perilluxRummandinho: do you use the default settings?00:00
Gneaaudacity++00:00
RummandinhoNah i just now use Sony Sound Forge00:00
Rummandinho:)00:00
DrValisteven_, do ls --help00:00
perilluxRummandinho: because I get HORRIBLE quality with the defaults.00:00
DrValiread the commands, and see if you can get ls to give you the output you want.00:00
RummandinhoAudacity is a good alternative but it really messes up if you have the W32.pate.b virus.00:00
mnWhat does it mean when I'm getting Hits while apt-get updating?00:00
DrValiwhen you do, just repeat the command with the "> /home...." part and you'll have your answer.00:00

zcat[1]gaintsura, wrap the command inside a bash script and run that? That usually works out more reliablethan launching a long comand with multiple parameters from in session00:22

nkei0Well, I'm not sure but one of the windows .dll files messed up and almost none of the drivers are working (cd/modems/lan/etc) and it also won't identify as windows so, I tried using my usb stick to transfer the iso and then using daemon tools to mount, but it won't let me.  I then just extracted the iso to the usb stick and tried installing from there and it asked me to connect to the...03:09
nkei0...internet during install and i can't03:09

TaoTeShaunI was wondering if anyone knows of ways to speed up the internet. i have a dual boot and guessing that something is not working correctly since i get 4-4.5 mbps in windows but only about 300kbps in ubuntu. also, when pinging yahoo.com XP takes about 80ms where Ubuntu is taking 500-1600ms03:10
nkei0I've googled around and found the program unetbootin, but i'm wondering if i'll still need to connect to the internet during install.03:10
D1sa5t3rnkei0, replace the .dll03:10

broken1Taterade: my system was unstable with .21, so I thought it was the nvidia driver at frist, I uninstalled the nvidia drivers, and rolled back the kernel, and lost sound and wifi. NO wifi firmware will load, no matter the card. These wifi firmwares are in the kernel  blobs. My system worked out of the box.03:55

perilluxwhen using audacity and recording at 96000Hz every once in a while the sound skips when I play it back.  It sounds great and then it suddenly jumps forward about half a second like there's a hole in the recording.  Also, this isn't random, it happens regularly about every 30 seconds.03:56

danbhfivehitman1985: im not sure what you are trying to do, but ls and tar both work on folders.  ls will list the filenames of the folder contents, and tar has the ability to turn them into a single file05:28

voraistosHi, I have a question from noob land regarding encryption... I'm not judging the quality of the cipher one could use, but the "password". example: i boot my PC, it asks me about the luks passphrase, which is 20 letters long and made out of any possible character my keyboard can do... This seems fairly weak. I mean a bruteforce attack could find my passphrase rather fast, dont you think ? Thus making any super high grade encryption05:53

donnygreetings all. i have some questions about 802.11 device support. i've got a Linksys WUSB54G here, and I've built and installed the rt2500 module using module-assistant. i also have wireless-tools installed (apparently; the iwconfig command is available) but when i plug in my WUSB54G, although its lights turn on and dmesg shows some infos about a USB device, i have no new networking interfaces named /dev/ethN. can anyone help?06:18
therockst4r /msg ubottu etiquette06:19
Dfcnvtdonny, perhap you're looking at the wrong interface.. maybe it's ath0 interface?06:20
tj83donny, what reason do you have to believe that the interface is "ethN" ? that is not typical.. more like "wlan0" or similar, but i dont know about your adapter06:21
hmlwhta's a good tool for keeping all your emails local / writing them locally, and having them be automatically sent whenever you connect to a network06:21

Daisuke_Idodonny even06:21
amt2hi, my ethernet connection is not working; the little lights in the port don't blink so i think it's not even being recognized. I'm in a Toshiba P305-S8842. Any help would be appreciated.06:21
donnyDfcnvt, i will check for "/dev/ath*" tj83: in my past experience, it was eth1 after my wired nic eth0 (it was wlan0 on mac os x 10.3 though)06:22
donnyDaisuke_Ido, i'll check all of those. still i assumed the iwconfig command would know which devices to examine06:22
Dfcnvtdonny, it's not on /dev directory.. only iwconfig or ifconfig would show the interface for that..06:23
tj83amt2 if you dont get a link light.. its likely a bad cable or a crossover cable type06:23
donnyoh right, they don't have fs nodes in /dev anymore06:23

