[00:00] <NBrepresent> hi, how can i revert to the default video drivers?
[00:00] <omar> hello
[00:00] <xomp> IndyGunFreak, yes, after disabling desktop affects they have returned
[00:00] <alex-weej> NBrepresent: you should just be able to untick it in Hardware Drivers
[00:00] <lin1> maxflax: right click on the tab and select move
[00:00] <xomp> IndyGunFreak, but I would like my desktop effects :( I guess that's a no-no since it makes them disappear?
[00:00] <omar> anybody knows any ubuntu documentation for C/C++ ?
[00:00] <mojo_> from 2.5 to 2.0 mb
[00:00] <IndyGunFreak> xomp: so its a compiz issue.. honestly, i had that problem a long time ago, but don't recall how i resolved it.
[00:00] <NBrepresent> a video card driver doesn't show up under hardware drivers
[00:00] <mojo_> i need a command to downsize pdfs.
[00:00] <mojo_> from 2.5 to 2.0 mb
[00:00] <ircbin> Is there any way to run a bash script automatically every time I log in into gnome? It should be run as non-root account...
[00:00] <omar> reference or something like that
[00:00] <lin1> can someone help me with this? http://lint4690.deviantart.com/art/screwup-97210448
[00:00] <NBrepresent> alex-weej: ^
[00:00] <xomp> IndyGunFreak, ah ok, I shall go bug them :) Thanks
[00:01] <SuperPC> c.wyldryde.org
[00:01] <IndyGunFreak> xomp: lol..
[00:01] <alex-weej> NBrepresent: that sounds like a bug if you installed the driver via that same tool
[00:01] <IndyGunFreak> !compiz | xomp try asking ehre
[00:01] <maxflax> lin1 : that does only move it.. it's still to small.. only a fourth of the normalsizse
[00:01] <omar> SuperPC, were you answering me ?
[00:01] <kadoskracker> if anyone could help me with a NVIDIA VIDEO DRIVER question PM me plz
[00:01] <NBrepresent> alex-weej: i didn't install using the tool, i tried Envy, but I guess my card isn't supported by that
[00:01] <xomp> 2 steps ahead of yah herr IndyGunFreak :3
[00:01] <maxflax> lin1 : I want it back to default
[00:01] <lin1> shrug
[00:01] <ScheissDroge1> ircbin : u can create a user-exutable sh-script an put it in rc.local
[00:01] <NBrepresent> i also used envy to try and uninstall, but no luck, everything's still at a low resolution
[00:01] <maxflax> lin1 : like before I accidently removed it
[00:01] <alex-weej> NBrepresent: envy... already out of supported territory!
[00:02] <ScheissDroge1> ircbin : see also #bash
[00:02] <kadoskracker> looking for help with NVIDIA video drivers
[00:02] <ircbin> ScheissDroge1, ok
[00:02] <maxflax> lin1 : seems to bee impossible thou.. perhaps editing some files.. if I knew where to find them
[00:02] <alex-weej> NBrepresent: if you want to strong-arm it, you can uninstall the package providing your driver and reconfigure your xorg config
[00:02] <NBrepresent> how do i find which package provides the driver?
[00:03] <alex-weej> NBrepresent: which card and driver are you using?
[00:03] <ScheissDroge1> NBpresent: or check for old xorg.confs
[00:03] <n3hima> hey guys
[00:03] <ScheissDroge1> !hi
[00:03] <NBrepresent> scheiss, yeah, it might have been backed up first by envy...
[00:03] <maxflax> this question should be an easy one to answer, come on
[00:03] <soundray> ircbin: I don't think ScheissDroge1's solution is optimal
[00:03] <maxflax> or do I need to reinstall the whole damn ubuntu
[00:04] <tritium> patience, maxflax
[00:04] <ircbin> soundray, and so?
[00:04] <alex-weej> NBrepresent: run "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" to fiddle with your driver options etc.
[00:04] <NBrepresent> k, will do
[00:04] <n3hima> how does ubiquity add windows partitions to menu.lst, and is there an easy way to do it manually from within ubuntu (runnig hardy)
[00:04] <soundray> ircbin: if you want to run a script on login, create it either in $HOME/bin or /usr/local/bin, then add it in System-Preferences-Session-Startup Programs
[00:04] <alex-weej> or simply delete your /etc/X11/xorg.conf if you feel like trying your luck with autoconfiguration
[00:04] <alex-weej> NBrepresent: ^
[00:04] <maxflax> tritium - something thats getting thinner by the moment now
[00:05] <NBrepresent> alex-weej: autoconfig worked the first time around, i don't see why it wouldn't work again
[00:05] <ircbin> soundray, OK, I'll try it...
[00:05] <tritium> felix-da-catz_zz: please quit the nick spam
[00:05] <soundray> ircbin: alternatively, "touch ~/.gnomerc ; chmod +x ~/.gnomerc' and run your command from that file.

[00:05] <jin> Hi, what tool can I use to split a video into two parts?
[00:05] <Area_51> ?when i enter into tty1 login and perform su login it say s it is no ath... it never asked me for root at install only user account password
[00:06] <alex-weej> maxflax: screenshot of your problem?
[00:06] <PrivateVoid> looking for advice on getting a Linksys WPC11 working - its an RTL8180L chipset
[00:06] <carandraug> Area_51: root account is disabled by default in Ubuntu
[00:06] <ircbin> soundray, ok, thanks! I'll try it...
[00:07] <maxflax> where do I find the configfiles for the panels?
[00:07] <n3hima> Area_51, use sudo instead
[00:07] <Area_51> how do you fic
[00:07] <tritium> !sudo | Area_51
[00:07] <alex-weej> maxflax: gconf
[00:07] <Area_51> *fix
[00:07] <Area_51> not su
[00:07] <Area_51> sudo
[00:07] <n3hima> yes
[00:07] <carandraug> Area_51: fic?
[00:07] <Area_51> fix*
[00:07] <maxflax> alex-weej : so the settings of each addin to the panels can be found there?
[00:08] <carandraug> Area_51: there's nothing to fix. It's a security thing having sudo disabled by default.
[00:08] <alex-weej> maxflax: if you describe your problem better i can help you more
[00:08] <n3hima> Area_51, if you want a root shell, run sudo su -
[00:08] <tritium> n3hima: no, sudo -i
[00:08] <alex-weej> n3hima: you mean sudo -s
[00:08] <soundray> !rootshell | n3hima
[00:08] <alex-weej> :P
[00:08] <n3hima> ok ok!
[00:08] <tritium> alex-weej: sudo -i
[00:08] <n3hima> sorry!
[00:08] <craigbass1976> besides xsane, what can I use to scan things?  I've scanned before wiht this computer and scanner, and I thinkI had to use something else.  Can't remember what it was
[00:08] <alex-weej> sudo -s
[00:08] <soundray> !rootshell | alex-weej
[00:08] <tritium> alex-weej: ^^^
[00:08] <Area_51> shorewall won't let me config.. it without root privelges
[00:09] <Area_51> i will try sudo su
[00:09] <zcat[1]> problem; my laptop has ati rage mobility chipset; if I boot up with an external monitor it freezes just after I log in. This seems to be caused by the 'clone display' setting, if I log in without the externam screen, turn that off, then plug the screen in, log out and back in, sometimes everything works. But something keeps turning 'clone display' back on. What?
[00:09] <tritium> Area_51: no, read above info on !rootshell
[00:09] <alex-weej> sudo -s
[00:09] <alex-weej> -i is for -idiots
[00:09] <tritium> alex-weej: stop
[00:09] <soundray> craigbass1976: scanimage (command line) or xscanimage perhaps
[00:09] <mit> Can't open /dev/fb0: No such file or directory   <- mplayer says that, whats wrong?
[00:09] <carandraug> Area_51: take a look at that page from ubottu https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo to know about it. If you want to activate root account, enter "sudo pssword ******" where ***** is root password
[00:09] <maxflax> alex-weej : the windows list addin to the lower panel is not wide enough, all the tabs are to small and doesn't fill out to the right as before
[00:09] <zcat[1]> what is the difference between sudo -i and sudo -s ?
[00:09] <Jaded> so...
[00:10] <maxflax> alex-weej : I only see "..." in the boxes
[00:10] <craigbass1976> soundray, that stil seems to be using the sane backend.
[00:10] <joejoecircusboy> zcat[1]: -s is for 'suckage'
[00:10] <Jaded> anyone ever tried to go from debian -> ubuntu on a live runnign system ?
[00:10] <alex-weej> maxflax: that sounds as if whatever is to the right of the window list is taking up the space
[00:10] <alex-weej> maxflax: what is the panel applet immediately to the right
[00:10] <zcat[1]> they both appear to do -exactly- the same thing
[00:10] <carandraug> Area_51: sorry, the command is only "sudo passwd"
[00:10] <soundray> zcat[1]: the difference is documented in man sudo
[00:10] <alex-weej> sudo -s is for SHell, sudo -i is for "simulate initial login", changing your current directory and doing all sorts of other pointless confusing shit
[00:10] <maxflax> alex-weej : I have none to the right except the workspace addin
[00:11] <OrangeKyo> zcat[1]: you tried the man sudo page right?
[00:11] <tritium> !language | alex-weej
[00:11] <alex-weej> maxflax: they are called "applets" btw
[00:11] <zcat[1]> anyhow.. my question about 'clone display' -- any answers?
[00:11] <Area_51> zcat[1] | I used kubuntu on my cf48 panisonic tough book which has the same moble chipset
[00:11] <n3hima> repeat... how does ubiquity add windows partitions to menu.lst, and is there an easy way to do it manually from within ubuntu (runnig hardy)
[00:11] <DIFH-iceroot> zcat[1]: man sudo
[00:11] <Area_51> works fine ok
[00:11] <maxflax> alex-weej : ok
[00:11] <alex-weej> maxflax: you see, there is no panel configuration for the width of an applet...
[00:11] <zcat[1]> this is really pissing me off btw; if I boot from the live CD I have no problems at all with the external display either
[00:11] <Area_51> ok i am going to go read up on that page
[00:11] <ScheissDroge1> zcat: little outdated, but good ideas : !dualhead
[00:12] <alex-weej> maxflax: try adding the Window List applet to the space and see what happens
[00:12] <Area_51> I am sure i can change with nano orvim
[00:12] <Area_51> vim*
[00:12] <Area_51> my keyboard and this rolling tray suck
[00:12] <zcat[1]> I don't want dual-head. I want xorg to act as if I have only ONE display and just let the chipset do whatever it did right trough the whole startup process...
[00:12] <OrangeKyo> maxflax: i dunno did you try right clicking the panel, selecting properites, and adjusting the width in pixels?
[00:13] <maxflax> alex-weej : Now I have to list of the same , and both are small in size.
[00:13] <OrangeKyo> maxflax: you can change it to something really big like 96 , if you need 4 rows of program tabs
[00:13] <zcat[1]> because it's only when ubuntu tries to get all clever and handle the second display for me that things get screwed up.. it locks up hard and ONLY holding the power button for four seconds will get me out again.. not even sysreq sequences work
[00:13] <ScheissDroge1> zcat:maybe try to copy live's xorg.conf ?!
[00:13] <zcat[1]> and nothing gets logged about it
[00:14] <zcat[1]> ScheissDroge1: ubuntu keeps changing it though. I should set it immutable perhaps?
[00:14] <alex-weej> maxflax: can you add a new panel and try it?
[00:14] <zcat[1]> btw now using gNewSense and it seems to have exactly the same problem too
[00:15] <alex-weej> maxflax: just context-click the space in a panel and choose New Panel
[00:15] <ScheissDroge1> zcat: ?? no log   /var/log/xorg.conf0.log ?  if you don't configure, ubuntu shouldn't change xorg
[00:15] <zcat[1]> ScheissDroge1: it just locks up HARD a few seconds after login. Nothing gets logged anywhere.
[00:15] <n3hima> zcat[1], have you tried dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[00:15] <zcat[1]> n3hima: duh
[00:16] <ScheissDroge1> zcat:tried xorg from live ?
[00:16] <joejoecircusboy> zcat[1]: just ran a few tests....    one big diff between sudo -i and sudo -s, is that 'sudo -s' does NOT set your environment correctly for root. Instead it assumes the calling user's enviroment.  (This matters if you expect 'cd ~' to go to /root, as it should)
[00:16] <maxflax> OrangeKyo : that only makes it higher not wider..
[00:16] <alex-weej> joejoecircusboy:  "SHOULD" is subjective.
[00:16] <zcat[1]> ScheissDroge1: All I want to know is what smartarse autoconfig shit is turning the 'clone display' feature on, so I can dissable that
[00:16] <maxflax> alex-weej : it might be something with the expand option..
[00:17] <alex-weej> personally I consider root to be a state, not a different user.
[00:17] <joejoecircusboy> alex-weej:  $HOME    *should* match the entry for your uid in /etc/passwd.  Anything else is *idiotic*
[00:17] <zcat[1]> .. because it works prefectly without it, and locks up 100% consistently when it's on and I have a seconds display attched
[00:17] <ScheissDroge1> zcat: your g-card ? which driver ?
[00:17] <n3hima> zcat[1], System > Preferences > Screen Resolution?
[00:17] <alex-weej> joejoecircusboy: then use -idiot, that's fine by me.
[00:17] <zcat[1]> n3hima: yes. I can turn it off. Something keeps turning it back on.
[00:17] <joejoecircusboy> alex-weej: and you use -suckage, fine by me ;)
[00:17] <zcat[1]> ATI rage mobility
[00:18] <n3hima> guys, calm down about sudo, you can almost smell the nerd rage
[00:18] <alex-weej> maxflax: panel applets don't have an expand option
[00:18] <alex-weej> panels on the other hand do
[00:18] <ScheissDroge1> zcat : is there no ati-control-center ?
[00:18] <maxflax> alex-weej - nope.. but the panel have
[00:18] <joejoecircusboy> n3hima: I'm just playing along... As if it matters either way ;)
[00:18] <Spongy> theres a Catalyst Control Center for ATI
[00:18] <alex-weej> maxflax: so with an expanded panel, add the window list
[00:18] <alex-weej> and does it work properly?
[00:19] <ScheissDroge1> zcat : is there no ati-control-center ?  ﻿Spongy: theres a Catalyst Control Center for ATI
[00:19] <zcat[1]> hmm.. using Fre drives, this card has absolutely no 3d support and non-free drivers don't work at all with it
[00:19] <zcat[1]> *free drivers
[00:19] <n3hima> ahh
[00:19] <n3hima> zcat[1], displayconfig-gtk?
[00:19] <Spongy> I think you can get the CCC via Add/Remove Programs, otherwise it should be in Synaptic. (I'm not sure what the question about it is.)
[00:19] <ScheissDroge1> zcat : evr checked ati HP for linux driver ?
[00:20] <MellowYellow> I am having an issue with hibernate on my laptop and could use some assistance figuring out what is going on, anyone available?
[00:20] <zcat[1]> something in Ubuntu keeps turning "clone display' feature on. It doesn't turn that on with the live CD and the display works exactly how I want it to work when the 'clone display 'feature is off.....
[00:20] <Jordan_U> MellowYellow: What problem are you having specifically?
[00:20] <ScheissDroge1> zcat: paste your xorg.conf
[00:20] <zcat[1]> but when I reboot, the fscking 'clone display' is back on and it locks up as soon as I log in again
[00:21] <MellowYellow> Basically instead of hibernating it seems to be blanking the screen, and when I move the mouse it prompts for my password to "unlock" the computer
[00:21] <ScheissDroge1> !paste
[00:21] <maxflax> alex-weej: I got it fixed... removing the panel and then adding it all again fixed it
[00:21] <alex-weej> maxflax: i've a feeling there was some applet on the panel that you couldn't see that was stealing space
[00:21] <alex-weej> maxflax: but if recreating that panel has fixed it, sorted
[00:22] <zcat[1]> What's the package in ubuntu that keeps messing with xorg config? I want to remove that I think
[00:22] <n3hima> xserver-xorg
[00:22] <Jordan_U> zcat[1]: Does the screen flicker a few times before X starts ( might be that it is not starting with your xorg.conf at all then ignoring it )
[00:22] <zcat[1]> http://pastebin.com/f35b7517
[00:23] <Osse> Could someone help me converting a AVI to a 3gp?
[00:23] <OrangeKyo> mellowyellow: sounds like your computer is locking instead of hibernating. does this still happen when you click the red power symbol in the top right and click hibernate?
[00:23] <MellowYellow> yea
[00:23] <zcat[1]> Jordan_U: it starts prefectly. I only have a problem after I log in, then some asshat piese of shit smartarse autoconfig thing turns 'clone display' back on.
[00:23] <zcat[1]> up until I log in, everything works -perfectly-
[00:23] <OrangeKyo> MellowYellow: ok tell me what happens when you click lock computer instead. is it the same thing?
[00:23] <Jordan_U> zcat[1]: Ahh, so it's an xrandr thing
[00:24] <MellowYellow> checking
[00:24] <OrangeKyo> MellowYellow: lockscreen*
[00:24] <n3hima> zcat[1], try completely removing (--purge) xserver-xorg, booting back up and then reinstalling
[00:24] <MellowYellow> OrangeKyo, yep
[00:24] <MellowYellow> same exact thing
[00:24] <Osse> Could someone help me converting a AVI to a 3gp?
[00:24] <OrangeKyo> MellowYellow: hmm tricky...
[00:24] <ScheissDroge1> zcat: your xorg.conf looks very sparse to me, I would first check for a driver from ati as they provide a controlcenter for all that settings
[00:24] <zcat[1]> this is on a brand new install, all I've done is update
[00:24] <Jordan_U> n3hima: zcat[1] I doubt that will do anything since it seems to be a user preference
[00:24] <n3hima> zcat[1], forget what I just said
[00:24] <Faust> sup
[00:24] <n3hima> Jordan_U, yeah I just realised that
[00:24] <MellowYellow> I am going to try running the hibernate.sh file if I time out then maybe it worked
[00:25] <zcat[1]> and the nonfree ati drivers do not do anything with this card
[00:25] <Jordan_U> zcat[1]: Can you try creating a new user and log in with it?
[00:25] <n3hima> sounds like gnome settings daemon or gnome-session
[00:26] <kindofabuzz> i wonder if nvidias drivers will be better than ubuntu's restricted.  or are they the same?
[00:26] <OrangeKyo> MellowYellow: LOL i tried clicking on MY hibernate and my comp crashed =\
[00:27] <zcat[1]> I _am_ a new user, on a new install. I've just installed gNewSense this morning and I have exactly the same problem I had in Ubuntu.
[00:27] <zcat[1]> so it's some xorg autoconfig nonsense
[00:27] <Jordan_U> zcat[1]: It's probably whatever config is controlled by gnome-display-properties
[00:27] <Osse> Could someone help me converting a AVI to a 3gp?
[00:27] <OrangeKyo> MellowYellow: how do you usually hibernate your computer? did you try the sleep button on your keyboard?
[00:27] <Faust> not sure
[00:27] <tritium> !repeat | Osse
[00:27] <darren__> MrKennie: just to say thanks again for your help
[00:27] <n3hima> zcat[1], I think I might get flamed for this, but give kde a try and see if it still does it
[00:28] <Jordan_U> zcat[1]: Try doing an "xint" from the console, you probably won't have a problem until you run "gnome-session"
[00:28] <zcat[1]> xint?
[00:28] <darren__> and to firestart thanks again
[00:28] <Jordan_U> zcat[1]: Sorry, "xinit"
[00:28] <thefool> well that didn't work... the screen just went white when I ran /etc/acpi/hibernate.sh
[00:28] <thefool> and locked up of course
[00:29] <zcat[1]> Umm.. gdm is find .. everything from the BIOS splash to the GDM login screen comes up perfectly on both displays. I only have a problem after I log in
[00:29] <OrangeKyo> thefool: are you mellowyellow o.O
[00:29] <zcat[1]> bloody gnome trying to be too smart
[00:29] <thefool> lol yea, sorry didn't give me my nick back, guess it is still in use
[00:29] <MellowYellow> there we go
[00:29] <OrangeKyo> thefool: lol k
[00:29] <m0u5e> hey, where would we go to recommend new bootsplash ideas for intrepid? :)
[00:29] <colaser> I have some weirdly corrupted files for one of my packages in /var/lib/dpkg/info, and dpkg won't let me install or uninstall anything because of them. python-at-spi.{list,md5sum,postinst,prerm} each have really weird ls listings (like ?--s--x-wT for the mode, nonexistent users and groups with numbers for names, and >2 gigabytes for size). I can't move, overwrite, or delete them, even as root (I get "Operation not permitted"). What should
[00:30] <MellowYellow> so any ideas?
[00:30] <OrangeKyo> ﻿MellowYellow: Here's what i said while you were gone: LOL i tried clicking on MY hibernate and my comp crashed =\
[00:30] <OrangeKyo> MellowYellow: how do you usually hibernate your computer? did you try the sleep button on your keyboard?
[00:30] <usser> Osse, what do you want to convert?
[00:30] <Jordan_U> zcat[1]: "log in" with xinit ( it won't start gnome so there should be no problem ) then try changing the settings by running "gnome-display-properties" ( then again I don't know if that will work without starting the rest of gnome but it's worth a try )
[00:30] <Osse> usser - An AVI.
[00:30] <OrangeKyo> the fool: i meant thefool: not mellowyellow:
[00:30] <Osse> usser - To a 3GP video, sorry.
[00:31] <Python77> Hi everyone, new to linux here
[00:31] <musikgoat> anyone know how to get the peak memory usage from a running script?
[00:31] <Yamakiri> How do I use DISPLAY to control X-server through the console?
[00:31] <MellowYellow> well I only have a power button on the keyboard, but usually I have things set to hibernate when I close the lid. Either that or I hit the power button it prompts me and I choose hibernate
[00:31] <Jordan_U> Yamakiri: export DISPLAY=:0.0
[00:32] <usser> Osse, right do u have any tool that u prefer to use?
[00:32] <Python77> Does anyone know of any good python tutorials or e-books I can start with for a beginner programmer?
[00:32] <MellowYellow> just so you know this is the first time I have tried hibernating in 8.04
[00:32] <usser> Python77, diveintoPython is pretty good introduction
[00:32] <Yamakiri> Jordan_U: root@hemlock:/var/www# export DISPLAY=:0.0 root@hemlock:/var/www# firefox 'www.google.com' No protocol specified Error: cannot open display: :0.0
[00:32] <Osse> usser - I've never converted a video before, so any recommendations will do. I'd prefer an easy one, a GUI would be nice.
[00:33] <Jordan_U> Yamakiri: Why are you logged in as root? NEVER run firefox as root!
[00:33] <usser> Osse, only thing i can suggest is without gui, ffmpeg
[00:33] <Yamakiri> Jordan_U: ok
[00:33] <Python77> diveintopython eh?
[00:33] <musikgoat> Python77: are you familiar with some coding?
[00:33] <Python77> let me look it up here....
[00:33] <Osse> usser - Is there an easy way with that? =)
[00:33] <Python77> I did the first 3 chapters of learning C
[00:33] <usser> Osse, yea its pretty straightforward
[00:33] <Python77> but since i am majoring in web development for college I was told I should focus all my coding into net coding
[00:34] <Yamakiri> oh it works thanks
[00:34] <Python77> starting with python
[00:34] <usser> Python77, python is not exactly net, php is :)
[00:34] <usser> Python77, but thats entirely subjective
[00:34] <Python77> true, but it can be used for net right?
[00:34] <Osse> usser - An easy command?
[00:34] <musikgoat> python can be written into server side apps
[00:34] <n3hima> Yamakiri, how did you get it to work?
[00:35] <MellowYellow> Python77, yea, but so can C
[00:35] <zcat[1]> OK, If I run gnome-display-properties and turn off clone-display and save that and then imediately run it again, 'clone display' as ticked again. wtf?
[00:35] <Python77> ah
[00:35] <Yamakiri> n3hima: getting out of root :p    su andrew
[00:35] <n3hima> zcat[1], hahaha
[00:35] <MellowYellow> OrangeKyo, so hibernate does not work for you either
[00:35] <usser> Osse, do this sudo wget http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/hardy.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list
[00:35] <zcat[1]> this is reeally pissing me off
[00:35] <echelon> how do i update the apt-cache?
[00:35] <OrangeKyo> mellowyellow: it works when i press the crescent moon on my keyboard
[00:35] <usser> Osse, this will add a medibuntu repository from which u'll install ffmpeg
[00:35] <MellowYellow> odd
[00:36] <Osse> usser - I just got ffmpeg installed now =)
[00:36] <usser> Osse, from medibuntu?
[00:36] <usser> Osse, the one in the repositories is crippled
[00:36] <musikgoat> Python77: python is a good language to learn, but you should more look at developing algorithms, no matter what language,  as if you understand algorithms, you can figure out how to code in many languages
[00:36] <zcat[1]> at least before it would stay OFF until I rebooted. Not it comck on right away.es ba
[00:37] <Osse> usser - Oh, okay. Two seconds, I'll follow your directions.
[00:37] <zcat[1]> stupid touchpad
[00:37] <Python77> Could you exploit on that a little more?
[00:37] <MellowYellow> but python is a pretty good language for that in that it is good at getting out of the way and letting you design algorithms. I often use it as pseudo code...
[00:37] <Osse> usser - Did the wget.
[00:37] <MellowYellow> Python77, you mean extrapolate?
[00:37] <usser> Osse, yea but u have to completely reinstall it, cause my method leaves some old packages behind
[00:37] <musikgoat> heh
[00:37] <Osse> usser - Okay, synaptic - remove?
[00:38] <joejoecircusboy> MellowYellow: Can you recommend any good resources on algorithms?
[00:38] <echelon> is ffmpeg-php in the repositories?
[00:38] <Python77> hehe, well I want to become a complete computer geek, I was told the journey to becoming that is to learn computer programming, I am also majoring in web development in college, so wanted to pick languages that I could use and would benefit my major
[00:38] <echelon> anyone?
[00:38] <Osse> usser - Should I remove the current ffmpeg with synaptic or a-g remove?
[00:38] <Jordan_U> zcat[1]: I think I found the config file at least
[00:39] <n3hima> zcat[1], ok, open up gconf-editor and try to find the clone screens option somehere
[00:39] <usser> Osse, sudo apt-get remove libswscale1d libpostproc1d libavutil1d libavformat1d libavcodec1d ffmpeg
[00:39] <MellowYellow> joejoecircusboy, not really, haven't read anything on it in about 10 years
[00:39] <bastid_raZor> !info ffmpeg
[00:39] <Python77> musikgoat could you exploit on algorithms?
[00:39] <Python77> what you meant by that
[00:39] <usser> Python77, yea python can be used for net but its not its primary use
[00:39] <joejoecircusboy> MellowYellow: ah, thanks anyway
[00:39] <Osse> usser - Okay, done.
[00:40] <usser> Osse, nice
[00:40] <Python77> usser, what is nets primary use? Xhtml? php right?
[00:40] <usser> Osse, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install medibuntu-keyring && sudo apt-get update
[00:40] <usser> Python77, php, java
[00:40] <MellowYellow> Python77, well python is pretty easy to pick up, not sure how useful it will be for web development though. PHP on the otherhand would be a good thing to learn, and it should not be too dificult for you as the syntax is quite similar to C... at least at first
[00:40] <Osse> usser - Done.
[00:40] <Jordan_U> zcat[1]: The file seems to be ~/.config/monitors.xml
[00:41] <usser> Osse, sweet now sudo apt-get install ffmpeg
[00:41] <musikgoat> Python77: sorry, afk,  algorithms are how programs work, it is core to programming
[00:41] <echelon> what's phpize?
[00:41] <Osse> usser - Done
[00:41] <usser> Python77, python is awesome for quick and dirty gui programming
[00:41] <Python77> could you all define gui programming?
[00:42] <echelon> can't you take this elsewhere?
[00:42] <Python77> like, can't all programming languages kind of do the same thing?
[00:42] <musikgoat> making a web app that you access from a client browser
[00:42] <usser> Osse, ok do dpkg -l | grep ffmpeg the packages that u removed at first should have this version 3:0.cvs20070307-5ubuntu7.1+medibuntu1
[00:42] <Python77> ok so web application that you can access from client browser
[00:42] <musikgoat> Python77: no
[00:42] <n3hima> Python77, all languages are equal, but some languages are more equal than others
[00:42] <Chousuke> this is offtopic.
[00:42] <Osse> usser - There is a list of that version there, yes.
[00:42] <Chousuke> !offtopic
[00:42] <OrangeKyo> python77: nah i learned that java you can't manage the memory, it sort of just does it on its own without your control
[00:43] <usser> Osse, cool now lets try to convert a file
[00:43] <Osse> usser - Awesome! \o/
[00:43] <Chousuke> OrangeKyo: that's known as garbage collection :)
[00:43] <Python77> hmm... ok let me ask this question, If I want to become a complete computer geek (White-hat hacker) where should I start? what should I start learning? I was told programming
[00:43] <zcat[1]> zcat@mbeki:~$ sudo chattr -i .gnome2/monitors.xml   --- Wonder if that'll stop it?
[00:43] <zcat[1]> brb
[00:43] <usser> Osse,  ffmpeg -i filename.avi -vcodec h263 -vb 600000 -ar 8000 -ac 1 test.3gp
[00:43] <Chousuke> Python77: just have an interest in all things computer'y
[00:44] <usser> Osse, -i filename.avi specifies the input file u want to convert
[00:44] <Chousuke> Python77: electronics works too
[00:44] <MellowYellow> Python77, but programming is the start of serious computer geekery
[00:44] <Chousuke> Python77: programming is a good skill for a hacker, though.
[00:44] <Chousuke> Python77: start with lisp!
[00:44] <chetnick> guys, which program for burning you would recomend?
[00:44] <Python77> Chousuke, I just feel like I am not being productive with my time, not really feeling like I understand everything
[00:44] <OrangeKyo> python77 you should learn how to use the terminal and program in c++. try downloading a c++ book
[00:44] <Python77> what is lisp?
[00:44] <musikgoat> there is too many different directions to go,  but most tend to go towards programming and hardware modding
[00:44] <MellowYellow> Chousuke, I did!
[00:44] <usser> Osse, -vcodec h263 specifies the codec of the output file, 3gp uses h263
[00:44] <Python77> hardware modding?
[00:44] <Chousuke> OrangeKyo: no, not C++ :((((
[00:44] <musikgoat> Chousuke: thats mean!
[00:44] <MellowYellow> the greatest language made by man
[00:45] <Osse> usser - "Error while opening codec for output stream #0.0 - maybe incorrect parameters such as bit_rate, rate, width or height"
[00:45] <usser> Osse, -vb 600000 specifies video bitrate in this case 600Kbps
[00:45] <Chousuke> C++ is an awful language to start with
[00:45] <joejoecircusboy> Python77: You'll want to be familiar with operating systems, programming languages, and networking. You'll want to learn and experience multiple variants of each domain
[00:45] <MellowYellow> lisp is beauty incarnate
[00:45] <Python77> I know that linux kernel was programed with C
[00:45] <Chousuke> yes.
[00:45] <chetnick> Python77, lisp is programming language, usually used for artificial inteligence
[00:45] <usser> Osse, whats the line right before that?
[00:45] <Python77> whow AI?
[00:45] <Chousuke> lisp is a family of languages, actually.
[00:45] <Chousuke> as well as being a language
[00:45] <Python77> so should I learn python first or lisp?
[00:45] <Osse> usser - "Valid sizes are 128x96, 176x144, 352x288, 704x576, and 1408x1152. Try H.263+."
[00:45] <n3hima> >>> #ubuntu-offtopic
[00:46] <Jordan_U> zcat[1]: Can you pastebin your ~/.config/monitors.xml ?
[00:46] <Chousuke> Python77: whatever you like :)
[00:46] <Osse> Should i try "+"?
[00:46] <Python77> And does anyone have any good links to learning how to use terminal?
[00:46] <KenBW2> why is Ubuntu telling me i can use Restricted ATI graphics drivers when I'm managing fine OOTB?
[00:46] <Chousuke> Python77: those are good choices though.
[00:46] <MellowYellow> http://mitpress.mit.edu/sicp/full-text/book/book.html is how I learned lisp, great book
[00:46] <usser> Osse, oh ok seems h263 is picky about the resolution
[00:46] <chetnick> guys, which program for burning you would recommend?
[00:46] <Chousuke> Python77: start with MellowYellow's URL
[00:46] <musikgoat> Python77: it depends what you want to do,  you originally said web development -> therefore learn server side scripting languages, like php, jsp, and asp
[00:46] <Chousuke> Python77: SICP is *the* book on programming
[00:46] <MellowYellow> http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/cli.html
[00:47] <Chousuke> Python77: it's not *easy*, but it's good :)
[00:47] <MellowYellow> bah, I read it in high school
[00:47] <musikgoat> Python77: and javascript+html+css
[00:47] <n3hima> !offtopic | Python77
[00:47] <usser> Osse, modify your command to look like this ffmpeg -i filename.avi -vcodec h263 -s 352x288 -vb 600000 -ar 8000 -ac 1 test.3gp
[00:47] <joker> can some one tell me the easy way to upgrade bluez to the Bluez4.3
[00:47] <MellowYellow> of course it was a slightly older version...
[00:47] <Chousuke> MellowYellow: SICP is still not easy, you're just smart.
[00:47] <chetnick> Python77, you should start with some basics first, try "Computer Science Illuminate" its a good introduction
[00:47] <usser> Osse, note -s 352x288 that specifies the output video resolution
[00:47] <ErikWestrup> Would this be a correct crontab entry if I want to run a command every 45 minute? http://paste.ubuntu.com/44042/
[00:48] <Python77> sorry obottu
[00:48] <krunchyfrog> hi there
[00:48] <Chousuke> MellowYellow: of course, I'm not saying it's exactly difficult either; It just requires effort :)
[00:48] <Python77> computer science illuminate?
[00:48] <Chousuke> anyway, time for me to sleep
[00:48] <Osse> usser - I get alot of "[h263 @ 0xb7e1a9a8]warning, clipping 1 dct coefficients to -127..127"
[00:48] <musikgoat> illuminated i think
[00:48] <MU> Oww
[00:48] <Python77> thanks for info
[00:48] <MellowYellow> Chousuke, lol, actually the first chapter gave me headaches. I could not figure out why any human being woul design a language that does math like lisp
[00:48] <MU> Alguem ai
[00:48] <usser> Osse, thats normal
[00:48] <MU> me ajuda
[00:49] <MU> sou portugues
[00:49] <Chousuke> MellowYellow: oh you didn't like prefix notation? :p
[00:49] <MU> Alguem ai
[00:49] <MU> me ajuda
[00:49] <Osse> usser - Well, It looks like it is working, thanks alot! =)
[00:49] <spiritssight> how can I see the available wireless networks
[00:49] <MU> sou portugues
[00:49] <n3hima> !po | MU
[00:49] <MellowYellow> I love it now but...
[00:49] <n3hima> shit what's portuguese?
[00:49] <n3hima> !pt | MU

[00:50] <MU> !pt
[00:50] <echelon> HEY! who took phpize out of the php package??
[00:50] <zcat[1]> well bugger me, making the display.xml immutable WORKED.
[00:50] <MU> #ubuntu-br
[00:50] <Chousuke> MellowYellow: well people always have problems accepting *different* things :)
[00:50] <echelon> that's why i never install ubuntu on my own PCs
[00:50] <MellowYellow> echelon, what!?!? when did they do that?
[00:50] <n3hima> MU, /join #ubuntu-br
[00:50] <echelon> MellowYellow: what?
[00:51] <spiritssight> Does any one know what I need to do to see the different networks (wireless)
[00:51] <zcat[1]> but I'd really rather find out what piece of shit is changing my settings to 'clone display' every login!
[00:51] <zcat[1]> s/changing/tryingtochange/
[00:51] <MellowYellow> take phpize out?
[00:51] <krunchyfrog> I think I pooped my xserver installation.  I was trying to install frets on fire but it kept crashing so I thought it was my opengl that was wrong so I tried to fix it but now my xconfig doesn't even want to take the proprietary nvidia driver correctly.  Every bootup I get prompted by a dialog box saying my config is not ok but whatever I do in there doesn't fix anything
[00:51] <tritium> zcat[1]: watch the language, please
[00:51] <usser> Osse, np mgiht also add -ab 64000
[00:52] <Osse> usser - What does that do?
[00:52] <zcat[1]> so, anybody know what part of gnome is automatically detecting the second monitor and overriding the setting I explicitly set?
[00:52] <usser> Osse, sets the bitrate of audio stream to 64kbps
[00:52] <zcat[1]> tritium: sorry; very very annoyed here
[00:52] <Osse> Thanks usser.
[00:52] <KenBW2> for me to view php files will sudo apt-get install php5 install apache et al for me?
[00:52] <krunchyfrog> I just want to re create my xorg.conf that was working fine on my card's s-video out to my tv (since my tv is my main display)
[00:53] <MellowYellow> zcat[1], do you have twinview or xinearama installed?
[00:53] <usser> Osse, no problem
[00:54] <Kattollikisd> I have problems with a plugging in my amsn called "transparent", can someone help me pleaces?
[00:54] <Jordan_U> zcat[1]: Can you pastebin your ~/.config/monitors.xml ?
[00:54] <evsthomas> can anyone here assist me in signing the code of conduct? I've gotten all the way to the Signed Code section but it says "The signed text does not match the Code of Conduct. Make sure that you signed the correct text (white space differences are acceptable).
[00:54] <zcat[1]> MellowYellow: not intentionally. This is a brand new gNewSense install, only free drivers, and updates. And it's doing exactly the same thing as Ubuntu was; everything works perfectly on both displays right up until I log in. xorg thinks it only has one display, the ATI card handles both outputs....
[00:55] <MellowYellow> krunchyfrog, boot without a gui and reconfigure  xorg using xorgcfg
[00:55] <Kattollikisd> I have problems with a plugging in my amsn called "transparent", can someone help me pleaces?
[00:55] <krunchyfrog> aha!  thanks MellowYellow
[00:55] <zcat[1]> .. after I log in 'something' detects the second monitor and turns on 'clone display' which makes the whole laptop freeze totally and I have to power cycle it
[00:55] <Windsurfer619> ﻿My sister installed skype a week agoish, and she just noticed that it takes ages to boot (more than 4 minutes, where it was less than a minute before) as it is just hanging on a black screen. Any idea why or how to fix?
[00:55] <zcat[1]> All I want it to know what's cahnging that setting so I can dissable it
[00:55] <MellowYellow> zcat[1], ick
[00:56] <zcat[1]> right now I have the monitor.xml set immutable and it's working exactly how I want. But that's not a real solution, it's an ugly hack
[00:56] <ozkelligirl> hi all
[00:56] <MellowYellow> zcat[1], lol
[00:56] <evsthomas> What constitutes a signature on the Code of Conduct?
[00:56] <wersdaluv> !paste
[00:56] <echelon> what package contains the ffmpeg headers?
[00:57] <echelon> ffmpeg-dev?
[00:57] <jgedeon> I'm normally a gnome user but thought I would give Kubuntu a try on another system...  Should I do Kde4 or not?
[00:57] <zcat[1]> perhaps I should just file a bug?
[00:57] <Kattollikisd> I have problems with a plugging in my amsn called "transparent", can someone help me pleaces?
[00:57] <n3hima> zcat[1], it's a hack, but every system is a bit ugly
[00:57] <krunchyfrog> is there some kind of xorg.conf generator on the net?
[00:57] <Kattollikisd> I have problems with a plugging in my amsn called "transparent", can someone help me pleaces?
[00:57] <zcat[1]> I should not have to set config files immutable. Gnome should NOT be overriding my settings on a whim!
[00:57] <wersdaluv> I'm trying to connect computers connected to a common netgear router via ssh. how do I know each comp
[00:58] <n3hima> I totally agree
[00:58] <Digit4l> Hello
[00:58] <ozkelligirl> ubottu what is the best place to get 3D fx for ubuntu ?
[00:58] <MellowYellow> zcat[1], I would do kde4 and then file a bug, it would be good to be able to "prove" that gnome is doing the modifying. Otherwise you really don't know where to file the bug to.
[00:58] <alicev> how can i md5 unhash
[00:58] <Digit4l> It's there any program to manage rapidshare links ???
[00:58] <MellowYellow> alicev, huh?
[00:58] <jrib> alicev: doesn't make sense
[00:58] <zcat[1]> MellowYellow: every time I run gnome-display-settings it turns it back on, even after I explicitly turn it off.
[00:59] <alicev> ok
[00:59] <echelon> WHERE ARE the ffmpeg HEADERS?
[00:59] <jrib> Digit4l: not a public one, no
[00:59] <Digit4l> ouch
[00:59] <Digit4l> thanks
[00:59] <zcat[1]> going to file a bug now.
[00:59] <Kattollikisd> I can I put a transparent background on the Nautilus?
[01:00] <MellowYellow> ooh there we go... ok can you run gnome-display-settings from terminal with verbose output? Maybe you can figure out what it calls that way
[01:00] <IndyGunFreak> Kattollikisd: of course
[01:00] <spiritssight> HELP, I am trying to see wireless networks please help
  how?
[01:00] <poroto> Hi i need help, installed a theme,  but i want the bar transparent, and when i put the transparence, the side of applications, system and the clock area , stays the same! thenks
[01:00] <n3hima> spiritssight, what's the problem?
[01:00] <echelon> maybe ubuntu should quit marketing their product to businesses so real admins don't have to deal with its poor package maintenance
[01:00] <evsthomas> I realize this is trivial for everyone but I can't figure out the signing process... is there another chat for this?
[01:00] <zcat[1]> gnome-display-settings has no manpage and no --help or -h option. suggestions?
[01:00] <Jordan_U> spiritssight: What wireless chipset?
[01:01] <Kattollikisd> how?
[01:01] <spiritssight> echelon: I can not seem to get it to show the networks in the area for wireless
[01:01] <poroto> please
[01:01] <MellowYellow> spiritssight, that was the lamest way to ask for help I have seen in a while
[01:01] <teqsupport> HELP... I'd really love to get the 3d desktop working on Gos
[01:01] <Kattollikisd> ?
[01:01] <Jordan_U> zcat[1]: No idea, I had to strace the damn thing just to figure out that it was writing to monitors.xml :)
[01:01] <MellowYellow> spiritssight, try formulating a coherent question rather than just saying help
[01:01] <jrib> Digit4l: if you have an account, you can setup wget to automatically login I believe
[01:01] <zcat[1]> sorry, gnome-display-properties
[01:01] <echelon> spiritssight: gee, i really wanted to know
[01:01] <echelon>  
[01:01] <echelon>  
[01:02] <MellowYellow> zcat[1], hmm -v is standard...
[01:02] <poroto> help
[01:02] <Kattollikisd> how
[01:02] <kindofabuzz> i installed nvidia's drivers, now all i have is 800x600 help! =)
[01:02] <spiritssight> echelon, I answered
[01:02] <IndyGunFreak> Kattollikisd: oi know it can be done, but now i can't remember how..lol
[01:02] <jrib> !fixres > kindofabuzz
[01:02] <zcat[1]> -v doesn't work. nor -V or --help or -h or --gnome-developers-are-retarded-monkey-spankers
[01:02] <usser> Osse, what resolution do u need 3gp files in? is it fixed? is it for ipod or something?
[01:02] <echelon> you guys are useless
  ohhh ok
[01:03] <evsthomas> can anyone see my text? this can't be this difficult... its the very first step...
[01:03] <zcat[1]> it doesn't seem to accept any options at all
  thanks anyway
[01:03] <spiritssight> echelon:  can you pm me so I can see what your questions are easer thanks
[01:03] <Osse> usser - I don't really know, was just going to find that out =)
[01:03] <poroto> Hi i need help, installed a theme,  but i want the bar transparent, and when i put the transparence, the side of applications, system and the clock area , stays the same! thenks
[01:03] <droopsta915> whats the best linux program to make and record music in a studio?
[01:03] <ozkelligirl> anyone know of a good 3D setup for ubuntu and where to get it?
[01:04] <zcat[1]> bah, going to go calm down for a while, I can't file a bug report when I'm thips issed off.
[01:04] <usser> Osse, cause i was just writing a gui tool for almost the same purposes, it is for my video player. i can adjust it to your causes
[01:04] <Osse> usser - I just know that it is a 3 inch screen.
[01:04] <Osse> usser - Sounds awesome :O
[01:04] <MellowYellow> ozkelligirl, what do you mean by 3d? You want things popping out at you? you want a spiffy rotating cube? You want a 3d world you can walk around in?
[01:05] <droopsta915> lol mellowyellow :)
[01:05] <usser> Osse, just find out resolution and i can give it to u
[01:05] <Osse> usser - PM'd a link.
[01:05] <Osse> Okay =)
[01:05] <ozkelligirl> yes that sounds good
[01:05] <MellowYellow> droopsta915, as far as studio recording I have no idea, all I have ever used was audacit
[01:05] <Kattollikisd> Can someone tell me how to put a transparent background in the nautilus pleases? :S
[01:06] <stepa1> My Computer wasn't operating and I shut it off with the button.  Now when i turn it one, i get NTLDR is missing error.  Do I need to reinstall grub?  (I only have a Ubuntu installation, no windows, but i do have an NTFS formated drive)
[01:06] <MellowYellow> s/audacit/audacity/
[01:06] <droopsta915> anyone ever try rosegarden to make music?
[01:07] <Kattollikisd> Can someone tell me how to put a transparent background in the nautilus pleases? :S
[01:07] <Osse> usser - Is there some program that can list me the needed info about video files? Dimensions, codecs and such?
[01:07] <droopsta915> mellowyellow: thanks, use audacity,  i like that program
[01:08] <ASrock> i am getting a new wireless router and wireless pci card for my desktop what do you guys recommend?
[01:08] <usser> Osse, if u have any video files encoded to play on this device u can use vlc to obtain that info
[01:08] <Osse> usser - Okay, how exactly?
[01:09] <Jordan_U> ASrock: Wireless G or pre-N ?
[01:09] <ozkelligirl> mellow i'm new to this how do i get that?
[01:09] <christoz> Is Ubuntu safe from virus-spyware threads?
[01:09] <Jordan_U> christoz: Yes
[01:09] <ASrock> right now im using wireless G but is there such a thing as a wireless N router that laptops with G cards could still connect to?
[01:09] <christoz> Jordan_U ok agree, but why?
[01:09] <christoz> :D
[01:09] <usser> Osse, open the file with vlc go to view->Stream and media info
[01:10] <Osse> usser - Okay, two secs.
[01:10] <usser> Osse, advanced information
[01:10] <Kattollikisd> Can someone tell me how to put a transparent background in the nautilus pleases? :S
[01:10] <MellowYellow> ASrock, all wireless N routers are backwards compatible
[01:10] <Jordan_U> !virus | christoz
[01:10] <ASrock> sweet
[01:10] <christoz> :D
[01:10] <ASrock> and what are the advantages of N
[01:11] <Osse> usser - 320x240
[01:11] <n3hima> ASrock, faster, better range
[01:11] <MellowYellow> ozkelligirl, did you seriously just say "yes that sounds good?" I give you a list as examples for clarification purposes and your answer is YES!?
[01:11] <ASrock> how much better range?
[01:11] <usser> Osse, cool and u sure its 3gp not divx cause i see in the specs it plays divx
[01:12] <MellowYellow> well lets put it this way I have a better connection to my neighbors N router than I do to my G router 5 feet away from me
[01:12] <Osse> usser - Yeah, I tried adding a regular .avi, I don't think it'll play that..
[01:12] <ozkelligirl> yes
[01:12] <usser> Osse, did it have any sample video files on it?
[01:13]  * MellowYellow slaps ozkelligirl with a large trout
[01:13] <usser> Osse, were they 3gp?
[01:13] <linxeh> MellowYellow: try a different channel ?
[01:13] <Osse> usser - No sample vid's as far as I know.
[01:13] <ozkelligirl> not nice
[01:13] <MellowYellow> linxeh, ?
[01:13] <blakeX> is empathy going to replace pidgin for 8.04?
[01:13] <linxeh> MellowYellow: there are 11 channels
[01:13] <blakeX> i hope so, pidgin is really pissing me off
[01:14] <LrdMtrod> Is there an easy way to do a netboot installation of newest Ubuntu? Cause my CD-drive in my laptop just doesn't want to read correctly except in very rare moments.
[01:14] <linxeh> MellowYellow: maybe you are on a channel that is already crappy (assuming you are complaining about bad speeds to your router)
[01:14] <blakeX> they call me mellow yellow
[01:14] <MellowYellow> linxeh, ah, wasn't sure what you were referring to.
[01:14] <Jordan_U> !install | LrdMtrod
[01:14] <blakeX> im looking forward to empathy replacing pidgin :-)
[01:14] <Kattollikisd> Can someone tell me how to put a transparent background in the nautilus pleases? :S
[01:15] <MellowYellow> blakeX, whats the difference?
[01:15] <linxeh> blakeX: empathy looks quite nice
[01:15] <w0lt> Can anyone explain to me why it is when I ping an address 216.161.026.122, it resolves to 216.161.022.122  ??
[01:15] <blakeX> the difference is pidgin has refused to make their product better for years
[01:15] <linxeh> MellowYellow: pidgin is awful :/
[01:15] <IndyGunFreak> Kattollikisd: maybe you can't,i thought you could.
[01:15] <MellowYellow> well that sure is a difference, I figured it had more features or something. I gave up on it looking nice
[01:15] <IndyGunFreak> someone prolly woulda responded by now if you could.
[01:15] <blakeX> i honestly hope that when empathy replaces pidgin, pidgin will try and compete
[01:16] <linxeh> the pidgin guys do some really cool stuff with the protocol handling and libraries but their gui skills live a lot to be desired
[01:16] <usser> Osse, ok lets try 3gp then
[01:16] <Osse> Sounds good usser =)
[01:16] <MellowYellow> gah, gtg
[01:16] <blakeX> linxeh: i like the way pidgin looks, that's not the problem
[01:16] <blakeX> heh
[01:16] <linxeh> Adium on OSX is a good IM client built on the pidgin libraries
[01:16] <linxeh> blakeX: its not how it looks, its how it works. GUI design isnt about looks, it is about ergonomics and aesthetics just as much as anything else
[01:16] <ozkelligirl> ok so what is the best graphic package then?
[01:17] <blakeX> im in pidgin trying to rub it into the developers faces, i have been warning them for some time now
[01:17] <shey> ^5 Ubuntunians.
[01:17] <blakeX> #pidgin that is, haha
[01:17] <linxeh> ozkelligirl: photoshop
[01:17] <linxeh> ozkelligirl: and lightroom
[01:18] <linxeh> ozkelligirl: YMMV
[01:18] <Osse> usser - Will there be a public release of this? =)
[01:18] <wers> i want to connect two computers via ssh. how do I know the ip of each computer? this is my ifconfig in this computer http://paste.ubuntu.com/44050/ . both are running ubuntu hardy
[01:18] <ozkelligirl> sorry 3D package?
[01:18] <linxeh> ozkelligirl: 3dsmax ?
[01:19] <blakeX> lol this nigga
[01:19] <blakeX> damn yo!
[01:19] <shey> wers: wlan0
[01:19] <n3hima> wers, do you have physical access to the other box?
[01:19] <ozkelligirl> how do i load it?
 what?
[01:19] <linxeh> ozkelligirl: you buy it.
[01:19] <wers> shey, which one there?
[01:19] <wers> n3hima, yep
[01:19] <ozkelligirl> ok
[01:19] <linxeh> ozkelligirl: there is blender that is opensource
[01:19] <shey> wers: 192.168.1.2 is that system.
[01:19] <jgedeon> wers, does your router show who it hands addresses to?  Can look there..  Or look for the IP address on the other computer unless you can resolve with name.
[01:19] <poroto> Hi, why awn does not work?
[01:19] <n3hima> wers, check the ip of the other box by running ifconfig
[01:19] <linxeh> might not be what you want though
[01:19] <usser> Osse, hehe, sure... here save this as converter.py http://pastebin.com/m42d9a585
[01:19] <merther> is there a better network scanning program then pyNeighborhood?
[01:19] <linxeh> ozkelligirl: http://www.blender.org/features-gallery/
[01:19] <shey> wers: look at the inet addr: line.
[01:19] <ozkelligirl> how do i get it?
[01:19] <IndyGunFreak> Kattollikisd: making nautilus transparent
[01:20] <n3hima> wers, then you have your ip
[01:20] <Kattollikisd> a background transparent
[01:20] <LjL> blakeX, retune the language and attitude please...
 a background transparent
[01:20] <linxeh> ozkelligirl: maybe apt-get install blender? dunno, I dont use it
[01:20] <blakeX> LjL: nigger, nigger, nigger!
[01:20] <Osse> usser - Saved.
[01:20] <ozkelligirl> i'll look now thanks
[01:21] <shey> bless you LjL
[01:21] <IndyGunFreak> Kattollikisd: weren't you wondering how to make nautilus have a transparent background?
[01:22] <usser> Osse, nice one more thing u need to do is sudo apt-get install python python-wxtool
[01:22] <stuff_happens> is this the room to go to if I need help with getting my broadcom wireless working?
[01:22] <Osse> usser - couldn't find package.
[01:22] <LjL> stuff_happens: if that's while using Ubuntu, yes
[01:22] <shey> stuff_happens: do you have the restricted driver working?
[01:22] <stuff_happens> is Xubuntu ok?
[01:22] <shey> ... aaand what LjL said.
[01:22] <spiritssight> echelon: Just in case you did not get my msg, I said I was having trouble viewing wireless networks that are in the area, I also asked if you could pm me as there is to much traffic here that I will most likly miss your msgs
 yea... for example... I open the Home And I see theres folders i the background is transparent... that's what I want to do... you know how? :S
[01:23] <IndyGunFreak> stuff_happens: its not bad.. but not really that much "lighter" than gnome if you ask me
[01:23] <usser> Osse, sudo apt-get install python-wxtools
[01:23] <LjL> stuff_happens: sure, although there is a #xubuntu channel too (but i do not believe - although i know nothing about wireless cards - there's very many difference when configuring that)
[01:23] <usser> Osse, ?
[01:23] <IndyGunFreak> Kattollikisd: i know, and that what i'm saying, i don't think its possible, i thought it was;
[01:23] <wers> shey and n3hima . i tried browsing this computer's contents by opening "ssh://192.168.1.2" using the other computer but it nautilus (on the other computer) said that it can't be displayed because the host cant be found. any idea why?
[01:23] <Osse> usser - Yep, sorry. Misspelled it.
[01:23] <favro> Kattollikisd: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=607140
[01:24] <n3hima> wers, no
[01:24] <shey> wers: ermm.. 1.2 is the PC you are on.
[01:24] <jrib> Kattollikisd, IndyGunFreak: there once existed patches but I don't know if they were ever included.  Best bet is probably to find the bug on gnome's tracker and see what happened
[01:24] <stuff_happens> I was using b43  but its suuuper slow and very weak signal. I tried using the actualy broadcom drivers using various tutorials on ubuntuforums and it works, it detects the networks but I need to restart networking to connect to unprotected ones otherwise whole comp freezes. Once I do I can connect and use internet as long as its an unprotected access point.
[01:24] <shey> wers: do you have physical access to the other PC?
[01:24] <Osse> usser - Okay, now?
[01:25] <stuff_happens> If I try to connect to WPA type it freezes system and have to as usual force a power down
[01:25] <wers> shey, yep
[01:25] <usser> Osse, now chmod a+x converter.py
[01:25] <shey> stuff_happens: I am having troubles with the Broadcom drivers as well, and to be honest I havent had the time to tweak out the issue yet.
[01:25] <usser> Osse, and u should be able to double click on it and run
[01:25] <shey> wers: sudo ifconfig on that pc.
[01:26] <Osse> usser - Nothing happens?
[01:26] <usser> Osse, open terminal and try python filename_u_saved_as.py
[01:26] <wersdaluv> shey, this is wers on the other computer. here it is  http://paste.ubuntu.com/44043/
[01:27] <Osse> Thanks usser =)
[01:27] <Mc_abyss> tree
[01:27] <Mc_abyss> sorry wrong window lol
[01:27] <usser> Osse, it works? double clicking should work as well
[01:27] <shey> wersdaluv: that address is 192.168.1.5.
[01:27] <shey> wersdaluv: well call that one PC2
[01:28] <baloogan> Hey all! I'm trying to access a usb hd mounted on a computer I call truthsayer though nfs
[01:28] <baloogan> and it isn't working!!
[01:28] <baloogan> :)
[01:28] <stuff_happens> would it be possible for me to try the same thing but with no desktop just pure commandline and see if it still freezes anything. I am starting to think it's the network manager that is causing the freezes since onlt after I restart it can I safely connect to unprotected networks without it freezing
[01:28] <Osse> usser - Works, trying to convert a file as we speak =)
[01:28] <Eli2__> how can i hide partitions used in a software raid from places->removable media ?
[01:28] <shey> wersdaluv: from PC2 in console, type ping -c3 192.168.1.2
[01:28] <wersdaluv> uhum. shey, i want to transfer files from pc 2 to pc 1. how do I do that? they both have openssh now
[01:28] <wersdaluv> okay shey
[01:29] <shey> wersdaluv: see if you get a responce.
[01:29] <DarkShadow791> anyone have any tips for a novice linux user to start expanding his linux knowledge? like learning commands and stuff like that
[01:29] <Osse> usser - Doesn't work to double click.
 <IndyGunFreak> <jrib> I Have to use Compiz so then I can put a transparent background in nautilus. so that s why I can't see my transparent amsn either, I don't have a great grafic card in my PC, can I use the compiz anyway?

[01:31] <Osse> usser - Doesn't really matter, I've made an alias, I run and handle most things through the terminal anyways.
[01:31] <evsthomas> Anybody?? this is like the first hurdle out of the gate.
[01:31] <floppyears> hi guys
[01:31] <aitd> DarkShadow791: also read the man pages or info pages
[01:31] <shey> wersdaluv: are they on the same network?
[01:31] <floppyears> is there a command that I can issue to figure out the type of dvd burner that my ubuntu machine has ?
[01:31] <stepa1> I shut off my computer with the button, and now I can't boot into it.  I think i might need to reinstall grub. Help
[01:31] <favro> !compiz > Kattollikisd

[01:33] <stepa1> ScheissDroge1: I get an "NTLDR is missing" error, but thats only because i have another NTFS drive connected.
[01:33] <stepa1> ScheissDroge1: I do not have another OS on the compt
[01:33] <shey> goto pc1 and type in ping -c3 192.168.1.5
[01:33] <Osse> usser - Well, thanks for the help, appriciate it alot! I'll be glad to help you out testing your software, just can't right now, abit late. Gotta go.
[01:33] <Osse> usser - Let me know if you need any help. Cheers.
[01:33] <ScheissDroge1> stepa1: why do you use grub for a win machine ?
[01:34] <ePax> stepa1: What did you do before you got NTLDR missing?
[01:34] <usser> Osse, np, just as long as it works for u im happy
[01:34] <Osse> Cheers mate =)
[01:34] <stepa1> ScheissDroge1: I have Ubuntu installed, but another drive is just formated as NTFS
[01:34] <ScheissDroge1> !grub > stepa1
[01:34] <stepa1> ePax: The computer worked fine.  But when is just froze all the windows, i shut if off with the power button and thats when this happened
[01:35] <ePax> stepa1: What OS's do you use?
[01:35] <stepa1> ePax: only Ubuntu
[01:35] <merther> is there a better network browser then pyNeighborhood?
[01:35] <ScheissDroge1> stepa1: cold shut off, could also try repair option from livecd, e2fsck or supergrubdisk
[01:35] <adante> does anybody know where i can get a copy of the .config used to bulid the ubuntu 8.04 kernel? the one in /boot does not seem to correspond to it
[01:36] <stepa1> ScheissDroge1: when I do the second command, i get find /boot/grub/stage1
[01:36] <ePax> stepa1: Use your ubuntu cd end rewrite/reinstall grub and it should be ok.
[01:36] <sander> is there a way to capture a video from a webcam in msn??? an program like hycam2 for windows?
[01:36] <stepa1> ScheissDroge1: woops, i mean, Error 15: file not found
[01:36] <ScheissDroge1> stepa1:second cmd?
[01:37] <stepa1> ScheissDroge1: "find /boot/grub/stage1"

[01:37] <evsthomas> what does it make available
[01:37] <sander> some know about a program that capture video from the webcam in msn?
[01:38] <ScheissDroge1> stepa1:most probably you crashed the filesystem by that power of, got a live-cd handy ?
[01:38] <stepa1> ScheissDroge1: Do you think super grub disk would work better?
[01:38] <wers> shey, maybe, its a firewall issue. how do i disable it?
[01:38] <sander> i try xvidcap but this only record the desktop and mouse movements, not a active video from webcam... some know how to do this?
[01:38] <stepa1> ScheissDroge1: I'm using one right now
[01:38] <shey> wers: did you install a firewall? Ubuntu does not come default with a firewall.
[01:38] <ScheissDroge1> stepa1:sg-disk has more options, but also searches for those files
[01:39] <wers> shey,  nope but i saw something from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto
[01:39] <stickboy> !pastebin
[01:39] <shey> yeah well...
[01:39] <wers> maybe, it's the router that has firewall
[01:39] <sander> please, i need a program that capture webcam imagens from msn
[01:39] <ScheissDroge1> stepa1:make shure hd isnt mounted first, run e2fsck
[01:39] <shey> wers: which router do you have?
[01:39] <shey> wers: but even still, routers dont usually block internal traffic.
[01:40] <rzec> what would be consider a high server load on a install of a none gui linux(for a web server).  I was told that it should be below 2 but my new hosting provider tells me not to worry unless is goe above 30 which seems really really high from what i have been told, that that guy right that i should not worry until it is above 30?
[01:40] <wers> shey, netgear wgr614 v7
[01:40] <stepa1> ScheissDroge1: I've never done that before, do i do automatic repair when i type in e2fsck
[01:40] <ScheissDroge1> stepa1:open a terminal
[01:41] <ePax> sander: For ubuntu?
[01:41] <aitd> sander: http://johnbokma.com/messenger/capturingwebcam.html google works well
[01:41] <shey> wers: ughh, netgear. But even still like I said, routers do not usually block internal traffic.
[01:41] <sander> ePax: yes

[01:42] <shey> cat 5 == ethernet, wired connection
[01:42] <Rakeer> what is the correct pkg name for JRE2 v5/v6?
[01:42] <aitd> sander: I thought your first message asked about something that would work in a windows environment
[01:43] <Rakeer> needed for compiling

[01:44] <jgedeon> wers can ping the other system.
[01:44] <wers> jgedeon, does that mean that it doesnt have a firewall?
[01:45] <ePax> sander: trry instanbul as well. sudo apt-get install istanbul
[01:45] <Mc_abyss> sander if your using amsn it should auto log the webcam chat havent tried it myself tho
[01:45] <jgedeon> wers that is showing that you do have IPtables running.  But no settings so it is like there is no firewall.

