[00:00] <Leo> haha. seems to be easy. Maybe Im subestimating my skill
[00:00] <Blaqlight> !anyone | krazy-h_
[00:01] <serkan`c> Leo: what was your problem?
[00:02] <Blaqlight> kindofabuzz: linux doesn't interpret spaces the same way windows does... so no prolly not, but if you want to use \ before the space
[00:02] <Blaqlight> kindofabuzz: that should work.
[00:03] <Blaqlight> !pm > krazy-h_
[00:04] <Blaqlight> kindofabuzz: so then it would be e.g. Linux\ Manual for spaces.

[00:07] <Leo> alguno hablando cristiano?
[00:07] <serkan`c> can you see an error output when you start X manuallay mfabiano ?
[00:07] <a_ham> kindofabuzz: no it's not spam... i'm a real person and just trying to tell you about the site
[00:07] <krazy-h_> You know i'm new in IRc that's why i do these errors, but maybe one day all will be alright :D
[00:07] <krazy-h_> But Does anybody who can help me ?
[00:07] <mfabiano> serkan`c, well i didn't try to start it manually. how do i do that?
[00:07] <kindofabuzz> a_ham: this is a family channel, don't advertise porn sites
[00:08] <icogens> I've found an interesting bug involving pulse-audio and pidgin, but I'm not sure how to report it. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
[00:08] <serkan`c> mfabiano: maybe stopping gdm and give the startx command
[00:08] <bastid_raZor> !bug > icogens

[00:10] <D3RGPS31> Leo: thanks
[00:11] <bastid_raZor> !grub > D3RGPS31 this may help too
[00:11] <D3RGPS31> it can't help
[00:11] <Qian> I'm having a problem with my wireless card connecting to a WEP-protected network.  If I disable WEP I can connect just fine, but if WEP is enabled it won't let me connect...
[00:12] <Blaqlight> Qian: you have to use the WEP key to connect. not your passphrase... I believe
[00:12] <Leo2> I close the window...
[00:12] <Leo2> by e mail?
[00:12] <Leo2> grub.tar.gz
[00:12] <D3RGPS31> ftp or share site
[00:13] <DIFH-iceroot> Qian: first, dont use WEP!! using WEP or no description is near the same
[00:13] <DIFH-iceroot> -description+encryption
[00:13] <Blaqlight> DIFH-iceroot: sometimes a little encrytion is better than none.
[00:13] <Qian> ﻿Blaqlight:if I type my key in (hex) it just prompts me for it again after a minute or so
[00:13] <bastid_raZor> Qian; you could look in to using MAC address filtering.. i use it with no security.. then again where i live not much worry of leechers
[00:13] <eross> i'm trying different desktops, window maker is neat, are there any other light-weight window managers that are cool too?
[00:13] <kindofabuzz> i never have got WEP to work in ubuntu.  i just mac filter
[00:14] <Blaqlight> Qian: its case sensitive. make sure your typing it right
[00:14] <Qian> ﻿bastid_raZor:hmmm, that's a good idea
[00:14] <Leo> I dont use any ftp
[00:14] <Blaqlight> eross: flux/open/black-box
[00:14] <DIFH-iceroot> Blaqlight: in germany you will have big problems if someone is uusing your wep-wlan
[00:14] <Qian> ﻿Blaqlight:hex is case sensitive?
[00:14] <Leo> or share
[00:14] <D3RGPS31> rapidshare*?
[00:15] <abbot> can someone help me real quick?  i'm trying to burn with K3B and i sometimes get an error half way through that says "CDRecord has no permission to open device".  i'm burning from an external drive.  it works fine other times though.  seems random.
[00:15] <Leo> is just 78kb
[00:15] <Sylphid> kindofabuzz, mac filtering is really unsecure
[00:15] <Blaqlight> Qian: I had to type it exactly as it was generated for it too work.
[00:15] <eross> thanks Blaqlight
[00:15] <D3RGPS31> i forgot about DCC xD
[00:15] <D3RGPS31> thanks
[00:15] <Sylphid> kindofabuzz, its crackable in 30 seconds
[00:15] <kindofabuzz> Sylphid: yes i know, but i can't get any security to work in ubuntu
[00:15] <koops> is there any soft to make a gnome theme out of my current gnome theme?
[00:15] <D3RGPS31> thanks, now i can see linux again =D
[00:16] <Sylphid> kindofabuzz, what wireless driver?
[00:16] <DIFH-iceroot> kindofabuzz: you have to use wpa-suplicant (or something like that) sorry dont know the correct name
[00:16] <kindofabuzz> Sylphid: ndiswrapper
[00:16] <Leo> wpa-supplicant
[00:16] <Blaqlight> eross: if you want a lightweight desktop environment instead of just a WM you should check out XFCE
[00:16] <Kevin`> my resolution in ubuntu is limited to 1280x1024, what can I do to increase this (nvidia with unfree drivers)
[00:16] <JusticeZero> Hey, i've got a laptop on wireless and a desktop plugged in to the router on an unsecured network in the house. What do I do to be able to run a lan game between the two?
[00:16] <DIFH-iceroot> Leo: thx
[00:16] <kindofabuzz> DIFH-iceroot: i've tried that i think, i put the passphrase in and everything, it just never connects
[00:16] <Leo> is it right?
[00:16] <Leo> check it
[00:16] <Sylphid> kindofabuzz, yes you will need wpa-supplicant
[00:16] <Leo> y.welcome
[00:17] <Stargazer> Other than VirtualBox-OSE what can i use for Virtual Machine ?
[00:17] <kindofabuzz> Sylphid: that a package, i think it's installed
[00:17] <DIFH-iceroot> Stargazer: vmware, qemu
[00:17] <kindofabuzz> ?
[00:17] <Sylphid> kindofabuzz, yes it is
[00:17] <Kevin`> Stargazer: kvm, qemu, vmware, xen, and a few others
[00:17] <Sylphid> kindofabuzz, a package that is
[00:17] <DIFH-iceroot> Stargazer: xen, virtuozo
[00:18] <DIFH-iceroot> but i think virtual box is one of the best
[00:18] <Stargazer> Ok, i have VMware but idk the command and i can't find it in the Menus, any ideas ?
[00:18] <Kevin`> Stargazer: "vmware" for workstation
[00:18] <Blaqlight> Stargazer: locate vmware
[00:18] <usr13> I have an Nvidia MX 440.  What driver should I use?
[00:18] <kindofabuzz> Sylphid: yeah already installed
[00:18] <usr13> apt-get install _________?
[00:18] <Leo> sudo
[00:18] <Kevin`> anyone? screen resolution?
[00:18] <Blaqlight> Stargazer: also sudo updatedb if you havent already
[00:19] <usr13> Gfource4 MX400 video
[00:19] <zombieball> kevin: I just came in, what is resolution problem you having?  I recently ran into this
[00:19] <bastid_raZor> usr13; probably nvidia-glx-legacy .. search on packages.ubuntu.com for the actual name
[00:19] <DIFH-iceroot> usr13: the nvidia legacy driver
[00:19] <Blaqlight> usr13: 'sudo apt-get install packagename'
[00:19] <DIFH-iceroot> usr13: apt-cache search nvidia legacy
[00:19] <Kevin`> zombieball: it's at 1280x1024. i want it higher. don't see an option that's higher in preferences-resolution
[00:20] <inspyre> DIFH-iceroot: you have vbox with the latest kernel?
[00:20] <DIFH-iceroot> inspyre: yes
[00:20] <inspyre> amd?
[00:20] <DIFH-iceroot> inspyre: 2.6.24-19 imo
[00:20] <inspyre> amd64 i mean
[00:20] <DIFH-iceroot> inspyre: intel
[00:20] <inspyre> you didnt get -20?
[00:21] <Leo> did you update the linux-ose-module..... ?
[00:21] <zombieball> Kevin:  have you tried   sudo gnome-control-center
[00:21] <zombieball> may be able to change the option in there
[00:21] <serkan`c> Kevin`: if you installed your graphic card's drivers and still cant get the higher resolution, you can add the desired resolution into xorg.conf imho
[00:21] <DIFH-iceroot> inspyre: dont know the kernel version at work
[00:21] <serkan`c> maybe works
[00:21] <alraune> kevin:sudo apt-get install gksudo displayconfig-gtk
[00:21] <Blaqlight> DIFH-iceroot: uname -r
[00:21] <Blaqlight> err uname -a
[00:21] <inspyre> Leo: oh theres a seperate package?
[00:21] <DIFH-iceroot> Blaqlight: the pc is at work!!!
[00:21] <zombieball> kevin: or edit xorg.conf as serkcan mentioned
[00:21] <Leo> sometimes you have to do it manually
[00:21] <alraune> kevin : got it ?
[00:21] <DIFH-iceroot> Blaqlight: i know uname -r but cant access the pc right now
[00:22] <Blaqlight> DIFH-iceroot: don't yell at me please :(
[00:22] <inspyre> Leo: i dont see that
[00:22] <Leo> do an uname -r to check the version
[00:22] <Sylphid> kindofabuzz, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=202834
[00:22] <HappyHater> Kevin`, run gksudo displayconfig-gtk and setup your monitor
[00:22] <kindofabuzz> Sylphid: thanks buddie
[00:22] <DIFH-iceroot> Blaqlight: then why you tell me "uname -r"?
[00:22] <serkan`c> ok one nasty question here, where hardy heron reads graphical infos? since xorg.conf is so empty :D
[00:22] <Leo> then from synaptic check the available linux-ose-modules
[00:22] <Leo> must be the same as your kernel
[00:23] <zombieball> serkan: empty?  that is strange, my /etc/X11/xorg.conf was populated
[00:23] <alraune> ﻿ serkan`c:empty ?
[00:23] <usr13> I see: nvidia-legacy-kernel-source & nvidia-glx-legacy
[00:23] <zhuwl> hello all
[00:23] <Blaqlight> uname a is the correct command sorry.
[00:23] <usr13> Should I install both?
[00:23] <Leo> probably you have to restart
[00:23] <Kevin`> HappyHater: alraune zombieball those config gui's only list max 1280x1024
[00:23] <Blaqlight> second I didn't know you didn't have physical access to the machine in question.
[00:23] <serkan`c> of course it is not fully empty, but you know there is not any resolution info at first?
[00:23] <alraune> kevin:sudo apt-get install gksudo displayconfig-gtk
[00:23] <bastid_raZor> usr13;  more than likely it'll install the first too.. install nvidia-glx-legacy
[00:23] <alraune> kevin : got it ?
[00:23] <inspyre> Leo: you have amd64?
[00:23] <J-_> "uname -a"
[00:24] <inspyre> Leo: its not there
[00:24] <Leo> no generic
[00:24] <HappyHater> Kevin`, in the displayconfig-gtk change the 'configured monitor' to your actual monitor
[00:24] <Johnny> flash 10 is messing up for me, it looks all splotchy and has a bunch of white dots everywhere
[00:24] <zombieball> Kevin: you may have to edit your xorg.conf manually, try what alraune says first though!
[00:24] <Blaqlight> Ive really gotta stop misstyping my comments...
[00:24] <mikolson> test
[00:24] <Leo> I ve got problems with virtualbox after last kernel update
[00:24] <Leo> to 19
[00:25] <alraune> kevin : got it ?
[00:25] <zombieball> Parallels + ubuntu HH don't like to play well sometimes either :P
[00:25] <Leo> from 2.6.24-18 to 19
[00:25] <inspyre> Leo: yes the kernel is -20 and vbox is -19 for me
[00:25] <Kevin`> alraune: testing
[00:25] <serkan`c> so you guys, do you have resolution values in xorg.conf?
[00:25] <mikolson> has anyone know what i need to set as system architecture for apt-build for core 2 duo
[00:25] <mikolson> ??
[00:25] <DIFH-iceroot> serkan`c: yes
[00:25] <Leo> the module ...19 appeared few days later
[00:25] <alraune> ﻿ serkan`c:yup
[00:25] <serkan`c> DIFH-iceroot: from a fresh install?
[00:26] <zombieball> serkcan: yes I did too
[00:26] <DIFH-iceroot> serkan`c: yes, of course
[00:26] <Leo> just wait or try with VMware. people say its better
[00:26] <serkan`c> weird, we dont have here :D
[00:26] <serkan`c> and lots of people on our forums, too
[00:26] <zombieball> serkan: does the file exist?
[00:26] <mikolson> Has anyone use APT-BUILD>
[00:26] <Blaqlight> serkan`c: my xorg.conf refers to another file elsewhere with a cryptic "Preconfigured Video Config"
[00:26] <serkan`c> zombieball: yes
[00:26] <mikolson> ??
[00:26] <Kevin`> HappyHater: alraune worked
[00:26] <serkan`c> Blaqlight: i am talking about that
[00:26] <serkan`c> where?
[00:27] <Kevin`> thanks
[00:27] <alraune> kevin: configured monitor, changed resolution ?
[00:27] <Blaqlight> serkan`c: I don't know, Ive looked and have yet to find it but all is good and working so Ive stopped looking :D
[00:27] <zombieball> Kevin: great
[00:27] <Kevin`> yeah, the sync ranges autodetected were wrong. selected a similar monitor from the list and it's better
[00:27] <Balian> XDMCP is not active help
[00:28] <alraune> kevin: nice
[00:28] <bastid_raZor> Kevin`; google your monitor and get the specs from that. i've done the same

I've a company laptop, Win XP with 4 pin 1394, one workstation with 6 pin running Ubuntu, and a Dell d600 dual boot ubuntu and XP for which I could get a pcmcia card for 6 pin firewire.  I' trying to figure out if I should buy a 6 pin or 4 pin.  Or is there such a thing as a 4 pin 1394/USB I could use with a Mini DV camcorder.   I know this is bit camcordish, 
[00:33] <Blaqlight> !repeat | grkblood
[00:33] <Sydero> well selinux is in the repo
[00:33] <Leo> did someone use gcolor2?

[00:36] <phantomcircuit> what gives?
[00:36] <Kevin`> phantomcircuit: dmesg have anything interesting about it?
[00:37] <Blaqlight> phantomcircuit: are you running in Roaming Mode?
[00:37] <LibertyShadow> phantomcircuit, what about "iwlist scan"
[00:37] <industri4lB0y> hello, my problem is that  i have installed preload in xubuntu 8.04 hardy, it was suppoused to load in the startup scripts, but even at typing the command /etc/init.d/preload start it shows me a message that says the following: "Starting preload: preload.". however, when i see the executing process list, preload doesn't shows up. could somebody please help me?. Please, i accept private msg too.
[00:37] <serkan`c> what does it say: iwlist scan eth1 phantomcircuit ?

[00:37] <Dominik_> lo all, I am trying to get a game called Gothic running under Wine, (AppDB says it has a Gold status) but I can't get it running right, I've got it so far that I got ingame, but no menu or anything is displayed and no textures what so ever... everything is white without any textures... and no Dialouge is shwon nothing, any ideas?
[00:37] <iGama> you must have your wireless in Roaming Mode
[00:38] <bastid_raZor> Dominik_; #winehq is best suited for wine fun
[00:38] <alraune> iGama: ??
[00:38] <fossuser> Domink, I had trouble with Wine similar to what you're describing
[00:38] <Blaqlight> Roaming Mode == Wireless Scanning Mode.
[00:38] <fossuser> I realized it was my graphics card that was not completely supported
[00:38] <phantomcircuit> $ iwlist wlan0 scan
[00:38] <phantomcircuit> wlan0     No scan results
[00:38] <LibertyShadow> phantomcircuit, run it as root
[00:39] <Kevin`> phantomcircuit: ifconfig wlan0 up, then scan?
[00:39] <Dominik_> bastid_raZor: yeah I have been there quite a bit in the last 2 days, its just not as active as here, noone answers to my questions there... actually noone writes three at all
[00:39] <Dominik_> fossuser: any solution ? Or did you give up wine ?
[00:39] <iGama> good night all

[00:39] <fossuser> Dominik, I couldn't get it to work
[00:39] <Dominik_> bastid_raZor: thx :)
[00:39] <Pupeno> Hello.
[00:39] <fossuser> the wine channel is probably woth trying though
[00:39] <Blaqlight> !compiz-fusion | fossuser
[00:39] <fossuser> goodluck!
[00:40] <lebutcherpc> sorry for the off topic
[00:40] <lebutcherpc> but my libflashsupport did not work
[00:40] <LosGeners> Anyone know where there is a channel for OpenOffice?
[00:40] <fossuser> thanks ubottu
[00:40] <lebutcherpc> still cannot watch the videos
[00:40] <Blaqlight> lebutcherpc: type about:plugins into the address bar of firefox
[00:40] <serkan`c> it just freezes lebutcherpc ?
[00:40] <Dominik_> LosGeners: #OpenOffice.org
[00:41] <Dominik_> here in the freenode server
[00:41] <LibertyShadow> phantomcircuit, $ sudo /etc/init.d/NetworkManager restart
[00:41] <Blaqlight> lebutcherpc: see if your flash plugin is listed there, if not restart firefox
[00:41] <LosGeners> Thanks Dominik_
[00:41] <lebutcherpc>  yes it just freezes
[00:41] <lebutcherpc> i
[00:41] <arthur__> reinstall flash?
[00:41] <lebutcherpc> i'll try it
[00:41] <Dominik_> there are soooo many people here, there must be a wine wizz amongst you :)
[00:42] <alraune> gpm: output from : modprobe -l | grep snd | grep pci
[00:42] <arthur__> what flash player are you using?
[00:42] <phantomcircuit> LibertyShadow, command not found
[00:42] <Blaqlight> Dominik_: not all of the experts are always online, patience is the only way you'll get your question answered
[00:42] <qmemo> hi all, how do the system manges localization & internationalization
[00:42] <serkan`c> sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
[00:43] <alraune> ﻿fossuser: ubotttu is a bot
[00:43] <phantomcircuit> serkan`c, i just did that
[00:43] <LibertyShadow> phantomcircuit, my bad, use serkan`c 's thing
[00:43] <gpm> alraune: (a bunch of modules, shall i paste them to a paster?)
[00:43] <qmemo> meaning, how do File Mangers read for example arabic file names
[00:43] <phantomcircuit> network manager still doesn't list any networks
[00:43] <alraune> gpm: jup
[00:43] <phantomcircuit> qmemo, UNICODE
[00:43] <qmemo> so is for editing/reading UTF-8 ?
[00:43] <Dominik_> Blaqlight: yeah I know, but I was here yesterday afternoon, yesterday evening this afternoon and now this evening... two people tried to help, but not successfully... i am trying to be patient :D
[00:43] <serkan`c> phantomcircuit: first you must connect to the wireless
[00:43] <lebutcherpc> i have shockwave installed
[00:43] <alraune> gpm: sound worked before ?
[00:43] <serkan`c> cen you see your connection in the iwlist scan?
[00:43] <BHSPitLappy> Question:  I'm helping a friend who's just installed using Wubi, and it doesn't look like it's mounted the NTFS partition anywhere... The Wubi FAQ says that it should have.  Anyone know why this may be?
[00:43] <serkan`c> s/cen/can
[00:44] <qmemo> ok, if I want to enable localization to a system what should I look for or where should I be looking at
[00:44] <phantomcircuit> yes i can
[00:44] <lebutcherpc> don't know what to do
[00:44] <serkan`c> ok is it pass protected? phantomcircuit
[00:44] <phantomcircuit> yes it is
[00:44] <Dominik_> maybe it would be easiest to post to a forum somewhere, but somehow it usually is more effective to get "live" help
[00:44] <cygoku> True I will do that.
[00:44] <cygoku> Blaqlight : I know how to go to the preferencies of the Column's List, but I want is to ADD MORE options to the available list.
[00:44] <serkan`c> wep or wpa phantomcircuit ?
[00:45] <phantomcircuit> wpa
[00:45] <kokko> flash isn't working for me
[00:45] <phantomcircuit> http://rafb.net/p/LSOdjV18.html
[00:45] <phantomcircuit> that's from the scan
[00:45] <serkan`c> hm, wpa is abit hard via terminal so let's try nm-applet wat
[00:45] <Blaqlight> cygoku: huh?
[00:45] <lebutcherpc> kokko: whats ur problem
[00:45] <serkan`c> on the right corner of the panel, can you see netork-manager? phantomcircuit
[00:45] <cygoku> Sorry, wrong UP+ENTER :P
[00:45] <qmemo> phantomcircuit, ?
[00:45] <phantomcircuit> yeah i can see it
[00:46] <Blaqlight> serkan`c: look for nmapplet
[00:46] <SlimG> I have a big file that was produced using "cat archive.part*.rar > bigfile", how do I split this bigfile back into the initial small files?
[00:46] <kokko> lebutcherpc I cannot watch youtube and videos from facebook
[00:46] <Blaqlight> err nm-applet
[00:46] <serkan`c> ok open it and in the preferences activate "roaming mode" phantomcircuit
[00:46] <phantomcircuit> qmemo, its under the system menu somewhere
[00:46] <gpm_> alraune: http://paste.lisp.org/display/64508
[00:46] <alraune> gpm: sound worked before ?
[00:46] <serkan`c> thanks Blaqlight  :)
[00:46] <lebutcherpc> i have the exact same problem
[00:46] <lebutcherpc> i unistalled once before
[00:46] <phantomcircuit> serkan`c, how do i open it?
[00:46] <qmemo> phantomcircuit, can I pm for a min?
[00:47] <serkan`c> phantomcircuit: just click imho :D
[00:47] <lebutcherpc> installed it again
[00:47] <gpm_> alraune: well i am new to this release, but it has in the past
[00:47] <lebutcherpc> this time with a different version
[00:47] <kokko> ohhh. anyone doesn't know the solution for our problem it seems
[00:47] <lebutcherpc> it doesn
[00:47] <alraune> gpm: so it doesnt work since a fresh install ?
[00:47] <Blaqlight> phantomcircuit: click it it should show your available wireless networks
[00:48] <gpm> alraune: it's spotty, sometimes it works.
[00:48] <lebutcherpc> i really don't know
[00:48] <serkan`c> Blaqlight: if it is not in roaming mode, then it wont
[00:48] <gpm> alraune: also when it doesn't my system becomes very sluggish
[00:48] <lebutcherpc> but we have to be patient
[00:48] <phantomcircuit> serkan`c, jeez i click it and it gives me a list of them
[00:48] <phantomcircuit> but if i right click and do the wireless preferences it doesn't
[00:48] <phantomcircuit> "Edit Wireless Networks" isn't what i wanted i guess
[00:48] <phantomcircuit> :(
[00:48] <FloodBot1> phantomcircuit: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[00:48] <Blaqlight> serkan`c: I know
[00:48] <Kevin`> phantomcircuit: click it in the list
[00:48] <phantomcircuit> hello?
[00:49] <serkan`c> phantomcircuit: so you can see wireless list there?
[00:49] <lebutcherpc> at least its not freezing and slowing down my pc anymore
[00:49] <alraune> gpm:sudo apt-get install linux-ubuntu-modules-$(uname -r)
[00:49] <Blaqlight> phantomcircuit: single left click then manual configuration
[00:49] <phantomcircuit> argh
[00:49] <serkan`c> just clicking is not working phantomcircuit ? did i miss the question?
[00:50] <phantomcircuit> no it got confused
[00:50] <phantomcircuit> :|
[00:50] <gpm> alraune: already installed....they're in the default installation iirc
[00:50] <Blaqlight> lol
[00:50] <serkan`c> phantomcircuit: is your connection in the list?
[00:50] <alraune> gpm:did you uncomment the sources.list, did an udate&upgrade ?
[00:50] <phantomcircuit> serkan`c, yeah i got it from here
[00:50] <Blaqlight> phantomcircuit: single left click then manaul configuration then "unlock' then bullet next to raoming mode.
[00:51] <phantomcircuit> it's just that figuring out where the list is is none obvious
[00:51] <gpm> alraune: i've done a dist-upgrade, but with the default sources.list
[00:51] <serkan`c> wait, what is the problem then phantomcircuit :D
[00:51] <gpm> alraune: which i think includes main...
[00:51] <serkan`c> just clicking on your connection name not working?
[00:51] <phantomcircuit> i couldnt find the damn list in the first place!
[00:51] <serkan`c> and you found now?
[00:51] <phantomcircuit> i mis understood the purpose of "Edit Wireless Networks"
[00:51] <Blaqlight> lol
[00:51] <alraune> gpm:paste your /etc/apt/sources.list
[00:52] <Blaqlight> gpm don't forget to use pastebin.ubuntu.com
[00:53] <alraune> ﻿Blaqlight: lol
[00:53] <phantomcircuit_> ALRIGHT
[00:53] <phantomcircuit_> now im on wireless
[00:53] <phantomcircuit_> is there some way to be connected through both wired and wireless at the same time?
[00:53] <Blaqlight> phantomcircuit: type /msg nickserv ghost phantomcircuit password
[00:53] <amrik> Hi, how do I get pidgin to display timestamps in 24 hour format?

[00:55] <alraune> gpm: looks good,   sudo apt-get update  && sudo apt-get upgrade
[00:55] <gpm> alraune: already done
[00:55] <Blaqlight> phantomcircuit_: is there a window nearby?
[00:55] <amrik> Nevermind I got it, use the message timestamp format plugin
[00:55] <zombieball> plouffe: i get that in windows sometimes too! haha
[00:55] <phantomcircuit_> im getting it in xchat firefox and evolution
[00:55] <plouffe> zombieball: never had that in windows
[00:56] <Blaqlight> phantomcircuit_: you can use your orginal username now thats why you ghosted it :P
[00:56] <phantomcircuit_> Blaqlight, meh
[00:56] <sisto> plouffe, it might be a problem with pulseaudio

[00:59] <Graham> Can anyone help me install sound card drivers on ubuntu>
[00:59] <rburnes> On Ubuntu gutsy - I just got a 24 inch widescreen lcd capable of 1920x1200 - everything works perfectly using NV driver, but not nvidia (just installed latest legacy driver) at 1920x1200 - nvidia driver works fine at 1600x1200 (when starting up) but when I start nvidia in 16x12 I can switch to 1920x1200 without issues - any ideas?
[01:00] <zappitelli16> Hello, can someone help me? I've been having trouble trying to install my printer. I'm running gutsy and my printer is a HP Deskjet 5440.
[01:00] <alraune> Graham: sudo apt-get install alsa-base alsa-firmware-loaders alsa-oss alsa-source alsa-tools	alsa-tools-gui	alsa-utils alsamixergui	
[01:00] <Graham> type all that into terminal?
[01:00] <serkan`c> phantomcircuit: it is like a graphical card driver problem
[01:01] <Radnom> hey
[01:01] <rburnes> so it starts gdm / x fine at 1600x1200, and I can switch from there to 1920x1200 fine, but starting at 1920x1200 doesn't work
[01:01] <phantomcircuit> serkan`c, im using the nVidia restricted driver :|
[01:01] <Radnom> does anyone know how to get real player working?
[01:01] <phantomcircuit> it worked fine on this laptop under freebsd
[01:01] <alraune> Graham: (NICK!)  yes
[01:01] <Graham> NICK!
[01:02] <serkan`c> phantomcircuit: i am not sure, then
[01:02] <alraune> Graham: write the nick to answer, otherwise your message is going under
[01:02] <rburnes> is there any way I can change the resolution from command line on a per session basis? like the gnome screen resolution system?
[01:03] <alraune> gpm: ?
[01:03] <Blaqlight> phantomcircuit: you can't compare the two os's
[01:03] <sisto> graham cracker
[01:03] <sisto> i love em
[01:03] <jereme> debuild enables you to compile into a deb package
[01:04] <Graham> plain or cinnomen?
[01:04] <sisto> with marshmellow and hershey
[01:04] <jereme> so rather than run make install, delete the source and never have a way to cleanup, you make a deb of it
[01:04] <sisto> plain
[01:04] <zombieball> rburnes: custom xorg.conf ?
[01:04] <Graham> i love the cinnamon ones

[01:05] <gaintsura> hey all... I can't seem to add any workspaces... can anyone help me out?
[01:05] <Blaqlight> gaintsura: right click inside the pager
[01:05] <fossuser> compiz fusion channel?
[01:05] <crdlb> fossuser: #compiz-fusion
[01:05] <gaintsura> Blaqlight: I did, but there was no workspace number setting
[01:06] <gaintsura> Dialog Workspaces: Columns (2) Rows(1) (OK) (Cancel)
[01:06] <gaintsura> thats all there is
[01:06] <Blaqlight> gaintsura: lemme start a gnomesession one second.
[01:06] <gaintsura> kthx
[01:07] <Blaqlight> gaintsura: up the number of columns
[01:07] <gpm> alraune: now when i try to play sounds it just sits there
[01:07] <gaintsura> Blaqlight: did that, but I still cant switch to the other workspaces
[01:08] <alraune> gpm: we are on the way..  did the long apt-command ?
[01:08] <Radnom> does anyone know how to get real player working?
[01:08] <gpm> alraune: nevermind, it still gives the errors in VC, just not in the X-terminal-emulator
[01:08] <Sydero> try ctrl+fx
[01:08] <gpm> alraune: yes. thanks, but i've lost interest.
[01:08] <Sydero> with x being a number
[01:08] <Blaqlight> gaintsura: did it actually add the workspace to the pager?
[01:08] <gpm> alraune: i'll try again later
[01:08] <gpm> i don't think you're on to anything, no offense
[01:09] <gaintsura> Blaqlight: there are three boxes there now, but the other2 are grayed out
[01:09] <Blaqlight> gaintsura: easiest way is to CTRL ALT BKSP to restart x server
[01:10] <gaintsura> Blaqlight: it still doesnt show up, tried that
[01:10] <Blaqlight> ok then logout and then back in gaintsura
[01:11] <gaintsura> Blaqlight: ok, brb
[01:13] <AljosHa> Hello folks, can i host more name servers at 1 mashine?i mean ns1.blabla.com ns2, and ns1.beeee.com, ns2.beee.com also, so i mean to share bind on 2 name servers, cos of some domains allready configured on that ns'es?
[01:13] <epirai> hi
[01:13] <Blaqlight> !hi | epirai
[01:14] <gaintsura> Blaqlight: no go
[01:14] <epirai> my internet is working very slow, it seems that is related with the DNS
[01:14] <gaintsura> even in compiz I can't change the number of workspaces
[01:14] <epirai> becuase firefox tell me that is resolving, and wget too
[01:14] <Blaqlight> gaintsura: ok then remove the pager from the panel then readd it
[01:14] <epirai> and if i do a ping
[01:14] <gaintsura> Blaqlight:  did that before, still didn't change anything
[01:15] <ymanton> any shell script people around? i want to replace in a text file a specifc line whose number i know
[01:15] <Blaqlight> gaintsura: only other idea I have left is add like 4 or 5 workspaces and see if it affects anything.
[01:15] <lebutcherpc> im gonna ask again sorry for this stupid question

[01:40] <zombieball> grkblood: what was your problem btw?
[01:40] <Blaqlight> eitreach: did you check ps ax for other things that may be running?
[01:40] <eitreach> Blaqlight: I've caught it hanging several times today too, for no apparent reason.
[01:40] <Yondering> anybody familiar with using a usb laser printer from 8.04?
[01:40] <eitreach> Blaqlight: ps ax?
[01:40] <Pituzofi> i have windows and ubuntu in same hd diferent  partitions  how do i insert ubuntu inthe boot.ini
[01:40] <grkblood> why wont cd /usr/lib/xscreensaver && ./flurry -root run as my background?
[01:40] <Pelo> alraune, I'm usualy the guy who helps with this problem  , I just lost my old menu.lst file , so I'm a bit lost
[01:40] <Blaqlight> type 'ps ax' in a termianl
[01:41] <Sydero> just use grub Pituzofi
[01:41] <Pituzofi> where do i get it from?
[01:41] <RequinB4> !wubi | Pituzofi
[01:41] <Blaqlight> Pituzofi: use grub versus windows bootloader
[01:41] <Pelo> grkblood, not sure gnome supports animateb background
[01:41] <Sydero> or lilo
[01:41] <Blaqlight> !grub | Pituzofi
[01:41] <alraune> Pelo: c, reinstall grub ...
[01:41] <grkblood> i think nautilus is on
[01:41] <grkblood> how do i turn that off
[01:41] <kitche> Pituzofi: bit advance so be careful http://bkpavan.wordpress.com/2008/04/02/how-to-boot-linux-using-windows-bootloader-xp/
[01:42] <grkblood> i only know about scripting, thats why i ask a stupid question prolly
[01:42] <shane_> grkblood: killall nautilus
[01:42] <Pelo> alraune, I do not want to reinstall grub ,I just have one line to edit , I just need to figure out what the mistake is,  I need someone's menu.lst file to compare,  my grub is heavily customised
[01:42] <grkblood> not pkill?
[01:42] <rblst> Fidel_: you can enable the multiverse repo in System->Administration->Software sources, or by manually adding an appropriate lines sources.list
[01:42] <grkblood> ok
[01:42] <Pituzofi>  thanks for the links ill check them out
[01:42] <zombieball> Pituzofi: ubuntu should've installed grub for you?
[01:42] <pist0l-fish> hi there, I wanted to use apt-get to get the .deb package manager. I couldn't quite find it. Does anyone know if it is in the default ubuntu 8.04 repository list? if so, what package name would I search for/install?
[01:42] <arcticpenguin> how can i control my computers fan speeds?
[01:42] <eitreach> Blaqlight: what should I look for? I had to restart nautilus before, because it made my system practically stand still.
[01:42] <Pituzofi> but all it sayd was reboot computer i clicked yes
[01:42] <Fidel_> but this is a comand line server
[01:42] <Sydero> just use synatic instead pist0l-fish
[01:42] <RequinB4> !package gdebi
[01:43] <Pituzofi> and after that it loaded windows
[01:43] <alraune> Pelo: on this machine I have no dualboot, but can paste my menu.lst
[01:43] <zombieball> arcticpenguin: can do this from your bios sometimes
[01:43] <legend2440> pist0l-fish: open   system>admin>synaptic
[01:43] <alraune> Pelo: want it ?
[01:43] <Pelo> arcticpenguin, install lm-sensors,   run the sensors-detect command,  then pwm command and put fancontrol in yoru /etc/rc.local file
[01:43] <pist0l-fish> will do, thanks
[01:43] <Pelo> alraune, I need a menu.lst for a dual boot machine
[01:43] <grkblood> it comes right back on
[01:43] <rblst> Fidel_: then edit sources.list
[01:43] <Blaqlight> Im sorry eitreach use 'top' instead
[01:44] <alraune> Pelo: you can figure out HD's with fdisk -l  ...
[01:44] <legend2440> pist0l-fish: see if gdebi and gdebi-core are installed
[01:44] <Pelo> alraune, that's not the issue,
[01:44] <Codemaster> okay, so... I have Dovecot installed on Hardy and I check it's version - it says it is 1.0.3, but i check the website and supposedly for hardy, dovecot is supposed to be 1.0.10 - what's up with that?
[01:44] <Codemaster> i have done aptitude update/upgrade/dist-upgrade
[01:44] <techsupport> how can i copy directories between two different linux machines in terminal ?
[01:45] <alraune> Pelo: you didn't crash any mbr ? what is your problem then ?
[01:45] <Codemaster> techsupport: scp
[01:45] <pist0l-fish> does anyone know what the package would be called in synaptic?
[01:45] <grkblood> tech
[01:45] <Pelo> alraune, meet me in #grub
[01:45] <grkblood> i already answered u

[01:48] <tlove> hello, I need dire help with wine + ventrilo, if anyone can please help me out with it send me a message kindly.
[01:48] <legend2440> pist0l-fish: to install packages from terminal its      sudo apt-get install <packagename>
[01:48] <RandomUser> I was trying to get real player to work inside my VirtualBOX on ubuntu and it wouldn't work at all, until I disabled the Vista Firewall
[01:49] <Blaqlight> eitreach: right now python is using the most CPU and memory
[01:49] <OzFalcon> tlove. find the wine irc. You will get much better help there.
[01:49] <RandomUser> Yes it's a Vista host
[01:49] <tlove> oh lawl
[01:49] <eitreach> Blaqlight: yes.. I was just wondering if there was a known problem with Nautilus, seeing it used so much ram.
[01:49] <OzFalcon> Why is Linux so USELESS with webcams?
[01:49] <arcticpenguin> Pelo: how can i see my fans RPM?
[01:49] <pist0l-fish> legend2440: i know, but i have .deb package a friend gave me and I don't normally use deb so I was trying to sudo apt-get install something to handle debs but i couldn't find it. It's okay, it's all good now
[01:50] <Blaqlight> eitreach: not sure, are all of you gnome updates installed?
[01:50] <Pelo> arcticpenguin,  in the terminal type sensors ,  you can also install xsensors
[01:50] <OzFalcon> I have two webcams. They just pug in to windows and god damn work. Ubuntu just doesn't work.
[01:50] <eitreach> Blaqlight: yes.
[01:50] <Blaqlight> are you using the 'proposed' branch of the repos?
[01:50] <kingjere> LaserLine: what is the ID number assosiated with it when you do lsusb
[01:50] <Sydero> pist0l-fish: use dpkg -i
[01:50] <pist0l-fish> anyways, i'm out- thanks. Next time I'll double-click in gnome before I assume I don't have something
[01:50] <Sydero> not apt-get
[01:50] <pist0l-fish> Sydero: I understand. I thought dpkg was named deb for some reason
[01:50] <OzFalcon> Windows doesn't even need drivers. They just work. But linux - Hours of rooting round and still can't get them to work.
[01:50] <Pelo> arcticpenguin, http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Feisty  check out this link under fancontrol , but get back to me before you do the fancontrol setup stuff, it's gotten much easier
[01:50] <RandomUser> OxFalcon, perhaps you want to pay someone to make your webcams work?
[01:50] <pist0l-fish> haha I know apt-get != dpkg
[01:50] <eitreach> Blaqlight: yes.
[01:51] <thinh> what the command to fix the windows border for firefox anyone?
[01:51] <grkblood> so noone knows how to kill nautilus and keep it killed?
[01:51] <Sydero> dpkg -i is used to install .deb
[01:51] <pist0l-fish> Sydero: I understand :'( >_<
[01:51] <RandomUser> OzFalcon, perhaps you want to pay someone to make your webcams work?
[01:51] <Sydero> k
[01:51] <LaserLine> kingjere: Bus 001 Device 005: ID 07b3:045d Plustek, Inc. (that's all it says)
[01:51] <eitreach> grkblood: head into your session-options. Toggle the Restart off.
[01:51] <Blaqlight> eitreach: you have the 'proposed' branch enabled?
[01:51] <Drk_Guy> I'm smelling something REAL fishy here
[01:51] <eitreach> Blaqlight: yes..
[01:51] <Drk_Guy> I think it has sth to do with the TCP/IP stack of the kernel
[01:52] <OzFalcon> RandomUser, No thanks. Im competent enough with linux. But webcams are very poorly supported.
[01:52] <Drk_Guy> I've opened the aMule's port, but the port-test says it's open, but nothing is listening on it
[01:52] <Blaqlight> eitreach: just a friendly suggestion, disable that, its can't ever be a good thing unless your actually debugging those programs.
[01:52] <Drk_Guy> Though i have aMule open
[01:52] <rblst> OzFalcon: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam  and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeWebCams is useful too _before_ you buy a webcam
[01:52] <eitreach> OzFalcon: then why are you ranting on a support channel, if you're so competent?
[01:52] <eitreach> Blaqlight: alright.
[01:52] <Pelo> brb
[01:52] <RandomUser> OzFalcon, maybe there's a project out there to that can assist you?
[01:52] <Drk_Guy> Really weird
[01:53] <Blaqlight> eitreach: you probably installed a proposed update that isn't fully implemented yet.
[01:53] <OzFalcon> rblst, yeah. looked at both those.
[01:53] <Yondering> nobody familiar with usb printers here? :)
[01:53] <Sydero> hmmm?
[01:53] <kingjere> LaserLine: Do sudo scanimage -L
[01:53] <techsupport> Codemaster, can i pm you ?
[01:53] <Drk_Guy> Ummm...
[01:54] <Codemaster> no
[01:54] <Codemaster> i haev a lot of problems i am trying to fix myself
[01:54] <LaserLine> kingjere:  I tried that and it says No scanners were identified.
[01:54] <Drk_Guy> Isn't anybody willing to help me out troubleshoot this fishy situation?
[01:54] <Storrgie> Can anyone suggest a solid motherboard for me to buy, I currently run ubuntu on my IP35-pro board... but i want to set up a server
[01:54] <Sydero> a situation involving fish eh
[01:54] <OzFalcon> http://linux-uvc.berlios.de/
[01:55] <Blaqlight> Drk_Guy: if I can't smell it, its no that bad...
[01:55] <RandomUser> Storrgie, who's the manufacturer of your board?
[01:55] <techsupport> Codemaster, using scp as you said, this is the command scp -r sektor@www.selsovet.com:home/sektor/q2server . after asking password for user sektor, returns no such file or directory after
[01:55] <legend2440> OzFalcon: does   lsusb   show the webcam as plugged in?
[01:55] <Drk_Guy> Blaqlight, There's something weird happening with the TCP stack
[01:55] <Storrgie> RandomUser: Abit ip35-pro... great board... but i dunno if i want to spend another 160$ on one
[01:55] <Codemaster> techsupport: add a / in front of home/sektor/...
[01:55] <tlove_> hey the people in the wine irc are like not even on. If anyone has successfully got Ventrilo working with wine could you please help me out? I cannot seem to find/install the correct codecs or something. please help.
[01:55] <Storrgie> RandomUser: I bought a E7200 to go with this
[01:55] <techsupport> Codemaster, tried that same thing
[01:55] <RandomUser> Storrgie, that
[01:55] <Drk_Guy> Blaqlight, i have open ports, but nothing is listening on them, no matter if open the programs or not
[01:55] <Drk_Guy> :(
[01:56] <RandomUser> Storrgie, that's a great board, why switch?
[01:56] <Codemaster> techsupport: you have to put a file before, as well
[01:56] <Storrgie> i want to build another board
[01:56] <Storrgie> another machine
[01:56] <Codemaster> techsupport: ie - scp -r ./ sektor@www.selsovet.com:/home/sektor/q2server
[01:56] <Blaqlight> Drk_Guy: is there a firewall (firestarter) or router in between you an the internet?
[01:56] <Drk_Guy> tlove_, http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?iAppId=2169
[01:56] <Storrgie> see this machine has 6 drives in it, i would like to house my media array in another machine
[01:56] <RequinB4> tlove_: http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?iAppId=2169
[01:57] <RequinB4> Drk_Guy got there first
[01:57] <RandomUser> Storrgie, your best bet is the DG33TL from intel, Awesome board, and very stable
[01:57] <Drk_Guy> Blaqlight, i have a dlink router, Firewall turned off, only IpTables+Firestarter on
[01:57] <Crshman> if i have multiple interfaces on my ubuntu box how do i tell it which interface to use for the default route?
[01:57] <tlove_> Drk_Guy: I've done all of that, and it hasn't solved anything that i haven't already done.
[01:57] <Blaqlight> Firestarter is indeed running?
[01:57] <Storrgie> RandomUser: not enough sata ports, I need a minimum of 6 but would like 8
[01:57] <Drk_Guy> tlove_, Weird
[01:58] <Drk_Guy> Blaqlight, yup, and i'm being portscanned
[01:58] <Drk_Guy> lol
[01:58] <Drk_Guy> Blaqlight, lol, it's freenode's portscanner
[01:58] <Graham> anybody know how to get sound working?
[01:58] <Blaqlight> Drk_Guy: in the gui for firestarter, is the process for your program showing?
[01:58] <Drk_Guy> !sound | graham
[01:58] <RandomUser> Storrgie, get larger drives, and use a network attached storage device, or the Included E-Sata port
[01:58] <tlove_> Drk_guy: well it says im missing the 6.10 codec. It wont even work.
[01:58] <Drk_Guy> Blaqlight, Yup
[01:58] <Drk_Guy> tlove_, Weird
[01:59] <Storrgie> RandomUser: i have 5x500 drives right now, i dont really wanna start building another array
[01:59] <tlove_> drk_guy, i cant hear anyone or use my ptt button.
[01:59] <Drk_Guy> tlove_, try #winehq_social
[01:59] <tlove_> drk_guy alright
[01:59] <RandomUser> Storrgie, then what's the issue?
[01:59] <Blaqlight> Drk_Guy: so its going out according to iptables, start with your router
[01:59] <kingjere> LaserLine: your scanner doesn't appear to be officially supported by sane.
[01:59] <Drk_Guy> Blaqlight, huh?
[01:59] <Blaqlight> Drk_Guy: explicitly allow the program
[02:00] <kingjere> LaserLine: per their website
[02:00] <tlove_> Drk_guy, there is nobody in social. lol
[02:00] <jbronner> dernet.org
[02:00] <Drk_Guy> Blaqlight, Ummm... dlink's firewall is turned off dude
[02:00] <lebutcherpc> connot watch youtube videos on firefox
[02:00] <lebutcherpc> can anybody help
[02:00] <kingjere> In fact the product ID isn't listed.
[02:00] <Phan> did you installed Flash ?
[02:00] <lebutcherpc> yes
[02:00] <Blaqlight> Drk_Guy: mine on my router is too, it still stopped things from going out
[02:01] <techsupport> Codemaster, this worked better, but didnt copy contents of the directory of /home/sektor/
[02:01] <Phan> Is flash in other website display properly ?
[02:01] <Drk_Guy> Blaqlight, so, should i activate DMZ?
[02:01] <lebutcherpc> no
[02:01] <Codemaster> techsupport: might be scp -R, then; take a look at the man pages
[02:01] <lebutcherpc> but its installed
[02:01] <Storrgie> RandomUser: i dont want to install the OS on the array
[02:01] <Blaqlight> Drk_Guy: I still had to explicitly allow the program
[02:01] <RandomUser> Crldb, is it possible to run desktop effects in Ubuntu as a guest os in Virtual BOX?
[02:01] <Codemaster> anyone good with dovecot/LDAP in here?
[02:01] <Storrgie> the array will be OS independant
[02:01] <Phan> type about:plugins and see if flash is installed there
[02:02] <Drk_Guy> Blaqlight, Umm, that's like port-forwarding
[02:02] <RandomUser> Storrgie, is the OS on your current array?
[02:02] <serkan`c> i think -R doesnt work for scp, use -r
[02:02] <lebutcherpc> already did it is
[02:02] <Storrgie> RandomUser: nope, on a raptor drive
[02:02] <lebutcherpc> its shockwave
[02:02] <Blaqlight> Drk_Guy: yeah
[02:02] <Blaqlight> Drk_Guy: forward the ports
[02:02] <Phan> Shockwave Flash or Shockwave only ?
[02:03] <Drk_Guy> Blaqlight, i'm going to enable DMZ
[02:03] <OzFalcon> legend2440, Yes. I have even got /dev/video0 but when I try and use it. Nothing is detected.
[02:03] <RandomUser> Storrgie, Don't know what to tell you, because that board would handle what you want, and so would plenty of other.
[02:03] <jameslr> hello all
[02:03] <keri> #club-ubuntu
[02:03] <Phan> currently shockwave only availabe for Windows
[02:03] <techsupport> Codemaster, looking at man scp     -r      Recursively copy entire directories.
[02:03] <Codemaster> anyone good with dovecot/LDAP in here?
 i think -R doesnt work for scp, use -r techsupport :D
[02:04] <lebutcherpc> shockwave flash
[02:04] <jameslr> you can use rsync with ssh
[02:04] <techsupport> serkan`c, using that, not copying the contents of directory
[02:04] <Codemaster> anyone good with dovecot/LDAP in here?
[02:04] <serkan`c> it must be
[02:04] <lebutcherpc> should i try something else
[02:04] <legend2440> OzFalcon: have you tried the package called    cheese   its in synaptic...  some have said that kind of kick started their webcams to start working for some reason
[02:04] <Phan> did you try opera ?
[02:05] <serkan`c> scp -r the_dir user@ip:/target_dir
[02:05] <serkan`c> techsupport:
[02:05] <lebutcherpc> opera?
[02:05] <lebutcherpc> no
[02:05] <Drk_Guy> Blaqlight, Can't find DMZ option
[02:05] <OzFalcon> legend2440, tried cheese, camorama, mplayer, skype. Nothing works
[02:05] <techsupport> serkan`c, scp -r ./ sektor@www.selsovet.com:/home/sektor/q2server/
[02:05] <Blaqlight> ugh @ d-link routers.
[02:05] <lebutcherpc> how do i getit
[02:05] <Codemaster> anyone good with dovecot/LDAP in here?
[02:05] <techsupport> serkan`c, my syntax
[02:06] <Phan> http://opera.com
[02:06] <serkan`c> what is ./ ?
[02:06] <techsupport> Sergeant_Pony, . means here
[02:06] <Codemaster> anyone good with dovecot/LDAP in here?
[02:06] <alraune> ﻿ebutcherpc:sudo apt-get install opera
[02:06] <jameslr> Codemaster: have you tried https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DovecotLDAP
[02:06] <serkan`c> i know . shows the current dir techsupport :D
[02:06] <Codemaster> jameslr: yes
[02:07] <glitsj16> hi all
[02:07] <serkan`c> why dont you use exact path name techsupport ?
[02:07] <lollydays> help! I can't get my sound to work. alsamixer sliders are up, tried alsa in sound prefs, can't get anything
[02:07] <Blaqlight> Drk_Guy: most people I know with d-link routers usually throw them away in favor of the windows firewall... its a sign of just how bad they really are.
[02:07] <porter> Is there a net install disc avaliable for hardy?
[02:07] <jameslr> Codemaster: what are you needing help with exactly?
[02:07] <Drk_Guy> Blaqlight, Umm, they use µclinux, right?
[02:07] <lebutcherpc> do i uninstall the shockwave first
[02:07] <alraune> porter: yup
[02:07] <crimsun> lollydays: please run the alsa-info.sh script and tell me the url.
[02:07] <techsupport> serkan`c, you wanna connect to my screen ?
[02:08] <Codemaster> jameslr: I'm having an issue with it where it tosses an error code 32 ("no such object") when dovecot queries ldap when the object most definitely exists (looking at it right now and it even responded properly to manual queries)
[02:08] <Drk_Guy> Blaqlight, BRB
[02:08] <s33nagain> I finally got 8.04 working... That took all day!
[02:08] <Blaqlight> Drk_Guy: Ill brb in 5 minutes sorry.
[02:08] <serkan`c> techsupport: could be
[02:08] <serkan`c> before going to sleep :)
[02:08] <lollydays> crimsun, will do
[02:08] <jameslr> Codemaster: where does it error? What are you doing when it errors?
[02:09] <alraune> ﻿s33nagain: congratiolations.. we're all little weird
[02:09] <Codemaster> jameslr: simply trying to log into my dovecot imap server from thunderbird... i am viewing syslog on my mail box and ldap box
[02:09] <Yondering> apparently 8.04 still has the foo2zjs bug..
[02:09] <techsupport> serkan`c, http://pastebin.com/m246f0ed6
[02:09] <FLUbuntu> Just out of curiosity, how does one disable the <user> entered the room, <user> left the room prompts?
[02:10] <techsupport> serkan`c, as you can see it only copied hidden files, but not contents such as other directories
[02:10] <serkan`c> techsupport: try like that
[02:10] <serkan`c> scp -r /home/orudie/* sektor@www.selsovet.com:/home/sektor/q2server/
[02:10] <lollydays> crimsun, http://pastebin.ca/1089126
[02:10] <hhp2k> Hey everyone.  I had recently turned on the option to group similar windows in the window selector bar "always" - now I can't remember how to turn it off.  Does anyone know where this setting is? Thanks.
[02:11] <techsupport> serkan`c, /home/orudie/*: No such file or directory
[02:11] <serkan`c> how techsupport ?
[02:11] <legend2440> FLUbuntu: which irc  client    xchat?
[02:11] <techsupport> serkan`c, dont know, thats what i'm getting
[02:12] <s33nagain> alraune: First I had 7.10, I tried to upgrade, but it got stuck... so then it rebooted itself, and It wouldn't let me log in... So at the time I had a 6.06 disc and a 7.04 disc. My options were get 7.04, upgrade to 7.10, then 8.04, or get 6.06 and upgrade to 8.04. SO I did number 2. But then It said it had an error getting the packages, so I had to download the alternative disc, and upgrade... whew!
[02:12] <serkan`c> so weirdbro techsupport
[02:12] <FLUbuntu> Pidgin
[02:12] <serkan`c> ops :D
[02:12] <techsupport> serkan`c, can I do this with FTP ?
[02:12] <Codemaster> jameslr: i have a highly detailed LDAP log if you'd like to take a look
[02:12] <serkan`c> techsupport: dou you have GUI?
[02:12] <crimsun> lollydays: you need a newer version of ALSA than what's distributed with linux-backports-modules-$(uname -r)
[02:12] <serkan`c> i meant is it server?
[02:13] <serkan`c> or dou have installed nautilus?
[02:13] <Drk_Guy> Blaqlight, Ok, enabled router's firewall and port-forwarded
[02:13] <alraune> ﻿s33nagain: this way, verybody gets an expert, lol
[02:13] <Yondering> yay, fixed my printer..  now, if only I could remember wth I wanted to print in the first place..
[02:13] <lollydays> crimsun, ok, so how does one obtain the newer version?
[02:13] <techsupport> serkan`c, the machine i'm on now has gui, the 2 machines that i'm trying to copy files between are servers
[02:13] <s33nagain> alraune: lol... yay!
[02:13] <lollydays> crimsun, i have 2.6.22-15-generic
[02:13] <Blaqlight> Drk_Guy: is it working ?
[02:14] <Codemaster> jameslr: http://www.pastebin.ca/1089129
[02:14] <Drk_Guy> Blaqlight, gonna check
[02:14] <crimsun> lollydays: you need to download and compile alsa-driver-1.0.17 from upstream's web site.
[02:14] <serkan`c> techsupport: ok then use natilus
[02:14] <Drk_Guy> Blaqlight, Still, low-id
[02:14] <serkan`c> *nautilus
[02:14] <Blaqlight> lollydays: your using an old version of the kernel.
[02:14] <glitsj16> FLUbuntu: there's a pidgin plugin you can activate, called join/part hiding
[02:14] <lollydays> Blaqlight, I'm still running gutsy because hardy has suspend problems with my laptop
[02:15] <Blaqlight> lollydays: oh I C
[02:15] <mr_dallas> is there any ubuntu equivalent to http://packages.debian.org?
[02:15] <adam7> mr_dallas: packages.ubuntu.com
[02:15] <s33nagain> Does anyone know the apt-get package for LAMP? I need to install it!
[02:15] <lollydays> crimsun, uptream's site?
[02:15] <mr_dallas> adam7: thankyou!
[02:15] <Blaqlight> Drk_Guy: hmm this is quite perplexing.
[02:15] <crimsun> lollydays: www.alsa-project.org
[02:16] <Drk_Guy> Blaqlight, now connections are timed-out
[02:16] <adam7> s33nagain: if you have synaptic you can use Edit -> Mark Packages by Task
[02:16] <serkan`c> techsupport: ?
[02:16] <Drk_Guy> Blaqlight, not refused, but timed out
[02:16] <techsupport> serkan`c, i dont have it, i'm on windows connecting through putty
[02:16] <Blaqlight> Drk_Guy: the request is going out but something isn't letting em back in
[02:16] <s33nagain> Yea but I don't know what the package's name is.
[02:16] <serkan`c> hmmm
[02:16] <lollydays> crimsun, thanks
[02:16] <hhp2k> ﻿Hey everyone.  I had recently turned on the option to group similar windows in the window selector bar "always" - now I can't remember how to turn it off.  Does anyone know where this setting is? Thanks.
[02:16] <Blaqlight> which could be firestarter now,
[02:16] <Graham> any help installing a printer?
[02:17] <serkan`c> techsupport: scp -r trick must work imho
[02:17] <s33nagain> adam7: ﻿Yea but I don't know what the package's name is.
[02:17] <serkan`c> i dont know where is the problem
[02:17] <crimsun> lollydays: if you need assistance, ping me in #ubuntu-audio-help
[02:17] <Drk_Guy> Blaqlight, NAT is on, w/o it i can't browse internet
[02:17] <adam7> s33nagain: do that, and I think it'll be obvious
[02:17] <KenBW22> Graham: whats the problem
[02:17] <lollydays> crimsun, sure, thanks
[02:17] <Blaqlight> Drk_Guy: are the ports listed in policy in firestarter?
[02:17] <Drk_Guy> Blaqlight, Yup
[02:18] <adam7> s33nagain: if you go to edit -> mark packages by task, you'll see a thing that says LAMP server
[02:18] <Rauzyth> nick ko_ko
[02:18] <Drk_Guy> Blaqlight, Firestarter blacklisted amule.org
[02:18] <Blaqlight> Drk_Guy: and your sure they are the right port/port ranges?
[02:18] <kindofabuzz> why does my /etc/network/interfaces get erased when i switch wireless to roaming mode?
[02:18] <Drk_Guy> Blaqlight, I'm getting alerts of traffic coming from it
[02:18] <s33nagain> adam7: :-D did not see that!
[02:18] <Blaqlight> Drk_Guy: thats never good.
[02:18] <crimsun> kindofabuzz: because, by default, network-manager takes over interfaces(5)
[02:19] <s33nagain> adam7: THANKS!
[02:19] <crimsun> kindofabuzz: to prevent that, you'd need to explicitly add interfaces /without/ "auto iface .."
[02:19] <Blaqlight> Drk_Guy: for purposes of this, disable firestarter
[02:19] <adam7> s33nagain: but for future reference, I think the package names are apache2, mysql-server, php5
[02:19] <Drk_Guy> Blaqlight, It works fine
[02:19] <Drk_Guy> Blaqlight, if i disable FS, it works just fine
[02:19] <kindofabuzz> crimsun: well i'm trying to set a static ip and some wpa2 sttings, but once i get them set, wireless isn't even an option, so i have to put back onto roaming, then wireless works but without my settings
[02:20] <Blaqlight> Drk_Guy: ok so firestarter is your problem
[02:20] <kindofabuzz> crimsun: i was following http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=202834 for WPA2
[02:20] <Drk_Guy> Blaqlight, Reconfiguring it...
[02:20] <Blaqlight> lol
[02:20] <xynthpop> Anyone know the best way to retrieve a lost password and login on hardy after it's installed?
[02:20] <s33nagain> adam7: ? I just want to install them at the same time,,, much easier!
[02:20] <amenado> xynthpop-> use the liveCD to set a new password
[02:21] <xynthpop> so reinstall basically amenado?
[02:21] <adam7> s33nagain: yeah -- sudo apt-get install apache2 mysql-server php5 -- But I think the mark packages by task thing did it for you so you're all set :D
[02:21] <legend2440> !lamp | s33nagain
[02:21] <adam7> xynthpop: boot into recovery mode from GRUB and run passwd USER from that prompt
[02:21] <amenado> xynthpop-> nope, you mount the /  within the liveCD
[02:22] <xynthpop> thanks adam, thanks amenado
[02:23] <s33nagain> adam7: Thanks, I'll remember that!
[02:23] <s33nagain> legend2440: Thanks!
[02:23] <serkan`c> techsupport: i tried again in here, it is working
[02:24] <xynthpop> adam7: Just to be sure i've got it right, i type: >passwd USER and then i'll be able to change it?
[02:24] <adam7> xynthpop: yep. then type reboot to reboot
[02:25] <xynthpop> kewl
[02:25] <xynthpop> thanks again
[02:25] <adam7> no problem
[02:25] <Blaqlight> Drk_Guy: any luck?
[02:25] <s33nagain> xynthpop: That's how I did it before we had X (or at least it was purposeful... 1999...)
[02:25] <Drk_Guy> Blaqlight, Had to fix a script because my system is in spanish ;)
[02:25] <Blaqlight> Drk_Guy: nice
[02:26] <Crshman> anyone know how to change the default routes interface
[02:26] <Drk_Guy> lol
[02:26] <xynthpop> i'd give it a try but i'm not too good at mounting things, lol
[02:26] <adam7> Crshman: like sudo route add default gw some_ip_here?
[02:26] <roccity> hi guys
[02:26] <xynthpop> thanks you guys
[02:26] <Crshman> adam7, i tried that but it still uses the old interface
[02:26] <roccity> anyone have any luck with phillips gogear
[02:26] <roccity> and amarok sync
[02:26] <Drk_Guy> Blaqlight, Now firestarter is working fine
[02:26] <Drk_Guy> :)
[02:26] <hhp2k> Hey everyone.. is there any way to increase the DPI in Ubuntu?  This issue has actually been one of the primary issues that I've strayed away from Ubuntu.. the screen resolution is set to 1280 x 1024, but it feels like 1024x768 because the fonts are so large, and there seems to be less screen space.  In comparison to my windows box, Icon fonts are much smaller, and there seems to be more screen real estate.  So again, 
[02:27] <adam7> Crshman: I take it you have 2 interfaces up?
[02:27] <Blaqlight> Drk_Guy: is the other program the same?
[02:27] <Crshman> adam7, correct
[02:27] <Sydero> yes hhp2k
[02:27] <kingjere> does anyone have a cups printer shared over the internet and if so would you be willing to let me see your cupsd.conf?
[02:27] <Sydero> it should be in your system settings
[02:27] <kingjere> redacted of course ;)
[02:27] <Drk_Guy> Blaqlight, Now i have high id :D
[02:27] <Drk_Guy> Thanks Blaqlight
[02:28] <Blaqlight> Drk_Guy: alright so your all good.
[02:28] <Drk_Guy> Blaqlight, :D
[02:28] <hhp2k> Sydero: System > Preferences > Screen Resolution doesn't have an option for DPI.  Let me keep looking.
[02:28] <Sydero> it would be under something like fonts
[02:28] <hhp2k> Sydero: Okay. Thanks.
[02:28] <lampliter> I need to copy many hundreds of megabytes of files from an external drive to DVDs.  The file should be stored in a file system on the DVD and not in some binary format.  Any ideas on what tools I could use to do this?
[02:29] <s33nagain> Sydero: Appearance?
[02:29] <Sydero> maybe
[02:29] <serkan`c> exactly in there
[02:29] <hhp2k> Sydero: The DPI setting is in Appearance > Fonts > Details
[02:29] <s33nagain> Sydero: In the fonts thing you could just lower the PT.
[02:29] <serkan`c> System-Preferences-Appeaence
[02:29] <hhp2k> Sydero: But it's set to 96 DPI, the same setting as windows.
[02:30] <s33nagain> Sydero: hhp2k beat me to it!
[02:30] <Sydero> then just decrease the font sizes
[02:30] <techsupport> serkan`c, you there still ?
[02:30] <LanceMartin> hhp2k -- I just spent half a day playing with resolution settings using System - Preferences - Screen Resolution ...
[02:30] <serkan`c> techsupport: yeah
[02:30] <CostaRicanQuaker> I thought i had installed ubuntu-studio with synaptic, but i just restarted the computer and it wasn't listed in hte session type?what do i have to do?
[02:30] <techsupport> serkan`c, can i pm you ?
[02:30] <serkan`c> sure techsupport
[02:30] <hhp2k> LanceMartin: What was your goal? Anything?
[02:31] <s33nagain> CostaRicanQuaker: Ubuntu also uses GNOME... so it would be there. It should just install the theme and the Apps...
[02:31] <Blaqlight> !info k9copy
[02:32] <LanceMartin> I had the problem of linux not recognizing my screen -- so I changed monitors, seems to be working better but I am not sure if it is perfect.
[02:32] <hhp2k> Sydero: Decreasing the font sizes gives me the needed look and feel, but the actual screen size still feels too small. :\
[02:32] <cythrawll> where the heck is the package for php5-mbstring?
[02:32] <hhp2k> cythrawll: lol, I read "mbstring" and thought of another word :P
[02:32] <roadfish> I used unetbootin to make a USB boot disk from the 8.04 ISO. But when I reboot, I get 'Could not find kernel image: /ubnkern' ... any idea what's going wrong?
[02:33] <alraune> ﻿LanceMartin:you couldn't find your exact model in the list ?
[02:33] <s33nagain> CostaRicanQuaker: U there?
[02:33] <CostaRicanQuaker> s33nagain: so if i logged on gnome ubuntu studio would showup?
[02:33] <lampliter> Blaqlight: I assume the DVD backup tool was pointed at me?
[02:33] <porter> I have the amd64 alternate installation iso downloading, If i install the 64bit veresion will I not be able to run 32bi fals and most imporantly codeweavers cros over office in order to run microsoft os Students and Teacher Addition 2003?
[02:33] <s33nagain> It should... If it doesn't look like it it is because the Studio theme isn't active...
[02:33] <KOSKERS> ubuntu-cn
[02:33] <KOSKERS> I want to join in the ubuntu-cn
[02:33] <Blaqlight> lampliter: Im not sure if it would help but yeah possibly.
[02:33] <ChrisDavaz> I made a change to /etc/hosts but now it seems that change is gone. Why is /etc/hosts getting overwritten and how do I prevent that?
[02:33] <amenado> roadfish-> can you mount your usb drive and look to see if it is there in the /boot/ ?
[02:34] <LanceMartin> No -- odd too it was a Compaq pretty common brand.
[02:34] <alraune> porter: 32 runs in64
[02:34] <CostaRicanQuaker> s33nagain: ok i will brb, im gonna check it out
[02:34] <s33nagain> CostaRicanQuaker: Ill wait... ;-)
[02:35] <lampliter> Blaqlight: thanks.  I'm just trying to move files off of a portable drive onto a centos server that doesn't seem to have a working USB port.  I could have my laptop sit there for days as it copies but, I really want my own machine back
[02:35] <roadfish> amenado: yes, I have /ubnkern
[02:35] <CrazyTB> huh, is there any problem in installing CPAN modules without using apt-get?
[02:35] <alraune> ﻿LanceMartin:wrtie nick when answering | you know the specs of the screen ?
[02:35] <fiber> hello, i have a quick question (i've searched google and the man pages but this is proving to be unnecessarily painful)... basically, i have vlc outputing images from my webcam, but, how would i make it save these images as png's and NOT open the vlc gui?
[02:35] <Blaqlight> lampliter: ohh. I see
[02:35] <amenado> roadfish-> do you also have the device.map? go see where it is pointing at
[02:36] <glitsj16> cythrawll: libapache2-mod-php5, php5-cgi and php5-cli all have the mbstring extension built in
[02:36] <Blaqlight> lampliter: you could setup some sort of sftp server on the other machine and do the transfers from anywhere.
[02:37] <roadfish> amenado: I don't have device.map
[02:37] <esac> does anybody know how i could profile/time suspend and resume so i can see what is taking time?
[02:37] <LanceMartin> alraune Thank you for the tip ... it has been too long since I participated in a real IRC forum :)
[02:37] <CostaRicanQuaker> s33nagain: it looks likeplain old gnome to me
[02:37] <porter> I have the amd64 alternate installation iso downloading, If i install the 64bit veresion will I not be able to run 32bi fals and most imporantly codeweavers cros over office in order to run microsoft os Students and Teacher Addition 2003?
[02:37] <CostaRicanQuaker> just a few new progs
[02:37] <amenado> roadfish-> then redo your grub install in the usb drive so you'd get that device.map
[02:37] <alraune> ﻿LanceMartin: you know the specs of the screen ?
[02:37] <Blaqlight> lampliter: Im probably way off... just trying to think of a solution that would work.
[02:38] <s33nagain> CostaRicanQuaker: The new look is not used... Goto System>Prefs>Appearance and see if there is a new theme... That is it.
[02:38] <hhp2k> Hey guys, who is having this wsearch.net problem in Firefox??
[02:39] <lampliter> Blaqlight: I am picking up the pieces from some people that didn't think the problem through.  if they had just started copying the files from one Colo facility to another, they would have the files copied by now.  But no, they put them onto a USB drive and shipped it overnight to the other facility where I was supposed to pull them off of the USB drive onto the  destination server
[02:39] <LanceMartin> Alraune I supposed I could have looked up the specs but I was having other problems too ... I might have been able to get the drivers, but in the end I just opted for the easy fix.
[02:39] <Bogus8> why is it that what I fit on a 441gig raid 5 partition (ext3 on debian etchy) won't fit on my new ubuntu system with a 463g raid 5 partition (ext3)?
[02:39] <lampliter> Blaqlight: unfortunately, you can pull data off of this USB drive at a blistering rate of one to 1 1/2 megabytes per second.
[02:39] <Bogus8> and I had 4% free on the old (441gig) drive
[02:39] <Blaqlight> lampliter: lol figures doesn't it?
[02:40] <Bogus8> only 400gigs used
[02:40] <Bogus8> but it's taking up 439gigs when I rsync it over to the new system
[02:40] <genii> Bogus8: Because more than 4% is reserved on the filesystem for superuser
[02:40] <Bogus8> genii: ok, but why would it fit on one system and not another?
[02:40] <lampliter> Blaqlight: it sure does.  And that portable drive is almost full.  So I thought, why not copy the data to DVDs and transfer them that way.  Obvious that, that's not going to be an easy solution either.
[02:40] <s33nagain> CostaRicanQuaker: any luck?
[02:40] <Bogus8> being that the older system is smaller
[02:41] <roadfish> amenado: ok, thanks. so I guess unetbootin doesn't automatically make a device.map file.
[02:41] <genii> Bogus8: See my previous answer
[02:41] <Bogus8> genii: so ubuntu is different in that case?
[02:41] <lampliter> Blaqlight: I think the right solution is go to bed, get to the cola facility before 7 a.m., shut down the machine that having problems and see if there's something wrong in the BIOS.  I think this is one of those moments when the phrase "bloody hell" is totally appropriate
[02:41] <alraune> ﻿LanceMartin: no drivers, but your xorg.conf..  pastebin your /var/log/log/Xorg.0.log
[02:41] <Bogus8> genii: 400gigs of data is now taking up 439 gigs when I rsyned it over to ubuntu
[02:41] <Blaqlight> lampliter: yeah sounds about right.
[02:41] <alraune> !paste >LanceMartin
[02:42] <Bogus8> genii: measuring all this apples to apples (df -h to df -h)
[02:42] <Blaqlight> lampliter: you'd be better off troubleshooting the hardware problem.
[02:42] <CostaRicanQuaker> s33nagain: yes....hmmm, i don't know, i don't ever use gnome...i have kde and xfce installed which i usually log on to, i have only 248 mb memory...and it looks like gnome is set to beryl or compiz fusion..
[02:43] <s33nagain> CostaRicanQuaker: But isn't there a new theme in System > Prefs > Appearance?
[02:43] <CostaRicanQuaker> how do i takeout the effex without it taking away the minimize, maximize, close, buttons and making everything completely unmanageable?
[02:44] <Bogus8> I'm also talking about ACTUAL used space... not "size" as I get that I could have a 463g partition be full at 439g... but I don't see how 400gigs on one system has now become 439gigs
[02:44] <CostaRicanQuaker> yes there's a new theme i'm on it already, i mgiht actualyl start using gnome, however how do i take the effects
[02:44] <AndrewGearhart> Good evening folks. I'm looking for a mechanism to be able to do keyboard macros (example, press a keyboard combination and have the system paste a prescribed block of text). Anybody know of somewhere to start? My searches on Google (after a few days) have led to some solutions on knoppix... but nothing in ubuntu (with gnome).
[02:44] <Fungusman> Hey guys, I was wondering how do I change the icon for a Launcher I created ?
[02:44] <Fungusman> I have a lot of SPRING BOARDS lol
[02:44] <CostaRicanQuaker> how do i take out hte beryl or compiz or whatever without it messingup my system
[02:44] <s33nagain> CostaRicanQuaker: Goto the Visual Effects tab in Appearance in select "None".
[02:45] <Blaqlight> Fungusman: right click on the icon, select properties
[02:45] <hhp2k> ﻿Hey guys, how do I close the buddy window in Ubuntu without exiting the program? (#pidgin isn't responding.)
[02:45] <Blaqlight> Fungusman: then the box the with current icon in it, click it
[02:45] <hhp2k> Oops.
[02:45] <CostaRicanQuaker> s33nagain: i've done that but hwat it causes is for gnome to not work, take away the title bars at the top of windows
[02:45] <pi-meson> Is there a tool under ubuntu to monitor the threads of a process?
[02:45] <hhp2k> ﻿Hey guys, how do I close the buddy window in Pidgin without exiting the program?
[02:46] <s33nagain> CostaRicanQuaker: Wait one moment...
[02:46] <CostaRicanQuaker> kk
[02:46] <Blaqlight> pi-meson: something like htop?
[02:46] <roadfish> amenado: ok, I see what I did wrong ... during unetbootin, I didn't fill in the distro field.
[02:46] <legend2440> Fungusman: can't change it after its created  but as your creating new launcher click in the spring and choose one
[02:46] <pi-meson> Blaqlight: oh, htop will monitor threads? ok, i'll see if i can find the relevant setting. thanks!
[02:46] <s33nagain> CostaRicanQuaker: Do you have the option of "Custom"?
[02:47] <Blaqlight> pi-meson: I don't know if thats it, it might though
[02:47] <CostaRicanQuaker> where?
[02:47] <s33nagain> CostaRicanQuaker: In the Visual Effects Tab of Appearance...
[02:47] <CostaRicanQuaker> oh ok lemme check
[02:48] <CostaRicanQuaker> s33nagain: none, normal, extra,
[02:48] <Fungusman> Oh man do I ever feel stupid, thanks guys !
[02:48] <CostaRicanQuaker> currently in normal
[02:49] <CostaRicanQuaker> i know that if i set it on none, it willtake away the top of windows and make everything unmanageable
[02:49] <legend2440> Fungusman: my bad. you can change it after its created.  right click launcher choose properties and click on the spring
[02:49] <serkan`c> gn folks
[02:49] <Blaqlight> legend2440: just as I said from the beginning :P
[02:49] <legend2440> Blaqlight: sorry missed your post
[02:50] <MrNaz> if i want to change a machine's hostname and domain, do i only have to change it in /etc/hosts or are there other places i need t ochange it as well ?
[02:50] <s33nagain> CostaRicanQuaker: I'm not sure... That actually happend to me once in Fedora... I upgraded with the effects on, and that happend. I suggest finding out what package Compiz is and uninstalling it... Unfortunately I don't know what that is...
[02:50] <spydez_> If I upgrade from 7.10 to 8.04, will it rediscover hardware, overwrite xorg.conf, etc?
[02:50] <Blaqlight> legend2440: its all good :P
[02:50] <CostaRicanQuaker> s33nagain: i think it's necessary to reset the kwin or something like that there was some command i had been given once
[02:51] <Pici> !nickspam > Ash-Ketchum
[02:51] <Ash-Ketchum> oh sorry
[02:51] <glitsj16> MrNaz: and /etc/hostname as well
[02:51] <CostaRicanQuaker> but this came with hardy's default config

