[00:04] <nxmehta> can anyone tell me why ubuntu by default has cron scripts to manually rotate syslog and auth.log files?  it's taken me forever to figure out why lograte wasn't rotating these files properly!

[00:04] <nxmehta> logrotate rather
[00:04] <beefybefay> what's the name of the compiz manager package?

[00:05] <truebosko> like cat foo | copy_to_clipboard
[00:05] <ompaul> evocallaghan1, usually if jrib asks you for more info it is because you need to give more info, jrib is in the top five most helpful people in this channel
[00:05] <beefybefay> !compiz
[00:05] <morth_> beefybefay you looking for it or just want the name?

[00:06] <deathtech> Hey guys, i have downloaded an application (Maniadrive) and it shows two files in the directory, start.sh and init.sh , i tried a sudo sh start.sh, but it only returns the error that it couldnt change to some directory, im doing it wrong! lol help ?
[00:06] <evocallaghan1> Well what info do you need. Gezz. Where is the PATH set on a default install of ubuntu. it uses bash so..
[00:06] <deathtech> i moved the file to opt/data where it requested, and when i run it , it works, but i feel like im doing it wrong....
[00:06] <eeenico> can anyone read me?
[00:07] <ikonia> deathtech: mandriva packaged software is not aimed at ubuntu platfors
[00:07] <ikonia> eeenico: sure
[00:07] <deathtech> is it mandriva based ?
[00:07] <eeenico> ok =)
[00:07] <deathtech> i c

[00:07] <deathtech> Maniadrive
[00:07] <jrib> evocallaghan1: default system-wide path is in /etc/environment.  If you want to change the PATH for your user however, use ~/.profile (which also modifies the PATH by default)
[00:07] <sqawerlz> does anyone know what the process xorg is?
[00:07] <ikonia> deathtech: yup, just saw my miss-read
[00:08] <ikonia> sqawerlz: x server
[00:08] <gabway> I installed Ubuntu plugged my USB wireless card, Ubuntu finds a driver and it try to connect but never get a connection.
[00:08] <ikonia> sqawerlz: your "windows"
[00:08] <w_nicram> how do I make qt user my gtk theme?
[00:08] <morth_> beefybefay You can install Compiz by using the Add/Remove Applications tab under Applications.
[00:08] <evocallaghan1> jrib:thank you
[00:08] <sqawerlz> ok thanks
[00:08] <deathtech> any idea on how to install / properly setup a game that comes with data files and a simple start.sh and init.sh
[00:08] <sqawerlz> how come it is listed as xorg rather than xwindows
[00:08] <sqawerlz> or xsession

[00:09] <Coleosis> Am I going to notice a huge hit in performance if I run ubuntu via virtual machine?
[00:09] <ikonia> Coleosis: depends on your machien spec and how hard you hit the vm
[00:10] <ikonia> Coleosis: and what you do in the vm
[00:10] <LjL> Coleosis: no, not really huge, as long as you give it enough RAM and don't use 3D effect
[00:10] <eeenico> is ubottu a bot?
[00:10] <jrib> eeenico: yep
[00:10] <LjL> !bot > eeenico    (eeenico, see the private message from Ubotu) quite so

[00:12] <Danskmand> Howdy :-) - I am installing my new server with ubuntu 8.04 Server on a single 20 Gig-HD....When configuring the HD, I am presented with the choice of how to configure it. I want to use LVM....2 questions: 1st: Do I first use the whole HD as 1 PV and then make the needed LV's, which I format as f.ex. ext3 ?  -2nd: Can my boot partition (/) be part of a LVM ?
[00:12] <shingen> kevin7kal: ahh, I've used gtsm before... it manages tunnels... it lacked the features I required (-D for socks-like proxies)... but it doesn't do the network proxy portion... I don't need a SSH manager... I actually need a super configurable proxy manager like tsocks, but works at a daemon level to redirect all traffic
[00:12] <shingen> does a more robust version of gnome network proxy manager exist, so that I can redirect traffic to different SOCKS proxies by domain name?  Or is that something that can only be done by iptables?
[00:12] <MetalHeadDead> whats a good network traffic monitor for ubuntu?
[00:12] <ikonia> Danskmand: if your using a single disk - lvm is not really needed, more so as you'll need a /boot
[00:13] <ikonia> Danskmand: lvm works better if you use the whole disk as a pv, but you can use partitions
[00:13] <JC_Denton_> MetalHeadDead: firestarter does some basic monitoring
[00:13] <blak> Why would you need a /boot, isn't that no longer necessary
[00:14] <Danskmand> ikonia: I know I wont really need LVM for a single disk, but I would like to because I might want to put more in later....
[00:14] <Mrfo> is there an easy way to send an existing process to the background. my XDMCP login froze up (but the processes are still running okay), and I'd like to send some of those running processes to the background so I can turn this remote machine off
[00:14] <ikonia> Danskmand: then configure lvm when you put more disks in later
[00:15] <Mrfo> i would ctrl-z it, but i can't access that shell anymore
[00:15] <deathtech> Hey guys, i have downloaded an application (Maniadrive) and it shows two files in the directory, start.sh and init.sh , i tried a sudo sh start.sh, but it only returns the error that it couldnt change to some directory, im doing it wrong! lol help ?
[00:15] <Coleosis> Anyone here running Ubuntu on a Macbook?
[00:15] <deathtech> i moved the file to opt/data where it requested, and when i run it , it works, but i feel like im doing it wrong....
[00:15] <Danskmand> ikonia: Oh, that can be done later ? - Make several ext3-partitions and put data on, and then later convert the whole thing to LVM ?
[00:16] <ikonia> Danskmand: can do, quite easy
[00:16] <blak> deathtech: if it is working, what might be wrong, is drive mania working now?
[00:16] <deathtech> i mean yeah, but i had to move it to opt/data , and i have to run using sudo
[00:17] <Danskmand> Ok....I dont think that was possible on the AIX machines back in the days (1998) when I learned LVM :-)
[00:17] <ryan__> Do you need a Firewall software when using Ubuntu?
[00:17] <blak> deathtech: i would say that is fine then
[00:17] <Danskmand> What filesystem would you use on ubuntu ?
[00:17] <Danskmand> Ikonia:
[00:17] <blak> deathtech: a lot of programs would require sudo to run, especially something that sounds like it does something with drives...?
[00:17] <deathtech> nah its a gme
[00:18] <deathtech> game **
[00:18] <blak> Danskmand: ext3
[00:18] <deathtech> blak Maniadrive
[00:18] <blak> oh
[00:18] <Danskmand> Ok...I aggree....Reiser is too unsecure how it will be in ther future....
[00:18] <blak> deathtech: does the game load now? with sudo?.. i guess just use sudo, not that big of a deal?
[00:19] <DigitalFiz> hey guys guess what!
[00:19] <losher> shingen: re: proxies, I think it depends on your requirements. Can you say more about what you're trying to do?
[00:19] <deathtech> nah not htat big of a deal, im a windows admin making the nix plunge and jsut testing the water, figured it shouldnt need restrictive access or me to move it to a specific directory to install, wanted to make sure i was doing it right
[00:19] <Aggrav8d> hi!  I'm looking for some info about a way to automate the creation/management of subdomains.  I'm looking for keywords I should be googling.  anyone got suggestions?
[00:20] <deathtech> just also i ahve downloaded a few programs and most of them ccome with data files, init.sh and start.sh , and considering i want to know procedure for installing these, or are they pre built and ready to run like this application
[00:20] <blak> deathtech: to install yes, to move depends no the chmod
[00:20] <dylian17> Hi people!! Greetings from Costa Rica
[00:20] <blak> no=on
[00:20] <Mrfo> i have a XDMCP remote login that froze up, but the processes are still running in the background. is there a way to restore that session without logging me out?
[00:21] <deathtech> so im not used to chmod so bear with me, its purpose is to grant permanent privledges ?
[00:21] <brylie> how do I tell the difference between PCI and PCI Express?
[00:21] <deathtech> basically ive been doing sudo sh start.sh, checking the directory errors and jsut moving it to where it wants to be
[00:21] <DigitalFiz> i like pizza
[00:21] <blak> deathtech: From my understanding a .sh is generally a script that if it does much of anything, will always need you to run it as root or (sudo)
[00:22] <blak> deathtech: you could cat the .sh first and you would know where it wants to be
[00:22] <blak> brylie: google pci express images
[00:23] <dylian17> Hi, I have problems with my keyboard using ubuntu, could somebody help me??
[00:23] <deathtech> blak : since im doing this manually will i also need to use CHmod then ?
[00:23] <blak> brylie: once you see the visual difference between the two you will definitely know, usually on the mobo it is labeled though.. near the slot
[00:23] <blak> !chmod
[00:24] <blak> deathtech: it would be useful to learn about it, chmod is really important to understand
[00:24] <deathtech> thank you blak and weird bot program that randomly chimes in
[00:24] <blak> ha
[00:24] <shingen> what's the ubuntu dev discussion channel?
[00:24] <shingen> ubuntu+1 ?
[00:24] <blak> !chown > deathtech
[00:25] <dylian17> When I try to use the "at" character on my keyboard pressing the ALT GR + Q or 2 the "at" char not appears
[00:25] <blak> that is also applicable
[00:25] <deathtech> thanks blak , im a hardcore windows user sincec the early days of dos (6.22 best thing to come outta ms) and i have apretty vast knowledge of things windows side, so its  abit frustrating to go from all knowing to complete newb
[00:25] <dylian17> Somebody has an idea about it?
[00:25] <shingen> !offtopic > shingen
[00:25] <morth_> Has anyone read the Ubuntu Linux Bible Written by William von Hagen?
[00:25] <shingen> thanks ubottu :P
[00:25] <losher> shingen: no, ubuntu+1 is for Intrepid discussion (the next Ubuntu release)
[00:25] <blak> deathtech: yea i know how that is, enjoy the ride with *nix
[00:26] <shingen> losher: well, I'd like to ask for ufw features :)
[00:26] <deathtech> in case anyone else is interested in chmod, here is a great article i just found : http://www.defcon1.org/html/Software_Articles/Learning-CHMOD/learning-chmod.html
[00:27] <losher> shingen: can't hurt to ask them I suppose. Are you still needing proxy help?
[00:27] <morth_> n Every computer user should have the freedom to run, copy, distribute, study, share, change, and

[00:27] <FloodBot1> morth_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[00:27] <deathtech> blak : so if  i understand, chmod is simply permission administration ?
[00:28] <shingen> losher: yeah, I figured that if ufw had easy to use redirects, I'd be happy to use ufw to use iptables to do the redirects :D
[00:28] <shingen> losher: last I checked, it wasn't a feature in ufw
[00:28]  * blak nods at deathtech
[00:28] <DerDracle> How can I change the output resolution and bpp of vncserver in ubuntu.
[00:28] <blak> deathtech: this could be why you are having to use sudo all the time
[00:28] <deathtech> blak : thanks man, appreciate it :)
[00:28] <DerDracle> I'm using the graphical Remote Desktop interface.
[00:28]  * blak nods
[00:28] <losher> shingen: I'm not convinced you need iptables. You were talking about mapping domain names I thought?
[00:29] <Doc8404> anyone know of a free ip tracing service... neotrace pro costs money
[00:30] <blak> !ot > Doc8404
[00:30] <shingen> losher: mapping domain names to socks proxies for traffic, cuz I'm too lazy to map out all the IP addresses associated with those domain names, yes :)
[00:30] <deathtech> You guys will be seeing a lot of me, im going from MCSE, A+, Net+  with about 15 years of windows experience, to forcing myself to use linux as a server & desktop for 3 months to get a full unadulterated view of the differences, to see which one i prefer above the hype.
[00:30] <nickrud> Doc8404, like traceroute ?
[00:30] <Sn007ake> how do you run a program as a superuser in the terminal
[00:30] <deathtech> sn007ake : sudo programname :)
[00:30] <jrib> !sudo > Sn007ake
[00:31] <jrib> deathtech: you should read the rute book
[00:31] <jrib> !rute > deathtech
[00:31] <Doc8404> nickrud like something that will give me a address and name of someone whos pinging my computer :)
[00:31] <nickrud> deathtech, not another guy ;)
[00:31] <Danskmand> 007: sudo
[00:31] <brylie> ! graphics cards
[00:31] <brylie> ! video cards
[00:31] <losher> shingen: any particular applications?
[00:31] <racerx> can anyone help me with why my wireless is connecting at such a low speed on intrepid?
[00:32] <blak> deathtech: lol, well you made a good choice, *nix is wayyy better for servers, pretty darn good for workstations
[00:32] <enyawix> can use use dselest or some other app get get a new version like debian or do you have to reinstall?
[00:32] <shingen> losher: I have 4 SSH tunnels, all using -D to create dynamic socks proxies, and I'd like to use all 6 proxies at the same time, to redirect traffic for a specific domain names...  All applications preferred, like how gnome network manager works
[00:32] <nickrud> Doc8404, dig <ip> , then whois
[00:32] <haren25> ok, I just tried to install apache and pear + mysql, to do a test website, and I cant figure out what I missed.. when I go to http localhost it simply asks what I should do with the php file
[00:32] <brylie> where is the list of supported video cards by manufacturer?
[00:32] <parodyoflanguage> deathtech: If your expertise is with Windows, why would you use GNU/Linux?
[00:32] <deathtech> jrib : I know where to look first, but its goood to have a fall back
[00:33] <Turtle2> hi
[00:33] <deathtech> parodyoflanguage : old machines laying around that can become useful, and i have friends that are on me about using it. I used nix for a year or so way back (Mandrake 7.0, 1996/97) and have a general interest in new things and computing itself.
[00:33] <racerx> I normally could connect on my laptop above 200kb/s but now it is less than a 100
[00:33] <TheSpawn> is there hamachi for linux?
[00:33] <deathtech> parodyoflanguage : and, i dont want to EVER stop learning :)
[00:33] <jrib> deathtech: the rute book is a great book that will give you a tour of linux in general (I know ubottu gave you several links, the last one is the rute book)
[00:33] <shingen> yes, it's even on the hamachi website
[00:33] <thiebaude> !hamachi
[00:33] <parodyoflanguage> deathtech: Then all the power to you :)
[00:34] <Turtle2> yuo will learn forevaeva
[00:34] <parodyoflanguage> deathtech: You should also learn programming.
[00:34] <TheSpawn> can i just type hamchi in the paket manager
[00:34] <deathtech> parodyoflanguage : trust me, i know enough about windows that i have prob tapped the limit
[00:34] <haren25> deathtech: no wonder you wanna check out linux
[00:34] <Doc8404> blak i have just as much right to ask something in here as you have to be here. im on ubuntu thies 1300 people in here, leave me be
[00:35] <shingen> TheSpawn: no, it's unsupported on Ubuntu... read more about it on the hamachi web site
[00:35] <Sn007ake> Ok im confused here  i go to install something using ./name.run and it Works however i get a prompt saying must be a superuser so i   sudo name.run and it's command not found. Am i typeing it wrong?
[00:35] <deathtech> parodyoflanguage : i would love to learn programming actually, that is yet another reason i wanted a nix system, free software and tons of documentation on the subject :)
[00:35] <biggerfisch> How do I upgrade kde 4.0 to kde 4.1?
[00:35] <blak> Doc8404: neotrace is completely offtopic, but ok..
[00:35] <racerx> anyone can help me with y my wireless connection speed is very slow on intrepid
[00:35] <jrib> Sn007ake: why did you drop the './' :)
[00:35] <Doc8404> blak then you didnt read my entire question
[00:35] <sweetgum> how can i edit menu.lst in a text editor?
[00:35] <Sn007ake> yes im typeing  sudo name.run
[00:35] <jrib> Sn007ake: you missed what I said.  You need the './'
[00:36] <jrib> sweetgum: gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
[00:36] <parodyoflanguage> deathtech: Yep :)
[00:36] <parodyoflanguage> deathtech: Learn tools like bison and grep.
[00:36] <blak> Doc8404: you were asking a help channel to become a recommendation channel, you could just search google for reviews on good tracing programs that are "free". That is the reason I pointed you to that, not trying to do anything else
[00:36] <parodyoflanguage> deathtech: There's hardly any limit of knowledge with GNU/Linux.  There's always moar :)
[00:37] <mattgyver83wasta> is there a way to temporarily disable the touchpad mouse on a laptop within ubuntu?
[00:37] <haren25> ok, I just tried to install apache and pear + mysql, to do a test website, and I cant figure out what I missed.. when I go to http localhost it simply asks if I want to download the php-file
[00:37] <jrib> !lamp > haren25
[00:37] <deathtech> ive played with grep a bit already
[00:37] <jrib> haren25: follow the troubleshooting steps there
[00:37] <blak> Yea If I had been 15 years into all that I would be dying for learning something new as well, lol.