[01:49] <jgedeon> shey, they are both on same subnet..  Given from the same router.
[01:49] <aitd> sander: Seem to have lost the link I had in mind, however Ubuntu package manager has "Cheese" and "camstream". I have not installed them but was looking at the packages some months back for a project I was considering

[01:55] <werspc2> jgedeon, done
[01:56] <jgedeon> If the router is the only system handing out DHCP he will be on same subnet...  He didn't set static Address did he?
[01:56] <stepa1> ScheissDroge1:  no unfortunatly the two drives that i have are identical and its not USB
[01:56] <ScheissDroge1> stepa1 : anyway, then reboot into bios setup and check if they both show up there

[02:15] <vbman11> does anyone know of a SMART board notebook like application

[02:16] <Drk_Guy> !ask | Arnell

[02:16]  * Pelo takes away Drk_Guy 's bot priviledges
[02:16] <vbman11> Drk_Guy: no the the Notebook software for the SMART Board
[02:16]  * Drk_Guy asks: Why?! :(
[02:16] <jgedeon> wers, did you do that cp command yet?
[02:16] <Drk_Guy> vbman11, :)
[02:16] <Drk_Guy> :(
[02:16] <Drk_Guy> No luck
[02:17] <Arnell> sorry, Trying to install ubuntu but install stops at command line (INITRAMFS) What's goiing on?
[02:17] <vbman11> Drk_Guy: well thanks anyways
[02:17] <Drk_Guy> Arnell, Have you tried testing your RAM?
[02:17] <Drk_Guy> vbman11, np
[02:17] <Arnell> not yet
[02:17] <Drk_Guy> Arnell, That's not usual
[02:18] <Drk_Guy> Arnell, take the time to do it
[02:18] <Arnell> is that done at the install screen options?
[02:18] <rezasalami> i need to install lammps http://lammps.sandia.gov/
[02:18] <rezasalami> can help me?
[02:18] <jgedeon> Arnell it looks like busybox
[02:18] <Drk_Guy> Arnell, the cd asks you whether you want to install or check the cd/ram
[02:18] <Arnell> yes... that's it. it stops there all the time
[02:18] <Pelo> try booting the live cd with the noacpi option ,  just hit  f6 from the boot menu and then add acpi=no to the end of the line , or maybe it's acpi=off,   check in the forum
[02:18] <wers> jgedeon, what cp command? to erase? nope
[02:19] <Drk_Guy> !memtest | Arnell
[02:19] <Drk_Guy> !memtest86 | Arnell
[02:19] <jgedeon> wers, cp is copy
[02:19] <sdls> ScheissDroge1: lol, I figured it out.  Apparently I had the screensaver of "Pictures Folder" set, which was not properly set.  It would appear that the program was searching frantically through empty directories to show pictures!
[02:19] <jgedeon> wers, are you in the states?
[02:19] <Pelo> Drk_Guy, your bot priviledges are revoqued,  you can'T do that anymore ;-)
[02:19] <Arnell> K. I'll check the ram and get back to you guys. Thanks!
[02:19] <Drk_Guy> Pelo, usually, the kernel suggests to turn off that feature by itself
[02:19] <Drk_Guy> Pelo, why?
[02:20] <ScheissDroge1> sdls: expect the screensvr of course, nice..lol

[02:24] <MellowYellow> I am having a problem with my microphone port not working under ubuntu, versions prior to 8.04 I had to recompile alsa so having working sound is an improvement. But I would also like to use my mic
[02:24] <Pelo> MellowYellow,  have you checked the alsa settings to make sure the mic isnT' just muted ?
[02:24] <MellowYellow> I have no idea how to go about solving this as all the info that I have found is for older versions
[02:24] <MellowYellow> Pelo, yep :)
[02:25] <Pelo> MellowYellow, just checking , I like to start with the easy stuff
[02:25] <luqui> I'm having trouble getting the brightness to change on my laptop.  Is there any way to control it via /proc or something, so I can try things?
[02:25] <Pelo> MellowYellow,  removing pulseaudio might be a solution ,
[02:26] <MellowYellow> Pelo, well it actually was muted so I am glad I ran alsamixer, it just wasn't a fix :)
[02:26] <sander> thanks, i got to do what i want with recordmydesktop, this program can record live webcam from msn :D
[02:26] <sander> thanks for all

[02:29] <MellowYellow> Pelo, everything is good there as well

[02:30] <nuno_nunes> hi
[02:30] <Pelo> I don'T think athlon cpus are 64 bits,  they are like celerons for intel
[02:30] <meatfrog> hihi
[02:31] <nuno_nunes> hi | nuno_nunes
[02:31]  * Pelo is usualy wrong about these things 
[02:31] <MellowYellow> meatfrog, they can be... not all are...
[02:31] <musikgoat> Pelo: thats incorrect
[02:31] <nuno_nunes> !hi | nuno_nunes
[02:31] <musikgoat> Pelo: there are athlon 64-bit cpus
[02:31] <Pelo> musikgoat, like I said I'm usualy wrong about these things
[02:31] <musikgoat> semprons are like celerons
[02:31] <meatfrog> ive been beating my head against the internet trying to figure it out
[02:32] <nuno_nunes> This ubuntu to install for Celeron 1.7 GHz with 256 Mb...
[02:32] <nuno_nunes> plz help...
[02:32] <Pelo> meatfrog, do you know what your cpu model is , beyond saying it's an athlon,  speed and such might help
[02:32] <ScheissDroge1> ﻿nuno_nunes: whats your prob ?
[02:32] <swilky> can someone help me, i have a file server and linux is saying i have used 39GB when iv only copied about 10 GB to the hdd http://pastebin.com/d1041e585
[02:33] <MellowYellow> meatfrog, well why does it matter to you? some athlons are 64 bit most are not. It depends on the model, they are all quite clearly labeled when they are 64 bit
[02:33] <Pelo> nuno_nunes,  there should be no problem to install ubuntu on that system,  it meats the specs
[02:33] <meatfrog> hmmm lemmie check

[02:39] <Pelo> nuno_nunes,  there is a protugese channel if that helps
[02:39] <stickboy> I'm trying to get cod4 to run in wine. The problem is that I don't have the cd, just the iso. and It's on another computer. i'm splitting the iso into rar archives and moving them over here. but i'm not sure how to install it then. someone in #winehq said to try cdemu but i can't install it. any ideas??
[02:39] <nuno_nunes> tanks for help...
[02:40] <Spencerical>  sup
[02:40] <hitman1985> stickboy, ever heard of copyright ?
[02:40] <Pelo> !iso | stickboy  but I'm not sure you can install from an iso on wine maybe if you mount it to /media/cdrom
[02:40] <Mr_Awesome> is there any way to recover a file from gedit if my computer was shut off unexpectedly?
[02:41] <Spencerical> A person with Ubuntu is open and available to others, affirming of others, does not feel threatened that others are able and good, for he or she has a proper self-assurance that comes from knowing that he or she belongs in a greater whole and is diminished when others are humiliated or diminished, when others are tortured or oppressed.
[02:41] <dr_willis> stickboy,  if that game has any disk-based copy protection - it proberly wont run ..      if its 'cracked' you need to rebuild the iso file on the machine and mount it. and then isntall from the cd image.
 don't have the install cd with me, i'm at college and i left it at home.
[02:41] <stickboy> dr_willis : i've read that no cds crack for it work in wine
[02:42]  * Pelo warns stickboy about talk of warez and cracks and such on the freenode network 
[02:42] <dr_willis> stickboy,   i dont have the game so no idea on what protextion if any it has.. I doubt if what you are going to do will work. have your parents mail you the actual disk is the best bet.
[02:43] <dr_willis> Disk Protextion is the  #1 reason i dont game on the pc much any more.
[02:44] <stickboy> dr_willis : i've purposely not bought games with over the top drm. like bioshock
[02:45] <dr_willis> Sadly ive had to  actually FIND cracks for games i legally own to just play the things.   :( i tend to use steam now a days to buy games
[02:45] <stickboy> dr_willis that's the problem i'm having now. i own, i want to play it.
[02:45] <dr_willis> But this is more wine related then ubuntu. :) so ive said all i can say
[02:46] <dr_willis> stickboy,  your problem is you frogot your legally bought disk at home. :)
[02:46] <stickboy> dr_willis true, but still requires a crack.

[02:49] <franko> synaptic?
[02:50] <jessid> hello. i have installed ubuntu 7.10 in a usb pendrive and i would like to make a complete backup of that. Some ideas? is there any gui tool for that? thanks
[02:50] <mushroomblue> I was thinking a list I could either parse, or pipe to a txt file
[02:50] <Pelo> mushroomblue, open synaptic,  click the status button on the bottom left,  select installed , then click the column header of the first column
[02:50] <franko> ah..
[02:50] <mushroomblue> Pelo: would it be possible to get that outputted to a text file?
[02:50] <mushroomblue> there has to be a command.
[02:50] <mushroomblue> but I can't find one in the man page.
[02:50] <meatfrog> does the upgrade let you chose i386 or 64bit version (8.10) ?
[02:51] <shey> meatfrog: I beleive it goes by the currently installed version
[02:52] <Pelo> mushroomblue,  try this  dpkg --get-selections > mypackages   then check your /home for  mypackages
[02:52] <ScheissDroge1> !clone > ﻿mushroomblue:

[02:55] <shey> Impy^: pastebin the error
[02:55] <nathanielneall> im having trouble playing DVD's
[02:55] <Pelo> Impy^, what,s the error you get from ./configure ?
[02:55] <shey> !pastebin
[02:56] <Pelo> !dvd | nathanielneall  please not the second task in the instalation
[02:56] <ScheissDroge1> Impy^: missing packets ?
[02:56] <Impy^> ahh when i do ./configure it says bash: ./configure: No such file or directory
[02:56] <nathanielneall> when i open a disk in movie player it tells me: an error has occurred, could not read from resource
[02:56] <Pelo> nathanielneall, actualy , just run this command  in the terminal and all should be fine sudo apt-get install totem-xine libdvdread3 libxine1-ffmpeg && sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/install-css.sh
[02:57] <ScheissDroge1> Impy^: cd to the right dir and had it exutable see also !compile
[02:58] <nathanielneall> whats the password?
[02:59] <Impy^> i need to find the directory with !compile in?
[02:59] <Impy^> sorry i'm pretty new to all this :(
[02:59] <Pelo> nathanielneall, your own password
[02:59] <nathanielneall> oh
[02:59] <xork> Hello! a question - i have an exteral firewire drive that disappears randomly - a reboot of my machine will always bring it back.. is there anyway to execute whatever is happening in the reboot process to bring it back....without rebooting?
[02:59] <nathanielneall> is that always the case when it says sudo pass?
[02:59] <Pelo> Impy^, did you install build-essential ? yes, ok ,  you have your tar.gz file,  extract it , you'll get a new dir,  cd to that dir
[03:00] <Pelo> nathanielneall, yes
[03:00] <Pelo> nathanielneall, sudo is the way ubuntu runs root commands,  whithout loging in as root,
[03:00] <Impy^> what's build-essential? i extracted the tar to desktop and go a folder and i cd into that folder
[03:00] <j_humphrey> how well does 8.04 support ntfs?
[03:00] <Pelo> Impy^, build-essential is the package that contains the stuff you need to manualy compile an app
[03:01] <usser> j_humphrey, basic read/write support is there
[03:01] <Pelo> Impy^, sudo apt-get install build-essential
[03:01] <Drk_Guy> j_humphrey, write support, limited debugging support
[03:01] <bobertdos> j_humphrey: yeah, reasonably well
[03:01] <Drk_Guy> j_humphrey, obviusly, read support is there too
[03:01] <j_humphrey> If I have a media, ntfs partition, will ubuntu handle it well, or should i just make it fat32?
[03:01] <Rezagrats> Drk_Guy, that link didn't help (the fonts one), i still want to convert .FON to .TTF
[03:01] <Impy^> Ahh okay i'm downloading that right now pelo :)
[03:01] <nathanielneall> will this help with more than dvd's because i got a similar problem on an audio cd
[03:01] <j_humphrey> the partition will be read by vista and ubuntu
[03:01] <ScheissDroge1> xork : automount it in fstab ?
[03:02] <bobertdos> j_humphrey: Although it tends to be a little less reliable with external drives. Internal drives work just fine.
[03:02] <bobertdos> j_humphrey: Most of the time, if there are problems, it usually has to do with automounting.
[03:02] <nathanielneall> j_humphrey: if you get virtualbox you can run any environment
[03:02] <Impy^> Pelo i installed build-essential now i cd into the directory what do i do now? when i type ./configure it says no such file or directory
[03:03] <Impy^> ahh make is doing something now :o
[03:03] <Impy^> i got 2 errors back from type make pelo
[03:03] <Pelo> Impy^, check in the folder,  look for an install file,  or INSTALL , read it , the install proceedure might not require you to compile manualy ,  there might be a bin or a .sh file
[03:04] <ScheissDroge1> Impy^: also see ls for a possible readme
[03:04] <Pelo> Impy^, give me the link to the tar.gz so I can have a look
[03:04] <ScheissDroge1> ;-)
[03:04] <xork> what's the command if i want to mount /dev/sdd to /blah?
[03:04] <xork> i tried sudo mount /dev/sdd /blah

[03:11] <nathanielneall> well does that error look at all familiar to you?
[03:11] <MikeGeig> bobert: I have been to those sties and I have tried those options, none are working
[03:11] <Pelo> nathanielneall, ok you see that && in the middle of the command I gave you ,  it means those are actual 2 commands,  run them seperately
[03:11] <MikeGeig> I am very frustrated because I dont know what all these hd0, sda, etc are
[03:11] <nathanielneall> ok
[03:11] <nathanielneall> ill try that
[03:11] <xork> is there some script in /etc/init.d that handles firewire during boot process i can re-execute?
[03:11] <nathanielneall> brb
[03:12] <ScheissDroge1> sudo mount /dev/sdd   /mnt/blah                  ,xork, or whatever your mountp is called doesnt work ?

[03:13] <yates> fyi: i'm a new convert from fedora.
[03:13] <nathanielneall> Pelo: can you resend that command i overrode it on the clipboard
[03:13] <ScheissDroge1> xork, did you "hot" unplugged the drive ?
[03:13] <Pelo> Till10185, make sure it is uptodate,  there was a similar problem with amsn a few weeks ago , update took care of it
[03:13] <xork> ScheissDroge1, nope, i didn't.. this just happens at random
[03:13] <xork> ScheissDroge1, it happens in windows too? i think it's an issue w/ my firewire card maybe
[03:13] <Pelo> nathanielneall, sudo apt-get install totem-xine libdvdread3 libxine1-ffmpeg                      sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/install-css.sh
[03:14] <yates> tell me i'm doing the right thing...
[03:14] <xork> ScheissDroge1, but surely there's something in the boot process that initializes it... that i can run without actually rebooting?
[03:14] <Drk_Guy> Rezagrats, Maybe
[03:14] <Till10185> k il check i think i know what i did that screwed it up i put in a japanese text in my available icon and after that it didnt work
[03:14] <Yamakiri> how do I remove a user from the admin group?
[03:14] <ScheissDroge1> xork: no further idea then, sry,  I would try to have it listed in fstab
[03:15] <bobertdos> MikeGeig: When you attempted to reinstall grub, what partition did the find command locate?
[03:15] <Till10185> most chat servers are still buggy but hopefully they can fix it sooner or later
[03:15] <xork> ScheissDroge1, i do have it there ;\ it's just strange it's still listed in fdisk -l
[03:15] <nathanielneall> Pelo: i get the same error on the second command
[03:15] <stuff_happens> how do I find out my motherboard manufacturer through Linux? There are programs like sisoft sandra for Windows, but I can't find anything like that for linux that will give information about the motherboard.
[03:15] <ScheissDroge1> xork, a simple: sudo  mount -a             ??
[03:16] <xork> ScheissDroge1, nope :(\
[03:16] <Nutt718> how do I set my login automatically in UBUNTU
[03:16] <danbh_intrepid> stuff_happens: dohickey is a lesser known option
[03:16] <UOX3Guest7920> hello?
[03:16] <ScheissDroge1> ﻿stuff_happens: hwinfo
[03:16] <Pelo> nathanielneall, ok  type  locate libdvdread3 ( in the terminal ) and make sure that the right path is in the command
[03:16] <UOX3Guest7920> Ihave a question...
[03:16] <MikeGeig> bobert: find does not work, I get a "file not found"
[03:16] <Till10185> do you go to synaptic manager to find the update to pidgin
[03:16] <xork> anyone familiar w/ the boot scripts in /etc/init.d and which might handle firewire & external drives?
[03:17] <UOX3Guest7920> Can anyone answer a question for me?
[03:17] <xork> or pci cards, even?
[03:17] <bobertdos> Yamakiri: There are command line commands for this too, but I'd just do it graphically. System->Administration->Users and Groups. Unlock it, Manage Groups, open the admin group, and uncheck the user.
[03:17] <ScheissDroge1> xork, sudo apt-get install pastebinit && pastebinit /etc/fstab
[03:17] <MikeGeig> bobert: likewise, /boot/grub does not exist
[03:17] <Pelo> UOX3Guest7920, just ask
[03:17] <yates> Yamakiri: system-config-users
[03:17] <Yamakiri> bobertdos: if I only have SSH access?
[03:18] <nathanielneall> Pelo, is there an exact directory i want it to be in?
[03:18] <xork> ScheissDroge1, /dev/vds400	/vds400		ext3	defaults	0	0 is the important line
[03:18] <bobertdos> Yamakiri: Then one of us is going to have to look up the commands :p
[03:18] <yates> Yamakiri: is your source machine running a x server?
[03:18] <Yamakiri> yates: yes
[03:18] <Pelo> nathanielneall,it's already suppose to be there , the command might just not match whre it is
[03:18] <xork> ScheissDroge1, i have a udev rule setup to create /dev/vds400 based on the firewire id
[03:19] <yates> Yamakiri: then you can run the x tunneling version of ssh: ssh -XC destmachine
[03:19] <Pelo> nathanielneall, try running  sudo apt-get install build-essential ,  just incase you might bemissing the compiler
[03:19] <Till10185> do you have to go to synaptic manager to find the auto update to fix the problem with pidgin
[03:19] <nathanielneall> Pelo, yes a list of files and folders came up
[03:19] <xork> oh god, that was easy
[03:19] <Jordan_U> !ask | UOX3Guest7920
[03:19] <danbh_intrepid> Till10185: try a regular update
[03:19] <yates> Yamakiri: then when you run an x client on the remote machine, it'll display on your source machine.
[03:19] <xork> ScheissDroge1, solution is this - sudo mount /dev/vds400 /vds400 ;)
[03:19] <xork> ScheissDroge1, lol thanks for your help
[03:19] <Pelo> nathanielneall, check that  install-css.sh is listed
[03:19] <ScheissDroge1> xork: see, ever tried directly ? or as a changeable via uuid ?
[03:20] <phantomcircuit> My microphone isnt working
[03:20] <nathanielneall> Pelo, it is
[03:20] <habernet> is vmware not in the ubuntu repo's?
[03:20] <yates> Yamakiri: so just ssh -XC into the remote, then run system-config-users.
[03:20] <thomc>  I accidentally deleted some files on an encrypted fat32 partition, any ideas how I might recover them?
[03:20] <phantomcircuit> "Your audio capture settings are invalid. Please correct them in the Multimedia settings."
[03:20] <Yamakiri> yates: ok thanks
[03:20] <Jordan_U> habernet: vmware is proprietary
[03:20] <habernet> thanks
[03:20] <ScheissDroge1> ﻿stuff_happens: hwinfo  -got done with that ?
[03:20] <yates> Yamakiri: good luck.
[03:20] <Yamakiri> heh
[03:20] <Pelo> nathanielneall, I'm stumped,  the only other thing I can think of suggesting is for you to go into add/remove and isntalling the restricted extras from there,  I think dvd support is incluced ,
[03:20] <Jordan_U> habernet: virtualbox open source edition is in the repos though
[03:20] <UOX3Guest7920> has anyone tried playing ultima online through UOx3?
[03:21] <Efrem> Why don't you answer your phone Jordan
[03:21] <MikeGeig> bobert: is there anyway to reinstall grub without a floppy?
[03:21] <nathanielneall> there a package name i can search for?
[03:21] <Pelo> nathanielneall, just search for extra
[03:22] <yates> Yamakiri: PS: I used the wrong term. ssh -XC uses "X11 port forwarding".
[03:22] <yates> not tunneling
[03:22] <Yamakiri> Oh
[03:22] <Eli_> what is command to extract zip file?
[03:23] <Eli_> xvf filename
[03:23] <Eli_> ??
[03:23] <yates> Eli_ unzip
[03:23] <Pelo> Eli_, just right click it and extract
[03:23] <Yamakiri> yates: what's different then?
[03:23] <Eli_> in the cli
[03:23] <dr_willis> Eli_,  you may wan tto check out the 'unp' command you can install.
[03:23] <Eli_> wow
[03:23] <dr_willis> Eli_,  the command is 'unzip' for .zip files
[03:23] <Eli_> that was easy in cli
[03:23] <yates> Yamakiri: no difference in the command - just my terminology was wrong.
[03:24] <Eli_> thansk
[03:24] <Yamakiri> oh okk
[03:24] <yates> Yamakiri: have you tried it yet? It's totally cool.
[03:24] <Pelo> past my bedtime,  good night fooks,   nathanielneall best of luck
[03:24] <MikeGeig> I type is grub-install and it asks me wat device to install to. What should I use?
[03:24] <Yamakiri> yates: no not yet, the target machine is off ATM
[03:25] <yates> Yamakiri: are you going over the internet to a remote machine far away, or is this machine on your local network?
[03:25] <Yamakiri> far away
[03:27] <yates> Yamakiri: Well, if the destination machine is on a home network with a router, you have to ensure port 22 is opened up on the router.
[03:27] <Yamakiri> It is
[03:28] <MikeGeig> can anyone please assist me with GRUB?
[03:28] <yates> anyone know of a command-line method of writing an iso file to a cd?
[03:28] <MikeGeig> i have been at this all day and I cant even get into ubuntu yet
[03:28] <nnull> anyone tell me where id view my boot log? like the screen that OK's or FAILs starting services on boot?
[03:29] <tsuna27> i have a problem w/ totem i cannot play a file due 2 an error called demultiplex system
[03:29] <yates> MikeGeig: what is your problem?
[03:29] <danbh_intrepid> !burning | yates
[03:29] <bobertdos> MikeGeig: If /boot/grub does not exist, your initial install DID NOT succeed.
[03:29] <tsuna27> hello?????????????????????/
[03:30] <nnull> tsuna27, what kind of file is it
[03:30] <danbh_intrepid> !patience > tsuna27
[03:30] <tsuna27> .mkv
[03:30] <yates> danbh_intrepid: are those command-line methods? they sound like gui thingies.
[03:30] <nnull> never heard of it :x
[03:30] <nnull> anyone tell me where id view my boot log? like the screen that OK's or FAILs starting services on boot?
[03:30] <MikeGeig> bobertos: I just ran grub-install /dev/hda and it failed with a "/dev/hda" does not exist. However, since doing that, /boot/grub is now there. The only thing inside is device.map though
[03:31] <bolrog> this function takes an array of chars (aka a string) as its parameter, right?    int QMConnectLocal(char * account);
[03:31] <danbh_intrepid> !terminal > yates      a terminal is a command line, same thing
[03:31] <nnull> MikeGeig, u dual booting?
[03:31] <MikeGeig> nnull: yes
[03:31] <nnull> just install it from windows hehe
[03:32] <danbh_intrepid> !terminal  > danbh_intrepid
[03:32] <bobertdos> nnull: /var/log/boot (and bootstrap if you need to look at it)
[03:32] <MikeGeig> null: got a guide that migth assist me in doing that?
[03:32] <yates> MikeGeig: when you reboot, are you seeing a screen from grub asking which OS to load?
[03:32] <MikeGeig> yates: no
[03:32] <nnull> bobertdos, cheers mate ill try that
[03:32] <zcat[1]> Yay. The bug I was complaining about this morning, found it in launchpad, acknowledged and fixed in Intrepid / backports. I feel less annoyed now
[03:32] <MikeGeig> yates: goes staright into windows
[03:33] <yates> MikeGeig: then grub must not be properly installed.
[03:33] <MikeGeig> yates: I am well aware, thats why I am here
[03:33] <bobertdos> bolrog: Correct, but this is not the best channel for that type of question.
[03:33] <yates> MikeGeig: you mentioend running grub-install - was that from windows?
[03:33] <danbh_intrepid> !fixgrub > MikeGeig have you seen this factoid?
[03:33] <jgedeon> You can always edit your boot.ini file if you know where its Ubuntu is installed.
[03:33] <MikeGeig> yates: no, ubuntu, I am in the live CD
[03:34] <MikeGeig> danbh: yes, thank you
[03:34] <danbh_intrepid> doesnt work?
[03:34] <bolrog> bobertdos: true, but thanks.
[03:34] <MikeGeig> danbh: nope
[03:35] <danbh_intrepid> MikeGeig: care to say how it fails?
[03:35] <nnull> bobertdos, boot says nothing has been logged :s
[03:35] <MikeGeig> danhb: which part?
[03:36] <danbh_intrepid> MikeGeig: exactly
[03:36] <MikeGeig> danhb: I am not sure I understand you
[03:36] <danbh_intrepid> MikeGeig: which part fails?
[03:37] <bobertdos> nnull: What are you looking for, exactly?
[03:37] <yates> MikeGeig: sorry - can't help you further - too ignorant on grub.
[03:37] <MikeGeig> danhb: I am not sure I understand yet, every part of everything even remotely having to do with grub fails. I have been at this for 8 hours now
[03:37] <MikeGeig> danhb: grub-install /dev/hda tells me there is no /dev/hda
[03:37] <nnull> bobertdos, when i boot i see problems with firestarter many times red FAILS and id like to find out whats going on there
[03:37] <danbh_intrepid> MikeGeig: what happens at step 4?
[03:37] <nnull> pause does not allow me to see
[03:38] <Jessicatz> hi, I'm having networking issues with my RealTek 8168/8111 on-board chip in 8.04
[03:38] <MikeGeig> danhb: find /boot/grub/stage1 returns "no such file"
[03:38] <wersdaluv> jgedeon, hahaha! i can open 192.168.1.4 on pc1 now :D
[03:38] <jgedeon> wersdaluv, Kewl.
[03:38] <yates> MikeGeig: under Unbuntu/Live: what do you see when from "ls /dev"?
[03:38] <ScheissDroge1> nnull: nothing serious, firestarter needs root access is one reason, the other is a message when network is still unreachable
[03:38] <yates> MikeGeig: can you pastebin it?
[03:38] <MikeGeig> yates: bout 50 folders
[03:39] <danbh_intrepid> MikeGeig: can you pastebin sudo fdisk -l  ?
[03:39] <wersdaluv> jgedeon, all i did was to reboot pc 2 :D
[03:39] <MikeGeig> danhb: how do I pastebin
[03:39] <ScheissDroge1> !paste
[03:39] <wersdaluv> will this still work if i directly connect two comps with a lan cable?
[03:39] <jgedeon> wersdaluv, thought you did a restart on the networking.
[03:39] <MikeGeig> actually, no I cant, I am on my laptop and my PC is the one having troubles
[03:39] <wersdaluv> jgedeon, i think, i did that too. hehe
[03:39] <MikeGeig> though I can answer any questions
[03:40] <ScheissDroge1> wersdaluv: without a switch use a patchcable
[03:40] <jgedeon> wersdaluv, you will have to use a cross over cable and set your IP's static.
[03:40] <nnull> ScheissDroge1, ok but if i am to understand that on boot firestarter configurates the iptables as i have determined, and upon not starting on boot, my iptables would not be configured correctly until i open firestarter once booted?
[03:40] <danbh_intrepid> MikeGeig: can you retype the results of sudo fdisk -l into a pastebin?  I think we kinda need to see the layout of your partitions
[03:40] <MikeGeig> danhb: one moment
[03:41] <MikeGeig> !paste
[03:41] <ScheissDroge1> nnull:unless you don't want to lower security you have to manually start it as root, but you can use ufw for that problem
[03:42] <pokeyoats> :)b
[03:42] <nnull> ScheissDroge1, i have ufw and firewall installed (ive never used ufw but am seriously thinking about it) is that a problem?
[03:42] <nnull> firewall* firestarter
[03:42] <MikeGeig> danhb: I just did
[03:42] <MikeGeig> danhb: what do I do now?
[03:42] <ScheissDroge1> nnull: nope, sudo ufw enable
[03:42] <danbh_intrepid> paste the link into the chat
[03:43] <bobertdos> nnull: Well one of those logs should be useful........maybe syslog?

[03:43] <Xime> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5741591#post5741591 should explain
[03:43] <nnull> bobertdos, nothing in syslog about firestarter
[03:43] <MarcC> how do I make it so my wireless network doesn't shut down when I suspend?
[03:44] <MarcC> or so the modules aren't removed
[03:44] <nnull> ScheissDroge1, so i could uninstall firestarter would ufw replace it in the boot sequence?
[03:44] <Xime> please someone help me install ubuntu
[03:44] <MikeGeig> danhb: does that help?

[03:45] <usser> Veyne, ~/.bash_history

[03:47] <danbh_intrepid> MikeGeig: can you mount the ubuntu partition?
[03:47] <Yamakiri> yates: I did SSH -XC servername    then typed      system-config-users     root@hemlock:~# system-config-users -bash: system-config-users: command not found
[03:47] <MikeGeig> danhb: how do I do that?

[03:48] <MikeGeig> danhb: forgive my ignorance, what command line will allow me to mount sda6?
[03:48] <Xime> okay but could you ateleast say like, ill help you in a minute
[03:48] <Yamakiri> Hum, yates isn't on ATM. but can anyone help me with this?  I did SSH -XC servername  then typed  system-config-users root@hemlock:~# system-config-users -bash: system-config-users: command not found
[03:48] <amenado> Xime we are serving number 759 what number is yours?
[03:48] <Ziroday> Xime: did you try the alternate cd and what does the busybox shell say?
[03:49] <ScheissDroge1> lol
[03:49] <spiritssight2> what do I need installed to view a windows file share directory
[03:49] <Jordan_U> MikeGeig: sudo mound /dev/sda6 /mountpoint/here/

[03:49] <Ziroday> Xime: okay, please address .Did you try the alternate cd?
[03:49] <Nutt718> is it possible to install a .tar.gz file in terminal without extracting it first?
[03:49] <bobertdos> Yamakiri: Actually, you can also just disable the user's admin privileges in the user menu.
[03:49] <Xime> no I used a cd ubuntu sent me
[03:49] <Ziroday> Nutt718: no, you need to extract it
[03:49] <danbh_intrepid> Xime: try ctrl+alt+f8     or f6    see if you see anything interesting there
[03:50] <Yamakiri> bobertdos: how do I get to the user menu from the terminal?
[03:50] <Ziroday> Xime: well try the alternate cd like recommended to you
[03:50] <Xime> and tried a old ubuntu cd I installed ubuntu sucessfully with like a year ago and it didn't work
[03:50] <MikeGeig> jordan: what mount point should I use?
[03:50] <Yamakiri> bobertdos: the PC in question is 600 miles away :p
[03:50] <Xime> alternative cd?
[03:50] <mib_7g503o> Can I setup /etc/network/interfaces to have multiple settings for any given interface? I'd like to set a static IP on a laptop, but I'd like it to fallback to dhcp if conditions aren't met (i.e. gateway doesn't exist)...
[03:50] <phantomcircuit> "Your audio capture settings are invalid. Please correct them in the Multimedia settings."
[03:50] <Jordan_U> MikeGeig: Doesn't matter really, if you are just doing it temporarily use /mnt
[03:51] <amenado> mib_7g503o-> its static or dhcp, not both
[03:51] <Nutt718> Ziroday: thanks, I tried extracting to desktop and running apt-get install command and it failes
[03:51] <Ziroday> Xime: please address, can you please try the alternative installer
[03:51] <bobertdos> Yamakiri: Oh wait, forget I said that. So, the command you'll need is usermod using the -G argument. Be careful though, you have to list every group you still want the user to be in. It will be removed from any groups you don't list that it is already a member of........
[03:51] <mib_7g503o> amenado: thanks
[03:51] <MikeGeig> danhb: ok, it is mounted
[03:51] <Ziroday> Nutt718: what are you trying to install?
[03:51] <danbh_intrepid> MikeGeig: if you really spent 8 hours doing this, just reinstall.  Its faster and easier
[03:51] <MikeGeig> danhb: I have reinstalled 10 times atleadt
[03:51] <ScheissDroge1> Nutt718:better but tarballs in /usr/src  or other subdirs
[03:52] <Xime> but I have 512mb ram
[03:52] <danbh_intrepid> !home > MikeGeig having a separate /home makes reinstalling easy, since it saves your settings
[03:52] <Jordan_U> corigo: So I assume that your hardware doesn't work out of the box?
[03:52] <Yamakiri> bobertdos: Um, I don't know all of the usergroups
[03:52] <danbh_intrepid> MikeGeig: the install doesn't get it working for you?
[03:52] <Ziroday> Xime: yes, but something in your computer may be incompatible with the graphical installer. Please try the alternate cd
[03:52] <MikeGeig> danhb: nope, each time, same deal
[03:52] <Xime> k
[03:52] <Xime> you like pretty sure thats my ticket to installing ubuntu?
[03:53] <danbh_intrepid> MikeGeig: oh, that changes things.  erm,  thats a bug
[03:53] <Ziroday> Xime: I could try and diagnose your issue farther, but with no error messages and sparse computer information its very difficult
[03:53] <MikeGeig> danhb: I have tried manually setting the partitions, I have tried letting the CD do it
[03:53] <Ziroday> Xime: no I am not
[03:53] <MikeGeig> danhb: I have tried every option on the disk
[03:53] <danbh_intrepid> MikeGeig: is this newer hardware?
[03:53] <ScheissDroge1> Xime: does a live cd run ?
[03:53] <Yamakiri> bobertdos: Anywhere I can see a list of all of these?  And could you give an example?
[03:53] <dr_willis> MikeGeig,  i tend to use gparted from a live cd and leave a portionof the hard drive 'unallocated' and let the installer use/partion that part of the drive as it wants.
[03:53] <MikeGeig> danhb: newish
[03:54] <MikeGeig> dr_willis: tried it
[03:54] <danbh_intrepid> MikeGeig: did you check the cd for errors?
[03:54] <MikeGeig> danhb: all hardware is withing 1-3 years old
[03:54] <Xime> yeah it runs
[03:54] <MikeGeig> danhb: no, I will do that now
[03:55] <Xime> ziroday, I remember it saying something about ata2 error message when I ran a old ubuntu cd
[03:55] <ScheissDroge1> !who>Xime
[03:55] <Ziroday> Xime: I am going to need something better then that sorry
[03:55] <danbh_intrepid> MikeGeig: this isn't really a grub issue, this is a failed install.  Im sorry for leading you astray, I thought you had a successful install at some point
[03:55] <Xime> err well what is ata2?
[03:55] <bobertdos> Yamakiri: Oh yeah. First, you can use: groups NameOfUser to see what groups the user is in. Then, an example of usermod would be like..........
[03:55] <MikeGeig> danhb: it seems like a successful install
[03:56] <MikeGeig> danhb: I have never received any install errors
[03:56] <corigo> You know, I don't know. As it turns out I haven't plugged in the HD on that IDE. Will have to shut down.
[03:56] <ScheissDroge1> Xime: hd-standard and no prob
[03:56] <Xime> k
[03:56] <Xime> well it gave some ata2 error
[03:56] <Xime> so that has to do with my hdd?
[03:56] <Jordan_U> corigo: 95% of hardware that works at all in Linux works by default :)
[03:56] <ScheissDroge1> Xime: yes
[03:56] <MikeGeig> danhb: how can I tell it if is successfull or not?
[03:56] <danbh_intrepid> MikeGeig: yeah, but it doesn't work.  Which means its kinda out of my league.   If the cd has no errors, I'd suggest posting on launchpad
[03:57] <_anthonyc> is there a webkit version of epiphany in the repos anywhere?
[03:57] <MikeGeig> danhb: I did post on launchpad, they told me the same things you did
[03:57] <danbh_intrepid> MikeGeig: link?
[03:57] <Jordan_U> _anthonyc: There is in intrepid if you want to backport it
[03:57] <Ziroday> Xime: unless knowing the full error message, we cannot tell.
[03:57] <_anthonyc> how do I do that?

[03:59] <danbh_intrepid> MikeGeig: lets make this a bug.  Install should handle that for you.  You should not have to repair unless you installed windows AFTER you installed ubuntu.  To be clear, you did install ubuntu second, right?
[03:59] <_anthonyc> chrome uses an older version
[03:59] <_anthonyc> I want the acid3 passing one

[04:00] <_anthonyc> may even just compile from source.

[04:00] <_anthonyc> I'm going for the source on this one

[04:01] <JustinTime> anyone know the simplest way to change a volume name of an ISO. Note the volume name is not the name of the iso but rather name after it mounts

[04:04] <dunas> The last few times I tried Ubuntu, 8.04 both times, on logout the GNOME panel would hang, and restarting the X server with ctrl-alt-backspace did nothing. In addition, the X server insisted on resetting to 800x600 every time I DID restart the X server. This kind of makes me a little wary of Ubuntu...
[04:04] <usser> carl__, sudo apt-get install audacious
[04:04] <_anthonyc> dmccollum: try firestarter
[04:04] <afze> !devel packages
[04:05] <biglinux> fuck you

[04:07] <dunas> The last few times I tried Ubuntu, 8.04 both times, on logout the GNOME panel would hang, and restarting the X server with ctrl-alt-backspace did nothing. In addition, the X server insisted on resetting to 800x600 every time I DID restart the X server. This kind of makes me a little wary of Ubuntu... can anyone tell me if there's some common error I'm making that'd result in that?
[04:08] <_anthonyc> this happens to me sometimes, dunas
[04:08] <_anthonyc> you use compiz?
[04:09] <dunas> _anthonyc: No, not when I was using Ubuntu.
[04:09] <_anthonyc> hmm. ok you use firefox 3?
[04:09] <dunas> _anthonyc: Yup.
[04:10] <danbh_intrepid> MikeGeig: I converted it to a bug:  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub/+bug/267320         Hopefully, someone will help you trouble shoot this
[04:10] <doggymenz> dunas, in a month or two, 8.10 will be out, it includes new kernel, new gnome, new xserver
[04:10] <dunas> doggymenz: Looking forward to that.
[04:10] <doggymenz> yeah, me too
[04:10] <Python77> how safe is it to download ebooks from torrents?
[04:10] <doggymenz> and soon firefox 3.1 is out with faster javascript and better porno support
[04:10] <corigo> Jordan_U: not apparently, at least I don't see my drive listed in the media list
[04:10] <MikeGeig> danhb: thank you
[04:11] <_anthonyc> dunas: and flash, too, I'm guessing?
[04:11] <theCarpenter> anyone know where evince document viewer's default print to pdf location is?
[04:11] <dunas> _anthonyc: Yup.
[04:11] <Python77> Everyone, how safe is it to download torrents off of piratebay.org?
[04:11] <Flats> Hello, I am running HArdy Heron 8.04 2.6.24-20 generic on a dell laptop wit hthe intel proset 2200BG wireless adapter. I have the wireless adapter showing in network adapters as a Wireless connection and can configure both static and dhcp however #1) It bever connects and if I look in "edit wireless networks", it doesn't show any wireless networks found. Any idea how I can see if it's active and working?
[04:11] <theCarpenter> im trying to convert a 500 postscript file to pdf @_@
[04:11] <doggymenz> soon also new openoffice 3.0 and mysql 5.1
[04:11] <doggymenz> soon new kde 4.2
[04:11] <_anthonyc> well its a common thing between flash and gnome to smear X
[04:11] <doggymenz> soon new python 3.0
[04:11] <danbh_intrepid> Python77: try #ubuntu-offtopic
[04:11] <afze> how can i use the apt-get command to get all sort of devel packages?
[04:11] <doggymenz> in few days xorg 7.5
[04:12] <afze> !apt-get
[04:12] <dr_willis> Python77,  depends on whats in the the torrent.
[04:12] <Python77> danbh_intrepid, i did, nobody answers
[04:12] <dunas> apt-get install something
[04:12] <ScheissDroge1> ﻿danbh_intrepid: ever tried super grub cd ? (your filed bug)
[04:12] <kunim> I HATE ATI! arg! radeonhd git head shows jibberish, fglrx crashes the whole computer on video playback and vesa is just plain slow. :~~~(
[04:12] <dunas> I'm guessing there's a way to install a number of them at once.
[04:12] <doggymenz> danbh_intrepid, if you are using intrepid, you can goto #ubuntu+1
[04:12] <_anthonyc> dunas: if it does it, it IS an open bug somewhere, but you wanna hold down control+alt+sysrq and while holding them down hit U then S then B
[04:12] <dr_willis> Python77,  there are official ubuntu.torrent sites  if you are wanting to get the ubuntu iso files via torrent.
[04:12] <_anthonyc> and that will safely unmount your drives, reset hardware and reboot
[04:13] <mn> what do I need to use flash stuff on kubuntu on FF3?
[04:13] <kunim> i wonder who on earth recommends this piece of **** to any linux user :(
[04:13] <Jordan_U> corigo: Do you see it if you run "sudo fdisk -L" ?
[04:13] <dunas> Well, I think I'll just wait for 8.10- still annoyed about the X server issue.
[04:13] <danbh_intrepid> ScheissDroge1: I dont know, you will have to ask Mike, but IMHO, grub should work after a clean install, no questions, or steps to repair.  Hence, the bug
[04:13] <SuperQ> mn: apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[04:13] <MikeGeig> danhb: one last question, during installation, do I want to put the boot loader on the disk, or on the specific partition of my linux install?
[04:13] <doggymenz> yeah, 8.10 has better xorg, it even runs on my computer without any config file!
[04:14] <danbh_intrepid> MikeGeig: on the MBR, which maybe means "on the disk"  certainly not on the partition
[04:14] <bobertdos> mn: You can either install flashplugin-nonfree from the repos or just let firefox do it itself. If you go with flash 9, you'll want to install libflashsupport as well.
[04:14] <KenBW2> can you Suspend on a wubi install?
[04:14] <_anthonyc> yes
[04:14] <_anthonyc> but no hibernate
[04:14] <MikeGeig> danhb: so if my options are /dev/sdc, /dev/sdc1, and /dev/sdc6, I should choose /dev/sdc?
[04:14] <mn> bobertdos: how do i get flash 9
[04:14] <dunas> doggymenz: But, obviously, the best choice is to wait for it to hit at least beta, I'm guessing.
[04:14] <_anthonyc> but its not reccomended unless you KNOW your hardware can handle it :p
[04:15] <duiu> What's a good program I can use to convert videos (mainly .iso, .flv, .avi and .mp4) to ipod-touch friendly formats?
[04:15] <danbh_intrepid> doggymenz: if you are going to discuss intrepid, you should go to #ubuntu+1
[04:15] <matthewslf> killall amarokapp
[04:15] <scifiguy951> what kind of nmap scan would i do to find comps on my router?
[04:15]  * kunim is so unhappy :(
[04:15] <MellowYellow> what is the easiest way to get a list of all active ips for a domain like www.facebook.com?
[04:15] <danbh_intrepid> MikeGeig: I dont know
[04:15] <KenBW2> _anthonyc: why doesnt hibernate work?
[04:15] <ScheissDroge1> ﻿danbh_intrepid: have no other experience, too,  though many different multi-boots behind me, there are these two, supergrub cd and another winbased-similar cd that always saved me until now -but always have my bootbackupped
[04:15] <bobertdos> mn: Apparently, flash is also included in ubuntu-extras, so either way.
[04:16] <Kira> *sigh* my server still doesn't have enough memory.
[04:16] <_anthonyc> its because of the way wubi mounts an NTFS drive and runs from it
[04:16] <usser> MellowYellow, host facebook.com
[04:16] <mn> so sudo apt-get install ubuntu-extras?
[04:16] <_anthonyc> can't just dump everything there
[04:16] <danbh_intrepid> ScheissDroge1: but have you ever had the ubuntu installer fail to install grub?  Thats never happened to me
[04:16] <_anthonyc> I have
[04:16] <bobertdos> mn: Oh sorry, misread a previous post.
[04:16] <_anthonyc> had a dell that protected the MBR of the HDD
[04:17] <mn> ok
[04:17] <_anthonyc> translation: it just plain broke
[04:17] <danbh_intrepid> mn sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[04:17] <bobertdos> mn: Go into a terminal and type sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree libflashsupport
[04:17] <Flats> Hello, I am running HArdy Heron 8.04 2.6.24-20 generic on a dell laptop wit hthe intel proset 2200BG wireless adapter. I have the wireless adapter showing in network adapters as a Wireless connection and can configure both static and dhcp however #1) It bever connects and if I look in "edit wireless networks", it doesn't show any wireless networks found. Any idea how I can see if it's active and working?
[04:17] <ScheissDroge1> ﻿danbh_intrepid: nope, but of couse shot evrything else from win to tc to any other loader
[04:17] <_anthonyc> Flats: don't spam again
[04:17] <corigo> Jordan_U: nope
[04:18] <Flats> I waitied the normal 5 minutes. sorry
[04:18] <_anthonyc> Flats: use an external wireless card, preferrably older
[04:18] <ScheissDroge1> Flats: sudo ifup eth0
[04:18] <_anthonyc> Flats: also reccomended is ndiswrapper, wifiradar, and another card ;)
[04:19] <Flats> all the posts say the 2200BG is one of the best for ubuntu right out of the box
[04:19] <danbh_intrepid> Flats: check iwconfig
[04:19] <danbh_intrepid> Flats: see what is listed there
[04:20] <Flats> unassociated ESSID:off/any
[04:20] <Flats> Power management off
[04:20] <danbh_intrepid> Flats: do you kow the essid of the network you are trying to connect to?
[04:20] <jgedeon> Flats in terminal what does dmesg | grep Intel say about your Wireless card.
[04:20] <Flats> yes, StayOff and the wep2 key
[04:21] <lasaryus> !wireless
[04:21] <danbh_intrepid> Flats: maybe this: sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid StagOff key your_key
[04:21] <DefunctProcess> hey wats the name of that firefox plugin hat makes websites think ur using a diffrent browser?
[04:21] <danbh_intrepid> Flats: *StayOff
[04:22] <Flats> wlan0 or eth1?
[04:22] <danbh_intrepid> DefunctProcess: I think it would have something to do with the "user agent string"
[04:22] <DefunctProcess> danbh_intrepid, thanks
[04:22] <danbh_intrepid> Flats: whatever was listed in iwconfig
[04:23] <jgedeon> Flats wlan0 would be wireless and eth is wired ethernet
[04:23] <jgedeon> wireless can also be named ath on some cards.
[04:24] <jgedeon> But intels wireless cards are normally wlan
[04:24] <Flats> says eth1 on mine
[04:24] <jgedeon> Flats is it seeing your wireless card.
[04:24] <danbh_intrepid> Flats: if you want us to double check, just pastebin the results of iwconfig
[04:24] <duiu> What's a good program I can use to convert videos (mainly .iso, .flv, .avi and .mp4) to ipod-touch friendly formats? Any suggestions? A GUI would be nice...
[04:25] <Flats> heh that computer isn't online but I'll type it. Stand by and thanks
[04:26] <Flats> sorry bout that, must of hit a wrong key
[04:27] <danbh_intrepid> duiu: try this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/iPodVideoEncoding
[04:28] <MikeGeig> OK, so, after monkeying around some more, I finally got a grub menu to appear. All the entries are correct "ubuntu, recovery mode, and XP), however, when I choose any of them, I get a "Error 21: selected disk does not exist"
[04:31] <rano> sdfas
[04:31] <rano> gdfg
[04:32] <jgedeon> MikeGeig, can you pastebin a copy of the /boot/grub/menu.list
[04:32] <Flats> Sorry pastebin is http://paste.ubuntu.com/44096/ with the network card info
[04:32] <MikeGeig> !grub
[04:32] <danbh_intrepid> Flats: go figure, its eth1
[04:33] <duiu> exit
[04:33] <Flats> everything looks right to me, thats why I'm a bit stumped. Also, I don't have a hardware on/off switch, it's FN+F2 on the kybd in windows
[04:33] <jgedeon> First time I have seen that.
[04:33] <MikeGeig> jgedeon: I have to boot to live CD, one moment
[04:33] <jgedeon> ok
[04:34] <danbh_intrepid> Flats: sudo iwconfig eth1 essid StayOff key your_key
[04:34] <jgedeon> danbh_intrepid, Wouldn't that only be for wep?
[04:35] <MikeGeig> btw, do I have to type everyones name all the time, or is there a way to get it into my text box automatically
[04:35] <danbh_intrepid> jgedeon: I have no idea.  Its one of those, "works for me" kinda things
[04:35] <Flats> error for wireless request "set Encode (8B2A): invalid arument "my password" and of course I'm using the proper password
[04:35] <jgedeon> MikeGeig, What do you mean.
[04:36] <weboide> MikeGeig: write some letters and then hit Tab, if you're using Xchat
[04:36] <MikeGeig> weboide: ah, thank you
[04:36] <Flats> I am using WPA2 +TKIP if it matters
[04:36] <jgedeon> Flats can you manually enter the information in Network Manager?
[04:36] <Flats> yes and I've done that
[04:36] <jgedeon> Still didn't connect?
[04:37] <Flats> No it's like the adapter isn't active
[04:37] <Flats> like not turned on
[04:37] <jgedeon> Have you tried pressing FN+F2 it might be tied to the actuall system/
[04:37] <redvamp128> anyone want a challenge?
[04:37] <Flats> almost as if I did a FN+F2 in windows, it would work but not sure what Ubuntu's on/off switch is for the card if any
[04:38] <bobertdos> redvamp128: Challenges are what we're all about.
[04:38] <redvamp128> Okay I have a second hard drive-
[04:38] <jgedeon> Flats it might be tied to the hardware to turn it on.  Like the sound is normally.
[04:38] <ScheissDroge1> challenger, nasa,lol
[04:38] <redvamp128> I already have setup a Swap File of 2gig on it... but unless I use G-parted
[04:39] <redvamp128> Ubuntu won't use it
[04:39] <MikeGeig> jgedeon: well, under my live CD, there is no /boot/grub
[04:39] <MikeGeig> jgedeon: so...I cant paste it for you
[04:39] <jgedeon> MikeGeig, Mount the drive.
[04:39] <Flats> no I can even ping the IP of the wireless adapter
[04:39] <MikeGeig> jgedeon: which one?
[04:39] <ScheissDroge1> redvamp128:edited fstab ?
[04:39] <Flats> but can't get to the router
[04:39] <Guest23506> Is there a way to recover my deleted root account (sudo doesn't even work)?
[04:39] <Flats> or gateway
[04:39] <MikeGeig> jgedeon: how can I tell which one?>
[04:39] <redvamp128> When I boot with my - Puppy LInux it automatically useses it
[04:40] <redvamp128> fstab?
[04:40] <jgedeon> I've also had times that I had to restart networking after putting the information in manually in NM.
[04:40] <ScheissDroge1> redvamp128:a file which tells linux where are which partitions
[04:40] <redvamp128> also ran into isssue with a created JFS3 partion
[04:40] <bobertdos> redvamp128: Yes, fstab. Add an entry for the swap partition into fstab.
[04:41] <redvamp128> where it would not let me write to it
[04:41] <Flats> the /etc/init.d/networking stop and start?
[04:41] <redvamp128> so I ended up formating it to Fat32
[04:41] <Flats> I did that a few times
[04:41] <ScheissDroge1> redvamp128:open a terminal...
[04:41] <redvamp128> scheiss can I pm you
[04:41] <ScheissDroge1> redvamp128:shure
[04:41] <redvamp128> so not to confuse it with other help going on
[04:42] <jgedeon> restart is all you needed to do..  it does the stop and start
[04:42] <Flats> OK I wasn't sure
[04:42] <MikeGeig> !paste
[04:43] <Flats> Is there a way to uninstall/reinstall the drivers ( not to sound like a windows junkie....but I am )
[04:43] <MikeGeig> jgedeon: ok, my menu.lst is here http://paste.ubuntu.com/44100/
[04:44] <jStefan> Hello, I can get sound from all of my 5.1 speakers but I can't get surround to work correctly. Seems all it's doing is sending "Stereo" output to all my speakers. How can I get true 5.1 output?
[04:44] <spiritssight> having hard time seeing a windows share folder on ubuntu, any help would be great
[04:44] <jgedeon> MikeGeig, is this a large single drive?
[04:44] <MikeGeig> jgedeon: Yes, a large single drive with 2 partitions
[04:44] <bobertdos> spiritssight: Do you have Samba installed?
[04:45] <spiritssight> Yes I believe so
[04:45] <jStefan> How can I get true 5.1 sound output from Ubuntu?
[04:45] <spiritssight> I did it a little while ago so if it was not now it is
[04:45] <bobertdos> spiritssight: mshome workgroup, right?
[04:45] <jgedeon> MikeGeig, do you have a pastebin of your fsck?
[04:45] <spiritssight> yes
[04:46] <MikeGeig> jgedeon: I can get it, where is fsck?
[04:46] <SudoKing> Is there a way to recover my deleted root account (sudo doesn't even work)?
[04:46] <dr_willis> SudoKing,  you mean you deleted your first user account? the one with sudo rights?
[04:46] <jgedeon> MikeGeig, hold on.
[04:46] <dres> jStefan: what are you playing?
[04:46] <SudoKing> well I wasn't the one who did it but the root account (not the regular user account) was deleted
[04:47] <jStefan> DVD movie
[04:47] <ambrose> what irc do i go to, to get dhcp info
[04:47] <dres> jStefan: with what program?
[04:47] <shyam_k> hi the metapackages language-support-foo contains those things worked with launchpad?
[04:47] <jStefan> dres, totem
[04:47] <dr_willis> SudoKing,  err.. the first user under ubuntu has 'sudo' rights, and  does all the root stuff. You normally cant login directly as root.. and im not sure how you would 'delete' the root account.
[04:47] <ambrose> my dhcp send me ip addresses that dont let me connect to the internet
[04:48] <spiritssight> bobertdos: yes I believe that is correct mshome or eagle_network in caps
[04:48] <SudoKing> dr_willis: I am not able to start/stop any services, nor su to root, or use sudo .. I am using the original account
[04:48] <dres> jStefan: have you gone into prefs-audio and chosen 5.1?
[04:48] <dan__> Hello all --- i'm new to irc --- can anyone recommend some networks to join to find channels with intellectual meaningful discussions ... ?? or am i fishing in the wrong place altogehter !!
[04:48] <bobertdos> spiritssight: Might just want to double check for Samba. So, it is Ubuntu that can't see a Windows share?
[04:48] <ambrose> any one
[04:48] <SudoKing> dr_willis: I'm pretty sure it was done using userdel
[04:48]  * jgedeon wonders is hd2,5 should be hd2,2
[04:48] <jStefan> dres, yep
[04:48] <dr_willis> SudoKing,  you mean your 'first' users account now - no longer has 'sudo' access?
[04:48] <SudoKing> dr_willis: No I mean the root account is lost with the first user account intact
[04:48] <spiritssight> if you don't mind bobertdos I am going PM you as the traffice is a little tomuch for my eyes to follow
[04:49] <Drk_Guy> Is there any Stereo Mixer in Ubuntu?
[04:49] <dres> jStefan: ok.  what I can tell you is that I get 5.1 sound on some movies and not others and haven't figured out the pattern yet.  so I know it'll do it.
[04:49] <SudoKing> root doesn't exist
[04:49] <shadowhywind> hay all having a pit of a problem with ssh, i do ssh 192.168.2.78 -p#### i get ssh:connect to host 192.168.2.78 -p#### port 22: connection refused
[04:49] <ambrose> Hey set up a dhcp sever and it sends me ip addresses that dont allow me to connect to the internet
[04:49] <dres> jStefan: how many have you tried?
[04:49] <Drk_Guy> Really want a cool track that is only on a flash stream
[04:49] <bobertdos> spiritssight: that's fine
[04:49] <jStefan> dres. i tried plenty, and also wav and ogg files on the internet
[04:49] <ambrose> its really weird
[04:50] <jStefan> dres, i get ouput from all speakers, but it sounds like an upstream from stereo
[04:50] <dres> jStefan: have you looked at your sound card module options?
[04:50] <MikeGeig> jgedeon: was that emote intended for me?
[04:50] <Drk_Guy> Is there any Stereo Mixer in Ubuntu?
[04:50] <jStefan> dres, where do i go?
[04:50] <jgedeon> MikeGeig, Just looking something up.
[04:50] <weboide> Drk_Guy: gnome-volume-control ?
[04:50] <MikeGeig> jgedeon: ok
[04:51] <dres> jStefan: look in alsa docs or at the alsa website for the options available for your sound card.
[04:51] <Drk_Guy> weboide, haven't tried that
[04:51] <Jesus> ,
[04:51] <xim> Ziroday: you were talking to Xime not me
[04:52] <jStefan> dres, this not something that can be fixed via gui?
[04:52] <Drk_Guy> weboide, nope
[04:52] <dres> jStefan: I don't know the gui that'll do it.
[04:52] <Ziroday> Xim: yeah I know, apologies
[04:52] <jgedeon> on the mounted file system in /dev/ do you show hda or sda?
[04:53] <MikeGeig> jgedeon: how do I check that?
[04:54] <jgedeon> open the drive on the computer with natuilus
[04:54] <MikeGeig> jgedeon: when I open it, it is listed as /media/disk/
[04:54] <Drk_Guy> Is there any Stereo Mixer in Ubuntu?
[04:55] <jgedeon> Ok
[04:56] <doggymenz> Drk_Guy, sorry no Ubuntu sucks
[04:56] <jgedeon> MikeGeig, does the system boot to any OS?
[04:56] <Ziroday> Drk_Guy: you mean an equalizer?
[04:56] <Drk_Guy> doggymenz, ubuntu is the only easy-to-use respectable distro, please respect
[04:56] <MikeGeig> jgedeon: nope
[04:56] <jgedeon> OK
[04:56] <doggymenz> Drk_Guy, okay, there might be some Stereo Mixer in the repository, I dont know
[04:57] <Drk_Guy> Ziroday, nope. in windows, stereo mixer grabs what you hear
[04:57] <jStefan> dres: i cant seem to find what i need on the alsa website
[04:57] <arrix> help
[04:58] <jgedeon> In the grub menu.list try changing the hd2,5 to hd2,2 and do one step at a time and see if you can find the right partition.
[04:58] <dres> jStefan: what's your card?
[04:58] <jStefan> integrated Realtek
[04:58] <dr_willis> theres a great many 'mixers' in the repoistories.   depends onyour needs I guess.
[04:58]  * jgedeon remembers why I kept Windows and Linux off the same drive.  LOL
[04:58] <jStefan> i'll give you the chipset in a second
[04:58] <phantomcircuit> "Your audio capture settings are invalid. Please correct them in the Multimedia settings."
[04:58] <MikeGeig> jgedeon: when you say "one step at a time" do you mean, change menu.ls, then reboot and try, and repeat until I have found the right partition?
[04:59] <jStefan> Realtek ALC883 8 Channel Audio Codec
[04:59] <Benalex> MikeGeig you can change the partition to boot from at the grub menu it self... press E to edit each item in the menu
[04:59] <jStefan> dres, see above
[04:59] <arrix> my ubuntu PRIMARY and CLIPBOARD are using the same buffer. Selecting text will overwrite the ctrl+c clipboard. Is there a setting to separate them?
[04:59] <doggymenz> MikeGeig, maybe 'sudo fdisk -l' can be of help
[05:00] <jgedeon> MikeGeig, Yes.  I think it is either going to be hd2,2 hd2,3 or hd2,4 I think hd2,5 is the swap.
[05:00] <jgedeon> doggymenz, he is in livecd.
[05:00] <doggymenz> oh
[05:00] <MikeGeig> jgedeon:  doggymenz: Benalex: trying it now
[05:00] <jgedeon> can't fdisk a drive that isn't mounted.
[05:01] <dr_willis> arrix,  there are some clipboard tools that can manage those (gclipper perhaps?) is one.
[05:01] <dres> jStefan: what's the module name?  (lsmod | grep snd)
[05:01] <Drk_Guy> no one has any idea of how can i make a stereo mix recording?
[05:02] <MikeGeig> jgedeon: OK, I tried (hd2,2-6) and none worked
[05:02] <arrix> dr_willis: I tried glipper, but still the same. I didn't have this problem before. I think I accidentally made the primary and clipboard using the same buffer
[05:02] <phantomcircuit> "Your audio capture settings are invalid. Please correct them in the Multimedia settings."

[05:17] <jgedeon> EInsider, No I don't use sound really.
[05:17] <EInsider> know anyone in here that could help?
[05:17] <jStefan> dres. my sound is mixed before it gets to the speakers, eg: center channel is evenly split between left and right, and rear sounds are on left and right too
[05:17] <dres> jStefan: does "aplay -L" show surround51?

