[00:00] <HooSIER|KiNG> my desktop is 1280x1024
[00:01] <Nillerz> PROBLEM: On windows I got resolutions up to 2048x1536. This appears to be impossible on linux. Is there a fix?
[00:01] <danbhfive> HooSIER|KiNG: I think you just need to change the order of the Modes listing.  Under the "Screen" section.  The login will use the first, which is 800x600.   Just "cut" the one you want, and "paste" it into the front
[00:01] <brisingrkid> does any1 know how to get ubuntu studio?!
[00:01] <Lecter> yup u can on linux
[00:01] <hyuukai_> ive installed windows first on a hard drive then installed ubuntu on another hard drive when grub come sup it doesnt detect windows on the other drive?

[00:01] <Ketsuban> I have a couple of networking-related problems which may or may not be related. 1) When I browse to a Windows share and open it in Nautilus, it automatically gets mounted and leaves an icon on my desktop. This behaviour was not present in pre-Hardy versions of Ubuntu and is annoying, and I would like to disable it so I can browse shares without mounting. 2) I am unable to browse any shares on our Windows Home Server system -
[00:01] <Ketsuban>  the error message I get from smbtree is "cli_rpc_pipe_open: cli_nt_create failed on pipe \srvsvc to machine HOMESERVER.  Error was NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED".
[00:01] <Lecter> but first u need to figure whats the resolution of the screen itself
[00:01] <trimeta1> brisingrkid: Did you try looking at Ubuntu-Studio's website?
[00:01] <Nillerz> !ohmy
[00:01] <HooSIER|KiNG> ok let me try
[00:01] <compengi> brisingrkid, http://ubuntustudio.org/downloads
[00:01] <nach> hi !
[00:02] <gausie> anyone know ﻿how to swap the keymapping for "Page Dn" and "End"?
[00:02] <Lecter> ubntu ultimate edition combined with ubuntu studio by synaptic = best
[00:02] <smelian> ﻿Nillerz : the wireless was working good but today its desconnect every like 2 min-5 min
[00:02] <knottingham> My anus is bleeding.
[00:02] <culture> mindvirus: htop maybe
[00:02] <nach> what is the applicatio that launch the ssh server ?
[00:02] <Lecter> cause ultimate edition got a really good login screen
[00:02] <trimeta1> gausie: I know the complicated way to do that, but not the simple, Ubuntu-like way.
[00:02] <Lecter> unique
[00:02] <danbhfive> knottingham: not here
[00:02] <stweston> I need help with my signing of the CoC.
[00:02] <Nillerz> Smelian: Are you using an internal wifi card or a USB dongle?
[00:02] <trimeta1> nach: I think it's /etc/init.d/ssh
[00:02] <compengi> knottingham, do you have anything related to ubuntu?
[00:02] <stweston> I need to sign the CoC, but need help.
[00:03] <Gerinych> snova: am I supposed to boot mac like a linux kernel, or like windows?
[00:03] <compengi> stweston, join #launchpad
[00:03] <gausie> trimeta1, i can handle complicated - what are your suggestions?
[00:03] <Nillerz> !ohmy knottingham
[00:03] <stweston> compengi: thanks
[00:03] <Lecter> hum can anyone help me about this:
[00:03] <compengi> stweston, welcome :)
[00:03] <danbhfive> Ketsuban: for you first problem, you have to just set the share up in fstab, with a different mountpoint than /media
[00:03] <m_newton> !ohmy > knottingham
[00:03] <GoriIIaz> hey people some install anope services for ircd
[00:03] <Lecter> HOW TO MANAGE BOT .DEB AND .RPM PACKAGES UNDER UBUNTU???
[00:03] <GoriIIaz> help pls
[00:03] <Lecter> need pirut & synaptic
[00:03] <trimeta1> gausie: I have the xmodmap program set to run when I start my X server; it executes my .xmodmaprc file, which includes a caps<-->ctrl swap.
[00:04] <compengi> !caps | Lecter
[00:04] <Nillerz> I can't.
[00:04] <smelian> ﻿Nillerz: the regular wireless inside my laptop
[00:04] <trimeta1> Lecter: Have you looked into using alien? I think that allows for using .rpms. And .debs are already handled.
[00:04] <snova> Gerinych: no idea. like i said, i've never used mac and am unfamiliar with its boot sequence.
[00:04] <DasEi> !compile|Lecter
[00:04] <trimeta1> Gerinych: Are you trying to set up a dual-boot Hackentosh?
[00:05] <Gerinych> snova: OSx86
[00:05] <gausie> trimeta1, thats pretty hacky i see. ill give it a go thanks :-)
[00:05] <DasEi> !rpm|Lecter
[00:05] <Nillerz> Smelian: Google the model of the wireless card you're using, I'm not too good at anything that isn't EXACTLY the wg111v2. Sorry.
[00:05] <Ketsuban> danbhfive: that's not acceptable - I never had to mess with mounting before, I don't want to now.
[00:05] <Gerinych> snova: not sure whether its Hackintosh or not
[00:05] <snova> Gerinych: all i can suggest is to google it.
[00:05] <DasEi> Lecter:never used bot
[00:05] <nach> oki!
[00:05] <Gerinych> snova: alright
[00:05] <trimeta1> Gerinych: I had a triple-boot thing working here, and I had my OS X partition booting similarly to my Windows partition, yes.
[00:05] <snova> Gerinych: if nothing comes up, chainloading is the only option, but i don't know much about it.
[00:05] <nach> trimeta1:  so there is not need for xinet ?
[00:05] <trimeta1> nach: I'm not sure what xinet is.
[00:05] <Nillerz> Can someone help Smelian with his/her wireless?
[00:06] <Nillerz> I am at a loss.
[00:06] <danbhfive> Ketsuban: well, thats how Ubuntu works now.   When things are automounted, they are usually mounted to /media, which puts them on the desktop.  Don't know what else to say
[00:06] <Lecter> ubottu I know alien, problem is I wanna use pirut and synaptic
[00:06] <knottingham> who the hell ubottu?
[00:06] <dena> can someone help me? I was bridging one of my network connections and set my eth1 device back to static and now DNS isn't working...
[00:06] <Nillerz> !ohmy
[00:06] <Gerinych> trimetal did you have your mac on the same  hard drive as windows/linux?
[00:06] <lacy> lol
[00:06] <smelian> ﻿Nillerz: thank you  very much for help or offer ( and thx for helping pple )
[00:06] <Lecter> ubottu thing is I'll have more access to search .deb and .rpm
[00:06] <DasEi> Lecter:ubott.. is a ro-bot
[00:06] <trimeta1> Gerinych: Yes.
[00:06] <Lecter> I dont like .tgz balls
[00:06] <Nillerz> Smelian: No problem, sorry I couldn't help much. :\
[00:07] <Gerinych> trimetal: well, see, i have mac on a separate hard drive that has a weird partition table
[00:07] <Chorca> Hey everyone, quick question, wondering if anyone else is having any issues with their power/brightness/etc status updating slowly.
[00:07] <jvargas> hi
[00:07] <compengi> Lecter, the best choice would be using official .deb packages for ubuntu, converting .rpm packages could mess things
[00:07] <DasEi> Lecter:apt-cache search pak*
[00:07] <smelian> ﻿Nillerz : thats enough u offer to help thx again
[00:07] <jvargas> how can I know which package has the file "libkhtmlpart.so" ?
[00:07] <Lecter> prefer things messed
[00:07] <DasEi> Lecter:use synaptic-manager
[00:07] <deepfriedsquirr1> Would using FAT32 on a USB key pose much of a security thread?
[00:07] <trimeta1> Gerinych: Ah. Hmm. If Grub can address the partition, that'd probably be your best bet...I don't know if it can, though.
[00:07] <Lecter> with more things acess
[00:07] <trimeta1> deepfriedsquirr1: What do you mean?
[00:07] <Lecter> would like using synaptic AND pirut
[00:07] <compengi> Lecter, then hard luck :)
[00:08] <nach> does xinet launch the ssh service ?
[00:08] <Lecter> main problem will be compatibility between packages
[00:08] <trimeta1> If you're just using the USB key to store data, FAT32 is probably the best choice.
[00:08] <tyberion> any bash progger here?
[00:08] <trimeta1> nach: What is xinet?
[00:08] <trimeta1> tyberion: I know a little, but not much.
[00:08] <Gerinych> trimetal: i don't know if it's strange or not, but I can see my mac partition in ubuntu
[00:08] <deepfriedsquirr1> trimeta1: Well, I'm wondering if it would be safe to use a USB key regularly for booting since FAT32 is a Windows filesystem without file permissions
[00:08] <geoffrian> IRC sucks.  Too easy to get banned from a room
[00:08] <clever> !boot
[00:08] <clever> !grub
[00:08] <nach> trimeta1: sometjing for the net service but i'm trying to discover it also !
[00:09] <trimeta1> deepfriedsquirr1: Oh, you mean for booting. I think you might need a proper Linux filesystem for that.
[00:09] <compengi> clever, the best way to use the bot for private searches is /msg ubottu <factoid>
[00:09] <jvargas> how can I know which package has the file "libkhtmlpart.so" ?
[00:09] <compengi> clever, priventing missleading and flooding in the channel
[00:09] <trimeta1> nach: I only use Ubuntu on my servers, so I can't easily check for what xinet is and whether it calls ssh.
[00:09] <tyberion> trimetal.. well I wrote a script in order to start a certain program or just switch to the open one... so this is my test.. in my script which is called find_app.sh and $APPLICATION is the current app.. if [ 'ps aux | grep $APPLICATION | grep -v grep' ]; then <THEN THE PROG SHOULD BE RUNNING AND NOT BE STARTED"
[00:09] <clever> compengi: yeah i tried that yesterday and couldnt remember the spelling of the bots name
[00:10] <IntuitiveNipple> jvargas: dpkg-query -S 'libkhtmlpart*'
[00:10] <jvargas> IntuitiveNipple: and if I don't have the package with that file. I need to install a package that includes that file but I don't know what it is
[00:10] <trimeta1> tyberion: I'm not sure if the return status of the final grep is going to do what you want...it might, but you could always just write the script with echo "It's running" at the end to test it.
[00:10] <IntuitiveNipple> jvargas: ahh!
[00:11] <IntuitiveNipple> jvargas: then, use http://packages.ubuntu.com
[00:11] <Nillerz> how do I access network folders from an XP machine?
[00:11] <dena> can someone help me? I was bridging one of my network connections and set my eth1 device back to static and now DNS isn't working...
[00:11] <compengi> Nillerz, places>network
[00:11] <nosto> Anyone able to help me with a keyboard issue in regards to lsinput and it not showing my keyboard as an object even though i can type?
[00:12] <compengi> Nillerz, oh. scratch that
[00:12] <jvargas> ok
[00:12] <tyberion> trimeta: doing that all the time with echos... sstill cant get it to work
[00:13] <compengi> Nillerz, you need to use samba, share what you need and then you can access that shared one from xp's network manager
[00:13] <onx> tyberion, what about pidof?
[00:13] <Daft_Punk> !computers
[00:14] <compengi> @list
[00:14] <tyberion> onx: hmm?
[00:14] <Daft_Punk> why are u doing @list... do you think this is a media server?
[00:15] <onx> tyberion, pidof <process name>, could just check whether it's not empty
[00:17] <kris> anybody: can u help me with firefox?
[00:17] <trimeta> kris: Could you be more specific?
[00:17] <danbhfive> !anybody > kris
[00:17] <Gerinych> anyone else want to take a shot at my problem :)
[00:17] <snova> why are there so many versions of gcc in the repos? i just found out that 4.2, 4.1, and 3.3 are all installed!
[00:17] <snova> and can i safely remove the lesser versions?
[00:18] <danbhfive> Gerinych: please dont ask that type of question.  Just repeat your original question from time to time
[00:18] <trimeta> Gerinych: Have you tried going to Grub's screen and playing around with the tab completion to see if it can see your Mac disc? Actually, do you have any idea how your second HD is partitioned?
[00:18] <snova> kris: what's the problem?
[00:18] <kris> trimeta:  snova: i can put the errot message but i dont want to flood
[00:18] <trimeta> snova: Multiple versions are in the repository in case something only compiles under an older version...not sure why you have them all installed unintentionally, though.
[00:19] <trimeta> !pastebin > kris
[00:19] <Gerinych> trimeta: not sure what you mean about tabs, but I do know how my hd is partitioned
[00:19] <Gerinych> trimeta: it has one hfs+ partition and a mac-native partition table
[00:19] <lanoxx> hi, i want to have a static wlan ip only if i am connected to a certain AP, and dhcp for everything else, how can i configure this, i have already edited the interfaces file, but now i have a static ip nomatter to what AP i connect
[00:19] <danbhfive> snova: go for it.  If there is a package that needs it, the package manager will try to remove more than gcc.  If that happens, just stop the process
[00:20] <snova> trimeta: probably because i installed an older version of a devel library or something like that. now that i'm upgrading and trying not to download any more than i have to, i'm discovering a lot about the packages installed on my system. thanks for the explanation.
[00:20] <trimeta> Gerinych: Basically, if you write your menu.list pretty much correctly (except for the proper HD name), you can go to the Grub screen, choose "Edit entry," edit the line with the HD, and then it'll have tab completion of all the drives and partitions it sees.
[00:20] <snova> danbhfive: unfortunately, it wants to upgrade java before i uninstall 4.1, which counts as a large download :)
[00:21] <danbhfive> snova: mk
[00:21] <Gerinych> trimeta: ah, that. Yeah, i tried doing that, but the error says that the partition table is corrupt, not that it can find a partition
[00:21] <snova> danbhfive: what's that mean???
[00:21] <Gerinych> trimeta: *can't
[00:21] <lanoxx> Gerinych, then check you partition table
[00:21] <trimeta> Gerinych: You said you know how the disk is partitioned...could you elaborate?
[00:22] <lanoxx> fdisk -l /dev/sdx
[00:22] <Yekyaa[Ubuntu]> is there a nickserv here?
[00:22] <Gerinych> trimeta: alright, i'm looking in gparted
[00:23] <trimeta> Yekyaa[Ubuntu]: Yes, type /msg nickserv to ask it questions.
[00:23] <jvargas> i installed kde libs , now I need to make them visible by 'ld'
[00:23] <jvargas> i added a file kde3.conf to ld.so.conf.d directory
[00:23] <jvargas> and ran 'ldconfig'
[00:24] <danbhfive> snova: well, I don't understand your situation.  I would just upgrade java, but it seems like something else is going on?  so I said, mk
[00:24] <jvargas> should my files specified in the directory specified in kde.conf be added to ld cache right?
[00:24] <lanoxx> could anyone atleast point me to some documents explaining how i configure /etc/network/interfaces
[00:24] <Gerinych> trimeta: it goes /dev/sdb1, filesystem: unknown, no mountpoint, size: 31.50 KB; I suspect that's the partition table
[00:24] <snova> danbhfive: i meant that i don't know what 'mk' means.
[00:24] <mEck0> the size chart for clothes on ubuntu store are the waist size right?
[00:25] <Yekyaa> awesome :) thank you
[00:25] <snova> danbhfive: this connection isn't great in the evenings, or so it seems. then again, it wasn't great in the morning, until i rebooted. i might try that in a little bit.
[00:25] <danbhfive> snova: its ok, but with an mmm.  So, mmmmmmmmk.
[00:25] <Yekyaa> i'm registered now lol
[00:25] <cQ> hi
[00:25] <trimeta> Gerinych: That would probably be seen by Grub as (hd1,0)
[00:25] <Yekyaa> i didn't realize that xchat-gnome was the KISS version of xchat
[00:25] <Yekyaa> i thought it was otherway around
[00:25] <trimeta> Actually...hold on.
[00:25] <snova> danbhfive: ah.
[00:25] <Gerinych> trimeta: then it's 128 MB of unallocated space, and /dev/sdb3, filesystem: hfs+, mountpoint: /media/Untitled 1
[00:25] <trimeta> OK, so yea, sdb3 == (hd1,2)
[00:26] <Yekyaa> luckily when i switched to xchat, it auto-imported all my settings for servers and stuff, yay!
[00:26] <Gerinych> trimeta: hold on, let me try that
[00:27] <lanoxx> !de
[00:27] <kris> my problem with recently dowloaded new verion of ubuntu is here pls help if u can http://paste.ubuntu.com/50305/
[00:28] <kris> snova:  trimeta: i put the link
[00:28] <trimeta> kris: This happens when you attempt to start Firefox? I'm not really sure what's happening here.
[00:29] <tico> Hi. I'm making a backup cd. I was wondering if I could extract the image to the hard drive thats going to be restored. Would it work?
[00:29] <kris> trimeta:  when i start surfing the program suddenly stops
[00:29] <geoffrian> Who is in charge of this room?
[00:29] <snova> kris: well, that looks weird. it looks like gtk couldn't handle something firefox did, and closed (or couldn't open) the window.
[00:29] <tico> Using ntfsclone
[00:29] <geoffrian> Who has the ability to ban?
[00:30] <DasEi> ﻿geoffrian: join #ops
[00:30] <Gerinych> trimeta: nope, it gives me an error "partition table invalid or corrupt"
[00:30] <Starnestommy> geoffrian: #ubuntu-ops ?
[00:31] <trimeta> Gerinych: Hmm. This is a disc you pulled straight out of a Mac, I'm guessing?
[00:31] <erUSUL> geoffrian: why you ask?
[00:31] <kris> can I uninstall new verion of firefox ?
[00:31] <nutella_> Is there something similiar like streamtuner?
[00:31] <Gerinych> trimeta: no, it's a sata hard drive I bought just for a mac install
[00:31] <kris> the old one worked properly
[00:31] <tico> Hi. I'm making a backup cd. I was wondering if I could extract the image to the hard drive thats going to be restored. Would it work? I'm using ntfsclone
[00:31] <trimeta> Gerinych: You could always try redoing everything...
[00:31] <trimeta> I don't know how far along the install you are.
[00:32] <Gerinych> trimeta: so how should i redo it then?
[00:32] <trimeta> tico: I don't think it's clear what you mean.
[00:32] <trimeta> Gerinych: How much of the OSx86 install have you done?
[00:32] <Gerinych> trimeta: I just installed it and never booted it because hrub won't let me
[00:32] <Gerinych> trimeta: *grub
[00:33] <bunnyto> Hi, i want to install YUM in ubuntu, is that possible?
[00:33] <trimeta> Gerinych: Can I PM you about this? It's not exactly a Ubuntu-related topic.
[00:33] <tico> trimeta: ok so, the image is 9bg and i cant fit it on one cd, so i split it to 2 4500mb. I was wondering if i can extract the image to the hard drive thats going to be restored.
[00:33] <trimeta> tico: What do you mean, extract the image?
[00:33] <kris> what is gtk?
[00:34] <nutella_> <bunnyto:
[00:34] <kris> ?????
[00:34] <nutella_> bunnyto: why would you do that?
[00:34] <tico> trimeta: the image is inside a tar .gz file
[00:34] <kris> hmmmm
[00:34] <bunnyto> nutella_: yum is better than apt
[00:35] <tico> trimeta: i split it so it can fit on the dvd
[00:35] <trimeta> tico: How did you split it, using some feature of tar?
[00:35] <tico> trimeta: ntfsclone -s -o - /dev/sda1   | gzip | split -b 1000m - /tmp/server/master-sda1.img.gz_ for example
[00:36] <wng-> Anyone here running WoW under wine with fglrx drivers?
[00:36] <erUSUL> tico: if it is in another partition ?
[00:36] <nutella_> bunnyto: What is better on youm for example? I don't think that is possible to use yum...but I'm not sure about it
[00:36] <IntuitiveNipple> bunnyto: install Fedora, then the package manager will match the distro.
[00:36] <tico> erUSUL: Im making a boot cd to restore an image of the drive. If i have the image in a gz, so it fits on the dvd, where can I extract it to so i can use the image to restore it.
[00:37] <trimeta> tico: If split is just returning the first N bytes, then you should be able to join by using cat.
[00:37] <erUSUL> tico: it has to be a different hard drive/partition than the one you are restoring
[00:37] <tico> erUSUL: ok, thanks.

[00:38] <trimeta> !hi
[00:39] <pk1122> something is conflicting with the sound on ubuntu 8.04 on my laptop sometimes i can listen the sound and then after a while the sound stops working, then i need to restart the computer to listen the music.
[00:39] <jamix> hello everyone! has somebody passed the examination CISA?
[00:39] <jrib> pk1122: probably flash or wine
[00:40] <jrib> jamix: we like to keep this channel dedicated to ubuntu support only since it is so busy.  Mind moving your discussion over to #ubuntu-offtopic?
[00:40] <bunnyto> pk1122: alsaconf
[00:40] <jamix> hello!
[00:40] <pk1122> bunnyto, ok
[00:41] <pk1122> bunnyto, that command doesnt exist
[00:41] <bunnyto> apt-get install alsa
[00:41] <bunnyto> yum install alsa
[00:41] <bunnyto> yum remove aptitude
[00:42] <jrib> bunnyto: stop giving silly advice please.  You shouldn't be using yum on ubuntu
[00:42] <pk1122> bunnyto, newest version is already installed
[00:42] <DasEi> pk1122:use synaptic or apt-cache search alsa*  for a specific packet
[00:42] <trimeta> bunnyto: To be honest, the main reason to use a distro is because you like its package manager. If you prefer yum to apt, you should use a distro based on yum.
[00:43] <pk1122> DasEi, which packet you talking about ?
[00:43] <wng-> Anyone here running WoW under wine with fglrx drivers? I am having trouble with the textrues on the ground
[00:43] <bunnyto> i want to use Yum in Ubuntu...
[00:43] <jrib> bunnyto: use apt or one of its frontends
[00:43] <trimeta> bunnyto: What do you like about Ubuntu, that Fedora doesn't have?
[00:43] <jrib> !apt > bunnyto
[00:43] <pk1122> bunnyto, now its start working i did alsa reload
[00:43] <DasEi> pk1122:I was watching u trying to install alsa
[00:43] <bunnyto> pk1122: you welcome
[00:44] <pk1122> bunnyto, thanks

[00:47] <kimus> hi, I upgrade to Intrepid but NetworkManager does not connect. dhclient eth0 works fine
[00:47] <jrib> kimus: read the last entry in the /topic
[00:47] <kris> what shoul I do with system "hang-ons " ?
[00:47] <kimus> jrib: right... no one answers there... but ok.... :-S
[00:48] <DasEi> ﻿bartb : did it ?
[00:48] <bartb> it mounted both partitions after I did that. will that fix the boot up problem?
[00:48] <mEck0> have someone here taken the "ubuntu desktop training" course? do you get a certificate after finished and not fail?
[00:49] <DasEi> ﻿bartb : prob is the sequenz, which sometimes bugs the usb controller, so you gotta reload, less probs with uuids in fstab
[00:49] <bunnyto> mEck0: certification to use UBUNTU??? HAHAHAH
[00:50] <mEck0> bunnyto: öhh, no, not for using it...
[00:50] <bunnyto> mEck0: its like get a certification for eating mcdonalds, using, installing... same
[00:50] <bartb> Thanks, I'll reboot to see
[00:50] <mEck0> bunnyto: okay
[00:52] <jrib> bunnyto: when you answer, try to actually be helpful
[00:52] <jrib> mEck0: are you talking about http://www.ubuntu.com/news/online-desktop-training?
[00:52] <damaranzig> roukoun: dcpp install a success :D
[00:52] <damaranzig> roukoun: thankz
[00:53] <aXeus> Does Ubuntu have an FTP server package?
[00:53] <churnd> aXeus: try vsftp
[00:53] <jrib> !ftp | aXeus

[00:53] <jrib> !ftpd | aXeus
[00:53] <aXeus> jrib: Thanks.
[00:54] <ryan__> What is this error mean: Unable to find a valid framebuffer device
[00:54] <kris> may be flash crashing my firefox?
[00:54] <kris> is flash forbidden?
[00:54] <kris> or restricted?
[00:54] <churnd> ryan__: means your graphics card isn't configured properly
[00:55] <Vezir> hey why in kde4 do i only get system sounds
[00:55] <Vezir> no other sound
[00:55] <ryan__> churnd: thank you. Can you point me in the right direction, so I can get it configured properly.
[00:55] <damaranzig> roukoun: when i plug my bluetooth dongle nothing happens
[00:56] <jrib> kris: yeah, there's an issue with flash and libflashsupport causing the browser to crash
[00:56] <churnd> ryan__: i can try.  which version of ubuntu?  what kind of graphics card?  how did you try to configure it?
[00:56] <damaranzig> does ubuntu support SE k500i ??? which package to install ?
[00:56] <jamix> helllo everyone ! has someone passed CISA?
[00:57] <bunnyto> damaranzig: SE k500 is obsolete... use SEk700
[00:57] <DasEi> !ot>jamix
[00:57] <ryan__> churnd: I tried to config the /etc/X11/xorg.conf, have latest version of Ubuntu Hardy Gnome, and the graphics card is a nvidia e-GeForce 7200 GS

[00:58] <hikenboot> anyone know anything about the xen python packages?
[00:58] <damaranzig> roukoun: r u talking about a package or the actual mobile phone :)
[00:58] <jrib> hikenboot: best to just ask the channel your question
[00:59] <hikenboot> ok ...I am looking to find out if the xen python packages have been minimized to only the libaries used by xen
[00:59] <damaranzig> bunnyto: i need a package to make ubuntu recognise se k500i
[01:00] <churnd> ryan__: hard to say without looking at the xorg.conf.  how did you install the nvidia driver?
[01:00] <schortsircut> hello, i have a question
[01:00] <damaranzig> bunnyto: i also need a package to enable ubuntu recognise a bluetooth dongle
[01:01] <zetheroo> I am in Ubuntu 8.04.1 and am trying to get Flash working in Firefox 3
[01:01] <jrib> zetheroo: visit http://badgerbadgerbadger.com and click on the yellow bar at the top
[01:01] <ryan__> churnd: well I can send you the config file. Just let me know how you would like it sent.  As for the driver, after installing the graphics card a pop-up in Ubuntu's panel appeared.  Then I just followed the install steps.
[01:01] <schortsircut> are there certain wireless cards that Ubuntu 8.04.1 is incompatible with?
[01:01] <zetheroo> I need some help as it seems that the automatic install of Adobe Flash did not work
[01:02] <IntuitiveNipple> dam0: do  "hcitool dev" that should report the Bluetooth devices
[01:02] <jrib> zetheroo: be more descriptive than "did not work"
[01:02] <rmf_> i have two network interfaces (eth0 and eth1) the first goes to a wrt54gl which is my internal network (gw 192.168.1.1) and connects to comcast - the second (eth1) goes directly to a verizon modem/router (gw 172.16.1.1) - how do set eth1 as the default route
[01:03] <zetheroo> ﻿jrib: I installed it and restarted FF and still could not view flash content ... I tried to reinstall the plugin through FF and it said that it was already installed
[01:03] <schortsircut> do marvell wireless cards not work with ubuntu?
[01:03] <jrib> zetheroo: pastebin the contents of the page you get when you type "about:plugins" in your address bar
[01:04] <schortsircut> i was testing it on the live cd, and was unable to even see my network--i went through the troubleshooting stuff and all seems to be in order

[01:05] <SherlawkDragon> I have a program that I cannot kill
[01:05] <SherlawkDragon> what do I do?
[01:05] <jrib> SherlawkDragon: what program?  How did you try to kill it?
[01:05] <SherlawkDragon> is there something I can pass to kill to end it?
[01:05] <SherlawkDragon> without care I mean?
[01:06] <SherlawkDragon> and NOW?
[01:06] <SherlawkDragon> it's going to fry the processor
[01:06] <SherlawkDragon> it's stuck in an infinite uncontrolled loop
[01:06] <SherlawkDragon> jrib> I tried kill
[01:06] <amdpox> kill -14 pid
[01:06] <SherlawkDragon> it doesn't work
[01:06] <rigel> did you tru sudo kill -9 pid
[01:06] <SherlawkDragon> ??
[01:06] <amdpox> -9 and -14 are forceful
[01:07] <rigel> that usually works for me
[01:07] <jrib> SherlawkDragon: if those aren't working and it's hogging your processor, just reboot
[01:07] <SherlawkDragon> -9 worked...
[01:07] <SherlawkDragon> wow...
[01:07] <SherlawkDragon> scared me...
[01:07] <rigel> crisis averted
[01:07] <SherlawkDragon> heh
[01:07] <rigel> why would it overheat your proc anyway
[01:07] <schortsircut> jrib: thanks, but ive already gone through that. i'll try again just in case tho. i assume the live cd has all of the functionality of a full install, including wifi?
[01:07] <rigel> dont you have like a heatsink and stuff
[01:07] <SherlawkDragon> it was tolling 100%
[01:08] <SherlawkDragon> I'm on a laptop.
[01:08] <jrib> schortsircut: should be the same as a default install, yeah
[01:08] <SherlawkDragon> the heatsink sucks.
[01:08] <FloodBot1> SherlawkDragon: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[01:08] <SherlawkDragon> and besides.
[01:08] <zetheroo> ﻿jrib: its working now .. I had to remove it and reinstall it  .... thanks
[01:08] <SherlawkDragon> how often do you actually use 100% of the processor
[01:08] <r_001> can I add some packages to Ubuntu to make it a RouterOS (Like mikrotik)
[01:08] <r_001> ?
[01:08] <jrib> SherlawkDragon: all the time.  Your hardware shouldn't have a problem with it
[01:09] <MaNuElSUX> alguien habla espaol
[01:09] <SherlawkDragon> not my crappy hardware...
[01:09] <jrib> !es | MaNuElSUX
[01:09] <schortsircut> jrib: ok thnx. the only options i saw on it were "roaming mode (wired connection)" or "manual", which just brought up the network manager
[01:09] <amdpox> r_001, it's not really the right distro for the job
[01:09] <MaNuElSUX> oooks
[01:09] <schortsircut> jrib: i'll try again tho
[01:09] <jrib> schortsircut: nothing about your particular card?
[01:09] <r_001> amdpox: what's your advice ?
[01:09] <lanoxx> how do i set powersave options in kubuntu?
[01:10] <amdpox> I don't have any suggestions as I haven't set up a custom router before, but I know there are much more lightweight distros out there designed for it
[01:10] <stickboy> anyone know of any good ubuntu friendly bluetooth mice?
[01:11] <r_001> amdpox: do you have any idea about creating PPPoE server on Ubuntu server edition ?

[01:11] <hubar> hmm, anyone can show me a tutorial how to set up the spinning cube thing under ubuntu8.04?
[01:12] <gaintsura> hey... I've noticed recently that everytime I sudo... I get this;;;; sudo: unable to resolve host systemx.dev
[01:12] <gaintsura> why?
[01:12] <kb9rlf> d
[01:12] <amdpox> hubar, enable the effects in preferences -> appearance
[01:13] <JunTa1> what file keeps the bell-style options? I want to be able to keep the system bell off
[01:13] <amdpox> then install simple-ccsm with apt and use that to configure
[01:14] <JunTa1> amdpox:  was that aimed at me?
[01:14] <schortsircut> jrib:dont think so.....still checking...... i dont see it in the list, my ethernet card is a Marvell Yukon 88E8039 PCI-E, my wireless is Realtek RTL8187B......i dont see anything about it in the wiki, still checking though
[01:15] <bensonk> I'm trying to install ubuntu-eee on an Eee PC 1000.  I've built a bootable SD card out of the Ubuntu-Eee iso, but when I try to boot, it goes through a graphical boot-up, and then drops to a console without any sort of prompt.
[01:15] <bensonk> Is there some way to make the boot sequence more verbose so I can see what's breaking?
[01:15] <amdpox> JunTa1, no, sorry
[01:16] <schortsircut> jrib: never mind, i found something, reading now
[01:16] <bensonk> or, alternately, is there some sort of "no graphics" option?
[01:16] <Brom> Has anyone used Glest?
[01:16] <amdpox> bensonk, does ubuntu-eee support the 1000/901 now?
[01:16] <amdpox> last time I knew it was for 7/900 only
[01:16] <bensonk> amdpox: I believe so, but maybe I should check again.
[01:16] <Hexus> so... I dont suppose anyone is round here is good with soundcards?

[01:18] <bethlynn> hi folks
[01:18] <amdpox> bensonk, does it have a menu when it first boots like the ubuntu livecd?
[01:18] <Hexus> Elda:  my ISA card isnt being detected.   DasEi was helping me before http://paste.ubuntu.com
[01:18] <Guest76492> hi
[01:18] <bensonk> amdpox: yes, it does.
[01:19] <IntuitiveNipple> nandemonai: have you tried -safe-mode  ?
 what about the v470?
[01:19] <IntuitiveNipple> stickboy: I don't know... I've been using the v270 and it has been perfect
[01:19] <schortsircut> jrib:ummmmm.......it looks like coverage doesnt work for WPA yet, so i guess that could be why....still need to try a few things tho
[01:19] <IntuitiveNipple> stickboy: been used hard for over a year and still going strong
[01:19] <bensonk> amdpox: it presents the pretty graphical menu with all the options, and then when I select an option, it displays the ubuntu logo with a progress bar that has a bouncing back and forth orange box.
[01:19] <Elda> Hexus no idea then as I'm not much versed with that :>
[01:19] <Guest76492> any have a ip address of a public proxy?

[01:20] <IntuitiveNipple> stickboy: I have no idea... what is "gaming" ?
[01:20] <amdpox> bensonk, and then it dropped to a unix login, or a dead console?
[01:20] <Hexus> Elda: ah well I guess its back to the faqs for me then.  Thanks
[01:20] <Elda> Sorry :(
[01:20] <bensonk> amdpox: dead console.
 hmm. seems only way to buy is used..

[01:21] <Morgemil> hi everyone, does someone here have a sounblaster audigy-se running in ubuntu hardy heron?
[01:21] <Hexus> where can I get it?
[01:21] <IntuitiveNipple> stickboy: well if the v470 is based on it, and is Bluetooth, it might be just as good.
[01:21] <JunTa1> "Could not open .rpm. archive type not supported"??
[01:21] <IntuitiveNipple> stickboy: I like the v270 because of its size and lightness.

[01:24] <StephenF> If i plug in a USB HD and it is not automatically mounted, how I I check if the system has even detected the drive?
[01:24] <gaintsura> r_001: look into switching to ipcop or something of the sort
[01:24] <amdpox> bensonk, right
[01:24] <bensonk> amdpox: I had to do some changes because I'm using an SD card with data on it rather than a CD.  The Eee doesn't have a CD drive.
[01:24] <r_001> do you mean ipcop package ?
[01:24] <amdpox> bensonk, I don't know then
[01:25] <bensonk> Okay.
[01:25] <amdpox> I used a USB cd drive with 8.04 generic to do my 1000H, worked fine
[01:25] <bensonk> Well, maybe I'll just do a gentoo install.  :-)
[01:25] <bensonk> I'm more familiar with gentoo.
[01:25] <schortsircut> jrib: thnx for the helo

[01:25] <r_001> gaintsura: do you main ipcop firewal package
[01:25] <gaintsura> yes
[01:25] <gaintsura> but its not a package
[01:25] <gaintsura> its a distro/livecd
[01:25] <r_001> ipcop destriptution !!?

[01:28] <Elda> What do you mean?
[01:28] <jrib> hvgotcodes: nvidia-settings?
[01:29] <hvgotcodes> jrib -- its a tool that tells you the drive version, the temp of the card, etc....
[01:29] <hvgotcodes> is that it?
[01:29] <jrib> hvgotcodes: yeah
[01:29] <Flare183> !binarydriver | hvgotcodes (this might help, I don't know)

[01:30] <Flare183> It should help
[01:32] <JunTa1> why doesn't ubuntu package search page have adobe flash player? neeed it for viewing youtube
[01:32] <Protista> join irc.travian.org
[01:32] <jrib> JunTa1: because youtube's page circumvents it.  Go to a regular page like http://badgerbadgerbadger.com and it will work
[01:33] <hvgotcodes> is there a sensors plugin for gnome-panel or gkrellm that will monitor the nvidia temp?
[01:33] <Flare183> ...
[01:34] <JunTa1> jrib: what do you mean? i can't view youtube videos?

[01:36] <rickstar> ok
[01:36] <zigzags> aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr ok bye
[01:36] <jrib> zigzags: well keep it related to support here
[01:37] <rickstar> to get conky running... go through terminal... now when i close terminal window, conky closes
[01:37] <amdpox> #ubuntu-bashing is good
[01:37] <zigzags> gksu conky
[01:37] <rickstar> thanks
[01:37] <Derrike> Pardon, but I'm wondering about the documentation provided for installing via USB. I've been in a pit using the two methods provided. (Live CD via USB is slow, and usually freezes; alternate just doesn't work the way everyone is saying it should.)
[01:37] <jrib> rickstar: don't do that.
[01:37] <amdpox> use the alt-f2 run dialog
[01:37] <amdpox> or detach it with "conky &"
[01:37] <rpeck> isn't VLC suppose to be able to open .avi files?
[01:37] <amdpox> rpeck, .avi is a container
[01:38] <amdpox> VLC will play most of the codecs it can contain
[01:38] <jert> ?
[01:38] <rpeck> Well then how do I get VLC to play .avi files?
[01:38] <rickstar> alt-f2 no conky
[01:38] <amdpox> rpeck, what codec is it?
[01:39] <hvgotcodes> rickstar type nohup conky &
[01:39] <rpeck> video/x-msvideo?
[01:39] <rpeck> That is what it says the mime type is.
[01:39] <jrib> rickstar:
[01:39] <jrib> !pm | rickstar
[01:40] <rickstar> !pm | jrib
[01:40] <rickstar> haha
[01:40] <rickstar> ill just go the old way
[01:40] <jrib> rickstar: people gave you about 3 different suggestions, so you should say which one you tried and what happened....
[01:41] <rpeck> amdpox is it unplayable for me or do I need to install a certain package?
[01:42] <amdpox> If it won't play in VLC, you can't make VLC play it
[01:42] <amdpox> try totem
[01:42] <Derrike> I don't want to repeat myself but I think it got lost in a wave of join/parts.
[01:43] <Derrike> Pardon, but I'm wondering about the documentation provided for installing via USB. I've been in a pit using the two methods provided. (Live CD via USB is slow, and usually freezes; alternate just doesn't work the way everyone is saying it should.)
[01:43] <rickstar> ok tried all those
[01:43] <Elda> !codecs | rpeck
[01:43] <rpeck> Thanks amdpox
[01:43] <rickstar> when i close terminal conky exits
[01:43] <Elda> That might help you out :>
[01:43] <Flare183> !usb | Derrike
[01:43] <jrib> rickstar: specifics and details.
[01:43]  * bruenig has parts and joins turned off
[01:43] <zigzags> so every once in a while, none of my music players will play any music.  clickin 'play' just does nothin at all.  no errors or anything, just....nothing
[01:44] <jrib> rickstar: tell us ONE thing you tried exactly
[01:44] <JunTa1> how do
[01:44] <zigzags> it happens with any file, local or on my network
[01:44] <rickstar> $conky
[01:44] <rickstar> close terminal
[01:44] <rickstar> it closes
[01:44] <rickstar> conky also
[01:44] <S3lo> Derrike: i tried Unetbootin ( http://lubi.sourceforge.net/unetbootin.html ) to create my USB installer, might help
[01:44] <JunTa1> woops....whats the command to check what version or distro you have ?
[01:44] <jrib> rickstar: that wasn't a suggestion.  What else did you try? Keep it on one line please
[01:44] <Flare183> JunTa1: uname -a
[01:45] <zigzags> anyone know why the media players will sometimes randomly not allow music to be played????/
[01:45] <bruenig> it isn't random
[01:45] <bruenig> thus your question is poor
[01:45] <rickstar> the alt-f2 method ... conky doesnt run...
[01:45] <Derrike> S3lo: Would it use the graphical or command-line install?
[01:45] <jrib> zigzags: probably flash or wine hogging the sound card.  Kill them and do 'sudo /etc/init.d/pulseaudio restart'
[01:45] <jrib> rickstar: nohup conky
[01:46] <rickstar> jrib: also tried nohup conky
[01:46] <zigzags> hmmm neither flash nor wine were open either times
[01:46] <jrib> rickstar: and?
[01:46] <rickstar> jrib: none work
[01:46] <zigzags> i will try that next time it stops working
[01:46] <flithm> hey everyone... my machine crashed, and now when I log into gnome I don't see any panels... anyone know how I can get them back?
[01:46] <jrib> rickstar: did conky not start?
[01:46] <zigzags> so bruenig, if its not random what causes it, cuz ya seem to know
[01:46] <rickstar> jrib: yes.. segmentation fault
[01:46] <bruenig> zigzags: depends
[01:46] <JunTa1> Flare183: that doesn't give if its hardy or what distro
[01:47] <zigzags> on...........
[01:47] <jrib> rickstar: and it runs fine with just conky?
[01:47] <Flare183> JunTa1: lsb_release -a
[01:47] <bruenig> zigzags: you haven't even described your situation
[01:47] <trimeta> JunTa1: You could also check your /etc/apt/sources.list and see which you're using.
[01:47] <bruenig> I assure you however, there is no random number generator in the program that causes it to periodically skip things
[01:47] <zigzags> mm poor answer, sorry
[01:47] <JunTa1> Flare183: thx
[01:47] <templaedhel> I just installed the firefox update and now firefox is giving me errors when I use the adress or search bar
[01:48] <rickstar> jrib: now i get segmentation fault on regular $conky
[01:48] <jrib> rickstar: you need to sort that out.  See if there are any running instances of conky (ps -ef | grep conky)
[01:49] <Flare183> JunTa1: np
[01:49] <rickstar> jrib: also did $killall conky
[01:49] <jrib> rickstar: ok, but that's not my question
[01:49] <rickstar> jrib: how do i see the pid's of everything running?
[01:49]  * rickstar is a linux noob
[01:49] <jrib> rickstar: with the command I gave you in parentheses
[01:50] <kwyjibo> flash video sites hang after 2 seconds of silent playback as of updating firefox and flash today
[01:51] <rickstar> jrib: 13205 13140  0 20:51 pts/0    00:00:00 grep conky
[01:51] <jrib> rickstar: k.  Did you run that gksu conky command that was given before you read our warnings not to run it?
[01:52] <rickstar> jrib: i did happen to before i saw don't
[01:53] <kwyjibo> why did updating firefox/flash from the notification icon break them? :< i can't view any flash video sites anymore. they just hang
[01:53]  * templaedhel is being driven crazy because he can't use firefox
[01:53] <remi> is it possible to upgrade to GNOME 2.24 in Hardy Heron or do I have to wait for Intrepid Ibex?
[01:53] <mEck0> jrib: yes, its what I meant
[01:54] <jrib> mEck0: there's an email there, training@ubuntu.com and also check https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Training/Contacts
[01:55] <mEck0> jrib: thx!

[01:59] <rickstar> Commie_Cary: sorry, dont know
[01:59] <belkinhelp2> quick question about back ups....is it possible using dd to back up my entire drive to another PC on the same network?
[01:59] <Commie_Cary> :\
[01:59] <snova> belkinhelp2: i don't think dd can operate over a network.
[01:59] <belkinhelp2> and of course the next question...how would i recover it once ive replaced the drive?
[01:59] <snova> belkinhelp2: but there might be a way to do it.
[02:00] <rickstar> jrib:no
[02:00] <belkinhelp2> snova....what would you suggest?
[02:00] <jrib> rickstar: move your ~/.conkyrc back and comment parts to figure out what is causing it
[02:00]  * templaedhel wonders if anyone can help with the firefox problem??
[02:01] <snova> belkinhelp2: dunno. i just copy stuff over to an external hd, but i have no idea how to do over a network
[02:01] <kwyjibo> why did updating firefox/flash from the notification icon break them? :< i can't view any flash video sites anymore. they just hang
[02:01] <snova> belkinhelp2: i think rsync is designed for this purpose- for incrementally copying files over a network
[02:01] <Spragie> Hey, i just tried to reinstall heron over an existing copy, used the "use entire disk" option, once i installed it, it went to the bootloader and chose the )all options( and it stated that the file did not exist (not exact wording but close enough), tried reinstallling multiple times, same thing ? what am i doing wrong ?
[02:01] <belkinhelp2> snova....i suppose i could use dd, create the image on the local drive and the move it over the network manully
[02:02] <snova> belkinhelp2: there are packages expressly for the purpose of backups, and i'm sure plenty of them work over a network.
[02:02] <snova> belkinhelp2: i just don't know what any of them are called.
[02:02] <belkinhelp2> snova...i want a complete image all at once. I have to set up a dual boot on this machine and dont want to get rid of linux
[02:02] <snova> belkinhelp2: does it really have to be a disk image?
[02:02] <belkinhelp2> snova...k, ill look around.
[02:02] <asimplied> I have two problems: First, when I play movie files (i.e. youtube) in firefox, there is no sound.  This is a problem that I had fixed previously, but has since resurfaced--I believe the resurrection was caused by firefox updating; however, the previous method I used to fix this problem--install latest flashplayer--is not working.  The second problem is that I cannot burn cd or dvd's.  I have gone through several forums and it seems that this is a 
[02:03] <belkinhelp2> snova...doesnt have to be an image....just thought that would be the easiest way to recover if i screw up the dual boot install
[02:03] <Spragie> Hey, i just tried to reinstall heron over an existing copy, used the "use entire disk" option, once i installed it, it went to the bootloader and chose the )all options( and it stated that the file did not exist (not exact wording but close enough), tried reinstallling multiple times, same thing ? what am i doing wrong ? anyone have any suggestions? !
[02:03] <snova> question- i just found that in the process of updating, i have two kernels. there shouldn't be any problem removing the unused one, right?
[02:03] <snova> belkinhelp2: not necessarily.
[02:03] <kwyjibo> asimplied: i am having the exact same problem as of the latest firefox update
[02:03] <onx> belkinhelp2, dd if=<stuff> | gzip -c | ssh user@host "cat > <stuffoutput>.gz"
[02:03] <kwyjibo> asimplied: are your flash videos hanging after 2 seconds, too?
[02:03] <asimplied> ﻿kwyjibo. any idea how to fix?
[02:03] <belkinhelp2> snova...im new to linux...for windows ive always used ghost image or acronis
[02:03] <kwyjibo> asimplied: no. i keep asking :<
[02:03] <xim_> anyone know what would cause nautilus to crash in a particular directory full of videos on an NTFS files system when viewing in icon mode?
[02:04] <Spragie> Hey, i just tried to reinstall heron over an existing copy, used the "use entire disk" option, once i installed it, it went to the bootloader and chose the )all options( and it stated that the file did not exist (not exact wording but close enough), tried reinstallling multiple times, same thing ? what am i doing wrong ? anyone have any suggestions? !
[02:04] <snova> belkinhelp2: onx appears to be a wizard at this stuff. he even compressed it for you...
[02:04] <asimplied> umm, I  don't know, I usually do not wait until the end of the video--frustration, etc.
[02:04] <caio> I need to access a computer with Remote Desktop, but the computer is on other network, without a physical ip address, how can I do this?
[02:04] <snova> belkinhelp2: sorry, i have to go now.
[02:04] <pedro-orange> belkinhelp2: You can backup essential files, but system files would presumably be locked. If you're installing Windows after a linux install, you can (Vista may be an issue) - there is a handy guide to restoring the GRUB after a Windows install on the Ubuntu wiki.
[02:04] <belkinhelp2> onx...thanks
[02:04] <kwyjibo> asimplied: try playing any flash video. they will hang after 2 seconds
[02:04] <onx> snova, actually i just needed to do the same thing recently. still learning pipe magic :p
[02:05] <asimplied> kwyjibo, k hold on
[02:05] <Aaqil> Hi what is difference between ubuntu server edition and other ubuntu ?
[02:05] <belkinhelp2> onx....not that i will need it, but if i do, how do i get it back.  Use the live CD?
[02:05] <templaedhel> Aaqil: server edition has not gui like gnome or kde
[02:06] <JunTa1> halt
[02:06] <pedro-orange> caio: Phsyical IP? What do you mean by this? IP is a logical address. A MAC address is a physical address.
[02:06] <rickstar> jrib: fixed
[02:06] <belkinhelp2> onx.....doh!  same command without compression?
[02:06] <rickstar> jrib: made new .conkyrc
[02:07] <hwolff> what is the right channel to inquire about wifi problems?
[02:07] <onx> belkinhelp2, you mean restoring your disk from the image?
[02:07] <belkinhelp2> onx....yes
[02:07] <pedro-orange> hwolff: whats your issue?
[02:07] <jrib> rickstar: great
[02:07] <rickstar> jrib: thanks for the help
[02:07] <hwolff> my partner has a toshiba tecra notebook, running kubuntu. She get's wifi, but after a while the wifi breaks down
[02:08] <afallenhope> is there a way of getting vncviewer to listen on a specific port? because I can't get it to listen on 5900
[02:08] <hwolff> Win works fine, so I guess it's not the hardware
[02:08] <belkinhelp2> onx...i vaquely remember reading about booting over networks and copying entire OSs for thin clients...would this be similar?
[02:08] <templaedhel> firefox is driving me nuts
[02:08] <pedro-orange> hwolff: Whats the NIC make? Do a lshw -C network in terminal & stick it in the pastebin. Link us when you're done.
[02:08] <kwyjibo> templaedhel: ?
[02:09] <asimplied> ﻿kwyjibo, I did not notice any hang; but, definitely no sound...which is really annoying.
[02:09] <caio> pedro-orange, sorry, I cant access because the only IP that I have is 192.168.. an internal IP, and not the machine that I want.
[02:09] <tico> Do you think if I compress a 8.3gb image with gzip -c it will fit on a 4.7gb dvd?
[02:09] <daklan_cls> afallenhope: you don't make vncviewer to listen to a particular port. you make it connect to a particular port. or do you mean vncserver?
[02:09] <kwyjibo> asimplied: ah. mine freezes. and it's only from updating today
[02:09] <pedro-orange> caio: Are you in the same subnet? What is the network setup?
[02:10] <afallenhope> daklan_cls, I make it listen. it's called REVERSE vnc. vncviewser -listen
[02:10] <afallenhope> vncviewer**
[02:10] <asimplied> hmm...well, it is possible that mine will start doing that too.  I had this problem with the sound before, fixed it, updated ffox, and problem is back.  how long have you been in here looking for help?
[02:10] <onx> belkinhelp2, let me think about how to do it with pipe magic, but the more comfortable solution is probably using a locally mounted network share (nfs/smb) and using a tool like partimage
[02:10] <kwyjibo> asimplied: about half an hour
[02:10] <caio> reverse vnc!
[02:11] <afallenhope> caio, you are correct
[02:11] <templaedhel> ﻿kwyjibo: ﻿﻿I installed the update it said I should (ubuntu that is) and now when I use the url or search bar it gives me errors
[02:11] <asimplied> ﻿kwyjibo: and you just updated firefox today?
[02:11] <kwyjibo> asimplied: yes
[02:11] <kwyjibo> asimplied: i thought these things were tested before going into the repositories
[02:12] <asimplied> ﻿kwyjibo: yeah, me too
[02:12] <pedro-orange> asimplied: do u have any other applications opening using sound card output? Have u tried restarting pulseaudio?
[02:12] <dave___> anyone have any luck with linksys wireless USB adaptars?
[02:13] <asimplied> pedro-orange: all other sound works...in fact, I have been watching Anime most of the day.  But, when I tried to watch a video my friend sent, no work.
[02:13] <belkinhelp2> onx....if i pm you my email address, could you send me a solution once you think of it?
[02:13] <templaedhel> you know its bad when I have to use the ie for linux app to browse the web on ubuntu
[02:13] <belkinhelp2> onx....im new to linux but not to networking
[02:13] <dave___> It's a very common adapter with a huge pain in the ass involved in getting it going
[02:13] <daklan_cls> afallenhope: reverse vnc only works if you have a vncserver. vncviewer -listen waits for the server to initiate the request.
[02:13] <asimplied> ﻿templaedhel: is your sound working on firefox?
[02:14] <pedro-orange> asimplied: try restarting pulseaudio
[02:14] <templaedhel> ﻿asimplied: just a sec. but first close all your other apps and then restart firefox
[02:14] <templaedhel> now it won't even open!
[02:15] <asimplied> pedro-orange: ok,
[02:15] <kwyjibo> can someone tell me why today's firefox/flash update causes flash videos to freeze after 2 seconds?
[02:15] <afallenhope> daklan_cls, I know this. you're not listening to the question. like many people. I asked how to get it to listen on a CUSTOM PORT
[02:16] <afallenhope> daklan_cls, not the SERVER because I don't want the server.. but the CLIENT
[02:16] <daklan_cls> afallenhope: good luck to you then
[02:16] <templaedhel> ﻿kwyjibo: I'm guessin for the same reason it won't open for me
[02:17] <kwyjibo> dunno templaedhel
[02:17] <templaedhel> what are some alternatives for firefox till I can get it workin?
[02:18] <pedro-orange> templaedhel: Opera? There are loads of browsers about. Are you on ibex?
[02:18] <drucken> were would my nvidia display setting applacation be located
[02:18] <amdpox> templaedhel, epiphany is nice
[02:18] <templaedhel> no I'm on hardy
[02:18] <templaedhel> I'm tryin epiphany now
[02:18] <pedro-orange> templaedhel: How did u install flash?
[02:19] <drucken> were my nvidia display setting located
[02:19] <pedro-orange> drucken: nvidia-settings
[02:19] <loquitus_of_borg> Hey people. Where can I get more voices for espeak?
[02:19] <loquitus_of_borg> I want nice girlie ones
[02:19] <Derrike> uh
[02:19] <racerx> anyone knows how to install or extract a packaged file with a '.bundle' extension?
[02:19] <drucken> its says command not found
[02:19] <Derrike> that's a wee bit odd, if I might add.
[02:19] <pedro-orange> drucken: You may need to apt-get it
[02:20] <templaedhel> ﻿pedro-orange: I 4get
[02:20] <templaedhel> I'll tell you once I get firefox working agin
[02:20] <drucken> apt-get nvidia-settings???
[02:20] <pedro-orange> templaedhel: ubuntu-restricted-extras? flashplugin-nonfree?
[02:20] <pedro-orange> drucken: apt-get install nvidia-settings
[02:21] <racerx> what is a .bundle file and how to extract it, anyone?
[02:21] <templaedhel> okay I got epiphany
[02:22] <KDOC> Can someone tell me how to download internet explorer for ubuntu 8.0.
[02:22] <pedro-orange> templaedhel: have u installed libflashsupport?
[02:22] <Derrike> oh god
[02:22] <loquitus_of_borg> KDOC: you are kidding, right?
[02:22] <loquitus_of_borg> KDOC: Why would you want to install a virus on Linux?
[02:22] <KDOC> No I can't open certain websites.
[02:22] <racerx> anyone knows how to install or extract a file with a '.bundle' extension?
[02:22] <cars> KDOC: If you really really wanted to, I guess you may be able to load it in Wine.
[02:23] <loquitus_of_borg> KDOC: tell the idiots running those sites to get a life and create web compliant pages then.
[02:23] <Derrike> KDOC: You may use a browser like Opera
[02:23] <templaedhel> ﻿pedro-orange: just I sec I said
[02:23] <Derrike> that identifies itself as IE
[02:23] <Derrike> if you would like it to
[02:23] <templaedhel> ﻿pedro-orange: I'm trying to find the guide
[02:23] <drucken> how do i installnvclock to overclock my video card
[02:23] <pedro-orange> KDOC: You can presumably run it in WINE, alternatively there is ie4linux
[02:23] <Derrike> maybe there's a firefox plugin
[02:23] <KDOC> Is opera on the cd
[02:23] <pedro-orange> templaedhel: Sorry :) Ok.
[02:23] <onx> belkinhelp2, ssh user@host "gzip -d -c <yourimage>" | dd of=<target>
[02:24] <Esquilo> How can I reset ALSA?
[02:24] <belkinhelp2> onx...thanks
[02:24] <bert1> hi, can somebody tell me where the trash files are located please???
[02:24] <Derrike> Just google Opera and you'll find it; (unless you're asking because you're strictly live)
[02:24] <belkinhelp2> onx....that would be from a terminal using the live CD?
[02:24] <onx> that would work
[02:24] <ricky2122> after installing lkl,does anyone know how to start the program
[02:24] <saelynh> bert1: trash:///
[02:25] <bert1> saelynh, i get this...

[02:25] <bert1> sean@adventqt5500:~$
[02:25] <jb_> RICKY have you tried opening a terminal and typing "sudo lkl"?

[02:25] <racerx> vmware worstation for linux download has extension ".bundle". anyone knows how to extract or install this?
[02:26] <ricky2122> yeah i tried that
[02:26] <pedro-orange> racerx: Are there install instructions with it?
[02:26] <saelynh> bert1: ho, for real you mean ?
[02:26] <saelynh> I don't know
[02:26] <kwyjibo> can someone tell me why today's firefox update causes flash videos to freeze after 2 seconds? they do not freeze in Epiphany
[02:26] <djhash> !trash | bert1
[02:26] <racerx> no
[02:26] <saelynh> I don't have any trash for my part, I just pcmanfm
[02:26] <jb_> ricky i'll try dling it and run
[02:26] <jb_> brb
[02:26] <bert1> lol
[02:26] <ricky2122> ok thanx
[02:26] <saelynh> I use *
[02:26] <bert1> thank djhash and saelynh
[02:27] <templaedhel> ﻿pedro-orange: its fine. so what's your flash problem?
[02:27] <racerx> I tried googling for it but nothing was clear
[02:27] <jb_> rick, did you use apt-get to dl the software... what is the programs full name?
[02:27] <pedro-orange> racerx: do you have any scripts such as vmware-install.pl?
[02:28] <RyanPrior> Rhythmbox won't play any songs, and if I run it from the CLI, it doesn't output any errors. Can somebody help me figure this out?
[02:28] <pedro-orange> templaedhel: I don't have any flash problems. I was trying to help you
[02:28] <kwyjibo> i'm the one with flash problems
[02:28] <onx> belkinhelp2, actually that's rather inefficient though as it uncompresses before transfer - my bad
[02:28] <racerx> I used to download the file when it used to be packaaged as tar.gz but this time it came with a .bundle ext
[02:28] <templaedhel> ﻿pedro-orange: oh. thanks. I believe I have flashplugin nonfree
[02:28] <jb_> Anyone know what software Rick was referring too.. "LKL"??
[02:29] <ricky2122> linux key logger
[02:29] <templaedhel> ﻿pedro-orange: yep its nonfree
[02:29] <onx> belkinhelp2, this makes more sense: ssh user@host "cat <yourimage>" | gzip -d -c | dd of=<target>
[02:29] <jb_> ah ok
[02:29] <racerx> the .tar.gz was easy to extract and in it was the vmware-install.pl
[02:29] <belkinhelp2> onx...i like efficiency, but effectiveness is more important at the moment...as long as it works.  Can i use this command in terminal running from the live CD?
[02:29] <bert1> !zip
[02:29] <Esquilo> How can I restart ALSA?
[02:29] <pedro-orange> templaedhel: Sometimes libflashsupport package solves the majority of sound in flash problems
[02:29] <ricky2122> jb_ its called linux key logger
[02:29] <djhash> racerx: did you try in terminal "./vmware.blahblah.bundle"
[02:30] <racerx> as soon as it finish download that is what i planned on trying
[02:30] <aXeus> Something strange just happened. I tried to apt-get install ftpd. And it seemed to work, but no "ftpd" was available on bash. So without removing it, I did apt-get install inetutils-ftpd.
[02:30] <aXeus> I also did apt-get install pureadmin.
[02:30] <asimplied> ﻿pedro-orange: I ran the following command in terminal and sound worked. sudo apt-get install libflashsupport
[02:31] <templaedhel> ﻿pedro-orange: I'm not the one with flash problems that's ﻿kwyjibo: I'm having the problem that firefox gives me some weird error when I try to open it
[02:31] <pedro-orange> asimplied: w00t
[02:31] <jb_> kk ricky, im attempting to compile it now source forge dl is slow
[02:31] <kernando> how can i set up a ftp server??
[02:31] <aXeus> It seems to be worknig, but I can't create virtual users. The pureadmin interface locks up and ftpd still is not available on bash. It was available for a minute then dissapeared after I tried to create an ftp user account.
[02:31] <ricky2122> jb_ ok thanx
[02:31] <pedro-orange> templaedhel: Perhaps you should file a bug report.
[02:31] <kwyjibo> pedro-orange: i'm not having sound problems. i updated firefox as Ubuntu's system tray thing said i should. and now flash videos all freeze after 2 seconds
[02:32] <asimplied> pedro-orang: indeed, thank you for pointing me towards troubles with pulse.  I had no idea that was introduced with new ubntu release.
[02:32] <djhash> !ftp-server | kernando
[02:32] <riegersn> is it possible to launch a gui app without logging into a desktop? like xbmc or boxee?
[02:32] <pedro-orange> asimplied: It's an ongoing issue - i've never had the problem but my housemate did
[02:34] <asimplied> pedro-orange: did you roomate happen to also have trouble burning cds/dvds?
[02:34] <templaedhel> ﻿pedro-orange: I might but I'm guessing that mozzilla or ubuntu forums will be buzzing with errors and solutions if it effects more people then ﻿kwyjibo: and me. thanks for helpin though
[02:34] <ryan__> I am tring to install a linux driver from nvidia.  There directions say to do this "Type "sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-173.14.12-pkg1.run" to install the driver. NVIDIA now provides a utility to assist".  But that fails.  Any help.
[02:34] <pedro-orange> templaedhel: Yeh check the forums tomorrow, otherwise i'd file a bug report on launchpad
[02:35] <pedro-orange> ryan__: use the restricted drivers method, i find it works better
[02:35] <pedro-orange> asimplied: not that im aware of.
[02:35] <belkinhelp2> ryan__ is this an nvidia sound driver?
[02:36] <ryan__> belkinhelp2: video card
[02:36] <belkinhelp2> ryan__ sorry, i just ran into a problem with a sound driver from nvidia
[02:36] <belkinhelp2> ryan__ had to run a patch to get it to work
[02:36] <asimplied> pedro-orange: fair enough.  I have accomplished something today so I will worry about burning later.  take it easy.  ##
[02:37] <pedro-orange> ryan__: System > Admin > hardware drivers. Try doing it through there before installing something from the nvidia site
[02:37] <ryan__> hmmm. I have already tried the proprietary drivers and the screwed my whole system up.  I can now only view things in 800x600
[02:37] <pedro-orange> ryan__: You running hardy?
[02:37] <ryan__> yes Hardy.
[02:38] <beast_> ryan__:  you may want to try the Envy utility
[02:38] <snova> the upgrade process has left me with two kernels. it's safe to remove the older one, right?
[02:38] <pedro-orange> beast: You killed ryan__'s pc :P
[02:39] <beast_> wicked!
[02:39] <pedro-orange> snova: I'd keep incase u need to roll back.
[02:39] <riegersn> Is there an app that will let me browse all the hardware detected on my machine?
[02:39] <pedro-orange> riegersn: lshw
[02:40] <riegersn> im looking for a gui app
[02:40] <snova> i'm pretty sure it's ok, but i've aqcuired a wariness of messing with the kernel.
[02:40] <danbhfive> riegersn: doohickey
[02:40] <formode> I seem to be unable to import a vcard into Evolution for some reason, the "Forward" button is grey'd out. Anyone know why?
[02:40] <templaedhel> ﻿pedro-orange: and everyone else. ﻿﻿Error launching browser window:no XBL binding for browser it seems to be a problem with bindings. all the messages have a binding in them somewhere
[02:42] <ryan__> Thanks for all of the help.  I reinstalled the driver and now the resolution is fine.  thanks
[02:42] <formode> I seem to be unable to import a vcard into Evolution for some reason, the "Forward" button is grey'd out. Anyone know why?
[02:42] <pedro-orange> templaedhel: Ok. Weird. :/
[02:43] <pedro-orange> templaedhel: You could try re-installing firefox.
[02:44] <SebNaitsabes> pedro-orange:   I got someone that installed the offical nivida driver, but then could not get GDM working,  he is  pissed off with Ubuntu now, because of all this Nivida driver shit
[02:44] <r2s> can I test the PNG transparency fix on IE6 running with wine??
[02:44] <kwyjibo> i seem to have fixed my flash video problem
[02:45] <SebNaitsabes> pedro-orange:  as for the ones from the repo,   stuff happended, and he could only have  800x600 resoloution
[02:45] <r2s> coz my IE6 on wine I think is not working for that transparency fix
[02:45] <kernando> i dont get it i install pureadmin but where does the file go to open the program
[02:45] <pedro-orange> SebNaitsabes: What card are we referring to?
[02:45] <tritium> Watch the language, SebNaitsabes
[02:45] <kwyjibo> i installed the Ubuntu Restricted Extras, which seemed to have reinstalled Flash (dont know if its the same version)
[02:45] <kwyjibo> before i was using just the macromedia flash plugin package
[02:45] <SebNaitsabes> pedro-orange:  yes what card good question,  in fact I wasn't entirely sure, but  there is logs of whatever etc some wehre hummm
[02:45] <pedro-orange> kwyjibo: thats how i install flash on a new system, never steered me wrong.
[02:46] <templaedhel> ﻿pedro-orange: been there done that. I did complete removal and it didn't work
[02:46] <SebNaitsabes> pedro-orange:  ,but  I think it may be some legacy one, since he has 256MB RAM
[02:46] <pedro-orange> templaedhel: I'd file a bug then if i were yuo.
[02:47] <kwyjibo> you never notice how much you need flash until it's gone :O
[02:47] <pedro-orange> SebNaitsabes: lshw -C display
[02:47] <StanManCan> 256mb ram? buy some more for $15
[02:48] <cars> StanManCan: I'm in the same boat.  I'd buy more, but it's RDRAM, and not cheap/available.
[02:48] <r2s> I'm developing a cross-browser website... but it seems that IE6 on wine doesn
[02:48] <pen> hey everyone
[02:48] <pen> I have a question
[02:48] <pen> My trash can icon disappeared
[02:48] <StanManCan> cars: ah ha, rdram... that sucks big time!
[02:48] <Esquilo> pen, add it back then
[02:48] <StanManCan> cars: what are you running it on..? must be a pretty old box
[02:48] <pen> although I have checked that in gconf the value of trash_icon_visible is checked
[02:48] <r2s> I'm developing a cross-browser website... but it seems that IE6 on wine doesn't work on that CSS filter or those PNG transparency fix
[02:48] <pen> Esquilo, I can't it's not on the desktop
[02:48] <Esquilo> pen, humm
[02:49] <linuxmonger> Does anybody know what's going on with Pigin 2.5.0? I keep getting disconnected from Yahoo! and so far I haven't been able to figure out why.
[02:49] <SebNaitsabes> pedro-orange: yeah, but not helping him right now
[02:49] <pen> Esquilo, it is probably off the screen but I don't know how to get it
[02:49] <Esquilo> pen, Have you tried add it in the panel?
[02:49] <pen> Esquilo, I don't want to add that to the panel
[02:49] <pedro-orange> r2s: Well it is a Windows application, Wine has come a long way but it's not 100% compatible.
[02:49] <Esquilo> ôÔ
[02:49] <pen> Esquilo, desktop is fine
[02:49] <Esquilo> ¬¬
[02:49] <Esquilo> I won't help you so
[02:49] <linuxmonger> 2.5.1 is on the pidgin.sf.net site, should I download and intall or wait for a .deb?
[02:49] <pen> Esquilo, ?
[02:49] <templaedhel> even after I romove firefox the menu item remains and I can still use it to get the same error
[02:49] <cars> StanManCan: Tell me about it.  It was very above average when it was new, especially with the nvidia ti4200. It can still do most things, but the RAM is the bottleneck.
[02:50] <SebNaitsabes> pedro-orange:  basically the  one from the repo screwed the resoloution up, but the one from nivida  got installed, but then he could not get gdm back
[02:50] <pen> Esquilo, don't say that, say you don't know
[02:50] <ryan__> Can someone lead me in the right direction.  I would like to set up dual monitors on Ubuntu.
[02:50] <r2s> pedro-orange: yeah... I just hate to switch back to windows and back to linux again
[02:50] <pedro-orange> templaedhel: did u sudo apt-get remove firefox?
[02:50] <Esquilo> pen, I don't like this "Windows way of life"
[02:50] <pen> Esquilo, but this is weird, it just disappeared
[02:50] <Esquilo> pen, Ah, sorry, "I don't know"
[02:50] <Esquilo> pen, humm
[02:50] <pen> Esquilo, ok, thx for the help anyway
[02:50] <pen> Esquilo, at least you talked
[02:50] <RyanPrior> Rhythmbox won't play any songs, and if I run it from the CLI, it doesn't output any errors. Can somebody help me figure this out?
[02:50] <Esquilo> pen, You can Access it?
[02:50] <pedro-orange> SebNaitsabes: You should check his xorg.conf  - it's supposed to auto-detect but u can specify resolutions there
[02:51] <Esquilo> do you have how to access it? pen
[02:51] <pen> Esquilo, I can use the trash in nautilus and the panel, but somehow the desktop icon disappeared
[02:51] <Esquilo> humm
[02:51] <Esquilo> I see, I see...
[02:51] <pen> Esquilo, even though I checked that in the gconf
[02:51] <pedro-orange> SebNaitsabes: If u not u can dkpg-reconfigure xorg-server
[02:51] <pen> Esquilo, so this is considered to be a bug isn't it?
[02:51] <Esquilo> Sorry, In this case I have never seen something like that in my life
[02:51] <pedro-orange> r2s: You can virtualise Windows
[02:51] <SebNaitsabes> pedro-orange:  yeah tried  dpkg-reconfigure  xorg server,  as for editing  xconfig,  how would I do that?
[02:51] <Esquilo> pen, I don't think so
[02:52] <pen> Esquilo, no?
[02:52] <Esquilo> It can be anything
[02:52] <pen> Esquilo, it's checked but it's not there
[02:52] <pen> Esquilo, it works with other icons only the trash disappeared
[02:52] <Esquilo> pen, ho!!
[02:52] <Esquilo> pen, look...
[02:52] <Esquilo> pen, Do you could create another user?
[02:52] <r2s> pedro-orange: hmm yeah that's my last resort...
[02:52] <pedro-orange> SebNaitsabes: sudo nano -w /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[02:53] <SebNaitsabes> pedro-orange:  well yes, but I meant what changes would I make to it?
[02:53] <r2s> pedro-orange: the problem is that cut&paste thing...hahaha nvm.. thanks dude
[02:53] <Esquilo> pen, do it. make another user... and I bet with you that this icon will show there ;)
[02:53] <pen> Esquilo, alright, let me try
[02:53] <Esquilo> :D
[02:53] <SebNaitsabes> pedro-orange:  he has a resoloution which is great, before the drivers go on,  which is lost after the driver from the repo,  but I guess I would add that resoloution into the correct place in x config  and hopefully it will work theno r?
[02:53] <pen> Esquilo, if so, how can I fix this?
[02:53] <formode>  dwmw2_gone
[02:54] <formode>  I seem to be unable to import a vcard into Evolution for some reason, the "Forward" button is grey'd out. Anyone know why?
[02:54] <pedro-orange> SebNaitsabes: You can specify it under Modes in the subsection display.
[02:54] <SebNaitsabes> pedro-orange:  what's the  -w in that first command you gave?
[02:54] <Esquilo> pen, I have no idea XD May it is a bug in ".trash"
[02:55] <pen> Esquilo, I see no .trash in my home folder
[02:55] <pedro-orange> SebNaitsabes: it's like word wrap
[02:55] <Esquilo> pen, actually it is in another folder...
[02:55] <BunTai> i want to install sidebar gadget in my ubuntu..anyone help me??
[02:55] <BunTai> i wanna be like this http://www.members.shaw.ca/mnicy/Desktop/31-01-08-desktop.png
[02:56] <Esquilo> like: ~/XXX/.trash
[02:56] <pedro-orange> SebNaitsabes: man nano :)
[02:56] <pen> Esquilo, hm
[02:56] <Esquilo> I can't remember what this XXX is
[02:56] <Esquilo> =/
[02:56] <stweston_> bunTai: WHY?
[02:56] <SebNaitsabes> pedro-orange:  looking at my own  xconfg  ( I just gedited it no sudo since not editing)   there is not that much in there, and I am not sure how I would edit his file which would be similar in certain ways
[02:56] <pedro-orange> SebNaitsabes: It stops CLRF and other weird characters in ur conf files
[02:56] <BunTai> stweston_: i want to install sidebar gadget like this http://www.members.shaw.ca/mnicy/Desktop/31-01-08-desktop.png
[02:56] <BunTai> can i?
[02:56] <stweston_> okay...
[02:57] <stweston_> no clue. sorry
[02:57] <SebNaitsabes> pedro-orange:  yeah nano I should probably really use something like that and learn to use properly,  but  I keep on taking the noob way gedit :D
[02:57] <stweston_> just wondering why you wanted a windows theme.
[02:57] <templaedhel> okay so I fixed firefox. don't ask how its complicated. but now I need to get my old bookmarks. I have the bookmarks.html file left over form before. what should I do with it?
[02:57] <BunTai> no
[02:57] <stweston_> LOL
[02:57] <BunTai> i dont want window theme
[02:57] <BunTai> i hate microsoft
[02:57] <BunTai> :P
[02:57] <stweston_> LOL
[02:57] <pedro-orange> SebNaitsabes: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/50331/
[02:57] <BunTai> i want sidebar for my ubuntu
[02:57] <BunTai> like this person http://www.members.shaw.ca/mnicy/Desktop/31-01-08-desktop.png
[02:58] <Gerinych> im trying to put in a "boot cd" function in GRUB, what's the entry should look like?
[02:58] <stweston> you sure they weren't just emulating Ubuntu?
[02:58] <stweston> LOL
[02:58] <jdale> just started to watch wargames2...should i finish it?
[02:58] <pedro-orange> SebNaitsabes: But the new xserver is supposed to auto-detect so i dunno what the effects will be
[02:58] <stweston> Just kidding.
[02:58] <SebNaitsabes> pedro-orange:  my  xconfig does not even have  modes in it
[02:58] <templaedhel> ﻿pedro-orange: ﻿so I fixed firefox. don't ask how its complicated. but now I need to get my old bookmarks. I have the bookmarks.html file left over form before. what should I do with it?
[02:58] <BunTai> hahahaha
[02:58] <BunTai> now i see that
[02:58] <BunTai> the button start
[02:59] <BunTai> d*mn
[02:59] <stweston> yeah
[02:59] <pedro-orange> SebNaitsabes: Thats cause xserver auto detects now :)
[02:59] <BunTai> i want a sidebar gadget
[02:59] <BunTai> its look beatiful
[02:59] <SebNaitsabes> pedro-orange:  ,but in his case auto detection went wrong?
[02:59] <cars> jdale: as long as you don't compare it to the original, and keep your expectations low, you're OK.
[02:59] <BunTai> you know shere should i get it?
[02:59] <BunTai> you know where should i get it?
[02:59] <pedro-orange> templaedhel: Sorry I've not done anything like that before - perhaps fiddle with ur FF settings and see if u can import.
[03:00] <pedro-orange> SebNaitsabes: So it seems.
[03:01] <SebNaitsabes> pedro-orange: if I copied and put in xconfig in the screen section what you gave me on pastebin,  but with the resoluoton that works well on his lap top, it should work?
[03:01] <pen> Esquilo, ok
[03:01] <pen> Esquilo, it is there
[03:01] <pen> Esquilo, so it must be off screen
[03:01] <pen> Esquilo, or something
[03:01] <tritium> !enter  | pen
[03:01] <BunTai> !sidebar
[03:01] <pen> Esquilo, do you know how to retrieve any offscreen?
[03:01] <BunTai> !gadget
[03:01] <pen> tritium, thx for reminding me, do you happen to know how to solve my problem?
[03:02] <Esquilo> pen, No idea
[03:02] <cars> BunTai: It kind of looks like they're on a super-customized version of Vista with Ubuntu running seamlessly with VirtualBox.
[03:02] <tritium> pen: I've not been following.  Let me read the scrollback.
[03:02] <Esquilo> pen, If you don't want to boring with this problem you could move your files to this new user
[03:02] <BunTai> cars: yups..
[03:02] <BunTai> :(
[03:02] <cars> BunTai: I don't know the package they used for the sidebar, though.  It's not Vista, though.
[03:02] <tritium> pen: looking for your old ~/.Trash?
[03:02] <pedro-orange> SebNaitsabes: Not necessarily. Depends on the identifiers associated with his hardware, I'd be cautious and take a backup of it before any manual changes you make
[03:02] <BunTai> yup
[03:02] <pen> Esquilo, I don't really want to do that
[03:02] <Esquilo> I see
[03:02] <tritium> !trash | pen
[03:02] <BunTai> but its ok...ubuntu still the best..
[03:03] <pen> tritium, well, it's not there and the desktop icon disappeared
[03:03] <pen> tritium, although I checked it in gconf
[03:03] <tritium> pen: see above
[03:03] <BunTai> !paste
[03:03] <SebNaitsabes> pedro-orange:  well if I even get a chance to do this,  he  is pissed off with Ubuntu,  and went to it for wrong reasons in the first place
[03:03] <pen> tritium, that's not what I want
[03:04] <pen> tritium, I want the desktop icon back
[03:04] <SebNaitsabes> pedroa-orange: after chaning xconfig I guess  it needs restarting,  remind me the command for that
[03:04] <SebNaitsabes> pedro-orange:
[03:04] <BunTai> gtg
[03:04] <BunTai> bye all
[03:05] <a2z> I cannot open most of the pages using either Firefox or IE also i can not connect to most of the IRC servers ???
[03:05] <pedro-orange> SebNaitsabes: Bad luck for him. :( I'd just tell him it's free. You may want to google his particular video card for known issues. sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[03:06] <RyanPrior> Rhythmbox won't play any songs, and if I run it from the CLI, it doesn't output any errors. Can somebody help me figure this out?
[03:06] <gpm> hi all. my cube has only two sides, and i can't figure out how to make it have four. the hsize option is set to 4
[03:07] <SebNaitsabes> pedro-orange:   yeah  someone that had a virused Windows,  so   to start clean put on Ubuntu,  and then the drivers won't work, plus he has loads of Windows stuff, but , because he only has 256mb RAM can't even run a virtual machine of  Windows.  and  they have no money to buy CD's at the moment,  so  basically buggered, but I was reading about a way to install Ubuntu psyically onto a  hard disk from ISO
[03:07] <StanManCan> i have
[03:07] <StanManCan> cd /home/ventrilo/ventsrv
 ./ventrilo_srv -d
[03:07] <StanManCan> in my script
[03:07] <StanManCan> but
[03:07] <FloodBot1> StanManCan: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[03:07] <StanManCan> it's saying  ./etc/rc2.d/S20ventrilo_srv.sh: 25: /ventrilo_srv: not found
[03:07] <pedro-orange> RyanPrior: Are you trying to play mp3s? Have you installed the codecs?
[03:07] <RyanPrior> pedro-orange: These are songs which have never failed to play before, and which played fine hours earlier today.
[03:08] <pedro-orange> RyanPrior: On linux? Or windows?
[03:08] <RyanPrior> pedro-orange: The only change I've made to my computer was updating my Firefox package to version 3.0.2
[03:08] <RyanPrior> pedro-orange: On Ubuntu, what else?
[03:08] <SebNaitsabes> pedroa-orange:  I can restart  x when  logged into Gnome?  don't need to go into the other console
[03:09] <pedro-orange> RyanPrior: Restart pulseaudio, or try closing all applications using the sound output
[03:09] <RyanPrior> pedro-orange: If Firefox has the sound output, is there a way to switch it to PulseAudio instead?
[03:09] <ozo2> hi
[03:09] <loquitus_of_borg> How do I logoff an X11 user from the command prompt, if I am sshed to the machine?
[03:09] <a2z> I cannot open most of the pages using either Firefox or IE also i can not connect to most of the IRC servers ???
[03:10] <roe_> a2z, what does "the pages" mean
[03:10] <roe_> and what error do you get when you try to connect to other irc servers
[03:10] <a2z> sorry i meant Most of the WEB pages
[03:10] <corunum> hello, I need help getting my wireless to work in virtualbox
[03:10] <a2z> and when i try to connect to IRC servers i get Connection Timed Out
[03:11] <templaedhel> everything is fixed!!!! yay :-D
[03:11] <roe_> a2z, do the web pages you can't open resolve in DNS?
[03:11] <cars> corunum: Does the virtual machine have networking enabled?
[03:11] <davidcramer> what is the opposite of the "python2.5-minimal" package
[03:11] <davidcramer> i need all the system libraries
[03:11] <a2z> how do i know whether they resolve in DNS or not
[03:12] <corunum> cars, I don't know how to verify this. sorry
[03:12] <roe_> a2z, do you know how to open up a terminal window?
[03:12] <a2z> well sorry to say im using XP and not ubuntu i thought some1 could help here
[03:12] <cars> corunum: It would be in the options of the virtual machine when it's off.
[03:12] <roe_> a2z, ha
[03:12] <jrib> davidcramer: python2.5
[03:12] <roe_> do you know how to open up a command prompt?
[03:12] <davidcramer> jrib: im missing common modules, someone mentioned its probablyb ecause of the license on them
[03:13] <pen> anyone here know how to get the desktop trash bin back if it is offscreen ?
[03:13] <a2z> yes i know
[03:13] <jrib> davidcramer: like?
[03:13] <[Solars]> whats a good virtual machine to run in winxp64 to run unbunto in?
[03:13] <davidcramer> profile module
[03:13] <StanManCan> a2z what made you think of coming to the ubuntu linux channel for winxp help?
[03:13] <cars> a2z, you can also try #windows, they might have more knowledgeable people there, if you can't get it fixed here.
[03:13] <a2z> well let me try here
[03:14] <roe_> a2z, nslookup is the command you are interested in, but they are right #windows is the correct place
[03:14] <cars> StanManCan: It's probably because it's a huge channel, and there are helpful people everywhere.
[03:14] <jrib> davidcramer: did you install python-profiler?
[03:14] <corunum> let me check cars
[03:14] <valros> hey guys, question: whats a good simple lightwieght c++ IDE, I used a little of dev-C++, is it easily available for linux
[03:14] <pedro-orange> Internet died. Please resend any msgs
[03:14] <StanManCan> a2z: try resetting your connections
[03:14] <barlrol> hey is the new gnome available in the respitories yet?
[03:14] <davidcramer> jrib: quite retarded, its a core library :P
[03:14] <StanManCan> a2z: go int o command prompt and type "netsh winsock reset catalog"
[03:14] <davidcramer> but ill install it and see if it fixes it
[03:14] <Cheeky> can anyone tell me a good text editor that i could use .to .. do php .. with syntax highlighting .. i need to work with files .. on my ubuntu server ..
[03:14] <genii> a2z: It's like bringing your rusted out Honda Civic to the GM Dealership and asking them questions about it
[03:14] <pedro-orange> valros: gedit is good enough with syntax highlighting :) Otherwise use Eclipse
[03:15] <a2z> roe i tried that command and got this Default Server:  dnscache1.singnet.com.sg
[03:15] <a2z> Address:  165.21.83.88
[03:15] <roe_> Cheeky, I use emacs, there are extensions for almost any language for syntax highlighting
[03:15] <genii> Perhaps a Pinto might have been a better example
[03:16] <barlrol> hey is the new gnome available in the respitories yet?
[03:16] <roe_> a2z, what was the command you typed in
[03:16] <valros> k
[03:16] <a2z> i typed nslookup
[03:16] <roe_> barlrol, I would be surprised if it gets put into hardy's repos