[00:38] <losher> shingen: out of my depth a bit here, but aren't you just mapping domain names into particular tcp address&port? You only do that once per tcp connection at setup time. No need to examine each packet at the iptables level?
[00:38] <kardiel> jrib: p4 2.66ghz, 512ram
[00:39] <deathtech> blak : im now 28 :p
[00:39] <jrib> kardiel: check system -> administration -> system monitor  for anything interesting
[00:39] <jrib> deathtech,: we like to keep this channel dedicated to ubuntu support only since it is so busy.  Mind moving your discussion over to #ubuntu-offtopic?
[00:39] <blak> nickrud: Sorry I didn't try to read that far into it, but hey it's good to know you don't have to even use some crazy software, you can just use some commands to do that, like you said :D
[00:40] <kardiel> jrib: im not using gnome
[00:40] <shingen> losher: essentially, yes... which is why I'd prefer to do it in a more robust version of gnome proxy manager, as opposed to iptables...
[00:40] <jrib> kardiel: what are you using?
[00:41] <lesterc> can someone tells me if linux-image-xen is for dom0 or domU?
[00:41] <kardiel> archlinux, openbox
[00:42] <deathtech> jrib : done, my bad :)
[00:42] <morth_> how do i change my transparentcy of my terminal agian?
[00:42] <jrib> kardiel: you're in the wrong channel :)  Try #archlinux
[00:42] <jrib> morth_: edit -> current profile
[00:43] <morth_> jrib thank you!
[00:45] <ubuntu_> hello
[00:45] <MeanderingCode> anyone know what value or command in what file i might change to stop my computer from suspending every time i powerit up?
[00:46] <ubuntu_> Virgin Classic Radio does not work anymore in rhythmbox. I think they changed their address.
[00:46] <losher> shingen: there are lots of tcp proxy programs on the net e.g. http://www.quietsche-entchen.de/cgi-bin/wiki.cgi/proxies/TcpProxy or http://www.cs.uit.no/~daniels/PacketProxy/index.html
[00:46] <ubuntu_> Default list of radio stations should be updated
[00:47] <kitche2> ubuntu_: well that is more of a rhytmbox issue really and yes they did change their address and name
[00:47] <thiebaude> ubuntu_:shoutcast on the internet has virgin radio, which is now absolute radio
[00:48] <ubuntu_> we need to update rhythmbox package then
[00:48] <morth_> Booger are you boognasty?
[00:48] <attickid> hey
[00:48] <TheSpawn> im an idiot what do i do http://pastebin.com/m20671915
[00:48] <blak> ubuntu_: they people who develop it yea, they probably aren't in this channel though..
[00:48] <thiebaude> ubuntu_:totem plays absolute radion at shoutcast dot com
[00:48] <attickid> Im new to linux, I got apache running why cant I see apache process while making  ps -e ?
[00:48] <shingen> losher: yeah, I was hoping to not need to run a proxy daemon to handle multiple socks proxies...
[00:49] <blak> attickid: try ps -aux
[00:49] <nickrud> TheSpawn, put ; between the commands, or run them separately
[00:50] <nickrud> tar zxvf hamachi-0.9.9.9-20-lnx.tar.gz && cd hamachi-0.9.9.9-20-lnx && sudo make install (using && instead of ; makes sure each command completes successfully before trying the next. ; makes them try blindly)
[00:50] <blak> ubuntu_: you could contact the people who develop ryhtyhmbox about it, i guess.
[00:50] <thiebaude> ubuntu_:I'am listening to it now, it sounds real good :)
[00:51] <attickid> blak: thanks

[01:05] <DoYouKnow> I am particularly interested in v4l2 support
[01:06] <Rayray> any ideas about the printers
[01:07] <Geoffrey2> the firmware and driver are installed, the Wi/Fi light is lit, lspci and ifconfig both show the device as being present, but it still can't see the router
[01:07] <Coroh> lookin for Sony memory stick driver
[01:07] <shingen> travolta: define 'chat'... chat programs like ntalk for direct communications between *nix clients aren't commonly used these days
[01:08] <DoYouKnow> thnx
[01:08] <travolta> shingen i am talking about ip range
[01:08] <MetalHeadDead> will brasero burn a .bin file?
[01:09] <shingen> travolta: why would you need an IP range to determine who is local to you to chat with them?
[01:10] <aaron> I am using Ubuntu 8.04....I want to upgrade my evolution mail to 2.24.0....which is going to be part of intrepid...what is the best way to do this without installing intrepid?
[01:11] <Geoffrey2> I may be wrong, but I don't believe there's any correlation between ip address and geographic region....
[01:11] <MetalHeadDead> you'd be surprised
[01:11] <spasticteapot> Geoffrey2: There is.
[01:11] <shingen> http://ipindex.homelinux.net/index.php < --- correlation between IP address and location
[01:12] <shingen> amongst other things
[01:12] <MetalHeadDead> what app will burn .bin files?
[01:12] <shingen> but I still think travolta was a bit confused :)
[01:15] <MetalHeadDead> so nothing will burn a .bin file?
[01:15] <Mrfo> is there a way to take control of a process thats running on a rogue remote login? i need to make sure it keeps running
[01:15] <sweetgum> how can i install mkinitrd
[01:16] <Rayray> any ideas about the hp deskjet 3322 and any issues with drivers
[01:17] <sweetgum> could someone tell me how to install mkinitrd?
[01:17] <Geoffrey2> ok, still no wireless help...that's one difficult topic to find help on....
[01:20] <perlsyntax> Anyone play AA on linux before?
[01:22] <mini-man> Ok, I didn't get much help in #xubuntu for this, so... basically I have the exact same problem with my headphones not muting my built-in monitor speakers when they're plugged in, and I can't manually do it either (it either turns the volume up for both or none)..
[01:22] <md22> hello
[01:23] <sweetgum> hi md22: do you know how to install mkinitrd
[01:23] <mini-man> my chipset is realtek ALC883
[01:23] <ivo> i don't like vi and nano - is there other editor in text mode?
[01:24] <md22> sweetgum:sorry i don't know, but it sounds like that ha ssomething to do with the kernel. ask the guys in #linux
[01:24] <md22> sorry its for rmadisk
[01:25] <MrWizeGuy1983> ivo there is pico if you download it
[01:25] <MrWizeGuy1983> i hate vi
[01:25] <ivo> i try to use vi, but after few hours i'm tired
[01:25] <MrWizeGuy1983> i despise vi, get pico
[01:26] <ivo> pico is the same like nano
[01:26] <MrWizeGuy1983> i don't know of nano, but pico is great
[01:26] <lesterc> the first thing I do when I finish a debian install is to make vim the default editor instead of nano. :)
[01:27] <MrWizeGuy1983> there's a default editor?
[01:27] <techsupport> Hi! i need help. mouted drive in windows with samba, i get random network drive disconnection errors and/or when compying files from or to this network drive i get error - cannot copy file - specified network name is no longer available
[01:27] <ivo> i found on google emacs
[01:28] <lesterc> MrWizeGuy1983: yeah - /usr/bin/editor or something.
[01:28] <lesterc> used for vi* commands.
[01:28] <sweetgum> md22: k thanks, could you tell me how to edit menu.lst in a text editor?
[01:28] <MrWizeGuy1983> who knew, i always type gedit or pico then the file name
[01:29] <MrWizeGuy1983> sweetgum, you should be able to type gksudo gedit menu.lst if you're in the same folder as it is
[01:29] <md22> hello if you guys had to choose a system to install ubuntu (for multimedia and coding) which on ewould you choose : 1)Athlon x2 6000, 4GB ram ,radeon HD380,Creative Xfi sound card  or 2)Pentium D 2GHZ ,Intel GMA950, 2GB ram,onboard sound
[01:30] <MrWizeGuy1983> md22, i'd use it on the 64 bit one
[01:30] <MrWizeGuy1983> 64 bit ubuntu is great
[01:30] <MrWizeGuy1983> pentium d is nice too, but it's a 32 bit
[01:30] <fion> I'd used it on the 32 bit one
[01:31] <MrWizeGuy1983> why would you do that?
[01:31] <MrWizeGuy1983> 32 bit is becoming a thing of the past...
[01:32] <fion> my computer is so old
[01:32] <fion> :)
[01:32] <morth_> overclock that badboy then :)
[01:32] <MrWizeGuy1983> lol
[01:32] <md22> fion:any advantage in choosing the 32bit over the 64 bit ?
[01:32] <MrWizeGuy1983> it's easier to set up the 32
[01:33] <MrWizeGuy1983> but 64 is faster and more future compatible
[01:33] <fion> I just use it not for a long time
[01:33] <LimCore> MrWizeGuy1983: I dont think 64 is really faster
[01:33] <fion> so am I
[01:33] <MrWizeGuy1983> LimCore, why do you believe that?
[01:33] <shingen> 64bit can be faster depending if the full memory bus size is used when doing computations
[01:33] <fion> I used to 32 bit
[01:33] <shingen> if it's not, then it's not faster at all :)
[01:33] <LimCore> 64 bit can be a bit more secure I guess,  but most important - it simply will allow to use more then 4, 8 GB ram+swap easly
[01:34] <md22> are the xfi sound blaster cards and the radeon hd3850 cards compatible with linux ?
[01:34] <shingen> more secure? uh, no
[01:34] <MrWizeGuy1983> transmitting 64 bits of data at a time or 32 seems rather plain, of course the bus speed matters, but it's faster overall
[01:34] <MrWizeGuy1983> the data is transmitted at the same intervals
[01:34] <MrWizeGuy1983> the chip itself is twice as fast, but the bandwidth of the fsb is a limiting factor
[01:35] <LimCore> shingen: in theory, 64 bits could offer more stack and other randomizations, but I dont think ubuntu uses that
[01:35] <LimCore> well in 64 bit mode you can access more registers
[01:35] <LimCore> afair
[01:35] <MrWizeGuy1983> my experience with my core 2 duo on 64 bit linux is that it's so fast it's ridiculous, and also used 32 and 64 bit vista on the same computer
[01:36] <MrWizeGuy1983> 64 bit vista runs almost as fast as 32 bit xp, which doesn't run almost as fast as any linux, but still

[01:38] <Alastair27> hi. i have a question. when ubuntu 8.10 comes out will i be able to upgrade without loosing all my settings and data or will i have to start from scratch? (i'm using 8.04 now)
[01:38] <MrWizeGuy1983> LimCore, do you know how to make the audio not be distorted on rm files played via xine?
[01:38] <sysdoc> What is the default GLIB ver for Hardy?
[01:39] <LimCore> MrWizeGuy1983: nope
[01:39] <MrWizeGuy1983> i wonder if anyone knows
[01:39] <MrWizeGuy1983> i didn't find anything useful
[01:39] <ericboeh1> Everytime I left click in firefox it scrolls down a little bit.  But left click still works.  how do I fix this?
[01:39] <Pici> Alastair27: You will be able to upgrade.
[01:40] <failure> is nfs multi threaded?
[01:40] <Alastair27> cool thank you. i was worried i'd have to install all my stuff again

[01:40] <dylian17> Plz help!!
[01:42] <morth_> i use the Ad-Aware 2008, Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, Search and Destroy, and CCleaner and Hijackthis on my windows computer... these programs usefull or useless for Ubuntu?
[01:43] <dylian17> Morth, actually yes because in Ubuntu, the Windows viruses and spyware cannot attack the system and do some damage to it
[01:43] <jrib> morth_: not needed
[01:43] <sysdoc> !libc6
[01:43] <sysdoc> !glibc
[01:43] <MrWizeGuy1983> morth_, windows just needs those things because it's full of holes and a lot of hackers hate microsoft
[01:43] <morth_> now i know Linux isnt 100% Virus, Spyware, Malware Free so what programs should i be using?
[01:44] <MrWizeGuy1983> morth_, it's not 100%, just 99.999995%
[01:44] <morth_> =]
[01:44] <jrib> morth_: none.  Just use official repositories and you will be fine
[01:44] <roukoun> hi all
[01:44] <MrWizeGuy1983> it's a proven fact that more viruses are made in ONE WEEK for windows than exist total for linux morth_
[01:44] <morth_> you guys cant tell me you never once searched for a virus..?
[01:44] <Alastair27> i have antivirus software on my phone but i don't bother for linux

[01:46] <WarMaster> Hi all
[01:46] <roukoun> i have bought a serial db9 to usb converter cable. it came with its drivers but i see that they are for redhat... so what can  i do? is there any way to configure it via the command-line
[01:46] <roukoun> ?
[01:46] <morth_> Okay say - i have a "Windows virus" installed on a cd and i install it onto my Linux system... it wont effect it because a virus f**ks up the registery and hunk a junk on windows making it Debug which linux doesnt have the stuff so what would it do? just sit there and collect dust?
[01:46] <jrib> morth_: you're assuming "install it on my Linux system" has a meaning
[01:47] <dylian17> jrib> so? Maybe how I know that I'm still protected??
[01:47] <ykphuah> what is the application that displays the system information at the right hand side of this screenshot? -> http://matthewhelmke.net/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/current-desk.png

[01:47] <DoYouKnow> is there any other way?

[01:49] <DarwinS-Sup-eus-> jrib, http://pastebin.com/d7fa9e941

[01:50] <jrib> DarwinS-Sup-eus-: output of 'echo $http_proxy' is?
[01:50] <DarwinS-Sup-eus-> http://:8080
[01:51] <jrib> DarwinS-Sup-eus-: then the answer is "yes" to my previous question :)

