:07] <niruto> how i can see movies from vreel in my ubuntu ?
[13:08] <MaximLevitsky> mouser-:  take a look at 'top' output, or htop and try to locate hung process, it should be a child of dpkg, or apt
[13:08] <gjut> It is a Samtron 75E (17')
[13:08] <mgreen> yeah, i googled it
[13:09] <MaximLevitsky> DistroJockey: I mean that what I said about long time doesn't include 14 hours, obivosly this is a bug
[13:09] <DistroJockey> MaximLevitsky, ahh, k
[13:09] <b33r> Hey baron1984 I got Geforce 8800 512mb DDR3

[13:10] <mgreen> gjut: add a couple of more resolutions, and make sure you put it under depth 24
[13:11] <mouser-> Though it's a plus to linux that the computer is still very operational and not sluggish even given that.
[13:11] <MaximLevitsky> mouser-: you can kill try to kill this process
[13:11] <mgreen> gjut: let me know when you've tried this. also, you saw my recommendation about backup copy of xorg.conf, right?
[13:11] <mouser-> MaximLevitsky: OK
[13:12] <MaximLevitsky> mouser-: apt probably will complain about errors  in locale package, but you can reinstall/reconfigure it later
[13:12] <DistroJockey> mouser-, MaximLevitsky : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/langpack-locales/+bug/249340
[13:12] <mouser-> MaximLevitsky: Done, but apt doesn't seem to have noticed it's free yet.

[13:15] <troy_> yeah, my nick changed, I must not have saved it from previous login
[13:15] <mouser-> Thanks DistroJockey.  It required a "killall" but that seemed to do it.
[13:15] <mgreen> troy_: post your xorg.conf to pastebin. though i don't think the issue is with the screen config

[13:20] <gjut> Yes, I changed it once adding Actions suggestions
[13:20] <muntrue> DistroJockey, I dont think the problem is in setting up. the installation process runs fine but it just wont start
[13:20] <jay__> ok so now im using Gparted, i have 50 GB of space not partitioned or used or anything it is showing as ext3 file system, and i do not see an option to "format" it , sorry i am new to linux and switching from windows
[13:20] <mgreen> yes, but his suggestions might have not been right, i'll craft a new one for you, based on the original one
[13:20] <muntrue> DistroJockey, The .deb installs fine too. But after that there is no virtualbox to be found anywhere..
[13:20] <central> sorry
[13:20] <DistroJockey> muntrue, you added the vbox user etc. ?
[13:20] <mgreen> central: try again with pastebin
[13:21] <central> oki start with the console
[13:21] <muntrue> DistroJockey, No not yet, the only user is root now. But that shouldnt stop it from running / showing up
[13:21] <central> but how to tell you whats wrong ?
[13:21] <MaximLevitsky> jay__:  first be carefull with partition editing, then yes gparted is I think the best partition editor
[13:21] <DistroJockey> muntrue, umm
[13:21] <muntrue> DistroJockey, I dont meen that the virtual machine wont start. The entire application wont work. -> Could not find VirtualBox installation. Please reinstall.
[13:21] <MaximLevitsky> jay__: in linux that is
[13:22] <gjut> mgreen: strange. There are many new lines, he did not add either...
[13:22] <DistroJockey> muntrue, "only user is root" what do you mean by that?
[13:22] <kompi10> lubous
[13:22] <jay__> MaximLevitsky: how do i partition or format the unused 50GB's?
[13:22] <jay__> MaximLevitsky: with Gparted
[13:23] <mgreen> gjut: http://paste.ubuntu.com/29290/ this is the original one, but with monitor settings added
[13:23] <muntrue> DistroJockey, crw-rw---- 1 root vboxusers 10, 63 2008-07-22 13:36 /dev/vboxdrv
[13:23] <MaximLevitsky> jay__: how many partitions you already have
[13:23] <mgreen> gjut: please make a backup of your xorg.conf
[13:23] <mgreen> gjut: keep all revisions and mark which of the works
[13:23] <[newb]MIki> is there a way to connect windwos and ubuntu 8.04 so i can browse the harddrives from eachother?
[13:24] <jay__> MaximLevitsky: it says 3 , the last one says file type ext3 and only gives option to unmount
[13:24] <DistroJockey> muntrue, not got it installed atm but that looks a bit wrong
[13:24] <muntrue> [newb]MIki, Samba
[13:24] <[newb]MIki> sudo apt-get install samba ?
[13:24] <MaximLevitsky> jay__: just right click on  empty space, and select 'new'
[13:24] <muntrue> DistroJockey, Hmm, but should that stop it from running ? and saying its not installed ?
[13:24] <muntrue> !samba
[13:24] <muntrue> !samba [newb]MIki
[13:24] <DistroJockey> muntrue, yeah. very likely
[13:25] <muntrue> DistroJockey, odd. The thing is i had it running before. then I uninstalled it because the headers were not compiled
[13:25] <PrimoTurbo> [newb]MIki: If you want to browse your linux partitions from Windows check this out - http://www.fs-driver.org
[13:25] <muntrue> DistroJockey, now thats all fine and the app wont run
[13:25] <central> AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'new_gc'
[13:25] <PrimoTurbo> you can just automount your ntfs drive from ubuntu
[13:25] <gjut> mgreen: ok, new try. Whatever happens. Thanks for all help!
[13:26] <mgreen> gjut: don't forget the backup :)
[13:26] <[newb]MIki> thx guys :)
[13:26] <hl3> hello
[13:26] <hl3> ubuntu insists on beeping at me like crazy. How can I easly tell all stupid kde, gnome, konsole, vim, and other annoyances to finally shush the frick up?
[13:26] <DistroJockey> muntrue, I'm not familiar with it really, but I'm thinking you need to  chmod that dir to be vboxusers:vboxusers  (I may be wrong though)
[13:27] <DistroJockey> muntrue, I'd check some documentation
[13:27] <mgreen> hl3: there is an option under System > Preferences > Sound
[13:27] <central> ?
[13:27] <muntrue> DistroJockey, I did. nothing shows up for this error. All the solutions on the forums seem to be to install the .deb. But that doesnt work either lol
[13:28] <mgreen> hl3: under the tab System Beep
[13:28] <maxdemon> hallo i have a problem with My ubuntu when i Create a user  With adduser  this  User can see the /home/ files and all the systems files and its dangerous for me how i can repare that please?!!
[13:28] <hl3> mgreen: cool... almost. now virtual terminal
[13:28] <rick10101>  I have an external hard drive attached and when I try to open it I get the error cannot mount volume
[13:28] <rick10101>  Is there anyway I can open it?
[13:28] <rick10101>  It is ntfs
[13:28] <hl3> I need to edit .vimrc and .inputrc right?
[13:28] <fsloke> how to install modem in Ubuntu?
[13:28] <ru_day> ae
[13:29] <hl3> here is an idea, how about implementing  /etc/shush,  when it is 1 then all aplications will shush
[13:29] <fsloke> is this help http://www.close.u-net.com/
[13:29] <central> ok that is the error message when i start deluge  File "/var/lib/python-support/python2.5/deluge/tab_details.py", line 82, in paint_customprogress
[13:29] <DistroJockey> muntrue, well, installing via the package managers is the best way. When you do it any other way it can break stuff. (As you can see)
[13:29] <central>     gc = progress_window.new_gc()
[13:29] <central> AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'new_gc'
[13:29] <muntrue> hl3, you could smash your system speaker ;)
[13:29] <mgreen> hl3: actually, that's exactly what that check box does...
[13:29] <fsloke> for the installation modem
[13:30] <rick10101>  I have an external hard drive attached and when I try to open it I get the error cannot mount volume
[13:30] <rick10101>  Is there anyway I can open it?
[13:30] <rick10101>  It is ntfs
[13:30] <DistroJockey> !repeat | rick10101
[13:30] <muntrue> DistroJockey, Yea.. odd stuff. I think somehow the .deb and the ose version are conflicting. but there is now no trace to be found of any..
[13:31] <sinster> noob here. im upgrading from gutsy to hardy and its hung at "Generating locals. . .\n  en-AU.UTF-8. . ." What should I do? I am scared if I abort I will mess up my system . . ?
[13:31] <DistroJockey> muntrue, yeah, I'm thinking you will need to remove all traces of the installs you did (hard if you didn't use a package manager)
[13:31] <wers> can I install ubuntu via wubi on windows then remove windows? :D
[13:31] <mgreen> wers: well... no
[13:32] <gjut> mgreen: no luck.
[13:32] <mgreen> wers: you _can_ remove alot of windows though, but i would recommend a fresh install instead
[13:32] <Dynos> hi, i cant play a dvd, libdvdcss is already installed
[13:32] <DistroJockey> rick10101, sounds like the NTFS drive was not cleanly unmounted from Windows
[13:32] <mgreen> gjut: oh, i thought we had nailed it there
[13:32] <prymal> i'm drawing a complete mental blank... hwo do I force gnome to use a password to log into a network service.
[13:33] <maxdemon> please i have a small problem with my ubuntu When i create a user with ADDUSER this personne Can See all My files /home/ and all the system information  so its dangerous how i can repare this please ?? thanx so much for help^:)
[13:33] <prymal> ther'es "public" logings and password protected
[13:33] <rick10101> how can i fix this then please distro jockey?
[13:33] <wers> mgreen, I have an eee with windows. i dont want to go through the hassle of installing ubuntu with a thumb drive. I dont have a thumb drive for the job
[13:33] <rick10101> its important I access it I have everything on it
[13:33] <rick10101> Please
[13:33] <mgreen> wers: well, you could rip out the harddrive :)
[13:33] <Sorres> hello! is there any code that i can write in the terminal to check that "java" is correctly installed?
[13:33] <maxdemon> prymal how?
[13:33] <DistroJockey> rick10101, have the drive turned on and boot into Windows then shutdown
[13:34] <gjut> I'm running the nvidia-glx-drivers. But NVIDIA X Settings complains: "You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server. "
[13:34] <rick10101> I dont have windows installed
[13:34] <bug> hello everybody
[13:34] <DistroJockey> rick10101, I think that should do it
[13:34] <central> please can you tell me how to fix deluge torrent ?
[13:34] <mgreen> gjut: have you tried the nvidia way?
[13:34] <gjut> Sorry, nvidia-glx-legacy
[13:35] <gjut> mgreen: yesterday...
[13:35] <DistroJockey> rick10101, then you will need to force the mount (check  man mount)
[13:35] <mgreen> oh, maybe you don't have the driver running...
[13:35] <prymal> maxdemon: I'm trying to access a NAS box, that has public login (no pwd rqd) and passworded logins
[13:35] <rick10101> OK I will check it out cheers
[13:35] <mgreen> gjut: lsmod | grep nvidia
[13:35] <prymal> but gnome is using the public one without asking for a login and pasword
[13:35] <gjut> mgreen: nvidia               3934028  0
[13:35] <gjut> agpgart                34760  2 nvidia,via_agp
[13:36] <central> gedit
[13:36] <Sudowman> maxdemon: you can change the permissions on your home directory with chmod -R 760 /home/maxdaemon
[13:36] <mgreen> gjut: i think this is a driver problem. how did you go about activating/installing your nvidia driver?
[13:37] <maxdemon> pyrrmal i can't help you sorry :(
[13:37] <gjut> mgreen: I used synaptic
[13:37] <lesergi> hi all
[13:37] <homy> Hello, I have a question about Evolution: I use a imap server, and everything works perfectly. Can I have Evolution automatically run a command before receiving mail?
[13:37] <DistroJockey> rick10101, do you have an error message? (I am making assumptions atm)
[13:37] <mahidhar> how 2 mount the usb port
[13:37] <central> please ?
[13:37] <lesergi> I have to install Ubuntu in computer without Internet, how I can add some packages into DVD?
[13:38] <lesergi> for example, amsn, amule...
[13:38] <mgreen> gjut: System > Administration > Hardware Drivers - what does it say?
[13:38] <Sudowman> maxdemon: most of the rest of the system needs to be world-readable
[13:38] <kelvin911> anyone know how to view stk file?
[13:38] <Pici> kelvin911: Whats a stik file?
[13:38] <rick10101> Distrojockey, When I click details there is is a choice 2 to force the mount so im gonna give it a try
[13:38] <Pici> stk rather.
[13:38] <m1r> lesergi: aptoncd
[13:39] <homy> The usage is that I want to run "fetchmail" on the imap server before getting mail from that imap server.
[13:39] <gjut> I'm using a Swedish Ubuntu, but don't seem to get it
[13:39] <mgreen> gjut: you can try to disable the nvidia driver temporarily and try with the 'nv' one. please do that and check if you got more resolutions to pick from
[13:39] <kelvin911> it could be a collection of jpg
[13:39] <homy> Is that possible with evolution
[13:39] <DistroJockey> rick10101, should be ok, but having a backup is recommended
[13:39] <homy> ?
[13:39] <rick10101> DistroJockey, Where is the command line so I can force mount the hd
[13:40] <mgreen> gjut: you didn't find the hardware driver manager?
[13:40] <DistroJockey> rick10101, you said you had a choice?
[13:40] <Pici> kelvin911: Without knowing more about the file format, I'm just going to wildly guess that comix might be able to view it.
[13:40] <gjut> mgreen: There is one called "Hardware drivers". I trying it
[13:41] <rick10101> DistroJockey, Yes I have to type something in the command line to force mount it, It tells me what to write in choice 2.
[13:41] <rick10101> So how do I find the commandline
[13:41] <jay__> what is that program called that makes ubuntu look cooler like all the alt-control-arrow keys form all the windows into a cube
[13:41] <Pici> !compiz | jay__
[13:41] <gjut> mgreen: which tells me I am using the legacy driver
[13:41] <Pici> !cube > jay__ (Please see the private messsage from ubottu)
[13:41] <mgreen> gjut: as i said, try to switch back to 'nv' driver and see what happens. you haven't tried that combination with the new refresh settings for your monitor. this is why i'm recommending saving every revision you make of xorg.conf... detective work
[13:41] <jay__> thanks
[13:41] <lesergi> m1r: with aptoncd I can build a CD repo right?
[13:41] <DistroJockey> rick10101, then do what it suggests I guess (I havn't seen this first hand as I cleanly unmount my NTFS drives)
[13:41] <kelvin911> Pici: i believe this is the software http://www.download.com/eREAD/3000-2125_4-10803641.html
[13:42] <muntrue> DistroJockey, To come back on the VirtualBox issue. I used apt-get and a deb file. Any idea where those traces meight have gone ?
[13:42] <kelvin911> is there a linux version of it?
[13:42] <gjut> mgreen: are all other settings ok with "nv" only?
[13:42] <lesergi> m1r: I'm trying also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization
[13:42] <DistroJockey> muntrue, any .folders in your ~/  ?
[13:42] <Pici> kelvin911: I've never heard of it before.  You may be able to run it in Wine, or you could try looking for other linux ebook readers, I know those exist.
[13:43] <central> hello i have a problem with deluge torrent when i start it he did for 1 seconde then stop by it self how to fix it please
[13:43] <DistroJockey> muntrue, hidden vbox related stuff in home that is :)
[13:43] <homy> any ideas where I can ask about my problem with evolution email?
[13:43] <rick10101> I get the message only root can do that when I tried to force the mount
[13:43] <muntrue> DistroJockey, yea theres a .Virtualbox folder in home lol
[13:43] <gjut> ok, restarting xorg
[13:43] <DistroJockey> rick10101, yep, you will need to prefix that command with   sudo
[13:43] <mgreen> gjut: yes, only disable 'nvidia' and reenable 'nv'
[13:43] <muntrue> DistroJockey, I guess ill remove that.. Also on a side track.. Is apt-get not the same as packet manager ?
[13:43] <Sudowman> homy: #evolution ?
[13:44] <kelvin911> which ebook reader are available for linux?
[13:44] <lesergi> I am customizating a Ubuntu DVD, but when I'll install Ubuntu trough wubi, will it install cutomized dvd o default?????
[13:44] <homy> Sudowman: Thanks, i'll try
[13:44] <rick10101> DistroJockey, Is there any software to do this, Maybe to change the partition type of the hard drive, Would this fix it?
[13:44] <DistroJockey> muntrue, :) apt-get is a package manager
[13:44] <muntrue> DistroJockey, Yea thats what i thought
[13:45] <DistroJockey> rick10101, any change will likely wipe all data off the drive
[13:45] <lesergi> I am customizating a Ubuntu DVD, but when I'll install Ubuntu trough wubi, will it install cutomized dvd o default?????
[13:45] <REplceMnt> can anyone help me install spss on wine? please message me... thanks
[13:45] <m1r> lesergi: aptoncd
[13:45] <muntrue> DistroJockey, Removed the .virtualbox folder. Any other places stuff meight have gone ?
[13:45] <m1r> lesergi: if u just want add more pacakges to offline system
[13:45] <DistroJockey> muntrue, /usr/bin
[13:45] <muntrue> DistroJockey, Locate virtualbox gives me nothing
[13:46] <DistroJockey> muntrue, many places depending on the installer :)
[13:46] <central> ?
[13:46] <REplceMnt>  i need help in installing spss on ubuntu.. please message me
[13:46] <mgreen> !pastebin | central
[13:46] <rick10101> When it tells me to put the password in I cant type it Distrojockey
[13:47] <muntrue> DistroJockey, Let me check the installer included files
[13:47] <mgreen> central: post the error there
[13:47] <DistroJockey> rick10101, for  sudo  use your password that you log in with
[13:47] <central> ok
[13:47] <rick10101> I did put it wont let me type it, Like when i try to type the pass nothing types, then i press enter and it says its incorrect
[13:48] <jay__> I allready have compiz installed it only gives me 2 squares to switch between how do i add more squares to switch between or make a cube?
[13:48] <gjut> mgreen: Using this xorg http://paste.ubuntu.com/29292/ I still start in 800x600 with 640x480 as a the sole option under applications > settings > settings manager
[13:48] <DistroJockey> rick10101, nothing will show when you type, just make sure you type it right
[13:48] <rick10101> oh ok
[13:48] <muntrue> DistroJockey, Installer shows alot files in usr/share/virtualbox and usr/lib/virtualbox but those are all gone. Can i assume uninstalling the package removed them ?
[13:49] <DistroJockey> muntrue, yeah, I would
[13:49] <mgreen> gjut: ok, you need to check the error log for xorg
[13:49] <muntrue> DistroJockey, Just to be 100% sure apt-get is the same as synaptic right ?
[13:50] <DistroJockey> muntrue, yep
[13:50] <central> ok down
[13:50] <DistroJockey> !info synaptic
[13:50] <gjut> mgreen: http://paste.ubuntu.com/29296/
[13:50] <DistroJockey> not as informative as I had hoped :(
[13:50] <rick10101> Distrojockey, I have done that now lots of options have come up
[13:51] <MaximLevitsky> jay__: you need ccsm for that.
[13:51] <muntrue> DistroJockey, lol
[13:51] <muntrue> !info apt-get
[13:51] <DistroJockey> rick10101, give me one of them please?
[13:51] <mgreen> gjut: "(EE) Failed to initialize GLX extension (NVIDIA X driver not found)" disable that, for the moment

[13:51] <jay__> !info apt-get
[13:51] <muntrue> !apt-get
[13:52] <rick10101> So far the informational part. Next the mounting.
[13:52] <rick10101> The command is `mount [-t fstype] something somewhere'.
[13:52] <rick10101> Details found in /etc/fstab may be omitted.
[13:52] <rick10101>        mount -a [-t|-O] ...     : mount all stuff from /etc/fstab

[13:52] <FloodBot1> rick10101: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[13:52] <gjut> mgreen:
[13:52] <gjut> ok!
[13:52] <pabix> Good evening, everyone! I would like to know whether you could advise me: in my school, that has installed a Redhat Fedora distro, the command write user <<< message issues a graphical pop-up, and does not appear in a terminal
[13:53] <pabix> could that work with Ubuntu with some package?
[13:53] <bazhang> pabix, best to ask in #fedora
[13:53] <rick10101> DistroJockey, This is very conufusing do you know which command I will have to type in to force mount the hard drive?
[13:53] <DistroJockey> rick10101, mkdir aplace to mount it and mount it with the force command (I guess) Check some guides maybe
[13:53] <pavel_> Hi, my panel in gnome has disappeared, how to fix that?
[13:53] <rick10101> distrojockey ok thanks
[13:53] <pabix> bazhang, maybe. Or #linux also!
[13:53] <bazhang> !resetpanels | pavel_
[13:54] <DistroJockey> rick10101, as I said, I don't usually need to and I am reluctant to suggest forced mounting (even though it may be needed)
[13:54] <central> can you see whats wrong with deluge ?
[13:54] <bazhang> central, please clarify
[13:55] <DistroJockey> rick10101, you're welcome and good luck
[13:55] <mgreen> central: you never posted the link to pastebin
[13:55] <central> i just send the text with pastbin
[13:55] <rick10101> I can use a windows usb edition to quickily use windows, Can I then make a change to the hard drive so that it works in ubuntu?
[13:55] <DistroJockey> rick10101, just don't rush into it if you can afford not too :)
[13:55] <Abed> hello is there an app for ubuntu like XP's task manager?
[13:55] <mgreen> central: you get a link when you do that. you have to post it here so that we can get a hold of it.
[13:56] <will01> im trying to set up a web server using the gadmin httpd gui, and when i try to activate it i get su: httpd: not found
[13:56] <pabix> Abed, in command-line: top
[13:56] <rick10101> DistroJockey I really need to fix it asap to be honest lol, Say if I am in windows what do I need to do to the hard drive so it works in this?
[13:56] <rick10101> Thx
[13:56] <muntrue> Abed, System->Administration=>System Monitor
[13:56] <Abed> i know that but some times ma pc got stuck and i want to end a process so how do i do that?
[13:56] <DistroJockey> rick10101, you need to use the remove hardware thingy
[13:57] <muntrue> Abed, Hit alt+F2
[13:57] <Abed> solved
[13:57] <Abed> lol
[13:57] <central> you mean that url http://paste.ubuntu.com/29295/
[13:57] <Abed> thnx
[13:57] <muntrue> Abed, then type xkill and click the app you want to close
[13:57] <rick10101> DistroJockey, Ok so I use that to remove the hard drive then it should work in ubuntu?
[13:57] <mgreen> central: how did you install deluge?
[13:57] <DistroJockey> rick10101, yep
[13:58] <rick10101> DistroJockey, Ok cheers do ill try it later thx for the help, cya
[13:58] <central> with add/remouve
[13:58] <DistroJockey> rick10101, np, later
[13:58] <mgreen> gjut: System > Preferences > Screen Resolution - that's the one you're looking at, right?
[13:58] <inflex> hiya - anyone got a PC133 SDRAM 512MB module in their computer _and_ running i2c / lm-sensors?,  because I need a copy of the file located in /sys/bus/i2c/devices/00-51/eeprom (or similar)
[13:59] <mgreen> central: has it ever started?
[13:59] <central> well deluge start to but from the last ubuntu update
[13:59] <central> yes
[13:59] <Odd-rationale> clarezoe:
[13:59] <Odd-rationale> whoops...
[13:59] <Abed> i have a problem with my bluetooth adapter
[13:59] <central> it start do bug from the last ubuntu update was yesterday
[14:00] <gjut> mgreen: still same phenomenon - starting in 800x600 but only 640x480 as an option. There is no Swedish equivalent of that path. On my one day old machine it is Application > Settings > Settings Manager > Monitor
[14:00] <Mutnrue> ah
[14:01] <Guest34247> new here
[14:01] <mgreen> gjut: but you are sure you're at the right setting? i'm swedish too, but i've got english ubuntu...
[14:01] <Muntrue> Hello Guest34247
[14:01] <Abed> yeah Guest34247
[14:01] <bazhang> central, what about transmission; does that work
[14:01] <Muntrue> Guest34247, if you want to change your name type /Nick name_here
[14:01] <Guest34247> ok
[14:01] <central> yes transmition work
[14:02] <bazhang> central, you compiled the latest deluge?
[14:02] <name_here> Bob
[14:02] <gjut> mgreen: ledsen... I use xubuntu (but there was no xubuntu channel)
[14:02] <central> i install it with add/remove
[14:02] <Muntrue> name_here,  You have to replace name_here for you name. so that would be /nick Bob
[14:02] <Abed> hello
[14:03] <central> i guess it guve the lastest
[14:03] <mgreen> gjut: oh, ok... well, try to hit ctrl+plus
[14:03] <mgreen> gjut: no, wait... ctrl-alt-plus, perhaps? there is a way to cycle though resolutions
[14:04] <gjut> mgreen: no luck

[14:12] <central> i think its the last one
[14:12] <Jack_Sparrow> justinallen mounts in media will show on desktop
[14:13] <justinallen> Jack_Sparrow:  so if i just edit my fstab to change to media, that should do the trick?
[14:13] <mgreen> central: let's try to disable your settings temporarily and try to start deluge again
[14:14] <Abed> can anyone recommend a FTP client for ubuntu
[14:14] <Abed> ?
[14:14] <Jack_Sparrow> justinallen as long as you are using a valid mount point..   yes it should
[14:14] <central> how to disable my setting ?
[14:14] <Pici> !ftp | Abed there are many
[14:14] <Sudowman> Abed: ftp ? sftp ?

[14:17] <central> thanks now how can i get back the torrent i download ?
[14:17] <Muntrue> Abed, Im not an expert but what apps/dongle are you using ?
[14:17] <Jack_Sparrow> justinallen Just for reference  here is how you mount manually    From the terminal/CLI type... sudo mkdir /media/disk-1  then   sudo mount /dev/sda(x)  /media/disk-1 (x) being your partition
[14:17] <Abed> Muntru, I can't enable my bluetooth radio
[14:17] <mgreen> central: well, you moved your settings. and they were the problem. i recommend you find your torrent again and start from scratch. good luck!
[14:17] <Jack_Sparrow> Abed Please hold down on the repeats
[14:17] <a_ok> justinallen do what jack always does... let Will Turner handle it

[14:19] <Sonja> is there a script or command i can use to automagically crop many .gif files such that it only keeps where there are pixels and crops the top, sides and bottom as much as possible if they are only transparent pixels with no colour?

I modified the permissions so I can access that directory from another box, but the browser still seems to want to access "localhost" (i.e. the box the browser is running on) for some things, and the pages look really ugly, as if CSS was missing. The installation cant finish because of that. Any i

[14:24] <Muntrue> Abed, How about the second ?
[14:24] <Andropov> hi people.. I'm using Ubuntu 8.04 64 bits, and I cant connect in a remote windows sharing. It says unable to show the local, and that there is no application registered to handle this file.. in Ubuntu 7.10 it worked good..
[14:24] <justinallen> Jack_Sparrow: correct, but you wanted me to make sure everything was mounting and that there wasn't any paritions not being mounted right? or did i misunderstand what you wanted me to check...lol
[14:24] <Abed> Muntrue, Wait i will check it out
[14:24] <Odd-rationale> rockenrola: sound juicer works...

[14:25] <DIFH-iceroot> renote desktop for irc? never heard irssi?
[14:25] <Jack_Sparrow> justinallen I was going to have you manually mount any one of your unmounted partitions using /mdeia/ as a mount point so you could see they popped up on your desktop
[14:25] <justinallen> Jack_Sparrow: ohhh ok..gotcha
[14:25] <Muntrue> DIFH-iceroot, Im not only using it for IRC ;) im configuring my laptop at home while im at work.. while being on IRC at the same time

[14:26] <esteth> Whenever I switch to a virtual desktop with a particular firefox window in it, my screen blacks out a few seconds later. The input select and power buttons do not work, and I have to power cycle the monitor. I suspect this to be a refresh rate issue with a malevolent flash animation or java applet. How would I lock my refresh rate?
[14:26] <justinallen> Jack_Sparrow:  Is there any way I can change my /home mount while i'm logged in or do I need to change the fstab and restart?
[14:26] <Abed> Muntrue, I am checking the second and it may take a time soo brb
[14:26] <Bogh> slobad23__: have you tried setting it up manual
[14:26] <Muntrue> Abed, Sure no problem..
[14:27] <slobad23__> i wouldnt know where to start
[14:27] <Odd-rationale> rockenrola: you can search the add/remove... i usually rip with sound juicer and edit the tag information with easytag, which tends to have a better search than sound juicer...
[14:27] <Bogh> slobad23__: if you know the ESSID it shouldn't be a problem

[14:32] <slobad23__> a friend of mine was talked through wireless in xubuntu before - so i need ndiswrapper to get wireless working?
[14:32] <sparr> i spent weeks getting convinced to upgrade from firefox 3.0b5 to 3.0...  finally do, and of course things break.
[14:33] <m1r> slobad23__: what type of card you have ?
[14:33] <bastid_raZor> justinallen; i use cairo-dock and there is an applet (shortcuts) that does just what you're wanting.
[14:33] <rockenrola> Odd-rationale: yes. that was my initial question. a tool to rip cd-text from audio cd's
[14:33] <Odd-rationale> rockenrola: what is "cd-text"
[14:33] <justinallen> bastid_raZor: hmm..i'll look into that...thanks!

[14:34] <bastid_raZor> justinallen; i can give you a link if you like.. you have to add some repo's .. that is simple to do and the howto tells you how.

[14:38] <kingbilly> zombiebox: there is also a website where you can upload a flv and they will convert it, but you'd have to search because i forgot where, but it works i did it

[14:42] <histo> Odd-rationale: how ?
[14:43] <Odd-rationale> histo: afaik, screen will simply blink the display (which i prefer...)
[14:43] <histo> Odd-rationale: I see the vbell

[14:54] <histo> ljsoftnet: yeah but its not too bad.  I've run it that way for a while.
[14:54] <runge> bazhang, do not know name. 8.4 (hardy right?)
[14:54] <gordonjcp> histo: yeah, that would be good
[14:55] <Operator> hi, i want a user to only be allowed in his /home/user directory when he logs in via ssh, how would i do this???
[14:55] <gordonjcp> I've run steam under wine, and it works well enough to buy stuff off steam
[14:55] <gjut> is it possible to downgrade from Hardy  to Gutsy?
[14:55] <bazhang> 8.04 is hardy yes runge; what kind of probs do you have with compiz and video? what effects are you using and what errors are happening
[14:55] <gordonjcp> Operator: you can't
[14:55] <geppy> gjut: Probably not worth the trouble.  It'd probably be easier to back up your home directory and reinstall.
[14:55] <neko_> hi people with some bash skillz
[14:55] <gordonjcp> Operator: do you mean blocking them from things like /usr, /bin etc?
[14:55] <gjut> geppy: ok
[14:55] <DRebellion> Operator, change his shell in /etc/passwd to something like:  chroot /home/user bash
[14:55] <ljsoftnet> histo: where did you get the news about "valve working on a native client for linux"?
[14:56] <Operator> ok
[14:56] <histo> ljsoftnet: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=source_linux&num=1
[14:56] <runge> bazhang, when watching video in a whindow it flickers. when in full screen mode it does not. when I do not use compiz there is no problem with video at al. I tried vlc and the built in video player.
[14:56] <gjut> geppy: I can't get my TNT2 to accept resolutions higher than 800x600...
[14:56] <geppy> Anyone know where I can go for help with ext2/3 and/or e2fsck?
[14:56] <rockenrola> is there a k3b channel?
[14:56] <snmpee_> gjut did you just upgrade your kernel and then it stopped working?
[14:57] <geppy> gjut: Sorry. :(  Are you familiar with '/etc/X11/xorg.conf' ?
[14:57] <bazhang> runge any reason not to shut it off when watching video-->with fusion-icon (one click)?
[14:57] <snmpee_> geppy i think i got you covered. typing, 1 sec
[14:57] <gjut> geppy: too familiar.
[14:57] <geppy> gjut: hahaha, now I'm really sorry.  You tried entering a higher resolution there, but to no avail?
[14:57] <runge> bazhang, this is not a big problem. I thought if its know and there is a fix it would be nice to do it.
[14:58] <geppy> snmpee_: Thanks!
[14:58] <gjut> Yep! Does anyone know what "envy" is?
[14:58] <bazhang> runge the guys in #compiz-fusion may know a workaround if you are concerned
[14:58] <runge> thanks bazhang! I will check there
[14:58] <geppy> gjut: Uhm, when the guy next to you has a working configuration?
[14:58] <valchers> how can I uninstal some programm who I am copelli, apt-get autoremove not works :(
[14:58] <geppy> gjut: Or are you referring to an open-source project?
[14:58] <bazhang> !info envyng-gtk | gjut
[14:59] <dasorm> Hi i just installed ant-doc via aptitude, now i can't find the new files. How to find out what exactly aptitude just added?
[14:59] <histo> geppy: what kind of help?
[14:59] <geppy> valchers:  You can do this: `sudo apt-get remove PROGRAMNAME`
[14:59] <snmpee_> geppy download the latest driver that is compatible with your card from nvidia's website, sudo killall gdm or kdm depending on you using gnome or kde (bye bye, irc and your desktop for now), login and sudo -i then go to the directory you saved the driver and sh thedriver. yes, when it asks you, you want to compile your own driver
[14:59] <bazhang> valchers, that you compiled from source?
[14:59] <snmpee_> geppy then simply reboot
[14:59] <histo> !envy > gjut
[14:59] <geppy> snmpee_: Crap, I think you're talking to someone else.  I'm here for ext3 issues
[14:59] <snmpee_> geppy you'll need to do that every time you upgrade the kernel, nvidia is annoying with some cards like that.
[15:00] <geppy> snmpee_: Are you referring to the TNT2 issue? THat's gjut
[15:00] <snmpee_> geirha i do that right after upgrading my kernel before rebooting.
[15:00] <snmpee_> oops
[15:00] <bazhang> snmpee_, tab completion typo
[15:00] <snmpee_> yes, all that was directed at gjut
[15:00] <Dar1us> hi, I have a ubuntu system in which I accidentally zero'd the first 7 sectors. Can someone tell me what partition ID ubuntu uses by default?
[15:00] <snmpee_> and envy is broken as of Hardy
[15:00] <gjut> histo nyyt: thanks
[15:00] <snmpee_> gjut did you get all that?
[15:00] <bazhang> snmpee_, there is envyng which is supported by ubuntu
[15:01] <gjut> snmpee_: yes!
[15:01] <histo> bazhang: envy should not be used period
[15:01] <calc> Dar1us: 82 i think
[15:01] <snmpee_> bazhang thanks for your help, however uninformed. envy doesn't work on Hardy.
[15:01] <bazhang> histo, not so
[15:01] <Dar1us> calc: ta
[15:01] <N3X0NIC> hi, does anyone know how to turn a link with a target to an absolute path in a link with a target to a relative path?
[15:01] <gjut> do I have to uninstall all the others?
[15:01] <histo> !envy
[15:01] <calc> Dar1us: its the standard one anyway, iirc 82 is linux 83 is linux swap
[15:01] <Dar1us> N3X0NIC: delete the link and recreate it
[15:01] <bazhang> snmpee_, check envyng-gtk it is not misinformation sorry
[15:01] <Dar1us> calc: OK
[15:01] <histo> evnyng should be used. envy is not supported here
[15:02] <snmpee_> histo, bazhang, you may argue all you like, it won't make you correct.
[15:02] <Lars_G> Hello
[15:02]  * histo All night long
[15:02] <bazhang> histo which is what I said
[15:02] <geppy> histo: The first several gigabytes of my partition got overwritten by an errant program.  I've found alternative superblocks via `testdisk`'s "find alternative superblocks" function, but e2fsck complains that the magic number is wrong, when I . . .   crap
[15:02] <bazhang> snmpee_, please stop
[15:02] <calc> Dar1us: had it backwards sorry, 83 is linux and 82 is linux swap
[15:02] <geppy> Oh, "all night long", not "night, all"
[15:02] <histo> geppy: hrmm....
[15:02] <calc> Dar1us: i just checked with fdisk
[15:02] <snmpee_> bazhang i only ask that you do some more research before breaking people'
[15:02] <Dar1us> calc: OK
[15:02] <snmpee_> bazhang i only ask that you do some more research before breaking people's installations.
[15:02] <Dar1us> calc: well I don't have any other linux sstems handy :)
[15:02] <histo> geppy: not sure were you can go for more specific help on that.
[15:02] <gjut> histo: How much do I need to uninstall in order to use envyng? Or does synaptic take care of that?
[15:03] <snmpee_> no version of envy works on hardy, go ask #nvidia about it, have a nice day.
[15:03] <Lars_G> two questions. A) is there no more a metapackage for developer tools? (basic set, gcc, make, autotools)? I can't find it. and B) Is there a meta or a select number of packages I can use to install X11 related libraries on a server without enabling a X11 graphical start? or should I just pull in Xorg and eliminate the xdm init script?
[15:03] <bazhang> snmpee_, it is in linux-restricted-modules for next release and envyng is fully supported by ubuntu.
[15:03] <geppy> Lars_G: 'build-essential'
[15:03] <calc> Dar1us: good luck determing what the partitioning was setup as though
[15:03] <histo> gjut: what exactly have you tried doing?
[15:03] <N3X0NIC> Dar1us, it's for an icon theme... and there are hundreds of links
[15:03] <DRebellion> !info build-essential | Lars_G
[15:03] <Lars_G> geppy: I'll grep it. thanks
[15:03] <histo> gjut: have you tried the restricted driver?
[15:03] <snmpee_> gjut: tell you what, when envyng doesn't work go ahead and try my suggestion.
[15:03] <dasorm> Where does aptitude install ant-doc?
[15:03] <calc> Dar1us: if your system is still booted in linux you can probably figure it out, otherwise it might be somewhat hard
[15:03] <DRebellion> dasorm, do, dpkg -L ant-doc
[15:04] <Lars_G> Ah it's in devel/main I was looking in metapackages
[15:04] <Dar1us> calc: alas no
[15:04] <gjut> snmpee_: So, I should stay away from envyng too?
[15:04] <Dar1us> calc: I need to rewrite the MBR & boot loader
[15:04] <Dar1us> luckily all the data is OK
[15:04] <dasorm> DRebellion: <3
[15:04] <histo> gjut: if this is just a normal nvidia card just use the restricted driver.
[15:04] <snmpee_> gjut: it's not going to hurt anything, but it's definitely not going to work as of hardy, no matter what they say.
[15:04] <Lars_G> Dar1us: And doing so is pretty painless nowadays
[15:04] <bazhang> snmpee_, envyng-gtk works fine and is supported by ubuntu; please stop
[15:04] <gjut> histo. Yes, the nvidia-glx-legacy
[15:04] <calc> Dar1us: so you'll have to guess at how many partitions and the exact geometry then
[15:04] <histo> gjut: So what is the problem then?
[15:05] <bieb> I am running Ubuntu8.04, I used to use Virtual Box to have a windows desktop (that I need for work) I am thinking of changing from VB, is Vmware or Xen the recommended virtual pc system?
[15:05] <geppy> histo: with regards to gjut, nvidia-glx-legacy doesn't support the TNT2, does it?  I thought you had to use . . .  /me doesn't even remember.  I don't have access to my TNT anymore
[15:05] <snmpee_> bazhang go to #nvidia and find out why you are uninformed, but well-intentioned. Please do so before you continue to spread false information.
[15:05] <Dar1us> calc: I downloaded Stellar Phoenix demo and it found the data partition
[15:05] <gjut> I cannot get resolutions higher than 800x600 and I'm not even sure if it is loaded... It is my 2nd day in xubuntu
[15:05] <geppy> bieb: Use VMware.  VMware server is free and has many features.
[15:05] <Lars_G> geppy: I am using vmware server
[15:05] <Dar1us> calc: I don't recall the swap size but I did a bog standard mythbuntu install
[15:05] <Lars_G> :)
[15:05] <bieb> geppy: thanks
[15:06] <calc> Dar1us: oh ok, well glad it found the partition for you :)
[15:06] <histo> gjut: You need to check the hardware list and see which nvidia driver you are supposed to be using. Because I doubt its nvidia-glx-legacy
[15:06] <gjut> geppy: I think you must use the 71xx version
[15:06] <Dar1us> calc: yeah :)
[15:06] <histo> gjut: and envy will not work for your situation.
[15:06] <gjut> histo: ok
[15:06] <snmpee_> lol not on hardy it won't
[15:06] <geppy> gjut: I don't think that will work; I think that nvidia-glx only works for GeForce cards.
[15:06] <histo> geppy: no
[15:06] <geppy> histo: Righto, my bad.
[15:07] <histo> gjut: let me check the list hol don
[15:07] <snmpee_> gjut since you're going to do what they say, when it doesn't work just keep a record of my fix and do that instead.
[15:07] <Mez> !stop | snmpee_
[15:07] <gjut> so, which version available with synaptic should I use?
[15:07] <bazhang> snmpee_, that fix is not going to work
[15:07] <valchers> i have problem with ffmprg, when i comeplling som video to flv video confert but audo no, maybe some know what there is a problem?
[15:07] <Mez> snmpee_, please see /msg
[15:07] <Sinnerman> hi, anyone know of a good program to/way to encrypt, zip and archive some 20GB worth of data into sizes manageable for burning onto DVD-Rs? i would rather not be using asymmetric encryption/gpg because i don't understand it well, and i don't want to risk something going wrong.
[15:07] <Mez> and you bazhang
[15:08] <s_spiff> guys trying to install Canon Scanner driver, by compiling it. on trying to compil i get the following output.. even though I have GIMP installed...! what to do? http://paste.ubuntu.com/29312/
[15:08] <geppy> histo: Ach!  Even just to find documentation on ext2/3 would be better than nothing. :/  I _think_ that the magic number at the beginning of the superblock is supposed to be 0xEF53, but I'm not sure.    I've tried hexdumping the addresses in the image, but I haven't even had luck with that.  I know that `testdisk` found legitimate superblocks since it knows the name and extent of the lost partition, but since the POS doesn't support "just wr
[15:08] <histo> gjut: I did not see what snmpee_ suggestion was I came in the middle of this. You started asking me questions.
[15:08] <valchers> and i cant search ffmpeg config file
[15:09] <gjut> snmpee_: It is a fresh install. Nothing in /home
[15:09] <histo> gjut: but you do need nvidia-glx-legacy and the kernel module installed for that card to work properly.
[15:09] <s_spiff> anyone? Need help with a canon all in on driver insallation. using the driver provided byt he company, but unable to compile. output here : http://paste.ubuntu.com/29312/   I have GIMP, but I'm still getting that error :(
[15:10] <gjut> hist:his suggestions were under the assumption of a kernel upgrade
[15:10] <geppy> histo: I mean, I'm at the point where I'd be willing to write whatever kind of programs I need to make this work.  Filesystem drivers are and filesystem manipulation are things I'm familiar with, but it's hard since A) no open source developer in the history of ever documents anything B) i have trouble understanding why these tools are giving such mutually exclusive answers
[15:10] <histo> gjut: well if you just installed your kernel probably did upgrade
[15:10] <histo> gjut: when you updated
[15:10] <histo> !nvidia > gjut
[15:11] <gjut> Aaaahhh!
[15:11] <geppy> histo: He did more than a kernel upgrade, he went from release 'n - 1' to release 'n'
[15:11] <histo> gjut: there are binary driver howtos on the wiki.ubuntu.com
[15:11] <gjut> histo: you are right!
[15:11] <valchers> maybe some can help me with ffmpeg?
[15:11] <histo> gjut: then snmpee_ suggestions will work you need to recompile the kernel module
[15:11] <geppy> histo: Sorry, I misread that, I thought you said he ONLY upgraded your kernel.  Disregard what I said.
[15:11] <histo> gjut: or install it from the repos
[15:11] <Muntrue> !ffmpeg
[15:11] <Muntrue> shame
[15:11] <histo> Muntrue: whatare you trying to do?
[15:11] <ASULutzy> !info ffmpeg
[15:11] <s_spiff> anyone?? http://paste.ubuntu.com/29312/ need help installing the scanner driver.
[15:12] <geppy> valchers: Can you send me a private message?  I'll try to help you
[15:12] <Muntrue> histo, Just checking out different stuff ubottu can do lol ^^
[15:12] <cr0w_> hi
[15:12] <cr0w_> i have a problem
[15:12] <Caesi> hullo.. I sent in my laptop and the motherboard was exchanged.. now I the sound doesn't work anymore under Linux (I know it works cos at the first splashscreen there is sound) - any idea on how I can fix this? :)
[15:12] <geppy> s_spiff: Can you send me a private message?  I'll try to help you
[15:12] <geppy> cr0w: Just say what it is, don't preface it
[15:12] <histo> Muntrue: ahh you can do it in private via /msg ubotu whatever
[15:12] <ljsoftnet> histo: just found this from FAQ of Steam "The Steam Client is strictly a Windows application and there are no plans to create a native Linux Steam Client at this time."
[15:12] <geppy> Caesi: Can you make sure that nothing is muted?
[15:12] <cr0w_> eHm ..i have a notebook..today i have installed Ubuntu ^^
[15:12] <Caesi> I did
[15:12] <Muntrue> histo, i should try that. saves the clutter
[15:13] <s_spiff> geppy: did you get my pm?
[15:13] <Caesi> I'll check again
[15:13] <histo> ljsoftnet: yeah thats why I responded that way at first but aparently they hired a linux developer to port stuff.
[15:13] <geppy> ljsoftnet:  Sorry that I didn't say this earlier, but the stuff about valve is well-intentioned misunderstanding.  They . . .
[15:13] <ASULutzy> ljsoftnet: I heard they were going to release a linux Steam. Not that it really matters because it works just fine in Wine
[15:13] <geppy> ljsoftnet:  Yeah, they put a "linux developer" posting on their careers page, and everyone assumed that Steam was being ported.
[15:13] <gjut> geppy: Sorry, you are probably all correct. Yesterday night after installing the system I made an update, yes. And, there was a kernel upgrade from 2.6.24-2 to 2.6.24-3 or something! Forgot about it.
[15:13] <valchers> my problem is that - i convert wmv, mpeg, avi files to flv, but thei not convert audo, video converts grate but audio is silence
[15:13] <ljsoftnet> ah ok
[15:14] <histo> ljsoftnet: I doubt it will happen as well just knowing the history of steam.
[15:14] <geppy> gjut: I think your thanks belong to histo. :P
[15:14] <ASULutzy> valchers: Converting, you're doing it wrong ;)
[15:14] <simard> is there a way to copy panels in gnome ? I am thinking about the principal top one with Applications, Places, System.. that would be to have it on two screens for my dual head setup
[15:14] <gjut> geppy: I din'r know one could send to many at a time
[15:14] <geppy> simard: Yes, you can create a new one with the same layout, that'd be the simplest way that I know of
[15:14] <histo> geppy: nah to snmpee_
[15:14] <Caesi> geppy, everything's on as loud as possible :)
[15:14] <ASULutzy> valchers: Do you have to do like -oac copy when converting?
[15:15] <cr0w_> geppy i don't succeed to qualify the visual effect..i have a VIA Chrome 9 HC IGP
[15:15] <geppy> gjut: Oh, righto.  I don't know about most clients, but with gaim/pidgin, you can just put my name anywhere in the message and i'll get a blue tab and a noise
[15:16] <cr0w_> ...
[15:16] <the_darkside_986> Is there a good way to manage non-root user passwords of MySQL in Ubuntu? I tried phpMyAdmin but it simply doesn't change the user's password from blank to what I set it to, even after I restarted mysqld.
[15:16] <robert_> going to exit now thanks for help
[15:16] <geppy> caesi: Hmmm, I'm not sure what to say.  Is it the same Ubuntu install, or have you reinstalled?  Can you private message me the output of these two commands?  `lsof /dev/dsp` and `lsof /dev/snd/*`
[15:16] <Caesi> same install
[15:16] <Caesi> k
[15:16] <geppy> the_darkside_986: There are command-line mysql utilities if that's alright with you
[15:16] <simard> geppy: surely there must be files somewhere in my home folder that contain these panel settings
[15:16] <the_darkside_986> yeah i'll use anything as long as there are clear instructions and it works
[15:16] <geppy> simard: Yes, but the things are easier to manipulate via the GUI.
[15:17] <niruto> http://veronlinepeliculas.blogspot.com can you see the vreel movies ?
[15:18] <simard> geppy: possibly, but I dislike the idea of not having a copy paste function, thats why I'm going to spend more time finding how to do it from a shell than dragging around twice
[15:18] <Caesi> geppy, how do I paste multiple lines?
[15:18] <bieb> can someone help with the install of vmware server on 8.04? or is this better asked in the vmware channel?
[15:19] <snmpee_> bieb: well, did you get an error?
[15:19] <cr0w> sorry..i'm disconnected..
[15:19] <bieb> yeah