Daisuke_IdoHeMan: ask in #ubuntu+1 for intrepid help06:41
Kurtvnix, there's usually a section in Makefile.in for system configuration settings which is where it would ideally go, but it shouldn't actually matter if you put it at the top06:42
HeManDaisuke_Ido: ah! thanks06:42
vnixAlright thanks Kurt I have bypass the warning^^06:43
Kurtvnix: congrats :) what's the package if I may ask?06:43
dataspythe problem: I'm locked out of my system because / is full, I've now booted into safe mode and was trying to move stuff to my home directory so that / has more space and I can boot back into my comp.  What can I delete without messing up my system?  Can I delete /var , it seems like a really big dir ?06:44

dataspyI actually don't care about messing up my system I just want to get some data off of it06:45
Kurtdataspy: if you have things in /tmp/ they can almost certainly go safely06:45
lowluxi can not play any of my raideo on vlc... puse auideo sucks06:45
dataspykurt: thanks, I'll try that :)06:45
vnix_Kurt when I use "make" then it's compiling right?06:46
Kurtdataspy: things in /var can probably go as well, but I'd look at the subdirectories (common ones like /var/mail are important to many people even if not system important)06:46
Kurtvnix_, yes06:46
vbhidei simply can't figure out y my sd card is not working!06:46
vnix_how I specify which directory I want the compile files go to?06:47
vnix_make /dev0 ?06:47
dataspykurt: ok, I delete temp but I still have no room in / , is there anything else I can possibly delete, possibly in /var06:48

donnyvnix, i believe you're thinking of the --prefix= option of the configuration script. then use "make install" to install the software you've built.06:50
icewatermani am getting a badsig error06:50
Kurtvnix, no, arguments to make are targets06:50
icewatermanwhen trying to update06:50
Dfcnvtgood god, what the hell are you doing? don't delete your root!06:50
vnix_okie06:50
Kurtvnix, usually you would do something like ./configure, make, make install06:50
icewatermanhardy-updates will not update because of that error06:50
Kartagiswhat repo do i get frostwire from?06:51
donnydon't listen to him. do it. delete your root. no one needs warned against this. a legitimate warning would be "that will erase your root." but that wasn't applicable.06:51
Kartagis!frostwire06:51
ubottufrostwire is a totally open source version of Limewire.  For installation help, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FrostWire06:51

spiritssightDoes any one know where I can get the dirver for the GUI ndiswrapper it ask for a inf (the driver is for "0b:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4311 802.11b/g WLAN (rev 01)" ??06:51
Kurtdataspy: if you don't care about possibly losing personal info (like if you have mail in /var/mail), then you can delete stuff in /var/ without affecting your system06:52
spiritssightor is there a easer way to install this06:52
donnyspiritssight,  i think you have to download that from microsoft's website06:52
donnyspiritssight, check the ndiswrapper website, i think it's http://ndiswrapper.sf.net/06:52

bazzwhy the hell would ld be telling me cannot find -lXmu when i have libXmu.so.6 in /usr/lib and ldconfig -p confirms that it's there and 'findable'07:02
obsidiethit seems im the only one here, but sorry i have no idea07:02
bazzheh, that's okay07:03
DfcnvtMaybe it's not only a file is actually there in your /usr/lib directory.. but a program that can't do the job correctly by using your libXmu.so.6 file...07:04
Dfcnvtthe**07:05
obsidiethi am sorry to ask again, but this is really bugging me.07:05
obsidiethhow do i remove an entry from my ifconfig.07:05
obsidiethim new and stupid, ill admit that.07:05
Dfcnvtok, if you want your interface disappear, then reach your hand in the computer case and pull out the network interface card.. and try ifconfig command...07:06
bazzobsidieth: ifconfig should only report things that are actually *there*, so what do you mean by remove07:06
obsidiethwell07:07
obsidiethive got an ipv4in6 somethinf something07:07
obsidiethipv6 tunnel i guess07:07
obsidiethbut i want to remove it and add a different one07:07