[01:51] <DarwinS-Sup-eus-> I didn't set that up, how do I fix that
[01:51] <_albertux_> hi does anybody knows how to unistall untangle ?
[01:51] <jmk2> How do i compare two folders to see which files are missing?
[01:51] <jabagawee> i have a folder with a bunch of txt files (sans extensions) in various subdirectories. what would the easiest way to append '.txt' to their names be?
[01:52] <truebosko> jmk2: Try using diff .. diff some_dir other_dir | sort
[01:52] <DarwinS-Sup-eus-> jribI didn't set that up, how do I fix that?
[01:52] <chmac> jabagawee: You can probably do something very clever with command line substitution
[01:53] <roukoun> _Zeus_: can you think of anything i can do?
[01:53] <ykphuah> jabagawee: you have anyway of identifying those files that you want to rename? a script is easy, but unless you want to rename every file to end with txt, you need some sort of filters.
[01:53] <jabagawee> ykphuah, umm, i basically want every file, minus the directories to have .txt appended to it
[01:54] <chmac> jabagawee: I'd suggest find is probably the simplest option
[01:55] <ykphuah> jabagawee: go into the directory, and run this "find ./ -type f -exec mv \{} \{}.txt \;"
[01:55] <chmac> ykphuah beat me to it :)
[01:55] <ykphuah> jabagawee: that will rename every file to end with a txt.
[01:55] <jabagawee> oh shoot, i forgot to delete the files ending with ~ first..
[01:56] <jabagawee> how do i remove all files ending in ~.txt?
[01:56] <ykphuah> jabagawee: that's simple -> "find ./ -name "*~.txt" -exec rm \{} \;"
[01:57] <jabagawee> what does "\;" mean?
[01:57] <jrib> DarwinS-Sup-eus-: meh, this return anything:  aptitude search '~dproxy~i'
[01:57] <jabagawee> i'm assuming that \{} stands for the files that match the search
[01:57] <ykphuah> jabagawee: everything behinds the -exec line, you need to escape it if it looks like some special variable in shell.
[01:57] <jrib> jabagawee, ykphuah: find has -delete fwiw
[01:57] <ykphuah> jabagawee: so its actually just {} ;
[01:58] <ykphuah> jabagawee: so the semicolon is just to end the -exec command.
[01:58] <jabagawee> ah, escape characters. why is the ";" needed if its just a one line command?
[01:58] <jabagawee> oh.. i see. what would happen if i left it out?
[01:58] <ykphuah> jrib: ah, that's something new I learn, thanks!
[01:58] <ykphuah> jabagawee: well, you can create a temporary directory and some files to try that out. :)
[01:59] <jabagawee> very true, but i wanna learn the mechanics of it. what happens if i leave out the ;?
[01:59] <marbisca> why modem usb not wor in ubuntu
[01:59] <ykphuah> jabagawee: the best way to learn is by trying.
[01:59] <marbisca> work..
[02:00] <bzaks> I have a "check my wifi connection" script that runs on crontab. it works perfectly fine when I run it. However when crontab runs it
[02:00] <bzaks> it fails
[02:00] <bzaks> is there any reason why that would happen?
[02:00] <jabagawee> thanks guys :D
[02:00] <ykphuah> bzaks: I think there's an option in cron to log errors.
[02:00] <jrib> bzaks: check for local mail from cron
[02:00] <DarwinS-Sup-eus-> http://pastebin.com/m3be14361 jrib
[02:00] <ykphuah> bzaks: or you could also pipe the output of your script to a log file yourself.
[02:01] <jmk2> truebosko: awesome, thx!
[02:01] <marbisca> :-D
[02:01] <jrib> DarwinS-Sup-eus-: nothing stands out there.  Are you sure you didn't install any sort of proxy like tor maybe?
[02:01] <marbisca> >:o
[02:01] <marbisca> better kubuntu or ubuntu
[02:02] <marbisca> ?
[02:02] <roukoun> can anyone help me to install the drivers for a serial to usb converter?
[02:02] <Geoffrey2> if you don't have read/write access to a folder, would that mean you couldn't see the files in the folder?
[02:02] <marbisca> ..
[02:02] <jmk2> just incase, i was trying to see which files were missing from both directories, where each DIR as hundreds of files, i used: diff -q DIR1 DIR2 | grep -i 'only in' | sort
[02:02] <jrib> Geoffrey2: yeah
[02:03] <marbisca> all in this chat speak with none
[02:03] <Dr_willis_> roukoun,  you may want to explain what kind of 'drivers' they are, did you find source? or kernel patches? or packages or what?
[02:03] <platius> =1
[02:03] <Dr_willis_> marbisca,  try them both. use what you like.
[02:03] <Dr_willis_> marbisca,  its trivial to have kde and gnome both on the same box. and compare
[02:04] <marbisca> i ask to u the very important difference
[02:04] <Dr_willis_> marbisca,  one uses kde, other uses gnome.
[02:04] <bzaks> Any reason why it won't let me "install" the new crontab entry?
[02:04] <jrib> marbisca: it's personal preference.  Try both and use what you like
[02:05] <jrib> bzaks: what does that mean?
[02:05] <marbisca> and the difference from kde and gnome?
[02:05] <roukoun> Dr_willis_: there are three files named: Makefile, pl2303.c and ReadMe.txt... but i dont know who is the installer!
[02:05] <marbisca> are only graphic?
[02:05] <Geoffrey2> I am still seeking help getting my wireless card to see my router....
[02:06] <Dr_willis_> roukoun,  you will need to instgall the basic c developer package 'build-essentials' tghen read that readme.txt and  see if it explains how to compile the driver.
[02:06] <bzaks> jrib: when I save the new crontab edit, it says "errors in crontab file, retry install?"
[02:06] <bzaks> or something to that effect
[02:06] <Dr_willis_> marbisca,  you may want to google for 'kde vs gnome' You can easially install both and try them each out.
[02:06] <marbisca> ﻿are only graphics?
[02:06] <marbisca> ok
[02:06] <jrib> bzaks: pastebin it
[02:06] <marbisca> but I ask to u
[02:06] <marbisca> not at google!!
[02:07] <Dr_willis_> because anything we tell you about the 2, wont make any sence because you will just keep asking what we mean. :)  try the ubuntu live cd.. thatg dnome.. kubuntu is kde..
[02:07] <roukoun> Dr_willis_: in the reame.txt it tells how to install it but the command ('make inst') doesnt work
[02:07] <Dr_willis_> roukoun,  install the 'build-essential' package.
[02:08] <roukoun> Dr_willis_: it is already installed
[02:08] <Dr_willis_> roukoun,  then the 'make' command should be there.. as for 'make inst' no idea. thats just telling the make program to use the makefile and look for the inst. part.. you sure it dident say 'make install'
[02:09] <morth_> can anyone suggest a video or a tutorial on how to setup a FTP server
[02:09] <bzaks> oooh, I got it, I accidentally added in a new line between the timing and the command
[02:09] <Dr_willis_> !ftpd | morth_
[02:09] <Dr_willis_> morth_,  it would be 'best' to learn to use ssh and scp. and let ftp die out. :)
[02:10] <roukoun> Dr_willis: the command make is here!!! but the inst doent work
[02:10] <Dr_willis_> roukoun,  thats the fault of the docs, or the makefiles/source then.
[02:10] <Awsoonn> hi al, I am on hardy and tried to configure pidgin to use google talk, but t give me an error when tryign to connect, is there somethign I'm missing here?
[02:10] <hon``> how can I assign keyboard shortcuts using the "windows" key?
[02:10] <morth_> first question - are you typing my name for that or is there like a Shift click command to auto type my name?
[02:10] <random1374> hi all
[02:10] <morth_> Second is ssh and scp the "same as ftp"?
[02:11] <roukoun> Dr_willis: so what can i do?
[02:11] <morth_> and will other users be able to access the ssh and scp on  the website like ftp?
[02:11] <Dr_willis_> morth_,  'ssh is secure' - sftp is similer in ussage to ftp.
[02:11] <DCPom> hon``, the windows key is the "super" key
[02:11] <tommy> how i install flash player for firfox?
[02:11] <Dr_willis_> roukoun,  i would reread the install docs, and check the programs homepage/forums/guides..  make inst   - would be weird.. 'make' by itself should compile the stuff.. or 'make install' or 'make all'
[02:12] <Dr_willis_> !ssh morth_
[02:12] <tommy> how i install flash player for firefox pls?
[02:12] <DaCapn> apt-cache search firefox | grep flash
[02:12] <Dr_willis_> !ssh | morth_
[02:12] <DaCapn> Then aptitude install (packagename)
[02:12] <random1374> could someone suggest a solution to an off-topic prob? i'm having trouble accessing google and gmail, it happened first a few day ago and i was able to circumvent that by typing l [dot] google [dot] com. is there another trick i can use this time?
[02:12] <morth_> is it accessible like a FTP?
[02:12] <tommy> DaCapn, WHAT?
[02:12] <hon``> DCPom: but when I try to type "Super-Q" (Win+Q), it only grabs Super, as if super is not a modifier key
[02:12] <roukoun> Dr_willis: gimme a try
[02:13] <DaCapn> tommy Do you know how to install software in general?
[02:13] <morth_> because i need easy access for my other users to be able to upload and download files
[02:13] <test1345> no I did set up a proxy in ffox I use it to work, but it's currently disabled, I just enable that on demand, and I do it through ffox jrib
[02:13] <DCPom> hon``, it works for me, but i'm using xfce right now
[02:13] <tommy> DaCapn, ok got it ty :)
[02:13] <Dr_willis_> morth_,  basicially yes.
[02:14] <Dr_willis_> morth_,  and its MUCH more secure
[02:14] <morth_> how would my other users access it?
[02:14] <jrib> test1345: I need to leave, but you need to figure out what is setting the http_proxy variable either in ~ or in /etc/ (grep is your friend)
[02:14] <morth_> like ssh://blahblah.com?
[02:14] <Dr_willis_> morth_,  with ssh clients,  or other ways...
[02:14] <Dr_willis_> morth_,  depending onw hat they want to do.
[02:14] <morth_> Upload and Download
[02:14] <Dr_willis_> gnome and kde both have some sort of ssh/filesystem feature in the file manager
[02:15] <Dr_willis_> or you can do it from the command line, or mount the remote ssh machine with 'sshfs' or other tools.
[02:15] <morth_> i need Windows/mac/linux OS people to be able to Upload and download files and media on it.
[02:15] <Dr_willis_> ssh and its ussage and related commands are documented all over the place..
[02:15] <Dr_willis_> morth_,  ssh has clients for all those os's
[02:15] <Dr_willis_> morth_,  for windows - i use 'winscp'
[02:16] <morth_> okay i might want to try that out
[02:16] <morth_> ill take you're word for it
[02:16] <morth_> how hard is it to setup?
[02:16] <Dr_willis_> go read/leran about ssh. its  worth learning...
[02:16] <morth_> and importantly use it
[02:16] <Dr_willis_> takes me 10 sec to get ssh going on my new installs.
[02:17] <xomp> Does anyone here use Opera on Hardy Heron? Are you experiencing the mind numbing problems with flash and random crashing like I am?
[02:17] <Dr_willis_> ssh is the 'jack of all trades' uber-tool of the  decade. :) it has so many ussage
[02:18] <DigitalFiz> its just  a communication protocol
[02:18] <Dr_willis_> with a bajillion usses :)
[02:18] <morth_> brb.
[02:20] <LimCore> my laptop is 95% time in C0, while doing nothing, wtf
[02:22] <sysdoc_> LimCore, what kernel?
[02:22] <Asymptote> !irssi
[02:23] <Azhi_Dahaka> Hey...I'm missing 2 spaces!
[02:23] <sqawerlz> can anyone tell me how to install flash for firefox on ubuntu
[02:23] <Dr_willis_> !flash
[02:24] <bzaks> So okay -> I see my crontab command being executed, however, for some reason the test in it (ping -t 3 -c 3 192.168.1.1 &>/dev/null; if [[ "${?}" -ne 0 ]] then ....fi) is either evaluating to true or I've coded wrong, but it works when I run it manually
[02:24] <LimCore> sysdoc_: current, 64bit intell laptop
[02:24] <Dr_willis_> bzaks,  you may need to put the command in a script and run it from there, or do some fancy quoteing around the whole command
[02:24] <bzaks> It is in the script.
[02:25] <sysdoc_> LimCore, is she heating up?
[02:25] <Dr_willis_> bzaks,  so you are telling crotab to run /path/to/fancyscript then?
[02:25] <bzaks> Sorry, I should've been more clear. The whole command is in a script, and the test condition is not being met (even though it should be)
[02:25] <LimCore> sort of...
[02:25] <LimCore> other thing... I can not put hd to sleep
[02:25] <LimCore> it keeps waking up instantly. wtf
[02:25] <bzaks> Dr_willis_ yes
[02:26] <Dr_willis_> bzaks,  the script is calling #!/bin/bash and not #!/bin/sh ?
[02:26] <Dr_willis_> bzaks,  im just rembering 'common mistakes' ive seen over the ages.. :)
[02:27] <bzaks> Dr_willis_ I hadn't been doing the #!/bin at all, I'll giver the ol' college try
[02:27] <Dr_willis_> bzaks,  i think that would make it run with 'sh' then..    you may want it to run with bash.
[02:27] <bzaks> brb
[02:28] <sysdoc_> LimCore, make/model?
[02:29] <LimCore> sysdoc_: Extansa5220 acer
[02:29] <LimCore> sysdoc_: jfsCommit uses hard drive
[02:29] <LimCore> but I dunno why, wtf
[02:30] <bzaks> hey!
[02:30] <meoblast001> where is an autotools irc
[02:31] <bzaks> it worked! Thanks Dr_willis_!
[02:31] <meoblast001> ive really messed up on a Makefile.am file because there is no real good guide
[02:32] <LimCore> every 5 seconds or so, damn jfsCommit runs and writes to hd. WTF how to stop this
[02:32] <nodealmsft> Hey everyone one Im having some issues with my operating system running current ubuntu distro and i have successfully downloaded java and saved it into /usr/java and ran the install in that folder then made a symbolic link in both the mozilla plugins and firefox in /usr/lib folders respectively and it will not work.

[02:35] <kwyjibo> hello. i installed a bad gtk theme and cannot log into a GUI. how can i change my theme from the command line?

[02:37] <nodealmsft> ﻿sqawerlz, you should be able to get that from the add-on menu in firefox
[02:37] <bobertdos> sqawerlz: I repeat, please type about:plugins into Firefox and see what versions of flash and/or gnash are listed there.
[02:37] <sqawerlz> gnash?
[02:37] <lesterc> dada: bad disc/dvdrom?
[02:37] <sqawerlz> bobertos when you type about:plugins
[02:37] <dada> lesterc:yes
[02:38] <dada> lesterc:sorry no
[02:38] <nodealmsft> DCPom private message?
[02:38] <Asymptote> exit
[02:38] <sysdoc_> LimCore, U may have the same problems that I was experiencing, and I didn't get it fixed until I went to the 2.6.27 kernel
[02:38] <DCPom> i'll do the best i can, nodealmsft
[02:38] <kwyjibo> can someone tell me how to change gtk themes from terminal? i can't log into a gui
[02:38] <DCPom> so yeah
[02:39] <dada> Detecting file systems..at 15%
[02:39] <sqawerlz> bobertos i do not have gnashh installed i downloaded the package but i cant seem to figure out how to install it.
[02:39] <badfish> can someone please help me make my 360 controller work with prboom? it works in jscalibrator. it works in windows
[02:39] <reya276> Does anyone know when will the GIMP be update to 2.6 on Hardy?
[02:39] <sqawerlz> bobertos totem is installed as well as a flash plugin called fast media which is supposed to handle flash
[02:40] <bobertdos> sqawerlz: Only flashplugin-nonfree or flash directly downloaded from Adobe will fully support flash content in web-browsers.
[02:41] <Ademan> is it possible to have multiple mount points on the same partition?   for instance if i wanted to have all of my bin directories on a single partition could i have    part/bin part/usr/bin part/usr/local/bin      and then mount them to /bin /usr/bin and /usr/local/bin respectively?
[02:41] <sqawerlz> bobertos, i dont care how i just need to play flash video on the web. tell me what i need to do.
[02:41] <Azhi_Dahaka> ok... my wic suddendly disconnects and then refuses to connect back until i reboot
[02:41] <sqawerlz> bobertos i did download adobe flash but i couldnt figure out how to install it.
[02:42] <huy_> i want to install windows on my ubuntu system, how would i set up grub for it?
[02:42] <md22> sow which of you guys are PCs
[02:42] <sploozer> i'm having issues with this very simple bash script, for some reason its not printing out any results to my output files....any suggestions? http://fpaste.org/paste/7326....I want it to compare my request and reply sequence numbers and output any difference between the two to display packet loss occured
[02:42] <morth_> im a human :)
[02:42] <kwyjibo> can someone tell me how to change gtk themes from terminal? i can't log into a gui
[02:43] <Grey_Loki> huy_, this may help you - http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-software-2/how-do-i-add-windows-xp-to-grub-boot-loader-375198/ :)
[02:43] <Ademan> huy_: installing windows AFTER ubuntu is a recipe for pain, however if you wanted to do that, you will have to re-install grub from the livecd after installing windows
[02:43] <md22> morth_:just say the MS commercial :)
[02:43] <Ademan> huy_: Grey_Loki's link looks good
[02:43] <bobertdos> sqawerlz: The quickest way is to type in the terminal: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree libflashsupport. It's not the most stable, but it will work in most cases.
[02:43] <Grey_Loki> Ademan, isn't it possible to tell grub to re-scan HDs for bootable partitions?
[02:43] <Grey_Loki> Or even set your own manually
[02:43] <Grey_Loki> I'm pretty sure i've done the latter in the past
[02:43] <airtonix> kwyjibo, this involves invoking gconf-editor from command line
[02:43] <sqawerlz> bobertos, how can i install adobe flash? i downloaded it already.
[02:43] <Ademan> Grey_Loki: certainly, but XP and vista both blow away grub when you install them
[02:44] <sqawerlz> bobertos i tried the ./install-sh but it said file didnt exist!
[02:44] <sploozer> any ideas?
[02:44] <morth_> kwyjibo - heres a video on youtube movie - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VVLKkwzIjrk
[02:44] <kwyjibo> airstrics, is that a command line app or does it require gnome
[02:44] <Grey_Loki> Ademan, aha, of course - I was fixing grub after it 'just broke' >.>
[02:44] <IntuitiveNipple> sploozer: The tail "-f" option isn't going to help
[02:44] <Ademan> if you install ubuntu *after* windows, the installer will automatically add a boot option for windows, which is really nice
[02:44] <morth_> kwyjibo that video is on how to install a GTK theme in ubuntu
[02:44] <LimCore> sysdoc_: centisec thingy fixed it mostly
[02:44] <LimCore> but
[02:45] <sploozer> IntuitiveNipple: I want to keep track of that file in real time though
[02:45] <airtonix> kwyjibo, its both.
[02:45] <DCPom> sqawerlz, have you done sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree ?
[02:45] <LimCore> where can I find the setting to tell jfs filesystem how much to delay to commit to device?
[02:45] <airtonix> !tab | kwyjibo
[02:45] <Ademan> fat balding north american ape?
[02:46] <kwyjibo> airtonix, is there a file i can edit manually?
[02:46] <md22> question which of card offer  the best 2D performance Ati or Nvidia ?
[02:46] <bobertdos> sqawerlz: In the terminal, cd into the install_flash_player_9_linux folder. Then run  sudo ./flashplayer-installer. Give the installer the path /usr/lib/firefox-3.0.3
[02:46] <airtonix> kwyjibo, yes...explore ~/.gconf/apps/nautilus
[02:46] <Ademan> kwyjibo: you *don't* want to edit gconf manually...
[02:46] <airtonix> Ademan, why not?
[02:47] <kwyjibo> Ademan, i cannot log into gnome because of a bad GTK theme. it crashes to the login window
[02:47] <kwyjibo> Ademan, i need to change the gtk theme for that user
[02:47] <sploozer> IntuitiveNipple:?
[02:47] <Ademan> kwyjibo: i believe there's a command line tool that will change a key
[02:47] <airtonix> Ademan, gconf is merely a collection of xml files...its is not the bloated thing you might mistake it to be the windows registery
[02:47] <Jordan_U> kwyjibo: Log in with a failsafe session
[02:47] <airtonix> Ademan, which is just what i have been saying
[02:48] <kwyjibo> Jordan_U, ???
[02:48] <Ademan> airtonix: true but as i recall gconf's files are actually somewhat scattered
[02:48] <airtonix> kwyjibo, here is a start : http://www.jennyandlih.com/gconf-editor-command-line
[02:48] <Jordan_U> kwyjibo: Ahh, nvm,
[02:48] <airtonix> Ademan, gconf files relevant to a user are in ~/.gconf
[02:48] <kwyjibo> Jordan_U, there is a safe mode? how
[02:49] <Azhi_Dahaka> ok... my wic suddendly disconnects and then refuses to connect back until i reboot
[02:49] <lbo_ken> brb
[02:49] <Jordan_U> kwyjibo: Well, there is a safe mode but you choose it from GDM ( the login screen ), so that won't work if GDM won't start :)
[02:49] <kwyjibo> Jordan_U, GDM is running. it just crashes back to it when i try to log in to that user
[02:50] <sploozer> http://fpaste.org/paste/7328 suggetions why packetsloss.txt does not get created even tho there are difference between requestfile.txt and replyfile.txt
[02:50] <Jordan_U> kwyjibo: Then go to sessions -> Failsafe Gnome ( or something like that ) from the bottom right menu of GDM
[02:50] <kwyjibo> Jordan_U, checking now
[02:51] <airtonix> kwyjibo, in a terminal, running this command will reveal the chosen theme for metacity :  gconftool -g /apps/metacity/general/theme
[02:51] <Ademan> airtonix: hrm, so they are... has it always been that way? i have a pretty distinct memory of finding some gconf files in, say ~/.evolution
[02:51] <sploozer> http://fpaste.org/paste/7328 suggetions why packetsloss.txt does not get created even tho there are difference between requestfile.txt and replyfile.txt
[02:52] <gluonman> I'm having difficulty playing some DVDs on my laptop (Ubuntu 8.04). I wanted to rip my library of movies to my external HDD for my own personal portable use. Libdvdcss2 seemed to perform nicely on most of my DVDs, but a couple of them have difficulty with copying over their .VOB files because of input/output errors I'm assuming are associated with encryption. After installing some DVD related packages from synaptec, Movie Player won't even play
[02:52] <gluonman> the same DVDs that won't rip. What should I do?
[02:52] <Chris_Foster> Hi, I'm looking for a command to completely overwrite a specific file with zeros so it is un-recoverable
[02:52] <Ademan> !repeat | sploozer
[02:52] <kwyjibo> Jordan_U, it didn't work. it stalled at a black screen with a grey box in the top left
[02:52] <kwyjibo> airtonix, testing that
[02:53] <badfish> gluonman: dvdfabdecrypter hd in wine
[02:53] <Chris_Foster> !patience > Chris_Foster
[02:53] <badfish> ubuntu runs .iso files every day
[02:53] <gluonman> badfish, alright. And how about solving my DVD playback issue with movie player?
[02:53] <badfish> what are those
[02:53] <badfish> outlawed codes
[02:53] <bobertdos> Chris_Foster: You might like a shredder program.