[15:20] <rw> How would I let totem open a video using only the terminal?
[15:20] <histo> rw: probably somethingl ike totem /path/to/video
[15:20] <geppy> simard: Aye, understood.  I would actually try googling it.  I don't think it's going to be in a simple ~/.config or ~/.gnome2 folder.  I _think_ it's going to be in gconf at this point, but I'm going looking around trying to help people with a lower baseline of functionality right now
[15:20] <histo> rw: or man totem to see some options
[15:20] <bieb> snmpee_: when it gets to the vmware-config.pl, there is an error:  "error: conflicting types for ‘uintptr_t’"  after this there are a few other errors, then Execution aborted
[15:20] <geppy> Caesi: Use pastebin or paste.ubuntu.com
[15:20] <geppy> bieb: I can, I just did it last night
[15:21] <rw> doesn't work
[15:21] <geppy> bieb: I'm assuming that you can't build the kernel modules?  I have a fix for that
[15:21] <bieb> ok geppy
[15:21] <simard> geppy: ok thank you :)
[15:21] <rw> I'm reading man pages now, thanks
[15:21] <livingtarget> rw: try "totem --enqueue your_file_name"
[15:21] <rw> will try
[15:21] <livingtarget> probably some other cmd that works too, but that works for me
[15:21] <Illuzionz> ehm, i somehow managed to zoom in or something, but how the *** do i get back to normal screen:P?
[15:22] <livingtarget> --play works too
[15:22] <bazhang> Illuzionz, scroll key on mouse
[15:22] <linduxed_> is there any way to get to know what application is ocupying ALSA so i cant get sound?
[15:22] <Illuzionz> No man
[15:22] <Muntrue> Illarane, hold the sindows (super) key and scroll down
[15:22] <Illuzionz> Not working:p
[15:22] <snmpee_> bieb: read http://www.howtoforge.org/the-perfect-desktop-kubuntu-8.04-lts-p5 search the page for "error: conflicting"
[15:23] <snmpee_> bieb there's a solution on that page
[15:23] <Muntrue> Illuzionz, Hold the windows (super) key and scroll down
[15:23] <bieb> cool
[15:23] <genii> Illuzionz: Maybe try ctrl key with the scroll
[15:23] <rw> livingtarget: doesn't work. It says 'cannot open display".
[15:23] <histo> Found it alt+F9
[15:23] <bazhang> Illuzionz, aye with ctrl key
[15:23] <Illuzionz> i was figuring out the show desktop shortcut key, but now i zoomed in onto my xchat screen
[15:23] <rw> Could this be because I'm ssh'ed into the server?
[15:23] <msshams> ﻿please tell me that cacti and zabbix are applications with same usage?

[15:23] <livingtarget> :D
[15:23] <Illuzionz> Nope
[15:23] <untermensch> livingtarget: how ?
[15:23] <Muntrue> Illuzionz, Hold the windows (super) key and scroll down
[15:23] <Illuzionz> not working
[15:24] <rw> livingtarget: I am

[15:24] <kelvin911> how to list a sequence using linux command?
[15:24] <untermensch> can you not run x but still run GUI programs ?
[15:24] <Illuzionz> i hit something like windows key + u/y
[15:24] <snmpee_> kelvin911: please be more specific with your question.
[15:24] <Jack_Sparrow> snmpee_ May I have a word in PM when you have a second
[15:24] <untermensch> kelvin911: do you mean with one program ?
[15:25] <livingtarget> untermensch: erm not really but I dunno if ppl are newbies and know what X is :P
[15:25] <kelvin911> for N in {1..99}; do echo "&N" >> file; done
[15:25] <kelvin911> but i want 01 02 03 04 .... 99 instead of 1 2 3 .... 99
[15:25] <untermensch> livingtarget: i was wondering how someone in here killed x and was still on pidgin/xchat/w/e
[15:25] <untermensch> kelvin911: what are you speaking of?
[15:26] <thebishop> is there a deb that contains a lot of additional, maybe "quirky" fonts that I can use in Gimp?
[15:26] <livingtarget> heh surely in ctrl+alt+f1 you could've killed x and still run a chat window somewhere
[15:26] <mrtimdog> kelvin911: use printf
[15:26] <bringatowel> is there any program which can show the make & model of my RAM?
[15:26] <the_darkside_986> untermensch,  I suppose it prevents the client from giving a clean quit message so they just wait for timeout.
[15:26] <kelvin911> for N in {1..99}; do echo "&N" >> file; done <----- this gave me 1 2 3 4 .... 99
[15:26] <kelvin911> i want 01 02 03 04 .... 99
[15:26] <untermensch> livingtarget: where would it run? x is dead!!! ah!!
[15:26] <untermensch> the_darkside_986: would it just time out?
[15:27] <livingtarget> untermensch: point taken, I just forget x != gdm
[15:27] <rw> Ok, I'm reprashing my question. In my terminal session, I am connected to my other ubuntu box using ssh to do so. I was wondering how I can open a video file from the other computer using totem on this computer, using nothing but the terminal.
[15:27] <valchers> em.. wat is path to ffmpeg directory?
[15:27] <Muntrue> untermensch, hitting those keys would swtich from GUI to a no GUI shell. you can get back with alt+shift F4 or something like that to the GUI shell
[15:27] <kelvin911> i mean for N in {1..99}; do echo "$N" >> file; done
[15:27] <kelvin911> hello?
[15:27] <Sylphid|work> !ot kelvin911
[15:27] <livingtarget> rw: I don't know exactly how you would go about there's a --display command that might help you out just try totem --help and explore the --display command
[15:27] <Sylphid|work> !offtopic kelvin911
[15:28] <ASULutzy> rw: The best way to do that would be to mount the drive using a share
[15:28] <kelvin911> all noob here?
[15:28] <rw> asulutzy: I was thinking I was going to have to do that.
[15:29] <Sylphid|work> !offtopic | kelvin911
[15:29] <valchers> where is path to ffmpeg dir, if i instal apt-get install ffmpeg in /etc/ffmpeg no
[15:29] <rw> Now I'm new to ssh using only the terminal. How wold I copy a file from the server to my local machine?
[15:29] <rw> OR isn't that possible either?
[15:29] <fde> valchers: dpkg -L ffmpeg
[15:29] <untermensch> Muntrue: lol really ? i always rebooted
[15:29] <ASULutzy> rw: Easiest way is to just click Places -> connect to server, and select ssh and fill in the info there
[15:30] <mrtimdog> rw: see man scp
[15:30] <ASULutzy> rw: Also there's scp
[15:30] <rw> asulutzy; I'm on fluxbox and nautilus can't handle ssh. But I'll take a look at scp
[15:30] <rw> thanks
[15:30] <mrtimdog> rw: ... or rsync
[15:30] <Muntrue> untermensch, hehe it does not kill X , just switch shells
[15:30] <flyrev> Hi. I have messed up my system by installing old packages -- now I am attempting to fix it by using the Ubuntu 7.10 Live DVD (it is a 7.10 system), chrooting to the system and apt-get-ing packages. However, I get all kinds of strange error messages about hal, like this one (during apt-get -f install) dpkg: warning - old pre-removal script returned error exit status 1 -- and eventually the script dies.
[15:31] <AbuAnsar> hello
[15:31] <flyrev> I can't seem to find anything useful on Google; the threads related are either unhelpful or unsolved.
[15:31] <untermensch> Muntrue: is there anyway to kill x ?
[15:31] <amenado> rw you can try mounting a remote filesystem..    sshfs  remote.com:/home/dir/vidio   /media/local/home-pc
[15:31] <ljsoftnet> AbuAsnar: hi
[15:31] <AbuAnsar> i m using ubuntu 8.04 and i installed Google Earth
[15:31] <AbuAnsar> but i cant view in 3D
[15:31] <flyrev> I would very much like to resolve this *without* a reinstall
[15:31] <AbuAnsar> do you guys know how to fix the problem?
[15:31] <untermensch> AbuAnsar: is your graphics card active ?
[15:31] <Muntrue> untermensch, yea there is, i would have to look it up tho if you really want to know
[15:31] <AbuAnsar> untermensch how to activate it?
[15:32] <untermensch> Muntrue: no need for all the trouble. i was just curiouse. thanks though =]
[15:32] <ASULutzy> rw: Yea, I share folders on the remote machine and then just sudo smbmount //192.168.0.102/share /media/videos -o username=$USER something like that
[15:32] <untermensch> AbuAnsar: go to system/admin/restricted drives manager
[15:32] <AbuAnsar> system --> administration --> hardware drivers doesnt show anything
[15:32] <Michael_Knight> Hello. Is it any software like SELinux or Apparmor in Ubuntu out of the box?
[15:32] <untermensch> one step ahead of the game..
[15:32] <bazhang> !info apparmor
[15:32] <AbuAnsar> untermensch i did but it doesnt show anything , its empty
[15:32] <bazhang> Michael_Knight, see above
[15:32] <Muntrue> untermensch, why would you want to kill X tho
[15:33] <ezguy> hi, i keep getting this error: ata1.00: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 actionn
[15:33] <untermensch> anybody here remember the bash to find graphics card ?
[15:33] <livingtarget> ok I have a question about samba in nautilus in ubuntu 8.04 vs 7.10. In the old nautilus it would never 'mount' a samba network share it would only browse it. Now with the new nautilus it starts asking passwords (it's an empty password = windows machines) and then mounts it. Is there any way to get rid of the password box or revert to the old behaviour?
[15:33] <ezguy> it corrupted my data and i have replace the drive 3 times but keep running into this problem, any ideas what could be the problem?
[15:33] <cr0w> I have a Via 'Chrome 9' videocard and am trying to enable 'desktop effects'.  Will this be possible?
[15:33] <untermensch> Muntrue: cause sometimes i feel REALLY smart when i can use the shell mode (ctrl + alt + f1)
[15:33] <bazhang> Michael_Knight, selinux is optional; needs to be installed
[15:34] <cr0w> I have a Via 'Chrome 9' videocard and am trying to enable 'desktop effects'.  Will this be possible?
[15:34] <Michael_Knight> bazhang: Ubuntu 9.1 ? and what is the current stable version? I know that it is possible to install SELinux or AppArmor. I've just wanted to know default features.
[15:34] <Muntrue> untermensch, lol but you can still use that one and go back to X with ctrl + akt + f4
[15:34] <livingtarget> muntrue is right
[15:35] <untermensch> Muntrue: lol, i always did sudo shutdown now, then went to "continue normal reboot"
[15:35] <livingtarget> try going in ctrl+alt+f1 and do 'sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop' :D
[15:35] <bazhang> Michael_Knight, apparmor is standard in current 8.04; selinux is installable from repos
[15:35] <livingtarget> remember to start it again
[15:35] <untermensch> livingtarget: lol nah i'm good
[15:35] <snmpee_> untermensch: lspci
[15:35] <BlearyBram> Michael_Knight: current stable version is of course 8.04 (Hardy)
[15:35] <cr0w> I have a Via 'Chrome 9' videocard and am trying to enable 'desktop effects'.  Will this be possible?
[15:35] <untermensch> that's it!
[15:35] <AbuAnsar> untermensch do you know why i cnt see any restricted drivers? its empty
[15:35] <untermensch> i thought so..
[15:35] <Michael_Knight> bazhang: thanks
[15:35] <untermensch> AbuAnsar: please post the output of lspci
[15:35] <bazhang> np
[15:35] <untermensch> snmpee_: isn't that for all your drivers >
[15:35] <AbuAnsar> ok hold on a sec
[15:36] <Muntrue> untermensch, Now there is no more need for that ;)
[15:36] <snmpee_> untermensch that's for all your bus devices
[15:36] <rw> Thanks for the help. SCP and rsync are working fine.
[15:36] <untermensch> snmpee_: that's what i thought. isn't there a graphics specific one?
[15:37] <bringatowel> is there any program which can show the make & model of my RAM?

[15:37] <untermensch> Muntrue: lol well yea. except for one of the options instead of "continue with normal reboot" is "fix x" which has come in handy a lot.
[15:37] <AbuAnsar> 00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)
[15:37] <snmpee_> untermensch: well, it probably says VGA compatible controller:

[15:37] <BonezAU_> can someone please tell me how to install a new kernel from the Ubuntu Kernel PPA website. I have added the info to my sources.list but can't see any new packages available
[15:37] <AbuAnsar> hi
[15:37] <cr0w> hi
[15:37] <Muntrue> untermensch, you can also restart X by hitting Ctrl + alt + backspace (dont test that now it will reboot X )
[15:37] <cr0w> I have a Via 'Chrome 9' videocard and am trying to enable 'desktop effects'.  Will this be possible?
[15:38] <AbuAnsar> untermensch i m usin a macbook and desktop effects work fine

[15:38] <shaun-marlin_> I am using a GUI
[15:38] <bieb> snmpee_: I now get this error: "gcc: error trying to exec 'cc1plus': execvp: No such file or directory" ..

[15:38] <matcol> i'm interested in pre-installing ubuntu on systems as a retailer - could someone point me at the relevant legalese or just tell me if that's ok with canonical?
[15:38] <untermensch> AbuAnsar: what's the prob again ?
[15:39] <Muntrue> untermensch, It just restarts X so you can do that instead of a hard reboot
[15:39] <untermensch> matcol: i'm pretty sure it is.
[15:39] <AbuAnsar> untermensch i can't view Google EArth in 3D
[15:39] <BonezAU_> can someone please tell me how to install a new kernel from the Ubuntu Kernel PPA website. I have added the info to my sources.list but can't see any new packages available
[15:39] <AbuAnsar> and restricted drivers are not listed when i go to system / admin / hardware drivers
[15:39] <untermensch> Muntrue: how could you even hit ctr + alt + backspace if you were in the situation that you would need to hard reboot?
[15:39] <untermensch> hmm
[15:39] <untermensch> AbuAnsar: how old is this graphics card ?
[15:39] <AbuAnsar> like few months old :)
[15:40] <matcol> untermensch, pretty sure is usually pretty unsure :)
[15:40] <untermensch> AbuAnsar: wow, i'm lost =\
[15:40] <AbuAnsar> its a macbook
[15:40] <AbuAnsar> maybe that could be the reason?
[15:40] <untermensch> matcol: lol it's free ware. i doubt they would. but you could ask. send them an email or something. idk
[15:40] <Muntrue> untermensch, I have never really had a situation where linux crashed so hard. but Ctrl + alt + backspace works just as well as switching shells.
[15:40] <untermensch> AbuAnsar: i'm really not positive. i try to stay away from macs tbh
[15:41] <genii> AbuAnsar: Almost all the restricted drivers are written for i386 type kernel, unfortunately
[15:41] <AbuAnsar> hmm
[15:41] <untermensch> Muntrue: i have.. =\ i think it's more of the dying hard drive i have though. =[

[16:03] <Joker_-_> geppy: wouldnt it be better to put it in initr.d?
[16:03] <ml> ok, but I don't see any ETC directory on the key, and it seems the usb key becomes read-only after boot (I guess so it doesn't die too fast on me)
[16:03] <eshat> @ALL: Is there a file that logs me out graphically (from gnome or xfce) ?
[16:04] <ml> I have a 8 gb key which I partition 1gb/7gb and then I use the UNETBOOT241 program to create my ubuntu on the 1gb partition
[16:04] <shaun-marlin_> ok, in ubuntu I am logged in to my profile and made changes to a read only file.  How ever, it is saying I don't have permission to save the changes I have made.  How do I gain the root access in my GUI
[16:04] <geppy> Joker_-_: Ah, yeah, Idunno.  I think the Linux startup systems are a huge mess and that trying to preserve order thereof is like . . . well, there's really nothing like it.  Sweeping the sahara comes to mind.
[16:04] <Raheem> shaun-marlin_, gksudo
[16:04] <Joker_-_> geppy: thats not my opinion ;)
[16:04] <Dr_Willis> eshat,  the #gnome guys may know of one for gnome..   or restert gdm. that will force a logout instantly
[16:05] <bonespur> hi...my ubuntu hardy is very unstable..and hangs often..any ideas how to fix it?
[16:05] <geppy> Joker_-_: haha, well, I'm not surprised, seeing as you're hanging out in #ubuntu
[16:05] <ml> this is what I have on the key :
[16:05] <Joker_-_> geppy: I find linux clean and sharp. I use ubuntu for only 3 days but I've been using slackware for 10 years, and gentoo for about 5

[16:05] <FloodBot1> ml: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[16:06] <Joker_-_> geppy: I just dont understand the problem with one program (bitlbee)... I'm not used to ubuntu yet (and debugging in it)
[16:06] <ml> sorry i shouldn't have pasted it :)
[16:06] <geppy> Joker_-_: I've been using linux for six years or so.  I think that the desktop CAN present a unified, slick and clean feel.  However, the systems behind it are a real mess.
[16:06] <Joker_-_> ml: use nopaste next time
[16:06] <Joker_-_> geppy: I dont use GUI ;)
[16:07] <ml> but see I can't find .xinitrc nor anything that would lead to an entry point for a script to run after boot
[16:07] <geppy> Joker_-_: sucks to be you :P
[16:07] <Joker_-_> geppy: :P
[16:07] <Sonja> convert *.gif -trim trimmed/*.gif is not working
[16:08] <Sonja> is there a syntax error in my command?
[16:08] <_Brun0_> why this: "sudo mount -t smbfs -o username=123,password=123 //server/bruno /media/bruno_server" gets me the error:   "mount error: could not find target server. TCP name server/bruno not found. No ip address specified and hostname not found". I can browse the share file normally in the file manager (nautilus). please i need help baldy. i need that share mounted to recover some lost files.
[16:08] <geppy> ml: .xinitrc is in your home directory.  It might not exist, but if you put a text file there with that name, it will be run after you log in.  However, if this is an unattended machine that doesn't have auto-login, I would use one of the startup systems like initrd.  Joker will be glad to assist you with this. (joker: :P )
[16:08] <Sonja> it only works if i name the file like: convert abc.gif -trim trimmed/abc.gif
[16:08] <Joker_-_> _Brun0_: it's \
[16:08] <geppy> _Brun0_: It would probably be easier to do http://192.168.1.X/bruno to access the share
[16:09] <geppy> _Brun0_: Also, make sure that you have 'smbfs'. Installed.  You might try installing 'smbclient' as well.  Then you can run `smbclient -L` and it will show you the available shares, addressable by IP.
[16:09] <Joker_-_> geppy: glad... well thats what I'm paid for. NOT?!
[16:09] <geppy> Joker_-_: haha
[16:10] <ml> I understand, except there is NO /etc nor /home nor /bin nor / whatever on the USB key which I use for booting. There just is some directories like isolinux, casper, .disk, etc
[16:10] <geppy> ml: Oh, okay.
[16:10] <Joker_-_> oh _Brun0_, you could also add the IP to your hosts.conf in /etc...
[16:10] <geppy> Joker_-_: He's just doing recovery, I don't think a long-term solution is appropriate
[16:10] <ml> it's an unformed filesystem which I'm guessing is uncompressed into memory, since I can also remove the USB key after boot and the os still runs fine
[16:10] <Kohnrad1982> Anyone know of a telnet client that will support key mapping?
[16:11] <Joker_-_> geppy: recovery?
[16:11] <geppy> ml: It sounds like .disk is the filesystem image, which would have /etc, /usr, etc.
[16:11] <ml> btw, no hard disk in the machine
[16:11] <geppy> Joker_-_: "please i need help baldy. i need that share mounted to recover some lost files."
[16:11] <Joker_-_> geppy: You WIN :D
[16:11] <ml> nope... only 3 files, 50 bytes each ~
[16:12] <Joker_-_> geppy: I'm too old for those fast chatting channels
[16:12] <ml> casper-uuid-generic, info, and release_notes_url
[16:12] <_Brun0_> this worked! "sudo mount -t smbfs -o username=bubux,password=123 //192.168.0.3/bruno /media/bruno_server" Thank you all! Now lets grep around EXT3 for lost files =(
[16:13] <geppy> Joker_-_: haha
[16:13] <geppy> _Brun0_: Good luck, mate.  I'm sorry to hear that you're in the same boat I'm in. :(
[16:14] <_Brun0_> geppy: good luck. =(
[16:14] <geppy> _Brun0_: Wow, that's really weird.  I actually just learned the syntax on that stupid smbfs mount last night so that I could access the image of my lost ext3 partition.
[16:14] <ml> I wonder if there is a way to pass a parameter to run a script at the grub menu
[16:15] <geppy> ml: grub doesn't have a script interpreter :-/
[16:15] <bastid_raZor> i have a harddrive i pulled from a windows box that the MB went down in. i need to be able to mount it. since it crashed while in windows i'm unable to mount it. i get an I/O error. is there a way to make this mount without finding a way to boot to windows and chkdsk it?
[16:15] <AeronTS> geppy, nope i am Aeron and *something else* :D  thanks for the channel list
[16:15] <geppy> ml: I would try finding something that understands that ".disk" format
[16:15] <th0r> geppy, _Brun0_ , have you tried fusesmb for accessing the network?
[16:16] <geppy> AeronTS: Oops, was that supposed to be for someone else?
[16:16] <geppy> th0r: Err, no, we both got the smbfs kernel driver working.
[16:16] <geppy> th0r: SMB wasn't our problem, it was just a temporary barrier in us reaching our real problems.
[16:16] <_Brun0_> th0r: yea. geppy is right
[16:17] <geppy> _Brun0_: Unfortunately . . .
[16:17] <th0r> geppy, just thought I would mention it. Once I found fusesmb I left the smbmount thing way behind
[16:17] <AeronTS> geppy: nope, you got the right person :D
[16:17] <geppy> th0r: Ah, righto, thanks.
[16:17] <geppy> AeronTS: okay, good. :)
[16:17] <Joker_-_> geppy: When you install gentoo, theres a bug not naming the drives the same way that it does when installed. ie: /dev/sda can swap with /dev/sdb and so on... I once installed gentoo and then formatted a drive (mk2fs.ext3)... I figured it wasnt the right drive I was formatting when it was already halfway done... It was my 500gb movie collection... I only recovered near 200gb and it's been a near 12 hours work with an other guy on #gentoo... I le
[16:17] <flyrev> Possible to reinstall a system without touching anything else on the same partition_
[16:17] <flyrev> ?
[16:17] <geppy> th0r: In truth, I'm ready to leave the whole "linux" thing behind as soon as I get this recovery nonsense taken care of.
[16:19] <bastid_raZor> geppy; if i had that attitude about something i couldn't get to work correctly.. i would have divorced my wife long ago
[16:19] <geppy> Joker_-_: 'testdisk' is actually pretty good about that.  The thing is that if you reformat an ext3 drive you don't lose any data because it puts the same crap in the same places.  Now, you'll be unable to access the references to your data, but 'testdisk' can recover those painlessly.  My problem is that after the format I put eight gigs of crap on my computer and now testdisk can't help me.  It found the backup superblocks, but e2fsck won'
[16:19] <will01> i just installed hardy on a dell inspiron 4000, but the screen is split up and duplicated rather than how it should be
[16:20] <geppy> bastid_raZor: hah, it's not that I can't get it to work correctly, it's that I don't think it's worth the trouble.  After six years of putting up with Linux I'm ready to switch to opensolaris and XP.  Not that Opensolaris is really any better, but I'd like to work on ZFS
[16:20] <bastid_raZor> geppy; good luck :)
[16:20] <geppy> bastid_raZor: haha, thanks
[16:21] <compubomb> i have a problem, my system is in read-only mode
[16:21] <compubomb> i did a non-graceful shutdown the other day on my laptop
[16:21] <Joker_-_> geppy:  worlked a lot with superblocks backups but for some obcur reasons, most of em didnt worked out. We finally got one working but I just didnt got exactly why, what and when... In fact I dont remember everything from this recovery but half of the data was missing
[16:21] <compubomb> i forget what i did.
[16:21] <compubomb> but now when i boot it up, my jfs file system is in ro mode
[16:21] <compubomb> what do i do to figure out why ?
[16:22] <lekev> Hi all, anybody know a command-line based tool to bruteforece telnet?
[16:22] <geppy> Joker_-_: Ah, that sucks.  One thing about 'testdisk' is that it's really four or five utilities.  The 'photorec' bit will recover any contiguous files on the system, regardless of the filesystem they were stored on.  Of course, the days of contiguous files being a reality or even a good idea are gone.
[16:22] <fwaokda> if anyone can help me with this I'd appreciate it -- http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5435658#post5435658
[16:23] <robotic> Hi all.  Does anyone know about the system process "popularity-cont" and why it runs?
[16:23] <Joker_-_> geppy: a good idea would be _NOT_ to delete important files...
[16:24] <geppy> robotic: If you have it enabled in "update-manager", it tells the Ubuntu people about what programs you have installed.  No personal information is transmitted.
[16:24] <robotic> geppy: thanks a lot
[16:24] <KenBW2> robotic: its a CLI app that tells you what apps are being used most
[16:24] <leftyfb> Has anyone here used sshguard? I can run it manually to stderr as sudo, but adding it to syslog is giving me nothing. I THINK it's a problem with permissions, but i've already tried chowning  sshguard to syslog and it still gave me nothing. Nothing in messages or syslog about sshguard at all.
[16:24] <geppy> Joker_-_: Well, I didn't delete any important files, I just overwrote their filesystem metadata with crap. :P
[16:24] <genii> compubomb: You might want to run something like fsck.jfs on it
[16:24] <Joker_-_> geppy: how?
[16:24] <hiptobecubic> is there a way to change the encoding that firefox uses in flash apps? I'm trying to use stickam and my accents appear as ridiculous jumbles
[16:24] <compubomb> Gnea: i did.
[16:25] <geppy> Gnea: Ah, crap, foremost is basically the same as photorec.  I actually found a reference to that the other day.  I already ran photorec and it did what it could, but it can only recover contiguous files and even in that case you lose the metadata. :(  Thanks, though!
[16:25] <BlearyBram> geppy: but that might mean you'd never be able to reaccess them again?
[16:25] <robotic> geppy, kenbw2: is it possible to disable popularity contest in synaptic without uninstalling ubuntu-standard?
[16:25] <bullgard4> robotic: Synaptic will tell you about popularity-contest.
[16:25] <geppy> Joker_-_: How?  I meant to reinstall Windows on my tertiary harddrive or something and installed it on the wrong one.  I'd installed eight gigs of crap before I realized my error.
[16:25] <Gnea> !language | geppy
[16:26] <geppy> robotic: Yes, go into 'update-manager' and uncheck the bit about sending information to the deverlopers
[16:26] <geppy> Gnea: Sorry.
[16:26] <Joker_-_> geppy: Thats god punishing you for installing windows
[16:26] <geppy> BlearyBram: It might . . .  But I'm far too stubborn for that.
[16:26] <Gnea> geppy: foremost isn't the same as photorec.
[16:26] <BlearyBram> geppy: because gentoo swapped drive links.
[16:26] <bastid_raZor> Joker_-_; nice
[16:26] <geppy> Joker_-_: heh, yeah, that's why I used the phrase 'errant program' when I first came in here.