[05:19] <jStefan> dres: how can i check that?
[05:19] <_anthonyc> Jordan_U
[05:19] <jgedeon> MikeGeig, Try hd0,1
[05:19] <neoender> i've been trying synaptic, apt get and none of them can remove it
[05:20] <mn> dewcool YIM and MSN messenger
[05:20] <wng-> neoender: try reinstalling then removing, i bet that'd work
[05:20] <dewcool> for ubuntu
[05:20] <dres> jStefan: look in ~/.config/totem/xine_config
[05:20] <neoender> wont let me reinstall because it sees that the package in installed and it messed up the install script
[05:20] <Jordan_U> _anthonyc: What is the output of "cat /proc/cmdline" ?
[05:20] <neoender> the package is OSS-linux
[05:20] <mn> dewcool: you could use those in wine probably.  Does kopete not work?
[05:21] <jStefan> dres, no such file
[05:21] <dewcool> will kopete work in ubuntu???
[05:21] <dewcool> or just kubuntu
[05:21] <zelrikriando> dewcool, it will
[05:21] <bobertdos> neoender: Have you tried apt-get purge? How about dpkg purge?
[05:21] <_anthonyc> splash is at the end
[05:21] <Dabbu> how to see network places in xubuntu
[05:21] <neoender> yup, tried both
[05:21] <EInsider> would this help
[05:21] <EInsider> http://www.4front-tech.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2054
[05:21] <wng-> neoender: try using apt-get with the --reinstall option?
[05:21] <zelrikriando> dewcool, some features will not work properly though (the keyring)
[05:21] <_anthonyc> Jordan_U: it "splashes" for a brief second, then before the loading bar finishes going back and forth, it goes text
[05:22] <EInsider> for you neoender
[05:22] <icedtea> where are the kerberos conf files in ubuntu?
[05:22] <EInsider> I have been trying to debug my own oss-linux
[05:22] <dres> jStefan: no such file and no such dir?
[05:22] <Flannel> _anthonyc: If it goes to text from a splash screen, that's usually because of some error.
[05:22] <jStefan> dres: dir contains only a state.ini file
[05:22] <MikeGeig> jgedeon: when I use hd0,1 the screen says starting up... and it just sits ere
[05:22] <dewcool> will ubuntu ever have a complete IM software????
[05:22] <C0nn0R> exit
[05:23] <_anthonyc> Flannel: I did resize the partition from a live CD
[05:23] <neoender> thanks einsider.. ill try that

[05:23] <neoender> haven't tried that yet
[05:23] <_anthonyc> dewcool: pidgin
[05:23] <jgedeon> The Windoes screen?
[05:23] <neoender> so you're not having luck with OSS either eh?
[05:23] <icedtea> hardcore, newegg.com?
[05:23] <dewcool> pidgin doesnt have webcam support
[05:23] <EInsider> I had it working...
[05:23] <mn> MikeGeig: did it work?
[05:23] <neoender> i installed OSS while alsa was running
[05:23] <dr_willis> hardcore,  get a external usb case. and  buy one you like to put in the case.
[05:23] <neoender> and i dont know if i was supposed to unload also first
[05:23] <neoender> or what
[05:23] <Jordan_U> _anthonyc: Perhaps try purging and re-installing usplash?
[05:23] <EInsider> neonder - what is your sound card
[05:23] <neoender> but it didn't work
[05:23] <EInsider> lspci

[05:23] <hardcore> i don't know where to look for them though
[05:24] <EInsider> can you get the output
[05:24] <hardcore> maybe i'll check staples and office max
[05:24] <hardcore> and wal mart
[05:24] <EInsider> there is a bug actually let me give you that to read as well
[05:24] <jStefan> dres, totem-gstreamer
[05:24] <_anthonyc> Jordan_U: you mean via apt/dpkg?

[05:24] <dr_willis> hardcore,  online would be cheaper. -  all those places tend to be overpriced. Walmart Might be 'ok'
[05:24] <mn> k

[05:25] <TrailWhisperer> I have a bunch of programs that are no longer needed and come up when I install something with apt to be autoremove. I don't want them to be removed, so is there someway to suppress the warning or keep them so to speak?
[05:25] <EInsider> it will... however installing it
[05:25] <EInsider> do you get a permissions type issue?
[05:25] <hardcore> some people may find this hard to believe, i found ubuntu to be much easier to set up and use than windows
[05:26] <EInsider> did you download it from oss-linux page?
[05:26] <EInsider> how are you installing it?
[05:26] <dr_willis> hardcore,  i dint find it hard to belive at all
[05:26] <Jordan_U> TrailWhisperer: sudo apt-get install them or aptitude markauto them
[05:26] <hardcore> oh ok cool

[05:26] <TrailWhisperer> Jordan_U, thanks :)

[05:28] <EInsider> so what is your error?
[05:28] <jgedeon> MikeGeig, you don't want to know my honest answer do you?
[05:28] <MikeGeig> BiteMeBill: hd0,0 does not work, hd0,1 hangs my system
[05:28] <MikeGeig> jgedeon: feel free to give me your honest answer
[05:28] <neoender> i forget the exact error message
[05:28] <neoender> but it was something like hardware not found
[05:28] <Bob24> hello
[05:28] <jgedeon> MikeGeig, What screen is showing when it freezes.
[05:29] <Bob24> is ther a way of playing 1 video file after the next etc on Mythbuntu?
[05:29] <khin> hey i would like to resize my vista partition to make room for another xp partition. however i opened up gparted in ubuntu and cannot resize the vista partition. how do i accomplish this
[05:29] <Bob24> i have too keep playing video files seperatley
[05:29] <MikeGeig> jgedeon:  starting up...
[05:29] <jStefan> dres, totem-xine still gives mixed stereo
[05:29] <neoender> anyone know how to search for a work in vi?
[05:29] <neoender> i used to know vi
[05:29] <neoender> but it's been a while
[05:29] <neoender> im looking for the oss linux line
[05:29] <EInsider> /oss
[05:29] <darren> khin i belive you have to do it from a live cd gparted disk
[05:29] <jgedeon> MikeGeig, My honest answer would be to wave a finger at M$ and then your hand and just get rid of windows.  If you REALLY need it just run it in VirtualBox
[05:29] <EInsider> just use a slash
[05:29] <neoender> thanks
[05:29] <joejoecircusboy> neoender: try '/'
[05:29] <arvind_khadri> khin, for resizing the partitions should be unmounted
[05:29] <MikeGeig> mn: no it doesnt
[05:29] <EInsider> that will grep
[05:30] <neoender> yup
[05:30] <neoender> worked
[05:30] <neoender> found it
[05:30] <khin> arvind_khadri i did unmount the vista partition
[05:30] <hardcore> i don't understand the whole virtual box thing
[05:30] <Bob24> is ther a way of playing 1 video file after the next etc on Mythbuntu?
[05:30] <arvind_khadri> khin, a NTFS??
[05:30] <MikeGeig> jgedeon: lets put this into perspective, I didnt just spend my entire day trying to get windows to work, that was linux
[05:30] <EInsider> I got my sound fixed
[05:30] <jgedeon> MikeGeig, And Linux works and windows doesn't.
[05:30] <neoender> command to delete entire line?
[05:30] <neoender> in vi?
[05:30] <khin> arvind_khadri yes. i am in ubuntu. i cannot resize the unmounted ntfs
[05:30] <hardcore> congrats
[05:30] <Sn007ake> NOOBIE question..... I'm trying to install A program i downloaded on Ubuntu (heardy heron)  it's a bin file..... And im unsure how to run the file ( having problems )
[05:31] <joejoecircusboy> neoender: google 'vi tutorial'
[05:31] <arvind_khadri> khin, you need to have ntfs-3g
[05:31] <EInsider> also neoender have you tried to uninstall alsa
[05:31] <hardcore> anyone having trouble playing dvds just install vlc, it works just fine
[05:31] <mn> MikeGeig:  Hrmm, well the 5 is just what I had to use on my system.  You need to use the output of find /boot/grub/stagel
[05:31] <EInsider> apt-get remove alsa-*
[05:31] <EInsider> that might work...
[05:31] <MikeGeig> jgedeon: yes, after 9 hours, I can hack grub to get ubuntu to load, I am not so sure linux is right for me
[05:31] <Jordan_U> neoender: I recommend running "vimtutor"
[05:31] <jgedeon> MikeGeig, I wonder if the Windows partition was borked in some way with all the work on it the system.
[05:31] <EInsider> I wonder if there is a coflect
[05:31] <neoender> should i remove alsa first?
[05:31] <khin> arvind_khadri can i do it from a gparted live cd
[05:31] <joejoecircusboy> MikeGeig: What's the problem?
[05:31] <MikeGeig> jgedeon: thats a possibility
[05:31] <Flannel> MikeGeig: Sorry, just got here.  Mind summarizing?  I doubt you'll need to hack anything.
[05:31] <EInsider> I am not sure
[05:31] <Dabbu> i just installed but i am not seeing computer and network places...any help
[05:31] <EInsider> I just did it and it worked for me ..
[05:32] <arvind_khadri> khin, yeah you can...thats the best way to do :)
[05:32] <adante> hello, how can i tell if my drives have dma enabled? hdparm gives teh HDIO_GET_DMA failed error
[05:32] <khin> ok
[05:32] <EInsider> not sure if it will work for you
[05:32] <Rat409> Sn007ake: if its marked executable generally from same folder, ./bla.bin
[05:32] <neoender> so you did apt-get remove alsa-*
[05:32] <amanulla>  W h a t i s t h e fi n al ve r s i o n o f B S D ?
[05:32] <Bob24> is ther a way of playing 1 video file after the next etc on Mythbuntu?
[05:32] <jgedeon> MikeGeig, you could repair the windows system and the reinstall grub now that you know what the correct drive settings are.
[05:32] <Guest11351> I am writing a script shell and I am looking for a page where it up load audio english files, do you know where ?
[05:32] <Bob24> i have too keep playing video files seperatley
[05:32] <neoender> while your soundcard was being driven by alsa?
[05:32] <arvind_khadri> khin, and if you are using live cd you need to have ntfstools
[05:33] <neoender> or do i have to ban the alsa modules and reboot before i remove alsa
[05:33] <EInsider> no... I had already unistalled it
[05:33] <jgedeon> Hmmmm...  MikeGeig what does the system do if you just try hd0 for the Windows boot????
[05:33] <EInsider> I was messing around with codecs
[05:33] <amanulla>  W h at i s t h e fi n al ve r s i o n o f B S D ?  any one plss
[05:33] <MikeGeig> jgedeon: yes... I may try that, the problem is I did so many things just to get a grub menu, I have no idea how to get back here
[05:33] <Sn007ake> Rat give me this in ( slow terms ) Im really Noob with the commands
[05:33] <EInsider> I think they would just be pointers though...
[05:33] <Jordan_U> amanulla: Which BSD?
[05:33] <jgedeon> Write down hd0,5
[05:33] <hardcore> i see compiz stuff on youtube that i don't find in the effects menu
[05:33] <EInsider> but I would love to get your error message
[05:33] <MikeGeig> jgedeon: what do you mean just hd0? like (hd0)? not (hd0,x)
[05:33] <neoender> so how did you uninstall it the first time
[05:33] <jgedeon> Yes
[05:33] <neoender> alsa
[05:34] <EInsider> sudo apt-get remove alsa (tab to see all the alsa things installed)
[05:34] <MikeGeig> jgedeon: one second, let me try
[05:34] <jgedeon> MikeGeig, have you saved your menu.list?
[05:34] <EInsider> so you might type "apt-get remove alsa-packages alsa-source" etc.
[05:34] <Rat409> Sn007ake: open gnome-terminal cd to the folder ./name.bin if it says no  permission chmod a+x name.bin then do ./name.bin again
[05:34] <MikeGeig> jgedeon: not that I am aware of
[05:34] <gotama> Hi! Where can I define the default session and language for a user working on a thin-client machine LTSP? I often have to select session and language but there should be another way for a default session. Help Please.
[05:34] <neoender> and you can do this
[05:34] <neoender> while alsa is running your sound card>?
[05:34] <jgedeon> Then save it so you don't have to keep working it to get in..
[05:34] <arvind_khadri> hardcore, most of the effects come from the latest compiz and compled plugins
[05:34] <Bob24> is ther a way of playing 1 video file after the next etc on Mythbuntu?
[05:34] <jgedeon> That way Ubuntu will boot no matter what.
[05:34] <EInsider> I think they are just pointers to the sound card
[05:35] <EInsider> make sure all your sound programs are off
[05:35] <EInsider> like close them completely
[05:35] <jStefan> going to restart, brb
[05:35] <EInsider> I think when you run sudo it will take over though
[05:35] <hardcore> doesn't updates give us the latest plugins?
[05:35] <joejoecircusboy> Bob24: Two TV recordings, or two media viles?
[05:35] <MikeGeig> jgedeon: when I try hd0, I get "GRUB loading stage 1.5Read error"
[05:35] <EInsider> so if you do a sudo apt-get remove it will probably kill and override everything
[05:35] <hardcore> i mean the latest compiz?
[05:35] <EInsider> anyone else have more experience than me...
[05:35] <BiteMeBill> OK.
[05:35] <EInsider> I am programmer but no OS experience
[05:35] <arvind_khadri> hardcore, they give you the latest ones in the repos :)
[05:35] <BiteMeBill> Then it is something with hd0,1
[05:35] <neoender> ok
[05:35] <neoender> im going to try it now
[05:36] <MikeGeig> Flannel: joejoecircusboy: basically, I have a grub menu (finally) and I can get ubuntu to load, but not XP, I get a read write error when I try
[05:36] <hardcore> i remember after i installed hardy heron i uninstalled evolution and my system froze. isn't that weird
[05:36] <arvind_khadri> EInsider, apt-get remove just un-installs the package
[05:36] <hardcore> i thought the latest repos come with updates
[05:36] <grizlo42> hi i have a dual boot
[05:36] <joejoecircusboy> MikeGeig: Did you pastebin your grub.conf?
[05:36] <neoender> when i did it
[05:36] <hardcore> it is a supported app
[05:36] <grizlo42> and i want my windows shared folder to be shared while im in linux too
[05:36] <neoender> it said it was going to remove ubuntu desktop
[05:37] <neoender> so i figured i shouldn't do that
[05:37] <grizlo42> but when i try to share it
[05:37] <arvind_khadri> hardcore, repo's come with updates of whatever has been made Ubuntu usable
[05:37] <grizlo42> it says the permissions aren't right
[05:37] <neoender> so i think i'll just remove alsa-base
[05:37] <neoender> and see what happens
[05:37] <hardcore> oh ok thanks
[05:37] <Flannel> MikeGeig: What's the exact error? And do you have your menu.lst and fdisk -l pastebinned somewhere?
[05:37] <neoender> is that what you did?
[05:37] <grizlo42> and if i try to change them, it just changes them right back
[05:37] <Bob24> joejoecircusboy: i want to play all files in a folder
[05:37] <hardcore> how do you type text where i see it in red?
[05:37] <EInsider> make sure to remove all alsa items
[05:37] <EInsider> are you prompted with more?
[05:37] <MikeGeig> joejoecircusboy: no I didnt, I will, Flannel: http://paste.ubuntu.com/44100/
[05:37] <arvind_khadri> !tab | hardcore
[05:37] <joejoecircusboy> Bob24: Ah, not sure how to do that
[05:37] <Flannel> hardcore: that's all done by the client.  We include your name on the line.
[05:38] <Flannel> joejoecircusboy: see the thing he just pasted
[05:38] <hardcore> so i type tab, the name, then whatever i want?
[05:38] <Flannel> MikeGeig: Ubuntu doesn't use grub.conf, uses menu.lst instead
[05:38] <neoender> what was the command you used to unisntall alsa?
[05:38] <Flannel> MikeGeig: and the output of sudo fdisk -l?
[05:38] <neoender> i tried apt-get remove alsa
[05:38] <SurfnKid> hello...
[05:38] <EInsider> sudo apt-get remove alsa-*
[05:38] <EInsider> try that
[05:38] <hardcore> did it work?
[05:39] <ranicle> hello folks
[05:39] <SurfnKid> what is a good live usb iso program to set up my usb to boot to a live linux session?
[05:39] <joejoecircusboy> MikeGeig: Ya, I meant the menu.lst (THinking of Redhat)
[05:39] <arvind_khadri> hardcore, no...first the few letters of the name then hit tab... so the name is completed
[05:39] <hardcore> oh ok
[05:39] <hardcore> arvind_khadri, can ya see the red?
[05:39] <ranicle> anyone here have experience installing drivers? as far as compiling them that is
[05:39] <arvind_khadri> hardcore, ya :)
[05:39] <Benalex> SurfnKid use pendrivelinux.com
[05:39] <neoender> wow
[05:39] <hardcore> ok cool, thanks man
[05:39] <ScheissDroge1> ﻿grizlo42:is there an entry inftab for that win-share ?
[05:39] <arvind_khadri> ranicle, which drivers??
[05:40] <neoender> that gives me like 102 packages to remove
[05:40] <hardcore> arvind_khadri, ok cook, thanks man
[05:40] <BiteMeBill> MikeGeig: that is your old one.  You already know that you need to edit /boot/grub/menu.list and change hd2,5 to hd0,5
[05:40] <ranicle> the HOSTap ones
[05:40] <Jordan_U> !anyone | ranicle
[05:40] <neoender> kinda scary
[05:40] <neoender> should i say yes?
[05:40] <Sn007ake> Wow thanks rat that worked out for me ..... so ./  is just a command to run the file or something?
[05:40] <grizlo42> ScheissDroge1: there is for the entire partition, but not specifically for that folder
[05:40] <ranicle> i am trying to install the drivers for a HOSTAP PRIZM card
[05:40] <Jordan_U> neoender: Why are you removing alsa?
[05:40] <EInsider> hmm lets slow it down a bit
[05:40] <arvind_khadri> Sn007ake, not really ... '.' signifies present directory and '/' is the path
[05:41] <ScheissDroge1> ﻿grizlo42:partition /foldername ?  ur username ?
[05:41] <MikeGeig> Flannel: here is my fdisk http://paste.ubuntu.com/44112/
[05:41] <ScheissDroge1> partition
[05:41] <arvind_khadri> Sn007ake, and if the filename after that is executable ...it executes :)
[05:41] <Rat409> Sn007ake: yes it means run the script and that its in the same folder your user is in,same working directory
[05:41] <neoender> jordan, because i want to install OSS
[05:41] <MikeGeig> Flannel: here is my updated menu.ls http://paste.ubuntu.com/44113/
[05:41] <Flannel> MikeGeig: and you said Windows boot(ed|s) fine like this, assuming you took GRUB out?
[05:42] <Dabbu> is there any way i can acess network places in xubuntu ?
[05:42] <neoender> Einsider, i was thinking of trying what this webpage says http://www.ubuntu-unleashed.com/2007/10/get-better-sound-in-ubuntu-with-brand.html
[05:42] <grizlo42> # /dev/sda2
[05:42] <grizlo42> UUID=D820ABF620ABDA30 /windows/c      ntfs    defaults,umask=000,gid=46 0       1
[05:42] <EInsider> that would only be if you tried to install oss before and it failed somehow
[05:42] <hardcore> did anyone else uninstall evolution and their system freeze on startup?
[05:42] <Flannel> MikeGeig: wait, that second one is your current menu.lst, and the fstab is your current fstab?  How did Linux get on hd0?
[05:42] <SurfnKid> Damn Small Linux is good?
[05:42] <grizlo42> but nothing specifically about all users/documents
[05:42] <hardcore> that was on my toshiba laptop. i use ibm now
[05:42] <neoender> EInsider so did you remove 102 packages?
[05:42] <hardcore> works great so far
[05:42] <EInsider> cancel out of there...
[05:43] <EInsider> I want to get a better visual...
[05:43] <neoender> ok
[05:43] <MikeGeig> Flannel: the emotion you just experienced has been the confusion of my entire day
[05:43] <ScheissDroge1> ﻿grizlo42           partition /foldername ?  ur username ?
[05:43] <EInsider> sudo apt-get remove alsa- (then hit tab
[05:43] <hardcore> system didn't freeze actually, it just showed the wallpaper and nothing else to click on, at all
[05:43] <EInsider> can you copy and paste the packages
[05:43] <neoender> ok
[05:43] <EInsider> from your terminall?
[05:43] <EInsider> thanks
[05:43] <Flannel> MikeGeig: Ok, so... Did you change your BIOS or something?  Are these all the same disk type (IDE, SATA, etc) or what?
[05:43] <neoender> ill pm to ya
[05:43] <hardcore> but i learned my lesson and never uninstalled evolution sense
[05:43] <BiteMeBill> Flannel: those aren't his currents cause he hasn't saved it.
[05:43] <grizlo42> ScheissDroge1: I don't know what you mean by partition /foldername/ ur username?
[05:43] <MikeGeig> the 250 gb is an IDE, the other 2 are SATA that are in a raid 1
[05:44] <MikeGeig> Flannel: I dont know how to get ubuntu to recognize a raid
[05:44] <ScheissDroge1> ﻿grizlo42           whats the ntfs device called ? /dev/sdXXX .....
[05:44] <Flannel> MikeGeig: What disk does your BIOS boot to?  Ubuntu?
[05:44] <grizlo42> /dev/sda2
[05:44] <MikeGeig> BiteMeBill: actually, I made the changes and uploaded it
[05:44] <Flannel> MikeGeig: er, sdc?
[05:44] <Flannel> MikeGeig: Or, rather, where is stage1?
[05:44] <MikeGeig> Flannel: I dont know, it boots to a grub menu
[05:45] <Flannel> MikeGeig: What disk does your BIOS boot to?
[05:45] <joejoecircusboy> MikeGeig: That's probably the strangest disk/grub setup I've seen :)
[05:45] <MikeGeig> Flannel: my IDE
[05:45] <Flannel> MikeGeig: So, the one with the slew of partitions, correct?
[05:45] <MikeGeig> Flannel: yes
[05:45] <hardcore> i hope making random comments don't get annoying, i do that sometimes
[05:45] <MikeGeig> joejoecircusboy: thanks, I figured as much
[05:45] <gge> hello , when setting up a dual monitors config with ATI config for "big desktop" mode and not "dual head" mode , I wrongly run aticonfig --initial=dual-head etc instead of --dtop==horizontal --overlay-on=1 .  When I run now this last command it fails . How I can change to Big Desktop mode ?
[05:45] <grizlo42> ScheissDroge1: /dev/sda2
[05:45] <BiteMeBill> MikeGeig: the ones you are showing in pastebin has hd2,5 as the drive and partition for ubuntu when you found it is hd0,5
[05:45] <Flannel> MikeGeig: Alright.  Try changing your menu.lst to hd0,0 for windows, and comment out the mapping.
[05:46] <Flannel> BiteMeBill: the first one, not the second one.
[05:46] <MikeGeig> BiteMeBill: oh, I must have pasted the wrong link, I did upload the new one
[05:46] <ksoviero> are there any chat rooms to talk about ubuntu bugs, etc...?
[05:46] <ScheissDroge1> ﻿grizlo42           name of the folder (including path ) ?
[05:46] <SurfnKid> hi is Damn Small Linux is good?
[05:47] <Flannel> SurfnKid: Please ask in #ubuntu-offtopic, not here, thanks.
[05:47] <MikeGeig> Flannel: BiteMeBill I am in ubuntu now, how do I make changes to menu.ls, it says I do not have permission
[05:47] <SurfnKid> oops
[05:47] <SurfnKid> right on
[05:47] <hardcore> i found the funniest link i'll show yall
[05:47] <Flannel> MikeGeig: alt-f2, gksu gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
[05:47] <BiteMeBill> MikeGeig: Sudo
[05:47] <grizlo42> ScheissDroge1: of the shared drive in windows or of the mount point for the partition?
[05:47] <Flannel> hardcore: Please don't show it here.  This is a support channel, not a chat channel.  go to #ubuntu-offtopic for social chatter.
[05:47] <hardcore> http://www.stumbleupon.com/demo/?review=1#url=http://www.annoyances.org/exec/show/article09-115 i think yall will find this ammusing
[05:48] <ScheissDroge1> ﻿grizlo42           name of the folder (in windows)
[05:48] <hardcore> oh ok, i'm sorry
[05:48] <MikeGeig> Flannel: do I also want to comment out the chainloader?
[05:48] <ScheissDroge1> ﻿grizlo42           name of the folder (including path ) ?
[05:48] <neoender> sent to you via pm
[05:48] <Jordan_U> SurfnKid: I wouldn't use it as an installed distro, it's nice on a small USB key, the hardware support isn't as good as other distros but it's better with DSL-N which among other things uses linux 2.6 rather than 2.4
[05:48] <Flannel> MikeGeig: no, leave that.  Just the two maps, and change it to hd0,0
[05:48] <grizlo42> C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\
[05:48] <grizlo42> i want that entire folder and subfolders shared
[05:48] <jStefan> dres, while the movie is playing, if i click the properties i see "Stereo" below "AC-3 audio"
[05:49] <BiteMeBill> MikeGeig: Not hd0,0 it was hd0,1 that get the startup screen for windows.
[05:49] <Rat409>  /cl
[05:50] <dres> jStefan: hrm.  I can't think of anything else.
[05:50] <grizlo42> ScheissDroge1: ﻿C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\
[05:50] <grizlo42> i always forget the name part......
[05:50] <grizlo42> :D
[05:50] <icedtea> how do you enable root login?
[05:50] <MikeGeig> YAHTZEE!
[05:50] <jStefan> dres, thanks for the help
[05:50] <joejoecircusboy> icedtea: just use 'sudo -i'
[05:50] <bobertdos> !noroot | icedtea
[05:50] <ScheissDroge1> ﻿grizlo42         ur username in ubuntu ?
[05:50] <dres> jStefan: sorry couldn't come up with a solution.
[05:50] <MikeGeig> BiteMeBill: Flannel: joejoecircusboy: Yes!, this is what did it http://paste.ubuntu.com/44114/
[05:50] <Jordan_U> icedtea: Why do you want to log in as root?
[05:51] <grizlo42> ScheissDroge1: steve
[05:51] <Flannel> MikeGeig: right.  Everythign's working now, yes?
[05:51] <joejoecircusboy> MikeGeig: Congrats!  (I was wondering about those maps, myself)
[05:51] <bobertdos> !rootsudo > icedtea
[05:51] <icedtea> well I just ran ntpdate and now sudo is complaining about a timestamp being to far in the future which is why I'm trying to run as root
[05:51] <MikeGeig> Flannel: yes, i can boot windows and I can boot ubuntu
[05:52] <dunas> How often do you, on average, have to log out or reboot from your Ubuntu? Not counting turning off the computer overnight, if that's your thing (it's not mine, I just trust it to standby and be quiet.)
[05:52] <joejoecircusboy> Flannel: What were the map lines doing in there?
[05:52] <MikeGeig> I just clocked myself at 14 hours working on this
[05:52]  * BiteMeBill wonders how when you did manual hd0,1 it showed the startup screen for windows and hung...
[05:52] <Flannel> MikeGeig: The issue is likely that your SATA and PATA drive numbers got swapped around somehow.
[05:52] <ScheissDroge1> ﻿grizlo42        sudo chown steve /dev/sdb/﻿Documents and Settings\All Users\
[05:52] <MikeGeig> BiteMeBill: I have no idea myself, but im not going to look a gift horse in the mouth
[05:52] <ScheissDroge1> ﻿grizlo42         makes steve the owner of that folder
[05:52] <joejoecircusboy> hehe
[05:52] <grizlo42> ScheissDroge1: thanks
[05:52] <dr_willis> Flannel,  ive seen those #'s change on one of my machines If i use the  F11 - to select boot disk option., whatever disk i pick gets moved to hd0
[05:52] <BiteMeBill> Without a doubt.
[05:52] <Flannel> joejoecircusboy: the liveCD thought the partition it was booting windows was hd2,0, windows doesn't like not being on the first harddrive, so you can map them with grub to make windows not know anybere.
[05:53] <Flannel> joejoecircusboy: any better that is.
[05:53] <Flannel> dr_willis: yeah, some BIOSes do that too.
[05:53] <joejoecircusboy> Flannel: ah.. thx
[05:53] <grizlo42> ScheissDroge1: but its supposed to be sda2 not sdb right?
[05:53] <dr_willis> Flannel,  had me SO confused :) for a while
[05:53] <Flannel> MikeGeig: so, if you want, you can go in and *delete* those map lines (that you commented out) so no one gets confused by them in the future.
[05:53] <MikeGeig> you guys think YOU were confused?
[05:53] <ScheissDroge1> ﻿grizlo42        oh yeah
[05:53] <MikeGeig> Flannel: heh, ya, better go do that
[05:54] <MikeGeig> well, I huge thanks to everyone who helped. I award you all 5 internets
[05:54] <icedtea> bobertdos, so once su gets broken because of a clock issue with ntpdate will #ubuntu resolve all the issue of not having a root login to fix things?
[05:55] <Flannel> icedtea: do this: sudo -K
[05:55] <Flannel> icedtea: There's no reason to use the root account.
[05:55] <nikosapi> Why do I need to install some "resticted" packages to play Matroska video? The video contains Theora video and Vorbis audio so I don't understand why I should need to install anything...
[05:55] <joejoecircusboy> icedtea: clock issues? You using krb5?
[05:55] <dr_willis> someone asked about this clock-date sudo issue the other day. :)  was there some ntp-issue going on?
[05:56] <joejoecircusboy> icedtea: Note that you don't need a root password to boot into single user mode
[05:56] <MikeGeig> good night everyone
[05:56] <Flannel> joejoecircusboy: no, the sudo cache timestamp is checked, and ifits too far in the future, it has a safety, so it cant be tweaked
[05:56] <joejoecircusboy> MikeGeig: Later Mike
[05:56] <icedtea> I'm using ntpdate to get my clock update from an AD server
[05:56] <icedtea> joejoecircusboy, see ^^
[05:56] <joejoecircusboy> Flannel/icedtea: ah, ok
[05:57] <icedtea> Flannel: sudo: timestamp too far in the future: Sep  7 00:49:07 2008
[05:57] <Flannel> icedtea: sudo -k, if that doesn't work, sudo -K
[05:58] <icedtea> Flannel: its lame having to type sudo all the time imo
[05:58] <dunas> How often do you, on average, have to log out or reboot from your Ubuntu? Not counting turning off the computer overnight, if that's your thing (it's not mine, I just trust it to standby and be quiet.) I had problems with my last try at Ubuntu related to logging in/out and rebooting.
[05:58] <icedtea> su is great
[05:58] <jgedeon> Flannel, should be lower case
[05:58] <joejoecircusboy> icedtea: 'sudo -i' is the same as 'su -'
[05:59] <Flannel> jgedeon: first sudo -k, then sudo -K, it's both.  They do different, yet similar things.
[05:59] <see_> hey, my laptop toshiba satellite keep booting into read only hard disk
[05:59] <grizlo42> ScheissDroge1: i chowned it to me and then when i checked in nautilus, it was back to being root's file
[05:59] <Flannel> jgedeon: that is, if sudo -k doesn't work, try sudo -K
[05:59] <grizlo42> ScheissDroge1: every time i change the permissions it resets
[05:59] <jgedeon> Flannel, -K kills the timestamp entirely
[05:59] <neoender> bleh
[05:59] <neoender> OSS is a no go
[06:00] <Flannel> jgedeon: Yes.
[06:01] <icedtea> joejoecircusboy, sudo -i lets me avoid having to type sudo all the time?
[06:01] <see_> sudo anwser me
[06:01] <Flannel> icedtea: Is this a brand new install?
[06:02] <icedtea> Flannel: yes :)
[06:02] <grizlo42> ScheissDroge1: any ideas?
[06:02] <gge> W﻿hen setting up a dual monitors config with ATI config for "big desktop" mode and not "dual head" mode , I wrongly run aticonfig --initial=dual-head etc instead of --dtop==horizontal --overlay-on=1 .  When I run now this last command it fails . How I can change back to Big Desktop mode ?
[06:02] <Flannel> icedtea: Put up with sudo for a little bit.  In a small piece of time, you'll hardly use it at all.
[06:02] <joejoecircusboy> icedtea: 'sudo -i' will give you a root shell, exactly like 'su -' would....       'sudo -s' will give you a shell like 'su' would
[06:02] <pjwaffle_> Hi, I want to increase free software usage in my town sammamish starting with my Junior High I am a 7th grader... what are some tips to get people to try Ubuntu/SUSE... if there is a better place to ask please direct me
[06:03] <icedtea> I usually use debian, but I liked the ubuntu live cd so much I wanted to try it out on my nephews pc
[06:03] <Flannel> pjwaffle_: try Your LoCo team.  or even #ubuntu-locoteams in general
[06:03] <pjwaffle_> Thanks!
[06:03] <joseph> How can i find out what graphics card i have?
[06:04] <icedtea> joseph: type sudo lspci
[06:04] <joejoecircusboy> joseph: 'lspci' should help
[06:04] <neoender> anyone here familiar with OSS?

[06:04] <boog> Hi can someone show me how i  can install Java? im trying to play some yahoo games and it says i need java.
[06:04] <Flannel> !java | boog
[06:05] <joejoecircusboy> boog: http://ubuntuguide.org/ is good for these types of things too
[06:05] <jon_high9000> anybody know how to set up ubuntu to download torrents?
[06:05] <icedtea> -k and -K aren't working
[06:06] <Flannel> icedtea: what is the exact command you're trying?
[06:06] <jgedeon> jon_high9000, transmission should be installed by default.  It will download torrents
[06:06] <boog> ty guys for the help
[06:06] <Flannel> jon_high9000: there's a bittorrent client installed by default
[06:07] <joseph> icedtea: Thank you for the help, however i still dont know the model of my graphics card
[06:07] <jon_high9000> Flannel : i had tried to free up ports on firestarter but nothing happened.
[06:07] <bastid_raZor> joseph; lspci | grep vga
[06:07] <icedtea> sudo -k || sudo -k cp somefile somefile.old || sudo -K || sudo -K cp ....etc
[06:07] <icedtea> Flannel, ^^
[06:08] <Flannel> icedtea: `sudo -k` and `sudo -K` are the right ones.  And then you tried sudo again, and it gave what error?
[06:08] <bastid_raZor> joseph; VGA that is.
[06:08] <icedtea> sudo: timestamp too far in the future: Sep  7 00:49:07 2008
[06:09] <Flannel> icedtea: this is in a gnome-terminal or tty or what?
[06:09] <jon_high9000> Flannel : fyi, i could not get internet sharing enabled on firestarter. think that might be a problem?
[06:10] <wng-> Apparently the GDM theme I downloaded doesn't have a valid package file to install via gdmsetup, how would I go about installing it manually, there must be some directory i can extract it into
[06:10] <Flannel> jon_high9000: It may be contributing to your bittorrent problem.  But by default you don't have to do anything for bittorrent to work.
[06:11] <jon_high9000> ok. thanks
[06:11] <EInsider> neoonder are you back
[06:12] <icedtea> sorry about that, X died switching to a tty
[06:13] <anom01y> why is it that when I run alsa force-reload, and then kmix, I get different mixer settings every time
[06:13] <icedtea> Flannel, it was on gnome-terminal which is why -k wasn't working
[06:14] <icedtea> hrm only works on a tty
[06:14] <icedtea> thats a pain
[06:14] <Flannel> icedtea: That's odd.  Shouldn't happen that way.
[06:14] <Flannel> icedtea: That actually sounds somewhat like a bug.  Mind filing one?
[06:14] <icedtea> no not at all
[06:15] <Flannel> !bugs | icedtea
[06:15] <joseph> Im trying to play an online game called "runescape" it says the UbuntuAMD64 doesn't work well on the game. But im using the standard 32-bit intel version even though my processer is AMD64
[06:15] <bytor4232> I just installed on an Acer Travelmate.  The wireless will only work if I hit a button on the laptop to use the wireless device.  However, when I hit the button, network manager doesn't always recognize the wireless network right away.
[06:15] <azhar27> !java | boog
[06:16] <bytor4232> Sometimes I have to hit the button on and off several times.
[06:16] <icedtea> are radeon drivers for X buggy? I can't remember ever have X crash before with nvidia open source or closed sources ones
[06:16] <nke> trying to boot a [faulty] computer from cd so i can install ubuntu - but won't boot from cd and can't access BIOS
[06:16] <icedtea> I'm using compiz with all the bells and whistles turned on
[06:16] <nke> what do you do in a case like this?
[06:16] <tj83> nke... what kind brand age of computer?
[06:17] <nke> laptop ..
[06:17] <nke> tj83: do you need brand etc? hang on
[06:17] <bytor4232> Anyone know how I can increase the polling of Network Manager?
[06:17] <tj83> nke, brand and age sometimes requires a certain key or key-combo that is not displayed at the splash screen.
[06:18] <alicev> how can i karma use with ubuntu
[06:19] <nke> tj83, how do i get it then? owner of computer not here now with me and i doubt he would know either...
[06:19] <tj83> i'm asking what the brand is... and how old it is nke i might be able to guess or we can look it up :)
[06:19] <meoblast001> Ubuntu 8.04 = Vista
[06:20] <meoblast001> 7.10 ftw
[06:20] <icedtea> heh I was just going to upgrade to 8.04
[06:20] <Jordan_U> meoblast001: How so?
[06:20] <meoblast001> icedtea: you'll regret it
[06:20] <meoblast001> Jordan_U: sound doesnt work worth shit
[06:20] <meoblast001> you want to go on youtube, and  then you want to open up audacity... NOOO you cant do that
[06:21] <joseph> im setting ubuntu up for a friend i forgot how to get the "advanced desktop effects, any ideas?
[06:21] <meoblast001> cuz Flash just locked the fuck out of pulse
[06:21]  * tj83 runs 8.04 smoothly... sometimes hardware issue may apply to one when not another.
[06:21] <Jordan_U> meoblast001: Disable pulseaudio, problem solved :)
[06:21] <meoblast001> Jordan_U: is that even possible
[06:21] <tj83> nke, is that information available? who makes it?
[06:21] <Jordan_U> meoblast001: Yes, System -> Preferences -> Sound
[06:22] <nke> tj83: brand: evesham
[06:22] <anom01y> why is it that when I run alsa force-reload, and then kmix, I get different mixer settings every time
[06:22] <nke> tj83: age: not more than 2 years
[06:22] <phantomcircuit> "Your audio capture settings are invalid. Please correct them in the Multimedia settings."
[06:22] <meoblast001> Jordan_U: cant find anything in there about puse
[06:22] <tj83> nke.. eek, will try to look that one up :) never heard of that brand
[06:22] <Jordan_U> meoblast001: Just change all settings from automatic to ALSA
[06:22] <nke> me neither tj83 :)
[06:22] <joseph> how do i setup compiz (desktop cube, fire, etc.) to start how can i get it
[06:23] <meoblast001> Jordan_U: it froze
[06:23] <dr_willis> !compiz | joseph
[06:23] <Flannel> joseph: install either simple-ccsm or compizconfig-settings-manager to enable the cube and stuff.
[06:23] <arvind_khadri> !ccsm > joseph
[06:23] <meoblast001> Jordan_U: ahh it wont go away
[06:24] <joseph> Thanks guys
[06:25] <joseph> does anyone here have verizon FiOs wireless?
[06:25] <koshari> joseph first thing you need is working 3d graphics
[06:25] <tj83> nke, what have you tried? esc? del? f10, 12?
[06:25] <meoblast001> AHHHH
[06:25] <meoblast001> Audacity still cant play shit
[06:25] <tj83> nke, also what model?
[06:25] <jgedeon> meoblast001, watch the language
[06:26] <nke> tj83: Z7100
[06:26] <nke> says here ..
[06:26] <meoblast001> jgedeon: maybe they need to stop changing sound systems on us every 2 years
[06:26] <tj83> nke, still looking
[06:26] <nke> thanks tj83 :)
[06:26] <Jordan_U> meoblast001: It's only changed once
[06:26] <nke> appreciateit
[06:27] <dr_willis> we should go back to those little speakers in side the cases!
[06:27] <klos> anyone into ltsp servers and cleints ?
[06:28] <meoblast001> woohoo Audacity locked up
[06:28] <jgedeon> klos, what is your questions about ltsp?
[06:29] <Jordan_U> meoblast001: Are you sure you set everything to ALSA?
[06:29] <meoblast001> yes
[06:29] <klos> i was wondering about how desktop effects and stuff
[06:29] <Flynsarmy> Is there like a 'run' or 'start' command you can use to execute programs from the terminal?
[06:29] <meoblast001> i feel like im operating a mac here
[06:29] <klos> does it work thru ltsp ?
[06:29] <Jordan_U> meoblast001: You may need to log out
[06:29] <meoblast001> ok
[06:29] <jgedeon> klos, no I don't think it does.  don't think you would want it too.
[06:29] <arvind_khadri> Flynsarmy, you just need to type the program name and it works
[06:29] <joejoecircusboy> Flynsarmy: try ALT+F2  (for a full shell, do applications -> Accessories -> Terminal)
[06:29] <klos> ic
[06:30] <klos> jgedeon, im thinking about building a myth tv box. and thought about running all my pc applications off this one aswell using ltsp
[06:30] <tj83> nke, the manufacture does not even offer a user manual online! tons of forums like "laptop wont boot......etc" doesnt look good... better just try some keys
[06:30] <jgedeon> klos, your basically sending all graphics over the network to a thinclient with minimal hardware \
[06:30] <klos> i could save enrgy and space etc, how do you think it would work, having one server serving my whole unit
[06:30] <Flynsarmy> arvind_khadri, I know that. It's to do with a c program i'm writing. execv() can't handle text files, only programs. which brings me back to my original question. need a run command that would 'execute' whatever youre trying to run
[06:31] <nke> oh shit tj83 ... i have tried tht ...
[06:31] <nke> but thanks so much!
[06:31] <jgedeon> klos, you could do that but you won't have the desktop effects.
[06:31] <nke> can you paste some of those links?
[06:31] <klos> i prolly have one or two apple tvs as myth tv frontend and a thin client for my computing needs
[06:31] <tj83> nke i would try these in order esc, del, F2, ,F8, F10, F12 you have tried all of them?
[06:31] <klos> yea doenst matte rbaout the effects :)
[06:31] <nke> tj83: can you paste some of those links?
[06:31] <jgedeon> Not sure how much media you would be piping either.
[06:31] <joejoecircusboy> Flynsarmy: you want to run a script from within a C program?
[06:31] <nke> tj83: Yes :)
[06:31] <Flynsarmy> joejoecircusboy, we're writing a bash program
[06:31] <tj83> nke just google the make and model.. you will hit them
[06:32] <Jordan_U> Flynsarmy: system
[06:32] <tj83> nke, also expect sound issues. saw some trouble there also with ubuntu
[06:32] <joejoecircusboy> Flynsarmy: use system()
[06:32] <Flynsarmy> Jordan_U, joejoecircusboy we have to use execv
[06:32] <klos> is there anything i have to consider when buying a thin client ? i think the only thing they have to be able to is to boot thru the network, is this right ?
[06:32] <Jordan_U> Flynsarmy: Why?
[06:32] <joejoecircusboy> Flynsarmy: call /bin/bash then, with the script as a arg
[06:32] <Flynsarmy> Jordan_U, it's a uni assignment
[06:32] <nke> thank tj83
[06:33] <Jordan_U> Flynsarmy: Ask your teacher :)
[06:33] <joejoecircusboy> hehe
[06:33] <jgedeon> klos, pretty much.  there are a couple websites that you can find from google that will tell you what true thin clients work out of the box and what to avoid.
[06:33] <tj83> nke, does it have two memory modules in it? if you remove one it might throw you into setup option, you could then set your boot order and put the memory back in?
[06:33] <Flynsarmy> joejoecircusboy, /bin/bash works. thanks :)
[06:33] <klos> ok do you know any vendors who seel some nice thin clients, some less geek looking :)
[06:33] <nke> tj83: sorry, not sure how to ook that up ...
[06:33] <jgedeon> klos, for my classrooms I use older school hardware and for the daycares I use true thinclients.
[06:33] <joejoecircusboy> Flynsarmy: Make sure you credit me in your assignment :P
[06:34] <nke> tj83: do you mean remove some piece of the computer manually?
[06:34] <meoblast001> Audacity sux
[06:34] <tj83> nke, yes.. flip it over remove the memory cover and see if it has two modules
[06:34] <Jordan_U> Flynsarmy: And remember, this channel is logged and indexed by google ;)
[06:34] <jgedeon> klos, I don't think any of the thinclients look geek looking..  Heck you can mount them under the desk or table and no one sees them..
[06:34] <klos> :)
[06:34] <Flynsarmy> Jordan_U, lol
[06:35] <tj83> try to remove all static from your body first! nke, something large and metal touch first.
[06:35] <jgedeon> klos, google and ebay are friends!  LOL
[06:35] <klos> ok no worries
[06:35] <klos> thnaks for your time
[06:36] <klos> :)
[06:36] <quall> anyone run ubuntu on a thinkpad
[06:36] <liudx> sdfgsfdgsfdg
[06:36] <quall> and can tell me why it wont turn the fan up higher when flash starts making my cpu go to 100C
[06:36] <jgedeon> klos, you can get alot of info from #edubuntu too.
[06:36] <dr_willis> quall,  i think theres a thinkpad specific forum on the ubuntu pages.
[06:36] <liudx> why?
[06:36] <Vladimir24> anyone run ubuntu on a Pentium 3? I seem to be having issues installing
[06:36] <Flannel> !anyone
[06:36] <jgedeon> quall yes I do have a thinkpad with ubuntu.  And no it doesn't like the new kernel.
[06:37] <quall> jgedeon, i was on fedora 9
[06:37] <quall> having the same issue
[06:37] <quall> i'm not sure whats up
[06:37] <quall> but its really homo
[06:37] <FloodBot2> quall: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[06:37] <tritium> quall: please stop with that sort of talk
[06:38] <quall> only way it accelerates is if i run modprobe thinkpad_acpi fan_control=1 experimental=1 and then run the echo level disengage command
[06:38] <quall> tritium, please calm down.
[06:38] <icedtea> sweet jesus X does not like my video card
[06:38] <dr_willis> !ohmy
[06:38] <Vladimir24> i'm trying to install and as it starts the loading screen, it loads most of the way, and then freezes with lovely blue pixels all along the top
[06:38] <tritium> quall: I won't tell you again
[06:38] <joejoecircusboy> quall: I agree, please refrain
[06:38] <nke> tj83: looks like i'd need screwdrivers to remov anything ...
[06:38] <nke> i think i will come back on this ...
[06:39] <icedtea> !bugs
[06:39] <joseph> Im having a problem with Ubuntu, when i try to click on something it shows the white hand that moves a window, i cant click on anything
[06:39] <icedtea> are radeon drivers stable or what?
[06:40] <joejoecircusboy> icedtea: which driver?
[06:40] <tj83> nke, heh ok... been working on computers for a long time.. i am sure there is some key that will get you in.... but its tricks like that that sometimes just might do the job.. and yes most of the time you have to remove a screw... and the cover or screw hole should me labeled with an "M"
[06:40] <dr_willis> icedtea,  I imagine it depends on the exact card.  ive not had any issues when using the radeon drivers.
[06:40] <joejoecircusboy> icedtea: (there are like 3 or 4 different radeon drivers)
[06:40] <tj83> be*
[06:40] <icedtea> ah, I'm new to the radeon series and ubuntu did all the magic during the install
[06:41] <Blender> i have a problem my screen res is jumping back and forth without me doing anything? May someone with the same problem help me please.
[06:41] <meoblast001> i really need to find an operating system that works.. oh wait... none exist
[06:41] <joejoecircusboy> icedtea: I'm using the stock Ubuntu radeon now... haven't had any issues
[06:41]  * tj83 radeon X1200 using "fglrx"
[06:41] <meoblast001> did they guy who invented comptuers think "i really want to piss ppl off for generations"
[06:42] <Vladimir24> anyone know how to solve "blue pixels of death" during the installation loading screen?
[06:42] <quall> meoblast001, yes.
[06:42] <joejoecircusboy> meoblast001: don't be silly.. they just wanted to piss you off, not everyone
[06:42] <joseph> im having a problem with ubuntu everytime i try to click on something its shows the white hand and it moves the windows
[06:42] <icedtea> according to xorg.conf, Driver "ati"
[06:42] <meoblast001> joejoecircusboy: typical
[06:42] <quall> and whoever said there is a thinkpad forum on ubuntu forums i dont see it
[06:42] <tj83> icedtea, "ati" is the old non 3D-accel driver
[06:42] <bullgard4> Is there still a justification for the existence of the xterm program as there is the program urxvt available?
[06:43] <joejoecircusboy> meoblast001: what's the problem anyway?
[06:43] <meoblast001> Audacity cant work with my audio device
[06:43] <icedtea> tj83: really? strange it works with compiz ok. I assume there's a better one for a Radeon 1050?
[06:43] <meoblast001> and Ardour cant open OGG
[06:43] <nw15062> it is s#thinkpad-forum and yes it is there
[06:43] <joejoecircusboy> meoblast001: the sound editor, or that xmms clone?
[06:43] <bullgard4> quall: If you do not see it this is no prove that it does not exist.
[06:43] <meoblast001> the sound editor
[06:44] <tj83> icedtea, there is a limit to the card generation for that driver... not sure... would require some research... but if its pretty new.. i would certainly try the fglrx out.
[06:44] <joejoecircusboy> meoblast001: hmm... can't say I've had any problems with the editor (used it on 4 or 5 different systems now both 64bit and 32bit)
[06:44] <icedtea> tj83: is that an open source driver or closed source?
[06:45] <joejoecircusboy> meoblast001: what's not working?
[06:45] <Theeb> im having troube with my audio :\
[06:45] <meoblast001> cant detect audio device
[06:45] <Theeb> trouble
[06:45] <Blender> can someone please help with my problem as i'm tired of it.
[06:45] <tj83> its closed :( but its part of the linux-restricted-modules.. so you dont have to get it anywhere.. its available outta-box
[06:45] <joejoecircusboy> meoblast001: what sound card?
[06:45] <meoblast001> whatever dell put in this thing
[06:45] <tj83> its closed :( but its part of the linux-restricted-modules.. so you dont have to get it anywhere.. its available outta-box... icedtea
[06:45] <Theeb> no idea, i have sony laptop, 4 years old
[06:46] <nw15062> blender what is the problem?
[06:46] <icedtea> tj83: apt-get install linux-restricted-modules?
[06:46] <Vladimir24> Would Xubuntu be a better choice for a 500MHz P3 w/ 578MB RAM over regular ubuntu?
[06:46] <icedtea> tj83: nonetheless it might be more reliabe than this ati driver thats not working so well with my x1050
[06:46] <Theeb> when i play music and open youtube for example, the the flash player wont have sound, and vice versa.
[06:46] <dr_willis> Vladimir24,  proberly would. or use some even lighter desktop then xfce.  depending on the  job you are doing with it.
[06:46] <meoblast001> joejoecircusboy: finally.. jackd at 48000 Hz works
[06:47] <tj83> icedtea, all you should have to do is back up your old xorg.cong (sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.cong /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak) and then change "ati" to "fglrx" and restart
[06:47] <Vladimir24> just trying to have an internet machine
[06:47] <icedtea> tj83: but do I have to apt-get anything? I'm on 7.x something
[06:47] <Vladimir24> I have an awesome PC for myself, but i want something for other people who come around to check facebook and email and the like
[06:47] <icedtea> 7.10
[06:47] <Vladimir24> without touching my stuff
[06:48] <jbarbero> Hi; I wonder if anyone can point me to a troubleshooting guide to get wireless working with pcmcia. I've been using Linux for about 6 years, so it doesn't matter if the guide is technical. The pcmcia card is detected (via dmesg) but the wireless interface doesn't show up. This card has worked before on a suse system (different laptop though) fine for years. I can provide make & model if that helps.
[06:48] <anom01y> why is it that when I run alsa force-reload, and then kmix, I get different mixer settings every time
[06:48] <nw15062> Theeb there is a good tutorial on how to fix the flash audio issue on ubuntu's forum do a google search for it.
[06:48] <Jordan_U> jbarbero: What chipset?
[06:49] <tj83> icedtea, be prepared to revert back to the old file from terminal should something go wrong... from terminal do it backwards (sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak /etc/X11/xorg.conf).... i have only run 8.04, but i would check for updates first.. shouldnt have to apt anything
[06:49] <jbarbero> Jordan_U: the card is a cisco aironet 340 series
 thanks, but i get the same problem when i run vbox and use the same audio engine, will that solve it also?
[06:49] <Vladimir24> alas i cannot pinpoint the problem on this computer, guess that's what i get for picking it up off the curb on trash night
[06:51] <nw15062> Theeb: try apt-get removing and installing pulse
[06:51] <jbarbero> Jordan_U: or did I misunderstand your question?
[06:51] <Jordan_U> Vladimir24: Yes, Xubuntu would be better
[06:51] <tj83> icedtea, apt-cache search fglrx returns this package amongst others "xorg-driver-fglrx"
[06:52] <nke> tj83: i really appreciate your help, but since removing any screw might screw up the guaranee ;) and it is not my computer,i'm going to leave it here
[06:52] <nke> will probably come back on this
[06:52] <icedtea> tj83: ahh thanks
[06:52] <Theeb> nw15062,  im using alsa mixer as main audio, and i changed the vbox audio option to pules, and i have no problems
[06:52] <Theeb> pulse *
[06:53] <Jordan_U> jbarbero: Sort of, what does lscpci say ( I think it's prism but I'm not sure )
[06:53] <Theeb> i have alsa and pulse in the option, which device should i use
[06:53] <tj83> nke... hey, your customer... but really memory modules are user upgradeable and does not void warranty.
[06:53] <nw15062> I use pulse
[06:53] <Vladimir24> alright, i'll give Xubuntu a shot, hopefully avoid installation problems
[06:53] <amenado> jbarbero-> also try  sudo lshw -C network and see if the driver is loaded okay
[06:53] <nw15062> it is becoming the main sound backend
[06:55] <jbarbero> It seems to be so.
[06:55] <Theeb> how do you make ur main audio device?
[06:55] <Theeb> i only see master in the volume control, no mic or headphone
[06:55] <meoblast001> i give up on sound
[06:55] <meoblast001> i guess its one of those things you have to accept
[06:55] <jbarbero> amenado: lshw -C network prints info about the Cisco card
[06:56] <nke> tj83: it is not my customer, it is a friend :) and i'm doing it for free of course because i enjoy recovering laptops with ubuntu live :) usually it works but this case has proven a bit frustrating..
[06:56] <jbarbero> It identifies the make & model.
[06:56] <amenado> jbarbero-> and the driver?
[06:56] <jbarbero> Sorry?
[06:56] <jbarbero> amenado: how would I check that?
[06:56] <Theeb> meoblast001, having the same problem with sound?
[06:57] <meoblast001> sound in linux SUUUUUXX

[06:57] <amenado> jbarbero-> same command, look at the results carefully
[06:57] <tj83> nke, hey thats cool... serious.. the user manual (guessing your only allowed one printed copy at time of purchase) always tells you how to remove the memory modules.. look at your own laptops manual. :)
[06:57] <tony-b> newbie ubuntu question - how can I create a key shortcut to open the "Computer - File Browser"?
[06:57] <meoblast001> tony-b: drag it from Places to Desktop?
[06:58] <tj83> nke, i'd even go as far as removing the HDD and place into a usb enclosure for proper testing. to eliminate possibility of machine error
[06:58] <nke> tj83: i will, as soon as i see the owner :)
[06:58] <tj83> nke.. good luck.
[06:58] <jbarbero> amenado: there is no 'configuration:' entry (the configuration entry for eth0 has the word 'driver' in it)
[06:58] <tony-b> meoblast001: thanks - that;s cool too - but I was looking for a keyboard shortcut too..
[06:58] <meoblast001> tony-b: uhh let me remember the programname
[06:58] <nke> thanks tj83 :)
[06:59] <meoblast001> its like... xkey something
[06:59] <Theeb> tony-b,  System > preferences > keyboard shortcuts
[06:59] <Theeb> did you try that?
[06:59] <amenado> jbarbero-> can you paste in pastebin the results of your sudo lshw -C network
[07:00] <tony-b> Theeb: Yup - had a look - bit could only find a keyboard shortcut setting for "home"
[07:00] <tony-b> I think I need to create a keybinding for the command nautilus --no-desktop computer:
[07:00] <Theeb> sorry im new to linux also :p
[07:00] <Theeb> so what irc client is everyone using?
[07:01] <tony-b> Theeb: xchat-gnome
[07:01] <jbarbero> amenado: http://pastebin.com/m106a249b
[07:02] <master_> hi
[07:02] <master_> hello?
[07:02] <Theeb> hi master_
[07:03] <DrDabbles> Anybody in here using NatworkManager 0.7 with Hardy?
[07:03] <amenado> jbarbero-> you dont have the driver for your cisco 340 loaded
[07:03] <master_> hi there
[07:03] <master_> look
[07:03] <Jordan_U> !anyone | DrDabbles
[07:03] <jbarbero> amenado: right, and how would I got about loading it? I guess it's not automatic
[07:03] <master_> is there a way that I can find a Solaris-EDU server?
[07:04] <master_> right now I'm working on my laptop
[07:04] <master_> and I'm running a vmware Solaris
[07:04] <amenado> jbarbero-> i guess first thing is find out which chip that card uses and load it, or maybe use ndiswrapper?
[07:04] <jbarbero> amenado: I'll look into it and come back if I'm stuck
[07:04] <DrDabbles> Jordan - I ask because it is not the official network manager released for Hardy, so if nobody here is running it, it would be a waste of energy to explain my situation.
[07:05] <ntendo> what happens when ubuntu names reach z?
[07:06] <ntendo> are things just started over?
[07:06] <bullgard4> Is there still a justification for the existence of the xterm program as there is the program urxvt available?
[07:06] <Jordan_U> ntendo: I hope they start double letters, it will take a while but there is still hope for a Hungry Hungry Hippo!
[07:06] <ntendo> haha
[07:06] <slope> is there a fixed XRandR that lets compiz/3d accelleration work with twinview on a tripple head rig?
[07:07] <meoblast001> i have no more time to play hide and seek with Ubuntu
[07:07] <meoblast001> good night
[07:08] <Jordan_U> bullgard4: urxvt isn't in main :)
[07:08] <bullgard4> Jordan_U: What is the reason for not being in main?
[07:08] <Jordan_U> bullgard4: Don't know :)
[07:09] <bullgard4> Jordan_U: Thank you for commenting.
[07:12] <drjones1234> hey all. Hoping someone might be able to help me. My boot drive (IDE) looks to have physically died. I have a 4 disk raid5 array though (which appears to be fine). IF i stick a new boot drive in and reinstall ubuntu from scratch I'll be able to detect and use the array & data again, using mdadm, right?
[07:13] <Vladimir24> okay, think i solved the problem on this P3 machine. Disabled ACPI and ran in safe graphics mode
[07:13] <Vladimir24> i made it to the installation screen
[07:13] <Kira> great...
[07:14] <Kira> my server is choking on dcraw and netpbm now...
[07:14] <Evill> drjones1234: I don't know if will do that automatically, but it's definitely doable with mdadm.
[07:15] <DeAd|war> i'm having problems with my wirless
[07:15] <drjones1234> Evill: cool. As long as I'm not going to lose my data. Thanks!
[07:15] <DeAd|war> scan and network manager shows the network manager there i have the right key
[07:15] <DeAd|war> but it doesn't connect
[07:15] <Evill> drjones1234: Yeah, I believe at worst, it will ignore it.
[07:16] <Evill> drjones1234: You did the right thing by having a separate OS drive. Makes things a lot simpler.
[07:17] <Evill> drjones1234: I haven't done it recently, but from memory, I used the --assemble option.
[07:20] <mitan> is there a way to make a samba share for the entire /
[07:20] <mitan> with root access?
[07:21] <Evill> I did an upgrade from 7.10 to 8.04 and shortly after seeing the Heron screen, I get a white screen with a movable cursor and nothing else. Any idea what to look for?
[07:21] <shey> Ubuntu?
[07:22] <shey> O.o
[07:23] <PauloRicardo> Anyone know any free/commercial software (and not web app) like EasyProject Manager (http://www.orionbelt.com/easyProject.php) for Linux?
I had the same problem, I fixed it doing a noapic acpi=off
[07:23] <jbarbero> amenado: I found a thread with the info! http://ubuntu-utah.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=409247 thanks, I found it after searching with lshw network in my search terms
[07:23] <jbarbero> amenado: it's all fixed, it was an obscure bug but easy to fix
[07:24] <master_> I hope it will help you
[07:25] <Evill> master_: Interesting, where did you do that?
[07:25] <amenado> jbarbero cool..just curious what was the lil bug about?
[07:26] <Evill> Nevermind, I'll give it a try.
[07:26] <ShdwShinobi> Has anyone installed a Hauppauge 1950 tv tuner?
[07:27] <master_> when the setting is going to boot up you should hit esc, then look for the boot sequence you may like
[07:27] <master_> hit edit and then at the very end of the line add noapic acpi=off
[07:27] <Evill> master_: Yep, got it, thanks. As it turns out, Google was in fact, my friend.
[07:27] <master_> :D
[07:27] <master_> jejeje
[07:27] <master_> np
[07:28] <master_> I mean hehehe
[07:28] <shey> google strikes again.
[07:28] <shey> google: 1,000,000 user: 0
[07:30] <Evill> Hrm.
[07:30] <Evill> No change.
[07:30] <shey> Evill: whats the problem?
[07:30] <Evill> shey: I did an upgrade from 7.10 to 8.04 and shortly after seeing the Heron screen, I get a white screen with a movable cursor and nothing else.
[07:31] <Evill> x64
[07:31] <Evill> It wasn't pingable either.
[07:31] <shey> are you getting any errors within gnome?
[07:31] <Evill> How would I see them?
[07:32] <shey> good point.
[07:32] <shey> how are you in irc now?
[07:32] <shey> in console?
[07:32] <Evill> OS X machine. :)
[07:32] <Evill> ie. Different comp.
[07:32] <shey> Evill: is it still stuck in that white area now?
[07:32] <Evill> shey: It is.
[07:33] <shey> hit cntrl-alt-f2 and see if you get a console.
[07:33] <Evill> Aha.
[07:33] <Evill> :)
[07:33] <Evill> Yes, I do.
[07:33] <shey> cntrl-alt-f7 gets you back
[07:33] <shey> =)
[07:33] <shey> now we can debug.
[07:33] <Evill> Awesome.
[07:34] <Evill> Okay, network is up for it. That's good.
[07:34] <shey> good.
[07:34] <shey> looks like its a gnome issue.
[07:34] <Evill> Mounted all my other drives with LVM2 on software RAID5.
[07:34] <Evill> So it looks like it's healthy other than gnome, yeah.
[07:34] <ShdwShinobi> Evill, is your xorg configured properly?
[07:35] <Evill> ShdwShinobi: Well, it was prior to the 8.04 update. :)
[07:35] <Evill> I ran xfix from recovery and that didn't change anything.
[07:35] <ShdwShinobi> Ok, I've had problems with that WSOD when messing with the xorg.conf before.
[07:35] <ShdwShinobi> So, I was just throwing that out there just in case.
[07:35] <Evill> Thanks.
[07:36] <Evill> I did mess with ATI drivers a bit trying to get TV-out working better.
[07:36] <gz_hang> help me
[07:36] <Evill> So that may be part of the problem.
[07:36] <shey> Ive been pulling my hair out trying to get my SVideo out working.
[07:37] <ShdwShinobi> might be Evill, graphics drivers are always fun to mess with :/
[07:37] <ShdwShinobi> gz_hang, what do you need help with?
[07:37] <Evill> Okay, here's another thing to mention.
[07:37] <shey> uh oh
[07:37] <Evill> I did have auto-login enabled.
[07:37] <Evill> With gnome.
[07:37] <Evill> Not for root, but for a user account.
[07:37] <baudthief> any apps to rip CDs and DVDs to ISO images?
[07:38] <Evill> So that may explain why I see the Ubuntu splash okay, but then weirdness ensues after that.
[07:38] <MTHRFCKR> server irc.synirc.net
[07:38] <shey> Evill: sudo apt-get update && apt-get upgrade
[07:38] <shey> Evill: lets make sure everything is current.
[07:39] <gz_hang>  I do not know English
[07:40] <Evill> shey: Hmm, before I try that, I was thinking if I can disable auto-login for now, it might give a good idea as to the problem.
[07:40] <Evill> I have a feeling it may be a per-user video issue, such that logging into gnome with root may work.
[07:40] <shey> Evill: you can try that, but it would be an odd bug.
[07:41] <Evill> I did have screen sharing enabled for that user as well, so it could be something odd with that, too.
[07:41] <shey> Evill: You may also want to check xorg's error logs.
[07:41] <DOT3CH> is their a limewire style program for linux p2p?
[07:41] <shey> DOT3CH: limewire =)
[07:41] <DOT3CH> lol

[07:41] <baudthief> frostwire rocks.
[07:42] <shey> *wire is all the same sh*t.
[07:42] <baudthief> Limewire is crippleware
[07:42] <baudthief> DOT3CH: http://www.frostwire.com/download/?os=ubuntu
[07:43] <gz_hang> Who can help me

[07:44] <JustinTime>  i have an iso that has a corrupted volume name which doesn't damage anything but it causes it not to work as expected
[07:44] <JustinTime> [02:44]  <JustinTime> from what i gather so far it's embeded somewhere tricky
[07:45] <ompaul> JustinTime, use torrent to rebuild your iso and start again
[07:46] <Evill> Okay, found it. AutomaticLoginEnable in gdm.conf-custom.
[07:46] <Evill>  /etc/gdm/gdm.conf-custom, that is.
[07:47] <Evill> Heh.
[07:47] <shey> Evill: ?
[07:49] <JustinTime> ompaul how would i use torrent to rebuild the iso?
[07:49] <JustinTime> that doesn't make sense to me
[07:49] <Evill> shey: Just sorting out the "system administrator is not allowed to login from this screen" issue.
[07:49] <ompaul> JustinTime, you use torrent to confirm your image is intact and burn it again
[07:49] <Evill> But at least I'm getting to the point of having a login screen now.
[07:50] <JustinTime> the problem is that the volume name is too long and has a suspect | char that might be the problem in this case it's a rossetta stone it's not really corrupted i just want to change it
[07:50] <fixedy> I have this 750GB S-ATA HDD which my ubuntu won't find (during the installation in the partition manager and on a live CD with gparted)
[07:51] <JustinTime> fixedy what up man
[07:51] <JustinTime> driver problems
[07:51] <saurabh> is there a patch like globalmenu for gtk which enables hiding the toolbars?
[07:51]  * JustinTime kicks you
[07:52]  * JustinTime kicks ompaul
[07:52] <fixedy> Hi Justin
[07:52] <ompaul> JustinTime, is this intrepid ?
[07:52] <JustinTime> it's amazing to me that changing a volume name is such a pain
[07:52] <JustinTime> not sure what intrepid  is. a car
[07:53] <ompaul> !intrepid
[07:53] <JustinTime> well i'm calling it quits for now but
[07:53] <Area_51> !Cedega
[07:53] <JustinTime> oh no it's a spanish lang cd for use with Rosetta stone
[07:54] <JustinTime> i'm dling a new version but i would like to know how to change the volume name just b/c
[07:54] <ompaul> !piracy
[07:54] <linux_user400354> !java
[07:55] <JustinTime> ompaul well or you could say 200 for a stupid cd is robbery

[07:57] <dr_willis> fixedy,  theres 'finding' it and theres 'mounting it' so you can access it.
[07:57] <abby87> fixedy: sudo fdisk -l
[07:57] <dr_willis> fixedy,  so this is a single 750gb filesystem with ntfs filesystem?
[07:57] <fixedy> dr_willis, it's not finding it.