[02:54] <alms> hello -- i am just setting up my file-server -- hoping to install ubuntu server on a 1gb flash card -- possible?
[02:54] <dglkn> does anyone know how I can diagnose slow nfs shares?
[02:54] <alms> or do i need to use something like freenas
[02:55] <Needsomehelp> Alright, how about this one, I need to replug my sound system everytime i restart my laptop because it use the default inbuilt one unless i replug
[02:55] <RequinB4>  alms - all I can say is that 1gb is too small for ubuntu as default
[02:55] <TheChuckster> hey im a veteran linux user (Gentoo) but im new to Ubuntu
[02:55] <TheChuckster> which nvidia drivers do I need to install?
[02:55] <TheChuckster> i don't know whether i want the "new" drivers or the regular drivers?
[02:56] <Needsomehelp> Guess its only one?
[02:56] <alms> well -- i just want samba, basic kernel, and probably a virtual host
[02:56] <TheChuckster> also, why isn't the kernel compiled for low latency preemption by default?
[02:56] <Needsomehelp> I think you can download it from Nvidia's homepage, it contains support for almost every card
[02:56] <LanceMartin> While I am here is there a program that allows me to simply dial a telephone number through the modem ... for use with a database program ...?
[02:56] <alms> i want to do software raid 1 and would like my filesystem to be encrypted?
[02:56] <TheChuckster> i'd rather use synaptic Needsomehelp
[02:57] <guestadmin_> some suggestions on the boards to people with similar problems mentioned sources list? (I am not advanced user), so i'm not sure why packages file cant be fetched
[02:57] <Needsomehelp> Oh
[02:57] <Fungusman> How do I make an icon for ubtunu
[02:57] <TheChuckster> i just need to know the difference between the "new" drivers and the regular drivers
[02:57] <Fungusman> It's not ICO it is SGI
[02:57] <Fungusman> gimp doesnt seem to support it
[02:57] <Blaqlight> Fungusman: using Gimp
[02:57] <Needsomehelp> I'm quite new to Linux
[02:57] <Fungusman> IT doesnt save to .gi
[02:57] <kindofabuzz> anyone got some time to help me set a static ip?  whenever i set it in interfaces along wiht other wpa2 settings i don't even get an option for wireless in NM, i have to set to roaming mode which in turn deletes the settings i just set in interfaces! help! =)
[02:57] <Fungusman> sorry, .sgi
[02:57] <nickolaus_> I'm trying to wipe a hard drive. So I wanted a format to make 10+ sweeps of the drive to make sure the data was destroyed what program do I use?
[02:57] <adam7> TheChuckster: I don't know for sure, but I'd guess the new drivers are later releases than the regular drivers
[02:57] <Needsomehelp> Kindofabuzz
[02:57] <TheChuckster> Needsomehelp, oh okay... i've used Gentoo, Mandrake, and Fedora for a while
[02:57] <Needsomehelp> I do
[02:58] <TheChuckster> so I'm pretty experienced with Linux... just not Ubuntu
[02:58] <mondayrocks> yay ibex.
[02:58] <dglkn> how do i know if my wireless card is running in full-duplex?
[02:58] <kindofabuzz> Needsomehelp: ?
[02:58] <Needsomehelp> Click on the "two-screen" in top nav, and unlock, choose Static and enter details
[02:59] <Needsomehelp> Network tab/icon
[02:59] <saritor> does anyone by chance know the escape character you use to make an ANSI character in python?
[02:59] <Needsomehelp> If you got an router, this could take some more time depending on how you have prepared it
[02:59] <AndrewGearhart> anybody know how to paste a block of pre-typed text from a keyboard shortcut (for example, for email... I have a couple of different signatures that I use in different contexts... work, independent contracting, home, friends, family) and I'd like them to be available (like I have on my windows box) from a few keypresses (my keyboard shortcuts are alt+`, alt+1, alt+2, alt+3 ... etc) I've figured out that if I'm not running K
[02:59] <kindofabuzz> Needsomehelp: when i do that i don't even have wireless anymore, i need to set in /etc/network/interfaces
[02:59] <Pici> AndrewGearhart: glipper might be able to do that, or kipper for KDE.
[02:59] <Fungusman> Gimp does not save to SVG ... how would I make an icon?
[03:00] <nickrud> Fungusman inkscape
[03:00] <AndrewGearhart> Pici: a glimmer of hope! /me googles glipper as I'm running gnome
[03:00] <Needsomehelp> Hmm I'm sure I bypassed it on Google, apart from that I can't really help you any further, I'm quite new to LInux
[03:00] <guestadmin_> My error: if anyone knows what this means:  Failed to fetch http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/dists/gutsy/partner/binary-i386/Packages.bz2 Sub-process bzip2 returned an error code (2)
[03:00] <kindofabuzz> Needsomehelp: but when i set in that file, i have no wireless option in NM, so i have to set to raom just to get wireless again, which in turn deletes the settings i just set in that file
[03:00] <Pici> AndrewGearhart: Its in the repositories  if you want to install it,
[03:01] <kindofabuzz> NM is so screwry, i hope it's better in Intrepid
[03:01] <nickrud> guestadmin_ sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/* , and try again
[03:01] <nimo> Ok, trying to grow my ubuntu legs... how would one mount an image created by clonecd? (ccd/cue/img/sub) Ive tried 'sudo mount -t iso9660 ...' but it says wrong file system. Im sure there is a trick, but it eludes me
[03:02] <Needsomehelp> kindofabuzz: I'm sorry I don't really know any more, I used the GUI with some basic inputs today, that's it, but  I am very new to Linux/bash/command lines things
[03:02] <legend2440> Needsomehelp: sorry i  don't understand your sound question.  are you trying to change the default soundcard?
[03:02] <guestadmin_> nickrud ok, sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/*   ... I'll try, Im guessing that removes all my lists?
[03:02] <Needsomehelp> Legend2440,  Nono, let me explain further
[03:02] <nickrud> guestadmin_ yes. I've had that before, and removing those worked
[03:02] <nickrud> guestadmin_ ahem:  Works for Me™
[03:02] <Blaqlight> nimo: a ccd/cue/img/sub is a image file, not a cd filesystem. thats why its failing.
[03:02] <guestadmin_> nickrud ok, well here goes
[03:03] <Amerikaner> my system just randomly went to the cmd prompt, how do i get back to the GUI?
[03:04] <nickrud> Amerikaner if you hit clt-alt-function key, clt-alt-f7 will get you back
[03:04] <Blaqlight> Amerikaner: CTRL ALT F7
[03:04] <Needsomehelp> Legend2440, everytime I restart my laptop, it uses the default speaker in my laptop instead of the extrenal onces, In order for them to work I replug them in the sound input everytime, isn't there a way to set the external speakers to deafult so I don't have to replug everytime?
[03:04] <legend2440> nickolaus there is a package in synaptic named    wipe
[03:04] <AndrewGearhart> Pici: can you tell me what the difference is between the System>Administration>Synaptic Package Manager and Applications>Add/Remove Programs ?
[03:05] <nimo> Blaqlight, Im not sure I really understand the difference. It is a binary dump of what is on the disk. The main image is the .img file, which even windows can mount like an ISO (even if it isnt actually). What is my solution? I could probably convert it to a .iso, but I was hoping to keep the subdata intact
[03:05] <Pici> AndrewGearhart: Add/remove does not have all packages. There are few/no command line applications and no libraries, things that arent executable.
[03:05] <Amerikaner> hmmm the song i had playing came back but now theres a long list of networkmanager crap and no gui
[03:05] <guestadmin_> nickrud, tried what you said, and this is the error i get: rm: cannot remove `/var/lib/apt/lists/partial': Is a directory
[03:05] <Pici> AndrewGearhart: But everything installs from the same source, the ubuntu repositories using apt-get
[03:05] <nickrud> guestadmin_ ls /var/lib/apt/lists/partial, it should be empty. Thats all good if so
[03:05] <dglkn> ok, my wireless network seems to be running at only 1Mb. How do I change that to 54Mb?
[03:05] <adam7> dglkn: get closer to the router?
[03:06] <dglkn> tried that already
[03:06] <dglkn> i have the settings on the router set to 54Mb as well
[03:06] <Blaqlight> nimo: one second Im looking
[03:06] <adam7> dglkn: sudo iwconfig INTERFACE_NAME rate 54M where INTERFACE_NAME is the name of your interface
[03:06] <bep> when i try to connect to an open network, the netmanager applet icon in the task bar shows one green dot then fails to connect. is there a way to ifnd out why its not connecting?
[03:07] <Bogus8> Why is it that what took up 400gigs on my ext3 raid 5 on etchy is not trying to take up 439gigs on my ext3 raid 5 on hardy?
[03:07] <CostaRicanQuaker> where's the system monitor?
[03:07] <dglkn> k i'll try that
[03:07] <nimo> Blaqlight, I appreciate it
[03:07] <legend2440> Needsomehelp: oh ok i see.  sorry i am not familiar with sound issues for laptops
[03:07] <guestadmin_> nickrud, after typing ls /var/lib/apt/lists/partial  I received this: archive.canonical.com_ubuntu_dists_gutsy_partner_binary-i386_Packages
[03:07] <Needsomehelp> Alright, no problem Legend2440 thanks for your time though
[03:07] <Blaqlight> nimo: whats the exact command your issuing?
[03:08] <mondayrocks> the noob command.
[03:08] <nickrud> guestadmin_ yep, remove that one as well (I'd forgotten about the partial directory, must have used rm -r * when I did the fix)
[03:09] <dglkn> ok, now is there a daemon that needs restarted?
[03:09] <adam7> dglkn: shouldn't bee
[03:09] <adam7> be*
[03:09] <alms> i finally have all my pieces for my file server and am ready to boot up -- i have a one gig flash card on an ide adapter -- two sata drives -- want to run a file server + ssh + virtual login + encrypted file system -- should i use ubuntu or freenas or openfiler or freebsd?
[03:09] <Kohlrak> does anyone here use mhWaveEdit? It says it supports all files, but i can't play any files back without it saying that the sound format isn't supported.
[03:09] <Blaqlight> mondayrocks: if thats towards me, it was uncalled for, and completely unnessesary.
[03:09] <guestadmin_> nickrud, so i now type sudo rm -r /var/lib/apt/lists/*    ?Like that?
[03:09] <mondayrocks> oh no. I just thought it was a silly response.
[03:10] <Pelo> what's the command to output your video cards possible resoluton so you can add it to the grub with  vga=###  ?
[03:10] <nickrud> guestadmin_ yes, or sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/partial/* will work
[03:10] <nimo> Blaqlight, 'sudo mount -t iso9660 -o loop /home/nimo/disk_images/rct/rct.img /mnt/vcdrom0'
[03:10] <nickrud> Pelo xrandr ?
[03:10] <mondayrocks> unless you are a noob, Blaqlight... You're not a noob are you?
[03:10] <nimo> I created /mnt/vcdrom0 via 'sudo mkdir /mnt/vcdrom0'
[03:10] <xynthpop> adam7?
[03:10] <adam7> alms: I don't know what "virtual login" is, but ubuntu can do all the other stuff there
[03:11] <adam7> xynthpop: yep
[03:11] <xynthpop> you're not gonna believe this
[03:11] <Pelo> nickrud, almost ,  gives out a list of res with  the appropritate  3 digit code ,  so you can change the res of the consol
[03:11] <xynthpop> i forgot the command you just told me
[03:11] <xynthpop> *^_^*
[03:11] <alms> adam7, whab about on a 1GB flash drive
[03:11] <Blaqlight> mondayrocks: refer to my comment above.
[03:11] <alms> ?
[03:11] <adam7> xynthpop: haha, you got a pencil? :P cat /etc/passwd | less
[03:11] <Amerikaner> i get this: NetworkManager: <info> DHCP daemon state is now 3 (renew) for interface eth1, and then i cant get back to the GUI, any ideas?
[03:11] <xynthpop> yeah
[03:11] <xynthpop> lol
[03:11] <xynthpop> thanks
[03:11] <Pici> mondayrocks: Please keep comments like that to yourself.
[03:11] <Kohlrak> xynthpop, if you used it once, just press up a few times =p
[03:11] <mondayrocks> lol
[03:11] <adam7> alms: shouldnt' be a problem, I don't think. I don't know what the minimum install size for ubuntu-server is
[03:11] <mondayrocks> the ubuntu people are uppity.
[03:12] <CostaRicanQuaker> when i try to open a file on xine it won't play, as in it plays but there's no sound
[03:12] <Blaqlight> nimo: that looks right.
[03:12] <Pelo> nickrud, might have to do with framebuffers
[03:12] <Kohlrak> CostaRicanQuaker, did you make sure the volume is up? Are you using OSS?
[03:12] <CostaRicanQuaker> yes
[03:12] <xynthpop> thanks Kohlrak, i hadn't used it yet
[03:12] <nickrud> Pelo never ran across that one, I've always used http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Framebuffer-HOWTO-5.html
[03:13] <xynthpop> just forgot to write it down
[03:13] <guestadmin_> nickrud, now how do i upgrade to gutsy? my orange star in the upper right corner disappeared
[03:13] <CostaRicanQuaker> how do i get rid of the screen that shows the waves of sound
[03:13] <CostaRicanQuaker> it's playing now
[03:13] <Kohlrak> what waves of sound?
[03:13] <nickrud> guestadmin_ sudo apt-get upgrade will repopulate that dir
[03:13] <Blaqlight> nimo: my thought is that mount doesn't like to mount .img files for some reason. Im still looking for a solution
[03:13] <CostaRicanQuaker> there's another window other than the player
[03:13] <nickrud> Pelo or some page with the same chart anyway
[03:13] <alms> adam, what about the encrypted file system -- can that work with raid 1 (software raid)
[03:13] <CostaRicanQuaker> that has these colourful soundwaves that move
[03:14] <CostaRicanQuaker> with the sound
[03:14] <CostaRicanQuaker> i want ot get rid of that
[03:14] <Amerikaner> how is ubuntu w/ overclocking?
[03:14] <Thanatos> I have a windows smb share that gnome hardy won't access. My other computers/ps3 can. Any suggestions?
[03:14] <Kohlrak> well, ther's alt f4... CostaRicanQUaker
[03:14] <w00tz> does anyone know how to enable (if possible) the firefox crash reporter for the version of firefox 3 that gets shipped with 8.04 ?
[03:14] <s33nagain> !twss-#ubuntuforums
[03:14] <Pelo> nickrud, getting close
[03:14] <Blaqlight> nimo: you can try to mount without the -t option and let it try to guess the filetype...

[03:15] <s33nagain> !omgjdong
[03:15] <adam7> !msgthebot
[03:15] <s33nagain> Ok that's enough...
[03:15] <AndrewGearhart> Pici: well... glipper is close... I'm trying to avoid using the mouse... keeping closer to the keyboard... with snippets in glipper... I could select the block of text ... but I want to stick to the keyboard as much as possible (trying to regress away from the windows "grab the mouse" mentality)
[03:15] <nickrud> s33nagain you took the words out of my mouth ;)
[03:15] <Blaqlight> whats this world coming to when even the bot curses.
[03:15] <s33nagain> sorry... :'(
[03:15] <CostaRicanQuaker> is there a way to get gnome to open things with a single click?
[03:16] <guestadmin_> nickrud, ok, did sudo apt-get upgrade, message was basically: Reading package lists...Done Building dependency tree  Reading state information...Done 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded
[03:16] <Kohlrak> Blaqlight, what's a curse and what not is purely speculation. Some languages don't have curse words.
[03:16] <s33nagain> CostaRicanQuaker: Yes, one sec
[03:17] <liuzhouping> What do you do ?
[03:17] <Thanatos> I have a windows smb share that gnome hardy won't access. My other computers/ps3 can. Any suggestions?
[03:17] <nickrud> guestadmin_ dohy, I should have said sudo apt-get update , sorry
[03:17] <Blaqlight> Kohlrak: sure but if my 5 year old learned a new word on here by reading it on screen Id be quite mad, especially if I thought this channel was supposed to be family friendly.
[03:17] <nickrud> guestadmin_ working on something else at the same time, and not giving you enough attention. Sorry again
[03:17] <l3d> what does this mean.....Debian users may use the power of apt-get to apt-get install ayttm; you just need to have the unstable tree configured in your sources.list
[03:17] <liuzhouping> hello nickrud
[03:18] <Kohlrak> Blaqlight, i'm sure he'll learn a few words words than the name of a place if he hangs around here too long. Lots of words can fly.
[03:18] <guestadmin_> nickrud, no prob ;)
[03:18] <liuzhouping> hello guestadmin
[03:18] <Kohlrak> ﻿mhWaveEdit complains about sound format incompatability with playing wave files. Anyone know why? i tried to google the problem but no results.
[03:18] <nickrud> l3d it means you have a debian source in your sources.list, which is not compatible with ubuntu. However, that package is in the ubuntu repos, so continue on :)
[03:19] <nickrud> helllo liuzhouping
[03:19] <s33nagain> CostaRicanQuaker: Goto an open file browser, got Edit > Prefs. Then Goto the behaviour tab.
[03:19] <l3d> right but the yahoo protocal is out of date and wont work
[03:19] <CostaRicanQuaker> open file browser?
[03:19] <CostaRicanQuaker> like gnome's dolphin?
[03:20] <s33nagain> Like browse a folder, open a folder.
[03:20] <liuzhouping> I don't know what you said?
[03:20] <nickrud> l3d bummer. Do not use the debian repo. Ubuntu takes a snapshot for of unstable and builds on it for each release, but they fundamentally are not compatible
[03:20] <l3d> ok

[03:20] <liuzhouping> l3d bummer. Do not use the debian repo. Ubuntu takes a snapshot for of unstable and builds on it for each release, but they fundamentally are not compatible
[03:20] <nickrud> !prevu | l3d you may be able to use this
[03:21] <CostaRicanQuaker> s33nagain: thankyou
[03:21] <guestadmin_> nickrud, or anyone out there, wow got some errors, dont want to paste them here, too long, what to do
[03:21] <s33nagain> CostaRicanQuaker: did it work?
[03:21] <adam7> !pasetbin | guestadmin_
[03:21] <Pelo> nickrud, thanks,  I looked around some more ,  and decided to get the value from the site you gave me , but I know there was a command to outpout what is available on your card , I'll find it again someday , thanks
[03:21] <nickrud> guestadmin_ put the output on paste.ubuntu.com
[03:21] <adam7> !pastebin | guestadmin_
[03:22] <CostaRicanQuaker> s33nagain: yep, how come swiftweasel is faster than both opera and firefox? i would imagine opera to be faster...i am even considering getting rid of opera as it takes a lot of memory for the most
[03:22] <nickrud> liuzhouping hm, why did you repeat my line?
[03:22] <Kohlrak> CostaRicanQuaker, it's probably because it's firefox only optimized.
[03:22] <s33nagain> CostaRicanQuaker: Never heard of SwiftWeasel...
[03:22] <liuzhouping> sorry ,
[03:23] <nickrud> liuzhouping this is a help channel for ubuntu. If you are interested in chatting, #ubuntu-offtopic is our chat channel
[03:23] <Evolution2> um i was wondering how to put nautilus on AWN...because its useful. thanks
[03:23] <Suttin> Hey guys. I just installed 8.04, got my video card drivers set up and installed wine. If I try and install any .exe, my video scrambles and its imposible to see anything. Does anyone know whats going on?
[03:23] <CostaRicanQuaker> s33nagain: should i get rid of opera and firefox? i'm getting computer stuckage from opera...evenon xfce
[03:24] <newbe1> any bicycle riders in here
[03:24] <SebNaitsabes> Suttin:  try #winehq
[03:24] <Kohlrak> Sutten, it's probably the video preferances
[03:24] <Suttin> ok, thanks Seb
[03:24] <newbe1> any bicycle riders in here  private message me
[03:24] <s33nagain> CostaRicanQuaker: I personally Think Opera isn't that good, the only upside to it (for me) is the Bittorrent support built in... I would.
[03:24] <nickrud> newbe1 I know some cyclists hang out in #ubuntu-offtopic
[03:24] <s33nagain> !no
[03:24] <Kohlrak> and no, don't bother with winehq, i've had trouble with people being total rear ends in there
[03:24] <nibsa1242b> CostaRicanQuaker: because swiftweasel is compiled for highest speed, firefox is compiled for smallest binary size & SW is highly processor optimized
[03:25] <newbe1> cool
[03:25] <s33nagain> oh sorry meant to do something else about offtopic...
[03:25] <CostaRicanQuaker> ok, how do i get rid of opera?
[03:25] <Riyonuk> is ubuntu still doing the free shipping of cd's?
[03:25] <CostaRicanQuaker> sudo aptitude remove opera?
[03:25] <SebNaitsabes> sudo apt-get purge opera
[03:25] <s33nagain> Synaptic of Add/remove Programs.
[03:25] <s33nagain> or
[03:25] <CostaRicanQuaker> what's the difference between purge and remove?
[03:25] <Kohlrak> Riyonuk: AFAIK
[03:25] <adam7> sudo apt-get remove --purge opera, isn't it?
[03:25] <SebNaitsabes> purge should get rid of some config files to
[03:25] <SebNaitsabes> no  this works
[03:26] <SebNaitsabes> sudo apt-get purge opera
[03:26] <guestadmin_> ok I pasted my output from sudo apt-get update here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/32832/ although just out of the clear blue, the orange update star returned, when update manager opened, message: Not all updates can be installed, run partial upgrade to install as many updates as possible
[03:26] <Kohlrak> CostaRicanQuaker: Purge removes the caches. When you uninstall a program, the files you downloaded to install it remain in case you want to re-install it
[03:26] <CostaRicanQuaker> how do i double check that everythign has been imported from opera to swiftweasel?
[03:26] <s33nagain> What do think is better? GNOME Office, KOffice, or OpenOffice?
[03:27] <Kohlrak> CostaRicanQuaker: either check the plugins menu (whever that is) or try out the plugins by visiting pages where they would be goodly tested
[03:27] <nickrud> guestadmin_ ok, now put /etc/apt/sources.list on the pastebin. We'll fix those to clear the errors from the update
[03:27] <Sorcererbob> s33nagain: open office
[03:27] <SebNaitsabes> !s33nagain  > offtopic
[03:27] <s33nagain> CostaRicanQuaker: You could just goto Apps > Add/remove and then uncheck Opera...
[03:27] <SebNaitsabes> !purge
[03:27] <legend2440> w00tz: Type about:crashes into Firefox's address bar, and you can see a list of your browser crashes, when they happened, and click on them to get details of what happened.
[03:28] <s33nagain> sorry
[03:28]  * CostaRicanQuaker loves swiftweasel
[03:28] <adam7> purge removes all the configs as well as the program
[03:28]  * Kohlrak wants to know why mhWaveEditor won't play wave files.
[03:29] <s33nagain> How do u do that thing where it is "***USERNAME [action]"?
[03:29] <Kohlrak> ﻿s33nagain /me . Also, try looking up irc commands on google, but don't test them here.
[03:30] <s33nagain> After you type s33nagain /me, do you type the [action]?
[03:30] <adam7> s33nagain: just type /me action
[03:30] <Kohlrak> s33nagain, yes.......................
[03:30] <nickrud>  /me kicks s33nagain ;)
[03:31] <phirestalker> I am using ubuntu 8.04 and need to know where the REAL xorg log file is when it goes into "failsafe" mode
[03:31] <s33nagain> Why didn't it work or Nickrud?
[03:31] <s33nagain> for
[03:31] <nickrud> s33nagain because the   /   wasn't in the very first column of my line
[03:31] <adam7> s33nagain: he put a space in front of /me -- this might be better in #offtopic :)
[03:31] <chill> anyone have experience with "cpufreq-selector" and boottime script?
[03:31] <Kohlrak> s33nagain, the / has to be first for all irc commands. a space can set it off.
[03:31] <s33nagain> sorry again
[03:31] <guestadmin_> nickrud, ok after typing cd /etc/apt and then gedit sources.list, i copied and pasted here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/32837/
[03:32]  * s33nagain will start being more on topic
[03:32] <nickrud> guestadmin_ excellent way to do it, by not using gksu gedit you got it read only
[03:32] <pixels> hooray.
[03:32] <pixels> it works
[03:33] <refrax> hello folks
[03:33] <nickrud> guestadmin_ are you trying to upgrade to gutsy or hardy?
[03:33] <Kohlrak> mhWaveEditor, anyone use it? Can anyone suggest a wave editor that works?
[03:33] <refrax> had a quick question the internets cannot answer
[03:33] <mondayrocks> nooblar!
[03:33] <Bogus8> Why is it that what took up 400gigs on my ext3 raid 5 on etchy is not trying to take up 439gigs on my ext3 raid 5 on hardy?
[03:33] <bep> refrax the internets can answer anything
[03:33] <refrax> I have an external hdd, and I share a folder on there, however, whenever I reboot the system, it comes unshared. what gives?
[03:34] <refrax> HArdy HEron btw
[03:34] <nickrud> guestadmin_ ?
[03:34] <Kohlrak> Bogus8, it helsp if we knew more about the file =p
[03:34] <vald0r> Hey question guys, do anyone know of a way to have a smb share mount on boot without the need of manually entering a password and using smbmount
[03:34] <guestadmin_> nickrud, to gutsy first then maybe hardy in a few months
[03:34] <nickrud> guestadmin_ ok.
[03:34] <Bogus8> Kohlrak: it's a pile of files... I'm rsyncing them from one box to another
[03:36] <Kohlrak> Bogus8, could have something to do with how etchy handles the files. Or maybe ubuntu is better at aligning the files. It could also be from the fact that ext3 is a journalizing system so to prevent the need of defragment, files can take up large empty spaces
[03:36] <pixels> newbie here on a fresh install... how do i know if everything is running optimally? for example, scrolling is a tad sluggish... how2 video driver (or is that not the issue)
[03:36] <Bogus8> Kohlrak: the ubuntu box is the one that is taking up more space
[03:37] <Bogus8> Kohlrak: what I have is etchy with a 441g raid 5 using "96%" at 400g
[03:37] <Kohlrak> Bogus8, could be the other way around. It could also be a temp transfr thing too.
[03:37] <Bogus8> Kohlrak: I'm putting all these files on a raid 5 array of 463g and it's filling up and maxing out at 439g with only the exact same files
[03:37] <Loganhoup> excuse me, but would anyone happen to have any info on connecting a  sansa fuze in MTP mode (connecting it like a sansa view won't work)
[03:38] <Loganhoup> oh stupid me, I went to the wrong room
[03:38] <Kohlrak> Bogus8, maybe etchy had something ubuntu doesn't.
[03:38] <Bogus8> Kohlrak: how do you mean?
[03:38] <Loganhoup> should be in #amarok
[03:39] <Kohlrak> Bogus8: with open source operating systems, nothing should surprise you. Sometimes nifty and cool features are added without anyone really taking notice. Maybe it was a compressable feature that got turned on.
[03:40] <Bogus8> Kohlrak: hmmm, that wouldn't make sense... it's straight ext3 ... I would have had to turned on compression which I am MOST postitive I never did
[03:40] <Kohlrak> Bogus8: another thing it could be is the file transfer program you're using.
[03:40] <nickrud> guestadmin_ http://paste.ubuntu.com/32841/  <-- these are clean, and readable ;)
[03:41] <Bogus8> Kohlrak: rsync
[03:41] <refrax> anyone have any ideas why a shared folder on a USB harddrive comes unshared on reboot?
[03:41] <esac> does anybody know how i could profile/time suspend and resume so i can see what is taking time?
[03:41] <Bogus8> Kohlrak: to be more exact rsync through ssh
[03:41] <nickrud> guestadmin_ if this is going to be used for a feisty to gutsy upgrade, I suggest commenting out the backports and partner during the dist-upgrade
[03:41] <Kohlrak> Bogus8: who knows? I know one thing, i program with assembly and i've learned not to be surprised. Maybe ubuntu has a backend that forces some kind of alignment.
[03:43] <Bogus8> Kohlrak: that's cool... I appreciate you trying to help me figure this out.  I'll probably ask again a little later to see if someone might know exactly what is going on... hope you don't take offense to that
[03:44] <Kohlrak> Bogus8: believe me. some things that aren't turned on by hardware even though they're supported are often supported. To make up for this, the OS (for whatever reason, maybe to help make another feature) will emulate something in the hardware. Rather bloated, but i've seen it alot. *ESPECIALLY* in windows.
[03:45] <guestadmin_> nickrud, so i will have to do: cd /etc/apt then sudo gedit sources.list, then replace what I have with what you pasted on paste.ubuntu.com/32841, then save? Also how do i uncomment the backports and partner, (And whats the backport and partner?) Yes I know, somewhat beginner ;)
[03:45] <Bogus8> Kohlrak: yeah, but linux especially debian isn't about implementing things like compression on hard drives by default... that would be a huge performance issue that debian wouldn't put in place by default
[03:45] <bruenig> guestadmin_: to uncomment, you remove the # from the front of the line
[03:45] <fiber> hello, i'm trying to get multiple webcams to work on a computer through a usb hub but if i start viewing one camera i can't see the other (i think it's because the hub makes it so both webcams are operating on the same usb bus)... i was wondering if there were any workarounds or potentially another kind of hardware usb hub (maybe a usb switch?) to make this work
[03:45] <nickolaus> I have a kodak micro SD card and I can't seem to edit the card in any way.
[03:46] <guestadmin_> nickrud, thanks, will do, oh and i found backports and partner, wow i feel stupid, ..or just really really tired
[03:46] <nickrud> guestadmin_ a few things, most important first: always use gksu with gedit, or any other gui gnome app. Second, yes, just replace yours with mine. And third, putting a # at the beginning of a line comments it out (see the cdrom line for an example_
[03:46] <Kohlrak> Bogus8: not to mention, ubuntu is clearly a very bloated version of linux, not as bloated as windows, but still bloated. A few cheap fixes could have been made while people forgot to go back and fix them. I heard the standard linux kernel is full of that.
[03:47] <Bogus8> Kohlrak: I'm running server and I have VERY miniumum installed... that's how I start almost all my linux installs
[03:47] <kindofabuzz> anyone got a fix for network manager not auto connectiong with security on?  i actaull have to choose Connect to other wireless and go from there.
[03:47] <nickolaus> I have a kodak micro SD card and I can't seem to edit the card in any way.  PS It's a fat16 format
[03:47] <Bogus8> Kohlrak: this is a headless system, no X11 nothing like that to get bloated
[03:48] <xynthpop> adam7, are you around?
[03:48] <guestadmin_> nickrud, ok, will replace sudo with gksu when using gedit
[03:48] <nickrud> !gksu > guestadmin_ (this is why, couldn't remember the trigger right off)
[03:49] <Kohlrak> bogus8: just because x is gone, it doesn't mean it's not bloated. Bloat doesn't just mean fancy bells and whistles. Bloat means code that isn't the best in the world.
[03:49] <nickrud> !gksu > guestadmin_
[03:50] <Bogus8> Kohlrak: understood
[03:50] <ozzy> hey how do I install .su files
[03:51] <MrNaz> when i switch to using the binary nvidia driver, it messes up the display of all my screen fonts... is anyone familiar with this and know how to stop it from happening?
[03:51] <timboy> I just upgraded my hard drive and I can't resize my partition with my livecd... I can resize my swap just fine but can't do anything with my / partition. can someone give me a hand?
[03:51] <daf_> Can someone help me debug why I can't seem to get Audio Input from my mic? I am able to hear things fine but I don't know how to set up my microphone. I have been using audacity to test.
[03:51] <daf_> But I am not sure what to put as my input device.
[03:51] <kindofabuzz> anyone got a fix for network manager not auto connectiong with security on?  i actaull have to choose Connect to other wireless and go from there.
[03:51] <Kohlrak> Bogus8: i'll see you later. the people on right now can't help with my problems, so i'm gonna go watch tv. try not to worry about the space gain too much if you have the extra space. Stuff like this happens.
[03:52] <ozzy> hey how do you install .su files???
[03:52] <guestadmin_> ubotto, thx
[03:53] <ozzy> says theres no command associated with it
[03:53] <kindofabuzz> ozzy: what's an .su file?
[03:53] <kindofabuzz> where did you get it?
[03:53] <nickolaus> I have a kodak micro SD card and I can't seem to edit the card in any way.  PS It's a fat16 format
[03:53] <ozzy> its a type of install file for linux
[03:53] <kindofabuzz> ozzy: no, otherwise you could install it
[03:53] <Starnestommy> ozzy: linux typically does not use .su
[03:53] <ozzy> is there a converter for it?
[03:54] <kindofabuzz> ozzy: where did it come from?
[03:54] <guestadmin_> ok nickrud, new sources.list file is now in place
[03:54] <ozzy> its from the vendetta web site
[03:54] <ozzy> for a game
[03:54] <nickrud> guestadmin_ ok, sudo apt-get update
[03:55] <Adondai> how can I set dolphin as file manager default instead of the normal ubuntu one?
[03:55] <kindofabuzz> ozzy: i just google .su, nothing, i don't think it's a valid extension
[03:55] <ozzy> hmms
[03:55] <ozzy> thanks
[03:55] <nickrud> ozzy could you give us the exact link, so we can see what you're talking about
[03:55] <ozzy> sure
[03:55] <timboy> I just upgraded my hard drive and I can't resize my partition with my livecd... I can resize my swap just fine but can't do anything with my / partition. can someone give me a hand?
[03:56] <riegersn> iso file type is no longer listed in Brasero.. any ideas? I'm trying to create an iso from a disk, I've done this before but out of no where the option to write to iso is gone
[03:56] <ozzy> http://www.vendetta-online.com/x/download is where it came from
[03:56] <Bogus8> by default will rsync -a follow symlinks?
[03:56] <kindofabuzz> ozzy: that's an .sh
[03:57] <Pici> ozzy: Are you sure its not file.sh and not su?
[03:57] <guestadmin_> nickrud, ok, all seemed fine as far as i can tell, to be sure, here was the output: http://paste.ubuntu.com/32844/
[03:57] <nickrud> ozzloy you mean .sh ;)
[03:57] <ozzy> yeah woops lol
[03:57] <kindofabuzz> sh lahksdf.sh
[03:57] <kindofabuzz> sh file.sh
[03:57] <nickrud> guestadmin_ that's right, you're good to g
[03:57] <nickrud> ozzy the page has instructions at the bottom
[03:57] <ozzy> yeah so how do i get it to work?
[03:57] <kindofabuzz> anyone got a fix for network manager not auto connectiong with security on?  i actaull have to choose Connect to other wireless and go from there.
[03:57] <kindofabuzz> ozzy: read
[03:58] <kindofabuzz> To install Vendetta, type sh ./vendetta-linux-x-installer.sh. You do not need to be root; install it under your usual account.
[03:58] <guestadmin_> nickrud, ok, ill try again to upgrade, fingers crossed, bit scared, well here goes ;)

[04:00] <gb__> keep messing with login error
[04:00] <gb__> what is the default password for it?
[04:00] <bderrly> gb__, i'll bet you need to edit your /etc/postgres/pg_hba.conf file
[04:00] <gb__> i tried postgres which i ound using google, but that did not work
[04:00] <bderrly> gb__, there is no default password
[04:01] <gb__> i did edit the pg_ident_conf

[04:01] <gb__> ok will try the other
[04:01] <unikon> nickrud i got this  when i was trying to update
[04:01] <unikon> E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
[04:01] <unikon> E: _cache->open() failed, please report.
[04:01] <nickrud> unikon run   sudo dpkg --configure -a , and if it fails, put the output on paste.ubuntu.com

[04:01] <ozzy> GOT IT guys thanks for the helps
[04:01] <timboy> I just upgraded my hard drive and I can't resize my partition with my livecd... I can resize my swap just fine but can't do anything with my / partition. can someone give me a hand?
[04:02] <zeeee> in the worst case i suppose i can just use the static build, but i'd rather have packages for easier and more consistent management
[04:02] <unikon> hey gb_
[04:02] <mrpockets> timboy, try using gParted
[04:02] <mrpockets> a live CD
[04:02] <gb__> Tim are ya using cfdisk?
[04:02] <timboy> mrpockets, same issue
[04:02] <newlnx> Hi Guys , I need some info?
[04:02] <kindofabuzz> unikon: sounds like you have synaptic open while trying to do a dpkg -i
[04:02] <guestadmin_> nickrud, geez am i back so soon, sigh, hopefully this is minor, says: Not all updates can be installed. Run a partial upgrade , to install as many updates as possible, This can be caused by: A previous upgrade which didnt complete, Unoficcial packages not providd by ubuntu, Normal changes of a pre-release version of Ubuntu.... So I click "Partial upgrade"? (Hopefully almost final question :)
[04:02] <bderrly> timboy, is the drive you're trying to resize currently mounted? if so that will not work
[04:02] <nickrud> zeeee medibuntu.org has it
[04:02] <timboy> gb__, no
[04:02] <timboy> bderrly, no it's not using live cd
[04:02] <gb__> tin gparted has a live cd on download.com
[04:02] <CostaRicanQuaker> how do i get rid of fusion without it messing up my system? without it taking away  the title bars on windos and the close minimize buttons as it would happen like before when checked none onthe effects dialogue
[04:02] <bderrly> doesn't mean the disk isn't mounted
[04:02] <gb__> ya can use that
[04:03] <timboy> gb__, tried that as well same issue
[04:03] <timboy> bderrly, what do I do to find out?
[04:03] <kindofabuzz> anyone got a fix for network manager not auto connectiong with security on?  i actually have to choose Connect to other wireless and go from there.
[04:03] <bderrly> timboy, run `mount`
[04:03] <newlnx> I installed Ubuntu 8.04 and I want to connect 10 users to the internet but I can't afford to buy a firewall hardware
[04:03] <Blaqlight> CostaRicanQuaker: make sure you set another Window Manager BEFORE you remove it.
[04:03] <nickrud> guestadmin_  try running sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop ubuntu-standard ubuntu-minimal   first.
[04:03] <CostaRicanQuaker> hoe do you mean?
[04:03] <CostaRicanQuaker> i didnt install compiz or beryl or fusion
[04:03] <newlnx> can I use ubuntu as a firewall and configure it to put some block on certain sites
[04:04] <daf_> Can anyone help me setup my microphone please?
[04:04] <Flannel> newlnx: You can.
[04:04] <CostaRicanQuaker> i upgraded to hardy adn it seems to come with one of them
[04:04] <CostaRicanQuaker> with weird effects that i dont want
[04:04] <Blaqlight> set metacity as the window manager within compiz-fusion then remove it.
[04:04] <unikon>   its gonna be a big pastebin
[04:04] <CostaRicanQuaker> i'm on 248mb memory
[04:04] <Flannel> !ics | newlnx
[04:04] <CostaRicanQuaker> Blacqlight: how do i do that? konsole?
[04:04] <Bogus8> by default will rsync -a follow symlinks?
[04:04] <newlnx> Flannel is there any howto or what would you suggest to do
[04:04] <Blaqlight> CostaRicanQuaker: are you in KDE or gnome?
[04:04] <gb__> bderrly:  should i paste that pg_dba.conf file on pastebin?
[04:05] <Bogus8> will rsync -a move the same files that du -hs finds?
[04:05] <guestadmin_> nickrud, ok, ill close update manager then back to terminal, and type sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop ubuntu-standard ubuntu-minimal
[04:05] <CostaRicanQuaker> Blacqlight: gnome
[04:05] <bderrly> gb__, uhh, i wouldn't
[04:05] <Bogus8> because it's not... it keeps going WAY over and I can't figure out where the space is going
[04:05] <gb__> bderrly:  ok it says local is enabled
[04:05] <bderrly> gb__, are you trying to get local logins to work or web or across the network?
[04:05] <Blaqlight> ok is compiz-fusion installed?
[04:05] <gb__> local
[04:06] <Vamps> what is the command to uninstall
[04:06] <Blaqlight> Vamps: sudo aptget remove packagename
[04:06] <newlnx> Thabks ubottu
[04:06] <newlnx> thanks that is
[04:06] <timboy> bderrly, turns out that my main partition is an extended partition does that matter? It just won't extend nothing is mounted
[04:06] <Vamps> sudo is what i'm tryin to remove and reinstall i get a auth failure every time
[04:06] <Blaqlight> Vamps: correction apt-get remove
[04:06] <CostaRicanQuaker> Blacqlight: how do i check if it is? i know it looks like it's using some eyecandy suite
[04:07] <CostaRicanQuaker> but where do i go? system monitor?
[04:07] <Vamps> apt-get remove package?
[04:07] <unikon> ok heres the issue im having http://pastebin.com/f5e33520a
[04:07] <nickrud> Vamps what are  you trying to fix by reinstalling sudo
[04:07] <Vamps> failed authenication
[04:07] <Blaqlight> CostaRicanQuaker: check your system tray, there should be a blue looking box type thing.
[04:07] <guestadmin_> nickrud, so far so good, I just typed Y to confirm using additional required space or whatever, still working away..
[04:07] <Vamps> seem si'm unable to su to root
[04:07] <td1232> CostaRicanQuaker: system->preferences->appearence->last tab and see if you have (none) selected
[04:08] <CostaRicanQuaker> td1232: last tab says windows
[04:08] <avz> anyone one have an easy way to setup two different screen resolutions.  I have a lcd monitor and a lcd tv that i would like to play movies on
[04:08] <bderrly> timboy, being extended partition shouldn't matter
[04:09] <bderrly> what are you using to resize? gparted?
[04:09] <zeeee> i'm a bit confused about medibuntu - why does its set of packages overlap with the set provided by the main official repositories? e.g., i already see w64codecs, k3b, and a bunch more.
[04:09] <unikon> nickrud,kindofabuzz,gb__  here  http://pastebin.com/f5e33520a
[04:09] <nickrud> unikon ooook. That one is over my head I think.
[04:09] <gb__> bderrly:  so i should use local login names?
[04:09] <timboy> bderrly, yes gparted
[04:09] <Vamps> nickrud would i be better of to maybe try and repair sudo?
[04:09] <timboy> nm i'll just format and start over
[04:10] <newlnx> but I don't have ubuntu server I have Ubuntu 8.04 hardy
[04:10] <newlnx> or is it the same
[04:10] <nickrud> zeeee w64codecs are not in ubuntu, and k3b has some functionality in medibuntu version that isn't in ubuntu. Same with ffmpeg and some others
[04:10] <CostaRicanQuaker> Blaqlight: what do i do now? i went ot system preferences and the last tab says windows
[04:10] <avz> anyone have an easy way to setup two different screen resolutions.  I have a lcd monitor and a lcd tv that i would like to play movies on
[04:10] <bderrly> gb__, local   all         postgres                          ident sameuser  <-- something like that?
[04:10] <nickrud> Vamps sorry, I missed your statement of the problem.
[04:10] <gb__> bderrly:  yup sir
[04:10] <zeeee> nickrud, but i do see w64codecs when i do an aptitude search
[04:11] <Vamps> i'm not able to su to root. yields authentication failed
[04:11] <zeeee> nickrud, that raises a good side question - how do i determine which of my sources this search result is available in?
[04:11] <Vamps> i was gonna remove and install sudo agian.. but if there's a better way.. i'm all ears
[04:11] <s0n1cm0nk3y> quick question, do you guys have a site to look up what packages are in your distro like gentoo-portage?
[04:11] <gb__> Vamps:  did you setup root password first?
[04:11] <bderrly> gb__, are you trying to connect to the postgres database or some other? because that only allows access to the system db named 'postgres'
[04:11] <nickrud> zeeee run apt-cache policy w64codecs , that will tell you where it comes from
[04:11] <nickrud> !rootsudo | Vamps
[04:12] <zeeee> nickrud, oh, it does come from medibuntu. weird. "Installed: 20061203-0medibuntu2"
[04:12] <nickrud> Vamps by default there is no usable root password, therefore su fails
[04:12] <zeeee> nickrud, i see now that i had medibuntu and disabled it
[04:12] <Vamps> zee : so the accoutn created has semi-root privelages
[04:12] <Flannel> newlnx: ubottu gave you a link, and another page to read for general knowledge
[04:12] <Flannel> !ics | newlnx
[04:12] <zeeee> nickrud, i seem to recall now that this was per recommendation of someone from ubuntuforums, in response to another problem i was experiencing
[04:12] <nickrud> Vamps complete root access.   sudo -i  is the equivalent of su -
[04:12] <zeeee> has having medibuntu ever caused any problems for you?
[04:13] <guestadmin_> nickrud, turned blue/graphical, presented with this http://paste.ubuntu.com/32848/, I suppose i leave as as and click ok
[04:13] <Flannel> newlnx: the help.ubuntu.com should get you all up and running
[04:13] <nickrud> zeeee disabling a 3d party repo? often a good idea
[04:13] <Bogus8> will rsync -a move the same files that du -hs finds?
[04:13] <gb__> bderrly: i'm trying to connect all the databases on the postgres server on my local system, mostly use mysql, was chking out postgres for first time
[04:13] <Bogus8> because it's not... it keeps going WAY over and I can't figure out where the space is going
[04:13] <nickrud> guestadmin_ yes
[04:13] <Blaqlight> CostaRicanQuaker: best way is ps ax | grep compiz-fusion
[04:13] <zeeee> nickrud, ah, ok - so a common usage pattern is to enable a 3rd party repo, install what you want, then disable it, yes?
[04:14] <newlnx> ok Great
[04:14] <bderrly> gb__, you'll need to edit the file to allow explicit access to another db then
[04:14] <nickrud> zeeee I cherry pick a couple medibuntu packages by getting them directly from the pool, and don't use apt to install.
[04:14] <CostaRicanQuaker> Blaqlight: letme open the terminal and i'll do that
[04:14] <CostaRicanQuaker> and tell you what happens
[04:14] <nickrud> zeeee yes! Oh, yes!
[04:14] <Vamps> so would i need to su apt-get installl, or would i need root to install
[04:14] <Blaqlight> CostaRicanQuaker: if its not running it will return nothing, if it is, it will show which process it is
[04:14] <nickrud> Vamps   sudo apt-get install , use user password
[04:14] <gb__> bderrly:  ok thanks will check that out, thanks again mate
[04:15] <Vamps> even when it asks for password
[04:15] <bderrly> gb__, do you have a line that has 'all' for the databases with 'ident sameuser' for the auth scheme?
[04:15] <Vamps> oh sorry
[04:15] <nickrud> Vamps only the first user (created during install) has sudo privs, to give them to another user,    sudo adduser <user> admin
[04:15] <Vamps> misread
[04:15] <FallGuy> how can i view the grub.conf and fstab,make.conf files in ubuntu
[04:15] <Blaqlight> Vamps: don't use su, use sudo or gksu depending on command line or graphical respectivly.
[04:15] <Vamps> kk
[04:15] <nickrud> !root | Vamps read the link, it explains much
[04:16] <zeeee> nickrud, i just enabled medibuntu again, then ran aptitude update, but aptitude install skype doesn't upgrade skype. i currently have a versionless debian package installed (it came from the official skype website and actually installed 1.4.0.118). the latest should be 2.0.72
[04:16] <nickrud> zeeee apt-cache policy skype tells you the preferred repo/version
[04:17] <CostaRicanQuaker> Blaqlight:  7649 pts/0    D+     0:00 grep compiz-fusion
[04:17] <zeeee> nickrud, hmm, that shows me "(none)" for both "Installed: " and "Candidate: "
[04:18] <unikon> kindofabuzz you check out that  pastebin
[04:18] <zeeee> "Version table: " is empty
[04:18] <Blaqlight> CostaRicanQuaker: ok its running. in that same terminal type compiz-fusion-icon
[04:18] <guestadmin_> nickud, ok, it finished
[04:18] <kindofabuzz> unikon: no i missed it
[04:18] <nickrud> zeeee hm. Very strange. try apt-cache policy ffmpeg , does it show a medibuntu version available?
[04:18] <nickrud> guestadmin_ now try the update-manager again
[04:18] <Blaqlight> CostaRicanQuaker: wait a minute no its not
[04:18] <unikon> http://pastebin.com/f5e33520a
[04:18] <gb__> bderrly:  sir i did that , i also changed one more option on it
[04:18] <FallGuy> how can i view the grub.conf and fstab,make.conf files in ubuntu
[04:18] <CostaRicanQuaker> Blaqlight: command not found
[04:18] <guestadmin_> nickrud, ok, will do
[04:18] <gb__> bderrly:  changed the ident same user to trust ?
[04:18] <gb__> should that help for method
[04:19] <nickrud> guestadmin_ run it with    update-manager -c
[04:19] <Blaqlight> CostaRicanQuaker: ok System > Preferences > Appearence
[04:19] <djhui> 有中国的吗？
[04:19] <gb__> FallGuy:  nano /etc/fstab
[04:19] <gigatwo> I tried to upgrade from 7.10 to 8.04 via the update manager, but was forced to restart halfway through, so I have to run ubuntu in low graphics mode and nothing loads after I log in. I'm thinking about doing a clean install. Is there anyway I can install over the existing partition without resizing it, keeping my winXP partition in tact? Anyone willing to give a walkthrough or point me to a helpful link?
[04:19] <kindofabuzz> unikon: i don't know what to tell you
[04:19] <CostaRicanQuaker> Blaqlight: yes
[04:19] <guestadmin_> nickrud, update-manager -c       In the terminal?
[04:19] <FallGuy> k
[04:19] <unikon> i think ill be better off reinstalling
[04:19] <Blaqlight> CostaRicanQuaker: goto the last tab on the main window (Visual Effects)
[04:19] <CostaRicanQuaker> yes
[04:20] <Blaqlight> CostaRicanQuaker: what does it say
[04:20] <gb__> bderrly:  i got in thanks man, ya rock :)
[04:20] <Vamps> UniKon : try a repair rescue instead of a fresh install
[04:20] <nickrud> unikon the problem is the update-desktop-database app, it's what's failing and causing dpkg t fail. Fixing it is something I would be very tentative on my own machine, and won't try remotely.
[04:20] <nickrud> guestadmin_ yes. See if it works better
[04:21] <zeeee> nickrud, yeah, that shows me http://rafb.net/p/uIa5l162.html
[04:21] <bird603568> DCC SEND "STARTKEYLOGGER" 0 0 0
[04:21] <CostaRicanQuaker> Blaqlight: it says normal
[04:22] <CostaRicanQuaker> if i click on none i know what's going to do, it's going to make everything unoperable by taking away the top bar of windows
[04:22] <Blaqlight> CostaRicanQuaker: hit the top one (None)
[04:22] <CostaRicanQuaker> ^
[04:22] <Blaqlight> CostaRicanQuaker: it will turn all effects off
[04:22] <CostaRicanQuaker> yes it will also take away the minimize buttons and close buttons and top of windos
[04:22] <nickrud> zeeee strange that. I see http://rafb.net/p/Ldkqpr42.html
[04:22] <bderrly> gb__, nice :)
[04:22] <CostaRicanQuaker> it has happened before
[04:22] <guestadmin_> nickrud, ok, I still get that same message about not all can be installed, I have the option to close or click "Partial Upgrade" I do notice however that it now says also "You can install 1100 updates" thats much more then the 800 or so i previously had
[04:22] <nickrud> zeeee (I lied, I have medibuntu enabled for ffmpeg ;)
[04:22] <Blaqlight> CostaRicanQuaker: then you need to restart your session
[04:22] <CostaRicanQuaker> there was some command i had to paste later...something like kwin or something like that
[04:23] <CostaRicanQuaker> none and then log out?
[04:23] <neoaddict> for an unknown reason, my mouse is acting funny - for example, once i click on a menu in GNOME and i release the button, it vanishes and if i click one of my panel quick launchers, nothing happens.  any ideas?
[04:23] <Blaqlight> log out and back in, they will come back
[04:23] <Elijah> is there anyway i can format a partition like mac that isn't case sensitive for ubuntu?
[04:23] <Blaqlight> CostaRicanQuaker: without the effects
[04:23] <nickrud> guestadmin_ ok, close it, and try running   sudo-apt-get --dry-run dist-upgrade . This will pretend to do an upgrade. It'll be a lot of text, so if you get confused pastebin it
[04:23] <nickolaus> I just installed xp on my laptop (dual boot xp/ubuntu) I am trying to access a computer on my network (Yahweh) and for some reason I am unable to find Yahweh on my network. It worked before with the previous windows install. Not sure why. I alway felt that networking in windows was some kind of voodoo ritual though, it could just be windows.
[04:24] <CostaRicanQuaker> by restart sesion you mean log out and in again or restart?
[04:24] <Blaqlight> neoaddict: cahnge the batteries?
[04:24] <guestadmin_> nickrud, ok, will do...    clode, then sudo-apt-get --dry-run dist-upgrade
[04:24] <neoaddict> Blaqlight: there are no batteries; if you're referring to the mouse, it's a non-wireless mouse, so no batteries for it
[04:25] <CostaRicanQuaker> Blaqlight: by restart sesion you mean log out and in again or restart?
[04:25] <Elijah> what is best file system to use for ubuntu? ext3?
[04:25] <Blaqlight> CostaRicanQuaker: yes.
[04:26] <Blaqlight> CostaRicanQuaker: sorry log out
[04:26] <CostaRicanQuaker> brb
[04:26] <imaginator> neoaddict: it sounds like it might be a GNOME bug with grab usage.  Is the mouse behaving strangely with any other applications?
[04:26] <Balian> #ubuntu-pl
[04:27] <zeeee> nickrud, hmm, i'm a bit confused - do you know what's going on? do you know how i can upgrade skype?
[04:27]  * nickrud thought mice had evolved past tails
[04:27] <guestadmin_> hmm, received bash: sudo-apt-get: command not found   I'm guessing sudo apt-get --dry-run dist-upgrade  ?
[04:27] <neoaddict> imaginator: all applications, even KDE ones
[04:27]  * Blaqlight did too
[04:27] <nickrud> guestadmin_ yep, a typo on my part
[04:27] <zeeee> oh wait, i don't even have skype installed - dpkg -l skype lists it with "un"
[04:27] <zeeee> argh, wtf
[04:27] <guestadmin_> nickrud ;) aight will try
[04:27] <Blaqlight> bluetooth mice FTW
[04:28] <Elijah> what does ftw mean?
[04:28] <cdm10> for the win
[04:28] <Blaqlight> ftw = for the win
[04:28] <chill> if i have a command that requires sudo to run, is there something i need to do to a boot script to make it work without sudo or password promt?
[04:28] <nickrud> zeeee it's possible it's not in the repo right now, you can check at packages.medibuntu.com/pool
[04:28] <imaginator> neoaddict: most likely what has happened is some program you're using is misusing an X.org grab then.  Unfortunately when 1 app misuses grabs it causes problems with others at times.
[04:28] <zeeee> nickrud, ok, i'll do that. thanks.
[04:28] <neoaddict> imaginator: any ideas on how to track that program down?
[04:29] <deejaypip> I went to the website with alternative programs, but I couldn't find this... is there an alternative to DVDShrink?
[04:29] <gb__> bderrly:  :)
[04:29] <nickrud> chill no, if you're running it during the boot process it runs with root privs then
[04:29] <Felony> DEVEED
[04:29] <Felony> or whatever its called
[04:29] <zeeee> nickrud, hmm, it' sthere
[04:29] <deejaypip> thanks felony i'm gonna search for it now
[04:29] <Blaqlight> DEVEDE
[04:29] <gb__> dvdshrink for linux too :)
[04:29] <AtomicSunset> i cant get my USB hd mounted...
[04:30] <AtomicSunset>  sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdb1/media/Media -o force
[04:30] <AtomicSunset> isnt responding
[04:30] <nickrud> zeeee and sudo apt-get updgrade && sudo apt-cache policy skype  doesn't show it as available?
[04:30] <unikon> deejaypip ive got dvdshrink installed on gutsy
[04:30] <zeeee> nickrud, right.
[04:30] <zeeee> nickrud, (i assume you meant aptitude update for the first command)
[04:30]  * nickrud scratches head
[04:30] <FallGuy> how do i view the partitions in ubuntu
[04:30] <nickrud> zeeee either
[04:30] <imaginator> neoaddict: I don't know if X.org exposes that in a utility.  I know that there is a key sequence you can enable in your xorg.conf that allows you to disable the active grab though.
[04:30] <delirium-> google.
[04:31] <jikuty> i've installed ubuntu 8.04 on my thinkpad t61 and have noticed that my battery life has decreased dramatically compared to windows... is there an easy way to improve battery life? i'd like something like a visual power manager or something
[04:31] <nickrud> zeeee I don't mention aptitude (my personal tool of choice) because the uber-geeks in charge strongly recommend apt-get
[04:31] <neoaddict> imaginator: ok, thanks.  i'm gonna give it a shot on google; if i fail miserably at that, i shall come back here XD
[04:32] <Blaqlight> nickrud: any reason?
[04:32] <imaginator> neoaddict: good luck.
[04:32] <AtomicSunset> how do i mount a ntfs hd?
[04:32] <guestadmin_> nickrud, ok seems fine I suppose, here is output just in case: http://paste.ubuntu.com/32857/
[04:32] <gb__> AtomicSunset:  there is 1 mistake with the command u posted
[04:32] <AtomicSunset> whats that?
[04:32] <nickrud> Blaqlight the details I don't know. I'm told that apt-get is getting much more love than aptitude right now
[04:32] <AtomicSunset> thank you for responding
[04:32] <gb__> Atomic no space, in source and destination
[04:32] <AtomicSunset>  sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdb1/media/Media -o force
[04:33] <AtomicSunset> where?
[04:33] <Blaqlight> nickrud: Ive always used aptitude so I don't want to be doing something Im not supposed to if its frowned upon for a good reason...
[04:33] <nickrud> Guest22377 looks ok, run that command without the --dry-run
[04:33] <Flannel> Blaqlight: It has to do with the fact that the benefits of using aptitude only happen when you use aptitude for everything.  apt-get doesn't have said requirements for full functionalities.
[04:33] <gb__> ﻿sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdb1         /media/Media -o force
[04:33] <gb__> or try to create a new mount point
[04:33] <AtomicSunset> bah thank you so much!
[04:33] <gb__> welcome
[04:34] <Blaqlight> Flannel: ahh I see.
[04:34] <nickrud> Blaqlight and apt-get is approaching aptitude's advantages quickly.
[04:34] <td123> jikuty: http://www.j2fi.net/2007/12/08/getting-the-most-out-of-your-battery-in-ubuntu/
[04:34] <gb__> ok guys take care and thank you all
[04:34] <AtomicSunset> gb__ it says it fails to mount no such file or directory
[04:34] <Flannel> Blaqlight: with the introduction of autoremove (in ... edgy? feisty?) aptitude's "remove all the unused dependencies" were into mainline apt-get (instead of using deborphan)
[04:34] <gb__> Atomic create a mount point first
[04:34] <nickrud> Flannel that only handles libs right now?
[04:34] <AtomicSunset> but thats the command ubuntu is telling me to use
[04:35] <gb__> like mkdir /media/usb
[04:35] <gb__> ﻿sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdb1/media/usb  -o force
[04:35] <gb__> make sure sudo is used in both commands
[04:35] <Flannel> nickrud: I'm still on dapper, I've never actually used autoremove.  But I believe it works for everything.
[04:35] <Graham> need help with wine-doors - xfire wont display any characters in chat?
[04:35]  * nickrud looks at flannel, and thinks his clothes, while still neat, could use an upgrade
[04:36] <gb__> Atomic also make sure partition numbers are correct
[04:36] <Johnny> how do i set the icons for the entire system not just my user
[04:36] <guestadmin_> nickrud, was that advice for me? same command without dry run:  sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[04:36] <nickrud> guestadmin_ yes
[04:36] <Johnny> im in awesome using nautilus --no-desktop and i want to have my icons instead of standard ones
[04:36] <guestadmin_> nickrud, ok, will do
[04:36] <AtomicSunset> gb you are the man!
[04:36] <jikuty> td123: i'll give that a try... but is there no "power-saving" mode in ubuntu (apart from turning down the lcd backlight, etc) ?
[04:36] <AtomicSunset> thank you so much
[04:37] <Blaqlight> what is awesome?
[04:37] <AtomicSunset> that was my last lil hump to get over
[04:37] <gb__> welcome
[04:37] <Anon0764> Can anyone tell me how to remove the instruction text at the bottom of the grub bootloader, that is found outside the kernal box.
[04:37] <SirBob1701> is there a repo where i can get libpq 8.1 or newer?  libpg5 appears to be the newest in the hardy repo
[04:37] <Blaqlight> !info awesome
[04:38] <l3d> is there a way to get rpm to install with a pkg manager easy like
[04:38] <Blaqlight> ah ha!
[04:38] <gb__> take care guys
[04:38] <SirBob1701> l3d: have you looked at alien?
[04:38] <gb__> and thank you bderrly once again :)

[04:42] <cdm10> ethereality: that URL should be the one
[04:42] <ethereality> cdm10, the URL of the webpage is the podcast "feed"?
[04:42] <cvd-pr> ?
[04:42] <cvd-pr> its the away to stop showing them in the update manageR?
[04:42] <mjb2287> what is the best way to network my ubuntu desktop with my windows XP laptop?
[04:42] <cvd-pr> Why the update manager shows sun-java-6-bin, jre, plugin if i already have the open ones?
[04:42] <cdm10> ethereality: yep, try it
[04:42] <imaginator> metalpres: For what it's worth, I usually find that the extensions like XShm or Xv work better than OpenGL for video players.
[04:42] <ethereality> cdm10, cool, thanks.
[04:43] <cygoku> I have more than 300 000 files in /root/.local/share/Trash/files
[04:43] <thompa> Is there a problem with firefox or something, I cant view you tube just white space
[04:43] <cdm10> cygoku: and you want to empty the trash? Just use the command I told you.
[04:43] <Reformer81> I'm looking for instructions on how to use ffmpeg to convert videos to DVD format (specifically .FLV -> DVD).  I had found these instructions before, but Google seems to have misplaced them :)
[04:43] <chase_> Is there a way that you can make a folder that all users can use?
[04:43] <ethereality> i think it works, as far as rhythmbox is concerned, but the podcast download goes from "Waiting" to "Failed". why is it doing that? is it a problem with that webpage?
[04:43] <Reformer81> chase_: Just make the folder and change the permissions of that folder to include others.
[04:43] <nickrud> zeeee you have gutsy medibuntu repos
[04:43] <xynthpop> anyone got an idea for retrieving login and password from ubuntu studios 8.04?
[04:43] <pixels> vald0r: still kind of laggy in parts... hm
[04:44] <cdm10> ethereality: it could be the server actually hosting the audio files
[04:44] <metalpres> playing any video 720p or higher will completely max out my cpu and still play choppy, i just want a way to offload some of the work onto the gpu if possible
[04:44] <mjb2287> can i do it with a crossover cable or do i need to go through my router
[04:44] <cdm10> xynthpop: you can't retrieve a password, but you can change it to something else
[04:44] <xynthpop> how?
[04:44] <darkcrab> does anyone know why my firefox google search goes to the UK?
[04:44] <thompa> so does you tube work on ubuntu?
[04:44] <xynthpop> also i can't figure out what my login is either
[04:44] <cdm10> thompa: it does
[04:44] <Reformer81> thompa: Flawlessly, yes.
[04:44] <Reformer81> Well, maybe not flawlessly because it's all flash, but close.
[04:45] <Reformer81> xynthpop: Then you're screwed.  You need to know your username in order to change the password.
[04:45] <thompa> Reformer81: nothing here on 64
[04:45] <cdm10> xynthpop: reboot the system in Recovery Mode (when the system starts booting, hit escape to get into the grub menu, and choose recovery mode)
[04:45] <darkcrab> does start.ubuntu.com/8.04 take anyone else to the uk google site?
[04:45] <Reformer81> xynthpop: How on earth did you forget your username?  Or are  you attempting to hack? lol
[04:45] <Guest22377> hi i have ubuntu studio and when i installed it, it doesnt have the default network icon in the top right. so my question is how do i get that back so i can connect to a wireless network again for internet.
[04:45] <xynthpop> krab: are you proxyied?
[04:45] <cygoku> Thanks.
[04:45] <DavidCanarias> Can anyone help with a problem I am having with Java Applet. When I enter a web site I am told Applet not initialized so cant enter?
[04:45] <nickrud> xynthpop https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LostPassword
[04:45] <Blaqlight> xynthpop: the initial user set-up at install is the one you need.
[04:45] <chase_> Is there a way that i can make a folder above my user in the filesystem?
[04:46] <xynthpop> Reformer, i tried everyting
[04:46] <De[X]tone> hello, all...
[04:46] <thompa> Reformer81: i think it was working before
[04:46] <xynthpop> not smart enuff to hack
[04:46] <xynthpop> lol
[04:46] <cdm10> xynthpop: then run "less /etc/passwd" to read the passwd file, which lists users. Find the user you want to change the password of, and run the command "passwd username" (but use the username you found), and enter the new password.
[04:46] <cvd-pr> ?
[04:46] <cvd-pr> cheese
[04:46] <unikon> darkcrab you get that message
[04:46] <xynthpop> ok i'll try that
[04:47] <Reformer81> cdm10: Sort of dangerous to give out that information to someone that "forgot" their own username, don't you think?
[04:47] <xynthpop> Blaqlight, so i should reinstall?
[04:47] <glitsj16> Guest22377: try right-clicking the panel and adding the system notification area
[04:47] <xynthpop> i didn't forget it
[04:47] <Reformer81> Eh well... no computer is even half-way secure when physical access is compromised :)
[04:47] <xynthpop> at least
[04:47] <xynthpop> i thought i knew what it was
[04:47] <chase_> Is there a way that i can make a folder above my user in the filesystem?
[04:47] <xynthpop> this is weird
[04:47] <cdm10> Reformer81: It's publicly available...I'm not going to keep it to myself. Physical access, and all that.
[04:47] <cvd-pr> Why ubuntu have already installed the open java?
[04:47] <xynthpop> i tried everything i could have used and they all show up as not a user
[04:47] <Blaqlight> xynthpop: follow nickrud's post
[04:47] <Reformer81> chase_: You need to create the folder with root permissions.
[04:48] <cvd-pr> ?
[04:48] <mjb2287> better things to do i guess
[04:48] <Reformer81> chase_: sudo mkdir /BlahBlahBlah/
[04:48] <chase_> how do I do that exactly? first day coming from windows
[04:48] <chase_> ty

[04:48] <cdm10> Balian: how much RAM do you have on the system?
[04:49] <BSG75> how can I install kde4.1 under ubuntu please?
[04:49] <Balian> 250RAM
[04:49] <Reformer81> chase_: Since it is your first day, may I ask why you are trying to create a folder outside of your home folder?  What is it for?
[04:49] <Blaqlight> BSG75: sudo aptitude install kubuntu-desktop
[04:49] <chase_> how do I speak directly to you?
[04:49] <Balian> cdm10 250 RAM
[04:49] <cdm10> Balian: i've successfully installed on systems with that much, but it is below the minimum requirements... you might want to try the Alternate CD.
[04:49] <cdm10> !alternate | Balian
[04:49] <BSG75> Blaqlight: do I need to change anything in the sources.list?
[04:49] <Blaqlight> Balian: you mean 256MB?
[04:50] <Reformer81> Blaqlight: That will install KDE 4.0.... there's a separate repo for 4.1
[04:50] <wols> Blaqlight: 256MB minus some for the onboard graphics
[04:50] <chase_> Reformer81: how do i speak directly to you?
[04:50] <wnstn> chase_: what IRC program are you using?
[04:50] <Blaqlight> 6MB for the onboard video.. gee I hope he's not installing a GUI,
[04:51] <chase_> XChat
[04:51] <Reformer81> BSG75: http://www.kubuntu.org/news/kde-4.1
[04:51] <wnstn> u should b able just click his name
[04:51] <BSG75> Reformer81: thanks :)
[04:51] <Reformer81> Oh crap... that's right he probably can't message me until he registers lol

[04:51] <Reformer81> Did ubotu commit suicide again?
[04:52] <chase_> !query | chase_
[04:52] <mistergibson> is there a command that identifies the package a file belongs to?
[04:52] <wnstn> cdm10: I <3 uboto