[16:27] <craigbass1976> I want to have one email account that I can check from wherever (this I can do already) but I'd also like to save sent messages on the server as well and have my clients update so that I have the same sent emails on every client. WHere do I start?
[16:27] <hiptobecubic> craigbass1976, gmail?
[16:27] <craigbass1976> Currently running postfix and dovecot
[16:27] <geppy> Gnea: quote from the internets: "Foremost (foremost.sourceforge.net) might help  too; it ignores the file system structure and just looks for beginning and endings  of files.  So it needs distinctive files (e.g. jpeg) and contiguous files. "
[16:27] <Joker_-_> abhi_: you can, but you can also go back to apple store and ask for a refun if you've got it for least than 30 days
[16:27] <geppy> Gnea: Maybe not the same, but to me it looks like the same idea with the same advantages and limitations
[16:27] <craigbass1976> hiptobecubic: no, mail server is my own
[16:27] <Gnea> geppy: so you haven't actually used it yet?
[16:27] <geppy> craigbass1976: gmail and pop3
[16:27] <abhi_> Joker_-_, : what
[16:28] <craigbass1976> geppy: I don't trust google
[16:28] <geppy> Gnea: Haven't used foremost?  No.  I've used photorec, but either way that's not what I'm interested in: I'm interested in using the filesystem structure data that I've already verified is on the disk.
[16:28] <geppy> craigbass1976: err, hotmail?  yahoo! ?
[16:28] <Joker_-_> abhi_: lets suppose you realy wanted an mac, you'll have to use the stupid program they give you with it to boot... bootcamp or something liek that
[16:28] <Gnea> geppy: well, when you get some results (or no results), come talk to me.
[16:28] <BlearyBram> abhi_: you can certainly get GRUB working on Mac as well, not sure you could use bootcamp for the bootloader though.
[16:28] <geppy> craigbass1976: you could set up your own pop3 server
[16:29] <geppy> Gnea: The thing is that if foremost requires contiguous files, it's not going to find anything that photorec hasn't already found.  I've already recovered what that class of utility can
[16:29] <craigbass1976> geppy: I already have a pop3 server.  I'm running postfix and dovecot.  I can currently check from anywhere, but want a way to synchronize my clients
[16:29] <Joker_-_> abhi_: I bet theres a lot of howtos on the net about your mac, just google something like "YourMacbookType ubuntu howto"
[16:29] <Gnea> geppy: the point is that you haven't actually used it yet, and so you're just wasting time now.
[16:29] <abhi_> BlearyBram, : does bootcamp detect linux. can't i use grub...
[16:29] <Joker_-_> abhi_: I'm pretty sure you'll have a walk trough
[16:30] <craigbass1976> geppy: Thunderbird on my laptop, for instance, doesn't have mail in the sent folder that thunderbird on my desktop does, or that my work box does
[16:30] <abhi_> Joker_-_, :ok
[16:30] <Joker_-_> abhi_: nope, you can't use grub. Well you can, but inside bootcamp.
[16:30] <sipior> craigbass1976: why not change over to imap?
[16:30] <geppy> Gnea: I don't see how that's a logical conclusion.  According to the foremost project page, "  Foremost is a console program to recover files based on their headers, footers, and internal data  structures".  That isn't the class of utility that I'm looking for.
[16:30] <Joker_-_> abhi_: Macs doesnt work like intel compat. when it comes to booting
[16:30] <abhi_> Joker_-_, : bootcamp is macs bootloader?
[16:30] <geppy> craigbass1976: Don't ask me, I don't do my own mailservers and I don't use thunderbird.
[16:30] <BlearyBram> Joker_-_: Oh, ugh...
[16:31] <Joker_-_> abhi_: yeah. Not 100% sure of the name tho
[16:31]  * craigbass1976 shakes his head
[16:31] <sipior> craigbass1976: is imap not an option?
[16:31] <Joker_-_> abhi_: but it's something like that. A friend of mine had to pay to have it... Mac is devil. Remember that
[16:31] <hiptobecubic> craigbass1976, honestly it sounds like what you want is a webapp.
[16:31] <craigbass1976> sipior: probably.  I'm googling--I know nothing about it
[16:31] <BlearyBram> Joker_-_: when it comes to OSS, rather devilish, but doesn't it look "nice"? :P
[16:32] <hiptobecubic> just tell yahoo or gmail or whatever you want to use your server
[16:32] <Joker_-_> BlearyBram: yup, looks just like gnome :P
[16:32] <Joker_-_> BlearyBram: wich i dislike tho ;)
[16:32] <Gnea> geppy: because you're basing an assumption, thus extrapolating the concept of 'assuming' to a whole new level, on what a website tells you, rather than making another attempt at obtaining the data that you require, over an unsaid fear or something.  You asked for help, I offered, now you're telling me that my help is no good.  Please, go elsewhere if you're looking for trouble.
[16:32] <BlearyBram> Joker_-_: a K fan? :P
[16:32] <abhi_> Joker_-_, :so it is not combined with mac book. i check at apple.com that mac book uses core2duo. so why does't it follow intel style booting.
[16:32] <Joker_-_> BlearyBram: Hell no, a shell fan. K is the wors imo. I'd pick XFCE at elast.
[16:33] <BlearyBram> Joker_-_: Hence :P
[16:33] <Joker_-_> abhi_: it's a hard drive thing
[16:33] <BlearyBram> Hah, shell, got to learn the art of it. :S
[16:33] <abhi_> Joker_-_, : oh
[16:33] <hiptobecubic> all hail the shell!
[16:33] <Joker_-_> abhi_: I dont know everything and why, but I've eard it's somehow "the future way" of booting. It doesnt use bios or anything
[16:34] <abhi_> Joker_-_, : oh
[16:34] <Joker_-_> abhi_: try to read a bit about that, You'll get better informed than from an appel-hating random guy on irc ;)

[16:35] <Alan_M> wow this room is kinda quiet today
[16:35] <nownot> im setting up a vpn server, i get bad source address from client. i believe this means i have to setup a route to go from the tun interface to the interface going to my network. is this right?
[16:35] <Joker_-_> abhi_: anyway, just google your mac, ubuntu and howto
[16:35] <Joker_-_> abhi_: I bet you'll get everything you need
[16:35] <abhi_> Joker_-_, : ok.
[16:35] <abhi_> which laptop is best compatible with ubuntu?
[16:36] <BlearyBram> abhi_: I really want to know that answer myself.  I heard Dell and ThinkPad seemed to be best, but I don't know.
[16:36] <Joker_-_> abhi_: I guess everything is kinda compatible. The newer, the less likely to be fully compatible tho
[16:37] <Alan_M> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam abhi_ you can try looking at this link :)
[16:37] <Alan_M> im not sure of how "up to date" it is.
[16:37] <fwaokda> how do you edit tilda? like its options?
[16:37] <Raheem> abhi_, http://www.linux-laptop.net/ that also helps i believe
[16:38] <Joker_-_> abhi_: Corporations are building drivers for windows, but thats the community who has to develop drivers for the majority of hardware in linux, without having the specs needed from manifacturers most of the time... Reverse engeneering ftw.
[16:38] <Alan_M> Raheem: i wasnt aware of that page, thanks :)
[16:38] <abhi_> Joker_-_,, BlearyBram : few days back i am compiling kernel . one option is there for 1>dell 2>toshiba.
[16:38] <Joker_-_> abhi_: so the older it is, the most likely it is to be compatible
[16:38] <Raheem> :)
[16:38] <abhi_> that true
[16:38] <cr0w> hi i have a problem..as the themes are settled? I do not succeed to us..
[16:38] <fwaokda> whats the command to uninstall a program from shell?

[16:39] <Alan_M> cr0w: can you rephrase your question? i am not understanding you buddy :)
[16:39] <Raheem> abhi_, i am using hp compaq 6720s .. core2duo .. works perfectly
[16:39] <abhi_> thinks dell is selling laptops with ubuntu in us
[16:39] <Alan_M> abhi_: you are right
[16:39] <cr0w> Alan_m i want install a theme..
[16:39] <fwaokda> ty :)
[16:39] <cr0w> but..i don't succeed ..
[16:39] <crawler> hi everybody
[16:39] <abhi_> Raheem, : which model
[16:39] <Joker_-_> abhi_: I have a few friends who got everything working out of their macs... none uses ubuntu tho
[16:39] <Alan_M> cr0w: what part of installing are you having trouble with? do you get any error messages?
[16:39] <Joker_-_> abhi_: but any distro is the same when it comes to hardware
[16:39] <abhi_> Joker_-_, : good joke
[16:40] <xidryck> hi, im a newbie in ubuntu. do i need an anti-virus in ubuntu?

[16:40] <Sudowman> xidryck: nope, but you should configure a firewall
[16:40] <Joker_-_> abhi_: heh, wasnt a joke, no pun intended ;)
[16:40] <Raheem> !antivirus
[16:40] <xidryck> leftyfb> what abount in wine?
[16:40] <Alan_M> xidryck: ubuntu is linux..and linux doesnt have any virii associated with it, so the simple and short answer is no :)
[16:40] <Joker_-_> abhi_: have you googled like I told you to?
[16:40] <xidryck> thanks all
[16:40] <cr0w> Alan_M i download the theme and I do not know what I must make.
[16:41] <Alan_M> cr0w: can you please take this back out of private message so that we can all contribute? thank you :)
[16:41] <Joker_-_> abhi_: whats your macbook type?
[16:41] <abhi_> Joker_-_, : i will check it latter
[16:41] <leftyfb> xidryck: windows virus's are VERY difficult, or impossible to run in wine. People have tried.
[16:41] <chubby_sby> how active samba in ubuntu 8.40
[16:41] <abhi_> Joker_-_, : i am going to buy

[16:41] <Alan_M> cr0w, are you on Ubuntu hardy herron?
[16:41] <Joker_-_> abhi_: first hit
[16:41] <cr0w> yes
[16:41] <Darkchef> hey all, anyone know how to limit the cpu usage ?? its making my laptop very hot ??
[16:41] <xidryck> leftyfb> so wine is safe
[16:42] <Joker_-_> abhi_: I simply typed: macbook ubuntu howto: 62 000 hits in 0,24 secs...
[16:42] <Joker_-_> talk about efficiency
[16:42] <Joker_-_> I bet google doesnt work on  Windows :)
[16:42] <Darkchef> abhi_: try google first
[16:42] <Darkchef> joker _-_ - it does
[16:42] <Windsurfer619> leftyfb: Wine isn't "Safe". You can still infect things or delete your system running something with wine.
[16:42] <Joker_-_> Darkchef: wow, stunning :P
[16:42] <Sudowman> Darkchef: in /etc/limits.conf
[16:43] <xidryck> sudowman> how do i configure a firewall in ubuntu?
[16:43] <bsrat> have machine 64bit amd, 4gb. is it better to install 32bit or 64bit to run my 32-bit fps games
[16:43] <Darkchef> gksudo /etc/limits.conf ?
[16:43] <Alan_M> cr0w: you can follow these steps, go to the system tab...go to the preferences submenu item...then move your mouse over to the Appearance menu item, click on that....then drag the theme that you got from the website to the little list of themes..and it should be all set.
[16:43] <leftyfb> Windsurfer619: I never said wine was "safe". But for the most part, people have tried to run some of the most dangerous virus's in wine and failed.
[16:44] <winboard> hallo
[16:44] <Sudowman> xidryck: To configure a firewall manually you should use iptables, see man iptables, but I think there are easier ways to do it with a gui
[16:44] <Sudowman> !firewall
[16:44] <Windsurfer619> leftyfb: That may be true, but the ultimate goal of wine is to get those viruses to actually work the same as on windows.
[16:44] <leftyfb> Windsurfer619 / xidryck : regardless, wine for the most part should be used to those 1 or 2 windows applications you can't live without. Not for installing crapware you found on limewire or some xxxgirls.exe someone sent you over IM.
[16:44] <leftyfb> Windsurfer619: incorrect
[16:45] <Darkchef> ﻿Sudowman - that conf file is empty
[16:45] <Sudowman> Darkchef: see man limits.conf
[16:45] <Windsurfer619> leftyfb: Viruses rely on bugs and quirks in the windows API. Wine is trying to replicate those bugs and quirks.
[16:45] <Darkchef> ok
[16:45] <Joker_-_> well, I'm off, be back later
[16:46] <xidryck> leftyfb> okay. i just used it to play warcraft III but when i run warcraft all i see is black screen
[16:46] <leftyfb> wine is not trying to emulate any bugs or quirks. Nor is it trying to emulate most of the windows api that most applications do not need to run.
[16:46] <Darkchef> sudowman : ok ill give it a go
[16:46] <Sudowman> Darkchef: my bad  it is   /etc/security/limits.conf
[16:46] <leftyfb> xidryck: that's not a virus.
[16:46] <vaibhav> what is happening here
[16:46] <vaibhav> anyone here
[16:46] <vaibhav> i want help
[16:46] <bazhang> vaibhav, ubuntu support
[16:46] <xidryck> sudowman> i will try help. there is something in there that says about installing firewall
[16:47] <vaibhav> hi
[16:47] <Raheem> vaibhav, many here.. state ur issue please
[16:47] <vaibhav> i am using ubuntu 5.10
[16:47] <xidryck> leftyfb> i know. i just don't know how to configure it right
[16:47] <bazhang> vaibhav, that is eol
[16:47] <vaibhav> i am unable to install packages using apt-get
[16:47] <vaibhav> please help
[16:47] <DRebellion> vaibhav, 5.10 is no longer supported
[16:47] <DRebellion> you should upgrade
[16:47] <bazhang> vaibhav, there are no more repos for that
[16:47] <vaibhav> how to upgrade
[16:47] <leftyfb> xidryck: did you look on winehq.org ?
[16:47] <NeoGeo64> the beauty of linux is that you dont have to upgrade if you dont want to
[16:47] <leftyfb> vaibhav: what error do you get?
[16:48] <bazhang> vaibhav, back up and fresh install
[16:48] <DRebellion> vaibhav, download the 8.04 cd from ubuntu.com and install
[16:48] <xidryck> leftyfb> not yet
[16:48] <vaibhav> ok
[16:48] <vaibhav> i am thinking of installing debian
[16:48] <xidryck> leftyfb> maybe later. ill set up a firewall for now
[16:48] <vaibhav> fed up of this
[16:48] <vaibhav> ubuntu
[16:48] <vaibhav> 5.10
[16:48] <bazhang> #debian for that vaibhav
[16:48] <xidryck> vaibhav> what is devian?
[16:48] <phillipedison189> debian is harder to install..
[16:49] <vaibhav> oh
[16:49] <leftyfb> xidryck: is this ubuntu machine a laptop or desktop?
[16:49] <Raheem> vaibhav, u r free to install what u want ..
[16:49] <DRebellion> vaibhav, you're using a release that's nearly 3 years old. The latest one is *much* improved.
[16:49] <vaibhav> yeah
[16:49] <xidryck> leftyfb> laptop
[16:49] <vaibhav> ok
[16:49] <vaibhav> i will upgrade
[16:49] <leftyfb> phillipedison189: debian is not harder to install than ubuntu? It's almost exactly the same installation (txt)
[16:49] <xidryck> leftyfb> toshiba satellite
[16:49] <Darkchef> sudowman : this conf file doesnt help at all
[16:50] <phillipedison189> ah, have things changed since I tried to install sarge?...
[16:50] <DRebellion> phillipedison189, this is #ubuntu not #debian
[16:50] <DRebellion> oh, right, earlier message
[16:50] <DRebellion> ;)
[16:51] <carl> For those of you who work in the IT Department of your respective companies, I was wondering what software you use to manage your hardware(whats in each machine/etc)?
[16:51] <regeya> manage?  bwahahahaha
[16:52]  * regeya notes that at his office, it's it management via anarchy
[16:52] <gregory> hello! anyone can help me installing PROSAVAGE DDR videocard driver??? thx
[16:52] <carl> lol, ya that is how it is currently here.. I am attempting to straighten it all out
[16:52] <regeya> basically the unofficial official policy is that people get to do whatever they want, and they yell at me when their computers stop working.  any attempts on my part to rein that in are met with "b-b-but you're giving him too much power!!!"
[16:53] <Armored_Azrae1> carl: Not an IT dept, but for our cluster, we have different machine "classes" organized by hardware, with a set of mac addresses per class. This allows us to control each class of machines separately. The closest thing we use to an accounting system for them though is the records of what MAC addresses are currently on the control lists for each of them, and location queries over SNMP (etc controlled by cfengine).
[16:53] <regeya> I'm tempted (since it's a mac shop) to use radmind, but I don't know how well that owuld work with newer machines
[16:54] <Sudowman> Darkchef: its where you can put limits on how much users are using the cpu, I thought that's what you wanted
[16:54] <Armored_Azrae1> carl: Data is kept in python pickles at the moment, as management of these machines is infrequent.  Not particularly robust if you have many different kinds of systems (i.e. if most systems would be a different class) but in our environment, and many others, people have only 5 or 6 kinds of computers, and just mass numbers of them.
[16:54] <regeya> and I have various things shared between machines I can "restore" via rsync, as well as rsync'ed "snapshots" (actually, hardlinked to conserve space) of our fileserver
[16:55] <regeya> read the manpage of rsync; iirc the script I have on the ubuntu box is about a dozen lines, most of it to name dirs and purge old copies
[16:56] <regeya> whoops, that last line, s/ubuntu/debian/
[16:56] <regeya> since it's a ppc machine and ubuntu doesn't acknowledge ppc machines anymore (hey, guys, there are still a lot of ppc machines out here)
[16:56] <jeffwheeler> I'm running two 20" Dell monitors powered by a Nvidia graphics card, one with DVI and one with, uh, whatever the old ones are called, hehe. I've never got them to work beyond a clone, so I always just turn one of them off.
[16:56] <gabunga> hi all
[16:57] <gabunga> i am trying to deinstall exim4 from my ubuntu
[16:57] <Thoku> Hi Jeffwheeler
[16:57] <jeffwheeler> The primary monitor just turned to almost solid black with random flashes, and said "Auto-Adjust in Progress." I can see the mouse clearly, but nothing else is visible at all.
[16:57] <gabunga> but got a lot of trouble
[16:58] <jeffwheeler> It no longer says Auto-Adjust in Progress (it only did for a few seconds), but still displays random flashing gray on top of the black screen.
[16:58] <Thoku> Jeffwheeler: If you enable xinerama in the nvidia gui options set up you can get both screens working. I have a 19" and a 15" set up working together
[16:58] <Dr_Willis> I normslly use twinview - and DISABLE xinerama.
[16:58] <Dr_Willis> and i use my 2 monitors as one wide desktop
[16:58] <jeffwheeler> Oh, I'm sorry; I'm insane. I'm running an ATI card.
[16:58] <gabunga> http://paste.ubuntu.com/29338/
[16:59] <xidryck> anyone knows how to  add a universe repository? so i can install firestarter
[16:59] <gabunga> hier is my paste
[16:59] <Dr_Willis> !repos
[16:59] <gabunga> Dr_willis do you mean me?
[16:59] <Thoku> jeffwheeler: ah ok.
[16:59] <fwaokda> How do i assing a dynamic ip address to a device that is appearing in my wireless notification applet?
[17:00] <Dr_Willis> gabunga,  no   - i got no idea what exim4 even is., :)
[17:00] <kevinO> does anyone have any idea why my login screen and desktop are running at different resolutions?
[17:00] <gabunga> :-(
[17:00] <bastid_raZor> Dr_Willis; i have the exact same setup.. i prefer it over xinerama.. twinview gives you a bit more working space
[17:00] <gabunga> i am just trying to remove it
[17:00] <hiptobecubic> kevinO, your xorg.conf is not correct
[17:00] <Dr_Willis> kevinO,  users can have their own custome res.
[17:00] <KenBW2> kevinO: good question - i've noticed that
[17:01] <KenBW2> Dr_Willis: i thought resolution was managed by xorg.conf - a system-wide config file?
[17:01] <kevinO> hiptobecubic, the resolution information is no longer held in xorg.conf
[17:01] <ingenieroariel> Hello everyone, I would like to know how to add a repository to my source.list, but only use it for an specific set of packages (5 or so)
[17:01] <ingenieroariel>  I have linux mint and would like to add some gis packages from debian lenny
[17:01] <ingenieroariel>  but just downloading the .deb's would not be so future proof
[17:01] <ingenieroariel>  and I don't want either to get lenny packages conflicting with mint packages (a custom vesion of ubuntu
[17:01] <Dr_Willis> !info xandr
[17:01] <FloodBot1> ingenieroariel: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[17:01] <Thoku> Dr_Willis: xinerama is better imo. You can pass the windows between the 2 screens which twinview doesn't let you do.
[17:01] <Dr_Willis> KenBW2,  tht defines what red.
[17:01] <hiptobecubic> kevinO, then why did changing my xorg.conf fix that problem for me
[17:01] <KenBW2> Dr_Willis: so what's the dofference?
[17:01] <kevinO> hiptobecubic, i have no idea, maybe you had gutsy then upgraded?
[17:01] <Dr_Willis> Thoku,  Huh? i drag my windows from one monitor to the 2nd all the time with twinview. Twinview works MUCH better for me then xinerama
[17:02] <hiptobecubic> kevinO, no. clean ubuntu 8.04 install
[17:02] <bastid_raZor> Thoku; you are wrong, i drag them all the time.
[17:02] <Dr_Willis> KenBW2,  the user can pick what res he wants, from the allowed res;s
[17:02] <gregory> hello! anyone can help me installing PROSAVAGE DDR videocard driver??? thx
[17:02] <KenBW2> Dr_Willis: ah
[17:02] <Thoku> Dr_Willis: I end up with 2 xsessions, 1 for each screen.
[17:02] <kevinO> Dr_Willis, I didnt mean i want my own custom res, i want them to be the same, how do i do that?
[17:02] <Dr_Willis> Thoku,  you have is set up tht way then. thats one way to do it.,
[17:02] <hiptobecubic> kevinO, i went under "screen" and got rid of all of the resolutions except the one i wanted on my desktop and that forced the login screen to take it as well
[17:03] <Dr_Willis> kevinO,  no idea. could define only ONe rex i xorg.conf i guess.
[17:03] <ingenieroariel> How do  I add an entry to sources.list that is only used for a smallset of packages (i.e. a couple of gis packages from debian lenny on a ubuntu 8.04 box)
[17:03] <hiptobecubic> because there were no other choices
[17:03] <KenBW2> Dr_Willis: so where's the config file for users' reses?
[17:03] <kevinO> hiptobecubic, i dont even have that section.
[17:03] <gabunga> HALLO ALL
[17:03] <Thoku> Dr_Willis: Ah ok
[17:03] <bazhang> ingenieroariel, mint?
[17:03] <ingenieroariel> yup
[17:03] <gabunga> please helo
[17:03] <Agion> hi, can anyone help me getting my flash work??
[17:03] <gabunga> i mean help
[17:03] <gabunga> http://paste.ubuntu.com/29338/
[17:03] <Dr_Willis> KenBW2,  kde and gnome both have a config tool for tht i thought. or you can use the various xrandr tools to set the res on the fly as a user.
[17:03] <bazhang> ingenieroariel, mint is not supported here
[17:03] <gabunga> i cannot remove exim4
[17:03] <ingenieroariel> In fact I want to do that on ubuntu jeos too
[17:03] <ingenieroariel> :D
[17:03] <Alan_M> is the guy with the theme problems here still that i was helping a few minutes ago?
[17:04] <hiptobecubic> kevinO, you don't have a section called 'Screen' ?
[17:04] <staj> help
[17:04] <KenBW2> Dr_Willis: yea but i assume theres a config file somewhere?
[17:04] <ingenieroariel> so I could try any suggestion there
[17:04] <Dr_Willis> KenBW2,  proberly is a setting somewhere.. of course.
[17:04] <Alan_M> if he's still here im sorry....my internet connection just died..and i couldnt get it back for a while.
[17:04] <kevinO> KenBW2, you are having the same problem as me? at the login screen the display is off to the left or right, an auto adjust on the monitor fixes it, but once you login, the display is off again
[17:05] <KenBW2> Dr_Willis: so is that the difference between Screens and Graphics and Screen Resolution config apps?
[17:05] <bazhang> ingenieroariel, what you want is apt-pinning; not for the faint of heart and highly unrecommended
[17:05] <staj> hi guys
[17:05] <staj> join endian efw please
[17:05] <bazhang> staj, dont spam
[17:05] <Alan_M> staj, please dont spam
[17:05] <staj> ok
[17:05] <staj> sorry
[17:05] <KenBW2> kevinO: no, just that the login screen is at 1024x768 and when i login its 1152x864
[17:05] <Dr_Willis> KenBW2,  i use the nvidia-0settings tool to set the system wide res, then the users can select their own using the other tools.
[17:05] <bazhang> !pinning
[17:05] <staj> i am need one channel firewall efw
[17:06] <staj> understand?
[17:06] <bazhang> ingenieroariel, ^^
[17:06] <KenBW2> Dr_Willis: ah. thanks :)
[17:06] <bazhang> staj, ufw?
[17:06] <staj> no, efw endian
[17:06] <ingenieroariel> oh, ok, it is only for 5 packages and I know they won't clash with the rest because no other one depends on them (i.e. django trunk version is gonna use them)
[17:06] <Zunde> bonjour
[17:06] <bazhang> check freenode channel list staj
[17:06] <Alan_M> !fr | Zunde
[17:06] <ingenieroariel> so do you have a pointer bazhang, (I am already googling :) )(
[17:07] <kevinO> hiptobecubic, here is my xorg.conf, as you can see I do have a screen section, but there are no vaules defined there anymore,

[17:07] <eshat> Hi all, gnome does no mount USB Sticks automatically, what am I doing wrong ?
[17:07] <KenBW2> eshat: try adding them to fstab
[17:07] <bazhang> ingenieroariel, also ditch mint and get the real deal www.ubuntu.com
[17:07] <ingenieroariel> oh,
[17:07] <regeya> oh no no no
[17:08] <eshat> KenBW2: that's what I do NOT want to do
[17:08] <Zunde> anybody knows something which could allow me to have differents wallpaper for each desktop ?
[17:08] <spx2> given a URL under which there is a file is it possible to find out the size of the file without actually downloading the file ?

[17:08] <KenBW2> eshat: why not?
[17:08] <regeya> eshat...I'm sorry I don't remember off the top of my hed, but somewhere in settings is settings for the gnome volume manager...maybe removable media?
[17:08] <Agion> ﻿hi, can anyone help me getting my flash work??
[17:08] <Dr_Willis> Zunde,  not doable under gnome I belive... other desktops/windowmanagers can have tht feature.
[17:08] <Raheem> ingenieroariel, well, in my opinion, mint is nothing but Ubuntu, with some apps pre-installed .. you can always get them in ubuntu though
[17:08] <KenBW2> Agion: whats the problem with it
[17:08] <adaead>  [ U y a r ý ]  :  KenBW2  : Lütfen Seviyeyi Düþürmeyiniz Aksi Taktirde Kanaldan Uzaklaþtýrýlýcaksýnýz !.
[17:09] <bazhang> adaead, english please
[17:09] <eshat> KenBW2: is it solved that waz by default ?

[17:09] <ingenieroariel> haha, I really like having the commodity of (apt update, apt search stuff and apt install stuff) plus the nice start menu
[17:09] <eshat> *way
[17:09] <hiptobecubic> kevinO, well thtat's certainly interesting. Where ARE your resolution settings if they aren't in xorg.conf?
[17:09] <Armored_Azrae1> spx2: Usually, as long as the webserver hoasting it is configured correctly
[17:09] <adaead>  [ U y a r ý ]  :  Armored_Azrae1  : Lütfen Seviyeyi Düþürmeyiniz Aksi Taktirde Kanaldan Uzaklaþtýrýlýcaksýnýz !.

[17:09] <KenBW2> eshat: well im not completely sure, but thats how i do it
[17:09] <regeya> KenBW2: modern desktop systems have this remarkable ability (and have for 20+ years) of *automatically mounting inserted disks.*
[17:09] <kevinO> Dr_Willis, i dont ven think hardy is using the right video driver, i have an intel 945 but i have no restricted driver manager anymore, and if i do gksudo displayconfig-gtk and try to selet a driver there it wont let me.

[17:09] <KenBW2> regeya: i think he means at startup
[17:09] <kevinO> hiptobecubic, thats what i do not know
[17:09] <regeya> whee.
[17:09] <Alan_M> I have a problem myself, I have a ricoh 5 in 1 memory card reader....its not auto mounting...i tried to put in a memory card to the slot..and its not even recognizing that the card is there...suggestions?
[17:09] <ingenieroariel> I have tried a couple of times, to get ubuntu pimped up, but mint does a better job out of the box
[17:09] <Dr_Willis> kevinO,  the new  'auto configuring-minimal' X system now - have a very minimal xorg.conf :) and it can cause troubles.
[17:09] <ingenieroariel> I still use ubuntu server and ubuntu jeos
[17:09] <ingenieroariel> :D
[17:09] <eshat> anzone else knowing how ubuntu mounts USB Sticks automaticlly ???
[17:10] <leftyfb> Agion: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree --reinstall
[17:10] <bazhang> ingenieroariel, but that is offtopic here and not supported
[17:10] <KenBW2> eshat: what do you mean by automatically
[17:10] <Armored_Azrae1> eshat: As far as I can tell it watches the HAL.
[17:10] <Agion> ok, I'll try it
[17:10] <ingenieroariel> :P, thanks a lot bazhang for your pointer
[17:10] <regeya> eshat: is that what you mean?  at startup?  then yes, if you're using it at startup and just keep it plugged in, then yes, follow that advice; otherwise, hopefully someone sitting in front of their ubuntu box please tell eshat where to look
[17:10] <ingenieroariel> :D
[17:10] <bazhang> np
[17:10] <Armored_Azrae1> ﻿px2: Check the HTTP headers on the response to a request.
[17:10] <Dr_Willis> ingenieroariel,  im using mint on a lot of mahines also.. :)  I just keep quiet about it. :P
[17:10] <ingenieroariel> shh
[17:11] <regeya> KenBW2: on my home machine, here's the steps I go to mount a USB disk:  1.) plug it in.  2.) wait
[17:11] <Sinnerman> hi. im using cryptkeeper and encfs. is it possible to get encfs to default to AES whilst using cryptkeeper?
[17:11] <eshat> Armored_Azrae1: I restarted hal, no success
[17:11] <hiptobecubic> what exactly is the idea behind mint? just prettier?
[17:11] <KenBW2> regeya: what if he/she wants it mounted at boot?
[17:11] <Alan_M> !ot | hiptobecubic
[17:11] <Armored_Azrae1> eshat: Plug it in, check dmesg
[17:11] <Dr_Willis> hiptobecubic,  it has some packags installed/setup by default that ubuntu cant/wont do. Check homepage for more
[17:11] <Armored_Azrae1> (see if there's a plug event registered on udev)
[17:11]  * ingenieroariel sits quiet with a tiny smile and a guilty look
[17:11] <Agion> KenBW2: the problem is that it flashes black in like 3-5 times a sec....
[17:11] <kevinO> ok, so where can i find some normal screen resolution values to put in my xorg.conf.
[17:12] <eshat> Armored_Azrae1: dmesg find's the device and there are no problems
[17:12] <bazhang> lets take mint chat to #ubuntu-offtopic please
[17:12] <regeya> KenBW2: hey eshat, are you wanting it to mount at boot?  if so, follow KenBW2's advice, otherwise...
[17:12] <KenBW2> regeya: oh yea
[17:12] <hiptobecubic> kevinO, have you tried using nvidia-settings?
[17:12] <kevinO> hiptobecubic, i dont have a nvidia chipset or video card
[17:12] <Armored_Azrae1> eshat: Sorry then--I know about udev, and that HAL triggers the plug, but that's about it :(
[17:12] <hiptobecubic> kevinO, what do you use?
[17:13] <regeya> KenBW2: if I want to mount a disk at boot, then absolutely, I'll ad the filesystem's uuid to fstab.  but I don't make a habit of it on removable media, because it's removable
[17:13] <gregory> hello! anyone can help me installing/configuring PROSAVAGE DDR videocard driver??? thx

[17:13] <regeya> KenBW2: and therefore hal and gnome-volume-manager just handle it :->
[17:13] <bazhang> alicev, native linux or via wine
[17:13] <eshat> Armored_Azrae1: ahhh It works, just had to restart udev, thanks a lot
[17:13] <alicev> wine
[17:13] <kevinO> my mainboard is an intel d945gclf
[17:13] <duallain> I have a ubuntu computer setup to serve some webpages with apache/mysql/php and the like.  It's working fine, but to access it I type in http://192.168.1.104, is there a way to make it so I type in http://blacksun or something to get to it instead?  (I can't figure out how to search for how to do it, a tutorial or a few search terms would be great)
[17:14] <regeya> if you like that behavior and don't use gnome/kde, ivman work fine in that regard as well
[17:14] <alicev> i hav wine
[17:14] <bazhang> alicev, check appdb and #winehq
[17:14] <hiptobecubic> kevinO, perhaps something like this will give you somwhere to start from? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=670645
[17:14] <bazhang> !appdb | alicev
[17:14] <Alan_M> dullain you can edit /etc/hosts file to point 182.168.1.104 to http://blacksun :)
[17:14] <FibonacciGold> duallain: You want to edit the file located at /etc/hosts
[17:14] <alicev> tx
[17:15] <alicev> bazhang,  thanks
[17:15] <bazhang> np
[17:15] <fwaokda> is there anyway to have a terminal window embedded into my desktop?
[17:16] <kevinO> hiptobecubic, nope that doesnt work either, i have even tried to deleteing the xorg file altogether then regenerating it with dexconf.
[17:16] <Dr_Willis> fwaokda,  theres some tricks to do that. Or thers some Hit F12 and have one popdown tools also.
[17:16] <FibonacciGold> fwaokda: You could try something like yakuake
[17:16] <kevinO> kevinO, but it just does the auto value crap
[17:16] <hiptobecubic> kevinO, i'm afraid we're beyond my scope of knowledge here
[17:16] <kevinO> i need to manually enter in all of the available screeens i guess
[17:16] <fwaokda> FibonacciGold, thanks
[17:17] <kevinO> can i see someones xorg, a relatively normal one?
[17:17] <bazhang> fwaokda, for gnome see tilda
[17:17] <KenBW2> Does anyone know of a Terminal type thing you can have in the gnome-panel?
[17:17] <fwaokda> bazhang, i was using tilda but i want one that continually runs on my desktop below all other windows
[17:17] <Sina> I have a Nvidia GeForce Go 8600M GT graphic card and I can't install the driver properly, does anyone know what should I do?
[17:17] <gangsterlicious> i did a debootsrap and i dont' have "man" command. which pkg contains that?
[17:18] <bazhang> yakuake is kde fwaokda similar to tilda
[17:18] <hiptobecubic> fwaokda, if you hot-key the terminal to something easy to do you might be alright not having it embedded. you'd have to minimize windows to get to it anyway. I use alt-gr+space to open a terminal window and i don't even have to move my hands from the homerow
[17:18] <Dr_Willis> KenBW2,  clarify tht a bit? :)  Theres lots of panel applets in the repos not installed by default, and at gnome-look.org
[17:18] <ShinjinAkage> I need a program for virtual cd's and dvd's so I can run a .bin file without burning. Can anyone suggest one?
[17:18] <Dr_Willis> ShinjinAkage,  'run' as in run a game with wine from it?
[17:18] <KenBW2> Dr_Willis: something that i can type quick commands into without loading up a Terminal
[17:19] <Sina> @ ShinjinAkage use fuseiso
[17:19] <ShinjinAkage> Dr_Willis: Run as in install a program.
[17:19] <Dr_Willis> KenBW2,  dont like alt-f2 eh?
[17:19] <Sina> ﻿I have a Nvidia GeForce Go 8600M GT graphic card and I can't install the driver properly, does anyone know what should I do?
[17:19] <dml> what
[17:19] <ShinjinAkage> Sina: Thanks
[17:19] <Dr_Willis> ShinjinAkage,  a linux app? the fuseiso tool can mount bin and other formats i hear. but dont expect any game/copy protectiion suff to worrk. If its for a game
[17:19] <KenBW2> Dr_Willis: i know but it seems a waste for just cp /home/kenneth/file /home/kenneth/file.bak or whatever
[17:20] <duallain> After I change /etc/hosts do I need to restart anything?  And how do I do that?
[17:20] <Dr_Willis> KenBW2,  i alwas have a few terms open. :) so its never a issue for me
[17:20] <puller> lost wifi manager from top right on gnome bar in ubuntu how can i get it back?
[17:20] <Alan_M> dullain i would suggest you do so, log out and back in, and it all should be fixed.
[17:20] <KenBW2> Dr_Willis: yea but theyre inevitable doing something at the time
[17:20] <Nacht> Hello, I'm new to using Ubuntu, and I'm attempting to install my wireless internet adapter.  The problem is that I can't seem to get Ubuntu to run the CD normally as opposed to opening a folder with all its files
[17:21] <Nacht> I'm somewhat confused as to how to correct this issue, or what I am supposed to do form there
[17:21] <thorny_sun> help!! pleeeze!!  ﻿so i added my user to a new group using 'usermod -G newgroup', only that dropped all my other groups (didn't realize that), including the one that lets me have sudo access- and now i have no way to do anything that requires root access..  how do i get it back?
[17:21] <KenBW2> Nacht: the CD you have will be for Windows only
[17:21] <Nacht> II see
[17:21] <VileTimes> Nacht: Keep that CD handy. You might need it for ndiswrapper.
[17:21] <Nacht> Well, thank you KenBW2
[17:21] <KenBW2> Nacht: you can use ndiswrapper to run Windows drivers though
[17:22] <eie> hi
[17:22] <eie> any good site to learn ubuntu
[17:22] <Nacht> Ah, where do I get that?
[17:22] <KenBW2> Nacht: are you familiar with how to install things in ubuntu?
[17:22] <Nacht> No, this is my first time using Ubuntu
[17:23] <bazhang> !docs | eie
[17:23] <Nacht> I've been unable to procure a copy of a Windows OS, so a friend reccomended I try Ubuntu
[17:23] <jatt> big bang software development
[17:23] <KenBW2> Nacht: Welcome to Ubuntu :) the GUI way is to go to Applications > Add/Remove... > type in ndiswrapper and tick the box. Then click Apply at the bottom
[17:23] <eie> bazhang: thanks
[17:23] <Sudowman> thorny_sun: hehe  try passing  init=/bin/bash  as boot params to the kernel
[17:23] <VileTimes> Nacht: You can do a search of ndiswrapper-gtk and install it with a quick sudo aptitude install <package-name>
[17:24] <Nacht> Do I need to be connected to the internet to do that though?
[17:24] <TtyS2> where can i find my trashcan
[17:24] <KenBW2> Nacht: oh yea, that might help
[17:24] <puller> lost wifi manager from top right on gnome bar in ubuntu how can i get it back?
[17:24] <Nacht> That's the problem
[17:24] <VileTimes> Yes, unfortunately. It's the old, annoying catch 22.
[17:24] <bazhang> !trash | TtyS2
[17:24] <KenBW2> Nacht: do you know anyone else who uses Ubuntu?
[17:25] <thorny_sun> Sudowman: what do you mean exactly-- i'm still a noob
[17:25] <Nacht> I can't connect to the internet on that computer without installing the router, which I need to connect to the internet
[17:25] <TtyS2> thanks
[17:25] <Nacht> Yes, but he's out of town for the next week
[17:25] <KenBW2> Nacht: ah
[17:25] <KenBW2> Nacht: do you have access to the internet at all?
[17:25] <KenBW2> Nacht: on any PC?
[17:25] <VileTimes> Do you have a usb key handy? You could download all of the necessary .deb files and install with dpkg
[17:25] <Nacht> Is there a place I could get the files to burn to a disk and open on my computer?
[17:25] <Nacht> Not on that computer
[17:26] <Nacht> On my laptop I have internet accss
[17:26] <bazhang> packages.ubuntu.com
[17:26] <Nacht> I have a usb drive
[17:26] <Sudowman> thorny_sun: when you boot up, do you have a grub screen that gives you the option of changing the parameters to the kernel before booting, or does it boot straight into ubuntu ?
[17:26] <KenBW2> Nacht: right, go to System > Administration > Synaptic Package Manager
[17:26] <thorny_sun> Sudowman: i do have a grub screen
[17:26] <KenBW2> Nacht: please prepend the message with the username of the person youre talking to
[17:26] <VileTimes> Nacht: Download the .deb files you need and install them from the console by typing: sudo dpkg -i <package-name>.deb
[17:27] <puller> lost wifi manager from top right on gnome bar in ubuntu how can i get it back?
[17:27] <thorny_sun> Sudowman: what will init=/bin/bash do? and how do i "pass" that as a paramter
[17:27] <kevinO> Dr_Willis, do you know where the login screen gets its res info from (if not on auto) was it xorg.conf?
[17:27] <SebNaitsabes> puller:  right click and then add to panel
[17:27] <yassine_> Hello
[17:27] <kevinO> Hi
[17:27] <Nacht> KenBW2 - Alright
[17:27] <KenBW2> go to erm
[17:27] <fwaokda> I'm trying to sync my phone with evolution.  I was told I need to give it an ip address/set it up as a network interface.  Does anyone know how to do this?
[17:27] <yassine_> Please,how do i install Skype for Ubuntu ?
[17:28] <KenBW2> Nacht: just a sec, ill boot up my ubuntu machine
[17:28] <bazhang> !skype | yassine_
[17:28] <puller> SebNaitsabes: but i dont know what to add
[17:28] <kevinO> fwaokda, you using bluetooth?
[17:28] <fwaokda> kevinO, nah its through usb
[17:28] <VileTimes> yassine: You need to go to Skype's site and install the .deb file they provide.
[17:28] <SebNaitsabes> yassine_:  I got a nice tutorial that covers insatlling Skype,  it's for Kubuntu, but  you can figure out from that for Ubuntu :)
[17:28] <kevinO> fwaokda, are you able to set an ip address on your phone?
[17:28] <Sudowman> thorny_sun: you should be able to press a letter ( I think it is e ) to edit the params. Add init=/bin/bash to the line with the kernel, and it should boot into a root shell
[17:28] <fwaokda> kevinO, idk
[17:28] <yassine_> .dec work like .exe under linux ?
[17:29] <gangsterlicious> !!
[17:29] <Sudowman> thorny_sun: if it doesn't work there are other ways to get in so dont worry
[17:29] <kevinO> fwa type of phone please
[17:29] <fwaokda> kevinO, its showing up in the list of network adapters when i click on my wireless applet atm
[17:29] <thorny_sun> Sudowman: do all these methods require me remembering my root password?
[17:29] <bazhang> yassine_, somewhat analogous
[17:29] <fwaokda> kevinO, HTC Touch/Elf
[17:29] <SebNaitsabes> yassine_:  yes DEB is like instead of .exe or .msi
 alright thanks
[17:29] <yassine_> :)
[17:29] <Sudowman> thorny_sun: no, you dont need your passwd if you have physical access to the machine
[17:30] <jadams__> I'm having problems with pidgin.  It will frequently minimize itself and get bogged down (right now the window's greyed out, thinking).  I'm running a quad core system with 3G ram and no usage, so I don't know why it's hanging up
[17:30] <thorny_sun> Sudowman: ok-- good-- cuz i don't remember it
[17:30] <jadams__> but this happens a lot
[17:30] <thorny_sun> Sudowman: i'll try it-- see ya back here in a bit
[17:30] <KenBW2> Nacht: ok, go to File > Generate package download script
[17:30] <puller> lost wifi manager from top right on gnome bar in ubuntu how can i get it back?
[17:30] <level09> i've just installed lamp, where can I find my *actual* php files ?
[17:31] <KenBW2> Nacht: and save it to somewhere
[17:31] <KenBW2> level09: /var/www/
[17:31] <SebNaitsabes> yassine_:  http://www.howtoforge.com/the-perfect-desktop-kubuntu-8.04-lts  later on Skype is done
[17:31] <level09> thanks
[17:31] <kevinO> fwaokda, you probably can set  the ip address on the htc, being that its showing up in your network adapters, its probably got a dhcp ip address already.
[17:31] <th0r> jadams__, are you sure it is pidgin...maybe your connection is failing and pidgin goes offline, then has to reconnect to come back to life
[17:31] <jadams__> th0r, pidgin's window isn't drawing
[17:31] <jadams__> th0r, and my internet connection isn't dropping
[17:31] <kevinO> fwaokda, can you see the ip address assigned to the htc from your adapters menu?
 It's ok i'm downloadinf it thanks
[17:31] <yassine_> :)
[17:32] <puller> i lost my wifi can somone help me get it back online?
[17:32] <fwaokda> kevinO, how do i do that?
[17:32] <Nacht> KenBW2 - Alright
[17:32] <level09> KenBW2: its not here :( , any other places to look for ?
[17:32] <SebNaitsabes> yassine_: ,but sure come to think of it it should just be download the DEB and install
[17:32] <kevinO> fwaokda, you said you can see the htc listed in your adapters right?
[17:32] <KenBW2> Nacht: if you know someone else with a working internet connection on Linux then you can use that easily
[17:32] <fwaokda> kevinO, yes
[17:32] <SebNaitsabes> yassine_:  I know of another program that may be better than Skype for you
[17:32] <KenBW2> Nacht: can you not plug your Ubuntu PC into ethernet?
[17:32] <banjo> spoiler from irc.trollin.org #arab: Batman is portrayed early in the movie as a nutcase and is saught to be arrested.

 what is it ?
[17:33] <KenBW2> Nacht: do that then :)

[17:33] <Nacht> KenBW2 - You asked if I cannot plug it in
[17:33] <level09> KenBW2: yes

[17:34] <KenBW2> level09: then you put your PHP files in there
[17:34] <KenBW2> Nacht: oh you mean it's not possible to plug it into ethernet?
[17:34] <Nacht> KenBW2 - Right
[17:34] <level09> KenBW2: no I mean, when I used apt-get to install php, where did that install the files ?
[17:34] <SebNaitsabes> yassine_:  ,but my parants used in Windows, but now this phone goes straight into the net without needing PC on.  anyway  http://www.voipcheap.com/en/index.html
[17:34] <fwaokda> kevinO, i see it listed in 'ifconifg'
[17:34] <KenBW2> level09: which files?
[17:35] <level09> I mean the location of actual PHP package
[17:35] <kevinO> fwaokda, you see the vendor name of the phone in if config?
[17:35] <fwaokda> kevinO, this is listed - 'inet addr:169.254.2.2  Bcast:169.254.2.255  Mask:255.255.255.0'
[17:35] <KenBW2> Nacht: right, in that script you just saved it should have something like "wget /location/of/file" ok?
[17:35] <KenBW2> level09: oh right, erm
[17:35] <kevinO> fwaokda, is that eth0?
[17:36] <fwaokda> kevinO, no but i was told if I do this... ' /sbin/ifconfig -a | grep 80:00:60:0f:e8:00  | cut -d " " -f 1' that it would tell me which one it was
[17:36] <fwaokda> kevinO, no eth0 is another
[17:36] <Nacht> KenBW2 - How do I open that to see?