[07:58] <fixedy> icq geht nicht auf ubuntu als programm
[07:58] <fixedy> aber du kannst pidgin benutzen

[07:58] <lopin> Hello!  I would like some help with removing PPPoE configuration data, and getting my wireless working again.  I was at a friends house, who requires PPPoE to connect to the internet, so I ran pppoeconf to configure the connection, and it worked, but now that I'm back home, my wireless card can't be seen, and isn't picking up wireless networks.  Any help?
[07:58] <Evill> shey: I did have a quick look through /var/log/Xorg.0.log but didn't see anything useful.
[07:58] <abby87> !de | fixedy
[07:59] <shey> abby87: can you be of some assistance here? after splash screen.. gnome fails to load up. right now I have him in console.
[07:59] <fixedy> abby87: I was just answering his problem, but ok
[07:59] <abby87> shey: i;ll try my bes
[07:59] <abby87> best
[07:59] <linux_user400354> hi
[07:59] <shey> abby87: how do we view any possible gnome errors?
[07:59] <joseph> Would you have trouble with Ubuntu if u used the Standard personal computer (x86 architecture, PentiumTM, CeleronTM, AthlonTM, SempronTM) and you had a 64AMD and not using the 64-bit amd version
[08:00] <Evill> Although gnome doesn't seem to think it has any problems.
[08:00] <abby87> shey: do 1 thing login and type startx
[08:00] <Rajarajan> hi, i want to launch the login screen in humming bird. I have set the display variable , what is the command to bring login screen ?
[08:00] <shey> abby87: Evill =)
[08:00] <Flannel> joseph: What?  No.  I don't think so.  You're saying you have 64bit hardware, but you're using 32bit OS?
[08:00] <Marcelcel> heybwer kann deutsch bitte mal privat melden brauche hilfe bitte
[08:00] <Evill> Cheers, shey.
[08:00] <Flannel> Marcelcel: /join #ubuntu-de bitte
[08:01] <abby87> shey: you can check the logs in /var/log/
[08:01] <shey> Evill: do that, if xorg crashes you will see an error
[08:01] <Evill> abby87: gnome is already running, and I have a console from that.
[08:01] <joseph> Flannel: I have a 64-bit AMD pc and im not using the version of Ubuntu made for a 64-bit
[08:01] <ujos> hi
[08:01] <Flannel> joseph: That's fine.  Those processors run just fine with 32bit
[08:01] <shey> Evill: you are still in the console I put you in?
[08:01] <dr_willis> joseph,  should be no problems at all.. Most people dont use 64bit OS on their 64bit hardware.
[08:01] <abby87> Evill: so you want to get to normal X screen?
[08:02] <shey> all he sees in a white screen and a moveable cursor
[08:02] <Evill> Well.. gnome boots up, shows the login screen.
[08:02] <Evill> That works fine.
[08:02] <ujos> I have troubles with ntfs partitions. After some manipulation with ntfs partition Windows's chkdsk finds errors. I use ntfs-3g 1.2712
[08:02] <Evill> Once I log in, it goes white with moveable cursor.
[08:02] <Evill> The cursor does change to eyebeam over certain places. So gnome probably thinks it is fine.
[08:02] <abby87> Evill: ur X is messed up i guess
[08:02] <ujos> is there other NTFS driver implementation rather than ntfs-3g?
[08:03] <joseph> Guys, im having a huge problem with my PC when im not in failsafe gnome i cant right-click, or click on alot of things
[08:03] <Evill> I've been switching in and out of console using Ctrl-Alt-F2 & F7 as shey suggested.
[08:03] <abby87> Evill: u r missing some dependencies of x or some prime packages might be missing
[08:03] <Evill> But naturally I can't startx as gnome is currently running.
[08:03] <Evill> abby87: This was an upgrade from a working 7.10 install.
[08:03] <Evill> (To 8.04)
[08:03] <abby87> Evill: u see no icons and stuff after ctrl + alt +f7
[08:03] <abby87> ?
[08:03] <tj83> Evill, how about the xorg.conf? can you pasebinit?
[08:04] <icedtea> whats that program that will let you spy on another programs sys or libcalls?
[08:04] <joseph> Guys, im having a huge problem with my PC when im not in failsafe gnome i cant right-click, or click on alot of things
[08:04] <icedtea> can't recall atm
[08:04] <abby87> Evill: when did it start happening ? just after u upgraded?
[08:04] <kindofabuzz> anyone know where i can get a bunch of Emerald themes in one big file? sick of downloading individually.  Gutsy came with some. hardy = 0
[08:04] <Evill> abby87: Yes.
[08:04] <abby87> joseph: coz its failsafe gnome ..its like safe mode of windows
[08:04] <anon77>  /server irc.partyvan.fm
[08:04] <Evill> I'm just trying apt-get update && apt-get upgrade now.
[08:05] <fixedy> ls
[08:05] <abby87> Evill: so dependencies must be clashing
[08:05] <joseph> abby87: yes i no, its the only way i can do anything
[08:05] <Rajarajan> Evill: can you reset X using alt+ctrl+backspace
[08:05] <tj83> Evill, sudo apt-get install pasebinit then pastebinit /etc/X11/Xorg.conf
[08:05] <abby87> Evill: no do sudo aptitude dist-upgrade
[08:05] <Evill> Okay, let me digest this. :)
[08:06] <abby87> joseph: ur normal gnome isn't working>
[08:06] <abby87> ?
[08:07] <shey> wait, ubuntu has its own pastebin app?
[08:07] <shey> wtf?
[08:07] <abby87> shey: even i came to know just now :P
[08:07] <Evill> Okay.
[08:07] <shey> where the hell have I been?
[08:07] <shey> <3 screen
[08:08] <abby87> Evill: do a dist-upgrade with aptitude and mostly u'll get ur probs fixed
[08:08] <Evill> Okay, ssh'd in from this machine so I at least have something I can copy paste with.
[08:09] <icedtea> how do you enable the bootup system text output when ubuntu starts?
[08:09] <Evill> Okay, Xorg.conf: http://paste.ubuntu.com/44125/
[08:09] <fixedy> So guys I am starting a live CD and it sends me in this weird busybox thing where I'm facing a command line saying (initramfs) , anyone know how to fix this?
[08:09] <abby87> fixedy: is ur grub messed up?
[08:09] <icedtea> fixedy: are you sure the cd burned ok?
[08:10] <abby87> fixedy: oh sorry live cd
[08:10] <abby87> fixedy: my mistake
[08:10] <tj83> Evill, there is no defined video driver in your xorg.conf.. the default is vesa wish may not be supporting your card.. its a generic driver
[08:10] <shey> thats freakin awesome
[08:10] <tj83> wich*
[08:10] <shey> which*
[08:10] <Evill> What is this? A which-hunt? ;)
[08:11] <tj83> shey, TY
[08:11] <fixedy> icedtea: yeah, i used it just fine as live cd before. It's also a shipit cd
[08:11] <Evill> Okay, Ctrl-Alt-Backspace logs out that gnome session back to the login screen, so that's fine, but doesn't help anything.
[08:11] <Evill> tj83: Even though the login screen works fine?
[08:12] <tj83> yes Evill
[08:12] <eviking5> where is the "trash" folder located in Ubuntu?
[08:12] <gaurav_> hello everyone
[08:12] <abby87> Evill: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xorg
[08:12] <kindofabuzz> !trash
[08:12] <Evill> abby87: Done.
[08:12] <Guest36035> is dere any way that i can make a os load on my usb mass storage pendrive and can boot any system with that
[08:13] <eviking5> ubottu: great! thanks a lot!
[08:13] <abby87> lolz
[08:13] <eviking5> ahmmm....
[08:14] <donaq> ubottu: don't be so hard on yourself.
[08:14] <donaq> :)
[08:14] <Evill> No change from "dpkg-reconfigure xorg" that I can see, although I assume that will require restarting gnome, not just logging into a session.

[08:15] <abby87> !ask
[08:15] <Evill> I do have a few other xorg.conf files in /etc/X11, so I could try a few of those.
[08:15] <|Jack> !ask how do i install wine if i'm running linux from a .iso and a cd lol
[08:15] <fixedy> So guys I am starting a live CD and it sends me in this weird busybox thing where I'm facing a command line saying (initramfs) , anyone know how to fix this? The Cd was working just fine before
[08:15] <Guest36035> can any pne help in installing linux on my pendrive and booting system from pendrive
[08:16] <Flannel> |Jack: You install it just like you were running linux from anywhere else.
[08:16] <|Jack> how do i install wine if i'm running linux from a .iso and a cd lol
[08:16] <dr_willis> fixedy,  i would check for dirt on the cd first.
[08:16] <dr_willis> |Jack,  sudo apt-get install wine (hope ya got a lot of ram)
[08:16] <|Jack> how would i do that tho?
[08:16] <shey> Guest36035: google Install Ubuntu USB Drive
[08:16] <tj83> Evill, just a suggestion.. i would start making backups of your file before making changes :) even with dpkg
[08:17] <|Jack> any one?
[08:17] <morningwalker> how can i reset Gnome completely to its default behaviour??
[08:17] <gaurav_> can any one help me
[08:17] <Evill> FWIW, this is an ATI Radeon HD2400 Pro.
[08:18] <morningwalker> gaurav_, what's the problem??
[08:18] <shey> wew, nice card.
[08:18] <|Jack> how do i make unbutu do taht bo change screen thing?
[08:18] <Evill> Cheapest PCI-Express card I could find.
[08:18] <shey> |Jack: ?
[08:18] <dr_willis> |Jack,  you can install packages on a live cd setup.. if you have lots of free ram.  they will be gone when you reboot. so you may want to put the .debs somewhere on a drive.
[08:18] <|Jack> like that space change thing
[08:18] <Guest84016> my prob is that i need to install linux on my usb pendive
[08:18] <Guest84016> can it be possible
[08:19] <dr_willis> Guest84016,  check out pendrivelinux.com
[08:19] <shey> |Jack: window switching?
[08:19] <morningwalker> guest84016... very much possible
[08:19] <dr_willis> Guest40982,  theres lots of disrtos that can be installed to pendrive
[08:19] <morningwalker> but for ubuntu u need a pendrive atleast more than 4gb
[08:19] <Guest84016> can u name a simple and easy way and will it be able to boot with any systems
[08:19] <Flannel> morningwalker: That's incorrect.
[08:19] <Evill> If I do make a change to xorg.conf, is logging in from the gnome login screen sufficient to test it?
[08:20] <Evill> Or do I need to restart gnome somehow?
[08:20] <morningwalker> Flannel??
[08:20] <dr_willis> Guest84016,  there is no guaretee that pendrives will 'boot with any system' theres a large varity of systems out.
[08:20] <Evill> ie. Is it per-session?
[08:20] <shey> restarting x should work
[08:20] <morningwalker> can someone tell me how i can RESET my gnome to its default behaviour??
[08:20] <tj83> Evill, Ctrl+Alt+backspace should do the trick.. yes
[08:20] <shey> cntrl-alt-bkspc
[08:20] <dr_willis> Evill,  you should restart X if chaning xorg.conf,  either alt-ctrl-backspace at the GDM screen , or restart the gdm service
[08:20] <Guest84016> mr willis i mean
[08:20] <dr_willis> !tab | Guest84016
[08:20] <Guest84016> will it be a bootable pendive possible atleast for 1 or 2 sys
[08:21] <Flannel> morningwalker: Default install of Ubuntu is 2.1G, but if you were going to do the casper thing, that compresses down to less than 700MB, like on the CD
[08:21] <icedtea> anyone here up for troubleshooting winbind?
[08:21] <dr_willis> Guest84016,  i have several pendrives that are bootable on most of my machines..   with several different disrtos.
[08:21] <morningwalker> Flannel.. i seriously never knew that
[08:21] <Evill> tj83 and dr_willis, thanks.
[08:21] <morningwalker> but as its been recommended ubuntu needs a minimum of 4gbspace
[08:21] <Guest84016> okh can u simple guide me simple check points what shall i look at it and what not to and how to install
[08:21] <tarelerulz_> How do you upgrade from  One version of Ubuntu other version ?  Can you use synaptic to do that ?
[08:22] <Flannel> !upgrade | tel
[08:22] <fixedy> dr_willis: the cd is clean like it just came out of the factory (which it sorta did), not a single scratch either
[08:22] <Flannel> tarelerulz_: sorry, that's for you.
[08:22] <Evill> Ooh.. heh.
[08:22] <bullgard4> [digital typography] How is the distance from baseline to baseline called in English?
[08:22] <dr_willis> Guest84016,   if you dont have a very large pendrive. you may want to check out some other disrtos to put on it. check the pendrivelinux.com web site for tutorials on  putting ubuntu on a pendrive.
[08:22] <DOT3CH> anyone know of some desktop video capture programs
[08:22] <cads> do you guys know of a graphical package manager that is a little lighter than synaptic?
[08:22] <morningwalker> ﻿tarelerulz_ which version are u using now??
[08:22] <Evill> It didn't like me pressing Ctrl-Alt-Backspace at the login screen.
[08:22] <Evill> "The greeter application appears to be crashing. Attempting to use a different one."
[08:22] <Flannel> bullgard4: #ubuntu-offtopic is the place to ask that.
[08:22] <icedtea> how do you enable the bootup system text output when ubuntu starts?
[08:23] <dr_willis> fixedy,  bummer.. Dust in the drive perhaps?  its weird that it worked once...
[08:23] <Evill> Oh nevermind, it's okay now./
[08:23] <Evill> It repeated that a few times.
[08:23] <tarelerulz_> morningwalker , I think I am Ubuntu 7.10 right now .
[08:23] <dr_willis> icedtea,  i pass the 'nofb' 'nosplash' and 'verbose' options to the kernel from the grub menu.
[08:23] <ubunt2> hello all
[08:23] <fixedy> dr_willis: it worked yesterday! then it stopped working, and then it worked again. I hadn't taken it out in the meantime
[08:24] <dr_willis> fixedy,  i would be checking for loose wires/dust/other stuff also..  i had a drive with a slight cut on an ide cable once...
[08:24] <icedtea> dr_willis: thanks
[08:24] <morningwalker> tarelerulz_: if that's the case u can easily update going to the update manager available in system>administration>update manager... there should be a option button which should mention 'update to 8.04 or something like that.
[08:25] <cads> if I want to take kde 4 for a testdrive, is it wise to install it using apt-get? Or should I install kubuntu onto a test partition?
[08:25] <Evill> Hey, got it working.
[08:25] <tj83> Evill, nice... what did you do?
[08:25] <Evill> I just used an xorg.conf.1 file that happened to be in /etc/X11 :)
[08:25] <Evill> Previous settings I guess.
[08:25] <tj83> :) Night all, Evill
[08:25] <Evill> I'll pastebinit.
[08:26] <morningwalker> can some one please tell me how i can reset my gnome to default|?!?
[08:26] <morningwalker> PLEASE SOME ONE TELL ME!!!

[08:26] <PauloRicardo> People, there is the inverse of gtk-qt-engine?! I like to see Qt apps like Gtk. =/
[08:26] <dr_willis> morningwalker,  you could delete all the .gnome* and .gtk* directories
[08:26] <Evill> tj83: Thanks1
[08:26] <morningwalker> dr_wills, i didnt get u
[08:26] <Mister_Death> Hey im haveing trouble updateding my Firefox beta to  Firefox 3.1
[08:27] <morningwalker> dr_wills, i want gnome to be the way it was when first installed...
[08:27] <dr_willis> morningwalker,  in your users home directory there are other directories  starting with .gnome and .gtk   move them somewhere else.. or delete them. this will TOTATLY delete all your settings for gnome and gtk
[08:27] <Evill> And dr_willis, abby87, and shey.
[08:27] <fixedy> dr_willis: the cable seems fine
[08:27] <morningwalker> and i restart??
[08:27] <dr_willis> morningwalker,  or make a new user, and copy their settings files over to the other user.
[08:27] <dr_willis> morningwalker,  just logout/back in
[08:27] <morningwalker> thanks!!
[08:27] <ubunt2> I'd like to setup ubuntu  to launch an .asx file in the totem movie player upon boot up and kick in full screen visulisation. Can anyone offer any ideas on how to do this?
[08:27] <dr_willis> fixedy,  somthing seems weird then. Not sure what else to check.
[08:28] <R4kk00n> PauloRicardo, it's called qgtkstyle
[08:28] <fixedy> dr_willis: I have a 32bit version as well, I'm going to try see if that works
[08:28] <R4kk00n> works for qt4 apps
[08:28] <morningwalker> is it in .gnome and .gtk in root??
[08:28] <dr_willis> morningwalker,  itsin your USERS home directory /home/username
[08:29] <black_> suci
[08:29] <PauloRicardo> R4kk00n: Hmm, nice, thanks for the tip! :)
[08:29] <_anthonyc> well put some lube on it and see if that help.
[08:29] <_anthonyc> ? dammit wrong channel!
[08:29] <dr_willis> _anthonyc,  sure it is......
[08:29] <cEw_5Ma> #surabaya
[08:29] <ubunt2> hahaa
[08:30] <R4kk00n> PauloRicardo, i've installed it from https://launchpad.net/~martin-espinoza/+archive
[08:30] <ubunt2> can any gurus help on my simple question?
[08:31] <anw> how can I disable usb caching ?
[08:31] <dr_willis> ubunt2,  make a custom  .desktop entry for gdm that launches exactly what you want. and make it autologin  into it.
[08:31] <kindofabuzz> !gtkrc
[08:31] <dr_willis> ubunt2,  you were not real clear on the details. :)
[08:31] <kindofabuzz> anyone know how to install themes from gtkrc files?
[08:31] <billi> hello
[08:32] <PauloRicardo> R4kk00n: Wow, thanks again, he he he! :)
[08:32] <billi> there are many themes available such as vista ,mac lemon etc
[08:32] <billi>  8-)
[08:33] <Jowi> kindofabuzz, gtkrc is the definition filel for the gtk theme
[08:33] <fixedy> dr_willis: the 32 bit live cd is running fine.
[08:33] <dr_willis> fixedy,  could be that one cd is just burnt badly  - or something..
[08:33] <saurabh> is there a patch like globalmenu for gtk which enables hiding the toolbars?
[08:33] <kindofabuzz> Jowi, well i got this them but all the stuff is in individual folders and i noticed a gtkrc file.  just curious how to get it all installed.  do i have to insatll everything manually?
[08:34] <kindofabuzz> theme*
[08:34] <Jowi> kindofabuzz, it is placed something like this: /home/user/.themes/theme-folder
[08:34] <Jowi> !themes
[08:35] <kindofabuzz> Jowi, so just place all the folders there along with the gtkrc and it will work?
[08:35] <fixedy> dr_willis: I just found a solution for the poroblem for which I need the live CD part of it anyway. Thanks for your help!
[08:35] <Jowi> kindofabuzz, you place it all in the "theme-name" folder: /home/user/.themes/theme-name
[08:36] <kindofabuzz> Jowi, ahh ok
[08:39] <airtonix> kindofabuzz, the folders inside a theme-folder should be referenced from within the gtkrc file. how ever the folders in a gnome-icon-theme folder, follow only one very exact convention
[08:39] <Kartagis> how do i re-build gtk-vnc after applying a patch to vinagre?
[08:42] <kindofabuzz> airtonix, yeah i figured it out thanks
[08:42] <JOHN> ggggg
[08:44] <alban_> Hi..can someone tell me why this perl-script http://libtorrent.rakshasa.no/downloads/rtorrent_fast_resume.pl doesnt work on my ubuntu 8,04
[08:45] <alban_> or how to make rtorrent not to check hash of incomplete files on every startup
[08:45] <bolrog> is the -fPIC flag required for building shared libraries?
[08:46] <Ab3L> hello
[08:46] <deahl> hello
[08:47] <dr_willis> jello
[08:47] <DIFH-iceroot> is /var/cache/apt/archives/ important? or can i delete it? because i am low at diskspace, can i disable this "caching" there?
[08:47] <Flannel> DIFH-iceroot: sudo apt-get clean
[08:47] <Flannel> DIFH-iceroot: that'll clear it for you.
[08:47]  * dr_willis seconds what Flannel  says
[08:48] <DIFH-iceroot> Flannel: for what is it? and can i disable this?
[08:48] <Flannel> DIFH-iceroot: and yes, you can automatically have to clean itself out, in apt.conf
[08:48] <NorthByNorthWest> Hi! I have a NVIDIA 8800 GTS but Im hjaving problems with refreshrates! My monitor runs @ 60 HZ but the NVIDIA-card @ 59.95 and that looks pretty bad.... but can I fix this?
[08:48] <Flannel> DIFH-iceroot: its your cache for apt.  apt downloads files, then installs them from the local thing, and doesn't delete them (in case you reinstall later)
[08:48] <cads> is it safe to install the ubuntu-kde4-desktop package from the kubuntu users kde repository?
[08:48] <DIFH-iceroot> Flannel: ok thanks
[08:48] <Flannel> DIFH-iceroot: You can disable it (or at least, have it clear often) through apt.conf
[08:48] <cads> err, kubuntu-kde4-desktop, that is
[08:49] <bonk> hey, trying to install the grub bootloader, is it usually "sd0" that should be written to?
[08:49] <Guest84016> dear wills i didn't find that usb linux download
[08:49] <bonk> with command root (sd0,1)
[08:49] <DIFH-iceroot> Flannel: ok i will do, thank you
[08:49] <dr_willis> NorthByNorthWest,  how are you even telling these rates?  I got an 8800gtsxxx and have no issues.  I thought the 60 was just a rounded up #
[08:49] <cads> I'm worried it'll screw up some of that hardware management stuff that gnome's got installed
[08:49] <ockonal> Can u help me with ati-drivers install?
[08:49] <jube> Do the repositories for unsupported versions of ubuntu goes down when support ends? (for example, will the feisty repositories go offline next month?)
[08:49] <cads> what do you guys think, do any of you guys have kubuntu packages installed on top of ubuntu?
[08:50] <Flannel> jube: Yes, or it usually takes a month or so afterwards.  And the mirrors will go down first.
[08:50] <dr_willis> cads,  i do that all the time. No issues.
[08:50] <cads> very good
[08:50] <NorthByNorthWest> dr_willis: my monitor meny says 60 Hz, NVIDIA X server setup says 59.95 Hz, and dragging windows aroud gives nasty scanlines
[08:51] <Flannel> jube: you really should schedule upgrades before then
[08:51] <cads> what do you think of kde4 dr_willis?
[08:51] <jube> Flannel, yeah, I have an old computer as a backup server and it is running feisty. sort of debating just leaving it that way but on the other hand i guess upgrading would be the best thing to do.
[08:51] <dr_willis> cads,  i will wait a while to strt using it.
[08:52] <ockonal> Hi anyone :)  Can you help me with Ati-drivers install/configuration?
[08:52] <cads> that's what I feel I will find too, dr
[08:52] <Flannel> jube: If you upgrade to Hardy, you can get on the LTS cycle, and not have to upgrade for three years
[08:52] <dr_willis> NorthByNorthWest,  Im thinking you may be looking at the wrong place for your problems..  You may want to check the forums.  it could be some other config issue.
[08:52] <cads> but those screenshots do look pretty
[08:53] <moncojhr> im running vmware with a windows xp host it has vmware tools on it, when i move my mouse to and from the virtual machine and host, i get a small amount of lag which disrupts any audio playing in the vm.. is this normal? and how can i fix it?
[08:53] <jube> Flannel, that's probably what I will do... just going to have to find some time to reinstall and resetup the backup functions
[08:54] <dinx> manlymatt83: not mormal. and should be a windows related problem..
[08:56] <darrend> can I modify a group membership so that it takes effect without the user logging out and back in?
[08:57] <afallenhope> had a question..
[08:58] <dr_willis> darrend,  as a  quick 'work around' you could relogin that user in a terminal (with login, or ssh to localhost)   and have the proper groups in that terminal window only... but  eventually you need to log out/backin to get it fully set.
[08:58] <afallenhope> if I create a folder named ".fonts" and put all my fonts in there... can I use them? I'm using them for GIMP and they seem to be working.. but let's say I deleted the folder on accident...
[08:58] <afallenhope> nothingo wuold mess up the system right?
[08:58] <dr_willis> My fonts are in .fonts
[08:58] <dr_willis> :) try it and see.. move them somewhere else..
[08:58] <dr_willis> Id hope most programs have defaults they use if they cant find a font
[08:59] <gr8> dear willis can u help me out in the usb linux i can't find the version for linux of usb
[08:59] <darrend> dr_willis: thx.  I thought if the terminal window had been configured as a 'login' window, this should work anyway (for the newly opened terminal).  I'll try the explicit login..
[08:59] <dr_willis> gr8,  you went to pendrivelinux.com ? you read their directions? You pick what disrto you want and follow their guide.
[09:00] <R4kk00n> ockonal, did you try the ones from official repository?
[09:00] <gr8> i did that same but couldn't find that distro details for download i find the way to make the live usb drive dat's it
[09:00] <dr_willis> darrend,  theres login shells, then theres normal shells..  :) then i guess theres how 'login' command works. or ssh does when it connects.. I jsut use this trick every so often when setting up fuse normally
[09:01] <ockonal> R4kk00n: нуы
[09:01] <ockonal> ockonal: yes
[09:01] <Theeb> i have no idea why my LAN is faster than my wireless in downloading files from the internet, even with speed test, it caps around 3xx kb/s
[09:01] <ockonal> R4kk00n: yes
[09:01] <dr_willis> gr8,  that made no sence to me what so ever.. You normally download the files they tell you to and follow the steps they say.   like...    http://www.pendrivelinux.com/2008/05/08/usb-ubuntu-804-persistent-install-via-the-live-cd/
[09:01] <danyalo> hello

[09:02] <danyalo> how to install limewire
[09:02] <gr8> okh thankx dear
[09:02] <dr_willis> danyalo,  use frostfire instead. :)
[09:02] <dr_willis> !frostfire
[09:03] <dr_willis> !limewire
[09:03] <dr_willis> frost Wire. :) not fire. silly me.
[09:03] <freshmeen_> how to see .* files in xwindow
[09:03] <danyalo> thxs a lot
[09:04] <alban_> hi..i have ubuntu 8,04 and cant run a perl script for rtorrent
[09:04] <dr_willis> freshmeen_,  . files are consiodered hidden. Most file managers have a 'show hidden files' option
[09:04] <dr_willis> freshmeen_,  or from terminal 'ls -a'
[09:04] <barbarella> dr_willis:frostfire sounds nicer :-)
[09:04] <dr_willis> barbarella,  i think thats somthing else.. :)
[09:04] <freshmeen_> ｄｒ_ｗｉｌｌｉｓ: thank you!

[09:11] <geoaxis> hello, i have some linux ISOs and a working ubuntu system, is it possible to install from these ISOs another linux system while still in ubuntu
[09:11] <amanulla> any number?
[09:11] <dr_willis> amanulla,  just hit enter a few dozen times
[09:12] <dr_willis> it dosent Matter at all
[09:12] <dr_willis> :)
[09:12] <bazhang> geoaxis, use virtualbox
[09:12] <danyalo> how to install a program ?
[09:12] <dr_willis> danyalo,  use the package manager. is the normal way to install new apps.
[09:12] <bazhang> danyalo, using synaptic package manager
[09:12] <amanulla> how to run in that newly created user mode?
[09:12] <dr_willis> amanulla,  login as the new user.
[09:12] <geoaxis> bazhang:  i want to install on the actual machine, not in virtual mode
[09:12] <cojones_> does anyone here run GNOME and KDE on the same system?
[09:13] <DIFH-iceroot> amanulla: login as this user or "su - nameoftheuser"
[09:13] <dr_willis> cojones_,  all the time.. on every machine i got.
[09:13] <geoaxis> bazhang:  let me say i am trying to save my self from burning a DVD
[09:13] <cojones_> i've often read that it's not recommended but I want to know why
[09:13] <bazhang> geoaxis, you can do that as well; just be careful not to delete ubuntu (need to burn iso to cd)
[09:13] <Question1000> Nope didn't get anything.
[09:13] <DIFH-iceroot> cojones_: there  are no problems
[09:13] <dr_willis> cojones_,  ive never seen it not be reccomdded.. and i cant think of any issues ive ever had.. other then lots of icons in the menus
[09:13] <SkinnYPup> Hi What package can I find open gl headers?
[09:13] <DIFH-iceroot> cojones_: ich have xfce4, gnome, kde3 and kde4 running on a machine
[09:14] <geoaxis> bazhang:  i can find my way around grub, so i am not worried about nuking my current ubuntu install
[09:14] <afallenhope> hey the default GIMP that comes with Ubuntu... is there a way of updating it to the latest/
[09:14] <cojones_> alright great... is there any way around the menu problems?
[09:14] <amanulla> even i login as new user im getting same problem
[09:14] <freshmeen_> when I type "su" in terminal,but the passwd isn't the same as the passwd when I get to the system ,why
[09:14] <amanulla> what to do?
[09:14] <dr_willis> cojones_,  some dont consider it a problem. they want menu items for every thing thats installed..
[09:15] <afallenhope> I know I can compile it...
[09:15] <dr_willis> freshmeen_,  dont use su, use 'sudo'  to do root things
[09:15] <cojones_> dr_willis: right, when i've done it in the past though, I lose all organization (I like to keep things tidy ;))
[09:15] <bazhang> freshmeen_, dont use su; use sudo
[09:15] <cojones_> that's what I mean
[09:15] <DIFH-iceroot> freshmeen_: su wants your rootpassword
[09:15] <amanulla> dr_willis:
[09:15] <amanulla> what to do?
[09:15] <Question1000> That shouldn't mean that I couldn't install it firefox 3 as a file though does it??
[09:15] <Question1000> - it
[09:16] <Question1000> My typing is awful
[09:16] <dr_willis> amanulla,  be more verbose and concise  - would be a good idea.
[09:16] <DIFH-iceroot> freshmeen_: sudo su    this wants your userpassword
[09:16] <freshmeen_> but what is the rootpassword, am i not the administractor?
[09:16] <bazhang> DIFH-iceroot, that is not wise
[09:16] <jiaji> I mounted a floppy image as a loop device, when I want to add some files to it, "No space left on device" error occurred, what should I do?
[09:16] <DIFH-iceroot> bazhang: why?
[09:16] <bazhang> DIFH-iceroot, freshmeen_ sudo -i if you must
[09:16] <amanulla> what does this mean "verbose and concise"
[09:16] <SkinnYPup> What package can I find opengl headers in ? Having trouble locating it in synaptic. Hardy
[09:16] <dr_willis> amanulla,  if you installed firefox extensions system wide then youmay want to uninstall them.  Or you are having some network issues that are not firefox related.
[09:17] <bazhang> amanulla, ask questions with some substance; not just 'what to do?'
[09:17] <DIFH-iceroot> bazhang: what is the difference betwenn sudo su  and sudo -i?
[09:17] <moncojhr> im running vmware with a windows xp host it has vmware tools on it, when i move my mouse to and from the virtual machine and host, i get a small amount of lag which disrupts any audio playing in the vm.. is this normal? and how can i fix it?
[09:17] <moncojhr> windows xp guest sorry
[09:17] <bazhang> DIFH-iceroot, no need to create a root account; sudo -i creates a root shell for a limited period of time
[09:18] <dr_willis> DIFH-iceroot,  you do NOT want to use 'sudo su' :) no need for it.
[09:18] <DIFH-iceroot> dr_willis: of course i want to use sudo su
[09:18] <Question1000> Another question, I tried to update to 8.04 and it was crashing so I have had to stay with 7.10.  What would be causing this to happen??
[09:18] <DIFH-iceroot> dr_willis: e.g. i am configuration my server
[09:18] <dr_willis> DIFH-iceroot,  http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2008/05/09/a-root-shell-on-ubuntu-the-right-way/
[09:19] <freshmeen_> I tried sudo -i , then the terminal change to "#", not "$"
[09:19] <dr_willis> sudo -i , is the proper way to get a root  shell.
[09:19] <dr_willis> freshmeen_,  thats becaus root has a different prompt as a 'warning'
[09:19] <dr_willis> My root user has a Bright RED prompt with flashy lights. :)
[09:20] <DIFH-iceroot> dr_willis: or i am using sudo passwd and then i am using ssh with root as in debian, suse and so on
[09:20] <dr_willis> DIFH-iceroot,  then it dosent matter what you do.. good luck
[09:20] <amanulla> even i just now removed firefox in terminal  sudo apt-get remove firefox its working why?
[09:20] <dr_willis> amanulla,  clarify that a bit.. 'its working why?' is not very clear.. you mean the removal worked? the firefox is still there?
[09:21] <DIFH-iceroot> dr_willis: i just dont understad why sudo su is bad and sudo -i os good
[09:21] <DIFH-iceroot> dr_willis: is good
[09:21] <dr_willis> DIFH-iceroot,  go read that url, and the 10000's of threads on the  topic.
[09:21] <DIFH-iceroot> dr_willis: ok, i will
[09:21] <dr_willis> 'security is a layered process'  is the 'gist' of the whole thing
[09:22] <dr_willis> theres a lot more to 'sudo' then 'the command ya gotta use to do root things also'  - sudo gets overlooked a lot for many tasks.
[09:22] <freshmeen_> I have a question, when I get into the operating system ,then I hear a small piece of music ,How to turn if off ?
[09:22] <cads> I like the idea of not having an account on my computer the name of which anyone could potentially know
[09:22] <Flannel> freshmeen_: go to "sounds"
[09:23] <dr_willis> cads,  well the root account is there.. You jsut cant directly login  into it.
[09:24] <dr_willis> DIFH-iceroot,  'sudo su  '- is redundant for the most part also..   No need to spawn an extra process or 2
[09:24] <freshmeen_> Flannel, thank you
[09:24] <zynergi> domain brokers are the scum of the earth
[09:25] <kindofabuzz> dude from bigdaddy got busted buying out domains and then reselling them
[09:26] <kindofabuzz> like the VP
[09:26] <Flannel> !offtopic
[09:26] <DIFH-iceroot> dr_willis: thanks for the link, now i know why mailx is not working with sudo su :)
[09:26] <dr_willis> DIFH-iceroot,  there ya go! :)
[09:26] <kindofabuzz> oh i thought this was OT my bad!
[09:27] <dr_willis> DIFH-iceroot,  its all about the 'enviroment'  :) it seems to boil down to.
[09:27] <DIFH-iceroot> dr_willis: but i will still use sudo passwd and a real root-shell for my servers, i am to lazy to login as user and became root
[09:27] <Wicked> hmm is there a reason ubuntu uses a older version of ktorrent?
[09:27] <Flannel> DIFH-iceroot: you're welcome to do that, but please don't recommend it here.
[09:27] <dr_willis> DIFH-iceroot,  yoru security is your business.. set root to not needing a password to login if you want.. makes no differance to me.
[09:27] <gingle> i cant find synpatic package manager in ubutnu how to install it?
[09:28] <DIFH-iceroot> dr_willis: so you say debian is not good for security?
[09:28] <dr_willis> gingle,  its installed by default.
[09:28] <DIFH-iceroot> dr_willis: or any other dstribution with root-account?
[09:28] <dr_willis> DIFH-iceroot,   go argue in the trehads and forums.. its all been rehashed over and over and over and over
[09:29] <gingle>  i cant find it in system preferences
[09:29] <gingle> where can i?
[09:29] <dr_willis> DIFH-iceroot,     security is a layered process. sudo adds yet another layer of protection.
[09:29] <Flannel> gingle: System >  Administration
[09:29] <NWM> I am attempting to install Ubuntu, I get to the part of the installer "Prepare Partitions" but no partitions show
[09:29] <gingle> Flannel:not even there
[09:30] <gingle> but there s like "update manager"
[09:30] <Flannel> zahra: please stop that
[09:30] <Flannel> gingle: And this is Ubuntu?
[09:30] <gingle> ya
[09:30] <gingle> ubuntu 8
[09:30] <gingle> im using
[09:31] <gz_hang>  I love Ubuntu
[09:31] <Flannel> gingle: Alright, well, you can make sure its installed with: sudo apt-get install synaptic
[09:31]  * dr_willis now pronunces gz_hang  and Ubuntu as Operator and OS.. You may now boot the os...
[09:31] <gingle> wont synpatic package manager is visible if im in user mode?
[09:32] <dr_willis> gingle,  try running it from the terminal
[09:32] <dr_willis> 'sudo synaptic'
[09:32] <Flannel> gksu synaptic
[09:32] <dr_willis> Ohyea. :) heh
[09:32] <dr_willis> silly me
[09:32] <gz_hang> sudo apt-get install synaptic
[09:32] <gingle> dr_willis:i m amanulla i have created new usr as u said
[09:32] <gingle> now im in new usr mode
[09:33] <gingle> called gingle
[09:33] <gz_hang> silly me
[09:33] <dr_willis> Only the first initial user can run 'sudo'
[09:33] <ngirard> Hi all, I need to convert 6 mpeg movies into avi with the 2 following constraints: (1) once converted the 6 avi files should fit 1 dvd ; and (2) I need to do this at the command-line because i'll be accessing my friend's machine (ubuntu 8.04) remotely via ssh. Any ideas ?
[09:33] <gingle> here i cant find terminal
[09:33] <gingle> why?
[09:33] <Flannel> gingle: Ah.  That'd do it, yeah.  non-admin users cannot use synaptic.
[09:34] <dr_willis> Terminalicon is in the menus somewhere.
[09:34] <dr_willis> but that user cant run synaptic anyway
[09:34] <Flannel> gingle: As a non-admin user, you can't use sudo either.
[09:34] <mindrape> ngirard: I imagine some ffmpeg script could do it... google
[09:34] <gingle> by the way i recieved this "the isd server could not be started because port 5800 is already in use"

[09:35] <freshmeen_> dr_willis, Evill, I got it

[09:37] <albech> how would you route all http traffic from one network through another? the reason i am asking this is cause many sited are blocked here in thailand. i could create a proxy, but wouldnt that require every user to change his configuration?
[09:37] <gingle> ISD SERVER ERROR by the way i recieved this "the isd server could not be started because port 5800 is already in use pls make sure that no otherapplication is using this port and try again"
[09:37] <gingle> what does this mean?

[09:44] <adi_> lets say i want video editing
[09:45] <adi_> dr_willis: video editing and 3d rendering
[09:46] <ethomas> anyone know how to get around the "C compiler cannot create executables" error when trying to ./configure xchat?

[09:47] <breize> freshmeen_, whats the problem?
[09:47] <ethomas> Flannel: how would I go about that?
[09:47] <Flannel> ethomas: first, what are you trying to install?

[09:50] <breize> freshmeen_, well, you read one, why don't you just start hacking?
[09:50] <freshmeen_> breize, how can I understand the head files , such as <stdio.h>
[09:51] <freshmeen_> It seems to me ,write head files is important
[09:51] <breize> freshmeen_, you want to understand what they do or what they are there for?
[09:51] <morningwalker> arent there any drivers of VIA Unichrome graphic card?? cant enable compiz
[09:51] <breize> freshmeen_, well, read your book again
[09:51] <Kartagis> how do i re-build gtk-vnc after applying a patch to vinagre?

[09:51] <breize> freshmeen_, or google "c tutorial"
[09:51] <dr_willis> morningwalker,  ive heard bad things about the via stuff.
[09:52] <morningwalker> dr_wills, its not just bad!!! its pathetic!!!
[09:52] <freshmeen_> breize, yes, when I read the files in /usr/lib/include , they are complex
[09:52] <breize> freshmeen_, no need to read them, just use them
[09:53] <freshmeen_> breize, Is there some books introduce the functions in the head files
[09:53] <breize> freshmeen_, don't know, google it
[09:53] <dr_willis> THeres tons of books on C programming :)  I mean Literally TONS..
[09:55] <freshmeen_> breize, If I want to write a program has the same function as "ls", how could you write
[09:56] <morningwalker> anyone, m stuck with really bad configurations on this comp of mine... anyone with some suggestion for good configurations for the new computer i planning on buying!!
[09:56] <shey> morningwalker: you need to be a bit more clearer
[09:57] <morningwalker> i'd like to buy a new cpu... what are the configurations i need to go for for best performance in ubuntu
[09:58] <shey> morningwalker: default is always best.
[09:58] <Kartagis> hello? how do i re-build gtk-vnc after applying a patch to vinagre? do I need to remove then re-install?
[09:58] <Kartagis> !reinstall
[09:58] <bubaphex> hi all, im using gnome gui, ive some how managed to move my top pannel menu thing on the side and i cant seam to drag it back, is there a command in termanl which i can use to set it up ?
[09:58] <bubaphex> set it back)
[09:59] <bubaphex> set it back*
[09:59] <morningwalker> shrey, i mean to say... Hardware configurations i should opt for!!
[09:59] <shey> bubaphex: right click on an empty area on the toolbar and hit properties.
[10:00] <shey> morningwalker: your best bet is to search google for hardware that linux definatly supports.
[10:00] <domherre> On Wine forums i am suppose to apply http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=15516 this patch to wine.. but Im not sure what parts of it needs to be cut to be able to use git-apply
[10:00] <morningwalker> thx

[10:03] <breize> freshmeen_, if you want to get started, why don't you take a look at the ls sourcecode?
[10:04] <freshmeen_> breize, I am a freshman, please tell me where is the ls sourcecode
[10:04] <afallenhope> Anyone know where I can upgrade to the latest GIMP version?
[10:04] <morningwalker> ubottu: Epson scanner and printer
[10:05] <morningwalker> someone with any ideas to get my epson scanner and printer to work with ubuntu!!
[10:05] <dr_willis> afallenhope,  you could use the source and install it, or install it just for a single user, or use the autopackage, or klick 'methods' (but i reccomend using source)
[10:06] <shey> morningwalker: is it an all-in-one?
[10:06] <dr_willis> afallenhope,  the ppa repositories may have a newer version also.. the gimp homepage may have links to newer .debs also
[10:06] <afallenhope> dr_willis, can't find the repos for it
[10:06] <dr_willis> afallenhope,  there may not be any. check the PPA stuff  perhaps.. or use source
[10:07] <dr_willis> !ppa
[10:08] <breize> freshmeen_, its part of coreutils
[10:08] <dr_willis> afallenhope,   gimp - 2.4.7-1ubuntu1   is on PPA it seems
[10:08] <breize> freshmeen_, http://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/

[10:10] <Skiessi> *how can I set the dpkg architecture?
[10:11] <shey> morningwalker: most likely you wont be able to, due to printers like that... they are reliant on the Operating systems.
[10:11] <shey> morningwalker: google all-in-one printers and linux
[10:12] <dr_willis> My old HP all in 1 worked good. :) but its 5+ yrs old now...
[10:12] <morningwalker> shrey, no proper prompts after searching on most of the search engines!!! my friend happens to have a similar all in on HP printer... he runs fedora and says it works perfectly fine!!
[10:12] <dr_willis> a lot depends on the exact printer
[10:12] <shey> dr_willis: yeah my old HP worked too, but no luck with any of the Lexmarks.
[10:12] <dr_willis> shey,  ive thrown out many lexmarks. (well given them away unopened) :)
[10:13] <morningwalker> looks like linux us really slow at coming out with proper drivers
[10:13] <afallenhope> dr_willis, I found a the latest binary at getdebs I was wondering if I can install those
[10:13] <shey> morningwalker: you may also want to check and see if the HP linux printing system is installed on you syste,
[10:13] <shey> system too
[10:13] <dr_willis> afallenhope,  try it and see I guess..  I found some at the PPA site.
[10:14] <shey> morningwalker: its not linux, its the corperate fucks that own the names.
[10:14] <shey> =)
[10:14] <afallenhope> dr_willis, I dont know how to add the repository though :-s
[10:14] <dr_willis> afallenhope,  no idea on getdeb. i dident think they had a repo.
[10:14] <morningwalker> i doubt that the latest machines made for computers will work properly for linux, using ubuntu for three years ive noticed this...
[10:14] <shey> they refuse to release the drivers to the open source community.
[10:14] <morningwalker> good point shrey!!
[10:14] <dr_willis> afallenhope,  for the launchpad/ppa  - its shown right there on the page for the specific PPA user. https://launchpad.net/~like-a-dust/+archive
[10:14] <shey> HP is slowly coming to realize this.
[10:15] <morningwalker> Epson will never i guess!!
[10:15] <shey> never
[10:15] <shey> and its shey
[10:15] <shey> -r
[10:15] <shey> brb
[10:16] <morningwalker> all they want is... LOTS OF MONEY, (i never ment that open source should be free)
[10:16] <freshmeen_> breize, thank you for intorducing me ,
[10:16] <shey> open source is free
[10:16] <shey> thats the threat.
[10:16] <breize> freshmeen_, np
[10:16] <Flannel> morningwalker, shey, mind taking the discussion to #ubuntu-offtopic?  We try and keep this channel support-only.  Thanks.
[10:17] <shey> Flannel: this was intended for printer support. Read up.
[10:17] <shey> Flannel: but ok.
[10:18] <afallenhope> dr_willis, all I'm finding are binary
[10:18] <morningwalker> same
[10:19] <Flannel> morningwalker: HP printers should work fine, and likely OOB.  HP has cooperated with FOSS with regards to drivers.
[10:19] <morningwalker> hmm
[10:19] <morningwalker> So thats mean... WAIT FOR EPSON DRIVERS???
[10:19] <shey> I recommended he isntalled the HP Printing system.

[10:20] <msshams> e.g. "503big" must be "505big". can you help me please that how can i do it?
[10:22] <Flannel> msshams: You'll need to do full fledged scripting for that.  You'll likely have more luck in #bash

[10:35] <ghaleb> hello, how can I create a simple remote method invocation to get 'df' for example
[10:36] <aros2> "ubuntu-dk-moede
[10:36] <Blaise> My Desktop is far too bright, is there a way to change this, so I can see icons and windows Chrome properly
[10:36] <dmoyne> hello since a few days I keep getting some error messages about my HD ATA : { DRDY ERR }... ?
[10:37] <Blaise> I've checked my TFT settings and there shouldn't be a problem there
[10:37] <dr_willis> ghaleb,  you may want to rephrase/clarify that question.
[10:38] <ghaleb> dr_willis, I mean, I want a server to call another and get the disk status for example and print the result into a file
[10:38] <dr_willis> ghaleb,  ssh can do that.
[10:39] <Falcons> !firewall
[10:39] <ghaleb> dr_willis, to excute a command in anothe machine  and get back the result, right ?
[10:39] <Falcons> libdbus 1.2 is older then the 1.3 I have on the system now
[10:40] <dr_willis> ghaleb,  yes. ive seen examples/docs/guides on how thtas doable with ssh.
[10:40] <Falcons> firestarter will not load
[10:40] <ghaleb> thank you really
[10:40] <ghaleb> maybe we need certificats or sth installed to be done
[10:40] <foool> new to ubuntu can't get sound for flash in firefox or sound skype
[10:41] <dr_willis> ghaleb,  i saw examples on doign it with and without needing any passwords.
[10:41] <ghaleb> sounds great .. thank you again
[10:41] <Falcons> !keystarter
[10:41] <sebastian> hi, how can i change the sound theme?
[10:41] <Falcons> !keywall
[10:41] <dr_willis> ghaleb,  wow.. heres an example thats een usign df :) --> http://bashcurescancer.com/run_remote_commands_with_ssh.html
[10:42] <Falcons> !keystart
[10:42] <Falcons> what is a good firewall anyone
[10:42] <shey> !firewalls
[10:42] <Noremorse> I am having trouble with firefox in eeebuntu, it keeps freezing up giving me a grey window. I have tried the about:config changes to no avail, any ideas please? I have a 900 with a 30G hdd  no flash disk
[10:42] <shey> !firewall
[10:42] <Ihavenoname> foool, go to synaptic package manager and download "libflashsupport"
[10:43] <Ihavenoname> Then you'll get sound in firefox
[10:43] <aixos> hi
[10:43] <sebastian> how do i change the sound theme??
[10:43] <ghaleb> waw .. this is exactly what I want
[10:43] <aixos> hi
[10:43] <ghaleb> ;)
[10:43] <dr_willis> ghaleb,  google to the rescue
[10:44] <aixos> somebody look me?
[10:44] <Falcons> other then those
[10:44] <ghaleb> yeah .. I was looking for RMI or sth .. I didn't know ssh can do that :D
[10:44] <Falcons> firestarter will not load
[10:44] <aixos> hi
[10:44] <aixos> somebody look me?
[10:44] <shey> Falcons: did you install it?
[10:44] <shey> aixos: ask...
[10:44] <shey> !ask
[10:44] <aixos> ok lookme
[10:45] <aixos> thanks
[10:45] <Falcons> i tried but i have error unsatisfiable libdus 1-2
[10:45] <morningwalker> suggestion* use thunderbird instead of evolution... EVOLUTION, no good!!
[10:46] <Falcons> should i uninstall the the 1.3 version that i saw in synaptic
[10:46] <sebastian> how do i change the sound theme??
[10:47] <shey> sebastian: system > preferences > sound
[10:48] <shey> Falcons: you have a prior version that broke?
[10:49] <sebastian> ok thx
[10:49] <sebastian> but thats not all the sound is it?
[10:50] <Falcons> i am going to use lokit instead
[10:51] <Falcons> so how do i open up a console in the gui
[10:51] <shey> applications > accesories > terminal
[10:51] <Pirate_Hunter> im trying to setup quota but on fstab when i need to change it do i make a new entry for /dev/sda2 pointing to /media/... or just do all modification on the current sda2
[10:51] <Falcons> ty
[10:54] <dr_willis> Pirate_Hunter,  you would modify the line thats mounting /dev/sda2 would be my guess..  otherwuse you will be mounting sda2 twice
[10:55] <sebastian> how do i start the file browser as super user?
[10:55] <balrog> sebastian: goto Applications > Accessories > Terminal
[10:55] <shey> why would you want to?
[10:56] <sebastian> but how do i start it?
[10:56] <dr_willis>  I cant count the # of times ive seen people mess up things by running Nautilus as root.. :)
[10:56] <balrog> sebastian: then type "gksudo nautilus" (without the quotes) and hit enter, it will prompt you for the password
[10:56] <sebastian> ok thx :D
[10:56] <balrog> sebastian: as dr_willis said, be careful...
[10:56] <dr_willis> sebastian,  i would be sur to CLOSE that nautilus as soon as you are done doing the root-task you are doing.
[10:56] <balrog> thats good advise
[10:57] <dr_willis> You could set up root user with a BRIGHT red color theme. :) as a warnning also.
[10:57] <sebastian> ok
[10:57] <sebastian> why is that?
[10:57] <shey> never run anything as root.
[10:57] <shey> never
[10:57] <dr_willis> sebastian,  one miss click/delete/drag/drop with that file manager = messed up system.
[10:57] <shey> EVER!!
[10:57] <sebastian> ya :p
[10:57] <balrog> shey: including boot scripts?
[10:57] <dr_willis> It pays to learn to do 'root' tasks in a terminal.
[10:57] <sebastian> im just replacing my sound theme :D
[10:57] <shey> did I mention.. ever?
[10:57] <Pirate_Hunter> dr_willis: ok but doesnt that mean that / wont be mounted at startup because at the moment fstab show dev/sda1 by UUID mounted to /, if i chnage it to /home would it still pick up and not hose the sstem?
[10:58] <shey> balrog: ughh
[10:58] <dr_willis> sebastian why are you messing with whats basically a user setting?
[10:58] <balrog> :-P
[10:58] <sebastian> because i want my os x sound :)
[10:58] <shey> people confuse root with windows (so called) adminstrator.
[10:58] <dr_willis> Pirate_Hunter,  im not clear on what you are doing.     sounds like you should backup your existing fstab to be safe.
[10:59] <shey> holy smokes!
[10:59] <Pirate_Hunter> dr_willis: not setting up quota on ubuntu
[10:59] <dr_willis> sebastian,  so err.. set the users sound configs?
[10:59] <shey> theres Windows Exploder for linux?
[10:59] <Pirate_Hunter> dr_willis: *no
[10:59] <shey> I mean Explorer.
[10:59] <sebastian> no because they dont have all the sound
[10:59] <shey> freudian slip.
 - ok.. whatever... :) i give up on trying to figure this out..
[11:00] <morningwalker> shrey, windows has its own browser called internet explorer... its made by microsoft, why in the world would they want to make it open source??
[11:00] <sebastian> :D
[11:00] <shey> morningwalker: shey   s    h    e    y
[11:00] <shey> no r
[11:00] <shey> sudo apt-get remove r --purge
[11:01] <SpComb> I assume that it's possible to run IE on linux
[11:01] <dr_willis> alt-get me a beer.
[11:01] <morningwalker> what does --purge do??
[11:01] <dr_willis> SpComb,   icky :P
[11:01] <shey> ^5 dr_willis
[11:01] <dr_willis> SpComb,  wine can do it.  i hear...
[11:01] <Pirate_Hunter> !quota
[11:02] <Scurz> hey
[11:02] <morningwalker> !evolution
[11:02] <morningwalker> !evolution mail