ubottuKartagis: swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info07:31
DfcnvtQuestion, if you use swap on your system, would it work without a ram? I wouldn't think so..07:31
FlannelDfcnvt: no07:32
FlannelDfcnvt: you can have a system without SWAP, you can't have a system without RAM07:32
Ergo^Flannel: ok i have that saved, what now ?07:32
Dfcnvtsuppose you have 256 megabytes.. with a swap of 2 gigabytes.. would that help any?07:32
Dfcnvt256 of ram..*07:32
FlannelErgo^: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade07:33
FlannelDfcnvt: That'd be a bit of overkill on swap space.  You probably want about 512MB of swap.07:33

ubottugtalk is an instant messaging program from Google. Currently, Google does not have an official standalone gtalk client for Linux (though you can chat via your browser in gmail) but supports connections from third party clients such as Pidgin. See: http://www.google.com/talk/otherclients.html08:54

Drag0nLordany hardware g33ks here?08:57
netsurf3hmm two questions: 1) is there any way i can force a switch to a tty if xorg has crashed or is there some sysrq combination that can kill x? also is it possible to unlock my LVM encrypted root, home and swap with a usb key and fall back to password if unavailble08:57
Greyspacebt3Thanks doug, I know you mean well08:57
Greyspacebt3lol08:57
=== MikeSeth_ is now known as MikeSeth
dougskonetsurf3: ctrl-alt-backspace will restart X. ctrl-alt-F# will swith your tty08:57
netsurf3dougsko, i am refering to a locked up xorg08:58
linuxhelpyes i read about usb-stick and unlock luks partition08:58
Drag0nLordwhich agp video card should i use, the 3dforce2mx-32 or the ati rage 128 32?08:58
linuxhelpi prefer NVIDIA cards at all PCs08:58
netsurf3dougsko, it wount be killed if xorg is locked up and i could not switch to tty either08:58
Drag0nLordme too...but which would be faster/better on 8.04?08:58
linuxhelpi use a 8400GS with driver of nvidia08:59
dougskonetsurf3: if your keybaord is locked up, youll probly have to reboot08:59
netsurf3linuxhelp, hmm any linkage for the source? problem is it does need to fall back to passphrase from console just incase ;)08:59
WoofWoofWooflinuxhelp: There is no  /etc/initramfs-tools/resume08:59
Drag0nLordspecifically, which would allow faster video playback on youtube, etc08:59

eccentricitynetsurf3, if you can ssh into a machine with a locked up x from another machine you can use chvt... but in that case I guess you could just kill x the easy way09:01
netsurf3eccentricity, hmm cant ssh into it currently09:01
dougskonetsurf3: yeah thats weird. you might want to check your X log to see if anything stands out09:01

It is now part of the ubuntu universe repository (envyng-gtk OR envyng-qt) we suggest you use envyng if every other (official/supported) method fails! it can have various results from works, to fails!!!  if you want the very latest drivers from the manufacturer you use them at your own risk09:33