[17:36] <sns> I am using KDE and I want to make it so that the screen doesn't turn off at idling, so that screensaver always is on. How can this be acheived?
[17:36] <KenBW2> Nacht: in a text editor
[17:36] <level09> KenBW2: thansk :)
[17:37] <thorny_sun> Sudowman: I tried it-- my grub bootup had four lines-- i put "init=/bin/bash" on the fifth line, but booting up i didn't notice anything different, and it seems i still have the same problem-- did i do it right?
[17:37] <kevinO> fwaokda, that command is beyond my scope, nut it looks like it will tell you something, try it :)
[17:37] <Raheem> SebNaitsabes, did u try this http://www.intervoip.com ? they have the best deal on net. . can be configured using ekiga
 Nooo im under ubuntu not debian
[17:37] <fwaokda> kevinO, haha i already did try it :P thats what told me it was eth1
[17:37] <SebNaitsabes> Raheem:  nope didn't know about that one,  and I don't use this kind of thing personalley
[17:37] <Nacht> KenBW2 - All it's displaying is #!/bin/sh
[17:37] <kevinO> fwaokda, im just trying to make sure your htc is actually being recognized
[17:37] <SebNaitsabes> x_hunter: did I message you no?  so what are you refering to?
[17:37] <kevinO> ok so its eth1
[17:38] <pmmadog> hi were would you enter a splash screen aplication ?
[17:38] <KenBW2> Nacht: oh. you might have it installed alr... oh i know why
[17:38] <KenBW2> Nacht: go back to Synaptic
[17:38] <fwaokda> I have the network monitor up and its sending packets but not recieving from eth1
[17:38] <Nacht> Ok
 im yassine
[17:38] <Nece228> how about ati opensource driver?
[17:38] <Nacht> KenBW2 - Alright
[17:38] <kevinO> fwaokda, the ip address that eth1 lists, is that on the same subnet as your other devices?
[17:38] <Nece228> does it supports opengl and compiz?
[17:38] <Innopeor> Hi, someone know if exist a valid alternative to GtkRadiant that runs natively (no wine, crossover or cedega) on Linux?
[17:39] <sns> I am using KDE and I want to make it so that the screen doesn't turn off at idling, so that screensaver always is on. How can this be acheived? I am having two users and I wonder which one controls these settings
[17:39] <KenBW2> Nacht: search for "ndisgtk" and tick to install that
[17:39] <SebNaitsabes> x_hunter: oh another name
[17:39] <Sudowman> thorny_sun: I think your meant to put it on the line with the kernel, so you should have a line that looks something like this:  kernel   /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.25-2-686 root=/dev/hdb1 ro vga=795  init=/bin/bash
[17:39] <SebNaitsabes> x_hunter: well did you see both links?
[17:39] <fwaokda> kevinO, yes
[17:39] <x_hunter> nop
[17:39] <thorny_sun> Sudowman: oh-- ok-- i'll try that
[17:39] <Raheem> sns, power saving options
[17:39] <KenBW2> Nacht: click the tick box next to it > Mark for installation
[17:39] <x_hunter> only the first link
[17:39] <Nacht> KenBW2 - Nothing is turning up

[17:40] <KenBW2> Nacht: oh yea, thats right it wont without internet
[17:40] <KenBW2> hmmm
[17:40] <SebNaitsabes> x_hunter:  [17:37] <Raheem> SebNaitsabes, did u try this http://www.intervoip.com ? they have the best deal on net. . can be configured using ekiga
[17:40] <Nacht> KenBW2 - I seem to be trapped in the loop of needing the internet to get the internet

[17:40] <KenBW2> Nacht: i have another idea
[17:40] <Dr_Willis> Nacht,  that a problem when using wireless only.

[17:46] <kevinO> fwaokda, what settings did you use?
[17:46] <KenBW2> Nacht: these are for my PC which is in the UK, and is 32-bit. the UK bit shouldn't matter, but the 32-bit part might
[17:46] <Raheem> yup.. the voice is good
[17:46] <arvind_khadri> iratsu, yup ..use the manual method
[17:46] <SebNaitsabes> Raheem: seems like voipcheap to me though
[17:46] <SebNaitsabes> Raheem: my Dad would probably be interestd in that to though
[17:46] <thorny_sun> Sudowman: ok-- that just caused the bootup to hang-- had to force computer off and then on to get back here
[17:46] <Raheem> SebNaitsabes, depends on the country u want to call
[17:46] <fwaokda> kevinO, a bunch i think that option is only for palm devices... something else just happened now i have a eth1:avahi listed in ifconfig too
[17:46] <KenBW2> Nacht: are you ok with that?
[17:47] <iratsu> arvind_khadri: it won't clear the partition if i do manual? what if i want to do LVM?
[17:47] <SebNaitsabes> Raheem: Sweden
[17:47] <timboy> i'm having an interesting issue: I logged in today and my LAN ip was getting dhcp instead of static even though I have it set for static! this is relevent info from syslog http://pastebin.ca/1079625
[17:47] <arvind_khadri> !lvm | iratsu
[17:47] <Sudowman> thorny_sun: ah, ok. Do you have the ubuntu live cd you used to install?
[17:47] <mrts> are there python 2.6 beta debs for ubuntu somewhere?
[17:47] <thorny_sun> Sudowman: yes-- somewhere-- i'll find it
[17:47] <Raheem> SebNaitsabes, i guess for sweden, u can have free calls using some other services .. but, the point i wanted to make was, they have sip service, which can be configured using Ekiga ..that's all
[17:47] <Nacht> KenBW2 - I should be
[17:48] <SebNaitsabes> Raheem: voipcheap is free for Sweden :)
[17:48] <arvind_khadri> mrts, ask #ubuntu-motu mean while aptitude search it
[17:48] <Raheem> :)
[17:48] <Konichiwa> hi
[17:48] <KenBW2> Nacht: download them on a PC with a nt connection, then transfer them to your Ubuntu machine. Then double click each one in turn
[17:48] <arvind_khadri> !hi | Konichiwa
[17:48] <thorny_sun> Sudowman: got it
[17:48] <abhi_> in "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu hardy partner" what does it mean by partner . is it safe to add this repo.
[17:48] <Konichiwa> was mach ich wenn "plugin fehler" dasteht
[17:48] <Alejandrito> Hi
[17:48] <thorny_sun> Sudowman: Ubuntu 8.04 LTS Desktop 32bit-- Hardy Heron
[17:49] <KenBW2> Konichiwa: dies ist ein Englishsprachige Kanal. Bitte benutzen Sie #ubuntu-de
[17:49] <arvind_khadri> abhi_, that refers to official ubuntu partners site.. its safe
[17:49] <VileTimes> Mein schleim ist schwartz und klebrig.
[17:49] <SebNaitsabes> !de
[17:49] <Sudowman> thorny_sun: boot into that. From there you will be able to chroot into your ubuntu installation and change the passwd, or you could manually edit out root's passwd. The install cd will have an irc client so you can some here for help on that
[17:50] <abhi_> arvind_khadri, : ok
[17:50] <kevinO> fwaokda, its not looking good for you right now look at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4653154, im not saying its impossible, just that there may not be full support for your htc yet
[17:50] <Raheem> SebNaitsabes, http://www.voipcheap.com/en/sipp.html they also have sip service .. good news .thank you
[17:50] <fwaokda> kevinO, http://www.synce.org/moin/SynceWithUbuntu
[17:50] <kevinO> does any one know where the login screen gets its res info from (if not on auto) was it xorg.conf?
[17:50] <thorny_sun> Sudowman: ok-- be back here in a bit..
[17:50] <SebNaitsabes> Raheem:  sip whatever that is, but meaning it will work with Ekiga?
[17:50] <Raheem> yup..
[17:50] <jlewis> Can someone help me please? I have a CD full of essays that I have burned onto a disk for backup. Now, with my fresh install of Ubuntu, when I try and access the folder a icon of a lock appears and I cant save anything in that folder. How do i remove the lock from the files?
[17:51] <arvind_khadri> kevinO, its from xorg.conf
[17:51] <SebNaitsabes> Raheem: shame these things are propritary though, but there we go
[17:51] <KenBW2> jlewis: CDs ae read-only
[17:51] <kevinO> fwaokda, have you tried that program?
[17:51] <Dr_Willis> kevinO,  the way i understand it - it checks xorg.conf, it also querrys the card and monitor . and gets what res's the card and monitor can handle.
[17:51] <Raheem> SebNaitsabes, we can't force ppl to give us what we want . but, we can always find a way through, though
[17:51] <cr0w_> hi
[17:51] <timboy> i'm having an interesting issue: I logged in today and my LAN ip was getting dhcp instead of static even though I have it set for static! this is relevent info from syslog http://pastebin.ca/1079630
[17:52] <SebNaitsabes> Raheem: yep in many cases
[17:52] <SebNaitsabes> Raheem: with computer
[17:52] <falstaff> I found a bug in ubuntu and i belive it belongs to compiz-fusion: When i play poker with pokerstars (with wine), the table-window pop up when i have to play something. So I do other things while i play. BUT when i go to another desktop, the window doesnt pop up, it disapears! Completly, so i have to restart the game... Is this a compiz thing or a wine bug?
[17:52] <Raheem> :)
[17:52] <jlewis> KenBW2: Yes, but I have transfered the contents of the CD to my HD. They are all still locked. Thoughts?
[17:52] <arvind_khadri> !bug | falstaff
[17:52] <kevinO> Dr_Willis, do you think that entering in all the res info like the old way will help?
[17:52] <Zyna> Hi folks, I got myself the U50SI1 Notebook and waited over three weeks till it arrived... now it's here and I am having bigtime trouble getting the ubuntu install cd to boot... I tried several bootoptions such as pci=noacpi and noacpi some sequences bring me a bit further past previous errors, but I cannot get it to boot in any way... could someone help please?
[17:52] <SebNaitsabes> falstaff: could be try the game when Compiz is not on
[17:52] <Odd-rationale> jlewis: change the permissions...
[17:52] <KenBW2> jlewis: ah i see
[17:52] <Dr_Willis> kevinO,  thats one way to do it I guess.
[17:53] <jlewis> KenBW2; how do i change the permissions?
[17:53] <cr0w_> exist a program in order to protect a folder with a password ?!
[17:53] <CanOfRats> hi all..is there an instant messenger for linux that lets u share photos?
[17:53] <Odd-rationale> jlewis: what directory is the locked folder in?
[17:53] <CanOfRats> hi all..is there an instant messenger for linux that lets u share photos?
[17:53] <VileTimes> Zyna: have you tried another distro like DamnSmallLinux yet?
[17:53] <nico_> i want to see my chromosomic chart, how much and where can i take it ?
[17:53] <Dr_Willis> !im | CanOfRats
[17:53] <SebNaitsabes> CanOfRats:  no don't think so, but you can send photos through IM networks in Pidgin and what not of course
[17:53] <kevinO> Dr_Willis, if it then probes the card and monitor and uses those values ill be sol?
[17:53] <falstaff> SebNaitsabes, yes i did this
[17:53] <arvind_khadri> falstaff, first see the logs for any crash report
[17:53] <cr0w_> exist a program in order to protect a folder with a password ?!
[17:53] <falstaff> sebastien, Pop up doesnt works without compiz
[17:53] <fwaokda> kevinO, yup
[17:54] <SebNaitsabes> falstaff:  Compiz shoudn't need to be used for anything to do with Wine
[17:54] <kevinO> fwaokda, how did it work
[17:54] <fwaokda> kevinO, im stuck at a point in the instructions as detailed here -- http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5435658#post5435658
[17:54] <Odd-rationale> jlewis: what folder is the locked folder in?
[17:54] <SebNaitsabes> falstaff:  interesting to some extent issue, but it's not really Ubuntu so  try #winehq
[17:54] <VileTimes> Zyna: I had an old laptop that didn't like the Ubuntu install CD either. I eventually installed Ubuntu server, and eventually turfed that in favour of Crux Linux
[17:54] <cr0w_> exist a program in order to protect a folder with a password ?!
[17:54] <jlewis> Odd-rationale; it is in my Home folder under my username.
[17:54] <falstaff> arvind_khadri, the game doesnt crash... compiz also not. The game has multiply window, but only the "poping" window disapears
[17:54] <Zyna> VileTimes, no, you think that would help getting ubuntu unstalled?
[17:54] <snmpee_> Dr_Willis bitlbee is an interesting IM app as well, it uses irc to interface with all those IM networks
[17:54] <Abed> problem with my bluetooth adapter { it isn't enabled}
[17:55] <Odd-rationale> jlewis: ok. pastebin the output of "ls -l ~"
[17:55] <arvind_khadri> falstaff, hmm not sure ask #compiz-fusion
[17:55] <Dr_Willis> kevinO,  try it and see.. i guess
[17:55] <arvind_khadri> !bluetooth  | Abed
[17:55] <VileTimes> Zyna: It might help you narrow down the problem. If your machine can boot up DSL, then it doesn't like the Ubuntu spalsh screen.
[17:55] <nico_> where can i set mac addresse ?? in /etc/network/interfaces ? or in /etc/init.d/network ??
[17:55] <Abed> !bluetooth
[17:55] <Abed> yeah
 yop Skype installed ;)
[17:55] <fwaokda> kevinO, ahhh
[17:55] <snmpee_> somebody recommend a usb or pcmcia bluetooth card for my laptop please
[17:56] <Abed> arvind_khadri, yeah it is not enabled yet
[17:56] <SebNaitsabes> x_hunter:  you want to phone real phones? or just computers?
[17:56] <Zyna> VileTimes, I allready tried nosplash, didnt help
[17:56] <Odd-rationale> nico_: do sudo /etc/init.d/networking stop
[17:56] <kevinO> fwaokda, in those instructions at the bottom read "If you get an error that no devices are connected to odccm you should probably blacklist ipaq module, by adding
[17:56] <kevinO> blacklist ipaq
[17:56] <kevinO> "
[17:56] <ZeroOP_> hello folks
[17:56] <VileTimes> Zyna: At what point does your machine choke at?
[17:56] <ZeroOP_> anyone use VirtualBox?
[17:56] <Abed> hello ZeroOP_
[17:56] <SebNaitsabes> yes
[17:56] <Odd-rationale> nico_: then "sudo ifconfig eth0 hw ether 00:11:22:33:22:11"
[17:56] <SebNaitsabes> yep I use Virtualbox :)
[17:56] <jlewis> Odd-rationale: pastebin?
[17:56] <arvind_khadri> Abed, i have no idea about it.. ask again , someone who knows will help
[17:56] <nico_> Odd-rationale: i know how to change with ifconfig
[17:57] <ZeroOP_> can you help me with a problem i'm having seb?
[17:57] <shashi> I want sudo without password. i have followed the URL https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo . But it's not working with Ubuntu 8.08 64-bit. sudo still asking for password. What is the correct way to do this ?
[17:57] <nico_> but i want to set it "ever"
[17:57] <Wicks> snmpee_, out of interest (your name) ... you wouldnt happen to know how to add a new mib to snmp in ubuntu would you? o_0
[17:57] <nico_> even if i reboot
[17:57] <SebNaitsabes> ZeroOP:  maybe what's the problem?
[17:57] <fwaokda> kevinO, it's showing up again when i click on the wireless thing it has it listed at the top as... "wired network (High Tech Computer Corp. Generic RNDIS)"
[17:57] <fwaokda> kevinO, you get my last msgs? about the device showing up again
[17:57] <Odd-rationale> !pastebin | jlewis
[17:57] <Abed> problem with enabling bluetooth!
[17:57] <Raheem> ZeroOP_, just state ur prooblem  please
[17:57] <jlewis> Odd-rationale: how do i get pastebin?
[17:57] <Zyna> VileTimes, well, it depends on what options I use... when using pci=noacpi, it crashes while configuring the CD drive
[17:57] <kevinO> yeah, did you get my last message?
[17:57] <fwaokda> kevinO, btw i tried the blacklisting thing and that didn't work
[17:57] <kevinO> ahh
[17:57] <Odd-rationale> jlewis: follow the link ubottu gave you.
[17:57] <falstaff> SebNaitsabes, with compiz it works better for me (pop up is in this case really usefull...)
 Just computers
[17:57] <nico_> Odd-rationale: i wish set it for all boot
[17:58] <x_hunter> Thanks
[17:58] <kevinO> well its fits the problem tho, maybe your not doing it correctly?
[17:58] <ZeroOP_> "VirtualBox kernal driver is not installed. The vboxdrv kernel module......"
[17:58] <Odd-rationale> nico_: ok. let me get you link...
[17:58] <SebNaitsabes> x_hunter: Skype is fine for that then yeah
[17:58] <SebNaitsabes> falstaff:  what was it again some game?  and does it use 3D?
[17:58] <ZeroOP_> no, it's before first boot
[17:58] <falstaff> SebNaitsabes, Pokerstars, no 3d
[17:58] <ZeroOP_> oh
[17:58] <ZeroOP_> that wasn't to me
[17:58] <ZeroOP_> lol
[17:58] <KenBW2> jlewis: did you solve the permissions problem?
[17:59] <Odd-rationale> nico_: http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Transwiki:Changing_MAC_addresses
[17:59] <jlewis> Odd-rationale: http://paste.ubuntu.com/29349/
[17:59] <SebNaitsabes> falstaff:  try #winehq
[17:59] <jlewis> KenBW2: still working on it.
[17:59] <stylzP> ZeroOP_, did you compile a kernel modul while installing
[17:59] <nico_> Odd-rationale: thx a lot
[17:59] <Odd-rationale> jlewis: umm. what is the name of the locked folder?
[17:59] <ZeroOP_> i guess not, but i don't know how, i just used Add/Remove.
[17:59] <arooni> * 3 * * * /home/chasetoys/bin/opendns.sh .........  runs every minute at 3AM in the morning?  to run once every morning at 3AM:  0 3 * * * /home/chasetoys/bin/opendns.sh
[17:59] <ZeroOP_> if that didn't do it, I didn't do it.
[18:00] <digiwhite> Всем привет! :)
[18:00] <jlewis> It is "Free Reformed Stuff". But they are all locked it seems (all the ones from the CD burn).
[18:00] <kevinO> fwaokda, you added "blacklist ipaq" to your /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist and then did "sudo rmmod ipaq"   ?
[18:00] <KenBW2> jlewis: im not an expert on this, but i think the command you want is 'sudo chown -R yourusername:yourusername /location/of/folder'
[18:00] <stylzP> try reinstalling ;)
[18:00] <timboy> i'm having an interesting issue: I logged in today and my LAN ip was getting dhcp instead of static even though I have it set for static! this is relevent info from syslog http://pastebin.ca/1079630
[18:00] <Nece228> !ru | digiwhite
[18:00] <fwaokda> kevin0, yup... i can do it again while having the device selected in the network option... but if i try it its gonna lag me out here for awhile
[18:00] <jlewis> Odd-rationale: It is "Free Reformed Stuff". But they are all locked it seems (all the ones from the CD burn).
[18:01] <ZeroOP_> sudo apt-get install VirtualBox?
[18:01] <ZeroOP_> oh
[18:01] <ZeroOP_> reinstalling
[18:01] <digiwhite> oops, sorry :)
[18:01] <ZeroOP_> i already did.
[18:01] <Abed> !virtualbox
[18:01] <kevinO> fwaokda, that command i gave you shouldnt lag you out
[18:01] <KenBW2> ZeroOP_: ive heard youre best to get VB from the official site
[18:01] <SebNaitsabes> ZeroOP:  ok so you want virtualbox,  but what for?
[18:01] <ZeroSerenity> I know I have asked this question before but I forgot the command. What is the command to install the GUI component on the Server Distro?
[18:01] <Nece228> digiwhite: no problem we just inform you ;)
[18:01] <fwaokda> kevinO, no nvm its complicated im trying that again now
[18:01] <Odd-rationale> jlewis: ok. so do "chmod -R 755 Free Reformed Stuff"
[18:02] <ZeroOP_> i want to run windows inside of linux
[18:02] <digiwhite> Nece228: thanks :)
[18:02] <SebNaitsabes> ZerOP:  Windows XP inside Linux?
[18:02] <stylzP> ZeroOP_,  I took mine from sun/virtualbox and works fine
[18:02] <ZeroOP_> yeah.
[18:02] <KenBW2> ZeroSerenity: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[18:02] <nico_> virtual box is nice but some lack with usb hotplug
[18:02] <SebNaitsabes> ZeroOP:  do you need USB support?
[18:02] <CarlFK> from the command line, how can I tell if the box (laptop) is running on ac or battery?
[18:02] <ZeroOP_> yesh i would.
[18:02] <fwaokda> kevinO,  when i type the rmmod ipaq it gives me this... "ERROR: Module ipaq does not exist in /proc/modules"
[18:02] <thorny__sun> Sudowman: ok-- i booted up off my cd-- now what? chroot???
[18:02] <SebNaitsabes> ZeroOP:  you want USB support?
[18:03] <Odd-rationale> jlewis: use tab completion to help complete the folder name...
[18:03] <stylzP> SebNaitsabes, kernel modul missing
[18:03] <SebNaitsabes> yes yes that can happen
[18:03] <ZeroOP_> but yeah, tahnks for the lead on their website
[18:03] <Odd-rationale> jlewis: try "chmod -R 755 ~/Free<tab>"
[18:03] <SebNaitsabes> the virtualbox manual is good
[18:03] <ZeroOP_> follow their directions
[18:03] <kevinO> fwaokda, ok it must not be there then, i would move on to the next step
[18:03] <SebNaitsabes> not sure waht the link is
[18:03] <ZeroOP_> and see :)
[18:03] <nico_> what about xen Versus virtualbox ?
[18:03] <Abed> wut is the virtualbox?
[18:04] <jlewis> ok, hang on.
[18:04] <Odd-rationale> !virtualbox | Abed
[18:04] <SebNaitsabes> and if you want  USB supporrt get the PUEL from their site
[18:04] <Sudowman> thorny__sun: yes. Do you know where your ubuntu installation is mounted?
[18:04] <snarkster> has anyone converted a window ce pda to linux?
[18:04] <Taylor> hey ppl
[18:04] <Abed> hey Taylor
[18:04] <thorny__sun> Sudowman: not really
[18:04] <Taylor> yeah i did it to my aunt
[18:04] <fwaokda> the next step is syncing but my device doesn't pass this step yet... "synce-pls"
[18:04] <jlewis> Odd-rationale: That is it! Beauty! tHX.
[18:04] <digiwhite> bye to all! :)
[18:04] <kevinO> fwaokda, sudo apt-get install multisync-tools opensync-plugin-evolution opensync-plugin-synce
[18:05] <thorny__sun> Sudowman: i think it's hda0 or something like that
[18:05] <nico_> is it possible to emulate a complete desktop with xen or it is only for server ?
[18:05] <Sudowman> thorny__sun:do you know where you installed it (something like /dev/hda2 or /dev/sda1)
[18:05] <Odd-rationale> jlewis: np. BTW, cool to see other reformed people on here... :)
[18:05] <sns> I got two users: user1 (default user) and user2. When logged into KDE as user2. Which users defines when screen goes idle in gnome-power-preferences?

[18:06] <Zyna> VileTimes, using nosplash pci=noacpi all-generic-ide it crashes saying "disabling IRQ #5" any idea?
[18:06] <sns> I got two users: user1 (default user) and user2. When logged into KDE as user2. Which users defines when screen goes idle in gnome-power-preferences? I use KDE and GDM as login manager.
[18:07] <Zyna> VileTimes, seems like a problem when initiating usb support

[18:12] <Sudowman> thorny__sun: ok first type 'sudo su' to give yourself a root shell, then 'mkdir /mnt/ubuntu222
[18:12] <weretaco> anyone feel up to answering a network related question?
[18:12] <Odd-rationale> Sudowman: "sudo -i" is reccomended over "sudo su". here at least...
[18:13] <Sudowman> thorny__sun: then 'mount /dev/sda2 /mnt/ubuntu222'
[18:13] <fwaokda> kevinO, still no worky

