[00:00] <P5|3> itachi: then create a shortcut on your desktop with the command: openarena
[00:00] <lwizardl> WDC: right click the torrent file on your computer and then select open with
[00:00] <trinaryShift> WDC: No problem. VLC will play just about anything you throw at it, and it's pretty light. Definitely my favorite video player.
[00:00] <P5|3> itachi: then just click it and the game should start
[00:00] <r4b> actually, i'vejust noticed that my linux partition is an extended one, comprising of the root and swap partition. Is it still safe to resize?
[00:00] <P5|3> I am trying to use a static IP address to eth0 which works, but I can not access my routers configuration page (times out) neither can I ping anything else in the network. If I do the same on my windows pc it works! What am I doing wrong?
[00:00] <lwizardl> WDC: sorry forgot something. right click the torrent file, select properties, then select open with
[00:01] <itachi> P5|3, so i'll go in terminal nd open terminal nd type what command again
[00:01] <WDC> lwizardl: Thanks!
[00:01] <WDC> trinaryShift: I used it on Windows and I loved it as well
[00:01] <lwizardl> WDC: with that you can change your default programs on opening anything.
[00:01] <gleyve> Frostwire? Limewire? ou aMule?
[00:01] <trinaryShift> r4b: I'd say back up all your data first regardless
[00:01] <__mikem> gleyve, noneof the above
[00:01] <Bjorn_> Can someone helpme PLEASE? When I start the live CD, and then go to the Try version.. It loads, but then if I want to install it, when clicking on 'Install' @ the desktop, it doesn't even load, then I tried to do the command in the terminal, and it gave the following error: http://rafb.net/p/xe6gul93.html So it doesn't even install..
[00:01] <trinaryShift> WDC: Yep, same here. Fantastic little program.
[00:01] <lwizardl> WDC: no problem i had that issue when I was starting to use ubuntu. I prefer to use azureus for my torrents
[00:01] <gleyve> what do u advice?
[00:02] <__mikem> gleyve, transmission
[00:02] <WDC> lwizardl: I'm not REALLY a Java fan. Not that it's bad, just I don't like it
[00:02] <r4b> well, there isnt really any important stuff yet, just wondering if it'd affect anything since it's an extended partiton
[00:02] <P5|3> itachi: 1st start ubuntu, 2nd push alt+F2, 3rd type openarena
[00:02] <P5|3> itachi: this should work
[00:02] <hari_> hello!  I appear to be having a problem with a single commercial DVD's playback.  I already have libdvdcss, and can play other dvd's.  Unfortunately, this one locks up my machine.  The disk is a retail version of 'Pursuit of Happyness"  Any ideas?
[00:02] <FFEMTcJ> is it possible to run compiz on a system with an nvidia card and two monitors
[00:02] <itachi> P5|3, ok be brb
[00:02] <lwizardl> WDC: yeah i'm not a huge fan of java either but it seems to work for me better on SBC isp
[00:03] <Dumbakchi> hari i have an idea... have you heard of a program called ogle
[00:03] <squiddy> hi all.. i'm having an issue with scrolling down page on firefox, it is not smotth/lag or something
[00:03] <Dumbakchi> its an old project, but i used it once for playing dvd's, and it was very good
[00:03] <WDC> lwizardl: hmmm. That's interesting. I am on ATT (with my connection it's technicly SBC)
[00:03] <trinaryShift> FFEMTcJ: I'm fairly certain that it is, you'd just have to make sure everything's configured nicely. I've got it to work flawlessly with no additional configuration, however.
[00:04] <lwizardl> WDC: yeah i've been having issues with the p2p blocking crap
[00:04] <r4b> forgive me if this is stupid, but i cant resize the partition ubuntu is currently running on, can I?
[00:04] <P5|3> r4b: no
[00:04] <squiddy> r4b, u can't, use live CD instead
[00:04] <r4b> though as much
[00:04] <FFEMTcJ> trinaryShift: ive been tryin for a couple days now... i cant use the propriatary drivers with two monitors, and cant get compiz working without the propriatary drivers
[00:04] <trinaryShift> gleyve: I'd recommend getting azureus from the repositories (as it's the older, smaller version...much more suited to my tastes) for torrenting files
[00:04] <gleyve> __mikem: u mean bit torrent transmission?
[00:04] <hari_> Dumbakchi, NO, I don't think I have.  I've tried to play the disk in Totem, and VLC.  Totem locks up the machine, and VLC just flickers, and stops.
[00:05] <Dumbakchi> ok... in a terminal type: sudo apt-get install ogle
[00:05] <r4b> i'm on a netbook so no cd drive. I have a liveusb though, i'll do it later. Thanks for the advice
[00:05] <Dumbakchi> followed by sudo apt-get install ogle-gui
[00:05] <trinaryShift> FFEMTcJ: Hmm. How did you install your drivers?
[00:05] <gmoore> looking to pick up a new videocard for my HTPC running ubuntu + XBMC linuxport. as far as support + performance + stability goes , should i look at nvidia or ati?
[00:06] <P5|3> gmoore: i like nvidia way better
[00:06] <FFEMTcJ> i installed them from system>admin>hardware drivers.. but then when i used nvidia-settings, did the dual monitors using xinerama it changed from the propriatary to some other ones
[00:06] <WDC> Thanks all. g2g. VLC FTW
[00:06] <lwizardl> gmoore: Nvidia has lots of support
[00:06] <lwizardl> in Linux
[00:06] <gmoore> so ati is probably a poor choice just from a support standpoint then
[00:07] <squiddy> gmoore, nvidia have better support for linux
[00:07] <Chris|> where's the helpers file?
[00:07] <majnoon> gmoore, nvidia
[00:07] <Zozma> gmoore: correct
[00:07] <squiddy> hi all.. i'm having an issue with scrolling down page on firefox, it is not smotth/lag or something ? need help to fix this
[00:07] <Dumbakchi> thats true... ati driver support isn't very good on linux
[00:07] <Chris|> or more rather, where or how can i add a app to the helpers list?
[00:07] <trinaryShift> FFEMTcJ: I used Envy to configure all my nvidia graphics stuff, and that's worked out pretty well for me. It might be worth a try (the package is called envy-ng now, I believe).
[00:07] <Zozma> some people have said ati's drivers have gotten a lot better in the last year or two, and they have
[00:07] <Zozma> but they still suck
[00:07] <hari_> Dumbakchi, I just opened the disk in AcidRip, and it says that there are 94 titles on the disk...  O.O
[00:07] <Dumbakchi> i see...
[00:07] <FFEMTcJ> trinaryShift: hardware drivers actually says that the propriatery are still in use.. however, when i go to appearance > visual effects and click normal, it says the composite extension is not available
[00:08] <FFEMTcJ> trinaryShift: ill try it
[00:08] <trinaryShift> squiddy: Have you installed the correct graphics drivers?
[00:08] <lwizardl> Has anyone here setup a point of sale cash register using Linux?
[00:08] <Dumbakchi> have you tried installing ogle? type this: sudo apt-get install ogle; sudo apt-get install ogle-gui
[00:08] <trinaryShift> FFEMTcJ: Yeah, envy is a python script that will automatically download the relevant drivers and configure your xorg.conf file.
[00:08] <Chris|> lwizardl, i'm sure its possible, Lowes uses linux
[00:08] <Dumbakchi> into a terminal
[00:09] <squiddy> trinaryShift, yes, i have (i think) through hardware drivers menu. i have 2 machines, 1 with nvidia, other with ati. both having the same issue
[00:09] <Chris|> lwizardl, i'm not exactly sure what Lowes uses linux for though
[00:09] <mcphail> hari_: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARccOS
[00:09] <Cocoabean> lwizardl http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=471289
[00:10] <FFEMTcJ> trinaryShift: there isn't an envy-ng.. there are a bunch of things that come back though with a search of envy
[00:10] <iMatter> I have an grub or kernal error i have alot of kernals but grub and startup manager only show 2 and these two are old  2.6.24-15-generic and 2.6.24-15-generic
[00:10] <hari_> Chris|, Lowes also has the money to build a POS system from scratch...  Unfortunately...
[00:10] <lwizardl> yeah i've read these but seems 99% of the Linux software for POS is for food or resturants
[00:10] <kitche> FFEMTcJ: envyng
[00:10] <trinaryShift> squiddy: Ok, I'm going to suggest that you use envy, simply because it's worked for me in the past. Give me a second to find the package name
[00:10] <trinaryShift> FFEMTcJ: Hmm, hold on a sec
[00:11] <kitche> !envy
[00:11] <hari_> lwizardl, Unfortunately, the company I work for just set one up for a woman, but we ended up using windows, cause the windows program had very large colorful buttons, which was important, because the woman is going blind.
[00:11] <trinaryShift> ah ok
[00:11] <squiddy> trinaryShift, i used envy once, still won't work i out.
[00:11] <trinaryShift> FFEMTcJ: Yeah, the name of the package is envyng. No hyphen :/
[00:12] <__mikem> gleyve, yes
[00:12] <trinaryShift> squiddy: What version of ubuntu and firefox are you using, by the way?
[00:13] <squiddy> trinaryShift, it's ubuntu 8.04.1 and FF 3.0.1
[00:13] <Dumbakchi> im back
[00:13] <legend2440> squiddy: in firefox address bar type about:config  then in Filter box type scroll   see if smooth scroll is set to true
[00:13] <Dumbakchi> hari_, any luck?
[00:13] <lwizardl> hari_: yeah I currently have 5 computers setup to test various pos applications (Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu, Windows 2k, Windows XP) and none I have found I truly like so far. the system will mainly be used by myself (i'll be 29 on the 29th of this month, and my vision is fine) :)
[00:13] <trinaryShift> squiddy: Also try turning off compiz or any desktop effects you might have on.
[00:13] <squiddy> legend2440, i'll try it
[00:14] <squiddy> trinaryShift, i got 4gb of ram, AMD X2 5000+ and nvidia 8600GT, so i think it's not about lack of resources
[00:15] <eligos> ok, I know this a stupid question but I just can't do it, can anyone tell me how to join a channel in xchat : #4chan@irc.rizon.net
[00:15] <trinaryShift> squiddy: Ha ha, alright. Good to know. (Almost exact same setup as me, by the way :D)
[00:15] <tonsofpcs> eligos: how did you get here?
[00:16] <lwizardl> hari_: so does that mean you know alot about register setups?
[00:16] <squiddy> trinaryShift, ya, that's what confused me :D
[00:16] <shingen> eligos: /server irc.rizon.net and then after it opens a new server window, /join #4chan, btard :P
[00:16] <FFEMTcJ> trinaryShift: i installed envy, and then used that to install the driver it had.. still get the "the composite extention is not available"
[00:16] <trinaryShift> squiddy: Hmm. I used to have the exact same problem, but I can't remember what I did to solve it...
[00:17] <squiddy> legend2440, is it general.smoothScroll?
[00:17] <Grandslammaster> can someone help me with php and mysql
[00:17] <Grandslammaster> or should i be in another room

[00:17] <iMatter> Problem Solved thanks for your help :)

[00:18] <trinaryShift> FFEMTcJ: Ok. I'm going to have to suggest trying the forums then + extensive google searching with compiz + your graphics card, etc.

[00:21] <hermes0710> hi from greece
[00:21] <netsui> mortuis99: You can use 'sudo nautilus' to open a nautilus window with root priviledges. That should let you copy the script into the necessary folder.
[00:21] <IdleOne> mib_76rvwtax, focus. is that folder on your Desktop?
[00:21] <liamkmc> hi
[00:21] <mortuis99> that is it in or that it goes in?

[00:21] <mib_76rvwtax> i did the cd code
[00:21] <Dumbakchi> mib_76rvwtax, what do you mean the command doesn't work? do you mean it doesn't display any output?
[00:22] <mib_76rvwtax> output
[00:22] <mib_76rvwtax> step 6 doesnt work
[00:22] <mortuis99> netsui that is it in or that it goes in?  and how do i change it?
[00:22] <Dumbakchi> mib_76rvwtax, if a command doesn't display output, it usually means it worked!
[00:22] <IdleOne> !doesnwork
[00:22] <IdleOne> !doesntwork

[00:23] <aLeSD> does pulseaudio have the same lowlatency of jack ?
[00:23] <unop> P5|3, could be any number of reasons - the ip address is incorrect for that network, the link is down, the interface is down, the router does not respond to pings, etc
[00:23] <hari_> lwizardl, What industry are you in?
[00:23] <netsui> mortuis99: That the script goes in. And what do you mean by 'how do you change it?'?
[00:23] <mib_76rvwtax> no targets specified and no makefiles
[00:23] <mib_76rvwtax> cmon
[00:23] <mortuis99> how do i change the permissions there?
[00:23] <mortuis99> im sorta new so...
[00:23] <hari_> !arccos
[00:24] <trinaryShift> mib_76rvwtax: are you in the directory with the make file?
[00:24] <Kumorigoe> ! network
[00:24] <Kumorigoe> ...
[00:24] <netsui> mortuis99: I usually changer permissions in the terminal. But, I'm pretty sure that you can just right click and bring up a folder properties window.
[00:24] <izaak> t
[00:24] <mortuis99> im properties wont let me do it
[00:25] <mortuis99> i have tried that
[00:25] <mortuis99> cd root

[00:41] <ASrock> my motherboard has built in wireless and i also have an ethernet cord plugged into it...is there a way i can be connected to both of them at the same time just in case one fails?
[00:41] <liamkmc> tolis, yeah??
[00:42] <tolis> yea
[00:42] <tolis> but i dint know hoe to do it
[00:42] <liamkmc> tolis, good
[00:42] <liamkmc> tolis, oh sorry
[00:42] <Trinithis> ganymede: I do not have those
[00:42] <ganymede> Trinithis: grep around /var/log for sda since /dev/sda is the name given to your first sata drive
[00:42] <KOJV> Smor1, install the propertary driver from System / Hardware drivers.
[00:42] <tolis> why you sorry liamkmc?
[00:43] <KOJV> How to update Firefox to the latest, SWEDISH version?
[00:43] <KOJV> I downloaded it and unpacked it, but I don't know what to do with it next.
[00:43] <ganymede> Trinithis: if you don't have an sata module loaded, then your sata controller was not recognized. are you using a recent kernel?
[00:43] <KOJV> ./update won't do.
[00:43] <DreamLnr> hello
[00:44] <liamkmc> tolis, sounded horrible tolis but i dint know hoe to do it liamkmc: tolis, good
[00:44] <ganymede> Trinithis: lspci will tell you what sata controller you have; might point you in the right direction. i have to go. bye and good luck
[00:44] <Gman99999> can i un-install glx and just use the nvidia driver?
[00:44] <Gman99999> Does anyone know?
[00:44] <Trinithis> ganymede: k thx
[00:44] <Flare183> !anyone | Gman99999
[00:44] <dr_Willis> Gman99999,  you could just edit the xorg.conf to  use the nv driver. no need to 'uninstall' the other.
[00:44] <Gnea> !firefox3 | KOJV
[00:44] <dr_Willis> Gman99999,  you proberly should edit it to use the nv driver. befor trying to remove the other in any case.
[00:45] <tolis> liamkmc do you know how can i use the ntfs?
[00:45] <Gman99999> dr_willis so i change the glx to "nv"
[00:45] <liamkmc> tolis, just incase http://czarism.com/easy-peasy-mount-ntfs-w-ubuntu-linux
[00:45] <KOJV> Gnea, but I want it in Swedish.
[00:45] <DreamLnr> i have chowned my www dir to my user user1. If i add the user www-data via the group file, will the files be accessible?
[00:45] <unop> KOJV, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxNewVersion
[00:45] <leeping2008> Hi there, anyone here know how I can toggle HTML on and off in Thunderbird?  There is an extension that I downloaded but it does not work.
[00:45] <Flare183> !ntfs | tolis
[00:45] <Gnea> !swedish | KOJV
[00:45] <WDC> Hey how do I start Deskbar?
[00:45] <tolis> let me check liamkmc
[00:45] <Gman99999> dr_willis Im having trouble getting compiz to load in kde, it just won't work properly for some reason
[00:45] <dr_Willis> Gman99999,  No.. you change the   Driver 'nvidia' line. to be  Driver 'nv' I recall.
[00:45] <DreamLnr> i have chowned my www dir to my user user1. If i add the user www-data via the group file to the group of user user1, will the files be accessible?
[00:45] <Smor1> KOJV: What' s the propertary driver?
[00:45] <dr_Willis> Gman99999,  well the nv driver wont allow compiz  either..
[00:45] <unop> DreamLnr, you shouldn't edit the group file directly -- inface, NEVER do that.  use the appropriate tools to do it for you.
[00:45] <Flare183> Gman99999: try running it in konsole and pastebin what you get
[00:46] <kitche> DreamLnr: you just really add to add the users to the www-data group
[00:46] <KOJV> Smor1, the Nvidia one.
[00:46] <KOJV> Smor1, makes your graphics work.
[00:46] <unop> DreamLnr, just ensure that the group on /var/www is www-data after adding your user to the www-data group.
[00:46] <liamkmc> how do i customize
[00:46] <KOJV> Gnea, they can't help, they've all gone to bed.
[00:46] <liamkmc> conky
[00:46] <WDC> Hey how do I start Deskbar?
[00:46] <mcphail> DreamLnr: not a good idea to add www-data to your own group
[00:46] <Smor1> KOJV: It just says no proprietary drivers are on your system...
[00:46] <Gman99999> dr_willis what about the loading module only glx is shown
[00:46] <dr_Willis> liamkmc,  you make/edit/customize your own .conkyrc config file.  the conky homepage has docs/examples
[00:47] <MXIIA> Is it possible to type the ALT + ### like in Windows?
[00:47] <DreamLnr> i want the www folder to be inaccessible by other users
[00:47] <DreamLnr> except www-data and my user
[00:47] <KOJV> Smor1, okay and it doesn't offer one to be enabled?
[00:47] <trojatra> MXIIA, Alt+###?
[00:47] <unop> DreamLnr, just add those users to the www-data group.
[00:47] <dr_Willis> Gman99999,  glx module wont do much if you are not using the 'nvidia' driver. and i thought the nvidia driver replaced the glx module. You may be  looking in the wrong places for the answer to your real problems
[00:47] <Smor1> no just says Help / Close
[00:47] <Klick__> Hey all, I was using ipw2200 and my wireless device has always been seen, I just recently applied the latest upgrade via synaptic and now the device is not found.  I am running Linux x41 2.6.24-21-generic and when I try to manualy modprobe ipw2200 I get a bunch of unknown symbols in dmesg, any help?
[00:47] <liamkmc> dr_Willis, thanks
[00:47] <KOJV> How to update Firefox to the latest, SWEDISH version? I downloaded it and unpacked it, but I don't know what to do with it next. ./update won't do.

[00:47] <mcphail> DreamLnr: then change permissions appropriately and make yourself a member of the www-data group
[00:47] <MXIIA> like Ü
[00:47] <KOJV> Smor1, okay get an AGP or PCI-E Nvidia card...
[00:48] <trojatra> MXIIA, I don't know, try it out?

[00:48] <WDC> !deskbar
[00:48] <DreamLnr> what does the second mean?
[00:48] <KOJV> unop, that's a very complicated guide. :-o
[00:48] <AzizLight> what's the difference between the emacs and the emacs22 packages in hardy please?
[00:48] <WDC> How do I start Deskbar? I know it's installed.
[00:48] <Pici> KOJV: install the mozilla-firefox-locale-sv-se package
[00:48] <Smor1> Is there a way to halt X from botting up at start and go to terminal?
[00:48] <unop> KOJV, it has all the information you need.
[00:48] <KOJV> Pici, where's that at?
[00:48] <Gman99999> dr_willis I would like the nvidia driver to load again, that would be cool, I'm looking in the xorg.conf and i don't see what your describing at all, very difference things, the module load section is where it says glx, there is no driver section anyway, only input devices
[00:48] <KOJV> Pici, apt-get?
[00:49] <Pici> KOJV: Providing that you are running Hardy, that is.
[00:49] <Pici> KOJV: yep
[00:49] <MXIIA> thanks unop
[00:49] <dr_Willis> Gman99999,  searching for the line  Driver
[00:49] <gradin> whats the smallest gui desktop suite to install forubuntu
[00:49] <Pici> KOJV: Then go to Tools>Addons>Languages in Firefox and enable it.
[00:49] <gradin> ?
[00:49] <unop> !info emacs22 | AzizLight
[00:50] <KOJV> Thanks unop.
[00:50] <KOJV> Thank you very much, Pici!
[00:50] <dr_Willis> Gman99999,  try  ' grep Driver /etc/X11/xorg.conf ' it should show several lines with the Driver option in them..
[00:50] <DreamLnr> will somebody explain me please?
[00:50] <dr_Willis> Gman99999,  my working xorg.conf (tweaked slightly) --> http://pastebin.com/f1e7658a6
[00:50] <node357> how do I make a tar file and add .ttf files into it?
[00:51] <WDC> Will ANYONE tell me how to start Deskbar? I know it's installed
[00:51] <KOJV> DreamLnr, you seem hard to explain, given I only know you by a nick on the IRC...
[00:51] <unop> AzizLight, emacs is the metapackage which pulls in one of the actual emacs packages, i.e. emacs22, emacs-nox, xemacs, etc
[00:51] <Pici> WDC: its a panel applet, do you know how to add applets to a panel.
[00:51] <gradin> anybody know what takes the least amount of disk space on ubuntu? kde, xubuntu... or any others?
[00:51] <Gman99999> dr_willis ok there's like 7 options, for my video cards they both have the nvidia driver loaded, but if i go to load the nvidia driver settings in the system settings it gives me a message saying You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver.
[00:51] <loafimus> does anyone know of a good front end for SCP/FTP similar to winscp?
[00:51] <DreamLnr> KOJV, i gave a question and i tried not to repeat it, but, my fear, that you would miss my question, came true:)
[00:51] <DreamLnr> again:
[00:51] <WDC> Pici: No I do not. Thanks for replying

[00:52] <DreamLnr> the first 'root' is an owner
[00:52] <FicaBlok38> hello
[00:52] <DreamLnr> what does the second 'root'  mean?
[00:52] <Pici> DreamLnr: The second is the group.
[00:52] <IdleOne> dreamedge, user group
[00:52] <unop> DreamLnr, the second one is the group
[00:52] <DreamLnr> aah
[00:52] <DreamLnr> thanks
[00:52] <DreamLnr> :)
[00:52] <FloodBot1> DreamLnr: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[00:52] <FicaBlok38> where i can download kvirc 3.4.0
[00:52] <trojatra> gradin, I'm almost positive Xubuntu for desktop, but server edition is even lighter.
[00:52] <FicaBlok38> amd 64?
[00:52] <unop> !enter | DreamLnr
[00:52] <Pici> WDC: Right click on a panel, go to add to panel and select deskbar
[00:52] <KOJV> Pici, that didn't make Firefox in Swedish though.....
[00:53] <WDC> Pici: Fancy fancy. THANKS!
[00:53] <Pici> KOJV: It should... did you change your language options within Firefox as well?
[00:53] <DreamLnr> question 3: what is the name of tool to manage my groups (add, remove users, etc)?
[00:53] <KOJV> Pici, there is nowhere to do that. There's a language setting at the Contents tab, but that doesn't seem to apply.
[00:53] <unop> DreamLnr, for a GUI, users-admin perhaps
[00:53] <Klick__> will installing the source code for my wifi driver mess up synaptic with security upgrades?
[00:53] <Pici> KOJV: What version of firefox are you running? And what version of Ubuntu?
[00:53] <DreamLnr> and for command line?
[00:54] <gradin> mmm... i need something for my girlfriend Eee PC
[00:54] <gradin> so less than 2GB total
[00:54] <AzizLight> unop: that probably means that I should install emacs22 if I want to use the editor right? :S
[00:54] <FicaBlok38> anybody?
[00:54] <KOJV> Pici, Ubuntu Hardy Heron with all the updates, FF3...

[00:54] <gradin> ah xubuntu 1.7 gb
[00:54] <gradin> :)
[00:55] <Pici> KOJV: Is there a languages section in Tools>Addons?
[00:55] <mcphail> DreamLnr: use adduser rather than useradd, generally
[00:55] <arquebus> also there is #eeepc freenode channel
[00:55] <KOJV> Pici, yes but English is available only.
[00:55] <Pici> KOJV: Have you restarted firefox since installing that package that I suggested?
[00:56] <KOJV> Pici, yes.
[00:56] <trojatra> What is the base install size of Ubuntu 8.04?
[00:56] <Klick__> If anyone has the binary to ipw2200 would you mind emailing to me?

[00:56] <KOJV> Pici, rebooting the system.....
[00:57] <KOJV> trojatra, you need like a twenty gigabyte drive.

[01:08] <KOJV> Pici, that's okay, thanks for trying!
[01:08] <Smor1> unop: xserver-org is not installed ?
[01:08] <Smor1> thats what I get
[01:08] <qr> discombobulated: you need to add them to /etc/fstab
[01:08] <dewdrop> Can't find Display settings for Resolution in KDE. . Im use to Gnome. Can anyone help me?
[01:08] <tolis> unop: can i make another mount anythink i want?
[01:09] <unop> Smor1, that would be xserver-xorg
[01:09] <Smor1> ok
[01:09] <unop> tolis, yes
[01:09] <Raspberry> this new desktop theme is rough... brown on burnt umber
[01:09] <discombobulated> qr, i tried, no luck. my fstab is all messed up
[01:09] <eltux> I installed the g15daemon for my keyboard but it doesn't automatically start with the session. is there a way that i can make it so it does?
[01:09] <Smor1> xserver-xorg postinst warning: overwriting possibly-customised configuration

[01:10] <unop> Smor1, no, just restart X should be enough
[01:10] <qr> discombobulated: well then you need to fix it... /etc/fstab is the thing that controlls what drives are mounted on boot.
[01:10] <Kumool> ctrl+alt+backspace Smor1
[01:10] <highland_> Please help! I have problem with damaged partition. Testdisk see deleted files, but how could I save them e.g. on pendrive?
[01:10] <Smor1> and then start x to restart it?
[01:10] <fam> unop:  the link, does not explain runlevels and even the wiki page on runlevel in ubuntu does not explain, when network is setted up while booting...
[01:10] <hwilde_> is there a firefox xpi plugin yet?  want to see this page:  http://www.bassdrive.com/cam/
[01:11] <Kumool> Smor1, it should simply restart... you cant tell it not to
[01:11] <tolis> unop: what kind of mount can i create?
[01:11] <Kumool> because without it there is no X and you wont see anything
[01:11] <unop> fam, init starts networking as one of it's first tasks .. so if you call your script from /etc/rc.local .. it should be fine.
[01:11] <hwilde_> I need this xpi to work http://www.bassdrive.com/v2/lib/ext/cam/help_netscape.php
[01:11] <fam> unop thx
[01:12] <eltux> I can't get my partitions to mount right away. I have to manually select them to get them to mount. is there any way that they can automatically mount on startup?
[01:12] <unop> tolis, errm, just a simple mount point .. like a directory
[01:12] <mcphail> highland_: testdisk doesn't find deleted files. The companion program "photorec" does that

[01:15] <ghindo> d4t4min3r: Frostwire has a .deb on their site which you can download
[01:15] <d4t4min3r> after downloading i just
[01:15] <d4t4min3r> whats the command to instal... ghindo
[01:16] <Hamled> is there a shell app/script to setup my apt sources (other than just editing sources.list) ?

[01:17] <jscinoz> ghindo,  i meant
[01:17] <jscinoz> damn tab completioin :P
[01:17] <FloodBot1> jscinoz: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[01:18] <Theaxiom> For people who want Facebook and Skype integrated with Pidgin: http://code.google.com/p/pidgin-facebookchat/ and http://code.google.com/p/skype4pidgin/
[01:18] <Theaxiom> Just found those, thought they might be useful to someone.
[01:18] <ghindo> jscinoz: Hrm.  Have you installed any new software lately?  Experimental drivers or something?  When did your system start doing this?
[01:18] <unop> Hamled, maybe this helps.  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/CommandLine
[01:18] <hwilde_> Theaxiom, why don't u post it to the wiki so ppl can search
[01:18] <Theaxiom> hwilde_: How do I do that?
[01:19] <tolis> unop: where the mount directory or file should be is in linux or xp?
[01:19] <hwilde_> !wiki | Theaxiom
[01:19] <AzizLight> I want to customize ubuntu, what should I download from gnome-look gtk2 metacity, compiz? I don't know what is what :S
[01:19] <jscinoz> ghindo, yesterday, no  new drivers (nvidia 173.something i think)
[01:19] <unop> tolis, if you are booted into linux .. linux obviously
[01:19] <hwilde_> Theaxiom, just login its free, then create a new page like wiki.ubuntu.com/Facebook+Skype+Pidgin+HOWTO
[01:19] <Theaxiom> hwilde_: Thanks, I will do that. They even have it specifically compiled for ubuntu
[01:20] <jscinoz> Theaxiom, the skype one, does it stil lrequire the official skype client to be open somewhere?
[01:20] <jscinoz> Theaxiom, oh wait it does,, kind of defeats the purpose :(
[01:20] <Theaxiom> jscinoz: Oh I didn't realize that, wtf?
[01:21] <jscinoz> Theaxiom, this is why closed protocols fail
[01:21] <jscinoz> no one can make a native skype plugin that doesnt need the official skype proggy open somewhere
[01:21] <Smor1> unop: Did what you said and when i did ctrl-alt-backspace to get back in i nevber got the low graphics mode message
[01:21] <Theaxiom> jscinoz: Nobody has reversed the protocol yet?
[01:21] <ghindo> jscinoz: Hrm, not sure what to say.  I'm glancing at Launchpad but I don't see any bug reports which pertain to your problem.  Sorry :(
[01:21] <Smor1> unop: but I can still only run at 800x600
[01:21] <KOJV> Pici, in case you're interested, I went to Language Support on System / Admin. It told me all Swedish packages weren't installed and asked me if I wanted to... and there we go. :-)
[01:22] <ghindo> Can someone help me use my AIM account in Empathy?
[01:22] <jscinoz> ghindo, thanks anyways, i was planning to do a ful lreinstall of this machine in a few days anyways, so it doesnt really matter
[01:22] <discombobulated> can someone tell me wtf my fstab is changing every time on reboot when i edit it?
[01:22] <jscinoz> Theaxiom, not that i know of
[01:22] <unop> Smor1, what modes does your setup support. use a terminal and issue this command.  xrandr
[01:22] <Pici> KOJV: Ah, thats good. /me notes
[01:22] <unop> discombobulated, did you save your edits?
[01:22] <Bjorn_> How can I change my resolution trough Terminal?
[01:22] <tj1515> can anyone suggest a good monitor calibration program i cannot seem to get the resolution and refresh rate i need
[01:22] <discombobulated> unop: yes
[01:22] <unop> Bjorn_, xrandr
[01:23] <unop> discombobulated, just how does it change?
[01:23] <Smor1> unop: min 640x480 maximum 800x600
[01:23] <Bjorn_> unop, then the following shows up; 'Can't open Display'
[01:23] <discombobulated> unop: idk, i'm on a kubuntu alpha but i can't get answered anywhere else
[01:23] <unop> Smor1, lspci | grep -i vga
[01:23] <tolis> unop: sorry but i can tcreat a mount tell me an exmple pls..:)

[01:24] <Mirin> I've got a laptop with only 128mb ram and I'd like to ditch windows. Will ubuntu work for me? If so, where can I find more info on installing on old laptops like mine?
[01:24] <discombobulated> also, i'm using konversation. any way to turn off all the annoying status messages, eg, leaving, way, etc
[01:24] <unop> !nvidia > Smor1
[01:24] <unop> Bjorn_, are you logged on in X at all?
[01:24] <tj1515> Miran: may want to try xbuntu
[01:24] <nottha_k> how do I invoke firefox's profile manager? the new ubuntu seems to have broken it. i used to just use -ProfileManager
[01:25] <Bjorn_> How do youmean on X ?
[01:25] <unop> discombobulated, i'm not sure what that means.
[01:25] <unop> Bjorn_, the GUI environment

[01:25] <Smor1> !nvidia ? Smor1

[01:26] <Alistair_> Help: trying to find drivers Gigabyte GeForce 7100 GS linux drivers
[01:26] <Mirin> is investigating xubuntu...
[01:26] <Smor1> unop: I accidentaly closed it can you do again?
[01:26] <KOJV> How to make the keyring holder remember it's password? So that the wlan password must not be given (nor the keyring holder password) at bootup?
[01:26] <Bjorn_> Dunno, just new on ubuntu.. And changed my resolution and now the screen flashes, so I did CTRL+ALT+F4 and now I am in the terminal to change my resolution but don't knoww howto, unop
[01:26] <unop> Smor1, check your PMs
[01:26] <Smor1> I closed the pm window
[01:26] <Smor1> accident
[01:26] <cwill747> !nvidia | Smor1
[01:26] <unop> Bjorn_, get back to your X session.  ctrl+alt+f7 .. open up a terminal and use xrandr there
[01:27] <tj1515> Miran: It runs better on pcs with less ram uses xfce
[01:27] <Bjorn_> aight
[01:27] <Smor1> unop: What is this meant to do?
[01:28] <discombobulated> fuck, i've probably spend $150 worth of time googling. i could get windows by now
[01:28] <cwill747> !language | discombobulated
[01:28] <tolis> unop: i type: sudo mount /sda1/media/mount_point and terminal says: mount: can't find /sda1/video/mount_point in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
[01:28] <unop> Smor1, take you here if you followed the instructions - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia
[01:29] <trojatra> discombobulated, what are you searching for?
[01:29] <Smor1> ok thanks ill look into it
[01:29] <Smor1> whats the difference bwteen nvdia-glx-new and the restricted drivers?
[01:29] <unop> tolis, you probably want this.  sudo mount /dev/sda1  /media/mount_point
[01:30] <unop> tolis, but only you know which partition you want to mount there .. make sure you use the right device.
[01:30] <discombobulated> trojatra: can't get my stupid kubuntu to mount. it reverts my fstab changes upon reboot
[01:30] <dxdemetriou> when I use sudo in terminal, after writting my password it press another null enter. when I use gksudo, whatever is selected on the desktop it opens. anybody knows something about?
[01:30] <discombobulated> trojatra: edit, kubuntu system partition mounts, but not the others
[01:30] <unop> discombobulated, you don't happen to be in a live CD session do you?
[01:30] <discombobulated> unop: no, no cd is in the drive
[01:31] <Expl0ited> damn compiz always causes buku problems with everything.
[01:31] <unop> discombobulated, no errors while saving the file?
[01:31] <unop> discombobulated, maybe you should use a command line editor like nano to check
[01:31] <discombobulated> unop: none at all
[01:31] <Mirin> xubuntu seems to be good enough for my uses... actually, it's probably overkill still...
[01:31] <discombobulated> unop: ok, will try
[01:31] <Mirin> Thanks for the link
[01:32] <firefly2442> Can someone help me with wireless, I'm using rt2500usb module but cannot get an IP address
[01:32] <discombobulated> unop: worked just fine
[01:32] <tj1515> Miran: If that doesn't work out u could try puppy linux
[01:33] <Grenyaris> So, as much as I hate to admit it, I need help...
[01:33] <Grenyaris> I have a raid 5 setup with 3 disks, all the same make/model of disk
[01:33] <Mirin> Just out of curiosity, why aren't there links to the derivitave versions (xbuntu, edubuntu, etc...) from the main ubuntu site. I seem to recall that they used to do that...
[01:33] <Smor1> unop: When I go to the Hardware drivers menu it just says no restricted drivers and gives me no options to install one
[01:33] <AzizLight> I want to theme ubuntu, can somebody please explain me what is the difference between gtk2 metacity compiz gdm themes colour schemes etc.?
[01:33] <Grenyaris> I have /dev/md0 mounted to /mnt/raid
[01:33] <psyrixx> what what in the butt
[01:33] <discombobulated> my fstab has # /dev/sda3 commented and it's my root partition yet /dev/sda3 is really one of my windows partitions. wtf?
[01:33] <SNuxoll> AzizLight: GTK themes are your widget themes (buttons, etc)
[01:34] <Grenyaris> In gparted it has a warning about a bad superblock
[01:34] <SNuxoll> AzizLight: Metacity themes are your window decorations, GDM themes are login screen themes
[01:34] <Grenyaris> I run e2fsck and it finds all kinds of errors, fixes them, and the error won't go away
[01:34] <discombobulated> does anyone know wtf is going on with fstab? it's ridiculous
[01:35] <Grenyaris> I try the -b switch with no effect, just an error on the disk...
[01:35] <dxdemetriou> I don't know how to explain it.. I use: "sudo <command>", it shows the "#", it pressed an enter itself and I see another "#" on bottom
[01:35] <unop> discombobulated, puzzling. just how does the file change?
[01:35] <AdrianStrays> If I extact an ISO to a partition, and boot from that partition, will it act in the same fashion it would as if it were burned to a disk?
[01:35] <unop> dxdemetriou, meaning. it's waiting for you to enter a password probably.
[01:36] <Grenyaris> The interesting part is, with ext2 or ext3 formatting, I can read and write to the disk without problem...
[01:36] <Jordan_U> discombobulated: The fstab uses UUID's rather that /dev/[hd,sd]x now, that comment is probably from a previous release that was changed when you upgraded
[01:36] <Grenyaris> any ideas on how to clear the error?
[01:36] <discombobulated> unop: i don't know, it does it when it boots up
[01:36] <unop> Smor1, try using the envyng app to install the drivers perhaps.
[01:36] <unop> !envyng > Smor1
[01:36] <DesertPenquin> ?
[01:37] <discombobulated> there is no app at all that does what k/ubuntu does when you install it, such as see all drives and configure them automatically?
[01:37] <mizz_thickness> hey room
[01:37] <AzizLight> SNuxoll: ok thanks a lot
[01:37] <AdrianStrays> ﻿If I extact an ISO to a partition, and boot from that partition, will it act in the same fashion it would as if it were burned to a disk?
[01:37] <unop> discombobulated, sorry. i meant .. what changes are reverted, what doesn't stick?
[01:37] <mizz_thickness> ne black males in here?
[01:37] <unop> !ot | mizz_thickness
[01:37] <gradin> AdrianStrays: ... no
[01:38] <AdrianStrays> gradin: Why not?
[01:38] <cwill747> AdrianStrays: are you trying to install ubuntu without a disk?
[01:38] <gradin> AdrianStrays: cdfs and ntfs / ext3 boot diferances
[01:38] <discombobulated> unop: the root partition reverts back to "
[01:38] <AdrianStrays> No
[01:38] <discombobulated> # /dev/sda3

[01:38] <gradin> AdrianStrays: what are you trying to boot too?
[01:38] <discombobulated> sorry, didn't meant to past that much, was going to delete
[01:38] <tolis> unop: the file or directory must be in the filesystem on linux right?
[01:38] <unop> discombobulated, and what did you want it to stick at?
[01:39] <dxdemetriou> oh perfect.., I think is because of the fingerprint. if I swipe my finger it shows only one #. if I write the password it shows two #
[01:39] <unop> tolis, yes .. but if your windows partitions are detected by linux .. they can be mounted too
[01:39] <discombobulated> unop: i just wanted to delete that line because /dev/sda3 is my windows partition, not root partition like it's saying
[01:39] <AdrianStrays> gradin:  I'm attempting to boot something for my windows partition
[01:39] <itachi> i cannot install flash player..
[01:39] <unop> discombobulated, let's see the output of.  sudo fdisk -l
[01:39] <mizz_thickness> wat is this room

[01:40] <mizz_thickness> wat kinda chat is this
[01:40] <AdrianStrays> gradin: can I do this?
[01:40] <BeAvEr> :) re
[01:40] <gradin> AdrianStrays: boot something for your windows partiton?
[01:40] <unop> mizz_thickness, this is the ubuntu support channel .. not a chat room
[01:40] <AdrianStrays> gradin: Yes, its a recovery program
[01:40] <gradin> AdrianStrays: if your trying to boot to whatever is on the cd you are going to have to burn the iso
[01:40] <itachi> cwill747, so what do i do
[01:41] <tolis> unop: why when i mkdir all of dir in busy?.....
[01:41] <tolis> \
[01:41] <AdrianStrays> gradin: I can't get any CD-Rs till Monday.  I rather find a way to do it now
[01:41] <tolis> is*
[01:41] <gradin> AdrianStrays: if your trying to install something from the cd in windows you want a virtual cdrom drive
[01:41] <unop> tolis, not sure ..

[01:41] <discombobulated> unop: http://pastebin.com/d2634367b
[01:41] <AdrianStrays> gradin: I can't get into windows, its corrupted.
[01:42] <AdrianStrays> gradin: This is a recovery program, I need to boot FROM it.
[01:42] <gradin> then yeah your going to have to wait till you get iso's then
[01:42] <tolis> unop: what i can do now?
[01:42] <gradin> or rather cdrs
[01:42] <unop> discombobulated, sheesh .. on which partition(s) is ubuntu installed here?
[01:42] <AdrianStrays> gradin: why
[01:42] <discombobulated> unop: i have 4 disks and many partitions. a mess, i know

[01:43] <itachi> cwill747, how do i install Multiverse
[01:43]  * jscinoz sighs
[01:43] <jscinoz> nvidia driver was causing it
[01:43] <jscinoz> unsurprisingly.
[01:43] <gradin> cdfs has a  boot sector that is different from ntfs or ext3's boot flag that marks the partition as bootable
[01:43] <gradin> AdrianStrays:
[01:43] <ashiswin> How do I partition my harddisk more than it is allowed?

[01:44] <cwill747> !multiverse | itachi
[01:44] <jscinoz> itachi, i wasnt asking about flash...
[01:44] <uyuyuyuuy> :) no lasg
[01:44] <discombobulated> unop: should i just reinstall and let kubuntu auto-configure it all?
[01:45] <ashiswin> How do I move my page file?
[01:45] <unop> discombobulated,  before you do. let's see the output of this.   which parted || sudo aptitude install parted; sudo parted -l
[01:46] <uyuyuyuuy> here to get new tips and trick ask pls me listen

[01:48] <Use1> hi
[01:48] <Doctor_Nick> Hi, does anyone have any advice on a Draft-N pci adapter?
[01:48] <mcphail> pccc: you haven't made the hardlink properly or you aren't using emacs properly
[01:48] <Use1> damn there are so many people
[01:48] <Use1> wow
[01:48] <Doctor_Nick> that works with ubuntu out of the box?
[01:48] <Use1> okay
[01:48] <unop> discombobulated, hmm, very strange .. not sure what is going on here .. if i were you, i would install linux on a non-GPT disk (i.e. one of the others)
[01:49] <Amerikan> I can't figure out how to compile C++ programs with G++  :(

[01:49] <pccc> mcphail: echo "test" > file0 ; ln file0 hard_ln ; ln -s file0 soft_ln
[01:49] <Amerikan> It shows a bunch of odd characters
[01:49] <Doctor_Nick> odd characters?
[01:49] <pccc> mcphail: then i use emacs to edit file0 & ctrl-x-s to save
[01:49] <Eleaf> I have an acer aspire 5520 laptop, and I'm trying to get wireless working (either madwifi or ndiswrapper), but I don't have an ath0 device.  Am I supposed to manually add the ath0 device?
[01:49] <Sorlag> hi folks.. how do i execute programs without terminal?
[01:50] <Amerikan> Is there something different between windows and linux C++ syntax?
[01:50] <Eleaf> Sorlag: type alt + f2 and type the command
[01:50] <discombobulated> unop: /dev/sda3: x86 boot sector
[01:50] <Sorlag> Eleaf, thanks
[01:50] <Eleaf> Amerikan: c++ is c++, the windows or linux code might use different external libraries and such though.
[01:51] <unop> discombobulated, that's it?
[01:51] <Amerikan> Then I don't know what's wrong with what i'm trying. grr
[01:51] <uyuyuyuuy> cool alt-f2 :)
[01:51] <discombobulated> unop: yes, sudo file -s /dev/sda3 returned that
[01:51] <tolis> oo not again....:) resource busy again...:(
[01:52] <Amerikan> Eleaf, are you still able to use the namespace std in linux?
[01:52] <unop> discombobulated, i'm out of ideas
[01:53] <discombobulated> unop: sudo file -s /dev/sdd3 returns "Linux rev 1.0 ext3 filesystem data (needs journal recovery) (large files)'
[01:53] <Eleaf> Amerikan: not sure, I'm not much into c++ myself

[02:11] <itachi> Pici: cuz i need flash player on my ubuntu
[02:11] <Amerikan> What are some basic things to do to pimp out ubuntu?
[02:11] <mcphail> itachi: itachi why not download the ubuntu dvd? Far more software on that than the cd
[02:12] <qr> Amerikan: that really depends on what you mean by pimp out
[02:12] <Strife89> Amerikan: Look for themes. :)
[02:12] <Amerikan> gr: when I install windows, I automatically set all my prefrences the way I like, and download a selected amount of software I want, I want to know what ubuntu users do
[02:12] <Strife89> !MIDI
[02:12] <carandraug> Amerikan: look on ccsm for 3d effects, gnome-look for themes and ubuntuTweak for extras
[02:12] <itachi> mcphail: what r u talking... u think i should fdownload ubuntu dvd?
[02:13] <[SATAS]> any one know where to get mootools help
[02:13] <mcphail> itachi: it would give you a lot of software to install without having to download from the web...
[02:13] <timboy> uyuyuyuuy, did that and it is enabled any other ideas?
[02:14] <itachi> mcphail: where can i download it
[02:14] <timboy> I am helping a fried get their video setting working nvidia 7900 card just can't get the drivers working... we're running hardy heron and tried downloading the drivers and installing them manually but no go in the driver manager it says it's set up...
[02:14] <mcphail> itachi: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/hardy/release/
[02:14] <itachi> mcphail: btw any gud games for ubuntt?
[02:15] <mcphail> itachi: actually, http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/8.04.1/release/
[02:15] <timboy> itachi, open arena
[02:15] <Amerikan> Strife89: I found a theme, how do I install it?
[02:15] <badger_> tetuhi
[02:16] <itachi> mcphail: i have it dont like it that much... that aplication/software is 3.7g!!!
[02:16] <dexter> root@roshan-desktop:~# grep Codec /proc/asound/card0/codec#*
[02:16] <dexter> Codec: SigmaTel STAC9221 A1
[02:16] <dexter>     does this mean that i have this driver nd its working
[02:16] <mcphail> itachi: most of the better games are Quake clones which require network play. Not much use if you don't have a connection
[02:16] <Strife89> Amerikan: It should be a .tar or a .bz2. On the menu, click on System/Preferences/Appearence.
[02:16] <itachi> mcphail: ok
[02:16] <carandraug> itachi: if you like classics, try Maelstrom, metalblob solid and frozen bubble
[02:16] <Amerikan> Okay, I just shouldn't have extracted it. Thanks Strife89
[02:17] <WDC> Hey hey! I am trying to get my Sony Vaio built-in microphone. Is there a way to configure it?
[02:17] <itachi> mcphail: should i download that big program
[02:17] <itachi> mcphail: dvdubuntu
[02:17] <itachi> mcphail: is like 3.7g
[02:17] <mcphail> itachi: it will give you a lot of software to play with. Depends on whether you view 3.7gig as a large d/l
[02:18] <dexter>     does this mean that i have this driver nd its working
[02:18] <dexter> root@roshan-desktop:~# grep Codec /proc/asound/card0/codec#*
[02:18] <dexter> Codec: SigmaTel STAC9221 A1
[02:18] <Unt182> THERE IS SOME ITALIAN HERE?
[02:18] <mcphail> itachi: you originally asked about where to get software...
[02:18] <WDC> Anyone help me with my microphone?
[02:18] <carandraug> !it | Unt182
[02:18] <itachi> mcphail: well i only got a flash driver that is 2g.. so where will i put it
[02:18] <WDC> Unt182: #ubuntu-it
[02:19] <Unt182> thanks wdc
[02:19] <WDC> np
[02:19] <mcphail> itachi: it is a dvd image. You need to burn it to dvd
[02:20] <brenden> fyi ubuntu sucks
[02:20] <WDC> ANYONE know how to configure microphones for Ubuntu?
[02:20] <brenden> yw
[02:20] <carandraug> itachi: I think you're supposed to burn it to a DVD on that computer. There's software to split it in pieces and put it together in other place if that computer lacks a DVD burner
[02:20] <itachi> mcphail: well thats another problem my computer dont reads dvd....
[02:21] <mcphail> itachi: that _is_ a problem! :)
[02:21] <timboy> I am helping a fried get their video setting working nvidia 7900 card just can't get the drivers working... we're running hardy heron and tried downloading the drivers and installing them manually but no go in the driver manager it says it's set up...
[02:21] <itachi> mcphail: yep
[02:22] <usser> timboy, did u also uninstall ubuntu's build it in driver and blacklisted the nvidia module?
[02:22] <Swan_> I practically just installed Ubuntu after a long and painful experience with Windows Vista >_>
[02:23] <carandraug> Swan_: congratulations. Hope you enjoy things with Ubuntu
[02:23] <bj_> any super wizes in here when it comes to ati cards with ubuntu
[02:23] <timboy> usser, how do I do that?
[02:23] <Swan_> I've used Linux a lot before, Ubuntu is a good distribution.
[02:23] <hitmanWilly> depends on what you want I guess
[02:23] <usser> timboy, if u're installing them manually, sudo dpkg --purge nvidia-glx-new
[02:24] <scubasteve> i need some help, i installed ubuntu through WUBI on my xp and would like to get rid of the boot menu that comes up when i start up my computer
[02:24] <Swan_> Scubasteve
[02:24] <Swan_> Do you mean make it hidden?
[02:24] <scubasteve> ya
[02:24] <Swan_> As in, automatically boot Ubuntu?
[02:24] <bj_> well, with my ati card, when i try svideo with my tv, when i start a video its just black
[02:24] <scubasteve> well, XP actually
[02:24] <Swan_> open the terminal, type in "sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst"
[02:24] <scubasteve> cuz its a family computer
[02:25] <Swan_> in that file
[02:25] <timboy> usser, did that.
[02:25] <Swan_> find the line that says "timeout 3"
[02:25] <Swan_> or something similar
[02:25] <usser> timboy, check this out https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NvidiaManual
[02:25] <dizzyd87> hey everyone
[02:25] <pookmu> how do I sync /etc/passwd and /etc/group?
[02:25] <Swan_> set the timeout to 0
[02:25] <scubasteve> i did that, i changed it to 1
[02:25] <bj_> scubasteve - you can use startup manager
[02:25] <scubasteve> i did startupmanager
[02:25] <scubasteve> the problem is
[02:26] <usser> timboy, right also add nvidia_new to this file gksudo gedit /etc/default/linux-restricted-modules-common
[02:26] <scubasteve> the thing to choose the OS
[02:26] <Swan_> GRUB
[02:26] <usser> timboy, thats the command u can use to edit it
[02:26] <Strife89> !MIDI's answer wasn't quite what I needed.
[02:26] <Swan_> That would be the bootloader, steve.
[02:26] <scubasteve> it stays up there for 15 seconds
[02:26] <scubasteve> well
[02:26] <bj_> change the time in start up manager
[02:26] <scubasteve> what should i do
[02:26] <dizzyd87> !windows
[02:26] <carandraug> scubasteve: Open /boot/grub/menu.lst
[02:27] <Strife89> Anyone else have an idea?
[02:27] <Swan_> I just have a three second timeout. look around in /boot/grub/menu.lst
[02:27] <timboy> usser, thx will try it
[02:27] <scubasteve> i know
[02:27] <scubasteve> i have set it to 1
[02:27] <bj_> and?
[02:27] <Swan_> Interesting, and you say it delays for 15 seconds?
[02:27] <scubasteve> ya
[02:27] <bj_> try more than 1
[02:27] <bj_> try 3
[02:27] <carandraug> scubasteve: you mean you wanna change Windows bootloader? I think that's the one that appears when you use Wubi
[02:28] <scubasteve> oic
[02:28] <Swan_> Ah.
[02:28] <scubasteve> well then
[02:28] <Swan_> I haven't done an install from Windows ^_^
[02:28] <scubasteve> how would i change that
[02:28] <Swan_> I just reinstall GRUB if it gets overwritten.
[02:28] <gandalfcome> If I share folders with samba under hardy, how can I change so it can be viewed with guest access
[02:28] <Swan_> There are programs which can edit the Windows bootloader.
[02:28] <scubasteve> should i go and ask google
[02:28] <kindofabuzz> suber grub disck!
[02:28] <bj_> startup manager does a good job
[02:28] <Swan_> What version of Windows? XP?
[02:28] <kindofabuzz> super
[02:29] <scubasteve> its SP2
[02:29] <carandraug> scubasteve: sorry. I think most of us here can't change it. But take a look at boot.ini I think that's the file. No idea if it's an edit and configurable file like the ones used in Linux but you can give it a try
[02:29] <WDC> Hey, I need to get my built in microphone working. How can I do that
[02:29] <scubasteve> ok will do
[02:29] <Swan_> http://vlaurie.com/computers2/Articles/bootini.htm
[02:29] <Swan_> try that
[02:29] <itachi> iFlash | itachi
[02:30] <usser> gandalfcome, add this to /etc/samba/smb.conf into the share definition  guest ok = yes
[02:30] <scubasteve> that seems like it should be right
[02:30] <scubasteve> ill brb
[02:30] <bj_> well, with my ati card, when i try svideo with my tv and try to watch a video of some sort, it just shows black
[02:30] <usser> gandalfcome, http://www.oregontechsupport.com/samba/samba-config.php here look at the [public] section this is pretty much what u looking for
[02:30] <bj_> any ideas
[02:30] <corigo> How can I run a Hard disk check and repair from the live cd?
[02:31] <carandraug> corigo: you mean badblocks?
[02:31] <corigo> yes
[02:31] <gandalfcome> usser: thanks another question, when I share with right click share on a folder, there is no corresponding entry in smb.conf, where is the share listed?
[02:31] <carandraug> corigo: I believe it's already installed. Just run it from the terminal badblocks -v /path_to_device
[02:32] <carandraug> corigo: to find /path_to_device , run "sudo fdisk -l"
[02:33] <Swan_> Is there an xchat plugin for firefox?
[02:33] <usser> gandalfcome, im sorry to say that i have no idea i've never done it this way
[02:33] <dizzyd87> bj_, i have the same issue as you and i don't think there's a fix for that yet
[02:34] <bj_> dizzyd87 have you tried quite a few drivers and such?
[02:34] <qr> Swan_: there's chatzilla, which is an IRC plugin for firefox.  Although there's no xchat plugin afaik.
[02:34] <gandalfcome> usser: thanks
[02:34] <usser> gandalfcome, seeing how it doesnt ask for administrative permissions while sharing i'd say somewhere in your home folder
[02:34] <Swan_> Okay, thanks.
[02:34] <dizzyd87> bj_. so far only flgrx and a few proprietary but nothing yet :(
[02:35] <bj_> dizzyd87 have you managed to get any picture through to the tv? like the desktop or anything?
[02:36] <dizzyd87> bj_, i'm on a thinkpad r40 , I tried and tried and tried asked around here countless times searched google for many many hours but no one has seemed to come up with s-video support
[02:36] <WDC> Okay. How can see I what my microphone's model is?
[02:36] <swamptin> Can't seem to find libmp3lame.so.0 Any ideas where synaptic may have stored it?
[02:37] <kindofabuzz> swamptin, whereis  libmp3lame.so
[02:38] <swamptin> kindofabuzz: now, see.... I feel like a twat. :) thanks.
[02:38] <bj_> dizzyd87 im on a latitude d810, iv played around with lots of things and different setups, some have lost all use of my desktop, tried envyng, i am not great with the terminal , so it may be me.  I can get my desktop to the tv but a video turns it blac
[02:39] <WDC> Hello?!? How can I see what is installed on my computer? Hardware wise?
[02:39] <rsk> WDC lspci
[02:39] <carandraug> WDC: you can run lshw
[02:39] <rsk> and to see the cpu run cat /proc/cpuinfo
[02:39] <dizzyd87> bj_, i know on windows for s-video if you're doing a fullscreen movie you have to specifically set the s-video port to be the main video outlet
[02:39] <rsk> and memory cat /proc/meminfo
[02:40] <WDC> rsk: awesome thanks.
[02:40] <WDC> carandraug: Let's see what your command does.
[02:40] <carandraug> WDC: a big list of everything. lshw=list hardware
[02:41] <carandraug> WDC: while lspci=list pci
[02:41] <histo> carandraug: and lshw -C html
[02:42] <WDC> carandraug: Cool thanks. Now, what most likely would my microphone be under?
[02:42] <histo> WDC: if its plugged in to your sound card it wont' be there. IF its usb you can lsusb
[02:42] <WDC> histo: It's a laptop, so built it
[02:42] <WDC> histo: Built in*
[02:43] <carandraug> WDC: no idea. Never had one. But there was a nice GUI for that command, tree like, which would help you find it
[02:43] <WDC> carandraug: and that command is?
[02:43] <dexter> hey...can anyone help me....i went to system-->pref--->sound..i selected alsa sound drivers for all options nd tested it...i get beep sounds from my speakers, but i dont get sounds wen i play movies
[02:43] <histo> WDC: its probably just mic'd off the sound card it should just work. You just need to unmute it.
[02:44] <sam_d> WDC, under alsa, input source, my built in mic appears as front mic
[02:44] <Expl0ited> lol
[02:44] <Strife89> !MIDI
[02:44] <histo> !codec | dexter
[02:44] <WDC> histo: hmmm. I did that, and Audacity doesn't repsond
[02:44] <histo> WDC: well see if anything is listed under lsusb
[02:44] <carandraug> WDC: it's not installed by default. I used to have it but no longer. I'll see if I can find it
[02:44] <dexter> hist; SigmaTel STAC9221 A1
[02:44] <WDC> carandraug: cool thanks
[02:44] <WDC> histo: Let me see
[02:44] <histo> WDC: and mic is muted by default in ubuntu
[02:44] <Strife89> !help
[02:44] <dexter> histo; SigmaTel STAC9221 A1
[02:45] <Strife89> !question
[02:45] <histo> dexter: check out the message from ubottu about codec
[02:45] <histo> Strife89: what do you need?
[02:45] <WDC> histo: All I see is this: Bus 006 Device 002: ID 05ca:1839 Ricoh Co., Ltd
[02:45] <Strife89> Histo: Well, I'm trying to get Audacity to produce sound when I try to play MIDIs.
[02:46] <histo> !sound > WDC
[02:46] <dexter> histo; ya i'll try....i m trying getting my sound over a month..i used even sound troubleshooting...but then i got stuck somewhere...
[02:46] <TwoD> I need help with an extremely weird situation! In nearly every folder on my ntfs disks there are now .exe files with the name of the folder. All are 41.7KB in size!
[02:46] <histo> !midi > Strife89
[02:46] <Strife89> I have Timidity installed already. Is it possibly to assign the patchset to Audacity?
[02:46] <histo> TwoD: okay how did they get there?
[02:47] <WDC> histo: Where is Volume Control?
[02:47] <histo> Strife89: that i'm not sure of possibly audacity support might help
[02:47] <sam_d> WDC, double click the small speaker un the notification area, then click on edit>preferences, and check mark input source and capture, then new tabs will apear, click on the "options" tab, and select your front mic as input, then select the "recording" tab and unmute capture and turn the input source all the way up
[02:47] <oggu> Are there any american page to compare cell phone privider costs?
[02:47] <Strife89> histo: Unfortunately I already followed the instructions there and they did not accomplish what I wanted.
[02:47] <ASrock> is there an AMD irc channel anywhere?
[02:47] <TwoD> histo, I have no idea... I just noticed it after trying Glest.
[02:47] <histo> WDC: by the clock .
[02:47] <histo> WDC: or you can alsamixer
[02:48] <WDC> histo: got it thanks
[02:48] <Billllll> GOD!
[02:48] <histo> TwoD: sounds like some kind of worm
[02:48] <histo> TwoD: clickme.exe
[02:49] <willfrand> hey
[02:49] <TwoD> histo, thanks got more info?
[02:49] <histo> it
[02:49] <histo> TwoD: hold up
[02:50] <histo> TwoD: do you hav ea virus scanner?
[02:50] <carandraug> WDC: looks like it's called lshw-gtk , instead you can put everything into an html file and open it with firefox/browser_of_choice .The command is sudo lshw -html > lshw.html This file appear into your home folder
[02:50] <TwoD> histo, nope, never needed one until now.
[02:50] <sam_d> TwoD if ur under ubuntu, install ClamAV
[02:50] <Strife89> histo: My thoughts are that I could point Audacity to the patchset that I got with Timidity, or point it to the "server" that I set up Timidity as (per Wiki instructions) but I'm not sure how I would accomplish either.
[02:50] <sam_d> twod its under synaptid
[02:50] <sam_d> synaptic
[02:51] <histo> TwoD: never needed one on windows lol
[02:51] <TwoD> sam_d, doing it now
[02:51] <histo> Strife89: I have no idea you'd have to ask the audacity people
[02:51] <histo> sam_d: he needs to scan his ntfs drive
[02:51] <WDC> histo: Everything is maxxed, not muted and NOTHING (from the mics is coming in)
[02:51] <willwill> hello, I got PANIC: Circular Dependancy when I start my computer again after upgrade my kernel to -21
[02:51] <Strife89> histo: They're pretty quiet tonight.
[02:51] <sam_d> histo, yeah, but he can do it with clam av, as far as i know
[02:52] <Strife89> histo: The channel's rather empty.
[02:52] <carandraug> TwoD: instead of downloading an antivirus, if it's just to check it's one, you can go to kapersky site and scan the file there with online tools
[02:52] <sam_d> willwill, does the old kernel still appear on your grub menu?
[02:52] <willwill> sam_d, yes, but the old kernels also have this problem too
[02:52] <WDC> carandraug: hmmm. Still can't get ANYTHING to come up from my mic
[02:52] <histo> TwoD: sounds like the folder.exe virus.
[02:52] <b_> how do i use the commands pwck and grpck?
[02:53] <histo> TwoD: you can also install a virus scanner in ubuntu and scan the ntfs drive
[02:53] <histo> !virus | TwoD
[02:53] <TwoD> histo, doing that now
[02:53] <sam_d> histo thats what clamav does,
[02:53] <dr_Willis> TwoD,  clamav is handy, and has a front end or 2 you can use..
[02:53] <carandraug> WDC: I never had a microphone. I was just helping you in showing all your hardware
[02:53] <histo> sam_d: Yeah I know
[02:53] <danand> TwoD - clamav
[02:53] <WDC> carandraug: Hmm mthanks
[02:53] <histo> TwoD: apt-cache search clamav
[02:53] <cwill747> b_, use man pwck and man grpck to see how to use these commands
[02:54] <histo> TwoD: and like others have suggested you may want to get a frontend
[02:54] <TwoD> histo, danand , dr_Willis I am already installing it now hehe
[02:54] <itachi> after reinstalling driver
[02:54] <itachi> what now
[02:54] <WDC> Here's my problem.
[02:54] <WDC> When Audacity is set to ALSA, and I record it says this: Error while opening sound device. Please check the input device settings and the project sample rate.
[02:54] <b_> casper - the ubuntu livecd scripts are very picky about creating the livecd user. If you have issues, please run pwck and grpck as root to fix /etc/passwd and /etc/group. These have to be in sync in order for casper to create the livecd/dvd user.
[02:54] <cwill747> itachi: are you still having flash problems? (i've been gone for a bit)
[02:54] <sam_d> WDC you followed my instructions avobe? thats how i got mine working
[02:54] <M1DLG> Hi all, is there anyway of using my netMD minidisk through linux? IE to rip my music off it and go modern?
[02:55] <sam_d> WDC does the mic works w other software?
[02:55] <itachi> cwill747: yeah.... -.-
[02:55] <cwill747> itachi: what are your problems now?
[02:55] <ldiamond> Can any1 tell me why I can't ping my other computer from my ubuntu machine using the computer's name? (I can when I'm directly plugged onto it, but not when I'm through a router, I have to use IP then)
[02:55] <WDC> sam_d: In WIndows, yes lol. Let me try you instructions, didn't see it
[02:56] <sam_d> ldiamond, try "ping <serv name>
[02:56] <salaz> how to quote a name?
[02:56] <histo> salaz: What do you mean?
[02:56] <histo> salaz: stuff with spaces?
[02:56] <salaz> ha like u do
[02:56] <itachi> cwill747: when i click enter twice from terminal it just cancel it it doen't install
[02:57] <ldiamond> sam_d, thats what I'm trying to do. It only works with the IP, not the computer name
[02:57] <carandraug> salaz: what IRC client do you use?
[02:57] <M1DLG> anyone know how I can rip my music back off a minidisk using linux?
[02:57] <cwill747> itachi: do you put in the password?
[02:57] <salaz> xchat
[02:57] <WDC> sam_d: Audacity says: Error while opening sound device. Please check the input device settings and the project sample rate.
[02:57] <itachi> cwill747: doen't ask for password
[02:57] <carandraug> salaz: put the first letters and then press tab
[02:57] <danand> ldiamond - /etc/resolv.conf
[02:57] <cwill747> itachi: are you using sudo apt-get install flashsomethingorrather
[02:58] <salaz> owh okk
[02:58] <salaz> carandraug: tq ;-)
[02:58] <WDC> sam_d: Eh?
[02:58] <carandraug> salaz: you can also change the punctuation. An ":" instead of a "," for example. Go to preferences and look for "input box"
[02:59] <itachi> cwill747: listen i just etracted flash player 10... then it says if i want to run it with terminal nd twhen i run it it says to install press enter i press it nd then it says note close all browse nd then i press enter again nd it cancel
[02:59] <sam_d> WDC if you already did my instructions no problem, open auditacy , then edit>preferences, AUDIO I/O and change the input source to alsa mic
[02:59] <histo> M1DLG: minicds?
[02:59] <sam_d> WDC or alsa:default
[02:59] <cwill747> itachi: please put the output in the pastebin and post the link
[02:59] <WDC> sam_d: That's my problem. When I select alsa:default it says: Error while opening sound device. Please check the input device settings and the project sample rate.
[02:59] <salaz> i've been using ubuntu for 6 month and i've formatted my windows..it seems no prob at all n i love using ubuntu..before this i use opensuse

[03:00] <itachi> cwill747: wat r u talking bout
[03:00] <monostone> ok, i want to setup a pptpd server on my ubuntu box, to create remote access VPN so I can, running xp on virtualbox, give remote desktop support to a winxp machine. The  remote computer is running on radio wireless internet, so i can't do a rdesktop direct connect, since the ISP has the needed ports blocked. I must tunnel through a VPN. I have the pptpd server running and configured, i have xp in VirtualBox up and running and conn
[03:00] <monostone> ected to the internet, but dont know why the connections to the VPN server are being refused, Im doing local tests. Any ideas?
[03:00] <ldiamond> danand, what am I looking for there?
[03:00] <histo> M1DLG: why are you still using minidisc?
[03:00] <cwill747> copy and paste what is showing up in the terminal to the pastebin
[03:00] <cwill747> !pastebin | itachi
[03:00] <sam_d> WDC when you open alsa config (the small speaker) did you selected input source as "front mic"?
[03:01] <WDC> sam_d: Let me lake sure
[03:01] <WDC> sam_d: make*
[03:01] <dexter> histo; i have some ibm softwares like db2...i m not able 2 install them..can u help me
[03:01] <salaz> monostone: maybe do the port forwarding? huhu
[03:01] <histo> dexter: Have no idea what you are talking about.
[03:01] <WDC> sam_d: Yah all three "inputs" are front mic
[03:01] <WDC> sam_d: And everything is unmuted and maxxed
[03:02] <dexter> histo; okk thanq
[03:02] <sam_d> WDC can you make sure the mic is working good with other software such as the default audio recorder (applications>sound and vidio>audio recorder)
[03:02] <histo> dexter: http://www.ubuntu.com/news/db2cert
[03:02] <histo> dexter: http://www.ubuntu.com/partners/ibm/db2
[03:02] <histo> dexter: google is your friend
[03:02] <danand> ldiamond - unless you have a dns server for your network, /etc/resolv.conf should hold the ip's and names of the relevant machines corresponding to that ip...
[03:02] <itachi> cwill747: http://paste.ubuntu.com/40058/plain/
[03:02] <dexter> histo; yup..u r right...but not always....
[03:03] <histo> danand: wouldn't a wins server accomplish what he wants.
[03:03] <WDC> sam_d: Damnit. No
[03:03] <salaz> can u all recommend me other video editing tools besides kino?
[03:03] <sam_d> WDC dosnt work, or you cant check/
[03:03] <cwill747> itachi: no i mean copy and paste your actual terminal window, like where you typed in the stuff to install flash

[03:06] <salaz> pajamian: something like u-lead video editing..
[03:06] <danand> histo - err ... not sure ... he should be able to add the relevant entries for his machines in /etc/resolv.conf (to point to his local dns server) or in /etc/hosts (mapping of ip and hostnames
[03:06] <pajamian> salaz: I don't know what that is.
[03:06] <erpo> Which program should I use for desktop widgets? I'm running Gnome.
[03:06] <itachi> cwill747: i havnt try it
[03:06] <itachi> cwill747: it just ask for flash...
[03:06] <salaz> pajamian: ok..other than kino?what do you recommend>
[03:06] <sam_d> open video editor? its under synaptic i think
[03:06] <oklinux> any one run testgen ?
open video editor? its under synaptic i think
[03:07] <salaz> sam_d: yes..the name?
[03:07] <cwill747> itachi, go to your ubuntu, go to system -> administration -> synaptic package manager, and search for flashplugin
[03:07] <pajamian> salaz: well, for authoring I like devede, but I haven't found a great editor yet.
[03:07] <histo> danand: no WINS server via samba to take care of the pinging by hostname. it would be just like on a windows network no?
[03:07] <itachi> cwill747: after that what
[03:07] <cwill747> itachi: check the checkbox next to the name, and "mark it for installation". Then click apply at the top
[03:07] <salaz> pajamian: devede..okeh
[03:07] <danand> ldiamond - look at /etc/hosts if you don't have a dns server for your network
[03:07] <erpo> salaz: Kino isn't awful.
[03:07] <histo> danand: neways I could be wrong but I have to go.
[03:08] <cwill747> itachi: it should then install flash, and anything else you need
[03:08] <sam_d> salaz $sudo apt-get install openmovieeditor
[03:08] <salaz> erpo: yeah..gotta to try others too
[03:08] <danand> histo - not sure ... never used a wins server???
[03:08] <itachi> cwill747: that flash is for browser
[03:08] <ldiamond> danand, I was just thinking, it works on windows... how come?
[03:08] <salaz> sam_d: ok thanx
[03:08] <itachi> cwill747: i need flash player like for the all computer
[03:08] <roldyx> hello.. by default.. are there some irc client?
[03:08] <salaz> pajamian: have u used avidemux?
[03:09] <pajamian> salaz: nope
[03:09] <sam_d> roldyx nope, but xchat is kool
[03:09] <ldiamond> danand, nameserver 192.168.1.1
[03:09] <salaz> pajamian: okeh
[03:09] <sam_d> roldyx you can install it with synaptid
[03:09] <roldyx> oks
[03:10] <danand> ldiamond - is that from /etc/resolv.conf?
[03:10] <itachi> cwill747: that flash is for browser
[03:10] <itachi> cwill747: i need flash player like for the all computer
[03:10] <cwill747> itachi: that's what flash is?
[03:10] <axenory> !clone
[03:11] <itachi> cwill747: ha ok i'll try to install it from ther
[03:11] <cwill747> itachi: yep, go for it
[03:11] <ldiamond> danand no, thats from hosts
[03:11] <cwill747> itachi: or type in sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
[03:11] <cwill747> itachi: whatever is easier for you
[03:11] <itachi> cwill747: ok i'll try brb
[03:12] <ldiamond> I guess ill try to activate NetBios on my router, see what happens
[03:12] <TwoD> Gha! What is wrong with the gui window of ClamTK? It keeps jumping around on both my monitors and refuses to stay where I put it :(
[03:13] <danand> ldiamond - hmmm .... thats a bit odd... /etc/resolv.conf should be the place for that type of entry. Do you have the name of your local machine in /etc/hosts ie 127.0.0.1 machine.name??
[03:13]  * ASUS-tek does any buddy know how to install spypee on 64 bit ubuntu 8.04
[03:14] <TheMaxzilla> ASUS-tek. Is it an application? If so, sudo apt-get install sypee
[03:14] <TheMaxzilla> *spyee
[03:14] <TheMaxzilla> *spypee
[03:14] <ldiamond> danand, yes, and sorry, that other one was from resolv.conf, I had 2 outputs next to each other.
[03:14] <cwill747> !info spypee
[03:14] <ASUS-tek> okey TheMaxzilla
[03:15] <TheMaxzilla> heh, nope. How about... Go to their site and download it for Linux / *UNIX, and read the Readme.txt
[03:15] <ldiamond> 127.0.1.1 ldiamond-usb-ubuntu.diamond
[03:15] <ASUS-tek> can't find package dude TheMaxzilla
[03:15] <TheMaxzilla> ^^^Read my other post.
[03:16] <cwill747> !info spypee | ASUS-tek
[03:17] <mikeb55> Anyone know regex off hand, how would I match in [0-9] in between / /  so like:  "/345345354/"
[03:17] <salaz> heloo...what hacking application/software for ubuntu hardy?
[03:17] <ASUS-tek> ya what should I do cwill747 and TheMaxzilla
[03:17] <TheMaxzilla> Go to their site and download it for Linux / *UNIX
[03:17] <cwill747> ASUS-tek: where does this application exist?
[03:17] <danand> ldiamond - it would seem that your dns server on your router does not know about names and ip addresses of your machines. For a small network, adding an entry in /etc/hosts is perfectly acceptable ie 192.168.2.2 homepc-01 in /etc/hosts should allow you to ping 192.168.2.2 with the command ping homepc-01
[03:17] <Dr_willis> salaz,  the term 'hacking' is rather vague and often missused.
[03:17] <TheMaxzilla> salaz: That all depends on what you want to hack. ;-)
[03:18] <ASUS-tek> I don't know cwill7
[03:18] <andresj> is there a way to provide a user with add/remove/change users capability, without giving it access to root?
[03:18] <cwill747> ASUS-tek: why are you trying to install it?
[03:18] <salaz> on LAN structure only..i want to test the security of my phpBB
[03:18] <Dr_willis> andresj,  with sudo you can set up specific commands a user can use.
[03:18] <ASUS-tek> I wanna use skype on my ubuntu
[03:19] <andresj> Dr_willis: yes, but how about the Users Settings visual configuration?