[03:17] <valros> is gedit in the repositories, also what is the aptitude command to search the repositories
[03:17] <a2z> it says i have to reboot in order to complete the reset
[03:17] <roe_> valros, aptitude search <package name>
[03:17] <izinucs> valros, gedit is installed by default
[03:17] <StanManCan> ya

[03:18] <MindVirus> How do I generate a key for myself?
[03:18] <gpm> why does my cube only have two sides!? the workspace switcher has four slots
[03:18] <a2z> ok BRB
[03:18] <alanbshepard> is there a way to force fdupes to only delete dupes from one of the compared folders and not flip flop betwen them?
[03:18] <gpm> but i can only select two of them, even in the switcher on the panel
[03:19] <amdpox> gpm: set the virtual desktop size in ccsm to 4 horizontal, 1 vertical
[03:19] <valros> ah, but gedit is no ide, whats the best, didnt like eclipse, too heavy
[03:20] <izinucs> valros, you want syntax highlighting.. check the view mode in gedit..
[03:20] <gpm> amdpox: thanks!
[03:20] <doctorow> Ever since I upgraded to Hardy, my Flash video sound and stability have been very poor. I've read and tried a dozen different recipes for fixing it, but to no avail. I've just uninstalled (I *think*) the Flash 10 beta and reinstalled flashplugin-nonfree and libflashsupport, but now I'm not getting any Flash audio again. Help!
[03:20] <Cheeky> roe_: yeah but i need to work on in in cli over my LAN..
[03:20] <valros> .......well id prefer a compiler built in
[03:21] <roe_> I only use emacs on the cli
[03:21] <digitalfiz> anyone else having issues staying connected to yahoo in pidgin?
[03:21] <pedro-orange> valros: Anjuta?
[03:21] <kev12345> is anyone fimilar with getting the itunes store to work under wine?
[03:21] <cars> digitalfiz: I am. What error does it give?
[03:21] <roe_> Cheeky, at least in debian there is an emacs21-nox package (it maybe emacs22 these days)
[03:21] <Frogzoo> doctorow: did you increase the cache size?
[03:21] <digitalfiz> cars, it says try logging into the website to fix this
[03:21] <digitalfiz> i do and it still does the same thing
[03:22] <roe_> kev12345, I'm gonna say #wine may be
[03:22] <cars> digitalfiz: I am getting the same error.  What version are you using?
[03:22] <kev12345> thank you
[03:22] <doctorow> Frogzoo: No, I haven't tried that -- how do I do that?
[03:22] <digitalfiz> every so often it disconnects its quite anoying
[03:22] <genii> !info emacs22-nox
[03:22] <a2z> StanManCan I still cant open irc.mozilla.org
[03:22] <Frogzoo> doctorow: right click - options - set cache to unlimited or 10meg
[03:22] <digitalfiz> cars, 2.5
[03:22] <Frogzoo> doctorow: right click in the flash window that is
[03:22] <roe_> a2z, read the help file... ns2lookup /? and understand how to use the command
[03:23] <jigp> hello how to open .docm in openoffice?
[03:23] <doctorow> Frogzoo -- just tried that -- no dice!
[03:23] <Sephr> finally got a friend to burn my x64 8.04 alt installer cd
[03:23] <a2z> well i think it is a problem with DNS
[03:23] <digitalfiz> cars, aparently its because yahoo upgraded their service recently im sure pidgin will release a patch soon
[03:23] <Sephr> hope this works with my raid drives
[03:23] <Frogzoo> doctorow: how do you mean? it's definitely an option there
[03:23] <alanbshepard> anyone know of a way to perform symetric encryption without a command line.
[03:23] <Gun_Smoke> digitalfiz, now that you mention it yes.. I just noticed it was not connected anymore.
[03:24] <cars> digitalfiz: Most likely.  I'm getting the same error with pidgin on my n800.
[03:24] <Frogzoo> doctorow: the option is called "local storage"
[03:24] <a2z> StanManCan u here?
[03:25] <cars> digitalfiz: The only temporary workaround I can think of until they release a patch is to use a jabber server to connect to Yahoo and relay the messages.
[03:25] <roe_> a2z, are your dns requests not resolving?
[03:25] <stoned24> any body know how to get a proxy?
[03:25] <digitalfiz> cars, i connect fine it just doesnt stay connected for very long. Im lazy so ill just keep hitting reconnect :P
[03:26] <digitalfiz> disconnects after a few hours usually
[03:26] <tensei> my keypad controls the mouse instead of typing numbers, where is that setting?
[03:26] <a2z> well i can open Many pages but cant open some
[03:26] <roe_> stoned24, what does that mean?
[03:26] <digitalfiz> num lock
[03:26] <stoned24> does ene one in here know how i can obtaina proxy?
[03:27] <cars> stoned24: What kind of proxy?  What would you use or need it for?
[03:27] <roe_> stoned24, you can proxy almost any type of network traffic.  Do you want to install a proxy or find one that is available?
[03:27] <tensei> digitalfiz: umm that does nothing of course... i fixed this once pefore but forgot how
[03:27] <iFvwm> 󰀍
[03:27] <jasuus> hi .. how do i assign a function output to a variable and then test that variable...as in var = $(ps aux | grep ...)   if ( var == ...
[03:28] <jasuus> in a shell
[03:28] <iFvwm> for i in `ps aux|grep ...`
[03:29] <Sephr> I've used the normal x86 and x64 install cds before but I've never used the x64 alt install dvd, is there a guide to using the alt dvd installer anywhere?
[03:29] <SebNaitsabes> pedro-orange:  I am doing stuff with him now here's the results of  lshw -C display   http://www.pastebin.ca/1210208
[03:29] <SebNaitsabes> pedro-orange:  have his resoloutions and refresh rate saved in a file on his desktop
[03:29] <iFvwm> or do while read a; xxxx; done < `ps aux|grep ...`
[03:30] <Sephr> why can't there just be a normal installer, a raid-supporting installer, then a confusing alt installer?
[03:30] <pedro-orange> SebNaitsabes: Whats his xorg.conf look like?
[03:31] <SebNaitsabes> pedro-orange: this is now with  no nivida driver installed I guess,  since his resoloutions are working
[03:31] <SebNaitsabes> pedro-orange: ,but yes I was going to look at that next
[03:31] <adrian_2002ca> Let's say I used the shift down method to lower my volume to mute. Then, using the volume applet, i cannot change the volume until I use shift up. do i report a bug or is it an error?
[03:32] <IdahoEv> once i have configured partitions and devices for soft RAID, how long should the installer take before going to the next step?   My screen has been blank for 10 minutes.
[03:32] <Gun_Smoke> Sephr, the alternateCD is pretty easy to follow.
[03:32] <Sephr> I can't even get it to boot via the altCD
[03:32] <Sephr> so weird
[03:33] <Gun_Smoke> check the burn?
[03:33] <Sephr> It might be
[03:33] <Sephr> this dvd burner randomly pops open sometimes, might be something wrong w/it
[03:34] <pedro-orange> SebNaitsabes: I'd suggest installing the nvidia driver and then adding something like Modes "1440x900" to his xorg.conf and rebooting.
[03:35] <cars> Sephr, if you can boot to the menu on the altCD, you can verify the CD's integrity.
[03:35] <ushimitsudoki> The new firefox update is all goofed up? Can't click on tabs to change them and doesn't remember which tabs to open on re-open? Or just me?
[03:36] <izinucs> ushimitsudoki, just you of course :)..  No but seriously I  haven't had any issues with the update.
[03:36] <ttwio> Hi - is this a official ubuntu page ? http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Hardy
[03:36] <SebNaitsabes> pedro-orange:  this is with  I guess no nivida driver installed anymore or just  not set up to work  http://www.pastebin.ca/1210215
[03:36] <danbh_intrepid> ttwio: no
[03:36] <Gerinych> I can't boot a hfs+ partition with GRUB
[03:37] <jrib> ttwio: no
[03:37] <ttwio> thanks
[03:37] <benzss> does anyone here use OSS 4? is it better than alsa/pulseaudio?
[03:37] <ushimitsudoki> izinucs: wow thanks - something must have gone wrong because my firefox is seriously goofy and i just updated it. alright, thanks for the non-confirmation :)
[03:37] <danbh_intrepid> ttwio: try help.ubuntu.com
[03:37] <SebNaitsabes> pedro-orange: I guess what happens is the driver gets installed and then xconfig screws up
[03:37] <pedro-orange> SebNaitsabes: Might be an idea to run dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg after the nvidia install
[03:37] <izinucs> ushimitsudoki, did you restart it?  if not do that
[03:38] <SebNaitsabes> pedro-orange:  what does  -phigh do?
[03:38] <pedro-orange> SebNaitsabes: Well I'd suggest, if its fine now - just leave it :P
[03:38] <SebNaitsabes> pedro-orange:  well  it works without drivers
[03:38] <genii> SebNaitsabes: It only does resolution settings as opposed to full x reconfig
[03:38] <SebNaitsabes> pedro-orange: ,but he needs the driver
[03:38] <pedro-orange> SebNaitsabes: Why?
[03:38] <SebNaitsabes> pedro-orange: so certain programs will work
[03:39] <ushimitsudoki> izinucs: there was an existing firefox process (not visible) that was it. thanks much!
[03:39] <SebNaitsabes> pedro-orange:  games actsaully, really he should be on Windows, but  can't just install Windows on there right now either  dual boot or whatever
[03:40] <izinucs> ushimitsudoki, happened to someone else this morning as well.  np
[03:40] <pedro-orange> SebNaitsabes: Well if he wants to play games, he should rly be on windows
[03:40] <pushnell> Hey all.  So, I'm a new ubuntu user having a perl issue, not sure which chan is correct.  I need the UUID perl module, and noticed that Adept had a libuuid-perl package, so I assume that perl package management is not done through cpan or ppm but the ubuntu package manager ... is this correct?
[03:40] <izinucs> yep
[03:41] <jigp> hello guys is there a way to open a docm?
[03:41] <pushnell> I installed the package via adept, but the UUID.pm went to /usr/lib/perl5/UUID.pm ... it's usually in the Data namespace, which would put it under /usr/lib/perl5/Data/UUID.pm ...
[03:41] <jrib> pushnell: either
[03:41] <SebNaitsabes> pedro-orange:  yes, but  he can't buy a CD right now,  and has no Windows CD the usaul story.   I read about some sort of  way to make an ISO be installed onto a parttion psyically by like making a partition in the ISO format,  and  then  like booting the ISO in that partition from Grub
[03:41] <jigp> hello guys is there a way to open a ".docm"?I cannot open it to openoffice2.4
[03:41] <SebNaitsabes> pedro-orange: which driver from the repo, legacy or normal?  any idea?
[03:41] <pushnell> So the code I have written now can't find the .pm and I'm not sure what the 'right' way is to go about fixing this.  This code has run as-is under CentOS and ActivePerl/Win32.
[03:42] <Cycom> which pm?
[03:42] <nonewmsgs> jigp, i am not familiar with .docm what app made it orginaly
[03:42] <cars> pedro-orange: Actually, I'm so sick of Windows Vista and Microsoft that I'm going to try and convert permanently to Ubuntu.  I had an error from a Windows Update which deauthorized my license and now I'm stuck in Limited Functionality mode hell.  I'm going to run as many games as possible in Ubuntu.
[03:42] <pushnell> Cycom: UUID.pm
[03:42] <Cycom> pushnell: hrm...
[03:42] <pedro-orange> SebNaitsabes: I'm not sure about that. With regards to the driver probably glx
[03:43] <Seveas> pushnell, put the pm in a place in @INC or use 'use lib /path/to/dir_with_pm/'
[03:43] <Seveas> pushnell, obviously, the former approach is better :)
[03:43] <jigp> nonewmsgs its an ms office 2007 file...
[03:43] <SebNaitsabes> pedro-orange:  his computer is a few years old with 256mb RAM
[03:43] <Gerinych> I can't boot OSx86 with GRUB, someone help
[03:43] <pedro-orange> cars: Running games in wine sometimes works, I tried to get alot working for my housemate - and was only about 20/30% successful. but since they're written for windows - its what i expectedf.
[03:43] <Seveas> Gerinych, find an osx86 channel, this is Ubuntu support
[03:43] <pushnell> Seveas: @INC already has /usr/lib/perl5, but the problem is that the package manager did not install the .pm under the Data folder, so when I 'use Data::UUID;' it can't find it.
[03:44] <Gerinych> seveas: sorry
[03:44] <Cycom> pushnell: try installing libossp-uuid-perl maybe...
[03:44] <izinucs> jigp, its also a file from Office 2000... it's a doc file with macros
[03:44] <cars> pedro-orange: I'm so furious with it that I'm considering using Cedega.
[03:45] <Arney> anyone here have a Torrent leech invite? i need one... i got good reputation on moviex and demonoid. movieX
[03:45] <Arney> Oldarney ( Log Out ) UL: 104.78 GB DL: 20.09 GB Ratio:5.21
[03:45] <Seveas> pushnell, hmm, looking at the package now...
[03:45] <Seveas> Arney, go somewhere else.
[03:45] <jigp> izinucs : yes but I cannot open it in office 2000
[03:45] <pedro-orange> SebNaitsabes: you may find this page and it's links helpful: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia
[03:45] <Arney> where exactly
[03:45] <Seveas> Arney, I don't care, just not in here. We don't support illegal p2p things
[03:46] <pedro-orange> cars: You should check winehq appdb for games. Cegeda is worse than wine imo.
[03:46] <valros> whos familiar with anjuta
[03:46] <Cycom> pushnell: supposedly it that package above contains UUID.pm
[03:46] <Arney> its not illigal, there are many legal things there. downloading stuff you havent bought is illigal.
[03:46] <cars> pedro-orange: Worse as in compatibility?
[03:46] <izinucs> jigp, that's weird unless there was a file format change between office 97 and office 2000 like there was for the latest Office product.
[03:46] <nonewmsgs> jigp, sorry if OOo doesnt open it then idk would would
[03:47] <Seveas> pushnell, the lib-ossp-uuid-perl package (replacing libdata-uuid-perl apparently) does things correctly in intrepid
[03:47] <nonewmsgs> Arney, this isn't an argument you want to have here...you're about to get your ass banned
[03:47] <pedro-orange> cars: Worse as in getting apps to run. Plus Cedega don't contribute, and they steal alot from the wine project
[03:47] <Arney> ok then i have another question. is there a 64 bit version of ubuntu??
[03:47] <Seveas> Arney, yes
[03:47] <nonewmsgs> Arney, yes
[03:47] <Arney> awesome
[03:48] <Seveas> pushnell, the lib-ossp-uuid-perl package (replacing libdata-uuid-perl apparently) does things correctly in hardy as well
[03:48] <SebNaitsabes> pedro-orange: thanks
[03:48] <Guest99136> hey, I just installed ubuntu but i had to change my hard drive mode to ahci to get the installer to recognize the hard drive, problem is that windows does not recognize the hard drive in ahci mode, how do I get linux to recognize my hard drive now?
[03:48] <cars> pedro-orange: I thought Cedega based on a fork from wine, so they're not stealing any more.
[03:48] <pushnell> Ok, not sure if that's the same UUID package or not but checking it out.
[03:48] <valros> yeah arney, too my extreme surprise my old intel celeron booted ubuntu 64
[03:48] <pushnell> (sorry Cycom, Saveas, was trying to find out if that was the same package via cpan)
[03:48] <valros> anyone familiar with anjuta?
[03:49] <Cycom> pushnell: no problem.  I suppose you could always go the CPAN route as well :)
[03:49] <pedro-orange> cars: I've not ever used cedega out of principle, plus im not paying for it. If the apps u want are supported go for it.
[03:49] <Arney> i have a wolfdale 2.53ghz
[03:49] <Seveas> pushnell, ah... please don't ask for support for CPAN packages in here. We only support ubuntu packages
[03:50] <pushnell> Saveas: I'm sure cpan would be an easy fix, but I'm trying to feel out ubuntu, so trying to stick with ubuntu packages/methods for now.
[03:50] <Cycom> pushnell: so did you install it then?
[03:50] <Seveas> pushnell, excellent :) apt-get install libdata-uuid-perl (which installs libossp-uuid-perl)
[03:51] <Cycom> don't forget the sudo!
[03:51] <Seveas> pushnell, generally, if something is called Foo::Bar on CPAM, there's a libfoo-bar-perl package in Ubuntu
[03:51] <cars> pedro-orange: Eh, I'll just try everything with Wine first, but if it doesn't work, I'll just use virtualbox or something to run XP and run things through there (If there is any 3D graphics support for a virtual machine?)
[03:52] <Cycom> cars: VMWare 6.5 supports it for XP guests.
[03:52] <pedro-orange> cars: I would imagine virtual machines to have poor performance for games
[03:52] <Cycom> cars: it's still in beta, but it supports up to DX9
[03:52] <Cycom> pedro-orange: cars: you can also buy crossover and use that if wine doesn't support it, depending on the game.
[03:53] <pedro-orange> cars: what games do u want to play? check the wine appdb
[03:53] <cars> pedro-orange: I was hoping that coming from Vista, all the resources I'd save would make up for any poor performance :)
[03:53] <tyberion> hello
[03:53] <pedro-orange> Cycom: Isn't crossover for macs?
[03:53] <pushnell> ok, yes, that worked.  Thanks Cycom & Seveas!
[03:53] <Cycom> pedro-orange: macs AND linux.
[03:53] <tyberion> what is the basic pdf viewer command for ubuntu? which is supposed to be better than acroread?
[03:53] <Cycom> pushnell: happy to help a fellow perl masochist.
[03:54] <pedro-orange> Cycom: Then you know more about it than i do.
[03:54] <randomlogic78> I have set a package to 'hold' how can I change that so I can use apt-get to uninstall and start over
[03:54] <ushimitsudoki> tyberion: evince is one
[03:54] <Cycom> pedro-orange: yeah, I bought it a while back.  it's pretty decent, but generally not quite as good as a native linux app or a native windows app.  I was using it to run office 2007
[03:55] <pedro-orange> Cycom: you can run office2007 in wine iirc
[03:55] <mike1> hello I needed to switch my hard drive from sata to AHCI in order to get the installer to recognize my hard drive, but i need to use the hard drive in sata mode to boot into windows, how do I get linux to recognize my hard drive, i can get the details of the controller card
[03:55] <tyberion> ushimitsudoki: thanx that was the one I was looking for.
[03:56] <Cycom> pedro-orange: crossover gives you actual support for stuff like that, and supposedly submits their stuff upstream to wine.
[03:56] <sobrenow> how do i change my ip with operaq?
[03:56] <sobrenow> opera?
[03:56] <pedro-orange> sobrenow: IP doesn't control your IP its a browser
[03:56] <genii> sobrenow: I think you may want to do that with your network settings instead
[03:57] <pedro-orange> sobrenow: Opera doesn't control your IP its a browser*
[03:57] <R-800_> Hello, everyone.  I'm having an unusual amount of trouble using the online instructions on how to install GRUB loader.
[03:57] <R-800_> I get the GRUB prompt, and then fail to find the relevant folders and files in the Terminal.
[03:58] <pedro-orange> Anyway; im off.
[03:58] <R-800_> My BOOT folder seems to have only five folders in it, and none of the ones the instructions tell me to access.
[03:58] <R-800_> Five files in it, rather, not folders.
[03:58] <sobrenow> how do i do that pedro
[03:58] <sobrenow> ?
[03:58] <JunTa1> how do you start a service? i want to start syndaemon but the only way i found to do that was through command line
[03:59] <JunTa1> lets say i start syndaemon on startup and I want to change or reenable the touchpad...how would I do that?
[03:59] <paganini> Does anyone have any idea why, when logged in via XDMCP, my 'M' key only registers every other press? All the other keys seem to work fine.
[03:59] <R-800_> Is there any way to download GRUB loader before installing it?  The instructions seem to assume you have access to the necessary files on your system, but I seem not to, for some reason.
[04:00] <izinucs> R-800_, I don't know which online tutorial you're looking at but I'll see if ubutu is around.
[04:00] <R-800_> Thanks.  : )
[04:01] <izinucs> !grub | R-800_
[04:01] <R-800_> Yeah, I think that's the URL I used.
[04:01] <mn> ubuntu ftw!  I'm out
[04:02] <sobrenow> how do i tell if my proxy is werking
[04:02] <izinucs> R-800_, what are you actually trying to do?  Are you on ubuntu now?
[04:02] <Tarantulafudge> man
[04:02] <dustmop> dvdbackup keeps saying "Error reading IFO for title set". anyone know why i'm getting this?
[04:03] <valros> ........i did a very broad search and cant see it all, the terminal wont fully scroll up, a fix?
[04:03] <sobrenow> dustmop it may be a dirty lense
[04:03] <digitalfiz> encrypted dvd?
[04:03] <R-800_> Not now, no.  I'm trying to install Grub Loader so that I can have a dual boot again.  I had one originally, but after reinstalling WinXP on one drive, Ubuntu on the other cannot be accessed.
[04:03] <dustmop> ah
[04:03] <dustmop> i'll have a look at that
[04:03] <Tarantulafudge> I just installed ubuntu over my vista and I had no wireless drivers :(, i'm using some crappy modified driver from the forums
[04:03] <Cycom> Tarantulafudge: what kind of wireless card?
[04:03] <pen> anyone here know how to get the desktop trash bin back if it is offscreen ?
[04:04] <izinucs> R-800_, ah.. you can do it from a live cd .. do you have one?
[04:04] <Tarantulafudge> Cycom: rtl8187b usb (internal)
[04:04] <R-800_> izinucs: Yes.
[04:04] <Tarantulafudge> Cycom: ndiswrapper did not work
[04:04] <sobrenow> how do i get tor
[04:04] <sobrenow> ?
[04:05] <rendero> hi, everytime i start ubuntu, lot of ips blocked by firestarter same port , but different port at next reboot, any reason ?
[04:05] <digitalfiz> synaptic?
[04:05] <izinucs> R-800_, then you should be able to follow the guide here using the live cd.. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows
[04:05] <sobrenow> does anybody have a link to tor?
[04:05] <Tarantulafudge> Cycom: I was in the dark for hours, I had to reinstall vista just to get back on the net to figure out how to fix it
[04:06] <bobertdos> pen: Right-click and Add to Panel?
[04:06] <JunTa1> how do you start syndaemon without leaving the command line open?
[04:06] <pen> bobertdos, I want the trash to be on the desktop
[04:06] <pen> bobertdos, and although I checked in gconf
[04:06] <pen> bobertdos, it is not there
[04:06] <pen> bobertdos, on the desktop'
[04:06] <Tarantulafudge> is there a way to shrink everything in gnome, everything is about 3x bigger than it should be
[04:07] <sobrenow> can ene one link me to tor?
[04:07] <izinucs> !tor > sobrenow
[04:07] <R-800_> izinucs: I used that guide already.  I can only get as far as to get to the GRUB prompt in the Terminal.  The very next step fails, giving me an error that something failed to be found.  I then did some research that led me to believe that my BOOT folder was supposed to contain certain files or folders that the instructions were looking for.  But when I went to my BOOT folder afterward, I...
[04:07] <R-800_> ...found that nothing the instructions were telling me to search for were present there.
[04:07] <corunum> need help getting the internet to work in virtualbox
[04:07] <R-800_> So I then started wondering if there is a way to download this information before trying to install GRUB.
[04:07] <Cycom> Tarantulafudge: dunno much about that card :( sorry
[04:08] <sobrenow> can u send it again
[04:08] <Cycom> Tarantulafudge: have you tried it in 8.10?
[04:08] <sobrenow> ubottu
[04:08] <Tarantulafudge> Cycom: no, its not even out yet
[04:08] <Cycom> Tarantulafudge: when choosing between having hardware working and having a released OS, I chose having my hardware working.
[04:08] <izinucs> R-800_, while booted to the live cd.??  copy and paste the text to a basic text file and save it on a usb key maybe?
[04:08] <paganini> WAUGH
[04:08] <paganini> This is driving me crazy
[04:08] <Cycom> Tarantulafudge: it will be soon.  you can download the, what? alpha 6? beta?
[04:08] <paganini> Why the *M* key?
[04:09] <paganini> Why not the *N* key?
[04:09] <paganini> or something?
[04:09] <genii> JunTa1: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBootupHowto might give you some ideas
[04:09]  * paganini doesn't even know how to start finding out what could be wrong
[04:09] <R-800_> izinucs: USB key?
[04:09] <Tarantulafudge> i'm doing an update, maybe a a new kernel will mean native drivers
[04:10] <bobertdos> pen: It's in the config editor for me.
[04:10] <izinucs> R-800_, usb memory stick.. anthing that will store the file outside of the harddrive
[04:10] <R-800_> izinucs: Oh, okay.
[04:10] <bobertdos> pen: You could try setting it through the command line.
[04:10] <Ububegin> when i type ls -lst... in a particular folder.. 72 -rwxr-xr-x  1 myName myName 66505 2008-09-23 11:12 libimageOpenCV.so .. how can find out what the different columns mean
[04:10] <JunTa1> genii: thanks
[04:10] <genii> JunTa1: np
[04:10] <chipbuddy> i'm trying to get my ssh from my laptop to my desktop. when i have my laptop plugged in to a wired connection, the ssh works fine. but when i'm the wireless network it doesn't work. i think this might be because my laptop is using the wired settings for when i'm connected wirelessly. does this seem plausible, and how do i fix it?
[04:11] <R-800_> izinucs: I can do that and then display it here.  Is that what you are suggesting?
[04:11] <pen> bobertdos, the problem is that in the config editor it is checked
[04:11] <pen> bobertdos, but the icon is not showing on the desktop
[04:11] <izinucs> R-800_, no just so you'll have a copy of the instructions for when you boot to the live cd to fix grub
[04:12] <R-800_> izinucs: I don't have a problem with keeping the instructions handy while using the Live CD.  I have that problem solved already.  I thought you were asking me to save my error message from the Terminal to some outside media so that it could be shown to others later.
[04:12] <Tarantulafudge> there we go
[04:12] <izinucs> R-800_, no .. I'm sorry.. misunderstanding...
[04:13] <bobertdos> pen: and you're under the right key? apps->nautilus->desktop?
[04:13] <bobertdos> pen: Oh, and you're running as a regular user, right?
[04:13] <Ububegin> when i type ls -lst... in a particular folder.. I get this {72 -rwxr-xr-x  1 myName myName 66505 2008-09-23 11:12 libimageOpenCV.so} .. how can find out what the different columns mean
[04:13] <R-800_> izinucs: Okay.  But since it is clear now that I have the instructions while using the Live CD, what is it that you would suggest at this point?
[04:13] <pen> bobertdos, I'm the first user and it's a admin
[04:14] <izinucs> R-800_, are you on the live cd now?
[04:14] <pen> bobertdos, it was there before
[04:14] <pen> bobertdos, but somehow I forgot what I did and that icon disappeared
[04:14] <pen> bobertdos, I suspect it went offscreen
[04:14] <bobertdos> pen: I mean, are you running the config editor as just yourself (not root)
[04:15] <R-800_> izinucs: I'm not running Ubuntu at all right now, nor the CD, no.  I can't access my Ubuntu partition without GRUB, and I can't get online with the Live CD alone (because my network adapter drivers aren't on the CD).
[04:15] <bobertdos> pen: I don't see how it could go offscreen unless you're running dual monitors or something.
[04:15] <fignuts> hi
[04:16] <fignuts> is there a video and audio stream recorder for linux?
[04:16] <pen> bobertdos, I'm running as myself of course
[04:16] <izinucs> R-800_, ok.. you have two ways of fixing grub.. boot to the live cd and follow the instruction  from the links or google for "supergrub" disk and download  and burn.  It's handy to have around anyway..
[04:16] <GT> So, besides a few other very mysterious problems having to do with compiling, I'd been having an intermittent problem that kept me from shutting down properly. Something rather like this message: http://pastebin.com/d5b90f83 would repeat over, and over , and over again, endlessly. So, I followed a recommendation on the forums saying I should change my SATA operation mode from non-RAID to RAID. This seemed like a stupid idea to me, and it was. now
[04:16] <pen> bobertdos, I remember I take all the icons on the desktop and move them to other folders, then after that the trash bin disappeared
[04:17] <GT> Can anyone help me fix this, or if not, how do you get a new install of Ubuntu to recognize an already-existing separate /home partition?
[04:17] <R-800_> izinucs: Supergrub sounds promising, and as you say, may be good to have on hand.  But there may be a problem, unless there is some way to do this "burning" after having booted from the Live CD (which, in my mind, sounds unlikely).
[04:18] <izinucs> R-800_, burn from windows.. as long as you have something to burn an iso.
[04:18] <R-800_> izinucs: I don't.  Could you suggest something that's good, for free?
[04:18] <izinucs> !iso | R-800_
[04:19] <bobertdos> pen: Well, you could always try deleting all the gconf related folders in your home directory, thereby reverting everything to default and trying again.........
[04:19] <izinucs> R-800_, hang on .. I'll check in another location
[04:19] <R-800_> izinucs: I'd appreciate it.  Thanks.  I have bad luck with general links to software.  I never find just what I'm looking for.
[04:20] <pen> bobertdos, but I have changed something in gconf and I think I need that
[04:21] <Batty4> I was curious about alias assignments for Ubuntu, they don't seem to save.  Do I need to place them in .bash_profile or something?
[04:21] <bobertdos> pen: What is it you've changed?
[04:21] <izinucs> Does anyone have the name of a program to burn iso's from windows.. something reliable and "free" for R-800 ?
[04:21] <Batty4> Such as alias ll=ls -la --color=auto
[04:21] <genii> izinucs: CD Burner XP Pro
[04:21] <Batty4> Forgot apostrophes. :(
[04:21] <chris127> so, i really need an ftp client that can xfer an entire site root (obviously not 'ftp')
[04:22] <chris127> yahoo doesn't even let me use sftp (shell)
[04:22] <genii> R-800_: http://cdburnerxp.se/
[04:22] <bobertdos> R-800_: I think the Nero Burning Rom would be enough, wouldn't it?
[04:22] <chris127> I would love to tarball my site, send it, shell in, and extract it.
[04:22] <chris127> but i can't
[04:22] <chris127> so i need to upload the entire site
[04:22] <chris127> file by file
[04:22] <pen> bobertdos, like custom menu icon someother stuff for the panel and something else I forgot
[04:22] <chris127> i tried binaries for filezilla
[04:23] <chris127> but that didn't work
[04:23] <FloodBot1> chris127: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[04:23] <R-800_> genii, thanks.
[04:23] <genii> R-800_: np
[04:23] <izinucs> R-800_, http://cdburnerxp.se/
[04:23] <GT> Yeah... Does anyone know how to get a new install of Ubuntu to recognize an existing /home partition?
[04:23] <Tarantulafudge> chris127: I've always been fond of ncftp
[04:23] <izinucs> GT, change the referance in /etc/fstab
[04:23] <GT> That's just what I'll need to do. It'll fix my other problems, too...
[04:23] <chris127> Tarantulafudge: i never thought to use netcat
[04:24] <chris127> how do i install on ubuntu?
[04:24] <akio> How do I get my irda port to show up in /dev ?
[04:24] <GT> Oh, so just install as normal from LiveCD, then change the references in that?
[04:24] <chris127> i am very use to extract, configure, reconfigure, reconfigure, make, install
[04:24] <genii> chris127: Add/Remove Programs
[04:24] <chris127> i'll look into that ;)
[04:24] <Tarantulafudge> chris127: I don't think its called netcat
[04:24] <izinucs> GT, that's one way to do it.. durning install.. makes it easy.. just don't format it.
[04:25] <R-800_> izinucs: I went to the supergrubdisk.org website.  I'm assuming the ISO is under the "Download CDROM" link?
[04:25] <Tarantulafudge> chris127: its just a more advanced ftp client
[04:25] <sullyva86> what is a good way for moving files back and forth between an ubuntu host and an xp vm?
[04:25] <izinucs> R-800_, yep.. probably.. never used it myself but have heard good things about it.
[04:25] <Prophecy> ubuntu rocks !
[04:25] <R-800_> izinucs: Okay, thanks.
[04:25] <Prophecy> im fully diggin it so far
[04:26] <izinucs> sullyva86, just share a directory on ubuntu and log in from xp
[04:26] <loulinkj7> Hey this is really a general question but how do I get ubuntu 8.04 to not throttle signal strength of my netgear wireless card?  Should I use another kernel patch other than that standard one that comes with the cd?
[04:26] <Tarantulafudge> loulinkj7: does it?
[04:27] <XeKtRuM> hello
[04:27] <loulinkj7> Apparently I'm not entirely sure.  It might be in some mode that it's trying to conserver power perhaps?
[04:27] <GT> ﻿izinucs: PM?
[04:27] <GT> Oh.
[04:27] <sullyva86> izinucs: but what if i don't want people on the network having access to it?
[04:28] <XeKtRuM> i have some problems with my sound
[04:28] <izinucs> sullyva86, you have to log into the shell using your ubuntu uname and password .. if nobody knows that then your safe
[04:28] <dors> sullyva86: you could use a unix shell inside the vm
[04:28] <Jordan_U> sullyva86: Whatever VM you are using probably has a feature for making certain directories on the host available to the guest
[04:28] <regeya> hah.
[04:28] <dors> that if thr vm has no access to the drives
[04:28] <XeKtRuM> so i would like to know if theres any danger if I just reintall alsa or something like that?
[04:29] <dors> i use tcp/ip to get things in/out of vms
[04:29] <bobertdos> XeKtRuM: Alsa is still in Hardy, for legacy support purposes. You can fully switch to it in System->Preferences->Sound and through gstreamer-properties.
[04:29] <sullyva86> Jordan_U: OH its virtualbox i just installed it
[04:30] <dr3mro> my ubuntu periodically became irresponsive and get a black screen with vertical lines ?? how to diagnose the problem ???
[04:31] <sullyva86> Jordan_U: It says something about shared folders i'll try adding one that way
[04:31] <dors> periodically dr3mro ?
[04:31] <Tarantulafudge> stupid mp3 thingy
[04:31] <dr3mro> dors, accedintally not after a specific action
[04:31] <dr3mro> dors, from time to time
[04:31] <dors> are you sure its your ubuntu?
[04:32] <dors> and not a thing like cabbles or so
[04:32] <dors> weird bug
[04:32] <orbisvicis> anyone gotton the ms nfs client to connect to linux/ubuntu nfs ?
[04:32] <TopBunny88> Don't use evolution if you use att for eamil
[04:33] <dors> what video chipset you have dr3mro ?
[04:36] <orbisvicis> whats a good package/daemon that'll graphically analyze log files and generate html or images ?
[04:37] <spiritssight> what program would you use for making pubications like flyer, posters, banners, biz cards etc
[04:37] <GT> Scribus is pretty good.
[04:37] <n3lls> can someone tell me how to install AWN svn?
[04:39] <axeus> Hello.
[04:39] <bobertdos> n3lls: Are you sure you want to build from source? AWN should be in the universe repo.
[04:39] <axeus> Trying to configure my ftp daemon with pureadmin. And when I launched it I noticed I can create virtual users but they disappear when the dialog closes.
[04:39] <axeus> Also I get the log message: "[WARNING] Authentication failed for user [ftpuser]"
[04:40] <axeus> And I think I remember why now. :)
[04:40] <axeus> haha
[04:40] <n3lls> bobertdos:  yeah, i need to use some plugins as im removing all panels
[04:40] <axeus> No hmm, the pureadmin created the FTPUser and now it can't authenticate itself? 0.o
[04:42] <XeKtRuM> bobertdos, thnx but i think i did not explain what is really happening to me
[04:43] <XeKtRuM> if I enable ESD or System sounds I cant see youtube videos or similars
[04:43] <XeKtRuM> and recently if I enable system sounds i dont hear anything
[04:44] <XeKtRuM> so i was wondering if maybe i could just reinstall alsa or something
[04:44] <XeKtRuM> xD
[04:44] <XeKtRuM> other thing is that my default sound device it isnt /dev/dsp its /dev/dsp1
[04:45] <dr3mro> dors intel centrino 950gm
[04:45] <XeKtRuM> maybe thats the problem=
[04:45] <bobertdos> XeKtRuM: I still recommend trying what I initially said, and also reading the wiki. Have you read that yet?
[04:45] <bobertdos> XeKtRuM: There's a whole entry on troubleshooting audio.
[04:46] <keithclark> Hi everyone.  I have an ATI all in wonder card here and I was just wondering if there was a way to get video out of the svideo input
[04:46] <XeKtRuM> bobertdos, i will take a look at it
[04:46] <Vezir> LOL RESTART :awesome:
[04:46] <XeKtRuM> thanxs anyway
[04:46] <ballzee> are there readers like a cdrom for 8mm camcorder tapes ?
[04:46] <bobertdos> !sound > XeKtRuM
[04:47] <Gamma-X> anyone using an intel 4965 ?
[04:47] <bobertdos> n3lls: Well, do you know where the repo is? I can't seem to find it. If you install subversion, the easiest thing to do is to check out (co) the repo.
[04:48] <keisangi> hi there, i'm having troubles with intrepid ibex alpha and network manager.. every time i reboot i have to setup my network configuration manualy, network manager doesn't work at all
[04:48] <keisangi> it's simple ethernet connection, no wireless or any exotic stuff
[04:48] <dr3mro> dors, ? intel 950 gm
[04:48] <dors> intel chipsets used to have some problems in some distros, because other drivers than the intel go to the xorg.conf... the correct there is the intel
[04:49] <dr3mro> dors, laptop ??chipset
[04:49] <keisangi> what you i do ?
[04:49] <keisangi> what could i do
[04:49] <bobertdos> keisangi: Intrepid questions belong in #ubuntu+1
[04:49] <keisangi> #ubuntu+1 ? ok i try to go there
[04:49] <n3lls> bobertdos:  i have no clue where the repo is. i was considering compiling from source but a repo would be amazing
[04:49] <ryan__> I am trying to setup VirtualBox; however, when the setup screen gets to the formating part, the entire process just comes to a stop and fails.  Any advice?
[04:50] <keithclark> Ok, I will do it from windows for the time being.  Thanks.
[04:51] <troseph> !!!!!!!!!!!!
[04:51] <bobertdos> n3lls: Well, I was talking about a source repo, but I can't seem to find one. I also don't know enough about the project to know what is and is not necessary. I would certainly think the binaries for the extra plugins would be in Universe too, but maybe not.
[04:52] <Gamma-X> I tried installing new drivers for my wireless card and now i cant use my wireless card how can i reinstall my old drivers that auto recognized my wireless card?
[04:52] <XeKtRuM> there's nothing showing how to change my sound device from /dev/dsp1 to /dev/dsp
[04:52] <XeKtRuM> it is possible to do that?
[04:53] <alec> im trying to install xubuntu on an old ppc mac, and i need some help.
[04:54] <genii> alec: There are a few ppl in #ubuntu-powerpc , some might be around
[04:54] <bobertdos> XeKtRuM: Which one were you reading? Because the SoundTroubleShootingGuide has a section on changing defaults.
[04:55] <alec> genii: thanks
[04:55] <R_YoYo_R> hello all
[04:55] <genii> alec: If it's pre 603 you may be out of luck, the 601 etc linux for those is best Yellow Dog or NetBSD
[04:56] <alec> genii: im not sure if it is or not
[04:56] <XeKtRuM> o:
[04:56] <pirish> Anyone here gotten a HVR 1800 TV Tuner to work with analog?
[04:56] <chill> got a problem, tried oss v4 to fix a problem with vmware audio; didnt work; tried to go back to alsa; cant get it working again; what is the easiest way to install driver/alsa config for stac9750 (onboard sound card)?
[04:56] <alec> genii: im not sure if it is or not: its an os x ibook
[04:56] <genii> alec: You should be OK then
[04:56] <SaintYossarian> Hello, updated to FF 3.02 today on Ubuntu 8.04, now Microsoft Office Live will not load.  Any ideas?
[04:57] <R_YoYo_R> SaintYossarian, errors?
[04:57] <chill> SaintYossarian: you got a way to test it in firefox 3.02 in windows or mac?
[04:57] <genii> SaintYossarian: Use OpenOffice ?
[04:57] <SaintYossarian> genii: Not an option.
[04:57] <XeKtRuM> bobertdos, sorry i didnt see it, index 0 means that device will be on /dev/dsp?
[04:57] <SaintYossarian> chill:: No, unfortunately.
[04:57] <jigp> hello how to open .docm ?openoffice 2.4.1 cannot open this file docm
[04:57] <bobertdos> XeKtRuM: most likely
[04:58] <troseph> SaintYossarian: try using the agent switcher, it works for me
[04:58] <XeKtRuM> but : cat /proc/asound/modules only list two modules
[04:58] <chill> jigp where did you get it from ?
[04:58] <XeKtRuM> and both are the same
[04:58] <alterscape> question for ubuntu server 8.04 x86:  Trying to install on an older Dell Precision 350, which has two SCSI drives that the installer mounts as /sda and /sdb.  Whole installation works (partitioning /sda as /root) but the grub installer writes onto "hd0" (which doesn't exist) and I can't boot the install.  I've been googling around and can't figure out how to reinstall grub from the install cd..
[04:58] <bobertdos> jigp: docm or docx?
[04:58] <XeKtRuM> snd_hda_intel
[04:58] <R_YoYo_R> i have heard of docx but not docm
[04:59] <izinucs> docm has macros embeded
[05:00] <SaintYossarian> troseph:  Microsoft message implies that the problem is the OS, not the browser, will agent switcher resolve?
[05:00] <jigp> bobertdos : .docm
[05:00] <chill> anyone got a link for a tutorial to reinstall a sound card? its all fubar, doesnt even list under lsmod and /proc/asound does not exist anymore, looking for alsa configuration
[05:00] <bobertdos> XeKtRuM: I guess I'd just say try a different order, whatever you feel like.
[05:00] <bobertdos> jigp: Which I'm assuming is docx + macros?
[05:00] <XeKtRuM> ~
[05:00] <XeKtRuM> ¬¬
[05:01] <izinucs> bobertdos, is a format in office 97, 2000 etc
[05:01] <XeKtRuM> but how do I do that
[05:01] <XeKtRuM> if both modules are the same
[05:01] <XeKtRuM> snd_hda_intel
[05:01] <danbh_intrepid> !home > chill
[05:02] <bobertdos> izinucs: ah, I see
[05:02] <sp0k34> thats what she said
[05:02] <danbh_intrepid> chill: if you have a separate /home, its easy to reinstall, and many times, the easiest way to get things working again
[05:02] <jigp> bobertdos: its .docm ...
[05:03] <jigp> izinucs: 2007...not 2000..
[05:03] <alec> genii: do you know how to install xubuntu without loading the disk and going through all the setup, is there a way i can boot to terminal or something?
[05:03] <izinucs> jigp, in your case but the file format is also available in 2000
[05:04] <bobertdos> jigp: hold on, there was a tutorial for modding OpenOffice to do this using the Novell packages. Let me see if I can find it........although it was for docx, don't know if the same mod works for docm
[05:04] <genii> alec: I have previously set up netboot server on a PC which will install to a mac box. But I don't have access to it right now to help you much
[05:04] <izinucs> alec, if you have ubuntu installed and you want xubuntu. then... sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop.. log out .. then on the password entry screen change sessions to xdm or xfce
[05:04] <dors> namaste nice people... c ya all l8rzzz
[05:04] <danbh_intrepid> !fixgrub > alterscape
[05:05] <alec> izinucs, no i have a pc that i have ubuntu installed on, this is an old mac someone gave me with os x on it.
[05:05] <izinucs> alec, ah.. I'll leave it to others with more experience with that.
[05:05] <alec> but  for some reason the disk runs so slow i cant install it by going through the setup wizard thing
[05:05] <alterscape> danbh_intrepid: thank you
[05:08] <chilli0_> has anyone got Grid wars to install and work propely?

[05:11] <GT> I just now installed Ubuntu 8.04 again, like, right-just-now, linking to my separate /home partition and FORMATTING my boot partition, I booted up, and I got GRUB Error 22.
[05:12] <GT> Someone please explain to me how this is possible. >.<
[05:12] <izinucs> GT, do you have more than one harddrive?
[05:12] <bobertdos> yowshi: What was it? A proccesses list or something?
[05:13] <GT> Yes, but I haven't so much as touched the other one in quite a while.
[05:13] <JunTa1> can someone help me i'm trying to get my wireless working on my aspire one. I've done the tutorials and have had trouble after completing it for a couple of days
[05:13] <yowshi> bobertdos: i dont know. i think it is related to a game i was running that the sound flopped on and now it is jammed. whats the grep command to figure out whats using the sound drivers
[05:13] <GT> You think it's actually trying to boot off that?
[05:13] <GT> ...That's probably it.
[05:13] <izinucs> GT, that's why.. boot back t the live cd and follow the instructions on repairing grub.. I'll have ubottu send them to you
[05:13] <izinucs> !grub > GT
[05:13] <keithclark> I just can't find a solution to getting video in from and ati card.  Maybe not possible yet?
[05:14] <Bogus8> how can I get reiser4 mount support in ubuntu... I don't want to have my system there, just some storage in a raid 5
[05:14] <bobertdos> yowshi: I'm not sure, but you could always close the program and then restart Pulseaudio.
[05:14] <GT> I don't think I need that. The other one has a GRUB on it.
[05:14] <R_YoYo_R> !pulseaudio
[05:14] <Yowshi> bobertdos: using alsa not pulse audio. and the programme is closed
[05:15] <genii> Bogus8: reiser4progs
[05:15] <bobertdos> Yowshi: Well then you can restart ALSA, and actually, Pulse sits inside ALSA, so it may still make a difference.
[05:15] <izinucs> Yowshi, alsa rides on top of PulseAudio in ubuntu
[05:16] <Bogus8> genii: I think that allows you to create the filesystem but not mount  it
[05:16] <bdbdbd> ok i installed ubuntu, i added package 'build-essential' and now when i reboot the login screen flashes and the sound plays over and over again
[05:16] <genii> Bogus8: reiserfsprogs as well
[05:16] <lee__> fuck
[05:16] <Guest73579> what's goin on?
[05:16] <bdbdbd> ok i installed ubuntu, i added package 'build-essential' and now when i reboot the login screen flashes and the sound plays over and over again
[05:16] <Gamma-X> how can i get back the original drives ubuntu installed for my wireless card?
[05:16] <izinucs> bdbdbd, that wasn't ffrom build-essential
[05:17] <R_YoYo_R> bdbdbd, weird that that would be related to build-essential
[05:17] <bdbdbd> how to fix?
[05:17] <brolly81> how do i access my hard drive paritions so i can save stuff to it
[05:17] <Guest73579> mount them
[05:17] <keithclark> ok I guess I have to wait until ati decides to support me.  No problem
[05:17] <bdbdbd> oh i also installed gettext
[05:17] <Bogus8> genii: "This package contains utilities to create, check, resize, and debug ReiserFS filesystems."
[05:19] <Yowshi> bobertdos: i dont see a restart pulseaudio command in that wiki mpage
[05:19] <Gamma-X> how can i get back the original drives ubuntu installed for my wireless card?
[05:19] <brolly81> ﻿how do i access my hard drive paritions so i can save stuff to it
[05:19] <Gamma-X> brolly81, u mount them
[05:20] <genii> Bogus8: Did you also install kernel-patch-2.6-reiser4 ?
[05:20] <izinucs> Gamma-X, he's probably got permission problems
[05:20] <bdbdbd> ok i installed ubuntu, i added package 'build-essential', apt-get gettext, apt-get libsdl1.2-dev, and now when i reboot the login screen flashes and the sound plays over and over again
[05:20] <Yowshi> bobertdos: also according to my sound configuration in the preferences menu i dont even have pulseaudio installed
[05:20] <Bogus8> genii: I can't find that package anywhere
[05:21] <Daft_Punk> i love wagon wheels
[05:21] <Gamma-X> izinucs,  he could.
[05:21] <brolly81> gamma-x, how do i know which one to mount?
[05:21] <bobertdos> Yowshi: Are you not running Hardy?
[05:21] <Yoshi1> bobertdos: yes i am running hardy
[05:21] <Gamma-X> brolly81,  where do u want to store things?
[05:22] <bobertdos> Yowshi: How odd.........
[05:22] <bdbdbd> please?
[05:22] <brolly81> gamma-x on my hard drive that is already partitioned
[05:22] <bullgard4> What is the keyboard shortcut to navigate in Firefox3 to its home webpage?
[05:22] <R_YoYo_R> bdbdbd, not sure an answer is possible here
[05:22] <bdbdbd> is there a more stable version of Ubuntu available?
[05:22] <R_YoYo_R> bdbdbd, what version are you running?
[05:22] <ljsoftnet> bullgard4, try googling for it, just type "firefox shortcut"
[05:23] <Yowshi> grrrr my nick doesnt change right on this side since i am using pidhgin and i forgot my password for identifying
[05:23] <Gamma-X> brolly81, if u know how the drive is partitioned u should know where u want to store things.
[05:23] <brolly81> gamma-x i don
[05:23] <acee12345> whenever i try to play back a .mpg file with mplayer i get the following error "mplayer error opening/initializing the selected video_out (-vo) device" any ideas?
[05:23] <brolly81> gamma-x i dont know, so where do i go to see which one to mount
[05:23] <bullgard4> ljsoftnet: Unsuitable: It returns 10400 entries.
[05:24] <Yowshi> bobertdos: probably wound up uninstalled when i tried to get it to work right with secondlife and it only just buggered my entire sound system. so i had to uninstall oit
[05:24] <ljsoftnet> bullgard4, w8 i'll look for it
[05:24] <troseph> !home > troseph
[05:24] <R_YoYo_R> acee12345, open mplayer ... and click on the little wrench .. then select the video tab. .. then change video to X11 (i think)
[05:24] <brolly81> gamma-x what program or command do i use to see which one to mount
[05:24] <bdbdbd> i'm running hardy heron, 8.04 "64bit"
[05:24] <bdbdbd> intel core 2 duo
[05:24] <bdbdbd> it works as long as i dont adjust the base installation
[05:24] <bdbdbd> which of course is necessary
[05:25] <bdbdbd> i can only access it through recovery mode
[05:25] <genii> Bogus8: On my box the reiserfs kernel module seems to have been built into the initram and it works to mount without needing to specify -t fstype.
[05:25] <acee12345> ﻿R_YoYo_R: tried that same error
[05:25] <ljsoftnet> bullgard4, the shortcut for firefox to your "Home" page is "Alt+Home"
[05:25] <R_YoYo_R> bdbdbd, look at the system logs .. any errors?
[05:25] <bdbdbd> what's kubuntu?
[05:25] <Bogus8> genii: rieser4? or just rieser?
[05:25] <Gamma-X> brolly81, prolly /dev/hd*
[05:25] <bdbdbd> R_YoYo_R give me an example
[05:25] <bobertdos> Yowshi: Well, I'm not entirely sure what to suggest. Truth be told, Ibex is not that far away and Pulse has been causing us so much grief. I'm just begging people to wait patiently at this point :p
[05:26] <bdbdbd> of where to find such logs
[05:26] <R_YoYo_R> bdbdbd, an example of what?
[05:26] <genii> Bogus8: I don't have any reiser4 systems yet, just reiser, so can't test right now
[05:26] <Yowshi> bobertdos: ibex?
[05:26] <bdbdbd> of where to find such logs
[05:26] <R_YoYo_R> bdbdbd, you using gnome kde xfce ??? fluxbox? e17?
[05:26] <Gamma-X> mount /dev/hd*
[05:26] <Bogus8> genii: right, reiser3 works fine... but you can't mount reiser4, just create the file systems... real usefull *rolleyes*
[05:27] <bobertdos> Yowshi: Intrepid Ibex, the next release...
[05:27] <Gamma-X> mount /dev/hd*  /mnt/hd*
[05:27] <bullgard4> ljsoftnet: This translates on my computers to Alt+Fn+Pos1.  --  Thank you very much.
[05:27] <acee12345> ﻿R_YoYo_R: other plrograms require the vx port any way to fix that?
[05:27] <DaveKong> Is there a fix for the bug where xorg runs with a copy of itself without using cpu but doubling memory usage?
[05:27] <DK> hola alguien me puede ayudar?
[05:27] <Yowshi> bobertdos: and in the meantime what was the grep command so i could manually kill the thing jamming my drivers

[05:28] <Gamma-X> DK,  the element used to keep iron man alive?
[05:29] <TopBunny88> i am not upgrading again

[05:29] <Gamma-X> how do i find reinstall my original wireless drivers that ubuntu installed?
[05:29] <genii> Bogus8: Have you tried something as obvious as perhaps sudo mount -t reiser4 /dev/<whatever reiser4progs formatted drive> /mountpoint          ?

[05:37] <Elda> Wow :>  Did anyone caatch the ip address of alex26?  That is if he came in here anyways as I did not notice the lewd message he left me in pm until now
[05:37] <bobertdos> untermensch: then that's why gparted won't read it either. Did you exit XP properly the last time you were in?
[05:37] <Yowshi> bobertdos: anyway your command worked. i found the offending programme but if i could remember the frigging grep combo it would make the task much easier
[05:37] <untermensch> bobertdos: come to think of it.. not really
[05:38] <untermensch> bobertdos: i'll try that.. then come back if i need more help

[05:38] <untermensch> bobertdos: thank you
[05:39] <bobertdos> Yowshi: Well, if you can remember the name of the process, then you can use killall to kill it much faster.
[05:39] <amdpox> TopBunny88, eject /dev/sr0 should do it
[05:41] <Elda> Hmmm, would it be worth the effort or possible to report him to some individual?
[05:41] <Yowshi> bobertdos: yeah but i thought the process had already been ended. plus some of these programmes use obscure shortforms of the programmes name. and in the case of when my cdrom drivers jam up after burning the programme isnt running anymore just some process t started that didnt quit

[05:41] <sleepster> does anyone know how I could get sqlite with fts3 compiled in it via apt?
[05:41] <bdbdbd> not necessarily
[05:41] <bdbdbd> sda = fat/ntfs or something else
[05:41] <sleepster> I have a package and I would like to compile it with different options.. is there a way to do that?
[05:41] <hotmonkeyluv> If I have 3GB ram, do I need a swap space?
[05:42] <Gamma-X> brolly81, google what sda stands for.
[05:42] <bdbdbd> yes
[05:42] <genii> Elda: Since they left probably not. But in future you can report to #ubuntu-ops
[05:42] <bdbdbd> hotmonkeyluv yes
[05:42] <amdpox> sda means it's a sata drive I believe
[05:42] <hotmonkeyluv> bdbdbd:  ok, thanks
[05:42] <Bogus8> genii: Sorry, stepped out for a second... yes I've tried that... it doesn't know that file type

[05:42] <Elda> err ;)
[05:42] <Elda> bah... I meant to use the smiley :)
[05:43] <genii> amdpox: sda means it's either a scsi drive or using a scsi compatability layer, whatever kind of drive it is otherwise
[05:43] <amdpox> genii, ah ok
[05:43] <amdpox> it seems most new distros call everything sda
[05:44] <amdpox> I know arch called my old P-ATA drive sda

[05:59] <SebNaitsabes> and by the looks of the xconfig  that he has after he did a x recovery from Grub.  it has all the screen stuff missing, which  he had in the backup of a previous xconfig.  so I am thinking  I got to put that in the current xconfig.  and then run that other command for the changes.  and then  get him to re boot and hopefully it works

[06:04] <bdbdbd> can i have both kde and kubuntu-desktop at the same time
[06:04] <genii> bdbdbd: kde is the window manager kubuntu uses for it's desktop
[06:04] <amdpox> kde's a desktop environment, not a wm
[06:05] <timboy> amdpox, so that's compiz specific? how do I set that?
[06:05] <genii> amdpox: Apologies then
[06:05] <amdpox> timboy, yes
[06:05] <bdbdbd> genii	bdbdbd: You might want to consider package kubuntu-desktop instead of just the kde package, btw
[06:05] <genii> amdpox: kdm would be the wm
[06:05] <amdpox> it'll be in compizconfig settings somewhere
[06:05] <fluxshell> i have a relatively long string i need to paste into terminal but for some reason right click isn't working, isn't there another way i thought i heard someone talking about here one day?
[06:05] <amdpox> genii, kdm is the login screen thing
[06:05] <fluxshell> i just want to copy and paste to uninstall google earth
[06:05] <amdpox> kwin ins the window manager
[06:05] <amdpox> fluxshell, ctrl+shift+v i think
[06:06] <bdbdbd> how do i activate the network in recovery mode?
[06:06] <Bogus8> Jordan_U: how would I do it in a module... given I don't need /boot or / to live on the reiser4 system?
[06:06] <fluxshell> amdpox: nope, din't work
[06:07] <amdpox> shift-insert?
[06:07] <sleepster> how can I upgrade to use intrepid?
[06:08] <amdpox> sleepster, I believe you just have to change /etc/resolv.conf and do apt-get update && apt-get upgrade
[06:08] <amdpox> wit
[06:08] <amdpox> not resolv.conf
[06:08] <amdpox> /etc/apt/sources.list i mean, where iss my head
[06:08] <timboy> amdpox, no I switched to metacity and still the same ting
[06:08] <timboy> *thing
[06:08] <sleepster> thanks amdpox .. do you know what i have to change it too/
[06:09] <amdpox> change every occurance of hardy to intrepid i guess
[06:09] <sleepster> okie thanks
[06:09] <sleepster> amdpox: may you live to be 100
[06:09] <Blaenk> hey anyone here know how to use screen? I figured out how to name an existing session, C-a A, but I want to know how to connect to it using its name

[06:10] <sinan> I need to draw a block diagram, anyone can recommend a good application?
[06:10] <lwizardl> Blaenk, yes I did, no answer
[06:10] <bdbdbd> which 3d graphics card is the most compatible with ubuntu
[06:10] <Blaenk> lwizardl: :(
[06:10] <Blaenk> bdbdbd: possibly any modern nvidia
[06:10] <Blaenk> *probably
[06:10] <SebNaitsabes> hotmonkeyluv:  http://www.pastebin.ca/1210314
[06:10] <Blaenk> but amd has been focusing on ati linux drivers more and more so I believe some of the new ati's are also really compatible
[06:11] <arquebus> how to I make VLC my default media player?
[06:11] <TANTE_VEE> HY...
[06:11] <bdbdbd> like an 8400GS?
[06:11] <arquebus> !vlc
[06:12] <bdbdbd> blaenk not with the bundled flgfx
[06:12] <sleepster> amarok is awesome
[06:12] <lwizardl> arquebus, you select each video type (avi, mpg, ogm, etc) and right click the file then change the default on each
[06:12] <Blaenk> bdbdbd: as far as I know you must get the drivers yourself
[06:12] <TopBunny88> amarok kicks lams ass
[06:12] <Blaenk> !ati | bdbdbd
[06:13] <bdbdbd> this does not work

[06:17] <zigzags> i went to preferences, and I cant add column types other than boring stuff like date accessed, owner, etc
[06:17] <Dean> Gnea:  I've got a Broadcom wireless card

[06:18] <hotmonkeyluv> SebNaitsabes:  I had almost that exact same card, could not get it working, sorry.
[06:18] <Gnea> TopBunny88: which is your opinion, and if you really feel that your opinion outweighs the facts, please /join #ubuntu-offtopic and discuss there.
[06:18] <TopBunny88> Dell is a great company (nothing against a dell user

[06:23] <Gnea> Dean: just /ignore TopBunny88
[06:23] <Dean> ok.  what's that installing?
[06:24] <Gnea> Dean: it's a commandline application to paste output directly to pastebin.com - the lsmod | pastebinit  pastebins the output of the lsmod command, which shows what modules are loaded
[06:24] <Gnea> Dean: this way we can see what module it's really using so we can fix the problem :)
[06:24] <Dean> ok.  cool.  It's reading the database now.....
[06:25] <Dean> should I paste the result?
[06:25] <CITguy08> Thanks for the help. I'm fairly certain the MP3 player is dead.
[06:25] <Gnea> at the end it should provide a URL. when it does, just paste it here :)

[06:31] <Elda> jigp... you could probably run it as a program once you extract it, but I'd recommend installing it using the package manager :>
[06:31] <amdpox> if you go system -> synaptic package manager and search, you can install any program you like in a couple of clicks
[06:31] <Mr_Fixit> hmm.. i have a file in /var/local/ that keeps changing permissions on me.. is there something or some reason why?