[18:15] <jlewis> Odd-rationale: where are you from?
[18:16] <Sudowman> thorny__sun: from here you should be able to do whatever you wanted. You can set the root passwd with 'passwd root' or you can add your user to sudo group
[18:16] <kevinO> weretaco,  cant you just leave it on Roaming mode?
[18:16] <weretaco> well.. i need to be on static IP in the office
[18:17] <weretaco> which also means specifying a dns server
[18:17] <weretaco> i tried it before adding a script to add the static DNS servers to the resolv.conf on bootup
[18:17] <jlewis> Odd-rationale: What denom are you?
[18:17] <kevinO> weretaco, is the static ip in the office much different from your home?
[18:17] <weretaco> but then it'd have to wait for the non existant first one left from the dhcp to timeout before moving on
[18:17] <Sudowman> thorny__sun: I would recommend setting the root passwd, so that if something goes wrong when you boot back into the real ubuntu  you should be able to fix it from there
[18:17] <Flannel> Sudowman, thorny__sun: you really don't need a root password.  sudo covers everything you need.
[18:18] <thorny__sun> Sudowman: yeah-- and now i will actually try to remember it
[18:18] <Flannel> thorny__sun: You didn't need to boot to a liveCD anyway.  You should've used the recovery console
[18:19] <thorny__sun> Sudowman: so how does 'passwd root' change the root password of my hd install root instead of the root password of my live cd root?
[18:19] <kevinO> weretaco, couldnt you just give your home network the same subnet ip as your work?
[18:19] <thorny__sun> Sudowman: it just doesn't seem like i should be able to do this?  isn't this a security hole?
[18:20] <Chousuke> thorny__sun: depends; which system are you booted to?
[18:20] <thorny__sun> Chousuke: I booted to live cd
[18:20] <Chousuke> then it changes the livecd root user's pass
[18:20] <thorny__sun> Flannel: so forgetting the root password doesn't matter at all?
[18:20] <Sudowman> Chousuke: he/she is chrooted into ubuntu install
[18:20] <Flannel> thorny__sun: All you need to do is boot to the recovery console, and re-add your user to the admin group.  No liveCD needed.  And certainly don't set a root password
[18:20] <Chousuke> Sudowman: ah, hmm
[18:21] <Chousuke> in that case, yes.
[18:21] <Flannel> thorny__sun: The root password doesn't exist by default.  The root account is locked.
[18:21] <Ithilin> could someone tell me where the .bashrc or .zshrc files are? I need to edit them.
[18:21] <thorny__sun> Sudowman: so chroot then transfers me over to my hd isntall as root on that?
[18:21] <Flannel> Ithilin: ~/.bashrc (/home/user/.bashrc
[18:21] <Sudowman> Flannel: recovery console? is that single user mode?
[18:21] <halp9> hi. How to set in GNOME to have PL language and PL locale for my current user?
[18:21] <Flannel> Sudowman: yes
[18:21] <Ithilin> thanks what about the other one?
[18:21] <Flannel> Ithilin: the same (just different name)
[18:21] <Ithilin> ok thanks again
[18:22] <Flannel> Ithilin: Although it may not exist already
[18:22] <Sudowman> thorny__sun: yeah, but keeps certain things from livecd such as kernel and /proc
[18:22] <thorny__sun> Flannel:  i'll set my root password anyway since i don't remember it
[18:22] <soundray> halp9: prepare your system with System-Administration-Language Support, then choose Polish as the language at the login screen
[18:22] <Flannel> thorny__sun: You should lock your root account.  You should not have a root password set.
[18:22] <zoreau> are there any music players that let me play music over the network
[18:22] <Flannel> thorny__sun: sudo passwd -l root
[18:22] <Flannel> thorny__sun: (thats an L)
[18:22] <halp9> soundray: oh ok... btw, a bit unintuitive imho
[18:22] <halp9> brb
[18:23] <Ithilin> flannel they aren't in folders are they? or are the just files in the home directory?
[18:23] <Flannel> Ithilin: Yes
[18:23] <thorny__sun> Flannel: Sudowman: Chousuke: is there anyway to know what my users groups were before i did 'usermod -G newgroup'?
[18:23] <pmmadog> hi all how do you get the flames when you shut down a window
[18:23] <thorny__sun> Flannel: is that what ubuntu does by default-- lock the root password?
[18:24] <Atomicsunset> compiz fusion
[18:24] <soundray> !ccsm | pmmadog
[18:24] <Flannel> thorny__sun: adm dialout cdrom floppy audio dip video plugdev lpadmin scanner admin
[18:24] <kevinO> weretaco, if you make your home networks ip adress the same as your works, then you can give your laptop the static ip it needs for your work. and you can keep your home network dhcp, just make sure the starting range for ip addresses will accommodate your work ip address. a static ip will work on a dhcp as long as its within range and not assigned already i believe.
[18:24] <pmmadog> thank you
[18:24] <Flannel> thorny__sun: In the future, remember the -a
[18:25] <kevinO> weretaco, then you should be able to go to and from with no configuration
[18:25] <Flannel> thorny__sun: yes.  The root account is locked, and there's no need to unlock it
[18:25] <thorny__sun> Flannel: yeah-- figured that out a little too late
[18:25] <thorny__sun> Flannel: so that means knowing the password is useless?
[18:25] <zoreau> anyone know of a music and/or video player that can open files located somewhere on my home network
[18:25] <Flannel> thorny__sun: there is no password to know.
[18:25] <thorny__sun> oh ok
[18:26] <Zyna> VileTimes, tried to install 8.04 server this time and it gets stuck at USB init as well... just says 8 ports detected in the last line... that's it... just stops and after a few seconds the cd stops rotating
[18:26] <Flannel> zoreau: Once you've mounted your network shares, any/all players should be able to open them
[18:26] <thorny__sun> Flannel: Sudowman: may i say that usermod should append by default and remove only with an extra switch
[18:26] <soundray> zoreau: if you mount  the network share, you can play the music files in the share with any player
[18:26] <skaflem> zoreau: I just share the media-files with smb/nfs, and open them "localy" on my computer :)
[18:27] <weretaco> kevinO: I think i might run into issues with that
[18:27] <weretaco> because the DNS ip will be different
[18:27] <weretaco> I am thinking
[18:27] <zoreau> soundray: how do i mount the folder?
[18:27] <Sudowman> thorny__sun: you can do that if you want, using aliases
[18:27] <weretaco> that I could write a bash script that pings the gateway here on the lan, since that connects before X starts anyways
[18:27] <weretaco> if it's up, I know I'm at work
[18:27] <weretaco> if it fails, I'm at home
[18:27] <soundray> zoreau: Places-Connect to Server
[18:28] <weretaco> then i cna just modify resolv.conf if i'm here with the right dns, and at home let dhcpd overwrite it
[18:28] <zoreau> oh well then it should be working, but its not
[18:28] <soundray> zoreau: what version of Ubuntu do you have?
[18:28] <Flannel> thorny__sun: most people just use users/groups, and avoid the issue.
[18:29] <kevinO> weretaco, just setup a dns for each place, in order of which place you want to use the internet the most i guess :))
[18:29] <zoreau> 8.04 hardy
[18:29] <weretaco> yeah.. i was doing that
[18:29] <weretaco> but it takes soo long to timeout on dns :P
[18:29] <weretaco> unless you can change that
[18:29] <weretaco> hrmmm
[18:29] <kevinO> every internet service provider should give you a dns ip to use
[18:29] <soundray> zoreau: just to clarify: you can access the share, but not play the files?
[18:29] <kevinO> oh you already did that
[18:30] <zoreau> correct
[18:30] <jonny__> hi@all
[18:30] <soundray> zoreau: which player have you tried?
[18:30] <zoreau> Im currently looking at the music on my other comp thru Banshee's 'open file' andall the songs are greyed out
[18:30] <thorny__sun> Flannel: what do you mean users/groups?  i created a new group and was tryin to add my user to it.. how would you do that?
[18:30] <Sudowman> Flannel: sudo is no more secure than logging in as root, providing you know not to login as root when you dont need to.
[18:31] <Flannel> thorny__sun: in the GUI, system > admin > users and groups
[18:31] <thorny__sun> oh
[18:31] <Flannel> !sudo | Sudowman
[18:31] <Flannel> Sudowman: that page explains some of the benefits of using sudo vs using root
[18:31] <zoreau> soundray: Banshee and thestandard Movie Player
[18:31] <keram`> how can i make it so that when a network interfaces comes up it automatically creates a secondary interface on a different subnet (like ifconfig eth0:1 192.168.10.5)
[18:32] <soundray> zoreau: it could be just a permissions problem. If it's that, copying those files to your local desktop would fail, too. Have you tried that?
[18:32] <zoreau> Movie player crashes, and banshee wont open remote files
[18:32] <keram`> i have tried using post-up ifconfig eth0:1 192.168.10.5 but it doesnt seem to do anything
[18:32] <zoreau> i just copied one to make sure it could open, it wasfine
[18:33] <Sudowman> Flannel: I think the reason is more that if ubuntu ever does get widespread like windows, and everyone is competent enough to know how to login as root, then ubuntu will suffer from the same problems as windows
[18:33] <Sinnerman> hi is there a way to find out what icon a program is using to display in the notification area?
[18:33] <kevinO> weretaco, there has got to nbe some program that will allow you to choose a location
[18:33] <weretaco> yeah.. i just want automagical :P
[18:33] <soundray> zoreau: you might try mounting the share on the command line instead of through gnome
[18:33] <ml> ok so I wanted to hack the scripts in the livecd (usb version), I managed to find the filesystem on the liveusb ubuntu 8.04, called filesystem.squashfs, I extracted it, modified the /etc/init.d/myscript, repacked the squashfs files, recopy on key, and now it looked as if it would work, but then I lost every right (cannot sudo su, cannot startx, etc...) ne1 knows why ?
[18:33] <thorny__sun> Sudowman: thanks so much for the help and time!!  u saved me!
[18:33] <Sudowman> Flannel: if you know how to use linux properly logging in as root is fine
[18:34] <fwaokda> soundray, i looked on the forums but no how-tos
[18:34] <zoreau> soundray: how do I do that
[18:34] <kevinO> weretaco, then the way i described to you about putting both networks is the best your going to get for now unless you can find a program on the net for it
[18:34] <Flannel> Sudowman: sudo does nothing to keep you from breaking your own system.  You can have a root terminal, etc.  It provides the admins more control over what non-admins can do, plus the security benefits (guessing username and password instead of just password)
[18:34] <weretaco> yeah
[18:34] <weretaco> I think I found an option for DNS timeouts
[18:35] <weretaco> so if I lower that
[18:35] <kevinO> but you still have the timeout issue
[18:35] <DarkAudit> getting strange sound system behavior... no audio previews in Nautilus, no sound from VLC, and ALSA lib control.c:909:(snd_ctl_open_noupdate) Invalid CTL front:0
[18:35] <weretaco> i shoudlnt see the difference really
[18:35] <kevinO> ahh cool
[18:35] <soundray> fwaokda: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=30936
[18:35] <weretaco> just have it timeout soon enough that I don't notice it :P
[18:35] <kevinO> 1 second :)
[18:35] <DarkAudit> all dependent on what the session is. In GNOME or KDE, I get the errors. *Not* in fluxbox
[18:35] <imaginativeone> I need a better irc client than pidgeon
[18:35] <snmpee_> Sudowman:  logging in as root generally a bad practice. in fact, most of the linux channels have root@ banned to encourage using lesser accounts. I'm not going to argue with you, but there's no reason to take such risks.
[18:35] <imaginativeone> are there any others?
[18:35] <Flannel> Sudowman: There's absolutely no reason to enable the root account in Ubuntu, which is why we don't support it, and ask you not to recommend it to people here, unless you're going to be here to support them 24/7
[18:35] <Flannel> imaginativeone: xchat
[18:35] <DarkAudit> if I'm in fluxbox, audio previews in Nautilus works fine
[18:35] <fwaokda> soundray, thanks i'm trying it now
[18:36] <imaginativeone> flannel: thanks
[18:36] <soundray> zoreau: I can only give you a rough pointer, as it's been some time since I did this: 'sudo mount -t cifs -o user=username,pass='password' //server/sharename /mnt'
[18:36] <soundray> zoreau: note this is insecure when you're on a shared system
[18:36] <zoreau> how so?
[18:37] <soundray> zoreau: another user might read your commandline, which contains the password, by typing 'ps aux'
[18:38] <Sudowman> Flannel: snmpee_ : I dont want to argue either, but the fifth point on that page is BS , for obvious reasons
[18:38] <soundray> zoreau: have a look at 'man mount' -- it explains how you can put the user and pass in a credentials file and not have it show up in the process list
[18:38] <snmpee_> Sudowman take it to #ubuntu-offtopic
[18:38] <falstaff> does anybody knows an linux application which pops a windows to the front?
[18:39] <imaginativeone_> sweet!  This is nicer...
[18:39] <imaginativeone_> thanks again flannel
[18:40] <taime1> in Xubuntu, is xfce heavily modified, and does it rely on gnome?
[18:40] <Awsoonn> I would like to set up a local cached repo in my house so that all of my machines in my home will update faster, any tips?
[18:40] <soundray> falstaff: can you explain a bit more what you're trying to do?
[18:40] <fwaokda> soundray, mine doesn't have ipaq runnin :( so i dont think that how to works for me mine says "rndis_host"
[18:41] <Flannel> Awsoonn: check out apt-proxy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptProxy
[18:41] <falstaff> soundray, doing a test.. i found out that popups with wine doesnt work, so i try to find an linux application which pops something up, if this works, the bug belongs to wine.. :-)
[18:41] <Awsoonn> Flannel: domo
[18:41] <soundray> Awsoonn: quick and dirty: define a 'master' downloader, share its /var/cache/apt/archives, and mount that share to /var/cache/apt/archives on the other machines
[18:41] <rotzak> any idea if you can take a virtual desktop across two monitors and split it into two desktops, sort of like how Windows handles multiple monitors?
[18:41] <rotzak> because I really hate having my bars flow over to my second monitor
[18:42] <muntrue> rotzak, Je kan de VM in fullscreen zetten op een van de monitors
[18:42] <Dr_Willis> rotzak,  Huh? If using nvidia - enable Twinview -  and the gnome panelwont do that
[18:42] <chimp> I have two laptops here, one will connect fine to the wireless in the house, while the other one will connect, then only intermitantly give any net access, it will hang for ages (even if i just ping something) then net access will come back outta the blue, any help?
[18:42] <soundray> fwaokda: I'm not sure what you're getting at... ipaq isn't a program, it's a kernel module
[18:42] <rotzak> muntrue: sorry, no dutch speaker here ;)
[18:42] <rotzak> Dr_Willis: TwinView sweet. I'll have to check that badboy out
[18:42] <soundray> falstaff: you can use devilspie to force the behaviour you want
[18:42] <fwaokda> soundray, well its not loaded for my device how do i load it for my phone?
[18:43] <muntrue> rotzak, How can you have that name and not speak dutch ! Blasphemy!
[18:43] <rotzak> lol
[18:43] <soundray> fwaokda: 'sudo modprobe ipaq'
[18:43] <Dr_Willis> rotzak,  disable xinerama, and enable twinview - I normaly do  so with the nvidia-settings tool and the nvidia-xconfig tool
[18:43] <rotzak> i probably could by now, so many people are rattling off dutch to me :-P
[18:43] <TwistedLiquid> Hey guys, I'm trying to figure out how to take a list (from a file or cat) and run a command for each line with the contents of the line as aruguments for the command.
[18:43] <fwaokda> soundray, k thanks i'll try that
[18:43] <muntrue> rotzak, How did you come to that name ?
[18:44] <rotzak> muntrue: It's the name of my band, my bass player came up with it, his grandma is dutch I think :)
[18:44] <soundray> TwistedLiquid: man xargs
[18:44] <TwistedLiquid> everything I've found points to xargs, but i haven't got that working right for me
[18:44] <synapse98561> After configuring my bcm4306 with ndiswrapper, ubuntu will only connect to open networks. I can't connect to WPA-secured ones.
[18:44] <rotzak> Dr_Willis: Here's an interesting one. When I launch nvidia-settings it tells me that I'm not using an nvidia driver, but I configured my display with nivida-xconfig and in my xorg.conf my device driver is 'nvidia'
[18:44] <muntrue> rotzak, Makes sense. Its such a typical dutch word. We just assume only a real dutchy would use that. Must be pretty hard to pronounce for you guys eh ?
[18:44] <falstaff> soundray, "No s-expressions loaded, quiting" any how to?
[18:45] <soundray> TwistedLiquid: example: 'cat filelist | xargs ls'
[18:45] <chimp> !offtopic > muntrue
[18:45] <soundray> falstaff: /usr/share/doc/devilspie
[18:45] <rotzak> muntrue: yeah, everyone pronounces it "rot-zaak"
[18:45] <rotzak> we, the band, pronounce it more like "rotzok"
[18:45] <muntrue> chimp, Kinda fast on the offtopic button there buddy.
[18:45] <chimp> muntrue: Its a busy channel
[18:46] <TwistedLiquid> thanks soundray, but it always feeds all the lines together as arguments for one process, instead of each line being arguments for each process
[18:46] <taime1> why does thi schannle torture itself???? have you all not heard of conference mode?? there are like 100 people asking questions, and you cannot read the text quickly enough to answer them..
[18:46] <soundray> TwistedLiquid: that's xargs main strength :)
[18:46] <muntrue> chimp, True but that does not mean i cant have a friendly conversation for a second before being !offtopic'd
[18:46] <taime1> conference mode, ops.. c'mon..
[18:46] <weretaco> ok kevinO I think I came up with a solution
[18:46] <weretaco> I used the option in resolv.conf to set the timeout to 0.5 seconds
[18:46] <soundray> TwistedLiquid: see if 'cat file | while read i ; do echo $i ; done' helps
[18:47] <TwistedLiquid> alright, thanks
[18:47] <weretaco> then in /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf I removed the request domain-name-server
[18:47] <weretaco> so i'm hoping this works :P
[18:47] <synapse98561> Is anyone here on a WPA network using ndiswrapper?
[18:47] <rotzak> Here's an interesting one. When I launch nvidia-settings it tells me that I'm not using an nvidia driver, but I configured my display with nivida-xconfig and in my xorg.conf my device driver is 'nvidia'
[18:47] <jpcooper> hello
[18:48] <jpcooper> does anyone know how to make the flash plugin for firefox (Adobe's) work with Alsa, rather than direct to the device?
[18:48] <soundray> rotzak: strange... same result with 'gksudo nvidia-settings'?
[18:48] <rotzak> soundray: yep
[18:49] <soundray> rotzak: I presume you've restarted your machine since you configured the driver?
[18:49] <weretaco> bah
[18:49] <rotzak> hmm I think so
[18:49] <weretaco> bahhhh
[18:49] <rotzak> let me try that
[18:49] <weretaco> :P
[18:49] <weretaco> more options to add
[18:49] <FloodBot1> weretaco: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[18:50] <adp> hi. the menus on my desktop (Applications,Places,System) are gone. How do I get them back?
[18:50] <adp> using ubuntu. 7.04
[18:50] <snmpee_> soundray we need to discuss your suggestions regarding nvidia.
[18:50] <tore_> how can I get mplayer to play files inside .rar's?
[18:50] <snmpee_> privmsg
[18:51] <Flannel> !resetpanels | adp
[18:51] <weretaco> apparently I also have to prepend or append the dns servers since now the dhcpd just overwrites with blank nameservers. So this "should" work now :)
[18:51] <soundray> adp: is the panel still there?
[18:52] <adp> it worked! thanks!
[18:52] <soundray> !pm | snmpee_
[18:53] <synapse98561> Is there something wrong with WPA in hardy and the 2.6.24 kernel?
[18:53] <Odd-rationale> jlewis_: yes i'm still here. just finished lunch...
[18:53] <TwistedLiquid> Thanks soundray, that works!
[18:53] <TwistedLiquid> I was close with: for args in `cat testfile`; do ./countargs $args; done
[18:53] <snmpee_> soundray: I am not asking you anything, i am correcting you. take it to #ubuntu-offtopic if you don't wish to pm, you do need some correction.
[18:54] <adp> last question. how would I get a desktop app to load at session login?
[18:54] <adp> like gmail notifier?
[18:54] <falstaff> soundray, does devilspie work under compiz? moving a window to another workspace seems not to work.. but thanks!
[18:55] <soundray> falstaff: I haven't tried
[18:55] <windmill> I've been getting some strange sound issues since I upgraded to Hardy, anyone know why my sound card says it's busy
[18:55] <windmill> ?
[18:56] <synapse98561> Is anyone runnng with WPA working on Hardy?
[18:56] <weretaco> where would I add something to have it insert text after dhcpd has started up?
[18:57] <chriswr> whats VMware?
[18:57] <Awsoonn> synapse98561: i have a working wpa connection
[18:57] <chriswr> im trying to install backtrack in ubuntu on virtual box ,and i dont know if i should choose iso file or a vmware file?
[18:57] <taime1> chriswr: virtual machine program that lets you run an os inside an os
[18:57] <eshear_> daemontools automatically adds itself to /etc/inittab...will that work on ubuntu? or do I need to do something else to get it to load on startup?
[18:58] <Windsurfer619> synapse98561: Yeah, it's pretty easy with nm-applet
[18:58] <taime1> chriswr: iso
[18:58] <synapse98561> awsoonn: are you, by chance, using ndiswrapper?
[18:58] <chriswr> taimel: ok
[18:58] <chriswr> taime1: thnx
[18:58] <synapse98561> windsurfer: I wsh it were... lol
[18:58] <strixv> Wacom tablets: Mine works if I've had it plugged in since boot, but if I plug it in (hotplug it?), no dice. Any suggestions?
[18:59] <synapse98561> with the b43 driver it works, but i get speeds of less that 1Mb/s. with ndiswrapper it will not connect to any wpa enabled network.
[18:59] <Dr_Willis> strixv,  i belive thats a known bug with the  tablets. I recall seeing it mentioned in the forums
[19:00] <mavsman4457> hi my flash player is pretty much working but when I go to play conan obrien episodes or videos from hulu it just stays at buffereing or loading video
[19:00] <chimp> Is there a way for me to 'reinstall' and reset the wiresless setup for this laptop?
[19:00] <strixv> Dr_Willis, I wonder if there's a work-around? I'm looking through the forums atm trying to find something
[19:01] <Dr_Willis> strixv,  no idea - mine dosent ahve tht issue
[19:01] <tortus> how do i check whether my text file has win or unix line breaks?
[19:02] <Dr_Willis> Hmm.. pOpen it in an editor that shows end or line/CR perhaps? like fte - is one way
[19:02] <Dr_Willis> file command may tell also.,
[19:02] <AlexJP> anyone here ever use a trackball?
[19:02] <PrivateVoid> tortus there is a grep command option...
[19:02] <PrivateVoid> I have to look it up
[19:02] <strixv> Dr_Willis, could you tell me what ver of Ubuntu you're using, and what tablet you have?
[19:04] <Dr_Willis> old old wacom gra[hire.
[19:04] <Dr_Willis> uing 8.04
[19:04] <mercutio22> Doodes
[19:05] <mercutio22> Acrobat reader has a memory leak
[19:05] <mercutio22> What do I do? report a bug?
[19:05] <Dr_Willis> think adobe will care?
[19:05] <Luukje> bbl <<--
[19:05] <tortus> PrivateVoid, thanks found it in wikipedia
[19:05] <mgreen> mercutio22: have you seen the list of developers of that "viewer"? i'm not surprised :)
[19:06] <tortus> PrivateVoid, grep -PL $'\r\n' myfile.txt # show UNIX style file (LF terminated)
[19:06] <mercutio22> mgreen: no. Where is it?
[19:06] <mgreen> mercutio22: check "About" maybe?
[19:07] <mercutio22> hmm
[19:07] <PrivateVoid> tortus, cool... yep... was just about to paste that in
[19:07] <spasticteapot> The latest Ubuntu update (7.10 - yes, I should update) has rendered my computer a mess. No wifi, and no soundcard!

[19:09] <ClawEEE> what can i do ?
[19:09] <mercutio22> mgreen: is there another reader that integrates well with firefox?
[19:09] <gangsterlicious> ClawEEE: check /var/log/Xorg?.log
[19:09] <gangsterlicious> or just grep "EE" out of that log
[19:09] <mgreen> mercutio22: do you really want it to "integrate" with firefox?
[19:09] <mercutio22> mgreen: It is nice.
[19:10] <gangsterlicious> ClawEEE: then cross reference the error message on forum see if similiar errors happened with others
[19:10] <mgreen> mercutio22: well, i don't know what to say about the memory leak... hope for the best :)
[19:10] <ClawEEE> gangsterlicious: whats the command to read the log in console ?
[19:10] <hiptobecubic> where would i go to ask about a problem with flash in firefox3? the text encoding is wrong, it's not correctly printing accents
[19:11] <tranqy>  vc cvvcZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZSQF234
[19:11] <gangsterlicious> ClawEEE: "vi" or "grep EE /var/log/Xorg*log"
[19:11] <mgreen> hiptobecubic: i've got the same problem here
[19:11] <ClawEEE> kk thx
[19:11] <gangsterlicious> you should have nano installed. use nano instead of vi
[19:11] <hiptobecubic> mgreen, there's no way to force utf-8?
[19:11] <mgreen> hiptobecubic: if there is, please do tell :)
[19:11] <Hotkey> anyone tell me how to add a key shortcut to enter name/address in forms?
[19:12] <hiptobecubic> mgreen, lol great. well i've not had any luck so far
[19:12] <mgreen> it's usually not a problem, but the chat part of YouTube Streams is messed up
[19:12] <mercutio22> mgreen: I will abandon adobe reader if there is another reader that opens in firefox. Do you know of any?
[19:12] <mgreen> mercutio22: i don't know of any, since i prefer opening in a new window
[19:13] <mercutio22> mgreen: which one do you use?
[19:13] <mgreen> mercutio22: i use evince, which comes standard
[19:13] <ClawEEE> gangsterlicious: well system stops while "*Running local boot scripts (etc/rc.local)
[19:13] <ClawEEE> or after that
[19:13] <mercutio22> mgreen: does evince display on fullscreen?
[19:13] <falstaff> Whats the difference between viewports (in compiz) and workspaces?
[19:13] <gangsterlicious> ClawEEE: how long you let it wait at execuing /etc/rc.local?

[19:14] <joobaby> whats the best way to transfer 2 gigs over the internet to 1 person?
[19:14] <nogagplz> joobaby: A torrent?
[19:14] <ClawEEE> gangsterlicious: just a few minutes.... does it sometimes take so long ?
[19:14] <windmill> where is my sound? :P
[19:15] <Sudowman> joobaby: ftp server
[19:15] <gangsterlicious> ClawEEE: I take you can still use CLI/console but just no gui huh? you try to press ENTER few times see if it prompts something?
[19:15] <the_darkside_986> I can't get mysql to let me set a password for a user. when I run the UPDATE query: "Rows matched: 1  Changed: 0  Warnings: 0"
[19:15] <mgreen> mercutio22: i don't know about fullscreen. let me check.
[19:15] <the_darkside_986> after flush privileges: it still requires a blank password.
[19:15] <mercutio22> mgreen: alright, thanx
[19:15] <Sudowman> nogagplz: torrents are subject to bandwidth throttling, if you're only transferring to one person there not much use
[19:15] <mgreen> mercutio22: yes, it does indeed support fullscreen
[19:16] <mgreen> mercutio22: f11 or view menu
[19:16] <spi343> hi all, how can i stop pcmcia in ubuntu 8.04 ? /etc/init.d/pcmcia stop don't work

[19:17] <ClawEEE> gangsterlicious: ya i tryed
[19:17] <ClawEEE> gangsterlicious: no gui booting
[19:17] <mgreen> mercutio22: it think you will find that emedding in firefox is not really necessary. though, ymmv
[19:18] <gangsterlicious> ClawEEE: did you log on as root and see what it says in /var/log/Xorg0.log?
[19:18] <mercutio22> mgreen: I know its not crucial. But it is nice. I think I will suggest that at ubuntu brainstorm
[19:18] <gangsterlicious> sorry, might be Xorg.0.log.
[19:18] <mgreen> mercutio22: absolutely, do that. thanks for contributing :)
[19:18] <eshear_> does /etc/inittab work in ubuntu?
[19:19] <Hotkey> anyone tell me how to add a key shortcut?

[19:20] <Sylphid|work> im looking to get a wireless PCI card ... any reccommended cards or review sites?
[19:21] <thorny_sun> Sudowman: i'm all back to normal now-- thanks again!  curious though-- didn't we just prove that we could hack into any ubuntu system that we had physical access to?  is that as it should be?
[19:21] <Sudowman> nogagplz: you're in australia, so maybe your ISP doesn't. Here in Britain its impossible to torrent during the day
[19:21] <Sylphid|work> Hotkey, try System > Preferences > Keyboard Shortcuts
[19:21] <Hotkey> Sylphid - I have been theree but cannot figure out how to add a new one
[19:21] <gangsterlicious> ClawEEE: "ls /var/log/*org*log" what does it say? X is upper case
[19:21] <DarkAudit> I'm getting strange audio behavior only when in GNOME... no audio preview on mouseover in nautilus, no sound from VLC. Switch to XFCE, KDE, or Fluxbox, no problems.

[19:22] <Imaginativeone> what's the best way to showcase my talent in a job interview?

[19:22] <Dr_Willis> Imaginativeone,  Lots of BLING!
[19:22] <spi343> how can i stop the pcmcia service in ubuntu 8.04 ? i have installed pcmciautils but there is no pcmcia script in /etc/init.d/
[19:22] <unop> Sudowman, i can say that that's not true in my part of britain :)
[19:22] <mgreen> Imaginativeone: have you done any FLOSS work?
[19:22] <ClawEEE> gangsterlicious: boot fine.... but tv out doesnt work :P
[19:22] <Sylphid|work> Hotkey, what are you trying to make the shortcut do?
[19:22] <Sudowman> thorny_sun: yes, with physical access you can do anything. You can put a boot passwd onto the machine to stop people booting into livecds or other operating systems, but then attackers can just steal your harddisk and get your data
[19:22] <Hotkey> type email address
[19:23] <migzu_> Hi
[19:23] <gangsterlicious> ClawEEE: search around the forums. i never used that feature
[19:23] <gangsterlicious> you have to configure multi-display
[19:23] <Sudowman> unop: it is here. I cant get more than a few kbs during the day
[19:23] <migzu_> My friend just installed ubuntu. and when he applied restricted drivers (nvidia-glx) he got this http://img361.imageshack.us/img361/2695/05012006099na0.jpg
[19:23] <thorny_sun> Sudowman: is there a way to edit the sudoers file to keep me from having to type my password whenever i do sudo?  i mean i've already logged in, so why do i need to keep typing my password...
[19:23] <migzu_> Any ideas?
[19:24] <migzu_> It worked fine before nvidia-glx
[19:24] <Sudowman> thorny_sun: there is
[19:24] <mgreen> migzu_: it worked with 'nv' drivers?
[19:24] <shesek> if I accidentally changed the password for mysql's user debian-sys-maint, what should I do ?
[19:24] <unop> thorny_sun, to stop your little brother from doing damage to your system perhaps? :)
[19:24] <shesek> can I get it to use another password?
[19:24] <hiptobecubic> is there a way i can force aptitude to update just one package to intrepid?
[19:24] <hiptobecubic> has something to do with pinning or something?
[19:24] <Awsoonn> is there a shockwave plug in for ubuntu?
[19:24] <migzu_> mgreen, Dunno what drivers he has
[19:24] <unop> thorny_sun, the password is a security barrier to becoming root
[19:24] <migzu_> But the default ones
[19:24] <iOsiris> Heh you guys, i had to reinstall XP and now GRUB doesn't show up, how do you get it back ?
[19:24] <shesek> my mysql refuses to start now - on a production server
[19:24] <shesek> I need some help, please
[19:24] <naftilos76> hi to everybody, i've just imigrated from fedora to ubuntu and it seems great! But i still have a tiny problem with firefox 3. It indicates that java is not working when i try java in java.com. Any ideas?
[19:25] <DarkAudit> something broke in ALSA, but the test seems to work. Only when certain applications need sound does it fail. Any idea what I broke?
[19:25] <thorny_sun> unop: little borther isn't around-- and as Sudowman and I just demonstrated the password is kinda useless if you have physical access anyhow
[19:25] <hiptobecubic> naftilos76,  have you installed java using synaptic/aptitude?
[19:25] <mgreen> migzu_: yes, but it worked before using proprietary drivers, right?
[19:25] <unop> hiptobecubic, pinning is possible, but not recommended -- backporting an intrepid package is safer
[19:25] <migzu_> Yes
[19:25] <jochmen> !java
[19:25] <Hotkey> sylphid did I miss your response?  I logged off by accident!
[19:25] <hiptobecubic> unop, sounds great. how does that work?
[19:25] <Sudowman> thorny_sun: check out the bottom of this page    https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
[19:25] <hiptobecubic> !backport
[19:26] <mgreen> migzu_: you could restore settings to use 'nv' driver
[19:26] <spi343> DarkAudit, aplay -l show the card?
[19:26] <shesek> if I accidentally changed the password for mysql's user debian-sys-maint, what should I do ?
[19:26] <migzu_> Yeah, but he wants to get compiz and all that stuff
[19:26] <hiptobecubic> i have already enable backporting but not for intrepid, how do i enable intrepid?
[19:26] <DarkAudit> spi343: card 0: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 0: ALC883 Analog [ALC883 Analog]
[19:26] <mgreen> migzu_: type 'lspci'
[19:26] <DarkAudit> card 0: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 1: ALC883 Digital [ALC883 Digital]
[19:26] <unop> hiptobecubic, you need an intrepid deb-src line in /etc/apt/sources.list for the repo that has the package. then do.   apt-get -b source packagename
[19:26] <migzu_> And theres this thing, that when he tries to do ctrl+alt+f2. The screen says "out of range"
[19:26] <hiptobecubic> oh
[19:26] <migzu_> So he can't acces terminal

[19:27] <vdsy> where is inetd.conf????
[19:27] <migzu_> etc/identd
[19:27] <cleus> use windows instead and dont bother trying to config all these shit :P
[19:27] <migzu_> /etc/identd
[19:27] <thorny_sun> Sudowman: thanks!!
[19:27] <Pici> cleus: Watch the language here, please.
[19:27] <migzu_> mgreen, Ideas?
[19:27] <hiptobecubic> unop, ok thank you
[19:27] <DarkAudit> spi343: yes
[19:27] <cleus> a'ight ^^
[19:27] <jochmen> that looks like nvidia soundcard
[19:27] <mgreen> migzu_: look up in the history
[19:28] <cleus> use windows instead and dont bother trying to config all these things :P
[19:28] <spi343> DarkAudit, so you say only some applications fail with the sound, not all?
[19:28] <jochmen> do lshw in console
[19:28] <cleus> is this better?
[19:28] <migzu_> hes got nvidia 8600gt
[19:28] <migzu_> gts*
[19:28] <migzu_> But he can't type "lspci" in , cause he can't acces terminal
[19:28] <mgreen> migzu_: i've got 8600 gts
[19:28] <migzu_> I've got 8600gt
[19:28] <neuromit> does anybody know how to enable PAE in ubuntu?
[19:28] <mgreen> migzu_: you can start in failsafe mode, so that X won't start
[19:29] <wols> neuromit: enabled by default normally
[19:29] <slunko> When I turn on normal/extra effects, the desktop boxes in my workplace switcher shrink to half their normal size. How can I return them to their normal size?
[19:29] <wols> neuromit: how much RAM?
[19:29] <mgreen> neuromit: go for AMD64, perhaps?
[19:29] <DarkAudit> spi343: yes. Totem works, Amarok works, VLC does *not*, mouseover preview of an audio file does *not*... and only when in GNOME. In another session manager, it all works
[19:29] <migzu_> mgreen, And how do i do taht
[19:29] <Hotkey> Sylphid|work that seems more like a way to get a script to run an ap.
[19:29] <migzu_> Mine works correctly
[19:29] <neuromit> wols: I have a intel core 2 duo with 4gb of physical ram installed, but only 3 gb are recognized
[19:29] <ubunoob> im on a mac! just got it last week, was hoping to see any advice on if macs are good to run linux, esp ubuntu 8.04
[19:29] <migzu_> This is my friend problem
[19:29] <neuromit> I
[19:29] <fwaokda> :(  I've crudded up my system trying to get this stupid phone thing to work is there any way to magically tell the computer to get rid of it all?
[19:29] <wols> neuromit: that is normal under 32bit. can't be otherwise
[19:29] <migzu_> neuromit, get 64-vit install
[19:29] <jochmen> crtl+alt backspace restart x server
[19:29] <mgreen> migzu_: you will see a message at boot.
[19:29] <neuromit> I would also like to avoid 64bit if possible
[19:29] <migzu_> friends
[19:30] <shesek> if I accidentally changed the password for mysql's user debian-sys-maint, what should I do ?
[19:30] <wols> neuromit: you can however run a amd64 kernel with your 32bit userland just fine
[19:30] <mgreen> neuromit: amd64 works very good nowadays, though
[19:30] <neuromit> if you enable PAE under kernel 2.6 you can get 36 bit addressing which is up to 64gb of ram
[19:30] <deserteagle> hello all
[19:30] <wols> neuromit: tell me which program can actually use PAE
[19:30] <Hotkey> Sylphid|work in the windowz world I had an app running in the background that would allow me to define any key combos and have that combo type anything when I pressed the keys.  Like name, address, state, city, zip code, credit card number, email address, etc.
[19:30] <jochmen> cant type fast running linux on the nintend ds
[19:30] <abhi_> how can i edit the files in /usr/share/applications/xx.desktop
[19:30] <wols> besides, you can use a bigmem kernel
[19:30] <neuromit> wols: the kernel uses pae not individual programs (if I understand)
[19:31] <migzu_> mgreen, Could this problem be because of amd64?
[19:31] <deserteagle> does anyone have a clue as to why i can play music just fine with my xmms but not vlc?
[19:31] <deserteagle> new sound card
[19:31] <jochmen> ;)
[19:31] <mgreen> migzu_: i'm running amd64
[19:31] <neuromit> well I use matlab  and aI analyze very large data sets needed as much ram as possible
[19:31] <migzu_> So am i
[19:31] <spi343> DarkAudit, in System->Preferences->Sound you can change the sound playback driver, maybe you can try them all
[19:31] <wols> neuromit: just use a amd64 kernel
[19:31] <jochmen> !sound
[19:31] <mgreen> migzu_: start with what i told you. reboot the machine and go into failsafe. that way you will be able to edit your xorg.conf and start normally
[19:32] <migzu_> Well i didn't get the failsafe part
[19:32] <migzu_> I didn't see any message on boot
[19:32] <ferric> Hi, I having setup i'm not sure how to express using the has_one has_many or belongs_to relationships. I've got a route which has to destinations, a point of departure, and a point of arrival, so two foriegn keys points to the same table.  I'm not sure what to do in my model.
[19:32] <migzu_> oh
[19:32] <Sudowman> shesek: I think you have to lock the passwd, but I'm not sure
[19:32] <migzu_> On grub you mean?
[19:32] <lunaris> I need some help:)
[19:32] <ferric> err two
[19:32] <jochmen> sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[19:32] <mgreen> migzu_: hmm, it's there... maybe your screen doesn't change resolution fast enough to show it
[19:32] <DarkAudit> spi343: got all but sound capture on autodetect and it all works there... but not on those apps when in GNOME
[19:33] <mgreen> migzu_: i think you press escape
[19:33] <migzu_> mgreen, that could be
[19:33] <lunaris> I have instaled xubuntu and my SATA hdd is not recognised

[19:35] <earthian> Hello, I recently upgraded from gutsy to hardy and now my HDD is being read/written constantly. `top' shows that kjournald process is taking more CPU time that it should (maybe as I did not actually noticed it before). What is happening there and how to stop it? I start hating the sound of hdd!
[19:35] <hiptobecubic> soundray, i'm trying to use the version of a program that is currently in the intrepid repos, without upgrading to intrepid
[19:36] <spi343> how can i stop the PCMCIA service in ubuntu 8.04 ? there's no /etc/init.d/pcmcia script
[19:36] <soundray> hiptobecubic: first stop is to check the backports repo:
[19:36] <soundray> !backports > hiptobecubic
[19:36] <spi343> with this kernel version 2.6.24-19-generic
[19:36] <hiptobecubic> backports is already checked in my sources
[19:36] <hiptobecubic> hardy-backports
[19:36] <naftilos76> -ubottu- When i go to java.com it shows that java is not working on my pc
[19:36] <wols> spi343: is it a module?
[19:36] <wols> if so you can blacklist
[19:36] <wols> !blacklist | spi343
[19:36] <soundray> hiptobecubic: if it's not there, you can try and backport it yourself, by checking out the intrepid source package and compiling it with hardy libs
[19:36] <mgreen> hiptobecubic: what software is it, specifically?
[19:36] <spi343> wobblyw1, yes hostap_cs for prism 2.5
[19:37] <spi343> wols, , yes hostap_cs for prism 2.5
[19:37] <hiptobecubic> mgreen, gecko-media player
[19:37] <wols> as I said: blacklist then
[19:37] <jochmen> !blacklist
[19:37] <mgreen> hiptobecubic: do you have a specific issue that we may be of help of or are you sure that you need that package?
[19:38] <spi343> wols, ok that would disable it for good, i just need something like /etc/init.d/pcmcia stop; do stuff without pcmcia; then restart service
[19:38] <xFlipx> anybody having FF3 issues where FLV video either freezes or randomly loses audio?
[19:38] <rockenrola1> do the external hard drives have temperature sensors too? mine is very hot
[19:38] <jochmen> you can eject the card
[19:38] <hiptobecubic> i started http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=766683 there. Which led me to http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=5305122&postcount=500 here.
[19:38] <wols> spi343: you can always manually modprobe it and rmmod it afterwards

[19:39] <Sylphid|work> Hotkey, you may be able to put some static entries into the clipboard and set shortcuts to paste from there
[19:39] <hiptobecubic> and he does a really awkward look replacement of hardy with intrepid in the sources file. it seems like there is a better way to do it, which is what i'm looking for
[19:39] <Hotkey> Sylphid|work thx
[19:39] <Sylphid|work> Hotkey, just curous ... what was the windows program you were using?

[19:40] <Hotkey> Sylphid|work not my day!  Forgot user id and/or password to Ubuntu Forums too!

[19:41] <jcg> Como utilizar o Squad, para ler um arquivo de log?..Alguem sabe?
[19:41] <hiptobecubic> mgreen, msome quicktime videos don't work and others do, which is exactly the problem he's describing in the post. He says that the mplayer from intrepid doesn't have the same issue so he switches "hardy" with "intrepid" in sources.list. then installs mplayer, then switches it back

[19:53] <SeveredCross> Or, gzip -d
[19:54] <Lusule> thanks
[19:54] <hiptobecubic> no it does not. the other 'working' one does work, however
[19:54] <mgreen> hiptobecubic: what system are you on?
[19:54] <Lusule> SeveredCross, not gzip -dr then?
[19:54] <hiptobecubic> hardy heron
[19:54] <SeveredCross> -r operates recursively on subdirectories, not sure why you'd need that.
[19:54] <Lusule> Seveas, it unpacks the subdirectories properly automatically?
[19:55] <chriswr> plz help , im trying to open synaptic and it keeps saying incorrect password but i know its the right password , what do i do?
[19:55] <soundray> Lusule: .gz are compressed single files, not archives
[19:55] <Lusule> and that should be SeveredCross sorry ><
[19:55] <soundray> chriswr: make sure your caps lock is off ;)

[20:02] <parasito> list
[20:02] <soundray> zz: this is a long shot, but occasionally, it'll start working if you add an option to the kernel line (hit F6 at the boot screen). Try 'vga=0x317', that should give you 1024x768
[20:02] <mgreen> hiptobecubic: ok, so we've isolated it to the actual html/javascript then
[20:02] <mgreen> hiptobecubic: ff3?

[20:11] <ubuntu> ahhh, am I ubuntu??
[20:11] <Buzzons> if i set it up , and do a "ping wwww.google.com" it works, if i then do a "ping -I eth2 www.google.com" it fails, same as if i use -I eth2:1

[20:16] <FibonacciGold> tigerplug: No worries, good luck. Be sure to use your own driver though !
[20:17] <soundray> NinjaElf: for i in $(seq 2000 3000) ; do filenames="$filenames $i.png" ; done ; do_something $filenames
[20:17] <tigerplug> will do FibonacciGold

[20:18] <FibonacciGold> Chad: How are you "installing" the ATI driver.
[20:18] <ubuntu> why don't you make programs easier to install? and why ubuntu doesn't come with what's necessary to compile some installation programs?
[20:18] <mgreen> hailu: have you tried unmounted with the console?

[20:18] <NinjaElf> soundray  thanks.  thats a little more then i expected.   I'll play with that and see how it works.

