[00:00] <etfb> Does anyone have any experience using kvpnc to connect to a Windows network?  I'm beginning to think the software itself is broken.
[00:00] <patrik> Xial, sadly, if I cant get this mobile stuff to work, I'll have to switch back.  =/ It seemed so easy in the tutorials ;)
[00:00] <danbh_intrepid> !tab > diegodiaz please use my whole name.  It helps me poor eyes
[00:00] <DasEi> milostrife : have problems with identifying partitions ? > sudo fdisk-l
[00:00] <Scunizi> milostrife: there's lots of new things that you'll be learning with linux and ubuntu.. grub is one of the necessary evils you get use to and can learn to like
[00:00] <danbh_intrepid> diegodiaz: which command?
[00:00] <Razer> using a liveCD what do I do to increase the size of my linux partition?
[00:01] <puff> Hm, my thinkpad (running ubuntu) isn't getting a dhcp response from the router/access point.
[00:01] <danbh_intrepid> !GParted > Razer one option
[00:01] <jrib> jescis: poke me if you can't find them, and I'll search too.  I know I've seen them there though
[00:01] <keepsake> Isn't the LiveCD size limited to your RAM size?
[00:01] <koshari> Razer make sure you back up before using any partition utilities
[00:02] <Razer> danbh_intrepid: how do I resize my ntfs partition though?
[00:02] <diegodiaz> danbh_intrepid: the sudo update-mime-database command from that post..
[00:02] <Xial> patrik: i do have to admit, though, I'm also curious as to why the current howto for evdo cards didn't help.
[00:02] <puff> Also, not that I can do anything about it right now, but anybody know about kernel versions?  Ever since I upgraded to hardy, suspend-to-ram has stopped working.  Suspend-to-disk (aka hibernate) sorta works, but every second or third time I have to force a reboot.
[00:02] <milostrife> Scunizi, have problems with identifying partitions ? > sudo fdisk-l would that work or not? yeah my friend that introduced me to it said the same
[00:02] <Scunizi> milostrife: the grub link I think specifically shows you how to recover after installing window as a secondary OS
[00:02] <danbh_intrepid> diegodiaz: what arguments is it looking for?
[00:02] <Scunizi> milostrife: sudo fdisk -l (there's a space there between k & -l) will identify partitions..
[00:03] <milostrife> Scunizi,  yeah it's a how to but my problem is still gettin windows to install through bios as i have legit copied cd of my windows disk but it keeps crashing on autoload in ubuntu?
[00:04] <Scunizi> milostrife: it only identifies them with that command. When installing windows on the secondary drive, if you have a choice for the filesystem choose NTFS not Fat32
[00:04] <diegodiaz> danbh_intrepid: looks like [-hvV] MIME-DIR
[00:04] <Scunizi> milostrife: you can't load ubuntu then from there put the disk in and install windows.. you have to put the disk in and reboot.
[00:04] <danbh_intrepid> diegodiaz: can you pastebin the results of your commands?
[00:04] <Razer> I can't resize my ntfs partition with gparted
[00:05] <danbh_intrepid> Razer: is this hardy?
[00:05] <diegodiaz> sure.. right here, or private to you?
[00:05] <danbh_intrepid> !paste > diegodiaz
[00:05] <Razer> danbh_intrepid: yes
[00:05] <koshari> Razer you need to install a package for ntfs resize to appear in gparted
[00:05] <milostrife> Scunizi,  ok well i tried that but it wouldn't let me format on ntfs it just came up with a message saying if you with to install windows on this dirve please select a partition when it's just saying raw unpartitioned space
[00:05] <Razer> koshari: I'm running off a liveCD
[00:06] <koshari> Razer otherwise it will be greyed out, i cant remember the package name
[00:06] <Scunizi> milostrife: ok.. then use partition editor to create a partition and see if it will format it using ntfs
[00:06] <patrik> again, My e220 connects and receives an IP, but can't seem to connect to the DNS. Trying for some reason to connect to suse.de. Any ideas?
[00:06] <danbh_intrepid> Razer: you are right, gparted doesnt support it
[00:06] <koshari> Razer you can still install packaged in a live session if your connected
[00:07] <diegodiaz> danbh_intrepid: i was also thinking I might be able to restore it from the HH live disk..
[00:07] <keepsake> Why not like
[00:07] <keepsake> choose to install
[00:07] <diegodiaz> I posted it by the way.
[00:07] <keepsake> use the installation to partition the drive
[00:07] <keepsake> and then exit the installation?
[00:07] <danbh_intrepid> diegodiaz: if you have a separate /home, that usually the easiest fix
[00:07] <danbh_intrepid> diegodiaz: link?
[00:07] <koshari> Razer ntfsprogs is the package, however i generally use the gparted live cd for such actions
[00:08] <milostrife> Scunizi,  the gpartitioner you give install line for? if it is then it only comes up with ecxt2,3 fat16,32 linux-swap, reiserfs and unformatted
[00:08] <koshari> Razer remember to BACKUP....
[00:08] <Razer> koshari: I am running ther gparted liveCd
[00:08] <keepsake> koshari: isn't it possible to just use the Setup to format the disk and then exit setup before it's completed?
[00:08] <Scunizi> milostrife: didn't realize there was an unformatted option.. use that one.
[00:08] <keepsake> koshari: i.e. before it starts installing Ubuntu files
[00:08] <diegodiaz> danbh_intrepid: oops.. first timer here.. http://paste.ubuntu.com/47019/
[00:09] <koshari> keepsake possable bu ti havnt done it, i still think you cannot resize a ntfs partition without ntfsprogs
[00:09] <danbh_intrepid> diegodiaz: thats the wrong command
[00:09] <milostrife> Scunizi,  ok what do i create as primary or extended partions logical isn't an option?
[00:09] <keepsake> koshari: I'm pretty sure the 8.04 setup supports NTFS drives =S I might be wrong though
[00:09] <Scunizi> milostrife: primary
[00:09] <Scunizi> milostrife: how large is the drive?
[00:09] <keepsake> koshari: but that's how I recovered one of my laptop's drives that I accidentally deleted using aefdisk in Windows
[00:09] <danbh_intrepid> diegodiaz: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=2952926&postcount=4 are you looking at this page?
[00:10] <koshari> keepsake it does support creating ntfs partitions but not resizing
[00:10] <milostrife> Scunizi,  only 40gig operation is pending now
[00:10] <Razer> koshari: It says I already have ntfsprogs
[00:10] <mercutio22> Hello, my session just suddenly restarted, how can I diagnose whats wrong looking into log files? Can someone help me with the basics?
[00:10] <diegodiaz> yep..
[00:10] <koshari> Razer there must be another reason it wont let you resize, its not mounted is it?
[00:10] <Razer> koshari: I don't know
[00:10] <danbh_intrepid> diegodiaz: see how the command you ran is not the command suggested, which is: sudo update-mime-database /usr/share/mime
[00:10] <keepsake> Razer: Try this bootcd: http://sysresccd.org/Main_Page
[00:10] <Scunizi> milostrife: pretty small but large enough.. if it was larger I'd suggest making as small a portion of a partition that windows will need and use the remaining portion for extra Ubuntu storage.
[00:11] <keepsake> Razer: It's supposed to have qtparted which does support NTFS
[00:11] <koshari> you cannot edit partitions while thay are mounted
[00:11] <gbolte> well I seem to have got one of the problems sorted
[00:11] <gbolte> I now have audio
[00:11] <milostrife> Scunizi,  yeah was thinking that but just brought an external 500gib for ubuntu storage
[00:11] <diegodiaz> danbh_intrepid: Yeah, you're absolutely right..
[00:11] <gbolte> but I do not have spdif audio
[00:11] <gbolte> :/
[00:11] <the_darkside_986> Is it possible to set a page quota per day in Ubuntu Hardy for a USB printer? I tried editing the cups config file and restarting cups but it didn't work--I was still able to exceed the quota without a complaint from cupsd...
[00:11] <danbh_intrepid> diegodiaz: ok, good, im glad you see.  Give it another try, let me know if it works
[00:11] <gbolte> so if anyone has any ideas to make my spdif out work please let me know
[00:12] <Scunizi> milostrife: sounds like me.. I have a 500 external and 3 internals.. 80 gig/120 gig/ 250gig
[00:13] <milostrife> Scunizi,  i was hopeing to get a terrabiyte but wasn't in the sale and didn't really have the spare cash for it as it was £135 :(
[00:13] <gbolte> it looks like its making a connection when I check and uncheck the iec958 box in gnome volume thingy the receiver looks like it notices
[00:13] <gbolte> :/
[00:13] <gbolte> but again still no audio
[00:13] <milostrife> Scunizi,  it's found it now file systems unknown partition name is sdb1
[00:13] <Scunizi> milostrife: ouch.. that apx. $250.. they're on sale out here for around $150 or apx 70
[00:13] <keepsake> Razer: btw, if you do use that LiveCD, people have suggested that you defrag NTFS first
[00:14] <gbolte> which is a problem since I would like to watch movies in surround sound on this box
[00:14] <keepsake> Razer: and to back up the NTFS partition in case things go wrong (though it shouldn't)
[00:14] <diegodiaz> danbh_intrepid:  thanks, wish me luck..
[00:14] <Scunizi> milostrife: yee ha. (that's an American term)  now you can install windows
[00:14] <keepsake> oh lmao he left XD
[00:14] <milostrife> Scunizi, lol mite have to buy one and get my cousin to mail me XD it's got an (!) in a yellow and orange triangle does that mean anything?
[00:14] <danbh_intrepid> diegodiaz: good luck!  and let me know!
[00:15] <Scunizi> milostrife: is that inside of partition editor?
[00:15] <milostrife> Scunizi,  yeah just after the sdb1 before filesystem
[00:16] <Scunizi> milostrife: probably just means it's not formatted.
[00:16] <Xial> simple question: I'd like to replace grub with a graphical boot manager. I let other users use this computer, and it's a bit annoying to remind them to choose Windows so they can play their silly poker game. Are there any recommended ones?
[00:16] <milostrife> Scunizi,  okies well i'll give windows a try now thanks for help XD
[00:16] <darren_> Hi could some one please let me know if you need an antivirus programe or a firewall with ubuntu
[00:16] <koshari> darren_ generally not
[00:17] <darren_> koshari, OK THANKS
[00:17] <Scunizi> milostrife: http://tinyurl.com/3fs7jp   no problem.. :)
[00:17] <Scunizi> that a link to the drive.
[00:17] <keepsake> Xial: try gfxboot
[00:18] <keepsake> Xial: it simulates the bootscreen in OpenSUSE
[00:18] <keepsake> Xial: or, at least, it's possible to simulate it if you download a file for it
[00:18] <Cpudan80> darren_: It really depends, what do you intend to do on Ubuntu
[00:18] <darren_> Also one last thing when i try autodetect it says invalid argument but when i select an other option like alsa sound works fine is this normal
[00:18] <Cpudan80> darren_: in general no av is needed, but firewall you might want
[00:18] <darren_> Cpudan80, ok thanks
[00:19] <Xial> keepsake: thanks for that. looking into it now to see if it might meet my needs. :)
[00:19] <keepsake> Xial: good luck!
[00:19] <Cpudan80> darren_: If you are going to run some bad services on your ubuntu box (most popular one would be VNC) -- you might want to block that (if you are plugged right into the net [no NAT])
[00:20] <darren_> Cpudan80, ok thanks for the advice
[00:21] <yetanothernick> what im about to do is part of a bet..enjoy kicking me out
[00:21] <Cpudan80> darren_: services like VNC can be made safe, if you run them over SSH

[00:25] <hporse> hi. does anyone here use gedit and the plugin "External Tools"
[00:25] <hporse> ?
[00:25] <chris__> i'd like to boot the same install of ubuntu from 2 different computers (one being a VM). It all boots fine but i have to reinstall the drivers every time. is there a way to have something like "hardware profiles" for each computer?
[00:25] <starn> i am unable to find an easy to use MESS erm.. well i cant find a working one.. so.. what are the top emulators for sega cd sega genesis neogeo spectrum atari ngpc pcengine? you can pm the info...
[00:26] <DjDoUblEs> hello all, I have a bit of a Windows issue I need to ask about, but it arose while downloading ubuntu.
[00:26] <hporse> im am using gedit 2.22.3 but i am unable to activate the plugin "external Tools". Did anyone here successfully activate it?
[00:26] <chris__> DjDoUblEs: what issue would that be?
[00:27] <DjDoUblEs> Anything I download that is more than 10 MB ends up incorrectly downloading or just corrupt.
[00:27] <flyback> how does this freaking UP-YOURS that replaced inittab work if you need to setup a serial console
[00:27] <flyback> this is major fail
[00:28] <koshari> chris__ for simple thngs hal shouls sort out the modules however for video driver ect it may be a problem
[00:28] <hporse> does ANYONE here have gedit. and if yes, which version?
[00:28] <Xial> Now to get that reboot in that I've put off for an hour. (Thank goodness I don't get poked every eight minutes for it.)
[00:28] <DjDoUblEs> I tried downloading ubuntu 8 times already, 4 times just from mirrors, twice for the torrent, and twice through wubi but to no avail.
[00:28] <koshari> DjDoUblEs what downlaod app are you using?
[00:28] <DjDoUblEs> firefox
[00:29] <DjDoUblEs> then utorrent and wubi
[00:29] <chris__> koshari: you have any suggestions where to look for a solution?
[00:29] <formode> I am having Random restarts ever since I updated my Ubuntu with all the updates of the last month. It was not restarting randomly before then! Help, please.
[00:29] <danbh_intrepid> formode: was there a new kernel?
[00:29] <DjDoUblEs> I check the MD5 against the ISO and it fails everytime
[00:29] <formode> Formode, I have no idea.
[00:30] <fallore> my sound isn't working, it was very recently, i have no idea why and didn't change anything. ideas?
[00:30] <formode> I know it was an update from within the last 30 days, it is not hardware related, Xorg related, Gnome related.
[00:30] <koshari> chris__  so if i understand you will have one instalation but 2 instances of accessing it? how will the vm access it?
[00:30] <jescis> jrib, inittab was easier :(
[00:30] <DjDoUblEs> samthing happens when I try to download iTunes 8.0
[00:30] <formode> danbh_intrepid, I have no idea. I know it was an update from within the last 30 days, it is not hardware related, Xorg related, Gnome related.
[00:30] <chris__> koshari: the vm accesses the physical HD. all that works already. the only trouble is the driver issue
[00:30] <danbh_intrepid> formode: if you had a new kernel, you would have options to choose at bootup
[00:30] <koshari> chris__  could you not have 2 installs and symlink the /~ from one to the second?
[00:31] <bigtimetycoon> Hey I am having problems connecting to my wireless network can anyone help me ? ?  ?
[00:31] <DasEi> !wireless
[00:31] <formode> danbh_intrepid No I didn't get any options after the updates. and, it has been doing random boots while loading GRUB too.
[00:32] <danbh_intrepid> formode: I dont understand what random boots means?
[00:32] <koshari> chris__ do you know which drivers are the issue? maybe you could write a script that looks at a tel tale sign for which hardware its booting on and then rmmod the offending drivers and modprobe the needed ones at boot time
[00:33] <formode> danbh_intrepid My computer will randomly restart without warning, hard restart, no dialogues no nothing. Like a power failure, but I know that is not the problem.
[00:33] <flyback> formode,
[00:33] <danbh_intrepid> formode: heat sink failure?
[00:33] <flyback> what brand power supply
[00:33]  * jescis wishes he never installed ubuntu :<
[00:33]  * flyback does also
[00:34] <flyback> 6.06 has been fucking shit nothing but trouble for our servers at work
[00:34] <formode> danbh_intrepid, It wouldn't be that, it didn't start until the updates.
[00:34] <linu> nathdelicia@gmail.com
[00:34] <flyback> probably going to quit my job after almost 2 yrs over this
[00:34] <formode> flyback, You're aware 6.06 is heavily outdated?
[00:34] <Flannel> flyback: please watch your language
[00:34] <flyback> yes
[00:34] <Flannel> formode: Its not outdated.
[00:34] <chris__> koshari: hmm im sort of a linux noob i'm not really sure. mainly video drivers for now. there are several addons that vbox installs too
[00:34] <flyback> that's what vmware server will run on
[00:34] <flyback> and that's what I had a pxe boot template and install script for
[00:34] <formode> flannel, it is no longer supported offically by Canocial.
[00:35] <Flannel> formode: yes it is.  It's got until april of next year.
[00:35] <limitedwisdom> I have an ubuntu hardy server that I just built.
[00:35] <Flannel> formode: and on the server, two years after that.
[00:35] <jescis> flyback, I'm running 7.10
[00:35] <soundcyst> i'm using 8.04 and accidentally deleted my entire top bar. i've managed to get a new bar up, but can't seem to get all of the old menus back. is there an easy way to restore this default panel/top bar arrangement?
[00:35] <formode> flannel, Ah, didn't know.
[00:35] <flyback> I made a 8.04 install but I can't get this freaking inittab replacement figured ourt
[00:35] <flyback> oh support ends next yr?
[00:35] <flyback> GOOD
[00:35] <Flannel> flyback: Only on the desktop.
[00:35] <flyback> this is just a server
[00:35] <jescis> flyback, I'm with you ;)
[00:36] <flyback> first of all the arrogant jack off developers
[00:36] <limitedwisdom> I can't send/receive email - can anyone help? (postfix appears to be configured correctly - but when I do mail -s subject myother@emailaddress - it never shows up).
[00:36] <flyback> decided that even though 2.6.15 has a bug in nfs
[00:36] <flyback> that results in FAIL
[00:36] <flyback> they wouldn't release an update
[00:36] <flyback> so I had to go thru all that hel of trying to compile a new kernel that didn't break ubuntu 6.06 or vmware server
[00:37] <flyback> after 15 yrs in this field
[00:37] <flyback> I am not only sick of it
[00:37] <flyback> I am sick of being alive
[00:37] <danbh_intrepid> flyback: yeah, I think when ubuntu says support, they mean security backports, not bug fixes
[00:37] <flyback> yeah they are M$ lite
[00:38] <Flannel> flyback: please take non-support elsewhere, thanks.
[00:38] <soundcyst> anyone?
[00:38] <flyback> I was waiting for an answer

[00:49] <limitedwisdom> anything - I don't use the gui and I'm king of a n00b. I know my server isn't receiving email (or processing it properly perhaps), so I tried to send an email to my cell phone and it has never been received.

[00:53] <Strife89> Does anyone know how to change the Wrokgroup name in Hardy? I can't seem to find the option anymore.
[00:53] <keepsake> starn: what's mess?
[00:53] <Strife89> *Workgroup
[00:53] <keepsake> Strife89: will "usermod" do the job?
[00:54] <keepsake> Strife89: do a "man usermod"
[00:54] <starn> keepsake: the muti machine emulator in respo's..  kinda like MAME but for consoles....
[00:54] <Strife89> keepsake: I mean, the network workgroup.
[00:55] <s73v3r> Aside from CDs being bad, what are some of the things that would cause segfaults and recursive faults during install?
[00:55] <keepsake> Strife89: in that case, I don't know, sorry
[00:55] <mscottputman> HI!  I'm moving over from Windows to Ubuntu and there's only one thing holding me back.  I used a dual-monitors setup with Windows and cannot get Ubuntu to work properly with it.  It clones easily, but I want it to extend instead.  I have been using "Screens and Graphics" to tweak things, but it hasn't worked.  I'm running on an Intel 845 and the monitor is an HP w17e on Ubuntu Hardy Heron
[00:55] <keepsake> starn: I see a program called kamefu
[00:55] <keepsake> starn: that is a "KDE All Machine Emulator Frontend for Unix"
[00:56] <helltraum> Anyone know why I'd be getting a segmentation fault when requesting .php files via apache2 ?
[00:56] <Strife89> For example, this computer is in workgroup "WORKGROUP", but two Windows PCs I'm trying to access are in "MSHOME" (and yes, I've done it before; I recently clean-installed).
[00:56] <starn> keepsake: i tried it. it did not work... not only that but i am using gnome...
[00:56] <helltraum> I've installed all via ubuntu packages
[00:56] <pan__> wicd or network manager?
[00:56] <keepsake> Strife89: /etc/samba/smb.conf
[00:56] <Strife89> As root, I assume.
[00:57] <Cpudan80> helltraum: apache segfaults or your browser segfaults?
[00:57] <hever> Hi I try to connect to a pc via XDMCP. It works from another pc but not from this one. At the gdm login screen I choose XDMCP chooser. Then I can choose the PC I want to connect to. After clicking connect I'm after some seconds back in the lokal login. Where can I find log files or infomarions ?
[00:57] <keepsake> Strife89: yeah, gedit that as root
[00:57] <keepsake> starn: from experience, many K apps work on Gnome
[00:58] <hever> What else than XDMCP can I use if I want sound to be forwarded ?
[00:58] <starn> keepsake: i know. but i prefer gnome based apps and also like i said i have tried it before it dint work right..
[00:58] <Strife89> keepsake: Do semicolons make it a comment?
[00:59] <Strife89> I'm looking at making Home directories browsable.
[00:59] <keepsake> starn: try looking here http://linux.softpedia.com/downloadTag/MESS+frontend
[00:59] <helltraum> Cpudan80 - I think it's an error with the php5 mod
[00:59] <helltraum> or something
[00:59] <JasonWoof> When some crappy program starts using too much memory, my system starts swapping and running rediculously slowly (e.g. it takes a long time to launch xterm)
[00:59] <helltraum> not sure .. never had this problem before with php5 and apache2
[00:59] <keepsake> Strife89: i think so
[01:00] <JasonWoof> if I wait too long, it gets so slow that I can't use my computer at all, and I have to reboot it
[01:00] <keepsake> Strife89: in the worse case senario, use a pound (#)
[01:00] <AaronMT> Anyone using Ubuntu on an Dell Inspiron 1501?
[01:00] <starn> keepsake: i tried em.. i cannot compile messyfront... i was hoping some one would know where a precompiled one was
[01:00] <Cpudan80> helltraum: yeah - I've got it running (all patched) no segfaults here
[01:00] <JasonWoof> there's gotta be same way to deal with this
[01:00] <JasonWoof> this thing is supposed to multitask
[01:00] <Strife89> keepsake: I want to REMOVE the semicolons. ;-)
[01:00] <JasonWoof> seems to me when the disk is being used, that there is no multitasking

[01:09] <dashnu> that \ was a typo!
[01:09] <keepsake> dashnu: firestarter ends in the wrong slash "\"?
[01:09] <keepsake> oh
[01:09] <dr_willis> dashnu,  i always have to google for sudoers examples to figure it out.. the  manpagges also have examples.. but are a bit complex
[01:09] <dido> hello.how burn mp3 files with k3b.
[01:09] <gbolte> is there a way that I can downgrade the version of alsa that I have
[01:09] <gbolte> ?
[01:10] <dashnu> dr_willis: yea man, I googled how to get firestarter running in my gnome session thats how I came up with what i got
[01:10] <gbolte> I have a feeling that the drivers that I am using are to blame for my lack of spdif out
[01:10] <HawkInCa> fellas what is the safest usb wireless card to buy in order to work with WPA and Ubuntu Hardy??
[01:10] <darren__> Hi could some one please help i have rtl8187 usb wireless driver installed with ndiswrapper, it shows my wifi and also the strength i can connect to non encrppred but not my router with wep has any one else had the same problem
[01:10] <dashnu> Still asks me for a pass at login though
[01:10] <dr_willis> dashnu,   I just dont worry about the firewall much. :)
[01:11] <chubs_> gbolte, dpkg --force-downgrade -i
[01:11] <SiMeoN> on
[01:11] <chubs_> dpkg --force-downgrade -i oldpackage.deb
[01:11] <gbolte> chubs_, but I have to have the actual deb files for that to work though right?
[01:12] <HawkInCa> darren is your wireless WEP or WPA?
[01:12] <dr_willis> dashnu,  that line looks wrong. with the ALL=NOPASSWD bit..    i thought that was saying all commands , didentneed a password.. but as i said. I alwyas have to reread the sudoers man pages and guides.  when i mess with it
[01:12] <chubs_> gbolte, right, but they shouldn't be tough to find
[01:12] <dashnu> dr_willis: its a nice front end for iptables... easy enough for the average joe
[01:12] <gbolte> wonder if there is any chance the old ones are still in the repos
[01:12] <dashnu> dr_willis: i read over the man again and see what I come up with
[01:12] <dashnu> thx!
[01:12] <darren__> HawkInCa, i know my router is wep with the code the wifi adapter i have no idear
[01:13] <HawkInCa> darren i had the same problem but its because your wireless is not compatible with WPA.
[01:13] <darren__> HawkInCa, the code is right it just wont connect
[01:13] <harryjr> macd: $ http://pastie.org/272413 -- i have work and home boxes. work is behind firewall, thus i am reverse connecting to home, on port 22222. ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub on home is in ~/.ssh/authorized_keys ..
[01:13] <HawkInCa> darren i had same issue
[01:14] <dr_willis> dashnu,  im thinking you are missing some  (   ) also in there.
[01:14] <macd> harryjr, yes its pasted into authorized_keys wrong, the whitespace error tells all
[01:15] <macd> verify there is none leading or trailing
[01:15] <dashnu> dr_willis: i think your right... I'll let you know what I come up with
[01:15] <dr_willis> dashnu,  i found a web site that had man pages. the  man page in  the browser was a bit easier to read. due to the code/examples and stuff being differnt fonts.
[01:15] <HawkInCa> has anyone gotten a wpa wireless to work with Hardy?
[01:15] <darren__> HawkInCa, ok if i use the driver from aircrack it connects but does not show signel strength, and if i use the ndiswrapper it shows signel strength but does not connect so i think its compatible
[01:16] <Flannel> dr_willis, dashnu: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/
[01:16] <HawkInCa> darren yeah i had the exact same issue.  i decided to get new wireless card that is compatible with ubuntu hardy
[01:16] <darren__> HawkInCa, ok thanks for the advice i will have to look into it
[01:16] <uzzerbook> hello, how to disable autostart of some daemon?
[01:17] <Flannel> !bum | uzzerbook

[01:17] <harryjr> dull.
[01:18] <egroeg> hey all
[01:18] <ethana2> http://lmedinas.livejournal.com/9117.html  --I'm going to check package status
[01:18] <uzzerbook> Flannel, thx... but it doesn't work. I'd liket to disable nessusd daemon, which isn't in services or bum list
[01:19] <^Phantom^> hi :)
[01:19] <ethana2> ok, i have 0.81, going to see if this is on its way into hardy yet
[01:19] <uzzerbook> ..
[01:19] <^Phantom^> what version of xserver does 7.10 have :D
[01:20] <egroeg> if alsa will not work is opensound good enough
[01:20] <uzzerbook> ..
[01:21] <macd> harryjr, pretty odd, does your authorized keys file start with ssh-rsa or dsa, and end with login@computer ? or are you pasting a pgp key that says begin block end
[01:22] <harryjr> ssh-rsa
[01:22] <helltraum> Anyone know why I'd be getting a seg fault when requesting php files via apache2 ?
[01:22] <harryjr> it looks all fine.
[01:22] <helltraum> I've installed all the packages from the repositories ..
[01:22] <macd> the logs seem to indicate its parsing something else
[01:22] <macd> harryjr, look @ lines 5 and 35
[01:23] <uzzerbook> How to disable nessusd autostart with system?
[01:23] <cilkay> helltraum: Do you have a PHP accelerator/byte-code optimizer on that system?
[01:23] <harryjr> macd: there is only one line, with the given key.
[01:23] <dr_willis> !sysv
[01:24] <helltraum> I don't think so
[01:24] <harryjr> hm.
[01:24] <harryjr> but, why does it think it is rsa1, i suppose it is 2?!
[01:25] <macd> uzzerbook, sudo update-rc.d -r nessusd
[01:25] <starn> J-n: i ran ./configure and make and make install... did you happen to see how to run this?
[01:25] <helltraum> cilkay, any other ideas why I'm getting this or how to fix it
[01:25] <helltraum> ?
[01:25] <egroeg> anybody want to take on a no sound problem, after kernel upgrade
[01:26] <danbh_intrepid1> egroeg: try alsa
[01:26] <macd> harryjr, it looks like its not even parsing the right file, lines 5,36 look like a PGP key, its weird.
[01:26] <JackCSG> Does anyone know if NVidia's 8800GTS will be supported in 8.10?
[01:26] <helltraum> They are saying in apache that the wrong package has been installed ... I don't buy that for a second
[01:26] <uzzerbook> macd, looks like it's gonna remove nessusd completely, isn't it?
[01:26] <helltraum> I'm sure other people would've been complaining if that was the case
[01:26] <harryjr> i have never in my life used pgp
[01:26] <macd> JackCSG, the nvidia binary driver supports it
[01:26] <DaLeecher> anyone here use Xbox XBMC with Ubuntu? I am having filemanager lag when exploring directories on my samba server from the xbox. ANyone know how to solve this problem?
[01:26] <macd> uzzerbook, it kills the symlinkes in rc#.d/*
[01:27] <JackCSG> Macd, Aye but I'm Sol for Beryl as advanced features won'
[01:27] <uzzerbook> macd, ok I'll try it, thx
[01:27] <egroeg> alsa's not working
[01:27] <JackCSG> t turn on
[01:27] <^Phantom^> heh, installing this ubuntu is being harder than it could be since there is no way i can possibly see the next, back, cancel buttons on the install window lol
[01:27] <cilkay> helltraum: No. I attended a presentation on Drupal site optimization where the speaker casually mentioned that he had a cron job that that restarted Apache because the PHP optimizer that he had installed to speed things up would segfault on certain code. It just further reinforced my views on PHP.
[01:27] <danbh_intrepid1> JackCSG: yes
[01:27] <macd> JackCSG, Im pretty sure hardware accel works I have a 8600GT
[01:28] <dr_willis> ^Phantom^,  use alt-mouse click to move windows aroundif they are stuck/offscreen perhaps

[01:28] <polishpaul_> Hey guys, i have a permissions issue -- I have a process running that tries to run another, but in the logs it fails to run killpgrp. The question is, how do i know exactly what user is running it? In the logs it looks like sendsize[pid#]. I can't figure out what permissions i need to set... any pointers would be helpful
[01:28] <^Phantom^> heh i have to enable some kind of guest additions system in order to be able to go higher resolution on my ubuntu machine
[01:29] <^Phantom^> >_>
[01:29] <dr_willis> ^Phantom^,  vmware/virtualbox ?
[01:29] <JackCSG> macd, I read that the July Nvidia driver started to support the 8600gt for linux,  Would I have to wait on a similar update or should I look at a new graphics card?
[01:29] <J-n> starn there is a guide!! http://advancemame.sourceforge.net/doc-install.html
[01:29] <^Phantom^> virtualbox :D
[01:29] <J-n> starn and their forums seem pretty active

[01:30] <davidguest> how do i open port 6777
[01:30] <edes> oi
[01:30] <danbh_intrepid1> egroeg: try a different device

[01:30] <JackCSG> Danbh, I'll check out the newest alpha, thanks
[01:30] <Azazel-A2> davidguest, closed incomming out outgoing?

[01:30] <pan__> how do i disconnect from the network using console
[01:30] <egroeg> device is greyed out
[01:30] <pan__> using iwconfig
[01:31] <Azazel-A2> maybe your isp blocks it
[01:31] <^Phantom^> i am not going to pay ms even a half of a poenny to be able to run another os inside of my xp
[01:31] <danbh_intrepid1> davidguest: can you pastebin sudo iptables -L

[01:31] <^Phantom^> so reinstalling it heh
[01:31] <Azazel-A2> davdidguest did you nmap local host and your hostname?
[01:32] <n3glv> ello
[01:33] <^Phantom^> i read the entire wrong guide for going above 800x600 heh
[01:33] <n3glv> nice

[01:33] <^Phantom^> i mean n3glv
[01:33] <n3glv> I'm useing gOS beta3, (hardy)
[01:33] <^Phantom^> i want to try and run mac os 9 in vb

[01:33] <^Phantom^> :D
[01:34] <egroeg> alsa project seems down too
[01:34] <J-n> I really like how smothly XP seems to run under Vbox and Ubuntu
[01:34] <cilkay> I added preseed/file=preseed.cfg after the "--" in the "install" stanza of syslinux.cfg on my USB key. When I boot from the key, it seems to ignore the preseed.cfg file and proceeds to do a normal netinstall. What am I missing?
[01:34] <n3glv> I have most of it working, but an issue or two left
[01:35] <^Phantom^> dr_willis, can you please help me with the display thing?
[01:35] <J-n> if i ever need to use XP for a class i always use Vbox and load up a copy of XP through that, only for the occasional game i cant play through wine do i load up my XP partition these days. lol
[01:35] <^Phantom^> that is, after I finish installing the thing :D
[01:35] <Toxicity> #ubuntu-es
[01:36] <cilkay> I created that preseed file by doing debconf-get-selections --installer > preseed.cfg so that I can use the existing state of a machine to preseed a fresh install.
[01:36] <dr_willis> ^Phantom^,  all i did was install virtialbox, installed the os.. made vrtalbox  mount the guestos.iso cd. and ran the whateveritwas.run script on the cd.
[01:36] <keepsake> J-n: do DX games run better in Vbox than on ubuntu itself?
[01:36] <n3glv> so, how can I loose the gnome power thing that's in the tray and also load kpowersave (wich works for amd power stepping)
[01:36] <J-n> keepsake depends on the game
[01:36] <egroeg> should i try to rebuild the alsa drivers/
[01:36] <cilkay> This is leading to a pxeboot netinstall where I'll use one machine as the template for all the other machines on the network.
[01:36] <keepsake> J-n: what do you play in VBox?
[01:37] <J-n> keepsake some oldschool games, like Magic the Gathering:shandalar and Navyfield and some other stuff no one's ever heard of lol
[01:37] <keepsake> J-n: XD can't you just wine those?
[01:37] <keepsake> J-n: I was thinking more in the lines of CS and stuff
[01:38] <^Phantom^> i didn't know that i needed to do the guest additions thing for that
[01:38] <Nutzebahn> Hello.
[01:38] <n3glv> I'll have to look at vbox, if it can run my DeLorme nav program, and/or my tv tuner, I'll have no more need ot M$
[01:38] <J-n> keepsake sadly, many older, crappy games were written so badly that they barely work on XP let alone through wine lol
[01:38] <^Phantom^> i was doing sudos and crap and messed it up to where the os couldn't boot anymore cause of display errors
[01:38] <J-n> keepsake i heard CS works great in wine
[01:38] <keepsake> J-n: hahahaha okay; do you think games like CS would run better in a vbox?
[01:38] <ehtom> n3glv: it sounds like those things need hardware access...
[01:39] <sivel> hell
[01:39] <ehtom> you can't run games in any virtualization at the moment
[01:39] <sivel> hello
[01:39] <ehtom> unless you have some very expensive and unusual hardware
[01:39] <J-n> keepsake but i dont play counterstrike, the problem with most modern games is you need good video support
[01:39] <J-n> ehtom i play several games in Vbox
[01:39] <ehtom> they must be pre-2000 then
[01:39] <^Phantom^> i need to find my win98 install cd
[01:39] <ehtom> i.e. no direct3d
[01:39] <n3glv> yeah, would have to see if the damn usb gps is supported, most unix it's not. soemone patched the kernel tree a while back to make some UPS work, and that trashed the gps
[01:39] <^Phantom^> so i can vb win98 too :D
[01:39] <keepsake> J-n: okay, thanks
[01:40] <ehtom> n3glv: a vm won't have access to your hardware unfortunately
[01:40] <J-n> ehtom Navyfield is not pre '00 but the graphics are.. other nongraphically intense games can be played as well
[01:40] <sivel> anyone know the fix for 8.04 not reporting the correct cpu frequency?
[01:40] <n3glv> yeah, I'm dual booting vista...
[01:40] <ehtom> n3glv: it may be possible to do some hack, but you'de need to know how to program kernel modules
[01:40] <keepsake> sivel: what cpu do you have?
[01:41] <^Phantom^>  i have my win98 product key stored with the win98 install cd <_<
[01:41] <sivel> a quad 6600
[01:41] <cilkay> sivel: How do you know your CPU isn't slowing down to save energy? Intel's SpeedStep does that.
[01:41] <ehtom> n3glv: and if the windows hardware drivers use dma, you're screwed
[01:41] <^Phantom^> otherwise i'd just d/l an iso
[01:41] <^Phantom^> heh
[01:41] <sivel> they are @ 3.02 G, but ubuntu reports stock 2.4G
[01:41] <keepsake> sivel: you might need a 64bit ubuntu to enable the quadcore
 Processor:[2-Intel] Clock:[1986MHz] Cache:[0KB] Memory:[985/2048MB (48.10%)] <UPP>
[01:41] <keepsake> sivel: does it report that you have 4 cores?
[01:41] <sivel> yes it does report 4 cores
[01:42] <n3glv> the gps uses a cypress/m8 or something
[01:42] <^Phantom^> i upgraded my ram from 1gig to 2gig on friday night :D
[01:42] <keepsake> sivel: are they oc'ed or anything?
[01:42] <egroeg> anybody know a channel devoted to linux sound
[01:42] <sivel> are there any commands i can issue to see what they are at?
[01:42] <sivel> yes
[01:42] <sivel> to 3 gh
[01:42] <keepsake> sivel: did you OC in windows?
[01:42] <sooki> i recently installed a second drive and put windows on it, and got my grub back and all that, and now i'm adding windows to the grub list, but all the ubuntu ones in the list use hd(0,0), how can i tell which one to use for my second windows drive?
[01:42] <^Phantom^>  so i now get even better performance than i did with 1gig :D
[01:42] <JasonWoof> how do I stop my system from locking up when a buggy program uses too much memory? (or how do I get it un-locked)
[01:43] <sivel> nope, through the bios, and windows reports them correctly
[01:43] <JasonWoof> linux multitasking doesn't seem to work when the disk is being used heavily (eg during swapping)
[01:43] <keepsake> sivel: the default is "cat /proc/cpuinfo"
[01:43] <kwame> Hi, in Fedora I had /etc/sysconfig/iptables file where I specified the iptables rules for my box, is there an equivalent in Ubuntu?
[01:43] <sivel> ok, ill try real quick
[01:44] <tonyyarusso> egroeg: if there is one, it would likely involve the word "alsa".
[01:44] <^Phantom^> dr_
[01:44] <polishpaul_> Hey guys, i have a permissions issue -- I have a process running that tries to run another, but in the logs it fails to run killpgrp due to permissions denied. How do i know what user it is that the process is running? This is amanda backups, logs say "sendsize[pid#] running /urs/lib/amanda/killpgrp failed permissions denied". I have group permissions for the backup user set... help..
[01:44] <Azazel-A2> kwame, you want to configure the iptables manually?
[01:44] <sivel> ok, heres a line of interest Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU    Q6600  @ 2.40GHz
[01:45] <cilkay> sivel: It looks like you've overclocked it. cpuinfo is probably asking the CPU, "Can you tell me about yourself?" and the CPU just responds with what it was told to say from the factory. If you've overclocked it, that doesn't change the cpuid burned onto the silicon.
[01:45] <^Phantom^> can someone please guide me through the guest additions display driver install thingy so i don't totally fuck up ubuntu again?
[01:45] <kwame> Azazel-A2: well, yes, I mean, I know how to specify rules in the command line, but want to have a place where I have the rules when I reboot my box
[01:45] <Seeker`> !language | ^Phantom^
[01:45] <sivel> oh, got you
[01:45] <sivel> thank you
[01:45] <keepsake> sivel: eh?
[01:45] <^Phantom^> but let me reboot it pls
[01:45] <keepsake> sivel: does it show the right freq?
[01:45] <^Phantom^> °·.Seeker`.·° will do :D
[01:46] <cilkay> JasonWoof: PATA IDE drive? If so, understandable. IDE isn't a very good interface and will block.
[01:46] <sivel> yes it shows the right stock info
[01:46] <chetnick> guys, my system crashed yesterday, it looks like some files got corupted. i am getting this errors when i log in GUI.  "The panel could not register with the bonobo-activation server (error code: 3) and will exit." and "Nautilus can't be used now, due to an unexpected error." How can i reinstall or repair gnome?
[01:46] <keepsake> sivel: does it show the correct overclocked speeds too?
[01:47] <sivel> is there a way to adjust powernowd to be more "aggressive" for lack of a better word?
[01:47] <sivel> no, not the oc speed
[01:47] <Azazel-A2> kwame, can't help ya.  I run firestarter on my boxes for ubuntu
[01:47] <sivel> on another note, all of the sudden every key i hit creates an annoying beep
[01:48] <keepsake> sivel: like a system beep?
[01:48] <sivel> yup, exactly
[01:48] <sivel> from out of nowhere
[01:48] <^Phantom^> one of the main reasons i'm vbing ubuntu is cause my friend recommended it to me, and cause i read that there are some good open-source video editors for linux :D
[01:48] <spukisputnik> sh: infobash: not found
[01:48] <keepsake> sivel: for powernowd, look at "man powernowd", for the speakers, try "modprobe -r pcspkr"
[01:49] <sivel> ok, thank you very much
[01:49] <^Phantom^>  k now i am booting up linux :D
[01:49] <pan03242> anyone know how to disconnect from network from console?
[01:49] <danbh_intrepid1> !iptables > kwame
[01:49] <tonyyarusso> pan03242: Use ifconfig to disable the interface.
[01:49] <danbh_intrepid1> pan03242: look into ifdown
[01:50] <polishpaul_> kwane, are you trying to have iptables load on boot with your rules?
[01:50] <DaLeecher> anyone here use Xbox XBMC with Ubuntu? I am having filemanager lag when exploring directories on my samba server from the xbox. ANyone know how to solve this problem?
[01:50] <JasonWoof> cilkay: Dunno anything about PATA, but I assume my internal HD is plugged in with IDE
[01:50] <JasonWoof> cilkay: I've got a dell inspiron 5100
[01:50] <Azazel-A2> chetnick, any responsed yet?
[01:50] <^Phantom^> k how do i find out what version of xserver came with my ubuntu installation?
[01:50] <keepsake> sivel: to disable pcspkr at startup, add "blacklist pcspkr" to "/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist"
[01:50] <JasonWoof> cilkay: lspci shows an IDE bus
[01:51] <JasonWoof> cilkay: lspci does not output PATA
[01:51] <cilkay> JasonWoof: How much RAM?
[01:51] <JasonWoof> cilkay: 500MB
[01:51] <JasonWoof> cilkay: I mostly don't run graphical desktops, so it should be more than enough
[01:51] <danbh_intrepid1> ^Phantom^: how about apt-cache show xserver-xorg
[01:51] <vitanovus> hey guys
[01:51] <cilkay> JasonWoof: What does top report when your disk is thrashing and the system isn't responsive?
[01:51] <J-n> ^Phantom^ i fear virtual box may not be a great final solution for you, if you wish to do video editing. :(  I am not sure if you'll be able to get much, if any, preformance from your video card in that department, as the ability for the guest OS to access hardware is very limited :(
[01:52] <tonyyarusso> ^Phantom^: apt-cache policy xserver-xorg should work
[01:52] <JasonWoof> cilkay: can I get around the IDE blocking thing with the kernel CONFIG_PREEMPT=y ?
[01:52] <chetnick> Azazel-A2, nobody
[01:52] <sivel> actually its only happening in xchat
[01:52] <JasonWoof> cilkay: I can't run top, I can't even get an exterm open
[01:52] <Azazel-A2> ok..  also wb davidguest
[01:52] <sivel> not in the terminal, or anything else
[01:52] <cilkay> JasonWoof: That isn't normal at all.
[01:52] <davidguest> still having bother dont no whats going on
[01:52] <davidguest> grr dam irc
[01:52] <vitanovus> is there a way to change the items in my Places menu
[01:52] <kwame> danbh_intrepid1: thanks
[01:52] <JasonWoof> cilkay: if I catch it early, while my system is still functional (though unreasonably slow) I see a process with 1GB of virtual memory
[01:53] <^Phantom^> also, can I please get some guidance using this "guest additions" thing to get better resolution in ubuntu
[01:53] <^Phantom^> ?
[01:53] <^Phantom^> *
[01:53] <JasonWoof> or whatever, virtual memory that's going up fast
[01:53] <Azazel-A2> ok, what isn't starting?  you try apt-get autoremove offending package && apt-get install offending package
[01:53] <pan03242> sudo ifdown ath0
[01:53] <pan03242> ifdown: interface ath0 not configured
[01:53] <pan03242> ?
[01:53] <halycon> hey everyone I am trying to configure Cairo Dock and I cant figure out how to remove sub docks
[01:53] <Reformer81> Am I able to burn the CD image to a blank DVD disc without problems?
[01:53] <pan03242> sudo ifdown ath0
[01:53] <Reformer81> I can't find a DVD iso anywhere.
[01:53] <JasonWoof> cilkay: it's generally been my experience with linux
[01:53] <Azazel-A2> davidguest did you get my suggestion apt-get install lokkit?
[01:53] <JasonWoof> I remember being much happier on my old mac when I turned CONFIG_PREEMPT on
[01:53] <chetnick> Azazel-A2, E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
[01:53] <tonyyarusso> pan03242: ifdown is a shortcut that will only work if the interface has an entry in /etc/network/interfaces.  For unconfigured interfaces you can still use 'sudo ifconfig ath0 down'.
[01:54] <davidguest> yeah i tried that
[01:54] <davidguest> grrr
[01:54] <Azazel-A2> ok try that first
[01:54] <BigBear> how do i change the I/O Scehdular
[01:54] <pan03242> k
[01:54] <pan03242> thx
[01:54] <davidguest> rno idea what the heck up at least windows firewal is easy 2 change
[01:54] <cilkay> JasonWoof: Not mine. I run 512M virtual machines but you have to stay on top of what you're running on them. The problem looks like you're hitting swap and that disk thrashing isn't the problem. It's the symptom.
[01:54] <JasonWoof> cilkay: is thrashing supposed to kill all multitasking?
[01:55] <JasonWoof> I think I aught to be able to use my computer anyway
[01:55]  * ^Phantom^ looks at the screen with odd face
[01:55] <dumbdum> Hi, Google earth doesn;t appear in my package manager! What is the command to install it please?
[01:55] <JasonWoof> at least a little, I just want a few cycles to start up an xterm and run killall or something
[01:55] <Azazel-A2> chetnick, what happened?
[01:55] <JackCSG> you can download the Tar files off of their website
[01:55] <^Phantom^> "W: Unable to locate package xserver-org"
[01:55] <spx2> what is portmap used for ? can I kill it without major consequences ?
[01:55] <cilkay> JasonWoof: If you've run out of real memory, it sure will kill responsiveness. It's not killing multitasking per se. I'll bet if you could get top going on that, you'd see the load average would be very high and many processes waiting for CPU attention.
[01:56] <cilkay> JasonWoof: That makes for a very unpleasant and unresponsive system. Add more RAM.
[01:56] <^Phantom^> anyway
[01:56] <franki^> something went horribly wrong with my graphical display(log in sound but blank screen) now running from a live cd, can i 'repair' somehow, or should i completely reinstall?
[01:56] <Cpudan80> dumbdum: download it from google directly
[01:56] <^Phantom^> i want the higher resolution first
[01:56] <keepsake> spx2: ubuntu package list says: Portmap is a server that converts RPC (Remote Procedure Call) program numbers into DARPA protocol port numbers. It must be running in order to make RPC calls.
[01:56] <JasonWoof> cilkay: nope, when I've gotten top open, I see one process hogging memory, and the CPU not doing much
[01:56] <cilkay> JasonWoof: What is that process?
[01:56] <Cpudan80> dumbdum: the install command is sh <file you downloaded>
[01:56] <arooni> i have ubuntu hardy + sound blaset live value card.  i can only hear audio out of my front speakers (and not the rear ones).  on my card there is separate output for front/audio speakers.... everything is turned up in alsa, and i have tried restarting... ideas?
[01:56] <cilkay> JasonWoof: and what is the load average?
[01:56] <JasonWoof> cilkay: it varies, since I tend not to run such programs again
[01:56] <JasonWoof> cilkay: last time it was the thunar-file-manager thing from xfce
[01:57] <tonyyarusso> spx2: Required for NFS or NIS, among other things.  For normal desktop use though it's not even installed by default, so you could in those cases.
[01:57] <dumbdum> But it downloads as a "bin" and I dont know what to do with it :(
[01:57] <JackCSG> dumbdum, go into properties
[01:57] <JasonWoof> cilkay: I had a 21600x21600 pixel png in my home folder and it was trying to make an icon from it. apparently by decompressing the entire thing into memory
[01:57] <dumbdum> properties for what?
[01:57] <JasonWoof> (which would take about 1.3GB for 3 bytes/pixel)
[01:57] <cilkay> JasonWoof: NO WONDER! :)
[01:57] <JackCSG> dumbdum, of the bin file
[01:58] <dumbdum> Ok!
[01:58] <JasonWoof> cilkay: so yes, my software screwed up. but I don't think one buggy program running as my normal user should be able to effectively crash my computer by trying to allocate too much ram
[01:58] <Reformer81> Am I able to successfully burn the Ubuntu CD image to a DVD disc?
[01:58] <cilkay> JasonWoof: You want a refund or something?
[01:58] <keepsake> JasonWoof: why in the world do you have a png that big?
[01:59] <cilkay> What are you whining to me about? :)
[01:59] <JackCSG> dumbdum, then go to permissions, and check 'allow excecuting file as a program'
[01:59] <JasonWoof> I think linux is capable of multitasking enough to give a few cycles to my WM and xterm so I can fix it without powercycling
[01:59] <danbh_intrepid1> cilkay: please dont troll
[01:59] <Azazel-A2> reformer81, what os?
[01:59] <JasonWoof> keepsake: I forget. now I'm afraid to look at it
[01:59] <cilkay> danbh_intrepid1: Huh? I think you have it backwards.
[01:59] <keepsake> JasonWoof: haha, i wouldn't doubt that
[01:59] <JasonWoof> seems to be a high-res map
[01:59] <polishpaul_> how do i find out what user ran a process?
[02:00] <Azazel-A2> ps aux | grep -i 'process name'
[02:00] <dumbdum> i get a message that the file is corrupt, so I will download it again, sorry
[02:00] <Reformer81> Azazel-A2: Uhm... I mean, if I burn the CD image to a blank DVD disc, can I still boot it normally?
[02:00] <cilkay> JasonWoof: My son used a Celeron 366 with 196M of RAM for 3 years. It was slow but usable.
[02:00] <cilkay> But he never attempted to open a 21k x 21k PNG.
[02:00] <^Phantom^> k it won't let me install the guest additions thing
[02:00] <JasonWoof> cilkay: sure, my last laptop had 128MB of ram. that was enough for most things
[02:01] <cilkay> JasonWoof: Anyway, good luck. I'm done. Nothing to see here. I'm moving on.
[02:01] <J-n> ^phantom^ getting an error message?
[02:01] <Azazel-A2> yes, you can boot the cd off the cd-drive as a live eval
[02:01] <^Phantom^> "program must be run with administrator privelages"
[02:02] <keepsake> ^Phantom^: sudo! gksudo!
[02:02] <JasonWoof> cilkay: so you don't think there's any way to recover a computer that's started thrashing?
[02:02] <^Phantom^> is there any way i can run it as an admin
[02:02] <keepsake> alt+f2
[02:02] <Azazel-A2> reoformer81, my question was wer eyou buring dvd from windows pc, or linux manchine
[02:02] <cilkay> JasonWoof: Kill the offending process.
[02:02] <Jack_Sparrow> !gksudo
[02:02] <keepsake> ^Phantom^: if it's a GUI program, use "gksudo <program>"
[02:02] <keepsake> ^Phantom^: if it's a console program, use "sudo <program>"
[02:02] <cilkay> JasonWoof: And please stop pinging me. There are 1236 other people in the channel too.
[02:02] <hal_v2> With the program rarcrack, how do I get the password which has been cracked? The xml file it created doesn't seem to show anything.
[02:02] <macd> JasonWoof, magic+sysreq http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/457
[02:03] <cilkay> 1235 not counting you.
[02:03] <JasonWoof> cilkay: thanks for chatting. just curious if you actually had an answer you wanted to slip in at the last minute
[02:03] <^Phantom^> it's the virtualbox guest additions thing...
[02:04] <krazy-h> Hi there
[02:04] <keepsake> ^Phantom^: you're doing all this because ubuntu can't find the proper monitor resolution?
[02:04] <cilkay> JasonWoof: Cheers.
[02:05] <macd> keepsake, its a good idea to install the virtualbox guest additions anyways, mouse integration, flexible display resizing
[02:05] <keepsake> macd: okay, i didn't realise he wanted to change it in virtualbox =P
[02:05] <^Phantom^> i'm doing this because I want to be able to match the vbox fullscreen with my 1440x900 display
[02:05] <hal_v2> With the program rarcrack, how do I get the password which has been cracked? The xml file it created doesn't seem to show anything.
[02:06] <macd> ^Phantom^, anyways, Click applications --> file manager (super user mode) --> enter your pass --> run the vbox guest install
[02:07] <J-n> ^phantom^ at what step are you? Have you mounted the Guest additons ISO into your drive yet? If you do not have premission to run a program that is text based use sudo program.name graphically based program gksudo program.name
[02:07] <^Phantom^> there is no file manager (super user mode) thing there...
[02:08] <keepsake> ^Phantom^: press Alt+F2, then type in "gksudo nautilus"
[02:10] <J-n> !love
[02:10] <dumbdum> Hi, ive downloaded Google earth.bin from the net, how do I install it?
[02:10] <^Phantom^> the additions thing doesn't show up in the new window <_<
[02:10] <Flannel> !googleearth | dumbdum
[02:10] <Flannel> dumbdum: Use the one in medibuntu
[02:11] <OrangeKyo> the scroll bar on my touchpad stopped working, is there a quick way to reset the device instead of rebooting?
[02:11] <locainex> hi, is there a channel for playstation ubuntu?
[02:11] <dumb_idiot> <-- that's how I feel right now
[02:11] <dumbdum> Ok, how do I do that please, (As you can see im very new to Linux!)
[02:11] <helltraum> I've just done a sudo apt-get remove php5 -- now when I sudo apt-get install php5 .. it says it's done .. but there's nothing at all in /usr/bin
[02:12] <helltraum> Anyone know what I'm doing wrong here ?
[02:12] <IndyGunFreak> dumbdum, i'm installing googleearth from medibuntu now... its easy to do, just follow the inst
[02:12] <Flannel> helltraum: You want to install php5-cli
[02:12] <gaintsura> Ubuntu host, ubuntu guest via vbox, how do I set it up so that the ubuntu guest can be accessed by the host as a hostname?
[02:12] <keepsake> dumb_idiot: go to the folder that contains the Virtual Box program you need to run
[02:13] <helltraum> Ok .. thanks
[02:13] <dumbdum> ??
[02:13] <keepsake> ^Phantom^: what i said to dumb_idiot =P
[02:13] <^Phantom^> <_<
[02:13] <keepsake> ^Phantom^: figure out the folder name in full, and then the name of the application
[02:13] <keepsake> ^Phantom^: so you can run the program in console with sudo
[02:13] <keepsake> ^Phantom^: i mean gksudo
[02:14] <^Phantom^> it's mounted as a drive >_>
[02:14] <dumbdum> How do I install Google earth from medibuntu?
[02:14] <keepsake> ^Phantom^: okay, just open a file browser
[02:14] <keepsake> ^Phantom^: browse to it
[02:14] <keepsake> ^Phantom^: and see what it says at the top
[02:14] <keepsake> ^Phantom^: under location
[02:15] <keepsake> ^Phantom^: if you don't see location, click the page with the pencil under back
[02:15] <Flannel> dumbdum: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu  I suggest the "individual package" method, but either will work fine.
[02:15] <acrousey> i forget this: when burning a downloaded iso, what is the best speed to burn it to a disk at?
[02:15] <^Phantom^> OH i get it now
[02:15] <^Phantom^> J-n helped me get it
[02:15] <keepsake> ^Phantom^: haha okay
[02:15] <Flannel> dumbdum: also, if you're following the individual package thing, don't go to /pool/ just go here: http://packages.medibuntu.org/  its easier to find that way
[02:16] <acrousey> i know i don't want to go at max speed
[02:16] <acrousey> isn't 16x good or should i go slower?
[02:16] <keepsake> acrousey: what's wrong with max speed?
[02:17] <acrousey> keepsake: I think i remember there being errors going at max
[02:17] <J-n> ^phantom^ it's how i started using ubuntu as well.. i realized that the drivers that VBOX forces ubuntu to use for video weren't what i wanted to be using. So one day i brokedown and installed ubuntu on a spare partition.. then i re partitioned my drive to give ubuntu more space, and now XP resides on a small, rarely used partition.. and i use Vbox from ubuntu to run XP stuff lol
[02:17] <keepsake> acrousey: oh, then lower it a notch or two
[02:17] <keepsake> acrousey: what kind of disc is it?
[02:17] <acrousey> keepsake: cd-r
[02:17] <J-n> acrousey only if you've got a cheap disk.
[02:17] <filsuf> Apple become America's most admired company
[02:18] <filsuf> Microsoft is OUT
[02:18] <J-n> apple? nah.. probally google for most
[02:18] <keepsake> acrousey: what are you burning onto the cd? (music/application/movie/etc?)
[02:18] <filsuf> and no other tech company in there ... nothing Linux for sure
[02:18] <J-n> though even google isnt always nice
[02:18] <filsuf> http://money.cnn.com/magazines/fortune/mostadmired/2008/index.html
[02:18] <acrousey> ubuntu
[02:18] <acrousey> for friends
[02:18] <acrousey> like a live cd
[02:19] <keepsake> acrousey: Burn at top speed, but verify the disk.
[02:19] <acrousey> how do i verify it?
[02:19] <keepsake> acrousey: There should be an option in your burning software.
[02:19] <filsuf> ubuntu is nice once you are bored being a linux hacker
[02:19] <acrousey> keepsake: i'm using brasero
[02:19] <acrousey> ok
[02:19] <nabcore> So... will 8.10 be shipping with the Firefox Eula pop-up or will they switch to IceCat? Such a popup will be a real pain for live cd users
[02:19] <Flannel> dumbdum: That page has been updated with the simpler instructions (the wiki page)
[02:19] <acrousey> keepsake: i'll look for it
[02:19] <Flannel> nabcore: #ubuntu-offtopic would be the place to talk about that
[02:19] <Meerkat> MS will never be out. You may not use it, but many businesses etc rely on it. I am even bound to it professionally.
[02:19] <J-n> filsuf  google is a tech company... at number 4...
[02:20] <filsuf> yeah
[02:20] <filsuf> google is a new evil
[02:20] <JackCSG> filsuf, agreed
[02:20] <keepsake> acrousey: Tools -> Check Integrity after it's been burned
[02:20] <filsuf> google's phyton sucks big time
[02:20] <filsuf> but people still use it like they use visual-basic
[02:20] <acrousey> alright
[02:21] <J-n> filsuf and how many people really know much about Canonical or other Open source providers?
[02:21] <Flannel> filsuf, J-n, JackCSG: please take the non-support discussions to #ubuntu-offtopic, thanks.
[02:21] <orethrius> More than previously.  ;)
[02:21] <JackCSG> flannel, sorry
[02:21] <J-n> Flannel you are right sorry.
[02:21] <filsuf> many windows user also dont know who wrote MS Word or MS Excel
[02:21] <filsuf> they'd just say Bill Gates wrote the softwares
[02:22] <orethrius> Ah, my bad, just trying to catch up with Jenda.  To the off-topic room!
[02:22] <^Phantom^> now how can get those cool desktop effects to work?
[02:22] <filsuf> many Apple user also wouldnt know who that Woz is
[02:22] <halycon> Does everyone know why I get a "wrong architecture" error message everytime I try to install something from a debian package?
[02:22] <halycon> *anyone
[02:22] <droopsta915> when i installed it asked me ifknew the  moitor type and i said no, I got a new monitor now, (Is there a way to pick a monitor type now)?
[02:22] <keepsake> ^Phantom^: install "Advanced Desktop Effects Settings (ccsm)" in add/remove applications
[02:22] <JackCSG> Halycon, Are you using 64 or 32 bit?
[02:23] <J-n> ^phantom^ you may not be able to get them to work using virtualbox
[02:23] <filsuf> anybody tried to play 'Muslim Massacre' ?
[02:23] <filsuf> using wine maybe
[02:23] <keepsake> then in System -> Preferences -> Appearance -> Visual Effects to Normal/Extra
[02:23] <halycon> JackCSG, it is a 32 bit machine
[02:23] <^Phantom^> thank you much keepsake
[02:24] <JackCSG> Halycon, What's the architecture of file your are installing?  Make sure they match
[02:24] <keepsake> np
[02:24] <halycon> JackCSG, I got the same error messages for Skype, AcetoneISO2 and now for mdic
[02:24] <droopsta915> does it matter if ubuntu doesnt know what type of monitor i use?
[02:25] <bnovc> is there a repository somewhere with ventrilo server?
[02:25] <JackCSG> Halycon, are you using Ubuntu and trying to download the Debian versions of the packages?
[02:25] <IndyGunFreak> droopsta915: probably not, whats it say, Plug N Play or something like that?
[02:26] <halycon> JackCSG, yeah some programs only seem to have a debian installer
[02:26] <JackCSG> Halycon, what version are you using?
[02:26] <gandalfcome> I have ubuntu running on asus eee pc 901. and I tried to get dual screeen running but it doesnt work. any ideas? Thanks
[02:27] <J-n> gandalfcome what video card?
[02:27] <halycon>  Ubuntu 8.04
[02:27] <halycon>                 - the Hardy Heron
[02:27] <Merther> Installing Linux on an external drive doesn't put grub on the internal drive right?
[02:27] <droopsta915> indygunfreak: i just bought a new monitor, it works fine, i was thinking if i made changes in ubuntu the monitor wuld work to its best
[02:27] <halycon> JackCSG, Ubuntu 8.04 - the Hardy Heron
[02:28] <sooki>  i'm trying to add windows to my grub list, but it's located on its own second drive, and i'm not sure which hdwhatever,whatever it is, is there a way to find out?
[02:28] <gandalfcome> J-n: I guess the normal eee pc video card
[02:28] <JackCSG> Halycon, where are you downloading these from?
[02:28] <halycon> JackCSG, it is directly from the software creators website
[02:29] <^Phantom^> i think J-n is right
[02:30] <JackCSG> halycon, wish I could help but that's a little out of my expertise at the moment, maybe I can punt this question off to someone else?
[02:30] <^Phantom^> won't enable desktop effects
[02:30] <halycon> JackCSG, ok thanks for your help
[02:30] <J-n> gandalfcome If you can find out what video card you have it will be much eaiser, if it's nvida manufacture it's one way, and if not it's possibly several other...
[02:31] <Guest45955> Hi
[02:31] <Guest45955> I need help using ufw
[02:32] <J-n> ^Phantom^ if you've got the HD space i'd just suggest doing a dual boot with ubuntu as one of the options - you'll like it a heck of a lot more i suspect :)  and you'll find those features will work more readily
[02:33] <J-n> ^Phantom^ then soon you'll have windows that burn away when you close them, and a fancy spinning cubic desktop, and all those other fun features :D
[02:33] <pawan> hi
[02:34] <J-n> ^Phantom^ and video editing software will run better too :)
[02:35] <Guest45955> Can somone help me with ufw
[02:35] <Guest45955> I want to open a port
[02:36] <pw-> man, the channel is dead
[02:36] <danbh_intrepid1> !lag
[02:37] <^Phantom^> oops
[02:37] <^Phantom^> i forgot to read how to get out of seamless mode <_<
[02:37] <danbh_intrepid1> [q] how can I check my powersupply?
[02:38] <hal_v2> is there any way to get files back that I deleted through the trash?
[02:38] <^Phantom^> vbox
[02:38] <J-n> host key +L
[02:39] <^Phantom^> thank you so much :D
[02:39] <hal_v2> wtf is host key?
[02:39] <gandalfcome> J-n: I'll try. the funny thing is when I lugged in the xorg.conf in the drivers sections it only said configuredvideodevice. when I used ubutntu you could see which driver it uses that doesnt seem to be the case anymore
[02:39] <J-n> ^phantom^ was right control L for my default install, probally is same for you
[02:40] <J-n> hal_v2 sorry i should have directed that comment at ^phantom^
[02:40] <hal_v2> is there any way to get files back that I deleted through the trash, though?
[02:40] <J-n> gandalfcome i'm sure there is a way to find out what card you're using, i just dont know how :(
[02:41] <Merther> Hey, just to be sure, if I install Linux on an external usb hard drive that doesn't install grub to the internal drive right?
[02:41] <^Phantom^> okay
[02:41] <IndyGunFreak> Merther: negative.. 99.9% of the time, it does.
[02:42] <gandalfcome> Is anyone using ubuntu  with an Eee pc here?
[02:42] <J-n> hal_v2 i dont know
[02:42] <Merther> ok how about a pen drive install on an external usb hard drive, would that not install grub on the internal?
[02:43] <^Phantom^> now, one last question
[02:43] <dashnu_> Merther: you have an option were to put grub...