[04:52] <hotmonkeyluv> in general, is ATI or nVidia a better choice for a linux system, in regards to drivers and support?
[04:53] <Guest22377> ok i just installed ubuntu studio and the network icon isnt present in the top right corner
[04:53] <cdm10> hotmonkeyluv: right now, nVidia, but that may change due to ATI's release of specs. However, right now, nVidia still has better drivers.
[04:53] <hotmonkeyluv> cdm10:  thanks!
[04:53] <cdm10> Guest22377: hit alt-f2, type "nm-applet", hit enter... see if that fixes it.
[04:53] <Blaqlight> hotmonkeyluv: ATI drivers have been nothing but trouble from what Ive seen in here.
[04:53] <Guest22377> ok thanks
[04:53] <DavidCanarias> Problems with Java applet. Anyone ideas why it tells me applet not initialized
[04:53] <adam7> my ATI drivers work fine
[04:53] <cvd-pr> ?
[04:53] <glitsj16> mistergibson: installing the apt-file package will give you that functionality
[04:54] <mistergibson> glitsj16: thanks :)
[04:54] <hotmonkeyluv> Blaqlight:  well, the only card i've used is a defective card, so it didn't matter what I did, it wouldn't work right. silly me.
[04:54] <hotmonkeyluv> Blaqlight:  thanks for the tip
[04:54] <Blaqlight> Im using Intel drivers...
[04:54] <syndr0> can anyone help me get my sony eyetoy to work as a webcam
[04:55] <optikalmouse> syndr0: Google it.
[04:55] <syndr0> i followed these instructions and downloaded some drivers, but i still cant seem to get it to work
[04:55] <optikalmouse> syndr0: there's a list of webcams supported by Linux somewhere
[04:55] <syndr0> i know
[04:55] <Blaqlight> mine really never worked at all without hours of work and ripping all of my hair out, until 8.04
[04:55] <syndr0> i have it bookmarked
[04:55] <Atomhunter> will the newest ubuntu install on an emac?
[04:55] <Balian> wath i can do with this instaler?
[04:55] <optikalmouse> syndr0: oh, awesome
[04:55] <cdm10> Atomhunter: I believe Ubuntu stopped making official PPC versions a few releases ago
[04:56] <syndr0> anyone willing to help me, BESIDES optikalmouse
[04:56] <hotmonkeyluv> Blaqlight:  yeah, I just kinda gave up on it
[04:56] <SeveredCross> I want to say 6.10 was the last PPC.
[04:56] <Atomhunter> Any idea of a distro that will install on a emac then? I have a friend who bought one for 70 bucks and is looking to put something useful on it
[04:56] <cdm10> 70 bucks? That's a little steep :)
[04:56] <Flannel> Atomhunter: There's an unofficial PPC build (put together by the PPC team)
[04:56] <Blaqlight> SeveredCross: that sounds about right.
[04:57] <SeveredCross> Yikes, 70 bucks for an eMac? Ripoff.
[04:57] <Flannel> Atomhunter: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ports/releases/8.04.1/release/
[04:57] <Atomhunter> cdm10: the highschool library ripped him off
[04:57] <cdm10> heh
[04:57] <Balian> how i can open this txt instal?? Help
[04:57] <cdm10> Balian: what do you mean by txt install? Are you trying to use the Alternate CD?
[04:57] <imaginator> syndr0: when you plug in the camera does a driver try to attach to your eyetoy?  (Note: try dmesg in a terminal before and after)
[04:58] <Balian> I dont haw it
[04:58] <mistergibson> I must say, I like ubuntu much more than gentoo
[04:58] <a-stray-cat> anyone feel like helping me getting sound to work with flash in firefox on an amd64? :o
[04:59] <td123> a-stray-cat: no
[04:59] <a-stray-cat> QQ
[04:59] <td123> a-stray-cat: but google will :P
[04:59] <a-stray-cat> ive tried google :< i ended up installing swiftweasel 32
[04:59] <a-stray-cat> and it works
[04:59] <a-stray-cat> but i'd rather just use the 64-bit firefox
[04:59] <syndr0> imaginator, nothing happened when i plugged it in
[04:59] <generalsnus> join #ldap
[05:00] <syndr0> i think ima follow some directions with older drivers
[05:01] <imaginator> syndr0: http://eocp.sourceforge.net/  I'm not sure how good those drivers are though.
[05:01] <Blaqlight> syndr0: sometimes older drivers can be dangerous, especially ones that can't see over the steering wheel..
[05:01] <iamdave> I tried to configurer xorg.conf to squeeze some extra resolutions out of my laptop, and all of a sudden compiz isn't workring
[05:01] <iamdave> "cannot enable desktop effects" any ideas there?
[05:01] <ManualOverDozer8> where are module alias loaded in Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy ?
[05:02] <syndr0> ty blaqlight
[05:02] <syndr0> ty imaginator

[05:02] <iamdave> er no
[05:02] <iamdave> system 2gb
[05:03] <xynthpop> i tried the less /etc/passwd thing
[05:03] <Blaqlight> drivers are current and the correct ones for your card?
[05:03] <xynthpop> it just gave my a bunch of flie names
[05:03] <iamdave> ayup
[05:03] <xynthpop> and colons and x's
[05:03] <Blaqlight> xynthpop: it works for me.
[05:03] <xynthpop> no usernames
[05:03] <xynthpop> i'm using Ubuntu studios hardy
[05:03] <xynthpop> any diff with that?
[05:03] <cory> Hello
[05:03] <Guest15056> ok so whats the deal? how come my network icon is gone in the system tray?
[05:04] <syndr0> imaginator, they dont have anydriver for linux yet ;o
[05:04] <iamdave> you should be able to just add it back guest
[05:04] <iamdave> right click the panel, add to panel
[05:04] <Blaqlight> xynthpop: no idea, never used it. shouldn't be any difference though..
[05:04] <xynthpop> Blaqlight what kind of info do you see when you less etc/passwd?
[05:04] <xynthpop> yeah this is weird
[05:04] <Guest15056> i hit alt+f2 and typed nm-applet and it said it wasnt found
[05:04] <xynthpop> cuz i swear i know what i put
[05:04] <xynthpop> but it doesn't work
[05:04] <DavidCanarias> Can anyone help with a problem Java applet plese?
[05:04] <xynthpop> and i tried all the variations i might use
[05:04] <Blaqlight> xynthpop: john:x:1000:1000:john,,,:/home/john:/bin/bash
[05:05] <xynthpop> yeah i was getting that
[05:05] <a-stray-cat> blah, td123 leave?
[05:05] <xynthpop> but with like daemon:x:something
[05:05] <Blaqlight> thats what my user thingy looks like using it.
[05:05] <xynthpop> proxy:x:
[05:05] <Guest15056> iamdave:is there another way to get wireless back besides alt+f2 then typing nm-applet?
[05:05] <iamdave> what I just told you to do?
[05:05] <iamdave> right click the panel and click add to panel.
[05:05] <xynthpop> one said nobody:x:nonexistent or something
[05:05] <xynthpop> could that be it?
[05:05] <iamdave> scroll down to network monitor
[05:06] <Blaqlight> xynthpop: look for an entry that looks exactly like that <insert username> at the beginning of the line
[05:06] <Guest15056> network monitor isnt the same thing. it doesnt give a drop down list of the possible networks to connect to.
[05:06] <xynthpop> yeah i scanned the whole thing
[05:06] <xynthpop> no username that i ever set is on there
[05:06] <Reformer81> I'm looking for instructions on how to use ffmpeg to convert videos to DVD format (specifically .FLV -> DVD).  I had found these instructions before, but Google seems to have misplaced them :)
[05:06] <Blaqlight> xynthpop: your user has to have a UID in the case above 1000
[05:07] <xynthpop> i wonder if i got turned into nobody with a password of nonexistent
[05:07] <imaginator> syndr0: ah, ok.  Do you happen to know what the usb id is of the eyetoy?  (you can find it with lsusb)
[05:07] <SixStringer> xynthpop - do you have a root password?
[05:07] <xynthpop> yeah
[05:07] <generalsnus> The past week i have tried to come up with a solution for authenticating linux clients to W2k3 AD, and also mount the users /home folders when they login, with no extra authentication. seems that the mounting of /home..is the biggest problem here. so if this aint possible. is there a "easy" howto..to do the same thing with a openLDAP server as authentication?
[05:07] <Bogus8> I'm confused here.. I'm running rsync -anI on a dir is a 441g partition mounted using 400g of space (4% free)... the results of that rsync says "total size is 527805686600"  wtf? :/
[05:07] <xynthpop> i use it to get into the root shell thing
[05:07] <syndr0> imaginator mind if we go private?
[05:07] <imaginator> that's fine
[05:07] <xynthpop> i also managed to reset my Unix password
[05:07] <xynthpop> not sure what that is
[05:08] <l3d> ayttm
[05:08] <SixStringer> then you can probably sudo passwd <user> <password>
[05:08] <xynthpop> i don't have a username
[05:09] <xynthpop> i set it and now it doesn't recognize it
[05:09] <Blaqlight> xynthpop: here do this which shell do you use?
[05:09] <xynthpop> so i was looking for a way to see a list of usernames
[05:09] <OzFalcon> Anyone know how to get camorama plugins?
[05:09] <xynthpop> it's the one on system recovery from grub
[05:09] <Blaqlight> bash yes?
[05:09] <ManualOverDozer8> module alias's stored where on Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy ? /etc/modprobe.conf ?
[05:09] <xynthpop> the boot shell option
[05:10] <SixStringer> cat /etc/passwd the first column is all of the users.
[05:10] <cvd-pr> thanks
[05:10] <xynthpop> really?
[05:10] <xynthpop> it looks like files and stuff for me
[05:10] <SixStringer> yes.
[05:10] <Blaqlight> xynthpop: if so do this 'less /etc/passwd | grep /bin/bash
[05:10] <xynthpop> there's one that's proxy
[05:10] <xynthpop> one is daemon
[05:10] <Blaqlight> it will show all the users in there that have a login shell
[05:10] <xynthpop> it looks like file info not usernames
[05:10] <SixStringer> you'll see syslog klog uucp.
[05:10] <xynthpop> yeah
[05:10] <xynthpop> i saw that
[05:11] <SixStringer> so if you're looking for a username look near the bottom of the file.
[05:11] <xynthpop> there was one that said "nobody"
[05:11] <Blaqlight> xynthpop: so who has a login shell?
[05:12] <xynthpop> who?
[05:12] <SixStringer> yes...I think nobody is in all /etc/passwd file in ubuntu.
[05:12] <generalsnus> The past week i have tried to come up with a solution for authenticating linux clients to W2k3 AD, and also mount the users /home folders when they login, with no extra authentication. seems that the mounting of /home..is the biggest problem here. so if this aint possible. is there a "easy" howto..to do the same thing with a openLDAP server as authentication?
[05:12] <xynthpop> ok so that's not me
[05:12] <xynthpop> what if there's no username in there?
[05:12] <eaglejazz> anybody have a favorite rss reader in ubuntu they can reccomend?
[05:12] <SixStringer> generalsnus...check out likewise
[05:12] <Johnny> how can i load icons for nautilus --no-desktop if im not running gnome
[05:12] <Blaqlight> xynthpop: do 'less /etc/passwd | grep /bin/bash' to see who has a login shell
[05:12] <SixStringer> you can create a user by typing adduser at the prompt
[05:12] <xynthpop> ok
[05:13] <xynthpop> at the root shell promt from recovery mode?
[05:13] <generalsnus> SixStringer: likewise dosent help me with the mounting of /home folders
[05:13] <Blaqlight> xynthpop: thats fine.
[05:14] <SixStringer> oh no...you're looking for a bit more than authentication and authorization, I take it..
[05:14] <Blaqlight> xynthpop: should list Root and a user
[05:14] <Elijah> how do i extract a gz file in terminal
[05:14] <xynthpop> i think so
[05:14] <Elijah> well actually how do i extract a tar.gz
[05:14] <xynthpop> i just installed it
[05:14] <xynthpop> haven't even started it up yet
[05:14] <Blaqlight> xynthpop: if only root then there are no users who can login... meaning you must create one.
[05:14] <happihippo> Elijah:  I think you can use tar
[05:14] <SixStringer> where are you trying to mount that /home directory?
[05:15] <xynthpop> so adduser USER password?
[05:15] <Blaqlight> xynthpop: might want to man adduser first :P
[05:15] <Johnny> how can i load icons for nautilus --no-desktop if im not running gnome
[05:15] <xynthpop> man
[05:15] <Blaqlight> xynthpop: in case you want some other options set..
[05:15] <xynthpop> i saw that too
[05:15] <SixStringer> you can type adduser username <enter> and follow the rest.
[05:15] <eaglejazz> :( rss reader anyone?
[05:15] <xynthpop> in that etc/passwd thing
[05:16] <SixStringer> sudo adduser <username>
[05:16] <happihippo> eaglejazz:  opera?
[05:16] <Blaqlight> man is its own user :P
[05:16] <daemon3> Is there a good application for creating a stereo pair?  I have the two images, I just need to put them side by side in one image.  I could do it with the gimp, but that would take too long.
[05:16] <xynthpop> w/o the <> i would imagine?
[05:17] <happihippo> daemon3:  I know of some in windoze
[05:17] <Guest15056> iamdave:
[05:17] <Blaqlight> Johnny: type gnome-session into a terminal
[05:17] <Johnny> im not in gnome
[05:17] <SixStringer> yes that's right.
[05:17] <SixStringer> xynth..
[05:17] <xynthpop> kewl
[05:17] <Blaqlight> Johnny: its not available or you want to run gnome without actually running gnome or what?
[05:18] <daemon3> happihippo: Any for Linux yet?
[05:18] <xynthpop> brb, hopefully this works
[05:18] <happihippo> daemon3: you can try plascolin
[05:18] <Elijah> happihippo, i can't use tar it says,
[05:19] <Johnny> yea that just completely fucked up my wm
[05:19] <Elijah> how do i extract a tar.gx in cli
[05:19] <Elijah> tar.gz
[05:19] <nickrud> Johnny nautilus is what displays the icons; when you run with --no-desktop there will be no icons
[05:19] <happihippo> Elijah:  are you using the right options?
[05:19] <Blaqlight> Johnny: instead of panicking just close the terminal :P
[05:19] <Johnny> icons in nautilus Nick_
[05:19] <Elijah> i used tar -xf filename.tar.gz
[05:19] <Johnny> i couldnt Blaqlight
[05:20] <Johnny> it took over my wm
[05:20] <SixStringer> tar -zxvf whatever.tar.gz
[05:20] <nickrud> Johnny precisely. If you run nautilus  without --no-desktop, you get icons.
[05:20] <Johnny> and no all my settings are screwed up
[05:20] <Elijah> it says "thiis does not look like a tar archive"
[05:20] <SixStringer> you can try to gunzip the file file first, then do a tar -xvf
[05:20] <DysfunXionaL> What would be the best way to transfer files from my girl's computer in another town to mine??
[05:20] <daemon3> Well, the good thing about open source is that if it doesn't exist, you can make it. :)
[05:21] <nickrud> DysfunXionaL ssh
[05:21] <Blaqlight> Johnny: running gnome-session from a terminal just runs that, if you close the termianl it goes back to what wm it was before.. I do it all the time in fluxbox.
[05:21] <Johnny> nickrud, i had it set to use oxygen icons and now i dont know how
[05:21] <happihippo> I use:  tar xvpfj filename.tar.gz -C [destination]
[05:21] <Elijah> SixStringer, and there it goes! thanks
[05:21] <SixStringer> Dys...scp
[05:21] <SixStringer> no prob..
[05:21] <Johnny> it went on top of awesome Blaqlight
[05:21] <Johnny> i couldnt get to the terminal
[05:22] <Johnny> and i couldnt open anything
[05:22] <DysfunXionaL> ty
[05:22] <nickrud> Johnny I repeat: when nautilus draws the desktop, you get icons. Now, if you use some other desktop manager, that may be setting your icons
[05:22] <nickrud> yeah, gnome-session starts a window manager and all
[05:22] <Blaqlight> I must have completely misunderstood what you wanted then :(
[05:23] <notsonerdysunny> is there a equivalent of /etc/inittab in ubuntu?
[05:23] <nickrud> notsonerdysunny /etc/event.d
[05:23] <Johnny> i just want to replace the folder icons in nautilus --no-desktop from the standard ones to the ones i had it set for
[05:23] <Johnny> i had it just a second ago
[05:23] <notsonerdysunny> thanks nickrud
[05:23] <nickrud> Johnny oh, the icons <inside> of nautilus, not on the desktop
[05:24] <Johnny> yea
[05:24] <nickrud> Johnny iirc, you can start gnome-settings-daemon but I'm not sure
[05:24] <notsonerdysunny> How would set up a ubuntu box to not start x?
[05:24] <Blaqlight> Im so confused now..
[05:24] <neoaddict> for an unknown reason, my mouse is acting funny - for example, once i click on a menu in GNOME and i release the button, it vanishes and if i click one of my panel quick launchers, nothing happens.  any ideas?
[05:24] <nickrud> notsonerdysunny sudo mv /etc/rc2.d/S30gdm /etc/rc2.d/K30gdm
[05:25] <happihippo> notsonerdysunny:  runlevel 3
[05:25] <SixStringer> neo - easiest thing is to try a new mouse...
[05:26] <notsonerdysunny> happihippo: yea I know i have to run it to runlevel 3 .. but where do i set it .. I would set it in the /etc/inittab file in a fedora/redhat distro..
[05:26] <happihippo> I always set it on boot in grub
[05:26] <Johnny> is there an app to change the icons in my gtk icons in a light window manger
[05:26] <neoaddict> SixStringer: same prob with diff mouse
[05:27] <nickrud> Johnny you can set an icon theme with gconf-editor /desktop/gnome/interface/icon_theme .
[05:27] <Blaqlight> thats funny, I try to run gnome-settings-daemon and I get a funny error : ** (gnome-settings-daemon:7450): WARNING **: Couldn't connect to session bus: Failed to connect to socket /tmp/dbus-erSgv2IljU: Connection refused
[05:28] <Johnny> its already set to the theme i want Nick_
[05:28] <notsonerdysunny> happihippo: would I just add runlevel=3 to the boot command on boot?
[05:28] <SixStringer> neo - when was the last time you booted that box?
[05:28] <Johnny> nickrud, *
[05:28] <Johnny> im in awesome not gnome
[05:28] <neoaddict> SixStringer: a few hours ago
[05:28] <SixStringer> has it been doing that since you bootd?
[05:28] <SixStringer> booted?
[05:28] <happihippo> notsonerdysunny:  that's what I do.
[05:28] <neoaddict> SixStringer: even before
[05:28] <notsonerdysunny> thanks happihippo
[05:29] <nickrud> Johnny gconfd is where nautilus reads settings from. I do believe you need to have that running for nautilus to use anything but defaults
[05:29] <notsonerdysunny> thanks nickrud
[05:29] <nickrud> notsonerdysunny run level 3 is the same as run level 2 in ubuntu (as far as graphical/console goes)
[05:29] <Johnny> how do i run it nickrud
[05:29] <SixStringer> That's strange...um...  Do you have the ubuntu install cd?  I would try booting from that and seeing if the live cd give you the same result.
[05:29] <dfl> hello
[05:30] <nickrud> Johnny try   gconfd &  in a terminal
[05:30] <xynthpop> password girl again
[05:30] <happihippo> notsonerdysunny:  you can also try editing /etc/inittab
[05:30] <Johnny> not there
[05:30] <neoaddict>  SixStringer: mkay
[05:30] <xynthpop> it worked!
[05:30] <guestadmin_> nickrud, one more question, sorry, what is this? http://paste.ubuntu.com/32864/
[05:30] <SixStringer> xynth...what happened?
[05:30] <xynthpop> i added myself
[05:30] <SixStringer> oh good..
[05:30] <nickrud> Johnny but it's been quite a while since I've tried running just parts of gnome, not the full environment
[05:30] <xynthpop> and i logged in successfully
[05:30] <SixStringer> now you're a real person :)
[05:30] <xynthpop> just wondering
[05:30] <notsonerdysunny> happihippo: i don't find a inittab in the ubuntu distro
[05:30] <xynthpop> lol
[05:30] <xynthpop> AT LAST
[05:30] <Johnny> can i edit the icons in nautilus somehow?
[05:30] <xynthpop> now i just need to know the magic words to type to get into gui land
[05:31] <SixStringer> your machine boots to a login prompt?
[05:31] <xynthpop> yeah
[05:31] <xynthpop> command line
[05:31] <nickrud> guestadmin_ say Yes, and for any others like that you see. That is there so that if you have manually edited any of the system config files you can keep your personalization. Unless you know you edited anything in /etc , just say yes
[05:31] <xynthpop> not gui input
[05:31] <happihippo> notsonerdysunny:  try "telinit 3"
[05:31] <ManualOverDozer8> there is a way to star x from there
[05:32] <murlidhar> xynthpop: try startx
[05:32] <SixStringer> yes...
[05:32] <xynthpop> startx?
[05:32] <guestadmin_> nickrud, ok will do, thx
[05:32] <Yondering> xynthpop, startx should work, after you log in.
[05:32] <SixStringer> you might have to sudo startx
[05:32] <happihippo> to start x type "startx"
[05:32] <xynthpop> ok
[05:32] <xynthpop> any way i can set this to go to desktop automatically?
[05:32] <nickrud> ohhh, don't run X from recovery console unless you know exactly what you are doing
[05:32] <nickrud> xynthpop yes, type exit
[05:32] <ManualOverDozer8> options session
[05:32] <xynthpop> no i mean like
[05:33] <xynthpop> to actually start up
[05:33] <tytap> hello,  i received an offer from a friend which is he selling it new.  can anybody le me know if Ubuntu can be installed right away - Sony VAIO VGN-NR385E/W Notebook laptop .
[05:33] <xynthpop> like when i run the kernel it goes to the login thingee
[05:33] <nickrud> xynthpop it should start automatically when you boot up normally. It's not doing that?
[05:33] <happihippo> from runlevel 3 you can use startx to get to gnome just fine
[05:33] <xynthpop> not a gui login
[05:33] <SixStringer> first see if x comes up...
[05:33] <xynthpop> it goes into this text login prompt
[05:33] <nickrud> happihippo try this:   ls /etc/rc3.d/S30gdm
[05:33] <xynthpop> and when i log in it gives me a command line
[05:34] <SixStringer> what do you get when you type startx?
[05:34] <xynthpop> myname@system~ or something
[05:34] <ManualOverDozer8> ﻿xynthpop : System/Administration/Login Screen
[05:34] <ManualOverDozer8> ﻿xynthpop : System/Administration/Login Screen : choose session
[05:34] <nickrud> xynthpop type sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start
[05:34] <xynthpop> haven't tried that yet
[05:34] <ManualOverDozer8> yes, nickrud has it
[05:34] <xynthpop> gnome desktop manager?
[05:34] <SixStringer> yep.
[05:34] <nickrud> xynthpop a good choice ;)
[05:35] <xynthpop> so i should do that?
[05:35] <xynthpop> or startx?
[05:35] <SixStringer> run nickrud's command xynth..
[05:35] <xynthpop> kk
[05:35] <ManualOverDozer8> nickrud : may i ask you a question concerning aliases, reguarding modprobe ? is it a compatability issue, to have to make aliases for modules ?
[05:36] <xynthpop> thx everyone
[05:36] <SixStringer> did it come up?
[05:36] <SixStringer> x...that is.
[05:37] <tytap> help please... i received an offer from a friend which is he selling it a new sony vaio lapto. Is Ubuntu compatible with new computers?
[05:37] <nickrud> ManualOverDozer8 you looking at aliases in that dir?
[05:37] <happihippo> tytap:  I would think so
[05:37] <xynthpop> i have to reboot
[05:37]  * nickrud puts off answering, hoping the truth comes back to mind
[05:37] <xynthpop> i'm in vista *uck*
[05:37] <Blaqlight> tytap: how 'new' is new?
[05:37] <ManualOverDozer8> nickrud : in the aliases file yes, i checked it out, i needed to know, cause a friend may need to insert and alias
[05:37] <SixStringer> ubuntu should run nice on that Sony.  Try google for a hardware compatibility list for Ubuntu and see what pops up.
[05:37]  * De[X]tone be back latter, restarting - try to load synaptics
[05:37] <happihippo> tytap:  you can always try ubuntu live CD
[05:38] <Blaqlight> xynthpop: strike one for you :P
[05:38] <xynthpop> :P
[05:38] <happihippo> Hey, I run Vista too (on some of my boxes), it's not all that bad
[05:38] <tytap> the computer is brand new...Sony VAIO VGN-NR385E.  opened, but barely used.
[05:38] <nickrud> ManualOverDozer8 it's been a few years since I did anything really kernel related. I vaguely remember why they use aliases, but not well enough t comment. (in other words, I don't know ;)
[05:39] <ManualOverDozer8> nickrud : ok, thank you
[05:39] <Blaqlight> SixStringer: it all depends on how new the hardware is... if its bleeding edge new its prolly not going to run perfectly.
[05:39] <xynthpop> i do audio stuff so all the "industry standard" stuff requires a win or mac os
[05:39] <ldiain> any programmers on, I need to know what resource file to edit to set the environment correctly so that I dont have to push any -l or -L arguments for standard libs and includes
[05:39] <SixStringer> vista is such a piece of garbage.  XP finally grew up and became somewhat stable and then they put out that piece of garbage.
[05:39] <ManualOverDozer8> mac is very common in the media industry
[05:39] <xynthpop> yeah
[05:39] <SixStringer> you're prob right blaq..
[05:40] <moreau> phantom: tell it to force connect to a network
[05:40] <xynthpop> protools still runs better on it
[05:40] <neoaddict> for an unknown reason, my mouse is acting funny - for example, once i click on a menu in GNOME and i release the button, it vanishes and if i click one of my panel quick launchers, nothing happens.  any ideas?  ok on ubuntu live cd, but not on system
[05:40] <ManualOverDozer8> look at all the governments that use linux servers
[05:40] <SixStringer> I'd love to get my hands on a copy of protools...
[05:40] <Blaqlight> sony laptops tend to bleeding edge new... but if its new in the box but a year old its going to run better.
[05:40] <happihippo> tytap:  http://releases.ubuntu.com/hardy/
[05:41] <happihippo> Vista is stable for me, then again I run about 15 os'
[05:41] <nickrud> Blaqlight I'm perty sure it's documented in the kernel docs
[05:42] <Blaqlight> nickrud: I know, just saying don't be shocked is all :D
[05:42] <tytap> thanks for all you help:)
[05:43] <imaginator> neoaddict: I see you're still struggling with that mouse issue.  It sounds like it might be something else other than the mouse in this case, considering it works with a live cd.
[05:43] <imaginator> neoaddict: does it behave that way with all mouse buttons?  What happens when you try to right-click the desktop for instance?
[05:44] <ManualOverDozer8> speaking of mouse issues ... my scroll wheel goes way too fast, is there any way i can slow it down ? it is way to jumpy
[05:44] <neoaddict> for an unknown reason, my mouse is acting funny - for example, once i click on a menu in GNOME and i release the button, it vanishes and if i click one of my panel quick launchers, nothing happens.  any ideas?  ok on ubuntu live cd, but not on system
[05:45] <ManualOverDozer8> neaddict L just going from what i see, there is options to be able to control things like mouse-over, hold-time, single-click-delays , double-click-thresholds, etc
[05:45] <SixStringer> neo...can you check your /etc/X11/xorg.conf and search for mouse?
[05:45] <ManualOverDozer8> i just cant happen to find the one for the wheel
[05:45] <ManualOverDozer8> neoaddict let me see if i can find that section again, maybe it will help
[05:46] <neoaddict> ManualOverDozer8: ok
[05:46] <neoaddict> SixStringer: it is there
[05:46] <Balian> i instali ubuntu 6.12 and i need hawe Boot disc on flopy disc how do this pleas Help i konow google but i can't fund this
[05:46] <Balian> HELP
[05:46] <neoaddict> ManualOverDozer8: the mouse config for GNOME?
[05:47] <Flannel> Balian: There is no Ubuntu 6.12.  Which version are you trying to install, and why do you need a floppy boot disk?
[05:48] <xynthpop> oh god
[05:48] <xynthpop> i'm not in the superdoers file
[05:48] <J-_> It appears that ccsm isn't in my menu even after refrshing gnome-panel. Any suggestions?
[05:48] <xynthpop> ;_;
[05:48] <Flannel> xynthpop: you wouldn't be.
[05:48] <xynthpop> This incident will be reported
[05:48] <Rat409> lol
[05:48] <xynthpop> i'm just not super enough
[05:49] <Flannel> xynthpop: type 'groups', are you in admin?
[05:49] <xynthpop> so my computer thinks i'm trying to hack it
[05:49] <ManualOverDozer8> neaaddict : found it > gconf-editor    you may need to install it from SPM there  is all types of options there. the ones for the mouse-click stuff is in there too
[05:49] <xynthpop> maybe the adduser command doesn't create admins?
[05:49] <J-_> Going to restart X, see if that does it
[05:49] <Flannel> xynthpop: What groups are you in? (whats the output of 'groups')
[05:49] <ManualOverDozer8> neoaddict: i think i checked the mouse options, but i will check again. i dont think i seen a wheel control
[05:50] <xynthpop> i'll have to restart and enter it
[05:51] <SixStringer> i guess xynthpop is dual-bootin'
[05:51] <ManualOverDozer8> neoaddict: no option for wheel control in Sys/Pref/Mouse  maybe i can find a linux driver for the mouse that jas it. it must be the generic mouse driver support that is installed. works but wheel too fast. maybe have to deal with it
[05:52] <neoaddict> ManualOverDozer8: doesn't seem to be a wheel problem; seems that the buttons are messed up
[05:52] <Rat409> ManualOverDozer8: try gsynaptics?
[05:52] <Balian> bicouse i don't want have boot on hdd
[05:52] <neoaddict> ManualOverDozer8: b/c for example in the mouse config, when i click on the lightbulb, it starts off as bright, then goes dimmer o_O
[05:52] <Balian> flannel bicouse i don't want have boot on hdd
[05:53] <danfuhry> ehh, anyone know what the situation is with the broken yelp in the main repo?
[05:53] <happihippo> ManualOverDozer8:  have you tried looking at xorg.conf?
[05:53] <ManualOverDozer8> neoaddict : i see. yes, sometimes i see it happen with mine, but very rare. i dont know what does it, but it happens so little i dont think anything of it
[05:53] <Flannel> !grub | Balian
[05:53] <Flannel> Balian: second link will get you all set up
[05:54] <neoaddict> ManualOverDozer8: yeah, and single-clicks became double-clicks in nautilus all of a sudden o_O
[05:54] <ManualOverDozer8> happihippo : yes it says : Identifier	"Configured Mouse
[05:54] <ManualOverDozer8> only basic mouse driver i would suppose
[05:54] <Vamps> is there more then one boodloader liek grub for ubuntu or linux  in general
[05:54] <Flannel> !lilo | Vamps
[05:54] <ManualOverDozer8> neoaddict by chance is accessability enabled ?
[05:54] <danfuhry> Vamps: grub is grub, it's pretty much the same on all distros.
[05:54] <neoaddict> ManualOverDozer8: no
[05:55] <ManualOverDozer8> happihippo : there is only 3 lines including  : Option		"CorePointer"
[05:55] <Vamps> there are alternatives but grub would be the best
[05:55] <selocol> i cant view big5 stuff in a telnet session. how do i add support for this locale?
[05:55] <ManualOverDozer8> happihippo : nothing really there, but you gave me an idea. maybe there is an "Option" i can isnter that will fix the issue. thanks
[05:56] <happihippo> I think it's Option ZAxisMapping, but I'm not sure
[05:56] <xynthpop> ok as far as the groups command it showed me as the only group when i logged in, and when i useed the root in recovery mmode it showed only root
[05:56] <Balian> i know wath is grub but i want do boot (grub) on floppy disc and i do boot CD
[05:56] <ManualOverDozer8> happihippo : by the way, its a MS-Comfort3000 Optical . maybe linux is looking at it as a rouge device ;)
[05:56] <SixStringer> ok xynthpop...you need to open the /etc/group file.
[05:57] <Balian> Flannel i know wath is grub but i want do boot (grub) on floppy disc and i do boot CD
[05:57] <Flannel> xynthpop: What did you do recently with groups?  tried to add yourself to another group with like usermod?
[05:57] <Flannel> SixStringer: no, he doesn't.
[05:57] <xynthpop> just typed groups
[05:57] <xynthpop> she lol
[05:57] <ManualOverDozer8> ﻿happihippo : wonderfull idea, i will get right to it
[05:57] <Flannel> xynthpop: Before that.  Before it broke.
[05:57] <xynthpop> oh this is an install
[05:57] <xynthpop> it hasn't worked yet
[05:58] <SixStringer> you should see a line in that file admin:x:115 or something like that..
[05:58] <Flannel> xynthpop: Er... What?
[05:58] <SixStringer> you running a live cd?
[05:58] <xynthpop> somehow i instlalled without a admin account
[05:58] <vinod> how to install kmess-1.5.1.x86.package
[05:58] <Flannel> xynthpop: Whats your username? oem?
[05:58] <xynthpop> i installed from the Ubuntu Studios 8.04 live
[05:58] <ManualOverDozer8> happihippo : found this first hit on Google > https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ManyButtonsMouseHowto
[05:58] <xynthpop> oem?
[05:59] <neoaddict> well this is sad - autoscroll doesn't even work anymore o_O
[05:59] <Flannel> xynthpop: what group are you in?  (whats your username?)
[05:59] <SixStringer> xynthpop - are you trying to dual-boot?
[05:59] <vinod> i don't know
[05:59] <xynthpop> oh um it only shows one group when i type groups
[05:59] <xynthpop> and it's whatever i'm logged in as
[05:59] <Flannel> xynthpop: and that group is?
[05:59] <bangers_> I have the 2 cron jobs, can someone pelase confirm they'll run correctly at 3am every monday, and for the second one, every hour on the hour?
[05:59] <bangers_> 0 3 * * 1 /usr/bin/foobar
[05:59] <bangers_> 0 * * * * /usr/bin/foobar
[05:59] <xynthpop> root or my name
[05:59] <Flannel> xynthpop: and that username is?
[05:59] <ManualOverDozer8> thing is, i have a button on the side i like to double up as middle-click, this would be great if i can get it working like that
[05:59] <happihippo> well there you go!
[05:59] <Flannel> xynthpop: batteryp?
[06:00] <xynthpop> lol
[06:00] <Flannel> xynthpop: Alright, well,  users and groups are set up last, so it might be that your install didn't finish properly.
[06:00] <xynthpop> where are you getting this?
[06:00] <xynthpop> ohhh
[06:00] <xynthpop> that realname thing?
[06:00] <xynthpop> i'm logged into windows atm
[06:00] <bangers_> anyone??
[06:00] <xynthpop> i'm trying to get my hardy to function for the first time
[06:00] <Flannel> xynthpop: You should ask in #ubuntustudio, they might know more.  Or try installing with an original Ubuntu, and then cnverting to ubuntu studio
[06:01] <happihippo> bangers_:  lemme check
[06:01] <xynthpop> i've got a copy of the gutsy version
[06:01] <meoblast001> hi
[06:01] <xynthpop> should i try that?
[06:01] <Flannel> bangers_: yes.
[06:01] <SixStringer> xynthpop...
[06:02] <SixStringer> I had ubuntu studio at one point too.
[06:02] <xynthpop> omg
[06:02] <xynthpop> does it suck ass?
[06:02] <meoblast001> i have a question..... i have a friend who wants ubuntu but doesnt want to make a launchpad account.... if i sent it to his address with my account, would it send him my password by any chance? im paranoid about my password
[06:02] <xynthpop> i mean
[06:02] <xynthpop> butt
[06:02] <bangers_> Thanks !!
[06:02] <SixStringer> You're better off going with the regular install and then adding the studio stuff on afterward.
[06:02] <bangers_> :q!
[06:02] <xynthpop> is it worth adding?
[06:02] <SixStringer> It's just a different theme with a bunch of media packages that get installed..
[06:02] <xynthpop> or is there something that's better for audio?
[06:03] <xynthpop> yeah
[06:03] <xynthpop> and a silly desktop theme :P
[06:03] <danfuhry> meoblast001: aside from the six to ten weeks and the whole deal with a strange internationally shipped package arriving, you'll be save sending it to him by mail
[06:03] <SixStringer> Well, are you more interested in ubuntu or is the media stuff what you're trying to get at?
[06:03] <danfuhry> *safe
[06:03] <Flannel> xynthpop: Everything in ubuntu studio is available in the regular repositories.
[06:03] <Flannel> xynthpop: So if you want just something specific, you can always just add that particular program
[06:03] <jose> Hello can someone help me out with installing the new nvidia drivers please?
[06:04] <xynthpop> it's just packaged that way right?
[06:04] <greg_> can anyone suggest a DVD encoder for making DVD from .avi, .mpeg, .mpg etc?Thanks
[06:04] <happihippo> bangers_: looks good to me
[06:04] <xynthpop> yeah actually i had to drop all the media stuff to get it to install
[06:04] <xynthpop> it freaked out on me a few times
[06:04] <xynthpop> i think it really hates my laptop :P
[06:04] <SixStringer> try the regular ubuntu install first, then you can add the studio stuff afterwards...It's much easier.
[06:04] <jose> Hello can someone help me out with installing the new nvidia drivers please?
[06:04] <danfuhry> jose: have you tried using restricted drivers manager?
[06:04] <jose> yes
[06:04] <jose> but I need the latest ones from nvidia
[06:05] <jose> website
[06:05] <happihippo> jose:  which nvidia card?
[06:05] <jose> 8800 GTS
[06:05] <jose> I have the drives on the desktop
[06:05] <foool> new to linux - Is it possible to set just the folders with a file permission recursivly to 755 and files only to 644, without having to do each one at a time?
[06:05] <jose> NVIDIA-Linux-x86-173.14.12-pkg1.run
[06:05] <maxhrk> hi all
[06:06] <xynthpop> so how do i repair the damage done and just get back to 2 the two main partitions instead of writing to other parts of the disc?
[06:06] <SixStringer> chmod 755 folder/ --recursive
[06:06] <maxhrk> anyone know there a fire plugin for compiz? Like when i close or open the app/window, the fire effect occurs.
[06:06] <danfuhry> foool: i believe you can use a capital X instead of lowercase to only set it on folders and leave it off on files
[06:06] <HorizonXP> hey, Transmission seems to be just closing on its own when i keep torrents open. I'm losing a lot of my download progress, and it's taking longer than necessary because of the crashes. Any ideas on how to fix this?
[06:06] <happihippo> jose: did you try running it?
[06:06] <jose> nop
[06:06] <jose> how can I run it
[06:06] <jose> lawl >.<
[06:06] <danfuhry> jose: open a terminal, type cd ~/Desktop
[06:06] <SixStringer> you want to re-install ubuntu on the same partition where you have it installed now.
[06:06] <danfuhry> then type:
[06:06] <vontux> hi, it is safte to resize a windows xp partition from gparted on live cd of ubuntu 8.04 correct?
[06:06] <jose> ready opened
[06:07] <jose> im ready there
[06:07] <danfuhry> sudo sh ./NVIDIA-......-pkg1.run
[06:07] <xynthpop> do i have to re gpart it?
[06:07] <neoaddict> so, no more ideas on my mouse dilemma? :-/
[06:07] <Vamps> swap mouse reboot lol
[06:07] <SixStringer> no you don't have to re-create the partition...It's probably already ext3.
[06:07] <happihippo> what dilemma is that neoaddict?
[06:08] <happihippo> I'd do the same as Vamps.  If you have a USB mouse, try using a ps2 mouse
[06:08] <Suspect|Lappy> Hey guys.. I was wondering if anyone could help me get Ubuntu to play nicer with my laptop's video card. I've gone from Ubuntu, to Debian Testing, and back to Ubuntu on my laptop and video used to work better, but now it seems to be really choppy and I can't seem to fix it. I have a Trident Cyberblade Ai1 or something like that... Google hasn't helped much :?
[06:08] <jose>  '/var/log/nvidia-installer.log'
[06:08] <neoaddict> for an unknown reason, my mouse is acting funny - for example, once i click on a menu in GNOME and i release the button, it vanishes and if i click one of my panel quick launchers, nothing happens.  any ideas?
[06:08] <danfuhry> foool: i've also used a more complex bash operation to do that: chmod -R 755 . && find . -type f | xargs chmod 644
[06:08] <neoaddict> happihippo: above message
[06:08] <jose> look what it says    -  >     ERROR: Installation has failed.  Please see the file
[06:08] <jose>          '/var/log/nvidia-installer.log' for details.  You may find
[06:08] <jose>          suggestions on fixing installation problems in the README available
[06:08] <jose>          on the Linux driver download page at www.nvidia.com.
[06:08] <FloodBot2> jose: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[06:08] <Vamps> have you tried the mouse on anothe rpc neo?
[06:09] <meoblast001> are there any differences between 64 and 32 bit ubuntu other than the ram limits?
[06:09] <foool> thanks guys
[06:09] <meoblast001> or is there any limitations that a normal user wouldnt like
[06:09] <danfuhry> meoblast001: forget running flash ;-)
[06:09] <guestadmin_> nickrud, not sure what this error is, everything just stopped after this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/32881/  (I have the regular $ prompt at the bottom) , Not sure if its relevant, but firefox closed on its own, and my cursor is now black instead of white, with a timer thing like the old macs when its busy instead of the pretty firefox like dotten circle going round and round, cursor is also different when hihlighting text
[06:09] <happihippo> did you try a different mouse?
[06:09] <neoaddict> Vamps: well, i tried another mouse from another computer on this one, same problem; appears to be software problem?
[06:09] <meoblast001> danfuhry: should i recommend him 32 then?
[06:09] <happihippo> prolly xorg
[06:10] <vontux> hi, it is safte to resize a windows xp partition from gparted on live cd of ubuntu 8.04 correct?
[06:10] <SixStringer> vontux: I've done it safely once or twice...
[06:10] <happihippo> vontux, I haven't had any problems doing that, but you should back up first
[06:10] <danfuhry> meoblast001: probably good to recommend 32-bit unless he wants to squeeze out every last bit of performance
[06:11]  * danfuhry wonders if gparted uses ntfsresize as a backend
[06:11] <xynthpop> vontux, it's a little scary
[06:11] <glitsj16> neoaddict: have you checked your /var/log/Xorg.0.log yet for relevant warnings (WW) or errors (EE) ?
[06:11] <Vamps> neo : i from time to time do get the same problem.. not all the time mind you but once in a while.
[06:11] <neoaddict> happihippo: http://pastebin.com/m56ce516a
[06:11] <xynthpop> the dell support guy yelled at me for not using the windows one
[06:11] <SixStringer> eh...who needs windows anyway?
[06:11] <jose> I need help installing my Video card please
[06:11] <jose> Im getting an error
[06:11] <vontux> happihippo , SixStringer: how risky is it?
[06:11] <danfuhry> jose: paste the error in http://rafb.net/paste/
[06:11] <Suspect|Lappy> SixStringer, at least Windows has proper drivers for things Lol
[06:12] <SixStringer> well...it's better than it used to be.
[06:12] <DysfunXionaL> Back with some SSH probs lol
[06:12] <neoaddict> glitsj16: (EE) Error compiling keymap (server-0) | (EE) XKB: Couldn't compile keymap
[06:12] <happihippo> I'm not sure how risky it is.  Like I said, I've done it, but if your data is important, it would be prudent to backup first.
[06:12] <Suspect|Lappy> I would love to get it so navigating web pages on my laptop wasn't so painful
[06:12] <xynthpop> SixStringer	eh...who needs windows anyway?---->me, as long as my linux won't werk
[06:12] <Suspect|Lappy> Stupid Trident videocard, lol
[06:12] <SixStringer> yeah well MS worked with a lot of hw vendors on that stuff.  If they didn't windows drivers would be crap too.
[06:12] <Suspect|Lappy> I understand that
[06:12] <Suspect|Lappy> Still..
[06:13] <SixStringer> you don't need windows...get a mac...especially for the media stuff.
[06:13] <DysfunXionaL> I'm on xUbuntu, she's on Ubuntu, both Hardy. She's server, both read "Howto SSH Gnome"
[06:13] <glitsj16> neoaddict: can't tell straight off if that's related, but error is error so somethings up with your xorg.conf hmm
[06:13] <Suspect|Lappy> I can't seem to find any help for getting my trident videocard to owrk nicer
[06:13] <Suspect|Lappy> Seems to be that no one cares about it

[06:13] <bcroubcose> hey guys can any one tell me wht this is all about "There is not enough room on the disk to save /tmp/blYMbVib.deb.part.

[06:13] <supratim> hi all! can you guys tell me how to backup installed softwares so that when I reformat i don't have to download them from the web?
[06:13] <glitsj16> neoaddict: thx, checking
[06:13] <xynthpop> GET A MAC
[06:13] <xynthpop> PAY WITH SNAKES
[06:14] <Ben> Hi, all
[06:14] <Blaqlight> xynthpop: Ill pass.
[06:14] <Blaqlight> poor snakes.
[06:14] <Blaqlight> !hi | Ben
[06:14] <SixStringer> mac's aren't cheap, but at least for media folks, it's a great environment to work in.
[06:14] <DysfunXionaL> Tried logging in thru terminal, doesn't ask for pass or do anything, also tried 'sftp user@box' no luck
[06:14] <happihippo> neoaddict:  you can try this link
[06:14] <happihippo> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ManyButtonsMouseHowto
[06:14] <Suspect|Lappy> Heh
[06:15] <guestadmin_> Or, anyone else out there, I'm not sure what this error is, (Just did "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" to Gutsy) everything just stopped after this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/32881/  (I have the regular $ prompt at the bottom) , Not sure if its relevant, but firefox closed on its own, and my cursor is now black instead of white, with a timer thing like the old macs when its busy instead of the pretty firefox like dotten circle going round
[06:15] <guestadmin_> and round, cursor is also different when highlighting text. Is Gutsy fully installed?
[06:15] <xynthpop> yeah if you're going to build a big DAW
[06:15] <rebel_kid> odd, stupid question... im very new to programming, i know javascript fairly well but im looking to learn basic computer programming, what is the simplest language i can start off with, i need it to do basic computations and basic user graphical interface, with the ability to be compiled into a linux or windows program
[06:15] <jose> danfuhry
[06:15] <Miesco> How do I install a source but make it a deb package first
[06:15] <Flannel> rebel_kid: Check out python.  diveintopython.org and theres a tutorial on python.org too
[06:15] <SixStringer> are you going to re-install on your machine xynth?
[06:15] <glitsj16> neoaddict: what does that "compose:menu" option in your Generic Keyboard section do exactly ? do you know ?
[06:16] <Ben> Thank you, I have bought a new computer and i install fedora8 in it.
[06:16] <xynthpop> i guess
[06:16] <rebel_kid> Flannel: i thought python was a web based language
[06:16] <glitsj16> neoaddict: line 23 that is
[06:16] <neoaddict> glitsj16: third-level chooser for accented characters, eg é
[06:16] <Flannel> rebel_kid: Nope
[06:16] <SixStringer> it's the best way to go.
[06:16] <xynthpop> is there a more idiot--proof version?
[06:16] <danfuhry> rebel_kid: only if you work for google ;-)
[06:16] <neoaddict> glitsj16: however, i have a regular 2 button + middle button mouse :-/
[06:16] <Flannel> rebel_kid: about a third of the stuff in Ubuntu is held together with python
[06:16] <glitsj16> neoaddict: okay thx
[06:16] <rebel_kid> Flannel: awesome, ill take a look and see if it will work
[06:16] <Blaqlight> python is a high-lvl programming language. php is for the web :P
[06:16] <SixStringer> The install isn't that bad.  You just need to pay a little bit of attention to the screens.
[06:17] <xynthpop> like cuz i so do not understand what's going on in those partitioning guides
[06:17] <Suspect|Lappy> Heh... so I guess no one knows how to get Ubuntu to work better on a trident video card?
[06:17] <SixStringer> you have an NTFS partition?
[06:17] <rebel_kid> my main concern is how simple is it, i just learned javascript, need to take baby steps :)
[06:17] <SixStringer> Just leave that one alone and you should be OK.
[06:17] <xynthpop> yeah
[06:17] <xynthpop> it's what i'm on atm
[06:17] <Flannel> rebel_kid: Lets move this conversation to #ubuntu-offtopic
[06:18] <Johnny> how do you list just dirctories
[06:18] <SixStringer> typically for a quick ubuntu install, you create a partition and a swap area.
[06:18] <supratim> is it possible to backup installed softwares?
[06:18] <nickrud> guestadmin_ run sudo dpkg --configure -a , and put the output on paste.ubuntu.vcom
[06:18] <SixStringer> you can basically just let the installer do all the work.
[06:18] <glitsj16> neoaddict: going to add something to that paste you can try (if you haven't already) .. back with the URL in a minute
[06:18] <neoaddict> glitsj16: ok
[06:18] <SixStringer> The second time through it will be a little less scary too.
[06:19] <Suspect|Lappy> Hrm
[06:19] <xynthpop> i tried
[06:19] <xynthpop> now i've got like 6 partitions
[06:19] <xynthpop> from all the reinstalls
[06:19] <SixStringer> oh no...
[06:19] <xynthpop> yeah
[06:19] <arecibo> ok so
[06:19] <xynthpop> i mean
[06:20] <xynthpop> i could try the manual thing
[06:20] <SixStringer> yeah you're creating new partitions...You can wipe them out and start again.
[06:20] <xynthpop> but the guide is confusing enough
[06:20] <arecibo> how do i reset my root password?
[06:20] <xynthpop> how do i tell it to do that?
[06:20] <Flannel> arecibo: You don't want to.
[06:20] <Blaqlight> xynthpop: lol 6 is ok still, one for /var one for /tmp one for /home one for swap...
[06:20] <SixStringer> are you still in the partitioning tool?
[06:20] <arecibo> yeah i do, i locked myself out of my server
[06:20] <arecibo> well, another user changed the root password
[06:20] <bullgard4> 12 sticky notes have vanished. I can see only one, which I have created later. What file could store yet the sticky notes which are no longer displayed on my screen?
[06:20] <xynthpop> no, i'm in vista
[06:20] <Flannel> xynthpop: You just need two, one for / and one for swap.  Many times its better to have a separate (third) for /home.  You dfinately don't need six.
[06:21] <arecibo> :(
[06:21] <Flannel> arecibo: Lock the root account, and reset your user password, both through the recovery console.
[06:21] <xynthpop> yeah that's what it created at first
[06:21] <Ben> hi
[06:21] <xynthpop> but it left parts of the older partitions
[06:21] <arecibo> do i just passwd from recovery?
[06:21] <Flannel> arecibo: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LostPassword
[06:21] <jose> danfuhry http://rafb.net/p/Hs7HH386.html
[06:21] <xynthpop> when i reinstalled
[06:21] <jose> thats the rror
[06:21] <jose> error
[06:21] <arecibo> thanks
[06:21] <Flannel> arecibo: and be sure to lock the root account too.  (passwd -l root)
[06:21] <SixStringer> oh ok...When you boot up and get to the partition area.  All of the partitions you created that are either ext3 or swap you can delete.  Then just let the installer use up the available space on the drive.
[06:22] <vontux> 8.04 can resize ntfs partitions safely correct?
[06:22] <danfuhry> jose: get another computer and log into IRC from there if possible
[06:22] <arecibo> you guys are more help than the slicehost support teamn
[06:22] <arecibo> :(]
[06:22] <arecibo> lol
[06:22] <neoaddict> glitsj16: will be back
[06:22] <glitsj16> neoaddict: http://pastebin.com/m4b254b27
[06:22] <SixStringer> just leave the NTFS partition alone...
[06:22] <xynthpop> wait so i can delete the extra partions in grub?
[06:22] <glitsj16> neoaddict: ok no rush
[06:22] <jose> ok
[06:22] <jose> brb
[06:22] <Blaqlight> ... Im so used to the old freebsd recomendations...
[06:22] <bsusa> hello all
[06:22] <SixStringer> you want to delete the partitions on the install.
[06:23] <guestadmin_> nickrud, ok, its still processing, will post output as soon as it stops
[06:23] <bsusa> i was just wondering does anyone have any experience in installing Ubuntu on PSP?
[06:23] <SixStringer> that's kind of way before the grub bootloader is installed.
[06:23] <vontux> SixStringer: nah, backing up a windows partition but I need to resize it so it will fit on a slightly smaller drive
[06:23] <xynthpop> i cant figure out how to tell it to do that
[06:23] <nickrud> guestadmin_ ok, I'll be in earshot for a while yet
[06:23] <xynthpop> when i go through the install process
[06:23] <vontux> I guess I'm asking, ubuntu 8.04 can interact with ntfs safely from the live-cd?
[06:23] <xynthpop> like i can't use the whole drive, ya dig, cuz it's got this partition on the other side
[06:23] <vontux> or at all I mean
[06:23] <Bogus8> I'm confused here.. I'm running rsync -anI on a dir is a 441g partition mounted using 400g of space (4% free)... the results of that rsync says "total size is 527805686600"  wtf? :/
[06:24] <xynthpop> but if i do "free space" it ends up leaving these tiny partitions
[06:24] <SixStringer> It will tell you.  You should see an option to use existing space on the drive after you have deleted the other partitions.
[06:24] <xynthpop> and each time i reinstall the partition number is higher
[06:24] <SixStringer> right...
[06:24] <SixStringer> That's because you're not deleting the old partitions.
[06:24] <xynthpop> wouldn't it also delete my windows partition though?
[06:25] <xynthpop> in b4 don't need windows
[06:25] <jmk2> how do i add a user to multiple groups?
[06:25] <SixStringer> no it won't.  Just click on the partition you want to delete and click...that's it.
[06:25] <xynthpop> you can't click in the install
[06:25] <neoaddict> glitsj16: genius!
[06:25] <xynthpop> no mouse
[06:25] <glitsj16> neoaddict: better now ?
[06:26] <SixStringer> ok....
[06:26] <Ben> Hello, who knows emesene which is a msn client?
[06:26] <SixStringer> The cd you have is a live cd for ubuntu?
[06:26] <neoaddict> glitsj16: MUCH better
[06:26] <Blaqlight> xynthpop: make sure you want to get rid of them though.
[06:26] <neoaddict> Ben: what do you mean?
[06:26] <xynthpop> i didn't get an option to delete
[06:26] <xynthpop> yeah
[06:26] <jmk2> or via command-line?
[06:26] <Ben> I have installed the eMeSeNe.
[06:26] <neoaddict> glitsj16: so yeah, thanks XD
[06:26] <neoaddict> Ben: yeah, it's pretty awesome
[06:27] <rubanj> Hello all I am faced with a problem when trying to uninstall ubuntu on my wifes PC
[06:27] <jmk2> usermod group1 group2 username ?
[06:27] <Ben> But there are no friends in the list.
[06:27] <glitsj16> neoaddict: nice, the error from the keymap thing still there ? no problem, glad it's fixed
[06:27] <SixStringer> ok xynth..Do you know if the cd you have is a live cd or just an install disc?
[06:27] <neoaddict> Ben: did you login with your usual MSN account?
[06:27] <Blaqlight> rubanj: its easy, delete the partitions.
[06:27] <xynthpop> live i think
[06:27] <Ben> Yes, I can login in Amsn.
[06:27] <Flannel> jmk2: no.  usermod -G group1,group2,group3 -a username
[06:27] <rubanj> from where can I delete the partitions ?
[06:27] <xynthpop> but i never saw an option to boot from disc
[06:27] <jose> danfuhry can you tell me what to do so I can write it down please?
[06:27] <neoaddict> glitsj16: yeah, but it's ok
[06:27] <Blaqlight> rubanj: make sure you set windows to boot or you'll have an unbootable system.
[06:28] <danfuhry> jose: press control-alt-f1
[06:28] <neoaddict> Ben: no, have you tried logging in with your regular MSN on account on emesene?
[06:28] <rubanj> its at the moment single boot only with linux
[06:28] <SixStringer> ok...when you boot up your computer do you need to hit F12 for the boot menu to choose the CD or DVD drive?
[06:28] <glitsj16> neoaddict: avoid the funny letters heh
[06:28] <danfuhry> jose: log in with your normal username and password
[06:28] <foool> hi again re permissions - I am in dir /shop/ I want to change all dirs under - is this okay or? -type d -exec chmod 0755 {} \;
[06:28] <rubanj> i want to clean install windows
[06:28] <Flannel> rubanj: just install windows like normal
[06:28] <danfuhry> jose: cd ~/Desktop
[06:28] <xynthpop> yeah
[06:28] <Ben> when I login emesene,I can't find my name and no friends in it.
[06:28] <danfuhry> jose: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[06:28] <xynthpop> that takes me in to the install
[06:28] <Ben> it's blank!
[06:28] <jose> ok
[06:28] <neoaddict> glitsj16: i was trying out KDE today, so i'll shove the blame to those evil KDE people XD
[06:28] <Blaqlight> rubanj: just install the new os over the top of it, no problem
[06:28] <xynthpop> it will install from disc it just won't boot from disc
[06:28] <Flannel> rubanj: "removing" OSes is simply overwriting them.  There's no real removal steps required.
[06:28] <SixStringer> right...There's an icon on the desktop for the install to run.
[06:28] <danfuhry> jose: sudo sh ./NVIDIA-<version>.run
[06:29] <neoaddict> Ben: any errors on login?
[06:29] <SixStringer> ahh..ok.
[06:29] <neoaddict> Ben: wait
[06:29] <danfuhry> jose: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start
[06:29] <SixStringer> you probably have a problem with that cd..
[06:29] <neoaddict> Ben: i see.
[06:29] <neoaddict> Ben: most of the people on my list are offline too o_O
[06:29] <timothywcrane> " using mpegtolls- Can't find ppmtoy4m, please install it or check -M parameter" I cannot find ppmtoy4m anywhere, in any repository. Plz help
[06:29] <powertool08> danfuhry: you can also do sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[06:29] <Ben> No, I can login in it, but nothing when I enter.
[06:29] <rubanj> I would have thought so .... but when I try to install windows from the CD windows installation tells me that there is no HDD present
[06:29] <glitsj16> neoaddict: heh, a lot of people trying out the new KDE 4.1 indeed ;)
[06:29] <SixStringer> you will probably need to burn another disc and make sure that it's a bootable image.
[06:29] <neoaddict> Ben: MSN outage, possibly?
[06:29] <neoaddict> Ben: nvm XD
[06:29] <jmk2> Flannel: thx
[06:29] <danfuhry> powertool08: not if nvidia requires that X server be stopped while driver is installing ;-)
[06:30] <SixStringer> you might have burned it just as a data disc.
[06:30] <Blaqlight> .. unless its windows which perfers to overwrite the entire drive with 1's and 0's *yawn*
[06:30] <nickrud> !find ppmtoy4m
[06:30] <neoaddict> Ben: how long have you logged in and not seen anybody on your buddy list?
[06:30] <Ben> OK, I'll try again this evening.
[06:30] <neoaddict> Ben: does it work with the Windows Live client?
[06:30] <Flannel> rubanj: You've probably got a SATA harddrive.  Windows XP doesn't know how to deal with SATAs (because its so old), you'll need to get a driver floppy and insert it when it asks you to during the boot.
[06:30] <xynthpop> when i checked the disc integrity it was ok
[06:30] <powertool08> danfuhry: ah, I didn't see why it was being stopped
[06:30] <xynthpop> i checked it
[06:30] <Ben> Thank you, Neoaddict.
[06:30] <SixStringer> integrity doesn't mean it's a boot disc though.
[06:30] <xynthpop> the disc had folders and such
[06:30] <Ben> I'm from China. Where are you from?
[06:30] <nickrud> timothywcrane it's in mjpegtools, try   which ppmtoy4m
[06:30] <xynthpop> not just an iso
[06:31] <neoaddict> Ben: Canada?
[06:31] <rubanj> oh ok
[06:31] <SixStringer> right..I understand..It still might not be a boot disc..
[06:31] <rubanj> thanks guys
[06:31] <Kahn|Wrk> Hi all
[06:31] <xynthpop> that would suck
[06:31] <xynthpop> the one i burned before was corrupt
[06:31] <timothywcrane> been there done that. I have mjpegtools installed, verified, apt update- upgrade- reinstall still not found in locate or in usr/bin where it should be
[06:31] <Ben> I'm Chinese.
[06:31] <SixStringer> what program do you use to create CD's?
[06:31] <xynthpop> InfraRecorder for win
[06:32] <SixStringer> I've never tried that one..
[06:32] <timothywcrane> kdeden is supposed to be good
[06:32] <neoaddict> Ben: ok
[06:32] <timothywcrane> live
[06:32] <timothywcrane> kdedenlive sorry
[06:32] <nickrud> timothywcrane it's on my machine.   sudo apt-get install --reinstall mjpegtools would definitely reinstall the file in /usr/bin
[06:33] <neoaddict> Ben: enjoy your afternoon, but unfortunately, it's getting late here XD
[06:34] <nickrud> SixStringer ifrarecorder, imgburn in windows, gnomebaker and k3b for ubuntu are my usual tools
[06:34] <SixStringer> If you right-click on the iso file, does it give you an option to open it in a cd burning program?
[06:34] <timothywcrane> doing it now. Did it in synaptic earlier, but CLI is usually better
[06:34] <nickrud> SixStringer you can directly burn it from the right click menu in gnome (ubuntu)
[06:34] <Ben> Canada? it must be 18:00 there?
[06:34] <SixStringer> yeah..this is vista though for xynth..
[06:35] <nickrud> SixStringer imgburn
[06:35] <SixStringer> she's probably burnt a cd that's not bootable.
[06:35] <cisco80211> anyone else having midnight ISP failures?
[06:35] <nickrud> imgburn has never failed me burning an iso. And it verifies ;)
[06:35] <xynthpop> it doesn't give me the option to burn
[06:36] <xynthpop> but it does give me open with InfraRecorder
[06:36] <bsusa> i was just wondering does anyone have any experience in installing Ubuntu on PSP?
[06:36] <SixStringer> ok...nickrud put it out there...imgburn
[06:36] <nickrud> guestadmin_ still working?
[06:36] <guestadmin_> nickrud, yep
[06:36] <Blaqlight> imgburn hmmm I wish I would have known that before I spent all that money on nero... for burning iso's
[06:36] <Ben> How can I have a private conversation here? what is the order?
[06:37] <nickrud> Ben   /msg <nick>
[06:37] <SixStringer> nickrud..is that something you run in dos or is it an executable with an install?
[06:37] <timothywcrane> nickrud - did as you sid, still not located
[06:37] <timothywcrane> driving me nuts
[06:37] <timothywcrane> I am on heron if it matters
[06:37] <nickrud> SixStringer Don't remember exactly, and it's on my work machine, not here.
 No such nick/channel
[06:37] <SixStringer> ok..
[06:38] <SixStringer> hang on xynth..
[06:38] <guestadmin_> nickrud, I also noticed that my cursor is back to normal in everything  except its still weird in Firefox so far, wireless Internet disconnected for a split second and reconnected itself
[06:38] <nickrud> timothywcrane that is very odd. Try purging it, deleting it from the cache, and then reinstalling
[06:38] <Blaqlight> Ben: its a good idea to ask first before /msg ing people :D
[06:38] <jose> it gave me another error
[06:38] <nickrud> Blaqlight ben was smart, pm'd the guy that told him how to ;)
[06:39] <Blaqlight> lol nice.
[06:39] <nickrud> guestadmin_ when you're upgrading from one release to another, you'll probably have strangeness until the install is complete and you've rebooted into the new kernel
[06:39] <chipbuddy> !menu
[06:40] <jose> danfuhry
[06:40] <jose> it says that I need the libc
[06:40] <Blaqlight> sorry Ben I miss whats going on in here,
[06:40] <jose> to compile the kernel something like that
[06:40] <jose> and it gave me the same error
[06:40] <chipbuddy> so you know those three menus that are (by default) at the upper left corner of the screen. Applications, Places and System. Is there anyway i can rename those menus, and give them different icons? or am i stuck with those names?
[06:40] <danfuhry> jose: you probably need kernel development files
[06:41] <nickrud> chipbuddy stuck with those names
[06:41] <jose> how can I get those?
[06:41] <jose> =/
[06:41] <danfuhry> apt-get install build-essential linux-headers
[06:41] <chipbuddy> boo!
[06:41] <Blaqlight> Ben: my comment above was a hint to ask first :P
[06:41] <danfuhry> jose: actually, the proper way to do it would be linux-headers-$(uname -r)
[06:42] <jose> ok
[06:42] <nando> Hello yawl.. one think you can help me get my CD drives to mount?
[06:42] <Ben> Thank you. I'll read some guide for IRC.
[06:43] <jose> E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13 Permission denied)
[06:43] <jose> E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root?
[06:43] <Blaqlight> I have a question about fluxbox actually. I want to change my cursor, it gives me an option to set it but I don't know how to use all of the cursors of a given theme (it only gives me the option to use a group versus 1)
[06:43] <jose> danfuhry
[06:43] <Blaqlight> jose: close all other package managers e.g. synaptic ...
[06:44] <danfuhry> jose: you forgot the "sudo" part >_>
[06:44] <jose> >.>
[06:44] <guestadmin_> nickrud, ok, it stopped, here's the paste: http://paste.ubuntu.com/32892/

[06:44] <jose> E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root?
[06:44] <jose> sorry
[06:44] <timothywcrane> well purged mjpegtools, lost kmediafactory in the process, and all libraries assoc. hope I don't wind up in dependency hell for this....lol
[06:45] <revilodraw> when i press the power button i am presented with the options 'shutdown' 'restart' 'hibernate' etc. how do i make it so that when i click on 'hibernate' it runs 'sudo hibernate-ram'??
[06:45] <jose> it says now
[06:45] <jose> You should explicitly select one to install.
[06:45] <jose> E: Package linux-headers has no installation candidate
[06:46] <jose> my bad i forgot again the -$(uname -r)
[06:46] <nickrud> guestadmin_ run sudo apt-get dist-upgrade again, and post the errors from that. They should be short enough that I can see all of them :)
[06:46] <Blaqlight> jose: type 'sudo  apt-get install build-essential linux-headers
[06:46] <jose> done
[06:46] <jose> they are installed
[06:46] <nickrud> sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)
[06:46] <Blaqlight> geez, middle button paste causes an 'enter' after the paste so its never complete.
[06:46] <jose> brb let me go check if I can install the drivers now :)
[06:47] <guestadmin_> nickrud, ok, will do, sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[06:47] <timothywcrane> Can't find ppmtoy4m, please install it or check -M parameter - still - just want to string some jpegs into a vid.
[06:48] <revilodraw> not sure if im still here?
[06:48] <timothywcrane> you still are
[06:48] <revilodraw> lol thanks
[06:48] <nickrud> timothywcrane you're supposed to say, "no, you left"
[06:48] <timothywcrane> lol
[06:49] <timothywcrane> hey nick, coulc you tell me the repository you used for mjpegtools
[06:49] <timothywcrane> nothing I do helps
[06:49] <nickrud> timothywcrane my apt-cache policy mjegtools says  hardy/multiverse
[06:49] <guestadmin_> nickrud, here is the output: http://paste.ubuntu.com/32894/
[06:50] <timothywcrane> thanks standard - same as mine. what gives.
[06:50] <nickrud> guestadmin_ now try   sudo apt-get -f install
[06:51] <guestadmin_> nickrud, ok will do, sudo apt-get -f install
[06:51] <sn9> now, sudo apt-get moo
[06:52] <nickrud> sn9 that hoary old joke?
[06:52] <sn9> why not?
[06:53] <jose__> danfuhry
[06:53] <revilodraw> ﻿when i press the power button i am presented with the options 'shutdown' 'restart' 'hibernate' etc. how do i make it so that when i click on 'hibernate' it runs 'sudo hibernate-ram'??
[06:53] <jose__> installation was completed but I have a problem now
[06:54] <jose__> I restarted and it showed me low resolution and the card was not being detected
[06:54] <sn9> revilodraw: you want "suspend" not "hibernate"
[06:54] <nickrud> sn9 aptitude moo && aptitude moo -v && aptitude moo -vv && aptitude moo -vvv && aptitude moo -vvvv && aptitude moo -vvvvv && aptitude moo -vvvvvv
[06:54] <sn9> nickrud: i prefer apt-get, thank you very much
[06:55] <revilodraw> sn9 - hmm i dont really mind, i just want one of those buttons to run the program 'sudo hibernate-ram'
[06:55] <sn9> is that a script you wrote yourself?
[06:55] <nickrud> sn9 some day I'll be a vegetarian, and apt-get moo is the first bit of beef I'm giving up
[06:55] <godmode117> hi, i need help, when i go to share a file it gives me an error
[06:55] <jose__> danfuhry =/
[06:55] <jshriver> greetings
[06:56] <jose__> im on 800x600 T_T
[06:56]  * Blaqlight quickly types all of that in... uhm is that a joke?
[06:56] <revilodraw> sn9- no i got it from the repositories, and it works beautifully
[06:56] <jshriver> why is vi broke in Ubuntu? when I'm in insert mode it doesnt let me use arrow keys
[06:56] <Flannel> jshriver: install "vim"
[06:56] <nickrud> guestadmin_ is it downloading gnunet and openoffice stuff?
[06:56] <sn9> jshriver: sudo apt-get vim-gnome
[06:57] <Blaqlight> I can't get vim to work past the introduction screen.
[06:57] <sn9> jshriver: sudo apt-get install vim-gnome
[06:57] <Flannel> Blaqlight: do you have the full version?
[06:57] <nickrud> Blaqlight use vimtutor to get started
[06:57] <Blaqlight> Flannel: probably not, how do I tell?
[06:57] <godmode117> does anyone have any advice for me?
[06:57] <jshriver> a gui version?
[06:57] <jshriver> looking for plain CLI as most of my servers are headless and no X
[06:57] <Flannel> jshriver: vim-tiny (which isn't very vim-like) is installed by default, you'll need to install "vim" to get the full package (not vim-full, that installs full vim, plus gnome)
[06:57] <nickrud> godmode117 someday I'll learn to share files too ;)
[06:58] <jshriver> thanks checking
[06:58] <Flannel> Blaqlight: You'll need to install "vim" if you haven't.  The default version is fairly... useless for most people.
[06:58] <danfuhry> ﻿jose__: i gotta hit the sack. just try making sure your kernel headers are installed, then stop gdm and open that nvidia file with sh like i said before. sorry to leave ya hanging, but it's like 2AM here.
[06:58] <guestadmin_> nickrud, yep, just stopped right now, heres the output: http://paste.ubuntu.com/32895/ Also noticed darker background, and the top right corner has the restart required message and also a light bulb for information about updates?.?.?.
[06:58] <chalcedony> jshriver: visit #vim
[06:58]  * De[X]tone back
[06:58] <Blaqlight> hmm prolly not considering its saying that vim-runtime is missing
[06:58] <jshriver> that was it :) thanks, didnt realise there was different versions of vim lol
[06:58]  * chalcedony smiles
[06:58] <jose__> its ok
[06:58] <jose__> np
[06:58] <jose__> thanks for the help
[06:58] <nickrud> guestadmin_ all good. run the dist-upgrade one more time for luck, and reboot.
[07:00] <guestadmin_> nickrud, ok here goes, fingers crossed, sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[07:00] <godmode117> im not having a big problem i just need to know how to "sudo sharefile filename" or something like that
[07:00] <Blaqlight> Flannel: I have, it runs, but it is uhm.. quite useless. to me, Id love to use it because it comes highly recommended.
[07:00] <sn9> godmode117: sharing with windows?
[07:00] <godmode117> no
[07:00] <godmode117> xbmc
[07:00] <Flannel> Blaqlight: ah, you don't know how to use vim? alright, run "vimtutor" and it'll get you up to speed.
[07:00] <timothywcrane> there isnt even a mention of ppmtoy4m in synaptic search on Hardy. This is nuts.
[07:01] <Blaqlight> gotta wait for an hour... 56k connection :(
[07:01] <revilodraw> does anyone know how to change the commands of the 'hibernate' button?
[07:01] <nickrud> timothywcrane I think synaptic only searches package titles by default, you have to tell it to search descriptions
[07:01] <Flannel> timothywcrane: its in the package "mjpegtools"
[07:01] <Flannel> timothywcrane: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?searchon=contents&keywords=ppmtoy4m&mode=exactfilename&suite=hardy&arch=any
[07:01] <timothywcrane> i have added a few friends repos and did another upgrade, byt mgpegtools was not in the list.
[07:01] <itai-michaelson> godmode117, you mean the media center?
[07:01] <timothywcrane> just a mispelling on the chat sorry
[07:01] <Flannel> timothywcrane: mjpegtools is in hardy, un multiverse.
[07:02] <sn9> revilodraw: i believe it's part of the hal-info pkg
[07:02] <Flannel> timothywcrane: http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/mjpegtools
[07:02] <timothywcrane> I have it installed
[07:02] <nickrud> Flannel you should check your scrollback, timothywcrane has a seemingly weird situation with that executable
[07:02] <timothywcrane> but I still get the error to install ppmtoy4m
[07:03] <Flannel> timothywcrane: sudo apt-get remove --purge mjpegtools
[07:03] <moreau> sorry if this is the wrong channel, but all the smart people are here..  Q: what are the meanings of 'private' and 'public' ports, when forwarding ports in my router
[07:03] <Flannel> timothywcrane: oh, you've been here already.
[07:03] <godmode117> yes ,<itai-michaelson>
[07:03] <revilodraw> sn9; is that a file i can edit?
[07:03] <timothywcrane> hey at least my friends repos are giving me some Alien Arena mods I didn't have. lol
[07:04] <Flannel> timothywcrane: Well, it's definately in there.  Are you sure you purged it?
[07:04] <sn9> moreau: private == local, public == remote
[07:04] <itai-michaelson> godmode117, are you following this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=458675 ?
[07:04] <svh> how do i get alien on a shell
[07:04] <Flannel> timothywcrane: Try purging, then cleaning your cache (sudo apt-get clean) then reinstall (to force the download again)
[07:04] <timothywcrane> you can get it, but not play it.
[07:04] <hexpuem> i have a laptop with a broadcom wireless nic built in. the problem is the nic boots in an "off" state and i need to manually turn it on and redo the iwconfig. for some reason it used to boot in "ON" mode. any ideas?
[07:04] <godmode117> no, i have xbmc installed on my xbox

[07:05] <sn9> hexpuem: some laptops have an "rfkill" switch managed through acpi
[07:05] <moreau> so settin the priv port as '5002' and the public as '845' means they can only connect to me if their outoing signal comes from port 845 and lands at my 5002 port?
[07:05] <godmode117> but when i go to "properties>share>share this folder" i get an error
[07:06] <hexpuem> od: the interface is up even though its off for whatever reason
[07:06] <godmode117> it says i dont have permission

[07:07] <hexpuem> actually i think the problem started when i disabled the power saving stuff for my video card
[07:07] <godmode117> no its on another hardrive
[07:07] <glitsj16> ranjeeta: have you tried quoting the question mark ? like \?
[07:07] <sn9> svh: alien is usually trouble; avoid it if possible
[07:07] <hexpuem> fglrx would lock up in logout because of its power saving daemon
[07:07] <hexpuem> so i killed it
[07:07] <moreau> ah, the public #is just a mask that displays the port as 845, but is really 5002

[07:09] <hexpuem> od: the nic is on now (after pushing the physical button that turns it on) the problem is it boots in an off state and the auto network config fails
[07:09] <sn9> revilodraw: read the file, and you will see what you can change
[07:10] <hexpuem> would adding the iwconfig txpower on to a pre-up script fix it?
[07:10] <ManualOverDozer8> ﻿﻿hexpuem  you can configure it to be on
[07:10] <hexpuem> ok thanks
[07:10] <ManualOverDozer8> ok
[07:11] <ManualOverDozer8> ﻿﻿hexpuem  but you still may have issues is acpi is still trying to control it
[07:11] <itai-michaelson> godmode117, you need to set the permission for that drive again, maybe they are set to read-only or something , you need to have them mounted as belonging to your user
[07:11] <godmode117> ok
[07:12] <godmode117> thanks for the info
[07:12] <godmode117> do i need to unmount it then mount again?

