[00:00] <luminerd> Ok so I downloaded a GTK2 theme, there's a bunch of images in it, still cannot open anything in there with the Gnome theme manager...
[00:00] <DEViUS> d4nii: i use "alsa" not pulse audio?
[00:00]  * luminerd is reminded why he loves OS X
[00:00] <daysleepr> oh, thats it, ctrl+alt+[left/right]
[00:00] <ActionParsnip> luminerd: osx is good because its made for the hardware in a mac
[00:00] <daysleepr> thank you very much!
[00:00] <luminerd> I mean how complex can it be.. I just want a theme that will open with the default in Gnome
[00:00] <WDC> ActionParsnip: WHY IS THIS SO HARD!
[00:00] <XeKtRuM> hello
[00:00] <Jeruvy> tpg: very strange, perhaps 'sudo apt-get remove' and 'sudo apt-get install' firefox.
[00:00] <jrib> luminerd: go to system -> preferences -> appearance and drag the tar.gz in there
[00:00] <ActionParsnip> luminerd: if you buy right, everything will work out of the box (like mine)
[00:00] <luminerd> ActionParsnip: I know they have a huge advantage because of that, but the fact is it "just works" :)
[00:00] <ActionParsnip> WDC: its not, its just different
[00:01] <luminerd> ActionParsnip: this isn't even a hardware issue
[00:01] <ActionParsnip> luminerd: all my stuff just works
[00:01] <WDC> ActionParsnip: I put deb http://website// and it didn't do it
[00:01] <luminerd> It won't work on any box, no matter what
[00:01] <XeKtRuM> I need to know if is there a way to configure my keyboard so when I press alt+n give me an ñ
[00:01] <player> how do I close a port when no app is running on that port?
[00:01] <ActionParsnip> WDC: http://www.irssi.org/download
[00:01] <luminerd> Oh thank you much jrib
[00:01] <ActionParsnip> player: you dont have it open then
[00:01] <sufs> After a CTRL-ALT-Backspace my screen goes black after the loading bar, what do I do?
[00:02] <davertron> hi, i'm having some interesting sound issues in hardy; the sound widget in the panel doesn't seem to actually work
[00:02] <luminerd> In this case it wasn't a matter of not working just my own not knowing how things work :P I was unzipping it first
[00:02] <davertron> i can slide the sound widget up and down in the panel but it doesn't change the output at all
[00:02] <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)
[00:02] <player> I can see it open on firestarter
[00:02] <_Carrie_> is it possible to test a 56k modem when you have no live phone lines in your house? lol
[00:02] <davertron> i don't really know what to set my sound preferences to
[00:02] <nach> how can i list all the active daemon on my box ?
[00:02] <ActionParsnip> player: then add a policy to block all connections on that port
[00:03] <davertron> can anyone help?
[00:03] <ActionParsnip> !sound | davertron
[00:03] <player> please give me an example for port 2225
[00:03] <ActionParsnip> player: use the gui, its all there plain and simple
[00:03] <tpg> jeruvy: ok i will try that now
[00:03] <WDC> ActionParsnip: This is madness, I sez 404
[00:03] <Fish-Face> hello, samba is flat out not working for me in Hardy
[00:04] <WDC> ActionParsnip: It sez 404. Could not find
[00:04] <ActionParsnip> !samba | Fish-Face
[00:04] <nach> how can i list all the active daemon on my box ?
[00:04] <player> how can I see wich app is using a certain port?
[00:04] <ActionParsnip> WDC: i'll pastebin it for you
[00:04] <WDC> player: nmap, from another computer
[00:04] <nach> player: use netstat
[00:04] <sufs> After a CTRL-ALT-Backspace my screen goes black after the loading bar, what do I do?
[00:04] <WDC> player: or what nach said
[00:04] <Derrike> so I take it all hope is dead
[00:04] <guybrush> ActionParsnip:  iced-tea-java7-bin eroor code number : 1
[00:05] <guybrush> ActionParsnip:  error 1

[00:05] <smax> Hi i can't install libasound2-dev Depends: libasound2 (=1.0.15-3ubuntu4) but 1.0.16-0ubuntu0.1 is to be installed
[00:05] <tpg> jeruvy: that fixed it, but i hope its not temporarily like last time i reinstalled..
[00:05] <witek23> hello, anybudy has an experience with installing Ubuntu on laptop with orginall instaled Vista? Is there any problems with conflict between recowery partition and grub?
[00:05] <CorbinFox> ActionParsnip: And what is gksu? would it allow me to mount drives from the desktop panel?
[00:05] <WDC> ActionParsnip: No i meant when I went apt-get update it said 404 on the package
[00:05] <ActionParsnip> bah
[00:05] <Fish-Face> ActionParsnip, um, that seems like it's not what I'm after. For a start, I should just be able to use the right click > sharing options menu to set up shares
[00:05] <_Carrie_> is it possible to test a 56k modem when you have no live phone lines in your house? lol I know there's a way of doing such a thing in windows (can't remember what it was called). Just curious if it's possible in ubuntu?
[00:06] <meal3837> anybody know somewhere where a second semester cs major might be able to contribute to the open source community?
[00:06] <Tu13es> how do I tell what version of ubuntu this system is from the terminal?
[00:06] <Fish-Face> ActionParsnip, furthermore, I can't browse the windows network from ubuntu (and have the relevant packages installed) and can't even see the ubuntu machine from windows
[00:06] <ActionParsnip> WDC: try deb http://rl6.de/debian unstable ./ as a source. remove the one that 404s
[00:06] <Fish-Face> I feel something must be going on earlier on in the process...
[00:06] <nach> player: you can use "netstate -l -n" to filter the results
[00:06] <nach> how can i list all the active daemon on my box ?
[00:06] <tpg> jeruvy: thanks alot btw ;)
[00:07] <ActionParsnip> Fish-Face: is there  firewall on the windows box?
[00:07] <kitche> Tu13es: lsb_release -a try that
[00:07] <ryan_____> Is there anything to keep in mind when buying a CD/DVD burner for my Ubuntu computer.
[00:07] <Hexus> Whats the best/most responsive image viewer for browsing compressed archives?
[00:07] <Tu13es> kitche: worked, thanks :)
[00:07] <Fish-Face> ActionParsnip, only Windows' own, and it can see the other shares in the house fine
[00:07] <davertron> ActionParsnip: Thanks for the pages
[00:07] <ActionParsnip> Fish-Face: configure it to allow browsing of network shares
[00:07] <Tu13es> trying to debate whether I should get AWN installed on this laptop (pretty old, running fluxubntu_
[00:07] <player> nach: can it be netstat -ln ?
[00:08] <casao> I'm bootcharting and recently an option called "Resume" showed up on my bootchart between udevadm and rc, what is it? I've never seen it before and it's slowing my boot a good bit
[00:08] <ActionParsnip> CorbinFox: to run gui apps as root with users settnigs you use gksu
[00:08] <davertron> ActionParsnip: what's interesting is if i open up alsamixer in a terminal, and then i switch the devices that the panel thing is using, i can see it's adjusting the volume on two of the outputs, but neither of them is the right one
[00:08] <_Carrie_> ActionParsnip, isn't that gksudo?
[00:08] <ActionParsnip> CorbinFox: if someone tells you to sudo gedit or similar they are idiots
[00:09] <Fish-Face> ActionParsnip, I can already browse network shares, and the option is turned on already - I just can't browse this machine's shares
[00:09] <ActionParsnip> _Carrie_: gksudo uses roots settings, not the users
[00:09] <_Carrie_> ActionParsnip, ah :) that's good to know lol
[00:09] <Freakin_Busy> quick question... does virtualX allow me to SSH with a GUI???
[00:09] <nach> player: yes !
[00:09] <sufs> anyone? I have no idea where to start..
[00:09] <witek23> Anybudy has an experience with installing Ubuntu on laptop with orginall instaled Vista? Does a recovery partition remove Grub?
[00:10] <joebob777as7> I just set up ubuntu on my work computer with xinerama and instead of treating each monitor with it's own boundaries it thinks I have one big monitor... so when I maximize a window it maximizes it over both monitors. anyone have an idea on why this is?
[00:10] <Fish-Face> sufs, ctrl-alt-backspace kills the X-Server...
[00:10] <player> I cant see the apps, just the ports and adresses
[00:10] <player> and only servers, by the way
[00:10] <ActionParsnip> witek23: it will if you recover the vista install
[00:10] <_Carrie_> is it possible to test a 56k modem when you have no live phone lines in your house? lol I know there's a way of doing such a thing in windows (can't remember what it was called). Just curious if it's possible in ubuntu?
[00:10] <kitche> joebob777as7: because it's how your xinerama is setup but think xinerama does that anyways
[00:10] <ActionParsnip> Freakin_Busy: how do you get a gui with ssh?
[00:10] <sufs> Fish-Face, I restarted the computer, but nothing happens? Can I somehow boot from a console and manually start the x-server?
[00:10] <WDC> ActionParsnip: Doesn't work either. Nevermind
[00:11] <ActionParsnip> Freakin_Busy: are you forwarding X server
[00:11] <Freakin_Busy> i'm asking if virtualX allows that?
[00:11] <ActionParsnip> WDC: you need a repo with irssi on it
[00:11] <witek23> ﻿ActionParsnip, I see, thanks for help
[00:11] <caio> cant turn to default ubuntu theme, the metacity theme stills ever :(
[00:11] <kitche> joebob777as7: yep looks like xinerama does that actually you need to use something else I believe for what you want besides xinerama
[00:11] <WDC> ActionParsnip: Compiling form source is a nightmare too. Why can't I use the synaptic?
[00:11] <Fish-Face> sufs, you can do what you want (you are already booted, btw) yes
[00:12] <Fish-Face> sufs, you should be presented with a login screen, but with text rather than graphics
[00:12] <TopBunny98> is there a way to compleetely remove and reinstall Rhythmbox
[00:12] <Magnu1> i can't boot when i try to attach more than one hd - what should i do?
[00:12] <kitche> !DualHead > joebob777as7 something like this you want?
[00:13] <Fish-Face> TopBunny98, sudo dpkg --purge rhythmbox
[00:13] <sufs> Fish-Face, I did edit the xorg.conf before I killed X, but I booted from a live CD, mounted the disk, and edited the xorg.conf back
[00:13] <ActionParsnip> WDC: you can as long as there is a repo with irssi
[00:13] <sufs> Fish-Face, but when i start from the HDD, no login screen pops up
[00:13] <Fish-Face> sufs, none at all?
[00:13] <sufs> Fish-Face, the display does not seem to get any signal
[00:13] <joebob777as7> !xinerama
[00:14] <Fish-Face> sufs, if you have a modern monitor it should tell you if that's the case...
[00:14] <ActionParsnip> Magnu1: does the bios pick up both?
[00:14] <_Carrie_> is it possible to test a 56k modem when you have no live phone lines in your house? lol I know there's a way of doing such a thing in windows (can't remember what it was called). Just curious if it's possible in ubuntu?
[00:14] <Fish-Face> sufs, can you tell whether your computer has actually booted ubuntu? What do you see, if anything, before the black screen?
[00:14] <sufs> Fish-Face, After the ubuntu progress bar is done it tells me something like /no signal found/
[00:14] <mha_> Hello!
[00:14] <Fish-Face> Oh right
[00:14] <mha_> My name is Moisés
[00:15] <sufs> Fish-Face, and the proceeds to go into sleep mode
[00:15] <mha_> I1m from Brazil...
[00:15] <Magnu1> ﻿ActionParsnip: nope. when all the hds are connected the bios doesn't recognize any of them
[00:15] <Fish-Face> sufs, do you press ctrl-alt-backspace at that point?
[00:15] <Bidget> hey guys Im wondering how to update my video drivers can anyone give me a hand? I have nvidia driver 169.12 and would like to update to the latest
[00:15] <ActionParsnip> Magnu1: ae they PATA or SATA?
[00:15] <ActionParsnip> Magnu: or SCSI
[00:15] <Magnu1> ﻿ActionParsnip: sata
[00:15] <mha_> I'm new here..and in Ubuntu
[00:16] <sufs> Fish-Face, you mean after teh screen goes into sleep - after reboot?
[00:16] <player> I have a persistent connection from inside out (on another computer wich is a server) to an address wich I didnt connect to explicitly, trhough a port wich I didnt open, and I cant determine wich app is using it. Everyday the address it connects to, changes. Sometimes, also the port, usually its 3 connections like these visibble on firestarter, and not visible from netstat. I would appreciate some sugestions . thankyou.
[00:16] <ActionParsnip> Magnu1: try changing the jumpers on the back to make them master and slave
[00:16] <anders_> welcome then mha_ :)
[00:16] <mha_> thank's
[00:16] <Fish-Face> sufs, yes. what's probably happening is that you made a mistake in the config file, and the X server is sending the screen something it doesn't like
[00:16] <Magnu1> ﻿ActionParsnip: i don't think my hds got jumpers
[00:16] <Fish-Face> sufs, or perhaps nothing at all
[00:16] <Magnu1> ﻿ActionParsnip: at least not all of them
[00:16] <ActionParsnip> Magnu1: well its offtopic in here as this i ubuntu help not hardware help
[00:16] <Fish-Face> sufs, if you kill the x server, you should get back to a text screen
[00:16] <DEViUS>  i was wondering, since Linux "ubuntu" is said to be better than windows (this should mean in everything), THEN? why do i get degraded performance while basically using my computer (browsing internet, reading pdf files?) why? someone help me
[00:17] <Fish-Face> sufs, or you could use the Live CD again to try and fix it
[00:17] <ActionParsnip> DEViUS: its never been said to be better than windows
[00:17] <Fish-Face> that would probably be easiest
[00:17] <player> (btw this is happening on dapper)
[00:17] <mha_> I'm have a problem with my desktop HP and may Ubuntu
[00:17] <Bidget> um Im pretty sure you dont need to set jumpers for sata drives just make sure your boot drive is connected to sata0
[00:17] <Magnu1> ﻿﻿ActionParsnip: i apologize and try to find some hardware help, thx anyway
[00:17] <ActionParsnip> DEViUS: thats an opinion of whoever wrote what you have read
[00:17] <Bidget> hey guys Im wondering how to update my video drivers can anyone give me a hand? I have nvidia driver 169.12 and would like to update to the latest
[00:17] <sufs> Fish-Face, is the a repair tool? I currently on the 7.10 live-CD but my install is Hardy
[00:17] <wng-> I'm running WoW under wine and it seems to be missing the textures for the ground? any ideas?
[00:18] <sufs> Fish-Face, is my other configs lost_
[00:18] <Fish-Face> sufs, no, probably just a little wrong :]
[00:18] <Bidget> wng-, try #winehq they would probably be able to help you a little better
[00:18] <DEViUS> ActionParsnip: nope, its been written throught books, reviews, forums  (everywhere) that performance of hardware is better in Linux
[00:18] <Fish-Face> and if it's lost, unless you were doing something weird with it, you can just reset it
[00:18] <Bidget> wng-, thats where I went for all my wine troubles :D
[00:18] <Fish-Face> DEViUS, do you have some links?
[00:19] <ActionParsnip> DEViUS: thats still opinion. If linux was better than windows then why are people using an "inferior" product
[00:19] <Fish-Face> sufs, are you using a different computer now?
[00:19] <ActionParsnip> DEViUS: no OS is better than any other, both have advantages and disadvantages
[00:19] <sufs> Fish-Face, well uhm, no
[00:19] <sufs> Fish-Face, I only have acess to one atm
[00:19] <ActionParsnip> ﻿DEViUS: you need to configuer your system better and make sure you are fully updated. You may want to install graphics drivers to make your desktop smoother
[00:19] <SunRayCafe> exit
[00:19] <Fish-Face> kk, are you in windows atm or linux?
[00:19] <SunRayCafe> gah, sorry...
[00:19] <DEViUS> ActionParsnip: im taking about h/w performance
[00:20] <Fish-Face> DEViUS, what do you mean by that
[00:20] <sufs> Fish-Face, can\t I edit the files from the live CD? In witch case, what files must I check?
[00:20] <ActionParsnip> DEViUS: its config and compatibility
[00:20] <DEViUS> ActionParsnip: do you think im missing something, if so plz help me locate appropriate drivers and libraries
[00:20] <Fish-Face> sufs, yes you can, but it will be difficult to know how to fix the file in question. You are looking at the same file you edited last time, though
[00:20] <Bidget> hey guys Im wondering how to update my video drivers can anyone give me a hand? I have nvidia driver 169.12 and would like to update to the latest
[00:20] <Fish-Face> my guess is you made a typo or something last time
[00:21] <ActionParsnip> DEViUS: well i have no idea what hardwrae you have, id run lspci and start getting sorted for drivers for a start
[00:21] <DEViUS> ActionParsnip: ok
[00:21] <ActionParsnip> DEViUS: id also run: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[00:21] <dr_willis> Bidget,  you may  to wait for the next release next month. it will have updated drivers.. Unless you just HAVE to have the latest now.. then.. well there used to be a wiki page covering that topic and the pitfalls of doing so,
[00:21] <ActionParsnip> DEViUS: that will give you the latest updated
[00:22] <Bidget> dr_willis, well Im not really sure if I need them but I am trying to get my component out working so I can use my tv with my computer as a second display but I just cant get it to work
[00:22] <ActionParsnip> DEViUS: and for the record, I find mandriva "better" than ubuntu, and definately better than windows, but thats my experience
[00:22] <Bidget> dr_willis, so I thought maybe updating the drivers might help
[00:22] <ActionParsnip> DEViUS: doesnt make it the gospel truth
[00:22] <DEViUS> ActionParsnip: true
[00:22] <DEViUS> ActionParsnip: i have done all these:     sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[00:22] <ActionParsnip> DEViUS: you need to leave the word "best" well alone in computing
[00:22] <dr_willis> Bidget,  ive had tv out working for ages.. but it may depend on your specific video card. I normally enable twinview, and use the nvida-settings tool to enable the tv out
[00:23] <jayde_drag0n> is anyone here knowledgeable with audacity? it won't record from my mic.. even tho it does work and i can hear myself thru my speakers
[00:23] <ActionParsnip> DEViUS: ok so is your system upgrading
[00:23] <Bidget> dr_willis, yeah I get an error when I do that talking something about metamode... let me pastebin it for you
[00:23] <Bidget> dr_willis, I have an nvidia 8800gt as well if that matters
[00:23] <DEViUS> ActionParsnip: it is fully upgraded
[00:23] <dr_willis> Bidget,  i got an 8800gtsxxx
[00:23] <Bidget> dr_willis, but yeah twinview is what I tried to enable
[00:23] <sufs> Fish-Face, is there some kid of Template for the xorg.conf I can use just to boot the system?
[00:23] <ActionParsnip> DEViUS: ok then find out what hardware needs installing and get it setup
[00:24] <chris_foster> hi, i installed lm sensors, and it always displays my cpu and case heat at 25C, I know something is wrong. Is that what lmsensors displays when it cant find those sensors?
[00:24] <ActionParsnip> DEViUS: you will learn a lot about your pc
[00:24] <Fish-Face> sufs, well, you have a couple of options
[00:24] <DEViUS> ActionParsnip: lspci results     http://pastebin.com/d58e97cff
[00:24] <dr_willis> Bidget,   You did install the nvidia-glx drivers? after that i normally run the nvidia-settings tool, or nvidia-xconfig (check its options) to enable twinview,
[00:24] <Deiselton> guys i need serious help... i decided to switch from fedora to ubuntu and ubuntu wont installl
[00:24] <Deiselton> it keeps timing out and now im stuck with just this live cd and no operating system
[00:24] <ActionParsnip> DEViUS: ok you have an Intel Corporation Mobile GM965
[00:24] <Fish-Face> sufs, you could just copy the LiveCD's file over. That'll probably (but not necessarily) work
[00:24] <qbmaniac> hey guys!
[00:25] <DEViUS> ActionParsnip: yes i do
[00:25] <LordOllie> Deiselton, did you format the install location to wipe it before install?
[00:25] <Deiselton> i keep getting this error
[00:25] <Deiselton> The installer encountered an error copying files to the hard disk:
[00:25] <Deiselton> [Errno 5] Input/output error
[00:25] <dr_willis> Bidget,  i have noticed that on some machines./cards I MUST have the tv plugged in befor i power up the machine. or else it dosent get detected.. on some machines. i ve even had the tv get detected.seen/used as the default monitors. so theres room for  'quirks' in the setup.
[00:25] <ActionParsnip> DEViUS: so jump onto your favourite search engine and find out how to set that up in ubuntu
[00:25] <qbmaniac> how is everyone today?
[00:25] <Fish-Face> sufs, or I believe these a config program you could run. However, I'm not sure whether it needs access to the kernel to work - if it does, then you wouldn't necessarily be able to make a config file appropriate for your real installation
[00:25] <georgy_28> fine
[00:25] <Deiselton> Lordollie: no i let the installation do that
[00:25] <DEViUS> ActionParsnip: Google
[00:25] <chris_foster> Deislton: that could mean lots of things, include a corrupted harddisk. How old is the harddisk?
[00:25] <dr_willis> google is our friend.
[00:25] <LordOllie> Deiselton, use the live cd to clean the disk and then try again
[00:25] <dr_willis> Other then video card, and wireless, i cant think of much else ive ever needed to 'tweak' under ubuntu
[00:26] <qbmaniac> Quick question guys: Where can I ask for help concerning virtualbox in ubuntu?
[00:26] <Bidget> dr_willis, http://pastebin.com/m1b5a17f5
[00:26] <thomassiskos> kanenas ellinas
[00:26] <chris_foster> qbmaniac: whats your question? Im experimenting with it and might be able to help
[00:26] <georgy_28> ! virtualbox
[00:26] <ActionParsnip> DEViUS: ok some dude has the same gfx card here, here is his xorg.conf
[00:26] <Bidget> dr_willis, my tv has been connected for some time as Ive been using it as a second display on windows xp (I dualboot) until I could get it figured out under ubuntu
[00:26] <ActionParsnip> DEViUS: http://launchpadlibrarian.net/9540046/xorg.conf
[00:26] <sufs> Fish-Face, ok i backed up the destroyed xorg.conf and got the one from the live cd. Down for reboot, thanks
[00:26] <levander> Isn't limewire available for Ubuntu?  'apt-cache search limewire' shows up nothing.
[00:26] <luminerd> This is completely unbelievable. i have downloaded like 20 themes and every single one of them is completely ugly.  Does no one with linux care about design?
[00:26] <Deiselton> so partition my drive to an ext3 system then try to install again?
[00:26] <Deiselton> or just set the drive to free space?
[00:27] <tranquility> luminerd: make one yourself
[00:27] <dr_willis> Bidget,  you may want to try that nvidia-settings tool and reduce the res of the tv perhaps. It may be it cant haldle  that high.
[00:27] <qbmaniac> georgy_28, I have read the documentation
[00:27] <qbmaniac> and everything
[00:27] <LordOllie> Deiselton, ext3 will most likely be faster
[00:27] <qbmaniac> I would just like a hand solving a problem I can't deal with
[00:27] <Bidget> dr_willis, umm arent tvs normally 640x480...?? thats what I have it set to under windows
[00:27] <ActionParsnip> DEViUS: so you need to sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-intel
[00:27] <luminerd> Ah, yes, I forgot. The linux community expects you to program and design your entire operating system by yourself
[00:27] <chris_foster> qbmaniac: what is your question?
[00:27] <qbmaniac> Well
[00:27] <qbmaniac> I want to share a folder
[00:27] <qbmaniac> I followed instructions chris_foster
[00:27] <DEViUS> ActionParsnip: ill do that
[00:27] <dr_willis> Bidget,  try setting clone mode. it looks almost like its trying a larger mode.
[00:28] <dr_willis> Mode 2624x1200,
[00:28] <qbmaniac> but it doesn't show up in the guest (windows xp)
[00:28] <tranquility> luminerd: no they don't
[00:28] <chris_foster> qbmaniac: did you get any errors? what is the guest OS?
[00:28] <qbmaniac> win xp
[00:28] <Bidget> dr_willis, I dont have a clone mode
[00:28] <qbmaniac> I can't see anything in "Entire Network" except for my own virtual box
[00:28] <ActionParsnip> DEViUS: then gksu gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf to look similar in the display section (dont change the name to say your graphics card name, its not important and will mean you have to chnage lines elsewhere)
[00:28] <DEViUS> ActionParsnip: it seems to be already installed
[00:28] <Bidget> dr_willis, all I have is twinview
[00:28] <ActionParsnip> DEViUS: thats fine
[00:28] <DEViUS> ActionParsnip: ok
[00:28] <Bidget> dr_willis, I have twinview or "seperate x screen (requires restart)"
[00:29] <luminerd> It'd be nice if there was a theme that didn't, say, forget to make an image for the freaking title bar so you have a giant ugly ass white bar across part of the top of your screen instead of a consistent image across it.
[00:29] <chris_foster> qbmaniac: sorry, Im not familiar with win xp, try google.
[00:29] <redstar66> how does one install a gnome theme?
[00:29] <Fish-Face> ActionParsnip, do you know what happened to the System > Administration > Shared Folders app?
[00:29] <Deiselton> lol i need more help.. the partition program on the live cd doesnt give me any options..... anyone know how to reformat a harddrive from the terminal
[00:29] <chris_foster> qbmaniac: or mabye someone else here is more expenieced with that area
[00:29] <chris_foster> qbmaniac: sorry I cant help
[00:29] <ActionParsnip> Fish-Face: no idea man
[00:29] <dr_willis> Bidget,  fireing up  my laptop now. to see  :) tv is too far from this box for me to test.
[00:30] <qbmaniac> chris_foster, no worries
[00:30] <qbmaniac> I checked on goog already
[00:30] <midnightRmbler> Deiselton: download the system rescue CD
[00:30] <Bidget> dr_willis, cool thanks man
[00:30] <qbmaniac> But I might just ask on the forums
[00:30] <redstar66> sheesh
[00:30] <ActionParsnip> Fish-Face: i always just edit /etc/samba/smb.conf
[00:30] <Bob123123> total noob needing help with ubuntu install
[00:30] <Tritonio> i have installed ubuntu on an external HD. Currently I can movbe to to other computers and everything works. If I install the NVIDIA drivers (proprietary) will my installation work on computers with different cards?
[00:30] <redstar66> How do you install a freakin theme for gnome?
[00:30] <ActionParsnip> Deiselton: mk2fs
[00:30] <Bidget> dr_willis, I have a crt monitor as well so maybe when you read crt-0 you were thinking it was the tv? I have my monitor at 1600x1200 and the tv at 640x480 maybe you were thinking one was the other or something
[00:30] <dr_willis> Bidget,  normally it takes me all of like 2 mn to get the tv out + nvidia stuff going. Biut i dont recall  trying it on this  nesw laptop yet.
[00:30] <ActionParsnip> !theme | redstar66
[00:31] <Fish-Face> ActionParsnip, hmm
[00:31] <Bidget> dr_willis, ok. do I maybe not have a clone mode because I have an older nvidia driver? Im still on 169.12 and I think theyre up to 173.something now
[00:31] <redstar66> Ive downloaded 5 themese and it always says "invalid theme"
[00:31] <dr_willis> Bidget,  it may be trying one wide mode with both combined. You want a wide desktop? or a cloned one? or a seperate X display on the tv?
[00:31] <XeKtRuM> anyone knows how to make a custom hotkey to write a special char?
[00:31] <dr_willis> Bidget,  ive been using clone mode for years with nvidia cards.
[00:31] <DEViUS> ActionParsnip: i dont find a display section in my xorg file neither the one you posted to me
[00:31] <ActionParsnip> redstar66: you just double click it and it installs usually
[00:31] <Bidget> dr_willis, well I want the tv to be a seperate display
[00:31] <ActionParsnip> DEViUS: can i see your xorg.conf please
[00:32] <Deiselton> mk2fs???
[00:32] <Deiselton> says its not a command
[00:32] <chris_foster> hi, i installed lm sensors, and it always displays my cpu and case heat at 25C, I know something is wrong. Is that what lmsensors displays when it cant find those sensors?
[00:32] <ActionParsnip> Deiselton: what file system do you want to format it?
[00:32] <redstar66> theyre all zip files
[00:32] <Bidget> dr_willis, yeah Ive been using my tv out for a long time but I just cant get it to work with ubuntu not sure why its giving me this error
[00:32] <Bob123123> I have a spare machine that I want to test Ubuntu on.  I d/l the installer and mounted it with daemon.  When I try to install, I get a error when it tries to d/l part of the install.  The image was like 700m.  What more does it need to d/l?
[00:32] <redstar66> is there a specific extension for a theme file?
[00:33] <ActionParsnip> redstar66: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-22040.html
[00:33] <juan> how to i change the keyboard for ttys?
[00:33] <luminerd> redstar66: I'm going through the same crap.  Apperantly the linux design community is horribly inconsistent and there are no standards :(
[00:33] <ActionParsnip> luminerd: linux is built on standards
[00:33] <Deiselton> Action: i guees ext3
[00:33] <luminerd> redstar66: but I've found most GTK2 themes, just drop the tar.gz file into the theme
[00:33] <Deiselton> or what ever ubuntu needs
[00:34] <luminerd> ActionParsnip: Sorry, but Linux is as un-standard as it gets.
[00:34] <dr_willis> Bidget,  all i did just to get it going on my laptop and its svideo out was run the nvidia-settings tool (as root) it saw the tv as a 2nd monitor. I enabled it with 'twinview' and hit apply, and now the tv is showing part of the desktop
[00:34] <jrib> redstar66: not really.  They are just tar.gz usually
[00:34] <jrib> juan: sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-data
[00:34] <luminerd> It has its strong points, standards are not among them
[00:34] <juan> *keyboard layout
[00:34] <Bidget> dr_willis, well yeah thats how it should work
[00:34] <redstar66> ok im gonna try one
[00:34] <Bidget> dr_willis, I do the same thing but when I hit apply I get the error
[00:34] <ActionParsnip> redstar66: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-428189.html
[00:35] <Bob123123> any help with Unbutu install?
[00:35] <Fish-Face> ActionParsnip, but what could be preventing windows from even locating this machine, when it can browse others fine?
[00:35] <ActionParsnip> luminerd: they use standard stuff and publish how they do everything, unlike microsoft who hide everything
[00:35] <dr_willis> Bidget,  my tv monitor is set to 1024x768 i notice
[00:35] <DEViUS> ActionParsnip: xorg details      http://pastebin.com/d3a0f987
[00:35] <ActionParsnip> Fish-Face: can it ping the system?
[00:35] <Bidget> dr_willis, it can tell that the tv is hooked up but when I go into the nvidia x server settings to enable it and click apply I get this error http://pastebin.com/m1b5a17f5
[00:35] <chris_foster> hi, i installed lm sensors, and it always displays my cpu and case heat at 25C, I know something is wrong. Is that what lmsensors displays when it cant find those sensors?
[00:35] <Bidget> dr_willis, yeah I dont think that should really matter I will try that though and see if it makes a difference
[00:35] <NewHandFromCN> hi . i want to install ubuntu using grub ,without a cd driver . i find a directory in my ubuntu iso  call "casper" . is it contains the vmlinuz and initrd files to boot up ?
[00:35] <Fish-Face> ActionParsnip, only by IP
[00:35] <Bidget> dr_willis, nah doesnt work same error
[00:36] <luminerd> ActionParsnip: I'm not disputing its openness.  But there are a billion different ways to theme things, and within those it's very very hard to find good submissions, most of the stuff out there for linux is total unrefined crap.  It all makes it very confusing and hard on the end user
[00:36] <Bidget> dr_willis, well a little bit different of an error I guess because Im setting the tv resolution differently
[00:36] <Tritonio> i have installed ubuntu on an external HD. Currently I can movbe to to other computers and everything works. If I install the NVIDIA drivers (proprietary) will my installation work on computers with different cards? (or: can ubuntu detect a change in the graphics adapter after installing nvidia closed source drivers?)
[00:36] <sufs> Fish-Face, Still there? Got it to work, kinda
[00:36] <Fish-Face> sufs, good good
[00:36] <redstar66> ok I think I got it now
[00:36] <redstar66> thanks :)
[00:36] <Fish-Face> ActionParsnip, if I try by hostname it's unfindable
[00:36] <ActionParsnip> DEViUS: add it under line 41 in pastebin
[00:37] <moor> hi all. is there a good howto (that really helps) with getting X to run with proprietary nvidia drivers? no matter what tool i use (envyng-gtk, nvidia-xconfig, dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg) i keep getting a not working xorg.conf. what is the correct way to do it?
[00:37] <moor> (btw: i am trying ubuntu with a live cd)
[00:37] <sufs> Fish-Face, the old xorg.conf is fully up and running, but some of my configs in other programs are not. How do i start the gnome panel from the console?
[00:37] <redstar66> Tritonio : You have to log in under the recovery mode and do dpkg-reconfigure x-org
[00:37] <Deiselton> ActionParsnip: i am trying to format it to ext3 or what ever ubuntu needs
[00:37] <DEViUS> ActionParsnip: what should i add under line 41
[00:37] <redstar66> (or something like that)
[00:37] <Fish-Face> sufs, you can't, not easily. I assume you mean, though, that you want to start all of GNOME?
[00:37] <Dr_Willi1> my xorg.conf with working tv out for my laptop --> http://pastebin.com/f285813d6
[00:37] <redstar66> it reconfigures teh x-server
[00:38] <Fish-Face> er oops
[00:38] <redstar66> you want to "reconfigure the x-server manually"
[00:38] <moor> redstar66, and doesn't work
[00:38] <dr_willis> Bidget,  that http://pastebin.com/f285813d6  is my laptops xorg.conf  for a example to try
[00:38] <Tritonio> redstar66: thank you very much. so actually i cannot install the drivers and use them "on demand". ok.
[00:38] <Stargazer> When will ubuntu 8.x intrepid ibex be released ?
[00:39] <redstar66> no you have to reconfigure x if you have a different card or even a monitor
[00:39] <Bidget> dr_willis, ok well I am still a bit of a beginner haha... should I just copy the part of your xorg thats for the tv and then paste it into mine maybe?
[00:39] <redstar66> *different monitor

[00:42] <Bidget> dr_willis, which part of the xorg is for configuring the tv??
[00:43] <thor> if im using 8.04 can i set Thunar as my default file manager instead of nautilus? If so are there any risk/complications that can come from doing it?
[00:43] <jrib> IntangibleLiquid: well first, you are going to want to install all the present updates and reboot.  But pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list
[00:43] <Fish-Face> sufs, no problem, glad I could help!
[00:43] <ActionParsnip> thor: you can use any file manager you want
[00:44] <thor> ActionParsnip: but can it be set as the default?
[00:44] <Bidget> dr_willis, I see that your monitor0 is set to twinview at 1280x800 but which one is the tv?

[00:47] <jrib> IntangibleLiquid: why?  It should work anyway
[00:47] <ActionParsnip> WDC: then your public ip is the wan ip of your router
[00:47] <IntangibleLiquid> jrib: how?
[00:47] <WDC> ActionParsnip: hmm
[00:47] <ActionParsnip> WDC: www.ipchicken.com
[00:47] <Deiselton> ﻿ActionParsnip: it keeps saying the device is in use by the system and wont let me format it
[00:48] <jrib> IntangibleLiquid: just install virtualbox-ose-modules-$(uname -r)
[00:48] <ActionParsnip> DEViUS: looks fine, save, reboot

[00:51] <Fat> O.K. Starting over...  I wish to rename a heop-o-files with the existing filename structure of {A}{Space}{Hyphen}{Space}{B}.{Ext}.  I would like to end up with {B} {Space}{Hyphen}{Space}{A}.{Ext}  I could possible remove the .{Ext} from the originals before renaming and then re-add after if this would make the procedure easier.  The content represented by {A} and {B} is alpha numeric pluse additi0onal characters invluding
[00:51] <Fat>  spaces.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[00:51] <player> ActionParsnip: why do I need one?
[00:51] <ActionParsnip> WDC: they are very similar, if it works then great
[00:51] <WDC> ActionParsnip: I wanted Deb because it has SO MUCH less than Ubuntu does, and I just want somehting simple
[00:51] <Adman65> what is the best wireless security mode?
[00:51] <ActionParsnip> player: just throwing in that you can get a gui if you dont wanna use cli
[00:51] <jrib> Fat: use rename, see 'man rename'.  Feel free to poke if you are stuck
[00:52] <player> ActionParsnip: but what is cli?
[00:52] <ActionParsnip> Adman65: wpa2 is strong but has a lot of overhead, wep is weaker but is lighter
[00:52] <ActionParsnip> !cli | player
[00:52] <WDC> player: Command Line interface
[00:52] <player> ahhh
[00:52] <luminerd> Is there an easy way to clone a computer?
[00:52] <player> thxs!

[00:52] <dr_willis> WDC,  there is the 'jeos' ubuntu variant. thats a very minimal ubuntu. :)
[00:52] <luminerd> I don't really understand the whole package thing

[00:52] <Bidget> can anyone tell me what this error means? http://pastebin.com/m1b5a17f5 I am getting it when I try to enable my tv as a second display
[00:52] <WDC> dr_willis: hmm
[00:52] <kitche> luminerd: yes several depends on what you want to use
[00:52]  * WDC checks jeOS out
[00:53] <dr_willis> WDC,  depends on your needs also.
[00:53] <kitche> luminerd: dd, partimage,
[00:53] <player> why would someone use a cli to get files? aren't they all on repositories?
[00:53] <WDC> player: I guess your a windows convert
[00:53] <ActionParsnip> luminerd: when you use apt-get / synaptic etc you install packages
[00:53] <dr_willis> player,  err.. why is the fact they are on repos.. related to getting files via cli?
[00:53] <Fat> Thanks, will have a look...
[00:53] <DEViUS> DEViUS "im done"
[00:54] <souldub> can anyone tell me why i cant see the visual effects?i have an ati 2600 chip
[00:54] <DEViUS> ActionParsnip: Im done
[00:54] <dr_willis> player,  the repos are normally just ftp/http servers   so you can easially grab files from them with normal ftp/tools
[00:54] <player> sorry, I was asking about wget not cli :D
[00:54] <ActionParsnip> luminerd: packages depend on other packages to run
[00:54] <Deiselton> Anyone know why i cant format a partition cause the computer thinks its mounted but when u run the umount command it says mtab says it isnt
[00:54] <Deiselton> ?
[00:54] <ActionParsnip> DEViUS: hows it looking?
[00:54] <_Carrie_> is it possible to test a 56k modem when you have no live phone lines in your house? lol I know there's a way of doing such a thing in windows (can't remember what it was called). Just curious if it's possible in ubuntu?
[00:54] <dr_willis> player,  i often use wget to grab a bunch of files at one time. :)  but it depends on what i am doing.
[00:54] <DEViUS> ActionParsnip: same as before
[00:54] <Bidget> can someone please look at this error for me I am trying to get my tv-out working!!!! http://pastebin.com/m1b5a17f5
[00:54] <luminerd> ActionParsnip: I understand that part of it but not as it pertains to a clone
[00:54] <player> wget is an ftp tool?
[00:55] <ActionParsnip> DEViUS: go to display settings now and you should be able to set your resolution
[00:55] <dr_willis> wget can grab files from ftp servers player . Yes..
[00:55] <WDC> ActionParsnip: Can you do me a favor? See if DynDNS did it's job please. http://ender2.ath.cx

[00:56] <venger> dr_willis, you could use minicom and set that it responds to AT commands
[00:56] <souldub> i have to install the drivers or what?
[00:56] <fiyawerx> Anyone know how long before a package like xchat gets updated in the repos? 2.8.6 was released in June
[00:56] <ActionParsnip> WDC: PING ender2.ath.cx (74.224.158.86) 56(84) bytes of data.
[00:56] <Bidget> souldub, your graphics drivers probably aren't installed properly or they arent installed... dont bother asking me though Im a beginner
[00:56] <fiyawerx> and adds a nice feature or two
[00:56] <WDC> ActionParsnip: Woot! thansk
[00:56] <ActionParsnip> WDC: you may wanna tell your router to not reply to ping
[00:56] <souldub> ok and what i have to do?
[00:56] <Bidget> souldub, I used a program called envyng to install my drivers I think it works for both nvidia and ati
[00:56] <DEViUS> ActionParsnip: if there is a non-oss from intel could it be better
[00:56] <henrikl> How do I get _only_ duration out of mediainfo?
[00:56] <WDC> ActionParsnip: Cheap Linksys, can it do that?
[00:56] <ActionParsnip> DEViUS: worth a try
[00:57] <souldub> ok i will check it bidget thanks
[00:57] <NateDawg9847> how do i install sound drivers?
[00:57] <ActionParsnip> WDC: have a look see
[00:57] <Bidget> souldub, np
[00:57] <Bidget> can someone please look at this error for me I am trying to get my tv-out working!!!! http://pastebin.com/m1b5a17f5
[00:57] <dr_willis> Bidget,  some times envyng works.. :) most of the time..  but i dident need it for my 8800gtsxxx
[00:57] <DEViUS> ActionParsnip: what about my chipset and proccessor, do they demand drivers
[00:57] <Bidget> dr_willis, well its the easiest way to do it as far as I know haha
[00:57] <kitche> henrikl: that question is a bit more then what this channel is really
[00:57] <dr_willis> Bidget,  did ya try my xorg.conf  yet?
[00:57] <_Carrie_> is it possible to test a 56k modem when you have no live phone lines in your house? I know there's a way of doing such a thing in windows (can't remember what it was called). Just curious if it's possible in ubuntu?
[00:57] <player> How do I close a port?
[00:57] <Bidget> dr_willis, which part of the xorg do I put into mine??
[00:57] <dr_willis> Bidget,  i just use the restricted-manager icon thats on the  top/right of the normal setup.
[00:57] <Bidget> dr_willis, I can see in it where your monitor is but which part of it is the tv?
[00:57] <henrikl> kitche: Yeah, I know – just thought that if anyone knew. :--)
[00:58] <dr_willis> Bidget,  i would backup your xorg.conf and copy mine to xorg.conf and restartX and see what happens
[00:58] <ActionParsnip> DEViUS: they are intel based so the kernel will jandle them
[00:58] <Bidget> dr_willis, yeah for me the restricted drivers manager didnt detect that I had a video card, not sure why
[00:58] <player> is there a cli way to close a port wich is already open and connected?
[00:58] <DEViUS> ActionParsnip: ok
[00:58] <Bidget> dr_willis, ok where is my xorg stored?
[00:58] <DEViUS> ActionParsnip: so what next?
[00:58] <dr_willis> Bidget,  some variants of the nvidia cards get seen/detected wrongly
[00:58] <ActionParsnip> DEViUS: try changing the display driver to i810 instead of intel
[00:58] <Bidget> dr_willis, yeah I had a huge issue with getting mine working under 7.10, then I got to 8.04 and the problems started all over again
[00:58] <Fat> Just checked "man rename" With that it appears I can strip the extension but I am still left with {A} {Space} {Hyphen} {Space} {B}.  This is the part where I need help, interchanging {A} and {B} while leaving the {Space} {Hyphen} {Space} intact..
[00:58] <DEViUS> ActionParsnip: how
[00:58] <blindraven> in /etc/X11/
[00:59] <dr_willis> Bidget,  xorg.conf is in /etc/X11
[00:59] <Bidget> dr_willis, gotcha
[00:59] <ActionParsnip> DEViUS: sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-driver-i810
[00:59] <jrib> Fat: rename -n 's/(.*) - (.*)\.(.*)/$2 - $1.$3/' *                 remove the -n if you are satisfied with what it says it will do
[00:59] <Bidget> dr_willis, so I just copy yours over mine and then rename mine to something in case it screws up?
[00:59] <Guest98977> i need help installin ubuntu
[00:59] <dr_willis> Bidget,  BACKUP yours first.. :)
[00:59] <jrib> Fat: I put extensions in there
[00:59] <Guest98977> can any1 help plezzz
[00:59] <ActionParsnip> DEViUS: then gksu gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[00:59] <Bidget> dr_willis, right right :D
[01:00] <Deiselton> is ubuntu nortoriously buggy on the install?... cuse this is getting bad it is goign slow as hell and it keeps crashing on me.... so im am stuck without an OS
[01:00] <_Carrie_> is it possible to test a 56k modem when you have no live phone lines in your house? I know there's a way of doing such a thing in windows (can't remember what it was called). Just curious if it's possible in ubuntu? it's like the 10th time I've asked in here.. should I go elsewhere for this?
[01:00] <DEViUS> ActionParsnip: seems to be installed
[01:00] <Deiselton> i am about ready to try solaris
[01:00] <ActionParsnip> DEViUS: thats fine, just making sure
[01:00] <DEViUS> ActionParsnip: ok, after .......
[01:00] <Rezagrats> I need a command to create a file so that when i upgrade i can easily reinstall all my programs. any ideas ?
[01:01] <WDC> What's tha apt uninstall command? I keep forgetting the basics!
[01:01] <Fishscene> Carrie, to be honest, I'm not aware of a test that can function without a way to connect.
[01:01] <dr_willis> Deiselton,  ive never had much issues with ubuntu and the isntall.. ive had issues with some cd/dvd/disks at times.. but Now a days i use that 'netbootin' tool to make bootab/install usb thumbdrives. :)
[01:01] <Fishscene> apt-get remove
[01:01] <jrib> !apt > WDC
[01:01] <kitche> _Carrie_: yes there is a way considering that you can't dial out since you don't have live wires you just try connecting really
[01:01] <ActionParsnip> _Carrie_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto
[01:01] <ActionParsnip> DEViUS: edit the display driver to i810
[01:01] <Bidget> dr_willis, what command do I use to restart X?
[01:01] <ActionParsnip> DEViUS: instead of intel
[01:01] <_Carrie_> ActionParsnip, that link which gets thrown on me every time I ask is of no help for what I'm asking.
[01:01] <dr_willis> Bidget,  you could hit alt-ctrl-backspace
[01:01] <jrib> Rezagrats: upgrading shouldn't remove your programs
[01:02] <ActionParsnip> _Carrie_: ok ill find an alternative
[01:02] <dr_willis> Bidget,  or logout to the gdm screen then restart the gdm service from the console/alt-ctrl-backspace
[01:02] <Bidget> dr_willis, alright cross your fingers haha
[01:02] <_Carrie_> kitche, there's a terminal program in windows that will allow you to test a modem with no line attached
[01:02] <dr_willis> Bidget,  or kill the gdm service and use 'startx' to see what errors X gives..
[01:02] <kitche> _Carrie_: yes all it does it tries to connect
[01:02] <DEViUS> ActionParsnip: plz be more specific "which section under what field" im still a learner sorry
[01:02] <dr_willis> _Carrie_,  i have to wonder what kind of test its really doing...
[01:03] <_Carrie_> kitche, ok, so go to like I'm going to connect and listen if the modem picks up and tries to get a dial-tone?
[01:03] <lacita_working> anyone feel like helping me find the correct wireless/sound driver to a Lenovo 3000 y410?
[01:04] <DEViUS> ActionParsnip: plz be more specific "which section under what field" im still a learner sorry
[01:04] <ActionParsnip> DEViUS: pastebin the xorg.conf please
[01:04] <Fat> Thanks, I'm going to write this down and go play in the sand for a while.  Will probably not be back tonight but will try to get on tomorrow and let you know if it worked out.  Thanks again.  Later
[01:04] <DEViUS> ActionParsnip: ok
[01:04] <jrib> !who | Fat
[01:04] <DEViUS> ActionParsnip: here it is       http://pastebin.com/d18f094e5
[01:04] <the_real_player1> preety please...how do you identify wich program is using a specific port using the cli?
[01:05] <Bidget> IT WORKS
[01:05] <Bidget> however
[01:05] <Bidget> dr_willis, small problem though
[01:05] <FloodBot1> Bidget: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[01:05] <kitche> the_real_player1: netstat is the program you use
[01:05] <dr_willis> :)
[01:05] <ActionParsnip> DEViUS: line 44
[01:05] <the_real_player1> kitche: with wich options?
[01:06] <Bidget> dr_willis, the tv works as a display but for some reason instead of the tv being a seperate display it makes the display stretch across both the tv and the monitor
[01:06] <ActionParsnip> DEViUS: that line defines the driver for the display, read it and lok at the context
[01:06] <cok_yasa_kamil> hi, when i press CRTL+ALT+F2 going to terminal, how can i back to window screen? (sorry bad eng)
[01:06] <DEViUS> ActionParsnip: i've changed it    i810
[01:06] <LjL> cok_yasa_kamil: ctrl+alt+f7
[01:06] <ActionParsnip> DEViUS: with quotes?
[01:06] <roukoun> cok_yasa_kamil: ctrl+alt+f7
[01:06] <Bidget> dr_willis, basically I want my tv to be able to be set to a different resolution but instead of having a tv at 640x480 and a monitor at 1600x1200 it gives me a big display thats like 2240x1200
[01:07] <DEViUS> ActionParsnip: yes
[01:07] <^paradox^> ok im still in need of some help trying to share a printer over a network. the other guy that was helping me had to leave, but i have the complete conversation > http://rafb.net/p/ynwmR762.html . if someone could pm me and take a little time to help me finish up id appreciate it :-)
[01:07] <ActionParsnip> DEViUS: ok save, exit, reboot
[01:07] <cok_yasa_kamil> thanks :) your help!
[01:07] <DEViUS> ActionParsnip: ok
[01:08] <kitche> the_real_player1: you could use lsof as well but I don't use lsof but lsof is the recommended program for what you want
[01:08] <Bidget> dr_willis, do I want to set it to a seperate x screen or something? is twinview not what I should be using or something?
[01:08] <ActionParsnip> _Carrie_: sudo wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf do anything special?
[01:08] <kitche> the_real_player1: since netstat is not what you want really
[01:09] <_Carrie_> ActionParsnip, thanks :) http://pastebin.com/m67a785a5
[01:10] <the_real_player1> kitche: the netstat -v is kind of nice :-)
[01:10] <kitche> the_real_player1: I don't use lsof so I can't give you the exact syntax
[01:10] <kitche> the_real_player1: here I don't have a -v option for netstat so I don't know about it
[01:10] <_Carrie_> ActionParsnip, anyway to determine what speed it's going to use when a connection occurs? I have the 'free' version of the drivers and they said it will only run @ 14kbps but I didn't get any messages about it limiting so I'm unsure.
[01:11] <the_real_player1> kitche: you dont have 'verbose'? why?
[01:11] <nosbig> What is the default timeout of the password cache in sudo?
[01:11] <LjL> nosbig: i believe 15 minutes
[01:11] <nosbig> Thanks...
[01:11] <mn> yes 15 min
[01:12] <ActionParsnip> DEViUS: any good?
[01:12] <kitche> the_real_player1: it's not in the BSD version
[01:12] <DEViUS> ActionParsnip: things got worse and worse then worse   i got startup errors, low graphics mode errors and crazy looking screens at startup
[01:12] <mn> Hello, can anyone here tell me how long a Yahoo answers account suspension lasts?
[01:12] <jrib> mn: that's not related to ubuntu at all
[01:12] <taseus> is xserver xgl different from gnome and ubuntu-server?
[01:13] <Bidget> dr_willis any idea why its doing that
[01:13] <ActionParsnip> then head into display settings and try to change the resolution
[01:13] <mn> jrib:  I accessing on a Ubuntu system ;)  No, I know that but idk where to ask
[01:13] <jrib> mn: well, not here.  Try #ubuntu-offtopic maybe
[01:13] <mn> oh ok thnx
[01:13] <behbek> anyone recognize what's going wrong here and how to fix it?   http://img444.imageshack.us/img444/6572/screenshothx9.png
[01:14] <behbek> it's an Intel graphics render order glitch, it's messing with a lot of OpenGL programs
[01:14] <Bidget> ok guys I finally got my tv-out to work but instead of my tv and monitor being 2 seperate displays with the tv at 640x480 and the monitor at 1600x1200, it made one giant display thats 2240x1200... anyone know how to fix this??
[01:15] <[Solars]> erm need to figure out how to fix my grub
[01:15] <behbek> !grub
[01:15] <smatz> hey, can anybody help me with a problem i'm having with apache http server on my ubuntu machine?? probably an easy fix, but i'm new to ubuntu, so i'd appreciate any help
[01:15] <^paradox^> in need of hand setting up sharing of a printer over a network. the guy who was helping me had to leave. our conversations here tho http://rafb.net/p/ynwmR762.html
[01:15] <[Solars]> it points vmlinuz to the wrong spot and doesn't list the windows
[01:15] <DEViUS> ActionParsnip: not with resolution but eyecandy and quality of reder
[01:15] <ActionParsnip> reder?
[01:16] <DEViUS> ActionParsnip: ya even win98 looked better lool
[01:16] <ActionParsnip> what is a reder?
[01:16] <DEViUS> ActionParsnip: sry render
[01:16] <Bidget> ActionParsnip, I think he meant render maybe?
[01:16] <ActionParsnip> DEViUS: looks ok to me, but i use fluxbox so i cant really say
[01:17] <DEViUS> ActionParsnip: ??
[01:17] <Bidget> I finally got my tv-out to work but instead of my tv and monitor being 2 seperate displays with the tv at 640x480 and the monitor at 1600x1200, it made one giant display thats 2240x1200... anyone know how to fix this??
[01:17] <DEViUS> ActionParsnip: everything got worse
[01:17] <DEViUS> ActionParsnip: i should admit it was better
[01:17] <LeeJunFan> I've got a 250GB hd, the bios apparently doesn't support ATA-6 and it sees only 137GB, I was under the impression that the bios wasn't used to access the drive after boot, so why am I having problems accessing this drive fully when booting from my old drive via usb? /dev/sda isn't readable currently although it's partitioned already.
[01:17] <ActionParsnip> DEViUS: http://s270.photobucket.com/albums/jj93/andrew_woodhead666/?action=view&current=MyScreenshot.png
[01:17] <dr_willis> Bidget,  thats sort of what you told it to do. :)   I drag the video player over to the tv and make it 'fullscreen' to take up just the tv.
[01:18] <Freakin_Busy> anyone know of a really good CAD app?
[01:18] <smatz> can anybody help me out with an apache problem?
[01:18] <ActionParsnip> !cad | Freakin_Busy
[01:18] <jrib> smatz: best to just ask the channel your question
[01:18] <Bidget> dr_willis, no but I told it to set my tv to 640x480 and my monitor to 1600x1200 not make a desktop thats 2240x1200 and then just cut off the part that the tv is too small to display....
[01:18] <dr_willis> Freakin_Busy,  depends a lot on your Cad Needs. I use Qcad for my minimal needs.
[01:18] <smatz> gotcha thanks :)
[01:18] <ActionParsnip> i gotta split kids
[01:18] <Freakin_Busy> for schematics?
[01:18] <ActionParsnip> work tomorrow
[01:18] <Freakin_Busy> blocks and groups?
[01:19] <ActionParsnip> DEViUS: keep websearching for how to get your vga working
[01:19] <ActionParsnip> peace
[01:19] <dr_willis> Bidget,  its 'joining the two together'  There will be a 'deadzone. below the tv display - thats an issue with  different size displays.
[01:19] <Ninesvnsicks> Hi i'm having a weird problem I'm running World of warcraft in cedega and it runs fine when I have compiz on but when i switch to metacity to save on graphics it doesn't run
[01:19] <the_real_player1> kitche: I just tried netstat -p and it gives the PID and also the program name, I hope tomorrow I can use it on my server to try to solve the problem by killing the PID's of the strange inside-->out connections... but last time I checked, they didnt appear on netstat, wich is strange
[01:19] <DEViUS> ActionParsnip: you ruined it and now you are setting me off?
[01:19] <Bidget> dr_willis, that seems like a pretty major flaw lol
[01:19] <DEViUS> ActionParsnip: you start something we finish it
[01:19] <dr_willis> Bidget,  if you dont want to be able to 'drag' windows and stuff over to the tv. You could make a seperate X session there.
[01:20] <Bidget> dr_willis, hm... what would that do?
[01:20] <the_real_player1> they only appeard on the firewall gui
[01:20] <dr_willis> Bidget,  thats how its always worked.. even under windows for me.   Come up with a 'fix or logical way to get around the core issue' :)
[01:20] <dr_willis> Bidget,  what do you want to do with the tv out? I just drag a media player to it.. and maxamize it to watch movies on the tv.
[01:20] <DrX> mount -t cifs //yourhost/yourshare /mnt/somewhere asks for a password, i didn't set a password when creating the share, what's the password?
[01:21] <Bidget> dr_willis, yeah thats what I do under windows and it has no problem I just select dualview and you can have 2 displays with different refresh rates and resolutions there is no dead space at all
[01:21] <the_real_player1> what is cifs?
[01:21] <Bidget> dr_willis, if I fullscreen a video now it will take up my monitor as well as the tv but like 3/4 of the picture is cut off on the tv because of the big dead spot under it....
[01:22] <smatz> well i'm very new to ubuntu, and i tried installing apache today.  the installation went smoothly (with $ sudo apt-get install apache2), but when i go in to edit the stuff in my webroot (/var/www), it tells me i don't have permissions :\ and even when i try to go to http://localhost, it returns a 403 error :\ :\
[01:22] <dr_willis> Bidget,  i have dead space under windows..  it may be you just dont notice it.  Let me check the player on the laptop.. if twinview is enabled correctly it should jsut max to the tv and thats it.
[01:22] <behbek> anyone recognize what's going wrong here and how to fix it?   http://img444.imageshack.us/img444/6572/screenshothx9.png
[01:22] <DrX> i'm trying to create a share in Nautilus and it says "'net usershare returned error 255" usershares are currently disabled
[01:22] <Bidget> dr_willis, I definitely do not... I would notice it lol
[01:23] <roukoun>  smatz: you dont have the permissions to edit anything under / except your home folder
[01:24] <the_real_player1> lol behbek
[01:24] <smatz> so if i go into the config file, can i just change where apache is serving things from?
[01:24] <roukoun> smatz: if you want to get privilleges to edit you have to launch nautilus as the superuser(root) so give the command sudo nautilus and try again....
[01:24] <dr_willis> Bidget,  i would say you are not noticeing it because of how windows is handling the virtual screens the deadzone does exist..  but on the linxu thing.. I DO recall that after using nvidia-settings, that  just clicking 'apply' makes the changes.. but  Not all apps work properly. Untill you restart X.
[01:25] <Bidget> dr_willis, its not that Im not noticing it, its just that its not there, load up windows and select dualview and oyu will see exactly what Im talking about, windows has 2 different options, there is horizontal span (which does what ubuntu is doing right now) and there is dualview which sets up 2 displays seperately
[01:25] <Fat> jrib:  Back already...  I typed in    rename 'jb/Desktop/123./(.*) - (.*) \.(.*)/$2 - $1.$3/' *   and following resulted   Backslash found where operator expected at (eval 1) line 1, near "*) \"   (Missing operator before  \?)   syntax error at (eval 1) line 1, near "(."   Any thoughts?
[01:25] <behbek> seriously though, it's an intel graphics rendering problem, I can't figure out what's causing it
[01:25] <jrib> Fat: why is there a path in the quotes?
[01:26] <behbek> it gets the ordering wrong on openGL windows
[01:26] <renny> irc://irc.rizon.net:6667/animeFreakz
[01:26] <regeya> oh hehehe you have forward slashes that aren't escaped!
[01:26] <roukoun> smatz: you can do it from the terminal as well using your favorite text editor (e.g vi, vim, nano, gedit, etc).... if you prefer it just give the command 'sudo nano /the/path/of/the/file' ctrl+s to save and ctrl+x to exit
[01:27] <jrib> Fat: you need to just 'cd' to where the files are and keep the stuff inside the quotes how it was (with the s/blah/bleh/.  The 's' needs to be there)
[01:27] <Fat> jrib: Well, being a true noob, I figured it would have to know where the file were that it hand to act on!  (Alright, keep the snickering down!)
[01:27] <Scunizi> Looking for Voodoo, guidance, a guru of video setup. I installed Ubuntu on a friends machine and wammo! 800x600 that I can't change even with the FixVidRes guide. Here's a better explaination and a copy of my xorg for review and comment. http://paste.ubuntu.com/50672/  Any assistance would be appriciated.
[01:27] <dr_willis> Bidget,  i restarted my x server, after runing the nvidia-settings tool. and now gmplayer is fullscreening properly to  the tv for me.
[01:27] <regeya> being a regexp idiot, I recognized nothing wrong with that blah
[01:27] <jrib> Fat: and use '-n' so that it won't actually do anything but just tell you what it would do
[01:27] <Bidget> dr_willis, ok I'll try doing that... one sec
[01:28] <dr_willis> Bidget,  dont forget to 'save the settings' :) after you run the nvidia-settings tool. I frogot and had to rerun it.
[01:28] <dr_willis> Bidget,  the nvidia 'docs/readmes
[01:29] <Fat> jrib:  OK, here goes.....(Me thinks me follows what your up to!)
[01:29] <Bidget> dr_willis, ehh I hit save to configuration and it gives me an error saying it cant replace my xorg.conf
[01:29] <dr_willis> on the nvidia web site have more tweaks/settings/things you can do :) if you want to really have fine controll over it.
[01:29] <dr_willis> Bidget,  you ahve to run the tool as root with sudo
[01:29] <Bidget> dr_willis, whats the command to run the nvidia x server settings?
[01:30] <Bidget> dr_willis, or am I totally on the wrong page here haha
[01:30] <dr_willis> nvidia-settings :) rember the command WITH the X in it is not a X gui... the one without the X is a x gui....
[01:30] <dr_willis> theres 'nvidia-settings' and nvidia-xconfig'
[01:30] <rickyOK> a question about the terminal command "wget". the default is to download the file to your home directory. how can i change the default, or tell it each time where the download is to go.
[01:30] <Scunizi> rickyOK: man wget
[01:31] <rickyOK> i have reviewed the man and cannot find anything.....anyone know how?
[01:31] <Bidget> ok I think its saved now
[01:31] <dr_willis> wget has a bazliiiiiion command line options. :)
[01:31] <mbarak> hi, i need help using gvfs-mount for a bug
[01:31] <jrib> dr_willis: yeah, they had to invent the bazliiiiiiiion unit after the man page was finished :)
[01:31] <Scunizi> rickyOK: here's the manual http://www.gnu.org/software/wget/manual/wget.html
[01:32] <behbek> Intel graphics rendering problem, any takers?  looks like this: http://img444.imageshack.us/img444/6572/screenshothx9.png
[01:32] <jrib> regeya: anyone know how what?
[01:32] <rickyOK> i have looked at "man wget" and used the -o command, but it make a log file: i just want the download to go to the folder i choose....any ideas?
[01:32] <kitche> rickyOK: did you try -C
[01:32] <mbarak> i need to mount /dev/sda1 onto a folder but i don't know how to do that with this program (gvs-mount) there is no man page. can someone help?
[01:32] <Scunizi> rickyOK: check the link I gave you .. there's an index.
[01:32] <regeya> jrib: who did what to where?
[01:32] <Bidget> dr_willis, nah didnt change anything
[01:33] <jrib> regeya: -ENOCONTEXT for your question
[01:33] <smatz> okay, thanks for the help roukoun; that worked :) ...but i don't understand why i get a 403 error when i try to view them at http://localhost or from another computer?
[01:33] <dr_willis> Bidget,   You did totally restart X? did a alt-ctrl-backspace at the gdm screen?
[01:33] <jrib> rickyOK: checked out -P?
[01:33] <Scunizi> Anyone have a ProSavage video card working correctly?  I need assistance.
[01:33] <regeya> jrib: I had a question?
[01:33] <Bidget> dr_willis, youuuu betcha haha
[01:33] <dr_willis> Bidget,  or 'sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart'  :)
[01:33] <jrib> rickyOK: ignore me :)
[01:33] <TJ-42> I have a .htaccess file with "deny from all" in it, but it seems to be ignored by my server -- Apache/2.2.8 (Ubuntu)  what would cause it to be ignored?
[01:33] <regeya> jrib?
[01:34] <jrib> hrmm, now this is going to be confusing.  regeya: YOU ignore me.  rickyOK: don't ignore me :)
[01:34] <Bidget> dr_willis, but when I restarted x it went back to 1280x800 instead of 1600x1200 so its like it reset to the original xorg that you pastebinned
[01:34] <dr_willis> Bidget,   i got it going here just fine.. odd..   I noticed that if i unplug the tv and restart X it even goes back to the normal single monitor desktop.
[01:34] <regeya> ROFL @ autocomplete
[01:34] <rickyOK> the info at that link is basically the same thing you get when you look at the man pages......i have a hard time understanding them.
[01:34] <dr_willis> Bidget,  perhaps you dident save it properly?
[01:34]  * jrib considers typing more than one letter before hitting tab
[01:34] <rickyOK> there are two output options, and i have tried both of them, to no avail.......
[01:34] <Bidget> dr_willis, well I typed the command and it said that it saved the configuration and backed up the old one
[01:34] <mbarak> hi, i need help using gvfs-mount for a bug
[01:34] <mbarak> i need to mount /dev/sda1 onto a folder but i don't know how to do that with this program (gvs-mount) there is no man page. can someone help?
[01:34] <kitche> rickyOK: you want the -C switch
[01:34] <Bidget> dr_willis, so... I dont get it lol
[01:34] <jrib> rickyOK: I just gave you the switch.  See if -P is what you want
[01:35] <kitche> rickyOK: wget <file to get> -C <directory you want to use for the placement>
[01:35] <dr_willis> Bidget,    this is when it pays to learn to manually exit/read/tweak the xorg.conf I guess so you can tell whats going on.
[01:35] <jrib> kitche: that's for tar, no?
[01:35] <Bidget> dr_willis, hm
[01:35] <rickyOK> wget -P URL: i will try it....
[01:35] <Fat> jrib:  Once again getting skewered by the finger of fate!  When I try   cd jb/Desktop/123   I get   bash: cd: jb/Desktop/123: No such file or directory  Now, that'a a lie 'cause I see it! Not only that I made it!  Again, any thoughts?
[01:35]  * regeya has been more or less lost since the XFree->xorg switch :-}
[01:35] <kitche> jrib: think it's for wget as well been a while since I actually used wget though
[01:35] <Bidget> dr_willis, so is there no way to get it set up like the way I have it in windows then?
[01:35] <Scunizi> Fat if you'
[01:36] <jrib> Fat: just do: cd ~/Desktop/123
[01:36] <rickyOK> i will try some of this.....thanks
[01:36] <roukoun> smatz: you maybe have the apache service installed in a place that your browser cant detect... read this to get helped(http://www.devolio.com/blog/archives/221-How-to-install-Apache,-MySQL-and-PHP-LAMP-in-Ubuntu-7.10.html)
[01:36] <Scunizi> Fat if you're going to do it like that then "cd /home/jb/Desktop/123"
[01:36] <rickyOK> brb
[01:36] <Scunizi> Fat or "cd ~/Desktop/123
[01:36] <pj> Hi
[01:36] <the_real_player1> kitche: I think I know why netstat wont show some of the firestarter connections I saw: because I was using netstat without sudo
[01:36] <dr_willis> Bidget,  its working fine for me here.. I havent used it under windows in ages.. plus im using Vista now.. so it may differ.
[01:36] <kitche> the_real_player1: well that would help :)
[01:36] <dr_willis> Bidget,  this is on my laptop however. :) it has a different video card then the 8800.
[01:36] <Bidget> dr_willis, well its the same nvidia driver though
[01:36] <Superman> is ubuntu desktop = gnome desktop or what? im kinda confused about the desktop thing
[01:36] <regeya> back when you had to do nearly everything manually, I could deal with XFree.  Now that much of the process is automagical, however...:-P
[01:37] <jrib> kitche: well it would be great if switches were consistent.  At least across gnu programs.  But I may ask for too much
[01:37] <Fat> jrib: Scunizi   Thanks, here we go again, stay tuned....
[01:37] <dr_willis> Bidget,  if tv is plugged in. I get 2 displays, wide screen.  if its not i get a single monitor.
[01:37] <Bidget> dr_willis, you should still have all of the display options like horizontal span vertical span clone or dualview
[01:37] <sileni> hey guys
[01:37] <dr_willis> Bidget,  ive noticed that different cards/chipsets can Vary Greately in little  quirks.
[01:37] <sileni> im trying to get flash to work and i get this ERROR: Your architecture, \'x86_64\', is not supported by the
[01:37] <sileni>        Adobe Flash Player installer.
[01:37] <Bidget> dr_willis, yeah I just cant stand that it makes it one big screen spanning over 2 displays I want 2 seperate screens =\
[01:37] <dr_willis> Bidget,  i dont hav to change anything right now.
[01:37] <sileni> so i should just reinstall 32 bit version to get it to work?
[01:37] <jrib> sileni: how are you trying to install it?
[01:37] <sileni> i went to the website
[01:37] <dr_willis> Bidget,  then you want to explore the  seperate X session Option. I never use that feature so cant help there.
[01:38] <souldub> any help for ati card,i cant see the visual effects
[01:38] <Scunizi> Bidget: xinerama should fix that but don't ask me how to configure xorg for it.
[01:38] <sileni> downloaded the tar file extracted and ./flashplayerinstaller
[01:38] <jrib> sileni: nah, just install the 'flashplugin-nonfree' package
[01:38] <Bidget> dr_willis, I will give it a shot and see how it works... but just curious what exactly does it mean when it says seperate x session?
[01:38] <sileni> sudo apt-get that woudl work ?
[01:38] <Bidget> Scunizi, oh there is a way around it then??? WOOO!!!
[01:38] <ryan_____> How do you install XP via virtualbox from an ISO?
[01:38] <Fat> jrib:  Scunizi:  BINGO - we got the directory, now, onward...
[01:38] <Bidget> Scunizi, awesome haha
[01:38] <lordvladimir> anybody seen user zirrush in here lately?
[01:38] <dr_willis> Bidget,  for my video player i just drag it over, and fullsfreen it . and it takes up just the tv  's monitor. it dosent  go halfway,  some DUMB apps will still pop up in the middle of both displays.
[01:38] <jrib> sileni: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree, yeah.  Or if you want something even easier, just visit http://badgerbadgerbadger.com in firefox and click on the yellow bar
[01:38] <dr_willis> Bidget,  it runs 2 X servers/sessions  you could have 2 desktops , one on each monitor
[01:39] <Bidget> dr_willis, yeah for me it cuts off the bar along the top, my icons are half disappeared cause they span over to the deadzone under the tv's display.. its a mess haha
[01:39] <Bidget> dr_willis, hmm
[01:39] <curtis> anyone have a white ipod 20 gigs? and can you get it to work with ubuntu 8.04?
[01:39] <dr_willis> Bidget,  It did that Untill i restarted the X server with the proper X config.
[01:39] <Bidget> dr_willis, that actually sounds great... what would I have tod o to switch between them though..?
[01:39] <sileni> jrib: 113 mb of space needed to make flash work?
[01:39] <sileni> does that sound right?
[01:39] <Bidget> dr_willis, well I will do some tweaking and see if I can get it to work
[01:39] <behbek> Intel graphics rendering problem, any takers?  looks like this: http://img444.imageshack.us/img444/6572/screenshothx9.png
[01:39] <the_alamo> a weird issue just started for me... i run compiz with a gtk theme but for some reason the window border has stopped loading at start-up.  i can load it after by changing to emerald then changing back
[01:40] <Bidget> dr_willis, but anyway I have to go, I will probably be back though haha
[01:40] <jrib> sileni: no idea.  It needs to install nspluginwrapper and stuff it depends on
[01:40] <Bidget> dr_willis, thanks for the help man
[01:40] <dr_willis> Bidget,  i would go to xorg.conf and make a xorg backup dir.. move all the xorg.confs there.. and rerun the config tool.. save it again.. and  copy the saved one to xorg.conf.twinview  and restart X. if it does auto change to the old config.. well  compare the new with the old.
[01:40] <the_real_player1> what is the logic behind grep?
[01:40] <sileni> jrib: ok thank you for the quick answer man appreciate it
[01:40] <dr_willis> the_real_player1,  Huh?
[01:40] <jrib> the_real_player1: when you need to find something, you use grep.  Can you be a little more specific about what you mean?
[01:41] <linxuz3r> sup man
[01:41] <jrib> sileni: no problem
[01:41] <linxuz3r> hey jrib
[01:41] <jrib> hi
[01:41] <MrDudle> how do i completely whipe my computer of any os?
[01:41] <linxuz3r> what does my on join ip say
[01:41] <linxuz3r> please tell
[01:42] <MrDudle> n=linxuz3r@146.244.137.119
[01:42] <the_real_player1> i what to find which port on services files corresponds to my currently open ports using grep
[01:42] <linxuz3r> thanks
[01:42] <rickyOK> i tried that -C command and got an error message....sorry....but the -P command is now downloading and i will wait til the download completes to see if it is in the directory i wanted.....
[01:42] <dr_willis> MrDudle,  use the fdisk tools and delee all partitions is one way
[01:42] <jrib> MrDudle: load a live cd and delete all the partitions
[01:42] <MrDudle> dr_willis,
[01:42] <dr_willis> MrDudle,  just saying somes name.. dosent really do much good. :)
[01:43] <pramz> has anyone experienced issues with gdmsetup lately ?
[01:43] <MrDudle> dr_willis, i know i was going to say something more but my dad distracted me :(
[01:43] <MrDudle> anywho...how if i use the fdisk i can delete everything so i basically have an empty computer?
[01:43] <curtis> anyone know how to fix the white ipod when it tells you to go to apples website?
[01:44] <J-_> anyone know of a password generator?
[01:44] <the_real_player1> how do I use grep? lets say, I want to print on the screen the line wich contains 2228 in a certain file
[01:44] <Fat> jrib:  Scunizi:  Here's what went in,   jb@jb-desktop:~/Desktop/123$ rename -n 's./(.*) - (.*)\.(.*)/$2 - $1.$3/' *   And here's what came out   Unmatched ( in regex; marked by <-- HERE in m//( <-- HERE / at (eval 1) line 1.  I get the feeling we're getting closer....but there again....
[01:44] <dr_willis> MrDudle,  learn to use one of the many disk partitioning tools.. and delete every partition.. = totally empty hard drives = no OS.
[01:44] <MrDudle> dr_willis, i can't find fdisk
[01:45] <jrib> the_real_player1: grep -o 2228 'a certain file'
[01:45] <dr_willis> MrDudle,  find it where? its a command line tool
[01:45] <MrDudle> ooooh
[01:45] <rickyOK> hey, that -P command is working; it says that it is downloading correctly.....hey, THANKS! alot.
[01:45] <jrib> Fat: no . after the s
[01:45] <dr_willis> MrDudle,   Like i said. :) 'learn to use one of the many disk partitioning tools'
[01:45] <curtis> can anyone help?
[01:45] <dr_willis> MrDudle,  you may like 'gparted' better
[01:45] <Fat> jrib:  OK, back shortly
[01:46] <rickyOK> i am using the new alpha 6 version on my laptop.....just wondering? will it automatically update to the released verstion, when i do updates?????
[01:46] <jrib> rickyOK: ask in #ubuntu+1
[01:46] <the_real_player1> jrib it does not print anything on the screen...
[01:47] <jrib> the_real_player1: pastebin your command and the full output, and the file you are grepping
[01:47] <MrDudle> so dr_willis what do i do to delete the partitions? i don't see a command line to delete them
[01:47] <sileni> jrib: hey i just installed ubuntu 64 bit and firefox is being slow like it opens fast but if i type something in the google searchbar and enter it takes few secs before it responds
[01:47] <MrDudle> nvm dr_willis i'm installing gparted
[01:47] <sileni> jrib: is this common or am i the only one expereincing this
[01:47] <jrib> sileni: don't know
[01:48] <sileni> jrib: ok
[01:48] <jrib> sileni: I don't experience that on amd64 (core 2 duo)
[01:48] <sileni> jrib: hmm i have quad intel :(
[01:48] <LinuxMercedes> Ok, so I actually came on here to get some work done =]...I'm having trouble connecting to an SMB share (on my linux machine) from my Mac
[01:48] <sileni> maybe firefox doesnt like that
[01:48] <sileni> what is another standard browser people use in linux
[01:49] <LinuxMercedes> Konqueror
[01:49] <jrib> sileni: epiphany-browser or konq as LinuxMercedes suggested
[01:50] <the_real_player1> jrib what is pastebin?
[01:50] <jrib> !pastebin | the_real_player1
[01:51] <Fat> jrib: It Happened!!!!  Many thanks,  file names revised perfectly.  Greatly appreciate your help.  Now one last question.  I was working with a sample 10 if the many I have to do.  In future I will remove the "-n" n'est pas?
[01:52] <jrib> Fat: -n means the command doesn't actually rename anything.  It just outputs what it would do
[01:52] <rickyOK> thanks jrib, i will try that.
[01:53] <l337ingDisorder> is there a way to kill a process by name?
[01:53] <the_real_player1> jrib: amazing idea, the pastebin!
[01:53] <balrog_> anybody know why this is segfaulting?  http://paste.ubuntu.com/50680/
[01:53] <l337ingDisorder> (instead of by PID)
[01:53] <jrib> l337ingDisorder: pkill
[01:54] <luminerd> l337ingDisorder: You could use xkill and click it if you're in gui
[01:54] <l337ingDisorder> awesome, thanks!
[01:54] <l337ingDisorder> pkill is exactly what I need
[01:54] <l337ingDisorder> hmm
[01:54] <l337ingDisorder> or is it..
[01:54] <the_real_player1> is there a !index to see all explained commands?
[01:56] <balrog_> the_real_player1: there is apropos
[01:56] <balrog_> the_real_player1: it lets you search for appropriate commands
[01:56] <jrib> ubottu: tell the_real_player1 about yourself
[01:56] <jrib> the_real_player1: what kind of commands did you mean?
[01:57] <Fat> jrib:  Ah yes, on checking the test directory I see what you mean.  I'll remove the "-n" and give it another run although methinks there'll be no problems now.
[01:59] <the_real_player1> jrib: thank you, the factoids seems preety amazing :-)
[01:59] <[Solars]> how does ubuntu see sata drives? /dev/sd0 ?
[01:59] <[Solars]> as the first sata drive
[01:59] <[Solars]> or is it /dev/hd1
[02:00] <phuzion> Quick quesion, how can I display the chmod of a folder in numerical format?
[02:00] <jrib> [Solars]: /dev/sda
[02:00] <phuzion> through bash
[02:00] <jrib> phuzion: stat -somethingyouwillhavetolookup
[02:00] <Lemming2> Is there any non-ugly way to disable recent documents? 8.04?
[02:01] <bobertdos> phuzion: If there is a way to do that, it's probably in the man page for ls.
[02:01] <[Solars]> jrib thanks
[02:01] <phuzion> sudo stat directory does it find, thanks jrib
[02:01] <jrib> phuzion: eww, why sudo?
[02:01] <the_real_player1> does pastebin has an index too?
[02:02] <jrib> phuzion: stat -c %a FILE   gives you just the permissions by the way
[02:02] <jrib> the_real_player1: some like pastebin.com do
[02:02] <phuzion> Thanks jrib
[02:05] <Fat> jrb:  Many thanks, all works well, till next time cheers!
[02:06] <mib_chwfyz> what can I do if $ sudo dpkg --configure -a doesn't help!???!  This was a fresh install of ubuntu-server that got interrupted on a sudo apt-get ubuntu-desktop...