[06:48] <jim_p> iFvwm: gnome-terminal -e ....
[06:48] <Dean> I used wget ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp33001-33500/sp33008.exe
[06:48] <Violetbass> it says authentication error. An unexpected Error occured.
[06:48] <iFvwm> i just want use xterm . jim_p

[06:48] <iFvwm> all other terminal can -x or -e, but xterm now. jim_p
[06:48] <Dean> Done....
[06:48] <Violetbass> ...means!
[06:48] <jim_p> Violetbass: then the password you provide is wrong
[06:48] <Violetbass> :)
[06:49] <Gnea> Dean: you should also blacklist the b43
[06:49] <Violetbass> jim_p, no
[06:49] <Dean> Gnea:  Alright.  How do I do that?
[06:49] <jedimindtrick> what does the xinerama setting do w/ nvidia-settings ?
[06:50] <Gnea> Dean: just like here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx/Feisty_No-Fluff#Step 1: All BCM43xx - Install NDISWrapper and Blacklist Native Driver        but instead of bcm43xx, it'll be b43
[06:50] <jim_p> iFvwm: its either gnome-terminal -e or -x
[06:50] <Violetbass> jim_p, it ocurres if I dont typ anyway!
[06:50] <iFvwm> jedimindtrick: want a CLI instead of nvidia-settings?
[06:51] <jim_p> :|
[06:51] <iFvwm> jim_p: i know this. :D
[06:51] <Gnea> Dean: or http://tinyurl.com/25s9wv if it doesn't look right :)

[06:51] <jedimindtrick> iFvwm: what you mean ?
[06:51] <jedimindtrick> im just wondering what the xinerama thing does ?
[06:52] <Violetbass> jim_p, deamons and others

[06:52] <amdpox> jigp, the tar.gz is not the best way to install it
[06:52] <spiritssight> I am having trouble saving to my thrumb drive
[06:52] <Gnea> jedimindtrick: it basically takes your desktop, stretches it, and displays it on 2 or more monitors at once
[06:52] <Violetbass> anyone ever heard of my error?
[06:52] <adele> Hi could somebody please help me with sound configuration on Ubuntu?
[06:52] <Dean> Gnea:  Should I enter in the remaining two lines after the 1st one is entered?
[06:53] <Rat409> iFvwm: xterm -e mc works also
[06:53] <Gnea> Dean: yes.
[06:53] <Dean> ok
[06:53] <jedimindtrick> Gnea: do you have to have the same resolution on each monitor in that case ?
[06:53] <jedimindtrick> id imagine so
[06:53] <iFvwm> Rat409: ooo, if you can give me your "echo $TERM" result?
[06:53] <adele> It seems that hardware is installed but when I play nothing can be heared
[06:53] <Dean> Gnea:  working........
[06:54] <Dean> Gnea:  Done
[06:54] <Gnea> jedimindtrick: yes - 1024x768 and 1024x768, for instance, would give you a desktop resolution of 2048x768
[06:54] <spiritssight> I get a error when I try to save documents that I have edited thats on my flash drive, any help would be great
[06:54] <Rat409> iFvwm: xterm
[06:54] <afallenhope> sooo my flash player doesnt work after updating firefox.. how do I get it back/
[06:54] <adele> Anyone?
[06:55] <Gnea> Dean: did you download the .exe?
[06:55] <Dean> Gnea:  I think so.  not 100% certain
[06:55] <iFvwm> Rat409: so strange now. thanks
[06:55] <afallenhope> anyone gonna provide some support? or....
[06:55] <iFvwm> it same to me
[06:55] <Gnea> Dean: wget ftp://ftp.compaq.com/pub/softpaq/sp33001-33500/sp33008.exe
[06:56] <Dean> k
[06:56] <[Solars]> which ubuntu would you fetch (processor wise) for a intel dualdou 3.12Ghz standard or the "64bit amd and intel"
[06:56] <pen> do anyone here know any newsgroup client other than thunderbird or other client
[06:56] <Gnea> [Solars]: 64bit
[06:56] <jim_p> Violetbass: the System > Administrator > Services?
[06:56] <Rat409> pen: pan
[06:56] <Violetbass> jim_p, yes
[06:56] <pen> Rat409, it's for school, and it's not connecting
[06:56] <pen> Rat409, I tried pan
[06:57] <pen> Rat409, don't know why it doesn't work
[06:57] <spiritssight> Help needed please I can not save to my thrub drive / flash drive
[06:57] <Dean> Gnea:  It's finished
[06:57] <Rat409> pen: xnews maybe?
[06:57] <jim_p> Violetbass: i am searching to find what command is that at the terminal
[06:57] <[Solars]> gnea erm then the image i got is broke.... loads up the splash screen but if i select to try without install, check memory, or check to see if disc is okay it locks up
[06:57] <pen> Rat409, xnews?
[06:57] <[Solars]> dunno if it just me or what
[06:58] <Gnea> Dean: make sure the sp33008.exe is in your ~/bcm43xx/ dir and then do the cabextract on it
[06:58] <pen> Rat409, is that for linux?
[06:58] <Gnea> [Solars]: press F6 and eliminate the 'quiet splash' at the end of the bootline so you can see the error message when it locks up
[06:58] <Violetbass> jim_p, there is one running "SystemToolsBack"
[06:58] <Dean> Gnea:  It is there.  Do I just enter cabextract?
[06:58] <Rat409> pen: sorry no try here  http://www.newsreaders.com/unix/clients.html
[06:59] <afallenhope> anyone know why I can't have flash?
[06:59] <Gnea> Dean: just like on the website
[06:59] <[Solars]> gnea kk will do
[06:59] <Dean> Gnea:  Ok
[06:59]  * [Solars] restarts his other pc now
[07:00] <pen> Rat409, cool
[07:00] <pen> thx
[07:00] <Dean> Gnea:  All done
[07:00] <afallenhope> anyone.....know as to why flash is not working... after .....the firefox update (v3.0.2
[07:01] <[Solars]> Gnea forogtten to mention a window does pop up "kernel loading" and it stays at 3%
[07:01] <mhz128> hi all
[07:01] <[Solars]> and i did eliminate that and does the same thing
[07:01] <mhz128> How can I prevent nm-applet from loading during bootup?
[07:01] <mhz128> I would like to use a static IP to allow for port forwarding
[07:01] <hotmonkeyluv> does anyone know the way to untar a .tar.gz file with the command line?
[07:01] <HyperD> would someone be able to tell me why linux doesn't do fonts right even while I have my graphics drivers installed?
[07:01] <Gnea> Dean: okay, go ahead and turn the wireless interface off physically.  then, verify that it's off with iwconfig
[07:01] <hotmonkeyluv> HyperD:  try installing msttfcore-fonts
[07:02] <arquebus> is adobe acrobat pdf reader in the ubuntu repos?
[07:02] <HyperD> tar -zxvf
[07:02] <Dean> Gnea:  Ok.  Once that is done, I won't be in the chat.....
[07:02] <afallenhope> anyone.....know as to why flash is not working... after .....the firefox update (v3.0.2
[07:02] <hf_linux> if UserToGroup(models.Model) has no primary key,how can i retrieve the data?
[07:02] <Gnea> Dean: eh... got some cat5?
[07:02] <hf_linux> OperationalError: (1054, "Unknown column 'USER_TO_GROUP.id' in 'field list'")
[07:03] <Dean> Gnea:  Yup
[07:03] <Dean> I can plug in
[07:03] <Gnea> Dean: let me know when you have that set
[07:03] <Dean> be a min
[07:03]  * [Solars] ponders how long is it suppose to take to load the kernel
[07:03] <Gnea> :)
[07:03] <hotmonkeyluv> thank you HyperD
[07:03] <HyperD> no prob :)
[07:03] <Gnea> [Solars]: shouldn't take very long... how much memory do you have?
[07:03] <[Solars]> gnea 4Gs
[07:04] <Gnea> [Solars]: nice.  did it scroll a whole bunch of text by and then just stop?
[07:04] <[Solars]> err 4GB
[07:04] <[Solars]> just stopped
[07:04] <afallenhope> this room is so useless
[07:04] <[Solars]> at 3%
[07:04] <[Solars]> ohh now i get an error
[07:04] <jim_p> !alsaconf
[07:04] <[Solars]> "error reading boot cd"
[07:05] <Gnea> !patience | afallenhope
[07:05] <jim_p> how do i ask the bot to find me in which package is alsaconf included?
[07:05] <Gnea> afallenhope: i've upgraded to 3.0.2 on 3 different systems today, flash worked fine. maybe you need to check about:plugins
[07:05] <[Solars]> do i need to burn another image?
[07:05] <legend2440> !info alsaconf
[07:05] <Jordan_U> jim_p: apt-file search alsaconf
[07:06] <afallenhope> Gnea, it worked.... however.. then it simply stopped.
[07:06] <Gnea> [Solars]: probably
[07:06] <Jordan_U> jim_p: No bot needed
[07:06] <HyperD> why does my password not work in terminal when I try to su?
[07:06]  * [Solars] reboots his box back in winxp64pro
[07:06] <Jordan_U> jim_p: If you really want to use the bot then "/msg ubottu find alsaconf"
[07:06] <afallenhope> Gnea,  what about shockwave?
[07:06] <Gnea> afallenhope: have you tried searching the bug reports to see if someone else has had this problem yet?
[07:07] <Rat409> !sudo | HyperD
[07:07] <afallenhope> Gnea, yeah... and they said to uninstall / reinstall
[07:07] <Gnea> afallenhope: it's called "adobe shockwave flash"
[07:07] <jim_p> Jordan_U:  apt-file: command not found
[07:07] <afallenhope> Gnea, didn't work. sooooooooo what I did was uninstalled firefox
[07:07] <Gnea> afallenhope: ah, which one did you reinstall? what's the name of the package?
[07:07] <Rat409> !root | HyperD
[07:07] <afallenhope> Gnea, firefox3
[07:07] <arquebus> afallenhope: did you reboot after upgrading to ff3? it wont work right till you reboot
[07:07] <Jordan_U> jim_p: sudo apt-get install apt-file
[07:07] <Gnea> afallenhope: no, of the flash plugin
[07:07] <afallenhope> arquebus, that I did not do. thanks
[07:08] <jim_p> Jordan_U: File alsaconf found in Use, of, uninitialized, value, in (and 32 others) (bots answer)
[07:08] <afallenhope> Gnea, flashplayer-nonfree
[07:08] <Gnea> arquebus: wut?
[07:08] <Jordan_U> jim_p: Then it's not in any package
[07:08] <arquebus> Gnea: you know, reboot
[07:08] <Gnea> afallenhope: no need to reboot, the only reason to ever reboot is if there's a new kernel or a hardware change
[07:08] <Gnea> arquebus: this isn't windows.
[07:08] <jim_p> Jordan_U: then how do i have it and run it and someone else doesnt?
[07:09] <pen> Rat409, hey, is xrn good?
[07:09] <Rat409> pen: xpn is what i used last,closest unix app so far to forte's free agent in 'doze
[07:09] <Jordan_U> jim_p: What version of Ubuntu are you using?
[07:09] <Gnea> arquebus: wrong. i upgraded 3 systems today and didn't reboot any of them. even the windows xp system that i upgraded it on didn't need a reboot.
[07:09] <tophyr> hi, please forgive if this is a newb q - i have libgps-2.36-2 installed, and i need libgps-2.37~rc1-1. how can i get this?
[07:09] <|joshua|> can someone show me how to connect to windows vista folders?
[07:09] <tophyr> |joshua|: google for "samba"
[07:09] <Ientzy> Hi- i have 1 question, is posible to configurate wine and all user from 1 machine to have same software and soft configuration in wine?i fiind 1 solution but i don`t have shortcut in accesory menu, that is the bigest problem :(....can any1 help me pls
[07:09] <jim_p> Jordan_U: 8.04 from server command line only to full desktop
[07:09] <Rat409> pen: just unpack to a /home/folder,click the xpn.py
[07:09] <Gnea> tophyr: no, he wants to browse vista *from* ubuntu
[07:10] <pen> Rat409, so no deb?
[07:10] <arquebus> Gnea: I know youre right, but once in a while you have to reboot for certain apps, and I can tell you that ff was screwing up for me, till I noticed the reboot icon on teh toolbar
[07:10] <pen> Rat409, or repository?
[07:10] <[Solars]> gnea heh now i gotta wait for neuro to finish burning the cd and verify it... about 5 mins or so ... does ubuntu have a problem being installed on isch9 raids ?
[07:10] <tophyr> smbclient can do that, can't it?
[07:10] <pen> Rat409, just py?
[07:10] <Gnea> and as I told him:  Places->Network->Windows Network
[07:10] <Jordan_U> jim_p: You sure you aren't thinking of asoundconf?
[07:10] <mhz128> How can I setup a Static Wireless IP in Hardy, without using Network Manager?
[07:10] <|joshua|> that doesnt work
[07:10] <Rat409> pen: .py=python  http://xpn.altervista.org/index-en.html
[07:10] <|joshua|> i go there and there nothing there
[07:10] <Gnea> arquebus: that's because you installed a new kernel at the same time ;)
[07:10] <Jordan_U> mhz128: System -> Administration -> Networking
[07:10] <arquebus> Gnea: ok
[07:10] <|joshua|> i dont see networking
[07:10] <pen> Rat409, I know py
[07:11] <|joshua|> do i have to install that?
[07:11] <Gnea> |joshua|: it's just above 'connect to server...'
[07:11] <Rat409> pen: think its exec by default
[07:11] <mhz128> Jordan_U: Yes, I've used that app to set it up.... however, how do I force it to connect? I've killed nm-applet.
[07:11] <jedimindtrick> how do you stop ubuntu from displaying an icon on the desktop for mounted drives? or even modifying where they show up?
[07:12] <pen> Rat409, I found a deb for intrepid in packages.ubuntu.com
[07:12] <Jordan_U> mhz128: sudo ifup <interface>
[07:12] <pen> Rat409, for xpn
[07:12] <Rat409> pen:  thanks :)
[07:12] <pen> Rat409, it's better to have a deb
[07:12] <zool|wrk> what name russian channel?
[07:12] <josok_> Gnea:  I'm back
[07:12] <Seveas> !ru | zool|wrk
[07:12] <R-800_> Hi, all.  I'm having the worst luck on earth.  WARNING: Unusual Question Follows: Is there any way to install GRUB loader without using an ISO burned to disk?  Please do not ask me why I need an alternative way to install it.  By the way, I have the Live CD, but have no knowledge of how it may help me do this.
[07:12] <Rat409> !ru | zool|wrk
[07:12] <zool|wrk> thanks
[07:12] <mhz128> Jordan_U: ifup ath0 is already configured... still no connection
[07:12] <Rat409> whoops late
[07:12] <Gnea> josok_: okay, did turning the wireless switch off actually remove the wlan0 interface?
[07:13] <mhz128> Jordan_U: iwconfig says no access point
[07:13] <Jahooty> i'm having trouble getting my atheros wireless card working with ubuntu.  the proprietary drivers dialog says it's using the atheros drivers but i can't actually get a wifi connection
[07:13] <Jordan_U> mhz128: sudo ifdown ath0 && sudo ifup ath0
[07:13] <josok_> Oop.  Name change.  heh
[07:13] <Seveas> R-800_, the live cd you have *is* on a disk?
[07:13] <R-800_> Seveas, correct.
[07:13] <Seveas> or is that the iso?
[07:13] <Seveas> R-800_, excellent, boot from that and come back :)
[07:13] <pen> Rat409, well
[07:13] <josok_> Gnea:  Lets see
[07:13] <pen> Rat409, somehow it is not starting
[07:14] <pen> Rat409, strange
[07:14] <josok_> Gnea:  No
[07:14] <R-800_> Seveas, I can't get online when I boot from the Live CD because my network adapter drivers are not on the CD, so I can boot from it, but I won't be able to "come back."
[07:14] <[Solars]> Gnea kk that other box is about to rebooot, going to try and remove that boot parm and see what happens
[07:14] <Jordan_U> R-800_: You can install grub4DOS or boot from a USB stick
[07:14] <Gnea> josok_: okay, then try this:   sudo rmmod b43
[07:14] <Rat409> pen: try apt-get -f install or use gdebi
[07:14] <Seveas> R-800_, ok... then please wait a minute while I grab the docs for you
[07:14] <Ientzy> Hi- i have 1 question, is posible to configurate wine and all user from 1 machine to have same software and soft configuration in wine?i fiind 1 solution but i don`t have shortcut in accesory menu, that is the bigest problem :(....can any1 help me pls
[07:14] <josok_> Gnea:  done
[07:15] <Gnea> josok_: iwconfig?
[07:15] <mhz128> Jordan_U: Still not associated... i dont ge tit
[07:15] <mhz128> get it
[07:15] <pen> Rat409, I already did
[07:15] <josok_> no wireless extensions
[07:15] <Gnea> good.
[07:15] <pen> Rat409, should I log out or do something?
[07:15] <Rat409> pen: strange
[07:15] <josok_> Gnea:  coo
[07:15] <Seveas> R-800, follow this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows
[07:15] <Gnea> josok_: now, just perform the ndiswrapper setup instructions
[07:15] <Rat409> pen i didn't ned too hmm
[07:16] <josok_> alright...
[07:16] <pen> Rat409, it says an instance of xpn is running
[07:16] <pen> Rat409, but I see no window
[07:16] <josok_> Gnea:  That would be step 3 I assume
[07:16] <Jordan_U> Ientzy: You have tried copying / symlinking ~/.wine ?
[07:16] <Rat409> pen it may be a tray-icon  try killall xpn then try again or in your menu
[07:17] <Yekyaa> lol
[07:17] <Yekyaa> hotmail isn't letting me in
[07:17] <R-800> Seveas, no offense to you at all, as I appreciate your help, but I've been through all that, and something is missing in my system (I suspect anyway) that prevents me from following those instructions.  Something is not found after I get the GRUB prompt in the terminal.  But you've got me wondering, what might I install on a USB stick, for booting that way?
[07:17] <SiDi> Hi Hi
[07:17] <Yekyaa> firefox detected it as a "Redirect Loop" and gave up attempting the request after less than 5 seconds b/c it keeps redirecting back to an invalid page or something
[07:17] <SiDi> Does anyone know why would Firefox load my old bookmarks at each reboot and not save the new ones ?
[07:17] <[Solars]> Gnea seems that a new cd burn is what it took
[07:17] <pen> Rat409, still
[07:17] <pen> Rat409, an instance is already running
[07:17] <Gnea> [Solars]: awesome
[07:17] <[Solars]> we'll see how far it goes till the next thing breaks lol
[07:17] <Gnea> josok_: yup
[07:18] <Ientzy> Jordan_U i make shortcut automatical for desktop, but i don`t know to insert them in menu accesorry automatical
[07:18] <[Solars]> right now its finding out I don't have a fd0
[07:18] <josok_> Gnea:  Ok..... working
[07:18] <Seveas> R-800, you could put the live cd + syslinux on a usbstick so you can boot from it. But that will give the same results.
[07:18] <Seveas> R-800, some more info on what seems missing would be helpful, the complete output of grub would help
[07:18] <Jordan_U> R-800: It's really easy to make a fedora Live USB install ( it's officially supported even ), from there you can easily install grub ( you can also do the same with Ubuntu, it's just not officially supported )
[07:19] <josok_> Gnea:  Done
[07:19] <R-800> Severas, understood.  Same results or no, I still wonder how that would work, because booting from a USB stick sounds like something I'd have to enable in the BIOS, and I don't believe my system would have such a setting (assuming that is the way it's set up).
[07:19] <Rat409> pen: i used a tarball from homepage,it may be a lib's-version issue because of intrepid .deb
[07:19] <SiDi> Ientzy, it's through Nautilus. You got an option to add "signets" (french word sry :P), and if u add any they'll pop up the shortcuts the taskbar too
[07:20] <Gnea> josok_: alright, now try:  sudo modprobe ndiswrapper
[07:20] <[Solars]> hopefully "install" doesn't overwrite what i have on my first set of RAID0
[07:20] <R-800> Jordan_U: What would I have to download to do that?
[07:20] <josok_> Gnea:  k
[07:20] <SiDi> Does anyone know why Firefox loads my old bookmarks at each reboot and refuses to save new ones ?
[07:20] <josok_> done
[07:20] <pen> Rat409, you mean the python lib?
[07:20] <Ientzy> SiDi: i must to make this automatical for all new user not for 1
[07:20] <Gnea> josok_: anything in iwconfig now?
[07:21] <Rat409> pen: yes or another depends,sorry i'm using version 1.0.0
[07:21] <josok_> Gnea:  No wireless extensions
[07:21] <SiDi> Sorry Ientzy i don't know then :/
[07:21] <Gnea> josok_: dmesg | pastebinit
[07:21] <Jordan_U> R-800: I assume you are running windows?
[07:21] <mhz128> Jordan_U: iwlist shows 2 peers in range, how do I make the card connect to a specific MAC address?
[07:21] <josok_> Gnea:  http://pastebin.com/f1dd6d912
[07:21] <R-800> Jordan_U: Yes, but not for long, at this rate, because I'm really fed up with it.  : )
[07:21] <pen> Rat409, I'm confused
[07:22] <SiDi> R-800 did you look at your BIOS option?
[07:22] <SiDi> Motherboards without USB boot are pretty rare nowadays
[07:22] <Jordan_U> mhz128: I don't know off hand, try "man iwconfig"
[07:22] <R-800> SiDi: Not lately, but I'm pretty sure there's no such option.
[07:22] <Ientzy> already have 1 solition (copy all software in to /etc/skel and now all user have same aplications and same configuration, but i don`t know how to maybe a script to insert shortcut for menu(accesory)
[07:22] <Rat409> pen:  i didn't use a deb pkg and my xpn version is 1.0.0
[07:22] <jedimindtrick> how do you stop ubuntu from displaying an icon on the desktop for mounted drives?
[07:22] <SiDi> It's at the same place than those for booting on CD / HDD0
[07:22] <Jordan_U> R-800: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/2008/04/09/usb-ubuntu-804-installation-from-windows/
[07:22] <SiDi> Usually there is also USB0 option
[07:23]  * SiDi is going at uni now, bye byez
[07:23] <FuriousGeorge> hey all
[07:23] <R-800> Jordan_U: Thanks.  Can I assume that this will allow me to install GRUB without reinstalling Ubuntu (meaning that it will leave my current Ubuntu installation in tact)?
[07:23] <FuriousGeorge> i have a usb->ps2 adapter that works with gentoo, but not with kubuntu 8.04.1
[07:24] <pen> Rat409, let me log out and see
[07:24] <josok_> Gnea:  Wireless does not come up with manual attempt
[07:24] <[Solars]> so erm slight problem
[07:24] <FuriousGeorge> not sure whats going on.  the box advertises linux compatibility, and i see the usbhid module is loaded
[07:24] <Gnea> josok_: okay - how about: ndiswrapper -l | pastebinit
[07:24] <[Solars]> ubuntu wants to install on one of the sata drives instead of the raid of drives
[07:24] <josok_> Gnea:  OK
[07:24] <[Solars]> if it does that it'll wreck things up
[07:25] <josok_> Er, 'Error no arguments specified
[07:25] <mrkris> Any idea why when running Hardy 64bit the Hardware Virtualization flag isn't available in cpuflags, yet 32bit it exists?
[07:25] <josok_> I don't have anything for -l
[07:25] <Jordan_U> !grub | R-800 Once you are booted from the flash drive use the first link:
[07:25] <NCommander> MrKennie, what sorta machine are you running?
[07:26] <R-800> Jordan_U: I just ask this to be clear, but do I need to be able to boot from a USB stick to do this procedure you link to?  Because I may not be able to do that (no BIOS option to boot from USB stick).  Since all I really want is to install GRUB, it seems to me that there should be something I can download that will do that more directly.
[07:26] <NCommander> (i.e., Sony or somebody elses)
[07:26] <Gnea> josok_: okay - you went through all of the steps of Step 3?
[07:26] <mrkris> NCommander: MrKennie or myself?
[07:26] <NCommander> oh, mrkris :-)
[07:26] <NCommander> sorry
[07:26] <josok_> Gnea:  As it was laid out yes
[07:26] <NCommander> autocomplete strikes again
[07:27] <Jordan_U> R-800: https://gna.org/projects/grub4dos/ But I have never used it before
[07:27] <mrkris> NCommander: honestly, not quite sure, it's a dedicated server. A Dell w/ 2160 1.8ghz dualcore
[07:27] <R-800> Jordan_U: Thank you.
[07:27] <josok_> Gnea:  As it was laid out yes
[07:27] <Jordan_U> R-800: np
[07:27] <NCommander> mrkris, some Sony's have VTx compoletely disabled. Usually though to make it work, you need to enable VTx in the kernel, then load the module and then pray
[07:27] <spiritssight> I need help with geting my files able to be saved to my flash drive, when trying to save or copy files to the drive it gives a error
[07:27] <mrkris> Not a Sony :)

[07:28] <Yekyaa> that's what happened when i tried to access hotmail just now
[07:28] <ivanpd> the system works ok now, but console only.
[07:28] <josok_> Gnea:  Now my wireless doesn't even show up.  Hmmm
[07:29] <Gnea> josok_: it looks like we need to try the next option.
[07:29] <josok_> Gnea:  Right
[07:29] <ivanpd> any ideas where should I look?

[07:31] <sysdoc> Is there a way to add to the menu when you rt clk a dir, the option to "open a terminal window".
[07:31] <krish_> i recently installed nvu
[07:31] <R-800> Jordan_U: I don't see any instructions for GRUB4dos.  Does it run in Windows, or do I have to boot to a command line?
[07:31] <krish_> but not able to find it on the menu
[07:31] <linxuz3r> sup man
[07:31] <linxuz3r> sup krish_
[07:31] <Rat409> pen: what's the error?
[07:31] <krish_> can someone tell me how should i find where it is
[07:32] <R-800> Jordan_U: If you don't know, that's fine.
[07:32] <pen> Rat409, http://paste2.org/p/78485
[07:32] <Rat409> krish_: problu /usr/bin
[07:32] <Jordan_U> R-800: I have never used it before, I know that there is some way to do it because wubi installs from windows, I just don't know how
[07:32] <linxuz3r> tommorrow i start 3d programming
[07:32] <R-800> Jordan_U: I'll look into it.  Thanks.

[07:34] <pen> Rat409, but I don't know why it can't run
[07:34] <Rat409> pen: sorry no idea best to try another app i guess,probly faster too than debugging your current
[07:34] <Rat409> pen: or download it from the hompage,try it
[07:35] <josok_> Gnea:  You still here?
[07:35] <Jordan_U> pen: Try disabling compiz if you use it
[07:35] <pen> Jordan_U, compiz?
[07:35] <mryanbrown> how do i add hardy source repo to my list?
[07:35] <mryanbrown> i added the cdrom etc full cliky mark thing in the source checkbox
[07:36] <Jordan_U> pen: I had a similar error once that went away when using metacity, it's just a stab in the dark though
[07:36] <clarence_> How fast do a 4.4Gigs file download need two hours?
[07:36] <krish_> how to unmount a cdrom in ubuntu server edition?
[07:37] <mryanbrown> because its .8MB/s
[07:37] <Jordan_U> krish_: eject
[07:37] <krish_> simply eject?
[07:37] <Rat409> krish_: sudo umount /dev/cdrom
[07:37] <Jordan_U> krish_: Yup
[07:37] <krish_> ok
[07:37] <R-800> Jordan_U: According to the included readme file, GRUB4dos can boot any installed OS (good) but can only do so from a genuine (not emulated) DOS environment (bad).
[07:38] <Jordan_U> R-800: Let me check what wubi uses
[07:38] <Gnea> josok_: yes, try this one out and repeat step 3: wget ftp://ftp.compaq.com/pub/softpaq/sp34001-34500/sp34152.exe
[07:38] <R-800> Jordan_U: Wait, I guess it does run in Windows.  My bad.
[07:39] <Rat409> R-800: get the grub live-cd  http://www.supergrubdisk.org/
[07:39] <Rat409> R-800: well one option at least
[07:40] <R-800> Rat409, I'd love to, but I have no burning software right now in Windows.  Know any good programs for that (ones that don't require .NET framework greater than version 1.1)?
[07:40] <Rat409> R-800: sorry vista lasted all of 5mins/1 login here
[07:41] <R-800> Rat409: I don't get it.  Who's running Vista?
[07:41] <Ientzy> Hi- i have 1 question, is posible to configurate wine and all user from 1 machine to have same software and soft configuration in wine?i fiind 1 solution but i don`t have shortcut in accesory menu, that is the bigest problem, what i must to change to make automatical shortcut for all new user, how logon to that workstation? :(....can any1 help me pls (PRV me pls)
[07:41] <Rat409> R-800: .net=windows,no?
[07:41] <R-800> Rat409: Yes, but not every version of Windows is Vista, so I wondered what you were trying to say.
[07:42] <Rat409> ohh sorry 02:41 here
[07:42] <pen> Jordan_U, same thing
[07:42] <pen> Jordan_U, don't know why
[07:42] <R-800> Jordan_U: Don't go to any trouble.  I think GRUB4dos does run in Windows after all, but it was misleading.
[07:43] <afallenhope> is there a way of going back to the old firefox this one crashes WAY too much
[07:44] <josok__> Gnea:  I've put back up my old drivers.  Wireless is now working
[07:44] <Jordan_U> R-800: If you do get grub4DOS installed I am not sure if it will automatically update when new kernels come out, if it doesn't you should probably install the packaged grub once you're booted into Ubuntu
[07:44] <R-800> My God, I can't make heads or tails out of this readme file!
[07:44] <Gnea> josok__: at the slow speed?
[07:44] <Rat409> pen:  i need to crash also.sorry xpn works here in hardy or i wouldn't have suggessted it
[07:45] <hateball> R-800: man tail :|
[07:45] <pen> Rat409, are you using compiz?
[07:45] <R-800> Jordan_U: By "packaged grub" do you mean the one on the Live CD?
[07:45] <Rat409> no
[07:45] <pen> Rat409, but even if I switch back to metacity
[07:45] <josok__> Gnea:  Though iwconfig tells me it's at a rate of 54 mb/s
[07:45] <pen> Rat409, it still give me that message
[07:45] <krish_> how can i view a software tht i just installed on ubuntu?
[07:45] <Gnea> josok__: has it ever done that before?
[07:45] <josok__> No
[07:45] <pen> Rat409, do you think I need to update my python?
[07:46] <josok__> network transfer speeds are slow though
[07:46] <josok__> 1.8 mb/s
[07:46] <josok__> ugh
[07:46] <Rat409> pen: i did not use a .deb from ubuntu packages search,dwnlded it from programs project page
[07:46] <Jordan_U> R-800: The one in the repositories, which is also the one on the LiveCD ( just follow the instructions for restoring grub from the liveCD, it's the same exact procedure from an installed system, though obviously not done nearly as often :)
[07:47] <R-800> Jordan_U: Having trouble getting your meaning there.  Are you pointing me somewhere for instructions?
[07:47] <Jordan_U> krish_: What did you install?
[07:47] <pen> Rat409, same thing
[07:47] <josok__> Gnea:  My connection information tells me that my network speed is 2 MB
[07:47] <pen> Rat409, even if I run from the source
[07:47] <Jordan_U> !grub | R-800
[07:47]  * R-800 sighs.
[07:47] <pen> Rat409, this is unacceptable, maybe my hardy is severly messed up D:
[07:47] <R-800> Thanks anyway.
[07:48] <Rat409> pen: i wouldn't try upgrading libs for 1 app which may not work .i hate to bail but bedtime.
[07:48] <Jordan_U> R-800: I meant that as something to do *after* getting Grub4DOS working, I know it doesn't help you at the moment :)
[07:48] <krish_> jordan i installed NVU
[07:48] <pen> Rat409, gn
[07:48] <Rat409> pen: i keep my install up to date tho daily
[07:48] <R-800> Jordan_U: I see.  Understood.
[07:48] <pen> Rat409, same here
[07:49] <Rat409> sorry for the hassle i can give you a screenie as proof if need be
[07:49] <R-800> Jordan_U: Sorry if I sounded exasperated, but that link has been thrown at me a lot lately (and not just by you, you understand).  : )
[07:49] <zcat[1]> grub floppies.. hmmm.. I've got four machines here and none have a floppy drive.. even the old ones
[07:50] <R-800> zcat[1]: I know what you mean.
[07:50] <Gnea> josok__: okay, well give the other .inf a try whenever you're up to it
[07:50] <R-800> zcat[1]: I'm not against the use of floppies at all, but good luck finding a machine that uses them these days.
[07:50] <josok__> sure
[07:50] <krish_> how can i view a software tht i just installed on ubuntu?
[07:50] <josok__> Gnea:  Back to cat5?
[07:51] <Gnea> josok__: might as well
[07:51] <ubuntu> 好地方
[07:52] <Darksider> can someone help me with a gphpedit colour issue?
[07:52] <Dean> Gnea:  Back
[07:52] <Chousuke> !zh | ubuntu
[07:53] <Jimm_> How can I tell if my wireless card is using the b43 or bcm43xx driver?
[07:53] <Darksider> ive just set up gphpedit for, would you believe it, editing php scripts. ive gone for a light-on-dark colour scheme. my only problem is the typing position blinker is black and thus, i cannot see it. i cant find anything on the net not in the program literature so i was wondering if theres some little hidden file i could change a value in to get it to flash red...or green...or something. anyone?
[07:54] <zcat[1]> lsmod ?
[07:54] <Darksider> nor in the program literature*
[07:54] <Jimm_> zcat[1], ok thanks it seems im using mac80211, b43
[07:56] <Jimm_> zcat[1], I noticed that 'modprobe -l' shows that the bcm43xx driver is being loaded along with the legacy driver. Is it ok to leave them there?
[07:56] <zcat[1]> Jimm_: not sure. You could add bcm43 to the blacklist if you don't want it loaded
[07:57] <Jimm_> zcat[1], It's already in the blacklist, i'm just wondering if I should put legacy there too?
[07:58] <zcat[1]> no diea sorry ;
[07:58] <zcat[1]> *idea
[07:58] <Jimm_> zcat[1], actually now that I think of it, should the module still show in modprobe even if it is blacklisted?
[07:59] <R-800> Aarrrgh!  Even the instructions for REPAIRING a GRUB tells me to do the same thing, which will not work.  If I dare type "find /boot/grub/stage1" at the GRUB prompt, it won't be found.  No documentation I've ever found addresses this.
[08:00] <Jimm_> R-800, all that command does is tell you where grub is located so you can proceed
[08:01] <R-800> Jimm_:  And it won't find stage1.  So I can't proceed.
[08:01] <Gnea> Dean: any luck yet?
[08:01] <Jordan_U> R-800: Why exactly isn't grub installed?
[08:01] <Jimm_> R-800, do you have an operating system with grub installed?
[08:01] <R-800> Jordan_U: I don't know.  That is the mystery of the century.
[08:02] <Dean> Gnea:  Back to cat5
[08:02] <Jimm_> R-800, how did you loose grub in the first place?
[08:02] <Gnea> Dean: any results with this?  sudo ndiswrapper -l
[08:02] <R-800> Jordan_U: I reinstalled Windows, and as we all know, it rewrote the MBR.  That much I know.  But as for why the files these instructions tell me to access with the GRUB prompt can't be found, that, I can't imagine.
[08:02] <Jordan_U> R-800: You can install grub with "grub-install /dev/whatever" in linux IIRC
[08:02] <R-800> Hmm.
[08:03] <Dean> Gnea:  says that bcmw15 driver installed
[08:03] <RudyValencia> Hi
[08:03] <skurakai> hi. how can i install new ktorrent on ubuntu 8.04?
[08:03] <R-800> Jordan_U: You mean from a Terminal?
[08:03] <Jordan_U> R-800: Yes
[08:03] <Gnea> Dean: okay - try replacing the b43 with the ndiswrapper again
[08:03] <RudyValencia> I have a laptop with a BCM4306 wireless card. It works in the GUI but not on the commandline, how do I fix that?
[08:03] <R-800> Jordan_U: From a terminal in the Live CD booted environment, even?
[08:03] <Dean> Gnea:  Ok.  and how would I replace it?
[08:04] <Jordan_U> R-800: Yes, a terminal in pretty much any booted linux, LiveCD or not ( Ubuntu or not )
[08:04] <Gnea> Dean: ndiswrapper -r bcmw15, then just load the new .inf with ndiswrapper -i whatever.inf
[08:04] <Rat409> Jordan_U: guess i missed pen,too sleepy,hosed the 1st screenie,anyways it runs fine here http://img210.imageshack.us/my.php?image=xpnho2.png
[08:04] <R-800> Jordan_U: What would I substitute "whatever" for in your path?
[08:04] <Dean> Gnea:  k
[08:04] <Rat409> night all
[08:04] <maxtor211> I know this is a dumb question, but can someone loop a song for me?
[08:05] <Gnea> maxtor211: try in #ubuntu-offtopic
[08:05] <skurakai> please. how compilate ktorrent on Ubuntu 8.04
[08:06] <Jordan_U> R-800: Do you want to install to the MBR of the first partition?
[08:06] <R-800> Jordan_U: Yes.
[08:06] <Jordan_U> R-800: s/partition/drive/
[08:06] <R-800> Jordan_U: So the full path would be grub-install /dev/s/partition/drive/ ?
[08:07] <Dean> Gnea:  No file or dir
[08:07] <RudyValencia> How do I get my Broadcom BCM4306 card to work from the console?
[08:07] <Gnea> Dean: did you get the new driver?
[08:07] <Dean> hah, oops.  no
[08:07] <Jordan_U> R-800: No, sorry, that's just a geeky way of saying that I meant "drive" not "partition" in my earlier comment :)
[08:07] <Gnea> o.O
[08:08] <R-800> Jordan_U: Forgive me.  Can we try this one more time?
[08:08] <FloodBot1> !netsplit
[08:08] <Jimm_> RudyValencia, you can use iwconfig to configure it I think, or use the gui to config it, then disable gdm and use console
[08:08] <Gnea> RudyValencia: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx/Feisty_No-Fluff  it's a bit dated, but seems to get dodgy results, seeing as how the bot just went on sabatical
[08:08] <RudyValencia> Will that likely work for hary?
[08:08] <RudyValencia> *hardy?
[08:09] <Gnea> RudyValencia: we're doing it now :)
[08:09] <Jordan_U> R-800: I *think* the command would be "sudo grub-install /dev/sda" If not then "sudo grub-install (hd0)" should work too ( the second would work from windows if there is a grub install for windows, not sure if /dev/ would work as that's linux specific )
[08:10] <jim_p> what happened?
[08:10] <rycar> how do I perform a minimal install of ubuntu?  I want to only install just enough software to where I can use apt to install more software
[08:10] <Jordan_U> !minimal | rycar
[08:10] <rycar> !minimal
[08:11] <rycar> the command does nothing
[08:11] <R-800> Jordan_U: Thank you.  I can give that a try.  It doesn't matter if it won't work from Windows, because I can try this from the Live CD booted environment.  I'd be more inclined to try your second option.  Think that has a good chance of giving me back my dual boot?
[08:11] <Jordan_U> rycar: There is a minimal install CD available ( the channel bot seems to be dead for some reason )
[08:11] <rycar> I had a mini.iso but it still installs base and half a gig of other stuff
[08:11] <rycar> I've tried desktop, server, alternate, etc
[08:12] <Jordan_U> R-800: Yes, but I think you would still need to run "update-grub" from the installed system as well ( you can do this from the liveCD, but you have to use a command called 'chroot' to make it run from the installed system )
[08:13] <R-800> Jordan_U: I see.  And that would just be good practice for the sake of software upgrading, right?  So I could do that afterward?
[08:13] <knoppix> hi
[08:14] <Jordan_U> R-800: No, that generates the configuration file that grub reads at boot, it is required
[08:14] <R-800> Jordan_U: Alright then.  So now I'm wondering which needs to be done first.  It's the sequence I'm fuzzy on.  : )
[08:15] <rycar> is there anything special I have to do to tell the installer that I want to pick which packages to install?  It just seems to pick everything automatically
[08:15] <mryanbrown> how do you kill a running process in terminal
[08:15] <rycar> ps aux to find the process, then kill <pid>
[08:15] <rycar> where <pid> is the process id
[08:15] <mryanbrown> i want to keep the terminal (emulator) open
[08:15] <rycar> or type killall processname
[08:15] <skurakai> where can find "path/to/prefix/of/kde4/installation"? /usr/lib/kde4 ?
[08:16] <Jordan_U> R-800: What partition is Ubuntu installed to, I can give you a single command ( well, a single line with multiple commands ) that should do it
[08:17] <R-800> Jordan_U: Ubuntu is on it's own hard drive, and WinXP is on the Primary one.
[08:17] <scuser> hi all, does anyone know which file is the pam configuration file for ubuntu 8.04 ?
[08:18] <rycar> how do I tell the installer which packages I want installed?
[08:18] <Gnea> scuser: have you looked in /etc ?
[08:19] <Flannel> scuser: /etc/pam.d/*
[08:19] <Flannel> rycar: Which installer do you have?
[08:19] <Gnea> and /etc/pam.conf
[08:19] <rycar> Flannel: mini, server, alternate, desktop
[08:19] <Jordan_U> R-800: "sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt && sudo mount -o bind /dev /mnt/dev && sudo grub-install /dev/sda && sudo chroot /mnt update-grub" *should* do it, no guarantee :)
[08:20] <Flannel> rycar: You need one of the first three, and you have to go to expert install (which I believe requires you to manually add "expert" or something like it to the options from the boot menu).  Any reason you want to specify actual packages?  What are you ultimately trying to accomplish?
[08:20] <scuser> Flannel: yes, but which file in the pam.d directory, I want to make ubuntu login through kerberos but I don't know which file should I modify, could you help me with that ?
[08:20] <rycar> I'm trying to make a minimal install to act as a server in a virtual machine
[08:21] <Flannel> rycar: Ah.  You actually probably want JeOS
[08:21] <R-800> Jordan_U: Thanks.  Don't worry if this screws something up.  I've been in the middle of reinstalling both OSes for some time now.  I was simply hoping to avoid reinstalling Ubuntu this time (but will if I have to).  So no guarantees, like you say, but no real worries, either.
[08:21] <rycar> I know there is a way to select packages because a long time ago I got into the screen when an install crashed halfway
[08:21] <Flannel> rycar: http://www.ubuntu.com/products/whatisubuntu/serveredition/jeos
[08:21] <Flannel> rycar: Yes, that's the expert mode
[08:22] <rycar> F6 at the boot menu for expert mode, JeOS looks great, thanks flannel!
[08:22] <Flannel> scuser: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Samba/Kerberos might help
[08:23] <Yekyaa> heh, that was a heck of a split, i ended up in a room with just 75 people :)
[08:23] <Yekyaa> disconnected, reconnected, now i'm on the one with 3 ops and 1100 people :)
[08:23] <Flannel> scuser: Its likely you don't need to hand-edit a file there, but install a package (libpam-krb5 looks promising)
[08:24] <scuser> Flannel: I've installed this package but nothing happens, ubuntu uses the same authentiaction without kerberos
[08:25] <R-800> Jordan_U: Okay, I'm going to go try this out.  If I come back again tonight, it probably means it didn't work.  : )
[08:26] <Flannel> scuser: check the debian readme file (/usr/share/doc/libpam-krb5/README.Debian)  it should have instructions
[08:29] <RudyValencia> I'm gonna try the BCM4306 install too
[08:32] <Yekyaa> lol
[08:36] <narcislinux> !<factoid>
[08:36] <solo> so many people
[08:36] <Kartagis> why do I get different chipset numbers in xp and linux?
[08:37] <Gnea> what chipset numbers?
[08:38] <KazaLite> hi all
[08:39] <KazaLite> any good tutorial explaing how to add multi-language support in linux applications?
[08:40] <narcislinux> !<factoid>
[08:41] <Flannel> narcislinux: What are you trying to do?
[08:41] <narcislinux> Ubotu:-D
[08:41] <mryanbrown> Meowtu ^_^
[08:42] <Flannel> narcislinux: Please play with the bot in #ubuntu-bots or in a query, thanks.
[08:42] <narcislinux> :-/tk
[08:42] <RudyValencia> hm
[08:42] <RudyValencia> I can't get it to work.
[08:44] <djhash> Kartagis: it is possible that a generic driver is installed in one OS that would detect the chipset as an older model..
[08:46] <Zergiu> morning
[08:46] <Zergiu> can I update from 7.10 to the latest version or I need to reinstall the OS
[08:47] <Flannel> !upgrade | Zergiu
[08:47] <Flannel> Zergiu: yep
[08:47] <Zergiu> thank you
[08:49] <bakarat_> got two problems: i have a samba share mounted (by nautilus), this should be in ~/.gvfs right? cause i can't find the mount point? also very odd is that a "sudo find" in the / directory gave me a "permission denied" for ~/.gvfs ?

[08:51] <Ububegin> Is the sudo command only specific to Ubuntu and not other distros
[08:51] <bakarat_> Ububegin, no
[08:51] <Gnea> Ububegin: sudo has been around for years
[08:52] <RudyValencia> sudo is more user-friendly than a root session.
[08:52] <kb> its more like windows vista
[08:52] <bakarat_> anyone on my above stated problems? :p
[08:52] <Ububegin> thanks folks...
[08:53] <zabeehkhan> hi all
[08:53] <bakarat_> i find sudo to be less userfriendly in all :p
[08:53] <zabeehkhan> how can I install mysql in Ubuntu?
[08:53] <kb> sudo apt-get install mysql
[08:53] <zabeehkhan> sudo apt-get install mysql?
[08:53] <zabeehkhan> ok
[08:53] <bakarat_> got two problems: i have a samba share mounted (by nautilus), this should be in ~/.gvfs right? cause i can't find the mount point? also very odd is that a "sudo find" in the / directory gave me a "permission denied" for ~/.gvfs ?
[08:53] <djhash> sudo apt-get instal mysql-server
[08:54] <zabeehkhan> server or without server?
[08:54] <Flannel> zabeehkhan: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP  has instructions (and some things you need to do after isntalling).  And yes, that page is relevant if you're only installing SQL
[08:54] <bakarat_> with server iirc
[08:54] <Ububegin> zabeehkhan: just use the Synaptic Manager.. i find the GUI makes it easier
[08:54] <bakarat_> indeed
[08:54] <zabeehkhan> ok
[08:54] <djhash> zabeehkhan: if you can't be sure of the name of the package use this "apt-cache search mysql"
[08:54] <zabeehkhan> ok..
[08:55] <Ububegin> zabeehkhan: Eid Mubarak... :D
[08:55] <Kartagis> do i need to disable the wlan drivers using System>Administration>Hardware Drivers if I am using ndiswrapper?
[08:55] <zabeehkhan> Ububegin: thank you .. Where are you from?
[08:55] <Ububegin> zabeehkhan: singapore
[08:55] <Tarantulafudge> I'm having some virtualbox woes right now. The newest modules are only 24-16, but my kernel is 24-19. How do I resolve the situation?
[08:56] <zabeehkhan> Ububegin: oh good.. Eid Mubarak to you too
[08:56] <Ububegin> zabeehkhan: you too from here...
[08:57] <zabeehkhan> Ububegin: I am from Afghanistan..not living there now!! :)
[08:57] <Tarantulafudge> do I revert the kernel?
[08:57] <bakarat_> um guys, when i do an ls -l in my ~ directory as root, i get this: d?????????  ? ?    ?        ?                ? .gvfs
[08:57] <bakarat_> w..t... :>
[08:57] <atlef> Tarantulafudge: try the closed source one
[08:59] <Tarantulafudge> atlef: nevermind I found some
[08:59] <bakarat_> guys?
[08:59] <Tarantulafudge> atlef: the virtual package was not up to date
[08:59] <atlef> Tarantulafudge: ok
[09:01] <masmota> i have a simple ( i think ) question:  i keep getting a folder called "file:" in my home directory.  it gets recreated when i delete it, anyone know whats causing it? (/home/masmota/file:/home/masmota/Desktop) (empty)
[09:02] <masmota> its hard to google for, i guess b/c of the colon
[09:03] <tarelerulz1> My clock is all ways wrong .   No matter how many times I change the time it all ways off an hour.  I have laptop if that means anything and I have vista on one partition .
[09:04] <Flannel> Memphis: Looks like something (perhaps firefox?) is trying to save something to your desktop (/home/masmota/Desktop/) and some part of it is being set up wrong.  So, even though it saves/accesses your Desktop properly, its checking/creating that incorrectly named directory.
[09:05] <jim_p> tarelerulz1: it has to do about how each os preceives time
[09:05] <Memphis> ?
[09:05] <masmota> tarelerulz1:  i had that problem at one point, so your not alone.  maybe try running tzselect again?
[09:06] <masmota> i dont remember the fix :(
[09:09] <ivan2000> helloooo

[09:14] <scuser> hi all, I've modified the pam configuration files according to /usr/share/doc/libpam-krb/README.Debian but still the authentication goes through the system login not through kerberos authentication any help ?
[09:15] <ikonia> scuser: is it possible it's going through kerb - failing and dropping down back to local auth ?
[09:15] <ikonia> scuser: are you confident you have your kerberos binding setup and working ?
[09:17] <scuser> ikonia: well I've used login.krb5 and it is working fine; I have a user scuser and a kerberos principal scuser both with different passwords for the system login kerberos pass doesn't work and for the login.krb5 the system user pass doesn't work, is that enough to make sure that kerberos is working ?
[09:18] <ikonia> scuser it certainly sounds like it's working.
[09:18] <ikonia> scuser: what does your nsswitch file look like
[09:18] <scuser> ikonia: what is nsswitch file ?
[09:18] <ikonia> scuser: /etc/nsswitch.conf
[09:19] <scuser> ikonia: I'll see
[09:19] <ikonia> scuser: it is the file that sets the order for "searches" of susb systems
[09:20] <ikonia> papiiiiiiiiii: why are you trying to ping me and get version info from me ?
[09:20] <ikonia> papiiiiiiiiii: please stop that now
[09:20]  * Fallenou content ^_^
[09:20] <scuser> ikonia: http://paste.ubuntu.com/50399/
[09:20] <ikonia> Fallenou: ?
[09:20] <papiiiiiiiiii> how is off
[09:20] <papiiiiiiiiii> its auto
[09:21] <ikonia> papiiiiiiiiii: your using scripts - please disable them now
[09:22] <Gnea> papiiiiiiiiii: what is auto?
[09:22] <ikonia> scuser: thats the problem, it's looking at /etc/passwd first
[09:22] <papiiiiiiiiii> ping
[09:22] <scuser> ikonia: so ?
[09:23] <Gnea> papiiiiiiiiii: are you sure?
[09:23] <ikonia> papiiiiiiiiii you need to stop it now
[09:23] <papiiiiiiiiii> yap
[09:23] <ikonia> scuser so you'd nee to edit that to change the the search order to kerberos first,
[09:23] <papiiiiiiiiii> wats cmd to stop him
[09:23] <Gnea> papiiiiiiiiii: /quit
[09:23] <ikonia> papiiiiiiiiii: you enabled the scripts
[09:23] <scuser> ikonia: how can I do so ?
[09:23] <Flannel> Gnea: Please be helpful
[09:24] <papiiiiiiiiii> oks
[09:24] <sata> hi
[09:24] <sata> i am new to ubuntu
[09:24] <ikonia> papiiiiiiiiii: if you can't stop them I suggest you exit the channel until you can figure out how to stop them as your constantly pinging me now and it's getting frustating
[09:24] <papiiiiiiiiii> me 2
[09:24] <sata> is there is live cd of ubuntu
[09:24] <sata> ?
[09:24] <ikonia> scuser: there are examples in the file, take a look
[09:24] <Flannel> sata: There is.  It's the "Desktop CD"
[09:24] <ikonia> sata: the install cd is a live cd
[09:24] <papiiiiiiiiii> ok baba
[09:25] <sata> i want to install ubuntu permanently on the hard disk
[09:25] <Flannel> sata: You can use the Desktop CD for that too
[09:25] <sata> http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download
[09:25] <sata> what that menas on thgis site
[09:25] <sata> Check here if you need the alternate desktop CD. This CD does not include the Live CD, instead it uses a text-based installer.
[09:25] <ikonia> sata the one that says "desktop" cd
[09:26] <plowman> sata:when you fire up the Desktop cd there is an option to install
[09:26] <sata> ok
[09:26] <sata> one more think
[09:27] <sata> if i check this option and then download the cd the size of iso is 699mb (Check here if you need the alternate desktop CD. This CD does not include the Live CD, instead it uses a text-based installer.)
[09:27] <ikonia> sata you don't want the alternate cd - so don't check the box
[09:27] <Flannel> sata: If you want the Live CD, you want the Desktop CD, not the alternate CD
[09:28] <sata> ok
[09:28] <sata> i want to install it permanently so i will uncheck this option
[09:29] <sata> alternate cd size is 699mb
[09:29] <sata> and normal cd size is 694mb
[09:29] <ikonia> so ?
[09:29] <Flannel> sata: They both will give you the same installed system.
[09:30] <sata> so why the size difference
[09:30] <sata> ?
[09:30] <plowman> sata: you will also find the install option on the desktop when you boot into live mode
[09:30] <sata> ok
[09:30] <sata> so both ca work as live cd and to install cd
[09:30] <ikonia> sata: they are different install methods, forget about the alternative cd
[09:30] <sata> good
[09:30] <sata> thank u
[09:30] <ikonia> sata: no
[09:30] <sata> ok
[09:30] <ikonia> sata: both don't work as a livecd
[09:30] <FloodBot1> sata: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[09:30] <scuser> ikonia: which file should contain the passwords for the kerberos ?
[09:30] <ikonia> sata: get teh desktop cd
[09:31] <ikonia> scuser: ......er none, it's a kerberos server
[09:31] <sata> ok
[09:32] <sata> so i will download this one
[09:32] <sata> http://ftp.belnet.be/mirror/ubuntu.com/releases/hardy/ubuntu-8.04.1-desktop-i386.iso
[09:32] <sata> that can be installed as well as live cd
[09:33] <Flannel> sata: Yep
[09:34] <Flannel> sata: and you can follow the instructions at the top of the page here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation (there are four of them, "Standard Installation")
[09:34] <plowman> sata: yep
[09:37] <CorpseFeeder> I have a problem in hardy where the mouse buttons just stop responding or work intermittently and the only way to get it back to normal is to restart the computer.. logging out does not correct the problem... anyone familiar with this problem or know the cause?
[09:38] <jim_p> CorpseFeeder: does the hole mouse "shut down"? like closing its leds and stuff?
[09:38] <jim_p> *whole mouse
[09:38] <ikonia> CorpseFeeder: is it a bluetooth mouse ?
[09:38] <CorpseFeeder> jim_p: actually, it's a track pad and  buttons built into a laptop...
[09:39] <etyo> anybody know haow to install php-gtk on lampp
[09:39] <jim_p> CorpseFeeder: then i cant help you, sorry
[09:39] <HeLLzSpaWn> hey how can i get a list of all running processes so that i can kill a specific one? my avant window navigator is still there but it's not working. I want to try to close it (not visually there though so i can't right click on it)
[09:39] <ghaleb__> I removed a file by mistake .. how can I recover it ?
[09:40] <CorpseFeeder> jim_p: the problem is happening right now, so I could plug a regular mouse in and see if it is locked up too...
[09:41] <jim_p> CorpseFeeder: since you are on a laptop, and you dont use an external mouse, then its not power related
[09:41] <Hexus> ﻿HeLLzSpaWn: go to a terminal and type "top"
[09:43] <scuser> ikonia: I don't know how can I make nsswitch be adopted to use kerberos server, could you help me with that ?

[09:45] <Flannel> FD_F: Edgy is unsupported, and is likely unsupported by the wine people as well.  You ought to upgrade.
[09:45] <dergringo> Hi. Is it possible to change the order of the account listing (left side) in evolution?
[09:45] <EspenBe> hi all!
[09:45] <FD_F> Flannel: upgrade to ? , thanks
[09:46] <Flannel> FD_F: You'll have to upgrade to Feisty.  But while you're at it, you ought to upgrade to Gutsy (because Feisty reaches the end of its support next month too)
[09:46] <CaptJager> tonyo download it burn to cd and install
[09:46] <Flannel> !upgrade | FD_F
[09:46] <EspenBe> I have messed up my xorg-settings while installing nvidia-drivers from nvidia.  I have the original version of the xorg.conf, but copying it back won't help.  what should I do to get my "normal" settings back again?
[09:46] <FD_F> Flannel thanks
[09:46] <ikonia> scuser: hang on, I'm sure there is a doc ont he net
[09:47] <Le-Chuck_ITA> Hi all, I am using intrepid but this problem is also in hardy: my hard disk Load_Cycle_Count keeps increasing rapidly (!!!) even tough I applied all the fixes that are suggested on the wiki
[09:47] <HeLLzSpaWn> Hexus: hmm didn't work
[09:47] <FD_F> Flanel , i have hardy
[09:47] <Le-Chuck_ITA> in practice it keeps increasing no matter what hdparm -B value I sed
[09:47] <CaptJager> how can you convert a .daa to an .iso ?
[09:47] <EspenBe> "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" works in a way, but when I re-enable the 3D in Gnome, it falls back to 800*600 resolution
[09:47] <Flannel> FD_F: alright, then your issue is instead that you have Edgy stuff in your sources.list, you should get rid of that
[09:48] <FD_F> Flannel: ok i search on the sources list
[09:48] <Hexus> ﻿HeLLzSpaWn: What was the error
[09:48] <CaptJager> need help converting .daa to .isop with poweriso or other
[09:49] <Terence> I installed ubuntu 6.06 just now. This is my first time to use Linux OS. All is ok, except the graphic card driver. Mine is ATI Radeon X2300. Can anyone help me?
[09:49] <HeLLzSpaWn> ERROR: Process ID "[avant-window-navigator]"
[09:49] <ikonia> scuser: what "backend" are you trying to authenticate against with kerberos ?
[09:49] <Le-Chuck_ITA> set
[09:50] <bakarat_> my wired ethernet connection only gets an IP like 50% of the time, any ideas?
[09:50] <FD_F> Flanel : solved :) thanks dont know how edgy got there
[09:50] <HeLLzSpaWn> Hexus: i thought there was an easier way to see the running processes and decide which ones to kill? Like with a GUI?
[09:50] <scuser> ikonia: I'm just trying to login to the system
[09:50] <bakarat_> so i boot, and i get no ip half of the time, /etc/init.d/networking restart, dhclient eth0, ifdown && ifup etc don't work..
[09:50] <bakarat_> just ahve to reboot and hope it works again
[09:50] <Le-Chuck_ITA> Terence: sorry if I misunderstand  but did you really install 6.06?
[09:50] <CorpseFeeder> I don't know if plugging a regular mouse in has fixed it or not, but both the laptop trackpad and the external mouse seem to be working normally  now without the buttons locking up.... normally I have to reboot to get this level or normalcy back..
[09:50] <Terence> yes
[09:51] <Le-Chuck_ITA> Terence: why didn't you install a more recent release?
[09:51] <CorpseFeeder> Any thoughts?
[09:51] <ikonia> scuser: kerberose is not a user system though - it's an authentication protocol - it needs to have something to authenticate with, eg: ldap, nis  etc
[09:51] <Terence> I get it from the library book DD
[09:51] <Hexus> ﻿HeLLzSpaWn: There could be, I only know of the terminal one though.
[09:51] <Le-Chuck_ITA> we are in 2008 :)
[09:51] <tarelerulz> my time is still off . I try  setting the bios clock to the right time and turn  utc=yes  might fix the time ,but it did not
[09:51] <Le-Chuck_ITA> try to run hardy I think hardware support higly improved in last years
[09:52] <Hexus> ﻿HeLLzSpaWn: did you enter the PID of the number or did you actually enter "process ID"?
[09:52] <Flannel> Terence: Well, 6.06 is a mighty fine version, but it is a bit old (two years now).  You'll probably have a better experience for a first time user on 8.04.  Luckily for you, you can actually upgrade straight from 6.06 to 8.04, if you'd like to try.
[09:52] <tyberion> I can paste marked stuff with middle mouseclick, but is there a way to keyboard paste that stuff too??!
[09:52] <Terence> Does the latest version support ATI ?
[09:52] <HeLLzSpaWn> um...i opened a different tab and typed "sudo kill [avant-window-navigator]
[09:53] <Hexus> ﻿HeLLzSpaWn: use the PID number
[09:53] <CaptJager> can someone help me convert .daa to .iso so I can burn a cd
[09:53] <Kartagis> my vim is version 7.1.x and it is mentioned that syntax highlighting is supported. however when I uncomment the directive syntax on, i get the warning that this is not supported. how come?
[09:53] <CaptJager> I have poweriso but error out
[09:53] <Hexus> ﻿HeLLzSpaWn: its looks like  "sudo kill 1322"
[09:53] <Flannel> Kartagis: install "vim", the default one is vim-tiny, which doesn't offer a whole lot
[09:54] <Flannel> Terence: It does.  If you want to double check your specific card, there's a list, let me see if I can find it.
[09:54] <HeLLzSpaWn> Hexus: i cant find the awn process though...it like comes and goes real quick
[09:55] <Kartagis> thanks Flannel
[09:55] <Le-Chuck_ITA> 8.06 I think
[09:56] <tyberion> hmmm.. is there any way to paste marked stuff by keyboard too?
[09:56] <afallenhope> is there an issue with the newest version of FF?
[09:56] <Kartagis> wee
[09:56] <CaptJager> so no one has ever had to convert a .daa with ubuntu
[09:57] <Terence> thank you Flannel, I'll try the latest version. I've just downloaded it in the form of .iso, maybe I should copy it on a CD
[09:57] <Flannel> Terence: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI  The prerequisite section explains what lines are supported by which drivers, and then in that same section theres a link to the Xorg release notes, which are even more detailed.
[09:57] <Terence> Oh, I'll check it
[09:57] <Lamba> whats the easiest way to autokill a given process if its memory usage spikes ?
[09:57] <Flannel> Terence: ah, yes.  If you have internet you can do that too.  Here's instructions on burning/etc: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation  first bit of real content on the page

[10:01] <HeLLzSpaWn> Hexus: Ah! that did the trick :D thanx
[10:01] <Hexus> ﻿HeLLzSpaWn: No prob.
[10:01] <Flannel> belendax: sshd is the daemon (server) that ssh (client) connects to
[10:01] <IntuitiveNipple> belendax: the "d" suffix means it's a system daemon (server)
[10:01] <ActionParsnip> yo yo yo
[10:02] <ikonia> Daft_Punk comments like that are pointless - don't bother please.
[10:02] <Daft_Punk> ikonia, the point was to create laugh babies, and make someone smile

[10:06] <ikonia> CaptJager: type "/topic"
[10:06] <ActionParsnip> tyberion: ctrl+c thn ctrl + v (?)
[10:06] <dr3mro> ActionParsnip, i can play it by hover on nautilus and it play well on exaile
[10:06] <CaptJager> have asked 3 no answers
[10:06] <afallenhope> apparently it's debian based and uses ubuntu repositories
[10:06] <ActionParsnip> CaptJager: ask away, if we can answer we will
[10:06] <CaptJager> I have been to all the sites
[10:06] <CaptJager> still have problems
[10:06] <tyberion> ActionParsnip: that would be for the COPIED to clipboard stuff but apparently if I press ctrl+c here.. irsii will quit vor exmaple
[10:07] <ikonia> CaptJager: maybe no-one knows the answer
[10:07] <ikonia> CaptJager: isn't poweriso a windows application ?
[10:07] <neSSun0o> hi guys i had a rt73 wifi driver (which is kubuntu's default one) that wasnt working well, pinging my router i had 50% packet loss and the connection was super slow, thus i removed it and installed the "compat-wireless" driver as the ubuntu wiki suggests, pinging my router at that point gave me 0% packet loss and everything was going good, till yesterday, even with this new driver now ivegot again 50% packet loss... what happened? can somebody
[10:07] <neSSun0o> help?
[10:07] <cwillu> CaptJager, the advanced ubuntu help is in #ubuntu-offtopic.  This channel is for begging for assistance from people who aren't getting paid.  Adjust your expectations appropriately :p
[10:07] <CaptJager> I cant be the only one that can not convert .daa to .iso with poweriso in terminal without error
[10:07] <cwillu> CaptJager, what's a .daa?
[10:07] <mecha> anyone else have trouble with nvidia drivers?
[10:08] <ikonia> CaptJager poweriso is a windows application isn't it ?
[10:08] <CaptJager> a file that some one  used instead of .iso
[10:08] <mecha> !nvidia
[10:08] <CaptJager> no ther ia a linux version
[10:08] <ActionParsnip> tyberion: if you mean in xchat, you need to hold the mouse button, the pess ctrl+c
[10:08] <ikonia> CaptJager: I can't see it in the ubuntu repo
[10:08] <cwillu> CaptJager, .daa is a proprietary format.  If you're having troubles with their (closed source) conversion utility, you need to contact them for support :/
[10:08] <CaptJager> it isnt
[10:08] <ceil420> cwillu, a proprietary file type similar to .iso
[10:08] <atlef> CaptJager: ./poweriso convert xxx.daa -o xxx.iso in a terminal
[10:08] <ikonia> CaptJager so it's nothing to do with ubuntu then
[10:08] <CaptJager> I didnt that got error
[10:09] <Bredok> hi
[10:09] <ikonia> CaptJager: you may want to look at the application daa2iso
[10:09] <CaptJager> will try again
[10:09] <cwillu> CaptJager, wikipedia says that their linux tools don't support the latest version of DAA, so you might be out of luck
[10:09] <dr3mro> ActionParsnip, i?
[10:09] <CaptJager> daa2iso?
[10:09] <cwillu> CaptJager, where did you get the daa files from?  If they're your own files, consider just using an iso, daa doesn't provide anything terribly useful
[10:09] <CaptJager> that is all I am looking for new to linux but not going back to windows
[10:10] <Hexus> ﻿cwillu: you serious about offtopic being for advanced help?  Im ready to go anywhere.
[10:10] <ikonia> CaptJager: daa2iso is an application that will do what you want
[10:10] <CaptJager> the .daa files were from someone else
[10:10] <airtonix> ikona, CaptJager i have used poweriso as a linux binary i think
[10:10] <atlef> CaptJager: sorry : ./poweriso convert xxx.daa -o xxx.iso -ot iso
[10:10] <cwillu> Hexus, just based on experience, you're more likely to run into people who like to talk about more advanced uses
[10:10] <ActionParsnip> CaptJager: you can run poweriso via wine to convert but to know how it works ask in ##windows
[10:10] <cwillu> Hexus, it's not a support channel however :p
[10:10] <airtonix> ikona, CaptJager or maybe i was using it through wine...can't remember
[10:10]  * afallenhope rates ubuntu support -9 out of 10
[10:10] <ActionParsnip> dr3mro: huh?
[10:11] <CaptJager> going to try again
[10:11]  * cwillu adds afallenhope to his ignore list
[10:11] <airtonix> CaptJager, .daa images are fairly sketchy in integrity imo
[10:11] <ikonia> afallenhope: your welcome to leave if you don't rate the support
[10:11] <CaptJager> and try daa2iso
[10:11] <afallenhope> ikonia, don't start
[10:11] <ActionParsnip> afallenhope: considering we are doing this for kicks and free you cant actually moan
[10:11] <tyberion> ActionParsnip: but that wont be possible If I just run a xterm with irssi in it.. right?
[10:11] <IntuitiveNipple> ActionParsnip: poweriso is an ELF binary for Linux
[10:11] <ikonia> afallenhope: don't make pointless comments then. I f you don't rate the support in the channel, don't use it
[10:11] <ActionParsnip> IntuitiveNipple: i thought it was a windows app.
[10:11]  * cwillu mutes everyone who keeps ruining his afallenhope-free experience
[10:12] <IntuitiveNipple> ActionParsnip: There are versions for Linux too
[10:12] <ikonia> ActionParsnip: I've just found the version on the site, looks like it's staticlly linked though and could be a pain
[10:12] <cwillu> Hexus, what's your poison?
[10:12] <airtonix> ActionParsnip, ikona, CaptJager yeah poweriso have both, windows and linux binaries from the little memory i have of it
[10:12] <ActionParsnip> IntuitiveNipple: kinda pointless considering the massve array of apps already available, or is it a meta package?
[10:12] <ikonia> airtonix: I've just found it,
[10:12] <Hexus> ﻿cwillu: soundcards
[10:12] <etyo> anybody know how to install php-gtk on xampp
[10:12] <cwillu> Hexus, that's quite the poison
[10:13] <Hexus> ﻿cwillu: yep three days now.
[10:13] <ikonia> etyo: this is ubuntu support  - not xammp please
[10:13] <cwillu> bah, three days?  is that all?
[10:13] <airtonix> etyo, why are you using xamp when apache mysql and php are in the repoes?
[10:13] <Hexus> ﻿cwillu: you want more?
[10:13] <IntuitiveNipple> ActionParsnip: it's a static-linked binary, freely available from poweriso
[10:13] <cwillu> Hexus, I spent a good 2 months getting a particular broadcom chipset to connect with encryption
[10:13] <airtonix> etyo, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP
[10:13] <ActionParsnip> IntuitiveNipple: ill stick to what ive used (and definately not daa)
[10:13] <etyo> airtonix : my friend ask me that
[10:14] <FD_F> actionpareship: any more suggestions for  simple reminder
[10:14] <IntuitiveNipple> ActionParsnip: no one is asking you to; CaptJager was asking for assistance and you were under the impression it was a Windows app
[10:15] <CaptJager> Converting from zwfmp9r3.daa to zwfmp9r3.iso ...     0%zwfmp9r3.daa
[10:15] <CaptJager> Can not read compressed image file.
[10:15] <mecha>  anyone have the problem of low resolutions after ristricted drivers installation?
[10:15] <mecha>  running ubuntu 8.04 with a nvidia 5500
[10:15] <airtonix> etyo, if your concerned about how to use xampp (which i believe is a software package designed for windows primarliy) then you should try to find the xampp irc channel
[10:15] <Hexus> ﻿cwillu: hmm.  You know at some point you have to consider your time valuable enough to drop 15-30 dollars and get compatable equipment....
[10:15] <Blinkiz> I want to automate installation of ubuntu machines in my network. I believe kickstart is the right choose? Does it exist more information about this? I have found this so far https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KickstartCompatibility
[10:15] <airtonix> !who
[10:15] <IntuitiveNipple> CaptJager: I recommend you get a known good .daa file from somewhere else and test poweriso with it... if that works, then the .daa you're trying to convert has some issue - could be a DAA version difference that poweriso doesn't understand
[10:15] <Blinkiz> !kickstart
[10:15] <ActionParsnip> IntuitiveNipple: agreed, i was mistaken. just seems silly is my point but i guess people are used to it in windows (even if it does ship with spyware)
[10:16] <cwillu> Hexus, I'm not terribly interested in buying a new laptop for the want of a wireless card, but I also have no interest in having some little dongle sticking half an inch out of the side waiting to snap off :p
[10:16] <Blinkiz> !cloning
[10:16] <CaptJager> ok going to try daa2iso forst
[10:16] <CaptJager> Thanks
[10:16] <IntuitiveNipple> ActionParsnip: I totally agree, but then CaptJager is just fresh from Windows so he's still probably used to doing things the Windows way :)
[10:16] <etyo> airtonix : ok! THX
[10:16] <ActionParsnip> IntuitiveNipple: he'll come round soon enough
[10:16] <cwillu> Hexus, my time is valuable because I've put the hours in to learn this <expletive> in the first place :)
[10:16] <IntuitiveNipple> Every little helps towards solving bug #1
[10:17] <IntuitiveNipple> cwillu: I feel that! :D
[10:17] <ActionParsnip> IntuitiveNipple: and what is bug #1?
[10:17] <IntuitiveNipple> ActionParsnip: You're on #ubuntu and you *don't* know bug #1 ?
[10:17] <ActionParsnip> no idea. i guess i just ignore all the politics
[10:17]  * cwillu smacks Cwiiis for hijacking the cwi<tab> completion
[10:18] <cwillu> bug #2
[10:18] <Hexus> ﻿cwillu: i suppose thats one way to look at it.  I find its ultimate usfullness up to debate outside of self esteem building.
[10:18] <Cwiiis> cwillu: :)
[10:18] <ActionParsnip> IntuitiveNipple: i dont care that MS has majority share, it doesnt change how i use my system
[10:22] <Hexus> SO yeah.  Anyone with soundcard experience?
[10:22] <oddalot> i had a soundcard once
[10:23] <ActionParsnip> Hexus: i have one, makes noises and stuff
[10:23] <ActionParsnip> Hexus: wassup?
[10:24] <bunnyto> hi sexy
[10:24] <Hexus> YOU GUISE!
[10:24] <Hexus> ﻿ActionParsnip:  I have and old ISA sound card.  I have the driver, but I seem to be missing some modules
[10:25] <Hexus> ﻿ActionParsnip:  The driver wont load.  Not sure how to get the IRQ and DMA adresses in linux either
[10:26] <Hexus> ﻿ActionParsnip: This is what ive attemped so far: http://pastebin.com/md00dbcb