[03:20] <ldiamond> danand, the thing is that it works under windows... there must be something I can fix to make it work under linux.
[03:20] <Kcaj> It is unrelated to Ubuntu, or I would ;) lol I didn't really think there would be too many other IRC places to find knowledgable individuals in real-time, though.

[03:21] <salaz> owh.... ;-(
[03:21] <danand> ldiamond - ?? not sure why it would work on windows.... like i said adding the relevant name and ip address in /etc/hosts should allow you to ping machine_name under a GNU/Linux system...
[03:22] <BeepII> OK, I'm trying to back up some CDs in case they break or something (it's happened to me... not pretty)
[03:22] <usser> ldiamond, yea sure install winbind
[03:22] <BeepII> Is there a way to just copy the .iso?
[03:22] <carandraug> salaz: I've heard about a distro only for that kind of stuff. I believe it's called infiltrator
[03:22] <ldiamond> usser winbind?
[03:22] <BeepII> and burn it to a CD?
[03:22] <danand> !info winbind
[03:22] <salaz> carandraug: is it can be used on ubuntu?
[03:23] <usser> ldiamond, u want to ping windows machines right?
[03:23] <carandraug> BeepII: just right click in the iso and select burn to disc
[03:23] <usser> ldiamond, by name
[03:23] <TheMaxzilla> salaz: take ubottu's suggestion and look at https://help.ubuntu.com/ and http://wiki.ubuntu.com/ . Also, try google it, I'm sure there's others have had that too.
[03:23] <ldiamond> usser, yes
[03:23] <BeepII> is there a way to get the .iso from a disk?
[03:23] <mike4263> hey, how do mount loopback filesystems (these are wubi virtual images)
[03:23] <salaz> TheMaxzilla: okeh
[03:24] <carandraug> salaz: it's a distro, not an application. Runs in a LiveCD and already has most applications you need for that kind of "jobs"
[03:24] <MidgetSpy> hey guys, I've got an ext3 filesystem on a RAID array which I just grew in capacity. I need to expand the partition and filesystem (as I understand it, at least) but I need to unmount it first. When I try sudo umount /myfolder it says "device is busy". Is this a problem or can I just force it to unmount?
[03:24] <usser> ldiamond, so just install it and modify your hosts line int /etc/nsswitch.conf to read something like this "'hosts:          files wins mdns4_minimal dns mdns4" just add wins after files
[03:24] <salaz> carandraug: owh..ok then..tq ;-)
[03:24] <ldiamond> Ok, now thats a bigger problem, I'm not even able to ping myself by name...!
[03:24] <djhash> Beepll: are you trying to make an image of a CD into a file?
[03:24] <cwill747> BeepII: http://www.dickson.me.uk/2007/05/15/how-to-rip-a-cd-to-an-iso-file-in-linux/

[03:25] <hwilde_> sry tab complete
[03:25] <casao> it aims to be but it's been proven time and again not to be
[03:26] <casao> just worth a mention
[03:26] <danand> ldiamond - check your /etc/hosts file has the 127.0.0.1 machine_name entry... ie for my machine (hopc-01) the entry is 127.0.0.1 hopc-01
[03:26] <red_zep> Can anyone help me get my wireless driver back?
[03:26] <slammed87d21> how do i set it up on ubuntu?
[03:26] <hwilde_> red_zep, where'd you put it
[03:26] <cwill747> hahaha
[03:26] <red_zep> i believe the bit bucket
[03:26] <red_zep> I was trying to update the driver and ran ./remove_old
[03:26] <slammed87d21> how do i set it up on ubuntu?
[03:26] <mike4263> to mount a loopback image, its just 'mount -t loop <image> <mnt point?'... right?
[03:27] <casao> slammed87d21: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/1848
[03:27] <hwilde_> slammed87d21, did you even look under the keyboard options
[03:27] <cwill747> slammed87d21: system - > preferences - > keyboard
[03:27] <Odd-rationale> slammed87d21: you can use the system --> pref --> keyboard settings

[03:27] <willwill> I got PANIC: Circular Dependancy when I start my computer again after upgrade my kernel to -21
[03:27] <mike4263> its a wubi image, thats equivalent right?
[03:28] <casao> danand: how do you mount it like on other operating systems, where it actually registered as a CD instead of a directory.
[03:28] <WDC> Okay, I need help getting XP to work on Virtual Box. http://pastebin.ca/1182891 I keep getting that, but have installed tons of packages from Synaptic. Any help?
[03:28] <Odd-rationale> slammed87d21: or you can set it at a deeper level like X. Here's a snippet from my /etc/X11/xorg.conf file : http://pastebin.com/m1db23045
[03:28] <casao> WDC: don't grab synaptic, goto the website and get the real version
[03:28] <andresj> HELP! I made a syntax error in /etc/sudoers... now i don't know how to change it
[03:29] <WDC> casao: Which do I need? the ose-modules-generic?
[03:29] <casao> WDC: don't get it from synaptic, i just said that
[03:29] <BeepII> dd if=/dev/cdrom of=my_cd_image.iso  didn't work...
[03:29] <BeepII> said it copied 0 bytes
[03:29] <casao> WDC: the synaptic version is crap, get the real version from the website
[03:29] <ldiamond> usser, I've done that, still no response4
[03:29] <WDC> casao: What is the difference?
[03:29] <pajamian> BeepII: is this a music CD or a data CD?
[03:30] <edju> Streaming radio of WTOP, DC news radio, says it supports "PC, MAC and Linux users!  Please make sure that you have the latest Windows Media Player.  Computer safe!"   Aaaargh!!
[03:30] <BeepII> music
[03:30] <casao> WDC: the real version isn't open source, it's pre-compiled and it's distributed in a .deb that sets everything up, instead of making you guess at modules
[03:30] <sabrina__> org
[03:30] <pajamian> BeepII: that doesn't work with music CDs.  I'm not sure how you can make an iso of them.  I usually just rip them to ogg or mp3 files.
[03:30] <usser> ldiamond, after u edited nsswitch.conf do sudo /etc/init.d/winbind restart also u may want to add wins to networks: line in nsswitch
[03:30] <BeepII> yeah, that would work too...
[03:31] <WDC> casao: So I definatly want the OSE one on the site?
[03:31] <BeepII> but it feels like such a waste because I can fit hundreds of mp3s on a single cd...
[03:31] <BeepII> but thanks anyway.
[03:31] <pajamian> BeepII: to rip to ogg or mp3 use audio cd extractor under Applications / sound and video
[03:31] <slammed87d21> so where do i put that?
[03:31] <BeepII> I *think* I'm doing that right now.
[03:31] <casao> WDC: https://cds.sun.com/is-bin/INTERSHOP.enfinity/WFS/CDS-CDS_SMI-Site/en_US/-/USD/ViewProductDetail-Start?ProductRef=innotek-1.6-G-F@CDS-CDS_SMI click on the proper ubuntu version
[03:31] <WDC> casao: When I download the source, will I need to get 2342839 dependencies like everything else?
[03:32] <BeepII> I clicked sth that says copy to library
[03:32] <pajamian> BeepII: ok, then
[03:32] <andresj> i guesss there is no way
[03:32] <BeepII> so I assume it's putting it under /music
[03:32] <carandraug> andresj: you should have use visudo
[03:32] <andresj> LiveCD
[03:32] <casao> WDC: you're not downloading the source, do you actually read or just blabber on and on without doing so?
[03:32] <andresj> carandraug: haha yah... using livecd
[03:32] <pajamian> BeepII: yeah, well under ~/Music actually
[03:32] <andresj> to rescue it

[03:35] <hwilde_> chronographer,  opensolaris is gnome desktop.
[03:35] <WDC> `brooks: and you ask in #ubuntu why?
[03:36] <`brooks> ... is there a reason i shouldn't have?
[03:36] <tina> is there a p2p file sharing program for ubuntu i can use
[03:36] <Doctor_Nick> I
[03:36] <trojatra> OpenSolaris is very nice, except it had some MAJOR package/repo issues when I last used it.
[03:36] <stdin> `brooks: you mean besides the fact that this is an Ubuntu support channel?
[03:36] <ldiamond> usser, not working still :(
[03:36] <usser> tina, frostwire
[03:36] <trojatra> But that's not #ubuntu chat..
[03:36] <usser> ldiamond, i dunno it usually does it for me
[03:37] <`brooks> oh, i just wanted to see what a learned linux-user's perspective would be.
[03:37] <BeepII> 'brooks:  #ubuntu is a help channel... not a discussion about ubuntu
[03:37] <tina> where I find frostwire
[03:37] <pkundu> i was looking for something like http://www.java2s.com/Code/Python/CatalogPython.htm
[03:37] <BeepII> anyways, bye alls.
[03:37] <pkundu> thanks to all
[03:37] <stdin> `brooks: you'd get a better response in #ubuntu-offtopic
[03:37] <`brooks> ah, my mistake.
[03:37] <chronographer> Hi. I got a problem where when I try to add something to the session prefs menu i get an error: The startup command cannot be empty =)
[03:38] <KennedyNoia> pessoal, estou com um problema com o ubuntu, quando coloco o liveCD ele nao inicia no meu notebook da um erro e vai direto para o INITRAMFS
[03:38] <usser> tina, frostwire.org
[03:38] <pajamian> !es | KennedyNoia
[03:38] <carandraug> !pt | KennedyNoia
[03:39] <pajamian> heh, I got the wrong language?
[03:39] <carandraug> pajamian: yes. I'm portugues as well ;)
[03:39] <pajamian> carandraug: it looked like spanish to me, but they do look similar when you don't know either.
[03:40] <Trinithis> how safe is ubuntu' ntfs support?
[03:40] <chronographer> Trinithis: i have used it a bit and tis never caused probs
[03:40] <Trinithis> cool
[03:40] <KennedyNoia> guys, i have a problem whit ubuntu, when boot whith liveCD it not stark on my notebook, erro and go to INITRAMFS
[03:41] <carandraug> pajamian: you're right. For one reason we're neighbors. Portuguese and spanish can understand each other quite well by default
[03:41] <pajamian> KennedyNoia: have you tried the alternate install CD?
[03:41] <carandraug> Trinithis: since ntfs3g I think it's flawless
[03:42] <Trinithis> So it allows r/w to my windows partition right?
[03:42] <chronographer> yep
[03:42] <carandraug> Trinithis: yes
[03:42] <CKataklysm> how stable?
[03:42] <chronographer> its enabled in ubuntu now days right? otherwise apt-get install ntfs-3g
[03:42] <zeeeee> hi, fstab looks as if it may have been automatically generated. is this the case? what program(s) write it? is it safe to edit this file directly (will changes be lost)?
[03:42] <carandraug> Trinithis: just be careful. It won't warn if you're deleting a system file
[03:42] <chronographer> http://www.linux-ntfs.org/doku.php
[03:43] <acrousey> I am not finding my monitor listed in "sudo gksu displayconfig-gtk". I am getting kind of frustrated with the Plug'n'Play option. Is there a way I could manually enter my monitor into "sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf"?
[03:43] <zeeeee> (i know that traditionally it's a config file meant to be manually edited, but i was wondering if ubuntu has some automatic hardware configuration magic that includes generating an fstab)
[03:43] <carandraug> zeeeee: changes won't be lost. You can manually edit it, it's not that hard
[03:43] <Trinithis> I won't be doing 'clever' things like that :D
[03:43] <joker> what is the easy way to install gtk+
[03:44] <zeeeee> carandraug, i know how to use fstab, i was just wondering how my initial fstab got there
[03:44] <TheMaxzilla> !gtk
[03:44] <MinusSeven> is the UK disconnected from the internet?
[03:44] <Trinithis> brb... rebooting
[03:44] <TheMaxzilla> !gtk+
[03:44] <pajamian> joker: it should already be installed
[03:45] <hitman1985> sup all, is there anyone here who knows about linux webhosting in general, i need a special feature to work and im not sure if i can make it happen or how ...
[03:45] <zeeeee> carandraug, and also, i'm wondering how this interacts with things that automatically mount partitions (e.g. when attaching a removable disk)
[03:45] <Zasp> hitman1985, ask the question
[03:45] <carandraug> zeeeee: no idea, sorry. Never heard of tool to automatically edit it
[03:45] <pajamian> hitman1985: what do you need to work?
[03:45] <hitman1985> i was thinkin about this :
[03:46] <hitman1985> i create a folder with my ftp program and i want ppl to be able to browse that folder and acces files from their webbrowser after putting in the correct password
[03:46] <hitman1985> i dont know if that is coming out correctly :)
[03:46] <pajamian> hitman1985: that's easy
[03:46] <hitman1985> pajamian, ok, how to do it on a 1and1 hosted linux server ;-) still easy ?
[03:47] <carandraug> zeeeee: from my experience, no automatically mounted partition appeared there, ever. Maybe there's someway to make them interact and auto-add but I don't know how
[03:47] <hitman1985> i got my domains and so on and all the php stuff i needed worked so far but in that function im totally nooob
[03:47] <lone-soldier> just installed ubuntu from windows. when booting ubuntu, it enters a command line after the loading splash. whats wrong? please assist
[03:48] <pajamian> hitman1985: all you do is create the folder in your webspace (via ftp) and you can use http basic authentication to control access to it.
[03:48] <hitman1985> what is basic authetication ?
[03:48] <pajamian> one sec ...
[03:48] <hitman1985> pajamian, sorry forgot to put that upfront :(
[03:48] <Zasp> Anybody ever get "I/O Error. Reboot" error when booting from ubuntu CD?
[03:48] <carandraug> lone-soldier: what else appears? No error? Did you installed the desktop version? Because the server version has no graphics by default
[03:49] <Zasp> I get the menu, but when I select anything it gives me the errors...theres tons of people that apparently have it, but nobodies posting solutions?
[03:49] <chronographer> can anyone remember how to stop the compiz delay when clicking menus and things?
[03:49] <pajamian> hitman1985: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/howto/auth.html
[03:50] <lone-soldier> installed the desktop version, no error messages, i get the command line screen that says type help for a list of commands
[03:50] <chronographer> oh and can someone tell me how to manually add some applications to startup? gnome-sessions-preferences is not working for me.
[03:50] <ShutterBC> Zasp: did you try to make sure the CD isn't damaged?
[03:50] <pajamian> hitman1985: please continue to discuss this in channel.  There's no need for PM.
[03:50] <hitman1985> pajamian, oh ok sorry
[03:50] <Zasp> ShutterBC, nod
[03:51] <dexter> histo; i used the ubottu's help...but still i ain't getting any result
[03:51] <hitman1985> pajamian, i ll read me into it and then if i got some more questions later i ll come online, thank you so far
[03:51] <carandraug> lone-soldier: that's strange. Try Ctrl+Alt+F7 to go for the graphic server. If that doesn't work, log in and the run "startx"
[03:51] <floppyears> hi guys
[03:51] <pajamian> hitman1985: well, depending on how much people want to get around the security of basic auth, the most common attack is a brute force password guessing approach.
[03:51] <floppyears> my ubuntu machine has a dvd burner
[03:52] <floppyears> how can I use ubuntu to figure out the type of dvds and cds formats that it support ?
[03:52] <hwilde_> floppyears, what formats do yo uwant
[03:52] <lone-soldier> i am running raid-0, could that be a problem?
[03:52] <floppyears> hwilde_: I just want to find out the formats that the player support
[03:53] <hwilde_> floppyears, what format do you want it to supprot
[03:53] <hitman1985> pajamian, i ll be using some random passwords, as long as i can make them, mixed characters, so a brute will take month to figure that out
[03:53] <floppyears> hwilde_: I have both dvd+r and dvd-r
[03:53] <floppyears> I just want to know which one works with the player
[03:53] <hitman1985> pajamian, if im correct with saying that :)
[03:53] <Trinithis> What file systems are good?
[03:53] <pajamian> hitman1985: mixed case letters and numbers with some other symbols thrown in is best.
[03:53] <hwilde_> floppyears, type umm lspci -v
[03:53] <hwilde_> floppyears, look for the dvd
[03:54] <usser> Trinithis, reiserfs
[03:54] <hitman1985> pajamian, yes i got a password mixup here with up to 128 bit, from my buddy who works for the feds somewhere in GA :-)
[03:54] <Trinithis> For FAT in particular, what about 16 vs 32?
[03:54] <hitman1985> should be secure for the start then i hope
[03:54] <floppyears> hwilde_: nothing shows up that has dvd in that list
[03:55] <hitman1985> pajamian, but hey i got to run pick him up at the airport lil quick i ll be on in about 1 hr or 2 again, maybe your still there later, then we ll talk some more ok ?
[03:55] <carandraug> lone-soldier: don't know anything about RAID but I think that it shouldn't be a problem with Ubuntu
[03:55] <pajamian> hitman1985: also use md5 passwords as the older crypt ones have a limit of 8 chars.
[03:55] <hiptobecubic> i have the backports repository installed and i to downgrade qt from 4.4 to 4.3, which is default. how can i do this?
[03:55] <pajamian> hitman1985: I don't know if I'll be here then but if I am then we can certainly talk.
[03:57] <pajamian> !pin | hiptobecubic
[03:57] <Serval> how Do I install VMware tools on Ubuntu?
[03:57] <hiptobecubic> pajamian, thanks :)
[03:58] <mEDEc_> hey, does anyone know how good ATi card support is currently?
[03:58] <mEDEc_> apparently they have gotten a lot better, and i'm thinking about buying a radeon for my new rig
[03:58] <hitman1985> pajamian, i  guess we can just cancel that :) my friend wants to go out after :( booooo i ll catch you some other day maybe :) thanks so far tho
[03:58] <hitman1985> i gtg so have fun and take care all ////
[03:58] <pajamian> hitman1985: no worries, at least you have a good starting point now.

[04:00] <ldiamond> synergyc
[04:00] <Serval> How do I install vmware tools on an Ubuntu virtual machine?
[04:01] <hwilde_> !who > ldiamond
[04:01] <hwilde_> ldiamond, how do you start it on startup
[04:01] <viper> mEDEc_ , compiz is still a problem, but as long as you follow setup your xorg.conf file correctly there is no issues, if your running one monitor compiz should work fine
[04:01] <Addernator> whats wrong with flash player?
[04:02] <ldiamond> hwilde_, I went into system, preferences, sessions and added the command there

[04:04] <xomp> man, I've not updated since the release of hardy lol. Some 300+ updates to download :S
[04:04] <Gracana> Looks like gnome-spell and aspell.

[04:06] <hwilde_> nooo mine first
[04:06] <TheMaxzilla> nonono
[04:06] <ShutterBC> I have to admit, I'm sometimes a little slow with updating.  I've had some things break after getting updates -- is there an easy way to roll back changes if something goes bad?
[04:06] <DayOldPorridge> Can anyone help me out with the fix on Intrepid to the pam problem?  I'm not quite sure what my /etc/pam.d/common-session is supposed to look like and what I'm supposed to edit?
[04:06] <hwilde_> ShutterBC, I wish there was a global "undo"
[04:07] <hwilde_> !intrepid > DayOldPorridge
[04:07] <ldiamond> Can any1 tell me how I can look at a process' output when the process has been started outside my terminal?
[04:07] <Gracana> fistandandelus, you're just running a different kernel now, and the old one shows up below it on the grub menu. Normal behavior, nothing to worry about.
[04:07] <fistandandelus> cool, anyway to get rid of it?
[04:07] <hwilde_> ldiamond, you have to find where it's started, and capture the output to a log file like >> ~/mylog.txt
[04:07] <Giddykong> damn i dont know how you guys can do this support, i work as a tech in a pc store and i go insane without ever dealing with people
[04:07] <ldiamond> hwlide_, I'm fine with only getting what will be outputted next, isnt there a way to catch it with a console?
[04:08] <carandraug> fistandandelus: just comment out the lines in /boot/grub/menu.lst if you really don't wann se it
[04:08] <lone-soldier> carandraug, tried but no use
[04:08] <hwilde_> ldiamond, find where it is started.
[04:08] <ldiamond> hwilde_, how?
[04:08] <carandraug> lone-soldier: no error appeared? Just a terminal?
[04:09] <favro> I removed mythtv and it took the init.d script for vncserver with it..why? - sudo dpkg-reconfigure vnc4server doesn't regenerate it - neither does apt-get remove / apt-get install. Any help with a replacement script?
[04:09] <hwilde_> ldiamond, goto terminal and type locate whatever its called

[04:20] <arvind_khadri> salaz, welcome  :)
[04:20] <jtacuyan> I go system->administration
[04:20] <pajamian> hiptobecubic: qt is going to have a lot of dependancies and if you try to pin a lower version you will have problems.
[04:21] <jtacuyan> but cant find any Login Window
[04:21] <amit> alrite, so i am installing ndiswrapper 1.53, after creating the ndiswrapper directory it says change to that directory and "make uninstall""make", how do i change to that directory

[04:22] <amit> So cd ndiswapper, tha should wor, and why the next step is make uninstall
[04:22] <pajamian> hiptobecubic: what app are you using from backports?
[04:22] <arvind_khadri> sarthor, get a torrent and start downloading it
[04:23] <pajamian> amit: I don't know why.
[04:23] <hiptobecubic> pajamian, i honestly don't remember why i started using backports but there was some legitimate reason at the time. I only want to downgrade qt 4.4
[04:24] <arvind_khadri> jtacuyan, sorry its gksu gdmsetup
[04:24] <carandraug> lone-soldier: wait a few minutes. 2 or 3 minutes. Sometimes it can take more. Also, has ubuntu ever booted since you installed? It may be that something went wrong during installation.
[04:24] <amit> pajamjan: cd diswrapper- says no file or directory
[04:24] <lone-soldier> no i've only just installed, so all i need to do is wait several minutes and it should boot?
[04:24] <arvind_khadri> amit, you need to give the whole path for that
[04:25] <pajamian> hiptobecubic: you're going to have to resolve all the dependancies, then.  Might want to turn off the backports repository and then reinstall any apps that it complains about.
[04:25] <amit> how the path works arvind_khadri
[04:25] <amit> its in my temp
[04:25] <pajamian> amit: that's because it's ndiswrapper
[04:25] <hiptobecubic> pajamian, i'll try, thanks
[04:25] <arvind_khadri> amit, where exactly is your ndiswrapper directory
[04:26] <amit> trash
[04:26] <Dr_willis> Hmm.. what an odd place to put it
[04:26] <ShutterBC> Sounds like there's some risk of breakage when messing with qt libs.  Which makes me think... what's an effective differential backup scheme for OS backups?
[04:26] <arvind_khadri> Dr_willis, :)
[04:26] <amit> wait wait amit/desktop
[04:27] <pajamian> LoL
[04:27] <Dr_willis> amit,  lesson #1 - linux IS case SenEsEtiVe Desktop is not the same as desktop
[04:27] <amit> lesson learned
[04:27] <Dr_willis> amit,  so you mean /home/amit/Desktop/ndiswrapper (or whatever its called)
[04:27] <arvind_khadri> amit, cd ~/Desktop/ndiswrapper
[04:27] <amit> yes
[04:27] <carandraug> lone-soldier: no. If that appears is because something is worng. Sometimes the error just takes time to appear
[04:27] <amit> cool awesome i will try it
[04:27] <ShutterBC> my ndiswrapper is in trash too :) (because I try to avoid using it)
[04:28] <carandraug> lone-soldier: but in your case, I would just uninstall and reinstall it.
[04:28] <pajamian> amit: btw, ndiswrapper is good as a last resort, but you should use it only as a last resort to get your wireless working.  Usually there are better more supported ways.
[04:29] <danbhfive> pajamian: what are the better ways?
[04:29] <pajamian> danbhfive: usually the restricted drivers manager.
[04:29] <jeeves__> what are the commands to compleatly remove the SSH server from my server (through Webmin), then reinstall it?  my copy is bad
[04:29] <lone-soldier> carandraug: ok i'll give it a shot. thanks for the help
[04:30] <danbhfive> pajamian: ah, ok
[04:30] <hwilde_> jeeves__, sudo apt-get remove --purge openssh-server  && sudo apt-get install openssh-server
[04:30] <New2Linux> Hello I am new to Linux and am trying it on a old computer it has 500mhz and 192 mb ram will I be able to run Ubuntu on it?
[04:30] <carandraug> lone-soldier: no problem. And good luck with the reinstallation
[04:30] <amit> pajamjam, atheros doesnt seem to work on step 4 where it says cd thingi
[04:30] <Cpudan80> New2Linux: It will run, albeit slowly
[04:30] <Cpudan80> very slowly
[04:31] <New2Linux> Ok would Xubuntu run better
[04:31] <carandraug> New2Linux: hmm, maybe it's best to try flexubuntu or xubuntu
[04:31] <jeeves__> hwilde, well, I try doing that, and it errors out on the instal
[04:31] <Cpudan80> Might want to use Xubuntu
[04:31] <hwilde_> jeeves__, pastebinit
[04:31] <hwilde_> New2Linux, icewm is real fast.
[04:31] <pajamian> amit: I'm pretty sure you don't need ndiswrapper for an atheros chipset.  Anyone else know more about atheros?
[04:31] <hwilde_> pajamian, you don't need it.
[04:31] <Dr_willis> New2Linux,  for that old a box you may want to even try some uberlight disrtos like 'dsl' or perhaps *shudder* puppylinux both should run well on it.
[04:31] <kc8pxy> i'm working with creating a pre-seed file, and I'm having a few issues when i get to where it should start installing. anyone free to help me understand why it's hanging?
[04:31] <amit> http://blog.linuxoss.com/2008/05/ubuntu-804-enabling-atheros-ar5007-based-wireless/  here is the link for directions
[04:31] <Dr_willis> New2Linux,  or use ubuntu and some minimal window manager. like icewm, or jwm
[04:31] <jeeves__> hwilde, on second
[04:31] <New2Linux> can I install xubuntu from Ubuntu (I have tried to burn Xubuntu and it all has been bad burns or iso's yet I am able to get a Ubuntu cd to boot)
[04:32] <pajamian> amit: try this instead ...
[04:32] <invisibleprison> Is there a way to make it so a program only uses one of my cores?
[04:32] <amit> go on pajamjan
[04:32] <invisibleprison> CPU cores that is
[04:32] <Dr_willis> New2Linux,  i belive 'sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop'
[04:32] <pajamian> amit: goto System / Administration / Hardware Drivers
[04:32] <C0nn0R> Used DSL for awhile and it is very light and fast so small systems will run fast on it.
[04:32] <hwilde_> !xfce | New2Linux
[04:32] <hwilde_> !icewm | New2Linux
[04:32] <carandraug> New2Linux: yes you can. Install ubuntu and then install xfce
[04:32] <FloodBot1> ubottu: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[04:32] <pajamian> amit: and see if there is an entry in there to enable your atheros wireless.
[04:32] <hwilde_> New2Linux, I like icewm personally
[04:32] <New2Linux> what is icewm
[04:32] <hwilde_> lol floodbot and ubottu going to war
[04:32] <amit> there was i disabled it
[04:33] <hwilde_> !info icewm
[04:33] <danbhfive> New2Linux: you need the alternate CD, you cant use the regular ubuntu cd
[04:33] <pajamian> amit: why?
[04:33] <jeeves__> hwilde, http://pastebin.ca/1182920
[04:33] <New2Linux> Why?
[04:33] <amit> thats what the direction said
[04:33] <Cpudan80> installed size 1448 kB lol
[04:33] <Cpudan80> WOOO!
[04:33] <Dr_willis> New2Linux,  you have to little ram to run a live cd well.
[04:33] <New2Linux> wouldn't the other cd work aren't they th same
[04:33] <danbhfive> New2Linux: you only have 192mb ram
[04:33] <kc8pxy> hwilde_:  I've never seen bots combat like that :)
[04:33] <nyu_> greetings
[04:33] <Cpudan80> New2Linux: You dont have enough RAM to run the live CD
[04:33] <Dr_willis> alternative cd installer needs less ram to work. and it has other features also.
[04:33] <pjwaffle> !info gcc
[04:34] <New2Linux> Ya can I just intall it and then xubunt
[04:34] <Cpudan80> New2Linux: It has to dump a lot of stuff onto RAM for it to work
[04:34] <pajamian> amit: ummmm, you do realize that the directions you're getting are not anything "official" to ubuntu, but just some random guy's blog, right?
[04:34] <pjwaffle> hmm this info thing is cool
[04:34] <Dr_willis> New2Linux,  you can install several of the *desktops on ubuntu.
[04:34] <arvind_khadri> kc8pxy, then you havent been around much
[04:34] <jeeves__> hwilde, my SSH server won't let me shell into the box, and the only access that I have is Webin
[04:34] <Dr_willis> New2Linux,  i belive 'sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop' is for xubuntu
[04:34] <[z]linux> is this firefox 3.0.1 buggy?
[04:34] <New2Linux> (I have tried to burn Xubunut and all the burns fail and I have been able to get Ubuntu booting)
[04:34] <pjwaffle> [z]linux: no not really
[04:34] <amit> i got the same thing from 6 unofficial blogs and websites like ubuntugeek.com
[04:34] <pjwaffle> [z]linux: as far as I can tell
[04:35] <kc8pxy> arvind_khadri:  all tthe other places i hang, i believe the bots know not to yell at each other for flodding :)
[04:35] <pajamian> amit: one min, I'm gonna have a look at that blog
[04:35] <amit> want the link
[04:35] <New2Linux> CAn I just intall it and not use the live cd?
[04:35] <Dr_willis> New2Linux,  if you got ubuntu isntalled.. you can easially install xubuntu-desktop package then to have xubuntu and ubuntu both.  select xfce at the gdm login screen and you will be using xfce/xubuntu then
[04:35] <New2Linux> without burning another cd
[04:35] <[z]linux> pjwaffle: coz everytime i right click the link to open it in a new tab.. it pop ups the book mark or sometime save as...
[04:35] <hwilde_> kc8pxy, floodbot was like yo shutup, and ubottu was like hey im just abot!
[04:35] <New2Linux> I haven't got it yet
[04:35] <arvind_khadri> kc8pxy, FB3 and FB1 fight at times and thats cool ;)
[04:35] <pjwaffle> !info linux-kernel
[04:35] <amit> pajamjan search ar5007 linux in google
[04:36] <danbhfive> New2Linux: go ahead, and try it, if it works, then the answer is yes, if it fails, then you probably need to go with the alternate cd
[04:36] <pjwaffle> info is awesome
[04:36] <hwilde_> pjwaffle, you can /msg ubottu    keeps down channel chatter
[04:36] <New2Linux> Any suggestion for getting a cd to burn (I have tried six time and haven't had a good Xubunut burn)
[04:36] <nyu_> ok, since I never used this chat before and don't know if there is any other way to ask, I will just ask my question into the channel: I wanted to install Ubuntu 8.04 on a friends notebook, unfortunately the CD drive is broken, so I chose an external one... but the boot menu doesn't detect it, so I can't boot from the CD. How do I install Ubuntu on the 10GB partition here as a dual boot to windows XP without the PC being able to boot from th
[04:36] <nyu_> e CD?
[04:36] <hwilde_> New2Linux, lower speed.  shut off other progs
[04:36] <carandraug> New2Linux: in Windows? inforecorder
[04:37] <[z]linux> how can i configure freenx server in order to connect my client pc through wan with dynamic ip?
[04:37] <New2Linux> I tried 4x bad burn still
[04:37] <invisibleprison> When I use wine, it seems my dual cores are affecting screen redraw... does anyone know how to disable a core, or make a program only use one? I tried using schedtool, but then it asks for a DVD to run the game (which is in the tray)
[04:37] <Dr_willis> New2Linux,  i normally use 'burn at once ' under windows to burn them.. also check the md5 sums to be sure the iso file is good.
[04:37] <danbhfive> nyu_: what can it boot from?
[04:37] <pajamian> amit: first thing I would do is try the restricted driver provided by ubuntu, only then, if that doesn't work, would I resort to ndiswrapper.
[04:37] <New2Linux> I am using Ifra Recorder
[04:37] <hwilde_> nyu_,  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=28948  HOWTO: Install Ubuntu Linux without burning a cd
[04:37] <carandraug> New2Linux: maybe you should download the iso again. It can be corrupted
[04:37] <New2Linux> I checked the md5sum
[04:37] <nyu_> just HDD, and network
[04:37] <arvind_khadri> !usb | nyu_
[04:37] <Dr_willis> New2Linux,  test the cd on som eothe rmachines also.. could be your old box dosent like th edisks

[04:38] <New2Linux> Well it boots yet the file are corrupt at "installing base system
[04:38] <New2Linux> "
[04:38] <Dr_willis> New2Linux,  sounds to me like a bad iso file then.
[04:38] <amit> ubuntu's one doesnt work
[04:38] <New2Linux> md5sum was checked and fine
[04:38] <carandraug> New2Linux: can be your bruner or your Cd's. Some CD's just don't burn in my computer
[04:38] <New2Linux> I burned at 4x with Ifra Recorder using imation cds
[04:39] <kc8pxy> arvind_khadri: i'n new to #ubuntu. except at the local freegeek, i install a different distro wheneeever possible.
[04:39] <danbhfive> New2Linux: try the "check the cd" operation.  That can check the cd, and your drive
[04:39] <lone-soldier> carandraug: just tried to uninstall but the uninstaller is not responsive and wont start
[04:39] <New2Linux> Ya the files are corrupt
[04:39] <Theaxiom> Anyone know a good software to auto-sync files to FTP when changed?
[04:39] <New2Linux> how can I stop that its happened six times
[04:39] <lone-soldier> carandraug: whats a safe way to manually remove ubuntu
[04:39] <Theaxiom> I am using eclipse...
[04:39] <pajamian> amit: you are using 64 bit ubuntu?
[04:39] <amit> pajamjan
[04:39] <fsufitch> i gots a problem with dvd playback. i went thru a lot, and ended up with this: all of my video players (ogle, vlc, totem) can play the dvd with no problem except for all the colors being WRONG. for example, people are blue. i have libdvdcss, libdvdread, and all the other reqs installed. i'm running ubuntu 8.04 on an intel core duo. any ideas?
[04:39] <kc8pxy> Theaxiom:  why ftp?
[04:39] <nyu_> ok, I now got a lot of links... I will look through, thank you!!!! :)
[04:39] <New2Linux> even at 4x and that was the only program and md5sum was correct
[04:39] <jumpaholic> need help, probably need hardware guru, information at: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5652564
[04:40] <amit> no i dont think so, is there any way to check that
[04:40] <hwilde_> jumpaholic, fd0 is floppy disk.  you probly don't have one.  disable in your bios
[04:40] <carandraug> lone-soldier: with WUbi, you should just go to add/remove applications and select to unistall windows. I remember a menu like that when I used XP
[04:40] <pajamian> amit: because the page you are referencing only uses ndiswrapper for 64 bit.
[04:40] <Theaxiom> kc8pxy: Because when I change a file I would like to see the changes live on the server...
[04:40] <korupted> need help please: could not find kernel image: cli, This is for the hardy heron Alternate cd. I type cli at the boot:, and i get this error any ideas?

[04:41] <pajamian> amit: yes
[04:41] <amit> it says its 32 bitversion
[04:41] <korupted> hwilde: will this give me a base command line install?
[04:41] <jeeves__> can someone look @ this and tell me what's going wrong?
[04:41] <hwilde_> korupted, yes.

[04:41] <korupted> aww thank you very much :)
[04:41] <New2Linux> Thanks for your help! :)
[04:41] <arvind_khadri> korupted, ya... alternate cd is meant for that :)
[04:41] <pajamian> amit: yes, and the directions for 32 bit version do not say anything about ndiswrapper
[04:42] <korupted> :)
[04:42] <hwilde_> !locales | jeeves__
[04:42] <pjwaffle> I have a question for linux in general... OK to post here?
[04:42] <amit> that didnt work after step 4, thats why  i turned to ndis......
[04:42] <korupted> okay ill be back in about 40 minutes let you guys know how it went thanks again..
[04:42] <hwilde_> !ask > pjwaffle
[04:42] <Dr_willis> pjwaffle,  if we dont know we can point you to a better channel. :)
[04:42] <kc8pxy> Theaxiom:  then you should try bluefish. i use the cvs version(i'm used to compiling all my own stuff), it has nice syntax highlighting, and treats remote files just as simply as local files :)
[04:42] <pajamian> amit: it only has two numbered steps, what step 4?
[04:43] <pjwaffle> sure
[04:43] <binarymutant> how do I get Music On Console to keep it's theme after restarting it?
[04:43] <amit> after the cd thing it doesnt work
[04:43] <hwilde_> Theaxiom, kc8pxy,  vim highlights nice...
[04:43] <Theaxiom> kc8pxy: Thank you, however I would prefer to stick with eclipse.
[04:43] <jeeves__> hwilde, what's this?
[04:43] <fabian> Hey everybody... I have a problem with my HAL configuration, I try to install an aplication by apt-get install, but at the end it says  Failed to initialize Hal
[04:43] <hwilde_> jeeves__, that will take care of your TERM is not set error.
[04:43] <pajamian> amit: what happened when you typed make?
[04:43] <fabian> Can somebody help me?
[04:44] <pjwaffle> Is there like a site for posting compiled kernel images? you know like for practice and stuff? I have compiled them before but they feel empty because they are usually not used.
[04:44] <hwilde_> fabian, sudo /etc/init.d/hal start
[04:44] <lone-soldier> carandraug: just tried to remove, no response
[04:44] <Dr_willis> fabian,    it could be some other app is giving the message, not the apt-get stuff..  does the app start?
[04:44] <amit> no no target specified and no makefile found
[04:44] <kc8pxy> Theaxiom:  you use eclipse for php?
[04:44] <fabian> ok let me try
[04:44] <fabian> ...
[04:44] <pajamian> amit then you didn't follow the other directions before it properly
[04:45] <amit> i did exactly everything 23times
[04:45] <Theaxiom> kc8pxy: Yes, Aptana Studio plug-in works excellent because it does also CSS/XHTML.
[04:45] <fabian>  * Starting Hardware abstraction layer hald                                     /usr/sbin/hald already running.

[04:45] <jumpaholic> hwilde_, ok with the floppy disabled it still generated the hda: drive not ready for command errors with the live cd and still dumped me to the ash (initramfs) shell
[04:45] <fabian> but still the same problem
[04:45] <pajamian> amit: that error message means you did not.
[04:46] <hwilde_> jumpaholic, what else you got, raid drivers and stuff?  restrict your bios
[04:46] <kc8pxy> Theaxiom: highlighting? or some other features with css/xhtml?
[04:46] <Theaxiom> kc8pxy: Everything :)
[04:46] <jumpaholic> hwilde_, ok will play with it but no hardware raid controllers that i know of
[04:46] <Th3_KiD> how do i enable my atheros wireless card in unbuntu
[04:46] <nyu_> one more question... if the notebook can't boot from my external USB CD drive, can it boot from a USB stick?
[04:46] <hwilde_> jumpaholic, disconnect everything and see if you can just boot cd...
[04:47] <pajamian> amit: one min
[04:47] <hwilde_> !atheros | Th3_KiD
[04:47] <amit> then what to do , ok you tell me every step i will do it
[04:47] <hwilde_> nyu_, yes if you can set the bios to boot from usb
[04:47] <kc8pxy> Theaxiom: i thought about aptana, but bluefish i does most of what i need, and is indefinately free, unlike aptana :)
[04:47] <carandraug> lone-soldier: that means that something really went wrong during your installation. I never used Wubi myself. Let me see other ways to uninstall it
[04:47] <amit> can i pm you pajamjan
[04:47] <Theaxiom> kc8pxy: I will check it out, thanks.
[04:47] <nyu_> I wanted to, the PC bios doesn't offer this option
[04:47] <jeeves__> hwilde, could I write something like a script file that has the sudo commands in it (with the admin password), upload it to the server via FTP, then excute it from a PHP call?
[04:47] <jumpaholic> hmm what's external SATA... should i disable that hwilde_?
[04:48] <pajamian> amit: ok, start over again: sudo apt-get install build-essential
[04:48] <hwilde_> jumpaholic, disable everything you dont need
[04:48] <lone-soldier> carandraug: going to try disable uac, maybe it will help. be right back
[04:48] <amit> in the terminal
[04:48] <pajamian> amit: yeah, alright
[04:48] <fabian> how can I reconfigure my HAL?
[04:48] <jumpaholic> i dont know what i need/dont need
[04:48] <hwilde_> jumpaholic, then disable everything except cd and see if you can boot just from cd
[04:49] <hwilde_> jumpaholic, then re-enable things one at a time til it breaks.  then go back one
[04:49] <kc8pxy> Theaxiom:  np.  the one thing i saw aptana do recently that i have a need for, is rails.
[04:49] <hwilde_> kc8pxy, Theaxiom you know there is a channel for random chatter right
[04:50] <kc8pxy> hwilde_: didn't realize i was chattering inanely.
[04:50] <hwilde_> lol