[11:03] <shey> smoke break, brb
[11:03] <morningwalker> can someone tell me which one would be better?? thunderbird or evolution??
[11:03] <GOrhskOFF> hi!, tell me, whats error
[11:03] <GOrhskOFF> http://paste.org.ru/?nnm5pt
[11:03] <betatest20> hi!
[11:04] <dr_willis> GOrhskOFF,  its a good idea to at least summarize the problem. not just paste a url.
[11:04] <morningwalker> i cant connect to my friends system using ssh??
[11:05] <morningwalker> is there some configuration to be first made on the computer which i want to connect??
[11:05] <dr_willis> morningwalker,  if theres any routers/firewalls/ect. btween the 2. hey need to allow the connection
[11:05] <verbosity> morningwalker: is your friend behind a firewall that doesnt allow ssh
[11:05] <dr_willis> morningwalker,  he also needs ssh installed. :)
[11:05] <betatest20> Problem: (8.04) boot pause of 10 seconds at boot start. it began on 12th of august, when udevd was replaced by udevadm (autoupdate?) and the latter uses 10 seconds where bootchart shows nothing (visible) is done at. how can I make this behave like under udevd?
[11:05] <shey> morningwalker: theres a few, routers, ports...
[11:05] <Pirate_Hunter> can someone provide me a tut on using quota in ubuntu please, google is not my friend :/
[11:05] <hookares> could anyone help me? can't figure out how to make xchat remember session (channels) on exit... tried Uber Script from http://digdilem.org/irc/index.cgi?type=Xchat but its session saving feature does not work properly
[11:06] <morningwalker> OH ok
[11:06] <lulala_> Hello everyone
[11:06] <erUSUL> morningwalker: and installing the ssh server and configuring it
[11:07] <chilli_> hello lulala
[11:07] <lulala_> What is the opposite of "user space"?
[11:07] <verbosity> is there a way to turn off the 3d effects? i cant get into x anymore..
[11:07] <lulala_> System space?
[11:07] <chilli_> i guess so
[11:07] <lulala_> Hi chilli_
[11:07] <morningwalker> urUSUL: configure it what way??
[11:07] <shey> lulala_: non-user space
[11:07] <morningwalker> !ssh
[11:07] <chilli_> lulala_ hello
[11:08] <lulala_> shey: there needs to be a different name
[11:08] <chilli_> how do you send the messages that are in yellow
[11:08] <lulala_> admin space?
[11:08] <R4kk00n> lulala_, "kernel space" i'd say
[11:08] <chilli_> google it lol
[11:08] <lulala_> R4kk00n: Hmm, could be. So in my case I wrote an installer for a program that you can install in "user space"
[11:09] <lulala_> So you don't need admin rights
[11:09] <morningwalker> how should i make exception on firewall port 22 so that i connect connect by ssh
[11:09] <chilli_> k i gotta go guys
[11:09] <chilli_> good night
[11:09] <R4kk00n> i guess this is an improper use for the "userspace" term
[11:09] <lulala_> R4kk00n: Is "kernel space" the right name to express the opposite of "user space"
[11:10] <lulala_> Aha, ok
[11:10] <morningwalker> ﻿ how should i make exception on firewall port 22 so that i connect connect by ssh
[11:10] <lulala_> What do you reckon
[11:11] <R4kk00n> lulala_,  it's like this: http://www.google.com/search?q=define:+user+space
[11:11] <peppe__> Hi, Ubuntu can read FATX partition?
[11:12] <Ihavenoname> Hey anyone know a good program to convert a pdf file into a text file?
[11:12] <koshari> peppe__ not as far is i have found
[11:12] <lulala_> R4kk00n: Well, so "user space" should be fine
[11:12] <lulala_> I guess I call the opposite "kernel space"
[11:12] <damo> uwhat [rograms can i use on ubuntu to make a webpage? im new here:P
[11:12] <peppe__> koshari ok thanks.....it is for my xbox
[11:12] <dr_willis> http://www.xbox-linux.org/wiki/Mounting_FATX_partitions_HOWTO
[11:13] <koshari> peppe__: not many other things use fatx, i take it the drive is locked
[11:13] <damo> what programs can i use on ubuntu to make a webpage? im new here:P
[11:13] <jrib> Ihavenoname: pdftotext in the poppler-utils package
[11:13] <morningwalker> someone PLEASE help... how to make  firewall to allow connections from port 22
[11:14] <peppe__> dr_willis if i get mount -t fatx /dev/hda50 /mnt/E ...the filesystem fatx is wrong for ubuntu
[11:14] <dr_willis> morningwalker,  you could just turn off the firewall.. or open the port.
[11:14] <damo> morningwalker>: u have to go into your modem/router and change porta
[11:14] <jrib> morningwalker: the firewall has no rules defined by default, so port 22 is not blocked by default
[11:14] <damo> ports
[11:14] <dr_willis> peppe__,  that may be fatx is only avail on xbox-linux.
[11:14] <morningwalker> how to open port then??
[11:14] <damo> what programs can i use on ubuntu to make a webpage?
[11:14] <peppe__> I must install an O.S. xbox-linux?? xebian??
[11:14] <jrib> morningwalker: for your router, see http://portforward.com/
[11:15] <Starnestommy> morningwalker: run something that listens on that port, e.g. sshd
[11:15] <dr_willis> damo,  fire up the package manager and search for html editor. theres several
[11:15] <NWM> Ubuntu does not detect my harddrive, "sudo fdisk -l" shows nothing, how can I install?
[11:15] <damo> cheers
[11:15] <ghaleb> morningwalker,  sudo iptables -A  INPUT -p tcp --dport 22 -j ACCEPT
[11:16] <dr_willis> NWM,  what kind of drive is this? if the fdisk -l, dosent show it.. then well. thats not a good sign.
[11:16] <dr_willis> that is an L as in list. :) in lower case..
[11:16] <damo> dr_willis: what is the best for a beginner
[11:16] <NWM> dr_willis, nothing exotic, a SATA
[11:16] <dr_willis> damo,  a good book on html codeing and a basic text editor.
[11:17] <morningwalker> ghaleb, there wont be any output to that??
[11:17] <damo> no i want to do it the easy wau
[11:17] <erUSUL> NWM: which controller is it attached to? can you see it on boot messages (dmesg) ?
[11:17] <damo> way
[11:17] <jrib> ghaleb: you should check if he's defined any iptables rules first since ubuntu has none by default.  It's most likely a different issue
[11:17] <dr_willis> damo,  that wasent what you asked however. :)
[11:17] <damo> oki
[11:17] <ghaleb> jrib, yeah .. I thought I saw he wants to open a port
[11:18] <damo> :(
[11:18] <NWM> erUSUL, how would I find those things out?
[11:18] <ghaleb> morningwalker, sudo iptables -L
[11:18] <damo> can u help still>?
[11:18] <dr_willis> damo,  a lot will depend totally on what you are doing exactly, how big a project.. kind of page.. ect...
[11:18] <damo> its small
[11:18] <damo> just a normal webpage
[11:18] <morningwalker> that will be the output??
[11:18] <dr_willis> damo,  i rarely do more then the most basic of html tasks.   theres dozens if not hundereds of simple html editors out. or you can use abiword/openoffice to do it.
[11:18] <Gargantua> Ummm.
[11:19] <dr_willis> !html
[11:19] <Gargantua> When I boot into my ubuntu install I get a sh commandline.
[11:19] <damo> ok
[11:19] <erUSUL> NWM: "dmesg | less" to see kernel boot up msgs. "lspci" shows the controllers cards on the computer you can paste it on paste.ubuntu.com
[11:19] <Gargantua> My /home is empty.
[11:19] <KaRnA> hi
[11:19] <KaRnA> i m getting low volume i ubuntu, which is the best codec for mp3
[11:20] <Pirate_Hunter> hmm how do i remove and a private network ip and key from my system save on ssh?
[11:20] <Gargantua> Any idea why I'm getting this? any help is appericated.
[11:21] <NWM> erUSUL, I am using the CTRL-ALT-F2 terminal, so I cant paste, but lscpi mentions "SATA IDE Controllers"
[11:21] <dusty_> Does anyone know a good website to download backgrounds/wallpapers from ?
[11:21] <Gargantua> startx doesn't work, the /bin dir has only like 10 files.
[11:21] <bob1> I have an old Win98 Frankenstein that I want to run Ubuntu on. I have a live CD and I everything seems to progress OK in "Safe mode"
[11:21] <shey> NWM: sudo apt-get install pastebinit
[11:21] <Gargantua> dusty_, http://orz.4chan.org/wg/
[11:21] <bob1> Sorry then the CRT goes black
[11:21] <Pirate_Hunter> Gargantua: i doubt it is a ssh commandline more like something went wrong and you need to crrect it manually, you could always try startx and see if anything happens
[11:21] <erUSUL> NWM: use pastebinit like shey said
[11:22] <jrib> dusty_: art.gnome.org
[11:22] <Pirate_Hunter> !themes
[11:22] <dr_willis> bob1,  for some older machines. it may be better to use the alternative-installer cd.
[11:22] <NWM> erUSUL, it couldnt find the package
[11:22] <Gargantua> Pirate_Hunter, I mean sh commandline.
[11:22] <NWM> erUSUL, running off of the LiveCD atm
[11:22] <dusty_> Thank you guys.
[11:22] <Gargantua> it gives a message then the commandline is something like "(initsomething) stdin".
[11:22] <erUSUL> NWM: :| which kind of ide controler? intel; sis; via etc...
[11:23] <bob1> dr_willis, I'm not familiar. What is and where do I get it?
[11:23] <erUSUL> Gargantua: you are on the initrd very basic shell
[11:23] <NWM> erUSUL, intel
[11:23] <erUSUL> NWM: did you look into dmesg output? intel controllers are well supported
[11:24] <Gargantua> erUSUL, yes I am.
[11:24] <Gargantua> I wonder why.
[11:24] <Pirate_Hunter> Gargantua: if your system starts up looking like dos/bash than it might mean many things x crashed and a simple startx command will work, you edited a file you shouldnt have and need to give it correct permission, however you havent explained much so its hard to know
[11:24] <Gargantua> IT was working beautifully a day ago.
[11:24] <Gargantua> Pirate_Hunter, it's not bash.
[11:24] <Gargantua> it's a initd primitive shell.
[11:24] <NWM> erUSUL, running in command-line atm, the output is longer than the screen, nothing that I can see says anything relevant though
[11:25] <Gargantua> Pirate_Hunter, [03:21:08] <Gargantua> startx doesn't work, the /bin dir has only like 10 files.
[11:25] <erUSUL> NWM: thats what pagers were programmed for use "dmesg | less" and use spc bar to move
[11:25] <Gargantua> So any ideae why tis might happen erUSUL?
[11:26] <bob1> dr_willis, I am booting up as we chat, It has stalled at a screen that talks about Ubuntu haveing no warenties
[11:26] <vadim> hi everyone. How can i make mp3 from audio cd?
[11:27] <zmyrgel> has anyone succesfully compiled the latest awesome on ubuntu?
[11:27] <erUSUL> Gargantua: well may happen when linux does not find the hard disk (problem with the controller ...) or the partitions changed under linux feet or something like that ...
[11:27] <bob1> dir
[11:27] <shey> vadim: audio cd extractor
[11:27] <NWM> erUSUL, there are a few mentions of ata and scsi, what should I be looking for?
[11:27] <erUSUL> Gargantua: did you changed anything that can explain why it stoped working?
[11:28] <Gargantua> Not at all.
[11:28] <Gargantua> I cannot think of any reason.
[11:28] <_empa__> how do i set up dual screen in ubuntu with a intel 82855?
[11:28] <bob1> dr_willis, Kind, gental all knowinf dr_willis, Don't leave me now
[11:28] <_empa__> is that not supported yet?
[11:28] <morningwalker> how to update linux kernel??
[11:29] <shey> _empa__: google ubuntu multiple display
[11:29] <jrib> !alternate | bob1
[11:29] <erUSUL> NWM: if the controller is intel somehing like ata_piix or ahci (lines beggining with)
[11:29] <erUSUL> Gargantua: changed something in the bios? repartitioning?
[11:29] <Pirate_Hunter> how do i remove ip and key from save in ssh config?
[11:29] <_empa__> shey: just a lot of reading, been reading for some couple of hours already.  but this is not a function of ubuntu i suppose?
[11:29] <morningwalker> !linux kernal update
[11:30] <morningwalker> !linuxkernel
[11:30] <Gargantua> Nope.
[11:30] <shey> _empa__: if you go into the screens options in systems you can do it there.
[11:30] <Gargantua> Wait.
[11:30] <Gargantua> Hmmm.
[11:30] <Gargantua> This is unlikely, BUT.
[11:30] <shey> _empa__: IF your hardware is setup properly.
[11:30] <FloodBot2> Gargantua: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[11:30] <bob1> dr_willis, I will look for it. Thanks!
[11:30] <morningwalker> hgkmhgkhgkmm
[11:30] <Gargantua> I did install an ext3 driver on my Windows boot.
[11:31] <morningwalker> how to convert FAT32 to NTFS??
[11:31] <jrib> morningwalker: update-manager will tell you there is a new kernel package and you can update it there (like every other package in ubuntu)
[11:31] <bob1> jrib, just stuck on this page, no input from keyboard or mouse. I may d/l the other CD and give it a go.
[11:31] <Ace_NoOne> lastfmsubmitd question: How can I change the last.fm group after installing? I kinda messed that up during the initial setup
[11:32] <jrib> bob1: if you did the "verify the integrity of the cd" check at the first boot screen from the dvd and it passed then the alt cd is the next thing to try
[11:32] <xbxb> is it possible to create a new block device that is a subset of another block device? For example, if I got /dev/sda1 and I want the bytes xxxx to yyyy of /dev/sda1 to form a new block device.
[11:32] <jrib> bob1: s/dvd/cd probably
[11:32] <bob1> jrib, OK thanks!!!!!!
[11:32] <Slart> can someone please check if the website http://www.kremalicious.com/2008/05/using-the-canoscan-lide-500f-with-mac-os-x-leopard/ makes firefox crawl.. try scrolling up and down... it's barely usable on my computer
[11:33] <Pirate_Hunter> how do i remove ip and key from save through ssh?
[11:33] <NWM> erUSUL, there doesnt seem to be any mention of my hdd, it does mention my cdrom though
[11:33] <NWM> erUSUL, the cdrom is connected to the older drive-connection (I forgot name, the one with the wide cables)
[11:33] <jrib> Slart: wfm in ephy
[11:34] <Slart> jrib: hmm.. thanks.. perhaps it's a firefox thing..
[11:34] <jeff007> bonjour à tous, je souhaite remplacer linux suze par hardy sur mon msi wind notebook pourriez vous m'aider? je n'aime pas la suze ;)
[11:34] <Slart> !fr | jeff007
[11:34] <jrib> Slart: ok in firefox too
[11:35] <erUSUL> Slart: my computer does not crawl but the page is heavy and the cpus go to 100%
[11:35] <Slart> erUSUL, jrib: thanks
[11:36] <morningwalker> guys, i cant add this rules to iptables >> http://www.itech7.com/Security/Secure-your-Linux-Box-using-IPTables-Firewall
[11:36] <erUSUL> NWM: ParalelATA vs SerialATA :). well i would recommend to check the bios and puth the sata controller in ahci mode if you can
[11:36] <NWM> ok, ill try that
[11:36] <jrib> morningwalker: you seem to just be ignoring what people tell you for some reason.  What did 'sudo iptables -L' return for you?  use pastebin
[11:37] <xbxb> how can I format a USB stick from within Linux? My file browser doesn't show that functionality
[11:37] <Slart> xbxb: you can use gparted to format it
[11:37] <jrib> xbxb: use gparted
[11:37] <xbxb> thanks
[11:37] <morningwalker> jrib:pastebin site please??
[11:37] <Gargantua> So do you suggest anything to start upon erUSUL?
[11:37] <jrib> morningwalker: paste.ubuntu.com
[11:38] <morningwalker> http://paste.ubuntu.com/44152/
[11:39] <morningwalker> jrib : http://paste.ubuntu.com/44152/
[11:39] <NWM> erUSUL, its an option has an option for AHCI, its currently set to disabled, Is their any risk to the data on that drive by changing the setting?
[11:39] <jrib> morningwalker: ok.  So are you still trying to setup ssh?
[11:39] <erUSUL> Gargantua: dunno really... if it worked and saddenly stoped to work ... is a mistery.. maybe you can boot into a livecd and check the health of your disk mount the ubuntu partition and check if everything is ok etc. gather some more info about the problem
[11:39] <morningwalker> not for my pc
[11:40] <morningwalker> jrib:one of my friends computer
[11:40] <erUSUL> NWM: no; just changes the mode the sata controller is used by the drivers
[11:40] <Alex19577> irc://irc.1andallIRC.net/cosmic
[11:40] <jrib> !ssh > morningwalker
[11:40] <jrib> morningwalker: are you on your friend's computer now?
[11:40] <morningwalker> jrib: no. my own
[11:41] <Gargantua> erUSUL, hmmm, Checking it out from Windows, it apears very normal.
[11:41] <morningwalker> i can connect to my computer from his, but not from mine to his
[11:41] <Pirate_Hunter> Gargantua: doesnt it give you any sort of explanation of what might be the problem?
[11:41] <jrib> morningwalker: then tell him to follow the wiki page I just gave you and tell him to come here if he has any trouble (or ask you).  You just need to install the openssh-server package and setup your router (see portforward.com and the wiki)
[11:42] <cycloudyang> hello~
[11:42] <cycloudyang>  and does anyone know where i can get the current murrine engine?
[11:42] <cycloudyang>  i can not get it through svn in a terminal due to my ISP.
[11:43] <Gargantua> Pirate_Hunter, I don't see anhing, nope.
[11:43] <mrynit_> will ubuntu 8.04 ever use newer kernels? anything above 2.6.24
[11:43] <Gargantua> the strange thing is.
[11:43] <jrib> cycloudyang: your isp blocks svn?
[11:43] <Gargantua> From within the sh commando, none of this apears, it appears as a completely different partation.
[11:44] <Gargantua> For example, my /bin dir has 106 objects, from within the commandline, only around 10.
[11:44] <Gargantua> using ls -a
[11:44] <kkrusty> can I have a special package installed during installation? for instance openssh
，yes, i hate this, but i have no choice
[11:44] <jrib> Gargantua: are you in busybox?
[11:44] <Pirate_Hunter> Gargantua: it is hard to get help when you dont even know what might have caused the problem especially if it was working before
[11:44] <Ihavenoname> Hey anyone know a good program to convert a pdf file into a text file?
[11:45] <jrib> Ihavenoname: did you try the one I gave you earlier?
[11:45] <Gargantua> jrib, yes.
[11:45] <jrib> Gargantua: you need to state that
[11:45] <Ihavenoname> Care to post it again?
[11:45] <Gargantua> Ok, does this change anything?
[11:45] <jrib> Gargantua: maybe someone else has a better idea now
[11:46] <jrib> Ihavenoname: pdftotext in poppler-utils
[11:46] <jrib> Gargantua: you don't get any messages before it dumps you to busybox?
[11:46] <KenBW2> Whenever i do something big(ish) with compiz lie wobbling a window, or flipping the cube my music stops playing. Using ALSA and ATI restricted drivers.
[11:46] <KenBW2> why?
[11:47] <acp_> hi I know viruses is out of the dictionary of ubuntu, but is there a application that when you insert a flash drive or any external drive it will scan it first and check if the device has a virus?
[11:47] <Ihavenoname> How do I access poppler-utils?
[11:47] <jrib> cycloudyang: are you positive your ISP blocks you from using the svn client?  Did you ask them about it?
[11:47] <jrib> Ihavenoname: it's a package you install
[11:47] <jrib> !software > Ihavenoname
[11:47] <Gargantua> jrib, none indiciating an error what-so-ever.
 or is there a great site providing the current murrine in deb file?
[11:48] <Gargantua> Just "Welcome to busybox debian 4.12.25 blahblahblah"
, yes, i'm sure of that.
[11:48] <jrib> cycloudyang: there are tarballs of releases on the murrine site, that's all I see
[11:49] <Pirate_Hunter> Gargantua: ls you var log than cat some of the files and read if it says anythign important, try looking for recent files
svn: PROPFIND of '/svn/murrine/trunk': 200 OK (http://svn.gnome.org)
[11:49] <NWM> erUSUL, its working now, thank you
, that's what it tells me when i want to get the svn murrine in a terminal
[11:50] <jrib> cycloudyang: you need to actual ask your isp directly if it is blocking you from using the svn client.  I've never heard of that before
[11:50] <jrib> cycloudyang: what version of ubuntu and svn?
, tarballs? sorry for my ignorance about ubuntu.
[11:50] <KenBW2> Whenever i do something big(ish) with compiz lie wobbling a window, or flipping the cube, or playing a Flash file my music stops playing. Using ALSA and ATI restricted drivers. Any ideas why?
[11:51] <jrib> cycloudyang: tarball is like a zip
[11:51] <Flannel> cycloudyang: Er, the svn is likely an http URL, they block http traffic?
, i am in hard heron
[11:51] <wers> i copied  my config files from my old computer to this one. i had permission problems and i cant login there now. i'm on a live cd right now. on the live cd, in my home folder, i can't see any file now. how do i fix this?
, my isp is cmcc or China Mobile. its network is really a pain access~
, by the way, i can open the murrine webpage in my firefox
[11:52] <jrib> cycloudyang: what does 'apt-cache policy subversion' return? use paste.ubuntu.com
, thanks for your patience~~
, i will try it now
[11:53] <ross_> i am having some trouble with windows media player files
[11:53] <ross_> it doesn't work
[11:53] <Flannel> cycloudyang: Whats the URL of their svn repo?
[11:54] <jrib> !restricted > ross_
,subversion:
[11:54] <cycloudyang>   Installed: 1.4.6dfsg1-2ubuntu1

[11:54] <FloodBot2> cycloudyang: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[11:54] <KenBW2> ross_: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted extras
[11:54] <ross_> it keeps showing "cache fill xx.xx"
, svn repo? the "repo" is meaning...?
[11:55] <Flannel> cycloudyang: What line do they give for you to check out a working copy?
, i paste the result of the " apt-cache policy subversion", can you see it?
[11:56] <jrib> cycloudyang: yep, I'm interested in the answer to Flannel's question too
[11:56] <lint> can someone tell me the command for a distribution upgrade?
[11:56] <Flannel> !upgrade | lint
[11:56] <jrib> !upgrade > lint
[11:56] <ph8> in /etc/rc6.d I have 'S02s1' and 'S10s2'
[11:56] <ph8> will s1 shutdown before s2?
, who are "they" in your question?
,  who are "they" in your question?
[11:57] <Flannel> cycloudyang: the murrine people
[11:57] <cycloudyang>  svn checkout http://svn.gnome.org/svn/murrine/trunk/ murrine
[11:57] <Flannel> cycloudyang: can you browse to http://svn.gnome.org/svn/murrine/trunk/ ?
[11:58] <Flannel> in a web browser, that is.
, actually, i just copy it from a theme site.
[11:58] <lint> are there any chat channels on freenode?
, affirmative
[11:58] <Flannel> cycloudyang: alright, that's a better way to go anyway
[11:58] <ghost> Hi. I'm having problems with audio and WLAN but I have read that it will work with the 2.6.25 kernel. Does anyone know how I can install the 2.6.25 kernel fur 8.04?
[11:58] <jrib> lint: #ubuntu-offtopic is one
[11:58] <Flannel> cycloudyang: I doubt svn is being blocked, since its just http traffic, but grab it from a theme site anyway
, : )
[11:59] <jrib> Flannel, cycloudyang: I'm pretty sure I've had this error before, but don't remember much more
[11:59] <Hibit> Hello :)
[12:00] <zvacet> ghost : http://www.ubuntugeek.com/automatically-compile-and-install-the-latest-kernel-using-kernelcheck-in-ubuntu.html
, oh, i just forget. when i first trying to get it from svn, it can not even resovle the domain name
[12:01] <Pirate_Hunter> how do i reset user password so they can set it themselves?
[12:01] <Flannel> cycloudyang: ah, that must have been a temporary issue, or I guess it may have to do with some sort of proxy
[12:01] <yui> hi
, and when i add proxy, it can resolve it, but keeps telling me "200 ok"
[12:01] <Flannel> Pirate_Hunter: They can set their passwords always anyway.
[12:02] <Flannel> Pirate_Hunter: but if you want to force them to do it, passwd -e username, will make their password expire on login, forcing them to pick a new one.
[12:02] <rconan> has anyone else had a message from pidgin saying that login.live.com uses an unknown root certificate?
[12:02] <ghost> zvacet: I tryed this but it wants to install 2.6.26
[12:02] <yui> ´ó¼ÒºÃ
[12:02] <Flannel> !cn | yui
, unfortunatelly i must add that proxy, otherwise, i even can not get access the net.
[12:02] <Pirate_Hunter> Flannel: this is for the kids i have set passwords on their accounts, but now i want to reset because i wish for them to put it themselves (to give them a sense of security & privacy) and thanx
[12:02] <jrib> Flannel: didn't know about -e.  Does the gui prompt them when that happens?
[12:02] <Hibit> ïàïóð ÑÜÌ
[12:03] <Flannel> jrib: I... have no idea.  I imagine it would have to.
[12:03] <Hibit> äàí áóõòåð ñöàâéêåì
[12:03] <Hibit> ?
[12:03] <jrib> Hibit: english here please
[12:03] <Flannel> Pirate_Hunter: passwd has all sorts of goodies, check out the manpage for more options
[12:03] <Hibit> îê
[12:03] <Chousuke> !ru
[12:03] <yui> ubottu		£ºhi
, you just mentioned a method of grabbing murrine from a theme site?
[12:03] <Flannel> Pirate_Hunter: also, as jrib questioned, double check that that works with GUI logins too.  (try logging in as them, see that it asks for a new password)
[12:04] <Pirate_Hunter> Flannel: will do so
[12:04] <Flannel> cycloudyang: er... you did.  Didn't you?  I'd definately grab it as a packaged theme instead of svn
, well, thanks all the way
[12:05] <d1337r> hi all
, yes, i did. but the newest version is 0.53.*, which is some months ago....
[12:05] <Pirate_Hunter> Flannel: how do i remove ip and key from ssh?
[12:06] <fam> hi folks: i need some help, with helping! =)
[12:06] <Flannel> Pirate_Hunter: What?
[12:07] <fam> last post in http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=908429   => what teh hell is that device and monitor section in xorg.conf? configured and nothing?
[12:07] <Pirate_Hunter> Flannel: yesterday i sent files from one comp to another through ssh and it saved the private ip and key of the comp but now i wish to remove it since i'll be formatting the other system soon
[12:08] <fam> locate knownhots or hosts :)
[12:08] <Pirate_Hunter> Flannel: how do i remove ip and key from ssh?
[12:09] <wers> how do I make a new user account in my ubuntu install using a live cd?
[12:09] <fam> Pirate_Hunter:  /home/fam/.ssh/known_hosts
[12:10] <jrib> wers: maybe you can mount it and chroot, then use adduser.  But why would you want to do it this way?
[12:11] <fam> man adduser says useradd might be friendlier
[12:11] <Pirate_Hunter> fam: what about the ip or it doesnt matter since the key has been deleted?
[12:11] <jrib> fam: other way
[12:11] <fam> jrib: i was woundering yeah
[12:12] <wers>  jrib, cant login with my account. i have only one account
[12:12] <fam> Pirate_Hunter:  well i dont know, what do you mean by ip? i dont understand the problem ... in the known_hosts there is the data after  typing yes to be added to known_hosts
[12:12] <wers> jrib: i copied my config settings from my old computer. cant login to my account now because the permissions for the config files are wrong
[12:12] <jrib> wers: why not use "recovery mode"?
[12:13] <Flannel> wers: and at that, just use recovery mode to fix the permissions
[12:13] <markelhas> hi ppl, how can a set a network connection as default?
[12:14] <Pirate_Hunter> fam: by ip i mean my personal network ip that belong to the other comp the way i understand if i type ssh [netwrokip] i have to verify the key and ssh saves it but does it save the ip address as well that i used, if so how do i remove it?
[12:14] <wers> jrib and Flannel, i tried that. i just dont think that i did the right thing. i chose the recovery mode in grub then the root terminal. from there i did startx but x just didnt start
[12:14] <fam> markelhas:  in KDE i use Knetwork manager to setup static ip.
[12:14] <Flannel> wers: No, x wont work.  You'll have to fix it from the terminal
[12:14] <gino> i bouth just a new harddisk and i made tree di
[12:14] <wers> ooh. Flannel, how do i fix it on the terminal, then?
[12:14] <markelhas> fam, my problem is as GPRS/UTS connection that is establish but firefox and other can't use it
[12:14] <gino> different partition on it, buy
[12:15] <markelhas> fam, *UMTS
[12:15] <fam> Pirate_Hunter:  well, IP i am not sure, because it makes no sense to remember IPs, because they change a lot, ssh remembers mac adress ( an adress in ur entwork controler, which is build in and will not change)
[12:16] <markelhas> fam, for example in windows it's possible to set one connection has default, how can i do it in linux?
[12:16] <gino> hi, i just bought a new harddisk and i made tree different partition on it, but now i don't have the authorization to write on it, can anyone help me?
[12:16] <Flannel> wers: chown or chmod
[12:16] <gino> i've tried that allready
[12:16] <Pirate_Hunter> fam: ty for the explanation im new to ssh just used it to send files over, i thought it saved ips but than you're right they do change
[12:16] <ross_> i still have problems with wmp files after installing ubuntu restricted extras
[12:16] <wers> i'm on a live cd right now. how do i do that?
[12:17] <abby87> gino: which format did u partition?
[12:17] <ross_> it won't play - it just says "cache filled xx.xx%"
[12:17] <gino> ext3
[12:17] <ross_> can anyone help me please?
[12:17] <fam> markelhas:  i really have no idea, maybe you should ask someone who is pro to network stuff! i would guess around and mess your system for sure ;D

[12:27] <Dawson> Hi, I am trying to MOUNT my drive over the internet (two servers in two different locations entirely) but it just appears to hang without connecting, but for good measure I can connect via ssh no problem. Does mount try to connect via a specific port?
[12:27] <n3hima> Dawson, are you tryiing to sshfs?
[12:28] <Dawson> n3ima: Ah no i am not? is that preferred?
[12:28] <bXi> not perse prefered but it might help if you tell us how your mounting
[12:28] <n3hima> Dawson, you can if you want, I don't quite understand what you are trying to do
[12:30] <Dawson> mount 88.0.0.1:/Gateway/6/ /Dir
[12:30] <Dawson> thats the command i am running
[12:30] <GZ_hang> ./join #ubuntu-cn
[12:30] <Dawson> but different ip.
[12:30] <n3hima> Dawson, you cant just mount a partition on a remote machine, I would recommend sshfs
[12:31] <bXi> hmm that should work
[12:31] <bXi> if the server has nfs set up
[12:31] <Dawson> Yes both do, they connect locally, even across the internet with one, but not the other way
[12:31] <Dawson> i will look into sshfs thank you

[12:53] <Jowi> Ardorin, nothing to be done about it unless you have BACKUPS

[12:53] <maniheer> Ardorin: or testdisk
[12:53] <Ardorin> Jowi, hahah. I have them, I just thought it would be so devastating.
[12:54] <Ardorin> maniheer, what's testdisk?
[12:54] <maniheer> it lets u recover files
[12:54] <erUSUL> Ardorin: photorec from testdisk maybe can help. but do not touch the hard drive do everything from livecd

[13:05] <rysiek|pl> anybody might point me in the right direction as to why the heck does ssh client segfault everytime I try to use it?
[13:05] <rysiek|pl> it worked AOK yesterday, there were no updates since then
[13:06] <rysiek|pl> so it kinda got broken out of the thin air
[13:06] <erUSUL> !kernel | ghost
[13:06] <Dekkard> !ssh
[13:07] <rysiek|pl> and... it works AOK on mo second machine
[13:07] <ghost> thanks erUSUL. I'll check this out

[13:07] <rysiek|pl> Dekkard: that's only about usage
[13:07] <Dekkard> rysiek|pl:  did it ever work on this machine?

[13:08] <Dekkard> wow
[13:08] <fam> rysiek|pl:  u ssh to a server and while connecting its crashed?
[13:08] <Aquahallic> is there a way to use the terminal in ubuntu to talk to serial devices... like you'd do with putty??
[13:08] <phoenix116> has noone else tried to update kernel to 2.6.27rc5?
[13:08] <rysiek|pl> Dekkard: Mandrake 9.2 through 10.1 through Debian woody through Ubuntu 5.04 through Kubuntu 8.04
[13:08] <rysiek|pl> Aquahallic: quite a lot, really
[13:09] <erkel> hiya. Anyone familiar with raid able to give me a hand with something?
[13:09] <rysiek|pl> Aquahallic: you can simply wriote and read from the /dev/ files for example
[13:09] <phoenix116> #ubuntu+1
[13:09] <rysiek|pl> Aquahallic: with echo and cat
[13:09] <erUSUL> abc1234567: really dunno what to do ... please paste the output of « dpkg -l | grep '^i' | awk ' $2~/postgr/ {print $2} ' »
[13:09] <daedra> anyone come across this problem? "Invalid or incomplete multibyte or wide character" it appears to be a fault with locale/character support

[13:09] <daedra> (a with umlaut)
[13:09] <playya> anyone knows how to fix the sata problem with kernel >=2.6.24.19? i already tried ide0=noprobe.
[13:09] <rysiek|pl> Aquahallic: but that's quite cumbersome; gimme a sec, and I'll remind myself the name of the serial terminal app
[13:09]  * PiercedWolf gives rysiek|pl

[13:39] <abc1234567> erUSUL : http://paste.ubuntu.com/44188/
[13:39] <tsuna27> can any1 help me??
[13:39] <octoberdan> When I'm on a terminal outside of X, only a tiny box within the center of my screen contains text. Is there a way to use all of the display?
[13:40] <OrangeKyo> octoberden, how small is the font?
[13:41] <octoberdan> OrangeKyo: Fairly small, but I prefer it this size. I don't just want to increase the size of things, I want the unused realistate
[13:41] <Alpha232> ok this is starting to piss me off...
[13:41] <erUSUL> abc1234567: dpkg -l | grep '^i' | awk ' $2~/postg/ {print $2}
[13:42] <Alpha232> why is the powerdown for the monitor setup on the install CD... and how do i disable it because i have multiple computers i've installed on and it always goes black and never comes back.
[13:42] <octoberdan> OrangeKyo: I'm on a laptop
[13:42] <xbxb> does the file system and operations on it (like mounting an USB flash drive) work even when Ubuntu is running from a live CD without any harddrive present?
[13:42] <OrangeKyo> octoberden, ok cuz, it might be just your graphics card. my terminal outside of x windowing system, uses the whole screen with large font like its 800x600 stretched or something
[13:42] <OrangeKyo> octoberden, same
[13:42] <abc1234567> erUSUL done  it  http://paste.ubuntu.com/44188/
[13:42] <erUSUL> abc1234567: dpkg -l | grep '^i' | awk ' $2~/postg/ {print $2} ' | sudo xargs dpkg -r --force-all
[13:42] <octoberdan> During POST I believe it takes up the whole screen
[13:43] <Sir> anyone here recomend a good pos system
[13:43] <erUSUL> abc1234567: just add the last command to the other one (if you do cursor up the last command will appear)
[13:43] <erUSUL> abc1234567: be carefull do not misstype this time
[13:43] <Alpha232> sir_keebler: Micros
[13:44] <sir_keebler> micros?
[13:45] <Alpha232> sir_keebler: yes Micros
[13:45] <sir_keebler> k, ty
[13:46] <abc1234567> ﻿erUSUL : i was copy and pasting :)  I think this is now removed i suppose i can check with  sudo dpkg --configure -a - thank you very much
[13:46] <erUSUL> abc1234567: no problem; but check if the isuue is resolved before thanking
[13:47] <erUSUL> abc1234567: XD

[13:48] <Arnell> K thanks
[13:49] <octoberdan> I think the solution is to mess around with the boot arguments
[13:49] <octoberdan> in menu.lst
[13:49] <octoberdan> vga, specifically
[13:49] <tavi> i've installed war rock...a finish instalation ...the he ask me to install directx don't know what version ....i cancelled cause i didn't wan't to install ... so now show me a windows whit a complete and a ok ...i press ok and nothing ....someone help me?

[13:50] <Dabbu> i am using USB modem to connect to internet but it get disconnected every 10-20 sec...why ?
[13:50] <lovinglinux> Hi. I need some help to configure a cron job or session based on day of the week. I have 7 different commands that I need to run at start up, each one for each day.
[13:50] <tavi> i pressed no and after that nothing
[13:50] <octoberdan> So, before X starts it'd be run level 3?
[13:50] <Jowi> tavi, never install directx under wine. good instincts :)
[13:50] <Arnell> my problem was that I tried installing Ubuntu several times but each time stalling at Busybox (INITRAMFS) then no activity after that. what else other than Memtest should I do to get Ubuntu installed?
[13:50] <ben34> hi how do i install my c man pages
[13:50] <abc1234567> erUSUL : some issue with the updates and authorisation but I think I will try and solve this myself....once again thanks very much for this
[13:50] <tavi> i pressed ok on that window whit ok and nothing
[13:51] <tavi> so how i do to play the game?
[13:51] <Alpha232> sir_keebler: ahhh ok you want an open source POS
[13:51] <chorse> ben34: "manpages-dev"
[13:51] <Jowi> tavi, have a here to see if it is working or not: http://appdb.winehq.org/
[13:51] <ben34> thanks
[13:51] <Alpha232> sir_keebler: i honestly don't know one off the top of my head, i'd google it
[13:51] <MrKennie> Arnell: have you tested the CD using the "check CD for defects" option?
[13:52] <sir_keebler> Yes sir, I have googled it, and alot comes up, dont know which one would be a good one :(
[13:52] <mlLK> is there a command like uname for debian?
[13:52] <mlLK> or ubuntu
[13:52] <Arnell> I'll try that now. should I stop the Memtest now?
[13:52] <danand> mlLK - yes
[13:53] <mlLK> danand, well...
[13:53] <danand> mlLK - exactly the same as ubuntu
[13:53] <Alpha232> sir_keebler: well try some out :D
[13:53] <MrKennie> mlLK: uname is pretty standard across all linux platforms
[13:53] <Jowi> mlLK, 'uname' is in ubuntu
[13:53] <sir_keebler> :)
[13:53] <xbxb> :)
[13:53] <mlLK> which option gives distro info then
[13:53] <MrKennie> mlLK: lsb_release
[13:53] <mlLK> k
[13:53] <jrib> mlLK: none.  use lsb_release -a
[13:53] <mlLK> ty
[13:54] <Dabbu>  i am using USB modem to connect to internet but it get disconnected every 10-20 sec...why ?
[13:54] <sir_keebler> was hoping to avoid that, I have already tried 2 of them, lemonpos and donmanalo, couldnt get lemonpos to work, and donmanolo couldnt even get to install
[13:55] <swilky> dabbu 3g or dsl
[13:55] <MrKennie> Dabbu: can you be more specific? like which modem you are using etc
[13:55] <Dabbu> swilky:dsl
[13:55] <Dabbu> MrKennie: BSNL EVDO USB Card
[13:56] <anthony> salut
[13:56] <swilky> dissconected as in you lose internet conectivity or lose connectivity to the usb modem
[13:57] <morningwalker> !fat32
[13:57] <lestat> hi all

[13:58] <Dabbu> swilky: every 0.1 or 0.2 min it get disconnected and then connected again..this is happening now also and for that reason i am replying late
[13:58] <Jowi> tavi, http://appdb.winehq.org/ search after the game on the left hand side or ask in ##winehq

[14:00] <swilky> have you tryed the modem on another pc?
[14:00] <Jowi> !wine
[14:00] <Jowi> !appdb
[14:00] <MrKennie> lestat: type df -h and see if you have tmpfs
[14:01] <lestat> MrKennie: you're right I don't have it anymore :o
[14:01] <lestat> but why ?
[14:01] <MrKennie> lestat: check fstab
[14:01] <Jowi> tavi, http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=3615 (it says "garbage" which means that it is unlikely to run)
[14:01] <MrKennie> oh wait, I don't think it's done in there
[14:02] <tavi> aaa
[14:02] <tavi> now is ee
[14:02] <tavi> now i see
[14:02] <Arnell> Before installing Ubuntu, I'm testing CD for errors and it stops at BusyBox (initramfs) what to do now?
[14:02] <lestat> MrKennie: I don't have tmpfs in fstab
[14:02] <MrKennie> no, I don't think it's setup in there
[14:03] <Jowi> tavi, here's some more info
[14:03] <Jowi> http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=8012

[14:07] <lestat> ok youre right

[14:07] <spunk> Hello guys. I'm looking for a decent non-linear video editor for 8.04. Do you have any suggestions which one I should use?
[14:08] <wers> thanks, Tulimaq !!
[14:08] <lovinglinux> spunk: Pitivi
[14:08] <lovinglinux> spunk: it is in the repos
[14:08] <IndyGunFreak> i dunno if its non-linear, but pitivi is the only one i know of.
[14:09] <spunk> lovinglinux: ok, thanks, I'll check it out!
[14:09] <lovinglinux> as far as I can tell, every digital video editor is non-linear
[14:09] <IndyGunFreak> lovinglinux: could be, thus why i wouldn't know the difference..:)

[14:13] <bosse> hey there, how can I see witch driver xorg are using for my video card???
[14:13] <IndyGunFreak> i believe 8111 on my desktop(can't check right now), but it always works out of the box
[14:13] <NWM> IndyGunFreak, you want me to type it all out -_-;;
[14:13] <IndyGunFreak> NWM: naa, its ok.
[14:13] <NWM> IndyGunFreak, none of them list IPs
[14:14] <lestat> MrKennie: /etc/init.d/bootclean seems involved
[14:14] <NWM> IndyGunFreak, well, except lo, but yeh
[14:14] <erUSUL> brom: latin? as classic latin ? ALEA IACTA EST; MEMENTO MORI ?
[14:14] <MrKennie> lestat: there are various mount scripts that are involved too
[14:14] <erUSUL> bosse: ceck the /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[14:14] <brom> erUSUL: Yes, that sort of latin.
[14:15] <charkee> guys, do u know the typical cpu utilization of a windows guest running on virtual box on a dapper amd64 host?
[14:15] <Tulimaq> ﻿bosse: check /etc/X11/xorg.conf  Section "Device"  Driver ...
[14:15] <NWM> IndyGunFreak, they both have a very high number of dropped packets,
[14:15] <erUSUL> brom: well given it is a death language i doubt there is alocale for it
[14:15] <MrKennie> lestat: try searching through dmesg output see if you get any clues.
[14:16] <douye> Is it possible to get java 1.6.0 on linux? (got 1.5.0 or something atm..)

[15:06] <r_rehashed> i had first used it on vista so i guess it is ntfs.
[15:06] <cojones_> heridanus: it works, i've gotta it to work with my V3C
[15:06] <bazhang> #linuxmint on irc.spotchat.org would be best for that cojones_
[15:06] <cojones_> it's a little finnicky though
[15:06] <rsc_> r_rehashed, you can check via system-> admin-> system monitor.
[15:06] <rsc_> oh okay.
[15:07] <kevink23> erUSUL, thanks, but i tryed that.... and it still says i need to install the flash player on youtube
[15:07] <rsc_> if it's NTFS, I've no idea why it won't mount on Windows but not on Linux :/ sorry.
[15:07] <rsc_> (assuming it can mount on Linux with no problem)

[15:09] <petrolpyro> I'm looking for a little help getting TV out to work with an old ATI radeon. It's a 9100 (R200 core) so the open source drivers should work (apparently) but xrandr refuses to find s-video as an output. have tired compiling latest drivers and that doesn't help either
[15:09] <cojones_> heridanus: so you can't add/remove anything from the V3?
[15:09] <heridanus> cojones_ nope because in moto4lin dont connect
[15:10] <cojones_> bazhang: I'm going there, I know you guys don't like giving help to other distros but I don't believe this to be linux mint specific :/ (figured there's a larger #ubuntu userbase for support as well)
[15:10] <r_rehashed> rsc_: i didn't format the disk to ext3 in ubuntu either
[15:10] <heridanus> but in package wammu (contacts) i can connect

[15:17] <cojones_> heridanus: what exactly have you done to try and get it working?
[15:17] <fr4nk-k> r_rehashed: But I think you'd better do that under Win.
[15:17] <R4kk00n> super-6-1, you'll have to find the needed driver somewhere
[15:17] <kevink23> can someone please help me get the flash player workin on firefox

[15:17] <fr4nk-k> kevink23: sudo aptitude install flashplugin-nonfree
[15:18] <r_rehashed> fr4nk-k: thank you
[15:18] <fr4nk-k> r_rehashed: before you format, just copy all the data to an internal Device with ubuntu.
[15:18] <IndyGunFreak> kevink23: it should be straightforward, are you using 64bit?
[15:18] <fr4nk-k> r_rehashed: np :)
[15:18] <kevink23> fr4nk-k, yeah i tryed that but when i go onto youtube it asks me to install the flash player
[15:18] <R4kk00n> super-6-1, if you want gui you'll need ndis-gtk
[15:19] <r_rehashed> fr4nk-k: yes i will. thanks :)
[15:19] <super-6-1> R4kk00n, thanks
[15:19] <IndyGunFreak> kevink23: are you using 64bit?
[15:19] <petrolpyro> r_rehashed: assuming you are trying to get RW access to NTFS - have you tried fuse?
[15:19] <R4kk00n> or without the hyphen
[15:19] <heridanus> cojones_    i installed  moto4lin   then  i set it as p2k device then   i conected the cable usb then it return this errors
[15:19] <fr4nk-k> r_rehashed: np :)
[15:19] <kevink23> IndyGunFreak, yeah i had it workin the other day, but for some reason when i go onto youtube it saks me for the flash player
[15:19] <cojones_> did you run 'lsusb' at a terminal to get your phone's info?
[15:20] <kevink23> IndyGunFreak, i think im usin 64bit
[15:20] <fr4nk-k> kevink23: I've had the same problem some time ago. But I don't know exactly what I did.... Maybe try it also in #linux@euirc.net?
[15:20] <IndyGunFreak> kevink23: open a terminal and type uname -a and post the output
[15:20] <r_rehashed> petrolpyro: isn't RW access there in ubuntu by default?
[15:20] <heridanus> cojones_ moto4lin depends on p2kmoto?

[15:20] <erpa> hi, is there a way to remova lla packages i've installed on ubuntu?

[15:21] <kevink23> IndyGunFreak, im only new th ubuntu so i dont know whay  mean
[15:21] <erUSUL> r_rehashed: sudo apt-get install ntfs-config then "gksudo ntfs-config"
[15:21] <IndyGunFreak> kevink23: how much more clear can i be, open a terminal(applications/accessories/terminal), type "uname -a" no quotes, hit enter, and paste the output here.
[15:21] <kevink23> fr4nk-k, like it went from workin to not workin all of a sudden?
[15:21] <cojones_> heridanus: i don't think it does but i'm not 100%, did you run 'lsusb' and enter in your phone's ID?
[15:21] <fr4nk-k> kevink23: Exactly.
[15:22] <heridanus> cojones_  i will try now :)

[15:24] <erUSUL> erpa: there is no (easy) way of doing it

[15:26] <IndyGunFreak> kevink23: actualy, you don't follow instructions well, and i have to leave in 5min(although this should only take 30sec)... so we need to be fast about this.. go here..  http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash

[15:27] <kevink23> IndyGunFreak, ok it is downloaded
[15:27] <fr4nk-k> IndyGunFreak: The prob is, you have to compile it then.... sudo aptitude install flashplugin-nonfree is much easier and it's the same, isn't it?
[15:28] <erUSUL> !anyone | RogueEntity
[15:28] <IndyGunFreak> fr4nk-k: you're more than welcome to help him if you like
[15:28] <IndyGunFreak> kevink23: extract the file.. double click it, hit extract, and it will extract a folder to your desktop
[15:28] <fr4nk-k> IndyGunFreak: I already said I'd like to but don't know how. :(
[15:29] <IndyGunFreak> ok then
[15:29] <kevink23> IndyGunFreak, ok.. done
[15:29] <RogueEntity> Ive had an annoying issue that I have not yet been able to resolve. I have a machine that I use for file/print sharing with Samba, and I want to use it as my network gateway as well.
[15:29] <IndyGunFreak> kevink23: move the install_flash_player folder, inside home
[15:29] <cojones_> heridanus:  22b8:4902 <--- that's what you need to put in moto4lin
[15:29] <kevink23> IndyGunFreak, inside home?
[15:29] <RogueEntity> I wrote a simple IPTables script based on a tutorial and everything works for the most part.
[15:29] <IndyGunFreak> kevink23: yes.. unless you want that folder on yoru desktop all the time

[15:30] <erUSUL> RogueEntity: and?
[15:30] <tsuna27> >	I am having a problem with totem this is the error i am getting : could not demultiplex stream"
[15:30] <RogueEntity> There is just one problem, PPTP isnt working.
[15:30] <kevink23> IndyGunFreak, ok its there
[15:30] <Alpha232> omg it's so painful installing on a PII 350mhz
[15:30] <RogueEntity> my dad cannot connect to his company network using PPTP, it just hangs.
[15:30] <johanh> Guys.. I am stuck :P After installing a PCI graphics adapter and booting into text mode all connected USB keyboards repeats the keys pressed, so all characters are sent and displayed on screen twice.. So I am unable to log in. Suggestions? (wtf is going on)
[15:30] <IndyGunFreak> now type in a terminal.. "cd ~/install_flash_player_9_linux" no quotes, then hit enter
[15:30] <fr4nk-k> Alpha232: lol :D
[15:31] <IndyGunFreak> kevink23: you shoudl see the prompt change
[15:31] <RogueEntity> At the time, I was running Debian Lenny. I tried getting help on the debain forums, but no one could provide an answer.
[15:31] <Alpha232> fr4nk-k: seriously man... its been like an hour plus
[15:31] <RogueEntity> I tried posting on EE but I got nothing from them either.
[15:31] <erUSUL> johanh: only explanation i can think of is that usb controller and pci card are sharing interrupt line and tat is cousing weird effects
[15:31] <mulla> server gamesnet
[15:32] <RogueEntity> A friend suggested I use Ubuntu Server instead. So I installed that last night, and configured the network interfaces and my DSL connection. But no joy.
[15:32] <IndyGunFreak> Alpha232: what version are you installing
[15:32] <RogueEntity> my PC's can still connect to the internet, MSN and Skype etc work fine, but PPTP doesnt.
[15:32] <Alpha232> IndyGunFreak: 2.6.24-19-server
[15:32] <IndyGunFreak> hmm

[15:33] <Alpha232> but it has an AGP + 2 Pci + 1 ISA/PCI slots
[15:34] <WastePotato> Terminal.
[15:34] <IndyGunFreak> kevink23: you know where you type, thats a prompt.. it should change to something like this..  ken@ubuntu:~/install_flash_player_9_linux$
[15:34] <IndyGunFreak> note, if your name is not ken, it won't say ken
[15:34] <RogueEntity> Any ideas on how to get PPTP to forward through my Gateway system, running Ubuntu Server 8.04 64bit.
[15:34] <Alpha232> IndyGunFreak / fr4nk-k: so i might just turn it into a router/tunnel server or somthing, nothing disk or cpu intensive
[15:34] <Alpha232> Ahh finally
[15:35] <Alpha232> USer setup!
[15:35] <IndyGunFreak> lol

[15:35] <kevink23> IndyGunFreak, thanks so much for helpin me!
[15:35] <fr4nk-k> Alpha232: ah, ok, i already wondered why you'd use an old machine like that.
[15:35] <ron_o> all descriptions of ddrescue require that you copy one partition to another. Right now, my partition that can handle my 320 GB drive is my /home.. but I'd have to shrink it using Gparted.
[15:35] <IndyGunFreak> kevink23: did it change to the new directory?
[15:35] <ron_o> do I have to copy from one partition to another? can I copy to a directory?
[15:36] <Alpha232> IndyGunFreak / fr4nk-k : have you ever tried the install from SSH?  it hangs when it tries to do the partitions and then kills the ssh session
[15:36] <IndyGunFreak> install from SSH?.. i bet that was entertaining
[15:36] <fr4nk-k> :D
[15:36] <kevink23> IndyGunFreak,  i think so.... but alls i know is that it is workin:)
[15:36] <Alpha232> IndyGunFreak: well I hate having to lug out a 24" monitor
[15:36] <IndyGunFreak> kevink23: ok.
[15:36] <Alpha232> IndyGunFreak: and find a keyboard of somekind
[15:37] <IndyGunFreak> lol
[15:37] <IndyGunFreak> later all.
[15:38] <tdn> How do I get on with this problem: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/43858 I cannot get the drivers for my Ralink USB Wireless network adaptor to work properly. I suspect a bug in the kernel image provided by Ubuntu mirrors. Please help me on this.
[15:38] <Alpha232> tdn: ummm
[15:38] <Alpha232> tdn: why do you suspect it's a bug?
[15:39] <Alpha232> tdn: in the kernel none the less
[15:39] <tdn> Alpha232, because the module fails with a lot of Unknown symbol errors.
[15:39] <netsurf3> tdn did you check that it was detected in dmesg
[15:39] <Alpha232> tdn: ok.... but that doesn't mean it's a bug
[15:39] <Alpha232> tdn: it could mean you have the wrong version of the module
[15:40] <ron_o> Alpha232, it is for him. :)
[15:40] <tdn> netsurf3, yeah. I think I pasted my dmesg on the URL above. As you can see from that there is a lot of errors in dmesg from when trying to load the module.
[15:40] <tdn> Alpha232, how do I check which version I have? And how do I get the correct one?
[15:41] <deepfriedsquirre> I couldn't find my ISO here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes - its name: Ubuntu_8.04_amd64.iso2 - its md5sum hash: 8bba8c5e611c35e14bb477ea15ad68b9
[15:41] <erUSUL> tdn: why did you compiled a external driver instead of using the provided one? /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/rt2x00/rt73usb.ko
[15:41] <djwonk> looking for a rule-of-thumb explanation of when I need a regular package, and when I need a "-dev" package.  Or when I need both.  For example, libxml2  / libxml2-dev
[15:42] <djwonk> -dev provides the library files when one is compiling?  is that all there is to it?
[15:42] <tdn> erUSUL, I did not compile an external driver at first. It was because the provided one did not work.
[15:42] <erUSUL> djwonk: dev package if you plan to develop or compile against the library
[15:42] <arvind_khadri> djwonk, -dev are needed when you are compiling :)
[15:42] <djwonk> erUSUL && arvind_khadri thanks
[15:43] <arvind_khadri> djwonk, welcome :)
[15:43] <ksoviero> is it possible to get the "Encrypt..." option to work?
[15:43] <Alpha232> tdn: did you look at http://ubuntu-virginia.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=884247
[15:44] <Carpe|Diem> Can someone tell me what to add to a standard lilo.conf file to make it boot ubuntu?
[15:44] <arvind_khadri> ksoviero, you need to have gpg keys
[15:44] <ksoviero> arvind_khadri:  how?
[15:45] <tdn> Alpha232, yes. I read that thread. It did not help :(
[15:45] <arvind_khadri> !gpg > ksoviero
[15:45] <Alpha232> tdn: what from that thread did you do?
[15:45] <Alpha232> tdn: did you blacklist the pre-installed drivers ?
[15:45] <arvind_khadri> !lilo > Carpe|Diem
[15:45] <ksoviero> ubottu: oh, thanks
[15:45] <jrib> ksoviero: you should have system -> preferences -> encryption and key rings too
[15:46] <Carpe|Diem> arvind_khadri, I have install backtrack 3, and it has installed lilo. I have no idea how to recover GRUB and make GRUB boot ubuntu & backtrack3...Perhaps you can help me?:P
[15:46] <tdn> Alpha232, I blacklisted the provided drivers, yes. And I tried to compile my own. Did not work though :(
[15:46] <arvind_khadri> !grub > Carpe|Diem
[15:47] <Alpha232> atghhhh the install has stalled on  "scanning the mirror"  at 42% buggerall
[15:47] <arvind_khadri> Alpha232, you shouldnt have done that...
[15:48] <Carpe|Diem> arvind_khadri, thx
[15:48] <Alpha232> arvind_khadri: it didn't give me the choice
[15:48] <arvind_khadri> Carpe|Diem, welcome :)
[15:48] <Alpha232> arvind_khadri: it asked me if i had a proxy server and i said no...
[15:48] <WastePotato> !grub > WastePotato
[15:49] <arvind_khadri> Alpha232, when you configure the net you should have left it ... anyways you will have to wait now... the mirror scanning takes a lots of time
[15:49] <arvind_khadri> Alpha232, alternate cd?
[15:50] <Alpha232> arvind_khadri: yes,  -server
[15:50] <seracht> hi, can you guys recommend any databases for ubuntu
[15:50] <seracht> not mySQL
[15:50] <arvind_khadri> Alpha232, ok .. dont worry.. just wait for sometime... like 15 mins or so
[15:50] <Alpha232> lol
[15:50] <Mavrik_> seracht, postgreSQL is usually the more serious alternative to mysql
[15:50] <Alpha232> arvind_khadri: or longer as it took over an hour just to get to this point
[15:51] <Alpha232> "more serious" lol
[15:51] <arvind_khadri> Alpha232, depends :)
[15:51] <Alpha232> pgsql is great of you want to be anal retentive and have the time and experience for it
[15:51] <Jowi> can anyone recommend a software for ripping tape (yes, audio tape - not kidding) to wav? noise reduction will be a bonus.
[15:51] <Jowi> ...it's out of print childrens stories - i got 20-30 of them
[15:52] <Alpha232> mysql is great if you want to copy/paste and get up and running and learning more about sql rather than try to be wan of the pgpeeps
[15:52] <seracht> hmm, also in x-chat. how do I connect to multiple servers?
[15:52] <Alpha232> Jowi: sox?
[15:52] <DeadPanda> Alpha232, so long as you don't care about the data you're storing in it ;)
[15:52] <Alpha232> DeadPanda: well it depends on what you're doing with it
[15:52] <seracht> oops
[15:52] <DeadPanda> Alpha232, it was flamebait ^^
[15:53] <Alpha232> DeadPanda: if you have need for complex triggers, procedures etc then mysql should be atomic enough
[15:53] <Alpha232> DeadPanda: aww sorry i piss on flamebait
[15:53] <Jowi> Alpha232, looks promising indeed. thanks. is there a front-end to it?
[15:54] <Alpha232> Jowi: to which?
[15:54] <arvind_khadri> !language | Alpha232
[15:54] <erUSUL> Jowi: Audacityor any other wav editor ?
[15:54] <rsc_> seracht, XChat menu -> New... -> Server Tab
[15:54] <Jowi> Alpha232, sox.
[15:55] <rsc_> seracht, then XChat -> Network List
[15:55] <Alpha232> Jowi: not sure, i don't usually use gui's
[15:55] <Jxcvc>  How can I transfer a file through sftp in terminal?
[15:55] <Alpha232> arvind_khadri: ok.... I TINKLE on flamebait
[15:55] <Jowi> erUSUL, Alpha232 ok, will have a look around
[15:55] <seracht> thanks rsc_ I just found that :)
[15:55] <Alpha232> Jowi: oh also... ummm shoot
[15:55] <erUSUL> Jowi: Audacity
[15:55] <Alpha232> Jowi: i'm not sure but Audacity might be good too
[15:55] <erUSUL> !info audacity > Jowi
[15:56] <Alpha232> erUSUL: blah beat me
[15:56] <erUSUL> Alpha232: :P
[15:56] <Jowi> erUSUL, yeah, i've used audacity before. thanks again
[15:57] <Alpha232> arvind_khadri: is mirror thing somthing i can kill from the other console and still get a successful install?
[15:58] <seracht> um, another question. I downloaded eclipse from the official site (Linux 32-bit version). Now in the .tar.gz file I have an eclipse folder, where do I normally copy this? Or did I do it wrong
[15:58] <d0c5i5> is there a way to switch from 2 screens to 1  screen without restarting X??
[15:58] <seracht> I read somewhere, trying to install eclipse using apt-get can be...screwy
[15:59] <pranava> hi all
[15:59] <rsc_> seracht, you didn't need to do that. Eclipse is available in the Ubuntu repositories. You could simply go to System -> Admin -> Synaptic Package Manager, and do a search for Eclipse.
[15:59] <nw15062> d0c5i5 what do you mean from two to one screens, are you reffering to virtual desktops?
[15:59]  * Alpha232 starts singing Total Eclipse of the Heart
[15:59] <rsc_> seracht, However, I dont know (and have no experience) of it being screwy :b
[15:59] <mysterycool> d0c5i5: Do you mean 2 different desktops/workplaces?
[15:59] <seracht> lol
[16:00] <d0c5i5> nw15062: no, dual screens to single screen with nvidia twiview... i just unhooked the external monitor and I can't see the tools I need to shut down my programs
[16:00] <seracht> i'll give it a shot
[16:00] <tsuna27> >	I am having a problem with totem this is the error i am getting : could not demultiplex stream"
[16:00] <nw15062> I guess you will have to ctrl+alt+backspace
[16:01] <d0c5i5> nw15062: i know I can do that, but it just kills all the processes and i'm pretty sure I don't want to kill some of the programs uncleanly
[16:01] <tsuna27> I am having a problem with totem this is the error i am getting : could not demultiplex stream"
[16:01] <d0c5i5> for instance, I have vmware running with a few VMs that I want to shutdown and not just kill
[16:02] <nw15062> I dont belive this any other wya atm
[16:02] <d0c5i5> i just hopped over to a console session to try and fix it, I can modify my xorg.conf
[16:03] <d0c5i5> but I don't know if there is a way to "kick" X without killing everything
[16:03] <nw15062> your right cause they use it for turning on and off enhanced display effects
[16:04] <nw15062> try that disable and reenable what ever enhanced effects you have it should restart x with out killing your session
[16:04] <seracht> ok, last question. How do I uninstall Ubuntu? I do not have my vista cds with me, so I cannot mess around with the bootloader
[16:04] <nw15062> you dont uninstall you simply format
[16:05] <erUSUL> seracht: supergrub disk can restore windows bootloader iirc
[16:05] <d0c5i5> nw: that's what I want to do, but I can't see my start menu and display tools... so i'm fishing for a console command that might do it
[16:05] <seracht> nw15062:  but won't my windows bootloader get screwed up
[16:05] <Alpha232> w
[16:05] <seracht> since I have GRUB
[16:05] <d0c5i5> nw: /etc/ini.d/something restart or such
[16:05] <seracht> erUSUL, know where that is?
[16:05] <Dabbu> i had configured my USB DSL modem using "sudo wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf" but now if i do this my computer hangs
[16:06] <Dabbu> i had configured my USB DSL modem using "sudo wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf" but now if i do this my computer hangs
[16:06] <nw15062> I see your dillema then d0c5i5, I will take a look for the command used to do it.
[16:07] <Alpha232> ahahahah this is weirdness
[16:07] <Alpha232> I killed off the menu for the install so i could get out of the scanning mirror
[16:08] <nw15062> I dont believe there is a way, you can restart metacity but not xorg because it is required to draw the screens display and with out it the programs that depend on it will simple terminate
[16:08] <Alpha232> the menu now displays on VTY2 but input is on VTY1
[16:12] <erUSUL> nw15062: you can resart the window manager without restarting Xorg nor kiling runing apps jus do "kill -9 pid_of_metacity"
[16:13] <maniheer> erUSUL: im not being rude or anything but whats wrong with killall metacity
[16:13] <erUSUL> maniheer: nothing
[16:13] <Arnell> What's is a reliable speed for burning Ubuntu ISO?
[16:13] <maniheer> oh
[16:13] <maniheer> lol
[16:13] <rage> erUSUL: Yes you can, but metacity may not relaunch automatically
[16:13] <nw15062> I said that I said you can kill metacity but that is all it will do
[16:13] <Tronic> Arnell: Use max speed and verify.
[16:13] <differentreality> Hi :) I have a really seeerious problem! I use ubuntu 7.10 and I loaded the module gspca (which is for my camera) after a while I restarted my laptop (before the restart cam did not show an image, I dont know if that matters).  After the restart my laptop never booted again! I get the loading bar, which starts loading but aftera 2 seconds I get a black screen.  What can I do ? Please...
[16:14] <nw15062> but he is doing dual output through twinview and needs to restart xorg
[16:14] <Tronic> Arnell: If your burner and media are of decent quality, it will work and verifying will confirm that it does.
[16:14] <Arnell> Tried Max spd but when checking, all it does is stop at Busybox. What then?
[16:14] <eubey> when setting up the wacom pen on my tablet pc, is it the same as setting up a usb graphics tablet, or is there a different approach?
[16:14] <Tronic> If either is crap, the verifying phase will tell that.
[16:14] <erUSUL> rage: well the session manager should relaunch it ... if not you can leave the terminal with focus (it is becouse you used it to do the kill) and launch metacity from it
[16:14] <rage> Indeed
[16:15] <rage> I was going to suggest that :-)
[16:15] <Tronic> Let your CD burning software do the checking.
[16:15] <Tronic> Far more reliable than booting the disc, etc.
[16:15] <zipper> What happend to "http://downloads.openwrt.org/sources/wl_apsta-3.130.20.0.o" ? I'm pretty sure that file existed earlier today, but now its nowhere to be found which renders my wireless chip useless (broadcom bcm4300) =/. So if anyone know of anywhere else where i can download that file, it would be much appriciated
[16:15] <Tronic> But if you want to be really safe, try 4x.
[16:15] <hardcore> whats the difference between standard edition and 64 bit?
[16:15] <Tronic> Anything should be able to handle that speed without any speed-related issues what-so-ever.
[16:15] <Arnell> got it. thanks
[16:16] <Tronic> hardcore: 64 bit can address more RAM easily.
[16:16] <hardcore> is that a good thing?
[16:16] <nw15062> lcoate totem
[16:16] <nw15062> oops
[16:16] <d0c5i5> nw: well, i figured out how to shut all the apps down using some keystrocks and some fancy Alt+tab  footwork (flying blind)... then ctrl+alt+backspace =P
[16:16] <Tronic> hardcore: If you have 2 GB or more (or plan to upgrade) and a 64 bit CPU, use the 64 bit version. Otherwise, use 32 bits.
[16:16] <maniheer> zipper: http://downloads.openwrt.org/sources/ look through there
[16:16] <d0c5i5> s/keystrocks/keysrokes/
[16:16] <rage> hardcore: In the most basic terms possible, 64bit is if you want to have more than 4gb of ram
[16:17] <d0c5i5> keystrokes... grr
[16:17] <hardcore> i don't know if mine is 64 bit or not
[16:17] <zipper> maniheer: i did, its not there =/
[16:17] <rage> hardcore: Otherwise use standard
[16:17] <hardcore> oh i have 1 gig
[16:17] <hardcore> thanks yall
[16:17] <zipper> nevermind, admin just put up the file again \o/
[16:17] <Tronic> rage: The limit for RAM is actually far lower than 4 GB (which is the limit of address space).
[16:17] <rage> Indeed
[16:17] <differentreality> Should I wait? Is there anyone who knows what might be wrong and how to fix it? Or should I go for format? :/
[16:17] <maniheer> oh yh
[16:17] <maniheer> he did
[16:17] <rage> My system can only address 3.5GB for example
[16:18] <rage> in 32bit
[16:19] <solexious> [q] How can I flush my local dns records from browsing?
[16:19] <morningwalker> !mountFAT32
[16:19] <morningwalker> !FAT32
[16:20] <BKM1> Is there a video problem guru in da house?
[16:21] <maniheer> BKM1: ask the question, somebody mught know
[16:23] <BKM1> Can't get over ( or under ) 800x600 res with a 32 meg video
[16:23] <Arnell> Install always stops at Busybox. Verified DL w/ MD5SUM and was ok. Burned ISO at 4x then rebooted and checked CD for defects but I never get farther than BusyBox.
[16:23] <Arnell> What to do?
[16:23] <nw15062> what do you have for a video card?
[16:25] <BKM1> Omboard Intel I can't figure out what , don't know how to get enough info in Ubuntu.   It worked fine on a sony monitor changed monitors and poof
[16:25] <BKM1> It is not an 800/900 series chip set
[16:26] <atmarte> #cebu
[16:26] <BKM1> Huh?
[16:28] <dumples> I'm trying to dual boot xp and ubuntu 8.04 and when i get to the partitioner it wont bring up the little slide bar
[16:28] <Alpha232> why do I have the feeling that 64meg of memory is a bad idea
[16:28] <ben34> because it is
[16:29] <Alpha232> hmmm yeah it's trying to install grub and is swapping like a momo
[16:29] <rage> Yeah... I wouldnt run Gnome under 64meg of RAM
[16:29] <dumples> It only gives me the option of using the entire drive or the largest contiguous space.
[16:30] <dumples> But a few days ago it worked perfectly fine, i was just unsure if it was going to delete my windows files or not.
[16:30] <Alpha232> rage: oh this is just -server
[16:30] <Arnell> When installing Ubuntu 8.04 is it normal to be stuck at prompt?
[16:31] <djhash> dumples: if you are worried what automatic partition will do.. use manual
[16:31] <shad_> Some time my apache seerver doen't work on ubuntu
[16:31] <shad_> any body could have a solution for this?
[16:31] <dumples> Yeah, I have no idea what im doing there, ive already tried. I now know that it wont get rid of windows with automatic so i want to use that, the option i want just isnt appearing now.
[16:32] <playya__> any ideas how to backup evolution out of a chroot enviroment?
[16:32] <Martiini> can anyone access http://packages.ubuntu.com/ ??
[16:32] <dumples> But I do have two other hard drives in two other computers one with ubuntu already on it and one with windows. I could use either of them.
[16:33] <dumples> How well would that work?
[16:33] <Arnell> Is it normal to be paused at a prompt for a long time when installing Ubuntu?