ActionParsnipnirupama: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade10:15
ActionParsnipelzoog: that hold all your firefox preferences and settings10:16
nirupamaActionParsnip, but will it really upgrade whole of my base system and the applications10:16
ActionParsnipnirupama: yes10:16
nirupamaActionParsnip, I want to upgrade from 7.04 to 8.0410:16
unopnirupama, not really, use the update-manager-core package10:16
ActionParsnipnirupama: no, you need ubottu's link for that10:16
nirupamaActionParsnip, so can I get 8.04 just by apt-get upgrade10:16
nirupamaActionParsnip, what is ubottu's link10:17
OntologI have a 1.80GHz processor however cpuinfo_cur_freq is only 600MHz. Why is this and how do I change it?10:17
elzoogAlso, I am wondering why did I have to search really hard to find an Ubuntu 8.04 DVD iso?  Is Ubuntu gradually getting rid of having DVD isos in favor of only offering the CD?10:17
nirupamaActionParsnip, you mean repository path10:17
ActionParsnipnirupama: as i said if you are going between versions then use ubottus link, if you want to upgrade the version you have, use my command10:17
unopnirupama, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes10:17
WoofWoofWoofAsked this earlier, but no one was able to solve it: I'm using Ubuntu 8.04 Desktop edition on an Acer 5920. Earlier, I shut it down and went away and when I came back a few minutes later, it was on, with a blank screen and a blinking cursor. It turned off when I pressed the power button. Now when I turn it on, it's not booting. It turns on and stops at the blank screen with the blinking cursor and does not proceed further. Right now I'm using the Live 10:18
ActionParsnipelzoog: the dvd just has more fluff on it (like multiple desktop managers and the like)10:18
nirupamaActionParsnip, please explain me ubottus10:18
hanaI was just trying to test Photoshop in Ubuntu. I put in the CD and attempted to see if wine would respond to it and get it to run. After installing Gecko and attempting the setup process, now Ubuntu will not even read the CD.10:18
ActionParsnip!upgrade | nirupama10:18
ubottunirupama: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes10:18
ActionParsnipnirupama: that link there ^10:18
nirupamaActionParsnip, ok10:18
ActionParsnipnirupama: will upgrade you to the latest release (hardy heron)10:19
nirupamaActionParsnip, ok10:19
ActionParsniphana: try a reboot, id try photoshop through wine or even cedega if you dont mind spending the cash10:19
ActionParsniphana: gimp is pretty sweet10:19
hanaActionParsnip, gimp is not sweet in my experience. But I did try a reboot and it's the same problem. I am trying photoshop through wine, as I mentioned already.10:20
elzoogAction:  Yeah, but I would rather have stuff that is not commonly used, but I would like to try on the DVD (for example, Rosegarden) so that I don't have to download a file from the internet every time I want to try something odd10:20
ActionParsnipelzoog: not very much in linux is common, all systems are unique10:21
hanaActionParsnip, I just needed to install gecko because the Photoshop setup.exe uses IE, which requires wine's Gecko component. But after I did that it seems like Ubuntu will not read the photoshop CD.10:21
ActionParsniphana: try remounting it10:21
hanaActionParsnip, I did. I remove the CD and put it back in and close it and it doesn't reead.10:21
hanaActionParsnip, it read the very first time.10:21
ActionParsnipelzoog: if you want all the extra stuff then the dvd is for you, id try and get it via torrents as its faster and you give back tothe community by seeding10:22
elzoogAction:  Well, I would say that firefox and openoffice are examples of programs that are common.  But for example, I have QCad on my machine.  That would be an example of something probably not common10:22
ActionParsniphana: you need to unmount the cd using sudo umount /mount/point/of/cd10:22
ActionParsnipelzoog: i use neither10:22
hanaActionParsnip, alright. I'll try that.10:22
=== zero is now known as Guest48126
hanaActionParsnip, actually, I'm not sure what the mount point of my CD is.10:24
elzoogAction:  What do you use instead of Firefox?  I use Firefox because it's common enough that web developers are more likely to support it than, for example, Galleon10:24
ActionParsniphana: run mount on its own10:24
hanaActionParsnip, ok/10:24
ActionParsnipelzoog: opera, its way smaller in ram10:24
elzoogAction:  Yeah, I hear Opera is popular.10:25
hanaActionParsnip, I don't see any /media mounts.10:25
obsidiethopera is swoi10:25
Slasher`i like opera10:25
elzoogAction:  But if I were a web developer, I would only test my sites on Internet Explorer, and Firefox10:25
kindofabuzzActionParsnip, wrong. look up some tests10:26
ActionParsniphana: id have the cd out, reboot, then once you are back in, insert the cd10:26
hanaActionParsnip, ok.10:26
hanaActionParsnip, I'll be back if it doesn't work. Thank you.10:26
ActionParsnipkindofabuzz: well it doesnt make my system drag like firefox does when it runs, thats my test10:26
Slasher`elzoog, i test mine on opera as well as those two and sometimes in konqueror too if i'm bored :P10:26
kindofabuzzActionParsnip, my FF barely ever get's past 100m10:26
ActionParsnipkindofabuzz: its how it runs on MY system that counts, not some test / benchmarks10:26
kindofabuzzM10:26
Slasher`well said ActionParsnip10:27
kindofabuzzActionParsnip, true, you should have said Opera uses les memory on my system =)10:27
Slasher`it was the mouse gestures that grabbed my attention to it to be honest10:27
elzoogSlasher:  If I notice a web site doesn't look good on Konqueror, I close konqueror and pull up firefox10:27
ActionParsnippeople rely too heavily on benchmarks when they can test software for free and see how it performs10:27
Slasher`i do that if a website doesnt look good in opera elzoog lol10:27