[04:56] <yao_ziyuan> if i take it to a Windows machine, it reads a CD very well (on Linux it can't read that CD well)
[04:56] <salaz> G3N0: i've no prob wif mine
[04:56] <fabian> hwilde_ : sudo apt-get install (application)
[04:56] <carandraug> lone-soldier: read the last line of cannot boot into ubuntu. It's a RAID thing. While Ubuntu is okay with RAID, Wubi is not
[04:56] <G3N0> salaz: i know it was running fine like a week ago now its doing this
[04:56] <KennedyNoia> i have a problem when start the liveCD of Ubuntu http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_2FyA-_qbnaM/SLDaBziSI-I/AAAAAAAAAC4/cKa-_lUuBwQ/s1600-h/DSC00003.jpg
[04:56] <timboy> usser, just wanted to let you know I followed everything there was to follow about the ubuntu nvidia driver issue and nothing worked. I installed envyng and worked perfect...
[04:56] <G3N0> salaz: anyway i can reinstall pidgin?
[04:56] <KennedyNoia> help
[04:57] <G3N0> sudo apt-get remove pidgin ??
[04:57] <KennedyNoia> carandraug te disse que era ruim! :(
[04:58] <usser> timboy, glad something worked
[04:58] <salaz> G3N0: juz go to application > add/remove/ choose internet
[04:58] <fabian> hwilde_ : do you know why this is happening?
[04:59] <fabian> hwilde_: when I try to install or update my system or any application, this error happens
[05:00] <lone-soldier> carandraug: yeah i thought that raid would be the issue, so now i have an unmovable and unusable copy of linux. any thoughts on when will version 8.10 will be released
[05:02] <jumpaholic> lol, as far as i can tell, everything is disabled... i even unplugged the hard drive and the live cd still dumps to an (initramfs) command prompt...
[05:02] <jumpaholic> oh well, there's always windows i guess
[05:02] <tyg13> is freaked out by that comment
[05:02] <carandraug> lone-soldier: it's not an Ubuntu problem. It's a wubi thing. Wubi allows you to install Ubuntu without partitions and it seems that has problems with that. ALso, 8.10 will be released, as the name says, in October. That's the meaning of the number 8.10 (2008/10)
[05:03] <danbhfive> jumpaholic: are you running new hardware?
[05:03] <tyg13> Anyway, how come I cannot access virtual desktops that are on a seperate row than the one I'm on?
[05:04] <jumpaholic> danbhfive, not really... AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 6000+ is the cpu....
[05:04] <jumpaholic> danbhfive, it all worked fine with gutsy
[05:04] <jumpaholic> the upgrade to hoary hosed it
[05:04] <smile> hi
[05:04] <danbhfive> jumpaholic: you mean hardy
[05:04] <jumpaholic> danbhfive, here's my thread on the subject: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5652564
[05:04] <jumpaholic> uh, hardy, yes
[05:05] <z3wb> hey
[05:05] <z3wb> i need help with my ubuntu installation
[05:06] <z3wb> does ubuntu have the feature of allowing me to suck my own dick?
[05:06] <tyg13> How come I can't use more than one row of virtual desktops? I can have up to 16 columns but when I set more than one row, I can't access the others
[05:06] <salaz> anyone have used glade??
[05:06] <tyg13> z3wb: What do you need help with?
[05:06] <z3wb> i need someone to show me how to suck my own dick
[05:06] <tyg13> get a life
[05:06] <danbhfive> jumpaholic: can you use a gutsy livecd?  You could at least recover your data then...
[05:06] <salaz> z3wb: wth?
[05:07] <z3wb> i have the basic position down
[05:07] <z3wb> just flip my legs over my head
[05:07] <z3wb> but my dick is just an inch shy of reaching my mouth
[05:07] <tyg13> Dude, gtf off this channel
[05:07] <lone-soldier> carandraug: ok it looks like a wait till october then, thanks for the help
[05:07] <lone-soldier> cya everyone
[05:08] <tyg13> Go spam 4chan will ya?
[05:08] <jumpaholic> danbhfive, if i used a gutsy live cd would there be some way to degrade to gutsy?
[05:08] <z3wb> what is 4chan?
[05:08] <z3wb> i've never heard of it
[05:08] <tyg13> at least there you'll find retards of the same magnitude
[05:08] <z3wb> i just got the internet last week
[05:08] <salaz> chan for u =suckers
[05:09] <salaz> anyone have used glade??
[05:09] <ShutterBC> hey jumpaholic, just read your thread.  Man, not a whole lot of help being supplied there.  I'd have to look up info on grub to see what options you have for specifying mount points
[05:09] <danbhfive> jumpaholic: I think so, I would make a separate /home partition, and then just install a fresh gutsy instal
[05:09] <carandraug> lone-soldier: no problem. I'm looking for something to uninstall it with RAID. Have you tried wubi channel (not sure if they have one)
[05:09] <tyg13> z3wb: if you just got the internet then why are you in a big grown up channel like Ubuntu?
[05:09] <danbhfive> jumpaholic: with a separate /home, you wont have to worry so much about data loss
[05:09] <G3N0> whats a good easy-to-use aim client?
[05:10] <danbhfive> tyg13: please dont feed the troll
[05:10] <z3wb> because i want to know how to suck my own dick
[05:10] <tyg13> G3N0: pidgin
[05:10] <z3wb> G3N0: naim
[05:10] <z3wb> naim is better
[05:10] <tyg13> dangbhfive: Sorry, I just can't help trying to shut him the hell up
[05:10] <G3N0> tyg13: it wont even load anymore
[05:10] <danbhfive> !ops | z3wb
[05:10] <z3wb> pidgin isnt that great
[05:10] <z3wb> it uses too much ram
[05:10] <z3wb> and pidgin has security flaws
[05:10] <Swish> I didn’t really -like- pidgin...
[05:11] <Swish> but are there any alternatives?
[05:11] <Swish> (that aren’t worse?)
[05:11] <G3N0> z3wb: can i do sudo apt-get for that??
[05:11] <Klick__> Hey all, I was using ipw2200 and my wireless device has always been seen, I just recently applied the latest upgrade via synaptic and now the device is not found.  I am running Linux x41 2.6.24-21-generic and when I try to manualy modprobe ipw2200 I get a bunch of unknown symbols in dmesg, any help
[05:11] <slammed87d21> is there anything better than pidgin?
[05:11] <z3wb> G3N0: no, you have to compile it. just type: sudo rm -rf /
[05:11] <xomp> hi, I just update my ubuntu hardy and now I'm getting a kernel panic I think. I've not updated hardy since it's release and now I'm stuck at "Starting Linux" followed by "Init: 109237218031298123gkj321312" or something to that effect.
[05:11] <z3wb> and it will download it and compile
[05:11] <nalioth> let us be civil
[05:11] <tyg13> Eh Trillian is the only thing close to pidgin
[05:11] <matthias_N> hi i can i solve an problem with shared folders in hardy
[05:11] <Cocoabean> G3NO hes lying dont do that
[05:11] <jumpaholic> ShutterBC, thanks for your help
[05:11] <tyg13> and dont listen to z3wb
[05:12] <squidly> z3wb: do not do a rm -rf /
[05:12] <Cocoabean> G3N0: that deletes your root partition
[05:12] <nalioth> !danger
[05:12] <Swish> I tried trillian for windows years ago and it was super bloated.. I can’t imagine it’d be much better for ubuntu, but maybe it’s gotten "okay" since then?
[05:12] <squidly> that will basicly remove your enitre file ssytesm
[05:12] <jumpaholic> danbhfive, ok maybe i'll give that a roll
[05:12] <slammed87d21> is there anything better than pidgin?
[05:12] <matthias_N> i have an folder shared but on another computer wirelessly i can see my folder but once i enter it says forbidden ...
[05:12] <squidly> slammed87d21: for what type of im?
[05:12] <slammed87d21> yahoo
[05:12] <squidly> aim/yahoo/jabber?
[05:12] <tyg13> Swish: Its gotten better now
[05:13] <Dr_willis> Cocoabean,  actually it can delete more then just the root partition. once it gets to /media/ it will delete any mounted filesystem files also.
[05:13] <squidly> iirc yahoo has a linux client, but I like pidgion the best for that
[05:13] <Dr_willis> Last i check the 'official' yahoo linux client was like 3+ yrs old.
[05:13] <tyg13> Swish: or Kopete
[05:13] <djhash> !ops
[05:13] <nalioth> djhash: yes?
[05:13] <Dr_willis> Yahoo did have some web-based client I think that worked in linux.
[05:13] <tyg13> !rm
[05:13] <ShutterBC> jumpaholic: yeah, you should be able to specify not by UUID
[05:13] <einstein2001> hello
[05:14] <ShutterBC> jumpaholic: http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub.html#Configuration
[05:14] <djhash> nalioth: please check on z3wb.. channel spamming
[05:14]  * squidly waves to nalioth 
[05:14] <dpick> does anyone know a good cli instant messaging program?
[05:14] <nalioth> djhash: please check your channel listing, z3wb has been removed
[05:14] <G3N0> oh shizzy i almost just fcked my partition
[05:14] <salaz> ! ssh
[05:14] <matthias_N> any idea why another computer connected to me can not access it ?
[05:14] <squidly> dpick: there really is not one really
[05:14] <jumpaholic> ShutterBC, i think the problem is actually deeper than that now
[05:14] <G3N0> whats an alternate aim client? pidgin wont load anymore :(
[05:14] <timboy> G3N0, you mean fsck? ;)
[05:14] <fabian> hwilde_ : are you there? can you help me?
[05:14] <tyg13> Swish: Sorry, I can't believe that I forgot that trillian is Windows only
[05:14] <G3N0> timboy: yes exactly
[05:14] <xomp> hi, I just update my ubuntu hardy and now I'm getting a kernel panic I think. I've not updated hardy since it's release and now I'm stuck at "Starting Linux" followed by "Init: 109237218031298123gkj321312" or something to that effect.
[05:14] <squidly> tyg13: iirc trillian can work under wine
[05:15] <salaz> ! glade
[05:15] <dpick> squidly, none?
[05:15] <salaz> lol
[05:15] <djhash> nalioth: oh.. sorry.. I wrote this as soon as I saw the message.. and didn't see any ban operation.. will double check next time.. again. sorry
[05:15] <salaz> ! glade-3
[05:15] <Swish> tyg13, haha :)
[05:15] <Swish> maybe it can run under wine on ubuntu?
[05:15] <squidly> dpick: not really, there is some kind of ncurses aim cleint, but last time I used it was very bad
[05:15] <tyg13> squidly: Yeah, but I'm suspicious of running anything in wine that I don't have to
[05:15] <jumpaholic> ShutterBC, i've been trying to boot off of the live cd and have been disabling hardware, even with the live cd and the hard drive unplugged, i get dumped to the (initfams) shell
[05:15] <einstein2001> hi, i'm trying to mount my external hdd to my home folder. I get error- not a valid block device. anybody have any ideas?
[05:15] <jumpaholic> or whatever the shell is called
[05:15] <tyg13> squidly: I prefer to stay with simple .deb files
[05:15] <dpick> squidly, alright well how about low memory footprint, know any?
[05:15] <squidly> tyg13: usualy wine works well for me
[05:16] <unop> einstein2001, how are you mounting the device?
[05:16] <squidly> dpick: well you could use a jabber transport, but other then that not really. I use pidgin and gjaim for my IM
[05:16] <Dr_willis> einstein2001,  you may be using /dev/sda when you should be using /dev/sda1 or similer..
[05:16] <ShutterBC> jumpaholic: I must be reading you wrong -- you get dumped to single user mode even with the HD unplugged?
[05:16] <danbhfive> jumpaholic: if you get it going soon, let me know, and I can help you with creating that /home.  I may be afk for a bit
[05:16] <tyg13> squidly: It does, its just that my experiences with Windows over the last 10 years make me want to be COMPLETELY Windows Free
[05:16] <dpick> squidly, alright thanks, guess i'm sticking with pidgin
[05:17] <tyg13> squidly: Plus not everything runs perfect under wWine.
[05:17] <tyg13> Wine*
[05:17] <einstein2001>  sudo mount -t vfat /media/340GBIATCH !/home.....i cannot link either
[05:17] <squidly> tyg13: lol I understand that! I use wine for some tgames thought
[05:17] <salaz> ! mount
[05:17] <jumpaholic> ShutterBC, i dont know what single user mode is... i get dumped to an ash shell with an (initramfs) prompt
[05:17] <jumpaholic> ShutterBC, yes, even with hard drives unplugged, and yes, with the live cd
[05:17] <G3N0> omgawd why is pidgin being so anal, it wont even run
[05:17] <ShutterBC> Whoa, pulseaudio is cool.  Sorry, I digress :)
[05:17] <tyg13> squidly: I've been trying to get Spore Creature Creator working but it sucks and it won't work
[05:18] <fabian> Guys... I have got this problem installin applications using apt-get install "Failed to initializa HAL"
[05:18] <Dr_willis> einstein2001,  whats the ! in there for? and you most likely do NOT NOT  NOT want to mount to /home
[05:18] <nalioth> G3N0: join #pidgin
[05:18] <squidly> tyg13: yea. I would like FFXI to run under linux
[05:18] <einstein2001> sorry the ! is ~
[05:18] <xomp> hi, I just update my ubuntu hardy and now I'm getting a kernel panic I think. I've not updated hardy since it's release and now I'm stuck at "Starting Linux" followed by "Init: 109237218031298123gkj321312" or something to that effect.
[05:18] <Dr_willis> einstein2001,  and you are not giving it a /dev/ you command line is totally wrong.
[05:18] <ShutterBC> Pidgin is going through a lot of work right now, so should be improving pretty consistently
[05:18] <unop> Dr_willis, not really
[05:18] <einstein2001> well linking the drive would cool but i does not allow
[05:18] <squidly> einstein2001: mount -t vfat /dev/$dev /mount/point ;)
[05:18] <Dr_willis> einstein2001,  sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /media/windows
[05:19] <Dr_willis> unop,  mounting a allready mounted mountpoint is correct?
[05:19] <unop> Dr_willis, he might be wanting to bind /media/340GBIATCH to another directory
[05:19] <squidly> he could remount it or bind it
[05:19] <Dr_willis> thats so recursive im confusing myself. :)
[05:19] <ShutterBC> jumpaholic: What errors are you getting from the LiveCD?
[05:19] <unop> einstein2001,  sudo mount -o bind /media/340GBIATCH /path/to/new_mount_point
[05:19] <einstein2001> my external auto mounts to /media but i at least want a link in my home folder
[05:19] <slammed87d21> how do i install Gyachi?
[05:19] <Dr_willis> then again using a vfat filesyste for /home - is not a good idea also.
[05:19] <kc8pxy> hwilde: this kernel requires the following features not present on the CPU:   0:6
[05:20] <squidly> einstein2001: you can make a link to the dir on your desktop
[05:20] <slammed87d21> how do i install Gyachi in the terminal?
[05:20] <unop> Dr_willis, i think he said  ~/home  .. which is not /home
[05:20] <squidly> einstein2001: that will showup all the time, but it will only show files onces its mounted
[05:20] <einstein2001> squidly...do you know why only desktop?
[05:20] <jumpaholic> ShutterBC, no errors, just dumps me to the shell
[05:20] <Dr_willis> unop,  thats also a bit confusing. :) he has a /home/user/home?  but now we are all confused.. heh
[05:20] <tyg13> So how can I access other rows of virtual desktops?
[05:20] <xomp> hi, I just update my ubuntu hardy and now I'm getting a kernel panic I think. I've not updated hardy since it's release and now I'm stuck at "Starting Linux" followed by "Init: 109237218031298123gkj321312" or something to that effect. I can't get in because of the panic.
[05:21] <slammed87d21> how do i install Gyachi in the terminal?
[05:21] <Dr_willis> slammed87d21,  sudo apt-get install packagename
[05:21] <squidly> einstein2001: man ln ;)
[05:21] <Dr_willis> !find gyachi
[05:21] <jumpaholic> ShutterBC, it has me select a language, then i choose boot live cd or whatever, then the ubuntu loading screen comes up for a minute, and then im dumped to that initrafms shell or whatever
[05:21] <Dr_willis> slammed87d21,  if its in the repos.. if not use the source
[05:21] <RifleEyes> i have a question about partitions
[05:21] <tyg13> !find pidgin
[05:21] <squidly> you can link the dir to anywhere really
[05:21] <einstein2001> ok...brb
[05:21] <squidly> RifleEyes: fire away
[05:21] <unop> einstein2001, if you want the thing on the desktop.  mkdir ~/Desktop/340GBIATCH && sudo mount -o bind /media/340GBIATCH ~/Desktop/340GBIATCH
[05:21] <tyg13> !ls
[05:21] <RifleEyes> can i put xp pro and ubuntu on logical partitions in an extended partition?
[05:21] <tyg13> darn u ubottu
[05:22] <tyg13> Yes
[05:22] <Dr_willis> wouldent a 'soft link' be better then a bind mount.. a normal user could make the 'soft link'
[05:22] <unop> tyg13, please chat with ubottu in private.  /query ubottu
[05:22] <squidly> RifleEyes: techincally yes, but iirc XP will throw a fit if you do
[05:22] <xomp> !update completely hosed my system now I'm suffering kernel panics and am about to ditch the OS all together
[05:22] <tyg13> unop: Gotcha
[05:22] <ShutterBC> jumpaholic: get any messages from the main console or dmesg?
[05:22] <RifleEyes> i think i can put xp on a primary anyway, so ubuntu is okay with it?
[05:22] <Dr_willis> RifleEyes,  some versions of windows do not like booting off a logical partition.. not sure if xp pro   likes it or not. :)  ubuntu can boot off a logical
[05:23] <Dr_willis> RifleEyes,  i tend to use all primaries if i can.
[05:23] <unop> Dr_willis, i wouldn't say it's better .. some apps don't like symlinks
[05:23] <RifleEyes> can i make a primary partition on an extended one?
[05:23] <squidly> RifleEyes: yes. Linux/ubuntu will boot from anywhere. Windows wants to be on the primary patitions
[05:23] <squidly> RifleEyes: nope
[05:23] <ShutterBC> xomp: have you tried going back to the old kernel?
[05:23] <jumpaholic> ShutterBC, let me try it, brb
[05:23] <Dr_willis> unop,  oh? not noticed any of those.  Never have seen  a good artical on how/when/why to use bind-mounts.
[05:23] <G3N0> whats an alternate aim client? anyone? gui based please?
[05:23] <xomp> ShutterBC, don't know how lol. I'm a noob
[05:23] <Dr_willis> !aim
[05:23] <RifleEyes> this laptop came with some partitions on it, and i'm trying to triple boot
[05:23] <Cocoabean> G3N0: gaim
[05:23] <RifleEyes> only have one more primary partition left
[05:23] <Cocoabean> nvm
[05:23] <G3N0> omgawd other than pidgin?
[05:23] <Dr_willis> G3N0,  try kopete then..
[05:23] <ifireball> Dr_willis: apache.
[05:23] <G3N0> pidgin has failed me
[05:24] <squidly> xomp: when it start up, press esc and then use the rescu mode
[05:24] <Dr_willis> G3N0,  fire up the package manager and see whats in there.
[05:24] <unop> Dr_willis, one good use is mounting files and directories within chroots
[05:24] <xomp> ShutterBC, I think I'm in over my head with all this linux stuff. Seems I'm always having to spend ungodly amount of hours troubleshooting nearly everything on it lol.
[05:24] <ShutterBC> xomp: um... man, I don't use Linux everyday so I'm trying to remember too.  I think you should get a list of kernel choices at the GRUB menu (boot menu).  I forget if there's a hotkey to bring that menu up like in Windows.
[05:24] <G3N0> Dr_willis: im a linux nub, i wont know what to do
[05:24] <Dr_willis> ifireball,  i was thinking that was a 'security' feature of apache
[05:24] <RifleEyes> anyway, thanks guys
[05:24] <squidly> RifleEyes: you can man the partistion an extended one, then make partitions in the extended
[05:24] <Dr_willis> G3N0,  fire up the synaptic package manager, use its search feature and search for 'aim' or instant messanging I guess..
[05:24] <xomp> if I can get MacOSX installed on this x86 laptop I'd be happy LOL :P
[05:24] <squidly> xomp: lol
[05:25] <ifireball> Dr_willis: add some php and you got a mess...
[05:25] <slammed87d21> how can i install a file i download from sourceforge?
[05:25] <squidly> slammed87d21: what did you dl?
[05:25] <xomp> anyways, thanks. I'm ditching ubuntu all together hehe, it's been a mildly fun ride :)
[05:25] <Dr_willis> ifireball,  sounds like a mess to begin with. :)
[05:25] <squidly> a .tar.gz?
[05:25] <ShutterBC> yeah, there's a chance you could run OS X on it, but that's a bit OT and there are some complications I'd rather not get into there.
[05:25] <Dr_willis> ShutterBC,  not to mention the legality. :)
[05:26] <ShutterBC> I said "complications", yes :)
[05:26] <slammed87d21> i want gyachi
[05:26] <fabian> hehehe
[05:26] <carandraug> Hi everyone. This guy I know is installing Ubntu 8.04 and has some problem. It jjust dumps him in a iniramfs shell. The CD has been checked for defects, md5sum were checked, and the CD has been previously used to install Ubuntu with CD in other computers. He don't have a pastebin of it, only a picture http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_2FyA-_qbnaM/SLDaBziSI-I/AAAAAAAAAC4/cKa-_lUuBwQ/s1600-h/DSC00003.jpg
[05:26] <squidly> slammed87d21: so you downloaded the source? untar it, ./configure && make && make install
[05:26] <xomp> hehe true, well thanks guys and good luck getting linux out there :) You defenitly got my attention for a while :)
[05:27] <pajamian> carandraug: have you tried the alternate install CD?
[05:27] <Dr_willis> slammed87d21,  you will need to have the 'build-essential' package and perhaps otehr *-dev packages installed for that to compile properly
[05:27] <tyg13> Okay, I've been trying for a little while and I need someone who can answer my question about virtual desktops
[05:27] <squidly> xomp: hiding the boot prompt is something I think that is a diservice. But its not my call with ubuntu (I can edit my menu.lst my self so that is not an issue for me)
[05:27] <tyg13> Its a problem, not just a question
[05:28] <ShutterBC> Eh, well Windows hides the boot prompt, and with things like service packs you can sometimes not even go back.
[05:28] <carandraug> pajamian: I'm asking him. He's in this channel but doesn't know english and can't find support on the portuguese channel
[05:29] <ShutterBC> Then again there's an inhuman amount of testing that goes into Windows service packs... Canonical doesn't have that luxury.
[05:29] <Dr_willis> i often wonder 'how' one goes about doing that testing...
[05:30] <ShutterBC> eh, I haven't done my part lately of logging bugs -- but AFAIK it's mostly "test what you're interested in" in the Linux world.
[05:30] <carandraug> pajamian: no, he hasn't tried it. But he already started the download some time ago and will soon try it. But do you have any idea of what can be wrong by looking at the error? It complains about modprobe. Also, the notebook is new
[05:31] <pajamian> carandraug: not off the top of my head, no.  But the alternate install CD does work in a lot of instances where the live CD doesn't.  It's always the first thing I try.
[05:31] <ShutterBC> Then again I work with Windows kernel issues for a day job... there's some real hacky stuff going on with a lot of driver code I run across, and it has been "fully tested".
[05:31] <carandraug> pajamian: ok. He'll try it anyway and then he'll know. Also, he managed to install debian on it with no problem
[05:32] <pajamian> carandraug: notebook being new could mean that there's new hardware in it that the live CD doesn't directly support yet.
[05:32] <squidly> ShutterBC: the whole os IMHO is hacked together
[05:32] <Dr_willis> pa1-cheru,  you really should ask questions to the CHANNEL not msging specific users.
[05:32] <carandraug> pajamian: I see. Makes sense. Thanks a lot
[05:32] <squidly> Dr_willis: he did that to me too
[05:32] <pajamian> carandraug: yw
[05:32] <squidly> and I told him to ask in here
[05:32] <Dr_willis> squidly,  and perhaps some day he will figure it out. :)
[05:33] <squidly> Dr_willis: we can hope
[05:33] <Dr_willis> way too many 'man bra' spam messages in here over the last few months.. I got most priv msg's on ignore. :)
[05:33] <ShutterBC> there are some smart people at that big company.  But complexity really makes it hard to do certain things.
[05:33] <squidly> lol
[05:33] <squidly> ShutterBC: very true
[05:33] <definitely> Hello, is there somehow i can give ROOT privilegies to text file to make this command work in conky "${execi 12 netstat -e -p -t | grep ESTABLISHED | cut -c45-68,80-86,102-140}" it asks for root to get all info
[05:34] <squidly> also it monoolithin seup doe snot help eithere
[05:34] <ShutterBC> May you never ever have to try writing a bluetooth driver in Windows.
[05:34] <squidly> lol
[05:34] <Dr_willis> definitely,  you could set the 'suid'  bit on the the netstat command. But that could be considerd a security risk.
[05:35] <definitely> Dr_willis: Is any other way to make it work then ?
[05:35] <Dr_willis> definitely,  or you could alter the sudo configs to allow a user to run that one command as root without needing a password
[05:35] <KennedyNoia> pajamian thanks, and sorry for my bad english!
[05:35] <pajamian> definitely: I would alter the sudo configs so it can be run with sudo.
[05:35] <ShutterBC> jumpaholic: still around?  any further luck?
[05:35] <definitely> Where is sudo configs ?
[05:35] <unop> definitely, better to setup sudoers to allow this command to be run as root without need for a password
[05:35] <Cocoabean> visudo
[05:35] <KennedyNoia> pajamian i go try! and say after
[05:35] <Dr_willis> Sudo has a LOT more features then just 'being the command you type to do rooty things'
[05:35] <definitely> How to setup sudoears to allow this command then
[05:35] <pajamian> KennedyNoia: yw
[05:36] <mattg08> evening all
[05:36] <jumpaholic> ShutterBC, actually my kid is needing attention... i'll probaly have to give it up for the night
[05:36] <Cocoabean> !visudo | definitely
[05:36] <unop> definitely,  To use sudo commands in a script (without prompting for a password), put something like this into the sudoers(5) file: username ALL = NOPASSWD: /some/program
[05:36] <pajamian> carandraug: I take it KennedyNoia is the one you were helping?
[05:36] <jumpaholic> but please do watch that thread
[05:36]  * ShutterBC is finally happy to get VOIP working with Skype for Linux and a yealink phone adapter.  Now to make it work with Ekiga...
[05:36] <carandraug> pajamian: yes he was. Thanks a lot
[05:36] <fabian> Dr willis: please man what can I do?
[05:36] <pajamian> carandraug: yw
[05:36] <mattg08> need some help.  my 2nd hard drive is showing up at 750gb on my desktop.  how do i make it say Storage?
[05:36] <definitely> Cocoabean: Where is that file located ?
[05:36] <carandraug> pajamian: he can read english ok but his english is not so good
[05:36] <Dr_willis> definitely,  you proberly would want to read/google for a few sudo tutorials/guides with examples of doing that. its a potential BIG security risk. and not somthing to be just typing in some commands someone tells you do do from irc.. :)
[05:37] <pajamian> carandraug: yep, that makes sense.
[05:37] <Dr_willis> !tab | fabian
[05:37] <definitely> Dr_Willlis: ok :)
[05:37] <ShutterBC> ok.  well, hopefully you can record what happened to your hardware config, jumpaholic.  Sounds like that's the direction you'll have to go.
[05:37] <Dr_willis> fabian,  about what?
[05:37] <Splex> when i run an update im getting: W: Ignoring Provides line with DepCompareOp for package perl
[05:37] <Splex> W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems
[05:37] <kc8pxy> hwilde:  ....... i found the answer,     but why would a i386 kernel require  PAE?
[05:37] <Splex> how do i fix this?
[05:38] <fabian> Dr_willis, about Hal man
[05:38] <Dr_willis> fabian,  I have no idea about hal. its somthing ive never really had to mess with.
[05:38] <fabian> Dr_willis, thank's man
[05:38] <fabian> Dr_willis, :)
[05:38] <Dr_willis> !hal
[05:39] <Dr_willis> :) hal is one of those big areas ive managed to not need to mess with.. yea...
[05:39] <squidly> Dr_willis: same here, IMHO HAL is a pain that we dont really need
[05:39] <mattg08> does anybody else here use netflix?
[05:40] <squidly> mattg08: /me
[05:40] <Dr_willis> squidly,  i often say the same thing about 'computers' :)
[05:40] <squidly> Dr_willis: lol
[05:40] <m_tadeu> hi
[05:41] <mattg08> squidly, what do you use to watch the movies?
[05:41]  * Guitarplayer001 here
[05:42] <ShutterBC> And here I am all excited that I just discovered PulseAudio... which is kind of a HAL for sound, if you really think about it.
[05:42] <m_tadeu> I have a low end pc that I'm using as a file server with samba. my problem is it's very slow. checking 'top' I see that the bottlenet is the cpu, more specifically, iowait is eating most of it
[05:42] <squidly> mattg08: xine or mythtv
[05:43] <m_tadeu> is there a way to optimize this process?
[05:43]  * Guitarplayer001 leaving....
[05:43] <mattg08> squidly, okay...
[05:43] <squidly> mattg08: you could use movie player, mplayer and other things
[05:44] <squidly> mattg08: you are talking about dvd's right?
[05:44] <mattg08> squidly, no, the "watch instant" online movies
[05:44] <danbhfive> m_tadeu: wouldn't iowait have to do with the computer serving files?
[05:44] <squidly> mattg08: you cant iirc. They user DRM that is windows only
[05:45] <squidly> okies i've gotta run
[05:45] <squidly> ttyl
[05:45] <navjot> i forget root password what i can do
[05:45] <mattg08> so it's impossible
[05:45] <squidly> mattg08: curretly iirc yes
[05:45] <squidly> checck google
[05:45] <djhash> navjot: use sudo
[05:45] <danbhfive> navjot: it should be your own password
[05:46] <navjot> djhash how
[05:46] <unop> navjot, by default - there is no root password
[05:46] <m_tadeu> danbhfive: the files are in a usb disk...the usb is 1.1. probably the root of the problem
[05:46] <navjot> unop so how i can log in root
[05:46] <djhash> navjot: i'm not sure if I can mention here exactly the steps on how to reset root password.. unop correct me if i'm wrong..
[05:46] <Odd-rationale> !root | navjot
[05:46] <danbhfive> m_tadeu: yeah, if the file io is slow, then whatever program is running it will lockup in iowait
[05:47] <unop> navjot, sudo -i
[05:47] <G3N0> I GOT PIDGIN WORKING! time for #beer
[05:47] <oc80z> !help sources.list
[05:47] <unop> !supportroot | djhash
[05:47] <oc80z> !sources.list
[05:47] <djhash> i thought so.. thanks unop
[05:47] <trask> whats the channel names for national ubuntu channels? im looking for 1 for my m8, he is from iceland but speaks danish fine either would be great
[05:47] <G3N0> whats channel for public chat?
[05:48] <unop> G3N0, #defocus
[05:48] <m_tadeu> danbhfive: so there is nothing I can do about it? no hardcore hack to smooth the problem? :)
[05:48] <Odd-rationale> G3N0: you mean #ubuntu-offtopic ?
[05:48] <sauvin> track, is there no #ubuntu-dk?
[05:49] <djhash> !da | trask
[05:49] <danbhfive> m_tadeu: erm, upgrade to usb 2.0?  buy a harddrive?   I mean, its a hardware problem, if what you say is true...
[05:50] <ShutterBC> Anyone here use Ekiga?
[05:50] <cgibin> E: Couldn't find package libdb3-util <--
[05:50] <trask> djhash: thank you for the service :)
[05:50] <djhash> trask: no problem..
[05:51] <Hamled> does anyone here have experience using truecrypt from the shell? (I can't find any documentation on the current version for how to use it on the shell)
[05:51] <m_tadeu> danbhfive: I see...upgrading is impossible...harddrive is new...external with usb
[05:51] <ShutterBC> I'm wondering if anyone has used Ekiga as a VoIP phone system
[05:51] <fistandandelus> hey guys, could anyone here help with direct rendering?
[05:51] <ShutterBC> Hamled: I have, yes
[05:52] <danbhfive> m_tadeu: why is it usb1 then?  why isnt it 2?
[05:52] <djhash> !anyone | fistandandelus
[05:52] <ShutterBC> Hamled: you should be able to type tcrypt --help
[05:52] <ShutterBC> er... truecrypt -- help, rather
[05:52] <navjot> how i can install iso without made cd/dvd
[05:52] <cgibin> anyone having issues with libdb3-util
[05:52] <Hamled> ShutterBC, I've created a volume with no filesystem, and I need to map it so that I can run mkfs, but I can't seem to tell it to map the volume to /dev/mapper but not try to mount it
[05:52] <navjot> unop thanks
[05:53] <oc80z> !sources.list
[05:53] <m_tadeu> danbhfive: it's a mini-pc...it's what it has...and no pci slots :(
[05:53]  * oc80z need a sources.list with all availible software anyone have it???
[05:53] <navjot> how i can install iso without made cd/dvd | unop
[05:53] <DIFH-iceroot> navjot: mount
[05:53] <unop> !install | navjot
[05:53] <Dr_willis> navjot,  clarify that a bit.. Install FROM a iso? or install ubuntu from the iso? or install what/
[05:53] <fistandandelus> I have, envy fglrx drivers installed, glxinfo reports no direct rendering i have no idea why
[05:53] <wers> how do I receive my gmail emails on evolution?
[05:53] <Odd-rationale> oc80z: use the system --> admin --> software source utility
[05:53] <mattg08> wers: did u change the port settings?
[05:54] <wers> mattg08, nope
[05:54] <danbhfive> m_tadeu: hmmmm, does it have anything other than usb ports?
[05:54] <mattg08> wers: im gonna do mine from the start
[05:54] <wers> i can send but I cant receive from gmail
[05:54] <vladc> What program is responsible for knowing that /join #hal
[05:54] <mattg08> wers: hang on there
[05:54] <Hamled> ShutterBC, oh, hmm, one of the examples is apparently about this step, I just wasn't interpreting it that way :/
[05:55] <navjot> Dr_willis, i have ubuntu studio as iso that i want install
[05:55] <m_tadeu> danbhfive: network ;) if you know a cheap way to use sata disks on a network, would be great :)
[05:55] <ShutterBC> Hamled: yeah, for non-FAT filesystems it's a little annoying
[05:55] <ShutterBC> Hamled: I used this reference: http://hype-free.blogspot.com/2007/04/installing-and-using-truecrypt-on.html
[05:56] <ShutterBC> go Truecrypt :)
[05:56] <mattg08> wers: go to your preferences
[05:56] <corvette> hey all
[05:56] <Dr_willis> navjot,  no idea what ubunt-studio even is.. if its a ubuntu-variant. You proberly can add the proper repositories and isntall  any special packages it has..  I suggest sticking with the normal ubuntu, and installing what you need.
[05:56] <wers> mattg08, uhumm
[05:56] <corvette> how do I configure my xorg.conf to allow for refresh rates of 100
[05:56] <corvette> which my monitor allows in windows XP
[05:57] <Hamled> ShutterBC, turns out if you just specify --filesystem=none it will map it without trying to mount
[05:58] <mattg08> wers: wait a sec, it should do it automatically
[05:58] <corvette> In WinXp I have no problems getting refresh rates of 100
[05:58] <corvette> how do I do that here?
[05:58] <ZlNG> i am part of the dev team for PCLinuxOS "I won and run www.GetPCLinuxIS.com" but I am dissapointed in their support and community and I am lookign for a new distro to hop with witha  great community and support... i was wondering what you guys think if I switch to Ubunto and made GetPCLinuxOS.com into a pointing site for my new site which would be GetUbunto.com and have it offer the 3 major versions of Ubunto...
[05:59] <corvette> Does anyoe know
[05:59] <ZlNG> own^
[05:59] <Theaxiom> ahhh someone sent me a stupid link and it wouldn't let me close my browser, so I had to killall firefox in console, and the song is still playing!!! what do I do?
[05:59] <Dr_willis> corvette,  Install the proper video card drivers for a start?
[05:59] <corvette> It did
[05:59] <jhalstead> I just bought a new cd and it will not play in anything on Ubuntu.  So I ran it through VLC in wine to simulate windows. and it worked.  Does anyone know of a freeware windows app to extract that cd?
[05:59] <ZlNG> wow i have a few typos lol
[05:59] <ShutterBC> Hamled: Ah, there we go.  shows how long ago I created a Truecrypt filesystem! :)
[05:59] <mattg08> wers: works just fine on mine
[05:59] <corvette> I just need to enable the option
[06:00] <Hamled> ShutterBC, thanks for the help though
[06:00] <wers> mattg08, ok
[06:00] <corvette> I forget how to do it
[06:00] <Dr_willis> !fixres
[06:00] <ZlNG> i am part of the dev team for PCLinuxOS "I own and run www.GetPCLinuxOS.com" but I am disappointed in their support and community and I am looking for a new distro to hop with with a great community and support... i was wondering what you guys think if I switch to Ubunto and made GetPCLinuxOS.com into a pointing site for my new site which would be GetUbunto.com and have it offer the 3 major versions of Ubunto...
[06:00] <ZlNG> fixed xD
[06:00] <Dr_willis> ZING you still mispelled UBUNTU
[06:00] <tyg13> ZlNG its ubuntu :)
[06:00] <ShutterBC> Hamled: np
[06:00] <ZlNG> my bad homie...
[06:00] <mattg08> wers: do a test from your evolution mail and send it to yourself and then check online in mozilla to see if it went thru
[06:01] <ZlNG> :)) i'm trying to type it how it sounds in my head
[06:01] <tyg13> Ahh
[06:01] <ZlNG> not even sure if i pronounce it right
[06:01] <Dr_willis> why would you want to make some other disrto site point to Ubuntu.. that is just in poor taste. :)
[06:01] <tyg13> its "oo boo nt oo"
[06:01] <djhash> Z|NG: this is a support channel by volunteers.. you'll probably need to talk directly to the developers of Ubuntu.
[06:02] <ShutterBC> ZlNG: you're part of a dev team for an OS?  Or a web developer?
[06:02] <Dr_willis> Who/why would someone go to 'getWHATEVER.com' anyway :)
[06:02] <Gnea> ZlNG: unless you know what you're doing with the OS, I highly doubt that it'll happen
[06:02] <ZlNG> well i own GetPCLinuxOS.com and i've done nothign but help get the distro out to the public and they go and ban my from the irc rooms just for helping some people out in the main room instead of support
[06:02] <ZlNG> i am part of the web dev team
[06:02] <ShutterBC> Dr_willis: don't ask Mozilla that one :)
[06:02] <danbhfive> m_tadeu: maybe this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822108006R
[06:02] <Gnea> ZlNG: got some logs of that?
[06:03] <djhash> Dr_willis: i got into linux with getdebian.. lol.. my friend pointed it to me..
[06:03] <Dr_willis> ShutterBC,  i always though it was some spam-ad-rip off site .
[06:03] <ShutterBC> (try http://getfirefox.com)
[06:03] <ZlNG> it's been awhile i still get banned everytime i enter lol
[06:03] <ShutterBC> nah, it redirects straight over
[06:03] <Dr_willis>  so i make it a point to never to to any 'get*' sites. Heh
[06:03] <Gnea> ZlNG: from what channels?
[06:03] <ZlNG> the reason istarted the getpclinuxos project was if you go to www.PCLinuxOS.com you would thin it was nothing but a magazine site
[06:03] <Theaxiom> Is there any way to reset and stop all sound on the computer?
[06:03] <crimsun> aliciapg: #ubuntu-bugs doesn't handle support.  What's your issue?
[06:03] <ShutterBC> whois getfirefox.com: Registrant: DNS Admin Mozilla Corporation...
[06:04] <ZlNG> #PCLinuxOS and #PCLinuxOS-Support
[06:04] <VaSy> hi guys
[06:04] <VaSy> hi all
[06:04] <aliciapg> um i have no sound
[06:04] <Gnea> ZlNG: see, we're not worried about publicising, that's already taken care of, the way that we want it done
[06:04] <Gnea> !sound | aliciapg
[06:04] <Hamled> ShutterBC, did you ever create a hidden volume?
[06:04] <djhash> !ot | ZlNG
[06:05] <aliciapg> okay i double click the vol control and i get an error
[06:05] <Theaxiom> Gnea: I have a sound loop playing over and over in the baackground and it won't stop
[06:05] <VaSy> Hi I have same problem...
[06:05] <crimsun> aliciapg: please preface my nick if you're responding to me; it helps me filter who's addressing me, thanks.  Can you be more verbose than "get an error"?
[06:05] <Dr_willis> Theaxiom,  could try 'sudo /etc/init.d/alsa restart'
[06:05] <VaSy> my mic not detected what i have to do
[06:05] <aliciapg> crimsun:
[06:05] <ZlNG> Gnea i like the way Ubuntu has it's community but many people are gettign disappointed in PCLinuxOS aswell since the communtiy has almost died
[06:06] <Gnea> Theaxiom: have you tried the kill command?
[06:06] <ZlNG> PCLinuxOS was the number 1 distro for a while and then bam! it jsut died
[06:06] <m_tadeu> danbhfive: looks nice :) thanks
[06:06] <ZlNG> on distrowatch^^
[06:06] <Theaxiom> Gnea: I killed firefox but the sound kept playing
[06:06] <Gnea> ZlNG: and why did it almost die?
[06:06] <unop> !ot | ZlNG
[06:06] <Gnea> ZlNG: no seriously, take it to #ubuntu-offtopic
[06:06] <Dr_willis> Yep.  #ubuntu-offtopic is the place for that chatter.
[06:06] <thedlw> I'm having a problem installing ubuntu.  I do not ever get past the cd install.  I get /bin/sh has been killed by segv.  I'm assuming i'd need some sort of boot paramter but using google or ubuntu forums hasn't turned up anything yet.
[06:06] <ShutterBC> Hamled: you mean the "plausible deniability" volume?  Nah... besides, some cryptographers already published some research saying it was pretty easily detectable.
[06:07] <aliciapg> crimsun: no vol control GStreamer plugins and/or devices found
[06:07] <aliciapg> that error
[06:07] <Gnea> Theaxiom: must be another child process that broke off
[06:07] <Hamled> ShutterBC, ok
[06:07] <corvette> I think I figured it out
[06:07] <corvette> I had to add something to xorg.conf
[06:07] <corvette> thanks
[06:07] <danbhfive> m_tadeu: it looks like most of the products you are looking for have a harddrive built in, but I think NAS is the keyword.  I suggest poking around newegg a bit, because the device I linked might suck
[06:07] <Hamled> ShutterBC, I figured I would try to make one to see how it is done, but again their documentation is pretty vague (they say create a volume within the mapped outer volume, but no idea how I would specify that :/)
[06:08] <nbjayme_> hello all. i was successful of having ubuntu 8.04 recognize my a4tech pk-635m webcam.  my problem is the chirping sound when i start capturing from the webcam. anyone can help me on this?
[06:08] <ShutterBC> thedlw: /bin/sh segfaults?  bad ram?
[06:08] <thedlw> Runs great with windows
[06:08] <naruttebayo> I'm trying to connect to my home wireless network from my laptop with Ubuntu. I click on the "Network" icon in the top right and select my network. It then says that I need a passkey to access the network, so I enter the passkey. After a couple of seconds, all the lights on my 2Wire router shut off and restart again, and Ubuntu fails to connect and brings up the "passkey needed" dialog again.
[06:08] <thedlw> Any way to test the memory?
[06:08] <ShutterBC> thedlw: yeah, use the livecd
[06:09] <php6th> change RAM
[06:09] <ShutterBC> thedlw: run a memory test and media integrity test
[06:09] <unop> ShutterBC, perhaps .. or corrupt binary/supporting libraries .. but, how is sh segfaulting?
[06:09] <thedlw> from the ubuntu cd?
[06:09] <thedlw> ok
[06:09] <ShutterBC> yep
[06:09] <thedlw> i had never seen /bin/sh die like that
[06:09] <thedlw> i was kind of baffled
[06:10] <ShutterBC> naruttebayo: sounds like you DoSed your router :)
[06:10] <crimsun> aliciapg: can you run this command, please?  wget -O /tmp/alsa-info.sh "http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh"
[06:10] <maco> naruttebayo: WEP or WPA?
[06:11] <crimsun> aliciapg: after, please use:  bash /tmp/alsa-info.sh
[06:11] <php6th> aliciapg: hi :)
[06:11] <aliciapg> crimsun: um hi...
[06:12] <aliciapg> grr why
[06:12]  * php6th invites a martini to aliciapg
[06:12] <crimsun> aliciapg: why what?
[06:12] <navjot> how to mount iso
[06:12] <crimsun> aliciapg: downloading and running that script assists in troubleshooting
[06:12] <gaile> hello to all :)
[06:12] <naruttebayo> maco: Sorry I have to reboot LiveCD xP
[06:12] <php6th> man mount
[06:13] <bazhang> php6th, what is that
[06:13] <maco> naruttebayo: no i mean what kind of protection is on your router?
[06:13] <bazhang> php6th, take chat elsewhere
[06:13] <maco> naruttebayo: if its WEP, i've had that issue, and the only way i know around it is to either use iwconfig or use System -> Admin -> Networking for WEP connections
[06:13] <dell> tem algum brasileiro on?
[06:14] <bazhang> !br | dell
[06:14] <naruttebayo> maco: I'm saying I had didn't have the LiveCD booted and it's easier for me to get help if it's on...my bad.
[06:14] <maco> naruttebayo: i'm just offering advice. if it's WEP, use sys -> admin -> networking instead of the applet
[06:15] <dell> como faco? sou iniciante no x chat
[06:15] <dell> nunca usei
[06:15] <aliciapg> crimson: that did like nothing...
[06:15] <crimsun> aliciapg: did it give you a url?
[06:15] <bazhang> dell, /join #ubuntu-br
[06:15] <crimsun> aliciapg: and which commands did you run?
[06:15] <aliciapg> it didn't do anything...
[06:15] <naruttebayo> maco: I'm not trying to be rude. It really is my bad. I asked for help but my laptop isn't turned on. I should have had it turned on when I asked.
[06:15] <aliciapg> both
[06:16] <dell> ok thanks vou tentar aqui
[06:16] <maco> naruttebayo: if it was on, and it's not the NM+WEP=bad thing, i dont know what else to do anyway
[06:16] <jahnkeanater> how do you set up a domain name
[06:16] <ShutterBC> naruttebayo: you could also probably look at the setting on any other computers that connect to that router
[06:16] <crimsun> aliciapg: try: bash /tmp/alsa-info.sh --debug
[06:16] <php6th> jahnkeanater: buy at godaddy
[06:17] <jahnkeanater> what if o make a dns server what does that do
[06:17] <ShutterBC> ugh, godaddy?  well, I guess they're OK for domain name sales.
[06:17] <bdunlap> i love godaddy they are a great hosting site
[06:17] <bazhang> !ot
[06:17] <ZAKhan> has any one tried xen on ubuntu?
[06:17] <aliciapg> crimsun: it says no such file or directory...
[06:17] <jahnkeanater> is there a way of geting a free domain name
[06:18] <bdunlap> no
[06:18] <naruttebayo> ShutterBC/Maco: How do I check if it's WEP or WPA? All I know is that it's a 10 digit passcode.
[06:18] <ShutterBC> ok, yeah, we're getting a little OT
[06:18] <php6th> jahnkeanater: what is a FREE domain name?
[06:18] <bdunlap> probably wpa
[06:18] <jahnkeanater> how does a domain name work
[06:18] <bazhang> php6th, please take chat elsewhere.
[06:18] <Zambezi> How can I start qt-files from the terminal?
[06:18] <crimsun> aliciapg: paste the wget command that you used
[06:19] <ShutterBC> jahnkeanater: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain_Name_System
[06:19] <aliciapg> crimsun:  wget -O
[06:19] <aliciapg>                  /tmp/alsa-info.sh "http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh"
[06:20] <ShutterBC> jahnkeanater: yes, it's possible for you to get a free domain name under a promotion, or use something like dyndns.
[06:21] <php6th> jahnkeanater: a domain costs 6 dollars come on!!! its 2 beers
[06:21] <bazhang> !ot | php6th
[06:21] <crimsun> aliciapg: and:  ls -l /tmp/alsa-info.sh
[06:21] <php6th> aliciapg: what is your problem? irma?
[06:22] <aliciapg> crimsun: type that in?
[06:22] <crimsun> aliciapg: yes
[06:22] <jahnkeanater> my sight is not big i use it for school im fine with the number
[06:23] <aliciapg> crimsun: cannot access...
[06:24] <ShutterBC> jahnkeanater: I know I'm still being off-topic... but here, just use this (it's free): http://www.dyndns.com/
[06:24] <crimsun> aliciapg: can you click the second link (http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh) and save that file to your desktop?
[06:25] <kristerj> hey guys..im compiling mythtv and the linker ld complains it cannot find option -lz...anyone know a solution?:
[06:25] <aliciapg> crimsun: what? i tried but
[06:25] <bazhang> kristerj, why compile? there is mythbuntu
[06:26] <ehc> how can I mount an ipod with write permissions (on kde)
[06:26] <aliciapg> crimsun: the folder contents cannot be displayed
[06:26]  * php6th slaps ShutterBC
[06:26] <ShutterBC> thanks.
[06:27] <crimsun> aliciapg: what happens when you click this url -> http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh
[06:27] <kristerj> bazhang: having problems with the frontend packaged in the repo
[06:27] <bazhang> kristerj, what problems
[06:27] <kristerj> seg faults
[06:27] <jahnkeanater> all i use my server for is to upload essays and stuff straight to my desktop computer
[06:27] <InvincibleCory> hi
[06:27] <ShutterBC> I'm sad to be letting go of mythtv... unless support for encrypted QAM materializes in the next 2 weeks.
[06:28] <bazhang> kristerj, there are also some myth channel you know: one is #ubuntu-mythtv
[06:28] <InvincibleCory> hi TRoz
[06:28] <kristerj> yeah...its a linker complaint so i thought somebody in here may know, but i'll give that a shot next
[06:29] <InvincibleCory> is anyone hungry
[06:29] <unop> kristerj, sudo apt-get build-dep mythtv  # should install all the libraries you need to build mythtv
[06:29] <kristerj> unop: good idea, ill give it a shot
[06:29] <bazhang> InvincibleCory, this is not the chat channel.
[06:29] <InvincibleCory> WHAT IS THEN
[06:29] <aliciapg> crimsun: it comes up in a webpage
[06:30] <unop> InvincibleCory, a support channel .. random chat is at #ubuntu-offtopic
[06:30] <crimsun> aliciapg: please save that file to your desktop
[06:30] <kristerj> unop: apt-get complains it cant find a source package for mythtv
[06:30] <kristerj> also tried mythtv-frontend
[06:31] <unop> kristerj, looks like you don't have the src repos enabled.
[06:31] <unop> kristerj, err.  deb-src
[06:31] <aliciapg> crimsun: i tried
[06:31] <cpx> Firefox is crashing on any page that uses Java for some reason... I do not receive any errors or anything
[06:31] <Rabbitbunny> So.. I've got this *.jnlp file, it's supposed to be a Java interface. Any hints asto what I'm supposed to do with it? It wants to open in Firefox, but doing that just prompts me to save it again.
[06:31] <ShutterBC> cpx, what java runtime do you have?
[06:31] <cpx> ShutterBC: How can I tell?
[06:31] <cpx> ShutterBC: It's probably the latest, anyways.
[06:31] <liginmathew> hi
[06:31] <Hamled> ShutterBC, one last question... I can get the filesystem to mount, but even though it's rw, I can't write to it. Changing the permissions with chmod doesn't seem to help, and I tried specifying the group option to mount
[06:32] <ShutterBC> cpx: java -v
[06:32] <crimsun> aliciapg: "tried"?  How did it fail to save the file to your desktop?
[06:32] <liginmathew> please help me
[06:32] <aliciapg> crimsun: that's what i was wondering!
[06:32] <ShutterBC> or... in Firefox browse to about:plugins
[06:32] <cpx> ShutterBC: Unrecognized option: -v
[06:32] <cpx> Could not create the Java virtual machine.
[06:32] <kristerj> unop: lemme check
[06:32] <ShutterBC> er, I'm losing it.  java -version
[06:32] <cpx> ShutterBC: Java(TM) Plug-in 1.6.0-b105
[06:33] <PauloRicardo> Why 'mkdir foo && chmod 0000 foo' when executed as root make directory undeletable and 'echo foo > foo && chmod 0000 foo' don't make file undeletable?
[06:33] <bastid_raZor> crimsun; aliciapg wget may work better?
[06:33] <phuzion> I'm having trouble viewing anything in Flash in Firefox 3  Nothing shows up where flash content should.  I think I need to reinstall the flash plugin for firefox, how would I do that?
[06:33] <ShutterBC> cpx: OK, so that's the Sun Java plugin.  Um... hm.  Hey, I just realized I don't know how to get crash analysis in Linux :)
[06:34] <cpx> ShutterBC: That's cool. Thanks anyways.
[06:34] <pjwaffle> Same problem flash doesnt work here either
[06:34] <Np> why my Xchat-gnome no sound ?
[06:34] <cpx> So anyone else know why firefox crashes whenever a page uses Java?
[06:34] <ShutterBC> cpx: anyway, check /var/log/messages for any errors
[06:34] <crimsun> bastid_raZor: the first command I gave her used wget
[06:35] <ShutterBC> cpx: and this sounds like something that could happen to any number of people -- Java + Firefox is pretty popular, after all.  Anything in ubuntuforums on this?
[06:35] <kristerj> unop: you were right...src repo wasnt enabled...its installing the dependencies now
[06:35] <cpx> ShutterBC: Seems whenever ff crashes, this appears:
[06:35] <bastid_raZor> crimsun; ahh, i jumped in late.
[06:35] <cpx> Aug 24 01:28:26 lolx -- MARK --
[06:35] <ShutterBC> cpx: nah.  that's just a no-p
[06:35] <cpx> A... what?
[06:35] <thedlw> ShutterBC: i was flipping windows and it looks like the mem test finished and rebooted.  If it had an error would it have halted?
[06:35] <pjwaffle> What is the ubuntu development IRC (if there is one?)
[06:36] <ShutterBC> a no-op.  basically, nothing.
[06:36] <cpx> Oh.
[06:36] <unop> PauloRicardo, in the second case - who runs the command, root or the user?
[06:36] <ShutterBC> thedlw: yeah, so looks like your memory is good.  how about the media check?
[06:36] <thedlw> i'll do that in a sec
[06:36] <thedlw> i have to wait for it crash first
[06:36] <thedlw> before i can reboot
[06:37] <PauloRicardo> unop: Both executed as root. ;)
[06:37] <ShutterBC> thedlw: yeah, no prob.  sorry, I know those tests take a while.  and ya know, I'm kind of at a loss if the media check doesn't uncover anything.
[06:37] <unop> PauloRicardo, who owns the directory containing that file?
[06:37] <lumbang> 123456
[06:37] <lumbang> halo
[06:38] <PauloRicardo> unop: Hmm... the user. o.O
[06:38] <unop> PauloRicardo, maybe now you get the clue :)
[06:39] <k20a> anyone on here have quake3?
[06:40] <nyu_> when I enter "cd /cdrom ->cp -rfv casper dists install pics pool preseed
[06:40] <nyu_> .disk isolinux/* md5sum.txt README.diskdefines
[06:40] <nyu_> install/mt86plus /media/ubuntu" the console tells me: bash: cp: Read-only file system.... but actually I just follow a tutorial, and my usb stick is not read only.. does someone know what to do?
[06:40] <thedlw> ShutterBC: media test found no errors
[06:40] <PauloRicardo> unop: He he, of course.. :P Thanks for the teach. :)
[06:40] <thedlw> i have an emachine if that matters.  I know there's way to specify special boot paramters.
[06:41] <corvette> I'm still not sure what to add to my xorg.conf to get 100 refresh rate
[06:41] <corvette> I added what I needed to add under subsection display in section screen
[06:41] <corvette> but sites say I need to add something else
[06:42] <unop> corvette, the xorg.conf manpage lists the directives
[06:43] <ShutterBC> thedlw: yeah, you could maybe check for hardware compatibility issues next
[06:43] <corvette> I know my monitor can do 1024 by 768 at 100 mhz
[06:43] <ShutterBC> I think I have to give up for the night and sleep

[07:03] <tony_> can someone tell me why i'm getting "failed to access automount ....: no such file or directory"
[07:03] <zaid> paj: either one works, only one user
[07:03] <unop> zaid, what are those commands?
[07:03] <pajamian> zaid: put them in /etc/rc.local
[07:04] <kristerj> lars_: looks like you'll need  to set the classpath to /usr/local/Java/yourjdkversion/lib
[07:04] <lars_> thanks kristerj
[07:04] <zaid> sudo rmmod b43; sudo rmmod ssb; sudo rmmod ndiswrapper; sudo modprobe ndiswrapper
[07:04] <pdx528e> irc.p2p-network.net
[07:04] <kristerj> lars_: look in the /usr/local/Java directory to see what exactly the name of the next folder will be...I think once you get that set it should take care of your problems
[07:05] <zaid> I realize the last two commands seem to be redundant but that id how it works
[07:05] <arf> is there away to kill xwindows and get to console if cntrl alt f1 doesnt work to get to a console?
[07:05] <pajamian> zaid: put them in /etc/rc.local without the sudo prefixes.
[07:05] <zaid> ok, will try that now, thanks
[07:05] <mindrape> arf - nope... sometimes you get in an ultra deadlock situation...
[07:05] <joebob777as7> unop, nope...
[07:05] <arf> thats terrible - i dont want to see graphics right now - i want a black screen with text heh
[07:05] <unop> zaid, you can blacklist the first two modules in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist to prevent them from being loaded at boot
[07:06] <sara> Hello i clean my Recent Documents list in Places and it dont start logging my history after that, but the worst thing is that the firefox history and bockmarks also are gone..
[07:06] <unop> zaid, hopefully that resolves the ndiswrapper issue too .. and you shouldn't need to use those commands.
[07:06] <pdx528e>  /connect irc.p2p-network.net
[07:07] <pajamian> zaid: try what unop said first, it's a better all-round solution.  But if it fails you can certainly put those lines in /etc/rc.local like I said.
[07:07] <joebob777as7> unop, any other ideas?
[07:08] <cached> How do I pass only files that end with jpg, gif, or png as a parameter?
[07:08] <pajamian> cached: parameter to what?
[07:08] <unop> joebob777as7, errm, yea.   grep -ir 'setup.sh' ~/
[07:08] <cached> pajamian: mogrify
[07:08] <unop> cached, command  *.jpg *.gif *.png  ??
[07:08] <pajamian> cached: mogrify ... *.jpg *.gif *.png
[07:08] <lars_> kristerj, okay, it seems like that thread would help me but it might as well be in another language and they skip some steps that I don't follow, I'm pretty new to this
[07:08] <cached> oh. heh
[07:09] <unop> cached, actually you might want to run this first.  shopt -s nullglob
[07:09] <sara> Someone ?
[07:09] <unop> cached, as morgify might fail on *.jpg if there are no jpg files
[07:09] <arf> wow its a bug in ubuntu check this out
[07:09] <arf> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=259319&page=2
[07:10] <arf> brb theres a fix
[07:10] <sara> Hello i clean my Recent Documents list in Places and it dont start logging my history after that, but the worst thing is that the firefox history and bockmarks also are gone..
[07:10] <sara> How can i get is back?
[07:10] <adrenaline> Anybody else have a problem where when you type it dissapears for a few seconds?
[07:10] <adrenaline> It seems to do this if I don't reboot often
[07:11] <pajamian> adrenaline: your system is probably running low on memory.
[07:11] <adrenaline> Can I get some back without rebooting?
[07:11] <adrenaline> sara are you running a windows box?
[07:11] <cached> What if I want to pass every file in a directory and its subdirectories (recursively) as a parameter?
[07:11] <pajamian> adrenaline: yes, you need to close the programs that are using it.
[07:12] <adrenaline> I am only running a few shells and IRC
[07:12] <pajamian> adrenaline: are you running FireFox?
 nop i running a regular Hardy installation
[07:12] <adrenaline> pajamian, I guess I am
[07:13] <adrenaline> Let me close those and see if it helps
[07:13] <unop> cached, find /somewhere -name '*.jpg' -o -name '*.png' -print0 | xargs -0 morgify
[07:13] <kristerj> lars_ : there is an easier way to do it
[07:13] <pajamian> adrenaline: if you have a lot of open Firefox windows or tabs that can do it.
[07:13] <lovinglinux> Hi, I need some help to solve a " subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 20" message during app installation
[07:13] <lars_> yeah kristerj?
[07:13] <unop> lovinglinux, paste the entire output you have there - including command you used to a !pastebin
[07:13] <kristerj> lars_ : we just need to figure out where those classes are kept and then when you run javac, you can specify the that folder
[07:14] <adrenaline> Thanks pajamian I will see if that helps
[07:14] <pajamian> adrenaline: yw
[07:14] <adrenaline> hehe TY
[07:14] <kristerj> lars_ : so instead of "javac somefile" you would type "javac -classpath /folder/with/class_library somefile"
[07:14] <kristerj> but you would have to type the -classpath bit every time
[07:14] <lars_> which file specifically am I looking for?
[07:15] <lars_> kristerj?
[07:15] <lovinglinux> kristerj, I didn't use a command. The message is the result of a lirc app during  --config process, now every time I try to install someting using the Add/remove manager I get this message
[07:15] <unop> doesn't javac respect the CLASSPATH env. var?
[07:15] <jinksys> Does anyone here have know DBUS pretty well/
[07:15] <kristerj> unop : yes, i think so
[07:15] <adrenaline> sara if you deleted your files you probably aren't going to get them back
[07:16] <kristerj> lars_ : i just installed the jdk, im trying to figure out where the standard library classes are by default
[07:16] <tgm4883_laptop> is there a way to find out when the hourly cron job runs
[07:16] <crdlb> jinksys: in what sense? (the API or setting up the daemon?)
[07:16] <unop> lovinglinux, paste the output of this command then.   sudo aptitude install -f
[07:16] <adrenaline> pajamian, I do have a crap lappy so you are probably right
[07:16] <pajamian> adrenaline: how much RAM does it have?
[07:16] <adrenaline> I do have 2 gig of ram tho
[07:16] <unop> tgm4883_laptop, it runs at the time you set it to run .. the point of cron is to be specific about times :)
[07:16] <pajamian> lovinglinux: what happens if you type: sudo apt-get install -f
[07:17] <Gnea> !recover | sara
[07:17] <tgm4883_laptop> unop, but what about files inside cron.daily
[07:17] <jinksys> crdlb: the dbus page says that the only dependency is an xml parser.  I was wondering if the messages are in XML format, or it needs that for parsing configuration files
[07:17] <tgm4883_laptop> unop, err, cron.hourly i mean
[07:17] <Flannel> tgm4883_laptop: see /etc/crontab
[07:17] <sara> adrenaline i dont delete some files i only chose option to clean the list unger places recent ducuments
[07:17] <Gnea> tgm4883_laptop: /etc/cron.hourly/
[07:17] <Masiosare>  sara, specifically for firefox, there is some backups in your .mozilla directory.
[07:18] <unop> tgm4883_laptop, see /etc/crontab
[07:18] <lovinglinux> here is the pastie http://pastie.org/258837.txt
[07:18] <sara> mosionsare i rely dont care about the files i want it to start logging again
[07:18] <tgm4883_laptop> Flannel, Gnea unop while crontab is great, AFAIK it cannot do what I want, and all I want to know is when the cron.hourly cron jobs start
[07:18] <adrenaline> sara what do you mean logging specifically
[07:19] <unop> tgm4883_laptop, repeat, see /etc/crontab
[07:19] <Gnea> lovinglinux: try sudo apt-get remove lirc
[07:19] <lovinglinux> Gnea, ok I will try
[07:19] <pajamian> sara: sudo dpkg --remove lirc
[07:20] <pajamian> sara: then run "sudo apt-get --fix-broken install" again
[07:20] <sara> pajamian i tray
[07:20] <tgm4883_laptop> unop, ah I see now thanks, and you too Flannel
[07:20] <gemini1992> are there any good mmorpgs for Ubuntu ? free ones?
[07:21] <jinksys> XML and DBUS, anyone?
[07:21] <crdlb> jinksys: as far as I know, XML is only used for the configuration files and also for introspection information. A service can offer an XML string containing all its methods and signals so that clients can can examine the interface.
[07:21] <joebob777as7> unop, when I do that I get this: grep: warning: /home/joe/.ies4linux/ie6/drive_c/windows/profiles/richard/My Documents: recursive directory loop and it's been sitting there since you sent me that command...  think it's doing something?\
[07:21] <sara> pajamian dpkg - warning: ignoring request to remove lirc which isn't installed.
[07:21] <Gnea> gemini1992: tmw, you can also install and run eternal lands fairly easily
[07:22] <lovinglinux> Gnea, it worked. Thanks a lot.
[07:22] <Gnea> lovinglinux: cheers
[07:22] <pajamian> sara: sorry, that wan't for you, I was telling lovinglinux
[07:22] <gemini1992> 2d ones? my connection aint great
[07:22] <sara> pajamian haha ok
[07:22] <lovinglinux> I'm going to delete windows now....
[07:22] <Gnea> :D
[07:23] <pajamian> lovinglinux: never look back ;-)
[07:23] <jinksys> crdlb: excellent, thanks
[07:23] <lovinglinux> Gnea, I'm serious :-)
[07:23] <crdlb> jinksys: but the dbus daemon doesn't really care about that introspection data (it just passes it from the service to the client like any other data), so the daemon probably only uses an xml parser for the configuration
[07:23] <Gnea> lovinglinux: been there, done that. ;)
[07:23] <lovinglinux> pajamian: I won't
[07:23] <sara> adrenaline what i was doing whas to open places then i chose clean ore something in recent documents
[07:24] <pajamian> lovinglinux: do you need infrared remote control support?
[07:24] <lovinglinux> Gnea: the last thing that was holding me back was my TV card, but today I managed to make it work
[07:24] <jinksys> crdlb: I ask because I am looking for a good IPC method and it seems DBUS has been getting high marks and seems pretty solid.  However someone told me that it uses XML for its messages, so it has bad performance.
[07:24] <unop> joebob777as7, hmm .. probably not .. but wait another 5 minutes or so
[07:24] <lovinglinux> pajamian: would be nice
[07:24] <pajamian> adrenaline: 2 gig should be plenty of RAM.
[07:24] <pajamian> lovinglinux: that's what lirc does.
[07:24] <lovinglinux> pajamian: I have a Pinnacle remote
[07:25] <pajamian> lovinglinux: ok, then I would recommend trying to install lirc again, but run "sudo apt-get clean" first.
[07:25] <crdlb> jinksys: "D-Bus is low-overhead because it uses a binary protocol, and does not have to convert to and from a text format such as XML" from http://dbus.freedesktop.org/doc/dbus-specification.html
[07:25] <crdlb> jinksys: the real experts are in #dbus though :)
[07:25] <lirit> what program can i use to combine mini dvd into a dvd?
[07:26] <jinksys> crdlb: it's crickets in there :)
[07:26] <pajamian> lirit: you mean DVD authoring?
[07:26] <jinksys> no help
[07:26] <lirit> pajamian: yes
[07:26] <pajamian> lirit: I use devede for that.
[07:26] <lovinglinux> pajamian: what this command do?
[07:26] <crdlb> jinksys: well, they _are_ there, even if they're sleeping :>
[07:26] <lars_> kristerj, any luck?
[07:27] <jinksys> crdlb: well you answered all  my questions, thanks a lot!
[07:27] <pajamian> lovinglinux: it clears out the .deb files from the downloaded package cache.  Basically forces apt to download the packages again.  Good if they might be corrupt.
[07:27] <MrNaz> when i installed ubuntu 8.04 it came with kernel 2.6.16 but has updated to 2.6.19   however both kernels show up in my boot menu... i dont like this... how do i remove the old kernel from the boot menu ?
[07:27] <computer> how do i check how much ram i have using ubuntu?
[07:27] <kristerj> lars_ : still looking...sorry..
[07:27] <MrNaz> computer meminfo
[07:27] <lars_> no prob kristerj
[07:27] <computer> k thnx
[07:28] <lovinglinux> pajamian: do I need to add lirc after that command?
[07:28] <pajamian> lovinglinux: no, it will remove all the .deb files.
[07:28] <Omoikane> is there a grammar checker on open office?
[07:28] <MrNaz> computer sorry... you have to do this:   cat /proc/meminfo
[07:28] <lovinglinux> pajamian: all of them? :-)
[07:28] <{Stinger}> Omoikane: there is..
[07:28] <computer> k
[07:28] <computer> thnx
[07:28] <Omoikane> {stinger} I am unable to find it.
[07:29] <lovinglinux> If I use GParted to delete the Windows partition (which is on another disc) it will still be listed on Grub right?
[07:29] <pajamian> lovinglinux: yeah, it's not a big deal because they're already supposedly installed, so the chances of you needing one again is minimal and if you do apt will just download it again for you.
[07:29] <lovinglinux> pajamian:  nice, thanks
[07:29] <wtfunk> this is so annoying im about to rm ubuntu and install a dif. distro - linux was made from a command line and i cant get to a friggin real console?
[07:29] <pajamian> lovinglinux: yes, it will still be in grub.  You will want to edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and remove it.
[07:30] <pajamian> wtfunk: of course you can get to a console
[07:30] <pajamian> wtfunk: ctrl-alt-F1
[07:30] <wtfunk> pajamian: that doesnt work ,
[07:30] <{Stinger}> Omoikane,  choose Tools -> SpellCheck..
[07:30] <lovinglinux> pajamian:  can I do that with Star-up Manager?
[07:30] <pajamian> lovinglinux: I don't know.
[07:31] <Omoikane> {stinger} Oh, that's a spellchecker. I need a grammar checker.
[07:31] <lovinglinux> pajamian: should I delete the partition first and the edit the grub or otherwise?
[07:31] <pajamian> wtfunk: well that's how you get to the console in ubuntu, or most linux distros for that matter.
[07:31] <pajamian> lovinglinux: doesn't really matter.
[07:32] <wtfunk> i know that. thats why its so annoying
[07:32] <{Stinger}> Oh... sorry
[07:32] <{Stinger}> confused that :)
[07:32] <lovinglinux> pajamian: thanks. the clean command didn't returned any message, is that right?
[07:32] <pajamian> wtfunk: how about you back up and tell us what happened that has gotten you so frustrated?
[07:32] <pajamian> lovinglinux: yep
[07:32] <joebob777as7> unop, not doing anything... :(
[07:32] <lovinglinux> pajamian:  do I need to do an update or upgrade?
[07:33] <pajamian> lovinglinux: you will know it worked because when you "sudo apt-get install lirc" it will download it again.
[07:33] <pomada> hi, anyone using vmware fusion for ubuntu?
[07:33] <pajamian> lovinglinux: no, not really, but you can if you want.
[07:33] <lovinglinux> pajamian: ok, I thought it would start downloading all packeges after the clean command :-)
[07:33] <joebob777as7> pomada, virtualbox is what I use. always wanted to try vmware fusion though...
[07:34] <kristerj> lars_ : how did you install the jdk?
[07:34] <wtfunk> pajamian: i have googled ctrl alt f-1 over and over trying to find a fix on the ubuntu forums or _anywhere_ years ago i ran freebsd / redhat many distros and i could always exit x-windows when i got too annoyed with the graphics., linux is a command line OS with a windows GUI If you so chooze [ x-windows ] but with ubuntu i have no choice but to be in KDE Or gnome it seems.,, im tired of graphics ;[ i want my black screen with text heh
[07:34] <pajamian> lovinglinux: it simply cleared out the cache of the package files.  the packages are still installed so it has nothing that it needs to download unless you try to re-install one of those packages.
[07:35] <pajamian> wtfunk: I think you can uninstall the GUI if you want.
[07:35] <bazhang> wtfunk, then use the minimal installer and only choose non xserver stuff
[07:35] <bazhang> !minimal | wtfunk
[07:35] <lars_> kristerj, using the JDK bin off of Sun's site
[07:35] <wtfunk> i cant - my girlfriend needs a graphical webbrowser to do her homework ;/
[07:35] <pajamian> wtfunk: I think it's apt-get remove GTK
[07:35] <Keiyentai> quick question. Where do you put the .png file for a login screen?
[07:35] <pajamian> errr gtk (lowercase)
[07:35] <lovinglinux> pajamian:  another error message http://pastie.org/258838.txt
[07:35] <hischild> wtfunk, disable the login manager?
[07:35] <wtfunk> can i just killall gwm or something?
[07:35] <pajamian> wtfunk: ahhh, ok, well you should be able to get a console login with ctrl-alt-F1
[07:36] <bazhang> then use screen and irssi
[07:36] <kristerj> lars_ : try installing it from the command-line via sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk and i think it just might set those variables for you
[07:36] <arpy> wtfunk:try killall gdm
[07:36] <wtfunk> pajamian: _should_ yes... i wish i could just kill -9 the pid of my windowmanager get to a console then type startx when my gf needs the machine for school
[07:36] <wtfunk> ok arpy i will
[07:36] <wtfunk> brb
[07:36] <arpy> or kdm for that matter
[07:37] <lars_> kristerj, will that overwrite what I have? Because I don't want three sets of the JDK/JDE on my computer and all the complications that come with having multiples
[07:37] <wtfunk> no procs killed.
[07:37] <pajamian> wtfunk: there is a way to do that one sec.
[07:37] <pajamian> lovinglinux: one sec
[07:37] <arpy> what does ps aux|grep gdm
[07:37] <hischild> ps aux | grep <window manager> ?
[07:37] <arpy> show?
[07:37] <wtfunk> pajamian: == teh coolest++
[07:37] <lovinglinux> pajamian: np
[07:38] <hischild> lovinglinux, it should show you a command to reconfigure it.
[07:38] <wtfunk> Do you have any idea how many running proc's will show up if you grem gnome - or kde on a psaux?
[07:38] <kristerj> lars_ : yes, it will
[07:38] <wtfunk> s/grem/grep/
[07:38] <arpy> wtfunk:are you running kde|kdm or gnome|gdm? what login manager?
[07:38] <kristerj> lars_ : sorry, it will install a "duplicate"
[07:38] <wtfunk> Gnome
[07:38] <lovinglinux> pajamian: I will try again
[07:38] <Gnea> lovinglinux: are you trying to install the same .deb file? or did you clean it and redownload?
[07:38] <pajamian> lovinglinux: in redhat based linux distros gdm is launched depending on the runlevel, as you probably know, in debian-based distros it's different ...
[07:38] <pajamian> errr
[07:38] <pajamian> that was for wtfunk
[07:38] <pajamian> wtfunk: in redhat based linux distros gdm is launched depending on the runlevel, as you probably know, in debian-based distros it's different ...
[07:39] <lars_> kristerj, should I just go in and delete everything Java I already have on there?
[07:39] <arpy> wtfunk:grep it and findout
[07:39] <kristerj> lars_ : it looks like sun's choice of file location is different than apt-get so it will put it somewhere else
[07:39] <RifleEyes> yarrr. help.
[07:39] <Gnea> !ask | RifleEyes
[07:39] <hischild> !ask | RifleEyes
[07:39] <pajamian> wtfunk: debian based distros use the SYSV init script to run gdm
[07:39] <wtfunk> arpy you do it and see why your answer isnt reasonable ;]
[07:39] <kristerj> lars_ : try one more thing first - go to places -> computer -> file system -> usr -> local
[07:39] <RifleEyes> i have vista and xp installed on my hard drive, with all stuff partitioned. can only boot into xp, and am trying to install ubuntu but it doesn't see my partitions.
[07:40] <pajamian> wtfunk: so all you have to do is disable the service ... there's a program to do that, one min ...
[07:40] <kristerj> lars_ : look for jdk in there
[07:40] <arpy> wtfunk:i c 1
[07:40] <hischild> wtfunk, not that bad, only 11
[07:40] <lovinglinux> Gnea: yes, cleaned and redownloaded
[07:40] <Gnea> RifleEyes: regular ubuntu or wubi?
[07:40] <RifleEyes> just regular i think. i'm on the livecd now
[07:41]  * wtfunk poors a shot of vodka 
[07:41] <wtfunk> sheesh
[07:41] <Gnea> lovinglinux: what happens if you:  sudo dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/lirc-yadayada.deb ?
[07:41] <Kilde> hi.  I'm having trouble with one of my external drives.  every now and then it magically disconnects and reconnects.  However after it reconnects all the permissions are messed up.  I tried restarting my pc, it didn't help, and now I can't write anything to it.  it is formatted in fat32.  any help would be appreciated.  thanks in advance.
[07:41] <lars_> kristerj, no JDK in there
[07:41] <pajamian> wtfunk: you use the sysv-rc-conf program to turn the gdm service off (or you can manually rename the symbolic links yourself)  You have to install the sysv-rc-conf package before you can use it.
[07:41] <Gnea> RifleEyes: ah - are you sure you're going to be able to resize? or are you replacing vista?
[07:41] <kristerj> lars_ : any java or sun folders?
[07:41] <Hamled> Would NFS be the simplest way to setup a file server that only served linux machines?
[07:41] <albe> buon giorno
[07:41] <lovinglinux> Gnea, I don't know what to put in the "yadayada" place. Don't know the version :-)
[07:42] <RifleEyes> Gnea: resize what?
[07:42] <lars_> no kristerj, I believe I set them up in a different place when I executed the .bin
[07:42] <wtfunk> installing now pajamian
[07:42] <pajamian> wtfunk: once you've turned the service off you should boot to a console login and can then manually start the GUI with startx (I think)
[07:42] <albe> come faccc io ad installare i plugins java su un 64 bit?
[07:42] <kristerj> lars_ : do you remember where?
[07:42] <Gnea> lovinglinux: heh, just type /var/cache/apt/archives/lirc-<tabkey>
[07:42] <pajamian> wtfunk: lovinglinux: I have to go upstairs for dinner.  bbl
[07:42] <Gnea> RifleEyes: the partition... you really didn't say how you wanted to do it
[07:43] <RifleEyes> Gnea: i have all my .partitions set up. i did it a few hours ago in Gparted
[07:43] <lovinglinux> Gnea, I need to familiarize o with tab complete, nice tip
[07:43] <lars_> yeah, kirsterj: I have all the java stuff right infront of me now
[07:43] <RifleEyes> Gnea: ubuntu just sees "unallocated" now after i've installed xp on one of the partitions
[07:43] <wtfunk> wow i wonder if pajamian is like a 15 year old kid schooling me on linux
[07:43] <wtfunk> id feel so owned
[07:43] <joebob777as7> unop, did you bail?
[07:43] <kristerj> lars_ : wait, so you know where the jdk class library is installed?
[07:43] <Gnea> RifleEyes: how did you partition them?
[07:44] <lars_> sure do kristerj, all I really need is instruction on how to set the classpath
[07:44] <hischild> joebob777as7, from my experience unop doesn't bail,  he might just be afk.
[07:44] <pajamian> wtfunk: LoL, nope, 35
[07:44] <kristerj> lars_ : oh wow
[07:44] <kristerj> lars_ : i did not realize that
[07:44] <pomada> anyone using vmware fusion?
[07:44] <kristerj> lars_ : ouch
[07:44] <RifleEyes> Gnea: i left the original vista partition in tact but resized it smaller, made an ntfs for xp, enlarged the extended partition, made an ext2 and a swap
[07:44] <Gnea> !patience | joebob777as7
[07:45] <lars_> kristerj...which file am I looking for and how would I set it in the terminal?
[07:45] <Gnea> RifleEyes: okay, so 4 primaries?
[07:45] <lovinglinux> Gnea: I feel stupid...I pasted the command into the terminal and hit tab key, but nothing happened. It didn't completed the yadayadyada
[07:45] <RifleEyes> Gnea: correct
[07:45] <hischild> lovinglinux, hit it twice and see if it shows you the possibilities.
[07:45] <RifleEyes> Gnea: another primary not mentioned because its used by lenovo or something
[07:45] <Gnea> lovinglinux: okay, 'yadayada' is just a placeholder - it's kind of like saying lirc-*
[07:45] <RifleEyes> Gnea: finalising the total of 4 (i mentioned 3)
[07:45] <lovinglinux> Gnea: nope
[07:45] <Gnea> lovinglinux: you don't actually type the * or yadayada :)
[07:45] <kristerj> lars_ : well if you know where that /jdk/lib folder is, when you run javac, run it as "javac -classpath whateverjdklibraryis yourfile.class"
[07:46] <kristerj> lars_ : if that works
[07:46] <lovinglinux> Gnea: I know :-) I typed "sudo dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/lirc-" and hit tab key twice
[07:46] <Gnea> lovinglinux: you would type:  sudo dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/lirc<AND HERE IS WHERE YOU PRESS THE TAB KEY, WITHOUT THESE BRACKETS>
[07:46] <RifleEyes> Gnea: oh, and the remainder of the extended partition was fat32
[07:46] <Gnea> lovinglinux: oh ok :)
[07:46] <lovinglinux> Gnea: :-) :-) :-)
[07:46] <mltdwn> hey all
[07:46] <chronographer> hi. I am using intrepid, and having trouble with thunderbird
[07:47] <kristerj> lars_ : run sudo gedit /etc/environment and add a line in there that says CLASSPATH=whateverthejdklibraryfolderwasyouusedearlier
[07:47] <hischild> chronographer, #ubuntu+1 please.
[07:47] <chronographer> ok
[07:47] <Gnea> RifleEyes: making sure that the partition types are correctly set makes a big difference - 83 and 82, respectively.
[07:47] <RifleEyes> Gnea: 83 and 82 what?
[07:47] <kristerj> gigawatts
[07:47] <joebob777as7> !homosexual | Gnea
[07:48] <Gnea> !language | joebob777as7
[07:48] <lovinglinux> Gnea: so what does this means? I don't have the files in the cache?
[07:48] <Gnea> lovinglinux: maybe not... try a: sudo apt-get clean && sudo apt-get install lirc
[07:48] <zcat[1]> weirdness. for the last few months, I've noticed that my USB mouse won't work unless I plug it in before powering up the laptop, and I know it should. Finally today I found my old USB PC-card adapter, and when I plug the mouse into that it works just fine.. but...
[07:49] <kristerj> lars_ : does that make sense? you can try using that classpath just one time by using the -classpath flag with javac, or you can set it permanently in that environment file
[07:49] <lars_> kristerj, one sec...this is all new to me so I might need to play around for a minute
[07:49] <zcat[1]> here's where it gets weird. Now I've unplugged that card, and rebooted, and NOW when I plug the mouse into the inbuilt usb plug it works!!
[07:50] <Gnea> RifleEyes: the partition types - you said one of them is fat32 (why fat32 instead of ntfs?!) - but linux can't install on an f or a c, only an 83 (sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda to see the partition types currently in use)
[07:50] <lovinglinux> Gnea: the result...http://pastie.org/258844.txt
[07:50] <RifleEyes> Gnea: fat32 for a common drive between the 3 systems
[07:51] <lars_> kristerj, doesn't seem to be working...I'm thinking I can just delete all my Java stuff that I have and reinstall with apt-get
[07:51] <Gnea> RifleEyes: i would use ntfs, since ubuntu can do full read/write support with it, but that's fine
[07:51] <Gnea> lovinglinux: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 20
[07:51] <RifleEyes> Gnea: wasn't aware of this support.
[07:52] <lovinglinux> Gnea: yes, that is the message I get every time I try to install lirc
[07:52] <zcat[1]> btw; is there a way of doing encrypted drives that windows will recognise?
[07:52] <Gnea> !ntfs-3g | RifleEyes
[07:52] <hanif> plz hlp, installed Secret Mayo Chronicles from source into Feisty, not only is game a little choppy, even in min res from x with no wm on a 3 gig machine, but when you exit, system logs you out. Any suggestions on where to look for troubleshoot log info to track down prob to fix?
[07:53] <Rat409> zcat[1]: maybe truecrypt not positive tho
[07:53] <RifleEyes> Gnea: my two partitions for linux are 82 and 83
[07:53] <wtfunk> It works :> pajamian==awesome
[07:53] <hischild> zcat[1], truecrypt with a fat or ntfs partition in it will work.
[07:53] <Gnea> RifleEyes: good. what method are you using in the installer for doing the disk partitioning? advanced?
[07:53] <salaz> how to unzip zip file
[07:54] <salaz> ! zip
[07:54] <wtfunk> arf.
[07:54] <Gnea> !unzip
[07:54] <wtfunk> brb
[07:54] <salaz> ! zip
[07:54] <RifleEyes> Gnea: i don't know. the installer on the livecd desktop, and i clicked on Manual where it showed all my space unallocated
[07:54] <pomada> anyone using vmware fusion?
[07:54] <Gnea> RifleEyes: is that on the same computer you're using to irc with?
[07:54] <|2-bits|> how do I add new screensavers for ubuntu? For that matter where do I get them?
[07:54] <RifleEyes>  Gnea: yes.
[07:54] <zcat[1]> hischild: cool. just installing easycrypt now.. I figured out how to set up luks but I don't think windows will recognise that (I don't have windows to test either.. will have to set up something for that next)
[07:55] <lovinglinux> brb
[07:55] <hischild> zcat[1], i've used truecrypt with succes in the past so i know it works.
[07:55] <hischild> zcat[1], anyway good luck :)
[07:56] <Gnea> RifleEyes: okay, i would retry the livecd, and check out all of the options available - manual should get you on the right path, and since the 2 partitions haven't been formatted yet, it's seeing it as 'unallocated', so as long as the amount of disk space adds up correctly, you should be fine to use it
[07:56] <mltdwn> just got ubuntu 8 on my new compaq presario F700 and with a little messing got every thing to work
[07:56] <zcat[1]> hmm... no truecrypt package in the repos?!
[07:56] <dody> hay
[07:56] <dody> indonesia nih
[07:56] <hischild> zcat[1], no you have to get it from their site.
[07:57] <Gnea> !id | dody
[07:57] <RifleEyes> Gnea: i'm on the livecd right now. if i use unallocated, won't it rewrite the whole drive? ubuntu can also see the drives ie C:\, F:\
[07:57] <Gnea> RifleEyes: does it not say how much of the space is unallocated?
[07:58] <RifleEyes> Gnea: 232.88GiB, which is about right for the total
[07:58] <RifleEyes> of all partitions
[07:58] <marco> hello
[07:58] <Gnea> RifleEyes: i'm not sure.... and i'm about ready to clonk over...
[07:58] <marco> is there anybody?
[07:59] <Gnea> !it | marco