[16:38] <differentreality> Is there some way to save all my preferences, like shortcuts I have created by myself, the bar I had customized etc ?
[16:38] <Arnell> after BusyBox (initramfs)
[16:38] <descent_spb> differentreality: all the preferences are contained in the .* folders in your home directory
[16:39] <Arnell> Assuming drive cache: write through...then install pauses for a long time
[16:39] <differentreality> descent_spb:  thanks :)  i guess there is no way that I can backup all the installed programs I have, right?
[16:39] <Gut> Hi, Ive been trying to install Ubuntu 8.04 on a Asus M51S series laptop for a while now, but when I load it up, it just stops at "Running local boot scripts (/etc/rc.local)" , I've tried reconfiguring xserver but no luck, when I do startx or anything like that it just says that there's a fatal screen error..
[16:39] <descent_spb> Arnell, have you tried safe mode? That would be more precise output
[16:40] <will00> is there currently a problem with the iwl4965 driver and wpa2 enterprise level networks?
[16:40] <descent_spb> differentreality: you can backup the ubuntu partition with partimage, or simply download the "System Rescue CD"
[16:40] <Arnell> Yes. Still get the same result
[16:41] <pokeyoats> mnemo, boot 32-bit live CD - click System -> Administration -> System Monitor then click the System tab - verify your processor - search google to saee if it is 32-bit or 64...

[16:42] <lesshaste> hi.. can anyone get the cnn international link to work in http://www.cnn.com/ or is it windows only?
[16:42] <descent_spb> differentreality: you can't use partimage while being in the system. Boot of the Rescue CD, and it will make an image of your partition

[16:44] <CarlFK> live cd is hanging right after "starting gnome" - what are the kernel prams to do safe graphis?
[16:44] <lesshaste> bazhang, the "cnn international" link at cnn.com I mean
[16:44] <bazhang> Arnell, did you remove quiet and splash from the boot params to see the exact error
[16:44] <lesshaste> bazhang, it should open a new window with video in it
[16:44] <Arnell> Is it possible for a system to just be incompatible for Ubuntu?
[16:44] <bazhang> lesshaste, yes as I said it works here
[16:44] <Arnell> not yet
[16:44] <Arnell> I'll try that right now
[16:44] <descent_spb> Arnell: try yo boot with "noacpi nolapic" parameters
[16:44] <lesshaste> bazhang, is this is firefox? What plays the video on your system?
[16:45] <bazhang> lesshaste, yes ff; mplayer plugin
[16:45] <lesshaste> bazhang, interesting.. I just get server error
[16:45] <bazhang> lesshaste, also flash in certain cases
[16:45] <CarlFK> Arnell: yes, but pretty unlikely.  and if such a system is found, there will be people that will want to figure out why and make it work
[16:45] <Sn007ake> Im having some (flicker) problems with my display every time i use a game or program... ( official ubuntu ati display drivers installed)
[16:46] <lesshaste> bazhang, just to check.. it's http://edition.cnn.com/video/live/live.html?stream=stream1 right?
[16:46] <neWbie> same things used to happen to me, you should check ur xorg
[16:46] <Arnell> descent_spb: tried that with same results
[16:47] <Arnell> I also tried Safe Mode again and now it's returning error -110
[16:47] <dougemd> hey can anyone recommend a good benchmark testing program for my new linux box?
[16:48] <dougemd> I'm running Ubuntu and wanted to benchmark the system now that it's up
[16:48] <shadewind> hello
[16:48] <lesshaste> bazhang, hmm..looks like other people don't see the video
[16:48] <bazhang> lesshaste, video works fine on that site
[16:48] <descent_spb> dougemd: try phoronix test suite
[16:48] <lesshaste> bazhang, either you are looking at something else or your system is better than ours :)
[16:48] <lesshaste> bazhang, http://edition.cnn.com/help/live.html#2 says you need windows or os x... oh well
[16:48] <descent_spb> Arnell: have yoy tried adding "noacpi noapic" to the kernel boot line?
[16:49] <KenBW2> ive got problems with flash running dodgily
[16:49] <dougemd> thanks descent_spb
[16:49] <shadewind> i'm currently running opensuse 11.0 but wireless is not working at all with my HP nx8220. i'm considering switching to ubuntu. is there anything I would miss if i've been running opensuse before?
[16:49] <Arnell> descent_spb: yes. still get same results
[16:49] <Arnell> hangs at a prompt
[16:50] <bazhang> lesshaste, I clicked on video to the right of central stories and they all load fine (though slowly)
[16:51] <Gut> I just got a laptop and thought of installing Ubuntu on it, but whatever I do, it just stops at "Running local boot scripts (/etc/rc.local)", tried playing around with xserver, didn't work, so I tried installing other linux distros and none of them ever install or booted correctly. I'm on an Asus M51S laptop
[16:51] <Arnell> I'm installing in Safe Mode now and I'm getting USB read errors. What's happening?
[16:51] <Pirate_Hunter> how can i stop other user from using ssh in terminal?
[16:51] <Arnell> How can I remedy?
[16:51] <lesshaste> bazhang, that's not the question.. it's the "live: cnn international" link
[16:52] <lesshaste> bazhang,  the one that takes you to http://edition.cnn.com/video/live/live.html?stream=stream1
[16:52] <BKM1> quit
[16:52] <qr> Pirate_Hunter: you could make an ssh group and only allow users in that group to run ssh, or you could use an acl on the ssh binary to forbid a specific user from executing it.
[16:52] <mentalcic> need help on how to change resolution on konsoles
[16:52] <bazhang> Arnell, is it no longer hanging at busybox?
[16:53] <d91w> I'm trying to add a path to my .profile and I can't get the path to work
[16:53] <Arnell> no longer hanging but now hanging after USB read errors
[16:53] <Pirate_Hunter> qr: how do i make the ssh group isit the same way as making a group?
[16:54] <Sn007ake> How can i get my display to stop flickering running 3d games/programs....... I benchmarked my system and my gfx card is working Vid's display fine everything works except the 3d gfx....... any idea's?  (ati radeon x1300)  With catalist drivers installed........Ubutu hearty heron....... Could the default resolution be the problem?
[16:54] <lesshaste> bazhang, seems its a well known problem http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-software-2/cnn-live-video-591293/
[16:54] <qr> Pirate_Hunter: yes, it would just be a regular group, then you'd make the ssh binary owned by that group.
[16:54] <d91w> should I be editing the .bash_profile or .bash_login instead
[16:54] <d91w> ?
[16:55] <Pirate_Hunter> qr: how do i make the ssh binary for that group... I really dont know how
[16:56] <qr> Pirate_Hunter: it would be something like chown root:ssh /usr/bin/ssh
[16:56] <Alpha232> ummm i'm confused... i just did a server install,    why isn't there an /etc/inittab?
[16:56] <qr> Pirate_Hunter: that would make root the owner and put the file in the ssh group.
[16:56] <Pirate_Hunter> qr: could I try that right now?
[16:56] <qr> Pirate_Hunter: as long as you have an ssh group
[16:56] <Alpha232> whoa... weird,   inittab is now  event.d?
[16:57] <Pirate_Hunter> qr: going to do it now, wait a sec
[16:57] <jakobbg> I lost my screen resolution after enabled nvidia v177 - how can I get this back?

[17:01] <stat_cs> hello. I just deleted a tar file with the command "sude rm tarball.tar" - is there any way that i can recover it?
[17:02] <jakobbg> arvind_khadri: not manually, no
[17:02] <jakobbg> and not via the package manager either, I see.
[17:02] <arvind_khadri> jakobbg, sorry... and interpid questions on #ubuntu+1

[17:05] <Kattollikisd> We are herew... because we need
[17:05] <Pirate_Hunter> qr: no other users can still ssh and accept keys
[17:05] <Pirate_Hunter> qr: inst there another way
[17:05] <qr> Pirate_Hunter: you need to make the ssh binary not executable by "other" users (ie set the permissions to something like 750)
[17:06] <Alpha232> arvind_khadri: kinda
[17:06] <Alpha232> arvind_khadri: i killed the process and waited for the menu to restart lol
[17:06] <d91w> does anyone know a site where I can get some more information on adding paths to my prfile
[17:06] <Alpha232> arvind_khadri: then the funny thing was, it restarted while i was on another vty
[17:06] <Pirate_Hunter> qr: so that would be sudo chown 750 root:ssh /usr/bin/ssh?
[17:06] <Alpha232> arvind_khadri: so input was bound on vty1 and the display of the menus on vty2
[17:07] <arvind_khadri> Alpha232, oh ..
[17:07] <qr> Pirate_Hunter: no just chmod 750 /usr/bin/ssh , I assume you've already done the chown'ing.
[17:07] <onthefence928> what's a good SNES emulator?
[17:07] <akk> Anybody use bootchart? I've just installed it but it doesn't leave anything in /var/log/bootchart when I reboot
[17:07] <Pirate_Hunter> qr: yah what does 750 mean if you dont mind explaining?
[17:07] <danand> !resolution
[17:08] <akk> and there doesn't seem to be any documentation on the ubuntu changes to bootchart (the regular bootchart docs point to files that aren't in the ubuntu package)
[17:08] <qr> Pirate_Hunter: it's rwxr-x---, so rwx for owner, rw for group and nothing for other.
[17:08] <qr> Pirate_Hunter: r-x for group, sorry

[17:13] <RenatoSilva> bazhang: too slow, didn't get the compiz window movements
[17:14] <bazhang> !frostwire | Kartagis
[17:14] <Pirate_Hunter> Kartagis: try gtkgnutella less prone to crashes and errors than limewire/frostwire
[17:15] <adac> how to mount vista partition on the command line?
[17:15] <Christine> hi is this a forum that can be used to get help with some general ubuntu questions?
[17:15] <danih> nice to read that there is an open source alternative to limewire, didn't know it
[17:15] <Tom_nuggin> is there a programming channel
[17:16] <usser> adac, sudo ntfs-3g /dev/[vista partition] /mountpoint
[17:16] <mentalcic> usser: is ntfs-3g now safe for read/write ?
[17:16] <usser> danih, it is a limewire, an equivalent to limewire pro
[17:16] <arvind_khadri> adac, sudo /mnt/mountpoint
[17:17] <adac> usser: perfect. this works!!
[17:17] <usser> mentalcic, yes it comes default with ubuntu now
[17:17] <netsurf3> Mentalcic i have been using it for about a year or more
[17:17] <arvind_khadri> adac, sorry
[17:18] <mentalcic> usseer and netsurf3: you did not have any issues with writing on NTFS partitions so far? no issues also with the same partition when using Windows ?
[17:18] <netsurf3> mentalcic, none that i have noticed
[17:19] <usser> mentalcic, i dont use windows anymore, nor ntfs-3g but when i did about 6 months ago it worked just fine
[17:19] <Christine> im new to using ubuntu - I just installed Hardy - but having some difficulties with wifi - tried using network manager to create a connection - and I can get the icon showing that I have a connection - but cant seem to get out to the internet
[17:20] <Kartagis> bazhang, I am downloading frostwire, but why isn't limewire there?
[17:20] <MrKennie> where?
[17:20] <mcquaid> i have a usb 2.0 802.11g wifi dongle, but it's plugged into a mobo that only has usb1.1.  with tests across my network, I only get 500K instead 1.2M. is there a reason i wouldn't get full 1.1 speeds?
[17:21] <bazhang> Kartagis, gtk-gnutella may be what you need more
[17:21] <mentalcic> can someone point me to where and how to change the resolution of virtual consoles ? I get some weird font size when I switch to CTRL+ALT+Fn and after that I cant go back to KDE :(
[17:21] <mcquaid> i tested it with samba and setting up an ftp
[17:21] <mcquaid> it has a native driver for linux, not using ndiswrapper
[17:21] <snurf> hey
[17:21] <MrKennie> limewire is closed source which makes it incompatible for distribution with ubuntu
[17:22] <Gut> Can anyone help me with installing Ubuntu, I've done it many times before, but I just got a new laptop and it just stops at "Running local boot scripts (/etc/rc.local)", I've looked on forums and tried doing what was recomended, but it didn't work :<
[17:22] <MrKennie> well, more the license makes it incompatible.
[17:22] <snurf> I try to install my webcam with ubuntu, if I run camorama, I get "could not connect to video device", I searched on Google for more information about this problem and tried some solutions, would you have any ideas?
[17:23] <Denesh> hi all..
[17:23] <cojones_> does (k)ubuntu have any sort of package that makes GTK apps looks a little smoother in KDE?
[17:23] <akk> Gut: On hardy, my /etc/rc.local is empty, it just does an exit 0 -- is that true for you too? (in which case it might be whatever's coming after rc.local)
[17:23] <MrKennie> cojones_: yes, unders system settings
[17:23] <Gut> Lemme recheck
[17:24] <Denesh> i have a problem with my internet... i get network timeouts for certain websites... some work some don't any ideas on how to fix ?
[17:24] <MrKennie> cojones_: System Settings -> appearance and you will see something like GTK styles and fonts
[17:24] <aviendha2008> Hi, I'm looking for the best lounge for newbies
[17:25] <MrKennie> cojones_: although Kubuntu related questions are better in #kubuntu :)
[17:25] <ehtom> #ubuntu isnt a bad place for newbies
[17:25] <aviendha2008> here I am then!
[17:25] <redvamp128> Denesh just an idea
[17:26] <redvamp128> check your proxy settings
[17:26] <cojones_> MrKennie: does that exist in KDE? that looks like GNOME's menu ;)
[17:26] <Denesh> redvamp128: i have no proxy
[17:26] <redvamp128> in firefox- tools- advanced -
[17:26] <stat_cs> hello. I just deleted a tar file with the command "sude rm tarball.tar" - is there any way that i can recover it?
[17:26] <redvamp128> network
[17:26] <MrKennie> cojones_: in the kde system settings yea
[17:26] <redvamp128> connection- then settings tab
[17:27] <qr> stat_cs: not really. :(
[17:27] <aviendha2008> any news on a gui for commands like chown and editing files like fstab
[17:27] <redvamp128> It could be set for auto-detect-
[17:27] <Kattollikisd> Anyone here know where I can find a awesome Mac OS x Skin for my amsn? ( not in amsn page )
[17:27] <akk> Gut: It looks like rc.local is the last step in the /etc/rc2.d stage. Maybe it's having trouble starting X, and hanging there?
[17:27] <Gut> yep
[17:27] <redvamp128> Or try switching it to no proxy
[17:27] <stat_cs> qr, maybe in the "trash" ?
[17:27] <stat_cs> qr, which is taking forever to open
[17:27] <redvamp128> mine is set for use system proxy sttings
[17:27] <Gut> akk : it's a problem with xserver
[17:27] <redvamp128> but worth a shot
[17:27] <Gut> but I've tried reconfiguring, no luck
[17:27] <morningwalker> is there something called root password on ubuntu??
[17:27] <Gut> doesn't load afterwards, it then gives me a "no screen error"
[17:28] <qr> stat_cs: it's worth a try, but it's unlikely, rm doesn't use the trash folder afaik
[17:28] <bazhang> morningwalker, no need; use sudo
[17:28] <redvamp128> I ran into that issue - with puppy linux before- and firefox
[17:28] <akk> Gut: Ubuntu always hangs on my (rather old) laptop because of problems with dri -- I comment dri and glx out of /etc/X11/xorg.conf and that gets it going again.
[17:28] <RenatoSilva> whic screen capture software do you preffer?
[17:29] <akk> Gut: But probably your best bet is to set it up so it doesn't run gdm and just drops you in a shell
[17:29] <Gut> akk my computer is fairly new
[17:29] <akk> Gut: then you can boot and try various ways of starting X
[17:29] <Denesh> redvamp128: no difference... i dont think its a firefox issue...
[17:29] <cojones_> MrKennie: found it but not seeing anythign for 4.1
[17:29] <_nilesh_> I fixed morningwalker's password problem :D
[17:30] <mentalcic> how to change resolution for virtual terminals (or however they are called, on Ctrl+Alt+Fx)?
[17:30] <MrKennie> cojones_: kde 4 you might need kde4-style-qtcurve-kdeconfig package
[17:30] <aviendha2008> here's another one; why cant't I get streams from WWITV??
[17:30] <morningwalker> all hail _nilesh_
[17:30] <Denesh> redvamp128: i tried other browsers and same issue... netstat shows a lot of syn_sent
[17:30] <morningwalker> he changed my root password!!
[17:31] <bazhang> morningwalker, dont use root use sudo
[17:31] <morningwalker> okay
[17:31] <morningwalker> what is the difference??
[17:31] <bazhang> !sudo
[17:31] <morningwalker> i am a migrant from fedora
[17:32] <bazhang> morningwalker, see bot link above

[17:33] <enqin> helo
[17:33] <redvamp128> Denesh - I found a similar issue on launchpad... any issues with synaptic?
[17:34] <mentalcic> bazhang, THANK YOU!
[17:35] <bazhang> np
[17:35] <Denesh> redvamp128: synaptic is having trouble updating... i have been having this issue for a while... a reboot fixes the issue... but its very annoying to reboot the machine every other day
[17:35] <mentalcic> bazhang, Can this be related to the issue with KDE crashing when changing to virtual console?
[17:36] <bazhang> mentalcic, not sure; do you have a bug link for that?
[17:36] <snurf> nobody for my question?
[17:37] <redvamp128> Denesh- check this site- https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.17/+bug/59331

[17:37] <snurf> jrib: hey, read my question before to do "!helpme" ...

[17:51] <jrib> mlLKX: no.  geometry=WIDTHxHEIGHT iirc.  check the man page if that doesn't work
[17:52] <shirish> jgedeon: jrib: both the things given by you also show the deinstall ones, not just the install ones
[17:53] <jrib> shirish: aptitude doesn't
[17:53] <jesse> I'm trying to install ubuntu from the alternate iso - it gets to 'select and install software' and just hangs at 6%, while the cd-rom drive constantly makes noise
[17:54] <jrib> shirish: and just pipe to   grep -v '^rc'    if you want to use the dpkg one without the packages that still have config files
[17:54] <jesse> my first thought was a problem with the cd itself - but i verified the cd and it tests fine
[17:54] <jesse> anyone have any ideas?
[17:54] <jgedeon> shirish, in terminal type dpkg --get-selections | grep install >> textfileofinstalledsoftware and then look at that file.
[17:55] <jesse> i wonder if since the base system installed - i can boot from the hd and get whatever else i need manually. .. (i'm pretty new to linux. . .)
[17:55] <jesse> would it be as simple as say.. apt-get install gnome?
[17:55] <jesse> and then whatever other software i want?
[17:55] <bazhang> ubuntu-desktop jesse
[17:55] <jrib> jesse: I wouldn't trust that :/
[17:56] <jesse> bazhang: what do you mean?
[17:56] <FFighter> hey!
[17:56] <FFighter> folks, anyone use Tilda?
[17:56] <NBrepresent> hi, i'm just getting things the way i like them with a new install, and one thing I notice is that when i turn the volume knob on my keyboard, the volume icon appears on screen and appears to change, but the volume stays at the same level...
[17:56] <jesse> bazhang: do you mean i can apt-get install ubuntu-desktop?
[17:56] <mlLKX> jrib, yikes! my terminal got stuck in an infinite loop
[17:56] <FFighter> I need to know if it is possible to have it grab focus automatically when you press the shortcut to display the tilda console
[17:56] <FFighter> please!
[17:56] <mlLKX> jrib, lol
[17:56] <bazhang> jesse, that would be if you installed with minimal installer or alternate, expert mode; hanging at 6% would fail
[17:57] <jrib> mlLKX: heh, what did you run?
[17:57] <shirish> jgedeon: on my machine even after doing that i still get the deinstalled packages as well.
[17:57] <NBrepresent> FFighter: pretty sure that's an option
[17:57] <qfour20> Greetings, ubuntu mavens.  I have a version of darkice (streaming audio server utility) on my box that I compiled to support mp3's (lots of my friends are too lazy / non-computer-literate to get non-mp3 streams to work ) and every time I get a list of updates, my machine wants to install the same version of darkice from ubuntu's repository.
[17:57] <qfour20> is there any way to mask that package from being upgraded?
[17:57] <jgedeon> shirish, are you adding the | grep install?
[17:57] <NBrepresent> activate tilda and right click (IIRC) to set preferences
[17:57] <mlLKX> jrib, i ran a custom command from current profile > title and commands
[17:57] <jesse> bazhang: i did use the alternate - so i'll give that a shot
[17:57] <mlLKX> jrib, i finally caught it, but oh man
[17:57] <Decepticon> im getting error 800 from connecting to my vpn (ubuntu hosts the pptpd) on winxp... ive restarted pptpd on the vpn box, so i dont understand whats going on
[17:58] <shirish> jgedeon: yes, I did the | grep install
[17:58] <yves_> Hello all. Do someone know how to encode passwords for /etc/shadow. I've a few hundred users and a script to add them. But I don't know how to encode the passwords. Seems that nor md5(), nor crypt(), nor sha1() do the job. Any answer?
[17:58] <jesse> yeah the installer tells me the installation step failed - the step being select and install software
[17:58] <FFighter> can't find it
[17:58] <FFighter> the option
[17:58] <bazhang> jesse, if it is hanging then it likely will fail
[17:58] <jesse> is that really mostly ubuntu-desktop that it tried to install?
[17:58] <kevink23> I NEED HELP:(
[17:58] <qfour20> yves_: run the command "pwconv"  without the quotes
[17:58] <jgedeon> I'm doing it here and | grep install only shows the installed an not the deinstalled if I want the deinstalled the I | grep deinstall
[17:58] <bazhang> caps kevink23
[17:58] <shirish> jgedeon: I don't remember but there is a utility which does exactly the same
[17:59] <kevink23> bazhang, wanna help me?:)
[17:59] <mlLKX> jrib, can geometry set the position too?
[17:59] <shirish> jgedeon: what I'm trying to achieve here, but unfortunately I don't remember the utility's name
[17:59] <jesse> oh but maybe the bootloader isn't installed yet. . .
[17:59] <jgedeon> shirish, I don't know of one I use mainly CLI
[17:59] <dVs--> people tell me to delelte a computer from my /home/user/.ssh/known_hosts file but it all looks like gibberish
[17:59] <bazhang> kevink23, ask the channel and if someone knows they will answer
[17:59] <shirish> jgedeon: its CLI based only
[17:59] <jrib> mlLKX: yep, here: [=][<width>{xX}<height>][{+-}<xoffset>{+-}<yoffset>]
[17:59] <dVs--> how do i know which host to delete
[17:59] <dVs--> or what it all means ?
[17:59] <jrib> dVs--: the error tells you the line number
[18:00] <mlLKX> jrib, with all those brackets!?
[18:00] <dVs--> ok let me check thankx
[18:00] <jrib> dVs--: you can also use ssh-keygen, but you'll have to read the manual for the switch
[18:00] <kevink23> does any one know why firefox says i dont have the flash player installed, when i do!
[18:00] <morningwalker> is nvidia geforce 8400gs supported well for linux
[18:00] <mlLKX> jrib, is that bash syntax?
[18:00] <morningwalker> ??
[18:00] <morningwalker> !nvidia
[18:00] <jrib> mlLKX: nah, that's just telling you it's optional.  Here is an example: 100x100+0+0
[18:00] <mlLKX> oh right right
[18:00] <mlLKX> k ty
[18:00] <yves_> @qfour20 thanks for the answer. The passwords are not in my /etc/passwd file. Just in a CSV. man page talks about conversion of /etc/passwd. Am I false?
[18:00] <jesse> bazhang: is it normal for the installer to not work on some systems?
[18:01] <Brinkhurst> hey all, I need some help getting my wireless internet going on a hp dv6000
[18:01] <Brinkhurst> i got absolutley no wireless options at all
[18:01] <bazhang> jesse, did you md5 the iso and do a disk integrity check after burning at very low speed
[18:01] <morningwalker> ﻿ is nvidia geforce 8400gs supported well for linux
[18:01] <Gut> akk, D3B14N , I found a way to make it "work", I have to put mem=2900M in the grub command line, but all I have now is just a blank-ish screen
[18:01] <morningwalker> ??
[18:01] <qfour20> yves_: you're right, but it can also be invoked to process a password sent to it as an argument
[18:01] <jgedeon> Brinkhurst, what is the problem?  that is the same system I am on now.
[18:02] <yves_> @qfour20 I'll have a look. Thanks a lot.
[18:02] <jrib> !pm | dVs--
[18:02] <qfour20> yves_: I'm sorry, that's wrong
[18:02] <jesse> bazhang: i did not md5, i burned probably too fast from osx, but i did check the integrity from the utility on the disc itself. . . is the fact that it checks ok not really trustable?
[18:02] <qfour20> yves_: I just looked at the man page.  No such functionality.
[18:02] <Fujisan> Hello, i have windows and ubuntu dual boot on grub and now i want to install IntrepidIbex alpha via wubi will that be recognised by grub automagically?
[18:03] <bazhang> Fujisan, that is in #ubuntu+1
[18:03] <qfour20> yves_: have you considered writing a script to pull from your csv file and execute "useradd" instead?
[18:03] <morningwalker> ﻿is nvidia geforce 8400gs supported well for linux
[18:03] <Brinkhurst> jgedeon: i am running ubuntu 8.04 LTS on a 64-bit hp and I have no options for wireless networking and ubuntu cannot find my broadcom wireless device
[18:03] <dVs--> the error said known_hosts:2 so i am asuming its line two i should delete but i cant tell where one line ends and the next begins
[18:03] <Brinkhurst> jgedeon: either that or it just wont run
[18:03] <jrib> dVs--: what editor are you using?
[18:04] <dVs--> gedit
[18:04] <Brinkhurst> jgedeon: I also have no device manager listed in preferences or administration
[18:04] <jrib> dVs--: turn on line numbers in edit -> preferences
[18:04] <bazhang> jesse, you may try burning it again; this is to install on intel mac?
[18:04] <jgedeon> Brinkhurst, It should be an intel Prowireless
[18:04] <yves_> @qfour20 I use the "-p password" option in the useradd command. So I have to encrypt the passwd first. Isn't it?
[18:04] <Brinkhurst> no
[18:05] <jesse> bazhang: no - i'm just installing on an old dell - i'll try burning again - my standard iso hangs as well though - which seems suspcious. though maybe they both burned poorly
[18:05] <jgedeon> Brinkhurst, check your lspci and pastebin what is outputs.
[18:05] <Brinkhurst> jgedeon: im running a first generation hp dv6000 with amd 64 and broadcom wireless chipset
[18:05] <dVs--> jrib thankx man
[18:05] <jgedeon> OK.
[18:05] <jgedeon> Hold on.
[18:06] <qfour20> yves_: per the man page of useradd, -p is supplied as the output of crypt run against the password.  I don't think that's how it's stored in shadow, but that's the argument it's expecting.
[18:06] <jgedeon> Brinkhurst, Here is what should work for you.  http://penkin.wordpress.com/2008/03/28/ubuntu-804-broadcom-wireless/
[18:07] <user01_> everytime i run sudo it says sudo: unable to resolve host <mycomputername>
[18:07] <SuperMario> how do i run a python script from terminal
[18:07] <yves_> @qfour20 I did just try to "cryp()" the passwords and to look at the result. Never tried it in my script. Here is a job for me; I'll give a try. Thanks one more time.
[18:07] <jrib> user01_: pastebin the contents of /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts
[18:07] <dVs--> now is there a way to connect to that computer using nautilis ?
[18:08] <Brinkhurst> jgedeon: i only have wireless internet Im currently running windows
[18:08] <jgedeon> user01, how are you running it?  with a command after it?
[18:08] <jrib> SuperMario: python /path/to/script
[18:08] <jgedeon> OH...
[18:08] <qfour20> anytime, yves_
[18:08] <danbh_intrepid> how do I grab the source of a package?
[18:08] <Brinkhurst> that wont work coz you need internet to run that command
[18:08] <jrib> !source > danbh_intrepid
[18:08] <jgedeon> Brinkhurst, I'm not sure the build-essentials are on the CD or not..  You could try.  But you could burn the tar.gz file to cd and cp it over.
[18:09] <danbh_intrepid> jrib: thanks
[18:09] <Brinkhurst> okay, if what do i need to change in the commands if I use the CD approach
[18:09] <SuperMario> jrib: the name of it is main.py so should i type "python /path/to/main.py/"?
[18:09] <dVs--> is there a way to use nautilis to connect to the other computer on my lan ?
[18:10] <hyperair> what do you do when you find that a notebook's internal keyboard doesn't work? (nec 6500, first install of ubuntu)
[18:10] <qfour20> dVs--: what type of host is the other computer?  windows?  mac?  linux? etc.
[18:10] <jgedeon> Brinkhurst, I just checked it doesn't look like build-essentials are on the CD.  no way to plug in with a CAT cable?
[18:11] <Brinkhurst> jgedeon: CAT cable?
[18:11] <jgedeon> to plug into your network.
[18:11] <markelhas> i'm going to buy a laptop, witch should i by for using ubuntu?
[18:11] <deepfriedsquirre> Is it possible to remove orphaned packages that were only installed due to being dependancies for another package, which has now been removed anyway, with APT?
[18:11] <dVs--> qfour20 its ubuntu
[18:11] <deepfriedsquirre> Like emerge --depclean
[18:11] <danbh_intrepid> deepfriedsquirre: apt-get autoremove
[18:12] <Brinkhurst> jgedeon: could work
[18:12] <deepfriedsquirre> danbh_intrepid: Yay, thank you!
[18:12] <qfour20> dVs--: sweet.  access it by typing the following into the location bar (shows the path)   username@hostname:/path/to/files
[18:12] <danbh_intrepid> deepfriedsquirre: works for anything installed after the initial install
[18:12] <deepfriedsquirre> Hmm...
[18:12] <deepfriedsquirre> That ddin't work :-(
[18:12] <jgedeon> Brinkhurst, if you plug it into your router you should have internet and be able to do all the commands.
[18:12] <Brinkhurst> jgedeon: does it help if i tell you that ubuntu is installed on an external hard drive and on a dual boot setup
[18:13] <deepfriedsquirre> Though I may have installed them with aptitude or synaptic
[18:13] <Brinkhurst> jgedeon: kool thanks
[18:13] <dVs--> I dont have a location bar ..
[18:13] <jgedeon> Brinkhurst, no.
[18:13] <danbh_intrepid> deepfriedsquirre: what are you running, vanilla ubuntu?
[18:13] <Brinkhurst> jgedeon: np thanks for the help
[18:13] <jgedeon> BRB
[18:13] <dVs--> nm
[18:13] <markelhas> is there any laptop that is design to run linux (ubuntu)?
[18:13] <qfour20> dVs--: hmmm... let me take a peek at nautilus, then
[18:13] <deepfriedsquirre> danbh_intrepid: xubuntu with ubuntu-desktop and kubuntu-desktop installed
[18:14] <baseballer790[Np> penis
[18:14] <baseballer790[Np> penis
[18:14] <baseballer790[Np> penis

[18:14] <Gadoff> hyi
[18:14] <danbh_intrepid> deepfriedsquirre: wow, thats everything.  go for gtkorphan
[18:14] <Gadoff> =)
[18:14] <qfour20> dVs--: under the "go" menu, there's a "Location" option.  Type that same syntax in there and it should get you there.

[18:14] <FloodBot2> baseballer790[Np: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[18:14] <dVs--> yeah i saw it
[18:14] <dVs--> it say it cant handle that type of address
[18:15] <jrib> user01_: what does the command 'hostname' return?
[18:15] <deepfriedsquirre> ﻿ danbh_intrepid: cheers
[18:15] <jesse> Is the alternate iso ALWAYS more likely to work on a problem system? I'm trying to avoid burning 2 discs. . .
[18:15] <virtualroadside> i just installed samba, it freezes on start... any thoughts?
[18:15] <dVs--> i thought i had it working before there was an option under 'places' but i no longer see that option
[18:15] <user01_> jrib, computername
[18:15] <histo> virtualroadside: what do you mena it freezes on start? there is nothign to start
[18:15] <deepfriedsquirre> ﻿ danbh_intrepid: I only seem to have 2 orphaned packages, even though I removed ubuntu-desktop and kubuntu-desktop.
[18:16] <jrib> user01_: add " computername" to the end of the second line in your /etc/hosts (127.0.1.1 ...).  Use recovery mode from the grub menu and nano to do so
[18:16] <qfour20> dVs--: AHA!  use the syntax:   ssh://user@host:/path/to/files
[18:16] <qfour20> (in the location bar)
[18:16] <danbh_intrepid> deepfriedsquirre: you need to understand how to use gtkorphan, and be careful
[18:16] <deepfriedsquirre> ah k
[18:16] <histo> virtualroadside: sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart
[18:16] <virtualroadside> histo: yes, i'm aware of that, which is why im confused.
[18:17] <virtualroadside> Setting up samba (3.0.28a-1ubuntu4.5) ...
[18:17] <virtualroadside>  * Starting Samba daemons
[18:17] <danbh_intrepid> deepfriedsquirre: there is an option that you need to check, but once you check that, it lets you removing anything and everything
[18:17] <histo>  virtualroadside well then my question is what exactly is freezing
[18:17] <virtualroadside> mine too :)
[18:17] <histo> virtualroadside: you need to elaborate.
[18:17] <histo> wow
[18:17] <virtualroadside> i install the package
[18:17] <histo> k
[18:17] <virtualroadside> it tries to start the daemons
[18:18] <virtualroadside> it sits there
[18:18] <virtualroadside> "it" being the package manager
[18:18] <deepfriedsquirre> danbh_intrepid: I think I'll do a fresh install - would it be sane to copy over /var/cache/apt/archives/* over?
[18:18] <histo> virtualroadside: okay have you checked syslog?
[18:18] <virtualroadside> nothing there
[18:18] <deepfriedsquirre> And will that probably contain every package I've ever downloaded, or will it only contain some?
[18:18] <histo> virtualroadside: or top  to see if its doing anything.
[18:18] <virtualroadside> yeah, thats the weird part
[18:18] <histo> !tab | virtualroadside
[18:18] <virtualroadside> smbd and nmbd are both running
[18:19] <notwist> if the /etc/network/interfaces is configured correctly with static ip and stuff and i still get "SIOCSIFFLAGS: Invalid argument" when trying to bring one of my three interfaces up, is it a driver issue? two other cards work fine with similar configs so I'm starting to think my configuration isn't the problem
[18:19] <user01_> jrib, ok thanks
[18:19] <danbh_intrepid> deepfriedsquirre: maybe, I don't know, what are you trying to get to?  xubuntu?
[18:20] <deepfriedsquirre> I think I'll go for Ubuntu, since that's the one with the most work done to it.
[18:20] <notwist> is there like a troubleshooting guide for not getting your ethernet card up?
[18:20] <danbh_intrepid> !puregnome > deepfriedsquirre  try this
[18:20] <Tronic> erUSUL: Upgrading to Ubuntu Intrepid fixed that ffmpeg issue and also my WiFi now works :)
[18:21] <andycas> How to change network interfaces priorities? Currently eth0 is being used over eth1 but i would like it to be vice-versa
[18:21] <qfour20> andycas: useless snarky answer:  swap the cables
[18:21] <Tronic> There was a little bump on the road, though: I couldn't do anything on my machine on the first boots until I ssh'ed in from another machine and set xorg.conf to use driver "nv" instead of "nvidia".
[18:22] <td123> andycas: you can always disable it :D
[18:22] <Tronic> Once I got Xorg running, the nvidia driver could be installed by the restricted drivers tray icon.
[18:22] <td123> andycas: but do what qfour20 said, not to be snarky though
[18:22] <onthefence928> where do i check the install path of my most recent installed program?
[18:22] <Tronic> andycas: You can use udev to rename the interfaces (to something entirely different than eth*).

[18:23] <dragonlaw> hello, i'm using a thinkpad t61 with the atheros wireless card, and i managed to get ubuntu to detect the wireless card with the help of ndiswrapper, however the connection drops intermittently and i have to restart the computer to get back the connection. is there anything i can do?
[18:23] <qfour20> onthefence928: /var/log/apt/term.log has the information spit out by apt during installation

[18:23] <stefg> !webcam | user01_
[18:24] <awesomme> check my new megawad !!! http://www.hardstylersunited.dk/index.php
[18:24] <yves_> @qfour20 Sorry, doesn't seem to work. The crypt('passwd') gives something like $1$fwFKsBbu$2J4.VpKuLgNZ8AQoD8Yb2. that I use in the useradd of my  PHP script. The user fails to be recognized.  The /etc/shadow file is strange for that user: aaina:J4.VpKuLgNZ8AQoD8Yb2.:14129:0:99999:7::: :o(
[18:24] <awesomme> check my new megawad !!! http://www.hardstylersunited.dk/index.php
[18:25] <qfour20> yves_: hmmmmm.  To be honest, I really don't know where to go from here.
[18:25] <yves_> @qfour20 Thanks anyway...
[18:25] <qfour20> yves_: let's look at the "adduser" program instead of "useradd"
[18:25] <d3d> hi #ubuntu ... i have an intermittent problem where audio routing messes up and i can't use any audio program (rhythmbox, amarok, vlc, etc).. they just lock up.. any way to restart the appropriate service ?
[18:26] <StepNjump> Does anyone where I could get the old Firefox version 2????
[18:26] <yves_> @qfour20 I'm going to have a look. Have a good evening (it's evening here)
[18:26] <qfour20> yves_: maybe do a "adduser" to create the user and group memberships, then an explicit "passwd" for that user as root?
[18:26] <jrib> StepNjump: did you search synaptic?
[18:26] <dashavoo> d3d, try "sudo /etc/init.d/pulseaudio restart"
[18:26] <stefg> d3d: pulseaudio -k will kill the sound daemon
[18:26] <felix_> eh.. i want to know what is the default hot key of locking screen? and any way to change it?

[18:26] <jesse> Anyone know if it's better to burn iso's under OSX from Toast or Disk Utility?
[18:26] <qfour20> good luck, yves_ .  Have a good evening!
[18:26] <jesse> or anything else?
[18:26] <StepNjump> jrib, no ... I could try that
[18:27] <jrib> jesse: wrong channel
[18:27] <jesse> jrib: i'm talking about burning an ubuntu iso
[18:27] <jrib> !burn > jesse
[18:27] <StepNjump> It's weird because on my old system, it was runnning fine but here on this computer that is much faster, firefox is jamming my CPU
[18:27] <d3d> stefg i didn't realize pulseaudio is being widely used.. but unfortunately that didn't fix the problem
[18:27] <dashavoo> jesse, shouldn't make a difference
[18:28] <jesse> thanks
[18:28] <Hattori> hello, how to load all system variables once connected to a ubuntu shell?
[18:28] <danbh_intrepid> user01_ webcam support sucks, even if you get a supported one
[18:28] <dashavoo> d3d, try "sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart" if restarting pulseaudio didn't help
[18:28] <dashavoo> d3d, also, close firefox
[18:29] <user01_> danbh_intrepid, why is that^
[18:29] <Hattori> hello, how to load all system variables once connected to a ubuntu shell? cause now i'm using PLINK (putty link) and once i'm in and execute a command (to start tomcat) it claims JAVA_HOME is not set. If i connect manually, JAVA_HOME is set indeed. How to load the system variables?
[18:29] <qfour20> Hattori: not sure what you're asking, but all system variables should already be there once you log in.  type in:  env  and take a look at what vars are set
[18:29] <SilverDawn> Hey all, I was wondering if its possible to disable bash's attepts at scanning the repos or what ever its doing to find commands
[18:30] <SilverDawn> Like if you type in zsh, it wont just say command not found, it will say you can dl it from blah blah
[18:30] <d3d> dashavoo, same problem
[18:30] <jrib> SilverDawn: get rid of command-not-found
[18:30] <srindler> What's the most private-tracker compliant bittorrent tracker?
[18:30] <dashavoo> d3d, can you describe the problem in a bit more detail?
[18:30] <Hattori> qfour20: yes, if i connect with plink and then run the command (.startup.sh to start tomcat) it works, but when the command is executed by a script that runs plink and run the script, it doesn't work. it claims JAVA_HOME is not loaded
[18:31] <dashavoo> d3d,  What are you doing when it happens?
[18:31] <qfour20> Hattori: AHH
[18:31] <d3d> dashavoo, when i start programs like amarok or rhthtym box,if i try to start playing audio the app freezes up (it won't redraw)
[18:31] <qfour20> Hattori: either you need to explicity set JAVA_HOME in your script
[18:31] <Hattori> qfour20: so at the moment instead of running startup.sh i run a script that set java_home and then run the startup.sh
[18:31] <qfour20> Hattori: or add it to .profile of the user executing the script
[18:31] <d3d> dashavoo, it normally works, i've seen this problem once before, i rebooted the box but would like a better solution
[18:32] <SilverDawn> jrib yeah, i just did that, except now it just gives me errors on command not found for that peice of software, how do i make bash not even look for it
[18:32] <d3d> dashavoo, i could set up a vnc session for you if it helps
[18:32] <stefg> d3d: although pulseaudio is a promising concept it's still in its infancy causing trouble now and then. i finally took a mixed approach and use pulseaudio for gnome related stuff, bur use alsa directly by use of an .asoundrc for my media players
[18:32] <dashavoo> d3d, gimme a sec to see if it is similar to what happens to me, I don't usually use the apps you named
[18:32] <Hattori> qfour20: ok, so i'm doing that yet.. but i'm conecting with plink with the same user i connect when i do that manually.. can't understand why it doesn't get the JAVA_HOME var
[18:32] <jrib> SilverDawn: weird, that's a bug then.  edit /etc/bash*   just grep for command-not-found in there
[18:32] <d3d> stefg, thanks for the info.. i'm trying to avoid editing config files
[18:33] <qfour20> Hattori: is the JAVA_HOME var just set in your .profile, or is it exported?
[18:33] <Hattori> let me see
[18:33] <jrib> SilverDawn: ah, try reloading your shell (start a new one)
[18:33] <qfour20> Hattori: if the var is set, then it does not get inherited by other processes you start (scripts).  If it is exported, then all child processes see that var.
[18:33] <stefg> d3d: search the forums for 'system wide eq' .. that led me to a thread with useful info on a good .asounrc
[18:33] <Hattori> qfour20: hmm, where should .profile file supposed to be located?
[18:34] <qfour20> should be in $HOME.
[18:34] <qfour20> Hattori: for me it's /home/qfour20/.profile
[18:34] <Hattori> qfour20: don't have any..
[18:34] <qfour20> Hattori: try putting it in there
[18:34] <d3d> thanks stefg, i will check into that, but since this has worked in the past, and i don't think i've updated since then, i'm hoping there's something i can kick to have it work without editing files
[18:34] <qfour20> Hattori: sudo vi $HOME/.profile   then add:  export JAVA_HOME=/blah/blah
[18:35] <Hattori> ok let me try.
[18:35] <qfour20> Hattori: then su to yourself in that same shell and try again.
[18:35] <d3d> you can also . ./.profile to import into the current shell
[18:35] <ozanam> hello all
[18:35] <qfour20> Hattori: use d3d's method.  it's cleaner to source your profile than restarting the shell :-)
[18:36] <Ian_Corne> what is the +e mode? :)
[18:36] <notwist> if the /etc/network/interfaces is configured correctly with static ip and stuff and i still get "SIOCSIFFLAGS: Invalid argument" when trying to bring one of my three interfaces up, is it a driver issue? two other cards work fine with similar configs so I'm starting to think my configuration isn't the problem
[18:36] <ozanam> was just wondering if some1 could help me
[18:36] <qfour20> ozanam: we're all here to help (or be helped).  what's up?
[18:37] <madmartian> I tried to install 8.10a5 but changed my mind to wait for the stable version. How do I find out which swap file is used for 8.04.1?
[18:37] <Hattori> qfour20: i saved the .profile, so now if the ant script connect to the shell with plink should load .profile file before execute the .startup.sh?
[18:37] <qfour20> Hattori: yes, I think so
[18:37] <dashavoo> d3d, I can get mpd to freeze on my computer due to pulseaudio issues (or more specifically firefox issues), but with rhythmbox the worst that happens is the music doesn't play, the rest of the interface works... afraid I can't be of much more help
[18:37] <Hattori> let me see
[18:37] <StepNjump> jrib: thank you very much, it worked!
[18:38] <dashavoo> d3d, only thing I can suggest is make doubly sure that firefox is closed by doing "killall firefox"
[18:38] <Kattollikisd> Can Someone help me? I can see videos in ubuntu8.04... when I want to see a videos... all what I see is a black background with point red, include in Visualization, And I can see the Ubuntu grafic that suppose to see en the restart o shutdown?
[18:38] <d3d> dashavoo, i'll try that.. i guess it could be a mad plugin
[18:38] <maniheer> madmartian: the swap partition is always the same for every distro
[18:38] <maniheer> it is used by every distro
[18:38] <ozanam> hey thanks gfour, i have a intel 2200bg wireless adapter and have it installed via ndiswrapper which appears to be working as i have a wireless option in the network mannager and ndiswrapper has found and the hardware aswel. only thing is i cant search for wireless networks its like the wireless isnt turned on.. and i cant figure out who to turn it on.. any help would be grea tthanks
[18:39] <d3d> is there a way to detect what apps are using audio ?
[18:39] <Freddy1990> Hello, when I start ubuntu I get loads of errors about my USB ports, once they've passed and ubuntu is booted up, none of my usb devices work... (Also the sound played when the login is shown seems to hang, it's rather annoying)
[18:39] <tritium> madmartian: cat /etc/fstab | grep swap
[18:39] <CoolTrainer_Doug> Hi I need some help getting my sound to work, i have hardy.
[18:39] <mizipzor> making a shortcut with the command "cd /wanted/work/dir && bin-to-execute" fails, apparently, there is some problem with cd... but running the exact same line in konsole work as expected
[18:40] <ozanam> im using a nx8220 laptop and it has a led button for the wireless but it only turns the bluetooth on and off
[18:40] <maniheer> wats wrong CoolTrainer
[18:40] <CoolTrainer_Doug> my sound just doesn't work
[18:40] <maniheer> wat sound card?
[18:40] <wishie> how can i add a few files ive edited, back into an initrd img ?
[18:41] <Kuba> hi!
[18:41] <qfour20> ozanam: I'm not really sure, to be honest.  When I need to mess with the wireless on my box I use "iwconfig" from the command line.  There was a really nice graphic utility to do it, but it'll take me a minute to find the name of it.
[18:41] <CoolTrainer_Doug> intel 8201ca-ich3.  Its in my ibmthinkpad t30..  I switched everything to ALSA but it didn't help
[18:41] <qfour20> ozanam: also, I don't have any wireless devices through ndiswrapper, so ymmv.
[18:41] <mizipzor> whats the gnome variant of konsole? if there is such thing
[18:41] <ozanam> ok thaks gfour
[18:42] <tritium> mizipzor: gnome-terminal
[18:42] <mizipzor> tritium: thx
[18:42] <ozanam> well i thinks its just the point of turnin on the wireles card
[18:42] <qfour20> ozanam: found it.  it's called "wlassistant"  you would install it from the command line with:  sudo apt-get install wlassistant
[18:42] <maniheer> cooltrainer: do you mean 82801
[18:42] <CoolTrainer_Doug> oh yea Sorry
[18:42] <maniheer> lol
[18:42] <qfour20> ozanam: when you run it, you need root privileges, so from a shell, it would be:  sudo wlassistant
[18:42] <Kattollikisd> Can Someone help me? I can see videos in ubuntu8.04... when I want to see a videos... all what I see is a black background with point red, include in Visualization, And I can see the Ubuntu grafic that suppose to see en the restart o shutdown?
[18:43] <Hattori> qfour20: no, same error :(
[18:43] <qfour20> ozanam: if you're making a desktop shortcut for it, you would want to use gksudo
[18:43] <ozanam> yea kool its its downloadin now thanks
[18:43] <qfour20> Hattori: hmmmm.  can you get whatever it is that's initiating the plink to your ubuntu box to issue the command "env" and dump it to a file somewhere?
[18:43] <qfour20> Hattori: let's find out what vars are set and what's not
[18:43] <maniheer> CoolTrainer_Doug: have u tried using a mixer to raise the volumes
[18:44] <Kuba> i don't like the default behaviour after switching user: when i login i can see the "turn off" applet
[18:44] <thomashartman1> My sound just stopped working. I think it happened after I used gtpkod, but really that's just a guess. In the microphone pane everything is on with the volume turned up, nothing muted. But when I watch youtube or skype, no sound.
[18:44] <CoolTrainer_Doug> I have not, whats the terminal line to get to the mixer?
[18:44] <maniheer> alsamixer
[18:44] <ozanam> qfour: also on my actuall desktop when i run ndiswrapper its only flashes for a second and shuts down and ideas why reinstalling doesnt help
[18:45] <thomashartman1> maniheer: was that directed at me?
[18:45] <CoolTrainer_Doug> I ran that in terminal and it says my volume is up
[18:45] <maniheer> no sorry thomashartman
[18:46] <qfour20> ozanam: not 100% sure, but I've got a few ideas.  From the command line, can you run "iwconfig"  Take the output and post it somewhere like pastebin.ca and put a link in here to it so we can read it?
[18:46] <John0Neil> Is there any alternative to DeVeDe to burn Mpeg/Avi to DVD Video?
[18:46] <maniheer> CoolTrainer: all of them?
[18:47] <CoolTrainer_Doug> Master, Master M, and PCM are all up, the rest are down
[18:47] <maniheer> CoolTrainer: put some music on and raise each one until u hear it
[18:47] <maniheer> might work
[18:47] <MikeSeth> ozanam: I use wpa_supplicant
[18:48] <CoolTrainer_Doug> how do I raise my volume?  I can't find the mixer
[18:48] <ThePub> replaced nautilus with thunar.  thunar is definitely nicer imo, except it doesn't handle usb drive transfers as good.
[18:48] <ozanam> wpa_supplicant?
[18:48] <Freddy1990> I'm gon,na give this another shot...
[18:48] <maniheer> dont u have the gnome volume applet?
[18:49] <CoolTrainer_Doug> i don't see it anywhere
[18:49] <CoolTrainer_Doug> maybe thats my problem -_-
[18:49] <ozanam> qfour here is the output http://pastebin.ca/1196567
[18:49] <Kuba> how to call from console Menu->quit ?
[18:49] <maniheer> add it to the panel

[18:49] <CoolTrainer_Doug> how?
[18:49] <maniheer> and then click it CoolTrainer
[18:49] <MikeSeth> ozanam: yeah, since my network uses WPA security I use it to manage the connection

[18:50] <ozanam> ah rite mines wep
[18:50] <MikeSeth> by the way
[18:50] <MikeSeth> anyone knows how to turn the volume level gadget from logarigthmic to linear?
[18:50] <MikeSeth> its super annoying
[18:50] <qfour20> ozanam: ok, it definitely looks like your wifi is okay, it's just not being used to associate with an AP
[18:50] <Kattollikisd> Why I can see my videos and visualization in 8.04?
[18:50] <Whatsinaname> Please help,  I can use NX client from any machine but my new vista 64.  I keep getting "can not initialize display service"  even when trying to connect to Nomachines testdrive server.

[18:50] <RoMaiL> hi there
[18:51] <RoMaiL> can i install ubuntu 8.04 on my external USB HDD, if so, my windowsXP will make a duel boot option OR i will tell the computer from setup that boot from USB HDD? thanks
[18:51] <maniheer> then double click it
[18:51] <Kattollikisd> Why I can't  see my videos and visualization in 8.04?
[18:51] <ozanam> qfour: dorrty wat you mean ap
[18:51] <qfour20> ozanam: can you associate with an unsecured AP from the command line:  sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid SSID_OF_WIFI_AP
[18:51] <qfour20> ?
[18:51] <CoolTrainer_Doug> but no sound
[18:51] <qfour20> ozanam: sorry... AP = access point
[18:51] <qfour20> ozanam: for example, my home is "fourzerotwo" for the ssid of the AP
[18:51] <maniheer> double click what u added to the panel

[18:55] <Quentusrex-lapto> Azazel-A2, thanks a bunch.
[18:55] <raw> from where i can get support for compiz fusion ? I want to install it but i dont know how, i just extracted it and i want to install it and apply it on my system
[18:55] <Azazel-A2> Quentusrex-lapto: brb

[18:56] <ozanam> qfoue20: it cant find any networks i think the card is turned off and the shortcut wont turn it on
[18:57] <qfour20> NBrepresent: most likely the mixer is not set to control the right parameter of your soundcard, then
[18:57] <Quentusrex-lapto> Azazel-A2, I'll wait. Thanks.
[18:57] <NBrepresent> qfour20: where can i find an interface to change that setting?
[18:57] <qfour20> NBrepresent: looking for it now.  Not sure, but it might be in the mixer applet
[18:58] <NBrepresent> qfour20: thank you
[18:58] <qfour20> NBrepresent: aha!  right click on the mixer applet on the taskbar and go to preferences
[18:58] <user01_> hmmm . . . isnt it ironic that hurricane ike is poised to devestate cuba?
[18:58] <qfour20> NBrepresent: it says "select the device you would like to control"
[18:58] <tritium> klemen: g++ (really, you'd want to install build-essential if you intend to do much programming)
[18:58] <qfour20> NBrepresent: I think you want "master out" or some such
[18:58] <NBrepresent> qfour20: all right, i'll try them all!

[19:00] <user01_> it is in the instructions for samba
[19:00] <Azazel-A2> morning action
[19:00] <ActionParsnip> Azazel-A2: 7pm here duder
[19:01] <Azazel-A2> 11am here.  coffee just went on lol
[19:01] <Azazel-A2> Quentusrex-lapto still here?
[19:01] <Quentusrex-lapto> Azazel-A2, Alright. So I have two tests that work. I can connect multiple machines to my openvpn server when they are on the local lan.
[19:01] <Quentusrex-lapto> But none of them connect when they are outside of the lan.
[19:01] <Azazel-A2> Quentusrex-lapto but remote doesn't work?
[19:02] <Azazel-A2> ok. what port did you pick for vpn?
[19:02] <Quentusrex-lapto> I am able to connect to my webserver over port 8080 from remote and ssh over another high port.
[19:02] <ActionParsnip> Quentusrex-lapto: are you VPNing to a system internal to the LAN or is your router handling VPN connections?
[19:02] <Quentusrex-lapto> I've tried to set all the vpn connections to both port 1194 and 7999
[19:02] <Quentusrex-lapto> but niether port work.
[19:02] <ozanam> is there any program from ubuntu that controls hardware for example turning them on and off
[19:03] <Azazel-A2> got firestarter loaded?
[19:03] <Quentusrex-lapto> I'm not having the router handle vpn, just forward to internal server with vpn
[19:03] <krazy-h> hi there
[19:03] <Kattollikisd> I can't see videos and visualization in 8.04, help :(
[19:03] <Whatsinaname> Anyone up to the challenge of helping me get NX Client working?  I keep getting "cannot initial display service"  .... I can connect to my 8.10 box with other comptuers, but nx client on vista keeps giving me the error... Thanks in advance.
[19:03] <madmartian> is there anyone still around who answered my question earlier? i had to go to eat
[19:03] <ActionParsnip> Quentusrex-lapto: do yu have othr ports forwarded successfully?
[19:03] <Azazel-A2> yes he has 8080 forwarded sucessfully
[19:03] <ActionParsnip> Quentusrex-lapto: if you have iptables enabled you may have to permit the traffic from the WAN
[19:04] <Quentusrex-lapto> ActionParsnip, yes multiple other ports work. 8080 for http, another 8000+ port for ssh,
[19:04] <Quentusrex-lapto> The router is using pfsense distro
[19:04] <notwist> if the /etc/network/interfaces is configured correctly with static ip and stuff and i still get "SIOCSIFFLAGS: Invalid argument" when trying to bring one of my three interfaces up, is it a driver issue? two other cards work fine with similar configs so I'm starting to think my configuration isn't the problem
[19:04] <Azazel-A2> Quentusrex-lapto do you have firestarter firewall on machine?  it might be an easy way to verify to ports are open
[19:04] <Kattollikisd> someone here know about a room of support of Ubuntu in Spanish ?
[19:05] <Quentusrex-lapto> Azazel-A2, firestarter?
[19:05] <ActionParsnip> notwist: can we have a pastebin of you interfaces file please. feel free to remove any wifi security settings for security
[19:05] <ActionParsnip> !es | Kattollikisd
[19:05] <Kattollikisd> someone here know about a room of support of Ubuntu in Spanish ?
[19:05] <Kattollikisd> thanks ^^
[19:06] <notwist> ActionParsnip: do you mean etc network interfaces?
[19:06] <Azazel-A2> Quentusrex-lapto: its a firewall configurator. super simple to use.  if yu open the terminal applications | accessories | terminal we can grab it from UBUNTU real quick
[19:06] <ActionParsnip> notwist: indeed
[19:06] <ActionParsnip> !paste | notwist
[19:06] <Quentusrex-lapto> Azazel-A2my server is running ubuntu-server and is headless. I only have ssh connection with it
[19:06] <madmartian> I partly installed 8.10a5 but decided to wait for the stable version. I removed the partition that the main distro was installed on, but there are 2 swap partitions. How do I find out which one to get rid of?
[19:06] <notwist> ActionParsnip: http://paste.ubuntu.com/44262/
[19:06] <Azazel-A2> ok, can you SSH in?
[19:06] <notwist> ActionParsnip: eth2 wont go up
[19:07] <Quentusrex-lapto> Azazel-A2, my router is not running ubuntu. and my local server shouldn't have a firewall turned on.
[19:07] <ActionParsnip> notwist: which doesnt come up?
[19:07] <usser> madmartian, swap doesnt matter, u can delete either one of them
[19:07] <Quentusrex-lapto> Azazel-A2, yes. ssh works fine for my local vpn server.
[19:07] <madmartian> thanks
[19:07] <notwist> ActionParsnip: eth2 :)
[19:07] <Christine> hi - i recently bought a 16G usb key with the intention of installing hardy on it - I formated  as described in the online instructions - but after formatting and removing the key ubuntu no longer seems to recognise the device as a usb storage key - has anyone seen this before?
[19:07] <Azazel-A2> should not.  but I'm tryting to cut problem in half thats all.
[19:08] <ActionParsnip> notwist: do you see eth2 when you run ifconfig?
[19:08] <sravan> how to open .docx file in linux
[19:08] <notwist> ActionParsnip: no, i cant do either ifup or via ifconfig. i just get the error
[19:08] <Azazel-A2> try this first.  http://nmap-online.com/
[19:08] <jack__> can anyone give me a hand with gparted?
[19:08] <Azazel-A2> see if your ports go through the ISP firewall
[19:08] <notwist> ActionParsnip: I get "SIOCSIFFLAGS: Invalid argument" three times then failed to bring up eth2
[19:08] <ActionParsnip> notwist: set it to dhcp and comment (not delete) the other lines, see if it is shown but may fail dhcp
[19:09] <notwist> ActionParsnip: ok, hold on
[19:09] <jack__> has anyone got a problem with gparted where it doesn't detect any partitions?
[19:09] <Azazel-A2> if the port scanner can't see them its an ISP problem and thats the failure
[19:09] <ActionParsnip> notwist: Also check out  /etc/modules.conf for aliases for eth0, and /var/log/messages for error  messages from your NIC driver
[19:09] <sravan> how to open .docx file in linux ?
[19:09] <Azazel-A2> possibly
[19:10] <Scunizi> jack__: If you're running the gui version from the command line start it with sudo.  Never had it not detect partitions.
[19:10] <ActionParsnip> sravan: http://maketecheasier.com/ubuntu-howto-open-docx-file-in-openoffice/2007/12/05
[19:10] <notwist> ActionParsnip: i get "network is down" when it tries do send dhcpdiuscover
[19:10] <jack__> Scunizi: im running it from the gparted livecd
[19:10] <usser> sravan, openoffice should be able to open but it may lose some formatting
[19:10] <millertime_018> hey, how do i emulate vista with ubuntu as my host OS? ( i have both installed in a dual boot)
[19:10] <ActionParsnip> notwist: Also check out  /etc/modules.conf for aliases for eth0, and /var/log/messages for error  messages from your NIC driver
[19:10] <notwist> ActionParsnip: oh right. wait
[19:10] <millertime_018> hey, how do i emulate vista with ubuntu as my host OS? ( i have both installed in a dual boot)
[19:11] <ActionParsnip> !virtualbox | millertime_018
[19:11] <millertime_018> hey, how do i emulate vista with ubuntu as my host OS? ( i have both installed in a dual boot)
[19:11] <Efrem> Are You There?
[19:11] <the7thmagus> hey. whenever I use a audio program through jack or wine program using ALSA, gstreamer gets screwed up and Rhythmbox gives me a "couldn't start playback" error. what can I do?
[19:11] <ninuuz> #ubuntu-dl
[19:11] <ActionParsnip> millertime_018: you wont be able to run your installed vista
[19:11] <Whatsinaname> oh well
[19:11] <millertime_018> actionparsnip: yea i know, i have qemu
[19:11] <Scunizi> jack__: you should be good to go.  I haven't run that in a while so I can't remember the interface.  However, if it still holds true, in the upper right is a selection box for the different partitions.
[19:12] <Judgegeo> Hello, I'm runnign Ubuntu on an ASUS F3Sr laptop, and can't get any sound. I have downloaded alsamixer, and the latest version of alsa to no avail.
[19:12] <millertime_018> actionparsnip: i know that you have to use vmware, virtual box, or qemu but im asking
[19:12] <naxa> how can i check which ubuntu version do i have installed?
[19:12] <millertime_018> how is it done
[19:12] <jrib> !version | naxa
[19:12] <jack__> Scunizi: I know what you mean, but it says everything is unallocated space. all 242gb of my hdd
[19:12] <Judgegeo> ﻿Hello, I'm runnign Ubuntu on an ASUS F3Sr laptop, and can't get any sound. I have downloaded alsamixer, and the latest version of alsa to no avail.
[19:12] <enhazed> hello. can someone help me with ethernet settings in ubuntu? thank you.
[19:12] <Azazel-A2> Quentusrex-lapto: how the scan going?
[19:12] <the7thmagus> ﻿whenever I use a audio program through jack or wine program using ALSA, gstreamer gets screwed up and Rhythmbox gives me a "couldn't start playback" error. what can I do?
[19:12] <millertime_018> actionparsnip: but now why are you telling i won't be able to run my installed vista?
[19:13] <notwist> ActionParsnip: modules.conf doesn't exist and I can't find any error messages related to eth2 in /var/log/messages
[19:13] <Scunizi> jack__: sorry I'm at a loss. Do you have an OS installed on the HD? if so what? and if it's a nx what filesystem?
[19:13] <ActionParsnip> millertime_018: as people come in with dual boots thinking they can
[19:13] <ActionParsnip> millertime_018: you makea virtual hard drive which is a file on your system, you then mount your cd or image in virtual box and the instaler hinks its all running natively and installs to the image
[19:13] <jack__> Scunizi: I'm dual booting XP and gutsy
[19:13] <naxa> jrib, ok, i have hardy. but then why do i have gutsy updates in my update sources list????? instead of hardy????
[19:14] <Judgegeo> ﻿Hello, I'm running Ubuntu Hardy on an ASUS F3Sr laptop, and can't get any sound. I have downloaded alsamixer, and the latest version of alsa to no avail.
[19:14] <Scunizi> jack__: have you tried running gparted from inside gutsy as a comparison?
[19:14] <ActionParsnip> notwist: does it have a line for eth3
[19:14] <millertime_018> actionparsnip: ok-so i won't be able to emulate it or i won't be able to boot into vista?
[19:14] <millertime_018> actionparsnip: how do i make an image?
[19:14] <jrib> naxa: they would not get there unless you or a program you ran put them there
[19:14] <notwist> ActionParsnip: yeah. it says link up
[19:14] <Azazel-A2> judgegeo I might be able to help
[19:14] <jack__> Scunizi: how do i find gparted in gutsy? i was looking earlier but couldnt seem to find it
[19:14] <Judgegeo> Azazel-A2, any help would be appreciated
[19:14] <ActionParsnip> millertime_018: you can emulate it as you say but you will have another install of vista on your system in an image file
[19:14] <Saloomy> CAn anyone help me with grafix drivers?
[19:14] <notwist> ActionParsnip: but thats from 3 hours ago :P
[19:14] <Azazel-A2> need make and model of laptop first
[19:15] <ActionParsnip> notwist: ok can you give a pastebin of lspci
[19:15] <jack__> Scunizi: ah it wasn't installed, im installing now
[19:15] <Scunizi> jack__: it's called partition editor ..
[19:15] <ActionParsnip> !paste | notwist
[19:15] <jack__> oh is it
[19:15] <Scunizi> jack__: after install then System/Admin/Partition Editor
[19:15] <millertime_018> actionparsnip: how do i make the image?
[19:15] <jack__> Scunizi: my bad
[19:15] <Judgegeo> Azazel-A2, It's an ASUS F3S Series.
[19:15] <Scunizi> jack__: np :)
[19:15] <naxa> jrib, I see, this is strange! it only says "important secutity updates", what was strange for the first sight that i have two lines of this (+2 the same with "sources"). but i clicked edit then BOTH says gutsy updates in the description!
[19:15] <notwist> ActionParsnip: http://paste.ubuntu.com/44263/
[19:16] <Quentusrex-lapto> Azazel-A2, I might have fixed it. It was a problem with the router configuration.
[19:16] <ActionParsnip> millertime_018: its part of the software, yu can have a static image or a dynamic one which will grow as your install grows
[19:16] <jrib> naxa: are you looking at /etc/apt/sources.list directly?
[19:16] <naxa> jrib, and there is no hardy. however my update program downloads from the security.ubuntu..../main/...., not any else...
[19:16] <naxa> jrib, not yet but i will now
[19:16] <Azazel-A2> kewl.  the nmap site is very helpful for those kind of problems good luck!
[19:16] <ActionParsnip> notwist: ok so you have 4 NICs?
[19:16] <Saloomy> Im trying to get ubuntu running on my Sony Vaio TZ160N, i have it installed, and used aptget to install nvidia drivers
[19:16] <Saloomy> now x doesnt start
[19:16] <jack__> Scunizi: even if it does detect it, will i be able to change the partition i want, as its the linux that is mounted now i want to change
[19:16] <Azazel-A2> Judgegeo: ok click on terminal icon
[19:17] <duncanator> can anyone help me get dvds playing? i can open them in nautilus and navigate around, but they wont play in VLC
[19:17] <Azazel-A2> or applications | accessories | terminal
[19:17] <notwist> ActionParsnip: wait. shit. I think I've giving you the wrong info, its the eth3 that doesnt work
[19:17] <jack__> Scunizi: nope still nothing :(
[19:17] <ActionParsnip> Saloomy: when grub is offered press esc and choose fix xorg
[19:17] <Judgegeo> ﻿Azazel-A2, go on
[19:17] <jrib> !dvd > duncanator
[19:17] <Azazel-A2> sudo -s
[19:17] <notwist> ActionParsnip: i just need to fix the interfaces file. hold on
[19:17] <odea> irc.metalspirit.net
[19:17] <ActionParsnip> Saloomy: id suggest using envyng-gtk
[19:17] <Dabbu> can i restart sound service
[19:17] <ActionParsnip> notwist: lets see if this fixes it
[19:17] <duncanator> thanks
[19:17] <Scunizi> jack__: nope.. to change a partition it has to be unmounted.  Weird that it doesn't detect.. I'll try mine.. it almost the same configuration.. xp/Hardy
[19:17] <naxa> jrib, now i just took a look directly, and all gutsy lines are #-ed out
[19:17] <Judgegeo> ﻿Azazel-A2, and now?
[19:18] <Dabbu> can i restart  sound service without restarting the system
[19:18] <jack__> Scunizi: when i put in sudo fdisk /dev/sda, i get this
[19:18] <Azazel-A2> then type lspci and see if you can get the model and number, version and mfg for sound card
[19:18] <zetheroo> what are the system requrements for Xupuntu Hardy?
[19:18] <naxa> jrib, shouldn't i delete these? i almost added these to the sources in the manager
[19:18] <TheMaxzilla> What command can you run to determine the resolution of your screen?
[19:18] <usser> Dabbu, if u use hardy sudo /etc/init.d/pulseaudio restart
[19:18] <TheMaxzilla> Or where can I find it?
[19:18] <millertime_018> actionparsnip: ok-i have vista already installed. i am running qemu launcher. how do i make a vista image? one type of the following images: qcow2, empty raw, qcow2 from a raw image, qcow2 image from a vmware image, qcow2 image from a qcow image
[19:18] <Azazel-A2> then I take that info to google and come back in a few with some suggetions.
[19:18] <naxa> jrib, i mean accidentally, becouse there was no description about what is this only that these are "important security updates"
[19:18] <Judgegeo> ﻿Azazel-A2, Okay hang on. Thanks
[19:18] <ActionParsnip> millertime_018: as far as I know yu cant do anything with your vista install. You can only make a new one from scratch
[19:18] <Scunizi> jack__: do you only have one drive?
[19:19] <Saloomy> ActionParinsnip: Thanks! Ill try that.
[19:19] <enhazed> hello. can someone help me with ethernet settings in ubuntu? My internet connection is through ethernet and I configured everything correctly, but i can't connect.