[02:44] <danbh_intrepid1> jigga?  what just happened there?
[02:44] <Madpilot> IndyGunFreak, clever bots exist for flood control now
[02:44] <Merther> I don't  recall seeing that.  Where in the installer is that?
[02:45] <danbh_intrepid1> FloodBots got all confused
[02:45] <IndyGunFreak> Merther: why don't you just do a normal install?... to your internal drive.
[02:45] <IndyGunFreak> Madpilot: well they fell asleep at the wheel on that guy...lol
[02:45] <kapace> hello, i have a printer that prints only test pages and stuff from smb
[02:45] <Madpilot> IndyGunFreak, most floods don't go so long, true...
[02:45] <Merther> I've got it like that for my computer but my friend wants to test with an external drive without modifying his internal drive.  That, and he hasn't backed up the internal.
[02:45] <IndyGunFreak> Madpilot: lol, i know, just kiddin..
[02:45] <kapace> the printer takes normal text prints, but quickly stops and says: Flushing Buffer
[02:45] <gandalfcome> sorry about that, that was not planned
[02:46] <kitche> IndyGunFreak: maybe he ws lagging or the bots were :)
[02:46] <keepsake> !paste | gandalfcome
[02:46] <^Phantom^> how do i mount my shared folder

[02:46] <kapace> also: the print queue just briefly shows the print job
[02:46] <dumbdum> Hi, i downloaded Google earth 4.3 from medibuntu but cant install (error "dependencies not satisfied")
[02:46] <IndyGunFreak> dumbdum: how did you download it from googleearth
[02:46] <IndyGunFreak> *medibuntu
[02:46] <gandalfcome> J-n: Graphics Adapter: Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) 950
[02:46] <danbh_intrepid1> the floodbots unsquelched gandalfcome instead of squelching him  : P
[02:46] <keepsake> it's better
[02:47] <keepsake> dumbdum: do you know what the missing dependencies are?
[02:47] <Merther> He's got it, though he would rather be able to bring the hard drive to another computer with a usb bootable bios because he's got more then one computer.
[02:47] <dumbdum> Via web with Firefox at http://packages.medibuntu.org/hardy/index.html
[02:47] <IndyGunFreak> apt-get should ahve resolved all dependencies for google earth.. i've never had a prob w/ that.. and actually, i just installed Google Earth like 10min ago.
[02:48] <kitche> dumbdum: why don't you add the medibuntu.org repos to your apt?
[02:48] <IndyGunFreak> dumbdum: well duh.. you're downloading individual packages.. add the medibuntu repository, following the instructions, then run sudo apt-get install googleearth and watch in wonder
[02:48] <IndyGunFreak> why you'd download packages when there's a repository is a mystery wrapped in a riddle
[02:48] <dumbdum> Have you noticed my handle? Its ok for you experts!
[02:49] <J-n> gandalfcome it will not be easy, but it can be done, i think http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=221174 should help
[02:49] <keepsake> dumbdum: are you running 8.04/hardy?
[02:49] <IndyGunFreak> dumbdum: has nothing to do with dumb/experience, click repository how to, and follow the instructions
[02:49] <dumbdum> yes
[02:49] <IndyGunFreak> it has to do w/ following instructions.
[02:50] <keepsake> dumbdum: use "sudo wget http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/hardy.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list"
[02:50] <keepsake> dumbdum: copy the command into your console and run it
[02:50] <cheeky>  hey when i type this in the terminal "sudo iptables -A INPUT -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT"  i get this spat back @ me bad argument  'ssh' ...wat did i do wrong ? do i need to put something where the INPUT was?
[02:50] <keepsake> dumbdum: after, do this "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install medibuntu-keyring && sudo apt-get update"
[02:50] <dumbdum> Ive followed all instructions all gave and it doesnt work for me. obviously im missing something so Thanks to all!
[02:51] <IndyGunFreak> dumbdum: you're not doing something right.
[02:51] <keepsake> dumbdum: do this "sudo wget http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/hardy.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list"
[02:51] <J-n> dumbdum keepsake is giving you step by step hand holding instructions. i think if you follow exactly what they say you should be all good.
[02:51] <keepsake> dumbdum: then this "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install medibuntu-keyring && sudo apt-get update"
[02:52] <agelwarg> anyone get sound to work w/ vmware 2.0 on 8.04 ?

[02:55] <danbh_intrepid1> Razer: is it iptables or your router?
[02:55] <moyix> hey, trying to use Xen 3.3 on intrepid with an intel graphics chip, and X (2:1.5.0-1ubuntu1) freezes when I launch it (grey screen, unresponsive). I found this bug, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xen-3.2/+bug/225046 , but the solution (upgrade to intrepid) didn't work for me
[02:55] <Razer> danbh_intrepid1, I've no idea
[02:55] <keepsake> dumbdum: ah, i see
[02:55] <keepsake> dumbdum: the problem is that medibuntu is down right now
[02:55] <keepsake> try again later
[02:55] <hydroponic> ﻿Is there any way to fix the problem where nspluginwrapper crashes and a gray box is displayed instead of Flash movies, until Firefox is restarted?
[02:55] <Razer> danbh_intrepid1, it's probably working fine since it was working fine before I reinstalled ubuntu
[02:55] <keepsake> dumbdum: when you visit http://www.medibuntu.org and it works
[02:55] <keepsake> dumbdum: try it again
[02:55] <danbh_intrepid1> Razer: sudo iptables -L      if nothing is listed, then its your router.  If you have a router, then its probably your router
[02:56] <cheeky> could some one explain to me .. iptables?
[02:56] <IndyGunFreak> keepsake: i just ran sudo apt-get update, and it hit medibuntu just fine
[02:56] <danbh_intrepid1> !iptables > cheeky maybe ubottu can!!!!!!!
[02:56] <keepsake> IndyGunFreak: I tried accessing it just now and it didn't work =S
[02:57] <IndyGunFreak> weird.
[02:57] <Razer> danbh_intrepid1, something about chain
[02:57] <kapace> i have a printer that prints only test pages and stuff from smb... on normal (gedit) prints says on the LCD is "Flushing Buffer"
[02:57] <kapace> and doesn't do anything else
[02:57] <Razer> !iptable
[02:57] <danbh_intrepid1> Razer: if you want me to judge it, use paste.ubuntu.com
[02:57] <cheeky> danbh_intrepid1: yeah i am reading that and i cant seem to set it up .. when i type this in the terminal "sudo iptables -A INPUT -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT"  i get this spat back @ me bad argument  'ssh' ...wat did i do wrong ?
[02:57] <gandalfcome> J-n: Okay I can get it to clone, but the max resoultion it allows me is 860, is there any way to change this?
[02:58] <keepsake> I'm getting a Partial Upgrade message. Can someone tell me how to resolve it/figure out the cause of it?