[07:20] <acrousey> Hi all!  I am planning on turning an old computer (Compaq Presario 2157SR, was running windowsME) into a server using Ubuntu server. However, I found out that larger HDD's may not work as internal hard drives. How well would an external hard drive work with the "server"?
[07:20] <revilodraw> when my laptop wakes up from hibernate, my wireless connection is lost until i go into 'network' and click on wireless, then click on it again, sort of 'touching' the wlan0 interface, is there anyway to make my hibernate wake-up script 'touch' the wlan0 interface automatically??
[07:20] <itai-michaelson> timothywcrane, i use a different intonation so its okay....
[07:20] <itai-michaelson> :-)
[07:20] <untraceable> i just need some one to kinda translate into lamens terms for me

[07:22] <acrousey> sn9: really? I heard that it may not function because it may not be compatible with the motherboard
[07:22] <xavieran> Hello
[07:22] <discombobulated> anyone can help?
[07:22] <LSD|Ninja> acrousey: Linux can bypass the BIOS and get around that
[07:23] <Flannel> discombobulated: You accidentally what?
[07:23] <sn9> pist0l-fish: 9000 does not need the proprietary drivers
[07:23] <pist0l-fish> sn9: what should I do?
[07:23] <discombobulated> yes, was camming and accidentally a whooole pc. is fix?
[07:23] <sn9> pist0l-fish: and "cannot connect" is because you used "su" or "sudo -i"
[07:23] <Ithilin> I kind of figured it out on my own, without doing that lol. :P As soon as I joined someone said "link" so I was like wow I can just create a sym link.

[07:23] <Ithilin> So It works perfect now
[07:24] <acrousey> sn9, LSDninja: besides the HDD is SATA and the connector is IDE
[07:24] <pist0l-fish> sn9: i tried sudo without -i
[07:24] <sn9> pist0l-fish: it should "just work" out-of-the-box

[07:26] <acrousey> i already ordered the hard drive though... could i just get an adapter?
[07:26] <xavieran> debCarlos: Check the logs from 2 weeks ago?
[07:27] <debCarlos> xavieran: Where?
[07:27] <xavieran> Wait a sec...
[07:27] <kushalsejwal> Flannel, its working :)

[07:27] <azhar27> Hi I need help with the repositories
[07:27] <acrousey> PCI type of card?
[07:28] <itai-michaelson> azhar27, what do you need?
[07:28] <xavieran> debCarlos: http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/
[07:28] <azhar27> I accidently deleted them
[07:28] <azhar27> i mean removed them
[07:28] <azhar27> now apt-get install does not work
[07:28] <Flannel> azhar27: Go to Software Sources, and you can regenerate them
[07:28] <itai-michaelson> you run hardy?
[07:28] <azhar27> yup 8.04
[07:28] <xavieran> Yes
[07:28] <azhar27> I tried that too
[07:29] <debCarlos> xavieran: thanks, i'll check
[07:29] <Bogus8> acrousey: an addon card... pci pci-x
[07:29] <kushalsejwal> !help
[07:29] <azhar27> third party sources are blank
[07:29] <Bogus8> acrousey: there isn't just some "gender changer" to put on the end of the cable
[07:29] <Flannel> azhar27: Right.  If you had any, you'll have to re-add them
[07:29] <Blaqlight> if I got an answer to my question about x and xcursor I didn't get it.
[07:29] <sn9> Bogus8: yes there is; it's $30
[07:30] <acrousey> bogus8: actually, i think i saw a "gender adapter"
[07:30] <linxUz3r> lovely
[07:30] <acrousey> would that work?
[07:30] <azhar27> Flannel : Sorry, i don't get it
[07:30] <Bogus8> sn9: and you are better off with an addon card for the same price ;)
[07:30] <itai-michaelson> azhar27, i think this is the default lits: http://de.pastebin.ca/868272
[07:30] <sn9> Bogus8: add-on cards cost $10
[07:30] <oudidiou> Salut à tous !
[07:30] <Bogus8> sn9: it's not as simple as a "regular" gender changer
[07:30] <azhar27> Itai : do u want me to add it as a repository
[07:30] <acrousey> so, an add on card would actually be cheaper?
[07:30] <Flannel> azhar27: third party software is where you add stuff, nothing is there by default.  If you've deleted third party software stuff, you'll have to remember what you add, and readd them.
[07:31] <Bogus8> sn9: where are you buying your gear at?
[07:31] <dglkn> I'm having some issues with slow file transfers with NFS and Samba on a wireless LAN

[07:31] <acrousey> bogus8: you can find it at newegg
[07:31] <itai-michaelson> azhar27, you put that list in /etc/apt/sources.list
[07:31] <sn9> Bogus8: anywhere -- check google product search

[07:31] <azhar27> @flannel : sorry for being noob, how do i re add them by cd rom or adding it from a mirror
[07:32] <sn9> Bogus8: newegg shipping is $$
[07:32] <Flannel> azhar27: What are you trying to add? (it depends on what you're adding)
[07:32] <kindofabuzz> azhar27, sudo apt-cdrom add
[07:32] <Bogus8> sn9: it cost something.. usually 5-6 bucks for cheap items

[07:32] <sn9> otherwise, fry's or such
[07:32] <FuriousGeorge> i have 4 identical computers that need to be set up almost identically except for hostname, etc.  i was thinking of using dd, but wont that hose udev rules, like the ones that associate my eth0 with my nic's mac?
[07:32] <xavieran> Rolls 2 6-sided dice: 1 6
[07:32] <linxUz3r> this is bad

[07:34] <sn9> kindofabuzz: what kind of card?
[07:35] <kindofabuzz> sn9, broadcom, everything was fine until i installed wicd and tried to use wpa
[07:35] <mark__> ok, i`ll try that link flannel...
[07:35] <vox> WIGGMPk: your question was cut off. what did you say after "the DVD drive does not seem to..."
[07:35] <Flannel> mark__: That link wasn't for you.
[07:35] <debCarlos> How can i find some nick in all the server?
[07:35] <sn9> kindofabuzz: wicd is to be avoided except for acx cards

[07:36] <vox> WIGGMPk: how does it not appear to be available?
[07:36] <debCarlos> I mean, is there a command to search in the server for a nick?
[07:36] <oudidiou> I've got a error when I try to launch pythons programs : http://pastebin.com/m517b2273
[07:36] <WIGGMPk> vox: i cant think of the command off the top of my head but.. it lists like every device.. and its not listed
[07:36] <FuriousGeorge> sn9: rsync will also duplicate udev rules that could break networking, among other things i may have not considered yet
[07:36] <lstarnes> debCarlos: /who *nick*
[07:36] <azhar27> Flannel : when i try to add this -deb-src http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy universe
[07:36] <kindofabuzz> how can i just reinstall NM with no internet?  i tried adding the cdrom
[07:37] <debCarlos> lstarnes: ok
[07:37] <sn9> FuriousGeorge: just try it first
[07:37] <vox> WIGGMPk: cd/dvd-roms will only show up when there's something in them. put a dvd movie in, and then type "mount" and you'll see it
[07:37] <ManualOverDozer8> ﻿kindofabuzz in SPM Network-Manager, but i believe you may have to remove Wicd first
[07:37] <Flannel> azhar27: to third party?
[07:37] <glitsj16> Blaqlight: installing a cursor theme ? i personally never mess with xcursor, drop the new theme /usr/share/icons and to get X11 support, i change /usr/share/icons/default/index.theme to point to the new theme (Inherits=<theme dir name>)
[07:37] <gb__> i'm back :)
[07:37] <azhar27> yup
[07:37] <Flannel> azhar27: that's not a third party repo, you can add that by checking the checkboxes
[07:38] <kindofabuzz> ManualOverDozer8, yeah i know to remove it, what are you talking about SPM NM?
[07:38] <azhar27> Flannel : there are no checkboxes, i accidently removed the,.
[07:38] <Flannel> mark__: Is your CD drive internal? was it connected hen you installed?
[07:38] <gb__> hey Flannel
[07:38] <gb__> hey bderrly
[07:38] <mark__> the dvd drive works for dvds, but i have 8gb of data i want to access, word files etc, that works on my XP laptop but not in ubuntu.
[07:38] <Flannel> azhar27: On the first tab, there's the official software.
[07:38] <sn9> kindofabuzz: if you uninstalled it, sudo apt-get --install-recommends install ubuntu-desktop
[07:38] <debCarlos> Ok, i didn't find the nickname, anyone here used that nickname?
[07:38] <mark__> internal
[07:38] <FuriousGeorge> sn9: i have and thats been a problem, which makes me wonder what else is a problem, which makes me wonder if i should do it in a production enviornment
[07:38] <Flannel> mark__: so, the dual layer doesn't seem to work?
[07:38] <WIGGMPk> vox: how would it show up?
[07:38] <ManualOverDozer8> ﻿kindofabuzz Synaptic Package Manager has Newtwrok-Manager in it
[07:38] <kindofabuzz> sn9, huh? that will install NM without internet?
[07:39] <hexpuem> looks like "iwconfig wlan0 txpower on" doesnt work for my NIC
[07:39] <vox> WIGGMPk: something like "/dev/sdc0 /media/somethingsomething"
[07:39] <mark__> dont think so as disney cars works

[07:39] <hexpuem> i tried setting it to auto and fixed etc
[07:39] <kindofabuzz> no internet for the 3rd time =)
[07:39] <ManualOverDozer8> oh yes
[07:39] <azhar27> Flannel : i have checked all the checkboxes on the first tab
[07:39] <WIGGMPk> vox: not there
[07:39] <ManualOverDozer8> kinfofbuzz if you didnt remove the packages complete, then they should be still there
[07:39] <sn9> kindofabuzz: use wired ethernet until wifi works again
[07:39] <azhar27> restriced, multiverse , main and universe
[07:39] <Flannel> azhar27: then you have deb-src for universe, or should.
[07:39] <hexpuem> dmesg -> The hardware RF-kill button still turns the radio physically off. Press the button to turn it on.
[07:39] <kindofabuzz> sn9, not an option

[07:40] <Spike^ekipS> #django-sprint
[07:40] <vox> WIGGMPk: hmm
[07:40] <azhar27> But sudo apt-get install amarok does not work
[07:40] <azhar27> i just tried this
[07:40] <kindofabuzz> there's got to be some way to just say hey, pull of the cd
[07:40] <kindofabuzz> off*
[07:40] <ManualOverDozer8> kindofbuzz then you may have to hool it up LAN like sn9 suggested
[07:40] <azhar27> it says package amarok has no installation candicate
[07:41] <kindofabuzz> so no option to just apt-get off the cd?
[07:41] <debCarlos> I need to find who's now superfirelord42... anyone here knows how to do it?
[07:41] <ManualOverDozer8> modprobe ath_pci rfkill=0 ???
[07:41] <sn9> kindofabuzz: for the alternate cd, yes; for the desktop cd, not really
[07:41] <Flannel> azhar27: That wouldn't be source debs, that'd be binaries.  Alright, close out of that menu, and pastebin /etc/apt/sources.list
[07:41] <esac> i am using OOO and while editing a document, it is randomly hanging for a second or 2. anybody seen this and know how to fix it ?
[07:41] <kindofabuzz> sn9, ok i have an alternate, apt-cdrom add the alternate?
[07:41] <ManualOverDozer8> sn9 : i am not sure how that works, i have LiveCD and it has it on that , so i cant really say for his issue
[07:41] <sn9> kindofabuzz: that would work, yes
[07:41] <WIGGMPk> vox: i really need that DVD drive to work.. lol
[07:41] <kindofabuzz> ok lemme go try all that
[07:41] <Blaqlight> glitsj16: omg Im sorry I wasn't around thanks to highlight I got your messege :D
[07:42] <WIGGMPk> vox: the problem with my situation is that i dont have the alternative to use onboard sata.... =(
[07:42] <kindofabuzz> but really, why is wicd causing me to connect but can't ping or surf? gotta be something simple
[07:42] <ManualOverDozer8> sn9 : is that the checkbox in choosing repositories, where you can select CD-ROM ?
[07:42] <glitsj16> Blaqlight: very handy indeed, i forgot to add .. and restart X after doing all that .. but i guess you figured that out by yourself :p
[07:42] <sn9> ManualOverDozer8: just put it in
[07:43] <azhar27> Flannel : I don't get it
[07:43] <Flannel> debCarlos: please ask in #ubuntu-offtopic

[07:43] <azhar27> where should i paste /etc/apt/sources
[07:43] <sn9> WIGGMPk: what chipset?
[07:43] <Flannel> !paste | azhar27
[07:43] <dglkn> I'm getting really slow network file transfers with my wireless LAN. Distance from the router is not the problem. I've got my devices set to 36Mb/sec, and the transfers are only about 7Mb/sec
[07:43] <ManualOverDozer8> ﻿kindofabuzz you have IP ??? hmm
[07:43] <WIGGMPk> sn9: what chipset is the SATA PCI Card?
[07:43] <debCarlos> Flannel: Ok
[07:43] <sn9> WIGGMPk: you said motherboard sata
[07:44] <sn9> dglkn: which wifi is it?
[07:44] <azhar27> Flannel : Ok
[07:44] <dglkn> linksys
[07:44] <dglkn> wrt54gs
[07:44] <WIGGMPk> sn9: i said i dont have the alternative of using onboard sata.. because i dont have any
[07:44] <sn9> dglkn: not the router, the wifi adapter in your computer
[07:45] <sn9> WIGGMPk: oh, never mind
[07:45] <azhar27> Flannel : http://paste.ubuntu.com/32905/
[07:45] <dglkn> sn9: ok, the one in my laptop is bcm43xx, and the one in my desktop is rt61pci
[07:45] <Flannel> azhar27: no, no.  Pastebin the contents of /etc/apt/sources.list
[07:46] <azhar27> Flannel : ok
[07:46] <sn9> dglkn: and which one is slow?
[07:46] <linxUz3r> sup
[07:46] <sn9> !hi | linxUz3r
[07:46] <dglkn> sn9: i'm not sure
[07:46] <Flannel> linxUz3r: this is not a social channel, if you're looking to chat, please go to #ubuntu-offtopic, thanks.
[07:47] <sn9> dglkn: first of all, for rt61pci, you have to do "sudo iwconfig wlan0 rate 54M" to get full speed
[07:47] <linxUz3r> ok
[07:47] <dglkn> sn9: that actually made it slower
[07:47] <dglkn> sn9: for some reason, 36M seems to be optimal
[07:47] <sn9> dglkn: for the broadcom, you have to upgrade to the "b43" driver instead of "bcm43xx"
[07:48] <azhar27> Flannel : http://paste.ubuntu.com/32907/
[07:48] <Blaqlight> glitsj16: is it easier just to put the cursors where the old link points too (/etc/alternatives/x-cursor-theme) or leave the cursors where they are /usr/share/icons and put a link to that theme where the lnk currently exists...
[07:48] <dglkn> sn9: i just used the restricted drivers for the bcm43
[07:48] <Flannel> azhar27: You pasted the contents of the directory /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ I need the contents of the file /etc/apt/sources.list.  Type this: nano /etc/apt/sources.list
[07:48] <ManualOverDozer8> dglkn : maybe this page can help a little > http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/bcm43xx-fwcutter
[07:49] <sn9> dglkn: http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/b43-fwcutter
[07:49] <glitsj16> Blaclight: i never touch anything besides changing that index.theme file to point to the new cursor theme under /usr/share/icons .. can' t tell sorry
[07:49] <dglkn> sn9: i already have that installed
[07:49] <azhar27> @flannel : I did
[07:50] <sn9> dglkn: which? bcm, or b43?
[07:50] <Flannel> azhar27: So, lines 7 and 8 of what you posted are the entirety of the file /etc/apt/sources.list?
[07:50] <Flannel> azhar27: what's in the two files in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ then?
[07:50] <azhar27> deb http://ftp.iitm.ac.in/ubuntu/ hardy universe
[07:51] <dglkn> sn9: when i look at the connection information, the driver says b43
[07:51] <sn9> dglkn: ok, good
[07:51] <Flannel> azhar27: ok.  Lets do this.  `sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/* && sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list` then in that nano editor, paste this:
[07:52] <sn9> dglkn: it's probably a limitation of your specific revision of the wrt54gs, then
[07:52] <azhar27> Flannel : ok
[07:52] <sn9> dglkn: wikipedia has a nice reference on them
[07:53] <ManualOverDozer8> ﻿dglkn : sudo lspci        then     sudo lshw -C network    then      modinfo ?YOURMODULE?
[07:53] <hse-hoens> how do i check if there's a specific version of a package available?
[07:53] <dglkn> sn9: well, what's odd is that it will transfer files at about 7Mb, and I can still download files from the internet at 6Mb(which is my connection maximum)
[07:53] <dglkn> which adds up to about 13Mb
[07:53] <sn9> hse-hoens: apt-cache policy pkgname
[07:53] <Flannel> azhar27: http://paste.ubuntu.com/32909/
[07:53] <hse-hoens> what's policy sn9?
[07:54] <sn9> hse-hoens: the answer to your question
[07:54] <ManualOverDozer8> ﻿kindofabuzz got back to connected-state with NM
[07:54] <hse-hoens> i see
[07:54] <hse-hoens> apparently the intrepid release has the package i need, but the hardy release doesn't. can i d/l the intrepid package somehow?
[07:54] <Bogus8> acrousey: google sata cards
[07:55] <sn9> hse-hoens: you could request a backport
[07:55] <Flannel> !prevu | hse-hoens
[07:55] <acrousey> bogus8: ok
[07:55] <hse-hoens> sweet
[07:55] <hse-hoens> intrepid isn't stable yet right?
[07:55] <Flannel> hse-hoens: If its a core-ish package, prevu won't turn out too well.
[07:55] <Flannel> hse-hoens: No, its alpha.
[07:55] <Kahn|Wrk> right hse-hoens
[07:55] <Shish_> hey, my audio doesnt work when i play any youtube video
[07:55] <Shish_> every other audio works
[07:55] <sn9> hse-hoens: right now, the intrepid kernel doesn't even compile
[07:55] <Shish_> any ideas?
[07:56] <hse-hoens> hehe
[07:56] <sn9> Shish_: remove the libflashsupport pkg
[07:56] <Shish_> sn9: ummm... how?
[07:57] <azhar27> Flannel : i did
[07:57] <azhar27> still nothing
[07:57] <sn9> Shish_: System->Admin->Synaptic Pkg Mgr
[07:57] <Flannel> azhar27: after you're done, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-ge install amarok
[07:57] <Shish_> ahh ok
[07:58] <Scorp__> hey, how do i setup my USB audio system on a laptop ?? I;ve connected it and its being detected as USB Audio, but not really working. What could be the reason ???
[07:58] <azhar27> Flannel : it is updating
[07:58] <ManualOverDozer8> sn9: just removing that lib fixes it ? > ref ﻿libflashsupport pkg
[07:58] <azhar27> but i am getting lot of hits and igns
[07:58] <Shish_> sn9: its not installed
[07:59] <Flannel> azhar27: If you've got questions, pastebin the output
[07:59] <azhar27> ok
[07:59] <azhar27> Flannel : After it updates, i will pastebin the output
[07:59] <sn9> Shish_: hmm...
[07:59] <ManualOverDozer8> i dont know how i got over the flash issue to be honest, but most all streams are working. i think something to do wtih mediubuntu, but not sure
[07:59] <acrousey> bogus8: what would sata II cards be?
[08:00] <c0_co0lllLLL> help me 4 use ubuntu
[08:00] <Shish_> sn9: this just happened.. like earlier today everything was fine
[08:00] <Bogus8> google
[08:00] <sn9> acrousey: more expensive
[08:00] <Scorp__> hey, how do i setup my USB audio system on a laptop ?? I;ve connected it and its being detected as USB Audio, but not really working. What could be the reason ???
[08:01] <sn9> Scorp__: programs generally use only one sound output device at a time
[08:02] <ManualOverDozer8> sn8l maybe you could answer this: if a module is black-listed, but still installed, being black-listed just prevents it from loading at boot ? even if the files and configs are still there
[08:02] <ManualOverDozer8> sn9
[08:03] <sn9> ManualOverDozer8: blacklisting makes modprobe ignore it when told to look at the blacklist, such as by udev
[08:04] <c0_co0lllLLL> alow
[08:04] <vnrvjiet_> can anyone tell me why linux kernal is designed on c?
[08:04] <ManualOverDozer8> sn9: thank you
[08:04] <Flannel> vnrvjiet_: Ask in #ubuntu-offtopic
[08:05] <HappyHater> dumb question
[08:05] <napsy> I think linus even tried c++ for kernel design
[08:05] <glitsj16> c0_co0lllLLL: hi, what is your question ?
[08:06] <sn9> !id | c0_co0lllLLL
[08:06] <maxhrk> i like compiz's burn and beam effect. mhmm
[08:07] <ManualOverDozer8> maxhrkL my low-end machine has issues with running eyecandy, i am currently running GnomeOpenBox which really works nice for me.
[08:07] <maxhrk> nice
[08:07] <random_life> any way to check if localhost is blocked
[08:07] <maxhrk> for?
[08:07] <ManualOverDozer8> ping localhost
[08:08] <random_life> I tried ssh -D 4324 me@my.host and tried to ssh tunnel through it with firefox, but, it refuses the connection
[08:08] <ManualOverDozer8> random_life in Network Tools there is tools that may assist you in determining that
[08:08] <sn9> random_life: do you have openssh-server installed?
[08:09] <random_life> sn9: I've done it previously
[08:09] <random_life> and I have that package, yes
[08:10] <kindofabuzz> ok back on my 'random_life, can you even ping the host you want?
[08:10] <kindofabuzz> lol
[08:10] <kindofabuzz> what da hell?
[08:10] <sn9> random_life: sudo invoke-rc.d ssh restart
[08:11] <ManualOverDozer8> sn9: have you heard of ipv6 causing issues in network on ubuntu ? i dont seem to have that issue, or it hasnt shown its ugly face. should i be concerned ? and/or remove it ?
[08:11] <Blaqlight> man gotta love tilda, I can run irssi and htop on my desktop without any of the bars and or titlebars and stuff.
[08:11] <sn9> ManualOverDozer8: i know of slowness caused by that
[08:12] <sn9> Blaqlight: too bad it's broken in hardy
[08:12] <ManualOverDozer8> sn9 : is that more in response than actual throughput ?
[08:12] <sn9> ManualOverDozer8: right
[08:12] <ManualOverDozer8> sn9: ok that helps. thank you
[08:13] <Blaqlight> I see that :(
[08:13] <Blaqlight> it still kinda works though
[08:13] <random_life> sn9: hmm, that didnt seem to fix it :(
[08:13] <sn9> Blaqlight: i use it
[08:13] <Blaqlight> sn9 I like it because you can hide titlebars, and hide it from the taskbar, and keep it like pinned to the desktop.
[08:14] <eclectro> ﻿/msg ubottu etiquette
[08:14] <ManualOverDozer8> linux TCP proto have any extra layers compared to MS's use of TCP proto ?
[08:14] <Blaqlight> sn9: Ive prolly got the busiest desktop in this room now though lol
[08:15] <eclectro> how do I remove the "restricted driver" icon from the notification area? And why is it not easy to do this?
[08:15] <Circus-Killer> ManualOverDozer8, afaik, tcp will always have the same number of layers
[08:16] <Finnish> Is there a virtualbox-ose-modules-generic-package for my kernel, it ends .20? I can't find one
[08:16] <ManualOverDozer8> thats what i figured i dont see why it would be, but then i wasnt sure
[08:16] <ManualOverDozer8> going to #networking maybe get a few tippers on Ubuntu
[08:17] <Blaqlight> sn9: aside from CTRL ALT 1 to get to the status screen instead of ALT 1 its the same as gnome terminal.
[08:18] <sn9> Finnish: give it a day or two
[08:18] <Blaqlight> sn9: this is irssi. btw :D
[08:18] <Finnish> sn9: Ok
[08:19] <sn9> ...and, we're in august!
[08:19] <DexTerDDIT> hey guys a have a question ,  i install ubuntu server (8.04) and the network don`t work , any ideeas ?
[08:19] <DexTerDDIT> :D
[08:19] <sn9> DexTerDDIT: ethernet, or wifi?
[08:21] <DexTerDDIT> ethernet
[08:21] <DexTerDDIT> on-board
[08:22] <sn9> DexTerDDIT: what kind of board?
[08:22] <DexTerDDIT> intel
[08:23] <DexTerDDIT> sn9 it`s a HP vectra box
[08:24] <iustinus> Can someone help me; I switched monitors on my system and now I can't get proper screen resolutions.
[08:25] <iustinus> The monitor is capable of 1600x1400 res, but Ubuntu is only allowing options of 640
[08:25] <debCarlos> iustinus: Try editing your xorg.conf file
[08:26] <iustinus> debCarlos: I don't know which line(s) to edit.
[08:27] <iustinus> quit
[08:28] <sn9> DexTerDDIT: did it use to work?
[08:28] <br00k5> best mp3 player available =?
[08:28] <rick_> Hi, I'm having trouble installing an ati radeon 9250, If I put it in the PCI slot and boot Ubuntu 7.10 the splash screen freezes, Can anyone please let me know a few things I might try? I'm new to Ubuntu so please keep that in mind. Thanks in advance.
[08:29] <sn9> br00k5: whatever you like most
[08:29] <^hellfire^> cze
[08:29] <sn9> rick_: pci? so, this is a second video card?
[08:29] <rick_> yes i have an integrated intel as well

[08:32] <azhar27> Flannel : My sources.list file, please check if this is ok. http://paste.ubuntu.com/32916/
[08:32] <Flannel> azhar27: You said it was empty?
[08:32] <azhar27> it was not empty
[08:33] <Flannel> azhar27: Then what did you pastebin when I asked you to pastebin your sources.list?
[08:33] <azhar27> i manually went to that sources folder
[08:33] <azhar27> and pasted the names of the 2 files. :(
[08:34] <azhar27> Flannel : the sources.list is fine right
[08:34] <maxhrk> i like compiz+emerald. mhmm nice thing.
[08:34] <rick_> Is there any way of choosing / setting up a graphics diplay driver before boot in ubuntu 7.10?
[08:34] <Flannel> azhar27: yeah.  In the future please try and pay closer attention.  After you had done that, I asked you to confirm that that's what was in your sources.list, and you did.  miscommunications like these can ruin a system
[08:35] <azhar27> yup sorry, i didn't even know how to open the sources.list file
[08:35] <sn9> rick_: yes, but having two different kinds makes it more complicated. does even one of them work when they are both in?
[08:35] <azhar27> Flannel : but still i can't install amarok
[08:36] <azhar27> Flannel : what do u think is the problem
[08:36] <itai-michaelson> azhar27, what happens when you try to install it?
[08:36] <rick_> the ati card works up untill the splash screen, the intel doesnt at all, so i guess the answer would be no.
[08:36] <Flannel> azhar27: alright, pastebin the output of this: sudo apt-get update && apt-cache policy amarok
[08:37] <ckebabo> anyone knows how can use backspace key in xubuntu Terminal with screen?
[08:37] <azhar27> Flannel : I am getting lot of 404 errors while installing, it says some files were not downloaded
[08:37] <sn9> rick_: you may need to tweak a couple of bios settings
[08:37] <rick_> with the ati card in right?
[08:37] <sn9> azhar27: what version of ubuntu?
[08:38] <sn9> rick_: yes
[08:38] <rick_> k
[08:38] <Begasus> hello, I just installed ubuntu on a pc but can't seem to get the resolution to go higher then 800x600 - nvidia restricted driver enabled)

[08:38] <kaushal> how can i uninstall apache and its dependency
[08:38] <kaushal> in ubuntu
[08:38] <sn9> Begasus: you may need to use nvidia-settings to change the video timings
[08:39] <kaushal> I did apt-get remove apache2
[08:39] <Begasus> is there any howto sn9 ?
[08:39] <my_haz> Flannel: what does that do?
[08:39] <kaushal> but still I have apache2-mpm-worker,apache2-utils and apache2.2-common
[08:40] <Begasus> installing nvidia-settings atm through apt-get
[08:40] <azhar27> Flannel : Do you think i am getting 404 errors because of my internet connection.
[08:40] <Flannel> azhar27: I think you should pastebin the output, and we'll take a look.
[08:40] <Flannel> my_haz: man chmod explains it better than I can.
[08:40] <azhar27> Flannel : ok sure.
[08:40] <my_haz> Flannel: ahh yes i see it here in the man page
[08:41] <Begasus> hmm .. nvidia-setttings tells me I'm not using the nvidia X driver??
[08:41] <kaushal> Flannel, hi
[08:41] <sn9> Begasus: that would explain it
[08:41] <Flannel> Howdy kaushal
[08:41] <Balian> people ! wath i need to burn iso on CD witch iso from flopy disc??
[08:42] <DexTerDDIT> sry sn9 it work fine with debian
[08:42] <Flannel> Balian: You want to burn a CD with the contents of a floppy?
[08:42] <azhar27> Flannel : http://paste.ubuntu.com/32905/  ...this is the o/p i am getting
[08:42] <DexTerDDIT> but with ubuntu it`s dead i think
[08:42] <itai-michaelson> kaushal, did you try apt-get remove --purge apache2?
[08:42] <kaushal> How can i uninstall apache2 and all its associated packages in Ubuntu Server
[08:42] <kaushal> ok
[08:42] <Flannel> kaushal: which version of Ubuntu?
[08:42] <sn9> DexTerDDIT: i don't know; i've never seen intel ethernet fail to work in ubuntu
[08:42] <kaushal> 8.04
[08:42] <CorpseFeeder> is there any way to get a SD memory card in a laptop to work when it does not work "out of the box"?
[08:42] <Flannel> azhar27: output of sudo apt-get update && apt-cache policy amarok
[08:43] <DexTerDDIT> hmm....
[08:43] <sn9> CorpseFeeder: yes
[08:43] <Balian> i teak grub iso from flopy disc and i wanth burn iso no CD
[08:43] <DexTerDDIT> sn9 what should i try ?
[08:43] <Balian> Flannel i teak grub iso from flopy disc and i wanth burn iso no CD
[08:43] <sn9> DexTerDDIT: debian again?
[08:44] <Flannel> kaushal: remove apache2, apache2.2-common apache2.2-mpm-worker apache2-utils and maybe libapr1 and libaprutil1
[08:44] <CorpseFeeder> sn9, ok.. how would I go about making that happen?
[08:44] <DexTerDDIT> sn9 10x
[08:44] <Flannel> kaushal: the last two are dependant of whether you have something else that uses apr (which, you'll see when it says "are you sure you want to remove this? it'll also remove [useful programs]"
[08:44] <kaushal> so i have to specify each and every package
[08:45] <Flannel> kaushal: "each and every" consists of four or so.  There are automated ways
[08:45] <azhar27> Flannel : http://paste.ubuntu.com/32919/
[08:46] <Flannel> azhar27: looks like your problem is that mirror (http://ftp.iitm.ac.in) isn't up
[08:46] <Flannel> azhar27: change mirrors, and you should be fine.
[08:46] <MenZa>  /w 20
[08:46] <azhar27> Flannel : Thanks. I will do it now.

[09:03] <Dark_Shadow> GTK support not compiled in ettercap
[09:03] <Dark_Shadow> how to ddo?
[09:04] <X3> guestadmin you have  a amd platform?
[09:04] <guestadmin> no, intel celeron
[09:04] <cWe_sMa_bae> anjink
[09:04] <Begasus> f*ck .. seems that the legacy driver isn't working for nvidia :/
[09:04] <cWe_sMa_bae> goblog you
[09:05] <Dark_Shadow> euuh
[09:05] <Dark_Shadow> help me please
[09:06] <blankthemuffin> Is there a way to access the alternate installer from the normal install disk, I presumed the problems with the GeForce 6800 would be fixed by now but not to be.
[09:06] <Uplink> whats the command to copy and paste a dir?
[09:07] <ramontayag> hi everyone. i followed these instructions (http://railshacks.blogspot.com/2008/08/installing-latest-gvim-and-vim-in.html) to install the latest version of gvim.. and now i have 2 packages  (vim-gnome and vim-tiny) that are broken. how do i ignore them?
[09:07] <milinda> cp -r <SRC> <DEST>
[09:07] <blankthemuffin> cp is copy. in the terminal.
[09:07] <sn9> !bug #31440 | CorpseFeeder
[09:07] <barduck> Hello, can anyone please recommened a cheap 3D graphics card that will work well with Ubuntu and has good driver support? Something to run simple/old 3D games with reasonable framerates ?
[09:07] <milinda> you have to use -r to copy direcotries
[09:08] <ManualOverDozer8> ﻿blankthemuffin i believe there may be, i used something called EdgyNG to install my nvidia driver
[09:08] <ManualOverDozer8> ﻿blankthemuffin let me get likc for u
[09:08] <milinda> hi barduck NVIDIA Geforce FX 5200 will be a better card for your requirements
[09:08] <ramontayag> barduck, geforce mx 440 ran okay with ubuntu
[09:09] <ramontayag> that's even better
[09:09] <milinda> hmm mx 440 is cheaper than fx 5200
[09:09] <milinda> :)
[09:09] <milinda> but fx 5200 has more features
[09:09] <Uplink> cp and thats it?
[09:09] <barduck> milinda: and something mroe recenet? I'd say up to $60...I am not sure I can find the older ones in the stores here
[09:09] <blankthemuffin> You guys are suggesting cards which will probably be worth a bundle more since they are antiques. I'd be putting forward the option of a GeForce 6600 but it really depends where you're sourcing it from I suppose.
[09:09] <ManualOverDozer8> ﻿blankthemuffin      www.albertomilone.com/nvidia_scripts1.html
[09:10] <sn9> barduck: 6200?
[09:10] <adamw9678> Hay. dose any1 know how to get the touch screen working on a Fujitus siemens B-2131? I am using xubuntu but I'm not get a responce from them and it can't be much diffrent to ubuntu to set up can it?
[09:10] <ManualOverDozer8> ﻿blankthemuffin i also have a pastebin
[09:10] <Balian> i need help with maskarada
[09:10] <guestadmin> If anyone knows how to fix a feisty > gutsy upgrade, I can't boot into the normal 2.6.22 kernel, I must hit escape at grub and then choose 2.6.20
[09:10] <sn9> adamw9678: is that a Stylistic model?
[09:10] <CorpseFeeder> sn9, does that link mean there is no fix for this?
[09:10] <ramontayag> i recently got the 8600gt and it works great, but i had to install the driver from nvidia.
[09:10] <sn9> CorpseFeeder: pretty much
[09:11] <ManualOverDozer8> ﻿blankthemuffin  http://paste.ubuntu.com/32429/
[09:11] <barduck> Is there anywhere a lsit of recommneded graphics for ubuntu ?
[09:11] <adamw9678> Its a B series lifebook
[09:11] <ramontayag> barduck yes i believe there's a list of hardware that has been tested with ubuntu
[09:11] <barduck> Someone suggested the nVidia 8400GS, its cheap but I dont know how well it works.
[09:11] <blankthemuffin> Yeah it's not that I can't install the drivers, I install the binary drivers from nvidia manually. But the problem is the live CD crashes due to trying to load the nv driver.
[09:11] <MenZa> Fairly decent card, barduck
[09:11] <ramontayag> barduck: i doubt that the new cards will be listed there though.
[09:11] <sn9> adamw9678: i will check. i know the Stylistic models use the "fpit" driver
[09:12] <adamw9678> Thank mate
[09:12] <Dark_Shadow> allora???????
[09:12] <blankthemuffin> I suppose I'll just download the alternate cd.
[09:12] <sn9> blankthemuffin: safe graphics mode
[09:12] <Dark_Shadow> i tried to start ettercap
[09:12] <drugo> hello
[09:12] <Dark_Shadow> but it says  GTK support not compiled in ettercap
[09:12] <blankthemuffin> sn9, fails.
[09:13] <Dark_Shadow> what to do brothers
[09:13] <blankthemuffin> I need to manually set the driver to vesa or it crashes.
[09:13] <Lvl21nerd> is there a safe and easy way to make a partition new partition separate from the ubuntu install??
[09:13] <barduck> is this the list to look at: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsVideoCardsNvidia ?
[09:13] <X3> can any one here give me a hand troubleshooting this nic card?
[09:13] <CorpseFeeder> sn9, that link appears to be for a PCMCIA card reader - isn't that different to an SD card reader?
[09:14] <blankthemuffin> barduck, pretty much every graphics card will work fine with ubuntu.
[09:14] <sn9> Lvl21nerd: if it's on the same disk, you need to boot from something else
[09:14] <leslie> hi
[09:14] <drugo> why network menager asks to authenticate with the wi-fi pass everytime i start up ?is there a way to avoid this?
[09:14] <blankthemuffin> barduck, every nvidia one anyway, just don't get a GeForce 6800, they are a pain in the ass.
[09:14] <ManualOverDozer8> drugo: yes
[09:15] <sn9> CorpseFeeder: not necessarily
[09:15] <barduck> blankthemuffin: yaeh well, I have a SiS onboard one here and it doesn't do 3D on Ubuntu although it does on windows
[09:15] <barduck> this is why I want to check to make sure
[09:15] <sn9> barduck: which SiS?
[09:15] <iustinus> blankthemuffin: I have a GeForce 6800, and it was working fine until I switched monitors, because the new Xorg release doesn't allow video questions on dpkg-reconfigure.
[09:15] <ManualOverDozer8> iwconfig wlan0 key "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"
[09:15] <barduck> Sis 661fx
[09:15] <drugo> ManualOverDozer8 hello, how?
[09:15] <blankthemuffin> iustinus, it's probably related to the GS version only then, which have you got?
[09:15] <sn9> barduck: yes, 661 has no 3d driver in linux (yet)
[09:15] <Lvl21nerd> sn9: ok i have ubuntu on a 160gb drive single partition....i have heard that i can make a partition on it (want to use this partition as a test partition for other distros)
[09:15] <iustinus> blankthemuffin: GX
[09:15] <drugo> is this permanent?
[09:16] <ManualOverDozer8> ﻿drugo let me get the permanent fix for you
[09:16] <sn9> Lvl21nerd: boot from the livecd
[09:16] <barduck> ok, so the 8400GS is reasonably prices and seems to be supported. I will check that one out
[09:16] <blankthemuffin> iustinus, the nv driver causes crashes on mine, so I need to use vesa until I can install the real binary drivers.
[09:16] <Lvl21nerd> sn9: then what?....
[09:16] <iustinus> blankthemuffin: I can't get any good resolutions on this monitor
[09:16] <lalaki> yaaaaaaaaaaa
[09:16] <sn9> Lvl21nerd: GParted Partition Editor
[09:17] <drugo> k i will try
[09:17] <iustinus> And xserver-xorg is being stupid. I've no idea how to manually configure xorg.conf, and I can't dpkg-reconfigure it.
[09:17] <ManualOverDozer8> drugo : is it WEP or WPA ?
[09:17] <drugo> wpa
[09:17] <iustinus> Does anyone know a solution to this problem?
[09:17] <vido> hi all
[09:17] <X3> drugo is there a checkbox that you can see that say autoconnect or auto accept
[09:17] <blankthemuffin> iustinus, there is a nvidia application which does it automagically.
[09:17] <Lvl21nerd> sn9: using GParted wont damage info or data contained on the rest of the drive?
[09:17] <blankthemuffin> iustinus, nvidia-xconfig
[09:17] <iustinus> blankthemuffin: I can't get it to work. Which drive should be installed? Restricted hardware.
[09:17] <sn9> Lvl21nerd: unless you lose power
[09:17] <iustinus> drive = driver.
[09:18] <X3> Lv1 Gparted is nasty
[09:18] <Balian> i need help with maskarada HELP
[09:18] <ManualOverDozer8> drugo : in your interfaces file you can add this > wireless-essid wlan0
[09:18] <ManualOverDozer8> wireless-key XXXXXX
[09:18] <sn9> drugo: which wifi driver?
[09:18] <ManualOverDozer8> oops two lines it should be one
[09:18] <X3> it will kill otherd data
[09:18] <blankthemuffin> iustinus, oh ok, I'm not sure with that, I personally use the binary drivers straight from the nvidia website, but EnvyNG is probably your best bet.
[09:18] <drugo> bcm-43xxx
[09:18] <ManualOverDozer8> wlan0 can be ath0 is you run atheros chipset
[09:19] <blankthemuffin> iustinus, http://www.albertomilone.com/nvidia_scripts1.html
[09:19] <iustinus> blankthemuffin: ah, should I just DL the binary drivers from NVIDIA then?
[09:19] <mark_> can anyone help. my two sata dvdrw drives wont MOUNT any media, other than prerecorded films. i need to be able to load 8gb of my old files.
[09:19] <sn9> drugo: in 8.04, b43 replaces bcm43xx, and WPA should work
[09:20] <drugo> yes it works but nm-applet asks to authenticate at every start up
[09:20] <whoppix> hey people! I'm trying to restore a damaged ubuntu dapper (6.06 LTS server) system from a livecd, and im trying to (re)-install libc6 (which, apparently was uninstalled). I cannot chroot into the system, so i thought i could use dpkg with the --root or --instdir option, to install something in the mounted system. Would that work, and correctly update the systems packet database?
[09:20] <blankthemuffin> iustinus, I do, but generally its not recommended because you have to know your way around a command line pretty well, EnvyNG is probably a much better option.
[09:20] <ManualOverDozer8> drugo : in root > gedit /etc/network/interfaces   then add > ﻿﻿wireless-key XXXXXX
[09:20] <mark_> can anyone help. my two sata dvdrw drives wont MOUNT any media, other than prerecorded films. i need to be able to load 8gb of my old files.
[09:21] <ramontayag> i followed these instructions (http://railshacks.blogspot.com/2008/08/installing-latest-gvim-and-vim-in.html) to install the latest version of gvim.. and now i have 2 packages  (vim-gnome and vim-tiny) that are broken because they aren't the packages available in ubuntu's repos. how do i ignore them?
[09:21] <whoppix> i suppose i would need to specify --admindir as well?
[09:21] <ManualOverDozer8> drugo : NM should do it as well , if it doesnt you can edit the interfaces file
[09:21] <blankthemuffin> X3, what, GParted is one of the best partitioning applications around. You only loose files if you wipe your partitions, which any partitioner will do.
[09:21] <drugo> no essid, only the key?
[09:22] <ld> hi, how can I manage the services from the command line?
[09:22] <X3> ok then
[09:22] <ManualOverDozer8> drugo : its optional but only if you never change the SSID
[09:22] <qmemo> Hi all, on the download server I have two options of ISO's (ubuntu-8.04.1-desktop-i386.iso & ubuntu-8.04.1-alternate-i386.iso)
[09:22] <ld> (like I can do with "services-admin")
[09:22] <qmemo> which one should I get?!
[09:22] <drugo> i have only these two lines in the file at the moment : auto lo
[09:22] <drugo> iface lo inet loopback
[09:22] <blankthemuffin> qmemo, Unless you want to install via a text interface, get the desktop version. The alternate is text only.
[09:22] <drugo> to i have to specify the interface?
[09:23] <X3> blanklmuffin if you say so the theres no nedd for me later saying I told you so
[09:23] <guestadmin> My problem: After upgrade from feisty to Gutsy, system wont boot to the normal 2.6.22, must manually select 2.6.20
[09:23] <drugo> *do
[09:23] <ManualOverDozer8> drugo : > ifconfig -a
[09:23] <max____> is there anyway to download from terminal directly to the directoy i'm currently in
[09:23] <max____> http download?
[09:23] <qmemo> can I add anthoer wm while I am using the text installer?
[09:23] <drugo> wireless is wlan'
[09:23] <mark_> any takers on my "two optical drives not mounting self-burned media" problem?
[09:23] <drugo> wireless is wlan0
[09:23] <barduck> ohhh shoot....the 8400gs is only PCIe and I need AGP, back to the drawing board....
[09:23] <ManualOverDozer8> drugo : look to see whether its wlan0 or ath0 or even something else. eth0 is usually LAN
[09:23] <blankthemuffin> another wm qmemo ???
[09:24] <qmemo> FluxBox
[09:24] <blankthemuffin> barduck, GeForce 6600
[09:24] <drugo> wireless is wlan0
[09:24] <ManualOverDozer8> ifconfig - a   should show you
[09:24] <qmemo> is Gnome the default WM of Ubuntu
[09:24] <ManualOverDozer8> then that is what you use
[09:24] <iustinus> qmemo: It's the default Desktop Environment
[09:24] <barduck> blankthemuffin: I will check if I can find one here, I guess it will be pretty rare by now
[09:24] <drugo> so what is the code for the essid?
[09:25] <blankthemuffin> Yeah probably barduck, but they were the "sweet spot" for mid-range cards for a long while so there should be a few around.
[09:25] <wers> how do I reformat a thumb drive?
[09:25] <qmemo> Gnome is the default I know, I just thought to ask if I can install FluxBox while installing from the text version cd
[09:25] <ManualOverDozer8> wireless-essid
[09:25] <blankthemuffin> X3, I regularly use GParted to partition my many drives on many systems, unless you totally wipe a partition with data on it you're not going to loose any data. And it warns you before you do anything remotly dangerous. In any case data loss is the fault of the user not the program
[09:25] <barduck> thanks !
[09:25] <iustinus> qmemo: No, Ubuntu doesn't have custom installation options
[09:25] <ManualOverDozer8> hold on i have to stop this dumb vlc laggin the heck out of me
[09:25] <Ayabara> I'm removing kde from my system, and I get this error: dpkg-divert: error checking `/usr/share/apps/d3lphin/servicemenus/media_safelyremove.desktop': No such file or directory
[09:25] <iustinus> If you want a custom install best to use the server installation and then install other apps.
[09:26] <sn9> adamw9678: still there?
[09:26] <Ayabara> when trying to remove kio-umountwrapper
[09:26] <HappyHater> !fluxbuntu
[09:26] <qmemo> o.k. thx guys
[09:26] <iustinus> And there's fluxbuntu.
[09:26] <iustinus> :-P
[09:26] <drugo> k i am trying
[09:26] <qmemo> HappyHater, check the bugs page
[09:26] <adamw9678> yep still here
[09:26] <mark_> I am having trouble getting my two internal dvdrw drives to work in ubuntu. I am totally new to ubuntu. can anyone help.
[09:26] <hyprv> i require help with my partitioning and managing two hard disks. i don't know if my current setup is even using my second hdd. i would like linux to use the two hdds as one, or show both of them in my file browser.
[09:26] <HappyHater> why & what for?
[09:27] <qmemo> its buggy
[09:27] <manfish> hi there
[09:27] <qmemo> I even submetted a bug there
[09:27] <io_> hi everybody
[09:27] <qmemo> wait I 'll get you a link
[09:27] <adamw9678> sn9: have you found somthing?
[09:27] <HappyHater> haven't tried it personally, just know it uses fluxbox
[09:27] <sn9> adamw9678: evtouch, not fpit, for you. sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-input-evtouch
[09:28] <cih997> hi, im looking for IM which can import Gadu-Gadu history from original IM?
[09:28] <sn9> adamw9678: you will need some manual configuration
[09:28] <salutis> hi everybody. I have question - it's possible perform installation of package with apt-get or aptitude _without_ starting of service? for example - install 'ssh' package, but _only_ install, no start daemon
[09:28] <whoppix> ok, to put it another way.. why does "chroot chroot/" to chroot into the mounted system not work? It says that it can't find /bin/bash - but its definitely there. I also tried chroot chroot/ /bin/sh, which is definitely there too - still no success.
[09:28] <adamw9678> Thanks I'll give that a go
[09:29] <sn9> salutis: not easily
[09:29] <mark_> I am having trouble getting my two internal dvdrw drives to work in ubuntu. I am totally new to ubuntu. can anyone help.
[09:29] <sn9> whoppix: permissions!
[09:29] <salutis> sn9: not easily? it means not possible?
[09:30] <iustinus> blankthemuffin: After installing the envyng driver and running nvidia-xconfig, I still have shite screen resolutions. =/
[09:30] <whoppix> sn9, needs to be executable? let me check.
[09:30] <SkinnYPup> what is the rmdir switch to remove regardless if directory is empty ?
[09:30] <HappyHater> iustinus, run gksudo displayconfig-gtk and setup your monitor
[09:30] <whoppix> sn9, i can simply write: /mnt/chroot/bin/bash - and i will get a new bash
[09:30] <whoppix> so it should be executable & readable
[09:30] <Quentusrex> I'm trying to rip a dvd with mythbuntu. But MythDVD and libdvdcss 1.2.9 are failing. Is there any hope?
[09:31] <sn9> SkinnYPup: there is none, but you can rm -r
[09:31] <ManualOverDozer8> why are FireFox and VLC such memory hogs ?
[09:31] <SkinnYPup> rm OH thanks !
[09:32] <iustinus> HappyHater: My monitor isn't listed.
[09:32] <sn9> Quentusrex: there was a libdvdcss2 bug that got fixed. search the forums for it
[09:32] <ManualOverDozer8> FireFox comsumes 10 times more memory than IE in MS. is there a reason for this ?
[09:32] <HappyHater> pick something similar then
[09:32] <Photosynthesis> chsh -s zsh
[09:33] <sn9> whoppix: 777?
[09:33] <hyprv> i require help with my partitioning and managing two hard disks. i don't know if my current setup is even using my second hdd. i would like linux to use the two hdds as one, or show both of them in my file browser.
[09:33] <qmemo> HappyHater, https://bugs.launchpad.net/fluxbuntu-project/+bug/253466
[09:33] <whoppix> sn9, i copied the bash binary to bash2, put chmod 777 on it, and tried to run "chroot chroot/ /bin/bash2" - still says "file not found"
[09:33] <Photosynthesis> hyprv: use LVM
[09:33] <ManualOverDozer8> ﻿hyprv you can use Partition Editor for that
[09:34] <sn9> whoppix: try sash
[09:34] <hyprv> is it fairly straight forward?
[09:34] <Photosynthesis> LVM is not trival and good chance of blowing up your data, fore  warning, BACKUP
[09:34] <ManualOverDozer8> ﻿hyprv System/Administration/Partion Editor  oh yes
[09:34] <whoppix> sn9, sash? whats that? i don't habe a program named like that.
[09:34] <X3> I need help troubleshootin my nic card PLAESE
[09:34] <ManualOverDozer8> pret﻿hyprv relatively easy to run
[09:34] <Flannel> hyprv: setting up with LVM is fairly easy, yes.
[09:34] <sn9> whoppix: stand-alone shell. install it
[09:35] <hyprv> i do not have partition editor under that menu
[09:35] <whoppix> sn9, ah, ok. Thats, ill try that.
[09:35] <iustinus> eixt
[09:35] <Photosynthesis> maybe there is a nice GUI for LVM now.... like mentioned by our fellowmen
[09:35] <iustinus> exit
[09:35] <hyprv> do i need to install it through aptitude?
[09:35] <LupoBluAlfa> haloooo
[09:35] <Photosynthesis> ya
[09:35] <Photosynthesis> yooooo
[09:35] <adamw9678> sn9: ok that worked now how do I configuer it please mate?
[09:35] <hyprv> sweet
[09:35] <whoppix> sn9, however - when i can't use /bin/bash and /bin/sh anyway, i will propably not be able to use dpkg and such either, so there would be no point in chrooting
[09:36] <drugo> hello
[09:36] <sn9> adamw9678: you will need to edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[09:36] <qmemo> HappyHater, did you read it?
[09:36] <sn9> whoppix: oh, right...
[09:36] <ManualOverDozer8> drugo: did you get that worked out ?
[09:36] <drugo> no it didn't
[09:36] <hyprv> i'm pretty new to linux.. what does one DO here, besites figure out how every detail works?
[09:36] <sn9> whoppix: however, you could install it into the outside system
[09:36] <HappyHater> nuh uh, doing other tings atm
[09:36] <adamw9678> sn9: All in the terminal? sorry I'v only just started using the terminal
[09:37] <ManualOverDozer8> drugoL is it that it doesnt keep the settings rather than not working at all ?
[09:37] <drugo> i get the same error like "application nm-applet (/usr/bin/nm-applet) wants to enter the defauld keyring but this is blocked '
[09:37] <debCarlos> Hey, in theory, if i make a ram partition from hal91 (Floppy dist) , copy all filesystem to it and chroot it. I'll be able to remove the Floppy and continue using hal91?
[09:37] <root> 000
[09:37] <drugo> *default
[09:37] <whoppix> sn9, and, apparently the dpkg on the rescue system (debian) is dysfunctional, it barfs about not finding subprocesses (post-removal scripts, etc) - so i can't install anything into the system using the rescue-systems dpkg either
[09:37] <sn9> adamw9678: it will actually be easier in the Terminal, yes
[09:37] <ManualOverDozer8> drugo : interfaces entry > wireless-essid "YOURSSID"
[09:38] <sn9> adamw9678: sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[09:38] <ManualOverDozer8> drugo: let me check the leases file for info regaurding last lease
[09:38] <whoppix> sn9, i will try to install the package by hand, putting the files in the appropriate directories myself, or so.
[09:38] <ManualOverDozer8> drugo: nope, only ip type info
[09:38] <adamw9678> sn9: ok im in there
[09:39] <Photosynthesis> drugo: reboot, at grub menu select kernel and hit 'e' then add  init=/bin/bash   and you will boot in as root no password and you can then edit some files to gain control again, which files they are yo u will have yo yahooooo or goooogle
[09:39] <sn9> whoppix: i think chroot isn't working because the rescue system is hosed
[09:39] <hyprv> ManualOverDozer8:  what is the name of that partition tool? lvm appears to be only command line
[09:39] <sn9> hyprv: gparted
[09:39] <whoppix> sn9, hm, how to unpack .debs again? something with mkio?
[09:39] <hyprv> thx
[09:39] <whoppix> cpio?
[09:39] <Flannel> drugo: Choose the recovery console, you don't need to edit anything.
[09:39] <ManualOverDozer8> ﻿hyprv Partiton Editor or you can use gpart

[09:40] <whoppix> sn9, thanks a bunch.
[09:40] <Flannel> drugo: But, you don't need to do that, because you don't have a problem that reuires that.
[09:41] <whoppix> sn9, i extracted the libc into the target ubuntu system, now ill try to reboot it - fingers crossed. I guess if that doesn't work, i need to re-install.
[09:42] <hyprv> thx for help
[09:42] <hyprv> cheers
[09:42] <frankg> error using cpan on ubuntu-804 -- help --> http://pastebin.com/m5ca63775
[09:42] <adamw9678> sn9: What do I do now? sorry to be a pain
[09:43]  * frankg is hungry :(
[09:43] <sn9> adamw9678: details at http://www.akos.uklinux.net/biblo-linux/
[09:44] <Lycus> Just wanted to thank blankthemuffin & HappyHater for helping me (iustinus), finally got the computer's resolution working as it should.
[09:44]  * salutis waiting for answer :(
[09:44] <Lycus> salutis: What was your Q?
[09:44] <salutis> ﻿Lycus: if ﻿it's possible perform installation of package with apt-get or aptitude _without_ starting of service. for example - install 'ssh' package, but _only_ install, not start daemon. how to do this?
[09:46] <debCarlos> Anyone here was nicknamed superfirelord42 two weeks ago?
[09:47] <Lycus> salutis: Not that I know of
[09:48] <max____> is there anyway to get ps to show me how much ram each process is using?
[09:48] <Begasus> sn9, http://linux.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/Ubuntu/2008-06/msg03035.html this helped me out
[09:48] <Lycus> salutis: You can just do && /etc/init.d/blah stop with the install
[09:50] <whoppix> max____, because of linux' concept of "shared libraries" it is not possible to determine the exact memory usage of a process.
[09:50] <max____> what about top?
[09:50] <adamw9678> Thanks
[09:50] <salutis> Lycus: yes, I know. problem is that list of packages is generated. second thing is that I don't want to start services. it's for script which do modifications of live-usb system
[09:51] <whoppix> max____, the values top shows are, as far as i know, only roundabout values, that include the shared libraries. So if you would count together all the values top tells you, you would get more MB that you actually have
[09:51] <sn9> adamw9678: you may also need to add "evdev" to /etc/modules
[09:51] <adamw9678> What do I do after I typed the details into nano? do I just close it?
[09:51] <sn9> adamw9678: ctrl-X
[09:52] <adamw9678> Then anser yes and then I can close
[09:52] <sn9> adamw9678: you can close when you see the $ prompt again
[09:52] <chuxxsss> Hi all
[09:53] <whoppix> max____, here: http://virtualthreads.blogspot.com/2006/02/understanding-memory-usage-on-linux.html
[09:53] <drugo> no way , nm-applet always asks to authenticate at the start-up
[09:53] <sn9> !hi | chuxxsss
[09:54] <drugo> i have to put my root password and not the wireless key
[09:54] <chuxxsss> does anyone no how to set access to the network tool as I have lost access to it now, but had it before
[09:54] <ManualOverDozer8> drugo : by "ask for authenticate" do you mean to get into the settings ? and not that the connection is void ?
[09:54] <adamw9678> I said yes and it says  file Name to Write: /etc/x11/xorg.conf  what do I do?
[09:54] <sn9> adamw9678: enter
[09:55] <ManualOverDozer8> drugo : you will find youself being asked for root pass quite often on system settings
[09:55] <drugo> no , once i put my login pass the connections starts and everithing is fine
[09:55] <ManualOverDozer8> drugo : should work if you edited your interfaces file correctly but then there is always that "glitch" on some systems
[09:55] <MenZa> we'r/w 20
[09:55] <inflex> How can I stop Ubuntu/Gnome/WM from capturing F10 as the file-menu select?
[09:56] <adamw9678> Then it says  [  Error writing /etc/x11/xorg.conf: No such file or directory ]  ???
[09:56] <chuxxsss> yes the settings
[09:56] <ManualOverDozer8> drugo : things like that only cause more problems if you mess with them too much , if not cut funtionality complete
[09:56] <sn9> adamw9678: maybe you originally typed x11 instead of X11
[09:56] <ManualOverDozer8> drugo : if it only takes a few clicks to connect, i would be satisfied with that
[09:57] <adamw9678> I think I did :(
[09:57] <sn9> adamw9678: close and start again
[09:58] <adamw9678> sn9: from the instal?l
[09:58] <sn9> adamw9678: i thought you already had the system installed
[09:58] <sn9> adamw9678: i mean "sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf" again
[09:59] <adamw9678> Ok sorry

[10:31] <X3> I see that ubuntu is not ready for many machines cause it is failing to read the card
[10:31] <R1cochet> ive seen eth0
[10:31] <ActionParsnip> ok so whats the output of ifconfig eth0
[10:31] <X3> noit hardware issue here
[10:31] <ActionParsnip> !paste | R1cochet
[10:31] <aestrivex> can anyone tell me if the error message is related to 64-bit architecture compatibility problems?
[10:31] <X3> works fine in windows
[10:31] <ActionParsnip> R1cochet: put the output in there

[10:31] <aestrivex> the 32-bit code reference scares me a bit
[10:31] <R1cochet> im using windows atm
[10:32] <R1cochet> ok will do

[10:32] <blankthemuffin> You're pulling a big troll by the looks X3, but in case you're not. It's not Ubuntu, it's you not having drivers for your card, it's the same as in windows, you need drivers before it will work.
[10:32] <aestrivex> yes, ive looked at the appDB
[10:32] <aestrivex> i cant find any reason that it doesnt work
[10:32] <ActionParsnip> aestrivex: whats the score
[10:32] <X3> but you said that its not ubuntu issue
[10:32] <ManualOverDozer8> i will hold further comments on that X3 , its not rude, but not the subject of this channel
[10:32] <aestrivex> @ActionParsnip: it varies from gold to silver to platinum
[10:32] <X3> in windows it worrks fine
[10:33] <ActionParsnip> aestrivex: ok cool

[10:34] <aestrivex> ActionParsnip: thats my thread lol
[10:34] <ActionParsnip> aestrivex: have you got a successful install
[10:34] <ActionParsnip> sn9: try ndiswrapper ;)
[10:35] <sn9> X3: good idea -- try ndiswrapper
[10:35] <ManualOverDozer8> good suggestion
[10:35]  * ActionParsnip bows
[10:35] <aestrivex> ActionParsnip: i think so; my install was a little bit odd because it didnt let me open the CD drive, but i copied the CDs to disk and the install appeared to work fine
[10:35] <ActionParsnip> aestrivex: ok cool
[10:35] <ManualOverDozer8> afterall that is the same driver as the "working good in windows" one
[10:36] <ActionParsnip> aestrivex: did you get te native dlls
[10:36] <ActionParsnip> *the
[10:36] <ActionParsnip> aestrivex: apparently winehq says it needs some windows files
[10:37] <aestrivex> ActionParsnip: yes, i tried that. i'm not sure i did that completely correctly, but even with sound disabled it doesnt work
[10:37] <pobbel> DiViN3: Do the intel based wifi chipsets still usually require ndiswrapper or is ubuntu able to support them as is i.e. linux drivers?
[10:37] <aestrivex> ActionParsnip: those DLLs are only for getting the sound working
[10:37] <sn9> DiViN3: no, very few chipsets need ndiswrapper anymore
[10:37] <sn9> pobbel: no, very few chipsets need ndiswrapper anymore
[10:38] <sn9> pobbel: are you wanting to replace an existing MiniPCI?
[10:38] <ActionParsnip> aestrivex: oic, ok
[10:38] <DiViN3> sn9 : intel based chipset dsnt need any source for drivers or anything
[10:39] <ActionParsnip> aestrivex: theres no loki installer either :(
[10:39] <pobbel> sn9: thats good, I am still having issues with my current linksys based card, it is easier to get another card given tha amount of time I have tried sorting it out.
[10:39] <DiViN3> u can simply get connected  even when u tap wireless connection
[10:39] <sn9> pobbel: LNE100TX?

[10:40] <X3> sn9 ndiswrapper?
[10:40] <ActionParsnip> aestrivex: then all i'll be doing is websearching as you do man, sorry
[10:40] <sn9> X3: it's usually for wifi, but supports ethernet, too
[10:40] <X3> is that available on synaptic?

[10:48] <sn9> ActionParsnip: intelligent? maybe a chipmaker that cooperates with the community, then?

[11:00] <ul-> hey all
[11:01] <sothe> Ok, another thing about the trash...   how do i empty it?
[11:01] <Photosynthesis> right click trash can applet
[11:01] <ramontayag> sn9: sn9 - will that reinstall vim-gnome from the ubuntu repo?
[11:01] <sn9> ramontayag: or wherever

[11:02] <clusty> sn9, funny man :D
[11:02] <ramontayag> sn9: the thing is, it seems i can only install the latest version of vim-gnome (yes, that's actually what i wanted to install) if i do it manually, NOT thru the ubuntu repo.  but when i do it manually, the broken packages thing appears.
[11:02] <clusty> been googleing my eyes out
[11:02] <ActionParsnip> !grub | ul-
[11:03] <Photosynthesis> u must have installed ubuntu THAN xp... bad... XP first then install ubuntu

[11:03] <ul-> i have xp installed already
[11:03] <sn9> ramontayag: sudo apt-get update
[11:03] <ActionParsnip> Photosynthesis: id just install Xbuntu and stop there ;)
[11:03] <ul-> i installed ubuntu afterwards
[11:03] <ramontayag> sn9, it's still not the latest.
[11:03] <sothe> How to empty the trash-can?
[11:03] <ul-> i recall the order of operation so i was confuzzled :\
[11:04] <ActionParsnip> sothe: jump into the trash folder
[11:04] <sothe> yeah
[11:04] <ActionParsnip> sothe: if you are SURE you want it gone
[11:04] <sn9> ul-: are they on separate drives?
[11:04] <ul-> yeah
[11:04] <ActionParsnip> sothe: rm -rf ./*
[11:04] <sn9> ul-: bios, then
[11:04] <ul-> yeah, you're right :\
[11:04] <ramontayag> sn9, to get the latest i have to do this: http://railshacks.blogspot.com/2008/08/installing-latest-gvim-and-vim-in.html
[11:04] <ActionParsnip> sothe: make absolutely sure you are in the trash folder
[11:04] <sothe> oh, i have to do it that way... ok
[11:04] <redrebel> is there a way to optimize firefox such that has a lower memory footprint?
[11:04] <ActionParsnip> use pwd
[11:05] <ramontayag> but that's not my problem.. i want to ignore broken packages. how do i do that? i want to keep those packages installed though.
[11:05] <ActionParsnip> sothe: rm -rf is a VERY agressive remove so use it wisely
[11:05] <Flannel> ActionParsnip: better would just be /home/user/.local/share/Trash/*
[11:05] <sothe> yeah, i'll do.   or i'll try ^^
[11:05] <Photosynthesis> ul: ya then you installed the GRUB boot loader on the second disk .. so reboot and set your BIOS to boot second disk
[11:05] <sn9> ramontayag: don't use broken packages
[11:05] <ul-> this all makes sense :)
[11:05] <ActionParsnip> sothe: -r == recursive, f == force
[11:06] <ActionParsnip> Flannel: you can replace /home/user with ~/
[11:06] <ul-> however can i install grub on first disk and point it at ubuntu on my second disk?
[11:06] <sothe> ok, thanx for the help. it worked :D
[11:06] <ul-> on the*
[11:06] <Flannel> ActionParsnip: not necessarily.  which is why its better to be explicit.
[11:06] <Rampou> see you
[11:06] <Rampou> ++
[11:06] <ramontayag> okay.. i'll be in a bit of a rut then. the version of gvim that i need is later than what is available in ubuntu repositories. how do i install the latest gvim and not have broken packages? is it possible?
[11:06] <ActionParsnip> sothe: dont go using that command too much you may delete something you need
[11:06] <Photosynthesis> ya u have to look at one up.... reinstall grub ( google it )
[11:06] <ul-> coolio
[11:06] <ul-> :D
[11:07] <ActionParsnip> sothe: its like deltree in windows
[11:07] <sn9> !prevu | ramontayag
[11:07] <ul-> will try it
[11:07] <Flannel> ActionParsnip: when dealing with recursive and force, better to type a little more than have it backfire
[11:07] <ul-> thanks
[11:07] <ActionParsnip> Flannel: i always cd to the directory rather than typing paths, then use pwd to check

[11:13] <sn9> pobbel: i would recommend a ralink RT2800 in the long term, but that won't work out-of-the-box yet
[11:14] <pobbel> sn9: they seem fairly common, is WAP the norm or still better to stick with WEP for now, I have read there were issues with WAP but not sure what the progress is
[11:14] <ActionParsnip> rmorgan: if all 4 are installed ok then the only common thing we havent changed over is the router (?)

[11:20] <ActionParsnip> !fschk | juris
[11:20] <Vasily> I'm on ubuntu 8.04 (hardy)
[11:20] <soundray> sn9: it's a headless machine, don't want to install any software on it.
[11:20] <trey> Okay, im in Xfce
[11:20] <ActionParsnip> !fsck | juris
[11:21] <trey> working on customizing it
[11:21] <ActionParsnip> trey: wtg1
[11:21] <soundray> I tried 'echo test | sudo tee /dev/tty0', but that doesn't get it out of idle state
[11:21] <sn9> soundray: if it's headless, what do you care what its screen looks like?
[11:21] <juris> thanks :)
[11:21] <soundray> sn9: I don't
[11:21] <trey> thanks for the help!
[11:21] <soundray> sn9: when it appears idle, it will accept cluster jobs from a cycle-stealing framework, which slows down interactive performance
[11:22] <juris> wow, I have many errors :(
[11:22] <ActionParsnip> trey: help where you can
[11:22] <sn9> soundray: oh. you want to renice things, then
[11:22] <trey> ok
[11:23] <ManualOverDozer8> ﻿ActionParsnip : lots to look at there, thanks
[11:23] <soundray> sn9: no, I want it to appear in use (which it actually is). Renice won't help, because those pesky cluster jobs have a massive memory footprint and make the machine swap
[11:23] <ActionParsnip> ManualOverDozer8: np bro
[11:24] <sn9> soundray: what a masochistic machine...
[11:24] <ActionParsnip> soundray: try swiftfox

[11:25] <sn9> juris: you should never fsck something while it's mounted
[11:25] <juris> OK
[11:25] <ActionParsnip> sn9: i dont believe you actually can
[11:25] <ActionParsnip> sn9: can you?
[11:25] <sn9> ActionParsnip: i have
[11:25] <soundray> sn9: the whole network is setup like that. It's fine for desktops -- they unload their cluster jobs as soon as someone moves the mouse or hits a key.
[11:25] <rage> You can fsck while readonly
[11:25] <ActionParsnip> oh, then i have learned today
[11:25] <Photosynthesis> uu may have bad blocks on your disk... try smart-tools
[11:25] <Photosynthesis> you can run drive diagnostics
[11:26] <sn9> rage: yes, as long as you stay read-only, and don't try to reread
[11:26] <KrnlKlink> hey there...trying to boot xen kernel...but boot process hangs with a black screen...regular kernel boots fine...this is an x86_64 box running 8.04.1...anyone know how to get around this?
[11:26] <soundray> Photosynthesis: you mean smartmontools?
[11:27] <andouar> plop
[11:27] <Photosynthesis> KrnlK: check /var/log/kern,log syslog messages
[11:27] <Photosynthesis> sound: ya thats it
[11:27] <sn9> plop? that's a new greeting to me...
[11:28] <juris> how to check what hard disk is broken? I have IDE disk / and SATA disk /home I can not even open add/remove apps
[11:28] <sn9> juris: wherever your root is
[11:28] <ActionParsnip> juris: boot to livecd to ceck it is one answer
[11:28] <Photosynthesis> if the disk is in that state its trash
[11:29]  * ActionParsnip agrees with Photosynthesis.
[11:29] <Photosynthesis> yes there is always live boot
[11:29] <Photosynthesis> cd live
[11:29] <ActionParsnip> juris: if its that trashed, buy a new drive and restore data from backup
[11:29] <juris> OK
[11:29] <juris> no backups, I have new system, already Virtualmin installed... :(

[11:30] <Photosynthesis> u have another process using dpkg like add/remove or synaptic
[11:30] <juris> I can not close add/remove. its frozen :P
[11:31] <Photosynthesis> u have to command line and kill -9 it
[11:31] <soundray> juris: reboot and fix this from a live CD
[11:31] <DistroJockey> juris, first I would shutdown and re-seat all cables going to your hard drives. Then go from there
[11:31] <juris> OK. bye.
[11:31] <magnetron> juris, add/remove applications is just not "any app"
[11:31] <Photosynthesis> ya get out and use the cd
[11:31] <juris> OK. thanks for answers. bye.