[10:35] <austin> Thank you ActionParsnip what do you think the problem is
[10:35] <ActionParsnip> austin: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx
[10:35] <zllang> anyone know install netbeans language package  for chinese
[10:36] <austin> is that what you want me to type in the terminal ?
[10:36] <ActionParsnip> austin: indeed, it will install the nvidia driver for you
[10:36] <ActionParsnip> austin: id also run sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[10:37] <ActionParsnip> austin: so that you are completely up to date
[10:37] <ja1> Hi! I just installed kubuntu. I need to recompile the kernel. Im unfamiliar with debian systems. Do I just get the latest kernel, unpack, make config   like I did in Red hat?
[10:38] <IntuitiveNipple> ja1: Is there a particular reason for rebuilding the kernel?
[10:39] <ja1> IntuitiveNipple: Problems with the KDE4 graphics + tuning.
[10:39] <ActionParsnip> ja1: its the same
[10:39] <ja1> Jepp
[10:39] <ja1> :)
[10:39] <mkartic> hey, how do i clear out my amarok collection?
[10:39] <ikonia> ja1 what sort of tuning
[10:39] <ikonia> ja1: how do you think a kernal build will change your graphics ?
[10:40] <austin> Once I have run all the commands should I restart the machine?
[10:40] <ActionParsnip> yes as you'll probably get a new kernel
[10:40] <ja1> ikonia: Adding RS232/USB converter, for instance. And I cant keep my fingers away in general...
[10:40] <austin> again thank you for your help.
[10:40] <ikonia> ja1: that module exists, you can modprobe it
[10:40] <mkartic> can someone tell me how i can clear my amarok collection so that i can start over?
[10:40] <ja1> ikonia: I hope to specify my onboard gfx card better than the general kernel.
[10:41] <IntuitiveNipple> ja1: If you really need to edit the kernel then download the kernel-source and modify the package. apt-get source linux-source
[10:41] <ikonia> ja1: but the kernel has nothing to do with xorg
[10:41] <IntuitiveNipple> ja1: or, even, sudo apt-get install linux-source
[10:41] <ja1> ikonia: If I had remembered the name of the rs232/USB module...
[10:42] <ikonia> ja1: shouldn't be too hard to find
[10:42] <IntuitiveNipple> ja1: is it an mt adapter?
[10:42] <ikonia> ja1: your reasons for rebuilding the kernel don't seem to make any sense
[10:42] <ja1> ikonia: I remember there was some options in the kernel for your hardware. Maybe Im wrong.
[10:42] <zllang> may be you should complie the driver in kernel
[10:42] <ikonia> ja1: there are plenty of options for your hardware
[10:42] <scuser> hi all, does anyone know how to configure nsswitch.conf file to search for kerberos authentication beside of passwd ?
[10:42] <ja1> IntuitiveNipple: mt sounds familiar.
[10:42] <ikonia> ja1: none that will help your graphics issues
[10:43] <ikonia> scuser: you need somethign to auth against
[10:43] <ikonia> scuser: kerberose is an authentication protocol
[10:43] <neSSun0o> what's the most stable linux distro?
[10:43] <zllang> asdf
[10:43] <IntuitiveNipple> ja1: maybe this?  Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0711:0230 Magic Control Technology Corp. MCT-232 Serial Port
[10:43] <ikonia> neSSun0o: subjective question, join #ubuntu-offtopic for non-support questions
[10:44] <ja1> ikonia: Thanks for the information. Still, would you prefere getting a new kernel, or would you use apt_manager or similar to get patches?
[10:44] <IntuitiveNipple> ja1: the module for the MCT is mct_u232
[10:44] <ikonia> ja1: apt-get gets pre-compiled bindary packages, not patches
[10:44] <ikonia> ja1: why do you want a new kernel ?
[10:44] <ja1> IntuitiveNipple: Yes, thats a MCT-232
[10:44] <IntuitiveNipple> ikonia: incorrect. linux-source contains the kernel source and Ubuntu patches
[10:44] <scuser> ikonia: well I can't get your words :( could you make your words more clear ?
[10:44] <ja1> ikonia: As I said, cant keep my fingers away. But Im unfamiliar with debian.
[10:45] <HeLLzSpaWn> hey i just installed virtual box and i'm trying to setup a VM with winXP but i get this error from VirtualBox: VirtualBox kernel driver not installed. The vboxdrv kernel module was either not loaded or /dev/vboxdrv was not created for some reason. Please install the virtualbox-ose-modules package for your kernel, e.g. virtualbox-ose-modules-generic..
[10:45] <HeLLzSpaWn> VBox status code: -1908 (VERR_VM_DRIVER_NOT_INSTALLED).
[10:45] <ikonia> IntuitiveNipple I know that, but put it in context of what ja1 is saying
[10:45] <witek23> hello, anybudy knows any c++ compiler, which has a X-window interface?
[10:45] <ikonia> ja1 then read the docs
[10:45] <CorpseFeeder> ok.. my point/click interface has just gone dead again... I can't click any icons.....
[10:45] <ikonia> witek23: do you mean an ide ?
[10:45] <CorpseFeeder> what causes this?
[10:45] <The-Compiler> witek23: eh? Why would a compiler need an interface?
[10:45] <ja1> ikonia: specify docs, please.
[10:45] <ikonia> ja1: https://help.ubuntu.com
[10:45] <witek23> iterface lik dev c++ has
[10:45] <IntuitiveNipple> ja1: If you want to hack the Ubuntu kernel, see this for starters: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMaintenance
[10:46] <ikonia> witek23: ok, an ide
[10:46] <ushimitsudoki> witek23: usually, it you use an IDE which calls out to the complier
[10:46] <ikonia> witek23: look at eclipse
[10:46] <ja1> IntuitiveNipple: Thanks.
[10:46] <atlef> HeLLzSpaWn: well, you need to install the virtual-box-modules-generic
[10:46] <ushimitsudoki> witek23: I like eclipse and netbeans, but there are many others too
[10:46] <afallenhope> witek23, geany is pretty sweel
[10:46] <afallenhope> sweet*
[10:46] <Lamba> netbeans is niiiiice. :)
[10:46] <CorpseFeeder> I have lost the ability to double click any icons this time.... what causes this? It just happens at random.
[10:47] <witek23> ok, thanks for help.
[10:47] <ja1> Also, I dont get no sound. Maybe some kernel options for my soundcard aswell.
[10:47] <HeLLzSpaWn> atlef: yeah but there are like 4-5 different choices in Synaptic...how do i know which one i choose?
[10:47] <atlef> HeLLzSpaWn: and you need to add your user to the vboxusers group
[10:48] <IntuitiveNipple> ja1: No... that'll be just a matter of configuring the correct module for the hardware, using /etc/modprobe.d/options (when you've found the correct options of course!)
[10:48] <atlef> HeLLzSpaWn: virtualbox-ose module for linux-image-2.6.24-16-generic
[10:48] <ikonia> ja1: I'll say again - you don't need to compile the kernel
[10:48] <TMD-Dubbed> I just installed  ubuntu along side of windows and i get to the login screen and log in and i hear the music but then it goes back to the log in screen.
[10:48] <ikonia> ja1: you don't need to "specify" hardware, it's modular
[10:48] <CorpseFeeder> If I left-click and drag I can draw a box and select icons,  but if I single or double click on an icon, nothing happens.
[10:49] <ja1> IntuitiveNipple: Finding the options will take some research...
[10:49] <atlef> HeLLzSpaWn: sorry, you need the newest
[10:49] <ja1> ikonia: Ok.
[10:49] <IntuitiveNipple> ja1: And your point is...? *grin*
[10:49] <atlef> HeLLzSpaWn: virtualbox-ose module for linux-image-2.6.24-20-generic
[10:49] <CorpseFeeder> right-click continues to work, but it only behaves as though I am clicking on a blank area of desktop....
[10:49] <CorpseFeeder> has anyone experience with this bug?
[10:49] <ja1> IntuitiveNipple: Hehe, *I got puppy eyes*
[10:49] <ljsoftnet> TMD-Dubbed, do you have the correct username and password?
[10:49] <ActionParsnip> CorpseFeeder: are you running compiz?
[10:50] <HeLLzSpaWn> atlef: ok...installing right now...how about that add my user to the vboxusers group? what do u mean?
[10:50] <TMD-Dubbed> ~ ljsoftnet ~ yes
[10:50] <Anscombe> Do you guys provide support for like my VPS.. being ubuntu? o_O
[10:50] <ja1> IntuitiveNipple: I try to sort it myself, np.
[10:50] <Anscombe> I'm mearly after help with getting sendmail or postfix working.
[10:50] <CorpseFeeder> ActionParsnip: no. I am running hardy on a laptop, no compiz or desktop effects.
[10:50] <ikonia> Anscombe sure
[10:50] <Hexus> is there a terminal command to list your kernel ver?
[10:50] <ikonia> Hexus: uname -a
[10:50] <Hexus> thanks
[10:50] <Anscombe> Okay, hold on I'll redo what i did and pastebin my outcome.
[10:51] <TMD-Dubbed> ~ ljsoftnet ~ it acts like it's loading and then goes back to the login
[10:51] <ikonia> Hexus: uname -r to be specific and "fussy" about it
[10:51] <ActionParsnip> CorpseFeeder: strange, ive seen mouse clicks vanish in compiz, does it happen for other users?
[10:51] <atlef> HeLLzSpaWn: under administration menu, open users und groups, unlock, and manage groups and add your user to the vboxusers
[10:52] <CorpseFeeder> ActionParsnip: I can click the left button and drag to draw a box around multiple icons to select them that way, so the button is obviously not broken.. but if I try to single or double-click anything it is as if there is no icon there.
[10:52] <atlef> HeLLzSpaWn: press properties and check your name
[10:52] <IntuitiveNipple> CorpseFeeder: Yes, it is caused when an applicatoin has grabbed mouse focus but you've moved away or it got confused before releasing it... sometimes random actions clears it but figure those out is... random :)
[10:53] <HeLLzSpaWn> atlef: ok and what about the /root?
[10:53] <HeLLzSpaWn> leave that as is?
[10:53] <ja1> ikonia: Should I prefere to keep stuff as modules instead of compiling them into the kernel? I always used to compile the stuff I need into the kernel, so thats pretty much an answer why I want to fiddle. In previous kernels I had less problems with stuff by compiling in kernel. Maybe that has changed. (Im not upto date)
[10:53] <atlef> HeLLzSpaWn: yes leave as is
[10:53] <ja1> mct_u232 up and running! Thanks.
[10:53] <ikonia> ja1 leave it as modular, don't recompile your kernel, let ubuntu people with more time and skill do it for you
[10:53] <CorpseFeeder> IntuitiveNipple: I was thinking that too.. but it seems to happen at random and I can't identify what app is doing it. The only way I've found to fix it is to reboot the computer :(
[10:54] <IntuitiveNipple> ja1: Ubuntu is modular, if you want to know the exact kernel config look in /boot/config*  files - those are the options each kernel version used when building
[10:54] <ja1> ikonia: If I dont fiddle, I get no skill. I got time.
[10:54] <ja1> as do you
[10:54] <ActionParsnip> CorpseFeeder: no idea man, websearching is proving fairly fruitless so far
[10:54] <ikonia> ja1: just be aware you'll lose support if you build your own kernel
[10:54] <ja1> ikonia: I never had support for my previous linux systems.
[10:55] <ikonia> ja1: yet your in here asking for support.
[10:55] <IntuitiveNipple> CorpseFeeder: I had it happen some time ago, can't remember now what app it was, but it turned out to be the way I was interacting with it... me being too fast, or it getting hung up on doing something when it ought to have been detecting the release the action
[10:55] <HeLLzSpaWn> atlef: synaptic wont let me install ﻿virtualbox-ose module for linux-image-2.6.24-20-generic
[10:55] <ikonia> !customkernel | ja1
[10:55] <HeLLzSpaWn> atlef: says Depends: linux-image-2.6.24-20-generic  but it is not installable
[10:55] <ja1> IntuitiveNipple: Ah, thats why I didnt find /proc/config.gz, they have changed it.
[10:55] <ikonia> ja1: no they havn't
[10:56] <atlef> HeLLzSpaWn: well, it used to work for me
[10:56] <ja1> ikonia: Then I have to recompile my kernel to get /proc/config.gz
[10:56] <ikonia> ja1: no-one has changed anything
[10:56] <HeLLzSpaWn> should i try a different one? 19?
[10:56] <dan> hello, i am having problems shutting down hardy. it just shows the word ubuntu -
[10:56] <ikonia> ja1: thats right yes
[10:56] <Monk> hey everyone! Is there anyone that can help me with my SiS graphic card drivers?
[10:56] <ikonia> ja1: although as you have the going in /boot - that seems a pointless task
[10:56] <ja1> ikonia: I hope they have changed ALOT since 2.4.x. Thats why I upgraded :D
[10:57] <atlef> HeLLzSpaWn: yes, try that
[10:57] <Anscombe> What's easier to set up, sendmail or postfix?
[10:57] <CorpseFeeder> I think my fiance might have intuitive nipples.. they seem to know intuitively when to go erect....
[10:57] <CorpseFeeder> er... did I say that in channel?
[10:57]  * IntuitiveNipple didn't see a thing *blinks*
[10:57] <HeLLzSpaWn> atlef: hmm...it did allow me to select it and hit apply...it's downloading now :| weird lol
[10:57] <CorpseFeeder> Think I'd better go....
[10:57] <ja1> ikonia: Whats up? You hang out here to help people do what they want, right? Then you tell them to go screw themself and that they DONT should do what they want? Im confused.
[10:58] <atlef> HeLLzSpaWn: well, your kernel is probably .19 and not .20
[10:58] <HeLLzSpaWn> so after that finishes downloading/installing i should be able to boot up the VM with xp?
[10:58] <ikonia> ja1 I told no-one to screw themselves, I'm just trying to make you aware of some info, your free to do what you wish of course
[10:58] <atlef> HeLLzSpaWn: yes
[10:58] <IntuitiveNipple> ja1: You should know the Linux world, you have to bring along your own motivation :)
[10:59] <HeLLzSpaWn> atlef: alright. Thanks man :)
[10:59] <atlef> HeLLzSpaWn: you are welcome
[10:59] <ja1> ikonia: Sorry for being harsh. Thanks for the help.
[10:59] <Monk> no one?
[10:59] <atlef> HeLLzSpaWn: hope that solves your problem
[10:59] <ActionParsnip> IntuitiveNipple: bring your own exasperation in Windows ;)
[10:59] <dan> anyone who knows why ubuntu hardy wont shutdown properly?
[10:59] <IntuitiveNipple> ja1: Ikonia has had experience of people out of their depth then asking for help, and causing headaches for the people here that are willing to try and help, to the frustration of all concerned
[10:59] <ActionParsnip> dan: what happens when you try
[11:00] <IntuitiveNipple> ActionParsnip: I thought that's what Microsoft charged for, in part? :p
[11:00] <ActionParsnip> IntuitiveNipple: you wish
[11:00] <ActionParsnip> IntuitiveNipple: ;)
[11:00] <IntuitiveNipple> ActionParsnip: Every night, and my dreams come true :D
[11:00] <dan> it just shows a black screen with the word "ubuntu"
[11:01] <ActionParsnip> dan: in a graphic or justthe word?
[11:01] <Monk> anyone knows how to figure out which graphic card i have and how to get the drivers?
[11:01] <dan> ActionParsnip: just the word
[11:01] <ActionParsnip> Monk: lspci
[11:01] <IntuitiveNipple> dan: Try starting the PC with the boot options "quiet splash" removed, then when it shuts down you might see some clues (although there aren't many shutdown log messages compared to start-up)
[11:02] <masmota> i have a simple ( i think ) question:  i keep getting a folder called "file:" in my home directory.  it gets recreated when i delete it, anyone know whats causing it? (/home/masmota/file:/home/masmota/Desktop) (empty)
[11:02] <ActionParsnip> dan: does it drop to a dos style logon screen
[11:02] <IntuitiveNipple> dan: Also, you can look at /var/log/kern.log and check the logged messages from the last time the system shutdown
[11:02] <Strang3r> hi guys
[11:02] <Strang3r> just wanted to ask u
[11:02] <ActionParsnip> dan: id go with IntuitiveNipple's suggestion so you can see whats going on
[11:02] <dan> IntuitiveNipple: ok
[11:02] <Strang3r> how can i get to the rc file of conky
[11:02] <Strang3r> what was the terminal command ?
[11:02] <ActionParsnip> dan: does sudo shutdown -r now work
[11:02] <dan> ActionParsnip: i will try. thanks guys
[11:03] <IntuitiveNipple> masmota: That looks like you've got a program set to save to a file and it has been given a URL-style file:// prefix
[11:03] <Monk> ActionParsnip: it says VGA compatible controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 661/741/760 PCI/AGP or 662/761Gx PCIE VGA Display Adapter. are there drivers?
[11:03] <ActionParsnip> Strang3r: theres a few here
[11:03] <ActionParsnip> Strang3r: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=281865
[11:03] <ja1> IntuitiveNipple, ikonia: I will repay your help by learning and helping others. So I guess I go recompile my kernel, loose the support, then come back to give support. (Probably I'll be back trying to get support inbetween :) Its faster to ask and get some directions than to have to try everything on your own. Keep the motivation up!
[11:03] <ActionParsnip> Monk: then you need to find how to get that working in ububtu
[11:03] <masmota> thanks, deluge is probly the culprit haha
[11:03] <ushimitsudoki> Strang3r: It is probably  at ~/.conkyrc .... use whatever text editor you like to edit it
[11:04] <ActionParsnip> Strang3r: there is a stock one someplace you can copy but make sure its in ~/.conkyrc
[11:04] <Strang3r> sure
[11:04] <Strang3r> but what was the comant
[11:04] <Strang3r> gedit /home/conkyrc
[11:04] <Strang3r> ?
[11:04] <Monk> ActionParsnip: the thing is i can't get any theme working properly neither cairo dock. I could do it on windows though!
[11:04] <Strang3r> that`s what I`m asking :)

[11:05] <ActionParsnip> Monk: windows is seperate to ubuntu, dont think about windows in ubuntu
[11:05] <ushimitsudoki> Strang3r: don't forget the period at the start of the filename ... you'll see that a lot!
[11:05] <ActionParsnip> Monk: looks like you simply need gksu gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[11:06] <ActionParsnip> Monk: then add the line Driver "sis: to your "Configured Display Adapter: section
[11:06] <Monk> ActionParsnip: yeah, you're right. what's that? i am relatively new on ubuntu
[11:07] <ActionParsnip> Monk: xorg.conf configures a lot, if you read that post i gave, and scroll down to Identifier	"Generic Video Card" you will see how you need to make yours look

[11:22] <atlef> HeLLzSpaWn: its a deb package, so you will get the choise to open it when you press download
[11:22] <airtonix> HeLLzSpaWn, there is no need to download the files atlef is suggesting, merely follow the advice the pormpt gave you : sudo apt-get install virtualbox-ose-modules-generi
[11:22] <airtonix> HeLLzSpaWn, sudo apt-get install virtualbox-ose-modules-generic
[11:23] <smm289> ﻿HeLLzSpaWn in synaptic I beleive you just have to grab the ose-guest-module-generic 24.06
[11:23] <Smegzor> I have a lot of packages for the game Wesnoth that are being held back and I don't know how to get rid of them/cancel them.  They got there because I ran an installer from playdeb.org.  How do I get rid of them?
[11:23] <HeLLzSpaWn> let me do what airtonix is saying
[11:23] <atlef> airtonix: he tried that, but it did not seem to work
[11:23] <smm289> ok, also when your done doing that, you need to add yourself to the virtualbox user group
[11:23] <airtonix> HeLLzSpaWn, you may also benefit from reading the pages on help.ubuntu.com/community
[11:23] <atlef> HeLLzSpaWn: oh, you need to restart
[11:23] <hsv4lyf> okay i have worked out how to decompress the gz file
[11:24] <atlef> HeLLzSpaWn: forgot to mention that
[11:24] <HeLLzSpaWn> ah...i didnt restart:P
[11:24] <Monk> ActionParsnip: done! now what?
[11:24] <HeLLzSpaWn> let me see if that fixes it before doing anything else
[11:24] <hsv4lyf> how do I install the driver?
[11:24] <airtonix> hsv4lyf, if you search google for "ubuntu Atheros AR5007EG" you will find a guide on how to deal with your drivers...although the page is for fesity you still may gain some idea about what to do

[11:25] <hsv4lyf> help
[11:25] <hsv4lyf> sorry didnt mean to say that
[11:25] <airtonix> HeLLzSpaWn, all modifications to kernel and its modules require a restart. as those files are only re-read into memory at boot time
[11:25] <hsv4lyf> ty airtonix
[11:26] <airtonix> hsv4lyf, never underestimate the experiences of past users at the ubuntuforums :)
[11:27] <HeLLzSpaWn> airtonix: yeah i just thought it would work from the get go...now i know anything that deals with the kernel needs a reboot..thanx for the heads up...i'll reboot now and see if it works

[11:32] <ushimitsudoki> Any ops for this guy Arney?
[11:33] <IntuitiveNipple> dandex: yeah, I was trying to figure out what limits you wanted to change :) Mostly it has to be done via /etc/security/limits.conf - I have read about adjusting run-time limits but it was a long while ago, and I can't remember if it was implemented or not
[11:33] <ActionParsnip> dandex: limits in what way?
[11:33] <Arney> im sory is it in the wrong place? im serious i want to dupe this

[11:40] <ActionParsnip> Monk: bah, ok try adding the resolutions to your screen section
[11:40] <Zergiu> after an OS update do I have to reinstall drivers?
[11:40] <jrib> hsv4lyf: build-essential is on the cd.  Not sure about linux-headers-$(uname -r), but they may be as well
[11:40] <ushimitsudoki> litel: maybe LMMS? http://lmms.sourceforge.net/
[11:40] <Monk> ActionParsnip: hmm?
[11:41] <hsv4lyf> is there a way i can download kernel headers and the build essential package onto my computer with windows computer and transfer to cd then install onto my linux computer?
[11:41] <ActionParsnip> Monk: the link i gave you, check it out. it has extra bits in the screensection which may help,
[11:41] <ActionParsnip> Monk: the nvidia driver needs resolution as well as refresh rates setting before it jumps to life
[11:41] <ActionParsnip> Monk: as an example
[11:42] <jrib> hsv4lyf: did you see what I said?
[11:42] <bastid_raZor> Zergiu; for video drivers? if you did not install them from apt-get or by the restricted manager then yes, after a kernel update.
[11:43] <Monk> ActionParsnip: I see it. So I should paste that section into my xorg.conf
[11:43] <Bigmack83> how do i fond out where a program is installed?
[11:43] <jrib> hsv4lyf: Your other option is to use synapitc, mark the packages you want for installation and then go to File -> Generate Download Script
[11:43] <ActionParsnip> Monk: yeah, well those lines about resolutions etc
[11:43] <jrib> Bigmack83: dpkg -L PACKAGE      but why?
[11:44] <airtonix> all: i found the reason, my issue was with font-subpixel-rendering, I needed to change it from full to medium and possibly also change the vrgb order...fonts render properly now
[11:44] <Bigmack83> jrib, iinstalled gallery2 for a site and it wants to know where the binary for dcraw is.
[11:45] <hsv4lyf> ok then will try it out
[11:45] <jrib> Bigmack83: did you install the dcraw package?
[11:45] <Bigmack83> yes
[11:45] <IntuitiveNipple> dandex: Will sysctl help you?
[11:45] <hsv4lyf> synapitc should already be installed in linux shouldn't it
[11:46] <jrib> hsv4lyf: System -> Administration -> Synaptic.  I would try my first suggestion to you about using the cd though as that would be easier
[11:46] <hsv4lyf> okay then, thankyou very much for your help jrib
[11:46] <Monk> ActionParsnip: whats the command for xorg.conf again? sorry =p
[11:46] <lesshaste> is it possible to read a pdf ebook in linux somehow? All I see when I try to click on the relevant link is the offer to download a text file called ebx.etd
[11:47] <ActionParsnip> Monk: press your up cursor
[11:47] <ActionParsnip> Monk: ;)
[11:47] <ushimitsudoki> lesshaste: there are lots of pdf viewers, but evince should be on your system by default and should open a PDf as expected
[11:47] <ActionParsnip> Monk: press it a few times
[11:47] <ActionParsnip> Monk: you'll see the command
[11:47] <HeLLzSpaWn> the restart didn't work guys...virtualbox still asks for the same thing...and now i got an extra choice in the grub menu (which i would like to get rid of if possible)
[11:48] <Monk> ActionParsnip: Cool!
[11:48] <Le-Chuck_ITA> Hi all, I am running tracker and I see I can tag things. But how do I list only items with these tags?
[11:48] <Le-Chuck_ITA> I mean in a gui
[11:48] <ActionParsnip> Monk: yuo can also show them all by typing history
[11:48] <lesshaste> ushimitsudoki, it seems it can't cope with the drm
[11:49] <IntuitiveNipple> Le-Chuck_ITA: do you have the tracker gnome-applet in the notification area?
[11:49] <lesshaste> ushimitsudoki, I can give you the link if you like
[11:49] <Le-Chuck_ITA> yes
[11:49] <ushimitsudoki> lesshaste: ah, srry don't use drm-stuff so can't help there
[11:49] <lesshaste> ushimitsudoki, hmm.. seems the answer is basically no without wine http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-software-2/ebx-40-bits-encrypted-pdfs-in-linux-404089/  :(
[11:49] <IntuitiveNipple> Le-Chuck_ITA: Does the right-click then Search help you with that?
[11:49] <tyberion> hello there
[11:49] <jrib> HeLLzSpaWn: you should restate your problem for those of us who just joined
[11:49] <Le-Chuck_ITA> IntuitiveNipple:
[11:50] <tyberion> How can I make dircolors to use my ~/.dircolors file for gnome-terminal :// dircolors -b ~/.dircolors wont do :|
[11:50] <Le-Chuck_ITA> IntuitiveNipple: (sorry I pressed enter by mistake) no it doesn't: I want to list only files that have a certain tag
[11:51] <IntuitiveNipple> Le-Chuck_ITA: Ahhh, the filter doesn't look that fab but I don't use it myself. That's the only GUI I'm aware of, but you might find mention of something more sophisticated at the trackerd web-site
[11:51] <jrib> tyberion: did you edit ~/.bashrc?
[11:51] <HeLLzSpaWn> jrib: i'm trying to get virtualbox working within linux mint 5 (elyssa) but it asks me for virtualbox-ose-modules..so i tried through synaptic and it seems either i downloaded the wrong one or i dunno :S
[11:51] <locke> le-chuck heh
[11:51] <locke> I'm Guybrush Threepwood, a mighty pirate!
[11:51] <Monk> ActionParsnip: Is this ok? http://paste.ubuntu.com/50438/
[11:52] <tyberion> jrib, think so.. a bit..if [ "$TERM" != "dumb" ] && [ -x /usr/bin/dircolors ]; then eval `/usr/bin/dircolors -b ~/.dircolors` alias ls='ls --color=auto'
[11:52] <ActionParsnip> HeLLzSpaWn: is your user part of the vbox group?
[11:52] <mg> Hi! How do I change the creation time of a directory?
[11:52] <Le-Chuck_ITA> locke: I will eat you like chocolate
[11:52] <locke> ahaha
[11:52] <ActionParsnip> Monk: looks fine
[11:52] <HeLLzSpaWn> ActionParsnip: yeah another guy here told me to do that and how to do it
[11:52] <locke> Le-Chuck_ITA, how appropriate, you fight like a cow!
[11:52] <ActionParsnip> Monk: save, close, reboot
[11:52] <IntuitiveNipple> Le-Chuck_ITA: On that site is says there are 'other tracker clients' listed on the Documentation page: http://www.gnome.org/projects/tracker/documentation.html
[11:52] <Le-Chuck_ITA> eheh
[11:52] <jrib> HeLLzSpaWn: #linuxmint for linux mint support
[11:53] <izike> i have upgraded to 8.10 but then fglrx doesnt work, is there any way i can come back to 8.04?
[11:53] <Le-Chuck_ITA> IntuitiveNipple: yes I am now downloading the dependencies to paperbox
[11:53] <ikonia> izike: not really, sorry
[11:53] <HeLLzSpaWn> jrib: ah ok...thanx
[11:53] <Le-Chuck_ITA> however I can already list my files with the command-line tracker-tag, just this doesn't let me browse tags visually
[11:53] <IntuitiveNipple> Le-Chuck_ITA: "Paperbox" sounds like it might be what you need
[11:53] <jrib> tyberion: see if it works without the conditionals
[11:53] <izike> ikonia:what about a way to get fglrx to work some how?
[11:53] <locke> Le-Chuck_ITA, i admire your taste in games
[11:53] <IntuitiveNipple> Le-Chuck_ITA: hahah - snap
[11:53] <locke> classic
[11:53] <tyberion> jrib: well shouldnt I be able to load dircolors in gnome-terminal easily?
[11:53] <ikonia> izike: well 8.10 support is in #ubuntu+1 but keep in mind it's in beta mode, lots break
[11:54] <Le-Chuck_ITA> locke: well, I have not been playing for years but MI was one of my favourites
[11:54] <locke> Le-Chuck_ITA, yeah me too, I don't really have time for games these days
[11:54] <buzuki> I search e rar password cracker for linux
[11:54] <buzuki> please help me
[11:54] <locke> Le-Chuck_ITA, i assume you also played grim fandango?
[11:55] <locke> is there a way to get an onscreen keyboard in ubuntu 8.04?
[11:55] <Smegzor> Will the latest gnome 2.24 be released for Hardy?  I have backports enabled but not proposed.
[11:55] <locke> like without downloading anything?
[11:55] <locke> or i guess even with downloading and installing something
[11:55] <ikonia> buzuki: why do you need a password cracker ?
[11:56] <ikonia> Smegzor: I can't see it, at least for a long time
[11:56] <IntuitiveNipple> Smegzor: Unlikely I think
[11:56] <locke> i spilled beer all in my keyboard and fried it, but i really needed to be able to type, and couldn't get another keyboard for a few days until just today
[11:56] <ikonia> Smegzor: as in I can't see it happening
[11:56] <Smegzor> What about Intrepid?
[11:56] <locke> i figured out how to type by copying single characters by highlighting and pasting with the middle mouse button
[11:56] <locke> but i couldn't hit enter to send (at least in IRC)
[11:56] <locke> i could go to urls with the button in firefox
[11:56] <Le-Chuck_ITA> locke: yes but never finished it, my girlfriend did, though
[11:56] <jrib> tyberion: what does just 'dircolors -b ~/.dircolors' return?
[11:57] <HeLLzSpaWn> jrib: that channel is dead :S nobody talking and theres only 10 people lol
[11:57] <locke> but if i would have ended up logging out or the power got cut and it rebooted i wouldnt have been able to log in
[11:57] <ActionParsnip> locke: you can use virtual keyboards
[11:57] <locke> ActionParsnip, how?
[11:57] <ikonia> Smegzor already in intreipd
[11:57] <IntuitiveNipple> Smegzor: Intrepid is aiming for 2.24 - many gnome packages in the repos are already 2.24
[11:57] <Smegzor> yay
[11:57] <mick02> Anyone have any problems shutting down Ubuntu? My PC will start shutting down but will hang with the progress bar nearly complete
[11:57] <locke> Le-Chuck_ITA, that was a great game too.. but yeah MI 1 and 2 were my favorites by far
[11:57] <ikonia> !offtopic | locke
[11:57] <Le-Chuck_ITA> yes ok ok
[11:57] <ikonia> ooh ubottu is dead
[11:58] <locke> yeah i know..
[11:58] <Felix_Krull> It appears that my fstab is messed-up. Somehow UUID for cd/dvd is lost and I cannot have automount for it and for the sd-card. Critical line is now: /dev/scd0       /media/cdrom0   udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0       0
[11:58] <locke> but anyways i do want to know about this 'virtual keyboard'
[11:58] <tyberion> jrib: syntax@nutshell:~$ dircolors -b ~/.dircolors
[11:58] <tyberion> LS_COLORS='no=00:fi=00:di=01;34:ln=01;36:pi=40;33:so=01;35:do=01;35:bd=40;33;01:cd=40;33;01:or=40;31;01:ex=01;32:*.tar=01;31:*.tgz=01;31:*.arj=01;31:*.taz=01;31:*.lzh=01;31:*.zip=01;31:*.z=01;31:*.Z=01;31:*.gz=01;31:*.bz2=01;31:*.deb=04;35:*.rpm=01;31:*.jar=01;31:*.jpg=00;35:*.jpeg=00;35:*.png=00;35:*.gif=00;35:*.bmp=00;35:*.pbm=00;35:*.pgm=00;35:*.ppm=00;35:*.tga=00;35:*.xbm=00;35:*.xpm=00;35:*.tif=00;35:*.tiff=00;35:*.fli=00;35:*.g
[11:58] <Felix_Krull> Can anyone help me?
[11:58] <locke> i'm worried if i break my keyboard again
[11:58] <tyberion> export LS_COLORS
[11:58] <Le-Chuck_ITA> locke: which virtual keyboard? music or just keys?
[11:58] <locke> i have homework i have to do that i can't say my keyboard broke to get out of :P
[11:58] <jrib> HeLLzSpaWn: linuxmint.com should have other support options.  This isn't the right place
[11:58] <locke> Le-Chuck_ITA, an onscreen keyboard i can use with the mouse
[11:58] <tyberion> but those are different from when I simply type dircolors afterwards... :/ it just wont use them
[11:58] <locke> like in win, the onscreen keyboard
[11:58] <Le-Chuck_ITA> there is one in gnome
[11:59] <locke> is there some sort of built in one?
[11:59] <locke> i couldn't figure out how to do it
[11:59] <Le-Chuck_ITA> and another one is in "cellwriter" which has a deb package (google for it)
[11:59] <jrib> tyberion: and so this doesn't work?:  eval `dircolors -b ~/.dircolors`
[11:59] <HSNews> how to extract bz2 archive?
[11:59] <Ziroday> locke: look under the assistive technologies option in System > Preferences > Assistive
[11:59] <locke> and had no keyboard to figure it out
[11:59] <jrib> HSNews: double click on it
[11:59] <HSNews> in terminal
[11:59] <Le-Chuck_ITA> locke: sudo apt-get install gok
[11:59] <jrib> HSNews: bunzip2
[11:59] <locke> Ziroday, i found that, but couldn't find anything in there
[11:59] <locke> gok huh, i'll try it
[12:00] <locke> there was no way i could have installed that while my keyboard was dead though
[12:00] <locke> couldn't type my password
[12:00] <locke> i could have typed the command itself by copy-pasting individual characters, but couldn't have pressed enter :P
[12:01] <Ziroday> !enter | locke
[12:01] <tyberion> jrib: well still, the values arent the same as in my .dircolors file
[12:01] <locke> maybe if i could have figured out how to get the alt+f2 dialog up without a keyboard
[12:01] <Felix_Krull> Anyone?!?
[12:01] <locke> it really was a dilemma :P
[12:01] <locke> no ubottu
[12:01] <Ziroday> locke: stop using enter as punctuation please.
[12:02] <ikonia> Felix_Krull: saying "anyone" is pointless, if someone didn't see the question "anyone" won't tell them what it is, if someone doesn't know the answer saying "anyone" won't make them know the answer
[12:02] <jrib> tyberion: were the values right before?  When you saw the output?
[12:02] <locke> Ziroday, i thought you had something to say about how to press enter without a keyboard :P lol
[12:02] <tyberion> jrib: yep..
[12:02] <IntuitiveNipple> locke: right-click panel, Add to Panel... choose "Run Application" applet
[12:03] <jrib> tyberion: how are you testing the values?
[12:03] <crimpson> Hey, im on remote desktop atm, how can i return to ubuntu?
[12:03] <crimpson> GNOME RDP
[12:03] <Felix_Krull> ikonia: Thanks for clearing me this out. However, do apologize me, I am a bit frustrated...
[12:03] <locke> IntuitiveNipple, oh yeah, nice tip!  le-chuck, how do i run gok from a menu?
[12:03] <locke> what does it appear in?
[12:04] <tyberion> jrib: well entering dircolors shows up the current configuration ?
[12:04] <jrib> tyberion: no.  echo $LS_COLORS
[12:04] <xomp> Felix_Krull, -apologize +forgive
[12:05] <tyberion> jrib omg it worx...      .. whats that dircolors command without any arguments doing then?
[12:06] <IntuitiveNipple> locke: There is a way to do the password without keys :)
[12:06] <jrib> tyberion: giving you the default from the database
[12:06] <DIFH-iceroot> how can i make the prompt (root@host) red, if i am root? like suse does if i am root in the shell
[12:06] <Felix_Krull> xomp: Yes, you see, I became illiterate/speechless... So frustrated...
[12:06] <crimpson> what is the right key to return to linux when you are in Gnome RDP?
[12:06] <locke> gok doesn't seem to let me do anything, i see no keyboard no matter what button i press
[12:06] <jrib> DIFH-iceroot: google: bash color prompt
[12:06] <IntuitiveNipple> locke: A bit contrived but... find the characters and copy/paste them into a text doc then copy them to clipboard and paste to prompt box
[12:07] <xomp> lol Felix_Krull it's understandable with ubuntu :P
[12:07] <locke> IntuitiveNipple, i tried that, but the enter (crlf) char just shows up as a little box with numbers in it (at least in xchat)
[12:07] <tyberion> jrib alright thanx=)
[12:07] <jrib> tyberion: no problem
[12:07] <lobner> Hello all. If I change my password with the users and groups thingy, why does the password for my keyring not change?
[12:07] <tyberion> eval `/usr/bin/dircolors -b ~/.dircolors` in .bashrc without any if statements
[12:07] <Felix_Krull> xomp: Well, I like it quite much, but what would you recommend? Windows?
[12:07] <IntuitiveNipple> locke: Couldn't you click the OK button in the gksu/gksudo dialog?
[12:08] <tyberion> should be fine then , right jrib  ?
[12:08] <lobner> And can anybody help me change it?
[12:08] <jrib> tyberion: yeah
[12:08] <lobner> Or point me to where I could read about it/
[12:08] <locke> IntuitiveNipple, i didn't have any dialog when i didn't have a keyboard, but in gok, i tried all the buttons but not a single one brought up an onscreen keyboared
[12:08] <jrib> tyberion: you can put the if statements in there.  I just suggested removing them for testing
[12:08] <locke> of course, i only just installed that and couldn't have installed it back when i didn't have a working keyboard anyways
[12:09] <xomp> Felix_Krull, I recommend linux, but sometimes support can be a bit slow, especially for easy issues lol. Most people assume you've done no research and refuse to answer an easy question because they feel you should know the answer.
[12:09] <locke> xomp, i've found that in ubuntu, people are far more willing to answer beginner questions than in other distros
[12:09] <bazhang> locke, what is the issue
[12:09] <marvxxx> i have the problem with a share i mounted (its on a samba server and i try it with a linux samba client) that i cant transfer the files of a directory in a directory. i can create files and directorys. and transfer files...but not directorys. when i try root it works even with the directorys. i mounted the samba share with uid and gid option.
[12:09] <ghaleb__> hello, how can I monitor a graph for server load and network traffic ?
[12:10] <Hew> If my sound is in use by some application, how do I find out which app it is?
[12:10] <locke> bazhang, my keyboard was broken for a few days and i was trying to figure out how i could type (reasonably) with just the mouse, but didn't have anything installed to handle the issue as i hadn't anticipated it
[12:10] <hateball> I've installed OpenLDAP, and thought I'd verify connectivity. The service is running, but neither port 389 nor 636 is open. What's wrong?
[12:10] <xomp> locke, you are correct, given that you're willing to repeat it over 9000 times and wait some few hours :P
[12:10] <IntuitiveNipple> xomp: The key thing is, anyone providing support here is doing it out of kindess and a willingness to help, not because they are required to. They have done their own research and expect others to do so, too
[12:10] <locke> so I'm trying to figure out how I would handle it if it happens again, so I can be ready in case
[12:11] <Felix_Krull> xomp: Do you know the answer to my problem? I just lost autostart for cd/dvd and sd. However, usb-memory is fine in that respect.
[12:11] <locke> IntuitiveNipple, exactly, but most ubuntu users are much more friendly than users of all other distros i've been into in the past
[12:12] <pho3nix> I need help installing flashplayer 9
[12:12] <IntuitiveNipple> locke: Yes, that is a key differentiator I've found
[12:12] <bazhang> http://packages.ubuntu.com/dapper/x11/xvkbd locke
[12:12] <Felix_Krull> xomp: I look at here and there, without any success. Then, I start dig and thought that is might be in fstab. I do not know. Loosing ideas...
[12:12] <Ziroday> !flash > pho3nix
[12:12] <IntuitiveNipple> locke: As long as the shared-support ethos continues it will be good - the problem will come if large numbers of users expect others to provide help and don't give anything back in return.
[12:13] <locke> bazhang, thanks, i'm gonna check it out right now
[12:13] <pho3nix> Ty
[12:13] <IntuitiveNipple> Felix_Krull: Is that happening after restarting the PC?
[12:13] <hsv4lyf> okay i found the build essential on the cd, when i went to install it i couldnt continue with the installation as i dont have a internet connection
[12:13] <locke> IntuitiveNipple, absolutely, that's why I like to hang out in the channels and help with what I can, because others have done the same for me
[12:13] <xomp> Felix_Krull, did the autorun for the cd/dvd work in the past for the cd/dvd? I have some cd/dvd's that have an autorun, but those are 99% windows autorun's :)
[12:14] <IntuitiveNipple> locke: Yeah, it gets you that way :)
[12:14] <Felix_Krull> IntuitiveNipple: At the beginning, just after installing 8.40, everything was fine -- cd/dvd and sd autostarted in Nautilus. Than, just suddenly, they stop to behave nicely...
[12:15] <locke> IntuitiveNipple, I can't help it, it would make me feel really bad to not give back at least something to the community..  even though I can be a moron sometimes, I still try to give something back
[12:15] <bazhang> locke, IntuitiveNipple please continue chat elsewhere
[12:15] <pho3nix> Score! Ty ty!
[12:15] <Felix_Krull> xomp: As I just said...
[12:15] <alexhq> Could someone produce me a set of netflow v9 packets please (needed for testing purposes)?
[12:15] <IntuitiveNipple> Felix_Krull: usually, automounting stops working during a session due to problems with nautilus gnome-mount... logging out will often clear the issue, but sometimes user processes don't stop as expected so logging-in again the same ones are used and the issue continues.
[12:15] <locke> ok
[12:16] <IntuitiveNipple> bazhang: how to win friends and influence people, huh?
[12:16] <hsv4lyf> there must be a way i can install the Atheros AR700EG Wireless Network Adapter from the driver I have already downloaded without a internet connection
[12:17] <Ziroday> !wifi | hsv4lyf
[12:17] <IntuitiveNipple> hsv4lyf: is the driver installer requiring a connection?
[12:17] <neSSun0o> can anyone suggest a good alternative to network manager?
[12:17] <Oins> I'm looking for a free, good IMAP Provider. Can anyone give me a commendation?
[12:17] <Ziroday> neSSun0o: wifi-radar or wicd
[12:17] <Felix_Krull> IntuitiveNipple: So, what should be my best try?!?
[12:17] <Ziroday> Oins: this is a support room, not a general chat room. Try in #ubuntu-offtopic
[12:17] <hsv4lyf> nope, the internet connection is needed for me to install build essential from the ubuntu cd
[12:18] <neSSun0o> is it in the repository?
[12:18] <neSSun0o> wicd?
[12:18] <IntuitiveNipple> Felix_Krull: First thing I'd do is set up a new user and log-in as that, and see if the problem still occurs. If not, then you know the issue is related to the user profile settings
[12:18] <Oins> Ziroday:  oh yes, sorry
[12:18] <IntuitiveNipple> Oins: gmail
[12:18] <neSSun0o> Ziroday: will i find wicd in the repos?
[12:18] <erry> ello
[12:18] <Ziroday> neSSun0o: no, you have to get it from the developers repos.
[12:18] <erry> can u plz help me
[12:19] <Ziroday> erry: we need to know your issue
[12:19] <Felix_Krull> IntuitiveNipple: I did that -- made probe account but the problem remained exactly the same; even if I log as a root...
[12:19] <erry> Aquarium wont work
[12:19] <erry> i mean
[12:19] <neSSun0o> hwo do i do that ziroday? im quite of a newbie
[12:19] <erry> it compiled ok
[12:19] <erry> but i enabled it and it disables itself
[12:19] <bazhang> http://wicd.sourceforge.net/ neSSun0o
[12:19] <IntuitiveNipple> Felix_Krull: ok, that at least rules out many issues
[12:19] <Oins> IntuitiveNipple:  thanks, but that provider is too "commercial" for me ;)
[12:19] <Ziroday> bazhang: thanks :)
[12:19] <bazhang> :)
[12:20] <erry> can u he;p me now
[12:20] <neSSun0o> alright thanks
[12:20] <IntuitiveNipple> Oins: Well, you get what you (don't)  pay for
[12:20] <erry> hello?
[12:20] <Zahraa> does ubuntu 8.04 have compiz ?
[12:20] <erry> ARGH
[12:20] <erry> HELLO
[12:20] <Ziroday> Zahraa: yes
[12:20] <erry> Am i invisible?
[12:20] <bazhang> !ccsm | Zahraa need this
[12:20] <erry> Can you _HELP_ me?
[12:20] <IntuitiveNipple> Felix_Krull: Next thing I'd do is monitor the udev events whilst loading a CD
[12:20] <erry> >HELP< me plz
[12:20] <erry> PLEASE
[12:20] <erry> HELP ME OR ELSE

[12:20] <erry> Oh sorry
[12:20] <erry> can u help me
[12:20] <erry> or not?
[12:20] <FloodBot1> erry: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[12:20] <Ziroday> erry: try asking in #compiz-fusion
[12:20] <erry> Please
[12:21] <IntuitiveNipple> erry: You're beyond help I'm afraid :)
[12:21] <jrib> erry: ask an actual question.  Annoying us makes it less likely we will help
[12:21] <Oins> IntuitiveNipple:  ok, that's although true
[12:24] <Felix_Krull> IntuitiveNipple: When I insert dvd nothing happens. I need to select cd/dvd in Places. However, udevmonitor is very, very quiet -- nothing is to be monitored.
[12:25] <Hexus> hello.  Im getting an error while trying to mount a ntfs drive.  It says volume name not found.  Is there a way to use the device name instead?
[12:25] <BuFF> how to make a screenshot of grub ?
[12:25] <BuFF> any ideas ?
[12:25] <theneb> Hi all, trying to install ubuntu on a machine. After grub a flashing _ just appears
[12:25] <theneb> Any boottime options I can run ?
[12:26] <Ziroday> Hexus: did you run exportfs -a after editing /etc/nfs/nfs.conf
[12:26] <Ziroday> theneb: how old is this machine and how long did you wait?
[12:26] <Hexus> ﻿Ziroday: that wasnt in any instructions.  Dont even know what that does.
[12:27] <hsv4lyf> how do i install build essential?
[12:27] <theneb> Ziroday: it's an amd64 (first generation)
[12:27] <Ziroday> Hexus: are you connecting to an nfs share you setup or someone else did?
[12:27] <theneb> Ziroday: long enough
[12:27] <jrib> hsv4lyf: with an internet connection?
[12:27] <Ziroday> !compile | hsv4lyf
[12:27] <tarelerulz> I have an nano black 8g and I mess up the phota database . I use gtkpod and The picture show up  ,but when I go to look at them I see nothing ,but black . Can anyone help me
[12:28] <Ziroday> theneb: you can try acpi=off and noapic. However I would recommend waiting longer
[12:28] <knoppix> hallo
[12:28] <hsv4lyf> nope i need it so i can install the driver to use my wireless internet connection
[12:28] <Hexus> ﻿Ziroday: its local.  I tried to mount it through the desktop but it said i had to force it.  when i tried to do that with the command it gave me in the terminal, it couldnt find the volume name of the drive.
[12:28] <jrib> hsv4lyf: I gave you two methods before.  Did those not work?
[12:28] <Ziroday> hsv4lyf: you can install it with sudo apt-get install build-essential
[12:28] <hsv4lyf> nope
[12:29] <ActionParsnip> yo yo yo
[12:29] <knoppix> Ich habe ein Problem,
[12:29] <Ziroday> Hexus: what was the command?
[12:29] <hsv4lyf> i found it on the ubuntu cd but it wont install without a internet connection
[12:29] <jrib> hsv4lyf: did you put in your cd and add the cd to your repository list?
[12:29] <coil> hi how do i totally remove the config files for postfix and all the other smtp stuff
[12:29] <jrib> !who | hsv4lyf
[12:29] <coil> and reinstall the generic ones
[12:29] <hsv4lyf> whats a repository list?
[12:30] <ActionParsnip> !aptoncd | hsv4lyf
[12:30] <jrib> hsv4lyf: system -> administration -> software sources
[12:30] <Zergiu> Hello , I have a sound problem and wana ask some questions.
[12:30] <pho3nix> I have a sound issue aswell
[12:30] <jrib> coil: purge the packages responsible for them
[12:30] <coil> apt-get purge?
[12:30] <jrib> coil: sure
[12:30] <Hexus> ﻿Ziroday:  sudo mount-t ntfs-3g /dev/sdb1/media/SHIN DATA HEAVEN -o force
[12:31] <theneb> Ziroday: I'll leave it running for 10 mins
[12:31] <bakarat_> hmm i think the asadmin script for glassfish 2 is slightly bugged in ubuntu 8.04.1
[12:31] <ActionParsnip> Hexus: you'll need some \s in there to handle the spaces
[12:31] <unop> Hexus, you need to quote the mount point properly as the directory has spaces.
[12:31] <Ziroday> theneb: you might also want to try the alternate installer if your computer is too old
[12:31] <bakarat_> where should i post an update on this?
[12:31] <Ziroday> Hexus: that is a ntfs drive *not* a nfs share
[12:31] <ActionParsnip> Zergiu: wassup with your sound man?
[12:32] <Ziroday> bakarat: file a bug report in launchpad
[12:32] <adityag> i have installed 8.04 ubuntu on my PC,is it possible to get the image of the same OS on a USB ?
[12:32] <Hexus> ﻿Ziroday:  how?  what does "\s" mean?  Yes, i know its not a share, volume name is just whats its called in windows.
[12:32] <ActionParsnip> Ziroday: thats the command you need then
[12:32] <unop> sudo mount-t ntfs-3g /dev/sdb1 "/media/SHIN DATA HEAVEN" -o force
[12:33] <ActionParsnip> Hexus: you cant have spaces without \. E.g. /dev/sdb1/media/SHIN\ DATA\ HEAVEN
[12:33] <unop> ActionParsnip, you could quote the directory without escaping whitespace
[12:33] <ActionParsnip> unop: thats one way
[12:33] <|MUSE|> could someone tell me how this works; in the processes tab on system monitor the total processor usage added up is 7%, but in the resources tab, on the CPU history graph, I have 25% on each processor?
[12:34] <unop> ActionParsnip, i think it's easier, cleaner too
[12:34] <pho3nix> Mediaplayer and YouTube can't run at the same time on my system
[12:34] <ActionParsnip> unop: i use tab camplete which uses \s
[12:34] <hsv4lyf> actionparsnip, what is aptoncd
[12:34] <adityag> is it possible to copy the 8.04 ubuntu on my PC, to a PEN drive ?
[12:34] <Zergiu> ActionParsnip I can't play music files , mesenger sound doesn't work , (but the introductive ubuntu song works , and youtube also)
[12:34] <adityag> and boot from the pen drive itself
[12:34] <hsv4lyf> ActionParsnip, i am completly new to linux btw
[12:35] <ActionParsnip> Zergiu: make sure each app is using the correct sound server
[12:35] <pho3nix> Zergiu: Do you have an integrated soundcard?
[12:35] <ActionParsnip> hsv4lyf: just add the cd as a repository then you can do offline installs
[12:36] <AussieGuy> is there an installation ISO I can download that has all the updates included?
[12:36] <Ar_bar> Hi. Who know polish chanel??
[12:36] <Zergiu> pho3nix: yes I do
[12:36] <jrib> !pl | Ar_bar
[12:36] <ActionParsnip> !pl | Ar_bar
[12:36] <Hexus> ﻿ActionParsnip: Its just giving me the help list.
[12:36] <pho3nix> Zergiu: then it's probably a Intel HDA one, right?
[12:36] <Ar_bar> see you
[12:37] <hsv4lyf> ActionParsnip, ok no worries, also i already have build essential downloaded in a file on my linux desktop and extracted, i goto compile it and it comes up with error 2 at the end of it
[12:37] <ActionParsnip> AussieGuy: you could download the next release, but its just the same as downloading the updates for each app you have
[12:38] <ActionParsnip> hsv4lyf: why not get the deb file for build-essential
[12:38] <Zergiu> pho3nix: it's not integrated it's a genius 5.1
[12:38] <adityag> ﻿﻿i have installed 8.04 ubuntu on my PC,is it possible to get the image of the same OS on a USB(pen drive) ? and boot from the pen drive ??
[12:39] <pho3nix> KK. Check your soundsettings, make sure it's the one running. Also see if you have ALSA-mixer as primary driver
[12:39] <hsv4lyf> ActionParsnip, where can I get the deb file for Ubuntu 8.04?
[12:39] <hsv4lyf> ActionParsnip, and what will this do?
[12:39] <|MUSE|> in the 'processes' tab on 'system monitor' the total processor usage added up is 7%, but in the 'resources' tab, on the 'CPU history' graph, I have 25% on each processor? What is wrong there?
[12:40] <Borman_> что-то у меня какой-то бред на мониторе..
[12:40] <coil> 25/7
[12:40] <Zergiu> pho3nix: ok , thanks for the help m8
[12:40] <pho3nix> Now, does anyone know how I get YouTube and Amarok running at the same time?
[12:40] <ActionParsnip> hsv4lyf: sudo apt-get upgrade-manager i thinkn it is, it will handle the upgrade for you
[12:40] <AussieGuy> does 8.04 have all the security updates?
[12:40] <|MUSE|> ﻿pho3nix: do you mean the sound?
[12:40] <pho3nix> Yep
[12:40] <jrib> hsv4lyf: you seem to just ignore what I tell you for some reason.  build-essential is on the cd
[12:41] <Hexus> ﻿ActionParsnip:  Im typing "sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdb1/media/SHIN\ DATA\ HEAVEN -o force" and all i get is the help list,  You guys see anything wrong with my syntax?
[12:41] <rainmaker> hi everybody
[12:41] <hsv4lyf> ActionParsnip, will i need a internet connection to download upgrade manager?
[12:41] <ActionParsnip> Hexus: id rename the mountpoint to not have spaces, its one less confusion
[12:41] <rainmaker> can anybody help me on wine config please?
[12:41] <|MUSE|> ﻿pho3nix: well there are two methods, you can install flash 10, or there is a package that fixes flash.
[12:41] <ActionParsnip> hsv4lyf: yeah
[12:41] <sitaram> Hexus: you need a space after sdb1?
[12:42] <ActionParsnip> hsv4lyf: it may be on the cd
[12:42] <bastid_raZor> Hexus; space between /dev/sdb1 and /media
[12:42] <Guest17153> does someone knows how i can directly edit files from my ftp i connected to ftp server with the built in connect to server but when i open a file to edit it i cant save it because its read only does someone know how to make it editable too?
[12:42] <pho3nix> |Muse|: Flash 10? I just installed flash 9. And I've tried installing the fixthing for the flashstuff
[12:42] <ActionParsnip> bastid_raZor: nice one
[12:42] <k_rock923> has anyone tried to do an ubuntu install without using the local console at all?  I have a headless machine that needs a new OS (old disk died)
[12:42] <hsv4lyf> jrib, i got build essential on my desktop of linux but i goto install it and it comes up at the end of the tasks after i goto compile it with error 2
[12:43] <ActionParsnip> k_rock923: you need to fire up sshd
[12:43] <Hexus> fuse: failed to access mountpoint media/SHIN DATA HEAVEN: No such file or directory
[12:43] <jrib> hsv4lyf: put in your cd.  add it to your repository list.  disable the online repositories.  go to Synaptic.  Install build-essential
[12:43] <k_rock923> right.  I've done that on gentoo before, but I had to hack up the iso to do it
[12:43] <ActionParsnip> Hexus: you need to sudo mkdir the mountpoint
[12:43] <hsv4lyf> jrib, also i cant type anything in after i use the su - command
[12:43] <|MUSE|> ﻿pho3nix: did you install libflashsupport?
[12:43] <bastid_raZor> Hexus; did you make that directory? plus having no spaces would be much easier
[12:44] <ActionParsnip> Hexus: sudo mkdir /media/SHIN\ DATA\ HEAVEN
[12:44] <Hexus> I didnt make the directory, no.
[12:44] <k_rock923> Is there a way to do it without having to modify the image on ubuntu, or should I just do it the way I already know how to do it?
[12:44] <hsv4lyf> jrib, ok thanks heaps, i will restart my computer and run linux and give it a go
[12:44] <pho3nix> |Muse|: Yes. Atleast I think so,
[12:44] <afallenhope> anyone ever use enigmail for  thunderbird? apparently my emails won't show nwo
[12:44] <pho3nix> |Muse|: I'll try again
[12:44] <ActionParsnip> Hexus: then how are you going to mount to a folder that doesnt exist
[12:44] <ActionParsnip> Hexus: make the folder, then mount to it
[12:44] <afallenhope> well some do others dont
[12:44] <afallenhope> others just show the wrong emai
[12:45] <pho3nix> |Muse|: Yep, I've installed it.
[12:45] <Hexus> ah.  I didnt know I had to make the dir too.  You guys are awesome
[12:45] <|MUSE|> ﻿﻿pho3nix: type 'whereis libflashsupport' into the terminal.
[12:45] <Hexus> great to have one thing work
[12:46] <ActionParsnip> Hexus: one step at a time, id avoid folders with spaces in the name in future
[12:46] <ActionParsnip> Hexus: if you want it mounted at boot, edit your /etc/fstab
[12:46] <pho3nix> |MUSE|:/usr/lib/libsflashsupport.so /usr/lib64/libflashsupport.so
[12:46] <|MUSE|> ok, now you must turn restart your browser and see what happens.
[12:46] <|MUSE|> -turn
[12:47] <rainmaker> can anybody advise me on wine configuration please?
[12:47] <pho3nix> |Muse|: No luck
[12:48] <ActionParsnip> rainmaker: its independant to each app
[12:48] <|MUSE|> google for 'linux flash astro' and download and install the latest flash
[12:48] <pho3nix> K
[12:49] <|MUSE|> ﻿in the 'processes' tab on 'system monitor' the total processor usage added up is 7%, but in the 'resources' tab, on the 'CPU history' graph, I have 25% on each processor? Please could someone explain this?
[12:49] <rainmaker> i need to move drive_c onto another hd
[12:49] <rainmaker> can that be done?
[12:50] <IntuitiveNipple> |MUSE|: the overall usage includes I/O wait times
[12:50] <ActionParsnip> rainmaker: move it then add a symlink back so it appears in that place
[12:50] <pho3nix> |Muse|: A quick one: How -exaclty - do I get the .tar.gz file to extract and install?
[12:50] <ikonia> pho3nix: tar zxvf $file
[12:50] <ikonia> pho3nix: then read the "README" in the directory to install it
[12:50] <pho3nix> K thx
[12:51] <ikonia> pho3nix: what package are you trying to install
[12:51] <pho3nix> Flash 10
[12:51] <ActionParsnip> rainmaker: i dunno if symlinks are supported but it should do
[12:51] <ikonia> pho3nix: just sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree to get the correct supported version for ubuntu
[12:51] <rainmaker> thnx action, does it matter if my other hd is on ntfs?
[12:51] <simNIX> im setting up autmated install with a preseed file for my lamp server. During install i'm asked what password to set for mysql. Ggoogling I havent been able to find howto preseed this mysql password to make this setup unattended
[12:52] <pho3nix> ikonia: Done that, didn't help
[12:52] <ikonia> simNIX: how are you automating the install
[12:52] <ActionParsnip> rainmaker: none at all as far as i can tell, sometimes apps dont like it and refuse to run, try it
[12:52] <ActionParsnip> rainmaker: you can always copy back
[12:53] <rainmaker> kk thanks action for the advise
[12:53] <pho3nix> ikonia: Any ideas?
[12:53] <ikonia> pho3nix: what is actually the problem ?
[12:53] <simNIX> ikonia, I pxe boot start the setup and automated answers with a preseed file - see https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/installation-guide/example-preseed.txt
[12:54] <pho3nix> YouTube and Amarok won't play at the same time
[12:54] <gjy> hello
[12:54] <gjy> why
[12:54] <ikonia> simNIX: I've never done it that way before, I'll have a read
[12:55] <ikonia> pho3nix: visually or audio
[12:55] <ikonia> pho3nix: why do you think flash 10 will solve it ?
[12:55] <pho3nix> ikonia: Well, libflashsupport, flash 9, nothing works
[12:55] <pho3nix> It's audio btw
[12:56] <ikonia> pho3nix is this a known issue ? (ubuntuforums/launchpad)
[12:56] <pho3nix> Somewhat. I've tried to follow like three diffrent guides
[12:56] <nnull> can someone tell me how i leave fullscreen mode in vinigre vnc please?
[12:57] <pho3nix> Amarok keeps telling me the driver is buissy when I run them simountaniously
[12:57] <gjy> i donnot know
[12:57] <nnull> dw found it heh
[12:59] <asho79> Hi there. Does anyone know about a problem with using gedit for writing programs? I get a strange A symbol before my quotation marks
[12:59] <ikonia> asho79 what symbol
[12:59] <SiDi> asho79, this is encoding problem
[13:00] <SiDi> The " symbol in ANSI looks like a weird A in UTF-8
[13:00] <SiDi> You probably open ANSI chars while gedit works by default in UTF-8
[13:00] <asho79> ikonia: an A with a circle above it
[13:00] <pho3nix> That's an å
[13:01] <achadwick> For programming you typically want typewriter "s, not curly ones.
[13:01] <murlidhar> can anybody help me install cursor themes in ubuntu .
[13:01] <achadwick> If you're pasting code from a web source, bear in mind that the server may have tried to be "smart" about the quotes.
[13:02] <ikonia> murlidhar: the themes are availble from gnome-look.org and normally come with instructions
[13:02] <murlidhar> arvind_khadri: hi . how is bangalore ?
[13:03] <asho79> achadwick:They´re scripts I´m writing myself
[13:03] <asho79> Anyone know how to get around it?
[13:03] <ikonia> murlidhar: in #ubuntu-offtopic please
[13:03] <asho79> is it a gedit setting?
[13:03] <ikonia> asho79: I thought edit would be fine with encoding, are you having problems with any other applications
[13:04] <pho3nix> No ideas to the sound issue?
[13:04] <SiDi> asho79, you have options for encoding when you save your file
[13:04] <ActionParsnip> asho79: you could copy and paste from the web :D
[13:04] <achadwick> asho79: your keyboard clearly loves curly quotes. Which language settings and input systems are you using?
[13:04] <ikonia> pho3nix: normally with libflashsound your fine
[13:05] <asho79> ikonia: actually, my ubuntu installation is a bit damaged; I´m waiting for Intrepid; It does need fixing :-)
[13:05] <achadwick> (I'm noticing it when you type "I´m", for example :)
[13:05] <pho3nix> ikonia: Yep. This seems kinda fucked up
[13:05] <ikonia> pho3nix: that language is uncalled for
[13:05] <ActionParsnip> !ohmy | pho3nix
[13:05] <pho3nix> Roger, wilco
[13:05] <pho3nix> Hehe, "familiy friendly"! Sounds like Microsoft!
[13:06] <asho79> I think it could be my keyboard settings
[13:06] <ikonia> pho3nix: no it doesn't
[13:06] <SiDi> asho79, you possibly pasted some text from an ANSI document and when you hit Ctrl+S to save your doc, it saved in UTF-8?
[13:07] <kebomix> hello ppl
[13:07] <asho79> SiDi: nah, wrote them and saved them
[13:07] <ActionParsnip> !hi | kebomix
[13:07] <kebomix> how i can run  c++ and c# in ubuntu  like microsoft visual c++ in windows ?
[13:07] <asho79> thanks for the help
[13:07] <ActionParsnip> kebomix: sudo apt-get install build-essential
[13:08] <SiDi> kebomix, write your files and use "gcc" and "g++" to compile the files
[13:08] <asho79> trial ¨¨¨, ´´´
[13:08] <ActionParsnip> kebomix: that'll give you libs and g++ compiler
[13:08] <ConstantineXVI> is there a decent graphing calculator replacement app in the repositories?
[13:08] <ActionParsnip> ConstantineXVI: speedcrunch
[13:08] <ActionParsnip> ConstantineXVI: or gcalc
[13:09] <arvind_khadri> kebomix, VC++ is proprietary software :)
[13:09] <kebomix> thx 4 help
[13:09] <steveccc> hi all - i want to purchase a usb hard disk to use with ubuntu - most are obviously formatted with fat 32 but I want to reformat them with ext3 preferably - I would have thought as they are all usb disks which should be detected by linux that I can format any of them with ext3 but do some have issues working with linux?
[13:09] <ConstantineXVI> ActionParsnip, i really need the graphing portion ATM, which neither gcalc or speedcrunch have
[13:09] <hsv4lyf> jrib, okay i have sucessfully installed build essential, now to install my driver what do i have to do?
[13:09] <asho79> Constantine: have you tried lybniz?
[13:09] <ActionParsnip> steveccc: no, just buy any you like
[13:10] <ConstantineXVI> asho79, no, I'll give it a shot
[13:10] <ActionParsnip> ConstantineXVI: then you'll need something like open office's calc to make spreadsheets is all i can suggest
[13:10] <jrib> hsv4lyf: was linux-headers-* on there too?
[13:11] <hsv4lyf> on the cd?
[13:11] <jrib> hsv4lyf: yeah
[13:11] <hsv4lyf> jrip, oops my bad, sorry i forgot to check it
[13:11] <asho79> Constantine: it´s ok, you have to zoom in to see your maximums and minimums
[13:11] <arvind_khadri> steveccc, why do you want ext3 on it... are you going to install ubuntu on it?
[13:11] <jrib> hsv4lyf: you said you needed them right?
[13:11] <hsv4lyf> jrib, i will just check now
[13:12] <kebomix> http://request-ebooks.blogspot.com  / free programming ebooks
[13:12] <jrib> !ot | kebomix
[13:12] <ConstantineXVI> asho79, it works well enough
[13:12] <ConstantineXVI> it'
[13:12] <ConstantineXVI> it'll have to since i left my 50g at home
[13:13] <asho79> cool
[13:13] <tsai_rox> hi all, I am trying to get my screen resolution smaller. Here is my xorg.conf file http://pastebin.com/f3cae2a65.  What do I need to do it to get smaller screen resolution?
[13:14] <asho79> kebomix: thanks, great link
[13:14] <steveccc> arvind_khadri: no just dont want fat32
[13:14] <kebomix> welcome :D
[13:14] <hsv4lyf> jrib, just had a look for linux-headers-* but no luck
[13:14] <arvind_khadri> steveccc, then just buy it and format it with ext3 :)
[13:15] <ActionParsnip> steveccc: if its for windows boxes too, use ntfs
[13:15] <steveccc> arvind_khadri: thanks - thats what I was double checking that I can format any of them and actionparsnip gave me a thumbs up and so are you so thanks
[13:16] <arvind_khadri> steveccc, welcome :)
[13:16] <ActionParsnip> np steveccc
[13:16] <steveccc> actionparsnip: thanks - i want ext3 so it isnt really readable on windows - i sare say there are plugins which allow you to but just want to not make it easy
[13:16] <arvind_khadri> steveccc, tune2fs is one :)
[13:17] <steveccc> arvind_khadri: its mainly to stop someone in the family opening it and overwriting work - they wont go to installing plugins to access it it just wont read
[13:18] <hsv4lyf> jrib, what i have done under the madwifi directory is typed in the make command and it made the compile, whats the next step after that?
[13:18] <jrib> hsv4lyf: yep, you're right.  Use packages.ubuntu.com, but make sure you get the right version.  You'll need to satisfy dependencies manually (I believe the only dependency you need is the package without the -generic part)
[13:18] <ActionParsnip> hsv4lyf: why not just use deb?
[13:18] <jrib> hsv4lyf: what directions are you following
[13:19] <Rioting_pacifist> whats the best way to maintain two ubuntu installs side by side
[13:19] <arvind_khadri> steveccc, oh
[13:19] <ConstantineXVI> oh, does anyone know if evolution in intrepid will handle exchange 2007?
[13:19] <hsv4lyf> ActionParsnip, im not to sure what deb is or where to get it from
[13:19] <arvind_khadri> ConstantineXVI, ask #ubuntu+1
[13:19] <Rioting_pacifist> ConstantineXVI: im not sure but if its in gnome 2.24 id guess it will
[13:20] <ConstantineXVI> Rioting_pacifist, a better question would be why you want two installs
[13:20] <Rioting_pacifist> ConstantineXVI: stable & testing
[13:20] <steveccc> arvind_khadri: there isnt a simple way of encrypting the drive is there
[13:20] <webfarmer> I did a recent upgrade and now I can't even get to my login window
[13:20] <webfarmer> it flickers in this endless loop
[13:21] <hsv4lyf> Jrib, so i just goto the packages.ubuntu.com website and download from there?
[13:21] <arvind_khadri> steveccc, in Windoze or in Ubuntu
[13:21] <jrib> webfarmer: what video drivers are you using ?
[13:21] <webfarmer> with the default drum audio playing over and over again
[13:21] <webfarmer> can someone please help me
[13:21] <steveccc> arvind_khadri:ubuntu
[13:21] <jrib> hsv4lyf: sure, but there may be an easier way to get your drivers.  What directions are you following?
[13:21] <ActionParsnip> webfarmer: login to the console and backup your xorg.conf, then boot to recovery and fix xorg.conf
[13:21] <Rioting_pacifist> arvind_khadri: only just joined so not sure if this is relevent but llvm handle encrypted partitions well alternatively it can be done using crypttabs, ive installed a few encrypted roots but entering my password on boot became a PITA
[13:21] <ActionParsnip> webfarmer: that will give you failsafe graphics and you can troubleshoot from there
[13:22] <LjL> webfarmer, ActionParsnip: well, if he hears the startup sound, i think that means it reaches GNOME, so the X settings might not be the problem perhaps
[13:22] <arvind_khadri> steveccc, i guess RAID is also used for that
[13:22] <webfarmer> NVIDIA
[13:22] <jrib> webfarmer: how did you install those drivers?
[13:22] <Rioting_pacifist> webfarmer: does ctrl+alt+bkspace help?
[13:22] <webfarmer> it's on my laptop VAIO
[13:22] <hsv4lyf> Jrib, i havent been following any directions as i dont know where to get these directions from
[13:23] <webfarmer> ActionParsnip what?
[13:23] <webfarmer> the cd did it automatically
[13:23] <Rioting_pacifist> !encryption
[13:23] <arvind_khadri> Rioting_pacifist, oh :)
[13:23] <ActionParsnip> LjLif the display is flickering it more than likely is
[13:23] <steveccc> arvind_khadri: not sure what you mean with raid comment
[13:23] <ActionParsnip> webfarmer: when grub says press esc, press it and choose recovery for your normal kernel
[13:23] <Rioting_pacifist> steveccc: only just joined so not sure if this is relevent but llvm handle encrypted partitions well alternatively it can be done using crypttabs, ive installed a few encrypted roots but entering my password on boot became a PITA
[13:23] <jrib> webfarmer: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Madwifi claims you just need linux-restricted-modules (on the cd) and madwifi-tools (grab from packages.ubuntu.com I guess)
[13:23] <Rioting_pacifist> !ecrypted-root
[13:24] <ActionParsnip> webfarmer: then choose root console and backup /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[13:24] <webfarmer> no control alt backspace doesn't help
[13:24] <webfarmer> although I do see the system doing something
[13:24] <ActionParsnip> webfarmer: then reboot and repeat but instead choose recovery, then fix xorg.conf (or whatever its called)
[13:24] <webfarmer> don't really know linux and all this tech stuff - just a warning
[13:24] <webfarmer> I is a real noob
[13:24] <ActionParsnip> webfarmer: im telling you step by step here
[13:25] <steveccc> rioting_pacifist: well i am going to have a usb disk with 1 ext3 filesystem on it and i ideally want to click encrypt and then disconnect it to stop a thief getting the files and then on plugging it back in unencrypt - didnt want a long process though ideally or it may get a pain to use - is this simple
[13:25] <arvind_khadri> steveccc, hang on a sec
[13:25] <geirha> Rioting_pacifist: Only problem is how to get GRUB to handle two installs nicely. I don't know that much about how ubuntu and grub work together. I usually install my stable system with grub, and test systems without grub, then I update the grub menu manually.
[13:25] <webfarmer> ActionParsnip I did that
[13:25] <ActionParsnip> webfarmer: if you have a vaguely usable desktop, switch your driver in xorg.conf to nv and reboot
[13:25] <webfarmer> reboot
[13:25] <webfarmer> press escape
[13:25] <webfarmer> boot from recovery
[13:25] <webfarmer> still this happens
[13:25] <FloodBot1> webfarmer: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[13:26] <Rioting_pacifist> geirha: yeah thats the problem i ran into, suppose updating it manually isnt too bad
[13:26] <ActionParsnip> webfarmer: check the monitor connection to your graphics card
[13:26] <stuarticus> Anyone any experience of using testdisk to recover failed ntfs partitions?
[13:26] <geirha> Rioting_pacifist: Also, if the test system does not require access to your hardware, installing it in a virtualbox is much easier
[13:26] <jrib> webfarmer: you went into a root shell in recovery mode?
[13:26] <ActionParsnip> stuarticus: yeah i did it
[13:26] <hsv4lyf> Jrib, i havent been following any directions as i dont know where to get these directions from
[13:26] <Rioting_pacifist> geirha: nah im looking at the radeon drivers so hardware access is pretty much essential
[13:26] <stuarticus> Any advice, I'm not really getting anywhere...
[13:26] <jrib> hsv4lyf: did you see the ones I just linked you to?
[13:26] <geirha> Rioting_pacifist: It might work if you create a /boot partition that both installs use, though I haven't tried that myself
[13:26] <hsv4lyf> Jrib, no sorry
[13:27] <arvind_khadri> steveccc, true crypt is there
[13:27] <ActionParsnip> stuarticus: i'll pm you
[13:27] <stuarticus> thx
[13:27] <webfarmer> ActionParsnip - it's on my laptop?
[13:27] <Rioting_pacifist> truecrypt and i think something like pam-automount springs to mind
[13:27] <jim_p> hello
[13:28] <steveccc> arvind_khadri: is it complicated or slow to use?
[13:28] <jrib> hsv4lyf: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Madwifi claims you just need linux-restricted-modules (on the cd) and madwifi-tools (grab from packages.ubuntu.com I guess)
[13:28] <arvind_khadri> steveccc, i just googled it :)
[13:28] <jrib> webfarmer: ignore the madwifi link I gave you earlier as that was for someone else :)
[13:28] <hsv4lyf> Jrib, okay thankyou
[13:29] <Rioting_pacifist> steveccc: truecrypt is not slow, im not sure if the GUI interface is easy to use as ive not used it in a while though
[13:30] <hsv4lyf> Jrib, 3.1. Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy) The drivers are in the restricted modules package; also see the madwifi-tools package. sudo apt-get install linux-restricted-modules madwifi-tools
[13:30] <arvind_khadri> steveccc, http://linhost.info/2008/05/installing-truecrypt-in-ubuntu-804/
[13:30] <hsv4lyf> Jrib, wont this require a internet connection with ubuntu
[13:31] <webfarmer> jrib no? I reboot, I press escape I then go to recovery, U then go to root on the blue, grey, red screen and now what
[13:31] <steveccc> rioting_pacifist: i did use one but it had to encrypt every file and it left the encryped version and the non encrypted version side by side and hence you had to go through removing all the non versions - was long winded
[13:31] <LjL> hsv4lyf: most likely, it's a bit of a catch 22, but as he said, you can grab manually from packages.ubuntu.com
[13:31] <LjL> !offline > hsv4lyf    (hsv4lyf, see the private message from Ubotu) this, too
[13:31] <webfarmer> type in backup /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[13:31] <jrib> hsv4lyf: linux-restricted-modules is on the cd.  The other one you can get using packages.ubuntu.com or using the "generate download script" in synaptic (then downloading in windows and installing what you downloaded on ubuntu)
[13:31] <arvind_khadri> steveccc, and this too http://tombuntu.com/index.php/2007/09/03/using-truecrypt-on-ubuntu-for-encryption/
[13:31] <jrib> webfarmer: you have a shell prompt now?
[13:31] <Rioting_pacifist> steveccc: you can set up an entire encrypted partition
[13:32] <arvind_khadri> hsv4lyf, or use a aptoncd of a friend who uses ubuntu
[13:32] <steveccc> rioting_pacifist: that would be ideal
 steveccc, and this too http://tombuntu.com/index.php/2007/09/03/using-truecrypt-on-ubuntu-for-encryption/ < i think that guide is for an entire partition
[13:33] <jrib> !pm | webfarmer
[13:33] <webfarmer> jrib yea
[13:33] <arvind_khadri> Rioting_pacifist, he wanted it for the entire disk i believe
[13:33] <theneb> Hi all, got an amd athlon 64. Used the 64bit version of the live cd and it doesn't get past a blinking _ after loading the kernel. On 32bit it loads up
[13:33] <theneb> Is amd64 supported for all amd 64bit chips?
[13:34] <webfarmer> the terminal
[13:34] <webfarmer> only bigger
[13:34] <jrib> theneb: did you "check the cd for defects"
[13:34] <theneb> That does the same thing, ie blinking
[13:34] <Rioting_pacifist> i think it will require droping to command line everytime you want to mount/unmount but its fairly simple and wont leave seperate files lying about, you may even want to use a fat partition for a hidden partition
[13:35] <LjL> theneb: then check it from another OS
[13:35] <LjL> !md5 > theneb    (theneb, see the private message from Ubotu)
[13:35] <Thermionix> hurro
[13:36] <webfarmer> sorry - jrib - I'm in root - what do I do now?
[13:36] <Rioting_pacifist> !chroot
[13:36] <hsv4lyf> Jrib, which package would I get from packages.ubuntu.com I found the ones for linux-restricted-modules
[13:37] <hsv4lyf> Jrib, there is 4 different ones to choose from
[13:37] <LjL> hsv4lyf: madwifi-tools i believe?
[13:37] <jrib> hsv4lyf: linux-restricted-modules is on the cd.  You need madwifi-tools
[13:37] <webfarmer> go backup that file?
[13:37] <jrib> webfarmer: sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf{,.backup}
[13:38] <jrib> webfarmer: omit the sudo
[13:38]  * LjL awards jrib the Crazy Unexpected Wildcard Award of the day
[13:39] <stuarticus> Anyone know why testdisk only seems to open drives read only?
[13:39] <Johnny_> Hello
[13:39] <hsv4lyf> Jrib, which do i pick from out of this list http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/madwifi-tools
[13:40] <LjL> hsv4lyf: the i386 one if you're on the 32bit version, the amd64 one if you're on the 64bit version
[13:41] <Johnny_____> I want to install XP on my laptop, but it doesn
[13:41] <brett007> hello all
[13:41] <Johnny_____> recognise any drives. What to do?
[13:41] <hsv4lyf> LjL, how do i find out which version of Ubuntu im running?
[13:41] <jrib> Johnny_____: ##windows for windows help
[13:41] <Johnny_____> ok
[13:41] <Johnny_____> ##windows
[13:41] <brett007> can someone perhaps point me to some place or perhaps help me with programming in visual basic to interface the serial port (RS232)
[13:41] <Johnny_____> opps
[13:41] <DJones> !version | hsv4lyf
[13:42] <hsv4lyf> !version
[13:42] <LjL> DJones: that doesn't tell you whether it's 32 or 64 bit, though
[13:42] <hateball> brett007: I doubt you'll find many Visual Basic programmers in here :/
[13:42] <tyberion> heyho..
[13:42] <jrib> hsv4lyf: how did you get ubuntu?  Did you download it or are you using a cd from shipit?
[13:42] <LjL> hsv4lyf: uname -m should
[13:43] <DJones> LjL: I didn't realise that, thanks for the info, I'll try & rememebr that
[13:43] <v3ctor> uname -m will
[13:43] <brett007> hateball: i use to have ubuntu on, but had to remove it. DO you think it will be easier to code it in c through windows?
[13:43] <tyberion> hm, is there a table where I can see the whole color table.. those who I can type root-tail -color <#COLOR#>? ??
[13:43] <LjL> !ot | brett007
[13:43] <tyberion> e.g. what parse-names are exisiting, and so on
[13:44] <nnull> the secondary drive i had ubuntu on failed and now grub errors on boot not allowing me to boot to xp to try make space on another drive to install, how do i remove grub? format the mbr? do i need a xp cd for that or?
[13:44] <hsv4lyf> LjL, can i use the terminal for that command?
[13:44] <LjL> hsv4lyf: sure, what else?
[13:44] <theneb> LjL: just run a checksum, identical
[13:44] <LjL> stuarticus: dunno, are you using sudo with it?
[13:45] <LjL> theneb: then it doesn't like your hardware, indeed. did you try the 32bit version at all?
[13:45] <indomiti> i installed ubuntu with alternative CD... i set it all up with encrypted partitions and then LVM on top of that...... is it possible to use the same partitioning tool i used when to install? or should i use another one?
[13:45] <hsv4lyf> LjL, lol thanks, im new to Ubuntu as i have been a windows user all my life, i just wanted to try something new
[13:45] <theneb> LjL: Yes I did, booted
[13:45] <theneb> Should I just install 32 bit and upgrade to 64bit?
[13:46] <LjL> theneb: if you have no particular reason to use 64bit, why don't you just keep using 32bit?  anyway, the fact that 64bit doesn't boot for you is a bug, you should investigate further and report it
[13:46] <brett007> #join #windows
[13:46] <LjL> brett007: /join #windows
[13:46] <tyberion> is there a way to start e.g. root-tail with -color prompt.. but not with a "black, white, cyan,... etc" flag, but an # html hexa code for colors?
[13:46] <theneb> LjL: okay , cheers
[13:46] <Pedro> hi ppl, where to find help about eee ubuntu?
[13:46] <nnull> i have xp and ubuntu dual booted, the drive i had xubuntu on failed, and now grub errors on boot, do need to use my windows xp cd and somehow format the mbr or?
[13:46] <LjL> theneb: perhaps try removing "quiet" and adding "nosplash" to the kernel boot options (i believe you get them by hitting F6 in the CD), see if there's any errors at all...
[13:47] <LjL> theneb: if there are none, then just report a bug describing your hardware as accurately as possible (perhaps the output of "lshw" from a working 32bit Ubuntu will help), and saying you get a blinking cursor right after starting (if that's what's happening)
[13:48] <hsv4lyf> LjL, once i download madwifi-tools what is the next step
[13:48] <theneb> LjL: Yeah, ok will do. Thanks for your help.
[13:48] <webfarmer> ok I'm downloading the package you need in order to use backup and it'
[13:49] <LjL> hsv4lyf: "sudo dpkg -i package-file-name.deb" to install it, then i don't really know
[13:49] <webfarmer> it's asking for a range of stuff that I don't understand at all
[13:49] <LjL> webfarmer: in order to use backup?
[13:49] <webfarmer> openafs? what is that
[13:49] <LjL> i haven't the slighest idea
[13:50] <s3phiroth> hi guys. i've setup the proxy on the gnome's network proxy utility and i have firefox using the environment settings, but it doesn't ignore local addresses like 127.0.0.1 even though i have those defined on the gnome proxy utility. doesn't firefox care about those definitions if they aren't defined inside it ?
[13:50] <LjL> webfarmer, what the heck did you type? i believe the last thing that jrib told you to type was "cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf{,.backup}", and it doesn't sound like you typed *that*
[13:51] <nnull> i have xp and ubuntu dual booted, the drive i had xubuntu on failed, and now grub errors on boot, do need to use my windows xp cd and somehow format the mbr or?
[13:51] <indomiti> i installed ubuntu with alternative CD... i set it all up with encrypted partitions and then LVM on top of that...... is it possible to use the same partitioning tool i used when to install? or should i use another one? i would prefer to use the same partitioning utility as when i installed ubuntu, but how do i start it?
[13:53] <s3phiroth> if i define the proxy and the exceptions directly on firefox it works perfectly. but i don't want to do this all the time :(
[13:53] <s3phiroth> so...this seems like a firefox bug
[13:53] <webfarmer> my connection keeps messing out
[13:53] <webfarmer> what is openafs
[13:54] <LjL> webfarmer: i don't know. but i asked
[13:54] <LjL> webfarmer, what the heck did you type? i believe the last thing that jrib told you to type was "cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf{,.backup}", and it doesn't sound like you typed *that*
[13:55] <webfarmer> no he said type in backup and it told me to go get openafs because I couldn't use the word backup
[13:55] <webfarmer> must I get out of this crap
[13:55] <LjL> he didn't tell you to type "backup"
[13:55] <LjL> he told you *to backup*
[13:56] <LjL> and that's done with the "cp" command that i just reported again
[13:56] <cyber_brain_mfkg> someone is good with matlab?
[13:56] <LjL> !someone
[13:56] <LjL> does matlab even run on Ubuntu?
[13:56] <webfarmer> okay well I did that now what?
[13:56] <theneb> LjL: Issue solved, it segfaulted on 32 bit. Put memory in the second slot of the mobo and it's fine
[13:56] <cyber_brain_mfkg> LjL yes
[13:56] <cyber_brain_mfkg> !!!
[13:56] <webfarmer> :)
[13:57] <LjL> webfarmer: well, now, i believe you were told to modify xorg.conf so that it would use the "nv" driver... although i don't personally believe that's the problem, honestly
[13:57] <webfarmer> restart?
[13:58] <LjL> theneb: ah, well, i'd run a memtest (you can run it straight from the CD, i think) anyway to be sure that RAM stick is actually alright
[13:58] <LjL> webfarmer: try typing "apt-get dist-upgrade" and tell me what it says (use the pastebin if it doesn't fit in one line)
[13:58] <kebomix> i need mac osx icons  , any body have them ?