[08:03] <lalo2> Hi! I'm having a big problem, and I need some help...
[08:03] <hischild> !ask lalo2
[08:03] <hischild> !ask | lalo2

[08:04] <gaurav> any help plese
[08:04] <gaurav> can i restore my linux
[08:04] <hischild> !grub | gaurav
[08:04] <lars_> kristerj, I deleted my old java stuff and apt-get'd a new copy
[08:04] <lovinglinux> Huston...GParted is open...buckle up because Windows is saying bye, bye! 10...9...8... :-)
[08:04] <pomada> anybody using vmware fusion?
[08:05] <chronographer> gaurav:  yeap. grub is the way to go... you can do it from a live cd, but its kinda complex
[08:05] <RifleEyes> anyone else know about triple-booting? or at least installing ubuntu?
[08:05] <chronographer> pomada: get virtualbox from the website, in form of 20mb .deb, its really good
[08:05] <kristerj> lars_ : so you installed sun-jdk6
[08:05] <hischild> RifleEyes, haven't really been watching your discussion. Can you sum it up? perhaps i can be of help
[08:05] <lalo2> When I activate the nvidia restricted drivers, my system sooner or later completely freezees... and if I use Azureus, much sooner... any help please??
[08:05] <lars_> kristerj, yes
[08:06] <RifleEyes> thank you hischild
[08:06] <hischild> RifleEyes, don't thank me yet, haven't done anything ;-)
[08:06] <gaurav> can any one tell now how can i have my dual booting easily
[08:06] <gaurav> ?
[08:06] <pomada> chronographer: Cant, im using macbook, i need osx as the host
[08:06] <pomada> need to use vmware fusion
[08:07] <lovinglinux> Gnea: Now I'm trying to delete the Windows partition, but it is flagged as boot. Can I do it?
[08:07] <hischild> gaurav, reboot of a live cd and reinstall grub.
[08:07] <djhash> pomada: i have used it once.. whats the problem?
[08:07] <RifleEyes> hischild: i have a fresh laptop with vista installed. i used the livecd to make partitions to install xp and ubuntu. i'm pretty sure i did the partitions right. i've installed xp, but can't load into vista obviously because of the bootloader. don't have a vista cd. trying to install ubuntu currently but when its at the installation, it sees no partitions just "unallocated" with my total...
[08:07] <RifleEyes> ...space (all partitions)
[08:07] <gaurav> how to reinstall grub
[08:07] <Rat409> pomada: soesn't osx have "parallels"?
[08:07] <lalo2> any help please? the nvidia restricted drivers completely freeze my computer...
[08:07] <hischild> !grub | gaurav
[08:07] <hischild> gaurav, read the guide above.
[08:08] <pomada> Rat409: Yeah, but fusion is much better.
[08:08] <Rat409> ohh
[08:08] <hischild> RifleEyes, and have you checked the output of fdisk?
[08:08] <gaurav> grub> setup (hd0)  ??when i did so i got an error Error 17: Cannot mount selected partition
[08:08] <gaurav> Error 17: Cannot mount selected partition
[08:08] <pomada> djhash: did your audio works out of the box? using fusion?
[08:08] <RifleEyes> i think Gnea had me do that
[08:08] <Hamled> Can I specify a network in hosts.allow or only individual IP addresses?
[08:08] <RifleEyes> hischild: it sees all the partitions i made earlier
[08:08] <djhash> pomada: yeah.. didn't have any issues..
[08:08] <pomada> hmmm
[08:09] <pomada> maybe cause im using xubuntu?
[08:09] <hischild> RifleEyes, did you reboot of the live cd? the kernel tends to not use the right partition scheme if you haven't rebooted sometimes
[08:09] <djhash> pomada: try using a USB audio...
[08:09] <hischild> !pm | gaurav
[08:09] <mikeb55> Hey guys, so I login to a site, and I think it saves a session/cookie, how could I login and view a page via wget?
[08:09] <RifleEyes> hischild: reboot of the livecd?
[08:09] <lars_> kristerj, so what am I doing?
[08:09] <hischild> RifleEyes, yes.
[08:10] <RifleEyes> hischild: what exactly does this mean
[08:10] <gaurav> dear hischild could u please join for a while in pm
[08:10] <benjick> gaurav: Why can't you just state your question here?
[08:10] <hischild> RifleEyes, after you've changed the partitions, have you rebooted your system?
[08:10] <pomada> djhash: nah i want my card to work
[08:10] <gaurav> i installed the win and lost my old linux
[08:10] <RifleEyes> hischild: definitely. i've installed xp and stuff.
[08:10] <Dragon_Master> who can help me install java on firefox 3 on kubuntu 8.04 w/ KDE4
[08:10] <pomada> djhash: it have to
[08:11] <gaurav> and i want the dual how can i
[08:11] <cabrioleur> RifleEyes, so, you can't boot? Do you have error number?
[08:11] <zcat[1]> !grub | gaurav
[08:11] <lalo2> any help please? the nvidia restricted drivers completely freeze my computer...
[08:11] <gaminggeek> can someone please help me
[08:11] <benjick> gaurav: I think windows wrote a new MBR, install grub
[08:11] <RifleEyes> cabrioleur: i can boot into xp, but i don't have the drivers so nothing works on that OS
[08:11] <gaurav> when i try to install grub i got this error setup (hd0)
[08:11] <gaurav> Error 17: Cannot mount selected partition
[08:11] <RifleEyes> cabrioleur: i'm on the livecd currently trying to install ubuntu
[08:11] <lalo2> any help please? the nvidia restricted drivers completely freeze my computer...
[08:11] <djhash> pomada: yeah.. it should..  see if you can detect the audio card in xubuntu.. or from the liveCD..
[08:11] <gaurav> how can i reslove grub
[08:11] <gaminggeek> I think running opengl apps is causing X11 and my computer to crash
[08:11] <lalo2> any help please? the nvidia restricted drivers completely freeze my computer...
[08:12] <benjick> gaurav: You got a link
[08:12] <djhash> !repeat | lalo2
[08:12] <pomada> djhash: its not working, i already install xubuntu.. im not sure if i need to install the vmware tools, which is another pain that i need to do it manually
[08:12] <hischild> RifleEyes, alright. So if i see this right, the installer doesn't see any partitions while fdisk does?
[08:12] <gaminggeek> where can I find any logs to find out atleast why its crashing so I can submit a bug report
[08:12] <pomada> djhash: i will install the vmware tools first to see what happen..
[08:12] <RifleEyes> hischild: yes, and the livecd sees the drives ie., C:\, F:\
[08:12] <gaurav> dear when i try to sudo install it made an error how to resolve dis error unable to mount disk
[08:13] <gaurav> ?
[08:13] <hischild> RifleEyes, but aren't you attempting to install of the live cd? Another thought is to create the partitions yourself first and then start the installer.
[08:14] <gaurav> Error 17: Cannot mount selected partition
[08:14] <RifleEyes> hischild: thats exactly what i've done. i just made partitions a few hours ago. i'm using the livecd right now.
[08:14] <gaurav> how can i install grub by this error
[08:14] <hischild> RifleEyes, and did you create a file system on those partitions?
[08:14] <RifleEyes> hischild: of course.
[08:14] <benjick> !grub | gaurav
[08:14] <hischild> !pm | gaurav
[08:15] <gaurav> when i setup grub i got an error how could i reslove it
[08:15] <djhash> pomada: try that.. also.. unfortunately.. the problem can be either due to fusion or the mac or the ubuntu installation.. first try to see if ubuntu detects an audio card.. then see if its the correct one.. then check if fusion is giving any errors in the logs (you can get to it using system profiler, or runing console from utilities folder)..
[08:15] <benjick> gaurav: What's the error?
[08:15] <supernicko> gaurav, what is the error?
[08:15] <gaurav> grub> setup (hd0)
[08:15] <gaurav> setup (hd0)
[08:15] <gaurav> Error 17: Cannot mount selected partition
[08:15] <kristerj> lars_ : the error is on compiling right?
[08:15] <kristerj> lars_ : not running?
[08:16] <Myrtti> gaurav: please stop pm'ing people if they ask you to stop
[08:16] <gaurav> i did dear
[08:16] <gaurav> now can i have the help please
[08:16] <lars_> kristerj, yep...
[08:16] <pomada> djhash:  mean to boot from a ubuntu disk and check if audio is working?
[08:17] <pomada> you *
[08:17] <supernicko> gaurav, be a little patient
[08:17] <RifleEyes> hischild: if you'd like to see the result of the fdisk, i can paste it
[08:17] <lalo2> any help please? the nvidia restricted drivers completely freeze my computer...
[08:17] <lalo2> randomly...
[08:17] <lars_> kristerj, http://paste.ubuntu.com/40091/
[08:17] <hischild> RifleEyes, hmm ... it's odd that the installer isn't working. The output would be useful yes.
[08:17] <RifleEyes> hischild: in here or PM?
[08:17] <djhash> gaurav: did u first "root (hd0,x)"
[08:18] <djhash> pomada: yeah..
[08:18] <gaurav> what should be x
[08:18] <djhash> pomada: or you can "lshw" and see if the audio card comes up in the list.
[08:18] <gaurav> yes i did da same root (hd0,1)
[08:18] <supernicko> gaurav, whatever your root partition is
[08:18] <djhash> gaurav: first type  "find /boot/grub/stage1"
[08:18] <pomada> ok
[08:19] <pomada> wait a sec i will open xubuntu
[08:19] <gaurav> it's hd0,7)
[08:19] <djhash> gaurav: the result will tell you which partition has ubuntu installed..
[08:19] <lovinglinux> pajamian and Gnea: thank you very much. I'm going off line to delete Windows. Wish me luck :-)
[08:19] <w2_> ai
[08:20] <djhash> gaurav: then you need "root (hd0,7)", then "setup (hd0), then reboot"
[08:20] <Hamled> what package would allow me to setup netgroups?
[08:20] <gaurav> thankx
[08:21] <kristerj> lars_ : i am able to compile some test code using the Scanner class
[08:22] <kristerj> lars_ : make sure running the command "which javac" returns /usr/bin/javac
[08:22] <_hase> Is there a way I can connect my two laptops without a router, one of them has ubuntu 6.1 and the other is up to date, I want to transfer my old data, but I don't have an external harddrive or a router
[08:22] <_hase> I have an ethernet cord
[08:22] <hischild> _hase, yes
[08:23] <kristerj> lars_ : the only packages i have installed relating to java are the sun-java6-jdk, sun-java6-jre, and sun-java6-source
[08:23] <kristerj> lars_ : i would really only think the jdk would be necessary
[08:23] <hischild> _hase, plug in the cables, set up static ip's and you're connected.
[08:24] <hischild> !pm | _hase
[08:24] <lars_> kristerj, lemme see if getting the source helps
[08:24] <dorange> áå÷ø èåá
[08:24] <dorange> good morning
[08:24] <pomada> djhash: im in, so you say.. lshw isnt
[08:24] <kristerj> lars_ : i would triple-check you have no other errors in your code
[08:24] <dorange> can any one help me?
[08:24] <djhash> pomada: yeah.. "lshw"
[08:25] <kristerj> lars_ : im sorry to say im fresh out of ideas other than that
[08:25] <_hase> Ok, I'm not exactly sure how to set up static ips, but after thats done how would I move the files
[08:25] <ompaul> dorange, though the gift of telepathy no, if you ask your question in full with some supporting detail on one line then there is a high chance someone might be able to help
[08:26] <hischild> _hase, use sftp
[08:27] <_hase> Thanks
[08:27] <obst_> I have a problem with the sound ... I use onboard sound of the nforce2 chipset. The chipset supports hardware mixing but from time to time I have problems playing sound in two applications at the same time
[08:27] <dorange> im looking for an ubuntu 804 witch i can install on a usb thumbdrive
[08:28] <_hase> I don't see sftp in the synaptic package manager
[08:28] <pomada> djhash: i think its there.. multimedia audio controller, product: ES1371 (AUDIOPCI-97)
[08:28] <dorange> i need to install ubuntu on that thumbdrive from within windows
[08:28] <djhash> pomada: that sounds about right..
[08:28] <pancio> ,
[08:28] <hischild> _hase, it's a protocol. If either one has an ssh server installed you can type sftp://<ip of other machine> and login to copy data.
[08:29] <_hase> But how do I fine out the computers ip
[08:29] <obst_> ALSA is my preffered sound system. I double checked all volume controls. They work. If I switch to Pulse Audio I hear a sound from the Test button but using alsa it says: audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink: Could not open audio device for playback. Device is being used by another application.
[08:29] <hischild> _hase, you have to set those manually.
[08:29] <_hase> and what if they have the same exact name and passwords, that won't cause issues right
[08:29] <pomada> djhash: yeah and actually i select that as a device.. ensoniq audiopci..
[08:29] <hischild> _hase, it won't cause issues.
[08:29] <pomada> djhash: i wonder which wannabe master i need to select
[08:29] <hischild> RifleEyes, are you still there?
[08:29] <RifleEyes> hischild: getting my messages?
[08:29] <RifleEyes> heh
[08:30] <prezz> ...
[08:30] <_hase> Ok, so I just set the static ips manually
[08:30] <pajamian> !pulse | obst_
[08:30] <pajamian> obst_: see the URL referenced by ubottu
[08:30] <kristerj> _lars im sorry i couldnt be more help, but i need to head off
[08:30] <obst_> pajamian, is pulseAudio 'newer' or 'better'  or what?
[08:30] <lars_> kristerj, no prob
[08:31] <pajamian> obst_: not sure, but that article answers why you have problems with simultaneous sound in flash and other apps and gives a solution.
[08:31] <nIRV_> hello -- could someone running on intrepid confirm seahorse gedit plugin and file association are not working? thanks
[08:32] <obst_> okay thank you pajamian. I will take a look..
[08:32] <hischild> !intrepid | nIRV_
[08:32] <djhash> pomada: honestly.. i'm not sure what the next steps are.. but one thing you can try to do is check if the driver is working the way it should be.. (not sure how).. if it is.. then the problem might be in vmfusion and not ubuntu..
[08:33] <LiraNuna> hi, I'm using a toshiba satellite laptop with ip2200 driver. I reinstalled ubuntu from scratch and now wireless doesn't work
[08:33] <LiraNuna> it worked before out of the box using ubuntu. any idea?
[08:34] <pomada> yeah
[08:34] <pomada> i will try
[08:34] <gluonman> I just set a friend of mine up with Linux Ubuntu 8.04.1. She has an HP laptop that is designed to handle Vista, so I figured it's hardware is pretty good. However, after making a full installation, Ubuntu is freezing up and not letting me do crap when I have the visual settings on high using the nVidia. But now when I go to appearances, it won't let me switch tabs to turn off the extra effects.
[08:34] <pomada> to install the tools
[08:34] <gluonman> Supposedly her laptop has been loaned to many people and used, and has suffered some physical iniquities.
[08:34] <gluonman> Which may be the cause of some of this problem.
[08:35] <lars_> anybody else able to help me find and set the correct classpath so I can use API classes in java?
[08:36] <Hamled> I'm trying to use NFS to share some files across the network. I set everything up according to this help page: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo but every time I connect it says the Program is not registered. Where would nfsd keep its logs? (I'm using nfs-kernel-server)
[08:38] <lars_> anybody else able to help me find and set the correct classpath so I can use API classes in java?
[08:39] <gluonman> Can anyone offer me a solution to my problem? HP laptop with Ubuntu 8.04.1 that's freezing up and restricting all forms of access ever since enabling extra effects with the nVidia.
[08:40] <BonezAU> hello, can someone please tell me what version of the nvidia driver is being used in hardy?
[08:41] <lars_> anybody else able to help me find and set the correct classpath so I can use API classes in java?
[08:41] <Kartagis> hello

[08:41] <durino13> hischild: thx

[08:42] <lovinglinux> I'm back and Windows has gone...WooHoo! Now I need to know If I can mount the deleted drive (another disc) as /backup for example
[08:42] <hischild> lovinglinux, yes you can.
[08:42] <dasorm> how to do a file system check on a ntfs partition?
[08:43] <BonezAU> hello, can someone please tell me what version of the nvidia driver is being used in hardy?
[08:43] <lovinglinux> hischild: thanks. do I need to do that using live CD or I can do it with geparted while logged on Ubuntu?
[08:44] <hischild> lovinglinux, you can do it while logged in on ubuntu ;-)
[08:44] <hischild> lovinglinux, you'll have to install gparted probably first, but it'll work fine.
[08:45] <lovinglinux> hischild: thanks again. Another question....my /home folder is on a separated partition. Can I mount this empty drive as a subdirectory of home?
[08:45] <hischild> lovinglinux, and even that is possible
[08:45] <Keira-233> Hi, guys I have a question, I have Ubuntu installed and I love it but cant use wifi. Its a laptop I have, is there a wifi adapter or card that I can just use that works instantly and just out if the box, I mean with no set up at all      ????
[08:45] <lovinglinux> hischild: I love this OS :-)
[08:45] <hischild> lovinglinux, same here :-)
[08:46] <lovinglinux> hischild: I will miss some games, bnut I won't look back :-)
[08:46] <LiraNuna> I'm having problems with ipw2200, it used to work before (on 7.10). anyone has any info on that?
[08:46] <BonezAU> Keira-233 do you know what sort of wireless adapter your laptop has?
[08:46] <lovinglinux> oops, but I mean
[08:46] <lars_> anybody else able to help me find and set the correct classpath so I can use API classes in java?
[08:47] <hischild> lovinglinux, what sort of games? there are some games that'll work just fine.
[08:47] <gluonman> If I've installed Ubuntu Hardy on an HP with an nVidia graphics card, and everything worked fine up until enabling extra desktop effects, and then I can't do crap, or even access the visual effects settings to turn it back off, what is the cause and what can I do to fix it?
[08:47] <Keira-233> i have a usb edimax ew-7318USG but i mean im happy to just go into a computer store and buy one even, my laptop inside has an atheros i think
[08:48] <BonezAU> Keira-233: what version of Ubuntu are you using? atheros should work out of the box with hardy. if not, have you tried madwifi?
[08:48] <lovinglinux> hischild: America's Army is the one I will miss. The game runs under Wine, but PunkBuster doesn't
[08:48] <Keira-233> what is madwifi? Im using 8.04
[08:48] <Keira-233> thanx by the way
[08:48] <hischild> lovinglinux, hmm ... :( that's 2 bad ..
[08:48] <BonezAU> Keira-233, np, read up here: http://madwifi.org/ you should be able to get your existing card working without too much trouble
[08:49] <lovinglinux> hischild: how do I remove Windos from the Grub menu now?
[08:49] <Keira-233> really !!!...thanks so much , really, its the last ubuntu prob i have...thanks!!!
[08:49] <hischild> lovinglinux, gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst          then scroll down and remove the section about windows
[08:49] <BonezAU> Keira-233 no prob, let me know how it goes :)
[08:49] <gluonman> Keira-233, oh, you'll have more. haha
[08:50] <hischild> lovinglinux, preferably PM me the lines you'll remove
[08:50] <gluonman> Keira-233, just a joke, don't mind me.
[08:50] <lovinglinux> hischild: cool, thanks again
[08:50] <inertial> anyone had any problems with the xmonad package?
[08:50] <Keira-233> ok, checking it out right now...
[08:50] <BonezAU> I've got a really crappy problem. I just spent $1200 on a new PC, and the hardware is so new that ubuntu can't support it. I can't even boot intrepid alpha 4. I have been forced back to Windoze :(
[08:50] <hischild> BonezAU, what hardware?
[08:51] <BonezAU> hischild, I have a Gigabyte mainboard with the NVidia Nforce 750 chipset, and a nvidia 9600GT - I can boot hardy but can't get raid or the video card to work, i spent hours on it
[08:51] <Farhadix> i have upgraded and now I wanna downgrade, but I can't remmember what was packages? where it loged?
[08:51] <ahboi> hey guys i need some help with the alternate cd. I am trying to install the command-line base system By typing cli. But i get this error could not find kernel image cli
[08:52] <lars_> anybody else able to help me find and set the correct classpath so I can use API classes in java?
[08:52] <BonezAU> !repeat | lars_
[08:52] <Michdu31> Bonjour a tous
[08:52] <hischild> BonezAU, hmm ... iirc the videocard should work.
[08:52] <Michdu31> Help me!!!
[08:52] <Farhadix> i'm using cli
[08:52] <matthew_> sup guys
[08:52] <BonezAU> hischild: well yeah, even the nvidia binary driver claims to support my card, but for the life of me I can not get it to work
[08:52] <tolga_> how do I stop NetworkManager from modifying resolv.conf?
[08:53] <BonezAU> hischild: it's been a month or 2 since I tried it, perhaps i'll give it another shot :)
[08:53] <hischild> BonezAU, what does it do / not do?
[08:53] <ahboi> im looking at my laptop right now heres what it says. To install only the command-line base system, type 'cli' then ENTER fro the default installation, press ENTER
[08:53] <l3d> ok I would like to stop nautilus opening everytime i put a cd in ?
[08:53] <hischild> ahboi, if you want a normal system, don't type anything but press enter
[08:53] <Michdu31> someone, can I help me
[08:53] <hischild> !ask | michael_buckbee
[08:53] <ahboi> hischild i dont want a normal just the command-line base install no gui :)
[08:54] <hischild> Michdu31, read above ^ (wrong nick)
[08:54] <hischild> ahboi, then type cli and press enter
[08:54] <BonezAU> hischild, the nvidia-glx-new package (restricted driver) in the repos does not work, after installing & rebooting I get a black screen and no gdm.. the nvidia binary driver crashes and complains about something.. I did pastebin it at some stage but nobody here knew the answer. I also tried the envyng driver and that also crashed
[08:54] <ahboi> okay heres the error
[08:54] <lovinglinux> hischild: these are my Windows entries http://pastie.org/258852.txt can I delete all section?
[08:54] <ahboi> Could not find kernel image: cli
[08:54] <hischild> lovinglinux, yes, those are safe to remove.
[08:55] <ahboi> hischild any ideas?
[08:55] <montymintypie_> Hey guys, if you can't solve this, don't worry, I'll post on the forums instead. I've managed to delete the menu bar at the top of the screen in Hardy. I managed to get it back, but I can't add any of the folders it used to have (applications etc) and the add to panel thing doesn't have the stuff I want. Any way to reset this back to defaults?
[08:55] <hischild> BonezAU, hmm ... although i can't say i'm really surprised that envy generated an error, it's odd that your card isn't working then.
[08:55] <l3d> ok I would like to stop nautilus opening everytime i put a cd in ?
[08:55] <hischild> ahboi, a type?
[08:55] <ahboi> a type?
[08:55] <rtz3673> ahboi: looks like the label "cli" is missing in isolinux.cfg on the alternate cd
[08:55] <ahboi> yea how can i add that
[08:56] <hischild> ahboi, *typo
[08:56] <BonezAU> hischild, yes I think I will give it another shot tonight.
[08:56] <rtz3673> ahboi: you can't. the file is read only on the cd
[08:56] <hischild> BonezAU, GL :) i'll be online probably, i'd like to see how it turns out
[08:56] <BonezAU> montymintypie_, I had this problem once and after adding the menu bar back, I had to manually add every single menu and icon back to it
[08:56] <lovinglinux> hischild: THANK YOU! I'm almost Windows free now. Just need to get rid of my virtualbox :-)
[08:56] <rtz3673> ahboi: maybe they renamed the label and the message is not updated
[08:56] <ahboi> rtz3673 its actually editable :) isotostick is nice
[08:56] <gemini1992> how would i get a file path into a variable? (bash script)
[08:56] <BonezAU> hischild, cheers man :) i'll just toast this CD, reboot & install :D
[08:57] <hischild> BonezAU, GL :) doing gentoo atm myself, lovely install process
[08:57] <montymintypie_> Where do you find the folder (applications, preferences etc) adder thingy (can't think of a better way to phrase it)
[08:57] <ahboi> so where can i get a good copy of syslinux.cfg oh wait isolinux.cfg
[08:57] <rtz3673> ahboi: please pastebin the syslinux.cfg or isolinux.cfg
[08:57] <rtz3673> !paste | ahboi
[08:57] <ahboi> aww okay one second
[08:58] <BonezAU> montymintypie_, I am not using ubuntu right now (just about to reinstall, using windoze) so I can't be of much help. I did do it once before, perhaps ask some others and see if they can help
[08:58] <Gin> hi, what uility can I use to cut of a small part of a mp3 file?
[08:58] <rtz3673> Gin: audacity
[08:58] <montymintypie_> Also, the notwork monitor in the 'Add to panel' windows isn't the same as the default.
[08:59] <Gin> rtz3673, I have tried it but didn't manage to work with it.
[08:59] <RifleEyes> can a livecd see a usb drive?
[08:59] <RifleEyes> rather, use one
[09:00] <Dr_willis> RifleEyes,  should be able to 'access' one.
[09:00] <montymintypie_> Gin: What happened when you tried?
[09:00] <RifleEyes> it wont open or show stuff on it. can it write to it?
[09:00] <Dr_willis> RifleEyes,  you may need to manyally mount it.
[09:00] <Dr_willis> dependng on what filesystem is on it.
[09:00] <Gin> montymintypie_, the interface was too complicated. but I'm reading a tutorial
[09:00] <Dr_willis> I dont use the live cd muchif ever.
[09:01] <RifleEyes> i only use it when OSs are dead.
[09:01] <montymintypie_> Gin, try just selecting the bit you want to delete, then press delete
[09:01] <montymintypie_> Then go to file and press 'export to mp3'
[09:02] <ahboi> okay here it is :) http://paste.ubuntu.com/40103/
[09:02] <Che-Anarc> Hi can can someone please help get my optical drive working... whenever I try to mount it it fails and I get some errors that appear in dmesg but before doing that I can eject & isoinfo it... after all fails / stops.
[09:03] <lars_> anybody else able to help me find and set the correct classpath so I can use API classes in java?
[09:03] <rtz3673> ahboi: hmm, no cli section present
[09:03] <ahboi> yes i noticed,
[09:03] <rtz3673> ahboi: i don't have older alternate cds here, so i can't check how that section would look like
[09:04] <ahboi> I will see if i can pull something up with google hopefully i can find something
[09:04] <ahboi> i was at this for about 6hrs :P
[09:04] <Hamled> does NFS have a log file somewhere?
[09:04] <Hamled> nfsd rather, from the nfs-kernel-server package
[09:05] <rtz3673> ahboi: maybe they removed the cli section and you can later choose which system to install
[09:05] <dorange> hey all
[09:05] <dorange> can any one help me?
[09:05] <Dr_willis> Hamled,  most services can log to /var/log, and the level of logging is normally setable
[09:05] <hischild> rtz3673, what part do you wish to see? i've got a few around here
[09:05] <dorange> it there any ubuntu user who may help me?
[09:05] <Hamled> Dr_willis, the first place I checked
[09:05] <_ruben> !anyone
[09:05] <ahboi> rtz3673 i thought so too but its not the case
[09:05] <dorange> i need to install ubuntu on a thumbdrive
[09:05] <rtz3673> hischild: actually it is for ahboi. he wants to install command line only system with the alternate cd
[09:06] <hischild> rtz3673, hmm mkay.
[09:06] <alittler> are there any good fixes for flash audio?
[09:06] <hischild> ahboi, what part of what file did you wish to see? i've got some alternate cd's.
[09:06] <ahboi> i already installed it by pressing enter and its the usual 8.04 Desktop install
[09:06] <rtz3673> ahboi: i guess it requires specifying a different *.seed file, but i am not sure
[09:06] <ahboi> hischild menu label cli inside isolinux.cfg
[09:06] <hischild> ahboi, CLI is only on the alternate CD's, not on the desktop ones.
[09:07] <ahboi> hischild i have alternate 8.04
[09:07] <ahboi> :)
[09:07] <Dr_willis> Hamled,  check the nfs server docs and enable more logging  would be the next step
[09:07] <dorange> ahboi maybe you know?
[09:07] <ahboi> but my isolinux.cfg file lacks the menu option
[09:07] <hischild> ahboi, same here, yet i've installed a cli from it
[09:07] <ahboi> dorange
[09:08] <ahboi> here type this into google isotostick.sh
[09:08] <dorange> i wanna install ubuntu 804 on a thumbdrive
[09:08] <dorange> ho
[09:08] <hischild> !install | dorange
[09:08] <ahboi> you will need to apt-get install syslinux mtools
[09:08] <dorange> i googled it so many times
[09:08] <Gin> montymintypie_, that worked :) Thanks :-)
[09:09] <dorange> i was able to install many linux disterbutions
[09:09] <ahboi> hischild did you see my syslinux.cfg post? it didnt have cli in it. and its the alternate cd
[09:09] <dorange> including mandriva and ubuntu
[09:09] <dorange> but i didnt find what i was looking for
[09:09] <ahboi> okay give me a second
[09:10] <ahboi> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick
[09:10] <rtz3673> ahboi: maybe your isotostick.sh creates a faulty syslinux.cfg. look at the original isolinux.cfg in the iso.
[09:10] <ahboi> aww rtz3673 yea
[09:10] <ahboi> good going i think your right. Hey thanks alot
[09:11] <dorange> i need a thumbdrive installtion witch support hebrew and has full kde interface including open office, compiz, internet tools ext
[09:12] <cool_penguin> Hi Guys
[09:12] <ahboi> Dorange why dont you roll your own live cd then use the isotostick.sh script to make it bootable
[09:12] <cool_penguin> Anybody using Ubuntu 8.04.1?
[09:12] <cool_penguin> anybody?
[09:12] <hischild> ahboi, i noticed yet that's a desktop, not the alternate.
[09:12] <rtz3673> !ask | cool_penguin
[09:13] <rtz3673> cool_penguin: ask more specific, otherwise no one can help you
[09:13] <cool_penguin> oops, sorry. If anybody is using Ubuntu 8.04.1, have you guys seen the system updating itself for the past 1 week>??
[09:14] <ahboi> hischild i think the isotostick modified the syslinux.cfg im looking right now
[09:14] <cool_penguin> My system has not shown me any updates for the past week or 10 days
[09:14] <l3d> I added the  command Avant Window Navigator to the session list so this will start avant every time on boot right?
[09:14] <dorange> so i just burn ubuntu to a livecd, and folow the instraction from that site: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick?
[09:14] <cool_penguin> When I check for updates manually, it says no updates found
[09:15] <cool_penguin> which leads me to think if i screwed up in some way
[09:15] <_coredump_> hmm my debian lenny does update every day, hardy is based on lenny so it should have updates too
[09:15] <cool_penguin> no dude. I have been checking manually for the past 10 days
[09:15] <cool_penguin> and no updates to be seen
[09:15] <_coredump_> cool_penguin, apt-get update, apt-get upgrade wont update anything?
[09:15] <crdlb> _coredump_:
[09:16] <crdlb> _coredump_: ubuntu is not synced to debian
[09:16] <cool_penguin> doing that say 0 found, 0 updates no upgrades in CLI
[09:16] <hischild> ahboi, my alternate has only about 5 lines or so total .. i'd say a "small" difference ;)
[09:16] <crdlb> except during development
[09:16] <dorange> and it will have an persisstent loop?
[09:16] <rtz3673> _coredump_: ubuntu does not use debian packages
[09:16] <cool_penguin> rtz what distro are u using?
[09:16] <_coredump_> crdlb, hmm hardy shows same updates as lenny does
[09:17] <ahboi> okay let me look
[09:17] <rtz3673> _coredump_: they only use .deb format, but they software is packaged again for ubuntu
[09:17] <ahboi> hischild i dont know its still bad
[09:18] <cool_penguin> 10 days ago, I would always see updates to be available but not anymore
[09:18] <ahboi> let me post the iso file name
[09:18] <ahboi> ubuntu-8.04.1-alternate-i386.iso
[09:18] <ahboi> this is the alternate cd right?
[09:18] <hischild> ahboi, hmh ..
[09:19] <rtz3673> ahboi: yes. look at the isolinux.cfg in that iso
[09:19] <_coredump_> rtz3673, so why i see same updates on my lenny laptop and my hardy desktop system?
[09:19] <hischild> ahboi, and when u installed it, it showed you the deskto pstuff?
[09:19] <cool_penguin> I had included medibuntu in the repository list, but later disabled it
[09:19] <ahboi> i did still messed up
[09:19] <cool_penguin> thats what I remember doing 10 days ago
[09:19] <montymintypie_> So.... anyone know how to reset the menu bar? I mean FULL reset. Like new, WITHOUT re-installing. Cause I lost it, then got it back. But now I can't get the right stuff back into it.
[09:19] <ahboi> hischild yes it installed a gui i couldnt type cli
[09:19] <rtz3673> _coredump_: don't know. maybe you use debian repos on your hardy install?
[09:19] <_coredump_> its simply based n debian, they use there packages for ubuntu
[09:19] <lars_> anybody else able to help me find and set the correct classpath so I can use API classes in java?
[09:19] <ahboi> on my laptop it says type cli of command-line base system
[09:19] <ompaul> dorange, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick
[09:20] <cool_penguin> is there any way to find out if updates are available?
[09:20] <hischild> ahboi, a faster way would be to download the minimal cd and use that
[09:20] <cool_penguin> I know that in the case of Edgy, the update manager was once broken
[09:20] <ompaul> dorange,  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCD/Persistence   - I guess if you do both of those ...
[09:20] <ahboi> but its not in either the iso i mount -o loop name.iso to /mount and looked the isolinux.cfg is the same as my one on the thumb drive
[09:20] <rtz3673> ahboi: hmmm
[09:20] <cabrioleur> cool_penguin, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install upgrade ??
[09:21] <jamal> haiiiiiiiiii
[09:21] <ahboi> hischild could you paste the syslinux.cfg on paste.ubuntu.com? please
[09:21] <cool_penguin> ﻿doing that say 0 found, 0 updates no upgrades in CLI
[09:21] <cabrioleur> cool_penguin, no install, hehe
[09:21] <cabrioleur> cool_penguin, so 0 updates :-)
[09:21] <MilanoCollection> What am I supposed to do when I get a 'dependency is not satisfiable libasound2' when I try to install something?
[09:21] <cool_penguin> ﻿cabrioleur, i dont quite get you
[09:21] <_coredump_> cool_penguin, maybe you should compare your sources.list with some other hardy user
[09:22] <cool_penguin> I use the GUI called Software sources and check there
[09:22] <_coredump_> cool_penguin, maybe your sources.list is messed up
[09:22] <cool_penguin> Yeah, I remember fooling around with that
[09:22] <cool_penguin> Is there anyway, i can fix it?
[09:23] <_coredump_> cool_penguin, yeah someone could post his sources.list to a pastebin so yu could compare n fix
[09:23] <b1ank_boy> jfksafjksjfksjafks
[09:23] <cool_penguin> Could somebody do that please?
[09:23] <hischild> ahboi, syslinux.cfg or isolinux.cfg?
[09:23] <MilanoCollection> What am I supposed to do when I get a 'dependency is not satisfiable libasound2' when I try to install something? By the way my Synaptic says I already have that plugin installed.
[09:24] <ahboi> aww isolinux.cfg
[09:24] <hischild> ahboi, sec then :) installin pastebinit
[09:24] <ahboi> thank you for this means alot
[09:24] <ahboi> :)
[09:24] <cabrioleur> cool_penguin, in terminal: "sudo mv /usr/share/doc/apt/examples/sources.list /etc/apt/"
[09:25] <hischild> ahboi, http://pastebin.com/f6455a226
[09:25] <cool_penguin> done. What next?

[09:27] <cool_penguin> E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root?
[09:27] <_coredump_> artiisan, could you pastebin the output from sudo fdisk -l to see your hard drives partitioning?
[09:27] <cabrioleur> cool_penguin, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
[09:27] <cool_penguin> ok, now I get ﻿0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
[09:28] <cabrioleur> cool_penguin, then everything is up-to-date
[09:28] <cool_penguin> ﻿cabrioleur, could you pls explain what the first command was for?
[09:29] <cool_penguin>  sudo mv /usr/share/doc/apt/examples/sources.list /etc/apt/
[09:29] <Th3_KiD> mount
[09:29] <rtz3673> cabrioleur: why mv and not cp? now the file is removed from /usr/share/doc/apt/examples, but it belongs to a installed pacakage
[09:29] <Gin> audacity, such a great program, but no pulseaudio support. :\
[09:30] <ahboi> hischild which version of ubuntu is this from? im going to try it on my 8.04 see if it works ill just save my orig isolinux.cfg file
[09:30] <Th3_KiD> how do i use BT3 while in ubuntu
[09:30] <cabrioleur> rtz3673, because it's 4:30 in the morning. My fault.
[09:30] <rtz3673> Gin: not even alsa support....
[09:30] <rtz3673> cabrioleur: oh okay :)
[09:30] <hischild> ahboi, intrepid, 8.10. Let me check if i have a 8.04 version
[09:30] <Gin> I wonder why.
[09:30] <cool_penguin> ﻿cabrioleur, could you pls explain what the first command was for? I mean ﻿sudo mv /usr/share/doc/apt/examples/sources.list /etc/apt/
[09:31] <Th3_KiD> can anyone help
[09:31] <cabrioleur> cool_penguin, it moved a copy of default list from a doc directory to a place where apt can use it. It replaced your old one.
[09:31] <hischild> ahboi, got one from an 8.04 version. Seems it's indeed quite different.
[09:31] <SkinnYPup> Anyone know the equivelent of cellwriter for 6.06 ?

[09:32] <hischild> ahboi, http://pastebin.com/f5abd6a9e is from an amd64 alternate
[09:32] <cool_penguin> so you mean if the original one was messed up, this replaced it with a new copy of sources.list?
[09:32] <cabrioleur> cool_penguin, yes
[09:32] <Th3_KiD> please
[09:32] <ahboi> aww hischild i386? have one of those
[09:32] <_coredump_> cool_penguin, here is another sources.list http://tuxicity.wordpress.com/sourceslist-for-ubuntu-hardy-heron-810/
[09:32] <cool_penguin> Thanks ﻿cabrioleur
[09:33] <hischild> ahboi, hmm i'll dig through my collection ... sec
[09:33] <cool_penguin> I was just beginning to get worried. But looks like the system is up to date. Thanks a lot ﻿cabrioleur
[09:33] <ahboi> thank you again
[09:33] <artiisan> _coredump_: sorry, wasn't sure what you meant by pastebin -I'm new to linux
[09:33] <hischild> ahboi, can't find one :( sorry ...
[09:33] <spi343> i have this vim syntax file http://paste.ubuntu.com/40106/    My qustion is , how can i make the start and end delimiters (<% and %>) be highlighed when used in a string like for example <p style="font-size:<%= n %>">test</p>
[09:34] <_coredump_> artiisan, http://paste.ubuntu.com put it there
[09:34] <joot> th3_Kid: is that a forum?
[09:34] <ahboi> its okay im going to see if ubuntu has one in the archives i doubt it though
[09:34] <cabrioleur> cool_penguin, you can use the file from _coredump_ as well, it has more repositories with "restricted, backports" etc. as well.
[09:34] <rtz3673> _coredump_: hardy heron 810? what kind of crap site is that?
[09:34] <ahboi> hischild, thank you again
[09:34] <cool_penguin> would that help?
[09:34] <_coredump_> rtz3673, dont know but the sources.list is alright
[09:35] <rtz3673> _coredump_: okay
[09:35] <joot> Th3_Kid: is that a forum?
[09:35] <artiisan> _coredump_: http://paste.ubuntu.com/40109/
[09:35] <_coredump_> rtz3673, google output crap ;)
[09:35] <rtz3673> _coredump_: usually i don't like these low quality blog based ubuntu tips
[09:35] <rtz3673> _coredump_: ubuntu wiki is more accurate in most cases
[09:36] <MilanoCollection> What am I supposed to do when I get a 'dependency is not satisfiable libasound2' when I try to install something? By the way my Synaptic says I already have that plugin installed.
[09:36] <lovinglinux> hischild: are you still reading this?
[09:36] <hischild> lovinglinux, yes i am
[09:36] <davetarmac> morning all. Has anyone successfully managed to connect their Ubuntu box (i'm on Hardy) to a mac running 10.4 server via vnc (or alike) application?
[09:36] <_coredump_> rtz3673, true, but for something trivial like a sources.list this page should be fine
[09:36] <cabrioleur> MilanoCollection, check what version is required.
[09:36] <rtz3673> _coredump_: yeah. a pity that source-o-matic is gone.
[09:36] <_coredump_> artiisan, so your second hdd has one ntfs partition sdb1
[09:37] <cabrioleur> davetarmac, with no problems whatsoever.
[09:37] <lovinglinux> hischild: ok, I formated the Windows disk into a new ext3 primary partition. The disk is showing as mounted under /media but I don't have writing privilege.
[09:37] <_coredump_> artiisan, simply mount it by sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/
[09:37] <davetarmac> cabrioleur: mind if I ask how you did it - software/settings?
[09:38] <davetarmac> cabrioleur: by the way - I'm on a VPN connection to the network
[09:38] <hischild> lovinglinux, you have to chown the drive. shall we let it mount at the right location first every time you boot?
[09:38] <cabrioleur> davetarmac, realvnc on linux side, and chicken on mac.
[09:39] <scream_sayonara> hi, i've just bought a new laptop and installed the latest ubuntu inside windows, but when i boot into ubuntu i cant get on the internet, my unsecured wireless network doesnt show up, i dont know what to do
[09:39] <davetarmac> cabrioleur: can it not be done through the default screen sharing on the 10.4 server?
[09:39] <mars_> scream_sayonara: well u need to make your windows the default gateway
[09:39] <_coredump_> davetarmac, you tried forwarding X through ssh with ssh -X ?
[09:40] <lars_> anybody else able to help me find and set the correct classpath so I can use API classes in java?
[09:40] <lovinglinux> hischild: sorry, English is not my first language. What you mean with chown?
[09:40] <artiisan> _coredump_:http://paste.ubuntu.com/40112/
[09:40] <mars_> where is the ruby core documentation located in ubuntu?
[09:40] <cabrioleur> davetarmac, sure it can. Personal preference. It's the same protocol, so it does not metter which one you are using.
[09:40] <scream_sayonara> well ok, but essentially if i can get it working inside windows, i want to think about just tsaking windows off altogether
[09:40] <Jomyoot_> Does ubuntu server allow remote upgrade?
[09:40] <ahboi> this is great from what i have found, Everyone has the same file structure as mine. Now im completely lost.
[09:40] <davetarmac> _coredump_: I haven't yet, no
[09:40] <scream_sayonara> how do you make windows the default gatewy
[09:40] <cool_penguin> ﻿cabrioleur & coredump. You guys rock !!!!
[09:40] <mars_> scream_sayonara: ? did you use vmware or any virtualisation?
[09:40] <Jomyoot_> Can you REMOTE UPGRADe a ubuntu system?
[09:41] <cool_penguin> I used the file from _coredump and now I am able to see 26 updates available
[09:41] <cabrioleur> thank you, cool_penguin
[09:41] <scream_sayonara> no i havent done anything, when i got ubuntu on my desktop, the connection just worked
[09:41] <_coredump_> artiisan, your ntfs drive had an unclean state, you have to do sudo ntfsfix /dev/sdb1 before you can mount it
[09:41] <scream_sayonara> so i thought it would be the same on my laptop
[09:41] <mars_> scream_sayonara: wait... so you installed ubuntu normally?
[09:41] <_coredump_> artiisan, be sure you have ntfsprogs installed
[09:41] <cool_penguin> i have one last question. Why was the new file from coredumb better than what I had initially?
[09:42] <hischild> lovinglinux, it's a command. If you execute this command ==> sudo chown <user>:<user> /media/<disk name> it'll be read an writeable for your user. However, it may be useful to first make sure the drive mounts at the wanted location. You meantioned something about /backup or a folder in /home ?
[09:42] <scream_sayonara> is there a way to check if the wireless drivers are installed?
[09:42] <lovinglinux> hischild: nevermind I found is chmod
[09:42] <mars_> scream_sayonara: then forget about default gateway
[09:42] <scream_sayonara> well i installed it *inside vista
[09:42] <lovinglinux> hischild: nevermind I found the meaning "chmod"
[09:42] <mars_> scream_sayonara: well then you have virtualisation
[09:42] <cabrioleur> cool_penguin, it had more repositories in it (more servers to fetch software from, more software in general).
[09:42] <lovinglinux> oops, double post
[09:42] <scream_sayonara> whats that mean
[09:42] <hischild> lovinglinux, no, that's the wrong command. I really  meant chown. chmod changes permissions on the file, where chown changes the owner
[09:42] <artiisan> _coredump_: It didn't find that command. Let me have a read of a few docs and see if I can get it working, if not, I hope I can help some further help later? Thanks in advance
[09:43] <cool_penguin> is backport repository harmful for the system?
[09:43] <mars_> scream_sayonara: that a host os (vista) embedds your os (ubuntu)
[09:43] <_coredump_> artiisan, be sure you have ntfsprogs installed
[09:43] <lovinglinux> hischild: I need something like sudo chmod /home/media/disk1...
[09:43] <cabrioleur> cool_penguin, might be. It's not harmful, but you can expect more bugs than standard repositories.
[09:43] <hischild> lovinglinux, what's ur username?
[09:43] <lovinglinux> hischild: caio
[09:43] <mars_> scream_sayonara: most likely with vmware or vitualbox
[09:43] <davetarmac> well I can SSH in no problem, but the -X atribute didn't seem to work
[09:43] <cool_penguin> oh then I should disable backports for a stable system right?
[09:44] <artiisan> _coredump_ : will do.
[09:44] <hischild> lovinglinux, then the command would be --> sudo chown caio:caio /media/disk1 -R
[09:44] <mars_> scream_sayonara: or did you just install them both on the same laptop? that would mean you have dual boot.
[09:44] <cabrioleur> cool_penguin, in exchange you have newer software with more whistles etc. You can, if you want to.
[09:44] <lovinglinux> hischild: you are the knig :-)
[09:44] <lovinglinux> king :-)
[09:44] <mars_> any ruby developer here?
[09:44] <php6th> Help!!! how to enable rewrite module in apache2 ??
[09:44] <scream_sayonara> yeah theyre both ON here
[09:44] <_coredump_> davetarmac, with -X you enable an X proxy so programms will pop up on yur local box from the remote host
[09:45] <scream_sayonara> i booted into vista and im on here, but when i boot into ubuntu, no networks come up for me to connect to
[09:45] <cool_penguin> Ok, this is how my old sources.list looked like
[09:45] <cool_penguin> # See sources.list(5) for more information, especialy
[09:45] <cool_penguin> # Remember that you can only use http, ftp or file URIs
[09:45] <cool_penguin> # CDROMs are managed through the apt-cdrom tool.
[09:45] <cool_penguin> deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hardy main restricted
[09:45] <cool_penguin> deb-src http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hardy main restricted
[09:45] <FloodBot1> cool_penguin: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[09:45] <davetarmac> _coredump_: ah right
[09:45] <mars_> scream_sayonara: when you boot your laptop do you have to decide which to boot into? like option 1: ubuntu 2: windows vista?
[09:45] <scream_sayonara> obviously my hardware all works
[09:45] <scream_sayonara> yes
[09:45] <php6th> helo?
[09:45] <_coredump_> ehlo?
[09:45] <mars_> scream_sayonara: ok you got me confused first.
[09:45] <cabrioleur> cool_penguin, you will have to pastebin !pastebin
[09:45] <php6th> Help!!! how to enable rewrite module in apache2 ??
[09:45] <mars_> scream_sayonara: then you have to find the adequate driver.
[09:46] <cool_penguin> How can that be done?
[09:46] <ahboi> i think Ubuntu 8.04 cli is broke? but i dont understand why isolinux.cfg would be missing the menu label cli?
[09:46] <cool_penguin> I am very new to IRC
[09:46] <cabrioleur> !pastebin | cool_penguin
[09:46] <mars_> scream_sayonara: your problem is that your laptop is brandnew. that means noone has done that for you.
[09:46] <scream_sayonara> driver for what? the wireless hardware?
[09:46] <mars_> scream_sayonara: yes
[09:46] <cabrioleur> scream_sayonara, ndiswrapper :-) booyah
[09:47] <cool_penguin> ok, thats how my old sources.list looked like http://paste.ubuntu.com/40113/
[09:47] <scream_sayonara> i dont know what that means...
[09:47] <mars_> scream_sayonara: i suggest you look what it is called and then search for ubuntu ndiswrapper howto
[09:47] <scream_sayonara> ok thanks
[09:47] <davetarmac> cabrioleur: I've just tried using Terminal Server Client, connecting to the server but I get an error saying No Matching Security Types - you seen this before?
[09:48] <cool_penguin> Does this old sources.list look bad?
[09:48] <cabrioleur> davetarmac, unmark ssl on server side (if you don't care about security right now) and try again
[09:48] <Theaxiom> Anyone here know how to add CakePHP to my $PATH? CakePHP is located in /var/www
[09:48] <lovinglinux> ubottu: I'm using ChatZilla extension for Firefox. Do you know if there is a way to integrate the paste into the channel?
[09:49] <lovinglinux> I'm so stupid, he is a bot
[09:49] <illuminate> quick question... after install conky.. is there a "setup" button, or.. link.. or is it all terminal?
[09:49] <lars_> good lord I mixed this drink too strongly
[09:49] <davetarmac> cabrioleur: need SSL as it's also the mail server. is there a way around it - or more accurately - to use SSL to connect?
[09:49] <lars_> looks like nobody here will take a sec to help
[09:49] <illuminate> alrighty
[09:49] <php6th> wth.... apache2 configuraion files are splited everywhere
[09:50] <rtz3673> lars_: don't drink and root
[09:50] <lars_> rtz3673, hahaha, I'm not planning on it...I just need to find out where and how to change the classpath so I can access common classes for java
[09:51] <rtz3673> lars_: sorry, i don't even have java installed
[09:51] <illuminate> Neverind about conky.. haha... that God for the ubuntu page!
[09:51] <cool_penguin> Thanks a lot guys for all your help and patience
[09:51] <lars_> rtz3673, yeah, nobody here is too keen on helping out with that one
[09:51] <cool_penguin> Bye and Have a nice day. Cheers for Ubunut
[09:51] <cool_penguin> Ubuntu
[09:53] <Seveas> good morning
[09:53] <Seveas> (or good whichever time of the day it is near you)
[09:53] <rtz3673> Seveas: 'morning
[09:53] <rtz3673> Seveas: 10:53am here
[09:53] <Seveas> rtz3673, same TZ as me ;)
[09:53] <rtz3673> Seveas: hehe
[09:54] <cabrioleur> davetarmac, change the viewer to one that can use encryption (it's required by mac vnc)
[09:54] <AnemicCarrot> hi, folk :D
[09:54] <Seveas> lars_, set the CLASSPATH variable in /etc/environment and log out and log back in
[09:54] <davetarmac> cabrioleur: do you have a client in mind?
[09:54] <Seveas> cabrioleur, vinagre? xvncviewer?
[09:54] <Seveas> err, davetarmac*
[09:56] <mikele> Hi, I would mount partition sda1, I write "sudo mount /dev/sda1" but appear this output "don't find in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab"!! Why?
[09:57] <cabrioleur> davetarmac, sorry, Seveas gave you answers.
[09:57] <lars_> Seveas, I'll need a more detailed description, I'm pretty new
[09:57] <Seveas> mikele, you need to either add it to /etc/fstab or tell mount where you want /dev/sda1 to be mounted
[09:57] <Seveas> lars_, ok, open etc environment in an editor as root: gksudo gedit /etc/environment
[09:58] <davetarmac> cabrioleur, Seveas: just tried xvncviewer and I get the 'No mathcing security types' message still
[09:58] <rabi> mikele: you need to provide mount point.
[09:58] <davetarmac> vinagre just told me that the connection was closed
[09:58] <Seveas> lars_, and add a line at the end of that file that says: CLASSPATH="/home/lars/java"
[09:58] <Seveas> replacing /home/lars/java with the correct path of course
[09:58] <rabi> mikele: make a dir: sudo mkdir /media/sdaone/
[09:58] <mikele> ok...mmm... sudo mount /dev/sda1 /home
[09:58] <mikele> ok...
[09:58] <Seveas> mikele, now that is a BAD idea
[09:59] <rabi> mikele: you can't mount into home.
[09:59] <lars_> Seveas...but how far do I go with the path? Where do I find out exactly what I'd type for the classpath?
[09:59] <mikele> okok sorry
[09:59] <rabi> kikele: make a new directory.
[09:59] <Seveas> rabi, well, you can. But it'll bring nothing but trouble if you do it this way ;)
[09:59] <mikele> ok sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/sdaone
[09:59] <Seveas> lars_, where are the .class files stored you wish to add?
[10:00] <mikele> ?
[10:00] <lars_> Seaveas, no clue
[10:00] <rabi> mikele: yah.
[10:00] <MrNaz`> when i installed ubuntu 8.04 it came with kernel 2.6.16 but has updated to 2.6.19   however both kernels show up in my boot menu... i dont like this... how do i remove the old kernel from the boot menu ?
[10:00] <Seveas> lars_, err, now you're confisung me
[10:00] <Seveas> confusing even
[10:00] <Dr_willis> learning how to properly 'mount' filesystems - :) is a top 10 item to learn  In my list of things to teach new linux users.
[10:00] <ce_baek> hiii
[10:00] <rabi> mikele: to mount permanently you need to add the value into /etc/fstab
[10:01] <lars_> Seveas, what I'm looking at right now is /home/lars/jdk1.6.0_10 followed by a lot of stuff that I have no idea about
[10:01] <Seveas> ah!
[10:01] <bdunlap> nice of someone to ban me from offtopic even though i promptly quit talking and left.
[10:01] <bazhang> bdunlap, #ubuntu-ops
[10:01] <_coredump_> MrNaz`, deinstall the old kernel packages or remove the entries from your /boot/grub/menu.lst
[10:01] <Seveas> lars_, ok, you're going at this problem completely wrong. There's no need to manually install java
[10:01] <aLeSD> do u know how could I figure out the address of my sound cards ?  (ex. hw:0)
[10:01] <ompaul> bdunlap, you are offtopic for there
[10:01] <bdunlap> oh forget it.
[10:01] <MrNaz`> _coredump_ how do i deinstall the old kernel ? can i do that in synaptic ?
[10:01] <scream_sayonara> when im downloading the ndiswrapper packages, should they be html documents? i cant figure out how to actualy download the files :(
[10:02] <lars_> ok Seveas...I also had it through apt-get, though I have no idea where apt-get put it
[10:02] <_coredump_> Mr_Shark, dunno i use dpkg for it
[10:02] <_coredump_> on cli
[10:02] <Seveas> lars_, it doesn't matter where apt-get puts it. You can simply use it.
[10:02] <MrNaz`> _coredump_ well how do you do it?
[10:02] <Seveas> lars_, what is the original problem you're trying to solve? Is java misbehaving on your pc?
[10:02] <_coredump_> MrNaz`, dpkg -l | grep -i linux shows you all installed kernel packages
[10:03] <mikele> rabi: what line i must add?
[10:03] <_coredump_> MrNaz`, then you can simply apt-get remove them
[10:03] <lars_> Seveas, I try to call import.util.Scanner and when I compile it won't call it
[10:03] <MrNaz`> aah
[10:03] <Seveas> _coredump_, dpkg -l 'linux*' | grep ^ii
[10:03] <Seveas> :)
[10:03] <MrNaz`> well yea i'll just do it with synaptic then
[10:03] <MrNaz`> _coredump_ thanks
[10:03] <rabi> mikele: what type of partition is this? ie. sda1?
[10:03] <Seveas> lars_, what's the output of the command: java -version
[10:04] <mikele> sda1 is fat32, sda2 ext3 (I now are in sdb)
[10:04] <mikele> am*
[10:05] <lars_> Seveas, http://paste.ubuntu.com/40114/
[10:05] <gcosmin> when I plug in my headphones I can't hear a thing
[10:05] <Seveas> lars_, as I expected, you have openjdk installed instead of (or next to) sun java. That's probably messing with you
[10:06] <gcosmin> can some one help me pls ?
[10:06] <lars_> so Seveas...how do I go about fixing this?
[10:06] <davetarmac> _coredump_: I have connected to the server using the -X attribute as you recommended, is it possible for me to get in to the System Preferences dialog box?
[10:06] <rabi> mikele: first make unique directory to mount each partition. eg. /media/sdaone, /media/sdatwo etc.
[10:06] <scream_sayonara> when you download a package, what sort of file is it supposed to be
[10:07] <Seveas> lars_, can you please run this command and give me the output: dpkg -l '*openjdk*' '*icedtea*' '*gcj*'
[10:07] <_coredump_> davetarmac, dunno the command to pop this dialog up, but does the X forwarding work in general? try starting an xterm or something first.
[10:07] <Dr_willis> scream_sayonara,  normally debian '.deb' packages  - but its best to let the package manager tools handle all the downloading
[10:07] <rabi> mikele: then add this line: /dev/sda1    /media/sdaone   vfat     defaults    0 0
[10:07] <Zubair> ﻿Hi ....Since i installed firestarter on my ubuntu hardy, i can no longer get Transmission BitTorrent client working. I ve tried to open the port by making an inbound policy, but still testing that port in Transmission preferences tells me "port closed"...
[10:07] <Seveas> scream_sayonara, you should be downloading it with the package managers and not even bother with filetypes ;)
[10:07] <mikele> mmm...can I use this name --> /media/sda1 - /media/sda2 ? or not numbers?
[10:07] <davetarmac> _coredump_: I'm new to this, how do I do that?
[10:07] <hcMyth> Hey how can I make an iso of the contents of a dvd?
[10:07] <hcMyth> or can I just copy it to a folder to watch it later?
[10:07] <scream_sayonara> Dr_willis but i am in vista right now trying to packages for my wireless card so i can actually get on the internet when i boot into ubuntu
[10:08] <rabi> mikele: better to change the name.
[10:08] <Dr_willis> hcMyth,  dd if=/dev/dvd of=filename.iso
[10:08] <Seveas> hcMyth, dd if=/dev/dvd of=/home/hcmyth/dvd.iso bs=4096
[10:08] <scream_sayonara> ive got the pages where the packages are, but all i can get is html files
[10:08] <Seveas> hcMyth, and then wait :)
[10:08] <Dr_willis> hcMyth,  you may want to use the blocksize option to speed things up :)
[10:08] <_coredump_> davetarmac, simply start an X application, if X frwarding works it pops up on your local machine
[10:08] <hcMyth> thanks
[10:08] <rabi> mekele: follow this tutorial.
[10:08] <Dr_willis> hcMyth,  copying the files to a directory will also work
[10:08] <mikele> rabi: why? (I am curious xD)
[10:08] <lars_> Seveas, http://paste.ubuntu.com/40116/
[10:08] <hcMyth> :)

[10:08] <davetarmac> _coredump_: I don't know any xterm apps on a Mac :s
[10:08] <rabi> mikele: or this http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Mount_Windows_partitions_(DOS,_FAT,NTFS)
[10:09] <_coredump_> davetarmac, im not familiar with mac os x

[10:09] <strawbeRRy_fieLd> hi guys, when i try to put youtube on full screen it doesnt let me, any idea?
[10:09] <Seveas> lars_, apt-get remove icedtea-gcjwebplugin openjdk-6-jre{,-lib,-headless}
[10:10] <Seveas> lars_, and then apt-get install sun-java6-plugin sun-java6-jdk
[10:10] <scream_sayonara> how am i supposed to use a package manager if my computer cant even connect to the internet
[10:10] <well_smith2> hi all
[10:10] <hcMyth> Hm yeah the iso file is slooooowly increasing in size.. guess i'll wait :)
[10:10] <Seveas> hcMyth, did you use bs=4096?
[10:10] <hcMyth> yes
[10:10] <well_smith2> i need some help with amanda backup server plz
[10:11] <Hamled> I've added myself to a group, however it doesn't show up on groups even after I logout and log back in
[10:11] <Seveas> ok, then just wait :)
[10:11] <well_smith2> any one gonna help me
[10:11] <scream_sayonara> surely everything i need to get on the internet should be included in the OS install bit
[10:11] <Dr_willis> scream_sayonara,  yep. its a catch-22 situation.  I dont use wireless only.. so i dont heve that issue. The ubuntu ftp sites may be the best place to get the packages.
[10:11] <Seveas> scream_sayonara, what are you missing?
[10:11] <hcMyth> Seveas: How bad is it without setting the blocksize.. wouldnt it automatically detect the blocksize of the disk?
[10:11] <scream_sayonara> ndiswrapper apparently
[10:11] <Seveas> hcMyth, blocksize means "how much shall dd read in one go"
[10:12] <lars_> Seveas, got it
[10:12] <hcMyth> ah, ic. thanks.
[10:12] <Dr_willis> ndiswrapper is a  the kind of wireless driver stuff you should try as a last resort. :)  or so i hear.
[10:12] <well_smith2> any one can help me in amanda backup server
[10:12] <DaveHere> hello, i need some advice
[10:12] <Seveas> by default it's one byte, which is rather slow as disk blocks are at least 512 bytes
[10:12] <Seveas> scream_sayonara, odd, I thought that was included on the cd
[10:12] <strawbeRRy_fieLd> hi guys, when i try to put youtube on full screen it doesnt let me, any idea?
[10:12] <Rhodetrem> I installed kernel 2.6.24-21-generic from backports yesterday and now my wireless has stopped working
[10:12] <Seveas> but it's been years since I needed it :)
[10:12] <Rhodetrem> any takers?
[10:12] <hcMyth> odd default setting
[10:12] <Dr_willis> hcMyth,  giving a block size can double the read speeds. :)
[10:12] <Seveas> Rhodetrem, yes, go back to normal kernel
[10:12] <scream_sayonara> well, i just bought a mew laptop with vista on, installed ubuntu inside vista and when i boot into ubuntu, my net connection doesnt come up for me to connect to
[10:12] <hcMyth> Anyway... bye then, bless you all :)
[10:12] <scream_sayonara> i hate windows
[10:12] <lars_> Seveas, now what?
[10:12] <DaveHere> hey can anyone help me
[10:12] <Dr_willis> hcMyth,   Up to a point.
[10:13] <scream_sayonara> i just want to be on ubuntu again
[10:13] <DaveHere> can anyone help me with my ubuntu issue
[10:13] <Seveas> lars_, run java -version agin