[02:09] <nicodarious> hmm.. is this a 'support' channel?  or should i go elsewhere to find others that would like to discuss options and possible solutions?
[02:09] <nalioth> Kingsy101: sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
[02:09] <nalioth> ubottu: tell Kingsy101 about lamp
[02:10] <dr_willis> !patience
[02:10] <mib_chwfyz> what can I do to fix broken dependencies, dpkg was interupted
[02:10] <mib_chwfyz> $ dpkg --configure -a did not fix
[02:10] <Kingsy101> init.d doesnt exist
[02:10] <mib_chwfyz> sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop was interupted
[02:11] <mib_chwfyz> do I have to reinstall from disk?
[02:11] <nicodarious> dr_willis: i have plenty of patience, but it's running thin after being !botted out of the room saying to go look other places for information, know what i mean?
[02:11] <dr_willis> mib_chwfyz,  proberly not..but im not sure of thebest way to recover from that sort of disaster
[02:12] <dr_willis> nicodarious,  i dident even see you ask a question.. but i pop in and out all day long.
[02:12] <mib_chwfyz> somebody shoot me
[02:12] <dr_willis> plus im helping people in other channels..
[02:12] <nicodarious> dr_willis: i was just asking if this was a support channel or would i !botted to somewhere else if i even brought up the word 'support'.
[02:12] <R0b0t1> For some reason when I lift up my laser mouse, the cursor goes down...
[02:12] <_Carrie_> nicodarious, welcome to the "Human" aspect of ubuntu :) (speaking about all the bot's canned responses) :P
[02:12] <R0b0t1> This is pretty recent.
[02:13] <gregbrady> I can't seem to get my Ubuntu machine to work on my network.  If I run XP all is well.  all machines see each other and share files just fine.  Under Unbuntu, no such thing.  They can see each other but I cannot share files.
[02:13] <nicodarious> _Carrie_: heh.  thanks :)
[02:13] <dr_willis> Topic says --> Official Ubuntu Support Channel  - So yes this is the official ubuntu support channel.
[02:14] <R0b0t1> For some reason when I lift up my laser mouse, the cursor goes down...
[02:14] <R0b0t1> This is pretty recent.
[02:14] <Kingsy101> can someone tell me how to re-start appache or lampp?
[02:14] <nicodarious> i just wanted to speak to someone about Ubuntu's suspend issues and see if i could trade information to see if there was some way to get it to work, that is if it hasn't been fixed yet.
[02:14] <dr_willis> R0b0t1,  check for lint. :) i had a dirty laser/led on a mouse the other day.. making it do all sorts of weird things..
[02:15] <R0b0t1> dr_willis: You were right... :(
[02:15] <roukoun> Kingsy101: sudo /etc/init.t/apache2 restart
[02:15] <nicodarious> dr_willis: nice prognosis!
[02:15] <roukoun> Kingsy101: *sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
[02:15] <Kingsy101> there is nothing in etc called init. anything
[02:15] <Uplink> how can i recover lost windows?
[02:16] <kitche> Kingsy101: well how can your system boot if you don't have /etc/init.d?
[02:16] <dr_willis> R0b0t1,  wife uses her mouse on her 'bed' since the pc is next to her bed.. shes alwyas getting lint in it.
[02:16] <gregbrady> Ok, no worries, I'll keep all machines in the house on XP.  Sharing will work that way.
[02:16] <iPercy> i have a wierd problem with my ubuntu box regarding php and curl
[02:17] <iPercy> can someone help ?
[02:17] <roukoun> Kingsy101: give the command 'locate init.d' and check it out
[02:18] <nicodarious> iPercy: what's the problem?
[02:18] <curtis> when i want to minimize a windows how can i make it minimize in the uper panel?
[02:18] <iPercy> i have some domains hosted on my box and when a try to open them via curl in php
[02:18] <iPercy> the script hangs
[02:18] <iPercy> lets say domain1.com calls domain2.com on my box
[02:18] <iPercy> but its a no go
[02:18] <nicodarious> iPercy: hmm...  well, i wished i knew about php and curl, but i haven't even a clue on what curl is.... i'm sorry
[02:18] <ctw> Hi! I just ran into a installation issue: http://paste.ubuntu.com/50686/ Any idea how to fix this?
[02:19] <iPercy> the script is fine, tested it on my mac with same wirtual hosts and it worked
[02:19] <iPercy> heh
[02:19] <iPercy> okej :D
[02:19] <curtis> anyone have an idea?
[02:19] <gregbrady> networking is not Linux's strong point.  At least with a home network.
[02:19] <iPercy> i think there is a port problem
[02:19] <iPercy> in my opinion....
[02:19] <Pici> curtis: Right click on the upper panel and add the window list applet
[02:19] <Kingsy101> roukoun - oh yea sorry I found it, it says that apache2 has not been installed and it says that it cant find the command 'apache' but I know I have installed apache because I can access http:localhost/
[02:20] <nicodarious> ctw: have you ran sudo apt-get update ?
[02:20] <ctw> nicodarious: yes, my system is up to date
[02:20] <dr_willis> I find networking to be  very useable at my home with linux. :) but i did spend the time reading the 'using samba' book - so i know whats going on when i get linux and windows mixed networks.
[02:20] <Pici> Kingsy101: How did you install Apache?
[02:20] <Kingsy101> I installed lampp
[02:20] <kitche> iPercy: to me it sounds like your missing something for php
[02:20] <[Solars]> having a hard time getting windows added to grub boot menu
[02:20] <gregbrady> dr_willis: no reading.  Just booted XP and all is well.
[02:20] <nicodarious> ctw: have you ran sudo apt-get autoremove  (i think that's the one... just in case there's anything sticking that shouldn't be there)
[02:21] <iPercy> php is fine
[02:21] <[Solars]> any advice on that topic? tried editing /boot/grub/menu.*
[02:21] <venger> anything like a language translation applet out there?
[02:21] <nicodarious> [Solars]: run sudo update-grub after you've edited the file
[02:21] <nalioth> Kingsy101: _how_ did you install apache?  and did you isntall apache or apache2?
[02:21] <iPercy> i can fetch other pages via curl
[02:21] <iPercy> it stucks only on my domains
[02:21] <iPercy> :S
[02:21] <nicodarious> [Solars]: and it'll add it to the boot menu when you reboot
[02:21] <roukoun> curtis: add the 'window list' to the upper panel
[02:21] <dr_willis> theres more to 'networking' then  just the 'network neighborhood' :) but thats not technically ubuntu support discussion.. so i will leave it at that
[02:21] <the_real_player1> should be in bed now... thanks a lot for all you help, you guys are amazing!!! :-)
[02:22] <ctw> nicodarious: yes ... ran autoremove
[02:22] <Bryce_> Does anyone know if a Wubi installation of Ubuntu supports an encrypted hard drive?
[02:22] <Uplink> anyone knows how to recover lost windows?
[02:22] <iPercy> will try to google it
[02:22] <Uplink> i tried alt-TAB but its not showing... it actually disappeared! lol
[02:22] <gregbrady> dr_willis: no problem, I understand.  XP will work for my problem.  Network Neighbourhood works just fine.
[02:22] <Kingsy101> nalioth - I installed lampp by 'tar xvfz xampp-linux-1.6.7.tar.gz -C /opt' and then used '/opt/lampp/lampp start'
[02:22] <roukoun> Kingsy101: try 'locate /etc/init.d/apach*'....... what's the output?
[02:23] <Kingsy101> ok 1 sec
[02:23] <nicodarious> ctw interesting.  try removing the program and then sudo apt-get clean then reinstall the program
[02:23] <kitche> iPercy: thought you said you were using curl in php my bad
[02:23] <Kingsy101> roukoun - it didnt return anything
[02:23] <iPercy> yes
[02:24] <[Solars]> nicodarious erm i done that and still didn't work
[02:24] <iPercy> i am using curl in php :)
[02:24] <ctw> nicodarious: sweet, that did the trick
[02:24] <ctw> nicodarious: thanks so much!
[02:24] <nicodarious> ctw :)
[02:24] <NateDawg9847> hey, I have a question.  I am having a hard time installing my creative sound card driver.  How can I do this?
[02:24] <kitche> iPercy: then you are probably missing something for php
[02:24] <iPercy> just a sec
[02:25] <[Solars]> perhaps i modified the file wrong?
[02:25] <iPercy> will upload my script
[02:25] <[Solars]> i'll check on next boot up to verify
[02:25] <nicodarious> [Solars]: so what are the steps you are taking to install the 'windows' partition to the grub menu right now?
[02:25] <roukoun> Kingsy101: ok wait a minute.....
[02:25] <Kingsy101> roukoun - ok, no problem
[02:26] <Pici> Kingsy101: Since you didn't use the version of Apache in the Ubuntu package repositories, it may be hard for someone to tell you how to control a 3rd party installation of Apache.
[02:26] <nicodarious> if you do 'sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst' then add your windows partition into it then run 'sudo update-grub' you sould be fine
[02:26] <iPercy> okey
[02:26] <iPercy> my code is here
[02:26] <iPercy> http://pastebin.com/d2442ca7a
[02:26] <[Solars]> nicodarious err now i have a disk failure error
[02:26] <roukoun> Kingsy101: what command did you gave to install apache?
[02:26] <kitche> iPercy: did you install php5-curl?
[02:26] <iPercy> yes
[02:26] <nicodarious> [Solars]: hmm.. where do you get that at?
[02:27] <nicodarious> when you try to update grub?
[02:27] <[Solars]> i am assuming it windows cuase my raid drives are offline
[02:27] <[Solars]> at boot up before grub text
[02:27] <iPercy> if i run this code....and want to open...lets say www.somedomain.com
[02:27] <iPercy> i get the content
[02:27] <sileni> hey guys someone told me to to use sudo apt-get install java-jdk6 or osmething like that
[02:27] <sileni> and now it downloaded and it is in the installer inside terminal but i dont know how to press ok
[02:27] <iPercy> the problem is if a want to get content of a domain that is hosted in my server
[02:27] <ziinja> I have a pointstick on my laptop, I was wondering if anyone knew how to enable the tap to click feature?
[02:28] <iPercy> this is the wierd part :/
[02:28] <nicodarious> [Solars]: ok, just to make sure, you know what partition your Windows is on and you have correctly added it into grub, right?  i would double-check and triple-check everything.
[02:28] <georgy_28> sileni : enter ?
[02:28] <NateDawg9847> What can I do if I have no sound?  There is a red x next to the speaker icon
[02:28] <[Solars]> nicodarious its possible i screwed it up (mbr/grub) .. going to dig out supergrubdisk and look again
[02:28] <[Solars]> windows is (hd0,0) and ubuntu is (hd1,0)
[02:29] <MaxwIn> yah
[02:29] <sileni> georgy_28: i pressed enter and its not working
[02:29] <nalioth> Kingsy101: did you read what the bot sent you?
[02:29] <nalioth> Kingsy101: i've never heard of your procedure
[02:29] <nicodarious> [Solars]: ok, but at what point?  /dev/sda1 /dev/sda2 /dev/sda*  what?
[02:29] <Kingsy101> I installed lampp by 'tar xvfz xampp-linux-1.6.7.tar.gz -C /opt' and then used '/opt/lampp/lampp st' I thought lampp installed apache for you?
[02:29] <Kingsy101> ermm 1 sec
[02:29] <georgy_28> sileni, : tab , then enter ?
[02:30] <nalioth> Kingsy101: where did you get the instructions and package to do that?
[02:30] <[Solars]> ./dev/sda1 for widnows and /dev/sda4 for ubuntu (assumingin sda1 = first disk)
[02:30] <Uplink> anyone know how to recover disappeared windows? its showing thats running on "top" but i cant see where is it
[02:30] <Kingsy101> from the lampp website
[02:30] <gregbrady> Ok, so networking is best left to XP.  Ubuntu just does not work easily, without a ton of modifications?  My XP machines share right away.
[02:30] <nicodarious> [Solars]: have you sda is the first disk, sda1 is the first partition on the first disk
[02:30] <Kingsy101> apache friends sorry ---> http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp-linux.html
[02:30] <sileni> georgy_28: i had to use arrow keys thanks
[02:30] <kitche> Uplink: you can kill the application using killall <application>
[02:30] <Uplink> unop, help me bro =[
[02:31] <georgy_28> sileni, : ok
[02:31] <Uplink> kitche, i cant kill it omg... im running an important connection
[02:31] <ltgg0524> newbie help: what/where is 'default keyring' ... wireless app keeps asking for it ??
[02:31] <nalioth> Kingsy101: please don't install things into Ubuntu that are not designed for Ubuntu
[02:31] <[Solars]> nicodarious then my references are correct
[02:31] <nalioth> ubottu: tell Kingsy101 about lamp
[02:31] <nicodarious> [Solars]: ok, have you ran from the grub prompt to double check on the grub areas?  as far as windows is on (hd0,0) and Linux is on hd(0,4)
[02:31] <yowshi> is there a way of disabling fsck?
[02:31] <nalioth> Kingsy101: please see the bots message (and uninstall whatever you did install)
[02:31] <kitche> Uplink: then that window is not recoverable
[02:31] <Kingsy101> oh, I didnt realise
[02:31] <yowshi> or manually running it without rebooting?
[02:31] <Uplink> kitche, why not? :|
[02:31] <ferric84> I added an sftp using "connect to server."  I'm trying to rsync files to it using sftp:// but to no avail.  is what i'm trying to do possible?
[02:32] <kitche> Uplink: but what window are you talking about
[02:32] <nicodarious> gregbrady: have you tried to use LinNeighborhood?
[02:32] <WDC> Hey, I need to give /opt/lampp/htdocs/wordpress permissions, because wordpress is complaining about them. What's the command I should use? (not just chroot but the whole thing, if you don't mind)
[02:32] <Uplink> kitche, i was running wine like "wine upp.exe" wine terminal is there... but upp.exe window is gone
[02:32] <com-6> sexy
[02:32] <kitche> Uplink: then it's a wine issue no clue how to recover windows for that
[02:32] <roukoun> WDC: what permissions do you want to give?
[02:33] <Uplink> crap
[02:33] <WDC> roukoun: errr, global if possible
[02:33] <Uplink> ok ty kitche
[02:33] <nicodarious> gregbrady: that's what i use if i have to share with Windows.  but there is something special that you must do if you have to share with Vista machines, no matter if you're using LN or NN4Linux
[02:33] <teerawi> hello
[02:33] <teerawi> i need help
[02:33] <gregbrady> nicodarious: nah, this should be easy.  No probs.
[02:33] <gregbrady> nicodarious: all machines back to XP
[02:33] <[Solars]> nicodarious i can't get to grub atm
[02:33] <ferric84> I added an SSH share using "connect to server."  I'm trying to rsync files to it using the destination as sftp://... but to no avail.  is what i'm trying to do possible?
[02:33] <[Solars]> my windows disks are offline
[02:34] <gregbrady> nicodarious: nope, all XP machines.  Not an issue as I said.  Back to trusty old XP.
[02:34] <[Solars]> have no clue why they are offline
[02:34] <WDC> roukoun: What should I do
[02:34] <nicodarious> gregbrady: suit yourself.
[02:34] <teerawi> i have (problems) installing from tar.gz packages, can someone tell me what package to install that will solve all the problems
[02:34] <gregbrady> nicodarious: It works
[02:34] <teerawi> mie package contain all necessary tools
[02:34] <teerawi> plz
[02:34] <roukoun> WDC:  use the chmod command to change the permission os a file... if you want to make the file readable-writable-executable by the user give the command 'chmod 700 /path/of/the/file'
[02:35] <wickedpuppy> teerawi, build-essential
[02:35] <dr_willis> teerawi,  totally depends on exactly WHAT you are trying to compile.
[02:35] <WDC> roukoun: I know what directory, Just I have no idea what I should use
[02:35] <gregbrady> nicodarious: Linux does not without a ton of work
[02:35] <teerawi> i tried with many packages but most failed
[02:35] <[Solars]> going to use the windows to to 'repair'
[02:35] <[Solars]> hoepfully
[02:35] <teerawi> manything where missing
[02:36] <teerawi> manythings where missing
[02:36] <Kelen> is there any idea for wine to supports other language in en_US local? pls
[02:36] <wickedpuppy> teerawi, pls paste the error message at pastebin so we can help
[02:36] <nicodarious> [Solars]: do you see a grub screen when you boot?
[02:36] <[Solars]> nicodarious not anymore
[02:36] <nicodarious> [Solars]: what happened?
[02:36] <nicodarious> [Solars]: you already popped in the XP CD?
[02:37] <[Solars]> i get the disk failure and request to pu the system repair disk in ... and yes i did
[02:37] <yowshi> hmmm what are the odds of doing damage to a mounted partition with fsck?
[02:37] <[Solars]> but i can restart it before it does any repairs
[02:37] <nicodarious> [Solars]: see if you can run fdisk /mbr from windows
[02:37] <roukoun> WDC: the 'chmod 700 /opt/lampp/htdocs/wordpress' command will give it global permissions... if you mean this!
[02:37] <Pici> !ftpd > curtis
[02:37] <[Solars]> i reboot the machine after a a shutdown
[02:37] <[Solars]> before the shutdown i edited grub and update-grub
[02:38] <teerawi> here
[02:38] <teerawi> http://pastebin.com/m5dd2f0d7
[02:38] <nicodarious> [Solars]: then reboot with Linux rescue CD and reinstall Grub in it's place.  then reset Windows settings inside of grub and you should be OK
[02:38] <teerawi> this is last one i tried
[02:38] <WDC> roukoun: Woot! thanks mah fieind
[02:38] <fallore> is there a rhythmbox support channel or should i use this one?
[02:38] <dr_willis> teerawi,  that can be an issue with compilin things from source.. there may be many "*-dev' packages you need to install to get all the needed support files to compile somthing.
[02:38] <wickedpuppy> teerawi, pls do put my nick next time infront if you are posting to me ... type wick and press tab
[02:38] <nicodarious> [Solars]: or you could just cut out Windows CD rescue all together and just reinstall grub from Linux rescue
[02:39] <[Solars]> nicodarious don't think it wil llet me get that far ... we'll see how things goes with the windoes repair first
[02:39] <[Solars]> since its started
[02:39] <roukoun> WDC: have fun!
[02:39] <teerawi> Wicked: i was wondering how to do this
[02:39] <Kingsy101> hmm I have tried sudo tasksel and I have select lampp but it just sits there on 0% not doing anything.. is that normal? does it generally take a while?
[02:39] <nicodarious> [Solars]: ah, just wipe Win'e'XP off your system.  don't you just hate people with dual personalities?  think of a computer with them!  ACK! :P
[02:40] <teerawi> Wicked: http://pastebin.com/m5dd2f0d7 her is the link
[02:40] <wickedpuppy> teerawi, its a gtk package prob .. you either get the required package probably gtk2-dev or something like that or get the .deb which i recommend ... which package is it btw
[02:40] <wickedpuppy> teerawi, there seems to be someone named Wicked ... press tab twice
[02:40] <wickedpuppy> lol
[02:40] <wickedpuppy> my mistake
[02:40] <teerawi> wickedpuppy: ok
[02:41] <teerawi> wickedpuppy: is this fine
[02:41] <wickedpuppy> teerawi,  there you go .. yes ... on chat my nick is highlighted as red .. stands out
[02:41] <wickedpuppy> teerawi, what package is it?
[02:41] <[Solars]> nicodarious don't think that anything is going to work till i get those drives back online
[02:41] <Kingsy101> ah, nevermind its just sprung into life
[02:41] <teerawi> wickedpuppy: u mean the one iam trying to install
[02:41] <wickedpuppy> teerawi, yes
[02:41] <teerawi> stardic-tools
[02:42] <avis> i recently had my xserver crash, then when it restarted i got the little lightbulb saying that firefox needed to be restarted ?  maybe that was before it crashed.  anyway, during this state i got the firefox lightbulb, and had no internet connection.  xserver restarted and all was fine.  any ideas ?  my sources is set to download updates, but not install them.  i'm confused.
[02:42] <teerawi> wickedpuppy: dict-tools
[02:42] <teerawi> wickedpuppy: stardict-tools
[02:42] <gregbrady> I don't understand things here.  Linux is supposed to be a networking operating system but yet a common, simple user cannot get the networking working as simple as XP.  I just don't get it.  Am I missing something simple?
[02:42] <Kingsy101> hmmm it seemed to be going well but after the installation it said 'tasksel: aptitude failed (100)
[02:42] <wickedpuppy> teerawi, dict-tools in the repo .. so is stardict-tools
[02:42] <nicodarious> gregbrady: i have one question..  have you installed smb onto your linux box?
[02:42] <crackhead> question: i really need help getting some wireless networking to work. i've tried everything on the ubuntu wireless guide, yes! still no luck. please, someone with some expertise and patience, please pm me or something..
[02:42] <Kingsy101> does that mean the installation has failed?
[02:43] <gregbrady> nicodarious: of course
[02:43] <nicodarious> gregbrady: if you have not, that's why Windows won't see your linux box
[02:43] <wickedpuppy> teerawi, sorry dict-tools is not ... stardict-tools is
[02:43] <teerawi> wickedpuppy: where to get the deb for gtk2
[02:43] <nicodarious> gregbrady: ok, so what are your two machines doing?
[02:43] <dr_willis> gregbrady,  you are confuseing the term 'networking' with 'samba/network neighborhood' - YOU Can have a whole network of machines.. without anything related to networkneighborhood/smb/samba installed.
[02:43] <gregbrady> nicodarious: my XP sees the ubuntu machine
[02:43] <nicodarious> gregbrady: ok
[02:43] <wickedpuppy> teerawi, sudo apt-get install stardict-tools ... its in the repo .. why compile?
[02:43] <nicodarious> gregbrady: now, does Linux see XP machine shares?
[02:44] <gregbrady> nicodarious: yes
[02:44] <xjohnthomasx> i need someone to walk me through wireless setup on ubuntu. i've tried all the tutorials. i know what im doing. yet i cant figure out why mine wont work!
[02:44] <teerawi> wickedpuppy: i have faced this with other packes not in the rep
[02:44] <dr_willis> gregbrady,  and yes.. samba can be a bit of an annoyance to get going.. and even with windows to windows - there can be issues with it. :) its somthing ive just leraned/tweaked/hammerd on over the years.
[02:44] <nicodarious> gregbrady: can you x-fer from XP to Linux with Linux pulling?  how about vise-versa?
[02:44] <teerawi> wickedpuppy: if gtk2 will solve it i need to install it
[02:44] <nicodarious> gregbrady: can you x-fer from Linux to XP with XP pulling?
[02:44] <gregbrady> dr_willis: I understand and sorry.  I'm so fustrated
[02:45] <gregbrady> nicodarious: linux from XP is fine
[02:45] <wickedpuppy> teerawi, then lets solve those not in the repo .. lets solve one at a time ...
[02:45] <IntuitiveNipple> teerawi: can I give you a tip that will save you a lot of problems when compiling your own packages?
[02:45] <gregbrady> nicodarious: xp from linux no go
[02:45] <xjohnthomasx> dr_willis: do you have experience with wireless setup on ubuntu?
[02:45] <dr_willis> xjohnthomasx,  my advice.. run wires. :)
[02:45] <teerawi> wickedpuppy: i would be grateful
[02:45] <nicodarious> gregbrady: ok, have you, with the 'shared' folder in linux, set the file permissions correctly?
[02:45] <xjohnthomasx> dr_willis: not possible.. but thanks.
[02:46] <sileni> has anyone made eclipse work in ubuntu
[02:46] <xjohnthomasx> anyone have really good expertise setting up wireless on ubuntu?
[02:46] <dr_willis> xjohnthomasx,  then get ready to do a lot of reading/research and good luck. :)
[02:46] <gregbrady> nicodarious: yes....according to me.
[02:46] <xjohnthomasx> dr_willis: i already have..
[02:46] <wickedpuppy> teerawi, then install stardict-tools via sudo apt-get then lets see what other package you got prob ...
[02:46] <TigranG> How can I make a cd that will autorun a script on it?
[02:46] <dr_willis> xjohnthomasx,  a lot  depends on the exact EXACT exact! (did i say exact?) chipset of your wireless card.
[02:46] <dr_willis> :)
[02:46] <sileni> i installed ubuntu then jdk + eclipse but when  i import workspace from windows all the code has errors like scanner object not recognized and stuff
[02:46] <sileni> does anyone know why this might be
[02:46] <IntuitiveNipple> teerawi: If the package is already in the Ubuntu repositories, and you're building the latest version yourself, a nice trick is to install the required development libraries using sudo apt-get build-dep <package>
[02:46] <nicodarious> gregbrady: stand by.  installing the sharing for samba onto my machine to see if i can hammer this out with you.
[02:47] <nicodarious> gregbrady: i'm going on a personal line.  join me
[02:47] <IntuitiveNipple> teerawi: Then, you can build your new source and it will find all the libraries it needs to link with first time with no errors
[02:47] <gregbrady> nicodarious: thanks.  Sorry for being so down.
[02:47] <nicodarious> gregbrady: no prob.  i have done this several times.  now go to the personal line.  hopefully the download won't be too long
[02:48] <nalioth> Kingsy101: you are going to break your system very badly
[02:48] <nicodarious> gregbrady: you should see a PM i sent you
[02:48] <iPercy> hm wierd on another ubuntu box everything works fine :D
[02:48] <teerawi> wickedpuppy: http://pastebin.com/m260ca1a9
[02:49] <IntuitiveNipple> teerawi: another tip. Again, if the package exists in the repositories, fetch the Ubuntu source using "apt-get source <package>", cd into the source directory, and load "debian/rules" into a text editor. Then search for the line that luanches the packages ./configure script, and you can get all the configure options that are correct for an Ubuntu install, and use them to configure your custom package
[02:49] <TigranG> How can I make a cd that will autorun a script on it?
[02:49] <dr_willis> TigranG,  thats normally not done under Linux.  Not even sure of a way to do it.. other then making a file on it called 'RunMe_Please.sh' :)
[02:50] <Kingsy101> nalioth - what do you mean? all I am trying to do is install lampp..  could you give me a hand possibly? get me back on track?
[02:50] <TigranG> dr_willis: ok, ubuntu lacks a lot of useful stuff..
[02:50] <fent> would anyone know how to ensure that you can vnc to the login screen even if nobody logins in
[02:50] <nalioth> Kingsy101: i have had the bot send you TWICE the instructions
[02:50] <Kingsy101> yea, I followed them and ended up with that
[02:51] <Kingsy101> I uninstalled the lampp installation that I had from the apachefriends site
[02:51] <teerawi> wickedpuppy: what if its not in the rep
[02:51] <wickedpuppy> teerawi, just normal prob ... use synaptic this time .. there should be ok .. or you can install the libmysqlclient-dev first ...
[02:51] <iPercy> hm my bad
[02:51] <Kingsy101> then I typed sudo tasksel highlighted lampp and installed it...
[02:51] <nalioth> Kingsy101: the URL ubottu sent you is easily followed

[03:00] <teerawi> wickedpuppy: do you know how to this
[03:00] <wickedpuppy> teerawi, bgl stands for ....
[03:01] <teerawi> wickedpuppy: Babylon Glossary File
[03:02] <wickedpuppy> teerawi, there are things so specific only a few people would know ... i could help with general prob .. not with specific prob such as yours ... sorry ...
[03:02] <wickedpuppy> teerawi, never heard of it and never use any dict before ...
[03:02] <abeeky> nick abeeky
[03:02] <teerawi> wickedpuppy: iam thankful for your help
[03:02] <teerawi> your tips is more than enough for me
[03:02] <teerawi> wickedpuppy: tips is more than enough for me
[03:03] <teerawi> wickedpuppy: your tips is more than enough for me
[03:03] <wickedpuppy> teerawi, sorry about it ... check the stardict page for help ... the page you download is usually the first place to turn for help .. not the general help channel
[03:03] <mib_gdm1gc> nalioth: sorry for bothering u again, but if I want to dual boot, isin't there a guided partioning system, rather than just manual?
[03:03] <teerawi> wickedpuppy: i came here for installation help
[03:03] <dr_willis> I though there was Auto/Guided/Manual.. but I always use Manual. for partioning
[03:04] <teerawi> wickedpuppy: last favour
[03:04] <shelby> hey guys im having some firefox troubles
[03:04] <wickedpuppy> teerawi, no prob .. ask away!
[03:04] <shelby> im running the newest version
[03:04] <shelby> and
[03:04] <mib_gdm1gc> dr_willis: which one allows you to create multiple partions without really having 2 do a lot of work?
[03:05] <crzyboi_Laptop> shelby, go on
[03:05] <dr_willis> mib_gdm1gc,  i dont consider the manual method to be much work.. You define the partiiton, and set its mountpoint/filesystem.. takes me all of 2 min perhaps to  get / and /home and swap setup.
[03:05] <shelby> when i start it normally its pretty much crippled, sometimesd it can go to urls and sometimes it cant but you cant use any of the back/forward/etc buttons and no addresss shows in the adcdress bar BUT
[03:05] <shelby> when you start it as root its perfectly fine, so i think this is a permissions issue
[03:05] <teerawi> wickedpuppy: where to get deb for gtk+-2.0
[03:05] <shelby> so i chmodded my ~/.mozzila directory but still nothing :\
[03:05] <dr_willis> mib_gdm1gc,  or resize the windows partition, and leave part of the HD unallocated. and tell the installer to use the unallocated space. and it can auto-partition the unallocated space.
[03:05] <shelby> ~/.mozilla :P
[03:06]  * shelby is still getting used to this new keyboard
[03:06] <crzyboi_Laptop> shelby, have you played with the about:config
[03:06] <shelby> nope
[03:06] <teerawi> wickedpuppy: or install a package contain all nessesary tools to build installations
[03:06] <mib_gdm1gc> dr_willis: i tried that before and messed up the windows partition, is guided reccomended, i mean i kno how 2 do the manual but i dont want 2 risk anything
[03:06] <shelby> i havent even been to about:config since i stuck ubuntu on this laptop a few days ago
[03:06] <dr_willis> mib_gdm1gc,  i always use manual normally.  It pays to pay attention I guess..
[03:06] <teerawi> wickedpuppy: just for future occurrences
[03:06] <mib_gdm1gc> dr_willis: is wat you suggest the guided, or should I use GParted?
[03:06] <[Solars]> nicodarious it appears i have other issues... system started to sparoticly reboot ... while in config menus (cmos and supergrub and the like)
[03:07] <[Solars]> cmos said cpu temp was fairly cool
[03:07] <schnauzer> mib_gdm1gc, if you're that worried, i'd back up everything important before you try partitioning.
[03:07] <wickedpuppy> teerawi, try this command "apt-cache search gtk2" <-- thats will give you packages containing the name of the deb you are looking for
[03:07] <crzyboi_Laptop> shelby, if you dont have any important data within firefox then try reinstalling it if you dont mind
[03:07] <dr_willis> mib_gdm1gc,  i often use gparted to resize the windows oparttion. leaving the back part of the HD unalocated.. and then  the installer can  auto  partition the unallocated space. thats often what i do.
[03:07] <digitalfiz_> are there any tools for the ipod touch yet?
[03:07] <shelby> sure
[03:07] <shelby> one sec
[03:07] <alex1234> i need some information regarding switching from windows to ubuntu as a high school student. i want to know advantages, disadvantages, etc. PM me if you wish
[03:07] <mib_gdm1gc> dr_willis: i will do tat
[03:07] <shelby> i love ubuntu, im so spoiled that i can install a new program without breaking a sweat ;)
[03:07] <[Solars]> wonder if something is over heating now
[03:08] <dr_willis> shelby,  or running a virus scanner first...
[03:08] <mib_gdm1gc> dr_willis: and about the backing up, i do do that but i dont hav time to wait for a restore
[03:08] <nalioth> mib_gdm1gc: during your install, you will be asked what t odo
[03:08] <dr_willis> mib_gdm1gc,  those are the risks you take I guess..
[03:08] <wickedpuppy> alex1234, try a live cd .. that will gives ya all the advice you need
[03:08] <teerawi> wickedpuppy: thanks for ur help
[03:08] <nicodarious> [Solars]: that is ODD!
[03:08] <wickedpuppy> teerawi, no prob ..
[03:08] <shelby> lol, i doubt ive accumulated a very rare linux virus in the few days this laptop has been alive ;)
[03:08] <mib_gdm1gc> dr_willis: i thank you for your help
[03:08] <shelby> after all, i havent done anything that i could have accumulated any
[03:08] <teerawi> wickedpuppy: i can continue from there
[03:09] <crzyboi_Laptop> dr_willis, arent there like only 4 viruses for linux?
[03:09] <alex1234> i have a lot of experience with linux. i just want to know if its alright to permanently switch to it. is it a good idea? can i do the same projects as i would with windows?
[03:09] <wickedpuppy> teerawi, good luck! :P
[03:09] <shelby> reinstalled, still has the problem... when you start it up, it dosent load the hnomepage and nothing is in the address bar
[03:09] <shelby> you think compiling it would help?
[03:09] <J-_> While viewing youtube, my wireless stopped working and, now nm-applet won't prompt be for the SSID key since I reset it on my router. What can I do to fix it? I think I've been hacked too since I don't have any bookmarks in firefox either.
[03:09] <crzyboi_Laptop> wait is that all that is wrong?.. the address bar and homepage?
[03:09] <J-_> What can I do to fix it?
[03:09] <J-_> lspci still shows my network card
[03:10] <wickedpuppy> alex1234,  if you got a lot of experience then you should know the answer ... sorry if i sound impolite.. but how we help you if you never tell us what kind of project .. what kind of requirement???
[03:10] <shelby> nah, thats not all, most of the time it wont load urls, sound in flash dosent work... no buttons, etc...
[03:10] <shelby> its practically unusable
[03:10] <schnauzer> shelby, try opening up a terminal, and type "sudo apt-get purge firefox", then reinstall
[03:10] <dr_willis> crzyboi_Laptop,  i doubt if any of those you are thinking of would even be considered a 'real' virus..   the few ive seen are  just 'examples' and even they are only just barely defineable as a virus
[03:11] <shelby> kk
[03:11] <yowshi> is there a way of disabling fsck?
[03:11] <yowshi> or manually running it without rebooting or damaging a partition?
[03:11] <dr_willis> shelby,  move your settings dir to some other dir/name - thus resetting all settings back to defaults.. and se eif that helps. It could be some weird setting/extension messing things up
[03:11] <shelby> no luck :(
[03:11] <dr_willis> yowshi,  yes to both questions.
[03:12] <yowshi> dr_willis: cool would love to know how. fsck is the reason i hate rebooting
[03:12] <crzyboi_Laptop> shelby, any specific plugins u have installed?
[03:12] <dr_willis> yowshi,   if you are fscking at every boot.. you got somthing weird going on.
[03:12] <shelby> just stumbleupon
[03:13] <shelby> lets see if uninstalling it helps any
[03:13] <dr_willis> yowshi,  if using that ext2/3 tool for windows.. i suggest  only using it as needed.. :)  ive seen it cause issues.. you might want to boot a live cd and manually fsck all filesystems also
[03:13] <yowshi> dr_willis: not every reboot no. but every reboot is one reboot closer to the bloody fsck running and some of my partitions are over 200 gigs.
[03:13] <shelby> got rid of stumbleupon. no luck :\
[03:14] <dr_willis> yowshi,  you can set the #'s btweeen fscks and you can easially set some drives to be a different #.  or disable it competely (not reccomdnede)
[03:14] <yowshi> dr_willis: 200+ gigs takes a while for fsck to get through where my computer does nothing but display the counter for like 20-30 minutes
[03:14] <dr_willis> yowshi,  i run limnux on my laptop that i amconstantly booting up.. and i  only see it fsck rarely.. like once a month or so.
[03:14] <yowshi> dr_willis: what exactly does fsck do
[03:14] <hitman1985> hi @ all, im runing hardy heron 8.04 and i got some network printer issues with a hp office jet
[03:14] <dr_willis> yowshi,  Hmm.. 250gb hd here.. takes about 3 min to check at boot time for me.
[03:15] <crzyboi_Laptop> hitman1985, wat kind of issues?
[03:15] <yowshi> dr_willis: odd mine takes alot longer then 3 minutes
[03:15] <dr_willis> fsck = filesystem check.
[03:15] <schnauzer> yowshi: it's kind of like chkdsk for Windows; it checks for & repairs errors.
[03:15] <saleh> hi
[03:15] <kevinO> hello o have like 5 screen sessions how do i kill them?
[03:15] <RyanPrior> Is there a way to get audioscrobbling support for Totem?
[03:15] <J-_> Is there anyway to scan for a virus on my machine? I know it's highly impossible, but I still may have one.
[03:15] <kevinO> I*
[03:15] <shelby> clamxav
[03:15] <hitman1985> crzyboi_Laptop, i got actually 2 hp printers on my linksys wrt54g, one is an older 2600 series hp, and the newer officejet is the issue
[03:15] <yowshi> schnauzer: if i recall correctly windows only needed that when the computer was shut down improperly
[03:15] <shelby> clamav*
[03:15] <dr_willis> J-_,  most av software for linux..scans files for windows viruses. :)
[03:15] <shelby> lol
[03:15] <hitman1985> crzyboi_Laptop, i cant find it in auto detect mode
[03:16] <dr_willis> bye all.
[03:16] <yowshi> why does ubuntu run it in my caseevery 25 reoots or so]
[03:16] <shelby> hmmm
[03:16] <crzyboi_Laptop> hitman1985, can you find it manually?
[03:16] <shelby> does firefox use anything outside of ~/.mozilla?
[03:16] <crzyboi_Laptop> shelby, im not sure
[03:16] <J-_> Will clamav scan every directory I have?
[03:17] <schnauzer> yowshi: linux also runs fsck when shut down improperly, on some filesystems.
[03:17] <hitman1985> crzyboi_Laptop, it doesnt even really show up as hp... on the router tho, just checked that :(
[03:17] <crzyboi_Laptop> shelby, probably not because thats the root
[03:17] <craigbass1976> My laptop wireless is a turd since upgrading to hardy.  Is the broadcom driver included running 11mbs or something?
[03:17] <hitman1985> HP9F4E24	192.168.1.102	00-1b-78-9f-4e-24	Ethernet	
[03:17] <hitman1985> €8°	192.168.1.103	00-0d-9d-01-83-e1	Ethernet
[03:17] <shelby> ah true
[03:17] <J-_> yeah my wireless just went kaput
[03:17] <crzyboi_Laptop> hitman1985, the older printer works fine tho right?
[03:17] <hitman1985> crzyboi_Laptop, HP9F4E24	192.168.1.102	00-1b-78-9f-4e-24	Ethernet	
[03:17] <hitman1985> €8°	192.168.1.103	00-0d-9d-01-83-e1	Ethernet............... this is what i got
[03:17] <crzyboi_Laptop> hitman1985, its not the router?
[03:17] <randomlogic78> I would like to prevent users from logging in via ssh and allow only users in a particular group.  I've edited /etc/ssh/sshd_config  and added the line "AllowGroups groupname" but any user can still ssh
[03:17] <yowshi> schnauzer: yeah it runs some kind of short hand version of the fulkl scan it runs on my 250 gigs every 25 reboots
[03:17] <hitman1985> crzyboi_Laptop, yep the older one works just fine
[03:18] <crzyboi_Laptop> shelby, sorry i couldnt help you out more
[03:18] <shelby> im going to try cp its fine
[03:18] <grim76> randomlogic78: did you restart the ssh service?
[03:18] <randomlogic78> yes
[03:18] <shelby> you guys are awesome
[03:18] <hitman1985> crzyboi_Laptop, im guessign the new one has 102 in the end
[03:18] <J-_> randomlogic78:  change the ssh port
[03:18] <TigranG> hey how can I extract backup.img.gz to /media/Backup/__restore_data__. i'm doing gunzip -c backup.img.gz while in the __restore_data__ directory and it doesnt work
[03:18] <yowshi> schnauzer: those only take a minute or two to run. when it goes for a full scan it takes alot longer
[03:18] <shelby> you cant walk into a linux irc channel these days without having your head removed, im just glad you tried to be as helpful as you did :)
[03:18] <crzyboi_Laptop> hitman1985, so it isnt a router problem... did you follow the network printing instructions from the manual?
[03:18] <randomlogic78> J-_ why would that help?
[03:19] <randomlogic78> then anyone that knows the port can still login
[03:19] <grim76> randomlogic78: did you include a denyusers line as well?
[03:19] <J-_> at least it wouldn't de default
[03:19] <hitman1985> crzyboi_Laptop, no manual :-( so i thought it might be just installing a driver or something like that
[03:19] <J-_> be*
[03:19] <randomlogic78> grim76: no, what is the syntax for that
[03:19] <crzyboi_Laptop> hitman1985, look up the latest drivers on hp's site
[03:19] <yowshi> schnauzer: so how can i do something about this. if not disable it make it do the shorter scan or something. or manually run it whenthe comps booted so i can have some if minimal functionality out of my comp during the scan
[03:19] <hitman1985> crzyboi_Laptop, think i should give each pc on it a static ip ( one ip all the time the same ? )
[03:19] <grim76> randomlogic78: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-security-4/sshdconf-allowusers-access-441070/
[03:20] <randomlogic78> thanks
[03:20] <crzyboi_Laptop> hitman1985, yes... that way the computer knows exactly which one every time
[03:20] <hitman1985> crzyboi_Laptop, wow i havent done that in a loooong time :(
[03:21] <yowshi> anyon4e else know anything about fsck?
[03:21] <digitalfiz_> i always give static ips
[03:21] <hitman1985> crzyboi_Laptop, on the linux i guess disable roaming mode ?\
[03:22] <kevinO> hello I have like 5 screen sessions how do i kill them?
[03:22] <crzyboi_Laptop> hitman1985, ya
[03:22] <sileni> hmm i just installed ubuntu and i get so many updates like 126 mb of update should i just select all and install?
[03:22] <crzyboi_Laptop> kevinO, restart X ctrl+alt+bkspc
[03:22] <hitman1985> crzyboi_Laptop, :) thank you. ima be right back i guess
[03:22] <sileni> is this like windows where the better you updated the secure you are?
[03:23] <schnauzer> sileni: this is true of any software.
[03:23] <kevinO> crzyboi_Laptop, its on my vps though
[03:23] <kevinO> im using "screen"
[03:23] <sileni> schnauzer: ok i will update all
[03:23] <crzyboi_Laptop> sileni, is you update often... then you know ur secure and all the bugs are fixed
[03:23] <sileni> ok guys thanks
[03:23] <sileni> appreciate it
[03:24] <randomlogic78> thanks deny fixed it
[03:25] <crzyboi_Laptop> kevinO, so do it on ur vps
[03:26] <College_trained> is intrepid stable these days? i haven't checked recently
[03:26] <crzyboi_Laptop> College_trained, there's still alot of bugs
[03:26] <kevinO> crzyboi_Laptop, there s no x on my vps
[03:27] <kevinO> is*
[03:27] <kevinO> lol
[03:27] <grim76> randomlogic78: no problem
[03:27] <schnauzer> College_trained: Intrepid is still not recommended for a production machine.
[03:27] <College_trained> thanks
[03:28] <College_trained> good to know
[03:28] <crzyboi_Laptop> hitman1985, any success
[03:28] <crzyboi_Laptop> kevinO, u probably dont want to restart rite?
[03:29] <steve__> wee
[03:29] <grim76> kevinO: you can re-connect to those sessions and exit out of them.
[03:29] <solexious> What do i add to rm to remove a folder?
[03:29] <kevinO> crzyboi_Laptop, no i cant its not my vps, i just have an account
[03:29] <ridata> solexious: rm -r
[03:30] <kevinO> grim76, i cant figure out how to exit them
[03:30] <DJBC> i thought it was rmdir
[03:30] <ridata> DJBC: that works too
[03:30] <Spragie`> terminal
[03:30] <solexious> so rm /home/sol/* -r would remove any files and folders in /home/charles
[03:30] <grim76> just type exit then you will eventually get one that will say [screen terminating]
[03:30] <ridata> solexious: put the -r right after rm
[03:31] <ridata> solexious: and then yes, it will.
[03:31] <solexious> ridata, thank you
[03:31] <Tricyclethief> You won the fight, taking 4 damage and dealing 25 damage to your enemy. You gained $168 and 1 experience points.
[03:31] <Tricyclethief> You iced fUNKmOBSTAH.
[03:31] <Tricyclethief> lol i got my first kill at lvl 1!!!
[03:31] <ridata> DJBC: rmdir will remove the directories, rm -r will remove the directories and folders in one fell swoop
[03:31] <kevinO> grim thanks
[03:31] <Tricyclethief> oh doh wrong window =\
[03:31] <DJBC> ridata: does rm -r remove all files and folders?
[03:32] <grim76> kevinO: Not  a problem.
[03:32] <neil_d> why does the alternative cdrom, install lilo instead of grub when you don't install a desktop ?
[03:32] <ridata> DJBC: yeah
[03:32] <nosbig> DJBC: Depending on the permissions, yes.
[03:32] <DJBC> wow and all this time i've been using rm and rmdir
[03:32] <DJBC> haha
[03:37] <Pici> neil_d: Its probably due to the filesystem type you chose.
[03:37] <sean> seansobes

[04:01] <roukoun> FFEMTcJ: actually i'm not sure but i dont think so... anyway you can use an alias to do that...
[04:01] <FFEMTcJ> ?
[04:02] <Jordan_U> FFEMTcJ: gnome-terminal -c "ssh whoever@whatever"
[04:02] <FFEMTcJ> Jordan_U: thanks

[04:04] <[Solars]> erm Live CD can get a crc error?
[04:04] <Makuseru> Are there any media converters in Ubuntu to turn .wav's to .mp3's?
[04:05] <Scunizi> MakeGho: is this for your player? or just storage?
[04:05] <tgblb> Makuseru, I think audacity can do that.
[04:05] <pryorda> besides sysvconfig
[04:05] <Scunizi> Makuseru: is this for your player? or just storage?
[04:05] <pryorda> bah
[04:05] <Scunizi> MakeGho: sorry wrong nick

[04:06] <Lone`Wolf> speakin of audacity I need to know what repos I need to get audacious
[04:06] <Makuseru> Scunizi: to upload to Soundclick
[04:06] <Scunizi> [Solars]: might be a bad burn
[04:06] <Odd-rationale> !info nautilus-script-audio-convert | Makuseru
[04:06] <[Solars]> Scunizi strang if it is, cuase i been using it all day
[04:06] <Odd-rationale> Makuseru: Also, look up soundconverter
[04:06] <Makuseru> Thanks for the help guys, got Audacity to do it really quick.
[04:07] <Odd-rationale> Makuseru: or, if you don't want to install anything... ad you only have a couple files or so, try some online services: http://www.zamzar.com
[04:07] <Scunizi> Makuseru: soundconverter is the one.. it's in the repos
[04:07] <Makuseru> Odd-rationale: thanks, thats really helpful
[04:08] <[Solars]> i'll try burnning another cd
[04:08] <Scunizi> [Solars]: thought you were having issues on boot.. so you get the error and it continues?
[04:08] <[Solars]> scunzi nope its a new error .. .might be related to why my raid has all disk offline members
[04:09] <[Solars]> trying to get into livecd and load up some raid apps to see if i can fix the problem
[04:09] <Scunizi> [Solars]: you working on "server" or desktop? and you're right.. the desktop live cd doesn't have auto raid.
[04:09] <softnet> alguien habla español
[04:09] <[Solars]> desktop
[04:10] <[Solars]> 'lo cars__
[04:10] <Scunizi> [Solars]: can you get into "rescue" or "recover" kernel.. it's command line but you might be able to do it there.
[04:10] <bronzewalla> anyone know if there's a program that you can record video with a webcam in ubuntu?
[04:10] <softnet> alguen habla españollllllll
[04:10] <[Solars]> Scunizi burning another disk :P
[04:10] <Scunizi> [Solars]: as SLOW as your burner will go
[04:11] <[Solars]> Scunizi just strange that a cd goes bad that quick
[04:11] <tritium> !es | softnet
[04:11] <[Solars]> and it wasn't even scratched
[04:11] <Scunizi> [Solars]: you might also try the "alternate" cd
[04:11] <[Solars]> whats the "alternate" cd
[04:12] <Scunizi> [Solars]: it's not live.. it's a text install cd that has some extra stuff like LVM
[04:13] <cars__> [Solars]: Hello!
[04:13] <[Solars]> scunizi i am sure my problems currently not related tothe cd but rather my mobo going ou
[04:14] <Scunizi> [Solars]: k
[04:14] <^paradox^> im in need of help setting up sharing of a printer over a network between a ubuntu pc and vista pc. the guy who was helping me had to leave. heres our conversation http://rafb.net/p/ynwmR762.html

[04:14] <[Solars]> or rather one major problem after the next
[04:14] <Davidgfhgfh> roukoun: the md5 are the same
[04:14] <[Solars]> biggest problem now )totally unrelated to ubuntu) is my raid desk has all "offline members" so i can't even load/mbr to either OS atm
[04:15] <binskipy2u> guys i asked this in kde 4.x room, but ill  ask it backwards in here.. if i installed ubuntu, and then added kde 4.1.1 and realized how much i like ubuntu(gnome)
[04:15] <Davidgfhgfh> roukoun: im going to burn and then try and see if it worked. even though i dought it
[04:15] <binskipy2u> is there any advantage to getting rid of kde?
[04:15] <binskipy2u> uninstalling it
[04:15] <binskipy2u> per say
[04:15] <jrib> binskipy2u: you get some space on your hard drive
[04:15] <MakeGho> Scunizi: no problem ;) I'm used to it. In the recent times people often pasted lines like "make:<tab> *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop." and I got them all.
[04:16] <binskipy2u> 500gigs..thats not an issue

[04:23] <Spragie`> anyone know why x would just restart itself for no apparent reason? -- or know how/where i could find info on why it would do this?
[04:23] <tritium> Spragie`: you're asking for a reason for something with no apparent reason.  Come on, be reasonable.
[04:23] <jrib> ^paradox^: k, well I'm just telling you that if you actual want help from people that have just joined, then you should be repeating your question with details.  Otherwise address the users who helped you before