[02:58] <tarrant> Hey quick question. I'm in the market to buy a new graphics card for my ubuntu computer. I haven't really followed the area for a very long time but how do nvidia and radeon compare as far as driver support currently?
[02:58] <keepsake> tarrant: afaik I think nvidia is better on ubuntu
[02:59] <tarrant> thanks that is what I figured.
[02:59] <Cpudan80> NVidia is better by many miles
[02:59] <keepsake> tarrant: I'm running radeon and it's... poopoo compared to Windows
[02:59] <Cpudan80> Take your ATi card and throw it out the window
[02:59] <keepsake> but i have no other card =(
[02:59] <Cpudan80> Radeon will work on Ubuntu
[02:59] <J-n> gandalfcome i'm gonna guess it's possible
[02:59] <Cpudan80> just dont expect it to do anything fancy
[02:59] <keepsake> Cpudan80: It does work, but it's just really slow
[02:59] <keepsake> Cpudan80: yeah
[02:59] <kapace> Cpudan80, i thought ATI was better in open source karma?
[03:00] <Cpudan80> kapace: Hell no
[03:00] <tberch> hello all, I was recently compromised, and the attacker was in promiscuous mode for quite a while (probably), and I just need a good ubuntu auditing tool, Im looking for a resource that knows anything about host based auditing
[03:00] <J-n> gandalfcome check out the xorg.conf file see if it's in there
[03:00] <Cpudan80> kapace: ATi is as bad as it gets
[03:00] <keepsake> Cpudan80: I'm running fglrx and it's meh to say the most
[03:00] <danbh_intrepid1> cheeky: can you paste your iptables?
[03:00] <tarrant> thanks all, Nvidia it is.
[03:00] <kapace> whats this i heard that AMD releasing free open driver or specs?
[03:00] <gandalfcome> J-n: Thanks. ubuntu is really a fantastic operating system but it always had difficulties with dual screen. they should really address this
[03:00] <cheeky> its the standard.. nothing on it
[03:00] <Cpudan80> kapace: They've been saying that for 100 years
[03:00] <danbh_intrepid1> Razer: its empty, you need to configure your router
[03:00] <kapace> hah
[03:00] <tarrant> amd has released lots of specs for their card
[03:00] <kapace> i see
[03:00] <Cpudan80> kapace: I'll believe it when I see it
[03:00] <vbman11> does anyone know of a good dvd making application
[03:00] <keepsake> Cpudan80: you're such a hater =P
[03:01] <Cpudan80> kapace: they released some detailed specs -- thats about it
[03:01] <Razer> danbh_intrepid1, but it wasn't a problem with my last ubuntu install
[03:01] <cheeky> danbh_intrepid1: could i pase it in a prvt message or here is fine?
[03:01] <kapace> mm
[03:01] <kitche> kapace Cpudan80 : radeonhd
[03:01] <tarrant> vbman11: k3b
[03:01] <J-n> gandalfcome if you had an nvidia card it's very simple
[03:01] <physically_fit> testing123
[03:01] <kitche> kapace Cpudan80 it's part of X.org
[03:01] <Cpudan80> keepsake: Yep - I wont ever buy an ATi unless I am forced to
[03:01] <Razer> danbh_intrepid1, which was this morning
[03:01] <keepsake> kitche: Radeonhd?
[03:01] <vbman11> tarrant: in repo?
[03:01] <J-n> gandalfcome i agree though 100% thats an area i'd like to see improved as well
[03:01] <tberch> I got dual screen to work, but I had to manually set it every time,
[03:01] <danbh_intrepid1> cheeky: either paste.ubuntu.com or a pm
[03:01] <teddy__> hey guys. I have a problem probably related to X11. In any sdl game, such as sauerbraten or urban terror, if I use the scroll wheel it makes the mouse go whacky. This doesn't happen when I hold a key while scrolling and it is fixed by pressing keys on the keyboard
[03:01] <tarrant> vbman11: yea its technically a kde program though.
[03:01] <kitche> keepsake: it's what the driver is called it works with the Radeon HD cards
[03:02] <vbman11> tarrant: ok then, thanks!
[03:02] <IndyGunFreak> gandalfcome: i guess thats a matter of opinion... i setup dual screens in about 2min.
[03:02] <keepsake> kitche: Really? Can you link me? (I have an HD2400Pro =\)
[03:02] <gandalfcome> IndyGunFreak: Laptop or desktop?
[03:02] <IndyGunFreak> gandalfcome: desktop
[03:02] <kitche> keepsake: it's part of X.org
[03:02] <Wicked> hello all. im wondering if there is a way i can get all the pictures and videos off my razr cellphone
[03:02] <teddy__> i guess im running kubuntu so i should be in #kubuntu but i remember this happening on regular old ubuntu as well
[03:02] <danbh_intrepid1> Razer: then I don''t know, sorry
[03:03] <vbman11> tarrant: will it make dvd menus?
[03:03] <keepsake> kitche: I'm afraid I don't understand, sorry =\
[03:03] <gandalfcome> IndyGunFreak: I guess that works. But laptops I always had problems. On my macbook I just plugin the secondary monitor and it detects it. I think for ubuntu to succeed it needs to have these little things to work.
[03:03] <kitche> !info xserver-xorg-video-radeonh | keepsake
[03:03] <kitche> !info xserver-xorg-video-radeonhd | keepsake
[03:03] <kitche> hate when I do a copy and paste I miss a letter ....
[03:03] <IndyGunFreak> gandalfcome: wel, i guess i'll remember that if i ever decide to lug a monitor around w/ my laptop
[03:04] <sixth> can anyone help me adding windows to grub? i tried to add it but when i click windows it just blinks
[03:04] <keepsake> kitche: I see, thanks.
[03:04] <keepsake> kitche: Is it better than fglrx/proprietary right now?
[03:04] <teddy__> google is your friend sixth :D
[03:04] <kitche> keepsake: no clue I m an nvidia person myself
[03:04] <gandalfcome> IndyGunFreak: A tip for that: gaffa tape works wonders when taping the secondary monitor to the laptop :-)
[03:04] <sixth> teddy__: ive saw google.
[03:05] <keepsake> kitche: Okay, thanks.
[03:05] <sixth> we arent really friends =[
[03:05] <kitche> keepsake: ati is not that great with the games I play really since both cards do different things
[03:05] <teddy__> sixth: im sure there are loads of results on that, because ive searched for the same thing before
[03:05] <crdlb> keepsake: only if you don't like 3d :)
[03:05] <teddy__> sixth: i can find you a link if you want
[03:05] <sixth> teddy__: but i have a problem, it didnt all went straight, im looking for troubleshooting, not the tutorial
[03:06] <jigp> hello what is the difference between embedded and liveCD?
[03:06] <keepsake> kitche: Haha, okay.
[03:06] <jrib> How can I disable the xinerama extension completely (without recompiling)?  xdpyinfo lists XINERAMA despite having << Option "Xinerama" "0" >> in my ServerFlags in xorg.conf.
[03:06] <crdlb> jrib: why are you trying to?
[03:07] <vbman11> does anyone here use QDVD Author?
[03:08] <vbman11> im having problems with it
[03:08] <Realcoolguy> vbman11 i tried it so many times!
[03:08] <Realcoolguy> and vbman11 ... same for me :(
[03:08] <vbman11> Realcoolguy: got it to work?
[03:08] <vbman11> ohh
[03:08] <fHy> heloooo
[03:08] <vbman11> dang it
[03:08] <Razer> danbh_intrepid1, how would I configure my router?
[03:08] <Realcoolguy> vbman11: not quite the way i wanted it too... eventually i had to settle on not having menus or something
[03:08] <crdlb> jrib: the Xinerama protocol (not the largely obsolete X server infrastructure) is used by all implementations of multiscreen (XRandR 1.2 and nvidia's twinview) to tell applications the layout of the physical monitors
[03:09] <vbman11> Realcoolguy: i can't even get it to read my video file
[03:09] <Sinky> hi
[03:09] <stmatrix> hmm
[03:09] <danbh_intrepid1> Razer: mmmm, run ifconfig, and enter the ip address of your router into firefox.   Log into your router, and poke around the settings
[03:10] <crdlb> jrib: historically X has used a one Screen per monitor model, so when Xinerama was introduced, we had a single Screen consisting of two monitors for the first time, so they had to invent something new :)
[03:10] <kitche> jrib: did you try using the ubuntu tools to turn it off
[03:10] <kitche> crdlb: I m pretty sure jrid knows all about Xinerama :)
[03:10] <kitche> bah jrib
[03:10] <Razer> danbh_intrepid1, I don't think I have a log-in for my router
[03:11] <danbh_intrepid1> Razer: can you get to the login page?
[03:11] <tberch> is it linksys?
[03:12] <jrib> crdlb: heh, ok.  qlite window manager checks for xinerama using xlib's Display.has_extension().  I don't use it, so it makes a stupid assumption.  I'm assuming has_extension() would not return True for xinerama if I disabled it somehow, but this doesn't seem to happen.  So I was wondering if there was a different way to disable it
[03:12] <tberch> razer, you can hold down the reset button for 10 sec's on your router, and it will reset...
[03:12] <keepsake> Razer: In your browser go to http://192.168.1.1 and see if that works.
[03:12] <tberch> if you cant get in
[03:13] <kitche> jrib: you could try using dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[03:13] <crdlb> jrib: I'm not sure, but disabling XRandR (or twinview) might do it
[03:13] <jrib> kitche, crdlb: possibly relevant: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel-discuss/2007-November/002484.html
[03:13] <sixth> ﻿can anyone help me adding windows to grub? i tried to add it but when i click windows it just blinks
[03:13] <De[X]tone> m0rning guys...
[03:14] <bobertdos> sixth: Pastebin your menu.lst please.
[03:14] <Razer> keepsake, it's asking for a username and password and I never knew that
[03:14] <keepsake> Razer: try "admin" as password and nothing in username
[03:15] <J-n> Razer who is the manufacturer for your router? also look on the bottom default pw's may be there as well.
[03:16] <Razer> J-n, linksys and I got it to work
[03:16] <sixth> bobertdos: http://sixth.pastebin.com/d79b425d1
[03:16] <Razer> keepsake, ty
[03:16] <keepsake> Razer: np =P
[03:17] <J-n> razer cool :)
[03:17] <Razer> keepsake, now how do I enable my incoming TCP port?
[03:17] <jrib> crdlb: I'll give it a try to see if it gives me some more pointers, thanks
[03:17] <SebNaitsabes> how do I find out how much RAM a computer with Ubuntu on it has?
[03:17] <SebNaitsabes> the command
[03:17] <keepsake> Razer: I'm not too great with port forwarding, you'll have to ask around, sorry
[03:17] <jrib> SebNaitsabes: free -m
[03:17] <keepsake> Razer: Try going to the "Applications and Gaming" tab if you have it
[03:18] <Razer> keepsake, I'm there, now what?
[03:18] <SebNaitsabes> jrib:  thanks, but I am not entirely sure how to make sense of the output
[03:19] <jrib> SebNaitsabes: the first number on the top left is how much ram it has
[03:19] <SebNaitsabes> jrib: toal 249
[03:19] <keepsake> Razer: Figure out the port you need
[03:19] <keepsake> Razer: And put it into the thing
[03:19] <crdlb> jrib: so yeah, Xorg always has the Xinerama protocol available (sometimes called "Fakerama") because XRandR can add a monitor at any time
[03:19] <lat> How can I find the character 0xfeff in a file?
[03:19] <Razer> keepsake, I need port 51413 open
[03:20] <crdlb> jrib: do you have any idea this window manager is testing for xinerama?
[03:20] <crdlb> idea why*
[03:20] <keepsake> Razer: Type in an aplication
[03:20] <keepsake> Razer: Put 51413 in both start/end
[03:20] <keepsake> Razer: Check enable
[03:20] <jrib> crdlb: hmm, I see.  It's probably better to change the way it tests.  The author uses xinerama so I assume it was never tested otherwise :)  It really just needs to know how many screens I have
[03:20] <keepsake> Razer: You might want to google "port forwarding linksys"
[03:20] <keepsake> Razer: I'm not too good with this
[03:20] <Razer> keepsake, application?
[03:21] <bobertdos> sixth: First of all, are you certain Windows is on the first partition of the first hard drive? Also, between root and makeactive, it is sometimes useful to add savedefault. Oh, and Windows entries generally go outside the automagic list.
[03:21] <keepsake> Razer: It doesn't really matter
[03:21] <Leefmcz> Question: I am attempting to resetup GRUB on my dual boot, but i am getting an error when following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows (step 4's find command). Can anyone give me any clues on whats wrong? Error: "Error 15: File not found"
[03:21] <keepsake> Razer: It's just so you know what you're opening the port for.
[03:21] <bobertdos> sixth: but more than anything, we need to be sure you're pointing to the right partition
[03:21] <mn> anyone here know how to upgrade a linux kernel in *buntu?
[03:21] <smm289> trying to use wine to install a windows application. using wine, but its not working.  Are there any other options for wine
[03:21] <sixth> bobertdos: how can i found out on what hdd is my windows?
[03:22] <danbh_intrepid1> mn: why isnt the regular upgrade system good enough?
[03:22] <Leefmcz> Flannel: You awake?
[03:22] <jrib> mn: you get automatic updates for the kernel through the update-manager if you've installed the proper linux-image-*
[03:22] <shingen1> would i need to compile my own kernel to get a specific RAID driver to work under ubuntu?
[03:22] <jrib> !appdb | smm289
[03:22] <mn> jrib: well uname -a is giving me an old kernel
[03:22] <jrib> mn: what exactly is "old"?
[03:23] <bobertdos> sixth: Because grub and fdisk's naming schemes parallel each other, if you pastebin the output of sudo fdisk -l, it will be possible to tell.
[03:23] <mn> the latest is 2.6.26.25 and I have 2.6.24 ....
[03:23] <keepsake> mn: ubuntu doesn't update that quickly
[03:23] <IndyGunFreak> whats that package yo install when you have no sound in flash
[03:23] <IndyGunFreak> ?
[03:23] <smm289> !appdb
[03:23] <keepsake> mn: the linux core itself does, but it takes longer to integrate into Ubuntu I think
[03:23] <jrib> IndyGunFreak: libflashsupport
[03:24] <helltraum> Has anyone here managed to get php and apache working in ubuntu
[03:24] <IndyGunFreak> jrib: thanks.
[03:24] <jrib> helltraum: lots of people probably
[03:24] <mn> keepsake: what do you mean?
[03:24] <jrib> !lamp > helltraum
[03:24] <keepsake> mn: The latest version for Ubuntu is the 2.6.24 you have.
[03:24] <jrib> mn: that's the latest in the repositories.  The kernel team ensures you have security fixes, if that's what you are worried about
[03:24] <r00t__> is it possible to recursively change from mp3 to ogg using LAME?
[03:24] <sixth> bobertdos: http://sixth.pastebin.com/m1d45d4e3
[03:25] <mn> jrib: oh, ok
[03:25] <Flynsarmy> Are there any good linux telnet clients like zMUD?
[03:25] <v3ctor> ls /usr/local/bin/
[03:25] <keepsake> Flynsarmy: There's Gnome-MUD
[03:25] <v3ctor> oops
[03:25] <keepsake> Flynsarmy: Otherwise I just use telnet =P
[03:25] <shingen1> xrvt & xterm works great too :P
[03:26] <J-n> Flynsarmy more than you can shake a stick at
[03:26] <danbh_intrepid1> r00t__: maybe so, but it will come out crappy
[03:26] <bobertdos> sixth: Yup, that should be 0,0...........Okay, so I suggest moving your Windows entry outside the automagic block and putting savedefault between "root" and "makeactive"
[03:26] <Flynsarmy> J-n: I searched for 'telnet' in add/remove programs and only 3 came up. putty and 2 random ones
[03:26] <r00t__> any better suggestion? I've got 102 gb and i'm tryinig to lower the size.
[03:27] <shingen1> Flynsarmy: search for MUD
[03:27] <r00t__> but keep qual.
[03:27] <keepsake> Flynsarmy: Try Gnome-MUD if you're looking to play MUDs
[03:27] <danbh_intrepid1> r00t__: recompress the mp3 to a lower bitrate?
[03:27] <helltraum> How do you trouble fault segmentation faults in apache2 and the php mod ?
[03:27] <helltraum> I've installed from the repositories ..
[03:27] <helltraum> but I'm having problems getting this to work ..
[03:28] <Soulwarp> papaya isn't a bad mud client
[03:28] <Razer> keepsake, not working :(
[03:28] <sixth> bobertdos: ?
[03:28] <sixth> oh sorry
[03:29] <sixth> didnt see you already msged
[03:29] <Leefmcz> Anyone know anything about GRUB? I'm lost.. I removed ubuntu, installed windows (i needed to move windows to sd2 or it wouldn't format), and at the moment my boot is on sd1.. but GRUB refuses to do anything. Any ideas?
[03:29] <ale_> canal do ubuntu
[03:29] <danbh_intrepid1> r00t__: generally, transcoding from one lossy codec to another results in allot of quality loss (ie mp3 -> ogg).  So its better to just reroll the mp3 to a different bitrate
[03:29] <danbh_intrepid1> r00t__: but the proof of the pudding is in the eating, so ...
[03:30] <Leefmcz> I've seen the commands "find /boot/grub/stage1" and "find /grub/stage1" and neither is found by GRUB. Any help?
[03:30] <sixth> bobertdos: what is the automagic box?
[03:31] <koshar1> Leefmcz you would need to replace the windows bootloader if you have removed linux
[03:31] <Leefmcz> koshar1: I'm attempting to.. :/
[03:32] <Leefmcz> koshar1: By following this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows , I get stuck at "find /boot/grub/stage1"
[03:32] <koshar1> Leefmcz so you want whatever the windows command is to replace the mbr
[03:32] <bobertdos> sixth: I mean, put the Windows entry after the line that says ### END DEBIAN AUTOMAGIC KERNEL LIST
[03:32] <Leefmcz> koshar1: Well why not in linux?
[03:32] <mn> Leefmcz:  I have the code I used.  Want me to paste bin them?
[03:32] <koshar1> Leefmcz why do you want grub if your just booting into windows?
[03:32] <dextone> cret
[03:32] <J-n> What is the diffrence between using synaptic or add/remove programs for installing programs?
[03:33] <Leefmcz> koshar1: At the moment i cant even boot into windows because i have a separate boot partition, and it wont work right.
[03:33] <koshar1> Leefmcz that guide is to replace grub after installing windows AND retaining ubuntu
[03:33] <v3ctor> Leefmcz: http://www.users.bigpond.net.au/hermanzone/p18.htm#Windows_XP_Recovery_Console
[03:33] <Mustafa_Kaya> hi all
[03:33] <Leefmcz> koshar1: I am going to install ubuntu again later, i'd do it now but i dont have the time
[03:33] <Mustafa_Kaya> i couldnt connect to the internet on ubuntu
[03:33] <bobertdos> sixth: If it helps, mine looks like this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/47059/
[03:33] <Mustafa_Kaya> what can i do*
[03:34] <Mustafa_Kaya> ?
[03:34] <sixth> bobertdos: thanks ill soon reboot to check. i also have a kernel problem, do you have any expirence with those?
[03:34] <koshar1> well you will need sonewhere to instyall the grubs stage 2 files
[03:34] <tarrant> J-n: I believe that the difference is that synaptic is fully powered while add/remove program is for your average non-geek.
[03:34] <MTecknology> I have this in auto.master "/media/music    /etc/auto.music --timeout 60" and this in auto.music "music       -rw,soft,intr,rsize=8192,wsize=8192   192.168.1.11:/media/music". If I mount is with "mount 192.168.1.11:/media/music /medis/music" it works fine. but if I do that in autofs, it doesn't appear to ever actually mount.
[03:34] <Mustafa_Kaya> heey
[03:34] <bobertdos> sixth: not really, ;\
[03:34] <bobertdos> :\
[03:34] <Leefmcz> v3ctor: I'd rather do it the linux way.. heh. Since thats the main OS.. im just attempting a dual boot here..
[03:34] <mn> hey
[03:34] <sixth> bobertdos: i will reboot now to check
[03:34] <sixth> brb
[03:34] <J-n> tarrant thanks, i was kinda wondering... lol.. kept finding much more intresting programs via synaptic than add/remove
[03:35] <Mustafa_Kaya> hey mn
[03:35] <v3ctor> Leefmcz: you said you don;t have linux installed
[03:35] <Mustafa_Kaya> mn: hey
[03:35] <Mustafa_Kaya> do you know how to achieve it?
[03:35] <Leefmcz> v3ctor: Yet, i'll be installing that soon (probably tomorrow, its late and i need to sleep for work)
[03:35] <[Neurotic]> Hi, I'm trying to debug a kernel panic I can reproduce with iwl4965, and I can get it to show in the alt+ctrl+f1 console, but its too big for my screen, so I can't see it all.  Is there anyway I can push it to a file?
[03:35] <Leefmcz> v3ctor: I had to remove linux to get stupid ass windows to work. It didn't like being the 6th partition.
[03:35] <jrgp> ...
[03:36] <v3ctor> Leefmcz: you need to have it there to get grub to work properly
[03:36] <Leefmcz> v3ctor: If i install Ubuntu into my ubuntu partition, will it fix the GRUB thing?
[03:36] <jrgp> if it overwrites the boot record, yeah
[03:36] <Leefmcz> jrgp: Well, will it?
[03:37] <jrgp> it will install grub, in doing so it will set it up for your newly installed ubuntu and it will alsom most likely detect your windows partition too
[03:37] <jrgp> if it is still working
[03:37] <koshar1> Leefmcz it will because it will reinstall the grub files in /boot/grub
[03:37] <v3ctor> it will fix grub, and if you get lucky it will detect your windows and add that
[03:37] <Leefmcz> k, thanks. I'll install ubuntu again :)
[03:37] <jrgp> you won't regret it :)
[03:37] <Leefmcz> I was just trying to avoid the install time
[03:37] <koshar1> Leefmcz at the moment the stage one of grub is looking for them and they dont exist
[03:38] <koshar1> Leefmcz otherwise your options are to fix the windows bootloader
[03:38] <Leefmcz> jrgp: No trust me, im not leaving ubuntu. I kept my /home partition. I just wanted 20gig of windows for gaming, thats all
[03:38] <v3ctor> Leefmcz: you could learn the grub command line
[03:38] <koshar1>  Leefmcz and why do you need 6 partitions?
[03:38] <puff> I seem to be having a problem getting wireless working.  It *was* working okay, but now I don't seem to be able to get a response from DHCP servers.  This is the third network I've had the problem with, which would seem to rule out a problem with the router/WAP.
[03:39] <mn> what command do I do to find out the wireless card I have?
[03:39] <Leefmcz> koshar1: I forget how many it was exactly, but there was a boot, os, swap, /home, umm.. and somethin else, iirc
[03:39] <Leefmcz> koshar1: Windows wouldn't format, it said there were too many partitions.
[03:39] <Razer> keepsake, :'( port still closed
[03:39] <Leefmcz> koshar1: I had to put windows on the 2nd partition
[03:41] <jrgp> Leefmcz, if I were you I'd wipe the drive, install windows first, then install ubuntu; that'd probably make your situation easier to get out of
[03:41] <Leefmcz> jrgp: Blech, no time. If this works so be it, if not, then i need to copy a ton of data off of my /home
[03:42] <Flannel> Leefmcz: What are you doing?
[03:42] <jrgp> I'd have that data backed up first, before you do anything
[03:42] <puff> Can anybody help me troubleshoot my disappearing wireless?
[03:42] <Razer> keepsake, do you see anything wrong with this http://paste.ubuntu.com/47057/ ?
[03:42] <Leefmcz> Flannel: Making a mess of things, because windows is lame. :)
[03:42] <Flannel> Leefmcz: Ah.  Yeah, that happens.
[03:42] <kidd3ckz> theres no need for a windows channel to discuss problems
[03:43] <Leefmcz> Flannel: The story is long, but basically i had a ton of partitions (boot, home, swap, etc), and windows wouldn't install when it was the 6th partition. it said too many. So i removed my os partition, and put windows on that. Well now my GRUB is hosed, so im trying to install ubuntu
[03:43] <Leefmcz> Flannel: Install ubuntu, to fix GRUB.
[03:43] <Flannel> Leefmcz: ah, yeah.  Windows doesn't like being on a non-primary partition
[03:44] <Leefmcz> Flannel: So sd1 is boot, sd2 is windows, sd3 / is ubuntu.. which im trying to do now.
[03:44] <Leefmcz> Flannel: I hate windows. :)
[03:45] <Flannel> Leefmcz: If that doesn't work plain, you can map windows to think its sda1
[03:45] <Scruffy00> Help!  I can't get the mail notification sound in Evolution to work.  I have read the forums and researched google but nothing has worked.  I am using version 2.22.3.1 of Evolution on a Dell Inspiron 1420.  I am using Alsa also.  The file is .wav and can be heard using a media player.  Please someone help me.  I don't want to go back to Vista.
[03:46] <Leefmcz> Flannel: Question, i saved my /home, but im installing ubuntu now. However, im giving the OS partition a mapping of /, do i need to give my home partition a /home mount? I'm afraid of touching that partition, in fear of losing data
[03:46] <dashnu_> Scruffy00: rofl all because of a mail sound wow
[03:46] <Flannel> Leefmcz: Yeah, In the partitioner you say "use this partition as /home, but don't format it"
, yes you do
[03:46] <filsuf>  /close
[03:46] <Scruffy00> If I am going to switch I would like to have everything working.
[03:46] <palomino> Scruffy00: can't get enough of that AOL mail notification, eh?
[03:46] <Leefmcz> Flannel: What about the others? Does boot need /boot, or swap need any mount, etc?
[03:47] <jrgp> Leefmcz, no
[03:47] <jrgp> those can stay under the / partition
[03:47] <jrgp> wqait
[03:47] <jrgp> not swap
[03:47] <jrgp> the others yes
[03:47] <Scruffy00> Nah, Dr. Who.  I have to have the sound because I am away from my desk and sometimes an important e-mail comes that I will need.
[03:47] <Flannel> Leefmcz: Are you going to be using them as separate partitions? or getting rid of them as separate? (moving them under /) andyes, you need swap
[03:48] <Leefmcz> Flannel: They're already separate partitions, im just asking if they all need mount points. So far the only mount points i have defined are /home and /
[03:48] <fLufyz> hye
[03:48] <Flannel> Leefmcz: If you want to use them, yes, you'll specify that during the partition stage.
[03:49] <fallore> my sound isn't working, it was very recently, i have no idea why and didn't change anything. ideas?
[03:49] <Leefmcz> Flannel: Well do i need to specify mounts for a boot and swap partitions? Those are the only others
[03:49] <fLufyz> what is the antivirus in ubuntu
[03:49] <Flannel> Leefmcz: yes.  Well, swap just gets marked as swap, it doesn't really have a mount point.
[03:49] <jrgp> fLufyz, ubuntu does not typtically need anti virus
[03:49] <puff> Hm, dmesg has lines saying:  "ipw2200:  Failed to send SYSTEM_CONFIG: Already sending a command"
[03:49] <Cpudan80> fLufyz: you really dont need one
[03:49] <pawan> hi
[03:50] <fLufyz> oohh..ok..
[03:50] <jrgp> fLufyz, only windows needs anti virus
[03:50] <fLufyz> thanx jrgp & Cpudan80
[03:50] <jrgp> np
[03:50] <bobertdos> fLufyz: In fact, the one time I did try AV for Ubuntu, it actually corrupted my installation.
[03:50] <king> I has just GTalk in empathy?how can i add msn to it?
[03:50] <Leefmcz> Flannel: So boot is a mount of /boot then? Also, How do i mount the home partition? It says i have to choose a file system before i can mount, is that fine? (Ie, will choosing a file system format it? Again, i really need to protect the data on my home partition)
[03:50] <torvalds> jrgp: wrong. Linux users are just as vulnerable to virii
[03:50] <Leefmcz> Flannel: Just dont check format and im fine?
[03:51] <jrgp> bot "just as:
[03:51] <Scruffy00> So apparently I am on my own?
[03:51] <jrgp> torvalds, you wouldn't happen to be......?
[03:51] <torvalds> jrgp: yes.
[03:51] <torvalds> jrgp: how else would I get this nick?
[03:51] <fallore> torvalds: luck
[03:51] <jrgp> indeed
[03:52] <R_YoYo_R> would torvalds really hang out in the ubuntu channel?
[03:52] <Flannel> Leefmcz: why are you against formatting /boot?
[03:52] <sixth> bobertdos, thanks alot :)
[03:52] <R_YoYo_R> i dont think so
[03:52] <Beck> what is difference between gnome and xfce?
[03:52] <torvalds> I don't go on IRC often. I'm just here to say hi to the community.
[03:52] <jrgp> xfce looks a little different and uses a lot less resources
[03:52] <R_YoYo_R> Beck: how the look and feel
[03:52] <jrgp> but is less feature packed
[03:53] <torvalds> Beck: try kde ;)
[03:53] <chubs_> torvalds, speak swedish ;)
[03:53] <Leefmcz> Flannel: Im not, im against formatting /home, but i think i got it worked out. I was asking before i tried it. Seems if you select efi, it doesn't give you control over formatting or mount point. So all is well i think :)
[03:53] <Beck> torvalds, is it better?
[03:53] <Leefmcz> Flannel: Sounds good aye?
[03:53] <bobertdos> sixth: Everything's working?
[03:53] <media> alright for the life of me I can not figure out how to make normal audio go through the coax digital out on this computer
[03:53] <Flannel> Leefmcz: Just make sure home is marked as used, but not format, yes.
[03:53] <media> it has an nforce chipset
[03:53] <^Phantom^> Okay, back
[03:53] <kapace> i have a printer that prints only test pages and stuff from smb... on normal (gedit) prints says on the LCD is "Flushing Buffer"
[03:53] <media> and I do have the iec thing checked in gnome
[03:53] <torvalds> chubs_: God kväll
[03:53] <media> but still nothing
[03:53] <^Phantom^> now, my last question
[03:54] <Leefmcz> Flannel: Well format is NOT checked. Thats for sure, i saw nothing that said "used" or anything. I assigned it to /home, and gave it a type of ext3 (which it already was). Format is not checked. All good?
[03:54] <media> can someone please help me with this issue
[03:54] <Flannel> Leefmcz: That's correct.  Givign it a mountpoint means "use this"
[03:54] <Leefmcz> k
[03:54] <Scruffy00> media don't feel bad all I got was mocked when I asked for help.
[03:54] <puff> Some of the google hits I'm seeing are related to wpa2, which reminds me that I was trying to get onto a wpa2 network the other night.  Does anybody know how I'd make absolutely sure my wireless isn't trying to go into wpa2 mode?
[03:54] <media> wonderful
[03:55] <fallore> Can anyone help me troubleshoot my sound? Everything is exactly as it was when it was working recently, except it just doesn't work.
[03:55] <puff> fallore: Did you try rebooting?
[03:55] <torvalds> Ubuntu är ett shitty Distro för noobs. Ni alla suger din mammas nipplar
[03:55] <Leefmcz> Flannel: Here goes hehe, afk for a few
[03:55] <fallore> puff: not yet, guess i should lol :X
[03:55] <jrgp> fallore, try changing the settings in alsamixer
[03:55] <puff> fallore: If it comes back after a reboot, you're having a lock contention issue.
[03:55] <^Phantom^> How do I go about mounting my shared folder "C:\ubuntu" in ubuntu?
[03:55] <wng_z3r0> Can anyone give me a link on going from windows ->ubuntu? All I've found is very simple guides like this is 'root' etc. I'm looking for something more in depth, thanks =)
[03:55] <devin> hi i want to know how to i use the Huawei E220 USB modem for Ubuntu 10
[03:55] <fLufyz> fallore : maybe your sound in mute mode
[03:55] <smm289> <--XPS1330 running ubuntu 8.04 32bit  any idea if I can run 64bit
[03:56] <puff> fallore: you shoulodn't have to reboot in linux :-).  But in this case, a common cause of disappearing sound is sound card resource lock contention.
[03:56] <^Phantom^> Through the vbox
[03:56] <devin> im in Malaysia and my service provider is Maxis
[03:56] <puff> fallore: Though, yeah, you should check alsamixer and make sure your sound isn't muted it.
[03:56] <mn> smm289: what kind of processor does your computer have?
[03:56] <Beck> ^Phantom^, read vbox manual :P
[03:56] <fallore> puff: it's not muted. what do i do about the sound card resource lock contention?
[03:57] <youknowme> Is this bad? http://pastebin.com/m36005458
[03:57] <smm289> mm: Core2Duo T7500 2.2
[03:57] <fallore> puff: actually pc speaker was muted but i changed it and nothing happened
[03:57] <Winston_SmithVT> What's the best way to secure the transmission web UI? It cames standard with the password but of course that's sent plain text, is there and way to secure this connection a bit better?
[03:57] <jrgp> https?
[03:57] <media> I am wondering if an update killed my spidif out because it used to work but not anymore
[03:57] <wng_z3r0> vpn
[03:57] <Flannel> Winston_SmithVT: Do you have control of both ends?
[03:57] <media> thinking about reinstalling and not updating
[03:57] <media> lol
[03:57] <media> then it should work
[03:57] <fLufyz> devin : try to create new dialer instead of using from given one
[03:57] <puff> fallore: Are you by any chance using ACPI?
[03:57] <J-n> torvalds the average user needs to get into linux somehow, and sadly most distro's aren't average user friendly. I'd agree though it's more for a person just weening themselves from the M$ teat.
[03:57] <Flannel> Winston_SmithVT: Oh "transmission" I see. nevermind.
[03:57] <fallore> puff: i'm not sure, what is it/how do i check?
[03:58] <Flannel> J-n: He's gone.
[03:58] <J-n> oh well
[03:58] <Winston_SmithVT> Flannel: Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't. I wanna use it from anyplace
[03:58] <wng_z3r0> set up vpn
[03:58] <puff> fallore: Well, you reboot to see if that's the problem.  If it is, there are solutions, alsa daemon being one of them, but I'm not certain what the current best solution is.
[03:58] <puff> fallore: ls /proc/acpi
[03:58] <devin> there is a link here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto/Huawei
[03:58] <chubs_> J-n, probably wasn't linus either ;)
[03:58] <Winston_SmithVT> wng_z3r0: Can I use a VPN from a public computer? wouln't I need the VPN cleint?
[03:58] <youknowme> My RAIDed HDD is making a noise, I think it might be failing. But I don't understand this: http://pastebin.com/m36005458
[03:59] <devin> but it says Vodaphone can it be generic to other providers
[03:59] <Leefmcz> Flannel: Next time i setup an os though, i'm leaving the 2nd and maybe even 3rd partitions empty for another OS. :o
[03:59] <Geoffrey2> I use a wireless router to connect to the internet...recently, every time I start the computer, I need to go into Network, unlock, then re-enter the wireless password....
[03:59] <lymeca> I
[03:59] <fallore> puff: what should show up? i've got a list of things and some are blue
[03:59] <fallore> puff: i'm going to restart real quick to test the other thing, brb
[03:59] <puff> fallore: Main reason I ask is because there might be volume status under /proc somewhere, but I"m using an ibm with acpi, so I don't know.
[03:59] <lymeca> m trying to install hardy on a Macbook and it succeeded but GRUB won't work!  I'm in the live CD and am trying to finish installing GRUB, what can I do?
[03:59] <puff> fallore: less /proc/acpi/ibm/volume
[04:00] <monteiro> ola
[04:00] <arooni> with 320GB hard drive, 4GB ram... 1) how big should / be?  2) how big should swap be?  3) what order should it be partitioned in?  /, /home, swap?
[04:00] <Leefmcz> lymeca: Was it a full install? Im on a mac pro with no problems
[04:00] <fallore> puff: no such file or directory. restarting brb
[04:00] <wng_z3r0> Winston_SmithVT: It depends on what you want to do. Most popular web browsers can use vpn right out of the box, you just need to set it up
[04:00] <Flannel> arooni: How much RAM do you have?
[04:00] <amenado> Geoffrey2-> you can put that as an entry in your /etc/network/interfaces so no need to retype all every reboot
[04:00] <Flannel> arooni: Oh
[04:00] <smm289> is there a cpu-z for linux
[04:00] <Flannel> arooni: Is this a desktop or a laptop?
[04:00] <smm289> !cpu-z
[04:00] <puff> Does anybody know how I make absolutely certain my wireless isn't trying to use wpa or anything?
[04:00] <media> alright I am off to reinstall
[04:01] <media> bbl maybe
[04:01] <media> :D
[04:01] <arooni> Flannel, desktop
[04:01] <Winston_SmithVT> wng_z3r0: The local computer is locked down, can't change settings you can only browse pretty much. I can't even use a USB stick on this computer i'm worried about.
[04:01] <Geoffrey2> amenado, I'm just rather confused as to why the Network Settings manager wouldn't save that for me automatically
[04:01] <amenado> puff anything?
[04:01] <Flannel> arooni: 4G swap tops (likely less).  Since you've got 320G, you can splurge a little and give yourself like 30G for / and then /home for the rest.  I'd go / /home swap (this also means you can reduce your swap later, and merge some with home)
[04:01] <amenado> Geoffrey2-> command line options is not saved
[04:02] <puff> amenado: Hm?
[04:02] <mbrigdan> !fstab
[04:02] <SmoothPorcupine> Ubuntu is stuck on a very small screen res, and telnet sucks for IRC.
[04:02] <Scruffy00> Okay, would anyone be gracious enough to help a guy who is having trouble with the mail notification in Evolution?
[04:03] <amenado> puff you stated anything..what do you mean?
[04:03] <Flannel> SmoothPorcupine: why are you using telnet?  Also,
[04:03] <fallore> puff: jrgp: everyone else: sound is working :D thanks
[04:03] <Flannel> !fixres | SmoothPorcupine
[04:03] <^Phantom^> what is a .daa file ?
[04:03] <jrgp> Scruffy00, ditch eveloution and try thunderbird?
[04:03] <J-n> Scruffy00 i'd be happy to but i do not use evolution. i'm sorry.
[04:03] <Geoffrey2> amenado, I'm not doing this from the command line...this is the wlan0 properties menu, which has entries for the password type, and a place to enter the password....
[04:04] <bobertdos> Scruffy00, I second jrgp's suggestion :D
[04:04] <arooni> thanks Flannel
[04:04] <smm289> I have 32bit 8.04 installed and im pretty happy with my settings, would I have to completly start over if I wanted to install the 64bit version
[04:04] <HardDisk> ^Phantom^, it's a cd/dvd image format
[04:04] <mn> If mustafa_kaya comes back because he already got a driver and still cant get on the internet, have him get the firmware he need from here:  http://ipw2200.sourceforge.net/firmware.php  plzz
[04:04] <danbh_intrepid> smm289: short answer, stick with 32bit
[04:04] <Flannel> smm289: You'd have to reinstall.  That doesn't necessarily mean lose your settings.
[04:04] <Scruffy00> I would like to use thunderbird but I like the PDA features with Evolution.  If I use Thunderbird is there a program to handle my calendar and contacts the way Evolution does?
[04:04] <amenado> Geoffrey2-> well as you already knew, it does not keep it permanent, so you must edit the interfaces file
[04:04] <jrgp> Scruffy00, sunbird
[04:04] <HardDisk> Scruffy00, yes, check out thunderbird's addons
[04:05] <Flannel> Lightning, not Sunbird
[04:05] <bobertdos> Scruffy00: or within thunderbird, you can use the lightning extension
[04:05] <^Phantom^> k thx
[04:05] <^Phantom^> cause i can't find my win98 cd
[04:05] <Odditie> Can anyone help me with my soundcard problem?
[04:05] <puff> amenado: Please be helpful or try not to add to the confusion.
[04:05] <deuterium> hi, where can i find these alfresco debs for ubuntu? http://www.cmswire.com/cms/enterprise-cms/canonical-bundles-alfresco-enterprise-cms-and-ubuntu-linux-002977.php
[04:05] <smm289> ok, how would I install a fresh version of linux but bring everyting back to the way my system is right now
[04:05] <smm289> similiar to an image backup with windows
[04:06] <Scruffy00> Will it sync with a Palm Treo 650?  Will the PDA software that comes with Gnome work that way with Thunderbird?
[04:06] <jrgp> smm289, boot to an ubuntu cd, wipe the drive, and reinstall
[04:06] <amenado> puff am not, just make sure your statements are clear..
[04:06] <^Phantom^> i can only find a .daa format image in torrent format
[04:06] <Odditie> I can get OSS to work, but not ALSA, it cannot find my soundcard now
[04:07] <SmoothPorcupine> 1
[04:07] <puff> amenado: Given the context, it's quite clear what "anything" means.
[04:07] <smm289> wow, hows that going to keep everything the same as I have it right now.  For example, can I make a backup that would allow me to setup ubuntu on a new hard drive but with all of the applications and settings I currently have
[04:07] <argento> did any buddy ever had problems with fast user switch, some times it does not come back to gdm nor the pop up windows asking the password, it goes to terminal...
[04:07] <InHisName> I have problems loading a page into my firefox in ubuntu. Probalby a java thing. I have most loaded right I think.  http://pastebin.com/m38215f53  around line 101 is error   applet not iniitialized.   How do I fix this website to have its applet be initialized.?  http://cbtdirect.skillport.com/skillportfe/login/login.cfm   In the pastebin is copy of all the terminal error and process messages while loading the page.  Also included
[04:07] <Winston_SmithVT> Well whoever mentioned SSL, Thanks. It looks like I might be able to use stunnel to run a SSL tunnel.
[04:07] <Flannel> smm289: Well, you can keep your homedir, which has all your user settings.
[04:07] <danbh_intrepid> !backup > smm289
[04:07] <Flannel> !cloning | smm289
[04:08] <argento> did any buddy ever had problems with fast user switch, some times it does not come back to gdm nor the pop up windows asking the password, it goes to terminal...???
[04:08] <amenado> puff not to me, since you prefer to argue rather than clarify, am not assisting you
[04:08] <SmoothPorcupine> 1ACTION seriously hopes the link will help1
[04:08] <Geoffrey2> curious....the interfaces file already has a wpa-psk line for my wireless device...
[04:08] <kapace> whats the difference between using && and ; to separate commands?
[04:09] <J-n> ^phantom^ use poweriso to decode, translate, or burn a .daa file
[04:09] <jrgp> kapace, && makes sure the first one works before going onto the second
[04:09] <bobertdos> Scruffy00: Ah, okay, if that's what you're doing, maybe we should try helping you with Evolution :p
[04:09] <puff> amenado: It's cool, if you don't know, that's okay.
[04:09] <kapace> thanks jrgp
[04:09] <Scruffy00> That would be great bobertdos.
[04:09] <puff> amenado: But thank you for at least confirming that other people can hear me :-).
[04:10] <puff> fallore: Okay, so the basic fix for the problem - which is that the hardware only provides one sound resource lock and the OS can't release it, so the first app to request it has a monopoly on it - is to insert a layer of software between the hardware and everything else.   Used to be this was a package called esd, then IIRC, alsa superceded that.   I think that's still the current solution.
[04:10] <puff> fallore: But I'
[04:10] <bobertdos> Scruffy00: I'm googling and I'm beginning to see that Treo's and Thunderbird haven't been mixing so well.
[04:10] <puff> fallore: But I'm on a borrowed laptop, so until I fix my wireless I can't give you more help.
[04:10] <fallore> puff: alright, thanks, i'll look into it
[04:11] <Scruffy00> bobertdos:  I noticed that too.  I am dual booting with Vista, but I don't like Outlook and I really am not fond of Vista.  I like Evolution and like Ubuntu, but I need the mail notification to work because I am not always around my laptop and sometimes I need to know when an e-mail arrives.
[04:12] <^Phantom^> i want to try vboxing winvista now :D
[04:13] <feng_> can you use wireless in ubuntu ?
[04:13] <puff> feng_: I'm actually looking for help wtih that :-).
[04:13] <^Phantom^> would it work in xp?
[04:13] <feng_> yes ,
[04:13] <puff> feng_: But generally, yes.
[04:13] <LSD|Ninja> feng_: sure. How easy it is depend on what wifi chip you have though
[04:13] <feng_> intel 3945
[04:13] <bobertdos> Scruffy00: Unfortunately, not having used Evolution much, I don't know how much help I can be.
[04:14] <LSD|Ninja> feng_: that should work out of the box
[04:14] <feng_> i've tried several times
[04:14] <J-n> scruffy00 do you have the plugin enabled?
[04:14] <feng_> i'm not sure
[04:14] <Scruffy00> bobertdos:  I appreciate the effort though.  I just wish I knew what to do.
[04:15] <LSD|Ninja> feng_: All the drivers and whatnot are present and loaded for those. All you need to do is set up your wifi lan in network manager
[04:15] <feng_> all done in ubuntu but wireless chip ,
[04:15] <Scruffy00> J-n:  Do you mean by going in to Edit>Plugins>finding Mail Notification and making sure the box is checked?
[04:15] <LSD|Ninja> feng_: what version of Ubuntu?
[04:15] <J-n> scruffy00 yeah
[04:15] <feng_> 8.04
[04:16] <Scruffy00> J-n: yeah, the box has been checked
[04:16] <feng_> what does it mean
[04:16] <LSD|Ninja> feng_: then it should work fine
[04:16] <bobertdos> Scruffy00: Let me just ask you this, what would be the ideal notification for you?
[04:17] <^Phantom^> is it possible to vbox vista on xp?
[04:17] <Leefmc> Flannel: You awake?
[04:17] <Scruffy00> A sound of somekind.  Currently in Vista I have a sound from Dr. Who.  That way it's distinct.  I work at a radio station so I need something to stand out.
[04:17] <Leefmc> jrgp: You awake?
[04:17] <pyrak> i just copied .mozilla-thunderbird from my old home, now when i start hunderbird it says its already running.  i need to delete a journal file or something, right?
[04:18] <pyrak> any help appreciated
[04:18] <Geoffrey2> every time I turn on the computer, I need to go into Network Settings, and manually reenter the WPA passkey in the wlan0 properties window, this USED to be handled automatically, now it isn't....the problem seems to have started when I switched from Roaming mode to specifying a specific wireless network to connect to
[04:18] <LSD|Ninja> Geoffrey2: isn't there a checkbox to save it?
[04:18] <smm289> If I use Home User Backup, and I have to replace a hard-drive, I just install ubuntu on the new drive and then use Home User Restore.  Then will everything be put back to the way it was before the failure.  I dont mean data I mean EVERYTHING
[04:19] <danbh_intrepid> Geoffrey2: /etc/network/interfaces is not too hard to setup, maybe you should try that
[04:19] <pyrak> i just copied .mozilla-thunderbird from my old home, now when i start hunderbird it says its already running.  i think i need to delete a file that thunderbird makes
[04:19] <LSD|Ninja> sucks for roaming though
[04:19] <pyrak> while it's running.  any ideas?
[04:20] <Geoffrey2> LSD, I'm getting the impression the problem is that the keyring is not unlocking...when I go into the wlan0 properties menu it shows a password already saved, when I re-enter the password, THEN I get a prompt for the password to unlock the master keyring....
[04:20] <bobertdos> Scruffy00: That's what I was thinking........Evolution should be able to do sound. Let me see.......
[04:21] <Geoffrey2> danbh_intrepid, actually, interfaces already appears to be set up........
[04:21] <feng_> which IDE of C++ you often use in ubuntu?
[04:21] <LSD|Ninja> Geoffrey2: you should be ablw to tell it to always allow access to the keyring
[04:22] <Leefmc> Question: After installing ubuntu and xp everything is fine with GRUB, except when i choose to boot into XP, xp gives an error about hal.dll missing. Google suggests this is a problem with xp's boot.ini, anyone have a good solution?
[04:22] <feng_>  which IDE of C++ you often use in ubuntu?
[04:22] <feng_>  which IDE of C++ you often use in ubuntu?
[04:22] <LSD|Ninja> ...
[04:22] <puff> feng_: Probably emacs :-).
[04:22] <arquebus> feng- anjuta
[04:22] <ender_> geany
[04:22] <puff> feng_: But eclipse is quite popular in the java world and I know it has C++ support as well.
[04:22] <Infinito_> emacs, geany.
[04:22] <Infinito_> eclipse more and more lately
[04:23] <ender_> anjuta some, too
[04:23] <louie_> Hello
[04:23] <pw-> does anyone have experience with ubuntu under tha sony vaio platform?
[04:23] <feng_> i'd like code autocomplete ide
[04:23] <pw-> the*
[04:23] <louie_> pw - no, but what's the problem
[04:23] <Flannel> Leefmc: What's up?  Best to just ask.
[04:24] <Cpudan80> feng_: Use monodevelop
[04:24] <daklan> pw-: i have. installed on a SZ- series
[04:24] <pw-> wireless card drivers, louie_, i googled it, seems to be a common problem, drivers don't work properly, some have gotten it to work, no one explains how
[04:24] <Cpudan80> feng_: C++ in eclipse sucks because of the way it tries to do compilation (ie every time you save)
[04:24] <pw-> daklan, this is the NR series
[04:24] <PDF_q> I am trying to run a cron task but for some reason nothing is happening. I used the crontab -e command set the cron task to 15 and 30 minutes, then used /etc/init.d/cron restart to get it to work but nothing is happening
[04:24] <Razer> why is the standard version of transmission used in Ubuntu so old?
[04:24] <Geoffrey2> LSD|Ninja, here's the contents of the interfaces file, minus the password, obviously..... http://pastebin.ca/1203040
[04:24] <daklan> pw-: might be different hardware. wireless card worked out of the box for me
[04:24] <Cpudan80> That may have changed with a newer plugin, but monodevelop is supposed to be the equivalent of Visual C++ feng_
[04:24] <louie_> pw - have you tired the new alpha 5
[04:25] <feng_> i've tried them ,but  seem not so good
[04:25] <Leefmc> Flannel: Already did :p
[04:25] <brody> has anyone had a problem with sound working/ not working with flash such as youtube in ubuntu?
[04:25] <Leefmc> Question: After installing ubuntu and xp everything is fine with GRUB, except when i choose to boot into XP, xp gives an error about hal.dll missing. Google suggests this is a problem with xp's boot.ini, anyone have a good solution?
[04:25] <pw-> louie_, i have not, what is it?
[04:25] <IndyGunFreak> pw-: what is the device?
[04:25] <louie_> the new version of ubuntu that's comming out oct. 30th
[04:25] <veritos> When I update a package with apt-get, does it overwrite the files in /etc? If so, does it keep a backup automatically?
[04:25] <Flannel> Leefmc: That is entirely an XP thing yes.  You've handed the boot off to windows, and its... doing whatever it does.
[04:26] <pw-> IndyGunFreak, let me find out
[04:26] <prog077> iwant anet cut program on ubuntu?
[04:26] <Leefmc> Flannel: Bummer
[04:26] <LSD|Ninja> prog077: what wifi chip do you have?
[04:26] <Leefmc> Flannel: Imma try somethin then, bbl, wish me luck
[04:26] <LSD|Ninja> prog077: ignore that
[04:26] <LSD|Ninja> pw-: what wifi chip do you have?
[04:26] <Flannel> veritos: It shouldn't overwrite anything, because they'll already be there.  If you make changes, it'll try and merge/ask you about merging said changes (but changes shouldn't matter)
[04:26] <shaka> hello there
[04:26] <Flam> Does EeeUbuntu work well for the 1000h model of Eee PC?
[04:26] <pw-> LSD|Ninja, IndyGunFreak: Atheros (AR5006EG)
[04:27] <IndyGunFreak> pw-: is that how lspci identifies it?
[04:27] <feng_> i use intel 3945 wifi chip ,but it doesn't work well
[04:27] <physically_fit> brody, $ sudo apt-get install libflashsupport
[04:27] <LSD|Ninja> Flam: 1000H has a hard drive, you shouldn't have to bother with cut-down stuff on it
[04:27] <Geoffrey2> danbh_intrepid, I pasted my interfaces file, minus the actual passkey, could you look and see if anything looks out of place? http://pastebin.ca/1203040
[04:27] <Flannel> veritos: er, changes shouldn't be big changes, not changes shouldn't matter.
[04:27] <veritos> Flannel: Thanks. Do I need to run anything special to merge them, or does it ask right away?
[04:27] <shaka> only i'm gonna ask you if you know about lhc
[04:27] <J-n> Scruffy00 this guy says he's got a python script that fixes the sound notification problems in evolution- check it out - http://thpinfo.com/2007/hacks/       i hope it helps.
[04:27] <Flannel> veritos: It shouldn't have any changes (except when upgrading from Ubuntu version to Ubuntu version)
[04:27] <pw-> IndyGunFreak, i'm not sure, i googled my laptop and got that, to find out through linux i'd have to run the live CD, then boot back into windows
[04:28] <shaka> please check it lhc
[04:28] <LSD|Ninja> 3945 is fine, problem is likely between keyboard and chair :P
[04:28] <Scruffy00> J-n:  I will take a look at it.  Thanks.
[04:28] <prog077> I am a junior on ubuntu  and a very slow speed Internet
[04:28] <shaka> see you latter alligator
[04:28] <kapace> k, all of a sudden, my printer stopped working, unless it has PS 2 filtering, what could cause this?
[04:28] <J-n> Scruffy00 might be outdated tho, dunno.
[04:28] <IndyGunFreak> pw-: it would proably help.. boot to Ubuntu, open a termianl and run "lspci"... no quotes.. and write down exactly how it identifies the device
[04:28] <pw-> ok, let me get in here with the desktop PC, and run the liveCD on the laptop
[04:29] <brody> physically_fit - k thanks man
[04:29] <IndyGunFreak> pw-: ok
[04:29] <J-n> Scruffy00 if it's any consolation, i spent this time setting up evolution so i could see if i could get the sound notification to work, and it seems when i click "Test" as well, i get no sound either.
[04:29] <tehdave_> Is there a reason OpenGL would stop working properly after running a "Fix X Server" in Hardy?
[04:29] <Flam> LSD|Ninja: I want something that works well out of the box, that's the thing.  If Eeeubuntu is tailored for Eees and comes prepackaged with it's drivers - im happy
[04:30] <Scruffy00> J-n:  I am glad that I am not the only one.  How do I use the script or install it....
[04:30] <Flam> if it's too cut down i can download stuff after it installs
[04:30] <brody> physically_fit -yea thanks man it works now
[04:30] <physically_fit> cool
[04:30] <J-n> Scruffy00 GOK lol
[04:30] <LSD|Ninja> pw-: That's one of the later ones that the version of madwifi in Hardy doesn't support. It should be supported come Intrepid though so if you can hold out a few more weeks you should be good
[04:30] <bobertdos> Scruffy00: You still here?
[04:30] <brody> later all
[04:30] <Scruffy00> bobertdos:  I am here
[04:31] <IndyGunFreak> LSD|Ninja: i was messing w/ Intrepid today, it doesn't support my atheros chipset yet(Ar242x)
[04:31] <bobertdos> Scruffy00: took a long time, but I found the settubg
[04:31] <pw--> LSD|Ninja, intrepid being 8.10?
[04:31] <LSD|Ninja> pw--: yeah
[04:31] <pw--> ok thank you, i can hold out =)
[04:31] <Scruffy00> bobertdos:  what is that?
[04:32] <IndyGunFreak> pw--: you can probalby get it working under hardy if you want to try....
[04:32] <danbh_intrepid> Geoffrey2: ok, maybe I dont know about your setup.  I set mine up differently
[04:32] <pw--> IndyGunFreak, still loading up the liveCD =)
[04:32] <bobertdos> It's under Edit->Plugins->Mail Notification->Configuration tab
[04:32] <IndyGunFreak> like i said, i messed w/ Intrepid a while today, and couldnt get my wireless going.
[04:32] <Flam> Now you made me nervous... should I install regular ubuntu on my eeepc 1000h?
[04:32] <LSD|Ninja> IndyGunFreak: you can get the drivers Intrepid will be using backported to Hardy but it's kinda messy
[04:32] <Scruffy00> bobertdos:  okay, let me take a look.
[04:32] <PDF_q> anyone?
[04:32] <pw--> this is a left field noob question, if overly stupid please ignore: is it possible to mount an existing NTFS partition to /home
[04:33] <Geoffrey2> danbh_intrepid, ok, thanks for trying...
[04:33] <IndyGunFreak> LSD|Ninja: well, i was trying to make it work w/ madwifi under Intrepid, the way I did under hardy, and that was no joy.
[04:33] <IndyGunFreak> pw--: you can mount it, not sure if you can mount it to /home though
[04:33] <LSD|Ninja> pw--: as /home, no. Into /home, sure
[04:33] <pw--> ah, hmm
[04:33] <Scruffy00> bobertdos:  okay, what am I looking for?
[04:33] <danbh_intrepid> Geoffrey2: you are  doing wpa-something for all your directives.  In mine, I do wireless-directive  where directive matches something from iwconfig
[04:34] <bobertdos> Scruffy00: Well, there should be a checkbox there for playing sound upon message arrival.
[04:34] <danbh_intrepid> Geoffrey2: "s/wpa/wireless/g"
[04:35] <danbh_intrepid> Geoffrey2: but, I wass looking through the man pages, and I couldnt find clear information
[04:35] <pw--> IndyGunFreak, i'm sorry, the log where you told me the command was on another IRC client which i closed, could you please repeat it?
[04:35] <Scruffy00> bobertdos:  I see it, and I have had the box checked.  J-n sent me to a web sit with a python script, but I don't know what to do with it.
[04:35] <IndyGunFreak> pw--: lspci  and see how it identifies your wireless chipset
[04:35] <Geoffrey2> danbh_intrepid, the thing is, I didn't set any of this up, Ubuntu created that file for me.....
[04:35] <pw--> thank you
[04:36] <J-n> bobertdos if you are at that window yourself, select a soundfile and click test, i tried it out myself and it's not working for me either, dont' need/want it.. but something does seem amiss
[04:36] <danbh_intrepid> Geoffrey2: ah, the critical flaw of linux.   documentation!!!!!!
[04:36] <rabiddachshund> is there a way to reserve desktop space so that maximized windows don't fill that area?
[04:36] <tehdave> Is there a reason OpenGL would break after running a "Fix X Server" under Hardy?
[04:36] <Geoffrey2> danbh_intrepid, it probably doesn't help that I'm having ubuntu auto login instead of giving me a login screen every time I start up
[04:37] <bobertdos> Scruffy00: Well , see if it works normally for you first. If it doesn't, I wonder if it might be because Evolution has issues with Pulse..........just a guess.
[04:37] <Scruffy00> J-n:  I've downloaded the python script that was on the website you sent me to.  How do I install it or get it to where it needs to be?
[04:37] <pw--> IndyGunFreak, Atheros Communications Inc. AR242x 802.11abg Wireless PCI Express Adapter (rev 01)
[04:37] <IndyGunFreak> pw--: that device is pretty easy actually, are you using 32bit or 64bit?
[04:37] <pw--> 32bit.
[04:37] <J-n> Scruffy00 i'm sorry.. i dont really know, reaching the limit of my exp here.
[04:37] <IndyGunFreak> pw--: its honestly extremely easy(i'm using it right now)
[04:38] <pw--> \o/
[04:38] <Scruffy00> bobertdos:  It doesn't play a sound for me, I want to try the python script, and if that doesn't work I have got to guess it's broke.
[04:38] <Scruffy00> J-n: that's okay, you have helped and I appreciate it.
[04:38] <IndyGunFreak> you need to install a version of madwifi made for it though.. any chance you can hook your laptop up by ethernet cable for about 10min?
[04:39] <pw--> IndyGunFreak, i can try, last time i did, though, it did not recognize the hard port either
[04:39] <Geoffrey2> back when I first installed this version, the login screen was totally screwed up, as your username and password would appear in something like 100 point text in the login window, so I set ubuntu to automatically log me in, since I'm the only one who uses this computer anyway.....
[04:39]  * pw-- wanders off to look for an ethernet cable
[04:39] <IndyGunFreak> pw--: hmm, i see
[04:39] <J-n> Scruffy00 i'm sure there is someone else with a similar prob as us, out there, i'm just too unmotivated for a real google search on the issue.. but its certainly a problem with evolution and probally not with your particular setup.. at least that's my GUESS.
[04:40] <IndyGunFreak> LSD|Ninja: how difficult is it to install build-essential on w/o an internet connection?.. i've never had much luck w/ it.
[04:41] <LSD|Ninja> IndyGunFreak: no idea, I don't recall ever really using it
[04:41] <IndyGunFreak> hmm
[04:42] <LSD|Ninja> The Atheros in my ubuntu P4 is supported OOB by madwifi in Hardy and ath5k in Intrepid so I've never had to bother with it
[04:42] <IndyGunFreak> LSD|Ninja: hmm,
[04:43] <IndyGunFreak> LSD|Ninja: that 242x one is a pain, only worked on gutsy w/ a patched madwifi... and doesn't work w/ the current version of madwifi
[04:43] <LSD|Ninja> IndyGunFreak: You need ath9k for those AR242x things which I was assured will be in Intrepid on I couldn't find it last I looked...
[04:43] <IndyGunFreak> LSD|Ninja: yeah, i tried today for a while to get it to work... no joy
[04:43] <ender_> Are all signed integer datatypes (char, short int, int, long int, long long int) in linux, **always** stored as 2's complement?
[04:44] <danbh_intrepid> LSD|Ninja: Im using ath9k right now
[04:44] <Beck> what's the equivalent of 'mount -t cifs -o username=name,password=pass //192.168.0.1/share /mnt/a' for fstab, this doesn't work:
[04:44] <Beck> //192.168.0.1/share         /mnt/a         cifs           rw,mand,username=name,password=pass        0           0
[04:44] <danbh_intrepid> IndyGunFreak: you were trying the ath9k drivers?
[04:44] <Guest39607> IndyGunFreak, no go with the wired connection
[04:44] <LSD|Ninja> danbh_intrepid: what's the name of the module? modinfo never returned anything for any permutation of ath9k I tried
[04:45] <IndyGunFreak> danbh_intrepid: i was using madwifi..
[04:45] <LSD|Ninja> madwifi doesn't support AR242x afaik, you need ath9k
[04:45] <danbh_intrepid> LSD|Ninja: sorry, I dont know how to use modinfo, or search drivers whatever
[04:45] <pw-> ah, another guy with AR242x? poor chap
[04:46] <IndyGunFreak> LSD|Ninja: i have a verison of madwifi that does, thats what pw- needs, but he'll need to install build essential, and i can rapidshare the file to him.
[04:46] <IndyGunFreak> problem is, i don't know how to install build-essential, w/o an internet connection
[04:46] <pw-> hmm, that is a bit of a problem =\
[04:46] <IndyGunFreak> yup..
[04:46] <chubs_> IndyGunFreak, just download the deb?
[04:46] <pjotr> IndyGunFreak: build-essential dependencies g++ g++-4.2 libstdc++6-4.2-dev
[04:47] <LSD|Ninja> IndyGunFreak: I was just going on what I read over at the madwifi site. I only have ath_pci/ath5k cards and don't care one way or the other how well Linux supports the one in my MacBook :P
[04:47] <IndyGunFreak> pjotr: then you ahve to tr ty to find the dependencies for everything else
[04:47] <danbh_intrepid> LSD|Ninja: http://pastebin.com/f290c50dd
[04:47] <Scruffy00> Thanks, for all the help.  I am heading to bed.  I will see if I can get this whole Evolution sound issue taken care of.
[04:47] <chubs_> the dependencies for g++ and libstdc are probably satisfied
[04:48] <LSD|Ninja> danbh_intrepid: I'll have to take another look when I get the machine built back up
[04:49] <pw-> i'll just wait for 8.10 =)
[04:50] <IndyGunFreak> pw-: it shouldn't be that hard to be truthful.
[04:50] <danbh_intrepid> LSD|Ninja: btw, that paste was just of modinfo ath9k
[04:50] <pw-> aye, but i think the 8.10 release will fit with my installation time, also, between now and the time i decide to install, i need to find a way to back up about 90 GB of stuff
[04:50] <pw-> hence my previous question about NTFS
[04:51] <IndyGunFreak> pw-: i see.. wel yeah, backing up is good, but like i said earlier... i spent a couple hours trying to get that device working w/ Intrepid today, w/ no joy
[04:51] <qfhost> :-*
[04:51] <bouma> can anyone recommend a small ubuntu boot cd with clamav or someother antivirus ??
[04:51] <LSD|Ninja> IndyGunFreak: It shouldn't be hard, Atheros are usually good but between the drivers being in a state of transition (both upstream and in ubuntu) and Ubuntu being a little slow to roll out madwifi updates we're in a bit of a rough patch right now
[04:51] <pw-> hmm
[04:51] <qfhost> quit
[04:51] <IndyGunFreak> LSD|Ninja: i know..
[04:52] <IndyGunFreak> LSD|Ninja: madwifi is not the problem, i have the version of madwifi he needs, he needs to install build-essential, and i've just never had luck installing that w/o an internet connection
[04:53] <IndyGunFreak> pw-: so you've not actuallly installed Ubuntu yet on the laptop
[04:53] <chubs_> IndyGunFreak, http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/build-essential
[04:54] <lymeca> m trying to install hardy on a Macbook and it succeeded but GRUB won't work!  I'm in the live CD and am trying to finish installing GRUB, what can I do?
[04:55] <jp73107> Anyone know where i can find information about making my own init scripts?
[04:56] <jp73107> basically want my server to automatically start a command so i don't have to login and do it everytime i start the server
[04:56] <chubs_> jp73107, rc.local will do that for you
[04:56] <jp73107> yeah but i'm not sure what to put into rc.local heh
[04:56] <jp73107> just stick the command in there?
[04:57] <chubs_> yeah, depending on what it is. what is it?
[04:57] <orifice> is there a way to check the size of an unformatted drive ?
[04:57] <jp73107>       /kolab/bin/openpkg rc all start
[04:57] <jp73107> is the command
[04:57] <PDF_q> my cron tasks aren't working, I set them with crontab -e and restarted the cron with /etc/init.d/cron restart, does anyone else know what I need to do?
[04:58] <amenado> orifice-> fdisk /dev/sdx  x being the new drive, and then go through the menu
[04:58] <jp73107> starts the kolab server application so i'm guessing i just put that command above the exit 0 line?
[04:58] <orifice> I guess what I want to do is create partition that spans the whole disk from a script
[04:58] <orifice> independent of drive size
[04:58] <amenado> orifice look into using LVM
[04:58] <chubs_> jp73107, try it out
[04:59] <ender_> Are all signed integer datatypes (char, short int, int, long int, long long int) in linux, **always** stored as 2's complement?
[04:59] <orifice> I have.  This is for an automatic deployment script
[04:59] <jp73107> well that was stupid easy
[04:59] <jp73107> lol
[04:59] <orifice> I'd like to stay away from LVMs
[04:59] <jp73107> thanks chubs
[04:59] <chubs_> jp73107, you might want to make that an if statement though
[05:00] <jp73107> i think i'm going to remove it now, looks like it started twice, i guess kolab put the init script into init.d for me
[05:00] <chubs_> jp73107, haha. alright
[05:00] <amenado> orifice-> then perhaps NAS ?
[05:00] <PDF_q> anyone?
[05:00] <jp73107> and this is the case.. heh
[05:01] <ender_> what's a good irc channel on freenode for asking linux dev questions?

[05:02] <LSD|Ninja> pw-: If you don't mind dual booting for 6-8 weeks you can try Intrepid out now and help get wireless working
[05:02] <pw-> i cannot help in any way, LSD|Ninja, i am better at breaking things

[05:03] <tehdave> Is there a way to fix OpenGL if it's stopped working properly?
[05:03] <pawan> how to scan for hardware changes
[05:03] <linus> pawan: open the case and look for new hardware
[05:03] <ender_> danka
[05:04] <pawan> how
[05:04] <tehdave> It seems to be working via Compiz-fusion, but when I try to run Wine, it gives an error saying "direct3d needs Opengl"
[05:04] <daklan> linus: best answer i ever heard tonight :)
[05:04] <pawan> i have pluged in tv tuner card
[05:04] <pawan> now how to install it
[05:04] <tehdave> pawan: lspci
[05:04] <tehdave> should show the new card in a line
[05:04] <linus> pawan: cd /usr/src/linux/Documentation ya

[05:05] <tehdave> crdlb, Nvidia Geforce 8800
[05:05] <pawan> pixel view
[05:05] <crdlb> tehdave: "glxinfo | grep direct" ?
[05:05] <pawan> it is not showing
[05:05] <tehdave> "Direct Rendering: NO"
[05:06] <tehdave> where do I go to set the flag it's telling me about?

[05:08] <hacked_kernel> how to know the environment variables of a process?
[05:08] <PDF_q> does anyone know about cron tasks?
[05:08] <crdlb> tehdave: uninstall xserver-xgl; you don't need it. Wine tests for 3d acceleration by checking for direct rendering which Xgl does not provide to apps (wine is broken in this respect, but that's another story)
[05:08] <tehdave> crdlib: ah
[05:09] <crdlb> your next session will not use Xgl
[05:09] <Infinito_> PDF_q, we do. What do you wanna know?
[05:09] <tehdave> crdlb, I can just restart X right
[05:09] <crdlb> tehdave: yes, but you don't even need to go that far; logging out is enough
[05:09] <tehdave> crdlb, oi, thanks
[05:10] <tehdave> crdlb, i'll let you know if it works (and doesn't mess up Compiz-fusion) XD
[05:10] <PDF_q> inf I am trying to start a cron task, I am using crontab -e set the crontask to one minute, then restart the cron with /etc/init.d/cron restart but for some reason it doesnt work

[05:22] <LGKeiz> o.O
[05:22] <J2000_ca> this is a really silly question but how to you select something when configuring a package with apt-get?
[05:22] <Sonicadvance1> That's because he's a Super troll xD
[05:27] <levander> I'm running Gutsy still.  Is that version 7.10 or 8.04?
[05:27] <dignan> shuttle worth is really an astronaut

[05:27] <dignan> that's kind of insane
[05:29] <remitaylor> i've installed a .deb which overwrites a library on my machine (fixes a bug in the library) and it makes apt really angry - apt marks packages that depend on the library as broken and it wants to overwrite my bugfix.  does anyone know howto fix this / keep it from happening?  i haven't gotten a 'hold' or pinning to work.
[05:29] <cgentry72> i'm having problems with flash/firefox how can i fix this
[05:30] <Invert314> why is there no mesa deb on getdeb.com?
[05:32] <Jordan_U> Invert314: Mesa is a library, getdeb only has applications, and it doesn't claim to have all apps either
[05:32] <rob> im new to kubuntu (linux) and i installed something that keeps asking me for domain name of my server how can i fix this
[05:32] <Invert314> ty Jordan_U

[05:46] <kapace> what is the shell that appears when i press Ctrl+alt+F1 called?
[05:46] <kapace> or how do i change the colors in that shell?
[05:46] <Cpudan80> kapace: that's just a bare terminal
[05:46] <kapace> no colors?

[05:47] <kapace> is there a way to make gnome-term fullscreen?
[05:47] <Cpudan80> kapace: You can set it so that certain programs (ie. vim) display for "dark backgrounds"
[05:47] <Cpudan80> kapace: yes - with the window active hit F11
[05:47] <kapace> ok
[05:48] <Cpudan80> its not the best fullscreen
[05:48] <Cpudan80> but it is fullscreen
[05:48] <Cpudan80> you can achieve the same effect by just maximizing the window
[05:48] <kapace> yes, cool enough

[05:53] <oliveira> thanks
[05:53] <izinucs> np :)
[05:54] <yaro> try to run it from the terminal, I get the following: http://paste.ubuntu.com/47080/
[05:54] <damo> ( Operating System ) Linux Ubuntu 8.04 - hardy Kernel: 2.6.24-19-generic, GNU/Linux | Xorg: 1.4.0.90 | Desktop: KDE: 3.5.9GNOME 2.22.2 | IRC CLient: X-Chat v.2.8.4
[05:54] <marshall> hey guys
[05:55] <TopBunny88> whats up marshall ?
[05:55] <Daft_Punk> whats up
[05:55] <Agrajag-> so if i've got a wired connection and i want to share that wired connection over wireless (so i'd be an access point), does NetworkManager support doing this?
[05:55] <marshall> ive installed ATI proprietary drivers on my hardy system and id like to go back to the old open source drivers. how do i uninstall the proprietary ones?
[05:55] <kapace> daft punk is here!! wooo!
[05:55] <yaro> Any ideas on how I can get alsamixer working? Kinda need it to get my rescording on Audacity.
[05:55] <soltek> Hello, I'm a newbie and would like to know what are considered to be executable files on a Linux system. I'm trying Ubuntu.
[05:55] <Daft_Punk> Agrajag, you need a wireless access point module or wireless hub or router to broadcast the signal, your computer can't do that
[05:56] <Daft_Punk> soltek, .deb files are executable, but anything you can and need to install is in the add/remove programs section under applications
[05:56] <damo> exacly what i have
[05:56] <damo> :P
[05:56] <Agrajag-> Daft_Punk: ah right ok ta
[05:56] <Daft_Punk> soltek, some applications may not be installable until you have the correct repositories added
[05:56] <remitaylor> remitaylor: in response to my own question (for the log) ... i should re-package the deb with an incremented version number and then apt shouldn't complain anymore (props to #debian for helping out, altho they were very mean to me because i'm using ubuntu, not debian).  apt is auto-upgrading my package because the version number isn't higher than the current one.
[05:56] <Agrajag-> what does "Create new wireless network" in networkmanager actually do? I can't seem to find networkmanager documentation
[05:57] <izinucs> soltek, in my limited understanding linux is a text based system so a text file could be executable. so can .jar files .. .deb ... .bin..  .sh   etc.. it's not as clear cut as widows when it comes to executibles
[05:57] <Daft_Punk> Agrajag, if you can't find your network through broadcasting, (IE your ssid is silent) then you can manually add the wireless network information in (if you know your ssid and key)
[05:57] <Daft_Punk> Agrajag, you have to have a wireless router and you have to set up your wireless network (instructions come with the wireless router)
[05:57] <yaro> No one knows what I can do to fix alsamixer?
[05:58] <soltek> Thanks, I guess that about covers it.
[05:59] <Daft_Punk> yaro, sorry...
[05:59] <Daft_Punk> yaro, just keep asking your question every couple of minutes (dont screen flood) and someone should be able to help you
[05:59] <delfick> hello, does anyone know how I'd go about making a link to a folder using the commandline ?? "ln -s testFolder destinationFolder" makes a link but it say it's broken .....
[05:59] <Agrajag-> Daft_Punk: i don't think what you said is correct. if it is, what's the difference between "Connect to other wireless network" and "Create New Wireless Network"?
[06:00] <Daft_Punk> Agrajag, I know what I said is correct, a computer can NOT broadcast wireless signals, you must purchase a wireless router
[06:01] <Daft_Punk> Agrajag, if you have a wireless network you can broadcast the ssid or keep it hidden. if it is broadcasted you can search for ssid and connect to other wireless network. if your ssid is hidden you must enter in the ssid and key manually hence "create new wireless network"
[06:01] <Cpudan80> Hello all
[06:01] <Cpudan80> I'm having a problem with rhythmbox
[06:01] <Cpudan80> it keeps finding duplicates of all my music
[06:01] <Daft_Punk> !ask Cpudan80
[06:01] <Daft_Punk> darn
[06:01] <Cpudan80> Like /home/debrac/music is a symlink over to my external
[06:01] <LSD|Ninja> hidden SSIDs aren't secure and they create more problems than they solve so meh
[06:01] <Agrajag-> Daft_Punk: that's what the "Connect to other wireless network" option is for. the "Create New Wireless Network" clearly does something else.
[06:02] <Cpudan80> It worked fine before..... any ideas why it might have stopped working?
[06:02] <Daft_Punk> LSD|Ninja, true... but im just trying to explain to Agrajag that "create new wireless network" under network manager does not mean your computer can turn itself into a router and start broadcasting wireless signals
[06:02] <yaro> I ask again: I can't get alsamixer to run. My console output can be found here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/47080/
[06:02] <Daft_Punk> Agrajag, I gave you an answer, if you don't want to listen, that's up to you...
[06:02] <jrgp> !ops
[06:02] <Agrajag-> Daft_Punk: your answer is incorrect.
[06:03] <jrgp> hmf
[06:03] <Flannel> jrgp: yes?
[06:03] <jrgp> just wondering what that command did
[06:03] <jrgp> no problems
[06:03] <Madpilot> jrgp, was there a good reason for that?
[06:03] <cwgannon> aloha.  i've noticed a delay in click response time and tooltip display time now that i've plugged in a second monitor?  any ideas what could be causing this would be appreciated
[06:03] <Daft_Punk> hah wow
[06:03] <jrgp> sorry for calling it for no reason
[06:03] <Madpilot> Ah, No,.
[06:03] <Realcoolguy> Agrajag: there is an adhock mode that may or may not be supported, and is what you should be looking into for making your laptop an access point (you both have to bridge your wired connection and supply your adhock connection)
[06:03] <jrgp> apparentkly not
[06:03] <Flannel> jrgp: please don't do that.  Try commands out in queries
[06:03] <Oxygenfa1> hey guys. I got this really sweet dock theme going on right now for ubuntu. I want to get rid of my top panel (no hide, just get rid of it) but have it so that I can right click. Kind of like flux box
[06:04] <chubs_> Oxygenfa1, install fluxbox?
[06:04] <Oxygenfa1> I still want the program list etc, I just want to have that come up as if I were using flux box. By right clicking
[06:04] <ubunt2> can anyone tell me how to have an audio file (.asx) launch upon login?
[06:04] <JW> Hello
[06:04] <Oxygenfa1> Well my compiz and dock wont work right ?
[06:04] <Oxygenfa1> Cause thats gnome
[06:04] <Daft_Punk> Oxygenfa1, you can change the program list etc... to a single icon instead of "applications, places, system"
[06:05] <JW> Is there a guide that can show me how to setup an Ubuntu ShoutCAST server please?
[06:05] <chubs_> Oxygenfa1, you can get docks for flux, compiz not so sure about but i think there is some sort of compositing
[06:05] <Daft_Punk> Oxygenfa1, and you can have the start menu "icon" mounted as a desklet, just floating on your desk
[06:05] <Flannel> JW: icecast is the alternative in the repos
[06:05] <Oxygenfa1> How sir ?
[06:05] <chubs_> Oxygenfa1, not sure about the right click menu in gnome though
[06:05] <Oxygenfa1> thx chubs
[06:05] <Daft_Punk> Oxygenfa1, did you want to do it that way?
[06:05] <yaro> I ask again: I can't get alsamixer to run. My console output can be found here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/47080/
[06:05] <Oxygenfa1> Ill try it

[06:21] <yaro> JDD: That package might fix my problem?
[06:21] <jdd> yaro: nevermind, I misread the package-name in that, sorry.
[06:21] <wariskampar> can anyone help me with this message in terminal
[06:21] <wariskampar> http://paste.ubuntu.com/47082/
[06:21] <Loco_Igvan> good night people..
[06:22] <yaro> Wariskampar: Don't worry about it.
[06:22] <maxtor211> How do I change the logo by Applications>
[06:22] <jdd> yaro: actually, nevermind the nevermind. If you read through the messages on that bug report, it looks like that _is_ your problem, and it's probably not fixable right now.
[06:22] <wariskampar> yaro: do i need to do anything
[06:23] <yaro> Wariskampar: It is merely saying in the next version of the Murrine GTK+ engine, that feature will no longer be there and the developers of the theme need to drop it. And no, you just ignore it. :P
[06:23] <wariskampar> ok..thanks
[06:23] <yaro> Wariskampar: You're welcome.
[06:23] <jdd> yaro: maybe uninstall alsa and install it from source?
[06:23] <Cavalry> can't get CSS working in wine... keeps crashing about 10-20 seconds into the game (when i join a server)
[06:24] <Flannel> Cavalry: try #winehq
[06:24] <yaro> JDD: :X That scares me. Usually whenever I fiddle too much with sound I break it ocmpletely and all Ireally can't do is get recordings working in Audacity and the alsamixer doesn't run.
[06:25] <yaro> JDD: I think it might be something *I* did, seeing as my sister has 62-bit hardy with PulseAudio and she can run alsamixer fine.
[06:25] <yaro> 64*
[06:25] <JW> whats the command to give access of a folder to a user?
[06:25] <JW> folder and supfolder
[06:25] <chubs_> yaro, I was going to say those 2 bits might be the issue ;)
[06:25] <Rat409> JW: chown
[06:25] <yaro> jw: You can either chown it to the user or chmod its permissions.
[06:26] <Rat409> yup
[06:26] <chubs_> JW, chown -r
[06:26] <chubs_> for recursiveness (subfolders)
[06:27] <jdd> yaro: I don't know enough about running ubuntu on 64 bit to know if that would even solve your problems. I doubt that your sister being able to run it necessarily means that you can, unless you have the same sound card as her.
[06:27] <yaro> JDD: Her computer is basically a souped up version of mine, most our hardware is identical.