[20:23] <regeya> and though most people likely use bash or other bourne-compatible shells, it's always good to point out what shell we're talking about when talking about shellscripting ;-)
[20:23] <Chad> FibonacciGold: oh hey thanks for helping yeah i already reset and am using envy, i installed the driver via the reccomended one at the driver installation panel
[20:23] <lunaris> Hardy
[20:23] <soundray> NinjaElf: then see what 'seq 1 10' does
[20:23] <hailu> right, no errors when i unplug the drive, it just doesn't go away from the desktop and /media
[20:23] <alienseer23-eee> hello, i have an wmp54g wireless linksys installed under a fresh install of hardy, it can see all networks, but will not connect to my 64 hex encrypted network...help?
[20:23] <ubuntu> ok this is my cross http://paste.ubuntu.com/29379/
[20:23] <zz> soundray~ nope, I am thinking baout pulling out my harddrive and controller card to see if it fixes it
[20:23] <bastid_raZor> if i add a drive to my fstab can i test to see it i did it right by unmounting said drive and then sudo mount -a ?
[20:23] <hailu> mgreen, so now i have disk, disk-1 -> disk-7
[20:23] <FibonacciGold> Chad: So all good then ?
[20:23] <ubuntu> please check it out
[20:24] <mohan34u> lunaris: tell some details about your SATA hard disk..
[20:24] <soundray> ubuntu: and what's the problem?
[20:24] <hailu> it's my backup drive, i just installed a clean 8.04
[20:24] <phaverkamp> @chrisrw Virtual machien
[20:24] <hailu> so i'm copying over tons of stuff
[20:24] <ubuntu> fstab you know, partitios configuration
[20:24] <mgreen> hailu: yes, but i want you to check what the result is when you unmount it with the console
[20:24] <Chad> FibonacciGold: no because every time i install the recommended card i get black screened, thats what caused it in the first place
[20:24] <lunaris> 250GB I think ti's Seagate mohan34u
[20:24] <lunaris> its*
[20:24] <soundray> ubuntu: your fstab looks okay. Tell me what problem you are experiencing
[20:24] <mgreen> hailu: it's possible this is a bug, and we need to make sure
[20:24] <NinjaElf> soundray  I don't think it will work.  my files have .png on the end of each one.   I tried the first code that you provided me and it says.  "invalid floating point argument: 13635.png"
[20:25] <mohan34u> lunaris: how you are saying its not recognized?
[20:25] <hailu> okay, sec, i understand, i'll plug it in now and umount it via the console mgreen
[20:25] <ubuntu> I edited it, and I think thas why ubuntu doesn't boot
[20:25] <FibonacciGold> Chad: Ok, sorry I miss understood. Have you tried the restricted driver installer that ships with ubuntu ?
[20:25] <lunaris> I cannot see it it media mohan34u
[20:25] <zz> soundray: thinking about disabling all nonesential onboards like LAN and secondary IDE and FDD
[20:25] <soundray> NinjaElf: you or  I must have missed a quote
[20:25] <lunaris> I had that problem with Linux Mint Elyssa
[20:25] <lunaris> but I typed sudo commands that I typed on Elyssa
[20:25] <mohan34u> lunaris: is it bootable? what kind of disk..? USB?
[20:25] <phaverkamp> @chriswr Virtual machien
[20:25] <soundray> zz: noapic and nolapic might help as well
[20:25] <soundray> !bootoptions > zz
[20:26] <lunaris> mohan34u :internal...was storage on win
[20:26] <hailu> mgreen fyi, the ext. drive has 2 partitioned, so just now disk-6 and disk-8 popped up when i plugged the drive in
[20:26] <Atomicsunset> what do i do with the ndiswrapper files once i extract them?
[20:26] <zz> Thankyou oh so much mighty ubottu
[20:26]  * phaverkamp goes AFK
[20:26] <mgreen> hailu: the plot thickens...
[20:26] <zz> soundray~ thx, will try that stuff first
[20:26] <Chad> FibonacciGold: no I only used the proprietary one
[20:26] <chriswr> phaverkamp: yeah , i have a backtrack iso mounted
[20:26] <chriswr> on it
[20:26] <chimp> Is there a way to convert a wubi installation to a full installation easily?
[20:26] <TaoTeShau1> when doing updates i get some errors
[20:26] <hailu> mgreen, i did sudo umount /media/disk-6, no errors, it's gone successfully
[20:27] <mohan34u> llunaris: how many disks you have internally? if more than one check whether /dev have sda1, sda2... etc..
[20:27] <FibonacciGold> Atomicsunset: You can use the package manager to get ndiswrapper, then you don't have to compile it yourself.
[20:27] <NinjaElf> soundray I'm not sure what you mean?  I tried putting the file names in double quotes. though still get the same error
[20:27] <mgreen> hailu: great. what about the icon?
[20:27] <ubuntu> check this out http://paste.ubuntu.com/29379/ , ain't advertisement :P
[20:27] <lunaris> mohan34u : I have two hdd
[20:27] <Atomicsunset> i cant connect to the internet tho fibonaccigold
[20:27] <hailu> mgreen, gone as well
[20:27] <mgreen> nice
[20:27] <mohan34u> lunaris: then type ls /dev/sd*, how many you got?
[20:28] <FibonacciGold> Atomicsunset: Are you able to connect a hard wire whilst doing the installations ?
[20:28] <mgreen> hailu: unmount the other partition
[20:28] <Atomicsunset> i dont have a hard wire
[20:28] <chriswr> phaverkamp: nvm i got it , had to go to settings and click on mount immage and use the one on desktop
[20:28] <hailu> mgreen same with 8
[20:28] <chriswr> lol
[20:28] <Atomicsunset> i wish i did this would be much simpler :P
[20:28] <soundray> NinjaElf: I'll post the first part again on a line by itself. Both double quote marks are essential:
[20:28] <soundray> for i in $(seq 2000 3000) ; do filenames="$filenames $i.png" ; done
[20:28] <Atomicsunset> i have 3 hotspots
[20:28] <hailu> so, what's with the other 6 icons sitting in my filesystem... :/
[20:28] <Skyrail> Is there a where to reset all of gnomes settings/configs because I've still got a load of settings in my home folder left over from a Fedora install which has kind of messed up my Ubuntu install a little
[20:28] <mgreen> hailu: ok, now do it all again, but do it with right click context menu
[20:28] <Atomicsunset> ubuntu can only see 2
[20:28] <lunaris> mohan34u :  /dev/sda  /dev/sda1  /dev/sda2  /dev/sda3  /dev/sdb  /dev/sdb1
[20:28] <hailu> ok mgreen
[20:28] <Atomicsunset> the third is the one i connect to
[20:28] <FibonacciGold> Atomicsunset: Ok, well if you have the source for ndiswrapper that will do. extract the tar and then cd into the folder, you know how to do that ?
[20:28] <ubuntu> ehhh?? wait a minute
[20:29] <Atomicsunset> not yet
[20:29] <piyush> hi
[20:29] <Atomicsunset> im trying to convert myself to ubuntu but i havent used linux in years
[20:29] <FibonacciGold> Atomicsunset: Ok, here goes:
[20:29] <mohan34u> lunaris: no driver problem.. what exactly system saying when you access that disk?
[20:29] <ubuntu> there are four partitions there
[20:29] <Atomicsunset> lol appreciate your help
[20:29] <TaoTeShau1> anyone know how i would kill a process... like the [update manager] without using the system monitor?
[20:29] <FibonacciGold> Atomicsunset: tar xzvf ndiswrapper-tar-file-name
[20:29] <ubuntu> I tried many combinations of 0s and 1s
[20:30] <FibonacciGold> Atomicsunset: Where you substitute ndiswrapper-file-name with whatever tar you have downloaded.
[20:30] <lunaris> mohan34u : it's ntfs partition.I was using WinXP
[20:30] <ubuntu> I suspecting it couldn't be the problem
[20:30] <]Spectre[> hi,I have an issue with the wireless. I have upgraded ubuntu to the lastest kernel (Ubuntu 8.04.1, kernel 2.6.24-19-generic) and now ubuntu tell me that there is only the cabled network.my wireless board is an atheros 802.11 card.When I start with the oldest kernel 2.6.24-16 the wireless board works ok.can you council me ? thanks
[20:30] <soundray> NinjaElf: after that, the shell variable $filenames contains all the filenames. Do an 'echo $filenames' -- the beginning should look like this: 2000.png 2001.png 2002.png 2003.png...
[20:30] <Atomicsunset> ok im familiar with the untarring
[20:30] <Atomicsunset> spectre your in my boat with me :P
[20:30] <mohan34u> lunaris: no.. is the problem arise in ubuntu or xp?
[20:30] <hailu> mgreen, that worked as well, there was no disk-6/8 this time, only 132.8 GB Media and 27.3 GB Media
[20:30] <FibonacciGold> Atomicsunset: Cool, then cd into the new directory that is created and type: sudo ./configure
[20:30] <mgreen> TaoTeShau: killall processname (if you have multiple)
[20:31] <lunaris> in ubuntu
[20:31] <Atomicsunset> ok is that it?
[20:31] <lunaris> monah34u : in ubuntu
[20:31] <FibonacciGold> Atomicsunset: No, then you need to issue to more commands: sudo make     and then     sudo make install
[20:31] <zz> soundray~ ok forget this, going to double check i don't need anything then do an alt install
[20:31] <]Spectre[> Atomicsunset :)
[20:31] <hailu> ok, so now it's working ok, but i wonder how i can get rid of the other icons lurking
[20:31] <NinjaElf> soundray aaah it works.  cool!
[20:31] <mgreen> hailu: so it's not reproducible?
[20:31] <mohan34u> lunaris: so its a dual booting system. there is no driver problem in ubuntu..
[20:31] <hailu> mgreen aparently not
[20:31] <ubuntu> Anyone knows how to return to some previous global configuration?
[20:31] <mohan34u> lunaris: what exactly ubuntu saying when you access the drive?
[20:32] <zz> dpkg-reconfigure -phigh    ?
[20:32] <soundray> NinjaElf: so now you can copy all those files to the destination directory with 'cp $filenames /path/to/destination/'
[20:32] <EvilDennisR> ubuntu: Are you still talking about your fstab ?
[20:32] <dangyogi> ﻿/msg ubottu etiquette
[20:32] <ubuntu> yes sir !
[20:32] <mgreen> hailu: those problems are the worst... if you encounter it again, please note what was different.
[20:32] <EvilDennisR> ubuntu: Did you pastebin it like I asked ?
[20:32] <ubuntu> is my principal hobbie by now
[20:32] <NinjaElf> Soundray your going in the credits of the LUG video.    :)
[20:32] <lunaris> mohan34u : that hdd is not bootable.no system on it. Xubuntu is not displaying me any problem...I just cannot see it when I go to media
[20:32] <ubuntu> this is the link http://paste.ubuntu.com/29379/
[20:32] <hailu> mgreen ok, can you think of anything else i can do to get these ghost images out of /media?
[20:33] <soundray> NinjaElf: :) which LUG?
[20:33] <herr> !es
[20:33] <mgreen> hailu: if they're not mounted, you could simply delete them
[20:33] <EvilDennisR> ubuntu: So what happens when you try and boot ?
[20:33] <mohan34u> lunaris: do you have any files on that disk? are you able to view that files on xp?
[20:33] <mgreen> hailu: since there's nothing "under" that directory, you can simply purge it
[20:34] <lunaris> mohan34u : I have about 75% used space there...All my documents are there
[20:34] <dangyogi> is this the place to get help with a bug in ubuntu (update manager)?
[20:34] <dmacnutt> EvilDennisR: pastebin is for lusers
[20:34] <NinjaElf> soundray  Peterborough LUG.  plugintolinux.ca .  Its a new idea, I've started recording our meetings, so we can revisit anything we missed.
[20:34] <EvilDennisR> dmacnutt: haha
[20:34] <ubuntu> yep I was going to enter to argentina channel but there were 5 guys talking about life, so I bet for possibilities
[20:34] <mgreen> dangyogi: we will help you determine if it's a bug - if we're lucky :)
[20:34] <hailu> mgreen, this happened:
[20:34] <hailu> sudo rm -rf /media/disk*
[20:34] <hailu> rm: cannot remove directory `/media/disk': Device or resource busy
[20:34] <mohan34u> is that disk mounted.. what 'mount' command saying?
[20:35] <dangyogi> update manager hangs.  Looks like it's in sudo.  ubuntu 8.10  -- it's still hung now
[20:35] <soundray> NinjaElf: cool :) good luck. Logging off, see you later.
[20:35] <EvilDennisR> dmacnutt: tv night at my place tonight.. Gonna watch harold and kumar 2
[20:35] <dmacnutt> ot! EvilDennisR
[20:35] <bysse> dangyogi:  have you tried apt-get?
[20:35] <EvilDennisR> ubuntu: So what happens when you boot..
[20:35] <esculayd4724> hello
[20:36] <EvilDennisR> !hi | dmacnutt
[20:36] <mgreen> hailu: this is for a disk that you "unmounted" before?
[20:36] <linuxviewer> I recently swapped a hard drive running the latest version of Ubuntu server to another computer (different MAC address for onboard NIC).  Where do I change the MAC address within Ubuntu server so that the two ports will work again?
[20:36] <lunaris> it is mounted
[20:36] <mgreen> hailu: you can check what process is locking it with 'fuser'
[20:36] <lunaris> brb
[20:36] <dangyogi> bysse: no
[20:36] <hailu> mgreen ah ok, new day, new command
[20:36] <ubuntu> ok, it boots normally for a while, til in the end appears a message about X server configuration problem
[20:37] <esculayd4724> Ok, after I am done downloading the .iso for the Desktop version I am going to burn it to a CD. So.. how will my drivers get there like for my wireless internet ?
[20:37] <bysse> dangyogi: try updating update-manager with apt-get (sudo apt-get install update-manager)
[20:37] <ubuntu> offers me an option to fix it but it can't
[20:37] <mgreen> hailu: yeah, we all wish umount would just say what app it is, wouldn't we...?
[20:37] <hailu> heh
[20:37] <mohan34u> lunaris: unmount it, and remount.. I hope that may work..
[20:38] <EvilDennisR> ubuntu: Eh? Walk me through what happens when you turn on your computer from the off state
[20:38] <unop> esculayd4724, ubuntu has a collection of drivers that it will try and use
[20:38] <mgreen> !nick | ubuntu
[20:38] <EvilDennisR> ubuntu: And yeah, change your nic to something less retarded
[20:38] <esculayd4724> who are you talking to?
[20:38] <amews_aj> How do I copy something to /usr/share/pixmaps/splash, I get permission denied

[20:40] <linuxviewer> How do I find out the MAC address of the two NICs (onboard) that I have with Ubuntu server?  will ifconfig -all display it?
[20:40] <dangyogi> bysse: "update-manager is already the newest version."
[20:40] <unop> linuxviewer, yes, you could also use ethtool
[20:41] <bysse> dangyogi: hmmm
[20:41] <ActionParsnip> hey all
[20:41] <EvilDennisR> linuxviewer: cat /sys/class/net/eth0/address

[20:41] <EvilDennisR> linuxviewer: cat /sys/class/net/eth1/address
[20:41] <TaoTeShaun> hopefully some one can help me. When I try to do updates to the system the updates fail to download and the system half locks up. i am unable to run any programs or exit the updater. i can continue to use whatever is running but have to reboot in order to make anything else run
[20:42] <tigerplug> :(
[20:42] <dangyogi> bysse: do I just need to report this as a bug?
[20:42] <amews_aj> EvilDennisR: I tried sudo cp file destination     Then the file is "copied" but the copy is not readable (image)
[20:42] <TaoTeShaun> i am also unable to install anything new as the same issue occurs
[20:42] <bysse> dangyogi: have you searched for a similar bug?
[20:42] <EvilDennisR> amews_aj: sudo chmod 644 foo/bar/somefile.jpg
[20:43] <dangyogi> bysse: not in the bugs area yet
[20:43] <ActionParsnip> im looking for a web interface for sound but I want the sound to stay on the remote system (not streaming to the client). XUL Remote for Amarok is similar but I want it to be controllable from mobile phone browsers which dont di XUL as yet. Can anyone please suggest a solution
[20:43] <jeffwheeler> ﻿Yes, Ubuntu. Please do randomly turn off and back on my monitors, and then one by one randomly quit applications.
[20:43] <amews_aj> EvilDennisR: thx
[20:44] <bysse> dangyogi: i'm not sure actually
[20:44] <TaoTeShaun> aptitude seem to run fine though
[20:44] <nogagplz> jeffwheeler: Somebody sounds like an unhappy camper.
[20:44] <onthefence928> is crossover worth buying? or is wine the same thing?
[20:44] <jeffwheeler> nogagplz: unfortunately. :(
[20:44] <ubuntu> are you serious ??
[20:45] <mgreen> onthefence928: check the application support before you buy

[20:45] <Mizzrim> i got question why my emerald doesint change my theme ? :((
[20:45] <mgreen> ActionParsnip: well, it depend on _which_ ones, right?
[20:45] <mgreen> depends*
[20:45] <nogagplz> onthefence928: Check the application database for Wine: http://appdb.winehq.org
[20:45] <ActionParsnip> mgreen: id get it for the support and interface
[20:46] <chriswr> phaverkamp: when i got it runing it did a bunch of listings and stuff then when it tries to pull up the screen all thats there is my mouse and it keeps swaping from a X to a regular mouse icon , you have any ideas on what to do?
[20:46] <onthefence928> mgreen, ActionParsnip, i'm just hoping to get easier support for playing windows games, i might move onto other windows apps if i find any i can't live without (doubt it)
[20:46] <FibonacciGold> XJman: Start out by downloading deb packages or source for ndiswrapper and then you need to download the specific driver from your manufacturer.
[20:47] <]Spectre[> how can I check if a driver is loaded and running under ubuntu ? I need to check if the driver for a wireless card ( AR242x 802.11abg Wireless PCI Express Adapter (rev 01)) is installed and working,can you help me ? thanks
[20:47] <mgreen> onthefence928: yes, what i meant was that you can check out the compatibility before you consider crossover

[20:49] <hailu> mgreen, i did "sudo umount -f /media/dev*", that did the trick
[20:49] <ActionParsnip> onthefence928: good support for multiple cd installs
[20:49] <FibonacciGold> XJman: Ok, cd into your ndiswrapper directory and then:  sudo ./configure      and  then    sudo make    and then    sudo make install

[20:52] <kosh> Spectre: Install "modconf" (sudo apt-get install modconf). Then run it on a terminal and search for the pci device.
[20:52] <evilbug> sorry, didn't switch to my IM window :|
[20:52] <XJman> FibonacciGold: It always gives me an error 2 and a whole army of warnings and errors no matter what I run form there
[20:53] <ActionParsnip> mgreen: i have no idea what that means. Just try them all see what you like, if all else fails have a small windows boot
[20:53] <ubuntu> Thanks I'll learn to chroot
[20:53] <sysdoc> grindhold: In FF tools>Addons
[20:53] <Sudowman> ubuntu I dont think that post from ubottu is what you need
[20:53] <FibonacciGold> XJman: Ok, does that happen everytime you use apt-get ?
[20:53] <fwaokda> I'm trying to remove a program via terminal and im getting this msg -- E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? -- how do i get rid of it???
[20:53] <FibonacciGold> XJman: Sorry, answered the wrong person :)
[20:53] <ubuntu> wasn't to me?
[20:54] <mgreen> ActionParsnip: i'm not the one who asked the question. check the history :) i was helping him
[20:54] <]Spectre[> thanks kosh!
[20:54] <Sudowman> ubuntu: explain to me what you want to do
[20:54] <FibonacciGold> XJman: Can you hard wire your laptop whilst installing ?
[20:54] <ubuntu> I'm about to reinstall it all
[20:54] <hwilde> is there a command line serial port terminal proggram?   like gtkterm but command line?
[20:54] <grindhold> FibonacciGold: the command didn't remove or install any packages
[20:54] <ubuntu> listen, how may I return to some configuration
[20:54] <wlievens> I'm running dapper, and it turns out that for most software I need there aren't any packages for recent versions
[20:54] <ubuntu> previously made, I didn't make bachups
[20:54] <kosh> Spectre: try not to change anything, just take a look. Then tell me if you could find it
[20:54] <grindhold> FibonacciGold: more funny is that i am able to use firefox and apt doesnt remark it as installed
[20:55] <wlievens> so I'm considering upgrading - if possible
[20:55] <Sudowman> ubuntu so you want to back up you're configuration, then reinstall ubuntu
[20:55] <wlievens> but this is a vps so I'm not sure I can even do that
[20:55] <grindhold> sysdoc: i tried this but i cant remove stuff there
[20:55] <]Spectre[> ok,I need to restart the system ,give me 10 minutes
[20:55] <]Spectre[> bye
[20:55] <ubuntu> no , I'm gonna reinstall ubuntu as a last resource
[20:55] <ubuntu> I don't have a clue
[20:55] <amenado> wlievens-> do you have enuff hd space for another linux install?
[20:55] <FibonacciGold> grindhold: How did you originally install flash ?
[20:56] <ubuntu> :-$
[20:56] <Sudowman> ubuntu then what were you saying about wanting to reinstall it all ?
[20:56] <Bernte> hello
[20:56] <grindhold> with the plugin dialogue of FF, FibonacciGold
[20:56] <fowarek> Is there anyway I can install ubuntu on a 4gb usb flash drive? Or any other version of ubuntu (kubuntu, xubuntu?). I installed slax on it but am disappointed.
[20:56] <XJman> FibonacciGold: Its a desktop, and its installed into a desk, it can't move from its position to an internet connection. Lets say for instance I run sudo /configure after cd into the directory I'll get 150 lines of errors
[20:56] <ubuntu> I said, I'm about to reinstall ubuntu, because I don't get a solution
[20:57] <FibonacciGold> grindhold: Well, unless you can uninstall it from there, I'm stumped. You could possible disable it in the preferences or info:plugins
[20:57] <Bernte> i?m looking 4 some german people who can help me installing ubuntu on an external hd drive
[20:57] <utabak> I was trying to set up a second monitor which I can use with my laptop screen, I would like to use two terminals on a wide screeen, My card is intel and I followed the xrandr help pages on intel web site though the laptop monitor seems to become the extended screen and the mmonitor I connected is the one with the login screen
[20:57] <bysse> fowarek: http://www.debuntu.org/how-to-install-ubuntu-linux-on-usb-bar
[20:57] <grindhold> hrmm FibonacciGold: in the end it doesn't really matter, because i prefer opera anyway :) i will configure flash in opera
[20:57] <th0r> !de | Bernte
[20:57] <ubuntu> I went to this city to live alone, I didn't know even how to cook, and ubuntu is asking me I learn to programme and make weird things
[20:58] <grindhold> FibonacciGold: sysdoc: thx for your help
[20:58] <fowarek> Thank you.
[20:58] <voo> et.org
[20:58] <FibonacciGold> grindhold: Ok, no worries.
[20:58] <Bernte> thnx
[20:58] <ubuntu> I just wanted to make a tour :-$
[20:58] <utabak> Can someone help me on this? I mean why is the laptop screen becomes the extended area rather than the monitor
[20:58] <mgreen> ubuntu, what's the issue, again? before you reinstall..
[20:58] <FibonacciGold> XJman: Well, you need to check the errors. You might be missing some dependencies
[20:58] <wlievens> amenado: yes
[20:59] <wlievens> amenado: 35gb something
[20:59] <linuxviewer> I had eth0/eth1 (onboard dual NIC) and then I changed motherboards.  Now, I have eth2/eth3.  How do I change eth2/eth3 to be known as eth0/eth1.  I went into /etc/network/interfaces and it wasn't in there
[20:59] <ubuntu> look, I started installing programs, from tar files, you know compiling all that stuff
[20:59] <ubuntu> because I wanted to install brasero, and it asked me to install another thing all the time to continue compiling
[21:00] <fowarek> Is there an alternative that I might be able to do it using windows?
[21:00] <mgreen> ubuntu: yes, dependencies can be daunting
[21:00] <ubuntu> ahh now you see
[21:00] <mgreen> but it's in the repositories?
[21:00] <mgreen> what's the issue at the moment?=
[21:00] <amenado> wlievens-> in your existing system, did you happen to have a separate /home partition?
[21:00] <ubuntu> so, I followed instructions from some website and edited fstab
[21:00] <]Spectre[> sorry kosh,I need to shutdown ,see you next time ,thanks!
[21:00] <yowshi> bugger forgot my ident pass
[21:01] <ubuntu> another mess, but I'm not surte what is the cause of this whole problem
[21:01] <LordMetroid> Someone knows of any repository one can use for a release which support has been dropped for_
[21:01] <mgreen> yes, but what is the issue at the moment?
[21:01] <mgreen> ubuntu: does it boot?
[21:01] <amenado> wlievens-> if you had, then you can install a new linux to a new partition, using  debootstrap the official installer for ubuntu
[21:01] <Jooboo> hey, i have 6.06, how do i upgrade to 8.04 with CD?
[21:01] <ubuntu> no, it starts to boot , but doesn't finish
[21:02] <amenado> Jooboo-> i suggest doing a fresh install..
[21:02] <ubuntu> I get a message, My X Server configuration si bad
[21:02] <sigma_12> can i get my computer to switch off after a certain period of no network card activity?
[21:02] <utabak> why is xrandr making the screen of my laptop the extended area and the connected monitor the primary area? Any ideas, or help
[21:02] <Jooboo> amenado, a fresh install doesnt work out so well, is there anyway to upgrad with CD?
[21:02] <mgreen> well, if this doesn't get resolved, remember to always make a backup copy of the configuration files you change
[21:02] <amenado> Jooboo-> how did you know fresh install does not work so well?
[21:03] <ubuntu> I don't even know which are configuration files and which are not JOJOOJO
[21:03] <bysse> linuxviewer: Take a look in /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules
[21:03] <db92> when im playing a video with srts, how do i modify the latency at which the subtitles come?
[21:03] <db92> using totem
[21:03] <mgreen> ubuntu: how much data/configuration will you lose by reinstalling?
[21:03] <Jooboo> amenado, i tried it, i have a weird old server box, it freezes on bootup of live CD, i just want to know how to install 8.04 from CD
[21:03] <ubuntu> 5GB ....
[21:03] <troythetechguy_> How can I install just the NV driver?
[21:03] <ubuntu> kinda, I'm losing my time huh?
[21:04] <amenado> Jooboo-> you dont have to use the liveCD to do a fresh install if you have an existing linux system, you can use debootstrap
[21:04] <EvilDennisR> ubuntu: So you just need to reconfigure your xserver it sounds like?
[21:04] <TaoTeShau1> sigh
[21:04] <ubuntu> aha
[21:04] <mgreen> ubuntu: yes, if you reinstall, how much do you have to install again to be where you want to be?
[21:04] <Jooboo> amenado, explain
[21:04] <ubuntu> how
[21:04] <ubuntu> exactly !
[21:04] <ubuntu> it's a big deal
[21:04] <mgreen> ubuntu: how long have you had this installation?
[21:04] <EvilDennisR> ubuntu: Your machine boots up, and tries to start X, it can't, then it gives you that blue box screen that says it can't start X, right ?
[21:05] <ubuntu> one month approx
[21:05] <EvilDennisR> ubuntu: Or does it take you to the xserver config low-resolution thing
[21:05] <Jooboo> amenado, what is debootstrap?
[21:05] <ubuntu> I put to install everything
[21:05] <amenado> Jooboo-> create a separate  ext3 partitions (two) one for new linux and /home ..then use debootstrap to install the basics sytem
[21:05] <mgreen> ubuntu: ok, so backup your home directory and reinstall? i wouldn't normally recommend it, but you seem to be on the verge to do it... ;)
[21:05] <ubuntu> it seem an australian word
[21:05] <amenado> Jooboo-> its the official ubuntu installer..you can install it via   sudo apt-get install debootstrap
[21:06] <ubuntu> truly
[21:06] <unop> sigma_12, i'm sure you could if you could whip up a shell script
[21:06] <ubuntu> so in home is my configuration?
[21:06] <mgreen> ubuntu: yes, all your firefox bookmarks, chatlogs and other configuration is in your home directory
[21:06] <Sudowman> mgreen: I dont think it would be too hard to fix X
[21:06] <bysse> ubuntu: be sure to get all ".*" directories
[21:06] <db92> when im playing a video with srts, how do i modify the latency at which the subtitles come? using totem
[21:07] <EvilDennisR> ubuntu: Y'know, maybe if you answered some of my questions I could help you fix this issue so you don't have to nuke your machine
[21:07] <Sudowman> ubuntu: do you know of any changes you made to x before it stopped working ?
[21:07] <mgreen> Sudowman: i don't think so either, i just want to make sure whatever data needs to be saved gets saved before someone makes a rash decision ;)
[21:07] <BananusM_> hi, does anybody know any working equalizer for ubuntu, a global one for whole system
[21:07] <ubuntu> I don't have the certainty made many compilations
[21:08] <ubuntu> plop
[21:08] <dmacnutt> BananusM_: equalizers generally are a per app basis
[21:08] <Sudowman> ubuntu: like mgreen says, back up your configuration first and then try to fix X
[21:08] <djcraigey> how stable is ubuntu
[21:08] <quaal> djcraigey, 42
[21:09] <cottima> hello, I am in the alternate install at the "Configuring Grub".  I have softRAID 1 and LVM.  Would someone help me with this?
[21:09] <BananusM_> then maybe a console based app with eq ?
[21:09] <FibonacciGold> djcraigey: How long is a piece of string....
[21:09] <djcraigey> 42?
[21:09] <quaal> cottima, disable softraid immediately.
[21:09] <cottima> quaal why?
[21:09] <dmacnutt> BananusM_: for example, I have a media player with an equalizer
[21:09] <Juul> djcraigey, on a scale from 1 to parasol: dry
[21:09] <djcraigey> string sizes vary :)
[21:09] <quaal> cottima, because it is shit
[21:09] <EvilDennisR> ubuntu: Your machine boots up, and tries to start X, it can't, then it gives you that blue box screen that says it can't start X, right ?
[21:09] <FibonacciGold> djcraigey: So does stability... depends on what you do with it really.
[21:10] <EvilDennisR> ubuntu: Or does it take you to the xserver config low-resolution thing
[21:10] <LordMetroid> 1379 people and no one uses any unofficial repositories for older version
[21:10] <cottima> does not smell like it
[21:10] <djcraigey> true :) was speaking in general in comparisson to vista for example.
[21:10] <cottima> quaal that does not tell me why I should disable it.
[21:10] <TaoTeShau1> ﻿djcraigey: i say its stable for a week... b/c i cant do anything right now and have no clue why it stopped working correctly
[21:10] <BananusM_> dmacnutt: does that media player has a name ?
[21:10] <goldins> what are the advantages of nfs4 over nfs3?
[21:11] <dmacnutt> BananusM_: it would, but I was using an example
[21:11] <dmacnutt> goldins: nfs4 is newer
[21:11] <EvilDennisR> ubuntu: Good idea, blow away your system and reinstall when you could of simply fixed your issue with a few commands..
[21:11] <djcraigey> TaoTeShau1 bugger thats not good
[21:11] <PatrickJ> hallo
[21:11] <PatrickJ> can anybody help me please to install a intel 3945abg wireless lan
[21:11] <TaoTeShau1> ﻿djcraigey: it was great before that though... switched for F9
[21:12] <TaoTeShau1> ﻿djcraigey: i mean switched from fedora
[21:12] <quaal> cottima how bout because it wont work in lounix?
[21:12] <djcraigey> ah right, but you'd say its worth a try ?
[21:12] <ubuntu> if you could explain it in english or spanish I'd understand it
[21:12] <djcraigey> even for like, a non-experienced linux user
[21:13] <fwaokda> when i try to go to any webpages i get an assertion error :( -- someone plz help PLZ!! :(
[21:13] <ubuntu> :P
[21:13] <BananusM_> dmacnutt: i know what you meant with apps, but i,ve found a HOWTO for making global equalizer with pulseaudio. The problem is that can't follow cause of dependencies
[21:13] <PatrickJ> can anybody help me please to install a intel 3945abg wireless lan ???
[21:13] <cottima> quaal Well, I do not use "lounix"
[21:13] <BananusM_> dmacnutt: i could use an app but i'dlike a terminal based one
[21:13] <FibonacciGold> PatrickJ: Have you tried ndiswrapper ?
[21:13] <BananusM_> dmacnutt: no GUI
[21:13] <hiptobecubic> man i give up on this flash encoding nonsense
[21:14] <mgreen> ubuntu: there is no magic fix for your problem, since no one here actually knows what you did. if you want to _fix_ your installation and not nuke it, you have to provide some information ;)
[21:14] <db92> when im playing a video with srts, how do i modify the latency at which the subtitles come? using totem? if someone answers please highlight else i dont see the answer :/
[21:14] <quaal> cottima, so why are you here
[21:14] <EvilDennisR> mgreen: Nobody knows what he did because he won't answer any questions as to whats wrong
[21:14] <EvilDennisR> "X is broken" is not an answer
[21:14] <EvilDennisR> So go ahead, blow away your machine! Everyone else is doing it!!
[21:14] <ubuntu> yeah I know, thanks anyway I was hoping a telepathic miracle
[21:15] <troythetechguy_> How can I tell what video driver I'm using?
[21:15] <amenado> its a trade off between time and hair pulling..
[21:15] <mgreen> EvilDennisR: i'm actually tinking it would save us all time if he did it
[21:15] <drewbert> I'm trying to set up named and I cannot find the error log.  Where is the named / bind9 error log?
[21:15] <cottima> quaal either give me a legitimate reason or be quiet.
[21:15] <EvilDennisR> mgreen: Naw, he should waste his own time by reinstalling.
[21:15] <quaal> cottima, i just told you
[21:15] <ubuntu> :-D
[21:15] <cottima> how?
[21:15] <quaal> cottima, but go ahead and use it.
[21:15] <amenado> drewbert-> did your config file say to do a syslog?
[21:15] <unop> DreamThief, /var/log/bind/ perhaps
[21:15] <mgreen> EvilDennisR: i'm not proposing we all fly to spain ;)
[21:16] <solexious> [Q] When using obex to browse my mobile, downloading a file stops partway and dissconnects, how can I fix this?

[21:16] <mgreen> EvilDennisR: sangria!
[21:16] <fuz> just curious, when is Firefox 3.0.1 coming out on Ubuntu
[21:16] <Sudowman> fuz you can be banned for that kind of talk
[21:17] <cottima> unop pretty good. just confused as always
[21:17] <ubuntu> spaniards are nuts , you rather go to a south american country
[21:17] <unop> ubuntu, stay on topic please
[21:17] <ubuntu> cheap chicks ;-)
[21:17] <fuz> the update manager lists nothing on firefox 3.0.1
[21:17] <unop> ubuntu, definitely stay on topic please
[21:17] <mgreen> bysse: we will get you one ubuntu pin if you fix "ubuntu"'s computer
[21:17] <unop> cottima, what's confusing you now?
[21:17] <ubuntu> ok, well, thanks eveybody I'm leaving
[21:17] <fuz> it's been out 6 days now!
[21:18] <blario6> Q Does anyone know how to get tv output to work in Ubuntu 8.04
[21:18] <goldins> dmacnutt: that's a fallacy.
[21:18] <mgreen> ubuntu: get a usb drive and backup your home directory. pronto.
[21:18] <dmacnutt> dmacnutt: so is the female orgasm!!
[21:18] <ubuntu> yeah I have partitions
[21:19] <goldins> dmacnutt: Vista is newer than VMS, and yet.
[21:19] <mgreen> dmacnutt - the sexually offensive bot
[21:19] <ubuntu> I'm not unlinked from monopoly at all
[21:19] <cottima> unop samething, but I am in the Ubuntu alternate install.  I do not know about grub.  It ask for a device.
[21:19] <marcules> hi there
[21:19] <troythetechguy_> To find which driver I"m using for my video card, I use lsmod, but can't remember the argument.
[21:19] <cottima> unop, should /dev/md0 work, or hd0 or hd0,0?
[21:20] <mgreen> troythetechguy_: no argument needed
[21:20] <blario6> Anyone know how to get tvoutput to work in ubuntu?
[21:20] <mgreen> troythetechguy_: you mean 'lspci'?
[21:20] <fuz> so no one knows when ubuntu will release a firefox 3.0.1 build then?
[21:20] <goldins> troythetechguy: you might want to grep it for like 'nv' if you have nvidia cards
[21:20] <spectre> kosh,I have found the problematic driver with modconf,it's under "madwifi" ,I have compared the working kernel with the non working one,the module /madwifi/ath-pci is not running with the newest kernel,I have tried to load it but modconf give me an error ( yes,I have used sudo modconf)
[21:20] <goldins> to find out if you have the nvidia kernel module loaded
[21:21] <troythetechguy_> mgreen: When I run lsmod I get a long list, and one items says video with a #.
[21:21] <mgreen> lsmod | grep ^nv
[21:21] <mgreen> troythetechguy_: that's following goldins tip
[21:21] <esculayd4724> when i install my ubuntu desktop edition, how can i get programs like office 2007 onto it?
[21:22] <sebastien> oopenoffice
[21:22] <blario6> How can I get TV Out to work with a Radeon 9250
[21:22] <goldins> esculayd4724: if you really want office 2007 you can use crossover or wine or vmware
[21:22] <esculayd4724> goldins: ok, thank you.
[21:23] <goldins> esculayd4724: but you should probably consider using linux alternative office suites, which will usually be more stable and fully compatible
[21:23] <goldins> esculayd4724: I only use crossover (and the real MS office) when I need to run vba scripts that I've already written
[21:23] <mgreen> esculayd4724: OpenOffice is included and can open those office files for you
[21:24] <esculayd4724> goldins: Thanks for the information.
[21:24] <mercutio22> Hi, I remover Adobe PDF reader and now I can't open PDF files by clicking on them. How can I make evince my default PDF reader? Preferred applications wont do.
[21:24] <mercutio22> I mean... * I removed* it