[04:24] <jrib> !pm | ubbuntu-newbie
[04:24] <jrib> ubbuntu-newbie: what version of ubuntu are you using?
[04:24]  * genii ponders "archive version"
[04:24] <dTx> So have there been many e1000e OMG! posts today?
[04:25] <Bogus8> for a software raid... do I need to have a mdadm.conf file?  I've been running without one for a long time but everything I have been reading says to type out a command and echo it out to that file
[04:25] <danbh_intrepid> dTx: I think thats intrepid, right?
[04:25] <dTx> yep
[04:25] <dTx> Intrepid
[04:25] <[timux]> Hello, I've got a Radeon 9200 I'm trying to connect to a TV using s-video out. While the system is booting, it displays on the screen, but as soon as the system finishes booting and the OS has loaded the signal can no longer be detected by the TV.
[04:26] <pryorda> jrib: I update-rc.d does not help for what I want so again. What i want to do is view the config that stores the startup information so i can actually edit it
[04:26] <Davidgfhgfh> is there a way for me to install linux but still use the windows bootloader???
[04:26] <danbh_intrepid> dTx: you should ask in #ubuntu+1
[04:26] <jrib> pryorda: you need to be more specific then.  What exactly are you trying to edit?
[04:26] <SaintYossarian> Does anyone know how to change the configuration for mouse buttons in Ubuntu 8.04?
[04:26] <ubbuntu-newbie> how do you install things that come archived?????
[04:26] <[timux]> I've tried following this http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Tvout guide, but it doesn't seem to be working so far. Any ideas?
[04:27] <danbh_intrepid> !mouse > SaintYossarian
[04:27] <pryorda> Im trying to find out what file stored the startup information for services that are in init.d
[04:27] <jrib> ubbuntu-newbie: you try to avoid it.  It's a lot better to use the Repositories as then you get automatic security updates.  There's also no general method for installing something that "come archived"
[04:27] <XeKtRuM> better
[04:27] <SaintYossarian> Oh thanks!
[04:27] <^paradox^> im in need of a hand setting up sharing of a printer over a network. itll be shared between a ubuntu and a vista pc. we have cable internet, vonage phone service and the router is a vonage one with 4 ethernet ports, 2 phone ports. was hoping someone could help me finish up. heres my previous conversation for referrence http://rafb.net/p/ynwmR762.html
[04:27] <XeKtRuM> how can I disable a device
[04:27] <XeKtRuM> ?
[04:27] <pryorda> ./configure && make *&& make install
[04:28] <genii> XeKtRuM: blacklist it's driver
[04:28] <Davidgfhgfh> hey does anyone recomend wubi
[04:28] <yowshi> anyone know why i cant install the zsnes emulator which seems to be in the repo?
[04:28] <XeKtRuM> damn
[04:28] <jrib> yowshi: pastebin what happens when you try?
[04:28] <pryorda> jrib: Im trying to find out what file stored the startup information for services that are in init.d
[04:28] <XeKtRuM> genii, the problem it is that I have two devices using the same driver
[04:28] <ubbuntu-newbie> @ jrib..... i have got firefox version 2.0 .... but the new one is 3.02
[04:28] <ubbuntu-newbie> how do i get the new version
[04:28] <XeKtRuM> but I only want to disable 1
[04:28] <danbh_intrepid> Davidgfhgfh: its supposed to be a good way to try out ubuntu...   If all you want to do is see ubuntu for the first time, definitely go with wubi
[04:29] <jrib> pryorda: man update-rc.d.  That's what you want.  And if you believe it's not then you need to state exactly what you are trying to do
[04:29] <yowshi> jrib: i made the atempt form the add remove programmes thing in the applications menu
[04:29] <pryorda> Im trying to fing the config
[04:29] <jrib> ubbuntu-newbie: what version of ubuntu?
[04:29] <pryorda> kinda like rc.conf in bsd
[04:29] <ubbuntu-newbie> 7.04
[04:29] <jrib> yowshi: try with apt-get install
[04:29] <pryorda> and inetd.conf in freebsd
[04:29] <jrib> pryorda: read the man file
[04:29] <kindofabuzz> yowshi, sudo aptitude install zsnes
[04:29] <jrib> man page
[04:29] <genii> XeKtRuM: Some bios allow disabling of onboard devices like ethernet adapter, serial port,soundcard etc etc. Might be way to go if the one you don't want is onthe motherboard
[04:29] <Flynsarmy> Does the latest version of nautilus support keepalives when SSHing?
[04:29] <yowshi> jrib: hmmm it says that the package is not avilable but is reffered to by some other package
[04:30] <ubbuntu-newbie> @ jrib 7.04
[04:30] <danbh_intrepid> 7.04, isnt that feisty?  mmm, ubbuntu-newbie , why havent you upgraded?
[04:30] <Davidgfhgfh> ok
[04:30] <jrib> yowshi: pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list
[04:30] <ubbuntu-newbie> its a miracle i got this one installed
[04:30] <jrib> ubbuntu-newbie: if you upgrade to 8.04, you'll have firefox 3 available to you
[04:30] <ubbuntu-newbie> is a manual update not possible?
[04:30] <XeKtRuM> genii, in fact the one I need it is the one in the motherboard, and I need to disable the one from my Ati Card (I m talking about sound devices)
[04:30] <SaintYossarian> Okay, so I'm at this page suggested by danbh_intrepid, but I have no idea what any of this means.  Is there somewhere that explains wth this terminology means?  Someday I'll know what the heck all of this terminology means...
[04:31] <kindofabuzz> ubbuntu-newbie, you'd probably be better off just formatting and installing 8.04
[04:31] <jrib> ubbuntu-newbie: it is, and I'll send you instructions, but I recommend you upgrade anyway since 7.04 is about to reach EOL
[04:31] <Davidgfhgfh> i have wubi and it is installing right now ill be back on ubuntu or back on xo
[04:31] <Davidgfhgfh> xp i mean
[04:31] <jrib> !firefox > ubbuntu-newbie
[04:31] <danbh_intrepid> SaintYossarian: what are you trying to do?
[04:31] <yowshi> jrib: http://pastebin.com/f780a2344
[04:31] <^paradox^> im in need of a hand setting up sharing of a printer over a network. itll be shared between a ubuntu and a vista pc. we have cable internet, vonage phone service and the router is a vonage one with 4 ethernet ports, 2 phone ports. was hoping someone could help me finish up. heres my previous conversation for referrence http://rafb.net/p/ynwmR762.html
[04:31] <ubbuntu-newbie> hnk you
[04:32] <SaS> tritium: lol that made my system lockup trying to get to the bottom of that log file ha
[04:32] <genii> XeKtRuM: I think you'd have to muck around in the udev system for it, unfortunately
[04:32] <tritium> SaS: what did?
[04:33] <felsgold> anyone know where i could talk about em8300?
[04:33] <SaintYossarian> danbh_intrepid:  Okay, in most of my use on other OS (Windows...) mousewheel click (mouse three) and roll means very fast scroll instead of standard roll.  default in 8.04 it goes back in the browser.  I'd like to change it to what I'm used to.
[04:33] <XeKtRuM> genii, :o :( ok, thanks anyway
[04:33] <genii> XeKtRuM: You might want to try setting the onboard as the primary
[04:33] <SaS> tritium: i used gedit to open Xorg.0.log and started scrolling down w/ the scroll bar and my system froze up
[04:33] <jrib> yowshi: what is the output of 'uname -m'?
[04:33] <RudyValencia> How do I configure a wifi connection from the console?
[04:34] <J-_> Is there anyway to see if my network is encrypted with WPA2 while connected to it?
[04:34] <Daps> when running apache2 how can i find out what my server's "host name" is ???
[04:34] <XeKtRuM> genii, the only thing I want it is that my default soundcard (MB) goes in /dev/dsp and not in /dev/dsp1
[04:34] <genii> XeKtRuM: asoundconf   has commands for listing and choosing the primary device for sound
[04:34] <tritium> SaS: unusual
[04:34] <yowshi> jrib: you co0uld have just asked X86_64. but then i alreayd knew i was running a 64 bit system
[04:34] <pryorda> jrib: im not understanding update-rc.d
[04:34] <SaS> tritium:  where would i look to see if there is shared irqs/conflicting irqs ? im thinking maybe my pci wifi card and pci graphics card maybe conflicting ?
[04:34] <jrib> yowshi: zsnes isn't available on 64 bit
[04:34] <danbh_intrepid> SaintYossarian: sorry mate, I dont think I can help
[04:34] <XeKtRuM> genii, my MB soundcard it is allready as the default one
[04:35] <pryorda> jrib: everything in rc*.d that points to a init.d script will start?
[04:35] <jrib> pryorda: so just use sysv-rc-conf.  It will let you change what services start on what levels
[04:35] <SaintYossarian> danbh_intrepid: Ah, well... thanks anyhow
[04:35] <yowshi> jrib: ok so then hw do i install this from source. i presume i am going to need to do some work around
[04:35] <genii> XeKtRuM: No other immediate ideas come to mind then
[04:36] <XeKtRuM> The thing it is that (I dont know Why) I cant reproduce systems sounds cause makes my system crash when playing sounds
[04:36] <fallore> is there a similar or better music player than rhythmbox?
[04:36] <jrib> pryorda: well everything in rcRUNLEVEL.d
[04:36] <jrib> pryorda: that starts with an S
[04:36] <jrib> !player | fallore
[04:36] <SaS> tritium: thnx for the advice anyways, i need to run to the store; roommate is b****ing
[04:36] <pryorda> what about K stuff
[04:36] <XeKtRuM> genii, and a lot of software dont work cause my sound card it is in /dev/dsp1 and not /dev/dsp
[04:37] <tritium> SaS: ok
[04:37] <^paradox^> im in need of a hand setting up sharing of a printer over a network. itll be shared between a ubuntu and a vista pc. we have cable internet, vonage phone service and the router is a vonage one with 4 ethernet ports, 2 phone ports. was hoping someone could help me finish up. heres my previous conversation for referrence http://rafb.net/p/ynwmR762.html
[04:37] <jrib> pryorda: stops/disables them
[04:37] <XeKtRuM> Other thing strange it is that sometimes it sounds like it is on a cave or lopping (ding ding ding ding...)
[04:37] <XeKtRuM> when I play a sound
[04:38] <yowshi> jrib: bugger i can just wine it
[04:38] <Xonara> test
[04:38]  * KidJoe1665 hates being ignored.... But must get answer to question...
[04:38] <pryorda> so im trying to figure out what runlevel is exactly now
[04:39] <christan> Hello, I Am Really New At This, Is There Anybody That Can Help Me With A Few Of My Questions??
[04:39] <Cool-Nick> hi guys, i have a laptop with 256 RAM. Which ubuntu version do you recommend?
[04:39] <SaintYossarian> Does anyone know how to make Ubuntu 8.04 mouse configuration changes?  (Mouse-3 or wheel clicks DO cause browser-back, WANT them to cause 'fast-scroll')
[04:39] <jrib> pryorda: runlevels 2-5 are identical by default.  2 is default
[04:39] <christan> !myspace
[04:39] <christan> !java
[04:39] <pryorda> jrib: i read the man on runlevel
[04:39] <pryorda> SO what is Run level
[04:39] <Xonara> Uhh hey. I tried to compile something with scite but it spits out a .o file and I have no idea what to do with it. I couldn't find a scite room so... meh.
[04:40] <XeKtRuM> if I make a script to execute on start
[04:41] <pryorda> jrib: I'm running ubuntu in a vm
[04:41] <XeKtRuM> I need to give it permissions?
[04:41] <pryorda> is it normal for it to take forever
[04:41] <XeKtRuM> wish ones?
[04:41] <jrib> pryorda: forever to do what?
[04:41] <pryorda> Load Period
[04:41] <Tarantulafudge> I'm alive, I thought I would never get back on the net!
[04:41] <mooja> Xonara: .o file is the executable
[04:41] <pryorda> its just really slow
[04:42] <Tarantulafudge> there are no decent realtek wifi drivers for rtl8187b :(
[04:42] <jrib> pryorda: forever isn't very accurate, but it doesn't take a long time to boot in a vm for me
[04:42] <mooja> Xonara: but I believe this is the wrong channel to ask this question
[04:42] <Tarantulafudge> this driver BARELY works
[04:42] <pryorda> jrib: hardware?
[04:42] <jrib> pryorda: core 2 duo 1.8ghz, 2gb ram
[04:42] <ahtmly2k> hi can anyone help me? how do i customize the startup programs in hardy? cause i tried using "sessions" preferences but AWN never starts automatically everytime i reboot...
[04:42] <pryorda> i have 1.8 ghz sempron 1 gig of ram
[04:43] <pryorda> Could that be the reason
[04:43] <^paradox^> im in need of a hand setting up sharing of a printer over a network. itll be shared between a ubuntu and a vista pc. we have cable internet, vonage phone service and the router is a vonage one with 4 ethernet ports, 2 phone ports. was hoping someone could help me finish up. heres my previous conversation for referrence http://rafb.net/p/ynwmR762.html
[04:43] <Xonara> yeah I figured
[04:43] <Xonara> I tried running it and... Really, nothing happened.
[04:43] <pryorda> ^paradox^: read teh man on samba
[04:43] <jrib> pryorda: should be more than enough.  what vm are you using?
[04:43] <Cool-Nick> what versions of Ubuntu do you recommend for a 256 RAM laptop?
[04:43] <jrib> Cool-Nick: xubuntu
[04:43] <mooja> Xonara: you will have to chmod +x <file>.o
[04:43] <pryorda> VMware Server 2
[04:44] <Xonara> I'll try that
[04:44] <Cool-Nick> jrib: i don't like it
[04:44] <pryorda> its running better once x starts
[04:44] <pryorda> but its lagging as shit when you start say fluxbox
[04:44] <Cool-Nick> jrib: xfce if awful
[04:44] <pryorda> sorry for cursing
[04:44] <jrib> pryorda: tried to see if the same thing happens with a different distro?
[04:45] <pryorda> jrib: it happens with freebsd too
[04:45] <jrib> Cool-Nick: well, gnome and kde will probably be sluggish unless you buy some more ram.  ram is cheap
[04:45] <pryorda> Fluxbox started right up
[04:45] <crdlb> Cool-Nick: any chance you could replace one of the 128MB sticks with a 256?
[04:45] <pryorda> maybe it just needed vmware tools
[04:45] <Xonara> I tried typing in the filename and it complains that test.o isn't a command.
[04:45] <jrib> pryorda: try the vmware channel, they might have some ideas
[04:45] <crdlb> 384 should be enough
[04:45] <Xonara> umm...
[04:45] <pryorda> jrib: its better now
[04:45] <pryorda> heh
[04:46] <SaintYossarian> Anyone know how to change a Ubuntu 8.04 mouse-3 configuration change?
[04:46] <Cool-Nick> jrib: i have 256 DDR 333MHz ram. It's toooooo expensive
[04:46] <pryorda> vmware tools is what it needed
[04:46] <Cool-Nick> crdlb: i have 256
[04:46] <crdlb> Cool-Nick: usually they give you two sticks of 128MB to save money
[04:46] <jrib> Cool-Nick: "512 DDR 333MHz" in google gives me hits for like 30 bucks
[04:47] <eTiger13> how do i create command line shortcuts? as in vim /etc/apache/sites-available/default <- edithttp
[04:47] <tritium> eTiger13: "alias"
[04:47] <mooja> Xonara: try "./test.o"
[04:48] <KidJoe1665> can anyone read what I am typing?
[04:48] <jrib> KidJoe1665: yeah
[04:48] <tritium> eTiger13: your ~/.bashrc has some examples of alias definitions you can check out
[04:48] <J-_> Will nm-applet show my SSID even if I tell it not to broadcast on my router? I'm connected to it on wireless but I can see my network and others.
[04:48] <tritium> J-_: no
[04:48] <Cool-Nick> jrib: i don't know, but i asked in the market. 1 GB costs 100$!
[04:48] <KidJoe1665> ok, good so i'm just being ignored... not like i was silanced or anything...
[04:48] <J-_> tritium:  Sounds good. :D
[04:48] <Xonara> terminal says it can't execute binary file...
[04:48] <J-_> tritium:  Thanks.
[04:49] <rafkid> evening all
[04:49] <Cool-Nick> jrib: i wish i get 2GB RAM. My CPU is 1.6GHz which is really great
[04:49] <Cool-Nick> jrib: if i install 2GB RAM, my laptop would live for 3 years
[04:50] <Cool-Nick> crdlb: i have one 256
[04:50] <mooja> Xonara: I would google "programming on linux" and see if you get anything
[04:50] <J-_> One more daft question. Can I somehow see if my network is using WPA2 to connect and not some other encryption?
[04:50] <mooja> Xonara: you need to learn how the compiler works first
[04:50] <Xonara> Meh. Thanks for helping though
[04:51] <Xonara> Scite seemed to work fine in windows, but it was a while back ago and I don't remember much of it
[04:51] <genii> J-_: sudo iwlist <ifacename> scan    then look for the essid of your wap, examine the stanzas there
[04:51] <Mooninaut> Can anyone think of a reason why GRUB would try to boot from sda1 when I explicitely told it to look in sdb1?
[04:52] <Cool-Nick> jrib: google this "1GB DDR SDRAM 333MHz notebook"
[04:52] <J-_> genii:  what do you mean by ifacename? My network name?
[04:52] <Cool-Nick> $100
[04:52] <genii> J-_: wlan0 ath0   etc etc
[04:52] <mooja> Xonara: scite just uses a wrapper script for gCC. if you're serious about programming you should learn how gcc works first
[04:52] <J-_> genii:  thanks muchly
[04:53] <SaintYossarian> Anyone know how to enable auto-scroll in FF3.01 for Ubuntu 8.04?
[04:53] <mooja> Xonara: good luck with your learning though
[04:53] <Xonara> thanks :P
[04:54] <rafkid> can anyone spare five minutes to help me with adding a user to the sudoers sources.list please?
[04:54] <ahtmly2k> hi can anyone help me? how do i customize the startup programs in hardy? cause i tried using "sessions" preferences but AWN never starts automatically everytime i reboot...
[04:54] <tritium> rafkid: simple -- add them to the "admin" group.  Don't touch the /etc/sudoers file at all.
[04:55] <kindofabuzz> FF 3.03beta is out in the repos now
[04:55] <SaintYossarian> 3.03 is unacceptable to me for unrelated reasons.  ;.;
[04:55] <Mez> tritium, I think he means he only wants them to be able to edit sources.list ?
[04:55] <pryorda> What would I use to configure Some stuff
[04:55] <pryorda> bah
[04:55] <Mez> SaintPaulTom, I'd prefer a version 4.04
[04:55] <kindofabuzz> SaintPaulTom, that wasn't directed at you. i was just announcing it
[04:55] <tritium> Mez: maybe so.  Wording was odd.
[04:55] <Davidgfhgfh> does anybody know what this mean:
[04:55] <mooja> ahtmly2k: awn is a menu plugin right?
[04:55] <pryorda> I want to find info on my video card and everything how do i do that
[04:56] <Davidgfhgfh> fuck sorry
[04:56] <christan> Hey There, I'm Having Trouble With My USB Speakers and Hearing Sound. It Shows That It's Playing But I Dont Hear Anything.
[04:56] <kindofabuzz> i mean SaintYossarian
[04:56] <tritium> !language | Davidgfhgfh
[04:56] <SaintYossarian> kindofabuzz: Sorry, it was actually marginally related to my question.  Heh.
[04:56] <crimsun> christan: install pavucontrol and use it to migrate the stream to your USB speakers
[04:56] <Mez> christan, from a console, type alsamixer, and see whether your levels are up...
[04:57] <Mez> oh... usb speakers
[04:57] <tritium> Mez: now we'll never know for sure
[04:57] <christan> KK i'll try that, thanks =]
[04:57] <Davidgfhgfh> does anybody know what this means: /etx/unit.d/rc:317:sed:not found       init:unable to execute "/bin/sh" for rc-default:no such file or directory          init:rc default main process (6871) terminated with status 255
[04:58] <Davidgfhgfh> i am using wubi and windows xp does anybody know whay this mean does anybody know what this means: /etx/unit.d/rc:317:sed:not found init:unable to execute "/bin/sh" for rc-default:no such file or directory  init:rc default main process (6871) terminated with status 255
[04:58] <me> cek
[04:59] <rafkid> can anyone tell me why you would not pm someone on this channel - why is it not appropriate that is? most grateful for the protocol nudge
[04:59] <|thunder> hey all, how can I get exact manufacturer, vendor and device ID codes out of my hardware ? im trying with lshw, but it tells me the name, i need corrosponding codes. any ideas ?  googles not much help
[05:00] <genii> Davidgfhgfh: Does command:    apt-cache policy sed                 show that it is installed? (*** beside one of the versions)
[05:00] <mooja> |thunder: lspci
[05:00] <Lofde_> Hello
[05:00] <Davidgfhgfh> genii: i am using wubi and have no clue what that apt-cache means i am new to ubuntu just installed wubi about 20 minutes ago
[05:01] <|thunder> mooja; thanks, ill have a look
[05:01] <Xonara> Umm, what exactly do people mean when they say to "build" a file?
[05:02] <genii> Davidgfhgfh: Open application called Terminal   and type in the command. It will list available versions of the program called "sed" and show 3 asterisks beside one of those if it is installed. If not installed, no 3 asterisks
[05:02] <Lofde_> Hi everyone, I am a ubuntu 8.04 user, and am trying to upgrade to 8.10  everything seems to be going good, just the connection is very slow, its downloading these packages at like 20k or less .. and i have a 6 mbit DSL connection anyone know what may be up with the repos?
[05:02] <Lofde_> Xonara:  compile a program?
[05:02] <|thunder> mooja; lspci -nn, that did it, allmybaserbelong2you   :)
[05:02] <|thunder> mooja; thanks a million.
[05:02] <mooja> |thunder: np :)
[05:03] <genii> Davidgfhgfh: The most likely thing is that the program "sed" is not yet installed on your system
[05:03] <ahtmly2k> sorry i need another help... i've recently did some uninstalling few packages... but i feel that they leave a lot of junk... because my harddisk is ext3 is still full... and i store my private documents on my ntfs how can i make sure that the uninstalled packages are really gone and have no junks left behind?
[05:03] <Davidgfhgfh> genii: i press enter to load ubuntu from the bootloader and it goes to a screen where it has the logo and loading bar then, after awhile of it frozen in the quarter mark that shows up about 100 times then the second and third messeges i posted comes up
[05:03] <Xonara> Yeah
[05:03] <tarelerulz> I have black ipod nano 8gb and gtkpod works great for managing videos and song ,but I can't manage my phones on it.  does anyone have the same thing ? if  so what do you use ?
[05:03] <tritium> genii: unlikely, as ubuntu-minimal depends on it
[05:03] <genii> Davidgfhgfh: Ah, so not even booting fully then
[05:03] <eTiger13> whats the correct way to set server timezone?
[05:04] <Davidgfhgfh> genii: yes
[05:04] <Lofde_> ahtmly2k:  hey there is a great program to see where the most of your disk useage is going to
[05:04] <Davidgfhgfh> genii: you need my specs
[05:04] <Lofde_> ahtmly2k:  it will show it in a graph that way you can narrow down and find out where the most space is going to
[05:04] <rafkid> tritium: do tell why is it inappropriate to pm on this channel please?
[05:04] <tritium> rafkid: it's just common courtesy/etiquette
[05:04] <Mooninaut> Can anyone think of a reason why GRUB would try to boot from sda1 when I explicitely told it to look in sdb1?
[05:04] <tritium> !pm | rafkid
[05:05] <Lofde_> ahtmly2k:  program is called the Disk Usage Analyzer
[05:05] <genii> tritium: His error msg said something like : /etc/unit.d/rc:317:sed:not found      so I looked there first
[05:05]  * the_silent wb alll
[05:05] <genii> Davidgfhgfh: No
[05:05] <rafkid> tritium: where are the rules tho - on other irc chans I use it is derigeour to do so? where can i find out the "common courtesy" rules you speak of?
[05:05] <kindofabuzz> why do i only receive update notifications when i run an atp-get update?
[05:06] <tritium> !conduct | rafkid
[05:06] <genii> Davidgfhgfh: Are you using some raid system on your windows machine?
[05:06] <rafkid> tritium: thank you
[05:06] <acrousey> hi, my screen is flickering when I get to the login screen (I was playing around with what the video card was). How am I able to change it back? I forgot the button I need to push. F#_, right?
[05:06] <Davidgfhgfh> genii: i dont know is there a way to tell
[05:06] <minerale> how can I tell if the physical ethernet cord is plugged to the socket (static ip) ?
[05:06] <kindofabuzz> look at it?
[05:06] <christan> okay so i checked my levels and they are up and it is directed crimsun
[05:07] <minerale> kindofabuzz: i'm not at the machine
[05:07] <SaS> minerale: led's on ethernet card ?
[05:07] <tritium> minerale: visual inspection?
[05:07] <ericzhang> 大家好啊
[05:07] <minerale> i'm connected to it via remote KVM
[05:07] <genii> minerale: Try to ping the gateway
[05:07] <christan> So i directed everything to my USB speakers and the levles are up and i can hear a sound like it's "Starting Up" when i plug them in but i can't hear music when it says it's playing still...
[05:07] <SaS> wow @ chinese letters ;x
[05:07] <minerale> will ifconfig tell me if the wire is attached?
[05:08] <ericzhang> ??没人理我？
[05:08] <SaS> minerale: that should tell you if the card is recognized
[05:08] <Davidgfhgfh> genii: is there a way to rell if i am using raid i dont know what raid is
[05:08] <genii> Davidgfhgfh: Probably, but offhand I forgoet most of what I knew about windows
[05:08] <SaS> minerale: and if it is, it will show the ip address associated with the card (eth#)
[05:08] <rafkid> tritium: i guessed as much - it is not so much "common courtesy" as a rule of your own - thank you for the lesson
[05:09] <christan> So i directed everything to my USB speakers and the levels are up and i can hear a sound like it's "Starting Up" when i plug them in but i can't hear music when it says it's playing still...
[05:09] <genii> Davidgfhgfh: Raid is when you are storing data across several drives as if they are  single drive. Wubi hates it
[05:09] <tritium> rafkid: no, it's not a rule of my own.
[05:10] <tritium> ubottu: tell rafkid about pm
[05:10] <rafkid> tritium: as you wish
[05:10] <Davidgfhgfh> genii: i only have one harddrive in my computer but i do have a ext harddrive
[05:10] <tritium> rafkid: cool it
[05:10] <genii> Davidgfhgfh: OK, odds are no raid set up then
[05:11] <acrousey> hi, my screen is flickering when I get to the login screen (I was playing around with what the video card was). How am I able to change it back? I forgot the button I need to push. F#_, right?
[05:11] <SaS> Davidgfhgfh: did you try removing the ext hd ?
[05:11] <Davidgfhgfh> genii: should i unplug that
[05:11] <genii> Davidgfhgfh: Probably not
[05:11] <Davidgfhgfh> sas and genii: before i go to bed tonight ill try it without ext harddrive..... is there anything else that could possibly be causing this problem
[05:12] <SaS> acrousey: you mean ctrl+alt+f1 for a console ?
[05:12] <acrousey> yeah
[05:12] <SaS> ;]
[05:13] <acrousey> SaS: thanks! Would you happen to know a way to set it to previous settings, or am i kind of screwed there?
[05:13] <genii> Davidgfhgfh: Was it an external drive you are attempting install onto?
[05:13] <Davidgfhgfh> genii: no
[05:13] <SaS> acrousey: what was the setting you changed?
[05:13] <acrousey> video card
[05:14] <mooja> acrousey: you might have to edit your X11 config file from the console
[05:14] <Killer--Tux> hello
[05:14] <rafkid> tritium: cool what? I am simply trying to get some help from these like minded people?
[05:14] <Killer--Tux> how do i add music to my ipod
[05:14] <acrousey> SaS: I have an integrated graphics card, so, yeah......
[05:15] <acrousey> mooja: just delete vid card info you think?
[05:15] <pryorda> How do I kill X
[05:15] <FFEMTcJ> Jordan_U: would it be possible somehow to do two executes? gnome-terminal -e "ssh user@domain.com" "command 2"?
[05:15] <SaS> acrousey: as mooja said you probably will have to edit your X11 conf file, if it worked before, you can change the "settings" back ... try running the live version and comparing the x11 conf files
[05:15] <pryorda> i was using xdm
[05:15] <pryorda> stopped it and i wanna stop X cause its still running
[05:15] <tritium> rafkid: you know exactly what
[05:16] <DieselHopper> Can anyone help me with SMTP?
[05:16] <mooja> acrousey:  I would try renaming your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file to something like /etc/X11/xorg2.conf and then trying to restart your X
[05:16] <Jordan_U> FFEMTcJ: Yes, do you want the second command to be run on the remote machine or the local machine?
[05:16] <FFEMTcJ> remote
[05:17] <mooja> acrousey: when X server won't "see" the config file it will run with the safest possible settings
[05:17] <DieselHopper> I'm sure someone can help me lol
[05:17] <Templar_Xion> !ask
[05:17] <DieselHopper> So..basically, don't ask.
[05:17] <Lofde_> anyone know why the repo's ubuntu 8.04 is using to upgrade to 8.10 is downloading soooo slow?
[05:17] <Templar_Xion> Don't ask to ask, just ask your question, verbosely.
[05:17] <FFEMTcJ> DieselHopper: ask your specific question
[05:17] <rafkid> tritium: i don't actually - I do know you appear to be abusing your position here when I am just trying to get some help - you have been rude and threatening so far when I a new to this environment and have not been rude to anyone
[05:17] <Templar_Xion> Like Lofde_ did.
[05:18] <DieselHopper> I'm not going to type my question unless I know someone can help me with it :P
[05:18] <mooja> acrousey: so basically do "sudo mv /etc/X11/xconf.conf /etc/X11/xconf2.conf" an dthen restart the X11
[05:18] <Jordan_U> FFEMTcJ: Just add the command as the last parameter to ssh, ie: gnome-terminal -e "ssh whoever@wherever command"
[05:18] <Templar_Xion> DieselHopper: ...
[05:18] <FFEMTcJ> ok.. thanks
[05:18] <Templar_Xion> !ask DieselHopper
[05:18] <biouser_> what should the basic /etc/network/interfaces look like for an ath0 wireless ?
[05:18] <Templar_Xion> :< burn
[05:18] <DieselHopper> Alright, I'll ask it.
[05:18] <pryorda> i can kill X
[05:18] <pryorda> but its running
[05:18] <pryorda> I want to get back to console
[05:18] <pryorda> and its saying f you
[05:18] <genius> hell! my sistem works as snail. it stops like it's 286 !
[05:18] <FloodBot3> pryorda: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[05:19] <SaS> pryorda: ctrl+alt+f1 ?
[05:19] <genius> its a problem with core qatdro?
[05:19] <FFEMTcJ> Jordan_U: that actually didnt work. :-(
[05:19] <Lofde_> I really wonder why this is so slow.. i am on a fast dsl connection and i am getting laughable dialup or isdn speeds
[05:19] <^paradox^> im in need of a hand setting up sharing of a printer over a network. itll be shared between a ubuntu and a vista pc. we have cable internet, vonage phone service and the router is a vonage one with 4 ethernet ports, 2 phone ports. was hoping someone could help me finish up. heres my previous conversation for referrence http://rafb.net/p/ynwmR762.html
[05:19] <pryorda> SaS: its a vm
[05:19] <FFEMTcJ> im trying to have it automatically open screen -x
[05:19] <Jordan_U> FFEMTcJ: What happened?
[05:19] <FFEMTcJ> the term window popped up and then died
[05:20] <^paradox^> ive looked at the man pages dont make a lot of sense to me. sorry im still not great yet at the techincal stuff
[05:20] <mooja> pryorda: sudo killall X
[05:20] <DieselHopper> I've connected to a host using telnet and it opens up a SMTP console, and you know, I follow the procedure, HELO blah, MAIL FROM:<blah>, RCTP TO:<blah> and I connect just fine. But the challenge is for me to find a specified deamon running on the server. So, I was wondering if there is a command that can show running applications of the host while connected.
[05:20] <sekyourbox> I just experienced a really long load time when booting ubuntu. any ideas on how to troubleshoot this issue?
[05:20] <Lofde_> sekyourbox: boot log?
[05:20] <Davidgfhgfh> does anybody know what this means: /etx/unit.d/rc:317:sed:not found init:unable to execute "/bin/sh" for rc-default:no such file or directory  init:rc default main process (6871) terminated with status 255
[05:20] <pryorda> mooja: did

[05:22] <pryorda> Seriously
[05:22] <mooja> hey, I'm new to linux. What's a good firewall software for linux?
[05:22] <Lofde_> sekyourbox:  /var/log/boot ?
[05:22] <pryorda> mooja: iptables
[05:22] <darkbishop> mooja: use iptables
[05:22] <pryorda> SOB I cannot get X killed
[05:22] <darkbishop> !medibuntu
[05:22] <FFEMTcJ> Jordan_U: any idea?
[05:22] <Lofde_> mooja:  fwbuilder
[05:22] <mooja> is there a more friendly gui version of iptables?
[05:22] <DieselHopper> Shall I ask again lol?
[05:23] <sekyourbox> (Nothing has been logged yet.)
[05:23] <Jordan_U> FFEMTcJ: Did you have a screen session running already? screen -x will fail if there are no screens to attatch
[05:23] <FFEMTcJ> yes..
[05:23] <mooja> Lofde_: ty, i will check it out
[05:23] <FFEMTcJ> its runnin
[05:23] <FFEMTcJ> g
[05:23] <mooja> pryorda: try sudo killall Xorg
[05:24] <pryorda> did
[05:24] <ludwig__> hey all.. any body know about ibex?  is it stable enough to use?
[05:24] <Jordan_U> ludwig__: #ubuntu+1 for Intrepid
[05:24] <Lofde_> ludwig__:  i am upgrading right now
[05:24] <mooja> pryorda: i'm out of ideas ><
[05:25] <Lofde_> the repos are going sorta slow that are downloading the 1,400 updates
[05:25] <the_silent> wew
[05:25] <ludwig__> oh yah, so ubuntu+1 is now stable enough to use?
[05:25] <the_silent> so sloly
[05:25] <SaS> what is the first thing I should do to secure my fresh ubuntu install from being 'hacked'
[05:25] <softnet> alguien habla español
[05:25] <tritium> SaS: sit back and relax
[05:25] <tritium> !es | softnet
[05:25] <mooja> SaS: sudo apt-get upgrade
[05:25] <pryorda> mooja: its okay im very familar with *nix and ts funny
[05:25] <SaS> tritium: lol ;] pretty secure then?
[05:26] <tritium> SaS: yes.  No open ports by default.
[05:26] <Templar_Xion> SaS: Unplug the ethernet. Guarenteed unhackable.
[05:26] <ziesemer_> Can someone please help me get my screen resolution set properly in Hardy Heron?  I have a CRT.  Works great under Windows at 1280x1024 @ 70 Hz.  Ubuntu is seemingly only allowing 60.  I've read dozens of pages / faqs about xorg.conf, tried inserting various modelines, etc.  No matter what I do, the "Screen Resolution" dialog always shows 1280x1024, 60 Hz.
[05:26] <Lofde_> ludwig__:  its still alpha (supposed to go beta today according to the time line) while it isnt yet released... i am sure its more stable than any operating system out of redmond WA :)
[05:26] <Jordan_U> ludwig__: No, it's not
[05:26] <RudyValencia> Can someone tell me what the "hardy" APT repository contains?
[05:26] <ludwig__> playa hata
[05:26] <ludwig__> lol
[05:26] <RudyValencia> Is it original release packages?
[05:26] <genii> !repos | RudyValencia
[05:26] <ludwig__> hate bill, hate bill, hate hate
[05:27] <Lofde_> those new commercials are so stupid
[05:27] <SaS> tritium & Templar_Xion ; how about virus' , i hadn't had a virus problem on windows for years, i know there is like a 1:10000 virus ration linux:windows
[05:27] <ludwig__> yeah, i now hate seinfeld
[05:27] <FFEMTcJ> Jordan_U: no ideas?
[05:27] <Jordan_U> ludwig__: This is a support channel, #ubuntu-offtopic for random chatter
[05:27] <phuzion> I wnat to SCP a file to a remote machine, but use an SSH key to authenticate instead of a password.  I already have the key generated, I just need to know the arguments for SCP to get it to use the key.  Anyone know what the proper arguments would be?
[05:28] <Lofde_> i want to be in a commercial for ubuntu... have a bunch of youtubers on webcams saying "im a Ubuntu"
[05:28] <tritium> SaS: not really a concern, unless your machine is, say, an email server to Windows clients.
[05:28] <darkbishop> !medibuntu
[05:28] <Jordan_U> FFEMTcJ: Try "ping google.com" instead and see if that runs
[05:28] <ludwig__> okok, seriously, Ibex is not stable enough then.. hope to hear some reports/status reports on beta release
[05:29] <ludwig__> hate, hate, hate peace
[05:29] <ziesemer_> Anyone here knowledable about HorizSync, VertRefresh, xorg.conf, etc.?
[05:30] <Lofde_> ziesemer_:  what about it ?
[05:30] <SaS> tritium: thnx again for advice; I am somewhat new to linux, i have taken short classes on linux which tought very basic commands so i basically know nothing about linux lol
[05:30] <Lofde_> it depends on what your monitor supports, and which you would like to use
[05:30] <FFEMTcJ> Jordan_U: yes.. but im not sure if it was from the server or my local because the screen that says you have logged in never appeared
[05:30] <ziesemer_> Lofde_, as shown above, I'm trying to get my CRT to 1280x1024 @ 75.
[05:30] <Lofde_> normally monitors default to 60hz but it depends on your resolution
[05:30] <tritium> SaS: sure.  Welcome, and good luck.  (And good night!)
[05:30] <^paradox^> im in need of a hand setting up sharing of a printer over a network. itll be shared between a ubuntu and a vista pc. we have cable internet, vonage phone service and the router is a vonage one with 4 ethernet ports, 2 phone ports. was hoping someone could help me finish up. heres my previous conversation for referrence http://rafb.net/p/ynwmR762.html
[05:30] <Lofde_> does your monitor support that res?
[05:30] <ziesemer_> Yes.  Works great under Windows at it.
[05:30] <Lofde_> hold on a sec
[05:31] <Lofde_> theres a good program for linux to change resolutions
[05:31] <ziesemer_> I've tried various things in /etc/X11/xorg.conf .
[05:31] <^paradox^> medibuntu
[05:31] <Jordan_U> FFEMTcJ: That "screen" is the Message Of The Day ( MOTD ) and it only shows up when you start a login shell, you are starting ping, not a login shell
[05:31] <Lofde_> do you have System, Preferences, Screen Resolution ?
[05:31] <ziesemer_> But after Ctrl+Alt+Backspace, things seem to always revert.  Going to "System" / "Screen Resolutions" always shows 1280x1024 @ 60.
[05:32] <ziesemer_> Yes, there.
[05:32] <Jordan_U> FFEMTcJ: It's odd that screen -x isn't working though
[05:32] <Akazawa> hey guys, my computer keeps beeping randomly but I don't see any error messages pop up or anything. is there a way to check for error messages via the terminal?
[05:32] <FFEMTcJ> i set it to gnome-terminal -e "ssh user@domain.com ping google.com" and it pinged google..
[05:32] <FFEMTcJ> but i dont know if it was before or after login
[05:33] <droopsta915> Hello, what do i need to install rar file?
[05:33] <Lofde_> droopsta915:  rar files need to be extracted like a .zip
[05:33] <Davidgfhgfh> does anybody know what this means: /etx/unit.d/rc:317:sed:not found init:unable to execute "/bin/sh" for rc-default:no such file or directory  init:rc default main process (6871) terminated with status 255
[05:33] <SaS> droopsta915: rar files are archive files or compressed files, like zip
[05:33] <droopsta915> just xtract, cool, thanx
[05:33] <biouser_> http://paste.ubuntu.com/50721/
[05:33] <ziesemer_> Lofde_, is it possible that the "Screen Resolution" dialog just isn't reflecting the actual settings?
[05:34] <ryan__> I just installed virtualbox with windows xp; however, I get no internet connection.  Please help.
[05:34] <Jordan_U> FFEMTcJ: It was almost certainly after login
[05:34] <biouser_> someone can probably help me with my wireless fairly easily and make me very happy
[05:34] <Lofde_> ziesemer_:  id say its probably showing whats actually set
[05:34] <biouser_> I pasted some ouput in that file there
[05:35] <biouser_> I have ar5212 atheros that hardy thinks has proprietary drivers that aren't seeming to work... I used to have the wireless working on an old kernel+network manager but then newer kernels weren't working but now I've upgraded to hardy
[05:35] <Lofde_> Akazawa:  beeping randomly ?
[05:35] <droopsta915> i tryed extracting a rar file but said archive type not supported.
[05:35] <biouser_> anyone got a clue how I can get my wireless working?
[05:35] <ziesemer_> So I've used http://www.sh.nu/nvidia/gtf.php, for example.  It gives me a modeline, which I pasted in to Section "Monitor".
[05:35] <Akazawa> Lofde_: yes, as if it is getting an error every now and then
[05:36] <ziesemer_> Do I need to still add HorizSync, VertRefresh, etc.?
[05:36] <Lofde_> droopsta915:  RAR isnt supported by archive roller ... theres a program that will freely unrar .rar files in ubuntu avaible from apt-get
[05:36] <Lofde_> 1 second
[05:36] <Akazawa> I'm downloading a very large amount of files right nwo and I'm wonderign if wget is having errors
[05:36] <Jordan_U> FFEMTcJ: Try changing the preferences in gnome-terminal to keep the terminal open after the command exits, then you will be able to see the error message
[05:36] <droopsta915> anyone no the apt-get to open rar files?
[05:36] <Akazawa> since that is the only thing going on on that computer
[05:37] <Jordan_U> !rar | droopsta915
[05:37] <Akazawa> droopsta915: you don;t install rar files, you uncompress or extract them
[05:37] <Lofde_> droopsta915:  http://www.ubuntux.org/how-to-install-rar-archiver-rar
[05:38] <WtFoVeR> :p
[05:38] <FFEMTcJ> Jordan_U: "Must be connected to a terminal."
[05:38] <darkbishop> !rar
[05:38] <^paradox^> im in need of a hand setting up sharing of a printer over a network. itll be shared between a ubuntu and a vista pc. we have cable internet, vonage phone service and the router is a vonage one with 4 ethernet ports, 2 phone ports. was hoping someone could help me finish up. heres my previous conversation for referrence http://rafb.net/p/ynwmR762.html
[05:38] <Akazawa> droopsta915: try sudo apt-get install unrar
[05:39] <Jordan_U> FFEMTcJ: Ahh, I guess screen won't work as a stand alone command
[05:39] <speener> how's it goin?
[05:39] <FFEMTcJ> Jordan_U: it doesnt appear to be connecting first for some reason.. is there a way to put a pause in there before the second command?
[05:39] <speener> anyone from houston?
[05:39] <Akazawa> does anyone know how where error messages are stored?
[05:39] <Jordan_U> FFEMTcJ: Why do you think that it's not connecting first?
[05:40] <Akazawa> like the system and application error messages log files or whatever
[05:40] <FFEMTcJ> no idea..
[05:40] <Jordan_U> FFEMTcJ: I seriously doubt that is happening
[05:40] <malikul> hey guys I need your help with a python script I am running.  have a background python script running from init.d. The script takes in parameters and then executes a commandline program. System is debian based. I would like the program to launch the second program in its own environment. As it a completely seperate process. I am using os.execvp but i keep getting errors. command is as follows... os.execvp( 'sudo', 'sudo', 'program',
[05:40] <malikul>  '-s', '-f', 'config.file') is that the correct format? I am getting all sorts of errors...also would you recommend using a different api instead of os.execvp? I have read the doc's and call popen don't seem to fit the bill.
[05:40] <Lofde_> I have the Wireless Connection Manager 1.10 for connecting and finding wireless networks easily, but it doesnt auto connect on boot, anyone know how to make it
[05:40] <Awsoonn> how can I use voice / video chat with empathy?
[05:40] <FFEMTcJ> Jordan_U: if I take the screen -x part out, it connects.. so it seems like the second command is either overruling or coming to fast or something for the first command
[05:42] <Jordan_U> FFEMTcJ: If you don't have a command as the last parameter then it starts bash, if you do it starts the command you give instead. Because the command you give exits immediately the ssh session closes
[05:42] <Jordan_U> FFEMTcJ: Same way that the session closes when bash exits normally
[05:42] <Akazawa> so my computer keeps making beeps of more then one frequency, does anyone have a clue how to check for errors? I don;t know where the error logs are stored can anyone give me a hand?
[05:42] <ubuntuuser11111> I messed up my desktop using window key + r ,and moved it a bit to the left, how do i fix it
[05:42] <FFEMTcJ> Jordan_U: so theres no way to make a pause between the ssh and the screen?
[05:43] <Jordan_U> FFEMTcJ: No, there is, it just won't change anything
[05:43] <ubuntuuser11111> I messed up my desktop using window key + r ,and moved it a bit to the left, how do i fix it
[05:43] <FFEMTcJ> Jordan_U: what is the way for the pause if you dont mind
[05:43] <^paradox^> Akazawa: i been here nearly 2hrs
[05:44] <legend2440> Akazawa: http://www.computerhope.com/beep.htm
[05:45] <darkbishop> ping
[05:45] <wariskampar> can anyone tell me which is the best for Ubuntu, Empathy or Pidgin
[05:46] <malikul> wariskampar: depends on pref really. I am personally inlove with pidgin
[05:46] <Akazawa> so basically all this beeping started AFTER I did the latest updates
[05:46] <wariskampar> next gnome release will use Empathy instead
[05:46] <Akazawa> the beeping happens while the computer is running, not durign boot legend2440
[05:46] <malikul> Akazawn: does the beeps start when you turn on the computer or when the os is booted fully
[05:46] <Lofde_> Akazawa:  laptop or desktop ?
[05:46] <wariskampar> is that mean, they will dump Pidgin
[05:47] <Akazawa> Lofde_: desktop
[05:47] <xtremox> irsii rulez
[05:47] <malikul> Akazawa: did you overclock or is your fan going loud or not at all?
[05:47] <Akazawa> malikul: neither
[05:47] <Lofde_> Akazawa:  what kind of desktop?
[05:47] <Lofde_> who makes it
[05:47] <malikul> Akazawa: also are the beeps coming from the speakers or from the mobo
[05:47] <darkbishop> Akazawa: maybe its just some application that u run?... try killing ur X and c if its keep beeping
[05:47] <Akazawa> from the mobo
[05:47] <FFEMTcJ> Jordan_U: what is the way to create a pause please?
[05:48] <Akazawa> there are no speakers
[05:48] <kindofabuzz> explanation of the FF 3.03beta: http://groups.google.com/group/mozilla.dev.planning/browse_thread/thread/e047739c7e3345f0/67d18ecf25844dd9?show_docid=67d18ecf25844dd9&pli=1
[05:48] <Akazawa> I only use the terminal on it because I only ssh into it
[05:48] <malikul> Akazawa: I have had a case befoe where when sound is trying to play it will try to play over the system speaker. that could be your problem
[05:48] <xtremox> ff3 update is not storage password T_T
[05:49] <malikul> Akazawa: which would be really odd and strange if that was the case
[05:49] <Akazawa> this is my computer
[05:49] <Akazawa> http://reviews.cnet.com/soho-servers/dell-poweredge-600sc/4505-3125_7-30633173.html
[05:49] <malikul> Akazawa: sounds to me more like overheating beeps if you ask me
[05:49] <^paradox^> im in need of a hand setting up sharing of a printer over a network. itll be shared between a ubuntu and a vista pc. we have cable internet, vonage phone service and the router is a vonage one with 4 ethernet ports, 2 phone ports. was hoping someone could help me finish up. heres my previous conversation for referrence http://rafb.net/p/ynwmR762.html
[05:49] <Akazawa> malikul: I don;t play sound on this computer
[05:49] <ASrock> i installed windows xp on my 250gb hard drive which is plugged into SATA1 and ubuntu on my 300Gb hard drive which is plugged into SATA0...the grub loader didnt detect windows xp how do i add it?
[05:50] <Akazawa> how do I check if it is overheating via the terminal?
[05:50] <biouser_> how do I find my wireless-essid?
[05:51] <Akazawa> in total my cpu is only in use by 3%
[05:51] <Akazawa> so I doubt it is overheating
[05:51] <malikul> Akazawa: I am not sure. Could try calling dell. CPU % shouldn't make a difference.
[05:51] <malikul> Akazawa: you have xeon processors right?
[05:51] <Akazawa> I'm doing a shit load of hard drive and wireless stuff right now though
[05:51] <Akazawa> malikul: no, pentium 4
[05:52] <Lofde_> Akazawa:  sometimes a dell can make beeps on start if its got some issues, but they shouldnt keep going into the computers operation
[05:52] <^paradox^> i really need a hand. got a shitload of files to print
[05:52] <malikul> Akazawa: the p4 should throttle down when overheating: is the system getting slower
[05:52] <Akazawa> Lofde_: this computer has been on for months
[05:52] <Lofde_> is it a Percision or Optiplex ?
[05:52] <Akazawa> malikul: well the gui is slow right now, yes
[05:53] <malikul> Akazawa: sounds to me like overheating. is your fan running high or not at all. dells fans do break after a few years
[05:53] <Akazawa> malikul: I just installed a new fan, it if running fine
[05:53] <darkbishop> Akazawa:do this bep happen when u running any application in gui?
[05:54] <Akazawa> darkbishop: no, I don;t run apps in the gui
[05:54] <malikul> Akazawa: run xgears and see what frams you are getting
[05:54] <malikul> let it run a little
[05:54] <Akazawa> the only things going on right now are the screensaver, 10 instances of wget and ssh
[05:55] <Lofde_> Akazawa:  lol go to init 1 and see if it still beeps heh
[05:55] <darkbishop> Akazawa: have u try killing your gui and run fullie on text base...kill ur X...
[05:55] <Akazawa> darkbishop: when I try to kill X it just startzs it back up
[05:55] <ziesemer_> OK, I actually got my xorg.conf "broken" enough once that when X restarted, it presented me with this wonderful GUI full of monitor selections, etc.  Any clue how to get that back again??
[05:55] <Akazawa> darkbishop: how do I stop X
[05:56] <darkbishop> akazawa: if you using ubuntu then u can issue this command to kill ur X "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[05:56] <Lofde_> ziesemer_:  you could run the X.org configuration tool ?
[05:56] <ziesemer_> Which is?
[05:56] <darkbishop> Akazawa: oh... to start it back you just change the command to start
[05:56] <ziesemer_> (I didn't see it listed in any of the 12+ FAQs I read about xorg.conf...)
[05:57] <LinuxWizard_> can anyone help with live flash os's?
[05:57] <^paradox^> im in need of a hand setting up sharing of a printer over a network. itll be shared between a ubuntu and a vista pc. we have cable internet, vonage phone service and the router is a vonage one with 4 ethernet ports, 2 phone ports. was hoping someone could help me finish up. heres my previous conversation for referrence http://rafb.net/p/ynwmR762.html
[05:58] <malikul> ziesemer_ do you have nvidia installed?
[05:58] <Lofde_> ziesemer_:  xorgcfg
[05:58] <malikul> if you have nvidia drivers their is another config program for that
[05:58] <biouser_> how do I find the make of my wireless adapter?
[05:58] <ziesemer_> Nope, no nvidia.
[05:58] <ziesemer_> And "xorgcfg" results in "command not found".
[05:59] <malikul> try sudo xorgcfg
[05:59] <biouser_> are all ar5212's the same?
[05:59] <ziesemer_> same.  should it be installed by default?
[05:59] <ziesemer_> Or do I need to apt-get it?
[05:59] <biouser_> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardwareSupportComponentsWirelessNetworkCardsNetgear
[05:59] <izinucs> ziesemer_, are you trying to install the nvidia driver?
[05:59] <ziesemer_> I don't have an nvidia graphics.
[05:59] <biouser_> i don't know what make of ar5212 I have...
[06:00] <ziesemer_> Just something built-in to the motherboard, and apparently Ubuntu is mostly working with it.
[06:00] <ziesemer_> Graphics work great at 1280x1024 @ 60hz.  I just want it at 70, like when I had it on Windows.
[06:01] <izinucs> ziesemer_, you can find out what it is from a terminal by typing "sudo lshw | less"  .... then using the arrow keys to scroll through the text to identify the board.
[06:01] <vogty> hello, can anybody help me with my hauppauge nova s2 hd tv card ?
[06:01] <biouser_> Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR5212/AR5213 Multiprotocol MAC/baseband processor (rev 01)
[06:01] <ziesemer_> shw ?
[06:02] <izinucs> ziesemer_, .... lshw... in caps (don't use caps) is LSHW
[06:02] <ziesemer_> Oh, looked like a pipe.  Thx for the clarification.
[06:02] <izinucs> ziesemer_, there was one there..   sudo lshw | less
[06:02] <Lofde_> ziesemer_:  sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[06:03] <^paradox^> im in need of a hand setting up sharing of a printer over a network. itll be shared between a ubuntu and a vista pc. we have cable internet, vonage phone service and the router is a vonage one with 4 ethernet ports, 2 phone ports. was hoping someone could help me finish up. heres my previous conversation for referrence http://rafb.net/p/ynwmR762.html
[06:03] <Lofde_> ziesemer_:  X -configure
[06:03] <vogty> kann mir einer mit meiner nova s2 hd karte helfen ?
[06:03] <ziesemer_> Lofde_, thx.
[06:03] <izinucs> !de | vogty
[06:04] <ziesemer_> izinucs, my display is "VGA compatible controller", 829456/GZ Integrated Graphics Controller, Intel Corp.
[06:04] <Lukas___> its posible to make some kind of installation really fast and small like Puppy Linux ??? (no server install takes 450mb minimal)
[06:05] <softnet> alguien habla español
[06:05] <Starnestommy> !es | softnet
[06:05] <Lofde_> Lukas___:  Dam* small linux ?
[06:05] <roger> The sound that plays at the login window before you actually login. How can i find the sound file that plays
[06:05] <ziesemer_> Lofde_, I tried dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg.  It configures my mouse, keyboard, and everything else, but does nothing or asks nothing about my screen.
[06:05] <izinucs> ziesemer_, that doesn't always work using the dpkg line.. I'll have ubottu give you a link to fixing resolution and getting the driver working properly.. there is a bug listed in the link about how to place the monitors horizontal and vertical refresh rates into xorg.conf.
[06:05] <Lofde_> it runs on a <50 MB flash drive
[06:05] <ziesemer_> It's also not the window I'm trying to get back again.
[06:06] <izinucs> !resolution | zies
[06:06] <izinucs> !resolution | ziesemer_
[06:06] <Lofde_> ziesemer_:  did you do   X -configure
[06:06] <Lukas___> Lofde: I want a really Ubuntu not a imitation like DSL,
[06:06] <Lukas___> its posible ?
[06:06] <ziesemer_> "sudo X-configure" also returns "command not found".
[06:07] <ziesemer_> err, space?
[06:07] <Lofde_> space
[06:07] <Lofde_> X    -configure
[06:07] <ziesemer_> k, looks like I have to kill X first.  Ctrl+Alt+Backspace is restart.  Quit?
[06:08] <ziesemer_> Thought it was "killx".
[06:08] <ahtmly2k> what is the swap good for...
[06:08] <ahtmly2k> ?
[06:08] <izinucs> ziesemer_, to restart x .... ctrl+alt+backspace.. or sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[06:09] <genii> ahtmly2k: Extending your RAM
[06:09] <ziesemer_> But X -configure is telling me that the server is already active.  Do I need to have "X dead" first?
[06:09] <ahtmly2k> yeah but its always 0%'
[06:09] <Lofde_> Lukas___:  Ubuntus minimum hardware requirements in my ubuntu book say 500 mb heh
[06:10] <Lukas___> Lofde: I know, I make the server install and takes that 450 - 500 aprox, what i want its really speed up like Puppy, I dont like Puppy, I prefer Ubuntu for his repos
[06:11] <ahtmly2k> i mean what good is a large swap when its never used...?
[06:11] <izinucs> ahtmly2k, how large is it.. 1 gig is plenty
[06:11] <brianski> am i the only one for whom flash is broken with the latest ff 3.0.3 update?
[06:11] <dystopia> hi i have a problem with my keyboard layout the whole right part of the keyboard is screwed, the key 'up' actually makes a screenshot, and page up/page down and the arrows dont work.. i'm on a thinkpad T61, it doesn't list my layout...
[06:11] <ahtmly2k> 5
[06:11] <ahtmly2k> too big/
[06:11] <ahtmly2k> ?
[06:11] <izinucs> yep
[06:11] <izinucs> 1gig
[06:12] <ahtmly2k> im on a 1.66ghz core2duo and a 2gb ram... is my swap resizable?
[06:13] <jlilly> would it be possible to run 2 raid 0's? One for linux, the other for windows?
[06:13] <izinucs> ahtmly2k, should be but you can't do it while it's mounted.. it's much easier with a live cd
[06:13] <ziesemer_> How do I kill X?  Ctrl+Alt+Backspace kills it, but it keeps restarting.  I'm assuming I need to do this to run "X -configure".
[06:13] <brianski> ahtmly2k: it's not the end of the world. you can certainly use gparted (apt-get install gparted) to resize your swap partition
[06:13] <brianski> ziesemer_: /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[06:14] <brianski> ziesemer_: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[06:14] <ziesemer_> Thanks!  (Why can't I find this on the Ubuntu Wiki, Google, etc.??)
[06:14] <jlilly> ziesemer_: because YOU haven't blogged about it yet :)
[06:14] <ahtmly2k> yes but i'd have to do it from a live cd right?
[06:14] <ziesemer_> Well, that's interesting.  I now appear to be at a "dead" console.
[06:15] <brianski> jlilly: what exactly do you mean? what sort of controller? hardware? fakeraid? software? both installations on the same logical disk or on two seperate logical disks?
[06:15] <jlilly> ziesemer_: perhaps try alt+f2?
[06:15] <ziesemer_> It echos all my text, but nothing happens.
[06:15] <ahtmly2k> i mean i got gparted... but it wont resiza while its mounted... duh
[06:15] <ziesemer_> Yep, F2 did it.
[06:15] <ziesemer_> What _was_ I seeing?
[06:15] <jlilly> brianski: 4 HDD's using a raid controller on the motherboard.
[06:15] <jlilly> ziesemer_: no clue, but alt+f2 takes you to another tty
[06:15] <izinucs> ahtmly2k, like I said .. you can't resize anything while it's mounted. There's probably a way to unmount it.. but I'm not sure how.
[06:15] <ahtmly2k> ehmn... i'm desperate for an extra space for americas army
[06:15] <brianski> ziesemer_: you were seeing tty7, which had nothing on it once X was killed
[06:15] <jlilly> brianski: just curious if grub could pass off to raid.
[06:16] <izinucs> ctrl + alt + F2 for a different tty
[06:16] <jlilly> I would assume so, but I've also never build a raided machine.
[06:16] <brianski> jlilly: the answer is "it depends" but probably
[06:16]  * jlilly nods.
[06:16] <jlilly> cool. thx.
[06:16] <brianski> jlilly: i suggest srtongly you go for hardware raid
[06:16] <^paradox^> im in need of a hand setting up sharing of a printer over a network. itll be shared between a ubuntu and a vista pc. we have cable internet, vonage phone service and the router is a vonage one with 4 ethernet ports, 2 phone ports. was hoping someone could help me finish up. heres my previous conversation for referrence http://rafb.net/p/ynwmR762.html
[06:16] <ziesemer_> jlilly, was that an invite to blog about this once I get it figured out?  It honestly doesn't exist anywhere else yet??
[06:16] <jlilly> brianski: hardware as in a raid card or will the mobo due?
[06:16] <brianski> that way you can have two logical disks (that appear to the hardware as /dev/sda and /dev/sdb) made out of 2 of your physical disks each
[06:17] <jlilly> ziesemer_: it was an invitation. There's never too much information out there.
[06:17] <dystopia> help i need to define my thinkpad layout to my hardy heron gnome how do i do this???
[06:17] <brianski> jlilly: the "raid" on motherboards isn't hardware raid. you can get it to work, but it's more complicated and less ideal in terms of performance and data security
[06:17] <ziesemer_> OK, I finally got "X -config" to just run.  Though I'm still looking for something else.
[06:17] <^paradox^> can someone give me a hand? i got a lot of work to do
[06:17] <ziesemer_> At one point, I had a console-type GUI pop-up with a list of monitor choices, etc.
[06:17] <jlilly> yea... I don't know that I'll even be able to run linux on the compy I'll be building. Not sure if there's support for the gfx cards
[06:18] <jlilly> and there's definitely not room enough for a raid card in the form factor case I'll be getting.
[06:18] <jlilly> Suppose I'll burn that bridge when I get there :)
[06:18] <izinucs> ^paradox^, not sure how to do what your asking.. and if nobody here knows you might try #linux
[06:18] <Allan_Rhae> hello all
[06:18] <Allan_Rhae> :D
[06:18] <Allan_Rhae> XD
[06:19] <^paradox^> izinucs: the printer is on my girlfriends PC
[06:19] <^paradox^> hers runs vista home
[06:19] <speener> i hate this
[06:19] <speener> why won't firefox show some sites
[06:19] <Lofde_> jlilly:  i used to use windows xp and  vista only because needed software for them, now that i have ubuntu with virtualbox, i love linux and never would look back at windows..
[06:19] <speener> like i can't load volkswagen.com
[06:19] <brianski> speener: did you just upgrade firefox?
[06:19] <^paradox^> id like to make it a shared printer
[06:19] <ahtmly2k> man there are a lot of junk on my filesystem... i cant tell the difference from useless file and important files...
[06:19] <speener> brianski: yep
[06:20] <brianski> speener: is that when the prob started?
[06:20] <brianski> b/c i'm having no flash joy since the upgrade
[06:20] <Baber_> hi
[06:20] <kindofabuzz> speener, try clearing your cache
[06:20] <izinucs> ^paradox^, arg..  you have to share it first on vista.. then attach the linux machine to it.  like I said .. I don't know  how to do that.  I use networked printers..
[06:20] <speener> brianski: well not really, i've had some problems with other sites...
[06:20] <speener> but not this one
[06:20] <kindofabuzz> speener, clear your cache and delete the cookies you have for the problem sites
[06:20] <^paradox^> someone who does?
[06:20] <brianski> ^paradox^: i suggest hooking the printer up to the ubuntu machine. windows' printer sharing is notoriously bad
[06:21] <brianski> speener: 'ang on, let mecheck
[06:21] <Baber> is this true that linux can recover floppy disks that are unusable in windows?
[06:21] <kindofabuzz> linux can do anything! lol jk, i dunno
[06:21] <jlilly> Lofde_: that's cool. I need windows to play Warhammer ;)
[06:21] <wariskampar> can anyone help me with F-Spot
[06:21] <izinucs> wariskampar, what's up
[06:22] <Allan_Rhae> yeah maybe because it has an advance encryption algorithm
[06:22] <Allan_Rhae> than windows
[06:22] <speener> nice
[06:22] <speener> it worked
[06:22] <speener> thanx kindofabuzz
[06:22] <wariskampar> when try to export to PICASA (within  F-Spot), F-Spot will be terminated
[06:23] <kindofabuzz> speener, np, for all your FF problems and needs, try forums.mozillazine.org, good community there
[06:23] <izinucs> wariskampar, you mean to the web hosting portion of picasa?
[06:23] <^paradox^> fraid i cant hook it up to my machine. she bought it so u know
[06:23] <Baber> how can i recover floppy disks in ubuntu?
[06:23] <wariskampar> Photo>Export>PicasaWeb..
[06:24] <yowshi> grrr something is jamming my sound driver and i cant figure out the problem
[06:24] <yowshi> i was just listening to something playing on vlc i close it and now i cant play anything else
[06:25] <wariskampar> when run F-Spot in Terminal, i got error message
[06:25] <wariskampar> Reloading
[06:25] <wariskampar> item changed
[06:25] <wariskampar> (f-spot:9190): GdkPixbuf-WARNING **: GdkPixbufLoader finalized without calling gdk_pixbuf_loader_close() - this is not allowed. You must explicitly end the data stream to the loader before dropping the last reference.
[06:25] <Daft_Punk> yowshi, if i dont use pulseaudio, that happens if i have a browser open like firefox (it locks my audio). also happens with amarok and VirualMachines etc (anything that could use sound)
[06:25] <FloodBot3> wariskampar: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[06:25] <izinucs> wariskampar, you probably have either your user name or password or both incorrect and the connection is terminating.  because it didn't connect fspot bombs.
[06:25] <brianski> speener: yeah i can't load vw.com either
[06:25] <brianski> but in my case all flash is broken
[06:25] <Baber> can any body help me?   how can i recover floppy disks in ubuntu?
[06:25] <yowshi> Daft_Punk: ooook so mind running me through getting pulse audio to replace alsa? i atempted this once before and it led to disaster and me uninstalling every reference to pulse audio
[06:26] <wariskampar> izinucs, what is fspot bomb
[06:26] <ahtmly2k> how do i safely clear cache in /var...?
[06:26] <ahtmly2k> is it possible?
[06:26] <brianski> ahtmly2k: which cache?
[06:26] <dystopia> how can i get my up/down key to work?
[06:26] <izinucs> wariskampar, just an expression.. substitute "fspot errors and closes."
[06:26] <brianski> i'm not psychic but i suspect you mean the package cache,in which case: sudo apt-get clean
[06:26] <speener> hmmm
[06:26] <Daft_Punk> yowshi, all i did was System>Preferences>Sound then change the first 3 on the devices tab to PulseAudio
[06:26] <speener> i'm thinkin of gettin a vw
[06:26] <speener> they're nice
[06:27] <Daft_Punk> !offtopic | speener
[06:27] <dystopia> !help keys thinkpad
[06:27] <wariskampar> izinucs, sorry but I don't understand your last message
[06:27] <dystopia> !stupid shit keyboard
[06:28] <Daft_Punk> !wtf | dystopia
[06:28] <brianski> gnaa ftw
[06:28] <yowshi> Daft_Punk: yeah but pulse audio isnt listed there any more
[06:28] <izinucs> wariskampar, if fspot can't connect to picassa-web it errors and closes
[06:28] <Munchy> O_O
[06:28] <roger> Hey has anyone tried using custom sounds in GDM. Its cutting mine short, any ideas ?
[06:28] <vampur> hello everyone
[06:29] <wariskampar> izinucs, ok..then what
[06:29] <brianski> roger: edit the audio in audacity and add some silence at the end?
[06:29] <brianski> it's a hack, but
[06:29] <midnightRmbler> i just got kicked out of 'off topic'
[06:29] <vampur> could any one help me in connecting the remote servers of websites
[06:29] <yowshi> Daft_Punk: since playing with it when i was using SL buggered my sound system on a repeated basis i went through system package manager and uninstalled every reference to pulse audio i could find and installed everything alsa
[06:29] <roger> hmm. It doesnt seem to matter how long the clip is though. even the short ones get cut off
[06:29] <izinucs> wariskampar, reload fspot.. check your user name and password for picasa web and try again.
[06:29] <brianski> !offtopic | midnightRmbler
[06:30] <speener> kindofabuzz: i have to delete the cache everytime i go to another link
[06:30] <dystopia> yeah ythen help
[06:30] <dystopia> geez
[06:30] <dystopia> all you do is play with some bot
[06:30] <XGas> briansky: instead of sudo apt-get clean, I recommend using: sudo apt-get autoclean, it clears out older version of packages that "isn't available" anymore, so if you want to do a re-install of some components, you don't have to re-download them.
[06:30] <wariskampar> already reload (do you mean restart) few times but problem persist
[06:30] <roger> whats really weird is that after i open konversation and test it in the gdm settings window it doesnt get cut off.
[06:30] <XGas> brainski
[06:30] <Daft_Punk> yowshi, when i use alsa, i notice issues with the sound locking, so if i was playing amarok music, then open youtube, i cant listen to youtube. i changed to pulseaudio (on the suggestion of someone else) and now i can listen to both at the same time, but i dont know why it doesnt work for u :( sorry
[06:30] <XGas> arght, typo.
[06:30] <kindofabuzz> speener, try posting your probelm on forums.mozillazine.org, alot of help there, you may need to create a new profile
[06:30] <dystopia> how the hell can someones keyboard layout be so screwed, that the up key makes a SCREEN SHOT i mean who the hell invented this
[06:30] <izinucs> wariskampar, reload fspot not restart ubuntu
[06:30] <yowshi> Daft_Punk: i didnt ever notice issues with alsa until hardy
[06:31] <yowshi> Daft_Punk: didnt notice issues with npviewer until hardy eithere
[06:31] <Daft_Punk> yowshi, intrepid is out at end of october
[06:31] <wariskampar> that's new for me:) how do I do that
[06:31] <brianski> speener: oh hmm i wonder if i'm in the same boat
[06:31] <yowshi> Daft_Punk: doesnt help me now does it
[06:31] <Daft_Punk> yowshi, sorry?
[06:31] <izinucs> wariskampar,
[06:31] <yowshi> Daft_Punk: spomething is jamming the sound drivers and i cant remember hpw to find out what
[06:31] <XGas> hmm, beta comes out the day after my birthday, awesome
[06:32] <Daft_Punk> yowshi, i had that problem with fiesty and i made a fix, dont know if it pertains to your issue
[06:32] <izinucs> wariskampar, Applications/Graphics/Fspot
[06:32] <yowshi> Daft_Punk: just interested in fixing my sound atm. i have a fix for my flash and npvier problems
[06:32] <izinucs> !audio | yowshi
[06:33] <dystopia> someone please help wih my keyboard layot
[06:33] <dystopia> !layout
[06:33] <dystopia> nonono thats not right
[06:33] <dystopia> !shortcuts
[06:33] <extor> which binaries are the most likely to be backdoored if a box is rooted, besides /bin/bash what are the most popular targets?
[06:33] <dystopia> my multimedia keys well you can my up key my multimedia key
[06:33] <dystopia> !keyboard
[06:34] <extor> which binaries are the most likely to be backdoored if a box is rooted, besides /bin/bash what are the most popular targets?
[06:34] <wariskampar> izinucs, seem like a Restart to me..anyway I just remember I changed my PICASA password yesterday
[06:34] <dystopia> and i thought i was repeatng myself
[06:34] <dystopia> /bin/login
[06:34] <brianski> hmm in my case flash is just straight up broken
[06:34] <dystopia> /usr/sbin/sshd
[06:34] <brianski> maybe if i reinstall the package
[06:34]  * izinucs slaps forhead with palm
[06:34] <dystopia> extor: those for example
[06:34] <wariskampar> izinucs, now how do I revert that change in F-Spot
[06:35] <wariskampar> i can not find any PICASA-related option
[06:35] <acrousey> hi, I'm getting kind of sick of this because I should be doing some homework right now, but I can't share between the computers seeing as how my other computer (the ubuntu one) has all the informatiion on the hard drive
[06:35] <extor> so I should checksum everything in /bin and /sbin---what else? the MBR? kernel?
[06:35] <brianski> hmm well that didn't work.progress
[06:35] <fr500_> acrousey: share how?
[06:35] <cherico> ne one use toonboom
[06:35] <dystopia> yeah rootkit easiest via kernel module
[06:36] <ahtmly2k> HOW can i delete items in /var/cache/apt/archives?
[06:36] <dystopia> you check for hardware trojans too
[06:36] <acrousey> whenever i try to share files between the machines, I get a "original item cannot be found" message from my mac, and the options to fix alias or delete it
[06:36] <dystopia> ahtmly2k: apt-get clean
[06:36] <fr500_> apt-get clean I think ahtmly2k
[06:36] <ahtmly2k> thank u
[06:36] <fr500_> or clean cache something alike
[06:36] <acrousey> fr500_: sorry, pushed enter too early
[06:36] <brianski> extor - try chkrootkit
[06:36] <izinucs> wariskampar, I just looked and can't find one either to reset the password.. you might google for it...
[06:36] <fr500_> acrousey: share with what protocol?
[06:37] <acrousey> smb
[06:37] <wariskampar> ok..will do that
[06:37] <fr500_> using sharing with samba-user share?
[06:37] <extor> brianski, isnt chrootkit just for the most basic and simple rootkits? Just like winders antivirus?
[06:37] <fr500_> ñile right click and share?
[06:37] <brianski> extor: if youhave something more complicated, it's highly unlikely that you (or anyone else) will be able to disinfect
[06:38] <brianski> the only way to recover from a hack is a fresh install from known good media
[06:38] <acrousey> fr400_: what?
[06:38] <brianski> (i hope you have good backups)
[06:38] <extor> brianski, but isn't it worth to try and detect a hack or a rootkit, like to at least try?
[06:38] <fr500_> acrousey: how did you setup samba?
[06:38] <brianski> extor: depends on how much you value your data
[06:39] <dystopia> !layout
[06:39] <dystopia> ok then ill figure it out myself
[06:39] <dystopia> pfff
[06:39] <brianski> if my home machine got hacked i might be satisfied if chkrootkit kicked out some crap, but i would never try that at work
[06:39] <acrousey> on the ubuntu computer, I chose the folders I wanted to share, and did share options
[06:39] <fr500_> I use sftp mostly it's more reliable and works over the internet acrousey but smb works fine
[06:39] <mint> i'm newbie  how tar file on ubuntu server?
[06:39] <fr500_> well I use plain old conf files so can't really help there
[06:39] <izinucs> dystopia, how many times are you going to ask ubottu for "layout".. just scroll up.. it's still there 3 or 4 times..
[06:40] <acrousey> fr500: how can i "fix alias"?
[06:40] <fr500_> acrousey: are you sharing aliases? that won't work
[06:40] <abchirk> mint tar -cvf new.tar <data>
[06:40] <fr500_> aliases for folders?
[06:40] <acrousey> i'm able to share with one of the folders
[06:40] <Lofde_> mint   tar -cvf file.tar path
[06:40] <acrousey> yeah
[06:40] <fallore> can someone help me navigate to transmission so that i can open a .torrent file with it?
[06:40] <fr500_> nah acrousey won't work
[06:40] <acrousey> but I can't connect to the other folder now
[06:40] <dystopia> izinucs: UNTIL it says something useful
[06:41] <acrousey> it did
[06:41] <Lofde_> fallore what do you need done? click .torrent, transmission opens
[06:41] <fr500_> simlinks work sometimes but share the actual folder that is better
[06:41] <izinucs> fallore, Applications/Internet/Transmission
[06:41] <dystopia> for examplr what package preferes/keyboard is int
[06:41] <acrousey> fr500_: how can I share the actual folder?
[06:41] <fallore> izinucs: i'm trying to open it with the firefox download manager thing so i have to navigate to it's app file to select it
[06:41] <dystopia> where does it derive its settings from
[06:41] <izinucs> dystopia, good luck
[06:41] <dystopia> i dont need your negative cricitism be mindful for some change
[06:41] <dystopia> goddamnit
[06:42] <fr500_> right click and share? man 5 smb.conf
[06:42] <izinucs> !language | dystopia
[06:42] <mint> $sudo abchirk Lofde_  thankyou
[06:43] <dystopia> ?
[06:43] <abchirk> !
[06:43] <dystopia> like i said something useful anyone can command a bot
[06:43] <abchirk> something adulty
[06:44] <unop> dystopia, you did use questionable language - best not to.
[06:44] <^paradox^> #linux isnt offering much in the way of help either
[06:44] <dystopia> who cares? ive been asking my question tons of times nobody helps, all iget is some dumbos usuing some commands to a bot, or provide incomplete documentation
[06:45] <abchirk> dystopia if noone knows?
[06:45] <brianski> !bitch and moan | dystopia
[06:45] <unop> dystopia, take a breather, ask again in a while - perhaps someone who knows how to help will respond
[06:45] <dystopia> !language | brianski
[06:45] <^paradox^> ive gotten plenty of help in irc
[06:46] <dystopia> yeah me too but today not and im quitting cigarettes and i am used to my up and down keys now they dont freakin work
[06:46] <izinucs> ^paradox^, perhaps another time of day will draw people that can answer.
[06:46] <^paradox^> just today is lacking :-/
[06:47] <brianski> dystopia: do they work on the console outside of X? (hit alt-f1, login,and then see if theywork)
[06:47] <brianski> it's also possible your shell's history file is nuked
[06:47] <brianski> or are up and down not working in e.g. firefox too?
[06:47] <unop> dystopia, please watch the language - obfuscated swearing is still swearing, please be mindful of the fact women and children frequent this channel
[06:48] <dystopia> the computer doesnt have a console outside of X
[06:48] <brianski> unop: don't be a sexist pig
[06:48] <dystopia> its everywhere in X, in every application
[06:48] <brianski> dystopia: that's odd. have yuo tried a different keyboad?
[06:48] <dystopia> my keyboard layout is set to 102 genric, but i have a laptop
[06:48] <brianski> maybe your keyboard isfailing?
[06:48] <unop> brianski, i'm far from what you just called me - but please, no need for that
[06:48] <wariskampar> f-spot drive me crazy!
[06:48] <brianski> (as is mine which apparentlycan't type space)
[06:48] <dystopia> well i have a laptop my keyboard layout should not be 102 but what should it be
[06:48] <wariskampar> problem persist even after re-installing
[06:49] <dystopia> i simply cannot select my keyboard layout :-(
[06:49] <izinucs> wariskampar, maybe it's easier to change your password on picasa web?
[06:49] <Mooninaut> Can anyone think of a reason why GRUB would try to boot from sda1 after I told it to look in sdb1?
[06:49] <izinucs> wariskampar, back to the one you had before?
[06:49] <dystopia> how do i know? cause i have an intrepid box which does show T61 layout ... but how can i add this layout
[06:50] <wariskampar> it's like beat the purpose
[06:50] <mystery> hi everyone
[06:50] <izinucs> wariskampar, but it'll work until you can figure out the fspot side of things.
[06:50] <wariskampar> of me changing the password in the first place
[06:50] <ahtmly2k> QUESTION, when i checked the freespace from my file browser, it says 2.7gb... but when i tried to install americas army it wont because it says free space only 1997mb... y is dat?
[06:51] <wariskampar> okay...for academic sake, i'll will try that
[06:51] <unop> ahtmly2k, what is the freespace as reported by this command?  df -h
[06:51] <brianski> hahaha wow. i just searched launchpad for a problem i was having, and found th answer
[06:51] <brianski> was about to thank the kind soul and then i realized. i was that kind soul, heh
[06:51] <brianski> i had the same problem months ago, apparently, heh