[06:28] <RadishRabbit1> I use Ubuntu with GNOME
[06:28] <Rat409> !ru | dmitriy
[06:28] <RadishRabbit1> and sometimes, sometimes i can't type into textbox
[06:28] <RadishRabbit1> but using the mouse "cut" "paste" works
[06:29] <Eddwin> how can i install a Dual monitor using the ATI Radeon card
[06:29] <Eddwin> i got 5 hours using Linux
[06:29] <chubs_> RadishRabbit1, more information may help us out. a specific program for example, and any idea when these sometimes are
[06:30] <jdd> Oh, I think I may have figured out my problem. Anyone know how to regenerate the /dev directory on the fly?
[06:30] <jdd>

[06:30] <RadishRabbit1> Texmaker
[06:30] <RadishRabbit1> when i try to save a file
[06:30] <RadishRabbit1> typing has no response
[06:30] <Emmett> Does anyone know how to limit sudo by IP?
[06:30] <RadishRabbit1> also matlab
[06:30] <Emmett> for example, 'allow this user to run commands as root, but only from this IP?'
[06:30] <RadishRabbit1> but if i start clicking around
[06:30] <RadishRabbit1> then back to command window
[06:30] <RadishRabbit1> it might work
[06:30] <yaro> There is one annoyance I'd love to clear out. Sometimes when playing videos, either from DVDs or locally from the hard disk, sometimes GNOME completely stops, except for sound, for maybe 10 seconds, then starts up again.
[06:31] <jdd> Emmett: I don't know if you can or not but it should be in "man sudoers" if you can. You can definately limit it by user.
[06:31] <rubydiamond> How do I see installed fonts in ubuntu?
[06:32] <Eddwin> got this  ATI Technologies Inc RV505 [Radeon X1550 64-b

[06:37] <Wicked> hello all. i cant seem to connect my phone to my computer so i can get things off of it. any ideas?

[06:38] <Flannel> spx2: #ubuntu-offtopic for non-support questions, thanks.
[06:38] <jdd> btw, if anyone runs into the same problem i did, "sudo /etc/init.d/udev restart" will regenerate the /dev directory.
[06:38] <surgy> cpudan do you have a torrent of the latest kubuntu dvd image?

[06:48] <WIGGMPk> does Medibuntu have its own channel?
[06:48] <parker> 想问下
[06:49] <Geekthras> Well Ubuntu (Xubuntu in fact, though that should make no difference) froze up recently and upon startup dropped to a grub shell of some kind. Poking around, I found it referencing /ubuntu/disks/something, so I booted up Windows and checked this mythical C:/ubuntu/disks/whatever when - lo and behold - I found it was corrupted and unreadable. Do I basically get to reinstall ubuntu? Or is there...
[06:49] <Geekthras> ...any way at all to fix this?
[06:49] <parker> 装上UBUNTU后没有声音
[06:49] <parker> 声音显示是好的
[06:49] <Flannel> !cn | parker
[06:50] <Geekthras> (reinstalling ubuntu's not a big issue for me, just the data would be nice)
[06:52] <Flannel> Geekthras: You're using wubi?
[06:52] <Geekthras> Yes
[06:52] <koshar1> Geekthras can you run fsck
[06:52] <afallenhope> anyone know how to sync an iPod touch? I have music synced.. just want vids
[06:52] <koshar1> Geekthras sorry i missed the wubi bit
[06:54] <wgato> mpd has a bunch of features i need disabled and i was told to install the needed dependancies.  how do i find out what ones i need?
[06:54] <Flannel> Geekthras: I'm not sure there is any way to fix it, no.  You could try using windows and running checkdisk, or whatever.  See if it can fix it.
[06:54] <Geekthras> bah now I need to figure out how chkdsk works
[06:55] <ensi> hi, im trying to modprobe ndiswrapper.ko, but modprobe just says that the module is not found but it in fact is located in modules/midsc
[06:55] <ensi> modules/misc even
[06:56] <wgato> rephrase: mpd listed some options that i need as disabled.  how do i fiure out what dependancies i need to install to enable the options?
[06:56] <ensi> any ideas=
[06:59] <negge> htop is telling me that the CPU is running at 100% but I can't find any process that uses that much. How do I find out?

[07:08] <Aperson> I'm very intrigues by linux/unbuntu, but I'm still running windows. Can anyone point me in the right direction? I'm pretty new at this, but I would like if someone could explain some stuff for me?! thanks!
[07:08] <dunas> Aperson: What do you want to know?
[07:08] <Aperson> Where should I start off? I'm taking an operating systems class now in school, but I want to do some stuff at-home
[07:09] <Aperson> Looking to get linux installed as a start and then getting my programs to work on the OS.
[07:09] <waan> Aperson, ubuntu.com has all the info you'll need to get going with ubuntu
[07:09] <dunas> Well, Ubuntu is definitely a good place to start. Have you checked the website?
[07:09] <Aperson> I'm doing that now
[07:09] <Flannel> Aperson: Best way to get questions answered is to ask them.  https://help.ubuntu.com/ has a good rundown, for how to install: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation  first four steps on that page
[07:09] <mesh_> Anyone know offhand the path for azureus/azureus plugins???
[07:09] <waan> Aperson, you just need to download ubuntu, burn it to cd and pop it in
[07:10] <ganesh> ﻿ can any one help me with gnome session problem?
[07:10] <Aperson> Cool cool, i've heard about using Whine to play games, it is easy to do?
[07:10] <Aperson> Theoretically I can get most of my 'main' programs/games to run on the OS?
[07:10] <dunas> Well, first, it's 'wine'- and it depends on the game.
[07:10] <Aperson> Oh, sorry.
[07:10] <dstrbdfrk> can someone tall me how to install a pidgin screenlet
[07:10] <dstrbdfrk> or rather how to extrct the screenlet file to this location b/c i cant find it
[07:10] <dstrbdfrk>  ~/.screenlets/Pidgin/themes
[07:11] <Flannel> Aperson: Like what?
[07:11] <dunas> It's alright, no harm. A good place to get info on wine is http://www.winehq.org/
[07:11] <Aperson> I'm going to assume WoW runs on Linus, but what about STEAM games?
[07:11] <Aperson> linux*
[07:11] <dunas> I've been running Counter-Strike Source and Team Fortress 2 just fine through wine.
[07:11] <Aperson> Oh cool, I play CS1.6
[07:11] <dunas> Should work.
[07:12] <mrynit_> for some reason my wifi is no longer working in 8.04. I put in my 8.04 install CD and wifi works fine with it
[07:12] <Aperson> Thanks for the links. I feel rather lazy, but I wasn't sure if I should start with unbuntu and wanted to make sure I was reading the RIGHT stuff.
[07:12] <dunas> Aperson: The best advice I can actually give you if you're going to start using linux is twofold. First, don't be afraid to ask questions, and second, be ready to learn- it's not Windows. :)
[07:13] <dunas> And just as a general rule for anything, but especially this: Google is your best friend.
[07:14] <Aperson> Yea definitely.
[07:14] <Aperson> I looked around and it seems unbuntu would be a good start, just wanted a little confirmation :)
[07:14] <Flannel> Aperson: check help.ubuntu.com/community/ before googling though.
[07:14] <hotmonkeyluv> can I have an ati and an nVidia card on the same system? (and have them both work)
[07:14] <Geekthras> dear anyone who remembers the por-blom I have: I can't fsck, because the grub shell is extremely limited, but I can chkdsk
[07:15] <Aperson> I'm running windows now, should I bother installing two OS' or should I just del windows and install a fresh copy of linux?
[07:15] <Flannel> Aperson: dualbooting works fine.
[07:15] <Flannel> !dualboot | Aperson
[07:15] <Aperson> Awesome
[07:16] <Geekthras> Aperson: keey windows running, in case what happened to me happens to you

[07:29] <ykphuah> JW: you need this -> sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager

[07:37] <jvargas> i can perform a "dig myhost" and it says the correct IP, but a "ping myhost" uses old IP.
[07:37] <ykphuah> JW: have you searched for the software using synaptics? installing a package using .sh file is the last resort.
[07:38] <ykphuah> JW: I think you can try WINE first... look for that in the synaptics.
[07:39] <P1ro> koshar1, where its locate te xorg.conf ?
[07:39] <koshar1> P1ro /etc/X11
[07:40] <Saruto> Hi
[07:40] <koshar1> P1ro if sometimes xorg dont get an edid it will criple the output to protect the screen
[07:40] <Saruto> How can I open a port beyond 1024 for a non root application?
[07:41] <P1ro> koshar1, well i just install ubuntu
[07:41] <P1ro> and my screen es weird
[07:41] <koshar1> P1ro ok, , or you may need to install other video drivers , ie intel ones.
[07:41] <Prophetu> Flannel : yes , looks like that
[07:42]  * Rynol reiterates. Recent Hardy install. Menubar locks up. Sound dies. Usually associated with just after closing some programs and opening new ones. What's with that?
[07:42] <P1ro> koshar1, i have loaded the intel module
[07:42] <ganesh> can any one help me with uninstalling wine and other packages installed on wine completely?
[07:42] <P1ro> koshar1, lastest version of ubuntu too
[07:42] <Flannel> ganesh: sudo apt-get remove --purge wine && rm -r ~/.wine
[07:43] <Flannel> ganesh: (basically, remove the package, and delete your ~/.wine folder)
[07:44] <Flannel> Prophetu: Did that bugreport have a workaround?  Otherwise, unfortunately it seems you'll just have to wait for a fix
[07:44] <P1ro> well i dont see anything weird on xorg.conf
[07:44] <Prophetu> Flannel : look here , i paste all the error : http://paste.ubuntu.com/47089/
[07:45] <ganesh>  Flannel:ya i did it.. still i can see wine on application
[07:45] <Flannel> ganesh: Right, You'll ahve to manually edit your menus and remove those
[07:46] <davetarmac> anyone here know a good web development environment for 8.04 using GNOME? I've tried Aptana/Eclipse and other derivitives but  keep getting Java errors (at least, they look like Java errors). Ideally I'd like one that plays nicely in GNOME and supports PHP
[07:46] <ganesh> Flannel:how do i do that?
[07:46] <dunas> Argh, Ubuntu won't play nice with this laptop...
[07:46] <Flannel> ganesh: There's an "edit menu" (or something like it) entry somewhere in the menus
[07:47] <koshar1> P1ro precisely what chipset is it?
[07:47] <Silen7> connect irc.freenode.net 6667
[07:47] <dunas> I forgot the command to see loaded modules and the command to see internet devices
[07:47] <LurkersA> ganesh: right click on 'Applications', and select "Edit Menu"
[07:47] <dunas> Can someone lend me a hand?
[07:47] <ykphuah> ganesh: I think all applications that you install using wine goes into ~/.wine
[07:47] <ykphuah> ganesh: if you want to remove everything, just remove that directory.
[07:47] <Rynol> I request help in resolving a menubar lockup bug. Is anyone willing... to help...
[07:48] <LurkersA> Rynol: Can you be a little more descriptive? People are more likely to respond if there is some idea of why the problem is occuring
[07:49] <Rynol> Okay, okay. I just figured I needed someone's attention before I could go into details, lest it be seen as spammy.
[07:50] <Rynol> Anyway, basically... after running for an hour or so, more if I don't close or open new programs that often, either...
[07:50] <Rynol> A) the sound dies completely.
[07:50] <LurkersA> Rynol: Sound can be fixed by typing 'sudo alsa force-reload' into a terminal
[07:50] <LurkersA> Rynol: Something to do with flash I believe
[07:50] <ykphuah> Rynol: nobody will give you attention unless you give more details. :)
[07:50] <Rynol> B - and more often) the top menubar completely locks, as does any keycombo or similar to trigger the things accessible from it - like how I can tap power lightly to open the shutdown.
[07:50] <Rynol> Sorry!
[07:51] <Rynol> Huge channels intimidate me.
[07:51] <Rynol> I'm used to 20 people tops.
[07:51] <Rynol> But thanks for the sound, I'll try that next time it happens.
[07:51] <ykphuah> Rynol: my sound locks too when I go to youtube using firefox, I have to quit my firefox to get sound back.
[07:51] <falstaff> I want to use yahoo instant messenger ... can I do it using wine??
[07:51] <LurkersA> Rynol: Is it a laptop? If so, it could be trying to hibernate or something, causing the bar to lockup
[07:51] <Rynol> Laptop, but...
[07:52] <Rynol> ...It happens usually after closing a program.
[07:52] <Rynol> Not after being left alone.
[07:52] <ykphuah> falstaff: pidgin not serving your needs?
[07:52] <Rynol> So I doubt it's hibernation attempt.
[07:52] <LurkersA> ykphuah: Rynol: Sound issue is linked to the flash player, typing 'sudo alsa force-reload' into a terminal fixes it
[07:52] <ykphuah> LurkersA: will that take sound away from my firefox?
[07:52] <Rynol> What about the bar?
[07:53] <ykphuah> LurkersA: i mean, from flash content inside my firefox?
[07:53] <falstaff> ykphuah, pidgin is good but I like the sound yahoo messenger a little better.
[07:53] <ganesh> LurkersA:ykphuah:Flannel: can you help me with gnome login problem? problem is i can hear login sound but it return back to login window..i am in failsafe now
[07:53] <ykphuah> falstaff: well, I guess you can try installing it with wine.
[07:53] <unimatrix9> any one that has the eeebox pc? ( not the notebook but the desktop )
[07:53] <ykphuah> falstaff: I assume you have installed wine? just download the installer, and then run "wine <installer>.exe"
[07:54] <jussi01> there is a yahoo messenger for linux iirc
[07:54] <ykphuah> the yahoo messenger for linux is very outdated.
[07:54] <falstaff> ykphuah, thank you I figured it would be that simple.
[07:55] <unimatrix9> cant pidgin do yahoo messenger?
[07:55] <unimatrix9> !pidgin
[07:55] <ykphuah> ganesh: try logging in using the terminal, ctrl-alt-f7, then login from there.
[07:55] <unimatrix9> any one that has the eeebox pc? ( not the notebook but the desktop )
[07:56] <abngal> hi again everyone. Is there a way to disable password prompt for admin tasks?
[07:56] <unimatrix9> run as root? but thats not wise
[07:56] <oobe> ykphuah, wouldnt that be ctrl alt f1
[07:56] <ykphuah> oobe: lol, I don't remember, I thought its f7? :)
[07:57] <ganesh> ﻿ykphuah: ya even i can login through failsafe..what after that?
[07:57] <abngal> unimatrix: no other way?
[07:57] <oobe> f7 is x
[07:57] <unimatrix9> dont think so..
[07:57] <ykphuah> ganesh: the point of trying to login using a normal boot is to see whether you get any error message.
[07:58] <abngal> we just want to try ubuntu for now. we don't need any form of security
[07:58] <ganesh> ykphuah:ya i ll be back..
[07:58] <oobe> !compiz | hardcore
[07:58] <ykphuah> abngal: lookup "NOPASSWD" in sudoers man page.
[07:58] <ykphuah> abngal: or NOPASS
[07:59] <Ectomorph> ectomorph
[07:59] <unimatrix9> ah, linux you can alway's change things
[07:59] <unimatrix9> :)
[07:59] <LurkersA> ykphuah: (i mean, from flash content inside my firefox?) Yes
[07:59] <Ectomorph> help ! I'm getting user is not in the sudoers file :(
[07:59] <LurkersA> Rynol: Not sure about the bar sorry
[08:00] <favro> Ectomorph: what is the command you're running?
[08:00] <ykphuah> LurkersA: so once I do the reload thing, my flash-in-firefox will have no more sound? lol I will rather keep the sound in firefox than those in the system.
[08:00] <Ectomorph> i've installed svn but dont have write access to the dirs, i'm a newbie
[08:01] <Rynol> Ah, okay then.
[08:01] <LurkersA> ykphuah: No, the command resets the sound in Ubuntu as a whole, It fixes both.
[08:01] <ion-> can someone help me get KDX(http://www.haxial.com/products/kdx/index2.html) working? The linux x86 version is a .zip and contains a .lexe file that will not load
[08:03] <JW> Whoa, how do I find my LAN IP in Ubuntu?
[08:04] <unimatrix9> open gnome terminal and type ifconfig
[08:04] <unimatrix9> hit enter
[08:04] <dunas> When I attempt to log out, shut down, or restart using any of the standard methods in Ubuntu 8.04, the desktop environment locks up- I can still interact with the open window, but otherwise, nothing. I then have to shut down my computer by holding in the power button.
[08:04] <maxtor211> Where can I download a new set of my Human Icons
[08:04] <maxtor211> I messed them all up
[08:04] <maxtor211> Or how do I restore them
[08:04] <JW> I am wanting my ip to be specific, how do I do this?
[08:05] <maxtor211> PayPal if solved
[08:05] <unimatrix9> gnome-look.org
[08:05] <unimatrix9> or gnome art work , google
[08:05] <maxtor211> I can download the default Human icons again:?
[08:05] <JW> I get Paypal if I resolve your issue? O_0
[08:05] <favro> maxtor211: sudo apt-get --reinstall install human-theme
[08:05] <unimatrix9> right
[08:06] <LurkersA> JW: You want to set up a static IP?
[08:06] <JW> Yes
[08:06] <JW> a static LAN ip
[08:06] <ion-> Is there a better program to run .lexe files than autorun?
[08:06] <maxtor211> invalid operation
[08:06] <maxtor211> human-theme
[08:07] <koshar1> maxtor211 you can prollt remove and replace them in synaptic
[08:07] <LurkersA> JW, go System | Administration | Network
[08:07] <LurkersA> JW:, Unlock it by clicking the 'Unlock' button and type your password
[08:07] <JW> when I manually configure my wired connection and set it to static ip address I lose my connection though, I'm pretty sure I am using the right subnet's and LAN ips
[08:07] <DIFH-iceroot> if i make (later) an upgrade from 8.04.1 to 8.10 have i still LTS? or is this just for 8.04?
[08:07] <LurkersA> JW, is your router configured to allow static IP?
[08:08] <nateeee> LOL, what luck. here i am fresh as can be to the OS and not able to connect to the net and people are already talking about it
[08:08] <nateeee> :P
[08:08] <karayan> DIFH-iceroot, LTS is only for 8.04
[08:08] <DIFH-iceroot> karayan: thx

[08:08] <MrSoundless> hey all could someone help me to set permissions on my main harddrive? it's an ntfs filesystem and I don't have permissions at all
[08:08] <JW> ﻿LurkersA, I'm thinking it should be, in Windows XP all I have to do is edit the TCP/IP setings and enter my desired static LAN IP
[08:09] <LurkersA> nateeee: Whats the problem with your internet? Any idea why you can't connect?
[08:09] <nateeee> i assume that it should be as simple as throwing all my network info into the network setup and it should work... i assume
[08:09] <nateeee> haven't done a single thing beyond install
[08:09] <LurkersA> JW: Ok, have you specified a DNS address?
[08:09] <JW> ﻿LurkersA Yes
[08:09] <abngal> I'm getting frustrated and depressed learning ubuntu - though I won't stop. There are many settings that are hard to change. Even going through user authentication controls to disable prompt for admin password leaves me clueless. I can't even view my hardware devices and the drivers they are using. :( I guess I really have lot to learn
[08:09] <LurkersA> nateeee: Dialup, or DSL/Broadband?
[08:09] <DIFH-iceroot> i have a FAKE-Raid1 System, the ubuntu installer only detects sda and sdb, not my fakeraid-arrays, what can i do to install ubuntu on a fake-raid-1 system?
[08:10] <LurkersA> JW: Other than 10.1.1.1? IE, your ISP supplied Addresses?
[08:10] <nateeee> LA: broadband
[08:11] <JW> ﻿LurkersA, My gateway's address isnt that
[08:11] <JW> ﻿LurkersA, the router's ip is set in the "DNS tab in Network settings
[08:11] <LurkersA> nateeee: When you get to your desktop, goto System | Administration | Network. Select Wired Network, and click properties
[08:12] <nateeee> LA: and set everything up manually? ip, dns, what not?
[08:12] <ace_suares> hi there
[08:12] <ace_suares> !kiosk
[08:12] <LurkersA> JW: That is your Gateway, not your DNS. That might be the problem.
[08:12] <LurkersA> nateeee: Yes.
[08:12] <nateeee> LA: or should i be able to set just the dns and let the ip go automatic?
[08:12] <JW> ﻿LurkersA, wheres my DNS then? :O
[08:12] <ace_suares> anyone knwo about a good kiosk software for ubuntu, that also limits the time they can be logged in ?
[08:13] <DIFH-iceroot> ace_suares: what is a kiosk software?
[08:14] <LurkersA> JW, try using the openDNS addresses that are: 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220 in the DNS tab, and under Connections, Wired connection, enter the routers IP under 'Gateway'
[08:14] <LurkersA> nateeee: Adding your DNS should be fine for now
[08:14] <Prophetu> LurkersA : can i ask you something ?
[08:14] <LurkersA> Prophetu: Go for it
[08:15] <ace_suares> DIFH-iceroot: it's like when you wnat an internet cafe and want people to be able to do only certain things
[08:15] <Prophetu> LurkersA : can you help me pls with a problem ? here is the error i get : http://paste.ubuntu.com/47089/
[08:15] <nateeee> OK, thank you. and i shall give that a shot. I figured that's all it was but wanted to ask before grabbing the OpenDNS addy's and texting them to myself lol :P
[08:16] <nateeee> as i am using a dual boot setup
[08:16] <nateeee> any ways, off i go
[08:16] <LurkersA> nateeee: Good luck
[08:16] <ikt> should I run anti-virus on my apple mac?

[08:23] <Ob1Kn00b> what have i got to do to get <code> $echo "blah blah" >> /etc/environment </code>   to work? sudo doesn't do it, so how do I set permissions in this case?
[08:24] <davetarmac> anyone here know a good web development environment for 8.04 using GNOME? I've tried Aptana/Eclipse and other derivitives but  keep getting Java errors (at least, they look like Java errors). Ideally I'd like one that plays nicely in GNOME and supports PHP
[08:24] <DIFH-iceroot> Ob1Kn00b: sudo or chmod
[08:25] <favro> Prophetu: next i would try   sudo apt-get --reinstall install hal   maybe...

[09:02] <bakarat> jim_p, a friend of mine at work with an entirely different laptop is experiencing the same thing
[09:02] <jim_p> Dabbu: at getdeb.net perhaps
[09:02] <bakarat> jim_p, any idea how to debug?
[09:02] <bakarat> jim_p, cause it's driving me crazy
[09:02] <bonespur> hi..im running hardy...nautilus is not working on my system...none of the drives are opening
[09:03] <bonespur> and sometimes i am faced with a blank desktop
[09:03] <nnull> jim_p,  one more question, what if i type "ssh -p22 server.name" instead of "ssh -p22 user@server.name" what happens?
[09:04] <arunvkumar> ,
[09:04] <saschahl> nnull: your current user will be used as remote username
[09:04] <jim_p> nnull: you will be prompted for username and pass upon connection to the server
[09:04] <nnull> saschahl, oh and if that username is not on the server system?
[09:05] <saschahl> nnull: login will fail, telling username or password are wrong
[09:05] <nnull> ahh i see
[09:05] <jim_p> nnull: you wont login
[09:05] <saschahl> nnull: and there will probably a login attempt be logged in the remote system
[09:06] <Aayush_> how  can we check if XO is running in battry or ac in shell script
[09:07] <nnull> saschahl, jim_p : once i have generated keys on the server, does all the client need to do is connect to a known username and login? or do i need to copy the rsa things across or?
[09:07] <jim_p> nnull: i dont know
[09:08] <nnull> ahh you've only connected, never setup a server? kk
[09:08] <saschahl> nnull: you need to copy the public key to the server (the private key on the client)
[09:08] <ogzy> is there any way to run the module-assistant with yes option, when m-a prepare it waits y press to install headers and realted files
[09:08] <saschahl> nnull: then you only need to know the username and the keys will take care of the authentication
[09:09] <nnull> saschahl, i generated the keys on the server, so they are already there, cant i just generate the same key on the client using the passphrase? or?
[09:10] <saschahl> nnull: you generate the keys on the client. and per client. and copy the public key to the server
[09:10] <bonespur> hi..is there a better alternative to nautilus for ubuntu? Im facing too many problems with it...
[09:10] <nnull> ahh thats confusing lol
[09:11] <nnull> so i dont need to generate any keys on the server
[09:11] <nnull> just on client then copy them over...
[09:11] <saschahl> nnull: the client is the one that needs to authenticate. so it creates an identity (the keys). by allowing certain public keys on the server, you control who can log in.
[09:11] <saschahl> the server won't see any private key
[09:12] <saschahl> that way, if the server gets compromised, your keys are still safe
[09:12] <nnull> ahh i see
[09:13] <nnull> saschahl, where are the keys stored? asin where can i add and delete keys
[09:13] <Cavalry> Since a few days ago I have not been able to use my numpad on my keyboard (even with numlock on/off) Any ideas?
[09:14] <sfer3> Hi
[09:14] <saschahl> nnull: keys are stored in .ssh/ Copy the _pub key to the server and add it to the .ssh/authorized_keys file of the user
[09:14] <sfer3> The alsa-project.org website seems to be down? Can anyone help me with this one?
[09:14] <erpo> I need a program to keep track of the tasks I need to accomplish. For each task, I want to be able to keep a log of what has been accomplished and I want to be able to set reminders so that my computer will remind me when I need to take action in response to upcoming events relevant to that task. Suggestions?
[09:14] <sfer3> crm?
[09:15] <sfer3> Wait, nvm
[09:15] <sfer3> Read it wrong ;)
[09:16] <nnull> saschahl, ok sweet last question question i hope, ive generated keys on the server and it said WARNING added something to hosts file or something, do i need to delete my Known_Hosts file or>
[09:16] <sinan> Can anyone recommend an Emacs with gtk ?
[09:16] <nnull> when i say ive generated keys on the server, i did this before by mistake.
[09:16] <aldaek> cant get teamspeak to capture from right device.
[09:17] <aldaek> what is the device for mic plugged into alsa?
[09:17] <babo> i just received 20 or so spam messages to my inbox in gmail. that's a bit strange no ? Did that happen to anyone else ?
[09:18] <aldaek> nope, unless it went direct to spam folder.
[09:18] <nnull> :F
[09:18] <saschahl> nnull: no, the known_hosts file has nothing to do with the keys. you don't need to change that
[09:19] <jigp> hello how to install skype in ubuntu 8 desktop?
[09:19] <sfer3> Isn't it in synaptic?
[09:19] <jim_p> jigp: you need to dl it from its site as a .deb file
[09:19] <nnull> saschahl, ok im just worried because im quite sure the system added it self to a list of connectable clients :s
[09:19] <sfer3> Wait, not in synaptic, I was just imagining that ;)
[09:19] <babo> how do 20 spam messages beat the gmail filter all of a sudden ?

[09:25] <sfer3> Hi again everyone
[09:25] <sfer3> I'm having some issues with alsa - have tried some things but so far they haven't worked.
[09:25] <st3ph> what prob u got with alsa? sfer3 ?
[09:26] <sfer3> sound was working fine, then it just went. When I type alsamixer from terminal, it displays this message: alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or directory
[09:26] <sfer3> I've done some searching, but so far nothing I've found has worked.
[09:26] <st3ph> u used usb headset sfer3 ?
[09:26] <sfer3> Nope.
[09:28] <sfer3> I've tried a few things, but they haven't worked.
[09:28] <st3ph> wait i try to find some cmds
[09:28] <sfer3> I updated some things and then when it started it just wouldn't work anymore - when I click on the speaker icon in the panel it just pops up with "No volume control GStreamer plugins and/or devices found"
[09:28] <sfer3> Thanks
[09:29] <martin_> what's this?

[09:35] <ivorBoaz> Hi, I want to install Ubuntu over my fedora core OS.  Any way to do this without losing my data, i.e., installing over the top of FC without having to re-format the disk?
[09:35] <MrMist> hey all :)
[09:36] <jigp> hello how to install yahoo messenger with voice / chat conference ?
[09:36] <marlun> Can I copy a file to multiple locations? like cp file loc1 loc2 loc3? This doesn't work.
[09:36] <MrMist> I've got a few entries in fstab, and a few partitions on my disk, and they all show up on my desktop. I don't want them to. How do I disable this ?
[09:37] <MrMist> jigp: Tried pidgin?
[09:37] <fatjedi> can anyone help me with ventrilo?
[09:37] <jigp> MrMist : there is no voice conference.but there is chat conference
[09:37] <Ziroday> MrMist: pidgin does not and will never do voice or video
[09:37] <sfer3> Back
[09:37] <jigp> MrMist : pidgin cannot mass msg also :(
[09:38] <MrMist> Ziroday: How about plugins ?
[09:38] <LurkersA> kopete?
[09:38] <Ziroday> jigp: there is the official yahoo messenger software for linux, and I think that supports video and chat
[09:38] <error404notfound> host command doesn't give the hostname of a local ip system...
[09:38] <ivorBoaz> marlun: no, cp does not do multiple copies.  you would need to do this in a script.
[09:38] <Ziroday> jigp: however it will be difficult to install http://messenger.yahoo.com/download/
[09:39] <MrMist> error404notfound: nslookup IP
[09:39] <Ziroday> jigp: wait thats the wrong link

[10:23] <LurkersA> !ask | jackyz3
[10:23] <jackyz3> im looking for a gui interface for spamassain
[10:23] <jackyz3> oops i mean spam assasin
[10:24] <LurkersA> jackyz3: That is only a terminal interface isn't it?
[10:25] <LurkersA> jackyz3: or try 'sudo apt-get install spamc', that looks promising
[10:25] <jackyz3> lurkersA: Im looking for a web or gui interface
[10:28] <MessWithTheBest-> how can i do a WHOIS in ubuntu?
[10:28] <jackyz3> thanks lurkersa
[10:28] <|ns|nR8> please explain MessWithTheBest-
[10:29] <LurkersA> MessWithTheBest-: type 'man whois', it will give you a good grounding in how to use it
[10:29] <MessWithTheBest-> |ns|nR8: i.e to look for info about an IP
[10:29] <MessWithTheBest-> LurkersA: thnx
[10:30] <LurkersA> MessWithTheBest-:  the general form is 'whois xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx'
[10:30] <|ns|nR8> cool
[10:30] <ActionParsnip> yo yo yo
[10:37] <LurkersA> It's quiet.....
[10:38] <diobrando> too quiet...
[10:38] <hischild> How would i take a screenshot of an open menu? Print screen doesn't work when the menu is open.
[10:38] <lunat1que> freaky quiet
[10:38] <zorglu_> q. i would like to get vlc 0.9.2 on 8.04. vlc teams doesnt support 8.04 only 8.10. is there a chance to get it backported to 8.04 ?
[10:38] <lunat1que> i tought my internet was broke
[10:38] <lunat1que> :P
[10:38] <tolecnal> lunat1que: people are trying to sleep
[10:38] <LurkersA> hischild: Applications | Take Screenshot
[10:39] <hischild> lunat1que, silence has been broken :p
[10:39] <LurkersA> I was starting to enjoy it too :D
[10:39] <hischild> LurkersA, and how would i use that to take a screenshot of an open menu? as soon as i click in there the menu vanishes.
[10:39] <diobrando> hischild: scrot -c 5
[10:39] <koshar1> is the new vlt done with quicktime?
[10:39] <diobrando> will give you 5 seconds
[10:40] <hischild> diobrando, thank you
[10:40] <LurkersA> hischild: the little window that opens up, turn up the delay value, click 'take screenshot', then open your menu and wait
[10:40] <hischild> LurkersA, ah ok.
[10:43] <MessWithTheBest-> i have problems with video codecs i think. When i play a video in Totem it looks red with blue!!!! I can't see the original colors
[10:44] <LurkersA> MessWithTheBest-: Try using vlc, and see if that fixes it
[10:44] <ActionParsnip> !codecs | MessWithTheBest-
[10:45] <MessWithTheBest-> LurkersA: yeah it fixes it. But if i run totem first, i get the same result with VLC. I have to reboot again so VLC can play the video correctly.
[10:45] <sixforty> Approximate UTC time, pls?
[10:45] <LurkersA> MessWithTheBest-: I'm not sure why that happens, but  have heard that complaint before
[10:47] <MessWithTheBest-> that's awful, cuz I have to reboot always. Sometimes i accidentally run Totem cuz it's default movie player. THAT'S REALLY AWFUL
[10:47] <MessWithTheBest-> plz i want a solution for this problem. it drives me crazy
[10:47] <ActionParsnip> MessWithTheBest-: then change your default player
[10:47] <LurkersA> MessWithTheBest-: Change the default player under System | Preferences | Prefered Applications
[10:48] <ActionParsnip> MessWithTheBest-: does it perform the same with mplayer?
[10:48] <MessWithTheBest-> ActionParsnip: it's ok with Mplayer
[10:49] <MessWithTheBest-> only when i run Totem for the first time, it damages the codecs
[10:49] <ActionParsnip> MessWithTheBest-: is there a hidden folder in ~? relating to totem?
[10:49] <ActionParsnip> ~/
[10:49] <ActionParsnip> not ~?
[10:50] <MessWithTheBest-> ActionParsnip: no
[10:51] <ActionParsnip> MessWithTheBest-: so there's no ~/.totem folder
[10:51] <MessWithTheBest-> ActionParsnip: i found folders for: vlc. mplayer and gstreamer
[10:51] <MessWithTheBest-> no
[10:51] <ActionParsnip> or similar
[10:51] <MessWithTheBest-> no i looked all of the folders.
[10:52] <MessWithTheBest-> nothing looks relate to Totem
[10:52] <IamSOG> um...
[10:53] <MessWithTheBest-> ActionParsnip: i didn't find any folder relates to Totem
[10:53] <ActionParsnip> MessWithTheBest-: cd ~/; find -name totem
[10:54] <MessWithTheBest-> i found: ./.config/totem
[10:54] <MessWithTheBest-> and ./.gconf/apps/totem
[10:55] <Brucevdk> Hey. A fresh installation of 8.04 here. When I drag top-down on the right side of my touchpad it scrolls horizontally (left to right) not top-down. Anybody familiar with this problem and how to fix it? Here's the section from the xorg.conf: http://pastebin.com/d509c7652
[10:55] <mabc> hiya
[10:55] <mabc> i need some help
[10:55] <MessWithTheBest-> ActionParsnip: what's next?
[10:56] <mabc> is anyone there ?
[10:56] <LurkersA> !ask | mabc
[10:57] <ActionParsnip> MessWithTheBest-: did anything display?
[10:57] <Brucevdk> I'm going to load a new xorg.conf, might not be back.
[10:57] <mabc> hello
[10:57] <mabc> why wont my nick change ?
[10:58] <adamk>  It did change.  From mabc to mabc99 and then back to mabc.
[10:58] <MessWithTheBest-> ActionParsnip: yeah i told you. ﻿if found: ~/.config/totem  AND ﻿~/.gconf/apps/totem
[10:58] <adamk> And this channel is for Ubuntu support, please keep the conversation on topic.
[10:58] <zetheroo> I am very unhappy with how ubuntu eats up my battery life
[10:58] <ActionParsnip> MessWithTheBest-: id rename both those folders then rerun totem, if its the same, rename back
[10:59] <zetheroo> Windows has this down.. but Ltinux is not there ye
[10:59] <sfer3> Sure the battery is good?
[10:59] <xnv> zetheroo: Ubuntu != Linux
[10:59] <sfer3> Sure all power saving options are enabled?
[10:59] <MessWithTheBest-> ActionParsnip: what do you mean by "id rename"?
[11:00] <zetheroo> ﻿xnv: yes .. and/
[11:00] <test> boooob
[11:00] <zetheroo> ?
[11:00] <giggsey> I'm trying to boot the ubuntu livecd, and it said that the sd module is something, and now it's i/o erroring when trying to access my sata drive
[11:00] <ActionParsnip> MessWithTheBest-: rename both those folders
[11:00] <ActionParsnip> id == i'd
[11:00] <xnv> zetheroo: So you're wrong to make such conclusions based on the information you've offered.
[11:01] <zetheroo> ﻿xnv: what was I wrong about?
[11:01] <MessWithTheBest-> ActionParsnip: oky. Should i rename the "Totem" folders or the outer folders??
[11:01] <xnv> zetheroo: First of all, your approach. If you want help making your battery last longer, ask. This isn't a complaint channel.
[11:01] <zetheroo> ﻿xnv: I just said that Windows has power management down much better than Linux
[11:02] <zetheroo> ﻿xnv: I did ask before .. you don't have to be so sensitive
[11:02] <zetheroo> ;-)
[11:02] <ActionParsnip> MessWithTheBest-: just the totem folders, just the ones it found
[11:02] <xnv> zetheroo: Ubuntu != Linux. A bad experience with Ubuntu does not mean the Linux kernel is worse than Windows at power management.
[11:04] <Chousuke> it's not just the kernel that affects battery life.
[11:04] <ActionParsnip> MessWithTheBest-: once renamed, run totem
[11:04] <Chousuke> many applications may have an adverse effect.
[11:04] <giggsey> I'm getting "Driver sd needs updating please use bus_type methods" when trying to boot the livecd, and then it's going into busybox. How can I get the livecd booted?
[11:04] <MessWithTheBest-> ActionParsnip: It WORKS!
[11:04] <ActionParsnip> MessWithTheBest-: renamingthose folders will strip your config back to factoy defaults
[11:05] <ActionParsnip> MessWithTheBest-: those folders hold the configs for apps on a per user basis
[11:05] <zetheroo> ﻿xnv: well I hear a lot of different stuff from a lot of people all professing to be mouthpieces for Linux
[11:05] <ActionParsnip> MessWithTheBest-: renaming them to different to expected makes the system give you stock settings
[11:05] <ActionParsnip> MessWithTheBest-: you must have played too much and set it wrong
[11:05] <Chousuke> zetheroo: besides, windows level power management is not something Linux should strive for
[11:05] <ActionParsnip> MessWithTheBest-: you can do it with almost any app
[11:05] <MessWithTheBest-> ActionParsnip: yeah maybe!
[11:05] <Chousuke> zetheroo: if there's something to emulate, it's OS X.
[11:06] <MessWithTheBest-> ActionParsnip: cool trick
[11:06] <MessWithTheBest-> ActionParsnip: thnx man
[11:06] <ActionParsnip> MessWithTheBest-: now it works, you can delete the folders you renamed (new names as their will be new folders of the original name)
[11:06] <zetheroo> ﻿Chousuke: I just know that Windows Vista gives almost double the battery life that Ubuntu gives
[11:06] <ActionParsnip> MessWithTheBest-: np man
[11:06] <daniele> hi all
[11:06] <Chousuke> zetheroo: then something is wrong with your configuration
[11:07] <Chousuke> zetheroo: power management on Linux is very configurable; something is wrong with your system if the difference is that huge.
[11:07] <zetheroo> ﻿Chousuke: thats what I have been told... and then I had people helping me configure it .. but its still not happening
[11:07] <ActionParsnip> MessWithTheBest-: remember, always rename so you can roll back
[11:07] <xnv> zetheroo: This is a support channel. If you want help improving battery life, ask. Otherwise...
[11:07] <xnv> !offtopic
[11:07] <daniele> i've aproblem... I've upgraded fron feisty to hardy and i've lost the trash-bin from the desktop...
[11:07] <diobrando> Yeah, my laptop is about equal for battery life with xp vs debian etch
[11:07] <MessWithTheBest-> ActionParsnip: ok :)
[11:08] <Chousuke> zetheroo: might just be that you have badly supported hardware
[11:08] <daniele> it also doesn't open me the computer folder anymore
[11:08] <zetheroo> ﻿xnv: shhhh... its ok.. I am talking with someone else now .... ;-)
[11:08]  * shandoo off
[11:08] <zetheroo> ﻿Chousuke: how do i know?
[11:08] <xnv> zetheroo: In the wrong channel.
[11:09] <Chousuke> zetheroo: well, you'll need to check hardware compatibility lists I suppose.
[11:09] <zetheroo> ﻿xnv: are you in a position of authority here? ... I am not leaving because your feeling hurt ...
[11:09] <Chousuke> if you have an nvidia or ati graphics card it's likely not very good for power consumption, for example.
[11:09] <zetheroo> ﻿Chousuke: hmmm.. any idea where those would be?
[11:10] <Chousuke> !hcl
[11:10] <zetheroo> ﻿Chousuke: I have an ATI card
[11:10] <daniele> how can i do to reset the gnome configurations... I also tryed to move .gnome  .gnome2 and .nautilus but it didn't change at all
[11:10] <xnv> zetheroo: I'm not asking you to leave. I just don't want to be trolled with your opinions about Windows vs. Linux. Explaining your experience so that Chousuke and others can help you is just fine.
[11:10] <zetheroo> ﻿Chousuke: still though ... Windows gives me 2 hours of battery life and Ubuntu gives about 45-55 min!!!
[11:10] <Chousuke> zetheroo: that might just be teh problem
[11:11] <Chousuke> heh, from ~nothing to ~nothing :)
[11:11] <zetheroo> ﻿xnv: there are things that Windows has better than Linux and vica-versa ... its just natural ... you can't have it all ... ha
[11:11] <ActionParsnip> daniele: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=55302
[11:12] <Widgit> ﻿Hi All - I got a problem - I cant mount my raid 5 drive. dmesg | tail errors in itEXT2-fs error (device sda1): ext2_check_descriptors: Block bitmap for group 912 not in group (block 231211008). sda is a drive in the raid it comes up 3 time and also has this ... EXT2-fs: group descriptors corrupted!
[11:12] <Chousuke> zetheroo: I can't say for sure, but I would put the blame on the ati drivers
[11:12] <MessWithTheBest-> ActionParsnip: I think i have a problem with my graphics card driver. I have nvidia GT8500 512 VRAM. When i run Avant Window Navigator and enable the Normal Visual effects, the windows become like heavy. I'm not sure if the problem is from the driver. When i choose None Visual Effects, everything becomes ok.
[11:12] <ActionParsnip> daniele: http://linuxfud.wordpress.com/2007/02/14/how-to-reset-ubuntugnome-settings-to-defaults-without-re-installing/ but dont rm
[11:12] <xnv> zetheroo: Again, this is not the place for debating Linux vs. Windows. Please stop.
[11:12] <zetheroo> ﻿xnv: but I have been using Ubuntu for 3 years and am happy with it ....mostly
[11:12] <Chousuke> zetheroo: I'm doubtful whether they're optimised for power consumption
[11:12] <ActionParsnip> MessWithTheBest-: maybe you need a different driver. I dont use ghastly effects so ive no idea
[11:12] <diobrando> daniele: .gnome .gnome2 .gconf .gconfd .metacity
[11:13] <adamk> MessWithTheBest-, "become like heavy" ?
[11:13] <Chousuke> zetheroo: but I can't say much more :/
[11:13] <Chousuke> have to go now anyway
[11:13] <LurkersA> zetheroo: http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm read
[11:13] <zetheroo> ﻿Chousuke: so .. if I reverted to the VESA drivers would I get better bat life?
[11:15] <MessWithTheBest-> adamk: when i minimize then i maximize a window, it returns slowly. I don't know how to describe that actually!!
[11:15] <ActionParsnip> MessWithTheBest-: set the animation speed higher
[11:15] <ActionParsnip> well...faster
[11:15] <MessWithTheBest-> ActionParsnip: how to do that?
[11:16] <adamk> MessWithTheBest-, That's often a problem with certain drivers.  There have been a number of complaints about nvidia driver performance for geforce 8/9 series cards.
[11:16] <adamk> MessWithTheBest-, You may want to check out this thread: http://nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=115916
[11:16] <ActionParsnip> MessWithTheBest-: its in the settings. i dont use it so you'll have to sniff around
[11:18] <MessWithTheBest-> i use nvidia-glx-new driver
[11:18] <ActionParsnip> MessWithTheBest-: have you tried the proper nvidia one from www.nvidia.com
[11:19] <ActionParsnip> or the envyng-gtk one?
[11:19] <abngal> hi guys. i had perviously used wobbly effect of compiz after installation. however, after some time, the some effects disappeared like the wobbly effect. Other effects are working fine. I cannot however enable additional plugin in compiz. any one has an idea

[11:22] <nevoeiro> hello. just connected an epson stylus d92 via usb. ubuntu detects it but when i try to print something, the page comes out blank... already checked ink levels and it's ok. can someone help?
[11:22] <giggsey> I'm trying to use wicd to connect to my wifi (it detects the drivers using ndiswrapper, and detects wireless networks, but it won't connect. At the end of dmesg, it says ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlan0: link is not ready. How can I make it ready?
[11:23] <ActionParsnip> nevoeiro: it needs installing as a d68
[11:24] <Nata-Oh> who can explain www.getdeb.net?
[11:24] <nevoeiro> ok. let me check...
[11:24] <Renegade_> Me got a qestion. I connect&configure my Epson C43SX and it works propertly, but i can't find where i can see how mutch paint left in printer... Try to search in google, but don't find enything.
[11:25] <ehtom> Nata-Oh: it just looks like a custom repository
[11:25] <ActionParsnip> Nata-Oh: its a place to download .debs
[11:25] <nevoeiro> actionparsnip: it worked!!

[11:26] <nevoeiro> *click*
[11:26] <MessWithTheBest-> what's the meaning of "laggy"?? I'm reading a thread about nvidia drivers and it mentions a problem says: Compiz Fusion very choppy, laggy minimize/maximize.
[11:26] <diobrando> slow/delayed
[11:26] <nooga> i've got a computer, outside the office, that runs ubuntu and it connects to the internet using ppp and gsm modem. The problem is a pptp tunnel that i've set up to connect that computer to  our office VPN. When the tunnel goes down it also "damages" ppp internet connection. It looks as if ip-down for the tunnel cleans resolv.conf
[11:26] <ActionParsnip> MessWithTheBest-: lag is a network term meaning slow performance, it can also be used when other stuff is slow
[11:26] <nooga> is there a way to avoid damaging the internet connection when the tunnel goes down?
[11:27] <MessWithTheBest-> ActionParsnip: yeah, that what's happening with me
[11:28] <ActionParsnip> MessWithTheBest-: try using the envy driver, you will have to revert to "nv" driver if you do a kernel update and you will need to rerun envy once the new kernel has booted
[11:28] <ActionParsnip> MessWithTheBest-: and each time after that
[11:28] <ActionParsnip> !envyng | MessWithTheBest-

[11:34] <Ziroday> ddoom: qemu
[11:35] <ehtom> kvm
[11:35] <ehtom> xen
[11:35] <ehtom> depends what you're trying to do

[11:35] <ehtom> vmware esx
[11:35] <Ziroday> !enter > ehtom
[11:36] <ehtom> bleh... that sort of attitude is why the quality of help here is so low at times
[11:37] <A_Fowl> I'm trying to install a usb modem [one of those anywhere internet connection ones for laptops] on a hardy heron. I've configured the wvdial.conf file but I still can't seem to surf the net. what do i do?
[11:37] <ehtom> ddoom: what are you trying to do with virtualization?
[11:37] <ActionParsnip> A_Fowl: does the modem spring to life when you dial?
[11:39] <ddoom> install a program that will let me stream video/music/pics to xbox 360. but the the 64bit version is a bit iffy.
[11:40] <ehtom> ddoom: a linux program?
[11:40] <ddoom> yes
[11:40] <ehtom> you should be able to run 32 bit binaries on a 64 bit host
[11:41] <ddoom> I know I've tried running it, with little success
[11:43] <ikonia> ddoom: what are you trying to run, and how ?
[11:43] <fakoff> Hi everybody. I've been trying to download my hotmail throw evolution (already configured xinetd) but I get a prompt that says "hotmail requires pay to webDAV access"
[11:43] <ddoom> ikonia: twonky media server in a 32bit vm guest os
[11:44] <ikonia> fakoff: thats correct
[11:44] <ikonia> ddoom: and what's the issue ?
[11:44] <fakoff> anyone uses a mail client to access a hotmail account?
[11:44] <ddoom> ikonia: I don't know you tell me
[11:44] <ikonia> fakoff: you need to pay for that functionality
[11:44] <fakoff> sure? shit!
[11:44] <ikonia> ddoom: if your running a 32bit guest, it's just a 32bit OS, so any 32bit application should work
[11:44] <ikonia> fakoff: drop that language please
[11:44] <ehtom> ddoom: for something like that you should probably try kvm or vmware server
[11:45] <rage__> Anyone had any success getting 5.1 digital out on an AD1988B sound card?
[11:45] <fakoff> sorry
[11:45] <ehtom> ddoom: something like xen would be better but its a fantastic pain to set up correctly
[11:45] <malcolm_> hello
[11:45] <ddoom> ikonia: yep
[11:45] <ikonia> ddoom: does this application require direct hardware access ?
[11:46] <ddoom> ehtom: I've never heard of xen or kvm
[11:46] <ehtom> ddoom: vmware server?
[11:47] <ddoom> ikonia: not sure
[11:47] <ikonia> ddoom: is there a reason you want to run this in a vm ?
[11:48] <ickmund> Having some troubles setting up a FakeRaid of 2x1TB under 8.0.4. First run works fine, ie running dmraid and partition the raid. I then reboot, install dmraid again and something goes bad with dmraid. Can't figure out what the problem is.
[11:48] <ickmund> http://paste.linuxassist.net/10904 << anyone see something that makes sense to them? :P
[11:48] <ikonia> ickmund: fakeraid is a terrible technology
[11:48] <ikonia> ickmund: it's support is quite poor
[11:49] <physically_fit> fakoff
[11:50] <zetheroo> is there a good app for playing online radio channels ... I thought I recalled there being one that worked like a media centre with radio channels in it ...
[11:50] <ickmund> ikonia: I realise that, but besides getting me some new hardware I don't seem to have much of an option as the drives seem too big for my bios. The nvidia raid-utility recognizes them for what they are thou.
[11:50] <ddoom> ikonia: i'm running ubuntu server 8.04 amd64, the 32bit program doesn't work properly on it
[11:51] <physically_fit> fakoff,  http://ubuntuswitch.blogspot.com/2007/09/ubuntu-how-to-get-yahoohotmail-emails.html http://webmail.mozdev.org/installation.html
[11:51] <ikonia> ickmund: have you considered linux software raid
[11:51] <ushimitsudoki> zetheroo: I use Rythmbox or Exaile to listen to online radio streams. Is that what you are after?
[11:51] <ikonia> ddoom: what actual program is it ?
[11:51] <fakoff> ikonia: thank you
[11:51] <ddoom> ikonia: http://www.twonkyvision.de/
[11:51] <zetheroo> ﻿ushimitsudoki: yeah something liek that ... except that exaile does not have any channels and one must add them manually ... I thought there was one which had a bunch built in
[11:52] <fakoff> physically_fit: thank you very much, I'm going to read it
[11:52] <ikonia> ddoom: you could run that within a 32bit chroot environment ?
[11:52] <physically_fit> fakoff, it works
[11:52] <ickmund> ikonia: I did at first, but thought that I needed the disks to be recognized in bios for it. If I do use the nvidia raid-array and try to install on sda/sdb grub gives me errors
[11:53] <ikonia> ickmund: software raid should work fine
[11:53] <ikonia> ickmund: what matters is that the OS see them correctly
[11:53] <ickmund> ikonia: I will give it a shot then, thanks
[11:53] <ikonia> ickmund: the bios only matters for terrible technologies like fakeraid
[11:55] <negge> Something is making my computer slow. Htop says the CPU is at 100% all the time, but if I sort the processes to see which one uses the most CPU power there is nothing that uses that much. Max is about 2-3%. How do I know which process eats up all the resources?
[11:56] <negge> I'm gonna reboot now 'cause it seems impossible to get it away...