[14:10] <anandology> ushimitsudoki: Yes. I am following steps from this: http://www.linuxtoys.org/multiseat/multiseat.html
[14:10] <LjL> webfarmer: hit ctrl+c and start from scratch
[14:10] <iplaythisgame> i had a hard time getting a two card setup going, and they were both nvidia, good luck
[14:11] <ushimitsudoki> anandology: yes i have 3 monitors on 2 nvidia cards, but i'm not going to touch ati/nvidia mixed
[14:11] <webfarmer> okay done
[14:11] <webfarmer> I created newuser
[14:11] <webfarmer> now what
[14:12] <anandology> ushimitsudoki: I don't think that is the issue. some how keyboard input is blocked
[14:12] <webfarmer> it'
[14:12] <webfarmer> it's back at root
[14:12] <afeijo> hi group!!!
[14:12] <afeijo> lots of ppl :)
[14:12] <anandology> ushimitsudoki: If I kill the second one then keyboard gets control for a short while
[14:12] <LjL> webfarmer: when you boot, do you see a login screen at all? or doesn't it even let you enter your username?
[14:13] <malibu> ubuntu sux.. ok no it doesn't, I love it but I'm frustrated with it right now
[14:13] <afeijo> I need a smtp server, I installed POSTFIX, but it is not working.  I need to do something aditional?
[14:13] <impje> ushimitsudoki: How about an nvidia card with QXGA resolution (2048 x 1536) that works under linux?
[14:13] <pihhan> afeijo: you have to configure it i think
[14:13] <afeijo> pihhan: do you know the command or it have a webadmin?
[14:13] <NicEXE> I have just installed XAMPP on Ubuntu. I used the "/opt/lampp/lampp security" command to change several security settings
[14:13] <webfarmer> LjL doesn't even get to the login
[14:13] <malibu> I"m trying to burn a DAR archive file to DVD... But I'm getting errors from growisofs that I can't burn a file > 4GB
[14:13] <ushimitsudoki> impje: I already said the 8800GT series supports that resoultion and it works fine in linux. I would assume that particular resolution would work under ubuntu like any other supported resoultion
[14:14] <NicEXE> the problem is that i can not goto localhost anymore. It prompt me for a username and password
[14:14] <malibu> Even k3b gives me this error
[14:14] <anandology> It is possible to setup mutlihead without installing any additional software? I am using Ubuntu 7.04
[14:14] <webfarmer> it loops the reload and all I hear is that default drum that ubuntu has
[14:14] <NicEXE> I set the password but what is the username?
[14:14] <pihhan> afeijo: you can try sudo dpkg-reconfigure postfix. i never tried postfix, i use exim4, which is debian default
[14:14] <malibu> How do I get around this??
[14:14] <LjL> acp_: i don't believe so (there are some syncing applications, but not plain file transfer as far as i'm aware)... if the phone has a memory card, then you can connect it in Data Transfer mode, and transfer from/to the memory card
[14:14] <webfarmer> yea I don't even get to that login screen
[14:14] <airtonix> !who
[14:14] <airtonix> !tab
[14:15] <afeijo> pihhan: I'm just trying to configure a simple email server to internal use, small cia. I'm trying with Postfix and Courier, do you recomend something diferent?
[14:15] <notwist> anyone know why my verlihub is listening on 0.0.0.0:411? I never got an option to config what ip to listen to and i cant google up anything
[14:15] <afeijo> pihhan: under 10 users
[14:15] <indomiti> How can i start the same partitioning tool that was used while i installed ubuntu from the alternate CD?
[14:15] <pihhan> afeijo: i recommend anything you are familiar with and able to configure properly
[14:16] <LjL> indomiti: i don't know, but that tools, as far as i know, is a slightly modified version of GPartEd...
[14:16] <indomiti> i want to create a new encrypted drive and add it to the lvm group...
[14:16] <LjL> !gparted > indomiti    (indomiti, see the private message from Ubotu)
[14:16] <indomiti> ok
[14:16] <malibu> No one knows how to write a big file to DVD?
[14:16] <notwist> when i do netstat -tnlp a lot of stuff are listening on local adress "0.0.0.0" like port 80 (apache i suppose) and 411 (my dc hub). where do they get this info? how can i change it?
[14:17] <pihhan> malibu: k3b should work, try to configure it before using it. it has somewhere admin configuration
[14:17] <webfarmer> does anyone know why when I did the upgrade from this distribution and restarted why it now doen't even get to the login screen. It keeps looping and looping and playing the drum audio file...
[14:17] <webfarmer> anyone?
[14:17] <LjL> notwist: i didn't get you, what do you want to change?
[14:17] <kebomix> how  can i protect my self from any one who spoof on my msn and yahoo chats and websites that i visit ?
[14:17] <jrib> webfarmer: it plays the drum sound multiple times?
[14:17] <kebomix> spoof from my network
[14:18] <malibu> pihhan: Any configuration I should be looking at in particular?  It tells me outright that it can't burn a file > 4GB..
[14:18] <pihhan> webfarmer: you have maybe broken xserver driver and it tries forever to initialise X server but fail always
[14:18] <notwist> LjL: well my dc hub isnt responding although its running and i think apache is also running but i get nothing when trying to connect in a browser
[14:18] <ushimitsudoki> malibu: I haven't tried it, but this is specifically addressed here: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-352386.html
[14:18] <notwist> LjL: however ebox works fine on port 666
[14:18] <notwist> LjL: but firewall is set to allow all
[14:18] <acp_> LjL: thanks
[14:19] <pihhan> malibu: don't know, i never had problem with it, or i dont remember it
[14:19] <PerfectExodus> Morning! Any reason why a fresh install would run slower than the previous? (Overall... I understand there can be many variables)
[14:19] <notwist> LjL: so im wondering if this listening on "0.0.0.0" has anything to do with it. sounds weird.
[14:19] <kebomix> any body here know how to protect from any one of my network users who spoof on my yahoo and msn chat ?
[14:19] <SiDi> PerfectExodus, install the SP2 (j/k)
[14:19] <gane> how to find my subnet
[14:19] <NicEXE> is there any good ftp server to install on Ubuntu?
[14:19] <SiDi> A few updates, including kernel update or better driver support, could make it smoother, maybe.
[14:20] <LjL> notwist: well, i'm not really sure, but i think 0.0.0.0 means "any network interface", and is rendered as "*" when not using -n mode...
[14:20] <LjL> !ftpd > NicEXE    (NicEXE, see the private message from Ubotu)
[14:20] <jim_p-lunch> brb
[14:20] <SiDi> LjL, thats 255.255.255.255 imo
[14:20] <airtonix> !who
[14:20] <pihhan> kebomix: what do you mean by "who spoof on my yahoo chat?" like they are connecting into network with your account instead of you?
[14:20] <webfarmer> jrib yea
[14:20] <notwist> LjL: oh. how stupid of me. any idea why its not responding then? when i run netstat i see that its listening, both 80 and 411 (the dc hub) but non of them respond
[14:20] <malibu> ushimitsudoki: Right.. I have read this post.  I just realized the post has mkisofs and I was using growisofs.. I'll give this a try...
[14:20] <jrib> webfarmer: can you get to a tty with ctrl-alt-f1?
[14:21] <webfarmer> NiceEXE go download filezilla!
[14:21] <kebomix> no , i mean there is programs that help them to spoof me , and see my chats on msn or yahoo , mean see what i write and recieve
[14:21] <webfarmer> yes
[14:21] <webfarmer> jrib
[14:21] <webfarmer> I press it and it gets to the login in the background
[14:21] <webfarmer> sounds like it's still trying to load the os
[14:21] <evocallaghan> Hello
[14:21] <pihhan> kebomix: that is because msn or yahoo dont help keep your privacy well. get jabber/xmpp account with ssl encryption
[14:22] <webfarmer> I can log into root
[14:22] <evocallaghan> What is the LiveCD compressed with ? bzip, gunzip, LZMA ?
[14:22] <webfarmer> or my user account
[14:22] <kebomix> ok
[14:22] <jrib> webfarmer: log in as your user.  Try to keep what you say on a single line please
[14:22] <evocallaghan> jabber +1
[14:23] <pihhan> kebomix: there is nothing you can do about that, if you dont have VPN somewhere and want to tunel all your internet traffic there over encryption channel
[14:23] <webfarmer> jrib okay sorry - I have logged in; sitting on root
[14:23] <webfarmer> sorry - I sitting on my user directory
[14:23] <kebomix> aha , thx :D
[14:23] <malibu> ushimitsudoki: Right.. I don't like this solution because it requieres me to make an image to disk before burning... This is too clumsy.... DAR already requires a file to disk so that means 4GB * 3 = 12GB to burn a single DVD!  That's just silly
[14:23] <pihhan> kebomix: but problem is, jabber wont allow you to talk directly to you friends using MSN or Yahoo
[14:23] <jrib> webfarmer: sudo apt-get install pastebinit &&  pastebinit -i /var/log/Xorg.0.log && pastebinit -i /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[14:23] <daniel_john> I have  the extra desktop effects enabled.  what is the keyboard command for getting  a 3d cube effetc
[14:24] <evocallaghan> pihhan:Get them to get a jabber account, gtalk is jabber
[14:24] <jrib> !ccsm > daniel_john
[14:24] <notwist> LjL: stupid me. ebox was firewalling internal traffic
[14:24] <ushimitsudoki> malibu: as i said, I haven't tried it, so I can't offer a better option. Seems like a nasty quirk to have lasted so long, though
[14:24] <kebomix> so , wut is do ?!
[14:24] <impje> ushimitsudoki: Sorry I missed your first answer, thanks! I will check out the 8800GT series.
[14:24] <evocallaghan> So, can anyone answer my question?
[14:24] <pihhan> evocallaghan: thanks, i have jabber for years
[14:24] <evocallaghan> What is the LiveCD compressed with ? bzip, gunzip, LZMA ?
[14:24] <malibu> ushimitsudoki: Believe me I have been searching for a couple of hours and there is no reasonable solution to this apparently
[14:25] <daniel_john> jrib I have that but cant see how to make the cube take effect
[14:25] <LjL> notwist, SiDi: i don't know about 255.255.255.255, but google does suggest that -- in the context of netstat at least -- 0.0.0.0 means "listening on all interfaces". in any case, it's possible that, for some reason, the services you have listening will refuse to accept connections from localhost, although that would be somewhat weird...
[14:26] <jrib> daniel_john: if you have enabled the cube in ccsm and are using the "custom" setting for visual effects, then I believe you ctrl-alt-<drag mouse>
[14:26] <webfarmer> Jrib k typed that in. what does that do?
[14:26] <LjL> evocallaghan: squashfs i believe, which in turn uses zlib
[14:26] <jrib> webfarmer: it should give you to pastebin url's
[14:26] <gane> how to find my subnet
[14:26] <evocallaghan> LjL:Thank you
[14:26] <SiDi> Ok LjL. Well, 255 is meant to use all ports, while 0 is meant to mean unspecified, from my network teacher :P
[14:26] <malibu>  ..and i'll stand on my soapbox and say... This is an example of why Linux has touble in the mainstream
[14:26] <SiDi> all IP range i meant, *
[14:27] <malibu> SiDi: That's different on each platform.
[14:27] <D_Graham> any1 know if Intrepid is stable enough to use for normal internet usage, my box is basically only used from watching videos, music, and the net
[14:28] <SiDi> Okey malibu
[14:28] <ushimitsudoki> D_Graham: #ubuntu+1 deals with upcoming releases, I bet people there are better to ask
[14:28] <jrib> D_Graham: no, not until it is released
[14:28] <LjL> malibu, do you think other operating systems don't have troubles dealing with files/stuff larger than 4Gb? you know, 4Gb is the maximum you can specify with a 32bit word. that's part of the reason why we're moving to 64bit architectures, you see.
[14:29] <LjL> malibu: as an example, the FAT filesystem can't hold any file larger than 4Gb (or perhaps 2Gb), and a FAT16 partition can't *be* larger than 4Gb to begin with
[14:29] <jrib> webfarmer: so you should tell us the pastebin urls you got
[14:29] <D_Graham> jrib: I know the final release is set for Oct 30, i got it running on my virtual machine
[14:29] <airtonix> kebomix, if your using pidgn to chat via msn and yahoo you & your contacts might consider using the 'off-the-record' plugin to encrypt your chats
[14:29] <malibu> LjL: Perhaps you're right.. I'll have to make a point of attempting this with windows
[14:29] <daedra> hey, what is the command to bring up Network Manager?
[14:29] <daedra> its not on my menu
[14:30] <webfarmer> http://pastebin.com/f78d4df5d
[14:30] <jrib> D_Graham: right.  You shouldn't be depending on it until it is actually released.  It's for anyone who wants to test stuff until then
[14:30] <webfarmer> http://pastebin.com/f6ce2a3fe
[14:30] <LjL> malibu: it's likely (though far from certain) that, if you used the 64bit version of Ubuntu, it would work
[14:30] <Drk_Guy> Hi!
[14:30] <pihhan> D_Graham: no, it is not yet :)
[14:30] <malibu> LjL: Do I have to have a 64 bit machine for that?
[14:30] <Drk_Guy> How can i recover an erased file off my ext3 pat.?
[14:30] <LjL> malibu: yep
[14:31] <Drk_Guy> *part.
[14:31] <LjL> Drk_Guy: odds are that you can't
[14:31] <LjL> !recover > Drk_Guy    (Drk_Guy, see the private message from Ubotu)
[14:31] <Drk_Guy> No commercial solution pls
[14:31] <SiDi> LjL, malibu, what's not working exactly and that would work with a 64b architecture ?
[14:31] <jrib> webfarmer: you have an intel card  being used, not nvidia
[14:31] <ushimitsudoki> malibu: i'm on 64 bit, let me see if i can find a big file and try to burn it :)
[14:32] <malibu> SiDi: I'm trying to burn a 4.2 Gb file to DVD
[14:32] <airtonix> !pidgin-otr | kebomix
[14:32] <LjL> SiDi: if i understand this correctly, he can't burn >4Gb files on DVD without going through an temperary ISO image, which he doesn't want
[14:32] <SiDi> From Ext3 you can manage 4+ gb files, from NTFS too, afaik.
[14:32] <webfarmer> jrib woops
[14:32] <malibu> ushimitsudoki: That's beside the point anyway.  Filesystems should not be bound to the native architecture of the machine.  That's why we have developers
[14:32] <jrib> webfarmer: pastebin the output of 'lspci'
[14:32] <LjL> SiDi: yeah but there's possibly some other link in the chain that's limited to 32bit...
[14:32] <webfarmer> jrib okay so what do I do
[14:32] <webfarmer> it's still looping
[14:33] <SiDi> LjL, malibu, i never had trouble managing 4+gb files from ext3... even if it of course wont work from FAT32
[14:33] <SiDi> LjL, that's a weird thing ;P all i can say
[14:33] <jamiejackson> heretofore, i've been putting my laundry list (dozens) of network (smb/ssh) mounts in fstab. thing is, i only need a few of them at a time, and since a recent upgrade, i've been getting cifs errors, etc., on shutdown, and slow boots, etc. i'm wondering if there are apps that allow the easy picking and choosing of a list of "favorite" mounts, so i can simply mount the ones i need. please advise?
[14:33] <airtonix> evocallaghan, kebomix, easier said than done....best comprimise is to get them at least to install otr plugin for their chat prog
[14:33] <webfarmer> how do I do that on a terminal screen
[14:33] <malibu> SiDi: Listen, I made this file with DAR and I want to write it to DVD
[14:33] <airtonix> kebomix, sudo apt-get install pidgin-otr
[14:34] <porcodildo> hi is it possible to remove an usb modules also if it says "module is in use"?
[14:34] <kebomix> ok
[14:34] <luca_work> hello
[14:34] <malibu> SiDi: I'm technically competant.. It shouldn't be this difficult
[14:34] <kebomix> i already have pidgin
[14:34] <webfarmer> jrib o I do that on a terminal screen
[14:34] <kebomix> thx :D
[14:34] <airtonix> !info pidgin-otr
[14:34] <webfarmer> jrib how do I do that on a terminal screen?
[14:34] <zimbres> Is there a command i could use to change my default display manager
[14:34] <zimbres> ?
[14:35] <kebomix> this error "Error Reading blist.xml" appear to me when i open pidgin
[14:35] <SiDi> malibu, i just don't know... never had such a problem :p
[14:35] <jrib> webfarmer: lspci > somefile && pastebinit -i somefile
[14:35] <SiDi> malibu, tho i agree that it shouldn't be difficult
[14:35] <LjL> malibu, SiDi: this kernel ML thread ( http://ussg.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0603.3/2134.html ) seems to suggest that the limitation is in the ISO9660 filesystem itself that CDs and DVDs use... it also suggests workarounds but they aren't that clear to me
[14:35] <jrib> webfarmer: somefile will be overwritten
[14:35] <jamiejackson> kebomix: there's #pidgin, you know
[14:36] <kebomix> yeah . i know it
[14:36] <malibu> LjL: I think nero can get around it somehow
[14:36] <benkaj> n
[14:36] <SiDi> LjL, malibu yet i already found some 6/7 gb ISO files
[14:36] <SiDi> LjL, malibu i even made some... and it was ok
[14:36] <LjL> SiDi: but this is not about the size of the ISO file, but the size of the files it *contains*
[14:37] <webfarmer> http://pastebin.com/f1f579ff1
[14:37] <LjL> malibu: quite likely, but you're saying that mkisofs can get around it too, aren't you?
[14:37] <r_rehashed> hi all. i just updated to the latest firefox in hardy and now firefox is broken. it starts and runs but the library, add-ons, etc. windows are broken
[14:37] <luca_work> I'm using ubutu server, and I wonder what's the best way to be stay updated... In Debian I've used cron-apt, should I use it in Ubuntu too?
[14:37] <[[thufir]]> all of a sudden, netbeans silently crashes once it loads. I goto click on something, bang, it's gond.
[14:37] <r_rehashed> how do i revert to the previous version?
[14:37] <[[thufir]]> how do I figure out why netbeans is crashing?
[14:38] <malibu> LjL: I have a post indicating that mkisofs can get around it, but you have to write an intermediate image to disk
[14:38] <[[thufir]]> woops, sorry to spam.  it's early in the am for me :)
[14:38] <LjL> malibu: can you give me the link? i'm not sure why you'd need to write the intermediate image
[14:38] <SiDi> LJL i see what you mean. might be interesting to do some tests

[14:39] <TheBase> hello
[14:39] <webfarmer> jrib: http://pastebin.com/f1f579ff1
[14:39] <malibu> LjL: the steps indicate to make an iso with mkisofs and then burn with cdrecord
[14:40] <perlsyntax> anyone know how to ungunzip a gz file?
[14:40] <LjL> malibu: yes, but i don't see a reason why you should actually make an image instead of just piping the output
[14:41] <perlsyntax> hello
[14:41] <LjL> malibu: see http://tldp.org/HOWTO/CD-Writing-HOWTO-3.html#ss3.1 on how to pipe the output of mkisofs directly into cdrecord (although it might be a bit outdated, anyway the basic concept is simply mkisofs | wodim...)
[14:41] <malibu> LjL: If you know how that might work could you give me an example and I'll try it?  I'm not familiar enough with mkisofs
[14:41] <webfarmer> jrib: u there?
[14:42] <PerfectExodus> In irssi, what does "your forward and reverse DNS don't match" mean?
[14:42] <LjL> malibu: "man wodim" also gives this example: genisoimage -R /master/tree | wodim -v fs=6m speed=2 dev=2,0 -
[14:43] <SiDi> perlsyntax, "gzip -d"
[14:43] <LjL> malibu: it uses genisoimage, but i believe the command line options for it are compatible with mkisofs's
[14:43] <perlsyntax> does anyone know anything about gunzip?
[14:43] <perlsyntax> thanks
[14:43] <mgolisch> PerfectExodus: thats mostlikely a message send from the irc server
[14:43] <SiDi> perlsyntax, np :)

[14:43] <zimbres> Is there a command i could use to change my default display manager?
[14:43] <TheBase> I'm trying to install gitk or git-gui but there is only the git-core listed in the synaptic. I found this page (http://packages.ubuntu.com/feisty-backports/devel/gitk) which looks like a repository. I tried to download and install the .deb file but it says I need to install a dependency which is installed with synaptic. Is there a way to use this feisty-backports repository with synaptic? Will that be safe?
[14:43] <PerfectExodus> mgolisch: Agreed, im having connection problems...
[14:43] <jrib> webfarmer: run that last command
[14:44] <LjL> malibu: so just add that "-allow-limited-size" option, change things to suit your burn, and you should make it...
[14:44] <dsl_man> hey ubuntu
[14:44] <malibu> LjL: right, trying it now
[14:44] <TheBase> zimbres, usually you could just type the display manager in the console and it would change but I think the best thing is to download a tool
[14:45] <dsl_man> pstricks / beamer / latex  any known problems?
[14:45] <afeijo> pihhan: the problem is, I'm not familiar to anything.  We today use windows email server with Smartermail, its our first linux server for that mission
[14:45] <dsl_man> current hardy
[14:45] <jrib> webfarmer: I don't really see anything wrong in the log though.  So if that doesn't work, just restate your problem and include those pastebins.  You could try booting the older kernel too
[14:45] <webfarmer> jrib: I'm hanging here my friend - I don't know what to do
[14:45] <zimbres> TheBase, do you mean to run a script of the init.d directory?
[14:45] <jrib> webfarmer: did you run the command ubottu said?
[14:45] <march> Hi :) Does anyone know whom I can contact at canonical to get COF pics in good quality for our wiki?
[14:46] <LjL> malibu: one word of warning... i can't say for sure, but there's *probably* a reason why that option is not used by default. so it's quite possible that even when it's enabled, other OS's (maybe Windows, maybe Mac OS, maybe DVD players, i don't know) won't be able to read the big file -- or the entire DVD -- anyway
[14:46] <[[thufir]]> how do I clear my apt-cache and then bring it up date?
[14:46] <TheBase> zimbres, no. Usually there is a binary with the manager name
[14:46] <jrib> webfarmer: I have to go now
[14:46] <LjL> [[thufir]]: why would you clear it?
[14:46] <malibu> LjL: Thanks for the warning.. Yeah I was thinking the same.  But I'll be ok because I'm sticking with Ubuntu forever.  Especially if this works!  :-)
[14:47] <webfarmer> hello? I think my internet has frozen
[14:47] <pihhan> afeijo: then get familiar with config files. if you really need mail, you wont get far with some click&point tools prepared
[14:47] <Fuse_> Hello! I don't think so?
[14:47] <malibu> LjL: Will be a couple minutes for me to set this up, I deleted my big files and have to recreate.  :-p
[14:47] <NicEXE> I have just installed XAMPP on Ubuntu. How can I creeate an accound for proftpd with username and password?
[14:48] <LjL> malibu: right, see what "man genisoimage" has to say: « -allow-limited-size:  When processing files larger than 2GiB which cannot be easily represented in ISO9660, add them with a shrunk visible file size to ISO9660  and  with  the correct  visible  file  size to the UDF system. The result is an inconsistent filesystem and users need to make sure that they really use UDF rather than ISO9660 driver to read a such disk. Implies enabling -udf. »
[14:48] <afeijo> pihhan: ok, man postfix will give me intel right?
[14:48] <pihhan> afeijo: but i have all mailservers on debian, i dont know how they are different against ubuntu
[14:48] <[[thufir]]> LjL: I want to update it, really.
[14:48] <Drk_Guy> LjL, thx, but is too complex, i'll just replay those lvls ;)
[14:48] <LjL> [[thufir]]: sudo apt-get update
[14:48] <freedumMan> ive setup my machine so i can restart my apache without the root password using visudo....%jason ALL=/opt/lampp/lampp restart ....etc but it keeps asking me for sudo password?
[14:48] <[[thufir]]> LjL:  thanks
[14:48] <LjL> malibu: so basically it would seem that any OS that doesn't really speak UDF, and instead treats the disc as ISO9660, will choke on the file
[14:48] <freedumMan> anyone have experience with sudoers?
[14:48] <keystr0k> !tab
[14:49] <pihhan> freedumMan: you have prefix command with NOPASSWD: , dont remember exactly, see sudoers man page
[14:49] <malibu> LjL: Ok well I'll have a look but I'm not sure if I'll be able to digest/make use of the information in a reasonable amount of time
[14:49] <Drk_Guy> !gujin
[14:49] <freedumMan> pihhan, opps sorry i did do that i should've pasted but still not working %jason  ALL=NOPASSWD: /opt/lampp/lampp restart
[14:49] <vampirefrog> hiya. how do I get the very latest packages? for example blender is one version behind
[14:50] <bastid_raZor> freedumMan; razor ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:/usr/bin/aptitude
[14:50] <vampirefrog> i have 8.04 afaik
[14:50] <bastid_raZor> freedumMan; use that format
[14:50] <unop> freedumMan,  omit the restart argument there
[14:50] <jmota> hi all
[14:50] <webfarmer> jrib: -bash: !xconfig: event not found
[14:50] <jmota> ﻿﻿can anyone tell me why the icons in the top pannel(date, end session, sound...) sometimes get out of the place when i iniciate ubuntu?
[14:51] <jrib> webfarmer: read what the bot actually said
[14:51] <[[thufir]]> how do I view whichever log which would explain why netbeans crashed?
[14:51] <webfarmer> what command? jrib
[14:51] <gangsterlicious> how do i make it not eject the cd after installation? the server is in colo
[14:52] <freedumMan> bastid_raZor, yea still asking me ? weird
[14:52] <webfarmer> what - this internet is so slow it freezes
[14:52] <[[thufir]]> webfarmer: jrib?  unknown command...?
[14:52] <freedumMan> unop, tried that too
[14:52] <soundray> jmota: it happens when you switch resolutions. I managed to improve the problem a bit by making all applets unlocked and arraning them with a bit of space in between.
[14:52] <bastid_raZor> freedumMan; you have to start a new session in terminal.. close terminal then open another.
[14:53] <unop> freedumMan, you still have to use the NOPASSWD directive like bastid_raZor said
[14:53] <unop> freedumMan, if it's still not working, show us the line you have now.
[14:53] <freedumMan> bastid_raZor, ahhh thanks
[14:53] <soundray> jmota: there's probably a bug report, and if so, it's likely to contain further hints -- have a look on launchpad
[14:53] <tmapj> can anyone tell me how to monitor if someone else is using my wifi network?
[14:53] <MrCollins> tmapj check your routers log?
[14:54] <Drk_Guy> Does anyone know if gujin works with Ubuntu?
[14:54] <webfarmer> ubotto what command did you tell me to run
[14:54] <jmota> ﻿soundray: ty i'll try to space them then...but i hadn't change the resolution...
[14:54] <tmapj> mrcollins i cant do that because my router is incompatible with linux
[14:54] <malibu> LjL: If I can write the file to DVD and they md5sum the same, I"ll be happy!
[14:54] <dsl_man> tmapj: packet sniffer like ethereal?
[14:54] <freedumMan> here ive even tried this line too jason ALL=NOPASSWD: ALL.....my last line was   jason  ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /opt/lampp/lampp
[14:55] <unop> !xconfig | webfarmer
[14:55] <Kartagis> can I see my mainboard chipset with lspci?
[14:55] <webfarmer> I've done that unop
[14:55] <tmapj> dsl_man ill try that
[14:55] <unop> webfarmer, restart X, log out and log back in
[14:55] <tmapj> dsl_man what does that do
[14:55] <webfarmer> and it tells me -bash: xconfig: command not found
[14:55] <airtonix> I'm looking for a windows equivilant to jnettop. does anyone know of such a program?
[14:55]  * airtonix cringes
[14:55] <dsl_man> tampj: show all the packets that your network adapter can "see"
[14:55] <webfarmer> and it tells me -bash: webfarmer: command not found
[14:56] <freedumMan> ok its working i had to KILL the terminal which had sudo still lingering
[14:56] <unop> freedumMan,  jason ALL=NOPASSWD: /opt/lampp/lampp

[15:01] <ShortWave> Hi all
[15:01] <ShortWave> I got a weird issue
[15:01] <dsl_man> hang on a sec
[15:02] <legend2440> javierg: do you have libflash support installed?
[15:02] <ShortWave> I cranked up ubuntu server and it read my disk setup one way (I have an SATA drive, then 2 PATA drives), so it laid them out as sda == SATA, sdb/c == PATA
[15:02] <webfarmer> such a mission all of this
[15:02] <webfarmer> macs just work
[15:02] <abe3k> hi guys, Everytime I want to restart ubuntu I have to click on the restart button twice, first click shuts down all applications and nothing happens, second click restarts ubuntu, is there any solution for this ?
[15:02] <ShortWave> I went to switch to ubuntu workstation, and it read it the same way...the FIRST time
[15:02] <malibu> LjL: I'm getting bad option on -allow-limited-size
[15:03] <javierg> legend2440, I did a search for libflash and didn't find anything. Should have I that installed?
[15:03] <ShortWave> The second time I cranked it up, it read it backwards, it made my SATA drive == sdc
[15:03] <ShortWave> For some reason, it's flipping their installation order, even tho GRUB believes that the SATA drive is /dev/sda
[15:03] <legend2440> !info libflashsupport | javierg
[15:04] <ShortWave> but since grub is looking for the root on /dev/sdc...
[15:04] <ShortWave> I'm kinda flummoxed
[15:04] <malibu> Will Nero Linux work on the command line?
[15:04] <IntuitiveNipple> ShortWave: The best way to solve that is to create custom udev rules keyed to the disk serial-numbers
[15:04] <javierg> legend2440, Ok, once its installed do I have to restart anything? Or it should just work?
[15:04] <legend2440> javierg: restart firefox
[15:05] <ShortWave> IntuitiveNipple: I'm guessing this is a common problem?
[15:05] <IntuitiveNipple> ShortWave: or, is it at the BIOS/GRUB stage that it is happening (thus causing boot to fail) ?
[15:05] <PerfectExodus> Is there a better texts based browser other than links?
[15:05] <IntuitiveNipple> ShortWave: not particularly, no :) You're privileged
[15:05] <tmapj> dsl_man by the way msn will also work
[15:05] <ShortWave> IntuitiveNipple: I tried installing with the workstation-chosen layout
[15:05] <webfarmer> please can someone help me
[15:05] <abe3k> Everytime I want to restart ubuntu I have to click on the restart icon twice, first click shuts down all applications and nothing happens, second click restarts ubuntu, is there any solution for this ?
[15:05] <ShortWave> IntuitiveNipple: (sata == sdc)
[15:06] <soundray> webfarmer: I'll try
[15:06] <malibu> Nero Linux only works with Ubuntu 5???
[15:06] <IntuitiveNipple> ShortWave: Does this affect boot? or is this only affecting the booted kernel? If the latter, then udev is the answer
[15:06] <ShortWave> it affects boot
[15:06] <soundray> webfarmer: I understand your X is not starting. The login screen crashes and restarts, creating a loop.
[15:06] <ShortWave> grub won't boot because the layout is as BIOS intended
[15:06] <javierg> Still doesn't work legend2440
[15:06] <dsl_man> tmapj: msn is good
[15:06] <ShortWave> Ubuntu installed grub to believe that root is on /dev/sdc
[15:07] <ShortWave> but it's not at startup
[15:07] <tmapj> im tmapj2@hotmail.com
[15:07] <soundray> webfarmer: how are you logged in at the moment -- text mode?
[15:07] <ShortWave> it's actually on /dev/sda at startup, then it flips
[15:07] <tmapj> what r u?
[15:07] <IntuitiveNipple> ShortWave: *blinks* :)
[15:07] <webfarmer> soundray so what do I do - I don't know unix
[15:07] <webfarmer> I don't know what I am doing
[15:07] <PerfectExodus> ShortWave: That makes no sence...
[15:07] <|messenger|> êó âñåì
[15:07] <soundray> webfarmer: can you answer my question?
[15:07] <tmapj> what is your screenname dsl_man
[15:07] <ShortWave> IntuitiveNipple: yeah well it ain't making sense to me either.
[15:07] <webfarmer> and it's really frustrating
[15:08] <|messenger|> hi all
[15:08] <ShortWave> PerfectExodus: err, yeah, what I said to him.
[15:08] <IntuitiveNipple> ShortWave: Is it bug #8497 ?
[15:08] <ShortWave> him/her/it
[15:08] <ShortWave> Could be
[15:08] <webfarmer> soundray yea
[15:08] <|messenger|> who can help with vpn?
[15:08] <webfarmer> I press control alt and F11 and then get you the terminal as such
[15:08] <ShortWave> but I had no such issues with Fedora, and Fedora put everything in the right place
[15:08] <|messenger|> please talk to me in private thanks
[15:08] <ShortWave> For that matter, so did DSL
[15:09] <kitche> |messenger|: ask the channel since no one will private message you to help you
[15:09] <IntuitiveNipple> ShortWave: take a look at the reports. If it is, add a comment to the bug especially detailing the kernel version since the bug is marked Fix released
[15:09] <|messenger|> ok
[15:09] <webfarmer> I login succeessfully and I'm sitting on my user account "folder" as such
[15:09] <abe3k> Everytime I want to restart ubuntu I have to click on the restart icon twice, first click shuts down all applications and nothing happens, second click restarts ubuntu, is there any solution for this ?
[15:09] <KDB9000> I need some help with wireshark, I installed it using Synaptic but it would crash when I went to capture, so I built the src from the website and now it won't run because of an error with libwiretap. error while loading shared libraries: libwiretap.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory is the error
[15:09] <webfarmer> just like if I accessed terminal when I
[15:09] <webfarmer> I'm in ubuntu
[15:09] <ShortWave> It's seeming to me as if the kernel is misreading the drive setup
[15:09] <ezzzam> hello
[15:09] <legend2440> javierg: open system>preferences>sound   what do you have the dropdown boxes set to?
[15:09] <webfarmer> yea shortwave?
[15:09] <soundray> webfarmer: let's try moving your xorg.conf so it will be recreated: 'sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf-backup', then 'sudo invoke-rc.d gdm restart'
[15:10] <javierg> legend2440, autodetect.
[15:10] <webfarmer> how do I rectofy this
[15:10] <|messenger|> actually pon is working i mean ppp0 is up
[15:10] <legend2440> javierg: try setting them to alsa
[15:10] <|messenger|> but i'm seeing a strange picture.. TX is growing up extremly
[15:10] <soundray> webfarmer: listen to me. ShortWave's message was not for you.
[15:10] <malibu> LjL: THank you for your help but I'm still frustrated with Ubuntu
[15:10] <abe3k> Everytime I want to restart ubuntu I have to click on the restart icon twice, first click shuts down all applications and nothing happens, second click restarts ubuntu, is there any solution for this ?
[15:11] <|messenger|> also i have in plog
[15:11] <xomp> got a friend of my mums who wants XP off her pc and ubuntu installed as she's tired of the viruses she's been getting. Thing is, she uses AOL dial-up and AT&T dial-up to connect to the interbutts. Is it possible to use those providers in a linux environment?
[15:11] <|messenger|> cannot determine proxy ARP
[15:11] <webfarmer> soundray. no it keeps flickering

[15:16] <abe3k> Everytime I want to restart ubuntu I have to click on the restart icon twice, first click shuts down all applications and nothing happens, second click restarts ubuntu, is there any solution for this ?
[15:16] <webfarmer> oh man I have so much work to do - I really need help :(
[15:16] <soundray> webfarmer: try 'X' (only the capital X, on a line by itself). See if you can make sense of the messages it displays.
[15:16] <soundray> webfarmer: I'll be back soon
[15:17] <frostburn> abe3k, you have an application open that's asking if you want to save content, like a text editor
[15:17] <webfarmer> it doesn't bring up any messages?
[15:17] <webfarmer> it just brings up this desktop with a big X as my mouse cursor
[15:17] <churnd> abe3k: it sounds like the shutdown is hanging
[15:18] <|messenger|> so, the problem is: pptp is up. in ppp0 interface TX (transfer packets) is extremly growing up (the megabytes per minute) also in PLOG i see "cannot determine ethernet address for proxy arp" as effect i cannot resolve any request
[15:18] <churnd> abe3k: what happens when you do "sudo reboot" in the terminal?
[15:18] <jamiejackson> when i shutdown these days, i have a bunch of cifs errors from network mounts, and during mounting, i get warnings. this style of mounting in fstab used to be error free. i think i need to modify it for newer kernels/hardy. could you tell me what the modern version of the following is?
[15:18] <xomp> IdleOne, that link does not state whether or not AOL can be used with linux
[15:18] <jamiejackson> wait, i'd better make sure i've got one that's causing errrors, brb

[15:22] <LjL> al1_: try #winehq, as Wine-specific problems are usually pretty, well, specific. they might ask you to install the latest version of Wine (type /msg ubottu wine to find out how, it can be installed from a decent repository)

 : logout is fine its only the reboot I don't know why, I will try it with a different user pls wait.
[15:22] <xomp> IdleOne, when you connect to the internet using AOL, you aren't connecting to the internet. You are connecting to AOL lol. I'm pretty sure this is why it is required to have the AOL software installed on windows systems :/

[15:24] <webfarmer> I type x and then I get this screen with the X as my cursor right. but when I try and start up ubuntu what happens before I even get to the login screen is it keeps looping back to the starting point. I can hear the login announcing audio play. - so that audio keeps looping as the login starts looping. I have no idea what to do - I've pressed control alt and f11 and tried to backup my xconfig / or move it as such but it still doesn't work
[15:24] <phdmybest> how could i test the speed of a tmpfs ramdisk? anybody could help?
[15:24] <churnd> abe3k:  I understand... I'm ruling out whether or not is has to do with your user account specifically.
[15:24] <JohnMccayne> can't find my s-ata disk(samsung HD501LJ) while trying to install ubuntu 8.04, got jmicron on MSI P965 NEO-F, anyone got a solution? i get Revalidation failed (errno=-5) while it's loading too
[15:25] <webfarmer> can someone please help me
[15:25] <IdleOne> xomp: but that link should help you once you have the numbers
[15:25] <Brucee> how do i run xchat on ubuntu hardy 8.04?
[15:26] <Brucee> never mind
[15:26] <webfarmer> sudo apt-get install xchat
[15:26] <jamix> sudo apt-get install xchat
[15:26] <xomp> IdleOne, ok, thanks, I'll give it the old college try :)
[15:26] <xomp> Brucee, Applications > Internet > XChat
[15:26] <bazhang> webfarmer, you on live cd now?
[15:27] <Brucee> i dont see it there thoe
[15:27] <webfarmer> bazhang no
[15:27] <webfarmer> I've had ubuntu running for 3 months already
[15:27] <xomp> Brucee, then you should have asked how to install XChat on ubuntu :P
[15:27] <bazhang> webfarmer, did you remove splash and quiet from kernel you are booting from?
[15:27] <webfarmer> Brucee sudo apt-cache search xchat
[15:27] <xomp> Brucee, in terminal "sudo apt-get install xchat" should install it for you, then just locate it in Applications > Internet > Xchat after
[15:27] <Brucee> altho i can run when i open it in alt+f2 then i type xchat , and it runs
[15:28] <webfarmer> how do I deactivate anything to do with compiz
[15:28] <Brucee> but i want a link where i can just click on it
[15:28] <Jason2gs`School> Hi guys =] I was hoping someone could help me get a webcam working. This page: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCamerasLogitech Says that the Logitech QuickCam Chat works OOTB on Ubuntu 7.10. What exactly does that mean?
[15:28] <webfarmer> what?
[15:28] <webfarmer> bazhang what? how do I do that
[15:28] <bazhang> set effects to none webfarmer in appearances
[15:28] <Al1_> #WineHQ is empty :(
[15:28] <xomp> Brucee, right click on "Applications" then choose "Edit Menu"
[15:28] <LjL> is there any program specifically for scanning film, aside from VueScan? (i guess there is none in the repositories, but at this point, even tarball would be fine). possibly with remote SANE support...
[15:28] <Jason2gs`School> Now, I can open up the /dev/video0 stream in VLC, and it works, but the video picture is about the size of the tip of your thumb, and of very poor quality.
[15:28] <webfarmer> Brucee - use terminal and get used to it - it's far easier to work with - however why don't you just click on the little start icon and click add remove application - then search for xchat
[15:29] <LjL> Al1_: no, there's 175 people in there
 : the new user restarts fine
[15:29] <JohnMccayne> can't find my s-ata disk(samsung HD501LJ) while trying to install ubuntu 8.04, got jmicron on MSI P965 NEO-F, anyone got a solution? i get Revalidation failed (errno=-5) while it's loading too
[15:29] <Archon> would it be safe to set my hardy sources to intrepid in order to download tomcat6 (only available after intrepid)?
[15:29] <ikonia> Archon: no
[15:29] <webfarmer> bazhang - dude I don't know if you even bothered reading my message -but I CAN'T GET INTO MY DESKTOP EVEN!
[15:29] <xomp> Brucee, then click on "Internet" in the left-pane and click "New Item"
[15:29] <ikonia> Archon: that would be very bad
[15:29] <bazhang> webfarmer, when you boot you get the grub countdown right?
[15:30] <webfarmer> yea
[15:30] <bazhang> webfarmer, you need to esc and get into the grub menu, then hit 'e' to edit the kernel (parameter) you are booting
[15:30] <LjL> Archon: try requesting a backport instead
[15:30] <LjL> !backports  Archon
[15:30] <xomp> Brucee, in "Name" type "XChat" and in "Command" type "xchat" then hit "OK", close out and then look in your "Applications" > "Internet" > "Xchat" should be there
[15:30] <LjL> !backports > Archon    (Archon, see the private message from Ubotu)
[15:30] <webfarmer> grub menu?
[15:30] <bazhang> webfarmer, at the end of the list should be quiet and splash.
[15:30] <spiritssight> My flash drive is in read only mode how do I change this
[15:30] <webfarmer> I press escape and boot from recovery
[15:30] <webfarmer> I then go to root
[15:31] <LjL> spiritssight: sudo mount /mount/point -o remount,rw
[15:31] <bazhang> remove them, then boot off that kernel webfarmer and read what errors there are as it boots
[15:31] <jamix> ok?
 : the new user restarts fine
[15:32] <churnd> abe3k: ok so it's specific to your profile
[15:32] <webfarmer> bazhang... I reboot - press escape... boot from recovery...
[15:32] <webfarmer> get a blue, grey, red screen right
[15:32] <webfarmer> go to boot from root?
 : yes
[15:32] <bazhang> webfarmer, if you boot the regular kernel you can read the error messages then we will know what is up (ie not in recovery mode)
[15:33] <churnd> abe3k: how big of a deal would it be to reset your profile?
[15:33] <spiritssight> LjL: will this be like that now on or do I have to change it every time
[15:33] <abe3k> churnd: Big
[15:33] <abe3k> churnd : xD
[15:33] <LjL> spiritssight: will probably have to change it every time. i don't know why it's happening in the first place. but did it work, for a start?
[15:34] <spiritssight> LjL: yes it worked, I will know for sure in one sec
[15:34] <Adam434> Hello , i got new laptop "Gigabyte w566n" & i installed Ubuntu 8.04 hardy (64 bit) , it seems that Ubuntu not recognize my wireless card ?

[15:35] <eaxexex> Hi :) I just upgraded to Ubuntu 8.04 from 7.04. But now I've got no wired or wireless internet :S It's an Acer TravelMate 4310.. Any help?
[15:35] <soundray> webfarmer: back.
[15:35] <churnd> abe3k: you know in your home directory, there's a bunch of hidden folders like .nautilus, .gtk*, .gnome, .gnome2, right?
[15:35] <soundray> webfarmer: have you got anywhere yet?
 : yes
[15:35] <iplaythisgame> webfarmer, take alook here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=681048
[15:35] <churnd> abe3k:  i know the setting is in one of those somewhere
 : settings for what ?
[15:36] <spiritssight> LjL: when I try to copy file it says its read-only
[15:36] <emica> quelqu'un en francais?
[15:36] <Ooble> 'Lo all.
[15:36] <LjL> !fr | emica
[15:36] <churnd> abe3k:  for how the restart button behaves
[15:36] <bazhang> emica, /join #ubuntu-fr
 : aha
[15:36] <LjL> spiritssight: did you mount it manually, or did you let Ubuntu mount it for you?
[15:36] <soundray> webfarmer: your problem is not compiz
[15:36] <emica> thanx mec
[15:36] <iplaythisgame> webfarmer, sorry wrong one  try here http://forum.compiz-fusion.org/showthread.php?t=3599
 : I'll digg that up :)
 thanks for the hint :)
[15:36] <webfarmer> soundray you back?
[15:37] <eaxexex> Hi :) I just upgraded to Ubuntu 8.04 from 7.04. But now I've got no wired or wireless internet :S It's an Acer TravelMate 4310.. Any help? The cable is plugged In but I haven't got an IP nor am I able to ping anything.. I can see it's connected though..
[15:37] <soundray> webfarmer: apparently
[15:37] <Ooble> Is there any way to find out what package a file/directory came from?
[15:37] <Archon> thanks LjL
[15:37] <lucax> where can i find some good wiki on what i need to start on boot and what dont have to, i want to accelerate boot times...
[15:37] <webfarmer> soundray nice
[15:37] <churnd> abe3k:  basically, the entire look and feel of your desktop environment is contained throughout those folders
[15:37] <soundray> Ooble: dpkg -S filename
[15:37] <bazhang> eaxexex, how many entries when you type ifconfig in terminal
[15:37] <Ooble> That was easy - thanks soundray.
[15:37] <eaxexex> bazhang: 5?
 cool
[15:37] <bazhang> eaxexex, is eth0 one of them
[15:38] <eaxexex> bazhang: Yes
 I'll do a text search for restart and reboot in those hidden folders
[15:38] <churnd> abe3k:  so my feeling is either a program specific to your session is hanging or there's a messed up setting
[15:38] <soundray> bazhang: what kernel option did you want webfarmer to try?
[15:38] <bazhang> eaxexex, directly to dsl modem or to a router
[15:38] <spiritssight> LjL: I let Ubuntu mount it
[15:38] <eaxexex> bazhang: Through a router
[15:38] <bastid_raZor> abe3k; possibly look around in gconf-editor
[15:38] <bazhang> soundray, thought he should remove quiet and splash
[15:38] <comicinker> lucax: how would a wiki know what someone needs or not?
[15:38] <LjL> spiritssight: can you copy files to it if you do it from root (i.e. "sudo cp ...")
 yeah forgot about that
[15:38] <churnd> bastid_raZor: that's a good idea
[15:39] <bazhang> eaxexex, what does sudo dhclient eth0 return (-->paste.ubuntu.com)
[15:39] <soundray> bazhang: I think it's a gdm problem...
[15:39] <bazhang> soundray, aha
[15:39] <soundray> webfarmer: could you just try a 'sudo apt-get --reinstall install gdm'
[15:39] <eaxexex> bazhang: I can't paste it :S But: sp,e errors about interface flags ..
 I'm getting things like restore restrain but no restart ><
[15:40] <lucax> comicinker: easy, telling what every thing do
[15:40] <churnd> abe3k: how are you searching?
[15:40] <eaxexex> bazhang: Just the "No such device" 5 times..
 ctrl+f
[15:40] <bazhang> eaxexex, please pastebin ifconfig out put to paste.ubuntu.com and give us the url
[15:40] <webfarmer> soundray why is did this mess out?
[15:41] <churnd> abe3k: try gconf-editor (run from terminal or "Run Command"
[15:41] <eaxexex> bazhang: It's gonna take about 5 minutes but okay, thanks :)
 I'm already in it
 I did the searching from there
[15:42] <soundray> webfarmer: pardon?
[15:42] <Hrvatski1> how can i convert FLAC to Mp3?
[15:42] <spiritssight> LjL: it says read-only file system when I try to copy using sudo cp ...
 I'll have to logout now sorry :(, but thanks for your interest :)
[15:43] <soundray> Hrvatski1: convert to .wav first, then encode with lame or any other encoder
[15:43] <LjL> Hrvatski1: well, i'd suggest you convert to Ogg Vorbis instead... but anyway, "flac -d input.flac - | your-mp3-or-vorbis-encoder"
[15:43] <LjL> soundray: no need to convert to .wav
[15:43] <soundray> Hrvatski1: LjL is right, sry
[15:43] <Hrvatski1> what encoder should i use?
[15:43] <soundray> Hrvatski1: lame
[15:44] <comicinker> lucax: I've uninstalled gdm, bluetooth stuff, and other things which were shown up in some logs. however, these actions can (will) destroy your working system and configs. Maybe you should look at your logs and read about every element which is loaded during the boot progress
[15:44] <Hrvatski1> can i get it in the package manager?
[15:44] <LjL> Hrvatski1: i'd use "oggenc" and save to Vorbis.
[15:44] <Hrvatski1> ok, can i get those in teh package manager?
[15:44] <LjL> Hrvatski1: yes, of course.
[15:44] <Ooble> OK, another question. possibly even simpler: is there any way to resolve all symlinks in a path so I get the real path?
[15:44] <soundray> Hrvatski1: again, LjL is right -- just make sure your target player understands ogg vorbis
[15:44] <LjL> !info lame > Hrvatski1
[15:44] <spiritssight> LjL: did you get my response
[15:45] <urthmover> Hrvatski is a badass....I will always love the track Gotham
[15:45] <webfarmer> soundray before I hit install was I supposed to stop the gnome engine
[15:45] <soundray> webfarmer: no
[15:45] <Hrvatski1> thanks guys
[15:45] <LjL> spiritssight: no, i had missed it, but i don't really know what the issue might be... stupid question perhaps, but if it's an SD card, perhaps it's actually physically *set* to read-only...?
[15:45] <webfarmer> I pressed X and it took me to a screen  that what black and white, and had a X as a cursor but that's all
[15:45] <DrBytes> Hi, I'm on my developement machine and I want to run the latest iberia relaease, can someone point me to the web/wiki uri explaining how to get there by apt-getting?
[15:46] <soundray> webfarmer: hit Ctrl-Alt-Backspace on that.
[15:46] <soundray> webfarmer: then run the reinstall command I gave you above
[15:46] <webfarmer> okay I tried to do that install for gdm and I still get the same problem
[15:46] <spiritssight> LjL: its a flash drive (thumb drive), the system says when I do sudo cp.. its a read-only file system
[15:46] <psilo> hello ^^
[15:47] <gnuplodokus> oups, sorry ^^
[15:47] <DrBytes> no-one?
[15:47] <bazhang> DrBytes, #ubuntu+1
[15:47] <DrBytes> Is there a way to apt-get from 8.04 to the latest 8.10 relerase?
[15:47] <webfarmer> okay I press control alt and backspace and start typing, but it keeps reloading the login screen
[15:47] <kriel> I just recently installed (x)ubuntu on this laptop. It's relatively new (though it's a refurb) and has c2duo 1.86GHz; 3G RAM. However, programs are randomly hanging and music files can take as long as 10-20s to load. Any suggestions for where I might start troubleshooting?
[15:47] <webfarmer> so I pressed control alt and f1
[15:47] <webfarmer> and typed it in
[15:47] <webfarmer> it reboots the screen
[15:47] <webfarmer> but it keeps looping
[15:48] <LjL> !upgrade > DrBytes    (DrBytes, see the private message from Ubotu)
[15:48] <carandraug> DrBytes, you mean you want to update to Intrepid? "sudo aptitude-manager -d" I believe
[15:48] <LjL> !intrepid > DrBytes    (DrBytes, see the private message from Ubotu)
[15:48] <soundray> webfarmer: use my nick please. Run 'sudo invoke-rc.d gdm stop' to stop it looping
[15:49] <soundray> webfarmer: have you done that?
[15:49] <DrBytes> cheers carandraug and LjL
[15:49] <webfarmer> soundray yea - but it just stop everything
[15:50] <webfarmer> * Stopping GNOME Display Manager
[15:50] <afeijo> damn, I see lots of emails on mutt, but thru pop or imap, zero!
[15:50] <soundray> webfarmer: what do you mean by "everything" -- can you still enter commands?
[15:50] <eaxexex> bazhang: paste.ubuntu.org/50513
[15:50] <webfarmer> soundray: now I'm back to square one
[15:50] <webfarmer> soundray yes I see the enter command
[15:50] <soundray> webfarmer: that's where you want to be. Now do a 'sudo apt-get --reinstall install gdm'
[15:50] <webfarmer> I did that
[15:50] <kriel> ... are the FloodBot's fighting for control of the channel?
[15:51] <soundray> webfarmer: okay
[15:51] <LjL> no, they aren't.
[15:51] <soundray> webfarmer: do a 'df -h' and see if any of your filesystems are full
[15:51] <webfarmer> invoke-rc.d:initscript gdm, action reload
[15:51] <soundray> webfarmer: no, you don't want to do that
[15:51] <webfarmer> invoke-rc.d:initscript gdm, action "reload
[15:51] <webfarmer> invoke-rc.d:initscript gdm, action "reload" failed
[15:51] <webfarmer> sorry
[15:51] <bazhang> eaxexex, should be paste.ubuntu.com
[15:52] <eaxexex> bazhang: paste.ubuntu.com/50513 Sorry :)

[15:52] <LjL> march: what about it?
[15:52] <carandraug> Debolaz, tried rtorrent?
[15:53] <eaxexex> bazhang: Okay, gonna take a while to though :/
[15:53] <soundray> webfarmer: I said "see if any of your filesystems are full". Not "paste the results"
[15:53] <march> LjL wrong window
[15:53] <iandaletter> people, how can i save as much as possible from my evolution - how can i backup both messages and contacts?
[15:53] <webfarmer> yea but it being 80% is that a potential problem
[15:53] <soundray> webfarmer: no
[15:53] <webfarmer> soundray none of them are full then
[15:53] <Juje007> Where can I download a .ko file (for the kernel)
[15:54] <LjL> Juje007: downloding a kernel module from some random place seems suicidal.
[15:54] <webfarmer> soundray - thanks for helping me hey
[15:54] <LjL> Juje007: what do you want to achieve?
[15:54] <crushy> hi,  my ubuntu stopped working suddenly
[15:54] <soundray> webfarmer: I haven't helped you yet, but still trying
[15:54] <crushy> its stops on black screen saying not found not found 4-5 times
[15:54] <simNIX> Im seting up preseed automated instalation; when I auto instal a destop there's no prob - When I preseed a lamp server and boot using console-setup/layoutcode=en_US I get after install that whatever key I press I get a litle square not the key ...
[15:54] <Juje007> I want to install a network card and he need eg1032v3.ko at /lib/modules/2.6.24-16-server/kernel/drivers/net/
[15:54] <LjL> crushy: it doesn't say *what's* not found?
[15:55] <crushy> yes it does,
[15:55] <comicinker> iandaletter: I have a script for evolution back up. this also respects your gpg stuff
[15:55] <crushy> colors directory not found etc
[15:55] <simNIX> ... if I dont do console-setup/layoutcode=en_US but do the test for keyboeard layout it does work as expected
[15:55] <webfarmer> soundray :) no, you're definately helping... however this challenge is getting veeeery frustrating
[15:55] <crushy> and it doesnt go to gdm at all, is it possible to reinstall only desktop package, not the all, and is it possible just to repair the installation
[15:55] <simNIX> Is this a bug I need to report somewhere ?
[15:55] <LjL> Juje007: uhm, how do you know it needs that module? which card is it?
[15:56] <webfarmer> soundray so what do we do next... I'm obviously no help here.
[15:56] <Juje007> Linksys EG1032

[15:57] <soundray> webfarmer: tell me if you see anything that makes sense
[15:58] <eaxexex> bazhang: I took eth0?  I wrote: sudo dhclient eth0. That was the output..
[15:58] <crushy> @ juje type this at terminal ---> sudo apt-get install build-essential
[15:58] <bazhang> eaxexex, that was looking for wifi0

[16:01] <huitang> Is there anybody who know well compiz function? I had a problem.
[16:01] <soundray> webfarmer: if you run the above command and give me the URL that it issues, I can look at the whole log file.
[16:01] <rich_> how are UIF files played ??
[16:02] <rich_> anyone?
[16:02] <webfarmer> soundray the rest is (II) "ddc" ["i2c", "ramdac"] already built in, and then expected keysym, got XF86Kbd....

[16:02] <webfarmer> soundray.. url that it issues? it doesn't issue a url
[16:03] <rich_> anyone?.....lol
[16:03] <webfarmer> ok
[16:03] <LjL> Juje007: and congratulations for managing to obtain one of the very few ethernet cards that don't seem to properly work out of the box in Ubuntu ;D

[16:03] <comicinker> iandaletter: you can try updating pidgin with the help of this repository: deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/punischdude/ubuntu hardy main
[16:03] <rich_> hmmm
[16:03] <Juje007> Done crushy
[16:04] <crushy> check if it gives same error , try to install now
[16:04] <CVirus> How can I give a my normal sudo user the same access as root when it comes to network configuration .. I mean I want the user to be able run dhclient and ifconfig without the need of sudo
[16:04] <Juje007> It gives the same error :(
[16:05] <Jork> I love you guys
[16:05] <eaxexex> bazhang: I booted with the cable pluged.. It still says the thing about wifi0
[16:05] <LjL> CVirus: why? does typing "sudo" take up so much time?
[16:05] <crushy> can you tell me the model number of ur card?
[16:05] <CVirus> LjL, no, actually it's more complicated than that

[16:06] <eaxexex> bazhang: The ethernet controller or?
[16:06] <CVirus> LjL, any idea ?
[16:06] <bazhang> eaxexex, yes
[16:06] <crushy> and ur ubuntu version?
[16:06] <LjL> CVirus: no, aside from suggestions that are way too dangerous to give. if you say it's more complicated, can you explain better? perhaps there's a different solution from the specific question you asked
[16:07] <eaxexex> bazhang: 08:02.0 Ethernet controller: RealTek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8139/8139C/8139C+ (rev 10)
[16:07] <CVirus> LjL, I'm working on an application that will need to configure the network settings at some point .. without the user providing a password
[16:08] <bazhang> eaxexex, no reason to give wifi0 if you are typing sudo dhclient eth0
[16:09] <eaxexex> bazhang: What do you mean?
[16:10] <webfarmer> hey soundray. I installed pastebinit... I then wrote "cat '/var/log/gdm/:0.log' | pastebin "
[16:10] <eaxexex> bazhang: I really can't explain why it says wifi0 :S
[16:10] <soundray> webfarmer: it should be "cat '/var/log/gdm/:0.log' | pastebinit "
[16:10] <bazhang> eaxexex, me neither
[16:10] <webfarmer> okay wait - I wrote pastebinit instead and it gave me http://pastebin.com/f7dc49007

[16:12] <talexb> I've googled but haven't found anything.
[16:12] <liza0> hello
[16:12] <LjL> CVirus: well, i think you can do it by making your application *use* sudo, but also editing /etc/sudoers so that your user isn't asked for a password when using "sudo ipconfig" or "sudo dhclient"
[16:12] <liza0> can a service (a dademon)  be run  on start up in linux that consmes files from a nfs mount  or does the app require the user to login and the nfs mount be available ?
[16:12] <shingalated> Does anyone know how to disable CPU frequency scaling?
[16:12] <LjL> CVirus: the "NOPASSWD" tag should do that, refer to "man sudoers2
[16:12] <StFS> hello... is there a way for me to see from what repository a package came?
[16:13] <CVirus> LjL, but yet I'll have to use sudo ... right ?
[16:13] <LjL> StFS: apt-cache policy packagename
[16:13] <webfarmer> using svn yes StFS
[16:13] <webfarmer> commit a folder... then when you are in that folder you can run svn ls
[16:13] <LjL> CVirus: yes (well, the app you're writing will have to use it), but no password will be requested
[16:13] <CVirus> LjL, thanks
[16:14] <StFS> webfarmer: svn??? are you sure you're in the right channel?
[16:14] <soundray> webfarmer: it doesn't really explain the problem
[16:14] <StFS> webfarmer: oh... sorry... that probably wasn't related to your answer to me
[16:15] <webfarmer> yea probably - I don't know - tiz was a stupid answer
[16:16] <webfarmer> soundray? so got any ideas? or you over this?
[16:16] <CVirus> LjL, have you got any other suggestions that would allow the user to run the command without typing sudo ?
[16:16] <soundray> webfarmer: can you run a 'sudo invoke-rc.d gdm start ; sleep 10 ; cat /var/log/syslog | pastebinit'
[16:16] <soundray> webfarmer: actually, that'll be way too much
[16:17] <LjL> CVirus, no. but i don't understand what the problem is: the user *will not* have to *type* sudo, if you're writing an *application* that uses the ifconfig and dhclient commands
[16:17] <soundray> webfarmer: let's just try this instead:
[16:17] <soundray> webfarmer: 'tail -n 200 /var/log/syslog | pastebinit'
[16:18] <webfarmer> invoke-rc.d: syntax error: missing required parameter

[16:18] <StFS> LjL: hmm... "apt-cache policy libqtcore4" tells me the package version... but not the actual repository it came from (http://rafb.net/p/yHNdwa13.html)
[16:19] <perlmonkey> ive foolishly forgotten my username and password and need to do some maintenance on my server...is there a way to gain entry and reset them?
[16:19] <webfarmer> http://pastebin.com/f2c9fffbd
[16:19] <dark_> wassup!
[16:20] <perlmonkey> dark_ im locked out
[16:20] <StFS> LjL: What's bugging me is that I believe I've removed all the non-standard repositories from sources.list but this package (libqtcore4) is still under "installed packages" and not "obsolete and locally inserted"
[16:20] <LjL> StFS: no, you're right, it doesn't. i don't believe anything does, apt-cache just comes close, by giving you a list of repositories the package is found in (in this case, it isn't even telling you the repository, probably because the package isn't there anymore)

[16:20] <h00k> perlmonkey, do you have physical access?
[16:20] <LjL> StFS, all odds are that that package comes from the KDE4 PPA repository

[16:21] <LjL> perlmonkey: err no, this isn't what i wanted to give you...

[16:21] <perlmonkey> LjL phew many thanks
[16:21] <LjL> StFS: i'm afraid you'll have to do them manually
[16:21] <StFS> LjL: ok... well I had that repo... but I've commented it out, updated and it's still in "installed" as opposed to "obsolete and locally installed"
[16:21] <LjL> StFS: well, it's not obsolete
[16:22] <dark_> Who was that guy asking about the libqt thingy?
[16:22] <LjL> dark_: stfs

[16:22] <dauab> #twisted
[16:22] <dark_> thanks.
[16:22] <dark_> stfs?
[16:22] <LjL> StFS: you can install a specific version of a package with sudo apt-get install packagename=version
[16:22] <StFS> LjL: ahhhh... a package goes to obsolete only if it's not found in any other repo

[16:23] <StFS> LjL: right... I'll try that but I'm just a little worried about dependency problems when going that way

[16:25] <dark_> KristanDK, can't you just set it manually?  What happens when you try it in the standard system-config-display thingy?  I think it will let you set it manually, yes?

[16:27] <Some_Person> indian_munnda: Do you have Ubuntu 32-bit or Ubuntu 64-bit?
[16:27] <dark_> be careful though, if it dosen't have the power, it can hang or fuck up your display.
[16:27] <LjL> Some_Person: using the 64bit version will result in some (mostly proprietary) software failing to work or being difficult to install

[16:33] <dark_> kristanDK, (Not criticizing you) are you a linux newbie, because if you are, then the jargon coming outta my mouth won't be as easy to understand as an online manual.
[16:33] <Some_Person> indian_munnda: A long time ago
[16:33] <Some_Person> indian_munnda: Before I started using free tools
[16:33] <webfarmer> dark_ do you know anything about gdm?
[16:33] <Some_Person> indian_munnda: Nero for Linux is a waste of money IMHO
[16:33] <dark_> gnome display manager?
[16:33] <perlmonkey> damn im locked out of my system
[16:34] <webfarmer> yea - it keeps restarting - I can't even get to my login screen.
[16:34] <indian_munnda> Some_Person: i m downloading a trail version right now, is it available free also in any repository?
[16:34] <dark_> Pretty much the X front end for gnome's working with the system.
[16:34] <comicinker> Some_Person: nero for linux is at least relyable
[16:34] <Some_Person> indian_munnda: Nero is commercial proprietary software.
[16:34] <joaopinto> indian_munnda, there are plenty of open source cd burning apps on the official repositories
[16:34] <Some_Person> indian_munnda: It is not available for free (except with the trial version)
[16:35] <PerfectExodus> What does "C compiler can not create executables" mean? (besides the obvious)
[16:35] <Some_Person> indian_munnda: GnomeBaker and that other thing that comes with Ubuntu are free and IMHO just as good
[16:35] <LjL> PerfectExodus: probably that you don't have the "build-essential" package installed
[16:35] <indian_munnda> joaopinto: i was just asking for the knowledge man.
[16:35] <perlmonkey> ive got a system which is running Ubuntu Feisty 7.04 and the MythTV packages, it's booting straight into MythTV..the problem is I have forgot my username and password and cannot login to X, when i start X (even in recovery mode) it automatically starts X using mythtv user... how to get back into the X desktop to reset my username/password?
[16:35] <joaopinto> PerfectExodus, it means the C compiler is not available :)
[16:35] <dark_> Basically, it starts the low-level ops required and then starts using GTK+, which is a library dealing directly with gnome applications.
[16:35] <dark_> Whadda ya wanna know?
[16:35] <webfarmer> _dark: it keeps restarting before I even hit the login point - it endlessly loops, playing the start login audio file - got any ideas how I can fix this?
[16:35] <PerfectExodus> LjL:  Ah... prolly should fix that....
[16:36] <indian_munnda> Some_Person: according to u which is the most user friendly one for burning files?
[16:36] <webfarmer> _dark: I get to the root from loading up ubuntu and then I type in X - that runs fine

[16:36] <Some_Person> indian_munnda: they
[16:36] <Some_Person> indian_munnda: they're not really that much different
[16:37] <dark_> Sorry, repeat.  I just saw the message and thought it was from somebody else.
[16:37] <webfarmer> dark_: it keeps restarting before I even hit the login point - it endlessly loops, playing the start login audio file - got any ideas how I can fix this?

[16:38] <AngelwingedDevil> hi there!
[16:38] <AngelwingedDevil> I have some problems with my x file
[16:38] <xnv> perlmonkey: Do you have a root account/password set up?
[16:38] <dark_> Apparently, there's a bug in your GDM config (I think)
[16:38] <comicinker> perlmonkey: you can log in a konsole by hitting ctrl alt f1, change back to X by ctrl alt f7
[16:38] <perlmonkey> xnv: im not sure
[16:38] <dark_> Here's what you gotta do.
[16:39] <perlmonkey> comicinker: thanks! I will give that a try
[16:39] <webfarmer> is there a way to revert back to older versions of ubuntu
[16:39] <dark_> I will msg instructions when I get them ready.
[16:39] <AngelwingedDevil> whenever I set the mouse to be emulate three buttons and the keyboard language to danish it doesn't load the nvidia drivers at startup

[16:40] <perlmonkey> comicinker: that doesnt solve the problem tho, i dont have a username/password to login
[16:40] <comicinker> perlmonkey: but if you have forgotten the username and password, the easiest way is to reinstall ubuntu.
[16:40] <dark_> Webfarmer, First, get a single user mode (root) shell.
[16:40] <perlmonkey> damn ok
[16:41] <AngelwingedDevil> !paste
[16:41] <perlmonkey> thats gonna be a real pain as this system has no cdrom drive

[16:41] <indian_munnda> mohkohn: but its in kde i think. right?
[16:41] <atlef> perlmonkey: install from usb stick or drive
[16:41] <dark_> Normally, you go into grub and add "single" to the line starting with linux.