[06:52]  * unop sighs
[06:52] <dystopia> ah bah, fog it, ill just upgrade to intrepid
[06:52] <mystery> Can someone help me get windows media player 10 working on wine. When i try to use wmp i get an error message that says "an internal application error has occurred"
[06:52] <dystopia> stupid nonsense though not showing a layout and yes  ican google i already searched there couldnt find it
[06:53] <ahtmly2k> so?
[06:53] <MaxwIn> www.google.com ^_^
[06:53] <ahtmly2k> whts flooding?
[06:53] <amdpox> ahtmly2k, pasting 5 lines like that
[06:53] <unop> ahtmly2k, not sure - perhaps the game takes into account the fact that files need extracting first and that takes up considerable space?? just a guess
[06:54] <amdpox> use paste.ubuntu.com
[06:54] <dystopia> this kind of stuff really makes one insane
[06:54] <unop> !pm | brianski
[06:54] <brianski> someone should write an irc plugin for intercepting floods and redirecting them to pastebots, and also for optionally expanding the floods of others
[06:54] <ahtmly2k> yes it does... but not that much...
[06:54] <ahtmly2k> im running out of files to delete...
[06:54] <ahtmly2k> guess ill try again later
[06:54] <unop> ahtmly2k, this is generally a very busy channel, flooding really upsets things.
[06:55] <unop> brianski, please stop that now.
[06:55] <ahtmly2k> right... sorry
[06:55] <|thunder> is there an enviroment variable for date ?
[06:55] <amdpox> |thunder, I don't think so
[06:56] <amdpox> I don't have one, anyway
[06:56] <unop> |thunder, not really
[06:56] <wariskampar> izinucs, my old password is too short so PICASA refuse me to use it back
[06:56] <amdpox> $(date) works ;)
[06:56] <brianski> |thunder: no, but you can exec /bin/date just fine: DATE=/bin/date
[06:56] <unop> that wouldn't work
[06:56] <brianski> oops, missed backticks
[06:56] <brianski> DATE=`/bin/date`
[06:57] <amdpox> that's more like it ;)
[06:57] <|thunder> i want to add "mplayer -dumpstream -dumpfile test.asf "http://citadelcc-wjim-am.wm.llnwd.net/citadelcc_WJIM_AM?MSWMExt=.asf" to my cron tasks, how can I make test.asf = thedate.asf ?
[06:57] <amdpox> |thunder, I'm guessing crontab lets you use backticks if it lets you use env vars
[06:59] <brianski> crontab uses /bin/sh to parse commands
[06:59] <brianski> so yes, you can use backticks
[06:59] <izinucs> wariskampar, this thread mentions deleting something so fspot will ask for the password again.. but it doesn't really say how to delete it. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=303519
[06:59] <zeno> wth is ~/.gvfs?  Its taking up 28GB
[06:59] <brianski> zeno: gnome virtual file system IIRC. probably thumbnails and such
[06:59] <zeno> brianski: 28GB of thumbnails?
[07:00] <zeno> brianski: how to rm
[07:00] <brianski> actually i think i'm wrong
[07:00] <zeno> some of them
[07:00] <brianski> zeno i think it might put user mountpoints there
[07:00] <brianski> i suggest you read up on gvfs via your favorite google :-)
[07:01] <Mooninaut> Is it possible to shrink / move a RAID1 partition with parted?
[07:01] <brianski> Mooninaut: software or hardware raid?
[07:01] <Mooninaut> Software
[07:02] <brianski> hmm, i dunno then. it can do hardware tho
[07:02] <wariskampar> izinucs, thanks and I will look at it
[07:02] <mib> hi, anyone knows how to upgrade the latest gnumeric version using apt-get?
[07:02] <|thunder> brianski; if I run "DATE=/bin/date" "echo $DATE" just spits out "/bin/date". is this correct ?
[07:02] <brianski> |thunder: sorry that was a typo before
[07:02] <brianski> you want DATE=`/bin/date`
[07:02] <brianski> note the backticks
[07:02] <|thunder> ahh, thanks
[07:03] <izinucs> zeno, there's typically a lot of cached thumbnails from your entire system in ~/.thumbnails
[07:03] <dystopia> why does gnome terminal interfer with screen? suddenly alt+1 doesn't go to window 1 in screen anymore.. :-/
[07:04] <zeno> izinucs: just 6MB worth, not 28GB
[07:05] <izinucs> zeno, makes you wonder why all those thumbnails are even generated let alone stay there even after the initial file  is deleted.
[07:05] <[Solaris]> erm how do i see what raid tools are available in ubuntu?
[07:05] <izinucs> !raid | [Solaris]
[07:06] <kevin_> someone wanna give my problem a shot? -- I've been trying to play with xorg.config to get my synaptic pad working correctly -- works fine as a mouse but it's scroll does not work.
[07:06] <[Solaris]> thanks hopefully there are some diagnostic tools in there
[07:06] <brianski> dystopia: i think it uses ctrl+num to switch tabs now
[07:08] <[Solaris]> izinucs that doesn't tell me what tools are available in ubuntu those just tells me how to install a raid which i don't want
[07:08] <gluonman> For some reason, my installation of Windows XP on my VirtualBox keeps restarting halfway through. I'm using Ubuntu 8.04. Any ideas?
[07:09] <izinucs> [Solaris], not sure if anyone is around .. but .. the server people might have more experience with raid.. check out #ubuntu-server
[07:09] <dystopia> brianski: not here..
[07:11] <dystopia> hmm odd
[07:11] <gluonman> Does anyone know why a Windows XP installation would restart in VirtualBox halfway through installation?
[07:12] <extor> yeah its fucked
[07:12] <nubfilter> some kind of fault
[07:12] <dystopia> ou need to disable hvm
[07:12] <Cyranix0r> winxp restarts during installation even outside virtualbox
[07:12] <dystopia> you cannot use hvm during winxp install
[07:12] <Cyranix0r> unless you mean besides the normal restart after it copies install files
[07:12] <gluonman> Cyranix0r, It happens before the installation is finished.
[07:12] <gluonman> dystopia, hvm?
[07:13] <Cyranix0r> hmm. no idea then gluonman
[07:13] <dystopia> kvm_intel or kvm_amd
[07:13] <[Solaris]> well here is a non-server/raid quest how do i search for packages
[07:13] <Cyranix0r> I'm not virtualbox master :/
[07:13] <gluonman> Cyranix0r, I would be asking these questions in #vbox if those people would actually talk.
[07:13] <izinucs> [Solaris], from the command line?
[07:13] <gluonman> dystopia, what's hvm?
[07:13] <[Solaris]> for virtualbox help go to #vbox :P
[07:13] <dystopia> hardware vm
[07:14] <[Solaris]> izinucs from cmd line or gui
[07:14] <Cyranix0r> gluonman: yep, know the feeling. Such is the way of the internet :/
[07:14] <ce_sakit> hy
[07:14] <[Solaris]> want to search for raid packages
[07:14] <[Solaris]> and tools
[07:14] <gluonman> dystopia, what's wrong with installing winxp with virtualbox? I've done it on two other computers (only because my CS class requires the use of Microsoft Visual Studio).
[07:15] <izinucs> [Solaris], gui is System/Admin/synaptic package manager .. search for raid.. command line I think is sudo apt-cache -search raid
[07:15] <phantomcircuit> gluonman, seriously they do? that's ridiculous
[07:15] <dystopia> gluonman: nothing is wrong with it except you need to temp disable HVM
[07:15] <phantomcircuit> and im running virtualbox right now with windows xp
[07:15] <gluonman> phantomcircuit, what are you referring to?
[07:15] <gluonman> dystopia, how do I do that?
[07:15] <phantomcircuit> requiring visual studio
[07:16] <Lofde_> this upgrade to 8.10 is taking forever from 8.04, the repos are so slow :(
[07:16] <phantomcircuit> why do you need to disable HVM ?
[07:16] <gluonman> phantomcircuit, well, for the purposes of my class it kind of makes sense.
[07:16] <gluonman> dystopia, I didn't worry about hvm the last time I did successful winxp installations.
[07:17] <phantomcircuit> dystopia, i installed windows xp fine with intel hardware virtualization turned on
[07:17] <phantomcircuit> in fact it's running right now
[07:17] <phantomcircuit> gluonman, you aren't using the one found in the ubuntu repository are you?
[07:17] <phantomcircuit> OSE ?
[07:17] <izinucs> [Solaris], terminal is ... sudo apt-cache search raid
[07:17] <gluonman> phantomcircuit, I'm using the vbox from the .deb package one can find online.
[07:17] <jim_p> hello
[07:18] <phantomcircuit> gluonman, 2.0.2 right
[07:18] <[Solaris]> thanks for the help
[07:18] <dystopia> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM#Create%20VMs%20running%20other%20operating%20systems:%20virt-install
[07:18] <gluonman> phantomcircuit, yes.
[07:18] <[Solaris]> just gotta figure out which package i need or want to try
[07:18] <dystopia> in 2.0.2 its fixed..
[07:18] <dystopia> :P
[07:18] <bullgard4> What does "subpixel placement" mean as in "No. Antialiasing is an ugly self-defeating kludge, as is subpixel placement."? Does it mean the same as 'Subpixel smoothing' in System > Preference > Appearance > Fonts > Subpixel smooting (LCDs)?
[07:19] <wariskampar> izinucs, my guess about the password is right
[07:19] <amdpox> bullgard4, yes
[07:19] <amdpox> and I disagree with that statement :P
[07:19] <wariskampar> izinucs, i confirm it with f-spot --debug command
[07:19] <izinucs> [Solaris], using apt I see "raidutils" as one of the packages...
[07:19] <gluonman> dystopia, phantomcircuit, what I don't understand is that this same winxp live CD that worked perfectly in virtualbox on two of my Ubuntu 8.04 machines doesn't completely install on the one in question (also vbox on Ubuntu 8.04).
[07:19] <bullgard4> amdpox: Thank you for commetning.
[07:20] <Baber> how can i fix floppy disks in linux?
[07:20] <[Solaris]> izinucs so i would apt-get install raidutils
[07:20] <bullgard4> Baber: Be more specific in your question.
[07:20] <izinucs> wariskampar, if you find the solution you should post it on the forums
[07:20] <jim_p> does anybody know of an app (or terminal command) that can show me the keyboard layout?
[07:20] <gluonman> dystopia, phantomcircuit, the installation gets to a certain point (after setting the time zone, etc.) where it says I have 34 minutes left of installation, and virtualbox just resets it and starts again from a prior point.
[07:21] <Baber> bullgard4: why?
[07:21] <le_mischa> jim_p: less /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[07:21] <le_mischa> ;-)
[07:21] <izinucs> [Solaris], with sudo in front of that line.. sure.  Then you could probably "man raidutils" to look  at the man page.
[07:21] <phantomcircuit> dystopia, the section of that page you linked to is talking about using a python script, not virtualbox
[07:21] <jim_p> le_mischa: yea but it wont change when i swith layouts :P
[07:21] <Adman65> I have this werid problem with skype
[07:21] <Adman65> when iever i start skype
[07:22] <Adman65> it brakes me sound setup
[07:22] <Adman65> if i restart it works
[07:22] <Adman65> start skype, nothing
[07:22] <FloodBot3> Adman65: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[07:22] <Baber> bullgard4: my question is how can i recover floppy disks that can't in win?
[07:22] <le_mischa> there's a Gnome-thing, too ;)
[07:22] <le_mischa> and you can edit xorg.conf ;)
[07:22] <gluonman> dystopia, I don't think that website really pertains to my issues.
[07:22] <dystopia> phantomcircuit: but its referring to qemu library which virtualbox also uses
[07:22] <phantomcircuit> dystopia, in fact the kvm module talked about in that article explicitly is NOT VirtualBox
[07:22] <gluonman> dystopia, I need virtualbox, not python.
[07:22] <wariskampar> izinucs, i'm still looking for the solution
[07:23] <gluonman> dystopia, well, how would we apply that in terms of virtualbox?
[07:23] <wariskampar> still need to reset my password and somebody say about key ring
[07:23] <jim_p> le_mischa: that gnome thing is what i want to throw away! and my xorg.conf is properly done for keyboard switching
[07:23] <le_mischa> jim_p: system => pref => keyboard
[07:23] <wariskampar> izinucs, do you know how to change the key ring
[07:23] <le_mischa> ;D
[07:23] <wariskampar> in Ubuntu hardy Heron
[07:23] <le_mischa> do so ;)
[07:24] <[Solaris]> erm no man entry for raidutils... how to get package discription with apt?
[07:24] <phantomcircuit> gluonman, try disabling hardware virtualization
[07:24] <sd32> !suse
[07:24] <phantomcircuit> it's worth a shot
[07:24] <gluonman> phantomcircuit, how is that done?
[07:24] <phantomcircuit> open the list of virtual machines
[07:24] <phantomcircuit> edit the xp one
[07:24] <gluonman> phantomcircuit, alright.
[07:24] <jim_p> le_mischa: you dont get me! i know how to change layouts, i do so with alt+shift. i just want a display for this. and not that gnome applet thing!
[07:24] <gluonman> phantomcircuit, Let me give it a whack.
[07:25] <[Solaris]> err sorry I clicked the wrong button
[07:25] <phantomcircuit> it's listed as VT-x and AM-x or something like that
[07:25] <le_mischa> jim_p: there's a panel-add on ;)
[07:25] <[Solaris]> how do i get package discription via apt?
[07:25] <phantomcircuit> it doesn't actually say hardware virtualization
[07:25] <gluonman> ok
[07:26] <viverant> anyone else here have issues with mic input in hardy after an update within the past few weeks?
[07:26] <bullgard4> Baber: I do not understand you phrase "floppy disks that can't in win". Pleasse use standard English.
[07:26] <izinucs> wariskampar, I was just looking for that answer... something about gnome-keyring-manager..
[07:26] <marli> hi
[07:26] <viverant> via 82xx chipset here
[07:26] <bullgard4> Baber: I do not understand your phrase "floppy disks that can't in win". Pleasse use standard English.
[07:26] <marli> how do i alt-tab from a fullscreen game?
[07:26] <izinucs> Is there a way to manage the keyring?
[07:26] <jim_p> le_mischa: that panel addon! i want to remove it! i want only tray and main menu on my panel
[07:26] <PrinZ> hallo
[07:26] <phantomcircuit> i suspect he means he cant read from his floppy disc in windows
[07:27] <gluonman> phantomcircuit, where in the settings do I find that option?
[07:27] <phantomcircuit> id tell you but that box has decided to stop working for me :(
[07:27] <marli> is there a skb shortcut to minimise screens
[07:27] <marli> *KB
[07:28] <phantomcircuit> KB?
[07:28] <gluonman> I can't seem to find the hardware virtualization.
[07:28] <Baber> bullgard4: some floppy disks have badsector and can't read in windows how can repair these floppy disks in linux?
[07:28] <marli> KeyBoard
[07:28] <wariskampar> izinucs, i'm looking at Application>Accessories>Password and Encryption
[07:28] <gluonman> dystopia, where do I find the hardware virtualization option that I can disable in the virtual machine settings?
[07:28] <wariskampar> izinucs, but do not find related password
[07:28] <phantomcircuit> Alt+F9
[07:29] <gluonman> I'll see what that does.
[07:29] <marli> thanks
[07:29] <gluonman> Oh. That wasn't for me.
[07:29] <jim_p> question #2: how can i set different localizations for 2 different users? i want userA to have everything in greek and userB to have everything in german
[07:29] <CaptJager> is there any other choice than wine to run windows programs
[07:29] <bullgard4> Baber: I do not know the answer to your question. Please repeat your question in this channel without asking me in particular.
[07:29] <amdpox> CaptJager, you could emulate windows with VMWare  or Virtualbox
[07:30] <kevin_> is someone willing to try and help me with my mouse's scroll ability via xorg.conf ?
[07:30] <CaptJager> trying to run just one program and hit hangs on install with wine trying to use filemaker
[07:30] <Baber> how can fix floppy disk errors in linux?
[07:30] <gluonman> amdpox, CaptJager, VMWare and VirtualBox aren't just emulations of Windows. They actually boot the OS.
[07:31] <CaptJager> they boot windows....ewww
[07:31] <jim_p> Baber: i dont think this is possible. how do you do it, if you do it, in windows?
[07:31] <amdpox> gluonman, that's what an emulator does
[07:31] <CaptJager> just want to run filemaker that is the only software I need from windows
[07:31] <amdpox> wine is a replacement API, not an emulator
[07:31] <jim_p> CaptJager: what does filemaker do?
[07:31] <gluonman> amdpox, well, it's a bit different from emulation as it is actually Windows, where wine isn't actually windows.
[07:31] <jim_p> CaptJager: there may be a linux equivalent
[07:32] <amdpox> ...I'm quite sure emulation means running the original OS in a virtual machine
[07:32] <amdpox> I may be wrong
[07:32] <gluonman> amdpox, unless this is a matter of word-play and we have the same idea but with different words.
[07:32] <CaptJager> I think glum is one but not as good as filemaker
[07:32] <jim_p> amdpox: thats what emulation is
[07:32] <Baber> jim_p: this function is only in linux
[07:32] <kevin_> Can someone help me with my synaptic touchpad's scroll ability via xorg.conf ? I have the settings as correct as I know them to be....I've tried everything I can think of..still doesn't work.
[07:32] <amdpox> CaptJager, check appdb.winehq.org, if they haven't got it working there, odds are you'll have to use an alternative or boot windows inside virtualbox
[07:33] <RedWolfLH> does anyone have any knowledge about dualheads in the latest ubuntu?
[07:33] <CaptJager> checking there
[07:33] <CaptJager> thanks
[07:33] <CaptJager> brb
[07:33] <jim_p> Baber: if you want to retrieve data from it, use a program like imagerescue
[07:33] <gluonman> CaptJager, there's also dual-booting if not virtual machines or wine.
[07:33] <scorpion> ciao
[07:33] <darkbishop> !virtualbox
[07:33] <scorpion> !list
[07:34] <marli> right that didnt work!!!
[07:34] <gluonman> dystopia, still there? I had a question for you.
[07:34] <marli> alt f9 does not work on fullscreen
[07:34] <Baber> jim_p: i don't have any data on it i want only repair bad blocks
[07:34] <gluonman> dystopia, about disabling HMV. I don't know where to find it.
[07:34] <marli> how do i change from full screen without quiting
[07:34] <darkbishop> do virtualbox is batter then wine?
[07:35] <wariskampar> izinucs, problem solved
[07:35] <kevin_> since it seems noone is available -- perhaps a simple question: in /etc/X11/xorg.conf   --  a boolean 0 = DISABLE and boolean 1 = ENABLE correct?
[07:35] <gluonman> darkbishop, well, virtualbox and wine don't do the same thing.
[07:35] <izinucs> wariskampar, I just used "locate" and found /usr/lib/f-spot/gnome-keyring-sharp.dll...  if you  delete that it might work.. actually I'd just change the name so you can change it back if it produces bad results.
[07:35] <dystopia> i dont know
[07:35] <marli> anyone?
[07:35] <jim_p> sorry then Baber :( i dont know
[07:35] <gluonman> dystopia, I'll figure it out, then.
[07:35] <|thunder> could an AWK wiz please help me convert something like "Fri Sep 26 02:04:05 EDT 2008" into "2008_Sep_26_Fri". deliniated by spaces? please  :)
[07:35] <darkbishop> do virtualbox similier to vmware in windows?
[07:35] <dystopia> gluonman: lsmod | grep kvm
[07:35] <marli> and why does warzone 2100 crash?
[07:35] <dystopia> rmmod these
[07:36] <kevin_> marli, usually the F11 key is the toggle key for fullscreen mod on most apps
[07:36] <wariskampar> izinucs, actually I just change the password in Application> Acc>Password...
[07:36] <kevin_> marli, mode*
[07:36] <gluonman> darkbishop, yes, virtualbox and vmware are both programs that boot virtual machines.
[07:36] <|thunder> darkbishop; yes it "is"
[07:36] <jim_p> question #2: how can i set different localizations for 2 different users? i want userA to have everything in greek and userB to have everything in german
[07:36] <marli> ok will try that
[07:36] <milligan> Ok, someone explain this to me. I'm trying to install ubuntu. The cd loads and the installer starts. however, when it gets to the mounting of a cd-rom, it says no cdrom is detected. How can that be ?
[07:36] <gluonman> dystopia, let me try that.
[07:36] <izinucs> Why would f-spot use a .exe in /usr/lib/f-spot    ?  the file is f-spot.exe
[07:36] <wariskampar> izinucs, it was there all this will, only I'm too blind to see :)
[07:36] <izinucs> wariskampar, was you're old one listed there?
[07:37] <gluonman> dystopia, it didn't give me any output.
[07:37] <dystopia> hmm ok
[07:37] <wariskampar> izinucs, yup! and once changed to new one, problem solved
[07:37] <ushimitsudoki> jim_p: You can select the language from the login screen. Will that work? I use that to toggle between language on a per-session basis
[07:37] <wariskampar> THANKS izinucs
[07:37] <izinucs> wariskampar, hey.. you figured it out!
[07:37] <kevin_> milligan, sometimes you run into this error when you burn a cd with too fast a burn speed setting. You can try burning the disk again but at a slower speed (4X or 6X).
[07:37] <zeno> how do i tell what is in ~/.gvfs?  ls -la says nothing
[07:37] <wariskampar> you guide me through...
[07:38] <zeno> but occupies 28GB
[07:38] <wariskampar> THANKS again!!
[07:38] <jim_p> ushimitsudoki: and they have to select on each login?!?! too much for them! they even consider hard to use usenames and passes
[07:38] <izinucs> wariskampar, np.. I learned something too.. pass it along.
[07:39] <kevin_> Can someone help me with my synaptic touchpad's scroll ability via xorg.conf ? I have the settings as correct as I know them to be.
[07:39] <amdpox> zeno, I believe it's to do with a mounted ntfs-\fuse partition
[07:40] <milligan> kevin_, alright. I'll give it a shot.
[07:40] <RedWolfLH> Okay, so I just got back from my deployment.  I left, i had dapper drake.  Now that i've upgraded to 8.04 my dualscreens arent working quite right.  Seems although I have separate X running on the other screen I am unable to drag applications between screens and still have them run independently...any suggetsions?
[07:40] <amdpox> actually, mine is the same size as my root ext3 partition
[07:40] <amdpox> zeno, basically, it's not real space being taken out of your drive: it's a mountpoint
[07:40] <kevin_> milligan, great -- here are my current settings -- which SHOULD work to get my touchpad's scroll funtion to work correctly, but it does'nt. http://rafb.net/p/Z7xHXl40.html
[07:41] <ushimitsudoki> jim_p: hmm, I don't know if the language selection is saved on a per-user basis, I haven't looked at that because I don't have multiple users. I know you can select the language as "this session only" or "make default", and the login screen will come up in the appropriate language -- which obviously appears before the user logs in. You might have to google or experiment there
[07:42] <zeno> amdpox: thanks
[07:43] <jim_p> ushimitsudoki: what i really want, is the one user's menus, icons, dialogs and stuff to be in german, while the other's to be in greek. Just the enviroment i mean. Anyway, i found something at a wiki so far. thanks
[07:43] <viverant> RedWolfLH: Are you using compiz with your dual screens?
[07:43] <blue-frog> jim_p: where please?
[07:43] <RedWolfLH> viverant, no sir I don't believe so.
[07:44] <RedWolfLH> I dont like all the fancy screen turning crap lol
[07:44] <jim_p> blue-frog: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/guide-localization.xml
[07:44] <blue-frog> ty
[07:44] <ushimitsudoki> RedWolfLH: you can not drag windows between separate X screens
[07:44] <jim_p> blue-frog: chapter 3
[07:44] <ushimitsudoki> RedWolfLH: You must use Twinview (nvidia) or Xinerama (with prohibits composting)
[07:44] <RedWolfLH> ah maybe I need to re-neable Twinview?
[07:45] <ushimitsudoki> RedWolfLH: I don't know the ATI side if there is an equivalent to Twinview if you are on ATI
[07:45] <PrinZ> hello
[07:45] <RedWolfLH> nah I'm using nvidia
[07:45]  * delcoyote hi
[07:45] <ushimitsudoki> RedWolfLH: Yes, then you want TwinView for dualmonitor action! :)
[07:45] <PrinZ> im usin' knoppix at school^^
[07:45] <viverant> RedWolfLH: Okay sorry I had that but it was because I had problems with twinview and compiz and had to tweak some stuff to be able to use both ides of the side of the cube... I like the fancy stuff :)
[07:45] <PrinZ> is there someone?
[07:46] <RedWolfLH> I will reboot x and let you know how things work for me :)
[07:46] <RedWolfLH> brb
[07:46] <PrinZ> germans?!huhu?
[07:46] <ushimitsudoki> PrinZ: This channel is for ubuntu support. Maybe you want #knoppix?
[07:47] <kevin_> milligan, any luck?
[07:47] <PrinZ> oh no^^, im in school
[07:47] <PrinZ> i thought it was just a chat
[07:47] <PrinZ> im sorry^^
[07:47] <utnubudnai> hey there ,I want to compile a module,but it says "linux/init.h not found"?why?
[07:48] <milligan> kevin_, need to fry the cd first
[07:48] <jerome187> what is the ubuntu-desktop package? and what will happen if I remove it?
[07:48] <milligan> running it at 16x with verification now
[07:48] <jim_p> utnubudnai: do you have linux-headers instaled?
[07:48] <rmmm> hi
[07:48] <kevin_> milligan, sure
[07:48] <Gokee2> So with compiz there is some way to make a window scale smaller...  But I forget what plugin it is.  Anyone here know?  Thanks
[07:48] <kevin_> Can someone help me with my synaptic touchpad's scroll ability via xorg.conf ? I have the settings as correct as I know them to be.
[07:48] <rmmm> how to increase secuiryt of my desktop system?
[07:49] <HeMan> rmmm: do you have low security?
[07:49] <amdpox> rmmm, unplug all network cables and lock in lead box on bottom of ocean
[07:49] <RedWolfLH> okay.. we have a problem now lol
[07:49] <ushimitsudoki> Gokee2: Scale?
[07:49] <jim_p> jerome187: the ubuntu-desktop is a package-shortcut that tells apt: "install gnome, gnome games, totem, etc". you can safely remove it
[07:49] <fallore> i plugged in a USB drive and it's not being recognized. is there anything i can or should do? it's a U3 drive if that changes anything, but it's worked before
[07:49] <reinis__> why when I open firefox I dont see the blue bar on the top with that minimize, maximize, close button??? there was this bar, but know when i start FF thers no more :(
[07:49] <rmmm> amdpox: have to use internet
[07:49] <utnubudnai> jim_p, hey,I have compiled my kernel,so ...I think I have installed it
[07:49] <amdpox> hehe
[07:50] <RedWolfLH> Twinview turned it into 1 giant screen..which I didnt really like.  So I changed ti back to separate sessions now I cannot move my mouse between desktops
[07:50] <rmmm> HeMan: yes, its a default ubuntu desktop
[07:50] <jim_p> !linux.h
[07:50] <gluonman> reinis_ are you using emerald?
[07:50] <amdpox> rmmm, well, a firewall would probably help
[07:50] <HeMan> rmmm: the ubuntu desktop is usually pretty secure
[07:50] <amdpox> !firewall
[07:50] <Gokee2> ushimitsudoki, Nope I found it though I was thinking of shelf.  Thanks!
[07:50] <utnubudnai> jim_p, actually i don't quite understand what a kernel-header does?thanks
[07:50] <ushimitsudoki> RedWolfLH: Was there a specific issue with 1 giant screen that didn't work for you?
[07:50] <MeVsTheVoices> Use iptables, massive headache they can be, but well worth it if porn be your fave
[07:51] <HeMan> rmmm: what threat do you see?
[07:51] <rmmm> amdpox: for example, to prevent a bug in firefox from allowing aritrary code and i.e. reading my documents
[07:51] <utnubudnai> and how to check if i have installed kernel-headers?
[07:51] <rmmm> HeMan: ^
[07:51] <jim_p> utnubudnai: it provides libraries needed to make other modules and stuff that is directly related to the kernel, like alsa
[07:51] <RedWolfLH> well I like to be able to run wow on 1 desktop and chat and browse the net on the other
[07:51] <amdpox> rmmm, don't use firefox
[07:51] <RedWolfLH> nwo i cannot even access the other desktop
[07:51] <amdpox> there's not many vulnerabilities like that, and they get fixed very fast
[07:51] <rmmm> amdpox: well, or any other regular browser
[07:51] <Finnish> How can I open stuffit-packed packets?
[07:52] <rmmm> I was thinking about apparmor
[07:52] <amdpox> rmmm, encrypt your documents?
[07:52] <jim_p> Finnish: what extention do they have?
[07:52] <utnubudnai> jim_p, I compiled the kernel in ubuntu and made to deb files,one of them is linux-image,and the other one is linux-header!I installed them both
[07:52] <RedWolfLH> also, it apperas that everything is being duplicated on the screen on the bottom where you can select desktop.  Even though it only shows up on 1 screen I can see the window summary on the other one
[07:52] <rmmm> amdpox: yes, I use LUKS partition
[07:52] <ushimitsudoki> RedWolfLH: Ah, I see. Unless you window WoW, you're right TwinView isn't going to work. As for not being able to access the second desktop - that's because you probably have it cloned
[07:52] <viverant> Gokee2:  Do you mean make the window smaller when using the scale plugin itself or?
[07:52] <RedWolfLH> how do I turn the clone shit off,  lol
[07:53] <rmmm> anyone uses apparmored?
[07:53] <rmmm> apparmor
[07:53] <Finnish> jim_p: .sit
[07:53] <viverant> shoot already answered nevermind :)
[07:53] <ushimitsudoki> RedWolfLH: Just use nvidia-settings to set up the second one as a separate X screen. I forget the xorg.conf way to do it :)
[07:53] <jim_p> Finnish: i think .sit files are related to some mac compression
[07:53] <RedWolfLH> i did they're both "separate xscreen"
[07:54] <Finnish> Ubuntu folder shows it's Stuffit
[07:54] <RedWolfLH> i'll reboot X again
[07:54] <genii> sit - Stuffit , yes. Proprietary
[07:54] <kevin_> Can someone help me with my synaptic touchpad's scroll ability via xorg.conf ? I have the settings as correct as I know them to be.
[07:54] <wariskampar> Anyone experience Gnome_Do consume 70-80% CPU resource
[07:55] <AlexW> why are addresses assigned in reverse whe nusing dhcp3-server
[07:55] <Durendal> im trying to install ubuntu on a used computer i bought from my work and it starts out ok i select to install then i get "Loading Please Wait... | /init: /init: 1: Syntax error: 2 - 1 | [ 33.603866] Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!
[07:55] <Durendal> | = new line
[07:55] <Durendal> any suggestions? im fairly new to linux
[07:55] <gluonman> Durendal, think it's a problem with the live CD?
[07:55] <wariskampar> Gnome-Do slow down my system
[07:55] <amdpox> Finnish, I thought fileroller supportred sit
[07:56] <amdpox> wariskampar, it's a ram hog here
[07:56] <Durendal> i thought so at first i have one of an older version i had shipped to me then i burnt one of the new version
[07:56] <MeVsTheVoices> | = new line !?!
[07:56] <MrDudle> i wish i could open .lit files on ubuntu :(
[07:56] <Finnish> So how do I unpack it?
[07:56] <Durendal> seem to get the same error on both so im thinking it may be something else
[07:56] <gluonman> Durendal, otherwise, if it's an older computer with slower hardware, you may want to burn a copy of the alternate text-based version so the installation itself uses less resources.
[07:56] <gluonman> see if that works.
[07:56] <Durendal> hmmm kk ill give it a shot
[07:56] <Durendal> thanks a lot :)
[07:56] <wariskampar> amdpox, me too, only CPU usage the most critical
[07:56] <gluonman> no prob
[07:56] <wariskampar> amdpox, do you have any idea
[07:57] <wariskampar> leakage etc
[07:57] <amdpox> wariskampar, nope, it never uses CPU here when it's not onscreen
[07:57] <amdpox> Finnish, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwitchingToUbuntu/FromMacOSX
[07:57] <wariskampar> amdpox, it happened to me since a few days ago
[07:57] <amdpox> wariskampar, any change in desktop environment/window manager?
[07:58] <amdpox> are there multiple instances of gnome-do running?
[07:58] <kevin_> Can someone help me with my synaptic touchpad's scroll ability via xorg.conf ? I have the settings as correct as I know them to be.
[07:58] <darkbishop> kevin_:didnt u ask this before.. seems like no one know
[07:59] <wariskampar> amdpox, nope (as far as I remember)..use Ubuntu HH+compiz+Gnome 2.24
[07:59] <kevin_> darkbishop, yea -- i keep posting in hopes someone will catch it
[07:59] <RedWolfLH> well.. a reboot of X fixed that.. I dont have them set to clone, but I'm still unable to launch programs in each independent X screen.  If I open it on my left screen it opens up the program on my right screen.  Seems like the only screen capable of running stuff is my primary screen and the toher just servers as extra desktop space.. They still seem cloned :(
[07:59] <wariskampar> amdpox, sorry...Gnome 2.22
[07:59] <amdpox> wariskampar, no idea then
[08:01] <ushimitsudoki> RedWolfLH: You just have to twiddle with it...make sure that in nvidia-settings you have "X Screen 0" and "X Screen 1" . I'm sorry I don't remember the details, this happens to me every once and again when messing about with the drivers and fiddling about in there solves it. I just don't recall the exact procedure, sorry
[08:01] <abeeky> exit
[08:01] <milligan> kevin_, no luck :-\
[08:02] <RedWolfLH> ushimitsudoki, yes they are X Screen 0 and X Screen 1
[08:02] <ushimitsudoki> RedWolfLH: Well, if you want to pastebin your xorg.conf i can compare it to mine
[08:02] <RedWolfLH> okay ushi
[08:03] <kevin_> milligan, does your disk drive read *any* disk?
[08:03] <wariskampar> amdpox, nv but if you're curious, i'm looking at this bug report
[08:03] <wariskampar> amdpox,
[08:03] <wariskampar> https://answers.launchpad.net/do/+question/32494
[08:03] <milligan> kevin_, well, the disk boots.. so it reads till the linux kernel takes over.
[08:03] <wariskampar> sorry..not bug report
[08:03] <ASrock> how do i configure grub  to chainload the windows bootloader?
[08:04] <kevin_> milligan, do you reach an error other than "no disk found" -- and did you try researching this on google/ubuntu forums?
[08:04] <RedWolfLH> ushimitsudoki, http://pastebin.ca/1211282
[08:04] <dwa_> i just did an apt-get update and some firefox components got upgraded, including xulrunner. Now my thunderbird isn't working properly; i can't write new e-mails anymore. Does anyone know what causes this and how to fix it?
[08:04] <Flannel> ASrock: There's actually an example in the menu.lst
[08:04] <milligan> kevin_, it doesn't say no disk found .. it says no cd-rom is found!
[08:06] <SaS`> has anyone heard of firefox causing a system to lockup ?
[08:06] <kevin_> milligan, the only advice i can give to you is keep researching and/or ask again in here. My guess is that the linux kernal does not have access to the appropriate drivers needed for reading from the CD-ROM.
[08:07] <ushimitsudoki> RedWolfLH: You have 2 cards, one on each monitor?
[08:07] <RedWolfLH> no 1 card
[08:07] <ushimitsudoki> RedWolfLH: Your xorg.conf defines two cards
[08:08] <kevin_> milligan, god luck and sorry I can't be of more help to you.
[08:08] <kevin_> milligan, good*
[08:08] <RedWolfLH> uhmn i think that was the only way to get dual screens back in dapper
[08:08] <RedWolfLH> It's a dual head card tho
[08:08] <fallore> does linux have some limit as to the size of flash drives it recognizes? a 4gb one works no problem, but 8 gb of the same exact type doesn't.
[08:09] <ushimitsudoki> RedWolfLH: When you complete the nvidia settings are you "merging" the changes or saving a brand new file? (It looks like you are "merging" them
[08:09] <RedWolfLH> Saving
[08:09] <bullgard4> fallore: I believe that 32 bit Linux has this limit but 64 bit Linux not.
[08:10] <Flannel> that's only for RAM
[08:10] <blue-frog> jim_p: edit ~/.dmrc and fill in Language=fr_FR.UTF-8   adapt to your language
[08:10] <fallore> bullgard4: i'm on 32 :[
[08:10] <joustin> Anyone know a user by the name of SecurityTester?
[08:11] <Flannel> fallore: There's no limit, assuming its FAT32.
[08:11] <Flannel> well, FAT32 has a limit of 2TB, which we haven't quite reached in flash drives just yet
[08:11] <fallore> Flannel: i don't know if it is. it's a u3 drive, which means it has this software that allows you to install programs on it that you can run off the drive on any windows computer.
[08:12] <jim_p> blue-frog: ~/.dmrc?
[08:12] <RedWolfLH> ushimitsudoki, do you think you can provide me with an updated Xorg.conf without the risk of me not being able to use my gui lol
[08:12] <blue-frog> jim_p: yes in your user's folder
[08:12] <jim_p> blue-frog: .dmrc has only 2 lines there
[08:12] <blue-frog> jim_p: yes. add a third line
[08:12] <jim_p> blue-frog: i was thinking about .bashrc
[08:13] <blue-frog> nopee
[08:13] <ushimitsudoki> RedWolfLH: I have 2 cards / 3 monitors and 3 diff xorg.conf (Middle monitor only, Xinerama, Twinview + Separate X Screen) - I don't think you want any of those directly :)
[08:13] <blue-frog> jim_p: well maybe you could, but the .dmrc way is straight forward
[08:13] <dwa_> i just did an apt-get update and some firefox components got upgraded, including xulrunner. Now my thunderbird isn't working properly; i can't write new e-mails anymore. Does anyone know what causes this and how to fix it?
[08:14] <jim_p> blue-frog: thanks
[08:15] <Flannel> dwa_: do you have hardy-proposed enabled?
[08:15] <RedWolfLH> :\ so what can I change so I can run programs on my 2nd screen?
[08:16] <dwa_> Flannel: no i haven't
[08:17] <RedWolfLH> I'mma afk and smoke a cigarette >.<
[08:17] <ushimitsudoki> RedWolfLH: Hold on I will set mine up dual monitor only on one card. Please be patient
[08:17] <Kai> Hello
[08:18] <Flannel> dwa_: Have you checked to see if theres a bug about it?
[08:18] <Kai> Anyone free? My Firefox seems to have crashed and will not work again,,
[08:20] <jim_p> Kai: uninstall it (sudo apt-get remove firefox --purge) and delete the ~/.mozilla folder . you will lose any settings and bookmarks though
[08:20] <Flannel> purging 'firefox' won't do anything, it's just a metapackage.
[08:20] <Flannel> Also, don't delete, just rename.
[08:20] <Kai> jim_p: I will try, I am not worried about lost settings or bookmarks, however. It just will not open at all
[08:21] <Kai> Furthermore, It seems my CD drive thinger won't mount:?
[08:21] <wariskampar> amdpox, i found the bug report
[08:21] <wariskampar> amdpox,
[08:21] <bags> www.bags_ramdan@yahoo.co.id
[08:21] <Kai> ASSERT: *** Search: _installLocation: engine has no file!
[08:21] <Kai> is the error I keep getting
[08:21] <RedWolfLH> ushimitsudoki, <3 thank you
[08:21] <wariskampar> https://bugs.launchpad.net/do/+bug/270437
[08:22] <Flannel> bags: Please don't do that.
[08:22] <ushimitsudoki> RedWolfLH: Alright: this is what I am running right now and it works, 2 separate X screens on 1 card: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/50761/
[08:22] <blue-frog> jim_p: if you wish to load the keyboard corresponding to the language, you will need to add a file with stxkbmap fr (adapt) in ~/.config/autostart
[08:22] <wariskampar> seem like this problem happen after Gnome-Do latest update
[08:22] <jim_p> blue-frog: thanks. it seems like a lot of hussle :(
[08:23] <blue-frog> jim_p: no it's not
[08:23] <RedWolfLH> ushimitsudoki, just because I'm an idiot which portion of that should I copy or just use verbatim what is there?
[08:23] <Flannel> Kai: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/273883
[08:23] <Flannel> Kai: seems you need to make sure firefox is actually closed
[08:23] <Kai> Thats creeping me out, Flannel, It just loaded that page, on firefox.
[08:23] <jim_p> blue-frog: i mean the whole procedure
[08:23] <jim-20-m-sby> w
[08:23] <jim_p> anyway
[08:23] <Kai> However, the Firefox at the bottom displays to FF icon
[08:23] <ushimitsudoki> RedWolfLH: Don't copy any of it! I have different cards and monitors than you do! *MODIFY* what I posted to match your equipment!
[08:24] <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?
[08:24] <RedWolfLH> ushimitsudoki, forgive me  lol
[08:24] <Flannel> Kai: right.  You'll need to close all of them, forcefully if necessary.
[08:24] <dwa_> Flannel: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mozilla-thunderbird/+bug/274672
[08:24] <RedWolfLH> ushimitsudoki, i'm only relaly good with non-gui linux..so when you add all this gui stuff it changes my whole world lol
[08:24] <blue-frog> jim_p: well if you wish a different language for each user, it's only a matter of one file. the keyboard can stay the same except if they have the real keyboard
[08:24] <Kai> Ah,,, One more question then, Flannel? My CD/DVD drive not able to open the input CD? (CD in like-new condition, never had a problem playing the same disc before)
[08:24] <ushimitsudoki> RedWolfLH: Well, I'm not good with any of it, but I keep trying :)
[08:25] <blue-frog> jim_p: it all depends on what you want and what your users want
[08:25] <RedWolfLH> ushimitsudoki,  lol i'll make sure to keep ym xorg.bak :-p
[08:25] <pshm> привет! кто нибудь знает че это может быть Argh. No free space left for GC. nr_erasing_blocks is 0

[08:25] <Flannel> !ru | pshm
[08:25] <ushimitsudoki> RedWolfLH: alright keep at i am going to reboot so i can get back to 3 monitor glory
[08:26] <Kai> I wish I knew that language, pshm :(
[08:26] <jim_p> blue-frog: sadly, they want their os to be translated so they can understand it directly
[08:26] <joko> boy
[08:26] <Kai> Yes?
[08:27] <Ububegin> i see this symbol  appear quite often in the ebooks... Does anyone else have had this problem.. Is my ubuntu system missing some font or something
[08:27] <blue-frog> jim_p: sounds legitimate to me, are they in different countries?
[08:27] <Kai> Flannel: How do I force close FF?
[08:27] <pshm> Kai
[08:27] <sbeh> Kai: xkill
[08:27] <jim_p> blue-frog: no, they are next door to me
[08:27] <SaS`> ;\
[08:27] <Flannel> Kai: ps aux | grep firefox   then kill [pid] where pid is the second column
[08:28] <blue-frog> jim_p: so that means they all have the same keyboard. you don't need to tweak it then?
[08:28] <Kai> No windows shown on taskbar, beh
[08:28] <milligan> kevinO, found the fault
[08:28] <sbeh> Kai: than Flannel's way.
[08:28] <jim_p> blue-frog: possibly
[08:28] <blue-frog> jim_p: how many users?
[08:28] <Kai> Flannel, I have no idea what you just said :(
[08:28] <sbeh> Flannel: pgrep firefox
[08:28] <Ububegin> the funny is that when i type in "" in google.. it appears as "??" .. Anyone with any clue
[08:28] <fallore> 90% of websites won't load, google works, google can search, msn logs in, aim won't log in. just reset my IP, any ideas?
[08:29] <amdpox> Kai, type "killall firefox" in a terminal
[08:29] <Kai> fallore: Blacklisted from router?
[08:29] <sbeh> Kai: pkill firefox (but this is dangerous, because it kills all programs with firefox in its name
[08:29] <RedWolfLH> ushimitsudoki, they seem identical
[08:29] <fallore> Kai: i can't imagine, it worked a minute ago and just suddenly stopped
[08:29] <jim_p> blue-frog: 2. in fact 2 categories of users, the german speaking ones (3) and a greek speaking one
[08:29] <Kai> fallore: Restart web browser?
[08:30] <blue-frog> jim_p: 2 users? :) you can do that by hand then
[08:30] <fallore> Kai: no effect
[08:30] <Kai> Thank you, sbeh!
[08:30] <Ububegin> Does anybody have any clue....
[08:30] <Kai> fallore: Proxy set?
[08:30] <amdpox> fallore, could be a DNS issue
[08:30] <fallore> Kai: nope
[08:30] <Kai> amdpox :( i was getting there,
[08:30] <fallore> amdpox: how do i find out/resolve?
[08:30] <Kai> fallore: @amdpox
[08:31] <ushimitsudoki> RedWolfLH: What was your pastebin link again? I lost it when i restarted X
[08:31] <Kai> Now to install Adobe Flash player?
[08:31] <jim_p> blue-frog: by hand?
[08:31] <amdpox> fallore, try loading http://67.159.43.240/ in a browser
[08:31] <RedWolfLH> http://pastebin.ca/1211282
[08:31] <blue-frog> jim_p: one after another
[08:31] <RedWolfLH> ushimitsudoki, http://pastebin.ca/1211282
[08:32] <fallore> amdpox: 404 not found
[08:32] <RedWolfLH> ushimitsudoki,  if you ignor ethe commented out lines they're pretty much the same minus the Hardware differences
[08:32] <jim_p> blue-frog: ok i will give it a shot
[08:32] <zabeehkhan> how can I start or stop a service .. for example mysql?
[08:32] <amdpox> 404? that means it's getting to the server but apache's refusing because of the lack of a domain
[08:32] <fallore> amdpox: which means? :-/
[08:32] <amdpox> DNS issue
[08:33] <fallore> amdpox: any idea how to resolve?
[08:33] <amdpox> probably a temporary issue with your dns server
[08:33] <amdpox> for now you could add another to your list
[08:33] <zabeehkhan> how can I start or stop a service .. for example mysql?
[08:33] <fallore> amdpox: then the remedy is a cereal break. i'll brb, thanks for your help
[08:33] <zabeehkhan> I would use #service mysqld start on fedora
[08:33] <blue-frog> zabeehkhan: system/administration/services
[08:33] <zabeehkhan> ok
[08:34] <amdpox> zabeehkhan, if you want to do it from CLI, use /etc/init.d/mysqld stop/start/restart
[08:34] <blue-frog> zabeehkhan: or in console: sudo invoke-rc.d mysql
[08:34] <zabeehkhan> ok.. :)
[08:34] <amdpox> the services menu checkboxes turn them on/off permamently, ie for next boot
[08:36] <fallore> i did "sudo make me a sandwich" in terminal but it didn't work :-x
[08:36] <Kai> :( its
[08:36] <ushimitsudoki> RedWolfLH: Yeah, I can not spot a difference either. I sure did test it though, different backgrounds, different apps open and so forth.
[08:36] <neil_d> why does the alternative CD install grub when the server CD installs lilo for the same filesystem layout ?
[08:36] <Kai> sudo make install sandwich
[08:36] <Kai> (:
[08:36] <fallore> oh thanks
[08:36] <Kai> heh
[08:36] <Flannel> neil_d: It shouldn't GRUB is default
[08:36] <RedWolfLH> ushimitsudoki,  this makes me mad lol
[08:38] <ushimitsudoki> RedWolfLH: The only thing I can say is that occasionally I get that clone action happening, but it goes away when i fiddle around in nvidia settings and restart. I know that is vague and not very helpful
[08:39] <neil_d> Flannel: it did.  I have a /etc/lilo.conf and no /boot/grub directory
[08:39] <RedWolfLH> ushimitsudoki,  i've played with nvidia so many times I'm about to puke lol
[08:39] <joko> hai
[08:39] <Kai> Nvidia ftw.
[08:39] <^paradox^> ok i see what i was doing wrong now while i was trying to setup a printer to be shared over our network. i believe i selected the wrong pc in the process
[08:39] <RedWolfLH> kai, nvidia ftl tonight
[08:40] <LimCore> ok I see that apparmored sucks?
[08:40] <LimCore> AppArmor
[08:40] <^paradox^> ive got the right one now but i still need a hand from somebody whos more experienced than i
[08:40] <LimCore> can one use SE Linux on ubuntu fully?
[08:40] <Kai> RedWolfLH, whats the issue?
[08:41] <RedWolfLH> Kai, my dualscreens arent working qui eright.  Everything seems to be cloned from one desktop to the next.  I can only run applications on 1 screen, and i am unable to establish individual backgrounds, they share the same one.
[08:43] <Kai> Really? :( Darn....
[08:44] <Kai> Wish I could help ^^ but I only have 2/5 speakers working, RedWolfLH
[08:44]  * RedWolfLH stabs his dualscreens
[08:44] <Kai> >.>
[08:44]  * Kai pats RedWolfLH, That only works when it's a Windoze product
[08:53] <neil_d> when installing grub, how do I get it to generate the menu.lst file ?
[08:53] <negge> neil_d: it does it automatically
[08:53] <filo1234> !purge
[08:54] <neil_d> negge: I know it should, but it wasn't lilo was installed.
[08:54] <LimCore> why ubuntu ships things like AppArmored instead of providing real security solution like selinux?
[08:54] <negge> neil_d: hmm. Did you remove lilo first?
[08:55] <neil_d> negge: no!  should grub care if lilo is installed.
[08:55] <Flannel> LimCore: Ubuntu chose to use AppArmor instead of SELinux.  It was a design choice.  You can still use SELinux though.
[08:55] <Andy80> hi all :)
[08:56] <negge> neil_d: I don't know, I never used Lilo
[08:56] <wariskampar> Flannel, what is AppArmor
[08:56] <negge> neil_d: which bootloader is in use when you boot your computer?
[08:56] <tyberion> hey there.. Im having trouble compiling a certain package because it says Package audacious wasnt found.. But actually I installed it since Im using it all the time, guess I just have to set the paths in configure..but how do I find out where my audacious stuff is located? Thanks :)
[08:57] <negge> tyberion: are you trying to compile audacious or some plugin for it?
[08:57] <tyberion> negge: compiling conky with audacious support
[08:57] <negge> tyberion: I'm sorry, I know nothing about that
[08:57] <negge> you're probably missing a dependency
[08:57] <neil_d> negge: I havn't for a long time, never with ubuntu, the new install put in lilo, it boots with lilo into ubuntu server.
[08:57] <ttwio> ubottu: ubuntu 8.10
[08:58] <negge> !intrepid | ttwio
[08:58] <LimCore> Flannel: but from what I read, AppArmored really sucks. Perhaps its bad to give users false sense of security/
[08:58] <neil_d> ttwio: see #ubuntu+1
[08:58] <ttwio> okay thanks
[08:59] <tyberion> negge: hmmm... well:/ how could I find out?
[08:59] <Flannel> !apparmor | wariskampar
[08:59] <tyberion> negge: No package 'audacious' found
[08:59] <tyberion> Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
[08:59] <negge> neil_d: I think you have to uninstall Lilo first and then install GRUB. I'm not sure about this though as I've never bothered using anything but GRUB so you might wanna Google around before you do it. Make sure you have a live CD at hand in case you mess it up
[08:59] <tyberion> installed software in a non-standard prefix.

[08:59] <kaushal> http://rafb.net/p/R4Q3ER10.html
[08:59] <negge> tyberion: hmm. Try running "apt-get builddep audacious" and see if it works after that
[08:59] <tyberion> E: Invalid operation builddep
[09:00] <negge> tyberion: apt-get build-dep then
[09:00] <neil_d> negge: ok.
[09:00] <tyberion> negge: k downloadin.
[09:02] <tyberion> negge: same prob...
[09:02] <rd1089> hi, is there way to get a list of all active ip address on my local network?
[09:02] <tyberion> negge: checking for Audacious... configure: error: Package requirements (audacious >= 1.4.0 dbus-glib-1 glib-2.0 gobject-2.0) were not met:
[09:03] <negge> tyberion: and you have audacious installed?
[09:03] <tyberion> negge: using it at the moment ;S
[09:03] <jim_p> rd1089: ping every possible ip recursivley from a scipt
[09:03] <rd1089> jim_p, i thought about that, just wanted to check if there was a better way to do it
[09:03] <negge> tyberion: hehe okay
[09:04] <negge> guess it's in a weird path then. Did you install it using apt?
[09:04] <jim_p> rd1089: let me look it up. i have the huge amount of 2 ips here
[09:04] <l337ingDisorder> anyone know a way to use an .AVI file as the background for gnome-terminal?
[09:05] <SaS`> if my system completely freezes up at random is there anyway i could find a log to attempt to troubleshoot?
[09:05] <l337ingDisorder> (sorta like using xwinwrap to make the desktop a .AVI)
[09:05] <tyberion> negge: yeah, installed it that way... how can I find out the path?
[09:05] <negge> tyberion: I'm not sure.
[09:05] <jim_p> l337ingDisorder: i dont think gnome-terminal (or any other terminal) will give you that option
[09:06] <negge> tyberion: I'm gonna install it just to find out
[09:06] <negge> don't have anything better to do anyway
[09:06] <l337ingDisorder> SaS`: first thing to check with random freezing or random reboots is memory. Boot to an Ubuntu LiveCD and choose the option to test the memory with memtest86+
[09:06] <l337ingDisorder> jim_p: bugger.
[09:06] <tyberion> negge: wow.. thank you very much =)
[09:07] <jim_p> rd1089: the range is supposed to be like from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.255 right?

[09:07] <negge> tyberion: while you're waiting do this: "apt-get install libglib2.0-dev python-gobject-dev libdbus-glib-1-dev

[09:10] <rd1089> jim_p, ya its from 192.168.8.1 - 8.255
[09:10] <negge> illuminate: run the command "lspci | grep VGA" and paste the line here
[09:10] <negge> that'll tell you what chip you got

[09:11] <rd1089> its seems to work
[09:11] <HappyHater> illuminate, run 'gksu displayconfig-gtk' and setup your monitor
[09:12] <tyberion> negge: hrum, so I just edit the config file?
[09:12] <tyberion> negge: and Libs?
[09:12] <negge> tyberion: what parameters do you pass to ./configure?
[09:13] <tyberion> negge just ./configure --enable-audacious=yes
[09:13] <tyberion> for now.
[09:13] <negge> tyberion: try with just "./configure --enable-audacious"
[09:14] <tyberion> No package 'audacious' found
[09:14] <negge> also check which version of audacious you have installed ("apt-cache policy audacious | grep Installed")
[09:14] <illuminate> negge:  It doesnt have my monitor type, but when i choose another monitor type with a res. of 1280 x 1024, i get nothing.  Here is a video of what its doing ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ex6FGwZxO0E )
[09:14] <tyberion> negge:  Installed: 1.5.0-2ubuntu2~hardy1
[09:14] <negge> illuminate: I don't think I can help you
[09:15] <illuminate> hmm, ok.  Thanks man!
[09:15] <HappyHater> illuminate, pick a monitor with similar specs to the one you're using
[09:15] <illuminate> ok, ill do that.
[09:15] <HappyHater> either that or edit xorg.conf manually
[09:16] <illuminate> ok, i think ill have to edit it manually.  Thanks guys!
[09:16] <negge> tyberion: I honestly don't know why it won't find it. I read this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=677846 and it seems like Conky and Audacious have (atleast had) a bit of problems working together
[09:17] <negge> tyberion: then there's this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=585096 , it's a deb file pre-configured, it's for Gutsy but I suppose it should work
[09:18] <HappyHater> illuminate, just make a backup before you start changing it
[09:18] <HappyHater> learned that the hard way...
[09:19] <illuminate> haha, i learned it the hard way with my other linux box.  hehe.
[09:19] <tyberion> negge: hum bud thats an outdated version :(

[09:24] <kaushal> I am not getting any help here
[09:24] <mitchell_ubuntu> can i ask which is the best irc client for ubuntu
[09:24] <mitchell_ubuntu> im using xchat
[09:24] <Enselic> mitchell_ubuntu: I prefer Konversation
[09:24] <HappyHater> whatever works best for you...
[09:24] <tyberion> irssi :p
[09:25] <Enselic> mitchell_ubuntu: that's for KDE, but works fine in GNOME too
[09:25] <mitchell_ubuntu> i like the miranda one
[09:25] <mitchell_ubuntu> lol
[09:25] <HappyHater> xchat has tons of support for scripting, so xchat > *
[09:25] <gnuskool> mitchell_ubuntu: i use a chatzilla addon for firefox, no need to install extra progz
[09:25] <mitchell_ubuntu> btw is it possible to order the alternate cd??
[09:26] <mitchell_ubuntu> i live in South Africa and data rates are expensive so a download is a nono
[09:26] <AlexW> who has setup a dmz befoe
[09:26] <AlexW> virtual dmz*
[09:26] <gnuskool> mitchell_ubuntu: there is a local ubuntu community that can send you the disks
[09:27] <mitchell_ubuntu> how big is the alternate cd? roughly
[09:28] <river> hello
[09:28] <maverick340> ubuntu wont even play examples media !
[09:28] <maverick340> however plays the last fm radio fine
[09:29] <msshams> ﻿difference of kubuntu and ubuntu is only in environment?
[09:29] <maek> mitchell_ubuntu, pretty much the same as the normal disc
[09:29] <mitchell_ubuntu> btw out of curiosity what is the difference between gentoo and ubuntu??
[09:29] <mboman> mitchell_ubuntu: quite a lot
[09:29] <ikonia> mitchell_ubuntu: different distros
[09:30] <gnuskool> mitchell_ubuntu: check these sites http://www.linux.org/groups/southafrica.html
[09:30] <^paradox^> im still trying to get a printer setup to be shared over a network
[09:30] <mboman> mitchell_ubuntu: in Gentoo you will spend a lot of time compiling stuff from sources
[09:30] <^paradox^> after double checking my steps i saw what i was doing wrong. i had selected the wrong computer
[09:30] <mitchell_ubuntu> anyone here from south africa?
[09:30] <maek> Gentoo is just too hard to deal with .. ubuntu is so easy
[09:30] <^paradox^> ive got the right one now but i still need a hand with this
[09:30] <ikonia> mitchell_ubuntu: if you want non-support chatter, join #ubuntu-offtopic
[09:30] <mboman> mitchell_ubuntu: supposed to make it code more optimized, but I haven't seen the real-world benefit of it
[09:30] <mitchell_ubuntu> i deleted windows yesterday
[09:30] <maek> mitchell_ubuntu, Mark Shuttleworth is from South Africa
[09:30] <^paradox^> ok i did new printer
[09:30] <^paradox^> selected windows printer via samba
[09:31] <mitchell_ubuntu> i know that
[09:31] <^paradox^> browsed for smb printer and found it this time on the right computer
[09:31] <^paradox^> hen i verified and it said this print share is accessible
[09:31] <mitchell_ubuntu> but i wanted to ask if what ordinary citizens feel about our new president
[09:31] <gnuskool> mitchell_ubuntu: irc://irc.freenode.net/ubuntu-za thats the SA channel
[09:31] <maverick340> i cant see any of the computers on the network :-/
[09:31] <^paradox^> now im at a dialog where i must choose to select printer from database or provide ppd file. i have the driver cd for the printer. its from here on that im humbly ;-) asking for help
[09:31] <ikonia> mitchell_ubuntu I've just asked you to take off-topic support chat elsewhere
[09:31] <maek> mitchell_ubuntu, how well known is the Ubuntu brand in South Africa ??
[09:31] <ikonia> mitchell_ubuntu: this channel is for ubuntu support questions only
[09:31] <AlexW> who has used ubuntu to setup a dmz
[09:32] <ikonia> maek: please - stop the offtopic chatter
[09:32] <mitchell_ubuntu> KK seeyah all
[09:32] <mboman> I am looking for a C/C++ IDE that allows you to "follow" the source code (ie: if someone calls function foo() I can jump to the source code where function foo() is created)
[09:32] <ikonia> AlexW: many times
[09:32] <mitchell_ubuntu> not very big,
[09:32] <AlexW> ikonia: Lol hello again.
[09:32] <river> hi, I have some problem about ping
[09:32] <ikonia> mboman: thats nothing that will let you follow the source code of compiled code,
[09:32] <river> can anyone help me?
[09:33] <ikonia> mboman: eclipse has some debugging tools
[09:33] <ikonia> river: what's the issue
[09:33] <mboman> ikonia: no, not compiled
[09:33] <mitchell_ubuntu> most of the population need to earn how to turn on a computer first. lol. kk g2g before i get kicked
[09:33] <Stormx2> Hi. I can't seem to kill firefox. killall won't work. kill -9 won't work. what now?
[09:33] <river> my hostname is ncam
[09:33] <^paradox^> im just gonna hang here
[09:33] <maek> ikonia, sidetracked maybe but not off-topic
[09:33] <ikonia> Sonderblade: whats the pid of it
[09:33] <ikonia> maek: it is offtopic
[09:33] <amdpox> Stormx2, try killall -14 firefox
[09:33] <mboman> ikonia: I am trying to get my head around a large OSS project and need something that allows me jump around in the source code
[09:33] <AlexW> ikonia: So whats the general idea, I run vmware/virtualbox/kvm and in this guest i run all my services, then in shorewall i dont allow connection from this dmz to local networks?"
[09:33] <river> root@ncam# ping ncam
[09:33] <river> ping: bad address 'ncam'
[09:33] <river> root@ncam#
[09:33] <river> bad address
[09:33] <river> ^^"
[09:33] <ikonia> mboman eclipse is plausable
[09:34] <amdpox> river, you need it in /etc/hosts I believe
[09:34] <river> i am not familier with irc
[09:34] <AlexW> river, whats in /etc/hostname ?
[09:34] <^paradox^> but i will need a hand
[09:34] <river> can we use whisper?
[09:34] <ikonia> river you need name resolution, I'd make an assumption that you don't have any name resolution setup, so add your hostname with the correct ip address (127.0.0.2 normally safe) to /etc/hosts
[09:34] <river> ncam
[09:34] <maek> ikonia, "so whats everyone doing on the weekend" <<------- off topic  "Ubuntu in South Africa" <<----- sidetracked
[09:34] <ikonia> AlexW: what's the issues again
[09:35] <ikonia> maek: I'm not arguing with you - it's off topic - please drop it
[09:35] <bazhang> maek, please chat elsewhere

[09:36] <AlexW> ikonia: No issue, im just asking if thats the best way to do it, cause i dont want to run two servers, im trying to prevent compromised services gaining access to my local network, ive read up about shorewall, and know how to do it, but i just dont know which is the most realiable tool for running guest os;es
[09:37] <ikonia> AlexW I rate kvm, others would have different opinions
[09:37] <river> http://paste.ubuntu.com/50777/
[09:37] <river> my /etc/hosts
[09:37] <ikonia> river: can you ping 192.168.2.252
[09:37] <river> yes
[09:37] <AlexW> ikonia: I need to have a desktop to run kvm correct?
[09:37] <ikonia> AlexW: no
[09:38] <river> ﻿ikonia: yes, i can ping 192.168.2.252
[09:38] <ikonia> river: and if you type "ping ncam"
[09:38] <vogelscheuche> ahoy everyone... im trying to partition my new hdd...
[09:38] <vogelscheuche> but i want to use the same technology for encryption as i used when installing ubuntu... someone knows what packages i need?
[09:38] <river> root@ncam# ping ncam
[09:38] <river> ping: bad address 'ncam'
[09:38] <river> root@ncam#
[09:38] <river> ﻿ikonia: I got "bad adress"
[09:39] <ikonia> river what about ncam.localdomain
[09:39] <AlexW> Is a "virt-viewer" avaliable for windows :/
[09:39] <river> root@ncam# ping ncam.localdomain
[09:39] <river> ping: bad address 'ncam.localdomain'
[09:39] <river> root@ncam#
[09:39] <river> ikonia: same, "bad adress"
[09:39] <kjs> anyone know of any open source document managment software?
[09:40] <ikonia> kjs: svn ?
[09:40] <AlexW> ikonia: Is a "virt-viewer" avaliable for windows :/
[09:40] <ikonia> AlexW: I don't know ?
[09:40] <ikonia> river: thats most unusual, your two name references are failing
[09:40] <kjs> ikonia: svn ? lol
[09:41] <ikonia> kjs: why is that funny, it's an excellent tool for document managment/versioning
[09:41] <ikonia> river: can you "ping localhost"
[09:41] <river> ikonia: yes, i got a trouble
[09:41] <river> yes

[09:42] <ikonia> river: that doesn't look like ubuntu
[09:42] <river> oh
[09:43] <river> ok, thx
[09:43] <ikonia> river: are you running ubuntu ?
[09:43] <AlexW> river: Are you running ubuntu on a router?
[09:43] <utnubudnai> what should I do with "/elf.h:396: error： expected declaration specifiers or ‘...’ before ‘loff_t"
[09:43] <river> ikonia: no,
[09:43] <ikonia> river then why are you in an ubuntu support channel
[09:43] <^paradox^> im trying to setup a printer to be shared over our network. this pc runs ubuntu 8.04. my wifes pc with the printer runs vista home
[09:43] <river> ikonia: but still linux
[09:43] <ikonia> utnubudnai what are you trying to build
[09:43] <ikonia> river: this is not "linux support" this is ubuntu only support
[09:43] <^paradox^> after double checking my steps i saw what i was doing wrong. i had selected the wrong computer
[09:44] <vogelscheuche> what kind of encryption is used when im installing ubuntu with an encrypted LVM? please halp :/
[09:44] <^paradox^> ive got the right one now but i still need a hand with this
[09:44] <^paradox^> i did new printer
[09:44] <utnubudnai> ikonia, i want to build a simple module!
[09:44] <ikonia> utnubudnai: which module
[09:44] <river> ok, thanks for ur answer
[09:44] <^paradox^> selected windows printer via samba
[09:44] <utnubudnai> ikonia, a module of my own!
[09:44] <^paradox^> browsed for smb printer and found it this time on the right computer
[09:44] <ikonia> utnubudnai: a kernal module
[09:45] <utnubudnai> ikonia, just a test!
[09:45] <utnubudnai> ikonia, yeah!
[09:45] <^paradox^> then i verified and it said this print share is accessible
[09:45] <ikonia> utnubudnai: so you must knwo what you've doing then, why are you asking ?
[09:45] <^paradox^> now im at a dialog where i must choose to select printer from database or provide ppd file. i have the driver cd for the printer. its from here on that im humbly ;-) asking for help
[09:46] <zebraf> Hi, when I move around using the cursor keys in vi the letters abcd, i.e pressing down changes to the letter B - any ideas why this is ;) ?
[09:46] <AlexW> ikonia: So how do you view a virtual guest from another machine
[09:46] <ikonia> utnubudnai: if your writing kernel modules, you must know how to solve that error, or at least understand what it is
[09:46] <ikonia> AlexW: bridge network connection, which sort of defeats the object of your DMZ idea
[09:46] <hateball> ^paradox^: Have you checked if the printer is included in the database?
[09:46] <nero_> Question: Do I need firewall & virus scanner for ubuntu?
[09:46] <Enselic> nero_: nah
[09:46] <ikonia> nero_: your call, depends on your needs
[09:47] <^paradox^> which database?
[09:47] <hateball> !antivirus
[09:47] <utnubudnai> ikonia, but now I don't know it,do you have any ideas?
[09:47] <_coredump_> HUMPPA!
[09:47] <ikonia> utnubudnai: you did know - but now you don't
[09:47] <utnubudnai> what?
[09:47] <nero_> i just found firestarter recommend me to install it?
[09:47] <ikonia> utnubudnai: you've made a call to something in your code - but you don't know what/how ?
[09:47] <ikonia> utnubudnai: tell the truth - have you wrote this kernel module
[09:47] <Enselic> nero_: since you're asking, no
[09:47] <ikonia> utnubudnai: or is it someone elses
[09:47] <^paradox^> oh i know what u mean
[09:47] <webfarmer> hey guys, I know this is isn't specific to ubuntu, but you guys are smart - I've deleted a bunch of files on one of my hard drives on a windows platform - what is the best way to recover files?
[09:48] <ikonia> webfarmer: thats nothing to do with ubuntu
[09:48] <^paradox^> mines psc 1110, but it only goes to 1100
[09:48] <nero_> But how can I controll which programm connects to which server?
[09:48] <bazhang> webfarmer, ##windows
[09:48] <ikonia> webfarmer: please take that to an appropraite channel
[09:48] <webfarmer> windows recovery doesn't work
[09:48] <RoflCoptr> ask in another channel
[09:48] <HappyHater> it's windows, who cares
[09:48] <ikonia> HappyHater: thats not the attitude
[09:48] <^paradox^> hateball: anyways ive got the driver cd
[09:49] <^paradox^> but no idea what id be looking for on it
[09:49] <utnubudnai> ikonia, no it's my own!very simple!
[09:49] <HappyHater> it is for those of us who don't use it
[09:49] <ikonia> utnubudnai: so you've made an include to elf.h then
[09:49] <ikonia> utnubudnai: you may want to join #kernel for kernel intergration help with your own modules
[09:49] <webfarmer> I hate windows, but I need to get these files back
[09:49] <bazhang> webfarmer, this is the wrong place to ask
[09:50] <ikonia> webfarmer: sorry - this is not the place for windows support
[09:50] <Geeth> paradox, what pc is the printer hooked up to?.
[09:50] <webfarmer> it's not windows support
[09:50] <utnubudnai> ikonia, yeah,good! thank you!
[09:50] <webfarmer> it's file recovery
[09:50] <ikonia> webfarmer: enough now
[09:50] <HappyHater> webfarmer, so google it
[09:50] <ikonia> webfarmer: it's nothing to do with ubuntu, so not appropriate in this channel.
[09:50] <webfarmer> I have
[09:50] <^paradox^> its on my wifes pc that runs vista home
[09:50] <webfarmer> got some really weird software packages
[09:50] <webfarmer> even went on download.com and those programs help for nothing
[09:51] <ikonia> webfarmer: last warning - stop asking/discussing it
[09:51] <^paradox^> i already found it on her pc
[09:51] <dwa_> anyone else having thunderbird issues this morning?
[09:52] <ikonia> dwa_ in what way
[09:52] <^paradox^> now im at the dialog asking for ppd
[09:52] <nero_> robot/ user SecurityTest just sent me: <SecurityTest> dcc send startkeylogger 0 0 0
[09:52] <webfarmer> ikonia there's no windows room
[09:52] <hateball> ^paradox^: a .ppd file. sometimes you have to install it in windows and then pull it from the windows dir.... but easiest is just checking the manufacturers website
[09:52] <ikonia> webfarmer: ##windows
[09:52] <^paradox^> i dont whether to get it from database or driver cd
[09:52] <ikonia> nero_: report it to freenode staff if your not happy with it
[09:53] <dwa_> ikonia: i can't type new emails
[09:53] <dwa_> ikonia: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mozilla-thunderbird/+bug/274672
[09:53] <ikonia> dwa_: you'll need to be more descriptive than that
[09:53] <^paradox^> what type of file am i looking for?
[09:53] <dwa_> i experience the same bug
[09:54] <ikonia> dwa_ what server are you connecting to, is it not connecting to the server and waiting for a time out
[09:54] <^paradox^> i mean what extension might it have or how will i recognize it?
[09:54] <ikonia> dwa_: selecting inbox makes it connect to the server
[09:54] <dwa_> i can read my inbox messages just fine
[09:54] <dwa_> so it's connecting to my server
[09:54] <ikonia> dwa_ no - thats not what I meant
[09:54] <ikonia> dwa_: your inbox is cached locally
[09:55] <dwa_> no, i use imap
[09:55] <fk> hi- i have 20 boxes running xp sharing a folder, i have trouble because of xp limitation on the nmber of connection. i want to switch the shared folder to alinux box. what is the minimum hardware requirment if 20 boxes will connect to it at the same it (and that box will also be used as a workstation - it needs a gui)
[09:55] <webfarmer> ikonia be great if they gave me the attention you gave me
[09:55] <ikonia> yes you inbox is cached locally
[09:55] <ikonia> webfarmer: please stop now
[09:55] <ikonia> dwa_ thunderbird caches inbox even with imap
[09:55] <ikonia> dwa_: get someone to send you a new mail and see if it comes through
[09:55] <dwa_> ikonia: ok, didn't know that. I already tested that and the mail arrives fine
[09:56] <dwa_> my account works just fine with outlook (in my virtual machine)
[09:56] <ikonia> dwa_ forget other clients - just concentrate on thunderbird
[09:56] <ikonia> dwa_: just because outlook can connect doesn't mean thunderbird can
[09:56] <ikonia> dwa_: close thunderbird, re-open it, don't cliek on inbox and try to hit "new message"
[09:57] <nero_> what's a good theme to get for ubuntu? I'm looking for something simple & clean
[09:57] <RudyValencia> nero_: try some of the other default ones.
[09:57] <bazhang> nero_, check gnome-look.org
[09:57] <ikonia> nero_: gnome-look.org
[09:57] <nero_> thx all
[09:57] <dwa_> ikonia: not working. I'd like to point out i also get a xul error when i right click on my toolbar and select customize
[09:58] <ikonia> dwa_ I suggest you add that to the bug
[09:58] <dwa_> ikonia: will do
[09:59] <dwa_> ikonia: i don't think something is wrong my with settings or server connections. It only started this morning after i apt-get upgraded.
[10:00] <ikonia> dwa_ fine, put that int he bug report
[10:00] <dwa_> it installed a few firefox packages (including xulrunner)
[10:00] <ikonia> dwa_: that bug reprot has no meat in it, your telling me all this detail, put the detail in the bug report
[10:00] <dwa_> it's not my bug report
[10:00] <ikonia> so ?
[10:00] <dwa_> i linked because i have the same issues
[10:00] <ikonia> dwa_: your suffering the same issue, add to it
[10:00] <dwa_> i'll ad a comment
[10:00] <ikonia> as much detail as possible
[10:01] <ikonia> as much "fact as possible
[10:01] <ikonia> webfarmer: any reason you've not been in ##windows and your still lurking here ?