[02:53] <Ademan> Chris_Foster: sounds like shred is what you want
[02:53] <airtonix> kwyjibo, if you want to change the theme for metacity and gtk then this will be the method you will need to use if a gui is not available for you to use
[02:53] <badfish> someone help me here
[02:54] <airtonix> !restricted | badfish
[02:54] <Chris_Foster> bobertdos, Ademan: okay, I'll look into a program like that, thanks :)
[02:54] <bobertdos> Chris_Foster: I do believe there are a couple in the repos.
[02:54] <Chris_Foster> bobertdos: thanks
[02:54] <Jordan_U> badfish: He already has libdvdcss
[02:54] <badfish> !restricted | gluonman
[02:55] <Ademan> Chris_Foster: the actual program is called shred, if you type that in the console it should tell you to run sudo apt-get install shred to get it
[02:55] <airtonix> kwyjibo, http://www.gnome.org/projects/gconf/
[02:55] <gluonman> Thank you, badfish
[02:55] <Ademan> Chris_Foster: and all it takes is       `shred filename` to get it going
[02:55] <Chris_Foster> Ademan: you mean in the console?
[02:56] <Ademan> yes
[02:56] <Chris_Foster> Ademan: thats perfect, works for exactly my needs. Thanks
[02:56] <Ademan> no problem
[02:56] <kwyjibo> airtonix, k. i'll read up on that
[02:56] <danger_> #goiania
[02:57] <Ademan> you might check the man page for it (you probably already know, but `man shred` )  you'll see different options like how many times it will overwrite the file, usually it does a certain number of passes of random data then a pass of zeros
[02:57] <badfish> 360 controller with prboom?
[02:57] <airtonix> kwyjibo, another interesting command to use is this (it will list dataz about metacity keys) : gconftool-2 -R /apps/metacity

[03:03] <Jordan_U> !hi | ink1
[03:03] <ink1> I am currently experiencing some issues getting java to function under mozilla firefox
[03:03] <badfish> 360 controller with prboom? anyone?
[03:03] <DCPom> ink1, i just helped someone with this
[03:03] <Jordan_U> ink1: Have you installed the java firefox plugin?
[03:03] <DCPom> ink1, sudo apt-get install sun-java6-plugin
[03:04] <ink1> tried both, tried symlinking the java-6 and java-5 shared libraries too
[03:04] <Deltus> mmm, loves me some apt-get
[03:04] <ink1> I do not seem to have the java-sun-plugin
[03:04] <airtonix> badfish, does your controller work with anything on ubuntu ?
[03:04] <ink1> I do not seem to have the sun--java6plugin
[03:04] <ink1> ...
[03:04] <DCPom> ink1, it's sun-java6-plugin
[03:04] <DCPom> ah
[03:04] <ink1> *sun-java6-plugin
[03:04] <bobertdos> ink1:  What all is listed under about:plugins in Firefox?
[03:04] <ink1> I know
[03:04] <ink1> nothing related to java atm
[03:05] <ink1> OpenJDK icedtea and regular icedtea does not work
[03:05] <badfish> yes
[03:05] <badfish> my emulators
[03:05] <DCPom> ink1, did you or didn't you install the plugin?
[03:05] <airtonix> badfish, and have you looked at the help.ubuntu .com/community pages yet ? or searched some of the common ubuntu help blogs
[03:05] <badfish> jscalibrator
[03:05] <bobertdos>  ink1: Where have you tried creating your symlinks?
[03:05] <badfish> everything except prboom
[03:05] <ink1> I tried both
[03:05] <AlNahar> helppppppppp
[03:05] <badfish> i've googled, i've search the forums
[03:05] <ink1> sudo ln -s /usr/lib/jvm/java-5-sun/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin.so
[03:05] <ink1> oh
[03:05] <ink1> OH
[03:05] <AlNahar> im having problems with flash player, after i hit play, when there is audio, it starts locking up firefox
[03:05] <ink1> lol
[03:05] <FloodBot2> ink1: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[03:05] <badfish> i've ran prboom as root and i still can't use my 360 controller with it
[03:06] <ink1> I am under x64
[03:06] <airtonix> guys, for the sake of others trying to follow the conversation....prefix msgs with the person nick to whom you are talking to.
[03:06] <bobertdos> !flash64 | ink1
[03:06] <AlNahar> i dont have a amd64
[03:06] <ink1> ty
[03:07] <airtonix> badfish, then have you tried contacting the prboom developers?
[03:07] <bobertdos> AlNahar: Usually, this is due to libflashsupport. It's just a very unstable library.
[03:07] <gluonman> badfish, I'm using DVDFab HD Decryptor to rip my No Country For Old Men to my external, which has 21 GBs available. The DVD itself is just under 7 GBs but it's telling me that there's not enough disk space for me to write to. Do you know what gives?
[03:07] <AlNahar> well, when i had pulseaudio installed earlier, after i installed libflashsupport it fixed it
[03:07] <AlNahar> but now after removing pulseaudio
[03:07] <AlNahar> it doesn't fix it
[03:08] <badfish> gluonman: try ripping to your hdd and copying it to the external
[03:08] <bobertdos> AlNahar: that's because libflashsupport is designed to add support for Pulse.
[03:08] <gluonman> badfish, my HDD has less than 5 GBs of available space.
[03:09] <lbo_ken> bye all got to go
[03:09] <AlNahar> bobertdos: ah ok, but im still having problems even without pulse of flash locking after i hit play
[03:09] <kwyjibo> airtonix, Jordan_U, Ademan. problem fixed. thanks
[03:09] <airtonix> gluonman, have you looked through the config files for your dvd ripping software to make sure its not actually ripping to your hdd and not your external?
[03:09] <badfish> gluonman: your system is too old
[03:09] <DCPom> !away lbo_ken
[03:09] <enzotib> gluonman, the external is FAT32?
[03:09] <badfish> gluonman: probably a memory problem somewhere
[03:09] <DCPom> !away > lbo_ken
[03:09] <gluonman> badfish, my system isn't too old.
[03:09] <gluonman> enzotib, it's NTFS.
[03:09] <badfish> gluonman: it is if you've only got 5 gb left
[03:10] <airtonix> badfish, your logic in flawed sorry
[03:10] <gluonman> badfish, that says nothing about age. More like usage.
[03:10] <bobertdos> AlNahar: The one thing we like to check before we do anything is that you only have one version of flash and/or gnash installed. So, what all is listed under about:plugins?
[03:10] <lbo_ken> i didnt send any  away message   as far as i know   i was leaving so i sayed bye to every one that all
[03:10] <fiara> Hi. does anyone know where to find a sound card driver for a IBM ThinkPad X31?
[03:10] <badfish> gluonman: mine's seen plenty of usage, i've never been down to less than 120 gb
[03:10] <gluonman> airtonix, I'm not sure, but I suspect that even when I've selected the folder on my external HDD, it's probably still ripping to my HDD, or at least thinking it is.
[03:10] <AlNahar> http://www.pastebin.ca/1224254
[03:11] <badfish> and that's when i only had one hdd editing audio for 2 different bands
[03:11] <cygoku> Is anyone here using the DUST theme from the Ubuntu Artwork Communtiy ?!?!?!?!
[03:11] <AlNahar> bobertdos: this all started when i switched to alsa from oss4(which i also switched to pulse audio at the same time)
[03:11] <gluonman> badfish, doesn't matter. Just because I have less than 5 Gigs left doesn't mean my system is old.
[03:11] <airtonix> gluonman, which program are you using?
[03:11] <badfish> gluonman: it means your system won't play a dvd
[03:11] <airtonix> badfish, more flawed logic there
[03:11] <gluonman> badfish, no, it means my system won't hold the space a DVD will take up.
[03:11] <kacong_> #malang
[03:12] <gluonman> airtonix, I'm using DVDFab HD Decryptor, which badfish suggested to me earlier.
[03:12] <airtonix> gluonman, i can only suggest you try some other programs.
[03:13] <iforigua> hi some one know how to reconfigure a remote control on a hp pavilon dv6xxx
[03:13] <airtonix> gluonman, is there a special reason why your using that one apart from the recommendation from badfish?
[03:13] <fiara> Can somebody help me find a sound card driver?
[03:13] <badfish> it works for me
[03:13] <badfish> with 1gb of ram
[03:13] <badfish> and a 2 year old cpu
[03:13] <gluonman> airtonix, true. I'll look around. But I did have a problem with movie player. But I'm not sure if it is specifically movie player. I was playing all DVDs fine before. And ripping most fine just by opening the DVD in folder view and copy/pasting to my desired folder. But ther are a few with stubborn CSS blocks. I used to be able to play them but not rip them, but now, after installing a bunch of DVD related things from synaptec, I can't even play
[03:13] <gluonman>  those ones.
[03:14] <AlNahar> bobertdos: any ideas?
[03:14] <badfish> got a specific name for a dvd?
[03:14] <bobertdos> AlNahar: I see, well since you already are using flash 10, (32-bit system, right?) I would suggest switching exclusively to either Pulse or ALSA. Check that everything is appropriately matched in System->Preferences->Sound.
[03:14] <badfish> a title even?
[03:14] <gluonman> airtonix, no other reason except that I'm just hoping something will work. So if someone gives me a suggestion, badfish or not, I'll try it.
[03:14] <gluonman> badfish, does the specific name of the DVD matter?
[03:14] <AlNahar> well, im trying to switch to exclusively alsa
[03:14] <badfish> yes
[03:14] <AlNahar> i dont know what im doing wrong
[03:14] <airtonix> gluonman, for a start have a look here : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DVD::Rip & https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/RippingDVDs
[03:14] <badfish> because if it's a specific dvd the protection will be the same from disc to disc
[03:15] <badfish> so if it works for me, my system is doing something yours isn't
[03:15] <gluonman> badfish, well it's No Country For Old Men by the Coen brothers.
[03:15] <badfish> i want that movie anyway
[03:15] <AlNahar> bobertdos: you mean like gnome-sound-properties?
[03:15] <gluonman> badfish, again, it has nothing to do with the system, perhaps some codec issues, possibly hardware differences as well.
[03:15] <bobertdos> AlNahar: So, everything is set to ALSA already?
[03:15] <AlNahar> yessir
[03:15] <badfish> no error message?
[03:15] <AlNahar> i am wondering if the problem is some oss thing with firefox?
[03:15] <Awsoonn> how can I grep a file and print out all the e-mail addresses that it finds? text file btw
[03:15] <AlNahar> im going to try removing alsa oss support and see what happens
[03:15] <badfish> you're not going dual boot by any chance?
[03:16] <gluonman> badfish, or No Country For Old Men is just really well encrypted. I've only had two DVDs that are this stubborn. The rest are a piece of cake.
[03:16] <gluonman> badfish, I'm not dual booting, but that doesn't really matter.
[03:16] <badfish> if it works in windows but not in linux it matters
[03:16] <badfish> i don't say things for no reason
[03:16] <airtonix> lol
[03:16] <SoulDust> server irc.undernet.net
[03:16] <airtonix>  /wave
[03:16] <zcat[1]> I'm rather amused by DVD's marked "CC" -- they generally don't mean Creative Commons...
[03:17] <gluonman> badfish, if it works in Windows but not in Linux, I'll just have to figure out how to make it work in LInux.
[03:17] <badfish> good luck
[03:17] <badfish> i've spent 4 years ripping dvds
[03:17] <bobertdos> AlNahar: Yeah, something probably broke in your config when you started uninstalling packages. I generally change as little with the sound packages as possible. I've had much better experience leaving them alone and just switching between them.
[03:17] <badfish> some are just encrypted by god
[03:17] <gluonman> badfish, that's nice. I've also been ripping them for quite some time. I just ran into a problem with this one.
[03:18] <AlNahar> k
[03:18] <badfish> well good luck
[03:18] <gluonman> thanks.