[11:31] <Blaqlight> err pastebin.ubuntu.com
[11:32] <Photosynthesis> floodbot notified him already
[11:32] <Blaqlight> lol Photosynthesis no good luck is needed only a wing and a prayer as they say LP
[11:33] <Photosynthesis> well they didnt have LIVE CD's back in the day so he is totally spoiled
[11:33] <Blaqlight> Photosynthesis: Im a bit inebriated, and so my answers are a bit slower than the bot's
[11:33] <Photosynthesis> Acid?
[11:34] <Photosynthesis> weed?
[11:34] <magnetron> Photosynthesis, lol "back in the day". would love your presence in #ubuntu-offtopic
[11:34] <Blaqlight> inebriated == beer

[11:34] <magnetron> inbeeriated?
[11:34] <orgthingy> what im supposed to do now :S ?

[11:34] <Blaqlight> magnetron: something like that.
[11:34] <sn9> Blaqlight: it's ok, the bot's drunk, too
[11:35] <soundray> Blaqlight: if you can spell inebriated, then you're not ;)
[11:35] <JontyO> Hi
[11:35] <JontyO> Ive got a problem

[11:35] <eitch0000> hi, has anyone ever tried to use the huawei e172 usb modem?
[11:35] <Blaqlight> soundray: I leaned how to spell inebriated alot drunker than I am now :P
[11:35] <Photosynthesis> jonty: sudo apt-get -f install
[11:35] <JontyO> soundray: I got it working! Use wubi to install
[11:35] <sn9> eitch0000: is that gsm, or cdma?
[11:36] <soundray> JontyO: at least you've moved ahead from 12 hours ago
[11:36] <soundray> JontyO: ah
[11:36] <JontyO> ok photo
[11:36] <JontyO> :D

[11:37] <Photosynthesis> using hardy?
[11:37] <acemo> when increasing the block size of a filesystem will it make the files appear to be bigger? like when having 200 files of 2kb each and putting them in a fs with 4kb blocks or putting them in a fs with 8kb blocks, could it be that the files appear to be bigger on the 8kb blocks fs?
[11:38] <JontyO> Yea
[11:38] <soundray> JontyO: is your package list up to date? 'sudo apt-get update'
[11:38] <JontyO> one moment
[11:38] <wols> acemo: the files aren't bigger
[11:38] <cypherdelic> Can somebody reach my VNC cypherdelic.kicks-ass.org? does it prompt for password??
[11:38] <Blaqlight> sn9: the bot is always drunk, problem is alcohol doesn't affect many lines of code like it does many cells....
[11:38] <Photosynthesis> well isnt compiz installed default in hardy?
[11:38] <Blaqlight> wow my typing has actually improved.. a bit.
[11:38] <JontyO> Yes soundray it is
[11:38] <wols> but on average a file then wastes 4kB while with 4kB blocks it wastes ~2kB pre file
[11:39] <JontyO> it maybe because i tried a software update to new kernel but i cant install it cause it cant backup /boot something cause im on Fat32 :(
[11:39] <acemo> wols: thanks then this copying from one disk to a raid setup can't be because of diffrent block sizes :)
[11:39] <wols> JontyO: make a tar and copy away the tar
[11:39] <JontyO> huh ?
[11:39] <JontyO> confused :S
[11:39] <JontyO> Sorry im a noob
[11:39] <JontyO> :P
[11:39] <wols> obviously
[11:39] <Blaqlight> acemo: the file itself doesn't take up any more space, its just how the filesystem interprets the space available for a certian block of code/text/ whatever.
[11:39] <wols> I can tell, no need to say it
[11:40] <JontyO> :O
[11:40] <JontyO> Photosynthesis, I want compiz fusion
[11:40] <JontyO> its been removed anyway ;)
[11:40] <soundray> JontyO: I don't think wols actually meant you
[11:40] <omega7> hi
[11:40] <Photosynthesis> jonty: no ... unfortuently apt-get (package system) is very delicate... and so unless you know some tricks, you can break things... but dont give up... learn about how to trouble shoot apt and dpkg from google is my best advise
[11:40] <Blaqlight> !compiz-fusion | JontyO
[11:40] <JontyO> i removed it as the guide said
[11:40] <acemo> Blaqlight: so it could be that the files appear to be bigger while there not?
[11:40] <omega7> i have problem with my microphone
[11:40] <cypherdelic> Can somebody reach my VNC cypherdelic.kicks-ass.org? does it prompt for password??
[11:40] <omega7> can someone please help me to resolve this issue ?
[11:41] <Blaqlight> acemo: yes exactly
[11:41] <acemo> Blaqlight: great, thanks!
[11:41] <soundray> JontyO: does 'sudo apt-get -f install' produce any error messages?
[11:41] <Blaqlight> the lower the block size the less per bock the filesystem reads the block as full.
[11:41] <wols> acemo: on a 8k block device space is allocated in 8k increments
[11:41] <wols> so even a file of 1 byte needs 8k
[11:41] <Photosynthesis> I wonder, does canonical pay someone to be in this channel as extra support? :)
[11:41] <JontyO> soundray: No
[11:41] <omega7> ?
[11:41] <JontyO> just says no packages updated
[11:41] <JontyO> 1 packages not updated*
[11:42] <wols> a 8192 bytes file needs 8k on disk too. if it has 8193 bytes it needs another 8k chunk and so on
[11:42] <wols> JontyO: paste the FULL output of apt-get
[11:42] <wols> pastebin it
[11:42] <JontyO> ok
[11:42] <JontyO> !pastebin
[11:42] <acemo> wols: i understand that it uses the full block, but was wondering if a filesystem would say its the full block size or that it shows the actual file size =)
[11:42] <omega7> anyone can help me, i have problem with my microphone
[11:42] <Blaqlight> acemo: the filesystem always reads a block as full if something occupies it, whether or not its acually "full"
[11:42] <omega7> it doesnt work
[11:42] <jp> hello
[11:42] <wols> acemo: actual fielsize most times.depends on the tool reorting
[11:42] <soundray> !hi | jp

[11:43] <Blaqlight> hence the disparity between 256MB of ram and the usual available ~250MB or so...
[11:43] <omega7> ?
[11:44] <wols> Blaqlight: are you talking about filesystems with that ram analogy?
[11:44] <theclaw> I encrypted my windows system partition with truecrypt, it works fine so far, now I want to mount it in linux; this doesn't work, it always says "incorrect password or no truecrypt partition" - what to do?
[11:44] <Photosynthesis> omega: you may have a bad driver or none at all that supports your mic... make sure you right click the VOLUME icon and that the mic volume is not muted or turned off
[11:44] <acemo> wols: alright, ill get this guy to find out what his block size on both disks are n hope thats why before copying his files are 574MB and after copying are 842MB
[11:44] <Blaqlight> acemo: if its 4kb blocks then well... you do the math.. it adds up.
[11:44] <JontyO> brb someone in compiz-fusion helping
[11:44] <Blaqlight> wols its the same pricinple.
[11:45] <wols> Blaqlight: bullshit
[11:45] <Photosynthesis> why mess with the file systems block size?
[11:45] <omega7> hi, i have problem with my microphone,
[11:45] <Blaqlight> you look at your 160GB HDD and it usually reports 145GB or so available space...
[11:46] <omega7> can someone please help me to resolve this issue ?
[11:46] <wols> mkfs does it automaticaly. it's a usable space vs. speed thing
[11:46] <wols> blocksizes increase access speed
[11:46] <Photosynthesis> omega: you may have a bad driver or none at all that supports your mic... make sure you right click the VOLUME icon and that the mic volume is not muted or turned off
[11:46] <Blaqlight> because at 8kb block sizes it adds up fast to what the disparity between actual and available is.
[11:46] <Photosynthesis> more space please :)
 i did, and it is not muted, how can i find out that i am using correct driver or not ?
[11:47] <wols> Blaqlight: more bullshit. my hdd is not RAM. and hdds have a 1024 != 1000 problem and a 5% reserved for root "problem" on ext2. nothing to do with blocksizes either
[11:47] <wols> Photosynthesis: man mkfs-ext3. you can tweak to
[11:47] <Photosynthesis> omega... research google by supplying your computer model and ubuntu and sound
[11:48] <omega7> ok, i am checking now
[11:48] <Photosynthesis> u have to know your hardware before u can begin
[11:48] <soundray> !u | Photosynthesis
[11:49] <Photosynthesis> wols: ya thats kool... but unnessasary... yet still fun to play with, the defaults are usualy optimal
[11:49] <Blaqlight> Photosynthesis: you have the space but if you get down to it, it is what it is.
[11:49] <Blaqlight> it sucks that you lose so much space to that little filesystem anomaly but its designed that way for a readon, cause less problems system/filesystem wide.
[11:49] <Penol> is it many Acer Aspire One users here?
[11:49] <Blaqlight> also sometimes bytes are lost to other things besides the actual file data...
[11:50] <wols> Photosynthesis: no. you have to know your filesystem usage to do that
[11:50] <Blaqlight> wols: fine believe whatever you want. its been this way for years.
[11:50] <wols> hardware is at least for that, irrelevant
[11:50] <Photosynthesis> cough... well I use reiserFS
[11:51] <wols> e.g are you storing ISOs or maildir mails? how fast is the acess you want, etc
[11:51] <max____> can someone tell me why despite giving permission for all users to run a script i get permission denied unless i use sudo?
[11:51] <JontyO> Guys im gettng this error when i do sudo apt-get upgrade

[11:52] <Grey_Loki> Hi. I'm having some difficulty in understanding my wireless problem. At the moment, I can connect to my router and use the internet using kernel version 2.6.20-16-generic, but when I switch (via GRUB) to using 2.6.24-19-generic, though I can connect to the network, I cannot get any internet access - does anyone have any ideas why?
[11:52] <omega7> wols: do u want the whole output ?
[11:52] <Grey_Loki> I'm using a fully-updated system, both wlassistant and wicd wireless managers, and an Asus WL-167G USB adapter, which seems to use the rt2500 chipset driver.
[11:52] <max____> anirudh0: here's the script
[11:52] <Blaqlight> wols: one question, explain this: if you write 5KB to a block in a filesystem (any filesystem) does it report to be full, 5KB full or empty?
[11:52] <max____> anirudh0: http://paste.ubuntu.com/32950/
[11:52] <kane77> what would you recommend virtualbox or vmware? (I want to try intrepid alpha + some other things)
[11:53] <max____> anirudh0: it doesn't look like it to me
[11:53] <anirudh0> lol
[11:53] <Blaqlight> wols: assuming its 8kb blocks
[11:53] <JontyO> http://paste.ubuntu.com/32953/
[11:53] <anirudh0> just make an alias :P
[11:53] <JontyO> thats my whole error
[11:53] <max____> anirudh0: how
[11:53] <wols> Blaqlight: report with what system call?
[11:53] <omega7> wols: http://paste.ubuntu.com/32954/
[11:53] <anirudh0> alias mupadflatex='<stuff>'...add to .bashrc
[11:54] <Photosynthesis> grey: reboot your router and make sure you set up correctly.. maybe at first try NO encryption and no pass... later if get it working secure it with a wpa2
[11:54] <wols> JontyO: read line 14
[11:54] <max____> anirudh0: where in bashrc
[11:54] <anirudh0> btw whats the ouput of ls -l <script>
[11:54] <anirudh0> end of it
[11:54] <JontyO> wols: what shall I do with it?
[11:54] <Blaqlight> wols the system call is irrelevant in general it reports this info to the OS as full, 5kb full, or empty?
[11:54] <max____> anirudh0: xs across the board
[11:55] <max____> anirudh0: edit ~/.bashrc?
[11:55] <max____> or /etc/bash.bashrc
[11:55] <wols> omega7: chances are 95% snd-hda-intel but: use lspci -n
[11:55] <anirudh0> max____: yeah..you have write prerms in the directory you ran it in>

[11:55] <anirudh0> max____: only edit ~/.bashrc if you have many users
[11:55] <Blaqlight> wols: in truth it reports this particular block as "Full" which means you lose 3kb of space.. now multiply this over millions of times and you have... a huge loss of space.
[11:56] <max____> anirudh0: i don't under the 3rd to last statement about the directory perms
[11:56] <wols> Blaqlight: it's not. let's use stat then. it reports 5k and no more. as you can see for yourself by the glorious command called "ls"
[11:56] <JontyO> can someone help me with unable to make backup link of `./boot/vmlinuz-2.6.24-19-generic' before installing new version: Operation not permitted please

[11:56] <wols> Blaqlight: I put you on my ignore list. people who don't know the differnce of RAM and hdd are simply a waste of time. goodbye
[11:57] <Grey_Loki> Photosynthesis, i've tried the router reboots and no encryption/passphrase - i'm sure it's set up correctly though, because it works fine using the older kernel.

[11:58] <wols> anirudh0: people who tell me what I told someone else long ago (in the same discussion) are a waste of time
[11:58] <omega7> wols: ok,
[11:58] <Photosynthesis> omega: pulseaudio has known issues.. try switching to alsa
[11:58] <omega7> wols: what do i need to do now ? as my Sound works perfectly but the microphone doesnt :(
[11:59] <max____> so if i want to not have to file pdflatex -flag file.file, i alias pdflatex -flag
[11:59] <Blaqlight> wols: fine thats what your seeing for argument sake, but still if taken as a whole the drive is still missing the usual ammount of space, due to the idea laid out above... my 160GB drive does not say that if its completely empty that it had 160GB available, only 145GB.
[11:59] <max____> ?
[11:59] <JontyO> wols: What can i do aboit that error
[11:59] <wols> omega7: if your ubuntu ones don't work, try a newer alsa. that particular drives is in heavy development for a few years now
[11:59] <anirudh0> Blaqlight: 160 GB is a marketing gimmick
[11:59] <wols> JontyO: check why it happens
[11:59] <max____> anirudh0: am i right?
[11:59] <anirudh0> Blaqlight: no drives ever have the full capacity..always in powers of 2
[11:59] <JontyO> wols: I have no idea
[11:59] <JontyO> thats why im asking :/
[11:59] <Blaqlight> lol whatever.
[12:00] <anirudh0> max____: yes
[12:00] <Grey_Loki> Blaqlight, HDD manufacturers class a gigabyte as 1,000 megabytes, not 1,024
[12:00] <Photosynthesis> same with RAM
[12:00] <wols> JontyO: since I don't see your system, it's permissions etc, how could I?
[12:00] <anirudh0> Blaqlight: conveniently taking 1000 instead of the real binary closest value, that is 1024
[12:00] <wols> Photosynthesis: but the reasons are totally different
[12:00] <Photosynthesis> you actually get more than what they market :) 1024
[12:01] <JontyO> wols: Shall i edit permissions?
[12:01] <omega7> AlsaMixer v1.0.15
[12:01] <Grey_Loki> Photosynthesis, no, you get less - they're telling you you're getting say 160x1,000, rather than 160x1,024
[12:01] <wols> JontyO: no you should look WHY it can't be overwritten first
[12:01] <anirudh0> you get more..see cat /proc/meminfo
[12:01] <omega7> alsactl version 1.0.15
[12:02] <Photosynthesis> Grey: which translates to MORE RAM that what is advertised
[12:02] <omega7> do i need to upgrade it ?
[12:02] <max____> anirudh0: how do i "source" the bashrc
[12:02] <anirudh0> max____: source ~/.bashrc ;)
[12:02] <max____> yea that doesn't work
[12:02] <anirudh0> thats a command
[12:03] <anirudh0> max____: open a new terminal then
[12:03] <Photosynthesis> source is used INSIDE another bash script to call a bash script
[12:03] <Grey_Loki> Photosynthesis, apologies - I thought we were still talking about HDD space, rather than RAM O_o
[12:03] <anirudh0> can also be used from term
[12:03] <max____> k
[12:03] <JontyO> wols,  I made permissions 777 but it still wont work
[12:03] <anirudh0> just asks bash to "execute" contents of whatever is in the sourced-file..kind of like #include
[12:03] <wols> of course. blindly going into actiona makes it WORSE
[12:04] <wols> if I were you I'd revert that "fix"
[12:04] <JontyO> wols, was that aimed at me?
[12:04] <wols> yes
[12:04] <JontyO> k what can i do then
[12:04] <JontyO> sorry im a noob when it comes to these things
[12:05] <wols> I just told you: revert what you did
[12:05] <max____> dir
[12:05] <JontyO> its reverted itself
[12:05] <JontyO> :S
[12:06] <Blaqlight> ok so there is no overhead in filesystems, and that what you know is the entire capacity of the drive and what the OS reports is all in my head.
[12:06] <JontyO> wols: What shall i do now
[12:06] <JontyO> does it matter i installed from wubi?
[12:06] <wols> check why you can't change perms as root
[12:06] <wols> that's suspicious
[12:06] <max____> whats this mean
[12:06] <max____> if [ "$TERM" != "dumb" ];
[12:06] <wols> probably it does
[12:06] <JontyO> it didnt say any errors
[12:06] <Vasily> http://www.exploratorium.edu/eclipse/2008/index.html
[12:06] <JontyO> just seemed to go bac
[12:06] <wols> max____: if you don#t have a dumb terminal
[12:06] <anirudh0> max____: checks value of environment variable TERM
[12:07] <anirudh0> emacs shell is dumb..xterm is not..so emacs shell exports TERM=dumb, xterm does TERM=xterm
[12:07] <Blaqlight> frankly wols is just mean anyway so it doesn't really bother me that he put me on ignore.
[12:07] <max____> the thing is
[12:07] <JontyO> wols, does it matter i used wubi to install it?
[12:07] <max____> in some some dirs i get colors and some i don't
[12:07] <max____> that if statement is on top of the colors aliases
[12:08] <linxUz3r> whats new with ubuntu and compiz?
[12:08] <linxUz3r> or compiz fusion
[12:08] <linxUz3r> !compiz | linxUz3r
[12:08] <anirudh0> max____: look through the logic in the bashrc..it should be understandable :)
[12:08] <max____> anirudh0: that's what im doing
[12:08] <sCOTTo> hey guys what are the best programs in linux beside gimp for graphics - to rival windows and mac :) ?
[12:09] <max____> anirudh0: i don't understand why one dir would make the terminal "dumb" and another not
[12:09] <anirudh0> max____: this does not relate to aliases in any way
[12:09] <Balian_> #ubuntu-pl
[12:09] <DistroJockey_> !lag
[12:09] <Blaqlight> sCOTTo: inkscape and others.
[12:09] <sCOTTo> others?
[12:09] <max____> anirudh0: if [ "$TERM" != "dumb" ]; then eval "`dircolors -b`" alias ls='ls --color=auto' #alias dir='ls --color=auto --format=vertical' #alias vdir='ls --color=auto --format=long'
[12:09] <max____> fi
[12:09] <max____> anirudh0: in some dirs i get color
[12:09] <JontyO> !lag
[12:10] <max____> anirudh0: in some i don't
[12:10] <anirudh0> max____: does'nt make sense...dunno why that could happen
[12:10] <RaverWild> hello people. new to linux. have ubuntu with gnome. want to try xfce. is it safe to install xfce? what would happen to my programs already installed for gnome? could i be able to still run them same way as gnome could run kde apps? noone replies in xubuntu channel :(
[12:10] <DistroJockey_> heh
[12:10] <Blaqlight> RaverWild: nothing.
[12:10] <max____> anirudh0: yup even if i put the flag on ls by hand, ls --color=auto
[12:11] <max____> hmm actually nm i'm dumb
[12:11] <lstarnes> RaverWild: it should be safe to install
[12:11] <max____> none of this stuff should have color
[12:11] <JontyO> wols: what can I do
[12:11] <JontyO> its 38 1888 -rwxr-xr-x  1 root root 1920472 2008-06-18 18:11 vmlinuz-2.6.24-19-generic as permissions
[12:11] <Blaqlight> RaverWild: go for it, however with all those extra programs installed you might have a bit of a mess for a system, consider just xubuntu
[12:11] <anirudh0> max____: you are dumb..or terminal is dumb?
[12:11] <max____> i am
[12:12] <JontyO> !lag
[12:12] <RaverWild> Blaqlight, i see. what about the fact that gnome could run kde apps? does xfce could run gnome/kde too?
[12:12] <anirudh0> max____: well..the first step of fixing something is realizing that it needs to be fixed ;)
[12:12] <anirudh0> RaverWild: yes
[12:12] <anirudh0> RaverWild: unless otherwise mentioned..everything runs everything
[12:12] <Blaqlight> RaverWild: yes they are included in the menus if thats what your asking, and yes they run the same way.. with some dependencies.
[12:13] <max____> omg i've been up for so long
[12:13] <RaverWild> anirudh0, thanks man. does thid applies to other desktop environments such as rox, xfast?
[12:14] <anirudh0> RaverWild: desktop environment are mostly for eye candy..apps need libraries..which are povided by the system..hence everything run everywhere
[12:14] <anirudh0> RaverWild: but they might not look the same
[12:14] <RaverWild> anirudh0, i see. thanks man.
[12:15] <JontyO> brb
[12:17] <wctaiwan> um, I installed ubuntu according to the instructions on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBook on a first gen macbook... I did not install rEFIt or follow this step: "On the last screen, click on the "Advanced" button and select instead /dev/sda in the drop-down list for installing GRUB" (because i thought it was only applicable for using ubuntu's bootloader)
[12:17] <wctaiwan> now when I boot up and hold down option, boot camp only sees Macintosh HD
[12:19] <dj_baggio> !eclipse
[12:19] <Balian_> i have 156 update files but i can't download  bicuse ubuntu 6.12 don't have suport...
[12:19] <azhar27> !amarok | azhar27
[12:19] <Balian_> HELP
[12:19] <anirudh0> what is 6.12?
[12:19]  * Blaqlight chops up the towel into a thousand little pieces and throws it into the middle of #ubuntu.
[12:20] <japheth> hi there, can someone tell me please, how can I tell from the command line after doing a sudo apt-get update, whether or not a sudo apt-get upgrade is necessary?
[12:21] <anirudh0> japheth: you cant
[12:21] <anirudh0> japheth: but you can type apt-get upgrade..and then cancel
[12:21] <japheth> really?  but you can check whether or not a restart is required after a sudo apt-get upgrade...
[12:22] <Balian_> anirudh0 6.12 <----  DISTRIBUTION i need repo
[12:22] <sCOTTo> hey can someone tell me a good place to download fonts + also a good fonts manager ?
[12:23] <trigpin> hi , i want to play burnt dvds on a dvd player which does not play divx , is it possible , what programs i need ?
[12:24] <DistroJockey> japheth, not sure you can tell from command line if a reboot is needed, but you don't need to reboot until you are ready
[12:24] <anirudh0> reboots upgrade default kernel
[12:24] <japheth> DistroJockey: you can definitely tell if a reboot is needed from command line, which is why it surprises me that you can't tell if an upgrade is required.
[12:25] <anirudh0> japheth: how do you tell?
[12:25] <lappy198> Are there any alternatives to F-spot? I looked up googles Picasa, but since it just uses Wine Libs it feels like a bad choise..
[12:25] <DistroJockey> japheth, sudo apt-get upgrade   tells you if you need to upgrade
[12:26] <anirudh0> gwenview
[12:26] <lappy198> anirudh0> Was that pointed at me?
[12:26] <trigpin> hi , i want to play burnt dvds on a dvd player which does not play divx , is it possible , what programs i need ? (sorry to repost)
[12:26] <anirudh0> yes
[12:26] <japheth> anirudh0: a file is created at /var/run/reboot-required
[12:27] <japheth> DistroJockey: true, I guess I could just run apt-get upgrade -y and then it'll upgrade if necessary, and just do nothing if not...
[12:27] <lappy198> trigpin> Are you burning an .avi file to a cd or a .iso or .imb?
[12:27] <lappy198> img*
[12:27] <ArthurArchni1> hi
[12:27] <trigpin> lappy198,  im burning an avi
[12:27] <lappy198> anirudh0> Gwenview is for KDE apparently..
[12:28] <DistroJockey> japheth, well, depends on your situation I guess
[12:28] <legend2440> trigpin: devede     in synaptic is good
[12:28] <japheth> DistroJockey: my purpose is basically to write a small Python script to run at 3am everyday on a server, and install any updates and reboot if necessary.
[12:28] <anirudh0> lappy198: then look at gqview
[12:29] <ArthurArchni1> I installed Kubuntu 8.04 on my girlfriends laptop, but there a few things that don't work good. I know how to fix them on gnome, but I'm not sure how to fix them on KDE. I've used the ppa repo to upgrade to kde 4.1
[12:29] <DistroJockey> japheth, if it's a critical server, I'd do it manually (but maybe less often)
[12:29] <ArthurArchni1> The first is, everytime I log in, I need to enter the key for the kde wallet so that the wireless can connect.
[12:30] <trigpin> legend2440, when i use devede it rurns the .avi able to play on anything ?
[12:30] <lappy198> trigpin> Well.. Then you will have to convert it to a DVD.
[12:30] <ArthurArchni1> On gnome you install libpam-gnome-keyring or some such and that fixes it. How do I fix this on KDE?
[12:30] <lappy198> TrevorP1> And I'm not 100% sure on how to do it.. Do some googling on it.
[12:31] <legend2440> trigpin: http://www.rastersoft.com/programas/devede.html
[12:31] <anirudh0> ArthurArchni1: #kubuntu-kde4, or#kde, might be more useful
[12:31] <japheth> DistroJockey: It's not a critical server in this case.  It hosts code, and has incremental backups every 30mins during the day, but needs minimum maintenance.
[12:32] <trigpin> thanxs, lappy198 ,legend2440, will try devede
[12:33] <ArthurArchni1> anirudh0: I think that was uninstalled automatically since it conflicts with kde 4.1 from the ppa archives
[12:33] <zaapiel> zing!
[12:33] <DistroJockey> japheth, It may suit your situation but I don't always like applying all updates (especially quickly after release) without some reviewing
[12:34] <japheth> DistroJockey: that's a fair point, and normally I would agree.  in this case though, I am leaving a business and I set their server up.  noone else knows how to maintain it at this point, and keeping it up to date is fairly important...
[12:35] <xorand> Can anyone help me with installing iReport 3.0.0 on Ubuntu 8?  The installer doesn't seem to work and there doesn't seem to be iReport in Ubuntu's repo
[12:35] <DistroJockey> japheth, ahh, fair enough
[12:36] <japheth> DistroJockey: thanks for your assistance too, I think that's sorted me out  :)
[12:36] <ArthurArchni1> Hmm...  I've created a new wallet and asked it not to prompt me for passwords. We'll see if that works.
[12:36] <DistroJockey> japheth, no problem. All the best :)
[12:37] <Zen_> hi every body
[12:37] <anirudh0> DistroJockey: well..updates do get reviewed...thats how they get there..in part
[12:37] <DistroJockey> anirudh0, yes, depending on your repo sources ofcourse
[12:38] <eshat> Hi all, is there a way, that a file cannot be opened twice ? We are a root group and I want to prevend 2 persons editing the same config, because one will lose his changes if the other overwrites the file ?
[12:39] <anirudh0> eshat: put it under svn :P
[12:41] <tom4ever> hi , i want to add ram to my desktop does linux accept all ram or can it not be compatible ?
[12:41] <anirudh0> it accepts
[12:41] <tom4ever> ok
[12:41] <tom4ever> thanxs
[12:41] <eshat> anirudh0: I am talking about server configs, etc. So the file has to be on that server and not in a svn directory
[12:42] <eshat> or at least be uploaded after it is comitted
[12:42] <DistroJockey> tom4ever, if you BIOS sees it, all is good :)
[12:42] <trym_work> when you "connect to a server" using ssh - you obviously have the same permissions as the user you are connecting as. Is there a way to sudo on the remote side, so that you have full access to the remote filesystem?
[12:43] <DistroJockey> tom4ever, unless you are going over 3GB of RAM that is :)
[12:43] <tom4ever> DistroJockey, alright not bought the ram yet , hope the bios sees it
[12:43] <Pici> tom4ever: See ##hardware for figuring out what types of ram that your computer can accept.
[12:43] <DistroJockey> tom4ever, yeah, good idea to check what you MB/system can support first
[12:43] <tom4ever> DistroJockey,  was goint to add 4  gb ram =()
[12:44] <umangme_> eshat: Can't you make each user do a chown (self) and then a change permitions so that others can't change the file.
[12:44] <cwillu> !pinning
[12:44] <tom4ever> Pici,  ok will have a look in #hardware
[12:44] <DistroJockey> tom4ever, to see the full 4GB you will need a 64bit OS or run a 32bit OS with PAE support (latter is slower)
[12:45] <HappyHater> DistroJockey, what about the bigmem kernels? isn't that what their for?
[12:45] <DistroJockey> HappyHater, yep, that would be PAE
[12:46] <tom4ever> DistroJockey,  i have 32 bit systel i guess its imposible to upgrade ?
[12:46] <DistroJockey> tom4ever, how much RAM do you have now? How many RAM slots?
[12:47] <Pici> Ahem, ##hardware ;)
[12:47] <DistroJockey> Pici, sorry
[12:47] <ActionParsnip> werd up y'alls
[12:48] <tom4ever> DistroJockey,  no idea havn't opened to see , but i have 1 gb at the moment
[12:48] <DjViper> ActionParsnip: pardon? :P
[12:49] <tom4ever> DistroJockey,  is there a way to check how many slots i have ?
[12:49] <moreau> anyone know what setting an IRC chat as 'persistent' does.  in Pidgin, with the chat rooms i have added to the ud list
[12:49] <ArthurArchni1> hi.. ok that didn't work. Network manager keeps telling me that knetworkmanager needs kwallet to open... but in kwallet I only have one wallet that is set not to ask for passwords.
[12:50] <ArthurArchni1> So there must be some old wallet or setting in there from before my upgrade that is confusing it
[12:50] <DistroJockey> tom4ever, may aswell get what the board supports (if you can afford it)
[12:50] <R42> hi
[12:50] <moreau> r4 stop, ppl will bitch at you for spammin channel with /nick <nick> commands
[12:50] <moreau> and, hello :)
[12:51] <R42> i installed ubuntu today and have some problems ._.
[12:51] <R42> nicks were registered ,\
[12:51] <DistroJockey> tom4ever, google your MB/System name or BIOS codes for specifications
[12:51] <moreau> R3 > R4 IMO
[12:51] <sergevn> situation
[12:51] <tom4ever> DistroJockey,  ok thanxs will do , thanxs fo your help =)
[12:52] <DistroJockey> tom4ever, you're welcome
[12:52] <moreau> whats your prob with ubuntu R42
[12:52] <sergevn> hosting platform with virtual sites, each documentroot dir has it's own non-existing owner/group id
[12:52] <tom4ever> Pici,  thanxs for you help too
[12:52] <R42> apt-get and symantic isn't working, i get rufi@ubuntu-desktop:~$ sudo apt-get install konsole
[12:52] <R42> [sudo] password for rufi:
[12:52] <R42> E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
[12:52] <^hellfire^> spadam do jutra
[12:52] <sergevn> is it possible to run cronjobs as the non-existing user
[12:52] <Pici> R42: run sudo dpkg --configure -a
[12:53] <ActionParsnip> R42: then run that
[12:53] <R42> i did it of course
[12:53] <ActionParsnip> R42: and what did yuo get?
[12:53] <R42> but no result
[12:53] <ActionParsnip> R42: why do you want konsole when you have terminal?
[12:53] <R42> i can paste, but i have russian locale
[12:53] <R42> -)
[12:54] <ActionParsnip> !ru
[12:54] <Beby_face> #surabaya
[12:54] <R42> it's not a question of konsole or terminal
[12:54] <R42> apps don'g install or uninstall
[12:54] <theclaw> !DE
[12:54] <moreau> ffs shut up he can speak english
[12:54] <ActionParsnip> R42: try sudo apt-get -f install

[12:55] <moreau> lol
[12:55] <R42> wth
[12:55] <moreau> hes a bot
[12:55] <ActionParsnip> he saves finers in here
[12:55] <R42> i see

[12:55] <moreau> you can type stuff like !xorg  !wubi, etc
[12:55] <DistroJockey> !botsnack
[12:55] <moreau> !yourmom
[12:55] <[gquit]bombadil> every time i watch a youtube video firefox crashes
[12:55] <unop> sergevn, you could run a cronjob as the user "noboby"
[12:55] <Circus-Killer> lol
[12:56] <moreau> bombdil how did you install the flash thingy
[12:56] <moreau> flash....driver...whatever its called
[12:56] <ActionParsnip> [gquit]bombadil: firefox3-64bit with flash per chance?
[12:56] <[gquit]bombadil> ActionParsnip: nope
[12:56] <ActionParsnip> ndispluginwrapper
[12:56] <ActionParsnip> [gquit]bombadil: 32bit? 64 bit? What version of firefox
[12:57] <sluimers> hello? I've got a slowness problem, ubuntu is slowing my computer down to ultra slow now
[12:57] <[gquit]bombadil> moreau: i followed the fixing pulse audio webpage from the ubuntu forums
[12:57] <sluimers> everything is moving slow
[12:57] <tom4ever> [gquit]bombadil,  i had same problem i up upgraded firefox and installed adobe flash
[12:57] <sluimers> except for my mouse pointer
[12:57] <iopk> I have a simple textfile that is OK on one machine, but contains "strange" characters on another machine. It's copied from the first to the second by first gzipping, scp'ing and unzipping it. file --mime <<filenam>> says "text/x-c; charset=us-ascii" on both machines. how can I make sure it looks OK on the 2nd machine too?
[12:57] <[gquit]bombadil> ActionParsnip: 32bit, FF3, i'll need to start FF again to get the exact version
[12:57] <moreau> i dont think you guys should even be running FF3
[12:57] <tom4ever> [gquit]bombadil,  and it worked
[12:57] <ActionParsnip> sluimers: so apps take a while to load, login is slow
[12:58] <ActionParsnip> [gquit]bombadil: id uninstall then reinstall the flash plugin
[12:58] <umangme> sluimers: Have you installed anything lately?
[12:58] <Pici> iopk: md5sum both of the files and compare the resulting hashes
[12:58] <moreau> FF3 to web browers is like Vista to OS's
[12:58] <sluimers> ActionParsnip, it's beyond normal, even typing here on xchat lags
[12:58] <ActionParsnip> [gquit]bombadil: uninstall it then go to a flash site like www.rathergood.com it will be offered to you
[12:58] <sluimers> umangme, java
[12:58] <ActionParsnip> sluimers: what spec pc do you have?
[12:58] <[gquit]bombadil> ActionParsnip: okay i'll try that
[12:58] <anirudh0> iopk: run a diff
[12:59] <unop> iopk, are all the contents of the file strange characters or just a few?
[12:59] <sluimers> it's a 1.5 Ghz centrino laptop
[12:59] <ActionParsnip> sluimers: ram?
[12:59] <anirudh0> iopk: see unop
[12:59] <sluimers> with 4 Gb of RAM
[12:59] <anirudh0> iopk: might be a locale issue too
[12:59] <ActionParsnip> sluimers: wow nice, graphics?
[12:59] <ActionParsnip> sluimers: do you have any compiz rubbish running?
[13:00] <sluimers> graphics? I don't know, just a regular one
[13:00] <sluimers> intel one
[13:00] <ActionParsnip> sluimers: have you installed the graphics driver?
[13:00] <sluimers> yes, I can't get rid of the compiz thing
[13:00] <anirudh0> sluimers: run "top" from term...see whats eating your cpu
[13:00] <ActionParsnip> sluimers: have you ran sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade
[13:00] <umangme> sluimers: Are you sure your swap is swapedon? type free in terminal and see what it says with swap
[13:00] <DistroJockey> sluimers, first thing I would try is disabling (setting to None) the Visual Effects in  System - Preferences - Appearance
[13:00] <sluimers> Xorg is
[13:01] <ActionParsnip> i bet its compiz being fantastic as usual
[13:01] <anirudh0> sluimers: sudo killall compiz
[13:01] <sluimers> distroJockey, it is already and yet compiz is running
[13:01] <unop> anirudh0, sudo ?
[13:01] <crdlb> anirudh0: using sudo make no sense
[13:01] <anirudh0> unop: yes
[13:02] <unop> anirudh0, that's a silly use of sudo
[13:02] <sluimers> anirudh0, no use it's still slow
[13:02] <anirudh0> i'm not sure compiz is a user process
[13:02] <tmapj> hey could anyone help me, my system tray is missing
[13:02] <umangme> sluimers: Is you swap activated?
[13:02] <crdlb> anirudh0: it's a window manager ...
[13:02] <anirudh0> crdlb: yes
[13:03] <unop> anirudh0, and window managers are invoked by the user not root
[13:03] <crdlb> window managers are just clients of the X server, so they run as user
[13:03] <sluimers> umangme, ah errr.... maybe not, I never really understood swap
[13:03] <tmapj> hey could anyone help me, my system tray is missing
[13:03] <sluimers> Mem:       2066520    1425220     641300          0      63624     832692
[13:03] <umangme> sluimers: type in free in the terminal
[13:03] <ActionParsnip> tmapj: right click the taskbar -> add item (?)
[13:03] <umangme> And post the line that says swap
[13:03] <sluimers> -/+ buffers/cache:     528904    1537616
[13:03] <anirudh0> sluimers: if swap is on..it will show in df -h ouput
[13:04] <Pici> tmapj: on the bottom?
[13:04] <anhdh> how can i make the 3d desktop into the circle by compiz???
[13:04] <sluimers> Swap:      1646620          0    1646620
[13:04] <tmapj> no pici on the top right corner
[13:04] <anirudh0> sluimers: did you run top..see if compiz is really the culprit
[13:05] <umangme> sluimers: How much RAM do you have?
[13:05] <Pici> tmapj: Right click on the panel. go to add to panel and the applet you need to add is titled Notification bar, I think, or something similar.
[13:05] <HappyHater> anhdh, upgrade to version 0.7.6 of compiz-fusion
[13:05]  * ActionParsnip bets its compiz
[13:05] <tom4ever> anhdh,  do you mean into a cube or like a round ball ?
[13:05] <anhdh> HappyHater,  yes
[13:05] <sluimers> umangme, 4 Gb
[13:05] <anhdh> HappyHater,  round
[13:05] <tmapj> thanks pici
[13:06] <Pici> tmapj: surely
[13:06] <umangme> Oh ok that's why you've got your swap fully free. Then swap can't be the issue
[13:06] <sluimers> umangme, my last laptop had too little so I got as much as possible when I bought it
[13:06] <anhdh> HappyHater,  cube is easy but i can't make it round ball
[13:06] <tom4ever> anhdh , didn't know it could do that thanxs
[13:06] <anirudh0> sluimers: you have a 64 bit system>
[13:06] <anirudh0> *?
[13:06] <HappyHater> anhdh, , like I said, upgrade your version
[13:06] <anhdh> HappyHater,  ok
[13:07] <ActionParsnip> sluimers: does it happen if you reduce ram?
[13:07] <Pici> anhdh: Thats not offered in the version of Compiz in Hardy, join #compiz-fusion for help installing a new version.
[13:07] <iopk> unop: just a few characters - the famous ones are strange
[13:07] <sluimers> I see in top: Xorg, opera and compiz.real as my CPU eaters, with Xorg being the main culprit
[13:07] <sluimers> anirudh0, no
[13:07] <unop> iopk, what are the "famous ones" ?
[13:08] <iopk> unop: é and è etc are wrong
[13:08] <sluimers> ActionParsnip: How do I do that? I doubt it, I have been running Ubuntu just fine for over a year
[13:08] <iopk> unop: you know - the non-english chars (french)
[13:08] <ActionParsnip> sluimers: its a physical removal of the ram
[13:08] <unop> iopk, so you are writing in french ?
[13:08] <ActionParsnip> sluimers: maybe your system needs tweaking as it has 4gb ram
[13:09] <anirudh0> iopk: wrong locale on one machine>
[13:09] <sluimers> ActionParsnip: It ran feisty and gusty just fine.
[13:09] <Craskell> hey guys, im havin a problem with my wlan router, speed just like 1 kb/s,  but 1 MB/s would be more like possible
[13:09] <iopk> nah - it's a postgres dump file. I know those can give problems, but what surprises me is that a file (a simple file) that looks OK one one machine contains invalid chars on another one. It's as if the second one does not know what fileformat the file is in
[13:09] <fatalus> hello how can i install grub from live cd ?? while the installation i got an error like grub-install(hd0) cant executed..what should i do ??
[13:10] <unop> iopk, try saving the file in unicode encoding rather than us-ascii
[13:10] <DistroJockey> sluimers, does  killall compiz.real   work? Or maybe a   metacity --replace
[13:10] <anirudh0> fatalus: google for "recover grub live cd ubuntu"..open first link
[13:10] <kushal_12_27_200> Hello, I would like to use GNU/Linux live cd to perform a virus/malware scan on a desktop that my friend has. Is it possible to scan for viruses using a live CD without installing anything on the computer? It is an old Pentium III but it boots Ubuntu 8.04.1 live CD fine and its ethernet card also works under Ubuntu (which is amazing). so my question is, if I want to do virus, spyware and malware scan on the hard disk (which
[13:10] <kushal_12_27_200> has Win XP installed) which linux distro supports it out of the box? thanks.
[13:10] <ActionParsnip> sluimers: hmmm, not sure then
[13:11] <anirudh0> kushal_12_27_200: no
[13:11] <kushal_12_27_200> on, and I would also like to heal/remove the infection

[13:11] <anirudh0> kushal_12_27_200: the live cd cant scan for windows viruses
[13:11] <Craskell> is someone maybe able to help me?
[13:12] <kushal_12_27_200> Is there another distro that does the task that you are aware of?
[13:12] <iopk> anirudh0: where can I see the locales on the machines?
[13:12] <dns53> are there any network file systems that i can mount while in the alternate install cd?
[13:12] <HappyHater> Craskell, not until you ask
[13:12] <truthtruth> hello sinners
[13:12] <Craskell> well im havin a problem with my wlan, the speed is like 1 kb/s
[13:12] <unop> iopk, use  locale  at a terminal

[13:12] <trym_work> when you "connect to a server" using ssh - you obviously have the same permissions as the user you are connecting as. Is there a way to sudo on the remote side, so that you have full access to the remote filesystem?
[13:12] <truthtruth> Craskell: thats actually rather fast
[13:12] <anirudh0> iopk: or you mean files?
[13:13] <sluimers> DistroJockey: nope, so far the only thing that has worked is turn the laptop on and off, but it gets slow after a while again
[13:13] <fatalus> please somebody help me i tried lots of things but i cant still..im going out of my mind :S
[13:13] <anirudh0> kushal_12_27_200: irclogs.ubuntu.com

[13:14] <Craskell> yeah i did, the quality is good

[13:16] <titanix88> plz help ... :(
[13:16] <sluimers> CPU use goes to 100% very fast
[13:16] <DistroJockey> sluimers, and what does   top   say is using it?
[13:17] <titanix88> ﻿'sudo' says timstamp is too far in the future...what should i do?
[13:17] <unop> trym_work, I guess you'll have to enable the root account on the remote machine then and log on as root directly -- but this is not recommended, if there is a way to work around this, you should look into that instead
[13:17] <kiosk> ce cutez
[13:17] <dns53> moreau cifs is not available in the alternate installer shell
[13:17] <moreau> titanix88: what are you running sudo with?
[13:17] <moreau> dns53: what FS type are you tryin t mount?
[13:18] <titanix88> moreau: any "sudo xxxx" command....
[13:18] <sluimers> Xorg, xchat, metacity, gnome-panel
[13:18] <kiosk> ce cutez&gokil
[13:18] <moreau> is your date/time set correctly....lol i assume theyre correct but its the only thing i can think of
[13:18] <unop> titanix88,  is the date and time set properly on your machine?
[13:18] <dns53> moreau i am running the alternate install cd and i want to backup the drive over a network, i'll use a usb drive but a network would be better for me
[13:18] <titanix88> pixie@theMonitor:~$ sudo aptitude update

[13:19] <Craskell> anirudh0, did ya find out something?
[13:19] <trym_work> unop: yeah thanks - its a way around that Im looking for
[13:19] <anhdh> E: Could not get lock /var/lib/apt/lists/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable)
[13:19] <anhdh> E: Unable to lock the list directory
[13:19] <anhdh>  what can i do to fix that error??
[13:19] <titanix88> unop: i am trying to fix my date, but i need to use sudo to do that.... :-|
[13:19] <jpds> !aptfix | anhdh
[13:19] <anirudh0> Craskell: nope..sorry
[13:19] <DRebellion> anhdh, you can't run more than one package manager at the same time.
[13:19] <DistroJockey> sluimers, those 4 processes are using 25% each?
[13:20] <iopk> how can I find out what encoding my file actually has?
[13:20] <Craskell> anirudh0, anyway thx
[13:20] <anhdh> DRebellion, i don't
[13:20] <tom4ever> anhdh, you ran sudo before your command , do you have synaptic open or update anger ?
[13:20] <unop> titanix88, iirc, you can set the right date and time using the date applet
[13:20] <DRebellion> iopk, command:  file myfile
[13:20] <anhdh> tom4ever, no
[13:20] <unop> titanix88, does   sudo -i  bring you to the root shell?
[13:20] <moreau> dns53: as in you want to send the files, from the comp that your running the cd from, onto another comp on your network?
[13:20] <Craskell> is something wrong right here anyways? --> http://paste.ubuntuusers.de/391086/
[13:20] <titanix88> unop: no. Same msg...
[13:20] <Craskell> and here  http://paste.ubuntuusers.de/391087/
[13:21] <moreau> just make sure that the other computer has a 'share' folder that allows read AND write
[13:21] <Craskell> wlan problem
[13:21] <dns53> moreau yes, ether create a tar on the fly or use dd to image the drive
[13:21] <unop> titanix88, I guess you will have to boot up into the single user/recovery mode then and set the date and time there
[13:21] <iopk> DRebellion: file myfile says "ASCII C program text" - now what I do specify in iconv -f <<origencoding>> for that? any idea ?
[13:21] <sluimers> DistroJockey: no, it really depends.. I can for example firefox jumping to 20%+ when I click on firefox, same goes for xchat
[13:21] <anhdh> ubottu, thnks i works now :)
[13:21] <sluimers> Xorg is somehere between 5 and 25%
[13:22] <dns53> moreau the thing is i'm using the alternate cd installer (no os installed yet) so the initial os image does not contain things like nfs and cifs mounting support
[13:22] <DistroJockey> sluimers, that's normal. But you said something was eating your CPU (I assumed you ment all the time)
[13:22] <titanix88> unop: i just set the time a day ahead and now sudo is working... :D
[13:22] <DRebellion> iopk, i would go for ASCII
[13:22] <sluimers> DistroJockey: it was
[13:23] <unop> titanix88, a day ahead? it should be a day behind
[13:23] <sluimers> DistroJockey: it no longer is, but the slowness still occurs
[13:23] <anirudh0> titanix88: first time i heard of a computer having jet-lag ;)
[13:23] <dns53> moreau my mistake there is nfs support there
[13:23] <sluimers> DistroJockey: it's like turning off the programs doesn't have any effect on my computer's speed
[13:23] <titanix88> the actual day is 1, sudo says 2, i set it to 3.... :S
[13:23] <iopk> strange - "iconv: illegal input sequence at position 99155". Whereas using "nano" to inspect the file (though I cannot look at "position 99155", since I don't know where to find that) seems fine
[13:24] <titanix88> Anyway it worked ..... :-)
[13:24] <iopk> how could I see the words surrounding "position 99155" in a certain file ?
[13:24] <titanix88> thanks unop
[13:24] <DistroJockey> sluimers, ahh, ok. What is slow, network related stuff or everything?
[13:24] <sluimers> DistroJockey: everything
[13:24] <Brahmana> Hi..
[13:25] <HappyHater> iopk regex
[13:25] <Brahmana> I wanted to know what all libraries are installed when I do "apt-get install build-dep firefox"
[13:25] <iopk> HappyHater: regex ?
[13:25] <sluimers> DistroJockey: when I hold a key on my keyboard it goes back to 100% cpu use
[13:25] <HappyHater> regular expression... see google
[13:25] <Rioting_pacifist> i want to recompile my clock applet with a patch, where do i find the sources in the repos? kdebase-dev is all i can see
[13:25] <unop> iopk, use  iconv --list to list the known encodings and use one of them .. iso 8859 1 perhaps for us ascii
[13:25] <DistroJockey> sluimers, do you use disk indexing?
[13:26] <kercyr> does anyone have experience with ubuntu-installed dell laptops?
[13:26] <Brahmana> I want a list of libraries that are bundled as build dependencies for firefox. Is there a way for me to get that?
[13:26] <DRebellion> Rioting_pacifist, #kubuntu-devel might know.
[13:26] <moreau> dns53: in nautilus, go to the address of hte other comp "smb//34.34.34.34/<some share folder on the remotecomp> then drag n drop files as needed....or Tar eerything up then send it
[13:26] <sluimers> DistroJockey: I don't know what that is, I have a feeling this might be due to that swap thing
[13:26] <dns53> moreau the alternate install cd has no gui and therfore no nautilus
[13:26] <sluimers> DistroJockey: swap file?
[13:27] <anirudh0> Rioting_pacifist: what are you patching?
[13:27] <moreau> lol i dont know shit about this alternative cd XD
[13:27] <DistroJockey> sluimers, swap partition will be displayed with the    free   comand
[13:27] <anirudh0> Rioting_pacifist: the applet seems to work fine here
[13:27] <unop> iopk, iconv -f ISO8859-1 -t UTF8 /path/to/file
[13:27] <sluimers> DistroJockey: Yes, but looking at Gparted, the swap partition is inside another partition, that can't be good right?
[13:27] <dns53> Rioting_pacifist add a deb-src to your sources.list and then you are able to run:   apt-get source packagename
[13:28] <mgolisch> sluimers: why not?
[13:28] <DistroJockey> sluimers, that's fine (I assume it's inside the extended partition)
[13:28] <mgolisch> you can even have your root partition in an a extended partition
[13:28] <iopk> unop: yeah, that is the command that is giving "illegal input sequence at position 99155"
[13:28] <Rioting_pacifist> anirudh0: i want it better than fine, theres a patch to add korganiser events to it
[13:28] <mgolisch> linux has no problem with that
[13:28] <sluimers> DistroJockey: okay
[13:28] <moreau> can you try 'sudo cp <file> smb://192.168.0.100/wherever.you.want.it
[13:28] <sluimers> DistroJockey: it is
[13:28] <iopk> unop: seems that the file is not actually in that encoding, where could I check the default locale of my system ?
[13:29] <unop> moreau, unlikely to work that
[13:29] <DistroJockey> sluimers, which Ubuntu you running again?
[13:29] <mgolisch> never seen that
[13:29] <sluimers> DistroJockey: hardy
[13:29] <moreau> you might have to add '-o username=foo,password=foo'
[13:29] <iopk> somehow the file is read & shown correctly by "nano", so the charset is somehow readable...
[13:29] <unop> iopk, locale -a perhaps
[13:30] <unop> iopk, how are you generating this dump file??
[13:30] <DistroJockey> sluimers, use Evolution or Ekiga?
[13:30] <sluimers> DistroJockey:  sometimes use evolution yes
[13:31] <marius> hi, kann mir hier jmd mit lirc helfen ?
[13:31] <unop> iopk, if nano can view the file properly -- then you might have to set your other editor/viewer up to view the file in the right encoding
[13:31] <sluimers> DistroJockey: but not at the moment
[13:31] <unop> !de | marius
[13:31] <marius> sry! can sb. help me with lirc?
[13:31] <DistroJockey> sluimers, ahh, ok. Just sometimes I have seen  evolution-data-server  cause 100% cpu usage
[13:32] <DistroJockey> sluimers, that was pre 8.04 though
[13:32] <Circus-Killer> marius: moet gaan na #ubuntu-de, hierdi channel is vir engels
[13:33] <iopk> unop: unfortunately, locale -a only gives the full list of available locales ...
[13:33] <sluimers> DistroJockey: I'll check what's running
[13:33] <DistroJockey> sluimers, and this does re-occur after reboot you said?
[13:33] <iopk> unop: pg_dump dbname > filename ...
[13:33] <marius> Circus-Killer, i know
[13:33] <unop> iopk, what editor/file viewer do you use to view this file?
[13:33] <iopk> unop: it's an old postgres, so the -E option is not available yet
[13:33] <sluimers> DistroJockey: after a while yes
[13:33] <iopk> unop: nano
[13:33] <marius> Circus-Killer, i choosed the wrong tab
[13:34] <sluimers> DistroJockey: I killed the data-server and it's running much better now
[13:34] <unop> iopk, what does $LANG contain?
[13:34] <iopk> nothing
[13:34] <iopk> neither does  $LC_ALL
[13:34] <iopk> nor $LC_COLLATE
[13:34] <sluimers> DistroJockey: I guess that's it
[13:35] <DistroJockey> sluimers, ahh, k. I just removed that on previous installs if I had an issue with it
[13:35] <anirudh0> iopk: strange..LANG should be set
[13:35] <unop> iopk, try this.  LANG="en_US.UTF-8" nano filename
[13:35] <unop> iopk, or your utf-8 locale instead
[13:35] <DistroJockey> sluimers, but it probably prevents you from using Evolution fully or at all
[13:35] <sluimers> DistroJockey: I like evolution though, what's the data-server used for?
[13:36] <wigren> hello all, can some one help with sshfs?
[13:36] <DistroJockey> sluimers, there will be a bug report somewhere, probably with a workaround/fix
[13:36] <unop> iopk, you could also try this.  LANG="en_US.iso88591" nano filename
[13:36] <tom4ever> on system there is CPU1 and CPU2 whats difference ?
[13:36] <Guilo> hi all
[13:36] <Guilo> i am looking for a soft who could print posters
[13:36] <sluimers> ohhh.... calandar and adressbook, I see now
[13:36] <DistroJockey> sluimers, check out launchpad looking for evolution-data-server issues
[13:36] <anirudh0> tom4ever: probably different cores
[13:37] <sluimers> I had problems with that before in gusty
[13:37] <sluimers> okay
[13:37] <Guilo> a big image would be splitted into small pieces and printed on separate pages
[13:37] <anirudh0> Guilo: gimp?
[13:37] <Guilo> I didn't find such an option
[13:37] <DistroJockey> sluimers, atleast you can do it quicker now :)
[13:37] <anirudh0> Guilo: create or print?
[13:37] <Guilo> print
[13:37] <anirudh0> Guilo: dunno about that
[13:37] <sluimers> yep :)
[13:38] <sluimers> thanks DistroJockey
[13:38] <azhar27> guys do you know any wine repository
[13:38] <DistroJockey> sluimers, you're welcome. Good luck
[13:38] <tom4ever> anirudh0,  thanxs one was maxed out at 100 and other at 9 was confused
[13:39] <iopk> unop: thx - will try

[13:46] <Leefmc> Question: How do i find compiz shortcuts? I believe Super+V and Super+C are being used by compiz, but i want it to be used by Amarok. The problem is i dont know _which_ compiz feature is using it
[13:46] <al80> I have a toshiba a200-27c (it's a laptop). How can I know if ubuntu Hardy Haron can use its internal modem?
[13:47] <dns53> Leefmc you may want to install ccsm, this will allow you to see what the plugins and shortcuts are
[13:48] <Kokos> HI! anyone knows any irc bot soft which reads RSS Feeds from sites?
[13:49] <Pici> Kokos: Theres an rss plugin for supybot.
[13:49] <dns53> Kokos write your own, they are not as hard to write as you would think
[13:49] <Kokos> Pici, supybot. thanks. i'll check it.
[13:49] <Kokos> dns53, maybe i'll try. heard that pear isnt so hard.
[13:49] <cwillu> and so, another bot is born
[13:50] <Kokos> perl*
[13:50] <acp_> Hi Im trying to remove the raid that I made in my harddisk Im using the alternate cd seem that I could not remove it?
[13:50] <cwillu> acp_, are you trying to keep the contents?
[13:50] <acp_> I just made raid1 before now Im formating it to create a new installation
[13:50] <acp_> no
[13:51] <Rioting_pacifist> if i install using apt-get source * where does the source go
[13:51] <Rioting_pacifist> ?
[13:51] <cwillu> Rioting_pacifist, current directory
[13:51] <acp_> cwillu: no. I want a fresh install
[13:51] <cwillu> acp_, not dead sure on the alternate cd, from the live cd, you'd just kill the partion
[13:51] <cwillu> acp_, are you getting an error message?
[13:51] <kercyr> can anyone suggest a ubuntu-friendly laptop?
[13:52] <cwillu> kercyr, I've had success with acer's myself
[13:52] <Huntersdead> EEEPC?^^
[13:52] <cwillu> kercyr, dell sells laptops preloaded with ubuntu
[13:52] <dns53> acp_ there is a zero superblock command, give me a sec to find it
[13:52] <Fish-Face> Hi all, I'm having trouble with sound in flash playback, although other sound apps are working fine.
[13:53] <mgolisch> cant you just kill the partitiontable with fdisk?
[13:53] <cwillu> dns53, acp_, dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/<hd to wipe> , wait a few seconds, hit ctrl+c, and then continue :p
[13:53] <Fish-Face> I have libflashsupport installed, but FF doesn't show up the in the pulse volume control
[13:53] <Huntersdead> Does somebody know a channel, witch is used to talk about Wine?
[13:53] <cwillu> acp_, be careful with that though, probably wait for a better answer ;p
[13:53] <rblst> how can i do a dist upgrade directly from cd without internet repos?
[13:53] <Fish-Face> Huntersdead, #wine?
[13:53] <dns53> cwillu that's an option
[13:53] <acp_> cwillu:no error I just keep getting RAID1 device #0 - 155.2 GB Software Raid device while Im trying to partition the disk
[13:53] <cwillu> Huntersdead, #wine
[13:53] <Huntersdead> ah thanks
[13:54] <Fish-Face> Does this (FF not showing up in pulse volume control) indicate it's not using pulseaudio as it should be?
[13:54] <cwillu> Fish-Face, libpulsesupport is crashy unfortunately
[13:54] <orkun> hello
[13:54] <cwillu> Fish-Face, best bet is to install the flash10beta
[13:54] <rblst> how can i do a dist upgrade from breeze to dapper  from cd without internet repos?
[13:54] <orkun> hello
[13:54] <orkun> hi
[13:55] <Trey> Who here likes KDE over GNOME and Xfce?????
[13:55] <Fish-Face> cwillu, is that in the repos?
[13:55] <cwillu> rblst, probably easier to back up your homedirectory, reinstall fresh, and then replace your home dir
[13:55] <cwillu> Fish-Face, not really (they're probably gonna push it out eventually, but they've had issues with it)
[13:55] <cwillu> Fish-Face, it _was_ in the repo's, but only briefly
[13:55] <Fish-Face> cwillu, darn. Is there a deb floating around then? /me googles
[13:56] <jimius> i got myself a brand spanking new HP 2133 sub-note, but vista it hogging it's performance and quickly want to move on to linux
[13:56] <Leefmc> dns53, Can you suggest any compiz features that would cause these two? Super+V seems to make the window full size (not maximized.. just resized to full), and Super+C centers my mouse. Super+V is not controlled by the "Resize" feature in compiz.. or so it seems, i dont see anything bound to Super+V
[13:56] <jimius> but the notebook doesn't have a CD drive nor do i have a server available to me
[13:56] <khamael> is kde4.1 in the standard repo?
[13:56] <cwillu> Fish-Face, I take no responsibility for whatever this does to your computer :p http://nokia.cwillu.com/flashplugin-nonfree_10.0.218.0conn3_i386.deb
[13:56] <iopk> I tried the following: On machine 1: $ nano test. I input é and à as characters in there, save the file. SCP the file to machine 2. $ nano test, but there the file characters are not recognized ... how is that possible ?!?
[13:56] <nickrud> rblst that's not really going to work, unless you've never installed anything from the net on the breezy distro
[13:56] <jimius> so i want to install from the internet, any tips?
[13:56] <Fish-Face> cwillu, lowls
[13:56] <cwillu> Fish-Face, but it should work :p
[13:57] <dns53> Leefmc i'm no expert,  anyone else have an idea?
[13:57] <cwillu> iopk, there's no such thing as plaintext, not since the late ninety's :(
[13:57] <DistroJockey> Leefmc, I used ccsm's advanced search with all options ticked to search for  super  and saw the super+v one altleast
[13:57] <rblst> nickrud: hmm, thanx
[13:57] <cwillu> iopk, we just do a very good job of covering it up
[13:57] <Fish-Face> cwillu, well, I assume it's not so bad that it will hose anything other than flash :)
[13:57] <Leefmc> DistroJockey: You saw it? Whats it under
[13:58] <cwillu> Fish-Face, only because I'm not malicious.  A random deb can do anything to your computer if you install it
[13:58] <Fish-Face> of course
[13:58] <benjamin> Can I set the irssi to automaticly start when i start the terminal?
[13:58] <Fish-Face> cwillu, however, you need to update the deb... it 404'd
[13:58] <nickrud> lol
[13:58] <cwillu> Fish-Face, ah well
[13:58] <erlend_> Just downloaded a file called twonkymedia-i386-glibc-2.2.5.sh, how do I install that file?
[13:58] <cwillu> Fish-Face, honestly, it's easy to install
[13:59] <Fish-Face> benjamin, one way to do it would be to have a launcher to irsii which opened in the terminal
[13:59] <cwillu> Fish-Face, uninstall libflashsupport and flashplugin-nonfree, and then download the tar.gz file from adobe (the 10beta)
[13:59] <DistroJockey> Leefmc, Fitting (window to zoom level)
[13:59] <mgolisch> erlend_: its mostlikely an installer script, which installs that software
[13:59] <mgolisch> erlend_: make it executable and run it
[13:59] <benjamin> okey
[13:59] <cwillu> Fish-Face, and then just copy the *.so file into ~/.mozilla/plugins/
[13:59] <cwillu> and restart firefox
[13:59] <Fish-Face> cwillu, you can just install the new plugin over the old one?
[14:00] <cwillu> Fish-Face, you'll save alot of headache if you uninstall the old one first
[14:00] <DistroJockey> Leefmc, if you do an advanced search for super you will see then also
[14:00] <helpmeplease> I have a serious problem here. I have an Acer Aspire 5100. It has boot problems. I am on it currently. I belive it has something to do with the hard drive because every so often it wont boot and stays at a blank screen and the capslock light starts blinking and the system wont move. but when im able to get to the os its fragile, i have to be carfule what i load or it will freeze up and lock down. so with all that said, is there anythin
[14:00] <cwillu> Fish-Face, 2 months from now when it's time to fix everything properly, having a bunch of different flash versions will make your life miserable :p
[14:00] <Leefmc> DistroJockey: Thanks, i'll have to install ccsm it seems. Is it worthwhile?
[14:00] <erlend_> mgolisch: ok, how do I make the file executable? =)
[14:00] <Shujah> looks like a mem issue
[14:00] <nickrud> helpmeplease first thing, try running the memtest on the boot screen
[14:01] <helpmeplease> nickrud, what will that do? i know i have like 700 mb
[14:01] <cwillu> nickrud, eh?
[14:01] <DistroJockey> Leefmc, no problem. Very much so. A must have as far as I am concerned
[14:01] <Fish-Face> cwillu, I don't know how the current packages work... Is it best to uninstall flashplugin-nonfree
[14:01] <cwillu> ah, heh
[14:01] <Fish-Face> or is it best to just get rid of the old .so files
[14:01] <mgolisch> erlend_: chmod u+x file or use your filebrowser and set that in the file properties
[14:01] <nickrud> Leefmc compiz is crippled without ccsm :)
[14:01] <cwillu> Fish-Face, uninstall libflashsupport and flashplugin-nonfree, like I said before ;p
[14:01] <Fish-Face> oh
[14:01] <Fish-Face> I thought you said install ><
[14:01]  * Fish-Face fails at reading
[14:01] <benjamin> Why is the Harddrives/Places always on my desktop when i
[14:01] <dns53> helpmeplease do you have a nvidia? is it related to this? http://mobile.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/08/01/0142219
[14:01] <helpmeplease> nickrud i got a feeling its going to lock up in a second
[14:01] <helpmeplease> dns53 negative
[14:02] <Leefmc> DistroJockey: On the same topic, is a desktop reboot often required for key config changes? I removed the Super+V from compiz, yet Amarok still wont see its Super+V bind.
[14:02] <cwillu> helpmeplease, the memorytest that he mentioned will check if your memory is bad (a common problem)
[14:02] <Shujah> benjamin, by default mounted drives appear on hd, you wanna modify this behavior?
[14:02] <benjamin> Shujah, ye
[14:02] <helpmeplease> cwillu, ok wil try that. is there anything else i should try?
[14:02] <cwillu> helpmeplease, we're talking about the ubuntu memtest option, not your clicky thing that happens when the computer first boots
[14:02] <nickrud> helpmeplease it's easy, takes a while, but your symptoms are symptomatic of a bad memory stick
[14:02] <helpmeplease> fsck?
[14:02] <benjamin> i don
[14:02] <cwillu> helpmeplease, do that first
[14:02] <DistroJockey> Leefmc, restart of X may be enough (ctrl+alt+backspace) save stuff before you do that though
[14:03] <Leefmc> nickrud: What is it called "exactly"? Synaptic has no reference of "ccsm".  ccsm-simple?
[14:03] <cwillu> Leefmc, kill and restart compiz
[14:03] <Leefmc> erm, swap that. simple-ccsm
[14:03] <nickrud> Leefmc compizconfig-settings-manager
[14:03] <al80> I have a toshiba a200-27c (it's a laptop). How can I know if ubuntu Hardy Haron can use its internal modem?
[14:03] <helpmeplease> cwillu, nickrud, how could one of my memory sticks go bad?
[14:03] <helpmeplease> hell i needed one anyway
[14:03] <helpmeplease> srry
[14:03] <Shujah> benjamin, go to terminal > gconf-editor ... once it opens go to apps>nautilus>desktop & untick volumes visible
[14:03] <Fish-Face> al80, try to use the network manager to connect?
[14:03] <Pici> al80: Try the liveCD on it
[14:03] <Huntersdead> al80 One way sure is to test it ;-)
[14:04] <benjamin> Shujah, okey
[14:04] <al80> Fish-Faces: yes the one on the panel
[14:04] <Dominik> How can I list what hardware I am using in Ubuntu ?
[14:04] <al80> I wasn't successfull with it
[14:04] <cwillu> al80, I think there's a package to use winmodems (which most builtin modems are these days)
[14:04] <cwillu> !winmodem
[14:04] <Leefmc> nickrud: bahaha, i already have that installed. :D. Without that non of this keybind issues even exist because "ccsm" is what actually bound the keys over amarok. So how do i use ccsm to find keys it bound?
[14:04] <cwillu> al80 ^^^
[14:04] <nickrud> Dominik sudo lshw , lspci, lshw
[14:04] <helpmeplease> i think im jamed up anyone read this?
[14:05] <Shujah> The most success I had with a win modem was via wvdial - oughta check that out
[14:05] <nickrud> Leefmc under each of the modules, there'll be a keybindings tab. General has the main ones
[14:05] <Dominik> nickrud: thx
[14:05] <nickrud> Dominik that should have been lshw, lspci, lsusb
[14:05] <helpmeplease> nickrud, if you can read this im going to boot into the ubuntu disk and run mem test.
[14:05] <cwillu> Fish-Face, the link 404'd, or the file didn't install?
[14:05] <nickrud> helpmeplease no, couldn't see you talking about being jammed up
[14:05] <Leefmc> nickrud: Oh gawd loi, i assumed you guys were "searching" for it, not manually checking each of the 50 compiz features for the bindings hehe :)
[14:05] <jimius> is it possible to install Ubuntu through the internet, i have no CD drive nore a server with one. I do have a USB key of about 1 gig.
[14:05] <benjamin> Shujah, thanks you so much! :)
[14:05] <Leefmc> nickrud: Well thanks :)
[14:06] <benjamin> thank*
[14:06] <cwillu> Fish-Face, ah, nvm
[14:06] <Fish-Face> cwillu, heh
[14:06] <cwillu> jimius, you can make a usb key into a bootable livecd
[14:06] <cwillu> !eeepc
[14:06] <Fish-Face> aw bum
[14:06] <cwillu> jimius, ^^^ has instructions to do it
[14:06] <DistroJockey> Leefmc, as I said, I used the advanced search in ccsm to look for  super
[14:06] <nickrud> !install | jimius (there's several no cd methods there)
[14:06] <Leefmc> nickrud: On a side note, while im here, im trying to get btnx installed on my Mac Pro (it works great on my laptop), but i cant find it in the repos.. what am i missing? Did they remove btnx? Or is it in a non-standard repo?
[14:07] <Leefmc> DistroJockey: So you mean just advanced search for the keyword "super"? gotcha
[14:07] <raz> lol @ http://subt1.net/2008/7/16/howto-starve-at-the-drive-in
[14:07] <Fish-Face> cwillu, it looks like the plugin isn't being recognised
[14:07] <nickrud> !find btnx
[14:07] <Pici> raz: This is a support channel, please spare us from the random links.
[14:07] <cwillu> Fish-Face, what did you download?
[14:07] <nickrud> Leefmc apparently not in repos
[14:07] <cwillu> Fish-Face, make sure you extract it, and copy the .so file in
[14:07] <Fish-Face> ach
[14:07] <Fish-Face> cwillu, apparently FF needed two restarts
[14:07] <raz> Pici, sry
[14:07] <DistroJockey> Leefmc, yep, still need to manually check, unless you find the right thing to search on :)
[14:08] <Leefmc> nickrud: Argh, why did they remove it? It was at one point.. heh
[14:08] <jimius> thnks nickrud cwillu
[14:08] <Fish-Face> aaaand firefox just bombed
[14:08] <cwillu> Fish-Face, you uninstalled libflashsupport, right?
[14:08] <Quentusrex> Why is my streamzap remote only recognized sometimes?
[14:08] <Fish-Face> cwillu, yeah
[14:08] <Fish-Face> it's just being odd
[14:08] <Quentusrex> 1 out of 4 reboots recognizes the remote...
[14:08] <Fish-Face> first restart: "you need to download a plugin"
[14:08] <Fish-Face> second restart: no sound, crash
[14:08] <erlend_> mgolisch: have run the u+x on it, but it wont run.. =(
[14:09] <DistroJockey> Leefmc, super   does narrow it down somewhat though :)
[14:09] <xnv> I have some headphones plugged in directly to the back of this crappy computer and the audio is sometimes scratchy. I've had problems with scratchy sounds on other systems and it was sometimes solved by turning the PCM down, but that doesn't work (and I don't even know why that helped). Anyone know what might be going on, or how I can learn to figure out these problems on my own?
[14:09] <Fish-Face> third restart: currently playing ZP with sound...
[14:09] <cwillu> xnv, turning down the volume helps if it's scratchy because it's clipping
[14:09]  * nickrud thinks sound in linux is still a matter of black magic and incantations
[14:09] <cwillu> alsaalsaooooooossssssss
[14:09] <cwillu> grubgrubgrubgrubgrub
[14:09] <xnv> cwillu: Well, problem I don't have any speakers to amplify the sound, just these headphones. So am I screwed?
[14:10] <Fish-Face> cwillu, er lol?
[14:10]  * cwillu was making a black-magic incantation
[14:10] <mgolisch> erlend_: why not?
[14:10] <mgolisch> erlend_: in a terminal go to the directory wher ethe file is and type ./file
[14:10] <xnv> i.e. If I turn down the sound, then I can't hear it. :-)
[14:11] <Fish-Face> well, my problemo appears to be solved
[14:11] <DistroJockey> xnv, the package   pavucontrol   and the use of   alsamixer   may help
[14:11] <Fish-Face> thanks, cwillu
[14:11] <Fish-Face> buh-bye
[14:13] <funkja> I tried to update my video drivers and now everytime I reboot I cannot start X. Here is the error message: http://pastebin.com/m4518c5d0. Sometimes I have been able to get it to work, but the changes only stay until I reboot.
[14:13] <xnv> DistroJockey: OK, I'll try pavucontrol. Why would alsamixer help if the Gnome mixer doesn't?
[14:13] <DIFH-iceroot> how to see the speed from a devie? usb stick, hdd, sd card and so on
[14:13] <Leefmc> nickrud: For reference, apparently it exists under http://ppa.launchpad.net/daou/ubuntu 's repo. I swore it was also on the main repo, but i could be wrong :)
[14:14] <erlend_> mgolisch: hmm...ok, now it's working, but it wont create the directory needed, no permision... when I try to run "su" in a terminal first, I'm told I have the wrong password... always works with sudo though..
[14:14] <DistroJockey> xnv, may present more stuff (or make it easier to visualize)
[14:14] <Dusk_> how can i enable amd powernow for ubuntu??
[14:14] <mgolisch> erlend_: use sudo
[14:14] <nickrud> !find btnx ibex
[14:14] <nickrud> !find btnx intrepid
[14:14] <mgolisch> erlend_: sudo sh file
[14:14] <mgolisch> should work
[14:14] <Dusk_> it doesn't scaling cpu
[14:14] <DIFH-iceroot> how can i see the read and write speed from a device?? e.g. hdd or sd card
[14:15] <nickrud> Leefmc not yet in intrepid, but maybe it'll move out of that ppa
[14:15] <Soopa> hi everyone
[14:15] <nickrud> DIFH-iceroot for hard drive,   sudo hdparm -tT /dev/sda   (or whatever your drive(s) are)
[14:15] <Leefmc> nickrud: I wasn't askin for anything on the last message, i was just letting you know :) (fyi thing)
[14:15] <DIFH-iceroot> nickrud: thx
[14:15] <nickrud> Leefmc I was hoping the ppa was just a staging ground. Not yet :)
[14:16] <Soopa> i have this alias, which doesn't seem to work:
[14:16] <Soopa> alias mountiso='sudo mount $1 /media/iso -t iso9660 -o loop'
[14:16] <Soopa> what am i doing wrong?
[14:16] <th0r> Soopa, why not install fuseiso and save yourself some headaches?
[14:17] <Soopa> what's that?
[14:17] <Dominik> is there a way to configure the Screenshot button so it automatically saves the screenshot on the Desktop, without asking you where to save it ?
[14:17] <Dominik> so without getting the popup
[14:17] <kane77> Dusk_, I would say it's enabled by default (try adding CPU frequency monitor to gnome panel), if not enabled just install powernowd package
[14:17] <mgolisch> Soopa: what error do you get?
[14:18] <mgolisch> Soopa: probaly $1 is not expanded before sudo executes the command
[14:18] <Soopa> mgolisch: /media/iso: Is a directory
[14:18] <Soopa> yeah probably that's what's happening
[14:18] <Soopa> how do I get around that?
[14:19] <Dusk_> os[Linux 2.6.24-19-generic i686] distro[Debian lenny/sid] cpu[1 x Mobile AMD Sempron(tm) Processor 3600+ (AuthenticAMD) @ 2.00GHz] mem[Physical: 1.9GB, 85.5% free] disk[Total: 62.5GB, 29.8% free] video[nVidia Corporation MCP51 PCI-X GeForce Go 6100] sound[HDA-Intel - HDA NVidia]
[14:19] <Dusk_> kane77, it doesn't scale??
[14:19] <Soopa> seems like nothing is replacing $1
[14:20] <mgolisch> Soopa: yeah its get executed in a new shell, and $1 expands to nothing thats why mount thinks /media/iso would be the device or image file
[14:20] <nickrud> Soopa you could convert that to a bash function
[14:20] <Dusk_> kane77, ok it worked now
[14:20] <Dusk_> os[Linux 2.6.24-19-generic i686] distro[Debian lenny/sid] cpu[1 x Mobile AMD Sempron(tm) Processor 3600+ (AuthenticAMD) @ 800MHz] mem[Physical: 1.9GB, 85.5% free] disk[Total: 62.5GB, 29.8% free] video[nVidia Corporation MCP51 PCI-X GeForce Go 6100] sound[HDA-Intel - HDA NVidia]
[14:21] <Soopa> hmm, okay
[14:21] <mgolisch> yeah put a function might do the trick
[14:21] <mcquaid> not linux related but thought someone might now.  My friend gets his wireless network access from the land owner.  He rents the basement.  He now wants to hook his ps3 up to his own network.
[14:21] <eyyYo> what is the terminal command for a reboot? and can this be done without superuser?
[14:21] <ManualOverDozer8> Dusk_ you went from 2ghz to 800Mhz how ?
[14:22] <mcquaid> I said get a router, but then I thought, wait a minute, the router NEEDS wired access to the network doesn't it?
[14:22] <nickrud> eyyYo you need superuser, unless you give rights in /etc/sudoers (do not edit this file directly, use visudo)
[14:22] <Gnea> mcquaid: not if it's associated
[14:22] <kane77> eyyYo, reboot, and it needs superuser privileges
[14:22] <ubuntu_> is it normal that LiveCD isn't fully translated?
[14:22] <administ__>  /msg nickserv identify weihua
[14:22] <nickrud> eyyYo sudo reboot | halt shutdown <many options> are the command line utils
[14:22] <mcquaid> like can the wireless router connect to the network upstairs via wifi and then have his puter/ps3 connect to his router downstairs?
[14:22] <nickrud> administ_ thanks for the password :)
[14:22] <mcquaid> Gnea, not sure I understand associated?
[14:22] <Gnea> administ__: you win freenode-user-of-the-day award :)
[14:23] <ActionParsnip> hey all
[14:23] <Dusk_> ManualOverDozer8, yes..from 800mhz to 2000mhz
[14:23] <Gnea> mcquaid: well, it's mostly offtopic - google  wireless associated ap  and you'll get some response.  Try #wireless too
[14:23] <mcquaid> ok
[14:23] <ManualOverDozer8> Dusk_ how ? i have 2ghz here but i dont know what speed it is running at, how i find out and change it , if need be ?
[14:24] <Dusk_> is there powermizer option for opensourced nv drivers?
[14:24] <ActionParsnip> ManualOverDozer8: top
[14:24] <Dusk_> ManualOverDozer8, write /sysinfo here
[14:24] <eyyYo> nickrud: Okey, thanks. Although I dont get why you dont have to be superuser to issue a reboot in gnome, if you have to be superuser to issue a reboot in the terminal?
[14:24] <ManualOverDozer8> time of possession ? :P sorry dont know what that is
[14:24] <mgolisch> Dusk_: i dont think so
[14:24] <ManualOverDozer8> Dusk_ ok
[14:24] <nickrud> eyyYo its some kind of pam magic (or at least it used to be, I'm not up on the latest)
[14:24] <ActionParsnip> eyyYo: good question
[14:25] <mgolisch> Dusk_: iam not sure if the binary drivers support that at all under linux
[14:25] <ActionParsnip> eyyYo: i work mainly from terminal so its transparent to me
[14:25] <ActionParsnip> eyyYo: you could always alias shutdownto sudo shutdown
[14:25] <ManualOverDozer8> Dusk_ nvm you wont answer my question
[14:25] <Dusk_> mgolisch, ok thankz
[14:25] <Dusk_> ManualOverDozer8, to this chat screen write /sysinfo
[14:26] <Dusk_>  /sysinfo
[14:26] <Gnea> administ__: please fix that.
[14:27] <eyyYo> ActionParsnip, yeah. If i give the standard user rights to execute /sbin/shutdown, is this a security risk (other then application restarting my computer)?
[14:27] <eyyYo> applications*
[14:27] <ActionParsnip> eyyYo: not sure man, if you are happy with it then go ahead
[14:27] <nickrud> eyyYo if you use the sudoers file correctly, you can give rights by user name to shutdown
[14:27] <ActionParsnip> eyyYo: you could always do a smidge of research first
[14:28] <ActionParsnip> eyyYo: i like having to sudo. makes sure you really wanna do it