[16:42] <mohkohn> indian_munnda, yes it is a kde program and it will download a bunch of kde stuff to your hard drive.
[16:42] <indian_munnda> Some_Person: to which repository IMHO belongs ??
[16:42] <dark_> all right.
[16:42] <perlmonkey> silly of me not to write down the username and password somewhere safe

[16:43] <perlmonkey> ok
[16:43] <comicinker> perlmonkey: anotherway could be the use of a live cd and john. http://openwall.com/john/doc/
[16:43] <mohkohn> but it works..in IMHO better than proprietary cdburning
[16:44] <mohkohn> I
[16:44] <comicinker> perlmonkey: but only if you know that the password was insecure
[16:44] <atlef> indian_munnda: oh, and k3b does not install that many dependecies
[16:44] <mohkohn> Is ta
[16:44] <AngelwingedDevil> http://paste.ubuntu.com/50530/
[16:44] <indian_munnda> atlef: but what is IMHO?
[16:44] <dark_> can you access internet with your present shell?
[16:44] <mohkohn> oops Is that because of disk space indian_munnda
[16:45] <atlef> indian_munnda: in my honest opinion
[16:45] <indian_munnda> mohkohn: yeah man exactly.
[16:45] <dark_> brb.
[16:45] <perlmonkey> i got root access!!!!!1
[16:45] <perlmonkey> woohooo
[16:45] <indian_munnda> atlef: oops, i was thinking its package name.  :)
[16:45] <AngelwingedDevil> can anyone help me please?
[16:45] <atlef> indian_munnda: :-)
[16:45] <NauarchLysander> I have a problem. I've just installed Fedora on an already existing Windows Vista/Ubuntu PC. As Fedora overwrites the existing Ubuntu GRUB it's no longer possible to load Ubuntu. I suppose I have to edit something in GRUB, but what exactly?
[16:46] <office_> #spip
[16:46] <perlmonkey> screw that
[16:46] <office_> join #spip-fr
[16:46] <perlmonkey> stop spamming
[16:46] <AngelwingedDevil> http://paste.ubuntu.com/50533/ and http://paste.ubuntu.com/50530/
[16:46] <webfarmer> _dark yes I can
[16:46] <rebelThor> hey, can anyone tell me how do you use the "gfxboot" package ?
[16:46] <LjL> office_: /join #spip-fr
[16:46] <perlmonkey> thanks for your help guys, much appreciated!
[16:46] <mohkohn> cdrecord -v -eject speed=4 /dev/cdrom {nameofiso}.iso indian_munnda
[16:46] <FisHHeizer> this channel is a mess
[16:46] <FisHHeizer> really
[16:47] <indian_munnda> Some_Person: atlef: mohkohn: thanks for your kind suggestions
[16:47] <mohkohn> least diskspace
[16:47] <indian_munnda> mohkohn: i am installing brasero
[16:47] <webfarmer> WHAT IS GRUB
[16:47] <LjL> FisHHeizer: people saying random, unrelated things like "this channel is a mess" doesn't help keeping it tidy, either :)
[16:47] <LjL> webfarmer: the bootloader that loads your operating system when your computer powers on
[16:47] <NauarchLysander> webfarmer: it's the GRand Unified Bootloader
[16:47] <xnv> webfarmer: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_GRUB
[16:47] <FisHHeizer> sorry
[16:47] <mohkohn> webfarmer, grand unified boot manager
[16:47] <NauarchLysander> I have a problem. I've just installed Fedora on an already existing Windows Vista/Ubuntu PC. As Fedora overwrites the existing Ubuntu GRUB it's no longer possible to load Ubuntu. I suppose I have to edit something in GRUB, but what exactly?
[16:48] <mohkohn> xnv's will be the best
[16:48] <atlef> !grub | NauarchLysander:
[16:48] <NauarchLysander> ubottu: well, I actually didn't really lose it. It was overwritten by the Fedora installation.
[16:49] <pihhan> NauarchLysander: you have to edit /boot/grub/menu.lst in fedora, and add there boot entries for ubuntu also
[16:50] <llisys> whats a good server bouncing client?
[16:50] <RickZilla> Hi gang, on this page http://www.edubuntu.org/GettingStarted I see the line "Besides the standard software available on the Edubuntu CD, you will also find a world of software in the Edubuntu Universe, an on-line repository containing more than 10GB of community contributed software." But I don't see a link to it anywhere. Can somebody point me in the right direction?
[16:50] <LjL> llisys: a what?
[16:50] <pihhan> NauarchLysander: you might use chainloader +1 like windows use to execute original ubuntu autoupdated grub, if it is in its own partition
[16:50] <thiebaude> rickzilla:synaptic
[16:50] <xnv> RickZilla: A link to the "Edubuntu Universe"?
[16:51] <dark_> Try "init 3" then "startx"
[16:51] <RickZilla> xnv:  Yes
[16:51] <atlef> !synaptic | RickZilla:
[16:51] <dark_> webfarmer?
[16:51] <pihhan> RickZilla: Universe is repository of all programs available in ubuntu
[16:51] <thiebaude> rickzilla:all your software is available through synaptic
[16:51] <NauarchLysander> pihhan: i already thought of this. I tried to edit the lines for Ubuntu in GRUB when it starts. But once I figured out which where the right entries for kernel and initrd it still didn't work.
[16:51] <webfarmer> dark_ yea
[16:51] <xnv> RickZilla: System > Administration > Synaptic Package Manager ... You may need to go to Settings > Repositories and enable the "universe"
[16:51] <llisys> LjL: vnc or whatever :)
[16:52] <dark_> did you get a Graphical interface?
[16:52] <RickZilla> xnv:  So all of that is already on the cd when I install ubuntu/edubuntu?
[16:52] <RickZilla> I just have to install it?
[16:52] <xnv> RickZilla: No.
[16:52] <RickZilla> Ok...so synaptic goes out and gets it for me
[16:52] <xnv> RickZilla: So I can make a comparison... Have you used Windows?
[16:52] <atlef> yes
[16:52] <webfarmer> dark_ I've got ubuntu 8.4 installed - with all it's default cactus on it - gnome is not working though
[16:52] <webfarmer> dark_ it was
[16:52] <NauarchLysander> is it possible that the fedora installation (perhaps the participating of my disk?) destroyed something in the Ubuntu partition?
[16:52] <RickZilla> Sorry...somewhat of an ubuntu newbie, so I should probably research a little more before I come in here asking questions like that :-)
[16:52] <mohkohn> I have drunk 10 Ankghor Beer <largebottle> while listening to Moterhead. Howcan I type?
[16:53] <mohkohn> goodnight
[16:53] <webfarmer> dark_ now it's not.... I have no idea what to do - and I've spent the entire day trying to get this to run
[16:53] <xnv> RickZilla: Synaptic is like an advanced Add/Remove Programs, but you just search for the programs you want, select which ones to install, and Synaptic downloads and installs them for you.
[16:53] <dark_> That might be the problem.
[16:53] <pihhan> NauarchLysander: you have to change root for loading ubuntu kernel, because you have propably different partition. You can partially fix this by having commong /boot partition with both ubuntu and fedora kernels, but you have to edit it manually anyway
[16:53] <RickZilla> xnv:  Thanks!  That information saves me a lot of headaches
[16:53] <thiebaude> rickzilla:most software you need is in synaptic
[16:53] <webfarmer> dark_ what? that I don't know what I'm doing?
[16:53] <dark_> Gnome probably dosen't exist anymore (for some reason) but gdm conf file refers to it, resulting in endless loop.
[16:54] <danbh_intrepid> RickZilla: try looking under your menus, there may be a link regarding Add/Remove Programs.   Thats a better place to start than synaptic
[16:54] <webfarmer> dark_ so what do I do - apt-get install gnome
[16:54] <NauarchLysander> pihhan: What do you mean with "change root"? I mean, my GRUB is written in the MBR of my disk. It should be possible to load all three OS from there.
[16:54] <pihhan> RickZilla: there is no web, where you can search available packages, because they are changed frequently, and number of packages is huge. You can visit http://packages.ubuntu.com for more info
[16:55] <thiebaude> rickzilla:there is also a site called getdeb that has some software in .deb form
[16:55] <danbh_intrepid> webfarmer: how did this breakage happen
[16:55] <pihhan> NauarchLysander: menu.lst has somewhere line "root (hd0,1)" or such. this does select partition where grub does work
[16:55] <dark_> probably, but I would recommend looking in /usr/bin and looking for any remnant-appearing file of Gnome, and that might prove that it once existed.
[16:55] <webfarmer> _dark I did that and FINALLY it gave me a responce that I think may help all of us
[16:55] <danbh_intrepid> thiebaude: RickZilla If you are new to this, dont use the getdeb website
[16:56] <dark_> go on...
[16:56] <webfarmer> _dark I typed in sudo apt-get install gnome
[16:56] <dark_> what happened?
[16:56] <RickZilla> Thanks, I'll learn my way around Synaptic first
[16:56] <eugman> I have a broken flash drive that I was hoping ubuntu would see see since windows could not. The light comes on when I plug it in but it the drive does't show up on ubutu. Is there any way to tell if ubuntu sees it at all?
[16:57] <dark_> webfarmer, did it work?
[16:57] <pihhan> NauarchLysander: it should be enough copy entries from ubuntu's menu.lst to end of fedora menu.lst. it has root clausule in it, which should work
[16:57] <thiebaude> danbh_intrepid:i didn't know anything was wrong with that site
[16:57] <webfarmer> no
[16:57] <dark_> what was this "response"?
[16:58] <NauarchLysander> pihhan: yes, that is part of the Ubuntu entry in GRUB. I expandized the entry by 'kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.24-16-generic' and 'initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.24-16-generic', but it still didn't work. I'm not sure if it would work if I would type this in the menu.lst
[16:58] <IntuitiveNipple> eugman: Try running this command and then plug the device in: sudo udevmonitor --environment
[16:59] <therproject> #asterisk
[16:59] <pulsewave> I setup a mail server, what ports do i need to open up on my firewall to receive email from the outside world?
[16:59] <webfarmer> dark_ okay when I hit apt-get install gnome - it told me this:
[16:59] <IntuitiveNipple> pulsewave: 25 TCP
[16:59] <dark_> go on...
[16:59] <greencookie> kind of offtopic, but if I want to sync my ipod shuffle, what program would be best? I tried rhythmbox but it crashes when I want to load songs onto it.
[17:00] <pulsewave> I have 25 open and emails aren't showing up...?
[17:00] <pihhan> NauarchLysander: you have to grab each complete entry from "title" to "initrd"
[17:00] <danbh_intrepid> thiebaude: well, he is completely new, with no idea what he is doing.  I think he should stick to the official repositories   (he didn't even know that those repos existed)   Since you cant just install any deb, you have to get one that works for your system, I figured he should stay away from that website.   Anyway...
[17:00] <webfarmer> Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of incoming
[17:00] <eugman> IntuitiveNipple: Ok. I did, I assume something should have show up it it was working?
[17:00] <IntuitiveNipple> pulsewave: Have you done a manual telnet connection test to it, from a system located outside your network
[17:01] <dark_> What version do you have?
[17:01] <webfarmer> Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that the package is simply not installable and a bug report against that package should be filed.
[17:01] <eugman> gah, sorry for typos
[17:01] <danbh_intrepid> webfarmer: sudo apt-get install pastebinit && cat /etc/apt/sources.list | pastebinit
[17:01] <webfarmer> The following information may help to resolve the situation. _dark - then it gives me the gnome dependancy
[17:01] <IntuitiveNipple> eugman: You should see the events the kernel sends to userspace when the insertion occurs, yes
[17:01] <soundray> webfarmer: I told you not to paste stuff here
[17:01] <webfarmer> dark_ what version of what
[17:01] <IntuitiveNipple> eugman: Also, with the device plugged in, see if it is listed by lsub
[17:02] <webfarmer> I can't paste soundray - I typed all that
[17:02] <soundray> danbh_intrepid: he has pastebinit installed already
[17:02] <dark_> webfarmer: ubuntu.
[17:02] <NauarchLysander> pihhan: I wrote that in the Ubuntu entry. In the last post I forgot to mention that after the kernel... I put 'root=/dev/sda1' (this is the Ubuntu partition) in it. But, as I said, it did not work, what could be the reason?
[17:02] <webfarmer> and I tried to use pastebinit - but it gave me sand
[17:02] <soundray> webfarmer: well, use the pastebin instead
[17:02] <danbh_intrepid> soundray: ok, well, I just want to see his sources.list
[17:02] <webfarmer> 8.04 hardy heron
[17:03] <soundray> webfarmer: you've used pastebinit before, so if it didn't work now, you've been using it wrong
[17:03] <dark_> wait, i think that's what I got.
[17:03] <IntuitiveNipple> eugman: and also, run this command then re-insert the device and check to see what the kernel logs: tail -f /var/log/kern.log
[17:03] <eugman> IntuitiveNipple: it says bash: lsub: command not found.
[17:03] <IntuitiveNipple> eugman: lol... typo lsusb
[17:03] <webfarmer> soundray how do i pastebin the responce of an apt-get install responce
[17:04] <dark_> webfarmer, see if you can get the RPM itself and install.  (for gnome)
[17:04] <danbh_intrepid> RPM?
[17:04] <dark_> something may be wrong with your apt.
[17:04] <Scunizi> I just installed Ubuntu on a friends HP that has a Savage video card.. the drivers are installed but I don't think the install picked them up and are using them. How can I verify?
[17:04] <soundray> dark_: please, you're putting webfarmer on the wrong track with RPM stuff
[17:04] <bazhang> dark_, dont recommend rpm
[17:05] <aline> hi
[17:05] <dark_> soundray: does ubuntu not use rpm?
[17:05] <bazhang> dark_, no
[17:05] <danbh_intrepid> Scunizi: how about a 3d video game?/
[17:05] <dark_> oh, Sorry, don't.
[17:05] <aline> .____________.
[17:05] <soundray> webfarmer: don't apt-get install gnome, that makes no sense
[17:05] <Scunizi> danbh_intrepid: well. I"m stuck at 640x480 which typically means I'm in vesa
[17:05] <mmcji> howdee
[17:06] <danbh_intrepid> Scunizi: have you tried to change the resolution?
[17:06] <dark_> I'm just getting used to ubuntu, I normally use fedora.
[17:06] <eugman> IntuitiveNipple: ok, this is weird, lsusb just stalls with the broken thumb drive...
[17:06] <Scunizi> danbh_intrepid: no other resolutions are available
[17:06] <eugman> it works with a normal drive or with none
[17:06] <IntuitiveNipple> eugman: Sounds like the device is fubar
[17:06] <Scunizi> danbh_intrepid: also tried bumping the "effects" up to normal from none.. and it wouldn't do it.
[17:06] <danbh_intrepid> Scunizi: yeah, sounds like its not working...   but this is out of my knowledge
[17:07] <mmcji> updatedb is not indexing everything so if I do a locate *.iso, I am not finding files on a mounted hard drive I have
[17:07] <dark_> I'm actually under the impression usually that linux distros are all the same, guess not.
[17:07] <Scunizi> danbh_intrepid: k
[17:07] <jones-> Hi. My X server is segfaulting each time I get a beep (eg. bash autocompletion, firefox search). What's going on?
[17:07] <danbh_intrepid> Scunizi: yeah, that happens if it isnt working.  Did you use jockey to install the driver?
[17:07] <jones-> (Ubuntu 8.04)
[17:07] <soundray> danbh_intrepid: you think he might have mixed repositories?
[17:07] <Scunizi> danbh_intrepid: no.. the driver is part of the install.. on the live cd..
[17:07] <webfarmer> ok so no one has a clue on how to fix this issue
[17:07] <dark_> WAIT!  Webfarmer, maybe you can install yum with apt.  Then yum "should" do it for you.
[17:07] <huitang> why is  my 3D desktop  slower than before since I reinstall the xorg driver?
[17:07] <ReloadRepeat> hey there, I need help adding a swap disk to my ubuntu installation
[17:08] <soundray> webfarmer: don't be so impatient
[17:08] <danbh_intrepid> soundray: I dont know, but seeing the sources.list would tell me, in addition to what version of ubuntu he is running
[17:08] <jones-> like, if I open a terminal and type "ls <TAB><TAB>" I get a X segfault 100% of the times.
[17:08] <webfarmer> soundray: bud I've go so much to get done
[17:08] <dark_> soundray: do you think installing yum with apt will do it?
[17:08] <bazhang> dark_, no
[17:09] <soundray> webfarmer: as if annoying those who try to help will get more done
[17:09] <eugman> IntuitiveNipple: Yeah, looks like. It seems to see the device ad then gets a big read error or something. I'm going to assume it's definitely fubar
[17:09] <webfarmer> soundray: my apologies if I get a bit impatient - but I am on a deadline that is scaring the crap out of me
[17:09] <soundray> dark_: forget it. Yum on Ubuntu is a big nono
[17:09] <bazhang> webfarmer, lets see your sources.list
[17:09] <danbh_intrepid> soundray: I would have webfarmer do a tasksel install of ubuntu-desktop if his sources check out
[17:09] <dark_> soundray: why?
[17:09] <webfarmer> soundtray - if I annoy please forgive me. I really don't mean to come across offensive or demanding in any way
[17:09] <mmcji> webfarmer: what is the issue?
[17:09] <soundray> webfarmer: please do a 'cat /etc/apt/sources.list | pastebinit' and let us have the URL
[17:10] <bazhang> dark_, yum is for rpm based distros not ubuntu
[17:10] <soundray> dark_: it is designed around apt
[17:10] <soundray> !apt > dark_
[17:10] <bazhang> dark_, please dont suggest things if you have no idea
[17:10] <soundray> danbh_intrepid: is tasksel going to do anything other than apt-get install ubuntu-desktop?
[17:11] <jones-> I'm getting something similar to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnash/+bug/140554/comments/53
[17:11] <dark_> ubottu: so, if you use yum, which is mainly for redhat, it will screw up ubuntu?
[17:11] <webfarmer> mmcji: my gdm is not loading correctly and for some reason it keeps restarting - I get to my login window - for a split second, it plays the user indicator sound file and then restart again... so the effect is the endless loop of the login window trying to load up...
[17:12] <soundray> dark_: not necessarily, but it requires that you know what you are doing, which is something you cannot assume of people who ask for help in this channel.
[17:12] <mmcji> webfarmer: ok thanks
[17:12] <dark_> oohh.
[17:12] <danbh_intrepid> soundray: yes.  I believe the difference is that apt-get will only to check to make sure the top level dependencies are filled.  A tasksel will install the default dependencies
[17:12] <IntuitiveNipple> webfarmer: From a virtual console have you tried creating a new user, and then logging in as that user to gdm? That would tell you if the problem is specific to the profile or system-wide
[17:13] <soundray> danbh_intrepid: he's done an otherwise successful gutsy-hardy upgrade, and apt-get -f install checks out okay...
[17:13] <soundray> webfarmer: where is that URL I asked you for?
[17:13] <linduxed> is it a big deal to have to go 64-bit gnu/linux?
[17:13] <dark_> soundray: so, I guess I've gotten out of touch with noobs?
[17:14] <atlef> linduxed: no, but you need to reinstall
[17:14] <webfarmer> IntuitiveNipple - so would I load up ubuntu, by pass that by pressing control alt f1 and then typing in an alternative user that I created before, using adduser?
[17:14] <mmcji> I run headless systems mostly and do not use gdm, so I will not be much help, BUT if you are under a deadline, then why not backup your data and just reload your os.  and Install + apt-get update +apt-get upgrade would prob take about 40 minutes total, This is just a suggestion.  I find that sometimes it is just faster to start fresh than to fix odd errors.
[17:14] <soundray> dark_: it's more that you're not in touch with Ubuntu
[17:15] <dark_> soundray: that too.
[17:15] <linduxed> atlef: i know that but i meant if the fact that its 64 bit is a prob....heard something about that
[17:15] <dasdajs> Hi, how do I unpack .tar.bz2? I tried bunzip2 the file and then tar xjf but that doesn't work? :S
[17:15] <snova> dasdajs: use 'tar xjf'
[17:15] <webfarmer> which url soundray - sorry I'm on mirc, it doesn't highlight when you call me so I tend to miss some of the lines you write to me
[17:15] <IntuitiveNipple> webfarmer: Yes, user Ctrl+Alt+F1 to get to VT1 (virtual terminal 1), log-in, do "sudo adduser <newuser>" and set the password. Then restart gnome "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart" and try logging in as the new user
[17:15] <soundray> dasdajs: use tar xf on the .tar
[17:15] <snova> dasdajs: the 'j' part does bzip2 automatically for you
[17:15] <webfarmer> it's very FRUSTRING
[17:15] <atlef> linduxed: have been running it since hardy was released, and no big problems so far
[17:15] <soundray> dasdajs: or tar xjf on the .tar.bz2
[17:15] <dasdajs> snova thanks
[17:15] <MarquisDeSade> hello all...
[17:15] <soundray> webfarmer: please do a 'cat /etc/apt/sources.list | pastebinit' and let us have the URL
[17:16] <MarquisDeSade> need help pls...
[17:16] <snova> dasdajs: it also does .gz with 'z'
[17:16] <MarquisDeSade> anyone?
[17:16] <snova> MarquisDeSade: what's the problem?
[17:16] <soundray> IntuitiveNipple: that's not going to help if the login screen is never accessible
[17:16] <dark_> Gotta eat supper.  You guys would probably do better explaining than me anyway.  gutentag!
[17:16] <[T]ank> can anyone guide me to find out if my laptop has bluetooth? my admin tells me it does, but i dont see anything in any of the searches I have tried... is there a no questions asked way to look it up and know for sure? rather than me running a bunch of commands I think will show me, but dont.
[17:16] <webfarmer> mmcji - I can't just start over - there's all sorts of setups on this that would take 2 days to setup
[17:16] <MarquisDeSade> i don't know how to enable direct rendering...
[17:16] <MarquisDeSade> after installing xgl
[17:16] <soundray> IntuitiveNipple: have you seen the webfarmer's syslog? http://pastebin.com/f2c9fffbd
[17:17] <jim_p> MarquisDeSade: what gpu are you on?
[17:17] <linduxed> atlef: oh i c
[17:17] <MarquisDeSade> Intel 945GME
[17:17] <mmcji> ok
[17:17] <MarquisDeSade> HP530 laptop
[17:17] <snova> i have three kernels installed. is it safe to remove the older two?
[17:17] <jeroen-> does anyone know how to be able to connect to a kde remote desktop (krdc) with Ubuntu?
[17:17] <webfarmer> soundray. http://pastebin.com/f200a6b03
[17:17] <atlef> snova: if you do not have any problems with the new, then yes
[17:17] <jeroen-> it gives a password, but doesnt want to login with vinagre
[17:18] <jeroen-> krdc uses vnc right?
[17:18] <soundray> snova: yes, once you've verified that the latest one works. I keep one older one around, though, out of habit
[17:18] <snova> that's what somebody else suggested after upgrades left me with two.
[17:18] <MarquisDeSade> how do i enable direct rendering with mesa drivers?
[17:18] <jim_p> MarquisDeSade: do you have "intel" set as your driver inside xorg.conf?
[17:18] <soundray> webfarmer: go with danbh_intrepid's suggestion
[17:19] <snova> i guess it's not bothering me, but it makes it confusing when kernel modules come into play.
[17:19] <IntuitiveNipple> soundray: Oh, is that all? width=0 - what is happening to cause that is a theme icon or image is corrupted
[17:19] <vitanovus> i love ubuntu :)
[17:19] <danbh_intrepid> webfarmer: well, if you want to go with my suggestion, let me know, and I will give the exact command
[17:19] <MarquisDeSade> jim_p, no i just have "Configured video device"
[17:19] <soundray> IntuitiveNipple: ah
[17:19] <IntuitiveNipple> soundray: one thing I detest about gtk/gdk, the log messages very often don't tell us *which* file they have a problem with!
[17:20]  * IntuitiveNipple stamps
[17:20] <snova> MarquisDeSade: perhaps you should copy xorg.conf to the pastebin for us to take a better look
[17:20] <CalvinDK> Does anyone have a ubuntu driver to this Winfast USB TV - http://www.gruntville.com/reviews/misc/leadtek_winfast_tv_usb/page2.php
[17:20] <soundray> webfarmer: I take it back -- let's listen to IntuitiveNipple first
[17:20] <IntuitiveNipple> nnoooooooooo
[17:20]  * IntuitiveNipple runs and hides
[17:20] <MarquisDeSade> pastebin? what's that? sorry, first time here
[17:20] <IntuitiveNipple> I'll just poke me nose in if I see something I can contribute - you are welcome to it :)
[17:20] <xomp> !pastebin | MarquisDeSade
[17:21] <vitanovus> pastebin is an online copy and paste
[17:21] <webfarmer> danbh_intrepid: what command is this - what does it do - sorry I missed what you wrote
[17:21] <MarquisDeSade> oh, ql thnx guys...i'll do that in a sec :)
[17:21] <IntuitiveNipple> soundray: If the new user profile can log-in okay I'd suggest it is caused by a customised / faulty update to a theme
[17:21] <[Solars]> question about VM type application from windoes to use ubuntu... first of there is 'virtial install" right? but I also use it say if I have a second hdd and running windows on the first to access ubuntu on the second w
[17:21] <webfarmer> IntuitiveNipple; I don't even get to the login screen though
[17:22] <soundray> IntuitiveNipple: the problem, though, is that absolutely no-one can log in at present
[17:22] <IntuitiveNipple> webfarmer: okay... that's progress! It means there's less to check to fix it!
[17:22] <soundray> webfarmer: can you run 'startx'?
[17:22] <IntuitiveNipple> webfarmer: Did I read correctly that you've just done a dist-upgrade to hardy?
[17:22] <danbh_intrepid> webfarmer: Ill give the command once you are done with the other guy's suggestions
[17:22] <webfarmer> yea
[17:23] <IntuitiveNipple> webfarmer: From gutsy?
[17:23] <MarquisDeSade> here you go, http://paste.ubuntu.com/50548/
[17:23] <soundray> danbh_intrepid: thanks for your patience :)
[17:23] <webfarmer> after a while it loads my desktop fine
[17:23] <webfarmer> AAAAAAAAAAHHH
[17:23] <IntuitiveNipple> webfarmer: so you can log-in but it takes forever?
[17:24] <webfarmer> no not at all
[17:24] <snova> MarquisDeSade: it doesn't look like you have any driver specified
[17:24] <soundray> webfarmer: is that after startx? ( IntuitiveNipple)
[17:24] <webfarmer> it loads
[17:24] <snova> MarquisDeSade: i don't know how good x is at autodetection
[17:24] <MarquisDeSade> glxinfo? paste that?
[17:24] <IntuitiveNipple> haha... over to you soundray
[17:24] <webfarmer> I pressed control alt f1 and pressed control C
[17:24] <snova> MarquisDeSade: yeah, that might be handy
[17:24] <webfarmer> I then ran startx again
[17:24] <CalvinDK> Do anyone know where to find ubuntu drivers
[17:24] <MarquisDeSade> snova, just a sec
[17:24] <webfarmer> it tries to load the window
[17:24] <webfarmer> but then it just freezes
[17:25] <jim_p> CalvinDK: drivers for what?
[17:25] <soundray> webfarmer: keep  it on one line please
[17:25] <webfarmer> no preezes just does nothing

[17:26] <jim_p> CalvinDK: you have a pm
[17:26] <soundray> CalvinDK: find out the USB ID with lsusb and do a web search on it.
[17:26] <indian_munnda> atlef: i have downloaded isomaster-1.3.3.tar.bz2 but don't know how to install it, can you help me??
[17:26] <jim_p> indian_munnda: delete it, open a terminal and run "sudo apt-get install isomaster"
[17:26] <snova> MarquisDeSade: alright, you definitely aren't using any special drivers. this is just the generic mesa one
[17:27] <atlef> indian_munnda: sorry, all i know is you need to read the readme
[17:27] <CalvinDK> I have look but I can not finde an ubuntu driver
[17:27] <snova> MarquisDeSade: did you say you have an intel chip?
[17:27] <CalvinDK> ...lokked on the internet
[17:27] <MarquisDeSade> yes Intel 945GME
[17:27] <indian_munnda> atlef: ok thanks and jim_p u too.
[17:27] <soundray> webfarmer: I think the upgrade failed for some reason. If it was my system, I'd backup and reinstall.
[17:27] <soundray> CalvinDK: what's the USB ID?
[17:28] <RickZilla> For right now, anyway, it looks like there isn't a Linux version of Evernote http://www.evernote.com/
[17:28] <jim_p> CalvinDK: you have a pm from me! check your tabs
[17:28] <CalvinDK> I don konw the USB ID - how to finde that ?
[17:28] <soundray> jim_p: please keep it in the channel if you can
[17:28] <carsten1> hi... i recently switched to intrepid and now direct rendering stopped working. i have radeon 9600 and i'm using the radeon driver. glxinfo says "extension glx missing" and segfaults. logfile says (WW) RADEON(0): Direct rendering disabled and (EE) Failed to initialize GLX extension (Compatible NVIDIA X driver not found) can anybody help me? :)
[17:28] <soundray> CalvinDK: I told you how. Use lsusb
[17:28] <snova> MarquisDeSade: is that synonomous with 'i945'? because there's a video driver that says it supports that series
[17:28] <webfarmer> sorry soundray - very bad habbit - okay rebooted and then reran startx
[17:29] <soundray> !intrepid > carsten1
[17:29] <soundray> webfarmer: I think the upgrade failed for some reason. If it was my system, I'd backup and reinstall.
[17:29] <jim_p> soundray: i cant, there is too much to be done. from lsudb to the right module to installing it... long way
[17:29] <MarquisDeSade> snova, i had a diferent glxinfo before i instaled glx...
[17:29] <CalvinDK> Soundray: Sorry am newbie - how to use lsusb
[17:29] <soundray> jim_p: then see if #ubuntu-classroom is free and do it there
[17:29] <mmcji> webfarmer: yes i agree with soundray, i know it is a pain, but it might be less painful in the end
[17:30] <jim_p> CalvinDK: open a terminal and type lsusb
[17:30] <genii> CalvinDK: Open application called Terminal    and type it in there
[17:30] <soundray> CalvinDK: open a terminal (Applications-Accessories-Terminal) and enter lsusb
[17:30] <MarquisDeSade> snova, in that one, it exactly said the name of my gpu...i guess it is synonimous with 945i
[17:30] <snova> MarquisDeSade: i don't know anything about intel cards, and i have to go for a few minutes- somebody else will have to help (sorry)
[17:30] <jim_p> soundray: was that a joke??!?!
[17:30] <danbh_intrepid> webfarmer: we can try the tasksel command at this point (before you reinstall).  Its not that powerful, but its a good check.
[17:30] <CalvinDK> one moment
[17:30] <keystr0k> Have any of you used a Thinkpad T400 with Ubuntu? I may be purchasing one... thought I'd ask...
[17:30] <genii> jim_p: Heh :)
[17:30] <webfarmer> it loading up my desktop... wait for it... okay now it loads up the window of a message box... the top title had dissapeared now, the message has dissapeared and it loading up a explorer window closing it, opening it... does this three or so times and then... nothing - all I can see is my dekstop background image and my mouse cursor which moves...
[17:30] <soundray> jim_p: no
[17:30] <Henning_> hello
[17:30] <piero-la-lune> hello, I have a problem. I done : sudo echo "id:6:initdefault:">/etc/inittab and now impossible to start. So y removed the file inittab but now I can't connect me. Can you help me please? (I do not speak English very well)
[17:30] <snova> MarquisDeSade: ask how to specify the intel driver
[17:30] <webfarmer> soundray: and yes this is when I do startx
[17:30] <MarquisDeSade> ok snova, thnx anyway
[17:30] <Henning_> Is there a specific IRC channel for Macintosh/Boot Camp users?
[17:30] <jim_p> hi genii
[17:30] <IntuitiveNipple> soundray webfarmer I'm going to guess that the gdmgreeter splash image has not upgraded/configured correctly. Try "sudo apt-get --reinstall install gdm"
[17:31] <soundray> webfarmer: your upgrade failed
[17:31] <atlef> keystr0k: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport
[17:31] <soundray> IntuitiveNipple: tried that ( webfarmer)
[17:31] <webfarmer> IntuitiveNipple we've done that fifteen times
[17:31] <jim_p> soundray: i leave it to you.
[17:31] <keystr0k> atlef, thanks!
[17:31] <IntuitiveNipple> webfarmer: Have you checked the free space on all disks using "df"
[17:31] <IntuitiveNipple> webfarmer: okay, sorry
[17:31] <webfarmer> yes
[17:31] <IntuitiveNipple> webfarmer: I wasn't following your progress earlier, so don't worry.
[17:32] <webfarmer> okay yea
[17:32] <soundray> jim_p: why? Your help is more than welcome. It's just in everybody's interest to keep it public.
[17:32] <atlef> keystr0k: you can also see here : http://www.linuxquestions.org/hcl/
[17:32] <snova> MarquisDeSade: i'm back, but i still don't know how to tell x to use the intel driver
[17:32] <Henning_> Can anyone point me into the direction of Boot Camp support?
[17:32] <IntuitiveNipple> right, so we've narrowed it down to about 3 files that can be fault... the ones gdmgreeter loads
[17:32] <IntuitiveNipple> give me a moment to figure out what they are from the source code
[17:32] <webfarmer> yea
[17:32] <Gnea> !pm | jim_p
[17:32] <soundray> Henning_: if you have a problem installing Ubuntu with Boot Camp, ask your question here.
[17:32] <MarquisDeSade> ok, snova, i found something on the net, you were helpfull :) http://www.intellinuxgraphics.org/download.html
[17:33] <keystr0k> atlef: thanks again!
[17:33] <jim_p> soundray: i want to keep it public too. but what happens if the procesude is long? i cant distinguish his messages among others!
[17:33] <Henning_> Soundray: It's not so much a problem, I'm just wondering where to find general instructions, such as at what point I can just put the CD in and reboot
[17:33] <soundray> jim_p: that's why I suggest going to #ubuntu-classroom
[17:33] <Henning_> I've set up boot camp and created the partition, can I just reformat that into reiserFS with the LiveCD?
[17:34] <CalvinDK> I have run lsusb and the winfast usb tv is on the bus 6 device 7
[17:34] <soundray> Henning_: you can format it with the live CD, but it's best to use ext3 rather than reiser
[17:34] <jim_p> soundray: what difference does it make to change to some other channel?
[17:34] <snova> MarquisDeSade: you shouldn't have to download another driver. it's probably already installed, just not being activated.
[17:35] <jim_p> CalvinDK: paste here the entire line that shows where that device is
[17:35] <Henning_> soundray: I was told reiser was "the shiznit", is that true? ext3 is so... default :)
[17:35] <soundray> jim_p: go to #ubuntu-classroom and you will understand why
[17:35] <CalvinDK> ok monemt
[17:35] <MarquisDeSade> snova, you i guess you're right...i'll just google it, somethin' will turn up
[17:35] <jim_p> total silence in #ubuntu-classroom
[17:35] <IntuitiveNipple> webfarmer: I'm reading the source-code now
[17:35] <soundray> Henning_: it's default for a reason.

[17:35] <soundray> jim_p: that's the point
[17:36] <webfarmer> IntuitiveNipple: My source code?
[17:36] <webfarmer> IntuitiveNipple: from where
[17:36] <soundray> CalvinDK: do not paste stuff here
[17:36] <soundray> !pastebin > CalvinDK
[17:36] <piero-la-lune> hello, I have a problem. I done : sudo echo "id:6:initdefault:">/etc/inittab. So I removed the file inittab but now I can't connect me. Can you help me please ?
[17:36] <Henning_> soundray: Okay, I'll use that then. So if I format the drive to ext3 and install Ubuntu, will it be available at startup as a boot option?
[17:36] <Zta> I'm trying to re-configure apache after I upgraded from 2.0 to 2.2.  My ServerName definition was removed from apache2.conf.  Where is it supposed to be defined?
[17:36] <snova> MarquisDeSade: i think you just change some particular field somewhere concerning drivers.
[17:36] <indian_munnda> can anyone tell me if there is any option for command $ mv which can avoid moving a particular file. Actually i want to move all files from a folder excluding 2 files.?????
[17:36] <bijoy> how do i mount my NTFS drive on startup...i have to goto places and mount it everytime
[17:36] <jim_p> CalvinDK: only that line that says about your adapter
[17:36] <MarquisDeSade> snova, http://www.google.com/search?q=mesa+945GME&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=com.ubuntu:en-US:unofficial&client=firefox-a , this is exactly my case
[17:36] <webfarmer> IntuitiveNipple be back in 5
[17:36] <soundray> Henning_: if you've done everything right, then yes. Is it a Macbook?
[17:37] <bastid_raZor> bijoy; add it to your /etc/fstab
[17:37] <Henning_> Soundray: No, this one is one of the recent iMacs. I suppose they're at least partially similar?
[17:37] <bijoy> how../
[17:37] <bijoy> ?
[17:37] <snova> MarquisDeSade: we already know that, i think. x is using the generic software driver. the question that i can't answer is how to make it use a different one.
[17:38] <snova> MarquisDeSade: i'm almost certain it isn't a major change.
[17:38] <mmcji> anyone know how to include a mounted harddrive in locatedb?
[17:38] <MarquisDeSade> snova, i think it has some command like, xorg reconfigure or so...
[17:38] <bastid_raZor> bijoy; get the UUID of the drive with sudo blkid
[17:38] <soundray> Henning_: probably. I installed Ubuntu on a Mac Pro and found the Gentoo wiki very helpful for the Boot Camp aspects of that project.
[17:38] <CalvinDK> http://paste.ubuntu.com/50554/
[17:38] <danbh_intrepid> mmcji: find might be a better tool
[17:38] <snova> MarquisDeSade: i know that 'dexconf' is the program to reconfigure x. but it might not give great results.
[17:38] <mmcji> i like find, it just takes so much longer
[17:39] <Nece228> gta san andreas lags with wine, i disabled pixel shade but the problem didnt gone, my video card is radeon 9600 pro 256 im using fglrx. in windows everythinks fine
[17:39] <soundray> Henning_: point is, have a look for installation reports on the web and pick-and-mix
[17:39] <Henning_> Soundray: Great! I'll try installing right now. Thanks for your help!
[17:39] <jim_p> CalvinDK: is it that Leadtek thing i see first?
[17:39] <mmcji> i used find for years before i learned about locate...hmmm nm on the locate, good idea i will just use find...thanks
[17:39] <MarquisDeSade> snova, my results are allready ungreat my friend :)
[17:40] <ja1> Hi! Question: Whenever I sudo a command from the terminal and want it run as a separate process, say "sudo gvim textfile.txt &", the program doesnt start up properly. I get it in the processes list (ps ax), marked with a T. I suspect that the terminal is waiting for me to enter the password for sudo'ing. Now, how should I avoid that, except by removing the & ?
[17:40] <bijoy> wats the command to see partitions?
[17:40] <snova> MarquisDeSade: good point. at least fglrx comes with tools to reconfigure it automatically, but i don't know if there are similar utilities for intel chips.
[17:40] <bastid_raZor> bijoy; and at the bottom the list in your /etc/fstab add it something similiar to this :: UUID=11cb5055-6fbb-48f9-98dd-ef04dab51d1b /mountpoint     NTFS    errors=remount-ro   0   2
[17:40] <comicinker> ja1: gksu command
[17:40] <bastid_raZor> bijoy; sudo fdisk -l
[17:40] <MarquisDeSade> snova, i'll just give it a shot
[17:40] <comicinker> maybe
[17:41] <IntuitiveNipple> soundray webfarmer The failure occurs in gui/greeter/greeter_parser.c line 1108 where it follows "if (info->data.pixmap.files[i] != NULL)" and tries to load a pixmap... so we nave to figure out where/how greeter gets its list of image files to load... one of them will likely be the culprit
[17:41] <indian_munnda> can anyone tell me if there is any option for command $ mv which can avoid moving a particular file. Actually i want to move all files from a folder excluding 2 files.?????
[17:41] <ja1> comicinker: Ok, thanks.
[17:41] <Henning_> Be right back, I'm installing Ubuntu!
[17:41] <soundray> CalvinDK: your device is supported by the em28xx driver, which comes standard with Ubuntu ( jim_p)
[17:41] <jim_p> perfect soundray , well done
[17:42] <IntuitiveNipple> soundray webfarmer clue: the file that lists the images is going to be an XML file

[17:42] <bijoy> i get something like tat
[17:42] <bijoy> no UUID
[17:43] <comicinker> how can I display all the environment variables which are set by export ENV ?
[17:43] <mryanbrown> damn
[17:43] <strAlan> can someone please help me mount this device http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=928924
[17:43] <snova> comicinker: with the 'env' command
[17:43] <bastid_raZor> bijoy; sudo blkid will give it to you for /dev/sdb1 .. i forget what the command is to look at just one partition
[17:43] <mryanbrown> so the maintenance man for the appts is coming soon and i need to get high and clean the smell up before he does
[17:43] <comicinker> tnaks
[17:44] <mryanbrown> so i decided id powerhit a bowl, biiiig mistake never coughed so hard in my life wish it was only tb
[17:44] <IntuitiveNipple> soundray webfarmer clue: /usr/share/gdm/themes/happygnome-list/GdmGreeterTheme.desktop leads to /usr/share/gdm/themes/happygnome/happygnome.xml
[17:44] <mryanbrown> mounting a usb drive should be the same as mounting a hdd
[17:45] <mryanbrown> you know /mount/hd?n /media/mountpoint
[17:45] <mryanbrown> what
[17:45] <mryanbrown> wait i am high now
[17:45] <mryanbrown> nice
[17:45] <mryanbrown> let me retype that
[17:45] <FloodBot1> mryanbrown: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[17:45] <mryanbrown> mount yourfshere /dev/hd?n /media/mountpoint
[17:46] <mryanbrown> or just w/o fs should work too

[17:47] <Roconda> ey, my left mouse button isn't working propperly. I have to press lots of times before I get any action.
[17:47] <Skyrail> For some reason when I have Firefox open (or a program using audio for that matter, e.g. Rythmbox) it locks other programs out of using the audio software (ALSA, OSS) for example when I have Firefox open and a run Sauerbraten I get no sound through the game, same with a test with Eve Online (when I use a system tests app through Eve it fails OSS and ALSA when Rythmbox/Firefox are open, however when the latter are closed they pass). I've no idea what to do :/
[17:47] <bastid_raZor> Nece228; you may need to ask in #winehq
[17:47] <IntuitiveNipple> webfarmer: please see this pastebin entry and repeat the command on the problem system, and compare the md5sum hashs - yours sohuld be identical to these: http://pastebin.com/d716ec893
[17:47] <impulsebsd> anyone recommend a decent torrent client that works with the majority of trackers? I find i love deluge, but it appears to be banned
[17:47] <bastid_raZor> !torrent | impulsebsd
[17:48] <impulsebsd> thx bastid
[17:48] <bastid_raZor> impulsebsd; i am a fan of Transmission and kTorrent
[17:48] <atlef> impulsebsd: +1 for transmission
[17:49] <lirui0073> how to Extract .lzma
[17:49] <impulsebsd> its really hard to pull away from utorrent, i was using that thru wine, but am annoyed at not being able to double click files, etc makes it hard to manage stuff
[17:49] <Ahmuck> what is the sound player in ubuntu?
[17:49] <jim_p> !vi
[17:49] <Roconda> ey, my left mouse button isn't working propperly. I have to press lots of times before I get any reaction.
[17:49] <[Solars]> does the live cd defualy install gnome or kde?
[17:49] <snova> lirui0073: the package is 'lzma', but i don't know what program specifically
[17:50] <atlef> [Solars]: ubuntu installs gnome
[17:50] <bastid_raZor> impulsebsd; tranmission is vastly different than uTorrent.. kTorrent resembles it a bit. in order to use kTorrent you'll have to snag about 80Meg of kde libraries
[17:50] <[Solars]> atlef thanks
[17:50] <snova> lirui0073: after you install it, run 'dpkg -L lzma | grep bin' and look for programs with 'un' in the name. that should do it.
[17:50] <atlef> [Solars]: kubuntu kde
[17:50] <Ahmuck> !mp3 player
[17:50] <obf213> hey does anyone kow why flash player is causing firefox to seg fault so much?
[17:51] <obf213> its really a nuisance
[17:51] <[Solars]> does ubuntu have tools for managing overclocked machines and monitoring heat and such
[17:51] <snova> obf213: try using a different player. i have no idea why, though.
[17:51] <snova> [Solars]: yes. i think the package might be called 'cpufrequtils' or something with 'freq' in the name.
[17:51] <obf213> snova, what do you use? I have tried unistalling firefox and flashplugin-nonfree many times
[17:52] <obf213> but it always seems to crash firefox a lot.
[17:52] <[Solars]> snova thanks
[17:52] <snova> obf213: reinstalling won't help much on ubuntu. i only just got a working internet connection, so i have no idea.
[17:52] <bastid_raZor> [Solars]; and hwmon will monitor temps.. you could use lm-sensors in conky .. ksensors xsensors.. many ways to monitor heat/temps
[17:52] <obf213> oh.
[17:52] <lirui0073> snova: thx
[17:52] <snova> obf213: you could always try a different browser, i guess.
[17:52] <sobersabre> hi is it complicated to install ARM toolchain for ubuntu 8.04 ?
[17:52] <tpg> flash player?
[17:53] <obf213> naw firefox has too many neccessary plugins
[17:53] <obf213> i think this a problem with flash and not firefox
[17:53] <tpg> i just installed it, with synaptic though, yesterday i did it on the flash player website but it crashed on youtube
[17:53] <sobersabre> are there ready to use .debs ?
[17:53] <tpg> now it works fine, with Sound unlike yesterday
[17:53] <jim_p> sobersabre: yes
[17:53] <[Solars]> bastid_raZor kewl beans... question is can you make it part of the "background/wallpaper" :) so i don't ahve to keep loading up apps to monitor
[17:53] <Ahmuck> what is the default mp3 player in *untu?
[17:53] <sobersabre> jim_p: yes what ?
[17:53] <jim_p> sobersabre: my mistake, i didnt see your previous question
[17:53] <[Solars]> suppose i could just use applets
[17:54] <carandraug> Ahmuck, I think it's rhytmbox
[17:54] <snova> sobersabre: i don't think so. at least, i can't see any. i'm not even 100% sure ubuntu runs on arm.
[17:54] <indian_munnda> can anyone tell me how to install *.bin files??
[17:54] <snova> sobersabre: if all else fails, you might have to build a cross-compiler yourself.
[17:54] <bastid_raZor> [Solars]; conky is perfect for that then. you can add it to the widget layer. i use conky with hwmon to do just that.
[17:55] <snova> indian_munnda: it's probably a shell script.
[17:55] <tyberion> hey
[17:55] <indian_munnda> atlef: can you tell me how to install .bin files
[17:55] <snova> indian_munnda: or a self-extracting archive.
[17:55] <tyberion> how can I search for binary files? .. e.g. where fluxbox binaries are located?
[17:55] <snova> indian_munnda: you probably just run it.
[17:55] <[Solars]> last question for awhile ... Does ubuntu adjust for the amount ram available or do you have to pass that infomation on?
[17:55] <atlef> indian_munnda: nope, sorry
[17:55] <snova> tyberion: binaries are located in /usr/bin
[17:55] <indian_munnda> snova: you mean i just need to do $ sh *.bin
[17:55] <bastid_raZor> tyberion; which filename   .. more than likely in /usr/bin/ or /usr/local/bin
[17:55] <[Solars]> bastid_raZor awsome deal, might bug you a bit more once i get my system installed :P
[17:55] <carandraug> tyberion, run "whereis binaty_name" in the terminal
[17:56] <snova> indian_munnda: don't do that, it might not be a shell script. just make sure that it's executable and run it.
[17:56] <bastid_raZor> [Solars]; sure, conky is fairly easy to work with once you figure out all that you want it to display
[17:56] <indian_munnda> snova: shall i do $ ./*.bin
[17:56] <snova> indian_munnda: that should do it.
[17:56] <indian_munnda> snova: ok doing that now
[17:57] <sobersabre> snova: I didn't want ubuntu to run on ARM, I want to be able to build ARM execs and libs on ubuntu machine.
[17:57] <bastid_raZor> [Solars]; i'm in and out all day long. #conky is very helpful too. they are a bit slow to answer but they have never failed to give me correct answers
[17:57] <sobersabre> is there a crosscompiling related channel on freenode ?
[17:57] <snova> sobersabre: you need a cross compiler. i don't see any packages for them, so you might end up building one.
[17:58] <[Solars]> bastid_raZor erm besides temps, thinking possbility disk space infomation used/avail, uptime, various stuff as long as it doens't take too much resources
[17:58] <jittopjose> hello friends
[17:58] <snova> sobersabre: just google it- i don't think gcc is really difficult to build like that, though it takes a long time.
[17:58] <jittopjose> my microphone is not working
[17:58] <bastid_raZor> [Solars]; all those are very simple and easy. i have all of those in my current conkyrc
[17:58] <sobersabre> I am more concerned about all the libs, stuff line libstdc++, etc.
[17:59] <Ghost21> I'm trying to install vmware but it keeps saying "/usr/bin/gcc" version "4.3" is less then your compiled version of 4.3.1 ?
[17:59] <tpg> hello, anyone has any experience regarding Wine 1.0?
[17:59] <jittopjose> am using gigabite M60 mother board
[17:59] <jittopjose> plz help me
[17:59] <bastid_raZor> [Solars]; once you start getting into cpu graphs you tend to eat more resources
[17:59] <snova> sobersabre: some libraries are part of gcc and g++, but the c library is separate.
[17:59] <indian_munnda> snova: that is not working
[17:59] <snova> indian_munnda: what's the error message?
[17:59] <snova> sobersabre: some libraries are part of gcc and g++, but the c library is separate.
[18:00] <jittopjose> this microphone works perfectly in windows

[18:01] <IntuitiveNipple> soundray: do you know if webfarmer reinstalled human-theme ?
[18:01] <bastid_raZor> [Solars]; it is best to do windows install first then ubuntu.
[18:01] <[Solars]> tried installing ubuntu first .. seems i messed soemthing up (i want it on last disk but without writing to boot partition)
[18:01] <iso> if i install something from source, can i tell it to put everything in /usr/ instead of /usr/local?
[18:01] <[Solars]> bastid_raZor thats what i just figured out :P
[18:01] <comicinker> how can I set the language of o program? I tried to set LANG by setting export LANG=de_DE before executing, however it had no result. The language packs are available
[18:01] <snova> indian_munnda: what are you doing? i don't know how tar is getting mixed up in this. it's just a program- you run it and it installs itself, or it should.
[18:02] <jittopjose> any idea about mic problem in hardy
[18:02] <jittopjose> in gigabyte M60
[18:02] <babaklinux> how can I kill a process?
[18:02] <bastid_raZor> iso; you could just move the file once it is installed
[18:02] <snova> babaklinux: 'killall process-name'
[18:02] <jittopjose> plz help...
[18:02] <snova> babaklinux: or 'kill process-id'
[18:02] <Stopped> italian??
[18:02] <IntuitiveNipple> comicinker: Try export LANG=de_DE.UTF-8
[18:02] <babaklinux> snova: how can I find that's id?
[18:03] <indian_munnda> snova: see this is the complete error message http://paste.ubuntu.com/50562/
[18:03] <snova> babaklinux: 'pidof process-name'
[18:03] <Skiessi> Stopped, #ubuntu-it
[18:03] <snova> babaklinux: but it's easier to use 'killall program-name'
[18:04] <mozzyb> Does anyone know why my emacs won't read the .pl file unless i byte-compile-load it?
[18:04] <iso> bastid_raZor: it drops an /etc/ folder in /local as well. just seems like there has to be a better way
[18:04] <snova> babaklinux: if it doesn't work, add -KILL to the arguments. processes can't ignore that no matter what.
[18:04] <indian_munnda> snova: did u saw that?
[18:04] <snova> indian_munnda: oh! i know! it's probably because of the space in the directory name. sometimes that screws things up.
[18:04] <[Solars]> bastid_raZor just installing windows has been a problem for me, have to slipstream drivers and the activiation key I had written down as back was copied incorrectly :/
[18:04] <sobersabre> snova: thanks.
[18:04] <Dafodil> hallo
[18:04] <snova> indian_munnda: run it from somewhere else.

[18:05] <lirui0073> snova: sorry i want to extract texlive
[18:05] <bastid_raZor> iso; there is, let me find the info you need.
[18:05] <tyberion> hmm, what package do I need to install for getting imlib2 stuff to get compiled?
[18:05] <lirui0073> snova: sorry i want to extract texlive.iso.lzma
[18:05] <bastid_raZor> [Solars]; best of luck with windows and WGA :\
[18:05] <ra21vi> I have a ubuntu server, which has direct Internet connextion. Other systems are under ISA, so i want my this ubuntu as proxy for another Ubuntu pcs, how is it possible? is there any proxy server which I can install, config
[18:05] <snova> lirui0073: how big is it?
[18:05] <indian_munnda> snova: it is a 7 mb bin file and directory is having 860 mb of free space.
[18:05] <[Solars]> bastid_raZor WGA?
[18:06] <snova> lirui0073: ok, just checking. because iso files are usually cd images.
[18:06] <lirui0073> i already install 7zip
[18:06] <snova> lirui0073: run 'unlzma texlive.iso.lzma' to decompress it
[18:06] <bastid_raZor> [Solars]; Windows Genuine Authentication
[18:06] <lirui0073> but dont work
[18:06] <snova> lirui0073: 7zip is not lzma
[18:06] <vito56> !list
[18:06] <[Solars]> bastid_raZor ahh that, yea no idea if I am going to get winxp64pro installed or not
[18:06] <snova> lirui0073: 7zip uses lzma as it's primary compression algorithm, but it's not the same.
[18:07] <snova> lirui0073: you need to install the 'lzma' package if it isn't already.
[18:07] <lirui0073> o
[18:07] <indian_munnda> snova: any ideas?
[18:07] <lirui0073> i try
[18:07] <soundray> IntuitiveNipple: no I don't -- was afk for a while
[18:08] <ra21vi> indian_munnda: aman?
[18:08] <snova> lirui0073: indian_munnda: sorry if i don't make sense, i'm getting confused by helping two people at once.
[18:08] <jareth_>  /exit
[18:08] <jareth_> exit
[18:08] <webfarmer> IntuitiveNipple ok back
[18:08] <snova> indian_munnda: i'm 99% certain the problem is that the directory you are running it in has a space in the name. move it to somewhere that doesn't, and try again from there.
[18:09] <webfarmer> u there
[18:09] <Skyrail> I want multiple applications to be able to output audio (say Rythmbox and a game) at the same time. At the moment only one works and the other doesn't. I've no idea what is using what, whether it be ALSA, OSS or Pulseaudio (wherever that comes into the equation) so any help would be appreciated (I've checked the sound troubleshooting page...and to be honest it's rather useless)
[18:09] <soundray> CalvinDK: how are you getting on?
[18:09] <snova> lirui0073: to decompress .lzma files, you need the 'lzma' package, which contains 'unlzma' inside of it, the decompression program.
[18:09] <icedwater> Speaking of which: why are all three in use, and do I need three of them?
[18:10] <Roconda> hi, I reinstallerd nautilus by synpatic and now isn't my left mouse button working very well
[18:10] <indian_munnda> ra21vi: yup dude its me

[18:10] <zigzags> anyone know how I remote connect to a computer that is behind a router? i know the internal 192.168.0.* IP of the computer, and also the external IP that the router gives it.  my guess is that its somethin like connecting to '49.211.223.(hidden)//192.168.0.102'
[18:11] <ra21vi> indian_munnda: good, whats the problem/
[18:11] <danbh_intrepid> Skyrail: try opening gstreamer-properties and switching to alsa
[18:11] <jim_p> Roconda: why reinstall nautilus? the mouse not working issue may be related to xorg?
[18:11] <IntuitiveNipple> Skrail: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=789578
[18:11] <danbh_intrepid> zigzags: I think the router has to allow it too...
[18:12] <MOzartstaedter> hi
[18:12] <zigzags> do you think maybe i connect to a certain port, and have the router forward that port to the internal IP
[18:12] <pavani> ./join #forit lahari
[18:12] <lirui0073> snova: i check it,in SYNAPTIC already exist lzma package

[18:12] <snova> lirui0073: than run 'unlzma texlive.iso.lzma' to decompress the file
[18:12] <IntuitiveNipple> zigzags: The router has to be configured by its adminstrator to port-forward , or to do NAT

[18:13] <webfarmer> IntuitiveNipple: I'm back, ok so that pastebin that you gave me... do I need those files on my system?
[18:13] <Skyrail> Thanks IntuitiveNipple and danbh_intrepid, I'll be sure to check it out :)
[18:13] <Roconda> snova: but howto reconfigure my mouse ?
[18:13] <IntuitiveNipple> webfarmer: ignore that pastebin, I discovered more since I suggested that
[18:13] <snova> lirui0073: chances are, this is a cd image. you need to mount it as if it were a normal cd drive to access the files in it (after decompression)
[18:14] <snova> Roconda: i have no idea.
[18:14] <bastid_raZor> iso; i'm fairly sure you'll need to put this when you run the configure --libexecdir=/usr/bin/
[18:14] <snova> lirui0073: create a directory to mount it on, via 'mkdir texlive'
[18:14] <webfarmer> IntuitiveNipple okay. so whats my action list look like? what do I do :)
[18:14] <lirui0073> ok  it works
[18:14] <zigzags> IntuitiveNipple: ok thanks I willbe able to do it once I get home im pretty sure i can figure out the port forwarding stuff ive had to do somethin similar to get torrent programs and /ctcp to work
[18:14] <lirui0073> thx  snova
[18:14] <snova> lirui0073: then run 'sudo mount -o loop -t iso9660 texlive.iso texlive' and you should be able to see the files in 'texlive'
[18:14] <ra21vi> indian_munnda: ok,  download the rpm version, sudo apt-get install alien and use alien to conver the rpm into deb, then using dpkg install the deb
[18:14] <TopBunny88> For som reason Rythmbox doesnt seem to work properly (I,E, I launch it and then it autommatically quits.
[18:15]  * [Solars] sighs
[18:15] <[Solars]> it takes too long to format 1TB
[18:15] <IntuitiveNipple> webfarmer: From the source code of greeter, what is happening is that greeter reads an XML file that defines, amongst other things, the image filenames used in the greeter. It then tries to load those images into memory. The fault you're getting is caused because one of those files is somehow corrupted, and has a zero width. I *think* it is one of the files in the package human-theme
[18:15] <ra21vi> indian_munnda: else, if you try with sudo,  you will most probably get the mozilla recognized. also, try $ file ./filename.tar to know about the file. maybe it is dowbloaded corrupt
[18:16] <IntuitiveNipple> webfarmer: So, have you tried sudo apt-get --reinstall human-theme
[18:16] <webfarmer> no
[18:16] <ra21vi> TopBunny88: ok, in terminal window, gnome-terminal, exec rythembox and hunt the error
[18:16] <indian_munnda> ra21vi: i have also dwnloaded another format which i unable to setup it is .tar.gz format
[18:16] <IntuitiveNipple> webfarmer: give it a try, no promises though

[18:17] <indian_munnda> ra21vi: ok doing that now
[18:18] <TopBunny88> ra21vi: No go exec: rythembox:
[18:18] <sysdoc> formode: did you set up the email account in evolution first? Then you can export the contacts to a file then import into evolution
[18:18] <ra21vi> indian_munnda: one more thing. I hope that  is not the problem though, the dir name is "Mozilla Downloads", just get the bin file in Desktop
[18:19] <MOzartstaedter> do i need any special version of ubuntu for an amd quad core??? a 64 bit version or something like that?
[18:19] <ra21vi> I mean to say in dir without spaces in filename
[18:19] <TopBunny88> ra21vi:  bash: Exec rtyhembox  not found
[18:19] <indian_munnda> ra21vi: i can't do that noe, it too late.
[18:19] <formode> sysdoc, I have an email account set up, but I exported a vcard from Address Book on the mac, and Ubuntu cannot open it.
[18:19] <webfarmer> IntuitiveNipple dude if you got this - you are a bloody ledgend!
[18:19] <indian_munnda> ra21vi: i have deleted the file
[18:19] <snova> indian_munnda: i'm almost certain that it's the space. not all programs handle it correctly.
[18:19] <webfarmer> IntuitiveNipple nope
[18:19] <atlef> MOzartstaedter: you do not need 64, but if you have 4gb or more of ram i would suggest it
[18:19] <snova> do kde4 packages still install into /usr/lib/kde4? does anybody know?
[18:20] <ra21vi> TopBunny88: uhh, no just in shell, type rhythmbox
[18:20] <IntuitiveNipple> webfarmer: ok... it was an easy test... let me check something else
[18:20] <webfarmer> k
[18:20] <MOzartstaedter> atlef: yes, its a new pc with 8gb ram ...
[18:20] <formode> topbunny88, You spelled Rthythmbox wrong. :)
[18:20] <atlef> MOzartstaedter: then get 64bit
[18:20] <snova> oh, never mind. packages.ubuntu.com can show file lists.
[18:20] <formode> topbunny88, So did it. :-P
[18:20] <MOzartstaedter> atlef: ook =)
[18:20] <MOzartstaedter> thx
[18:20] <IntuitiveNipple> webfarmer: okay, we're going back to my pastebin request:
[18:21] <IntuitiveNipple> webfarmer: please see this pastebin entry and repeat the command on the problem system, and compare the md5sum hashs - yours should be identical to these: http://pastebin.com/d716ec893
[18:21] <webfarmer> IntuitiveNipple ok so where do I get those files from?
[18:21] <IntuitiveNipple> webfarmer: run the command on line 1 of the pastebin
[18:22] <Skyrail> IntuitiveNipple: many thanks, it works now :D thank you!
[18:22] <webfarmer> IntuitiveNipple what do I just copy and paste each line into the terminal? I don't know what you mean?
[18:22] <IntuitiveNipple> Skyrail: great!
[18:22] <IntuitiveNipple> webfarmer: no, just the first line. The other lines are the results you should see.
[18:22] <ra21vi> indian_munnda: realplayer insataller is working fine on my Ubuntu, It installed without any problem. I think your download was corrupt
[18:22] <webfarmer> for file in $(ls -1 /usr/share/gdm/themes/happygnome-list/);?
[18:23] <indian_munnda> ra21vi: where i can get rpm packages
[18:23] <IntuitiveNipple> webfarmer: The hash values generated by md5sum should be identical to those listed in the pastebin, so compare your results with those
[18:23] <indian_munnda> ra21vi: may be
[18:23] <atlef> !rpm | indian_munnda:
[18:23] <IntuitiveNipple> webfarmer: ALL of line 1
[18:23] <ra21vi> indian_munnda: check it http://paste.ubuntu.com/50565/
[18:23] <webfarmer> IntuitiveNipple: sorry bud I don't know what you mean?
[18:24] <IntuitiveNipple> Copy all of line 1 in the pastebin and paste it into a terminal, and run it
[18:24] <webfarmer> IntuitiveNipple: so this line for file in $(ls -1 /usr/share/gdm/themes/happygnome-list/); do md5sum /usr/share/gdm/themes/happygnome-list/$file; done
[18:24] <IntuitiveNipple> webfarmer: yes
[18:24] <indian_munnda> ra21vi: yup u were right
[18:25] <IntuitiveNipple> webfarmer: The results you get on your system should be *identical* to what is in the pastebin - the hash-values are unique based on the contents of each file
[18:25] <outstanding> ldvx wenas
[18:25] <IntuitiveNipple> webfarmer: so if those files on your system differ from the files on mine, the hash-values will be different
[18:25] <emorris> hi, how do i disable the root account?
[18:26] <unop> webfarmer, it's not a good idea to use ls like that
[18:26] <indian_munnda> ra21vi: where to get a rpm package
[18:26] <TopBunny88> ra21vi:  Still no go even after removing an reinstall the package for rythm box

[18:26] <TopBunny88> rhythmbox
[18:26] <unop>  for file in /usr/share/gdm/themes/happygnome-list/*; do md5sum /usr/share/gdm/themes/happygnome-list/"$file"; done
[18:26] <unop> webfarmer, ^^
[18:27] <IntuitiveNipple> unop: It works, and gets the results we need.
[18:27] <snova> emorris: i think it's disabled by default.
[18:27] <indian_munnda> ra21vi: i have installed alien
[18:27] <emorris> snova: it is, but i enabled it
[18:27] <snova> emorris: the passwd command does it, i think.
[18:27] <webfarmer> IntuitiveNipple they are the same
[18:27] <unop> IntuitiveNipple, it's not safe - and isn't guaranteed to work 100% of the time.
[18:28] <snova> emorris: i did the same thing you did once, but have forgotten the details.
[18:28] <webfarmer> IntuitiveNipple different file names same hash
[18:28] <IntuitiveNipple> webfarmer: okay, thats good in one way, but doesn't help us figure out which image is faulty!
[18:28] <IntuitiveNipple> different file names?
[18:28] <webfarmer> how do I output this result to pastebin
[18:28] <emorris> snova: you just do sudo passwd
[18:28] <Babbleback> how do i turn off the sound that plays after the usplash and just as the login screen appears
[18:28] <ra21vi> indian_munnda: alien -dv ./realplayerpackagename.rpm
[18:28] <IntuitiveNipple> webfarmer: are you using pastebinit ?
[18:28] <unop> webfarmer, you can use pastebinit.
[18:29] <webfarmer> IntuitiveNipple I have it installed?
[18:29] <snova> emorris: i think it's an option. check the manpage, i guess.
[18:29] <emorris> snova: got it https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo#root%20account
[18:29] <TalioGladius> anyone have a download link for intrepid ibex?  ISO links are bad here: http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/intrepid/alpha1
[18:29] <GeForce88> what is the abi codec for 8.04 ?
[18:29] <snova> emorris: i just found out too: passwd --lock
[18:30] <IntuitiveNipple> webfarmer: I think you were using pastebinit earlier, weren't you?
[18:30] <webfarmer> IntuitiveNipple yea
[18:30] <TopBunny88> ra21vi: No matter how  hard or what ever I try i can't seem to get rythmbox to work
[18:30] <star-affinity> on a HPG300 laptop, if i have problems with waking from sleep mode, what can be done? i get to the dialog that prompts for password and the cureor is blinking, but i can
[18:30] <IntuitiveNipple> webfarmer: In that case just add to the end of that command-line this:  | pastebinit
[18:30] <GeForce88> !avi | GeForce88
[18:31] <webfarmer> IntuitiveNipple I was, so would I put after done | pastebinit? or something- I've been using ubuntu for 2 months... I donno what all this is
[18:31] <IntuitiveNipple> webfarmer: you got it :)
[18:31] <star-affinity> can't move the mouse or type anything (sorry, i pressed enter prematurely)
[18:31] <blinkiz_home> I need help configurating dynamic dns. I cant get it to work. Am following this guide and get stuck when testing with nsupdate. I get SERVFAIL every time. http://www.chrissearle.org/blog/technical/converting_existing_bind9_and_dhcpd_dynamic_dns
[18:31] <webfarmer> ok http://pastebin.com/f53955db5
[18:31] <IntuitiveNipple> webfarmer: that 'pipes' the output of the commands via standard output (stdout) to pastebinit's standard input (stdin)
[18:31] <tpg> Could anyone help with a problem with Wine?
[18:32] <webfarmer> dude pastebin rocks
[18:32] <jordo2323> How do I find where a symbolic link points to?
[18:32] <madmartian> click on it?
[18:32] <outstanding> :P
[18:32] <madmartian> or ls -l
[18:32] <webfarmer> IntuitiveNipple ok so now you understand what it looks like
[18:32] <Alexia_Death> Hello. Im running intrepid and since the latest firefox update I no longer get sound from FF
[18:32] <atlef> tpg: have you tried in #wine?
[18:32] <tpg> no
[18:32] <comicinker> jordo2323: in the file properties or in the terminal by ls -l
[18:33] <Alexia_Death> Any suggestions?
[18:33] <IntuitiveNipple> webfarmer: Those filenames are identical, and the hash values are good too
[18:33] <atlef> tpg: well, this is the ubuntu channel, but you can always ask
[18:33] <dragon33> greetings, can someone recommend a good ftp client?  something similar to cuteftp, and has a gui? thanks
[18:33] <IntuitiveNipple> webfarmer: So, we need to figure out how to get gdmgreeter to give us a clue as to what image file it is that is giving it the problem
[18:33] <comicinker> Alexia_Death: no support for intrepid here
[18:33] <tpg> ok, i guess ill go to the #wine channel, thanks ;)
[18:33] <snova> dragon33: if you're using kde, konqueror can browse them as if they were local directories.
[18:33] <Alexia_Death> comicinker: where then?
[18:34] <bastid_raZor> !intrpid
[18:34] <bastid_raZor> !intrepid
[18:34] <webfarmer> IntuitiveNipple okay captain so what do I do?
[18:34] <Alexia_Death> thanks
[18:34] <indian_munnda> ra21vi: i did that wat you gave me but it just created a deb file
[18:34] <dragon33> snova, i'm using plain jane vanilla ubuntu.. hehe
[18:34] <snova> dragon33: oh well. search the package manager, i guess.
[18:35] <dragon33> ok, thx
[18:35] <indian_munnda> ra21vi: shall i do $ dpkg -i realplayer.deb ????
[18:35] <ra21vi> yup
[18:35] <ra21vi> indian_munnda: use Sudo
[18:35] <indian_munnda> ok
[18:35] <webfarmer> IntuitiveNipple why can't we just overwrite those files with a fresh copy?
[18:36] <IntuitiveNipple> webfarmer: I'm leaning towards wanting to monitor the files the process opens. There are three ways to do that. The thing is, they'll generate a *lot* of output, more than pastebinit might handle. If the output is written to a file, can you copy that file from the problem system to the one you're on now, and then attach it to a post in ubuntu forums?
[18:36] <IntuitiveNipple> webfarmer: Those files are fine; we have still got to locate  the problem file(s)
[18:37] <webfarmer> ok so tell me what to do in the terminal
[18:37] <webfarmer> does this kernel pickup the network?
[18:37] <IntuitiveNipple> is it on a wired or wireless connection?
[18:37] <webfarmer> can't I just output the file to a different machine all together?
[18:37] <TopBunny88>   Can i download a amd64bit kernel and custom coml;pileit?
[18:37] <webfarmer> wired
[18:37] <webfarmer> direct wire
[18:38] <IntuitiveNipple> okay, so you can log-in to it remotely (from another PC) ?
[18:38] <webfarmer> all the other machines are windows based - can't I just access them smb://?
[18:38] <webfarmer> something like that
[18:38] <indian_munnda> ra21vi: it has setted up realplayer but not running it on typing realplayer on the terminal and even there is no icon for it anywhere
[18:39] <snova> indian_munnda: are you installing it from a .deb package?
[18:39] <blinkiz_home> I need help configuring Dynamic DNS updates. Here is my named.conf.local: http://blinkiz.pastebin.com/d88a995e . I have restarted bind9 and now trying to make an update with nsupdate. But it don't work: http://blinkiz.pastebin.com/d25b7a2c6 . Anyone here know how bind9 works? Maybe help me? :)
[18:39] <Fazer2> how can I properly create a news user with separete folder in /home ?
[18:39] <Fazer2> new user
[18:40] <indian_munnda> snova: i have converted a rpm package into debian package using alien and then installed
[18:40] <webfarmer> IntuitiveNipple: all of the other computers are windows, is it still possible to access them through linus?
[18:40] <webfarmer> IntuitiveNipple: all of the other computers are windows, is it still possible to access them through linux?
[18:40] <snova> indian_munnda: run 'dpkg -L realplayer | grep bin', assuming the package was called 'realplayer'. if there was a number attached to the end, modify it appropriately.
[18:40] <simNIX> one paste would help ;)
[18:40] <snova> indian_munnda: that'll tell you where the binaries are.
[18:41] <jordo2323> If I want to remove a cron job from cron.daily do I just delete the file in the directory or is there something else that I have to do?
[18:41] <crushy> is there any way to forward port from host to guest pc
[18:41] <snova> Fazer2: either use a graphical user manager, or the 'passwd' command. i don't know exactly how either way, though.
[18:41] <indian_munnda> snova: ra21vi: see this is the message http://paste.ubuntu.com/50571/
[18:42] <babaklinux> snova: I want kill this error FD 9: fd_dvr DEMUX DEVICE: : Device or resource busy
[18:42] <simNIX> Fazer2, is useradd what you are looking for ?
[18:42] <snova> indian_munnda: allright. run 'dpkg -L realplayer | grep bin' to find out where it put the program.
[18:42] <Fazer2> snova: I created a user with gui, created a new folder "test" in /home, then I tried to log in and instantly I was logged off
[18:43] <crushy> how to forward port from pc to virtual machine in ubuntu
[18:43] <crushy> :(
[18:43] <indian_munnda> snova: its showing this path /opt/real/RealPlayer/realplay.bin
[18:43] <snova> Fazer2: i have no idea why, but somebody else will know more than me.
[18:43] <Fazer2> there was an error "your session was shorter than 100 seconds"
[18:43] <Fazer2> "10 seconds", not 100
[18:44] <snova> indian_munnda: ok, then that's where the program is. run it as that, /opt/real/RealPlayer/realplay.bin
[18:44] <Fazer2> simNIX: I used useradd earlier
[18:44] <indian_munnda> snova: its running
[18:44] <blue-frog> Fazer2: did you give the user a home folder?
[18:44] <simNIX> Fazer2, then pls elaberate what goes wrong
[18:44] <snova> indian_munnda: great! you might have to add shortcuts and things manually.
[18:44] <indian_munnda> snova: thanks
[18:45] <indian_munnda> snova: i'll do that
[18:45] <dergringo> Hi. is ther a gnome 2.24 repo for hardy?
[18:45] <crushy> anyway to forward port from host to guest pc :-/
[18:45] <snova> dergringo: search for gnome in the package manager, and look at the version numbers.
[18:45] <indian_munnda> snova: thank thank you very much and ra21vi you too
[18:45] <crushy> anybody? or no one want to help ?
[18:45] <Fazer2> blue-frog: I created a folder "test" in /home, do I have to do something more?
[18:45] <node357> !iptables | crushy
[18:45] <blue-frog> Fazer2: what is the name of your user?
[18:45] <simNIX> Fazer2, did you cat /etc/passwd|grep thatusersname to see if home is set correct and did you ls -l /home|grep thatuser to see if user owns the home dir
[18:46] <snova> Fazer2: i think useradd is supposed to create that folder automatically for you.
[18:46] <dergringo> snova, it's in the stable? cool.
[18:46] <node357> you need iptables crushy, but unfortunately I don't know how to use it
[18:46] <blue-frog> snova: no, you need to give -m for the home to be created
[18:47] <DM|> Anyone know a solution to long boot times (complains of ATA:1 and stuff )
[18:47] <atlef> Fazer2: have you tried to use the Users And Groups in the menu?
[18:47] <Fazer2> arkadiusz@arkadiusz-hardy:~ -> cat /etc/passwd|grep test
[18:47] <Fazer2> test:x:1001:1001:test,,,,:/home/test:/bin/sh
[18:47] <simNIX> Fazer2, also I wonder if you set a shell for that user - should be visible in the cat /etc/passwd
[18:47] <simNIX> /etc/passwd looks ok
[18:47] <simNIX> what did ls -l gave on the home dir ?
[18:48] <blue-frog> Fazer2: that leaves the owner of /home/test
[18:48] <Fazer2> arkadiusz@arkadiusz-hardy:~ -> ls -l /home|grep test
[18:48] <Fazer2> drwxr-xr-x  2 root      root      4096 2008-09-25 19:36 test
[18:48] <bytor4232> ive always edited /etc/passwd and changed sh to bash
[18:48] <snova> DM|: i think there are several tips around, try googling for them.
[18:48] <simNIX> do a chown test /home/test
[18:48] <simNIX> and retry login
[18:48] <Fazer2> ok
[18:48] <blue-frog> bytor4232: if you use GUI or adduser, it will be bash by defalt
[18:48] <simNIX> maybe also do a chmod 700 on the dir to close it down but it should work without
[18:49] <bytor4232> blue-frog:  that would explain it.  ive always used useradd
[18:49] <node357> gah, I had no idea that article on iptables was so confusing
[18:49] <blue-frog> bytor4232: then you need to tweak useradd to put bash by default
[18:50] <bastid_raZor> iso; i was wrong.. you need to do --prefix=/usr/bin on the configure
[18:50] <Scitz0> compiling a new kernel, what processor family should i choose for a phenom cpu?
[18:50] <crushy> any way to forward port from host to guest pc in ubuntu
[18:50] <DM|> snova i have, no one seems to know, been trying to solve it for weeks on and off
[18:50] <crushy> :-ss
[18:50] <node357> sorry crushy :(
[18:50] <DM|> snova they all suggest the same damn thing like its new information
[18:50] <crushy> hmm
[18:50] <bastid_raZor> iso; i found this info by doing ./configure --help | less
[18:50] <node357> maybe google for forwarding with iptables
[18:50] <crushy> its ok node:(
[18:51] <snova> DM|: what, ATA problems? i thought you were trying to speed up boot time.
[18:51] <snova> DM|: in the case of hd troubles, i have no clue what to do.
[18:51] <creeed> hello, I'm a newbie, I wanna upgrade from Gutsy to Hordy without changing device settings!
[18:51] <Hydromethod> google "easy iptable generator"
[18:51] <TopBunny98> i have decided to convert all of my itunes Library to mp3 using a freeware program for os X called switch.
[18:51] <bastid_raZor> !upgrade | creeed
[18:52] <DM|> snova boot hangs for about 30-45 seconds complaining of ATA:1 stuff, and then continues, boot takes about 2-5 mins
[18:52] <creeed> thanks bastid_raZor
[18:52] <indian_munnda> ra21vi: i have installed nero linux 3 trail, can i get its key some where???