[10:07] <perlsyntax> where can i find the pidgin deb package for the pidgin 2.5.1?
[10:07] <MaxJays> i rightclick, then kill process
[10:07] <ikonia> nero_: you don't
[10:07] <CoW_fs> nobody know globus toolkit 4?
[10:08] <ikonia> perlsyntax: check if it's in the ubuntu repo's
[10:08] <nero_> program asks me for root to update.
[10:08] <ikonia> perlsyntax: use the package manager to search for it
[10:08] <ikonia> nero_: put in your user password
[10:08] <perlsyntax> i have no lucky with that
[10:08] <ikonia> perlsyntax: then it's not packaged up by ubuntu yet
[10:08] <hateball> perlsyntax: try getdeb.net if you _really_ must have it
[10:08] <nero_> when i click update it simply displays the box: you need root. No option for pw.
[10:09] <ikonia> nero_: as your not responding to your pm's - please don't pm me in future, it's not considerered polite to randomly pm people in the channel
[10:09] <hateball> perlsyntax: but thats not supported by ubuntu
[10:09] <ikonia> nero_: what are you trying to update
[10:09] <nero_> ClamTk Virus Scanner
[10:09] <ikonia> nero_: run it with gksudo
[10:09] <ikonia> nero_: gksudo $command
[10:10] <vallhalla81> i just had a msg pop up in mirc program it said ﻿dcc send startkeylogger 0 0 0 should this hapen?
[10:10] <LimCore> is AppArmor for noobs?
[10:10] <vallhalla81> mirc should read my irc
[10:10] <Guest80645> hello
[10:10] <JonathanD> vallhalla81: pleae don't repeat that here.
[10:10] <ikonia> vallhalla81: thats nothing to do with ubuntu, please take that to #freenode if your not happy
[10:11] <JonathanD> vallhalla81: it's part of an exploit and is being dealt with.
[10:11] <ikonia> LimCore: n00bs is not a nice term, anyone can use appamour if they read the docs
[10:11] <JonathanD> no need to take it to #freenode, we're already on it.
[10:11] <ikonia> JonathanD: thank you
[10:11] <HappyHater> old exploit
[10:11] <vallhalla81> ok thank you for the info ﻿﻿﻿JonathanD:
[10:12] <LimCore> ikonia: I ment, is it bad software that gives false sense of security
[10:12] <ikonia> LimCore no, it's not
[10:12] <ikonia> LimCore as you've used it before, and your in the appamour channel, you know about this, so as usuanl, please don't start a troll session
[10:12] <gabbler> hi can someone tell me the free tool to keep folders in sync that i can also use across the network, i think it is something like unison?
[10:12] <LimCore> ikonia: but it seems it is - ie http://securityblog.org/brindle/2006/04/19/security-anti-pattern-path-based-access-control/ and others
[10:12] <vallhalla81> ﻿JonathanD: is it any thing i should worrie about or can self fix?
[10:12] <bazhang> gabbler, rsync?
[10:13] <JonathanD> vallhalla81: don't worry about it. if it affected you, you would have been disconnected :)
[10:13] <ikonia> LimCore: this is your one and only warning for today - you know what appamour is, you know this is not an ubuntu support question, so either participate with the channel, or don't bother at all
[10:13] <vallhalla81> ﻿JonathanD: ah thats ok then:)
[10:13] <nero_> ikonia: what am I doing wrong? nero@nero-laptop:~$ gskudo$ '/home/nero/Desktop/clamtk.desktop'
[10:13] <nero_> bash: gskudo$: command not found
[10:14] <ikonia> nero_: are you using ubuntu or kubuntu
[10:14] <gabbler> bazhang, thanks i knew that one but that isn't it :)
[10:14] <nero_> ubuntu
[10:14] <ikonia> nero_: gksudo - sorry
[10:14] <ikonia> nero_: my typo
[10:14] <nero_> thx
[10:16] <gabbler> bazhang, looked at the rsync page and it goes to unison, strange google failed
[10:17] <bartmon> Hey! How do I thank a person for his post on ubuntuforums.org?
[10:17] <AdvoWork> hi there, im trying to setup a bridge, and ive restarted networking and it says device br0 already exists; cant create bridge with the same name, where would this be exactly?
[10:19] <pppZero> does 8.04 use pulseaudio now?
[10:20] <ikonia> always has
[10:20] <pppZero> thought so, theres just nothing in the audio menu, so i was lost
[10:21] <AlexW23> Who has experience with bridging
[10:22] <AlexW23> My question, why does the bridge i created take the same ip from dchp as the network interface it is bridged off
[10:22] <AlexW23> If you need my conf let me know
[10:23] <pppZero> i've never used bridging, but i'd say at a guess its getting the same lease because its sending the same MAC address
[10:26] <CaptJager> after 3 days and 5 differnent versions I now have filemaker pro working with wine
[10:27] <krishna_> I am facing audio problems in.04 ubuntu 8
[10:27] <krishna_> I  tried with soft phones like twinkle, zoiper, counterpath etc. but none of them are working
[10:28] <CaptJager> now anyone know how to remove an item in wine so it is not in the startup menu I tried uninstalling but doesnt work
[10:28] <negge> CaptJager: did you use Wines own uninstall utility?
[10:28] <krishna_> anyone know which soft phone shud i use for ubuntu 8.04?
[10:28] <CaptJager> nope
[10:28] <ikonia> krishna_: any that are in the ubuntu repos
[10:28] <CaptJager> where is that
[10:28] <negge> CaptJager: that's the way you're supposed to uninstall Wine programs
[10:28] <negge> CaptJager: it's directly under the Wine menu
[10:28] <ikonia> CaptJager: you just removed it by deleting it off the disk ?
[10:29] <CaptJager> yes I did try that
[10:29] <ikonia> CaptJager: it's in the wine menu - probably next to the icon you want to remove
[10:29] <afallenhope> hey having a small issue installing virtualbox. was wondering if anyone could give me a pointer or a direction as to where I can go
[10:29] <ikonia> !virtualbox
[10:29] <afallenhope> right..
[10:29] <afallenhope> however, the OSE doesn't support USB?
[10:30] <ikonia> afallenhope: I don't beleive it can do hardware interaction
[10:30] <ikonia> afallenhope: but I'm not %100
[10:30] <afallenhope> ikonia, the non free edition can..
[10:30] <ikonia> afallenhope: then use that
[10:30] <prabu> any 1 know how to set default OS ?
[10:30] <ikonia> prabu: in what sense ?
[10:30] <magnetron> afallenhope, virtualbox-ose, the version we are allowed to distribute, has that feature removed
[10:30] <afallenhope> PUEL (Personal Use & Evaluation License) Version
[10:30] <negge> prabu: you mean in the bootloader?
[10:31] <prabu> yes
[10:31] <negge> afallenhope: if you want USB support you should install VMware server instead
[10:31] <negge> prabu: you have to edit your /boot/grub/menu.lst file
[10:31] <afallenhope> negge, yeah.. but VMware has issues with the keyboard and whatnot
[10:31] <negge> afallenhope: I never had any issue
[10:31] <CaptJager> I tried that but errors out says the wizard was interupted before filemaker pro 8 could be completely installed but I am trying to remove it
[10:31] <prabu> how to edit tat ? im new to ubuntu
[10:31] <ikonia> prabu: you edit /boot/grub/menu.lst, there is a line in there that says "default" then a number, the number relates to the position on your boot menu, eg: default 0 would be the first os in the list
[10:32] <x3on> hey guys, i'm having trouble using my webcam. The camera is installed and works fine, and appears in the kopete config window, but when i try to "send webcam" to someone nothing happens
[10:32] <afallenhope> negge, yeah.. apparently if you don't switch out using the "CTRL + ALT" you jack up the keymap
[10:32] <afallenhope> this is the error I get: http://pastebin.com/m4f676921
[10:32] <negge> afallenhope: that's weird. I must say I haven't used the server version on Ubuntu, but Workstation 6 has worked just fine
[10:33] <afallenhope> negge, yeah for Windows because I don't think there's workstation on Linux
[10:33] <ikonia> afallenhope: thats a kernel driver conflict
[10:33] <negge> afallenhope: yes there is, I just told you I've tried it
[10:33] <the_gamer> hi folks
[10:33] <afallenhope> ikonia, hmm how would I fix it?
[10:33] <prog077> I have RAM 256  and I want to download a Linux distribution?
[10:33] <prabu> brb . will try tat
[10:33] <the_gamer> i can't find mdb2 anywhere in the repos or in the synaptic packetmanager. how to install it best?
[10:33] <ikonia> afallenhope well, my first question is why are you installing a package out of a deb on your desktop ?
[10:34] <afallenhope> ikonia, because I need USB support
[10:34] <prabu> do i hav to run tat in terminal ?
[10:34] <ikonia> afallenhope: ok - so your using the propriatary version, which has paid support as I recall
[10:34] <negge> prog077: if you want something with the Ubuntu flavor you should probably go for Xubuntu
[10:34] <fallore> vlc media player is downloading very slowly from the package manager. i'd like to see if i can get it online faster, but i don't know what would be easiest for me to install once i've downloaded it. what should i look for?
[10:34] <afallenhope> ikonia, could be. however, figured someone could help
[10:35] <ikonia> afallenhope: best to use the official support as it looks like it conflicts with the versions in the ubuntu repo,
[10:35] <negge> prabu: open up a terminal and write "gksu gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst", then enter your password and it will open in a notepad-like program. Then you just make the changes and save the file
[10:35] <ikonia> afallenhope: make sure the version from the repo is removed before using the official one
[10:35] <afallenhope> ikonia, did that.
[10:35] <prabu> ok , brb
[10:36] <ikonia> afallenhope: an associated packages such as the kernel module package
[10:36] <prog077> ؟؟؟؟؟
[10:36] <ikonia> afallenhope: eg: virtualbox-ose-modules-2.6.24-19-generic
[10:36] <afallenhope> oh
[10:37] <ikonia> afallenhope: if you read the error you'll see it wants to overwrite the module that is provided by virtualbox-ose-modules-2.6.24-19-generic so removing that package should fix it
[10:37] <vallhalla81> !vm
[10:37] <afallenhope> vmware is pretty much the worse I've tried
[10:37] <AdvoWork> when you do ifconfig  what are you seeing, ie wheres the details stored that come out of ifconfig, is it ONLY /network/interfaces?
[10:38] <afallenhope> dpkg - warning: while removing virtualbox-ose-modules-2.6.24-19-generic, directory `/lib/modules/2.6.24-19-generic/misc' not empty so not removed.
[10:38] <ikonia> AdvoWork the config for that is in /etc/network/interfaces
[10:38] <gharz> hi, guys.
[10:38] <ikonia> afallenhope so empty it or use the force options
[10:39] <zebraf> Hi, when I move around using the cursor keys in vi the letters abcd, i.e pressing down changes to the letter B - any ideas why this is ;) ?
[10:39] <ikonia> zebraf the keys to move aruond in vi are ghjkl
[10:39] <AdvoWork> may sound a silly question, but can you basically restore an ubuntu pc back to factory default? ie everything, mainly everything todo with network connections and so on?
[10:39] <afallenhope> lol I'm retarded.. that has my vmware stuff in it
[10:39] <the_gamer> the search on help.ubuntu.com can't find anything. is there a package for mdb2 or is mdb2 included in another package?
[10:39] <gharz> i'm having a problem with my external hard drive...if i run lsusb i get a result -> Bus 004  Device 003 : ID 04b4:6830 Cypress Semiconductor  Corp. USB-2.0  IDE adapter... but if i run fdisk -l it doesn't show. what could be the problem here? your help is much appreciated.
[10:40] <ikonia> AdvoWork not really no
[10:40] <fallore> how do i pause or stop a download that i'm apt-getting through terminal?
[10:40] <gharz> ctrl-C
[10:40] <ikonia> fallore: don't think you can, other than control z it
[10:40] <ikonia> gharz: no !
[10:40] <ikonia> gharz: that won't pause it
[10:40] <gharz> ok
[10:40] <gharz> ikonia, it doesn't pause. it just stop it. :_
[10:40] <fallore> nit ot
[10:40] <fallore> but it'll be okay* ?
[10:40] <ikonia> gharz that terminates the application
[10:40] <kyhros> u must first mount the usb hard druve
[10:40] <gharz> ﻿ i'm having a problem with my external hard drive...if i run lsusb i get a result -> Bus 004  Device 003 : ID 04b4:6830 Cypress Semiconductor  Corp. USB-2.0  IDE adapter... but if i run fdisk -l it doesn't show. what could be the problem here? your help is much appreciated.
[10:41] <fallore> it's downloading at 5kb/s, something must be wrong
[10:41] <Bravo_52> ðóññêèå åñòü?
[10:41] <kyhros> gharz: u must first mount
[10:41] <ikonia> fallore: mirror probably running slow ?
[10:41] <gharz> kyhros: i'm just can't figure out what /dev/??? is my external hard drive.
[10:41] <zebraf> ikonia yep the arrows used to work though, same SSH client etc too -
[10:41] <ikonia> kyhros: he doesn't need to mount it to use fdisk
[10:41] <gharz> kyhros: it doesn't automount
[10:41] <kyhros> dmesg |tail
[10:41] <ikonia> zebraf: term caps changed
[10:42] <gharz> ikonia, fdisk -l doesn't detect or show the my ext hard drive /dev/??? if i would have known then it would be easy to mount it.
[10:42] <gharz> kyhros: hold on... i'll dmesg tail it
[10:42] <afallenhope> !virtualbox
[10:43] <afallenhope> ikonia, fixed it ;)
[10:43] <LimCore> is there some guide for making ubuntu desktop secure?
[10:43] <kyhros> true true
[10:43] <gharz> ikonia: the 1st line sayd [ ###.####] end_request: I/O error, dev sdc, sector 0
[10:43] <ikonia> LimCore there are some threads on the forum that offer high level basics
[10:44] <ikonia> gharz: is there a partition table on it ?
[10:44] <knut> is there a way to use animated *.icns flies with ubuntu?
[10:44] <ikonia> gharz: fidsk -l /dev/sdc ?
[10:44] <gharz> ikonia: 2nd line [ ###.#####] sd 3:0:0:1: [sdc] Result: hostbyte-DID_ERROR
[10:44] <knut> files
[10:44] <gharz> ikonia: hold on.
[10:44] <gharz> ikonia: no result when i run fdisk -l /dev/sdc
[10:45] <ikonia> gharz: something wrong with the drive, I don't know that the hostbyte-DID_ERROR is
[10:45] <gharz> so that means the hard drive is useless... :((
[10:45] <LimCore> what is current state of apparmor in ubuntu? Does it try to, uhm, secure, itnernet-facing applications like kmail, irc clients, etc? Or only given deamons etc?
[10:46] <LimCore> some wikipage I found says it doesnt yet secure (provide profiles) for non internet facing client applications?
[10:46] <LimCore> s/for non/for/
[10:46] <ikonia> LimCore I would agree with that, although, I'm not %100
[10:46] <Ziroday> LimCore: iirc, apparmor has also been disbanded
[10:46]  * LimCore facepalms, and tries selinux
[10:46] <ikonia> Ziroday: thats interesting
[10:47] <Ziroday> ikonia: yeah, I believe novell let it go. Anyway its offtopic :)
[10:47] <ikonia> LimCore: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AppArmor
[10:47] <LimCore> ikonia: well I obviously read that, its like first hit on google
[10:48] <ikonia> LimCore: I didn't know if you'd read it or not
[10:49] <prabu> how to edit boot menu ?
[10:49] <kyhros> with an editor :)
[10:49] <ikonia> prabu: use a text editor, try gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
[10:49] <prabu> will try tat . brb
[10:50] <LimCore> how to use pax/NX and randomization security things on ubuntu? I see chpax and pax-utils, so I presume the kernel is set to work with that?
[10:50] <ikonia> LimCore: a fellow user followed this link https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/apparmor.html
[10:50] <ikonia> LimCore: may provide additional use/examples
[10:50] <ikonia> LimCore: for pax you may have to mod probe the module in, don't think it's loaded by default
[10:51] <knut> does anybody know why my elisa is flickering when i use compiz?
[10:51] <Cyranix0r> you know whats really a shame
[10:51] <Cyranix0r> X11 gets higher resolution at higher color depth on this machine than windows does :(
[10:51] <LimCore> ikonia: ok; and are programs ready to work with it? Programs should be builded with -fPIC for that... hmm but afair this is anyway tlaways the case on amd64?
[10:51] <LimCore> Cyranix0r: :(  ---> :)
[10:52] <Cyranix0r> oh yeah, I'm not complaining :P~
[10:52] <ikonia> LimCore: I'd certainly expect it on amd64 as you said, not sure about 32bit stuff, maybe pick a few random deb files and have a look at the spec file
[10:52] <levene> has the latest firefox update broken it? when i type an address in the url bar i get an incomprehensible error message, and the page doesn't load
[10:52] <Cyranix0r> Its just kindof a shame
[10:52] <prabu> its not working ikonia
[10:52] <LimCore> levene: I got it too
[10:52] <ikonia> prabu whats the problem
[10:52] <Ziroday> levene: 8.04?
[10:52] <levene> ASSERT: *** Search: _installLocation: engine has no file!
[10:52] <levene> Ziroday: LimCore yes
[10:52] <LimCore> levene: I entered something to search bar, and then firefox showd tiny 10x10 pixel window (??) and hanged.  After restart it works
[10:53] <levene> LimCore: hm, i just did restart it
[10:53] <LimCore> levene: I guess: just restart firefoxes after upgrade
[10:53] <levene> LimCore: i'll try again
[10:53] <prabu> i run tat in terminal it asked my passwork . i did . then nothin happens
[10:53] <LimCore> ikonia: perhaps its a bug, that installer of firefox upgrade should force it to restart
[10:53] <prabu> password
[10:53] <LimCore> or ask is it ok to do so
[10:53] <levene> LimCore: right, working now. phew!
[10:53] <LimCore> levene: join #ubuntu-bugs
[10:54] <levene> LimCore: i had to killall firefox, it wasn't closed although all the windows were closed
[10:54] <levene> LimCore: sorry, back to work now :)
[10:54] <LimCore> argggggggh
[10:54] <LimCore> why always dpkg by default cuts packages names
[10:54] <LimCore> dpkg -l
[10:54] <levene> LimCore: you can fix that i think
[10:54] <Ziroday> levene: LimCore: did your error look like this? http://launchpadlibrarian.net/17973720/firefox_start.png
[10:54] <ikonia> prabu try this, open a password and do "sudo vi /boot/grub/menu.lst"
[10:54] <LimCore> yaeh, COLS=200
[10:55] <prabu> where to type tat ? im new to ubuntu ikonia
[10:55] <LimCore> Ziroday: no, I got 10x10 pixels window, with just part of title visible "F..." - firefox? and I restarted then
[10:55] <levene> Ziroday: more or less. mine started the same, but looked denser i think
[10:55] <ikonia> prabu: there did you type gksudo gedit /boor/grub/menu.lst
[10:55] <ikonia> "where"
[10:55] <Ziroday> levene: LimCore: thanks
[10:56] <prabu> ok . will try
[10:56] <levene> anyway, thanks all. ttfn
[10:56] <ikonia> prabu: where did you type "gksudo /boot/grub/menu.lst"
[10:57] <prabu> it says command not found :(
[10:57] <gharz> bye room
[10:57] <ikonia> prabu where are you typing it
[10:58] <prabu> in terminal
[10:58] <LimCore> Ziroday: add your description to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/274725
[10:58] <ikonia> prabu showme the command your tying, exaclty
[10:59] <Ziroday> LimCore: its not my bug report :), just something I saw that seemed similar
[10:59] <prabu> gksudo /boot/grub/menu.lst
[11:00] <r2r> !ebox | r2r
[11:00] <ikonia> prabu: thats not what I todl you to type
[11:01] <aar> Hi, guarddog is not displaying the tick boxes next to each of the programs, so I can't specify what to allow / disallow. I suspect it's a permissions issue (i.e. chmod or chown problem). Any clues on what file / directory I should tweak?
[11:01] <ikonia> sudo vi /boot/grub/menu.lst" is what I told you type
[11:01] <prabu> got it :) thanks ikonia
[11:01] <prabu> thanks very much
[11:02] <ikonia> no problem
[11:04] <r2r> ikonia: hello do you mind if i borrow some your time?
[11:04] <ikonia> r2r what's up ?
[11:04] <LimCore> what application will try to haxor my box or crash it? apart from the crashme test
[11:04] <airtonix> how does one tell which version of openobex i have
[11:05] <ikonia> LimCore: look at stress test that has utils on it
[11:05] <ikonia> airtonix how did you install it
[11:05] <LimCore> ok but this is aimed at stressing by load, not by trying actuall exploits... I was thinking like, some milw0rm or something compilation + scripted test
[11:05] <airtonix> ikonia, via apt-get
[11:05] <r2r> ikonia: i have this problem that when ubuntu is deployed for staff (in on office) many people are not happy with the DE can i make my spin with new settings ?
[11:06] <ikonia> LimCore stresstest cd has a ton of great tools
[11:06] <ikonia> airtonix dpk -l | grep openobex
[11:06] <LimCore> stresstest cd..?  I ment an application to test my ubuntu system, are we talking about same thing? Not some live cd with test tools to test my hardware
[11:06] <r2r> limCore: would you mind if you pm me your message please
[11:06] <ikonia> r2r you mean the compiz cube ?
[11:07] <ikonia> LimCore I'm saying look at the stress test live cd - it has tools on it, that you can then install on your ubuntu box, as the tools are very good
[11:07] <r2r> ikonia: no shortcuts menu bar locations little tweaks
[11:07] <LimCore> ok
[11:07] <ikonia> !theme > r2r
[11:07] <airtonix> ikonia, ok result is :  1.3-3ubuntu1  ... is this the version of the package or the lib itself?
[11:07] <ikonia> r2r: you can apply themese and styles
[11:07] <Q_Continuum> Okay, what's up with Evolution's failure to work with spam for me, running 8.04?  SpamAssassin IS installed.  Is there some magical trick?
[11:07] <ikonia> airtonix thats the package but it normally links in witht he version
[11:08] <airtonix> ikonia, cheers
[11:08] <ikonia> Q_Continuum: have you set evolution to use spamassisn
[11:08] <Q_Continuum> Yeah.
[11:08] <r2r> ikonia: its almost impossible to do that (iam sorry but please ask before pm thankyou very much)
[11:08] <Q_Continuum> And I have the package installed.  Yet it still won't work.
[11:08] <ikonia> r2r I've not pm'd you ?
[11:09] <r2r> ikonia: mm.. ok you told ubottu to iam i right?
[11:09] <ikonia> r2r yes, ubottu sent you a link
[11:09] <airtonix> r2r, the bot here did it's a quick way to divuldge information
[11:09] <ikonia> r2r: why is it impossible to use the themes
[11:09] <Q_Continuum> Crap, I don't have that migrated over to my new HD.
[11:09] <skycrane> 2
[11:09] <fallore> every 10 minutes my screen goes black and i have to move the mouse to wake it back up. i changed the screensaver idle time or whatever to 1 hour from 10 minutes but still the same. how do i make it stay on while i watch a video?
[11:09] <Q_Continuum> Thinking about just going back to Thunderbird, as I no longer need PIM support (being that ATT is being retarded with Palms and I stopped using one)
[11:10] <r2r> ikonia: i really cant manually change themes for evrybody there atlest 50 systems
[11:10] <r2r> !ubottu NO PM
[11:10] <AlexW> i need help with some bridging/networking please see http://pastebin.com/d3608f146
[11:10] <dr_willis> r2r,  why not let them change their own themes?
[11:10] <ikonia> r2r then look at enterprise managment tools, like varients, nfs mounted home dir's, etc etc
[11:11] <x3on> does anyone know a way to show someone their webcam besides using Kopete?
[11:11] <r2r> dr_willis: they are pure windows users they dont even know how to run openofice
[11:11] <ikonia> AlexW read the kvm documentation it explains bridging
[11:11] <airtonix> r2r, there is a tool in the repos to allow you to make simultaneous changes across multiple systems
[11:11] <mecha> anyone know how to make emerald on by default when the system boots?
[11:11]  * dr_willis is big on 'educating users' not 'dumbing down systems' 
[11:12] <OdnsRvns> how do i put directx on my ubuntu
[11:12] <ikonia> OdnsRvns directX is a windows technology not available for uubnut
[11:12] <airtonix> r2r, dont know how to use openoffice? thats a rather long stretch... give them more credit than that or just sya they don't want to learn
[11:12] <ikonia> ubuntu
[11:12] <dr_willis> OdnsRvns,  why do you want to? or think you need to? wine normally does not need DIrectX
[11:12] <r2r> airtonix: i'd love that any name or reference
[11:12] <J-_> mecha:  Go into sessions in the menu, and make a new command, "emerald --replace" without quotes.
[11:12] <r2r> OdnsRvns, games right?
[11:12] <airtonix> r2r, one sec
[11:12] <OdnsRvns> yea i am in wine and trying to install COD4 and it ask for DX
[11:13] <OdnsRvns> i know there is a patch i just dont know where i read it at
[11:13] <ikonia> r2r: NFS mounted home drives and read only gnome profiles would manage your setup very well
[11:13] <AlexW> ikonia: That is not what i want
[11:13] <ikonia> OdnsRvns: join #winehq for specific wine info
[11:13] <ikonia> AlexW: what do you want then
[11:13] <Hydromethod> Hi there, i have a secondary harddrive connected to my motherboard, ntfs(win HD), how do i format it with ubuntu via the bash shell?
[11:13] <ikonia> AlexW: looking at that diagram thats exactly what you want
[11:13] <r2r> OdnsRvns, COD4 try cedja or something like that
[11:13] <OdnsRvns> no under wine right now
[11:13] <airtonix> r2r, i think it is called clusterssh
[11:13] <mecha> J-_:  thank you so much. i hated doind the --replace every time i boot
[11:13] <OdnsRvns> i have cedega
[11:13] <AlexW> ikonia: Do you mean https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM
[11:14] <ikonia> AlexW: no
[11:14] <ikonia> AlexW: I mean the kvm docs
[11:14] <airtonix> r2r: clusterssh : administer multiple ssh or rsh shells simultaneously
[11:14] <ikonia> AlexW: http://kvm.qumranet.com/kvmwiki
[11:14] <OdnsRvns> but im not using cedga they havent gotr my login for it yet
[11:14] <mecha> J-_: can i do the same with quicksynergy to connect to a synergy server?
[11:14] <r2r> OdnsRvns, under wine hm.. this is a wild idea try installing directx under WINE (it is illegal) but if you have a windows system add directx dlls to it
[11:14] <ikonia> OdnsRvns #winehq will help you with your specific questions
[11:14] <J-_> mecha:  Not sure, sorry. :)
[11:15] <r2r> !clusterssh | r2r
[11:15] <mecha> anyone here use quicksynergy?
[11:15] <airtonix> r2r, you could always (as ikona suggested) mount a central folder on a server that is symlinked to each users ~/.themes , ~/.icons , ~/.fonts
[11:15] <Hydromethod> anyone know how to format a second harddrive via the bash shell?
[11:15] <ikonia> Hydromethod what file system to you want
[11:15] <Hydromethod> either ither
[11:15] <airtonix> Hydromethod, ther eis a guid on the ubuntu help website that details this process
[11:15] <ikonia> Hydromethod: I suggest you use gparted as a visual tool
[11:15] <OdnsRvns> no einr changes system paths as well to like instead of c:/programs its .c:/programs
[11:16] <ikonia> Hydromethod: either ??? there are many
[11:16] <Hydromethod> no id like to do this via bash
[11:16] <r2r> airtonix: iam really greatful to you clusterssh does the job
[11:16] <ikonia> OdnsRvns: #winehq is the correct support place
[11:16] <AlexW> ikonia: Is this hwat i wantg http://kvm.qumranet.com/kvmwiki/Networking
[11:16] <Hydromethod> its my home file server, i use ssh to access it
[11:16] <OdnsRvns> ikonia no one is talking to you
[11:16] <OdnsRvns> chill bro
[11:16] <airtonix> Hydromethod, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingANewHardDrive
[11:16] <ikonia> OdnsRvns this is not an ubuntu issue
[11:16] <Hydromethod> but i have two HD's (one running ubuntu) and the second one has windows installed - which i want to format
[11:16] <ikonia> OdnsRvns: so #winehq is the correct place for support
[11:16] <ikonia> Hydromethod do you know the device file for your second disk ?
[11:17] <Hydromethod> its /dev/hdb1
[11:17] <r2r> OdnsRvns, mind your language if you will you have been given an advie not a command
[11:17] <OdnsRvns> its an install question on hardy how is that not ubuntu
[11:17] <ikonia> AlexW: thats a good doc
[11:17] <ikonia> OdnsRvns: no it's not, its a wine install question and a wine application issue
[11:17] <airtonix> r2r, if you want to control the themes then i would look at centralising those folders via nfs ...somehow
[11:17] <kjdro> hello there how can i see a workgroup from a windows network ???
[11:17] <ikonia> Hydromethod: ok - so for example, if you wanted to do ext3 you would do "sudo mke2fs -j /dev/hdb1"
[11:17] <r2r> OdnsRvns, please stop pm me if you can
[11:18] <AlexW> ikonia: "You are ready to take a huge performance hit." , would you agree with this?
[11:18] <Hydromethod> ah ok, thanks ikonia
[11:18] <OdnsRvns> ???
[11:18] <r2r> OdnsRvns, sorry let me refrase it :please stop ,pm me if you can
[11:18] <ikonia> AlexW Hmmmm, yes and no, let me think of a way to respond to that properly
[11:18] <OdnsRvns> lol
[11:18] <airtonix> Hydromethod, i recommend you look at that page i linked, it has more info you need
[11:18] <Hydromethod> sorry i missed the link airtonix, ill scroll
[11:18] <afallenhope> ikonia, got it workin ^_^ just had to reboot lmao. added somethign to my fstab though :-s
[11:19] <OdnsRvns> whats the command to kill a window
[11:19] <airtonix> Hydromethod, the help.ubuntu.com/community website should not be underestimated
[11:19] <r2r> airtonix: hmm... maybe but i dont think a core2duo 2gb ram server would handle it
[11:19] <ikonia> AlexW: ok - well perfomance will drop as your sharing hardware, but by how much will depend on a.) how good your hardware is b.) how much your using it, for a home user I wouldn't expect to see a "masssive" hit
[11:19] <airtonix> r2r, i beg to differ
[11:20] <vallhalla81> !.rar
[11:20] <airtonix> r2r, a 300mhz pentium1 would be good enough :)
[11:20] <r2r> airtonix: nice humor
[11:20] <airtonix> r2r, not humour, reality
[11:20] <vallhalla81> ﻿!info unrar-free
[11:20] <OdnsRvns> comand to kill and app anyone
[11:21] <ikonia> OdnsRvns: kill
[11:21] <dr_willis> I have to agree with airtonix  - low end machines can serve up a lot of  stuff...
[11:21] <airtonix> r2r, the centralised mount method would make your job easier as well when time comes to change stuff
[11:21] <afallenhope> ikonia - none /proc/bus/usb usbfs devgid=124,devmode=664 0 0
[11:22] <r2r> airtonix: you see our network is chocked to death even at gbps we are planning a fibre backbone as for old hardware you woudnt belive we have a p1 337mhz 32mb ram as our firewall (m0n0wall)
[11:22] <airtonix> r2r, but really...you need to experience the differences between various methods before you can appreciate them i guess
[11:22] <r2r> airtonix: let me try
[11:22] <airtonix> r2r, ah ok i see how sshcluster would be better thern
[11:22] <AlexW> ikonia: Would it be possible to just uses kvm's taps
[11:22] <dr_willis> 'learning to be a sysadmin 101' :)
[11:23] <nnull> ok my compiz was working great.. then i came back to my pc last night and noticed with some tooltips and effects after i click on a icon are just white boxes now with no other info.. why did this happen by itself and how do i fix please?
[11:23] <ikonia> if you don't want to give it access to aphyiscal card yes, join #kvm for some solid chatter on it
[11:23] <airtonix> dr_willis, my next step in this area is getting a group of people together willing to be guinea pigs so i can learn more
[11:24] <dr_willis> airtonix,  im still a firm beliver in 'educating' users  :) over 'dumbing everything down so they never need to think'
[11:24] <cwillu> was somebody just claiming that a 333mhz firewall couldn't handle gigabit traffic?
[11:24] <ikonia> gents, maybe offtopic a better place for this ?
[11:24] <r2r> dr_wills: i would do so 101 is a chapter or some refrence please could you give me more detailed refernce ;P
[11:24] <dr_willis> airtonix,  even my wife figured out  the basics of linux in a day or 2.
[11:24] <ikonia> interesting as it is
[11:24] <airtonix> dr_willis, :) darwin approach
[11:24] <r2r> guys can we cahtter at ubuntu-offtopic if you like
[11:25] <dr_willis> airtonix,  she still calls my Laptop  the 'laptdesk' machine. :)
[11:25] <airtonix> yes back on topic
[11:25] <ikonia> thanks guys
[11:25] <Kuba> hi
[11:26] <airtonix> delicate question: was the bios issue returning incorrect acpi tables the issue with hibernation? or is it just acase that we have to wait for some workaround in the kernel ?
[11:26] <dwa_> ikonia: my thunderbird problem was solved with a reboot; found out on the forums people had similar problems with firefox and a reboot was all that was needed. Probably some xulrunner file that had to be reloaded or something
[11:26] <Kuba> do you know, how to power on wlan adapter during startup and make an attempt to connect to prevously specified wifi network and if the ﻿network is not available power off the adapter :) is that possbile?
[11:27] <ikonia> dwa_: very good, maybe worth putting that in the bug report also
[11:27] <dwa_> ikonia: my plan exactly
[11:27] <ikonia> dwa_: thanks you, most helpful
[11:28] <nnull> ok my compiz was working great.. then i came back to my pc last night and noticed with some tooltips and effects after i click on a icon are just white boxes now with no other info.. why did this happen by itself and how do i fix please?
[11:28] <TheBase> I'm running a ubuntu and since I last upgraded to 8.04 TLS I can't get the graphics to work. I reinstalled the drivers and everything but I still have a problem. Every time I start X it says runs in low resolution and even after I change to the right drivers and resolution it goes back to low-res after restart. /var/log/Xorg.0.log shows this error: Failed to initialize GLX extension (Compatible NVIDIA X driver not found)   and I have a Ge
[11:28] <TheBase> Force 8400 GS.
[11:29] <TheBase> One thing that I noticed it that lsmod and xorg.conf shows the nvidia driver. Shouldn't it be nvidia_new ? After all there is a nvidia_new.ko listed with modprobe -l
[11:29] <pauljc> hello
[11:30] <ikonia> TheBase: xorg.conf does not relate to kernel modules
[11:31] <prodigel> hi all. any experience wit svn?
[11:31] <cwillu> TheBase, there's magic with nvidia_new, it'll show as nvidia in lsmod
[11:31] <barseflesh> i bet ppl on #svn have
[11:31] <airtonix> prodigel, minimal
[11:31] <baal> buzka
[11:31] <nnull> ok my compiz was working great.. then i came back to my pc last night and noticed with some tooltips and effects after i click on a icon are just white boxes now with no other info.. why did this happen by itself and how do i fix please?
[11:31] <r2r> TheBase: hmm.. try upadting is it updated i have never seen such a problem try maully configuring xorg if you can , GeForce 8400 GS is thata single core?
[11:31] <prodigel> barseflesh, svn channel doesn't give much feedback
[11:31] <r2r> nnull: someone will answer thankyou for reminding
[11:31] <prodigel> airtonix, I've just set up my svn server, did configuration in svnserve.conf and passwd and started svnserve as daemon, and when trying to checkout from a different computer it 'no repository found in ...
[11:32] <TheBase> r2r, I guess so since it's a laptop
[11:32] <nnull> r2rƺ no worries im not trying to spam, just reminding :x
[11:32] <ubbuntu-newbie> help...... how do you install tar.gz archive software?????
[11:32] <cwillu> prodigel, give it more time, not every channel is as busy as #ubuntu.  Best to just ask your question there, and be patient (in the at least 8 hours sense)
[11:32] <Ethos___> guys, can anyone tell me what's best for a virtual ubuntu box? :) Vmare of virtual pc?
[11:32] <reehan> can anyone provide me the room name for linux kernel
[11:32] <haeger> hello! Is there a chance to find a repository with packages of compiz 0.7.8 for ubuntu hardy heron?
[11:32] <billybongo> prodigel: how are you trying to check out?
[11:32] <airtonix> prodigel, sorry, not much i can do to help...been a long time since i used svn, and i was only following a guide to install it...fairly blind in that area i am
[11:32] <cwillu> reehan, #kernel I believe
[11:32] <reehan> Ethos___: virtualbox is the best and the simplest
[11:33] <reehan> thanku cwillu
[11:33] <Ethos___> really?
[11:33] <Kuba> nnull: my compiz is going crazy when 2 users are logged in ;p
[11:33] <erUSUL> ubbuntu-newbie: you shouldn't... try to find the program as deb for ubuntu... tar.gz are usually source code that needs to be compiled and couses probelems
[11:33] <Ethos___> I thought it was a bit simple and slow?
[11:33] <Ethos___> :)
[11:33] <ubbuntu-newbie> im trying to install azureus vuze and the file i downloaded is in the form of a archive... what do i do????
[11:33] <MaxJays> what's the difference in ext2 and ext3 filesystem?
[11:33] <erUSUL> ubbuntu-newbie: what program do you want to install?
[11:33] <nnull> Kubaƺ ive only got 1 user on this PC
[11:33] <TheBase> r2r, everything is up to date. I was wondering if it's something to do with the LCD display settings
[11:33] <airtonix> Ethos___, i use it, but you should try out all of them....see which suits you.
[11:33] <erUSUL> !torrent | ubbuntu-newbie
[11:33] <reehan> MaxJays: ext2 is not a journalling file system
[11:33] <ubbuntu-newbie> @ erUSUL how do i compile it?
[11:33] <erUSUL> !azureous | ubbuntu-newbie
[11:33] <erUSUL> !azureus | ubbuntu-newbie
[11:33] <Kuba> ubbuntu-newbie: http://azureus.sourceforge.net/howto_linux.php
[11:34] <MaxJays> can you explane journalling file system? reehan ?
[11:34] <r2r> TheBase: is geforce 8400 gs single core?
[11:34] <ubbuntu-newbie> @ all i am familiar with torrents and windows
[11:34] <airtonix> ubbuntu-newbie, why would you want azureus ?
[11:34] <ubbuntu-newbie> ive recently switched to linux ubuntu
[11:34] <Kuba> MaxJays: try wikipedia ;p
[11:34] <nnull> airtonixƺ why wouldnt you want it
[11:34] <reehan> MaxJays: wikipedia and google are the best
[11:34] <ubbuntu-newbie> @ all how do you compile a program or archive
[11:34] <MaxJays> i heard google try to take over the world
[11:34] <airtonix> nnull, because its written in java and is kinda bloatware
[11:34] <erUSUL> ubbuntu-newbie: i recommendo you to try deluge or follow onstruction given by ubottu to install azureus
[11:35] <Kuba> ubbuntu-newbie: TRansmission is good client for starters
[11:35] <erUSUL> ubbuntu-newbie: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AzureusHowTo
[11:35] <airtonix> +1 for transmission
[11:35] <prodigel> billybigrigger, svn co svn://1.2.3.4/something
[11:35] <nnull> airtonixƺ lol.. you may consider it bloatware, but its 4x+ more advanced/configurable then any clients ive used
[11:35] <cwillu> ubuntulog, azureus is in the repository, although I second erUSUL's suggestion of deluge
[11:35] <cwillu> !info azureus
[11:35] <billybongo> prodigel: I would use svn+ssh
[11:35] <nnull> tranmission is a joke (great as a simple downloader for most users) but it has 0 configurablity
[11:35] <Kuba> ubbuntu-newbie: installing the software on linux (for newbie) can be pain in the ass ;)
[11:35] <airtonix> nnull, if i had a laptop to use i would be running rTorrent
[11:35] <billybongo> prodigel: and you need full path to your repository
[11:36] <OdnsRvns> use symatic
[11:36] <r2r> cwillu:what e you trying to achive
[11:36] <ubbuntu-newbie> @ kuba could you please try and explain how to compile?
[11:36] <cwillu> ubbuntu-newbie, that means you can install it directly via add/remove in the applications menu
[11:36] <airtonix> nnull, for the laptop would go under my bed or in a cupboard and i would adminsiter rTorrent via screen through ssh
[11:36] <nnull> well yea if hes got a low end pc airtonix prolly isnt the go for him, but its a the best linux supported bit client ive used
[11:36] <cwillu> ubbuntu-newbie, azureus is in the repository, although I second erUSUL's suggestion of deluge
[11:36] <Kuba> ubbuntu-newbie: i can assure you you don't need Azureus; try Transmission (look in to ubuntu Menu); i newbie to linux too
[11:36] <tyberion> hi there.. ive got a little problem, is there a way that u can prevent gnome-settings-daemon, if you launch it, from setting the wall thats used in gnome???!
[11:37] <airtonix> ubbuntu-newbie, if you have used utorrent, then transmission will be familar ground
[11:37] <erUSUL> ubbuntu-newbie: i already told you *twice* the url with instructions on how to instal azureus but you keep asking here?
[11:37] <Ethos___> guys which is the best virtual product for ubuntu, virtual pc, vmware or virtual box?
[11:37] <erUSUL> ubbuntu-newbie: for the *third* time → https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AzureusHowTo
[11:37] <ubbuntu-newbie> @ all i get the picture........ but anyway could you guys explain in brief how to install using compile
[11:38] <Kuba> Ethos___: vmware
[11:38] <ikonia> erUSUL: personal taste, try them out
[11:38] <ikonia> oops
[11:38] <ikonia> Ethos___ personal taste, try them out
[11:38] <airtonix> nnull, well the premise of using a laptop with rTorrent is that it would be low power and silent
[11:38] <ikonia> erUSUL: sorry
[11:38] <erUSUL> ikonia: no problem :)
[11:38] <reehan> airtonix: !sorry
[11:38] <nnull> airtonixƺ sounds good makes me wish i had a laptop heh ;)
[11:38] <ubbuntu-newbie> right.....
[11:38] <ubbuntu-newbie> thanks
[11:38] <prodigel> billybigrigger, I've just realized i didn't start svnserver with a path parameter, now it works but probably I need to pass som usename/password
[11:39] <Kuba> airtonix: linux newbie won't specially like console programs ;p
[11:39] <airtonix> reehan, your apology is accepted my troops have been withdrawn from your territory....although im not sure waht your apologising for?
[11:40] <airtonix> has anyone been able to get lg u8110 mobile phones working with openobex in ubuntu?
[11:41] <reehan> airtonix: try ubuntu 8.04
[11:41] <nnull> ok my compiz was working great.. then i came back to my pc last night and noticed with some tooltips and effects after i click on a icon are just white boxes now with no other info.. why did this happen by itself and how do i fix please?
[11:41] <airtonix> Kuba, that's a personal problem they have to deal with really...
[11:41] <airtonix> Kuba, i am using ubuntu hardy.
[11:41] <TheBase> r2r, looks like it's single
[11:41] <airtonix> Kuba, mistell
[11:41] <airtonix> reehan, ja i am...any more ideas?
[11:42] <prodigel> billybigrigger, I get this message now: svn: /media/big/repos/imob/conf/passwd:7: Option expected. what does it say?
[11:42] <Kuba> airtonix: you have to point new linux user into right/simplest way
[11:42] <nnull> i also have no windows borders
[11:42] <r2r> TheBase: i really cant figure out a solution try running it with the LIVE CD
[11:42] <strk> so I want to install Ubuntu on a laptop. Have its hdd out and pluggable trought USB. What's the best way to do that ? Is it worth installing the system directly to the HDD usin USB and *after* install the HDD onto the laptop ?
[11:42] <airtonix> Kuba, hence my suggestion for transmission
[11:42] <airtonix> Kuba, imo nnull isnt a newbie
[11:42] <microwaver> Hello, i've got a strange issue. I've issued smbpasswd -a <user> <pw> and i can connect to my share, but when I want to enter it, it asks (duhr) for auhtentication I use the things I used at <user> <pw> but it just keeps on asking for it.
[11:43] <Kuba> airtonix: ubbuntu-newbie was ;)
[11:43] <strk> I'm asking because when I tried install CDs they failed (Asus w7j) : unable to find the CD volume to mount root...
[11:43] <Kuba> we all know rTorrent is the best ^^
[11:43] <airtonix> Kuba, which is why i suggest to that person to use transmission.
[11:43] <CaptJager> anyone play with crossover?
[11:43] <magnetron> !crossover | CaptJager
[11:44] <airtonix> Kuba, i actually havent used rTorrent for a while yet, my current version is on a feisty server...does the latest support dht yet?
[11:44] <cwillu> CaptJager, not recently, my roommate uses it for office though
[11:44] <cwillu> CaptJager, not sure how necessary it is though
[11:44] <TheBase> r2r, ok.
[11:44] <TheBase> thanks
[11:44] <Kuba> airtonix: 0.8 does (not sure)
[11:44] <CaptJager> kinda like wine
[11:45] <r2r> thanks for nothing? i like your attitude TheBase
[11:45] <airtonix> Kuba, although i was always getting very nice transfer speeds, many others would complain that they 'simply must have dht support'
[11:45] <CaptJager> transmission is the only one I get decent speeds on
[11:46] <billybongo> prodigel: not sure, I only ever use svn+ssh
[11:46] <airtonix> CaptJager, maybe because it uses upnp and you didnt try to create a port forwarded route?
[11:46] <cwillu> tranmission's bandwidth limiter has issues though, it isn't effective for sharing a connection with latency sensitive apps
[11:46] <CaptJager> I did forward the port and I get great speeds

[11:47] <joseph__>  Hello, my ubuntu system tends to become unstable after a while it's on and need to reboot like in windows- is this normal?
[11:47] <Ziroday> joseph__: no, however extremely difficult to diagnose. Desktop or laptop?
[11:48] <Dillizar> any news about the flash is it fixed :D
[11:48] <cwillu> joseph__, sounds like a hardware issue, might want to run the memory checker overnight (hit escape on the 'grub' menu)
[11:48] <MadHag> anyone use boinc on here?
[11:48] <ph8> hey guys, how does rcX.d work? I want to stop a service being shut down properly on halt/reboot but keep it as being started
[11:48] <Ziroday> Dillizar: please give us a specific issue and see !flash
[11:48] <cwillu> joseph__, it that crashes, or shows any errors, then you've definately got a hardware problem, although it isn't proof that everything is fine if it _does_ work
[11:48] <Dillizar> Ziroday: i found oput
[11:49] <kauer> hi. How can I install LAMP after the fact, from the command line? Do I just install Apache, MySQL, PHP, or is there more to it?
[11:49] <MadHag> I am getting sick of ubuntu, it works too well, I dont have any problems :)
[11:49] <cwillu> kauer, that's pretty much it, although you need to be familiar with administering those packages in any case

[11:52] <cwillu> kauer, everything in the repository should in theory work fine together
[11:52] <Jimm-> I'd like to direct /home to a new partition, is it as simple as just coping the contents of /home to the new partition and then editing fstab?
[11:52] <cwillu> kauer, in practice it tends to just work

[12:11] <mirex> Strang3r: when in directory write "ls -lA" to see what are properties of Application data. Maybe your user does not have rights to access the dir.
[12:12] <BlackDalek> I find a lot of the stuff in the wine directory is not accessible by the normal user.

[12:17] <hangthedj> gparted
[12:17] <bullgard4> fiyawerx: I know: If you yourself maintain the package, it will become updated faster.
[12:17] <msandbu> just use the integrated one in Windows
[12:17] <zax1> msandbu: which ?
[12:17] <Cheery> hmm, ubuntu seems to be quite much offline today
[12:18] <bullgard4> zax1: GParted. But make a backup before you start using it.
[12:18] <Cheery> I bought an apple keyboard, which feels quite good
[12:18] <hangthedj> I don't think Windows resizes partitions, XP doesn't cause I just tried on my laptop.

[12:30] <Enselic> AliTarihi: so what do you mean when you say that you "can't get a status from it" ?
[12:31] <AliTarihi> Enselic: /etc/init.d/SOMESERVICE status or start or stop does not yield anything
[12:32] <Enselic> AliTarihi: all services?
[12:32] <nikitis> So when will Gnome 2.24 be in the repositories?

[12:36] <_demo> hello i installed ubuntu on a hdd that was on my computer, now i moved the hdd that contains ubuntu to another computer, the other computer has a windows hdd too but it cannot be mounted, what can i do?

[12:37] <mecha> _demo: dual boot from one hdd
[12:37] <zimbres> hi, i have changed from the gdm to xdm display manager, how do i turn back?
[12:37] <fl0w> I'm trying to do ./configure but I'm getting following error "checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables". It's a newly installed Hardy Heron server edition, and I'm trying to install Sphinx (the search engine). Any ideas what might be causing this? I'm new to linux but this doesn't seem like a dependency error?
[12:37] <Enselic> zimbres: how do you change to xdm?
[12:37] <mecha> _demo: or make a jumper switch, i think it was on tech tv one time
[12:37] <KenSentMe> Is it possible to keep the file date while using ftp?
[12:38] <murlidhar> Enselic: nope it doesn't work that way
[12:38] <_demo> mecha, what?
[12:38] <The-Compiler> fl0w: you have to install build-essential
[12:38] <_demo> mecha how do i do that?
[12:38] <fl0w> The-Compiler: thank you!
[12:38] <Enselic> murlidhar: have you even managed to play an mp3 with cplay on the system your currently is sitting at?
[12:38] <zimbres> Enselic, when i installed it with apt-get, there was an option to make xdm the default manager.
[12:38] <Enselic> KenSentMe: keep the file data of what file?
[12:39] <KenSentMe> Enselic, of the file i am downloading through ftp
[12:39] <murlidhar> Enselic: that is the only player i use for playing my audio files
[12:39] <mecha> _demo: there are little things on the end of your hard drive called jumpers. they make the hdd master or slave or cable select. a jumper switch connects to 2 hdd and lets u use a switch to switch between the two hdd before you boot.
[12:39] <murlidhar> Enselic: yes i did . it works
[12:39] <mecha> google it i guess
[12:39] <The-Compiler> fl0w: no worries ;)
[12:40] <Enselic> murlidhar: how do you play it with cplay?
[12:40] <_demo> mecha why does it matter which hdd is master and which is slave?
[12:40] <mecha> _demo: google "hard drive jumper switch"
[12:40] <KenSentMe> Enselic, so the date of the file on the server and my computer should be the same
[12:40] <mecha> _demo: so BIOS know which to boot from
[12:40] <Enselic> KenSentMe: have you read the manual for your FTP client?
[12:40] <fl0w> The-Compiler: tried a "sudo apt-cache search c compiler" but that gave me a bit more results than I was hoping for :)
[12:40] <_demo> mecha, bios boots from the ubuntu one
[12:41] <murlidhar> Enselic: i type cplay in the terminal and the player fires up . there is an inbuilt file manager from which i can load the songs to play
[12:41] <mecha> _demo: then why do you still have the windows one plugged in? and what are the jumpers set to?
[12:41] <Enselic> murlidhar: you must figure out how to start playing files from when you start cplay
[12:41] <Enselic> murlidhar: cplay --help
[12:41] <Enselic> murlidhar: and/or   man cplay   Either of these should tell you that
[12:42] <_demo> mecha, why shouldnt the windows one be plugged in?
[12:42] <murlidhar> Enselic: Usage: /usr/bin/cplay [-nrRv] [ file | dir | playlist ] ...
[12:42] <mecha> _demo: what you should do is backup all your data and do a dual boot from one hdd and use the other for storage
[12:42] <Virtus> Hi.  What keyboard command switches from one gui to another?  I'm using the latest ubuntu distro
[12:42] <Virtus> nevermind
[12:42] <Enselic> murlidhar: what exact command do you use to laucnh cplay to play a given .mp3? Copy-paste please
[12:42] <_demo> mecha thanks for the advice but it still doesnt answer my question
[12:42] <Virtus> I worded that wrongly and figured out what I needed to do anyways
[12:42] <Flynsarmy> How do you generate the C or C++ code in the latest version of glade? I can't find hte option
[12:43] <Enselic> Flynsarmy: generating code with glade is since long obsoleted
[12:43] <Enselic> Flynsarmy: even glade is obsolete afaik, use GtkBuilder instead
[12:43] <mecha> _demo: if they are both plugged in, the computer can get confused sometimes, but what i think you did is have the ubuntu hdd set to master and the windows to cable select. so the windows drive is currently a waste of space
[12:43] <Flynsarmy> Enselic, OK, Thanks for the info
[12:43] <CaptJager> I know this has nothing to do with ubuntu but... any suggestions for fax program that has ability for distinctive rings

[12:45] <hangthedj> _demo, if your trying to mount a linux partition it won't work because windows doesn't support anything but fat32, fat16 and ntfs.
[12:45] <mecha> _demo: try typing "man mount" into your shell

[12:47] <Enselic> murlidhar: if you can open files that way with cplay, opening with /usr/bin/cplay should work
[12:47] <hangthedj> Will libntfs-gnomevfs do it via gui?
[12:47] <mecha> _demo: type "man mount" and it should give instructions on how to mount a partition

[13:03] <Flynsarmy> Anyone know of a way to get tcp keepalive in nautilus? ssh always cuts out after like 3 mins and i dunno how to fix it
[13:03] <Enselic> murlidhar: the problem was that only "cplay" was considered part of the command, and %f was intepreted by gnome-terminal as yet another argument (or probably a file)
[13:03] <dishayu> i need to reinstall grub... i added a new HDD and made some modifications to the non-linux partitions of the old one using partition magic in windows... now i'm unable to boot... it gives error 17... i am booted from hardy live cd... please help...
[13:03] <murlidhar> Enselic: could u explain it to me . so that next time i could pass it on to others .
[13:03] <Enselic> murlidhar: since ' ' (space) separates arguments

[13:04] <murlidhar> Enselic: so u put cplay %f in quotes
[13:04] <murlidhar> ?
[13:05] <Enselic> murlidhar: yes so the whole string "cplay %f" is intepreted as the argument to -e

[13:09] <dishayu> Murlidhar : no
[13:09] <murlidhar> dishayu: go to grub and type that command
[13:09] <dishayu> Enselic : root partition is sda7
[13:10] <dishayu> Murlidhar : it gives me a "find: /boot/grub/stage1: No such file or directory"
[13:10] <Flynsarmy> When is ibex scheduled for release? Last day of october?
[13:10] <murlidhar> dishayu: also make sure that both  the windows partition and linux root partition is mounted.

[13:16] <Tron04> Hello, I am using Kubuntu 8.04. When I place a icon on the desktop or on the panel and click on it, nothing happens. Launching it from the K-Menu works as expected. Whats this all about?
[13:17] <dishayu> Murlidhar : it doesn't boot into windows as well, it gives grub error 2 when i try to boot into windows..
[13:17] <her2r23> !spore
[13:17] <arvind_khadri> dishayu, you can re-install grub like that... and afaik error 17 is not recoverable
[13:17] <arvind_khadri> !grub | dishayu read this to re-install grub
[13:17] <LjL> Tron04: how do you place it?
[13:18] <murlidhar> !info spore | her2r23
[13:18] <Tron04> LjL, I open the K-Menu right click on the icon and say "add to desktop"
[13:18] <dishayu> arvind_khadri : will reinstalling ubuntu help? i don't have much any data on my linux drives...
[13:19] <Tron04> LjL: But the icon does not launch the program when placed on the desktop or on the Panel.
[13:19]  * fusp away
[13:19] <arvind_khadri> dishayu, yeah that will do... but just try re-installing grub once
[13:19] <LjL> Tron04: that works for me

[13:20] <murlidhar> dishayu: wait let me google for it
[13:20] <Tron04> LjL: Fresh install of KDE4 version of Hardy
[13:20] <dishayu> arvind_khadri : i tried everything google could give me, but reinstalling grub seems like impossible right now, so i guess i'd just reinstall ubuntu, since error 17 is not recoverable...
[13:20] <cfm> gharz: Sorry, afk.  ssh then the ip or DNS name should work.  If it's not, check are you running ssh daemon on different port than 22?
[13:20] <arvind_khadri> dishayu, its not afaik...
[13:20] <aubade> murlidhar: aubade is never leaving!
[13:20] <LjL> Tron04: if "fresh" means "no updates installed yet", i believe there's quite a few bugs

[13:21] <Rondom_> dishayu: have you tried super grub disk?
[13:22] <dishayu> Rondom_ :  not, yet...
[13:23] <WastePotato> Hmm. Not much going on in here today.
[13:23] <Rondom_> dishayu: it is very useful for fixing grub, especially for people who aren't that familiar with bootloaders and stuff because it also offers some help-texts
[13:24] <murlidhar> dishayu: could u give me the output for fdisk -l
[13:24] <gharz> cfm: let me check on it.
[13:24] <gharz> cfm. thanks!

[13:39] <asho79> Hi, I have a problem with my keyboard- in USA layout (which is what mine is), my quotation marks and commas come out strange (¨ ,) and aren´t recognised when I try to program, but in UK layout it works fine. Thanks
[13:39] <kunim_> is there a proper way to get anti-aliased fonts with google earth? i tried using the system qt but that breaks images in the popups (just a gray box is shown).
[13:39] <kennyyu> ntfs
[13:39] <dishayu> Murlidhar, arvind_khadri : do i have to change directory to some other drive before using that command?
[13:39] <kunim_> (so for example is there a specific qt version that might work?! or another trick?!)
[13:39] <murlidhar> dishayu: open ur nautilus file manager or whatever
[13:39] <kennyyu> arvind_khadri: ntfs. in fact i

[13:40] <arvind_khadri> !fat32 | kennyyu
[13:40] <cfm> gharz: I'm afraid I'm not sure what the problem is then - Putty and ssh should be behaving the same!  Try a "ssh -v -v -v hostname" and see if the debug info gives you any more hints.
[13:40] <gharz> cfm tripe -v?
[13:40] <ROnewbie> hi all; i have a quick question - i run ibex alpha, and I want to go back to gutsy (very unhappy with both hardy and intrepid). If i backup my /home directory, do I just copy/paste it into the fresh install?
[13:40] <kennyyu> but it
[13:40] <arvind_khadri> dishayu, you should be in your ubuntu machine thats it
[13:40] <cfm> gharz: Yes, it increases debug up to a max of three.
[13:41] <Ziroday> ROnewbie: read the topic. Intrepid in #ubuntu+1

[13:43] <lanoxx> it seems i am experiencing a bug similar to this one in launchpad: #256637
[13:43] <dishayu> arvind_khadri , Murlidhar : although sda1 drive has a few files but not menu.lst... and yes i am on a hardy live cd
[13:43] <ROnewbie> ziroday: thanks, but my question is not about intrepid, it is about going back to Gutsy
[13:43] <kennyyu> arvind_khadri: but in fact 'fdisk -l
[13:43] <Ziroday> lanoxx: does the pc continue to boot up?
[13:43] <kennyyu> arvind_khadri: but in fact 'fdisk -l' even shows nothing there...
[13:43] <gharz> yes... the ip add of the server is 192.168.254.13
[13:43] <supersaiyaren111>  hello
[13:43] <gharz> i can ping it
[13:43] <lanoxx> Ziroday, yes, but inbetween it hangs about 15-20 sec
[13:43] <gharz> can i use ip add, instead of the hostname?
[13:43] <kunim_> LjL: hmm ok i'll try the mediabuntu version. used the "package builder"-version from multiverse(?)
[13:43] <arvind_khadri> kennyyu, nothing in the sense?
[13:43] <cfm> gharz: Okay, try a ssh -v -v -v 192.168.254.13
[13:43] <Ziroday> ROnewbie: and if you ask in #ubuntu+1 they will tell you about how compatible your intrepid and gusty /home dirs will be
[13:43] <kennyyu> i suspect if the hard disk has failed
[13:44] <murlidhar> dishayu: does it give any errors ?
[13:44] <kennyyu> arvind_khadri: no output at all
[13:44] <dishayu> Murlidhar :  back to square one... "/dev/hda: Not found or not a block device."
[13:44] <Isaac_> Hiya
[13:44] <murlidhar> dishayu: grub-install /dev/sda
[13:44] <arvind_khadri> dishayu, then this wont work...  you will have to re-install grub...
[13:44] <kennyyu> even with 'sudo fdisk -l'
[13:44] <kunim_> LjL but you use ge 4.3 not 4.2, right?
[13:44] <arvind_khadri> kennyyu, are you on a live cd?
[13:44] <Isaac_> I have a question, and it's pretty lengthy. I'll put it in.
[13:44] <arvind_khadri> !grub > KennethP
[13:44] <kennyyu> arvind_khadri: yes i'm now
[13:44] <arvind_khadri> !grub > kennyyu
[13:45] <Isaac_> That is, for anyone who is available ;)
[13:45] <lanoxx> Ziroday, is this bug known to you?
[13:45] <LjL> kunim_: it's 4.3, yes
[13:45] <murlidhar> dishayu: grub-install /dev/sda1
[13:45] <IdleOne> Isaac_: ASK
[13:45] <arvind_khadri> kennyyu, KennethP sorry for that
[13:45] <Isaac_> k
[13:45] <arvind_khadri> !grub > dishayu
[13:45] <Ziroday> lanoxx: no its not sorry.
[13:45] <Isaac_> Hello, I have recently upgraded my BIOS. Before that I had Ubuntu Server 8.04.1 installed and it worked fine. I did get a message saying that my BIOS didn't pass the ACPI cutoff date (which was 2000), but it continued to boot. Then I installed Windows 98 SE (formatted, got rid of my Ubuntu Server software) in order to run a diagnostic program to show me what BIOS updates were for my machine....
[13:45] <Isaac_> ...I successfully flashed my BIOS. Now was about to reinstall Ubuntu Server, but then when I booted off the CD to install it, it said, "ACPI: Unable to load the System Description Tables" and it hung. I even disabled APM in the BIOS, same result. I even used "install acpi=off" with the same result again. Anyone have any answers?
[13:45] <murlidhar> dishayu: if that doesn't happen then /dev/hda1
[13:45] <genio> Did anyone else just have their firefox stop working due to the latest update?
[13:45] <dishayu> ﻿Murlidhar : it again gives the same error "/dev/hda1: Not found or not a block device."
[13:45] <arvind_khadri> dishayu, just follow the private message from the bot
[13:45] <case^> genio: working great here
[13:45] <arvind_khadri> murlidhar, stop giving random advices

[13:46] <r0bby> :)
[13:46] <WastePotato> Ouch.
[13:46] <vallhalla83> ﻿genio:a few people did the fix is as follows
[13:46] <murlidhar> dishayu: try sda1 if hda1 doesn't work
[13:46] <arvind_khadri> dishayu, just follow the private message from ubottu

[13:46] <WastePotato> Damn. Owned.
[13:46] <WastePotato> LjL: Banned from there. :P
[13:47] <kennyyu> arvind_khadri: there's nothing to sorry about ;)
[13:47] <dishayu> arvind_khadri : okay
[13:47] <gharz> cfm: just 1 last question? how do i log in? do i just type ssh? or ssh IPAddress? ssh hostname?
[13:47] <LjL> !modes > WastePotato    (WastePotato, see the private message from Ubotu)
[13:47] <gharz> cfm then i'll start from there
[13:47] <kunim_> LjL did you change any settings? because the medibuntu version just shows plain fonts here not anti-aliased ones :(
[13:47] <dishayu> murlidhar : sda1 gives the foll error... "Could not find device for /boot: Not found or not a block device."
[13:47] <arvind_khadri> kennyyu, then afaik fdisk -l wont show any output :) you will have to boot into the HDD's Ubuntu
[13:47] <LjL> kunim_: well, i don't think i changed anything from inside google earth... but i'm on KDE, for a start
[13:47] <wimpies> damaranzig : FYI ... I removed my .xine directory and now it works again
[13:47] <vallhalla83> ﻿genio: open task manager and kill the firefox proses then open a terminal and type sudo aptitude remove firefox it should offer you a down grade accept this then disable your plugins then reupgrade
[13:47] <murlidhar> dishayu: then it is out of my hand
[13:48] <cfm> gharz: ssh will give you a username prompt unless you pass -lmyusername to it, it will prompt for a password unless you're using a certificate.  Get past that are you're in a shell.
[13:48] <dishayu> arvind_khadri, murlidhar : booting from livecd shows my harddisk as a removable media, could that be a problem?
[13:48] <genio> yep. firefox is dead
[13:48]  * genio shakes his fist at that last update
[13:48] <arvind_khadri> dishayu, no
[13:48] <cfm> gharz: and ssh will take either hostname or ip address - either is good.  Will ask you to confirm fingerprint on first connect.
[13:48] <arvind_khadri> dishayu, are you following the factoid i gave you?
[13:48] <murlidhar> dishayu: no
[13:49] <vallhalla83> ﻿genio: its a plugin that is causing the error
[13:49] <dishayu> arvind_khadri :yes, i'm reading that
[13:49] <gharz> cfm... thanks. i'll check on it.
[13:49] <arvind_khadri> dishayu, good
[13:49] <her2r23> genio: firefox 3 ?
[13:49] <murlidhar> dishayu: according to linux . anything that can be unmounted is a removable disk
[13:49] <gharz> cfsm, thanks for the help! i'll let you know once i figure it out.

[13:50] <gharz> what's causing this?
[13:50] <IdleOne> Isaac_: please do not msg me. I don't know the answer to your question. be patient and repeat your question ( not every 2 minutes ) and someone will help when they can
[13:50] <gharz> !repositories
[13:50] <genio> I was running firefox fine this morning. I installed the updates this morning, restarted firefox and it won't come up.  it keeps dying on "starting firefox".  apt-get --purge remove firefox    apt-get install firefox    still no dice
[13:51] <Isaac_> No problem. I wasn't sure if when you said, "Ask" that you meant a "private message" or not, because the room was busy.
[13:51] <IdleOne> genio: #ubuntu-mozillateam
[13:51] <IdleOne> Isaac_: it's always busy :)
[13:51] <vallhalla83> ﻿genio: i sent you the fix earlyer and have now sent it as a pm
[13:52] <Isaac_> At least I found comfort in knowing that my BIOS flash went okay...whew
[13:52] <genio> vallhalla83: I just tried your methods.  aptitude didn't offer a downgrade
[13:52] <zafy> hi all, I'm having a problem with scrating sounds and static in HArdy with the Nvidia sound chipset on an Asus M78N3
[13:53] <vallhalla83> ﻿genio: did you kill firefox first?

[13:53] <genio> yea
[13:53] <jim_p> hi!
[13:53] <jim_p> !jigdo
[13:53] <murlidhar> genio: try apt-get install firefox-3.0
[13:53] <vallhalla83> ﻿genio: very odd what is the error msg you keep getting?
[13:54] <jim_p> does anybody know what do i need jigdo for?
[13:54] <murlidhar> genio: if it still doesn't help you. then sudo dpkg-reconfigure firefox
[13:55] <genio> vallhalla83: ah, it didn't offer a downgrade, but I went ahead and removed it anyway.  when I reinstalled it this time, it came up fine.
[13:55] <murlidhar> genio: :) yes. that should work .
[13:55] <exarkun> How can I learn of proposed package removals like the one proposed here - http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=468610 - in advance of the package actually being removed and my software breaking?
[13:55] <vallhalla83> ﻿genio: ah all good :)
[13:55] <genio> the stuck process was the problem, then
[13:55] <gharz> any idea on to fix this error? ﻿ W: A error occurred during the signature verification.

[13:56] <los|s> are there programms to watch itunes podcasts without itunes?
[13:56] <jim_p> los|s: i think amarok can do it
[13:56] <xxploit> zafy, i think i also had that problem with certain apps making it more noticeable. I removed pulse audio and left the alsa base. And switched over to using OSS 4 and set the preferred audio to OSS. For me personally OSS 4 has provided me with better sound
[13:56] <DIFH-iceroot> why is ubuntu 8.04 installing firefox 3.03 BETA with apt-get upgrade?
[13:57] <DIFH-iceroot> why not FireFox 3.02 NON-BETA?
[13:57] <magnetron> los|s, if they are real podcasts, you can subscribe to their RSS feed with a multitude of tools
[13:57] <zafy> xxploit, I've thought of that but I'm not entirely sure the problem is pulseaudio, it does this whenever I play any sound in any program
[13:57] <zafy> xxploit, and whether I selected Alsa Pulseaudio or oss in the sound dialog
[13:57] <bakarat> hi, if i want to start a number of services, but they have to start in a certain order, how can i do this?
[13:58] <los|s> magnetron: i mean the podcasts you can download in itunes
[13:58] <exarkun> bakarat: See all those funny numbers in the filenames in /etc/rc?.d
[13:58] <magnetron> los|s, my statement still holds
[13:58] <edgy> Hi, how can I tell whether PAE is enabled in my current kernel?
[13:58] <exarkun> bakarat: The numbers control the order
[13:58] <vallhalla83> !clam
[13:58] <bakarat> exarkun, ah good to know :>
[13:58] <vallhalla83> !clamav
[13:59] <vallhalla83> !virus
[13:59] <zafy> xxploit, can you point me towards a tutorial on how to remove pulse audio ? i'll try tonight
[13:59] <magnetron> !msgthebot > vallhalla83
[13:59] <xxploit> zafy, well the default setup alsa/pulse gave me disorted audio in some apps most noticeably some games i play. Also the oss that comes with hardy is not the current oss. You have to goto their website I believe to grab it
[13:59] <bakarat> exarkun, another question -> i have an oracle service being started by a script in /etc/init.d/, now i need to start something AFTER that specific script is started, how do i do this?
[13:59] <girrr> I just bootstraped a new hardy system but when I try to install software I get segmentation fault from apt/dpkg with lots of dirrent packages. Is this a known bug?
[13:59] <zafy> xxploit, ok
[14:00] <exarkun> bakarat: You want this to happen automatically at boot time?  Or you want the other service to start after an admin runs the init script manually?
[14:00] <girrr> Also all scripts seem to return the status 139
[14:00] <zafy> xxploit, how can I remove pulseaudio though ?
[14:00] <jim_p> does anybody know what do i need jigdo for?
[14:00] <bakarat> exarkun, the init script is run automatically, and my script has to run after that script but before the use rhas to log in
[14:00] <exarkun> zafy: http://glyph.twistedmatrix.com/2008/09/ultimate-ubuntu-pulseaudio-guide.html
[14:00] <bakarat> exarkun, so all automatically at boot time yes :>
[14:00] <exarkun> zafy: a walkthrough for disabling pulseaudio completely :)
[14:01] <zafy> exarkun, thanks I'll try that
[14:01] <Kuba> is it possible to turn wireless interface's radi on/off from console?
[14:01] <gharz> ubottu: when i run  gpg --export --armor <key> | sudo apt-key add i get gpg: can't open `': No such file or directory???
[14:01] <exarkun> bakarat: Did you already add an entry to /etc/rc3.d for starting the oracle service?
[14:01] <her2r23> jim_p: well, jigdo is *the* method for downloading CD/DVD images of Debian. at http://www.debian.org/CD/jigdo-cd/  or http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Debian-Jigdo/index.html
[14:01] <zafy> exarkun, and by the way is that exar kun from the sith legend in comic book form ? my dad translated those in french, I got to read them for free
[14:01] <bakarat> exarkun, i didn't do anything, just installed it and it...works :p
[14:01] <exarkun> zafy: wow, nice coincidence :)
[14:01] <bakarat> exarkun, not sure when the oracle script is run, which is where my problem stems from :D
[14:02] <xxploit> zafy, the main package being pulseaudio. You can type pulseaudio in synaptic and looks at the other packages. Youll probably see a few libs and sdldebian1.2-pulse etc.
[14:02] <exarkun> bakarat: ah, well, I don't know anything specifically about oracle's init scripts
[14:02] <exarkun> bakarat: so I'm not sure what its installer did
[14:02] <jim_p> her2r23: so what do i need it for? and why did it update today?
[14:02] <jim_p> her2r23: i have read the info
[14:03] <TopBunny88> Ihavce installed Wine in order to run Safari, how ever when ever i try to load any website other than the apple start page the system grinds to a halt. How do i fix this, please provide libnkage?
[14:04] <kunim_> LjL: mind to pastebin your ~/.config/Trolltech.conf ?
[14:04] <zafy> exarkun, never been a big Star Wars fan but I liked that comic
[14:04] <her2r23> jim_p: you dont need it. remove it if you aren't using it
[14:05] <xxploit> TopBunny88, maybe checkout the wineappdb and join channel #winehq. Also are u running wine with debugging or turning off all the debugging with WINEDEBUG=-all
[14:05] <jim_p> her2r23: thenks a lot
[14:05] <zafy> I have another strange issue, with the same motherboard but with the graphics integrated chipset this time
[14:05] <zafy> it's nvidia too and uses the 172.14.12 driver
[14:05] <zafy> the driver works but I have to reinstall it everytime I reboot
[14:05] <zafy> if I hibernate it's fine
[14:06] <zafy> but when i wake from hibernation I have no sound at all anymore
[14:06] <Maniek> hi
[14:06] <Bigmack83> I want to make a user to be able to upload images to be used on our site. I want him to be able to access a folder via ftp. can i just create a new user under ubuntu? that will limit him to only access his /home/user folder correct? he wouldnt have cli access though
[14:06] <zafy> so if I could just have the driver stay put for a start that would be kinda cool
[14:07] <LjL> kunim_: sure, moment
[14:07] <LjL> kunim_: http://pastebin.com/f124c0b6a
[14:07] <kunim_> LjL thanks
[14:09] <kunim_> LjL still no luck :(
[14:09] <kunim_> are you sure it's aa? :)
[14:09] <AngryElf> how can I check to how much bandwidth I'm using to and from my hard drives? e.g. am I pegging it, does it have room for more, etc
[14:10] <LjL> kunim_: *shrug* i can post a screenshot i suppose
[14:10] <TopBunny88> WAMU Got sold to JP morgan Chase ZEarlier this morning.
[14:10] <Bigmack83> yea i just heard that
[14:10] <zafy> anyone about my weird nvidia driver issue ?
[14:11] <cfm> "df -h" tells me a drive is 199MB used, but no files exist and "du -sh" says 4KB used.  What's going on?
[14:11] <Bigmack83> WAMU was doing bad, had too many bad loans out
[14:12] <LjL> kunim_: http://img244.imageshack.us/my.php?image=93189390oe8.png looks like bad antialiasing, but antialiasing, to me
[14:13] <LjL> kunim_: i have a CRT so it's admittedly hard to tell for sure
[14:13] <LjL> given the resolution i use
[14:13] <Ergo^> hey i wanted to ask if someone knows how does final theme for intrepid look like ?
[14:14] <Xpten> Hello everyone isn't there ubuntu version for slow and old pc(s)?
[14:14] <iplaythisgame> default will look much like it does now
[14:14] <LjL> Xpten: no, but Xubuntu is known to be a bit less resource intensive
[14:14] <lucas__> could some one help me setting up a wireless?
[14:14] <ActionParsnip> yo yo yo
[14:14] <Ergo^> iplaythisgame: so nothing new ? i was thinking maybe they will work on the New Wave thing.. its promising
[14:14] <Xpten> Thanks!
[14:14] <ActionParsnip> lucas__: internal or usb?
[14:14] <iplaythisgame> Ergo^, the dust theme is almost done, should be included in intrepid
[14:15] <iplaythisgame> Ergo^,  looks good i think
[14:15] <lucas__> ActionParsnip, internal... im on my laptop and every times i want to connect to the wireless i have to type name of the net and pass... i want ubuntu to do it automatically...
[14:16] <iplaythisgame> Ergo^,   i think they're working on one more, but i doubt it gets done on time and is included
[14:16] <ActionParsnip> lucas__: run lspci and tell use what the line says for your wireless, do not paste the whole thing
[14:16] <Ergo^> iplaythisgame: just leeching it to test how it looks
[14:17] <iplaythisgame> Ergo^,  i like it,  you gettin it from the official wiki, its changed a bit?
[14:17] <lucas__> ActionParsnip, http://paste.ubuntu.com/50868/
[14:18] <Ergo^> iplaythisgame: yeah im getting it, but it didnt skin the toolbars :/
[14:18] <kunim_> LjL yes, looks anti-aliased .. .very strange :(
[14:18] <iplaythisgame> Ergo^,  i had a bit of problem with that too,  di you update your murine svn?
[14:18] <ActionParsnip> lucas__: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection
[14:18] <Ergo^> iplaythisgame: hm... needed to use "aurora" version
[14:18] <Ergo^> iplaythisgame: i dont really understand the gtk engine thing yet ;-)
[14:19] <indian_munnda> can anyone tell me how to change disc writing speed in brasero???
[14:19] <iplaythisgame> Ergo^,  there are two versions so if you have aurora you can use that,  its rounder and i think people will like it better but i like the murine version
[14:20] <ActionParsnip> lucas__: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=305662
[14:20] <lucas__> ActionParsnip, thats correct... the thing is im connected right now to the wireless... but im not broadcasting the name of the net... and if i do so ubuntu doesnt connect to it automatically... or it does it some times and some others it does not... so what i want is ubuntu to connect automatically
[14:20] <iplaythisgame> Ergo^, be sure to try the firefox skin as well, really ties it together
[14:20] <indian_munnda> ActionParsnip: can you tell me how to change writing speed in brasero?
[14:21] <ActionParsnip> indian_munnda: no idea man, i dont use it, sorry
[14:21] <Ergo^> iplaythisgame: yeah, aurora looks nice... i kinda think its slower - less responsive
[14:21] <lucas__> ActionParsnip, if i do it with nm-applet it connects to the net but not to internet...
[14:22] <indian_munnda> ok no problm ActionParsnip
[14:22] <ActionParsnip> lucas__: broadcast the name and connect, then hide the essid again

[14:22] <iplaythisgame> Ergo^, i want to point out how well the Buuf iconset looks with the theme, works perfect

[14:52] <jrib> spsneo: ubuntu isn't a rolling release.  It's meant to be stable and you get new releases every 6 months
[14:52] <IntuitiveNipple> LyX-Student: Do a search for it from the Launchpad PPA home-page:
[14:52] <LyX-Student> spsneo: best idea.. to wait for intrepid, oct 30 isnt't far away
[14:52] <jim_p> PerfectExodus: did it work?
[14:53] <spsneo> LyX-Student: so only option is to wait for one month

[14:57] <agx> Hello, is there any package like "etherconf" under ubuntu that allow a dialog/whiptail configuration of ETH0 ip address ?

[14:57] <jrib> !info netbeans | nnull
[14:57] <IntuitiveNipple> LyX-Student: From the repo itself you'll need to back-track to get the correct URL for the launchpad project to check the changelogs
[14:57] <igormorgado> jrib: or that =D
[14:57] <nnull> jribƺ it wants to install 200 meg of stuff when all i need is the 30 meg
[14:58] <igormorgado> nnull: that is what you think
[14:58] <nnull> i already have the java sdk, but synaptic isnt recognising that and trying to download more
[14:58] <igormorgado> nnull: he knows more than you.
[14:58] <igormorgado> nnull: because you have downloaded in a wrong way
[14:58] <LyX-Student> IntuitiveNipple: nothing mate, I searched and every result is outdated
[14:58] <nnull> igormorgadoƺ hows that
[14:58] <jrib> nnull: right, that's what happens when you install things outside of the repositories

[14:59] <atlef> !mount | nero_:

[15:01] <LyX-Student> IntuitiveNipple installing from svn is too complicated, I thought there should be something easier and faster like deb repos
[15:01] <IntuitiveNipple> LyX-Student: What I usually do in this situation is grab the latest Ubuntu package (because it has the debian packaging assumedly correct), pull in the latest source from VCS (git, svn, etc.), update the packaginf changelog and any additional depends in debian/control, and build a new debian package
[15:02] <IntuitiveNipple> LyX-Student: If there's no major new external undocumented dependencies it takes about 10 minutes
[15:02] <nnull> igormorgadoƺ should i of just installed netbeans and not the sun-java6-sdk ?