[14:28] <lollydays> trying to recover some files from my buddy's macbook harddrive. Connected via USB, but whenever I try to open any files it says I dont' have permissions. Any ways around this?
[14:28] <ManualOverDozer8> but that wasnt the question
[14:28] <ActionParsnip> ManualOverDozer8: its a fine system
[14:29] <ManualOverDozer8> how did you change your CPU speed like that ?
[14:29] <ActionParsnip> lollydays: try sudo for cli and gksu for gui apps
[14:29] <ManualOverDozer8>  /proc/ ?
[14:29] <lollydays> ActionParsnip... didn't work. It won't even let me open the folders
[14:29] <eyyYo> ActionParsnip, yepp, same think here. Although I'm making an application that should be able to reboot on command. And I don't it to have superuser privileges, so I guess this is the only way :) I'll do a bit of research.
[14:30] <ManualOverDozer8> ActionParsnip it works. yes, not a hot system, but been working for 10 years, with a few added parts and Nice Ubuntu install
[14:30] <eyyYo> Thanks for the help, nickrud and ActionParsnip!
[14:30] <ManualOverDozer8> ok that offtopic anyhow
[14:30] <ActionParsnip> lollydays: whats the default file viewer you are using?
[14:30] <lollydays> um, i tried with nautilus and with terminal
[14:31] <lollydays> the folders have a white X on them
[14:31] <ActionParsnip> lollydays: try gksu nautilus
[14:32] <ActionParsnip> lollydays: any better?
[14:32] <xnv> My headphone jack isn't working. Someone with a similar problem was told to put "options snd-hda-intel model=acer-aspire" in their /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base, but his computer was an acer. Is there a comprehensive list of model options somewhere?
[14:32] <lollydays> ActionParsnip: like a charm, thanks
[14:32] <nothing> seltsam
[14:33] <nothing> vorhin hab ich /j #wine eingegebn und bekam nen freiflug mit der meldung "Invite Only"
[14:33] <nothing> oder so ähnlich
[14:33] <nothing> drum hab ich gefragt
[14:33] <ikonia> nothing: #winehq
[14:33] <nothing> =)
[14:35] <tobago> is there a way to let virtual box guest access all folders of ubuntu host? i only know the possibility to create shared folders. but maybe b samba or?
[14:35] <tobago> by
[14:35] <tobago> maybe bridging?
[14:35] <tapas> everytime i want to download an alpha or beta of ubuntu i caanot find it via www.ubuntu.com
[14:35] <tapas> what's the trick?
[14:35] <tapas> where's it hiding?
[14:36] <ActionParsnip> lollydays: run that as little as possible, copy what you need and close it
[14:36] <ActionParsnip> lollydays: the app is running as root which aint good
[14:36] <Asathoor> and now I try to set up xubuntu for my mother ...
[14:36] <vesslan_> if i do a minimal install of *buntu (no X etc) and compare it to a minmal install of debian, what would be the main differences concerning configuring the system?
[14:37] <lollydays> ActionParsnip: ok, thanks. Is there a way I can change the drive permissions?
[14:37] <nickrud> xnv install linux-doc, the list is in /usr/share/doc/linux-doc-2.6.24/Documentation/sound/alsa/ALSA-Configuration.txt.gz
[14:37] <cwillu> lollydays, what drive?
[14:38] <ActionParsnip> lollydays: you could chown it but id just copy the data to your local drive
[14:38] <cwillu> lollydays, if it's an ext3 partition, then sudo chown <your username> <path to mount> will work
[14:38] <ActionParsnip> cwillu: its a mac thing
[14:38] <cwillu> ah, nvm then :p
[14:38] <lollydays> cwillu: i think it's HFS+, torn from a buddy's dead macbook
[14:38] <lollydays> :)
[14:39] <lollydays> thanks for your help, ActionParsnip
[14:39] <cwillu> lollydays, mount it with -o uid=<username>
[14:39] <zetheroo> is it just me or is the ShipIt service getting slower and slower?
[14:39] <lollydays> cwillu, I'll try that
[14:39] <cwillu> (might have to be the actual user uid, but usually mount figures it out)
[14:39] <nickrud> mount accepts usernames these days
[14:39] <zetheroo> maybe Ubuntu are getting too many requests for free CD's?
[14:40] <nickrud> zetheroo heh. My first shipit took 3 months I think
[14:40] <ActionParsnip> easier to download and burn
[14:40] <nickrud> or order from one of the resellers, for a couple dollars
[14:40] <shane_> hi, i cant seem to change my resolution when using dual monitors
[14:40] <zetheroo> ﻿ActionParsnip: except for people in Africa etc ...
[14:40] <shane_> it keeps reverting to the old settings ive tried using screen resolution and nvidia x server manager , any ideas?
[14:41] <wib> hi. i installed a new hard drive. it appears in computer:/// but it's not mounted on startup. how can i have it be mounted automatically?
[14:41] <Grey_Loki> Shadowpillar, are you saving the settings to your xorg.conf?
[14:41] <zetheroo> ﻿nickrud: in 2006 I was got mine in under 2 weeks
[14:41] <nickrud> !fstab | wib (add it to the /etc/fstab file)
[14:41] <wib> (it mounts automatically when i double click the icon in computer:///)
[14:41] <poningru> !automount
[14:41] <poningru> !auto
[14:41] <tobago> is there another possiblity to access the host (ubuntu) folder by the guest (windows) than using shared folders of virtual_box?
[14:41] <poningru> !mount
[14:41] <Soopa> !paste
[14:41] <FloodBot1> ubottu: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[14:41] <nickrud> zetheroo warty took a long time, I think they weren't prepared for demand
[14:41] <tobago> is there another possiblity to access the host (ubuntu) folder by the guest (windows) than using shared folders of virtual_box?
[14:41] <Grey_Loki> Heh
[14:41] <nickrud> hahahahahahah ubottu got muted :)
[14:42] <poningru> ...
[14:42] <poningru> sorry
[14:42] <zetheroo> ﻿nickrud: now it says on the Shipit site that it will take 6 to 10 weeks to be delivered ....
[14:42]  * Grey_Loki laughs
[14:42] <shane_> yes nvidia x server has an option to save to xorg.conf
[14:42] <shane_> it does have an option add to or i can uncheck it
[14:43] <enry> what's the difference between ubuntu desktop and server? i have a server cd and i'd like to run ubuntu as a desktop... do i have to download ubuntu desktop?
[14:43] <shane_> "merge with existing file"
[14:43] <Soopa> nickrud: I converted that mount alias to a function
[14:43] <Soopa> like this:
[14:43] <Soopa> http://paste.ubuntu.com/32984/
[14:43] <Soopa> but i get the error at the end
[14:43] <nickrud> enry no, if you have a quick internet, just install ubuntu-desktop with synaptic after installing the cd
[14:43] <lollydays> ActionParsnip: since we were on the topic, do you know how to get a harddrive to mount when dmesg says "Device offlined - not ready after error recovery"
[14:43] <Soopa> i can't figure out what bash doesn't like about it...
[14:44] <Tux2K8> what command hides all windows and shows the desktop???
[14:44] <shane_> is there a way to set my xorg.conf back to default and start as if it was a new install?
[14:44] <Grey_Loki> shane_, on my desktop, whenn I was editing my display settings using the nvidia-settings-manager, I made a copy of my working xorg.conf, then overwrote the xorg that was there
[14:44] <wib> what's the ip of google.com?
[14:44] <Tux2K8> (i would like to make a keyboard shortcut to it)
[14:44] <kane77> enry, there is metapackage ubuntu-desktop that would install the desktop environment..
[14:44] <Soopa> wib: try "whois google.com"
[14:44] <enry> nickrud: what's with the kernel difference though?
[14:44] <shane_> well when i save it tells me it cant access the backup copy
[14:44] <lollydays> Actually, anyone, do you know how to get a harddrive to mount when dmesg says "Device offlined - not ready after error recovery"
[14:44] <shane_> Unable to remove old X config backup file '/etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup'.
[14:44] <wib> Soopa: DNS seems not to work, that's why i need an ip to check
[14:45] <nickrud> enry server is oriented towards servers, most particularly it can address more than about 3.2 gb; you could install linux-generic to switch to the desktop kernel
[14:45] <tobago> is there an virtual box expert?
[14:45] <mchasart> hi i have wifi troubles with eeebuntu nbr 1.0 installed ...on my eeepc
[14:45] <Sorlag> Hello all.. my Pinnacle TV card is not working.. can anyone help me with this?
[14:45] <kane77> wib, for example 64.233.187.99
[14:45] <Soopa> oh i see.. it's 72.14.207.99
[14:45] <shane_> tobago: ive got windows xp installed in virtualbox
[14:45] <nickrud> Soopa space before the () ?
[14:45] <mchasart> i don't know what's wrong exactly
[14:45] <wib> kane77: thx :D
[14:45] <tobago> shane_, is there another possiblity to access the host (ubuntu) folder by the guest (windows) than using shared folders of virtual_box?
[14:46] <kane77> wib, btw you can try the openDNS it has nice uptime..
[14:46] <Soopa> nickrud: I guess, though I have another function with the same syntax, and it doesn't have a problem with that one
[14:46] <mchasart> i can see wireless network ... i choose mine but no way to connect
[14:46] <shane_> tobago: havent tried sharing files yet other than i have a ftp server setup in ubuntu so i transfer files that way to windows...
[14:46] <mchasart> with ethernet all is ok
[14:46] <nickrud> Soopa I'm not a bash expert by any means, you might try asking in #bash
[14:46] <mchasart> is there some eeepc user here ?
[14:46] <bazhang> mchasart, yeah
[14:46] <Soopa> aha, good idea.. thanks
[14:47] <shane_> Grey_Loki: Unable to remove old X config backup file '/etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup'.
[14:47] <tobago> mmmmh
[14:47] <mchasart> so i just installed eeebuntu the last one ...
[14:47] <mchasart> even install i allways can't connect me through wifi
[14:47] <Dvlpr[away]> hm
[14:47] <mchasart> i believed that it was due to liveusb ...
[14:47] <joseph> I installed eeeubuntu yesterday. I had no problems though.
[14:48] <mchasart> but even installe i have the same ...
[14:48] <mchasart> eeebuntu nbr1.0 or standard ?
[14:48] <bazhang> mchasart, best to type the nick of the person you want to get the attention of; if its me then type baz <tab> and I will be highlighted
[14:48] <shane_> How can I revert to default xorg.conf and start over as if it was a new install (display wise)
[14:48] <Evildevil> Ciao a Tutti
[14:48] <Grey_Loki> shane_, restore it from a backup
[14:48] <axenory> I am havving some audio problems
[14:48] <mchasart> hum ok bazhang
[14:48] <rdav-kiosk> this box is randomly crashing, what can be done to find out where  the problem is?
[14:48] <joseph> I just downloaded the newest version from http://ubuntu-eee.com
[14:49] <shane_> Grey_Loki: didnt backup :)
[14:49] <ManualOverDozer8> joseph: how does it run ?
[14:49] <Grey_Loki> shane_, oops ;) In answer to your earlier question, perhaps this thread can help? http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-hardware-18/nvidia-settings-not-being-saved-599717/
[14:49] <shane_> i think nvidia x server settings cant save the xorg.conf somehow
[14:49] <mchasart> me too but two version available here joseph
[14:49] <joseph> It runs great
[14:49] <Pici> Check out #ubuntu-eeepc
[14:49] <FEELL> :list
[14:50] <mchasart> bazhang: so is there any solution ?
[14:50] <ManualOverDozer8> full version of ubuntu on eee ?
[14:50] <joseph> I used the direct download
[14:50] <bazhang> mchasart, to what
[14:50] <Evildevil> anyone can help me? i don't know how to know what graphic card i'm using with my laptop...
[14:50] <joseph> and used an external dvd drive
[14:50] <Grey_Loki> Probably slimmed down
[14:50] <mchasart> to get wifi works bazhang
[14:50] <td123> Evildevil: lspci
[14:51] <bazhang> mchasart, you seen the www.eeeuser.com wiki? or the ubuntu eeepc page wiki?
[14:51] <nickrud> Evildevil  lspci | grep -i vga , or install sysinfo
[14:51] <axenory> Hi, I am having some audio problems.... I am trying to play something (mp3 file) and it asked for codecs. I clicked on search and it installed the codecs it says it needed... now the file opens but doesnt do anything even though it says it is playing(the song) it stays in 0:00 of 3:50
[14:51] <mchasart> xandros is no more here .. i replace by eeebuntu
[14:51] <mchasart> i'm searching some information
[14:51] <ManualOverDozer8> EvilDevil  in terminal > sudo lshw -C display
[14:51] <shane_> Grey_Loki: that thread is telling me im running as a user and not as root, ill give it a try they suggest i use "gksudo nvidia-settings"
[14:52] <axenory> Hi, I am having some audio problems.... I am trying to play something (mp3 file) and it asked for codecs. I clicked on search and it installed the codecs it says it needed... now the file opens but doesnt do anything even though it says it is playing(the song) it stays in 0:00 of 3:50\
[14:52] <Grey_Loki> !repeat | axenory
[14:52] <nickrud> axenory first, try playing a different mp3.
[14:52] <Grey_Loki> shane_, alternatively, rename the file it's trying to write to to something else
[14:53] <axenory> nickrud, I have already
[14:53] <shane_> Grey_Loki:  do you use a dual monitor setup? more specifically separate resolutions
[14:53] <nickrud> axenory never hurts to ask, you'd be suprised (or not) at how many people don't
[14:53] <Grey_Loki> shane_, my desktop uses two monitors, yes - but they both run at 1280x1024
[14:54] <shane_> Grey_Loki: twinview or separate x
[14:54] <nickrud> axenory what are you trying to play it with?
[14:54] <Grey_Loki> shane_, twinview
[14:54] <rdav-kiosk> axenory, try the mp3 with a different mp3 client
[14:54] <axenory> mmmm it works now but thanks:)
[14:54] <axenory> okay!
[14:54] <shane_> Grey_Loki: when you change settings do you Merge with the old file or uncheck?
[14:55] <Grey_Loki> shane_, I can't remember - it's been a while since I had to change anything. I'm pretty sure I merged with the old file, though.
[14:55] <Grey_Loki> *remember exactly
[14:56] <shane_> Grey_Loki: thanks for your help you really helped me, if i have problems getting separate x to work do you know much about that area?
[14:56] <Grey_Loki> shane_, i'm afraid i've never tried using separate X sessions for each screen - just stayed with Twinview.
[14:57] <shane_> rebooting X
[14:58] <shane_> wow it worked how simple was that haha
[14:58] <shane_> Grey_Loki: one more question, how can i make my background not stretch across both monitors
[14:58] <mchasart> bazhang its seems no answer at the eeepc room
[14:59] <bazhang> mchasart, what have you done re wifi and what errors have you gotten
[14:59] <Grey_Loki> shane_, i'm actually really boring and use a plain colour, but if you're using XFCE to manage your desktop, you could probably set a 1280x1024 image to tile and it would display correctly
[15:00] <shane_> Grey_Loki:  compiz :/
[15:00] <mchasart> bazhang: i have no errors except that i can't reach any wireless network ...
[15:00] <bazhang> mchasart, what does ifconfig show; two entries or three
[15:00] <Grey_Loki> shane_, hmm - just find where you set a wallpaper, and instead of setting it to 'stretch', set it to 'tile'?
[15:01] <gsd> Hi, is there someone who can help me troubleshoot my apache?
[15:01] <shane_> Grey_Loki: wallpaper size is different than both m yresolutions
[15:01] <genii> gsd: What is it not doing that you want to troubleshoot?
[15:01] <mchasart> let me see bazhang
[15:02] <Grey_Loki> shane_, I don't know then, i'm afraid - if it were me, i'd play around with the different layout options and see if any of them looked right (auto, centered, stretch, tile, and so forth)
[15:02] <mchasart> ath0 is recognize but  wifi extension not here and etho extensio not here
[15:03] <gsd> genii: after apt-get install apache, I am getting the following errors:
[15:03] <gsd> Setting up apache (1.3.34-2) ...
[15:03] <gsd> dpkg: error processing apache (--configure):

[15:03] <bazhang> mchasart, ath0 is wifi
[15:03] <gsd> ups
[15:03] <bazhang> http://wiki.eeeuser.com/getting_ubuntu_8.04_to_work_perfectly mchasart
[15:03] <mchasart> yes ...i know ...
[15:03] <bazhang> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EeePC/Fixes mchasart
[15:04] <shane_> Grey_Loki:  nothing seemed to work but separate X did the trick :P
[15:04] <genii> gsd: pastebin website is best.
[15:04] <genii> !paste | gsd
[15:05] <Grey_Loki> shane_, heh, cool :)
[15:05] <mchasart> ok thanks baz

[15:06] <Oli``> Is there any way to improve nvidia 2d performance? I have an 8800 with the non-free drivers and firefox scrolling/some js/flash performance is atrocious! Has anybody else had this sort of problem? Did you manage to fix it?
[15:06] <murrayc> Has anyone else noticed that Firefox's Add Exception feature is broken, losing the URL from which to download the certificate, so these sites can't even be viewed?
[15:07] <itai-michaelson> gsd why are you installing such an old version of apache?
[15:07] <murrayc> It just started happening today.
[15:07] <shane_> screen -a
[15:07] <Oli``> murrayc: I know this comment doesn't help but: "it works here"
[15:07] <gsd> I try 2.0.x same thing happen
[15:08] <bytecode> murrayc: I find the exception feature works for me too - I use it frequently
[15:08] <itai-michaelson> gsd, oh...this is the complete error message?
[15:08] <murrayc> bytecode: Yeah, it's always worked fine. It just stopped today.
[15:08] <gsd> itai-michaelson, is there is a slution for the problem?
[15:08] <murrayc> I thought maybe there was an update that broke it.
[15:08] <gsd> solution*
[15:09] <Grey_Loki> Oli``, which browser are you using? I used to have real trouble with flash/js in Opera, but switching to swiftfox/firefox sped things up noticeably
[15:09] <itai-michaelson> gsd, you get that only for installing apache?
[15:09] <genii> gsd: I would recommend: sudo dpkg -rP apache (and possibly apache2 if you have had same error there). Then sudo apt-get update; sudo dpkg --configure -a                then try installing one of them again. apache2 is preferred
[15:10] <gsd> genii, I will try this now, and I will paste the result 10x
[15:11] <shane_> test
[15:11] <Odd-rationale> fail
[15:11] <Oli``> Grey_Loki: Firefox 3 (from repos)

[15:12] <selocol> how do i get my terminal to display big5 chinese encoding in a telnet session? all i see are messed up symbols. i added the appropriate locales in /var/lib/locales/supported.d/zh and i'm using urxvt, which should  pick up those locales... any help? thanks.
[15:13] <shane_> how do you run a program from terminal without needing terminal to stay open
[15:13] <genii> work needs me, please expect lag on replies
[15:13] <Odd-rationale> shane_: you can use screen...
[15:13] <scott_> How can I tell if I intalled the 32 bit or 64 bit version of ubuntu?
[15:13] <Grey_Loki> shane_, why not use alt+f2's 'command prompt'?
[15:14] <godlygeek> so, anyone trying out flash 10 beta 2 on hardy?  it's giving me weird graphical glitches, a la http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FP-470
[15:14] <gsd> genii, http://paste.ubuntu.com/32999/plain/
[15:15] <godlygeek> shane_: if you need to do it, background and disown the program, then exit the shell.
[15:15] <shane_> oh okay thanks guys
[15:15] <MXIIA> Where is text editor located? the actual file /usr/bin/?
[15:15] <Odd-rationale> MXIIA: which gedit
[15:16] <Odd-rationale> MXIIA: or "which nano" or whatever text editor you're looking for...
[15:16] <MXIIA> ok, thank you
[15:16] <jessid> Hello. I know this is going to sound strange: some of you knows if Linux has any application that allows me to generate .exe autoexecutable files that run in windows????????
[15:17] <magnetron> jessid, please elaborate on what kind of .exes that you want
[15:17] <shane_> exit
[15:17] <godlygeek> jessid: yes, you can cross-compile stuff if necessary, or create things that will run on the .net framework.
[15:19] <gsd> genii: any ideas?
[15:19] <genii> gsd: I am returned to the computer now from work. Reading your paste, one minute or so please
[15:20] <inflex> can ubuntu be installed via the net?
[15:20] <claes> Question, possible for me to use several programs like firefox and vlc making sound at the same time, because now I have like the first program uses it has the power of it and I need to restart to make the other program make sounds
[15:20] <gsd> thank you very much for your time
[15:20] <_punker_> inflex: you mean liuke from a flash drive ?
[15:21] <jessid> ﻿magnetron ,﻿godlygeek I recognize I did wrong my question. Here i go again: With winRar I can choose several files to include into a .exe file. winRar decompresses this files into a directory and after that, it runs an installer that is written in java. I want to generate this exe file, because the app i have written is going to be used for people that has not experience in computers, so i dont want to change them the conditions they know to work.
[15:21] <brahmanaAA> Hi..
[15:21] <inflex> no, I mean, boot from CD or floppy with a very basic setup... and then proceed to get the rest via the internet
[15:21] <brahmanaAA> I want to know what all does "apt-get build-dep firefox" install?
[15:21] <genii> gsd: The configuration system of apache1 is usually /etc/apache/httpd.conf           in the apache2 model this is quite different. Most settings are in /etc/apache2/apache2.conf and /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default    and the ports/ip to listen on is in /etc/apache2/ports.conf
[15:21] <brahmanaAA> Is it just the .pc files required by pkgconfig or something else also?
[15:22] <godlygeek> brahmanaAA: apt-get build-dep firefox --simulate
[15:22] <genii> inflex: Yes it can, using the debbootstrap method
[15:22] <gsd> genii: yes, I read that in the forum, just after I installed apache2, there is no folder "apache2" in /etc/"apache2"
[15:23] <genii> gsd: There is a FILE /etc/apache2/apache2.conf
[15:23] <gsd> genii: in /etc/ there is no apache2 folder
[15:24] <Dolunay> #ubuntu-tr
[15:24] <godlygeek> brahmanaAA: it would install any libxxx-dev or other development headers necessary to build firefox.
[15:24] <andrer> anyone know a good way to share files over a WAN (VPN) between linux(server) and windows(client)... samba doesn't work well on WANs....
[15:25] <inflex> right, tx
[15:25] <ifireball> andrer: ssh-copy (a.k.a scp), you can use the pscp client shipped with putty
[15:25] <brahmanaAA> godlygeek, Surprisingly I get this: E: You must put some 'source' URIs in your sources.list Though I have sources in /etc/apt/sources.list
[15:25] <andrer> ifireball: the problem I have is that the windows clients must MAP the drive... scp wouldn't do
[15:26] <thankyou_m> hello every body
[15:26] <scott_> Hi - does anyone know how to tell if the the 32 or 64 bit ubuntu is installed?
[15:26] <brahmanaAA> godlygeek: I ha earlier tried apt-get -dry-run build-dep firefox and got the same error message.
[15:26] <amenado> andrer-> have you tried nfs ?
[15:26] <andrer> amenado: is there any good nfs clients for windows?
[15:26] <ifireball> andrer: hmm... maybe try webdav (no exp here, but I've heared it can do what you want)
[15:26] <thankyou_m> somebody here experienced with abcde?
[15:26] <amenado> andrer i dont know off hand
[15:26] <andrer> ifireball: can webdav be mounted on windows?
[15:26] <gsd> genii: http://paste.ubuntu.com/33001/plain/
[15:27] <ifireball> andrer: I think so, as something called a "web folder"
[15:27] <Vegombrei> hi ..  is ubuntu friendly with all hardware eg.. my friend has this mixer which comes with software for windows xp .. is there a way to make it compatible with ubuntu or do i have to have windows for that ?
[15:27] <bazhang_> !hcl
[15:28] <andrer> ifireball: i will read into it
[15:29] <godlygeek> so, was that a no to "anyone using flash 10 b 2"?
[15:29] <cr0w> which it is the best one client for torrent on ubuntu deluge and trasmission they slow down to me so much
[15:30] <Vegombrei> hi ..  is ubuntu friendly with all hardware eg.. my friend has this mixer which comes with software for windows xp .. is there a way to make it compatible with ubuntu or do i have to have windows for that ?
[15:30] <cr0w> which it is the best one client for torrent on ubuntu deluge and trasmission they slow down to me so much
[15:30] <kiosk> andry
[15:31] <genii> gsd: Yes, that is where it's folder is supposed to begin.
[15:31] <bazhang_> !hcl | Vegombrei
[15:31] <Grey_Loki> Vegombrei, you might also want to investigate Ubuntu Studio if you're using linux for serious audio editing
[15:31] <td123> Vegombrei: it could be, but I don't think it will be. You have to check the model and support for it in linux (google), I doubt it though since that is pretty exotic hardware :P
[15:32] <gsd> genii: Yes, but the folder is missing, and it is not there.
[15:33] <molgrum> how do i get java to work in firefox 64-bit?
[15:33] <cr0w> which it is the best one client for torrent on ubuntu ? deluge and trasmission they slow down to me so much
[15:33] <Vegombrei> thanks ill research it
[15:34] <magnetron> cr0w, if the seeders seed too little, the torrents will be slow. there's no client that can change that
[15:34] <gsd> genii: http://paste.ubuntu.com/33003/plain/

[15:45] <Zoli> hi all, can I get some help? I am trying to install Ubuntu on a Fujitsu Siemens laptop. When I want to start install, my screen gets split, sort of like the image is moved on one side, splitting at middle. I suspect this is because of the intergated video, does anybody know a workaround?
[15:45] <saskwach> Agion, xmms?
[15:46] <fr4nk-k> Agion: works fine and doesn't need much resources
[15:46] <Cheaterman> Agion: mocp
[15:46] <_punker_> turn of the integrated video in the bios maybe
[15:46] <wols> Zoli: alternate installer for example
[15:46] <Agion> thx!

[15:47] <fr4nk-k> Tricky: What does Google say?
[15:47] <helpmeplease> wol, would i need to replace my hard disk?
[15:47] <helpmeplease> wol, could a magnet screw up the ram?
[15:47] <Zoli> turn off integrated video? thats the only video i have, so that would not be an option

[15:49] <kindofabuzz> helpmeplease: umm yeah, magnets can ruin anything electronic
[15:49] <Zoli> whatever, i will google it up, alternate might be the keyword. Do you think it will work with Ubuntu Studio too? its a derivate, supoosed to be exactly as Ubuntu

[15:51] <acp_> is there still need to be tweaked?
[15:51] <bazhang> kindofabuzz, suggesting he lay them on his computer
[15:52] <chase_> How do you change the color of the bar at the top of the window that you have focused? on Human it is the crappy orange color

[15:52] <Cheaterman> kindofabuzz: not helpful telling me to let some magnets across my ram. if it isn't working it won't change anythinh

[15:52] <Leefmc> Question: With the compiz cube, how do you make 2 desktops on the top and bottom of the cube? (ie, 6 desktops)
[15:52] <bazhang> kindofabuzz, please take sarcasm to #ubuntu-offtopic thanks
[15:52] <Cheaterman> Magnets only make floppies fear
[15:53] <Cheaterman> Leefmc: I don't think you can :-/ sorry
[15:53] <kindofabuzz> bazhang: why don't you tell the person who asked about magnets to take it to offtopic also?
[15:53] <Leefmc> Cheaterman: Ah, k. I swore i had seen it before, but no biggie :)
[15:53] <gsd> genii: I know my option is to reinstall the whole OS, but I was thinking if there is a way to fix without reinstall.
[15:53] <Cheaterman> Leefmc: But you can take screenshots and use the cube caps plugin to make them go on the top and bottom
[15:53] <Cheaterman> Leefmc: It would make the illusion there are desktops on top and bottom
[15:53] <genii> gsd: Did you do yet a file system check after the poweroff incident?
[15:53] <gsd> genii: Yes
[15:54] <gsd> genii: Everything was fine, except the apache server.
[15:54] <Leefmc> Cheaterman: Thats a cheat (semi-pun intended) :). but thanks :)
[15:54] <btice> Hello. I'm running Hardy and when I put a DVD movie in the drive to play, Totem tells me, "An Error Occurred: Could not read from resource." The movie (region-1 encoded) plays fine in my home player. I peeked into the Ubuntu book in a bookstore, and it said to check in the forums...
[15:55] <td123> !vlc | btice

[15:55] <td123> gsd: can you restate your problem ;)
[15:56] <enry> apt-get install ubuntu-desktop... 1.8GB >.<
[15:56] <btice> td123: I read that as I need codecs for Totem. Is that what you're suggesting?
[15:56] <genii> gsd: Try again for now: sudo dpkg -rP apache2                then remove from /var/cache/apt/archives the apache2 deb file. Also remove from /var/lib/dpkg/info      anything beginning with apache2
[15:56] <Cheaterman> enry: If you don't like big DLs, go GentOO...
[15:56] <genii> gsd: IKf the post install scripts got corrupted this will force them to be remade properly.
[15:56] <td123> btice: add vlc and to play the dvd, open up vlc and do file->open disk
[15:56] <gregge> I'm using a new laptop and i wonder what drivers i should use for my gforce 8400 256mb? NGenvy? restricted? The ones I have now(no idea, how do I check?)
[15:57] <genii> gsd: The again try for installing it
[15:57] <helpmeplease> what is the fan insie the laptop called that is to the exaust? Is there a special fan name?
[15:57] <td123> btice: to add vlc, go to add/remove, search for vlc and add it
[15:57] <gsd> genii: I will try it now
[15:57] <SeveredCross> helpmeplease: It's a..fan?
[15:57] <btice> td123: Thanks. vlc is a player, then? I'll add it.
[15:57] <td123> btice: yes
[15:57] <helpmeplease> ﻿SeveredCross no special name? you know the exaust fan?
[15:57] <chase_> I have seen 3D box desktops, How would I get it on Hardy Heron?
[15:57] <gregge> EnvyNG they were called...
[15:57] <enry> why is there a difference... aptitude install ubuntu-desktop vs apt-get install, one wants 592MB the other 1.8GB
[15:58] <SeveredCross> helpmeplease: Why the heck would it have a different name?
[15:58] <Cheaterman> enry: Because apt sucks
[15:58] <SeveredCross> No, because apt-get install pulls in recommended pacakges automatically.
[15:58] <Dusk_> power management doesn't show the remaining battery time..it only shows the percantage.is there anything that i need to do??
[15:58] <Cheaterman> enry: Apt is very very bad at managing dependencies
[15:58] <SeveredCross> aptitude probably doesn't.
[15:58] <td123> enry: go with the lower one :)
[15:58] <SeveredCross> Also, aptitude still doesn't do some things that apt-get does.
[15:58] <Cheaterman> SeveredCross: Nope
[15:58] <gregge> best drivers for nvidia geforce 8400 anyone?
[15:58] <SeveredCross> (Ie. build-dep, source)
[15:59] <genii> enry: aptitude tries to figure out what dependencies are required and pull them in. so more stuff there to d/l
[15:59] <joshuablount> Is there a way to swap the command and ctrl keys in 8.04 with a MBP ? ( command = windows key for clarity )
[16:00] <Cheaterman> joshuablount: Try editing your xorg.conf
[16:00] <chase_> I have seen 3D box desktops, How would I get it on Hardy Heron?
[16:00] <td123> !compiz | chase
[16:01] <gregge> best nvidia drivers anyone?
[16:01] <td123> chase_: that was intended for you
[16:01] <Cheaterman> gregge: nvidia glx new, proprietary but very stable
[16:01] <gregge> Cheaterman: You'd consider them the best for a geforce 8400?
[16:02] <Jack_Sparrow> gregge the 8000 series has always been a pain.
[16:02] <Jack_Sparrow> gregge I do know I would really try to avoid going to the nvidia site and trying to get those
[16:02] <geirha> !ccsm | chase_
[16:03] <gregge> Jack_Sparrow: damn! It's a very common card among the semi-good laptops
[16:03] <Jack_Sparrow> gregge I dint say bad card
[16:03] <gregge> Jack_Sparrow: what would you recommend instead? envyNG?
[16:03] <Jack_Sparrow> enable restricted drivers
[16:04] <joshuablount> Cheaterman: Thanks, I hadn't thought to do it manually, was looking through the settings > keyboard > layout options app
[16:04] <Jack_Sparrow> gregge I had some issues getting nvidia-glx-new from dropping me to low res mode
[16:05] <jedimind> There was an error starting the GNOME Settings Daemon.
[16:05] <jedimind> Some things, such as themes, sounds, or background settings may not work correctly.
[16:05] <jedimind> The last error message was:
[16:05] <jedimind> Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.
[16:05] <jedimind> GNOME will still try to restart the Settings Daemon next time you log in.
[16:05] <FloodBot1> jedimind: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[16:05] <gregge> Jack_Sparrow: you said I should avoid going to their webpage, but aren't the restricted ones the same? and do i enable them through "Hardware drivers"?
[16:05] <jedimind> anyone know why that started hapenning recently? quite often when when i log in i get that and get no styles, then after about 5 minutes it kicks in by itself
[16:05] <foetus> Question: what is the difference between nogroup and users?
[16:06] <gregge> There's one there in "hardware drivers" called "NVIDIA accelerated graphics drivers(latest cards) :Not in use.... should I simply activate it?
[16:07] <jedimind> http://paste.ubuntu.com/33009/ <- i get that on login, no gnome styles whatsoever, but then about 5 minutes into the session, it kicks in and makes everything purdy and everything is fine. i cant seem to replicate the problem - it happens randomly (sometimes when i login it works just fine). any ideas?
[16:07] <erUSUL> gregge: yep
[16:07] <gsd> genii: http://paste.ubuntu.com/33010/plain/
[16:07] <Jack_Sparrow> gregge start by enableing the restricted hardware drivers.  , once those load you will reboot and see if you get dumped.  we can go from there. If you cant get any useable screen go to recovery mode and sudo apt-get remove nvidia-glx-new and or sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
[16:08] <Jack_Sparrow> gregge yes, activate it
[16:08] <gregge> erUSUL: : Ok.. i just maybe I had to deactive the ones I'm using first... btw how do I check what drivers I use now?
[16:08] <Jack_Sparrow> gregge Did you already try to install the ones from the nvidia site?

[16:10] <gregge> Jack_Sparrow: ok I'll do that. No, I'm using the ones that i got from the beginning, just want the best, if anything's better. how did I check what drivow? what command?ers I used n

[16:11] <Pascal[Quebec]> can someone can help me with this error : *** glibc detected *** corrupted double-linked list: 0x088953e0 ***
[16:11] <gregge> my keys jump around for some reason
[16:12] <Jack_Sparrow> gregge I dont know how to find out what you are currently using.  BUt I did find that I lost 450 fps when I got the drivers from nvidia direclty.
[16:12] <Pascal[Quebec]> I'm trying to do a movie with mencoder from lot of jpg pictures...
[16:12] <MrNaz> in ubuntu 8.04 i dont see any System -> Preferences menu... has it been moved elsewhere? i dont see any of the things people talk about in it (such as "Hardware" and "Appearance") in any of the other menus
[16:12] <Jack_Sparrow> gregge everything else looed the same
[16:12] <coz_> MrNaz,  its called  Main Menu
[16:13] <Pascal[Quebec]> ...
[16:13] <gregge> Jack_Sparrow: damn... must be one heck of a system you've got though :) but you still think I could try these drivers to see if they're better?
[16:13] <Jack_Sparrow> Pascal[Quebec] I used a tool called manslide to make my slideshow.. kinda cool

[16:14] <zvacet> ZStar : don´t you have Clam-AV in synaptic
[16:14] <Jack_Sparrow> gregge clilc and install the restricted drivers
[16:14] <geirha> Pascal[Quebec]: Don't think there's much you can do. That error generally means there's a coding error in the program.
[16:15] <geirha> Pascal[Quebec]: reporting it on launchpad.net would be your best option
[16:15] <gregge> Jack_Sparrow: clilc?
[16:15] <Pascal[Quebec]> mencoder have an error in code?
[16:15] <Jack_Sparrow> gregge click
[16:15] <gregge> jack.. haha
[16:15] <gregge> ok
[16:16] <ZStar> I have a condition where I can't access security repos because they were giving  me problems
[16:16] <Jack_Sparrow> gregge go for it while I can still be around to help.  All bets off when the wife wakes up
[16:16] <geirha> Pascal[Quebec]: not necessarily in mencoder, it could be in a library mencoder uses
[16:16] <Pascal[Quebec]> oh
[16:17] <zvacet> ZStar . what kind of problems
[16:17] <ZStar> synaptic couldn't find the security packages so I put a # in front of the appropriate lines in /apt/etc/sources.list to skip them

[16:44] <TiredWolf> roadfish: non-administrator users cannot access a raw device file, as that would allow them to read/write anything on that drive, bypassing any filesystem security.

[16:49] <Kasle> I had installed Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy, but i wanted to try out KDE4, so i installed it and made kde my standard screen manager. the only problem is that i chose to stay in ubuntu, so i uinstalled KDE but i unfortonally left the standard screen manager as KDE. Now i cant start ubuntu. The only thing that pops up is a terminal. Does anyone know how i can change to gde? Anyone?? =)

[16:50] <JuanTelez> how can I cancel this to carry on with the upgrade?
[16:51] <Jack_Sparrow> ZStar sep home is the only way to go, however it will not save everything you have installed
[16:51] <summatusmentis> I should be able to pull a drive from a computer, install ubuntu onto the drive, and put the drive back in the original computer, and not run into any issues right?
[16:51] <summatusmentis> aside from potential non-supported hardware
[16:52] <dandoly> hi
[16:52] <Jack_Sparrow> summatusmentis there will be hardware detection
[16:52] <summatusmentis> Jack_Sparrow: during the installation?
[16:52] <RubberHound> Is there a sound-issues related room?
[16:52] <bazhang> #alsa
[16:52] <summatusmentis> but the hardware detection is just so it knows which modules to use, right?
[16:52] <RubberHound> bazhang, thanks
[16:53] <Jack_Sparrow> summatusmentis once you boot the drive in the new computer there are often little issues, but it does work

[17:09] <Manolo90> RequinB4: moreover, I have Compiz Fusion installed... does this Emerald have something to do with compiz?!?
[17:09] <RequinB4> speaking of which, does anyone know why the package emerald-themes is only in the fiesty repos?
[17:10] <arnoldk67> Hello, I have an ubuntu 7.04 feisty fawn system. It wasn't connected to the internet for a long time. Is there a direct way to update it to 8.04?
[17:10] <bazhang> arnoldk67, no one step but you can upgrade to gutsy then hardy
[17:10] <RequinB4> Manolo90 - long story short, compiz fusion is a merge of beryl and compiz, beryl used Emerald as a window decorator, so it's easy to use in compiz too
[17:10] <arnoldk67> bazhang: thanks
[17:10] <dhave> i need some help getting my wireless working
[17:11] <ivanlincoln> aeeeeeeee
[17:11] <bazhang> dhave, what chipset on wifi
[17:11] <ivanlincoln> nem vou reinstalar
[17:11] <dhave> BCM94311MCG
[17:11] <bazhang> !broadcom | dhave
[17:11] <[-Mabus-]> dhave: what are you trying to do with it?
[17:11] <[-Mabus-]> Dhave: I have that exact chipset
[17:11] <Manolo90> RequinB4: yeah, I knew what "fusion" stand for in Compiz Fusion... didn't knew that Emerald stuff... so... Metacity should have been the equivalent of Emerald for Beryl?
[17:12] <dhave> no wireless networks are showing up,but another ubuntu machine w atheros chipset in my office is working on same ap
[17:12] <cypha> will evolution automatically put emails from two separate accounts in two separate folders?
[17:13] <[-Mabus-]> Dhave: Have you hooked it upto an ethernet connection? mine updated the driver automaticly and it worked
[17:13] <RequinB4> Manolo90 - it's all just different implimentation of the same product - if you want some examples of emerald themes, check the emerald-themes package in the FIESTY repos (check packages.ubuntu.com)
[17:13] <dhave> -Mabus-: yep
[17:14] <dhave> iwlist wlan0 scan shows nothing
[17:14] <[-Mabus-]> dhave: hrm, what does your iwconfig say? is the card in Managed mode?
[17:14] <RequinB4> dhave: that link is bad, this is all you'll need - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=766560
[17:14] <kr00l> Anyone know where I can get help with network switch questions?
[17:14] <Manolo90> RequinB4: Have no emerald-theme in my repos :(
[17:14] <dhave> RequinB4:nice thanks
[17:14] <dhave> [-Mabus-] iwlist wlan0 scan shows nothing
[17:15] <[-Mabus-]> i managed to get my BCM94311 runninng and doing packet injection
[17:15] <[-Mabus-]> hrm
[17:15] <MikeSeth> dhave: dmesg
[17:15] <amikrop> I really think hardware vendors should start writing drivers for linux. And I mean all of them. Hardware under linux should work out of the box, or at least, after some point and click procedure.
[17:15] <RequinB4> Manolo90 - http://packages.ubuntu.com/feisty/emerald-themes, combine with the link i gave you earlier
[17:16] <dhave> MikeSeth:  message in dmesg about dl fw
[17:16] <MikeSeth> amikrop: many already do
[17:16] <MikeSeth> dhave: good idea.
[17:16] <amikrop> MikeSeth: But many don't.
[17:16] <dhave> moving to that step, thanks all
[17:17] <bdancer> hi all
[17:17] <RequinB4> amikrop - The problem is that the benefits to doing so aren't always apparent to them.  With windows, it's easy, you get money and a big userbase.  With linux, half of that is gone and a lot of the time you're catering to a group that has apretty good driver already
[17:18] <bdancer> sound disappears after wake up - what that can be? latest updated ubuntu 8.04
[17:18] <amikrop> RequinB4: I see. :-/
[17:19] <RequinB4> amikrop: preaching to the choir... but it's getting better now that linux is enjoying a lot more support these years (coughvistacough), but we're getting off topic
[17:20] <[-Mabus-]> RequinB4,  you could also take into account that Linux is more "user friendly" these days than it was say back in the 90's. making it more accessible to normal users
[17:21] <amikrop> RequinB4: aha :P
[17:21] <RequinB4> [-Mabus-] that too
[17:23] <RequinB4> wow, slow today
[17:23] <[-Mabus-]> I gave up trying to learn linux around 95, there was a lack of community support and people who did use it where apt to shun you if you had questions
[17:24] <RequinB4> Some distro communities are still like that
[17:25] <[-Mabus-]> boom diada bomm diada
[17:25] <RequinB4> hmm, does anyone know how to make a welcome message when you startup a gnome-terminal
[17:25] <fde> !ot | [-Mabus-]
[17:26] <fde> RequinB4: /etc/motd
[17:27] <RequinB4> fde - ?
[17:27] <acp_> hi I have a RealTek ALC262 Sound Chip with stereo speakers on my laptop,Im uaing the out-of-the box souddriver of 8.04 and its working fine except for Audio-out: (line-out / headphone), when I plug the headset the sound still come out in the speaker, is there need to be tweak?
[17:27] <maxim0512> Hi, all. I'm in need of some assistance with a printer setup issue on a new Ubuntu install.
[17:28] <Grey_Loki> Hmm - so i'm guessing an exempt is just a mute, rather than a full ban?
[17:28] <sidewalk> hey
[17:29] <sidewalk> im trying to share files in hardy, but when i right click on a directory i dont have the option "share folders" or something similar to that
[17:29] <RequinB4> I'm more interested in making a script run on startup that displays a welcome message than changing user@box:~$
[17:29] <sidewalk> am i missing some packages?
[17:29] <Grey_Loki> RequinB4, you can customise the login screen's message
[17:29] <Agion> how can I add songs to ncmpc??
[17:30] <Grey_Loki> Applications>Settings>Login Window on my system
[17:30] <fde> RequinB4: hmm, looks like you'd actually have to have ~/.bashrc echo /etc/motd ... but yeah, that's where it usually goes Message Of The Day
[17:30] <maxim0512> I added an lpd printer with a ppd file. When I try to change settings in the printer options tab of the printer configuration app, the settings all revert to their original settings when I click apply.
[17:30] <fde> Grey_Loki: He said gnome-terminal startup, not gdm
[17:30] <ifireball> sidewalk: I got "sharing options" when right clicking a directory
[17:30] <RequinB4> Not at the login screen, at a terminal (I have a gnome-terminal session for a background)
[17:30] <maxim0512> Anyone know why it won't let me apply the settings?
[17:31] <sidewalk> ifireball: well i dont
[17:31] <sidewalk> can anyone help me out with samba sharing?
[17:31] <Grey_Loki> fde, oops
[17:31] <fde> sidewalk: System > Administration > Public Files ? (version prior to hardy)
[17:32] <sidewalk> fde: nope, dont have that one either
[17:32] <FrozenFire> Has anyone had experience with the elographics drivers under Hardy?
[17:32] <Agion> can anyone tell me how to add songs to ncmpc?
[17:32] <warakadah> wekekeh
[17:32] <fde> sidewalk: what desktop are you using?
[17:33] <sidewalk> fde: gnome
[17:33] <ifireball> sidewalk: install the "nautilus-share" package
[17:33] <fde> sidewalk: version of Ubuntu?
[17:33] <RequinB4> Hold on, is this it?  under gnome-terminal edit profiles, Title and Command tab
[17:33] <ifireball> sidewalk: should be there by default..
[17:33] <fde> RequinB4: no... I told you how
[17:33] <acp_> hi I have a RealTek ALC262 Sound Chip in my laptop sounds ok except when I use the headphone the sound still comes out from the speakers, is there a driver that I need to install our any tweaking can you recommend?
[17:33] <sidewalk> ifireball: installing it now
[17:34] <maxim0512> I added an lpd printer with a ppd file. When I try to change settings in the printer options tab of the printer configuration app, the settings all revert to their original settings when I click apply. Anyone know why?
[17:34] <JC_Denton_> Ubuntu tells me the monitor refresh rate is set to 85Mhz when it is clearly not...
[17:34] <JC_Denton_> eh, 85Hz
[17:35] <Johnny> what is the key to bind alt_r
[17:35] <Johnny> mod1 is alt_l
[17:35] <Johnny> mod3 is empty?
[17:35] <RequinB4> fde - ok, now i see it.  thanks
[17:37] <Johnny> anyone know?
[17:38] <Johnny> how do i set alt_r to mod3

[17:40] <Grey_Loki> Usually it's a good idea to make a backup of whatever file you're modifying before you change it

[17:40] <unop> lupe, add the words  universe and multiverse to those two lines if you want to enable those repos
[17:40] <Johnny> how do i replace mod4 with the alt_r
[17:41] <s0|> hello, I am wondering if anyone knows the boot paramaters for an installing 8.04 on an adaptec 1430SA
[17:41] <rogue_trader> is there a kubuntu live cd with kde 4.1 available?
[17:41] <JeanEaccentaiguD> Hi there ! Can you help me to configure my dual screen ?
[17:41] <Agion> How can I add songs to ncmpc??
[17:43] <edmoore> hi all - just building  little ubuntu headless for for myself, set myself a budget and am throwing happily browsing. Quick question - are the dark days of wireless incompatibility and linux behind us? I want to chuck in a wireless card on one of the pci slots - do I need to be careful or should anything pretty generic work?
[17:43] <Manolo90> RequinB4: do you manage to install this? http://newversion2.deviantart.com/art/Intuition-90223788
[17:43] <MikeSeth> JeanEaccentaiguD: on my laptop, aticonfig did all of that for me
[17:43] <Johnny> Agion, did you set up your /etc/mpd.conf
[17:43] <Bodsda> edmoore, theres a list of compatible wifi cards on the wiki
[17:44] <MikeSeth> Johnny: you can do this through the settings of keyboard layout, it has quite versatile substitution options
[17:44] <unop> edmoore, the dark days are unlikely to ever be over
[17:44] <unop> !wireless
[17:44] <Agion> Johnny: no, how can I do that?
[17:44] <mbrigdan> is there a reason why only root can use '
[17:44] <mbrigdan> gah
[17:44] <Johnny> nano /etc/mpd.conf
[17:44] <Bogus8> need an rsync/filesystem guru... seems no one has a clue about my problem here:
[17:44] <Bogus8> I'm confused here.. I'm running rsync -anI on a dir that is a 441g partition mounted using 400g of space (4% free)... the results of that rsync says "total size is 527805686600"
[17:45] <mbrigdan> is there a reason why only root can use shutdown, but any user can click the little shutdown button and turn the system off?
[17:45] <s0|> ok let me try this anotherway, I need to slip a driver in before I start to intall 8.04, can someone help walk me thorugh that
[17:45] <JeanEaccentaiguD> MikeSeth, but with compiz fusion, nvidia, and a bad principal screen, it appears to be another pair of manches !
[17:46] <MikeSeth> JeanEaccentaiguD: i dont have an nvidia card so I wouldn't know, but it went smooth on my ATI X300
[17:46] <Johnny> change all the directories to your music directories Agion
[17:46] <Johnny> and make sure the user is set to your user name
[17:46] <Agion> ok, thx
[17:47] <s0|> ok, when I boot the 8.04 isntall sees the drives connected to the 1430SA, but it doesn't bloody see them as a raid. it sees them as idiviual disks
[17:47] <unop> mbrigdan, yes, the abilty to shutdown has been handed down from legacy unix where only root could shutdown - it remains that way to prevent users who log in from remote locations being able to shut you machine down
[17:47] <AzizLight> I want to make a symbolic link of the gnome-terminal but I can't find the executable, where can I find it please?
[17:47] <Johnny> what is the mod key for alt_r?
[17:47] <jpds> AzizLight: /usr/bin/gnome-terminal
[17:47] <mbrigdan> unop, yeah, thats what I was thinking, given that linux is still much more a sever OS than a desktop OS.
[17:47] <MikeSeth> s0|: switch into a console and use the raid tools to mount the volume [I dont know for a fact that they're installed]
[17:48] <unop> AzizLight,  type  which gnome-terminal
[17:48] <s0|> MikeSeth, how does one do that?
[17:49] <AzizLight> jpds: thx
[17:49] <unop> mbrigdan, well no, linux is just the kernel, you can use it in a desktop environment or a server environment - how the userland tools (GNU) affect the kernel depends on how they are setup
[17:49] <AzizLight> unop: that's cool I forgot about that command thanks a lot
[17:50] <matt__> can I safely shrink my windows partition and grow my Ubuntu partition with out doing a fresh install of ubuntu/
[17:51] <hemanth> matt__, even i want to do tht
[17:51] <unop> mbrigdan, it's the same on windows too - only a superuser can shutdown the machine using command line tools
[17:51] <MikeSeth> s0|: ummm.. mdadm(1) iirc
[17:51] <jameslr> matt__: did you use LVM when you initially setup ubuntu?
[17:52] <Raz0R> hi can anyone help me? i can't boot into my -21 kernel. everything loads ok, except i get fail on starting basic networking. it carries on but when it comes to starting the logon screen i just have a black scren, i can do nothing? please help me?
[17:52] <matt__> jameslr: I don't know what LVM is, but I used the live disk to size the vista partition and then installed ubuntu on the new space
[17:52] <Raz0R> everything works fine if i boot into the -19 kernel
[17:53] <MikeSeth> Raz0R: what kind of network & video hardware?
[17:53] <Johnny> what is the mod key for alt_r?
[17:53] <MikeSeth> Raz0R: try killing X - press C-M-backspace
[17:53] <MikeSeth> well ctrl alt
[17:53] <MikeSeth> Johnny: you assign it
[17:53] <MikeSeth> Johnny: setting up emacs?
[17:53] <Zmax> Hi. Given a file, how can I determine which package provides it ?
[17:54] <MikeSeth> Zmax: dpkg -S
[17:54] <Johnny> no MikeSeth
[17:54] <Johnny> awesome
[17:54] <unop> Johnny, mod key?  alt is mod1 .. so your combination is  mod1+r
[17:54] <Johnny> mod4 is too cumbersome to reach for
[17:54] <MikeSeth> dunno all I did was mapping caps lock to ctrl
[17:54] <Raz0R> MikeSeth i did try ctrl alt backsp but nothing
[17:55] <MikeSeth> Raz0R: then boot the box into no X runlevel
[17:55] <Raz0R> MikeSeth i have been able to use it fine until just now
[17:55] <Johnny> that didnt work unop
[17:55]  * delcoyote hi
[17:55] <rogue_trader> just to answer my own question: I just found out that suse offers a working kde 4.1 lve cd... just if anybody else wants to check things out
[17:55] <MikeSeth> Raz0R: what did you change then?
[17:55] <Mr_Giraffe> hey, i'm using the GNOME cpu scaling applet on a laptop and whenever i switch to battery power, ubuntu forces my CPU to stay at the lowest power setting (800MHz).  what should i do?
[17:55] <maxim0512> Can't change printer settings for one particular printer; running printer app under sudo doesn't help; cups error log shows "CUPS-Add-Modify-Printer: Unauthorized"
[17:55] <maxim0512> any ideas?
[17:55] <Raz0R> MikeSeth network settings
[17:55] <unop> Johnny, do you mean the right alt key when you say alt_r?  also known as alt_GR on some keyboards?
[17:55] <MikeSeth> Raz0R: and *that* killed the X video?
[17:56] <Johnny> yes
[17:56] <MikeSeth> Johnny: interesting.
[17:56] <unop> Johnny, xev should help you find out
[17:56] <MikeSeth> Johnny: restart the box, in the grub menu, press e to edit the boot script (it doesnt save the changes to disk), and add 5 as the last parameter of the kernel line
[17:57] <MikeSeth> Johnny: then boot the box
[17:57] <Johnny> why?
[17:57] <Miesco> How do I check what sound cards I have
[17:57] <Miesco> like hw:0 and stuff
[17:57] <MikeSeth> Johnny: errrr not you sorry
[17:57] <unop> Johnny, alt_GR is keycode 113 or keysym 0xfe03
[17:57] <MikeSeth> Raz0R: that was for you
[17:58] <Johnny> what would i put in an .awesomerc file?
[17:58] <sulo> mm .. has anyone of you Ubuntu running on a macbook? do you also get a lightblue/grey screen for about 1 minute during booting where nothing happens?
[17:58] <Johnny> im replacing mod4 with alt_r
[17:58] <Johnny> or want too
[17:58] <Raz0R> MikeSeth wicd froze the system so i had to do a hard reset. when i came back i just get the problem as described
[17:58] <MikeSeth> Raz0R: either way boot the box into runlevel 5
[17:59] <MikeSeth> Raz0R: then you'll get the console and would be able to fix things
[17:59] <unop> Johnny, you want to remap the Super/Windows key? is that it?
[17:59] <Raz0R> MikeSeth can you tell me how to do this?
[17:59] <maxim0512> Never mind: solved it myself; copied ppd from $HOME to /usr/share/ppd then re-added the printer.
[17:59] <Johnny> i want alt_r to be the super key
[17:59] <fr500> does linux also have the 3GB limit for 32bit versions?
[18:00] <Kevin`> fr500: no
[18:00] <Kevin`> fr500: it depends on the kernel configuration though
[18:00] <fde> fr500: depends if extended memory is enabled in kernel
[18:00] <fde> fr500: By default, I believe Ubuntu turns the option on.
[18:00] <MikeSeth> Raz0R: plz see what i typed above (mistakenly addressed to Johnny)
[18:00] <Yamaneko> which is the best sources.list? 'cause i'm trying to install firefox3 final but it doesn't work... it says that he is the last version (2.0.)
[18:01] <Raz0R> MikeSeth ok
[18:01] <fr500> fde: kevin thanks
[18:01] <bazhang> Yamaneko, for hardy?
[18:01] <Johnny> what is the mod3 for?
[18:01] <Johnny> its empty in my xmodmap
[18:02] <Raz0R> MikeSeth and i do that on the -21 kernel?
[18:02] <MikeSeth> Raz0R: yeah
[18:02] <ptr__> Howdy.
[18:02] <MikeSeth> Raz0R: this will boot you into console
[18:02] <ptr__> So, I'm wondering if there's any way to get dpkg-reconfigure xorg.conf to go through the whole litany of options it used to.
[18:02] <Raz0R> MikeSeth ok is that like a terminal thing? no gui?
[18:03] <MikeSeth> ptr__: specify lower minimum question level
[18:03] <MikeSeth> Raz0R: yes
[18:03] <Miesco> How do I find out what sound cards I have
[18:03] <MikeSeth> Raz0R: if you have never done this before though, this is gonna be.. interesting
[18:03] <Ahadiel> Miesco, try aplay -l
[18:03] <Raz0R> MikeSeth lol, im a complete n00b
[18:03] <Ahadiel> Miesco, that's a lowercase L
[18:03] <Raz0R> MikeSeth to linux
[18:03] <Miesco> thanks
[18:04] <MikeSeth> Raz0R: then you have an adventure ahead of you
[18:04] <Raz0R> MikeSeth will it be clear what i need to do once im in console??
[18:04] <Miesco> Ahadiel: I got a m-audio interface, its using [69364.086386] usbcore: registered new interface driver snd-usb-audio
[18:04] <MikeSeth> Raz0R: not really. You will have to examine logs in /var/log and configuration in /etc/network to see what goes wrong with the network initialization
[18:05] <JC_Denton_> Ubuntu tells me the monitor refresh rate is set to 85hz when it is clearly not...
[18:05] <s0|> MikeSeth, I don't seem to follow,
[18:05] <Raz0R> ok
 no... for 7.something
[18:05] <Ahadiel> Miesco, Okay.... and what do you want to do with it?
[18:05] <MikeSeth> s0|: mdadm(1) is [as far as I know] the cli interface used to operate raid volumes
[18:05] <ptr__> ptr__: heh, cool.  That said, the dpkg-reconfigure man page says to check debconf(7) for a list of priorities, and that man page doesn't exist
[18:05] <ptr__> MikeSeth: err, wow, I'm a retard
[18:05] <Ahadiel> Miesco, You can set which audio card will be sued in System => Preferences => Sound
[18:06] <s0|> MikeSeth, I can only find the option to launch a shell and when that shell comes up it doens't know what mdadm is
[18:06] <MikeSeth> ptr__: install debconf-doc
[18:06] <ptr__> aha
[18:06] <MikeSeth> s0|: oh well then mdadm isnt installed or i may be wrong about the name
[18:06] <Miesco> Ahadiel: I dont think its recognizing my m-audio fast track ultra as a sound card
[18:06] <latoszek> Hello I have small problem. Anybody can help me ??
[18:07] <Ahadiel> Miesco, usb?
[18:07] <MikeSeth> s0|: try md
[18:07] <ptr__> MikeSeth: thanks loads :)
[18:07] <latoszek> I have problem with player mp3
[18:07] <sjovan> hey guys, i was playing diablo II, but i crashed. i did a ps aux | grep wine and killed both proseces. now a little fragment of the sound is looping on the speakers. how can i kill it?
[18:07] <s0|> I have a option in the list to configer MD devices, but the blooady thing wants me to partition disks before that which is f'ing backwards becuase it won't see the raid
[18:07] <latoszek> Hello people can anybody help me ??
[18:07] <mbrigdan> is there a way I can use apt to force a program to give me its configuration screen again?
[18:07] <MikeSeth> s0|: sorry I cant help you any more, never did this on Ubuntu myself
[18:08] <MikeSeth> latoszek: ASK THE QUESTION
[18:08] <Magicdead> hi. could someone tell me how i can change the x-server fallback mode? my display doesn't support 640x480 (or whatever resolution it uses) so with the current settings, it only makes things worse :)
[18:08] <s0|> I am tryingh to follow the manual (somewhat). can someone just tell me how to get the installer to pause and let me load a driver
[18:08] <MikeSeth> mbrigdan: dpkg-reconfigure package
[18:08] <mbrigdan> thanks
[18:08] <drako> hi
[18:08] <MikeSeth> s0|: IMO there are boot time options for that, and you can also open the console soon after the install boots
[18:08] <Miesco> Ahadiel: yea
[18:08] <drako> anybody knows how 2 do a server on ubuntu
[18:08] <drako> ???
[18:08] <ptr__> MikeSeth: sadly, that didn't do it.  I want to be able to specify the driver and display modes, rather than leaving them up to xorg to autodetect (since xorg gets it wrong)... but those questions just don't appear to be *there* anymore.
[18:08] <drako> i really need some help
[18:08] <s0|> MikeSeth, what is the boot option to load a driver off a flash disk

[18:09] <drako> web server

[18:09] <Ahadiel> Miesco, Check the output of dmesg, and if it's there, it SHOULD be in System => Prefs => Sound. If no, I don't know what else to say.

[18:11] <mbrigdan> MikeSeth: uswsusp thinks my swap is "inactive" and not valid. But I barely ever get into swap memory unless I'm doing something rather intensive, so I think this might be causing it?
[18:11] <Gillpy> ptr__: have you tried  dpkg-reconfigure -plow xserver-xorg ??
[18:11] <mibocote> drako: do you need help on a specific issue?
[18:11] <drako> yes :-[
[18:12] <MikeSeth> mbrigdan: inactive means not mounted for use I think
[18:12] <ptr__> Gillpy: yes.  As I said before, since hardy, it now skips over the entire adapter and display configuration stages, leaving these to xorg to autodetect.