[18:52] <bastid_raZor> indian_munnda; if you buy it.
[18:52] <ra21vi> indian_munnda: buy it
[18:52] <DM|> indian_munnda that would be stealing.
[18:52] <ra21vi> indian_munnda: ok use free one
[18:52] <Fazer2> ok, now the user "test" works
[18:52] <TopBunny98> indian_munnda: Just pay for it and stop steeliong software

[18:53] <ra21vi> indian_munnda: what happened to the realplayer
[18:53] <Babbleback> how do i turn off the sound that plays after the usplash and just as the login screen appears
[18:53] <indian_munnda> ra21vi: i installed it corectly as you said
[18:53] <snova> DM|: ouch :-(. but i won't be much use to you. i don't even know what kind of hd i have.
[18:53] <Fazer2> basically I want that user to have the same rights as I do
[18:53] <ra21vi> indian_munnda: is it playing
[18:53] <Hydromethod> does anyone know how to setup grub to have nice picture for the menu the way lilo does for slackware?
[18:53] <DM|> lol k snova
[18:53] <indian_munnda> yup
[18:53] <mkquist> indian_munnda: why do you need nero?
[18:54] <node357> Babbleback: maybe here http://www.tech-recipes.com/rx/2736/ubuntu_disable_startup_sound
[18:54] <node357> then again maybe not...
[18:54] <node357> lol I suck
[18:54] <bastid_raZor> Babbleback; goto administration>login window> the tab accessibility
[18:54] <indian_munnda> mkquist: i was using it in windows thats why i thought to use it here too
[18:54] <osmosis> dpkg -l | grep django    shows a django package, but apt-get remove says its already removed. How come?   rc  python-django                         0.96-1ubuntu0.1
[18:54] <Hydromethod> !grub picture
[18:54] <indian_munnda> mkquist: i am really sorry, i won't do that again
[18:55] <bastid_raZor> indian_munnda; why not try k3b or brasero
[18:55] <Hydromethod> !upsplash
[18:55] <mkquist> indian_munnda: linux/ubuntu has so many other was to do the same easy...
[18:55] <osmosis> what does 'rc'  mean , compared to 'ii'   with dpkg -l
[18:55] <simNIX> Fazer2, im not sure what couses that - maybe ls -al /home/test and see if mabe config dirs are stil owned by root ?
[18:55] <bastid_raZor> !usplash > Hydromethod
[18:55] <blue-frog> Fazer2: use the users and groups GUI and give your user the same rights
[18:55] <Hydromethod> thanks
[18:55] <indian_munnda> bastid_raZor: mkquist: yup i will try that
[18:55] <Fazer2> blue-frog: thanks
[18:56] <mkquist> Hydromethod: its in /boot/grub/menu.lst
[18:56] <CostaRicanQuaker> help, for some reason when i open a file on abiword or openoffice and i try to alter it, nothing will type...as in no characters appear when typing, what's the problem?
[18:56] <simNIX> if I install with regular users user1; the user1 can sudo. If I want a user2 to be able to do so also do I then only add that user to sudoers or should user2 also be member of wheel group ?
[18:56] <Babbleback> bastid_raZor, thanks it was under the accessibility tab
[18:57] <mkquist> Hydromethod: there is a line called splash-image
[18:57] <blue-frog> simNIX: either the user in sudoers or memeber of "admin" group
[18:57] <[Solars]> its been 45 mins since i started to format my drive and its only 39% done!
[18:57] <simNIX> ok - ty
[18:57] <TopBunny98> simNIX: Is it safe to reve gnome and converte a Ubuntu install to a KDE?
[18:58] <arvind_khadri> TopBunny88, ya
[18:58] <bastid_raZor> TopBunny88; if you're going to remove it then just do a fresh install of kubuntu
[18:58] <v3ctor> TopBunny98: the removal of gnome is always the tricky part
[18:58] <arvind_khadri> bastid_raZor, there is no need for that
[18:58] <arvind_khadri> !purekde | TopBunny98
[18:58] <simNIX> TopBunny88, you could add kubuntu-desktop - then at login you can switch between kde and gnome - if kde works as you want then you can always remove gnome although I never did so myself
[18:59] <ohgodnotanother1> hello
[18:59] <simNIX> ah ubotto ynx - )
[18:59] <simNIX> tnx
[18:59] <ohgodnotanother1> I suppose you guys all know the ubuntu network configuration GUI
[18:59] <arvind_khadri> simNIX, he is just a bot :P
[18:59] <indian_munnda> ra21vi: can you tell me the command to have a shortcut on the desktop?
[18:59] <arvind_khadri> ohgodnotanother1, ask what you want to
[19:00] <ohgodnotanother1> what does this command do in the background to get a DHCP for a wlan card?
[19:00] <ohgodnotanother1> I mean IP from a DHCP
[19:00] <simNIX> I should say arvind_khadri tnx for calling on bot
[19:01] <simNIX> I wonder; if in preseed file I put install kubuntu-desktop it works; is there also such a switch to get to a studiobuntu ?
[19:01] <simNIX> (with a ubuntu install)
[19:01] <ohgodnotanother1> I would like to be able to manually initialise my wlan card without that GUI. but I don't get an IP. what to do?
[19:01] <blue-frog> indian_munnda: right click on the folder/file you want a shortcut, select make link then drag the link on your desktop
[19:01] <arvind_khadri> simNIX, you mean compressed?
[19:02] <blue-frog> ohgodnotanother1: dhclient
[19:02] <arvind_khadri> !studio | simNIX
[19:03] <ohgodnotanother1> blue-frog: dhclient tells me
[19:03] <muntier> hi
[19:03] <ohgodnotanother1> No DHCPOFFERS received.
[19:03] <ohgodnotanother1> No working leases in persistent database - sleeping.
[19:03] <blue-frog> ohgodnotanother1: and you need to give the ssid and key in /etc/network/interface
[19:03] <ohgodnotanother1> blue-frog: it's there, I just checked that
[19:03] <blue-frog> ohgodnotanother1: is dhcp activated on your router?
[19:03] <bastid_raZor> arvind_khadri; ahh i did not know it was that simple to convert to Kubuntu. i'll make note of that link
[19:03] <Hydromethod> does it also say theres already a PID file running?
[19:04] <simNIX> arvind_khadri, Im setting up automated ubuntu install using preseed file; if I put in it tasksel tasksel/first multiselect standard, ubuntu-desktop I get full ubuntu desktop - If I put tasksel tasksel/first multiselect standard, kubuntu-desktop I get kubuntu. I wonder if I can set in the preseed something like tasksel tasksel/first multiselect standard, ubuntu-studio orso
[19:04] <Hydromethod> PID of dhclient i mean
[19:04] <arvind_khadri> bastid_raZor, :) welcome
[19:04] <ohgodnotanother1> blue-frog: yes, it works if I use the GUI but doesn't when I try to enable it manually
[19:04] <simNIX> (I pxe boot /ubuntu/dists/hardy/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/ubuntu-installer/i386/initrd.gz)
[19:04] <Hydromethod> does anyone know if rutilt is still being developed for the ralink drivers?
[19:04] <Whitor> Hi. My Ubuntu won't boot anymore... it works in recovery mode... but not regular mode. It was accidentally unplugged w/o being properly shutdown ... what can I do ?

[19:05] <arvind_khadri> fr500, that kills all the instances of that particular process
[19:06] <fr500_> reinis__: yo can kill from top too just type k and it asks for the pid
[19:06] <simNIX> arvind_khadri, on https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/installation-guide/i386/preseed-using.html     its explained

[19:12] <ohgodnotanother1> what's wrong with that?

[19:13] <davedaveyesdave> ok, im trying to installing ubuntu as a dual boot. I curently have xp loaded. when i 1st tried to install ubuntu there was no option to partition. there was only to use the whole hard drive or do it manually. maually looked scary. I have since partioned 10gb but still the ubuntu installion will not pick this up. please help
[19:14] <arvind_khadri> davedaveyesdave, use the manual method and when you select that drive use it as Ext3 and set it as /
[19:14] <davedaveyesdave> its already formated as ext3
[19:15] <xomp> davedaveyesdave, what filesystem type did you format in? Ext3 should be set for "/" and you should have a swap partition as well.
[19:15] <davedaveyesdave> how to i set up a swap partition
[19:15] <arvind_khadri> davedaveyesdave, then just select and set its mount point as /
[19:15] <davedaveyesdave> why does the installation not run as easy as I see on websites
[19:15] <xomp> davedaveyesdave, are you using gparted?
[19:16] <davedaveyesdave> no, i used a partion program on xp
[19:16] <xomp> davedaveyesdave, that's probably the issue :P try gparted.
[19:16] <ranger> ciao a tutti
[19:16] <ohgodnotanother1> anyone who can help me with dhclient3?
[19:16] <v3ctor> davedaveyesdave: use you windows tool to remove the partiton you created and leave it as unused
[19:17] <v3ctor> the installer should see it
[19:17] <davedaveyesdave> can i not edit it now with gparted
[19:17] <v3ctor> davedaveyesdave: use whatever too you like ;)
[19:17] <v3ctor> tool*
[19:17] <simNIX> arvind_khadri, preseeding is simply put; a network install, which you point to a answering file (the preseed file) in wich things like which packages/ how to partion and more is set. Setup this way is not done by clicking through all those settings but are automaticly read from that preseed file
[19:18] <arvind_khadri> simNIX, thanks ... i read that :)
[19:18] <simNIX> this way pc's which can boot over the network here (can pxe boot) can choose install automaticly Ubuntu desktop or kubuntu desktop or lampserver and so on
[19:19] <maco> how can i change how often hal polls my cdrom drive?  i'd like to make it be around 10 seconds instead of the default 2, to save resources, but i also don't want to disable it entirely
[19:19] <TopBunny88> How does one start the swat deamon from the commandline?
[19:19] <davedaveyesdave> how much space should i use as a swap area
[19:19] <bobbob1016> I usually use hamachi to remotely connect to my home PC.  I forgot to run hamachi, but I do have ports forwarded to another linux machine, for torrents.  Would it even be remotely possible to ssh via the port I have forwarded without being home?  I know I'd be hacking my home machine, just wondering...
[19:19] <TopBunny88> davedaveyesdave:  minimum, swap is 1.5X physical memory (ram)
[19:20] <rsc-> will an iPod Touch be compatible with libgpod and the apps that use it? :P I'm thinking of getting one :p
[19:20] <KidJoe1665> Music and SoundFX are not working for most of my games in ubuntu studio! Please Help me?
[19:20] <simNIX> arvind_khadri, I was away from screen for a bit - say you q what is preseed in red with my name but didnt saw if I already answered
[19:20] <maco> rsc-: i dont think so
[19:20] <rsc-> maco, what can I use to update it?
[19:21] <davedaveyesdave> how do i create a new partion (swap area) with gparted
[19:21] <Pizarro> Hello
[19:21] <maco> rsc-: i dont think they have Touch support yet...maybe in Intrepid?
[19:21] <Pizarro> Can anyone help me with PUTTY and XMING. I get the error:
[19:21] <Pizarro> No protocol specified
[19:21] <Pizarro> help!
[19:22] <maco> rsc-: every time a new generation of apple junk comes out, they screw with things to force incompatibility. the first gen Touches might be compatible but the 2-weeks-ago stuff is doubtful
[19:22] <arvind_khadri> simNIX, its ok :)

[19:23] <davedaveyesdave> is a swap partion a primary or extended partition
[19:23] <Pizarro> arvind_khadri,I already know what is putty, and I already read that, I have everything installed, however I can't make it to work, help!
[19:23] <snova> am i going to have to do something special to make kdm start a kde4 session instead of a kde3 one? it's the kde4 version of kdm, so i don't think i'll have to, but before i reboot to make all the upgrades come into effect, i want to make sure i'll see kde4 when it starts up again.
[19:23] <maco> davedaveyesdave: doesnt matter
[19:23] <arvind_khadri> Pizarro, i think you should ask #windows
[19:24] <IntuitiveNipple> remoteCTRL: what did you do? threaten to hit the keyboard with a hammer?
[19:24] <remoteCTRL> davedaveyesdave: depends on if you specified it as primary or logical during setup...
[19:24] <v3ctor> snova: mine shows as kde4 in the list
[19:24] <creeed> davedaveyesdave, I'll take it as extended
[19:24] <snova> v3ctor: it has a list of session types? i didn't know that.
[19:24] <arvind_khadri> snova, you dont have to do anything special
[19:24] <maco> IntuitiveNipple: it's not hard to do....just click whatever you set to your 3rd level chooser and hit n...um, with international keyboard turned on
[19:24] <v3ctor> snova: yes it does
[19:24] <kernco> I'm following some instructions that ask me to install the package libapache-mod-dav, but this package isn't in 8.04, only 7.10 and earlier.  What is the current equivalent package(s)?
[19:24] <NicEXE> I am trying to help a friend set up cPanel on Ubuntu but there is no luck. Can anyone help me set up cPanel?
[19:25] <cars__> I am trying to transfer a large number of files between two computers over a firewire cable.  One is running Ubuntu and the other is running Vista (shudder).  I looked at the Wiki page for Ethernet over Firewire but am confused.  Is what I am attempting to do possible?  My other method available to me is transferring via flash drive, but one computer does not have USB 2.0.
[19:25] <remoteCTRL> IntuitiveNipple: heh errr actually i don't know so exactly all of asudden today duriong the day when i hit it automatically it worked:D
[19:25] <snova> v3ctor: arvind_khadri: ok, thank you. i'm going to reboot now.
[19:25] <Pizarro> windows?
[19:25] <davedaveyesdave> ok, i created a partition of 10gb for ubuntu, i used 2gb of that as swap area. I will now try to install again
[19:25] <NicEXE> I am trying to help a friend set up cPanel on Ubuntu but there is no luck. Can anyone help me set up cPanel?
[19:25] <cars__> Sorry, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EthernetOverFirewire is the page I was referring to.
[19:25] <rsc-> cars__, i haven't tried it but linux *can* ethernet-over-firewire
[19:25] <Pizarro> I am trying to establish a SSH connection lo linux,
[19:25] <remoteCTRL> davedaveyesdave: why, what is the problem?
[19:25] <Pizarro> I htink it is a Linux matter
[19:25] <Pizarro> since the errors I get are in linux session
[19:26] <Pizarro> putty is working womnderful!
[19:26] <Pizarro> the problem is when I want to forward X11
[19:26] <remoteCTRL> Pizarro: can you paste the error message?
[19:26] <v3ctor> Pizarro: forward X11 to windows desktop?
[19:26] <sysdoc> Where in compiz do you adjust the window sticky (sticky to other windows or view port?)
[19:26] <creeed> davedaveyesdave, if you wanna install new, just let ubuntu partition your unallocated area automatically
[19:27] <Pizarro> No protocol specified
[19:27] <Pizarro> xhost:  unable to open display "192.168.1.33:0"
[19:27] <Pizarro> That's the message
[19:27] <davedaveyesdave> creeed that was my initial problem
[19:27] <creeed> davedaveyesdave, what is the problem?
[19:27] <remoteCTRL> IntuitiveNipple: all that i know is current setting is german generic
[19:27] <L52> Pizarro: have you checked out cygwin?
[19:28] <davedaveyesdave> i had no option to partition free space, only to use all hard drive or manual
[19:28] <remoteCTRL> davedaveyesdave: manual is where you can partition the free space manually;)
[19:28] <davedaveyesdave> i know but it looked scary
[19:28] <davedaveyesdave> try now
[19:28] <davedaveyesdave> trying now
[19:28] <cars__> rsc-: That's good to know.  I'm lost when it comes to recompiling the kernel in that way, though.  I know I will need additional software on the Vista end, since they removed native support for it after XP.
[19:29] <Pizarro> L52, I don't have cygwin, is it necessary?
[19:29] <[Solars]> when ubuntu writes "lilo" to the first disk... and you already have Windows installed does it adjust to allow dual boot of both
[19:29] <remoteCTRL> davedaveyesdave: what is it actually that you are trying to accomplish?
[19:29] <davedaveyesdave> i want to install ubuntu
[19:29] <snova> v3ctor: thanks again! kde4 is beautiful! now i just have to reconfigure every setting in sight, and i'll be happy.
[19:29] <Rolaulten> Ello...I
[19:29] <remoteCTRL> davedaveyesdave: i thought you did that already?
[19:29] <creeed> davedaveyesdave, when you choose manual, you'll see all your partitions / unallocated areas, just select an unallocated area and press automatically partitioning
[19:29] <v3ctor> Pizarro: you require an xserver to do forwarding
[19:29] <ailean> I'm looking for an easy way to back up my home directory to multiple DVDs.  Is there an application that anyone can recommend?
[19:30] <L52> Pizarro: I don't know if putty is even able to forward X11 to a windows desktop. (is it?)
[19:30] <indian_munnda> ra21vi: are you there?
[19:30] <Pizarro> v3ctor, I have installed X11 in the server
[19:30] <davedaveyesdave> but originally there were no unalocated areas
[19:30] <Pizarro> L52, yes in juction with xming
[19:30] <davedaveyesdave> there was only xp and back up
[19:30] <L52> Pizarro: I did that (years ago) with cygwin (afaik)
[19:30] <v3ctor> Pizarro: you need xserver on the windows desktop
[19:30] <Pizarro> which I have already installed
[19:30] <maco> ailean: mondo mindi
[19:30] <Pizarro> v3ctor, I already have xming instaled and running
[19:30] <creeed> davedaveyesdave, so where do you want to install your ubuntu?
[19:31] <v3ctor> Pizarro: did you select the x forwrding option in putty?
[19:31] <maco> ailean: i think it can be told to do just /home
[19:31] <remoteCTRL> Pizarro: what v3ctor said
[19:31] <l3d> whats does the avahi-daemon do
[19:31] <ailean> maco, they're two different apps - is it either or, or do i use them in conjunction with each other?
[19:31] <davedaveyesdave> on my laptop
[19:31] <maco> ailean: together
[19:31] <davedaveyesdave> along side xp
[19:31] <remoteCTRL> l3d: it gives you an ip adress when you have dhcp configured and no server ais available
[19:32] <Pizarro> v3ctor, yes, and to localhost:0
[19:32] <l3d> oh
[19:32] <ailean> thanks maco
[19:32] <Rolaulten> Ello, I'm having issues booting into xp....my keybord and mouse keep getting locked out at the logon screen. However I run a app in windows that alows for custom logon screens...So I was wondering if there was a way to unstall apps in windows from inside ubuntu
[19:32] <Lyk4n8rwp0S> I try to install Ubuntu 8.04 and I get : squashfs error: Unable to read page etc.etc. what is the fault? The Integrity of the cd is perfect.
[19:32] <ailean> maco, err it's asking to configure citadel-server - what's that about?
[19:33] <creeed> davedaveyesdave, okay, okay.. what is the output of fdisk -l
[19:33] <davedaveyesdave> whats fdisk
[19:33] <remoteCTRL> Rolaulten: try to hit f8 on booting that gives you a dialog where you can choose failsafe mode
[19:33] <maco> ailean: i dont know. i backup by rsync'ing to a spare hard drive. one of my friends is a server admin and uses mondo&mindo for backing up to CD/DVD
[19:34] <Rolaulten> ok, cool, then boot into safemode and go from there?
[19:34] <ailean> maco, ok, cool.  i'll give it a try :)
[19:34] <maco> ailean: i just know he recommends it for that usecase
[19:34] <remoteCTRL> Rolaulten: IF you got a keybord then yes
[19:34] <creeed> davedaveyesdave, what is the partition table of your computer?
[19:34] <ailean> maco, many thanks
[19:34] <l3d> ok I was wondering what you guys and or gals who know linux think about this app    http://linuxappfinder.com/package/linux-firewall.org
[19:34] <cars__> Rolaulten: That will work for most things.  Some things will not, like programs installed with Windows installer.
[19:34] <Rolaulten> ok
[19:35] <Rolaulten> now to see if that will work. thanks
[19:35] <remoteCTRL> l3d:   don't know that one but can recommend firestarter

[19:39] <sysdoc> Where in compiz do you adjust the window sticky (sticky to other windows or view port?)
[19:40] <cars__> facundobatista: Can you login graphically?
[19:40] <facundobatista> cars__: yes, why?
[19:40] <l3d> remoteCTRL    i should have seen that firestarter does the same thing
[19:40] <rw__> I have hundreds of files on my external hdd. The file names are jibberish and properties tells me it's an applicatation/octet-stream. I tried to delete them but I can't. Even when I start nautilus as root, it says I don't have permission. Any help?

[19:41] <phantomcircuit> danbh_intrepid, i think it's a problem with gnome
[19:41] <danbh_intrepid> phantomcircuit: then reinstall completely?
[19:41] <balzac> hello
[19:41] <cars__> facundobatista: general properties for things are located in System -> Administration -> Users and Groups
[19:41] <sysdoc> rw__: do you have ownership of the files?
[19:41] <balzac> I'm trying to prepare an ubuntu-eee iso on a usb stick using unetbootin
[19:42] <snova> is there a way to make the overall widget size smaller? i'm using oxygen (kde4) and everything seems too big.
[19:42] <_moro_bana_> how do i change read-write permissions on a drive?. i dont have permission to delete from and make file on my  external hdd under ubuntu .
[19:42] <balzac> unetbootin appears hung
[19:42] <rw__> sysdoc: not sure
[19:42] <balzac> it didn't have the option to select ubuntu-eee as a distro
[19:42] <balzac> nevermind, there it goes...
[19:42] <sysdoc> _moro_bana_: chown chmod
[19:42] <rw__>  sysdoc: the permissions tab tells me I have read-write access.
[19:42] <LogicalDash> I'd like a new window list that's better at navigating a very large number of open windows--mainly a bunch of OpenOffice windows. KDE3's panel was pretty good, is there anything like it for GNOME?
[19:43] <soundray> facundobatista: can you open gconf-editor and check that /desktop/gnome/volume_manager/automount_drives is checked
[19:43] <whyz> hey. I've just installed ubuntu server, but i'm having trouble booting. Grub doesn't work. It gives me "error 15" and freezes. the boot disk is an ordinary IDE, but i do have sata controllers aswell if that matters.. any ideas?
[19:43] <_moro_bana_> sysdoc: where so i type the parameters?
[19:43] <whyz> LogicalDash, tried cairo-dock? it can stack windows..
[19:43] <LogicalDash> whyz: I'll try it, thanks
[19:44] <soundray> LogicalDash: the default window list is much better if you put it in a side panel rather than the bottom one
[19:44] <balzac> everyone is going to be so jealous of my asus-eee with ubuntu
[19:44] <svenstaro> Hello everybody, how can I control two systems at once using the CLI? I know there is a tool but I forgot the name.
[19:44] <soundray> balzac: not me, I've got one
[19:44] <Smegma> I have an eee
[19:44] <LogicalDash> whyz: what package has cairo-dock in it?
[19:44] <rw__> svenstaro: use openssh
[19:44] <sysdoc> _moro_bana_: In a terminal, use $ man chown for instructions on how to use
[19:44] <whyz> LogicalDash, i believe it's called cairo-dock :)
[19:44] <_moro_bana_> sysdoc: chown chmod /dev/sdb1
[19:45] <LogicalDash> whyz: yeah but I just searched for that and it's not in the repos
[19:45] <svenstaro> rw__: orly :/ yes well I want to type in the commands once and they should be executed on many systems at once, I dont want a ssh session with each of myclients seperately
[19:45] <whyz> LogicalDash, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CairoDock
[19:45] <sysdoc> _moro_bana_: chown and chmod are 2 different commands
[19:45] <sysdoc> man chmod and man chown to see the usage
[19:45] <_moro_bana_> sysdoc: ok thanks, i ll figure out the rest.
[19:46] <sysdoc> :)
[19:46] <cars__> I am trying to transfer a large number of files between two laptops over a firewire cable.  One computer is running Ubuntu and the other is running Vista (shudder).  I looked at the Ubuntu Wiki page for Ethernet over Firewire (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EthernetOverFirewire) but am confused.  My other method available to me is transferring via flash drive, but one computer does not have USB 2.0.  I know I will need additional softwa
[19:46] <cars__> re on the Vista end, since they removed native support for it after XP.
[19:46] <LogicalDash> whyz: thanks
[19:47] <whyz> cars__, can't you use regular ethernet?
[19:47] <sysdoc> rw__: did you follow that?
[19:47] <cars__> whyz: All I have is a standard ethernet cable.  I don't have a hub/router or crossover cable.
[19:47] <svenstaro> How can I control two remote systems at once using the CLI? I know there is a tool but I forgot the name.
[19:47] <whyz> cars__, ah, ok
[19:47] <RenzoreK> Is it true that now proprietary multimedia codecs are only for sale, making Ubuntu commercialized?
[19:48] <standing_still> why I feel like im being ignored in this open society???
[19:48] <standing_still> why I feel like im being ignored in this open society???
[19:48] <unop> cars__, this should be simple - as long as you successfully load the right modules, a new ethernet interface is created, you configure the interface for this setup and off you go
[19:48] <snova> RenzoreK: this might not be the place for that
[19:48] <soundray> cars__: some adapters have a crossover function and will notice if they are connected peer-to-peer -- worth a try
[19:48] <svenstaro> standing_still: because there are too many people here who have problems
[19:48] <unop> standing_still, probably because you put people off with that attitude?
[19:48] <balzac> installing ubuntu-eee
[19:48] <standing_still> is it an open society or a close one?
[19:48] <balzac> bye bye xandros
[19:48] <snova> standing_still: as much as i agree, i'll ask, what's the problem?
[19:48] <Jowi> whyz, http://www.linuxselfhelp.com/gnu/grub/html_chapter/grub_13.html <- grub error codes. it seems like grub is confused of where to find what it is looking for. can't help you fix it though. someone else familiar with that error code?
[19:49] <soundray> standing_still: stop moaning and describe your problem.
[19:49] <whyz> Jowi, thanks
[19:49] <balzac> hehe
[19:50] <unop> standing_still, i'll try and help you in here - let's keep the conversation here so other people can contribute too
[19:50] <standing_still> allrite..
[19:50] <standing_still> thnx... now i believe it is a open society...
[19:50] <standing_still> hehe
[19:50] <standing_still> well..
[19:50] <standing_still> im tryin 2 install new ALSA driver..
[19:50] <soundray> standing_still: keep it ontopic and on one line please
[19:50] <sako> hey guys, if i use the alpha does it automatically upgrade into 8.10? or is it better to wait for the final release?
[19:51] <cars__> unop, I'm new to all that, even recompiling the kernel.  Would this set it up as an Ethernet connection, or some other connection that would allow the Vista computer to see the other?  I'm looking for the most painless way of setting up this temporary connection.

[19:51] <standing_still> coz ma laptop wont make any sound at all wiht the default installation... and i got some problem
[19:51] <balzac> It might be "open" but it's not one hundred percent free.
[19:51] <facundobatista> soundray: it wasn't checked. Now I checked it (automount_drives), and also checked automount_media, just in case
[19:52] <Daft_Punk> I got my ubuntu CD in the mail today, and it came with stickers :)
[19:52] <facundobatista> soundray: I tried again, but still does not work
[19:52] <soundray> standing_still: have you looked at the troubleshooting help?
[19:52] <RenzoreK> snova: Why is this not the place? I am not asking for anything illegal or inquiring about it. I am inquiring about Ubuntu's legality and if its no longer fully open-source
[19:52] <standing_still> yea...
[19:52] <unop> cars__, provided this firewire cable you have supports PC2PC communication - all you need to do is configure the ethernet interface i.e. setup an IP address, etc in a network that the vista machine is on too
[19:52] <unop> !pm | standing_still
[19:52] <snova> RenzoreK: because this is mostly a support channel, i think.
[19:52] <soundray> facundobatista: normally I would have thought it would work after that, but perhaps you have to log out and back in again.
[19:52] <deangrobler> Howdy I am a new ubuntu user with a major prob.  I diddn't shut down my pc prop and now when I boot it takes me to the grub recovery console. I have no idea what to do from here. Any advice would really help
[19:53] <cars__> RenzoreK: You may want to try #ubuntu-offtopic
[19:53] <deangrobler> thx
[19:53] <Jowi> Firefox issue: anyone know how to change default language when searching with google? just because of my (i guess) ip address location I get google.fr instead of my preffered google.co.uk
[19:53] <Daft_Punk> Jowi, in google, there should be a link to preferences, you can change your language options in there (i prefer using Elmer Fudd) :)
[19:54] <unop> Jowi, have you setup your homepage as google.com?
[19:54] <facundobatista> soundray: I'll try it in a few minutes, let me close some work I'm doing in that machine
[19:54] <standing_still> oke2.. sowry guys...
[19:54] <Jowi> unop, google.co.uk
[19:54] <standing_still> so many regulation in this open society..
[19:54] <standing_still> hehe
[19:54] <unop> Jowi, you should be able to set preferences then like Daft_Punk suggested
[19:54] <Jowi> Daft_Punk, i don't want to sign in. i just want to use google.co.uk to get english results
[19:54] <a59303> hello, I'm looking for help with audacity
[19:55] <balzac> I think I might name my new eee pc "HP Inkjet" so when I'm seefing on other people's wireless with air-crack, if they happen to notice my computer on their network, they might mistake it for their printer =]
[19:55] <unop> Jowi, i believe preferences can be set for when you don't log in too
[19:55] <soundray> standing_still: we have to have rules here -- this channel is on the brink of chaos, even if everyone is well-behaved.
[19:55] <Daft_Punk> Jowi, you dont have to sign in to go to preferences, it is just an option for google to change your language preferences
[19:55] <Jowi> unop, Daft_Punk : I delete cookies on close so that's not an option
[19:55] <standing_still> man... help me please.. just a simple newbie question..
[19:56] <Daft_Punk> Jowi, i didn't tell you to delete cookies...
[19:56] <balzac> standing_still: I haven't seen you ask any questions yet
[19:56] <unop> Jowi, set your homepage to something like this perhaps?  http://www.google.co.uk/webhp?complete=1&hl=en
[19:56] <soundray> standing_still: installing a new version of ALSA is not a newbie question
[19:56] <standing_still> i got an error message which can make me continue the ALSA installation after make command
[19:56] <balzac> ok, I see it now
[19:56] <snova> standing_still: this might already have been asked, but why do you have to build it yourself?
[19:56] <soundray> standing_still: try 'sudo apt-get install build-essential', then 'make' again
[19:56] <Jowi> unop, i am talking about the search field on the top right hand side beside the address bar
[19:57] <standing_still> allrite.. thnx mate..
[19:57] <RenzoreK> snova: I believe its support since my Ubuntu is a multimedia/web machine, so support wise, this affects users
[19:57] <standing_still> ill try it..later...
[19:57] <soundray> Jowi: I think this is something only Google can fix (I find it most annoying myself)
[19:57] <standing_still> thanx soundray
[19:58] <LogicalDash> whyz: I've played around with cairo-dock for a bit, it appears that it doesn't show me window titles unless I mouse over the icons, which is not very helpful when I've got 17 different OpenOffice windows and am trying to find the right document title
[19:58] <Jowi> soundray, it's a firefox3 thing. i'm sure of it. it looks up the info somewhere - i just have to find out where so i can adjust it to my liking :)
[19:59] <soundray> Jowi: if you're sure... :)  have you looked in about:config?
[19:59] <standing_still> by the way what is build essential ?
[19:59] <soundray> !info build-essential | standing_still
[19:59] <biouser> how to unzip without creating a new directory?
[19:59] <unop> Jowi, i believe you can adjust the keyword.URL option in about:config
[19:59] <soundray> !b-e | standing_still
[19:59] <biouser> but keeping all sub directories ,.,,
[19:59] <biouser> creating the subdirectories
[20:00] <gluonman> Does anyone know anything about creating an .iso directly from a CDROM? I used "dd if=/dev/cdrom of=file.iso" on my other computer and it worked fine. It's not working right now, though. I'm getting an I/O error.
[20:00] <biouser> within the zip
[20:00] <soundray> standing_still: it installs compilers and helpers for developing software
[20:00] <AidanPryde> hi, I have a rather strange problem: I have 3 Special Keys on my Keyboard and some time ago, I assigned the a shutdown command or something similar to the one labeled "Power". My Problem: I can't remember how I did it and want to change it, but whenever I touch the key -> shutdown
[20:00] <snova> RenzoreK: it's not support wise if you aren't asking a support question, i think. as interesting a topic as it is, i don't think it doesn't count as support unless you're having a problem with it.
[20:00] <unop> biouser, using the CLI or GUI?
[20:00] <balzac> whoo yeah, whoo yeah!
[20:00] <balzac> ubuntu-eee on my asus eee 900
[20:00] <soundray> gluonman: this normally indicates a fault, either with the CD itself or with the CD-ROM drive.
[20:01] <k20a>  is there a way to do a minimum install of ubuntu amd64? no extras at all
[20:01] <biouser> unop CLI
[20:01] <biouser> unop but either way...
[20:01] <jrib> !minimal | k20a
[20:01] <AidanPryde> anybody please?
[20:02] <gluonman> soundray, this same CD worked perfectly fine in my other computer when I ran the dd command. The CD will mount fine and display it's contents.
[20:02] <unop> biouser, there's the -d option to unzip that should help
[20:02] <soundray> AidanPryde: have a look in System-Preferences-Keyboard Shortcuts
[20:02] <k20a> ty jrib
[20:02] <AidanPryde> soundray: nope. There isn't even a command for "shutdown" there
[20:03] <jrib> AidanPryde: check if xbindkeys is running
[20:04] <AidanPryde> it is not installed
[20:04] <cars__> unop: I think I could handle it after I get the initial setup done, but https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EthernetOverFirewire tells me I have to compile a kernel with some things but not as modules.  Like I said, I'm new to building the kernel and it looks tricky.
[20:04] <sbeh> hi, sudo locale-gen creates a zombie-gzip-process, what can i do?>
[20:04] <biouser> unop $ unzip -d filename.zip /path/to/where/to/extract/            ?
[20:04] <Myxb> hi all! how do i turn off the bt led on a dell pc? i can turn off the bt itself but no the led. can't use hardware switch to leave wifi on...
[20:04] <Finnish> Anyone around who has been using Blueman to access internet, with a laptop and a phone?
[20:04] <soundray> AidanPryde: perhaps it runs /etc/acpi/powerbtn.sh -- chmod -x this file to check
[20:05] <[Solars]> So i know you can dual boot, but can you virtualize one OS inside the other.. .i.e. Ubuntu inside WinXP64 (useing installed hdd from both OS)?
[20:05] <unop> biouser, almost.  unzip file.zip -d .  # . being the current directory
[20:05] <Mjateznik> Myxb: On my dell (E6500) there is a switch on the right side where you can turn of wireless and bluetooth, that also turns of the led.
[20:05] <soundray> !virtualization > [Solars]
[20:05] <a59303> hello, audacity won't record or play files, neither will creox input sound
[20:05] <shadowsurfer> [solars]yerp
[20:05] <LogicalDash> a5903, sounds to me like more of a problem with your sound card
[20:06] <[Solars]> soundray i ready that already, it talks virtualizing inside ubuntu
[20:06] <[Solars]> but want to virtulize inside xp
[20:06] <AidanPryde> soundray: I will try now, if I go offline, it didn't work :)
[20:06] <a59303> LogicalDash I had it working at first but then I messed with settings
[20:06] <Myxb> Mjateznik: my d630 has only one switch for both wifi and bt. i use wifi always but bt only occasionally.
[20:06] <unop> cars__, see the alternative way - second section
[20:07] <biouser> unop  that did the same thing
[20:07] <Mjateznik> Myxb: same here :( bad of them.
[20:07] <soundray> [Solars]: it's much the same -- just your software choices are different. Try virtualbox (free as in speech) and VMware Server (free as in beer)
[20:07] <unop> cars__, that way doesn't require compiling a kernel
[20:07] <Mjateznik> Myxb: but you should be abel to turn of the BT with software. Have your tried that?
[20:07] <barlrol> hey if i wanna be able to run xpsp2 in ubuntu do i need to install just the player or the server and the player for VMware
[20:08] <Jowi> unop, soundray, I found the solution - but not in about:config. it's actually in /usr/lib/firefox-3.0.1/searchplugins/google.xml I need to add a param to force the default search language instead of getting it based on my location
[20:08] <cars__> unop: OK, Thanks
[20:08] <x2o> hey scai
[20:08] <soundray> Jowi: wow
[20:08] <x2o> jetzt funzt es erstmal, mal gucken
[20:08] <x2o> was ist denn ehci für ein modul
[20:08] <Jowi> soundray, yeah :-/
[20:08] <Sephr> just in case something goes wrong, does wubi fully support the x64 alternate installer?
[20:09] <Myxb> Mjateznik: the applet does not do that. i can turn off the radio manually, but not the led. it shines on :)
[20:09] <desheikh> barlrol: Youll need the server to install xp. The player can only play back already created virtual machines
[20:09] <unop> biouser, i guess there is no easy way then - if you know the name of the directory in the zip archive, you can do something like the following ...
[20:09] <gluonman> I'm having problems creating a .iso from my CD-ROM
[20:09] <pablo89> helo , when new gnome in repo ?
[20:09] <soundray> gluonman: if you have I/O errors, then there is a hardware fault.
[20:10] <unop> biouser, unzip file.zip -d . && mv directory_name/* . && rm -r directory_name
[20:10] <[Solars]> soundray seems like those virtually installs the OS insid ethe other OS,
[20:10] <unop> biouser, if you are adding dotfiles into the archive, you need to turn on dotglobbing too
[20:10] <gluonman> soundray, but I did this just yesterday after I had the problem, but I forgot the solution I found.
[20:10] <soundray> [Solars]: yes. You can't run a harddisk-installed OS inside a virtual machine
[20:10] <biouser> unop I just broke down and did it with the gui
[20:11] <pablo89> fuc you
[20:11] <unop> biouser, sorry to hear that
[20:11] <julio> aluem conhece o canal do ubuntu
[20:11] <julio> ou e este
[20:11] <unop> !es
[20:11] <barlrol> desheikh: is the server also free?
[20:11] <[Solars]> soundray erm so basically I screwed up again.. .I should repartition my raid back to use all my raid
[20:11] <biouser> unop but yeah there are some hidden things that I might be missing that way
[20:11] <julio> onde conseguismos tirar algumas duvidas do sistema
[20:11] <jrib> !pt | julio
[20:11] <[Solars]> then just do a virtual install?
[20:11] <soundray> [Solars]: you can always dual-boot
[20:11] <unop> biouser, then before you run the command, you need to have this.  shopt -s dotglob
[20:12] <[Solars]> soundray i want to be able to dual boot as well have access to ubuntu while in xp64
[20:12] <a59303> LogicalDash also I'm listening to music on the laptop now
[20:12] <julio> #ubuntu-pt
[20:12] <[Solars]> soundray thats what I am trying to occomplish
[20:12] <unop> julio, /j #ubuntu-pt
[20:12] <tsudot> Im using ubuntu 8.04, where can i find the httpd.conf file, as the one present under /etc/apache2 is empty
[20:12] <facundobatista>  soundray: now it seems to work ok, thank you!!
[20:12] <st3ph> [Solars]   how about vmware
[20:13] <unop> tsudot, refer to apache2.conf instead
[20:13] <soundray> [Solars]: there is a very easy solution: get a second PC
[20:13] <soundray> [Solars]: sorry, you didn't want to hear that.
[20:13] <[Solars]> soundray heh thats not so easy :P lol
[20:13] <akello> Hey Solars the best thing is to dual boot in the traditional way.......restart into each OS.
[20:14] <v3ctor> [Solars]: do you want to run ubuntu while running windows or do you just want to access the ubuntu partition from windows?
[20:14] <fred_> help!
[20:14] <fred_> i cant find an option for RAID 1 when installing Ubuntu
[20:14] <soundray> fred_: are you using the alternate install CD?
[20:14] <fonzarelli> how do i tell which repository I installed a package via using Synaptic or Apt?
[20:14] <st3ph> [Solars]   if u want both same time use vmware, should be what u want
[20:14] <[Solars]> v3ctor i want dual boot cabpility, and be able to run ubuntu from the hdd while in windows
[20:14] <fred_> im using the standard install CD they mailed me
[20:14] <fred_> theres another install cd?
[20:15] <unop> fonzarelli, apt-cache policy package_name
[20:15] <threethirty> I need to upgrade javascript in firefox 3.0.2  from 1.4 to 1.5, im on hardy any ideas
[20:15] <v3ctor> [Solars]: then you want something like virtualbox
[20:15] <[Solars]> st3ph erm i look into that dunno if thats going to accomplish what i watn (limited experince with VNware)
[20:15] <soundray> facundobatista: glad it works now
[20:15] <fonzarelli> thanks unop
[20:15] <cars__> [Solars]: Virtualbox has a seamless mode, which is great for running and using both OSs at once.
[20:15] <[Solars]> v3ctor virtualbox install a virtual OS
[20:15] <[Solars]> am i not correct?
[20:16] <v3ctor> [Solars]: yes
[20:16] <cars__> [Solars]: I find it runs faster and uses less resources than VMWare.
[20:16] <akello> Solars...try install ubuntu inside windows using Wubi.
[20:16] <[Solars]> akello not what i want to do :)
[20:16] <[Solars]> don't want a virtual install if i can skip it
[20:16] <st3ph> [Solars]   vmware is a virualbox u run xp or ubuntu in a second window while running ur main os
[20:16] <fred_> soundray:  im using the standard install cd that was mailed from ubuntu, is there another install disc that will allow me to select raid 1 partition type during install?
[20:16] <soundray> !alternate > fred_
[20:16] <fred_> k
[20:16] <soundray> !raid > fred_
[20:17] <kendrick> hey all.
[20:17] <fred_> thanks guys, i wish they would have the option enabled on the standard disc though :(
[20:17] <v3ctor> [Solars]: virtual is the only way to achieve what you want
[20:17] <[Solars]> cars__ so you saying i can run 2 OS from two different hdd at the same time
[20:17] <fred_> i need to get a box up in the next few hours lol
[20:17] <kendrick> is anyone here familiar with 'recordmydesktop'?
[20:17] <kendrick> i'm trying to use it on Ubuntu 8.04 on a Dell Inspiron 1525 and i cannot convince it to record sound coming out of apps
[20:17] <CaBlGuY> !firefox 3.0
[20:17] <kendrick> (i'm using KDE, and tried w/ and w/o 'arts' sound server running)
[20:18] <[Solars]> v3ctor starting to realize that, but want to make sure before i go through the hassels of redoing my raid and reformating
[20:18] <CaBlGuY> we got a deb for firefox 3.0 yet?
[20:18] <gluonman> soundray, I discovered that my problem is that I was required to be root. So putting sudo before dd worked. No hardware problems here.
[20:18] <v3ctor> [Solars]: you can just slap ntfs on the other drive and put you virtual disk on that
[20:19] <CaBlGuY> yes no?
[20:19] <akello> Anybody here to help with installing Yahoo! Messenger in ubuntu?
[20:19] <soundray> gluonman: you shouldn't have got an I/O error then, but a Permission denied
[20:19] <[Solars]> v3ctor that is an option i suppose
[20:19] <Melancholia> hi there....need some help with Checkinstall
[20:19] <cars__> [Solars]: The thing that's cool about VirtualBox is that you don't need a separate window to run it in with the seamless mode.  You can run two OSes at the same time, but one will be the host OS, running first.  You could install Ubuntu or XP in a virtual disk on another hard drive (or the same, if you want).
[20:19] <CaBlGuY> akello:  just install pidgen and you can use all IM with it..
[20:19] <v3ctor> [Solars]: that is what i do
[20:19] <CaBlGuY> !pidgen
[20:19] <gluonman> soundray, perhaps, but I noticed the same thing happening on some forums.
[20:20] <cars__> !pidgin > akello
[20:20] <v3ctor> [Solars]: i run ubuntu and windows in virtualbox
[20:20] <tsudot> thanks unop
[20:20] <CaBlGuY> thanks cars_
[20:20] <Melancholia> guys how can i get someone to talk to me?
[20:20] <[Solars]> v3ctor erm suppose i could that
[20:20] <v3ctor> [Solars]: also on seperate drives
[20:20] <jim_p> Melancholia: what is it?
[20:20] <CaBlGuY> Melancholia:   whatcha need?
[20:20] <snova> i just updated kmail and now it doesn't work. how do i downgrade to the older version?
[20:21] <gnuskool> Hi! I'm using a wubi install, so trying to symlink "my documents" in xp with this command, ln -s /host/Documents\ and\ Settings/username/My\ Documents ~  ...but the error is the link dosent exist, how can i fix that?
[20:21] <Melancholia> i need some help with Checkinstall
[20:21] <[Solars]> v3ctor but then i lose the ability to dual boot
[20:21] <v3ctor> [Solars]: virtualbox isn't that scary and there are people in #vbox that can help
[20:21] <jim_p> does anybody know how can i import .abw (abiword) documents to openoffice?
[20:21] <gnuskool> my bad, i think i've got it :D
[20:21] <CaBlGuY> Melancholia:  what exactly ya trying to do?
[20:21] <tuxedup> hello, I am loooking for an application that will allow me to take a directory of images and print them, however I want to be able to print 4 images per page.  Does anyone know of applicatios that cna do this?  Preferably in Kde thanks
[20:21] <phantomcircuit> Under the Places menu I have a bunch of gibberish
[20:21] <jim_p> Melancholia: what problem do you have with checkinstall?
[20:21] <facundobatista> bye
[20:22] <[Solars]> v3ctor not scared of it, just trying to figure out how to accomplish what i want
[20:22] <Melancholia> ok 1st it's my 1st time using x chat
[20:22] <v3ctor> [Solars]: first you must figure out exactly what it is you want
[20:22] <cars__> [Solars]: I think most of what you want (running one OS while running another) would be solved by using VirtualBox.
[20:22] <Melancholia> how can i send private messages here?
[20:23] <CaBlGuY> Melancholia:  congrads on using X..  it's sweet huh?  ;)
[20:23] <cheery> do somebody know how to read memtest results?
[20:23] <snova> Melancholia: don't.
[20:23] <CaBlGuY> Melancholia:  just click the name you want and send the message..
[20:23] <Myxb> hi all! how do i turn off the bt led on a dell pc? i can manually turn off the bt itself but no the led. can't use hardware switch to leave wifi on...
[20:23] <jim_p> Melancholia: right click on a user and select open conversation window
[20:23] <cheery> I'd like to get some sort of hint about which module from my mem is broken
[20:23] <Error> jest tu jakis polak?????
[20:24] <cheery> test|pass|failing address|good|bad|err-bits|bad|count|Chan
[20:24] <[Solars]> v3ctor basically what i want is the option to duelboot and be able to run ubunto from within windows using a dedicated hdd
[20:24] <[Solars]> dunno if that clears things up
[20:24] <v3ctor> cheery: does it give you a slot number?
[20:24] <Jowi> Myxb, can't you disable only BT in BIOS?
[20:24] <cheery> 3 | 0 | 00000000 -  0.0MB | dfdfdfdf | 00000000 | dfdfdfdf | 1 |
[20:24] <subone> is there an application i can edit a pdf with? i need to add links, bookmarks, and possibly remove/add/edit passwords
[20:24] <[Solars]> cars__ that only solves part of the problem I am facing
[20:24] <EarthLion> does shutdown -h now actually poweroff a system?
[20:24] <Melancholia> thanks jim
[20:24] <cheery> 3 | 0 | 00000000 -  0.0MB | 04040404 | 00000000 | 04040404 | 2 |
[20:24] <cheery> v3ctor, nope
[20:24] <jim_p> subone: pfdedit
[20:24] <ClaudioLago> someone from cyprus (country)?
[20:24] <phantomcircuit> Under the Places menu I have a bunch of gibberish
[20:24] <whyz> EarthLion, usually yes. if the hardware can handle it.
[20:24] <Myxb> Jowi: i need to use it occasionally and do not wan to reboot to switch it each time.
[20:24] <cheery> is there a way to make it give me the slot number?
[20:25] <CaBlGuY> Melancholia:  like this...
[20:25] <EarthLion> is sudo poweroff more reliable?
[20:25] <^chaoz^> help
[20:25] <Error> jest tu jakis polak
[20:25] <akello> Melancholia see my private message
[20:25] <ClaudioLago> someone from cyprus (country)?
[20:25] <jim_p> EarthLion: both of them are correct
[20:25] <whyz> EarthLion, eh. shutdown -h always works..... i don't know what poweroff is
[20:25] <subone> jim_p: pfdedit or pdfedit?
[20:25] <CaBlGuY> akello:  he's wants to do this.. <----
[20:25] <CaBlGuY> :p
[20:25] <jim_p> ClaudioLago: i am from greece :P
[20:25] <EarthLion> ok cool thanks guys
[20:25] <phantomcircuit> weird
[20:25] <jim_p> subone pdfedit, you are right
[20:26] <subone> jim_p: ty
[20:26] <cars__> [Solars]: I may have missed it.  Do you already have both OSes installed?
[20:26] <Derrike> Quick question: I made a USB install method (unetbootin netinstall) and it's installed TO the USB drive, not the hdd; Is there a (series of) command(s) that can get it there without going through another song and dance
[20:26] <CaBlGuY> !checkinstall Melancholia
[20:26] <CaBlGuY> hmmmm
[20:26] <[Solars]> cars__ I will have both of them installed for dualboot
[20:26] <v3ctor> cheery: not familiar with memtest
[20:26] <akello> Ubottu...are you human or script?
[20:27] <majnoon> 1 important thing on dual boot with windows ,install windows FIRST

[20:27] <linux_> hi ppl
[20:27] <majnoon> linux not picky but windows IS
[20:27] <akello> Melancholia....cheers
[20:27] <linux_> can some one help me whit a little big problem :D
[20:27] <[Solars]> might have to stop my install and start over if I cant figure out a resolution
[20:27] <CaBlGuY> hey linux_ how goes it?
[20:28] <cars__> [Solars]: So you want to do the traditional dual-boot (where you restart to boot each OS), but you also want to have the ability to boot one OS while simultaneously running the other?
[20:28] <linux_> i try to compile  yux but when i give make cmd is telling me make: *** [Makefile] Error 2
[20:28] <[Solars]> cars__ yes
[20:28] <CaBlGuY> no clue about yux...   someone else help lnux_?
[20:28] <cars__> [Solars]: I imagine you want the files to be the same as well?
[20:28] <linux_> is an alternativ YM client for linux
[20:28] <[Solars]> cars yepp
[20:28] <Melancholia> jim_p, ty :)
[20:29] <jim_p> you are welcome Melancholia
[20:29] <Jowi> Myxb, have you tried: sudo rmmod bluetooth ("sudo modprobe bluetooth" to enable it again)
[20:29] <akello> Can somebody help with Yahoo messenger installation in ubuntu?
[20:30] <linux_> akello
[20:30] <akello> Can somebody help with Yahoo messenger installation in ubuntu?
[20:30] <linux_> you can find .deb package
[20:30] <[Solars]> cars__ yepp
[20:30] <cheery> anyone familiar with memtest86?
[20:30] <linux_> if you search on google
[20:30] <Myxb> Jowi: yes the bt radion is off, but the LED is on, nevertheless.
[20:30] <phantomcircuit> $gedit
[20:30] <LogicalDash> I am looking for  a program that will show me, in a window, a list of all the open windows. Preferably a searchable list. Sometimes I have more windows open than I'd like to admit and the taskbar just doesn't show me enough.
[20:30] <Melancholia> jim_p, so wat about the Checkinstall?
[20:30] <phantomcircuit> Segmentation Fault
[20:31] <linux_> akello or download yux and try to install mayby you can fix the problem :D
[20:31] <akello> Linux: so it's impossible?
[20:31] <Melancholia> guys i just need to know how to edit the depends part
[20:31] <cars__> akello and linux_, There are many different alternative IM programs to use in Ubuntu.  Pidgin is one of them, so is Kopete.  They are both available to be installed by packages in the repository.
[20:31] <jim_p> Melancholia: i dont know what your problem is with checkinstall? if i have used it? yes once i did a deb file
[20:31] <chang-li> hi all, server 8.10 A6 is booting up with looks like 40x25 display . Is that configured in menu.lst?
[20:31] <akello> Yux....I've never heard about it!
[20:32] <linux_> search on sourceforge
[20:32] <v3ctor> [Solars]: there is a way to boot an existing linux install from virtualbox, i have not tried it and have no idea what impact would have
[20:32]  * kendrick guesses noone can help with recordmydesktop
[20:32]  * kendrick wanders to quieter channels :)
[20:32] <linux_> for the project and you will find the source code ....
[20:32] <comicinker> !intrepid | chang-li
[20:32] <Melancholia> jim_p,  i need to know how to edit the depends section
[20:32] <popey> KennethP: i use it
[20:32] <popey> er
[20:32] <popey> bum
[20:32] <cars__> [Solars]: There is the ability to allow the VM to write directly to the HDD, but I don't know how that would work, either, since you'd be running them basically from different "hardware".
[20:33] <Jowi> Myxb, I found this https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/acpi-support/+bug/178872
[20:33] <chang-li> comicinker: yes intrepid, trying it out with a new package software, citadel.
[20:33] <cars__> [Solars]: Perhaps if you had a home directory each shared and could write to it would have less of an impact than sharing the entire root filesystem.  I could be way off with this
[20:34] <Melancholia> jim_p, i tried --requires but it the version of the dependency cannot be stored
[20:34] <jim_p> Melancholia: sorry i dont know that
[20:34] <jim_p> :(
[20:34] <jim_p> !checkinstall
[20:34] <azraelpc> I'm having issues getting the Flash Player to work
[20:34] <linux_> car_s Yux is a clone off YM for windows
[20:34] <Melancholia> jim_p,  thanks anyway :) np
[20:34] <azraelpc> I've installed flashplayer-nonfree using Synaptic already
[20:35] <Myxb> Jowi: i do not have that file on my system
[20:35] <LogicalDash> Is there a window list that i can run outside of a panel? I want it in its own window so that I can make it big and search through it.
[20:35] <chang-li> ubottu: i understand might be broken packages in intrepid, but the server comman line boots into 40x25 display. odd. is that fixable via grub men.lst?
[20:35] <azraelpc> any ideas, jim?
[20:35] <Melancholia> ***so any guys over there ever used Checkinstall ???
[20:36] <Melancholia> ubottu, thanks i know wat checkinstall is
[20:36] <PostersandGuitar> Hello, does anyone know the way to expand the size of the ubuntu partiton without reinstalling, or to allow Wine to access a mounted drive?
[20:37] <[Solars]> v3ctor how do you make that happen?
[20:37] <v3ctor> [Solars]: llike i said, i have not done it. maybe the guys in #vbox can help
[20:37] <cnorman> postersand : http://gparted.sourceforge.net/
[20:37] <linux_> oh i fix a problem and i get another one :((
[20:37] <linux_> someone know how to fix this :P
[20:37] <linux_>  cd  && /bin/sh ./config.status Makefile
[20:37] <linux_> /bin/sh: Can't open ./config.status