[12:03] <PryMaL> identify N0tyoarz101
[12:04] <idefix> !top
[12:05] <fakoff> physically_fit, It says the same that Evolution. I'd read about that the webDAV access to hotmail was disabled on new accounts, but mine it's since 2004. Do you actually use it?
[12:10] <physically_fit> yes fakoff, i use it. i configured thunderbird a couple of days ago to retrieve emails from hotmail.
[12:10] <fakoff> physically_fit, wow, how old is your account?

[12:13] <pearlypuff> thank you
[12:13] <frop> hello
[12:13] <frop> got a question...
[12:13] <pearlypuff> sorry very new...
[12:13] <frop> ...installing latest ubuntu...and i got a selection for kernel...
[12:14] <frop> ...there's a place to know the difference between those kernels?
[12:14] <TheInfinity> hello ... does anybody know a windows + linux app where i can select which OS boots when i restart?
[12:15] <caveymason> i cant get desktop effects working? i think i need to install i restricted driver but there is not an option for me to do so?
[12:15] <fakoff> physically_fit, ok thanks a lot. I've seen on the add-on setting that it access new accounts too (I guess via DeltaSync) so I'm going to check every option
[12:15] <bakarat> TheInfinity, hmm not sure what you mean, but you have a dual boot system and you want to select which OS boots by default?
[12:16] <TheInfinity> bakarat: no i want to have a dialogue "reboot to linux" and "reboot to windows"
[12:16] <bakarat> TheInfinity, o
[12:16] <opt1k> hi all
[12:16] <giggsey> How can I get wicd to appear in the notification area?
[12:17] <TheInfinity> i have remote dual boot pcs and its stupid work to edit all menu.list all the time, especially with windows
[12:18] <onx> TheInfinity, suse can do that. maybe have a look at their docs for grub?
[12:18] <rm> TheInfinity, try "man grub-reboot", for the Ubuntu part of equation (if you use grub)
[12:18] <caveymason> i installed ubuntu on a usb hd and it has messed up my original xp instal on ma internal hd and i am unable to boot into it? any way of fixing it?
[12:19] <TheInfinity> rm: the linux part is no prob at all, thats made with a simple bashscript
[12:19] <TheInfinity> my main prob is windows ...
[12:20] <rm> there are windows drivers to read-write ext2/3
[12:20] <rm> you can make a bat file which will copy proper menu.lst into its place
[12:21] <onx> or you could format /boot in fat32 ;O
[12:21] <TheInfinity> rm: yea, this means logging in as admin, mounting ext2, editing menu.lst, unmounting ext2, reboot
[12:21] <TheInfinity> means takes via vnc some time just to reboot
[12:21] <rm> well, the admin part is unskippable, or do you see a regular user change the boot method
[12:22] <TheInfinity> rm: thats why i ask for eg an alternative bootloader or something like that to have just a single click
[12:22] <rm> and the "editing" bit can be avoided by having two copies of menu.lst with "windows-default" and "ubuntu-default", and simple bat files
[12:23] <onx> anyone familiar with setting up multitouch on elantech pads (yes it's an eee)?
[12:24] <tonsofpcs> nope
[12:27] <onx> ubuntu seems to handle /some/ by itself (without using the synaptics driver), but i can't figure out where that's configured
[12:27] <rage__> Anyone had any success getting 5.1 digital out on an AD1988B sound card?
[12:27] <onx> *some multitouch
[12:32] <darren__> hi could some one pleae help its driving me nots i got a wirless usb for linux and it has the driver on a cd with instructions, but i dont really understand them is there some one that could please guide me
[12:34] <dns53> wireless is a hard thing, broadcomm is actively hostile to linux
[12:35] <carandraug> darren__: if it has instructions for linux like you say, you can tell us the steps you have problems with and we'll help
[12:36] <darren__> carandraug, sorry all of them can i chat in the wisper
[12:37] <carandraug> darren__: but have you tried check if it works without doing anything? Or you just assumed that you should follow the instructions?
[12:37] <davetarmac> Can anyone recommend a good FTP client for 8.04? Filezilla is at my last nerve as it keeps disconnecting from the server

[12:38] <carandraug> darren__: wisper?

[12:38] <tom_> how do you connect to a network without using knetworkmanager
[12:38] <lint> hi, does anyone else in here use last exit?
[12:38] <opt1k> davetarmac: np
[12:39] <gluonman> Can anyone tell me how I can create an archive of type .7z or .rar in Ubuntu?
[12:39] <darren__> carandraug, i have tryed but it does not work i have also tryed donloading an old driver from aircrack, with that driver it does not show signal but connects then i tryed ndiswrapper driver which shows signal but only connects to an open ap but not my wep router, so now im thinking of installing the driver that comes with it
[12:39] <dns53> gluonman you need to install 7zip and unrar or unrar-nonfree
[12:39] <gluonman> dns53, are those in the repos?
[12:40] <carandraug> gluonman: yes they are
[12:40] <dns53> yes, unrar-nonfree is not open source, unrar is
[12:40] <gluonman> carandraug, dns53, thank you.
[12:40] <delaneys> any easy way to share files between two ubuntu systems on a lan...????
[12:41] <carandraug> darren__: ok, so tell us the steps in the instruction you're having problems with
[12:41] <darren__> carandraug, basic from step 1 it says 1. Build up the drivers from the source code  ./makedrv
[12:42] <darren__> carandraug, i have extracted the tar to my home folder than it says that
[12:42] <dns53> delaneys right click a folder to give sharing options
[12:42] <sat_e_llite> hi
[12:42] <dns53> hey sat_e_llite, ask away
[12:42] <delaneys> dns53: i must be dumb:P
[12:42] <morningwalker> GUYS... on system monitor it reads that ubuntu is eating an astounding amount of 765mb of RAM!!!
[12:43] <sat_e_llite> about this thread I posted at the forums: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=918591  anyone got ideas?
[12:43] <carandraug> darren__: Jesus! They're already asking you to compile drivers? I have no experience whatsoever with that. Ask arund that your wireless card comes with drivers for Linux but asks you to compile them and you don't know how. Sorry but I can't help you on that
[12:44] <carandraug> !compile > darren__
[12:44] <darren__> carandraug, ok thannks for trying i will take a look at the link
[12:44] <arun_> hey walker.. my ubuntu has also become slow
[12:45] <arun_> its eating about 500 MB here
[12:45] <rage__> I wish my ubuntu liked all my audio channels.
[12:45] <jkp> ??
[12:45] <carandraug> darren__: the link ubottu gives shows the standard method to compile stuff. I would help you go through the instructions but right now, I don't have that time. Sorry
[12:45] <DIFH-iceroot> there is a difference betwen "eating" all the ram and using cache/buffer
[12:46] <dns53> sat_e_llite there have been lots of reports of problems with wubi installs, defrag your whole drive it seems to work
[12:46] <darren__> carandraug, no probs thanks for the link sure i will work it out
[12:46] <sat_e_llite> i defragged the ubuntu folder, have no time to defrag the whole drive
[12:47] <arun_> Hey my system has become so slow.. its not like this before
[12:47] <arun_> 3 GB RAM my machine has
[12:47] <dns53> arun_ type dmesg in a terminal and see if anything comes up, also run top to see the programs running
[12:47] <opt1k> sat_e_llite: why would you defrag a system that's running linux in the first place?
[12:48] <sat_e_llite> umm it's a wubi installation
[12:48] <opt1k> oh.. i c

[12:49] <arun_> hey dns53 for top its showing XOrg... its taking about 90 %
[12:49] <arun_> CPU
[12:49] <dns53> sat_e_llite well you could try an installation to a partition and you will not have this problem, i'd get defrag running overnight or while you are at work and it should work better
[12:50] <arun_> And dmesg a lot of messages have come !
[12:50] <sat_e_llite> can i use this solution?  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=438591

Vmware sees the printer though and ubuntu recognizes it properly. Just gives an error message from cups "There was an error during the CUPS operation: 'client-error-document-format-not-supported'

[12:58] <Jubei> Kelderkeuken: that test page is stored as pdf and will not work from live cd?
[12:59] <Kelderkeuken> Jubei: was just a guess, because it says format not supported
[12:59] <Fused> Ziroday: The only reason I'm not using VLC is because the video is scrambled in it, too.

[13:06] <ushimitsudoki> Dabbu: If you are unable to accept an OS that is not an exact clone of Windows, and therefore prefix or postfix every comment about Ubuntu with something like "...but in windows ..." then save yourself and others a lot of frustration and do NOT use Ubuntu.
[13:06] <jrib> davidguest: line 22 drops everything.  That means the three ircd rules you have after line 22 never have any effect
[13:07] <ushimitsudoki> Dabbu: Otherwise, give it a couple of weeks tryout and see if it works for you.

[13:08] <Kelderkeuken> Dabbu: yeah it takes a lot of guts to install software on a computer ^^
[13:09] <Dabbu> *these
[13:09] <jrib> davidguest: you need to make the rule on line 22 the last rule wherever you are setting these rules
[13:09] <zoed> sat_e_llite: you have one available on the live cd: System->Administration->Partition Editor
[13:09] <Kelderkeuken> ls
[13:09] <Kelderkeuken> (oops)
[13:09] <Johncl> hey all I was wondering if anyone here is running ubuntu on a macbook? Im having trouble with the sound.
[13:10] <davidguest> i love ubuntu deskop best move from windows though i do miss visual studio .net is their a comparable one for mono at all
[13:10] <Dabbu> F* the game....computers are not 4 game,if we want to play game better use playstation
[13:10] <garymo>  how can I translate the my favorites web pages from other user section to this?
[13:10] <sat_e_llite> can it create partitions?
[13:10] <kyo> 中国
[13:10] <aijiuwen> zhong guo?
[13:10] <ushimitsudoki> davidguest: I like Netbeans and Eclipse as IDEs, but I can't speak to mono directly
[13:10] <aijiuwen> kyo, are you Chinese>?
[13:10] <Dabbu> the more you use ubuntu the more you will love it
[13:11] <zoed> sat_e_llite: yes, but only use it from the live cd when changing your current hard disk, because otherwise you could have data loss!
[13:11] <geirha> sat_e_llite: Yes, the ubuntu CD comes with gparted, which can create, delete, resize and move partitions.
[13:11] <ushimitsudoki> !cn | kyo
[13:11] <zoed> sat_e_llite: and think carefully before deleting or changing partitions.
[13:11] <dns53> garymo bookmarks > organize/manage > export to a file, then import the file
[13:11] <davidguest> i just miss the .net contorols easyto put up a datagrid and all
[13:11] <sat_e_llite> thanks
[13:11] <hyphenated> davidguest: no not really, because most open-source developers don't like "one specific way" of development, and use a mash-up of tools instead
[13:11] <davidguest> any dev enviroments like it for mono
[13:11] <davidguest> ah
[13:12] <hyphenated> davidguest: but specifically for mono, there might be a few
[13:12] <sat_e_llite> !bm
[13:12] <davidguest> would be an intresting open source project to start
[13:12] <sat_e_llite> oops
[13:12] <hyphenated> davidguest: but what IDE would you write it in?? ;-)
[13:12] <garymo> how I arrive to bookmarks
[13:12] <garymo> ?
[13:12] <davidguest> fair pint lol
[13:12] <davidguest> fair point i meen
[13:13] <ushimitsudoki> garymo: what do you mean? Bookmarks for Places and similar are in ~/.gtk-bookmarks
[13:13] <dns53> garymo there should be an export menu entry
[13:13] <hyphenated> fair pint would be good right about now too ;-)
[13:13] <onx> i'd like a fair pint now
[13:13] <Kelderkeuken> !love

[13:16] <Mustafa_Kaya> i wanna use undiswrapper
[13:17] <Mustafa_Kaya> to install my windows driver into ubuntu
[13:17] <Mustafa_Kaya> and it asks me to show a inf file
[13:17] <Mustafa_Kaya> which one should i show?
[13:17] <Fused> Ziroday: Thanks for the help, but I finally figured out what was wrong.
[13:17] <Fused> lol.
[13:17] <Mustafa_Kaya> https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/internet/C/ndiswrapper.html
[13:17] <Ziroday> Fused: what was it?
[13:18] <Fused> libcss was missing.
[13:18] <Fused> *libdvdcss
[13:18] <Mustafa_Kaya> how can i find the inf file for intel 2200bg?
[13:18] <Ziroday> Fused: asked you if you had all the libraries installed :)
[13:18] <Mustafa_Kaya> is there anyone out there?
[13:18] <Ziroday> Mustafa_Kaya: from the intel website or the driver cd that came with the card
[13:19] <Kelderkeuken> Mustafa_Kaya: so you are trying to wrap a driver you don't have?
[13:19] <Fused> Ziroday: libdvdcss never came up in the package manager, so I didn't know where it was.
[13:19] <ikonia> you don't need ndis for intel cards
[13:19] <Mustafa_Kaya> i couldnt find it on intel site
[13:19] <Fused> Ziroday: Had to search around a bit.
[13:19] <Rimen> hello
[13:19] <Mustafa_Kaya> normally my computer works on windows
[13:19] <ikonia> Mustafa_Kaya: intel have native drivers for linux, they are already in the kernel
[13:19] <Mustafa_Kaya> so i have it if i can write now :D
[13:19] <Ziroday> Fused: you can just install ubuntu-restriced-extras iirc that installs libdvdcss2
[13:19] <Rimen> can some1 tell me where can I learn how to use and redecorate fluxbox
[13:19] <Mustafa_Kaya> well im a complete beginner
[13:19] <Mustafa_Kaya> i dont know anything
[13:19] <Fused> Ziroday: I already had that installed, and it still wouldn't work.
[13:20] <ikonia> Rimen: fluxbox.org
[13:20] <Mustafa_Kaya> if you could help me that would be great
[13:20] <ikonia> Mustafa_Kaya: what do you want help with exactly ?
[13:20] <Ziroday> Fused: hmm, thats odd thanks
[13:20] <Mustafa_Kaya> i need to install a driver as far as i understand
[13:20] <ikonia> Mustafa_Kaya: what card do you have
[13:20] <Mustafa_Kaya> since i cant connect to the net on linux
[13:20] <Mustafa_Kaya> intel 2200bg
[13:21] <ikonia> Mustafa_Kaya: you don't need to install a driver
[13:21] <Fused> Ziroday: No problem. Thanks again, bye.
[13:21] <Fused> :)
[13:21] <ikonia> Mustafa_Kaya: ubuntu should be aware of that card already
[13:21] <delaneys> how do i share a printer between two ubuntu computers on a network
[13:21] <Mustafa_Kaya> so why cant i connect??
[13:21] <ikonia> Mustafa_Kaya: thats a different question
[13:21] <ikonia> Mustafa_Kaya: what are you trying to connect to ?
[13:21] <Kelderkeuken> the net lol
[13:21] <Kelderkeuken> wireless card
[13:21] <Mustafa_Kaya> :D:D
[13:21] <Mustafa_Kaya> yes
[13:22] <Mustafa_Kaya> wireless net
[13:22] <ikonia> Kelderkeuken: thats not funny, I'm trying to get information
[13:22] <ikonia> Mustafa_Kaya: what device are you trying to connect to, is it encypted/not encypted
[13:22] <Kelderkeuken> ikonia: sorry, he already said tho
[13:22] <Mustafa_Kaya> encr
[13:22] <ikonia> Kelderkeuken: no he didn't say

[13:22] <ikonia> Mustafa_Kaya: ok - what type of encyption
[13:22] <dinesh_> hi i am new to ubuntu can anyone please help me how to begin with learning
[13:22] <ikonia> dinesh_: what would you like to learn
[13:22] <Mustafa_Kaya> i think it must be WEP
[13:22] <ikonia> Mustafa_Kaya: you need to "know" what encyption it is - don't guess
[13:23] <Mustafa_Kaya> how can i know?
[13:23] <Mustafa_Kaya> on windows i only write a password
[13:23] <Mustafa_Kaya> it doesnt ask me professional details about networking:P
[13:23] <ikonia> Mustafa_Kaya: look in the router config or in the window config for teh encyuption level
[13:23] <ikonia> Mustafa_Kaya: it's not professional level to know what encyption method you setup on your router
[13:24] <Mustafa_Kaya> how an i look in my router config?
[13:24] <Mustafa_Kaya> with "run"?
[13:24] <ikonia> Mustafa_Kaya: depends on your router make, consult the documention
[13:24] <ikonia> Mustafa_Kaya: most routers use a web interface

[13:37] <fr500> marshall: sftp works fine for me

[13:38] <KDB9000> I am trying to connect to an ssh server using the gnome server connect (need to move files around), but my ssh server has public and private keys (which I have). How do I use the gnome connect to server over ssh with keys?
[13:38] <marshall> fr500: what ip would make ubuntu look for the computer connected by ethernet?
[13:38] <dinesh_> ikonia: on the upper right hand side where we got the icon for network connection it does not have option for wireless
[13:38] <fr500> marshall: the ip address configured on the other machine of course
[13:39] <dinesh_> ikonia : i am having vista as the other os and i had also tried ndiswrapper but unable to sort out the problem
[13:39] <marshall> fr500: i dont want to transfer it over the internet, the computers are connected right now by an ethernet cord
[13:40] <fr500> so? whats the difference, tcp /ip is tcp/ip
[13:40] <dinesh_> ikonia:
[13:40] <KDB9000> dinesh_, what kind of network card do you have?
[13:40] <fr500> you just need to configure both computers on a common subnet
[13:40] <ikonia> dinesh_: you don't need ndis wrapper
[13:41] <dinesh_> ikonia: ok

[13:48] <HelpPlease> TiredWolf: Can you name one? :D
[13:48] <KDB9000> dinesh_, either you need two computers or you need to hard wire your ubuntu system in so we can run some test. the problem can't be solved if you can try the solutions
[13:48] <TiredWolf> HelpPlease: wondershaper, but that's just the first that occurs to me. try instead "apt-cache search traffic shap"

[13:50] <roxahris> Hey
[13:51] <roxahris> I just tried to reinstall Ubuntu

[13:51] <dinesh_> KDB9000: wi fi network
[13:51] <roxahris> It got to 50%, gave me a warning, and stopped
[13:51] <Ziroday> roxahris: and the warning was?
[13:51] <TiredWolf> eugman: i don't use it, but if you don't find them easily, they might be in a hidden $HOME/.rtorrent directory
[13:51] <roxahris> I forgot
[13:51] <roxahris> it was something about... block sizes?
[13:52] <roxahris> it mentioned 4096 bytes
[13:52] <Ziroday> roxahris: thats really really unhelpful
[13:52] <KDB9000> dinesh_, yes, i know that, but is it an internal card or an external system
[13:52] <roxahris> yeah
[13:52] <roxahris> sorry

[13:52] <eugman> TiredWolf: I'll take a look. How can I search from the command line if I wnated to?
[13:52] <nandemonai> eugman, from memory either the dir the torrent file is located or the dir it's invoked from.
[13:52] <roxahris> But I have no idea why oit didn't work
[13:52] <dinesh_> KDB9000: its internal
[13:52] <TiredWolf> eugman: "ls $HOME/.rtorrent" if it exists, or "find $HOME | grep torrent" to search
[13:53] <g0tcha> is it possible to delete all the *.log.2 and so on from /var/log ?
[13:53] <TiredWolf> g0tcha: yes
[13:53] <Ziroday> roxahris: well run the install again, make sure the cd was burnt correctly and the md5 sum matches up and record the error on a piece of paper
[13:53] <ActionParsnip> yo yo yo
[13:53] <g0tcha> thanks
[13:53] <roxahris> MD5 went fine

[13:58] <xtrememertx> yes
[13:58] <dinesh_> KDB9000:
[13:58] <ActionParsnip> dinesh_: do you have physical access to your router?
[13:59] <VVSiz> good evening, gentlemen! does anybody know how to disable "screen saver" in Ubuntu's *CONSOLE*?
[13:59] <xtrememertx> i added video ram  opetion few minutes back to see if it works .. its still the same
[13:59] <dinesh_> ActionParsnip: no it is college network
[13:59] <ActionParsnip> dinesh_: hmm, you need some wired connection til you can get sorted, or download the stuff you need to cd or usb storage then transfer
[14:00] <VVSiz> so far, reading man pages, it seems that 'vidcontrol' tool is the way to disable console's screen saver, but I can't seem to find that app anywhere
[14:00] <ActionParsnip> VVSiz: do you ever want them on?
[14:00] <ActionParsnip> VVSiz: you could just uninstall them
[14:00] <roxahris> okay
[14:01] <dinesh_> ActionParsnip: tell me what stuff to download
[14:01] <roxahris> I'm reinstalling it
[14:01] <VVSiz> ActionParsnip: uninstall what? by screen saver, I mean that in TEXT mode my console goes blank
[14:01] <ActionParsnip> VVSiz: ooh i dunno but if you find out can you tell me. Im doing a gentoo install and i keep having to hit cursor to make it turn on again
[14:01] <VVSiz> so, no X11 stuff in my case, I have pure text console and would like to disable the screen going blank :)
[14:01] <KDB9000> need some help with gnome connect to server over ssh. my ssh server is using public/private keys to auth.
[14:02] <ActionParsnip> dinesh_: what isthe output of lspci - one line will be your wireless device
[14:02] <VVSiz> ActionParsnip: the man says use vidcontrol, but I don't know in which package to find it
[14:02] <ActionParsnip> !find vidcontrol
[14:02] <ActionParsnip> well that was pretty useless
[14:03] <dinesh_> Actionparsnip:right now i am using window as i donot have access to wireless on ubuntu
[14:03] <ActionParsnip> dinesh_: boot to linux and run the command. write down what it says about your wireless device
[14:03] <xtrememertx> I have  been trying different hings   since two weeks still no luck , even a normal  avi file is laggy
[14:03] <ActionParsnip> dinesh_: then come back
[14:04] <Kartagis> does ubuntu have software in which you can convert a video to ascii format?

[14:05] <ActionParsnip> xtrememertx: i set up someones i810 yesterday and her xorg.conf was much simpler
[14:05] <pvh_sa|wrk> heya all... i'd like to set up automatic updates on our servers - especially for security updates
[14:05] <g0deater> Hi, is anyone here using compiz-fusion with 2 monitors and an ati card?
[14:05] <g0tcha> umm.. how can i add the 'universal' source to the source.list using terminal?
[14:06] <ActionParsnip> xtrememertx: if you see someone called st3ph (fairly regular user) as her for her xorg.conf
[14:06] <ce_jomblo_18> hai
[14:06] <ActionParsnip> g0tcha: sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.lst and uncomment what you want including

[14:06] <ActionParsnip> g0tcha: dont quote me on the path to sources.lst
[14:07] <ActionParsnip> dinesh_: the one about your wifi
[14:07] <pvh_sa|wrk> in order to do that, should i separate out -security updates into their own sources.list and apt-get upgrade from that sources.list ?
[14:07] <xtrememertx> thx  actionparship will she be on irc ?
[14:07] <Darrenpaullittle> ActionParsnip, hi had to change my nick where would you like me to paste the results
[14:07] <Celanor> Quick question: ANyone know how to enable 32-bit packages in 64-bit versions of Ubuntu, lostthe command to do it
[14:07] <ActionParsnip> dinesh_: type what it says
[14:07] <KDB9000> dinesh_, it will most likely say "network controller" before it.
[14:07] <ActionParsnip> xtrememertx: quite a lot, yes
[14:08] <marshall> ive set up shares on my desktop and whenever i try to access them on my laptop it just keeps asking for my username and password after ive entered it correctly
[14:08] <roxahris> don't you just put "-32" after the package name?
[14:08] <ActionParsnip> Celanor: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-7742.html
[14:08] <xtrememertx> she has the same chipset ?
[14:08] <VVSiz> scampbell: excellent, thank you!!! that worked (I hope!) :)
[14:09] <ActionParsnip> marshall: check in /etc/samba/smb.conf and you will see the allowed users, make sure the name you want to use is in there
[14:09] <dinesh_> Actionparsnip: it does not have anything about wi fi but has about network controller
[14:09] <KDB9000> dinesh_, that is the one you are looking for
[14:10] <scampbell> VVSiz: you'll have to bury it your startups someplace of course.  It's only valid until reboot.

[14:11] <ActionParsnip> Darrenpaullittle: thats the usb controller, not the wireless card
[14:11] <ActionParsnip> g0tcha: you got apt-get running or synaptic open?
[14:11] <KDB9000> dinesh_, you didn't send anything.
[14:12] <VVSiz> scampbell: sure, will do.
[14:12] <Celanor> Not what I'm looking for, there's an actual terminal command that allows Ubuntu to use 32bit packages. Done it with SKype and a few other programs
[14:12] <Darrenpaullittle> ActionParsnip, ok it does not show up only the built in

I have checked everything, cable, cards, etc.. also the DHCP is not working, everything is ok in my LAN, I have 4 computers connected in DHCP without any problem, but I can't do it with ubuntu server, Any help please?

[14:17] <sanjoe> hmm.... no respond..
[14:17] <Pizarro> I also tried with 2 diferent network cards and the same
[14:17] <Pizarro> Before I was using CentOS in this same computer, but I formated the hard drive and Installed Ubuntu Server
[14:17] <KDB9000> dinesh_, well that is with ndiswrapper, i know alot of the guys in the forum use it for the broadcom drivers.
[14:18] <Pizarro> Any help please?
[14:18] <g0tcha> ActionParsnip, is there a reason why it didnt show up with ps x ?
[14:18] <brubelsabs> Hi, when I do aptitude update there is a "Hash Sum mismatch" what can I do? I've the out-of-the-box sources.list and 8.04.

[14:19] <maniack> hi
[14:19] <maniack> anyone home
[14:19] <KDB9000> dinesh_, that might be your best bet. i was able to get my broadcom to work with the b34 driver. i don't know if it will work for you.
[14:19] <Chousuke> bakarat: chmod? :)
[14:19] <livingdaylight__> !hi | maniack
[14:19] <maniack> have a question pleaase
[14:19] <Pizarro> How is possible that Ubuntu Server can't get the DHCP when ht eothers computers do??? During the installation everything went ok, also in lsmod etc.. everything is ok
[14:19] <dinesh_> KDB9000: ok i need to give it a try right
[14:19] <bakarat> Chousuke, this by default changes the permission on the target file, not the link itself apparantly
[14:20] <ActionParsnip> Pizarro: if you set /etc/network/interfaces to static ip then it wont
[14:20] <legend2440> Pizarro: perhaps someone in channel       #ubuntu-server   would know
[14:20] <bakarat> Chousuke, i tried adding -h but that doesn't work
[14:20] <livingdaylight__> !ask | maniack
[14:20] <Pizarro> ActionParsnip, actually it's set in static and it doesn't
[14:20] <Chousuke> bakarat: why do you want to change permissions on the link itself, anyway?
[14:20] <maniack> about my cpu
[14:20] <maniack> who is willing to help
[14:20] <Pizarro> ActionParsnip, I installed this stuff 4 times, the last one in static mode
[14:20] <Chousuke> bakarat: doesn't sound very useful :(
[14:20] <maniack> pizarro can you assit please
[14:20] <KDB9000> dinesh_, alot of the docs i looked at pointed me to that site. if you want we can try b34 driver.
[14:21] <adamk>  maniack  Just ASK the question.
[14:21] <ActionParsnip> Pizarro: try setting a suitable ip to your network and ping
[14:21] <bakarat> Chousuke, for some reason it says that the end user has no permission, even though on the directory that the link points to, he has
[14:21] <bakarat> Chousuke, the link however is owned by the root, i thought that could be the problem
[14:21] <KDB9000> ActionParsnip, do you know if the b34 driver for broadcom wifi will work with the BCM94311MCG wifi card?
[14:21] <Darrenpaullittle> Ok question to every one I have a built in wireless and a usb wireless on two laptops, I have done a freash install of ubuntu on both laptops, on my girlfriendsn laptop I can use wireless stright away with out doing any thing, but on mine it does not know its there, so I downlaed a driver from aircrack which lets me use the usb wireless but does not show signel strength, so I tried wicd which just shows full sugnel stre
[14:21] <Darrenpaullittle> ngth but does not let me connect, so then I used ndiswrapper with a windows driver that shows signel strength and lets me connect to an open connection but not wep with the right code,
[14:21] <Darrenpaullittle> is there any way I can just get this stupid thing to work be doing another fresh install of ubutu and just adding something easy,,,tryed so many things and so many hours reading but its not helping,,, could it be that my sony is not compatible with the wireless or some thing else....please help im going crazy, sorry for so much do hard to explain in a few words
[14:21] <Chousuke> bakarat: if the user has read permission on the link then it shouldn't matter :/
[14:21] <ActionParsnip> KDB9000: id use ndiswrapper, broadcom is garbage
[14:21] <brubelsabs> no one knows what to do with an hash mismatch, or is my question not precise enough?
[14:21] <livingdaylight__> Pizarro, why not stick with CentOS if it works?
[14:21] <dinesh_> ok try b34 driver
[14:22] <bakarat> Chousuke, hmm
[14:22] <Pizarro> ActionParsnip, my router is configured to give DHCP from 192.168.1.10 to .....255, from 192.168.1.2 to ...10 is for static, I already have a lan printer in static at 192.168.1.3 working FINE, and I set ubuntu to work at 192.168.1.2 AND I CANT PING MY GATEWAY
[14:22] <KDB9000> ActionParsnip, mine works with the b34 driver, couple hickups here and there
[14:22] <Chousuke> bakarat: I just checked
[14:22] <Chousuke> bakarat: it's not possible
[14:22] <ActionParsnip> Pizarro: is it wired or wireless?
[14:23] <bakarat> Chousuke, it was a mistake on my part :D
[14:23] <Chousuke> bakarat: the manual page says that the permissions of a symbolic link are never used
[14:23] <Pizarro> ActionParsnip, my gateway (router) is at 192.168.1.1, and is WIRED, no WIFI
[14:23] <Chousuke> heh
[14:23] <KDB9000> Pizarro, did you also set the gateway?
[14:23] <maniack> when want to change the password going through the bios how do i about it
[14:23] <ActionParsnip> Pizarro: tried a different cable?
[14:24] <Pizarro> KDB9000, yes during the installation , I selected manual, and I set 192.168.1.1 for the gateway (router), and 192.168.1.2 for the IP, 255.255.255.0 for mask, etc..
[14:24] <KDB9000> dinesh_, it would be best to use ndiswrapper. just follow the website i sent you.
[14:24] <dinesh_> KDB9000; ok
[14:24] <scampbell> VVSiz: take a glance man setterm, you may want a few more options like  -powersave off
[14:24] <Pizarro> I tried different cables that are working in other computers, even I tried diferent networks cards, and nothing
[14:25] <Pizarro> It seems this version doesn't work for my computer/rrouter I don't know
[14:25] <Pizarro> but it's not the first time I install linux
[14:25] <KDB9000> Pizarro, you said you did it during the install, are you still trying to install or do you have a desktop?
[14:25] <Pizarro> I really don't know what to do
[14:25] <livingdaylight__> Pizarro, if CentOS works-stick with what works?
[14:26] <Pizarro> KDB9000, I've done the installation 4 times, and always the same result, everything seems to be ok, eth0 is ok, drivers loaded, etc.. but I can't ping anywhere , also my router
[14:26] <brubelsabs> I just switched to another mirror, than the default sources.list suggested me (archive instead of de.archive) and then all went well...)
[14:26] <KDB9000> Pizarro, what does ifconfig say?
[14:27] <Pizarro> livingdaylight__, CentOs was working PERFECTLY in the same computer, with the same nic, and with the same router, I was using Trixbox, but now I wanted to change
[14:27] <IntangibleLiquid> guys, I cannot find the "tick" symbol anywhere in Ubuntu. Where is it? I have to fill in an urgent application.
[14:27] <Pizarro> KDB9000, the only strange thing is 5 on TX errors on eth0
[14:28] <Pizarro> I'm seriously thinking in kick this out and move to Debian
[14:28] <Pizarro> (genuine=
[14:28] <bakarat> is there a way to set that files that are created in a particular directory take on the same permissions as the parent,
[14:28] <bakarat> (so the directory)
[14:28] <KDB9000> Pizarro, other then that the ip, mask, and broadcast ips are alright, correct?
[14:29] <livingdaylight__> Pizarro, so you had somehting which was PEFECTLY as you say, but you want to change because? Are you really looking for something that doesnt' work so you can waste time 'moaning while trying to fix it;?

[14:34] <yates> huh???

[14:35] <jrib> NICE|BOT: do not run bots that message people in this channel
[14:35] <bullgard4> Ziroday: I do not know what 'to bark up' means. "du bist auf dem Holzweg"?
[14:35] <KDB9000> Pizarro, you also mentioned that DHCP fails?
[14:35] <Ziroday> bullgard4: sorry, its a english saying. I could be completely and utterly incorrect
[14:35] <Pizarro> KDB9000, yes ALWAYS, I have to go throught manual setup
[14:35] <jrib> yates: yes, I get tpconfig
[14:35] <ickmund> If my syslog shows I/O error on dev sr0 when trying to install 'bootstrap-base', where's the problem? HDD, CD, something else?
[14:35] <yates> how is that a match to the search string given?
[14:35] <darksifer> milostrife just ask your question

[14:36] <RickZilla> Hi gang, trying to install Ubuntu on a Pentium 3 running at 667MHz with 256k RAM...that should work, shouldn't it?
[14:36] <KDB9000> Pizarro, hmm, interesting. it shouldn't matter what kind of router you have, but it is odd that it works in another linux OS and not ubunut.
[14:36] <jrib> NICE|BOT: are you still noisy?
[14:36] <dinesh_> KDB9000: i also used google but the no of sites is so large that  i am confused
[14:36] <milostrife> darksifer, i've got a second hdd but for some reason i cant install windows onto it i just keep getting a message saying windows installer cannot find a windows compatible partion
[14:36] <Ziroday> RickZilla: you might want xubuntu instead, or at least more ram
[14:36] <yates> ahh, ok, thanks jrib
[14:37] <Pizarro> KDB9000, that's what I thought, however I have to set up a server, and Ubuntu it seems so far not a good idea,
[14:37] <Ziroday> milostrife: windows support in ##windows please
[14:37] <xtrememertx> does aiglx warnings have anyything to do with low fps ?
[14:37] <RickZilla> Ziroday:  I wondered if that was it...it tried to install, then froze up halfway through
[14:37] <yates> -n is the ticket
[14:37] <KDB9000> dinesh_, like i said, the forum, wiki, and help are good places to get or find help with ubuntu. wiki.ubuntu.com forum.ubuntu.com
[14:37] <yates> yessss - niiice!
[14:37] <Ziroday> RickZilla: you might also want to use the alternate installer instead of the graphical installer. The graphical installer can't run on such old specs
[14:37] <Pizarro> KDB9000, my boss wanted me to put Windows Server, I told him to trust me...but it turned that he was right
[14:37] <milostrife> Ziroday,  sorry i dont understand the question
[14:37] <Ziroday> xtrememertx: depends what the warning are
[14:37] <darksifer> milostrife check out http://apcmag.com/how_to_dual_boot_linux_and_windows_xp_linux_installed_first.htm?page=5

[14:38] <milostrife> darksifer, thanks :)
[14:38] <RickZilla> Ziroday:  thanks for the info, I'll look into that next
[14:38] <dinesh_> KDB9000: ok thanks
[14:38] <dinesh_> KDB9000:bye
[14:38] <Ziroday> Artti: depends on how much personal stuff you are going to have and how many programs you are going to install
[14:38] <Pizarro> KDB9000, well, in this computer here doesn't work, and I am not a noob on this (configuring network)
[14:38] <irctest> KDB , why not you give him a suggestion size ~~~
[14:39] <adamk> Pizarro, Open up a bug report.
[14:39] <yates> new question: why am i getting a rather large /var/log/acpid message log file?
[14:39] <milostrife> darksifer,  the problem is not it cant load windows or ubuntu it's i wont register a raw formmat to install windows to
[14:39] <dinesh_> exit
[14:39] <Pizarro> adamk, I am going to try installing directly a genuine Debian distro
[14:39] <KDB9000> Pizarro, so you are installing ubuntu server. what kind of nic is it?
[14:39] <Artti> Ziroday, so 20 GB should be fine for ubuntu?
[14:39] <Pizarro> KDB9000, I tried with a Realtek Gigabit and a VIA chip based one
[14:40] <Ziroday> Artti: yes
[14:40] <elky> !icons > jrib
[14:40] <xtrememertx> i'm using 20 gb for ubuntu
[14:40] <Pizarro> KDB9000, the mother board has a VIA chip for network, I though that wasn't compatible with ubuntu, so I installed a realtek (NEW) and it doesn't work too
[14:40] <Artti> Ziroday, Okey, thanks, i will continue with my install.
[14:41] <xtrememertx> Ziroday: here are my warnings http://paste.ubuntu.com/47148/
[14:41] <Ziroday> Artti: have fun
[14:41] <Ziroday> xtrememertx: does the card run fine?
[14:41] <KDB9000> Pizarro, I don't think realtek are linux friendly.
[14:41] <kalila> How is the state of ATI cards for ubuntu?
[14:42] <xtrememertx> its an 810 .. i'm  getting low fps on glx gears ..i'm not even able to watch youtube
[14:42] <Pizarro> KDB9000, well that card worked on Debian 2 years ago, and under Mandrake, however what about the VIA one (Rhine II)?
[14:42] <Ziroday> kalila: it depends which card, but it has got better
[14:42] <xtrememertx> and cant play simple 2d games
[14:42] <erUSUL> KDB9000: it is... it has drivers on its website and all its chips are supported by linux in tree drivers afaik
[14:42] <Ziroday> xtrememertx: have you installed the correct drivers?
[14:42] <RickZilla> Ziroday:  So get the 'alternate' download,instead of the 'desktop' download, correct?
[14:42] <Ziroday> RickZilla: correct, and you might also want to get xubuntu instead of ubuntu
[14:42] <xtrememertx> i had no problem on xp .. i used to  even play cs 1.6
[14:42] <xtrememertx> yes
[14:42] <xtrememertx> i'm using i810
[14:43] <scampbell> kalila: FWIW, I just dumped my ATI card in cardboard box.   I really wanted to give ATI a chance but the performance was just lackluster compared to the nvidia so I went back.
[14:43] <KDB9000> erUSUL, I haven't used realtek lately. The forum showed alot of people having problems with realtek cards (not just nics)
[14:43] <xtrememertx> Ziroday: my xorg  config ﻿http://paste.ubuntu.com/47142/
[14:44] <Pizarro> I hope this time this last installation works, otherwise I will kick out this stuff
[14:44] <Ziroday> xtrememertx: one moment please
[14:44] <scampbell> kalila: however, drivers to exist,  search for  fglx to find them
[14:44] <xtrememertx> ok
[14:44] <erUSUL> KDB9000: well i do have a r8169 realtek card and it works
[14:44] <KDB9000> Pizarro, as far as via, I am not sure.
[14:44] <kalila> scampbell: Ziroday :     ATI Radeon HD 3450
[14:44] <KDB9000> erUSUL, I guess I do too. just took a look at my lspci and my wired is a realtek.
[14:44] <kalila> scampbell: Ziroday :  I woulnd't really want anything beyond the usual compiz eye candy... don't want games or that stuff
[14:45] <Ziroday> kalila: gimme a sec
[14:45] <scampbell> kalila: yeah I had a ATI all-in-wonder HD.   It wasn't fast enough for HD under linux.  The rest should work fine for you. Although, my Warcraft under Wine did't like the ATI either.
[14:45] <KDB9000> Pizarro, when you get done with the install lets try and reset it manually with the commandline
[14:46] <Ziroday> kalila: the support for that card is meant to be very good, however the driver may not be released yet in Ubuntu 8.04 for them. Try the live cd
[14:46] <maszlo> I was wondering what UPS work best with ubuntu.. if I was going to get something I would like it to shutdown and power on correctly with the OS.   any recommendations?  only need this to run the computer and modem + router.  do not need a monitor
[14:47] <KDB9000> Pizarro, for the via you can do an lspci and see if it comes up.
[14:47] <Pizarro> KDB9000, ok, meanwhile the installation is done, I am burning the Debian first disc isntalaltion..
[14:47] <Ziroday> xtrememertx: you need to use the "intel" driver instead of the i810 one
[14:47] <xtrememertx> i tried using intel no difference
[14:48] <KDB9000> Pizarro, let me know what lspci turns up
[14:48] <Pizarro> ok, but I already checked that before and everything was ok
[14:48]  * delcoyote hi
[14:48] <Ziroday> xtrememertx: I don't know how relevant this might be but check out https://help.ubuntu.com/community/i810
[14:49] <ickmund> I'm installing hardy through alt. cd. I've setup a software raid0, but then it fails on base. syslog shows some IO/error on dev sr0, sector 386, followed by a debootstrap: /target/var/lib/apt/lists/debootstrap.invalid_dists_hardy_main_binary-i386_Packages: No such file or directory. The two lists I have are .. _hardy_Release, and .. _hardy_restricted_binary-i386_Packages_partial.
[14:50] <ickmund> Seems to me that there's a problem writing the list to disk. But what is sr0? Is it a problem with my HDD? Or my CD?
[14:50] <xtrememertx> Ziroday:I have been trying  different things  since two weeks ..no luck even a simple avi file lags
[14:50] <scampbell> ickmund: did you run the 'test cd' option before you installed?  It sounds like an problem in the cd burn.  /dev/sr0 is usually a cd/dvd drive.
[14:50] <opt1k> is there sometihng like Team Viewer for Linux?
[14:51] <bijoy> how do i choose a access concentrator after /sbin/pppoe -A
[14:51] <KDB9000> Pizarro, so what did lspci come up with?
[14:51] <magnetron> opt1k, what is team viewer?
[14:52] <mrunagi> can anyone help me figure out why my SD card wont auto mount? its just one of my cards that wont
[14:52] <opt1k> magnetron: it gives me remote control of a friends computer
[14:52] <artpoetryfiction> how can I install a program downloaded as a .sh file?
[14:53] <magnetron> opt1k, in a graphical way? sounds like VNC in ubuntu
[14:53] <opt1k> magnetron: yeah, graphical way.. where can i get vnc?
[14:53] <bijoy> how do i connect thru a access concentrator after /sbin/pppoe -A
[14:53] <blak> i have removed the splash screen from boot, how do i remove the splash screen from shutdown as well?
[14:53] <Kelderkeuken> artpoetryfiction: that is a script file, go to the directory it is in and do ./name.sh   if it comes with instructions read them
[14:54] <bijoy> how do i connect thru a access concentrator after /sbin/pppoe -A
[14:54] <Pizarro> KDB9000, installation finished, still no ping to my router even though the PC is wirded DIRECTLY to it. IFCONFIG everything OK, excepts 5 errors on TX
[14:54] <xnv> artpoetryfiction: A .sh is an executable. If you're sure you want to execute it, you can give it execute permissions (chmod +x filename.sh) and then run it... ./filename.sh
[14:55] <KDB9000> Pizarro, did you try and route command?
[14:55] <mrunagi> !SD
[14:55] <Pizarro> KDB9000, no, just a second
[14:55] <magnetron> opt1k, you already have it. the client is in applications > internet > remote desktop something. if you are on ubuntu and want to share your desktop, go to System > Preferences > Remote Desktop. there are VNC clients and servers for windows and mac os x too
[14:55] <blak> i have removed the splash screen from boot, how do i remove the splash screen from shutdown as well?
[14:55] <xtrememertx> !St3ph
[14:55] <bijoy> how do i connect thru a access concentrator after /sbin/pppoe -A
[14:55] <opt1k> magnetron: oh, i didn't know that, ty, i'll check it out now
[14:56] <Pizarro> KDB9000, what was the command? I lost it
[14:56] <artpoetryfiction> Kelderkeuken: no instructions, did the ./filename.sh and it said: Permission denied
[14:57] <mrunagi> !vfat
[14:57] <KDB9000> Pizarro, sudo route default gw <gateway IP>  (without the <>)
[14:57] <opt1k> magnetron: actually i don't have it in internet.. and only thing i have is to share my desktop (and i don't want to do that)
[14:57] <xnv> artpoetryfiction: Did you do the chmod?
[14:57] <Kelderkeuken> artpoetryfiction: what xnv said, try to give it permission first with   chmod +x filename.sh
[14:57] <Pizarro> ok, thanks, 1 sec
[14:58] <g0g0r1n> hi .. i've upgraded from GUTSY to HARDY - now i'm experiencing network lagging
[14:58] <g0g0r1n> Even simple ssh session between 2 computers on the same LAN is lagging now
[14:58] <g0g0r1n> what can be the cause?
[14:58] <g0g0r1n> this is how the ping looks like:

[14:58] <vox> g0g0r1n: stop that
[14:58] <vox> g0g0r1n: use a pastebin.
[14:59] <Pizarro> KDB9000, that is not correct, my system shows me the route command help when I type: route default 192.168.1.1 (I am already under sudo su)

[15:00] <Pizarro> KDB9000, sorry when I type route default gw 192.168.1.1
[15:00] <bijoy> how do i connect thru a access concentrator after /sbin/pppoe -A

[15:00] <d8> hi all

[15:01] <KDB9000> Pizarro, hold on, i think i sent the wrong commands
[15:01] <Guest38588> I already did that
[15:01] <Guest38588> why is my name taken!?
[15:01] <KDB9000> Pizarro, now i know what the problem is. it is "route add default gw <IP>"
[15:01] <d8> i would to know if is possibile to install ubuntu on a dual boot system with winxp+solaris without overwrite windows installation
[15:02] <Pizarro> KDB9000, I'm going to try, 1 sec
[15:02] <hreno> i've read lots of times to download drivers here - http://tinyurl.com/6qoxt9 - but there is no drivers to download from here anymore
[15:02] <d8> can anyone help me?