[03:21] <Siorai> Is the latest version of ubuntu 64-bit comptable? O.o
[03:21] <neeto> I have an eSATA harddrive that is automatically mounted when I turn my computer on. However, recently for some reason, it's been disconnecting itself after long periods of being connected... say, 12 hours after it's initially connected, it will stop responding. I can try to remount it, but when I do, it says that I must specify the filesystem type (it doesn't do this when it's working correctly, and specifying the fs type correctly doesn'
[03:21] <mynameistux> can I ask pc hardware related questions here, or is it strictly ubuntu only?
[03:21] <LonelyRacer> hi need help setting up ubuntu with my linksys print server
[03:22] <barette> un francophone dispo ici  ? xD
[03:22] <neeto> mynameistux: people here know a lot about hardware too, I'm sure, go ahead and ask
[03:22] <cygoku> Is anyone here using the DUST theme from the Ubuntu Artwork Communtiy ?!?!?!?!
[03:22] <mynameistux> you know how people say certain old computers will only recognise a HDD up to a certain size, why is that, or is it all FUD?
[03:23] <mynameistux> I have a computer from 2002, running ubuntu server, and I want to know if I can put a 1TB hdd into it
[03:23] <neeto> mynameistux: Windows has limitations for sure, but I don't know of any other limitations simply based on hardware.
[03:23] <bobertdos> mynameistux: It depends on the filesystem used. Older computer will generally have hard drives formatted with older, limited file systems.
[03:23] <mynameistux> so, its purely a windows related thing, I thought it might have somthing to do with the BIOS
[03:24] <mynameistux> it will prolly be fat32
[03:24] <LonelyRacer> how to connect ubuntu to a linksys print server?
[03:24] <neeto> mynameistux: I would be surprised if it had limitations, I am pretty sure, IDE is IDE, and SATA is SATA, regardless of size, therefore if a motherboard supports the standard, it should be able to support any size of HDD using that standard.
[03:24] <mynameistux> k, thx
[03:24] <neeto>  mynameistux: wait, don't format it in FAT32 though
[03:25] <mynameistux> ooookay, why
[03:25] <danbh_intrepid> mynameistux: the windows nt 5.x installer will refuse to install partitions larger than 20g as fat32, even though fat32 can support larger drives.  Maybe that fact has contributed to the rumors you hear
[03:25] <zcat[1]> really old bioses used to have issues with >1G drives IIRC.. but that was over ten years ago...
[03:25] <sb56637> hello all, anyone got any sources for debs for the final release of OpenOffice 3.0?
[03:25] <neeto> mynameistux: FAT32 does have limitations, I believe, I don't know what they are right off hand, but I am pretty sure there is some sort of size constraint on that FS
[03:26] <zcat[1]> Fat32 can't handle files >2G ?
[03:26] <Azhi_Dahaka> Hmm... the laptop just froze when playing a simple Quicktime trailer
[03:26] <danbh_intrepid> mynameistux: so that includes windows 2000/xp/vista
[03:26] <mynameistux> I remeber reading something about that, wikipedia has a table of various filesystems maximum file size, and maximium FS size
[03:26] <iforigua>  hi some one know how to reconfigure a remote control on a hp pavilon dv6xxx
[03:26] <neeto> mynameistux: but if you are running an ubuntu server which is probably using an ext3 filesystem, why would you want to use FAT32 instead of ext3?
[03:26] <zcat[1]> HAMMERFS ftw!!
[03:27] <zcat[1]> hammerfs doesn't really manage well on drives smaller than a TB
[03:27] <enzotib> FAT32 handle files until 4GB - 1byte
[03:27] <mynameistux> well, I might want to acces somthing dicercly with a windows pc, the chances are slim, but I may want to use windows for gaming one day
[03:27] <zcat[1]> Ahh.. 4G, 2G, whatever .. rather limiting when you want to play with DVD isos
[03:27] <mynameistux> so, I want to use somthing accesible to windows and lnx
[03:27] <neeto> mynameistux: You might just want to go with NTFS, FAT32 support is slow even on windows
[03:28] <zcat[1]> Linux handles NTFS pretty well these days.. ntfs-3g
[03:28] <mynameistux> aaah screw it, ext3, if I need to use windows, I will DL the ext3 thing for windows
[03:28] <mynameistux> I support open standereds, w00t, go me etc
[03:28] <enzotib> mynameistux, and windows can access ext2/3 with particular fs driver
[03:28] <neeto> mynameistux: good decision. keep it open
[03:28] <mynameistux> yeah, thats what I will get if I need to
[03:29] <xxploit__> mynameistux, alot of the big title games will work on wine
[03:29] <bobertdos> sb56637: The final release isn't available yet. I just checked last night and they're up to RC4. There is a deb available for that though.
[03:29] <mynameistux> yeah, but you never no what will come up
[03:29] <case^> with gfx acceleration?
[03:29] <xxploit__> yes
[03:29] <case^> for ati?
[03:29] <xxploit__> ati/nvidia
[03:29] <case^> :?
[03:29] <neil_d> if a card has support for Red Hat, can I assume the driver can be used by ubuntu ?
[03:30] <mynameistux> as I said, the chances of my using windows for gaming is slim, I will prolly virtualise, but I want to keep my options open
[03:30] <case^> :)
[03:30] <neeto> xxploit__: wine is nice, but running windows games in a native windows environment is so much less hassle, even though you do have to do have your fun within the constraints of the proprietary operating system
[03:30] <mynameistux> and, if I have a LAN party, someone using windows, might want to acces my server
[03:30] <mynameistux> neeto is right, but I don't want to pay for a windows licence
[03:30] <neeto> mynameistux: you should just try NTFS then
[03:31] <mynameistux> they can go and get the ext3 thing, its not my problem
[03:31] <zcat[1]> samba simply sees a 'filesystem' -- it doesn't give a fsck if the files are stored on ntfs or ext3 or fat32 ..
[03:31] <bobertdos> neil_d: That's probably not a perfectly safe assumption.
[03:31] <neeto> mynameistux: I don't (publicly) condone piracy, but who says you have to pay for anything these days? lol
[03:31] <mynameistux> yeah, I never pay for stuff, but when I am in a forum or on irc, I pretend I pay for stuff
[03:31] <neil_d> bobertdos: oh! rats, I was hoping it word work.
[03:31] <danbh_intrepid> mynameistux: you can serve files simply with apache...
[03:31] <zcat[1]> so if you want to share your files over the LAN it doesn't matter in the slightest what filesystem you use
[03:31] <neeto> mynameistux: good man. demonoid/usenet FTS
[03:32] <neeto> FTW*
[03:32] <bobertdos> neil_d: Although , the chances for that being true are relatively good for lots of cards.
[03:32] <mynameistux> when I say, heading over to amazon, I mean heading over to tpb
[03:32] <tritium> mynameistux: do NOT discuss piracy here.
[03:32] <mynameistux> right, amazon for all my softwares
[03:32] <mynameistux> and apche seems to be the way to go, possible SAMBA
[03:33] <Azhi_Dahaka> Hmm... the laptop just froze when playing a simple Quicktime trailer
[03:33] <neeto> lol, well man, NTFS works beautifully on linux, and it obviously works well in a native windows environment too
[03:33] <AlNahar> bobertdos: you there?
[03:33] <AlNahar> as i thought, flash player is trying to use oss
[03:33] <neil_d> bobertdos: good to here.  been looking for a multi-port sata card, the ones I have found that do say they support linux, all seem to support only red-hat.
[03:33] <AlNahar> oh wait, nevermind
[03:33] <mynameistux> Azhi_Dahaka: are you using vlc?
[03:33] <neeto> mynameistux: if you are going the route of APACHE then the filesystem won't matter because it will all be done over HTTP
[03:33] <Azhi_Dahaka> nope
[03:33] <AlNahar> when i disable oss, flash player works fine
[03:33] <Azhi_Dahaka> mplayer-plugin for firefox
[03:33] <meoblast001> please help
[03:33] <meoblast001> how do you remove a file with a ~ at the end of it
[03:34] <neeto> mynameistux: and samba is a good choice too, since it facilitates the sharing of files between linux and windows computers
[03:34] <AlNahar> bobertdos: how do i allow alsa-oss to work but not let flash player use it?
[03:34] <AlNahar> that is apparently what the problem is
[03:34] <bobertdos> AlNahar: Yeah, I was going to say..........Flash 10 isn't even supposed to be capable of supporting OSS.
[03:34] <neil_d> meoblast001: quote the name
[03:34] <zcat[1]> neeto: actually I've seen a few causes where ntfs got 'slightly' corrupted (guy dropped his laptop, etc) and Windows simply could not read it, not even as a slave drive on another machine. Linux handles it just fine apart from a few files that really were damaged.
[03:34] <meoblast001> neil_d: i did
[03:34] <AlNahar> bobertdos: it seems when i remove all the oss modules from being loaded and flash works fine
[03:34] <mynameistux> with SAMBA, can I share files that are still on the harddive to other computers on the network, or upload them to the server?
[03:34] <chmac> Most stuff in hardy-backports should be safe to install right?
[03:34] <zcat[1]> neeto: so I would argue that Linux handles ntfs 'better' than windows does
[03:35] <neil_d> meoblast001: what was the result ?
[03:35] <neeto> mynameistux: well since your computer would BE the server, there would be no uploading process, things would just be available from the network.
[03:35] <neeto> zcat[1]: not surprising, linux does quite a few thousand things better than windows does
[03:35] <bobertdos> AlNahar: I don't think there's a good way to do that.......unless you could somehow create a custom alsconf, but that's not something I have a lot of experience with.
[03:35] <mynameistux> no, I have an ancient compy running ubuntu server, to do my file serving
[03:36] <meoblast001> neil_d: nvm.. my desktop isnt updating lol
[03:36] <Chris_Foster> Hi, I was recently suggested shred to clear data, but in the man page it says it doesn't support EXT3, is their a program that does?
[03:36] <AlNahar> bobertdos: i mean, it seems if there are oss modules loaded, flash player has problems
[03:36] <w900i> hello
[03:36] <bobertdos> AlNahar: right
[03:36] <Azhi_Dahaka> So... no idea?
[03:36] <neeto> mynameistux: well either way, putting things on the server would make them availiable to the network if you have the permissions set up that way.
[03:36] <LinuxMan92> I have a couple simple questions.
[03:36] <neil_d> meoblast001: so it is gone ?
[03:36] <LinuxMan92> Is there any way to improve the speed of Ubuntu on a computer with 256ram?
[03:36] <chmac> zcat[1]: Are you the same zcat of #centos fame? Have you defected? Or were you poly all along? :)
[03:36] <zcat[1]> neeto: yes, but it's always amused my that linux handles slightly damaged ntfs better than windows does, openoffice can read slightly damaged DOCs that MSOffice chokes on, etc..
[03:36] <neeto> LinuxMan92: Yes, get more ram.
[03:37] <LinuxMan92> neeto
[03:37] <zcat[1]> chmac: no, different zcat
[03:37] <LinuxMan92> i was hoping for a different solution
[03:37] <Chris_Foster> LinuxMan92: there are many ways, try searching google for a list
[03:37] <LinuxMan92> ;)
[03:37] <mynameistux> my preference would be being able to open my nerwork places in windows, and the equivilant in ubuntu, and see everything on the server, and things being shared from HDD's on neetwork connected computers
[03:37] <mynameistux> is that possible
[03:37] <mynameistux> ?
[03:37] <danbh_intrepid> LinuxMan92: use xubuntu, and yes, get more ram.  I'll probably only cost ya $20
[03:37] <Mrfo> i have a semi dead remote login thats running a terminal process that i need to continue. is there a way to send it to run in the background if i can't 'ctrl-z' onto it
[03:37] <bobertdos> Chris_Foster: the forums recommend wipe
[03:37] <danbh_intrepid> LinuxMan92: *It'll
[03:37] <neeto> mynameistux: you should go for samba in that case
[03:37] <mynameistux> so, is it easy to configure
[03:37] <chmac> zcat[1]: Arg, I see, that other zcat has a slightly sharp tongue in my experience :)
[03:37] <Chris_Foster>  bobertdos: wipe? Okay, thanks
[03:38] <LinuxMan92> well the computer isnt mine therefore i dont really want to invest money into it
[03:38] <mynameistux> LinuxMan92: more RAM is realy really cheap
[03:38] <zcat[1]> chmac: there are a number of zcat's around.. I'm not the only one
[03:38] <mynameistux> LinuxMan92: you can double it for like 20 bucks, and then keep the RAM when you give it back to its owner
[03:39] <neeto> mynameistux: it's not bad, but it does take work, just like most things on linux...
[03:39] <Chris_Foster> LinuxMan92: That is a really common question, it saves time for all of us if you try google first, then your not re-inventing the wheel again
[03:39] <mynameistux> so, is it configured by editing the .samba file somewhere
[03:39] <mynameistux> ?
[03:39] <Mrfo> i have a semi dead remote login thats running a terminal process that i need to continue. is there a way to send it to run in the background if i can't 'ctrl-z' onto it
[03:40] <chmac> So, backports are relatively safe to install right? I'm not about to bork my seyste? :)
[03:40] <neeto> mynameistux: it's configured through a config file somewhere. I don't mean to be blunt, but you should stop asking about it and go play with it. It's free and you have nothing to lose.
[03:40] <chmac> system
[03:40] <LinuxMan92> Chris_Foster: I understand that however I was wondering if in the settings there was a way to disable certain effects that would speed it up
[03:40] <zcat[1]> bah, easiest way to 'configure' samba is right-click on folders and share them just like in 'doze .. why make things harder than they need be?!!
[03:40] <mynameistux> you have a point
[03:40] <mynameistux> *ssh's into server, and breaks somthing*
[03:41] <mynameistux> *reinstalls and gets it right this time*
[03:41] <mynameistux> w00t
[03:41] <danbh_intrepid> zcat[1]: dont you still need to setup samba users for samba to work?
[03:41] <lordars> hi
[03:41] <zcat[1]> danbh_intrepid: yeah, the first time you share a folder it goes and installs samba for you.
[03:42] <lordars> what is new in intrepid ivex?
[03:42] <tritium> lordars: #ubuntu+1 for Intrepid questions
[03:43] <zcat[1]> danbh_intrepid: I used to know how to set up samba via the /etc/samba/smb.conf file but ubuntu just makes it so easy. I'm lazy. I do things the easy way.
[03:43] <flemco> quit
[03:43] <mynameistux> bye all
[03:44] <acostapc> nice
[03:45] <tnnc> can someone suggest an motioring software to install that is easy to setup and will monitor networks in other locations and will install on ubuntu 6.06 or 6.10 thanks
[03:46] <zcat[1]> tnnc: nagios is the gold standard but not sure it's 'easy to set up'
[03:46] <perlsyntax> I try to run a shell script in my home dir how can i get it to work?
[03:47] <perlsyntax> i try to run AA game
[03:47] <perlsyntax> anyone
[03:47] <zcat[1]> perlsyntax: chmod a+x foo.sh and then ./foo.sh
[03:47] <tnnc> zcat[1] ok thanks
[03:48] <Geoffrey2> ok, java...is there an open source version for Ubuntu, and does it work fairly well?
[03:48] <perlsyntax> it not working
[03:48] <zcat[1]> Geoffrey2: yes, java went open source, and it still works as well as it ever did
[03:49] <zcat[1]> !notworking
[03:49] <perlsyntax> i try that not working
[03:49] <Azhi_Dahaka> I'M SICK OF THIS CRAP
[03:49] <case^> take it back for a refund
[03:49] <DCPom> !language | Azhi_Dahaka
[03:49] <zcat[1]> perlsyntax: not working how?
[03:49] <Indoctrine> Orly?
[03:50] <perlsyntax> i try ./armyops
[03:50] <AlNahar> bobertdos: so how can that be, if flash cannot use oss?
[03:50] <Azhi_Dahaka> Why on earth does the system decides that it doesn't likes my router?
[03:50] <perlsyntax> after i di that
[03:50] <Azhi_Dahaka> damn, it's frustrating using Ubuntu with wireless
[03:50] <tritium> Azhi_Dahaka: language, please
[03:50] <zcat[1]> perlsyntax: ls -l armyops ?
[03:50] <perlsyntax> ok i try that
[03:50] <perlsyntax> i think it in root
[03:51] <zcat[1]> Azhi_Dahaka: get a well supported shipset and it's as easy as 'plug it in, choose network'
[03:51] <DCPom> perlsyntax, is it armyops.sh?
[03:51] <Indoctrine> Will things auto mount if I'm using Ubuntu server or do I have to manually mount them?
[03:51] <Azhi_Dahaka> yeah, right
[03:51] <perlsyntax> nope
[03:51] <tritium> Azhi_Dahaka: it's true
[03:51] <bobertdos> AlNahar: I don't really know, unfortunately. Does Pulse and ALSA just not work for you?
[03:51] <Azhi_Dahaka> anyway... can anyone help me solve this issue?
[03:51] <tritium> Azhi_Dahaka: which wireless card/chipset do you have?  And, have you read the wiki pages for guidance?
[03:52] <Azhi_Dahaka> i have
[03:52] <Indoctrine> Mine's like that, Azhi_Dahaka. I've only had problems with it in other distros
[03:52] <Geoffrey2> zcat[1], would that be Sun's java implementation, or a different one?
[03:52] <Azhi_Dahaka> and it was working fine
[03:52] <AlNahar> i tried using pulse and it has distortion
[03:52] <DCPom> Geoffrey2, sun's is fine
[03:52] <Azhi_Dahaka> until it decided to disconnect from my router
[03:52] <Azhi_Dahaka> thing is, that i can connect to other networks
[03:52] <perlsyntax> ash: ./armyops.sh: No such file or directory
[03:52] <Indoctrine> !mount
[03:52] <bobertdos> Indoctrine: Things will still automount as long as there are proper entries in fstab, of course.
[03:52] <perlsyntax> odd
[03:52] <carlos> hi there, little question. i have a acer aspire one, currently running xubuntu 8.10 it seems i can only have 800 x 600 screen resolution
[03:52] <DCPom> perlsyntax, are you sure it's a shell script?
[03:52] <Indoctrine> bobertdos: Do I have to put in my own entries? :\
[03:52] <Azhi_Dahaka> as i'm right now, using my neighbour's open wifi
[03:52] <zcat[1]> Geoffrey2: sun open-sourced their java afaik.. not sure which version this applies to but the open source once now is genuine sun java
[03:53] <dhgwill> ack! i b0rked my system by upgrading to the intrepid version of libselinux1
[03:53] <Indoctrine> !intrepid | dhgwill
[03:53] <dhgwill> is there any way to use the livecd to reinstall the proper version?
[03:53] <bobertdos> Indoctrine: I wouldn't think so, but you might want to read the file just to be sure.
[03:53] <Azhi_Dahaka> but SOMEHOW it decided to NOT connect with my router... just for the kicks of it
[03:53] <Indoctrine> bobertdos: Okay, which file?
[03:53] <zcat[1]> perlsyntax: what's the file called? Is it in your current directory or did you perhaps download it to the Desktop?
[03:53] <dhgwill> Indoctrine: i haven't actually upgraded, so i don't need support with +1
[03:53] <perlsyntax> armyops250linux.run i install it
[03:53] <perlsyntax> how can i do that
[03:53] <dhgwill> i upgraded a single package using dpkg -i (which i assumed would warn me about deps)
[03:54] <bobertdos> Indoctrine: /etc/fstab
[03:54] <Angie> any one tried Nmap install
[03:54] <tritium> dhgwill: which you should not have done
[03:54] <perlsyntax> mmm
[03:54] <dhgwill> tritium: yeah, hindsight, etc etc
[03:54] <dhgwill> ;-)
[03:54] <perlsyntax> i put it in my home file
[03:54] <Azhi_Dahaka> http://pastebin.com/f60ce782b
[03:55] <danbh_intrepid> dhgwill: the package needs to have those dependencies setup for that to happen.  They usually aren't for cross repo systems...
[03:55] <Azhi_Dahaka> It's working via nsdiswrapper and for 2 days was working ALMOST ok
[03:55] <zcat[1]> perlsyntax: ok, try 'chmod a+x armyops250linux.run' and then try 'sudo ./armyops250linux.run' to run it (each command typed without the quotes around it..
[03:55] <dhgwill> danbh_intrepid: i just downloaded libselinux1-vv.deb and ran sudo dpkg -i
[03:55] <dhgwill> it's not really a cross repo system
[03:55] <Indoctrine> bobertdos: I'll keep that in mind, expect more questions, I'm setting up my server today.
[03:55] <dhgwill> for a little background, and because i've got plenty of time if i have to reinstall
[03:55] <danbh_intrepid> dhgwill: I think you can use the livecd, mount your root system, chroot into that mount point, and then install the correct package
[03:55] <dhgwill> i was trying to upgrade vim to the intrepid version
[03:56] <dhgwill> danbh_intrepid: Aha! thanks, that's a great point.
[03:56] <zcat[1]> perlsyntax: unfortunately 'binary installers' go against the Ubuntu way of doing things so results may be inconsistyent
[03:56] <lordars> hola?
[03:56] <perlsyntax> ./armyops250linux.run: Permission denied
[03:57] <dhgwill> on a different note, 8.04.1 livecd is beautiful
[03:57] <perlsyntax> odd
[03:57] <TGman> what is a good way to recover data from a bin file
[03:57] <zcat[1]> perlsyntax: weird. You did do the chmod thing first?
[03:57] <TGman> ?
[03:57] <perlsyntax> yes
[03:58] <sleepster> is 8.10 beta worth trying or should i wait 21 days to do a distro updrade
[03:58] <perlsyntax> i not sure what i do
[03:59] <jrib> sleepster: no problem in trying it with virtualization or a live cd, but if you depend on your system working I would not upgrade it until it is released
[03:59] <zcat[1]> perlsyntax: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AmericasArmy suggests typing "sudo sh ./armyops<version>-linux.run" to run the installer, then ''armyops' to run the same itself
[03:59] <zcat[1]> *game
[03:59] <coleosis> Is there a way to disable touchpad clicking?
[03:59] <Indoctrine> What does a USB flash drive mount as in fstab?
[04:00] <jrib> Indoctrine: nothing special about it.  Same as a partition on your hard drive
[04:00] <Indoctrine> jrib: Well, I don't see it in my fstab, only sda1, sda5 and scd0
[04:00] <Azhi_Dahaka> It's ridiculous
[04:00] <Azhi_Dahaka> how could it just decide to NOT connect to a router?
[04:00] <sleepster> jrib: defiantly rely on it was just wondering if any of the new features were worth not waiting for
[04:00] <Azhi_Dahaka> and pidgin just crashes when no network connection available... that's nice
[04:00] <jrib> Indoctrine: nothing gets added to your fstab unless you add it (after initial install)
[04:01] <sploozer> for a simple conditional statement how can I check to see if a process or PID is still alive?  for example....if [ps -elf | grep PID = EXISTS then do X else do Y fi ;
[04:01] <Indoctrine> jrib: Oh... well... will my USB flash drive just plug and play in Ubuntu server?
[04:01] <tritium> Azhi_Dahaka: #ubuntu-offtopic for random chatter, complaining.  This channel is specifically for support questions.
[04:01] <jrib> sleepster: no feature is worth me not having access to my main system.  I have intrepid in virtualbox though so I can keep up with developments
[04:02] <Azhi_Dahaka> I was asking for support but well, seems like it's not a bug but a feature!
[04:02] <Azhi_Dahaka> I was asked to post my chipset, and I did
[04:02] <Azhi_Dahaka> I was asked to expose my problem and I did
[04:02] <jrib> Indoctrine: I'm guessing not, but I don't know.  I also don't know what you should install to have it work
[04:02] <tritium> Azhi_Dahaka: I asked you for it, and you never replied to me.
[04:02] <Azhi_Dahaka> and then... well, nothing