[21:25] <blario6> Does anyone know how to make tv output work in Ubuntu? I have a ATI Radeon 9250
[21:25] <troythetechguy_> Here's the latest.  I removed the proprietary Nvidia driver in 8.04, and installed Nvidia-glx from the repositories.  It appears this solved the issue with my display being overly bright, and fonts look decent now.  My question is, what's the difference in drivers?
[21:25] <inik> mercutio22: try "open with" menu item
[21:25] <syntax_> how do you install ati graphic driver on ubuntu linix
[21:25] <spectre> kosh,I have found the problematic driver with modconf,it's under "madwifi" ,I have compared the working kernel with the non working one,the module /madwifi/ath-pci is not running with the newest kernel,I have tried to load it but modconf give me an error ( yes,I have used sudo modconf)
[21:25] <blario6> syntax_ https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver
[21:26] <mercutio22> inik yeah, that works.. but how do I make them open directly instead of right clicking
[21:26] <ainze_> syntax_, I used EnvyNG (is in repositories)
[21:26] <ainze_> its an automated installer
[21:26] <mgreen> troythetechguy_: you tell us... you installed from the repositories?
[21:26] <inik> mercutio22: it make assosiation after first use
[21:26] <mercutio22> inik oh, great. Thanks
[21:27] <eyyYo> When I start up the live cd, I just get a terminal, not a gui. Is there any reason for this?
[21:28] <esculayd4724> Does anyone know how much it will affect my RAM if I install my Ubuntu Desktop edition on a different partition? So then I would be running Ubuntu, and XP.
[21:28] <flodin> i've been running ubuntu for a few weeks with compiz. Suddenly, I am no longer able to switch windows in irssi in gnome-terminal using alt+1 / alt+2 etc. I suspected it might be due to some compiz plugin so i disabled compiz and irssi works again. But even if i revert compiz to the default settings (set "visual effects" to "normal"), irssi misbehaves
[21:28] <inik> eyyYo: low of memmory? video card issue?
[21:28] <chombee> Anyone know how I can get OpenOffice to print to PDF? I know it has separate a PDF export function but that doesn't have the same options as printing (e.g. print slide notes in impress) so I need to setup a PDF printer
[21:28] <TaoTeShau1> hey, i'm havin a minor or serious problem here, depends on how you look at it. I am unable to use either the Update Manager, Add/Remove Applications, or Synaptics. all of them fail when downloading packages and lock the entire system in what appears to be a "read only" mode... i cannot launch any apps or even make a new file.
[21:28] <fazzy> hello
[21:28] <flodin> i'm stumped... it used to work just fine with default settings. Anyone else started started experiencing this recently?
[21:28] <CarlFK> from a command line, how can I disable the screen saver ?
[21:29] <flodin> i've even tried disabling all plugins, and no go
[21:29] <CarlFK> or at least wake it up
[21:30] <mgreen> esculayd4724: if you are dual booting, your RAM is not affected at all
[21:30] <blario6> I have a ATI Radeon 9250 how do I get the Tv Output to work?
[21:31] <hagus> Anyone know of any interesting developments in producing an OCR for Ubuntu?
[21:31] <Sudowman> TaoTeShau1: I dont know a fix, but you should be able to update and install packages from a terminal with apt-get
[21:31] <mgreen> esculayd4724: since you're only running one operating system at the moment, only one can use the ram
[21:31] <zyx386> how can is Disable Default key ring by wireless connection on ubuntu?any idea about that!
[21:31] <esculayd4724> mgreen: thank you very much.
[21:31] <TaoTeShau1> ﻿Sudowman: i did my updates about 10 min ago using aptitude
[21:32] <voyagers> Hi, which is the easyest irc proggy to configure for fish use ?
[21:32] <zyx386> voyagers, x-chat
[21:33] <flodin> hm never mind, i created a new user account and it works fine... i think i'll just have to wipe all the settings on my account and start over fresh
[21:33] <TaoTeShau1> ﻿Sudowman: do you know if this has happened to anyone else? and why would it work one day and not the next?
[21:33] <zyx386> this wireless default keyring make me crazy, how can i disable it ?
[21:33] <Steve^> Hi, is dual monitor support built into 8.04, or do I need to get something special (like envy)?
[21:33] <voyagers> x-chat on install disk ?
[21:34] <kane77> I have set the MAC address with command ifconfig hw ether.. is this permanent?
[21:34] <Sudowman> TaoTeShau1: no, I dont know.
[21:34] <inik> kane77: no
[21:34] <WatchDragon> can anyone tell me why when i change my theme (Gnome) if i log out or reboot, my theme is not saved
[21:34] <zyx386> voyagers, "apt-get install xchat
[21:35] <mgreen> !xchat
[21:35] <mgreen> ubotty: you should know. frequently asked.
[21:35] <blario6> are there any working drivers for Radeon 9250?
[21:35] <th0r> WatchDragon, I had that problem once...it is a permissions issue. One of your config files has the wrong permissions and the system can't write the changes to the drive
[21:35] <bysse> jupp
[21:35] <hwilde> !dualhead | Steve^
[21:35] <kane77> inik, how do I reset it?
[21:35] <hwilde> !xinerama | Steve^
[21:36] <generato1> can someone help a desperate newb with pure-ftp?
[21:36] <WatchDragon> hmm, th0r, any idea what file?
[21:36] <inik> kane77: maybe editing /etc/network/ifup  can help
[21:36] <Sudowman> !ask > generato1
[21:37] <Steve^> thanks hwilde
[21:37] <blario6> can someone please help me with Radeon drivers
[21:37] <Guest8605> Ahh, I just use the dapper repository for the edgy release...
[21:37] <th0r> WatchDragon, no...check the permissions on the files in .local and .gnome2 for starters...and don't forget to check the folder permissions as well
[21:37] <WatchDragon> ok
[21:37] <hwilde> Steve^, if you have nvidia it's a piece of cake with nvidia-settings
[21:38] <ConstyXIV> where's a list of webcams that ubuntu supports?
[21:38] <ingenieroariel> ./whois whois jtauber
[21:38] <Cobolt> blario6, what graphics card do you have?
[21:38] <th0r> WatchDragon, also check the .xsession files in your home directory...that rings a bell
[21:38] <Steve^> hwilde, but that doesn't come with the ubuntu version of the graphics drivers, only the ones you get through envy?
[21:38] <blario6> I have an ATI Radeon 9250 PCI I'm trying to install the drivers and also trying to get TV Out to work
[21:38] <genii> !hcl | ConstyXIV: You might find something about it here
[21:39] <generato1> can someone help me with pure-ftp and SSH?
[21:39] <blario6> Cobolt, I have an ATI Radeon 9250 PCI. I'm also trying to get the TV Out to work so I can watch movies on my tv
[21:39] <Cobolt> blario6, type 'glxgears' in the terminal and see if it runs smoothly
[21:40] <hwilde> !nvidia | Steve^
[21:40] <blario6> Cobolt, It's running smoothly
[21:40] <zerogate> hardy: i've installed nvidia-glx-new to enable proprietary drivers, but in the menu "restricted drivers" it says that there is no restricted driver to be installed
[21:41] <zerogate> *to be activated
[21:41] <tormod> hwilde: try "man passwd" and you'll find -l
[21:41] <Cobolt> blario6, then I wouldn't recommend installing proprietry drivers. I dont' know why your TV out isn't working. If you think that installing drivers could fix the issue try using envy
[21:41] <Sudowman> !ask | generato1
[21:41] <zleap> hmm typing glxgears causes my debian box to restart X
[21:41] <zerogate> does anybody know the reason for this?
[21:42] <Harakiri> hello there
[21:42] <Harakiri> Linux noob here
[21:42] <blario6> Cobolt, for some reason when I first start the computer up and the tv out cable is all plugged in it gives me the splash screen but then switches to the regular monitor at the login screen
[21:42] <Mirto> Hi All,
[21:42] <Cobolt> blario6, type apt-get install envyng, I think that's the name of the package, other wise type apt-cache search envy and see what is returned
[21:42] <h2os> running 64bit 8.04, anyone know 32bit net libs need inaddition to ia32-libs
[21:42] <Mirto> I need some help
[21:42] <Valera> ïðèâåò òóò êòî òî ãîâîðèò ïî ðóññêè
[21:42] <blario6> Cobolt, ok will try that now
[21:42] <tormod> zleap: what card and driver?
[21:42] <h2os> they split networking packages
[21:42] <Harakiri> wondering if anyone has having sound issues with gens emulator
[21:42] <Harakiri> most specifically no sound at all
[21:42] <zleap> nvidia
[21:43] <bysse> Mirto: just ask the question and pray that someone is "listening" :)
[21:43] <Mirto> I want to install Ubuntu on Acer Aspire 3000, anyone to help???
[21:43] <Cobolt> Harakiri, welcome to linux
[21:43] <Steve^> hwilde, I have the nvidia drivers that are provided through restricted hardware, but that doesn't give me nvidia-settings?
[21:43] <zleap> i gotr the driver from the nvidia site
[21:43] <generato1> i have ssh installed with pure-ftp. i start pure ftp with -Y 2 switch and I cannot get a connection on my local network. I get error 530. Any ideas
[21:43] <tormod> zleap: use the ubuntu one
[21:43] <Harakiri> thanks cobolt
[21:43] <Steve^> hwilde, only nvidia-xconfig
[21:43] <zleap> ok
[21:43] <Cobolt> Harakiri, I meant that in a sinister way :P
[21:44] <Harakiri> oh, i appreciate your honesty :)
[21:44] <TaoTeShau1> i've got a bad feeling about this...
[21:44] <bysse> Mirto: http://www.linux-on-laptops.com/hosted/acer-aspire-3000-ubuntu-gutsy.html - shouldn't be that different
[21:44] <Cobolt> Harakiri, for help with sound join #alsa
[21:44] <Harakiri> i feel secure for being here asking these questions
[21:44] <Harakiri> :)
[21:44] <Steve^> hwilde, (I'll just try installing it manually!)
[21:44] <hwilde> Steve^, sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings
[21:44] <blario6> Cobolt, is it the envyng-qt or -gtk command?
[21:45] <Sudowman> !ukr
[21:45] <Cobolt> blario6, -gtk is graphical user interface, use that one.
[21:45] <ndo> vbox
[21:45] <WatchDragon> hmm, thor, i change .gnome properties to owner, file access, read and write, then click apply permissions to all enclosed, but after i do that, the file access thing goes back to being blanks
[21:45] <Muff_Divr> hi
[21:45] <ndo> oups
[21:45] <blario6> Cobolt, thanks man!
[21:45] <mgreen> !nvidia > Steve^
[21:45] <Cobolt> blario6, after download and install run command "envyng" then follow the steps. Hope it helps.
[21:45] <Harakiri> i'm also having a hard time understanding the instalation process of musictracker
[21:46] <Mirto> yes, I know, but then - how you download older versions of ubuntu???
[21:46] <Muff_Divr> can i use an ipod with ubuntu?
[21:46] <th0r> WatchDragon, you probably have to change them using sudo in a terminal...that is probably why you can't save the changes
[21:46] <blario6> Cobolt, ok thanks again!
[21:46] <th0r> WatchDragon, who is the owner of those files?
[21:46] <arooni-mobile> i am running ubuntu hardy (with compiz on) on a computer i assembled (brand new seagate 300gb pata drive, asus p5ne-sli with nforce chipsets, 2GB of crucial RAM, nvidia geforce 7950 pciexpress card). it has been doing things like: switching file system to read only randomly, randomly restarting, and freezing up.  i have already tried: running seagate diagnostic tools (no errors), memtest 86+ for 8 hours (no errors), replacing
[21:46] <WatchDragon> i am
[21:46] <bysse> Mirto: Why should you use an older version?
[21:46] <arooni-mobile>  the PATA cable with a new one, running fsck on the hard drive (repairing a bunch of errors).  this problem continues to happen.... what should i do now?
[21:46] <Cobolt> blario6, hehe, I'm also a novice but I try. good night, hope it works.
[21:46] <gordonjcp> Mirto: I'd try xubuntu, if it's fairly old and slow
[21:46] <solexious> [Q] When using obex to browse my mobile, downloading a file stops partway and dissconnects, how can I fix this?
[21:46] <Mirto> well, I installed HH and so many things dont work
[21:47] <Mirto> so on the : http://www.linux-on-laptops.com/hosted/acer-aspire-3000-ubuntu-gutsy.html - it says G is all right
[21:47] <th0r> WatchDragon, you should be the owner of those files, and they should be read/write only for you
[21:47] <WatchDragon> hmm, what is it in console again, sudo chmod 777 *.* or something?
[21:47] <Mirto> but I mean - I dont know much about...
[21:47] <ubuntu> can someone help me with network manager icon disappeared?
[21:48] <Harakiri> does anyone have "musictracker" installed?
[21:48] <th0r> WatchDragon, the folders should be 600 and the files should be 644 from what I see in mine
[21:48] <inik> ubuntu: try network-admin command
[21:49] <open_sauce> Muff_Divr, most music apps should work well with an ipod, for example rhythmbox, amarok etc but you may need to stick to mp3 format for compatability
[21:49] <Harakiri> i have a frozen process
[21:49] <Sudowman> !ipod
[21:49] <Mirto> so ok, if I have already hardy heron - I try to install eg xChat and it sais cannot be installed on your computer...
[21:49] <th0r> WatchDragon, and be aware I am running xfce so I don't have some of the gnome directories/files in my computer
[21:49] <bysse> Mirto: what doesn't work when you've installed hardy?
[21:49] <mgreen> ubuntu: are you the same ubuntu that thought about nuking your system a while ago?
[21:49] <WatchDragon> word
[21:49] <generato1> I would like some assistance with setting up SSH and pure-ftp. i think i am almost there but i get error 530 on my filezilla client. Anybody.......
[21:50] <ubuntu> no i'm not
[21:50] <bysse> mgreen: hehe
[21:50] <Harakiri> and i wanted to release this process, does anyone have a quick way to do so?
[21:50] <mgreen> ubuntu: please change your nickname
[21:50] <ubuntu> ok
[21:50] <Mirto> so should I do sth else to install it???
[21:50] <WatchDragon> i should just switch to E! or something
[21:50] <ubuntu> \nick vincenzo
[21:50] <Mirto> I mean to install applications?
[21:51] <th0r> WatchDragon, I used to love E! before they started messing with it
[21:51] <mgreen> vincenz1: thank you
[21:51] <tormod> Harakiri: frozen like hung, and you want to kill it?
[21:51] <Harakiri> tormod
[21:51] <Harakiri> exactly
[21:51] <bysse> Mirto: please prefix with the name of whom you're speaking to. easier to follow
[21:51] <WatchDragon> what happened to it, its been about 7 years sence i seen it
[21:51] <Harakiri> 3 "gens" windows
[21:51] <vincenz1> I can activate wifi from laptop button but I can't see the icon anymore
[21:51] <Mirto> bysse: like that?
[21:51] <Harakiri> if you allow me to call it that way :)
[21:51] <jeffwheeler> When would writing to a FIFO fail? `echo "test" > /tmp/svnpipe` sits idly after starting as root. Running with sudo instead (of su) gets a permission denied error.
[21:51] <bysse> Mirto: Yes thanks. Is the problem that you can't install new applications?
[21:51] <tormod> Harakiri: find the pid with ps aux and then kill pid
[21:51] <mgreen> Mirto: exactly
[21:52] <th0r> WatchDragon, they are trying to come out with E17, but it looks to be too much like kde. E16 is still in the ubuntu repos and I do have it installed...but it is so much trouble to configure
[21:52] <WatchDragon> ahh
[21:52] <SeveredCross> E17 isn't all that much like KDE.
[21:52] <arooni-mobile> um i cant run fsck :(.  sudo fsck -y /dev/sda2 :  attempting to read block from file system resuloted in a short read while tryigng to open /dev/sda2.  could this be a 0 length partition?
[21:52] <Chad> Help! I enabled the graphics driver from the drivers windows and now ubuntu doesn't boot.
[21:52] <SeveredCross> It's KDE-ish in the sense that there's LOTS of configurationo ptions.
[21:52] <SeveredCross> But it does look nice.
[21:52] <Mirto> bysse: that is the problem. indeed
[21:53] <Chad> Right now I'm booting from the live CD
[21:53] <mgreen> th0r: what's the lure of e17, anyway? different toolkit than gtk+ and qt?
[21:53] <bysse> Mirto: okej, you can use the update-manager through a gui or apt-get through a terminal
[21:53] <WatchDragon> i want to mess with beryl too, but i donno if the gutsy release will run on hardy
[21:53] <th0r> SeveredCross, I kind of lost interest in it when I looked at what had to be installed to get it running. I used to run it as it was one of the quickest around, but now xfce gives me just about the same thing
[21:53] <th0r> mgreen, no...I don't like loading down my cpu with overhead
[21:54] <mgreen> !apt-get | Mirto
[21:54] <SeveredCross> th0r: Yeah, there's a whole big mess that is necessary to install it.
[21:54] <SeveredCross> It does look nice though, even on low-powered machines.
[21:54] <Chad> What do i do? how do I disable the graphics driver, at the state it's in i cannot even run ubuntu!
[21:54] <bysse> mgreen: yeah synaptic was the thing i was looking for
[21:54] <Mirto> bysse: thx guys
[21:54] <ZEU> what is this core.21572  core.22578  core.23264
[21:54] <th0r> SeveredCross, agreed...there isn't anything prettier than a proper E install
[21:54] <open_sauce> Chad, is your normal hard drive mounted? can you see an icon for it on the desktop?
[21:54] <Chad> open_sauce: no
[21:54] <bysse> !Synaptic | Mirto
[21:54] <mgreen> th0r: i'm not one to judge, normally, but nowadays cpu load is the least to worry about
[21:55] <th0r> mgreen, well...to each his own
[21:55] <bysse> Mirto: np
[21:55] <hiptobecubic> mgreen, so i'm discovering that the problem with accents in flash has to do with xkb i think. Do you use a keyboard layout that allows you to input accents using keycombinatinos?
[21:55] <mgreen> th0r: indeed. i've been on fluxbox for a couple of years
[21:55] <Chad> open_sauce: I have no idea what i should do.
[21:55] <mrcollins> mgreen: fluxbox?
[21:56] <mgreen> hiptobecubic: nice work! i'll look into it
[21:56] <mgreen> mrcollins: yes, check it out if you're low on resources
[21:56] <th0r> mgreen, I need to try some of those...fluxbox, blackbox, ice...got into E when it was the hottest thing around, and moved to xfce when they left E16 to work on E17...and haven't looked at the others
[21:56] <mgreen> mrcollins: though, xfce is recommended
[21:56] <open_sauce> chad, can you launch a terminal window? are you familar with the terminal?
[21:56] <Mirto> ubottu: the thing is that i can read those, but I cant understand much - beginnings are always hard
[21:57] <hiptobecubic> mgreen, if you just paste in accents that have already been typed, they show up correctly (on my box anyway). so the issue must be something with how flash is reading keystrokes? or how x is reading them?
[21:57] <unop> jeffwheeler, you need to open up named pipes on the FIFO to be able to read/write from it.
[21:57] <Chad> open_sauce: yeah i'm familiar with it, and yes i can launch it
[21:57] <jeffwheeler> unop: yep, thanks; I had nothing reading from it (#bash knew)
[21:57] <vincenz1> no help for nm icon disappeared?
[21:57] <mgreen> th0r: yes, xfce is nice, indeed, but i've found that i'm missing out on the latest advancements of ubuntu when using xfce
[21:57] <Sudowman> Mirto: ubottu is a robot. You did know that didn't you?
[21:57] <maddog> hi guys hw do i get my bottom task bar back i got rid of it thinking i could get it back .now i cant see things on minimize
[21:58] <mgreen> !botsnack | Mirto
[21:58] <maddog> any help would be nice
[21:58] <open_sauce> chad: ok, launch terminal and type df -h   to list mounted drives and see if you can spot your main drive mounted, looking at size column might help you identify it
[21:58] <th0r> mgreen, agreed...but I hate to throw in all those support libs for gnome. I usually keep up with what is on sourceforge and freshmeat and am not above compiling my own
[21:58] <unop> jeffwheeler, here's something that could help too.  http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/programming-9/bash-inputoutput-redirect-problem-515156/
[21:58] <Folk_Theory> maddog:
[21:58] <Folk_Theory> click on the top one
[21:58] <Folk_Theory> *right click it
[21:59] <Folk_Theory> and select new pane;
[21:59] <Folk_Theory> *panel
[21:59] <Chad> open_sauce: they are all under 500M
[21:59] <bysse> Mirto: Did you manage to get synaptic up and running?
[21:59] <mgreen> th0r: yes, but those support libs don't actually bog your cpu 'til you actually use them... but you're a developer, i guess, so you already knew that ;)
[21:59] <th0r> mgreen, right. (not a developer...just an old hand <smile>)
[21:59] <BOZG> Are there any good programmes for Ubuntu for creating PDFs?
[22:00] <maddog> i done that but i cant see my windows minamized
[22:00] <Folk_Theory> BOZG: try open office writer
[22:00] <jeffwheeler> BOZG: from what?
[22:00] <th0r> BOZG, openoffice
[22:00] <Chad> open_sauce: oh hey I mounted it by going to places, I mounted the drive with ubuntu installed on it
[22:00] <mgreen> hiptobecubic: well, that's what's so vexing... i guess a bug report would be in place
[22:00] <open_sauce> chad: nice!
[22:00] <Mirto> bysse: too much noice for me, I will find my way though.
[22:00] <hiptobecubic> mgreen, i'm not sure how to do that. i was going to make a forum post and see if anyone has had/fixed this issue
[22:00] <NiMa91> (woah, 1358 users) hi there, I just switched from an ACPI motherboard to a weird non-ACPI motherboard and now, not only will GRUB not even load, but trying to use a ubuntu 7.10 disc in it with acpi=off caused it to spout some sort of APIC time error and freeze
[22:01] <Mirto> bysse: thanx for help anyway
[22:01] <open_sauce> chad: try to df -h again and see if you can see it listed
[22:01] <NiMa91> I take it changing motherboard was a _bad_ idea
[22:01] <maddog> is there anyone nice enough to use my remote desk top and sort my system out ?
[22:01] <Abed> i have a question ... i am using mgg321 and oggenc for converting MP3s and OGGs but wut in need a .sh file so that it will do a specific operation to get each file in a folder and process it so any one??
[22:01] <Chad> open_sauce: another guy earlier was trying to help me set up my graphics and we could not do it every time i used the driver from the driver window it made it go black screened at login
[22:01] <mgreen> hiptobecubic: yes, after searching, that's great if you would :)
[22:01] <bysse> Mirto: ok good luck
[22:01] <Chad> open_sauce: yeah its mounted now
[22:01] <mgreen> hiptobecubic: unfortunately, i don't think adobe is included in upstream :(
[22:02] <itrebal> when upgrading to 8.04, might localedef take a /very/ long time to run?
[22:02] <zerogate> after enabling my nvidia glx drivers my ubuntu hardy launches in low graphics mode - anybody?
[22:02] <NiMa91> GRUB just shows a blinking cursor at the top-left, then prints "GRUB" and does nothing
[22:02] <hiptobecubic> mgreen, i've been searching for days. should it just be in general help or what?         what do you mean by not included in upstream?
[22:02] <mgreen> itrebal: this seems to be a common problem
[22:02] <open_sauce> chad: ok the last column shown by df -h is where it is mounted, can you CD to that directory?
[22:02] <itrebal> mgreen: any suggested solution?
[22:02] <maddog> waiting for help
[22:02] <bysse> Abed: you just want to loop through all files in a directory and executing a command for each file right?
[22:02] <Chad> open_sauce: btw i have a ATI radeon x1650 pro agp 512 mb card
[22:02] <mgreen> itrebal: not that i know of, unfortunately :(
[22:02] <Folk_Theory> maddog: click on top panel and select new panel
[22:02] <Folk_Theory> right click it i mean
[22:02] <unop> Abed, for file in *.mp3; do convert_command "$file" "${file//.mp3/.ogg}"; done
[22:02] <itrebal> mgreen: is this a recoverable issue?
[22:03] <isleshocky78> Has anyone have a tutorial for compiling MySQL workbench on Ubuntu or know of a built package?
[22:03] <Abed> bysee, yeah
[22:03] <Chad> open_sauce: k i opened up the drive directory
[22:03] <bysse> Abed: http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Bash-Prog-Intro-HOWTO-7.html#ss7.1
[22:03] <open_sauce> chad: Im probably not gonna be able to get your graphics card set up correctly, but hopefully can at least get it to boot again
[22:03] <mgreen> hiptobecubic: upstream is just what it sounds like. application developer > distribution (ubuntu) > user
[22:03] <maddog> folk i did that mate its just not showing minamized windows anymore :(
[22:03] <Abed> bysse , unop, thnx
[22:03] <open_sauce> chad: ok, can you see a directory in there called etc?
[22:04] <Chad> open_sauce: yeah
[22:04] <itrebal> mgreen: if i were to kill localedef, would it survive?
[22:04] <bysse> Abed: np, ask if you have more troubles
[22:04] <mgreen> itrebal: i don't know of a workaround or fix, sorry
[22:04] <itrebal> ok, thanks
[22:04] <Abed> bysse, indeed i have a trouble with my bluetooth can u help me or no?
[22:04] <open_sauce> chad: cd into etc/X11
[22:04] <mgreen> itrebal: any successes you have in this issue, please let us know. there have been at least three people today reporting the same issue
[22:04] <vincenz1> mrgreen can you help me?
[22:04] <NiMa91> also, on a more relevant-to-current-flow-of-questions note, every time I update X, it installs the main ubuntu version of nvidia-glx-new, but not the kernel module, and I'm using nvidia's own package for both, so it ends up breaking my X setup every time it updates
[22:04] <Chad> open_sauce: k i did
[22:04] <bysse> Abed: don't think i can, haven't had bluetooth for a while. But whats the problem?
[22:05] <open_sauce> chad: then do ls -l to list files, Im hoping alongside an xorg.conf that a backup had been made like xorg.conf.somethingelsehere
[22:05] <Abed> bysse, i can't enable the bluetooth radio
[22:05] <mgreen> vincenz1: do you have the icon back if you reboot your system?
[22:05] <NiMa91> what would be the best way to either get it to use the ubuntu kernel module or the nvidia X driver?
[22:05] <Abed> bysse, at all
[22:05] <Thoku> HI all
[22:05] <itrebal> mgreen: my system isn't going to be bricked though, right? it'll be repairable?
[22:05] <open_sauce> chad: thats a letter l not a number 1 (sorry not sure what level you are at so being careful)
[22:05] <mgreen> vincenz1: i don't actually know what's supposed to happen when you press the hardware button for you wifi card to deactivate it
[22:05] <vincenz1> mr green I tried . no!
[22:06] <bysse> Abed: sorry never done that, don't even have bluetooth atm
[22:06] <LocutusOfBorg> hello
[22:06] <Thoku> I'm looking for a script that can sort music files into a Rhythmbox type structure. It needs to be headless
[22:06] <Chad> open_sauce: i got a file named xorg.conf.bak
[22:06] <mgreen> vincenz1: so, you've had it working, pressed the button, and you can no longer use your wifi card?
[22:06] <Folk_Theory> yo
[22:07] <open_sauce> chad: awesome, does the date on it look like around the time you tried to get the drivers working?
[22:07] <unop> Thoku, what is the "rhythmbox type structure" ?
[22:07] <vincenz1> mr green all is happened when I tried to use the button to swith off the radio on laptop. now I can torn on via terminal but the icon is disappeared. the notify area is ok
[22:07] <Thoku> unop: /artist/album/song.mp3
[22:07] <Chad> open_sauce: yeah
[22:07] <unop> !info lltag
[22:07] <unop> Thoku, ^^
[22:08] <mgreen> vincenz1: what machine are you on? have you tried searching google?
[22:08] <WatchDragon> oh, what is the mp3 player to have? i used winamp when i was in windows... is it still xmms?
[22:08] <unop> WatchDragon, xmms is being phased out .. audacious maybe
[22:08] <Folk_Theory> watchDragon: try amarok
[22:08] <mgreen> WatchDragon: use the default :)
[22:08] <unop> WatchDragon, or BMP
[22:08] <Folk_Theory> lol
[22:08] <open_sauce> chad: ok lets first make a backup of your non-working xorg.conf file (btw thats the xserver graphics configuration file), to do this type: sudo cp xorg.conf xorg.conf.notworking
[22:09] <mgreen> WatchDragon: if that doesn't do it for you, try amarok or the others
[22:09] <WatchDragon> default? rythembox music player? hehe
[22:09] <Folk_Theory> might as well add banshee
[22:09] <open_sauce> chad: you will need to enter your password for this
[22:09] <Folk_Theory> mp3 players wars!
[22:09] <mgreen> hehe
[22:09] <Thoku> WatchDragon: I need to run it without a gui :P
[22:09] <BOZG> Folk_Theory, thor, jeffwheeler: Thanks.
[22:09] <Folk_Theory> glad to be of help, BOZG
[22:09] <bysse> WatchDragon: i was sceptic of rhythmbox at first, but it works fine
[22:10] <vincenz1> mr green I searched but no answer. I'm on a laptop with centrino 512 of RAM the wireless card is ASUS I remember
[22:10] <mgreen> WatchDragon: agree with bysse... works fine... depending on your needs
[22:10] <Folk_Theory> watchDragon, default = rythmbox
[22:10] <mgreen> Folk_Theory: yes, thanks
[22:10] <itrebal> mgreen: i can't even /kill/ the process, 've used killall and kill -9
[22:10] <vincenz1> mr green the same thing just happened on other laptop toshiba
[22:10] <bysse> itrebal: sudo kill -9 ?
[22:11] <unop> itrebal, do you get any error messages?
[22:11] <itrebal> unop: no
[22:11] <generato1> sorry had to leave my pc.....i am at work.. does anyone have any experience with implementing ssh with pure-ftp?
[22:11] <itrebal> bysse: yes
[22:11] <mgreen> itrebal: what process are you trying to kill?
[22:11] <unop> kill -9 should never ever be used
[22:11] <itrebal> mgreen: localedef
[22:11] <Chad> open_sauce: cp: cannot stat `xorg.conf': No such file or directory
[22:11] <maddog> ok you kind people does anyone use aMSN ?
[22:11] <Thoku> Chad: its in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[22:11] <mgreen> itrebal: well, i don't think this is recoverable...
[22:11] <bysse> maddog:  no
[22:11] <NiMa91> so, uh, yeah, no ACPI on new motherboard, and neither GRUB nor Ubuntu 7.10 (or something) livecd from the previous installation will run (I tried using acpi=off), any ideas people?
[22:11] <mgreen> if i were you, i'd wait until this issue is resolve
[22:11] <mgreen> resolved*
[22:12] <open_sauce> chad: type pwd and tell me what it says your current folder is please
[22:12] <maddog> ok i wont ask that again hehehehe
[22:12] <bysse> maddler: :)
[22:12] <bysse> maddog: :)
[22:12] <vincenz1> ?
[22:12] <maddog> ok more technical question
[22:12] <maddog> :)
[22:12] <mgreen> itrebal: backup your home directory while you can
[22:12] <itrebal> mgreen: not really an option, i don't think :/ oy, crap, ok
[22:12] <jordo2323_> How do I find which specific kernel version I am running from the command line?
[22:12] <hwilde> jordo2323, uname -a
[22:12] <Chad> open_sauce: /home/ubuntu
[22:13] <bysse> hwilde: fast one :)
[22:13] <_Brun0_> can anyone help me with sbackup ?
[22:13] <unop> jordo2323, uname -sr
[22:13] <Xazzza2> How do i create a new xorg file?
[22:13] <jordo2323_> Thanks
[22:13] <hwilde> !xorg | Xazzza2
[22:13] <maddog> i have all the cool and great graphics that come with ubuntu 8 but i tried to open them up and i cant see any diferance at all appart from wobbly windows
[22:13] <open_sauce> chad: ah thats why, at this point we want to be in your mounted drive folder, and then cd to etc/X11
[22:13] <amrik> hi i installed nvidia drivers using envy and now i cannot enable extra graphical effects under appearance. I don't think XGL is working correctlyt
[22:13] <hwilde> Xazzza2, sry.. that wasn't the link I wanted.      sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[22:13] <amrik> glxgears also does not work
[22:14] <_Brun0_> how can I know the progress of a running backup in sbackup?
[22:14] <inik> Xazzza2: if you remove old one, new file will created after restart
[22:14] <Folk_Theory> maddog: download a program called something like compizconfig-manager
[22:14] <Xazzza2> Thanks mate
[22:14] <WatchDragon> ha, i needed a codec, dumb me, and my fist song that plays is AC/AD - big balls, lol
[22:14] <open_sauce> :chad under df -h, the last column tells you where your main drive is mounted, can you cd to it in the terminal?
[22:14] <maddog> i got it
[22:14] <Folk_Theory> using add/remove programs utilitiy
[22:14] <Chad> open_sauce: i have my x11 foler open right now
[22:14] <itrebal> is there a Recommended Way of enabling/disabling locales?
[22:14] <Folk_Theory> right
[22:14] <Chad> open_sauce: how do i cd it?
[22:14] <Folk_Theory> play with it and experiment, and youll see the differences
[22:14] <maddog> im just to thick to understand how to use it .i tick the boxes but dont see any diferance :)
[22:14] <generato1> Sudowman.....am i going about this the worong way?
[22:15] <open_sauce> chad: are you looking at X11 as a folder on the desktop or in the terminal?
[22:15] <Folk_Theory> also the official compiz website has really good explanations of what every effect does
[22:15] <Chad> open_sauce: desktop
[22:15] <amrik> can someone help me with getting nvidia drivers working on 2.6.24-19 kernel?
[22:15] <Folk_Theory> some options' names are very non-descriptive but the website describes them much better
[22:15] <mgreen> maddog: some of the effects you have to manually activate
[22:16] <mgreen> maddog: it usually says which key combination to use
[22:16] <bysse> maddog: look at the configuration application folk gave you. You can define shortcuts there
[22:16] <maddog> so do you have to press the short cut keys to use the effects ?
[22:16] <mgreen> !nvidia | amrik
[22:16] <Thoku> amrik: As far I know there isn't a problem with them.
[22:16] <bysse> amrik: shouldn't be a problem, i'm using nv drivers on that kernel
[22:16] <Folk_Theory> maddog: yes but i always change which keys to use to more convinient ones
[22:17] <open_sauce> chad: we need to do this in the terminal as we need root access to backup / restore the xorg.conf file so, when you type df -h in the terminal can you look at the last column to see where your main drive is mounted?
[22:17] <amrik> i think it might be because i am using an 8800
[22:17] <kindofabuzz> why does the supported version of xchat in the repos suck?  the non supported on is the best
[22:17] <maddog> i see .god im mentaly challanged hehehe
[22:17] <esculayd4724> hello.
[22:17] <amrik> mgreen: ubuntu does not recognize the card; there is no option to use the restricted driver
[22:17] <Folk_Theory> only for some. obviously like writing in fire requires activation. otherwise every time you move your mouse therell be fire all over....
[22:17] <Chad> open_sauce: /media/disk
[22:17] <boobsbr> howdy, is there an app to make screencaps of a video on linux]? like wmp classic does?
[22:18] <amrik> mgreen: could it be because i just downgraded from 2.6.26 where the nvidia driver was manually installed?
[22:18] <bob3213243_> !love
[22:18] <open_sauce> chad: ok great, so on the command line type cd /media/disk/etc/X11
[22:18] <Folk_Theory> hey noone was born knowing any of this....we all learn give it time   =)
[22:18] <bob3213243_> !piracy
[22:18] <Chad> open_sauce: k i did
[22:18] <mgreen> amrik: you've only updated when the update-manager told you to, right?0
[22:19] <maddog> well guys you made an ubuntu newbie a happy guy
[22:19] <mgreen> maddog: great :)
[22:19] <Folk_Theory> =)
[22:19] <open_sauce> chad: ok, now is you type ls -l    can you see both xorg.conf and xorg.conf.bak?
[22:19] <bysse> maddog: hehe
[22:19] <Folk_Theory> >.<
[22:19] <esculayd4724> lol
[22:19] <Chad> open_sauce: yup
[22:19] <maddog> hey i guess ill be on again tomorrow asking more questions :)
[22:20] <maddog> any one want my dare i say it vista hehehehe
[22:20] <Sudowman> generato1: if you want someone to help you,  you need to give exact details, particularly with networking issues. like the configuration, what software you're using, what exactle you're trying to do, and the error you get. (more descriptive than just 503)
[22:20] <open_sauce> chad: great. now type sudo cp xorg.conf xorg.conf.notworking
[22:20] <troythetechguy_> Is the nvidia-glx-new driver the same driver that gets installed when selecting system/admin/Hardware Drivers from the GUI menu in 8.04?
[22:20] <Reformer81> Is there some way to have my desktop icons automatically arranged on the top or right of the screen?
[22:21] <Chad> open_sauce: k i did
[22:21] <salah> Hi. What does "Call to a member function Query() on a non-object in /var/www/dvb-tv/classes/Db.class.php" mean?
[22:21] <Chad> open_sauce: ha and i see in the file window the notworking file there now
[22:21] <unop> salah, question for #php
[22:21] <salah> sorry, I tough I was in #php, I am sorry
[22:22] <open_sauce> chad: that means you have a copy of where you got to, even though it was broken, just in case you want to refer to it, next we will restore from your backup by typing: sudo cp xorg.conf.bak xorg.conf
[22:22] <mgreen> salah: it means that there is something wrong with your application
[22:22] <boobsbr> is there an app to make screencaps of a video on linux]? like wmp classic does?
[22:22] <Chad> open_sauce: k done
[22:22] <mgreen> salah: it usually is an incompatibility issue between different versions of packages
[22:23] <go1> boobsbr: something like recordmydesktop might work.
[22:23] <Folk_Theory> also istanbul
[22:23] <open_sauce> chad: ok, now you need to try rebooting without the cd, I hope that works for you, I've got to go now, if that doesnt work then you probably want to ask "how do I reconfigure X", good luck mate
[22:23] <Folk_Theory> the program
[22:23] <boobsbr> go1: no no, open a video file and take screencaps of it at regular intervals
[22:24] <supertanker> Are there drivers for the 3D Prophet series of cards by Hercules?
[22:24] <Chad> open_sauce: ty for you help, I hope this works
[22:24] <supertanker> I seem to be having difficulties finding an Ubuntu driver for my 4000xt (64MB version)
[22:24] <boobsbr> it's hard searching for this on google
[22:24] <open_sauce> chad: good luck, and may the force be with you
[22:24] <Folk_Theory> boobsbr: search on synaptic
[22:24] <Folk_Theory> theres plenty of apps for this
[22:25] <go1> boobsbr: Do you mean a scheduled recording?
[22:25] <boobsbr> go1: no, i have a video file, i would like to generate thumbnails from it, to make a preview

[22:29] <pale-yafa> go1: ok will try

[22:30] <Blaqlight> what is wrong with monospace, some of the characters turn to gibberish.

[22:31] <bysse> hiptobecubic: nice nick on the forums :)
[22:31] <Knifa> Pici: that would work but it still uninstalls it before installing it again
[22:31] <Knifa> i need to be able to install right over the top of the original
[22:31] <Knifa> without bothering with the uninstallation
[22:31] <boobsbr> go1: well, that would work too
[22:31] <hiptobecubic> bysse, it's a long story. :D
[22:31] <boobsbr> go1: separate imgfiles or one imgfile with the smaller thumbs on it, either way would work

[22:36] <NiMa91> oh, here's another one: my dad's kubuntu installation suddenly started running extremely slowly, producing massive kernel logs (mostly concerned with not being able to shut a fan off) and wouldn't shut down properly. From what I've researched it's a kernel bug or something, but can someone elaborate? (it's a P4 2.4GHz on a Trigem Imperial-G with no case fans)
[22:36] <go1> Ahorner: There are some backup tools that will create a disk image of your curren system that you can burn on a CD.

[22:37] <hiptobecubic^> modem reset
[22:37] <go1> Ahorner: Or you can use the "dd" command.
[22:37] <mrguitarmann> Ahorner - I don't believe so, as you are running 7.10 none of your packages would match what is in the 8.04 tree...
[22:37] <camaron> hola
[22:37] <Ahorner> mrguitarmann: im running 8/04 now
[22:37] <Ahorner> go1Ldd?
[22:38] <mrguitarmann> Ah...

[22:38] <pale-yafa> is there any program I can just use to watch tv from my cable on my monitor
[22:38] <pale-yafa> go1: why do I need to create a database?
[22:38] <df00z> How do I install the java plugin?  I have openjdk installed
[22:39] <mrguitarmann> Ahorner: there may be some packages cached but I'm not sure how long they stay on your system for... Anyone else?
[22:39] <df00z> i tried libgcjplugin but it doesn't work, applets just freeze
[22:39] <go1> pale-yafa: I don't know much about this program.
[22:39] <df00z> if i was using sun's jdk, i'd be doing a ln -s in firefox's s plugin dir
[22:39] <go1> pale-yafa: What do you want to do with it?
[22:40] <mrguitarmann> You could always try jigdo - it downloads the packages a bit at a time, and pieces together an ISO from it... failing that, get an 8.04 torrent and you can stop/start it whenever you fancy...
[22:40] <go1> pale-yafa: I think the data base stores your preferences, tv listings, etc.
[22:40] <pale-yafa> go1: I just want any program where I can watch regular tv on my monitor
[22:40] <mrguitarmann> sorry that was for ahorner

I have SCIM installed and running, and I've verified that if I turn it off, then I can get my keystrokes through to Windows, but that requires me to log out and in again.