[15:03] <mrunagi> !dual-boot
[15:03] <blak> i have removed the splash screen from boot, how do i remove the splash screen from shutdown as well?
[15:03] <mrunagi> there was some tutorial d8 explaining how to do it
[15:03] <hreno> so, any other way to make ethernet drivers for P5Q work
[15:03] <xnv> Guest38588: /searchString
[15:03] <xnv> Guest38588: For me, /defunct gives you the answer
[15:04] <Guest38588> xnv, ok I did ? instead of /
[15:04] <artpoetryfiction> Damn... Java not found
[15:04] <blak> can someone help me please, this shouldn't be a hard question to answer
[15:04] <d8> thanks boys... tutorials tells how to make dual boot from a single boot windows system
[15:04] <blak> i just need to know where you edit to remove the splash from shutdown
[15:04] <Pizarro> KDB9000, nothing, I reatarted and nothing, "destination unrecheable" (my router)
[15:05] <blak> i want to see the actualy shuttdown text not a splash screen
[15:05] <d8> my system is already dual-boot
[15:05] <Pizarro> I have never ever found this stupid thing (connect to the local network) as deficult as this time with Ubuntu Server
[15:05] <d8> ubottu, mnuragi
[15:05] <KDB9000> Pizarro, hmm. what does the ip link say in ifconfig?
[15:05] <stefo> irc://irc.darkartika.net/infinity
[15:06] <artpoetryfiction> gzip: jre.tar.gz: invalid compressed data--crc error

[15:06] <artpoetryfiction> tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
[15:06] <KDB9000> Pizarro, I mean the ip line, were it says the ip, mask, and broadcast?
[15:06] <bijoy> how do i connect thru a access concentrator after /sbin/pppoe -A
[15:06] <bijoy> any1..?
[15:07] <Pizarro> KDB9000, ip:192.168.1.2, broadcast:192.168.1.255 mask:255.255.255.0
[15:07] <blak> anyone can help please?
[15:08] <KDB9000> Pizarro, ok, i was just checking. I know with the desktop version, the network manager messes it up when you set the static. sorry, but without being there, i am out of ideas on what it could be.
[15:08] <blak> kdb9000 do you know where i edit something to remove the splash screen from shutdown? i know where the startup one is but no the shutdown
[15:08] <KDB9000> Pizarro, this might seem like a dumb question, but have to ask. do you know if 192.168.1.2 is open?
[15:09] <KDB9000> blak, sorry but I don't know. never tried to remove the splash screen for shutdown.
[15:09] <Pizarro> KDB9000, no problem, I have been on this since today morning, I can't spend more time on this, I am sorry, but I think this is a crap, since it supossed to be STABLE (server) and it is not, it doesn't work in the same hardware configuration where others distros (linux) work, and the worst thing is that ALL seems to be ok, no ERROR messages, nothing, I don't trust on this as server, I am sorry.
[15:10] <tckb> somebody help me plz icannt login to ubuntu
[15:10] <blak> this is the most useless support channel
[15:10] <Pizarro> KDB9000, when I said "this is a crap" I was talking about the Ubuntu Server distro, you helped me so much, thanks
[15:10] <wineo> blak: then go start your own, more efficient channel
[15:11]  * scampbell waves goodbye to blak and locks the door behind him.
[15:11] <KDB9000> Pizarro, I understand. but like i asked and knew it was stupid, but is 192.168.1.2 open?
[15:11] <Pizarro> KDB9000, what do you mean with "open"? (port?)
[15:11] <Pizarro> KDB9000, remember that even the DHCP wasn't working
[15:12] <KDB9000> Pizarro, no other system has the IP address
[15:12] <Pizarro> KDB9000, no since from my desktop computer (this) I perform a ping 192.168.1.2 and no pong
[15:13] <darren__> Hi can some please help i have just finished two fresh installs of ubuntu one on my laptop and one on my desktop,but on my lap top it does not show the usb wireless, can some one please help
[15:13] <Pizarro> KDB9000, wait!!!! WTH!!!!!! I have PONG from 192.168.1.2
[15:13] <KDB9000> Pizarro, you need to be careful, we had a problem because we use an IP address that didn't return a ping, and it was in use
[15:13] <xnv> wineo: He's right, though. Some of us are pretty bad at not Googling other people's questions for them. His answer is pretty easy to find.
[15:13] <Pizarro> KDB9000, I got pong from that f&%&$%& ip!
[15:14] <Pizarro> KDB9000, but no computer is connected ther
[15:14] <obitori> I'm trying to figure out the name of the VNC server installed in Ubuntu by default.  I've tried googling vinagre, the client, and ps ax with various greps.  no luck.  anybody know?
[15:14] <nateeeee> fresh noob. installed ubuntu setup for dual-boot. set dns, (addy's from auto.aquire and openDNS) tried with and with out static ip... not sure why i have no net in ubuntu, works fine here. same system btw
[15:14] <darren__>  Hi can some please help i have just finished two fresh installs of ubuntu one on my laptop and one on my desktop,but on my lap top it does not show the usb wireless, can some one please help
[15:14] <KDB9000> Pizarro, see why you need to be careful. lol. ping isn't the best way to find an IP. do you know what range your DHCP uses?
[15:14] <xnv> obitori: vino
[15:15] <Pizarro> KDB9000, from 10..to 40
[15:15] <Pizarro> from 2 to 10 static
[15:15] <slum> Драсте, здесь первый раз, Здесь кто нить на русском разговаривает?
[15:15] <tckb> english plz
[15:15] <xnv> !ru
[15:15] <Pizarro> KDB9000, something is connected to 192.168.1.2!!!! and I don't know what the hell is
[15:15] <obitori> xnv:  Thanks!
[15:15] <KDB9000> Pizarro, thats not goo
[15:16] <gkirk> hi. I noticed for the first time this morning my Ubuntu slice does not have a working swap partition, and this appears to have been a problem since upgrading to edgy
[15:16] <KDB9000> Pizarro, I would say try using a high number, say 125 or something. but you also need to find the rouge 2
[15:16] <gkirk> looking at fdisk -l it shows both partitions do not have a valid partition table
[15:16] <nateeeee> ubottu: english?
[15:16] <gkirk> one being swap
[15:16] <Pizarro> KDB9000 just a sec I find out
[15:17] <nateeeee> ubottu - http://babelfish.yahoo.com/
[15:17] <nateeeee> :)
[15:17] <nateeeee> ubotto: drugs are bad
[15:18] <nateeeee> ubottu: drugs are bad
[15:18] <nateeeee> definately a bot :P
[15:18] <mheath>  nateeeee: ubottu IS only a bot. The message you saw in Russian was a canned message intend to inform another (rusian speaking) user of the correct Ubuntu support channel for speaking Russian.
[15:18] <OsamaK> Hello! I installed ubuntustudio recently, but I had some problems. Now I cannot install\uninstall any package because of this problem: E: timidity: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1E: ubuntustudio-audio: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
[15:18] <nateeeee> i understand. i have no intention of wasting my time messing with him :P
[15:18] <cdh_phoenix> hey can someone help me with setting up a ad-hoc wlan  connection to a vista notebook?
[15:19] <nateeeee> oh, didn't knwo it was a suported bot though
[15:19] <nateeeee> any ways, i have no internet in my dual-boot ubuntu.
[15:19] <OsamaK> How to fix unconfiguring problem..
[15:19] <nateeeee> set dns, static ip. (dns addy's are from openDNS and from the auto.aquire dns settings)
[15:20] <KDB9000> Pizarro, any luck?
[15:20] <mheath> cdh_phoenix: You should just have to setup the connection in Vista, and then connect with the Network Manager in Ubuntu. In Ubuntu, you'll have to manually specify the network name as ad hoc SSID's aren't broadcast  by Vista.
[15:20] <nateeeee> haven't done any thing AT ALL beyond installing and setting those
[15:20] <opt1k> can anyone help me out with vnc? i'm completely lost, how do i connect to a friends computer?
[15:20] <mheath> nateeeee: does "ifconfig
[15:20] <Pizarro> KDB9000, i changed the ip for Ubnutu to 192.168.1.3 and still no ping, however I still don't know who is the 192.168.1.2 a colleague of me will find out
[15:20] <mheath> nateeeee: does "ifconfig" report the correct information for the device?
[15:21] <cdh_phoenix> mheath: no, I tried this already, but it stops when it says requesting network address
[15:21] <KDB9000> Pizarro, I see.
[15:21] <opt1k> i have installed tightvncserver & xvncviewer
[15:21] <nateeeee> mheath: ... don't know. i'm a really fresh noob
[15:21] <nateeeee> getting into linux for the adventure of it. hence, the dual boot lol
[15:21] <Pizarro> KDB9000, now x.x.x.3 is free, but I still don't get any PING,
[15:21] <mheath> nateeeee: is this a wired or wireless connection?
[15:22] <nateeeee> mheath: wired.
[15:22] <Reinier84> wow, crowded channel
[15:22] <Reinier84> hi guys
[15:22] <Pizarro> KDB9000, however the DHCP should worked during the installation, didn't it?
[15:22] <cdh_phoenix> mheath:  could network manager 0.7 be the cause of the problem?
[15:22] <zoed> !hi | Reinier84
[15:22] <maszlo> Does anyone here have any recommendations for a UPS to use for a ubuntu server?
[15:22] <nateeeee> mheath: i assume i don't have to install drivers for my system as i would for windows, correct?
[15:22] <tavi_> hy
[15:23] <KDB9000> Pizarro, it should, unless you are out of address in the DHCP range
[15:23] <zoed> !hi | tavi_
[15:23] <tavi_> con soemone tell me how to upgrade beryl compiz?
[15:23] <Pizarro> KDB9000, well we have here from 10 to 40, and only 3 computer on DHCP...so..
[15:23] <Pizarro> I give UP!!!, sorry for Ubunutu, I move to Debian
[15:24] <opt1k> lol
[15:24] <nateeeee> heheh
[15:24] <dashnu> Is cairo-dock in intrepid ready to rock ?? I dont see the cairo-dock-plugins!
[15:24] <opt1k> can anyone help me out with vnc? i'm completely lost, how do i connect to a friends computer?
[15:24] <KDB9000> Pizarro, I see. well it should work, why it doesn't i don't know. sorry
[15:24] <Reinier84> any chance someone can answer this for me (learning stuff as I go and I'm stuck on this one); I registered a domain name, I added it as the reverse DNS thingy to my VPS' IP address. when I traceroute my VPS' IP-address it resolves to mydomainname.com but when I go to my domainname I'm not getting anywhere. Anyone that can point me in the right direction to look for the error?
[15:24] <Reinier84> (running ubuntu server btw...home this is the right channel :x)
[15:24] <marlun> Any tips on how  I could copy everything on my harddive (from the root) to a file or folder? I've tried "tar zcfv backup.tar.gz /" but end up with the error "Error exit delayed from previous errors". I've also tried "scp -r / root@xxx:/path/" but that copied the same files serveral times (symlins?). Any tips?
[15:25] <nateeeee> mheath: could we continue this in a msg after i go grab mirc. it'll make it easer for me to refill my coffee as needed
[15:25] <skysbird> hi
[15:25] <mheath> marlun: hold on a second, I'm going to grab a URL to show you
[15:25] <dashnu> marlun: cp -r
[15:25] <skysbird> hello
[15:25] <skysbird> i've a question
[15:25] <skysbird> good night every body
[15:25] <skysbird> some one free to help me??
[15:25] <maszlo> Reinier84: when you ping the domain does it resolve correctly?
[15:25] <cdh_phoenix> does anyone know why I cant connect to windows adhoc wlan with my ubuntu system?
[15:26] <Dabbu> can anybody tell me about abrowser
[15:26] <skysbird> i've update the libsvn-java from 1.4.6 to 1.5.1
[15:26] <skysbird> but after that
[15:26] <nateeeee> mheath: if not, then i won't bother downloading an irc client as i would RARELY use it.
[15:26] <skysbird> i cannot use subclipse in eclipse
[15:26] <Reinier84> maszlo can't resolve hostname
[15:26] <tavi_> hei i need the line for software sources for upgrading compiz
[15:26] <skysbird> can somebody help me??
[15:26] <maszlo> what host are you using for your domain?
[15:27] <nateeeee> *sigh* i think i've been abandond
[15:27] <Reinier84> call me dumb but... you mean the hosting party where I rent my Virtual server?
[15:27] <skysbird> hi??
[15:27] <nateeeee> just as my sense of propuer spelling as abandoned me lol
[15:27] <marlun> dashnu: how does it differ from scp? (except the sending it to another computer part)
[15:27] <marlun> mheath: ok :)
[15:27] <Dabbu> !abrowser
[15:28] <maszlo> Reinier84: maybe I read the question wrong.. setting up a registerd domain to a local computer?
[15:28] <mheath> marlun: I can't find a good link right off, but basically you need to make sure you're not including the tar file in the backup (with your tar command) or it becomes recursive
[15:28] <nateeeee> :)
[15:28] <dashnu> im sure cp handles things differently... anyways you are probably geting those tar errors due to /proc dir and what not
[15:28] <mheath> marlun: That is, if your working directory is /, and you create mybackup.tar.gz there and tell tar to include 'everything in /', it will try to include the bits of mybackup.tar.gz it's created so far, and errors because that becomes and endless loop.
[15:29] <dashnu> look at tar man and search for exclude
[15:29] <skysbird> somebody know my problem??
[15:29] <tavi_> hello????????????////
[15:29] <mheath> marlun: that and, there are lots of files unnecessary for a backup. You don't need anything in /proc and generally you don't need anything in /dev.
[15:29] <nateeeee> *sigh*
[15:30] <mheath> marlun: the 'correct' way would to do a space-seperated list of all the folders in / you want to backup. So, at the end of the tar command, rather than doing just "/", do something like "/home /usr /etc"
[15:30] <YEM> hello
[15:30] <Reinier84> maszlo: no it's all 'on the www' so to speak. I have a VPS with 1 IP address, and a registered .com domainname. I set the domainname as the DNS-reverse thingy to that IP address. When I traceroute www.domain.com it says "unknown host" when I traceroute the VPS IP-address it hops around and resolves to www.domain.com. makes sense?
[15:30] <Pizarro> KDB9000, this is frustraiting!, even with debian I have the same issue. At the very begining during the installation the DHC fails with BOTH CARDS (VIA and Realtek9!!!
[15:30] <Pizarro> KDB9000, Is there any comptability issue between Debian and these devices?
[15:30] <Slart> Has there been a kernel update or something because compiz won't start for me..
[15:30] <YEM> So i've been interested in installing unbuntu for a long time but still have a few questions before i go ahead with it, would anyone be so kind as to PM me and field a few?
[15:31] <nateeeee> mheath: ????
[15:31] <mheath> marlun: your other option for a bit-by-bit filesystem backup is a command like "dd if=/dev/sda1 of=/root/filesystem.img". Obviously, you replace "sda1" with the correct designator for your hard disk. But, this creates a complete backup image of your filesystem.
[15:31] <Slart> YEM: I won't pm you to answer your questions.. but if you ask them in here I will be happy to try to answer them
[15:31] <maszlo> Reinier84: I think you may need to set your A record
[15:31] <KDB9000> Pizarro, hmm. interesting, well that means it isn't ubuntu's problem. shouldn't be. I am running ubuntu 8.04 on my laptop and it has a realtek nic and it works
[15:31] <YEM> ok thx
[15:32] <YEM> I want to install it on the desktop i built last year, I was told i'd have to hunt down drivers for all my parts espcially since it is a bit of a popurie of vendors
[15:32] <YEM> is this the case?
[15:32] <mheath> YEM: That depends entirely on the hardware you have.
[15:32] <KDB9000> Pizarro, not to make it sound like you don't know anything, but is the network all hooked up right? all the lights on the nic and router on and/or flashing?
[15:32] <marlun> mheath: ah, that could work, but how would I extract it later from the .img file? Or do I put it on a DVD disc?
[15:32] <Reinier84> thx maszlo, one last thing... do I set that somewhere in Ubuntu or somewhere else?
[15:32] <Slart> YEM: I would say you have to hunt drivers more on a windows box.. ubuntu comes with an awful lot of drivers out of the box..
[15:32] <darren_> Hi can some one please help i have tryed many things but can not get it to work  so i have just finished to clean installs of ubuntu, when i start my desktop with my wifi it shows up but when i start my laptop with the same usb wifi it does not show does any one know what it could be
[15:32] <leeping2008> mheath, will the "dd" command read the bytes that it writes?  i.e. it's reading from the root filesystem, but the file that it's writing to is also on the root filesystem...
[15:33] <Slart> YEM: there are a few you might want to install separately.. graphics drivers is one such thing
[15:33] <leeping2008> marlun, the idea is "cat filesystem.img > /dev/sda1"
[15:33] <leeping2008> that does a direct write to your hard drive .. if you use "netcat" instead then you can do a clone over the network.k
[15:33] <YEM> Would i be getting these drivers from the unbuntu site or various vendor sites?
[15:33] <nateeeee> mheath: what happend man. you were asking me questions then i gave answers... then you stopped :(. i'm confused
[15:33] <yates> i'm having trouble configuring the synaptics touchpad driver with gsynaptics. "GSynaptics couldn't initialize. You have to set 'SHMConfig 'true' in xorg.conf or XF86Config to use GSynaptics" and I have
[15:33] <maszlo> Reinier84: the A record is the name to ip entry that is set at the registar of the domain.. would not be set locally on the pc.. it is what resolves the domain to the ip
[15:34] <Slart> YEM: some things to consider though.. soundblaster x-fi is a pain in the behind on linux, so are weird things like unusual scanners, software modems, fakeraid cards and such
[15:34] <Slart> YEM: if it's available and good you can get it from the repositories.. ie the same place you install other programs from
[15:34] <Reinier84> maszlo: thank you, forgive my ignorance please :)
[15:34] <marlun> argh.. I'll just buy a new harddrive :P
[15:34] <yates> and i've rebooted too
[15:34] <KDB9000> Pizarro, sorry, but I am taking a lunch break, will be back later.
[15:34] <maszlo> Reinier84: no problem.. gota start somewhere
[15:35] <darren_> Hi can some one please help i have tryed many things but can not get it to work so i have just finished to clean installs of ubuntu. when i start my desktop with my wifi it shows up but when i start my laptop with the same usb wifi it does not show up, please if any one knows about this stuff please help
[15:35] <Reinier84> yea but I always start at the deepest end of the pool, haha
[15:35] <Pizarro> KDB9000, the cabling is ok, because I just uplagged a computer wich is owrking fine, and I replaced it by the ubunut server..
[15:35] <mheath> marlun: leeping2008 brought up a good point in that your destination should really be somewhere other than a spot on the partition you're backing up, or it gets recursive again.
[15:35] <maszlo> Reinier84: yeah I do the same thing haha
[15:36] <mheath> marlun: to restore directly, though (that is, make the hard drive just like it was) you'd just reverse those commands, though: dd if=/root/filesystem.img of=/dev/sda1"
[15:36] <YEM> my desktop has pretty standard hardwar, SATA HD's, intel processor, Geforce 8800. The only thing that might be a problem is the Motherboard because it's ABIT
[15:36] <yates> !gsynaptics
[15:36] <YEM> Think i should just install it and see what drivers i need from there
[15:36] <yates> !synaptics
[15:36] <marlun> yeah, thats why I would have liked a scp way of doing it, just copying it to the other computer.
[15:36] <tavi_> hello?????????? someone help me
[15:36] <mheath> marlun: Or, to get just a few files from the backup, you can do whats called loopback mounting.
[15:36] <marlun> well mostly I just want to be able to access the files if I've forgot something.
[15:36] <nateeeee> yea, never mind man. guess im not really here then
[15:37] <nateeeee> :)
[15:37] <mheath> marlun: 'loopback' mounting basically pretends like a file on your hard drive (or network, if you're using scp) is a device that can be mounted just like a hard drive device can.
[15:39] <marlun> mheath: thanks for all the information will try some more when I get home.
[15:39] <mheath> marlun: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem is incomplete but provides some good info, too
[15:39] <mheath> marlun: glad to help.
[15:39] <Reinier84> maszlo: woohoo it works (apparently i already fixed it but that A-record thing wasnt done by my host or something)

[16:25] <javierg> Instead of going to places, home folder, and clicking on the folder I made "Downloads" Is there a way to link that folder "downloads" to the places list menu??
[16:25] <MessWithTheBest-> xnv: is it a separate software or is it a firefox plugin?
[16:25] <Kxx> javierg: add a bookmark for that location ?
[16:25] <jim_p> javierg: gnome? I think you can add it to nautilus's bookmarks
[16:25] <acrousey> my friend has an ATI usb pvr, but it was not working for him, so I want to see if it can work on my ubuntu/mythbuntu computer. Which way should i go with this? I don't have a TV card on my computer: I was just thinking that this may act as one, but it is not. Does anyone know how I can get this working?
[16:25] <xnv> MessWithTheBest-: It's separate software, but it's compatible with Firefox. I'd be surprised if "tor firefox ubuntu" doesn't give you a guide.
[16:26] <ganes1> Kxx:i hav only one profile...even i can hear the login sound..i can log in through gnome failsafe
[16:26] <xnv> MessWithTheBest-: ...when doing a Google search.
[16:26] <javierg> jim_p, how would I do that?
[16:26] <jim_p> open a nautilus window
[16:26] <javierg> jim_p, googling now :-p
[16:26] <jim_p> e.g. home
[16:27] <Kxx> ganes1: It could be some problem with your profile or could be a system wide problem. try creating a dummy profile, If that logins fine then problem is with your profile ..
[16:27] <MessWithTheBest-> xnv: cool it's in the repos!
[16:27] <ganes1> Kxx:ya i ll try...
[16:28] <Timsen> hi, is there a command to list the status of the power supply? for example if a machine has a dual power supply..
[16:29] <ikonia> Timsen: thats normally hardware tools
[16:29] <naruto_pr0> can i run compiz fusion with i810
[16:29] <jim_p> Timsen: there is powertop, but i dont know ifit does what you want
[16:29] <xnv> MessWithTheBest-: FYI, there's a good chance they'll try to block Tor too. It's not that hard and it's well-known software.
[16:29] <ikonia> naruto_pr0: intel is a better driver
[16:29] <Kxx> Timsen: acpi -V ?
[16:30] <MessWithTheBest-> xnv: no i remembered that my friend used a tool called Tor, i think it works
[16:30] <xnv> MessWithTheBest-: OK, good luck then.
[16:31] <Kxx> MessWithTheBest-: after installing you will have to enable your browser to go through Tor by manually specifying tor as proxy ..
[16:33] <naruto_pr0> ikonia: yeah.. but i read some where that compiz is not combatible with i810
[16:33] <Timsen> thank you Kxx and jim_p - acpi seams to have a problem with the board
[16:33] <Robertico> ALguien que hable español?

[16:34] <Robertico> thanks!
[16:34] <maflurion> even I understood that spanish
[16:34] <ikonia> naruto_pr0: thats not true, just the intel driver is mostly a more advanced driver

[16:40] <cdh_phoenix> could some one help me? I want to connect to a (vista) ad-hoc wlan, I can see it but not join
[16:40] <bijoy> how do i connect thru a access concentrator after pppoe- A
[16:40] <darren_> hi every body could some one let me know how to find the details of my built in wireless to black list it thanks
[16:40] <ikonia> cdh_phoenix: what encyption is it using, and what card / driver have you got
[16:41] <craigbass1976> Anyone running postgres 8.3?  I've just set it up and can't get in.  I didn't think user postgres had a pass by default
[16:41] <cdh_phoenix>  ikonia: no encryption, I have got a linksys wusb54gc adapter, i think it is using wrt54g i think
[16:41] <ganes1> ikonia:gnome is crashing...i can only log in through gnome failsafe..in other accounts it comes back to login screen..can you help?
[16:41] <scampbell> craigbass:  sudo su - postgres
[16:42] <ikonia> cdh_phoenix: so what happens when you try to join the wlan
[16:42] <scampbell> cragbass: then you can do createuser to create your postgres user
[16:42] <ikonia> ganes1: sure, login failsafe, and look in /var/log at the gdm logs, see what it's moaning about
[16:42] <bijoy> how do i connect thru a access concentrator after pppoe- A
[16:42] <craigbass1976> Aint that bright....
[16:42] <craigbass1976> scampbell: thanks
[16:43] <ikonia> bijoy: it will depend on the concentrators config
[16:43] <cdh_phoenix> ikonia: it searches(attempting to join the wlan network) and then it says its waiting for ip, then disconnects
[16:43] <ikonia> cdh_phoenix: ahhh, so it could be connecting to the wlan - but the dhcp server is not responding, what is the dhcp server on the network?
[16:43] <cdh_phoenix> ikonia: its an ad-hoc
[16:43] <ikonia> cdh_phoenix: whats an ad-hoc ?
[16:44] <scampbell> cragbass1976: also, you'll need the createuser <user> to be the same as your unix userid.  If not then you need to change the pg_hba.conf file.
[16:44] <cdh_phoenix> ikonia: standard vista ad-hoc mode
[16:44] <cdh_phoenix> ikonia: it means no router
[16:44] <ikonia> cdh_phoenix: no - whats the dhcp server on your network
[16:44] <scampbell> er, craigbass1976 that is (hopefully your irc just lit up)
[16:44] <cdh_phoenix> ikonia: just two notebooks
[16:45] <ikonia> cdh_phoenix: so thats why it's not working- there is no dhcp server
[16:45] <ikonia> cdh_phoenix: assign an ip address to your network card, then connect
[16:45] <ikonia> cdh_phoenix: make sure its the same ip range as the vista box
[16:45] <xmagixx> can growisofs auto eject after burn ? or auto mount the disc after burn ?
[16:45] <ikonia> xmagixx: I don't think so
[16:45] <craigbass1976> scampbell: is postgres much of a switch my mysql?  I'm very savvy with that.  Query language should be the same, right?  Just some other commands that are different?
[16:45] <andyho623> hello y'all :)
[16:45] <ikonia> hi andyho623
[16:45] <cdh_phoenix> ikonia: I already tried to manually set it, but then it says connected(0% signal)
[16:46] <ikonia> cdh_phoenix: did you set the right IP ?
[16:46] <scampbell> craigbass1976: yeah, the sql is the same.  The extensions differ, pgsql can do more in my opinion but I'm admittedly biased towards pgsql.  Especially the inet and cidr data types are really usefull to me.
[16:46] <andyho623> just had a quick ? for those using Skype.. do you use the native version or run it thru Wine? I can't find anywhere within the native version to set up a chat
[16:46] <cdh_phoenix> ikonia: i think so, same subnet as the vista one
[16:46] <scampbell> craigbass1976: but there's always learning curve, no avoiding that.
[16:46] <ikonia> cdh_phoenix: that should work then, looks like your connected ok
[16:47] <zibri> curious, why was the package xfonts-artwiz removed in repos in the upgrade 7.10->8.04?
[16:47] <cdh_phoenix> ikonia: no I have no connection -> ping doesn't work, every other thing doesnt work either
[16:47] <ganes1> ikonia:but i didn't understand anything in those log files..shall i pastebin?there are 0.log to o.log4 and 20.log to 20.log4
[16:48] <ikonia> cdh_phoenix: what did you set the default gateway as ?
[16:48] <ikonia> ganes1: just the 0.log
[16:48] <cdh_phoenix> ikonia: its still default
[16:48] <ikonia> cdh_phoenix: thats not an address
[16:48] <ikonia> cdh_phoenix: you need to set a gateway address
[16:48] <DDT> Привет ВсеМ !!!

[16:49] <bijoy> ?
[16:49] <DDT> ! ru
[16:49] <cdh_phoenix> ikonia: should that be IP of the vista notebook?
[16:49] <ikonia> bijoy: contact your ISP
[16:49] <ikonia> ChaoticGood: no
[16:49] <ikonia> oops
[16:49] <ikonia> cdh_phoenix: no

[16:51] <erUSUL> Andeh: not usre in what of the gstreamer bundles it comes
[16:51] <bobertdos> cdh_phoenix: Are you trying to share an internet connection through multiple adapters or something? I wasn't here when you were explaining your setup to ikonia.

[17:06] <KDB9000> anyone know how to tie the gnome "connect to server" with ssh keys for a server?
[17:06] <ikonia> KDB9000: I don't know if thats possible, you may be able to do it with pam, but I doubt it as key is host related
[17:07] <KDB9000> ikonia, I have keys on my server, but th only way i can connect (ssh, scp, or sftp) is if I use the keys.
[17:07] <ganes1> ﻿ikonia:http://paste.ubuntu.com/47170/
[17:08] <ikonia> KDB9000: yes, thats right
[17:08] <ikonia> KDB9000: but you want gnome login to work on keys
[17:08] <tengulre> what's wrong ? protocol 0003 is buggy
[17:08] <ikonia> ganes1: that looks like a driver issue
[17:08] <ikonia> ganes1: thats futher backed up by the fact it works in failsafe mode
[17:08] <iOpera> KDB9000: sshfs is good idea.
[17:09] <lymeca> I installed hardy heron on a black MacBook and the install went great and did not complain.  However when I boot up from the HDD it shows a folder with a question mark.

[17:09] <ikonia> OsamaK: how are you trying to install ?
[17:09] <KDB9000> iOpera, is there a gui to sshfs or is it all terminal?
[17:09] <ikonia> ganes1: doubt it
[17:09] <KDB9000> ikonia, not gnome login, but the server connect system that comes with gnome. it is under places.
[17:10] <iOpera> KDB9000: very simple usage. just see manpage
[17:10] <ikonia> KDB9000: ooooh I see, sorry, I missunderstood
[17:10] <DannyKing> All of a sudden, whenever I press tab when Terminal (gnome) is in focus my X server restarts! What keeps happening? I've had this install for half a year without this problem
[17:10] <ganes1> ikonia: what may be the solution then?
[17:10] <ikonia> ganes1: log a bug to ati
[17:11] <KDB9000> ikonia, that si alright
[17:11] <ickmund> Having some major problems with GRUB / raid0 (software raid, not fakeraid) on hardy. GRUB gives an error 17. In my mind I've tried *everything*, but since I don't know linux that well, I'm pretty sure I'm missing something basic? Full description with fdisk, menu.lst and fstab here: paste.ubuntu.com/47175/
[17:11] <torbjorn_> Any1 here a master of Ubuntu? Could use some help
[17:11] <KDB9000> iOpera, is there something with a file manager or a gui of some kind?
[17:11] <ikonia> ickmund: is your /boot on a seperate partition / raid set ?
[17:11] <OsamaK> ikonia: Actually, I tried to install ubuntustudio; everything was OK, but ubuntustudio-audio packages, which wasn't setup-ed well..
[17:11] <ickmund> ikonia: /boot is seperate from the raids, yea
[17:11] <ganes1> ikonia: it was working till yesterday...is there any way that i can fix it now?
[17:12] <iOpera> KDB9000: no gui need. just like mount another disk.
[17:12] <miac> I need help with my wifi.  I have tried the restricted drivers, which did not work.  I tried madwifi, which did not work.  I tried ndiswrapper, which did not work.  I have an Atheros ar5700eg chip.

[17:12] <enl810d> elinks
[17:12] <enl810d> sorry my bad
[17:12] <ikonia> OsamaK: thats not what I asked, I asked you where trying to install the software
[17:12] <torbjorn_>  Is there a way reach the files on the windows partition from ubuntu?
[17:12] <ikonia> torbjorn_: mount them with the ntfs driver
[17:12] <ganes1>  ikonia: ok  thanx...
[17:13] <iOpera> sshfs xxx@192.168.18.3:/home/xxx ~/fuse-mnt/ KDB9000

[17:14] <OsamaK> ikonia: trying to remove kde packages
[17:14] <ickmund> ikonia: So if I do have /boot on a separate partition and it still dosen't work, I'm out of luck? :)
[17:14] <Andeh> ﻿i just ripped 2 CDs using Soundjuicer and the mp3s seem to be 128kbps and i'm pretty sure it says vbr-quality=6 in the GStreamer Pipeline
[17:14] <ikonia> OsamaK: I'll ask you again, how are you trying to install/remove
[17:14] <KDB9000> iOpera, so were do my ssh keys fit in that command?
[17:14] <ikonia> ickmund: not at all
[17:15] <OsamaK> ikonia: lol, using command line :)
[17:15] <OsamaK> ikonia: In GUI the problem is: E: ubuntustudio-audio: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
[17:15] <ikonia> ickmund: check what the initrd module contains in terms of raid, not sure it contains raid 0
[17:15] <torbjorn_> I can see the windows-partition on my ubuntu desktop, and look around in the folders, but I cant see any files in the folders
[17:15] <ikonia> OsamaK: what command are you using ?
[17:16] <OsamaK> ikonia: http://paste.ubuntu.com/47177/
[17:16] <iOpera> KDB9000: just, cat id_rsa.pub >>.ssh/authorized_keys
[17:16] <ikonia> OsamaK: you made a typo
[17:16] <iOpera> or use seahorse. a gui soft
[17:16] <ikonia> adept- manager
[17:16] <ikonia> it should be adept-manager
[17:17] <bobertdos> I get asked this question a lot and I need a better answer for it. How does one determine which driver a certain device is using. I'd assume using some form of modprobe.

[17:36] <iOpera> pgrep nm-applet. Nutzebahn see if some results here
[17:36] <dinesh_> anusein : what is the size of the file i managed to download only 533 bytes
[17:36] <iOpera> unavailable: oooo, that' greate
[17:37] <Anusien> dinesh_: I have no idea, but try turning your download manager off so you cna see what's going on
[17:37] <Nutzebahn> iOpera: It says 5647.
[17:37] <ganesh> linkslice:i hav two accounts..how can  i check which file is for which account?
[17:37] <iOpera> Nutzebahn: so it lauched. some icon may appeared on panel
[17:38] <linkslice> ganesh, none of those are for user accounts, they start at system bootup, even if no users are logged in
[17:38] <scribawf> Where can I get info on Linux networking - setup from sratch?
[17:38] <Nutzebahn> I don't see anything, iopera.
[17:38] <racle> any1?
[17:38] <iOpera> if you had installed pptp-linux, you might see "connect to VPN" when you right click the icon.
[17:39] <iOpera> ？
[17:39] <ganesh>  linkslice: problem is my gnome is getting crashed..but i can log in through failsafe
[17:39] <iOpera> you can make a screenshot? Nutzebahn
[17:40] <dooglus> ganesh: can you make a new user and log in as that user ok?
[17:40] <iOpera> http://paste.ubuntu.org.cn/9444 Nutzebahn like this?
[17:40] <dinesh_> anusein: plz tell me the size of the file
[17:40] <Anusien> dinesh_: Did that link not work for you?
[17:41] <Nutzebahn> iopera: Mine doesn't look like that.
[17:41] <Anusien> dinesh_: Also, I'd appreciate if you'd spell my name right, or at least use a modicum of grammar
[17:41] <iOpera> Nutzebahn: ..
[17:42] <iOpera> http://paste.ubuntu.org.cn/9445 this one . Nutzebahn
[17:42] <iOpera> not any icon like this at your panel?
[17:43] <Nutzebahn> No, I don't see that.
[17:44] <recon69> just tried to install system updates, now the update manager is stuck installing them, should I restart my computer and try again?
[17:44] <dinesh_> anusien : the name is not problem i am asking about the size of the file
[17:44] <iOpera> Nutzebahn: so strange. but pgrep shows this thread.
[17:44] <Nutzebahn> :(
[17:45] <dinesh_> anusien:
[17:45] <danbh_intrepid> recon69: not sure, it depends on the update.  If its critical, dont restart.  You can just restart the update manager
[17:46] <finalbeta_> I'm taking the LPI exams, the first ones. Looking for a good book, more elaborated that "Linux in a nutshell" from Oreily.
[17:48] <ganesh>  dooglus:it used to come back to login screen....i deleted .gnome,.gnome2,..files..now i can seee only a white screen but its not coming back to login screen
[17:48] <Tarandus> what was the simple way to get Skype working on Hardy?
[17:49] <filtermonster> TEST5NG BR6WSER
[17:49] <danbh_intrepid> Tarandus: skype website I believe
[17:49] <tobias_> Dear ubuntu people, my one true love, banshee, has stopped working for me. When I launch it through the menu, nothing happens, same goes for terminal. I tried removing and installing it, even with --purge, but it does not work. What should I do?
[17:50] <Infinito-> tobias, even after rebooting ?
[17:50] <jim_p> tobias_: is there an error when you launch it from the terminal?
[17:50] <tobias_> Infinito-, how could rebooting help?
[17:50] <tobias_> jim_p, no, no output at all
[17:51] <jim_p> :(
[17:51] <iOpera> tobias: segment fault?
[17:51] <Tarandus> danbh_intrepid: there's nothing helpful on Skype's site
[17:51] <Infinito-> sometimes my gnome have some weird behaviours that simply vanish once I turn the computer off and on again the next day...
[17:51] <jim_p> Tarandus: download the .deb from skype's site
[17:51] <artti> I'm trying to install proper ATI drivers but nothing seems to help.
[17:51] <tobias_> iOpera, no, it just sits there, without bash prompting me for the next line
[17:51] <danbh_intrepid> !medibuntu | Tarandus  maybe its this?
[17:51] <jim_p> artti: how do you install them?
[17:52] <iOpera> tobias: gdb bansee
[17:52] <tobias_> Infinito-, well, I'll try if there are no other idea
[17:52] <iOpera> excute like this.
[17:52] <tobias_> *ideas
[17:52] <artti> jim_p, i downloaded fromati homepage.
[17:52] <Tarandus> danbh_intrepid: I mean, I already have Skype installed, but it gets nothing from my mic
[17:52] <Bliz1> how do i get my album art onto my ipod in linux?
[17:52] <Tarandus> danbh_intrepid: my mic works, because I can hear my own voice through the speakers
[17:53] <Scunizi> Bliz1: not sure but you might want to look at Sunbird by Mozilla
[17:53] <danbh_intrepid> Tarandus: try gstreamer-properties
[17:53] <Hex101> is there anyway i can see a log of what gparted is doing? its stuck doing ntfsresize :(
[17:53] <iOpera> Hex101: fdisk is also simple one. gparted is not so good.
[17:54] <Hex101> ah.
[17:54] <iOpera> some bugs here
[17:54] <Scunizi> Bliz1: sorry.. not Sunbird .. that's a calendering app.. but Mozilla has an audio app out that is "like" itunes
[17:54] <danbh_intrepid> Hex101: are you sure?  I've heard that resize can take a very very long time
[17:54] <Hex101> well i cant cancel it, i dont wanna reboot (will most probably wipe disk)
[17:54] <Hex101> oh
[17:54] <Hex101> typical :P
[17:54] <ganesh> dooglus:it used to come back to login screen....i deleted .gnome,.gnome2,..files..now i can seee only a white screen but its not coming back to login screen  linkslice:
[17:54] <Hex101> its a 120GB disk, so probs here for a long time much?
[17:55] <Hex101> i jsut wish it had a progress bar, so i canactually see its doing somthing
[17:55] <Bliz1> Scunizi: hmm.. reason i ask is i scored a 160gb ipod really cheap off newegg.
[17:55] <danbh_intrepid> Hex101: think hours mate.  Its gota move the data around and such.  Plus, gparted doesnt support ntfs natively.  I think it needs a plugin
[17:55] <Tarandus> danbh_intrepid: what should I do in gstreamer-properties?
[17:55] <Hex101> yea i installed plugin
[17:55] <Hex101> hours
[17:55] <tobias_> iOpera, no segfault
[17:55] <Hex101> time for a coffee me thinks
[17:55] <tobias_> Guess I'll try rebooting
[17:55] <danbh_intrepid> Tarandus: test the settings, make sure your input settings work
[17:56] <iOpera> tobias: of course not. otherwise, some lines would come out.
[17:56] <biouser> how to mount my other drive and then what file to make it automount?
[17:56] <linkslice> ganesh, can you pastebin you .xession-errors file?
[17:56] <Hex101> mount /dev/drive /media/drive
[17:56] <Scunizi> Bliz1: Songbird is the one I was thinking of.  http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=37&t=809265
[17:56] <Hex101> add that to your err
[17:56] <Hex101> sessions?
[17:56] <Hex101> i think
[17:57] <iOpera> tobias: if here some direcotry like ~/.bansee? just rename it.
[17:57] <Tarandus> danbh_intrepid: how do I know if an input setting works or not?
[17:57] <tobias_> iOpera, no directory like that
[17:58] <shafire> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rd2izv5JBcE&fmt=18
[17:58] <shafire> :D
[17:58] <iOpera> but some one maybe used by bansee under ~
[17:58] <tobias_> When I run it with mono --trace, it seems to hang in the dbus library, which is wierd because it never did that for me before
[17:58] <iOpera> or .config/bansee?
[17:58] <danbh_intrepid> Tarandus: you will here it over your speakers, when you click the test button
[17:58] <Tarandus> danbh_intrepid: when I press the "Test" button, there just runs a bit in a scrollbar... and no matter what I choose there, I can hear my voice through the speakers, but Skype can get nothing from the mic
[17:59] <lasjsdfs> hi, i'm having a problems with my touchpadh, it does not respond to the event click on it when i play
[17:59] <iOpera> or .gnome2/bansee
[17:59] <lasjsdfs> i'm using 8.10
[17:59] <tobias_> iOpera, nope :(
[17:59] <ganesh> linkslice:where will it be?/var/log/gdm?
[17:59] <danbh_intrepid> !intrepid > lasjsdfs
[18:00] <iOpera> locate -r '/home/xxyourname/.*bansee'
[18:00] <iOpera> i never use this soft. hehe
[18:01] <linkslice> ganesh, in your home directory
[18:01] <d0c5i5> i'm having some stability problems with bluetooth/obex transfers... after i start a transfer, it'll go for 3mb-6mb, then stops and becomes very unstable until i reboot the computer (not the phone i'm copying from)... any quick suggestions?
[18:01] <tobias_> iOpera, okay, I found some dirs, deleted them, no change
[18:01] <iOpera> rename
[18:01] <ganesh> linkslice: http://paste.ubuntu.com/47189/
[18:02] <tobias_> What's the difference?
[18:02] <iOpera> just clear your private config.
[18:02] <lasjsdfs> ubottu: thanks
[18:02] <iOpera> like the bansee is just installed. tobias
[18:04] <tobias_> iOpera, they popped up again, renamed them and no change
[18:04] <tobias_> I'll try rebooting nwo
[18:04] <iOpera> no
[18:04] <iOpera> reboot is no use
[18:04] <Marx> e ai galera
[18:04] <iOpera> not useful
[18:04] <ickmund> Ok... for all of you who've seen my cry about my software raid and grub today... turned out I still had an array defined in bios. Removed it, and everything worked. Only 8-some hours down the drain ;)
[18:04] <tobias_> iOpera, I'm that desperate :)
[18:05] <Hex101> ickmund its the feeling you have finally achived it, that is what makes my day ..or days
[18:05] <Scunizi> ickmund: I know where you'll check 1st next time :)
[18:05] <iOpera> tobias: if so, just use rythmbox
[18:05] <iOpera> or mpg321
[18:05] <iOpera> hehe
[18:05] <incorrect> can anyone suggest an alternative to minicom?
[18:06] <slayton> is anybody aware of a way to control exaile remotely?
[18:06] <iOpera> tobias: mocp maybe good for you .
[18:06] <theclaw> how do I 'lock' an package so that it doesn't get upgraded by aptitude?
[18:06] <tobias_> iOpera, that's a shame, I really liked banshee. Guess I'll settle with 0.13 for now then
[18:06] <RediXe> I have a custom application that I wrote, where would I put it so that I can just run "program name" instead of going to the directory and typing ./program name
[18:06] <iOpera> tobias_: maybe you had upgrade some library. so make this not work.
[18:07] <iOpera> but so strange. not any output ....
[18:07] <Hex101> RediXe: put in the /usr/bin folder
[18:07] <Hex101> i think
[18:07] <_Zeus_> RediXe: /usr/local/bin
[18:07] <Hex101> or /usr/sbin
[18:07] <mgolisch> or ~/bin
[18:07] <_Zeus_> not /usr/bin
[18:07] <Hex101> or that ;D
[18:07] <_Zeus_> put it in /usr/local/bin
[18:07] <RediXe> lol, thanks!
[18:07] <mgolisch> if its just fir you
[18:07] <ganesh>  linkslice:are you there?
[18:07] <tobias_> iOpera, exactly. Even compiling from svn doesnt work
[18:08] <HaZiLla> hi
[18:08] <_Zeus_> mgolisch: it doesn't matter who it's for
[18:08] <_Zeus_> everone can access it
[18:08] <iOpera> tobias_: if you are desperate one. just back your old status. downgrade your system.
[18:08] <RandyboY> How can i get my fingerprint reader working on my Aspire 6920 in Ubuntu? And the touchpad isnt working properly either...
[18:08] <tobias_> iOpera, you mean reinstall? That's a bridge too far :)
[18:09] <kanasnoop> tobias_, What version of banshee are you running?
[18:09] <iOpera> not reinstall all. according to your dpkg.log. you can use aptitude, to down all those version to your old time.
[18:09] <tobias_> kanasnoop, I wanted 1.2 from the ppa, but now I (temporarily) settled for 0.13 from the repos
[18:09] <iOpera> manual do it.
[18:10] <Stiggy> yay, finally on my 3rd try i gave up windoz for linux! ^^
[18:10] <iOpera> but it is hard work
[18:10] <_Zeus_> :D
[18:10] <kanasnoop> tobias_, Is .13 from the Hardy repos working for you?
[18:10] <tobias_> yay Stiggy :)
[18:10] <tobias_> kanasnoop, yes
[18:11] <tobias_> iOpera, i'll keep that in mind
[18:11] <Stiggy> i never felt like using it so it looked really hard but finally i gave it an unbiased start and its amazing how simple it is, if you have a lil bit of computer knowledge ^^
[18:11] <danbh_intrepid> Tarandus: ok, I just installed skype, had the same issues you were having.  I fixed it by opening the volume thingy, going to EVERY option, and unmuting EVERYTHING
[18:12] <bastid_raZor> theclaw; echo "<package_name> hold" | dpkg --set-selections
[18:12] <Stiggy> guys i just need some advice....whats the best MSN messenger counterpart for linux...
[18:12] <hever> Hi I'm logged in via XDMCP and can't change some settings like time or user permissions. There is a policy tool under system>Administration>"Policy tool" but I also can't alter settings there. Whats the name of this tool so that I can start it as root?
[18:12] <timsandtoms> How do I open split .rar archives on Ubuntu? I already have rar and unrar installed
[18:12] <SlimeyPete> just use unrar on the first file.
[18:12] <linkslice> ganesh, try removing the .compiz dir
[18:12] <_Zeus_> timsandtoms: if you have those packages installed, use file-roller
[18:12] <iOpera> timsandtoms: just..
[18:13] <SlimeyPete> unrar will automatically pick up the other files
[18:13] <_Zeus_> SlimeyPete: you don'y need to run unrar, just use file-roller
[18:13] <bastid_raZor> timsandtoms; unrar the actual .rar file and it will automatically unrar the rest to complete the file
[18:13] <Stiggy> i just need a name for the best MSN counterpart, i can figure out the rest :(
[18:13] <theclaw> bastid_raZor: thanks
[18:13] <hever> oh I got it
[18:14] <SlimeyPete> _Zeus_: I prefer unrar, personally, but yes file-roller will work too.
[18:14] <jorrit> I'm having troubles getting alsa midi to work on my Via8237 using Ubuntu 8.04 (alsa-base and alsa-utils installed). My /proc/asound/devices doesn't show anything that looks like midi
[18:14] <iOpera> Stiggy: emxxxse
[18:14] <Stiggy> alright, thanks iopera :D
[18:14] <iOpera> aptitude search ~dMSN. Stiggy
[18:14] <iOpera> but the name i forgetted
[18:14] <Scunizi> Stiggy: also aMSN
[18:14] <Stiggy> o0, i tried amsn but it used to crash my ubunto for some reason
[18:15] <_Zeus_> why not use pidgin
[18:15] <Stiggy> like id get a black screen then back to the login screen
[18:15] <_Zeus_> ?
[18:15] <jorrit> Stiggy, try Pidgin instead
[18:15] <Scunizi> Stiggy: how long ago was that?
[18:15] <Stiggy> last night
[18:15] <Stiggy> i used the package manager so it couldnt have been my fault
[18:15] <iOpera> emesene Stiggy
[18:15] <timsandtoms> bastid_raZor, that doesn't work :( I try to extract the file.part1.rar, and it just pops up asking for a password(There isn't one)
[18:16] <_Zeus_> there must be one
[18:16] <iOpera> amsn is also good
[18:16] <_Zeus_> try a blank password?
[18:16] <_Zeus_> pidgin is the way to go
[18:16] <Stiggy> k, ill try all of em out guys, thanks :D, now to run to my programming class T.T
[18:16] <bastid_raZor> timsandtoms; that is not unrar's fault. and it does work it is trying to extract it.
[18:16] <Stiggy> stupid C++ and whatnot <.<
[18:16] <RediXe> Well, now that I know where to put the file I can't get it to cp or mv. Permission Denied even with sudo.
[18:16] <iOpera> _Zeus_: many people not like MSN within pidgin.
[18:16] <malcolm_> hiya folks
[18:16] <Stiggy> thanks again <3
[18:16] <_Zeus_> hmm, well i guess if you only use msn you don't need pidgin
[18:17] <jorrit> hi malcolm
[18:17] <_Zeus_> but i use pidgin cause of the multi-protocol support
[18:17] <timsandtoms> bastid_raZor, hmm, weird. Must just be that file then, but I know it doesn't have a password on it.
[18:17] <iOpera> _Zeus_: not me. i use pidgin for MSN QQ fetion Gtalk IRC.
[18:17] <jorrit> Can anyone help me with misisng alsa midi devices?
[18:17] <ganesh> linkslice: din work...i can only seee a llank white screen

[18:18] <Tarandus> danbh_intrepid: I did that again, all settings are at full, unmuted and so on, but still Skype gets no sound from my mic, and still I can hear my voice through the speakers
[18:18] <ganesh> linkslice: (blank)
[18:18] <linkslice> ganesh, you get my last message?
[18:18] <linkslice> remove the .compiz dir or at least rename it
[18:18] <amz4f> hello all. i'm using hardy with an nVidia MCP51 hi def audio card, and am getting no sound at all. aplay -l finds it, and nothing is muted in alsamixer. any suggestions?
[18:19] <ganesh>  linkslice:deleting .compiz?
[18:19] <jorrit> I'll try alsa instead
[18:19] <linkslice> in your home dir there's a .compiz dir
[18:20] <ganesh> linkslice,ya i deleted it
[18:20] <xmagixx> trying to install my webcam Creative, is there anyway i can see if it's connected in ubuntu ? cheese can't see it and easycam
[18:20] <linkslice> no go still?
[18:20] <dendrofil> Hi, I cant manage to install ubuntu on one of my computers (It works fine on others), can it be any of my hardware ubuntu doesnt approve? Ive got an rather old AGP ATI card
[18:20] <_Zeus_> you can't install it?
[18:21] <_Zeus_> can you give some details?
[18:21] <danbh_intrepid> Tarandus: well, I dont think you want to here your voice over your speakers.
[18:21] <ganesh> linkslice,same thing...white screen,
[18:21] <Hex101> ohsnap
[18:21] <dendrofil> I choose to install it, then ubuntu starts loading, but after a waild I get tons of errors
[18:21] <Hex101> its now moving it all, and gives me a progress bar + time :D
[18:21] <jorrit> dendrofil: Try the vga=771 option in GRUB, that should start the installer in safe graphics mode
[18:21] <Hex101> only half a hour ;D
[18:21] <dendrofil> and finally I end up with a fullscreen terminal, ubuntu@ubuntu $
[18:22] <ganesh> linkslice,http://paste.ubuntu.com/47191/
[18:22] <dendrofil> jorrit, exactly how do I do that? =)
[18:22] <iOpera> mplayer tv:// -tv driver=v4l xmagixx. try this.
[18:22] <danbh_intrepid> Tarandus: I have SO many freaking options for my sound, this is ridiculous.  Where is the "just work" option?  Anyway, I don't think I can help ya man.  I still suspect that you should turn off the playing of your mic over your speakers, and get it to work with the test function of gstreamer-properties.  gl
[18:23] <iOpera> sleep now. ...

[18:25] <linduxed> what do i do if my brand new pendrive persists to have 64Mb used even after format?
[18:25] <g0tcha> hey guys, how can i make sure that i have "universe" sources added/selected using terminal?
[18:25] <Minty95> Hello, I need to share a folder linux to PC, but whern doing it I get /var/lib/sambausershare permission denied
[18:26] <Scunizi> linduxed: how large is it suppose to be?
[18:26] <linduxed> 16Gb
[18:26] <skylar> How to get a big full install of R (open source statistics) on Hardy?
[18:26] <Minty95> I know I need to go inro termian to do something butt cant remeber wher, any help please
[18:26] <Scunizi> linduxed: have you looked at it with gparted?  if it's installed on your system it will be under System/Admin/Partition Editor
[18:27] <linduxed> and btw it says that it only har 15.11 Gb
[18:27] <jorrit> linduxed, that's because of the overhead of the format
[18:27] <danbh_intrepid> g0tcha: /etc/apt/sources.list    check that file
[18:27] <linduxed> Scunizi: yupp checked there
[18:27] <Scunizi> linduxed: ah.. so you formatted it and it has 15.11 Gb available but 64Mb used.. what file system type?
[18:28] <DaKao> exit
[18:28] <Scunizi> linduxed: i missed it .. but what jorrit said 4 lines above.. not unusual
[18:28] <linduxed> Scunizi: came with fat32 but same thing with ntfs
[18:29] <ttt--> hi, i cant turn the toolbar back on in kpdf
[18:29] <ttt--> any ideas?
[18:29] <Khisanth> linduxed: what is the size on the box?
[18:29] <linduxed> jorrit: plz elaborate for newbie....
[18:29] <g0tcha> danbh_intrepid, here is the file http://10.homedns.org:8888/test/source.txt .. should b added correctly, right?
[18:30] <Scunizi> linduxed: it's the same thing with harddrives.. if you look on Tigerdirect at any of their drives there is a disclaimer at the bottom of the description page about the difference in available space after formatting vs advertised capacity
[18:30] <seriousstorm85> i have connected a flat screen monitor to my laptop. The screen resoloution window did not detect my external monitor, so i installed nvidia x server settings., I know have my external monitor workin however it shares the same wallpaper as my laptop window and the applications when maximized is using both screens
[18:30] <Chousuke> linduxed: when you put a filesystem on a disk there's some "lost space" taken by the filesystem structure itself
[18:30] <jorrit> linuxed, When a filesystem is formatted it needs some room to store the catalogue to your files, that would easily be 64 MB for 16GB, but the exact amount depends on the filesystem you used.
[18:30] <Chousuke> linduxed: it's unavoidable
[18:30] <ttt--> hi, i cant turn the toolbar back on in kpdf.. i tried rightclicking and Fkeys.. no luck

[18:35] <nalys> hi there, I got problems with installing ubuntu 8.04 on my laptop, I tried with the live cd and there always came this initramfs thing.... so I leeched the alternate cd and now the kernel is always loading to only 45%.... oh and some time ago before I tried installing it, ubuntu 8.04 ran live perfectly even wlan and all... so I really don't understand ahy I have these problems.... I'm sad......
[18:35] <nalys> ...help plx ? :D
[18:36] <danbh_intrepid> nalys: did you check the cd?