[19:30] <phantomcircuit> deepfriedsquirre, i dont see why not...
[19:30] <Azazel-A2> I have instructions I found to patch the kernel.  but lets try something simpler first ok
[19:30] <xerxes1979> Guys what is the SMALLEST Ubuntu Linux distributions I can download and run? I dont want all the extra stuff.
[19:30] <dottedquad84> where is the php.ini file located?

[19:31] <xerxes1979> ActionParsnip, trust me bro I have no alternative. I need Excel 2007
[19:31] <ActionParsnip> xerxes1979: fluxbuntu or xubuntu
[19:31] <Azazel-A2> type: echo 'options snd-hda-intel model=3stack' >> /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base
[19:31] <MrKennie> enhazed: I was actually after ifconfig output from linux :)

[19:31] <Judgegeo> Azazel-A2, do you want me to do that?
[19:31] <madmartian> xerxes1979: or OO.o

[19:32] <ActionParsnip> xerxes1979: its your money dude, theres always an alternative
[19:32] <usser> cody, edit /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf
[19:33] <enhazed> MrKennie - that's going to be a bit difficult, but i think i can pull it off. i only have this one machine, dual booting. so i need to reboot, get into linux, fetch the ipconfig, reboot to windows, etc. i don't mind doing that, but it's going to take a while. is that ok? :)
[19:33] <Azazel-A2> won't be.  reboot. and come back in and let me know what happened.  if this doesn't fix it the we have to look at more complicated methods, this is a hail mary play to force load the driver
[19:33] <cody> bobertdos: that file gets wiped out I believe everytime dhclient starts up
[19:33] <Judgegeo> Azazel-A2, okay many thanks. I shall return shortly.
[19:33] <xerxes1979> ActionParsnip, I have looked into a lot very deeply. There is no alternative for MS Office2007 in Finance degree. Save your selves. Its too late for me :( I am lost to the dark side for ever
[19:33] <usser> cody, theres a prepend directive that lets u prepend the nameservers that u get from dhcp with your own
[19:33] <Denise> someone knows what is the port 30627 for?
[19:33] <usser> cody, and i think supersede domain-name lets u change the domain
[19:33] <jochmen> RoMail cant type fast but disconnect the internal drive connect the usb drive boot and install andso oncould do it
[19:33] <MrKennie> enhazed: is this the only machine on your lan?
[19:34] <ActionParsnip> xerxes1979: then you may have to run windows if it doesnt run and you need it that bad
[19:34] <RoMaiL> jochmen: how to disconnect the internal HDD, its a laptop ?
[19:34] <enhazed> MrKennie, there are other machines in the network, but none that i have access to, unfortunately
[19:34] <enhazed> i'll try though
[19:34] <xerxes1979> ActionParsnip, I think I am gonna download a linux flavor and try
[19:34] <enhazed> i'll be right back with the settings :)
[19:35] <xerxes1979> If it runs on Ubuntu I am pretty well off
[19:35] <jochmen> RoMail hmm disable in bios, why not dualboot
[19:35] <jochmen> ?
[19:35] <ActionParsnip> xerxes19tru but its a bit pricey for my boots
[19:35] <MrKennie> enhazed: just one thing, have you added your nameservers to /etc/resolv.conf?
[19:35] <RoMaiL> i lost DATA in duelboot, so i am afraid :)
[19:35] <xerxes1979> $40 is a steal
[19:35] <sarobat> does anyone know if it is possible to run Leopard virtualy on Ubuntu?
[19:36] <sunil_> hello all. i am very new to ubuntu
[19:36] <ActionParsnip> xerxes1979: crossover is 25 pounds and office 2007 is more than id care to speculate
[19:36] <Azazel-A2> ﻿Judgegeo: wb
[19:36] <ActionParsnip> sunil_: howdy
[19:36] <jochmen> Romail what about wubi install
[19:36] <sunil_> i have winxp/ubuntu latest dual boot mechine
[19:36] <Kephu> huh, how can I add a sudo-capable user from text-mode?
[19:36] <Judgegeo> Azazel-A2, I see/hear no change. I'll try a file.
[19:36] <Kephu> I forget ;)
[19:36] <cody> usser: thanks thats its. I was hoping /etc/network/interfaces would have a directorive but I don't see one. I guess I could make a script
[19:36] <sunil_> can connect from win xp to internet
[19:36] <maniheer> Kephu visudo
[19:36] <ActionParsnip> !adduser | Kephu
[19:36] <enhazed> MrKennie, no i haven't done anything of that sort, i just set the ip, netmask, gateway, dns. that's it...
[19:36] <sunil_> but cant connect with ubuntu
[19:36] <Azazel-A2> try to change volume.  do you have the volume control on menu bar?
[19:37] <Flannel> Kephu: adduser username, adduser username admin
[19:37] <ActionParsnip> sunil_: wired or wireless?
[19:37] <jochmen> !wubi
[19:37] <sunil_> wired
[19:37] <robbo> Is there anybody in here who may be able to offer me some advice on the installation of intel 855GM graphics drivers to obtain maximum resolution?
[19:37] <RoMaiL> jochmen: i want to install a clean installation of ubuntu, is it possible by the way ? if i disable my internal HDD from bios and select USB HDD from bios and install ubuntu on it?
[19:37] <Azazel-A2> actually first. I want you to verfiy if the module is loaded.
[19:37] <usser> cody, nope in interfaces you either get everything from dchp or use static, dhcpd is controlled by dhclient.conf
[19:37] <ActionParsnip> sunil_: ok if you run ifconfig do you see your devices
[19:37] <Judgegeo> Azazel-A2, everything is maxed, and unmuted.
[19:37] <MrKennie> enhazed: well, you need to add your nameservers to /etc/resolve.conf ideally.
[19:37] <usser> cody, err not dhcpd dhcp client
[19:37] <Azazel-A2> open terminal and type: sudo -s again
[19:37] <MrKennie> resolv.conf*
[19:37] <sunil_> eth0
[19:37] <sunil_> yes
[19:37] <ActionParsnip> !usb | RoMaiL
[19:38] <sunil_> i posted detail in ubuntu forum
[19:38] <ActionParsnip> sunil_: ok now type ifconfig eth0
[19:38] <ActionParsnip> and give us a pastebin
[19:38] <RoMaiL> thansks ActionParsnip
[19:38] <ActionParsnip> !pastebin | sunil_
[19:38] <ActionParsnip> RoMaiL: np man
[19:38] <sunil_> sorry sir. i am using the same mechine, but in win xp so i have to reboot
[19:38] <Kephu> ok, thanks guys ;)
[19:38] <Judgegeo> Azazel-A2, okay. Awaiting instruction
[19:38] <sunil_> can i give the ubuntu forum link?
[19:38] <jochmen> its not from the usb its installing ubuntu on it
[19:38] <Azazel-A2> lsmod | grep -i snd
[19:39] <ActionParsnip> sunil_: sure. i just want your output from that command
[19:39] <MrKennie> enhazed: how are you adding the network addresses anyway? are you using the network manager or manually editing the interfaces file?
[19:39] <sunil_> one second
[19:39] <RoMaiL> ahh jochmen
[19:39] <RoMaiL> :)
[19:39] <Judgegeo> Azazel-A2, what information do you want to know from the list?
[19:39] <enhazed> MrKennie - the network manage
[19:39] <enhazed> manager
[19:39] <MrKennie> enhazed: ah ok, it should take care of that for you then
[19:39] <gener> hi all
[19:39] <Azazel-A2> snd-intel etc things like that
[19:39] <RoMaiL> jochmen: he is right, want to install ubuntu on a USB HDD not from USB :)
[19:39] <cody> usser: there's a "post-up" command in interfaces you can set. That might be helpful in case ubuntu decides to change which dhcp client they use
[19:39] <jochmen> RoMail did you read about wubi?
[19:40] <sunil_> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=909325
[19:40] <IndyGunFreak> Judgegeo: that device isn't working out of box for you?
[19:40] <enhazed> i was thinking of going back into ubuntu and taking screenshots of each tab in the network manager tool, would that be helpful?
[19:40] <sunil_> sir this is the link five pages!
[19:40] <Judgegeo> IndyGunFreak, Nope
[19:40] <MrKennie> enhazed: I guess I would need to see what the output is from ifconfig and the output from route -n
[19:40] <sunil_> all details are there
[19:40] <IndyGunFreak> Judgegeo: what version of ubuntu are you using?
[19:40] <sunil_> in that link
[19:40] <RoMaiL> i tried this and wubi makes my Drives busy when i install ubuntu and ubuntu cant mount the drives, so i have to force them to mount
[19:40] <ActionParsnip> sunil_: is this your post?
[19:40] <Judgegeo> IndyGunFreak, Hardy
[19:40] <sunil_> yes
[19:40] <IndyGunFreak> weird..
[19:40] <Azazel-A2> apt-get install linux-backports-modules
[19:40] <Azazel-A2>  and reboot fixed problem in gutsy
[19:40] <sunil_> ofcourse
[19:41] <maniheer> robbo: sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-i810
[19:41] <RoMaiL> jochmen: if this is not possible i wont go for ubuntu thenn? because i am happy with windows yet
[19:41] <ActionParsnip> sunil_: please direct your speech, yuo can tab compleet names
[19:41] <Azazel-A2> try that.  its very basic and poster says it worked
[19:41] <IndyGunFreak> Azazel-A2: yeah it did... but it should work out of the box in Hardy, at least it has for me
[19:41] <enhazed> MrKennie - allright, i will get those. i'll be back in a few minutes. thank you very much for your help!
[19:41] <sunil_> sorry cant understand
[19:41] <Azazel-A2> It can't hurt
[19:41] <IndyGunFreak> i have that exact devie, and it works fine
[19:41] <Judgegeo> Azazel-A2, couldn't find package
[19:41] <sunil_> infact i am very new to this kind of things
[19:41] <Flannel> RoMaiL: You can install Ubuntu on an external harddrive.  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation#Installing%20on%20external%20or%20RAID%20hard%20disks has instructions
[19:41] <robbo> maniheer its not that simple, driver is installed, just cant get full resolution
[19:42] <ActionParsnip> sunil_: its all a learning curve
[19:42] <RoMaiL> Flannel: thanks for the link, letme read it
[19:42] <sunil_> ya i agree. sorry if i offended you
[19:42] <Azazel-A2> type linux-backports-modules-hardy  (you have hardy right)
[19:42] <lostaffair> test
[19:43] <Judgegeo> Azazel-A2, yes. LTS, Downloaded it 2 days ago.
[19:43] <jochmen> RoMail try the bios way , if ubuntu still sees the drive when turned off in bios dont install
[19:43] <jochmen> use live cd to test
[19:43] <Judgegeo> Azazel-A2, okay it worked. Installing now
[19:43] <Flannel> RoMaiL: You can verify where you're installing to in the installer.  It's not hard.
[19:43] <ActionParsnip> sunil_: dont do that, im websearching for a solution. im good but not that good
[19:43] <ActionParsnip> sunil_: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=582453

[19:44] <Kasra[K]> hi all
[19:44] <Kasra[K]> i have a problem with Floppy drive mount
[19:44] <jochmen> hmm my nintendo ds ran out of memory
[19:44] <jochmen> lol
[19:44] <Judgegeo> IndyGunFreak, No LSB modules avilable
[19:44] <Azazel-A2> I am try very basic things first.
[19:44] <Kasra[K]> It mount correctly...
[19:44] <ActionParsnip> sunil_: you may need to disable wake on lan in windows. ive seen this a few times
[19:44] <Kasra[K]> but how can i format that?
[19:44] <Flannel> !away > lmartin92
[19:45] <Azazel-A2> judge it installed?
[19:45] <ActionParsnip> sunil_: windows may have "locked" the nic
[19:45] <sunil_> my god what is that?
[19:45] <Judgegeo> Azazel-A2, still setting up
[19:45] <IndyGunFreak> Judgegeo: thats an unusual output for that, did you lsb_release -a?
[19:45] <ActionParsnip> sunil_: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=437982
[19:45] <Azazel-A2> you'll have to reboot to see if it worked.  did you upgrade or install from scratch?
[19:45] <sunil_> so what should i do exactly?
[19:45] <Judgegeo> IndyGunFreak, Yes. I did that and it said No LSB Modules, but it had some information listed below
[19:46] <Judgegeo> Azazel-A2, I installed from scratch
[19:46] <IndyGunFreak> Judgegeo: that info is what i wanted
[19:46] <lmartin92> Flannel, sorry........... I didn't know my irc client was set up that way
[19:46] <lensy> Can someone point me in the right direction of setting up custom apache 2 error pages?

[19:47] <Kasra[K]> hmm
[19:47] <IndyGunFreak> man, that is weird.
[19:47] <Kasra[K]> can't anyone answer me?
[19:47] <ActionParsnip> sunil_: basically jump in windows device manager and for the NIC, invert the option for wake n lan
[19:47] <xerxes1358_> He guys last time I ran Ubuntu Live CD setting up the Wireless was a bitch. I think Ubuntu could not see my RealTek Wireless card. Is that normal ??
[19:47] <ActionParsnip> sunil_: its locking the nic so ubuntu cant use it
[19:48] <bobertdos> Kasra[K]: There should be an option to format if you right-click the disk , if not you could try gparted.
[19:48] <sunil_> it is enable now
[19:48] <Kasra[K]> bobertdos, thanx
[19:48] <IndyGunFreak> mykhi: ther's several good ones, utorrent works great via wine, transmission, ktorrent, etc
[19:48] <ActionParsnip> xerxes1979:  many wifis arent detected
[19:48] <IndyGunFreak> !torrent | mykhi
[19:48] <Azazel-A2> hows bkport install going?
[19:48] <xerxes1358_> ActionParsnip, what to do then?
[19:48] <mn> what do i need to do to install something in .deb form?
[19:48] <ActionParsnip> xerxes1979: run lspci and start websearching for what you have
[19:49] <Judgegeo> Azazel-A2, Setting up linux-backports-modules-hardy (2.6.24.19.21) ...
[19:49] <sunil_> i have enabled or previously enabled already, dont know
[19:49] <IndyGunFreak> xerxes1358_: search ubuntuforums.org  ther's a lot of documenation to get realtek wireless devies working
[19:49] <ActionParsnip> xerxes1979: you will see what you need
[19:49] <sunil_> i want to try now
[19:49] <sunil_> can i?
[19:49] <ActionParsnip> sunil_: yes
[19:49] <bobertdos> mn: Normally, one uses the dpkg command in the terminal. sudo dpkg -i <package>
[19:49] <jochmen> any one that runs google scetchup succesfull
[19:49] <ActionParsnip> sunil_: reboot to windows and invert the wake on lan in device manager
[19:49] <Kasra[K]> bobertdos, when i want to delet some file from that It says: rm: cannot remove `fdx-pop.zip': Read-only file system
[19:49] <xerxes1358_> ActionParsnip, that is weird because a few ago the LiveCD worked out of box
[19:49] <Azazel-A2> no promises here.  but this is simple things.  indy gun freak what are you running generic, server?
[19:49] <sunil_> so let me leave for a while. let me reboot to ubuntu and try
[19:49] <sunil_> i will come with the results
[19:50] <mn> so like sudo dpkg -i limewire.deb?
[19:50] <mykhi> IndyGunFreak, thans mate, i actually tried utorrent under wine but its not way to go for me (emulation) and after few houres it starts to use lots of memory. i tried ktorrent aswell but its just not as good as ?torrent and its kde based (im gnome user) havent seen transmission tho, will take a look
[19:50] <IndyGunFreak> Azazel-A2: yes
[19:50] <ActionParsnip> xerxes1979: was it a different release?
[19:50] <Azazel-A2> on the laptop
[19:50] <Azazel-A2> personally I run server as desktop
[19:50] <IndyGunFreak> mykhi: i like transmission,t here's also azeurus, and deluge ithink
[19:50] <xerxes1358_> ActionParsnip, Yes I think it was called different
[19:50] <pablo__> hola
[19:51] <pablo__> quien habla español??
[19:51] <jochmen> frostwire is an other
[19:51] <ActionParsnip> xerxes1979: then thats why. you can boot to the old release to see whats installed to make it work
[19:51] <ActionParsnip> !es | pablo__
[19:51] <bobertdos> Kasra[K]: You'll probably need to add some options to the mount command so that it mounts with write permissions as well.
[19:51] <mn> hablo espanol
[19:51] <favro> !es
[19:51] <unop> Kasra[K], is this on a removable drive?
[19:51] <ortsvorsteher> ! es
[19:51] <Judgegeo> Azazel-A2, should the setup be taking this long?
[19:51] <Flannel> Azazel-A2: you probably should switch to the generic kernel instead
[19:51] <xerxes1358_> ActionParsnip, can you help me to locate the driver for it so I can save it on a USB stick and get the install to work right now
[19:51] <favro> !lag
[19:51] <Kasra[K]> uncorq, no .It's in my floppy drive
[19:52] <xerxes1358_> I need a system up and running by tonight to do home work
[19:52] <ActionParsnip> xerxes1979: sure give me your lspci output in a pastebin
[19:52] <Azazel-A2> flannel - it runs why switch.  if it aint broke don't fix it
[19:52] <xerxes1358_> ActionParsnip, I have windows installed
[19:52] <unop> Kasra[K], ok, how are you mounting the floppy?
[19:52] <ortsvorsteher> problem with showing movies in firefox since update to 8.04
[19:52] <trucMuche> [07 20:51] <trksh> Enter text here...hey <-- ?
[19:52] <Flannel> Azazel-A2: server kernel will give you much worse performance when doing things like using a mouse/keyboard
[19:52] <ActionParsnip> xerxes1979: you need to be in linux
[19:53] <Kasra[K]> bobertdos, so can u write that  permission?
[19:53] <IndyGunFreak> Flannel: hmm, ddn't know that
[19:53] <Azazel-A2> flannel - but gives me better performance for my irc server and other services on box
[19:53] <jochmen> bwtter work on your homework first
[19:53] <Kasra[K]> bobertdos, I use this command: sudo mount /dev/fd0 /media/floppy0
[19:53] <Kasra[K]> is it enough?
[19:53] <ortsvorsteher> !firefox
[19:53] <xerxes1358_> ActionParsnip, Ok Burning the Iso Image.
[19:53] <IndyGunFreak> Judgegeo: is that still installing?
[19:54] <ActionParsnip> Kasra[K]: as long as the folder /mnt/floppy0 exists
[19:54] <Azazel-A2> I have had to reboot my machine 3 time in last month running the server package. two power failures and a kernel upgrade
[19:54] <unop> Kasra[K], try .  sudo mount -o rw,defaults /dev/fd0 /media/floppy0
[19:54] <xerxes1358_> ActionParsnip, what exactly do you need me to type in Linux
[19:54] <Judgegeo> IndyGunFreak, yes. Still setting up.
[19:54] <ActionParsnip> xerxes1979: did you md5 check it?
[19:54] <Flannel> Azazel-A2: True, but your network latency probably negates most, if not all, of that benefit
[19:54] <Oggu_> How do i use an ssh-tunnel to surf trough it?
[19:54] <xerxes1358_> ActionParsnip, no I think it is ok.
[19:54] <Azazel-A2> I like the server install.
[19:54] <IndyGunFreak> Judgegeo: thats very strange... are you viewing the details?.. is it asking you to hit Y or somethig... that shouldn't take long toinstall
[19:54] <Flannel> Azazel-A2: 10ns vs 15ns doesn't make much of a difference when youre dealing with 4ms round trip

[19:59] <lensy> ActionParsnit: they will sugest methods that do not work on ubuntu
[19:59] <IndyGunFreak> Judgegeo: still no sound?
[19:59] <Judgegeo> IndyGunFreak, Nope =(
[19:59] <ActionParsnip> lensy: say you are using ubuntu, i gota jet
[19:59] <IndyGunFreak> Judgegeo: what model laptop do you ahve?
[20:00] <Azazel-A2> nope. I'm out of suggestions
[20:00] <lensy> ActionParsnip: A jet????? WTF
[20:00] <Judgegeo> IndyGunFreak, ASUS FS3r
[20:00] <unop> Kasra[K], still 'read-only filesystem' ?
[20:00] <lensy> o
[20:00] <lensy> ok
[20:00] <^paradox^> i recently installed xubuntu-desktop. quite pleased with it except for one problem
[20:00] <IndyGunFreak> Judgegeo: try this... open a terminal..
[20:00] <IndyGunFreak> and type this.
[20:00] <enhazed> guntbert - it's ok, it's just that i set the same gateway as in windows. i just checked, it appears there under gateway. and it's 86.105.120.1
[20:00] <Kasra[K]> unop, yeah
[20:00] <unop> Kasra[K], what does this command give you?   mount | grep -i /dev/fd0
[20:00] <IndyGunFreak> gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base
[20:00] <Azazel-A2> indy, I'll let you take this as you have same machine
[20:00] <IndyGunFreak> Judgegeo: then enter your root password, and i've got a line i want you to add there...
[20:01] <jesse> If the LiveCD hangs on my machine - is that an indicator that ubuntu will not play well/install on this laptop?
[20:01] <IndyGunFreak> Azazel-A2: not the same machine, just the same device, honestly, it should work otu of the box.
[20:01] <^paradox^> when i play videos and songs in totem i get no sound
[20:01] <guntbert> enhazed: but in the paste there is no default gateway set
[20:01] <^paradox^> whats going on?
[20:01] <Azazel-A2> should but doesn't :(
[20:01] <Judgegeo> IndyGunFreak, okay, now?
[20:01] <jack__> does anyone know why gparted isn't detecting my partitions?
[20:01] <siloko> just installed a command line 8.04 and put xorg and fluxbox on top of it booted the windowmanager and used conky to check my system status - only 56 processes running compared to a standard ubuntu intall of c250
[20:01] <IndyGunFreak> Judgegeo: add this line to the end of that file.     options snd-hda-intel model=acer
[20:01] <mn> Hey, what do I need in order to play DVDs in ubuntu?
[20:01] <IndyGunFreak> i know you don't have an acer, but i just wan tto see if that works
[20:01] <thomashartman1> how do I "restart" alsa? re http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=899002&highlight=ALSA
[20:01] <jack__> mn: they should already work
[20:02] <siloko> what on earth are those extra 200 processes doing?
[20:02] <IndyGunFreak> !dvd | mn
[20:02] <mn> jack__: are you on a liveCD?
[20:02] <Judgegeo> IndyGunFreak, saving
[20:02] <guntbert> enhazed: with that config  you can only reach 86.105.121.0 (your net)
[20:02] <jack__> mn:nope
[20:02] <Judgegeo> IndyGunFreak, okay, now what?
[20:02] <IndyGunFreak> Judgegeo: reboot after saving
[20:02] <Judgegeo> IndyGunFreak, OKay, brb.
[20:02] <mn> hmm
[20:02] <enhazed> guntbert - how can i set my gateway then? i have no idea why it's not set, the settings window is open right now and it shows the gateway typed in...
[20:02] <ortsvorsteher> !route
[20:03] <Wicked> hello all. i seem to be having a issue with my mouse...everything seems to work on it...but when moving around my mouse is jerky...it will move along then kinda studder. it has been working fine untill now.
[20:03] <Azazel-A2> judgegeo I am going to leave you in the hands of indy, I am diabetic and need to go eat
[20:03] <MrKennie> enhazed: try route add default gw 86.105.120.1
[20:03] <MrKennie> oops
[20:03] <MrKennie> enhazed: try route add default gw 86.105.120.1 eth0
[20:03] <Kasra[K]> unop, /dev/fd0 on /media/floppy0 type vfat (ro)
[20:03] <siloko> you set your gateway in /etc/network/interfaces
[20:03] <jesse> is the livecd a good compatibility test? since my laptop won't run it - should i give up hope of installing?
[20:03] <IndyGunFreak> Azazel-A2: well, we'll see if this works when he gets back... honestly, it should
[20:03] <Azazel-A2> let me know if I miss him.  the back ports could not have hurt
[20:04] <enhazed> MrKennie - is this the exact command i need to type in the terminal? "try route add default gw 86.105.120.1 eth0"
[20:04] <eder> olá
[20:04] <eder> bom dia
[20:04] <eder> boa tarde
[20:04] <enhazed> without "try" :)
[20:04] <MrKennie> enhazed: sudo route add default gw 86.105.120.1 eth0
[20:04] <MrKennie> enhazed: exactly that
[20:04] <enhazed> allright. thank you!. brb :)
[20:04] <Joeseph> After the latest update, I am no longer able to connect to my windows share file.   I can't access it at all through nautilus. Any ideas?
[20:04] <ortsvorsteher> jesse: look into blacklist for finding your hardware details in there. if there is no hardware on blacklist which contains your laptop, try installation and have fun.
[20:04] <MrKennie> enhazed: but also check your gateway setting in the net manager
[20:05] <unop> Kasra[K], see the 'ro' on the end .. it's an indication that the volume has been mounted read-only .. if you tried the rw option to mount and you still get that, perhaps the write-lock has been enabled on the floppy itself
[20:05] <enhazed> MrKennie - i did that, and it shows the correct one
[20:05] <enhazed> that's why i'm puzzled
[20:05] <sunil_> hello actionparsnip
[20:05] <enhazed> i'll try the terminal command anyway and see what happens
[20:05] <Judgegeo> IndyGunFreak, Okay, back
[20:05] <Azazel-A2> indy you did have him remove the line: I had him add for snd-intel right?
[20:05] <Ab3L> good night
[20:05] <IndyGunFreak> any joy?
[20:05] <IndyGunFreak> Azazel-A2: i didn't think youd id.
[20:05] <sunil_> i trie after inverting wake on lan
[20:05] <thomashartman1> beep doesn't produce a beep noise.
[20:05] <sunil_> no result
[20:05] <jesse> ortsvorsteher: i have been trying to install from the alternate iso - it fails at a different spot each time :/
[20:05] <thomashartman1> nor can I play radio, but is there some separate thing that I could at least get beeps?
[20:06] <jesse> where is the blacklist?
[20:06] <Flannel> jesse: Have you verified the integrity of the ISO?
[20:06] <MrKennie> enhazed: try that command first off at least you will be online in ubuntu and it will be easier to solve that way
[20:06] <thomashartman1> s/radio/music, audio generally/
[20:06] <thomashartman1> beep definitely worked as of a few days ago. or is that all alsa?>
[20:06] <Judgegeo> IndyGunFreak, nothing.
[20:06] <jesse> Flannel: I have - and i even burned a new iso because i hadn't md5'd the first time - but it checks out fine
[20:06] <ortsvorsteher> jesse: i had the same problem. so i get an original cd ordered by web.
[20:06] <thomashartman1> I mean, all controlled by alsa?
[20:06] <IndyGunFreak> Judgegeo: doens't make much sense,
[20:06] <Azazel-A2> echo 'options snd-hda-intel model=3stack' >> /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base is whatI had him do
[20:06] <jesse> Flannel: i also have run h/w diagnostics on everything - and it's supposedly all ok
[20:06] <Flannel> jesse: Can you try it in different hardware?
[20:06] <zhaozhou> I'm having troubles with codecs... which one would you need to play AVI's right? I can open em, but not very well. VLC plays them without sound, and mplayer/totem is reeaaalllyyy slow.
[20:07] <Azazel-A2> might conflict
[20:07] <thomashartman1> zhaozhou: I use realplay
[20:07] <Kasra[K]> unop, any idea?
[20:07] <Judgegeo> IndyGunFreak, does this mean I'm screwed? =/
[20:07] <jesse> Flannel: will the livecd boot on a mactel? if so.. i could test in one
[20:07] <tsuna27> i am having an error in totem while playing a video this is the error " could not demultiplex stream"
[20:07] <thomashartman1> kmplayer is also nice. both apt-gettable.
[20:07] <zhaozhou> wm
[20:07] <IndyGunFreak> Judgegeo: no, it means you're doing something wrong, that device should work fine
[20:07] <zhaozhou> wm
[20:07] <jesse> ortsvorsteher: did the official cd work for you?
[20:07] <thomashartman1> seems to give you a lot of codecs when you install em
[20:07] <zhaozhou> Ah, crap.
[20:07] <zhaozhou> thomashartman1, Thanks.
[20:07] <FloodBot2> zhaozhou: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[20:07] <Azazel-A2> judgegeo we gave you conflicting instructions
[20:07] <Joeseph> It seems that it won't mount them anymore... Should I try to manually mount my windows share through smb?
[20:07] <thomashartman1> zhaozhou: sometimes something will play in one but not the other, i just try both.
[20:08] <ortsvorsteher> jesse: yes, it works fine. may you try to clean your cd?
[20:08] <enhazed> MrKennie - i typed in the command, it asked for my password, and then it said SIOCADDRT: No such process
[20:08] <jack__> does anyone know how to use testdisk?
[20:08] <IndyGunFreak> Judgegeo: did sound work on the live CD?
[20:08] <Azazel-A2> options snd-hda-intel model=3stack <-- you need to remove my line if you added his
[20:08] <ortsvorsteher> !de
[20:08] <mn> on https://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html it says type this sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/examples/install-css.sh into terminal but when I do, it tells me "command not found"
[20:08] <jesse> ortsvorsteher: well i've tried with 3 different brand new cds . . so i don't think that's the problem
[20:08] <jesse> ortsvorsteher: brand new blanks that is - that i burned the iso onto
[20:08] <Judgegeo> IndyGunFreak, not that I noticed. I rebooted and installed, don't recall hearing anything.
[20:08] <zhaozhou> thomashartman1, Hm, realplayer is not installable.
[20:08] <IndyGunFreak> Azazel-A2: i had him add that line, but model=acer(since that worked for my device)
[20:09] <thomashartman1> zhaozhou: that one maybe you have to compile from source
[20:09] <thomashartman1> but should be easy
[20:09] <Azazel-A2> indy, have him remove my line right before it
[20:09] <thomashartman1> just go to the realplay website, follow the instructions
[20:09] <thomashartman1> been a while since I did that
[20:09] <zhaozhou> thomashartman1, have to be a better way then that.
[20:09] <IndyGunFreak> Azazel-A2: Judgegeo remove that line that Azazel-A2 told you to add before, and just leave the line i gave yo uthere, and restart
[20:09] <zhaozhou> thomashartman1, Do not like to compile anything in ubuntu, only gives me trouble.
[20:09] <ortsvorsteher> jesse: did you trie this cd's on other hardware?
[20:09] <thomashartman1> or maybe they have an ubuntu package/instructions there.. it was really easy.
[20:09] <Azazel-A2> judgegeo, basically I gave you same line to insert but with a different driver
[20:09] <thomashartman1> realplay is for total dummies
[20:09] <thomashartman1> target market is mom/pop
[20:09] <Flannel> mn: Did you install that package?
[20:09] <tureklai> anybody use torrentflux? I've just installed it, and trying to log in, but cant, user\pass is okay, after clicking login it just gives me back the login screen with no errors no nothing...
[20:09] <Judgegeo> IndyGunFreak, can you give me the cl again?
[20:10] <jesse> ortsvorsteher: unfortunately i don't have any other hardware i can test anything other than the livecd on
[20:10] <MrKennie> enhazed: hm
[20:10] <tsuna27> i am having an error in totem while playing a video this is the error " could not demultiplex stream"
[20:10] <IndyGunFreak> Judgegeo: gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base
[20:10] <thomashartman1> you might not need to compile anything after all, just check out the website
[20:10] <mn> Flannel: libdeveread3? yes
[20:10] <jesse> ortsvorsteher: and i'm really trying to use the alternate iso
[20:10] <mn> Flannel: libdvread3? yes*
[20:10] <jesse> ortsvorsteher: where is the blacklist?
[20:10] <enhazed> MrKennie - this is my first time on linux, i have no idea what to do, i'm just using my intuition. completely at your mercy here :)
[20:10] <Azazel-A2> indy, I think you got right idea.  boot of live cd and if it works figure out the different between alsa-base files on ram drive and hard drive
[20:10] <ortsvorsteher> jesse: is that right, you tried the live cd cause of testing ubuntu? an installation ends without message?
[20:11] <ortsvorsteher> !blacklist
[20:11] <Judgegeo> IndyGunFreal, Okay It now reads; # Ubuntu #62691, enable MPU for snd-cmipci options snd-cmipci mpu_port=0x330 fm_port=0x388 options snd-hda-intel model=acer
[20:11] <ortsvorsteher> jesse: which country you are from?
[20:11] <Judgegeo> IndyGunToy, restarting now.
[20:11] <Judgegeo> IndyGunFreak, whoops got your name wrong. Haha
[20:11] <zhaozhou> Ubuntu does not endorse minimal installs...
[20:11] <IndyGunFreak> Judgegeo: ok, try changing Acer to 3stack
[20:11] <MrKennie> enhazed: that should in theory work but I wonder if that's why net manager can't set it either.
[20:12] <Judgegeo> IndyGunFreak, it was stack3 before though?
[20:12] <Azazel-A2> 3 stack doesn't work thats the line I gave him
[20:12] <enhazed> MrKennie - is there anything else i could do?
[20:12] <IndyGunFreak> oh ok
[20:12] <MrKennie> enhazed: one sec
[20:12] <jesse> ortsvorsteher: i'm am in the usa, i tried the live cd and standard iso installation first, both hung. then i tried two different burned copies of the alternate iso, and installation fails at various points with each.
[20:12] <enhazed> ok
[20:12] <Judgegeo> IndyGunFreak, okay i'll restart.
[20:12] <RYknow> I'm having a heck of a time with mounting my HD's. can anyone help me out?
[20:12] <Azazel-A2> there are 4 different options for that driver, acer 3stack and two more let me get them from a book marked page from yesterday
[20:13] <Flannel> mn: Mmmm, packages.ubuntu.com is having problems right now.  Mind pastebinning the output of this: dpkg -L libdvdread3
[20:13] <tsuna27> i am having an error in totem while playing a video this is the error " could not demultiplex stream"
[20:13] <ortsvorsteher> jesse: try wiki.ubuntu.com and search there for hardware blacklist/whitelist
[20:14] <Azazel-A2> indy if acer gave that error message that was better than what he had before. just missing components
[20:14] <mn> Flannel: sure, just a sec
[20:14] <tureklai> anybody use torrentflux? I've just installed it, and trying to log in, but cant, user\pass is okay, after clicking login it just gives me back the login screen with no errors no nothing...
[20:14] <guntbert> enhazed: while MrKennie is thinking try "sudo ifconfig eth0 up", just to see the output, should change nothing
[20:14] <Azazel-A2> oh they other options where toshiba and dell I think. I am sure about toshiba though
[20:15] <enhazed> guntbert , allright, will do
[20:15] <ortsvorsteher> jesse: which hardware do you use? older one?
[20:15] <Judgegeo> IndyGunFreak, okay. Let me try a file now.
[20:15] <jesse> ortsvorsteher: A Dell inspiron 8500 - it's a p4 2.something ghz
[20:16] <ortsvorsteher> jesse: how much memory?
[20:16] <jesse> ortsvorsteher: 256mb
[20:16] <Judgegeo> IndyGunFreak, no - still no sound.
[20:16] <IndyGunFreak> hmm
[20:16] <winrid> how do i share a file from a debian 4.0 machine to ubuntu 8.04?
[20:17] <Flannel> !nfs | winrid
[20:17] <winrid> i know
[20:17] <winrid> but it wont work
[20:17] <mn> Flannel: http://paste.ubuntu.com/44290/
[20:17] <ortsvorsteher> jesse: i think it will work with 256mb, but this is very low. but, how long your last installation worked?
[20:17] <Flannel> winrid: or if its just one file, you can use scp or whatever.
[20:17] <Flannel> !doesntwork | winrid
[20:17] <winrid> sudo mount 192.168.1.125:/home/guest ~/guest
[20:17] <winrid> mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on 192.168.1.125:/home/guest,

[20:17] <winrid>        need a /sbin/mount.<type> helper program)
[20:17] <FloodBot2> winrid: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[20:17] <winrid>        In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
[20:17] <Impy^> could anyone help me i'm trying to install gtk2hack (nethack) but i just can't figure out how to install it :(
[20:17] <jesse> ortsvorsteher: the only os that has ever previously been on this laptop is xp - it worked fine
[20:17] <Azazel-A2> judgegeo, I think the acer option was a better bet. gave an error message.  you also try toshiba instead of acer
[20:18] <MrKennie> guntbert: my memory on networking theories is very rusty, is his gw address actually valid for that network?
[20:18] <Flannel> alright, that page is wrong apparently.  Try this instead: sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/install-css.sh
[20:18] <zhaozhou> AZkI'm having troubles with codecs... which one would you need to play AVI's right? I can open em, but not very well. VLC plays them without sound, and mplayer/totem is reeaaalllyyy slow.
[20:18] <winrid> i cant mount the directory on the other machine
[20:18] <MrKennie> guntbert: hense the no such process thing
[20:18] <ortsvorsteher> jesse: yes, this is possible. did you read the minimum requirements for an installation?
[20:18] <Azazel-A2> judgegeo: issue, getting the right option on that line should ifx it
[20:18] <zhaozhou> Uhrm... enter button is too close...
[20:18] <Flannel> mn: actually, its just outdated, see the new page: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/musicvideophotos/C/video.html
[20:18] <unop> winrid,  use  mount.cifs  (with the right options) instead
[20:18] <winrid> unop, how?
[20:19] <Flannel> mn: You were actually looking at the 6.06 version of that page
[20:19] <robbo> hi
[20:19] <mn> Oh
[20:19] <Judgegeo> Azazel-A2, so what do I need to do? Just keep changing the "brand" name?
[20:19] <unop> winrid, the manpage describes the various options but ..
[20:19] <Azazel-A2> options snd-hda-intel model=uniwill-m31 for the ASUS F3J! try that I jsut found that on web
[20:19] <tsuna27> i am having an error in totem while playing a video this is the error " could not demultiplex stream"
[20:20] <rsc_> any GTK theming gurus here?
[20:20] <rsc_> :)
[20:20] <rsc_> or anyone know where i can find some of those guys?
[20:20] <unop> winrid, or wait .. are you mounting an NFS export?
[20:20] <guntbert> MrKennie: the lines which are here are ok, but default gw is missing
[20:20] <jesse> ortsvorsteher: the minumum requirements are only 64mb ram... but do you recommend xubuntu instead?
[20:20] <mn> Gracias, Flannel
[20:20] <Azazel-A2> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=314383 (reference link for the ASUS F3J laptop snd)
[20:20] <ortsvorsteher> tsuna27: did you find anything about this output in your preferred search engine?
[20:20] <Judgegeo> Azazel-A2, you're going to hate me.. whats the CL again? =P
[20:20] <winrid> unop, i dont understand it :(
[20:20] <mn> jesse, what are your specs?
[20:20] <guntbert> enhazed: whats the output?
[20:21] <winrid> wait
[20:21] <unop> winrid, what kind of share is this on the remote machine?
[20:21] <Azazel-A2> no prob. sudo (or as indy like gksudo) gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base
[20:21] <winrid> i found it
[20:21] <MrKennie> guntbert: what I mean is his subnet mask is 24 so technically his gateway is on another network
[20:21] <winrid> nfs

[20:21] <Judgegeo> Azazel-A2, Oh, nevermind. I didnt know the terminal had memory after a reset. All I had to do was press Up

[20:21] <jesse> ortsvorsteher: do i need a different iso for xubunutu?
[20:21] <IndyGunFreak> Azazel-A2: well, you should use gksudo.. tis n ot cuz i like it..lol
[20:21] <tsuna27> ortsvorsteher: nothing that could help me
[20:21] <mn> Well, italian
[20:21] <IndyGunFreak> !gksudo | Azazel-A2

[20:22] <jesse> ok - thanks guys
[20:22] <Leefmc> Flannel: You familiar with KDE at all? Is this error window normal? http://files.leeolayvar.com/Screenshot.png I get it from multiple programs, but it just feels weird to get an error window about an error/warning window.. heh.
[20:23] <Azazel-A2> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=314383 indygunfreak you MUST bookmark this ubuntu fourm, it will save you alot of headaches. I jsut found it
[20:23] <MrKennie> guntbert: I'm probably missing something but I'm confused as to how that works.
[20:23] <ortsvorsteher> tsuna27: paste again your failure message plz
[20:23] <IndyGunFreak> Azazel-A2: yeah, i think i've read that before.
[20:23] <winrid> is there a gui program i can use to setup nfs?
[20:23] <mn> winrid:   vlc?
[20:23] <guntbert> MrKennie: so am I at the moment
[20:23] <unop> winrid, nautilus-connect-server  if you use gnome
[20:23] <winrid> mn, is that a question or a recondmentation?
[20:23] <Azazel-A2> takes out guess work hopefully.  if F3J is close to F3S we got it
[20:23] <Falcons> listen i am having a fit with finding firestarter
[20:23] <anom01y> how do I configure my tv tuner card ?
[20:24] <winrid> hmm
[20:24] <Flannel> Leefmc: that's a crash thing. So, your error that caused the error window also causes a crash, or something similar.
[20:24] <guntbert> enhazed: thats ok for now, I'm still thinking
[20:24] <Falcons> !firestarter
[20:24] <MrKennie> enhazed: you still there?
[20:24] <mn> winrid:  sorry, I meant what is vlc
[20:24] <winrid> unop, im using kde now
[20:24] <ortsvorsteher> !tv
[20:24] <IndyGunFreak> Azazel-A2: strange thing though, most of that, is for Gutsy, this should work fine in hardy
[20:24] <winrid> mn, sudo apt-get install vlc
[20:24] <jesse> ortsvorsteher: since i've been having problems - is the alternate iso recommended?
[20:24] <unop> winrid, hmm, not sure then.
[20:24] <Leefmc> Flannel: Yea, a bit circular heh. So what crashed then, the error window crashed?
[20:24] <Flannel> Leefmc:
[20:24] <jesse> ortsvorsteher: of xubuntu this time. . .
[20:24] <winrid> vlc is a multimedia program. works for everything :)
[20:24] <Azazel-A2> indygunfreak -- **see 'Murphy's Law'
[20:24] <Flannel> Leefmc: No idea.  The backtrace may be able to tell you.
[20:24] <enhazed> guntbert & MrKennie - i found another strange thing. i opened "network tools", and under the "devices" tab i selected eth0 and then clicked on the "CONFIGURE" button next to it. And it says "no such interface". that doesn't sound right... i just finished installing ubuntu, did absolutely nothing on or to it..
[20:24] <livingdaylight> !samba
[20:25] <Leefmc> Flannel: Becuase in both programs that this happens quite often in (Amarok and digiKam), nothing ever seems to be wrong.. heh
[20:25] <ortsvorsteher> jesse: i dont know... i am now from my laptop on. there is a standard ubuntu with gnome running
[20:25] <MrKennie> enhazed: oh, yet ifconfig shows it as up
[20:25] <Leefmc> Flannel: K
[20:25] <winrid> is there  a gui program i can use to connect to a nfs machine

[20:25] <MrKennie> enhazed: are you in windows now?
[20:25] <winrid> lol murphus law lol
[20:25] <guntbert> enhazed: try "ping 86.105.120.1"
[20:26] <IndyGunFreak> Judgegeo: ok
[20:26] <enhazed> MrKennie - i managed to open another room and to get online from a differrent computer :)
[20:26] <MrKennie> enhazed: ah ok
[20:26] <ortsvorsteher> jesse: how long did your last installation run?
[20:26] <enhazed> guntbert - will do that. be right back (room down the hall)
[20:26] <erUSUL> winrid: once the nfs share is mounted you can use any file browser you want including nautilus
[20:26] <Judgegeo> IndyGunFreak, **** nothing.
[20:26] <jesse> ortsvorsteher: maybe 1/2 an hour
[20:27] <winrid> erusul, i need help mounting the file
[20:27] <winrid> thats my problem
[20:27] <tsuna27> ortsvorsteher: " could not demultiplex stream"
[20:27] <erUSUL> !nfs | winrid
[20:27] <Azazel-A2> indy we need a macro like !snd-laptop to that like or something
[20:27] <ortsvorsteher> jesse: on my last installation i tried it over 2 hours, than i tried an original cd ....
[20:27] <enhazed> guntbert & MrKennie - tried the ping and no errors but 0& on everything
[20:27] <ortsvorsteher> tsuna27: in totem?
[20:28] <enhazed> i used the ping tab from the "network tools" app
[20:28] <gigi66_> ciao
[20:28] <gigi66_> !list
[20:28] <jesse> ortsvorsteher: you mean you tried the alternate first - and then the standard cd worked?
[20:28] <mn> now what do I do in vlc?
[20:28] <samurroud> lord entra no #ubuntu-pt
[20:28] <ortsvorsteher> jesse: yes
[20:28] <tsuna27> ortsvorsteher: yes in totem
[20:29] <RYknow> How can I share my drives to access them from a Windows machine, and my Laptop, which is running xubuntu?
[20:29] <guntbert> enhazed: strange, that was on your ubuntu, right?
[20:29] <samurroud> lord: entra no @ubuntu-pt
[20:29] <ortsvorsteher> tsuna27: cause i dont know now how to solve the problem, may you like to try vlc?
[20:30] <MrKennie> enhazed: change your subnet mask to 255.255.252.0
[20:30] <enhazed> MrKennie, ok
[20:30] <Judgegeo> IndyGunFreak/Azazel-A2, any more ideas? ='(
[20:30] <enhazed> guntbert - what are you reffering to, being on my ubuntu? :)
[20:30] <Azazel-A2> http://www.mail-archive.com/ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com/msg856371.html (exact instructions for your laptop, this keeps getting better)
[20:31] <chx> hi. i have created an installer on a stick from the alternate iso loosely based on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuServerFlashDriveInstaller and now it complains at the install the base system step that it can't determine the release
[20:31] <chx> obviously it misses some file or directory
[20:31] <guntbert> enhazed: I asked if you did that ping on the ubuntu-machine
[20:31] <darrend> I created a VM using ubuntu-vm-builder's default options.  What username/pwd does it create?
[20:31] <mn> now that I have vlc, will I be able to do the same things if I uninstall Totem?
[20:31] <bobertdos> RYknow: The easiest area to share is your home directory, because the Samba config file already has that templated. For Ubuntu to Ubuntu sharing, you might also need NFS.
[20:31] <Azazel-A2> The most important is the line:
[20:31] <Azazel-A2> options snd-hda-intel model=lenovo
[20:31] <Azazel-A2> Excert from page
[20:31] <Impy^> could anyone help me i'm trying to install gtk2hack (nethack) but i just can't figure out how to install it, im getting alot of errors
[20:31] <chx> but the debug output does not show what -- it just says "DEBUG: resolver (libnewt0.52): package does not exist (ignored)
[20:32] <Judgegeo> Azazel-A2, so just add that line? Nothing else?
[20:32] <enhazed> guntbert - yes, of course. no errors, but 0% on everything
[20:32] <Azazel-A2> try that option.  it also says the volume will be all the way down after you reoot. change the snd-hda-intel model= to be that model.  this is for yyou laptop model specifically so I hold high hopes it will work
[20:32] <chx> in main/n/newt/ i can see the package.
[20:32] <kantor> hi, do you guys think a spinrite like program for Linux would be a good idea ?
[20:32] <Azazel-A2> sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base
[20:32] <guntbert> enhazed: lets start at the beginning, from your windows machine, ping the ubuntu machine
[20:33] <Judgegeo> Azazel-A2/IndyGunFreak - If this work's I owe you a beer or two =P
[20:33] <enhazed> guntbert - ok
[20:33] <MrKennie> guntbert: somehow you will need to restart networking so probably the easiest way is to reboot to make sure routing is cleared up etc.
[20:33] <IndyGunFreak> Azazel-A2: thats interesting, hard to understand why it doesn't work w/ hardy though
[20:33] <IndyGunFreak> Judgegeo: eh, i' dont drink.. :)
[20:33] <MrKennie> er enhazed sorry
[20:33] <Azazel-A2> neither do I lmao
[20:33] <bobertdos> mn: I just got back to my computer. What is it you're needing to do in VLC?
[20:33] <Judgegeo> IndyGunFreak, How about a Coke Zero then? :P
[20:33] <enhazed> guntbert - well, it worked, pinged just fine
[20:33] <IndyGunFreak> Judgegeo: ehe..coke zero i repulsive, i'll just take a water..lol
[20:33] <shey> Lemme ask the pros.. Will switching my desktop from Gnome to Fluxbox enhance my performance??
[20:34] <Judgegeo> Azazel-A2, Okay going to restart
[20:34] <IndyGunFreak> shey: i would say almost definitely
[20:34] <Azazel-A2> k.
[20:34] <MrKennie> enhazed: you can now ping your gateway?
[20:34] <Judgegeo> IndyGunFreak, okie dokie!
[20:34] <shey> I love fluxbox, but I just dont want to deal with the issues if its not worth it.
[20:34] <enhazed> MrKennie - i just pinged the linux machine from this windows machine and it pinged fine...
[20:34] <Demian> hi
[20:34] <mn> bobertdos:  I just installed VLC because totem was default playing my dvd in Italian so I want to know if I can get rid of Totem without sacrificing functionality to save disk space
[20:34] <mn> hi
[20:34] <guntbert> enhazed: good, now please (still on windows): "tracert netzmafia.de", pastebin the output
[20:35] <shey> sudo apt-get me a life.
[20:35] <shey> thanks.
[20:35] <enhazed> guntbert will do
[20:35] <Demian> how can i see the installation procedure of a ubuntu package? i want to build a new version of a package, but i want to install it the same way ubuntu does.
[20:35] <Azazel-A2> the worst upgrade I ever had w/ ubuntu. gnome had a permission error the file permissions were wrong for the the gnome config file :( that sucked
[20:35] <Demian> i mean, there should be some install script or parameters
[20:35] <Demian> right?
[20:35] <Azazel-A2> thats was going to dapper drake from warty I think
[20:35] <guntbert> MrKennie: I try to avoid rebooting, in linux it seldom helps
[20:36] <mn> Demian: to see what's going on while installing just sudo apt-get install it and watch the output
[20:36] <MrKennie> guntbert: aye, it was meant for enhazed but still :)
[20:36] <bobertdos> mn: I think you can. It would just be a matter of uninstalling totem-xine or totem-gstreamer. Hopefully, it won't take any dependencies with it.
[20:36] <MrKennie> guntbert: easier than explaing what to type at this point
[20:36] <oro> join
[20:36] <mn> bobertdos: so VLC and totem do exactly the same things?
[20:37] <Demian> mn: i don't want to reinstall, i want to replace an existing package with a new version not available in ubuntu repo at this moment, so i'll build it by hand.
[20:37] <enhazed> guntbert - http://paste.ubuntu.com/44302/ the traceroute
[20:37] <Azazel-A2> indy, has to call cable company yesterday for internet.  whil on hold they have their trouble shooting techniques.  no word of a lye. "If you use the Windows operating system, plese go to www.microsoft.com/.." routinely and install your secutiry updates.
[20:37] <Azazel-A2> had to call
[20:37] <yates> just tried ubuntu yesterday for the first time and I LOVE IT!!!!
[20:37] <guntbert> MrKennie: I didn't follow from the start, so I thought it never worked on ubuntu for him
[20:37] <mn> Demian: oh
[20:37] <enhazed> MrKennie - i tried rebooting several times, including since we started talking.. no effect
[20:37] <yates> this is after 3.5 years of fedora
[20:37] <Judgegeo> Azazel-A2/IndyGunFreak , SOUND LOW?! ARE YOU KIDDING. It blew my ears off with a hgih pitched scream.
[20:37] <Demian> mn: but i want to install it the same way ubuntu does, preserve paths and that
[20:37] <MrKennie> enhazed: I mean since changing the subnet mask
[20:37] <Azazel-A2> it worked!
[20:37] <mn> ah
[20:37] <Judgegeo> Azazel-A2/IndyGunFreak, Yea :P
[20:37] <irfan> hi, does anyone know if there is virtualbox-ose-modules package released for 2.6.27-2-generic ???
[20:37] <IndyGunFreak> Judgegeo: well, adjust yoru volume for that
[20:38] <yates> question: how do you get a touchpad to drag by double-tap-and-hold?
[20:38] <whileimhere> Are there any applets that will put my firefox favorites onto the gnome panel?
[20:38] <bobertdos> mn: Well, they're both media players, but the main difference is that Totem uses all the external codecs and VLC uses mostly internal ones (they're hard linked to the progran).
[20:38] <marie_ux> The volume in my ubuntu machine is very low, I have an acer aspire 1640, and yes the volume mixer is at maximum, any idea???? thanks
[20:38] <Judgegeo> Azazel-A2/IndyGunFreak, seems to be lots of static? Just adjust the controls?
[20:38] <Azazel-A2> http://www.mail-archive.com/ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com/msg856371.html judgegeo, write that url down on a card and put it in computer stuff somewhere for future refernce
[20:38] <MrKennie> enhazed: you can verify the settings have applied by doing ifconfig and route -n should show the default gw
[20:38] <IndyGunFreak> Judgegeo:  you can try that... see if it helps
[20:38] <mn> bobertdos: so which do you think is better?
[20:39] <enhazed> MrKennie, ok, i'll do those again
[20:39] <Azazel-A2> or print page and stick it in your computers box or something. that is where I got the eventual answeer
[20:39] <guntbert> enhazed: still strange, please (still on windows) pastebin the output of route (I hope thats the correct name)
[20:39] <Azazel-A2> ok guys, have to go eat. later
[20:39] <Judgegeo> Azazel-A2/IndyGunFreak, thank you very very much you two. Anything I can do to say thank you?
[20:39] <MrKennie> enhazed: if you're in windows route print should work
[20:39] <IndyGunFreak> Judgegeo: lol, na..

[20:40] <bobertdos> mn: Well, I go back and forth between the two. VLC tends to be a little easier to maintain exactly BECAUSE it uses hard-linked codecs.