ActionParsniphana: does it show up in bios?10:36

ghostknifestdin: problem with that one is that it doesn't affect SUDO10:36
dougskoGreyspacebt3: awesome10:37
ikoniaghostknife: you may want to put something in /etc/skel to for new user creation10:37
hanaActionParsnip, I would just have to check. I just took the CD out and put it in my other computer and it works fine, so I know it's not the CD.10:37
stdinghostknife: sudo has a built-in "secure" path, you can't change it10:37

br0kkNconfig better to avoid this.  like how /etc/fstab can use uuids, mabye there is something like that for grub config???10:38
ikoniabr0kkN: make sure your grub /boot partition is always on drive 1 then10:38
stdinikonia, ghostknife: the -E variable to sudo should preserve PATH, but I think you need to edit /etc/sudoers to make it work (not sure)10:38

hanaActionParsnip, I put in another CD and it mounted on this computer. So I guess the CD drive is also working.

ghalebActionParsnip: it didn't work10:56
unopghaleb, how did you export the variable in ~/.bashrc ?10:56
dougskoGreyspacebt3: easy enough10:56
ActionParsnipghaleb: did you put export on the line, if you look through the file you'll find stuff10:57
ActionParsnipMyrtti: you could install webmin instead10:57
ghalebActionParsnip:  yes10:57
bob1I duel booted my Dell and Ubuntu works great! but it sometimes restarts several times on boot up? any ideas?10:57
ActionParsnipMyrtti: its free forever10:57
MyrttiActionParsnip: it's not for me but for a friend who has tried to enroll for the trial and has some problems/questions about it10:57
ActionParsnipMyrtti: oh then ive no idea, ive used webmin a little10:58
ghalebI copied the exported variables into the shell, it worked10:58
Greyspacebt3dougsko, yeah,,, after 4 hours ,, then another 2 hours with you and dinner,, and then 30 minutes retrying it until I figured out "not to request new kernal... and let it rebuild a kernel... yeah it was easy10:58
ghalebbut it doesn't when  opening a new terminal10:59
zockyhi10:59
ActionParsnipghaleb: type source ~/.bashrc10:59
ActionParsnipghaleb: in terminal10:59
unopghaleb, what's the exact line you used in your ~/.bashrc ?  maybe there's a syntax error in the export?10:59
zockyanyone know how I can turn off a usb device, as opposed to just allowing it to be suspended?10:59
dougskoGreyspacebt3: heh thats all part of the fun. if everything just worked all the time, there'd be a lot less (forced) learning opportunities haha11:00
Greyspacebt3dougsko, easy question how to I install a super terminal or root terminal11:00
dougskoGreyspacebt3: there isnt such a thing. what exactly are you trying to do?11:01
Greyspacebt3dougsko, but my head hurts11:01
ActionParsnipGreyspacebt3: no need, just sudo when you need root priveledges11:01
Greyspacebt3Actually there such a thing11:01
Greyspacebt3brb11:01
unopGreyspacebt3, you don't need to install one .. you can create a launcher that runs this command.  gksudo x-terminal-emulator11:01
lmgGreyspacebt3: actually, there is one installed11:01
zockywhat unop said11:01
lmgGreyspacebt3: just enable it11:01
lmgsystem > preferences > startmenu11:01
Greyspacebt3lmg.. your right.. but I don't rememeber where it is11:02
lmg> main menu that is11:02