[18:36] <g0tcha> danbh_intrepid, thanks
[18:36] <erUSUL> kudar: well for that you need the ubuntu kernel sources and either recompile said driver or the whole kernel
[18:37] <erUSUL> !kernel | kudar
[18:37] <jorrit> kudar, Just open it in your favorite editor and comment what you want between /* and */
[18:37] <MSI_Wind> found it : gksudo nautilus
[18:37] <g0tcha> danbh_intrepid, umm if i want to follow that right now, i dont need to uninstall or anything like that? just follow from the start?
[18:37] <nalys> danbh_intrepid: I'm checking it right now but theres a paradox.... it's loading the kernel to check it... so it still loads to 45%
[18:37] <Xcerca> is there a way to resize my ubuntu partiton ?  it's freespace is 0 byts...

[18:39] <danbh_intrepid> g0tcha: I think so.  If you do need to uninstall something, you can do it after.  So, go ahead and run the installer, and see if it works.
[18:39] <opt1k> is FreeNX in ubuntu repos?
[18:39] <jorrit> kudar: Recompiling you kernel is complex, but if you really want to edit this file, try sudo locate iwl-4965-rs.c

[18:39] <Hex101> or that

[19:08] <pawan_> i have prolink pixel view bt878p card
[19:08] <Kian84> it just seemed more polite to ask for a permission, instead of interrupting all your conversation with my question and then maybe be ignored.............. anyway........ is there a way to transfer a partially downloaded torrent to another client? (e.g. from Transmission to Deluge)
[19:09] <Osaris> I cant find any help about "System.DllNotFoundException: gtksharpglue-2" in monodevelop when running(building) a program PLZ help if u know

[19:09] <Kelderkeuken> Kian84: even if it is possible it is probably not worth the bother, why not finish that one torrent with transmission?
[19:09] <ganesh> any one who is expert in gnome sessions?

[19:10] <Osaris> well spsneo if u can get adobe proffesional working on ubuntu u can.
[19:10] <danbh_intrepid> Kian84: I bet you could just transfer the files over
[19:10] <Kian84> because transmission is well configured (i think) and it doesn't go faster than 10kb/s, it just can't be!
[19:11] <Osaris> who here can help me with monodevelop or has a working monodevelop instalation?
[19:11] <carandraug> Kian84: also, don't worry about asking without asking for permission. Imagine how it would be if people actually answered to that?

[19:24] <carandraug> skylar: the safest thing would probably to close everything then and if that doesn't work to reboot. However, a lazy umount will probably do the trick "sudo umount -l /path_to_mount_point"

[19:32] <unop> ePax, that works
[19:32] <Osaris> i asked at monodevelop irc but they redirected me here and told me i must ask the ubuntu packagers
[19:32] <esperegu> genii: can it also read the current tags?
[19:33] <danbh_intrepid> phantomcircuit: he is having trouble starting it, so its an ubuntu problem
[19:33] <phantomcircuit> RandyboY, the fingerprint reader is probably a USB device (at least it is on my thinkpad) so you need a special custom authentication module to use it, people have spent the time writting one for thinkpads but i seriously doubt they have done the same for acer

[19:36] <danbh_intrepid> Osaris: I could test on hardy, but not today.  In fact, I should probably leave now
[19:36] <RandyboY> phantomcircuit, yeah, ive tried it, but "USB device not found" is the message i get :)
[19:36] <unop> DJAdmiral, well, what commands did you run? what error are you getting?  put this up on a pastebin so we can have a look.

[19:37] <DJAdmiral> sigh, I think I have an idea, hang on
[19:37] <phantomcircuit> RandyboY, i suggest complaining a lot to aspire
[19:37] <phantomcircuit> they wont fix it

[19:37] <phantomcircuit> but they will know that someone cares
[19:37] <edlv> danbh_intrepid: opened.
[19:38] <RandyboY> phantomcircuit, this laptop is probably too new cause even alsa didnt work so i had to convert to OSS :-)
[19:38] <danbh_intrepid> edlv: pick a  device, go to preferences, check everything, hit ok, then unmute everything.  Repeat with a different device

I'm just a little less patient than I was when I politely asked my first question yesterday or when was it ^^ but i know of course that you guys arent wizards and I dont expect anything :) so no one for this...

[19:39] <Osaris> danbh_intrepid can u plz have a look for me. Someone told me its got something to do with my system variables

[19:43] <Kelderkeuken> EminX: You mean FF closes, or shows a blank page?
[19:43] <opt1k> shiloh7_: yeah that's true, but #bash.. i don't know... like it's a channel reserved for for leet haxxx and everyone else is unwelcome to ask a question
[19:43] <nalys> dooglus: no thanks to people how are ready to voluntarily hlp others out ....
[19:43] <EminX> jarco: it is just disappearing, there are and some other sites but I remember this one isohunt.com, everytime i try it
[19:43] <soundray> ActionParsnip: any error when you 'sudo mount /dev/sda2'?
[19:43] <nalys> and share their knowledge....
[19:44] <nalys> but i dont think its the right place for that conversation
[19:44] <therealnanotube> opt1k: just ignore the lamers and ask your question.
[19:44] <opt1k> unop: but it has to do with linux, and even if it doesn't, they could at least answer politely, not start trashing ppl asap
[19:44] <therealnanotube> opt1k: that's the way internet works. :)

[19:45] <Jack_Sparrow> !cron > KoolD
[19:45] <dooglus> KoolD: "sudo at 8:55 shutdown" maybe?
[19:45] <unop> opt1k, well, complaining about it elsewhere doesn't help you or anyone else - just focus on getting your questions answered and you're likely to source a solution.
[19:45] <KoolD> hey thanks
[19:45] <soundray> ActionParsnip: is it okay in Windows?
[19:46] <dooglus> KoolD: 'cron' is useful if you want something to happen regularly (8pm every day, midnight every tuesday, etc).  'at' is if you want to schedule a one-off command
[19:46] <ActionParsnip> soundray: its an old partition and my backups arent solid enough to wipe, format ext3 and restore.
[19:46] <jarco> EminX: its possible u use an adblocker? i know that sometimes makes pages not appear
[19:46] <opt1k> unop: true.
[19:46] <woli> is there some binary to ascii translator tool?

[19:47] <KoolD> dooglus..so 'at' acts only once??
[19:47] <soundray> shiloh7_: not at all if you can avoid it. What are you trying to run?
[19:47] <ActionParsnip> soundray: its an old windows data partition
[19:47] <st3ph> hiya soundray :D
[19:47] <dooglus> opt1k: so what's your question, you gui-using n00b?
[19:47] <unop> shiloh7_,  chmod +x /path/to/file.bin;  /path/to/file.bin
[19:47] <ActionParsnip> soundray: ive got bart-pe which may help
[19:47] <Jack_Sparrow> shiloh7_ How to install anything in Ubuntu: http://monkeyblog.org/ubuntu/installing/
[19:47] <dooglus> KoolD: 'at' schedules a single command at the given time, yeah
[19:47] <dooglus> KoolD: type "man at" to see the manual for it
[19:47] <ActionParsnip> soundray: if its shot i can repopulate, just trying to save time etc
[19:48] <shiloh7_> soundray, install real player, i need to run rm media files for work
[19:48] <opt1k> dooglus: it's is there a way to work around that popup window when you run a script outside the terminal?
[19:48] <Aayush> how could i hibernate frim command line
[19:48] <soundray> ActionParsnip: if you're lucky, it'll just work when you mount it in Windows, then shut Windows down cleanly.
[19:48] <opt1k> the one that asks you "display, run, in terminal, close
[19:48] <dooglus> opt1k: some context please?
[19:48] <unop> shiloh7_, the w32codecs package from medibuntu has codecs to play rm files
[19:48] <dooglus> opt1k: I've never seen it I don't think
[19:48] <ActionParsnip> soundray: yeah should do. ill load bart pe and see what he can do
[19:49] <dooglus> opt1k: oh, you're double-clicking a .sh file or something?
[19:49] <soundray> ActionParsnip: otherwise, try ntfsfix from the ntfstools package (don't know much about that one, but I've heard that it helps)
[19:49] <Aayush> ﻿how could i hibernate form command line
[19:49] <dooglus> opt1k: using GNOME?  or KDE?  or ...?
[19:49] <opt1k> gnome
[19:49] <Aayush> gnome
[19:49] <opt1k> yeah.. when you double click.. for the lazy people =)
[19:49] <soundray> shiloh7_: you have two options that are better than running the installer you've downloaded:
[19:50] <EminX> jarco: I guess it's a crash, because when I start again FF it is asking me for restore session
[19:50] <shiloh7_> soundray, im all eyes :)
[19:50] <Aayush> ﻿how could i hibernate form command line
[19:50] <jimcooncat> apt-cacher or approx? your opinion, please!
[19:50] <maszlo> Aayush:  check the folder /etc/acpi/
[19:50] <soundray> shiloh7_: 1) install the codecs from the medibuntu repositories OR 2) get the Helix player for Ubuntu -- I think there's an installer for it in apps-data-commercial
[19:51] <pageold> hello
[19:51] <pageold> got prob here
[19:51] <lolmac> hi, pageold
[19:51] <opt1k> dooglus: btw it'd  be cool if you have some papers on it, and how to detecd your what's your n00bish gui so the script works according to that
[19:51] <Jack_Sparrow> !bot > jimcooncat
[19:51] <Diabolic> I'm installing Ubuntu now.  I have XP installed already, so it's gonna be a dual boot.  But when I reach the partitioner it show no disks.
[19:51] <therealnanotube> opt1k: not a good idea to disable that for all shell scripts. i would suggest instead just to create a launcher for your particular shell script that you want to run with double-click.
[19:51] <maszlo> Aayush: there is a hibernate script.. just run it as root
[19:51] <soundray> shiloh7_: sorry misspelled

[19:52] <soundray> shiloh7_: but the first thing I'd try is codecs. Two more factoids in your pm:

[19:52] <jimcooncat> Jack_Sparrow: why the !bot? Am I offtopic?
[19:52] <opt1k> therealnanotube: ty.. i'll think it over =)
[19:52] <soundray> !medibuntu > shiloh7_
[19:52] <Jack_Sparrow> jimcooncat nope
[19:52] <Diabolic> Jack_Sparrow: Thanks.  Gonna try.  Using a Live CD.
[19:52] <therealnanotube> opt1k: ok :)
[19:52] <dooglus> opt1k: I don't use the n00bish gui myself - I find it's quicker to type a letter or two and hit return than it is to hunt through folders for a little picture of the script
[19:52] <Diabolic> Jack_Sparrow: It's a SATA.  Your suggestion still applies?
[19:53] <EminX> Kelderkeuken: ﻿I guess it's kind of a crash, because when I start again FF it is asking me for restore session
[19:53] <Jack_Sparrow> Diabolic cant hurt to try and see if the drives show up
[19:53] <arooni> vchow do i see how much space is available to use in /tmp?
[19:53] <opt1k> dooglus: true, but i'm just getting familiar with linux, and i'm sure there are lots of people like that, so you can't expect us to  go pro in an instant
[19:53] <opt1k> :D
[19:53] <jarco> EminX: can you repair it with aptitude?
[19:53] <Dabbu> i have updated the aureus.i get the package from getdeb.com and this is the latest one.i ubuntu repository it is older and till today i was using the older one and i had no problem but today when i install new one aureus is using much of my system resource.
[19:53] <jarco> dunno for sure if it helps
[19:54] <Dabbu> How i can i switch back to older one
[19:54] <dooglus> opt1k: one thing I can tell you is that the script doesn't even get started before you answer that question from GNOME - so nothing in the script can stop that question being asked (at least not the first time)
[19:54] <opt1k> somebody should write a book, n00b to 1337 For Dummies.
[19:54] <jin> hi, I am going to upgrade my mainboard and cpu, do I have to reinstall my system?
[19:55] <EminX> jarco: I'm new on linux, sorry but I don't even know what is aptitude
[19:55] <opt1k> dooglus: so basically the only way for the question not to pop up is to run it from terminal ?
[19:55] <opt1k> !aptitude | EminX
[19:55] <Jack_Sparrow> jin You should not need to
[19:55] <jarco> !find firefox
[19:55] <H0T_R0D> question? how do figure out what device is connected to /dev/ttyUSB0?

[19:55] <jarco> !package firefox

[19:55] <nalys> Jack_Sparrow: ok I give up I'll try another day... thanks anyways
[19:55] <maszlo> H0T_R0D: try lsusb
[19:55] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[19:55] <dooglus> opt1k: there may be something you can configure in GNOME (probably nautilus) to prevent the question
[19:56] <H0T_R0D> i have 2 usb ports on my laptop and i wanted to know if its hooked to usb0 or usb1
[19:56] <zoed> !info firefox | jarco
[19:56] <dooglus> opt1k: and maybe something in KDE too (that's more likely - GNOME is light on options)
[19:56] <jarco> correct me if i am wrong someone but i think u can do: sudo apt-get repair firefox (not sure about package name)
[19:56] <olivdt> Hello, I'm using Hardy Heron on a Dell Vostro with BCM4311 wireless card, I'm able to connect, everything seems to work fine, but then I loose my connection for a 10 to 60 seconds from time to time. Although I can see the connection icon at the top-right, when I ping my router I get "Network unreachable" or a simple packet loss. Any ideas ?
[19:56] <lolmac> hi, olivdt
[19:56] <ewq> hi guys
[19:56] <maszlo> H0T_R0D: you should get some messages in dmesg
[19:56] <mutaku>  gnute
[19:56] <olivdt> hi lolmac
[19:56] <jarco> u got that EminX?
[19:56] <ewq> i'm new with ubuntu. really like it, but can you tell me how i can use os x -like dock
[19:57] <Dabbu>  i have updated the aureus.i get the package from getdeb.com and this is the latest one.i ubuntu repository it is older and till today i was using the older one and i had no problem but today when i install new one aureus is using much of my system resource.
[19:57] <Dabbu> How i can i switch back to older one
[19:57] <dooglus> opt1k: is this any use? http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/programming-9/remove-the-run-or-display-when-i-execute-a-script-57864/
[19:57] <gnute> need help installing lib64asound2
[19:57] <maszlo> H0T_R0D: if you unplug it and and plug it in again.. then run dmesg  you should see it at the end
[19:57] <zoed> ewq: install the package: Avant Window Manager
[19:57] <Prose> hey all, an proftpd server is just like a normal ftp server ? It can be accessed with a browser ?
[19:57] <danbh_intrepid> Dabbu: uninstall, then install again
[19:57] <FuriousGeorge> hey all
[19:57] <ewq> zoed, thanks
[19:57] <jarco> yes prose
[19:57] <dooglus> opt1k: this looks more promising: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-308883.html
[19:58] <zoed> ewq: you can open Add/Remove applications and enter "dock" in the search field.
[19:58] <opt1k> dooglus: heh, i'd like to just make an exception for that 1 script, not every =) btw, i have a firefox problem also (actually firefox-related, nothing wrong with the browser): mplayer has to task to deal with video embeds in ff, and when some .avi/.divx/etc file tries to load up, i just get the link to that file, no vid is shown in the browser
[19:58] <FuriousGeorge> i had set up some lvm partitions, then i tried to install ubuntu, but it apparently didnt understand my raid
[19:58] <opt1k> dooglus: ty for the links btw, i'm going to check them out now
[19:58] <staquixx> \bye
[19:58] <Dabbu> danbh_intrepid: i am downloading a big file and i don't want to loose that
[19:58] <staquixx> bye
[19:58] <Prose> jarco: and is upload also done through browser ?
[19:58] <staquixx> \ bye
[19:58] <FuriousGeorge> so i heard i should try an alternate cd, but i only have a pen drive and i cant seem to install the alternate cd on a pendrive
[19:58] <staquixx> bye
[19:58] <FuriousGeorge> like i can the regular cd
[19:58] <FuriousGeorge> so what is my recourse?
[19:59] <dooglus> opt1k: I've never had good experiences with embedded (non-flash) video in firefox under linux.  the mplayer plugin is indeed weird for me too.  sometimes it doesn't play, other times it plays the movie twice, etc.
[19:59] <jarco> depends Prose. if you set the rights accordingly. Also your browser must be able to do uploads over ftp
[19:59] <dooglus> opt1k: you could try the other firefox movie plugins - I think maybe totem or xine ones exist
[19:59] <edgyhardy> what is the name to install KDE in terminal using apt-get?
[19:59] <jarco> but it is a ftp server with all rings and bells like the rest
[19:59] <opt1k> dooglus: that sucks.. i've had totem, and it plays a vid to a certain point then it just stops
[19:59] <Prose> like FF3 has an extension if I remember right for ftp transfers
[19:59] <therealnanotube> edgyhardy: package kubuntu-desktop probably
[20:00] <opt1k> dooglus: i'll try xine since that's the only thing i didn't try out. divx should really port their web player to linux.
[20:00] <Diabolic> Jack_Sparrow: It worked.  Thanks!
[20:00] <ewq> zoed: oh great. thanks!
[20:00] <Jack_Sparrow> Diabolic cool
[20:00] <Stephen_Hawking> Pooky: fireftp
[20:00] <zoed> ewq: you installed it?
[20:01] <ewq> yeah,  and it works well
[20:01] <maszlo> has anyone had any luck with ff3 and adobe flash10?  I installed it yesterday on my notebook.. it was taking down ff on my tests with youtube
[20:01] <zoed> ewq: I guess you want it to start automatically on login....
[20:01] <danbh_intrepid> maszlo: works for me.   you runing hardy?
[20:01] <jarco> flash 10 beta running here
[20:01] <therealnanotube> hey, could someone check out my help thread about xinerama and tell me what you think? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=920690
[20:02] <maszlo> danbh_intrepid: yeah 8.04.1
[20:02] <slartie> I'm having a bit of an issue with apt-get on Intrepid Ibex .. A Catch 22 situation if you will. Any ideas how I resolve this one: http://pastebin.com/m27a6a836 ?
[20:02] <ewq> zoed: yes..
[20:02] <danbh_intrepid> maszlo: just wait for intrepid.  Its there by default
[20:02] <zoed> ewq: open System->Preferences->Session
[20:02] <dooglus> opt1k: I generally just download the video and play it with stand-alone mplayer
[20:03] <dooglus> opt1k: mplayer plays pretty much anything for me (with the exception of DRM'ed crap of course)
[20:03] <zoed> ewq: then click on the "+Add" Button to add a new startup programm
[20:03] <gnute> can't find lib64asound2 in synaptic, suggestions?
[20:03] <jarco> is anyone else having reception problems in ubuntu for wireless lans. Windows on same laptop maxes out (its standing next to the access point) but on linux i get 43 % max ....
[20:03] <opt1k> dooglus: yeah that's a cool thing to do, but sometimes i'd like to see just a quick preview, or watch it from the web (if i'm low on hdd space)
[20:03] <maszlo> danbh_intrepid: I removed the old one before too.. not sure what the issue is.. I think I need to fiddle with ff3.. it seems to have a little struggle with transparent layers
[20:03] <opt1k> btw, anyone know why nautilus is giving this error: ** (nautilus:20338): WARNING **: Unable to add monitor: Operation not supported
[20:03] <ewq> zoed: ok, i got it
[20:03] <opt1k> actually, a warning :D

[20:07] <maszlo> anyone fiddle with mythtv & haupage pvr encoder cards?  I had it setup in like 6.06.. but not since.. its was a pain in the but to get the firmware modules ivtv to load for my card

[20:07] <gnute> therealnanotube: i know where to get the repositories... just not good enough yet to install without synaptic. hehe
[20:08] <maszlo> I believe the card is a pvr350, or pvr250
[20:08] <therealnanotube> gnute: which version of ubuntu?
[20:08] <Remorse_> sup?
[20:08] <zoed> ewq: you got that? btw, you can open the config dialog for avant by right clicking on the dock (doing that is quite complicated). Extra stuff (plugins, themes) at  http://wiki.awn-project.org/

[20:08] <gnute> therealnanotube: hardy
[20:08] <opt1k> gnute: what package are you looking for?
[20:08] <Remorse_> that's a secret

[20:14] <|unjustice|> por nada
[20:14] <|unjustice|> any ideas?
[20:14] <therealnanotube> gnute: did you do a "sudo apt-get update"
[20:15] <therealnanotube> |unjustice|: does it show up in "about:plugins" when you install it?
[20:15] <|unjustice|> yeah
[20:15] <|unjustice|> in mozilla
[20:16] <EminX> jarco: I'm reading that web about aptitude
[20:16] <therealnanotube> |unjustice|: hm, and what happens when you go to a flash-y site, then? just nothing shows up? or crash, or what?
[20:16] <gnute> therealnanotube: no, last time tried "sudo apt-get update" = error
[20:16] <|unjustice|> therealnanotube: mostly...I cannot load the vids

[20:18] <opt1k> is it possible to do some web programming in bash? like querying a search engine?

[20:19] <therealnanotube> opt1k: basically, yes, by using tools like wget. but depending on what you want to do, it may be better to go to python or perl. (and yes, it's offtopic, but as long as you asked... :) )
[20:19] <|unjustice|> therealnanotube: says they are already installed

[20:21] <therealnanotube> useruseruser: didn't work as in, failed to install, or didn't work as in, installed ok, but doesn't play flash?
[20:21] <sweetgu1> therealnanotube: for c.
[20:22] <useruseruser> therealnanotube, couldn't find package
[20:22] <gladpack2> i have installed ubuntu with a wubiinstaller
[20:22] <gnute> therealnanotube: apt-get error = "failed to fetch cdrom"
[20:22] <gladpack2> but i cant use the internets
[20:22] <Jack_Sparrow> !wubi > glad
[20:22] <gladpack2> because it doesnt display/find my wireless card
[20:22] <shadowsurfer> hi, can someone please tell me where Ubuntu stores the .deb files of the updates/downloads it gets?
[20:23] <gladpack2> is there some installation i have to make?
[20:23] <gladpack2> or should it work "out of the box"?
[20:23] <Jack_Sparrow> shadowsurfer /var/cache/apt/archives
[20:23] <therealnanotube> sweetgu1: libgtk2.0-dev
[20:23] <Jack_Sparrow> gladpack2 wubi is not the best choice for long term use of ubuntu.  MOre of a test drive for windows users.
[20:24] <therealnanotube> useruseruser: did you enable universe repository? (or maybe it's even in multiverse)
[20:24] <shadowsurfer> Jack_Sparrow, you are a legend thanks
[20:24] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[20:24] <therealnanotube> gnute: you need to disable the cdrom repo, then.
[20:24] <therealnanotube> gnute: under synaptic: settings -> repositories
[20:25] <gladpack2> jack: ok you think it could work if i install for real?
[20:25] <useruseruser> therealnanotube-working on it, will let u know
[20:25] <Jack_Sparrow> gladpack2 try running as livecd first
[20:25] <therealnanotube> opt1k: sure, msg me if you want. :)
[20:25] <therealnanotube> useruseruser: cool :)
[20:26] <Nutzebahn> What is the best free alternative to AutoCAD?
[20:26] <Jack_Sparrow> !cad
[20:26] <hurt> there is no free alternative to autocad
[20:26] <therealnanotube> Nutzebahn: well, there is qcad, but it's only 2-d
[20:26] <pw-> is build-essentials still included in the CD?
[20:26] <HaZ> When i install things from apt-get, or from .deb files where do the files go?
[20:26] <jarco> hihi i just met tux in spore :D
[20:26] <therealnanotube> Nutzebahn: don't know if there really is a good opensource 3-d cad program...
[20:27] <Jack_Sparrow> haz /var/cache/apt/archives
[20:27] <hurt> there is none, therealnanotube
[20:27] <maszlo> Nutzebahn: the forum recomends qcad
[20:27] <HaZ> k
[20:27] <therealnanotube> pw-: i think so...
[20:27] <dblick> I'm trying to learn dpkg so I can install packages in my home directory.  Can anyone give me a good reference?  If I made a source .deb, can I install/relocate with this?

[20:27] <RandyboY> How can i get my fingerprint reader working on my Aspire 6920 in Ubuntu? The touchpad and light "dimmer"(Fn-key+ some key) isnt working properly either...
[20:27] <Tux2K81> how to enable the multiverse repository??? I dont see it in the synaptic configuration
[20:27] <HaZ> oh Jack_Sparrow i mean, when it unpacks files and installs them
[20:27] <|unjustice|> !libflashsupport
[20:27] <therealnanotube> HaZ: the deb files go into /var/cache/apt/archives, but the actual installed files go all over the system. you can look at package properties in synaptic for the easiest way to see all installed files.
[20:27] <HaZ> ok
[20:28] <Jack_Sparrow> HaZ depends on what you are installing
[20:28] <dblick> Jack_Sparrow, I just came from there, no mention of using home directory though.
[20:28] <HaZ> like ive just install bitchx for example
[20:28] <HaZ> ive got no idea where its put it
[20:28] <|unjustice|> !info flash
[20:28] <therealnanotube> HaZ: so if you are looking to find your debs, Jack_Sparrow is right, but if you are looking for installed files...
[20:28] <hbarrett> Jack_Sparrow : F6 does not show any options to remove Quiet or Splash. What is the command?
[20:28] <Jack_Sparrow> !find flash
[20:28] <|unjustice|> !info libflashsupport
[20:29] <gnute> therealnanotube: cdrom removed, however, "Failed to fetch http://....  404 Not Found"
[20:29] <Jack_Sparrow> hbarrett f6 at start or install will let you edit the command line
[20:29] <|unjustice|> !info libflash-mozplugin
[20:29] <therealnanotube> HaZ: ah, well, from terminal, you can do "dpkg -L bitchx" (if bitchx was the package name you installed), and it will show where everything went. usually, the runnable executables go into /usr/bin (so, /usr/bin/bitchx)
[20:29] <HaZ> ok
[20:29] <Nutzebahn> What about freeCAD?
[20:29] <hurt> Nutzebahn: what do you want to to with your CAD software?
[20:30] <therealnanotube> are you behind any web proxes? can you get that http://... whatever it is manually by putting it into firefox?

[20:30] <gnu_d> Hi, I installed Hardy on a motherboard which has this ethernet card> Bridge: nVidia Corporation MCP61 Ethernet (rev a2), but I tried to connect it to the internet but I failed.

[20:30] <Jack_Sparrow> chris_____ yes, but you lose the ability to have icons on the desktop
[20:30] <Nutzebahn> I'm looking for someone else. :)
[20:31] <chris_____> Jack_Sparrow: ah thanks
[20:31] <Jack_Sparrow> bullgard4 remove a few icons from the bar to your desktop then move it
[20:31] <Guiri> Hi guys. I'm getting permissions errors trying to install vlc, because I had a friend try to compile from git the other day. Can i force overwrite all the dependencies and such? force all required to install?
[20:31] <Guiri> apt-get -f install doesn't do the trick
[20:31] <gnute> therealnanotube: no, no
[20:32] <bullgard4> Jack_Sparrow: I dislike the idea to remove some icons. I am afraid it will cost much work to restore them.
[20:32] <gnute> therealnanotube: firefox has been giving me 404 errors when i can get to same page from other non linux pcs
[20:32] <hbarrett> Jack_Sparrow : When I press f6 I get the "SPECIAL BOOT PARAMETERS - VARIOUS HARDWARE" page.

[20:33] <Jack_Sparrow> hbarrett Are you running HArdy or intrepid
[20:33] <xintron> is there like an easy alarm (run from terminal maybe) that just sets a time and maybe a message and then sounds a bell at that time?
[20:33] <Jack_Sparrow> hbarrett YEs, you are going to use special boot parameters
[20:34] <hiptobecubic> xintron, chron + beep perhaps?
[20:34] <yoyoned> xintron: there is a gnome timer applet
[20:34] <therealnanotube> gnute: wtf! it's looking for Warty repos. wow, your sources.list must be a bit messed up... can you post your sources.list up on pastebin, so we can take a look?
[20:34] <gnute> therealnanotube: yeah i just saw that when i posted it. how do i fix that?
[20:34] <Jack_Sparrow> therealnanotube Please dont use wtf in here.. thanks
[20:34] <xintron> hiptobecubic: maybe :)
[20:35] <jokkaa> how can i manage a full system update? sudo update?
[20:35] <tehboriz> hay guys i'm looking for a SIMPLE distro to be used on my homeserver
[20:35] <tehboriz> i've got xp on it right now and i'm hating.
[20:35] <hbarrett> Jack_Sparrow I am trying to install Hardy.
[20:35] <yoyoned> jokkaa: sudo aptitude dist-upgrade
[20:35] <therealnanotube> gnute: fix your sources.list, that's how. remove references to warty, put stuff for hardy.
[20:35] <hiptobecubic> tehboriz, what do you mean 'simple' ?
[20:35] <tehboriz> hiptobecubic: i mean have all the server stuff on there so i dont have to sudo
[20:35] <tehboriz> i wanna have apache with php kind of stuff
[20:35] <therealnanotube> Jack_Sparrow: what if wft = what the fsck? we can use unix commands in here, no? :)
[20:35] <hiptobecubic> tehboriz, like ubuntu server?
[20:35] <tehboriz> not sure what linux uses
[20:35] <tehboriz> hiptobecubic: exactly
[20:36] <hiptobecubic> tehboriz, try ubuntu server. lol....
[20:36] <tehboriz> vnc is a must
[20:36] <Jack_Sparrow> hbarrett f6 at start or install will let you edit the command line here are some  noapic acpi=off, pci=irqroute, xmodule=vesa, vga=normal, vga=771, vga=791, pci=irqroute, framebuffer=false, ide=nodma, nomce, pnpbios=off, xdrvr=vesa, res=800x600, apm=off,pci=noapci, nolapic, all_generic_ide, nolapic, pci=assign-busses, pci=irqpoll, pci=biosirq, pnpbios=off, hpet=disable, xmodule=vesa, vga=normal, vga=771, pci=irqroute, framebuffe
[20:36] <Jack_Sparrow> r=false, pci=nomsi
[20:36] <tehboriz> hiptobecubic: what's the apache equivalent in linux
[20:36] <hiptobecubic> tehboriz, i believe you can read about it on the website...
[20:36] <Jack_Sparrow> therealnanotube If you want fsck spell it out.. thanks
[20:36] <tehboriz> hiptobecubic: anything without pretty gui
[20:36] <hbarrett> Jack_Sparrow : f6 does not work
[20:36] <yoyoned> hiptobecubic: apache
[20:36] <Jack_Sparrow> hbarrett then I cant help you
[20:36] <tehboriz> it's gotta have amazing start up time
[20:36] <hiptobecubic> tehboriz, apache is in linux
[20:37] <tehboriz> something that I think it can accomplish
[20:37] <tehboriz> oh lol that's good
[20:37] <Diabolic> hbarrett: It does, just look ;)
[20:37] <robi> hello
[20:37] <lolmac> hi, robi
[20:37] <robi> hi lolmac
[20:37] <hiptobecubic> !apache | tehboriz
[20:38] <tehboriz> hiptobecubic: how about automatic hard drive shutdown when not in use?
[20:38] <Guiri> anybody on my force install question?
[20:38] <hiptobecubic> tehboriz, these are all settings that can be controlled in any distro i believe, you just need to have an understanding linux config
[20:38] <hiptobecubic> of linux *
[20:38] <tehboriz> i've got barely any linux experience
[20:39] <televideo> TEM ALGUMA BRASUCA NESSE CHAT
[20:39] <tehboriz> would i be able to set up apache?
[20:39] <Jack_Sparrow> !br > televideo
[20:39] <zhaozhou> Right, do you guys know a mediaplayer that likes big music collections and is quite fast (thus C or C++ only)? :-) Something like foobar2000
[20:39] <hiptobecubic> tehboriz, then you should probably learn how to set up the server on a less important computer first
[20:39] <r00t__> apt-get install apache2 php5 mysql-server openssh-server
[20:39] <tehboriz> hiptobecubic: ugh dosen't seem worth it
[20:39] <Jack_Sparrow> !lamp
[20:39] <gnute> therealnanotube: "sudo apt-get update" worked (buys therealnanotube a coke), but lib64asound2 still not found. :(
[20:39] <yoyoned> tehboriz: apache works out of the box for most distros including ubuntu server
[20:40] <r00t__> worked on mine
[20:40] <therealnanotube> Jack_Sparrow: hehe, ok fine
[20:40] <tehboriz> yoyoned: does ubuntu start up fast
[20:40] <r00t__> depending on ram, yes
[20:41] <MSI-Wind> can anyone tell me how to get streamtuner to work as I don't hve mms*
[20:41] <tehboriz> what the hell is red hat
[20:41] <gnute> therealnanotube: how can i install lib64asound2 from source?
[20:41] <hiptobecubic> tehboriz, honestly, if your server is working and you're confident enough with your security issues then why change? It's one thing to want to learn about a new system, but it's another to break a working system on an experimental whim. Try setting up a server that you aren't reliant on and you'll see how easy or difficult it is.
[20:41] <yoyoned> tehboriz: fast is relative.  should start in about 30 seconds, but start up time souldn't be an issue when considering a server.  Uptime is more important
[20:41] <tehboriz> well hiptobecubic obviously windows isn't great for servers
[20:42] <tehboriz> it uses up unnecessary cpu usage, and my apache php module is broken
[20:42] <r00t__> red hat is another version of linux...similiar to ubuntu
[20:42] <hiptobecubic> tehboriz, if it's such common knowledge, then why did you start with it
[20:42] <tehboriz> i must have it fixed
[20:42] <yoyoned> tehboriz: what are you moving from
[20:42] <tehboriz> cause i needed some experience with servers
[20:42] <therealnanotube> gnute: sorry, gtg. good luck :)
[20:42] <tehboriz> yoyoned: i have xp right now... very embarassing
[20:42] <tehboriz> i'm thinking of moving to ubuntu server
[20:43] <yoyoned> tehboriz: it's not hard.  If you hava apache running under XP, it will be a breeze under ubuntu
[20:43] <hurt> what services do you want to provide with your server?
[20:43] <gnute> therealnanotube: thanks, i did make progress.
[20:43] <tehboriz> yoyoned: thanks

[21:09] <_Zeus_> tmroly: install that
[21:09] <magnetron> pen, choose the one that's adapted to your LCD screen. the most common one is the one that is selected by default.
[21:09] <nickweb> amt2, I've noticed totem has a habbit of not playing if the sounds not working..
[21:09] <tmroly> _Zeus_ : ok

[21:11] <tehboriz> hey guys how big is the ubuntu server installation size in total
[21:11] <Jack_Sparrow> Winston_SmithVT look in !wifi for your specific hardware and see what it ways
[21:11] <squale> it used to work
[21:11] <Jack_Sparrow> !wifi
[21:11] <_Zeus_> tehboriz: installed size?  or preinstalled size
[21:11] <pen> magnetron, oops, i missed it
[21:11] <pen> magnetron, well, so it's RGB?
[21:11] <tehboriz> _Zeus_: when it's installed on the computer
[21:11] <_Zeus_> about 3.5GB?
[21:11] <m3phisto23> i got some problems with my windows partition after installaing ubuntu... it starts up with a blue screen... can someone help me
[21:11] <tehboriz> _Zeus_: WHAT
[21:11] <Bikerbob> what different ways are there to configure X from cli?
[21:12] <devo> i have a question pertaining to Ubuntu-Server-Heron randomly wiping the /etc/group file
[21:12] <_Zeus_> tehboriz: maybe 2.5, 3
[21:12] <Jack_Sparrow> m3phisto23 Did you install from inside windows with the wubi installer by chance
[21:12] <Prose> that's some nice compression rate
[21:12] <_Zeus_> why?
[21:12] <tehboriz> what the hell that's bigger than half of vista
[21:12] <tehboriz> i'm running this on a 4gb hard drive
[21:12] <tehboriz> what's with the bloat
[21:12] <m3phisto23> no. i installed it outside of win
[21:12] <Daisuke_Ido> tehboriz: i can't see it being that big
[21:12] <m3phisto23> with the normal cd
[21:12] <Prose> tehboriz: I also have my doubts on that size
[21:12] <tehboriz> Daisuke_Ido: i've got like 700mb being burned...
[21:13] <tehboriz> i hope most of it is the stuff for the livecd to work
[21:13] <sisco311> exit
[21:13] <Prose> I hear Debian is 20GB..
[21:13] <Daisuke_Ido> what?
[21:13] <magnetron> pen, did you read my answer? the best one is the one that is adapted to your LCD screen. i don't know the subpixel order of your screen. however, most screens use the same order as the one ubuntu is set to by default.
[21:13] <Daisuke_Ido> oh sweet lord, quit pulling numbers out of your butt!
[21:13] <_Zeus_> tehboriz: actual number is 2.2GB fir server
[21:13] <Bikerbob> does Xconfigure work on 804? need to make changes
[21:13] <_Zeus_> i was thinking of desktop
[21:13] <m3phisto23> it is not possible to enter the wind partition from ubuntu
[21:13] <_Zeus_> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=100686
[21:13] <Daisuke_Ido> no, actual number is 500mb for server.
[21:13] <pen> magnetron, RGB is the default
[21:13] <_Zeus_> um, no
[21:13] <sweetgu1> whats the default root password?
[21:13] <_Zeus_> oh wait
[21:13] <Daisuke_Ido> sweetgu1: there isn't one, you don't need one
[21:13] <_Zeus_> Daisuke_Ido is right
[21:14] <Jack_Sparrow> m3phisto23 You can read and write the windows partitions in ubuntu.
[21:14] <m3phisto23> sweetgu1 ther is no defoult root pw
[21:14] <bobertdos> sweetgu1: use sudo
[21:14] <Jack_Sparrow> !root
[21:14] <phisher1> hey
[21:14] <amt2> nickweb, it didn't get fix by changing eveyrhitng to ALSA
[21:14] <_Zeus_> The base install (server) takes up just under 400 megs of space (plus filesystem data, reserved blocks, swap, think 500 megs of raw disk space)
[21:14] <tehboriz> haha Jack_Sparrow
[21:14] <ion-> I'm trying to mount a dmg file using dmgmounter and it says that the file was successfully mounted then "Couldn't find media/iphone_sdk_final". Anyone know how to use this app?
[21:14] <sweetgu1> bobertdos: i cant login with sudo to root
[21:14] <m3phisto23> no sorry. its not possible... it ubuntu is not able to load show the files. the partition seems to be broken
[21:14] <opt1k> does ubuntu come with preinstalled mail/sendmail/exim/etc
[21:15] <_Zeus_> opt1k: i don't think so, but you can use tasksel to install it
[21:15] <Daisuke_Ido> _Zeus_: the numbers out of butt thing was the quoted 20gb for debian, which is absolutely ridiculous
[21:15] <_Zeus_> !tasksel
[21:15] <bobertdos> sweetgu1: Are you trying to login to a live session or something?
[21:15] <sweetgu1> bobertdos: actually im using su, how do i use sudo, no not a live session
[21:15] <_Zeus_> Daisuke_Ido: oh yeah definately.  i was thinking about the desktop version, the server version is about 500MB
[21:15] <devo> ubuntu-server-heron wiped my /etc/group file and now I can't log in or really do anything, trying to figure out how to rebuild it, or something similar
[21:15] <Daisuke_Ido> yeah, desktop's a couple gb easy :D
[21:15] <xukun> is it possible to see dvd menu in totem?
[21:15] <Bikerbob> anyone on cinfigureing X?
[21:15] <Jack_Sparrow> sweetgu1 sudo -s
[21:15] <Prose> Daisuke_Ido: well I dont know, I wanted to download debian some time ago and it had 20 ISO labeled part 1 to 20
[21:16] <opt1k> _Zeus_: k,ty
[21:16] <Daisuke_Ido> Prose: those aren't all necessary
[21:16] <Daisuke_Ido> in fact, only the first is necessary
[21:16] <sweetgu1> Jack_Sparrow: thx worked
[21:16] <Jack_Sparrow> cool
[21:16] <Prose> Daisuke_Ido: I see, good to know
[21:16] <bobertdos> sweetgu1: sudo is used with your regular user password........and if if you really prefer a constant root session, use sudo -i
[21:16] <Daisuke_Ido> the rest are probably packages making up the rest of the repo
[21:16] <_Zeus_> Daisuke_Ido: the desktop is about 4gb, yeah
[21:17] <GibbaTheHutt> hiya, anyone managed to get over a problem with quake3 and ubuntu, get a /dev/dsp mmap error
[21:17] <Prose> bobertdos: doesn't            sudo su             do it ?
[21:17] <Jack_Sparrow> Prose that is nt the best choice
[21:17] <Coder7> anyone here use empathy?
[21:17] <_Zeus_> !ask | Coder7
[21:17] <unop> Prose, sudo su  makes su redundant.  why become root (with sudo) only to run another program that makes you root (su) ?
[21:18] <Prose> unop: because sudo su makes you superuser as long as you dont close the Terminal
[21:18] <Bikerbob> please someone help with configuring video and monitor from cli?
[21:18] <bujar> how do u open .cer files in the comand line?
[21:18] <_Zeus_> bujar: nano?
[21:18] <phisher1> ?
[21:18] <unop> Prose, sudo -i   is what you need then.
[21:18] <Jack_Sparrow> prose so does the other option
[21:18] <_Zeus_> what is a .cer file?
[21:18] <unop> Prose, or  sudo -s  depending
[21:18] <Coder7> does empathy support audio or video yet? if so, how do you set it up and use it?
[21:18] <Jack_Sparrow> :)
[21:18] <Random1> how can i tweak the touchpad sensitiviy?
[21:18] <opt1k> ok, i have a question regarding the mutt & mutt-patched packages... do i have to install the mutt package first and then mutt-patched or i can just install mutt-patched w/o mutt ?
[21:19] <devo> can someone please help me rebuild an /etc/group file?
[21:19] <Jack_Sparrow> !touchpad
[21:19] <_Zeus_> Random1: Preferences > Mouse?
[21:19] <_Zeus_> devo: i could send you my /etc/group...
[21:19] <Prose> all right then, Ill look at the man pages for sudo and see what this -i and -s business is all about
[21:19] <bujar> wpa suplicant  they are config files
[21:19] <unop> devo, errm, do you have the backup at  /etc/group- ?
[21:19] <xukun> does totem supports dvd menu?
[21:19] <artti> Jim_p?
[21:19] <_Zeus_> xukun: for menu support, try VLC or totem-xine
[21:20] <magnetron> opt1k, APT is specifically designed to sort out that sort of problems automatically. install any package you like. if any other package is needed, it will install those automagically
[21:20] <bujar> how do u open .cer .conf files
[21:20] <_Zeus_> bujar: nano, gedit, kate, emace?
[21:20] <Jack_Sparrow> !editors
[21:20] <Coder7> I've got empathy to connect to my Ekiga account, but I haven't been able to figure out how to do anything more than that
[21:20] <enl810d> can I ssh into my linux box from a windows machine?
[21:20] <opt1k> magnetron: ty
[21:21] <magnetron> enl810d, yes.
[21:21] <bobertdos> bujar: The vast majority of the most important config files in Ubuntu are just plaintext.
[21:21] <Coder7> enl810d: yes, if you install/enable the ssh server first
[21:21] <magnetron> opt1k, np
[21:21] <xukun> _Zeus_, the strange thing is that in vlc no sound comes from my logitech usb headset and totem there is sound.
[21:21] <artti> jim_p, da-da-dam.
[21:21] <pw-> i got my AR242x working! \o/ ...sort of
[21:21] <nkei0> okay everyone, I've got an awesome problem to deal with...
[21:21] <bobertdos> nkei0: That's awesome, tell us! :D
[21:21] <Prose> enl810d: yeah you need Putty and WinSPC for filetransfers
[21:22] <gnute> opt1k: libasound is installed, but '/usr/lib64/libasound.so' & '/usr/lib64/libasound.so.2' = no such file or directory. suggestions?
[21:22] <Coder7> xukun: I've had issues with my sound, always seems to center around pulseaudio troubles. I set VLC to use pulseaudio as the default output, and then I have to run `pulseaudio -k` followed by `pulseaudio -D` to get it working
[21:22] <nkei0> I was in windows clearing out a bunch of stuff and I think i deleted the wrong files and now i get the error msg saying my hal.dll is bad and i need to replace that to start ubuntu...  I've replaced it with a new one and now i can't even get into windows and the only way into ubuntu is the live cd
[21:22] <Mr_Fixit> anyone here use EtherApe and can tell me what a normal connection should look like???
[21:22] <pw-> anyone have AR242x experience with madwifi? I got halfway following their instructions, my wired connection now works (hooray) but my wifi still does not
[21:22] <_Zeus_> xukun: install totem-xine
[21:22] <bill--22> hi
[21:22] <lolmac> hi, bill--22
[21:23] <_Zeus_> nkei0: ubuntu doesn't use .dlls
[21:23] <unop> nkei0, hal.dll is only needed to boot windows
[21:23] <jamiejackson> what's the most linux friendly nx client?
[21:23] <nkei0> now, i've found that i need to edit the boot.ini to change which drive it's looking to for ubuntu however i don't know how to save it as i can't su in terminal on the live cd because it asks for a password which i don't know
[21:23] <jamiejackson> rather, ubuntu-friendly
[21:23] <unop> !grub | nkei0
[21:23] <nkei0> yes i found that out after i replace the hal.dll in windows
[21:23] <_Zeus_> nkei0: you're not using GRUB, are you
[21:23] <opt1k> gnute: well not quite... but you can always sudo mk /usr/lib64 and sudo cp -r libasound.so /usr/lib64/libasound.so
[21:23] <opt1k> gnute: maybe that helps
[21:24] <bujar> how do i get permissions to open a .conf file?
[21:24] <Jack_Sparrow> nkei0 sudo nano    or gksudo gedit
[21:24] <_Zeus_> bujar: use sudo
[21:24] <Mr_Fixit> is it normal to have 250+ IPs in EtherApe??
[21:24] <Coder7> Mr_Fixit: that probably depends on the environment
[21:24] <RandyboY> How can i get my fingerprint reader working on my Aspire 6920 in Ubuntu? The touchpad and light "dimmer"(Fn-key+ some key) isnt working properly either...
[21:25] <jjrh> Hello, I was wondering; does anyone know where stuff like wireless logs are kept in ubuntu systems?
[21:25] <lolmac> hi, jjrh
[21:25] <bill--22> I have a problem with network manager, it can't save the wep key. Every boot it ask me to rewrite it.
[21:25] <Mr_Fixit> well my environment is not very active atm
[21:25] <slackpipe> hello, if a usb drive is removed improperly, is there a way to remove the icon from the desktop without rebooting?
[21:25] <lolmac> hi, slackpipe
[21:25] <Jack_Sparrow> RandyboY Thank you for holding down the repeats and for your patience on your issue
[21:25] <RandyboY> :)
[21:25] <Prose> bill--22: does speak about keyrings when asking ?
[21:25] <_Zeus_> slackpipe: sudo umount /dev/sdxx
[21:25] <artti> What commands to use, to see if graphics drivers are correct
[21:25] <frankb> I have problem to save the SSID with graphical interfcae
[21:26] <_Zeus_> where xx is what label was assigned to the drive
[21:26] <opt1k> is sendmail-bin the package from sendmail.org?
[21:26] <slackpipe> _Zeus_: the drive isn't mounted anymore
[21:26] <RandyboY> Jack_Sparrow, waiting for others to join since i dont get response on my issue :)
[21:26] <xukun> Coder7, did you did that in the preferences of vlc or in system - Preferences - Sound?
[21:26] <_Zeus_> slackpipe: and you still have an icon on the desktop?
[21:26] <_Zeus_> slackpipe: what happens if you click on it?
[21:26] <slackpipe> _Zeus_: yep
[21:26] <Coder7> xukun: vlc preferences
[21:26] <Jack_Sparrow> RandyboY np...  Just letting you know we see you, even though we dont have an answer
[21:27] <slackpipe> _Zeus_: i can right click it, just tells me it can't get any info on the drive other than the size and free space
[21:27] <bill--22> Prose: no keyrings. It ask for wep key
[21:27] <opt1k> and yeah.. if i install exim4-daemon-heavy which has sendmail in it can i then use sendmail as a separate app or only thru exim?
[21:27] <_Zeus_> RandyboY: I would post in the Dell Support section of ubuntuforums.org
[21:27] <Diabolic> Ok.  Install done, but on first boot it boots into something called BusyBox with initramfs.  What's going on?
[21:27] <HaZ> Where is the folder for bitchx where i can edit the configs etc
[21:27] <RandyboY> _Zeus_, dell?
[21:27] <Coder7> xukun: it's under audio->output modules, but you have to have advanced options checked
[21:27] <_Zeus_> RandyboY: didn't you have a dell?
[21:27] <_Zeus_> or was it an acer...
[21:28] <RandyboY> _Zeus_, im stating it is an acer aspire 6920 :)
[21:28] <_Zeus_> oh sorry
[21:28] <_Zeus_> just post in general help then
[21:28] <Prose> bill--22: I guess you should set up a keyring then
[21:28] <Winston_SmithVT> Jack_Sparrow: Well I'm now in linux, used the command line to get connected. So i'm thinking it's a problem with the network manager
[21:28] <RandyboY> _Zeus_, done that too :)
[21:29] <bill--22> prose: how i can do that???
[21:29] <Winston_SmithVT> What program can I use other then network manager to connect to wireless networks? is netapplet any good?
[21:29] <xukun> Coder7, I don't have pulseaudio in the vlc preference
[21:29] <danbh_intrepid> Winston_SmithVT: you could just use /etc/network/interfaces
[21:29] <RandyboY> _Zeus_, i see now im only stating Aspire ;) Lemme change to Acer Aspire ;)
[21:29] <nkei0> hey it still won't let me save because it's on a read-only disk, anyway to change that?
[21:30] <_Zeus_> that's fine, mate.  i was just not paying attention
[21:30] <_Zeus_> nkei0: where are you seeing that?
[21:30] <jjrh> Winston_SmithVT: it's worth learning to do. I have never had much luck with the guis.
[21:30] <nkei0> _Zeus_: when i try to save the boot.ini
[21:30] <_Zeus_> nkei0: is this in ubuntu?  use sudo to edit it
[21:30] <Prose> bill--22: well the thing is that if youre using network manager, a keyring should already have been created, AFAIK
[21:30] <_Zeus_> try gksu gedit <path>/boot.ini
[21:31] <nkei0> yes it's in ubuntu, i used gksu gedit to edit it
[21:31] <_Zeus_> can you post the line from your /etc/fstab corresponding to your windows partition?
[21:31] <nkei0> _Zeus_: I have no idea what that is.  I'm still pretty new to all of this.
[21:31] <RandyboY> Jack_Sparrow, ive been helping in a support chan myself, so i know a little about the repeating in larger intervals to let people join and maybe be able to help :)
[21:32] <bujar> thanks dudes u r great
[21:32] <bujar> :)
[21:32] <Prose> bill--22: I really don't have experience with this, but first stop for you (and an easy one) should be to go to System - Preferenes - Keyrings (Something like that)
[21:32] <_Zeus_> nkei0: could you paste the contents of the file /etc/fstab?
[21:32] <AndyR> lo all
[21:32] <_Zeus_> !hi
[21:32] <bujar> anyone can suggest a good 3d graph plotter that is easy to use?
[21:32] <blackvd> I installed the nvidia beta driver(177.70) under Hardy on my compaq laptop as the default drivers don't support my gfx card. Every time I reboot the driver doesn't load so I have to reinstall it. Anyone know why this might be?
[21:32] <langzn> Hi all