[10:14] <strawbeRRy_fieLd> nobody could help?
[10:14] <Seveas> lars_, that's again another java :)
[10:14] <Rhodetrem> seveas: 2.6.24-20-generic works fine (what I'm on now)
[10:14] <mikele> rabi: for the partition of swap is useless make a directory for mount?
[10:14] <Dr_willis> scream_sayonara,  you could look in the /etc/apt/sources.list and find the url to the ftp servers with the packages..
[10:14] <scream_sayonara> where is that list?
[10:14] <lars_> Seveas, I'm totally lost xD
[10:14] <well_smith2> any one can help in amanda ??????
[10:14] <DaveHere> I JUST WANTED TO KNOW HOW USER FRIENDLY UBUNTU-SERVER IS>? AND IS IT EASY TO SETUP A BASIC WEBSITE!!!
[10:15] <Seveas> lars_, run this to find out which java it is and give me the output: dpkg -S $(type java)
[10:15] <ompaul> !caps | DaveHere

[10:15] <scream_sayonara> in ubuntu? on the inernet? where?
[10:15] <Seveas> lars_, is it a lot?
[10:15] <Dr_willis> scream_sayonara,  thats the full path to the file on your ubuntu system
[10:15] <lars_> Seveas, the berlin wall of text
[10:15] <Seveas> hmm
[10:15] <wols_> ahboi: install 8.04  server
[10:16] <scream_sayonara> so i type in the terminal....
[10:16] <Seveas> lars_, mind if I pm you, it's getting somewhat crowded here
[10:16] <lars_> no prob Seveas
[10:16] <scream_sayonara> and then when i see the files that are supposed to be on there.... i do what with them?
[10:16] <rabi> mikele: yah. you r right.
[10:16] <_coredump_> lars_, berlin wall is quite small since 1989
[10:16] <mikele> ok
[10:16] <rtz3673> ahboi: use the minimal (netinstall) iso
[10:16] <_coredump_> i own a piece of it^^
[10:17] <Dr_willis> scream_sayonara,  that file has a list of all the repository servers.. Looking in mine  i see    http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/ all the package files shudl be there ... somewhere.
[10:17] <lars_> _coredump_ okay, pre 1980 Berlin Wall
[10:17] <rabi> ahboi: install server edition.
[10:17] <Dr_willis> scream_sayonara,  go download the ones you think you need..  then install with 'sudo dpkg -i whatever.deb'
[10:17] <wols_> scream_sayonara: simply go to packages.ubuntu.com. there you can download any package
[10:17] <well_smith2> is there any amanada help
[10:17] <well_smith2> ??????????????????????????????
[10:17] <well_smith2> plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
[10:17] <scream_sayonara> yeah Dr_willis, but through ubuntu, i cant connect to the repository servers
[10:17] <Dr_willis> or packages.ubuntu.com :) that one works also..
[10:17] <wols_> well_smith2: don't do this
[10:17] <scream_sayonara> cause i cant get on the ntwork
[10:17] <scream_sayonara> :(
[10:17] <ahboi> rtz3673 theres a problem, My computer is the eeepc 2g and the wireless isnt detected because of a dumb madwifi patch required to make this atheros chip set work
[10:17] <Dr_willis> scream_sayonara,  linux can read/write to the windows drives...
[10:18] <well_smith2> wols sorry iam new here
[10:18] <hwilde_> ahboi, eepc wireless works out of the box.
[10:18] <well_smith2> and i need some help
[10:18] <Dr_willis> scream_sayonara,  download from windows... boot to linux.. install the stuff
[10:18] <wols_> well_smith2: that doesn't excuse rude behaviour
[10:18] <rtz3673> ahboi: hmm
[10:18] <scream_sayonara> wols again, i have the pages in front of me that say "hre is the package" but all i can get is html files
[10:18] <scream_sayonara> which i assume arent the packages
[10:18] <hwilde_> !coc | well_smith2
[10:18] <wols_> scream_sayonara: wrong
[10:18] <well_smith2> sorry again for all
[10:18] <scream_sayonara> and only the pages with the packages on
[10:18] <wols_> scream_sayonara: what pages exactly?
[10:19] <ompaul> well_smith2, that is non trivial@ http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=2470030
[10:19] <scream_sayonara> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper
[10:19] <mikele> rabi: in the web-page of gentoo there aren't write nothing :-S whic word I must write for the partition ntfs??
[10:19] <hwilde_> !ndiswrapper | scream_sayonara
[10:19] <scream_sayonara> then they list the packages i need... then i click on the links, and the page is blank
[10:19] <wols_> scream_sayonara: just curious, what wlan chip?
[10:19] <hwilde_> scream_sayonara, just install through synaptic
[10:19] <rabi> just write ntfs.
[10:19] <ahboi> hwilde for what system?
[10:20] <wols_> scream_sayonara: those are NOT the pages you are looking for or the pages I and Dr_willis told you about. go to the proper ones
[10:20] <scream_sayonara> i have a sticker that says this: wireless 802.11abgn+BT
[10:20] <hwilde_> ahboi, did it work when you got it?
[10:20] <scream_sayonara> thats all i know
[10:20] <wols_> scream_sayonara: that is no chipß
[10:20] <rabi> mikele: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fstab
[10:20] <ahboi> when i install ubuntu no.
[10:20] <scream_sayonara> well it beats me then
[10:20] <wols_> scream_sayonara: then find out more before you install drivers you don't even know if they work
[10:20] <ahboi> i needed to install a patch to make it work.
[10:20] <hwilde_> ahboi, why did you do that when it works out of the box
[10:20] <scream_sayonara> last time i installed ubuntu it just worked,
[10:20] <hwilde_> ahboi, it comes with a system custom made for it
[10:20] <scream_sayonara> the wireless network came up and i connected
[10:20] <Zubair> hi...﻿Since i installed firestarter on my ubuntu hardy, i can no longer get Transmission BitTorrent client working. I ve tried to open the port by making an inbound policy, but still testing that port in Transmission preferences tells me "port closed"...
[10:20] <wols_> scream_sayonara: if it "Just worked" it doesn't use ndiswrapper
[10:21] <scream_sayonara> and everything was peachy... no on my OLD computer
[10:21] <scream_sayonara> i got a new laptop, i want ubuntu again
[10:21] <ahboi> hwilde_ i dont like xandros sorry and the limitation on it isnt quite consumer friendly
[10:21] <wols_> Zubair: why did you install firestarter at all?
[10:21] <scream_sayonara> and its not working
[10:21] <scream_sayonara> sigh
[10:21] <Dr_willis> scream_sayonara,  some of those docs may be out of date.    I would check out the forums and the exact chipset for your wireless card.
[10:21] <wols_> scream_sayonara: answer my question: what wlan chip
[10:21] <scream_sayonara> how do i tell what my wireless card is then?
[10:22] <Dr_willis> scream_sayonara,  if you some how determina what packages you need.. the url i gave will ahve the actual files..
[10:22] <mikele> rabi: Thankyou :) is very simple! But....mmm....why in the example of Wikipedia there is a directory "mnt" and I "fstab"?
[10:22] <Zubair> wols....people told me it will make my ubuntu secure
[10:22] <ahboi> but what i have put on it are the following debian. Ubuntu . eeepclos. Dreamlinux. Mandriva. its all fun and games but Ubuntu i like the most

[10:25] <KoRsY> Hi, is there a thing such as native widgets/controls for Ubuntu that I can use to port win32 applications to it?
[10:25] <hwilde_> !wine | KoRsY
[10:25] <Seveas> KoRsY, libwine should help
[10:25] <Zubair> thanks ﻿wols_
[10:26] <wols_> KoRsY: not really. how would "native widgets" help for windows widgets?
[10:26] <Seveas> KoRsY, but if you want to really port it (no windows api but a linux one), use gtk+ or Qt
[10:26] <Fargh_> hwilde_ I get that with 3 apps.  xchat is one of them
[10:26] <Seveas> KoRsY, or use wxwidgets, which allows you to use the same api on windows and linux
[10:26] <wols_> hwilde_: while libwine works it's universally despised
[10:26] <wols_> Seveas: so does gtk and Qt...
[10:27] <KoRsY> Seveas, I can not write GUI apps without using either GTK+ or Qt?
[10:27] <Seveas> wols_, wxwidgets is still better at that
[10:27] <wers> i have no more space for my root partition. i didnt expect that i'll be able to fill 10gb for that. what would you recommend for me to do? i already did apt-get clean
[10:27] <ahboi> thanks :)
[10:27] <wols_> KoRsY: you can use Xt the Xtoolkit but you really don't want to
[10:27] <mikele> /dev/sda1       /media/WinVistasda1      ntfs-3g     defaults 0 0 ok?
[10:27] <Dr_willis> wers,  you got space somewhere else?
[10:27] <wols_> mikele: no
[10:27] <wols_> !ntfs3g | mikele
[10:27] <Seveas> KoRsY, you can use wxwidgets, which wraps windows and linux api's, you can use the athena toolkit or tk, or raw xlib... gtk and qt are the prefered ones on linux though
[10:28] <hwilde_> wols_, he asked its not my fault :/
[10:28] <wers> Dr_willis, i got (little) space left in my home partition
[10:28] <KoRsY> so, there's no (native) API, I must use GTK+/Qt/wxWindows
[10:28] <ender80> http://paste.ubuntu.com/40132/
[10:28] <Dr_willis> wers,  well you could do some linking and move stuff to /home/SOMTHING but if you are full everywhere.. time to clean house.. or get a bigger hd.
[10:28] <ahboi> wols you should really remove that bot script line with it saying that wifi doesnt work with eeepc. i can give you a link that sets it all up....http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=387598
[10:28] <wols_> KoRsY: there is "native" APIs. the X toolkit. which you really do not want to use
[10:28] <ahboi> :)
[10:29] <rabi> mikele: just add ntfs no ntfs-3g
[10:29] <wols_> ahboi: I didn't set that line and I didn't give that line to anyone. you bark at the wrong tree
[10:29] <Seveas> KoRsY, what do you mean with "native"? gtk/qt is about as native as it gets unless you want your app to look like it was built in the 80's
[10:29] <mikele> rabi: ok
[10:29] <wols_> KoRsY: under *nix, "native" has not really any meaning
[10:30] <rabi> mikele: it ntfs-3g is seperate package that enables read/write support to ntfs.
[10:30] <wols_> mikele: only if you never want to write to your ntfs partition from linux
[10:30] <KoRsY> wols_, so, GTK/Qt calls those APIs?
[10:30] <ahboi> wols, i didnt mean to come off wrong if thats what you thought. Just saying that the line given to me was incorrect. Thats all :)
[10:30] <wols_> Qt and gtk call X intrinsics
[10:30] <KoRsY> my question is, what those libraries (GTK+, Qt,etc..) calls?
[10:30] <rtz3673> rabi: ntfs-3g is installed by default in ubuntu hardy
[10:30] <wols_> ahboi: and I didn't give you that line
[10:30] <rabi> rtz3673: mikele has not hardy.
[10:31] <Dreame1> hi guys
[10:31] <ahboi> wols your right sorry.
[10:31] <rtz3673> rabi: oh okay
[10:31] <Dreame1> can any help me solve my ubuntu prob
[10:31] <Dreame1> ?
[10:31] <ompaul> KoRsY, to get a better understanding you could have a look at this http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/library/os-gtk1/index.html
[10:31] <rebel_kid> im not sure if i have a 64 bit computer, correct me if im wrong but that refers strictly to the processor, if so then i think i do, is there a test?
[10:31] <wols_> KoRsY: from all your questins, Xt is the WRONG choice for you. kde has Qt as "native widgets" and gnome has gtk as "native".htat's it
[10:31] <illuminate> how do you change you computer name in ubuntu? lolol
[10:31] <hwilde_> illuminate, hostname
[10:31] <wols_> rebel_kid: cat /proc/cpuinfo
[10:31] <Dreame1> help! grub loading stage 1.5 error 22
[10:32] <wols_> Dreame1: you installed your grub wrongly
[10:32] <rtz3673> illuminate: edit /etc/hostname. and lolol is not needed here.
[10:32] <mikele> rabi: I use itrepid...i must go in Ubuntu+1 but I think that this problem is very simple....
[10:32] <hwilde_> !fixgrub | Dreame1
[10:32] <wols_> mikele: then go there. and yes you must. no other way around
[10:32] <Seveas> Dreame1, you have recently removed a disk?
[10:32] <Dreame1> i did try all post in forums but still doesnt work
[10:32] <MrNaz`> ive uninstalled kernel 2.6.24-16 but its still showing up in the boot menu... how do i remove it from grub?
[10:32] <rabi> mikele: r u using intrepid?
[10:32] <hwilde_> mikele, just follow links from the bot!
[10:32] <hwilde_> !fstab | mikele
[10:32] <wols_> MrNaz`: how did you uninstall it?
[10:32] <MrNaz`> wols_ with synaptic
[10:33] <Dreame1> 3 os b4, 1 vista, 1 feisty, 1 handy
[10:33] <illuminate> rtz3673, thanks!  and sorry!
[10:33] <wols_> MrNaz`: check your /etc/kernel-img.conf
[10:33] <rebel_kid> wols: thanks thats great but how do i know if its 64 bit, it doesnt say
[10:33] <Dreame1> den i delete the feisty partition
[10:33] <wols_> rebel_kid: check for "lm" cpu flag
[10:33] <KoRsY> wols_, so, if I used GTK+, it'll look native under GNOME, but not under KDE?
[10:33] <Dreame1> after i delete thats d problem grub loading stage 1.5 error 22
[10:33] <rebel_kid> wols: positive
[10:33] <MrNaz`> wols_ what am i looking for in it?
[10:33] <wols_> Dreame1: your grub was probably on feisty. reinstall grub as you've been told
[10:33] <claws> Hey guys.. suddenly my firefox stopped working. I mean the forward,back,reload,stop  buttons are inactive (in menu also they are inactive). I'm using firefox 3 on ubuntu - gonme. I tried unstalling all addons first. and then re-installed firefox. still no change. what is wrong with this?
[10:34] <wols_> MrNaz`: update-grub kernel hook
[10:34] <MrNaz`> wols_ i dont see a line with that
[10:34] <wols_> KoRsY: yes
[10:34] <rebel_kid> wols: that mean i have 64 or that i have 32
[10:34] <Dr_willis> claws,  'reinstalling' is windows thinking.. try making a new user and see if it works with the new user.
[10:34] <MrNaz`> wols_ oh wait yes i do
[10:34] <wols_> MrNaz`: that is the problem.
[10:34] <wols_> MrNaz`: ok, what does the line say?
[10:34] <Kartagis> how do I stop NetworkManager from modifying resolv.conf?
[10:34] <Dreame1> i did try to install grab but it has an error
[10:34] <MrNaz`> wols_  i see postrm_hook and postinst_hook

[10:45] <mikele> ok
[10:45] <well_smith2> wols
[10:45] <_coredump_> Kartagis, something like that http://paste.ubuntu.com/40144/
[10:45] <well_smith2> lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 2008-08-20 14:00 /var/backups/.amandahosts -> /etc/amandahosts
[10:46] <Dreame1> wols, how about the linux swap? thats different?
[10:46] <well_smith2> wol_s this is in the clinet side
[10:46] <hwilde_> Dreame1, reinstall
[10:46] <well_smith2> so do u have any solution
[10:46] <wols_> Dreame1: yes that's something different. very different. you don't have linux installed
[10:47] <_coredump_> well_smith2, so do sudo chmod 600 /var/backups/.amandahosts and /etc/amandahosts
[10:47] <well_smith2> ok
[10:47] <well_smith2> wait
[10:47] <wols_> _coredump_: making the file accessible to root only. do you think amanda runs as root? not to mention why chnage the perms of a symlink?
[10:47] <Mr_Fixit> can someone suggest a app to compress avi's for my mobile phone??
[10:48] <wols_> Mr_Fixit: you cannot compress. only reencode
[10:48] <Dreame1> how did it happened? hmmm.... do have 3 OS b4, 1 vista, 1 7.04 and 1 8.04 it works fine before i delete the 7.04
[10:48] <wols_> Mr_Fixit: and it depends on the phone's supported codecs what you can use
[10:48] <_coredump_> wols_, ok so he should chmod to the amanda user
[10:48] <wols_> Dreame1: how many disks?
[10:48] <_coredump_> *chown of course
[10:48] <Mr_Fixit> windows mobile lmao
[10:48] <wols_> Dreame1: I told you, your 7.04 had the grub files. now that is gone
[10:48] <Dreame1> 1 hd sata only
[10:48] <Gilnim> !server
[10:48] <wols_> Dreame1: then you deleted ALL linux
[10:49] <wols_> Dreame1: not just feisty
[10:49] <wols_> Dreame1: as hwilde_ said: reinstall ubuntu
[10:49] <well_smith2> coredump the same error here it didn't make sense
[10:49] <well_smith2> so
[10:49] <well_smith2> what can i do
[10:49] <well_smith2> ?
[10:49] <Dreame1> will it affect my vista if i reinstall ubuntu?
[10:49] <wols_> well_smith2: you can stop misusing the enter key for starters
[10:49] <wols_> Dreame1: no
[10:50] <wols_> unless you botch it. so read the docs about installing carefully
[10:50] <wols_> !install
[10:51] <Dreame1> do u know how to let my vista work? problem right now can enter into an os
[10:51] <hwilde_> wols_, or install for first time lol

[10:51] <luckyhell> Hello, my first time here. Could someone please tell me, how to decrease pictures, so send them faster by email? Ubuntuusers.de is down.
[10:51] <wols_> hwilde_: he cannot fix anything without a linux
[10:51] <hwilde_> luckyhell, in gimp
[10:51] <hwilde_> wols_, he could install grub to mbr and point it @ vista
[10:52] <Dr_willis> luckyhell,  you could edit them in gimp and resize them
[10:52] <wols_> mikele: this will give you read only access only
[10:52] <wols_> hwilde_: no he cannot
[10:52] <luckyhell> ah, thank you
[10:52] <hwilde_> luckyhell, and save as .png or .jpeg
[10:52] <hwilde_> wols_, no?

[10:53] <wols_> recovering windows MBR is doable. but this is a ubuntu support channel, not a windows one
[10:53] <rabi> mikele: yah

[10:53] <mikele> wols_: /dev/sda1       /media/WinVistasda1    ntfs,rw   defaults    0   0
[10:53] <Dr_willis> luckyhell,  resize them to be smaller..  and that will make the file size smaller.
[10:53] <mikele> NOW?
[10:53] <hwilde_> wols_, if hes trying to do it with ubuntu live cd, and it was working before he tried to install ubuntu, then we can atleast point him to a link
[10:54] <wols_> mikele: will not work. ever. "ntfs" cannot write to ntfs partitions. never will. you must use ntfs3g for read/write access
[10:54] <luckyhell> OK, rezize them sound logically. It is to be done in gimp, right?
[10:54] <anujsingh> one of my friend updated his ubuntu, and after reboot he is getting wait (a clock) only,
[10:54] <hwilde_> !ntfs-3g > mikele
[10:54] <anujsingh> what can be the possible cause?
[10:54] <hwilde_> anujsingh, disable acpi ?
[10:54] <Dr_willis> luckyhell,  gimp is one editor.. theres proberly a dozen ways to do it...
[10:54] <anujsingh> i am asking him, just a moment,
[10:55] <master_alvaro_> is it possible to have worked WiFi PCI card (atheros) in  "802.11n draft" mode? does madwifi support it? or only (ath5k or ath9k) has support  "802.11n draft" mode?
[10:55] <wols_> mikele: ath9k only
[10:55] <luckyhell> OK, thank you. It's easy here... :)
[10:55] <wols_> master_alvaro_: ^^
[10:55] <anujsingh> hwlde_: but a upgrade should not change passed kernel parameters, before upgrade his laptop was working fine,
[10:56] <hwilde_> master_alvaro, http://madwifi.org/ticket/1001
[10:56] <master_alvaro_> wols_: does ath9k has support for AP (Access Point) mode?
[10:56] <hwilde_> anujsingh, if you use kopt in menu.lst it will work right... if you add to kernel line manually it will not work right
[10:56] <wols_> master_alvaro_: no clue. it'S very early in dev and not usable in ubuntu
[10:56] <anujsingh> i asked him for /var/log/messages, X* and gdm* files.
[10:56] <rebel_kid> is there a ubuntu program for internet based remote access?
[10:57] <wols_> rebel_kid: lots. vino , vnc, etc
[10:57] <hwilde_> anujsingh, menu.lst for real.  disable acpi.  put it in kopt wont lose it next kernel update.
[10:57] <hwilde_> rebel_kid, ssh.
[10:57] <rebel_kid> wols: u r a wealth of information, any simpler than others
[10:57] <rtz3673> master_alvaro_: the mac80211 wireless stack does not have AP support yet, so ath*k (which uses the stack) neither
[10:58] <master_alvaro_> wols_: is 802.11n draft compatible back with b/g modes? can i use PC in n mode and laptop in g mode?
[10:58] <master_alvaro_> rtz3673: ok, thx
[10:58] <anujsingh> hwilde_: can we pass 'disable acpi' at the boot time, on rhel i press e at the grub screen and can pass the parameters? same thing with ubuntu?
[10:58] <wols_> anujsingh: yes you can. but the parameter is not "disable acpi"
[10:59] <rtz3673> anujsingh: acpi=off
[10:59] <anujsingh> ok, just a moment.
[10:59] <wols_> master_alvaro_: dunno, but it is all moot. ubuntu has no usable support for n
[10:59] <hwilde_> anujsingh, yes press e.  then edit your menu.lst and put it in kopt
[10:59] <master_alvaro_> wols_: ok, i use debian
[10:59] <master_alvaro_> thanks a lot ;-)
[10:59] <wols_> master_alvaro_: that's nice. you're in the wrong channel go away
[11:00] <hwilde_> wols_, gettin cranky
[11:00] <hwilde_> need breakfast burritos
[11:00] <wols_> hwilde_: no
[11:00] <hwilde_> and hashbrowns
[11:03] <anujsingh> he is telling about, not able to start default kde-manager something like that, i asked him for /var/log/messages to send.
[11:03] <anujsingh> if he can get kde-manage.... message then acpi should not be an issue?
[11:03] <croppa> appart from rebooting what can you do to check if a change to fstab works?
[11:03] <hwilde_> croppa, reboot
[11:04] <niku66> ciao
[11:04] <croppa> Thanks however I thought there may be another way :-)
[11:05] <anujsingh> in ubuntu, where are the logs related to upgrade? is it default /var/log/messages or something else? something like /var/log/yum.log ?
[11:07] <l3d> ok I am trying to play diablo 2  but everything looks ok till the game menu when it should start it says input signle out of range any ideas on how to fix?
[11:08] <rebel_kid> l3d: what r u using to play it (wine, vmware, ect)
[11:08] <l3d> wine
[11:08] <Dr_willis> You may want to check the wine app database and see if any tweeks are needed for diablo2
[11:09] <Oli``> l3d: run it in a virtual desktop
[11:09] <Oli``> l3d: wine explorer /desktop=Diablo2,1880x1100 "C:\Diablo II\Diablo II.exe"
[11:09] <rebel_kid> l3d: wine doesnt work to well on games, they might have a tweak or something but u might be better off with full virtualization, i used to do it but i forgot what program i used, it was one that could run anything from mac to bsd to win, hmm ask somebody i forgot :)
[11:09] <Oli``> l3d: but change the resolution of the desktop to something your screens can handle, obviously
[11:09] <Dr_willis> egads.. can diablo 2 evenhandle that high of res? :)
[11:11] <Oli``> Dr_willis: no - but that's just what I use for all Wine desktop apps. It resizes to what Diablo's res is when it launches
[11:12] <Dr_willis> ok that makes a little more sence now. :)
[11:13] <Oli``> l3d: I use compiz to zoom in once it's loaded. And remember you'll want to turn off compiz's move plugin otherwise when you press alt (to see loot) you'll end up moving the screen
[11:13] <hwilde_> Oli``, so remap alt ?
[11:13] <Oli``> hwilde: no I just turn the move plugin off when I want to play D2
[11:16] <gge> Hello , what is best solution to install shockwaveFlash ?
[11:16] <hwilde_> !flash | gge
[11:17] <gge> thx , I'll look at the link
[11:17] <hwilde_> yes you will
[11:17] <hwilde_> or else!!
[11:19] <gge> hwilde , got the answer for hardy

[11:19] <hwilde_> anujsingh, see all those acpi and irq errors
[11:20] <Vinni3> hi
[11:20] <anujsingh> can we edit kernel parameters? in rhel i have /etc/grub.conf where i can change. what about ubuntu?
[11:21] <Vinni3> I've had kernal panics when playing flash movies using the adobe flash player
[11:21] <Vinni3> Does anyone know a fix?
[11:21] <Starnestommy> anujsingh: /boot/grub/menu.lst ?
[11:21] <Dr_willis> anujsingh,  uses same file basicially with some little changes.
[11:22] <Dr_willis> anujsingh,  watch out for the update-grub 'settings' that look like comments. :)
[11:23] <anujsingh> first i would prefer to take the backup of /boot/grub/menu.lst
[11:23] <Dr_willis> anujsingh,  alway a good idea to backup configs befor manually editing them. :)
[11:24] <anujsingh> yes.
[11:26] <anujsingh> cp /boot/grub/menu.lst /root
[11:26] <Dr_willis> anujsingh,  you proberly need a 'sudo' to put it there. :)
[11:27] <anujsingh> sudo cp /boot/grub/menu.lst /root/ ?
[11:27] <KoRsY> so, there's no such a thing as a native widget in linux, you simply use a GUI widget toolkit and it displays your app in its own terms, right?
[11:27] <dfccarrion> hello
[11:27] <Dr_willis> KoRsY,  ive never heard the term 'native widget' used with linux.
[11:28] <dfccarrion> i have a question about source code installs
[11:28] <anujsingh> Dr_willis: I asked him for /boot/grub/menu.lst file.
[11:28] <dfccarrion> anyone interested?
[11:28] <KoRsY> Dr_willis, sorry, I'm a windows user, everything comes with window
[11:29] <Dr_willis> KoRsY,  Linux dosent ahve to have a window. :) X runs on Linux, X has the windows and widgets and stuff.. and has dozens of 'tools' for every job you can imagine.
[11:30] <Dr_willis> KoRsY,  Linux is all about 'Layers and legos' :) little bits going together to make more layers.. and layers on top of that.
[11:30] <KoRsY> Dr_willis, so, I've to use a GUI toolkit (Qt/GTK/wxWindows) to create GUI apps, and it displays it they way it want, right?
[11:30] <Dr_willis> KoRsY,  it depends. You could always use some low level toolkit.  i imagine . but it all depends on what you are really wanting to do exactly.
[11:31] <Dr_willis> I rarely notice the differance in qt or gtk apps.. , now the old skool xlib based apps.. those can look nasty
[11:31] <anujsingh> this is the Xorg log http://pastebin.com/m157bf187
[11:31] <KoRsY> Dr_willis, trying to port some win32 apps to ubuntu, and want them to look 'native'
[11:32] <Dr_willis> KoRsY,  there is no 'native' :)  Pick what one you like. I imagine it dosent really matter.   if you want to have an app that runs both in windows and linux the same.. wxwindows may be the way to go.
[11:33] <Dr_willis> i havent done much programing in ages however. Other then simple scripts and  perl/python/toys
[11:33] <kinglx> ping
[11:34] <hansemann> hi. i have a problem with my pc, i have trouble with setting it to static ip
[11:34] <anujsingh> Dr_willis:   this is the  menu.lst  file http://pastebin.com/dfa0e446
[11:34] <geek_> i've got a ubuntu based laptop system running lxde (its the only thing that seems to run acceptably on that box) 128 mb ram, PIII coppermine 733 mhz- i seem to have a spike in processor usage whenever i start up a new terminal window.. any leads on where i cn start troubleshooting it?
[11:34] <Dr_willis> anujsingh,  err.. yea.. so what about it?  was there some issue with it?
[11:34] <dfccarrion> what have you tried hansemann?
[11:34] <Tarandus_> hello... how do I enable the sillier desktop effects, like markup, rotating cube, desktop previews, snow and rain and the like?
[11:35] <anujsingh> actually after an update, my friend is unable to get his desktop
[11:35] <ikonia> Tarandus_: use ccsm settings manager
[11:35] <Dr_willis> geek_,  a new term starts up a new shell.. and reads various configs, and executes a lot of little commands.. sounds normal to me.
[11:35] <geek_> Dr_willis: every time..
[11:35] <Tarandus_> ikonia: is it here already, or do I need to install someting?
[11:35] <ikonia> Tarandus_: install ccsm
[11:35] <anujsingh> #
[11:35] <anujsingh> # kernel        /vmlinuz root=/dev/hda2  acpi=off ro
[11:35] <hansemann> setting it in /etc/network/interfaces, setting it in the network-admin app, and it still wont connect to lan/internet
[11:35] <rebel_kid> geek: when u open a program shouldnt u expect to have a spike in processor usage as the program loads? or have i been at the computer too long to think
[11:36] <Dr_willis> geek_,  every time you start an app i would imagine you see a bit  of a spike.
[11:36] <ikonia> hansemann: what ip address are you assinging
[11:36] <LtForce> hello
[11:36] <hansemann> 192.168.1.110
[11:36] <geek_> rebel_kid: its from 0-100% and stays there for an extended period of time
[11:36] <geek_> between 30 seconds to a minute
[11:36] <ikonia> hansemann: does "ifconfig" show the card to have that address
[11:36] <LtForce> I have problems with Ubuntu and Windows LAN
[11:36] <anujsingh> hwlide_: , acpi=off pollirq routeirq
[11:36] <dfccarrion> first the obvious... you have rebooted right?
[11:36] <hansemann> yes
[11:36] <rebel_kid> geek: with only 733mhz of power, yeah prolly just normal
[11:36] <ikonia> hansemann: does "ifconfig" show the card to have that address
[11:36] <anujsingh> i got his menu.lst file http://pastebin.com/dfa0e446
[11:37] <LtForce> omg, this channel is fast
[11:37] <dfccarrion> no kidding LtForce
[11:37] <dfccarrion> it's Ubuntu man!  most popular distro!
[11:37] <rebel_kid> geek: try loading something bigger and see if u get a spike and how long it lasts, like try loading um... the open office word processor
[11:37] <hansemann> ikonia: yes, it shows eth2 inet addr:192.168.1.110
[11:37] <ubuntoo> is there any good s/w for making .doc files other than OpenOffice
[11:37] <Dr_willis> rebel_kid,  he will be lagged till next week! :)
[11:37] <ikonia> hansemann: ok - so your ip address is set correct, that is not your problem
[11:37] <geek_> rebel_kid: lol... firefox does it as well...
[11:38] <KiDFlaSh> PLS
[11:38] <KiDFlaSh> talk in private
[11:38] <ubuntoo> is there any good s/w for making .doc files other than OpenOffice ?
[11:38] <KiDFlaSh> sonst baller ich euch eine
[11:38] <dfccarrion> what are your symptoms hansemann?
[11:38] <Ahadiel_> ubuntoo, abiword, koffice, etc
[11:38] <dfccarrion> what exactly isn't working?
[11:38] <ikonia> KiDFlaSh: people will talk in the channel, you'll find it easier if you say the name of the person your speaking to before you type
[11:38] <rebel_kid> geek: my advice, try a smaller distro like puppy that uses less horsepower, or get a few more horses pulling the cart :)
[11:38] <hansemann> ill try to restart the router
[11:38] <ikonia> hansemann: check your gateway
[11:38] <ikonia> hansemann: check your dns settings
[11:38] <ikonia> hansemann: check your firewall
[11:38] <LtForce> I have a problem with Ubuntu and Windows LAN. I set up everything according to instructions. It sorta works, and I can acces my windows machines, but if none of the windows shared folders show up when I acces windows. Like nothing is shared, but I've shared some folders.
[11:39] <Tarandus_> I have a legally bought copy of M$ Office 2007 Home and Student... any chance running it with Wine in Hardy?
[11:39] <ubuntoo> Ahadiel _ thanks hopefulluy they dont affect the formatting much
[11:39] <geek_> rebel_kid: i suppose. i'd rather something debian based, with support for rt2500 wifi cards though
[11:39] <KiDFlaSh> ich baller dir eine
[11:39] <dfccarrion> hansemann: what exactly are you trying to do that isn't working, because it seems that your static IP is set up fine
[11:39] <ikonia> KiDFlaSh: english please
[11:39] <ikonia> !de | KiDFlaSh
[11:39] <KiDFlaSh> nice
[11:39] <xintron> Is it possible to change the name of a running screen (so that the number ie. 51280 turns into something readable, like irssi)?
[11:39] <KiDFlaSh> yes
[11:39] <ikonia> xintron: nope
[11:40] <geek_> rebel_kid: debian ran OK, but i'd need to get network set up, and i'm quite sure it'd be a pain without networking ;p
[11:40] <ikonia> xintron: it's always going to be tty.$number
[11:40] <xintron> ikonia: hrmm.. ok :/
[11:40] <Tarandus_> LtForce: and it doesn't ask you for a password anywhere?
[11:40] <LtForce> I have a problem with Ubuntu and Windows LAN. I set up everything according to instructions. It sorta works, and I can acces my windows machines, but none of the windows shared folders show up when I acces windows. Like nothing is shared, but I've shared some folders. Any suggestion?
[11:40] <DODO> lol
[11:40] <ikonia> xintron: I've looked for a solution many times
[11:40] <rebel_kid> geek: true, but their maybe a smaller distro that would work for ya, theres a thousand, if u r a geek like ur name im sure u r a google expert lol, u gotta balance speed with power, bigger is better but always slower
[11:40] <ikonia> xintron: if you find one, I'll be here - come and tell me
[11:40] <xintron> ikonia: I mean instead of 82157.pts-0.<host>, isn't it possible to change the first numbers?
[11:40] <dVs> what can i use to check for and fix bad blocks on my hdd ?
[11:40] <ikonia> xintron: I don't think so, I've tried many times
[11:41] <ikonia> xintron: as I said, if you find the solution, I'm all ears
[11:41] <ikonia> dVs: on the file system or the hard disk
[11:41] <xintron> ikonia: ok
[11:41] <rebel_kid> geek: ps, dont even try loading openoffice lol, by the time u got that up i could have taken a nap and gotten this stupid bot to work *tears hair out and screams at stupid bot that wont listen*
[11:41] <dVs> hard disk
[11:41] <ikonia> dVs: look at the command "badblocks"
[11:41] <dVs> i am trying to use gpart to move the filesystem to the left
[11:42] <rebel_kid> dvs: whats the problem, im sure ive had it b4 lol
[11:42] <dVs> and i'm getting an error saying cant read block whatever
[11:42] <dfccarrion> dvs: you're not trying to swtich partitions places, right?
[11:43] <ParoXoN> ikonia: use 'screen -S [sessionname] [cmd]' it'll show up as [pid].[sessionname] when you use screen -ls
[11:43] <dfccarrion> dvs: you're just trying to move it over into free space?
[11:43] <ParoXoN> ikonia: you can then use screen -r [sessionname]
[11:43] <rebel_kid> dvs: ok, clean up bad sectors on the disk and try again, and is it a internal, external, solid state, flash, or ...
[11:43] <dVs> i deleted windows and now have blank space on the left side of my hdd . .was going to move ubuntu over then resize ubuntu to take the rest of the partition
[11:43] <ikonia> ParoXoN: one moment, I'm just trying that
[11:43] <dVs> internal laptop drive
[11:44] <dfccarrion> dvs, you're trying to do this from and OS, or live disk?
[11:44] <dVs> live disk
[11:44] <dVs> ubuntu cd
[11:44] <dfccarrion> ok
[11:44] <ikonia> ParoXoN: that is mega, thankyou very much
[11:44] <rebel_kid> dvs: do a bad sector cleanup, dont remember how after 11 hours of programming, so ask someone else :) and then try the gparted live cd, not ubuntu
[11:44] <ParoXoN> ikonia: no problem ^.^
[11:45] <dfccarrion> dvs: listen to what rebel_kid said.
[11:45] <opt1k> hey.. did any of u used glc to record gameplay?
[11:45] <e2k> why does a cpu bar in conky show up fading from blue to black, even though I've got this in my conkyrc: ${cpugraph 20 000000 ffffff} ? that should do the trick afaik..
[11:45] <dVs> so the command 'badblocks' ?
[11:45] <dfccarrion> dvs: also, double check that nothing is mounted, and that you've unswapped swaps
[11:45] <wols_> dVs: smartmontools long test
[11:45] <wols_> command is smartctl
[11:46] <wols_> dVs: no badblocks not the right one
[11:46] <dVs> you mean like external drives
[11:46] <dfccarrion> dvs: yes, i'm just making sure that nothing is mounted or swapon that might be giving you trouble
[11:46] <MetalPhreak> Hi guys. Got an annoying issue here. Copying ~200gb of files from a ext3 raid5 array onto an XFS raid5 array, and after a random amount of time, the file trasfer freezes. Nothing else can be transfered again, canceling it fails, and I need to reboot to do anything again
[11:46] <dfccarrion> but it seems that you've got badblocks
[11:47] <MetalPhreak> even the shutdown fails :/
[11:47] <opt1k> can anyone of u pm me if u've been using glc to record gameplay?
[11:47] <MetalPhreak> happens the same copying from NTFS drive to raid array too
[11:47] <MetalPhreak> command line cp command does the same
[11:47] <dVs> so run smartctl from where ?
[11:47] <rebel_kid> wols: btw, i havent worked with bad disks too much and mines almost dead (spinning hard), im running on live till the new one gets here any suggestions on how to clean it up or prep it for the copy to give it a better chance of surviving long enough
[11:47] <rebel_kid> dvs: terminal i think
[11:48] <dfccarrion> dvs: terminal
[11:48] <dVs> from a live cd ? or right now ?
[11:48] <dfccarrion> reble_kid, he should make sure that he runs gpart in the terminal first right?
[11:48] <dVs> sorry guys
[11:48] <wols_> rebel_kid: keep it cool, don't power it on
[11:48] <MetalPhreak> anyone got any ideas while file transfers completely crashes?
[11:49] <dfccarrion> dvs: no worries man
[11:49] <wols_> MetalPhreak: hardware issue
[11:49] <dfccarrion> we've all dealt with partition problems
[11:49] <rebel_kid> wols: yeah its off, but i meant when i get the new one and im ready to copy, is their anything i can do to help it? some ppl say freeze for 10 min, some say do bad sector cleanup, some say dont do bad sector cleanup
[11:49] <dfccarrion> dvs: I myself have reformatted many times due to previous mistakes
[11:49] <redleer> whats wrong when i get checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables when trying to configure something?
[11:49] <anujsingh> is this option correct in /boot/grub/menu.lst
[11:50] <anujsingh> # kernel        /vmlinuz root=/dev/hda2  acpi=off pollirq routeirq ro
[11:50] <dfccarrion> dvs: so try running the command from the live cd
[11:50] <dfccarrion> dvs: in the terminal
[11:50] <wols_> rebel_kid: no. it's a gamble
[11:51] <nyu_> I just wanted to say thank you for your help before, I got to install ubuntu finally. Still have minor problems with a partition table, but else its installed. You were a great help, thanks :)
[11:51] <rebel_kid> wols: figures ill just pray and beg to the hardware gods
[11:51] <wols_> anujsingh: not a ubuntu menu.lst entry at all
[11:51] <dfccarrion> dvs: remember, if you're unfamiliar with the command, make sure to man it
[11:51] <dVs> ok gonna reboot and give it a shot
[11:51] <dVs> thankx again
[11:51] <dfccarrion> no worries man
[11:51] <rebel_kid> dvs: good luck, were here if u need more help
[11:51] <rebel_kid> dvs: i got nothing to do lol
[11:51] <dVs> nice ..
[11:51] <dVs> ok i got a real good one for you guys when i get back
[11:52] <dfccarrion> dvs: there's a reason I'm on and IRC forum at 3AM on a sunday morning

[11:54] <GreenmanX> hi
[11:54] <ikonia> anujsingh: ug 24 07:24:19 sandeep-laptop gnome-power-manager: (sandeep) GNOME interactive logout. Reason: The power button has been pressed.
[11:54] <mar1> trying to install drivers for radeon hd 4850
[11:54] <GreenmanX> can someone help me with a raid1-installation?
[11:54] <mar1> would anyone mind giving me some help
[11:54] <anujsingh> ikonia: he rebooted too, then too he is unable to get his desktop
[11:54] <mar1> would be much appreciated :-[
[11:55] <ikonia> anujsingh: what do you mean "unable to get his desktop"
[11:55] <ikonia> anujsingh: what happens exactly
[11:55] <anujsingh> he is saying he gets a wait clock only,
[11:55] <anujsingh> after he upgraded his ubuntu laptop.
[11:55] <ikonia> anujsingh: at what point, after he logs in via gdm or before
[11:56] <anujsingh> gdm is not coming.
[11:56] <ikonia> anujsingh: ok - so boot into recovery mode, look at the syslog, and the gdm log and the xorg log
[11:56] <anujsingh> ikonia: his X log http://pastebin.com/m157bf187
[11:56] <ikonia> anujsingh: is that from before or after it won't display the desktop
[11:57] <anujsingh> before.
[11:57] <MetalPhreak> is there any alternative to the standard cp/mv tools?
[11:58] <ikonia> anujsingh: so thats no use to me
[11:58] <ikonia> anujsingh: thats before a problem, so thats a "working" log
[11:58] <anujsingh> i have all his logs, one moment please.
[11:58] <anujsingh> i am not sure about before or after.
[11:59] <ikonia> anujsingh: his logs from before are pointless
[11:59] <hansemann> does someone know of a app for webmin that shows total download/upload? like the DUmeter totals
[11:59] <ikonia> hansemann: webmin is not supported by ubuntu

[12:04] <ikonia> anujsingh: why ?

[12:07] <gaurav> can anyone tell me how to access local network computers
[12:07] <ikonia> anujsingh: the boot line in the pastebin looks fine
[12:07] <anujsingh> so i want to edit that pastebin file. want to change parameters passed to ketnel at boot time.
[12:07] <ikonia> anujsingh: what makes you think you need to change the parameters ?
[12:08] <ikonia> anujsingh: his desktop is not loading, the kernel is still booting fine, so why do you feel you need to change the boot options
[12:08] <anujsingh> someone here, earlier told me to change those parameters.
[12:08] <ikonia> anujsingh: I'd look at why your not getting the desktop rather than random kernel parameter
[12:09] <anujsingh> yes ikonia: which other logs can help?
[12:09] <ikonia> anujsingh: the syslog, the Xlog, the GDM log
[12:09] <ikonia> anujsingh: what video card does he have ?
[12:10] <anujsingh> ikonia: his laptop was working fine before upgrade, i am asking for all those logs.
[12:10] <ikonia> anujsingh: exactly, his laptop was working fine before the upgrade, so the changes are the kernel boot options are fine
[12:11] <anujsingh> yes? should i ask him to change menu.lst? as i asked earlier?
[12:11] <geek_> hmm
[12:11] <ikonia> anujsingh: why ?
[12:11] <ikonia> anujsingh: are you listening ?
[12:11] <anujsingh> yes i am listening.
[12:11] <Flynsarmy> Hi. powertop recommends i type sudo hciconfig hci0 down ; rmmod hci_usb but when i do it says 'ERROR: Removing 'hci_usb': Operation not permitted'.
[12:11]  * geek_ seems to recall a similar issue mentioned on his (former) lug list
[12:11] <ikonia> anujsingh: I've just said the kernel boot lines are probably fine, and you keep saying you want to change the boot options to add boot options
[12:11] <anujsingh> ok,
[12:12] <Cutter> what about intrepid's wallpaper?
[12:12] <Flynsarmy> dw got it
[12:12] <gaurav> any one can help me in intranetworking
[12:12] <ikonia> Cutter: what about it ?
[12:12] <Cutter> are you going to change it from the current one?
[12:12] <anujsingh> sorry about that, i am asking him /var/log/X*, /var/log/GDM* and /var/log/syslog* ?
[12:12] <ikonia> Cutter: ask in #ubuntu+1
[12:12] <ikonia> Cutter: it's still in development
[12:12] <anujsingh> these files are correct? i never worked on ubuntu.
[12:12] <Cutter> the current one is very nice but I don't see anything better at the wiki
[12:12] <ikonia> anujsingh: then can certainly help
[12:13] <ikonia> Cutter: ask in #ubuntu+1 - it's still in development at the moment so things will change
[12:13] <vnix> I just setup a shared printer using samba. MY computer found that printer and successfully add the driver but it's not printing.

[12:25] <mar1> i was wondering if anyone would mind helping me install an ati linux driver?
[12:25] <xess> Howdy. I am working on trying to allow one computer to go through my other nic (eth1) and out into the internet with via my WIFI (eth2). So I have finally got a handle on how to do this. I set the client and eth1 (on the internet connected box) to static IP addresses so as to avoid working with DHCP. Then I started playing with my IP tables. I don't really know what most of it means I am Copy Pasting from a walk through.  I got this far:
[12:25] <xess> xess@xess-desktop:~$ sudo iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth1 -j MASQUERADE xess@xess-desktop:~$ echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward bash: /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward: Permission denied xess@xess-desktop:~$ sudo echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward bash: /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward: Permission denied xess@xess-desktop:~$ iptables-save > /etc/iptables.rules bash: /etc/iptables.rules: Permission denied xess@xess-desktop:~$ sudo iptables-s
[12:25] <xess> I know I made it so far... Any way my question is why do I not have permission? How do I fix this?

[12:36] <xess> amdfox Hang tights. let me see what I did...
[12:36] <Swan_> I want to allocate an extra 50GB to my Windows partition
[12:37] <anujsingh> so i think his default display manager is changed, after he upgraded.
[12:37] <Swan_> But because my ReiserFS Linux partition is mounted, I can't resize it easily
[12:37] <amdfox> thanks alot xess
[12:37] <amdfox> iam waiting

[12:40] <dipen> my sound stops after working for sometime and then I have to restart my X server to bring it back, I think some application is locking it down or something.
[12:40] <dipen> Is there a way to restart just ALSA
[12:40] <dipen> and not the whole X
[12:40] <dipen> and is there any log file for sound?
[12:40] <xess> amdfox, I think that mplayer is the winner for this one.
[12:40] <gaurav> well i need to connect local printers and sys which all are win based and when i open the local compter dey come with doller sign and i am not able to acess dem as it ask for passowrd which is not able to connect

[12:41] <xess> amdfox, synaptic/ serch for mplayer. I am going to check for extra packages that I may have installed.

[12:42] <gaurav> yes
[12:42] <gaurav> em using samba

[12:43] <dipen> it picks up
[12:44] <kcman> how do i check to see if my video drivers are up to date?
[12:44] <Swan_> There should be packages like xorg-driver-fglrx and xserver-xorg-video-ati

[13:09] <hischild> gaurav, if you want to edit something that has system wide impact, you always need root access for it.
[13:09] <dipen> sudo gedit samba.conf
[13:09] <Mic__hael> thanks hwilde
[13:09] <drea1> question: how can i merge 2 unallocated partition?
[13:09] <shiman> Johnny_5: synaptic

[13:11] <hateball> Agion: Firefox in Wine and then there

[13:12] <jforman> hello all. has anyone gotten usb devices to work inside qemu/libvirt guests? i am wondering how one might do this
[13:13] <bobbob1016> I'm looking for a way to convert a .cdr file to a .iso.  The forums say to use bchunk, but it only says it does .bin and .cue to .iso.  Any ideas on how I can do .cdr to .iso?
[13:13] <knife> jforman: inside qemu? argh the brain hurts to even think about it
[13:13] <hateball> Agion: There is no shockwave for linux, so you have to install the windows version of firefox in wine and use that to install
[13:13] <Agion> dipen: how can I have it? I haven't even installed it... flash is different from this according to my knowledge?
[13:13] <dipen> as for non comercial if ur desperate to not play in firefox .. try gnash http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/gnash/
[13:13] <Agion> hateball: ok. thanx ^^
[13:13] <jforman> knife: yes, i agree. but it seems assinine to need a seperate physical windows machine when i just want to connect some devices to a windows instance running virtually. i take it you have no clue the
[13:13] <dipen> Agion: what are ur file extensions? for the games?
[13:14] <Agion> ??
[13:14] <hischild> dipen, he's trying to use shockwave, not flash.
[13:14] <knife> jforman: the implications are beyond me, sorry
[13:14] <Agion> yes :D
[13:14] <erUSUL> !iso | bobbob1016
[13:14] <toni0> live msn   nekit geni2@hotmail.co.uk
[13:14] <hateball> bobbob1016: Why do you need to convert it all?
[13:15] <knife> jforman: but i would think that using a virtual machine would be more likely
[13:15] <Initial_M> how to change color of the text on conky
[13:15] <knife> vmware for example
[13:15] <bobbob1016> erUSUL, I know what an iso is....  I need to make a .cdr into an .iso....
[13:15] <bobbob1016> hateball, How do I burn a .cdr file then?
[13:15] <hateball> bobbob1016: Try with Brasero
[13:15] <wols_> a .cd is a .bin
[13:15] <wols_> !info bin2iso
[13:15] <wols_> !info binchunker
[13:16] <mespejel> swap.. 1458.. thats like 1gb and half isnt?
[13:16] <toni0> nekit msn  geni2@hotmail.co.uk
[13:16] <wols_> convert the bin to iso and burn that
[13:16] <bobbob1016> wols_, I installed bchunker, the help says the syntax is bchunk file.cue file.bin, and I have neither.
[13:16] <riva> ?
[13:17] <bobbob1016> hateball, It says can't be burned, it isn't a cue.
[13:17] <lovinglinux> Hi. Does someone have a TV card running with TVTime?
[13:17] <Keiyentai> ok. Noob question but how do you install a .bin file?
[13:18] <shiman> i hope ubuntu will release sumthin like freeBSD
[13:18] <shiman> hehe
[13:18] <dipen> Keiyentai: chmod +x .bin file
[13:18] <Keiyentai> ty
[13:18] <dipen> and then path of that file
[13:18] <Keiyentai> ya
[13:18] <shiman> welkem
[13:18] <bobbob1016> wols_, bchunk won't do it, and where can I find bin2iso
[13:19] <knife> shiman: something like freebsd? ohk ;)
[13:19] <shiman> i luv freebsd
[13:19] <hwilde_> !ot | shiman
[13:19] <shiman> hehe knife

[13:20] <dipen> hischild: how can i restart my alsa alone? After getting sound for sometime It stops working, My guess some app is locking it down. I couldn find anyting in logs.

[13:21] <app> hey i have some serious problems, when i try to login to my sudo account everythings white after the login screen. i've installed new ati drivers (8.8) and that happened
[13:21] <root_> exit
[13:21] <app> so how do i fix that?
[13:21] <hischild> dipen, probably some app is using oss that only allows one sound source to play at a time. If that app crashes, it might lock down your sound. Check in preferences -> sound if all is at alsa instead of oss
[13:22] <hwilde_> my apps that use alsa only let one at a time
[13:22] <bobbob1016> legend2440, I guess the file I have is corrupted or something then, I changed it to .iso, then did write to disc, and it said invalid iso image or something.
[13:22] <hwilde_> but pulse shares nice
[13:22] <slim_> hello all, any recommendation for a good web application framework ?
[13:22] <knife> app: just a stab, login to your normal account, sudo synaptic and reinstall ati drivers? someone check this
[13:22] <hwilde_> !lamp | slim_
[13:22] <legend2440> bobbob1016: yes thats possible. never tried cdr myself
[13:23] <hischild> knife, just use the menu or use gksudo
[13:23] <dipen> hmm 2 were auto detect
[13:23] <dipen> I made them ALSA
[13:23] <dipen> shouldn be a problem now right?
[13:23] <knife> alright
[13:23] <app> knife: can't, when i login to my normal (sudo) account i have absolutely no interface, just a blank white screen.. can't even run terminal :(
[13:24] <anujsingh> pam_nologin gdm:auth cannot determine username
[13:24] <anujsingh> any idea?

[13:27] <anujsingh> hwilde_: i told him to give sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm
[13:27] <anujsingh> then?

[13:30] <gaurav> dear hwilde
[13:30] <durino13> guys, i have a question .. where is a reference between MBR and bootloader? as i understand, there can be several bootloaders (e.g. every partition can have one) .. how do i know, where the MBR is going to look for bootloader?
[13:30] <anujsingh> sorry one is gdm and other is kde-kdm4 i asked him to make gdm default
[13:30] <mib_89445lpz> I installed a polish keyboard via system preferences, and in the bottom panel, a keyboard switcher. the panel switcher shows I can switch between USA and polish. however, when it shows I'm in the polish layout, I still get american keys.
[13:30] <pablopablovski> hey all, newbie on here. can anyone tell me how to remove kde4.1 without affecting the existing 3.5.9 install?
[13:31] <hwilde_> durino13, usually only one partition is marked with the boot flag
[13:31] <cacf3b2074> how to play from command line:   MPEG ADTS, layer III, v1,  64 kBits, 44.1 kHz, JntStereo   ?
[13:31] <anujsingh> hwilde_: even his network is not brining up his wireless network, after the upgrade.
[13:31] <dVs> how do you set which partition is going to be the boot partition ?
[13:31] <durino13> hwilde_: hm .. this means, that MBR will pass the code to bootloader of active partition, correct?
[13:32] <gaurav> can any help m in connecting local network
[13:32] <hwilde_> durino13, well I think your bios will try to boot from whichever one is marked boot
[13:32] <gaminggeek> cacf3b2074: sudo apt-get install mpg123
[13:32] <hwilde_> dVs, it's a flag on the partition
[13:32] <dVs> hwilde how do i change that ?
[13:32] <gaminggeek> cacf3b2074: then mpg123 file
[13:32] <hwilde_> dVs, gparted
[13:32] <ParoXoN> dvs: use a partition editor like fdisk or gparted
[13:33] <anujsingh> hwilde_: i asked him to useradd xyz, passwd xyz and then login as user xyz
[13:33] <dVs> ok ..
[13:33] <elasto1mania> hello
[13:33] <durino13> hwilde_: perfect .. my problem is as follows .. i need to move my root "/" partition between HDD's. If i set the new partition as 'bootable', then i can safely remove the old HDD
[13:33] <dVs> thankx
[13:33] <ParoXoN> dvs: do you know what those things are?
[13:33] <hwilde_> dVs, boot from livecd,  run gparted
[13:33] <anujsingh> he got an error that cannot enter home directory
[13:33] <dVs> yeah i know what gparted is ..
[13:33] <hwilde_> durino13, the root / mountpoint will go wherever /etc/fstab tells it
[13:33] <hwilde_> !fstab | durino13
[13:33] <anujsingh> useradd xyz is correct with ubuntu?
[13:33] <knife> should be
[13:34] <hwilde_> anujsingh, you have to specify the home directory like   -m -d /home/xyz
[13:34] <hwilde_> anujsingh,  -m flag will make it if it doesnt exist
[13:34] <elasto1mania> is the driver on intel site better then the driver in ubuntu 8.04 for intel 82645?
[13:34] <geek_> anyone managed to get speedstep working with a PIII based thinkpad/know of a good clear howto to?
[13:35] <durino13> hwilde_: ok, but before my /etc/fstab is going to be parsed, it should boot first ..
[13:36] <hwilde_> durino13, probly yeah

[13:36] <dorothy_gale> Hi all, I have an HP Omnibook 500 with 256MB RAM, Running Windows 98 SE and I'd like to run Xubuntu with in Windows 98 SE. Any sugestions?
[13:37] <Knight709> I just made a persistent bootable USB stick lol
[13:37] <hwilde_> dorothy_gale, dualboot it
[13:37] <hwilde_> !dualboot > dorothy_gale
[13:37] <durino13> hwilde_: no .. i need to migrate my root filesystem .. i am now in the phase of preparing
[13:37] <knife> dorothy_gale: yes, dont
[13:37] <Knight709> but I cant change the desktop background etc. not that it really matters
[13:37] <hwilde_> durino13, from where to where ?  and why
[13:37] <Knight709> so guys, anyone know what file extension I need to have
[13:38] <defex> hey team, does anyone know of an irc client that's better than xchat? I'm use to gamersirc(based on mirc) and this is really confusing and hard to read.
[13:38] <dorothy_gale> I know how to dual boot, I don't want to dual boot
[13:38] <durino13> hwilde_: from my old PATA to my new SATA HDD. Due to lack of space on old PATA HDD
[13:38] <hwilde_> !vmware | dorothy_gale
[13:38] <ParoXoN> durino13: simplest way to do what you describe is to image the old drive (or partition) and then restore that image to the replacement drive
[13:38] <dorothy_gale> I want to run xubuntu from inside windows 98 SE
[13:38] <pablopablovski> defex: try colloquy
[13:38] <geek_> defex: you fontwise?
[13:38] <hwilde_> dorothy_gale, you mean vmware.
[13:38] <dorothy_gale> hwilde I was thinking more Qemu
[13:39] <cacf3b2074> works
[13:39] <knife> qemu vs vmare? let's settle this
[13:39] <dorothy_gale> something light wieght and free
[13:39] <knife> vmware*
[13:39] <geek_> dorothy_gale: emulating from a windows 98 box (likely to be old) is probably gonna end up in VERY bad performance. qumu would work though- i'd suggest using qemu manager...
[13:39] <gaurav> can any one help me connecting to local network and setuping my samba
[13:39] <durino13> ParoXoN: What do you mean with 'image'? I have already moved (copied) all my partitions ..
[13:39] <defex> pablopablovski: Cheers, will check it out
[13:39] <hwilde_> dorothy_gale, the major problem here is that you are going backwards.  you should run linux, then emulate win98 in it.  you are going to have a hell of a time getting linux to run inside win98
[13:39] <durino13> ParoXoN: i hope, all i need to do is to modify /etc/fstab and grup bootloader
[13:39] <geek_> qemu- light, free but VERY VERY slow. on top of win 98... even slower...
[13:39] <hwilde_> gaurav, you can ping and one machine has a samba share right?
[13:39] <Knight709> im trying to make a 3rd partition on my bootable USB stick
[13:39] <dorothy_gale> hwilde I am not going backwards, I have very specific reasons for wanting t do this
[13:40] <gaurav> mo sir
[13:40] <hwilde_> gaurav, so go to Places -> Connect to server.  type in the ip and samba share.
[13:40] <erUSUL> !gparted > Knight709
[13:40] <ParoXoN> durino13: if you plan to pull the old pata drive, then you need to copy your boot folder over to the new SATA drive
[13:40] <hwilde_> dorothy_gale, you need to put vmware in win98 then.
[13:40] <dorothy_gale> hwilde VMWare Worksation is a memmory hog
[13:40] <Knight709> oh yes im way beyond that but I accidently hit enter, didnt finish message
[13:40] <ParoXoN> durino13: If you're going to leave the pata drive in, just change the fstab on the pata drive so that the main SATA partition is used as root
[13:40] <dorothy_gale> does anyone know of guide for doing this with Qemu
[13:41] <durino13> ParoXoN: not only 'boot' folder .. i want to get rid of the PATA
[13:41] <ParoXoN> right
[13:41] <gaurav> dear hwilde i can't connect via connect to server
[13:41] <hwilde_> dorothy_gale, like I said, backwards... qemu would let you emulate win98 inside of ubuntu
[13:41] <Knight709> I'm using fdisk etc, but when I get to make a permission it wants the extension type, the thing is it only lets me input numbers
[13:41] <Knight709> I cant put in fat32 etc
[13:41] <geek_> dorothy_gale: get qemu manager- its a nice front end for qemu- the command line options are a minor pain
[13:41] <hwilde_> gaurav, you can ping the machines, and one is running samba share right?
[13:41] <ParoXoN> so here's what has to happen: when the machine boots, it's going to look to your PATA drive, grab the bootloader off it and parse fstab to give youa lovely grub menu
[13:41] <gaurav> no sir
[13:41] <dorothy_gale> hwilde, thanks for your suggestion but that is not how I want to do it
[13:42] <hwilde_> dorothy_gale, you are asking the wrong questions then.  qemu is an ubuntu prog that will let you emulate win98
[13:42] <bob___> How do you move a running process into a SCREEN session?
[13:42] <gaurav> dear hwilde i install linux and rest all are having the win and i am not able to connect the windows machine
[13:42] <ParoXoN> durino13: you have to copy the contents of that boot folder (and indeed, the rest of the contents of the pata drive) onto the sata drive
[13:42] <dorothy_gale> so if anyone else has run xubuntu with qemu please tell me how it went
[13:42] <hwilde_> dorothy_gale, what you need is vmware for win98, to emulate ubuntu
[13:42] <_coredump_> Knight709, try cfdisk its a lot easier to handle than fdisk
[13:42] <dorothy_gale> qemu runs on windows
[13:42] <Knight709> okay thanks
[13:42] <hwilde_> !samba > gaurav
[13:42] <dVs> well that didnt work ..
[13:43] <dorothy_gale> hwilde as in damn small linux emmbeded
[13:43] <ParoXoN> durino13: then modify the fstab on the sata drive to make sure that root is in th right place (probably /dev/sda1)
[13:43] <dVs> i am getting error 21 in grub ..
[13:43] <geek_> hwilde_: i don't think vmware runs on win98
[13:43] <durino13> ParoXoN: you say 'when the machine boots, it's going to look to your PATA drive' .. is this because of the 'PATA' first partition is marked as 'boot'?
[13:43] <ParoXoN> durino13: once that's done (and if you've copied all the files from the pata drive to the sata one) you can gank the pata drive, tell the OS to boot from the SATA drive and all should go well
[13:44] <hwilde_> dorothy_gale, http://www.pendrivelinux.com/2007/09/18/run-a-live-linux-cd-from-within-windows/#more-232
[13:44] <ParoXoN> durino13: that's correct
[13:44] <_lumm> bob____: apt-get install screen. then screen irssi
[13:44] <_lumm> for exsample
[13:44] <Knight709> is there a more lax channel on this server to just chat? for non support purposes
[13:44] <hwilde_> !ot | Knight709
[13:44] <Knight709> thanks!
[13:44] <_lumm> Knight709: maybe #ubuntu-offtopic
[13:44] <geek_> Knight709: #defocus or #ubuntu-offtopic
[13:45] <wathek> I need some information this line append initrd=ubuntu-desktop/casper/initrd.gz boot=casper netboot=nfs nfsroot=192.168.0.10:/mnt/u01/tftpboot/ubuntu-desktop --
[13:45] <ParoXoN> durino13: when all's said and done with your sata drive, it should have a similar parition scheme to your pata drive, a complete copy of the root file system of the pata drive, and grub installed to the mbr of the sata drive
[13:45] <riva> quit
[13:45] <wathek> the nfsroot=192.168.0.10:/mnt/u01/tftpboot/ubuntu-desktop -- is for what ?
[13:46] <anujsingh> hwilde_: now login screen is coming but after giving user pass, he is dropeed back to login screen
[13:46] <durino13> ParoXoN: how can i copy bootloader from PATA to SATA?
[13:46] <hwilde_> anujsingh, ctrl+Alt+f1   can you login there?  no?  then your passwd is wrong reset it
[13:46] <hwilde_> wathek, that's like a netboot
[13:46] <hwilde_> !netboot | wathek
[13:46] <durino13> ParoXoN: this is done usually during the normal OS install ..
[13:47] <durino13> ParoXoN: can i do it manually?
[13:47] <ParoXoN> durino13: there are a couple of ways to do this, but it would probably be easiest to just install grub manually
[13:47] <gustavonarea> Hi. I was using the graphic manager to install a big amoung of applications, but an error occurred and now it doen't seem to be easy to resume the installation. How can I force that the downloaded packages are installed?
[13:47] <Killerkid> Hello, I need help, When i boot it just stuck at "Starting up ..." its been at it for a long time
[13:47] <bob___> lumm, say irssi is already running.... how do i move it to a current or new SCREEN session without interrputing it?
[13:47] <geek_> anyone managed to get speedstep working with a PIII based thinkpad/know of a good clear howto to?
[13:47] <hwilde_> durino13, you want to just install grub on the new partition
[13:47] <anujsingh> hwilde_: yes tty is working with same user pass, password given is not wrong,
[13:47] <ParoXoN> durino13: I assume that right now you ahve the machine up and running with both drives in it?
[13:47] <hwilde_> !fixgrub > durino13
[13:47] <DocMabuse> Hi @all
[13:48] <fubing> !! beijing
[13:48] <hwilde_> anujsingh, login to terminal and type sudo startx
[13:48] <DocMabuse> Anyone knows how can i install the realtek package?
[13:48] <anujsingh> yes
[13:48] <hwilde_> anujsingh, check /var/log/xorg.0.log    for errors
[13:48] <wathek> hwilde, so I've to setup a nfs server ?
[13:48] <hwilde_> !realtek | DocMabuse
[13:48] <anujsingh> ok wait
[13:48] <DocMabuse> thx :)
[13:48] <wathek> hwilde, and what do I've to share ? coz I mounted the hardy hero image in /media/ubuntu
[13:48] <durino13> ParoXoN: correct
[13:49] <gustavonarea> how can I install all of the packages in a folder?
[13:49] <gustavonarea> (many .deb's in a folder)
[13:49] <gorski> when i type sudo alien i get this, please help!: Unpacking of 'bjfilter-common-2.50-2.i386.rpm' failed at /usr/share/perl5/Alien/Package/Rpm.pm line 153.
[13:49] <gorski> find: invalid predicate `-'
[13:49] <ParoXoN> durino13: so i'll asume then that you have /dev/sda and /dev/sdb being the pata and sata drives respectively, right?
[13:49] <Algyz> Hi, can somebody tell, which file are in /home/user/.gnome2-private  ?
[13:50] <anujsingh> hwilde_: sudo startx says stopped.
[13:50] <IndyGunFreak> Algyz: why not just open it up and look?
[13:50] <hwilde_> anujsingh, xorg.0.log    errors
[13:50] <jatt> how do I set the locale? I do have in my .bashrc
[13:50] <jatt> export LANG=de_DE.UTF-8