Greyspacebt3Thats the one11:02
Greyspacebt3lmg... you rock11:02
lmgbut what the others said is perfectly right too. it's just another launcher11:02
unopzocky, what king of a USB device is it?11:03

ActionParsnipGreyspacebt3: gksu terminal & will sprout a root terminal11:03

zockyunop, a builtin webcam11:03
unopif 'terminal' is indeed a valid command i.e.11:03
zockyunop, on a laptop11:03
dougskoGreyspacebt3: you can also do a 'sudo -i' in any terminal to get a root prompt11:03

lmgguys, not really an ubuntu-question, but: how hot are harddrives expected to become? mine are 40,42 and 43 deg celsius. is that okay?11:10

ActionParsnipvampur: just tell the last line, scrolling isnt cool11:30
unopAbracadabra, what are you trying to do?11:30
unopvampur, it /dev/eda  the device name of your harddrive?11:31
unopvampur,  eda doesn't sound right11:31
Abracadabraunop, I am trying to find all the files icmpInSrcQuenchs, recursively by a specific date and to find out which of those files are in which folder11:31
vampurdear unop how may i get the right name of the drive11:32
unopvampur,  sudo fdisk -l11:32
ActionParsnipvampur: id get testdisk installed. I think yuo can write a FAT to the device11:32
unopAbracadabra, you should use find instead.  something like.   find /path -iname '*icmpinsrcquenchs*' -type f -newer $SOME_DATE -exec dirname {} \;11:33
Abracadabraunop, so I start in /usr/folder (inside folder, there are over 200 subfolders, all named by numbers .... in each of those folders are the file icmpInSrcQuenchs). I need to list the ones that have been updating today, and in which folders they are in11:33
ActionParsnipvampur: yes, testdisk can write an mbr to the device which may or may not make it work11:34
ActionParsnipvampur: you can always uninstall it11:34
vampurdear action i installed testdisk now what to do11:35
ActionParsnipsudo testdisk11:35
unopAbracadabra,  find /usr/folder -iname '*icmpInSrcQuenchs*' -type f -mtime -1  #should list files modified in the last 24 hours11:36
vampurnow dere are option for creat log append file and no log11:37
unopAbracadabra, if you just want the directories these files belong in.  find /usr/folder -iname '*icmpInSrcQuenchs*' -type f -mtime -1 -exec dirname {} \; | sort | uniq11:37
ActionParsnipvampur: no need for a log11:37