[04:04] <Doc8404> hmm...
[04:04] <danbh_intrepid> dhgwill: your welcome!

[04:12] <jrib> egoflux: fix your attitude please
[04:12] <MyName> can i ssh to my linux box, then start ubunt's gnome from a widnows machine?
[04:12] <MyName> how can i do that?
[04:13] <Azhi_Dahaka> You need some sort of VNC server
[04:14] <MyName> taht runs on both ubuntu and my windows machine?
[04:14] <MyName> is vnc the only way to go?
[04:14] <_Zeus_> the only way to go for?
[04:14] <MyName> for using my remote ubuntu session's gnome on my windows machine
[04:14] <genii> MyName: Theres also X forwarding and also freenx
[04:14] <dhgwill> danbh_intrepid, thanks a whole ton everything is back to normal. i can't believe i didn't think of chroot... it's actually a utility i've very rarely used
[04:14] <MyName> i log into it using putty, then launch gnome from there, is that possibly
[04:15] <Azhi_Dahaka> Which where slower, AFAIR
[04:15] <MyName> but can it hanlde something as big as gnome ?
[04:15] <_Zeus_> MyName: i don't hitnk so... but you can launch single applications
[04:15] <MyName> the X window it  mean
[04:15] <MyName> ic
[04:15] <tritium> MyName: you'd need an X server running on your Windows machine if you want to do it that way.
[04:15] <MyName> wierd
[04:15] <MyName> yes
[04:15] <MyName> i know about x server
[04:15] <FloodBot2> MyName: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[04:15] <tritium> !enter | MyName
[04:15] <MyName> is that effective?
[04:15] <MyName> ok
[04:16] <danbh_intrepid> dhgwill: the directions are actually classic for fixing a broken alpha testing system.  If one upgrade breaks it, you use that strat to update till a fix comes through
[04:16] <genii> MyName: If you launch X from insode an ssh login it doesn't run graphically over the ssh connection usually but rather locally in the box you are ssh'd into
[04:16] <MyName> genii, by X you mean the X window server?
[04:16] <genii> MyName: Yes
[04:17] <MyName> MyName, i thoguht i launch X on my windows machine, then launch apps from inside my putty's connection
[04:17] <MyName> then it'll display it graphically
[04:17] <Azhi_Dahaka> hmmm... so, nobody knows why is the network so picky?
[04:17] <dhgwill> danbh_intrepid, i'm only asking because you seem like you might know: is there an IRC channel for awesomeWM or tiling WMs in general?
[04:17] <Azhi_Dahaka> network card?
[04:17] <genii> MyName: That is X forwarding
[04:17] <MyName> genii, well isnt that what i need?
[04:17] <ninjafury> whats is the equivalent of /etc/kde4/xserv/xserver.conf in XFCE??
[04:17] <danbh_intrepid> dhgwill: heh, I only know a few random things, and thats not one of them  : )   sorry
[04:18] <genii> MyName: No, you asked "can I start ubuntu gnome from inside my ssh session"
[04:18] <_Zeus_> MyName: X forwarding is usually used to launch single apps
[04:18] <oric> hello ,all
[04:18] <morth_> Anyone know how to setup a  FTP server/.
[04:18] <_Zeus_> you asked to start a whole desktop, MyName
[04:18] <morth_> !ftp
[04:18] <genii> MyName: In the other case the X server is local and the X applications are forwarded over the ssh into it
[04:18] <MyName> ok i see. so i can use x forwarding to launch single apps, but to luanch gnome then it won't work?
[04:18] <georgy_28> !proftp
[04:19] <genii> MyName: Now you are getting the idea
[04:20] <MyName_> what is that windows program that can simulate linux?
[04:20] <MyName_> something win ?
[04:20] <Azhi_Dahaka> ok, I'm sorry if I was kind of a dick later... now, can someone help me with my issue?
[04:20] <MyName_> cygwin yes
[04:20] <MyName_> what is cygwin used for?
[04:20] <genii> Not for running X
[04:21] <Mrfo> Cygwin can do that fine
[04:21] <MyName_> ok
[04:21] <genii> Mrfo: Well, technically it can be done but terribly inefficient
[04:21] <MyName_> but cygwin is not the same as X window right?
[04:21] <xchh> if i want to link to an application in ubuntu's repositories how do i do that?
[04:21] <MyName_> X window only supports running linux GUI stuff over windwos
[04:21] <Mrfo> what are you trying to do exactly?
[04:22] <genii> MyName_: You want something like XMing on the windows side
[04:22] <Mrfo> i use the cygwin x windows server all the time. it runs just as well as Xming
[04:22] <MyName_> ok i want to ssh to my linux box using putty in windows, then once i logged in, then i want to launch gnome and use linux graphically just like as if i'm sitting in front of my linux box. not just launch single apps (which i already know how to do suing Star Windows)
[04:22] <MyName_> not star-windwos, starnet X windows
[04:23] <Mrfo> MyName, you want XMing + XMDCP
[04:23] <xchh> i want to launch an application to install a program from a web page, how do i do this?
[04:23] <MyName_> this one http://www.starnet.com/products/xwin32/
[04:23] <MyName_> what is XMING
[04:23] <MyName_> ?
[04:23] <Mrfo> xming is a lightweight X server that will connect to remote clients via X11 forwarded SSH sessions or XMDCP
[04:24] <Mrfo> (for windows)
[04:24] <MyName_> what XMDCP
[04:24] <xchh> let me rephrase- i have an application in the ubuntu repository- for instance xchat-gnome and i want to link to it so a user can easily install it by clicking a link, anybody know how to do that? I'm pretty certain such a feature exists in ubuntu.
[04:24] <MyName_> can i use http://www.starnet.com/products/xwin32/
[04:25] <jrib> xchh: checkout the apturl package
[04:25] <michalski> hey I'm having a bit of a problem with the encrypted private directory function, the command: 'encryptfs-setup-private' isnt working...(command not found)
[04:25] <_Zeus_> michalski: have you installed the needed packages?
[04:25] <xchh> jrib: thanks (is that in ubuntu by default?)
[04:26] <michalski> yes
[04:26] <boum1> im thinking about getting a asus xonar d2, not sure if i can will it work with herron ??
[04:26] <_Zeus_> michalski: isn't that in intrepid?
[04:26] <michalski> _Zeus_: ....pardon?
[04:26] <morth_> how do i install this "yum -y install vsftpd system-config-vsftpd"
[04:26] <_Zeus_> michalski: are you using intrepid?
[04:26] <_Zeus_> morth_: sudo apt-get install ...
[04:27] <tritium> morth_: ubuntu/debian don't use yum
[04:27] <michalski> _Zeus_: what is intrepid?
[04:27] <jrib> xchh: possibly.  Don't know though
[04:27] <_Zeus_> michalski: never mind
[04:27] <xchh> jrib: it is
[04:27] <genii> morth_: yum is not the native package install method for Ubuntu
[04:27] <_Zeus_> michalski: all it says is command not found?  what packages did you install?
[04:27] <morth_> _Zeus_ sudo apt-get  install vsftpd system-config-vsftpd ??
[04:27] <_Zeus_> !info vsftpd
[04:27] <_Zeus_> morth_: yes
[04:28] <michalski> The following NEW packages will be automatically installed:
[04:28] <michalski>   libecryptfs0 libpkcs11-helper1 libtspi1
[04:28] <michalski> The following NEW packages will be installed:

[04:28] <FloodBot2> michalski: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[04:28] <m1dn1ght> Hey guys.  I'm having some trouble getting my internal mic working on my laptop.  It appears to be connected as I can hear it through the speakers when I tap/blow into it.  Sound card is (if relevant) 00:0f.0 Audio device: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] Azalia Audio Controller
[04:28] <michalski> sorry :)
[04:28] <Kattollikisd> how do I change the way to see my icon in my desktop, I want to put then in the right not in the other side?
[04:28] <indian_munnda> can anyone tell me how can i just prevent my monitor from being powered off in few min while it is idle????????
[04:28] <morth_> sudo apt-get  install vsftpd system-config-vsftpd
[04:28] <morth_> morth@morth-desktop:~$ sudo apt-get install vsftpd system-config-vsftpd
[04:28] <morth_> Reading package lists... Done
[04:28] <morth_> Building dependency tree
[04:28] <morth_> Reading state information... Done
[04:28] <_Zeus_> morth_: yes?
[04:28] <FloodBot2> morth_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[04:28] <morth_> vsftpd is already the newest version.
[04:28] <morth_> E: Couldn't find package system-config-vsftpd
[04:29] <morth_> thats the error i got
[04:29] <genii> morth_: Just the vsftpd part is needed. It contains a post install routine which installs configuration files with safe values
[04:29] <michalski> (Zeus, see post above)
[04:29] <_Zeus_> morth_: that config package doesn't exist in ubuntu
[04:30] <_Zeus_> michalski: yeah, i'm seieng it
[04:30] <morth_> OMG i just want to setup a fucking FTP server how hard is this lol
[04:30] <_Zeus_> !language | morth_
[04:30] <indian_munnda> can anyone tell me how can i just prevent my monitor from being powered off in few min while it is idle????????
[04:30] <_Zeus_> michalski: could you go to ~/Private and do a ls
[04:30] <michalski> _Zeus_: sure
[04:30] <morth_> there is no way to setup a ftp its a lie FTP = MYTH
[04:31] <tritium> morth_: calm down
[04:31] <genii> morth_: It's as difficult as intalling vsftpd then editing it's config file to suit
[04:31] <_Zeus_> michalski: ty
[04:31] <hellhound_> somehow i messed up the delete key to where it brings up the system monitor any time I press the delete key.. I was trying to get <alt><control>delete to bring up the system monitor... but instead it just went to the delete key.... can someone help me return my delete key back to the way it was?
[04:31] <_Zeus_> hellhound_: go to where you set that and reset it?
[04:31] <michalski> _Zeus_: no such directory :|
[04:31] <_Zeus_> michalski: ok, hang on plz
[04:31] <_Zeus_> !private
[04:31] <_Zeus_> dang?

[04:32] <_Zeus_> michalski: as far as i am aware, the encryped folder thing doesn't show up until ubuntu 8.10

[04:35] <indian_munnda> _Zeus_: can you tell me how can i just prevent my monitor from being powered off in few min while it is idle????????
[04:35] <redvamp128> It is currently working but using ALSA mixer...
[04:35] <_Zeus_> indian_munnda: try system>preferences > power management
[04:35] <zhou> maybe something goes wrong
[04:35] <hellhound_> _Zeus_, i used the commands "gconftool-2 -t str --set /apps/metacity/global_keybindings/run_command_9 "<Control><Alt>Delete" and gconftool-2 -t str --set /apps/metacity/keybinding_commands/command_9 "gnome-system-monitor"
[04:36] <_Zeus_> hellhound_: yeah, i heard you, i don't know how to fix it
[04:36] <indian_munnda> _Zeus_: i did that to never in both the options but it didn't worked.
[04:36] <hellhound_> _Zeus_, ok
[04:36] <_Zeus_> um
[04:36] <zhou> what ok?
[04:37] <user16> open
[04:38] <indian_munnda> _Zeus_: any ideas??
[04:38] <w900i> hello.... y when loading page on ubuntu.. my pc restart?
[04:38] <_Zeus_> indian_munnda: no
[04:38] <jsq> hi, i am trying to remove a lot of packages installed with kubuntu-desktop, i removed that package, but all the other automatcally installed ones were not removed
[04:38] <_Zeus_> indian_munnda: if you set all those to 0, i have no idea
[04:38] <_Zeus_> *never
[04:39] <jsq> i stripped all the garbage from /var/log/apt/term.log into a neat list
[04:39] <indian_munnda> _Zeus_: yup i set those all to never.
[04:39] <jsq> can i feed that into apt-get remove?
[04:39] <_Zeus_> jsq: i guess
[04:39] <zhou>      set all those to 1
[04:39] <wiseman> Hey everyone
[04:39] <jsq> how would i do that?
[04:39] <_Zeus_> jsq: while read LINE; do sudo apt-get remove $LINE; done < filename
[04:39] <wiseman> I'm having strange ubuntu weirdness in trying to read a windows partition, can anyone help me out with that?
[04:40] <jsq> _Zeus_ thanks, i iwill try that out
[04:40] <_Zeus_> jsq: watch out, that will read the file line-by-line and remove them all
[04:40] <_Zeus_> jsq: if you want it to not ask you, use apt-get -y instead
[04:40] <indian_munnda> zhou: what does 1 means?
[04:40] <jsq> ok, that's what i iwant, i will just say yes, to be sure to each one
[04:40] <_Zeus_> jsq: fine, that should work hen
[04:40] <jsq> or whatever. here goes
[04:40] <zhou> 1 means strat it
[04:41] <joshual> hey folks, is there a repository for flock yet?
[04:41] <genii> jsq: If you have them all on single lines with 4 tabs between and the word "remove" at the end you can just do: sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade             where my-packages is the file name
[04:41] <wiseman> Is anyone good with viewing windows partitions in ubuntu?  I really need some help.
 zhou: what does 1 means?
[04:41] <_Zeus_> genii: that's a possibility, but I don't think you need 4 tabs
[04:41] <_Zeus_> i think just a ' ' is enough
[04:41] <_Zeus_> wiseman: shoot
[04:41] <zhou> 1 means strat it
[04:41] <wiseman> well check this out
 zhou: 1 means strat it
[04:42] <genii> _Zeus_: The --get-selections uses 4 so to be safe thats what I also recommended
[04:42] <_Zeus_> genii: oh, k
[04:42] <vilhelm> hello... I have removed my hosts.deny from Adept but the hosts.deny file is still in my etc folder:( how can I remove it?
[04:42] <_Zeus_> vilhelm: rm filename?
[04:42] <wiseman> I put the windows partition in fstab, and it used to work but I haven't tried to get it in a month or so
[04:42] <legend2440> hellhound_: in terminal type gconf-editor and browse to /apps/metacity/global_keybindings and disable it
[04:42] <indian_munnda> zhou: got it, actually i was viewig movie in totem and its just switching off the monitor in every ten min
[04:42] <wiseman> so I tried the other day
[04:42] <zhou> video films
[04:42] <vilhelm> _Zeus_: but shouldn't it be removed already when i removed it from adept ?
[04:42] <wiseman> so I do sudo mount -a and I get this error:
[04:43] <_Zeus_> vilhelm: you should have used remove --purge
[04:43] <indian_munnda> zhou: yes
[04:43] <jsq> btw, the only reason i'm doing this, is because after installing kubuntu-desktop i was freezing, and mostly thte mouse would just stop responding. somehow it had switched to ALPS driver instead of synaptics... or something. so hopefully removing all the kde stuff will fix it..
[04:43] <wiseman> $logfile indicates unclean shutdown, failed to mount /dev/sda2: operation not supported
[04:44] <wiseman> lolwut?
[04:44] <_Zeus_> wiseman: you need to cleanly shutdown windows
[04:44] <jsq> i thought after i removed kubuntu-desktop then did apt-get autoremove all the automatically installed packages would be gone.
[04:44] <hellhound_> legend2440, thank you but I get an error that says "Bad key or directory name: "and": Must begin with a slash '/'"
[04:44] <wiseman> what do you mean?
[04:44] <wiseman> I wasn't aware that it was unclean in any way
[04:44] <_Zeus_> wiseman: the last time you used windows, did you shut it down?  or did you pull the plug
[04:44] <wiseman> did someone drop a dookie on my windows logfile?
[04:44] <hellhound_> legend2440, opps i copied too much
[04:44] <wiseman> I think I shut it down...it
[04:45] <wiseman> it's been a while since I went into windows
[04:45] <_Zeus_> wiseman: well, reboot into windows, then reboot back to ubuntu
[04:45] <_Zeus_> that will fix it
[04:45] <zhou> command "sudo"  means what?
[04:45] <wiseman> Will do
[04:45] <wiseman> brb
[04:45] <_Zeus_> wiseman: you could force it, but that's dangerous
[04:45] <wiseman> sudo gives root privelages
[04:45] <genii> wiseman: also running chdsk in windows on the drive can't hurt
[04:45] <wiseman> gimme 5 minutes, thanks _Zeus_
[04:45] <zhou> thank you
[04:45] <wiseman> brb
[04:45] <_Zeus_> sure
[04:45] <indian_munnda> zhou: is there any settings in totem for that?
[04:46] <vilhelm> _Zeus_: yeah i removed the file now .. I think it works now thx :)
[04:46] <hellhound_> legend2440, THANK YOU!!!! it works now
[04:46] <legend2440> !beer | hellhound_
[04:46] <_Zeus_> vilhelm: cool
[04:46] <jsq> rebooting
[04:46] <Azhi_Dahaka__> I... I don't get it
[04:46] <redvamp128> Anyone got an idea about how to change the main volume (gnome appellate) mixer to change the alsa mixer.?
[04:47] <_Zeus_> redvamp128: right click, preferences?
[04:47] <morth_> How do i create an account for my FTP server?