[13:50] <IndyGunFreak> gorski: what are you using alien for?
[13:50] <Algyz> IndyGunFreak:  very smart, the problem I modified accidentally
[13:51] <durino13> ParoXoN: well .. my sata was detected as hdg
[13:51] <wathek> Cocoabean, no problem the bootp is running now
[13:51] <Cocoabean> wathek awesome, what ended up being the problem
[13:51] <gorski> i have some drivers for cannon ip1000
[13:51] <durino13> ParoXoN: so my first HDD is /dev/hda, second /dev/hdg
[13:51] <wathek> Cocoabean, my dhcp server was runing yesterday
[13:51] <wathek> lol
[13:51] <gorski> in rpm
[13:51] <IndyGunFreak> gorski: good luck w/ that... you're better off downloading the source code.
[13:51] <IndyGunFreak> !alien | gorski
[13:51] <Killerkid> Hello, I need help, When i boot it just stuck at "Starting up ..." its been at it for a long time
[13:51] <gorski> other two packages converting to deb are normal
[13:51] <ParoXoN> durino13: hdg? that's odd; still ok though :)
[13:51] <Cocoabean> wathek: ah, i figured it was something with ip assignment
[13:52] <anujsingh> hwilde_: intel(0): xg86unbindgartmemory: unbind key 3
[13:52] <wathek> Cocoabean, but can you help me to setup the files so the client can get the package from my local server and not downloadning them from internet ?
[13:52] <anujsingh> hwilde_: intel(0): xg86unbindgartmemory: unbind key 1
[13:52] <ParoXoN> so durino13: you've got everything copied over to the new sata drive?
[13:52] <durino13> ParoXoN: yep
[13:52] <jatt> hwilde_: where do I find the locale-config program (in which package)?
[13:52] <wathek> Cocoabean, I mounted the hardy image in /media/ubuntu but I don't understand the option nfsroot=192.168.0.1:/mnt/u01..... is for what ?
[13:52] <Algyz> IndyGunFreak:  sry, /home/user/.gnome2_private
[13:52] <anujsingh> hwilde_: config/hal couldn't initialise context: (null) ((null))
[13:53] <ParoXoN> durino13: including the entirety of important folders like /boot?
[13:53] <IndyGunFreak> Algyz: i have nothing there.
[13:53] <Cocoabean> wathek, you need to have the image shared via NFS, that option points tothe NFS share
[13:53] <durino13> ParoXoN: yep
[13:53] <melvinram> Hey folks I got a question about SSH
[13:53] <hischild> how to find out what driver is used for my wlan card atm?
[13:53] <melvinram> Where should I save the .ssh/config  file?
[13:54] <wathek> Cocoabean, so I've to point it to /media/ubuntu the root of the hardy CD ?
[13:54] <Cocoabean> wathek: say you mounted the ubuntu image at /mount/image, that would be your nfs root
[13:54] <Cocoabean> wathek is your NFS share setup though
[13:54] <erUSUL> hischild: lshw -C Network
[13:54] <durino13> ParoXoN: i want also change my partitions .. they will not be completelly the same on PATA and SATA, but this is something i will handle using /etc/fstab
[13:54] <hischild> erUSUL, ty
[13:54] <ParoXoN> durino13: ok, first off, unmount all the partitions on the sata drive (hdg apparently). then run fdisk /dev/hdg and press p<enter> and then a<enter> then enter the partition number that has the /boot folder on it
[13:55] <wathek> Cocoabean, ok gonna configure the nfs server now
[13:55] <durino13> ParoXoN: my concern is now the bootloader
[13:55] <ParoXoN> durino13: no problem, that's what we're covering now :)
[13:55] <hischild> erUSUL, says i should run it as root, correct?
[13:55] <ParoXoN> durino13: we just have to be kinda hasty because I have to run to work; regettably this is /far/ more interesting than my job T.T
[13:55] <erUSUL> hischild: it gives the answer even as normal user on the configurartion line driver=whatever
[13:56] <durino13> ParoXoN: well .. you can follow ..
[13:56] <hischild> erUSUL, lovely. Thank you
[13:56] <durino13> ParoXoN: just give me hints .. i will try to follow them later
[13:56] <anujsingh> in ubuntu, network service from the cmdline, sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart?
[13:56] <erUSUL> hischild: no problem
[13:56] <ParoXoN> durino13: ok, first set the active partiion using fdisk (make the parition that has your /boot folder on it active)
[13:57] <hischild> erUSUL, may i also ask you what file holds the blacklisted drivers?
[13:57] <ParoXoN> durino13: once that's done, run sudo grub-install /dev/hdg
[13:57] <hischild> *modules
[13:57] <ParoXoN> durino13: lastly, edit fstab on the sata drive to your liking
[13:58] <ParoXoN> durino13: once that's done, power off the machine, unhook the pata drive, and then restart the machine booting from the sata drive; all should go well, if not, hook the pata drive back up and try again ^.^;;
[13:58] <durino13> ParoXoN: perfect .. i question
[13:58] <ParoXoN> yes?
[13:58] <durino13> ParoXoN: what about menu.lst from my PATA drive?
[13:58] <ParoXoN> menu.lst resides in /boot/grub
[13:59] <Buddy_Israel`> net
[13:59] <ParoXoN> it shouldn't have to be changed
[13:59] <ParoXoN> er
[13:59] <ParoXoN> 1 sec
[13:59] <ParoXoN> durino13: ok, it will have to be changed
[13:59] <durino13> ParoXoN: ok, does this mean, if i install grub on my SATA, that it will automatically use stuff in the /boot folder?
[14:00] <ParoXoN> durino13: yes, if that parition is marked 'active'
[14:00] <ParoXoN> durino13: 'that' partition being the one with /boot folder in it
[14:00] <vadim> hi. Can anybody advise me a good book to learn linux basics (i don't speak about graphical interface)?
[14:00] <durino13> ParoXoN: so what exaclty do i have to do with 'menu.lst'? just overwrite it with the old one from PATA and that's it?
[14:01] <fourvees> hi vadim try www.tldp.org
[14:01] <Cocoabean> vadim: there is TONS of linux documentation online in various places
[14:01] <ParoXoN> durino13: you WILL have to change menu.lst's entries though, since it will say to use the UUID of the old pata drive as the root partition
well i need smth not online
[14:02] <ParoXoN> durino13: your current menu.lst will have a linet hat says 'kernel [some stuff] root=UUID=[somehexnumbers]'
[14:02] <durino13> ParoXoN: that's correct
[14:03] <vadim> what i really need is to learn how to make ubuntu packages from source files i got
[14:03] <ParoXoN> durino13: you'll have to change that to root=/dev/hdx# where x# specifies the drive and partition of your root filesystem
[14:03] <ParoXoN> or, if you know the UUID of the sata drive, use that
[14:03] <Cocoabean> vadim are you trying to compile and install them, or do you just want to make .deb packages
[14:03] <durino13> ParoXoN: perfect
[14:04] <durino13> ParoXoN: btw, is it normal, that my sata is recognized as hd*? i would expect sd* ..
[14:04] <ParoXoN> everything we've laid out SHOULD work ^.^;;

i want build a package first and then install - think it will be more simple to manage
[14:04] <ParoXoN> durino13: i'm not so sure how the OS detects its drives; ubuntu seems to be a lot less discriminating than other distros i've used. My two pata drives in my gateway are /dev/sd* for some reason o.O
[14:05] <durino13> ParoXoN: ok .. so ..
[14:05] <durino13> ParoXoN: you probabbly don't know how much you've helped me
[14:05] <durino13> ParoXoN: i have now a pretty good idea, what i am going to do

[14:07] <ParoXoN> durino13: well that's a good thing; a fun experiment then ;)

[14:12] <Koryo> Hi all ^^ anyone up for giving a linux n00b a hand in figuring out what is wrong with a wireless lan card that appears to be installed?
[14:12] <anujsingh> hwilde_: yes but what about his other installations, which he downloaded? and it's against the linux thing..
[14:12] <ssaboum_> ThexLeopard : what's wrong ?
[14:13] <Koryo> system: Ubuntu server 8.04 (i think), KDE 3.5, wireless card: Broadcom 802.11 b/g
[14:14] <anujsingh> what if i ask him to boot from installation cd, and upgrade his system, install kde over installed?
[14:14] <anujsingh> is there any such option?
[14:15] <gaurav> dear hwilde is dere any way i can find the temp file or junk file in system like as we can find in windows
[14:15] <Koryo> anyone up for giving a linux n00b a hand in figuring out what is wrong with a wireless lan card that appears to be installed? system: Ubuntu server 8.04 (i think), KDE 3.5, wireless card: Broadcom 802.11 b/g
[14:16] <elhoir> hello
[14:16] <ThexLeopard> basically, i installed ubuntu server on the secondary drive of my parents computer, with xp on the master, and installed the boot loader into the mbr, which is on the primary device, but it comes up with error 21 and i cant boot either os anymore
[14:16] <elhoir> why ubuntu freezes when i try to connect  mobile phone to it via bluetooth?
[14:16] <anujsingh> hwilde_: can i have to logs about what is upgraded?
[14:17] <anujsingh> i mean can i have logs, same as yum.log under rhel
[14:17] <Koryo> TheXLeopard, if you can't repair it so you can boot with grub, there is always booting your windows CD and running the recovery console and doing a fixmbr, that will get you windows back and keep linux on the drive
[14:17] <gaurav> how can i free up my disk by removing the temp n junk file in linux
[14:18] <wathek> Cocoabean, after it loads the vmlinuz image I get the busyBox V1.1.3 consol !

[14:18] <AKADEMIK2283MCZ> can somebody tell me how to set up network
[14:18] <AKADEMIK2283MCZ> with windows network
[14:18] <Cocoabean> wathek: sounds like its booting into recovery shell?
[14:18] <Koryo> AKADEMIK2283MCZ, what exactly are you after?

[14:28] <Koryo> ThexLeopard, you on XP?
[14:28] <Cocoabean> wathek, you get dumped to busybox when something goes wrong, im going to guess that its the permissions on your mounted CD files

[14:28] <wathek> Cocoabean, my mounted cd files you mean /media/ubuntu ?

[14:29] <kasra[K]> how can i check uuid?
[14:29] <Koryo> ThexLeopard, the computer you are having troubles with grub on, is that windows XP?
[14:30] <Cocoabean> wathek: how many times have you tried booting it
[14:30] <ubuntu> if you are downloading package files with the add/remove applications tool and you lose connection, will it pick up where it left off after re-establishing it?
[14:30] <wathek> Cocoabean, 3 times
[14:30] <savid> Why would my hard-drive start going crazy every time I connected to a VPN through network-manager-pptp?
[14:30] <savid> It clicks away for about 2-3 minutes

[14:33] <hkais1> how can i determine if the OS has a dvd/dvdram writer, and if one is available which device it is?
[14:33] <geek_> its more a wine issue than a linux one
[14:34] <LinuxGhost> GEEK, where
[14:34] <Koryo> That is a bootable recovery console, 7MB, just download, burn to disk, boot in your grup problem computer, and fix the MBR ;)

[14:36] <wathek> Cocoabean, 256
[14:36] <geek_> hkais1: you didn't say so. I don't know how to anyway.
[14:36] <Tarandus_> Koryo: does lspci include your wlan card?
[14:36] <Cocoabean> wathek: im reading that the livecd need at least 512 MB to run, are you using the alternate install CD image
[14:36] <iki> How can one get the firefox navigation bar back?
[14:37] <wathek> Cocoabean, now yes I'm using the alternate install CD but what I'm looking for is that the installation takes its packages from the NFS server and not from the internet
[14:37] <wols_> iki: view - toolbars
[14:37] <wathek> Cocoabean, coz I've a 256Kbps ADSL internet connection and it'll take a long time you see ?
[14:37] <thomas_> iki: in View > Toolbars
[14:37] <Cocoabean> wathek, as long your file that you pastebinned me is pointed at your local NFS share, it should grab the packages from your NFS server

[14:45] <wathek> Cocoabean, can't I setup a mirror of ubuntu in which I put my packages files ?
[14:46] <savid> ok, so here's my network-manager-pptp issue:   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8YEEm4RLAnE
[14:46] <Cocoabean> wathek, you need to install the base os though, i dont think you can just point it at a mounted live CD or group of packages
[14:47] <wathek> Cocoabean, gonna try to setup a mirror
[14:47] <wols_> GreenmanX: no
[14:47] <wols_> xess: install ipmasq
[14:48] <wathek> Cocoabean, and then boot on expert mode and specify my server IP adress as a mirror from which the installer has to get packages
[14:48] <elliotjhug> hi all, just successfully configured dual monitors on an nvidia card, but the monitors are the wrong way round - how can I switch them around?
[14:48] <Koryo> Tarandus_ Yes, it says its there, but KWireless Lan can't scan :s
[14:48] <Cocoabean> wathek, sounds like a good idea, though the liveCD and the installing from the internet are the most clear options to me
[14:49] <wathek> Cocoabean, ok
[14:49] <wathek> ;)
[14:49] <wathek> Cocoabean, hope it'll work :D
[14:49] <Cocoabean> wathek i know you have a slow connection though, but I guess if worse comes to worse you can just let it run while you sleep, strange that the LiveCD doesnt boot though
[14:49] <LinuxGhost> help me: ive installed SPSS on UBUNTU 8.04 now i need to Uninstall but it seems like a virus when i attempt it it copies another file and eats more space on my HardDisc....PLEASE, help me.:-(:-(
[14:50] <wathek> Cocoabean, that'll be the last solution for me
[14:50] <wols_> LinuxGhost: ask SPSS. they provide support for it
[14:50] <wathek> Cocoabean, if my mirror won't work the only solution that I get is to let it run and wait lol
[14:51] <Cocoabean> wathek: yea, i did a netinstall with my 10mbit line :)       i guess i should be careful not to take my BW for granted. i woudl double check the permissions on ur mounted image though

[14:59] <Tronic> Those don't seem to answer my question.
[14:59] <waaib> Does anyone know where I can ask / get advice on running ubuntu with a ATI 7500 graphics cards.
[14:59] <waaib> the forums have some topics but i'm not clever enough to understand them
[14:59] <Tronic> That is, I don't want to download ISO image, but rather want to install the installer with apt-get.
[14:59] <bazhang> Tronic, you cant
[15:00] <Tronic> Is there some reason why? Is it just not packaged, but manually installed on the CD during mastering?
[15:00] <Tronic> In that case, I would expect to find a tarball for it somewhere.
[15:00] <bazhang> Tronic, why what?
[15:01] <guntbert> DJF5: gdmap is my choice
[15:01] <Tronic> Why I cannot install the text mode installer on an existing system?
[15:01] <limcore> what to install to fix:
[15:01] <Tronic> (the same way that I can install ubiquity, the graphical installer)

[15:04] <Koryo> ah! thank you wols_ ^_^
[15:04] <waaib> i've only used linux for 3 hours now.
[15:05] <knife> there should be an option for it on the boot-menu
[15:05] <knife> unless i am mistaken ;)
[15:05] <wols_> waaib: the driver to use is named "ati". it is used by default, nothing special to do
[15:05] <waaib> wols: where can i see the settings?
[15:06] <knife> otherwise, clicking on the menus "system" "administration" then "Hardware Drivers" should help if you are usiong ATI or NVIDIA
[15:06] <wols_> waaib: Xorg.0.log
[15:06] <waaib> hardware drivers is blank

[15:07] <waaib> how do I show that log file?
[15:07] <hischild> wols_, he can use startx to get into a graphical mode which should work ..
[15:07] <wols_> hischild: should. apparently it doesn't as he like it

[15:18] <xess> wathek there is really no point to doing that.
[15:18] <wathek> xess, why ?
[15:18]  * delcoyote hi
[15:19] <Waaib> Can anyone help with setting up a ATI 7500 Raedon on Ubunti Hardy?
[15:19] <xess> wathek Because all the packages on your cd are already installed. This isn't like fedora or forsight. there is really nothing new left on that cd so you have not reason to use it as a source so long as you have an inernet connection.
[15:20] <knife> should be under system/administration/hardware drivers ? unless i'm wrong
[15:20] <knife> debian is my forte' not ubuntu
[15:20] <xess> wathek it holds no new data or upgrades on it.
[15:20] <wathek> xess, I'm trying to setup a mirror for my local network to be able to install the Ubuntu base
[15:21] <amirman> how can i sudo delete my trashbin?
[15:21] <wathek> xess, I'd like to install ubuntu on a computer that has no CDrom, floppy drive and can't boot from USB
[15:21] <rsk> wathek try netboot
[15:21] <timo> knife: im a bit confused seem pulse dont work when i test it. On the mixer pab i dont have pulse audio as an option http://img54.imageshack.us/img54/8605/screenshotkw7.png
[15:21] <xess> wathek Can it boot from net?
[15:21] <wathek> xess, I don't want to download all the packages from internet I'd like that it takes it packages from a mirror that I create and that it contains the CD packages
[15:22] <knife> timo: pulse requires alot of hacking... some might argue it's not worth it, other's keep hacking :)
[15:22] <wathek> coz I've a 256 Kbps internet connection and if I'm gonna download everything it'll take a long time
[15:22] <wathek> you see ?
[15:22] <xess> wathek Does the system have the ability to network boot?
[15:22] <wathek> rsk, that's what I'm doing but I can't download all the packages from internet I want to use the packages in my CD
[15:22] <wathek> xess, yes
[15:22] <amirman> what's the command to delete everything in my trashbin? i need to force delete something, it says permission denied
[15:22] <abacathoo> 3~
[15:22] <wols_> Waaib: pastebin your Xorg.0.log
[15:23] <Waaib> how do I get that?
[15:23] <timo> knife alsa will do me. I really envy the vista sound mixer package
[15:23] <wathek> xess, i'ts ok I can boot and install Ubuntu from the internet but it'll take a long time so I'd like to setup a mirror so it can download the packages from my local mirror you see ?
[15:23] <wols_> Waaib: by opening it in a editor?
[15:23] <xess> Wathek yeah that should be to hard.
[15:24] <wathek> xess, that's why I'm trying to setup a mirror
[15:24] <_Nihil_> hi! i need a software to join or split files with .sfv or .md5. can anyone help me?
[15:25] <Waaib> ok cool.
[15:25] <wathek> xess, but I don't want that it takes the packages from internet but from my Ubuntu CD
[15:25] <wols_> _Nihil_: huh?
[15:25] <unop> amirman, sudo rm -rf ~/.local/share/Trash/*
[15:25] <xess> wathek and I shall help you. There is actually a peace o soft where the you can use to do it.
[15:25] <wols_> wathek: then use apt-cdrom as you've been told
[15:25] <_Nihil_> wols_, i googled but i received no answer
[15:25] <knife> Nihil: gfslicer is one
[15:25] <wathek> wols_, apt-cdrom won't help me to make a mirror will it ?
[15:26] <_Nihil_> knife, thanks. it works also with hjsplit files?
[15:26] <xess> wols you are making and ass out of your self like I did.
[15:26] <bazhang> xess, please keep it family friendly
[15:26] <wols_> wathek: <dpkg> it has been said that apt-mirror is a tool for making a local mirror for any apt source, look at http://apt-mirror.sf.net
[15:26] <Waaib> i cant find that file
[15:26] <wols_> other ways are apt-cacher
[15:26] <knife> Nihil_: dunno I just searched synaptic for "file split" because i was curious lol
[15:26] <wols_> Waaib: /var/log
[15:26] <unop> wathek, did you use apt-cdrom ?
[15:27] <amirman> unop: thank you very much
[15:27] <knife> Nihil: "split file" rather
[15:27] <xess> yes bazhang
[15:27] <wathek> unop, yes I did apt-cdrom add
[15:28] <unop> wathek, and it's complaining still?  did you comment out the old entry?
[15:28] <Waaib> ok found it ... it is huge ... pastebin ... what is that?
[15:28] <unop> !paste > Waaib
[15:28] <wols_> wathek: before you can create a repository you first need to have the packages that make up the repo
[15:28] <xess> wethek you might be able to change the source of the mirror app. apt-mirror
[15:28] <wathek> unop, it added to my sources.list the source to my CDrom
[15:28] <wols_> wathek: and if those packages are on ubuntu cd, then you don't need to create a local repo
[15:28] <mlLK> any suggestions for a good remote desktop app for linux > windows
[15:28] <wathek> wols_, I have that in my Ubuntu CD
[15:29] <wathek> wols_, that's what I'm looking for
[15:29] <wols_> wathek: then you don't need a local repo. your cd is already one
[15:29] <wols_> mlLK: which one of the two is the server?
[15:29] <Waaib> ok thanks.
[15:29] <wathek> wols_, just have to add the entry deb cdrom.... to my mirror.list file ?
[15:29] <mlLK> wols_, linux
[15:29] <wols_> wathek: there is no mirror.list file
[15:29] <wathek> wols_, no need to do apt-mirror ?
[15:29] <mlLK> wols_, well, this case windows
[15:30] <wols_> mlLK: vino or any other vncserver
[15:30] <wathek> wols_, huh ?!
[15:30] <mlLK> !vino
[15:30] <wathek> wols_, mirror.list is the file configuration of apt-mirror !
[15:30] <mlLK> !vnc

[15:31] <wols_> Asara|China: depends how much you install. ubuntu.com has a system requirements page
[15:31] <mlLK> wols_, is vnc compliant w/ window's remote desktop terminal service?
[15:31] <Asara|China> wols_: Thanks
[15:31] <mlLK> wols_, while windows is host
[15:31] <wathek> wols_, I need to setup a local mirror using the Ubuntu CD coz I want to install Ubuntu on a computer that can only boot from network and I don't want it to download the packages from the internet coz it'll take a long time so I'm gonna to boot in expert mode and put the adress of my local mirror that contains the CD's Packages

[15:38] <Koryo> its called google
[15:38] <amdfox> how can lunche cmd in linux os ?
[15:38] <Koryo> search "linux routing tables"
[15:39] <sousuke> uncle: are you certain that the service is running?
[15:39] <uncle> sousuke, i can see the sound mixer icon in the task bar.
[15:39] <wraund> rather than constantly being directed to google after google, cant someone actually give some person to person support instead?
[15:40] <bazhang> wraund, is this for internet connection sharing, an ad-hoc network or other
[15:40] <sousuke> doesn't mean the service is on ...
[15:40] <uncle> sousuke, i faced same problem in past tho but eventually when my computer was started i got popup on screen saying that the program was closed unexpectedly so reload to run it again properly
[15:40] <wraund> bazhang: i simply want my desktop to show up on my laptop's wireless, and then be able to connect through it
[15:41] <bazhang> wraund, which of those?
[15:41] <sousuke> uncle: sudo m-a a-i alsa
[15:41] <wraund> both my desktop and laptop have wireless units, and the desktop is connected via ethernet to the outside world
[15:41] <sousuke> maybe reinstalling alsa could work
[15:41] <wraund> bazhang: it is called bridging or tunneling..
[15:41] <wraund> bazhang: someting like that i tihnk
[15:41] <wraund> think*
[15:41] <uncle> sousuke, sudo m-a a-i alsa

[15:47] <stryd_one> hi all.... I have two questions about networking with a windows machine. I hope you can help. I want to share a dir on my ubuntu box to make it available to windows clients. When I right-clicked a folder and chose Sharing Options, then ticked Share this folder, it asked if I wanted to install the Windows network sharing service. It's great that it is automated, but I'd like to script it... So, question 1: Anyone know wha
[15:47] <aldipc> problem: when I try to rip my bladerunner DVD using either ogger or acidrip, always only the first 46 minutes are ripped, then the tool says it's finished, but the files only shows 46 minutes...
[15:47] <aldipc> what is going on?
[15:47] <aldipc> stryd_one: what do you mean you want to script it.. if you want to script something stop clicking  around!
[15:49] <stryd_one> by "i want to script it" i mean, i'd like to enable the sharing of a folder by running commands in a bash shell script
[15:49] <sousuke> stryd_one: the shares are listed in smb.conf
[15:49] <stryd_one> thx sousuke
[15:50] <adakos> hey folks, i have 3 network cards installed. Only one is active ( i just installed the server version)  -- how do i go about activating the other two ?  /etc/network/interfaces only shows one.
[15:50] <stryd_one> sousuke: do you know what this 'windows network sharing service' is?
[15:51] <rick55> hello
[15:51] <sousuke> i think samba
[15:51] <stryd_one> i am assuming samba... but i'm unsure if just installing it will suffice, or whether responding 'yes' does something else as well
[15:53] <DonnieDarko> et
[15:53] <sousuke> adakos: add the other 2 networkcards in /etc/network/interfaces
[15:53] <sousuke> auto eth1
[15:53] <sousuke> iface eth1 inet dhcp
[15:53] <sousuke> or auto eth1
[15:53] <vnix> Someone can help me with this : Unable to connect to CIFS host, will retry in 60 seconds..
[15:53] <sousuke> iface eth1 inet static
[15:53] <sousuke> etc ...

[15:56] <luke> Hi everybody, I have a problem with my madwifi, I had it working and then it suddenly stopped I reinstalled multiple versions including the svn but still nothing works. I have messed with the restricted drivers and that didn't work also. I have an acer aspire 5570 with a ar5007EG wifi card.
[15:56] <sousuke> adakos: ifconfig eth1 up will do
[15:56] <adakos> kk thanks
[15:57] <stryd_one> i' sure i have a tab open right now about java and flash and 32bit firefox
[15:57] <aldipc> stryd_one: well... a couple of weeks ago I also was fooling around with samba and windows network and stuff....
[15:57] <aldipc> samba is an implementation of the SMB protocol of unix
[15:57] <aldipc> windows networking is something else..
[15:57] <aldipc> samba is supported by windows I believe...
[15:57] <aldipc> remember to open your firewall
[15:57] <molgrum> erUSUL: ok ill try
[15:57] <stryd_one> molgrum: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=1174435
[15:58] <aldipc> a different protocol... who cares.. just install samba and try to acces it with your windows machine
[15:58] <erUSUL> aldipc: no windows networking is exactly smb (now called CIFS) and samba implements cifs as well as it can
[15:58] <erUSUL> aldipc: there is no different windows protocol
[15:58] <aldipc> allright
[15:58] <aldipc> well then that is the reason why it works so well
[15:58] <aldipc> together
[15:58] <stryd_one> i use samba on my (novell) servers at work so i'm familiar with it to some extent
[15:59] <luke> Does anybody have any other ideas?
[15:59] <stryd_one> but this is a different usecase (media creation)
[15:59] <aldipc> anybody know why I can't rip a DVD past 45 minutes?
[15:59] <stryd_one> so hdd/cpu utilisation is a concern
[16:00] <stryd_one> hence, it'd be nice to know what it actually does....
[16:00] <vadim> is there a way to make web page in firefox refresh every 5 minutes (for example)

[16:23] <debasys> knife: hummm.... but if it has transparency options, is it heavy on RAM?
[16:23] <debasys> knife: is it lighter than xfce
[16:24] <erUSUL> kc8pxy: your options are 1) install from source 2) find a package in getdeb or similar sites ...
[16:24] <Magicalchampster> does anyone have any dvi cable problems showing display too big?
[16:25] <pcfreak30> i am having some issues with ports
[16:25] <remyroy> Hello, how do I replace a kernel module or driver? I've got the source code of a new driver for my wireless card that I would like to try. I'm able to execute make && make install but it seems like the old driver is not changed.

[16:27] <kc8pxy> erUSUL: I'm a gentoo user by habit. i don't mind coompiling my own stuff, but i'm trying to practice for the production machine  I'm installing this too.   what is getdeb?
[16:27] <pcfreak30> yea
[16:28] <pcfreak30> but i dont have the vnc server installed
[16:28] <adakos> kc8pxy:getdeb is an easy way to get debian/deb/prepacked files
[16:28] <erUSUL> kc8pxy: is a website that offers debs with updated packages for ubuntu releases but it focus on graphical/workstation software not server packages ...
[16:28] <kc8pxy> adakos:  is it a package?  or something i need to put in a deb line in sources.list?
[16:28] <whileimhere> Hi. I have an external USB - CDR drive and I don't seem to be able to auto mount it after I did the updates. I have re-started the machine with no results.
[16:28] <adakos> is an LVM compilation faster than single-disk operation? (i.e. LVM=raid0) ?
[16:29] <adakos> kc8pxy: dont add it to sources.list, it's sort of a snapshot of the repositories, in user-friendly format (click and install) found at www.getdeb.net
[16:29] <whileimhere> Does anyone know anything about this or how to fix it?
[16:29] <r4b> I have added this line to /etc/fstab     /dev/sda3       /media/SHARED   vfat auto,user,rw 0 0 but it isn't automatically mounted. Any ideas why?
[16:29] <pcfreak30> VNC server supports protocol version 3.7 (viewer 3.3)
[16:29] <pcfreak30> VNC connection failed: No security type suitable for RFB 3.3 supported
[16:30] <kc8pxy> adakos:  how do i click to install it,  when all i have is the server's  CLI?
[16:30] <adakos> pcfreak what VNC server are you using?
[16:30] <adakos> kc8pxy: its not designed for server use, it's for casual users to browse. did you need to install it for some reason? or rather, were you told to ?
[16:31] <AlexSpender> QUESTION:  When I use Syanaptic to remove something, many times I see "ubuntu-desktop" included.  I learned the hard way not to do that action .. had to reload everything ... Is there a way to remove something (like network manager) without killing the desktop???
[16:31] <erUSUL> kc8pxy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RubyOnRails
[16:31] <erUSUL> kc8pxy: instruction using rubygems ...
[16:32] <kc8pxy> adakos:  yes.  the latest revision of the web app i'm using requires 2.1 but the last few have run on 2.0.2
[16:32] <kc8pxy> erUSUL:  thx..   so i should gems rails down?
[16:33] <nickster500> i need help installing real player

[16:34] <vombat> you tried wine ?
[16:34] <Waaib> what is wine?
[16:34] <nickster500> what is that?
[16:34] <vombat> windows "emu"
[16:34] <vombat> lets you run most windows programmes
[16:34] <tsuna27> how do i intall compiz on ubuntu
[16:35] <sousuke> vombat: wine is not an emulator
[16:35] <vombat> kon no other words to express it ; )
[16:35] <EeVeeTzA> Question: How can I install Compiz Fusion on Ubuntu 8.0.4?
[16:35] <nickster500> but still how do i install real player its made for linux too
[16:35] <vombat> know*
[16:36] <leeping2008> Hi there, anyone use Mozilla Thunderbird here?  I'm having a lot of trouble getting the Toggle HTML button to work
[16:36] <jtaji> AlexSpender: removing the ubuntu-desktop package, which is just a meta-package that depends on the packages for the default ubuntu desktop, is safe and will not uninstall anything else... any "reload everything" you had to do was caused by some other package you removed
[16:36] <sousuke> nickster500: http://www.ubuntux.org/how-to-install-the-realplayer-multimedia-player
[16:36] <tsuna27> eeveetza: do u noe how to install it or are u also asking
[16:36] <jtaji> AlexSpender: that said, removing ubuntu-desktop is not recommended because the upgrade process depends on it.. it would be easier to just disable something like network manager rather than removing it
[16:36] <EeVeeTzA> I'm asking, I'm total n00b in linux
[16:37] <master_alvaro> when USB 3 and decives (which need usb3) will be relase?

[16:38] <master_alvaro> knife: usb 3.0
[16:38] <knife> gah, does google-eathpackage install google earth or what
[16:38] <sousuke> man man all the questions asked can be googled...
[16:39] <k0rnz> is there a quick way to switch between runlevels 3 and 5 in ubuntu without editing stuff?
[16:40] <ion--> k0rnz: init 5 ?
[16:40] <k0rnz> i want to turn off xserver so i can install nvidia driver
[16:40] <adakos> does anyone know of an ubuntu client capable of adding faux processors over a LAN (i.e. distributed computing) or a LAN-capable Video/audio encoder?
[16:40] <jtaji> k0rnz: ubuntu does not use runlevels 3 and 5, they are used in redhat/redhat based systems, ubuntu and debian uses 2 by default
[16:40] <k0rnz> i dont see /etc/inittab file
[16:41] <jtaji> k0rnz: the usual way is to just do /etc/init.d/gdm stop or start
[16:41] <k0rnz> jtaji thanks i will try
[16:42] <jtaji> k0rnz: or kdm or xdm, depending on which display manager you are using
[16:42] <ion--> k0rnz: then all you need to do is stop kdm/xdm/gdm
[16:42] <ion--> yup
[16:42] <k0rnz> jtaji ok got it thanks
[16:42] <k0rnz> thanks too ion--

[17:05] <dVs> if i run smartctl -t long /dev/sda is there any output and/or how do i know when its done ?
[17:05] <Koryo_Sanders> erUSUL ; it states that my wireless card is disabled, and i can't seem to enable it
[17:05] <erUSUL> Koryo_Sanders: "iwconfig" on a terminal list any wireless interface?
[17:05] <leeping2008> ActionParsnip, I believe I've already done that, I can try it again
[17:05] <nickster500> does anyone know how to install real player?
[17:05] <sagredo> Hi. I have port 80 open on my router but I'm still not able to access apache from the outside internet.
[17:06] <sagredo> Ideas?
[17:06] <Koryo_Sanders> yes, wlan0
[17:06] <leeping2008> I'll just restart X.  That should be pretty fast
[17:06] <ActionParsnip> sagredo: have you forwarded the port to you web server machine?
[17:06] <erUSUL> Koryo_Sanders: then NM should see it ...
[17:06] <Slart> leeping2008: while I'm installing you can try running thunderbird from a terminal.. see if you get any error messages
[17:06] <judas3000> hi, i wanted to know if there is a way to swap the x and y axis of my synaptic touchpad without restarting x
[17:06] <sagredo> ActionParsnip: Yep.
[17:06] <HellTiger__> hi.
[17:06] <sagredo> ActionParsnip: I'm pretty sure
[17:06] <Koryo_Sanders> kcontrolcentre see's it as hardware, but not enables

[17:06] <leeping2008> Slart, no error messages ... I'll restart X, be back in a bit
[17:07] <ActionParsnip> sagredo: id check, thats all that neds setting up. Id set the webserver to static IP
[17:07] <erUSUL> Koryo_Sanders: try this just to verify «sudo iwlist wlan0 scan»
[17:07] <ActionParsnip> sagredo: as it may get a different ip on reboot
[17:07] <ActionParsnip> sagredo: try powering the router off and on
[17:07] <ActionParsnip> sagredo: and verify your wan ip
[17:07] <sagredo> ActionParsnip: When I get on the LAN I can accesss it
[17:07] <nickster500> can anyone help me install realplayer
[17:08] <leeping2008> ActionParsnip, I just restarted X and the toggle HTML button still doesn't do anything.  Currently the toggle is set to "Off", and when I press the "Write" button, I get a Compose Email window with HTML editing enabled... with the toggle set to "Off" it should be doing plaintext editing
[17:08] <Koryo_Sanders> oh fuck! i just disables my ethernet card now! and i can't re-enable it :s

[17:09] <Koryo_Sanders> nope, says its disabled :s
[17:09] <ActionParsnip> sagredo: maybe it is only accepting connections from the LAN

[17:10] <leeping2008> ActionParsnip, I looked in the directory .. there is nothing in the "extensions" directory, a file named nppdf.so in the plugins directory, and there is stuff in the firefox directory ... none of which is pertinent, I think
[17:10] <sagredo> ActionParsnip: apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.1.1 for ServerName
[17:10] <amenado> sagredo-> usually those soho routers have a designated dmz host, use that feature perhaps to designate your ubuntu as the dmz'd host
[17:10] <Slart> leeping2008: I installed Buttons! (version 0.5.3.2) and used customize to get a "HTML!" button.. it doesn't do anything in the main view but when I'm reading a mail I can toggle between html-rendering and text only-rendering just fine
[17:10] <sagredo> amenado: I actually did that. I think the error is in what apache returned while restarting it
[17:11] <sagredo> apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.1.1 for ServerName
[17:11] <Initial_M> ok
[17:11] <sagredo> Where can I change the ServerName to my IP?
[17:11] <Initial_M> try ko
[17:11] <ActionParsnip> leeping2008: id maybe rename the thunderbrd config folder so you get a stock one when you next fire up thunderbird. you may have damaged permissions
[17:11] <amenado> sagredo then it is your apache thing.. make sure you have good entries in your /etc/hosts
[17:11] <sagredo> amenado: thanks I'll check that out
[17:11] <ActionParsnip> sagredo: you may need to check in /etc/resolv.conf
[17:11] <amenado> sagredo in your httpd.conf or apache.conf
[17:12] <ActionParsnip> sagredo: make sure your own servername is in there and resolving to 127.0.0.1
[17:12] <Koryo_Sanders> erUSL, somthing has removed my ETH0 from my /etc/network/interfaces file...
[17:12] <sagredo> ActionParsnip: Okay
[17:12] <leeping2008> Slart, I was under the impression that the "HTML!" button is supposed to toggle HTML or plaintext editing mode for composing messages.  The html / text rendering options for reading email do work fine for me
[17:12] <aptux> Cannot hear *.kar files, although i have alsa and oss drivers, waht can be the problem?
[17:12] <sagredo> ActionParsnip:
[17:12] <sagredo> the resolv.conf only contains nameservers
[17:12] <erUSUL> Koryo_Sanders: if you want your wireless to be managed by NM you have to *not* configure it on interfaces
[17:13] <leeping2008> ActionParsnip, is the thunderbird configure folder supposed to be under ~/.mozilla?
[17:13] <sagredo> amenado: where are my apache.conf located?
[17:13] <erUSUL> !midi | aptux
[17:13] <ActionParsnip> sagredo: as well as your own localhost IP
[17:13] <coolbam14> i need help on how to install ubuntu
[17:13] <Koryo_Sanders> im not talking about my wireless atm erUSUL, somthing has just removed ETH0 from my file, thats my Ethernet!
[17:13] <Slart> leeping2008: I can't get a HTML! button in the editor window..
[17:13] <erUSUL> !ask | coolbam14
[17:14] <coolbam14> lol
[17:14] <coolbam14> hmm hold on
[17:14] <erUSUL> Koryo_Sanders: maybe it was the control center nm can mange wired interfaces too
[17:14] <amenado> sagredo-> look in /etc/apache2
[17:14] <WDC> Hey what RSS reader do you all use?
[17:14] <ActionParsnip> whoever was on about KAR files you'll need python-pykaraoke
[17:14] <Koryo_Sanders> but now i can't even enable it erUSUL from inside the control centre
[17:14] <erUSUL> WDC: google reader ;)
[17:14] <sagredo> amenado: where do I want to set my IP? I don't know what to change :/
[17:14] <ActionParsnip> WDC: none, id use firefox though
[17:14] <Grrai> o/ everyone
[17:14] <WDC> erUSUL: Hmmmm. I'd prefer a client. not online
[17:14] <WDC> ActionParsnip: hmmm.
[17:15] <leeping2008> Slart, same here.  Actually, I just realized something.  The HTML! button does nothing for composing messages... it's only supposed to alter the way messages are viewed
[17:15] <amenado> sagredo why are you even using apache? what are you trying to serve? you did some tutorials onapache yes?
[17:15] <Slart> leeping2008: http://www.chuonthis.com/extensions/buttons.php#features
[17:15] <Slart> leeping2008: yup
[17:15] <WDC> No more ideas?

[17:15] <sagredo> amenado: files
[17:15] <coolbam14> on step 4 of the partitioning stage it loads but theres no list of my partitions on where i want to install ubuntu
[17:15] <Slart> leeping2008: but there is a menu option for formatting in the edit window
[17:15] <Grrai> I run Xubuntu Gutsy, have all repos enabled but can't install package module-assistant. any suggestions?
[17:15] <WDC> ActionParsnip: I'll check tha out. Thanks
[17:15] <erUSUL> Koryo_Sanders: the truth is i never used kubuntu so dunno how things are managed by control center ...
[17:15] <ActionParsnip> !rss | WDC
[17:15] <WDC> Grrai: #xubuntu eh
[17:15] <sagredo> amenado: video and song files over the net. amenado I just apt-get install'd apache2
[17:15] <Grrai> oh sorry
[17:16] <Grrai> I'm off
[17:16] <amenado> sagredo well, open up your apache2.conf and maybe you find a Listen directive
[17:16] <WDC> Grrai: No problem
[17:16] <sagredo> amenado: I know my serv is working on the LAN, just not on the WAN
[17:16] <Grrai> bye
[17:16] <coolbam14> can anyone answer my question?
[17:16] <coolbam14> on step 4 of the partitioning stage it loads but theres no list of my partitions on where i want to install ubuntu
[17:16] <Koryo_Sanders> erUSUL, have an error message every time i try to apply new settings in the control centre. "Could not parse the XML. output from the network configuration backend." what the heck is that?
[17:16] <leeping2008> Slart, do you know of a way to toggle HTML in composition?  That's a pretty important feature for me .. The menu option for formatting does not have this toggle
[17:16] <jaazi> et.fi
[17:16] <ActionParsnip> coolbam14: ok if you run sudo fdisk -l do you get a listing?
[17:17] <leeping2008> Slart, I feel like a moron.  I just found it under "Options".  Sorry for leading you on a wild goose chase
[17:17] <Slart> leeping2008: hehe.. no worries
[17:17] <erUSUL> Koryo_Sanders: :| dunno... you can edit /etc/network/interfaces by hand and add eth0 back easily
[17:17] <sagredo> All: I've opened my firewalls port for Apache but am still failing to get through the router. What can I do to access it?
[17:18] <leeping2008> Slart: Thanks :) I think I can use Thunderbird more comfortably now
[17:18] <amenado> sagredo-> its in /etc/apache2/ports.conf
[17:18] <sagredo> amenado: w00t
[17:18] <amenado> sagredo may i suggest reading a lil tutorial on apache2 ?
[17:18] <ActionParsnip> leeping2008: imho html emails are a waste and too bulky
[17:18] <Koryo_Sanders> ugh :(
[17:18] <sagredo> amenado: I don't have the time right now, I need to jam to work
[17:18] <Koryo_Sanders> that means fighting with Vi again!
[17:19] <coolbam14> i get nothing on the terminal actionparnship
[17:19] <sagredo> amenado: I'm sure it's one minor thing, I'm just tyring to find the soul who knows ;)
[17:19] <ActionParsnip> Koryo_Sanders: use nano bro
[17:19] <erUSUL> Koryo_Sanders: use nano

[17:19] <Koryo_Sanders> er... whats nano?
[17:19] <eze182> server de ubuntu en español how i find it??
[17:19] <Koryo_Sanders> is it pre-installed with Ubuntu server CD?
[17:19] <amenado> sagredo i see, you dont have the time?  good luck
[17:19] <erUSUL> Koryo_Sanders: a text editor that's far easier then vi
[17:19] <ActionParsnip> Koryo_Sanders: cli based text editor, like vi, just easier
[17:19] <Koryo_Sanders> xD
[17:19] <foxbunny> hi, all
[17:19] <Koryo_Sanders> thanks guys
[17:19] <leeping2008> ActionParsnip, I don't use them often, but sometimes I type in Chinese and I must format it so that the characters are bigger - otherwise they are very difficult to read

[17:22] <Pupeno> How do you set the locale is Ubuntu?
[17:22] <Chooser> with the Live CD could I fix this trouble?

[17:27] <coolbam14> no not yet
[17:27] <RaedWulf_> ActionParsnip: here's the deal. A while back I installed Ubuntu Studio 8.04 (RT version), had a bunch of problems
[17:27] <Chooser> ActionParsnip: mount my partition and edit the file
[17:28] <Gnea> Otacon22: iirc, there's a separate audio-out jack on the back of the card that you can plug into the line-in of your sound card
[17:28] <RaedWulf_> re-partitioned and reinstalled, everything worked fine, I downloaded the generic kernel as well
[17:28] <coolbam14> should i test it now actionparsnip
[17:28] <ActionParsnip> Chooser: if you run sudo fdisk -l you'll see your partitions
[17:28] <kallu> i have one annoying problem with ubuntu, its not detecting my monitor to use maximum resolution
[17:28] <Otacon22> no Gnea
[17:28] <ActionParsnip> Chooser: you can then use mount to mount those partitions
[17:28] <Gnea> no?
[17:28] <nnull> kallu, welcome to the broken wagon
[17:28] <kallu> it is only outputing 1024x768 instead of maximum resolution 1280x1024
[17:29] <Gnea> Otacon22: no what?
[17:29] <Pupeno> which packages contains the locales?
[17:29] <treju> what's the easiest way to mount a NTFS-volume in ubuntu?  I found some tutorial about it, but when trying to save the fstab-file, i dont have the right permissions.  so, what next?
[17:29] <tsuna27> can you help me install flash
[17:29] <Otacon22> Gnea, no, there isn't
[17:29] <coolbam14> actionparsnip should i test it now?
[17:29] <erUSUL> Koryo_Sanders: a basic interfaces file → http://paste.ubuntu.com/40204/
[17:29] <kallu> nnull, you mean something is broken .. or is it only with my system
[17:29] <Slart> treju: edit the file as root, "gksudo gedit /etc/fstab" if you're using gnome
[17:29] <TomicBomb> hello :o
[17:29] <treju> Slart: thank you
[17:29] <ActionParsnip> coolbam14: yes, test the image on your hard drive with the md5
[17:29] <ActionParsnip> i gotta jet kids
[17:29] <ActionParsnip> peace
[17:29] <Gnea> Otacon22: there isn't what? an audio cord? an audio-out port? a line-in?
[17:30] <squarebracket> i'm trying to enable automatic login, but it won't stay checked. help?
[17:30] <coolbam14> ok
[17:30] <Slart> squarebracket: in system, administration, login window?
[17:30] <Chooser> ActionParsnip: and where is the file I need to change, and how a navigate to it?
[17:30] <Otacon22> Gnea, there is a connector, could be an RCA female connector
[17:30] <Koryo_Sanders> erUSUL, i have already remade the file, but when i type "sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart" i get a "fail" because it can't read the interfaces file.
[17:30] <kallu> is there any way to force default monitor resoultion in ubuntu
[17:30] <squarebracket> Slart: correct
[17:30] <Otacon22> i can try now
[17:30] <Koryo_Sanders> even through its in the right directory
[17:30] <Slart> squarebracket: did you enter a username in the textbox?
[17:31] <Gnea> Otacon22: no 1/8" female jack?
[17:31] <squarebracket> Slart: i selected a user from the drop down, i'll try typing
[17:31] <Otacon22> no
[17:31] <RaedWulf_> ActionParsnip: Then, after setting my screen resolution to 1280x1024 in the generic kernel, I couldn't get back into my RT kernel (it doesn't support more than 1024x768 for some reason), and I attempted to recover my Xserver in order to get back  in. To make a long story short, I had to create recovery partitions using the install disk, and now my Grub boot menu has the following options: Ubuntu Studio RT, Ubuntu Studio RT Recovery, Ubuntu Studio Generic, U
[17:31] <RaedWulf_> buntu Studio Generic Recovery, Ubuntu Studio Memtest, and finally, Windows XP.

[17:31] <Gnea> Otacon22: what about turning on the software mixer in volume control switches?
[17:31] <erUSUL> Koryo_Sanders: does that matc h what you get?
[17:31] <squarebracket> Slart: no dice
[17:31] <Slart> squarebracket: selecting a user works for me here at least..
[17:31] <Otacon22> Gnea, of witch card?
[17:31] <Slart> squarebracket: you're selecting a normal user account, right?
[17:31] <RaedWulf_> ActionParsnip: the problem is, after all of that was done, when I boot back up into XP, I can't see one of my partitions anymore. It asks me if I want to format it. I can see the contents of it under Linux, but it simply won't be seen under XP.
[17:32] <squarebracket> Slart: what do you mean by normal?
[17:32] <Gnea> Otacon22: you mean 'which'. either.

[17:32] <Kartagis> next to date on my laptop, there is a little keyboard which i think is scim. now i'm trying to make it appear on my desktop too but it's not happening. how can i do it?
[17:32] <Otacon22> Gnea, there are 2 cards: my audio card and the tv audio card
[17:32] <Otacon22> Gnea, the tv card is seen also as audio card
[17:33] <Koryo_Sanders> interfaces -rw-rw-rw- 1 root root 92 erUSUL
[17:33] <Gnea> Otacon22: right, so try turning the mix on for both and see what happens.
[17:33] <RaedWulf_> ActionParsnip: my hdd configuration is as follows: one 160gb hdd partitioned in two - Drive C with XP, Drive D called documents, and in it I created a separate partition for Ubuntu... adding up to 3 partitions for the same physical hdd.

[17:33] <erUSUL> Koryo_Sanders: the permissions seems mostly ok ...

[17:34] <Gnea> riddlebox: plug it in.
[17:35] <riddlebox> erUSUL, it is usb, and it is plugged in

[17:36] <compy> is there a command from terminal to connect to wireless internet
[17:36] <Koryo_Sanders> Gnea, that was not in spite! that was in sorry cause im so livid with myself for doing the same dahm thing twice, and was hoping someone would have a solution

[17:37] <tsuna27> how do i install java
[17:37] <squarebracket> Slart: i forgot i set auto-login in kde... i disabled that, restarting... maybe it will work now :S
[17:38] <Slart> squarebracket: lets hope
[17:38] <compy> anyone?
[17:38] <mehul> yes
[17:38] <Gnea> Koryo_Sanders: in my experience, i've found it better not to muck directly with the /etc/network/* files, but to edit settings in the network configuration utility that is found on the upper-right of the desktop on the bar
[17:38] <squarebracket> arg! X fails me again :(
[17:38] <Slart> squarebracket: I just tried setting the auto-login to an non-existing username.. and it accepted it without any protests..
[17:38] <squarebracket> oh wait, there we go.
[17:39] <shishirm1> does any1 know about repositories from where i can google gadgets for linux
[17:39] <squarebracket> hmm.
[17:39] <Koryo_Sanders> Gnea, is that in KDE?

[17:40] <Gnea> Koryo_Sanders: sorry, I hadn't seen any mention of you using kubuntu. That would be in the network connection portion of the settings page
[17:40] <erUSUL> riddlebox: it should be /dev/scd0 or scd1 or something similar
[17:40] <squarebracket> Slart: still nothing :( think it's listed in gconf-editor?
[17:40] <Fjss> How do I get cddb for rhythmbox? I can't find it under plugins

[17:41] <riddlebox> erUSUL, mount: special device /dev/scd0 does not exist

[17:41] <compy> where do i find it
[17:42] <Gnea> Koryo_Sanders: you will probably get a better answer if you ask in #ubuntu-server
[17:42] <Slart> squarebracket: the autologin setting is in /etc/gdm/gdm.conf
[17:42] <erUSUL> florian: check out "filemon mortadelo" on google it is hard to set up but ...
[17:42] <Koryo_Sanders> Gnea, see, i wish i had known that b4 xD thank you very much ^^
[17:43] <riddlebox> Gnea, you got any ideas?

[18:12] <cwill747> treetop: hm. then i don't know. The no sound with firefox is a common problem, and that's the only fix i know, unless its a problem with ubuntu. in that case see !sound

[18:16] <niklaus> hey everybody
[18:16] <C0p3rn1c> envyng nvidia driver 173.14.12 is unstable on my system
[18:17] <C0p3rn1c> after a while xorg is eating alot of cpu time
[18:19] <qr_> C0p3rn1c: and you're sure it's the nvidia drivers that cause this? (I ask because I've had a similar problem on a machine using much older nvidia drivers)
[18:19] <niklaus> hi everybody
[18:19] <iMatter> Im stilll having the USB problem, same problem as this guy but i have x86 Ubuntu 8.04.1
[18:19] <cwill747> C0p3rn1c: yeah, envy packages will do that
[18:19] <iMatter> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/177235
[18:19] <C0p3rn1c> qr_, not sure no, the guys from #compiz told me that
[18:20] <iMatter> and im getting really slow transfer speeds used to be 856KB/s but i disabled usb legacy support in bios and now its around 1.3 -> 1.4MB/s i used to get around 10->13MB/s
[18:20] <qr_> C0p3rn1c: interesting.  You could be right, I never did figure out what's causing it for me, although I am not using envy drivers, I installed the nvidia drivers manually from their site.
[18:20] <iMatter> at least but now its dropping back into KB/s
[18:21] <scales11> hi all i am able to see my sound card when i am looking in the mixer but i cannot seem to get any sound from my speakers

[18:22] <MAT1> QUIT
[18:22] <qr_> C0p3rn1c: Sorry I can't check now, the machine with the problem is one at work.  I installed the drivers back sometime around December though, so if 177 is newer than that I've probably got a different version.

[18:27] <Gnea> !wireless | jrockpunk1
[18:27] <IV_Warrior> i forget the exact steps, but for it to be permanent you have to edit grub and add "acpi=off" to the end of one of the lines....give me a minute to google and i can probably find the steps

I want to do a server install, basically no gui etc. (going to run it as a webserver - basic home use.) do i need to use a server ed image or can i pass a specific option as beggining of installation? have read help files and find nothing there
[18:31] <rtz3673> jrockpunk1: if you cannot even tell the difference between minipci and cardbus, it's gonna be hard
[18:31] <jrockpunk1> that tell u anything?

[18:31] <adakos> hey, if i wanted to install the ubuntu-desktop package, so if i needed to do some things in graphical mode (on my server, i.e. setting up video encoding without command line) how would I do three things: 1) default to text-mode on startup, 2) boot into GUI mode when needed, and 3) remote desktop in, if needed (VNC-server?)
[18:31] <jrockpunk1> its internal as well
[18:32] <mercedes> how do i get the 5.1 setting of my soundcard to work on ubuntu
[18:32] <rtz3673> jrockpunk1: that's not the lspci output

[18:32] <Mercuree> mercedes try #electronics. theres a guy there that can prolly help you. cant remember his nick
[18:33] <rtz3673> jrockpunk1: but guessing from the mac address of wlan0, it's a intel card

[18:33] <rtz3673> jrockpunk1: it doesn't show up on lspci. must be a usb device

[18:35] <rtz3673> jrockpunk1: only lsusb
[18:35] <kc8pxy> jrockpunk1:  you can connect here from the livecd IIRC.

[18:39] <hitman1985> hi @ all, is there a hdd diagnostics tool and maybe a hdd overwriting tool for ubuntu ?
[18:39] <Mercuree> HymnToLife thanks. so I would have to use the server cd? surely the desktop cd contains all the neccessary server install part plus additional gui stuff?
[18:39] <jrockpunk1> :(:( is there any way to find out what my wireless chipset is on windows then?
[18:39] <riddlebox> Gnea,, any clues on this external cdrom?
[18:40] <hitman1985> something what destroys all the data what is on several external drives and overrides it like crazy so its impossible to regain the files ?
[18:40] <jrockpunk1> cya then
[18:40] <rtz3673> jrockpunk1: i don't use windows at all, but the details in device manage should give you some vendor/product id (two four digit hex values)
[18:41] <_empa__> what's the fastest linuxdistro out there? linpus?
[18:41] <japherwocky> or how about.. is there a way to search amongst installed packages?

[18:42] <Mercuree> japherwocky apt-cache search packagename
[18:42] <Mercuree> i think
[18:42] <Mercuree> cant remember exact syntax
[18:42] <hitman1985> bullgard4,  is it in the synaptic or should i google for it ?
[18:43] <rtz3673> Mercuree: syntax is correct
[18:43] <bullgard4> hitman1985: There are several 'Overwriting' tools. Please be more specific. Most depend on the filesystem you are using.
[18:43] <firefly2442> I setup dhcp3-server on my machine and am sharing my internet connection, I can ping 192.168.1.1 but I can't connect to my FTP server on the same machine
[18:43] <bullgard4> hitman1985: hdparm is provided by Synaptic.
[18:43] <Mercuree> rtz3673 ok
[18:43] <hitman1985> bullgard4, i got several hdds here from clients like accounting companys and so on, real important files about customers from them on there
[18:44] <firefly2442> Can I provide a separate IP address for local stuff and another one for DHCP requests?
[18:44] <dotech> is there a safe way to switch from 64-bit ubuntu to 32-bit without starting from scratch?
[18:44] <hitman1985> bullgard4, therefor the hdds have to be either trashed (which would be a waste) so i was tryin to kinda like override them like that one windows app advertises 5 x or something
[18:45] <rockyrock> how can i make my Desktop like this one? http://img246.imageshack.us/img246/2299/deskpk0.jpg
[18:45] <guntbert> hitman1985:  search in google for "erase harddisk"

[19:02] <The-Compiler> Is there any way to download the newest xkcd in a script? A possibelity would be to use the XML, then I simply would have to search the first >> img src="http://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/moving.png" <<. So simply search for >>img src="<< and then output the text until the next ". How would that be possible
[19:03] <kane77> The-Compiler, that should not be problem..
[19:03] <firefly2442> The-Compiler: you could use BASH scripting
[19:03] <SherlawkDragon> I can't seem to get my other two drives to mount...

[19:08] <SherlawkDragon> you're getting the bottom corner only?
[19:09] <BVBBQ> bingo
[19:09] <SherlawkDragon> did you try messing with the monitor?
[19:09] <SherlawkDragon> what kind of monitor is it?
[19:09] <SherlawkDragon> if it's a Cathode Ray, mess with the dials on it, see if it's misaligned
[19:09] <firefly2442> if it's an LCD you could try the auto button (if it has one)
[19:10] <BVBBQ> i just tried to fix an existing driver issue by resetting my xorg.conf file.
[19:10] <nnull> lawl why doesnt xchat show up in the process list... fooken lawl

[19:11] <LiraNuna> anyone has an idea why ipw2200 doesn't work on a fresh install of hardy? it used to work out of the box
[19:11] <firefly2442> or if you have a backup?...
[19:11] <chazco> Hi.. does anyone know how to force the intel x driver to use a higher resolution than can be displayed and scroll it? I tried using "Virtual" in Xorg.conf but it didnt work
[19:11] <Naifs> omg
[19:11] <SherlawkDragon> BVBBQ> did that work?
[19:12] <BVBBQ> im not sure about the backup, one moment
[19:13] <SherlawkDragon> BVBBQ> if not, you need to clean reinstall the driver, I don't know how to do that.

I am trying to install Ubunto (latest 8.03 or something), but once the bootable cd finishes I get a black screen. In the middle of loading randomly the screen will flicker but thats about it.