valentinexHello i am new i want to install flashplayer11:39
Abracadabraunop, ty, and if I want to check files that have updated in the last 30 mins for eg ?11:39
Abracadabrainstead of the last day..11:39
lmgvalentinex: google "medibuntu repository" add it following the directions and install "flashplayer-nonfree"11:39
carreracan anyone tell me if there's a problem with using "sudo bash" instead "sudo -i", "sudo bash"?11:40
valentinexlmg: how to add directions11:40
unopAbracadabra,  hmm, see the  -newer option to find11:40
unopAbracadabra, also the -?time options11:40
valentinexlmg:  its in .tar.gz extension which i downloaded11:40
unopcarrera, sudo bash does not set the environment up in the same way  sudo -i does .. the former is not recommended11:41
unopcarrera, if i remember right,  sudo bash  is somewhat like  sudo -s11:41
unopthough not exactly11:41
carrerathanks unop, why isn't it recommended?11:41
carreraunop, so I shouldn't use it to run commands like "make install"?11:42
valentinexhow to handle a downloaded .tar.gz file?11:42
Abracadabraunop, ok, ty11:42
lmgvalentinex: that is for local install ~/.mozilla/firefox/plugins/11:42
mrglinuxare there any mail client program that it can separate each account in side bar (like outlook 2003) not each email from each account stand in a inbox ?11:43
unopcarrera, because the environment still has variables referencing your files, directories, etc .. and if any files are created (in your directories), only root will be able to open them -- which is almost never what you want.11:43
carreraunop, man page says:  The -s (shell) option runs the shell specified by the SHELL envi‐11:43
carrera           ronment variable if it is set or the shell as specified in11:43
carrera           passwd(5).11:43
unopcarrera,  sudo make install #should be enough11:43
valentinexlmg:  i am totally new . i should enter that in terminal? i dont know much about computer too11:43
carreraunop, so it seems like sudo -s is exactly like "sudo bash"11:43
carreraunop, thanks. I used to do "sudo -i" before I ran make install11:44
lmgvalentinex: extract libflashplayer...11:44
vampurthe media i mean the pendrive is not being displeyd in testdisk11:44
unopcarrera, it's safer to use sudo -i  unless you really really want otherwise11:44
lmgvalentinex: cut it. goto /home/valentinex/.mozilla/firefox/plugins/ and paste it there.11:44
unopcarrera, though it doesn't make sense to sudo -i just to run make install .. as you can just run make under sudo11:45
zachaWhat's "menu>quit..." called? I want to find out how to add more options to it (hibernate + sleep etc)11:46
carreraunop, so which is better, to just run "sudo make install" or to login to root interactively?11:46
unopcarrera, sudo make install11:46
carreraok11:46
lmgcarrera: sudo (without any switches) preserves your environment (display, path) which is needed by some programs.11:47
cabi #ubuntuusers11:47
valentinexlmg: home/valentine etc after that i am unable to find mozilla11:47
vampurnow wthat can i do just to format my pendrive as it's not able to read11:47
carreralmg, thanks. Isn't it best to use root's env for make install as in other Unix/Linux?11:48
lmgvalentinex: note: it's .mozilla11:48

Slasher`xr600, my nokia 6300 just works when i plug it in, i use data storage mode11:48
lmgvalentinex: you can type in nautilus adress bar, or show hidden files (CTRL+H iirc)11:49
unopcarrera, not really, you just need to be root to run 'make install'11:49
unopcarrera, meaning, you need root's privileges11:49
valentinexlmg:  found it doing11:49
carreraunop, thaks11:49

xMassi1986xHi11:59
Badboy_Now I thought whether macro supports recursion or not11:59
michaesaurlmg: you should try from source.  Crux is a good banker.11:59
dooglusBadboy_: C preprocessor macros can't be recursive, but recursion can be achieved using C++'s template mechanism11:59
AlexCONRADwhat would you recommend as an client app that handles FTP, SFTP, etc ...11:59
lmgmichaesaur: come again. crux, banker?11:59
dooglusAlexCONRAD: GNU Emacs12:00

d0c5i5I'm having a problem getting ubuntu to connect to our PIX, my pcf file works on windows, but when i try to import it into KVpnc, it keeps insisting that I enter a username/password (as opposed to group password)... Any suggestions?12:01
lmgI will do as you command, oracle, sir.12:01
dooglusAlexCONRAD: how about filezilla then?12:01
michaesauroh.  i'm in #ubuntu.  oops.12:02
AlexCONRADyeah, I was using this before under windows, but it's a win32 client ... I thought there might have more "linux" alternative12:02

lmgcan one use gparted to edit the systems / partition?12:05
lmgguess not while it's mounted.12:05
lmgbut how would I do that then?12:05
y3knope, you have to use gparted live CD or some other source12:05
y3kor an ubuntu liveCD would work too (i think it does have gparted on it)12:06
=== mehteenager is now known as MrObvious
lmgy3k: yeah, I figured.12:07
lmgwhat If I dropped to single user mode. unmounted / and ran gparted from said live-CD?12:07
d0c5i5lmg: you would have to switch root12:08
d0c5i5lmg: why not boot the live CD?12:08
y3ki still don't get why my gparted Live USB gives me grub error 1712:09