[20:51] <shey_> Can someone assist me with session problems? I installed Fluxbox, and just as I thought i cannot seem to get the login window to give me the menu to switch the session.
[20:51] <mn> ndiswrapper-commons
[20:51] <MrKennie> enhazed: sorry to be a pain, can you boot into windows and pastebin route print
[20:51] <enhazed> sure
[20:52] <enhazed> not at all a pain, thank you very much for helping! :)
[20:52] <enhazed> i'll be right back
[20:52] <MrKennie> enhazed: ok
[20:52] <MrKennie> guntbert: I think we need to find the gateway to the network he needs a route to
[20:52] <marie_ux> bobertdos: with pulse its d same, any other idea???
[20:52] <mn> xerxes1358: nevermind, download ndiswrapper from sourceforge
[20:52] <bobertdos> xerxes1358: In addition to ndiswrapper, like mn suggests, I also recommend ndisgtk. Having the graphical interface majorly cuts down on  complexity.
[20:52] <marie_ux> should be something with d drivers???
[20:53] <xerxes1358> mn, bobertdos however note that the previous LiveCD from Ubuntu supported my wifi! just fine.
[20:53] <joshuajtl> hi folks, does anyone know where to get the plugin that allows gimp to open psd files?
[20:53] <xerxes1358> not sure why it is not working now
[20:53] <guntbert> MrKennie: thats right, I just got mixed up with two machines, one dual: where he was at the moment
[20:53] <enhazed> guntbert - sorry about the confusion
[20:53] <lostaffair> ls
[20:53] <shey_> wow, my console fonts are freakin HUGE!
[20:54] <guntbert> enhazed: not your fault :)
[20:54] <MrKennie> guntbert: can network manager handle additional routes?
[20:54] <mn> xerxes1358: are you dual booting with win on another partition?
[20:54] <nebukan> hey, if i have the dvd-iso local on my hdd, no dvd to record it to but would like to install it anyways.. using ubuntu now.. is this possible?
[20:54] <sethz> how i put my firewall off?
[20:54] <enhazed> the linux machine is booting into windows now. when it starts up i'll get the route print
[20:54] <xerxes1358> mn, no
[20:54] <shey_> sethz: did you install one?
[20:54] <lostaffair> sorry
[20:55] <mn> xerxes1358: did you ever have win on this computer?
[20:55] <guntbert> MrKennie: I hope so, but cannot try, because I got "roaming mode"
[20:55] <sethz> how i see how many vhosts i have?
[20:55] <Demian> how can I use dpkg to download a package but not install it ?
[20:55] <sunil_> hello mn, i ma here
[20:55] <bobertdos> marie_ux: It might be. Have you read the factoids yet? There could be some useful clue in the troubleshooting guide somewhere.........
[20:55] <xerxes1358> mn, yes I just installed Ubunutu over Windows Vista.
[20:55] <sunil_> i am here
[20:55] <Demian> i just want the .deb file
[20:55] <xerxes1358> mn, wireless works fine under XP and Vista.
[20:55] <mn> sunil_:ok, still lookin
[20:55] <guntbert> enhazed: I#m surprised at your speed, you said the other machine was down the hall?
[20:55] <sunil_> sorry for troubling
[20:56] <mikejet> i notice that pages with lots of youtube embeds crash firefox.
[20:56] <mn> xerxes1358: did you ever reinstall xp or vista from the OEM's cds?
[20:56] <sunil_> have you seen my post in ubuntuforums.org?
[20:56] <sethz> how i see how many vhosts i have?
[20:56] <xerxes1358> mn, Yes.
[20:56] <StepNjump> Guys, I'm trying to install vmware under Ubuntu Hardy Heron. I found it in synaptic BUT when I try to install it, I get the following: vmware-server:
[20:56] <StepNjump>  Depends: vmware-server-kernel-modules  but it is not installable
[20:56] <StepNjump>  Depends: libssl0.9.7  but it is not installable
[20:56] <StepNjump> Can anyone help? Thanks a lot
[20:56] <mn> sunil_:yes
[20:56] <FloodBot2> StepNjump: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[20:56] <enhazed> guntbert - not a very long hall :))
[20:56] <enhazed> i got the route print, pasting now
[20:56] <sunil_> mn, I tried this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=437982 also
[20:56] <xerxes1358> mn, I have the Wifi driver on CD
[20:56] <mn> xerxes1358: and you didn't have to get drivers to get a wireless connection under win?
[20:56] <bobertdos> Demian: I'm pretty sure dpkg and apt-get both have options for that. Read their manpages for more info.
[20:57] <mn> xerxes1358: ok
[20:57] <enhazed> guntbert & MrKennie - http://paste.ubuntu.com/44308/plain/
[20:57] <sunil_> how can i remove the present driver and re install a new driver from realtek?
[20:57] <shey_> StepNjump: go read the ubuntu forums, theres tons of help there.
[20:57] <shey_> StepNjump: its all explained in the forums.
[20:57] <joshuajtl> hello please, how can I open a psd in gimp??
[20:57] <Dabbu> i connect to internet using my USB DSL Modem using wvdial but when connection is slow the connection will disconnect and reconnect in interval of 10-20 sec and i am not able to do anything like browsing or chatting.......any help?
[20:57] <Demian> ok bobertdos
[20:57] <enhazed> (i'm typing your names in front of my lines because i'm assuming there's some sort of highlight feature, i can stop doing that if it's annoying, not sure about the ettiquette on this)
[20:58] <enhazed> :)
[20:58] <xerxes1358> mn, ? So now what ?
[20:58] <mn> xerxes1358: I would say you need to get ndiswrapper from sourceforge
[20:58] <StepNjump> Hi guys, I'm trying to install vmware on Ubuntu http://paste.ubuntu.com/44309/
[20:58] <shey_> StepNjump: go read the ubuntu forums, theres tons of help there.
[20:58] <shey_> StepNjump: its all explained in the forums.
[20:58] <mn> xerxes1358: then you can install your windows driver under linux

[20:58] <shey_> obviously your not listening..
[20:59] <StepNjump> Ok thanks a lot Shey
[20:59] <shey_> your welcome.
[20:59] <mn> xerxes1358: sure thing
[20:59] <xerxes1358> nice
[20:59] <StepNjump> No I was trying to figure out how this pasting thingy works
[20:59] <enhazed> and by the way, should i boot back into linux or is there anything more i can do on windows?
[20:59] <Petrov> StepNjump: http://www.howtoforge.com/ubuntu_feisty_fawn_vmware_server_howto
[20:59] <shey_> oh ok =0
[20:59] <shey_> =)
[20:59] <joshuajtl> Im getting this error when trying to open a psd in gimp: Cannot handle PSD files in CMYK color
[20:59] <mn> ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net to install it xerxes1358
[20:59] <xerxes1358> mn, cant I just install it from package manager in Ubunutu ?
[21:00] <guntbert> MrKennie & enhazed: I don't see how this could work at the moment, but it obviously does
[21:00] <Petrov> StepNjump: http://www.howtoforge.com/installing-vmware-server-on-ubuntu-8.04
[21:00] <mn> xerxes1358: that's the GUI front-end for it
[21:00] <xerxes1358> ok
[21:00] <enhazed> guntbert - you mean the settings i have on windows? :)
[21:00] <bobertdos> joshuajtl: I'm assuming that implies that Gimp can only handle psd's in RGB.
[21:00] <erUSUL> joshuajtl: pretty self explicative gimp can not open CMYK psd only RGB ones (i guess)
[21:01] <mn> ndisgtk is the GUI front-end for ndiswrapper
[21:01] <guntbert> enhazed: yes, they seem to be wrong, but they work :/
[21:01] <MrKennie_> grr
[21:01] <joshuajtl> bobertdos, erUSUL, is there then anyway to have it open the CMYK in RGB ?
[21:01] <mn> xerxes1358: let me know when you get it downloaded
[21:01] <enhazed> well... that's strange. had no idea
[21:01] <nebukan> anyone, reistalling from a local iso-file? no bootcd/bootdisk..
[21:01] <xerxes1358> mn, ok
[21:02] <shey_> ok now, can someone help me with Gnome??
[21:02] <MrKennie_> guntbert: I can't see how it's working in windows. Ubuntu wil not add the route because there's nothing to attach it to.
[21:02] <stalin> alguien k hable español?
[21:02] <erUSUL> joshuajtl: dunno
[21:02] <negge> shey_: you have to be a bit more specific...
[21:02] <erUSUL> |es | stalin
[21:02] <erUSUL> !es | stalin
[21:02] <mn> stalin vaya ud. a #ubuntu-es
[21:02] <xerxes1358> mn, I installed it via package manager
[21:02] <stalin> thank's
[21:02] <shey_> negge: I installed fluxbox, then went to change the sessions, but its not asking me which session I want, and now I cant get back into x.
[21:02] <xerxes1358> It asks me for a .inf file I think I can now install the driver from cd not?
[21:02] <shey_> BUT!!!
[21:02] <shey_> its running
[21:03] <guntbert> MrKennie_: you're probably right
[21:03] <MrKennie_> guntbert: he is on a 22 so I was guessing simply changing his netmask to 255.255.252.0 might work
[21:03] <negge> shey_: okay. I don't know anything about that, sorry
[21:03] <mn> xerxes1358: is the driver a single .exe or .cab?
[21:03] <shey_> negge: ok thanks.
[21:03] <shey_> Im back on idle.
[21:03] <mn> xerxes1358: or is it unpacked on the cd?
[21:04] <guntbert> MrKennie_: but windows config states /24
[21:04] <MrKennie_> guntbert: exactly, that is why I can't see how it's working
[21:04] <MrKennie_> especially as there are no other routes
[21:04] <enhazed> i need to brb, phone.
[21:05] <jgedeon> !ufw
[21:05] <shey_> jgedeon!
[21:05] <shey_> can you help me?
[21:05] <shey_> yes, today I am on the other side of the assistance line.
[21:05] <jgedeon> Hey there shey_ whats going on?
[21:06] <shey_> I broke gnome somehow, X is still running, obviously, cause shey is here, but!! somehow I broke the session and it wont allow me to switch to fluxbox.
[21:06] <enhazed> ok... back. do you think there's anything that can be done? i have no idea why my windows connection is weird. my provider set that up
[21:06] <shey_> I am in text console now.
[21:07] <Polarina> I have a Mitac laptop with Nvidia GeForce 8600MGT graphic card (not using restricted drivers) and suspend doesn't work - It can resume, but the screen remains completely black. I've been told that disabling ACPI can solve this issue. Is that an viable solution?
[21:07] <bobertdos> joshuajtl: There's a less powerful editor called Krita that can handle CMYK. If you're running Gnome, it will run, but it will want to install a few of the K libraries (not the whole environment though ;))
[21:07] <mrxmike> i added a extension cable to my monitor, now it doesnt detect the right resolution anymore
[21:07] <favro> shey: http://fluxbox-wiki.org/index.php/Howto_add_fluxbox_to_gdm
[21:07] <guntbert> enhazed: I wanna know from what windows machine the tracert was
[21:07] <shey_> favro: I am in console
[21:07] <xerxes1358> mn, it is unpacked on cd (I had to find the cd ). And it is a .inf file indeed
[21:07] <shey_> How you gunna give me a website with no running x
[21:07] <shey_> thats like throwing someone water when they are drowning.
[21:07] <jgedeon> shey_ console is   great place!!!  No WM to screw things up.  LOL
[21:07] <shey_> lol
[21:07] <favro> shey: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop   and   startx
[21:07] <mn> xerxes1358: ok copy all of the files from the cd into a single directory
[21:07] <guntbert> enhazed: I mean was it "the other" or was it your "dual"
[21:08] <shey_> favro: tried that, lemme try something else. I ust thought of something.
[21:08] <shey_> cntrl-alt-f2 to the rescue!
[21:08] <jgedeon> shey_ does top show anyting running for gdm?
[21:08] <enhazed> the traceroute was from this machine, not the one running ubuntu
[21:08] <mrxmike> how can i use a custom rule/resolution for my nvidia driver
[21:08] <mrxmike> without DPMS?
[21:08] <enhazed> i have windows up on the dual-boot machine now, so i can do a traceroute there if you want
[21:09] <jgedeon> shey_ also how did you mess it up?  edit xorg.conf?
[21:09] <MrKennie_> enhazed: sure
[21:09] <enhazed> ok
[21:09] <enhazed> MrKennie  traceroute to what? :)
[21:09] <xerxes1358> mn, done.
[21:09] <mn> xerxes1358: now locate the .inf file and in a terminal type ndiswrapper -i example.inf
[21:09] <shey> o.O
[21:09] <shey> \o/
[21:09] <Jimmey1> NICK jimmey
[21:09] <Jimmey1> Shit.
[21:09] <Jimmey1> Sorry.
[21:09] <FloodBot2> Jimmey1: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[21:09] <guntbert> enhazed: doesn't matter use netzmafia.de  again, lets denote "your" machine as 1, and the "other" as 2
[21:10] <mn> xerxes1358 (replace example with the name of the file of course)
[21:10] <MrKennie_> enhazed: www.google.com will do
[21:10] <shey> jgedeon: I dunno
[21:10] <enhazed> guntbert - allright, so the dualboot machine is 1 and the windows-only machine is 2.
[21:10] <enhazed> :)
[21:10] <jgedeon> shey, what do you mean you don't know.
[21:10] <shey> jgedeon: Im back in it now, now I am trying to get the menu during login so I can switch sessions.
[21:10] <xerxes1358> mn, I did it via the GUI and found the driver
[21:11] <mn> sunil_:sorry, but i can find nothing
[21:11] <mn> xerxes1358: so now you installed the driver?
[21:11] <shey> buh bye ghost.
[21:11] <sunil_> ok that is alright. i will try later again
[21:11] <shey> brb, lemme try something
[21:12] <xerxes1358> mn, it says: net8187b: Hardware present: yes.
[21:12] <mn> so now disconnect your ethernet cable and see if your wireless works
[21:13] <JohnMS> When I run apt-get install I get this message: E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable) E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/)
[21:13] <xerxes1358> mn, shouldnt I try to configure the network first?
[21:14] <mn> well, your ethernet cable is unlugged from your router right?
[21:14] <enhazed> guntbert & MrKennie - http://paste.ubuntu.com/44319/plain/ the traceroute from the dualboot machine
[21:14] <guntbert> JohnMS: did you use sudo?
[21:14] <JohnMS> Yes.
[21:14] <Ralf4Dbox> hello there, greetings from a german Kraut. Can anybody help me with problems while displaying videos on 24'' display? There is a break line in all movies/recordings in ceveral applications.
[21:14] <night_time> hi guys, I lost my top window's bar which contains the close, minimize, and expand buttons, I tried to restart compiz but problem is not solved
[21:14] <erUSUL> !resetpanels
[21:15] <jgedeon> JohnMS, either something else is using it or you didn't type sudo apt-get update
[21:15] <xerxes1358> mn, I think it works :)
[21:15] <xerxes1358> It is searching
[21:15] <mn> xerxes1358: good :)
[21:15] <JohnMS> jgedeon: I have nothing else running, and I have used sudo.
[21:15] <Qster> why is it that linux web browsers are slow/dont work as well as windows browsers?
[21:15] <favro> night_time: if you have emerald type   emerald --replace
[21:15] <mn> Qster: Web browsers?
[21:15] <guntbert> enhazed: lets try another way. Who gave you the IP-Adress, you should use?
[21:16] <jgedeon> JohnMS, type sudo -i and that will make you like root and then do the apt-get update and see what it does.
[21:16] <JohnMS> jgedeon: Okay.
[21:16] <enhazed> guntbert - the ip address was assigned to me by my provider
[21:16] <Qster> mn: yes like firefox with alot of graphics etc lags when you scroll down where as on windows you dont see any difference..
[21:16] <JohnMS> jgedeon: Got the same error message. Should I just delete the lock file?
[21:16] <xerxes1358> mn, It cant connect to the network.
[21:17] <mn> Qster: you can use firefox on windows or linux
[21:17] <night_time> ﻿favro:  thanks this worked
[21:17] <Qster> is there a way to give more processing power so it makes it smoother?
[21:17] <mn> xerxes1358: what error is it giving?  just saying it can't connect?
[21:17] <Ralf4Dbox> hello there, greetings from a german Kraut. Can anybody help me with problems while displaying videos on 24'' display? There is a break line in all movies/recordings in ceveral applications.
[21:17] <Ralf4Dbox> +c+s
[21:18] <pteague> is there a program i can run from the command line & get it to play a sound?
[21:18] <guntbert> enhazed: I see, your provider gave you two different configurations for two computers?
[21:18] <eubey> pteague, mplayer?
[21:18] <enhazed> yes, each computer has its own configuration
[21:18] <enhazed> they actually came and set each of them up manually
[21:18] <eracc> Qster, graphics scrolling is handled by X and the graphics driver on Unix-like operating systems. Upgrade your driver and/or graphics card for better graphics handling.
[21:19] <jgedeon> JohnMS, Have you check if any other apt-get's were running???  top | grep apt-get
[21:19] <enhazed> everything always worked fine, i just wanted to try ubuntu and the troubles started
[21:19] <mn> Does WINE emulate / as C:\?  If not, what part of the hard-drive is it considering C:\?
[21:19] <Polarina> I have a Mitac laptop with Nvidia GeForce 8600MGT graphic card (not using restricted drivers) and suspend doesn't work - It can resume, but the screen remains completely black. What can I do to solve this?
[21:19] <babo> i never knew that my mac address was broadcast to my ISP over ADSL ? I thought hardware addresses were stripped at router ?
[21:19] <boritek> hello why am i unable to see the bbc flash videos in ubuntu hardy?
[21:20] <mn> xerxes1358: is it working now?
[21:20] <guntbert> enhazed: have you tried to ask your ISP's help desk?
[21:20] <mn> boritek: are you able to see any flash  videos?
[21:20] <eracc> Qster, in Microsoft operating systems the graphics handling is "married" to the OS. Under Unix-like systems the graphics handling is a software layer on top of the OS.
[21:20] <xerxes1358> mn, no it cant connect
[21:20] <boritek> mn: yes, i can see other flash contents and videos
[21:21] <mn> boritek: then, idk
[21:21] <Qster> eracc: is that something that will always be like that?
[21:21] <mn> xerxes1358: is the ethernet cable still plugged into your computer and not into the router?
[21:21] <enhazed> guntbert -  no, it was allready late when i finished installing ubuntu. i guess i'll just try them tomorrow?
[21:21] <eracc> Qster, the Unix-like method is much better for overall OS stability. So, I certainly hope so. :)
[21:21] <jgedeon> JohnMS, killall aptitude && killall apt-get  && killall dpkg && killall frontend
[21:21] <boritek> mn: its shows its video window and a loading circle in it, but it never starts playing
[21:21] <Whatsinaname> Help.  NX Client on vista connects in safe mode to my Ubuntu 8.10, so I know connection is set up correctly, but when not in safe mode "can not initialize display service" is the error I get....
[21:21] <enhazed> guntbert & MrKennie_ - so there's nothing to do? :)
[21:21] <Whatsinaname> Bueler?
[21:22] <mikejet> npviewer.bin keeps crashing when there are many embeded youtubes on a webpage (with firefox x86_64)
[21:22] <xerxes1358> mn, Is it necessary for the network to have Internet connection? Should I thus connect the internet cable to the router again?
[21:22] <mn> boritek: try it with more than one browser and on more than one OS to try to pinpoint the problem
[21:22] <eracc> Qster, on Linux your GUI can die and you can still use the system. Not so with Microsoft's method.
[21:22] <MrKennie_> enhazed: well, from what I can tell linux can't add the default route because the network the gateway belongs to is not assigned anywhere
[21:23] <guntbert> enhazed: I'm afraid I have no further ideas, as the configuration of 1/windows looks plainly wrong to me, so as if they had played some "dirty tricks" or so
[21:23] <Qster> eracc thats true..
[21:23] <eracc> Qster, also, X is a network GUI. So, you can have a dead graphics card and still be able to load your desktop from another Linux PC.
[21:24] <mn> xerxes1358:  if your ethernet cable is not connected to your modem then you can't use wireless.  Your ethernet cable needs to run from the ethernet port on your modem to the one on the router and you can plug your computer into port 1 on the router with an ethernet cable if you wish
[21:24] <MrKennie_> guntbert: maybe changing the netmask will work but test adding the gateway manually again.
[21:24] <phantomcircuit> is there a way that I can set a maximum amount of memory any single program can use?
[21:24] <enhazed> guntbert - ok... so i suppose if windows was "fooled" by their settings, linux can't be persuaded? :)
[21:24] <xerxes1358> mn, I am going to connect the cable back to the router. Maybe that will help
[21:24] <xerxes1358> brb
[21:24] <enhazed> MrKennie_ - i'll go retry to add the gateway
[21:24] <mn> xerxes1358: k and it should
[21:24] <phantomcircuit> cause i keep accidentally opening huge files in firefox and getting into tons of swap
[21:24] <phantomcircuit> which kills my system
[21:24] <MrKennie_> enhazed: rememember to change the netmask first and see if you get any errors
[21:24] <eracc> Qster, so, upgrade your graphics card and/or your driver if you are concerned about graphics drawing speeds on your Linux. :)
[21:25] <sinan> Where can i find otclsh?
[21:25] <guntbert> enhazed: if we know what they did, we can try, but firts follow MrKennie's advice
[21:25] <MrKennie_> enhazed: er, see if you get any errors when adding the route
[21:25] <nickweb> any idea why when using sudo tasksel install lamp-server  and trying to load php files, i get prompted to download .phtml files?
[21:25] <nickweb> or to download the php files themeselves?
[21:26] <eracc> Qster, I did not see if you said this ... which graphics card + driver are you using now?
[21:26] <jrib> nickweb: does it happen if you make them .php?

[21:35] <favro> zammyking111: it should show some file names?
[21:35] <eracc> Qster, so, the only thing you could do to get better graphics processing is to replace the video card.
[21:35] <Qster> eracc does that mean its an onboard video card?
[21:36] <eracc> Qster, no idea. What system do you have? Is this a custom built "whitebox" system or a Dell or a HP or a .. ?
[21:36] <Qster> eracc it is a gateway
[21:36] <eracc> ...

[21:36] <xerxes1358> Guys what is a good iTunes replacement in Linux?
[21:37] <mn> xerxes1358: If you can find native linux drivers they work better than ndiswrapping drivers.  also, check out http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/joomla/index.php?/component/option,com_openwiki/Itemid,33/id,list/ to see if that driver/card is supported by ndiswrapper and other system things
[21:37] <jrib> nickweb: pastebin: ls -l /etc/apache2/mods*
[21:37] <eracc> Qster, model number?

[21:55] <N`Kr1pt> hi, in the Install applications application, the apply changes button is always disabled, no matter what I do. What could be the cause of this problem?
[21:55] <N`Kr1pt> normally, I always install applications using apt-get

[21:56] <super-6-1> Hello, anyone know about Kppp?
[21:57] <deepfriedsquirre> I'd like to cancel the copying of a partition, but Gparted says 'Copying this partition may cause SEVERE filesystem damage'.
[21:57] <vbman11> does anyone know of any note taking programs or any other apps for tablet computers
[21:57] <jrib> habernet: does right clicking on it give you some options?
[21:57] <jrib> habernet: on the drag bar
[21:57] <deepfriedsquirre> Since it's just a copy, can I cancel it without 'causing SEVERE filesystem damage'?
[21:58] <uncle_> jrib, how?
[21:58] <habernet> jrib no
[21:58] <nandemonai> deepfriedsquirre, what exactly are you trying to do?
[21:58] <StepNjump> jrib, should I reboot or log off before I try to install the .deb package again?
[21:58] <jrib> habernet: be more specific by what you are calling the "windows viewer"
[21:58] <mn> deepfriedsquirre: just to be on the safe side i wouldnt try it
[21:58] <jrib> StepNjump: log out and back in
[21:58] <deepfriedsquirre> Thanks mn

[21:59] <jrib> uncle_: do 'gedit /etc/apt/sources.list' and pastebin all of it

[21:59] <super-6-1> hey jrib, know anyhting about KPPP?
[21:59] <nandemonai> deepfriedsquirre, hmm, I'd assume it's safe to cancel but to be safe I wouldn't considering the message it's giving.
[21:59] <Polarina> I have a issue with sound.  In 7.10 I added this line to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base and it worked: "options snd-hda-intel model=acer" (the model is actually mitac, but acer worked).  Now when I do the same in 8.04, it doesn't work.    If I set the model to "targa-dig" in 8.04, I get very, very low sound on the loudspeakers but the headset plug doesn't work.
[21:59] <Polarina> Can anyone help me with that?
[22:00] <jrib> super-6-1: no idea what kppp is
[22:00] <deepfriedsquirre> nandemonai: I assume I can't mount the partition while it's copying?
[22:00] <deepfriedsquirre> And thanks
[22:00] <mn> jrib: it's a dial-up thing i think
[22:00] <super-6-1> Alright well, i have a PPP setup on ubuntu adn its not taking it as the main internet
[22:00] <axeus> Could I install KDE on Ubuntu through Debian Packages?
[22:00] <nandemonai> deepfriedsquirre, I'd just let it do it's thing without interrupting it.

[22:00] <jrib> !kde > axeus
[22:01] <jrib> uncle_: echo $http_proxy
[22:01] <mn> axeus: why not just sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop?
[22:01] <nandemonai> axeus, sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop should do the trick.
[22:01] <saloomy> Hi Everyone, does anyone have experience disabling tapping on an ALPS touchpad in ubuntu hardy?

[22:08] <jacklake> I'm a conplete newbue
[22:08] <jacklake> newbie
[22:08] <uncle_> jrib, not now I have installed it a long time ago. I never had problem with apt-get in terminal. I'm getting this very 1st time i think its because of unexpected shutdown of system while the update was about to finish
[22:09] <jrib> uncle_: but when did you uninstall it?
[22:09] <rampageoberon> anyone know what can be used to measure power consumption for the PC at any point?
[22:09] <uncle_> sorry i wrote wrong
[22:09] <uncle_> jrib, not now I have un-installed it a long time ago. I never had problem with apt-get in terminal. I'm getting this very 1st time i think its because of unexpected shutdown of system while the update was about to finish
[22:09] <uncle_> correction
[22:09] <nathanielneall> jrib, so i got the repos added
[22:09] <nathanielneall> now do i just go to add remove?
[22:09] <jrib> nathanielneall: good, now in synaptic you should see google earth
[22:10] <jacklake> Hello? please? I'm completly lost??? I've just installed Ubuntu on my notebook and nothing seems to be right... I mean... almost everything
[22:10] <jrib> nathanielneall: it might be there too
[22:10] <jrib> jacklake: ask one question at a time then
[22:10] <jrib> jacklake: actually, did you "verify the integrity of the cd" before installing?
[22:11] <jacklake> OK TKS!!!! - finally someone ;) First, my wi fi doesn't work :( - I don't even know where to start :(
[22:11] <jrib> !wifi > jacklake
[22:11] <jacklake> ok
[22:11] <elio1970> hi
[22:11] <jrib> uncle_: try this: grep http_proxy /etc/*
[22:12] <ferlete> hello
[22:12] <jrib> does anyone know where proxies like tor like to set http_proxy?
[22:12] <jacklake> wifi
[22:12] <uncle_> jrib, can i show you the result in pastebin?
[22:12] <jrib> uncle_: yes please
[22:12] <super-6-1> Anyone Know KPPP
[22:13] <ferlete> alguem fala portugues?
[22:13] <jrib> !pt | ferlete
[22:13] <jacklake> oi eu falo
[22:13] <mn> !kppp
[22:13] <ferlete> valeu
[22:13] <joshuajtl> !character map
[22:13] <uncle_> jrib, http://paste.ubuntu.com/44336/
[22:13] <jacklake> mas não sei absolutamente NADA
[22:13] <super-6-1> Its ppp but only for KDU
[22:13] <super-6-1> !ppp
[22:14] <tritium> uncle_: the most important piece of info for tor is in /usr/share/doc/tor/README.privoxy
[22:14] <habernet> when you start a program (pidgin or rythmbox) it has a little icon in the top left corner of the screen on the panel, I accidently deleted those and how do i get them back? I cannot find it in "add to panel"
[22:15] <tritium> jrib: it doesn't set it.  You have to configure privoxy to use tor, and then configure your browser (or otherwise configure a socks proxy to point to privoxy on port 8118)
[22:15] <uncle_> tritium, i don't have tor installed. bash: /usr/share/doc/tor/README.privoxy: No such file or directory
[22:15] <tin_lizzy> Hi - Anyone suggest an application I could use with my HP Photosmart 2610 - It prints very nice - but would like to use the scanner ? ? ?
[22:15] <jrib> tritium: he has http_proxy set somehow and I have no idea where it's coming from
[22:15] <venger> zammyking1111, are you saying that X fails to start on boot?
[22:15] <tritium> uncle_: then you don't have tor installed
[22:15] <shey> how do you add user accounts if the add user thingy is disabled?
[22:16] <favro> jrib: in .profile apparantly - http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Anonymity_with_Tor_and_Privoxy
[22:16] <tin_lizzy> Good scanner app for HP Printer ? ?
[22:16] <theRealBall> hi how do i check if i got ACPI enabled in the kernel or if it's on default?
[22:16] <Polarina> I have a issue with sound.  In 7.10 I added this line to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base and it worked: "options snd-hda-intel model=acer" (the model is actually mitac, but acer worked).  Now when I do the same in 8.04, it doesn't work.    If I set the model to "targa-dig" in 8.04, I get very, very low sound on the loudspeakers but the headset plug doesn't work.
[22:16] <bobertdos> habernet:: Pidgin should be under the network category and RhthymBox should be under Sound/Video or Multimedia. If not, you can always create your own launchers.
[22:16] <venger> woah, was scrolled back in the chat buffer...
[22:16] <jrib> favro: thanks.  uncle_ can you check ~/.profile
[22:17] <Polarina> tin_lizzy: XSane
[22:17] <tritium> uncle_: are you trying to install tor?
[22:17] <habernet> bobertdos everytime i start pidgin, and close the window, the app closes...but when i had those icons the app would stay running...thats what im getting at
[22:17] <tin_lizzy> Polarina: Thank you!
[22:17] <uncle_> tritium, no lol
[22:17] <Polarina> tin_lizzy: It's shipped by default with Ubuntu.
[22:17] <uncle_> jrib, explain ~/.profile ?
[22:17] <uncle_> jrib, what to do with it?
[22:17] <bobertdos> shey: Disabled? Are you sure it isn't just locked?
[22:17] <jacklake> If I burn a new cd with ubuntu and use it to install at the sabe partiton where this version I'm using (64 bits), it will replace the one I'm?
[22:17] <jrib> uncle_: grep http_proxy ~/.profile
[22:18] <evilGUI> I'm having this issue where I can't pause and resume mkvs and a few other video formats in mplayer if I pause and then press play it just restarts the
[22:18] <evilGUI>  video :/
[22:18] <shey> bobertdos: I got it, thanks for your responce.
[22:18] <uncle_> jrib, i did.
[22:18] <jrib> tritium: his computer lost power during an update.  Tried to run 'sudo apt-get update', but it was trying to connect to localhost
[22:18] <jrib> uncle_: nothing?
[22:18] <tritium> jrib: ah
[22:18] <theRealBall> would ACPI be on at the same time APM is on? or is it one or the other?
[22:18] <tin_lizzy> Polarina: Ah I found it under Graphics folder - Cheezzz what newbie here - ha ha
[22:18] <Guest89568> #ubuntu-tr
[22:18] <uncle_> jrib, nothing.
[22:18] <favro> jrib: maybe /etc/privoxy/config
[22:19] <jrib> uncle_: try what favro said
[22:19] <uncle_> jrib, possibly it might be coming from fire-fox but there is nothing.
[22:19] <uncle_> jrib, i didn't noticed what favro  said.
[22:19] <favro> uncle_: look in /etc/privoxy/config
[22:19] <gokturk_> slm
[22:19] <tritium> I doubt he has privoxy installed if he doesn't have tor installed.  Further, privoxy doesn't set $http_proxy

[22:21] <jacklake> oooo thanks... so, it SHOULD solve most of my problems???
[22:21] <histo> okay what happened to the wiki?
[22:21] <histo> wiki.ubuntu.com is down
[22:21] <tritium> uncle_: you didn't configure anything in System -> Preferences -> Network Proxy, did you?
[22:21] <histo> help.ubuntu.com is down
[22:21] <jrib> jacklake: if wifi didn't work the first time you installed, it isn't going to work the second time either probably.  Did you read the wifi docs ubottu gave you?
[22:22] <uncle_> jrib, should i paste bin?
[22:22] <jrib> histo: not for me
[22:22] <uncle_> tritium, nope i didn't
[22:22] <jrib> uncle_: sure
[22:22] <grendelson> I recently did an upgrade to ubuntu on my laptop - after the upgrade my PCMCIA NIC is ignored.  It's as if it doesn't exist - it was working at the start of the upgrade it's how I did the upgrade)
[22:22] <grendelson> Where should I look for answers? Is PCMICA a known issue when upgrading?
[22:22] <tritium> grendelson: no
[22:22] <grendelson> Did I leave a package out?
[22:22] <bobertdos> histo: They're fine for me too. Maybe you're having a network problem.

[22:25] <uncle_> jrib, i did.
[22:25] <xerxes1358> mn, still no luck :(
[22:26] <tritium> uncle_: did you add that to your .bashrc after reading the gentoo wiki?
[22:26] <xerxes1358> mn, can you help me to activate my wifi ?

[22:30] <uncle_> jrib, http://paste.ubuntu.com/44340/
[22:31] <nathanielneall> jrib, whats a command to run it in a shell?
[22:31] <tarelerulz_> My system is acting up on me and I am wanting to do a fresh install.  How would I configure the next system so I would not lose stuff like all the movies I have download over the years.
[22:31] <Polarina> When resuming from a suspend, the computer asks me for my password.  How can I make it so it won't ask me for a password?
[22:31] <jrib> nathanielneall: try google<TAB>
[22:32] <tritium> tarelerulz_: please don't discuss the download of copyrighted material here
[22:32] <jrib> uncle_: now sudo apt-get upgrade
[22:32] <bobertdos> tarelerulz_: One of the best things to do is to make a separate partition for /home
[22:32] <nandemonai> tarelerulz_, keep your data on a separate partition or better yet keep /home on a separate partition.
[22:32] <nada> where is the dictionary?
[22:32] <uncle_> jrib, it will install new updates including linux new kernel
[22:33] <nathanielneall> jrib, it came up with sitemapgen
[22:33] <jrib> nathanielneall: what?
[22:33] <jrib> uncle_: k
[22:33] <nada> I want to grep the dictionary but am not sure where it is...
[22:33] <tarelerulz_> Well, Ubuntu let you make  home partition say 50 gb  and say the rest of the stuff on its own partition  etc, bin, usr, and and so on
[22:34] <nathanielneall> ﻿jrib, when i put in  google and tab filled in "sitemapgen"
[22:34] <uncle_> jrib, anyways what to do? can i show you screen shot of my system
[22:34] <jrib> nathanielneall: heh, ok hold on
[22:34] <user01> how do i toggle between  my computer and other computer with vncviewer -fullscreen?
[22:34] <jrib> user01: ok, why though?
[22:35] <jrib> nathanielneall: did you agree to the google earth license btw?
[22:35] <user01> jrib, because i was getting messages on my messenger and couldnt figure out to get out
[22:35] <nathanielneall> ﻿jrib, it never opened
[22:35] <user01> jrib, so i rebooted the other computer
[22:35] <tarelerulz_> How , must space does Ubuntu need to the os files ?
[22:36] <jrib> uncle_: ok why though?
[22:36] <jrib> user01: sorry :)
[22:36] <tj83> tarelerulz_, approx 4GB  leaving not much left.
[22:36] <jrib> nathanielneall: run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' in a shell
[22:36] <uncle_> jrib, i don't like the theme, i like the old one. but its changed now after the updates.
[22:37] <nada> anyone know a location for a file that contains all of the words accepted by the gnome dictionary?
[22:37] <jrib> uncle_: so apt-get upgrade completed successfully?
[22:37] <nathanielneall> ﻿jrib, what means "in a shell" as a terminal command?
[22:37] <user01> jrib, it would seem practical if i am logging in to the other computer to run the desktop, i would want to also be able to toggle back to the computer i am actually using
[22:37] <jacklake> I'm back... and... the cd is right... I think it's some trouble with the distro (ubuntu 8.4.1 64 bits)
[22:37] <jrib> user01: yeah makes sense, I don't use vncviewer much though
[22:37] <uncle_> jrib, i can do without problem but don't have modem drivers for the latest kernels
[22:38] <jrib> jacklake: yes, then you need to read the docs I sent you earlier to get wifi working (or try a different distro)
[22:38] <jrib> uncle_: well you can still boot your old kernel
[22:38] <nathanielneall> jrib, i got this error: dpkg: status database area is locked by another process
[22:38] <uncle_> jrib, so should i upgrade to new kernel and then how i will be able to boot from my old kernel
[22:39] <tritium> nada: look under /usr/share/dict/
[22:39] <jacklake> for exemple - at the documentation of help, it tell me to go system>Preferencies>Hardware info - I dont have this Hardware something option :(
[22:39] <jrib> uncle_: this is just a regular upgrade right?  Not to a new version of ubuntu?
[22:39] <jrib> nathanielneall: close add/remove or synaptic
[22:40] <uncle_> jrib, i know but after installing updates of kernel, I know my driver won't work with the latest.
[22:40] <jacklake> the path is - System>Preferencies>hardware something (I can't quite remember) but there's nothing even close to it :(
[22:40] <jrib> uncle_: do you understand my question?
[22:40] <nathanielneall> jrib, i got that yeah, so i ran sudo dpkg configur a, then what happens?
[22:40] <erUSUL> jacklake: some docs are outdated :(
[22:40] <jrib> nathanielneall: did it give you anything?
[22:41] <nathanielneall> just opened another command line as if i hadnt put anything in
[22:41] <jacklake> if it's outdates... what should I do? Can I change the language of my ubuntu witout re-intalling it?
[22:41] <Boglizk> How do i install truetype fonts in Ubuntu? (not msttcorefonts, another one)
[22:41] <jacklake> or there's some path trough that terminal stuff?
[22:41] <uncle_> jrib, please explain
[22:41] <nada> tritium, what kind of thing is words?  and ls sends back red with a grey box.  never seen that before...
[22:42] <nada> is that a dictionary I can grep?
[22:42] <tritium> nada: what do you mean?
[22:42] <jrib> nathanielneall: ok, purge all the googleearth packages and install it again in a shell
[22:42] <adante> hi, ohw can i tell what version of the nvidia driver i am using? it was built from source and not packages
[22:42] <jrib> uncle_: what version of ubuntu are you using now?
[22:42] <nada> tritium, I'm wondering what kind of file 'words' is
[22:42] <nathanielneall> jrib, what do you mean by in a shell
[22:42] <jrib> nathanielneall: terminal
[22:43] <qr> how do I properly change a computer's hostname?
[22:43] <jrib> nathanielneall: sudo apt-get purge googleearth googleearth-4.2 googleearth-4.2-data\
[22:43] <jrib> !hostname | qr
[22:43] <uncle_> jrib, hardy heron
[22:43] <jrib> uncle_: and before you upgraded?
[22:43] <nathanielneall> jrib, does it matter that im running 4.3
[22:43] <jacklake> and why the internet conection icon keeps looking like I'm not conected???
[22:43] <tritium> nada: "words" is a symbolic link to /etc/dictionaries-common/words, which symlinks back to /usr/share/dict/american-english (or your locale's dict)
[22:44] <tritium> nada: so, yes, it it greppable
[22:44] <jrib> nathanielneall: yeah :)  update accordingly
[22:44] <roz_roz> help with camera...
[22:44] <spiritssight1> which is better to use dd-wrt or hyperwrt
[22:44] <uncle_> jrib, http://www.speedyshare.com/523920894.html
[22:44] <xerxes1358> Can someone help me out with my WIFI driver ?
[22:45] <Wild_Rover> xerxes1358: What driver?
[22:45] <tj83> xerxes1358, try to provide as much information as possible when asking for help :)
[22:45] <jrib> uncle_: let's do one thing at a time
[22:45] <uncle_> jrib, sure.

[22:46] <jrib> uncle_: were you already using hardy heron before you upgraded?
[22:46] <uncle_> jrib, already using hardy heron
[22:46] <xerxes1358> tj83, Wild_Rover I am trying to get my laptop Realtek driver to work but now my terminal is hanging and I cant kill anything
[22:46] <uncle_> jrib, its 1st time i hit updates "grin"
[22:46] <tj83> xerxes1358, what is the chipset? run lspci and lsusb to determine
[22:47] <xerxes1358> tj83, I just told you :) I cant access xterm anymore It wont give the command back
[22:47] <xerxes1358> even CTRL+C
[22:47] <jacklake> hello?
[22:47] <jrib> uncle_: heh.  Alright, so 'apt-get upgrade' from before gave no errors right?
[22:47] <xerxes1358> jacklake, hi
[22:47] <nathanielneall> jrib, ok so i completely remove google earth now what do i install from synaptic? theres google earth-4.3 google earth 4.3 data and google earth package
[22:47] <Andril> hello all

[22:48] <interflop> I'm running Ubuntu 8.04 on an HP L2000 and Suspend only works half of the time.  Is there anything I can do to fix this?
[22:48] <tj83> xerxes1358, use Alt+F5 to get a tty and then Alt+F7 to return back
[22:48] <Gnea> !ask | jacklake
[22:48] <uncle_> jrib, it won't :P but my modem drivers will not work because i know they are not comptaible with the new kernel version
[22:48] <tj83> xerxes1358, sorry ctrl+alt+F5 and 7

[22:49] <jrib> uncle_: that's ok, you can still choose the old kernel from the grub menu when you boot up
[22:49] <jacklake> I need to make my wifi stuff works and my sound
[22:49] <uncle_> jrib, cool, why not now i hit upgrade lol
[22:49] <tj83> xerxes1358, I will try to help... please /join #seaphor

[22:50] <jrib> nathanielneall: the medibuntu wiki page tells you how to setup their gpg key

[22:50] <jrib> nathanielneall: I guess
[22:50] <interflop> I'm running Ubuntu 8.04 on an HP L2000 and Suspend only works half of the time.  Is there anything I can do to fix this?
[22:52] <Gnea> JackWinter: well, one thing at a time :)  let's start with sound.
[22:52] <Gnea> oops
[22:52] <nandemonai> Does anyone know if it's possible to enable 3D support on ubuntu under VMware?
[22:52] <uncle_> jrib, did you saw the screen shot?
[22:52] <zhaozhou> nandemonai, no, its not
[22:53] <interflop> i don't think VMware supports 3D acceleration
[22:53] <JackWinter> Gnea: didn't know i was typing here :)
[22:53] <jrib> uncle_: yep, we'll check that out after sudo apt-get upgrade.  did it finish?
[22:53] <Gnea> JackWinter: mis-type - someone named jacklake was here but left too soon
[22:53] <nandemonai> zhaozhou, ah okies, I assumed not. Just thought I'd ask ;)
[22:53] <JackWinter> Gnea: :)
[22:53] <furqon> Pejuang_Tangguh
[22:54] <uncle_> jrib, it will look fine after the upgrade? and it will be back on human theme?
[22:54] <xerxes1358> tj83, he
[22:54] <jrib> uncle_: I don't know
[22:54] <xerxes1358> tj83, what was the channel again

[22:54] <c0mp13371331337> Any *buntu users with a Kodak ESP-3 printer out there?
[22:54] <uncle_> jrib, hows your ubuntu outlook its the same as i got?
[22:55] <jrib> uncle_: nope
[22:55] <Gnea> c0mp13371331337: there could be. what's the problem?
[22:55] <uncle_> jrib,  i mean the theme.
[22:55] <jrib> uncle_: the default is still the same, yes
[22:56] <uncle_> jrib, then why mine got change in updates lol
[22:57] <uncle_> jrib, how to switch back?
[22:57] <c0mp13371331337> Gnea: No drivers specifically for it in the printer wizard, and the omnipotent Google is of little help.  Just wondering if anyone has had any luck getting it to work in linux without the use of virtualization.
[22:57] <jrib> uncle_: did the updates finish?
[22:57] <uncle_> jrib, no I'm on dial up it will take longer to finish
[22:57] <jrib> uncle_: oh...
[22:58] <jrib> uncle_: well you should wait until they finish.  Something is not loading right at the moment.  That's why your screen looks weird
[22:59] <uncle_> jrib, Oki

[23:02] <Error4o4> dmraid question, i have 2 non-system disks that are in mirroring on the  Gigabyte motherboard's "hardware" raid. Ubuntu sees the disks as seperate. I installed dmraid but still same. see here  ﻿http://pastebin.com/m48916dc4
[23:02] <Swish> Error4o4, motherboard-based "hardware" raid isn't really done in hardware, you know.
[23:02] <Swish> the RAID part is done in drivers/software
[23:03] <Swish> so it makes sense that your drives are seen separately by ubuntu
[23:03] <Adelain> Hi
[23:03] <Adelain> Bonjour
[23:03] <cable23000> how do you setup gnump3d
[23:04] <Error4o4> Swish: yuo see how dm raid created several  devices there, somethings wrong, no idea how to get that to work
[23:04] <jacklake> I don't have any sound than beep :(
[23:04] <jacklake> Or, better - my sound card doesn't work
[23:05] <sepp> zeas
[23:05] <eviking5> can I remove icons from the ume-launcher in netbook remix?

[23:05] <Gnea> c0mp13371331337: wow... that's a rare one
[23:06] <super-6-1> Anyone know about KPPP
[23:06] <jacklake> So, does anyone knows how to make
[23:06] <sepp> wow ... first time linux and i'm fascinated x)
[23:06] <jacklake> well... see you later guys
[23:07] <izinucs> sepp, it gets better
[23:07] <sepp> ^
[23:07] <super-6-1> sepp, most haking OS are built on Linux :P
[23:07] <sepp> x)
[23:07] <sepp> i know
[23:07] <nathanielneall> jrib, thanks for your help i got it to run 4.2 do you know how i can update? their suggustion is to download a bin file
[23:08] <sepp> ^
[23:08] <sepp> can i ask you some things about "how to install" and some thing else
[23:08] <c0mp13371331337> Gnea: Yeah.... My wife just bought one, and we are a Windoze-free household.  She opted for the Kodak because of their GREAT prices on ink, but neglected to check on their linux support, which happens to be virtually non-existent.  I suppose I'll have to convince her to go with virtualization for now.
[23:08] <uncle_> jrib,  The configuration defaults for GNOME power manager is not installed correctly
[23:08] <super-6-1> sepp, Sypth package manager or add/remove
[23:09] <izinucs> sepp, that is.. synaptic package manager under System/Admin
[23:09] <phantomcircuit> is there an IDE that has something like visualstudio's intellisense?
[23:09] <tarelerulz_> In windows you can just over write the os files and keep everything ?  Can you do that with Ubuntu or any other distro
[23:09] <Gnea> c0mp13371331337: have you tried using one of the other kodak drivers?
[23:09] <jrib> nathanielneall: hmm, well you can use the bin but then it's not managed by APT.  to use the bin you should remove this one and just run ./name_of_bin in the directory where the bin is.  You may have to give the file executable permissions first
[23:09] <jrib> uncle_: error?
[23:09] <KenBW22> is there a command i can use to add a string of text to the end of a file?
[23:10] <jrib> KenBW22: echo foobar >> file
[23:10] <nathanielneall> jrib, how do i give executable permission?
[23:10] <c0mp13371331337> Gnea: Not yet, I wanted to see if there were any known solutions out there before wasting ink on test pages with incorrect drivers.  I suppose I'll give that a shot before VirtualBox.  Thanks!
[23:10] <jrib> nathanielneall: right click -> properties
[23:10] <uncle_> jrib, this is the popup message when i open upgrade manager
[23:10] <Gnea> c0mp13371331337: good luck :)

For one, it only works sometimes, usually only for one or two flash things before I need to restart firefox to get it to load any more. On others, it doesn't refresh the page, like in the yahoo gamechannel and stattracer apps. Any ideas?
[23:13] <qmemo> ok
[23:13] <jrib> uncle_: :/ you were supposed to use the command I gave.  is it done upgrading or still going?
[23:13] <geodome> chrome ubuntu!
[23:13] <izinucs> wng-, which flash plugin are you using.
[23:13] <wng-> flashplugin-nonfree

[23:14] <zammyking111> hey guys
[23:14] <zammyking111> i got a question
[23:14] <zammyking111> i finally got my linux working with the desktop and etc
[23:14] <emorris> hi, i have an internal (embedded) soundcard and an external one, which has been picked up as hw:1. Is there any way to force the internal (hw:0) to be disabled to force stuff to use hw:1?
[23:14] <wng-> izinucs: fresh install of 8.04 amd64
[23:14] <jrib> zammyking111: don't use enter to break up your thoughts as it makes it harder to follow what you are saying
[23:14] <zammyking111> but how do i find out how big my moniter is?
[23:14] <mmanning> Anyone know what command can i use to do the same as update-modules?
[23:14] <zammyking111> k
[23:14] <nathanielneall> jrib, i do not know how, ive never used linux before last night
[23:14] <izinucs> wng-, are you using the 64 bit version?
[23:14] <zammyking111> how do i find out how big my moniter is?
[23:14] <jerome_> hey
[23:14] <uncle_> jrib, still going
[23:14] <jrib> !medibuntu > nathanielneall
[23:14] <izinucs> wng-, of ubuntu
[23:14] <wng-> izinucs: yes
[23:15] <uncle_> jrib, 4 hours and 26 mins
[23:15] <jrib> nathanielneall: it should be on the wiki page.  Let me know if it is not
[23:15] <jerome_> how do i get a list of channels?
[23:15] <mn> zammyking111: why do you need to find this out?
[23:15] <Sn007ake> Please sir's I forget the command for a file that is unauthorized to install?
[23:15] <antonio_router> new version wine 1.0.4
[23:15] <emorris> zammyking111: you mean resolution or physical size?#
[23:15] <uncle_> jrib, you can expect 4 to 5 kb downloading speed in a village
[23:15] <uncle_> ;)
[23:15] <erUSUL> jerome_: /list
[23:15] <zammyking111> like 1024 x something
[23:16] <izinucs> wng-, then I'll leave this for those in the know.. flash use to be pretty horrible to get working in 64bit but that might have changed.. Ask again but mention flash on64 bit and see if someone else will take up the mantle.
[23:16] <jerome_> thx
[23:16] <phantomcircuit> is there an IDE that has something like visualstudio's intellisense?
[23:16] <mn> zammyking111: that's resolution that's different then size
[23:16] <zammyking111> ok because the screen for like Fire Fox is too big

[23:19] <nathanielneall> jrib, i dont see it on the wikipage
[23:19] <uncle_> jrib, haha yeah, when my computer got shutdown unexpectedly i did fsck
[23:19] <emorris> KenBW22: you would have to do vnc through ssh or something. You could also use ssh -X <server>, then run gnome-panel if you wanted the panel for example
[23:19] <Sn007ake> I tried to install A file and the permision is denied........ I forget the command i need to type in after the ./
[23:20] <jrib> uncle_: good, then I'm sure this will get sorted.  Might need to use the hammer here and there though
[23:20] <emorris> phantomcircuit: how?/which one?
[23:20] <izinucs> Sn007ake, how 'bout "sudo" before ./ ?
[23:20] <KenBW22> emorris: so any app that i ran from the gnome-panel would load at the other end?
[23:20] <uncle_> jrib, haha, if it won't i will move back to windows.
[23:20] <phantomcircuit> emorris, it depends on the device you wish to disable
[23:21] <nathanielneall> jrib, its not on the wiki page
[23:21] <jrib> nathanielneall: you're on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu?  search for "GPG Key" on the page
[23:21] <jrib> nathanielneall: second hit
[23:21] <emorris> KenBW22: well the actual program would load on the server, yes, but only you would see the GUI
[23:22] <KenBW22> emorris: yea thats what i meant
[23:22] <KenBW22> emorris: thanks
[23:22] <emorris> phantomcircuit: sorry, yeah, i meant how would i find this out? it is an embedded sound card
[23:22] <phantomcircuit> well
[23:22] <p_m_v> anyone else have to frequently clear their DNS cache by restarting nscd and/or clearing private data in FFox 3, specifically with yahoo-owned hosts?
[23:22] <phantomcircuit> lsmod will list all the kernel modules
[23:22] <phantomcircuit> and the sound drivers have snd in their names
[23:22] <emorris> KenBW22: remember linux is case sensitive - use a capital X
[23:22] <phantomcircuit> so lsmod|grep snd
[23:22] <phantomcircuit> and figure otu which is the correct one
[23:23] <nathanielneall> jrib, i already used that to get the repository list for medibuntu
[23:23] <nathanielneall> do it again?
[23:23] <jrib> nathanielneall: you ran 'sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install medibuntu-keyring && sudo apt-get update' ?
[23:23] <Sn007ake> izinucus  i just tried it  sudo ./filename  and it says invalid command
[23:23] <KenBW22> emorris: indeed
[23:23] <emorris> phantomcircuit: ok, thanks, that should get me started
[23:23] <nathanielneall> no, the one ending in list
[23:24] <nathanielneall> jrib, ok i found that
[23:25] <Sn007ake> Somoen told me a command to use before the ./  if it ever said permision denyd   ./ ?? then file name  then go back and ./filename
[23:25] <nathanielneall> but i get the same error on the first code
[23:25] <enhazed> hello again :)
[23:25] <eubey> for some reason there is nothing in my /etc/xorg/xorg.conf about the wacom pen for my tablet pc, would it severly mess stuff up if i copied and pasted that stuff into my xorg to try and get functionality of the tablet pen?
[23:26] <enhazed> i was wondering if i could get some help with updating my drivers in ubuntu. i think it would solve a few glitches - especially visual. but i haven't been able to figure out how to do that by reading the help forums... grateful for any help, thanks
[23:26] <nathanielneall> jrib, thanks it seems to have worked
[23:26] <zammyking112> my screen resolution wont change because of the frequency anyone know why?

[23:30] <zammyking112> it says on xp
[23:30] <zammyking112> 640 x 480
[23:30] <emorris> phantomcircuit: ok, cheers, and i can just stick this in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist?
[23:30] <nathanielneall> jrib, it still didnt update anything i can do?
[23:31] <asparatu> ok i will try that..
[23:31] <nathanielneall> i have a bin file that im having trouble opening
[23:31] <asparatu> thank you..
[23:31] <Arnell> Do BIOS settings have anything to do with my problem installing Ubuntu? I've tried a lot of solutions and install still hangs up at BusyBox (initramfs) propmt.
[23:31] <phantomcircuit> emorris, yes
[23:31] <tj83> zammyking112,  you should look into the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[23:31] <emorris> awesome

[23:34] <D1sa5t3r> no habla
[23:34] <D1sa5t3r> :D
[23:34] <TheMaxzilla> Is there a command to increase the number of desktops in Ubuntu? Because it won't let me add more on CompizConfig Settings manager.....
[23:34] <tj83> enhazed, what kind of issues are you experiencing might be better to look into the reason
[23:34] <slamFIST> you need more than 4?
[23:34] <nathanielneall> can anyone help me with burning cds?
[23:34] <D1sa5t3r> if there r any finnish arseholes inda hood pm me?
[23:34] <Walex> Arnell: we are sorry, but our psychic advisors are all busy on other astral planes.
[23:34] <nathanielneall> my cdrw doesnt show up on the dribe
[23:34] <nathanielneall> drive**
[23:34] <Arnell> lol...thanks
[23:35] <firefly2442> Is there a way to force a refresh rate? http://paste.ubuntu.com/44354/
[23:35] <Walex> Arnell: perhaps a little mode detail?
[23:35] <nathanielneall> when i try to create a cd it tells me to insert one
[23:35] <D1sa5t3r> ePax, can u help me?
[23:35] <axeus> Ok, I just apt-get installed KDE. Do I have to disable Gnome through it's init script and enable KDE through init script?
[23:35] <D1sa5t3r> KDE :S
[23:35] <D1sa5t3r> holy crap...
[23:35] <firefly2442> I'm getting 60 Hz but in the preferences it says 72
[23:35] <enhazed> well, the "bouncy" graphical interface works, but each window leaves traces on the screen - that disappear when i move my mouse over them.  and the display is generally fuzzy (worse than in windows) although the resolution and refresh rate are set right
[23:35] <izinucs> axeus, on the login screen choose session and change to kde
[23:36] <axeus> izinucs: Thanks.
[23:36] <tj83> enhazed, what vid card?
[23:37] <Arnell> Install continues to hang at Busybox (initramfs) prompt. Any ideas?
[23:37] <enhazed> it's an onboard intel video card but i don't know the exact name because i can't seem to find any system information tool
[23:38] <enhazed> sorry, i'm a real newbie
[23:38] <D1sa5t3r> heeeeelp me...
[23:38] <erUSUL> enhazed: lspci | grep -i vga
[23:38] <tabakhase> Hu there
[23:38] <tabakhase> ata1: port is slow to respond, please be patient (Status 0xd0) - ata1: device not ready (errno=-16), forcing hardreset - ata1: soft resetting link - ata1.00: configured for UDMA/33 -> 100% I/O Wait and lags, lags and more lags =(
[23:39] <tabakhase> (from syslog)
[23:39] <kindofabuzz> !framebuffer
[23:39] <Arnell> Been trying to install for three days now with no luck. Can anyone help me?
[23:39] <tabakhase> Old Notebook (Compaq Evo N600c) but newer HDD
[23:39] <texer> Arnell: any error messages?
[23:39] <Arnell> nope
[23:39] <tabakhase> Special: it was working fine before abozt a week
[23:40] <Arnell> just hangs at BusyBox
[23:40] <erUSUL> Arnell: maybe you should try with the alternatecd ? or with gutdy and then upgrade to hardy... hardy install kernel does not love your machine
[23:40] <Gnea> tabakhase: ick. tried rerouting interrupts?
[23:40] <enhazed> erUSUL:  thank you, it worked
[23:40] <Arnell> K I'll try that
[23:40] <loop_> ive got a delta 1010, my audio is playing slow, what's the fix?  I ran into this a while back and forgot what the solution was, i think it was something in my alsa.conf
[23:40] <texer> checked your burned cds?
[23:40] <enhazed> i don't suppose there's some tool that might just look for updates for my hardware, is there? will i have to search for each one separately and install it?
[23:40] <Arnell> I'm one of the few unlucky huh?
[23:40] <Gnea> tabakhase: or could be a faulty hdd cable.
[23:40] <tj83> enhazed, what worked from erUSUL ? the command he gave was to get the card info?
[23:40] <tabakhase> Gnea: think its a kernel problem...
[23:41] <erUSUL> Arnell: so it seems yep
[23:41] <D1sa5t3r> WINDOWS <3
[23:41] <erUSUL> tj83: yep to get the card model and name
[23:41] <SlimeyPete> enhazed: the hardware tool in System -> Administration does something like that.
[23:41] <Gnea> tabakhase: uhm, it's a kernel message telling you about a problem it's having with the hardware - it could be. try booting with the pci=routeirq option
[23:41] <SlimeyPete> it doesn't necessarily pick up everything though
[23:41] <tabakhase> Gnea: Im shure its the Kernel, now using "2.6.24-19-386"
[23:41] <tabakhase> before there was 2.6.15 or so
[23:42] <erUSUL> tabakhase: why 386 and not generic?? 86 is for really old machines...
[23:42] <Gnea> tabakhase: yeah - it won't matter what kernel it is if data isn't being shifted correctly
[23:42] <Arnell> thanks guys. I'll try Gutsy and upgrade to Hardy.
[23:42] <tabakhase> erUSUL: right
[23:42] <ZeetreX> hello
[23:42] <tabakhase> Compaq Evo N600c
[23:42] <ZeetreX> anybody from Iran?
[23:42] <erUSUL> tabakhase: right? generic does not work on your machine
[23:42] <tabakhase> 1,2 Ghz P3 Mobile, 265MB Ram (32 shared for graphic)
[23:43] <erUSUL> ?
[23:43] <erUSUL> !ir
[23:43] <enhazed> SlimeyPete: the only hardware-related tool in system - administration is "hardware drivers" and that just opens an empty window that says "no proprietary drivers are in use on your system"
[23:43] <ZeetreX> tnx erUSUL, but they're asleep :D
[23:43] <Gnea> lol
[23:43] <tj83> enhazed, did you ever share the card info with us? i must have missed it.
[23:43] <erUSUL> ZeetreX: ;)
[23:43] <ZeetreX> wanna get DVD of repositories from someone
[23:44] <zammyking112> anyone know how i can find my graphics card?
[23:44] <tabakhase> first i start irc on my other maschine, wait a second..
[23:44] <Gnea> ZeetreX: we're prmarily english-speaking in here, but might be able to help anyway
[23:44] <enhazed> tj83: no, sorry, i thought i'd just look for it myself... it's Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03) - any help finding a driver much appreciated :)
[23:44] <Gnea> ZeetreX: dvd images, you mean?
[23:44] <erUSUL> enhazed: driver for that hardware is included with ubuntu
[23:44] <tj83> enhazed, did you enable the restricted driver?
[23:44] <SlimeyPete> enhazed: ah. That's what I meant. It'll generally pick up hardware for which you can install "official" drivers. Otherwise, there's nothing which will do anything like that AFAIK.
[23:45] <ZeetreX> Gnea, i've dialup connection, can't download images. i want the downloaded images :)
[23:45] <Jordan_U> ZeetreX: I think that shipit sends DVDs to Iran ( not free like the CD's though ) which contain all of main
[23:45] <enhazed> tj83: there's no restricted driver to enable, the "hardware drivers" window is empty...
[23:45] <erUSUL> !info xserver-xorg-video-intel | enhazed
[23:45] <Gnea> ZeetreX: aaah okay
[23:45] <zammyking112> anyone know how to install or find my graphic card
[23:45] <erUSUL> zammyking112: which one
[23:45] <ZeetreX> Jordan_U, i've the main dvd
[23:46] <nathanielneall> texer, the cdrw im using currently just has 2 songs on it so computer thinks its an audio cd but i want to erase those songs
[23:46] <zammyking112> what u mean which one
[23:46] <Jordan_U> zammyking112: lspci | grep VGA
[23:46] <zammyking112> huh?
[23:46] <enhazed> ok, so the bottom line is i probably have the latest available driver allready installed? :)
[23:46] <Gnea> ZeetreX: does iran offer broadband?
[23:46] <SlimeyPete> enhazed: probably, yes.
[23:46] <erUSUL> enhazed: maybe not the lastest but the one supported and probed to work in ubuntu
[23:47] <ZeetreX> Gnea, 128k for home users
[23:47] <izinucs> enhazed, you can check for the propiatory drive in your xorg.conf.. gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf... look for the driver line.. if it says nv or vesa you might try changing it to intel
[23:47] <tabakhase_> so
[23:47] <tj83> enhazed, perhaps you should check the /etc/X11/xorg.conf to see what driver is being loaded
[23:47] <Gnea> ZeetreX: yikes. :/
[23:47] <tabakhase_> now lets give a try, Gnea what mode? could i add this in grub menue while booting?
[23:47]  * tj83 was a bit late
[23:47] <enhazed> tj83: i don't know how to do that, sorry
[23:48] <izinucs> enhazed,  look for my last message above to you
[23:48] <erUSUL> enhazed: probably you are already using the right driver. just in case run "gksudo displayconfig-gtk"
[23:48] <zammyking112> how can i install my graphics card
[23:48] <tj83> enhazed sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak
[23:48] <tj83> enhazed, that makes a back up first
[23:48] <enhazed> ok, will do that
[23:48] <Gnea> tabakhase_: yeah, just append it to your kernel line... where it would say:  quiet splash, make it say:  quiet splash pci=routeirq
[23:48] <tj83> enhazed, then gksu gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[23:48] <ZeetreX> Gnea, it's hard to live without broadband :D
[23:48] <tabakhase_> Gnea but i can do this in the bootmenue or?
[23:49] <enhazed> tj83: ok, the file opened
[23:49] <erUSUL> zammyking112: which graphic card do you have?
[23:49] <enhazed> now i need to locate the driver line..?
[23:49] <Gnea> tabakhase_: sure, you can do it when it first boots up or you can edit menu.lst
[23:49] <tj83>  driver "something" what is it?
[23:49] <tj83> enhazed, under configured video device
[23:50] <DrVali> does anyone have problems with card-readers resetting themselves continually in ubuntu?
[23:50] <tabakhase_> i boot up, other way will take about a hour in case of this lags =(
[23:50] <DrVali> I get the same problem on my laptop and my desktop.  THe hardware had no problems with Mac OS X
[23:50] <Gnea> ZeetreX: so basically, you're looking for someone to ship some dvds to you? :)