[19:23] <Connor>                            
[19:23] <firefly2442> SherlawkDragon: yeah, I would try loading up Gnome, just to see if it's possible to mount it that way

[19:24] <DarkPrince> sushiX: Would it matter any if I said that even my BIOS doesn't show with DVI, but with a DVI-VGA adaptor the bios will show up?
[19:24] <SherlawkDragon> ok, I'll try that then, thanks...
[19:24] <Doonz> i got so used to SATA that i forgot to check to see what the ide drive was set to
[19:24] <Sub101> sherlawkdragon: did u shutdown windows or just hibernate/suspend?
[19:24] <stryd_one> rockyrock: yes it's compiz. install simple-ccsm and you'll get a gui to install a blingy preset with transparency on
[19:24] <Doonz> i beleive its set as slave
[19:24] <Doonz> would that cause it not to boot?
[19:24] <firefly2442> floppyears: acidrip
[19:24] <DarkPrince> I'll be back when I am done trying it. :s
[19:24] <firefly2442> floppyears: sudo apt-get install acidrip
[19:24] <floppyears> thanks firefly2442
[19:24] <EvilDennisR> Hmm, I have this HP dv9000 laptop. I can't seem to get the multimedia remote control to work. A quick google search is telling me it should "work out of the box" - no such luck.. Anyone point me in the right direction ?
[19:24] <TwoD> Doonz, that might be a problem, if it's on the master position at the end of the cable, but set as slave, but I'm not sure.
[19:24] <SherlawkDragon> Sub101> no windows.
[19:24] <Doonz> hmm
[19:25] <SherlawkDragon> Sub101> just the partition.
[19:25] <Naifs> WHO FROM RUSSIA?
[19:25] <Doonz> brb
[19:25] <SherlawkDragon> I can't boot from it
[19:25] <sushiX> DarkPrince : thats kinda weird but have u tried a live cd with a  DVI-VGA adaptor
[19:25] <SherlawkDragon> so I see no reason for any change...
[19:25] <DarkPrince> I am about to. I'll report back.
[19:25] <Myrtti> !ru | Naifs
[19:26] <stryd_one> myrtti: i saw a link to all the bot's triggers the other day, do you know it?
[19:26] <EvilDennisR> env doesn't give me anything when I press buttons on the media remote
[19:26] <Myrtti> !bot | stryd_one
[19:26] <Sub101> sherlawkdragon: well i suspect it is that you were accessing it so it hasnt done a clean shutdown on the drive. try logging into windows and shutdown. then back in ubuntu give it a go
 no, thank
[19:27] <Myrtti> stryd_one: HTH, HAND :-)
[19:27] <Doonz> Damn
[19:27] <stryd_one> that's it, thanks Myrtti
[19:27] <BVBBQ> what is the easy way to go back to my last good xorg.conf file?
[19:27] <Doonz> TwoD it was all set as the master already. and i tried with it being the only device on the ide cable and still same error
[19:28] <PriceChild> BVBBQ: did you, or a script make a backup in /etc/X11?
[19:28] <GL-san> hmm, quick question, after i've my dual monitor set up, how do i make certain applications start only on the monitor i want them to run on?
[19:28] <Naifs> !ru | Naifs
[19:28] <stryd_one> BVBBQ: restore from the backup you wisely created before editing it :D
[19:28] <BVBBQ> i need the command to do that, i have a backup
[19:28] <stryd_one> copy the backup over the broken one?
[19:28] <firefly2442> BVBBQ: I think you can do sudo dpkg-reconfigure xorg-server and this will recreate everything (can anyone confirm this?)
[19:29] <stryd_one> i believe firefly2442 is correct
[19:29] <tuchki> hello, how can i connect a computer with ubuntu to another with windows to transfer files?
[19:29] <BVBBQ> firefly2442, that is basically how i got myself into this mess,
[19:29] <gmaia> hi, please...in my display appear "out of range", what i do?
[19:29] <BVBBQ> firefly2442, i have to use a highly modified xorg file in order for things to work properly.
[19:29] <BVBBQ> firefly2442, well, partially properly
[19:30] <GL-san> well, now that we're on this topic, how can you set applications to start always on the same monitor
[19:30] <firefly2442> BVBBQ: hmm dunno sorry :/
[19:30] <GL-san> if you've more than one
[19:30] <DarkPrince> DVI->VGA adaptor worked
[19:30] <TwoD> Doonz, hmm... tried disconnecting the other drives as well and recheck the bios settings, just to be super sure it's the only disk being searched for an MBR?
[19:30] <Doonz> yeah that was one of the first things it trie
[19:30] <firefly2442> GL-san: like run on startup?
[19:30] <stryd_one> tuchki: you want the GUI way or the command line way?
[19:30] <Doonz> tried*
[19:30] <GL-san> no
[19:30] <BVBBQ> PriceChild, i made the backup
[19:30] <GL-san> like, i want firefox to run always on my second monitor
[19:31] <GL-san> but when i start it up, it will always start on first monitor
[19:31] <tuchki> stryd_one, i would prefer the gui way
[19:31] <floppyears> firefly2442: does acidrip allow me to copy a movie dvd into a blank dvd ?
[19:31] <PriceChild> BVBBQ: then copy it into place
[19:31] <floppyears> firefly2442: or just into the hd ?
[19:31] <firefly2442> floppyears: I think just to HD
[19:31] <Sofisti1> Hi to everybody i have hp pavillon with ubuntu and i cannot enable Opengl because system don't recognize video card i tried restricted and no restricted driver of Nvidia with no good result i tried to do some change in xorg.conf file and no good result do you have any idea?
[19:31] <Sofisti1> o suggestions?
[19:32] <BVBBQ> PriceChild, i can only see a small section of my monitor, the rest is black, and wouldnt i need sudo priveleges to rename a protected system file?
[19:32] <floppyears> firefly2442: is there something that allows me to burn back to a blank dvd ?
[19:32] <firefly2442> floppyears: if you right click on the DVD and create an .iso you can then copy it to a DVD
[19:32] <TwoD> Doonz, I just remembered I had a problem with an earlier version of Ubuntu which might be related. I have 1 IDE and 4 SATA drives. I installed Ubuntu to the 1st SATA drive, which also had Windows, but the MBR was written to the IDE disk, causing it to not be found at boot. If I set it to boot from the IDE, boot would fail as there wasn't actually any OS on that disk. Had to reinstall GRUB/Ubuntu with only the SATA disk and put the others back in later.
[19:32] <PriceChild> ouch, and yes
[19:32] <PriceChild> BVBBQ: ouch, and yes
[19:32] <floppyears> firefly2442: thx
[19:32] <Doonz> TwoD ok ill give that a go
[19:32] <firefly2442> floppyears: or you could just use a burning program like K3b
[19:32] <BVBBQ> PriceChild, is there a terminal command that i can use to rollback to my last xorg.conf backup?
[19:33] <firefly2442> floppyears: and copy it straight from the DVD without copying it to HD I think
[19:33] <PriceChild> BVBBQ: to restore it to defaults, ctrl+alt+f1, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg  && sudo invoke-rc.d gdm restart && exit
[19:33] <floppyears> firefly2442: thx
[19:33] <GL-san> TwoD,  there's an option at install, that lets you choose where you want to installt he grub loader
[19:33] <gmaia> hi, please...in my display appear "out of range", what i do?
[19:33] <floppyears> firefly2442: yeah I was trying to use k3b, but it doesn't seem to have a copy dvd feature
[19:33] <BVBBQ> PriceChild, problem is i cant use a stock xorg file, that is what i am using know and i feel like stevie wonder
[19:33] <Doonz> GL-san... Is that at the initial screen?
[19:34] <firefly2442> floppyears: yeah, creating the ISO is pretty easy IMO
[19:34] <floppyears> firefly2442: cool thx
[19:34] <GL-san> no, it is when you create your partition
[19:34] <GL-san> and they're going to be written to disk
[19:34] <BVBBQ> PriceChild, would that give me a stock file or my last backup?
[19:34] <TwoD> GL-san, there was no such option when I installed from the LiveCD I think. And I ran that install 3 times to make sure, before getting it right the 4th (without the IDE plugged in)
[19:34] <GL-san> if you click on advanced
[19:34] <GL-san> you get options for the grub
[19:34] <guntbert> BVBBQ: sudo cp <your backup> /etc/X11/xorg.conf; can you open a terminal?
[19:34] <floppyears> firefly2442: do you mean right clicking on the dvd in the places menu or somewhere else ?
[19:34] <floppyears> to make the iso
[19:34] <PriceChild> BVBBQ: stock
[19:34] <tuchki> stryd_one, but if you know trougth command line i can try it
[19:34] <Doonz> GL-san you mean manual?
[19:34] <GL-san> yes
[19:35] <Doonz> oh
[19:35] <Doonz> ill go give her a shot
[19:35] <Sofisti1> please none can help me?
[19:35] <Doonz> or it a shot
[19:35] <BVBBQ> guntbert, i can open a terminal.
[19:35] <Doonz> thanx
[19:35] <GL-san> kk
[19:35] <PriceChild> BVBBQ: sudo cp backup /etc/X11/xorg.conf && sudo invoke.rc-d && exit, would restore your backup. Replace "backup" with the location of your backup file
[19:35] <firefly2442> floppyears: well, like when it shows up on the desktop
[19:35] <floppyears> firefly2442: cool, thanks
[19:35] <GL-san> so, anyone got an idea for me?
[19:35] <GL-san> bind applications to specific monitors
[19:36] <JordiGH> Does Ubuntu have any official position on GFDLed docs?
[19:36] <BVBBQ> PriceChild, the backup is in the same folder with -backup and some numbers attached to the end of it
[19:36] <guntbert> BVBBQ: then you should be ok with the command above, I hope
[19:36] <TiredWolf> JordiGH: no idea, perhaps #ubuntu-doc knows better
[19:36] <PriceChild> BVBBQ: well there you go then :)
[19:36] <firefly2442> later, gotta configure some stuff on another machine
[19:37] <BVBBQ> PriceChild, so just paste what you wrote and pray
[19:37] <rockyrock> what's the name of VirtualBox in the repos?I have Hardy with Intel 86x processor
[19:37] <ipfa> hola
[19:37] <bj_> how do i tell which video drivers im using?
[19:37] <ipfa> algun español
[19:37] <PriceChild> BVBBQ: no
[19:37] <GL-san> yo hablo, pero no tengo mucha experiencia
[19:37] <PriceChild> BVBBQ: understand what it does.
[19:37] <GL-san> :p
[19:38] <tuchki> ipfa, si quieres ayuda en español entra al canal de españa
[19:38] <PriceChild> BVBBQ: for all you know, i could be giving you a commad to send all your personal data over to me, or delete your hard drive
[19:38] <rockyrock> ﻿what's the name of VirtualBox in the repos?I have Hardy with Intel 86x processor
[19:38] <JordiGH> TiredWolf: Thanks.
[19:38] <stryd_one> tuchki: browse to the folder you want to share. right click it. select the sharing menu. tick the box at the top. it will say that you need to install stuff. install it. then it will give you an error. reboot. browse, right-click...sharing, tick the box, it will work :)
[19:39] <BVBBQ> PriceChild, i understand enough of it to get the gist of its meaning, but specifics i dont know, and the only personal data you would get is my personal folders of certain photographs i have taken of some nice young ladies
[19:39] <TwoD> PriceChild, hush! Don't reveal that! ;)
[19:39] <PriceChild> BVBBQ: would you like it explained?
[19:39] <tuchki> stryd_one, ok, im going to reboot..
[19:39] <BVBBQ> PriceChild, i would appreciate that
[19:39] <stryd_one> rocky: did you try a search?
[19:40] <unop> PriceChild, not sure your command will work
[19:40] <stryd_one> tuchki: i'll be here when you get back
[19:40] <PriceChild> BVBBQ: might want to hold up there a second...
[19:40] <andrewluy> Hi!
[19:40] <PriceChild> unop: what've I done? :)
[19:40] <PriceChild> ohhh
[19:40] <PriceChild> forgot -pcritical
[19:41] <unop> PriceChild, sudo invoke.rc-d  .. should acutally be.  sudo invoke-rc.d  ...
[19:41] <PriceChild> bah
[19:41] <PriceChild> silly mistake
[19:41] <PriceChild> unop: thanks
[19:41] <unop> PriceChild, and it's missing a service as an argument
[19:41] <unop> plus an action
[19:41]  * PriceChild headdesks
[19:41] <bullgard4> !players
[19:41] <yosarian> Hi, I need some help
[19:42] <TwoD> !codecs
[19:42] <BVBBQ> *searches for stevie wonder glasses, he cant see a damn thing
[19:42] <PriceChild> BVBBQ: ok so its 3 commands in one. First off is sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -pcritical
[19:42] <yosarian> I ndon't remember the name of a software that help me to install the Arial ant Times New Roman fonts
[19:43] <scales11> hey all so wubi installed the 64 bit ubuntu
[19:43] <PriceChild> BVBBQ: that tells dpkg to reinstall the xserver-xorg package configuratino (which contains xorg.conf)  so you get a clean one
[19:43] <TiredWolf> !fonts > yosarian
[19:43] <scales11> or so i think.  how can i check?
[19:43] <PriceChild> BVBBQ: && tells it to do the next bit when done
[19:44] <PriceChild> BVBBQ: sudo invoke-rc.d gdm restart, tells it to restart gdm, so your X gets started again reading the new configuration
[19:44] <PriceChild> BVBBQ: another &&, then exit logs out of the vt
[19:44] <yosarian> Thanks ubottu
[19:44] <PriceChild> BVBBQ: oh and the '-pcritical' in the first bit makes it ask no questions.
[19:44] <BVBBQ> ok, well it cant be worse than this
[19:44] <Killer--Tux> hello you all
[19:45] <Killer--Tux> how can i make a virtualbox pickup a external hard drive
[19:45] <PriceChild> BVBBQ: so sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -pcritical && sudo invoke-rc.d gdm restart && exit
[19:45] <BVBBQ> im giving it a shot, see if it works
[19:46] <robelliott2125> Does anyone know why an SWF file would play slowly in FF3?  The addon's I have loaded are fine, as they're also on my XP Dual Boot, and the SWF File isn't slow on there.
[19:46] <Dans34> currently i have to type /usr/bin/perl *.pl to run a perl script is there a way to be able to type just filename.pl in the terminal ?
[19:46] <refefer> hi there.  Is there anyway I could image a complete harddrive to external server or harddrive?  I'm upgrading my hd and don't want to have to reinstall everything
[19:47] <refefer> robelliott2125: have you tried reinstalling it?
[19:47] <robelliott2125> FF3 refefer?
[19:47] <refefer> robelliott2125: the flash player
[19:47] <mr_daniel> how can I find out which processes are accessing my wireless card wlan0 ???
[19:47] <robelliott2125> Urmmmm, wouldn't know how to refefer
[19:48] <stryd_one> refefer: dd?
[19:48] <kavon> so, if i were to install ubuntu on a PPC architecture, would I just go download the source of programs I need that are for x86 and compile the sources on PPC?
[19:48] <refefer> stryd_one: not sure I follow
[19:48] <Dans34> currently i have to type /usr/bin/perl *.pl to run a perl script is there a way to be able to type just filename.pl in the terminal ?
[19:48] <refefer> robelliott2125: which version of flash are you using?
[19:48] <TiredWolf> refefer: type "man dd"
[19:49] <refefer> TiredWolf: thanks, I will
[19:49] <robelliott2125> Don't know refefer.  I think 6.
[19:49] <GL-san> so, again, is there any way to bind applications to specific displays in ubuntu?
[19:49] <guntbert> mr_daniel: try "lsof -i", it gives you all open internet-files and the processes
[19:49] <SherlawkDragon> what's a good SFTP client?
[19:49] <stryd_one> hoping you guys can advise me on a tweak... In the top left corner of every windows is the menu you can use to close the window.... i'm used to being able to double-click that to close (yeh i'm a windows victim)... is there any way to do that?
[19:49] <refefer> robelliott2125: you can check by going to firefox 3 -> tools -> addons -> plugins and checking it out
[19:49] <GL-san> sftp
[19:50] <GL-san> or filezilla
[19:50] <robelliott2125> refefer:  sudo apt-get sun-java6-plugin
[19:50] <Flannel> SherlawkDragon: Try Filezilla
[19:50] <refefer> SherlawkDragon: filezilla is also good
[19:50] <GL-san> sftp or filezilla
[19:50] <refefer> robelliott2125: you said a swf file right?
[19:50] <mr_daniel> gunsch: thx for your help  :)
[19:50] <refefer> robelliott2125: that's adobe flash, not java
[19:50] <robelliott2125> Yes refefer.  The above is how i installed it
[19:50] <SherlawkDragon> anyone know a good SFTP capable client?
[19:50] <TiredWolf> refefer: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem see "creating images using dd", and/or https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery#Data%20Recovery%20from%20damaged%20filesystem%20or%20drive
[19:50] <Flannel> SherlawkDragon: as has been said: filezilla
[19:50] <SherlawkDragon> oh, already asked...
[19:50] <robelliott2125> refefer, Java - Plug-in 1.6.0_06
[19:51] <SherlawkDragon> Flannel> tried it.
[19:51] <GL-san> SherlawkDragon,  we already told you, sftp or filezilla.
[19:51] <SherlawkDragon> doesn't seem to work...
[19:51] <Flannel> SherlawkDragon: I can guarantee that it works
[19:51] <Doonz> GL-san  thanc for that advice. when i manually partitioned the drive. it came up with another screen just before it started the install where i clicked on advance and it was trying to install the grub loader to HD0 when it need to goto sdf. hopefully that fixes my problem
[19:51] <the_mak> can I install KDE in ubuntu ??
[19:51] <GL-san> SherlawkDragon,  are you sure you're using the right port?
[19:51] <SherlawkDragon> oh, hold on, NOW he's giving me a differen't reason why it's not working...
[19:51] <GL-san> normal ftp runs by deffault on port21, sftp on port 22
[19:51] <kamellia4e> hi
[19:51] <Flannel> the_mak: yep, install the "kubuntu-desktop" package
[19:51] <SherlawkDragon> nevermind...
[19:52] <refefer> robelliott2125: the problem isn't java if it is a SWF file.  It's Adobe Flash that plays it, so we need to find out if that is up-to-date and if so reinstall it
[19:52] <GL-san> that should do it doonz
[19:52] <GL-san> that's what that option is for
[19:52] <refefer> robelliott2125: in the 'plugins' on FF3, check out the shockwave flash plugin
[19:52] <robelliott2125> refefer I have Shockwave Flash installed
[19:52] <bullgard4> [T42] Ich habe keinen Ton mehr. Ubuntu 8.04-1. ALSA-Mixer ist eingeschaltet. System > Einstellungen > Audio > Geräte > (Klangereignisse) > Audiowiedergabe > Automatisch erkennen > Test erzeugt keinen Piep.
[19:53] <kavon> Is it possible to download the source of a program made for x86 processors and compile it on a PPC processor in ubuntu?
[19:53] <robelliott2125> refefer - Shockwave Flash 9.0 r124
[19:53] <Flannel> !de | bullgard4
[19:53] <mitesh> SherlawkDragon: how about ssh?
[19:53] <BVBBQ> PriceChild, haha! it worked
[19:53] <linxeh> kavon: sometimes
[19:53] <Dans34> currently i have to type /usr/bin/perl *.pl to run a perl script is there a way to be able to type just filename.pl in the terminal ?
[19:53] <refefer> robelliott2125: hmm, that's the current version.  Do you have a link to the swf that won't work?
[19:53] <BVBBQ> PriceChild, and somehow it is even working better than before. but it does seem like it is operating with the wrong refresh rates
[19:53] <linxeh> Dans34: do ./filename.pl (with the .pl file chmod executable)
[19:53] <Flannel> Dans34: set it +x, and even without that, you only have to type "perl blah.pl"
[19:53] <robelliott2125> refefer, i have it locally loaded, so I could continue playing the game
[19:54] <Doonz> Gl-san yeah cause i always just did it automatically  and never set things myself
[19:54] <oddgoose> Dans34: and make sure the first line of the file contains "#!/usr/bin/perl -w"
[19:54] <Dans34> thanks .. works a treat
[19:54] <kavon> linxeh: sometimes? whats an example of a type of program that this wouldn't work for?
[19:54] <PriceChild> BVBBQ: that should be easyish to fix, system > admin in there somewhere
[19:54] <PriceChild> bv	say thanks to unop also!
[19:54] <GL-san> yeah, deffault settings work for most case scenarios
[19:54] <GL-san> but sometimes you've to tweak your own
[19:54] <refefer> robelliott2125: ok, now I understand you a bit better.  I've never had any luck playing locally loaded SWFs that I have acquired through FF3, windows or ubuntu.  Maybe someone else will chime in with better info
[19:55] <mitesh> Dans34: make sure the first line contains "#!/usr/bin/perl"  or where ever your perl is
[19:55] <BVBBQ> unop, thanks to you as well for helping me out. might've put my head through a window if i had to use my computer like that for long
[19:55] <refefer> robelliott2125: good luck, if it's a video, I'd check VLC Player
[19:55] <robelliott2125> refefer, it plays perfectly in windows (the same swf), and the website itself is slow too refefer (in linux)
[19:55] <GL-san> mplayer > vlc
[19:55] <BVBBQ> PriceChild, hmm, seems i have an issue with my x server

[19:59] <adakos> im running a server, but i want to be abgle to boot into gnome to diagnose certain problems and perform certain tasks. I will install it will apt-get install ubuntu-desktop , but how do i have it boot up to text-mode by edfault, and then how can i boot into gnome when needed?
[19:59] <adakos> or icewm or anything
[19:59] <cwill747> LiraNuna: haha well idk some people don't
[19:59] <LiraNuna> cwill747, I said I read the forums and they don't work
[19:59] <SwK2> hi i am running my linux box without monitor and i use VNC viewer to see the GUI.
[20:00] <SwK2> now i am facing problem with its resolution
[20:00] <adakos> swK2 does that work ? i dont even have it installed, (the ubuntu desktop)
[20:00] <Fome> Hi! I have some sound issues with Hardy. Sound works initially, but after opening a few different apps, other apps suddenly can't play sound. So for example after watching youtube, totem won't play an mp3. In System -> preferences -> Sound when I click Test, I don't hear anything (but I do if I reboot or close some apps)
[20:00] <SwK2> i am always getting 640x480
[20:00] <Gnea> LiraNuna: you were pretty vague about the whole 'forums' thing. ubuntuforums.org would be the forums, with https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs being a help site, not a forum.
[20:00] <LiraNuna> I used ubuntu for 3 years. and I always use open source drivers. I know ipw2200 is pure open source supported by intel, but it doesn't work with OOTB install with latest 8.04.1
[20:00] <Fome> using pulseaudio btw
[20:00] <Gnea> LiraNuna: do you have any logs with errors that you could pastebin?
[20:00] <SwK2> yes it is working
[20:00] <LiraNuna> it used to work with 7.10 without a hassle
[20:00] <LiraNuna> Gnea, everything looks fine that's the problem
[20:00] <stryd_one> hoping you guys can advise me on a tweak... In the top left corner of every windows is the menu you can use to close the window.... i'm used to being able to double-click that to close (yeh i'm a windows victim)... is there any way to do that?
[20:00] <GL-san> lol
[20:00] <Splex> Fome: make sure all your apps are set to use gstreamer  or pulsesink
[20:01] <cwill747> !info libflashsupport | Fome
[20:01] <GL-san> i told my gf i'm runing ubuntu, she's like. Oh :O that pretty one with the wobbly windows?
[20:01] <Splex> GL-san: lol
[20:01] <Splex> nice to see ubuntu has good rep for looking pretty haha
[20:01] <adakos> GL-san: hah, nice
[20:01] <zelrikriando> Fome, you can also try flash 10
[20:01] <cwill747> GL-san: my gf wouldn't understand what i was talking about... i hate not dating nerds XD
[20:01] <GL-san> i used ubuntu livecd to recover some stuff from her pc before
[20:02] <Splex> lol
[20:02] <GL-san> and she was watching
[20:02] <GL-san> she loved it
[20:02] <GL-san> lol
[20:02] <SwK2> with monitor physically connected it configures the resolution to 1024x768 but when i start my linux without monitor it sets the resolution as 640x480 any idea to resolve this?
[20:02] <FloodBot1> GL-san: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[20:02] <Splex> :D:D
[20:02] <G3N0> anyone here familiar with airocrack?
[20:02] <Splex> its up to you to enlighten her of the intelligent ways in this world
[20:02] <GL-san> cwill747,  i've taugh my gf everything she knows about computers
[20:02] <GL-san> before she met me she didn't use pcs
[20:02] <Splex> GL-san: me too
[20:02] <Gnea> LiraNuna: well, i'm not going to assume anything, and i hope that you won't either.  now, does the interface show up correctly with iwconfig?
[20:02] <cwill747> Splex, GL-san: Idk it's hard to teach a band geek these things
[20:02] <nex3> I'm trying to add myself to a group, but it's not showing up in the id command
[20:02] <Splex> GL-san and i installed ubuntu for her... she loves it
[20:02] <Fome> how do I get the universe extra packages?
[20:02] <LiraNuna> Gnea, yes and it tries to connects but it fails
[20:02] <nex3> Might I be misunderstanding how this works?
[20:03] <Prikolchik> does anybody know if there is any way i can reset the configuration of the wireless card? Even if i blacklist drivers it still recognizes the card as wrong type
[20:03] <Splex> cwill747: yes, thank myspace and facebook and the media for dumbing the mainstream down so much :P
[20:03] <Gnea> LiraNuna: connects to what?
[20:03] <MAT1> !UBOTU
[20:03] <LiraNuna> Gnea, another laptop with XP on it succeeds, so I don't think it's the router
[20:03] <Ulrar> anyone know a sound card in PCI-e 1x work on linux ?
[20:03] <MAT1> !ubotu
[20:03] <LiraNuna> Gnea, WRT350N with DD-WRT
[20:03] <SwK2> adakos any guesses why this resolution problem?
[20:03] <Gnea> LiraNuna: using what sort of authentication method?
[20:03] <TwoD> G3N0, I've used it
[20:03] <cwill747> !universe | Fome
[20:03] <GL-san> anyways
[20:03] <sudobash> Splex... Looks are overrated its the power that really matters and how the cpu, ram, and HDD is used that really matter
[20:03] <GL-san> back to my original question
[20:04] <LiraNuna> Gnea, no WEP no nothing
[20:04] <Splex> sudobash: of course
[20:04] <GL-san> is there a way to bind applications to specific displays in ubuntu?
[20:04] <Fome> thanks
[20:04] <Splex> sudobash and the UI
[20:04] <Prikolchik> does anybody know if there is any way i can reset the configuration of the wireless card? Even if i blacklist drivers it still recognizes the card as wrong type
[20:04] <stryd_one> bump GL-san's question
[20:04] <Gnea> LiraNuna: and they're talking the same 802.11 protocol? I mean, A, B, G or N?
[20:04] <Splex> sudobash: everything counts... no good if anyone focuses on just one aspect
[20:04] <sudobash> well most ppl here know how to get what you need to do, done without UI
[20:04] <GL-san> lol, seems i'm not the only one interested
[20:04] <LiraNuna> Gnea, router supports all, I tried N and G
[20:04] <sudobash> GUI I mean
[20:04] <LiraNuna> B and G*
[20:04] <Splex> sudobash: just as bad if someone only focuses on usage of cpu, ram, etc
[20:05] <Gnea> LiraNuna: but what is the XP system using?
[20:05] <stryd_one> GL-san: sometimes i feel like i'm the only one using dual heads
[20:05] <LiraNuna> Gnea, broadcom 34xx
[20:05] <psycholvlan>  I have a problem. I'm upgrade to 8.04 LTS and it froze while installing the upgrades... last thing its says is Generating Locales... en_AU.UTF-8...  what do I do?
[20:05] <cwill747> stryd_one: nah i am too
[20:05] <sudobash> but that is the basics that have to be dealt with before jumping in to GUI
[20:05] <LiraNuna> B/G too
[20:05] <GL-san> lol, me too
[20:05] <Splex> sudobash: yeah,  its not always just about 'getting things done' its about doing so comfortably and efficiently for the user
[20:05] <Gnea> LiraNuna: so what is the ubuntu system using? same?
[20:05] <GL-san> i like to set it up, so i've my web browser on second display
[20:05] <GL-san> also my media player
[20:05] <Prikolchik> psycholvlan, reset PC and start over the updates?
[20:06] <stryd_one> GL-san: found this gem the other day: http://my.opera.com/raphman/blog/show.dml/302528?cid=5760398   for swapping a window to another head
[20:06] <GL-san> then messaging and others in first display
[20:06] <Splex> thats the beautiful thing about linux.... can do things so many different ways
[20:06] <LiraNuna> Gnea, ubuntu system is a toshiba laptop. it has 100% open source drivers and everything used to work OOTB with it
[20:06] <psycholvlan> while that leave me with a partial installation and won't let me boot up though?
[20:06] <sudobash> if you notice the is a big performance difference when doing things in windows by GUI vs CMD prompt...
[20:06] <psycholvlan> will*
[20:06] <sudobash> Linux is generally quick in both
[20:06] <GL-san> hmmm, that'd fix my browser only
[20:07] <GL-san> though that's a start
[20:07] <GL-san> thanks
[20:07] <GL-san> :D
[20:07] <gmaia> hi
[20:07] <Prikolchik> psycholvlan, u can always boot in recovery mode.. and last-successful-boot..
[20:07] <Flannel> psycholvlan: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardyUpgrades#Known%20problems
[20:07] <Prikolchik> psycholvlan, there is no other way anyway?
[20:07] <Splex> sudobash: yeah... its wonderful to see how linux has finally hit a point where i can comfortably run completely without windows
[20:07] <BVBBQ> how can i change my refresh rate through terminal?
[20:07] <stryd_one> GL-san: yeh, doesn't answer the question you asked but it's a handy tool, and somewhat hidden/obscure/rare.... thought i'd share the love ;)
[20:07] <gmaia> hi, why my ubuntu stopped of load in "starting hardware abstraction layer hald"
[20:07] <GL-san> yup
[20:08] <Splex> just need better gfx drivers now :P
[20:08] <lakcaj> The-Compiler, http://jsnake.googlepages.com/getxkcd.py
[20:08] <Flannel> psycholvlan: the fix is in the bug report (killall locale-gen, and then dpkg-reconfigure later)
[20:08] <Gnea> LiraNuna: okay, now you're assuming - i asked you what version of 802.11 the toshiba is running, not whether or not the drivers are closed/open sourced.
[20:08] <stryd_one> GL-san: i dunno about you but i'm coming from windows with ultramon and am unpleasantly surprised by the lack of multi head support in linux
[20:08] <Splex> btw, anyone see this problem when running apt-get update?  W: Ignoring Provides line with DepCompareOp for package perl W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems
[20:08] <LiraNuna> Gnea, and I answered already B/G
[20:08] <psycholvlan> ty flannel
[20:09] <psycholvlan> how do i reboot into the older kernel?
[20:09] <psycholvlan> the -14 one
[20:09] <gmaia> faço um print screen e te mostro?
[20:09] <gmaia> hi, why my ubuntu stopped of load in "starting hardware abstraction layer hald"
[20:09] <Prikolchik> does anybody know if there is any way i can reset the configuration of the wireless card? Even if i blacklist drivers it still recognizes the card as wrong type
[20:09] <Flannel> psycholvlan: hit escape after your POST screen to get to grub, and select it.
[20:09] <maco> Prikolchik: you rebooting after blacklisting them?
[20:09] <psycholvlan> ok
[20:09] <Prikolchik> maco, yep
[20:09] <psycholvlan> ty
[20:09] <stephan> hellö
[20:09] <GL-san> yup stryd_one

[20:10] <maco> Prikolchik: oh. dunno.
[20:10] <tuchki> hi, how can i configure workgroup name or domain name in ubuntu?
[20:10] <Gnea> !assume
[20:10] <GL-san> i was able to set my dual head no problems
[20:10] <MAT1> !botsnack
[20:10] <GL-san> but customization is getting me
[20:10] <hydroponic> There's a problem in vim 1.7.138 (in repos), which is fixed in 1.7.147 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vim/+bug/219546
[20:10] <Prikolchik> maco, it used to say "-* network" when i do lshw, but now it just says "*-network UNCLAIMED"
[20:10] <Gnea> LiraNuna: i'm sorry, i don't know what's wrong then
[20:10] <hydroponic> Is there a package for vim 7.2?
[20:10] <LiraNuna> grrr
[20:10] <Gnea> !patience
[20:11] <maco> Prikolchik: i'm guessing unclaimed means it doesnt have any clue now that you've told it it cant use any of the usual drivers.
[20:11] <stryd_one> hoping you guys can advise me on a tweak... In the top left corner of every windows is the menu you can use to close the window.... i'm used to being able to double-click that to close (yeh i'm a windows victim)... is there any way to do that?
[20:12] <maco> hydroponic: only in debian
[20:12] <Prikolchik> maco, yes i know, it is not "claimed" by any drivers, since i blacklisted them. But i want to make reset the configuration for wireless and install working drivers.
[20:12] <maco> hydroponic: you can take the source package from debian and build it for your system if you need...
[20:12] <hydroponic> ok, thanks
[20:12] <maco> Prikolchik: none of the drivers you have can work?
[20:12] <Prikolchik> maco, and if i do it wouthout resetting, it recognizes card as same type with the new drivers and fails to work
[20:12] <maco> hydroponic: it's in unstable and experimental
[20:13] <Prikolchik> maco, they are SUPPOSE to work,but they dont, yup

[20:22] <tuchki> stryd_one, i can't. i think i set the network fine, but i have not the correct cable

[20:23] <Flannel> mercedes: not very
[20:23] <tuchki> stryd_one, i conect both computers directely, without router, so i must use another cable
[20:23] <Prikolchik> maco, ah ok. Thanks anyway
[20:23] <GL-san> lol, not many viruses for ubuntu
[20:24] <SwK2> have any one tried running linux box without its monitor physically connected? accessing the desktop through VNC?
[20:24] <mercedes> thanx Flannel
[20:24] <zenith> guys?
[20:24] <maco> GL-san: i think its down to "any" unless you run warty...then the early 2000s viruses might have an effect
[20:24] <Waaib> native res - where do I check that?
[20:24] <stryd_one> tuchki: yeh you need a crossover for that
[20:24] <mercedes> yes zenith
[20:24] <Flannel> Waaib: That'd depend on your monitor.  I... guess you'd have to look it up
[20:24] <stryd_one> MAT1:  Results 1 - 100 of about 719 for griffin powermate ubuntu

[20:28] <Waaib> maco: thanks. Is that the name of the app "COmpositing Window Manager" ?
[20:28] <maco> Waaib: kwin and metacity have some small compositing effects available now, but nothing like CF
[20:28] <Otacon22> Wich is the fstab option to have a disk in write/execution/reading also for the normal user and not only for root?
[20:28] <maco> Waaib: no no. that's what compiz is
[20:28] <MAT1> maco i know what "does not work" means
[20:29] <Prikolchik> shg_sam, what is that file? Can u load into Windows, open it, and save it as .RTF and then try open that in Writer?
[20:29] <Waaib> maco: thanks.
[20:29] <maco> MAT1: well i don't.
[20:29] <maco> MAT1: define it for me, please.
[20:29] <maco> MAT1: you can't just say "it's broken" and give no more info
[20:29] <Waaib> It's wierd I can't get CF to run. other folks on a forum with same graphics card say it runs for them.
[20:29] <shg_sam> well any file even with 1 character
[20:29] <maco> Waaib: what graphics card?
[20:29] <Waaib> ATI Raedon 7500
[20:29] <crimsun> maco: your sound card "does not work".
[20:30] <mikey27> a
[20:30] <MAT1> !shout
[20:30] <Prikolchik> shg_sam, it doesnt open ANY files? what is the file u are trying to open? .doc? .etf? docx?
[20:30] <histo> Waaib: your card works fine you just need to install drivers.
[20:30] <shg_sam> it opens but cant save
[20:30] <maco> crimsun: that can mean about a million things.  in my case, it means i have to reload the driver after resuming from suspend/hibernate.  there are plenty of other possibilities too though.
[20:30] <daedalus__> Witam
[20:30] <Waaib> I 'think' I did install the drivers.... how do know if I did?
[20:30] <histo> !ati > Waaib
[20:31] <GL-san> waaib, system>restricted drivers
[20:31] <Flannel> shg_sam: Er... that's quite different from crashing.  What files are you editing, and more importantly, where are they?
[20:31] <Prikolchik> shg_sam, is it some kind of protected file? did u try to saving it in a different format?
[20:31] <GL-san> system>administration>restricted drivers*
[20:31] <Prikolchik> shg_sam, what format is the file?
[20:31] <stryd_one> GL-san: Guess what! :)

[20:32] <Waaib> GL-san: I don't have that option available.
[20:32] <shg_sam> i mean i cant save a single file! any file i try to save the program closes without saving.
[20:32] <shg_sam> well .odt or .rtf

[20:49] <MAT1> ﻿﻿flannel it says i have to use evroter and that does not work
[20:49] <Flannel> Waaib: rm
[20:49] <PerfectlyContent> Quick question.  How can I update /etc/fstab?  I inserted a USB device I want to make bootable but parted won't recognize the device even though it is mounted.
[20:49] <perillux> Kartagis: actually I think the only thing you really have to do it go to System>Administration>Language Support
[20:49] <Waaib> so.... rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf will delete it?
[20:50] <Flannel> Waaib: you'll need to use sudo, but yes.
[20:50] <shg_sam> when i answer as yes to save it doesnt quit but if i answer no then it returns to bash cmd line
[20:50] <Waaib> ok
[20:50] <MAT1> ﻿﻿flannel it says i have to use evroter and that does not work
[20:50] <Waaib> thanks Flannel
[20:50] <Flannel> MAT1: yeah, you said that a few times now.  I don't know.  Your best bet is to keep trying more google pages.
[20:50] <perillux> Kartagis: then simply check Japanese and then make sure the default language is still English (if u want) then make sure to check "Enable support to enter complex characters." hit apply, restart X and that should be it.
[20:51] <Flannel> MAT1: you're welcome to continue to ask here, but please only repeat every half hour or so.
[20:51] <perillux> Kartagis: but then you might want to read that guide also in case they have some other things of interest.

[20:55] <Flannel> jerkface: That issue is redhat specific
[20:56] <rahil> anyone? if I have a folder full of unbuilt packages, is there a way to use dpkg-deb -b to build all of them at the same time?
[20:56] <shg_sam> i guess thats created by touch cmd
[20:56] <Kartagis> PerfectlyContent, for what disk?
[20:56] <mizipzor> anyone that can help with this? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=899427
[20:56] <Kartagis> PerfectlyContent, man 5 fstab.conf
[20:57] <Flannel> shg_sam: Indeed.  The question then becomes, why can't any editors write?  If I had to guess, I'd say its a filesystem issue (since its not a permission issue).  Try this: `sudo touch /forcefsck` and then reboot.  That'lll fsck everything, and we'll see if we come up with any issues.
[20:57] <jerkface> in the redhat channel they told me all linux got owned not just redhat and fedora
[20:57] <knife> hey Waaib how's it going :)

[20:58] <JackDeth> Hi gang.
[20:59] <jerkface> i can't be bothered with that

[20:59] <Sorlag> knife any solutions?
[21:00] <JackDeth> I have been trying to get a new laptop configured for my wife using Ubuntu as the primary OS with WinXP as a secondary OS in VMware. After weeks of arguments and trials I cannot get audio working in Ubuntu or on the virtual machine. I also cannot maintain a stable Samba connection to the network.
[21:00] <guntbert> Sorlag: mine was: I turned off the visual effects
[21:01] <JackDeth> I have thought about reinstalling everything as a dual boot system. Any opinions or ideas on how I can do this cleanly and get everything working?
[21:01] <ThersiT> I've just started getting into linux and tried out a bunch of distros (including ubuntu) but finaly ended up with fedora..
[21:01] <ThersiT> But as I get into it, it seems that most of the books and help websites are focused on ubuntu.
[21:01] <ThersiT> Would ubuntu be a better choice for a noob?
[21:01] <Sorlag> yeah I've had it turned off for a long time now.. but screenlets aren't working properly whithout compiz..
[21:02] <whileimhere> How do I mount a USB CDR drive?
[21:02] <rahil> anyone willing to help me?
[21:02] <shg_sam> Thersiit ubuntu is safer than any linux if u are not familier with advanced things
[21:02] <TwoD> JackDeth, if you go with dual boot, I suggest installing XP first, then Ubuntu, as GRUB will then find both your XP and Ubuntu installation and add them both to the boot menu. Your sound problems might be related to audio drivers or PulseAudio, but I can't tell much about that without more info, and I'm no expert at all.
[21:02] <RequinB4> ThersiT: There is no "best" linux distribution - most of the main ones have a specific user group in mind.  However, many, including me, would say that ubuntu is one of the better distros for learning gnu/linux.
[21:03] <shg_sam> rahil: yea
[21:03] <rahil> shg_sam: thanks, if I have a folder full of unbuilt packages, is there a way to use dpkg-deb -b to build all of them at the same time?
[21:03] <rahil> i've been trying to figure this out with no luck...
[21:03] <RequinB4> ThersiT: For instance, if you jsut came from XP and expect to be able to do things without getting your hands dirty, ubuntu or mint is for you
[21:04] <JackDeth> TwoD: If I install XP first, though, won't I need a third party program to partition the drive first? Or will the Ubuntu install let me do that after the fact?
[21:04] <shg_sam> do u mean unbuilt==not yet installed?
[21:04] <RequinB4> ThersiT: But if you, say, want to build your software from teh bottom up, it's not.
[21:04] <shg_sam> rahil : i cant help maybe :(
[21:04] <ThersiT> I did used to mess with fbsd (not with much success) and got use to being able to control everything.
[21:05] <chazco> Hi.. does anyone know how to force the intel x driver to use a higher resolution than can be displayed and scroll it? I tried using "Virtual" in Xorg.conf but it didnt work
[21:05] <rahil> no, unbuilt as in a folder with the DEBIAN folder containing the control file and then the other folder with the application files....I want to create a deb for this
[21:05] <TwoD> JackDeth, you will get options to automatically or manually partition your drive. I believe manual is suggested for dual-boot systems or otherwise it'll use the whole disk.
[21:05] <Waaib> I followed the instructions on the cummunity page and at the end it said it would restart the system .. it's hanging at Running local boot scripts now...ideas?
[21:06] <RequinB4> ThersiT: most things should "just work" in ubuntu, with the main exception being things we have no control over you have to install manually like flash (very easy)
[21:06] <RequinB4> graphics cards, etc: just need the right drivers
[21:06] <Shentino> How do I locate and mount an lvm device from the Ubuntu 7.04 live CD?
[21:06] <RequinB4> And these things are one time
[21:06] <zelrikriando> RequinB4, Flash is not easy,that's a lie
[21:06] <Kartagis> hello again
[21:07] <Kartagis> perillux: are you there?
[21:07] <chazco> Also, i had to compile a driver for wifi on Ubuntu and its seems to sometimes drop the connection... its a realtek rtl8187se... ideas?
[21:07] <RequinB4> zelrikriando: was for me...
[21:07] <perillux> Kartagis: yes
[21:07] <ThersiT> thanks, I think I'm gonna install ubuntu agein.
[21:07] <RequinB4> zelrikriando: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree; maybe also install libflashsupport
[21:07] <JackDeth> TwoD: I also found something called FS-Driver for Windows which allows Windows to read and write in the Ext2 file format so you can read a write files directly to the Linux partition. It appears to embed itself into Windows so it will no it natively. That will solve some problems with her sharing files between the two.
[21:07] <rahil> oh well, looks like i'm just going to have to keep manually building packages :(
[21:08] <zelrikriando> RequinB4, I use flash 10 because libflashsupport was pissing me off
[21:08] <Kartagis> I did what you last said, and now all I see is a yellow screen with a gray box covering 1/4 of the screen
[21:08] <perillux> Kartagis: ya I'm here, is something wrong?
[21:09] <JackDeth> I was trying to get Ubuntu working on a Medion Akoya E5312 Laptop. I could get everything working - EXCEPT the audio. Anyone tried installing Ubuntu on one of these?
[21:09] <RequinB4> zelrikriando: then it's not ubuntu's fault (in hardy) that it might be hard to put together
[21:09] <chazco> JackDeth - Is that the MSI Wind rebrand?
[21:09] <perillux> where is the fonts.conf file located in Hardy Heron?
[21:09] <TwoD> JackDeth, I'm running a dual-boot system with Vista & Xp & Ubuntu Hardy 8.04 on two PCs here. All partitions except the Linux root ones are ntfs since I already had lots of stuff on them. works fine except for one of the disks which has damaged sectors. Ubuntu gets kernel panic when trying to read from one of those sectors, so I have to be careful not to place anything new there (all my old data seems fine, but new risks to be placed on those bad sectors)
[21:09] <crimsun> perillux: in /etc/fonts/
[21:10] <zelrikriando> RequinB4, I may agree even I find it easy to blame it on Adobe
[21:10] <refriedbeans> hello, for some reason, when i installed software updates to ubuntu, the OS seems very buggy. the shut down button on the menu bar makes the menu bar disappear, firefox doesn't save any bookmarks, pressing my power button completely turns off the computer instead of prompting me on what to do. how do i make ubuntu normal as possible again?
[21:10] <JackDeth> chazco: Not sure. I think its one of those German imports. She got it from Aldi. It's fully featured and seems to be a sweet machine under Windows. Just rather have Linux, ya know?  :-)
[21:10] <RequinB4> zelrikriando: this convo is now probably ot, but i can't wait for gnash to have a 1.0 releasee...
[21:11] <chazco> JackDeth - Just checked, it isnt. For what its worth on mine the sound works, but was muted by default...
[21:11] <zelrikriando> RequinB4, I am pragmatic on that one...whatever makes youtube works...if it's gnash then that's cool
[21:11] <TwoD> JackDeth, but I am thinking about switching to ext3 as I have no permission control on the ntfs drives. I also read that you might need to convert ext3 partitions to ext2 to be able to make windows read them as the support in the driver you mention didn't include ext3. But that might have changed now.
[21:11] <DIFH-iceroot> is it possible to use dual-view (same screen ob both displays) with different resolutions? i need 800x600 at the extern screen and 800x480 for the intern screen
[21:11] <JackDeth> TwoD: Got to www.fs-driver.org and check out their extension. Sounds really slick.
[21:12] <chazco> Does anyone know how to force the intel x driver to use a higher resolution than can be displayed and scroll it? I tried using "Virtual" in Xorg.conf but it didnt work
[21:12] <refriedbeans> hello, for some reason, when i installed software updates to ubuntu, the OS seems very buggy. the shut down button on the menu bar makes the menu bar disappear, firefox doesn't save any bookmarks, pressing my power button completely turns off the computer instead of prompting me on what to do. how do i make ubuntu normal as possible again?
[21:12] <JackDeth> chazco: I've got Ubuntu running in my virtual machine on my XP desktop machine and all works perfectly. It actually runs better than my native XP install.  :-)    Just trying to get it working on this laptop has been a pain.
[21:12] <perillux> crimsun: inside that file it says "DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE.  IT WILL BE REPLACED WHEN FONTCONFIG IS UPDATED.  LOCAL CHANGES BELONG IN 'local.conf'."
[21:13] <perillux> crimsun: so where can I find local.conf?
[21:13] <Shentino> I imagine that to downgrade e3 to e2 you'd need to get rid of the journal.  After making sure the e3 was cleanly unmounted

[21:17] <rahil> another question....this one is probably noobish....but how do you use ls to only list directories, not files....i tried ls -d but that didn't work
[21:17] <unop> rahil, ls */  # perhaps
[21:18] <ntowakbh> ls -d */
[21:18] <rahil> ok thanks
[21:18] <ntowakbh> is what I use, ls */ displays contents of the directories

[21:19] <TwoD> JackDeth, seems there's no need for conversion from ext3 to ext2 after all, and you should still be able to enjoy journaling while in Linux. I'll probably give it a try if I decide to keep my Vista installation (got some DX10 programming projects going on)

[21:21] <JackDeth> TwoD: What's your experience with Vista so far. This laptop came with Vista, but most people I've talked to find it to be anethma so far. Too buggy. Most are sticking with XP. We really don't want to use XP at all, but she has a couple proprietary programs we just CANNOT get working in Linux (Franklin Day Planner Sofwtware, MS Money 2006, and a couple others).

[21:26] <rahil> ok
[21:26] <rahil> thx
[21:26] <TwoD> JackDeth, I've had no real problems with Vista. I actually find it more pleasant to work with than XP, aside from some of the very bloated settings wizards/menues like network configuration, but that can usually be taken care of by simply choosing "auto" on everything. The only drivers I couldn't get to work [no Vista version available] was the WDM drivers for my GeForce card, so no video-in capabilities, but I don't use that much anyway. As we had courses in
[21:26] <TwoD> DirectX10 programming at the computer games programming school I went to, I also learned that the DX10 API and capabilities are much better than DX9. I was running the 64-bit version which has had lots of complaints about driver-issues, but I believe that was mainly because the hardware manufactrers were slow to adapt, and not a problem of Vista itself.
[21:27] <marcules> Hi there ^^
[21:27] <MilanoCollection> Hey, can anyone here help me get LXDream 0.8.4 running?
[21:27] <Flannel> !hi | marcules
[21:27] <rconan> What are the requirements for desktop effects? Is having direct rendering enough?
[21:27] <marcules> hi Flannel and ubottu :)
[21:28] <JackDeth> Well, considering how I'm a linux noob, anyone have any ideas what steps I should take to troubleshoot the audio not working on this laptop?
[21:28] <Gnea> !compiz | rconan
[21:28] <Flannel> rconan: hardware accelleration is the requirement
[21:28] <perillux> I've never been able to suspend or hibernate since the day I installed Ubuntu.  But I'd REALLY like to be able to do it...  can someone PLEASE help me.  I don't care which, either one will do (suspend OR hibernate) I just need 1.
[21:28] <Xodiac13> rconan: you can do a minimal system install and use icewm and fluxbox
[21:28] <Flannel> !audio | JackDeth
[21:28] <esac> perillux, what laptop model do you have ?
[21:28] <rconan> Xodiac13, hardly relevant... I already have ubuntu installed
[21:28] <Flannel> JackDeth: check the link first
[21:28] <Xodiac13> rconan: o okay
[21:28] <perillux> esac: Sony VAIO laptop.  model: PCG-K45
[21:29] <knife> TwoD: what on earth are you doing in a ubuntu support irc room, chatting about Vi$ta, it doesnt seem right
[21:29] <Xodiac13> xp is better
[21:29] <JackDeth> ubottu: I've determined that every audio application I've tried seems to detect there's something there and gives me sliders and controls to work with. They also appear to try playing audio applications and such. Just no sound is heard either from the speakers or the headphone port.
[21:29] <Nutzebahn> Hello. How do I change the color depth settings in Ubuntu?
[21:29] <amit> ok i got that, but flash is not working, flash videos are all blank
[21:29] <TwoD> Hmm, does anyone know a good way to find and delete all .exe files of exactly 41.KB? Got a worm yesterday and it created one such file in each folder it had access to, named after the folder.
[21:29] <Flannel> TwoD: Is this in Windows?
[21:30] <TiredWolf> TwoD: "find" can do that. "man find", search for "size" and "delete"
[21:30] <amit> flash videos are all blank in firefox and opera
[21:30] <TwoD> knife, sorry, I was asked for my opinions on working with Vista/Ubuntu as a possible dual-boot environment
[21:30] <knife> TwoD: I thought you said you had no problems with VIsta :P and besides it's OFF TOPIC^!?
[21:30] <TwoD> Flannel, no Ubuntu
[21:30] <Khisanth> 41KB is not very exact ...
[21:30] <rconan> Flannel, how would I know if my card does hardware acceleration?
[21:30] <MAT1> flannel i sent u a pm
[21:30] <Flannel> MAT1: its best to talk in channel
[21:30] <esac> perillux, did you install your video card drivers using envy ?
[21:31] <MAT1> well i still seee the vista loader
[21:31] <Khisanth> find /path/to/where/windows/is/mounted -size 41k
[21:31] <amit>  flash videos are all blank in firefox and opera,  flash video is suppose to play with something called gnesh
[21:31] <rahil> sorry for all these questions but i'm a bit new to ubuntu....so I want to write text and the directory listing to a file so like 'blabla' and ls -d */ into the file....I know I can use printf 'blabla' > file for the text, but it wont do the directory listing...
[21:31] <perillux> esac: no it said it didn't support my card.  I tried it anyway and it messed everything up so I did a clean install.  this was a while back though.  but I tried again and my card still isn't supported.
[21:31] <TwoD> knife, that wasn't Windows giving me the worm, haven't booted into it for weeks. Don't know where I got it from, but I have my suspicions (gf booted back into XP and has write access to my shares)
[21:31] <JackDeth> knife: I was asking TwoD help with setting up a dual boot on my wife's computer. Not his/her fault. Sorry.
[21:32] <TiredWolf> rahil: uh? "ls > blabla" will definitely write the ls output into the "blabla" file.
[21:32] <makis> είναι κανείς από Ελλάδα?

[21:34] <amit> gnash
[21:34] <MilanoCollection> Hey, can anyone here help me get LXDream 0.8.4 running?
[21:34] <Flannel> TiredWolf: You could've warned just as well as I could've.  I was in the middle of something else, and warnings don't need to be absolutely immediate.
[21:34] <Sofisti1> hi to everyone
[21:34] <zelrikriando> amit, use the synaptic package manager and do a search for gnash
[21:34] <rahil> unop: I di that, but it only wrote the directory listing
[21:34] <saelynh> !players
[21:35] <amit> gnash is a software to play flash videos
[21:35] <TiredWolf> Flannel, when i say warning, i mean kick.
[21:35] <zelrikriando> amit, it's a work in progress software I guess... you might wanna install something else for now

[21:36] <JackDeth> Thanks for help guys. I'll try the links the bot provided to try and resolve the sound problem and if I need more help for that I'll be back. I think I'm gonna try a dual boot and see how that works. Cheers gang.

[21:44] <MAT1> ﻿what im trying to say is i want the grub boot loader to  load on startup not the one that comes with vista
[21:44] <guntbert> neuratix: no, du = disk usage, -s means whole subtrees, /* means every directory in /,  you *could* use sudo, but it shouldn't be nececssary
[21:44] <shakaboom> u mean a menu option in mozilla? or the file pluginreg.dat
[21:44] <carandraug> hischild: adakos: ok, just give me a minute. It's in paper (physical)
[21:44] <sotec_prod> hischild: the drive is an NTFS drive, but linux won't recognize it as a drive. The drive is healthy.
[21:44] <needhelp> usser: okay- Then the nest option is to select compression. Microsoft Video 1, Intel Indeo Video R3, Intel Indeo Video 4.3, Cinepak Codec by Radius, Indeo Video 5.10 or none.
[21:44] <adakos> hey usser: you are talking quite a bit about video encoding, do you know of a command line way to convert DVD's (video_ts/audio__ts folders) to x264 videos? that's the entire reason im installing a graphics system
[21:44] <zelrikriando> MAT1, I dont get it...you can run Vista only or what?

[21:45] <zelrikriando> shakaboom, put about:plugins in the address bar

[21:45] <slipttees> my wireless card assotiate my don't acess internet
[21:45] <slipttees> http://paste.ubuntu.com/40249/
[21:45] <MAT1> i can run linux and vista but i want to use a diffrent bootloader
[21:45] <usser> adakos, not sure about the whole folders but you only need the .vob files inside video_ts u can convert them one by one using ffmpeg and then glue them together
[21:45] <sotec_prod> hischild: I plug in the drive, it does nothing. its not found in fstab (I haven't added it yet because I can't get any ID on the drive to yet add such drive) and it won't mount
[21:45] <gRaCiOsO> i have a question about my wireless card i only can login with WPE wireless networks but not with WPA ones anyone know why?
[21:45] <slipttees> i'm test with hardy 8.04 LTS and 8.04.1 LTS
[21:46] <carandraug> adakos: hischild: I'll put it into images. That way I can also get you their opinion on each one and not only the memory usage values. Is that ok?
[21:46] <adakos> usser : you can do that from the command line? would you have a link offhand?
[21:46] <rahil> unop, if i wanted to add text to the end too, wouldn't I just have to add " text" after the */
[21:46] <hischild> sotec_prod, what do you mean with won't mount?
[21:46] <adakos> carandraug: works for me, thanks.
[21:46] <hischild> carandraug, same for me.
[21:46] <shakaboom> ok typed tht, what should i look for?
[21:46] <zelrikriando> MAT1, what is wrong with the boot loader you have?
[21:46] <usser> adakos, yea sure hang on
[21:46] <hischild> sotec_prod, check dmesg to see if it shows you anything.
[21:46] <sotec_prod> hischild: Ubuntu won't mount the external drive.
[21:46] <zelrikriando> shakaboom, look and see if there are several version of the flash plugin
[21:46] <Flannel> !grub | MAT1
[21:46] <unop> rahil, no .. you need to add the text in the format section ..   printf " text %s text " */
[21:46] <sotec_prod> hischild: alright
[21:46] <MAT1> i just like how grub loks
[21:46] <Flannel> MAT1: follow the first link there
[21:46] <needhelp> usser: which compression type should I select ?
[21:47] <usser> needhelp, i am not sure there
[21:47] <MAT1> you told me that once
[21:47] <needhelp> usser: ok
[21:47] <unop> rahil, actually printf " text %s text\n" */
[21:47] <treetop> whois ubottu
[21:47] <guesswho> treetop; a bot
[21:47] <rahil> ok thanks
[21:47] <shakaboom> strange, no flash plugin at all in this list
[21:48] <Flannel> ubottu: tell treetop about yourself
[21:48] <zelrikriando> shakaboom, then install it lol
[21:48] <shakaboom> but when i go to tools>>add-ons plugin tab i see shockwwave flash
[21:48] <zelrikriando> hmm
[21:48] <sotec_prod> ok, it's seeing the drive. Now how do I go about getting linux to recognize it when it's plugged in?
[21:48] <juro> is there a utitlity for showing logs of the Garmin Forerunner 305?
[21:48] <shakaboom> also, the video plays, just no sound
[21:48] <zelrikriando> shakaboom, look more closely then
[21:48] <hischild> sotec_prod, go to places and click on it. Does it give you an error msg?
[21:48] <usser> adakos, the command u looking for is something like ffmpeg -i <filename>.vob -vcodec h264 output.mov
[21:48] <adakos> thanks usser.
[21:48] <MAT1> ubottu |  treetop
[21:48] <shakaboom> and flashplayer.so is in plugin folder in .mozilla
[21:48] <sotec_prod> it doesn't show up in Places
[21:48] <ortsvorsteher> ubottu
[21:49] <usser> adakos, this will convert a vob file which is mpeg2 into the same bitrate/resolution h264
[21:49] <shakaboom> when i ctrl+f in the about:plugins list it doesnt find anything
[21:49] <ortsvorsteher> ! ubottu
[21:49] <zelrikriando> shakaboom, you should see something like Shockwave Flash
[21:49] <MAT1> treetop | ubottu
[21:49] <shakaboom> how should i look harder?
[21:49] <usser> !info ffmpeg | adakos
[21:49] <zelrikriando> shakaboom, make sure it's activated also :)
[21:49] <shakaboom> ;)
[21:49] <sotec_prod> the only thing in the usb folder is hiddev0
[21:49] <LiraNuna> I'm seriously frustrated now. ipw2200 works on windows XP but not on any liveCD of ubuntu from 7.04 to 8.04
[21:49] <adakos> thanks usser! ill check the man pages
[21:49] <usser> adakos, also u have to install ffmpeg from medibuntu repo cause the one in multiverse is crippled
[21:49] <hischild> sotec_prod, what does dmesg give you? can you pastebin that?
[21:49] <LiraNuna> it's driving me MAD! those are open source drivers that used to work OOTB with ubuntu
[21:49] <shakaboom> shockwave is not in the list
[21:49] <sotec_prod> yea, i'll pastebin it
[21:50] <needhelp> I have question. Which compression should I select for a video if I want to be able to play it on a DVD-player?: Microsoft Video 1, Intel Indeo Video R3, Intel Indeo Video 4.3, Cinepak Codec by Radius, Indeo Video 5.10 or none.
[21:50] <guesswho> i installed ubuntu hardy heron client, and it came with innoteks virtual box, what channel do i use on here to get support with it?
[21:50] <adakos> usser i have medibuntu enabled already, thanks for the heads up on the multiverse
[21:50] <shakaboom> but i must say i manually edited pluginreg.dat
[21:50] <zelrikriando> shakaboom, then reactivate it and look again
[21:50] <usser> adakos, np
[21:50] <MAT1> ﻿ treetop | !ubottu
[21:51] <zelrikriando> shakaboom, if you wrecked it...then you should unwreck it yourself :)
[21:51] <MAT1> flannel are u a bot or a person
[21:51] <guesswho> i installed ubuntu hardy heron client, and it came with innoteks virtual box, what channel do i use on here to get support with it?
[21:51] <guntbert> neuratix: is du still running?
[21:51] <sotec_prod> hischild: http://pastebin.com/d6cbb12c4
[21:52] <shakaboom> hehe, well i reinstalled flash 9 again, now about:plugins lists it
[21:52] <shakaboom> its listed as enabled too
[21:52] <zelrikriando> ok
[21:52] <shakaboom> but still no sound
[21:52] <zelrikriando> ok
[21:52] <shakaboom> any idea?
[21:52] <zelrikriando> do you have libflashsupport installed?
[21:52] <zelrikriando> reinstall it if necessary
[21:52] <hischild> sotec_prod, and you're sure this drive is healthy?
[21:52] <shakaboom> no, ill reinstall it, but i dont think that will help
[21:53] <adakos> xyblor: if i was to install xfce/icewm/wmii (any desktop/wm) is there an easy way to connect? I use ssh for everything now... would i need to install a VLC server?
[21:53] <sotec_prod> hischild: I was until now. lol
[21:53] <guesswho> i installed ubuntu hardy heron client, and it came pre-installed with innoteks virtual box, what channel do i use on here to get support with it? there is no #innotek or #virtualbox
[21:53] <sotec_prod> I see a lot of error messages in the dmesg
[21:53] <neuratix> guntbert: finished now
[21:53] <hischild> sotec_prod, can you hook it up to a windows box to see if it connects? cuz it doesn't look really right
[21:53] <neuratix> guntbert: http://rafb.net/p/jNUyow25.html
[21:54] <zelrikriando> shakaboom, closing firefox completely and restart it might help also
[21:54] <shakaboom> the reason i dont think it helps is that i use oss and if i understand correctly it doesnt use pulseaudio
[21:54] <shakaboom> i tried that many times
[21:54] <sotec_prod> I just formatted it a week ago. haven't touched it since.

[21:54] <MAT1> ﻿ubottu: tell treetop about yourself
[21:54] <adakos> if i was to install xfce/icewm/wmii (any desktop/wm) is there an easy way to connect? I use ssh for everything now... would i need to install a VNC server? (my apologies, VLC != VNC)
[21:54]  * johnc4510 UWN issue #105 is now available: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter/Issue105
[21:55] <qr> adakos: you can use x-forwarding over ssh
[21:55] <Flannel> johnc4510: not here, thanks
[21:55] <shakaboom> what puzzles me is that there are plugin folders in both ~.mozilla and in /usr/lib/mozilla
[21:55] <adakos> qr: x-forwarding? where would I go for information on that?
[21:55] <zelrikriando> shakaboom, did you install stuff manually?
[21:55] <LiraNuna> I'm seriously frustrated now. ipw2200 works on windows XP but not on any liveCD of ubuntu from 7.04 to 8.04
[21:55] <shakaboom> yea i did
[21:55] <zelrikriando> shakaboom, sudo updatedb and hmmm
[21:55] <LiraNuna> anyone PLEASE know anything about it?
[21:55] <needhelp> I have question. Which compression should I select for a video if I want to be able to play it on a DVD-player?: Microsoft Video 1, Intel Indeo Video R3, Intel Indeo Video 4.3, Cinepak Codec by Radius, Indeo Video 5.10 or none.
[21:55] <qr> adakos: connect to the remote machine with ssh -X and then any X program you start will appear on your local desktop.
[21:55] <shakaboom> the flash in repositories doesnt work with oss
[21:55] <zelrikriando> locate libflashplayer.so
[21:55] <guesswho> i installed ubuntu hardy heron client, and it came pre-installed with innoteks virtual box, what channel do i use on here to get support with it? there is no #innotek or #virtualbox
[21:56] <guntbert> neuratix: strange, I don't see any big directories. What files did you delete?
[21:56] <zelrikriando> shakaboom, locate libflashplayer.so
[21:56] <MAT1> !botsnack
[21:56] <zelrikriando> shakaboom, and tell me where you find stuff
[21:56] <adakos> qr: this might be a silly question, but my command would be " ssh servername.com -l username -X"
[21:56] <shakaboom> libflashplayer.so is only in ~.mozulla/pligins
[21:56] <qr> adakos: exactly
[21:56] <shakaboom> plugins*
[21:56] <MAT1> ﻿!botsnack
[21:56] <cris_> hi, all there ;)
[21:56] <adakos> qr: excellent. and will this forward to non-unix/linux machines? (i use puTTy/Cygwin at work)
[21:57] <androide> XIO:  fatal IO error 0 (?xito) on X server ":0.0" <- how i fix that?
[21:57] <zelrikriando> shakaboom, this is my result : /usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/libflashplayer.so
[21:57] <neuratix> guntbert: just some small ones. some compressed videofiles in my homefolder
[21:57] <androide> i was trying to run a program under wine from a location
[21:57] <androide> it works from there
[21:57] <cris_> help me to use xcompmgr as winmanager
[21:57] <androide> now i move the files to a location under mi ~/Desktop/ and that error occurs
[21:57] <neuratix> guntbert: but i should have freed -some- space on it?
[21:57] <stryd_one> i'm reading that you shouldn't use dpkg to install deb files because it doesn't take care of dependencies... what can i use?
[21:57] <Flannel> stryd_one: gdebi
[21:57] <bdizzle> stryd_one: apt-get
[21:57] <sub-esc> how do I change the default crontab editor from nano to vim?
[21:57] <shakaboom> zelrikriando, the page cannot be found
[21:57] <qr> adakos: Not likely, you need something like Xwin32 on the windows machines to do that.
[21:58] <Flannel> sub-esc: export EDITOR=vim
[21:58] <zelrikriando> shakaboom, ?
[21:58] <guntbert> neuratix: Let me look at it again, be right back
[21:58] <Flannel> sub-esc: (in your bashrc is a good place to do it permanently)
[21:58] <adakos> qr: alright, thanks - i'll look into that!
[21:58] <Kartagis> hoşçakalın / bye
[21:58] <stryd_one> bdizzle: it's not in a repo... does apt-get still work?
[21:58] <shakaboom> i clicked the hyperlink but firefox says the page cannot be found
[21:58] <qr> adakos: xwin32 isn't free (although I think it's quite cheap)
[21:58] <zelrikriando> shakaboom, do you have flashplugin-nonfree installed.?
[21:58] <cris_> how to enable xcompmgr in gutsy?
[21:58] <shakaboom> how do i locate all instances of libflashplayer.so?