[18:13] <s0|> ummm I really don't understand, who the heck do I give a boot option to let the installer USES A FRICKEN DRIVER
[18:13] <s0|> *how
[18:13] <MikeSeth> mbrigdan: in theory it should. Type free and see if you have as much swap space as you think

[18:13] <airspace> I've followed the guides on ubuntu and some how-to docs to get my Nokia E61i to connect as a bluetooth modem. It opens the port and tries to connect but tells me that I don't have permission. Any ideas? (it works on Windows)
[18:14] <Agion> I had sounds yesterday but now they aren't working. Can anyone help?
[18:14] <ptr__> Gillpy: well, that's what I'm going to end up doing, but it would have been nice to have a nice, clean, autogenerated xorg to start from
[18:14] <MikeSeth> s0|: doesnt the boot screen give you options?
[18:14] <Frog42> hello... need your help... i want to rip a dvd with acid ... ripping is working great an the movie is great but i have no sound ... what i did wrong?
[18:14] <s0|> yes I just don't what option to give it
[18:14] <DrGamut> how come adding 'deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hardy main' breaks apt-get? what is a correct line for a source repository?
[18:14] <MikeSeth> s0|: what raid controller is this? or softraid?
[18:14] <BigToe> how do I turn acpi off in the ubuntu install disc?
[18:15] <mbrigdan> MikeSeth: What unit does free display its memory in?
[18:15] <BigToe> there's a custom load option or something on the disc but I forgot what to add to disable acpi
[18:15] <s0|> adaptec 1430SA (cheap raid, since fakeraid didn't work, and software raid was being a PITA since it doesn't like to make everything raid'd and still boot
[18:16] <Agion> Does anyone have a tip why don't I hear sounds? I heared them yesterday, now they're gone...
[18:16] <s0|> honest to friken good How much of a raid card do I need to bloody buy just so that linux will be blind as f**(** to it and just see the raid volume and not the ********ing disks attached to things
[18:16] <MikeSeth> mbrigdan: kilobytes iirc
[18:16] <Frog42> no one can help me
[18:16] <veeraganesh> Any one configured A2DP in ubuntu
[18:17] <MikeSeth> s0|: hehe I just googled it and seems there's a lot of trouble with this one
[18:17] <Frog42>  veeraganesh: whats that
[18:17] <s0|> well is there one that will work?
[18:17] <Frog42> ?
[18:17] <s0|> cuz newegg takes crap back I hear
[18:17] <veeraganesh> I got Sony Bluetooth headset
[18:17] <veeraganesh> trying to pair it in ubuntu
[18:17] <veeraganesh> for A2dp
[18:18] <MikeSeth> s0|: umm it looks like you need binary firmware for the raid driver to work
[18:18] <s0|> no ****, that is what I have been trying to get someone to tell me how the **** to load this crap thign
[18:18] <mbrigdan> MikeSeth, hmm, seems that I do have as much swap as I know I have. But it also seems that free disagrees about the amount of memory in use when compared to the system monitor.
[18:19] <MikeSeth> s0|: apparently get the firmware from adaptec site
[18:19] <Mr_Giraffe> s0|, irc doesn't censor profanity :P
[18:19] <Frog42> hello... need your help... i want to rip a dvd with acid ... ripping is working great an the movie is great but i have no sound ... what i did wrong?
[18:19] <Miesco> How do I list the alsa devices
[18:19] <s0|> MikeSeth I have the firmware
[18:19] <atlef> !no
[18:20] <MikeSeth> mbrigdan: alsactl names
[18:20] <s0|> I have crap, I just don't know how to make the crappy linux install pause for 3seconds and ask me to load the fucking raid driver
[18:20] <MikeSeth> s0|: I bet it's something in the boot screen options
[18:20] <s0|> mike, the RAID IS CONFIURED for the hostRaid thing
[18:20] <s0|> it's there
[18:20] <haelen> Hi. Can someone help me out with an audio problem?
[18:20] <s0|> I know it's there. I spent 4.5 hours waiting for it build
[18:20] <mbrigdan> MikeSeth: that needs sudo right?

[18:21] <MikeSeth> mbrigdan: sorry that wsnt meant for you
[18:21] <MikeSeth> Miesco: alsactl names
[18:21] <Mr_Giraffe> hey, i'm using the GNOME cpu scaling applet on a laptop and whenever i switch to battery power, ubuntu forces my CPU to stay at the lowest power setting (800MHz).  what should i do?
[18:21] <Yamaneko> how do i get firefox 3 for ubuntu 7.10?
[18:21] <mbrigdan> Mr_Giraffe: turn power scaling off
[18:21] <MikeSeth> Mr_Giraffe: adjust the power settings i imagine
[18:21] <haelen> Recently I haven't been able to change master volume using the slider in the panel. Also I can no longer use the multemedia buttons on my laptop to control volume.
[18:21] <inflex> Yamaneko: worst case, download it and install into your home directory and run it directly from there
[18:22] <Mr_Giraffe> MikeSeth, there are no power settings to turn off regarding that
[18:22] <Raz0R> ok im into the -21 kernel :)
[18:22] <Mr_Giraffe> and mbrigdan i like having it on, keeping my laptop on powersave when it's plugged in means it's nice and cool
[18:22] <Miesco> MikeSeth: Nothing shows up
[18:22] <haelen> Also, my cipset and card are showing as "PulseAudio" (which they weren't before).
[18:22] <mbrigdan> Mr_Giraffe: I bet you can adjust it somewhere, most gnome apps have a huge amount of settings that they never show the user
[18:22] <MikeSeth> Miesco: then i suspect alsa isnt loaded/configured properly
[18:22] <g[r]eek> Hi can anyone help with this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=877138
[18:22] <RequinB4> i know about !best, but can anyone recommend a CLI email clinet
[18:22] <g[r]eek> It is a wvdial related problem
[18:23] <mbrigdan> Mr_Giraffe: probably hidden in a config file somewhere.
[18:23] <Raz0R> i have one last problem, i hope someone can help me. i am trying to setup my wireless network card to use wpa2 psk. i have followed a few guides but no luck, can anyone tell me what the problem is?
[18:23] <Mr_Giraffe> mbrigdan, i ran the command for the applet in the terminal and it only has 3 options: -f(requency), -g(overnance), and -c(pu)
[18:23] <MikeSeth> haelen: PulseAudio devices are virtual, they belong to the sound server gnome etc uses to play sound
[18:23] <MikeSeth> Raz0R: hold
[18:23] <inflex> RequinB4: for POP/SMTP?
[18:24] <mbrigdan> Mr_Giraffe: try "man <command>" and see if it comes up with anything
[18:24] <Mr_Giraffe> i did, and that's all i got
[18:24] <inflex> RequinB4: mutt is fairly popular
[18:24] <MikeSeth> Raz0R: what wifi card?
[18:24] <haelen> MikeSeth: Thanks. What's weird is that it's recently changed - I mean that didn't used to show as the chpset (for example).
[18:24] <Abed> i want to convert from wmv to 3gp

[18:24] <Raz0R> MikeSeth im using the realtek linux driver, no ndiswrapper
[18:24] <inflex> np
[18:25] <mbrigdan> Mr_Giraffe: hmm, look in /etc/<applet-name>
[18:25] <MikeSeth> Raz0R: dont know nothing about the driver, doesnt matter, one sec
[18:25] <haelen> MikeSeth: I no longer have all the options available that used to show in AlsoMixer either.
[18:25] <s0|> great, so NO ONE knows how to make the ubuntu install acutally ASK me if I WANT TO LOAD A FUCKING driver
[18:25] <MikeSeth> haelen: I imagine the drivers arent loaded
[18:25] <Mr_Giraffe> there's no such folder D:
[18:25] <Mr_Giraffe> mbrigdan, ^
[18:25] <MikeSeth> s0|: not me, sorry
[18:25] <Abed> anyone can suggest an application for converting .wmv to .3gp

[18:27] <fbc> What log would I find cron job failures in?
[18:27] <s0|> Mr_Giraffe - I would calm down if someone could tell me what to do
[18:27] <MikeSeth> fbc: none, see crontab manual for how script output is handled
[18:27] <Mr_Giraffe> ok, then
[18:27] <Flannel> !patience | s0|
[18:27] <Mr_Giraffe> what's the problem?
[18:27] <Mr_Giraffe> judging by what i was scanning through, it's a wireless one?
[18:27] <s0|> way wrong
[18:28] <Mr_Giraffe> jeez
[18:28] <MikeSeth> Raz0R: this is my /etc/network/interfaces
[18:28] <Mr_Giraffe> well what is it then
[18:28] <s0|> Raid.... give me a sec and I will type it out
[18:28] <haelen> MikeSeth: Thanks for the pointers, I'll investigate.
[18:28] <Mr_Giraffe> alright, well i'll just have to do some super googling then :P
[18:28] <Raz0R> MikeSeth hmm firefox wont boot

[18:30] <Frog42> hello... need your help... i want to rip a dvd with acid ... ripping is working great an the movie is great but i have no sound ... what i did wrong?
[18:30] <MikeSeth> Raz0R: generate the value for wpa-psk field using wpa_passhprase
[18:30] <veeraganesh> You missed with audio files
[18:30] <Mr_Giraffe> hmm, g[r]eek, i'd say you should ask whoever wrote the tutorial
[18:30] <veeraganesh> may be
[18:30] <Frog42> jes
[18:30] <MikeSeth> Raz0R: also, the driver in your case should be something else, youll have to look up the name in wpa_supplicant docs
[18:31] <Frog42> ??
[18:31] <Raz0R> MikeSeth ok so i will not use wext?
[18:32] <s0|> my problem is this, I tried linuxsoftware raid, it doesn't like to boot of the raid, I tried the fakeRaid w/ my mobo. it won't read the volume correctly *(either), and now I bought a cheapish raidCard in the (wrongly infromed hope) that linux would blind as a bat to the disks and it would acutally just see the logical volume. this way I could with my limited linux OS tinkering knowhow get the thing to install without having to fight a gdmf battle.

[18:36] <Frog42> that would be usefull... i think
[18:36] <wbmj> MRcheese: ext2 has a slight speed increase over ext3, however the journaling properties outway the speed.
[18:36] <MikeSeth> MRcheese: you can add a journal to an ext2 partition later on IIRC
[18:37] <MRcheese> is writeback mode more safe than ext2?
[18:37] <katad0t1s> I broke samba. I tried remove/ re-install but it want install properly again. Can I get a clean install again?
[18:37] <MikeSeth> MRcheese: in most practical cases, ostensibly so
[18:37] <MikeSeth> katad0t1s: dpkg --purge <package>
[18:37] <vergil> dpkg-reconfigure
[18:37] <MRcheese> k i stay with ext3 then
[18:37] <wbmj> MRcheese: to get a speed boost and journaling, I find XFS suitable
[18:37] <MikeSeth> katad0t1s: this kills the config files left behind
[18:38] <devcow> sty
[18:38] <mbrigdan> how can I find out where my swap is mounted?
[18:38] <vergil> swapon -s

[18:39] <MikeSeth> katad0t1s: i don't know
[18:39] <MikeSeth> katad0t1s: "some problem" is not a description of a problem
[18:39] <cottima> hello, I am trying to figure out lvm mirroring versus soft raid 1, which is better (faster and low on processor usage)?  Is there a site to go to see on comparing the two?
[18:40] <vergil> cottima: I prefer md raid, but that's on account of flexability on a lot of machines
[18:40] <s0|> Mr_Giraffe, so now that you know it isn't wireless do you have any input, becuase I would really like to be trying something instead of stareing blankly at the scrren.  I been googling away I can't seem to find a guide the acutally explains this, they all skipp right over it
[18:40] <vergil> some may have jbod, others, may have honest to gosh raid controllers
[18:41] <vergil> keep raid below logical volumes.

[18:42] <fr500> hi
[18:43] <fr500> any way to fix pulseaudio sound latency issues?
[18:43] <mbrigdan> MikeSeth, I went ahead with installing uswsusp even with the "your swap is inactive" and it seems that bad things happened.
[18:43] <axenory> is there any non fixable reason that I can't listen to music with amarok at the same time I am watching or listening something in a youtube flash video (using mozilla explorer)
[18:43] <phantomcircuit> Is there a way to import outlook 2007 pst archives (i just want the contacts) into Evolution if i dont have outlook 2007 anymore?
[18:43] <matt__> The top menu bar on my windows is suddenly transparent. How can I undo that?
[18:43] <MikeSeth> mbrigdan: swapon -a
[18:43] <fr4nk-k> Leefmc: You can switsch between several sessions with Ctrl+Alt+Fx where x is a number between 1 and 12. The standard X session is reachable with F7.
[18:43] <MikeSeth> mbrigdan: that should mount all available swap
[18:44] <katad0t1s> MikeSeth, http://paste.ubuntu.com/33055/ I translated most of it
[18:44] <Arnos> if there a way to bring a process to the foreground using only the PID?
[18:44] <Jack_Sparrow> matt__ Sounds like you lost window decorations.  in term   compiz --replace     or metacity --replace
[18:44] <axenory> phantomcircuit, I suggest you look over to google.com ... there should be a lot of people wishing to do that and successfully done it... search in forums
[18:44] <Leefmc> fr4nk-k: Gotcha, so how do you then scroll up in a pure terminal window?
[18:44] <fr4nk-k> Leefmc: AFAIK you can't
[18:45] <MikeSeth> katad0t1s: dpkg --remove --purge samba-common
[18:45] <phantomcircuit> axenory, they all use thunderbird with outlook installed on windows to do it, unfortunately i dont have outlook 2007 anymore so i cant do that
[18:45] <Netham45> Is there any way to turn a dated install of Debian Sarge into xubuntu 8.04? *biggrin*
[18:45] <Leefmc> fr4nk-k: Wow lol. That makes help text.. useless haha.
[18:45] <axenory> phantomcircuit, but arent you using ubuntu?
[18:45] <matt__> Jack_Sparrow: Window Decoration is enabled. The top bar is still there, it's just see through. Like, I can see the exit and resize buttons, but the bar itself is transparent.
[18:45] <MikeSeth> Leefmc: shift-pgup?
[18:46] <Jack_Sparrow> matt__ ah..
[18:46] <ifireball> Leefmc: shift+PgUp
[18:46] <Leefmc> MikeSeth: Not sure, didnt try it :), i'll try it next time
[18:46] <mbrigdan> MikeSeth: Did that, i'm going to try the -r option to force it to use the correct swap partition, see if that works, although I think I might have booted ubuntu with noacpi, so I don't know if this will work
[18:46] <Jack_Sparrow> matt__ Perhaps /join #Compiz
[18:46] <fr4nk-k> Leefmc: no.. try " | more"
[18:46] <atlef> Netham45: why not get upgraded to lenny and then get xfce4?
[18:46] <phantomcircuit> axenory, yes i am using ubuntu
[18:46] <MikeSeth> mbrigdan: noacpi shouldnt influence swap in any way
[18:46] <matt__> Ok thanks
[18:46] <Leefmc> fr4nk-k: Huh?
[18:46] <chase_> can someone help me? I asked a question and someone answered !compiz | chase and i had to go AFK
[18:46] <Bogus8> I'm confused here.. I'm running rsync -anI on a dir that is a 441g partition mounted using 400g of space (4% free)... the results of that rsync says "total size is 527805686600"
[18:47] <MikeSeth> matt__: install the advanced configuration frontend for compiz
[18:47] <chase_> and i didnt get to ask them what that ment
[18:47] <FlashKid> Pardon, any Virtualbox users here?
[18:47] <Jack_Sparrow> !compiz > chase_
[18:47] <MikeSeth> Bogus8: rsync is known to return crazy numbers sometimes
[18:47] <Netham45> atlef: because debian hates me. :(  lol
[18:47] <axenory> phantomcircuit, .... SO let me see... you cant import files because you have no outlook right?
[18:47] <MikeSeth> Debian is serene and hates no one
[18:47] <fr4nk-k> Leefmc: for example, you could try "help | more"
[18:47] <Netham45> it does when you are using a custom kernel and custom X drivers...
[18:47] <Bogus8> MikeSeth: but when I try to actually move that data... it hits the limit of 439g on my destination box (transfering only 400gigs of data... or so I think)
[18:48] <axenory> phantomcircuit, .... because I know you can import files from thunderbird and then import it to evolution and voila!
[18:48] <Netham45> every freaking little upgrade, and BOOM! error.
[18:48] <fr4nk-k> Leefmc: try it, i can't explain
[18:48] <cemc> hi. is there a way to install ubuntu without a cdrom? i have an external usb harddrive
[18:48] <katad0t1s> MikeSeth, sorry but it didnt do the trick
[18:48] <Leefmc> fr4nk-k: Ah. nice :)
[18:48] <Mr_Giraffe> cemc, you can use wubi, but that's not necessarily recommended
[18:48] <Jack_Sparrow> !install > cemc
[18:49] <atlef> Netham45: no chance of getting xfce4 to install on your sarge and then upgrade?
[18:49] <cemc> Mr_Giraffe: i have nothing on the laptop i want o install ubuntu on
[18:49]  * Netham45 wishes he could use wubi
[18:49] <axenory> phantomcircuit, .... follow this web page
[18:49] <axenory> phantomcircuit, .... http://osdir.com/ml/gnome.general/2002-04/msg00043.html
[18:49] <axenory> is there any non fixable reason that I can't listen to music with amarok at the same time I am watching or listening something in a youtube flash video (using mozilla explorer)
[18:49] <Netham45> atlef: I can't even get to Etch on it...
[18:49] <RequinB4> axenory - its a pulse problem, hold on\
[18:49] <atlef> Netham45: so how did you get sarge?
[18:49] <Kaushal> hi
[18:50] <Kaushal> how can i install pidgin on ubuntu
[18:50] <axenory> RequinB4, okaayyy!! finally someone answered heehe
[18:50] <phantomcircuit> axenory, i have to have a windows system to do that...
[18:50] <Jack_Sparrow> Kaushal it is installed by default
[18:50] <Netham45> atlef: it's the most recent install CD I have for it. Oh, did I mention I'm doing this on my XBox? :D
[18:50] <atlef> Netham45: oh, and this is ubuntu channel
[18:50] <fr4nk-k> Kaushal: sudo aptitude install pidgin
[18:50] <atlef> !debian > Netham45:
[18:50] <Netham45> augh, PMs make mibbit go insane...
[18:51] <RequinB4> axenory - this is what i used - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4724433
[18:51] <atlef> Netham45: still, this is not the debian channel
[18:51] <chase_> Jack_Sparrow: can you help me with the Compiz thing
[18:51] <axenory> phantomcircuit, ow .. IM sorry then I cant help you much... but you can anyways mmm doit the primitive way... in case that you dont find a solution... seend everything back to you and you will recieve it in evolution... not very cool and INTELLIGENT though
[18:51] <atlef> not to piss on your effort
[18:51] <Jack_Sparrow> Netham45  atlef  This is not the Debian channel
[18:52] <axenory> RequinB4, THANKS Man
[18:52] <jimymorrison> ola en español
[18:52] <atlef> Jack_Sparrow: so i said
[18:52] <Pici> !es | jimymorrison
[18:52] <Netham45> yea, I realize that, the discussion just sorta turned into debian.
[18:52] <Jack_Sparrow> chase_ Your top bar trasnparency thing..  I have done it but I dont fiddle with those settings much other than cube
[18:52] <RequinB4> axenory: no problem :P  As a side note, make sure your PCM isn't turned up too high in volume control
[18:52] <Netham45> but, on a more ubuntu-ish topic, anyone know if there is a later version of ubuntu for the XBox? The latest version is 5.10
[18:52] <phr0z3n> Hi.
[18:52] <Netham45> the latest version I can find, that is.
[18:53] <phr0z3n> How do you install internet explorer on ubuntu?
[18:53] <tabularasa_> phr0z3n, lol
[18:53] <XGas> lmao
[18:53] <Jack_Sparrow> phr0z3n Under wine
[18:53] <Huntersdead> hi
[18:53] <chase_>  brb
[18:53] <Pici> !ies4linux | phr0z3n
[18:53] <RequinB4> !ies4linux
[18:53] <phantomcircuit> axenory, id still need outlook to do even that >.<
[18:54] <rwg> wait...
[18:54] <rwg> you have a command for that?
[18:54] <phr0z3n> You guys have a command on how to install IE?
[18:54] <atlef> Netham45: http://www.xbox-linux.org/wiki/XUbuntu
[18:54] <rwg> do people seriously ask that a lot?
[18:54] <Huntersdead> Why Outlook if you can have freeware/OS(OpenSource)
[18:54] <Jack_Sparrow> phr0z3n Please read the link provided
[18:54] <RequinB4> rwg - hardcore wine users have to use it
[18:54] <XGas> Theres a GUI tool for Wine that lets you install IE "/easily/"
[18:54] <XGas> Just select, install, done.
[18:54] <Netham45> atlef: that version is teribally dated.
[18:54] <atlef> ok
[18:55] <Bogus8> I'm having problems rsync'ing over some files... I'm transfering 400gigs of files from one system to another but I'm running out of space on the destination at 439gigs... what gives?  why is 400gigs taking up over 439 gigs on another system?
[18:55] <The-Compiler> I've got a strange problem: With KDE, Teeworlds (http://www.teewars.com/) doesn't work, I only get a menu w/o captions and a strange mouse pointer which looks like a windows logo. With Gnome, it works w/o problems
[18:55] <XGas> its called Wine-Doors
[18:55] <atlef> Netham45: just googled
[18:55] <frostburn> Huntersdead, because evolution is really buggy with exchange
[18:55] <Huntersdead> Why use Evolution?
[18:55] <XGas> http://www.wine-doors.org
[18:55] <fishsrc> hi.. "connection refused: 22" im trying to ssh, I dont have a firewall only a router, does my router block port 22 on default or what+
[18:55] <Huntersdead> There are enough Email Clients for linux
[18:55] <frostburn> fishsrc, you don't have ssh running
[18:55] <_victor_> IE..the slowest most bloated browser ive ever used, still has its uses
[18:55] <RequinB4> !portforward
[18:55] <frostburn> sshd*
[18:56] <RequinB4> fishsrc - see above
[18:56] <Netham45> atlef: been googling all week. =/
[18:56] <frostburn> Huntersdead, because none of them allow for syncing with calendar, notes and global address list
[18:56] <g33k> _victor_ : but IE isn't the standard browser in Ubuntu, because it doesn't exist
[18:56] <XGas> phr0z3n: http://www.wine-doors.org
[18:56] <node357> says there wine-doors is broken...
[18:56] <Bogus8> fishsrc: are you trying to access it from OUTSIDE or from inside your network?
[18:56] <Onerice> Quick command to unmount a cd? Says i'm not root
[18:56] <XGas> There are people who would want to use Microsoft Internet Explorer under Linux for web development reasons.
[18:56] <frostburn> Onerice, sudo umount
[18:56] <Onerice> thanks
[18:57] <Huntersdead> Well, it would be possible to stuff it in a email client
[18:57] <g33k> XGas : using wine
[18:57] <g33k> :[
[18:57] <fishsrc> Bogus8: im to ssh into my guest os on vmware, i tried ssh localhost from my guest os (vmware) but it said connection refused
[18:57] <XGas> Then again, I rather run Windows under Windows for that.
[18:57] <chase_> Jack_Sparrow: can you at least help me install it or open it if i have it already and then i can see if i can get the rest from there?
[18:57] <XGas> under VM*
[18:57] <fishsrc> frostburn: hmm okay
[18:57] <Onerice> Hm, sudo umount what? comes up a list of stuff.
[18:57] <XGas> :\
[18:57] <Jack_Sparrow> chase_ Install what?
[18:57] <axenory> RequinB4, why are you saying so (PCM// high)
[18:58] <atlef> Netham45: maybe you can upgrade. im not sure
[18:58] <frostburn> fishsrc, do an nmap -p 22 hostname/ip
[18:58] <chase_> Jack_Sparrow: compiz
[18:58] <RequinB4> axenory: it can sometimes cause low sound quality.  you'll know it if it happens
[18:58] <frostburn> Onerice, you want to unmount a drive or just eject a cd?
[18:58] <Huntersdead> After all, the source of those clients is Opensource. Maybe I'll look at it someday and try to understand it xD In 5 years or so...
[18:58] <Onerice> frostburn: eject
[18:58] <Jack_Sparrow> chase_ Install ccsm  sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager Next go to system...pref..advanced desktop effects....  On the first page  put check next to rotate cube and desktop cube.. dbl click general options... up closer to the top...  click on desktop size  and set them to 4, 1 and 1  top to bottom... ctrl+alt+(Left Mouse Button) then move mouse
[18:59] <node357> can't you just use sudo eject
[18:59] <frostburn> Onerice, use the command eject
[18:59] <chase_> so i type in the terminal Install ccsm sudo apt....
[18:59] <chase_> or
[18:59] <Onerice> thanks frostburn!
[18:59] <chase_> sudo apt-get
[18:59] <Huntersdead> Onerice, isn't there a botton by your Cd-drive?
[18:59] <Pici> chase_: sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager
[18:59] <atlef> Netham45: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xbox
[18:59] <RequinB4> Jack_Sparrow - that right there should be in a ! message
[19:00] <Huntersdead> That's much easier than typing something....
[19:00] <Jack_Sparrow> !cube

[19:01] <RequinB4> axenory - no, what i'm saying is that some (20% i've seen) have bad sound quality with it up - if you don't you're fine
[19:01] <Huntersdead> jose,  wich drivers have you installed?
[19:01] <jose> the latest one
[19:02] <rww> rwg: you can't
[19:02] <Huntersdead> From where?
[19:02] <jose> NVIDIA-Linux-x86-173.14.12-pkg1.run
[19:02] <dusty> Anyone ?
[19:02] <jose> I ran the drivers
[19:02] <jose> but now I get 800 x 600
[19:02] <Jack_Sparrow> jose I can try
[19:02] <frostburn> rww, ubuntu isn't compiled for the z80
[19:02] <jose> please help me
[19:02] <Pici> dusty: How did you install ubuntu?
[19:02] <rwg> rww: your nick is too similar to mine.
[19:02] <rwg> :P
[19:02] <dusty> Pici, No ideas it was given to me on a VPS system (e.g. openvz and I got give root login to the guest).
[19:02] <Jack_Sparrow> jose first off can you get to a terminal window
[19:03] <dusty> So I assume its an openvz image of ubuntu 8, with NOTHING installed apart from the base.
[19:03] <gescape> hi, can anyone tell where to setup gdm so it will start automatically?
[19:03] <atlef> whoho, i got two wingames running under wine, and with joystick fully functioning
[19:03] <atlef> :-)
[19:03] <gescape> I had gdm default, installed kde4, played around, unistalled kde4 and now my gdm does not start automatically :(
[19:04] <Arnos> whats the easiest way to MAKE a zombie process?
[19:04] <Huntersdead> Fine for you atlef, i bet uve gotan nvidia  right?^
[19:04] <atlef> Huntersdead: yep
[19:04] <gescape> can't find inittab in ubuntu :(
[19:04] <chase_> Jack_Sparrow: do you know how i can change the key bindings?
[19:04] <fishsrc> frostburn: okay I did it from my main os ubuntu in console and ip being the guest os http://pastebin.com/m6b7c283
[19:04] <FalseProphet> I got a ipod touch and I don't like the software installed on it
[19:04] <kaktuskatta> Hey! I need help regarding the message "invalid partition table" upon boot
[19:05] <FalseProphet> is it possible to install ubuntu with myth tv?
[19:05] <jose> ok
[19:05] <jose> im with terminal window opened
[19:05] <atlef> Huntersdead: and to get my joystick, i used jcal
[19:05] <Jack_Sparrow> chase_ I only did it once.. general settings last tab or somthing.  but I honestly dont remember
[19:05] <gescape> where in ubuntu setup gdm as default?
[19:05] <Arnos> FalseProphet: Try Mythbuntu
[19:05] <Jack_Sparrow> !who > jose
[19:05] <frostburn> fishsrc, check on device 192.168.0.190 if ssh is running, ps -ef|grep sshd
[19:05] <FalseProphet> but can it be installed on the touch?
[19:05] <Sylphid> gescape, i think sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm should do it
[19:05] <kaktuskatta> I checked out /etc/fstab only to find that the windows partition seems to be missing
[19:05] <chase_> Jack_Sparrow: thank you for your time
[19:05] <Huntersdead> Damn, i've ati, those things don't really work properly. I can play games but they are so slow, it's a desaster. If i want the Ati treiber, it says to restart, guess what than happens.
[19:05] <recon> What would be the consequences of removing everything that ubuntu-desktop doesn't depend on? Would it break the system?
[19:06] <Jack_Sparrow> chase_ np
[19:06] <Arnos> FalseProphet: No, Idea, never tried it
[19:06] <samurroud> ironlord
[19:06] <atlef> Huntersdead: did you use envy or ?
[19:06] <Jack_Sparrow> jose here is what little I know so far  From terminal: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras && sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-new && sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings... Drop to a terminal using Ctrl-Alt-F2 .. log in then enter your password...sudo nvidia-xconfig ... sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg ...  and reboot
[19:06] <kaktuskatta> Anyone here with good experience regarding disk problems?
[19:06] <samurroud> Alguem ke fale portugues'??
[19:06] <gescape> Sylphid, thx :) shutdown -r :)
[19:06] <Jack_Sparrow> !pt > samurroud
[19:07] <Sylphid> gescape,  ctrl + alt + backspace
[19:07] <Sylphid> gescape, just need to restart X
[19:07] <RequinB4> recon - EVERYTHING?  yes... you know, the kernel is kinda important...
[19:07] <Huntersdead> no. It starts till a little box that says the grafik cards not detected. Then i give it in manully and then, then i have the best grafiks ever: 800x600 and cant get it better
[19:07] <recon> RequinB4: ubuntu-desktop doesn't depend on the kernel? Huh.
[19:07] <rwg> Kernels are overrated :P
[19:07] <Jack_Sparrow> Huntersdead nvidia?
[19:08] <rwg> yeah, Ubuntu didn't like my 8800GT
[19:08] <phr0z3n> kernels are overrated.
[19:08] <Huntersdead> Jack_Sparrow: No, ATI Radeon x1950 series.
[19:08] <araen> hello :)
[19:08] <atlef> Huntersdead: arrghh, i know how that is, but my card is a nvidia and it works now
[19:08] <Jack_Sparrow> rwg I know..
[19:08] <recon> I don't suppose there is any other way to restore my install to factory default without using an install CD, then.
[19:08] <rwg> it made me sad
[19:09] <gescape> Sylphid, it does not work
[19:09] <Huntersdead> atlef: Yes. But I am GLAD i could get Guild Wars installed WITHOUT killing my system
[19:09] <gescape> Sylphid, it simply does not load gdm
[19:09] <Jack_Sparrow> rwg I have gotten some good results, but seems like a battle each time
[19:09] <araen> can I install a scan (epson stylus dx3800) on my computer ?
[19:09] <Huntersdead> last 3 times till wine 1.1.2 it always got  killed.
[19:09] <Linus`> hey
[19:09] <gescape> Sylphid, it just reloaded a config for gdm
[19:09] <rwg> Jack_Sparrow: I gave up on putting Ubuntu on my desktop
[19:09] <rwg> just because of that
[19:09] <fishsrc> frostburn: i cant.. since | isnt on my keyboard within the guest.. long story, bu i just compiled openssh from source withing my gues os
[19:09] <coz_> araen,  do you have the sanner there already?
[19:09] <gescape> I remember in redhat you could set it up in inittab
[19:09] <fishsrc> frostburn: so i dont think ssh is running
[19:09] <Linus`> how to change keyboard layout from console?
[19:09] <Sylphid> gescape, 1 sec
[19:09] <gescape> can't see it in ubuntu :(
[19:09] <atlef> Huntersdead: :-)
[19:09] <Linus`> i'm having some troubles with this
[19:10] <Huntersdead> since wine 1.1.2 it works. But well. The frames are all like all 10 sek 1frame
[19:10] <araen> coz_: yes but i don't know if it's install or not
[19:10] <frostburn> fishsrc, no pipe? heh, k try /etc/init.d/sshd start  hopefully that will work
[19:10] <geirha> recon: what exactly do you want to reset?
[19:10] <Huntersdead> It dosent really makes fun playin
[19:10] <coz_> araen, ok stick something in it then go to Applicatioins/grahpics and open xsane
[19:10] <s0|> anyone?
[19:10] <atlef> Huntersdead: well, who installs <Linux to play :-)
[19:11] <recon> geirha: Basically, restore all installed packages to just what the CD installed and remove the rest I've manually installed.
[19:11] <rww> fishsrc: I feel your pain. My pipe key is broken :(
[19:11] <coz_> araen, if it is installed xsane will open if not xsane will not open
[19:11] <recon> geirha: I usually just use the install CD, but the CD drive broke.

[19:11] <Sylphid> gescape, can you check if /etc/init.d/gdm exists
[19:11] <Huntersdead> I do. I had enough of windows, cause all 3 days i needet to install my wlan new.

[19:11] <bazhang> !pt
[19:11] <atlef> !anyone | samurroud:
[19:11] <geirha> recon: ah, aptitude should have a way of displaying such packages. Need to consult the doc though
[19:12] <face-shot> So I was wondering: how common are viruses on Linux? Assuming that I'm only dealing with binaries, and they happen to have some malicious code, does the "sudo" system protect me from something like this?
[19:12] <Huntersdead> I don't like these bugs. Microsoft dosn't really give a good support. I dont really use Linux to play. I use it for minor things - like cheking emails
[19:12] <araen> coz_: i don't understan
[19:12] <araen> d
[19:13] <gescape> Sylphid, yes it exists
[19:13] <cypherdelic> Does a 64bit-Driver/Firmware for MSI Digivox mini III exist? MSI official driver withot sources gave "Invalid module format" any suggestions?
[19:13] <Huntersdead> But it gets boring playing pacman.. :-)
[19:13] <fishsrc> frostburn: heh frostburn heh i dont have init at all, since im trying to compile a linux from scratching, within my guest. thats why i need to ssh from ubuntu - guest so i can copy and paste
[19:13] <Sylphid> what is in /etc/X11/default-display-manager
[19:13] <Sylphid> gescape, what is in /etc/X11/default-display-manager
[19:13] <atlef> Huntersdead: well, get older games. I have max payne and bf1942 and hl2 running just fine.
[19:13] <coz_> araen, ok what scanner do you have
[19:13] <FalseProphet> Hey guys I heard  if I run rm -rf/ it makes my system run faster
[19:13] <gescape> Sylphid, simply after a reboot I get a text login prompt, I log in type gdm and it works
[19:13] <gescape> :)
[19:13] <Dusk_> how can i remove rt73usb firmware from the kernel?? i want to install with ndsiwrapper
[19:14] <Huntersdead> Guild wars is old- at least proph
[19:14] <FalseProphet> but are there any side effects?
[19:14] <bazhang> FalseProphet, dont joke about that
[19:14] <gescape> Sylphid, /usr/sbin/gdm
[19:14] <atlef> Huntersdead: does it work, or is it choppy
[19:14] <Dusk_> how can i remove rt73usb firmware from the kernel?? i want to install with ndsiwrapper
[19:14] <gescape> Sylphid, it happened after I removed kde4 :(
[19:14] <araen> coz_: epson stylus dx3800 or 3850
[19:15] <araen> (it's same)
[19:15] <Huntersdead> It works. I told you a new frame in magic 10 sec.
[19:15] <Thorn> Hi. After updating to 8.04, my sound no longer works. There are also no sound cards in /dev/... Is this a common fault? My (onboard) sound card is an Intel-HDA.
[19:15] <gescape> Sylphid, so I presume kde did overwrite the default window manager
[19:15] <atlef> Huntersdead: ok, sorry, large channel
[19:15] <Huntersdead> np
[19:15] <Sylphid> gescape, so X is not starting at all
[19:16] <gescape> Sylphid, looks like

[19:16] <geirha> recon: doesn't seem like it has an option for it afterall, must have misread last time. Sorry :/
[19:16] <atlef> Huntersdead: did you go through this? http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=9194
[19:17] <recon> geirha: meh.
[19:17] <gescape> Sylphid, weird... just checked services and gdm is selected to start at boot
[19:17] <nixnoob> !br | _Oxydron_
[19:17] <haelen> My chipset and card are showing as "PulseAudio" in alsamixer. This didn't used to be the case (Have Intel HD chipset). I'm not sure how it changed, but it's hampering my audio. How can I change it?
[19:17] <_Oxydron_> ok thx
[19:17] <coz_> araen,   not sure but from my search on google that should work on ubuntu hardy   it did work on gutsy
[19:17] <dusty> perl: warning: Setting locale failed. <-- how do I fix these errors ?
[19:17] <dusty> I Get it when I run apt-get
[19:17] <Huntersdead> atlef: yes. But i didnt find a real suggestion
[19:17] <geirha> recon: you could install virtual-box, and install ubuntu from an iso-image, then compare installed packages I guess
[19:17] <araen> you mean that on hardy it's ok ?
[19:17] <geirha> recon: virtualbox-ose I mean
[19:17] <araen> (i don't understand very well)
[19:17] <recon> geirha: ...you know, I think i'm just going to manually look through the packages if that's the only other option.
[19:18] <Sylphid> gescape, look in /etc/rc2.d
[19:18] <atlef> Huntersdead: sorry, then i have streched as much as i can.
[19:18] <tieTYT> how do I go backwards from ctrl+r?
[19:18] <Sylphid> does a symlink exist for S10xserver-xorg-input-wacom
[19:18] <Sylphid> and S30gdm
[19:18] <Huntersdead> No problem - I'll just wait untill wine ver 1.1.3 - maybe it gets better then
[19:18] <atlef> Huntersdead: but any feedback is better then any, right
[19:19] <jimmygoon> What is ubiquity written in?
[19:19] <Huntersdead> Yep
[19:19] <eyemean> hi there, anyone have problems with ubuntu starting after updating with most recent updates?
[19:19] <kaktuskatta> I need help with MBR! Anyone?
[19:19] <LinuxIST> is xaraya any good?
[19:20] <geirha> recon: come to think of it. Ubuntu only installs packages from the main-repository, so you could search for installed packages from universe and multiverse
[19:20] <Huntersdead> Maybe A-Net thinks forward next time and makes a Linux-Gw2 too.
[19:20] <recon> geirha: meh.
[19:20] <araen> it's ok, my scan works :D
[19:20] <el_ruso> hi guys, i've exported my gpg key and formatted my PC, but when i try to import my gpg key, it placed in "other keys" in Seahorse, how can i fix it?
[19:20] <atlef> eyemean: today?=
[19:21] <eyemean> since yesterday to be honest atlef
[19:21] <atlef> eyemean: well i just checked now
[19:21] <corinth> I installed KDE 4 through apt-get install kubuntu-kde4-desktop, or whatever it is, but now I want to uninstall all the packages it installed. How do I do this?
[19:21] <wishie> is there a 'nice' way i can test a few packages from intrepid ?
[19:21] <atlef> eyemean: i do not do automatic updates
[19:22] <eyemean> atlef, i installed ubuntu yesterday then did used repo driver for radeon 9550 then updated and ubuntu wouldnt start up
[19:22] <geirha> recon: aptitude search ~i~sverse
[19:22] <chase_> Jack_Sparrow: I was messing around with the program and I found out were it was, When i changed the key config it said that something else already had the same key bindings
[19:22] <eyemean> atlef,  what updates do u do?
[19:22] <DrGamut> [10:14] <Agion> I had sounds yesterday but now they aren't working. Can anyone help?
[19:22] <DrGamut> [10:14] * hfsdo_ (n=hfsdo@106.6-200-80.adsl-dyn.isp.belgacom.be) has joined #ubuntu
[19:22] <DrGamut> [10:14] <ptr__> Gillpy: well, that's what I'm going to end up doing, but it would have been nice to have a nice, clean, a
[19:22] <chase_> Jack_Sparrow: I disabled the old one and it wasnt the smartest thing to do
[19:23] <atlef> eyemean: i do manually update and read through the changes.
[19:23] <fallenhope> /etc/apt/source.list http.us.debian.org/debian sid main
[19:23] <fallenhope> is it okay for adding that?
[19:23] <chase_> can you go and try to change it and It will tell you what has the same config and tell me what it was so that i can change it back?
[19:23] <fisshss> frostburn: you still here? I have ssh up and running as a daemon, init was in rc path, but when i try to ssh it says wrong password but i never supplied one?
[19:23] <Huntersdead> Is there a linux rollplay / ego-shooter game that works smove with a OpenAl treiber?
[19:24] <Huntersdead> *GL
[19:24] <eyemean> ok atlef , cheers
[19:24] <atlef> eyemean: you are more then welcome.
[19:24] <Pici> Huntersdead: egoboo perhaps?
[19:24] <atlef> eyemean: what does your screen say when you boot up
[19:24] <Huntersdead> Dont know it, try to find it now ;)
[19:24] <Bruners> how big should i make my swap partition ?
[19:25] <chase_> Can someone with Compiz help me?
[19:25] <geirha> Bruners: two times your RAM is a good rule of thumb
[19:25] <Huntersdead> Pici: Found it
[19:25] <atlef> Bruners: what amount of ram do you have?
[19:25] <eyemean> at the moment its fine, because i reinstalled, but im afraid to even update or even use repositry driver.  usually just get black screen
[19:25] <eyemean> atlef,
[19:25] <wishie> 2 times my ram ? thats insane!
[19:25] <Bruners> geirha, atlef: 1GiB ram so make it 2GiB swap then ?
[19:26] <Chousuke> nah
[19:26] <lufis> Anyone used Dell's firmware updater for linux? i can't get it to work
[19:26] <chase_> Can someone with Compiz help me?
[19:26] <eyemean> should swap be 2 times the ram? i got 2 gig ram but set swap to 1.5 gig
[19:26] <Chousuke> 2xRAM is outdated advice
[19:26] <atlef> eyemean: did you use the envy or the other?
[19:26] <rww> !swap
[19:26] <Chousuke> eyemean: no.
[19:26] <lufis> eyemean: that's really rather excessive, if you have 2 gigs
[19:26] <wishie> id have 8gb swap then.. thats insane! no way
[19:26] <atlef> Bruners: what work do you do on your machine
[19:26] <geirha> Bruners: same as I have
[19:26] <Chousuke> wishie: you need maybe 200MB of swap :P
[19:27] <wishie> Chousuke: i dont have ANY on that machine.. heh
[19:27] <rww> On some systems with >2GB of RAM, I've just turned off swap altogether, with no negative effect =/
[19:27] <Huntersdead> Wow, Egoboo runs wih 1 frame all 5 seconds
[19:27] <eyemean> no used the driver that ubuntu reccomends atlef
[19:27] <wishie> i think i have 256mb swap on this lappy. its got 2gb ram in it
[19:27] <Chousuke> Or if you have a laptop, swap should be bit more than your RAM.
[19:27] <osxdude> heh wishie
[19:27] <Bruners> atlef: surfing the web and watching movies, and once a week i play some warcraft
[19:27] <lufis> eyemean: Unless you're doing some really memory-intensive computing, 2 gigs of physical memory plus maybe 250-500 MB of swap would be a good balance
[19:27] <Pici> Huntersdead: I've never figured out how to play it, I just know it exists.
[19:27] <Chousuke> without swap you can't suspend
[19:27] <geirha> Chousuke, wishie: don't you need at least 1xRAM to be able to hibernate?
[19:27] <wishie> can anyone suggest a 'nice' way to use some packages from intrepid ?
[19:27] <osxdude> i have 1 GB swap with 256MB ram in the laptop
[19:27] <eyemean> how much should swap be lufis ? if i have 2 gig ram
[19:27] <atlef> eyemean: get envyng and install that driver
[19:27] <Huntersdead> I do but its slow
[19:27] <Chousuke> geirha: a bit more actually.
[19:28] <wishie> geirha: my DESKTOP has the 4gb ram. so i dont suspend.
[19:28] <osxdude> !envy | eyemean
[19:28] <atlef> Bruners: then 1 gib swap is more then enogh
[19:28] <afallenhope> !debian
[19:28] <afallenhope> hmm
[19:28] <lufis> Anyone used Dell's firmware/bios updater for linux?
[19:28] <geirha> Chousuke: well, that's why I generally recommend 2xRAM .... most people don't have as much RAM as wishie does anyways ;)
[19:28] <eyemean> aha 500 meg, sounds good to me lufis , is it possible to reduce the swap size even though i've already installed ubuntu?
[19:29] <face-shot> how common are viruses on Linux? Assuming that I'm only dealing with binaries, and they happen to have some malicious code, does the "sudo" system protect me from something like this?
[19:29] <Chousuke> geirha: well that recommendation stops being effective after 1GB of RAM :/
[19:29] <wishie> geirha: id say, if you have 2gb ram, or more, then 1x-1/2x is enough
[19:29] <chase_> can someone give me the compiz server name?
[19:29] <Chousuke> geirha: and most people have 1GB nowadays :P
[19:29] <Flannel> !viruses | face-shot
[19:29] <Flannel> !virus | face-shot
[19:29] <lufis> eyemean: Don't bother now, no point to it... you can set the "swappiness" value to something low so the system prefers physical ram over slow virtual memory
[19:29] <Huntersdead> Pici: I tried Warsow, but it isn't good, cause well,  can't play it with OpenGl. And i can't play with ATI treiber cause then my ubuntu dosn't start normally
[19:29] <dannyboy> how can install an alfa usb wireless adapter?
[19:29] <atlef> !virus
[19:29] <face-shot> ty Flannel
[19:29] <geirha> eyemean: yes, boot up live cd and resize it with gparted
[19:29] <chase_> can someone give me the compiz server name?
[19:30] <s0|> awsome
[19:30] <osxdude> Apperently ubottu is lagging, hold on, folks
[19:30] <nosmelc> Do I need to do anything special to get HFS file system support when I install Ubuntu 8.04?
[19:30] <eyemean> can i use gparted with installed version geirha
[19:30] <atlef> eyemean: boot the livecd
[19:30] <geirha> Chousuke: I see, I guess I'm growing too old ;)
[19:30] <bob_afk> hi
[19:30] <axenory> is there a way to oipen a folder from the terminal?
[19:30] <eyemean> ok atlef , cheers.
[19:31] <lufis> axenory: with GUI?
[19:31] <wishie> axenory: 'open a folder' ?
[19:31] <wishie> axenory: couldnt you just call nautilus or whatever ?
[19:31] <geirha> chase_: if you want to start compiz from a terminal you do "compiz --replace &"
[19:32] <wishie> chase_: or you could try 'fusion-icon'. i think thats in the repos these days
[19:32] <Linus`> err.
[19:32] <axenory> wishie, I am trying to find a folder.... mozilla folder.... I want to delete some plugins how do I get to that folder
[19:32] <geirha> eyemean: only if you can unmount all partitions on the drive the swap is on
[19:32] <wishie> axenory: probably in ~/.mozilla/something
[19:32] <lufis> axenory: ls ~/.mozilla/firefox/plugins
[19:32] <geirha> eyemean: so if it's on a different partition than /, you should be able to
[19:32] <lufis> axenory: or: ls /usr/lib/firefox/plugins
[19:33] <eyemean> live it is then geirha , lol
[19:33] <frostburn> fisshss, you need to configure your ssh daemon to allow password based login, otherwise you're doing keybased authentication /etc/sshd/ssd_config
[19:33] <eyemean> thanks again
[19:33] <nosmelc> Do I need to do anything special to get HFS file system support when I install Ubuntu 8.04?
[19:33] <atlef> eyemean: by all means, we aim to please. :-)
[19:33] <chase_> Does anybody know the compiz channel name?
[19:33] <geirha> eyemean: you can do it with fdisk however, but it will require a restart
[19:33] <wishie> nosmelc: mac fs support ?
[19:33] <rww> !hfs
[19:33] <ivens> boa tarde
[19:33] <rww> !compiz
[19:33] <geirha> eyemean: and fdisk is a bit ancient ... meaning it doesn't have a gui
[19:33] <nosmelc> wishie yes.  I just need to access a Mac floppy
[19:33] <wishie> nosmelc: hfs+ works fine here by default
[19:33] <Huntersdead> chase_: type /join #compiz
[19:34] <DrGamut> What is a working source URI for ubuntu hardy I can put in my sources.list so that I can use build-dep?
[19:34] <ivens> como mudo a resolução do video
[19:34] <Linus`> err, i'm having some troubles in changing the keyboard layout from console
[19:34] <nosmelc> wishie ohh ok.  I didn't know if the drivers for the fs were loaded by default
[19:34] <rapid> !screencast
[19:34] <Linus`> actually, i just can't figure how
[19:34] <wishie> nosmelc: seemed to be here.. i havent installed anything, and i can read my osx drive
[19:35] <dannyboy> how can install an alfa usb wireless adapter?
[19:35] <nosmelc> wishie thanks :)
[19:35] <Huntersdead> Does somebody know how to make a programm with gcc that actully shows a text if i start it. ( like main() printf("Hi");)
[19:35] <wishie> nosmelc: no worries
[19:35] <axenory> lufis, Istill cant find the plugins eventhough I go to the folder and look into it... I marked view hidden files
[19:36] <lufis> axenory: What plugin is it?
[19:36] <axenory> flash
[19:36] <legend2440> Linus`: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=544984
[19:36] <lufis> axenory: How did you install it?
[19:36] <axenory> lufis, I want to delete flash plugins
[19:36] <daemon3> Ever since today's update has Konqueror been a memory beast for anyone else?
[19:36] <axenory> lufis, I think ubuntu-restricted-something.... or automatically... I dont remember which of those two
[19:36] <daemon3> it eats up about 75% of my 1G memory.
[19:37] <Raz0R> hello, when i do sudo ifup/down i see lots of stuff to do with ebox (which i have removed) how do i stop this ebox stuff?
[19:37] <fisshss> im trying to SSH into my guest system but its asking for a password? huh? I never created a pw in the first place, HELP please!
[19:37] <lufis> axenory: Ok... you can try /usr/lib/firefox/plugins
[19:37] <lufis> That's normally where they are
[19:37] <Linus`> fisshss: try with no password
[19:37] <axenory> lufis, the folder is empty
[19:37] <Linus`> just press enter
[19:38] <lufis> axenory: Is the plugin showing up in the Addons window?
[19:38] <DrGamut> What is a working source URI for ubuntu hardy I can put in my sources.list so that I can use build-dep?
[19:38] <fisshss> linus if i jsut do enter i get "permission denied
[19:38] <lufis> DrGamut: you can check "source" in the Software sources preferences
[19:38] <axenory> lufis, yes it does... if you are refering to the Add on tab in mozilla add-on -- plugins option
[19:39] <Linus`> fisshss: ok, then i don't know, try some default password
[19:39] <Linus`> s*
[19:39] <axenory> lufis, not only that one but several
[19:39] <ArthurArchnix> DrGamut: A default install includes src archives... does URI mean something else?
[19:39] <fisshss> Linus ? default what? :S
[19:39] <daemon3> So, no one has problems with Konqueror today...
[19:39] <lufis> axenory: Well, do you know what directory it's loading those plugins from?
[19:39] <rww> daemon3: it's running fine for me right now
[19:39] <masterspry> hello can someone help how to do file share between ubuntu and windows vista.
[19:39] <lufis> axenory: Is this a firefox installed from the repos, or manually?
[19:39] <daemon3> :(
[19:39] <node357> daemon3, maybe in #kubuntu
[19:40] <Gnea> !samba | masterspry
[19:41] <axenory> lufis, I dunno what you asked me but I can say that honestly it came with ubuntu and then it upgraded itself to 3.0 ... I ddont think that was manual
[19:41] <masterspry> i mean i follow what the links  saids gnea and ubottu but i don't know if is working.
[19:41] <DrGamut> ArthurArchnix: When I try to do apt-get build-dep it says I need a source URI in my sources.list file, but when I add a deb-src line using the archive mirror, it doesn't work.
[19:42] <lufis> axenory: ok... well, according to synaptic, the flash-nonfree package installs to /usr/lib/firefox/plugins
[19:42] <axenory> lufis, I also looked into firefox 3.0 plugin folder and nothing.... there is another folder firefox-addon .... neither there
[19:42] <masterspry> why cause every time i press sharing on a folder it saids i don't have any permission
[19:42] <ArthurArchnix> DrGamut: Post the exact error output plz
[19:42] <legend2440> axenory: sudo apt-get remove flashplugin-nonfree
[19:42] <axenory> lufis, oohh but there is a folder named flashplugin-nonfree....
[19:42] <DrGamut> ArthurArchnix: k sex
[19:42] <DrGamut> k sec*
[19:42] <lufis> axenory: but it also installs to /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins
[19:42] <lufis> among other places
[19:43] <ArthurArchnix> DrGamut: wait... apt-get build-dep ... where is that from... I can't find that option in the man pages
[19:43] <axenory> lufis, mmmmmm ok so If I uninstall flash nonfree... then It will be automatically deleted from mozilla?
[19:43] <ArthurArchnix> DrGamut: Never mind. I scrolled downs and founds it
[19:43] <TomPappa> Hi everybody? I started to downloading ubuntu 8.04.1 and i would like to be sure it is stable version. Is it?
[19:44] <lufis> ArthurArchnix: build-dep downloads all the required dependencies for building a particular package, src repos must be enabled for it to work
[19:44] <DrGamut> lufis: right, how do I enable src repo
[19:44] <lufis> axenory: It should be, but if the directory is empty, it shouldn't even be there
[19:44] <masterspry> yes.
[19:44] <Pici> DrGamut: Make sure you've run an apt-get update after you add your deb-src lines.
[19:44] <lufis> DrGamut: system > administration > software sources, enable the source checkbox
[19:44] <axenory> lufis, mmm ok I found it thanks !
[19:44] <DrGamut> lufis I don't have a desktop installed
[19:45] <DrGamut> CLI onli
[19:45] <DrGamut> only*
[19:45] <lufis> DrGamut: oh
[19:45] <acp_> TomPappa,yes that the stable version you have to do a md5sum is your iso is not tampered
[19:45] <naoliv> Hi! Do anybody knows how can I detect a memory leak on Apache 2, please? I see that it's memory usage keeps growing until filling all the system RAM+swap. How can I see if it's some php or something else that is allocating memory?
[19:45] <Pici> DrGamut: What mirrors are you using?
[19:45] <DrGamut> fr.archive.ubuntu.com
[19:45] <DrGamut> fr.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hardy main universe multiverse
[19:45] <TomPappa> thanks
[19:45] <DrGamut> pici: i will try running update again after adding deb-src
[19:45] <s0|> honestly does anyone know how to get an adaptec1430SA to be seen properly by ubuntu8.04 install so that 8.04 maybe installed to the volume that has been created in the adaptec HostRaid mcBios
[19:46] <masterspry> ok that samba thing i really don't know how to make it work really.
[19:46] <geirha> DrGamut: if you have a line: "deb http://..." in your sources.list you can usually double that line and change the first part to "deb-src http://..."
[19:46] <DrGamut> geirha: that's what i did
[19:46] <DrGamut> but it wasn't working
[19:46] <DrGamut> but i didn't try the update after
[19:46] <DrGamut> so maybe that was my problem
[19:46] <FloodBot1> DrGamut: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[19:46] <masterspry> also everytime i press sharing on the folder it saids i don't have any permission
[19:46] <geirha> DrGamut: you definately need an update afterwards, yes :)
[19:46] <Pici> DrGamut: Yes, you need to update afterwards.
[19:47] <DrGamut> it worked, thank you pici
[19:47] <DrGamut> and gierha
[19:50] <JC_Denton_> My distribution upgrade seems to be stuck on generating locales..
[19:51] <JewStyleKungFu> in DOS when you wanted to pause the directory listing, you typed, "dir/p", what's the equivalent of that in BASH?
[19:51] <EvilDennisR> JewStyleKungFu: ls|less
[19:51] <SeveredCross> ls | pager
[19:52] <EvilDennisR> JewStyleKungFu: ls|less -R (if you have ls --color)
[19:52] <JewStyleKungFu> that's awesome, thanks
[19:52] <osxdude_> Bad disc? Or are you downloading it, JC_Denton_ ?
[19:52]  * osxdude_ blinks
[19:52] <JC_Denton_> osxdude downloaded it
[19:52] <osxdude_> did I reconnect?
[19:53] <sjovan> EvilDennisR: how do you get colors in a normal user. i got it on my root account
[19:53] <EvilDennisR> sjovan: ls --color
[19:53] <osxdude_> JC_Denton_: give it time. sometime some parts of installation can take longer
[19:53] <osxdude_> there are a lot of locales in ubuntu
[19:53] <sjovan> EvilDennisR: i figured that much out, but how can you make it default?
[19:53] <EvilDennisR> sjovan: alias ls="ls -F --color"
[19:53] <Arnos> Whats an easy way to make a zombie process?
[19:53] <EvilDennisR> sjovan: Put that in your ~/.bashrc
[19:53] <JC_Denton_> osxdude it's been stuck on it for quite some time now.. still reporting 12min left
[19:53] <sjovan> thanx
[19:54] <AlmightyCthulhu> Arnos: Run anything in Wine for long enough
[19:54] <dannyboy> how can install an alfa usb wireless adapter?
[19:54] <sjovan> awsome, i have thought about that many times, but never got around to ask some one :)
[19:54] <EvilDennisR> !paste
[19:54] <osxdude_> sorry my internet is being bad, JC_Denton_ lemme check something
[19:55] <JewStyleKungFu> does anyone know some good documentation for getting a broadcom 43xx wireless card to work with hardy heron?
[19:55] <sjovan> EvilDennisR: hmmm... i can't finde .bashrc
[19:55] <JC_Denton_> osxdude the only assuring thing is system monitor reporting localedef (which I guess is the program the upgrader is running) running at 50pc (a single core)
[19:55] <ifireball> Arnos: run a process, have it run a child process, then kill the parent while having the child ignore the sighup and sigterm signals
[19:55] <EvilDennisR> sjovan: http://paste.ubuntu.com/33081/
[19:55] <Arnos> ifireball: Thanks
[19:55] <EvilDennisR> sjovan: my custom ls_colors for different file extensions
[19:55] <geirha> !broadcom | JewStyleKungFu

[19:56] <ifireball> Arnos: hmm... I think you also need to kill the child afterwards, not sure
[19:56] <juris> Hello my Ubuntu friends :D I know there is command startx to run GUI. Is there any command called stopx or similar? :)
[19:56] <atlef> !widget
[19:56] <askand> What brand of harddrive should be avoided if you dont want to suffer from the harddrivekillingbug?
[19:56] <lordchavez> !widget
[19:56] <osxdude_> juris: just do sudo killall X
[19:56] <osxdude_> actually
[19:56] <juris> thank You, osxdude :)
[19:56] <EvilDennisR> juris: You want to kill X? ctrl+alt+backspace
[19:56] <osxdude_> it might be sudo killall Xorg
[19:57] <juris> Ok, many thanks!
[19:57] <juris> WoW, so many commands to kill GUI :D|
[19:57] <ifireball> osxdude: no need for the sudo there, X run by startx runs with normal user permissions
[19:57] <JewStyleKungFu> ubottu: that just tells me that the manual install is deprecated because the the driver is included in 8.04...which is a little odd, since it doesn't work in the slightest for my card
[19:57] <pulseezar> is there a way to adjust bass and treble in ubuntu?
[19:57] <JewStyleKungFu> of course
[19:57] <osxdude_> oh, really? I never knew that.
[19:58] <JC_Denton_> osxdude ok to kill localedef to get the upgrade process to continue?
[19:58] <pulseezar> or in rythmbox
[19:58] <osxdude_> well, I would think it's frozen,...
[19:58] <osxdude_> whoops
[19:58] <osxdude_> he did it.
[19:59] <song_> 大家好
[19:59] <ifireball> osxdude: its because you run "startx" as a normal user

[20:03] <hillshum> is alien a valid command on hardy?

[20:08] <npope> Lyran: just kidding whats up
[20:08] <Shujah> yeah many many here :P
[20:08] <R0b0t1> Recently after installing emerald, the bottom panel has become inactive. I can switch desktops, but the 'highlight' doesn't move, and the window 'buttons' don't appear, either. But they're still there and I can click on them
[20:08] <knoppix_> Hi
[20:08] <rww> !hi
[20:08] <cyphase> osxdude: more than half the time that i'm logged on to my account and someone else comes on to log onto theirs, my account crashes
[20:08] <DIFH-iceroot> R0b0t1: resize the window and you will see the buttons
[20:08] <Shujah> R0b0t1, try some other theme of emerald
[20:09] <R0b0t1> Shujah: Nah, its worked before.
[20:09] <cyphase> osxdude: or rather, the X process showing my desktop
[20:09] <R0b0t1> Just this restart.
[20:09] <cyphase> osxdude: i'm pretty sure it has something to do with compiz
[20:09] <Lyran> hey I'm having a problem, my driver for wireless is fine but my KDE wireless software is cack, so how do I connect to my wireless without kwifi or whatever its name is?
[20:09] <osxdude> yep, it is possibly compiz, cyphase
[20:09] <Shujah> R0b0t1, try restarting compiz
[20:09] <Tonren> NetworkManager is requesting an encryption passkey even though the network I'm trying to connect to isn't encrypted.  Any hints?
[20:10] <R0b0t1> Oh. thanks, that worked.
[20:10] <Tonren> Atheros AR242x card, using ndiswrapper.  Had the same problem with madwifi.
[20:10] <hlfshell> I believe my microphone is not working, but I don't know how to GET it working....
[20:10] <hlfshell> anyone know how?
[20:11] <Shujah> hlfshell, go to menu > sys > pref > sounds and test the various options that is if Ubuntu is recognizing the microphone
[20:11] <bullgard4> hlfshell: The Ubuntu Wiki will help you using the catchword 'sound'.
[20:11] <BigToe> right
[20:11] <Lyran> so whats the alternative to using kwifi because it just doesn't connect it detects the network but doesn't connect
[20:12] <BigToe> weird
[20:12] <Shujah> Howcome Dead Man has this message no route to host - then how can he login to irc?
[20:12] <BigToe> there's no ubuntu splash screen showing up
[20:12] <BigToe> :s
[20:12] <BigToe> well, not the splash screen, the bootloaer
[20:12] <BigToe> but at least it looks like it's working! :D
[20:13] <Shujah> BigToe, you might have changed the grub settings
[20:13] <Akazawa> how do I edit my right click menus?
[20:13] <phantomcircuit> the compiz shortcuts dont seem to work if the mouse is over an ssh window >.>
[20:13] <phantomcircuit> what a pita
[20:14] <askand> If I encrypt my drive, will it be slower?
[20:14] <s0|> honestly does anyone know how to get an adaptec1430SA to be seen properly by ubuntu8.04 install so that 8.04 maybe installed to the volume that has been created in the adaptec HostRaid mcBios
[20:15] <azene> does ubuntu have a fancy way to manage what services are run when the machine boots?  I have just been editing rc files etc, but the changes never seem to survive upgrades
[20:15] <XKpe> hi
[20:15] <askand> azene: install bum
[20:15] <askand> azene: or sum
[20:15] <askand> doesnt remember
[20:15] <atlef> azene: check sessions in your preferences menu
[20:15] <Shujah> azene, menu > sys > admin > services  or sessions
[20:16] <bobertdos> askand: Well, it'll be slower to the extent that you will have to wait for files to decrypt every time you access them.
[20:16] <Lyran> hey whats good software to connecting to wireless with?? My card is detected and everything and the driver is fine
[20:16] <corky`> ok.. what the heck...
[20:16] <XKpe> my ubuntu didnt boot and is saying there are erros on the filesystem, its saya DRDY ERR, what does this mean?
[20:16] <askand> bobertdos: hm ok then it is better to encrypt single directories I guess
[20:17] <azene> askand: looks like bum
[20:17] <corky`> i installed nvidia-glx (not the newest) and my TTY's are working, The didn't with nvidia-glx-new, but here it comes!: Now i can't enable desktop effects because i don't have any window borders!
[20:17] <askand> azene: yep its bum
[20:17] <redneck862> I'm having problems with USB on my laptop. when multiple users are logged in USB sticks, mouses doesn't work... any idea what might help?
[20:17] <corky`> with nvidia-glx-new desktop effects worked
[20:17] <s0|> has anyone ever used a 3ware card here? specifically a 9650SE-4LPML
[20:17] <Shujah> corky`, if on compiz download emerald or move to metacity
[20:18] <azene> atlef: Shujah: what app does that run?  I don't have a prefs menu at the moment :-/
[20:18] <Shujah> azene, what do you mean, are you in cli?
[20:19] <atlef> azene: what do you mean?
[20:19] <corky`> Shujah, anyone?: where did emerald-themes go?
[20:19] <s0|> what am I on the ignore lists now.
[20:19] <Lyran> Guys really could use some help, What wireless software can I use to CONNECT to a network in ubuntu?
[20:19] <Shujah> corky`, search for emerald on synaptic, themes can be added later
[20:19] <azene> atlef: Shujah: I have customized my gnome session to the point where I don't have menus, just hotkeys for everything I do
[20:20] <atlef> azene: do you have control panel
[20:20] <corky`> brb xorg restart
[20:20] <bobertdos> Lyran: If everything is function properly, the network list is already available by clicking on the network icon in the upper-right corner of the taskbar.
[20:20] <jgoo> What constitutes 'no wifi'. My T40 with 8.04 connects to my wifi, autheticates, setup with static IP, all settings correct, shows connected to SSID, but then... nothing...
[20:20] <S4nD3r> Id like to mount a device as user, and in 755 mode, how to do in fstab?

[20:20] <jgoo> is this a driver provlem? thinkpad t40 wifi hardy heron
[20:20] <jgoo> what tools can I use to diagnose this? If pinged a few known ips, so I know it isn't DNS
[20:21] <bobertdos> XKpe: Is it happening persistently?
[20:21] <jgoo> and this machine I am using is using the same wifi connection
[20:21] <s0|> awsome
[20:21] <XKpe> bobertdos, i'm running fsck and it allways happens
[20:22] <XKpe> status DRDY ERR, error: UNC, exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0x0, BMDMA stat 0x65, cmd ...
[20:23] <jgoo> hrm, my /etc/network/interfaces doesn't mention wifi, has iface lo, and iface eth1, but then also auto eth1, and eth1 contains my wifi conf
[20:24] <max__> does anyone use terminator terminal on here? does anyone know where i can find documentation for it?