[22:42] <Enanito> Hello guys.. I'm having an issue trying to emulate FL Studio 8 on ubuntu hardy... it says fixme:mountmgr:harddisk_ioctl unsupported ioctl 4d004 after doing wine fl.exe
[22:43] <Blaqlight> Enanito: if the line starts with fixme: chances are the developers know about it already.
[22:43] <LogicalDash> Enanito: Are you using the official Wine binaries from winehq.org, or the ones in Ubuntu's repositories? P.S. Wine Is Not an Emulator ;-)
[22:44] <df00z> does the sun jdk not come w/ the java plugin
[22:44] <Enanito> logical.. no, im using the ones from the repositorie
[22:44] <Enanito> repositories
[22:44] <Blaqlight> Enanito: you should be using the ones from winehq.
[22:44] <LogicalDash> Enanito: Go to winehq.org and read the install instructions there, see if that helps
[22:44] <NiMa91> remember to check appdb.winehq.org whenever considering using wine on a program
[22:44] <deathowner> hi all
[22:45] <Enanito> ill do that then :) thank you logical

[22:45] <deathowner> hello
[22:45] <deathowner> i need some help please
[22:45] <Ronin_> Is there anyway to send a message to the desktop alert service in ubuntu using a script?
[22:45] <go1> pale
[22:45] <zerogate> df00z, no the jdk needs to be installed seperately i
[22:45] <df00z> ﻿zerogate: manually, from java.com?
[22:45] <LogicalDash> df00z: you need to install sun-java6-plugin for the plugin
[22:45] <Blaqlight> !ask | deathowner
[22:45] <go1> pale-yafa: I found a program called tvtime.
[22:45] <df00z> ﻿LogicalDash: thats not showing in synaptic?
[22:46] <deathowner> i want when i create a new file .c in vim ,that there is already a minimal code who can help me , iknow that i can do that with bash but...help please :)
[22:46] <LogicalDash> df00z: I think you need to enable Multiverse
[22:46] <BabakM> Hey guys , Could you please help me install my USB ADSL modem?
[22:46] <df00z> multiverse is enabled
[22:46] <df00z> theres libgcjplugin
[22:46] <df00z> which does not work
[22:46] <BabakM> Hey guys , Could you please help me install my USB ADSL modem?
[22:46] <deathowner> i want when i create a new file .c in vim ,that there is already a minimal code who can help me , iknow that i can do that with bash but...help please :)
[22:47] <BabakM> Hey guys , Could you please help me install my USB ADSL modem?
[22:47] <pale-yafa> go1: will try now
[22:47] <df00z> this is so stupid
[22:47] <deathowner> babak what is the matter?
[22:47] <df00z> ubuntu is the most complicated and convulated distro ive ever used
[22:47] <df00z> just because it installs easy...argh
[22:48] <hiptobecubic^> how do i link my nicks to my account?
[22:48] <sorin-mihai> df00z, the java plugin comes with java runtime. otherwise you have to install the runtime. if using Add/Remove... select All Available aplications and search for java. then install 6.0 Plugin wich will install Sun Java Runtime too.
[22:48] <go1> BabakM: Have you looked at this Ubuntu wiki page? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsbAdslModem
[22:48] <Blaqlight> df00z: thats one of its strengths :P
[22:48] <NiMa91> yeah
[22:48] <deathowner> with time your be able to control your system
[22:48] <deathowner> i want when i create a new file .c in vim ,that there is already a minimal code who can help me , iknow that i can do that with bash but...help please :)
[22:48] <ClawEEE> lol
[22:48] <NiMa91> df00z: before ubuntu, I used to change distro every week
[22:48] <Claw666> lol
[22:48] <wlievens> E: You must put some 'source' URIs in your sources.list
[22:48] <Blaqlight> !repeat | deathowner
[22:48] <wlievens> what sources.list entries am I missing, then?
[22:48] <zerogate> deathowner, please express yourself more clearly
[22:49] <NiMa91> I wonder... am I weird for preferring nano and gedit to emacs and vim?
[22:49] <Blaqlight> NiMa91: I love nano and pico. :D
[22:49] <zerogate> df00z, https://cds.sun.com/is-bin/INTERSHOP.enfinity/WFS/CDS-CDS_Developer-Site/en_US/-/USD/ViewFilteredProducts-SingleVariationTypeFilter;pgid=yYdgaHqkkjVSR0EUPIQsoQ3D000033XyHAPE;sid=pytHZmHNkKJHailL8rMPY45qcymnUayI8smIp3zT_w4jxg==
[22:49] <BabakM> ANYBODY THERE?!!
[22:49] <hiptobecubic^> what's pico?
[22:49] <BabakM> Hey guys , Could you please help me install my USB ADSL modem?
[22:49] <deathowner> i use vim for create cpp file ,  i want when i create a new ".c" file with vim , that there is already a little bit of code
[22:50] <Blaqlight> hiptobecubic^: pretty much the same thing as nano.
[22:50] <go1> ﻿BabakM: Have you looked at this Ubuntu wiki page? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsbAdslModem
[22:50] <hiptobecubic^> man pico takes me to the nano manpage....
[22:50] <deathowner> is it more clearly
[22:50] <Blaqlight> exactly.
[22:50] <zerogate> deathowner, don't know how to do this
[22:50] <deathowner> okay thanks
[22:51] <Guy> Hello can anyone here tell me if an NVIDIA GeForce 6200 AGP 256MB video card should work under Ubuntu? I just bought it new and figured it should work.But when I install the restricted driver that Ubuntu recomends, I get system freezes as a result.Can anyone help?
[22:51] <NiMa91> hiptobecubic^: basically, nano is a GNU clone of pico, which doesn't use a free software licence and is tied to the pine email client (looking at its wikipage)
[22:51] <hiptobecubic^> NiMa91, ok thanks
[22:52] <go1> Guy: Try the Hardware Compatibility HOWTO
[22:52] <RoboJoint> where do i place python scripts so i don't have to type the path in terminal?
[22:52] <Blaqlight> sorry my slow internet prevents me from doing what NiMa91 did in a timely manner.
[22:52] <Guy> Where do I find that?
[22:52] <GuitarGuest1> hey guys...i really suck....  i am going to be doing a full install, but i wont have internets...i am having issues finding a deb of restricted extras...any help?
[22:52] <Blaqlight> RoboJoint: ~/
[22:52] <go1> Guy:Google the name.
[22:52] <sorin-mihai> Guy i have a 6200 agp 128mb and is working fine...
[22:52] <Guy> k'
[22:53] <Guy> hmmm I wonder why mine freezes.
[22:53] <RoboJoint> thanks!
[22:53] <Blaqlight> RoboJoint: in your home directory that is
[22:53] <df00z> installing the restricted package worked
[22:53] <Odd-rationale> GuitarGuest1: the restricted-extras packages is simple a meta-package...
[22:53] <df00z> contained libicetea java plugin
[22:53] <RoboJoint> thank you Blaqlight
[22:53] <Swian> Guy, I actually had that same card in my last Ubuntu box and it worked fine
[22:53] <Swian> running 7.10
[22:53] <Blaqlight> RoboJoint: if not you have to cd to the corect directory.
[22:53] <thomas> Hi. I did a "remastersys" of my system. But when I boot the CD, it loads the "ubuntu screen", but then only shows me a prompt where I cannot type anything...
[22:53] <df00z> Thanks
[22:54] <Guy> hmmm I wonder if the restriected driver is a newer version than the one you had and maybe contains a bug or something.
[22:54] <deathowner> i use vim for create cpp file ,  i want when i create a new ".c" file with vim , that there is already a little bit of code
[22:54] <marcellopa> what is the formula to print only the 10,20,30.. numbers from a for (i=0;i<=100;i++) ?
[22:54] <Chad> Excuse me but i need some help, When ever i enable the ATI driver then i reboot, My screen goes black, I have fixed my screen so it's currently not black but, i have to disable the driver to do that. How might I fix the this problem, I am using an ATI radeon x1650 pro agp 512 mb graphics card. Any help is sincerely appreciated.
[22:54] <GreenDelta> hey, does know a good programm to use an iPod (very new one) with Linux (buntu 8.04 hardy heron)? I already tried rhythmbox, amarok, gtkpod and banshee but all had problems. I already tried to get itunes working with wine but it was incredibly slow... i wanna make compilations and if it is possible i would like to have a auto synchronisation (if i do changes on PC he does them on ipod too the next time i plug it in....) sbd. can help me?
[22:55] <Bollinger> from the command line how can I discover the cpu count?
[22:55] <cottima> unop, I think I figured it out.  Even though you told me, I forgot about grub's root.  Although, I still need help if you have or someone else has time.
[22:55] <nellery> How do I delete a file owned by Root from trash?
[22:55] <deathowner> bllinger "top"
[22:55] <BabakM> GUYS , I have a problem here
[22:55] <marcellopa> what is the formula to print only the 10,20,30.. numbers from a for (i=0;i<=100;i++) ?
[22:55] <deathowner> ask babakM
[22:55] <BabakM> please help me
[22:55] <regeya> !ask | BabakM
[22:56] <deathowner> marcellopa i<=30
[22:56] <BabakM> I am trying to install my ADSL USB modem
[22:56] <BabakM> but I can't
[22:56] <leftie> having trouble setting SHMConfig to 'true'
[22:56] <deathowner> when you do i<=100 , i must be equal or smaller than 100
[22:57] <xercist> running updates on my fresh 8.04 install broke the sound output. alsa no longer recognizes that there's a card at all. it's an intel thinkpad x31 with the intel ac97 sound card. any ideas?
[22:57] <ConfidentiaL> which is faster; copying a whole partition or copying all the files on the partition? From one harddrive to another...
[22:57] <bastid_raZor> nellery; sudo rm -f /path/to/file
[22:57] <sorin-mihai> cottima, i do have some time...
[22:57] <deathowner> i use vim for create cpp file ,  i want when i create a new ".c" file with vim , that there is already a little bit of code
[22:57] <cottima> sorin-mihai: oh, please thank you
[22:57] <leftie> can anyone help me configure my synaptics device driver?
[22:58] <Juul> I just installed ubuntu 8.04 on a fresh box, and I must say, it's getting really good. I only had a single problem (screen resolution) and everything else was easy enough that I never had to use a terminal :-)
[22:58] <NiMa91> (quasi-impatient repetition) no ACPI on replacement motherboard (Tyan Thunder 2500, ServerWorks ServerSet III), and neither GRUB nor Ubuntu 7.10 (or something) livecd from the previous installation will run (I tried using acpi=off), any ideas people?
[22:58] <marcellopa> deathowner i need i<=100 because i need all the i values from 1 to 100 but inside the for itself i need also a variable that when i=1 is 10, when i=2 is 10, when i=20,21,etc.. is 20..
[22:58] <cottima> sorin-miahi: I changed root, then booted inside grub at load since I still get error 15.  After booting, I went into grub>.
[22:58] <bastid_raZor> deathowner; first create a file with said code in it.. then make a copy .. edit the copy.
[22:58] <wlievens> E: Build-dependencies for libapache2-svn could not be satisfied.
[22:58] <wlievens> what am I missing??
[22:59] <deathowner> good idea raZor
[23:00] <deathowner> but it's will be more smarter and good for learning to do what i want but thanks
[23:00] <sorin-mihai> cottima, what is your /boot/grub/menu.lst contents? use a paste bin please.
[23:00] <nellery> bastid_raZor, and how does that work with a file in Trash?
[23:00] <skylighter> Hey quick question - I go to start up certain games and my screen goes black and I get an error "Video mode not supported"  However this doesn't happen with all games.  I just installed new drivers but that didnt help.  Any ideas?
[23:01] <bastid_raZor> nellery; file is owned by root.. with sudo you take root permissions. rm -f will remove the file without question .. path/to/file is where the file is locate and the filename
[23:01] <deathowner> skylighter do you have openGL and acceleration graphic enable?
[23:01] <skylighter> deathowner: i think but how do i tell for sure?
[23:01] <BabakM> Anybody know how to install a usb modem?
[23:02] <nellery> bastid_raZor, the file is currently in trash, and I'm unaware of the pathname for a file in trash
[23:02] <bastid_raZor> nellery; okay since you fail to understand. cd to the trash folder then sudo rm -f filename
[23:02] <Bollinger>  /msg ubottu help
[23:03] <BabakM> Anybody know how to install a usb modem?
[23:03] <wlievens> I'll paypal $5 for anyone who helps me out :)

[23:03] <zod21> its cool
[23:03] <zod21> wlievens what do ya need man, you dont need to pay
[23:03] <wlievens> zod21: I want to build a particular apache module from source
[23:03] <wlievens> so
[23:03] <wlievens> I was told to start here:
[23:03] <wlievens> # apt-get build-dep libapache2-svn
[23:03] <wlievens> but I get this
[23:03] <sorin-mihai> nellery, file in Trash are in /home/user_name/.local/share/Trash
[23:03] <wlievens> E: Build-dependencies for libapache2-svn could not be satisfied.
[23:03] <deathowner> skylighter what is your card ? nvidia?ati?
[23:04] <FloodBot1> wlievens: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[23:04] <zod21> yeah that would  probably work
[23:04] <nellery> sorin-mihai, thank you, that helped
[23:04] <ConfidentiaL> which is faster; copying a whole partition or copying all the files on the partition? From one harddrive to another...
[23:04] <BabakM> Anybody know how to install a usb modem?
[23:04] <wlievens> this is the error: "E: Build-dependencies for libapache2-svn could not be satisfied."
that isn't wlievens as in wouter lievens of particracy fame, is it? I used to play that ages ago </OT>
[23:04] <zod21> have you downloaded the source code
[23:04] <BabakM> I'm totally confused
[23:04] <wlievens> NiMa91: Yes!
[23:04] <deathowner> babakM dont need your money :) it's free , but what is your usb modem?alcatel? the mark?
[23:05] <skylighter> deathowner: nvidia geforce 6800 gt
[23:05] <BabakM> It's ASUS AM602
[23:06] <cottima> sorin-mihai: I did this to boot into Ubuntu http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/29414/
[23:06] <chriswr> does anyone know of any free good rpg's for linux
[23:06] <Kagee> Hei Per Kristian. Dette er xdotool fra scriptet godnattpk.sh
[23:06] <wlievens> NiMa91: this is the first time someone "recognized" me :)
[23:06] <cottima> sorin-mihai  so you know I have softRAID 1 and lvm
[23:06] <deathowner> skylighter good card :p apt-cache search nvidia
[23:06] <deathowner> skylighter : and look for your
[23:07] <sorin-mihai> cottima, i've seen...
[23:07] <NiMa91> god, me playing Particracy was years back, I used to be a pinko party in Hobrazia which progressively became more and more communist... I think I was up against the United Blobs or something at the time... But anyway...
[23:07] <wlievens> hehe
[23:07] <wlievens> I'm actually working on setting up the server for the new version right now
[23:07] <wlievens> alpha test coming up soon
[23:08] <wlievens> unfortunately I'm a horrible newbie at linux administration
[23:08] <skylighter> deathowner: what am i looking for?
[23:08] <ndo> guys, ive got a trouble, ive used some commant like " sudo usermod -G vboxusers ndo" and now i cant suor sudo :(
[23:08] <chriswr> wlievens: we all were at once
[23:08] <BabakM> deathowner: I have Asus AM602 USB ADSL Modem
[23:08] <NiMa91> I was... well, I still am really
[23:08] <BabakM> I've used scanmodem
[23:09] <Coggz> how do I use a crossover cable to connect 2 pcs/laptops and share files
[23:09] <wlievens> chriswr: yeah, it's just that this "learn from banging your head against the wall" process is bad for headaches
[23:09] <Flannel> ndo: the proper syntax is usermod -G vboxusers -a ndo.  the -a is important (it appends instead of replacing)
[23:09] <BabakM> but it didn't help me
[23:09] <__yy_> ndo: ouch, usermod -G sets the groups to exactly those specified, you need to use -a -G to add to the list of groups a user is in.
[23:09] <NiMa91> I used to change distros every week, like I said before, my favourite distro being MEPIS, until I found ubuntu
[23:09] <Flannel> ndo: You'll need to reboot to recovery mode (at GRUB) and add yourself to the admin group again
[23:09] <wlievens> thing is I am not at liberty to just change distor because it's a VPS server
[23:09] <Lusule> in the system > preferences > appearance window for gtk2 customisation, i'm trying to customise the icon sets, but half of them, including system sets, appear with broken picture icons, when you select them you end up with no icons
[23:09] <chriswr> wlievens: lol , your should try dsome googleing processes instead
[23:09] <Flannel> ndo: the default non-primary groups are: adm dialout cdrom floppy audio dip video plugdev lpadmin scanner admin
[23:09] <Lusule> i've tried deleting the non-system sets and reinstalling, but it doesn't help.  It won't let me delete the system icons
[23:09] <wlievens> chriswr: in fact I have
[23:10] <chriswr> wlievens: lol , thought the head banging was getting you farther?
[23:10] <deathowner> skylighter nvidia glx
[23:10] <wlievens> chriswr: barely :)
[23:10] <chriswr> ;p
[23:10] <BabakM> anybody know how to install usb modem?
[23:10] <AlexJP> any of you guys know a bouncer for xchat?
[23:10] <BabakM> ASUS AM602?
[23:10] <ndo> ty guy, ill try
[23:10] <chriswr> wlievens: what are you trying to do?
[23:10] <NiMa91> it's better than what I do, I have loud hysterical shouting matches at my computer
[23:10] <Blaqlight> headbanging gets me a headache. nothing more.
[23:11] <wlievens> chriswr: it's version hell all over with apache
[23:11] <chriswr> Blaqlight: same for all of us pretty sure
[23:11] <chriswr> wlievens: you lost me  o.0
[23:11] <wlievens> typing
[23:11] <wlievens> :)
[23:11] <smith748> hello
[23:11] <IntoxikCat1> a
[23:11] <smith748> what version of x.org does ubuntu use
[23:12] <Blaqlight> screaming and yelling at my computer works well, but throwing it out the window is more satisfying.
[23:12] <skylighter> deathowner: it says NVIDIA binary XFree86 4.x/X.Org driver
[23:12] <NiMa91> oh well, I guess all the dealing-with-non-ACPI-motherboard nerds are out right now :/
[23:12] <skylighter> next to glx
[23:12] <wlievens> I need apache 2.2 for a feature in mod_proxy that I'm missing, but another module doesn't exist as a package for apache2.2 for dapper
[23:12] <wlievens> so I'm *trying* now to build those modules myself
[23:12] <Flannel> wlievens: Apache 2.2 isn't in dapper.  Apache 2 is.
[23:12] <Abed> I would like to convert from ogg to mp3 using command line
[23:12] <Flannel> wlievens: You should probably consider upgrading to Hardy if you need apache2.2
[23:12] <wlievens> Flannel: I found a backport somewhere, I think
[23:12] <chriswr> wlievens: so your just trying to get apache 2.2?
[23:12] <marcellopa> thanks bye !
[23:12] <smith748> does the hd4850 work in hardy heron
[23:12] <cottima> sorin-mihai was I suppose to run something after grub?  and do you have an idea why (hd1,0) does not work as root in grub?
[23:13] <wlievens> Flannel: can you just upgrade the distro on a VPS?
[23:13] <Flannel> !info xserver-xorg | smith748
[23:13] <NiMa91> my forum topic's sliding down the board, and, in the meantime, I'm failing to balance my whiny impatience and off-topicness with helping others
[23:13] <Beaver_> bonjours :)
[23:13] <wlievens> chriswr: I have apache 2.2 installed, but it won't start because the mod_dav_svn module is built for the wrong platform
[23:13] <BabakM> seems no body wants to help :(
[23:13] <Flannel> wlievens: You can upgrade dapper to hardy, yes.
[23:13] <NiMa91> sorry, but I don't know anything about installing USB modems :/
[23:13] <chriswr> wlievens: better off just upgrading like flannel said
[23:13] <wlievens> okay
[23:13] <wlievens> probably
[23:13] <wlievens> but
[23:13] <skylighter> How do I configure a complete xorg.conf file?  Mine is incomplete
[23:13] <wlievens> I've never done that
[23:13] <FloodBot1> wlievens: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[23:13] <BabakM> I know NiMa ;)
[23:14] <Dark_Shadow> where can i find the log
[23:14] <Flannel> wlievens: First remove the third party packages
[23:14] <wlievens> it scares the shit out of me frankly because I'm pretty sure a lot of stuff will break :)
[23:14] <NiMa91> anyone know a good way of getting Ubuntu's gnome-y network manager to properly DHCP?
[23:14] <chriswr> wlievens: i havent either   :D
[23:14] <Flannel> !upgrade | wlievens
[23:14] <Dark_Shadow> hi where can i find the log
[23:14] <Dark_Shadow> ?
[23:14] <NiMa91> I have to go into it every single time I boot and change it from DHCP to static, or static to DHCP
[23:14] <Flannel> Dark_Shadow: What log?
[23:14] <Guy> Hello can anyone tell me if there is a solution for offline software installs for Ubuntu?
[23:14] <wigren> *needs help with remote desktop*
[23:14] <Dark_Shadow> irc log
[23:14] <NiMa91> because it won't properly set itself up on load
[23:14] <Flannel> !logs | Dark_Shadow
[23:15] <deathowner> skylighter yeah and? you need it ,if you have already install it , it will tell you
[23:15] <wlievens> reading that now
[23:15] <__yy_> ndo: Guy you can use the install cd to install packages
[23:15] <omni> can anyone recommend a good alternative to panel-run?
[23:15] <Abed> I need command line to convert ogg 2 mp3
[23:15] <wlievens> and making a backup :)
[23:15] <omni> I've disabled gnome-panel and now I can't use the ALT+F2 run dialog
[23:15] <Flannel> Guy: All you need is the deb packages.  You can make a CD of packages, or just download them manually and sneakernet, or whatever, yes.
[23:15] <chriswr> wlievens: probably a good idea
[23:15] <chriswr> lol
[23:16] <smith748> i have an hd4850, does 3d work?
[23:16] <smith748> ati videocard
[23:16] <NiMa91> Abed: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-software-2/convert-ogg-to-mp3-306172/ might help... I'ma look for something more specific though
[23:16] <Flannel> Guy: If you have an Ubuntu connection that's connected to the internet, check out AptOnCD.
[23:16] <Piniek> hi
[23:16] <wlievens> should I heed the not-skipping advice
[23:16] <wlievens> i.e. upgrade twice
[23:16] <wlievens> from DD to FF to HH
[23:16] <Abed> NiMa91, thnx
[23:16] <Flannel> wlievens: Dapper to Hardy isn't skipping.
[23:17] <chriswr> wlievens: you could just reinstall the whole OS like i did if you dont have anything you need on your comp
[23:17] <Guy> APTonCD yeah ive tried it, it skips packages.
[23:17] <zerogate> after enabling my nvidia glx drivers my ubuntu hardy launches in low graphics mode - anybody?
[23:17] <wlievens> chriswr: can I really do that on a VPS?
[23:17] <wlievens> I mean
[23:17] <chriswr> wlievens: vps?
[23:17] <Flannel> wlievens: If you were going to upgrade piecewise, you need to go Dapper Edgy Feisty Gutsy Hardy.  Or you can go LTS to LTS, Dapper to Hardy (scroll down further in the Hardy upgrade notes)
[23:17] <wlievens> there's a whole lot of configuration going on beihnd the scene
[23:17] <Guy> zerogate I had the same issue just these last few days.
[23:17] <wlievens> plesk and all
[23:17] <Guy> I think the driver has bugs or somethging.

[23:17] <wlievens> virtual private server
[23:17] <smith748> i have an ati hd4850, does 3d work?
[23:17] <cdavis> If I wanted to explore running some virtualization software in a production environment (windows 2003 servers) should I simply get VMware or is there something Open Source that would work, ie Xen, etc.?
[23:18] <Odd-rationale> Guy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingSoftware#Installing%20packages%20without%20an%20Internet%20connection
[23:18] <chriswr> wlievens: oh well i have no idea about that stuff
[23:18] <chriswr> lol
[23:18] <zerogate> Guy, what model is your graphics card?
[23:18] <wlievens> join the club
[23:18] <Flannel> wlievens: Perhaps you should call up your hosting provider and ask.
[23:18] <GreenDelta> @Guy, i'm back had a crashdown of ksirc
[23:18] <chriswr> wlievens: better just to ignore reinstalling lol , cause i would be afraid too

[23:19] <SliMM> after I typed hciconfig reset
[23:20] <sorin-mihai> zerogate, Guy try this: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg then try reenabling the restricted driver. the command should reset your xorg.conf file to a default state...
[23:20] <chriswr> chad: have you installed compiz?
[23:20] <smith748> chriswr:  I would look, but its in the mail
[23:20] <zerogate> sorin-mihai, thanks, i'll try it right away

[23:20] <NiMa91> oh, I was just going to go on and on about using startx or X11 logs to get a more specific error message for the nvidia GLX stuff, but if it's some sort of universal bug :/
[23:20] <NiMa91> hrm
[23:21] <Odd-rationale> chriswr: compiz is installed by default in ubuntu 8.04. no?
[23:21] <chriswr> Odd-rationale: try , scratch that question , lol
[23:21] <XLV> smith748, with latest catalyst drivers ( closed source ) 4850 and 4870 seem to be supported
[23:21] <NiMa91> random musing: Never, ever, EVER go from ATi to nVidia without some form of therapy. It's painful
[23:21] <zerogate> sorin-mihai, restarting gdm (i use gnome) is necessary?
[23:21] <chriswr> Odd-rationale: well , then again , it wasnt on mine , i had to go to repos
[23:22] <LordMetroid> -msg nickserv identify gizmoquak
[23:22] <kevinO> hello, can i force a resolution during hard install?

[23:22] <LordMetroid> DOOHHHH
[23:22] <Odd-rationale> LordMetroid: thanks!
[23:22] <LordMetroid> Come'on
[23:22] <sorin-mihai> zerogate, i think yes.

[23:23] <jayson> is there a channel here for #bash scripting?
[23:23] <unop> #bash
[23:23] <Flannel> ndo: then when you're done, 'init 2' will get you to resume nomral boot
[23:23] <chriswr> chad: go to system > administrator > synaptic , and then type in compiz in the search

[23:26] <wigren> im trying to use vinagre to remote desktop into my desktop computer from my laptop. i can do it with tightvncserver on a windows 2000 machine but when i try to point it to my ubuntu desktop, also running tightvncserver as emachines:1, it immediately bounces back and says "Connection to host "emachines.homenet:1:5900 was closed" ive double checked and my domain name is right and firewall is...
[23:26] <wigren> ...set up correctly. am i missing a step?
[23:26] <smith748> i was just in the fedora 9 chat, and they said it doesnt work with x.org 1.5
[23:26] <arooni-mobile> how do i force a fsck?  even if it says the file system is clean?
[23:27] <chriswr> chad: is anything containing the word compiz have a green box beside it?
[23:27] <SliMM> I must say I totally hate the bugs in bluez-utils
[23:27] <smith748> XLV:  so if I use ubuntu I can play games?
[23:27] <baban> exit
[23:27] <Chad> chriswr: yeah 3 things do
[23:27] <chriswr> smith748: i think this might help you     http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Hardy_Installation_Guide
[23:27] <chriswr> chad: which ones are checked?
[23:28] <sorin-mihai> arooni-mobile, man fsck
[23:28] <smith748> chriswr:  whenever i try to go to that site, it freezes
[23:28] <smith748> chriswr:  i cant get there
[23:29] <Chad> chriswr: compiz, compiz-backendconfig,compiz-core
[23:29] <sgodsell> smith748, can you ping google.com?
[23:29] <chriswr> smith748: hmmmm
[23:29] <Odd-rationale> Chad: that's all the basic you will need for compiz...
[23:30] <LordMetroid> I hate security systems :(
[23:30] <smith748> nope, it times out
[23:30] <LordMetroid> Makes me so dissapointed
[23:30] <chriswr> chad: hmm , ok tell me again , your trying to get the visual effects to work?
[23:30] <Chad> odd-rationale then why won't it enable i just get a white screen for 10 seconds then boom back to desktop with the normal circle checked
[23:30] <Chad> chriswr, ye
[23:31] <NiMa91> is the x server set up for compositing and such?
[23:31] <Thoku> Is there a way of getting Rhythmbox to move and organise files when it imports them from another directory?
[23:31] <NiMa91> I forget what you have to do now :/
[23:31] <chriswr> chad: and it wont let you check extra?
[23:31] <meoblast001> how do you go into GTK design view in MonoDevelop?
[23:31] <Odd-rationale> Chad: try alt+f2. and in the run dialog type: compiz --replace
[23:31] <smith748> sgodsell:  no, times out
[23:32] <robert__> hey
[23:32] <robert__> anybody
[23:32] <smith748> chriswr:  anyway, how does that site help me
[23:32] <NiMa91> I forget whether the white screen is caused by there being no direct GLX acceleration, or AIGLX not being enabled, or such
[23:32] <Guest25098> how are we all today then eh?
[23:33] <Jack_Sparrow> Guest25098 Hello, how may we help you today

[23:33] <Jack_Sparrow> smith748 Please tone it down and use polite language
[23:34] <Abed> bastid_raZor, ok
[23:34] <chriswr> smith748: it would let you manually install the driver to enable all effects just like nvidia users
[23:34] <snarkster> smith748 track the package
[23:34] <NiMa91> it's a perl file, it might not have a manpage:/
[23:34] <NiMa91> *manpage :/

[23:35] <xTheGoat121x> Greetings all.
[23:35] <soundray> Abed: if not, look at the code with 'less ogg2mp3' and see if you can deduce from the comment or the code itself how it's used
[23:35] <smith748> reglijdfkghadfg
[23:35] <smith748> cngsaldgf
[23:35] <Chad> if you get this im going to restart into live

[23:35] <smith748> YES!!!!!!!!!!!
[23:35] <zerogate> sorin-mihai, didn't work for me :/
[23:35] <NiMa91> if http://marginalhacks.com/bin/ogg2mp3 is the same thing, then it looks like you just give it an ogg file
[23:36] <xTheGoat121x> Anyone know, is there a place I can go to talk to the makers of PulseAudio?
[23:36] <Odd-rationale> Chad: just restart X
[23:36] <Odd-rationale> Chad: logout
[23:36] <NiMa91> and it dumps the mp3 file in the same directory
[23:36] <sorin-mihai> zerogate, what card ya have?
[23:36] <chriswr> smith748: are you planning on playing games on ubuntu?
[23:36] <zerogate> Guy, which model is your grahics card?

[23:36] <unop> Abed, i would use ffmpeg to do that.   for i in *.ogg; do ffmpeg -i "$i" "${i//.ogg/.mp3}"; done
[23:37] <Thoku> can I get Rhythmbox to move media to its "collection" from another point on my hdd?
[23:37] <Necesito-Ayuda> Hola
[23:37] <snarkster> i prefer amarok alot more than rythmbox
[23:37] <bastid_raZor> Thoku; i don't think it does that. all it will really do is allow you to edit the tag
[23:37] <Necesito-Ayuda> Alguién que hable español
[23:38] <Jack_Sparrow> !es
[23:38] <Thoku> bastid_raZor: OK thanks anyway

[23:38] <Odd-rationale> Chad: you didn't need to reboot into live...
[23:38] <Chad> Odd-rationale: im not in live
[23:38] <smith748> chriswr: yes, but not hardcore
[23:38] <Chad> Odd-rationale: i decided to try regular
[23:38] <Thoku> snarkster: Do you know if Amarok can do that?
[23:38] <smith748> i want the ABILITY to play games
[23:39] <sorin-mihai> zerogate, and what is the exact error?
[23:39] <Chad> Odd-rationale: good so you saw what i was typing?
[23:39] <Odd-rationale> nextplace: next time just restart X (ctrl+alt+bksp)
[23:39] <magic_ninja> smith748, windows games?
[23:39] <chriswr> smith748: like what kind of games?
[23:39] <smith748> chriswr:  games i can play in wine
[23:39] <Odd-rationale> Chad: yes we saw
[23:39] <snarkster> no it doesnt do that. it just puts it in the collection from where it is.
[23:39] <dolphin_noel> someone knows why in amsn don`t reconize the helvetica font?!
[23:39] <unop> Abed, ogg2mp3 --enc_opts -b 64 -- *.ogg
[23:39] <sgodsell> smith748, install directx under wine
[23:39] <smith748> i will
[23:39] <Odd-rationale> Chad: pastebin your xorg.conf file...
[23:39] <snarkster> thoku why cant you just mv them to where it needs to go
[23:39] <Chad> Odd-rationale: ok good i wasn't sure if i was on the chat window
[23:39] <magic_ninja> doesn't directx install itself?
[23:39] <chriswr> smith748:  so you checked their appdb?
[23:39] <smith748> chriswr:  yes
[23:40] <smith748> the last thing to check is my video card
[23:40] <Thoku> snarkster: Because currently they have mangled names, and in bizzare folder layout
[23:40] <chriswr> smith748: k , just making sure , hope you have fun  :P
[23:40] <smith748> why cant i go to the guide you posted
[23:40] <Thoku> *in a
[23:40] <chriswr> smith748: idk
[23:40] <snarkster> thoku coming from an ipod?
[23:40] <cypha> anyone good with broadcom?
[23:40] <smith748> g2g!
[23:40] <smith748> thanks
[23:40] <Thoku> snarkster: Yup, my own one
[23:40] <chriswr> smith748: np
[23:40] <snarkster> talk about mangled names and strange folder layout
[23:40] <unop> Thoku,  and mv cannot cope with this layout?
[23:41] <nibbler_> hi
[23:41] <unop> Thoku, lltag can rename these files in an order you want
[23:41] <zerogate> sorin-mihai, where can i see the exact error msg? my ubuntu just launches in low graphics mode after rebooting after enabling the restr. driver
[23:41] <Thoku> unop: It can be it doesn't sort the layout and name mangling
[23:41] <Chad> Odd-rationale: http://pastebin.com/m3c076eea
[23:41] <snarkster> trust me just copy the stuff to yur music folder install amarok and itll organize them for yoiu
[23:41] <meoblast001> can anyone help me get MonoDevelop into Design GTK mode?
[23:41] <elad`> I need the man for fork(), shmat(), etc. Help?
[23:41] <Thoku> oooh cool thanks unop
[23:41] <elad`> (I want to be able to access them offline.)
[23:41] <Jack_Sparrow> zerogate nVidia video card and the update killed it?
[23:41] <elad`> (They didn't come installed out of the "box".)
[23:42] <cypha> ubuntu doesn't see my wireless card!
[23:42] <soundray> elad`: install the manpages-dev package
[23:42] <Thoku> unop: Is there a tool for merging the sorted libraries though?
[23:42] <elad`> Thanks!
[23:42] <elad`> cypha, have you tried plugging it in?
[23:43] <nibbler_> ubuntu totally rocks
[23:43] <unop> Thoku, hmm, you could possibly use lltag to place files into your existing heirarchy -- but i am not so sure what happens when files already exist
[23:43] <sorin-mihai> zerogate, /var/log/Xorg.*.log or using System > Administration > Logs or something like (i don't have english version here)
[23:43] <snarkster> i use amarok to put music on my daughters ipod with cover art.
[23:43] <Thoku> I don't really mind if it over writes them. Saves me the hassle
[23:43] <Thoku> unop: ^ see above.
[23:43] <zerogate> Jack_Sparrow, what do you mean?
[23:44] <meoblast001> can anyone help me get MonoDevelop into Design GTK mode?
[23:44] <unop> Thoku, you could use lltag interactively to prompt you .. but that could be a nuisance with a lot of files, you can force it to overwrite files too
[23:44] <LordMetroid> So, now my Ubuntu works as it should again, back to old trustworthy 6.10
[23:44] <zerogate> sorin-mihai, very long log file, what must i search for?
[23:44] <unop> Thoku, but these files must have the appropriate tags
[23:44] <Jack_Sparrow> zerogate Do you have an nVidia video card and did the kernel update kill it?
[23:44] <Chad> Odd-rationale: well?
[23:44] <Odd-rationale> Chad: hold on...
[23:44] <xTheGoat121x> This is really weird.  My PulseAudio setup works, for the most part... but there are some things that are just a bit odd.
[23:44] <snarkster> m4a files
[23:44] <MuzikJunkie> anyone able to help with new video card? Just installed the nvidia 6200 and I cannot start X.  I have tried the dpkg-reconfigure command and even tried to run xfix in recover mode...nothing seems to make X want to start.
[23:44] <Thoku> unop, They do. However I presume I need to write a shell script to do this
[23:45] <zerogate> Jack_Sparrow, i have a nvidia 8600gm and i have problems with 3d drivers since the beginning
[23:45] <xTheGoat121x> And I'd like to fix it and get it working.
[23:45] <snarkster> rythmbox cant play those
[23:45] <snarkster> or can it
[23:45] <zerogate> Jack_Sparrow, no kernel update involved
[23:45] <Thoku> snarkster: it can
[23:45] <andre> hey guys
[23:46] <unop> Thoku, no, lltag is already a perl script - all you need to do is figure out the appropriate command line for your needs
[23:46] <NiMa91> still no takers for my problems regarding a non-ACPI tyan thunder 2500 motherboard and both GRUB and my Linux LiveCD not working?
[23:46] <soundray> Hello andre
[23:46] <Odd-rationale> Chad: do "gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf" and make your xorg.conf file look like this: http://pastebin.com/m1388f182
[23:46] <unop> Thoku, the manpage and documentation contain examples
[23:46] <Thoku> unop: Ok thanks
[23:46] <Jack_Sparrow> zerogate http://pastebin.com/m49654db5 may be useful
[23:46] <andre> Does anyone know how I can tell which device is mounted to which directory?  for example I have a device like /dev/sda1 mounted to /media/drive1  but how do I tell which dev is on /media/drive2
[23:46] <andre> ?
[23:47] <sorin-mihai> zerogate, i'm not sure... and maybe is not beeing logged in this file but in other files that are in /var/log too...
[23:47] <unop> andre, use mount
[23:47] <Odd-rationale> andre: df -h
[23:47] <unop> andre, or df -T
[23:47] <andre> Odd-rationale:  df???
[23:47] <Odd-rationale> andre: yes.
[23:47] <andre> Odd-rationale: excellent Thanks
[23:48] <NiMa91> also: anyone know what the repercussions of a BIOS not being able to update microcode on a CPU are?
[23:48] <andre> Odd-rationale: what about getting updates via command line apt-get?
[23:48] <zerogate> Jack_Sparrow, i will try it sometime with this build-essential thing, thanks
[23:48] <Jack_Sparrow> n
[23:48] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[23:48] <Chad> Odd-rationale:  Ok all done now what?
[23:48] <Odd-rationale> andre: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
[23:48] <Odd-rationale> Chad: save and close the file
[23:48] <andre> Odd-rationale: really? upgrade?
[23:48] <Odd-rationale> Chad: then logout and back in. and try desktop effects again...
[23:48] <Reformer81> I'm trying to use fdupes to remove all duplicate picture files from within /home/Photos.  When I run 'fdupes -dr /home/Photos/', it returns no matches.  Yet I know there are duplicate pictures... any ideas?
[23:49] <Chad> Odd-rationale: just login and out not restart?
[23:49] <Kalamarencu> hello Anyone knows what an MSI interrupt test failed, using legacy interrupt when installing a Network Adapter?
[23:49] <Odd-rationale> Chad:
[23:49] <Odd-rationale> yes
[23:49] <Odd-rationale> andre: yes
[23:49] <andre> Odd-rationale: I just want to get all of the updates via command-line that I get hassled about with GUI
[23:49] <Kalamarencu> !interrupt
[23:49] <soundray> andre: or 'sudo apt-get dist-upgrade' which is more resistant to failure ( Odd-rationale?)
[23:49] <andre> Odd-rationale: oh sweet

[23:49] <Kalamarencu> hello Anyone knows what an MSI interrupt test failed, using legacy interrupt when installing a Network Adapter?
[23:50] <Odd-rationale> soundray: ok. i thought upgrade was the recommended one...
[23:50] <unop> soundray, i'd use.  sudo aptitude safe-upgrade
[23:50] <Chad> Odd-rationale: ok i logged in and out now try the desktop effects?
[23:50] <Odd-rationale> Chad: the normal way...
[23:50] <Intelli> I am trying to use some Optical Character Recognition software. So far having poor results with gORC, and I don't think I've got tesseract to do anything. Can anyone assist me?
[23:51] <NiMa91> does anyone at least know what the problem is if GRUB shows a blinking cursor on a black screen then the word "GRUB" instead of loading?
[23:51] <bastid_raZor> Kalamarencu; MSI is that part of wine?
[23:51] <Odd-rationale> unop: i read opinions that is is better to stick to either apt-get or aptitude. but not switch between them?
[23:51] <Kalamarencu> no
[23:51] <soundray> unop: you always come out with these things that are on a higher level ;)
[23:51] <Chad> i think i'm in chat
[23:51] <yuji> Hey guys. I'm running hardy and I just enabled an extra x server for my second screen. all is well, but the only problem is that on one of my screens (the first x server, x screen 0) any kind of "popup" like the taskbar menus or firefox navigation menus take a long time to appear. Only on one screen. where should I look?
[23:51] <Chad> all white
[23:51] <ndo> Flannel: ehm, list with parameters as far as i remember

[23:52] <xTheGoat121x> My entire system freezes every time a sound plays, but only for an instatn.
[23:52] <ndo> Flannel: dunno, i coldnt see what was above..
[23:52] <unop> Odd-rationale, though you have to note that aptitude does install recommended packages by default - which might not be desirable over time.
[23:53] <Chad> Odd-rationale: so now what >:o
[23:53] <Jack_Sparrow> Chad What video card?
[23:53] <Odd-rationale> unop: yes i know...

[23:54] <molgrum> how come gnash 0.8.3 is not in the ubuntu repos yet?
[23:54] <n-iCe> hello, how can I know what ubuntu version is installed?
[23:54] <unop> Odd-rationale, I've never noticed any side-effects to using apt-get and aptitude interchangeably.  infact, i use apt-get to install and aptitude to remove
[23:54] <cypha> elad`: very funny!
[23:54] <Odd-rationale> it is possible to use desktop effects with the radeon drivers. correct? or must you use fglrx?

[23:54] <soundray> AlexJP: I found that installing network-manager-openvpn makes that very easy
[23:54] <Reformer81> zedmachine: Any error messages?
[23:55] <Jack_Sparrow> Chad thanks..
[23:55] <Reformer81> zedmachine: And have you set you computer to boot from the CD?

[23:56] <Jack_Sparrow> zedmachine If you look at the cd with another pc or os do you see many files or one *.iso file
[23:56] <Reformer81> zedmachine: Wel, what happens when you try to boot?
[23:56] <Abed> i am using ffmpeg and trying to change bitrate to 192 but when the file is being converted it is still the default 64 i am using ffmpeg -i input.ogg  output.mp3 -ab 192