[22:05] <nerijus> i need help my graphic cart not working my computer is fujitsu siemens amilo l7320wg plz help

[22:05] <usser> guesswho, whats the problem?
[22:05] <stryd_one> flannel: sorry.... i was after a command-line tool, gdebi is gui.... any ideas?
[22:05] <RequinB4> amit: i want to use gnash
[22:05] <unop> rahil,  maybe you should use a for loop like this.  for file in *; do echo "dpkg-deb -b ./$file > ./$file.deb"; done
[22:05] <Flannel> stryd_one: gdebi should have a CLI version, or... thats the impression I was under.
[22:05] <amit> alrite, and when i rotate through the workspace with a program, when the program is crossing the corner it goes all crippy
[22:05] <RequinB4>  Gnash loads in broswer but doesn't output any audio or video
[22:06] <Flannel> stryd_one: or rather, gdebi should work from the CLI.
[22:06] <neuratix> guntbert: i'm doing it..
[22:06] <amit> RequinB4 just uninstall the damn thing
[22:06] <zelrikriando> RequinB4, good luck with that...if it works let me know
[22:06] <unop> rahil, the reason printf if giving you that is because with each use of %s in the format.. the next file from the glob is used.
[22:06] <RequinB4> gnash is supposed to work with youtube
[22:06] <RequinB4> it's on their web page
[22:06] <amit> RequinB4 gnash doesnt support 8.04 proprly
[22:06] <RequinB4> -.-
[22:06] <guesswho> usser; when trying to start windows in virutal box, i have the windows cd in am familiar with VMware for windows but i am new to linux, it is telling me "VERR_VM_DRIVER_NOT_ACCESSABLE"
[22:06] <zelrikriando> RequinB4, not as a plugin in firefox though
[22:07] <zelrikriando> RequinB4, if you download video from youtube maybe

[22:07] <RequinB4> ;'(
[22:07] <RequinB4> So is there any way for me to replace flash
[22:07] <amit> alrite, and when i rotate through the workspace with a program, when the program is crossing the corner to go to a new workspace it goes all crippy(pixalated), then it fixes automatically
[22:07] <unop> zelrikriando, why won't gnash work as a plugin?
[22:07] <adakos> I installed xubuntu-desktop: but how do I go about starting the graphical system? (I've never NOT been a text-mode guy)
[22:07] <guesswho> guesswho; like i have to be root inable to run the virutal windows machine
[22:07] <zelrikriando> RequinB4, no you are stuck
[22:07] <Flannel> stryd_one: In fact, yes, it does.  If you don't have it installed (because you have no GUI), install gdebi-core
[22:07] <usser> guesswho, after u installed virtualbox did u add yourself to vboxusers group?
[22:08] <amit> RequinB4 just use vixy.net to download and convert youtube videos
[22:08] <guntbert> neuratix:  forgot a * please once more du -s ~/* |sort -k1 -n -r|head
[22:08] <zelrikriando> RequinB4, ibex should be much friendlier with flash...just be patient
[22:08] <guesswho> it is all greyed out, i do not have access to in the groups & users
[22:08] <RequinB4> zelrikriando: that makes me very sad
[22:08] <guest328> Can anyone help me with a "Out of Range" error on LCD monitor?
[22:08] <amit> alrite, and when i rotate through the workspace with a program, when the program is crossing the corner to go to a new workspace it goes all crippy(pixalated), then it fixes automatically
[22:08] <Flannel> !repeat | amit
[22:08] <RequinB4> zelrikriando: i'm on a quest to free my computer as much as i can
[22:08] <guesswho> usser; it is all greyed out and i dont have the option in the groups and users
[22:08] <bdizzle> guest328: , its a video card problem for one
[22:08] <amit> sorry guys
[22:09] <Mark17> hello, what driver do i need to select? i use ubuntu server 8.04 and i have the following network card: broadcom 5464
[22:09] <rahil> unop, yes that did it :)
[22:09] <neuratix> guntbert: http://rafb.net/p/vuqMct37.html .. but how is this helping? :p
[22:09] <usser> guesswho, do sudo useradd -G vboxusers $USERNAME
[22:09] <ArcInversion>  
[22:10] <guest328> ﻿bdizzle: When I boot using CRT it's fine and I can switch to the LCD and it will work. But when I boot up and try to log in with the LCD it doesn't work.
[22:10] <Flannel> usser, guesswho: wait!
[22:10] <guntbert> neuratix: just to tell you what you are doing: du -s as before, ~/* all files in your homedirectory, sorted by the first column numerical biggest first, only the first ten displayed
[22:10] <usser> Flannel, what?
[22:10] <Otacon22> !skype
[22:10] <bdizzle> strange
[22:10] <Flannel> usser: oh, useradd.  You don't need -G for that.  -G is for usermod (where you *need* an -a)
[22:11] <adakos> So i got it installed, how do i go about starting my desktop up? (silly question, i know)
[22:11] <Flannel> usser: er, adduser.
[22:11] <stryd_one> Flannel: thanks, trying it now
[22:11] <guesswho> Flannel; so it should be sudo useradd -a vboxusers $myusername?
[22:11] <Flannel> usser: adduser user group
[22:11] <neuratix> guntbert: okay, but the problem is that when i delete stuff, it does not understand that i've just freed some space it seems
[22:11] <Lincid> adakos: Change your Session via Login screen.
[22:11] <Flannel> guesswho: no, just adduser username vboxusers
[22:11] <guest328> Is there a way to re-configure the monitor maybe? When I installed the driver for the LCD, I was using the CRT monitor
[22:11] <neuratix> it usually works with a reboot, but it didnt work this time
[22:11] <ArcInversion> Anyone know how to get StreamTuner to work?  Keeps saying "Unable to Tune In.  Failed to execute child process 'xmms'.  No such file or Directory".
[22:11] <adakos> Lincid: where do I find the login screen? ( i installed it overtop a server)
[22:12] <guntbert> neuratix: so you see, where the big space is used up (85 GB in vente...)
[22:12] <usser> guesswho, Flannel oh right... the previous command is for adding new users to the system
[22:12] <ArcInversion> ﻿Anyone know how to get StreamTuner to work?  Keeps saying "Unable to Tune In.  Failed to execute child process 'xmms'.  No such file or Directory".
[22:12] <usser> guesswho, disregard the one i gave u and use sudo adduser $USERNAME vboxusers
[22:12] <adakos> My login screen is text only:  Ubuntu 8.04.1 ubuntu tty1 : ubuntu login: _
[22:13] <guntbert> neuratix: deleteing some small files wont help at all, try deleting/moving something big
[22:13] <ortsvorsteher> displayconfig-gtk guest328
[22:13] <guesswho> did not work
[22:13] <guesswho> usser, Flannel; its still giving me this The VirtualBox kernel driver is not accessible to the current user. Make sure that the user has write permissions for /dev/vboxdrv by adding them to the vboxusers groups. You will need to logout for the change to take effect..
[22:13] <usser> guesswho, u have to relogin for the group memberships to take effect
[22:13] <Matt367> hi
[22:13] <guesswho> i see
[22:14] <neuratix> guntbert: thats easier said than done :P but my common sense has it that when i've deleted some hundred megabytes, i will have some hundred megabytes free, but thats not how it works?
[22:14] <guesswho> i cant log in to the gui hardy heron as root?
[22:14] <Flannel> guesswho: you don't want to.
[22:14] <usser> guesswho, no!
[22:14] <guesswho> like i tried to switch users and login as root and it wouldnt work
[22:14] <guesswho> in the gui part, why?
[22:14] <usser> guesswho, why would u want to?
[22:14] <Flannel> ArcInversion: Try installing audacious and see if it works.  xmms isn't supported anymore.  If it still doesn't work, file a bug against StreamTuner
[22:15] <ArcInversion> guesswho: stop trying to login as root
[22:15] <usser> guesswho, when sudo works just fine
[22:15] <guesswho> for security reasons?
[22:15] <ArcInversion> With audacious, can I use StreamRipper?
[22:15] <usser> !sudo
[22:15] <Flannel> ArcInversion: I don't know.  It's a descendent from xmms, so it'd be your best bet.
[22:15] <guntbert> neuratix: 360 MB = 1/1000 of your diskspace - so you got still 0% free :-)) try to NEVER go beyond 80% on your system partition
[22:16] <Matt367> yeah u can  go int u system > administation > login window then change the minimal uuid
[22:16] <AeronTS> is there a direct link to the latest version of Firefox?  Three times now the 8.9mb file has not completed, the last time it quit at about the 8.3mb point:(  i'm on dialup
[22:16] <guntbert> neuratix: ok 2/1000
[22:16] <guesswho> well the reason i asked, was i was wanting to login as root just to change the permissions for viritual box on my account
[22:16] <guesswho> then switch back to my regular account
[22:16] <usser> guesswho, u can use sudo for that
[22:16] <ArcInversion> just use sudo command to change permissions
[22:16] <Matt367> !root
[22:16] <Matt367> !su
[22:17] <bdizzle> lol
[22:17] <usser> guesswho, the command i gave u above lets your regular access vboxkernel module
[22:17] <bdizzle> who actually has the root password anyway?
[22:17] <Laozi> My computer running Ubuntu will successfully go to sleep once, but if I try again without first shutting down the computer does not go to sleep and only takes me to a locked screen.
[22:17] <usser> guesswho, pretty much any task u can up with is possible with sudo
[22:17] <Flannel> bdizzle: No one. Its locked.
[22:17] <bdizzle> even to devs?
[22:17] <neuratix> guntbert: yes, but i would have some -kb- free and my programs wouldnt just save empty files ( but still -replacing- the old file! :@ )
[22:17] <Flannel> bdizzle: yes.  The hash is impossible to create
[22:18] <SebNaitsabes> Laozi: yep the kernel has issues with stuff like that
[22:18] <bdizzle> cool
[22:18] <guesswho> i understand the sudo command, i was just being lazy i guess and did not know how to change permissions in the terminal, so tried to switch to root via gnome gui just to change the permissions on my main user account
[22:18] <stryd_one> flannel: catch-22 - looks like gdebi is only available as a deb hahahaha
[22:18] <Fructose> Flannel: You mean, unless you set the root password yourself.
[22:18] <carandraug> adakos: hischild: sorry, for taking so long. It's already uploading. First I had to recharge the battery and then I couldn't find the cable to connect it to the computer.  I think the quality isn't very bad, though it could be better had I a scanner
[22:18] <Laozi> SebNaitsabes, I take that as a "sorry, but there's no solution"?  If so, thanks for the info.
[22:18] <Flannel> stryd_one: yeah, but only with a few depends
[22:18] <usser> guesswho, u can do this with sudo just do gksudo nautilus
[22:18] <SebNaitsabes> !sleep
[22:18] <SebNaitsabes> !powermode
[22:18] <SebNaitsabes> !hibernate
[22:19] <bdizzle> !life
[22:19] <SebNaitsabes> Lazi: well there may be a soloution,  but  many people have issues with stuff like that
[22:19] <Laozi> ah
[22:19] <Flannel> Fructose: This channel assumes you don't have a root password set, because that's how Ubuntu is shipped, and there's no reason to set one.
[22:19] <Laozi> I'll ask around
[22:19] <guesswho> ok i am going to have to reboot i guess then, i dont have another user to switch too , to switch back to my main account to test if virtual box is working
[22:19] <SebNaitsabes> Laozi:  in fact my sleep won't even work in Ubuntu only Vista on here, but  I haven't bothered to try and get my sleep working
[22:19] <SebNaitsabes> Laozi: this is a desktop
[22:19] <stryd_one> hahaha that's shocking... you need to handle a bunch of depends in order to avoid handling a bunch of depends :D
[22:19] <nerijus> i need help i need video driver for ubuntu my computer is fujitsu siemens amilo l7320wg plz help
[22:20] <Flannel> stryd_one: well, most people just apt-get it.  Why can't you?
[22:20] <SebNaitsabes> !video
[22:20] <guntbert> neuratix: you could force a fsck on the next boot, but I dont remember the way, ask please
[22:20] <Flannel> neuratix, guntbert: sudo touch /forcefsck
[22:20] <Laozi> SebNaitsabes, yeah, my vista partition sleeps fine on this laptop
[22:20] <SebNaitsabes> nerijus:  Nivida or ATI?
[22:20] <guntbert> Flannel: thx
[22:20] <guesswho> thanks for your help guys
[22:21] <qwerty> so i am having a problem...
[22:21] <Flannel> stryd_one: on top of that, most (if not all
[22:21] <SebNaitsabes> Laozi: yes well hardware makers of that hardware haven't been arsed to make a driver for Linux
[22:21] <nerijus> s3
[22:21] <Flannel> stryd_one: (if not all) of the depends of gdebi are a part of ubuntu-standard and/or ubuntu-minimal
[22:21] <guntbert> neuratix: and then reboot, and DELETE/move some big files!!
[22:21] <SebNaitsabes> Laozi: creating drivers for non supported by the manufacture hardware is very difficult
[22:21] <Tapout> Gnome seems to be awesome, how is KDE?  Must be a reason they default to gnome
[22:21] <qwerty> ubuntu is hanging on startup - says "Routine check of drives" and then it just hangs and does nothing else
[22:21] <qwerty> can anyone point me in theh right direction?
[22:21] <neuratix> guntbert: okay, thanks, i'll try that
[22:21] <SebNaitsabes> Laozi: yes creating reverse enginered drivers for hardware that has not been documented
[22:22] <guntbert> neuratix: you're welcome
[22:22] <carandraug> adakos: hischild: I uploaded a zip with a photo of each page here https://www.yousendit.com/download/Q01GZFhqTStvQUpjR0E9PQ It'll be available for 7 days or 100 downloads
[22:22] <chetnick> i am trying to install emerald-themes on 7.10, but it's says "Package emerald-themes is not available, but is referred to by another package." What do i do in this case?
[22:22] <corey> can someone help me get my sound to work
[22:22] <ortsvorsteher> !sound | corey
[22:22] <Zelda1> Hello. I'm looking to install a NAS box. I want to do RAID 5. My MOBO doesnt have onboard controller so im looking at software RAID. Should I use this or ubunutu server?
[22:22] <SebNaitsabes> corey: does it work at all?
[22:23] <stryd_one> flannel: the webpage for gdebi says: "gdebi is a simple tool to install deb files. It lets you install local deb packages resolving and installing its dependencies. apt does the same, but only for remote (http, ftp) located packages."
[22:23] <stryd_one> is that misleading or is there something like gdebi that will grab from http (even better!)
[22:23] <corey> no sound at all, I have gone through all the support pages and still nothing
[22:23] <Flannel> stryd_one: apt-get grabs them from http (and ftp)
[22:23] <chetnick> i am trying to install emerald-themes on 7.10, but it's says "Package emerald-themes is not available, but is referred to by another package." What do i do in this case?
[22:23] <corey> I have gone through and made sure nothing is muted
[22:23] <SebNaitsabes> corey: have you got a log in sound?
[22:24] <corey> no
[22:24] <stryd_one> flannel: and doesn't require a repo?
[22:25] <Flannel> stryd_one: no... it does.  but so does gdebi.  gdebi takes local packages (I just downloaded this deb want want to install it) and satisfies their deps from the http repos (the deb I downloaded has depends, and I don't want to figure them out manually)
[22:25] <Flannel> stryd_one: What are you trying to do?
[22:25] <chazco> Hi... i'm having internet issues... i've got a router connected to AOL. I can connect to the router, which claims to be connected to the internet, but when i first power on a ubuntu machine it is unable to resolve DNS... refreshing the page in Firefox will eventually cause it to start working. Ideas?
[22:25] <jimincascadia> I've got an atheros wireless install question - will wait in the que - thanks
[22:25] <bdizzle> AOL is the issue
[22:25] <qwerty> ubuntu is hanging on startup - says "Routine check of drives" and then it just hangs and does nothing else
[22:25] <Zelda1> <--agrees
[22:25] <SebNaitsabes> !AOL
[22:25] <chazco> bdizzle - Any idea why it only affects the Ubuntu PC after a startup?
[22:26]  * usser hehe
[22:26] <Flannel> stryd_one: You trying to install a bunch of files via sneakernet?
[22:26] <SebNaitsabes> chazco: AOL sucks
[22:26] <bdizzle> because AOL doesn't play at all with Linux?
[22:26] <SebNaitsabes> chazco:  but that's not a very helfpul answer and so
[22:26] <qwerty> !boot
[22:26] <SebNaitsabes> chazco: AOL is for Windows
[22:26] <Zelda1> no because of the connection.
[22:26] <SebNaitsabes> chazco: you probably connect on Windows with some sort of AOL software yes?
[22:26] <bdizzle> wait, is it dialup or DLS / cable?
[22:26] <corey> anyone have any suggestions to help me with my sound issue
[22:26] <chazco> Not the connection, it used to be okay but then they got switched round.
[22:26] <Zelda1> dialup
[22:26] <bdizzle> err, DSL
[22:27] <chazco> SebNaitsabes - Nope, the Windows machines have never touched an AOL CD and work fine
[22:27] <bdizzle> okay, I don't know about *buntu and dialup at all
[22:27] <reportingsjr> What is the name of the panel app where when you minimize some programs they go up to the top panel?
[22:27] <stryd_one> flannel: i am scripting the install of my system (eventually to share it with others) and i have some apps i need on there which are not in repos, just on webpages
[22:27] <Koryo_Sanders> !find apples
[22:27] <reportingsjr> My dad was using my computer, and I have /no/ clue what he did, but he screwed up my top panel.
[22:27] <Flannel> stryd_one: are they deb packages?
[22:27] <stryd_one> i expect that all of their deps would be in the repos
[22:27] <Flannel> stryd_one: and, will these other systems be connected to the internet?
[22:27] <stryd_one> yep, deb
[22:27] <chazco> It seems as though Ubuntu is refusing to resolve DNS properly after being started up, but once working will work fine
[22:28] <stryd_one> yeh they will (or have a local repo on cd)
[22:28] <Fructose> corey: Did you go to the pages linked by ubottu?
[22:28] <Flannel> stryd_one: gdebi will work fine then, and is installed by default on systems.
[22:28] <Zelda1> did anyone see my question?
[22:28] <corey> yeah, still nothing is working
[22:28] <Flannel> stryd_one: CD repos count as real repos, so gdebi will be able to resolve deps with those too.
[22:28] <Fructose> corey: What did you do to try and get it to work?
[22:28] <Mark17> where can i find what driver i need (it may not be provided with the ubuntu server disc)?
[22:29] <Flannel> stryd_one: you ... might be interested with aptonCD if you want to create a repo CD with your special packages (they pop it in, and then install through package management)
[22:29] <AzizLight> is there a way to put the main menu in the right click popup?
[22:29] <stryd_one> well, i can use wget and point gdebi at the result (hey youre right, gdebi is already installed, duh!)
[22:29] <reportingsjr> how do I open a program if it's hidden?
[22:29] <reportingsjr> I can't find where to maximize it..
[22:29] <stryd_one> but i figure if i can use apt-get and point it at the URL, that's even better
[22:30] <Zelda1> Does anyone know about software RAID?
[22:30] <corey> I have gone through all the steps in the troubleshooting guides
[22:30] <stryd_one> thanks man :) aptoncd is already in my list of must haves :)
[22:30] <jimincascadia> anyone up for a wireless installation question?
[22:30] <qwerty> ubuntu is hanging on startup - says "Routine check of drives" and then it just hangs and does nothing else =(
[22:30] <corey> is it a driver issue?
[22:30] <Fructose> jimincascadia: Here, you just ask your question. You don't ask to ask.
[22:30] <Flannel> stryd_one: No, disallowing that is a feature of the apt:// handler (its a security risk).  but wget and gdebi will work fine.
[22:31] <jimincascadia> yea kinda sorta
[22:31] <usser> qwerty, its probably checking your harddrive depending on the size it may take quite a while
[22:31] <stryd_one> i've read apt-get and aptitude man pages a zillion times but i can't see how you can use it to get a deb file from a URL (as opposed to a package name from a repo you have added)
[22:31] <Flannel> stryd_one: You could put those debs in your PPA (with permission, of course) and then add your PPA to the repos list
[22:31] <qwerty> usser would this take hours?
[22:31] <Flannel> stryd_one: You can't.
[22:31] <jimincascadia> have the driver in  - we get as far as the sudo modprobe... and it soesn't survive the re-boot
[22:31] <usser> qwerty, no shouldnt
[22:31] <Zelda1> If im creating a NAS, using software RAID 5, would I use this or Ubuntu Server?
[22:31] <stryd_one> cool
[22:31] <lesshaste> I installed gwc but I don't know the executable name... how do I find the files installed?
[22:32] <qwerty> usser, it has so far =(
[22:32] <stryd_one> actually i don't have a ppa yet but i'm seriously considering it right now
[22:32] <reportingsjr> how do I open a program if it's hidden??
[22:32] <axeus> Anyone here running dualboot on an M1530 XPS?
[22:32] <Flannel> lesshaste: dpkg -L gwc | grep /bin/
[22:32] <qwerty> there are 6 tbs in it though...
[22:32] <lesshaste> thx
[22:32] <jimincascadia> it works fine - wireless works - but have to re enter tose 2 lines on re-boot
[22:32] <l3d> trying to install virtualbox and it keeps saying a error vm driver not installed I have install the generic module  and still keeps saying it
[22:32] <stryd_one> Flannel: one last (i think) question: is there a 'correct' place to save the debs i download?
[22:32] <Gizmo_The_Great> my nivida settings report 24-bit colour depth. An application I am trying to run in wine is asking for 32 bit mode to be enabled. Any ideas how I do this in Ubuntu? I using 7.10
[22:33] <box> what do i use to change the settings for my monitor like selecting what type it is instead of it being a generic monitor
[22:33] <usser> jimincascadia, add the module to /etc/modules
[22:33] <Zelda1> i give up..
[22:33] <Flannel> stryd_one: Not really, no.  apt has a place, but thats just for stuff in the repos.  I imagine you'll be deleting them aftwards anyway
[22:33] <reportingsjr> can anyone help me?
[22:33] <qwerty> i am also not seeing any progress at any point, it is showing 0% stage 1/5
[22:33] <Gizmo_The_Great> Zeldal - you tried using FreeNAS?
[22:33] <reportingsjr> come on, it's not even a hard question..
[22:33] <stryd_one> flannel: i will be now heheh
[22:34] <DOT3CH> whats the best torrent program for ubuntu
[22:34] <stryd_one> thanks heaps man!
[22:34] <usser> qwerty, start ubuntu without graphical splash to see all the messages it spits out

[22:34] <lesshaste> I am using alsa which works but some apps try to write to /dev/dsp which fails
[22:34] <qwerty> thx
[22:35] <lesshaste> how do I get them to use alsa?
[22:35] <sauvin> Depends on the app.
[22:35] <reportingsjr> bah, you guys suck.
[22:35] <lesshaste> in other words, what is the audio device for an alsa setup or can I get /dev/dsp to work somehow?
[22:36] <Zikey> Hi, I'm hunting a script that kill ntpd, runs ntpdate, start ntpd again, any idea ? :)
[22:36] <Zikey> some bogus script
[22:36] <sauvin> lesshaste, I usually run into that trouble when two or more apps try to use /dev/dsp at the same time. mplayer used to give me fits for that. You have to tell each app to use alsa.
[22:36] <lesshaste> sauvin, right but take gnome wave cleaner (gwc) for example.. it is just asks me for a device name
[22:36] <Fructose> Zikey: Why not write it yourself? Sounds very simple.
[22:37] <mizipzor> anyone that can help with this? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=899427
[22:37] <DOT3CH> anyone know of some good software sources i can add, im on a fairly fresh install
[22:37] <Zikey> no i mean, some bogus script in ubuntu is killing ntpd, running ntpdate, starting ntpd again at boot time, i looked everywhere and can't find it
[22:37] <stryd_one> reportingsjr	bah, you guys suck.
[22:37] <stryd_one> man you get some prime quality idiots in here
[22:37] <box> how can i configure what type of monitor i have instead of it just showing generic? when i use displayconfig-gtk it willnot let me change the monitor portion ??
[22:38] <lesshaste> sauvin, lsof /dev/dsp says nothing is using it
[22:38] <sauvin> Yea, I know, but that didn't mean nothing was using it. Confused the living !@#$@%# outta me.
[22:39] <usser> Zikey, look in /etc/init.d/ /etc/rc.local
[22:40] <Zikey> usser, i think i found it, it's a bitch, it's /etc/network/if-up.d/ntpdate
[22:41] <usser> Zikey, great, deleting it will pbbly get your time settings out of whack...
[22:41] <esac> does anybody know what gets called for suspend/resume on ubuntu? is there a series of scripts that get called ? i tried adding an echo "foo">/tmp/foo.txt at the top of files in /etc/acpi/resume.d and it didnt seem to call these
[22:41] <Fructose> usser: ?
[22:41] <kcman> can anyone tell me why avi files are so tuff to play on ubuntu?
[22:41] <Fructose> usser: Do you just make stuff up?
[22:42] <Fructose> kcman: How are they tough to play?
[22:43] <usser> Fructose, yes as a matter of fact i do
[22:43] <usser> Fructose, no why?
[22:43] <kcman> fructose when i double click on the the movie player opens and it is playing at like half speed
[22:44] <adakos> when connecting over SSH with the -X switch, how do you get the X windows on your local desktop, i still get the terminal look. and when i do sudo startx, it tells me - Serve fatal error, server is active for display 0
[22:45] <Rolaulten> Ello all, got a quick little thing with madwifi, for some reason the "sudo modprobe" from within the madwifi directory is not staying after a reboot...any ideas?
[22:45] <usser> adakos, try gnome-session
[22:45] <greendot> ISSUE:  I have the latest Ubuntu, but I'm in a situation where I need NDIS Wrapper to be compiled and installed to work with my Nintendo Wi-Fi Connector.  I have no other way of getting online, so when I need to get this working, all the tutorials tell me to download this or that, but I have no way of downloading the development stuff so to do the make commands
[22:45] <Fructose> kcman: If that happened to me, my first guess would be that other processes are using up all my CPU.
[22:45] <Nightwolf_> Hello

Så i cant see the bottom menu, i can only see "computer" & "home directoty". I have tried command "gnome-display-proprities" and the resolution i on "off" and a text "unknown" is shown in the screen above. And i have tried /etc/X11/xorg.conf but no resolution i specified, so i specified it but no result on reboot. And i've tried "d
[22:45] <jm0> pkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg". But the "guide" never comes to resolution. Can someone please help me out? thanks in advance..
[22:45] <corey> can someone help me with my sound problem
[22:45] <Nightwolf_> whats your prob?
[22:45] <kcman> fructose so what would you think when that is the only process running?
[22:45] <Nightwolf_> with the sound?
[22:45] <fanfan> salut
[22:46] <corey> its not working at all
[22:46] <corey> the tech pages don't help me
[22:46] <Nightwolf_> u got ubuntu 8.04 right?
[22:46] <adakos> usser: when i do that it tells it gtk-warning, cannot open display.
[22:46] <Fructose> kcman: That there's something buggy with your system if it reports only one process running.
[22:46] <corey> think so
[22:46] <lesshaste> sauvin, so i am confused.. how do I tell which app is grabbing the sound device?
[22:46] <kcman> fructose someone told me on another topic that my graphics drivers might be bad, so how do i check that?
[22:46] <Nightwolf_> go to  your sound icon and adjust those
[22:46] <Nightwolf_> can somone help me with virtualbox?
[22:47] <Nightwolf_> I NEED HELP WITH VIRUALBOX
[22:47] <usser> adakos, make sure you have X11Forwarding yes in your /etc/ssh/sshd_config on the server
[22:47] <kcman> fructose how do i check to see what processes are running?
[22:47] <Fructose> kcman: If it's not because your CPU isn't fast or that you've got other things running, first I'd try VLC.
[22:47] <adakos> usser: ill check that.
[22:47] <Fructose> kcman: System > Administration > System Monitor
[22:47] <corey> I just bought this program and did all the updates
[22:48] <Fructose> kcman: It's possible the default movie player just isn't good at decoding whatever codec this avi file uses.
[22:48] <greendot> So is there a disk I can download with all the development tools so I can compile stuff?
[22:48] <kcman> fructose is vlc in the synaptic downloader?
[22:48] <greendot> 'cause I can't download anything
[22:48] <jm0>  hello. I have problems with my resolution i linux mint 5 (just installed). The resolution i too big from splash, login, and desktop. Så i cant see the bottom menu, i can only see "computer" & "home directoty". I have tried command "gnome-display-proprities" and the resolution i on "off" and a text "unknown" is shown in the screen above. And i have tried /etc/X11/xorg.conf but no resolution i specified, so i specified it but no result on reboot. And i've tried "d
 pkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg". But the "guide" never comes to resolution. Can someone please help me out? thanks in advance..
[22:48] <Fructose> greendot: A disk you can download? Would a package work?
[22:48] <Fructose> greendot: i.e. build-essential
[22:48] <greendot> i need the entire development stuff
[22:49] <greendot> because i need it to get NDIS wrapper to work
[22:49] <Fructose> jm0: Linux Mint isn't supported in here
[22:49] <greendot> and i can't download anything because i have no physical connection where i am in the house
[22:49] <jm0> Fructose, ok then..
[22:50] <Fructose> greendot: Well, "entirely development stuff" is not well-defined. I haven't built the NDIS wrapper, but it wouldn't surprise me if it has dependencies you have to hand-pick.
[22:51] <greendot> Fructose: i don't know what all is needed, it just tells me i don't have the "make" command, and i have no way of getting it
[22:51] <rukA`> Hello, im a 1 hour user of ubuntu
[22:51] <rukA`> im with a problem im teamspeak
[22:51] <Fructose> greendot: Well, build-essential is the first package you'd want to install
[22:51] <rukA`> i can hear other people talk
[22:51] <rukA`> but i can't talk to them
[22:51] <Alan_M> !enter | rukA`
[22:51] <rukA`> in windows i can
[22:51] <Fructose> greendot: http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/build-essential
[22:51] <greendot> Fructose: will it ask for dependencies?
[22:52] <kcman> fructose vlc is working just fine thanks
[22:52] <cgibin> hello, i know how to by pass this message, however, how can i make this http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m856733
[22:52] <Fructose> greendot: Yes. See the link.
[22:52] <andycaz> Anyone of you guys know some better way to get required dev packages when running ./configure? currently ive been installing dev packages manually and its starting to piss me off, it takes 10-15 runs before it gets all of them
[22:52] <greendot> fructose: i just don't want to have to keep going back and forth from lin to win just to have to d/l new stuff
[22:52] <isleshocky77> Does anyone have any experience syncing Windows Mobile and Kontact? Or know of a how-to?  I have been looking and trying for three weeks.
[22:52] <Fructose> greendot: Then you need to do your research and figure out what NDIS needs.
[22:52] <unop> cgibin, add php5-common to the list of packages you are installing
[22:53] <cgibin> thank you unop
[22:53] <cgibin> error
[22:53] <cgibin> let me pastebin
[22:53] <greendot> Fructose: is there a DVD i can download with the repositories of the dev stuff? or am i stuck doing it this way?
[22:53] <cgibin> http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m4ba4fca3
[22:53] <usser> andycaz, sudo apt-get build-dep <name of the package>
[22:53] <Fructose> greendot: Or you could also just download the ndiswrapper-common package
[22:54] <greendot> okay, that might work better
[22:54] <Fructose> greendot: ...assuming that you don't actually want to build it from source
[22:54] <cgibin> its already in the list unop: php5-common
[22:54] <cgibin> you see
[22:54] <Fructose> greendot: There are other packages too, such as ndiswrapper-utils. There's a search menu on that page I linked
[22:54] <andycaz> usser: any way to uninstall them after ive built my little program?
[22:55] <nillerzz> Hey is there a way to upgrade from Fluxbuntu 7.10 to Ubuntu Hardy?
[22:55] <andycaz> usser: currently they take 150mb to get installed
[22:55] <Fructose> greendot: I don't know about a supplemental CD/DVD. You can try to search.
[22:55] <andycaz> usser: by the way im installing vlc
[22:55] <hoonteke> anyone know how I might "duplicate" my wireless device?  I'm trying to be able to mess with my tapN devices as through iwconfig.  Any ideas/pointers?
[22:55] <nillerzz> Hey is there a way to upgrade from Fluxbuntu 7.10 to Ubuntu Hardy without losing things?
[22:55] <usser> andycaz, eh? compiling vlc?
[22:55] <andycaz> hoonteke: you mean create two interfaces? like eth0 and eth0:0
[22:55] <cgibin> hello, i know how to by pass this message, however, how can i make this http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m856733
[22:55] <kcman> fructose vlc has no audio, any fixes??
[22:56] <andycaz> usser: yes, why wouldnt i
[22:56] <hactar> curious. how do i open ports in 8.04?
[22:56] <usser> andycaz, well its packaged and in the repos for your convinience :)
[22:56] <hoonteke> andycaz: sure, I think.  I thought tapN ws the way, but that would work to.  (What is that syntax?)
[22:56] <hoonteke> andycaz: yes, I want to interfaces
[22:56] <hoonteke> *two
[22:56] <cgibin> add the port in iptables
[22:56] <cgibin> as accept
[22:56] <hactar> like, with ufw?
[22:57] <andycaz> usser: Im compiling a newer version to see if it fixes paff codec issue im having with mpeg-4 dvb-t stream
[22:57] <Fructose> kcman: Not off the top of my head. Try Google.
[22:58] <hactar> cgibin: cuz i triedand it didn't work
[22:58] <adakos> usser: still no luck, i edited the configuration files, stopped, and restarted the ssh service. X11forwarding is yes, i am using the -X switch on SSH connection. (now im getting error: can't open display or GTK-Warning: cannot open display)
[22:58] <usser> andycaz, oh ok. i dont think u can automatically undo build-dep command other than noticing what it installs
[22:58] <usser> adakos, u do have gnome installed?
[22:58] <andycaz> hoonteke: then you need to go to /etc/network/interfaces and create that interface
[22:58] <adakos> i have xfce installed, rather than gnome, but the system should be the same, yes?
[22:58] <cgibin> look at the sockstat if its 4 see on 4 if its 6 see on 6,
[22:59] <Amerikan> Someone help me with openssh
[22:59] <TheMaxzilla> (please)
[22:59] <Amerikan> pleasee :)
[22:59] <cgibin> dont say someone help me
[22:59] <usser> adakos, dont run gnome-session then, try xfce4 or something to that extent
[22:59] <cgibin> ask the damm question
[22:59] <adakos> Amerikan what do you need to know about openssh, are you having a particular problem ?
[22:59] <hoonteke> andycaz: hmm, do you have any pointer to some documentation on that?
[22:59] <hoonteke> of should I google?
[22:59] <adakos> usser: i changed my command line to xfce4-session
[22:59] <andycaz> hoonteke: take a look of this: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/reference/ch-gateway.en.html search for eth0:0
[23:00] <hoonteke> great, thanks
[23:00] <adakos> usser: I did that initially, I know better than trying to run a program that isnt installed, hehe
[23:00] <Amerikan> adakos: I set it up on my gf's windows computer and have made the passwd file and the group file, But It never let's me log on.
[23:00] <slammed87d21> why cant i install win xp on an external hd?
[23:00] <usser> adakos, hm, that is weird
[23:00] <cgibin> hello, i know how to by pass this message, however, how can i make this http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m856733
[23:01] <andycaz> hoonteke: remember to use your own interface names, for wireless i would presume its wlan0
[23:01] <slammed87d21> why cant i install win xp on an external hd?
[23:01] <Amerikan> slammed67d21 what happens when you try?
[23:01] <hactar> is there any program in 8.04 i can use to open ports?
[23:01] <hactar> besides ufw, which doesn't work
[23:01] <kcman> fructose do you know anything about burning iso's with ubuntu?
[23:01] <hoonteke> andycaz: sorry, I don't understand?
[23:01] <adakos> usser: i know. Will it break if I run two sessions of the file manager at once?
[23:01] <usser> adakos, what do u mean? btw can u run any other gui applications?
[23:02] <andycaz> hoonteke: the example i gave you used eth0 and eth0:0 to create interface configuration. You said you need it for wireless, right? So you need to replace eth0 with your own interface, just a reminder for you
[23:02] <SpeCon> can somebody tell me why i can't watch movies online ? and why i can't view wmv files on my linux computer
[23:02] <hoonteke> oh, yeah, ehhe
[23:02] <usser> hactar, firestarter probably
[23:02] <SpeCon> cause i'm getting sick off it
[23:02] <hoonteke> already with you
[23:02] <Fructose> kcman: Right-click -> Write To Disc?
[23:02] <hoonteke> thought I was missing something.  Thanks andycaz.
[23:02] <adakos> usser: i can run it from the server fine, but nothing works over the SSH connection.
[23:02] <db92> by default, on which hard drives mbr does the ubuntu installer install grub to?
[23:02] <andycaz> hoonteke: yup, no problem
[23:02] <SpeCon> i'm a new linux user so i need help in this
[23:02] <hactar> guess we'll try that one again
[23:02] <cgibin> hello, i know how to by pass this message, however, how can i make this http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m856733
[23:03] <Amerikan> SpeCon what player have you tried?
[23:03]  * hoonteke goes offline to test it right quick.
[23:03] <Fructose> db92: There is no "default". You select it during installation.
[23:03] <SpeCon> Amerikan:  Every possible player
[23:03] <Amerikan> Try getting VLC
[23:03] <usser> adakos, i dont know. do u have X server running on the  server?
[23:03] <SpeCon> Amerikan: every possible player i found on internet for linux. Kaffeine mplayer etc
[23:03] <db92> Fructose: grub gets written to the mbr of the hard drive on which i mount my /boot right?
[23:03] <SpeCon> vlc etc
[23:03] <kcman> fructose yeah when i do that and when i use brasero they both take about 40 min to do nothing at the slowest speed, they then spit out the disk saying it is done then when i load the disc into other machine including windows they have nothing on them...
[23:03] <SpeCon> Amerikan: i installed win32-codecs aswell
[23:04] <SpeCon> nothing helps
[23:04] <usser> cgibin, just delete php5-json as it states its part of php5-common
[23:04] <Fructose> db92: Grub has multiple stages. /boot is not your MBR
[23:04] <cgibin> doesnt anyone know?
[23:04] <adakos> usser: i think so, i might have copied the wrong file over actually.. ssh config instead of sshd
[23:04] <Amerikan> SpeCon: Have you tried converting it to another format?
[23:04] <SpeCon> Amerikan: + when i go to websites i cannot see the movies on it
[23:04] <adakos> usser: ill be back in a few, im going to sort this out heh
[23:04] <db92> Fructose: did i say it was? :||
[23:04] <riotkittie> grub makes me a sad panda :(
[23:04] <SpeCon> Amerikan: no i didn't try that. It should work without that to
[23:05] <Amerikan> SpeCon: Are you using firefox, With flash and everything installed?
[23:05] <SpeCon> Amerikan: yes
[23:05] <Khisanth> wouldn't need flash for wmv :)
[23:05] <Amerikan> khisanth: He mentioned movies online
[23:05] <gRaCiOsO> anyone could help me?
[23:06] <Khisanth> Amerikan: I know, still wouldn't need flash for wmv
[23:06] <RaedWulf_> hello all
[23:06] <andycaz> hoonteke: did it work for you?
[23:06] <Amerikan> SpeCon: Sorry, I'm a new user also. maybe someone else can help
[23:06] <Khisanth> SpeCon: do you have the mplayer plugins for the browser you are using?
[23:06] <Amerikan> khisanth: I'm fully aware thank you :)
[23:06] <SpeCon> Khisanth:  i dunno
[23:06] <RaedWulf_> I'm having a bit of a problem with the file browser for ubuntu 8.04.
[23:06] <SpeCon> i'm newbee
[23:06] <Khisanth> SpeCon: which browser are you using?
[23:06] <db92> im just saying that i remember not specifying on which disks bootsector grub bootloader was gonna be installed @ the installer
[23:06] <lovinglinux> Specon: try this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=766683
[23:07] <RaedWulf_> for some reason, everytime I browse the home folder and hit "Up", it freezes.
[23:07] <Amerikan> will someone pm me who has experience with OpenSSH?
[23:07] <RaedWulf_> I was wonderinf if anyone could help me out?
[23:07] <lovinglinux> SpeCon: install the GECKO MEDIA PLAYER provided in that tutorial
[23:07] <kogi> hi.. i cannot enter slashes.. it's the same key with the question mark, but the question mark can be entered
[23:07] <SpeCon> lovinglinux: guess i gonna try that
[23:08] <gRaCiOsO> i cant get logged in wpa networks with my ubuntu anyone know why??
[23:09] <mads-> How do I check which video codec a file uses?
[23:09] <RaedWulf_> hmm... now I can't even browse my computer
[23:09] <RaedWulf_> it simply bogs my system down
[23:09] <RaedWulf_> to a halt.
[23:09] <hoonteke> andycaz: blast.  so this may be an issue of the driver and physical hardware, but I was hoping to have my wireless card be able to talk to two different wireless networks at the same time.
[23:09] <RaedWulf_> (like it is doing right now)
[23:09] <lovinglinux> SpeCon: follow that tutorial step by step. Pay attention that some instructions are for older versions of Ubuntu. You may have issues with quicktime, but there is a troubleshooting section that solve the problem
[23:09] <SpeCon> lovinglinux:  okay tnx
[23:09] <SpeCon> hope that works out
[23:09] <hoonteke> but right now, if I change one's association, the other also changes.  :-(
[23:10] <RaedWulf_> ... can anyone help?
[23:10] <RaedWulf_> please?
[23:10] <lovinglinux> Gecko Media Player is awesome and it will install plugins for Quicktime, Divx, WMV
[23:10] <kcman> fructose did you see my last message about my "write to disc" feature?
[23:10] <Khisanth> lovinglinux: that page seems a bit excessive, installing almost every available player
[23:10] <Xodiac13> in ubuntu 7.10 it says encoding on the console and i have to choose an option during the command-line system installation what does this mean
[23:11] <kogi> hi.. i cannot enter slashes.. it's the same key with the question mark, but the question mark can be entered
[23:11] <kogi> i have ubuntu 8.04 hardy heron
[23:11] <Xodiac13> i am confused
[23:11] <hactar> alright - so if firestarter doesn't... open the ports... what will?
[23:11] <adakos> hmm, while my computer is rebooting: is it possible to dual boot ubuntu/winxp with a disc image or do I need to isntall a cd drive?
[23:11] <lovinglinux> Khisanth:  you don't need to install everything, just some of the alternatives
[23:11] <andycaz> hoonteke: nope, that is impossible. A wifi card can be associated with only one station as far as i know
[23:12] <RaedWulf_> ok.. now I can't browse anything on my pc at all.
[23:12] <kogi> um.. no help at all?
[23:12] <Xodiac13> what does the encoding on the console mean during the ubuntu 7.10 command-line system install
[23:12] <lovinglinux> Does someone know if it is possible to send a Note from Tomby Notes to the TErminal wit one click?
[23:12]  * Khisanth has yet to run into anything that was a problem for mplayer + flash
[23:13] <Flannel> Xodiac13: What do you mean?  Where do you see it?
[23:13] <hoonteke> andycaz: :-( But I can assign arbitrary mac addresses to devices
[23:13] <hoonteke> why couldn't I do similar bit here?
[23:13] <Xodiac13> this is what it says
[23:13] <kogi> hello? i cannot enter slashes.. i NEED to be able to enter slashes
[23:13] <hoonteke> I suppose because then the card would physically have to alternate frequencies or what not?
[23:13] <Xodiac13> ubuntu installer main menu
[23:13] <RaedWulf_> kogi
[23:13] <Xodiac13> encoding on the console:
[23:13] <RaedWulf_> have you tried reconfiguring your keyboard?
[23:13] <Xodiac13> here are my options
[23:14] <kogi> um
[23:14] <Xodiac13> armscii-8
[23:14] <Xodiac13> cp1251
[23:14] <Xodiac13> cp1255
[23:14] <Xodiac13> cp1256
[23:14] <Flannel> Xodiac13: choose UTF-8
[23:14] <kcman> can anyone tell me why when i right click and choose write to disc on any type of ISO all it does is take about 40 min to eject the black disc again???
[23:14] <kogi> RaedWulf_: it used to work properly the day before yesterday
[23:14] <Xodiac13> ok
[23:14] <Crazed_by_Pengui> Does anyone here have any experience with xrdp?
[23:14] <Xodiac13> Flannel: what does that mean
[23:15] <Flannel> Xodiac13: Its the character encoding used, but why it asks, I'm not sure.  Did you select the expert install?
[23:15] <RaedWulf_> kogi, I'm having the same kind of "everything was fine and now it isn't" kind of problem, except I can't browse my file systems. The computer takes FOREVER to open any hdd.
[23:15] <fistandandelus> i have in my xorg.conf file set my monitor's mode to 1440x900, which ddcprobe and get-edid both confirm is what my monitor should be at, but whenever i startx it reverts back to what it thinks my monitor supports as 1280x1024
[23:15] <andycaz> hoonteke: yes, you can change mac addresses for these virtual interfaces
[23:15] <Xodiac13> Flannel: no the command-line install
[23:16] <RaedWulf_> kogi: what have you done to troubleshoot so far?
[23:16] <Xodiac13> Flannel: now its asking me to choose a font for the console
[23:16] <hoonteke> andycaz: yeah, but the underlying issue is still that the card would need to speak two different frequencies at the same time, right?
[23:16] <carandraug> kcman: have you tried using a burner program?
[23:16] <Xodiac13> Flannel: it gives me like arabic, armenian, cyrillic, and more
[23:16] <andycaz> hoonteke: yup, and that is impossible as far as i know
[23:16] <Flannel> Xodiac13: Well, pick whichever you think looks normal
[23:17] <hoonteke> andycaz: :-)  I take that as a challenge!
[23:17] <RaedWulf_> ??? ok, now it's browsing properly. What's wrong with this system?
[23:17] <Xodiac13> Flannel: i feel retarted because i thought it was asking me the language sorry i thought to hard into it
[23:17] <kogi> RaedWulf_: unfortunately, i'm a noob, so i cant help you with your problem.. as for the troubleshoot, i've tried removing the USA layout and installing it again
[23:17] <hactar> okay. so does anything work in 8.04?
[23:17] <kcman> carandraug yes, i have also tried brasero one of the other programs under add/remove it does the exact samething...
[23:17] <hactar> or is the idea that, when you've got years of updates to give out, you need to pace yourself
[23:18] <RaedWulf_> kogi: do all other the keys work properly?
[23:18] <kogi> RaedWilf_: but i dont think its a layout problem, becausei have two different language layouts and i cannot enter a slash when using either of them
[23:18] <porncake> how come when i drop the themes i download from gnome-look.org in appearance -> themes it says this is not a theme file
[23:18] <tony_> can someone tell me why every time i install mythtv i get "no upnp backends found" or something and then "couldn't login" etc?
[23:18] <porncake> do i need some sort of a special theme manager?
[23:18] <kogi> RaedWulf_: yes, in fact they do
[23:18] <RaedWulf_> kogi: slash or backslash?
[23:18] <gRaCiOsO> i cant get logged in wpa networks with my ubuntu anyone know why??
[23:18] <Xodiac13> Flannel: so for the console font its not going to mess up my keyboard
[23:18] <Xodiac13> Flannel: when i type?
[23:19] <kogi> RaeWulf_: this -> / (i copied and pasted it)
[23:19] <carandraug> kcman: does it burn anything when you try to burn files instead of an iso? Have you tried using a different brand of CD's? My burner refuses to burn in some brands.
[23:19] <RaedWulf_> Kogi: two ways to type it: shift+7 or / above #8 if you have a numerical keypad. Neither work?
[23:19] <Flannel> Xodiac13: I've honestly never seen those questions before.  Just pick the one that looks normal.
[23:20] <CrazedbyPenguins> Does anyone here have any experience with xrdp?
[23:20] <kcman> carandraug i have used this brand before on both of my ubuntu boxes and now both of them will not write iso's and iso's only...
[23:20] <Xodiac13> Flannel: lol well all the ones except English because it doesnt even have that one
[23:20] <Matt367> hey does anybody now how to change from the windows longhorn loader tu grub
[23:20] <Flannel> !grub | Matt367, first link
[23:20] <koshari> can you set scrollkeeper up so it does maintenance at night?
[23:21] <RaedWulf_> how do I remove boot options from grub?
[23:21] <Matt367> i have grub already
[23:21] <Flannel> Xodiac13: Type out the options (all on one line would be fine) and I'll take a look (I'll also do some googling while you do that)
[23:21] <Flannel> Matt367: Not on your MBR if Vistas bootloader is in use
[23:21] <RaedWulf_> Not sure if I want my Ubuntu Studio RT kernel anymore.
[23:21] <Xodiac13> okay
[23:21] <Matt367> im using vistas loader
[23:21] <RaedWulf_> Kogi, did you get my question?
[23:21] <RaedWulf_> regarding the slash key?
[23:22] <carandraug> kcman: that's strange. If you couldn't burn nothing at all, maybe I could've been of help. In this case, sorry. No idea
[23:22] <Matt367> i can use the grub shell in gnome_terminal
[23:22] <Xodiac13> Flannel: when it installs and asks for the encoding which is UTF-8 then it ask me the console font like Arabic, Armenian, Greek, and so on
[23:22] <kogi> RaedWulf_: the slash over the number 8 in the numerical keypad works.. my layout doesn't print slash when i press SHIFT+7, but & :P
[23:23] <kcman> carandraug nah dont say that i will try another brand of cd but hey you have given me a ray of hope...
[23:23] <kcman> carandraug you any good at checking video drivers?
[23:23] <Matt367> 8-)
[23:24] <carandraug> kcman: No. I'm only good on what I had problems with before and my graphs were always ok
[23:24] <RaedWulf_> Kogi, Shift+8 then? or shift+6?
[23:24] <Flannel> Xodiac13: is there a Latin one?
[23:24] <Xodiac13> Flannel: Yes
[23:24] <kogi> RaedWulf_: nope
[23:24] <dorian> hey, if i wanted to transplant an old /var into a new installation, do i need to overwrite anything other than /var/lib/dpkg?
[23:25] <RaedWulf_> Kogi: well, at least you've got one slash key working.. let's check out what's going on with the other one. What layouts are you using?
[23:25] <Matt367> !botsnack
[23:25] <theunixgeek> Is there a way to download the build-essential and gtk-lib-dev packages for later installation (along with their dependencies and so on and so forth)?
[23:26] <Matt367> !apt
[23:26] <Flannel> Xodiac13: the default is .Combined - Latin, Slavic Cryllic; Hebrew; etc, right?
[23:26] <Flannel> Xodiac13: Unless you have a reason to think otherwise, just leave the defaults
[23:26] <Xodiac13> Flannel: there is one option saysing
[23:26] <carandraug> kcman: also, you can give k3b. That's supposedly the best burning application for Linux
[23:27] <Xodiac13> Flannel: .Combined - latin Slavic cyrillic: Hebrew: basic Arabic
[23:27] <kcman> carandraug were do i find k3b?
[23:27] <Matt367> !flannel
[23:27] <Xodiac13> Flannel: and combined - latin: slavic cyrillic: greek
[23:27] <kogi> RaedWulf_: i'm using a greek default and a usa default
[23:28] <carandraug> kcman: in add/remove.. just search for it. I'm searching in the forums but can't find anyone with the sam eproblem as you
[23:28] <Flannel> Matt367?
[23:28] <Xodiac13> Flannel: the last one is combined -latin: slavic and non-slavic cyrillic
[23:28] <joachim_> join #ubuntu-fr
[23:28] <joachim_> oups
[23:28] <Flannel> Xodiac13: Right.  Pick the default.
[23:28] <Matt367> yeah
[23:28] <beam> Hello. Does anyone know which network i can ask about internet marketing in?
[23:28] <Xodiac13> Flannel: it doesnt say if its default or not
[23:28] <SpentCasing> question: im running a xp/ ubuntu dual boot. xp on 1st hd with music/movies on other hd (which ubuntu was installed on) im assuming ntfs partition. how can i access my music and movies in ubuntu? and downloading into same folders would be awesome also.
[23:28] <Xodiac13> Flannel: i dont know which is the default one
[23:29] <unop> theunixgeek,  apt-get install -d build-essential libblah etc
[23:29] <theunixgeek> unop: for later installation
[23:29] <kcman> carandraug thanks bro i found it k3b in synaptic and am installing it now, also yeah i have not be able to get help on this topic for sometime now...
[23:29] <unop> theunixgeek, yes, see -d | --download-only in the apt-get manpage
[23:29] <theunixgeek> unop: and without having access to the Linux computer
[23:29] <theunixgeek> beam: #web
[23:30] <beam> theunixgeek: Thank you so much bro
[23:30] <carandraug> kcman: also, have you ever tried mounting the iso and then just copy the CD? If you can burn files, just not burn iso, that's may be your workaround
[23:30] <Matt367> flannel?
[23:30] <theunixgeek> unop: does it also download all the dependencies?
[23:30] <dfgas> how do i get desktop icons to default to right side
[23:30] <theunixgeek> beam: welcome
[23:30] <unop> theunixgeek, yes
[23:30] <Xodiac13> Flannel: so the first .combined - latin: slavic cyrillic: hebrew: basic arabic is the basic right?
[23:30] <theunixgeek> unop: and to what dir does it save the files too?
[23:30] <theunixgeek> dfgas: gconf-editor
[23:30] <theunixgeek> dfgas: google
[23:30] <cgibin> anyone had this issue? http://debian.pastebin.com/m1577a297
[23:30] <alfons> irssi n

[23:30] <Xodiac13> Flannel: i mean default
[23:31] <alfons> irssi -n inclusa
[23:31] <unop> theunixgeek, $PWD
[23:31] <kcman> carandraug no never thought or had anyone suggest that to me
[23:31] <beam> theunixgeek: Sorry, but how do i get there? I mean where do i type #web?
[23:31] <cgibin> any ideas?
[23:31] <theunixgeek> unop: so if I cd Downloads/ then it saves it to Downloads?
[23:32] <theunixgeek> beam: you don't know how to use IRC, do you? ;)
[23:32] <theunixgeek> beam: /join #web
[23:32] <theunixgeek> beam: or use the same method you used to join #ubuntu
[23:32] <unop> theunixgeek, right
[23:32] <Matt367> beam are u using pidig
[23:32] <carandraug> kcman: that may work. Give it a shot if you can spare the Cd's
[23:32] <SpentCasing> question: im running a xp/ ubuntu dual boot. xp on 1st hd with music/movies on other hd (which ubuntu was installed on) im assuming ntfs partition. how can i access my music and movies in ubuntu? and downloading into same folders would be awesome also.

[23:35] <TheMaxzilla> !patience | Nightwolf_
[23:35] <theunixgeek> unop: oh :/ well what are the gtk dev packages names?
[23:35] <carandraug> kcman: I wouldn't trust that CD then, My burner was crap (before stop working) and many CD's would later appear as empty. However, they were completely useless. I tried to burn something on them and it would always fail
[23:35] <Matt367> well click applications > internet > pidgin internet messinger
[23:35] <greendot> guys i really need help :(    i got NDIS wrapper installed, but it tells me i need ndiswrapper utilities, and when i look up the package, it requires other packages that also requires even more packages, and i'm in dependency hell...i can't get online at ALL where i am in the house to just download this stuff
[23:35] <beam> Matt367: Ohhhhh Pidgin. Yes i use Pidgin. Why?
[23:35] <greendot> and the only way to get online is using NDIS Wrapper, but i have to be online to install the utilities
[23:36] <greendot> otherwise i'll get confused when downloading all the packages i need :\
[23:36] <Matt367> its what im using
[23:36] <Traveler232> Hello... what's the best java compiler I can use (is it javac?) ?
[23:36] <rconan> Traveler232, javac is the command regardless of which one you use
[23:36] <cgibin> hasnt anyone had the issue i m having? anyone know?
[23:36] <rconan> Traveler232, most people would argue that sun is the best
[23:36] <theunixgeek> Traveler232: that's the only one ;)
[23:36] <unop> theunixgeek, do you have access to the internet at all - another machine or a windows machine perhaps?
[23:36] <theunixgeek> cgibin: what's your issue?
[23:37] <theunixgeek> unop: OS X
[23:37] <cgibin> http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m2ae8f37a
[23:37] <unop> theunixgeek, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/OfflinePackageDownload
[23:37] <beam> Matt367: ok u are using it and?
[23:37] <theunixgeek> unop: thanks, I'll check that out
[23:37] <Prikolchik> cgibin, is that ur issue? the link u provided?
[23:37] <cgibin> yes
[23:38] <cgibin> i searched for it doesnt seem it exists
[23:38] <unop> !info php5-json | cgibin
[23:38] <Prikolchik> cigbin, i've seen ppl working with php problems on #xubuntu. Try and see there
[23:38] <cgibin> unop, thx let me do so
[23:38] <carandraug> greendot: If you go to Synaptic package manager you can select all you want to download and then automatically generate s cript to download the packaged in another computer
[23:38] <unop> cgibin, why are you trying to install this package tho?
[23:38] <cgibin> dont have info
[23:38] <j800r> !games
[23:38] <unop> cgibin, if php5-common is already installed, you are fine
[23:38] <SpentCasing> question: im running a xp/ ubuntu dual boot. xp on 1st hd with music/movies on other hd (which ubuntu was installed on) im assuming ntfs partition. how can i access my music and movies in ubuntu? and downloading into same folders would be awesome also.
[23:39] <greendot> carandraug: i dont have another computer running linux
[23:39] <Matt367> its easy to use just make a new acount on the server irc.freenode.com
[23:39] <cgibin> i see,
[23:39] <Prikolchik> SpentCasing, google for Ubuntu Mount
[23:39] <cgibin> well be nice to install that as well
[23:39] <unop> cgibin, !info is a command in this channel
[23:39] <Traveler232> thanks rconan...  so all I need to do is "apt-get install sun-java5-jdk"  and that's that, correct?
[23:39] <Prikolchik> or talk in private
[23:39] <kcman> carandraug i droped the cd into a windows box and it still appears as empty but i will not use it as instructed
[23:39] <unop> cgibin, the functionality you want is provided by the php common package
[23:39] <Matt367> then click buddies join a chat and type #ubuntu
[23:39] <rconan> Traveler232, or sun-java6-jdk for the most recent version
[23:39] <carandraug> greendot: you can start Ubuntu in another computer with LiveCD, download to a flash drive and then take the deb files to your computer
[23:40] <Traveler232> ah.... ok, thank you so much, rconan!
[23:40] <kcman> carandraug so i mount the iso image and then copy to cd right?
[23:40] <greendot> no flash drive to wrok with either
[23:40] <Matt367> !gnu
[23:41] <cgibin> i see, thank you
[23:41] <carandraug> kcman: yes. It should work. You can mount iso files?
[23:41] <lwizardl> Hi
[23:41] <greendot> OKAY
[23:41] <beam> Matt367: Thank you
[23:41] <lwizardl> does RS232 to USB adapters work properly under Ubuntu (ie RS232 Serial -> USB port)
[23:41] <Khisanth> greendot: the networking works on the livecd but not the installed version?
[23:42] <greendot> this is BS to the max...there needs to be a DVD with the most commonly used packages that would otherwise be needed to downloaded
[23:42] <Turl> Hello
[23:42] <greendot> not at all in either sutuation Khisanth
[23:42] <Matt367> !unix
[23:43] <Khisanth> ok just wondering about carandraug's suggestion
[23:43] <Turl> hello, any MOTU here?
[23:43] <carandraug> greendot: if that computer has a CD burner, you can download them to that computer hard drive, start WIndows, Mac or whatever OS it has, burn to a CD and take the deb files to your computer for installation
[23:43] <guesswho> in virtual box it says to hit right control to switch my mouse pointer from ubuntu to my virtual box , i hit the right control button, control and right arrow key, all kinds of combos what am i doing wrong lol
[23:43] <kcman> carandraug i have it trying to burn through k3b sorry i got hung up before i could try that one but next i will try to mount the iso and then copy to cd..
[23:43] <Devourer> !xvnc
[23:43] <Devourer> Is xvnc nonexistant?
[23:43] <Matt367> !commands
[23:44] <greendot> carandraug: how on earth do i install those files without knowing which ones to install first?  there are far too many dependencies to worry about, and i dont even know if i can keep them all straight when i go to download them
[23:44] <guesswho> i am useing virtual box that comes with hardy heron ubuntu
[23:44] <kitche> guesswho: you just click inside the virtual box to get inside of the vm
[23:44] <Theaxiom> Is there any sort of toolbar I can get in linux that is like the Vista desktop bar that I can have different widgets added to?
[23:44] <kitche> guesswho: to get out you press right ctl and move your mouse out of it
[23:44] <greendot> Theaxiom: Google desktop
[23:44] <greendot> Theaxiom: i think it has a linux version
[23:44] <carandraug> Khisanth: he needs to install an application that has dependencies, which have dependencies, has no network connection and knows no one with Linux. I was telling him that he could generate a script to automatically downlaod everything he needed in other persons computer using LiveCD
[23:44] <guesswho> kitche: it keeps mentions something about auto capture and does not work when i click inside the virtual box
[23:44] <undercover> hi
[23:44] <Theaxiom> greendot: I am talking like cpu/ram usage, etc
[23:44] <Matt367> !botsnack | flannel
[23:45] <carandraug> kcman: so I'm guessing burning the iso with k3b didn't work either
[23:45] <koshar1> greendot: aptoncd will have all the dependencies of any flie thats installed on the origin system
[23:45] <guesswho> kitche; asks me to "capture" something or cancel
[23:45] <undercover> my laptop freeze when i press tab to autocomplete in terminal ... any idea ?
[23:45] <Matt367> flood
[23:45] <greendot> koshar1: will it allow me to install new files?
[23:46] <kcman> carandraug it is still trying through k3b so i will know here in a min
[23:46] <greendot> koshar1: i need to get NDISWrapper and NDISWrapper Utilities installed together
[23:46] <kitche> guesswho: well capture it's asking you if you want the mouse pointer to be held by the vm or not
[23:46] <guesswho> kitche' when i click the capture button it does not work
[23:47] <koshar1> greendot: the way you use aptoncd is install the package on the net connected sys, then make the aptoncd cd , and use the aptoncd on the non connected sys as a repo and install the package with the dependencies on the new sys
[23:47] <manolis> do you know if ubuntu 8.10 based on debian lenny?
[23:47] <carandraug> greendot: your system should already know the dependencies. If you try to install one with Synaptic package manager it should automatically select all other packages it needs. Once this is done, you select "generate package download scrip". Never used it myself but in theory, it should work
[23:47] <guesswho> kitche: nevermind i apologize for my linux noobiness, i had to click on do not show this message again first for it to work
[23:47] <greendot> but koshar1: i dont have another system to do this with
[23:47] <Matt367> ﻿hey does anybody now how to change from the windows longhorn loader to grub
[23:47] <manolis> do you know if ubuntu 8.10 based on debian lenny?
[23:48] <Khisanth> the system only has a wireless nic?
[23:48] <kitche> guesswho: yep that works to I forgot about the little checkbox
[23:48] <koshar1> greendot: thats what the aptoncd disc is used for
[23:48] <egc> hello all
[23:48] <guesswho> kitche; thanks man! :) now i can used aciddraw to make some cool ansi graphic designs
[23:48] <Matt367> ﻿hey does anybody now how to change from the windows longhorn loader to grub
[23:48] <koshar1> greendot: as long as its using the SAME version
[23:48] <ink-1> I have a pirated version of ubuntu
[23:48] <manolis> lol
[23:48] <guesswho> ink-1; lol
[23:49] <egc> can anybody point me to where i might find information on PCI wireless NICs natively supported by linux?
[23:49] <Matt367> ohmy
[23:49] <stompey> there's an OS crack though
[23:49] <greendot> koshar1: do i have to do it on a linux system?
[23:49] <koshar1> greendot yes
[23:49] <Matt367> please help me
[23:49] <Nutt718> !realplayer
[23:49] <greendot> koshar1: i dont have any other way to do this then
[23:49] <egc> i.e., i don't want to need ndiswrapper
[23:50] <manolis> do you know if ubuntu 8.10 based on debian lenny?
[23:50] <Matt367> ﻿hey does anybody now how to change from the windows longhorn loader to grub
[23:50] <koshar1> greendot:  what exactly are you atempting to do
[23:50] <greendot> koshar1: it seems i'll have to not use linux at all.  if i can't get online with it, it's pointless. to even bother with
[23:50] <undercover> hey am running ubuntu 8.04 my laptop freeze when i press tab to autocomplete in terminal ... any idea ?
[23:50] <greendot> koshar1: i'm trying to install ndiswrapper-utils without being online to do it
[23:50] <carandraug> Matt367: you're using Wubi or a native installation of Ubuntu?
[23:50] <kcman> carandraug well k3b is done i put the disc back in and nothing is loading or happening not even the black disc icon i showing up now i am lost here
[23:50] <dennister>  hey all...having troubles with sound in this new kernel...sound hardware works fine, as it did in old kernel, but has never worked in this one
[23:50] <Matt367> wubi
[23:50] <koshar1> greendot cant you get online with ethernet first then fix up the wifi issue?
[23:51] <Matt367> im using wubi
[23:51] <Tetrohead> Hey, my public key authentication doesn't seem to be working. Can anyone help?
[23:51] <greendot> koshar1: i'm not in a place where an ethernet cord will reach
[23:51] <dennister> speakup and espeakup want pulse, and I have pulse working at home, but not here...downloaded the packages, have /etc/asound.conf file
[23:51] <koshar1> greendot: you cant move to setup the wifi?
[23:51] <greendot> koshar1: i have a rather large system setup here
[23:51] <Tetrohead> I generated a key with putty-gen, and made an authorized_keys file
[23:52] <Matt367> green dot then get a ethernet cord extention
[23:52] <Tetrohead> Restarted SSH
[23:52] <Tetrohead> I can't connect
[23:52] <greendot> koshar1: the router is on one side of the house, and i'm all the way on the other side upstairs
[23:52] <dennister> but when I try to test it, with: amixer -Dpulse, the connection get refused
[23:52] <kitche> Tetrohead: what do you mean by can't connect exact
[23:52] <rconan> greendot, presumably you have a computer which you are using for IRC
[23:52] <carandraug> Matt367: I don't think you have choice. I think you need to go through windows bootloader first if you're using wubi
[23:52] <kcman> carandraug i will be right back i have to reboot
[23:52] <Prikolchik> greendot, what is ur wireless card?
[23:52] <greendot> rconan: i'm in windows
[23:52] <carandraug> kcman: ok
[23:52] <rconan> greendot, boot a livecd on that one and then run the script given by synaptic to download the files
[23:53] <Tetrohead> kitche: Putty gives me error: No supported authentication methods
[23:53] <Matt367> i cant go in windows and change the boot options
[23:53] <Tetrohead> But I changed permissions properly
[23:53] <Tetrohead> idk what could be the problem
[23:53] <Prikolchik> !mount
[23:53] <koshar1> greendot: i understand butyou may have to setup the target machine beside the router tempererily until you get the wifi working
[23:53] <greendot> Prikolchik: i'm using the nintendo wifi connector (aka the Buffalo WLI-U2-KG54-AI Wireless LAN Adapater)
[23:53] <kitche> Tetrohead: which permissions sounds like you did not configure sshd correctly to use the keys or you don't have putty using your key
[23:53] <Matt367> i mean i can't juc st go in windows and change the boot optons
[23:53] <carandraug> Matt367: I don't think Windows bootloader is editable like GRUB. Maybe it is. I believe the file is boot.ini
[23:54] <greendot> Prikolchik: i know it'll work because there are tutorials
[23:54] <koshar1> rconan: greendot doesnt have a ethernet connectin where the pc is or wifi configured
[23:54] <greendot> but the tutorials all assume that you can get online otherwise
[23:54] <unop> carandraug, how is grub editable? :)
[23:54] <dennister> can someone help me please, even pulse audio device chooser crashes at startup
[23:54] <greendot> if i had an ethernet cord up here i woudn't even BOTHER with setting up wireless at all
[23:54] <Tetrohead> kitche: I can connect to a server with the SAME EXACT authorized_keys file fine. Same exact permissions.

[23:55] <carandraug> unop: I meant you could change the time and order and colors, and many many things. I've seen you around, you know it :p
[23:55] <koshar1> greendot so you cannot temperarily set the PC up withing reach of the routher
[23:55] <GL-san> use a usb key
[23:55] <GL-san> or a cd
[23:55] <greendot> it would be a huge hassle on the part of various parties
[23:55] <GL-san> to copy over the files
[23:56] <unop> carandraug, that's only editing grub's configuration file .. so the windows boot.ini is equivalent to the grub menu.lst/menu.cfg
[23:56] <rconan> greendot, somewhat of a dilema, if you get the whole list of changes from synaptic, get all the .debs by hand and copy them into /var/cache/apt/archives then you can install using synaptic
[23:56] <koshar1> greendot another option would be to use a AP
[23:56] <greendot> AP?
[23:56] <koshar1> access point
[23:56] <kitche> Tetrohead: so you went to ssh in putty and clicked auth then browsed for your private key and hit ok and tried to connect?
[23:57] <greendot> koshar1: what on earth is that?
[23:57] <carandraug> unop: ok. You're right. But I'm not writing on my mother tong and those nuances are over me
[23:57] <Tetrohead> kitche: Yes, I am using the same exact key set on another server fine.
[23:57] <koshar1> greendot: an access point had ethernet port, and an antenna, so you set it up PC>AP>wifi
[23:58] <koshar1> via ethernet
[23:58] <Kohlrak-Server> Anyone with some experience with the xfix thing not fixing screen resolution settings?
[23:59] <Turl> yeah me
[23:59] <nrg_> hello, can anyone help me to make v4l-dvb work on intrepid?
[23:59] <thenetduck> can anyone help me?
[23:59] <greendot> okay, i just looked up all the deps
[23:59] <Khisanth> koshar1: a 100 meter ethernet cable is probably cheaper :)
[23:59] <TheMaxzilla> nrg_: I think most of use are using Hardy....
[23:59] <greendot> there are enough and i have them all up
[23:59] <carandraug> nrg_: not wanting to be rude but you'd probably have more luck in #ubuntu+1
[23:59] <ink-1> thenetduck: what is it