[20:37] <Tarantulafudge> I need some help with my wifi (realtek). I upgraded to 8.10 to get support for my rtl8187b wifi but the wireless is so slow its almost unusable!
[20:38] <azraelpc> cnorman, any help for me with adobe flash player?
[20:38] <Tarantulafudge> I was barely able to get irssi to function
[20:38] <Jowi> Myxb, the file depends on what hardware you have. look manually in /sys/devices/platform/
[20:38] <azraelpc> i've already installed flashplayer-nonfree using synaptic
[20:38] <cnorman> azrealpc : 8.10?
[20:38] <cnorman> ....04
[20:39] <azraelpc> yes, cnorman, the latest version
[20:39] <akello> what are u using, madwifi or ndiswrapper?
[20:39] <Tarantulafudge> Its not out yet but its the only way I can get online
[20:39] <Tarantulafudge> akello: you talking to me?
[20:39] <cnorman> apazraelpc: t-get install  flashplugin-nonfree
[20:39] <azraelpc> 8.04, cnorman
[20:39] <cnorman> apazraelpc: apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
[20:40] <akello> Tarantu...yes
[20:40] <Tarantulafudge> akello: I tried ndiswrapper, that didn't work, I haven't tried madwifi
[20:40] <azraelpc> alright, ill try that
[20:40] <dykmn> server irc.krey.net
[20:41] <azraelpc> cnorman, it says i've installed the latest version already
[20:41] <Tarantulafudge> akello: my chipset is not atheros based
[20:41] <azraelpc> but i still get the 'GET FLASH' message in the Flash Player windows
[20:42] <cnorman> azraelpc: restarted browser session?
[20:42] <azraelpc> yup
[20:42] <PostersandGuitar> when I type ./configure it says command not found
[20:42] <cnorman> azraelpc : tried manual install?
[20:43] <Jowi> azraelpc, type "about:plugins" and see if application/x-shockwave-flash is enabled
[20:43] <azraelpc> new to linux, so no
[20:43] <dergringo_> Hmm I am not able to find gnome 2.24 in official repos
[20:43] <andril> hello all
[20:43] <akello> Tara...can I chat u privately.
[20:44] <Tarantulafudge> ugg everything is so slow >.<
[20:44] <azraelpc> Shockwave Flash is first on the list
[20:44] <Batty4> azraelpc, are you running any addons?  I kept getting a similar message due to addblocker pro and no script running. :)
[20:44] <dergringo_> Version: 1:2.20.2.2
[20:44] <JohnCope> hi alla
[20:44] <azraelpc> ah... yes im running adblocker
[20:44] <Jowi> azraelpc, is it enabled Yes or No?
[20:44] <azraelpc> ill uninstall that and see if that helps
[20:44] <azraelpc> Enabled, Yes
[20:45] <Batty4> azraelpc, don't uninstall, just enable what is not working.  Should be a choice to temporarily allow.
[20:45] <Tarantulafudge> !realtek
[20:45] <azraelpc> oh ok
[20:45] <LogicalDash> By default, when I have desktop effects enabled, windows that don't have focus will have transparent title bars. How do I make them not do that?
[20:45] <Batty4> It can be annoying, but I use noscript and add blocker now, so I have to temp allow most sites.
[20:46] <Jowi> azraelpc, strange. try with another profile - "firefox -ProfileManager" in a terminal. create and use a new profile and see if that works
[20:46] <cars__> Batty4: I can't browse without them.
[20:46] <Batty4> cars__  I just started to use them when I installed Ubuntu on Sunday.  Kind of used to it now.  Used to *nix from Centos at work...
[20:47] <azraelpc> ok
[20:47] <yigal> anyone know how to create a network so two computers can use conduit to sync. evolution data?
[20:47] <TigranG> How can I add scripts to be launched once logged in on an ubuntu live cd?
[20:47] <pushnell> Hey all.  Quick noob question: if I have a 686 processor, should I be running generic or 386?
[20:48] <yigal> pushnell: my guess is generic
[20:48] <snova> how do i downgrade a package?
[20:48] <Jowi> pushnell, generic
[20:48] <Batty4> Just curious, as I know this is the wrong channel, but plenty of brilliant people here.  I've been seeing a lot of PHP and exe downloaders for various sites and I watch tons of streaming video while at work.  I wrote my first java program which grabbed almost a full season from a site.  Though I'm running into protection issues.  Thus I was wondering if anyone had any knowledge about doing so..
[20:49] <Jowi> !generic
[20:49] <[Solars]> cars__ future reference Chapt 9.9.0 in Virtualbox explians how to do it
[20:49] <pushnell> Thanks for the link
[20:50] <[Solars]> soundray future reference Chapt 9.9.0 in Virtualbox explians how to do it
[20:50] <TigranG> How can I add scripts to be launched once logged in on an ubuntu live cd?
[20:51] <jrib> TigranG: nothing will get saved that you do on a regular live cd
[20:51] <Fishscene> Hi. I'm trying to remove a directory... apparently there has been some changes to the command rmdir...
[20:51] <TigranG> jrib: I know. I'm asking how would I get a script onto the cd to run at startup.
[20:52] <Batty4> Fishscene, I use rm -rf
[20:52] <jrib> Fishscene: not really.  You probably want to use rm -r though
[20:52] <snova> Fishscene: rmdir can only get rid of directories. it can't remove files within them.
[20:52] <jrib> !startup > TigranG
[20:52] <zhaozhou> Hmm, i can't seem to get the g-keys on my g15 v.2 working. The g15daemon is in place and working properly, but xbindkeys can't see the buttons beeing pressed at all.
[20:52] <Fishscene> ah. just a sec
[20:52] <akello> TigranG...you can make your own live cd using popular tools like reconstructor with all the scripts you want.
[20:52] <jrib> !remaster > TigranG
[20:52] <yigal> so no one here is using conduit to sync their devices?
[20:52] <Batty4> Fishscene, rm -rf directory name and goodbye no more files/directories there.
[20:52] <PostersandGuitar> sudo: /etc/sudoers is mode 0777, should be 0440
[20:52] <Sephr> just in case something goes wrong, does wubi fully support the x64 alternate installer?
[20:52] <Fishscene> Perfect. Thanks
[20:52] <nicodarious> hello.  does anyone know if there's a problem with Ubuntu and the suspend/hibernate activities?
[20:52] <PostersandGuitar> what do I do? sudo: /etc/sudoers is mode 0777, should be 0440
[20:52] <Fishscene> Batty4, yes. That's what I wanted :)
[20:52] <jrib> PostersandGuitar: have you run any chmod commands recently?
[20:53] <Jowi> zhaozhou, does "xev" in a terminal register them?
[20:53] <megaflow> !startup > multiverse
[20:53] <megaflow> !startup > megaflow
[20:53] <nicodarious> i'm trying to play with it a bit and had it working until an update thatwas automatically recieved today... but i can't figure out what brok it.
[20:53] <PostersandGuitar> jrip: yes chmod 777 / or something like that
[20:53] <jrib> PostersandGuitar: recursively right?
[20:53] <PostersandGuitar> jrib: I don't know that that means
[20:53] <yigal> wow
[20:53] <jrib> PostersandGuitar: you had a -r or -R after the chmod?
[20:53] <PostersandGuitar> jrib: -R
[20:53] <zhaozhou> Jowi: nope, nothing.
[20:54] <jim_p> does anybody know how can i import .abw (abiword) documents to openoffice?
[20:54] <Jowi> zhaozhou, so there is either a driver missing or something else
[20:54] <jrib> PostersandGuitar: you've broken your box.  Backup your data and reinstall.  Why would you run that command?
[20:54] <Batty4> PostersandGuitar, Recursively basically means go into subdirectories also.
[20:54] <PostersandGuitar> I have to reinstall?!
[20:54] <zhaozhou> Jowi: Right. I'll google around.
[20:54] <PostersandGuitar> There's no other way?
[20:54] <zhaozhou> Jowi: Thanks.
[20:54] <W1MNK> unable to enter text on Unbutu 8.10 appliance, latest VMWare player running on Vista 32 Business
[20:54] <jrib> PostersandGuitar: no, not really.  Why did you run that command?
[20:54] <Sephr> asking again, does wubi fully support installing the x64 alternate installer?
[20:54] <jrib> W1MNK: see the last entry in the /topic
[20:55] <PostersandGuitar> Misread an instruction
[20:55] <jrib> W1MNK: you should probably check if it happens with 8.04.  If it does, then you should ask the vmware channel
[20:55] <snova> how do i downgrade a package to an older version?
[20:55] <Ryushi> Hello
[20:55] <jrib> snova: sudo apt-get install PACKAGE=VERSION
[20:55] <snova> jrib; oh, thanks.
[20:55] <PostersandGuitar> Isn't there a way to undo an action, or restore to a previous state?
[20:56] <PostersandGuitar> ?
[20:56] <jrib> PostersandGuitar: no.  What you have effectively done is taken a word like "peanut" and changed every letter to 'x'.  So now you have 'xxxxxx' and are asking to reverse it
[20:57] <snova> jrib: why, what did he do? mess up permissions?
[20:57] <PostersandGuitar> Linux has no restore function?
[20:57] <urthmover> peanuts are good
[20:57] <jrib> snova: yeah, recursive chmod to 777 on all of /
[20:57] <Batty4> PostersandGuitar, if you want undo Linux is not right for you.  Just be careful what you do with root.  Does ls -lR /etc/sudoers display more than one file?  I only have one there.
[20:57] <urthmover> bacula can do backups in linux
[20:57] <W1MNK> jrib, TU for advice, will check now.
[20:57] <unop> PostersandGuitar, not for something like this, no
[20:57] <jrib> PostersandGuitar: I can't even think of an instance where recursively changing permissions to 777 makes sense
[20:57] <PostersandGuitar> I mistyped!
[20:58] <snova> whoa. well, resinstallation would fix everything, but why can't he just fix the perms? it'd take a while, but better than reinstalling!
[20:58] <PostersandGuitar> I thought that I should put a / at the end of it to mean inside the current directory
[20:58] <unop> Batty4, that should only list one file anyway
[20:58] <jrib> snova: how do you propose he fix them?
[20:58] <Batty4> PostersandGuitar, chmod 440 /etc/sudoers should correct.
[20:58] <jrib> PostersandGuitar: / is root
[20:58] <Batty4> unop Thanks. :)
[20:58] <Jowi> PostersandGuitar, root is all-powerful. the system trust you (sometimes that is risky)
[20:59] <jrib> Batty4, PostersandGuitar: what Batty4 suggested will not work.  There are plenty of other files that should not be 777
[20:59] <unop> Batty4, i'm just wondering how you thought that would list more than one file?
[20:59] <bakarat> howcome network manager can't seem to play nice with /etc/network/interfaces?
[20:59] <PostersandGuitar> I'll reinstall it yet again.
[20:59] <PostersandGuitar> By the way, is it true that updating GVFS will wreck the system?
[20:59] <hateball> bakarat: it's the way it's designed
[20:59] <unop> PostersandGuitar, what you could do if you have a live CD  is propogate the permissions on the live CD's files to the real install
[20:59] <jrib> PostersandGuitar: come here before you run commands you don't understand and make sure they are safe next time
[21:00] <bakarat> hateball: well i'm having a bit of trouble with my bridge which bridges over the connection that network-manager is attending to
[21:00] <unop> PostersandGuitar, though that takes some work (and loads of patience)
[21:00] <Batty4> unop I installed ubuntu on Sunday, I just know that I have one file there.
[21:00] <jim_p> does anybody know how can i import .abw (abiword) documents to openoffice?
[21:00] <snova> you have a point. there are too many files with differing permissions to fix manually.
[21:00] <PostersandGuitar> I'll go reinstall
[21:00] <snova> it would take too long, and you'd miss a few in /usr/share more than likely.
[21:00] <snova> he left.
[21:00] <unop> Batty4, ok, but your command, it's to list one file only - even if you had /etc/sudoers2, /etc/sudoers3, etc
[21:01] <unop> snova,  there's always chmod --reference -- prop that up with find and you have a recipe
[21:01] <krussell> test please ignore
[21:01] <snova> jrib: regarding package versions, which number in the long string i see is the right one to give to apt-get
[21:01] <unop> snova, though, it won't rectify all permissions
[21:01] <crd1b> jim_p: save them from abiword in some compatible format (.odf or .rtf)
[21:02] <jrib> snova: whatever apt-cache policy shows
[21:02] <snova> unop: that wouldn't really fix things, it'd just change everything to something else.
[21:02] <Scunizi> !resolution
[21:02] <jim_p> crd1b: the files (20+) were sent to me through email and i dont have abiword install (and neither i want to install it)
[21:02] <Batty4> unop I understand what the command does.  From what I read he changed permissions on that file.  So I was giving instructions per that one file.  I guess I missed the rest of the discussion.  Also I do not know the internals of ubuntu yet.  I will... :)
[21:03] <unop> snova, what? that something else is hopefully the original permissions .. permissions of files on the live CD, shouldn't differ from them on an install (the files that matter anyway)
[21:03] <Vezir> so when is 8.10 slated to ship?
[21:03] <unop> !8.10
[21:03] <snova> unop: oh, i see. good idea.
[21:03] <mystery> Hi everyone
[21:03] <snova> unop: too bad he already left.
[21:04] <snova> unop: but the live cd wouldn't have everything, a lot would slip through.
[21:04] <sbeh> hi, "localedef --no-archive --magic=20051014 -i en_US -c -f UTF-8 en_US.UTF-8" hangs at 100% cpu reproducable and "strace -p `pidof localedef`" gives no output, what can i do to determine whats causing this problem?
[21:04] <mystery> Does anyone know how to install window media player 10 using wine
[21:04] <unop> snova, i did say that
[21:04] <sbeh> mystery: use mplayer
[21:04] <crd1b> jim_p: I'm not aware of anything other than abiword that can open them
[21:05] <jim_p> mystery: why do you want all that bloat?
[21:05] <crd1b> abiword is quite small though
[21:05] <alec> im trying to install xubuntu on a power pc, and i have some questions.
[21:05] <unop> !ask | alec
[21:05] <jim_p> crd1b: abiword is small, but my files are many! anyway thanks for your kelp
[21:05] <jim_p> *help
[21:05] <mystery> Sbeh: I downloaded a program that im running on wine and it gives me an error mesage saying that it needs windows media player to run properly
[21:06] <alec> unop: sorry, im wondering if there is a way to install xubuntu without going through the setup wizard
[21:06] <snova> mystery: what is it?
[21:06] <mrtubby> is there a list of what default groups do what... aka where can i figure out what adding a user to adm allows them to do
[21:06] <Fishscene> alec, you may be able to setup an "OEM install" using the alternative cd
[21:06] <megaflow> Can I ask about not asking questions before I ask a question about a question I have?
[21:06] <wits_> Hi, my laptop's wifi isn't working or even registering, even though all documentation says it should be.  What should I do?
[21:06] <unop> alec, i'm not sure what you mean - as the only way to install ubuntu is via the setup wizard
[21:06] <Fishscene> But that's as far as my knowledge goes
[21:06] <jrib> mystery: did you check appdb.winehq.org?
[21:06] <mystery> I downloaded a program called testout that is a tutorial for A+ certification
[21:06] <sbeh> mystery: i think the program needs some libs/dll of wmp, a wine-installation based on a real installed windows could help
[21:06] <snova> i'm getting an error trying to run kmail after an upgrade: 'kmail: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libkmailprivate.so: undefined symbol: _ZN15KFolderTreeItem13setFolderSizeEx'
[21:07] <alec> unop: ok, that answers my question.
[21:07] <unop> alec, though, you're safer off using the alternative CD and the debian-installer it uses
[21:07] <PEAKTOP> hi all :)
[21:07] <mystery> sbeh: ok im kind of new to ubuntu im a lil confused
[21:07] <alec>  unop: where can i download the alternative cd
[21:08] <ompaul> !away > PEAKTOP^sleep
[21:08] <crd1b> jim_p: abiword appears to have a command line converter: abiword file.abw --to rtf -o file.rtf
[21:08] <unop> !alternative | alec
[21:08] <sbeh> mystery: this does nothing have todo with ubuntu, just read wine-documentation und which methods to start from
[21:08] <Finnish> How do I see in console how much is net bandwith in/out at the moment?
[21:08] <Sephr> will using wubi to install 64-bit ubuntu using the install in windows option (on 32-bit windows) restrict you to 32-bit things?
[21:08] <snova> Finnish: ifconfig
[21:08] <mystery> ok
[21:08] <jim_p> crd1b: will it convert to something like a .txt?
[21:08] <unop> Finnish, ntop might help
[21:08] <sbeh> mystery: i've you're new to not-windows in generall, you should besser use the system some time, befor you start to frickl :P
[21:09] <alec> unop: the disk boots, but it runs impossibly slow and the screen is black on the right side and the top of the screen is running up from the bottom if that makes any sense at all.
[21:09] <jim_p> Finnish: like ifconfig?
[21:09] <wits_> Can somebody help me troubleshoot my wifi?
[21:09] <crd1b> jim_p: abiword --help lists txt as one of the choices for --to
[21:09] <unop> alec, is this with the regular CD?
[21:09] <sbeh> snova: try to update all deps of kmail (ldd /usr/lib/libkmailprivate.so could help too)
[21:09] <jim_p> thanks crd1b i will give it a shot
[21:09] <Sephr> it seems the last 3 questions I asked in #ubuntu over the last 2 hours have been ignored
[21:09] <jim_p> wits_: what happened?
[21:09] <mija> hi all
[21:09] <jim_p> Sephr: what di you ask?
[21:09] <ikonia> Sephr: no, people may not have the answer
[21:09] <jim_p> hi
[21:10] <mija> is some one advanced with bash scripting? my one liner will not work
[21:10] <snova> sbeh: good idea. i think there's still a lot of x related libraries left to update.
[21:10] <alec> i downloaded xubuntu feisty fawn, I am assuming its the regular one.
[21:10] <Sephr> well here were 2 questions:
[21:10] <unop> mija, ask your question - if it's complex, there's #bash
[21:10] <Sephr> 1: can wubi install the alternate x64 ubuntu?
[21:10] <snova> Sephr: two hours is a long time to scroll back up the window. try asking again :)
[21:10] <wits_> jim_p: I'm not exactly sure, but my wifi doesn't work even though all Ubuntu documentation says that it should be supported
[21:10] <Sephr> 2: will using wubi to install 64-bit ubuntu using the install in windows option (on 32-bit windows) restrict you to 32-bit things?
[21:11] <mija> if [ lynx -head -dump http://some.ssh.server:22/ | grep SSH=SS* ]; then echo "right"; else echo "restore";fi  ----------- i get everytime a restore then a right.... ;(
[21:11] <alec> unop: will the alternate cd possibly remedy the problem?
[21:11] <ikonia> Sephr: 1.) the alternative cd - is the same base system as the desktop, they are identical 2.) no - ubuntu will boot the kernel arch you install
[21:11] <jim_p> Sephr: both of them are difficult and requre to know about WUBI, not ubuntu or linux
[21:11] <Sephr> and 3: do I need the alternate ubuntu to supported my raid drives if I install it under windows
[21:11] <jim_p> 3) depends on your raid
[21:11] <ikonia> Sephr: what setup is your raid drives (hardware raid/fake raid/windows raid
[21:11] <unop> alec, well, it possibly could -- as it does not load the graphics drivers during install - though you will have to spend time setting that up when finished.
[21:11] <ompaul> Sephr, have a look here it might help - it is the official help http://wubi-installer.org/support.php
[21:11] <sbeh> mija: grep SSH=SS without asterisk
[21:11] <Sephr> jim_p: RAID-0
[21:12] <ikonia> Sephr: hardware/fake/windows raid ?
[21:12] <unop> mija, you do not need to use [ there
[21:12] <jim_p> wits_: what wifi card do you have?
[21:12] <Sephr> hardware RAID
[21:12] <ikonia> Sephr: raid0 is a dangerous technology, more so for cross-platform file systems
[21:12] <sbeh> hi, "localedef --no-archive --magic=20051014 -i en_US -c -f UTF-8 en_US.UTF-8" hangs at 100% cpu reproducable and "strace -p `pidof localedef`" gives no output, what can i do to determine whats causing this problem?
[21:12] <alec> unop: ok. thanks ill give that a try.
[21:12] <unop>  if lynx -head -dump http://some.ssh.server:22/ | grep SSH=SS* ; then echo "right"; else echo "restore";fi
[21:12] <ikonia> Sephr: is the raid controller on the motherboard ?
[21:12] <Sephr> yes
[21:12] <ikonia> Sephr: then it's fake raid
[21:12] <ikonia> Sephr: I suggest you don't attempt to use that with linux
[21:12] <ikonia> Sephr: even less so with raid 0
[21:12] <jim_p> ikonia got me
[21:12] <unop> sbeh, he might want the asterisk - it is a valid regex metacharacter
[21:12] <mija> how i can made it with asteriks
[21:12] <mija> or something similar
[21:12]  * Sarunas labas vakaras
[21:12] <jim_p> wits_: what wifi card do you have?
[21:13] <mija> its for auto restore servers
[21:13] <unop> mija, well, what are you hoping to grep there?
[21:13] <Sephr> well ikonia, there has to be a way to install ubuntu on fake raid
[21:13] <agurchik> hello people
[21:13] <ikonia> Sephr: no there doesn't
[21:13] <mija> make a try with
[21:13] <wits_> jim_p: It's an Intel card - I think it was 2200BG
[21:13] <unop> !enter | mija
[21:13] <mija> lynx -head -dump http://apt.bash.ch:22/ | grep SSH
[21:13] <agurchik> [mija] labas amzule
[21:13] <agurchik> uj
[21:13] <agurchik> :D
[21:13] <ikonia> Sephr: but there is, but a.) don't do it through wubi b.) don't do it at all, it's a terrible technology c.) don't use raid 0 for your raid disks
[21:13] <Sarunas> ;]]
[21:13] <jim_p> wits_: give me a sec to check my "logs"
[21:14] <unop> mija, why are you using grep there? i mean, what exactly are you filtering?
[21:14] <wits_> jim_p: Cool, thanks
[21:14] <agurchik> jim_p, o tu nepisk proto
[21:14] <agurchik> :DDD
[21:14] <hiptobecubic> what?
[21:14] <agurchik> don't wory by happy
[21:14] <jim_p> wits_: meanwhile, do an lspci / lsudb to find out if it really is intel 2200BG
[21:14] <mija> unop, if i get a wrong respones (not SSH)  i will start the restore script
[21:14] <mija> the echo's are only for testing
[21:15] <wits_> jim_p: Yeah, lspci says it's an Intel 2200 BG
[21:15] <unop> mija,  if lynx -head -dump http://some.ssh.server:22/ | grep 'SSH' ; then echo "right"; else echo "restore";fi
[21:16] <jim_p> wits_: try this " sudo modprobe ipw2200 "
[21:16] <Guest22467> argggg!
[21:17] <Guest22467> I cant get my screen resolution sorted
[21:17] <Guest22467> nice computer
[21:17] <mija> unop, why im don't need the =
[21:17] <Guest22467> shit resolution!
[21:17] <ikonia> Guest22467: watch your langauge please
[21:17] <snova> is it really that dangerous to enable the intrepid repos?
[21:17] <the_eraser> i dont like gnome
[21:17] <wits_> jim_p: Okay, done
[21:17] <Guest22467> sorry
[21:17] <tpg> hello, i have a problem regarding Firefox
[21:17] <ikonia> Guest22467: state your problem clearly
[21:17] <ikonia> oops
[21:17] <ikonia> snova: yes
[21:17] <megaflow> What does "What is "Individual CPU nice time" mean?
[21:17] <ikonia> Sephr: yes
[21:17] <tpg> When i start Firefoxi get a blank page(while the settings are turned on for: show home page), when i visit a website i dont see the link of the website in the link-bar.. nor can i bookmark any website
[21:17] <FloodBot1> ikonia: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[21:17] <snova> ikonia: why?
[21:17] <ikonia> snova: because they are not stable
[21:17] <tpg> Im using Ubuntu 8.04.1 atm with Openbox, without openbox its normal i think
[21:17] <jim_p> wits_: does your wireless work now?
[21:17] <unop> mija, because that's not how grep works - it returns a true status if it find what you specify, or it returns false otherwise - you are just testing this status with if
[21:17] <ikonia> snova: and they are not to be used with any OS other than 8.10
[21:18] <unop> mija, in this case, if grep finds SSH, it returns 0 (TRUE) - which tells if to run the command -  echo "right"
[21:18] <mija> ah lol.... now i understand... thanks a lot for your help unop.
[21:18] <snova> ikonia: all right. i guess since i haven't even completely updated to hardy yet, i should stay out of the beta stuff for now.
[21:18] <jim_p> tpg: link bar? like "address bar?
[21:18] <tpg> thats right
[21:18] <Faithman> howdy
[21:18] <ikonia> snova you should not use 8.10 repos with 8.04
[21:18] <ikonia> snova: ever
[21:19] <jim_p> tpg: remove every tool on the toolbar and re-add it
[21:19] <Guest22467> can someone please help me sort out my screan res.
[21:19] <Mimi> does pulseaudio work already? i mean, can i listen to sounds from diferent programs now?
[21:19] <ikonia> Guest22467: state your issue clearly and accuratly
[21:19] <fimp> hi
[21:19] <the_eraser> is intrepid alpha stable for use yet?
[21:19] <ikonia> the_eraser: no
[21:19] <ikonia> the_eraser: it's not been released, so it's not stable
[21:19] <megaflow> What does "What is "Individual CPU nice time" mean?
[21:19] <ikonia> the_eraser: it's not due out for another month
[21:20] <Mimi> !resolution  | Guest22467,
[21:20] <the_eraser> ikonia: ok
[21:20] <tpg> ok, i will try that
[21:20] <ikonia> megaflow: nice is "prority" on a cpu so an application can have "priority" on individual cpu
[21:20] <vassler> hello: any channels deticated to autoicity?
[21:20] <ikonia> vassler: search
[21:20] <ikonia> vassler: this is ubuntu support, not an channel list
[21:20] <aantn> hello
[21:20] <vassler> i know
[21:21] <tpg> jim_p: the toolbar of firefox?
[21:21] <fimp> do you know why Amarok global keys do not work?
[21:21] <vassler> where do i get help with my problem
[21:21] <aantn> I just submitted a sponsorship form for UDS, but I received an error page
[21:21] <megaflow> What does "Individual CPU sys time" mean?
[21:21] <ikonia> vassler: depends on your problem
[21:21] <Guest22467> Thanks ubottu!!
[21:21] <jim_p> tpg: yes
[21:21] <Guest22467> whoever you are
[21:21] <ikonia> megaflow: I've just told you
[21:21] <ikonia> megaflow: scroll back up
[21:21] <Stavros> is there a wordlist in ubuntu?
[21:21] <Mimi> Guest22467,  that was me ^^  hope it worked
[21:22] <megaflow> ikona:  you told me about nice
[21:22] <ikonia> Stavros: what do you mean by word list
[21:22] <megaflow> I'm asking about sys time.
[21:22] <megaflow> see:  Individual CPU sys time
[21:22] <ikonia> megaflow: I explained
[21:22] <unop> Stavros,  /usr/share/dict/words  ??
[21:22] <Stavros> ikonia: like, the list of words to check passwords against, to prevent common words
[21:22] <megaflow> ikonia:  You explained nice
[21:22] <Stavros> unop: there's nothing there for me :/
[21:22] <ikonia> megaflow: this is not an ubuntu question, is a generic linux quesiton
[21:22] <ikonia> megaflow: no - re-read it
[21:22] <ikonia> Stavros: cracklib is common
[21:22] <vassler> does anyone know how to increace volume on a mp3 file
[21:22] <vassler> ??
[21:23] <megaflow> nice is "prority" on a cpu so an application can have "priority" on individual cpu
[21:23] <ikonia> vassler: re-encode it
[21:23] <AshyIsMe> hello
[21:23] <Stavros> ikonia: isn't there something installed on every linux system?
[21:23] <unop> Stavros, try installing the  dictionaries-common package
[21:23] <Stavros> ikonia: something like what unop mentioned
[21:23] <Mimi> vassler,    use  audacity
[21:23] <AshyIsMe> so is the compiz expo feature meant to be so crap?
[21:23] <Fishscene> How do I get a list of running processes?
[21:23] <Stavros> unop: ah, thanks
[21:23] <megaflow> I'm asking "What is 'Individual CPU sys time'?".
[21:23] <ikonia> Stavros: cracklib
[21:23] <AshyIsMe> it just zooms out and shows the virtual desktops
[21:23] <vassler> mimi: any idea how i do that?
[21:23] <ikonia> megaflow: its nice on an indiviual cpu - as I said
[21:23] <AshyIsMe> that's pretty useless
[21:23] <ikonia> megaflow: this is "linux" help, not ubuntu support you may have beeter luck in ##linux
[21:23] <Mimi> vassler,  Effect -> Amplify
[21:24] <vassler> mimi: thank you!
[21:24] <Mimi> :)
[21:24] <megaflow> megaflow: this is "linux" help
[21:24] <megaflow> ??
[21:24] <Stavros> vassler: you can use mp3gain
[21:24] <ikonia> megaflow: yes, this channel is for ubuntu support, not generic linux help
[21:24] <unop> !linux
[21:24] <Stavros> vassler: to normalise it
[21:24] <Guest22467> mimi, I just get a response that say's "no such file directory
[21:24] <Stavros> the dict was in cracklib2, thanks
[21:25] <ikonia> Stavros: didn't I say that 2 times ?
[21:25] <ElijahDuBarryVT> What type must be my swap partition, primary or logical, and my boot partition - primary or logical, and what must be placement, begibing or end? Thanks!
[21:25] <tpg> jim_p: it seems like editing the toolbar doesnt really work, i have found 2 errors though in the error console
[21:25] <unop> Stavros, dict is provided by many packages - cracklib is just one of them
[21:25] <ElijahDuBarryVT> What type must be my swap partition, primary or logical, and my boot partition - primary or logical, and what must be placement, begibing or end? Thanks!
[21:25] <unop> ElijahDuBarryVT, stop repeating
[21:25] <ikonia> ElijahDuBarryVT: doesn't matter
[21:25] <ElijahDuBarryVT> sorry
[21:25] <megaflow> What is "Individual CPU sys time"?
[21:25] <ElijahDuBarryVT> are you shure?
[21:25] <ikonia> megaflow: stop asking
[21:26] <ikonia> megaflow: 1.) I've told you 2.) this is not an ubuntu support question
[21:26] <tpg> jim_p: 3 errors auctully now
[21:26] <Stavros> unop: i installed dictionaries-common and it didn't provide that file
[21:26] <Stavros> ikonia: you did, i was confirming
[21:26] <ikonia> Stavros: ahhh good
[21:26] <Stavros> ikonia: but it seems that it's a french wordlist
[21:26] <Mimi> Guest22467,  at which step do you get that message
[21:26] <ikonia> Stavros: you can get seperate word lists for languages and topics
[21:26] <jim_p> tpg: i dont know then. the error console i think shows errors related to pages, like some css fault
[21:27] <unop> Stavros, running  dpkg -S /usr/share/dict/words  gives me wamerican, dictionaries-common: /usr/share/dict/words
[21:27] <megaflow> ikonia:  Who are you?
[21:27] <Stavros> ikonia: i don't really need one, i remember that linux had an english one preinstalled and wanted to find out where it was
[21:27] <Stavros> unop: let me run that
[21:27] <Guest22467> well I just type in what you asked starting from << to >> and then pushed enter and this time all it gave me was '>'
[21:27] <ikonia> megaflow: no-one, and it doesn't matter, that doesn't change the fact that I've told you and it's not an ubuntu question
[21:27] <sullyva86> how come firefox session restore doesn't work? I have to manually close firefox because if it crashes or a logout/restart without closing it first then it doesn't save pages?
[21:27] <unop> Stavros, as does.  apt-file search /usr/share/dict/words
[21:27] <alex_dinamo> guys... I have a question... shouldn't there be a hotplug script on /etc/init.d for Ubuntu 8.04?
[21:27] <ikonia> alex_dinamo: hotplug is dead
[21:27] <ikonia> alex_dinamo: udev intergrated it a good few releases ago
[21:27] <megaflow> ikonia:  Just ignore my posts if you are no one.  You are rude.  back off.
[21:27] <ikonia> alex_dinamo: about 1.5 years
[21:27] <Stavros> unop: only dictionaries-common for me, hmm
[21:27] <tpg> jim_p: ok thanks for your assistance, do you happen to know any way reinstall Firefox or?
[21:28] <alex_dinamo> ikonia, I see...
[21:28] <ikonia> megaflow: stop taking the channel offtopic
[21:28] <ilembitov> Hi, all. Can anyone give me a link to screenshots of the 8.10 artwork? I believe, today is artwork freeze
[21:28] <Stavros> unop, ikonia: anyway thank you both
[21:28] <unop> alex_dinamo, only if you have hotplug installed
[21:28] <ikonia> ilembitov: join #ubuntu+1
[21:28] <babaklinux> A music messaging session has been requested. Please click the MM icon to accept.
[21:28] <babaklinux> my pidof for firefox is 6290 but when I type killall 6290 this error appear 6290: no process killed
[21:28] <babaklinux>  why?
[21:28] <megaflow> ikonia:  you are wierd.
[21:28] <megaflow> ikonia:  cool out
[21:28] <ikonia> megaflow: re-read my responses and you'll see the resposes
[21:28] <unop> babaklinux, because you need kill not killall
[21:28] <ikonia> megaflow: sorry, you'll see the answer, but your question is nothing to do with ubuntu - so offtopic here as I've said
[21:28] <hagna> hardware acceleration has been off ever since I tried to fix X in the recovery menu.  How can I get it back?
[21:28] <theCzar> hey guys, i have a question, I have a private and public key for ssh, how do I encrypt a file with one of those keys?  Or are ssh keys only useful for ssh?  would i need to use something else?
[21:28] <biouser> how to recursively map one directory tree to an empty folder with ln -s, symbolic link?
[21:28] <Mimi> ilembitov,  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork?action=show&redirect=ArtworkTeam
[21:29] <alex_dinamo> ikonia: ok... by any chance, do you know how to get a Laserjet 1020 working on 8.04 now there is no htplug?
[21:29] <unop> babaklinux, your command is looking for a process named 6290
[21:29] <jarco_> my webcam seems to have very weird images. i have msi m677 someone has drivers?
[21:29] <snova> i've been told that it's not a good idea to enable intrepid repos, but is it reasonably safe to download, say, half a dozen individual packages for purposes of compiling sources that depend on them?
[21:29] <ikonia> alex_dinamo: udev works in the same way as hotplug (basiclly)
[21:29] <babaklinux> unop: thanks
[21:29] <jim_p> tpg: remove it >> sudo apt-get remove firefox --purge, delete a folder inside your /home named .mozilla and averything will return to 0. install after that
[21:29] <ikonia> alex_dinamo: udev now contains the hotplug service
[21:29] <ElijahDuBarryVT> What is the diferent between sda and hda?
[21:29] <unop> theCzar, the gpg manpage should tell you how to encrypt a file
[21:29] <ikonia> alex_dinamo: /etc/udev.d for the rules,
[21:29] <tpg> ok, thanks
[21:29] <ikonia> ElijahDuBarryVT: old name format for disks and new
[21:29] <alex_dinamo> ikonia: ok, let me have a look
[21:29] <snova> ElijahDuBarryVT: i think it has something to do with the hd type.
[21:29] <ElijahDuBarryVT> who is new?
[21:30] <ikonia> alex_dinamo: works int he same way as hotplug, just doesn't pass hotplug -> udev, just does udev
[21:30] <ikonia> ElijahDuBarryVT: hda=old sda=new
[21:30] <ElijahDuBarryVT> thanks :)
[21:30] <theCzar> unop: oh so I should use gpg?  ok thanks! (sorry I'm kind of a n00b at public/private key encryption)
[21:30] <ikonia> ElijahDuBarryVT: hda=used be ida sda used to = scsi
[21:30] <unop> theCzar, gpg is used for authenticating and encrypting email too
[21:30] <jarco_> my webcam seems to have very weird images. i have msi m677 someone knows how to find drivers or to improve the view?
[21:30] <aliciapg> does anybody know how to install the eclipse jdt?
[21:30] <snova> aliciapg: just install the eclipse packages.
[21:30] <ElijahDuBarryVT> No more questions from me, bye and have a nice night :)
[21:30] <unop> theCzar, there are other applications of gpg - but these are perhaps the two most common
[21:30] <tpg> jim_p: thanks alot, its fixed now :)
[21:31] <aliciapg> and that includes everything?
[21:31] <unop> theCzar, if you are looking to encrypt a file with a passphrase - openssl might be better
[21:31] <jim_p> tpg: :) you are welcome
[21:31] <snova> aliciapg: i think so.
[21:31] <aliciapg> alright thanks
[21:31] <vassler> mimi: how do i reduce bass on an mp3? any idea?
[21:32] <snova> aliciapg: yes, i just checked- eclipse depends on eclipse-jdt, so you'll get the java stuff
[21:32] <theCzar> unop: ok, cool, so I can do it all through the shell.  I'm logged in remotely, so i don't have a GUI
[21:32] <Mimi> vassler,  im not too good with editing sound,  but i think  effect -> equalizer
[21:33] <Faithman> http://news.softpedia.com/news/Optimize-Ubuntu-8-04-for-Speed-86405.shtml ..anyone every try these lovely tweaking techniques?
[21:34] <ikonia> Faithman: I suggest you follow official ubuntu docs over random stuff like that
[21:34] <DoTToR_GaLLiaNi> hi
[21:34] <iceman> hello
[21:34] <deus> could anyone tell me what the advantage of a filesystem in userspace (FUSE) is?
[21:34] <tpg> jim_p: I also have a issue here, with Openbox that is, when i try to change something at obmenu(which i downloaded) it doesnt want to save or cant save..
[21:34] <Faithman> ikonia: oko thanks :)
[21:34] <deus> i'm reading about it, but nobody seems to mention the advantages :)
[21:34] <Mimi> Faithman,  i tried a different guide with about 10 steps, it did work pretty nice
[21:34] <Faithman> Mimi: would you happen to have a link?
[21:35] <jim_p> tpg: there is some command that reloads the openbox (the wm and the menu). i dont remember it right now :(
[21:35] <blinkiz_home> deus, I think the advantage is more flexibility, can be run without being root most of the times.
[21:35] <jim_p> tpg: after you are done with editing, you need to reload the menus
[21:35] <DoTToR_GaLLiaNi> go ac milan!!!!!!!
[21:35] <Hawered> lol
[21:35] <ikonia> DoTToR_GaLLiaNi: not in here please
[21:36] <Mimi> ah faithman it was so long ago ^^
[21:36] <ompaul> !offtopic
[21:36] <jarco_> my webcam seems to have very weird images. i have msi m677 someone knows how to find drivers or to improve the view?
[21:36] <Faithman> Mimi:  haha understood, ill take a gander around, thanks
[21:36] <Guest22467> Mimi, Can I please ask you a quick question
[21:36] <DoTToR_GaLLiaNi> ikonia no football?
[21:36] <deus> but what's the advantages that it runs in userspace?
[21:36] <ikonia> DoTToR_GaLLiaNi: no

[21:36] <ikonia> !offtopic > DoTToR_GaLLiaNi
[21:36] <Guest22467> thanks, I went to that web page you showed me
[21:36] <ikonia> DoTToR_GaLLiaNi: please read the pm from ubottu
[21:36] <Guest22467> so they gave me a fix
[21:36] <tpg> jim_p: ok, im going to look into that on the internet, thankyou :)
[21:37] <jim_p> tpg: you are welcome again
[21:37] <Guest22467> it looks like this:sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.custom
[21:37] <Guest22467> md5sum /etc/X11/xorg.conf |sudo tee /var/lib/x11/xorg.conf.md5sum
[21:37] <Guest22467> sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[21:37] <Guest22467> do I type that all in at once?
[21:37] <DoTToR_GaLLiaNi> ikonia speak italian?
[21:37] <Guest22467> I feel like a retard here
[21:37] <Guest22467> but I just don't know linux!
[21:37] <Mimi> nochd_, you dont type it all at once
[21:37] <blinkiz_home> deus, That its flexible. It can be moved around without problem. It can also be used for virtual filesystems that acts like a interface for the user.
[21:38] <Guest22467> or programing
[21:38] <jim_p> Guest22467: type them one by one at a terminal!!
[21:38] <Guest22467> ok!
[21:38] <blinkiz_home> deus, FUSE is much slower than kernel filesystems. Because of this, its not used everywhere.
[21:38] <Guest22467> but when I type the first sentence in it asks for a password
[21:38] <ikonia> Guest22467: that is your user password
[21:38] <Guest22467> and then it wont let me type it?
[21:39] <Mimi> it types, it just doesnt show to you that youre typing it ;p
[21:39] <agoole> anyone using irssi ?
[21:39] <hagna> how do I get back my hardware accelerated desktop urgh

[21:40] <Mimi> Guest22467,  take your time. sorry youre having probs :(
[21:40] <agoole> Batty4: looking for a way to search, and maybe a reason why it only works on one of my computers...

[21:44] <agoole> a_l_e: I never get anything with that thing, I can never find what i need, haha

[21:45] <ElijahDuBarryVT> what time is need to create boot partition?
[21:45] <Ninesvnsicks> It is
[21:45] <ompaul> !pl | Sad`Panda
[21:46] <niche> Ninesvnsicks, that's in System > Preferences > CompizConfiguration
[21:46] <Sad`Panda> ah, ok, i mean - hi :P
[21:46] <Ninesvnsicks> niche: thats in System > preferences > advanced desktop effects settings
[21:47] <niche> Ninesvnsicks, oops, it changes after you have the latest Compiz update, you must have a new install?
[21:47] <Ninesvnsicks> yea
[21:47] <bobbyd> hi
[21:48] <Ninesvnsicks> niche: yes
[21:48] <sup3rm4n> Hello, Bobbyd.
[21:48] <bobbyd> does anyone have suggestions for a good recovery linux to stick on a USB stick?
[21:48] <bobbyd> maybe damn small linux?
[21:49] <Aethelred> bobbyd: try tomsrtbt   http://www.toms.net/rb/
[21:49] <lyk3n> hello
[21:49] <Aethelred> it'll fit on a floppy
[21:50] <Ninesvnsicks> niche: snapping windows was the first thing I turned off but it didn't work
[21:50] <marli> any enviromentalists here?
[21:50] <zhaz> Anyone know a good RSS downloader? For torrents?
[21:50] <lyk3n> does anyone know if you can triple boot  a computer
[21:50] <ompaul> !offtopic | marli
[21:50] <ElijahDuBarryVT> Hey please answer me, how long it takes time to create a boot partition?
[21:50] <marli> i cant find an enviro room though
[21:50] <ompaul> !offtopic | marli
[21:50] <Jdibbons> Im having troubles installing ubuntu could i get a little help from some one? If so PM me
[21:50] <bobbyd> Aethelred: ta, I'll have a look
[21:50] <madmartian> lyk3n: no reason why not, if you have a big enough HD
[21:51] <ompaul> marli, that does not make it right to talk about it here - it is not a ubuntu support issue
[21:51] <lyk3n> madmartian: would i run into a problem with swap space
[21:51] <ompaul> !install | Jdibbons
[21:52] <madmartian> lyk3n: AFAIK each one has its own
[21:52] <Aethelred> bobbyd: it's a minimal system... if you want to boot to a GUI, you should look into something else.
[21:52] <Ninesvnsicks> Anyone else have any ideas?
[21:52] <Aethelred> You can obviously fit much more onto a flash drive
[21:52] <biouser_> what is the java (jdk) directory by default?
[21:53] <lyk3n> madmartian: i know there is a limitation on primary and logical partitions. do you know the max ?
[21:53] <marli> this mint linix is cool
[21:53] <Ninesvnsicks> I was thinking of trying that
[21:53] <Jdibbons> When I boot to the cd I burned I can verify that the cd was burned properly but when I tell it to install I get a progress bar then it dumps me to a command line. Any ideas?
[21:54] <danbh_intrepid> biouser_: you can use locate to find the java directory
[21:54] <marli> anyone know a good game from the repositry to push my 3d card
[21:54] <ompaul> !bootoptions | Jdibbons please check out this url a lot of work went into it
[21:54] <biouser_> danbh_intrepid, I have been using locate but there is a lot of crap
[21:54] <danbh_intrepid> marli: you can try tremulous or nexuiz
[21:54] <danbh_intrepid> biouser_: what are you trying to do?
[21:55] <biouser_> danbh_intrepid, this program is asking simply for the java(jdk) directory wanting the sun one
[21:55] <marli> no do 3d games exist for linux?
[21:55] <biouser_> which I have installed through the package manager some time ago
[21:55] <ActionParsnip> hey all, im doing some bash scripting to find broken symlinks
[21:55] <biouser_> danbh_intrepid,
[21:55] <ActionParsnip> marli: indeed
[21:55] <madmartian> lynk3n: no idea
[21:55] <ompaul> marli, do this >> apt-cache search 3d | less <<and see what you get back
[21:56] <ActionParsnip> marli: i have frets on fire, warzone 2100 and Dark Zone all on my Ubuntu box
[21:56] <biouser_> sry, danbh_intrepid my wireless went out for no good reason...

[21:57] <marli> just installingg warzone 2100
[21:57] <ActionParsnip> marli: plus most games run under wine
[21:57] <ActionParsnip> marli: its a good laugh, its an oldie but a goodie

[21:57] <ompaul> !offtopic | webfarmer
[21:58] <onx> ActionParsnip, could just do "find / -name...."
[21:58] <Guest70493> how do i set shorcuts for applications
[21:58] <ActionParsnip> onx: well yeah, but can you help with the rest?
[21:59] <Batty4> ActionParsnip, find / -name * -exec file {} \; | grep BROKEN
[21:59] <Batty4> Try that.
[21:59] <ActionParsnip> onx: when you execute file <some link> and its broken it outputs the word BROKEN
[21:59] <surial> Hey guys. nm-applet isn't working for a particular network. I pick the network, enter the password, and .... nothing. Where does nm-applet log problems?
[21:59] <onx> Actj
[21:59] <Gin> hi, are there gnome 2.24 packages for Ubuntu ?

[21:59] <onx> ActionParsnip, sorry  but no
[21:59] <ray__> i am having an issue with skype, i cant get sound to work i have alsa drivers installed, but i have an nVidea motherboard
[22:00] <HUNTER_byte> I want Monday be the first day of the week. Is there a global option for that in GNOME or elsewhere?
[22:00] <ikonia> Gin: in ubuntu 8.0 only
[22:00] <andril> any at all - i need something to kick users off my network - please
[22:00] <lyk3n> Guest70493: right click create launcher and input the command for the application. you can also alias a command, and later call it whatever you want in the command line
[22:00] <Gin> ikonia, 8.0??
[22:00] <Batty4> ActionParsnip, what are you trying to do?  What I wrote will execute file on every item found in / and search for BROKEN
[22:01] <ActionParsnip> Batty4: im trying to find all broken symlinks. If you run file on a broken link it will say its broken, we can grep this output to see if there are any broken ones around
[22:01] <ikonia> Gin: 8.10
[22:02] <zigzags> anyone know how using a proxy program behind a router works? wouldnt the program need to do something to the data after it had gone through the router, and not before it?
[22:02] <marli> wicked I built some of the PCs that that game was written on BTW
[22:02] <marli> totally forgot about that
[22:02] <Gin> ikonia, why doens't canonical make it available for 8.4.1 also? since it is a LTS release.
[22:02] <ray__> i am having an issue with skype, i cant get sound to work i have alsa drivers installed, but i have an nVidea motherboard
[22:02] <ikonia> Gin: because it's not stable yet
[22:02] <ikonia> Gin: LTS is a long term release aimed at stability
[22:03] <marli> why is my screen flikering in the background?
[22:03] <ActionParsnip> zigzags: all data goes through your router, to the proxy then out to the world
[22:03] <ompaul> andril, one user, all users apart from you, give us some context and how do they have access to the machine, ssh are they physically logged in, very little info there   but you could do sudo pkill -u UserNameGoesHere but it does not keep them out you might want to sudo nano /etc/shadow and put an asterisk in front of their usernames in the password field
[22:04] <ActionParsnip> zigzags: makes the data look like its going to the proxy and not you, the proxy hides your identity
[22:04] <jrib> Ooble: readlink -f   gives you what the symlink points to.  Check out the 'symlinks' package to find dangling symlinks
[22:04] <andril> ompaul: thanks
[22:04] <Gin> ikonia, but 2.24 is already released
[22:04] <ikonia> Gin: so ?
[22:04] <ompaul> andril, yw
[22:04] <gnuskool> zigzags: watch a tech animation at warriorsofthenet.com, it explains data and routers etc---its very straight forward
[22:05] <Batty4> ActionParsnip, I got it to work I'll show you what I used.  Created a test, hold on.
[22:05] <Nutzebahn> Hello.
[22:05] <Nutzebahn> How good is Intrepid compared to the older versions?
[22:05] <Gin> ikonia, I don't want to upgrade my system but I want gnome 2.24. what can I do?
[22:05] <ikonia> Nutzebahn: it's not finished yet
[22:05] <ikonia> Gin: nothing
[22:05] <ompaul> Nutzebahn, ask in #ubuntu+1 please
[22:05] <Nutzebahn> I know, but, how good will it be?
[22:05] <Nutzebahn> Ok.

[22:06] <Ninesvnsicks> How come I can only have one audio program use alsa at once?
[22:06] <keystr0k> any idea why my rhythmbox won't play MP3's?
[22:06] <psykidellic> So I plugged in my CD and my Ubuntu starts up Rhythmbox and nothing happens. I burn the CD to ogg and still nothing happens. I did "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras" and it says that package is in the latest version. I can move the CD plus the ogg to my Mac OS X and it works. Any ideas? I have tried Totem and Mplayer without any luck.
[22:06] <jrib> keystr0k: open nautilus and double click on an mp3.  Does that work?
[22:06] <zigzags> so a proxy program is just telling all my traffic to go to a proxy server first(after the router f course)? its not doing anything like assigning my data an IP of whatever??
[22:07] <psykidellic> Actually, none of the Mp3 or ogg plays but if I start Youtube the sound is there.
[22:07] <ActionParsnip> strAlan: thats a long way round, run sudo fdisk -l

[22:10] <ActionParsnip> strAlan: i just looked at the desired result and ignored the rest
[22:10] <Ninesvnsicks> is there a way to make it so I can play more then one audio source at a time?
[22:10] <lwizardl__> anyone ever used a ADM (Advance Digital Machine) Cash display pole?
[22:10] <zigzags> is there a way to have output text changed by certain parameters, such as having everything that would normaly output 'networkin' to output 'ntwkg' instead?

[22:12] <sahak> what are the changes?
[22:12] <zigzags> Ninesvnsicks: this is just a guess, but maybe hae each program use a different codec? that could be a lot harder than it sounds though.
[22:12] <ikonia> l337ingDisorder: show me the exact command your using and the error

[22:15] <ActionParsnip> l337ingDisorder: try  the command which glipper
[22:15] <l337ingDisorder> ikonia: that's the name of the package and nowhere during the installation process does it tell me to run anything else

[22:16] <Ninesvnsicks> so the alsa server really can only have one signal at a time?
[22:16] <ikonia> l337ingDisorder does it tell you to run "glipper"
[22:16] <ActionParsnip> !glipper
[22:16] <zigzags> idk but thats what im assuming from my experiences
[22:16] <l337ingDisorder> you'd think there'd be some part of the installation process that tells you how to actually START the program!! lol
[22:16] <redf1sh> ﻿l337ingDisorder dpkg -L *a package* shows you the contents, only way i figure that out :p

[22:17] <luminerd> Hi, I jus installed Ubuntu on my PC... and the resolution is 640 x 480. Although if I reboot, seemingly randomly, it will sometimes be 800x600.  This is a 19" monitor though, should be more like 1600x1200...
[22:17] <ActionParsnip> gnuskool: if you like it, install it
[22:17] <Goofee691> ikonia, no this was just a lvm speard across the volumes, right before i was going to try and set up a RAID5
[22:17] <ikonia> lyk3n: with what application ?
[22:17] <KoN8392> actionparsnip: cool what does that do
[22:18] <ikonia> Goofee691: then your dead
[22:18] <lyk3n> evolution
[22:18] <zvone> flash 10 someone install it?
[22:18] <ikonia> Goofee691: LVM in linux doesn't have reslliance
[22:18] <ikonia> Goofee691: not like things like hpux/aix lvm
[22:18] <l337ingDisorder> ActionParsnip: yeah they USUALLY do... which is all the more reason non-standard installs should include at least a little alert dialog that tells you how to envoke them.
[22:18] <ActionParsnip> luminerd: what graphics card do you have?
[22:18] <ActionParsnip> KoN8392: what does what do?
[22:18] <lyk3n> ikonia: Evolution
[22:18] <Goofee691> ikonia, so theirs no way to get the data back without getting the missing drive fixed?
[22:18] <l337ingDisorder> anyway thanks for the help guys! got it all workin'
[22:18] <liviu> sorry guys!
[22:18] <ActionParsnip> l337ingDisorder: sweet
[22:18] <KoN8392> network restart
[22:18] <ActionParsnip> KoN8392: pulls all networking down, then up
[22:18] <hector> someone?
[22:18] <liviu> someone can give some info about irda remote controll
[22:19] <ikonia> Goofee691 if the disks are almost empty - yes, if they had say %20 data on them, no
[22:19] <KoN8392> ok ill give it a try
[22:19] <ActionParsnip> wassup hector
[22:19] <liviu> how to link a program to be used with the remote?
[22:19] <hector> hi ActionParsnip
[22:19] <luminerd> ActionParsnip: It is Nvidia, Geforce 4 MC
[22:19] <Goofee691> ikonia, they had over 1TB of data
[22:19] <isiah> using only the terminal how can I move files from my computer to another through SSH?
[22:19] <lyk3n> ikonia: can you help me?
[22:19] <ikonia> Goofee691: gone then
[22:19] <ActionParsnip> luminerd: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx
[22:19] <strocknar> hello all! I am having difficulty with network connectivity.  I am set up using DHCP and can get an IP address, but cannot ping anything.  nslookup resolves hosts, but ping does not work outside my LAN
[22:19] <luminerd> ActionParsnip: There was a driver, that it kept telling me that Ubuntu can't support it
[22:19] <ikonia> lyk3n: with what ?
[22:19] <hector> i got a problem with some ram ( 4gb) on Ubuntu 32 bits
[22:19] <lyk3n> newgroups.
[22:19] <ikonia> lyk3n: lvm has no ressilence in it
[22:19] <ikonia> lyk3n: with what application
[22:19] <danbh_intrepid> hector: whats the problem?
[22:20] <lyk3n> ikonia: Evolution
[22:20] <ikonia> lyk3n: I don't know if evolution supports news groups
[22:20] <hector> My SO con use all the ram only 3.1 gb
[22:20] <ActionParsnip> luminerd: you could try envyng-gtk
[22:20] <ikonia> hector: 32bit is limited to 3 gig without PAE support
[22:20] <hector> and i do not want to use a 64 bit ubuntu
[22:20] <lyk3n> ikonia: how about thunderbird
[22:20] <Goofee691> ikonia, so i guess i should send the bad drive out to get repaired by some company since it should just be the PCB that failed, the PCB on the hdd likes like a shot happened on it
[22:20] <danbh_intrepid> hector: mmm, you just reminded me, I need to test my ram, I just upgraded to 4g
[22:20] <ikonia> lyk3n: yea sure
[22:20] <luminerd> ActionParsnip: I already have the most recent driver, it says when I do that command
[22:20] <ikonia> Goofee691: that would be the best option by far, then move them to a raid solution
[22:20] <Guest93792> hector: I _think_ it should "just work" - you will be limited to 4GB per process (as this is the addressable limit on a 32 bit system), however I think Linux may be able to bank the RAM to handle it
[22:21] <lacita> Hey all. I need to properly configure ALSA on my Lenovo y410 7757 laptop. I have no sound, and am running a restricted wireless driver (Intel PRO/wireless 3945). It has something to do with the intel chipset.
[22:21] <hector> is there any instruction for the kernel?=
[22:21] <ActionParsnip> luminerd: did yuo update your xorg.conf to use nvidia driver and not nv?
[22:21] <ryan_____> In TwinView, How do you make it so You can grab the title bar of a window and move it to the other screen?
[22:21] <hector> like CONFIG_HIMEM4G
[22:21] <danbh_intrepid> hector: PAE is supposedly more trouble than it is worth
[22:21] <Goofee691> ikonia, ok so id assume its safe to say that no data can be recovered from that one failed drive without the others right? because im not even sure what is on it
[22:21] <luminerd> ActionParsnip: I just used the GUI
[22:22] <ActionParsnip> luminerd: envyng?
[22:22] <ActionParsnip> !xinerama | ryan_____
[22:22] <hector> YEAP cuz PAE is it for old processors?
[22:22] <luminerd> ActionParsnip: Whatever comes with Ubuntu.  When I went to enable graphical effects, it asked me if I anted to install an unsupported 3rd party driver, and I said yes
[22:22] <snova> should i expect to have to download very large updates when intrepid comes out? i just want an idea of how big it's going to be...
[22:22] <luminerd> and it downloaded something and did it all automatically
[22:22] <ikonia> Goofee691 correct, as data is randomly spread across the disks, but with no stripe for intergrity
[22:22] <danbh_intrepid> snova: a whole cd, like 600mb
[22:22] <theshadow> how can I check the version of a package... like I have a lib installed but the name of it doesn't tell me what version it is
[22:23] <snova> ok. it could be worse.
[22:23] <ActionParsnip> luminerd: check in /etc/X11/xorg.conf that you are using the nvidia driver and not nv
[22:23] <hector> MemTotal:      3106700 kB
[22:23] <Flare183> !en
[22:23] <redf1sh> hector: You have to compile the kernel with the options set. I think its called CONFIG_HIGHMEM in your .config, dunno what the options called in a menu.
[22:23] <ryan_____> ubottu: I do not want one large display.  My system is set up for two unique displays, which is called TwinView.  My problem is grabbing one window and moving it to the other.
[22:23] <Flare183> oops sry
[22:23] <lacita> Hello?
[22:23] <Goofee691> ikonia, thank you for your help now im just wondering how much this repair is going to cost me, whats is worse is the drive still has 2 years left on its warranty but that does not cover data recovery
[22:24] <Flare183> !ask | lacita
[22:24] <redf1sh> hector: or isntall 64 bit ubuntu, which can do much more ram.
[22:24] <hector> model name	: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU     T7100  @ 1.80GHz
[22:24] <luminerd> ActionParsnip: The driver is "nvidia"
[22:24] <ikonia> Goofee691: if its pcb, shouldn't need data recovery
[22:24] <lacita> Flare183: Hey all. I need to properly configure ALSA on my Lenovo y410 7757 laptop. I have no sound, and am running a restricted wireless driver (Intel PRO/wireless 3945). It has something to do with the intel chipset.
[22:24] <strocknar> hello all! I am having difficulty with network connectivity.  I am set up using DHCP and can get an IP address, but cannot ping anything.  nslookup resolves hosts, but ping does not work outside my LAN
[22:24] <ActionParsnip> luminerd: and do you see an nvidia logo when you boot?
[22:24] <Flare183> lacita: Ok hold on
[22:24] <zigzags> whats the default download location for wget?
[22:24] <lucax> wouldnt be cool if ubuntu had a control panel like mandriva and opensuse do?
[22:24] <luminerd> ActionParsnip: not sure, I'll reboot it and find out, sec
[22:24] <lacita> Flare183: thanks
[22:25] <redf1sh> ﻿strocknar: you can ping your gateway?
[22:25] <Flare183> !intelhda | lacita
[22:25] <strocknar> zigzags: current pwd, i believe
[22:25] <hector> ok... the 2 options are good in fact i tried to use a 64 bits SO, but some app didnt work
[22:25] <zigzags> pwd?
[22:25] <strocknar> redfish: i can, yes
[22:25] <Flare183> lacita: That should help
[22:25] <strocknar> zigzags: present working directory
[22:25] <redf1sh> ﻿strocknar: and other things using the same gateway can get out?
[22:25] <zigzags> ooo
[22:25] <^paradox^> we have two computers. this one runs ubuntu 8.04 and my gf's run windows vista home. we have cable internet and vonage phone service. the two computers are on a linksys telephone router with four ethernet ports. i was hoping someone could pm me and take a little time to show me how we could share a printer and a folder
[22:25] <Flare183> zigzags: Yeah, Print Working Directory
[22:25] <strocknar> redfish: yes, they can
[22:25] <redf1sh> hector: you can try the config option, #kernel on freenode should help out there.
[22:26] <Goofee691> ikonia, that is why i hope thats all it is since the pcb turned out to be slighlly discoloured like excessive heat/a short right after a thunder storm knocked out power even though the computer in question was behind a surge stip and a UPS
[22:26] <hector> redf1sh THX
[22:26] <ActionParsnip> zigzags: or, print where (im) didllin
[22:26] <luminerd> ActionParsnip: I did not see an nVidia logo
[22:26] <redf1sh> ﻿strocknar: weird, your certain there's no odd filters set up on your router (or possibly your own box)? If its reaching the gateway it should in theory be the gateways problem now.
[22:26] <lacita> Flare183: I think it’s driver issue because I see it everywhere regarding the lenovo 3000 series.
[22:26] <redf1sh> ﻿hector: np
[22:26] <ActionParsnip> luminerd: then its not loaded
[22:27] <ActionParsnip> luminerd:  heres mine http://pastebin.com/f7b6a685a
[22:27] <strocknar> redf1sh: I wouldn't think so.  I have another box with arch-linux installed that seems to work just fine.  I am using an old dapper install (trying to dist-upgrade), but I don't think that would cause anything
[22:27] <ActionParsnip> luminerd: i'd add the lines in the screen section about resolutions and refresh rates
[22:28] <iceman> lacita
[22:28] <strocknar> redf1sh: /etc/hosts.allow had nothing, and I changed it to ALL:ALL to make sure.  hosts.deny is blank
[22:28] <redf1sh> ﻿strocknar: hmm, thats no fun. Can you ping other machines on the network?
[22:28] <ActionParsnip> luminerd: backup the current one, then edit with gksu gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[22:28] <luminerd> brb
[22:28] <strocknar> redf1sh: yes
[22:29] <redf1sh> ﻿strocknar: how about 209.85.173.104 (google)
[22:29] <redf1sh> ﻿strocknar: (just to make bloody sure its not dns)
[22:29] <lacita> Anybody know how to isable acpi. in boot option?
[22:29] <strocknar> redf1sh: negative
[22:29] <iceman> grub / lilo ?
[22:30] <zigzags> im tryin to DL this program, the website tells me to run 'sudo wget -O- "http://www.cyan-networks.com/files/sweb.key" | sudo apt-key add'  but its not downloading to the folder I have CD-ed into with terminal
[22:30] <Luminerd_> Thank you for your help actionparsnip
[22:30] <strocknar> redf1sh: cannot ping yahoo or google (or IP's)
[22:30] <strocknar> redf1sh: what I don't get is that they resolve with nslookup, but won't ping
[22:30] <redf1sh> ﻿strocknar: alright... I have no idea. <Chances are> its something on your router, but of course anything possible.
[22:30] <ActionParsnip> Luminerd_: add those lines and you'll run at 1024x768
[22:30] <redf1sh> wait that is weird
[22:30] <redf1sh> ﻿strocknar: is your gateway the dns server?
[22:31] <redf1sh> ﻿strocknar: or something else?
[22:31] <Luminerd_> Can I change that to higher red?
[22:31] <Luminerd_> Res*
[22:31] <strocknar> redf1sh: something else.
[22:31] <ActionParsnip> Luminerd_: sure, just modify the file, id just get 1024x768 for now, then go from there
[22:31] <redf1sh> ﻿strocknar: no maybe its just pings that are blocked? Since for some reason your dns requests are getting out.
[22:32] <strocknar> redf1sh: what would block just pings?
[22:32] <redf1sh> ﻿strocknar: you have tcpdump installed? (Its nifty and shows you what packets your machine can see).
[22:32] <ActionParsnip> strocknar: you could use nslookup
[22:32] <redf1sh> ﻿strocknar: lots of stuff tends to... some of my systems do.
[22:32] <strocknar> redf1sh: i do have tcpdump installed
[22:33] <ActionParsnip> luminerd: any better?
[22:33] <strocknar> actionparsnip: nslookup works, but ping doesn't...it's weird...
[22:33] <ActionParsnip> strocknar: does tracert?
[22:33] <strocknar> actionparsnip: no such file installed
[22:34] <Batty4> strocknar, try traceroute tracert is for windows.
[22:34] <strocknar> batty4: command not found there, either
[22:35] <strocknar> bah...i'll take it home and see if it is just the network here.  Thanks guys!
[22:35] <Batty4> strocknar, sudo apt-get install traceroute
[22:35] <ActionParsnip> strocknar: tracert www.google.com
[22:35] <Batty4> LOL
[22:35] <ActionParsnip> why is tracert not standard
[22:35] <lacita> Anybody know how to isable acpi. in boot option?
[22:36] <Batty4> ActionParsnip, Ubuntu is more minimal than most I guess.
[22:36] <luminerd> ActionParsnip: After that just reboot?
[22:36] <luminerd> Sorry it's takin me a bit, because the linux machine is not by this one
[22:36] <gnuskool> how to replace metacity with compiz in hardy?
[22:37] <_Carrie_> hello, I have a 00:05.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation C51G [GeForce 6100] (rev a2) video card and my display couldn't be worse than it is currently. I just installed Hardy and it's terrible. Can someone help me? Thanks
[22:37] <jrib> !ccsm | gnuskool
[22:37] <jrib> gnuskool: system -> preferences -> appearance
[22:38] <gnuskool> 'compizconfig-settings-manager
[22:38] <ActionParsnip> luminerd: yeah, save and reboot
[22:38] <redf1sh> hey, does ubuntu prove a highmem kernel? is that what the server version in the repos is?
[22:38] <Batty4> _Carrie_, when setting up my video, I found easiest was: sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings; gksudo nvidia-settings
[22:38] <theshadow> how can I check the version of a package... like I have a lib installed but the name of it doesn't tell me what version it is
[22:38] <RoflCoptr> redf1sh: i think u want pae?
[22:38] <jrib> theshadow: apt-cache policy PACKAGE
[22:38] <RoflCoptr> 32 or 64bit?
[22:39] <_Carrie_> here's a preview of how awful my desktop looks after installing Hardy http://img216.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshottp8.png
[22:39] <redf1sh> roflCoptr: that would probabaly work, and 32 bit
[22:39] <RoflCoptr> yes, you want pae
[22:39] <theshadow> jrib: thank you much
[22:39] <Sad`Panda> bb
[22:40] <_Carrie_> thanks Batty4 I'll give it a try
[22:40] <Batty4> _Carrie_, mine was much worse.  Mine was so bad I was unable to use X, and was configuring from a laptop.
[22:40] <Goofee691> _Carrie_, is that ubuntu hardy or ubuntu ultimate?
[22:40] <ActionParsnip> _Carrie_: you using compiz?
[22:40] <redf1sh> ﻿RoflCoptr and the linux-image-server have pae enabled?
[22:40] <_Carrie_> yes, it's Hardy and I'm using basic compiz (nothing with ccsm, just default ubuntu compiz)
[22:40] <pfo> what's the difference between ``where'' and ``let ... in ...'' ?
[22:41] <lacita> How do i change the snd-hda-intel module?
[22:41] <pfo> wrong chan, sorry.
[22:41] <luminerd> ActionParsnip: When I did that, I now get "Ubuntu is running in low graphics mode
[22:41] <RoflCoptr> yes redf1sh
[22:41] <ActionParsnip> _Carrie_: disable the compiz rubbish... does it look ok
[22:41] <ActionParsnip> luminerd: sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings
[22:41] <Arney> anyone here have an invito to torrent leech!  i am WORTHY 5.3 ratio 106gb UL on MovieX.
[22:42] <apetrescu> I've got Ubuntu on a Macbook Pro, and I can mount the OS X partition just fine but for some reason certain directories in /Users (such as the default Music directory, for instance), are not readable from Ubuntu (permissions problems) unless I run as root. I've added the 'users' flag to the /etc/fstab entry, but still no luck. Anyone know how I can grant full read access to those dirs to non-admin users on Ubuntu
[22:42] <apetrescu> ? Thanks :)
[22:42] <_Carrie_> ActionParsnip, setting effects to "none" and the screen still looks like a freshly clubbed baby seal :(
[22:42] <ActionParsnip> !ot | arney
[22:42] <ActionParsnip> _Carrie_: then ask in #compiz
[22:42] <_Carrie_> let me restart X real quick since I've installed the nvidia drivers
[22:42] <ActionParsnip> _Carrie_: its that thats screwing your system. Compiz is 1. Worthless and 2 Breaks a lot of stuff
[22:43] <luminerd> ActionParsnip: Once I got past that dialog box though, it does appear to be in the proper resolution
[22:43] <x1250> hey guys, how can I get the font file name for "URW Gothic L" font? I need to send it to a windows machine
[22:43] <daniel_john> file://///usr/share/gnome/help/programming/C/programming.xml#_auto-gen-id-1   is producing an xml error
[22:43] <ActionParsnip> luminerd: ok cool
[22:43] <ActionParsnip> !fonts | x1250
[22:44] <luminerd> Ok I ran that command... now reboot?
[22:44] <Batty4> luminerd, run gksudo nvidia-settings to configure.  Easy to setup dual monitors and such with that.
[22:44] <itrebal> I've heard things that the Gnome network manager will be capable of handling multiple internet connections at once, is that true?
[22:44] <ActionParsnip> luminerd: no, run it in your menus
[22:44] <roukoun> when I launch an application (like emacs) from the terminal the app is launched but it gives an output like the following: /home/roukoun/.gtkrc-2.0:2: Unable to find include file: ".gtkrc-2.0-gnome-color-chooser".... can anyone help?
[22:44] <itrebal> where would I find that out?
[22:44] <Hexus> ﻿ActionParsnip:  Still here huh?
[22:44] <luminerd> ActionParsnip: Sorry run what?
[22:44] <Daft_Punk> I just got my ubuntu CD in the mail. I wanted to know if there is a mailing list I can get put on so when a new distro comes out I can just recieve it asap
[22:44] <ActionParsnip> luminerd: gksu ﻿nvidia-settings
[22:44] <luminerd> Batty4: I don't have need for dual monitors, just need to get this working and then clone it to 20 other identical machines
[22:45] <hardcore> anyone else having a vlc problem?
[22:45] <_Carrie_> Batty4, that did the trick, thank you so much :)
[22:45] <hardcore> its all buggy so i switched to dragon player
[22:45] <Batty4> luminerd, that was just an example.  The nvidia-settings that you installed, will be accessed via that command.  Giving you an easy interface to use.
[22:45] <Batty4> _Carrie_, You're very welcome.
[22:46] <luminerd> is there an IRC client that comes with Ubuntu? switching computers is getting tiring heh
[22:46] <jrib> luminerd: pidgin
[22:46] <Daft_Punk> luminerd, xchat
[22:46] <luminerd> Also it's telling me that I don't appear to be using nvidia-x
[22:46] <ActionParsnip> !irc | luminerd
[22:46] <Batty4> I never tried IRC through pidgin.  Anyone use it?
[22:46] <ActionParsnip> Batty4: i do
[22:46] <jrib> luminerd: pidgin is installed by default.  xchat is a decent gui one you can install through the package managers
[22:46] <_Carrie_> now, does anyone know if there is a tool in ubuntu that will allow me to test my 56k modem? :)
[22:47] <apetrescu> Batty4, it's not very pleasant, at least for me :(
[22:47] <jrib> !dialup > _Carrie_
[22:47] <Mccayne> i can't find my sata disks, tried unplugging and adding acpi=off noapic to boot, but nothing. anyone?
[22:47] <Batty4> Is it just like an AOL chatroom?  I'm obsessed with XChat, and when at work I just use irssi.
[22:47] <roukoun> when I launch an application (like emacs) from the terminal the app is launched but it gives an output like the following: /home/roukoun/.gtkrc-2.0:2: Unable to find include file: ".gtkrc-2.0-gnome-color-chooser".... can anyone help?
[22:47] <orgthingy> hello
[22:47] <hardcore> pidgin doesn't have xchat
[22:47] <orgthingy> I updated today, but it asked me for THE SAME EXACT updates tonight
[22:48] <orgthingy> sounds weird
[22:48] <luminerd_> ubuntu doesn't have XChat
[22:48] <orgthingy> suspecious
[22:48] <Daft_Punk> I just got my ubuntu CD in the mail. I wanted to know if there is a mailing list I can get put on so when a new distro comes out I can just recieve it asap
[22:48] <luminerd_> anyway pidgin works
[22:48] <orgthingy> Ubuntu *has* xchat
[22:48] <luminerd_> Here's the error I'm getting: You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server.
[22:48] <Batty4> luminerd, apt-get install xchat
[22:48] <apetrescu> Daft_Punk, yes, that's the ubuntu-devel-announce list :)
[22:48] <luminerd_> SHould I do as it says
[22:48] <ActionParsnip> hardcore: pidgin supports irc chat
[22:48] <luminerd_> no need Batty4
[22:48] <hardcore> its not in the accounts menu
[22:48] <KDB9000> Can someone help me with my bluetooth GPS? I am not sure how to get it to connect to my system so I can use gpsdrive or xgps to see the readers
[22:48] <Daft_Punk> apetrescu, how can i get on that list
[22:48] <apetrescu> Daft_Punk, you can sign up here: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-announce
[22:48] <danbh_intrepid> Daft_Punk: I dont think there is.  I think the preferred speedy method is through bittorrent
[22:49] <ActionParsnip> luminerd: so you got a decent screen resolution now?
[22:49] <luminerd_> umm
[22:49] <Daft_Punk> danbh_intrepid, not if you have dialup
[22:49] <Daft_Punk> apetrescu, thanks
[22:49] <luminerd_> it's still kind of low ActionParsnip
[22:49] <luminerd_> And I get the "low graphics mode" message
[22:49] <ActionParsnip> luminerd: use nvidia-settings to crank it up
[22:49] <luminerd_> and the visual effects aren't workin
[22:49] <ActionParsnip> luminerd: no bad thing
[22:49] <Tonno> Hi,... there is a command that tell me the password in ubuntu 8.04?
[22:49] <Batty4> luminerd, Did you run gksudo nvidia-settings?
[22:49] <ActionParsnip> Tonno: doesnt exist
[22:50] <danbh_intrepid> Daft_Punk: just so you know, that list is not what you are looking for.  You will still have to order through shipit, and it will still take a long time...
[22:50] <Tonno> :O......
[22:50] <jrib> Tonno: no, the password is not stored.  A hash of the password is stored
[22:50] <JFB13> hey guys I have a p3 800mhz with 192 ram what would be best desktop for this so I can write programs and watch movies with ?
[22:50] <ActionParsnip> Tonno: you set your own password
[22:50] <luminerd_> ActionParsnip: Batty4 yes, as I said, Nvidia settings gives me that error I pasted
[22:50] <roukoun> when I launch an application (e.g emacs) from the terminal the app is launched but it gives an output like the following: /home/my_username/.gtkrc-2.0:2: Unable to find include file: ".gtkrc-2.0-gnome-color-chooser".... can anyone help?
[22:50] <JFB13> xubuntu seems to be too heavy is there a lighter desktop?
[22:50] <jrib> roukoun: pastebin your ~/.gtkrc-2.0
[22:50] <ActionParsnip> roukoun: cd ~/; ls -a
[22:50] <ActionParsnip> roukoun: is the file there?
[22:51] <ActionParsnip> JFB13: fluxbox
[22:51] <Tonno> Ahh Hi ActionParsnip... thanks for the help with my grafic cardin my PC
[22:51] <BlueLaguna> How do I figure out the uuid of a hard drive?
[22:51] <ActionParsnip> JFB13: fluxbox kicks maximum ass
[22:51] <jrib> !uuid | BlueLaguna
[22:51] <Daft_Punk> danbh_intrepid, i did order through shipit and i got the cd, but the new distro is out at end of october, i dont wanna use shipit all the time, is there an automated way
[22:51] <Batty4> luminerd, ok, if you did I just learned from ActionParsnip you're setting up root with gksudo, with gksu you're setting up the user you're running.  You may have the correct setings for root now though.
[22:51] <luminerd_> ActionParsnip: In your Xorg.conf you had "subsection" right? It is telling me that is a parse error
[22:51] <hardcore> i think canonical should change their media defaults, especially for new users that want to play all their media from a default install
[22:51] <JFB13> ok will it be in the repositories or do I have to DL it?
[22:51] <BlueLaguna> jrib: thanks
[22:51] <ActionParsnip> luminerd: can you give a pastebin of your xorg.conf please
[22:51] <roukoun> ActionParsnip: no it isnt there
[22:51] <ActionParsnip> tonno: np man
[22:51] <Tonno> ;)
[22:52] <ActionParsnip> !paste | luminerd
[22:52] <Batty4> luminerd, what graphics card are you using?  I was getting an error, then I had to go to System -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers and fix issue there.
[22:52] <danbh_intrepid> Daft_Punk: as I said before, no.  I think it says so on the shipit website.  Maybe a pay service somewhere else?  I dunno
[22:52] <unop> hardcore, it's easy said - there are a number of factors that don't permit that
[22:53] <_Carrie_> haha wow, I have a Conexant HSF 56k Data/Fax Modem modem and according to your bot, I'm going to have to pay $20.00 a year for the driver!
[22:53] <hardcore> oh the dvd legal stuff, right
[22:53] <gnuskool> i just installed an update on ff3, now firefox wont start
[22:53] <jrib> _Carrie_: you just pay once, they give you upgrades
[22:53] <luminerd_> Here is my xorg.conf: http://pastebin.com/m62ed81dd
[22:53] <JFB13> ActionParsnip "thanks"
[22:53] <hardcore> at least its easily bypassed by installing other types of players
[22:53] <unop> hardcore, proprietary formats and decoders, yea
[22:53] <roukoun> jrib: how to pastebinit... ?
[22:53] <jrib> !pastebin > roukoun
[22:53] <_Carrie_> jrib, well that's the problem, I've no money, I guess it's back to windows for me lol thanks anyways.
[22:53] <ActionParsnip> JFB13: sudo apt-get install fluxbox
[22:53] <hardcore> and thats where dragon player comes in
[22:53] <unop> hardcore, right, which is why those players/codecs are not installed by default - there are legal issues
[22:54] <ActionParsnip> JFB13: logoff and change the session type, you'll have all your gnome apps, just a lighter front
[22:54] <luminerd_> I think it changed some stuff when I ran that command you told me
[22:54] <luminerd_> maybe I should reboot and see what happens
[22:54] <JFB13> ActionParsnip : ok thanks man will do have a nice day : )
[22:55] <luminerd_> brb
[22:55] <psykidellic> Alright, my ogg and mp3 are being played by Mplayer but not with RhythmBox? Any ideas?
[22:55] <mach> what kernel is in the current 8.04 ubuntu installer (alternate)
[22:56] <unop> mach, you can find out at http://packages.ubuntu.com

[22:57] <andril> anyone know a good backup program in .deb format?

[22:57] <cafuego> rdiff-backup
[22:57] <luminerd_> Ok, I got the nvidia logo, and it appears to be running at a high resolution. However somtehing weird is going in. None of the apps I launch have a title bar...
[22:58] <ActionParsnip> luminerd_: ok great, you need to add Option          "AddARGBGLXVisuals"     "True"
[22:58] <ActionParsnip> luminerd_: to the screen section
[22:58] <andril> cafuego: is it good
[22:58] <ActionParsnip> luminerd_: nvidia logo == driver is loaded
[22:59] <cafuego> andril: Install it, try it, form an opinion.
[22:59] <cafuego> andril: it works fine for me, I can't know if it's appropriate to your needs.
[22:59] <andril> cool
[22:59] <luminerd_> Any idea what could cause that? It's really weird, everything works but no title bar (so I cant drag it around)
[22:59] <cafuego> andril: It's nicely scriptable though
[22:59] <luminerd_> oh whoops
[22:59] <luminerd_> sec
[22:59] <andril> cafuego: just incase my system has to be reinstalled due to my errors -
[23:00] <luminerd_> ActionParsnip:  what section do I add that in
[23:00] <d4nii> i need help plz     http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=930047

[23:00] <WDC_> Hey, I just installed Ubuntu 804 server, and I cannot figure out what su password is. I never set it
[23:00] <ActionParsnip> luminerd_: that line fixes a weird thing for nvidia cards
[23:01] <ActionParsnip> luminerd_: i dont actually know what it is but it makes things nice
[23:01] <WDC_> What is the default su password?
[23:02] <luminerd_> just anywhere in the screen section? Not in a subsection or anythign?
[23:02] <WDC_> I JUST installed Server and I Never set the root password,
[23:02] <ActionParsnip> WDC_: there isnt one, you need to set it with sudo passwd
[23:02] <cars__> WDC_: There is no default root password.
[23:02] <chubs> WDC_, use sudo
[23:02] <WDC_> ActionParsnip: How do I do that?
[23:02] <WDC_> oh
[23:02] <ActionParsnip> WDC_: you'll never need it as your user can sudo and gksu stuff
[23:02] <antiii> Can I restore a folder I recently deleted?
[23:02] <luminerd_> brb trying with your optiopn
[23:02] <cars__> !sudo
[23:02] <ActionParsnip> WDC_: but its better to set it so it isnt blank
[23:03] <Batty4> WDC_, sudo passwd     You will be asked for your password 3 times at that time.
[23:03] <WDC_> ActionParsnip: Batty4 Thanks
[23:03] <roukoun> jrib: my .gtkrc-2.0 has only the following content: "include .gtkrc-2.0-gnome-color-chooser"
[23:03] <antiii> Any way thats possible?

[23:05] <kris> ActionParsnip: poor 1.0 celeron 128 mb ram
[23:05] <roukoun> jrib: so where can I find the .gtkrc-2.0-gnome-color-chooser?
[23:05] <kris> ActionParsnip:  but sometimes it goes right sometimes wrong
[23:05] <luminerd_> ActionParsnip: Added your option,back to no nvidia logo/low graphics mode
[23:05] <jrib> roukoun: just delet your ~/.gtkrc-2.0 (or rename it)
[23:05] <ActionParsnip> kris: are you running ubuntu or something different?
[23:05] <kris> ActionParsnip:  ubuntu 8.04
[23:05] <cars__> I finally got the ethernet to work with Samba using a single cable (connected at 1000M), but it is going extremely slow (starts a file with a boost of ~100kbps and rapidly decreases and stalls) and is unable to finish anything but the smallest files.  Does anyone know why this is happening?
[23:05] <ActionParsnip> kris: id install fluxbox or xfce-desktop
[23:06] <ActionParsnip> kris: you may also want to install your graphics drivers if you already havent
[23:06] <kris> ActionParsnip:  on fluxbox or xfce-desktop ? aren't there any ?
[23:06] <ActionParsnip> luminerd_: well your really close, what did you do before to get a good res?
[23:07] <ActionParsnip> kris: you need a lighter desktop for 128mb, xfce or fluxbox will help that
[23:07] <luminerd_> ActionParsnip: Umm, I ran some commands that you told me. nvidia-config I believe
[23:07] <bastid_raZor> I/O warning : failed to load external entity "/home/razor/.compiz/session/default0"  :how may i fix this warning?
[23:07] <ActionParsnip> luminerd_: gksu nvidia-config
[23:08] <ActionParsnip> luminerd_: you can run history to see the last commands
[23:08] <luminerd_> I should do that again?
[23:08] <kris> ActionParsnip:  ok thx for tip
[23:08] <cafuego> bastid_raZor: warnings you generally don't worry about, only errors.
[23:08] <bruenig> kris: or use dwm
[23:08] <luminerd_> I ran that I also ran without the gksu
[23:08] <luminerd_> and it told me to run nvidia-xconfig
[23:08] <luminerd_> that's probably what did it
[23:08] <bastid_raZor> cafuego; well, it seems to the only warning i get that may explain why compiz does not properly load my settings
[23:09] <ActionParsnip> kris: if you run lspci you will see what you have and you can install from there
[23:09] <ActionParsnip> kris: id also get some more ram if you can, SDRAM is pretty cheap
[23:09] <jasunto> does anyone know why i cant use srm on ubuntu, thats secure remove, does it need install?
[23:10] <andril> any opinions to zeroinstall?
[23:10] <kris> hmmm
[23:11] <PostersandGuitar> Is it still unsafe to update GVFS
[23:11] <luminerd_> ActionParsnip: Should I run that command again?
[23:11] <bastid_raZor> jasunto; srm does not exist in hardy.
[23:12] <kris> ActionParsnip:  burening: what can i do right now? on my computer ubuntu sholdnt ever go but it does maybe i can fasten it by removing software?
[23:12] <ActionParsnip> luminerd_: whatever made it work, do it
[23:12] <PostersandGuitar> ?
[23:12] <luminerd_> ok ActionParsnip But it didn't work totally, there were no title bars :( also it got rid of that extra option you had me put in
[23:12] <ActionParsnip> luminerd_: youve added that line in xorg.conf so they will stay
[23:13] <cars__> I finally got Ethernet to work with Samba using a single CAT5 cable (connected at 1000M), but it is going extremely slow (starts a file with a boost of ~100kbps and rapidly decreases and stalls) and is unable to finish anything but the smallest files.

[23:15] <PostersandGuitar> Is it safe to update GVFS?
[23:15] <danbh_intrepid> PostersandGuitar: when did it become unsafe to use?  (im running intrepid, and it crashes all the time.  So, I sure hope its safe...)
[23:15] <Jowi> cars__, you said 1000 M haha
[23:15] <ActionParsnip> PostersandGuitar: well if someone said FF, it could be a whole array of apps, mostly it means firfox but it could be someting else
[23:15] <nach> hi can someone explain me this line : "start on stopped rcS" in /etc/event.d/rc-default ?
[23:15] <PostersandGuitar> Oh.

[23:33] <danbh_intrepid> keres: erm, actually, I cant help you.  I just select the driver, and hit install, but I thought it was simple...
[23:33] <keres> not with 9800 drivers i guess lol.
[23:33] <danbh_intrepid> keres: are you sure its not working?
[23:33] <keres> yes

[23:34] <lacita> Hey all. I need to properly configure ALSA on my Lenovo y410 7757 laptop. I have no sound, and am running a restricted wireless driver (Intel PRO/wireless 3945). It has something to do with the intel chipset.
[23:34] <bonez46> is it possible to install and run adobe flash player... on ubuntu?
[23:34] <_Carrie_> well, since the help site is down, can anyone advise how I would test my dialup modem? Is there a terminal command or something I can use to test if it picks up/dials?
[23:34] <keres> danbh_intrepid: what is that
[23:34] <Bogus8> danbh_intrepid: I already have the java libraries installed and I just installed the required libraries for elinks to compile support "libmozjs-dev" but still says "not enabled"
[23:35] <lacita> bonez46: look into Wine http://winehq.org

[23:36] <danbh_intrepid> _Carrie_: no, when its released, you dont need the -d
[23:36] <keres> danbh_intrepid: the nvidia drivers are the problem, i think, not ubuntu
[23:37] <keres> danbh_intrepid: i presume this is a problem on all linux distros due to nvidia's lack of 9800 linux support
[23:37] <DEViUS> i have playback problems on my computer (i cant listen to music in rythmbox and in the same time hear the sound effects in my favourite games in firefox)
[23:38] <danbh_intrepid> keres: its because support for new hardware only comes out on new versions of ubuntu, so if the card came out after hardy came out, then its not supported

[23:54] <Enkazin> and I get ads after ads of pages wanting to sell it
[23:54] <Gr33n3gg> You might as well try it, run it as a LiveCD.
[23:54] <anders_> player, chmod -R
[23:54] <ActionParsnip> guybrush: just like you tab complete my name, try tab completing after you type the word iced
[23:54] <izmitLi> hey Turkis Speak ?
[23:54] <Jeruvy> tpg: try hitting f11 to get the address bar back
[23:54] <kitche> player: chmod -R but becareful since if you change the permissions to a certain directories it will mess your system up

[23:55] <CorbinFox> Actionparsnip: dont see it
[23:55] <guybrush> ActionParsnip:  there is no such file to get (download)

[23:55] <player> can I erase a read only file with sudo without changing permitions on that file, with remove?
[23:56] <tpg> Jeruvy: that doesnt work, it just removes the upper part of firefox(upper than the adress bar)
[23:56] <CorbinFox> ActionParsnip: its just the disk mounter applet that you can put on a desktop panel when you Right click it, go Add To Panel, and drag it on.  i dont know what program it is attached to, its just called the "Disk Mounter" version 2.22.2
[23:57] <DEViUS> d4nii: i use "alsa" not pulse audio?
[23:57] <Jeruvy> tpg: f10 is presentation mode(?) and removes the address bar, but f11 should restore it

[23:57] <player> how do I rm a directory?

[23:58] <ActionParsnip> player: be aware, its VERY agressive and should be used RARELY
[23:58] <ActionParsnip> player: be sure you need nothing in the folder and anything below
[23:58] <LordOllie> it can do nasty things when used with root permissions
[23:58] <daysleepr> i'm sure this is a basic question but i just can't find the answer anywhere...
[23:59] <daysleepr> you know how you can do alt+tab to switch between active applications
[23:59] <daysleepr> whats the combo to switch between desktops?
[23:59] <Derrike> I've been getting an error about three or four times in a row, and I'm taking it's not bad luck. I'm installing via liveCD and it always hangs at 15% of the install (Detecting file systems...)
[23:59] <ActionParsnip> CorbinFox: you'll need gksu as only root can mount
[23:59] <LordOllie> daysleepr, mine is ctrl+alt+left(or right), but I may have changed it at sometime