[04:51] <morth_> Thank you.
[04:52] <badfish> can i make a joystick work with doom?
[04:52] <hellhound_> what is the command to remove a directory.  i tried rm but it states that it is a directory
[04:52] <zhou> #ubuntu-cn
[04:52] <badfish> rm -r
[04:52] <_Zeus_> hellhound_: rm -r
[04:52] <carandraug> hellhound_: I think rmdir (or rm -R but be careful)
[04:52] <legend2440> hellhound_: sudo rm -rf
[04:52] <_Zeus_> legend2440: no need for the -f
[04:52] <marcustomized> the f isnt necessary
[04:52] <badfish> unless you wanna force it
[04:53] <_Zeus_> -f is not force
[04:53] <hellhound_> badfish, _Zeus_, carandraug , legend2440 thank you all
[04:53] <badfish> can i make a joystick work with doom?
[04:53] <carandraug> zhou: you have to type /join #ubuntu-cn
[04:53] <zhou> YES
[04:53] <zhou> GOT IT
[04:54] <carandraug> hellhound_: rmdir will only work if the directory's already empty
[04:54] <wiseman> Shoop da woop
[04:54] <wiseman> thanks _Zeus_
[04:54] <wiseman> worked like a charm

[05:01] <aliciapg> but what do you want me to look at
[05:01] <td123> So I wanted to figure out how an ubuntu install cd works, can anyone point me in the right direction? I want to know what parts it uses for what ( what  program it uses to install and ...)

[05:02] <dasickis> lwizardl: which ones?
[05:02] <dasickis> lwizardl: what are you trying to do? is this app for restaurants, etc?
[05:02] <jsq> badfish, do you have xserver-xorg-input-joystick? i believe you need that.. at least i diid for alot of joystick games
[05:02] <aliciapg> well...there is a problem
[05:02] <lwizardl> dasickis, nope i'm opening a retail store
[05:02] <aliciapg> that isn't even there

[05:03] <badfish> what is xserver xorg input joystick?
[05:03] <dasickis> lwizardl: i'm assuming you need to do credit card processing?
[05:03] <aliciapg> oh i see it it just has avahi
[05:03] <jsq> well, it worked for me in zsnes, but it wouldnt work for example gfceu until i installed that package
[05:03] <dasickis> lwizardl: inventory control, etc.
[05:04] <jsq> it's just a package, not sure of the specifics, but i do know it creates a /dev/input/joystick0
[05:04] <dasickis> aliciapg: try doing ifup eth0 && dhclient
[05:04] <jsq> or something like that, do you have that?
[05:04] <badfish> all emulators are working fine
[05:04] <badfish> idk
[05:04] <badfish> i can't find it in aptitued
[05:04] <lwizardl> dasickis, yes i need credit cards, inventories, etc
[05:04] <Azhi_Dahaka_> thing keeps freezing with video :S
[05:05] <badfish> found it
[05:05] <badfish> instlaling
[05:05] <aliciapg> it said it's already configured
[05:05] <dasickis> lwizardl: for me i just called up one of these credit card processing companies and they gave me the libraries to program the credit card processing stuff
[05:06] <jsq> badfish: interesting, i can't find that file now :)
[05:06] <dasickis> lwizardl: then you can hire a programmer to program the rest of your requirements
[05:06] <lwizardl> dasickis, yeah but about 99% of the people i've talked to are windows only
[05:06] <badfish> still no response
[05:07] <jsq> maybe you need to configure doom for it?
[05:07] <aliciapg> it says ddclient isn't even installed
[05:07] <dasickis> aliciapg: hmm
[05:07] <tita> Can someone help me about web development
[05:07] <badfish> i''m trying
[05:08] <badfish> it won't recongize when i push a button on the controller
[05:08] <lwizardl> dasickis, do you own a store?
[05:08] <Geoffrey2> several days ago my onboard wireless stopped seeing my router....since then I completely reinstalled ubuntu, and it still can't see the router.....any ideas?  am I looking at a hardware failure?
[05:09] <tita> i need something like wamp in ubuntu
[05:09] <badfish> i can play with my keyboard but i don't want to
[05:09] <jsq> oh, probably the reason i don't see the /dev/input/js0 or whatever it is is because i don't have the js plugged in..
[05:09] <badfish> can i configure my joystick as keyboard keys?
[05:09] <dasickis> lwizardl: umm let's take this offline because if you can tell me some info like average, high, low
[05:09] <dasickis> lwizardl: no but i'm heavily involved with CC transactions
[05:10] <dasickis> lwizardl: i'm involved with mobile transactions i.e. NY taxi cabs
[05:10] <jsq> badfish, honestly, i bet you will use js for awhile, then switch back.. it's my guess, fps are hard to control with joysticks
[05:10] <lwizardl> dasickis, can I pm you?
[05:10] <dasickis> sure
[05:10] <badfish> it's a 360 controller
[05:10] <badfish> if i get it working i'll use it
[05:10] <regeya> gimme a good ol' keyboard and mouse for a fps
[05:11] <aliciapg> can anyone help?
[05:11] <tyoc> How secure is to use gparted to move and resize a ntfs partition in an external UBS HD?
[05:11] <jsq> ok, if you found the option in doom to control with a joystick, and it's not working, then i don't know
[05:11] <lucax> aliciapg, whats the problem?
[05:11] <jsq> i thought that package might help, it helped me
[05:11] <aliciapg> i can't connect to ethernet
[05:11] <regeya> learned the trick to playing well with kbd + mouse from government-trained killers (well, ok, so they were just rotc college kids, but "government-trained killers" sounds so much cooler)
[05:11] <jsq> i myself use a ps2 controller :)
[05:12] <SeaPhor> aliciapg, more specific please?
[05:12] <lucax> aliciapg, whats kinda connection to internet u have? adsl?
[05:12] <badfish> joystick is on
[05:12] <aliciapg> i'm at a college
[05:13] <jsq> i would make sure , do a 'cat /dev/input/js0' and see if you get input. might have to be root
[05:13] <jsq> still not sure about the exact filename
[05:13] <eDRoaCH> tita still there?
[05:14] <lucax> aliciapg, so... connect the eth cable to the card, then right click on the nm-applet then go to manual configuration, enable ethernet telling in preferences that u want to use DHCP and try
[05:14] <koolmena> hi..

[05:15] <zj3t3mju> please
[05:15] <the_ricka_> ok, is there a reason I can't find libxine-extracodecs when I search for it with synaptic?  I have the multiverse repository enabled.
[05:15] <lucax> aliciapg, u have to untilt eneable roaming mode, then try dhcp or ipv4

[05:23] <[TiZ]> Hi there. I've been having some problems with my touchpad in firefox. Sometimes when I right click on a link, it will pick a random action from the context menu and automatically execute it. Right now, it just keeps happening. I right click on a link, and an evolution mail composition window automatically pops up. Can anyone help?
[05:23] <fignuts> !joystick

[05:24] <MrP0cketz> whats the default root password for Ubuntu?
[05:24] <MrP0cketz> (im in a live CD and need to mount some shit)
[05:24] <jrib> !sudo > MrP0cketz
[05:25] <MrP0cketz> you can't just tell me?
[05:25] <jrib> MrP0cketz: I did
[05:25] <MrP0cketz> ah
[05:25] <MrP0cketz> as you did
[05:25] <MrP0cketz> so why the hell does  "sudo  command"
[05:25] <MrP0cketz> work
[05:25] <MrP0cketz> but i cant   su -
[05:25] <FloodBot2> MrP0cketz: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[05:26] <jrib> MrP0cketz: because they are two different things.  root has no default password, so you can't login as root using 'su -'.  Use 'sudo -i' if you need some sort of root shell

[05:27] <tritium> Hi egoflux.
[05:28] <not_myself> Anyone in here ever installed ubuntu to a usb thumb drive?
[05:28] <not_myself> Does it boot faster than a hard drive?
[05:29] <SeaPhor> not_myself, i have
[05:29] <backz> what is the package with documentation of getchar (man pages) ?
[05:29] <not_myself> SeaPhor: does it boot faster?
[05:29] <SeaPhor> not_myself, and no faster, but it was also less dependable
[05:29] <egoflux> yo
[05:29] <jrib> backz: manpages-dev
[05:29] <not_myself> bummer
[05:29] <[TiZ]> I've been having some problems with my touchpad in firefox. Sometimes when I right click on a link, it will pick a random action from the context menu and automatically execute it. Right now, it just keeps happening. I right click on a link, and an evolution mail composition window automatically pops up. Can anyone help?
[05:31] <badfish> can i bind usb joystick buttons to keyboard keys?
[05:31] <SeaPhor> not_myself, like the 3rd day it started losing info, and that was once i started updating, now mine was with a 4gb and i will try again with a 16gb drive,, that may prove better
[05:31] <jesseboi> Hi there.  I'm trying to use usb-creator to have persistent file system on the usb drive.  With the daily build of Ibex it doesn't seem to work.  Has anyone had success with Hardy + usb-creator?
[05:33] <not_myself> So it looks like if I wanted a fast boot, I'd need to get a solid state drive, and use that.
[05:33] <badfish> i'd really prefer not to have to use windows just to play doom
[05:33] <badfish> if i can get my 360 controller to work with every emlator i run, why not doom?
[05:33] <badfish> what's the difference?
[05:33] <badfish> surely my joystick is being detected on the operating system level
[05:35] <SeaPhor> not_myself, i havent seen much improvement in speed with those, just more firmware/driver issues, but they are nice, just very expensive for the lack od dependability
[05:35] <SeaPhor> *of
[05:35] <not_myself> Ok.
[05:35] <K_Dallas> Hi guys! What is a good bitorrent client (similar to utorrent under windows) for Ubuntu? Besides azareus, the ones that I have found, do not look much interesting. Thanks
[05:36] <genii> badfish: Have you loaded the driver for your joystick make?
[05:36] <fignuts> is anybody here familiar with kxmame?
[05:36] <jesseboi> K_Dallas:  Don't like Transmission?
[05:36] <not_myself> I can drive 4 blocks before the login screen shows up, and I was wondering if there was an easy way to go about getting a fast boot.  So I'm guessing 1-2 minutes
[05:37] <K_Dallas> jesseboi: not much but it is way better than bittorando ...
[05:37] <lex_> anybody having problems with using restricted drivers in ubuntu for nvidia cards? *the latest nvidia driver for new cards*
[05:38] <SeaPhor> not_myself, there's something else wrong then, i boot in 20-25 seconds on a bad day
[05:38] <not_myself> I guess I could time it.
[05:38] <not_myself> It's a lap top.
[05:38] <the_ricka_> K_Dallas: I like Deluge
[05:38] <shashi> I am using AMD64 Ubuntu 8.10. I am trying use 32-bit based browser (flock, firefox), the name resolution is not happening for 32-bit based apps. How can i solve this issue ?
[05:38] <not_myself> Well it's bed time

[05:39] <shashi> Sorry, i am using hardy heron
[05:39] <shashi> 8.04
[05:39] <badfish> genii: i loaded it from the ubuntu forum. i can play emulators and use jscalibrator
[05:39] <the_ricka_> K_Dallas: No, you shouldn't.  Google it, I think you will like the interface
[05:40] <badfish> genii: prboom is the only program i've run across so far that won't accept my gamepad input
[05:40] <K_Dallas> the_ricka_: thank you very much. I'll look into it right away
[05:40] <usser> shashi, heard something like that, are u sure u have all 32 bit libraries installed
[05:40] <genii> badfish: And you're using the linux version of Doom ?
[05:40] <usser> shashi, there was quite a few
[05:40] <K_Dallas> BTW, dansguardian would not interfere with torrent, would it?
[05:40] <badfish> genii: yes
[05:40] <shashi> Even i have installed dns client 32-bit libraries and i have installed ia32 libraries. but still no luck.
[05:40] <badfish> genii: obtained via apt-get install prboom
[05:41] <elyes> hello, can i find help here please?
[05:41] <usser> shashi, if you cant sort it out try pointing getlibs to the original firefox-bin binary
[05:42] <badfish> this is one of 2 major issues keeping me from ditching windows completely that i would like to have resolved
[05:42] <lamthienlong_87> knhkgkhng
[05:43] <SeaPhor> elyes, you haven't said what you need help with, so no-one can answer you?

[05:44] <shashi> OK, Let me try

[05:44] <lex_> I'm using a HP G60 laptop with nvidia 8200m card. Ubuntu becomes unresponsive after trying to boot, just a black screen; fails using restricted drivers.
[05:44] <usser> sram, yea sure you can run it from withing windows partition its just its some programs dont work properly when run from ntfs partition

[05:46] <usser> sram, yes u can

[05:54] <AlNahar> error404notfound: glXCreateContext failed
[05:54] <AlNahar> i get that with glxinfo |grep render , using nvidia
[05:55] <bobertdos> AlNahar: strange........
[05:55] <AlNahar> ah libglx.so
[05:55] <elyes> EagleSn: yes it is working but only in 2.1 mode, I have a 5.1 speakers and cannot use them, only the front speakers are working
[05:56] <ASrock> i installed ubuntu on my laptop and i cant get networking to work...i dont really care about it that much i just want to know how to set up grub to automatically boot windows
[05:56] <EagleSn> elyes sorry i dont know how to help you
[05:57] <Doc|Serverising> What does Ubuntu server use as a text editor?
[05:57] <Flannel> ASrock: easiest way is to put "savedefault" on the line after the end of your windows entry in your menu.lst, and then change (near the top) the "default" parameter (it should be "default 0") to default saved
[05:57] <odracir34> asrock
[05:57] <Flannel> Doc|Serverising: nano and vim (vim-tiny) are installed by default
[05:57] <Doc|Serverising> Flannel: Thankyou.
[05:57] <odracir34> how did you instal ubuntu
[05:59] <ASrock> ok Flannel its rebooting...if it doesnt boot again im holding you responsible
[05:59] <ASrock> ...just kidding it worked
[05:59] <ASrock> thanks
[05:59] <turtle_> no kidding in here
[05:59] <turtle_> jk
[05:59] <ASrock> now im confused
[05:59] <odracir34> \why
[06:00] <ASrock> cuz he said no kidding then just kidding and ya idk...hes sending mixed signals
[06:00] <ASrock> :P
[06:00] <AlNahar> bobertdos: it seems when i use desktop effects, metacity dies?
[06:01] <SeaPhor> elyes, youmight lok into OSS instead of ALSA, i dont have 5.1 but the ossxmix lets me config a LOT of stuff
[06:01] <ASrock> well thanks again Flannel...im gonna hit the hay
[06:01] <bobertdos> AlNahar: Based on the error you're getting with glxinfo, I wonder if your drivers are corrupted. Did you say you use Nvidia?
[06:02] <AlNahar> bobertdos: i dont get that error anymore, it was libglx.so
[06:02] <AlNahar> i fixed the symlink
[06:03] <bobertdos>  AlNahar: Oh, good. Well then, are you using open-source drivers, restricted, or proprietary? Is direct rendering enabled?
[06:03] <AlNahar> bobertdos: im not having that problem anymore, i'm asking about metacity
[06:03] <bobertdos>  AlNahar: I know, I'm just trying to eliminate other possibilities.
[06:04] <Doc|Serverising> Halp. :( Can't work out how to mount my flash drive.
[06:04] <AlNahar> bobertdos: well, im using the livna nvidia stuff. but the problem i am having now is if i use compiz, it seems to kill metacity, as if i cannot have both
[06:04] <Doc|Serverising> It's recognised, etc.
[06:04] <bazooka> how do i configure mail server with LAMP . i am using ubuntu 8.04 desktop
[06:05] <bobertdos> AlNahar: so is direct rendering enabled or not? It's good to know so we can eliminate that as a cause for Compiz misbehaving.
[06:05] <AlNahar> bobertdos: yes, because otherwise compiz cannot run
[06:05] <Psykus> gr. xchat shouldn't automatically join this channel on first start
[06:05] <Psykus> so, bye!
[06:05] <AlNahar> glxinfo |grep render
[06:05] <AlNahar> direct rendering: Yes