[15:03] <ross`> can someone help me get wireless working on an HP pavilion
[15:03] <LyX-Student> IntuitiveNipple: I've never done that before. Isn't it possible to use intrepid repos temporarily?
[15:03] <igormorgado> nnull: I *always* use package manager, you also should do that since you dont know how to execute a single file. Let it do it for you, if its downloading too much, file a bug report, and it will be fixed.
[15:03] <IntuitiveNipple> LyX-Student: Potentially, *if* the debian package doesn't declare Depends on other packages with versions later than available in Hardy
[15:04] <spsneo> aplay doesnt work when playing some audio file in vlc or any other media player. what to do?
[15:04] <nnull> igormorgadoƺ i always use package manager too, but it seems weird if its downloading a file which is already installed

[15:10] <Rioting_pacifist> when i use sudo i get "sudo: unable to resolve host Juan-Hardy" it works but thats what i get 1st
[15:10] <IntuitiveNipple> spsneo: probably to do with the existing audio back-end (or another audio application) hacing exclusive access to the sound hardware
[15:10] <huitang> next,  i uninstall the official driver. but the UI it still work slower than before.
[15:11] <beautifulsnow> ah i found it dft

[15:13] <spsneo> LyX-Student: i use stardict which uses aplay for pronunciation, but I am not able to hear when some othr media player is running
[15:13] <spsneo> LyX-Student: any help
[15:13] <beautifulsnow> huitang,  Sorry, I got confused by your question. You mean the interface is slower WITH the official drivers, or with the ubuntu drivers?
[15:14] <jrib> Rioting_pacifist: you didn't put /etc/hostname.  Is "Juan-Hardy" in there?
[15:14] <Chico_17> hi
[15:14] <dft> Beautifulsnow: you should look in /usr/share/enlightenment
[15:14] <huitang> yes. with the official driver. then i uninstall it. and still slower interface.
[15:14] <dft> cp the themes to the appropriate sub-dir
[15:14] <spsneo> LyX-Student: no solution?
[15:15] <huitang> the ubuntu driver is xorg, is that right? I installed that.
[15:15] <Rioting_pacifist> jrib: no what should i put?
[15:15] <jrib> Rioting_pacifist: what is in /etc/hostname?
[15:15] <mystery> Does anyone know how to remove a program in wine that does not appear on the add remove program list?
[15:16] <delfick> hello, how do I go about telling my computer to auto turn off in 20 min?
[15:16] <beautifulsnow> delfick,  Power Management

[15:16] <Rioting_pacifist> erm it had 127.0.0.1 Juan-Intrepid but now i replaced it with Juan-Hardy
[15:16] <mystery> Atlef: thanx i will do that
[15:17] <delfick> beautifulsnow: that only has option to sleep after certain time... I want shutdown, like the "shutdwon -h +20" command (except without the system beeps that command keeps making every now and then)
[15:17] <jrib> delfick: shutdown +20     see 'man shutdown'
[15:17] <venenoso> hi
[15:17] <spsneo> delfick: sudo shutdown -h +5
[15:17] <venenoso> i need help
[15:17] <beautifulsnow> oh :3
[15:17] <jim_p-> did i get disconnected a minute ago?
[15:18] <beautifulsnow> !ask venenoso :)
[15:18] <spsneo> delfick: check man shutdown for more options
[15:18] <hydroponic> Is there an Ubuntu package for icompile?
[15:18] <beautifulsnow> !ask|  venenoso :)
[15:18] <venenoso> anybody?
[15:18] <Nariman> no one knows how to start Vmware workstation after install???
[15:18] <airtonix> !info wine
[15:18] <delfick> the man page for shutdown doesn't seem to have an option to disable system beeps....
[15:18] <venenoso> ok, here i go
[15:18] <venenoso> i  have hardy heron installed on my pc
[15:18] <Nariman> tried in terminal to write "vmware"
[15:18] <airtonix> ah ok i  am after the public wine channel
[15:18] <Nariman> notjing happens
[15:19] <venenoso> and i want to add another network card, to configure it as a gateway
[15:19] <huitang> jim_p,beautifulsnow: I installed official driver in order to hope my X550 works well, but now i am very sad now.  how do you think about my question? any advice?
[15:19] <jrib> delfick: that wasn't in your original question :)
[15:19] <venenoso> and i add a D-Link DFE+538TX but my system doesnt recognice it
[15:19] <venenoso> what can i do
[15:19] <venenoso> ¿?
[15:19] <jrib> delfick: you could always disable the system beep before running the command
[15:20] <spsneo> delfick: why do u want to disable beep
[15:20] <spsneo> ?
[15:20] <delfick> jrib: how do I disable the beeps? I've looked at trying to do that before but couldn't figure out why
[15:20] <jim_p-> venenoso: load the proper module?
[15:20] <Aquahallic> Mornin' folks
[15:20] <Razz> mornin'
[15:20] <beautifulsnow> with enlightenment, do i always gotta ALT-TAB to go to the next window? if i click it, the window doesnt gain focus
[15:20] <venenoso> jim_p, how can i know if the module is loaded?... im a newbie
[15:20] <beautifulsnow> and i cant copy paste ;p or use alt+functions
[15:20] <delfick> spsneo: because I'm running music on it for a while as I get to sleep and having it turn off automatically, but if it beeps, it defeats the entire purpose of music putting me to sleep :)
[15:20] <airtonix> delfick, beeps? as in pc speaker?
[15:21] <delfick> yeah
[15:21] <Aquahallic> if I want to remove a kernel that I've compiled.. .do I just remove the kernel image in /boot and remove the entry from the grub menu.lst and that's all there is to pull out?? OR is there a tool that lets me remove it gracefully?
[15:21] <spsneo> delfick: it beeps just once right?
[15:21] <airtonix> delfick, i assume you havent tried system -> prefs -> sound : system beep
[15:21] <delfick> well, in the last few mins it beeps every min
[15:22] <spsneo> delfick: ok i havent tried that
[15:22] <jim_p-> venenoso: give me a sec to find some info about your card or run "lcpci" (or "lsusb" if its a usb device) at a terminal to see how linux identifies the card
[15:22] <mdonahoe> anyone have experience with virtualbox?
[15:22] <airtonix> delfick, just so you know there are a few apps that trigger the beep
[15:22] <delfick> airtonix: I have system beep disabled in the sound dialog but it still happens
[15:22] <atlef> mdonahoe: some, but this is not the channel for it
[15:22] <mdonahoe> i'm running it on ubuntu...
[15:22] <jrib> delfick: well the kludge way is to just modprobe -r pcspkr
[15:22] <airtonix> delfick, look in the prefs of : gnome-terminal, xchat and gaim/pidgin
[15:23] <jim_p-> can someone PLEASE kick my other alternative account?
[15:23] <spsneo> delfick: that doesnt disable system beep
[15:23] <spsneo> airtonix: taht disables just gnome beep
[15:23] <delfick> k then
[15:23] <Kushika> hello, can I recieve some support?
[15:23] <Aquahallic> delfick: if you're getting a beep when the machine is under a load.. I'd look at your cpu heatsink and make SURE it's clean and the fan is running.. they'll beep if they're getting warm
[15:23] <venenoso> jim_p, i runed the command lspci | gresp eth, and lspci but the system didnt recognize the hard
[15:23] <jrib> delfick: I imagine there's a configuration or file we can edit to get rid of the beep on shutdown
[15:23] <delfick> jrib: that looks like it may help me :)
[15:23] <spsneo> delfick: echo "blacklist pcspkr" | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
[15:23] <spsneo> try this
[15:23] <airtonix> spsneo, i dont get any more beeps :)
[15:23] <mdonahoe> just need to know if anyone has converted from ose to puel (need usb support) or a way to port the usb into ose on ubuntu
[15:23] <delfick> Aquahallic: it's definitely the shutdown command :)
[15:23] <LjL> !ghost > jim_p-    (jim_p-, see the private message from Ubotu)
[15:24] <airtonix> mdonahoe, the non ose version allows me to use usb :)
[15:24] <spsneo> delfick: it should not after a restart now
[15:24] <Aquahallic> delfick: get a can of air and blow out that cpu heatsink and fan
[15:24] <airtonix> mdonahoe, virtualbox that is
[15:24] <spsneo> delfick: did u try?
[15:24] <delfick> modprobe thing? yes
[15:24] <Aquahallic> you might be over-riding a safety and SMOKE that cpu
[15:24] <jim_p-> LjL: i have forgotten 2 or 3 passwords that are related to irc in my life :P
[15:24] <delfick> I'll only modprobe when doing shutdown, I won't put it in blacklist :)
[15:25] <mdonahoe> right, but i have ose installed now.  can i just install the non-ose and then it will automatically work?  i have licensed software on the virtualbox, so I don't want to have to go through the pain of reactivating
[15:25] <LjL> jim_p-: jim_p can be kicked from this channel, but nobody can "kick" it out of irc
[15:25] <beautifulsnow> >_____< My e17 themes still don't show on the menu (Ive regerenated them)
[15:25] <airtonix> mdonahoe, sudo apt-get remove it first
[15:25] <robbo_> How to set a transparent background color in urxvt
[15:25] <airtonix> mdonahoe, and just load up the image you created before hand
[15:25] <atlef> mdonahoe: remove the ose one and install the none ose and all is well
[15:25] <jim_p-> LjL: good point
[15:26] <mdonahoe> airtonix, thanks I just wanted to make sure
[15:26] <delfick> anywho, shutdown isn't making the system beep happen anymore (got into the last ten minutes and each new minute isn't making it beep) thnx for the help peoples :)
[15:26] <arthur_> anybody ever use the AT&T USBConnect 881 to conect to the internet with ubuntu hardy?
[15:27] <atlef> mdonahoe: the machines an conf is in the.virtualbox folder in your home
[15:27] <Kuba> ﻿is it possible to turn wireless interface's radio on/off from console?
[15:27] <spsneo> delfick: how did u get that?
[15:27] <arthur_> anybody ever use the AT&T USBConnect 881 to conect to the internet with ubuntu hardy? is there any issues?
[15:27] <delfick> spsneo : by doing sudo modprobe -r pcspkr
[15:27] <airtonix> Kuba, i think sudo ifdown -i <insert-wifi-device-name-here>
[15:27] <ed0n0n> Does upgrading from 7.10 to 8.04 also upgrade any GPU drivers?
[15:28] <spsneo> kool
[15:28] <spsneo> delfick: kool
[15:28] <jim_p-> Kuba: i think bu stoppin networking altogether, that yes it can be done, but its not a solution
[15:28] <jim_p-> ed0n0n: prossibly yes
[15:28] <guysoft42> hey, does anyone know an application that lets you change screen resolution?
[15:28] <jim_p-> guysoft42: xrandr, krandr
[15:28] <airtonix> Kuba, for example, i can use that command to turn off my wired networkcard which is eth0 with : sudo ifdown -i eth0
[15:28] <jakeri> nvidia server settings ?
[15:29] <LyX-Student> IntuitiveNipple: are you ready?
[15:29] <ed0n0n> jim_p: probably, means: Just upgrade and cross fingers?
[15:29] <Kuba> what about modprobe -r driver"
[15:29] <jakeri> *nvidia x server settings ?
[15:29] <LyX-Student> spsneo use pulseaudio ;)
[15:29] <ed0n0n> jim_p: Using ATI Radeon 9000
[15:29] <airtonix> Kuba, so last time i had a wifi card in ubuntu it was called ath0, but it may be something else in your system
[15:29] <mdonahoe> atlef, ok so i was just going to copy the .vdi file, should i just copy the entire .virtualbox folder?
[15:29] <jim_p-> ed0n0n: it depends on what drivers you have. this will be a big update so problems may occur
[15:30] <atlef> mdonahoe: no, it will be used by your new install, so need to worry
[15:30] <jim_p-> ed0n0n: even with some other software
[15:30] <spsneo> LyX-Student: is there any risk?
[15:30] <mdonahoe> atlef, you are the best
[15:30] <atlef> mdonahoe: but of cource you can always back it up
[15:30] <atlef> *ofcourse
[15:30] <guysoft42> jim_p-, thanks :) ,let me apt-get
[15:30] <Kuba> airtonix: are you sure it is the same as switching wifi radio off?
[15:30] <AlfredHitchcock> a
[15:30] <ed0n0n> jim_p: I read that it's necessary to restart with kernel 2.6.14 for avoiding some bugs in the Ubuntu docs
[15:30] <LyX-Student> spneo no? it's just something like alsa, but different.. you can still go back to also everytime
[15:31] <jim_p-> guysoft42: and grandr too
[15:31] <mdonahoe> atlef, nah i'm more of the drive fast and take chance type...heh
[15:32] <atlef> mdonahoe: hehe. well i have used the none ose version for some time now, and love the fact that i can install 64bit os'es
[15:32] <hiptobecubic> is it a good idea to share my ~/ folder between two distros?
[15:32] <jim_p> ed0n0n: restart what thing?
[15:32] <atlef> hiptobecubic: no
[15:32] <dam85> hello
[15:32] <airtonix> Kuba, wifi radio as in a wireless network card?
[15:32] <hiptobecubic> atlef, why not
[15:33] <atlef> hiptobecubic: use different usernames
[15:33] <Kuba> airtonix: yep
[15:33] <airtonix> Kuba, then yes i am sure
[15:33] <UnionPivo> hiptobecubic, because differnet versions of software
[15:33] <Kuba> airtonix: so that wifi card doesn't work
[15:33] <atlef> hiptobecubic: and configs
[15:33] <dam85> hello everybody..........i have removed /etc/init.d/proftpd..... but i get this error   http://rafb.net/p/2fxo7i12.html
[15:33] <dam85> how can i do?
[15:34] <Nece228> how to know which one ati catalyst driver version im using?
[15:34] <hiptobecubic> atlef, but if i want the same configs? ( that was my idea)
[15:34] <mdonahoe> atlef:  ahhh, very nice.  I'm just trying to use one computer for everything... work and personal.  So loading up MS Project, etc on there.
[15:34] <airtonix> Kuba, did i miss something? you wanted to turn it off? did you try that command ....first you need to figure out what the device name of the card is
[15:34] <dam85> what is the apt-get command to recreate /etc/init.d/proftpd file ?
[15:34] <atlef> mdonahoe: it is great yes
[15:35] <atlef> hiptobecubic: if you install two ubuntus, then it is possible
[15:35] <sorsis> any tools to ease mp3 tag manipulation?
[15:35] <IntuitiveNipple> dam85: Just recreate the file - it shouldn't matter about the contents - if the installer is bothered by the difference, it will ask you which one you want
[15:35] <DJones> sorsis: You could look at easytag
[15:35] <hiptobecubic> atlef, ok thanks
[15:35] <sorsis> DJones: ty
[15:36] <dam85> so have i to create an empty file?
[15:36] <atlef> hiptobecubic: different distros have small differences in configurations

[15:38] <atlef> tyberion: sorry, read wrong
[15:38] <airtonix> DIFH-iceroot, it depends on your video card and what your willing to do
[15:38] <icedwater> OK, I thought so, but I was trying with Skype first only because I'm using it later.
[15:39] <hiptobecubic> icedwater, system > prefs > sound

[15:41] <gmm46> ok thx
[15:42] <hiptobecubic> tyberion, i still say vlc :P
[15:42] <sorsis> gmm46: you should practice a bit of "apt-cache search <package names>" and other apt tools
[15:42] <airtonix> Kuba, sorry?
[15:42] <gmm46> actually
[15:42] <gmm46> if u use
[15:42] <salutis> ikonia: thanks, I will try!
[15:42] <gmm46> sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
[15:42] <gmm46> it fixes the youtube sound problem
[15:42] <dam85> could someone help me?
[15:42] <icedwater> hiptobecubic, I seem to have tried all the options, from ALSA to OSS and PulseAudio, but they all don't work. I suspect it's the microphone itself.
[15:42] <Kuba> airtonix: man pages show that parameter "i" is for loading definitions from other FILE
[15:42] <LORREZ> !list
[15:42] <airtonix> ikonia, can you help kuba determine the name of his/her wifi card please
[15:42] <hiptobecubic> airtonix, you can set it up o use two x servers....
[15:43] <Kuba> airtonix: i know it
[15:43] <javierg> gmm46, I've tried that. It doesn't.
[15:43] <airtonix> ikonia, ie : ath0 or otherwise
[15:43] <gmm46> u sure?
[15:43] <hiptobecubic> icedwater, what model sound card... it's not an hp dv series laptop is it?
[15:43] <gmm46> it is working for me
[15:43] <Kuba> eth1 is mine
[15:43] <ikonia> airtonix if I can, sure
[15:43] <airtonix> hiptobecubic, tell DIFH-iceroot
[15:43] <Kuba> ikonia: there is no need
[15:43] <ikonia> Kuba: run iwconfig eth1
[15:43] <ikonia> Kuba: ooh, ok
[15:43] <javierg> gmm46, Yes I am sure.
[15:43] <arthur_> i also have a question about dial up. my laptop has a winmodem in it i went to linmodems.com and patched the modem to get it to work. i got it all going good, BUT sometimes the modem will stop responding and i have to REBOOT to get it going again, My question is ,, is there a way to get the modem responsive with out rebooting????
[15:43] <hiptobecubic> DIFH-iceroot, , you can set it up o use two x servers....
[15:44] <javierg> Can anyone help me with my sound not working on Youtube? I've tried numerous options but still no success.
[15:44] <airtonix> Kuba, then to turn off that device its : sudo ifdown -i eth0 ... to turn it on again its : sudo ifup -i eth0
[15:44] <dam85> http://rafb.net/p/2fxo7i12.html
[15:44] <DIFH-iceroot> hiptobecubic: so i am using 2 x gnome?
[15:44] <RediXe> I have a folder on my desktop and one on my server (ubuntu server) and I want to link the two together so if I save it to the folder on my machine it's saving to the server as well. (or at the least just have it save to the server and it just looks like it's on my machine) ... I want to say symlink is what I want but not sure.
[15:44] <airtonix> Kuba, but eth0 is usually for wired cards not wifi...i could be wrong
[15:44] <Kuba> brb
[15:44] <ikonia> airtonix he said eth1
[15:45] <airtonix> Kuba, ah yes use eth1 instead of eth0

[15:58] <ikonia> JohanA: what good is saying "bump", if someone didn't see you messaging saying "bump" won't let them see it, this isn't a forum, saying "Bump" won't make anyone who doesn't know the answer suddenly know it

[16:00] <KDB9000> I need some help with the Gnome Connect to Server system. Trying to connect to my server using sftp to transfer some files over but I have it set up to use a key. How do I get the Gnome Connect to Server to use the key for the server?
[16:00] <Ohkie> anybody? :)
[16:00] <ikonia> danielther_ what video card does it have in it
[16:01] <airtonix> Ohkie, again its better if you repeat your question for newcomers to the channel
[16:01] <beautifulsnow> Is there a reason why compiz might steal the function of "CTRL"? a game I use needs CTRL to see nearby friends, but its not working. Another game needs CTRL to rotate objects, but its also not working :/
[16:01] <ikonia> beautifulsnow crtl is mapped as a smart key
[16:01] <danielther_> ikonia_ not to sure.
[16:01] <airtonix> beautifulsnow, not playing wow by any chance?
[16:01] <ikonia> beautifulsnow: eg, ctrl+alt+arrows = rotate teh cuber
[16:01] <ikonia> cube
[16:01] <beautifulsnow> airtonix, no :3
[16:01] <ikonia> danielther_: come on - you bought the laptop you must know what hardware you have in it
[16:01] <airtonix> beautifulsnow, anyway you need to edit several places...theccsm and the metacity keybindings
[16:02] <Ohkie> for some reason my pc can no longer access any internal or external network connections........ anyone got some pointers on identifying/fixing the cause?
[16:02] <tjibbe> i need windows and ubuntu on my pc.. what do i need to install first? ubuntu or windows
[16:02] <airtonix> !ccsm | beautifulsnow
[16:02] <beautifulsnow> ikonia, .. ah.... thats right... so id have to disable that or change it to SUPER or something?
[16:02] <ikonia> tjibbe windows

[16:02] <airtonix> beautifulsnow, yeah super is proly best...iw as using soemmods in wow that required alt and ctrl so i used super for most things in compiz now
[16:02] <KDB9000> danielther_, run lspci in a terminal and look for VGA compatible controller.

[16:03] <ikonia> Ghost21: how did you install vmware ?
[16:03] <kaos_nk> When ubuntu makes your windows partition small during install, does it check if the space it uses is free of data?
[16:03] <kaos_nk> smaller*
[16:03] <airtonix> !who
[16:03] <Ghost21> vmware-any-any-update117d <-- using this patch
[16:03] <danielther_> KDB9000_ plz repeat
[16:04] <ikonia> Ghost21 I'll ask again - how did you install vmware
[16:04] <KDB9000> danielther_, run lspci in a terminal and look for VGA compatible controller.
[16:04] <DareDevil> alguien sabe porque en fedora la pantalla se me queda en blanco cuando habilito los efectos de escritorio?
[16:04] <ikonia> !fr | DareDevil
[16:04] <Ghost21> Compiling it
[16:04] <danielther_> KDB9000_ok will try.
[16:04] <ikonia> Ghost21: then get support from vmware support channels
[16:04] <ikonia> Ghost21: that is not an ubuntu issue
[16:05] <airtonix> ikonia, whats the channel for wine?
[16:05] <KDB9000> I need some help with the Gnome Connect to Server system. Trying to connect to my server using sftp to transfer some files over but I have it set up to use a key. How do I get the Gnome Connect to Server to use the key for the server?
[16:05] <Ohkie> for some reason my ubuntu can no longer access any internal or external network connections.... windows works fine........ anyone got some pointers on identifying/fixing the cause?
[16:05] <ikonia> airtonix #winehq ?
[16:05] <airtonix> ikonia, cheers
[16:05] <Ghost21> I have been looking.. Hey just asking a question if you don't know the answer then that's fine maybe some else does
[16:05] <kaos_nk> Thing is, my friend defragmented their harddrive, but they has a rather small amount of free space at the end of partition. I'd like to know if Ubuntu would only use that?
[16:05] <unop> kaos_nk, parted (the tool that does the resizing) actually resizes the filesystem first, shrinking it - before the actual partition boundaries are adjusted
[16:05] <elupus> hi
[16:06] <ikonia> Ghost21 no - this is fur ubuntu support only, so please take it to the vmware support resources
[16:06] <kaos_nk> unop: does it actually check if there's data that would be affected because of the resize?
[16:06] <Lamba> Ghost21: #vmware
[16:06] <elupus> i'm trying to figure out what exact source was used to build intrepids xserver-xorg-video-intel
[16:06] <elupus> but apt-get source, doesn't find the files
[16:06] <danielther_> KDB9000_ALi Corporation PCI to AGP Controller?
[16:07] <elupus> it says that it's maintained in a git repo (debians), but by the looks of the changelog the ubuntu version contains some additional fixes
[16:07] <KDB9000> danielther_, can you copy the output of lspci and put it into a paste bin, here is the link for the paste bin. http://paste.ubuntu.com
[16:08] <wers> i cant watch youtube vids on opera. what do i install?
[16:08] <unop> kaos_nk, errm - i'll say this, perhaps it answers your question then. resizing a filesystem involves moving files around so that enough freespace is created at the location where the new partition boundary should exist - so freespace is kind of used from all over, not just at the end.
[16:08] <ikonia> flashplugin-nonfree
[16:08] <danielther_> kdb9000_ I will try. Bear with me I am new to all this. This ain't MS windows LOL
[16:08] <Baru_Blajar_Pusi> elupus problem's same with me.
[16:08] <Ohkie> i know this is a loaded question....... but i still dont get why linux gets such rave reviews when ive had more trouble getting linux going on my brand new machine than i have windows?
[16:09] <egoleo> hello i am using Sony Viao VGN-NR110E with ubuntu on it but i cant disable the front speakers
[16:09] <egoleo> how do i do that
[16:09] <shandiddy> "wers" install adobe flash player
[16:09] <atlef> danielther_: you have come a long way as you know that :-)
[16:09] <usser> wers, and libflashsupport
[16:09] <ikonia> Ohkie thats an offtopic question
[16:09] <kaos_nk> unop: well, can that corrupt a windows installation under certain circumstances?
[16:09] <elupus> just noticed something.. seems 2.4.1-1ubuntu4 is missing
[16:09] <elupus> but 2.4.1-1ubuntu6 seems to be there
[16:09] <EarthLion> hey how do i do an apache configtest in v2.0?
[16:09] <elupus> will update and hope for the best
[16:09] <danielther_> Big smile on face
[16:09] <Ohkie> ikonia: we'll nobody's answering my ontopic so i thought id kill time till some new peeps joined :)
[16:09] <KDB9000> danielther_, don't forget to send me the link so i can see it. also, what kind of laptop is it?
[16:09] <ikonia> Ohkie not the best approach
[16:09] <wers> usser, ooh. so firefox and opera use different flash packages
[16:09] <unop> kaos_nk, there is always that possibility, yes - always, always, always back up data before you attempt something like this.
[16:10] <Ohkie> whys that ikonia
[16:10] <usser> wers, no, the same ones
[16:10] <kaos_nk> hmpf
[16:10] <danielther_> kdb9000_HP Pavilian n5425
[16:10] <wers> usser, but i can watch flash vids on firefox
[16:10] <ikonia> Ohkie beacuse it takes the channel offtopic and people get distracted from support, hence why I'm asking you to stop
[16:11] <wers> usser, installed it but i still cant watch
[16:11] <kaos_nk> unop: alright, thanks
[16:11]  * Ohkie laughs...... fair enough

[16:13] <Enselic> When looking in /boot/grub/menu.lst the kernel parameter "ro" is passed. The documentation says this mounts the root file system as read-only. That doesn't make sense to me. Am I confused?

[16:13] <ico2> hi, I'm looking for the new gpg key for security.ubuntu.com. I've searched and searched to no avail
[16:14] <usser> wers, do u see shockwave flash there
[16:14] <ruschi> Hi - although not stable I upgraded to 8.10. Some odd behaviour in X exists:
[16:14] <ruschi> somehow I always have us keyboard mapping at start - I have to change it with setxkbmap although xorg.conf clearly states a german layout
[16:14] <unop> Enselic, that's to ensure there is no spurious disk access when the kernel is initially loading (bugs, hardware issues, etc) - the kernel remounts the root volume as rw later on in the bootstrap.
[16:14] <beautifulsnow> ruschi,  #ubuntu+1
[16:14] <ruschi> thanks
[16:14] <wers> yep usser

[16:22] <usser> wers, restart opera
[16:22] <gmm46> it wont make a ﻿|
[16:22] <danielther_> KDB9000_RGR, again thanks for your help. CYA
[16:24] <malib1> Is anyone here familiar with DAR?
[16:24] <KDB9000> ok, can someone help me with my problem with gnome connect to server using ssh and making it use my ssh keys to auth to the server?
[16:24] <malib1> I just made my first full backup.. But I'm having trouble figuring out how to restore an entire directory structure
[16:25] <wers> did that usser
[16:25] <wers> still grey
[16:25] <gmm46> how do u view the processes
[16:25] <komputes> malib1: what method did you use to backup?
[16:25] <AlexW23> where is libapache2-mod-security on ubuntu
[16:25] <gmm46> ?
[16:25] <airtonix> how would i go about turning on text file preview inside the icon of the textfile?
[16:26] <kdubois> why does ubuntu refuse to run my .xinitrc script on login?
[16:26] <AlexW23> E: Couldn't find package libapache2-mod-security
[16:26] <yomm> kdubois , did you make it executable ?
[16:26] <gmm46> why does ubuntu not have a process manager? because i need to end firefox.
[16:26] <airtonix> gmm46, it does ....several
[16:27] <shandiddy> anyone know how to remove or disable "avahi". It has stopped my NIC connection
[16:27] <gmm46> where?
[16:27] <gmm46> i cant find any airtonix
[16:27] <kdubois> yomm: gah, i'm retarded. :D thanks for the suggestion
[16:27] <airtonix> gmm46, system -> admin -> system monitor : process
[16:27] <gmm46> thx
[16:27] <airtonix> gmm46, or you can use a ncurses type one by installing : htop : sudo apt-get install htop
[16:28] <airtonix> gmm46, or you can use:  sudo killall firefox
[16:28] <BioNik_> Hi, how can I install ubuntu on a usb-disk without all the extra apps i don't need? Disk is too small for all the crap on the cd :)
[16:28] <gmm46> thx
[16:28] <gmm46> and also
[16:28] <yomm> what crap ? :)
[16:28] <gmm46> how to u make a script file?
[16:28] <gmm46> that u can edit and run from the desktop
[16:28] <airtonix> gmm46, if killall wont work, try determining the real process name of firefox and then : sudo killall <firefoxname> -9
[16:29] <AlexW23> Where did mod secuirty go :()
[16:29] <airtonix> gmm46, investigate nautilus scripts
[16:29] <gmm46> how
[16:29] <neil_d> how do I add a custom init.d script to the default startup ?
[16:29] <gmm46> like i said before im a noob when it comes to ubuntu
[16:29] <icedwater> gmm46, what sort of scripts were you looking for?
[16:29] <gmm46> but i do know simple things
[16:29] <airtonix> !who | gmm46
[16:29] <llisys> where can i find asp/php free source code?
[16:30] <llisys> or should i ask this somewhere else
[16:30] <webfarmer> llisys pscode.com?
[16:30] <icedwater> Lots of places, llisys - have you tried Google?
[16:30] <airtonix> gmm46, are you using gnome?
[16:30] <billybongo> gmm | is shift-\ on my keyboard
[16:30] <llisys> i meant on peoples recommendation
[16:30] <yomm> !who | yomm
[16:30] <icedwater> It depends... I haven't had the chance to look for too much code
[16:30] <billybongo> llisys: have you tried #php ?
[16:30] <llisys> nope
[16:30] <llisys> i shall do
[16:31] <llisys> thx
[16:33] <Cheery> hmm, realised something great while ago
[16:33] <colton> if I wanted to install visual studio on a ubuntu or debian system, how could I do this?
[16:33] <webfarmer> colton use wine
[16:34] <webfarmer> you’ll probably get nowhere
[16:34] <colton> Wine? Like boohoo?
[16:34] <Axz> you cant use Vb on wine :)
[16:34] <malib1> I can't believe how difficult it is to make a simple backup of a large directory on DVD iwth ubuntu..I had high hopes for DAR but it is not yet fully functional.  Anyone know of a DAR-like utility that works??
[16:34] <webfarmer> but then try and get something called vmware and vmware-toolz
[16:34] <Cheery> take dried fruits, nuts of various sorts, then drop handful of them into a large cup of unflavoured yoghurt
[16:34] <colton> Oh, I see, thx.
[16:34] <atlef> malib1: what is dar
[16:34] <webfarmer> and go install a copy of windows... then do windows crap on windows...
[16:34] <webfarmer> I hate windows
[16:35] <webfarmer> makes you think in a box
[16:35] <malib1> atlef: It makes x-sized archive files that can be wirtten to DVD.. and files can be restored from there -in theory-
[16:35] <Elda> Or type line ... by ,,, line.  Instead of in complete thoughts? >.>
[16:35] <Whitor> Ok. This really really really annoying thing keeps happening. On multiple computers of mine, all running unmodified default 8.04 installs. Both my Desktop and laptop in the Network configuration applet... when you /uncheck/ a box next to an adapter, the box momentarily unchecks itself (properly) but then rechecks itself on its own!!! leaving me to wonder whether the device has actually been disabled or not.   If I click it again (after waiting an
[16:35] <Whitor>  annoying amount of time for it to ungrey itself) it will stay unchecked the second time. ... I go through this every day.
[16:35] <atlef> colton: you could install windows in a virtual enviroment
[16:36] <lolcatz> does anyone know why ubuntu eats 8Gb of ram?    Mem: 8190672k total,  8096628k used,    94044k free,  2018456k buffers
[16:36] <atlef> malib1: ok
[16:36] <malib1> komputes: I backed up a directory into a 4-volume dar archive
[16:36] <atlef> lolcatz: check top
[16:36] <Utukku> buenas, puedo hacer una pregunta sobre swap?
[16:36] <Whitor> colton, What atlef said...
[16:36] <DareDevil> como hago para descargar el kernel precompilado de fedora??
[16:36] <LjL> !es | Utukku
[16:36] <AlexW23> What happened to ubuntu and modsecuirty
[16:36] <komputes> malib1: ok, I have never done this but what is the issue you're having?
[16:36] <LjL> DareDevil: ^
[16:36] <airtonix> !nautilus-scripts
[16:37] <Whitor> DareDevil, try #Ubuntu-es
[16:37] <airtonix> !info nautilus-scripts
[16:37] <lolcatz> atlef: i checked top. Xorg 0.6% -- no zimbie..
[16:37] <airtonix> meh
[16:37] <lolcatz> atlef: my vm.swappiness = 0
[16:37] <Cheery> ubuntu uses 400MB with me
[16:37] <AlexW23> !info modsecuirty
[16:37] <AlexW23> !info modsecurity
[16:37] <Utukku> tks
[16:37] <colton> I could install it in a virtual environment, ok, so then should I use wine, or vmware, what do you suggest?
[16:37] <malib1> komputes: DAR has a really funny way of restoring... To use the database you need dar_manager... but it has problems calling DAR for even medium-sized restores
[16:37] <lolcatz> it used to eat about 400MiB untill i installed 64bit version today...
[16:38] <Whitor> colton, wine is not a virtual environment... use vmware or virtualbox for a vm windows
[16:38] <atlef> lolcatz: and what uses your ram then, when you look in top?
[16:38] <lolcatz> atlef: literally, nothing!..
[16:38] <malib1> komputes: Don't worry about it.. Thanks for wanting to help though
[16:38] <neil_d> how do I add a custom init.d script to the default startup ?
[16:39] <lolcatz> i'm confused... Xorg 0.6, 0.4 pidgin everything else id 0.0
[16:39] <lolcatz> *is
[16:39] <Deiselton> hey guys i need some help setting up ubuntu... im trying to find various effects ive seen.... first is how do i set the opasity for certain windows.... second is how do i add the flame minimize/maximise window effect?
[16:39] <IntuitiveNipple> neil_d: update-rc.d
[16:39] <ikonia> !compiz > Deiselton
[16:40] <Whitor> Deiselton, Ask that in #compiz
[16:40] <ikonia> !ccsm > Deiselton
[16:40] <lolcatz> !ccsm > lolcatz
[16:40] <colton> I just had a metaphysical epiphany
[16:40] <Whitor> Deiselton, you need to enable desktop efects and install Compiz Settings Manager (ccsm)
[16:40] <atlef> lolcatz: and system monitor?
[16:40] <Muelli> neil_d: simple. Add a script to /etc/init.d/ and reference it in /etc/rc*.d/. Just follow the other scripts there
[16:40] <lolcatz> !sex > lolcatz
[16:41] <wexfordman> afternoon all
[16:41] <Deiselton> yeah i did that.. cant find a way to do the opacisty for each window separate... and i cant find a way to add the flame effect ive seen in some youtube video
[16:41] <neil_d> IntuitiveNipple: thanks.
[16:41] <lolcatz> !world_domination > lolcatz
[16:41] <IntuitiveNipple> Muelli: That's what update-rc.d is for
[16:41] <ikonia> lolcatz stopp messing with the bot please
[16:41] <lolcatz> crap
[16:41] <lolcatz> oh sorry
[16:41] <ikonia> !botabuse > lolcatz
[16:41] <wexfordman> nub looking for some assistance
[16:42] <wexfordman> I am looking to connect to a buffaloe linkstation on my lan
[16:42] <Muelli> IntuitiveNipple: oh, I'm not aware of that any modern stuff ;-) But good to know. thanks
[16:43] <komputes> malib1: do you think you are doing something wrong or do you think it's a bug?
[16:44] <wexfordman> can anyone help me map a network drive ?:-D
[16:44] <ikonia> wexfordman: what's the issue
[16:44] <wexfordman> ikonia, the issue is mainly that I'm clueless !!
[16:44] <Axz> Guys where to find tutorial for FF3 64bit and Flash
[16:45] <rsc-> Axz, are you using intrepid?
[16:45] <ikonia> Axz: install the package "flashplugin-nonfree" - thats all you need
[16:45] <rsc-> err, hardy? (sorry)
[16:45] <ikonia> wexfordman: what have you tried so far ?
[16:45] <Axz> right thanks
[16:45] <colton> In order to install windows on a virtual machine, I would need to purchase a windows distro, correct?
[16:45] <ikonia> colton: you would need a valid windows license, yes
[16:45] <rsc-> axz: just visit any flash site and when prompted to install, just install it. also, ikonia's suggestion also works (terminal: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree)
[16:45] <Siyara> @colton jup
[16:45] <atlef> colton: eh, do you have windows cd
[16:46] <wexfordman> I can see the the network drive in network servers under windows network, I want to be able to have it as a shortcut on my desktop if possible
[16:46] <colton> atlef: yes
[16:46] <atlef> colton: then use that
[16:46] <ikonia> wexfordman: if you go to "places" and "connect network drive" and mount it as "windows share" you'll see a short cut on your desktop
[16:46] <colton> atlef: but It's already installed on another machine.
[16:47] <colton> atlef: can I install on more than one machine?
[16:47] <ikonia> colton: you need a valid windows license, thats all,
[16:47] <ikonia> colton: no - it's 1 license per machine
[16:47] <atlef> colton: install virtualbox or vmware and install win there
[16:47] <colton> K Thx
[16:47] <ikonia> atlef: that does change his need for a valid license
[16:47] <wexfordman> hi ikonia, i dont have that option visible
[16:47] <ikonia> wexfordman: what do you see in the places menu
[16:47] <ikonia> wexfordman: "connect to" ?
[16:47] <atlef> ikonia: ok, no need to update it nor register, but ok
[16:48] <ikonia> atlef: no - it's illegal, you need a valid windows license
[16:48] <atlef> ikonia: ok
[16:48] <dexter> we wanted  to start a glug in our college...can you provide some useful tips on how to start
[16:48] <ikonia> dexter: what's "glug"
[16:48] <wexfordman> home folder, desktop etc, i do have "network" listed under places though
[16:49] <wexfordman> oh, I also have connect to server, that might be it
[16:49] <fizk> Youtube isn't displaying videos today.....is this happening for you guys as well?
[16:49] <ikonia> wexfordman: install the package "samba" first of all, then look
[16:49] <ikonia> wexfordman: yes, connect to server
[16:49] <ikonia> fizk: no
[16:49] <bobbo> dexter: 'popey' in #ubuntu-uk is part of the UK LUG movement, he could probably help you out
[16:50] <atlef> colton: http://www.howtoforge.com/vmware_converter_windows_linux
[16:50] <SlimeyPete> dexter: you might find some tips on lug.org.uk and the accompanying IRC server
[16:50] <fizk> What could be the cause??
[16:50] <nox-Hand_> How will I get my 855GM (Intel) graphics card to work with 3d under Linux? 810i driver I think, buthow?

[16:50] <wexfordman> class. thanks Ikonia, easy when you see it :-) Can I rename the desktop icon ?
[16:51] <atlef> colton: let's you convert your already installed windows to a vmware image
[16:51] <ikonia> wexfordman: if you want
[16:51] <nox-Hand_> !810i
[16:51] <nox-Hand_> !i810
[16:51] <nox-Hand_> *goes to hide*
[16:52] <wexfordman> thanks,  how do I cahnge the name :-!
[16:53] <ikonia> wexfordman right click on it, like windows
[16:54] <wexfordman> sry, i did this rename is greyed out!

[16:56] <matkix> Is there a good open source program that can be used to image / backup and restore computers running windows over a network?
[16:56] <ikonia> matkix: nothing I'd say fit for production
[16:56] <atlef> matkix: clonezilla
[16:57] <dexter> its an acronym for GNU Linux User's Group
[16:57] <ikonia> dexter join #ubuntu-offtopic for that sort of discussion please, this is for support questions only
[16:57] <pluffsy> ikonia: thank you.

[17:01] <Massiv0r> can anyone help me prevent formatting?
[17:02] <Massiv0r> please i really need your help i cant resetup all the machine
[17:02] <jim_p> Massiv0r: can you repeat?
[17:02] <atlef> Massiv0r: what do you mean
[17:02] <Massiv0r> i mean that 3-4 days ago i tried to Hibernate my computer and after that some errors appeared
[17:02] <HymnToLife> bobbo: nor teally. As the name implies, it is only the core of KDE "kdelibs and kdebase", not all of it
[17:03] <HymnToLife> really*
[17:03] <Massiv0r> first of all the Hibernation didn't work and it was like power off after that every time i leave my pc closed for hours
[17:03] <HymnToLife> blame Intel
[17:03] <Massiv0r> the machine firstly goes to CTRL + ALT + F8 (the black screen) and after 3-4 secs runs gdm and asks me to login even thought i have auto-login enabled
[17:03] <linduxed> hey guys, im trying to sync the package repos an stuff fails...anyone else exeriencing this?
[17:04] <HymnToLife> linduxed: define "stuff" please
[17:04] <bobbo> HymnToLife: enough to run the kde desktop environment from a gdm session though, which is all some people need...
[17:04] <Massiv0r> also everytime i close my pc it goes again to ctrl + alt + f8 and then tells me smth about network manager errors and stuff
[17:04] <atlef> Massiv0r: and when you login?
[17:04] <Massiv0r> works fine when i login
[17:04] <Cheery> There's one intriguing thing in screensavers
[17:04] <Massiv0r> but now i can't even press the Exit button it doesn't appear at all
[17:04] <Cheery> where to find source code for galaxy screensaver?
[17:05] <linduxed> HymnToLife: basically when that usual window pops up after selecting, say, a new update source like proposed, it stops on 15 out of 39 and stays there
[17:05] <Massiv0r> i can't explain
[17:05] <atlef> Massiv0r: have you tried ctrl-alt-backspace
[17:05] <HymnToLife> sudo apt-get update   from terminal
[17:05] <HymnToLife> and paste what you get
[17:05] <ikonia> Cheery: in the source package
[17:05] <Cheery> hmm
[17:05] <Massiv0r> yes when i press the exit button whole computer freezes
[17:05] <Massiv0r> even if i restart
[17:05] <bobbo> Cheery: apt-get source <packagename>
[17:05] <Massiv0r> even if i do whatever
[17:05] <Cheery> I'd like to find it online somewhere as tgz or bz2
[17:06] <ikonia> Cheery: ok - then search for it
[17:06] <HymnToLife> Cheery: http://packages.ubuntu.com
[17:06] <Massiv0r> if i do press ctrl alt and backspace goes ok
[17:06] <HymnToLife> right panel
[17:06] <obvio171> is there any way to edit psd (photoshop) files on Ubuntu?
[17:06] <atlef> Massiv0r: even when you try ctrl-alt-backspace
[17:06] <ikonia> obvio171: not sure if gimp can deal with it
[17:06] <atlef> Massiv0r: ok
[17:06] <Massiv0r> if i do try ctrl alt backspace it is ok but if i login again and try exit same happens
[17:06] <DDT> hello people
[17:06] <DDT> !!
[17:06] <Massiv0r> i can't reconfigure the whole things
[17:07] <Massiv0r> i dont have the courage to do another one install
[17:07] <atlef> Massiv0r: maybe file a bug at launchpad or see if there are anyone else who has experienced this
[17:07] <Massiv0r> i searched a lot
[17:07] <Massiv0r> nothing
[17:07] <linduxed> HymnToLife: http://rafb.net/p/aHa5Gh37.html
[17:07] <Massiv0r> i can't wait for like a millenium to take a response
[17:07] <Massiv0r> i hoped we could solve this very thing today
[17:07] <hendrixski> I just tried to burn some CD's with .wav files and it won't play on my CD player... do I need to do something special for music CD's?
[17:07] <ikonia> Massiv0r log a bug
[17:08] <arvind_khadri> Massiv0r, you can save the current packages using aptoncd
[17:08] <reg_jaka> #surabaya
[17:08] <Massiv0r> arwind_khadri i will need to reconfigure many stuff and that can take like a week
[17:09] <atlef> arvind_khadri: would it not be simpler to save a list in synaptic?
[17:09] <Massiv0r> can't i fix this some how today?
[17:09] <nalka> Hi, Problem: sudo su OTHER_USER -c SCRIPT.sh --> doesn't work. I run it from a the OTHER_USER shell and it's OK. Help!!
[17:09] <ikonia> Massiv0r: if it's a software bug, no , I suggest you log a bug at launchpad straight away to get things moving
[17:09] <Axz> Guy why is Ktorrent without a icon?
[17:09] <Axz> guys*
[17:09] <atlef> Massiv0r: well, if you have a seperate partition with /home, then nothing needs to be configured
[17:09] <Massiv0r> ikonia i posted a thread and still waiting for a reply for days
[17:09] <ikonia> nalka: sudo su -c is not needed, just sudo -c user
[17:09] <Massiv0r> nope,same direction
[17:09] <Axz> i installed ktorrent on my Gnome desktop and its not showing up with icon
[17:09] <obvio171> ikonia: apparently it can open it, but i can't edit some text inside it :-/
[17:10] <ikonia> Massiv0r where did you post a thrad
[17:10] <ikonia> thread
[17:10] <arvind_khadri> atlef, i havent used that method... so didnt suggest that :)
[17:10] <Massiv0r> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5859992#post5859992
[17:10] <linduxed> HymnToLife: this just happened: http://rafb.net/p/nE1R0n41.html
[17:10] <atlef> arvind_khadri: ok
[17:10] <Massiv0r> i made like 10 bumps and not even a reply
[17:10] <atlef> arvind_khadri: neither have i, but have read about it
[17:10] <nalka> ikonia: checking ...
[17:10] <bobbo> Axz: have you tried just restarting your gnome session?
[17:11] <arvind_khadri> atlef, saving the list needs the packages to be downloaded again, i think
[17:11] <Axz> bobbo, no i will try it now
[17:11] <Massiv0r> i'm so desperate that would even give my Call of duty 2 key in order to have it fixxed
[17:11] <atlef> arvind_khadri: yes, but aptoncd may take a lot of space
[17:11] <Massiv0r> i can't reinstall the whole system,im bored to hell
[17:11] <arvind_khadri> atlef, on the HDD?
[17:12] <atlef> arvind_khadri: no on cd
[17:12] <HymnToLife> linduxed: most likely a problem with the se. mirror
[17:12] <Axz> bobbo, yeps nothing same without icon
[17:12] <HymnToLife> if you don't absolutely need to update right now, just wait it over
[17:12] <linduxed> HymnToLife: good idea
[17:12] <HymnToLife> otherwise, edit your sources.list to use another mirror
[17:12] <atlef> arvind_khadri: of course depending on the amount of programs installed
[17:12] <trupheenix> hi i have a process running on another ubuntu box in it's terminal. is there anyway i can connect/join to that terminal from my machine and see the progress of that process?
[17:12] <arvind_khadri> atlef, depends how much have you downloaded... a dvd would suffice anyways... and you can select whatever you want
[17:12] <trupheenix> ﻿hi i have a process running on another ubuntu box in it's terminal. is there anyway i can connect/join to that terminal from my machine and see the progress of that process?
[17:12] <nalka> ikonia: I can't run the script at gnome startup. When I run it from shell there is no problem: I can reproduce the probmel when I write from shell sudo su [USER] ...

[17:13] <trupheenix> arvind_khadri: yes i want to know how i can do it thru ssh
[17:14] <Massiv0r> HyantoLife,if you were at my situation you would do worst

[17:15] <blip-> hi, how can i find out the version of java6 in the repos using apt-get/apt-cache ?   I did "apt-cache showpkg sun-java6-bin", the output includes the string "6-06-0ubuntu1"  .. is that the java version or the package date ?
[17:15] <Axz> sure sec
[17:15] <speener> oh, got it
[17:15] <arvind_khadri> trupheenix, after you login use the machine as its yours
[17:15] <Massiv0r> so i'm forced to format and config the setup for days cause i can't fix a damn bug?
[17:15] <airtonix> has anyone compiled the latest openobex from http://triq.net/obexftp/ ?
[17:15] <trupheenix> arvind_khadri: i have a process running on another ubuntu box in it's terminal. is there anyway i can connect/join to that terminal from my machine and see the progress of that process?
[17:15] <Massiv0r> why all these happen only to me?
[17:16] <Axz> bobbo, uhmm /usr/share/applications/kde/ktorrent.desktop: No such file or directory
[17:16] <arvind_khadri> trupheenix, what happens when you use ps -e
[17:16] <arvind_khadri> speener, kubuntu-kde4-desktop
[17:16] <Axz> isnt it KDE4?
[17:16] <bobbo> Axz: weird, you are running hardy?
[17:16] <Axz> yes
[17:16] <airtonix> trupheenix, you would of had to run "screen" first before running the prog your refering to
[17:16] <speener> thanx man
[17:16] <stauffer> r irc.gweep.net
[17:16] <arvind_khadri> speener, welcome
[17:17] <bobbo> Axz: really strange
[17:17] <trupheenix> arvind_khadri: i can see the list of processes which run
[17:17] <Axz> sec
[17:17] <Massiv0r> arwin_khadri, can you focus on my problem please?
[17:17] <Axz> its KDE4
[17:17] <Axz> :)
[17:17] <arvind_khadri> trupheenix, running on that machine?
[17:17] <trupheenix> arvind_khadri: yes on that machine
[17:17] <arvind_khadri> Massiv0r, what is it :)
[17:17] <Axz> bobbo, got it
[17:17] <Axz> sec
[17:17] <ikonia> Massiv0r: you're going to need to log a bug for it
[17:17] <arvind_khadri> trupheenix, you want to kill it ?
[17:17] <ikonia> Massiv0r: it sounds like a software issue
[17:17] <Axz> bobbo, http://pastebin.com/m11f06929
[17:18] <Massiv0r> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5859992#post5859992 (this one)
[17:18] <atlef> Massiv0r: move /home to a seperate partition, see http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2006/01/29/move-home-to-its-own-partition/. Do an aptoncd and your install should take less than an hour.
[17:18] <ikonia> Massiv0r: love a bug - not a forum post
[17:18] <Axz> btw bobbo it was /usr/share/applications/kde4/ktorrent.desktop
[17:18] <trupheenix> arvind_khadri: i want to see what it's outputting on the other terminal
[17:18] <Axz> not /usr/share/applications/kde/ktorrent.desktop
[17:18] <Massiv0r> atlef, what if the problem is inside /home and remains?
[17:18] <bobbo> Axz: strange, cant see why gnome wouldnt pick that up...
[17:19] <Axz> yeah
[17:19] <arvind_khadri> trupheenix, you can make that process direct its output to a file and see it... or maybe use X forwarding
[17:19] <bobbo> Axz: copy it into /usr/share/applications (the ktorrent.desktop file) and restart gnome and if that doesnt work, sorry im not sure :/
[17:19] <airtonix> trupheenix, next time , before running that program run screen first
[17:19] <airtonix> trupheenix, then when you need to deal with it , you can re-connect tot a screen session
[17:19] <atlef> Massiv0r: well, then it will be futile and you will be back here
[17:19] <ikonia> Massiv0r: if you boot into single user mode, and reboot, that should take your laptop out hibernation and it "should" stop reading the hibernation file
[17:19] <airtonix> !screen | trupheenix
[17:20] <v4vijayakumar> where I can find source for games included in ubuntu, like four-in-a-row
[17:20] <Massiv0r> ikonia, i have Desktop PC who said about Laptop?
[17:20] <ikonia> v4vijayakumar: in the source package of the package
[17:20] <airtonix> trupheenix, sudo apt-get install screen
[17:20] <bobbo> v4vijayakumar: apt-get source <package-name>
[17:20] <arvind_khadri> v4vijayakumar, you can use apt-get source
[17:20] <ikonia> Massiv0r ok - boot into single user mode and it will bring your desktop out of hibernation
[17:20] <Massiv0r> ikonia, i know it should you are right but cause i tried all these appeared
[17:20] <v4vijayakumar> thanks
[17:20] <ikonia> Massiv0r: how did you boot into single user mode
[17:20] <Massiv0r> ikonia, i have done like 10k restarts
[17:20] <ikonia> Massiv0r: how did you boot into single user mode
[17:21] <Ipswitch> Hey everyone.
[17:21] <Massiv0r> ikonia,normal boot as always with restart
[17:21] <arvind_khadri> !hi | Ipswitch
[17:21] <gaintsura> is there a way to 'purge' any installations/libraries that are no longer required?
[17:21] <Ipswitch> thankx guys.
[17:21] <ikonia> Massiv0r: right - this is why your not getting help, your not listening and trying to be smart
[17:21] <fogogobo> Ipswitch: no prob
[17:21] <arvind_khadri> gaintsura, installations?
[17:21] <Axz> brb reboot
[17:21] <ikonia> Massiv0r: 1.) picking up on laptop desktop, was a pointless comment 2.) I said boot into "single user mode" not restart
[17:21] <kenny70452> Info: os= hardy 8041, compaq laptop, 802 broadcom 4311 wireless.   Problem:  I've tried numerous ways to get wireless working.  I had it working at one time but after a few days I added some packages and screwed it up so bad I had to reinstall hardy.  Since haven't gotten it to work.  Now fresh install and asking for tried and true method to get wireless up.  Can't remember which method...
[17:21] <kenny70452> ...worked before and lost my bookmarks.  I did backup the working install but it hung in reboot. TIA
[17:21] <gaintsura> arvind_khadri: I've installed/upgraded a lot of stuff, want to clean up whatever is no longer used
[17:21] <khyros> gaintsura: i think apt-cache clean
[17:22] <arvind_khadri> gaintsura, you can clean the cache by sudo apt-get autoclean
[17:22] <gaintsura> thanks
[17:22] <Turski> and autoremove
[17:22] <atlef> gaintsura: also apt-get autoremove
[17:22] <Axz> bobbo, nope nothing
[17:22] <gaintsura> thanks atlef
[17:23] <bobbo> Axz: very strange, i guess you'll have to make your own in the menu editor then
[17:23] <Massiv0r> ikonia, i do try to listen and certainly i don't try to be smart since i have this problem,but i;m trying to tell you i used to login with normal boot (auto-grub) and also i said about laptop cause laptops have their own hibernations so it could be mixed
[17:23] <arvind_khadri> gaintsura, and there is a package to see orphan dependencies deborphan
[17:23] <Ipswitch> Seems i have a problem with my newly installed ubuntu.The package manager doesnt seem to be able to download any updates or programs.Anyone have any clue why?Im on a uni network if that helps.
[17:23] <v4vijayakumar> I am developing a two players game, so I am looking for some kind of algorithm to make computer to play either of players :)
[17:23] <ikonia> Massiv0r I said boot into "SINGLE USER MODE"
[17:23] <ikonia> Massiv0r: you said you had done this - you have not
[17:23] <Julie> =
[17:23] <mrunagi> what is the cli command when you are cp'ing to not overwrite?
[17:23] <Axz> bobbo, yeah i will try to be creative after the dinner :P
[17:23] <Axz> thanks anyhow
[17:23] <Massiv0r> ikonia, i don't know what that single user mode is
[17:23] <ikonia> mrunagi: cp -i - it's already aliased
[17:24] <bobbo> Axz: no proble, sorry i couldnt get it fixed :/
[17:24] <ikonia> Massiv0r so why did you said you'd done that "I've tried" when I told you to do it
[17:24] <arvind_khadri> Ipswitch, what does sudo apt-get install -f return?
[17:24] <Massiv0r> ikonia, i thought you was talking about normal login with normal privilages account
[17:24] <waz_> Help,. i installed ubuntu on my vmware as guest in my windows system. is it possible that it can recognize my nvidia 8800 video card?
[17:24] <c4pt> anyone know that site to lookup device/vendor id's?
[17:24] <ikonia> Massiv0r: good luck with it.
[17:24] <ikonia> waz_: it doesn't have hardware internaction
[17:24] <arvind_khadri> Ipswitch, and how do you know its not able to download the update?
[17:25] <ikonia> waz_: #vmware will explain the issues of hardware internaction in vmware
[17:25] <Ipswitch> arvind : sorry bro.im a noob when it comes to ubuntu...wat do u mean exactly?
[17:25] <airtonix> ok question rephrased per openobex: i downloaded this http://triq.net/obexftp/openobex-svn.gitdump.bz2 and i unpacked it but im not entirely sure how to go about compiling it...seems to be a blob file containing many files...in text form...how does one seperate it ?
[17:25] <waz_> thankz
[17:25] <Ipswitch> wait got it.it shud be in the termianl.ryt.
[17:25] <airtonix> might be offtopic...apologies
[17:25] <arvind_khadri> Ipswitch, ya
[17:25] <ikonia> airtonix: there should be a README or INSTALL file with it
[17:25] <airtonix> ikonia, nada....only one file in it
[17:25] <Massiv0r> ikonia, you ask me to do things that i don't know and then you are telling me i try to be smart,i'm the wrong one or you are angry? anyway i don't expect to gain any help since none really cares,thanks thought i will login in "SINGLE USER MODE"
[17:26] <ikonia> Massiv0r people care and have been trying to help you, but you don't listen
[17:26] <Massiv0r> cause now i use "MULTI USERS MODE".
[17:26] <airtonix> ikonia, the one file however...upon inpection in a text editor does seem to be a concatenated bunch of files
[17:26] <ikonia> airtonix: check the online docs
[17:26] <yunosh> hi, is there an official archive with discontinued ubuntu versions?
[17:27] <Flannel> Massiv0r: Choose Recovery console from the GRUB menu.  You may need to hit escape after your POST screen to see the grub menu.
[17:27] <airtonix> ikonia, aye i think ill wait till tomorrow for the openobex channel to wake up...seems to have gone to sleep
[17:27] <Flannel> yunosh: old-releases.ubuntu.com
[17:27] <yunosh> archive.ubuntu.com only contains versions that have not EOLed
[17:27] <yunosh> Flannel: thanks
[17:27] <Massiv0r> flannel, if i do so then what should i do?
[17:27] <Ipswitch> arvind﻿:it returned 0 upgraded, 0 to everything.
[17:27] <Flannel> Massiv0r: That's how you get into the recovery console (single user mode).
[17:28] <arvind_khadri> Ipswitch, paste the output at paste.ubuntu.com
[17:28] <Ipswitch> arvind: well,i figured it shudnt take that long to down load the thelist.waited 10minutes and still nothing
[17:28] <Massiv0r> Flannel, thanks a lot for the information,but what im supposed to do there in order to fix the issue ?
[17:28] <maverick340> i am unable to see PCs connected on lan in my college , all running winxp
[17:28] <Ipswitch> ok.sure thing.give me a sec
[17:28] <maverick340> when i got to smb:///workgroup/
[17:28] <maverick340> it shows nothing
[17:29] <maverick340> 0 items
[17:29] <arvind_khadri> Ipswitch, and how do you say that its not working... time depends upon your connection and the mirror at your country
[17:29] <Flannel> Massiv0r: once you get there, you're going to simply reboot.  so, shutdown -r now
[17:29] <Massiv0r> Flannel, and that might fix the issue? sorry for repeating but i don't know much stuff about
[17:30] <arvind_khadri> gharz, were you able to fix the gpg problem?
[17:30] <Flannel> Massiv0r: People have said that it ought to a few times, yes.
[17:30] <v4vijayakumar> what is the package name for chess game?
[17:30] <Massiv0r> Flannel, fine thanks =)
[17:30] <blueapples> hey can anyone help me get my wireless working on MacBook? ath9k doesn't seem to work and I can't even get ndiswrapper to work....
[17:30] <gharz> guys, i've just manually installed java and i want to permanently include the /bin folders in my $PATH... what's the command? i tried exporting it but the $PATH doesn't change
[17:30] <ikonia> Flannel: worst case senario, boot into single user mode and delete the hibernation file
[17:30] <khyros> v4vijayakumar: apt-cache search chess
[17:31] <Ipswitch> arvind:point taken but im on a pretty descent connection.Where am i suposed to paste the output?paste.ubuntu.com,ryt?wat shud i use to get there?firefox?
[17:31] <Ipswitch> *point
[17:31] <arvind_khadri> Ipswitch, any browser you use :)
[17:32] <arvind_khadri> Ipswitch, give me back the URL it returns :)
[17:32] <gharz> arvind_khadri: no. :(
[17:32] <arvind_khadri> gharz, you will have to manually add the keys
[17:33] <gharz> i tried the command given to me but i was getting the same error
[17:33] <gharz> i tried adding it
[17:33] <gharz> arvind_khadri: i used to find one site in ubuntu wiki but i couldn't find it.
[17:34] <arvind_khadri> gharz, hang on
[17:34] <gharz> ok
[17:34] <gharz> thanks!
[17:34] <Ipswitch> arvind: says connection failed.
[17:35] <elupus> hmm.. let's try this again.. "sudo apt-get source xserver-xorg-video-intel" gives "Unable to find a source package for xserver-xorg-video-intel" so how should i go about to get the source of a ubuntu display driver?
[17:35] <elupus> this is hardy now
[17:36] <Ipswitch> hold on,wrong settings.sort it out.
[17:36] <hmmz> hi
[17:36] <hmmz> how can i open wireless menu on ubuntu
[17:36] <hmmz> i want to see avaliable networks?
[17:36] <v4vijayakumar> "apt-get source gnuchess" is failed saying "sh: dpkg-source: not found" :(
[17:36] <Ipswitch> arvind: its posted
[17:36] <hmmz> it starts at beginning of ubuntu but i closed it wrongly and i cannot find it again
[17:37] <linduxed> HymnToLife: switching repo did it, swedish servers might be down for maintenance
[17:37] <Ipswitch> http://paste.ubuntu.com/50922/
[17:37] <hmmz> what's the command name of wireless tool?
[17:37] <blueapples> hmmz: wicd is the only tool i know of that shows a list of networks
[17:37] <khyros> v4vvijayakumar: apt-get install gnuchess
[17:37] <hmmz> gui tool
[17:37] <Dream_Beam> hmmz: look for wicd
[17:37] <v4vijayakumar> khyros, I am downloading source..
[17:37] <khyros> oh
[17:37] <khyros> than search for source on the web not repo
[17:37] <blueapples> thing is, for me, wicd lists networks just fine, but then when i try to connect, it just sits at "Getting IP address" and does nothing
[17:37] <arvind_khadri> Ipswitch, my name is arvind_khadri  use tab for completion and have you enabled the repo's?
[17:38] <Dream_Beam> Cream_Team: heya!
[17:38] <Cream_Team> Dream_Beam: hai!
[17:38] <mrunagi> so cp -v -r -i /source/dir /dest/dir is going to allow me to only copy files that i havent already?
[17:38] <arvind_khadri> gharz, sudo apt-key add <key>
[17:38] <Dream_Beam> Cream_Team: how can i change my theme?
[17:38] <gharz> arvind_khadri: the problem is what is the <key>
[17:39] <Cream_Team> Dream_Beam: ehm, i think you must right-click on your "my pc" icon
[17:39] <arvind_khadri> gharz, its the one you get in the error :)
[17:39] <Dream_Beam> Dream_Beam: not left click?
[17:39] <Ipswitch> arvind_khadri : sorry about that bro.Repo's?
[17:39] <arvind_khadri> gharz, pm me the message
[17:39] <hmmz> Dream_Beam i couldn't find wicd
[17:39] <Cream_Team> Dream_Beam: no, that would open it.
[17:39] <hmmz> is there anything?
[17:39] <gharz> ok
[17:39] <gharz> arvind_khadri: i can't do it right now. i switched to windows .:(
[17:39] <Dream_Beam> hmmz: the radar
[17:39] <arvind_khadri> !repo > Ipswitch
[17:39] <gharz> hold on.
[17:39] <Cream_Team> hmmz: you might be thinking of Network Manager
[17:39] <gharz> i'll just turn on the machine
[17:40] <arvind_khadri> gharz, thats ok
[17:40] <SaS`> is there a gui application in heron that shows hardware resources/drivers associated ?
[17:40] <blueapples> Dream_Beam: theme for gnome / gtk?
[17:40] <arvind_khadri> gharz, hang on i'll search the logs
[17:40] <hmmz> Cream_Beam there isn't radar too
[17:40] <hmmz> Cream_Beam how can i open network manager?
[17:40] <Dream_Beam> hmmz: you mean me?
[17:40] <tuxx1> anyone use a medion akoya e1210 ?
[17:40] <hmmz> ah sorry
[17:40] <hmmz> :)
[17:40] <hmmz> yes
[17:40] <lorddarkpat_> is this place appropriate for mailserver help?
[17:41] <stoner> hey guys, does ubuntu have a tcpdump command like freebsd?=
[17:41] <blueapples> System > Preferences > Appearance.... has the gtk theme
[17:41] <blueapples> i don't know if that's what you're talking about though
[17:41] <kitche> stoner: yes you have to install it though
[17:42] <blueapples> hmmz: i recommend using wicd instead of network manager, but that is at System > Administration > Network
[17:42] <bobbo> lorddarkpat_: #ubuntu-server may be a better place to ask, lots of server experts in there
[17:43] <stoner> kitche, got it thanks.. one last thing, how can i change the host of my ubuntu?
[17:44] <arvind_khadri> Ipswitch, reading the factoid?
[17:44] <arvind_khadri> !host | stoner
[17:44] <blueapples> so it looks like 2.6.27 will have ath9k built in ... anyone know when that will make it into ubuntu? i ca't get this sh!t to work..
[17:44] <arvind_khadri> !hosts | StoneApple
[17:44] <Ipswitch> arvind_khadri: if im on a proxy,should i enter my settings anywhere?
[17:45] <bobbo> !hostname | stoner
[17:45] <John0321> !hosts arvind_khadri
[17:45] <Massiv0r> Flannel, i did used it but nothing changed,problem remains
[17:45] <arvind_khadri> John0321, leave it , i found the factoid :) thanks
[17:46] <arvind_khadri> Ipswitch, you should be able to access the net... See whether the boxes are ticked in System->Admin->Software Sources
[17:46] <IamSOG> anyone have tried nUbuntu ?
[17:47] <stoner> bobbo, does it have to b set to a real hostname?
[17:47] <nox-Hand_> Any way I can make Ubuntu hard-locked to connect to a specific WiFi net (with passkey, hex) at bootup, WITHOUT launching Gnome, etc. So its connected at command line
[17:47] <bobbo> stoner: what do you mean by real hostname?
[17:48] <Ipswitch> arvind_khadri : i checked and they are.this is what it gives me - http://paste.ubuntu.com/50926/
[17:48] <stoner> bobbo, i mean i can make up a host like my.homeserver.com or do i have to own the domain i use with my ubuntu or not?
[17:49] <blueapples> hostname just sets the local hostname, as used on your lan
[17:49] <bobbo> stoner: no you dont have to own the domain name, this is just used internally on your LAN
[17:49] <michal_> #gliwice
[17:49] <arvind_khadri> Ipswitch, seems like your administrator has restricted your access... you are unable to reach the repo or the mirrors are down
[17:50] <blueapples> to have a domain point at your box you need to purchase the domain and have the dns records point to your static ip address
[17:50] <Ipswitch> arvind_khadri : thanks anyway bro.
[17:50] <mitchell_ubuntu> hi all
[17:50] <mitchell_ubuntu> can someone help me with something
[17:51] <stoner> blueapples, that makes more sense.. but if i dont have a static ip and i use dydns, can my domain dns record point to the dydns host im using?
[17:51] <arvind_khadri> Ipswitch, try after a few hours :)
[17:51] <arvind_khadri> !ask | mitchell_ubuntu
[17:51] <michal_> join #gliwice
[17:51] <gharz> arvind_khadri: just one question, how do i permanently modify my PATH? i want to add my java path but everytime i start my linux i still need to export PATH... i want it to be included in my PATH everytime i start my machine
[17:51] <blueapples> stoner, ah no in that case you just usually need to run a dydns client
[17:51] <blueapples> stoner, it will automatically update the dydns records with your current IP address
[17:51] <arvind_khadri> gharz, add the export line to .bashrc
[17:52] <bobbo> gharz: add the export command to the bottom of ~/.bashrc
[17:52] <valour1> hello
[17:52] <valour1> i need urgently help
[17:52] <blueapples> stoner, a static ip address is usually $5/ month. i suggest just getting one. it makes it much easier ;)
[17:52] <arvind_khadri> !ask | valour1
[17:52] <MrBob> hi how do i convert avi to mpeg-4? thanks!
[17:52] <gharz> arvind_khadri & bobbo: thanks, i'll do that.
[17:52] <arvind_khadri> gharz, welcome :)
[17:53] <valour1> i enabled reflections in advanced window settings, now the plugin didnt work and i only see random colors - help
[17:53] <bobbo> gharz: no problem :)
[17:53] <stoner> blueapples, i already have dydns running from the router itself
[17:53] <blueapples> valourl: i'd first try to restart x, but uh, you might not get back to it so maybe not
[17:53] <arvind_khadri> valour1, did you put some bg image with that?
[17:53] <valour1> arvind_khadri - no nothing, i lost my wallpaper too
[17:54] <blueapples> stoner, then i think you should just need to set the router to forward to your internal ip address the ports you want to expose. you don't need to change your local host name, as far as i know. i haven't used dyndns from a router though
[17:54] <valour1> arvind_khadri one window is like on box with one color in it - no buttons no nothing
[17:54] <arvind_khadri> valour1, disable the plugin then
[17:54] <MrBob> hi how do i convert avi to mpeg-4? thanks!
[17:54] <valour1> arvind_khadri: i would like to, but how? i dont see the desktop properlyy
[17:54] <drewbert1> I accicentally the cord that connected my monitors and after I reconnected it, now when my computer boots up it takes me to some terminal thingy instead of to GNOME.  What can I do to remedy this?
[17:55] <blueapples> arvind_khadri, i think he can't see the controls to do that. is there a way to disable Compiz from CLI?
[17:55] <MrBob> drewbert1: try ctrl alt bckspace
[17:55] <arvind_khadri> valour1, ask #compiz-fusion
[17:55] <arvind_khadri> blueapples, hang on
[17:55] <mitchell_ubuntu> FFS can someone help me
[17:55] <blueapples> MrBob i said that already! kind of.... restart lol
[17:55] <stoner> blueapples, so i dont have to change my ubuntu host to the one im using with my dydns account?
[17:55] <arvind_khadri> !anyone | mitchell_ubuntu
[17:55] <valour1> arvind_khadri, will try thanks
[17:55] <jester7> heya guys.  quick question.  is there a way to send the user of a laptop a message while you are ssh'd into their computer?
[17:55] <MrBob> drewbert1: or try ctrl alt 1
[17:56] <blueapples> stoner you should not have to. i'd remember something like that from net+ i hope. the router is the public host, basically, and forwards certain requests to your internal hidden host
[17:56] <MrBob> drewbert1: if none of that works you will need to reconfigure x
[17:56] <gharz> thanks!!! finally it worked
[17:56] <blueapples> MrBo isn't the default console on like 5 or 6?
[17:56] <bobbo> MrBob: http://ajithc.wordpress.com/2006/09/25/mencoderffmpegtranscode-other-media-relared-scripts/ will tell you
[17:56] <drewbert1> MrBob: thanks that's great
[17:56] <blueapples> MrBob I mean the default x console...
[17:57] <MrBob> blueapples: mhhh not on my box
[17:57] <arvind_khadri> blueapples, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=186697
[17:57] <mitchell_ubuntu> I am trying to resolve the problem with internet apps that assume i am offline, can anyone help me on this
[17:57] <unop> blueapples, 7
[17:57] <blueapples> MrBob see that's frickin weird, I could have sworn it was always 1 for me in the past, but i accidentally switched it yesterday, and had to go through... it was like 5 or 6 or 7, weird. maybe because this is a MacBook?
[17:57] <blueapples> unop yeah that sounds right...
[17:58] <unop> blueapples, it is the default - though you can change it
[17:58] <blueapples> arvind_khadri thanks good reference
[17:58] <MrBob> blueapples: maybe...
[17:58] <arvind_khadri> blueapples, np :)
[17:58] <slashzul> how can I download mysql-server to build it locally on ubuntu?
[17:58] <blueapples> arvind_khadri should print that one out lol
[17:58] <stoner> blueapples, hmm so if i want to create a mailserver, i should set the MX record to the dydns hostname?
[17:58] <MagicDuck> hi, does anybody know why the gnome panels load twice when gnome boots up? What I mean is the load fine, disappear and then load again.
[17:58] <bobbo> slashzul: download the source code to build it locally?
[17:59] <unop> slashzul, what's wrong with the pre-built binaries in the repos?
[17:59] <arvind_khadri> blueapples,  :) lol
[17:59] <mitchell_ubuntu> anyone have an answer the my question?
[17:59] <slashzul> I ran apt-get install mysql-server
[17:59] <slashzul> then wont start
[17:59] <bobbo> mitchell_ubuntu: what is your question?
[17:59] <slashzul> no files get downloadd
[17:59] <mitchell_ubuntu> above
[17:59] <arvind_khadri> mitchell_ubuntu, can you elaborate
[17:59] <blueapples> stoner, uh.... i'm not much of a mail admin at all. just did networking. but i think so. i'd try the ubuntu server channel for more about that
[18:00] <bobbo> slashzul: try running sudo apt-get update and installing it again
[18:00] <mitchell_ubuntu> for example firefox and pidgin both assume i am offline as i use an external problem.
[18:00] <arvind_khadri> valour1, you can use this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=186697
[18:00] <unop> slashzul, what does this command give you?   dpkg -l | grep -i mysql
[18:00] <arvind_khadri> mitchell_ubuntu, are you able to ping yahoo.com
[18:01] <IntuitiveNipple> stoner: If you're creating a 'home' mail-server, you may also want to check with your ISP that they don't block incoming port 25 TCP to prevent their network hosting open relays
[18:01] <blueapples> mine block it OUTGOING even so... good luck heh
[18:01] <mitchell_ubuntu> i can use the programs but to keep unchecking "work offline" is the most annoying thing ever
[18:02] <slashzul> unop, I get mysql-server,mysql-server-5.0 , mysql-client,mysql-client-5.0
[18:02] <arvind_khadri> mitchell_ubuntu, weird
[18:02] <mitchell_ubuntu> on the forums the solution was to deny access to network manager but i somethings use a wireless network too
[18:02] <unop> slashzul, that means mysql-server is installed -- to restart the service,  sudo /etc/init.d/mysql restart
[18:02] <blueapples> one more try: anyone got ath9k working on a macbook? the instructions in the threads are not working for me. it installs, finds networks, but then i cannot get an ip address and iwconfig shows encryption is turned off...
[18:02] <unop> slashzul, then you should be able to use mysql - however that is
[18:03] <arvind_khadri> !ath | blueapples
[18:03] <crshman> Hi all, do I need any special usergroups to start an x session for a normal user?
[18:03] <blueapples> !ath9k
[18:03] <blueapples> hrm
[18:03] <mitchell_ubuntu> you see i use my cell as a modem therefore it is not recognised by network manager and by default internet apps rely on network manager to determine if you are online or not
[18:03] <arvind_khadri> !wifi | blueapples
[18:03] <blueapples> yeah none of that stuff works
[18:03] <blueapples> i've been over it all 100 times
[18:04] <komputes> Hmmmm, interesting /etc/logrotate.conf says "rotate 4" but i'm only able to view 4 days worth of logs, not 4 weeks
[18:04] <arvind_khadri> blueapples, ok what does iwconfig -a say?
[18:04] <blueapples> arvind_khadri, -a        No such device
[18:04] <slashzul> i dont have a /etc/init.d/mysql only a mysql-ndb
[18:04] <damjan> komputes: that depends on the weekly, daily, etc.. setting
[18:05] <slashzul> unop, /etc/init.d/mysql-ndb and nothing happens
[18:05] <arvind_khadri> blueapples, ifconfig -a
[18:05] <mitchell_ubuntu> if i remove network manager will it do damage
[18:05] <blueapples> arvind_khadri, i have full output from lsmod, ifconfig, iwconfig, and /etc/network/interfaces here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=930310
[18:05] <arvind_khadri> blueapples, looking :)
[18:05] <unop> slashzul, sudo /etc/init.d/mysql-ndb restart
[18:05] <mltdwn> aris
[18:05] <blueapples> arvind_khadri, thanks :)
[18:06] <mitchell_ubuntu> i am talking on here now and pidgin says "Availabe - waiting for network connection"
[18:06] <GarethAdams_> I'm having trouble setting up my Geforce 6200LE. I can only seem to get it booting in low graphics mode
[18:06] <komputes> damjan: it set to "weekly" but i can only see until Tues sept 23...
[18:06] <arvind_khadri> blueapples, is it DHCP?
[18:06] <blueapples> yeah
[18:06] <komputes> damjan: does weekly start on sunday or monday?
[18:07] <arvind_khadri> blueapples, sudo dh3client
[18:07] <blueapples> arvind_khadri, i have a Airport Extreme set to do DHCP and NAT
[18:07] <slashzul> unop, /etc/init.d/mysql-ndb restart and nothing happens
[18:07] <damjan> komputes: don't know.. but also it might be that you have some other constraint, like log file size
[18:07] <blueapples> arvind_khadri, cmd not found
[18:07] <slashzul> unop, /etc/init.d/mysql-ndb <- why dont I get mysql only mysql-ndb
[18:07] <arvind_khadri> GarethAdams_, use envy to get the drivers
[18:07] <arvind_khadri> !envy > GarethAdams_
[18:07] <unop> slashzul, it probably means everything's fine - connect to mysql to see if it's operational.
[18:07] <komputes> damjan: in that's in logrotate.conf, then i don't see it
[18:08] <komputes> if*
[18:08] <arvind_khadri> blueapples, sorry its dhclient3
[18:08] <slashzul> cant connect
[18:08] <slashzul> cant connect thru socket /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock
[18:08] <unop> slashzul, how are you connecting?
[18:08] <blueapples> hmmm
[18:08] <blueapples> arvind_khadri, it looks like it did something useful...
[18:08] <slashzul> cli mysql -u root -p
[18:09] <arvind_khadri> blueapples, now try pinging :)
[18:09] <slashzul> when ti starts it doesnt connect to /var/run/mysql/mysqld.sock
[18:09] <blueapples> well i'm on wire so i will have to ... uh
[18:09] <slashzul> cause it doesnt exist
[18:09] <slashzul> it never starts
[18:09] <blueapples> can i tell ping what interface to use lol
[18:09] <mitchell_ubuntu> i solved it. i just enabled a dummie connection
[18:09] <unop> slashzul, try this.  sudo aptitude reinstall  mysql-server-5.0
[18:09] <unop> blueapples, sure -- see -I
[18:09] <MagicDuck> slashzul: try sudo apt-get purge mysql-server and then sudo apt-get install mysql-server
[18:09] <arvind_khadri> unop, i didnt know abt that !!
[18:10] <GarethAdams_> arvind_khadri: envyng is the most recent  thing I've tried
[18:10] <arvind_khadri> GarethAdams_, so what happens?
[18:10] <mitchell_ubuntu> anyways thanks all for your HELP. I will most definitely come back
[18:10] <arvind_khadri> GarethAdams_, try to use the manual mode in that... it helps
[18:10] <blueapples> reply from ping - http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=5860375&postcount=3
[18:10] <unop> arvind_khadri, hmm - you aren't expected to be a limitless encyclopedia of knowledge, no one is :)
[18:10] <slashzul> MagicDuck, done that
[18:10] <blueapples> host unreachable
[18:10] <komputes> damjan: it's ok, found it in the manual
[18:11] <maverick340> can anyone help me set up a file sharing with winxp
[18:11] <MagicDuck> can you see it now in /etc/init.d
[18:11] <maverick340> i am running ubuntu 8.04
[18:11] <blueapples> hang on let me... try something. i will be back in a sec. i think dhclient3 just renewed my ethernet connection
[18:11] <slashzul> mysql is just not starting
[18:11] <unop> !samba > maverick340
[18:11] <arvind_khadri> blueapples, dont use the forum to post use the paste.ubuntu.com and see paste the o/p of route
[18:11] <slashzul>  Can't start server: Bind on TCP/IP port: Cannot assign requested address
[18:12] <GarethAdams_> arvind_khadri: envyng -t; 1 (Install the NVIDIA driver) => correctly identifies my GeForce 6200 LE => restart => low graphics mode
[18:12] <unop> slashzul, are you using the command properly? with sudo?
[18:12] <MagicDuck> are you starting with administrative prvileges
[18:12] <slashzul> yep
[18:12] <MagicDuck> yea
[18:12] <arvind_khadri> GarethAdams_, try setting the resolution now
[18:12] <MagicDuck> try su to root and doing it
[18:12] <ktwo> hi, if i want best performance should i install the ATI propietary driver from ati.com or the X.org binary from synaptics?
[18:12] <GarethAdams_> arvind_khadri: it tells me it's back using the vesa driver
[18:13] <slashzul> how can I paste the error Im getting?
[18:13] <unop> !su
[18:13] <slashzul> its too much to post
[18:13] <unop> MagicDuck, su does not work by default.
[18:13] <arvind_khadri> GarethAdams_, were you able to use the res before?
[18:13] <MagicDuck> post it on pastebin
[18:13] <unop> slashzul, how much are we talking?
[18:13] <slashzul> 5-6 lines
[18:13] <nnull> when i su, how long does that session stay open after i close the terminal window? 30 seconds?
[18:13] <unop> !paste | slashzul
[18:13] <arvind_khadri> nnull, 15 mins
[18:13] <GarethAdams_> arvind_khadri: sorry, I mean the low graphics mode dialog tells me that. I can set resolution up to 800x600
[18:14] <blueapples_> arvind_khadri, this is the output from dhclient3 when i was off the eth http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5860371#post5860371
[18:14] <nnull> arvind_khadriƺ oh.
[18:14] <unop> nnull, su  or  sudo?
[18:14] <nnull> unopƺ su.
[18:14] <unop> nnull, your session closes right after you close the terminal then.
[18:14] <arvind_khadri> !paste | blueapples
[18:14] <slashzul> http://paste.ubuntu.com/50935/
[18:15] <nnull> unopƺ ah ok, that makes more sense heh
[18:15] <slashzul> mysql starts, then says it cant bind, then dies
[18:15] <slashzul> ps auxw |grep mysql shows nada
[18:15] <slashzul> no process running
[18:15] <arvind_khadri> blueapples_, what does route say when you are on the wireless
[18:15] <unop> slashzul,  what does this command give you?  netstat -antp | grep 3306
[18:15] <arvind_khadri> blueapples_, you can check it even now
[18:16] <skylar_> I am tryingg to get the wireless working on my laptop\.  Should I turn on the proprietary driver "software modem"?
[18:16] <maverick340> i tried that, it still wont show me any PCs :(
[18:16] <blueapples_> Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use Iface