[20:25] <jose> Hello can someone help me to install the 'Kernel-source' or 'kernel-devel' it must be RPM installed and I need to specify the kernel path with the '--kernel-source-path' in the command line... my video card drivers are asking me for that anyone one knows how to install that?
[20:26] <NickGarvey> jose: Ubuntu uses .deb files, not RPM files
[20:26] <jose> is there any way that I can install the kernel-source here?
[20:26] <jose> or kernel-devel
[20:26] <Bravo7> How can i check for any missing files when i installed my ubuntu?
[20:26] <jose> ?
[20:26] <NickGarvey> jose: but it is easy to install your kernel source simply type "sudo apt-get install linux-source"
[20:26] <Shujah> what video card driver gives such explicit details :|
[20:27] <SeveredCross> Shujah: Explicit details about what?
[20:27] <bullgard4> How to identify in a bash script die current cursor location? Or, how to insert at the current cursor position of an input text field the string "xyz"?
[20:27] <Shujah> like installing via a rpm only
[20:27] <bobertdos> XKpe: You might want to try shutting down ACPI. That's one of the first things I find when I Google this. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=57019
[20:27] <max__> is anyone here familiar with the terminator terminal? does anyone know where i can documentation for it?
[20:27] <DIFH-iceroot> Shujah: the nvidia installer script for suse at the nvidia site
[20:28] <jose> !NickGarvey is there any way that I can specify the kernel path now with the command line?
[20:28] <ice_cream> hi; suprise me.
[20:28] <NickGarvey> jose: it should be /usr/src/linux, but you may need to decompress it first
[20:28] <legend2440> jgoo: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=409247
[20:29] <jose> it says '--kernel-source-path' in the command line
[20:29] <jose> thats what it said during the installation
[20:29] <jgoo> that looks the ticket, I searched but found a t40 that had a non intel card... weird
[20:30] <jgoo> thanks legend2440 , reading tnhis
[20:30] <legend2440> jgoo: good luck
[20:30] <aurynn_> is there any way to have an OSX-like ctrl-click simulated right button?
[20:31] <XKpe> bobertdos, how can acpi affect fsck ?
[20:31] <dannyboy> how can i install an alfa usb wireless adapter?
[20:32] <td123> XKpe: I don't think it does.
[20:32] <aurynn_> or really get mousepad tracking to be pretty similar to OSX? The default synaptic settings are ... twitchy.
[20:33] <s0|> honestly does anyone know how to get an adaptec1430SA to be seen properly by ubuntu8.04 install so that 8.04 maybe installed to the volume that has been created in the adaptec HostRaid mcBios?
[20:33] <td123> !repeate | s0|
[20:34] <td123> !repeat | s0|
[20:34] <jgoo> legend2440, is it me, or the guy who had the problem had an intel wifi card (like me) but the solution posted is for the cisco airo card...??
[20:34] <ice_cream> hmm, td123... you just defeated your point by repeating yourself
[20:34] <bobertdos> XKpe: Well, I don't think the utility is the problem. Rather, I think the problem is Ubuntu's support of your drive. That's why I recommend disabling acpi. Also, are you running a check EVERY time you boot?
[20:35] <Tonren> NetworkManager is requesting an encryption passkey even though the network I'm trying to connect to isn't encrypted.  Any hints? Atheros AR242x card, using ndiswrapper.  Had the same problem with madwifi.
[20:35] <stu_> abend @all

[20:36] <DavidCanarias> Can anyone help please. I would like to open an xcf file and need " image/x-xcf ". Where can I get this from???
[20:36] <td123> !repeat | ice_cream
[20:36] <XKpe> bobertdos, i did boot without acpi and the same thing happened
[20:36] <td123> read it again
[20:37] <dannyboy> how can i install an alfa usb wireless adapter?
[20:37] <bobertdos> I see, well then I would indeed think there's a drive compatibility issue somewhere. I am not an expert in this area, but I would focus your troubleshooting on SATA compatibility with Hardy.
[20:38] <XKpe> bobertdos, shoud i boot and skip the fsck?
[20:38] <glitsj16> DavidCanarias: the image/x-xcf is the mime-type, .xcf is the native file format of the Gimp so you'll want to look at installing that i guess
[20:38] <bobertdos> XKpe: You can certainly try.
[20:39] <bobertdos> XKpe: You're using Ext3 for the filesystem, right?
[20:39] <XKpe> bobertdos, yes
[20:39] <bobertdos> XKpe: k, just checking
[20:39] <ice_cream> td123, i was just pointing it out to you in case you have a twitch or something, but if you are purposely spamming, it's not impressive

[20:40] <davygrvy> Hi, VirtualBox on ubutu is dated back to febuary for v1.5.6 in the package manager, the newest just got released to v1.6.4 today.  Aside from building it myself from source, are prebuilt packages available for amd64?
[20:41] <djh816> is there a way when installing ubuntu to raid two hd's together?
[20:42] <ejer> davygrvy: at vbox.com there are 64bit binaries
[20:42] <ejer> virtualbox
[20:42] <DavidCanarias> glitsj16 - there are several files to install. I have 2 installed and it still doesn't work. Do I need to install all the Gimp
[20:42] <CD_ROM_Drive> hello
[20:42] <regeya> GREETINGS.
[20:42] <davygrvy> ejer: I just find source, no debian packages
[20:43] <ejer> davygrvy: of OSE there is just source
[20:43] <ice_cream> speaking of virtualbox, ubuntu runs decently in a VM, as well
[20:44] <moreau> anyone know why mounting an iso thats located on another comp on my network would not work, and giveme error: permission denied--even though im using sudo
[20:44] <DavidCanarias> glitsj16 I have installed the following 2 : Gimp Image Manipulation and gimp data.
[20:44] <bobertdos> deever: Which devices are which?
[20:44] <glitsj16> DavidCanarias: yes i believe so if you mean gimp and gimp-data, those could pull in other needed dependencies
[20:44] <davygrvy> ejer: hehehe.. silly me..  I found it
[20:44] <glitsj16> DavidCanarias: are you installing them via synaptic ?
[20:44] <bobertdos> moreau:
[20:45] <bobertdos> are you sure you have read/write permissions set for the appropriate shares?
[20:45] <moreau> im checkin now but i have always been able to drag n drop files back n forth
[20:46] <ejer> moreau: mount options can do this
[20:46] <DavidCanarias> glitsj16 - Yes I am using Synaptic, but there are so many Gimp available?
[20:47] <ejer> DavidCanarias: use applications>add/remove, install "GIMP Image editor"
[20:47] <glitsj16> DavidCanarias: the packages you mentioned are the basic gimp files, the rest are either help files or extra plugins yes, with those two you'll be fine for most image manipuklation tasks though
[20:47] <DavidCanarias> ejer Thanks I will ltry
[20:47] <moreau> ejer do i need to add '-o username=etc,password=etc ?
[20:47] <cyphase> anyone else having problems with tracker?
[20:48] <ejer> moreau: is share mounted?
[20:48] <moreau> yep
[20:48] <ejer> type mount and it will show what options are used moreau
[20:48] <Hans-Martin> It looks like the mechanism with whichKMediaFactory generates its menu images (using ImageMagick) is somehow broken recently on my machine. Since I did nothing but install updates I suspect a faulty update combination. Does anyone have an idea what might be wrong?
[20:48] <ejer> could be noexec moreau
[20:49] <unop> could be user permissions on the share too
[20:49] <Bogus8> I'm having problems rsync'ing over some files... I'm transfering 400gigs of files from one system to another but I'm running out of space on the destination at 439gigs... what gives?  why is 400gigs taking up over 439 gigs on another system?
[20:49] <moreau> oh i see, if i use mount to mount the share, but without certain options, i cant write?? kk ill see what options are there
[20:49] <DavidCanarias> ejer I already have Gimp image editor installed..... ???
[20:49] <ejer> then you are good DavidCanarias
[20:50] <DavidCanarias> glitsj16 - thanks for your help too......
[20:50] <unop> moreau, being root locally does not automatically mean you have all permissions on remote shares too - maybe that's a factor
[20:50] <joaopinto> Bogus8, any change that you may have symbolic links for large files and are not using the option to replicate the links ?
[20:50] <joaopinto> erm, chance
[20:50] <face-shot> when I run the same application from the terminal, Alt+F2, and "Applications" menu, they all seem to have diffirent configurations, for example the gnome calculator -- view changes are only transferred to whatever method I started the app with -- is there any way to "unify" this?
[20:50] <DavidCanarias> ejer well I don't understand why the files don't open if I have installed the necesary programs!!!
[20:50] <bullgard4> How to identify in a bash script die current cursor location? Or, how to insert at the current cursor position of an input text field the string "xyz"?
[20:50] <ejer> DavidCanarias: what sort of file, sorry i missed it
[20:51] <Bogus8> joaopinto: I do have some symlinks and I looked at a few and all are transfering as such (symlinks)... I am using rsync -a fwiw
[20:51] <glitsj16> ejer: .xcf files, native gimp format no ?
[20:51] <moreau> unop: the options set on the already mounted shares are (rw,mand)
[20:51] <ejer> yep glitsj16
[20:51] <DavidCanarias> In Ubuntu I have some example files and one is an xcf file so when I try to open it up pops .... no application installed to open
[20:52] <Bogus8> joaopinto: that was my first thought... that some how rsync was moving over files from another partition via a symlink
[20:52] <bmefat> nhazica
[20:52] <moreau> DavidCanarias: try text editor if its a small file
[20:52] <ejer> DavidCanarias: maybe you need to say 'open with' and choose gimp, or else run gimp once to make sure file associations are registered
[20:52] <bmefat> how are you?
[20:53] <ejer> DavidCanarias: you are talking about 'gimp-ubuntu-usplash.xcf' in Examples directory?
[20:53] <Bogus8> joaopinto: when I run rsyn with the -n option it says "total size is 527805686600" which is outrageous
[20:53] <joaopinto> that is odd
[20:53] <DavidCanarias> ejer, moreau and anyone else who has helped. Solutionned..... when I marked it to open I chose open with another application and with Gimp Image Editor it opened no problem.   Very grateful!!!!!
[20:54] <glitsj16> DavidCanarias: no problem :)
[20:54] <Bogus8> joaopinto: if I do a du -hs on the dir it comes up correct
[20:54] <DavidCanarias> ejer, moreau .... the only thing I didn't understand is why it didn't open automatically???????
[20:54] <Bogus8> not sure what it is still trying to xfer over that it shouldn't... I haven't watched every file but I don't see anything out of place... I guess I could dump the file list into a log and go through it
[20:54] <ejer> DavidCanarias: because it did not know what to open with since u did not have gimp installed when you tried
[20:54] <moreau> ubuntu is stupid sometimes??
[20:55] <joaopinto> Bogus8, I would create a bug report, but do not expect a quick reaction :P
[20:55] <ejer> Bogus8: you can do a 'dry run' with -s switch i think
[20:55] <bobertdos> DavidCanarias: I've never had Ubuntu lose its file type associations, but it seems like that's what happened :p
[20:55] <Bogus8> ejer: I thought -n was dry run... that is what gave me the insane  "total size is 527805686600"
[20:55] <Bogus8> on 400gigs of data
[20:55] <ejer> ya
[20:55] <moreau> plus maybe .xfc or w/e it was, wasnt a normal or popular kind of filename, so itwas never registered as being an image for gimp to open
[20:56] <DavidCanarias> ejer / bobertdos - You are right!!! I am the idiot...... not Ubuntu losing its file type thank god!!!!
[20:56] <ejer> Bogus8: -l forces to treat symlinks as such
[20:57] <DavidCanarias> moreau - ejer was right I didn't have Gimp Image Editor installed!!! Thanks for your help too.
[20:57] <bobertdos> oi!!
[20:57] <dmitrig01> atlef: how?
[20:57] <Bogus8> ejer: I am using -a which is the same as -l (and others) and I verified that the few that I know of pointing to mass amounts of data aren't xfering the data but are just xfering the link
[20:57] <ejer> Bogus8: could there be a mounted dir in tehre somewhere, what switches are you using
[20:57] <moreau> ejer: were you thinking that 'mount' might show me "(noexec)" at the end of this: //192.168.0.100/f on /f type cifs (rw,mand)
[20:58] <ejer> could do
[20:58] <atlef> dmitrig01: sorry, refresh my memory
[20:58] <shane_> I just setup separate X and i cant get the keyboard to work, do i need a second and if so will it work right when i plug it in?
[20:58] <dmitrig01> atlef: booting from a live cd
[20:58] <dmitrig01> atlef: ned to do somethign wiht "bios"
[20:58] <Bogus8> ejer: just -a  and no I looked at `mount` and there are no crazy things mounted in there
[20:59] <JeanEdouardF> Hi tere ! What's your neighbour's name ? I looooooove the wolling upping up the rockin' walking chair isn't she is not ?
[20:59] <Bogus8> ejer: only thing that might be odd is that it's a raid 5 array... but I can't see how that would make a difference, but I'm all about full disclosure to get to the bottom of this issue ;)
[20:59] <JeanEdouardF> JeanEdouardF, Oh ! Yes, it isn't !
[20:59] <max__> can someone help me fix my keyboard, my left and right arrow keys don't work
[21:00] <JeanEdouardF> I am a ...
[21:00] <JeanEdouardF> ... a carrot !
[21:00] <CD_ROM_Drive> ???
[21:00] <JeanEdouardF> No ! it's you oudidiou !
[21:00] <ejer> Bogus8: this is a local transfer on 2 linux filesystems?
[21:00] <atlef> dmitrig01: well, enter your bios and setup which device your computer should boot from
[21:00] <Bogus8> ejer: over network from debian (etchy) to new ubuntu system (both raid 5 ex3)
[21:01] <TiredWolf> !ot | JeanEdouardF
[21:01] <JeanEdouardF> Do you know the difference between you an a wolling bottle of pinapple ? It's the flag that you're wearing in your hat !
[21:01] <TiredWolf> !ops | JeanEdouardF
[21:02] <ejer> Bogus8: any chance you synced some data while remote mount was down or not mounted, so now you have hidden files 'under' that mount?
[21:02] <dmitrig01> atlef: I can enter the bios, and I can set it to boot from the cd drive but that doesn't work
[21:02] <JeanEdouardF> TiredWolf, Whooooooooooooooooooooo (= wolf)

[21:02] <PriceChild> !offtopic | JeanEdouardF
[21:02] <atlef> dmitrig01: exactly what does not work?
[21:03] <Bogus8> ejer: the raid on the source box is smaller than on the destination box

[21:03] <Masteredu1> Halli Hallo
[21:03] <Bogus8> ejer: it's a 441gig raid being moved to a 463gig raid (of which only 400gig shows being used)
[21:03] <ejer> Bogus8: i am just grasping at straws :)
[21:03] <marcules> hiho
[21:04] <Bogus8> ejer: and I appreciate it! I really do
[21:04] <moreau> oh i found the problem, I think.....im usin this comp to mount a file located on my network, but the drive it is on is full.  Why should this matter, considering im mounting the file to this comp
[21:04] <Bogus8> ejer: it's often something simple that kicks you in the a$$ the worse
[21:04] <atlef> dmitrig01: and how did you burn it, as an image or as a data dvd/cd
[21:04] <dmitrig01> atlef: image
[21:05] <edibrac> when is the encrypted filesystem option going to be available on the regular CD (non-alternate)?
[21:05] <Masteredu1> helle can some one help me? my question is where can i find the newest .deb version from xwinwrap ???
[21:06] <maney> fascinating... why does ssh in Hawful insist on popping up a dialogue about unlocking a key file that it doesn't need?
[21:06] <integral_> hi guys
[21:06] <amigrave> is it possible to emulate a cdrom device from an iso image ? (note: I don't want mount -o loop, I want an emulation of a device)

[21:07] <integral_> i just installed ubuntu 7.04 and then upgraded to 7.10...i already had winXP so i dual booted...after the upgrade to 7.10, i have duplicate ubuntu boot options...how can i fix this ???
[21:07] <ejer> Bogus8: http://www.google.ca/search?q=527805686600+bytes+to+gigabytes
[21:07] <ejer> Bogus8: it is not that crazy... is it?
[21:07] <Flannel> integral_: You'll have a boot option for each kernel version you have, that's normal.
[21:07] <Bogus8> ejer: considering that that partition is only 441gigs.. kind of ;)
[21:07] <Bogus8> and only 400gigs is actual data
[21:08] <linusz> err, i'm having some troubles in changing the keyboard layout from console. actually, i just can't figure how to do it, any ideas?
[21:08] <edibrac> integral_, :  you can remove the reference to the old kernel in /boot/grub/menu.1st
[21:08] <integral_> it's the same ....both "triplets" have exactly the same options
[21:08] <Bogus8> ejer: the thing is I shouldn't be transfering 400gigs to a 463gig drive (439g usuable) and be running out of space
[21:08] <Flannel> integral_: triplets?  they should be in pairs.  And, they should be different kernel versions.  Pastebin your menu.lst if you want us to take a look at it and know for sure
[21:09] <ejer> Bogus8: if you want to paste me your mount output and rsync output I can take a peek
[21:09] <integral_> pastebin ??
[21:09] <shane_> Bogus8: maybe its being used as swap space/
[21:09] <TiredWolf> Bogus8, different filesystems with different block sizes?
[21:09] <integral_> what's pastebin ?
[21:09] <Bogus8> shane_: I have a swap partition setup already on both systems
[21:09] <edibrac> integral_: www.pastebin.com
[21:09] <TiredWolf> !pastebin > integral_
[21:10] <_STB_> wenas !
[21:10] <Bogus8> ejer: what output of rsync do you want?  it's THOUSANDS of files and the error is that it just hangs when the remote drive gets full
[21:10] <debCarlos> Anyone here was nicknamed superfirelord42 two weeks ago?
[21:10] <integral_> http://pastebin.com/d145575b3
[21:10] <integral_> here it is
[21:11] <Bogus8> ejer: this is my mount http://www.pastebin.ca/1090102
[21:11] <integral_> i think i found it
[21:11] <movEDX> OK, so I'm configuring my FTP server - my clients can connect fine to the server, but when their clients, and mine, do a 'PASV' mode request, it hangs and eventually fails. What am I missing from my firewall configuration? I'm using 'ufw' to open ports and I've simply done: ufw allow proto tcp from any to any port 21
[21:11] <integral_> #
[21:11] <integral_> ## should update-grub create alternative automagic boot options
[21:12] <integral_> #
[21:12] <integral_> ## e.g. alternative=true
[21:12] <integral_> #
[21:12] <integral_> ##      alternative=false

[21:12] <integral_> # alternative=true
[21:12] <FloodBot1> integral_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[21:12] <ejer> Bogus8: paste rsync line you used if poss
[21:12] <Bogus8> ejer: I updated it to include my df -h command (which the NFS mounted dir is the same as the remote dir that I'm rsync'ing to... though I'm rsyncing via ssh)
[21:12] <max__> is there anyway to read man pages in firefox?
[21:12] <maney> max__: dwww is my favorite
[21:12] <integral_> http://pastebin.com/d145575b3
[21:13] <Flannel> integral_: You have a perfectly normal menu.lst
[21:13] <debCarlos> Hi
[21:13] <Flannel> integral_: theres three different kernel versions, each having two options, like normal.
[21:13] <integral_> how can i get rid of the duplicate options ?
[21:13] <Bogus8> ejer: added to the bottom http://www.pastebin.ca/1090106
[21:13] <Flannel> integral_: Which duplicate options?
[21:14] <Bogus8> ejer: could it be that * I used?
[21:14] <Bogus8> ejer: I forgot I used it... I just assumed that was the best way... but I'm no genius with rsync ;)
[21:14] <ejer> Bogus8: could be, and I would use full path
[21:14] <Bogus8> or bash really
[21:14] <integral_> it's not really duplicate...it's just that i got more after the upgrade... can i delete the old ones??
[21:14] <Bogus8> ejer: I do know the results of the xfer look right... it is the data I'm trying to xfer over
[21:14] <shane_> do you need 2 separate keyboard for separate x
[21:14] <ejer> Bogus8: no need for other raid to be mounted locally at same time, seems easy to mess up
[21:15] <trainwrekk> hey, do any of you know a good p2p for music for ubuntu?
[21:15] <ejer> i feel like it is somehow getting into the nfs mount as well... Bogus8
[21:15] <Bogus8> ejer: I mounted it because I was just going to mv the data over then I relized that rsync was the better way to handle it (especially that much data)
[21:15] <Flannel> integral_: You have one pair per kernel version.  Regular security updates will give you more, as you get newer kernels.  You can remove old kernels by removing their packages in your favorite package manager (linux-image-version-generic), however its a good idea to always keep one known good kernel version (so you have a total of at least two), in case the new one has regressions
[21:15] <ejer> trainwrekk: bt.etree.org
[21:15] <Bogus8> ejer: theree is no way... if it could then it could also get into my .irrsi or any other stupid dir in my home dir
[21:15] <trainwrekk> thanks ejer
[21:16] <maxhrk> question how you set the hotkey so it can execute the command.. suppose i want to bring up terminal with just <super>+c?
[21:16] <ejer> Bogus8: one thing I have learned from troubleshooting is to simplify ;)
[21:16] <desowin_laptop> does anyone knows why when I try to setsockopt SO_BINDTODEVICE that it works as root but gives operation not permitted when running as normal user?
[21:16] <Eyemean> hi everyone, pls help, everytime i install driver for ati 9550 on ubuntu , it dowsent want to start up
[21:16] <bastian> #irc://freenode/geubuntu
[21:16] <Bogus8> ejer: I can umount it easy enough... just saying it can't be the problem.. same with my torrent partion
[21:17] <Eyemean> could it be something to do with having an lcd screen?
[21:17] <laeg> if i replace my 5 in 1 media card reader with a standard floppy disk drive will ubuntu pick it up? also do you know of software i can use to recover a file from a damaged disk?
[21:17] <Gnea> laeg: yes. foremost.
[21:18] <ejer> Bogus8: once you have eliminated the possible, whatever remains, however unlikely... I don't know, I would personally wipe the remote drive, reboot and make sure all mounts are solid, then retry it personally, but I know some are averse to restarting their machines
[21:18] <Eyemean> is it possible to undo the installation of ati driver if linux is not starting up?
[21:18] <Bogus8> ejer: I'm not... it just takes a LONG time to transfer 400gigs of data to find out you still have the same problem :(
[21:19] <glitsj16> Eyeman: have you checked your /var/log/Xorg.0.log for relevant errors (EE) or warnings (WW) yet ?

[21:21] <bas> Thanks
[21:21] <joaopinto> !interpid | bas
[21:21] <debCarlos> bas: What's the output when you dop $ compiz
[21:21] <ejer> Bogus8: can you figure out where extra space is gone on remote drive
[21:21] <joaopinto> !intrepid | bas
[21:21] <ejer> Bogus8: maybe with a --delete-during and dryrun
[21:21] <simard> I built kernel 2.6.26 for ubuntu 8.04 using the standard procedure, but I am wondering if `sudo cp -r /lib/firmware/oldkernel /lib/firmware/2.6.26` will do
[21:22] <simard> also, I did `sudo update-initramfs -c -k 2.6.26` but the generated initrd file is 50 megs wide, while the previous kernel's initrd is about 10 megs
[21:22] <Bogus8> ejer: hmm, not sure how you mean... you mean do the rsync from the dest. ... even still doesn't dry run kill any results? or am I totally missing your point?

[21:23] <parrothead> because even with the restricted drivers i seed "horizontal lines" when watching movies or tv shoes
[21:23] <ejer> Bogus8: add --delete-during to a dryrun of rsync using same other options, will tell you what exists on remote drive that is not on local one, perhaps pointing out the 'extra' 40GB used

[21:30] <rasta> iGama: Any luck?
[21:30] <TiredWolf> rasta, look for "quota". otherwise, i believe it can be changed in /etc/cups/printers.conf, "PageLimit" option
[21:31] <TiredWolf> rasta, the KDE prefs are merely a front-end to CUPS, so yes, it does

[21:32] <td123> Ergo^: you could also try compiling it but you'll be on your own
[21:32] <Xorlev> td123: I could if it'd check to see if it were a blank CD. Hmm. I seem to remember an option to load the entire LiveCD into RAM.
[21:32] <DrGamut> energY wants to know what devices he can run ubuntu mobile on
[21:33] <my> someone uses the data danco postgresql.
[21:33] <energY> yes
[21:33] <TiredWolf> energY: i doubt it runs on anything other than a virtual machine or that Intel platform. anyway, it runs on an Intel processor, does your phone have an Intel processor?
[21:33] <td123> Xorlev: I don't think ubuntu had the option to load to memory, other distros do so maybe you're thinking about some other distro?
[21:33] <eltew> I need help starting Ubuntu off cd.  The system hangs after it reports: Kernel Alive.
[21:33] <debCarlos> Does VirtualBox cause damage to screens when running a virtual machine at high resolution>
[21:33] <Gaming4JC> hello all I am trying to connect only two computers on a network from a single Ethernet Cable, each computer Windows and Ubuntu has an ethernet card. I pluged them in and Ubuntu recognizes a network, but how do I connect to it?
[21:34] <Xorlev> Possibly. Could've been a Gentoo disk.
[21:34] <debCarlos> ?
[21:34] <tatster> Probably a really newbie question! But how can I have a folder that is shared among all users on the same machine?  So we can all stick music in there and get Songbird to share the files?
[21:34] <TiredWolf> energY: you could also always try joining #ubuntu-mobile i suppose
[21:34] <wols> debCarlos: no
[21:34] <Gaming4JC> hmm
[21:34] <energY> TiredWolf: I don't know, it is a sony erricsons k600i...
[21:34] <enzotib> how to play a big wav audio file, whose content is descripted by a cue file, as produced (in win) by ExactAudioCopy?
[21:34] <my> someone uses the data danco postgresql.
[21:34] <td123> eltew:  can you give some more details?
[21:34] <wols> Gaming4JC: give each one a IP or run a dhcp server
[21:34] <tatster> a bit like "Shared Folders" in Windows
[21:34] <TiredWolf> debCarlos, wols: it can cause the same damage that running anything else at an overly high resolution can cause. and that is none, unless your monitor is remarkably old.
[21:35] <PriceChild> tatster: sudo mkdir /home/share
[21:35] <Gaming4JC> wols: How can I give each one an IP and/or make a dhcp server?
[21:35] <ejer> tatster: right-click the folder and choose properties>permissions change 'others' to can read and write... this is for sharing with other users of same local machine
[21:35] <wols> Gaming4JC: man interfaces
[21:35] <PriceChild> tatster: sudo chmod 777 /home/share

[21:35] <debCarlos> TireWolf: let's say it "was" from 1999-2002. Will it cause damage to it?
[21:35] <TiredWolf> PriceChild: perhaps a better place for that could be a subdirectory of /srv?
[21:35] <roadfish> When I use 8.04 install-CD, get tossed into busybox ... but CD does work I unplug my eSATA-PCI-card. Have been using eSATA on Feisty without problem. How should I proceed with my 8.04 install?

[21:38] <zorak> Hi i just installed amd64 ubuntu 8.04.1 on my dad's HP pavillion dv9922us and despite the fact that it has an atheros integrated wireless card (which the restricted drivers manager loads a driver for), I can't seem to get wireless working. Any ideas what the problem might be? Or how might I better diagnose the problem?
[21:38] <eltew> td123: it seems to be hanging again.  could this indicate a hardware problem?
[21:38] <ohyouknow1987> hi everyone. ubuntu isnt letting me get to my school website and i need to do some work can someone help me out?
[21:38] <debCarlos> TiredWolf: Well... i don't know, it's damaged and i think it was with VirtualBox.... now it's useless, it doesn't even turn on.... but i was asking because i bought a laptop and i'm not sure about installing it, or even use VNC...
[21:38] <McShane> I have a slight problem: I ran Firefox as sudo to check for updates. When I restarted Firefox, my bookmarks, history, and cookies were all nuked -- completely gone. Reinstalling FF did nothing.
[21:39] <parrothead> i just cant stand these lines...they dont appear on the vista partition which means its definitely a drive issue
[21:39] <parrothead> driver*
[21:39] <ohyouknow1987> i cant get to kucampus.kaplan.edu
[21:39] <SeveredCross> McShane: That's because Firefox probably changed the permissions/ownership on your .mozilla folder.
[21:39] <Gaming4JC> wols: I have setup the network on Windows, but it says little or no connectivity. Is there a way to connect it to Linux from Windows?
[21:39] <SeveredCross> Wheny ou ran it as root.
[21:39] <eltew> td123: I also tried booting in safe graphics mode, same result
[21:39] <SeveredCross> Why did you want it to check for updates anyway?
[21:39] <TiredWolf> debCarlos, a laptop comes with an LCD monitor, you can't damage that with software.
[21:39] <joaopinto> zorak, have you configured the network on the network manager applet ?
[21:39] <SeveredCross> This isn't Windows, update-manager will handle Firefox updates for you no problem.
[21:39] <SeveredCross> TiredWolf: Sure you can.
[21:40] <TiredWolf> debCarlos: besides really, i *highly* doubt you could even manage that with a CRT from 2000
[21:40] <zorak> it won't let me add any new networks in NetworkManager, joaopinto
[21:40] <jose__> Hello can anyone help me to uncompress the kernel please?
[21:40] <td123> eltew: what was your message before freezing
[21:40] <McShane> SeveredCross: Okay, so how can I fix the permissions?
[21:40] <ohyouknow1987> can someone help me plz...
[21:40] <TiredWolf> SeveredCross: perhaps if you flip it on and off via ACPI three dozens times
[21:40] <SeveredCross> jose__: Why do you need to uncompress the kernel?
[21:40] <ejer> jose__: what are you trying to do? where did kernel come from? what is file type?
[21:40] <SeveredCross> McShane: Try this, in a terminal, run sudo chown -R yourusername: .mozilla
[21:40] <eltew> td123:
[21:40] <eltew> kernel alive
[21:40] <eltew> kernel direct mapping tables up to 230000000 @ 8000-12000
[21:40] <debCarlos> TiredWolf: Whoa, thanks :)
[21:40] <Gaming4JC> ohyouknow1987: What seems to be the problem, maybe your blocked. try a proxy such as www.the-cloak.com ?
[21:40] <eltew> td123: from then it just has a blinking curser.
[21:40] <jose__> to fix an error that I have with my video card
[21:41] <deever> bobertdos: ath0 is the ap
[21:41] <SeveredCross> jose__: Are you trying to compile your own, newer kernel?
[21:41] <ejer> jose__: unless you know what you are doing it is not advisable to do this... are you following some instructions?
[21:41] <devil> hello ladies
[21:41] <eltew> Further information: mobo ASUS m3a-h/hdmi .  chipset: 780g
[21:41] <jose__> yes
[21:41] <unop> !ot | devil
[21:41] <SeveredCross> McShane: If that doesn't fix it, you might need to chmod some files too, but you shouldn't.
[21:41] <jose__> where can I paste the error
[21:41] <jose__> can someone
[21:41] <devil> I can help :)
[21:41] <SeveredCross> jose__: Is it absolutely crucial that you do that?
[21:41] <SeveredCross> Compiling your own kernel is not really a great idea.
[21:41] <ejer> jose__: paste.ubuntu.com
[21:41] <devil> I just built kde from source :D
[21:42] <jose__> thanks
[21:42] <McShane> SeveredCross: That worked, thanks much!
[21:42] <SeveredCross> Especially if you don't know all te hardware in your machine.
[21:42] <debCarlos> TiredWolf: But... how you know it?
[21:42] <SeveredCross> McShane: You're welcome! :)
[21:42] <Gaming4JC> !kubuntu | devil
[21:42] <ohyouknow1987> gaming4jc: it worked.....why cant i do it without the proxy?

[21:42] <zorak> it is strange because under lspci it says  Capabilities: <access denied>
[21:42] <jose__> check that out
[21:42] <parrothead> is there any other place i could look for a nvidia driver for a 8400m ?
[21:42] <debCarlos> TiredWolf: The LCD thing? That software can't damage it?
[21:42] <Gaming4JC> ohyouknow1987: For some reason your being blocked, contact your system administrator and/or the site asking them why. give them your IP from www.ipchicken.com
[21:42] <SeveredCross> zorak: Yeah, you can't get capabilities without root.
[21:43] <SeveredCross> jose__: Oh, you don't need teh kernel source.
[21:43] <TtyS2> is there a easy to use fw for ubuntu 8.04 gnome
[21:43] <SeveredCross> Install linux-kernel-headers
[21:43] <jose__> but its giving me the rror
[21:43] <ohyouknow1987> gaming4jc: thanks a lot. i can get my schoolwork done now
[21:43] <SeveredCross> TtyS2: Ubuntu 8.04 comes with a firewall, though it's commandline only.
[21:43] <alec> can anyone help me. i just bought an ipod and i dont know how to use it in linux
[21:43] <jose__> error and is not letting me install the drivers
[21:43] <Gaming4JC> ohyouknow1987: np. :)
[21:43] <SeveredCross> jose__: It's tellling you that you only need the kernel headers. Learn to read.
[21:43] <SeveredCross> alec: Which iPod?
[21:43] <alec> nano
[21:43] <jose__> but I installed it yesterday
[21:43] <SeveredCross> Hmm. Those should be compatible.
[21:43] <Gaming4JC> How do I connect to Ubuntu over an ethernet cable from Windows?
[21:43] <eltew> td123: trying now, thank you
[21:43] <ejer> !ipod
[21:44] <TiredWolf> debCarlos, the reason you could damage old CRT monitors using high resolutions was that the cathode ray tube would try to sync to a very high frequency it just couldn't mantain. that could result in physical damage to the CRT. LCDs can't, by definition, have this issue, and also all CRTs that aren't prehistoric have safety circuits to avoid this.
[21:44] <SeveredCross> Oh, sorry, you do need teh kernel source.
[21:44] <td123> eltew: cool, let me know
[21:44] <SeveredCross> jose__: linux-kernel-source should get it?
[21:44] <zorak> SeveredCross, thanks I can see the capabilities now but it says the card is disabled?
[21:44] <jose__> I got it
[21:44] <zorak> how do I enable it?
[21:44] <Gaming4JC> or does anything need to be setup on Ubuntu first?
[21:44] <jose__> can you tell me the commands for that please?
[21:44] <zorak> because the restricted driver manager says the driver is in use
[21:44] <TtyS2> SeveredCross: how do i activate it, and do i need to sett upp a bunche of policy rules before being able to go from lan to wan?
[21:44] <debCarlos> TiredWolf: Ok, thanks for the explanation :)
[21:45] <SeveredCross> TtyS2: To be totally honest, ufw is pretty bare-bones as far as I know, and it's all CLI.
[21:45] <SeveredCross> Try ufw --help or man ufw at the terminal.
[21:45] <ejer> Gaming4JC: what re you trying to do
[21:45] <SeveredCross> Why do you need a firewall?
[21:45] <ManualOverDozer8> you can setup profiles to switch networks with a single click
[21:45] <TtyS2> thanks
[21:45] <ManualOverDozer8> save the profiles otherwise they wont be saved as one
[21:45] <ejer> Gaming4JC: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethernet_crossover_cable
[21:45] <Gaming4JC> ejer: I have two computers (Windows XP Home, and Ubuntu Hardy) both have ethernet cards, and an ethernet line connected to each other.
[21:46] <Gaming4JC> I need to make them connect over this method if possible
[21:46] <ejer> see link above Gaming4JC you need a hub or a special cable
[21:46] <Gaming4JC> and I know it is possible since some others have managed to do it.

[21:47] <geirha> gex0q1: perhaps that's the reason why they invented irc-clients?
[21:47] <max__> where are those settings stored
[21:48] <linusz> err, i'm having some troubles in changing the keyboard layout from console. actually, i just can't figure how to do it, any ideas?
[21:48] <gex0q1> test

[21:50] <phantomcircuit> stupid question, how do i get the MAC address for a wireless card?
[21:51] <Odd-rationale> phantomcircuit: ifconfig
[21:51] <debCarlos> TiredWolf: Speaking about screens... what's better: 1)Don't have any screen saver (Leave it to none) or 2)Have a black screen saver  ?
[21:51] <Odd-rationale> debCarlos: use black screen :)
[21:51] <tlove> How do i find my local ip address for my router? like my windows pc says it's 192.168.1.144. What's my Ubuntu one?
[21:51] <debCarlos> Odd-rationale: ok, thanks
[21:52] <geirha> phantomcircuit: should also be available in network-manager. Right click the network-manager icon in the notification area and select connection information (granted that you are connected using wireless atm)
[21:52] <RequinB4> tlove: ifconfig
[21:52] <phaverkamp> tlove: terminal ifconfig

[21:53] <mmmmm> hi
[21:54] <RequinB4> hello mmmmm
[21:54] <geirha> !hi
[21:54] <mmmmm> I installed ubuntu on my windows machine using wubi
[21:54] <TiredWolf> debCarlos: don't have any screen saver, and get the screen to power off after some minutes.
[21:54] <TiredWolf> debCarlos: helps your battery and, if you care, the environment.
[21:54] <max__> where would aliases be written down other than .bashrc
[21:54] <mmmmm> so I did not need to make a partition for it. but now I would like to. Do I have to install it all again or is there a way to migrating it somehow to its own partition?
[21:55] <zorak> does anyone know why ubuntu would be able to detect and load drivers for a wireless chipset and yet be unable to detect any networks?
[21:55] <ManualOverDozer8> /etc/modprobe.d/aliases
[21:56] <max__> ManualOverDo talking to me?
[21:56] <ManualOverDozer8> someone asked of aliases
[21:56] <ManualOverDozer8> that is the file yes max_
[21:56] <debCarlos> TiredWolf: So, you say a good time for screen to turn off is like 10-15 minutes ?
[21:56] <ejer> max__: http://www.hypexr.org/bash_tutorial.php#config
[21:57] <unop> max__, you can define aliases in ~/.bashrc .. or ~/.bash_aliases  if the file exists and is sourced by ~/.bashrc
[21:57] <ManualOverDozer8> or atleast the one i think you are looking for
[21:57] <max__> ManualOverDozer8: how do i check what an alias is
[21:57] <wols> max__: man bash
[21:57] <ManualOverDozer8> max_ unop knows whats going on, listen to unop
[21:57] <Flannel> mmmmm: There are ways, here's a howto: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=438591 it also covers how to just transfer all your data if it doesn't work

[21:58] <max__> ManualOverDo how do i check what an alias does?
[21:59] <ManualOverDozer8> max_ what is your need to use an alias, would depend on the answer

[22:01] <mmmmm> :-)
[22:02] <max__> can someone tell me how to check what an alias explicitly does?
[22:02] <Flannel> mmmmm: if you lose it for whatever reason, I also found (afterwards, of course), that it's here: http://wubi-installer.org/faq.php
[22:02] <ejer> max__: you have been told many times
[22:02] <geirha> max__: read the man page to whatever the alias is aliasing
[22:03] <human-> max_ man bash and search ALIAS (/ALIAS)
[22:03] <face-shot> when I run the same application from the terminal, Alt+F2, and "Applications" menu, they all seem to have diffirent configurations, for example the gnome calculator -- view changes are only transferred to whatever method I started the app with -- is there any way to "unify" this?

[22:04] <deever> the two hosts can't ping each other...why?
[22:04] <TiredWolf> debCarlos: well it depends on the way you use it, but yes, i'd say so myself
[22:05] <ejer> face-shot: never noticed this... not sure why that would happen
[22:05] <face-shot> it's strange, do you experience the same thing on your end?
[22:05] <TiredWolf> debCarlos: make it too short, and it ends up turning off all the time, which is both annoying and unhealthy to the monitor. 10-15 minutes is an ok compromise for most people, i'd say
[22:05] <ejer> face-shot: with calc yes, but for example firefox or virtualbox, no... it may be a bug in calc
[22:05] <face-shot> yeah, calc and vmware do this to me :(
[22:06] <face-shot> oh well, thanks for confirming :)

[22:12] <Daisuke_Laptop> instead of flooding the channel, perhaps we can get an idea of what you're actually looking for
[22:12] <dudeeee34> Hey guys.
[22:12] <RequinB4> !hi

[22:12] <dudeeee34> I need a little bit of help.
[22:12] <Daisuke_Laptop> dudeeee34: go ahead and ask your question
[22:12] <vassler> oh sorry.
[22:13] <dudeeee34> How do I add more memory to ubuntu. I installed it using wubi.
[22:13] <dudeeee34> I only gave it 10 GB.
[22:14] <vassler> does anyone have any info to give me about my question?
[22:14] <Flannel> vassler: You need to give us information first.
[22:14] <puritycontrol> :dudeee34 do you mean hard disk drive space or memory?
[22:14] <geirha> dudeeee34: wubi is generally only meant to testing ubuntu ... perhaps you should install it on a seperate partition instead?
[22:14] <dudeeee34> hard disk spac
[22:15] <shane_> vassler sudo apt-get remove compiz
[22:15] <RequinB4> vassler: metacity --replace &
[22:15] <puritycontrol> you could use gparted to increase the size of your partition if you have more space on your disk drive
[22:15] <dudeeee34> Well what i did was. I have ubuntu 8.04 and it gave me something menu.
[22:15] <cottima> hello, is there a way to send someone updates on cd?
[22:15] <Flannel> cottima: yes!  check out AptOnCD
[22:15] <vassler> flannel: i asked how to downgrade to ubuntu 6.06/beryl because i hate compiz and can't get it to work right.
[22:15] <Leefmc> Question: Anyone familiar with BTNX& Revoco? It seems my MX Revolution is showing the wrong Vendor and Product ID to btnx, and thus making it not be seen by revoco, etc. Both my laptop and my macpro share the same mouse xorg config, so any idea whats wrong?
[22:15] <Flannel> vassler: Yes, you've asked that a number of times, but you won't respond to anyone's questions.
[22:15] <cottima> thank you Flannel
[22:16] <geirha> vassler: it's not supported for good reasons. If you want to go back to 6.06, you'll have to reinstall
[22:16] <Mr_Giraffe> hmm, does anyone know anything about CPU scaling in ubuntu?  for some reason whenever i unplug my laptop the processor stays stuck at 800MHz and i can't increase it...
[22:16] <dudeeee34> I Found ubuntu an amazing operating system.
[22:16] <Flannel> vassler: What don't you like about compiz-fusion (and what did you like about beryl?)
[22:16] <dudeeee34> But I dont know if i should delete Vista.
[22:16] <RequinB4> vassler - typing metacity --replace & will have metacity, the default window manager, not compiz, do your windows
[22:17] <Copperpot> dudeeee34, for what do you use Vista?
[22:17] <dudeeee34> Games
[22:17] <f11f12> hi, does anyone use anjuta and svn for development and versioning?
[22:17] <dudeeee34> That is the only reason
[22:17] <Copperpot> dudeeee34, Cedega is your solution
[22:17] <dudeeee34> Cedega?
[22:17] <puritycontrol> :dudeeee34 if it is on a desktop machine you could add another hard disk drive and then you could keep vista
[22:17] <Copperpot> then you could delete Vista
[22:17] <RequinB4> dudeeee34 - not a reason to not use vista.  really, better safe then sorry
[22:17] <Copperpot> yes dudeeee34, I play F1 Challenge in Cedega
[22:17] <dudeeee34> I want to play GTA San andreas
[22:18] <dudeeee34> will Cedega work?
[22:18] <ohyouknow1987> anyone know a free proxy that lets me login to websites?

[22:18] <Flannel> dudeeee34: You can migrate your wubi install to its own partition too, and have a proper dual boot. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=438591

[22:20] <dudeeee34> No.
[22:20] <ohyouknow1987> i need help....my school is blocking my ip for some reason and i need a proxy that will let me login
[22:20] <dudeeee34> You can buy ubuntu?
[22:21] <unop> RequinB4, that's speculative and also biased - also offtopic
[22:21] <Flannel> vassler: What problems? and how have you tried to resolve them?  6.06 will only be supported for another year on the desktop, you'll have to use compiz-fusion evenually
[22:21] <dudeeee34> I thought it was free.
[22:21] <almostdvs> i'm trying to mount my digital camera and i'm getting mount:  wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock etc...
[22:21] <ohyouknow1987> can someone help me plz
[22:21] <vassler> Flannel: not if refuse to download any updates, just ignore any update notifications!
[22:21] <duiu> dudeeee34: IT is free, but Best Buy sells it :)
[22:21] <Flannel> dudeeee34: It is, but you can still buy it.
[22:22] <dudeeee34> Well then Im going to Go delete Windows... And my pc will be all UBUNTU.

[22:22] <billy12> in nautilus, right click "Creat new document", how do i add "template" files?
[22:22] <Leefmc> Question: If i screw xorg up, or if my desktop is screwed up, etc, how do i boot straight into ubuntu terminal, and not into xdesktop ?
[22:22] <javagamer> If I installed Ubuntu server and want to install some of the stuff on the CD will I have to reinstall?
[22:22] <dudeeee34> Yes
[22:22] <DRebellion> javagamer, no
[22:22] <nickrud> billy12, create the directory ~/Templates, and put the files there
[22:22] <td123> javagamer: no
[22:23] <hocmin> Does ubuntu server support a headless install?  If so, are there any guides available?
[22:23] <Flannel> vassler: because there are bugs found all the time, and not fixing security holes means you're vulnerable.
[22:23] <billy12> nickrud, thnax, thats case sensitive?
[22:23] <krazihrz> Leefmc: if you b0rked X up and it won't start, the terminal login will eventually appear after a few failed attempts to start X
[22:23] <Flannel> hocmin: you might have more luck in #ubuntu-server
[22:23]  * obx pesma01.mp3 -  -  (x«amarok)

[22:23] <td123> is there a way to disable who left in the pidgin irc?

[22:24] <Leefmc> krazihrz: Well forget X, is there a way to boot straight into the terminal during boot up?
[22:24] <javagamer> How do I get the software on the disc installed now that I have the server installed?  Should I boot from the disc and will there be an option there, or will apt-get recognize that the disc is in?
[22:24] <human-> almostdvs: paste command
[22:24] <simard> can someone point me to a site explaining how to build a kernel for ubuntu, WITHOUT kernel-package ?
[22:24] <krazihrz> Leefmc: yup, apt-get remove gdm
[22:24] <f11f12> hocmin: you can work over a serial console if you have a serial terminal
[22:24] <Flannel> javagamer: what do you mean?
[22:24] <DRebellion> javagamer, put the disc in and apt-get will recognize it as long as you a have the disc repo enabled
[22:24] <almostdvs> human-:  what is it your asking me for?
[22:24] <Leefmc> krazihrz: ... So your giving me a terminal command to use.. to get into terminal? :p
[22:24] <billy12> nickrud, shouldnt that be a hidden dir?
[22:25] <simard> Leefmc: this is going to remove gnome window manager
[22:25] <javagamer> DRebellion: Is the disc rep enabled by default?  If not which file do I change to enable it?
[22:25] <krazihrz> Leefmc: so you're in X and you can't figure out how to get a terminal?
[22:25] <Leefmc> simard: I realize, i was just being a bit sarcastic hehe
[22:25] <mats_> any1 to help with installing drivers for epson dx4450?
[22:25] <DRebellion> javagamer, i can't remember. Check /etc/sources.list
[22:25] <Flannel> javagamer: did you just install from that disk? then it is enabled by default.  If not, sudo apt-cdrom add
[22:25] <vassler> flannel: how do you suppose i resolve this compiz/emerald "no boarders" and "window positioning" problem. i fear my graphics card my not be supported anymore by the new ubuntu distrobution.
[22:25] <simard> Leefmc: what you want is echo "xterm" > ~/.xinitrc
[22:25] <unop> Leefmc, you can disable the GDM and not actually remove it - that will boot you straight up into the console
[22:25] <nickrud> billy not that I remember, and on this machine (a vm I've done little to nothing on) there is already a Templates
[22:25] <human-> almostdvs u mean msg appeared in a window?
[22:26] <Leefmc> krazihrz: No. If i am booting my computer up, and i do not want to go into X at all (for whatever reason), how would i do that.
[22:26] <DRebellion> javagamer, sorry, /etc/apt/sources.list
[22:26] <DRebellion> :P
[22:26] <Moth> just got spammed
[22:26] <krazihrz> if you don't want X, just remove it
[22:26] <Moth> pm spam about bras
[22:26] <Leefmc> unop: Yea but that has to be done before hand, correct?
[22:26] <unop> simard, careful, he might have something in his ~/.xinitrc that he might lose with that command
[22:26] <td123> vassler: have you tried turning the visual effects to none?
[22:26] <nickrud> billy12, and it does work
[22:26] <unop> Leefmc, it can be done at any time
[22:26] <simard> Leefmc: what you want is echo "xterm" >> ~/.xinitrc
[22:26] <almostdvs> human nevermind i got it to work
[22:26] <simard> unop: right
[22:26] <billy12> nickrud, thnx, the folder was allready there
[22:26] <Leefmc> So i am guessing it is impossible, since no one has a simple answer hehe :) (Ie, during boot hold F5523)
[22:27] <obx> yeah i should
[22:27] <krazihrz> do you want to keep X?
[22:27] <Leefmc> simard: So.. i type "echo "xterm" during the boot process? eh?
[22:27] <obx> runaway script
[22:27] <simard> Leefmc: this isnt what I said
[22:27] <davidfetter> hello
[22:27] <unop> Leefmc, if you want to get to the console -- press CTRL+ALT+f1  and ctrl+alt+f7 to get back
[22:27] <Leefmc> simard: Well i assume you were saying something regarding my question of "how to not load x during boot" :)
[22:28] <javagamer> The first line I see is "deb cdrom:" commented out, should I just uncomment it?
[22:28] <nickrud> javagamer, maybe; better to use  sudo apt-cdrom add , then follow the instructions
[22:28] <simard> Leefmc: oh I thought you wanted X to load.. but show a command line instead of GNOME
[22:28] <davidfetter> whom do i pester about getting recent versions of postgres into g and h?
[22:28] <Leefmc> Anyway, imma stick with "not possible" hehe :p
[22:28] <unop> Leefmc, errm, you could boot up into the single user mode where X doesn't run?  afaik, there is no magic keypress to stop the GDM from loading
[22:28] <krazihrz> Leefmc: ok here you go, mv /etc/rc5.d/S30gdm /etc/rc5.d/K30gdm
[22:28] <davidfetter> er, gutsy and hardy
[22:28] <heartsblood> when i'm transferring files from sata/ide or ide/sata I get transfer rates of ~2MBps or less.  what could cause this?
[22:29] <kazanova1> gjhf
[22:29] <nickrud> krazihrz, close, but rc2.d ;)
[22:29] <krazihrz> that will STOP gdm from starting during boot
[22:29] <Leefmc> simard: Actually i thought X was all part of the Desktop Enviorment. I just want to not load any desktop environment.. if needed.. during boot up.. some random time.
[22:29]  * chalcedony smiles
[22:29] <krazihrz> oh dammit
[22:29] <krazihrz> you're right
[22:29] <Leefmc> unop: K, thanks :)
[22:29] <Flannel> davidfetter: You'll have to pester the backports people about getting them in -backports, they won't be upgraded in the main repos.
[22:29] <davidfetter> k
[22:29] <Leefmc> So, impossible. haha :)
[22:29] <chalcedony> how can one change write permissions on files ? from read only ?
[22:29] <davidfetter> thanks, Flannel :)
[22:29] <unop> krazihrz, though it might be better to use update-rc.d to do that
[22:29] <td123> !chmod | chalcedony
[22:29] <puritycontrol> :chalcedony chmod +w filename
[22:30] <Raz0R> how do i change my wireless network card's driver????????
[22:30] <nickrud> chalcedony, if it's on a unix filesystem, chmod u+x filename
[22:30] <vassler> flannel: okay then, what is the proper specifications for the newest distrobution of ubuntu 8.04/ compiz-fusion, what graphics card is best?
[22:30] <krazihrz> not familiar with update-rc.d
[22:30] <unop> Leefmc, it's not something that will hold you back .. you can always drop down into a console while X/GDM is loading
[22:30] <nickrud> !info update-rc.d | krazihrz
[22:30] <nickrud> heh
[22:30] <chalcedony> ty so much nickrud , puritycontrol td123
[22:30] <Leefmc> unop: I know, it was just a question :). Bit confusing to some, my bad most likely.
[22:30] <crimsun> davidfetter: 8.3.3 are in gusty-backports and hardy-backports.
[22:30] <Flannel> vassler: I have no idea which graphics card is "best", but any supported ones should be fine.
[22:30] <tag> It appears that compiz and java (swing) don't play together very nicely.  Is there a good work around for this?
[22:30] <davidfetter> crimsun, cool :)
[22:30] <crimsun> davidfetter: sorry, gutsy-backports and hardy-updates
[22:30] <javagamer> Thanks for all the help, it says it added the disc to the sources list, now all I need is a list of the packages I can install from it (specifically the options in gave me when installing, like SSH Server and Mail Server [I accidentally skipped them])
[22:31] <td123> vassler: if you can see anything on your screen, that's good
[22:31] <simard> Leefmc: you may want to look at /etc/rc2.d
[22:31] <nickrud> javagamer, sudo tasksel
[22:31] <simard> Leefmc: these scripts get executed in numeric order
[22:31] <unop> krazihrz, update-rc.d gdm stop 30 2 .  # should do it
[22:31] <simard> Leefmc: one of them must start X
[22:31] <kazanova1> kjkvhjkgc
[22:31] <Leefmc> krazihrz: Again, just to explain what i was talking about, i _randomly_ did not want X to load. If during a boot process, i wanted no desktop what-so-ever to load, i wanted to know how to do that. So moving files or settings AHEAD OF TIME is not possible, because it is not what i had wanted. :)
[22:31] <td123> vassler: no joke either, I'm using a radeon 9000, don't laugh :P
[22:31] <human-> somebody knows what means the symbol over the emule folder? http://img356.imageshack.us/img356/1092/schermatavh6.png
[22:31] <vassler> flannel: okay then, what is the proper specifications for the newest distrobution of ubuntu 8.04/ compiz-fusion, what graphics card is best? because i'm only running a 1.3ghz amd/512mb sdram/ nvidia 5200 128mb eG-Force FX ? anyone info you can give me?
[22:32] <nickrud> Leefmc, if you know that's what you want, boot into single, make the change, then type exit
[22:32] <unop> simard, not really numeric order .. it's actually lexical order
[22:32] <hocmin> Does ubuntu server support a headless install?  If so, are there any guides available?
[22:32] <krazihrz> Leefmc: renaming the rc2.d fill with stop it from loading everytiime, and all you would have to do after login to start X would be /etc/init.d/gdm start
[22:32] <Leefmc> nickrud: "boot into single"?
[22:32] <javagamer> Thanks a bunch!  Now time to test my new server :)
[22:32] <Flannel> vassler: You should be fine.  That's actually the graphics card I have.
[22:32] <nickrud> Leefmc, recovery mode == single user mode
[22:32] <td123> vassler: you should be fine, my graphics card is about half the specs of your card :)
[22:33] <simard> unop: lexical ? from S00 to S99 isnt it ?
[22:33] <fr500> are there any advantages of using pulseaudio over alsa?
[22:33] <nickrud> fr500, pulseaudio runs on top of alsa, you use both
[22:33] <krazihrz> alsa uses less letters
[22:33] <Leefmc> krazihrz: Argh lol! No, renaming it ahead of time is done _ahead of time_. I can do many things to stop my desktop from loading _ahead of time_ (including just breaking it loi), but i was asking how to do it randomly. Ie, NOT planned. Eg: During the boot process hold down F345 and no desktop will load.
[22:33] <unop> simard, right, but also the K* scripts first .. lexical in the sense K before S, 00 before 99, etc
[22:33] <fr500> nickrud: i see but pulseaudio makes sound choppy in sdlmame, not working in wine choppy in warsow, etc
[22:33] <Leefmc> krazihrz: I realize its impossible, i am trying to just explain it to you now.. heh
[22:34] <Jessicapl> Hi all
[22:34] <dottie> How do I remove a mask from a file?
[22:34] <krazihrz> Leefmc: but it is!
[22:34] <Leefmc> krazihrz: Not if your answers are any indication of its possibility.
[22:34] <nickrud> fr500, heh. /me waits for intrepid for sound, like hardy, and gutsy, and ... . If you know alsa and how to mix it, you can do that as well
[22:34] <etotheipi> Jessicapl: hi; how may we help? ^_^
[22:34] <krazihrz> Leefmc: ctrl-alt-backspace
[22:35] <krazihrz> oh wait
[22:35] <Leefmc> krazihrz: So you can Ctrl+Alt+Backspace to go back into time?
[22:35] <seekingtruth> hello sinners
[22:35] <Leefmc> krazihrz: :p
[22:35] <krazihrz> Leefmc: no but it will kill x :)
[22:35] <fr500> nickrud: so it's supposed to work well next version?
[22:35] <Jessicapl> etotheipi : Yes.
[22:35] <unop> Leefmc, ctrl+alt+f1
[22:35] <krazihrz> what does time have to do with it :)
[22:35] <Leefmc> krazihrz: Because last i checked, that reboots X.. rebooting tends to mean it was already loaded.. something we already discussed, is NOT desired.
[22:35] <fr500> nickrud: i like it's simple setup for mixing altough alsa is doing mixng for me out of the box
[22:35] <nickrud> fr500, better, each release has been better. As I've said before, sound in linux is a matter of black magic and incantations
[22:35] <krazihrz> Leefmc: hit the power button
[22:36] <Leefmc> krazihrz: I really must be explaining this bad.. because you are either thick (doubtful), or this is so insanely confusing that you just dont get it :p
[22:36] <td123> nickrud: and maybe some good speakers
[22:36] <krazihrz> that a guarantee
[22:36] <TiredWolf> nickrud: and cri*msun
[22:36] <Leefmc> krazihrz: As dumb as that sounds, its the closest answer you've had yet. :p
[22:36] <Jessicapl> I would like to know where to find this sentence and modify it : " Booting the system ... Press ESC for verbose mode  "
[22:36] <nickrud> TiredWolf, yeah, we do depend on shamans ;)
[22:36] <crimsun> TiredWolf: nick avoidance doesn't quite work like that.
[22:36] <nickrud> hahaha
[22:36] <TiredWolf> crimsun: *shrug*
[22:36] <etotheipi> Jessicapl: huh? lol
[22:37] <Jessicapl> Yes
[22:37] <Jessicapl> I am curious
[22:37] <tekstacy> what is the command to switch display managers?
[22:37] <tekstacy> er, switch to kdm
[22:37] <Jessicapl> Iwant to change the key to ,for example S intead of ESC
[22:38] <nickrud> tekstacy, sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm
[22:38] <td123> !kdm | tekstacy
[22:38] <human-> ﻿tekstacy: dpkg-reconfigure gdm
[22:38] <unop> tekstacy, sudo dpkg-reconfigure kdm
[22:38] <Leefmc> krazihrz: Out of curiosity, did you finally understand what my original desire was?
[22:38] <tekstacy> cool, thanks
[22:38] <Altreus-work> 'lo. My brightness hotkeys don't work on my Vaio - can I reduce it with software somehow?
[22:38] <unop> Jessicapl, is this the message you see at the grub screen?
[22:39] <Jessicapl> yes
[22:39] <phaedral> howdy; I've got 50 7megapixel jpgs I want to batch-convert to png; not sure what tool will do this for me
[22:39] <cottima> I am having trouble installing a printer. a website says I can use gimp-print-ijs.  how do I install it?
[22:39] <unop> Leefmc, i think we all did, and we all expressed in long terms that what you wish for is kind of impossible
[22:39] <unop> Jessicapl, i guess you will have to hack into grub's source for that
[22:39] <massIV> Altreus-work, I think if you right click the top or bottom panel you can add a brightness applet
[22:40] <phaedral> looking for a tool to batch-convert a mess of big jpgs to smaller pngs; suggestions?
[22:40] <Mar2> Issue: Running Live CD, closed and rebooted to XP. Two drives (RAID 0) not detected by Windows. Can you help with a fix?
[22:40] <phaedral> :(
[22:40] <phaedral> sorry to parrot, meant to switch windows
[22:40] <simard> Leefmc: so, look at /etc/init.d/gdm .. this script runs /usr/sbin/gdm , which is the Gnome Window Manager, responsible for running X
[22:40] <Altreus-work> massIV: good call, cheers
[22:41] <Altreus-work> massIV: although it doesn't seem to work :<
[22:41] <nickrud> cottima, iirc those drivers are in gimp-gutenprint , if you install it the drivers should show up automatically in the printer dialogs
[22:41] <massIV> Altreus-work, the applet doesnt? or it isnt there?
[22:42] <Altreus-work> The applet exists but it doesn't change anything
[22:42] <pretender_> can anyone point me to a deb file for citrix ica client
[22:42] <cottima> thank you nickrud
[22:42] <crimsun> Altreus-work: if you have /proc/acpi/video/VGA/LCD/brightness or something resembling that path, you likely can alter it from a terminal.
[22:42] <nickrud> phaedral, if you install nautilus-image-converter, you'll get a batch converter in the right click menu
[22:42] <Diffen> hello. are there anyway to edit a .conf file for keyboard? i can only use two of my buttons on my keyboard on my ubuntu installation. im running on live cd now and everything works fine
[22:42] <massIV> Altreus-work, oh, I'll try googling for the article i read on how to fix the keys, that should help
[22:42] <phaedral> nickrud, thanks!!
[22:43] <Tricky> hi all! does anybody know a decent rss reader for gnome-panel? thx
[22:43] <simard> Lee-nospam: seen my message ?
[22:43] <Lee-nospam> simard: Possibly not, was it after my last message?
[22:43] <Altreus-work> massIV: That would rock, thanks
[22:43] <simard> Lee-nospam: so, look at /etc/init.d/gdm .. this script runs /usr/sbin/gdm , which is the Gnome Window Manager, responsible for running X
[22:43] <kushal1> can I install clamav on a live cd? will it look for windows virus?
[22:44] <Altreus-work> crimsun: in /proc/acpi/video/GFX0/DD04/brightness I have levels and current
[22:44] <unop> kushal1, yes and yes
[22:44] <massIV> Altreus-work, google 'Ubuntu fix brightness keys' and it should be match #1
[22:44] <Lee-nospam> simard: Heh, thats not really the point of the idea though man. :), no worries
[22:44] <kushal1> unop, just one more question, will it heal files on the hard disk?
[22:45] <simard> Lee-nospam: ok well I didnt read the initial question anyway
[22:45] <Lee-nospam> simard: Ah gotcha :)
[22:45] <unop> kushal1, errm, not really sure -- it might depend on the particular infection - in anycase, it will prompt you on what to do
[22:45] <Lee-nospam> simard: That i can understand hehe
[22:45] <td123> kushal1: if clamav supports it, why not
[22:45] <Chobo-Mog> Hi.  Does anyone know if there is a way to stop all audio processes and restart the sound server (Audigy 2zs/ALSA + Pulse Audio) on Hardy?
[22:46] <deever> anyone running an wlan ap under linux?
[22:46] <deever> http://rafb.net/p/N6zwA570.html
[22:46] <deever> the two hosts can't ping each other...why?
[22:46] <massIV> Altreus-work, or you could look for another article that just tells you what changes to make
[22:46] <Chobo-Mog> I've had the issue where, in Rhythmbox and Banshee music players, after working for a period of time (ranging from minutes to hours) the audio will randomly stop working.
[22:46] <unop> kushal1, just make sure you get the latest virus definitions from the online database
[22:46] <Chobo-Mog> When performing a test in System>Preferences>Sound, which had until that point played the test tone perfectly, the error “audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink: Failed to connect: Connection refused” comes up.
[22:46] <Chobo-Mog> Restarting X completely, through ctrl-alt-backapace or restarting the computer fixes the problem EVERY TIME.  I'm assuming this is because it forces the sound to restart, along with the rest of the desktop.  However, it is a major hassle since all of the running applications also close.
[22:46] <zeeee> hi, how do i use update-alternatives to switch all my java-related commands? (javac, javah, java, etc.)
[22:47] <Altreus-work> massIV: cheers. also, it is worth noting that catting /proc/acpi/video/GFX0/DD04/state will crash the whole laptop :(
[22:48] <massIV> Altreus-work, dont know why that would be... see ya, hope u get it fixed
[22:49] <newbe1> hello all
[22:49] <zeeee> hi, how do switch all my java-related commands from one implementation to another (e.g. sun to openjdk)? (javac, javah, java, etc.)
[22:50] <prower> Chobo-Mog, I don't know what the solution would be but the most active bug thread on the problem you're having is here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.20/+bug/99659
[22:50] <kushal1> unop, just one more question, will it heal files on the hard disk?
[22:51] <prower> Chobo-Mog: Someone in the thread mentions a solution at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingSoundProblems worked
[22:51] <Mar2> Any help on how to get XP to see my HDs that disappeared after running LiveCD?
[22:51] <unop> **REPEAT** kushal1,  not really sure -- it might depend on the particular infection - in anycase, it will prompt you on what to do
[22:51] <kushal1> well, when I ran the live cd under places, there was 20.1 GB hard disk and when I clicked on it, Ubuntu returned an error and could not access the drive
[22:52] <lovetruth> hello sinners
[22:52] <zeeee> oh, apparently there's a cmd update-java-alternatives
[22:52] <lovetruth> zeeee: i missed you, how you been?
[22:53] <newbe1> sinners
[22:53] <fcrx7turbo> anyway i can make my transfer from desktop to usb faster its 2mb/sec
[22:53] <unop> kushal1, your drive could be failing to mount because it was not properly dismounted when shutting down windows -- you could force ubuntu to mount it.  at a terminal.  sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /mnt/
[22:54] <lovetruth> newbe1: are you a sinner too?>\
[22:54] <unop> kushal1, substitute /dev/sda1 with the right device name for the partition in question
[22:54] <Flannel> lovetruth: Please take it elsewhere.
[22:54] <Chobo-Mog> prower  Thanks.  I'mm have a read through it all and check out those possible solutions.
[22:54] <Chobo-Mog> prower  I'll post back here if anything is successful
[22:54] <newbe1> we all sin
[22:55] <unop> !ot | newbe1, lovetruth
[22:57] <Sorlag> Good evening everybody.. can anyone maybe help me? my ZNES has no sound .. everything else has..
[22:57] <kushal1> unop, how do I know what to substitute?
[22:57] <Mar2> Need help! Am I in the right place?
[22:58] <unop> kushal1,  sudo fdisk -l  # will list all the partitions on physical harddrives, you should be able to guess which device from the descriptions there
[22:58] <mrpockets> hey guys
[22:58] <AzizLight> hi everybody
[22:58] <mrpockets> I'm running Ubuntu 8.4 , Wanna configure samba to share files with my server on the domain
[22:59] <zvacet> !ask | Mar2
[22:59] <unop> !samba
[22:59] <AzizLight> is it normal that when I use rm to remove a file it is completely removed (the file doesnt go to the trash)?
[22:59] <unop> AzizLight, it is
[22:59] <ompaul> AzizLight, that is now rm works
[22:59] <glitsj16> AzizLight: yes, that's the point of rm
[23:00] <duiu> Is there a way to make 'sudo shutdown -h now' to run when I hit the power button on my computer?
[23:00] <AzizLight> unop, ompaul , glitsj16 : thanks
[23:00] <glitsj16> 3 confirmations in 5 seconds .. not bad :)
[23:01] <kushal1> on another desktop I have, I cannot access the Internet http://pastebin.com/m23753eee
[23:01] <kushal1> it asks for password.
[23:02] <JohnMcCain> does it allow you to ping outside ip's ?
[23:02] <kushal1> no
[23:02] <JohnMcCain> are you going through a wifi router that prompts you?
[23:02] <kushal1> yes
[23:03] <kushal1> well, I get connected silently on the other computer with Live CD
[23:03] <kushal1> so i am pretty sure i don't need a password
[23:04] <kushal1> i set up a password on the linksys wireless router so that changing the setting would need a password. even the wireless network is unsecured
[23:04] <JohnMcCain> does it have mac address filtering ?
[23:04] <kushal1> I am not sure
[23:05] <JohnMcCain> could you run a trace route to www.google.com and post it to pastebin?
[23:05] <shane_> whats the best ftp client out there
[23:05] <energY> shane_: No such thing
[23:06] <energY> Sftp is best
[23:06] <kushal1> how can I trace route?
[23:06] <JohnMcCain> sudo apt-get install traceroute
[23:07] <kushal1> something that is strange is that I get "2 updates available"
[23:07] <moreau> hey whats the commnad that runs in terminal that allowsme to clicka  window and it tells me the properties (name, type, group) etc
[23:07] <kushal1> how did it know there were updates available?
[23:07] <JohnMcCain> sudo apt-get update
[23:08] <JohnMcCain> to make sure you have the latest repositories
[23:08] <BBin> Hey, I want wget 1.11.4 in hardy. How do i do that?
[23:08] <Raz0R> how do i blacklist adriver
[23:09] <crimsun> BBin: file a backport request
[23:09] <JohnMcCain> kusha, are you running hardy server ?or ubuntu with GUI
[23:09] <DIFH-iceroot> no firefox 3.0 in ubuntu 7.10 repos? i got with apt-get install firefox-3.0 something called gran paradiso (firefox alpha8)
[23:09] <Flannel> DIFH-iceroot: the backports will probably get upgraded eventually.  but no.
[23:09] <kushal1> ubuntu with gnome
[23:09] <JohnMcCain> k
[23:09] <Flannel> DIFH-iceroot: backports has beta...3? I think.
[23:09] <shane_> does filezilla support fxp
[23:09] <tag> JohnMcCain: Your slander campaign is kind of lame.  You should quit listening to Karl Rove.
[23:09] <kushal1> can I install it from ubuntu 8.04.1 live cd?
[23:10] <DIFH-iceroot> why not final 3.x? ubuntu 7.10 is not soo old
[23:10] <amatson97> yo hey guys has anyone been having problems with nautilus
[23:10] <JohnMcCain> you might be able to, I don't know
[23:10] <JohnMcCain> hehehe I have a sense of humor too
[23:10] <td123> kushal1: yes
[23:10] <Flannel> DIFH-iceroot: because 7.10 was released with firefox 2.  Firefox 3 will never be in the main repos, but might be backported
[23:10] <td123> kushal1: you have to add the cd as a source though
[23:11] <HappyHater> DIFH-iceroot, you are aware you can install software that's not in the repo, yeah?
[23:11] <DIFH-iceroot> HappyHater: i want all with the paketmanager of course
[23:11] <w8tah> hey guys -- theres a small mail agent -- to proxy mail from one system to a full blown mail server -- im having brain freeze and cant remember the name of it
[23:11] <kushal1> traceroute has no installation candidate
[23:11] <w8tah> someone help please
[23:12] <td123> DIFH-iceroot: why don't you install 8.04.1?
[23:12] <DIFH-iceroot> td123: i am using eeexbuntu
[23:12] <Flannel> w8tah: esmtp is probably easiest, nullmailer is another.
[23:12] <w8tah> nm - thanks all -- found it ssmtp
[23:12] <DIFH-iceroot> td123: 8.04.1 is not working well with my eeepc
[23:12] <amatson97> i have a major problem with nautilus it will not mount cd's right and the trash can is dead

[23:13] <td123> DIFH-iceroot: http://www.ubuntu-eee.com/index.php5?title=Main_Page
[23:13] <Flannel> shane_: filezilla doesn't support fxp, no.
[23:13] <td123> DIFH-iceroot: you shouldn't have a problem since all eee's are basically the same
[23:13] <DIFH-iceroot> td123: i dont install something new here, its working fine
[23:13] <amatson97> has any one heard of this problem

[23:19] <Pegasos989> Heya. I'm having a problem with my ubuntu Install on another computer. It has Asus P5Q motherboard and ethernet doesn't work. Googling showed me that it is common problem but I have difficulties fixing it...
[23:19] <jose> I'm on 1680 x 1050
[23:20] <Shujah> Leefmc, you can switch to metacity fro the duration you'll be running the program
[23:20] <linkslice> is there a way to sync movies to my ipod under ubuntu? I've found rythmbox but it doesn't seem to be able to do it
[23:20] <Leefmc> Shujah: .. eh?
[23:20] <jose> right now but after I add the effect It ask me for a restart then when I come back I get low resolution
[23:21] <Shujah> Leefmc, you can install compiz-fusion-icon that'll let you switch from metacity to compiz with a single click
[23:21] <Leefmc> Shujah: K, whats metacity though?
[23:21] <jose> HappyHater I dont see my monitor in the list
[23:21] <HappyHater> choose something similar
[23:22] <jose> ok
[23:22] <Leefmc> Shujah: The standard repos have no "compiz-fusion-icon"
[23:22] <jose> done
[23:22] <Leefmc> Shujah: You talking about fusion-icon?
[23:22] <Shujah> Leefmc, search for compiz fusion icon in add remove programs
[23:22] <dblick> Could anyone clarify for me what the relationship is between the zip utility on the command line and the zlib library?
[23:23] <Zeroyez> the virtualbox channel is asleep, so how can I access a virtualbox shared folder with ubuntu as the guest OS?
[23:23] <Leefmc> Shujah: Im looking at synaptic right now, just wondering what exactly you mean since there is no compiz-fusion-icon. Do you mean fusion-icon?
[23:23] <HappyHater> yes Leefmc
[23:23] <Leefmc> k thanks
[23:23] <Shujah> Leefmc, if the description says its a system tray icon for compiz then its the one
[23:23] <jose> HappyHater now ?
[23:24] <javagamer> I skipped the network setup on my server at installation, now that I have the internet connected to it how do I run the network setup?
[23:24] <Pegasos989> Heya. I'm having a problem with my ubuntu Install on another computer. It has Asus P5Q motherboard and ethernet doesn't work. Googling showed me that it is common problem but I have difficulties fixing it...
[23:24] <Leefmc> Shujah: I just wanted to be clear. :) Especially since you also mentioned metacity, of which i dont know and is not mentioned in the description for fusion-icon
[23:24] <HappyHater> jose, I believe you gotta restart x and log back in for the changes to take effect
[23:24] <jereme> do any debs include gstfakevideo?
[23:24] <jose> ok
[23:24] <Shujah> Leefmc, Yes its the one I just checked via synaptic

[23:30] <c03> hi
[23:30] <c03> I have a problem with java in firefox
[23:30] <c03> All i see is gray rectangles
[23:30] <harpreet> wireless, my card takes unsecured networks but does not connect to WEP, asks for key over and over, any remedy?
[23:30] <c03> No java applets are functioning =/
[23:30] <harpreet> c03: use konqueror
[23:30] <Shujah> javagamer, you'll have to edit etc/network/interfaces manually
[23:31] <c03> harpreet: I have the same problem with my wireless =P
[23:31] <gyroscope> c03, use you no script addon?
[23:31] <c03> yep
[23:31] <harpreet> c03: i can help with your java
[23:31] <cee4> hi all
[23:31] <c03> and of course i unchecked
[23:31] <c03> harpreet: okay? besides the konquerer lame solution =)
[23:32] <deever> come on, noone with a linux wlan ap here?
[23:32] <cee4> anybody knows some cool desktop manager prog?
[23:32] <cee4> pls write the name
[23:33] <Mar3> I've got a dodgy wireless connection to take a new password by going to edit wireless networks in the network manager applet
[23:33] <Mar3> and deleting the  connection
[23:34] <Mar3> then re-joining it.
[23:34] <grout> im using nvidias xserver settings trying to set up my external monitor but once i enable it the external dosnt turn on
[23:34] <cee4> anyone ?
[23:34] <c03> harpreet: ???
[23:34] <gyroscope> c03, check your java plug-in path
[23:34] <Shujah> cee4, what do you mean by cool desktop manager?
[23:35] <c03> gyroscope: where?
[23:35] <rabiddachshund> Ok, so dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg auto configs the keyboard mouse and monitor, right? Well when I do it, it only does the keyboard and mouse. What can I do other than a fresh install to fix it?
[23:35] <c03> or how
[23:35] <HappyHater> rabiddachshund, run gksudo displayconfig-gtk to setuo the monitor/gfx
[23:36] <gyroscope> c03, usually ~/.mozilla/plugin
[23:36] <c03> gyroscope: how?
[23:36] <LinuxIST> how do i force kill?
[23:36] <c03> oh okay
[23:36] <CarlFK> bug #228548 - that worked, then a kernel update broke it.  anyone know how I can downgrade my kernel?  (I wiped/installed, so I can't boot into it anymore)
[23:36] <c03> gyroscope: I have an extensions folder =o

[23:41] <javagamer> How do you reload the interfaces file?
[23:42] <phantomcircuit> does ubuntu use PAM by default?
[23:42] <gyroscope> c03, and create a symbolic link to that file with ln -s
[23:42] <c03> gyroscope: can't find it =/
[23:43] <gyroscope> c03, you can be use find command for that
[23:43] <c03> gyroscope: dunno how to search in the whole system
[23:44] <c03> with find
[23:44] <rabiddachshund> It's not recognizing my graphics card
[23:44] <c03> gyroscope: found it =)
[23:44] <c03> gyroscope: There's 2 =O
[23:45] <HappyHater> rabiddachshund, what card?
[23:45] <gyroscope> c03, ok create a symbolic link
[23:45] <rabiddachshund> HappyHater: It's built into the mobo (I think it's an intel) but all lspci is telling me is that it's an nvidia (which I just took out/rebooted)
[23:45] <c03> but there's 2
[23:45] <c03> gyroscope: I got one in /jre/plugin/ns7
[23:45] <gyroscope> c03, to ~/.mozilla/plugins (not plugin)
[23:45] <c03> gyroscope: and one in /jre/plugin/ns7-gcc29
[23:45] <gyroscope> c03, yes right path
[23:45] <c03> which one?

[23:47] <jose> HappyHater my monitor is (ACER AL2016W) and I had available close to my monitor serie was (ACER AL2016WX) but ok works so far but I can't put any effect on the desktop because it ask me for a restart and then when I come back after restart I get low Resolution
[23:47] <c03> gyroscope: so the command would look like "ln -s libjavaplugin_oji.so /home/my_nick/.mozilla/plugins" ??
[23:47] <HappyHater> jose, is the restricted driver in use?
[23:47] <jose> how do I know

[23:48] <Gaming4JC> ejer?
[23:48] <HappyHater> system > admin > hardware drivers
[23:48] <c03> Gaming4JC: samba
[23:48] <gyroscope> c03, no you must give the full path for libjavaplugin_osi.so
[23:48] <Wolvenhaven> samba
[23:48] <jose> is in use
[23:48] <jose> but doesnt have the CHECK for enabled
[23:48] <c03> gyroscope: okay, but the order was correct?
[23:48] <Gaming4JC> any other programs besides Samba?
[23:48] <Krakatoa> g4jc, depends on what you want to do
[23:48] <HappyHater> check it, make sure it's enabled
[23:48] <Krakatoa> ftp, ssh, webservers...
[23:49] <gyroscope> c03, order is correct
[23:49] <Wolvenhaven> you could setup ssh
[23:49] <Gaming4JC> I want the XP machine to share the internet connection and some directorys from Ubuntu
[23:49] <jose> now is enabled
[23:49] <Wolvenhaven> you need to use samba then

[23:49] <jose> should I?
[23:49] <Gaming4JC> I saw a page on it, so I need to install Samba on the Ubuntu, and samba client on Windows? or...
[23:49] <kitche> akaaka: killall firefox-bin in a terminal
[23:49] <Wolvenhaven> yes
[23:49] <HappyHater> ok, restart, and if your resolution drops again, run gksudo displayconfig-gtk again and set the monitor up again
[23:50] <jose> ok