[21:40] <draginxx> HELP ~ I've put a civ2 CD in my laptop and now I can't eject the disc tray on my laptop :(
[21:40] <langzn> how do i get full rights over my pc
[21:40] <adac> does someone know a ftp program where i can copy folders on the ftp server into another? gftp does not offer me such an option... filezilla also not
[21:40] <_Zeus_> adac: you could use Places > Connect to server
[21:40] <Jack_Sparrow> !gksudo > langzn
[21:40] <tomas__> Mr jorrit nothing happened when i used lspci | grep network
[21:40] <jorrit> draginxx, umount the CD first, then press eject
[21:40] <icltlfatppl> Nutzebahn: ffmpeg is probably what you want.
[21:40] <benselb> Is there a way to cancel the filesystem checking on boot?
[21:41] <ralf_> hi jack
[21:41] <danbh_intrepid> benselb: esc
[21:41] <Jack_Sparrow> !fsck
[21:41] <_Zeus_> benselb: it should say press any key to skip
[21:41] <benselb> It doesn't.
[21:41] <adac> _Zeus_: ok I try
[21:41] <langzn> thanks jack
[21:41] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[21:41] <draginxx> jorrit, tried it, it gives me an error message saying theirs no media
[21:41] <benselb> Wait, sorry, I'm running 7.10
[21:41] <benselb> I keep forgetting to say that when I come here
[21:41] <Nutzebahn> Does it have a GUI?
[21:41] <_Zeus_> adac: yw
[21:41] <jorrit> tomas__: sorry, my bad, make that lspci | grep Ethernet
[21:42] <benselb> So rather, is there a way to skip FS checking on boot on 7.10?
[21:42] <Flannel> benselb: `sudo touch /fastboot` before you shutdown
[21:42] <Mustafa_Kaya> how can i get "inf" file ofthe driver of intel pro 2200bg's
[21:42] <Mustafa_Kaya> ?
[21:42] <jorrit> draginxx: Can you see the CD in a file manager?
[21:42] <tomas__> jorrit: this is result 02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR242x 802.11abg Wireless PCI Express Adapter (rev 01)
[21:42] <tomas__> 08:07.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8139/8139C/8139C+ (rev 10)
[21:42] <benselb> Flannel: Yes, but I can't exactly predict when I'm going to need to do that
[21:42] <ralf_> why u not try bsd?
[21:42] <draginxx> jorrit, when I go to Places > COmputer it shows a DVDRW Drive
[21:43] <draginxx> which is correct
[21:43] <langzn> Jack still having a problem
[21:43] <Mustafa_Kaya> is there anyone who can help me?
[21:43] <benselb> I'm mostly worried about when I go into a class, turn on my laptop, and find out suddenly that I have to wait 30 minutes for it to check the disk
[21:43] <Flannel> benselb: You can use tune2fs to change the frequency, and you can force fscks on boot at times when you can, to prevent it.
[21:43] <langzn> im trying to share a folder
[21:43] <ralf_> with what?
[21:43] <ricmik> [  886.144580] usb 7-1: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 18  [  891.162650] usb 7-1: device descriptor read/8, error -110
[21:44] <jorrit> draginxx, first close all file dialogs and terminals that are using the drive, secondly, right click on the DVDRom drive and click unmount
[21:44] <Jack_Sparrow> !who > ralf_
[21:44] <ricmik> I get this error when I connect a USB drive
[21:44] <bobertdos> benselb: Is it running a FULL check everytime you boot? If so, you can use tune2fs to set the maximal and current mount counts so it won't bother you very often.
[21:44] <HaZ> Where is the folder for bitchx where i can edit the configs etc
[21:44] <Mustafa_Kaya> how can i get en inf file?
[21:44] <benselb> bobertdos: No, just every thirty boots
[21:44] <Flannel> HaZ: bitchX isn't in Ubuntu, so its unlikely you have one.
[21:44] <ralf_> ok
[21:44] <benselb> Which is still every few days since I have to turn it on/off a lot
[21:45] <tomas__> jorrit: what i should do next?
[21:45] <jorrit> tomas__:Check out the following website: http://madwifi.org/
[21:45] <bobertdos> benselb: Then set the maximal count higher and the current count to zero.
[21:45] <benselb> And just changing check frequencies really isn't acceptable
[21:45] <Jack_Sparrow> benselb if you touch them when you have the time, they wont fsck when you need your pc
[21:45] <benselb> Since I *need* it to turn on when I turn it on, not check the disk
[21:45] <tomas__> jorrit: oki, thanks :)
[21:45] <draginxx> jorrit, tried, it only allows me to "Mount VOlume" and "Eject"
[21:45] <draginxx> both give me the same error =/
[21:45] <b3lorixx> Ubuntu 8.04, Terminal freezes as soon as i open it
[21:46] <jorrit> draginxx, When you click "eject", does it eject?
[21:46] <draginxx> no
[21:46] <benselb> Getting into class, turning it on, and then going "OH GOD" is never an option :/
[21:46] <Mustafa_Kaya> how can i find the inf file of a driver??
[21:46] <RandyboY> How can i get my fingerprint reader working on my Acer Aspire 6920 in Ubuntu? The touchpad and light "dimmer"(Fn-key+ some key) isnt working properly either...
[21:46] <benselb> Even if it only happens rarely
[21:46] <Mustafa_Kaya> how can i find the inf file of a driver??
[21:46] <draginxx> jorrit, it says "There's probably no media in the drive"
[21:46] <Flannel> benselb: Again, set it to a length of time instead of a number of boots, and then force a fsck whenever its convienent.
[21:46] <draginxx> Which doesnt make sense, since I should be able to eject my CD tray with or without a CD in it
[21:46] <Jack_Sparrow> Mustafa_Kaya Please slow down the repeating
[21:46] <Mustafa_Kaya> how can i find the inf file of a driver??
[21:46] <jorrit> draginxx, try eject -r on the command-line
[21:46] <Nutzebahn> Randyboy: I want an answer to the question myself.
[21:47] <b3lorixx> Mustafa_Kayla, Stop spamming please, someone will get to your question
[21:47] <Flannel> RandyboY: Try using thinkfinger
[21:47] <draginxx> jorrit, just typed it in..it's "hanging"
[21:47] <b3lorixx> ﻿Ubuntu 8.04, Terminal freezes as soon as i open it Anyone?
[21:47] <RandyboY> Flannel, i have tried. Tats only written for Dell, IBM/lenovo and Toshiba :-\
[21:47] <Jack_Sparrow> Mustafa_Kaya google your hardware or see our hardware page.  Better questions make for better answers
[21:48] <jorrit> draginxx, You can kill an unresponsive program with ^C
[21:48] <Nutzebahn> Randyboy: I heard about fprint: http://www.reactivated.net/fprint/wiki/Main_Page
[21:48] <Flannel> RandyboY: It's written forbrands of fingerprint readers, not particular computer brands.
[21:48] <jorrit> draginxx, You can kill an unresponsive program with ^c
[21:48] <Mustafa_Kaya> Jack_Sparrow: i did!
[21:48] <RandyboY> Flannel, it sais so in the README and it will not work, atleast on my laptop.
[21:48] <xmagixx> i got 5.1 surround sound it works in windows but ubuntu swaps center/lfe with surroundRL/RR how can i switch them around ? also when i use speaker-test -c 6 -D plug:surround51 i can hear RR/RL is swapped with center/lfe
[21:48] <beric> Hi! I have VR330 laptop with GeForce Go 6100 card. If I enable restricted drivers, it completly forzes after few minutes. I searched on the forums for solution, but couldnt find any. Anyone knows a workaround how can use my card fully?
[21:49] <Flannel> RandyboY: alright.  Then it wont work on your laptop
[21:49] <benselb> 16:46 < Flannel> benselb: Again, set it to a length of time instead of a number  of boots, and then force a fsck whenever its convienent.
[21:49] <benselb> Hmm, what do you mean by force a fsck?
[21:49] <b3lorixx> beric, i will help you give me a minute
[21:49] <Jack_Sparrow> Mustafa_Kaya All I have seen is you spamming the channel and not asking a good question with the info needed to answer it
[21:49] <beric> Ok, thanks
[21:49] <RandyboY> Flannel, maybe someone knows another driver. Thats what i hope to find out in here.
[21:49] <Flannel> benselb: `sudo touch /forcefsck` then reboot, and it'll do its scheduled fsck then, and reset the counters.
[21:49] <Jack_Sparrow> !fsck > benselb
[21:49] <benselb> Ah, thanks Flannel
[21:50] <J-n> In a dual monitor setup is there a way to spesify on which screen a program starts up on?
[21:50] <Flannel> J-n: Check out devilspie
[21:50] <xmagixx> i got 5.1 surround sound it works in windows but ubuntu swaps center/lfe with surroundRL/RR how can i switch them around ? also when i use speaker-test -c 6 -D plug:surround51 i can hear RR/RL is swapped with center/lfe      i hear center in RL RR in lfe and LFE in RR

[21:50] <phoenixz> Hi there.. My dad just booted the ubuntu 8.04 live CD... does this one run an SSH server by default?
[21:50] <Mustafa_Kaya> Jack_Sparrow: cuz all these technicians are far away from developing user friendly things
[21:50] <J-n> Thanks a ton Flannel :)
 draginxx, You can kill an unresponsive program with ^c - in terminal?
[21:51] <Jack_Sparrow> !ot > Mustafa_Kaya
[21:51] <guntbert> !repeat | xmagixx
[21:51] <Mustafa_Kaya> or engineers of whatever
[21:51] <phoenixz> Or better.. is it possible, running the live CD, to install an ssh server with apt-get install open-ssh-server, and then access that system remotely using ssh?
[21:51] <beric> GeForce Go 6100
[21:52] <Firefishe> Where can I find a virgin ubuntu sources.list ?  I'm changing from one distro to another.
[21:52] <Jack_Sparrow> Firefishe Get one for the correct release
[21:52] <bobertdos> I get asked this question a lot and I want to have a better answer onhand for people, so: How does one check (preferably via the terminal) which module is associated with a give hardware device?
[21:52] <jorrit> draginxx: Yes, Ctrl-c, or mostly written as ^c terminates the process you are currently running in your terminal.
[21:53] <guntbert> phoenixz: (1) I don't think so, (2) why not, I#d say try it :)
[21:53] <guntbert> *I'd
[21:53] <ricmik> I've tried to rmmod and modprobe ehci_hcd, but I still get this message when connecting an USB drive: usb 1-3: device descriptor read/64, error -110
[21:53] <ricmik> it worked yesterday
[21:53] <draginxx> jorrit, didn't do anything =/ either way it didnt fix the problem, I tried kiling all wine processes too
[21:54] <Firefishe> Jack_Sparrow:  I'm changing from <a certain distro> to another....by way of the other.  Older laptop install.
[21:54] <phoenixz> guntbert: well, the thing is that its my DAD... read: he barely knows how to swithc on the computer.. and he is some 10.000 KM away from here.. so I have to write him step by step what he has to do... I'd rather know now if this is going to work or not  :)
[21:54] <Jack_Sparrow> Firefishe Fresh installs are your best choice for success
[21:55] <b3lorixx> OK SOMEONE please my terminal keeps freezing on me as soon as i open it anyone
[21:56] <Jack_Sparrow> b3lorixx What changes did you make since it last worked?  HAve you changed your sources.list, added things manually etc
[21:56] <b3lorixx> Jack_Sparrow: the only thing i did was last night after i just installed a fresh install was install my nvidia drive
[21:56] <b3lorixx> driver*
[21:56] <Jack_Sparrow> phoenixz what are you trying to accomplish..
[21:57] <Firefishe> Jack_Sparrow:  I'm aware of that.  However, this laptop is an old P-III-m on an old Compaq Evo N600c laptop that has been loaned to me.  I tried the cd-fresh approach, but it wouldn't install.  I had to use an older, similar-to-ubuntu, cd--which worked--and now I just want to change the sources and work from that angle.
[21:57] <Jack_Sparrow> b3lorixx Since it is a fresh install I would do it again and test it before messing with the video driver.. Which driver and HOW did you install it
[21:57] <guntbert> phoenixz: sorry, I misunderstood :), but as far as I know, ssh-server isn't activated by default, I'm not sure if it is installed. And as I haven't used a live CD for a long time, I won't be of much help to you :(
[21:58] <phoenixz> Jack_Sparrow: He is on the other side of the world, just started to work with windows which sucks because after 2 days the compu died of virusses.. he wants to try linux after my suggestion, but he will need help.. I want to see if I can help him remotely over SSH
[21:58] <b3lorixx> Jack_Sparrow nvidia_glx_new and using sudo apt-get install
[21:58] <opt1k> Jack_Sparrow: can i remotely connect to my ubuntu box from my mobile phone?
[21:58] <phoenixz> Jack_Sparrow: guntbert: AFAIK, it should be possible in the live CD  to install things with apt-get, be it that it will all dissappear after a reset.. thats not a big problem for now
[21:58] <Jack_Sparrow> phoenixz If you need a test case I can lend you some time and still be online with my other box
[21:59] <Jack_Sparrow> phoenixz agreed
[21:59] <draginxx> jorrit, any more ideas?
[21:59] <Jack_Sparrow> opt1k no idea
[21:59] <draginxx> I could try windows quick fix aka...reboot :P
[22:00] <phoenixz> Jack_Sparrow: but.. if I install openssh-server, with what account could I login? what account exists on the linux live CD? with what password?
[22:00] <_Zeus_> draginxx: the better ubuntu fix is to restart x
[22:00] <daniel_john> I would like to report a bug with the report a problem  program.  How do I do this ?
[22:00] <hoop> hello

[22:01] <daniel_john> thanks
[22:01] <gpled> see that a new vlc came out.  do i need to do anything for it to show up as an update?
[22:01] <phoenixz> Jack_Sparrow: which would be "the" account then?
[22:01] <emma> how does one find what videodriver they are using. (not video card, but video driver)
[22:01] <faemir> emma, look at the line in xorg.conf
[22:01] <seanAtheros> Anyone here solved Atheros problems before?  I've been through the restricted drivers, madwifi, and even ndiswrapper with no solution.
[22:02] <Jack_Sparrow> gpled It wont be there..
[22:02] <gpled> running 8.04
[22:02] <emma> I'm using +1 there is nothing (literally) in xorg.conf anymore.
[22:02] <faemir> gpled, check backports?
[22:02] <eventmaster> what must i do if i want my system on alsa
[22:02] <soded> _Zeus_: how do i know what the ID of the process is?
[22:02] <faemir> emma, ah, dunno then
[22:02] <Jack_Sparrow> phoenixz I assume the install / setup of the server will let hinm create the account you will use

[22:08] <Taime1> this livecd keeps restartin x and taking me back to the login screen. it just will not take me to the desktop WHAT GIVES?

[22:08] <hoop> Jack_Sparrow, it tells me `incorrect password`
[22:09] <erisco> I want something that can give me a tree directory view...
[22:09] <erisco> a GUI at that, not command line
[22:09] <Jack_Sparrow> hoop if you are in livecd knoppix, it is not going to know your old password.. try it with none
[22:10] <hoop> Jack_Sparrow, no way, it won`t let me
[22:10] <hoop> write
[22:10] <Jack_Sparrow> hoop knoppix used to have an option to enable root access.. (I may be wrong, it has been awhile)

[22:21] <tehboriz> i tried retrying it and reinserting
[22:21] <St0rmCr0w> jaggy: YOu can try !ls /etc/*release ...if it finds any files (ex. readhat-release, lsb-release) the  file may contain the information you are looking fot
[22:21] <Jack_Sparrow> keevie firestarter may let you do it

[22:23] <Jack_Sparrow> kalapoika Glad to hear it
[22:23] <tehboriz> "the installation cd rom could not be mounted. this is prolly cause it's not in drive. retry?" when i press ok it says the same question. i tried reinserting the disc and it didn't work
[22:23] <chubs_> !anyone | webmanya
[22:23] <_Zeus_> tehboriz: what says this?
[22:24] <tehboriz> _Zeus_: my ubuntu server installation
[22:24] <kevinO> tehboriz, ignore that, i see you already asked your question
[22:24] <octoberdan> Why wouldn't Apache2 look to /usr/lib/apache2/modules/ for modules by default?
[22:24] <kevinO> tehboriz, what installation cd are you talking about
[22:24] <quelmie> when I scan for networks in kwifimanager it lists my router, now how do i connect to it?
[22:24] <_Zeus_> tehboriz: is this a live cd?
[22:24] <tehboriz> i'm using the ubuntu installation cd that i got off waterloo
[22:24] <tehboriz> no i got a normal version server installation cd
[22:24] <octoberdan> Shouldn't it load them by default? Or do I have to load each one explicitly?
[22:25] <kevinO> tehboriz, have you tested the cd?
[22:25] <tehboriz> nope
[22:25] <tehboriz> i assumed my cdrw was fine
[22:25] <webmanya> I have an ASUS F3Sc Laptop and couldn't magane to get the sound work checked the forums and tried what they say but it is not working.
[22:25] <kevinO> can you get to the menu and select it?
[22:25] <tehboriz> is there a possible problem with it?
[22:25] <tehboriz> yeah hold on brb
[22:25] <nmcbride> can someone verify that doing 'cat /etc/issue' print the ubuntu version?
[22:25] <J-n> !name
[22:25] <_Zeus_> nmcbride: yes
[22:25] <nmcbride> _Zeus_: thanks
[22:25] <kevinO> sometimes a burn can be disruted and not finished properly
[22:26] <_Zeus_> nmcbride: lsb_release -a giver more info
[22:26] <kevinO> = bad disc
[22:26] <kevinO> tehboriz, select check cd for defects
[22:26] <octoberdan> The answer to my question is I need to load each individually
[22:26] <g0tcha> how can i make sure if phpmyadmin installed correctly?
[22:27] <Jack_Sparrow> tehboriz Is the a Dell or HP box?
[22:27] <Jack_Sparrow> g0tcha Did you install from repos or manually
[22:27] <nmcbride> _Zeus_: is that on every distro?

[22:28] <xix> what are the danger?
[22:28] <xix> dangers*
[22:28] <opt1k> security breaches =)
[22:28] <Jack_Sparrow> xix SOmeone taking over your system and wiping out everything on it or worse
[22:28] <kalapoika> Jack_Sparrow but what do I do now ? Installation is not stable still.
[22:28] <xix> oh ok, thanks for that :0
[22:28] <kevinO> xix, you are potentially giving the world root access to your machine
[22:28] <kevinO> :D
[22:28] <Jack_Sparrow> kalapoika look up your hardware in our hardware page
[22:29] <tehboriz> kevinO: same thing happens when i try to check the cd for defects
[22:29] <xix> uhh.. before I logout from root
[22:29] <tehboriz> it just says cannot mount etc
[22:29] <opt1k> when i run mutt i get the following error: /var/mail/opt1k: Too many levels of symbolic links (errno = 40)
[22:29] <J-n> I would also suggest not using the root account for anything.. no real need.
[22:29] <opt1k> what should i do about it?
[22:29] <xix> how did you kow I am root?
[22:29] <opt1k> xix: /whois xix
[22:29] <tehboriz> Jack_Sparrow it's my custom built server on a celeron crap thing
[22:29] <Jack_Sparrow> xix I am special..
[22:29] <kevinO> tehboriz, i would try and reburn another disc and at a slower speed
[22:29] <Jack_Sparrow> tehboriz np.. just asking
[22:29] <opt1k> and btw it says you're root when you enter an irc channel
[22:29] <J-n> except for when you need to do su / sudo etc
[22:29] <tehboriz> i had the slowest speed kevinO
[22:29] <arooni> i have ubuntu hardy... and i just threw a trendnet wireless 6 pci adapter (TEW-423PI) into a desktop... but ubuntu doesnt seem to recognize it... help?
[22:29] <SebNaitsabes> xix:  for your safety do not log in as root all the time
[22:30] <SebNaitsabes> xix:  only do sudo and su  for tasks you are doing
[22:31] <tehboriz> i'm burning again at 4X
[22:31] <tehboriz> is it possibly a problem with IDE, kevinO
[22:32] <Scunizi> tehboriz: stupid question. is the cd rom the first in the list of bootable devices?
[22:32] <tehboriz> yes Scunizi i went into bios to change
[22:32] <tehboriz> or else it wouldnt show the ubuntu screen at all :p
[22:32] <Jack_Sparrow> arooni It probably will never see it
[22:32] <arooni> Jack_Sparrow, why not?
[22:33] <Jack_Sparrow> arooni It requires special drivers and drivers for those are few and far between in linux
[22:33] <Scunizi> tehboriz: just came in the diagnostics late.. I didn't catch any of your previous explainations..
[22:33] <unop> opt1k, it probably means /var/mail/opt1k is a symlink to another symlink (and so on) - you have a couple of options.  1) this file shouldn't normally be a symlink - so you can delete it and recreate a new blank file (with touch)  2) find out where the symlinks eventually take you, then symlink directly to that target.
[22:33] <tehboriz> Scunizi: ah that's okay
[22:34] <opt1k> unop: i'll go with the first option, too tired for anything else =) thx!
[22:35] <webmanya> I have an ASUS F3SC laptop and installed Ubuntu 8.04 and everything works accept the sound. http://pastebin.com/d21c8dc7 this is my "aplay -l" output. can anyone help please? Also I tried the forums but not worked.
[22:35] <manixrock> is ubuntu better than openSuse? Why? Is it for noobs or power users?
[22:35] <SebNaitsabes> depends
[22:35] <Jack_Sparrow> webmanya try /j #alsa
[22:35] <SebNaitsabes> ,but yes Ubuntu is good for beginers
[22:35] <SebNaitsabes> ,but  it can also be used by power users since the commandline
[22:35] <Jack_Sparrow> manixrock offtopic.. thanks
[22:35] <unop> manixrock, it's just another distribution - not aimed at any particular set of users
[22:35] <oklinux> hey Jack_Sparrow
[22:35] <oklinux> longtime no see
[22:36] <webmanya> thanks jack
[22:36] <kevinO> tehboriz, do you have any other bootable cd's to test your cdrom, like a junk windows cd
[22:36] <Taime1> How Can I Get ubuntu to load a specific video driver when using the livecd?
[22:36] <manixrock> I currently have openSuse, and trying to see if Ubuntu is better for me..
[22:36] <Jack_Sparrow> hey...  I know.. I have the day off.. no classes to teach
[22:36] <tehboriz> yeah kevinO the windows cd's work
[22:36] <tehboriz> so i'm guessing it's a bad burn
[22:36] <oklinux> so u run ubuntu Jack_Sparrow ?
[22:36] <Jack_Sparrow> manixrock the price is right, get it and try it out
[22:36] <kevinO> :|
[22:36] <kalapoika> Jack_Sparrow it's a packet computer I have no clue of the components.
[22:36] <tehboriz> i'm burning another one kevinO
[22:36] <arooni> Jack_Sparrow, where can i learn what cards are compatible with the pc?
[22:36] <kevinO> ok good luck
[22:36] <tehboriz> thanks
[22:36] <arooni> Jack_Sparrow, with ubuntu rather... and how did you know ubuntu will never see it
[22:36] <Jack_Sparrow> oklinux I invented the internet and I control all of it..  yea right
[22:36] <shuttle> jacj u are from cononical?
[22:37] <Jack_Sparrow> !hardware
[22:37] <oklinux> Jack_Sparrow, pm ?
[22:37] <opt1k> unop:  cannot remove `/var/mail/opt1k': Too many levels of symbolic links
[22:37] <manixrock> Jack_Sparrow: I will, but will test multiple distros, so wanted some info to see which I will try first
[22:37] <kevinO> tehboriz, did you verify that the download is good using md5sum?
[22:37] <opt1k> so... i can't even remove that o_o
[22:37] <Jack_Sparrow> arooni It isnt something that will have a broad user base needed to have someone spend the time to write it
[22:37] <tehboriz> no rofl kevinO i dont' even know what that is
[22:37] <unop> opt1k, tried  rm -f ... ?
[22:37] <opt1k> yep
[22:37] <Alpha232> Anyone know of a remote modem solution for XP/Ubuntu, ie, modem is installed in ubuntu and a bunch of XP hosts share the pool of modems
[22:37] <kevinO> i dont know if there are md5sums for ubuntu images?
[22:37] <kevinO> anyone know?
[22:37] <arooni> Jack_Sparrow, but how did you know my card will likely never work
[22:38] <Jack_Sparrow> manixrock /j #ubuntu-offtopic
[22:38] <g0tcha> so is there a way to make sure myphpadmin installed correctly?
[22:38] <unop> opt1k, what does ls -l /var/mail/opt1k give you?
[22:38] <Jack_Sparrow> arooni JUst my personal opinion
[22:38] <shuttle> why ubunty destroy the grub loader after reboot?
[22:38] <opt1k> unop: ls: cannot access /var/mail/opt1k: Too many levels of symbolic links
[22:38] <EatShrooms> halp
[22:39] <unop> opt1k, sheesh.  ls -l /var/mail/*
[22:39] <kevinO> tehboriz, if you download an .iso and the matching md5sum file, put them in the same folder and do the command "md5sum filename.iso" and i think that will verfy if the download downloaded correctly
[22:39] <EatShrooms> how do I install shit using terminal
[22:39] <kevinO> EatShrooms, i dont think you want to do that
[22:39] <tehboriz> i'm on vista reight now kevinO lol
[22:39] <Jack_Sparrow> EatShrooms Please watch your language.. family friendly room.. thanks
[22:39] <tehboriz> brb
[22:39] <opt1k> unop: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 2008-09-15 22:49 /var/mail -> spool/mail
[22:39] <Taime1> EatShrooms: sudo apt-get install <package>
[22:39] <unop> tehboriz, kevinO, you still have to compare the hash returned by md5sum against one that has already been verified
[22:39] <EatShrooms> ok thanks
[22:39] <oklinux> Jack_Sparrow, pm ?

[22:45] <jayde_drag0n> i have a bizarre problem, i can no longer download anything in firefox via clicking unless i "right click save as" and despite my searching, i cannot figure out how to fix or re-enable this
[22:45] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[22:46] <shuttle> if i use all_generic_ide it works?
[22:46] <Jack_Sparrow> shuttle Sometimes, but there may be other options needed, let me give you the other main two changes I use
[22:46] <Jack_Sparrow> # To get live cd to run this often helps..At start or install press F6 and remove Quiet and Splash from the command line. If it still fails.. Repeat and after removing quiet and splash add noapic acpi=off before the "--"
[22:47] <RussianPhysicsGu> Hi, I am having a problem mounting one of my external hard drives - in /media, there is now a permanent folder called "External_1" which I cannot delete (I've tried sudo rm -rf /media/External_1), and so my hard drive gets mounted at "/media/External_1_", which causes problems because a lot of things are associated with the hard drive. Does anyone know the possible cause for this, and how to fix it?
[22:48] <Pnux> !umount
[22:48] <RussianPhysicsGu> Pnux: I've done umount on it, it says that there is no hard drive named "External_1" mounted
[22:49] <benjick> !mount
[22:49] <Jack_Sparrow> RussianPhysicsGu create new mount point and edit /etc/fstab
[22:50] <RussianPhysicsGu> Jack_Sparrow: there's no evidence of the External_1 in fstab, and it won't let me mount it to /media/External_1
[22:50] <RussianPhysicsGu> It insists on adding it ti External_1_
[22:50] <benjick> Add it to fstab to the right path
[22:50] <Jack_Sparrow> RussianPhysicsGu create new mount point
[22:50] <Jack_Sparrow> :)
[22:52] <Jack_Sparrow> thanks benjick
[22:52] <jayde_drag0n> ﻿ hey i'm having a really bizarre problem. nothing downloads anymore in firefox via clicking.. i have to specifically "right click save as" or it just won't download at all
[22:52] <benjick> What happens elsewise?
[22:52] <benjick> Jack_Sparrow: np, did it work?
[22:52] <jayde_drag0n> benjick: was that directed at me?
[22:53] <Jack_Sparrow> It wasnt my issue, just thaking you for answering while I was busy
[22:53] <benjick> jayde_drag0n: No :>
[22:53] <benjick> Jack_Sparrow: ok :>
[22:53] <RussianPhysicsGu> Jack_Sparrow: I created a new mount point in fstab, plugged in the drive, and now it tells me "you are not privileged to mount /media/External_1"
[22:53] <Jack_Sparrow> RussianPhysicsGu You need to create new mount point in  /media
[22:54] <benjick> Jack_Sparrow: OH, sorry, irssi in a small terminal makes me go crazy with all this text
[22:54] <rconan> how can I add the intrepid repos but pin packages to hardy by default?
[22:54] <Jack_Sparrow> rconan You are asking for trouble
[22:54] <benjick> jayde_drag0n: The "What happens" was to you
[22:54] <rconan> Jack_Sparrow, yes... but I would still like to do it
[22:55] <RussianPhysicsGu> Jack_sparrow: It worked! THank you!
[22:55] <Jack_Sparrow> RussianPhysicsGu np
[22:55] <kzona> hi
[22:55] <lolmac> hi, kzona
[22:55] <Jack_Sparrow> thanks to benjick  too
[22:55] <arooni> to get my wireless card working; what about dloading the linux driver for kernel 2.6.22 : http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=1&PFid=1&Level=6&Conn=5&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false&Downloads=true

[22:55] <xfm> hi
[22:55] <lolmac> hi, xfm
[22:55] <jayde_drag0n> benjick: OH.. lol sorry.. i can click all i want SOMETIMES a download window will appear but if i click save.. it just goes away.. nothing saves UNLESS i specifically go thru the actions of "right click save target" then it will download and to where i want it to go
[22:56] <Jack_Sparrow> jayde_drag0n sounds like a buggered FF install
[22:56] <xfm> I am looking for a plugin for ff3 or epiphany to download a file from multiples sources
[22:56] <Jack_Sparrow> jayde_drag0n have you done a locate or find to be sure it isnt going somewhere
[22:57] <kzona> I'm looking for people how accept doing an interview. I'm fluent in Portuguese, French and average in english. IT's about some considerations about FOSS. I'm looking for devellopers more than users. anyone is interested ? or have a little time to give me ? thx
[22:57] <t3hub3rk1tten> I've got a Ubuntu drive running out of free space, and I need to copy the entire os over to another drive. Before when I've tried using dd or rsync it's caused a black hole where my hard drives break the laws of physics. Any suggestions? :P
[22:57] <jayde_drag0n> Jack_Sparrow: no, i assumed since there was no progress on a file.. AND that it did not show up in the "downloads" window.. that it just went away.. but on top of that i haven't seen the files in anyplae obvious.. and i wouldn't know why it would just randomly download elsewhere than the target location.. and do so with no trace
[22:57] <unop> kzona, you're offtopic - please ask in #ubuntu-offtopic
[22:58] <kzona> ok, sorry
[22:58] <arooni> how can i make sure i have all dependencies installed before compiling something
[22:58] <Daisuke_Ido> apt-get build-dep <package>
[22:58] <Daisuke_Ido> but always try to use pre-built packages
[22:59] <Jack_Sparrow> jayde_drag0n Just a thought that it was d/l just not where you expected it and that there were no permission issues with where you were sending it
[22:59] <EteroGenio> \attach irc.tin.it
[22:59] <jayde_drag0n> Jack_Sparrow: also i haven't done any installs to ff since i first loaded ubuntu... and that has been quite some time.. this was a recent occurrence .. notable tho.. i "think" it coincided with my windows install.. but thats very bizarre and random
[23:00] <timo> I seem to have lots of crashes now, that i update the system ?
[23:00] <timo> Is it just me
[23:00] <Jack_Sparrow> timo Sounds like you have some unsupported repos in your sources list
[23:01] <Jack_Sparrow> timo Please pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list
[23:01] <timo> How ? Keep seing crash report detected and i report them hoping its fixed when I update agian
[23:02] <g0tcha> Jack_Sparrow, is there a reason why mysql wont let me set a root passwd after i installed it?
[23:03] <timo> best of luck http://pastebin.com/m2e5d1b7f
[23:03] <jayde_drag0n> Jack_Sparrow: should i go thru synaptics and to a complete reinstall? and if i do what will be the result for me? loss of plugins, bookmarks, cookies passwords etc etc
[23:03] <Jack_Sparrow> g0tcha I dont do mysql
[23:03] <opt1k> how do i authorize my ip? i got an error report "The ip you're using to send mail is not authorized"
[23:04] <Jack_Sparrow> jayde_drag0n  you can save bookmarks and the plugins may be the source of your issues, try disableing them first
[23:04] <bobbyd> hi
[23:04] <lolmac> hi, bobbyd
[23:05] <jayde_drag0n> Jack_Sparrow: can plugins become an issue later on like that? or is that usually a symptom of a new addition?
[23:05] <Jack_Sparrow> jayde_drag0n I cant rule out the problem as those are probably on automatic update.
[23:05] <bobbyd> under Hardy, my Dell inspiron 6400 doesn't turn off when I hibernate it. Hibernate works fine, but I have to hold down the power button for 5 seconds to make it actually turn off. Can anyone suggest a way to make it work?
[23:06] <eirik_> does anyone know anything about the "barrier=0" mount option for ext3? i came across it reading the wikipedia article on ext3

[23:07] <itsatrick> Hi, I'm trying to install the open art gallery images to OO.org.  I'm fine finding the files, but whenever I say "Add all" or select a group of files and say "Add", openoffice freezes.  Is there anything I can do so that it won't freeze?  Thanks.
[23:07] <jasmuz> Hello all
[23:07] <spunk> opt1k: that concerns your ISP. Usually you need to configure to send mail via your ISP.
[23:07] <lolmac> hi, jasmuz
[23:08] <timo> !seen POv
[23:08] <opt1k> spunk: oh.. can you help me out how to do that?
[23:08] <timo> ??
[23:08] <spunk> opt1k: which mail client are you using?
[23:09] <EatShrooms> itsatrick: I don't know, maybe reinstall openoffice?
[23:09] <opt1k> spunk: mutt
[23:09] <itsatrick> Thanks, EatShrooms.
[23:09] <itsatrick> I'll try that.
[23:09] <mlac8973> eatshrooms: why whats going on
[23:09] <jayde_drag0n> Jack_Sparrow: i disabled everything, reloaded firefox... aaaannndd... no clicky... only right click
[23:09] <timo> ﻿itsatrick: what ?
[23:10] <itsatrick> timo: Hi, I'm trying to install the open art gallery images to OO.org.  I'm fine finding the files, but whenever I say "Add all" or select a group of files and say "Add", openoffice freezes.  Is there anything I can do so that it won't freeze?  Thanks.
[23:10] <spunk> opt1k: ok. Are you traveling or at your home? Specifically, do you know which ISP you are connected to?
[23:10] <Lordveda> I have problem here with gdm and Xorg but I can't pinpoint its source. Can someone help me with it please?
[23:10] <opt1k> spunk: i'm at home, and my isp is t-com =)
[23:10] <timo> ﻿itsatrick: select one at a time see if it dose
[23:10] <aluno> dyoo
[23:10] <Lordveda> I use GDM as my login manager, in gdm I have extremely small fonts.
[23:11] <spunk> opt1k: Ok. lets see...
[23:11] <Lordveda> When I login into GNOME I get a good font size to me.
[23:11] <Lordveda> When I login into either KDE or Xfce, the font problem reappears.
[23:11] <timo> So tired of sending bus every 4 mins
[23:11] <timo> bugs*
[23:11] <Lordveda> What could possibly the problem that could cause this?\
[23:12] <itsatrick> timo: It even does it for 1 at a time after a while.
[23:12] <itsatrick> And I have thousands of images, so I think I have better things to do than upload images into OO.org. :)
[23:12] <timo> ﻿itsatrick: lol
[23:13] <spunk> opt1k: In t-home in Germany? You should check t-home's web site for info about SMTP relaying. I'll check out mutt configuration meanwhile.
[23:15] <opt1k> spunk: nope, t-com croatia, and i'll try to find the info about smtp relaying
[23:15] <spunk> opt1k: great.
[23:16] <bobbyd> anyone?
[23:16] <Shrap> bobbyd, how can I help?
[23:16] <Shrap> Or at least attempt to.
[23:16] <bobbyd> under Hardy, my Dell inspiron 6400 doesn't turn off when I hibernate it. Hibernate works fine, but I have to hold down the power button for 5 seconds to make it actually turn off. Can anyone suggest a way to make it work?
[23:17] <seanAtheros> Anyone here solved Atheros problems before?  I've been through the restricted drivers, madwifi, and even ndiswrapper with no solution.
[23:17] <timo> How do i remove all kde from gnome
[23:17] <bobbyd> timo: aptitude purge kubuntu-desktop ?
[23:17] <Shrap> No idea, bobbyd.
[23:17] <timo> thanks
[23:17] <spunk> opt1k: here is something I dug up, hope it helps: http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2007/07/08/configuring-mutt-to-use-an-alternate-mta-esmtp/
[23:18] <bobbyd> Shrap: ok thanks :)
[23:18] <chubs_> bobbyd, try enabling acpi in your grub boot options
[23:18] <opt1k> spunk: kk,ty, i'm still browsing my isp's site for some relaying info but no luck
[23:19] <spunk> opt1k: Ok, can't help you there. Good luck!
[23:19] <itsatrick> Simple solution for me: Aptitude can install the open gallery for you. :)
[23:20] <greencookie> I am using ssh to connect to a computer. Why cant I hear the songs playing in ncmpc. anyone?
[23:20] <opt1k> spunk: ty =)
[23:20] <zefyr> wow, HP 14.1" laptops have a max resolution of 1280x800
[23:20] <zefyr> what are they thinking.
[23:20] <datacrusher> how do i resize my partition with gparted? i umounted the partition, but it stills says someone is using it
[23:20] <datacrusher> is there other tool, some cli tool to do this job?
[23:20] <chubs_> zefyr, that people enjoy being able to read text
[23:21] <chubs_> datacrusher, parted (gparted is a frontend to parted)
[23:21] <itsatrick> datacrusher: My best guess is that you have something on there.  I don't think you can resize a partition that's used.
[23:21] <datacrusher> hm. so it will crash the same way saing its used
[23:22] <datacrusher> theres some files in it , its my /home partition
[23:22] <chubs_> bobbyd, there is also apparently an acpi bug in the most recent kernel, upgrading or downgrading might be the only solution
[23:22] <datacrusher> i formated and created it with a huge size, forgote to create a partition to do my backup, now i need to make another one
[23:22] <chubs_> see this thread: http://ph.ubuntuforums.com/showthread.php?s=c79044ee25a16cefa914b2afe3eb83e7&t=887820
[23:22] <olskolirc> hey guys.  how to i dot my kmix so that I can record from my sound card please
[23:22] <spunk> opt1k: search terms you could try: SMTP, mail, proxy, config, email setup, Outlook
[23:22] <bobbyd> chubs_: it's been happening across multiple kernel versions
[23:22] <greencookie> Could someone help me play my music using mpd and ssh from a remote location?>
[23:23] <chubs_> datacrusher, you can't partition a drive you're using. a livecd would be the easiest way
[23:23] <opt1k> spunk: ty, i'm on it
[23:24] <chubs_> bobbyd, how many kernel versions? how long has it been happening?
[23:24] <chubs_> try adding acpi=force to your grub options in /etc/grub/menu.lst
[23:24] <datacrusher> makes sense
[23:24] <bobbyd> chubs_: I think ever since I moved to Hardy. About 6 months at  least
[23:24] <datacrusher> ill try on the live cd. does etch does that?
[23:24] <bobbyd> chubs_: ok I'll try that
[23:24] <datacrusher> i dont got ubuntu cds arround,
[23:25] <chubs_> datacrusher, the gparted livecd works wonderfully, it's a small download and nice to have on hand if you have a spare cd
[23:25] <datacrusher> yeah... ill google it
[23:26] <onx> what are good alternatives for the networkmanager/nm applet combo? i've tried knetworkmanager and wicd. liked wicd more, looking for something similiar
[23:27] <seanAtheros> check out wifi-radar
[23:27] <seanAtheros> onx
[23:27] <chubs_> onx, why are you looking for a program similar to wicd if you like it? just curious
[23:27] <ben34> The next version of ubuntu should have this background http://img299.imageshack.us/img299/7453/screenshotbx9.png

[23:34] <AbstractScroll> Hi, may I ask why there is no package selection in ubuntu gui install? Something like in red hat. Or maybe I just havent choosen right boot options?
[23:34] <Danskmand> Aloha :-) - Does someone use asterisk together with mISDN as a FAX-solution ?
[23:34] <kitche> AbstractScroll: most likely due to ubuntu installing gnome by default with everything needed for a desktop
[23:35] <Jack_Sparrow> AbstractScroll See the alternate or minimal cd
[23:36] <AbstractScroll> Thanks, I have installed this desktop trough alternate cd. Btw I have to admit ubuntu did wonders for linux, I did use it as desktop in 2000 or something (slackware) and eventually gave up, but this is almost windows like now. Amazing
[23:38] <Danskmand> O-ooh - you used the W-word ;-)
[23:38] <DEdwards> Danskmand, useable
[23:38] <DEdwards> better?
[23:39] <Danskmand> Hehe - a lot !
[23:39] <DEdwards> Danskmand, i hate windows as well
[23:39] <onx> AbstractScroll, it's already much nicer than windows in a lot of ways
[23:39] <AbstractScroll> Well yeah, I mostly admin W systems :), although we have linux based servers also. Anyway this is actually usefull for desktop for ordinary person. Nothing needed to be compiled from source :)
[23:39] <Pnux> im not sure if this is the place to ask, but i run a program from console pretty often. For this i need to have root access, is there a way to edit this out so i dont need to type the pass in the terminal when i open the launcher?
[23:39] <DEdwards> onx, like how it works?
[23:39] <onx> if it weren't for the things that don't work...
[23:40] <BBLake> Evening everyone, i ran into some trouble with ubuntu and could use some help..What is my best resource other than this room?
[23:40] <DEdwards> BBLake, ubuntu forums
[23:40] <Pnux> ubuntuforums.org
[23:40] <BBLake> can i run a question out here and maybe you can point me the right direction on the forums?
[23:40] <Scunizi> AbstractScroll: if you want your choice of gui's you can always install xfce or kde and pick which to run at the uname/password entry screen..
[23:41] <spunk> Pnux: well, it depends. In general it is a good thing that you don't gain root access straight off, so you should consider if you really need to run your stuff as root.
[23:41] <Pnux> pnux@pnux-desktop:~$ /opt/lampp/lampp start
[23:41] <Pnux> You need to start XAMPP as root!
[23:41] <AbstractScroll> Scunizi mhm, I prefer xfce, well in the old days I used something called wmaker, it was quite nice also
[23:41] <BBLake> i installed what i thought was an ubuntu studio theme, and now it's showing edubuntu at th elogin, and is taking FOREVER to boot.  I think it installed an extra kernal
[23:41] <DEdwards> Phux, what program are you running regularly?
[23:42] <Pnux> XAMPP
[23:42] <Pnux> its just that one
[23:42] <Scunizi> AbstractScroll: to install xfce.. sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop then just change sessions on boot.
[23:42] <airtonix> Pnux, what do you need xampp for when you have php and apache in the repos?
[23:42] <unop> Pnux,  sudo /opt/lampp/lampp start
[23:42] <Pnux> mysql and perl :P
[23:42] <spunk> Pnux: well, you could change the owner to root and set the suid-bit. but that give everyone that possibility if you do not restrict the access to the program.
[23:43] <unop> Pnux, everything just mentioned is already in the repos
[23:43] <Pnux> i know unop, but i have to type the pass everytime i run it
[23:43] <unop> !lamp | Pnux
[23:43] <damijit> Hello. I am a new linux user. I just downloaded a program, and the installer has a ".run" extension. How do I install it?
[23:43] <spunk> unop: Pnux wants to avoid typing in his pw.
[23:43] <AbstractScroll> Scunizi yeah I know :), I just needed to comment on how supprised I am that linux is actually usefull for normal desktop use.
[23:43] <lolmac> hi, damijit
[23:43] <damijit> hi :D
[23:43] <airtonix> Pnux, there is also mysql in the repos, all of which start themselves up on boot...all respond to the use of sudo via /etc/init.d<service-name> start/stop/restart/force-reload
[23:43] <DEdwards> Pnux, i don't  think you should run as root all the time
[23:44] <BBLake> How can you tell what version of ubuntu, or edubuntu you are on?
[23:44] <Danskmand> Ho-ly-shit !!! - On Discovery, they had a little boat-ride....
[23:44] <unop> Pnux, well, you'll have to source support for this lampp package from the author/vendor - we can only really support ubuntu packages/setups here
[23:44] <DEdwards> BBLake, open system monitor
[23:44] <Danskmand> 4000 horsepower and 274 km/h !!
[23:44] <Pnux> i got XAMPP installed already, i dont mind if its on the repos.. al i want is to avoid typing my password everytime i run the launcher
[23:44] <Scunizi> AbstractScroll: aahh. good.. it is nice.. we'd all like to see others make use of it as a desktop as well..
[23:44] <damijit> I am on Ubuntu, Hardy Heron. I'm not sure the version number, how do I check?
[23:44] <strategy> damien_, 8.04 or 8.04.1
[23:44] <strategy> erm
[23:44] <unop> Pnux, for what it's worth, if you setup LAMP as per the howto for ubuntu - you won't need to enter a password
[23:44] <strategy> damijit, 8.04 or 8.04.1
[23:44] <Jack_Sparrow> Pnux running as root is just plain stupid and leads to horrible problems
[23:45] <Nutzebahn> Blender won't close when I use killall -9, help?
[23:45] <DEdwards> damijit, system monitor
[23:45] <Pnux> pnux@pnux-desktop:~$ /opt/lampp/lampp start
[23:45] <Pnux> You need to start XAMPP as root!
[23:45] <Jack_Sparrow> Danskmand !ot
[23:45] <Pnux> theres no other way that running it as root
[23:45] <airtonix> damijit, if you flag the .run filoe as executable you should be able to execute it directly from the command line
[23:45] <BBLake> It says ubuntu, but on login it says edubuntu?   Is that just a themed login for ubuntu studio?
[23:45] <Pnux> than*
[23:45] <unop> Pnux, i would suggest setting up LAMP the 'ubuntu way' :)
[23:45] <Jack_Sparrow> agreed
[23:46] <unop> Pnux, /msg ubottu !lamp
[23:46] <DEdwards> gotta go
[23:46] <DEdwards> :)
[23:46] <AbstractScroll> Scunizi that will be hard I'm afraid, one of my friends also a "professional computer technician" took a look at it and concluded it's shit since he couldnt find a control panel :), OMG, all you have to be is literate, everything is in the default menu :). But come to think of it, he might not be the best professional I know :).
[23:46] <Pnux> already read the !lamp
[23:46] <damijit> airtonix, how do I flag the file as executable?
[23:46] <Nutzebahn> Problem solved.
[23:46] <Nutzebahn> chmod a+x
[23:46] <Nutzebahn> damijix
[23:46] <airtonix> BBLake, lsb_release -a
[23:47] <Pnux> so why is it better to set it the "ubuntu way"?
[23:47] <Nutzebahn> Or chmod +x
[23:47] <Scunizi> AbstractScroll: "professionals" probably aren't the best converts.. too set in their ways most of the time.. but not always.  :)
[23:47] <spunk> Pnux: an ugly solution would be to set the suid bit. From top of my head: 'chmod 4770 <executable>' Make sure that you belong to the same group.
[23:47] <opt1k> Heh..i gave up on smtp 4 tonight
[23:47] <Jack_Sparrow> Pnux For one.. it will work
[23:47] <unop> Pnux, because we can then support it in here .. and it will work quite simply
[23:47] <Pnux> the one i have works as well

[23:47] <Pnux> the one i have works quite simply
[23:48] <unop> Pnux, your choice - but we can't really support what you have - so anything further on it is offtopic

[23:54] <unop> timo, to delete directories  shopt -s extglob; rm -r !(home)
[23:54] <timo> rmdir: failed to remove `usr': Directory not empty
[23:54] <Syslq> Ratchet you might only need to bring it up

[23:54] <Jack_Sparrow> Iris boot a livecd.. unless you installed with Wubi
[23:54] <Syslq> Ratchet open command line / terminal
[23:55] <unop> timo, i guess you know what you are doing here - because if you are running this command in / - there is no going back
[23:55] <Ratchet-> on ubuntu?
[23:55] <Ratchet-> or windows
[23:55] <Syslq> Ratchet on ubuntu
[23:55] <BBLake> also, jack, do i just delete the theme out of the appearance and login sections?