[18:18] <hmmz> unop i'm asking some different question
[18:19] <hmmz> i don't ask about sudo
[18:19] <hmmz> i'm asking about recovery mode
[18:19] <arvind_khadri> blueapples_, after that you get back the terminal?
[18:19] <blueapples_> arvind_khadri, yeah, no ath0 or wifi0 entries
[18:19] <unop> hmmz, sudo is your door to the superuser - you don't have to set the root password, etc
[18:19] <lestat_> is anyone there?
[18:19] <unop> hmmz, in recovery mode, you are automatically placed in a superuser shell

[18:21] <blueapples_> arvind_khadri, thanks!
[18:21] <hmmz> and it want me root password to pass root shell
[18:21] <unop> hmmz, that's definitely not normal
[18:21] <arvind_khadri> blueapples_, mail me your email
[18:22] <unop> hmmz, there is no root password by default on an ubuntu install (unless you've changed that) - so i don't see how you're prompted for one

[18:30] <biouser> is it bad if ifconfig returns wifi0 when you were expecting only eth0 ath0 and lo?
[18:30] <slashzul> how can I just download the package and dpkg -i mysql.pkg ?
[18:30] <biouser> http://paste.ubuntu.com/50939/
[18:31] <biouser> slashzul, are you having a problem with apt?
[18:31] <slashzul> must be apt that is not working.
[18:31] <Deiselton> anyone know what programs in ubuntu handle wallpapers?... i thought it was nuatalis.. but i set that to not show the desktop and it still does... end result is im trying to set the -root as a screensaver

[18:33] <jim_p> !apt
[18:33] <biouser> I'm going to reboot and see how the wireless responds if I don't have the hardwire plugged in I guess...
[18:33] <holyshit> neoxaos try with english lang
[18:33] <kitche> biouser: device names can be anything so wifi0 is your wireless

[18:35] <jason__> jim_p: does the universe repo have 21.5?
[18:36] <GarethAdams_> arvind_khadri: all 3 drivers end me up in low graphics land :(
[18:36] <Massiv0r> guys
[18:36] <jim_p> jason__: 21.4.21 :(
[18:36] <Deiselton> ﻿arvind_khadri hmmm dont have either of those programs
[18:36] <Massiv0r> if i backup my /home i do a reinstall and then pase /home,things will be working fine?
[18:36] <Massiv0r> paste*
[18:36] <Spragie> My mouse freezes up randomly, last night, instead of the mouse locking up, the whole system was locking up, i believe the fix for my mouse in gutsy was to disable legacy usb support, i reset my bios to defaults last night, this morning instead of locking up, the mouse would stop responding? anyone have any suggestions as to find out what is going on?
[18:37] <jim_p> jason__: do you need 21.5 only?
[18:37] <Massiv0r> if i backup my /home and paste it at a clear install of ubuntu,all things will be the way they were?
[18:37] <jason__> jim_p: i do need any 21.5 xemacs... they have reached that point over 5 years ago
[18:38] <jason__> jim_p: so it's not like i'm asking for something crazy
[18:38] <spanther> why is "VLC 0.8.6e" still included inside the repos? there is a new version out now :-)
[18:38] <Massiv0r> if i backup my /home and paste it at a clear install of ubuntu,all things will be the way they were?
[18:38] <jim_p> jason__: i see. you can always compile it yourself
[18:38] <slashzul> unop, found the problem UBUNTU cant mix or match apt-get,dpkg,synaptic,etc
[18:38] <maniheer> spanther, ubuntu repo's are never up to date
[18:38] <jason__> jim_p: right, surprise surprise, i'm getting errors
[18:39] <spanther> maniheer: so is there a way for me that i can get the newest VLC? :)
[18:39] <Massiv0r> if i backup my /home and paste it at a clear install of ubuntu,all things will be the way they were?
[18:39] <Massiv0r> if i backup my /home and paste it at a clear install of ubuntu,all things will be the way they were?

[18:39] <kitche> slashzul: well you do know all of them are actually the same tool backend wise
[18:39] <slashzul> kitche, should be
[18:40] <slashzul> kitche, but arent. mysql is having major problems
[18:40] <kitche> slashzul: actually looks to me like your system is downloading the wrong package since here I can do apt-get install mysql and it will install the init

[18:43] <biouser> okay, my wireless works now mysteriously...
[18:43] <IntuitiveNipple> spanther: no, not thinkpad
[18:43] <biouser> I guess I won't look a gift horse in the mouth

[18:45] <GarethAdams_> arvind_khadri: you'll have to remind me how to check for those
[18:45] <IntuitiveNipple> spanther: I've been testing the vlc package in my repo for over a month now; it has generally been fine aside from the lack of polish in the new version - lots of dialogs where you have to enter values manually, or it doesn't remember settings
[18:45] <maniheer> spanther, did u try my link
[18:45] <maniheer> ?
[18:45] <IntuitiveNipple> spanther: That's an Ubuntu PPA
[18:46] <spanther> IntuitiveNipple:  thats anything other than fine for me :P

[18:46] <spanther> to much bugs ^^
[18:46] <arvind_khadri> GarethAdams_, System->Admin->Hardware drivers (assuming you are on 8.04)
[18:46] <spanther> kitche:  you mean wxWidgets :)
[18:46] <IntuitiveNipple> kitche: no, since upstream removed support in the latest version
[18:46] <jmichelse1> SMS from script, anyone?

[18:46] <GarethAdams_> arvind_khadri: No proprietary drivers are in use on this system

[18:47] <spanther> kitche:  lol xD
[18:47] <SaS`> If my mouse suddenly quits, is there a log file i could look at to try to determine what the problem is?
[18:47] <IamSOG> I forgot which one is the "lower hardware requirement" unbuntu? it's not Xubuntu, is it ?
[18:47] <arvind_khadri> maniheer, spanther dont install from interpid
[18:48] <jmichelse1> Im trying to find a way to send SMS messages from a script. I have found a few tools but they are old and not updated anymore. Does anyone know of a way to do that?
[18:48] <biouser> IamSOG, yes it is
[18:48] <JuJuBee> My server has been acting up.  THe loads are ... 13:46:49 up  5:01,  4 users,  load average: 0.99, 0.65, 0.28 and my stuents cannot do anything now.  How can I figure out whey load is so high?  Top doesn't show anything using much cpu or mem at all.
[18:48] <IamSOG> oh, thanks biouser
[18:48] <maniheer> y not arvind_khadri
[18:48] <maniheer> i install from the debian repo's somethimes
[18:48] <arvind_khadri> maniheer, as it will break the system... if you are in 8.04
[18:48] <biouser> IamSOG, if you want an adventure, you could install ubuntu-server and whatever lightweight stuff you want on top of that
[18:48] <arvind_khadri> maniheer, it makes the system unstable...
[18:48] <Letterbomb05> Hi can anyone help me setup ndiswrapper-1.53 on ubuntu? The manuals on the ubuntu site are all for 1.43, and don't work.
[18:49] <x2o> gibts nen befehl der immer die letzte zeile von dmesg ausgibt?
[18:49] <LjL> jmichelse1, uhm, unless you have a GSM card, the main problem is that virtually all free SMS services on the web have disappeared... the scripts used those
[18:49] <LjL> !de | x2o
[18:49] <LyX-Student> How about the Netbook Ubuntu, is it final?
[18:49] <maniheer> arvind-khadri, its not the kernel, its just a video player
[18:49] <biouser> Letterbomb05, I could try.. wireless can be a real pain, I am just now getting mine half-way sorted out...
[18:49] <LyX-Student> midbuntu or something..
[18:49] <Letterbomb05> yeah biouser, that's something I've found out the hard way.
[18:50] <biouser> LyX-Student, that sounds interesting, do you have a link?
[18:50] <SaS`> does anyone know where i could start looking to find the cause of my mouse failing, replugging doesn't help (light doesnt even come on when i replug)
[18:50] <jmichelse1> LjL so there is no way huh, that really sucks lol, why have they all disapeared?
[18:50] <witek23> hello, I have problem with "findsmb". If I type this command I can see a few hosts, but when I use "ping" there is about 100 active hosts. Anybudy know how to fix it?
[18:50] <Letterbomb05> There are actually instructions on how to get this card working with ndiswrapper on ubuntu, but the Instructions don't work. I've tried them repeatedly.
[18:50] <biouser> Letterbomb05, I actually don't know anything about ndiswrapper...
[18:50] <LjL> jmichelse1: well, in europe i believe the phone companies simply started charging for their SMS gateways, which were previously free... if you're in the US or elsewhere, though, the situation might be different
[18:51] <Next1> I have a dual boot with xp and ubuntu.  If I try to reinstall xp will I lose my ability to boot into ubuntu?
[18:51] <LjL> jmichelse1: last time i checked, there still were few limited services that let you send N messages a week, or N in total... maybe those could be enough for you
[18:51] <jmichelse1> LjL I know of a few that are still  free for the US but is there a way to use just the web thing from a script somehow?
[18:51] <IamSOG> thanks biouser I might try that, but then this is a slow PC I am about to install, and I keep thinking Kubuntu's KDE has lower requirement than Xubuntu, but I guess I am wrong
[18:52] <biouser> IamSOG, there are lighterwieght ones than Xfce but not KDE
[18:52] <jmichelse1> LjL yea a few a week would work, have a link or anything? and I would have to be able to do it from a script. thanks for the info
[18:52] <biouser> fluxbox...
[18:52] <LjL> jmichelse1: maybe, maybe not. theoretically, if you can do it from the web, then you can also write a script to do it. *but* things these days tend to use captchas, and it's not trivial to get around those
[18:52] <arvind_khadri> Next1, you will have to reinstall grub
[18:52] <GarethAdams_> arvind_khadri: I just restarted my machine again, and hit the grub loader button. Apparently it was booting by default using the -server entry, Using the -generic entry it started up and seems to be working now :)
[18:52] <biouser> anyone help me out here?  what are the most lightweight window managers?
[18:52] <hmmz> how can i check my ubuntu is gutsy or hardy?
[18:52] <arvind_khadri> !grub > Next1
[18:52] <LjL> !version | hmmz
[18:53] <jmichelse1> LjL yea I have run into that, there has got to be a way though
[18:53] <arvind_khadri> GarethAdams_, cool :)
[18:53] <biouser> if you want something really bloated you could always try ubuntu-studio :P
[18:53] <biouser> Letterbomb05, have you tried ndisgtk?
[18:53] <x3on> hey, how can  i roll back kde4 to kd3?
[18:53] <biouser> could make things easier...
[18:53] <LjL> jmichelse1: the way is finding a service that has no captchas. any captcha is *really* hard to get around, and i say that merely because i don't like the word "impossible"
[18:53] <arvind_khadri> biouser, window managers or desktop environments?
[18:53] <shearn89> anyone here use awesomeWM?
[18:53] <Letterbomb05> biouser, I installed it
[18:53] <savage1> howdie folks
[18:53] <Letterbomb05> but now when I run it, it just straight away closes again
[18:54] <LjL> jmichelse1: i don't have a link at hand, i have the name of the script i used to use, which - in its time - had a lot of plug-ins for several services
[18:54] <savage1> anyone know what's going on w/ xandros/linspire
[18:54] <savage1> in terms of their plans
[18:54] <kitche> savage1: wrong room to ask really
[18:54] <jmichelse1> LjL yea, hmm I have been searching about a month now with nothing
[18:54] <arvind_khadri> !ot | savage1
[18:54] <biouser> arvind_khadri, good question, what are gnome, kde, xfce?  fluxbox?
[18:54] <savage1> kitche: I don't agree, they're ubuntu based I figured it'd be a topic
[18:54] <Letterbomb05> biouser, whats the sudo apt-get install for that?
[18:54] <witek23> ﻿Next1, yes you do, but you can rescure GRUB, burn that thing on CD and start it when system starts:  http://rescuecd.sourceforge.net/download.html
[18:54] <jmichelse1> LjL I used sms-client and some others, but they don't seem to work anymore, tried to use I should say
[18:54] <kitche> savage1: umm neither are ubuntu based
[18:54] <arvind_khadri> biouser, desktop environments
[18:54] <savage1> linspire is
[18:54] <shearn89> biouser, they're all window managers.
[18:54] <savage1> debian/ubuntu based
[18:54] <LjL> jmichelse1: i used smssend
[18:55] <shearn89> oh yeah. my bad
[18:55] <hub123> i can not listen mp3 on any player any idea ?
[18:55] <biouser> shearn89, arvind_khadri  hmmm, contradiction?
[18:55] <jmichelse1> LjL yea I tried that one too
[18:55] <savage1> according to their website and everyone
[18:55] <shearn89> metacity is the WM right?
[18:55] <kitche> savage1: go to -offtopic
[18:55] <savage1> either way
[18:55] <biouser> Letterbomb05, ndisgtk
[18:55] <savage1> didn't come in for an argument
[18:55] <shearn89> biouser, i'm wrong m8
[18:55] <savage1> peace all
[18:55] <jmichelse1> LjL when did you try that last? if you remember
[18:55] <arvind_khadri> shearn89, they are all desktop environments :)
[18:55] <biouser> !ndisgtk
[18:56] <shearn89> arvind_khadri, but whats the default WM for gnome? metacity?
[18:56] <shearn89> arvind_khadri, or is it compiz nowadays?
[18:56] <LjL> jmichelse1: a long time ago. but i'm checking its webpage now (it *is* packaged in Ubuntu, but not sure how old the packaged version is), and it *is* active -- last version is 20 september 2008, so there is hope perhaps
[18:56] <arvind_khadri> biouser, if you want to use a light desktop environment try xfce and enlightment
[18:56] <LjL> jmichelse1: no, wait, this page i'm looking at is not *that* smssend that i used to use :|
[18:56] <arvind_khadri> shearn89, its metacity .,,
[18:56] <IntuitiveNipple> kitche: between vlc git snapshots 20080601 and 20080816, support for wxgadgets was removed from the vlc configure script.
[18:56] <jmichelse1> LjL interesting, so there is another then
[18:57] <shearn89> arvind_khadri: thought so.
[18:57] <shearn89> anyone here use awesomeWM?
[18:57] <Lofde_> updating to 8.10 in progress now :)
[18:57] <jmichelse1> LjL what's the url? maybe I can figure something out from there
[18:57] <arvind_khadri> shearn89, ask #gnome to be sure :)
[18:57] <biouser> IamSOG,  if you want to use a light desktop environment try xfce and enlightment
[18:57] <biouser> there you have it
[18:57] <hmmz> blueapples_ i installed wicd
[18:57] <biouser> but yeah, xubuntu-desktop is nice and light
[18:57] <Letterbomb05> biouser, It tells me I have the driver installed
[18:57] <jmichelse1> LjL you would think if its included in the build its still working
[18:57] <Letterbomb05> but It doesn't work
[18:57] <maniheer> shearn89, if u like awesome, u might like http://wmfs.sangor.net/
[18:57]  * Lofde_ loves his desktop environment gnome + compiz ;) 
[18:57] <maniheer> its even lighter
[18:57] <maniheer> but better
[18:57] <biouser> Letterbomb05, you are using network-manager default?
[18:58] <maniheer> i think
[18:58] <Next1> witek23: That look interesting. What does it do?
[18:58] <arvind_khadri> !u  > maniheer
[18:58] <darkip> could anyone give me a hand with this please? (it's sorta ubuntu related): http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?id=46451
[18:58] <Letterbomb05> biouser, not sure?
[18:58] <arvind_khadri> !enter > maniheer
[18:58] <LjL> jmichelse1: well, it's "working" in the sense that you can definitely use it to create your own plug-in, if you find a suitable web service. also, many of the services it used to support out-of-the-box are still active, they're just not free anymore
[18:58] <shearn89> maniheer: thanks for the link. Thing is, just upgraded to awesome3 and it says it can't find a crucial module...
[18:58] <arvind_khadri> !ask | darkip
[18:58] <biouser> Letterbomb05, I was f-ing with mine for a long time last night and I am using the wireless now after reinstallin network-manager and rebooting without the ethernet plugged in....
[18:58] <maniheer> arvind_khadri, do u hate me?
[18:59] <maniheer> you*
[18:59] <witek23> ﻿Next1, this program is changing a master boot record which win xp overwrite
[18:59] <arvind_khadri> maniheer, not at all :) just follow the rules..
[18:59] <jmichelse1> LjL hmm ok, is that the skyteck one?
[18:59] <biouser> it still won't swtich automatically from wired to wireless...
[18:59] <Letterbomb05> biouser, how do I reinstall network-manager
[18:59] <arvind_khadri> !language | biouser
[18:59] <LjL> jmichelse1: it uses the "skyutils2" package, so i guess it is... i can't seem to find its homepage
[19:00] <biouser> Letterbomb05, I just used synaptic, I don't really think that's what helped necesarily...
[19:00] <jmichelse1> LjL ok lol, there is also a firefox addon for sms send, wonder if that still works, you would think if it does you could strip it down to code only
[19:00] <Letterbomb05> biouser, well It says the drivers are installed, so what would you recommend I do?
[19:00] <biouser> f-ing is on the banned words list.. arvind_khadri if you hadn't brought attention to it none of the kids would have known, but ok
[19:00] <maniheer> shearn89, cant help u there, i have no idea about awesome
[19:00] <padee> hi there. does anyone understand sound cards, gstreamer and campcaster?
[19:00] <shearn89> maniheer: kk. tx m8.
[19:01] <biouser> Letterbomb05, have you tried booting without the ethernet plugged in?  I know it sounds lame...
[19:01] <LjL> jmichelse1: well, look, if you have a site that works and has no captchas, i believe i can quickly write a script for it
[19:01] <arvind_khadri> padee, what about them?
[19:01] <Letterbomb05> biouser, I think I have, but i'll try again.
[19:01] <shearn89> exit
[19:01] <Letterbomb05> nothing to lose.
[19:01] <sergiu> is there any dVD player for linux that can play the DVd movies ?
[19:01] <jmichelse1> LjL I would love to learn to write it myself, I have some scripting experience but how would you get the web interaction?
[19:02] <arvind_khadri> !dvd | sergiu
[19:02] <jmichelse1> !dvd
[19:02] <LjL> jmichelse1: oh, wget.
[19:02] <LjL> jmichelse1: or i'd do it in php
[19:02] <witek23> ﻿Next1, If you burn it on CD change bios settings to first read CD, and it will be starts like OS, you will find option which rescure linux booting. I used this program and everything is fine.
[19:02] <LjL> jmichelse1: if it merely uses GET, then it's trivial, if it uses POST, i think it can be done with just wget anyway
[19:02] <padee> arvind_khadri, the problem is, that our radio transmitting program only play sounds to the internal sound card. we have an external one (m-audio delta 1010), but the scheduler program from campcaster does not send any signal to the external soundcard.
[19:03] <jmichelse1> LjL wget dls the page, hmmmmmm I am too new to think about it fully, I need to learn to use wget to a more substantial percentage
[19:03] <Next1> witek23: That's awesome, it'll save me a lot of work.  Thanks
[19:03] <Lofde_> Anyone know why sometimes in ubuntu if i open a program, it just instantly closes... ive noticed this several times with several different programs, firefox, Task Manager, and even audacious
[19:04] <arvind_khadri> padee, #alsa would be more helpful i feel , hoping you are using alsa
[19:04] <jmichelse1> LjL thanks a lot, I think I have more to go on for my little project
[19:04] <sergiu> so what, i have installed libdvdcss2 and still can't select titles
[19:04] <padee> arvind_khadri, yes, alsa is running
[19:04] <arvind_khadri> Lofde_, maybe due to a segfault
[19:04] <LjL> jmichelse1, interactive web sites usually work like this: the page containing the form simply sends the contents of the form in the URL, when you hit "Submit". so you merely need to reproduce the URL. as an example, when i type "test" into google, it goes to the URL http://www.google.com/search?q=test&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8
[19:04] <arvind_khadri> padee, then #alsa is the place to ask :)
[19:04] <pryorda> what dod i need to install for nvidia drivers
[19:04] <Lofde_> arvind_khadri:  im in the process of doing some updates ?
[19:04] <pryorda> ?
[19:04] <LjL> jmichelse1: the syntax there is pretty easy to parse, and all you need is to make wget download that URL
[19:04] <mcphail> Lofde_: try opening from a terminal and see if there are any error messages
[19:04] <Lofde_> arvind_khadri:  restarting always seems to make it go away
[19:05] <arvind_khadri> Lofde_, use the terminal
[19:05] <Lofde_> mcphail:  alright
[19:05] <Paulao> what Restricted Electives, Unrestricted Electives, and Elective Subjetcs means in college terms?
[19:05] <jmichelse1> LjL ah ok that's much easier to think about
[19:05] <LjL> jmichelse1: other sites (more commonly these days) use the POST method, which doesn't involve the URL and is a bit more involved
[19:05] <padee> arvind_khadri, and how do i do that?
[19:05] <jmichelse1> LjL and the catcha as the image thing righgt? to stop bots?
[19:05] <jvm> hi. skype works, but my sound recorder is unable to record anything?
[19:05] <LjL> jmichelse1: still, i recall wget has some option to send a POST header when downloading a URL
[19:05] <arvind_khadri> !envy | pryorda
[19:05] <jmichelse1> LjL very interesting
[19:06] <arvind_khadri> padee,  / join #alsa
[19:06] <Letterbomb05> biouser, It did nothing.
[19:06] <LjL> jmichelse1: yeah, if it has a captcha, you're really unlikely to get around it... unless it's a *very* simple captcha (in which case, you might have some luck with an OCR program)
[19:06] <arvind_khadri> jvm, see the levels in alsamixer
[19:06] <Lofde_> arvind_khadri:  ok, it DID load from the terminal, but wouldnt from double clicking using the GUI ?
[19:06] <padee> arvind_khadri, thanks a lot
[19:06] <jmichelse1> LjL understood
[19:07] <arvind_khadri> Lofde_, yea it will ... or else use the tty
[19:07] <jmichelse1> LjL what about this one, freebiesms.co.uk
[19:07] <xomp> guys, I'm thinking about installing awn on ubuntu hardy heron. Is there anything I should keep in mind before doing so?
[19:07] <jmichelse1> LjL would there be an extra charge because its out of the country? to those receiving
[19:07] <LjL> jmichelse1: i also see that Gizmo (at gismosms.com) lets you send SMS... it has a captcha, but perhaps it can also send them from the Gizmo software itself, and you could sniff the traffic and find out how it's done
[19:07]  * mentallysilent waves hello
[19:07] <arvind_khadri> xomp, no :)
[19:08] <jmichelse1> LjL I peeked at that one a bit too
[19:08] <Lofde_> arvind_khadri: so you think its segfaults that are causing it to not stay open when double clicked from the gui? its strange that it would work launching from terminal , but not when double clicked
[19:08] <LjL> jmichelse1: well, don't quote me on this, but i believe that *nowhere* in europe are you ever charged for SMS
[19:08] <LjL> jmichelse1: i mean, for receiving SMS
[19:08] <jmichelse1> LjL lucky
[19:08] <xomp> arvind_khadri, so the ubuntu package of awn will do fine? I thought I read somewhere that you have to get special ppa's of awn.
[19:08] <jmichelse1> LjL lol, cool
[19:08] <LjL> jmichelse1: this thing of "pay for receiving" is solely an US oddity afik
[19:08] <jvm> arvind_khadri, what do ive to do to record what's outputted by my speakers?
[19:09] <darkip> I'm having a problem with running uTorrent in wine, randomly, utorrent suddenly decides it's not going to accept any more connections on the port it's listening on, even though netstat -pl shows the program as still listening on the port. I've asked both the wine and utorrent people and it seems like it must be a ubuntu problem rather than a utorrent/wine one as no-one else seems to be suffering from this problem.
[19:09] <LyX-Student> biouser: http://www.canonical.com/projects/ubuntu/nbr
[19:09] <jmichelse1> LjL so that one I sent you, it has no captcha from what I could find, I think maybe that one will work
[19:09] <ct700> !help
[19:09] <LjL> jmichelse1: let me see
[19:09] <arvind_khadri> Lofde_, then you would have to ask #gnome ... something might be going wrong in the dbus
[19:09] <jmichelse1> LjL capitalism at its best
[19:09] <LyX-Student> biouser they call it NBR netbook remix
[19:09] <LyX-Student> lol
[19:09] <arvind_khadri> xomp, ya you have to... you want the howto/
[19:09] <xomp> arvind_khadri, yes please :D
[19:09] <xomp> !awn
[19:09] <arvind_khadri> jvm, no idea ...
[19:10] <tyler_> can someone walk me through installed windows xp via vmware server
[19:10] <jvm> arvind_khadri, thanks a lot.
[19:10] <danbh_intrepid> !vmware > tyler_
[19:11] <arvind_khadri> xomp, http://wiki.awn-project.org/Installation:Ubuntu gere
[19:11] <biouser> nice LyX-Student LaTeX much?
[19:11] <tyberion> hello folks.. is there any way to "reload" my audio driver or sth if it stops to working, eg. audaciouss not playbacking anymore :(
[19:11] <tyberion> biouser: what about Latex here...?! any good guides or sth :]?
[19:12] <witek23> anybudy know how to display local host with findsmb command? I was trying but it shows a few hosts, not all active.
[19:12] <LjL> jmichelse1: well, i have a little problem testing it, because it insists in requiring a "valid" phone number to do anything
[19:12] <mentallysilent> tyberion, modprobe -r <drivername>
[19:12] <biouser> Letterbomb05, yeah, that was a long shot... one time switching to knetworkmanager helped me but that is not very sound advice either.... sry that you are struggling with wireless I was smacking myself in the head last night over it
[19:12] <LjL> jmichelse1: i honestly haven't a clue what a valid mobile number looks like in the UK
[19:12] <sergiu> the titles in dvd don't works, the subtiers aren't show.. - linux sucks
[19:12] <NfNitLoop> I'm trying to run "apt-get upgrade" and it wants to install new versions of bzr and bzr-svn, but says they're unverified?
[19:12] <biouser> tyberion, lshort? #latex.....
[19:13] <jmichelse1> LjL oh, well I read some more on their site, it has some development stuff you can use, but it does have some charges for use, me either on the UK #
[19:13] <biouser> $sudo apt-get install texlive-full !!!!!!!
[19:14] <LjL> jmichelse1: i can say that it uses POST
[19:14] <LyX-Student> biouser: I use LyX for LaTeX and TeX etc. of course tex-live but not full waste of space if you don't know all languages on the world :D
[19:14] <jmichelse1> LjL ok cool, so there may be a chance wget can do it but not as easily as others
[19:14] <LjL> jmichelse1: which country do you need to send to anyway? UK i suppose?
[19:15] <tyler__> can someone help me install windows xp in vmware-server
[19:15] <jmichelse1> LjL no just US to US
[19:15] <LjL> jmichelse1: oh, i had understood you were sending to another country
[19:15] <jmichelse1> LjL I forget how far and wide ubuntu stretches, im usa local
[19:15] <danbh_intrepid> tyler__: did you look at the ubottu link?
[19:15] <biouser> LyX-Student, what proportion do you think is non-english languages?
[19:15] <jmichelse1> LjL nope, just want to send sms to myself from my server via script
[19:15] <jmichelse1> LjL server info and stock quotes to my phone lol
[19:16] <tyler__> sorry can u post that link again
[19:16] <LyX-Student> biouser: the reason why I'm here is that I need LyX for a semester project and LyX depends on boost, which is not the current version on any ubuntu. That's why IntuitiveNipple is helping me out, he'll save many headaches for all who need boost 1.36.0
[19:16] <uplink> hello and good evening, i need a program for linux that i can use to connect to all my servers at once, via ssh, and run an update command for my sites
[19:16] <danbh_intrepid> !vmware > tyler__
[19:16] <LjL> jmichelse1: i haven't a clue what a US number looks, either
[19:16] <LyX-Student> biouser: texlive-full contains docs for many other languages besides those I can read
[19:16] <LjL> jmichelse1: also, anyway, www.freebiesms.us seems to be the one that's capable of sending to the US
[19:17] <jmichelse1> LjL lol I am not sure what the country code is but otherwise its xxx-xxx-xxxx
[19:17] <biouser> LyX-Student, I wonder how much space is non-english docs...?  it would be nice if there was a texlive-full-yourlanguagehere package
[19:18] <biouser> jmichelse1, is US +1 ?
[19:18] <LyX-Student> biouser: But if I feel lazy on my next install, (OCT 30 Intrepid) I'll install it. space is no more luxus these days. anyways apt or synaptic should be aware of your language and automatically blend other languages out. Like you mentioned.
[19:19] <LjL> jmichelse1: hah, that worked (the US country code is 1)
[19:19] <jmichelse1> LjL so smug of US to take #1 lol
[19:19] <jmichelse1> LjL and it sent to a fake # ? worked via script? or you were just testing the websites form?
[19:19] <LyX-Student> LjL haha oh why? :D ;)
[19:19] <LyX-Student> obvious
[19:20] <Neeku> hi
[19:20] <LjL> jmichelse1: i was just testing the website. but, err, it redirects me to a paypal site for billing...
[19:20] <progmn> Is there a way to see the release notes (fix list) for packages using the apt-tools? I'd like to view what has been fixed when doing apt-get -s upgrade before committing to it..
[19:20] <Neeku> how can i format ntfs drives via ubuntu?
[19:20] <jmichelse1> LjL that's what I was afraid of lol
[19:20] <LyX-Student> Neeku testdisk
[19:20] <roukoun> hi everyone!
[19:21] <LjL> progmn: install "apt-listchanges"
[19:21] <LyX-Student> or fdisk Neeku
[19:21] <danbh_intrepid> roukoun: hi Dr. Nick!
[19:21] <progmn> great, thanks LjL!
[19:21] <Neeku> LyX-Student: could please tell me more? and from the graphical mode if possible
[19:21] <Neeku> LyX-Student: my friend needs this and she's quite a newbie!
[19:21] <tyberion> how can I find out which of the drivers for modprobe is my sound driver?
[19:22] <Xubuntu> hey um when i stick my usb stick in, ubuntu shows that its there, but when i open it to see its contents, its showing nothing on it. There's files on it, but when I try to put stuff on the stick, it says its read only. what do i do?
[19:22] <LyX-Student> neeku you could use synaptic and search for "partition"
[19:22] <nshater> Anyone want to help me with my wireless, ive got an atheros card I finally worked things out so it recognizes i have wireless but when i connect to wireless the internet does not work
[19:22] <arvind_khadri> Neeku, use gparted live cd

[19:28] <DeadBattery> Hi, whenever I login, I get this error: User's $HOME/.dmrc file is being ignored. This prevents the default sessin and language from being saved. File should be owne dby user and have 644 permissions. User's $HOME directory must be owned by user and not writable by other users.
[19:28] <DeadBattery> I hope this is the right channel.  :S
[19:28] <arvind_khadri> nshater, is it a DHCP?

[19:30] <DeadBattery> I chmodded it to 644 already

[19:42] <arvind_khadri> darkip, use deluge
[19:43] <DasEi1> darkip: use ktorrent or opera on ubuntu
[19:43] <darkip> deluge reports dodgy stats at the moment
[19:43] <darkip> I'm really after a reason as to why it's not working...
[19:43] <arvind_khadri> darkip, how about transmission
[19:43] <Prose> arvind_khadri: yeah I did :s theyre kinda dead..
[19:43] <darkip> I'm kinda in love with utorrent and have a lot of torrents loaded into it...

[19:47] <DeadBattery> Can anyone please help me out?   I have a wireless card.  How do I make it so it recognizes it at startup because I have to pull it out before I turn it on, then once logged in, I have to push it in.
[19:47] <DeadBattery> I asked about this on the forums ages ago but no response.  :o
[19:48] <Fargh> does ubuntu still use the file /etc/inittab ??
[19:48] <DeadBattery> I thought it was /etc/init.d/  ...
[19:49] <Fargh> i rather think etc/event.d
[19:49] <Fargh> but what do i need to edit there
[19:49] <Fargh> rd-default ?
[19:49] <DeadBattery> no idea.  xD
[19:50] <IntuitiveNipple> Fargh: Ubuntu uses upstart now, but has backward compatibility with inittab
[19:50] <Fargh> ok
[19:51] <Fargh> I eddited the /etc/inittab
[19:51] <Fargh> but i dont see the process being used
[19:51] <Maya> where can i get envy?

[19:51] <IntuitiveNipple> Fargh: but, the runlevel support does not accept changing runlevels, except for 'single' - let me find the info on this, I did a patch some time back...

[19:55] <l337ingDisorder> hey guys.. got an app that just won't die... process 6974 is xwinwrap and I've sent it the kill 9 and kill 15 command a few times but it keeps hangin' around on my ps -A list
[19:55] <l337ingDisorder> can anyone tell me how to shoot it in the head and get it outta here?
[19:56] <upd> hi, is there any program te get source code from .exe file ?
[19:56] <l337ingDisorder> upd: nope
[19:56] <TonikGin> upd: exe files are compiled applications from source code
[19:56] <l337ingDisorder> upd: a .exe file has already been compiled into machine language
[19:56] <Xubuntu> [19:55:09] <ShinobiTeno> xubuntu check fstab - whats that.
[19:56] <TonikGin> unless it's .net or VB, no
[19:56] <l337ingDisorder> TonikGin: good point
[19:57] <DasEi1> upd:could try to run it with wine
[19:57] <ShinobiTeno> ﻿Xubuntu -> terminal-> man fstab
[19:57] <l337ingDisorder> so does anybody know a way to force-terminate a process that isn't responding to kill -9 or kill -15 ??
[19:57] <l337ingDisorder> or is this process a juggernaut that will live even beyond the day the earth explodes? ;)
[19:57] <aleatorio> http://paste.ubuntu.com/50985/
[19:58] <ShinobiTeno> ﻿Xubuntu, write "mount -l" in terminal and paste output here
[19:58] <MindTheGap_> hello all, i have this daemon that needs to think its being started from a color terminal so its cli shows colors, how do i do it? when i log in to this machine i can see colors on prompt and the TERM="xterm-color" is set but when i connect to this program's CLI it is b/w. on hardy heron. funny thing it worked ok on every other previous ubuntu version.
[19:58] <aleatorio> how i do now?
[19:58] <IntuitiveNipple> l337ingDisorder: is it defunct; who owns it?
[19:58] <upd> ah okey, i don't want to run file, only see source, so if it is VB what program can i use ?
[19:58] <foetus> does anybody know the difference between the autohinter and the normal hinter under X? Is it enough to leave out the <autohint> tag in .fonts.conf?
[19:58] <Xubuntu> it dont matter ill just email myself the contents
[19:58] <DasEi1> l337ingDisorder:look up PID with top, then kill or killall <pid>
[19:58] <aleatorio> http://paste.ubuntu.com/50985/
[19:58] <l337ingDisorder> IntuitiveNipple: um.. guess I'm having a l337ing disorder here - i would tend to think that I own it... (?)
[19:58] <zloog> whats the KDE irc client?
[19:59] <l337ingDisorder> DasEi1: you mean htop?
[19:59] <zloog> nm
[19:59] <Maya> should i do a auto detect with envy or a manul
[19:59] <DasEi1> zloog:various, pidgin by default
[19:59] <zloog> thanks
[19:59] <DasEi1> l337ingDisorder:nope, top in terminal
[19:59] <IntuitiveNipple> l337ingDisorder: It seems you're not as l33t as I expected! :D  I meant, what user owns the process?
[19:59] <bazz> is leafnode a good choice if i want to run a private little newsgroup for just some friends?
[19:59] <l337ingDisorder> IntuitiveNipple: oh well then definitely me, it's not run as sudo or anything
[20:00] <q_> kl
[20:00] <IntuitiveNipple> Has anyone else every noticed that the degree of l33t or haxor in an IRC nick-name is inversely proportional to the actual level of skill in the art?
[20:01] <xomp> anyone know a good place to get backgrounds for nautilus? not desktop backgrounds, but nautilus ones rather :)
[20:01] <l337ingDisorder> DasEi1: ok I have top running and sent the kill signal with level 15 to the process.. same results - it lives still!
[20:01] <IntuitiveNipple> l337ingDisorder: It is possible the process is tied to some resource that can't be released. What's the process name?
[20:01] <skylar_> my laptop keeps over-heating and shutting off, is there a way in ubuntu to set the speed down????
[20:01]  * crashflow is not known as l33tn00bhaxxor
[20:01] <l337ingDisorder> IntuitiveNipple: hence the term l337ing DISORDER :)
[20:02] <ShinobiTeno> ﻿Does anybody know when the lastest GNOME will be merged? Actuall gnome has an error that prevents panel to stick to the bottom if not fullsize.
[20:02] <IntuitiveNipple> Maybe learning to spell correctly would help :p
[20:02] <l337ingDisorder> IntuitiveNipple: process name is xwinwrap :)
[20:02] <joshwhat> Why do some newly opened applications come to the foreground and take focus when others go to the background and not take focus.  I'm not using Compiz Fuzion.  I am using Hardy.
[20:03] <ShinobiTeno> what WM are you guys using now?
[20:03] <IntuitiveNipple> l337ingDisorder: Did it start misbehaving before you tried to kill it? I'm wondering if there are any clues as it what it was trying to do that could hold it
[20:03] <DasEi1> l337ingDisorder:sudo killall  xwinwrap                    doesn't work
[20:03] <DasEi1> ?
[20:03] <ShinobiTeno> joshwhat check compiz settings... theres a control panel for that "focus" behavior
[20:03] <esc> hey, where did /etc/X11/xorg.conf go? it just has weird entries?
[20:03] <joshwhat> ShinobiTeno, I've already said that I'm not using Compiz Fusion.
[20:04] <esc> alternatively: in what file exactly is the xorg configured for ubuntu?
[20:04] <ShinobiTeno> esc its X.org server config
[20:04] <DasEi1> esc: apt-get install pastebinit
[20:04] <IntuitiveNipple> l337ingDisorder: Interesting, now I look it up, you're not the first one with this issue. I helped someone else several months ago with a similar problem
[20:04] <l337ingDisorder> ShinobiTeno: You just have to go into gconf-editor -> apps -> panels -> toplevels
[20:04] <DasEi1> esc: pastebinit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[20:04] <IntuitiveNipple> l337ingDisorder: Let me search my IRC logs for what we did about it
[20:04] <alec> i just installed xubuntu, using the alternate install cd. and something is wrong with the display settings
[20:04] <l337ingDisorder> ShinobiTeno: then change the settings in top_panel_screen0 or whatever panels you want to move around.. (you'll want to change the x and y values mainly)
[20:04] <ShinobiTeno> l﻿l337ingDisorder man i was on #gnome channel. its a bug. tried EVERYTHING
[20:05] <ShinobiTeno> ﻿l337ingDisorder inclusive deletion and renaming
[20:05] <esc> unfortunatley the machine i am using isn't connected to the internet
[20:05] <DasEi1> esc: url from terminal ?

[20:05] <ShinobiTeno> ﻿l337ingDisorder thanks, checkin...
[20:05] <l337ingDisorder> IntuitiveNipple: thanks :) standing by...
[20:05] <skylar_> there is no way that I can set the cpu clock down in ubuntu or tell the computer to always run as slow as possible and take its time and not overheat...
[20:05] <esc> its a default install, but the xorg.conf is kinda empty
[20:06] <Lofde_> OMG I need some help bad! :(
[20:06] <l337ingDisorder> ShinobiTeno: np, hopefully it helps :) if it is in fact a bug then that guide won't help... but hopefully it's not :)
[20:06] <DasEi1> esc: url from terminal ?
[20:06] <skylar_> Lofde_ okay...
[20:06] <l337ingDisorder> Lofde_ ask :)
[20:06] <Lofde_> Ok, I was in the process of running the update to change from 8.04 to 8.10.... and it didnt do some of the updates
[20:06] <l337ingDisorder> eep
[20:06] <ShinobiTeno> ﻿l337ingDisorder thanks man!
[20:06] <Lofde_> and now i restarted, and it looked new, it has the 8.10 login screen, but when i logged in... now its stuck in enlightment window manager instead of GNOME :(!!
[20:07] <alec> im having display problems in xubuntu, the screen is blank on the right side. can anyone tell me how to fix this?
[20:07] <DasEi1> esc:sudo  apt-get install pastebinit
[20:07] <l337ingDisorder> ShinobiTeno: any time :)
[20:07] <DasEi1> esc: pastebinit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[20:07] <DasEi1> esc: url from terminal ?
[20:07] <IntuitiveNipple> l337ingDisorder: I can't find the conversation of it now, but I do remember installing and testing it and being relatively impressed by it
[20:07] <skylar_> I am running sudo dpkg --configure -a over and again b/c my laptop keeps shutting down in the middle.....
[20:07] <lore20> alec, what pc?
[20:07] <lore20> alec, and what graphic card?
[20:07] <alec> lore20: excuse me. its an ibok g3
[20:08] <esc> DasEi1: sorry, the machine has no internet connection
[20:08] <alec> lore20: i am not sure what graphic card.
[20:08] <l337ingDisorder> IntuitiveNipple: yeah it works most of the time.. one bash script changes the desktop background to blank/black and puts up an .AVI of a fireplace, another bash script sends pkill xwinwrap and restores the desktop image... usually no problems but this time xwinwrap seems to be clinging to life like a 103-year-old freemason
[20:08] <IntuitiveNipple> l337ingDisorder: The thing that occurs to me is, the process xwinwrap started, is it still running, or did it start other processes - they might be holding it up and need killing first
[20:08] <DasEi1> esc: uu, how to update ? why no inet ?
[20:08] <skylar_> if I make the room near 0 celsius, the computer runs better...
[20:09] <IntuitiveNipple> l337ingDisorder: Yeah, I remember using it to put my security camera feeds onto the desktop
[20:09] <l337ingDisorder> nice
[20:09] <DasEi1> alec:ternminal : lshw shows your graka amongst others
[20:09] <IntuitiveNipple> l337ingDisorder: but unless I wanted to never have other windows open - in other words, do no work - it was pointless :0
[20:09] <l337ingDisorder> i'mma just swallow my pride and follow the standard Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer Official Troubleshooting Guide To Any Problem: reboot.
[20:09] <IntuitiveNipple> l337ingDisorder: So, I suspect you've got a child or grandchild process of xwinwrap running
[20:09]  * lore20 at phone
[20:10] <l337ingDisorder> hmm i'll look for mplayer
[20:10] <skylar_> this laptop is the mobile text editor extraordinario
[20:10] <esc> DasEi1: cause i need an openvpn client, i am on a weird as fuck experimental network, that uses a layer 2 vpn gateway
[20:10] <IntuitiveNipple> l337ingDisorder: you could switch to VT #1 then stop gdm... then try killing any stray processes before restarting gdm
[20:10] <HymnToLife> !language | esc
[20:10] <skylar_> tthe hardest work it has to do is install texlive and vim full :/
[20:11] <esc> DasEi1: i'm just installing this on box i am trying to sell
[20:11] <IntuitiveNipple> l337ingDisorder: Once gdm is stopped the only processes belonging to your username should be the shell you're in and bash
[20:11] <DasEi1> esc:can you reach the machine now ?
[20:11] <esc> DasEi1: no
[20:11] <l337ingDisorder> IntuitiveNipple: yea if I was rnning a mission critical server that'd be worthwhile but I can afford a reboot on the lappy ;)
[20:11] <l337ingDisorder> thanks for the help though! :)
[20:11] <DasEi1> esc:that makes no sense in supporting then

[20:15] <dcabanis> any suggestions
[20:15] <narcoclepsy> skylar_: Lofde
[20:15] <damaranzig_> DasEil: thanx..will do :)
[20:15] <narcoclepsy> ?
[20:15] <Paddy_EIRE> dcabanis: what have you done so far
[20:15] <dcabanis> simple install from CD
[20:15] <DasEi1> esac: then create 3 different fstabs and rename them as needed
[20:15] <esac> DasEi1: also it seems that putting them in fstab causes linux to take ~5 times as long to reboot
[20:15] <skylar_> narcoclepsy I'm listening... what do you think you will try?
[20:15] <IntuitiveNipple> dcabanis: what is the video hardware of the PC?
[20:15] <dcabanis> it does not show me the usual GDM greeting interface
[20:15] <Paddy_EIRE> dcabanis: and have you enabled any restricted drivers or compiz for that matter?
[20:15] <esac> DasEi1: the shares arent available and i try to reboot, it hangs trying to unmount the share

[20:16] <alec> is there an xubuntu irc?
[20:16] <skylar_> narcoclepsy how about dpkg --configure -a ?
[20:17] <IntuitiveNipple> dcabanis: you'll need an ATI drivers expert I suspect - I've stayed away from them :)
[20:17] <mrtubby> i'm trying to add the "add/remove" programs launcher to my application launcher menu... and it just removes my checkmark after i click it can anyone help me?
[20:17] <skylar_> alec I think but smalll
[20:17] <dcabanis> I have not been able to enable/disable compiz since I can't even log in
[20:17] <narcoclepsy> skylar_: let me give that a shot
[20:18] <skylar_> narcoclepsy worth a shot, might help, won't hurt
[20:18] <alec> skylar: do you know anything about configuring graphics, im having a display problem.
[20:18] <skylar_> alec not much but shoot
[20:18] <IntuitiveNipple> dcabanis: compiz isn't touched until you do log-in, it sounds like a problem with the xorg-conf configuration, or a driver issue with the hardware
[20:18] <narcoclepsy> skylar_: well, it says the package manager is working, i imagine it is doing something in the background I'll let you know in a few. thx
[20:18] <dcabanis> Is there a way to boot into a Safe Video Mode in UBUNTU ?
[20:19] <skylar_> dcabanis do you get agrub scrreen?
[20:19] <dcabanis> yep
[20:19] <edgy> dcabanis: I guess you need to change the driver to vesa or ati instead of radeon
[20:19] <narcoclepsy> skylar_: can YOU apt-get update without problems?
[20:19] <alec> skylar: i just installed xubuntu from the alternate disk and the screen is all there but its skewed to the left of the screen and the top comes up from the bottom if that makes sense.
[20:19] <narcoclepsy> mine dies at 31%

[20:19] <edgy> dcabanis: yes
[20:19] <skylar_> narcoclepsy yes I can
[20:20] <edgy> dcabanis: or just remove the radeon driver altogether
[20:20] <skylar_> alec do you have a button on you monitor for "auto"?
[20:20] <narcoclepsy> skylar_: ok that rules out some kind of global apt-poison. grr. :-D
[20:20] <dcabanis> I can get to a terminal ctrl+alt + F1 so I should be able to edit xorg.conf
[20:20] <alec> skylar: no
[20:20] <dcabanis> I thought this file was read after login in
[20:20] <skylar_> narcoclepsy $man apt-get might help
[20:21] <narcoclepsy> thx i know all about apt. i've never had it just up and barf on itself before. disconcerting.
[20:21] <damaranzig_> how to get vlc ??? help, anyone?
[20:21] <dcabanis> apt-get remove radeon ??
[20:21] <narcoclepsy> this happened on the normal cron'd update
[20:22] <skylar_> dcabanis you might try to tab complete it out to findd the package name
[20:22] <`Matir> narcoclepsy, what happens when it barfs itself?
[20:22] <dcabanis> ok I'll try that
[20:22] <dcabanis> cheers

[20:32] <IntuitiveNipple> huge_sesh: give the xbox and the PC static IPs in a new subnet, add a netfilters masquerading rule on the PC (using iptables), and set the xbox gateway to the IP of the PC, and set DNS servers in the Xbox correctly for that network
[20:33] <PaulB77> anyone here have any luck tethering their BlackBerry 8830 as a modem to Ubuntu 8.04?
[20:33] <huge_sesh> whoa uh
[20:33] <bakarat_> i have a dell vostro which has a cd player which apparantly has no "eject" button, i entered a dvd, it did not auto-mount and i seem to have no way of getting it out?
[20:33] <^paradox^> im really in need of a hand setting up sharing of a printer over our network. this is the ubuntu computer. the printer is hooked up to my wifes windows vista computer. can someone pm me and help me finish this up? :-)
[20:33] <ad1> hello, what a subnet broadcast address is? I try to use findsmb command and if I want to see all host in my network I have to type ﻿ a subnet broadcast address.
[20:33] <huge_sesh> there's no way to do that with just dhcp?
[20:33] <bakarat_> anyone know a little trick to eject the cd?
[20:33] <damaranzig_> is vlc obsolete ??? anyone?
[20:33] <Turski> bakarat_: eject command doesnt eject it?
[20:33] <IntuitiveNipple> huge_sesh: And yes, that goes with a cross-over cable if you're directly connection the PC and xbox ethernet ports (unless one of them has an auto-configuring port)
[20:34] <huge_sesh> how would i know if it's auto-configuring
[20:34] <bakarat_> Turski, it is only while typing that i remembered that command :D
[20:34] <bakarat_> Turski, sorry for troubling ye :p
[20:34] <Turski> heh, np ;)
[20:34] <IntuitiveNipple> huge_sesh: yes, you could install and configure dnsmasq or similar as a DHCP/DNS server only listening on the PC's ethernet port that the xbox is attached to
[20:34] <Paddy_EIRE> damaranzig_: no why would it be?
[20:34] <MindTheGap_> hello all, i have this daemon that needs to think its being started from a color terminal so its cli shows colors, how do i do it? when i log in to this machine i can see colors on prompt and the TERM="xterm-color" is set but when i connect to this program's CLI it is b/w. on hardy heron. funny thing it worked ok on every other previous ubuntu version.
[20:35] <huge_sesh> ok cool.
[20:35] <IntuitiveNipple> huge_sesh: reading the docs/specifications of the chipset and/or PC manufacturer
[20:35] <huge_sesh> thanks intuitivenipple
[20:35] <huge_sesh> i'll look into this
[20:35] <narcoclepsy> skylar_: that appears to have fixed it thanks.

[20:35] <narcoclepsy> looks like multiverse src i was using is corrupt for now
[20:35] <FloodBot3> Pretto: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[20:35] <IntuitiveNipple> huge_sesh: I'm sure if you Google "ubuntu xbox dhcp" you may find useful articles
[20:35] <Pretto> sorry

[20:37] <Paddy_EIRE> damaranzig_: let me see your sources.list
[20:37] <esac> ^paradox^: nobody is going to pm you to discuss, help usually stays within the channel. as for your issue, did you turn on file and printer sharing on your wifes computer, and enable an exception in the firewall ?
[20:38] <basiCo> WOW.. 1415 users..
[20:38] <danieltherock> there are 1417 users. can one user help me?
[20:38] <^paradox^> i turned on the sharing items yes
[20:38] <basiCo> it's amazing
[20:38] <esac> !patience | danieltherock

[20:38] <ompaul> !offtopic
[20:38] <basiCo> danieltherock: what's the problem?
[20:38] <reformer81> I just installed the restricted nVidia drivers.  Now I see the login screen, but when I login, my monitor gives me an "Out of Range" error.  How do I fix this?
[20:39] <basiCo> please Query me :)
[20:39] <ompaul> !pm

[20:40] <mrtubby> what groups do you have to be a member of to have the add/remove launcher in the applications menu?
[20:40] <damaranzig_> Paddy_EIRE: hang on...
[20:40] <reformer81> mrtubby - Admins have that, I believe.
[20:40] <ad1> ﻿danieltherock, type in terminal: gksudo displayconfig-gtk
[20:40] <esac> ^paradox^: if it is automatically detected, it would show up in the devices on the left. otherwise you will need to select Windows Printer via SAMBA and add it
[20:41] <danieltherock> adl_ok
[20:41] <Tonno> I can't see the ubuntu's graphic everytime that I do a Restart or shutdown, all what I see is a back background and a white letter, there is something i can do to fix it?
[20:41] <esac> ^paradox^: for that to work first you need to share the printer on your wifes computer by going to printers, right clicking and selecting "share"
[20:41] <basiCo> in terminal sudo -s | displayconfig-gtk
[20:41] <skylar_> narcolepsy woot! I helped someone!
[20:41] <^paradox^> if i try go to server it say httpconnectionencrypt failed
[20:41] <reformer81> I just installed the restricted nVidia drivers.  Now I see the login screen, but when I login, my monitor gives me an "Out of Range" error.  How do I fix this?
[20:41] <ad1> ﻿danieltherock, then set right resolution in display settings
[20:41] <danbh_intrepid> !xconfig | reformer81   maybe this, but you might need to reinstall your nvidia drivers
[20:42] <esac> ^paradox^: i havent seen either of those errors, sounds like something is messed up. ive added 3 printers using both methods and had no issues, sorry :(
[20:42] <basiCo> there's spanish or latin users? i speak spanish :
[20:42] <reformer81> danh_intrepid - I've already tried that.  And a look at my xorg.conf file has no information under the "Device" section.
[20:43] <noodlesgc> !es | basiCo
[20:43] <^paradox^> well i gotta figure out whats messed up. im getting very behind because of this
[20:44] <danbh_intrepid> reformer81: what version ubuntu are you using?

[20:48] <Wrinkliez> would anyone know why in ekiga or skype my webcam is fast, in camorama it won't recognize my camera, and in cheese the picture is very slow?
[20:48] <danbh_intrepid> trigpin: gnome 24 will be out for ubuntu in a month and 4 days
[20:48] <magen1> lore ciao ;)
[20:48] <lorenzo> anyone into ubuntu studio in here? The specific room seems dead...
[20:48] <trigpin> xomp, gnome look is very good
[20:49] <trigpin> danbh_intrepid,  thanks
[20:49] <damaranzig_> Paddy_EIRE: so, did you get it?
[20:49] <danbh_intrepid> Wrinkliez: camerama only supports v4l, which is depreciated
[20:49] <xomp> trigpin, I tried there but don't see any specific patterns for nautilus there :( I would like to use a graphic instead of a pattern really but dunno how :/
[20:49] <Paddy_EIRE> damaranzig_: are you trying to use DCC?
[20:50] <Paddy_EIRE> !pastebin | damaranzig_
[20:50] <Wrinkliez> danbh_intrepid: would you have any idea why cheese runs so poorly?
[20:50] <Paddy_EIRE> damaranzig_: got it
[20:50] <damaranzig_> Paddy_EIRE: dcc chat
[20:50] <danbh_intrepid> Wrinkliez: probably it has the lighting set differently,  Is it brighter?
[20:51] <Wrinkliez> umm, not that i can tell
[20:51] <damaranzig_> Paddy_EIRE: so? whadya think?
[20:51] <trigpin> xomp, here one http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Art+Of+Cappuccino+Nautilus+Patterns?content=64305
[20:51] <Paddy_EIRE> damaranzig_: do "apt-cache search vlc" in a terminal
[20:51] <damaranzig_> Paddy_EIRE: is it the end of the world?
[20:51] <Paddy_EIRE> damaranzig_: lol no
[20:51] <abby87> Wrinkliez: start cheese and wait for some time till it gets adjusted to light
[20:52] <Wrinkliez> kk
[20:52] <Wrinkliez> i also get these errors while running cheese from terminal
[20:52] <damaranzig_> Paddy_EIRE: will do
[20:52] <xomp> thanks trigpin :)
[20:53] <trigpin> xomp, np , not sure howto install tho . good luck =)
[20:53] <danbh_intrepid> Wrinkliez: dont use cheese to debug cheese and webcams.  Use gstreamer-properties
[20:53] <lorenzo> I wonder if anyone here can help with a uninstallation problem.
[20:53] <danbh_intrepid> !anyone > lorenzo   we ask that you just ask your questions
[20:54] <abby87> !anyone
[20:54] <^paradox^> i really need a hand. im trying to share a printer over our network between our two computers. the printer is connected to my wifes windows vista computer. printer and file sharing are enabled. when i go to system administration printing it says im not connected. that wasnt happening last nite. it started today. all i did was close it last nite
[20:54] <abby87> !vista
[20:55] <damaranzig_> Paddy_EIRE: it didn't fail not to work :(
[20:55] <Paddy_EIRE> hmm damaranzig_what happened
[20:55] <abby87> ^paradox^: which ubuntu version are u using
[20:55] <abby87> ?
[20:55] <^paradox^> 8.04
[20:56] <damaranzig_> Paddy_EIRE: did as you said >>apt-cache search vlc but nada
[20:56] <Wrinkliez> so ive tinkered with the cam
[20:56] <Wrinkliez> http://pastebin.com/d2d47d9c7
[20:56] <Wrinkliez> any ideas?
[20:56] <lorenzo> I installed ubuntu-studio audio package, but would like to have the extended version of one of the softwares, that is Pure Data. But if I try removing it with synaptic I get a message that all the ubuntu-studio chould be also removed. That seems quit illogical. What am I missing?
[20:56] <yaro> Does anyone have any idea how to forward Internet access from my Ubuntu box to my Treo over Bluetooth?
[20:56] <danbh_intrepid> Wrinkliez: please see my previous message
[20:56] <Wrinkliez> about gstreamer?
[20:56] <runemaste644> how can i get a microsoft wireless headset to work with 8.04?
[20:57] <Wrinkliez> oh oops i thought i uploaded that one
[20:57] <danbh_intrepid> lorenzo: its ok, just let it remove ubuntu-studio.   You dont need that package anyway
[20:57] <Wrinkliez> -_-
[20:57] <Paddy_EIRE> damaranzig_: give me a moment to review your sources again
[20:57] <Paddy_EIRE> sec
[20:57] <noodlesgc> lorenzo ubuntu-studio is a metapackage, it will not remove all the parts of ubuntu-studio
[20:57] <harleyquine> hi peeps. Seem to have a problem with my icons disappearing in Gnome, have played with the gconf-editor and got them back but whenever I log in again they're gone, any tips?
[20:58] <damaranzig_> Paddy_EIRE: just be sure it won't keep you away from your cuppa coffee
[20:58] <lorenzo> ﻿noodlesgc: I see thanks. Just for my better information... what exactly is a metapackage?
[20:58] <NauarchLysander> ﻿How can I get the build-essentials package? I tried sudo apt-get install, but it didn't work.
[20:58] <runemaste644> i think its probably an xbox 360 headset
[20:58] <gmm46> hey does anyone know how to like play or work on this ubuntu computer from another pc on another network
[20:58] <gmm46> ?
[20:58] <lorenzo> (thanks also to ﻿danbh_intrepid :)
[20:58] <Paddy_EIRE> damaranzig_: no worries mate
[20:58] <^paradox^> ok
[20:58] <danbh_intrepid> NauarchLysander: can you pastebin the error?
[20:58] <yaro> Does anyone have any idea how to forward Internet access from my Ubuntu box to my Treo over Bluetooth?
[20:59] <noodlesgc> lorenzo its a package that depends on a whole bunch of different packages, so it installs a certain set of software
[20:59] <faceface> yo yo yo
[20:59] <faceface> word yo
[20:59] <dr_willis> gmm46,  depends on what you want to do..  xming lets you have a X desktop/apps on the  remote box, or vnc, or freenx,  ssh is also handy
[20:59] <faceface> how do I get the 'configure your sound card' dialogue up?
[20:59] <Wrinkliez> hm, what exactly am i looking for in gstreamer properties?
[20:59] <gmm46> does anyone know how to use remote desktop from another pc to work on this one
[20:59] <gmm46> ?
[20:59] <NauarchLysander> I am using a German version, so perhaps it's not exactly what it says on an English version. It says Couldn't find package build-essentials.
[20:59] <gmm46> ok
[21:00] <Wrinkliez> when i start it i get some messages saying skipping unavailable plugins
[21:00] <damaranzig_> Paddy_EIRE: just some universe stuff...this universe and some far away multiverse
[21:00] <gmm46> but i meen
[21:00] <dr_willis> NauarchLysander,  its build-essential  i belive
[21:00] <felix-da-catz> woot!
[21:00] <NauarchLysander> dr_willis, ok, i'll try
[21:00] <gmm46> im woried that i wont beable to do anything on this pc from another
[21:00] <lorenzo> ﻿noodlesgc: ok. I think I start to understand.. so that if I uninstall something in it gets "officially" broken and thus synaptic says it has to "remove" it.
[21:00] <dr_willis> gmm46,  remote desktop, vnc, freenx, gnome has its own special remote desktop thing also.. or X/xming/xdmcp
[21:00] <NauarchLysander> ok, you're right, I should have checked that...
[21:00] <fsl> hello, how do i mount my usb camera?
[21:00] <faceface> all I can find is "System -> prefence -> sound", but thats not it
[21:00] <biouser> so one may read and write out of and into a .tar.gz archive?
[21:01] <faceface> hey Biolunar
[21:01] <gmm46> i have remote desktop active now
[21:01] <faceface> biouser
[21:01] <yaro> Does anyone have any idea how to forward Internet access from my Ubuntu box to my Treo over Bluetooth?
[21:01] <danbh_intrepid> fsl: you just plug it in
[21:01] <gmm46> but the other pc is windows
[21:01] <noodlesgc> lorenzo well, since a metapackge depends on a program being installed, when you uninstall that program, the metapackge must be removed also
[21:01] <biouser> faceface, hello
[21:01] <fsl> doesn't work, my usb mouse works but its slow and jumps around the screen, danbh_intrepid
[21:01] <dr_willis> gmm46,  freenx, vnc,  have windows clients.. or install xming, and use xdmcp to have X apps appear on the windows box.
[21:01] <gmm46> ok
[21:02] <faceface> biouser, you talking about fuse?
[21:02] <danbh_intrepid> fsl: then your usb something or other isnt working... what version of ubuntu are you using?
[21:02] <^paradox^> i was on for three hours last nite with this. i cant just give up. ive got to get this printer setup to be shared
[21:02] <NauarchLysander> I have another question. When I installed the Java JRE and JDK I also tried to install the documentation (in Synaptic). Of course, it didn't work out, but now every time I'm installing a package it tries to install the doc. How can I stop that?
[21:02] <fsl> danbh_intrepid: newest, i downloaded it a few days ago.
[21:02] <lorenzosu> noodlesgc: Ok thanks I think I got it, what I wanted to be sure about is that all the other software wasn't being uninstalled too.
[21:02] <Guest34383> apt-get remove java-doc
[21:03] <danbh_intrepid> fsl: sounds like a bug, maybe file in launchpad.net
[21:03] <NauarchLysander> Guest34383: I'll try.
[21:03] <biouser> faceface, just trying to read/write directly into .tar.gz archive, is taking so long I think that I might just take it out and rearchive it every time...
[21:03] <nalys> !trash
[21:03] <NauarchLysander> It says it can't find the package, perhaps it isn't called java-doc. I'll check in Synaptic.
[21:04] <Paddy_EIRE> damaranzig_: use this sources.list http://paste.ubuntu.com/51018/  delete the contents of your current sources and replace with that one
[21:04] <faceface> biouser, using file-roller?
[21:04] <faceface> biouser, fuse is good for this kind of thing
[21:04] <^paradox^> there are 1419 ppl here. i just need a little one on one help. Goofee8961 was working with me but had to leave last nite
[21:04] <Paddy_EIRE> damaranzig_: once you do that save the file and do "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade"
[21:04] <faceface> biouser, you 'mount' the .tar.gz as a directory
[21:04] <danbh_intrepid> damaranzig_: what version of ubuntu are you running?
[21:05] <biouser> faceface, it just disappeared!!
[21:05] <Paddy_EIRE> damaranzig_: I will be right back just going for a smoke
[21:05] <biouser> and it's not in trash or on my udisk
[21:05] <damaranzig_> Paddy_EIRE: cool
[21:05] <Paddy_EIRE> :)
[21:05] <biouser> omg
[21:06] <damaranzig_> Paddy_EIRE: i always had a deep respect for anything tubercular
[21:06] <NauarchLysander> ok, it worked, it's called sun-java6-doc
[21:06] <Guest34383> you can also download the doc from sun and place it in /tmp so the install will work
[21:06] <danbh_intrepid> damaranzig_: are you running 7.04?
[21:06] <damaranzig_> danbh_intrepid: feisty
[21:06] <lorenzosu> I have another question: I am woring on an install of ubuntu 8.04.1 on an external hard drive: I successfully managed and made it bootable with grub. But I noticed that the grub on usb "sees" itself as (hd0,0). So I corrected this in the menu. What I haven't understood yet is how it "sees" a possible fixed hard drive on the computer I plug the drive in
[21:06] <faceface> biouser, your computer dissapeared?
[21:07] <biouser> faceface, my archive
[21:07] <danbh_intrepid> damaranzig_: ok
[21:07] <damaranzig_> danbh_intrepid: is that bad as is "bad" ???
[21:07] <danbh_intrepid> damaranzig_: what?
[21:07] <damaranzig_> danbh_intrepid: is that bad as in "bad" ???
[21:07] <faceface> biouser, did you untar it?
[21:07] <danbh_intrepid> damaranzig_: well, I saw what you wrote, I just dont get it
[21:08] <faceface> how do I pull up the sound-card config gui?
[21:08] <dr_willis> lorenzosu,  ive seen some machines/bios's that reorder the drives if it sees/or boots from external usb drives.
[21:08] <damaranzig_> danbh_intrepid: I meant should I go for 7.10 instead ???
[21:08] <damaranzig_> danbh_intrepid: or 8++
[21:08] <dr_willis> lorenzosu,  i was thinking on one box.. any drive usb drive i booted from became hd0
[21:09] <danbh_intrepid> damaranzig_: but, the only thing bad is that 7.04 is no longer supported, nor is 7.10.  Only security updates, and critical updates that regard data loss
[21:09] <lorenzosu> dr_willis: I tried that and on at least 3 machines it was like that, but where does grub "get" the hd0, hd1 etc.?
[21:09] <damaranzig_> danbh_intrepid: that bad, huh?
[21:10] <danbh_intrepid> damaranzig_: its not bad, if you can live with whatever bugs you find
[21:10] <faceface> my sound card isn't detected when I log in as a certain user
[21:10] <dr_willis> lorenzosu,  it scans for all the drives  i guess and enumerates them that way.
[21:10] <lorenzosu> dr_willis: do you know if there is a way to get a list from grub, similarly as one would do with fdisk -l?
[21:11] <damaranzig_> danbh_intrepid: i don't get any pleasure in sharing my living space with bugs
[21:11] <skylar_> my usb disk has less and less space everytime I use it
[21:11] <skylar_> !udisk
[21:11] <NauarchLysander> Is there a program that can convert proprietary mp3 files to another format (e.g. .ogg)?
[21:11] <damaranzig_> !vlc
[21:11] <dr_willis> lorenzosu,  go read the grub manual, at the grub homepage.. grubs command line  has tools/name completion that can show what all it sees
[21:11] <skylar_> why does my usb disk have less and less space?  How can i recover the space?

[21:27] <ActionParsnip> faceface: apt downloads debs not rpms
[21:27] <biouser> how can I tell if my laptop can work with APM?  (as opposed to ACPI?)

[21:27] <litel> Hi i'm seeking a fruity loops equivalence, does anyone know one ?*
[21:27] <ActionParsnip> faceface: its completely different, thats why alien is required to convert
[21:27] <faceface> biouser, set up a login and try?
[21:28] <jdpond> I cannot add users, change, etc., because it looks like will not allow me as admin
[21:28] <Paddy_EIRE> faceface: debs are debs and rpms are rpms
[21:28] <ejer> ActionParsnip: looks like you are on 64bit, FOF is 32bit, install ia32-libs
[21:28] <faceface> ActionParsnip, so whats the diff?
[21:28] <ActionParsnip> faceface: ubntu is a debina (deb) based system, rpm is fro redhat and mandriva etc
[21:28] <faceface> who cares?
[21:28] <Paddy_EIRE> !alien | faceface
[21:28] <ActionParsnip> faceface: its a completely different system

[21:28] <ActionParsnip> faceface: ignorance is bliss eh
[21:28] <Paddy_EIRE> willfull ignorance
[21:28] <faceface> my F box uses yum, my ubox uses apt...
[21:28] <GleepGlop> better to compile from source than to mess with alien

[21:28] <biouser> login where?
[21:28] <xmagixx> kitche: well the bigger picture is i'm on x64 and the java aint buildt for it yet, sun-java that is, so i'm useing a 32 bit java with 32 bt firefox "still doesnt work sadly" and so i installed the java that comes with that guide on ubuntu

[21:31] <pryorda> faceface: google configuring ubuntu sound

[21:31] <ActionParsnip> ejer: sorry, lemme scroll up
[21:31] <faceface> pryorda, alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such device
[21:31] <faceface> pryorda, ok

[21:31] <xmagixx> kitche: soo java6 -jar nameoffile.jar ?
[21:31] <Paddy_EIRE> faceface: or better yet search the ubuntu forums
[21:31] <pryorda> sudo -s

[21:32] <daveress> I installed ubuntu on an externl HD and now I can't boot my original XP without the external HD plugged in. Obviously grub was installed on my internal HD. Any idea how to fix the problem?
[21:32] <daveress> or should I just use the forums?
[21:33] <kitche> xmagixx: do this cd /usr/bin
[21:33] <ActionParsnip> !grub | daveress
[21:33] <danbh_intrepid> daveress: I know the problem
[21:33] <kitche> xmagixx: then ls|grep java
[21:33] <trigpin> i would like to run custom commands , like aliases , but want to run more than on at same time . this possible ?
[21:33] <munzir> Hi, can any one help me with this problem: http://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/46430

[21:34] <WarrenMt> Hi Guys I got a problem with my Ubuntu server- when it loses power and reboots it comes up and apears to have the files missing in some directories, but if I reboot it again from XWindows, after the reboot the files come back ?? help please come explain
[21:34] <xmagixx> kitche: long list to work through hehe
[21:34] <faceface> biouser, recompile your kernel
[21:34] <biouser> toshset description says that kernel does not have to be altered
[21:34] <biouser> faceface, howto
[21:34] <kitche> xmagixx: well it seems like you only have one java installed
[21:34] <faceface> biouser, erm... I forget... I aint needed to do it in so long...
[21:34] <faceface> biouser, go to linuxkernel.com
[21:35] <trigpin> WarrenMt,  sure they are just not hidden ?
[21:35] <xmagixx> kitche: hmm well when i right click the jar file i can choose 5 ways to execute it, 1 openjdk 2 java5 and 2 java6
[21:35] <WarrenMt> Hi Tig
[21:35] <WarrenMt> no
[21:35] <xmagixx> kitche: ofc 1 of each java has a x32 version also
[21:35] <WarrenMt> it's like a safe mode I think
[21:35] <danbh_intrepid> daveress: grub looks for a /boot, so you installed grub to the mbr, but it looks for the /boot on the external drive.  Thats why the external drive must be plugged in.  There are probably docs on how to install ubuntu on an external drive.  I think it involves just being able to boot from that drive.  Anyway, good luck
[21:36] <trigpin> WarrenMt,  not sure then sorry
[21:36] <kitche> xmagixx: when you right click do this right click on the java6 option and go to properties
[21:36] <jdpond> btw, can do adduser stuff from command line, just fine
[21:36] <stock> anybody here, who has some deeper knowledge of ubuntu?
[21:36] <WarrenMt> Trig how do I check the runtime it is running in ?

[21:36] <xmagixx> kitche: yea
[21:37] <subsume> How can I verify that my root address is setup correctly?
[21:37] <stock> my problem is that it seems tht acpid does not parse the events correct at startup
[21:37] <stock> but only at startup
[21:37] <acu> I want to capture the video and audio from my webcam what program can do that (luvcview captures only video no audio) ?
[21:37] <kitche> xmagixx: it should give you the path/name to run it
[21:37] <crisis> my penis turn into green!
[21:37] <stock> if I restart the acpid later, it behaves as expected
[21:37] <crisis> what can i do?
[21:37] <trigpin> WarrenMt,  don't know
[21:38] <WarrenMt> Guy's can someone help me figure out which run time my Ubunto booted into ?
[21:38] <WarrenMt> Thanks Trigpin

[21:42] <MindTheGap_> munzir, im there already, i just stated that on the question "... from terminal? besides restarting udev... "
[21:42] <ActionParsnip> MrDudle: you dont its abstracted into wine
[21:42] <MrDudle> i'm sure there is something similiar but i'm sooooo not gonna try
[21:42] <MrDudle> oh ok
[21:42] <MrDudle> thank you for answering :)
[21:42] <ActionParsnip> MrDudle: np
[21:42] <noodlesgc> Milos yeah its been down for a while
[21:43] <MrDudle> ActionParsnip, i have to say all in all i love ubuntu
[21:43] <Hillshum> how do i connect to a windows network?
[21:43] <biouser> anyone know of a program that can sniff my bios password?
[21:43] <Milos> noodlesgc, hah :\
[21:43] <MrDudle> Hillshum, it should be the same as connecting normally
[21:43] <faceface> bleah... me goes for init 3 to 5
[21:43] <MrDudle> if you don't have wireless
[21:43] <MrDudle> anyway
[21:43] <Hillshum> i mean a home network from win
[21:43] <MrDudle> ...
[21:44]  * jdpond trying again - cannot perform admin functions using Users and Groups.  "unlock" button disabled, tried using sudo and sudo - s.  can use addusers . . . no problems.  When using bash, get: "unable to lookup session information" error
[21:44] <MrDudle> Hillshum, do you mean as in like you want to take ubuntu and connect to a home network?
[21:44] <Hillshum> yes
[21:44] <noodlesgc> biouser sniffing is scanning essentially, if you don't enter it, the sniffer won't pick it up. You mean a bios password cracker? I don't think that is really allowed in here
[21:44] <MrDudle> do you have a router Hillshum
[21:44] <danbh_intrepid> jdpond: maybe its time to reinstall?
[21:45] <biouser> noodlesgc, I wish I could get into my bios
[21:45] <munzir> MindTheGap_: then why can't you inspect your messages file to see whether it's recognized?
[21:45] <peter77> Over the past week I have encountered system freezes which cause my laptop to freeze up and the fans start running at full revs, I am unable to restart or shutdown by any means other than holding the power button down
[21:45] <cyris|> I got a server behind an ipcop box. its located in a dmz. it uses my isp's dns servers for lookups. what should be its proper hostname?
[21:45] <MrDudle> Hillshum, do you have a router?
[21:45] <jdpond> danbh_intrepid: 3rd times a charm - but you may be right.  This was my last shot before retry!
[21:45] <Hillshum> MrDudle:dsl modem with 1 usb and 1 ethernet ubuntu on usb win on ethernet
[21:45] <biouser> if I login to grub I can see whethere i am running APM or APCI?
[21:45] <Axle> how do I get ubuntu to recognize a new hard drive?
[21:45] <MindTheGap_> biouser, doesnt the mobo have a bios reset jumper? all of them do...
[21:46] <hardcorelinux> peter77, on Hardy Heron(64bit)?
[21:46] <Axle> I'm on Hardy
[21:46] <MrDudle> Hillshum, a router not a modem
[21:46] <Daft_Punk> i have tint2 installed for my running tasks panel, and i restarted my PC recently now the font on it is really small and I can't see the time/date clearly
[21:46] <danbh_intrepid> biouser: you might be able to reset the bios password, but you have to check your computer docs for that.  It has nothing to do with ubuntu
[21:46] <MrDudle> unless your modem can function as a router too
[21:46] <Hillshum> no router
[21:46] <biouser> MindTheGap_, i don't have the right screwdriver to take out 2 of the screws...
[21:46] <peter77> hardcorelinux, hardy with the generic kernel
[21:46] <MrDudle> well thats your problem Hillshum
[21:46] <MrDudle> you need a router
[21:46] <trigpin> i would like to run custom commands , like aliases , but want to run more than on at same time . this possible ?
[21:46] <Hillshum> it networked two wins
[21:46] <danbh_intrepid> jdpond: if you have a separate /home, it makes it allot easier
[21:46] <MrDudle> do you have any ports left?
[21:46] <biouser> oh well, laptop seems to be working okay...
[21:46] <MrDudle> usb ethernet etc
[21:47] <mystery> Hello everyone
[21:47] <hardcorelinux> peter77, 4Gig of RAM?
[21:47] <MindTheGap_> biouser, is that a friggin mac? any knife will do...
[21:47] <Hillshum> no
[21:47] <xmagixx> kitche: figured it out well sort a hehe, i used  sudo update-alternatives --config java and choose java6, somehow it was on java6jdk, now i just use java -jar and will wait and see other applications on how they work so far
[21:47] <peter77> hardcorelinux, 1gb
[21:47] <MrDudle> Hillshum, get a router
[21:47] <MrDudle> then you can set it up to connect another computer
[21:47] <Hillshum> ahh
[21:47] <MrDudle> plus you'll have wireless capabilities
[21:47] <Axle> ﻿hey, how can I get Hardy to recognize a new hard drive I installed?
[21:47]  * Hillshum has nothing with wireless
[21:48] <mystery> Can someone help me uninstall window media player on wine? WMP does not show up on the add remove program list.
[21:48] <ActionParsnip> Axle: sudo fdisk -l
[21:48] <MrDudle> Hillshum, with a router you'd have a wireless network as well
[21:48] <biouser> MindTheGap_, it is a deep slender hole that will require a special knife...
[21:48] <Hillshum> but i have no need
[21:48] <faceface> feh
[21:48] <faceface> this user the sound works fine
[21:48] <MrDudle> Hillshum, a router also lets you have more connections :P
[21:48] <faceface> the other user, no change in sound
[21:49] <faceface> all that messing about trying to config alsa
[21:49] <Axle> hmm
[21:49] <Axle> ActionParsnip: thanks
[21:49] <Axle> I found it
[21:49] <trigpin> i would like to run custom commands , like aliases , but want to run more than on at same time . this possible ?
[21:49] <Axle> how do I partition it?
[21:49] <faceface> its not alsa - my sound card is just not detected by the other user
[21:49] <FloodBot3> Axle: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[21:49] <noodlesgc> mystery is there a wine menu?
[21:49] <faceface> mystery is a wine menu
[21:49] <faceface> Axle, partition magic?
[21:49] <MindTheGap_> biouser, do you have access to the little battery inside the equipment? short it
[21:49] <faceface> FloodBot3, please die
[21:49] <mystery> yea i have a wine menu under applications
[21:49] <noodlesgc> mystery it should be in there
[21:50] <hardcorelinux> peter77, http://www.mattcutts.com/blog/six-annoyances-in-hardy-heron-ubuntu (check out h3's comment about AMD/Nvidia)
[21:50] <MrDudle> faceface, telling a bot to die is super cul!
[21:50] <faceface> how do I run the 'gnome-detect-sound-card' gui?
[21:50] <peter77> hardcorelinux, my laptop has an intel graphics chipset
[21:50] <faceface> MrDudle, duly noted
[21:50] <biouser> MindTheGap_, I have little access into the machine
[21:50] <Axle> how do I format a hard drive on Hardy?
[21:50] <faceface> this place is too full of well meaning bots and ill meaning idiots
[21:51] <faceface> Axle, fsck
[21:51] <biouser> MindTheGap_, everything is okay right now.  But if i run it hard it will turn off...
[21:51] <MrDudle> faceface, then leave?
[21:51] <MrDudle> You do have the option of leaving.
[21:51] <jasunto>      /msg nickserv register jay624 jasunto@gmail.com
[21:51] <faceface> MrDudle, you leave!
[21:51] <mystery> it just shows the WMP to launch the program. wine's add remove prgram menu doesnt have WMP in it for some reason
[21:51] <trigpin> Axle,  if you want a grapical formater sudo apt-get install gparted in terminal
[21:51] <Axle> faceface: don't I have to tell it which hard drive to fomat?
[21:51] <Axle> kk trigpin
[21:52] <faceface> MrDudle, I'm just making the point that the level of support I have experienced in here is pretty low :(
[21:52] <faceface> Axle, there is a menu within fsck
[21:52] <noodlesgc> mystery why are you trying to use WMP? have you tried Rhythmbox or Banshee?
[21:52] <faceface> or just man fsck
[21:52] <MrDudle> faceface, it takes time :0
[21:52] <jasunto> man im glad i tried that with a fake password, kenw that shit would screw upo
[21:52] <danbh_intrepid> faceface: you need to take it to offtopic of ops, but please stop your complaining here
[21:52] <faceface> Axle, if you don't know what to do try ext3
[21:52] <MrDudle> faceface, this room can be helpful but it's not an instant all answer machine
[21:52] <danbh_intrepid> faceface: s/of/or/
[21:52] <faceface> stop complaiing? What else is there to do?
[21:53] <Axle> I'm formatting for NTFS
[21:53] <mystery> Im trying to remove it. but i do need to install another verison of wmp so i can run a program that needs it
[21:53] <nickrud> danbh_intrepid, faceface please don't escalate
[21:53] <Axle> because I want it to work on windows, too
[21:53] <faceface> Answer me!!!
[21:53] <faceface> nickrud, /me tones it down
[21:53] <peter77> hardcorelinux, I thought it may be a kernel problem as when hardy was released my system started freezing so I moved over to fedora which when upgraded started freezing, only recently have I come back to hardy and this problem is still present
[21:53] <faceface> Axle, OK
[21:53] <MrDudle> faceface, what is your problem?
[21:53] <faceface> you
[21:53] <Azzmodan> ntfs-3g has some minor issues but works quite good otherwise
[21:53] <MrDudle> no i'm asking
[21:53] <MrDudle> what do you need help with :P
[21:53] <ad1> ﻿hello, I try to use findsmb command and if I want to see all host in my local network it shows about 3, but if I send ping, there is about 100 hosts wchih responds. Anybudy know how can I see all active hosts?
[21:53] <faceface> Seems my sound card is not detected by one user
[21:53] <faceface> MrDudle, ;-) I got confused
[21:53] <Hillshum> !Language | jasunto
[21:53] <MrDudle> its ok
[21:53] <ROBuntu> girls, your all pretty
[21:54] <Azzmodan> ad1, check out nmap
[21:54] <MrDudle> do you need help with something faceface ?
[21:54] <noodlesgc> mystery if it is not showing up how do you know if it is installed?
[21:54] <Pici> faceface: make sure that user is in the audo group.
[21:54] <Pici> faceface: audio rather.
[21:54] <brutus> anybody using mcabber?
[21:54] <faceface> In F there is a 'system-config-soundcard' or similar
[21:54] <faceface> I need to get ubuntu to recognize my sound card for one particular user
[21:54] <hardcorelinux> peter77, could be that the new kernels in the upgrades and your hardware setup don't mix properly
[21:55] <faceface> which seems strange
[21:55] <trigpin> i would like to run custom commands , like aliases , but want to run more than on at same time . this possible ?
[21:55] <node357> faceface, is the user in the audo group ?
[21:55] <faceface> can anyone help me configure my sound card? I don't need to configure alsa
[21:55] <node357> audio*
[21:55] <nickrud> faceface, have you checked what Pici mentioned?
[21:55] <ROBuntu> mrdudle:  I need help with I'm guessing a relatively simple problem.  Game?
[21:55] <faceface> node357, that sounds like the answer
[21:55] <Axle> how do you get gparted to format into NTFS?
[21:55] <faceface> for some reason, this particular user 'fell out' off all the groups
[21:55] <Azzmodan> trigpin, command1 && command2
[21:56] <faceface> that explains how he fell out of 'sudo'
[21:56] <nickrud> faceface, probably a misuse of groupadd ;)
[21:56] <mystery> the wmp icon is in the wine program folder. However when i go to try and uninstall the program its not listed to be removed.
[21:56] <node357> faceface, add the user to admin group to get sudo access
[21:56] <faceface> nickrud, sounds right I prolly forgot the -a
[21:56] <hardcorelinux> peter77, I have compaq v3000, gusty kernel required me to boot off with 'pci=assign-busses', where as hardy kernel boots with out it
[21:56] <faceface> node357, cool
[21:56] <faceface> Thanks channel!!!
[21:56] <faceface> just remember that you only stated to pay attention when I started balling like a baby!!!
[21:56] <node357> lol
[21:57] <MrDudle> faceface, oh shut up :P
[21:57] <nickrud> faceface,  adm dialout cdrom floppy audio dip video plugdev fuse lpadmin admin sambashare are the default groups for an admin group
[21:57] <faceface> cheers node357
[21:57] <peter77> hardcorelinux, yeah unfortunately some upgrades break/ fix different problems on different machines
[21:57] <faceface> l8r MrDudle
[21:57] <nickrud> faceface, nah, you need to ask regularly. New eyes and all that
[21:57] <faceface> nickrud, yup
[21:57] <MrDudle> later
[21:57] <peter77> hardcorelinux, atm I'm running pc bsd but thinking about going back to a linux distro
[21:57] <faceface> nickrud, I was aksing every 15 seconds!
[21:57] <Hillshum> MrDudle: I can see my network. Is the password an admin one?
[21:57] <faceface> I'll leave before I start crying again ;-)
[21:57] <faceface> thanks again.
[21:57] <MrDudle> pfft lol
[21:58] <esac> anybody use ekiga ? it asks me if i want to use a STUN server. is there a port i should forward to avoid this ?
[21:58] <trigpin> Axle, in terminal sudo gparted , it pops up , on left side pick device , unmount , rigth click on it , format to nfts
[21:58] <MrDudle> Hillshum, probably
[21:58] <Azzmodan> Complaining about the level of support when you mess up something as easy as groupadd is cute
[21:58] <ad1> ﻿Azzmodan, thanks for help, it's working
[21:58] <peter77> hardcorelinux, ubuntu by far is close to replacing most of what I use windows for, its just unfortunate its less stable!
[21:58] <node357> sometimes it is hard to get an answer depending on who is or is not here
[21:58] <hardcorelinux> peter77, I just read about it in slashdot some release 7 I think, I didn't give it a try fearing lack of drivers
[21:58] <trigpin> Azzmodan,  thanks
[21:58] <Hillshum> I only have limited passwords
[21:58] <Azzmodan> ad1, no problem nmap is a pretty neat tool to do everything from network scans to ping scans, to detecting what os is running on what
[21:59] <Axle> trigpin: the NTFS option is greyed out
[21:59] <Axle> in gparted
[21:59] <hardcorelinux> peter77, you could go back to Gutsy :D
[22:00] <pryorda> nvidia legaxy is pita to get working
[22:00] <Hillshum> MrDudle: how do i set up a printer on the win?
[22:00] <MrDudle> Hillshum, uhmm
[22:00] <peter77> hardcorelinux, might do, although gutsy froze on occassion it was rare
[22:00] <Azzmodan> Axle, can I suggest you create the NTFS partition in Windows?
[22:00] <MrDudle> well I don't know what kind of printer you have :P
[22:00] <matkix> Can anyone point me in the right direction... I'm looking to edit the ubuntu live cd, so when It boots I can have some things added to the desktop and run a shell script to mount some network drives... Anyone help?
[22:01] <trigpin> Axle, delet the partion first , then format it ( will delete all hard drive use with care ;) )

[22:01] <matkix> ActionParsnip: Not an option.

[22:04] <Azzmodan> yes, start aptitude

[22:05] <Azzmodan> mod_cure, use crontab

[22:06] <pretender_> does anyone now where i can find a guide for installing virtualdub with wine
[22:06] <pryorda> Azzmodan: tryed
[22:07] <Azzmodan> the nv driver didn't work?
[22:07] <pryorda> i need legacy

[22:07] <pryorda> this is a server

[22:07] <DasEi1>  Axle:why ntfs ?
[22:07] <peter77> hardcorelinux, may try gutsy kubuntu
[22:07] <Axle> because I want to use it on windows, too
[22:08] <Axle> it's going to be an external HD
[22:08] <nickrud> Walker, my typing sucks today:  libglib1.2-dev
[22:08] <Axle> but I don't have a case right now
[22:08] <pryorda> lol su ubottu
[22:08] <Axle> so I am using it as internel
[22:08] <Axle> everything recognizes NTFS
[22:08] <Axle> but windows does not recognize ext3
[22:08] <Paddy_EIRE> which version of enlightenment is in the ubuntu repos?
[22:08] <DasEi1> !who>Axle
[22:08] <DasEi1>  Axle:win easily reads ext3 with a little addon-prog
[22:09] <^paradox^> im running the printing troubleshooter. it says cups print spooler isnt running and directs me to services to look for cups
[22:09] <nickrud> Axle, install fs-driver.org driver
[22:09] <Azzmodan> pryorda, I recall using envy to install drivers for my old card when the ones in the repository where giving troubles, maybe use that?
[22:09] <Axle> DasEi1: right, but I can't go around fixing everyone's computers
[22:09] <pryorda> Azzmodan: i will try that
[22:09] <^paradox^> only Printer service (cupsys) is in that list tho
[22:09] <nickrud> ^paradox^, ps -A | grep cups , if you don't get it back run sudo /etc/init.d/cupsys start
[22:09] <Azzmodan> "envyng-core" is the package, then start envyng and it'll do it for you
[22:09] <Axle> DasEi1: I want to be able to use this hard drive as a portable external drive on anyone's computer
[22:10] <dsch04> Hrm, I appear to have lost my window borders
[22:10] <trigpin> Axle, why not fat ? also compatible with windows / linux
[22:10] <dsch04> (Hardy, 8.04.1)
[22:10] <Axle> NTFS > fat32
[22:10] <nickrud> Axle, take along hardy on a usb stick then :)
[22:10] <pryorda> Azzmodan: glx-legacy-envy
[22:10] <dsch04> Any suggestions how I can get them back?
[22:10] <maniheer> dsch04, Alt+F2 and type Metacity
[22:10] <pryorda> and in xorg.conf put nv or nvidia
[22:10] <Azzmodan> pryorda, no envyng-core, then start encyng and select nvidia legacy
[22:10] <nickrud> dsch04, or gtk-window-decorator if you're using compiz
[22:10] <DasEi1>  Axle:simply take et2fs-prog with you, ntfs is no good for linux, though it works
[22:11] <Axle> trigpin: Fat32 allows up to 40 GB...this is a 750 GB hard drive
[22:11] <Azzmodan> ntfs is fine for linux
[22:11] <Azzmodan> fat32 does allow bigger drivers when made outside of windows, that's a artificial limitation
[22:11] <dsch04> gtk-window-decorator didn't work
[22:11] <DasEi1>  Azzmodan : crashjed sys ?defragmentation ? journal ?  oo
[22:11] <nickrud> dsch04, hm,  gtk-window-decorator --replace (I'm rusty)
[22:11] <ejer> ntfs on linux is more stable than ext3 on windows unfortunately
[22:12] <Azzmodan> DasEi1, what?
[22:12] <maniheer> ejer, LOL
[22:12] <pryorda> Azzmodan: i wish i new about envy two hours ago
[22:12] <pryorda> :)
[22:12] <trigpin> Axle, oh i see , you need to dowload gparted iso cd
[22:12] <DasEi1>  Axle:if you absolut want to, can use gparted live cd
[22:12] <DasEi1>  Azzmodan : crashjed sys ?defragmentation ? journal ?  >ntfs in linux
[22:12] <pryorda> grup support ufs2 by default?
[22:12] <dsch04> Bingo!
[22:12] <dsch04> nickrud: Thx
[22:12] <trigpin> Axle, here you go http://gparted-livecd.tuxfamily.org/
[22:12] <pryorda> grub**
[22:13] <Hillshum> windows will only format fat32 to 40gb or so, but other formatter will go all the way
[22:13] <Walker> nickrud: can u give me the command to install this libglib-1.2-dev plz
[22:13] <Paddy_EIRE> Axle: wait
[22:13] <Azzmodan> DasEi1, I have no idea what you're trying to say I don't speak in symbols
[22:13] <dsch04> Am I likely to have to change something to make them permanent?
[22:13] <nickrud> Walker, sorry, that was a typo, you must not have seen the correction.  sudo apt-get install libglib1.2-dev
[22:13] <maniheer> walker, sudo apt-get install libglib1.2-dev
[22:13] <nickrud> dsch04, not in my experience
[22:13] <maniheer> damn too late
[22:13] <Walker> thanks !
[22:13] <gameleira> boa noite
[22:14] <pryorda> Azzmodan: what do I add to xorg.conf
[22:14] <pryorda> ?
[22:14]  * nickrud smacks maniheer for trying to steal his help ;p
[22:14] <DasEi1>  Azzmodan :how to fix  crashed filesystem  ? what 'bou defragmentation ? has it a journal ?  >ntfs in linux
[22:14] <Paddy_EIRE> Axle: http://www.sysresccd.org/Main_Page  this will be more worth your while and bandwidth
[22:14] <dsch04> Ok, thx
[22:14] <maniheer> nickrud, LOOL
[22:14] <Azzmodan> DasEi1, you defragment it the same way you do ext3.
[22:15] <Azzmodan> DasEi1, you'll also run into the same trouble when using ext3 outside of linux and it's a lot easier to find a machine supporting ntfs then one supporting ext3
[22:15] <Paddy_EIRE> Azzmodan: you do not defragment ext3 Azzmodan
[22:15] <DasEi1>  Azzmodan:ext 3 is developed to not defrag/need to be defragged
[22:15] <Azzmodan> So is NTFS
[22:15] <Paddy_EIRE> ntfs is not journalised and it sucks
[22:16] <sileni> hey guys i installed ubuntu yesterday night and it went very smooth then i did updates and shutdown.. when i started this morning the computer hanged at bootup so i force power off and started again and it went smooth
[22:16] <DasEi1>  Azzmodan:there is a simple small prog for win to have full acces of lin partis
[22:16] <^paradox^> ok anyone know how to get the ip address of a windows vista home pc
[22:16] <^paradox^> ?
[22:16] <sileni> i had to go so i come back from univ and it still boot up smooth but i would like to make sure nothing is wrong
[22:16] <sileni> how would i go about checking what the problem was
[22:16] <Hillshum> whatismyipaddress.com
[22:16] <pryorda> paradox
[22:16] <ejer> ext3 does get fragged, just has no online defragger
[22:16] <^paradox^> and this is ubuntu related
[22:16] <Walker> i have almost same problem
[22:16] <Walker> configure: error: *** GTK+ >= 1.2.2 not installed - please install first ***
[22:16] <Azzmodan> ntfs is most definitely journaled, there's also a reason they're making a defragger for ext4
[22:16] <sileni> also when i boot up there was some messages about not enough memory... but it went by fast so i couldnt read it
[22:16] <DasEi1> ^paradox^: on win>networkconnections>status>support
[22:16] <Azzmodan> pryorda, driver "nvidia"?
[22:16] <amenado> sileni you'd never find out, one event happens
[22:17] <pryorda> start -> acessories -> command
[22:17] <Walker> nickrud: can u help me plz again ? )
[22:17] <pryorda> then ipconfig
[22:17] <maniheer> Walker, sudo apt-get install gtk1.2.2
[22:17] <^paradox^> thnx
[22:17] <maniheer> i think
[22:17] <sileni> amenado: is there any log files that you guys can look at to see if there is something wrong with computer?
[22:17] <pryorda> ^paradox^: let me know if that works
[22:17] <amenado> sileni-> none, you'll never find it
[22:17] <pryorda> if it doesnt i iwll explain the hard way
[22:17] <ejer> sileni: type dmesg in terminal
[22:18] <DasEi1>  amenado: sileni: /var/log/syslog and kernellog and xorg.conf.0.log
[22:18] <Walker> E: Íå óäàëîñü íàéòè ïàêåò gtk1.2.2
[22:18] <nickrud> Walker, libgtk1.2-dev :)
[22:18] <Walker> unable to find
[22:18] <Walker> aah
[22:18] <maniheer> yh that too
[22:18] <sileni> DasEi1: , if i pastebin those can you please take a few minutes to look over it
[22:18] <amenado> DasEi1-> one time event? good luck if you can even find logs on those
[22:19] <Walker> sudo apt-get install libgtk1.2-dev
[22:19] <Walker> am i right ?
[22:19] <maniheer> yep
[22:19] <ejer> Walker: why not just use the search in synaptic
[22:19]  * maniheer 's turn to smack nickrud
[22:19] <belkinhelp2> how do I force Firefox to close?
[22:19] <sileni> ps kill
[22:19] <nickrud> Walker, a good rule of thumb: add lib to the front of the lib, and then (for example):   apt-cache search libgtk | grep dev
[22:19] <belkinhelp2> what is the terminal command
[22:19] <Azzmodan> killall -9 firefox
[22:19] <peter77> xkill
[22:19] <DasEi1> amendo: what error occured ?
[22:19] <linxeh> Azzmodan: never do that
[22:19] <DasEi1> sileni: shure
[22:19] <Paddy_EIRE> belkinhelp2: killall firefox-bin
[22:19] <nickrud> Walker, finds 90% of the stuff you need for compiling
[22:19] <ejer> belkinhelp2: applications>accessories>terminal
[22:20] <sileni> DasEi1:  than kyou very much i go do dmesg first
[22:20] <Azzmodan> linxeh, why not?
[22:20] <amenado> DasEi1-> thats the point, no one will be able to find out
[22:20] <DasEi1> amendo: eehm, we're tracking an unknown error? oh...
[22:20] <belkinhelp2>  killall firefox-bin....worked like a charm.   Had clicked on a link that was fake...tried to get me to download an active X...i was in a loop
[22:20] <sileni> DasEi1: this is the dmesg http://pastebin.com/m4ac863d2
[22:20] <belkinhelp2> and couldnt even close the browser.
[22:21] <sileni> can you please scan and see if you find any errors im not that computer savy :(
[22:21] <linxeh> Azzmodan: it doesnt give the application chance to respond to the kill signal properly. you should send it a couple sensible signals first, if it still doesnt quit then consider -9 as a last resort
[22:21] <Paddy_EIRE> belkinhelp2: yeah annoying
[22:21] <amenado> sileni-> you are wasting your time, listen, you'll never find it
[22:21] <nickrud> belkinhelp2, ooh, this is a test of your reflexes: move the download box close to the close button for the tab, then see if you can click click real fast :)
[22:21] <Paddy_EIRE> keep that one in the notebook
[22:21] <Azzmodan> linxeh, that is what he asked, how do i "force" firefox to close
[22:21] <belkinhelp2> nickrud....already tried that...im too slow
[22:21] <ejer> looks fine sileni
[22:22] <belkinhelp2> how would i force quit just one tab in firefox?
[22:22] <Azzmodan> You can't
[22:22] <Paddy_EIRE> ha
[22:22] <sileni> amenado, right now im not just trying to find what went wrong in that single event... i want to make sure nothing is wrong
[22:22] <nickrud> belkinhelp2, that would be nice to have
[22:22] <sileni> ejer: ok thank you is there any other logs we should look at to make sure ?
[22:22] <Paddy_EIRE> belkinhelp2: not possible just yet...
[22:22] <linxeh> Azzmodan: sigh - I very much doubt he really meant to give a -9 signal though... not when graceful kills normally work
[22:22] <ejer> no sileni not unless you have an error to track down
[22:22] <linxeh> Azzmodan: but ok :-)
[22:22] <^paradox^> i have a dialog
[22:23] <ejer> if you just click the close button on a frozen window gnome will prompt you to kill it
[22:23] <Stargazer> HELP: midbrowser isn't working anymore; "Could not find compatible GRE between version 1.9.0.1 and 1.9.0.1."
[22:23] <^paradox^> network connection details
[22:23] <nickrud> sometimes is just fun to use a big hammer. It's only software
[22:23] <Azzmodan> linxeh, yeah I realized that and I'll make sure to advice people to try it without -9 first in the future
[22:23] <sileni> ejer: i have this one worry before that ubuntu splash comes up it said something about kernel and dni_string or something like that sort
[22:23] <sileni> what log should i look at for that
[22:23] <NEKU> my irc keeps changing channels
[22:23] <linxeh> Azzmodan: I'm just sick of clearing up after people at work that -9 their processes and end up with corrupted data everywhere :)
[22:23] <NEKU> christ
[22:23] <DasEi1> sileni: seems like a irq-related problem, new pci installed ? new device ?
[22:23] <ejer> sileni: unless something is wrong assume stuff is working? the messages at boot are normal
[22:23] <belkinhelp2> odd, but why would somone spam porn on  a morgellons AFM photo page?
[22:23] <^paradox^> IPv4 IP Address that would be her PCs ip address?
[22:24] <NEKU> and i cant add any can someone give me a link to the geek issues one lol

[22:38] <^paradox^> im browsing
[22:38] <hubuntu> ANYONE: I cannot see some applications in Add/Remove, although multiverse and universe are checked in Software Sources. Help?

[22:40] <barrar76> ﻿i followed this page and ......find /boot/grub/stage1........gave hd0,4 and i did... root hd0,4 and setup and quit and reboot and did not work
[22:40] <trigpin> lima, great to hear , there is a new version of ubuntu called 8.04 hardy you should update

[22:41] <bite_code> anyone here managed to get freenx-server running on hardy i cant get it to accept my ssh credentials even though when i log in via ssh the same user/pass works
[22:41] <DasEi1> Jabba112:sounds little strange, in terminal do: sudo chown <username>  <ati-file>
[22:41] <thht> hubuntu: select "all available packages" / if that doesnt work use synaptic package manager / as a last resort: use terminal application "aptitude"
[22:41] <balrog> labview 7.1 keeps segfaulting on 7.10.  is there something i can do or something?
[22:41] <^paradox^> correct me if im wrong, but smb browser im assuming i want to select rac4006 which is her computer
[22:41] <Azzmodan> bite_code, I seem to recall freenx using it's own type of authentication
[22:41] <lima> trigpin :I'm not able to consequecia on the problem I am facing
[22:41] <^paradox^> under workgroup
[22:41] <DasEi1> Jabba112:with that you set the owner of a file to username
[22:42] <trigpin> lima, great to hear , what is the problem you are facing ?
[22:42] <bite_code> Azzmodan it has its own keys for inital handshaking via the nx user but then uses a normal account on the server
[22:42] <nickrud> subsume, don't have postfix installed here, but iirc it's /etc/postfix/main.cf
[22:43] <hubuntu> thht: thanks - i would really like to be able to do it in add/remove
[22:43] <pieinsky> just wondering if I can back up my current gtk theme to a separate location. it's not located in /usr/share/themes and I don't have the original tarball
[22:43] <hubuntu> i'll see in synaptic
[22:43] <sileni> DasEi1: i really appreciate your patience and i have found the thing that was bothering me it says http://pastebin.com/d61e0b15f
[22:43] <subsume> nickrud: myhostname is mail2.easilyamusedinc.com
[22:43] <Azzmodan> bite_code, I'm sure I had to do nxserver --adduser long ago
[22:43] <nickrud> pieinsky, it's probably in ~/.themes
[22:43] <^paradox^> ok i selected the printer under rac4006-pc her computer
[22:43] <sileni> DasEi1: im really sorry i just want to make sure that nothing goes wrong with this computer :(
[22:44] <bite_code> Azzmodan it now uses pam but i will try that old hack may work
[22:44] <pieinsky> I am incredibly dense, thank you nickrud

[22:44] <Cheery> I have a high-end computer and firefox still feels slow
[22:44] <Cheery> damn web sucks
[22:44] <hubuntu> thht: and yes, "all available applications" is checked. I hav just went back to gutsy, so I would assume the APT addreses have changed, what do you think?
[22:44] <sileni> Cheery: i know what you mean... i just got this 5 gb ram quad comp and firefox still runs slow for some reason
[22:44] <^paradox^> i clicked verify to which it replies this print share is accessible
[22:44] <DasEi1> sileni: how much ram do u use ?das ur graphics share ram ?
[22:44] <sileni> i have 5gb ram
[22:44] <pretender_> Can anyone point me to a LIVES deb package for Gutsy.
[22:45] <sileni> i dont know if my graphics shares ram
[22:45] <sileni> thats not enough ram for linux?
[22:45] <DasEi1> sileni: open a terminal...
[22:45] <sileni> i have it opened
[22:45] <xomp> wish there was a daemon-tools like program for mounting iso's in ubuntu. Having to "sudo mount -o loop /path/file.iso /path/mount" is a bit annoying at times :S
[22:45] <barrar76> anybody .error 17.grub.!
[22:45] <wep> hello
[22:45] <DasEi1> sileni: sudo apt-get install hwinfo
[22:45] <Cheery> sileni: I'd have 8GB ram with quad comp as well if all the mem arrived would have been functional
[22:45] <thht> hubuntu: have you tried synaptic?
[22:45] <barrar76> ﻿anybody .error 17.grub.!
[22:46] <hubuntu> thht: OH. synaptic actually sees the software. Weird. Why doesn't add/remove?
[22:46] <DasEi1> barrar76: very sinple it is also to use supergrub-cd (goole) to restore mbr
[22:46] <DasEi1> simple
[22:46] <Cheery> hmm, I wonder whether apple owns the patent for flat low-profile buttons
[22:46] <^paradox^> now i come to a dialog where i must select a ppd file. unsure whether to use one from the database or try to find one on the driver cd that came with her printer?
[22:46] <wep> can someone help me get wireless working using the ubuntu livecd?
[22:46] <Cheery> these keyboards are really comfy to use
[22:46] <thht> hubuntu: i think because add/remove is for easy install/uninstall
[22:46] <DasEi1> sileni: sudo apt-get install pastebinit
[22:47] <Cheery> hmm. though the layout feels nice once I've gotten used to it
[22:47] <thht> hubuntu: synaptic and others are more sophisticated
[22:47] <Cheery> small enter causes less trouble than I thought
[22:47] <barrar76> thats how i did it and it work to make grub work but only windows boot
[22:47] <hubuntu> thht: i know that, but it worked until recently.
[22:47] <sileni> DasEi1: i did both
[22:47] <DasEi1> sileni:sudo  hwinfo>hwi.txt  && pastebinit hwi.txt && rm hwi.txt
[22:47] <barrar76> i need to boot ubuntu
[22:47] <balrog> anybody know anything about installing labview 7.1?
[22:47] <DasEi1> sileni:put resulting url here
[22:48] <barrar76> from grub
[22:48] <DasEi1> sileni: put resulting url here
[22:48] <sileni> i pasted the last command in terminal and it just sitting there
[22:48] <sileni> http://pastebin.com/f2e322d76
[22:48] <sileni> wow
[22:48] <lima> trigpin -I will pass my problem on a site
[22:48] <sileni> that is a neat trick i have to learn that
[22:48] <^paradox^> um i can look on the driver cd for this ppd file but i have no clue as to what im looking for. i mean is there a certain file extension or something to look for
[22:49] <hubuntu> thht: my apologies, me dumb. "all available applications" was not checked
[22:49] <Ayabara> I want to remove a repo from my sources.list. how can I make sure all packages from that repo are uninstalled?
[22:49] <barrar76> i love ubuntu , need to make it work again!
[22:49] <hubuntu> thht: now checked, it works.
[22:49] <thht> hubuntu: no problem. have fun :-)

[23:14] <DasEi1> sileni: so you use onboard graphics then, at reboot go in bios and try to find out, if graphics share system-ram and limit to 256mb max
[23:14] <sileni> kebomix:  i  think you can monitor that by going System>>Administration>>Systemmonitor
[23:14] <Slart> Lunar_Lamp: if you really want to record it I guess there ought to be a way.. not sure if there is an easy way though
[23:14] <pen> Lunar_Lamp, I remember there is an addon for skype to record that

[23:15] <Lunar_Lamp> Ziggyzxxyl: dammnit :-( ;-p
[23:15] <st3ph> ty Paddy_EIRE  i look in google too, but they mostly have a soundcard
[23:15] <DasEi1> sileni:  at reboot go in bios and try to find out, if graphics share system-ram and limit to 256mb max
[23:15] <pen> anyone using gnome-do?
[23:16] <andy_> DEViUS: its all of our own backs, we dont get paid to help. so we can leave as we feel free
[23:16] <sileni> ok i will go check that out now
[23:16] <Paddy_EIRE> st3ph: yeah thats what I keep noticing
[23:16] <Lunar_Lamp> Paddy_EIRE: that's voice calls, not video.
[23:16] <andy_> DEViUS: i could even join and just sit in chat
[23:16] <kebomix> back
[23:16] <Paddy_EIRE> Lunar_Lamp: google for "record skype video"
[23:16] <IntuitiveNipple> kebomix: cat cat /proc/swaps
[23:16] <DEViUS> andy_:  you are still talkin' about that, forget that, its over, no biggie
[23:17] <kebomix> wut is that ?
[23:17] <cars__> DEViUS: But there are so many people here that there will likely be someone here to help you shortly after someone leaves.
[23:17] <mcquaid> i have im-sensors and the gnome applet working fine.  but can i get those values outside gnome?  /proc/acpi... temp doesn't report correct value
[23:17] <andy_> DEViUS: its not a job. if i have other stuff to do then im gonna do that if its important
[23:17] <IntuitiveNipple> kebomix: or even cat /proc/swaps
[23:17] <Lunar_Lamp> Paddy_EIRE: I have done that already, with no answers yet :-p
[23:17] <Lunar_Lamp> Which is why I asked in here :-)
[23:17] <IntuitiveNipple> kebomix: How to check the current swap partitions in use
[23:17] <andy_> DEViUS: i just want you to understand
[23:17] <Paddy_EIRE> Lunar_Lamp: ok.. gimmie a sec
[23:17] <andy_> DEViUS: cool you got your other stuff sorted
[23:17] <DEViUS> andy_: nah its cool
[23:17] <kebomix> ok
[23:18] <carandraug> kebomix: you have too Linux partitions, one windows and one swap? Is the other supposed to be mounted somewhere? Because only one is being used
[23:18] <IntuitiveNipple> Is that the Turnip?
[23:18] <Lunar_Lamp> Paddy_EIRE: the only ways I can see are to do a screen-record of the entire desktop.
[23:18] <carandraug> kebomix: sorry, I meant "two Linux partitions"
[23:18] <bobertdos> DEViUS: libflashsupport is only necessary for Pulse support in 9, 10 does it by itself, so no you would not need it
[23:18] <therproject> does an interface need to be defined in /etc/network/interfaces before ifconfig can bring it up?
[23:18] <mecha> !aim
[23:18] <kebomix> yeah , i have two linux partitions
[23:18] <kebomix> and 1 swap
[23:18] <DEViUS> bobertdos: thanks a lot
[23:18] <mecha> !kopete
[23:18] <snova> mcquaid: what are you trying to do? get temperature information?
[23:18] <DEViUS> andy_:  what else do you think deserves some attention that could possibly help my system
[23:18] <Paddy_EIRE> Lunar_Lamp: yeah I seen that
[23:18] <kebomix> plz send me website that i paste commands on it again
[23:19] <Ilja> I have a Ubuntu server without a xServer and i want to host a bf2142 demo server but there isnt a linux version for that how can i do this?
[23:19] <carandraug> !pastebin | kebomix
[23:19] <wep> Paddy_EIRE: i found a wireless-related error in the logs...
[23:19] <carandraug> kebomix: where do you want to mount sda7 ?
[23:19] <mecha> anyone know a sllek looking aim client for ubuntu besides pidgin or kopete?
[23:19] <mecha> sleek*
[23:19] <wep> Paddy_EIRE: i think the problem might be with the soft-switch..
[23:19] <kebomix> wut sda7 ?
[23:20] <wep> Paddy_EIRE: are there any applications to toggle wireless on/off?
[23:20] <Paddy_EIRE> wep: have you done lspci
[23:20] <kebomix> http://paste.ubuntu.com/51070/
[23:20] <mcquaid> snova, yes without using the sensors applet, outside gnome
[23:20] <Paddy_EIRE> wep: and ifconfig
[23:20] <carandraug> kebomix: the other Linux partition that you have
[23:20] <cars__> ubottu's information is lacking YIM support for Pidgin, even though it has support.
[23:20] <IntuitiveNipple> kebomix: cat /proc/swaps
[23:20] <kebomix> sry my laptop rebooted because fan speed is slow in ubuntu and temprature is high always , that wasnt in windows do u have solution for that ?
[23:20] <Paddy_EIRE> wep: also what is the laptop model?
[23:21] <IntuitiveNipple> kebomix: You had too many cats :)
[23:21] <portablejim> Is there a way to favor repo X over repo y, but sometimes repo x may not be available, so get it from repo y?
[23:21] <wep> Paddy_EIRE: lspci shows the Atheros AR242x chipset..
[23:21] <snova> mcquaid: the 'acpi' command does that. add the -t option to make it print temperature info instead of just battery/ac. if the values look wrong, that's because it uses celsius by default. add '-f' to get farenheit.
[23:21] <kebomix> yeah , help me with fan now plz , my laptop reboot always
[23:21] <DEViUS> bobertdos: the flash plugin in the ubuntu packages is not 10 it is "9"
[23:21] <wep> Paddy_EIRE: it's a toshiba u305
[23:21] <kebomix> the fan speed is low in ubuntu
[23:21] <st3ph> Paddy_EIRE  could that be useful? Bus 003 Device 003: ID 0d8c:000c C-Media Electronics, Inc. Audio Adapter?
[23:21] <kebomix> it is 3434 !!!!
[23:21] <Paddy_EIRE> st3ph: possibly.. I will check that out
[23:21] <kebomix> too low , how to increase it !
[23:22] <st3ph> ty Paddy_EIRE
[23:22] <snova> kebomix: if you're running a dell, there's a package to manipulate it manually - i8kutils
[23:22] <`101gfx> Hey all, I've booted into 8.04 from a livecd so I could remove an HD install of 8.04. I've removed all the partitions but when I go into install it still shows "Ubuntu 8.04" as taking up 24% of the disk
[23:22] <mcquaid> snova, no acpi -t reports the wrong one. it's constantly 40.
[23:22] <kebomix> im using IBM thinkpad R52
[23:22] <Vivvy> I have enabled nvidia drivers and now my login screen is bigger than the display area.  The password box is at the bottom of the screen.  When I log in, the resolution is 1280x1024.  How do I fix the login resolution?
[23:22] <DEViUS> andy_:  what else do you think deserves some attention that could possibly help my system
[23:22] <Paddy_EIRE> wep: look at the notes at the bottom http://www.linlap.com/wiki/Toshiba+Satellite+U300-U305
[23:22] <carandraug> kebomix: where is the other Linux partition that you have supposed to be mounted?
[23:23] <Paddy_EIRE> wep: seems you need to use ndiswrapper
[23:23] <`101gfx> I think the problem is that I have to edit the GRUB file, but I can't access it from the livecd?
[23:23] <snova> mcquaid: that sounds about right. 104 degrees: it's in celsius until you add '-t', so run 'acpi -tf' instead.
[23:23] <kebomix> it is 1400 gb space that is swap
[23:23] <kebomix> sry
[23:23] <andy_> DEViUS: you could install nspluginnwrapper, then nspluginwrapper -i <path/to/libflashplugin.so>
[23:23] <mcquaid> snabel6k, cat /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THRM/temperature also always reports 40.  i ran lm-sensors and it set up the other sensors correctly.  there is two for cpu one just reports 40 the other is accurate
[23:23] <kebomix> 1400mb
[23:23] <eido> is there a way to stack windows vertically or horizontally so they are half the screen?  in windows you can click on a window hold the shift key and right click on the second window and choose it to stack vertically or horizontally and the two windows will be half the size of the desktop... does this make sense?
[23:23] <wep> Paddy_EIRE: is that included on the livecd?
[23:23] <carandraug> `101gfx: you can. Search in /media/something_here/boot/grub/menu.lst
[23:24] <DEViUS> andy_:  what does this do?
[23:24] <snova> mcquaid: unless the problem is that you know it should be much higher? because then you're having a problem with ACPI, and i don't know what to do about that.
[23:24] <eido> + hold the ctrl key rather
[23:24] <paranoid_android> Guys, can anyone help with setting up network on a server. I am getting "No DHCPOFFERS received" when trying to restart networking
[23:24] <tyberion> hmm is there any command like cat.. to view a file consequently with its changes... ?! but changes in whole file.. not only in the end like tail -f does............ tahnkies
[23:24] <mcquaid> snova, no it's not right.  it always reports 40.  it never fluctuates. After gaming or whatever, always 40.  so I installed lmsenors and now I have additional sensors that work with sensors applet.  I want to read those values
[23:24] <IntuitiveNipple> tyberion: diff
[23:24] <kebomix> i see from command u sent me "cat cat /proc/swap" that there is no swap on my ubuntu  as i created partition for it
[23:24] <DEViUS> bobertdos: the flash plugin in the ubuntu packages is not 10 it is "9"
[23:24] <carandraug> kebomix: I want to know where do you want that partition to appear. In /media/something? Is it /home/ ? Something else?
[23:24] <Paddy_EIRE> wep: have you got hardy (8.04)
[23:25] <mcquaid> i'm just saying the value that cat /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THRM/temperature and acpi -t always report 40.  it's not reading any sensor
[23:25] <carandraug> kebomix: that command is actually "cat /proc/swap"
[23:25] <andy_> kebomix: add it to /etc/fstab
[23:25] <snova> mcquaid: oh, sorry. i didn't see that. well, that IS weird.
[23:25] <tyberion> IntuitiveNipple: that compares 2 files doesnt it?
[23:25] <Paddy_EIRE> st3ph: I know this mentions firefox and youtube a lot but could you look and see if anything here is helpful http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=599306
[23:25] <IntuitiveNipple> kebomix: use "sudo swapon /dev/sdaX" where sdaX is the disk and partition number of the swap partition
[23:25] <mcquaid> but whatever modules im-sensors loaded are reading additional sensors, one of them reporting the correct cpu temp
[23:25] <tyberion> IntuitiveNipple: what would be the command to view a certain file?
[23:25] <snova> paranoid_android: it means it can't get an ip address.
[23:25] <IntuitiveNipple> tyberion: You said you wanted to see changes in a whole file
[23:26] <kingtekrin> how do i stop the motion program?
[23:26] <mcquaid> sensors applets displays them fine.  just wanted a way outside of the sensors applet to read those values
[23:26] <Martiini> Id like to ask for an option to bookmark posts @ ubuntuforums.org
[23:26] <tyberion> IntuitiveNipple: yeah, but consequently, not upon running...
[23:26] <Paddy_EIRE> wep: you will need to download the windows driver though described in that link I gave you
[23:26] <st3ph> ty Paddy_EIRE
[23:26] <mcquaid> the sensor applet also displays the dead 40 one.  but i just unchecked that...
[23:26] <IntuitiveNipple> tyberion: I don't understand what you're trying to do
[23:26] <snova> mcquaid: i have no idea. if lmsensors works with some kind of library, you might look into that, i guess.
[23:27] <tyberion> well I got a file and I just want it to have displayed in a term, and automatically reloaded if it changes..
[23:27] <carandraug> kebomix: I've your fstab written already. I just need to know where you want the other partition to appear
[23:27] <kingtekrin> all: does anyone know how to stop the program MOTION O_O It's spying on me and i have no idea how to stop it lol...or control it
[23:27] <paranoid_android> snova: can i PM you ?
[23:27] <kris_> Hi, anyone in here run game servers on ubuntu?
[23:27] <snova> paranoid_android: you could, but i doubt i'd be much help. plus my lag is awful.
[23:28] <DEViUS> andy_:  what does this do?
[23:28] <kebomix> in / home
[23:28] <kingtekrin> mine says .1 s lag
[23:28] <kingtekrin> O_O
[23:28] <Shak-> i've been getting alot of hard kernel panics lately, they just seem to popup randomly and I'm not sure I can discern why from the logs.. anyone got some pointers?
[23:28] <cars__> !kopete > cars__
[23:29] <pryorda> clear
[23:29] <pryorda> ls
[23:29] <pryorda> lol
[23:29] <IntuitiveNipple> tyberion: I've never seen or used a tool like that, especially in a terminal. If it's read-only you could use "watch -n X less <file>" I guess
[23:29] <kingtekrin> eeeeep
[23:29] <carandraug> kebomix: you're sure of that? Can you give me the output of "df -h"
[23:29] <kebomix> back
[23:29] <tyberion> IntuitiveNipple: thank you very much=)
[23:29] <kingtekrin> srsly...does anyone know how to stop the program motion?
[23:29] <kingtekrin> or at least control it
[23:30] <wep> Paddy_EIRE: what's the root password on livecds? i can't modprobe
[23:30] <carandraug> wep: there's no root password
[23:30] <eido> ok I guess I am looking for tile or whaw to tile windows vertically or horizontally... has this function been incorporated by default in 8.04?  or do I need to add these programs?
[23:30] <st3ph> Paddy_EIRE  can i pastebin u the conf output?
[23:30] <kebomix> http://paste.ubuntu.com/51072/
[23:30] <portablejim> kingtekrin, type into terminal "ps -Al | grep MOTION" to display the process number, then type "sudo kill <process number>"
[23:30] <wep> why would modprobe say "operation not permitted"?
[23:30] <ahtmly2k> WHAT'S the difference between Ubuntu desktop edition and the server edition?
[23:30] <kebomix> i dont know much about linux , sry  ijust used it 6 days ago
[23:30] <kingtekrin> sweet thanks
[23:30] <IntuitiveNipple> tyberion: If you just want to know if a file changes you could use the inotify tools to put a watch on the file
[23:30] <snova> wep: because only root can insert modules. run it with sudo
[23:31] <st3ph> !paste
[23:31] <snova> ahtmly2k: the packages that are installed.
[23:31] <ahtmly2k> but all packages are available for download no?
[23:31] <mcquaid> snova, heh it's just sensors to get the values
[23:31] <ahtmly2k> so they're basically the same...?
[23:31] <eido> noone tiles windows?
[23:32] <wep> ic
[23:32] <ahtmly2k> but is the server edition 32bit or 64bit?
[23:32] <wep> so is there a way to make sure my wireless chipset is turned on?
[23:32] <snova> ahtmly2k: yes. the difference is only the set that it installs by default for you. it's possible to go from one to the other, but it's said not to be easy.
[23:32] <wep> i need a way to flip the soft switch
[23:32] <carandraug> kebomix: run "gksudo gedit /etc/fstab" and switch that file for this http://paste.ubuntu.com/51075/
[23:32] <snova> ahtmly2k: or at least to have some snags.
[23:32] <sileni> DasEi1: hey
[23:33] <Paddy_EIRE> st3ph: if you could that would be great
[23:33] <sileni> DasEi1: i looked at bios and found this ...
[23:33] <st3ph> http://paste.ubuntu.com/51076/
[23:33] <st3ph> Paddy_EIRE ^^
[23:33] <Paddy_EIRE> st3ph: I am still digging and kind of wishing I had the hardware in front of me :)
[23:33] <Shak-> anyone? how do I start debugging why I keep getting kernel panics
[23:33] <ahtmly2k>  but is the server edition 32bit or 64bit? cuz its only available on one cd...
[23:33] <shawn123> i just installed xubuntu with hdtv and the dpi settings are all messed up, i tried multiple fixes online but the text is still way too small someone please help me
[23:33] <carandraug> kebomix: before that, maybe it's a good idea to backup it "sudo cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab.backup"
[23:33] <sileni> DasEi1: i went under advanced part of bios and found this Primary Video Adapter it is set to PCI --the options for that are things like onboard integrated
[23:33] <mjbrooks> ahtmly2k: the kernel for the server edition is compiled to handle network traffic more efficiently because it's target is as a server but converely it sacrifices things that are importent fir a workstation
[23:33] <st3ph> Paddy_EIRE  u can have my old pc lol :P
[23:33] <Paddy_EIRE> lol
[23:33] <lima> Good Nigth
[23:34] <sileni> DasEi1:  the onboard vieo memory size is 8mb that is the highest... or i can choose 1 mb
[23:34] <lima> Help!!!
[23:34] <lima> Please
[23:34] <sileni> DasEi1: i didnt know where to put 250 mb size
[23:34] <kingtekrin> l
[23:34] <danbh_intrepid> !debug | Shak-
[23:34] <kingtekrin> I
[23:34] <snova> ahtmly2k: what mjbrooks said, but i'll add that it's just another possible package. there are several kernels.
[23:34] <kebomix> i made it
[23:34] <portablejim> lima, what is your problem.
[23:34] <kebomix>  http://paste.ubuntu.com/51078/
[23:35] <ahtmly2k> ah okay then... i sort of get it... that means i'll just stick to the desktop 64bit... oh wait a minute, several kernels?
[23:35] <ahtmly2k> but the kernels get updated no?
[23:35] <wep> bleh
[23:35] <wep> i should just put vista back
[23:36] <danbh_intrepid> ahtmly2k: if you are new, you should go with the 32bit generic kernel, as a start
[23:36] <sdwrage> Hey guys, my database dissapeared recently and need to know what logs would hold errors if my databases got corrupt
[23:36] <Paddy_EIRE> st3ph: I am terribly sorry but I cant seem to make any progress with this.  I hope you keep trying and do not stress to much over it... :)
[23:36] <carandraug> kebomix: don't forget to save the file after changing it. Then reboot and it should be fixed
[23:36] <danbh_intrepid> ahtmly2k: 64bit has some gotchas that you will run into if you are running it on a desktop
[23:36] <case^> wep: yes you should
[23:36] <ech0dish> whats the best terminal irc client?
[23:36] <lima> portalblejim: 	Hello Friend, good night!I am a novice in the Linux world, Ubuntu 7.10 and I use to serious problem that I am not able resolve
[23:36] <ech0dish> i remember something called like llris
[23:36] <shawn123> i just installed xubuntu with hdtv and the dpi settings are all messed up, i tried multiple fixes online but the text is still way too small someone please help me
[23:37] <kebomix> here is pic from gparted before i reboot http://server6.theimagehosting.com/image.php?img=Screenshot.ed9.png
[23:37] <ahtmly2k> btw HOW do you update the kernel...? lets say like now, i'm using hardy heron and then in the future there's gonna be another version comin up... is it possible to just upgrade...?
[23:37] <lima> portalblejim: ?
[23:37] <kebomix> brb
[23:37] <snova> ahtmly2k: yes.
[23:37] <ahtmly2k> whts 'gotchas'?
[23:38] <carandraug> ech0dish: I've heard about "irssi"
[23:38] <ahtmly2k> so that means that i'd be able to update the OS version without reinstall right...?
[23:38] <portablejim> lima, please excuse me if you have already stated you problem in detail, but it is very hard to solve a problem without knowing details.
[23:38] <danbh_intrepid> ahtmly2k: flash is harder to get working, thats the only I know of, but I think there are others.
[23:38] <ryan__> How do you lengthen the time before the screensaver comes on?
[23:38] <ahtmly2k> ah ok
[23:38] <DasEi1> sileni: use the 8mb  (not gb ?!!) option, you got a HP-computer with integrated graphics and a very poor one; is it a laptop or a desk ?
[23:39] <ahtmly2k> like maybe that's why my compiz is all messed up
[23:39] <sileni> DasEi1:  this is a pc :(
[23:39] <sileni> DasEi1:  is it going to fail me ?
[23:39] <lima> portalbeljim: i am brazilian!
[23:39] <danbh_intrepid> ryan__: sys > prefs> screensavers
[23:39] <ahtmly2k> so does that mean ubuntu got a thing in common with vista? the 64bit versions are imperfect?
[23:40] <sdwrage> Hey guys, my database dissapeared recently and need to know what logs would hold errors if my databases got corrupt
[23:40] <mjbrooks> Yeah, the troubles with flash on 64bit makes it a non-starter for general desktop use
[23:40] <kebomix> back , how can i make sure that swap is used now ?
[23:40] <steve1234> hi I'm having a problem playing flash video for example http://vimeo.com/1742868 it plays really choppy and I turned off compiz
[23:40] <sileni> DasEi1: what should i do .. it said mb not gb...
[23:40] <sileni> DasEi1: and should i set it at PCI or integrated onboard
[23:40] <danbh_intrepid> ahtmly2k: yes, so I just go with 32 bit.  I see no reason for 64bit
[23:40] <sileni> DasEi1:  for the primary video adapter slot it said PCI ... and then i clicked on the options and it had integrated onboard
[23:41] <danbh_intrepid> sdwrage: did you look through /var/logs?
[23:41] <lima> portalblejin:Details my problem and cheat on the site: http://paste.ubuntu.com/51056/, you can see if you can understand?
[23:41] <mjbrooks> Ahtmly2k: the problem with flash on 64bit is an Adobe proprietary issue, NOT a Linux issue
[23:41] <IntuitiveNipple> mjbrooks: what trouble with Flash? hehehe
[23:41] <danbh_intrepid> lima: can you upgrade to 8.04?
[23:41] <legend2440> kebomix:  one way is to     in terminal type    free    it will show if any swap is being used
[23:42] <Gerinych> can you add a "boot cd" entry in GRUB?
[23:42] <portablejim> lima, thanks. I will look into your problem.
[23:42] <danbh_intrepid> Gerinych: no, you need to do that through your bios
[23:43] <ahtmly2k> okay, now i really dont get all the hype on 64bit processors... i thought we were migrating... and all the 'claimed' 64bit OS's are ready...
[23:43] <zespri> Hello, can some one tell me why ubuntu can see only two if my three ntfs disks in 'Places'?
[23:43] <zespri> I can mount the missing disk allright, I can even set it up in /etc/fstab and add to book makrks but it is not the same as the other two disk.
[23:43] <zespri> The other two disks are in 'Places' not in the bookmark section, they are absent in /etc/fstab and yet they are working. Is it possible to configure the third disk the same way?
[23:43] <kebomix> now is it used ?http://paste.ubuntu.com/51082/
[23:43] <Gerinych> danbh_intrepid: alright, then
[23:43] <ahtmly2k> oh man... does this mean that i hafta uninstall my 64bit and switch to 32?
[23:44] <lima> portablejim: Thanks buddy!
[23:44] <lima> I hope to find a solution
[23:44] <mjbrooks> ahtmly2k no
[23:44] <ahtmly2k> ?
[23:44] <carandraug> kebomix: yes. You're a proud owner of a mounted swap partition
[23:44] <steve1234> hi I'm having a problem playing flash video for example http://vimeo.com/1742868 it plays really choppy and I turned off compiz this laptop is a 1.6ghz
[23:44] <IntuitiveNipple> lima: As a test, you should create a new user on the system and try logging in to Gnome using that. If it works, it will isolate the problem to a configuration issue with the current user profile
[23:44] <carandraug> kebomix: also, the partition you said you wanted mounted at /home is being mounted at /media/disk
[23:45] <ech0dish> someone test out my new number, 8323495765 phreak at will
[23:45] <mjbrooks> ahtmly2k, 64 bit ubuntu is fine and 50x better than MSV
[23:45] <ahtmly2k> steve1234, maybe codec prob...? tried dat?
[23:45] <ech0dish> doing some security testing, go crazy
[23:45] <legend2440> kebomix: yes a portion of total allocated swap is being used
[23:45] <danbh_intrepid> mjbrooks: whats MSV?
[23:45] <ahtmly2k> hmn well at leasts it crashes less often
[23:45] <IntuitiveNipple> lima: Also, have you tried asking in #ubuntu-br (your native language channel I believe)
[23:46] <kebomix> is there is any one here who can help me to increase fan speed ?
[23:46] <ahtmly2k> MSV = that bubble wrapped logo OS
[23:46] <DasEi1> sileni:you can see at  back of your pc if you have onboard only or a pci/agp/pcle -card, too.......... if onl onboard then set it to onboard...desk or lappi ?
[23:46] <ahtmly2k> hihihi
[23:46] <steve1234> ahtmly2k: it is just using flash player from what I see

[23:48] <steve1234> ahtmly2k: ok
[23:48] <detrix_> danbh_intrepid:  I am not sure what to up in the iwconfig file
[23:49] <sileni> DasEi1: i dont know how to determine if it is only onboard..
[23:49] <danbh_intrepid> detrix_: well, iwconfig is a command, not a file...   Are you sure you cant stick with network-manager?
[23:49] <portablejim> lima, so another user can use the computer alright?
[23:49] <detrix_> I have d/l a rt2750 driver, and compiled it. just need to know what to put in the iwconfig file.
[23:49] <IntuitiveNipple> portablejim: Sounds like the ~/.gconf/apps/panel/applets/ settings are 'customised'
[23:49] <bodom> hello
[23:49] <ahtmly2k> steve1234, wht about other flv's... same prob?

[23:50] <lima> portalblejim:Yes friend with another user can use it normally

[23:51] <mjbrooks> Caioout: su <username>
[23:52] <steve1234> ahtmly2k: youtube seems ok

[23:53] <steve1234> ahtmly2k: preview it?
[23:53] <steve1234> ahtmly2k: it uses a flash player plugin i'm guessing
[23:53] <Scunizi> Ilja: yep.. just looked it up.. do they have a linux version of the server? if not check out the compatability of running it in wine at the wine site.
[23:53] <`101gfx> I just deleted my old Ubuntu 8.04 partition and resized my windows partition but when I try and bootup I get a grub error 22
[23:54] <lima> <portablejin:?
[23:55] <Ilja> yea there is a linux version for the retail game and i want to avoid using a gui because it is slowing my server down i think
[23:55] <Scunizi> Ilja: Battlefield 2 is on the "Silver list".. check it out here. http://appdb.winehq.org/
[23:55] <portablejim> lima, on the problem user, open up terminal and type "mv ~/.gconf ~/_.gconf"

[23:57] <ircbin> Hello! When I have Rhythmbox reproducing music, I can't hear youtube videos at the same time... Is it possible to fix it?
[23:57] <DasEi1> sileni: oo, after studying your hw, found : : PCI 02.0: 0300 VGA compatible controller (VGA)
[23:57] <danbh_intrepid> pretender_: maybe this will work for you? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/kdenlive
[23:58] <DasEi1> sileni: that means there are two graphic connectors at the back of your pc what you should be able to see
[23:58] <Ilja> ok thnx Scunizi

[23:59] <DasEi1> sileni: further on is pci right in bios and disable or set to lowest your onboard

[23:59] <steve1234> ahtmly2k: oh what is it
[23:59] <DasEi1> sileni:you might go to hp-homepagee to see if they offer a graphics driver for your model
[23:59] <ahtmly2k> steve1234, the clip
[23:59] <lima> portablejim:I can solve my problem?