[06:05] <bobertdos> AlNahar: Haha, yeah, I know, but you'd be surprised how many people don't figure that out.
[06:06] <bazooka> how do i configure mail server with LAMP . i am using ubuntu 8.04 desktop
[06:07] <Doc|Serverising> How do I list all my hard drives?
[06:07] <crdlb> AlNahar: livna?
[06:07] <SeaPhor> Doc|Serverising, df -h
[06:08] <AlNahar> ugh, the metacity thing has nothing to do with nvidia.  it's related to compiz
[06:08] <Doc|Serverising> SeaPhor: It doesn't show all my drives. It shows my first hard drive
[06:08] <crdlb> AlNahar: I ask because livna is a repo for fedora ...
[06:08] <Doc|Serverising> I'm looking for where my USB drive is so I can mount it. ;/
[06:08] <AlNahar> did i say livna?:)
[06:09] <SeaPhor> Doc|Serverising, lsusb ?
[06:09] <Doc|Serverising> SeaPhor: It shows my flash drive there and the other (empty) USB slot
[06:11] <SeaPhor> Doc|Serverising, it as not auto-mounting?
[06:11] <Doc|Serverising> SeaPhor: I'm using Ubuntu server, so I kinda need things done through command line, and it's not in /media
[06:13] <SeaPhor> Doc|Serverising, cd to /dev/disk/by-path and ls
[06:13] <Doc|Serverising> by-path?
[06:13] <Doc|Serverising> I see a bunch of scsi, usb and numbers, seanw
[06:13] <Doc|Serverising> SeaPhor,
[06:13] <AlNahar> f9
[06:14] <Doc|Serverising> None of them mean anything to me
[06:14] <SeaPhor> Doc|Serverising, by-label if you know what it is
[06:14] <Doc|Serverising> ...I don't! And that's the PROBLEM
[06:14] <thoughtstipated> i just upgraded to 8.10... and I just gotta say YES! Thank  you!!! (although i might want to be thanking the X folks too...) but my dual monitors are working 'out of the package'!!!
[06:14] <Doc|Serverising> Oh!
[06:14] <Doc|Serverising> It came up, SeaPhor
[06:14] <Doc|Serverising> It says my drive name
[06:15] <SeaPhor> Doc|Serverising, ;-)
[06:15] <Doc|Serverising> >_>
[06:15] <thoughtstipated> could anyone suggest a decent IRC client, in the likes of mIRC (you windows users know what i'm talkin about)
[06:16] <SeaPhor> xchat
[06:16] <zerothis> I have some files in a ........../subdirectory on a removable drive. I want them (the subdirectory) to be automatically available in my home directory when the drive is plugged in. Would mount -bind or mount -rbind do this?
[06:16] <Doc|Serverising> SeaPhor: Now how do I mounti t?
[06:17] <Doc|Serverising> *it
[06:20] <SeaPhor> Doc|Serverising, heh, thats where ya lose me, i can find it,,, but should be     mount /dev/disk/by-label/name mountpoint, but again, i'm good at finding, i'm still a n00b tho, Flannel prolly knows, lol
[06:20] <r2s1> how can I remove the last dot from an ip example 192.168.1.2. .. can sed remove the last character of this string??
[06:20] <Doc|Serverising> SeaPhor: I did try that, it didn't work.
[06:21] <EDUARDO> Enter text here...HOLA COMO ESTA EL ROLLO AQUI
[06:21] <Doc|Serverising> Errr...
[06:22] <SeaPhor> Doc|Serverising, see if you can find its UUID, then add it to your fstab
[06:22] <centr0> hi all
[06:22] <Flannel> Doc|Serverising, SeaPhor: `sudo blkid` will give you a list of UUIDs
[06:23] <Doc|Serverising> Well, I have random hex and crap that just came up
[06:23] <SeaPhor> TY Flannel

[06:24] <Doc|Serverising> Okay, I see the UUID, now how do I mount it, FlanneL?
[06:24] <Shabda> My internet connection is connects to my computer via a RJ 45 cable, it used to work nicely till yesterday. Today it gets stuck on "Acquiring network address ..." on Ubuntu. I can connect via WinXp. What should I do to debug?

[06:26] <centr0> nm.  no need of the sudo
[06:26] <SeaPhor> Doc|Serverising, do you want it to mount on boot?
[06:27] <Doc|Serverising> SeaPhor: Nah, just this once for ndiswrapper.
[06:27] <SeaPhor> Doc|Serverising, oooo why?
[06:27] <Flannel> centr0: You never want to run graphical programs with sudo, you want to use gksu instead.
[06:27] <Flannel> centr0: but, that's correct, you shouldn't need sudo for wine stuff.
[06:28] <Doc|Serverising> SeaPhor: Wireless drivers. :P
[06:28] <SeaPhor> what card?
[06:29] <SeaPhor> what card? Doc|Serverising
[06:30] <SeaPhor> what chipset? Doc|Serverising
[06:30] <Doc|Serverising> SeaPhor: A NetGear one, using the tutorial on the wiki and it's working
[06:30] <AgentHeX> is there a way to force hardware anti-aliasing and texture filtering for the nvidia driver?  i would like to get a bit better image quality from compiz.
[06:30] <SeaPhor> cool, let me know how it turns out,,, look me up on #SeaPhor
[06:31] <SeaPhor> Doc|Serverising,  cool, let me know how it turns out,,, look me up on #SeaPhor

[06:31] <Doc|Serverising> Okay, that's warped... it said that it was properly installed and then it tells me it's not. >_>
[06:32] <venger> does the login process run ~/.gnomerc and is it ran under dash and limited as such?  i added a source script call to gnomerc which creates a few functions that i want to be global to the session and i don't see that they were created

[06:43] <abchirk> acp it depends on those guys who are also on this accesspoint. :P
[06:43] <lex_> I'm not sure if I really fixed my problem. I used the Envy script to manually install what I assumed were the latest nvidia drivers, but now my mousepad doesn't work...any suggestions?
[06:44] <abchirk> If you transmit passwords unsecured and having a very easy pw it isn't so secure.

[06:48] <abbas> hi
[06:48] <Kartagis> hi
[06:49] <dude> hi guys, I have an nvidia 9600 card and I have it running on the restricted drivers so I can use compiz.  problem is every other time I restart the machine the drivers become corrupted or something because I get what looks like static or noise running all over the screen and I can only get as far as the GUI login screen.  I then have to restart in repair mode to repair the xservice (x server?) and then re-enable nvidia's xserver s
[06:49] <dude> ettings (via the nvidia xconfig command).  Is this common?  Is there a fix or idea to why this occurs?  This never happens in windows.
[06:49] <lex_> SeaPhor: When I first installed Ubuntu, a tip popped up saying restricted drivers were available for my Nvidia card, so I downloaded and enabled them. Upon rebooting, I came to a black screen only
[06:49] <jim_p> i noticed today that my ntfs partitions have a uuid of 16 letters, while the ext3 one has ~32. plus i cant find the uuid of the swap partition. is all this normal? any file is at your disposal
[06:50] <abbas> i whant run java hk firefox
[06:50] <xinen007> Hi
[06:50] <abbas> how
[06:50] <jim_p> dude: how did you install the drivers? apt or from nvidia package?
[06:50] <jim_p> abbas: you mean java in firefox?
[06:50] <jim_p> !java
[06:51] <abbas> yes
[06:51] <SeaPhor> lex_,  " so I downloaded and enabled them. " means you went to System>Administration>Hardware Drivers and enabled them? or you went to mfg site and downloaded them and installed them?
[06:51] <dude> jim_p, from the add/remove portion under the applications menu... I assume that's apt?
[06:51] <jim_p> dude: that is apt. do you know the exact name of the package?
[06:52] <jim_p> !java | abbas
[06:52] <[Arch_Slax]Draco> ~conke.hu
[06:53] <dude> jim_p, it's called "NVidia binary X.Org driver ('new' driver)
[06:53] <dude> jim_p, there's also another just called "NVIDIA X Server Settings"
[06:53] <dude> both are installed
[06:53] <lex_> SeaPhor: System > Administration > Hardware Drivers
[06:53] <jim_p> dude: do this at a terminal     sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-new
[06:53] <abbas> i whant run wth firefox
[06:54] <jim_p> abbas: this will install a plugin and firefox will use it
[06:54] <dude> jim_P, it says I already have the newest version.
[06:55] <abbas> ok
[06:55] <SeaPhor> lex_, what vid card you have
[06:55] <lex_> SeaPhor: 8200m
[06:56] <dtech> I'm d/l a plugin for firefox ... it's asking do I want rpm or YUM ... does Ubuntu prefer one over the other?
[06:56] <genii> dtech: Neither
[06:56] <dtech> tarball?
[06:57] <jrib> dtech: what plugin?
[06:57] <SeaPhor> lex_, that an nvidia card?
[06:57] <genii> dtech: deb
[06:57] <dtech> flash
[06:57] <jrib> dtech: just visit http://www.badgerbadgerbadger.com and click on the yellow bar

[06:58] <macvr> hi all.... i'v recently installed picasa...it seems to have installed wine in it tooo... is there any risk of getting infected windows viruses? i know win viruses wont affect me... but will i get them?
[06:58] <dude> jim_p, anything else you recommend me to try?  I seems I already have that installed.
[06:59] <SeaPhor> lex_, have you installed glx or nvidia-settings?
[06:59] <MrNaz> i'm trying to bulid something from source and i'm getting the error from ./configure that "C compiler cannot create executables"... i've installed gcc and build-essential what else would i need to do ?
[06:59] <abchirk> macvr why you should get some when you use picasa?
[07:00] <lex_> SeaPhor: Not sure, I let Envy do it, it seems to work, i got my widescreen resolution up, but there are glitches when I scroll, text and images become distorted
[07:00] <xzcvczx> wheres the default place that ubuntu stores the dpkg files, or is there a way to find out what files belong to a certain package using its apt name?
[07:00] <jim_p> dude: does xorg.conf say "nvidia" at the relevant line
[07:00] <dtech> that's great and all! ... but I can't come running to you everytime I need to install something ... are you saying there is some alternative methods I need to learn about for installing add-ons etc. to Ubuntu?
[07:00] <jim_p> ?
[07:00] <Flannel> xzcvczx: dpkg -L package
[07:00] <macvr> ﻿ abchirk: i'm not sure... thats y i'm asking.... i was wondering if it might get affected since it has wine....!
[07:00] <xzcvczx> Flannel: don't i need the .deb file for that?
[07:01] <Flannel> xzcvczx: Nope
[07:01] <xzcvczx> Flannel: ah my bad, thanks
[07:01] <dude> jim_p, I'm not sure... can you tell me how to check please?
[07:01] <P3X-018> How do I check whether my WLAN have the drivers needed and is working?
[07:01] <abbas> ok  sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-new fnash
[07:01] <abchirk> macvr hm when you download viruses maybe, but I don't guess that picase has viruses...
[07:01] <jim_p> dude: cat /etc/X11/xorg.cof | grep Driver
[07:01] <abchirk> except googles spaybot :P
[07:01] <abchirk> -a
[07:02] <P3X-018> Under networks connection it simply says: Enable - Wireless Network Device. Though I have been unsuccesful connecting to the net throug it
[07:02] <hetao> Hello
[07:02] <jrib> dtech: ubuntu tries to do some stuff automatically, but in the end you are always installing from the repositories using APT or some frontend like add/remove or synaptic.  The reason you didn't get the yellow bar in firefox originally is because the site you were on tries to be too smart (I'm guessing youtube) and doesn't try to load flash if it detects you don't have it
[07:02] <macvr> ﻿ abchirk: i know pisaca isnt... but i'm at risk that the viruses can attach to picasa cause of wine? is this what u mean?
[07:02] <hetao> my name is he tao
[07:02] <abchirk> macvr there won't be viruses only with wine.

[07:03] <dude> jim_p, the output came as "Driver "kdb", Driver "mouse"" and that's it

[07:04] <Doc|Serverising> I'm trying to download lynx on Ubuntu server and it's giving me an error saying "E: Package lynx has no installation candidate"

[07:05] <K-Chiggums> how can I recover a corrupted Hard Drive?
[07:05] <Doc|Serverising> jim_p: Probably not, how?
[07:05] <dude> jim_p, I can get the drivers working by typing in 'sudo nvidia-xconfig' but then every other time the machine is rebooted it gives me static lines or white noise and I have to reinstall the drivers
[07:05] <macvr> ﻿ abchirk: i was worried since i read  in a lot of places that win viruses work on wine tooo... guess i'm jus being paranoid cause i'v recently migrated from XP and am not using any anti-viruses!:-D

[07:13] <dude> jim_p, this is what somebody in #nvidia told me: The gist of it is that if you want to use the .run installer, you have to make sure to remove the Ubuntu drivers with the --purge option or they'll leave behind scripts that sabotage the driver when you reboot.

[07:14] <rukcus> you can  still access the harddrives, but you have to mount them first
[07:14] <enyawix> i do not what to download the 700mb iso
[07:14] <jim_p> macvr: install some antivirus, although it is not likely to happen. in the worst case you uninstall picassa, delete the .wine folder and you are good as new
[07:14] <DumbIntel> also, is there a way I can have her resolution be different from other users? Or is there a theme to make text bigger all around?
[07:15] <jim_p> enyawix: give me a sec and i will find it for you
[07:15] <rukcus> you can create an Xsession for her user

[07:17] <enyawix> jim_p: thanks
[07:17] <macvr> ﻿DumbIntel: picasa install wine inside the picasa folder!!!

[07:17] <DumbIntel> thats nuts, still runs great though.

[07:21] <DumbIntel> macvr: Not that I'm aware of, but I would manually delete it reguardless. not sure why taht would be a good option at all.
[07:21] <pinPoint> i have to keep pushing the file into the queue until it is done.

[07:27] <jim_p> enyawix: it seems the "minimal" cd is the server edition one, but its still 400+MB
[07:27] <macvr> ﻿Voox: check this link>>> http://loscompanion.com/forums/index.php?topic=3708.0 <<< it is only for linux

[07:27] <rukcus> _kevin_:  it will totally depend on what your wireless hardware is. Check the manufacturer and search to see if it's supported by linux drivers
[07:28] <macvr> ﻿Voox: these are some of the reasons i find linux cool.... u can do almost anything!!! ;-)

[07:28] <carandraug> Doc|Serverising: run "sudo cfdisk /dev/dsb", get rid of everything there and then create the partitions you want (type 83 for ext3 partitions)
[07:28] <_kevin_> rukcus, its not supported by linux drivers -- i had a very hard time getting it working when I installed ubuntu
[07:28] <_kevin_> Paddy_EIRE, yes
[07:28] <Doc|Serverising> carandraug: Doing so
[07:28] <Voox> macvr, i love linux as well, i am just trying out a few to check if i have video tearing on different distros
[07:28] <Reformer81> ...ugh.  Nevermind.  Simply restarting my computer apparently fixed this "issue."  Amazing how Linux will work one second but not the next.. and then, two minutes later, all is well again.
[07:29] <Paddy_EIRE> _kevin_: what is your hardware.. if you are unsure do "lspci" and "lsusb" in a terminal and pastebin the output
[07:29] <rukcus> _kevin_:  if you have a windows driver for the device, you can use ndiswrapper to cloak the windows .sys to work on linux
[07:29] <carandraug> Doc|Serverising: you then need to create the filesystems on those partitions. You'll need to umount them and then use a command that I'll give you in one minute. You want ext3 partitions?
[07:29] <jyoseph> If I go to "Preferences > Sessions" I see a tab called "Startup Programs". Can I simply put "xmodmap /etc/X11/.Xmodmap" in the command field?
[07:29] <Doc|Serverising> carandraug: I'm alright from here on
[07:30] <Paddy_EIRE> jyoseph: that should be fine
[07:30] <dude> jim_p... didn't work
[07:30] <_kevin_> Paddy_EIRE, Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4311 802.11b/g WLAN (rev 02)
[07:30] <jyoseph> Paddy_EIRE: awesome, thanks... only reason I wasn't sure is I didn't want the machine to have a problem booting if that was wrong
[07:30] <carandraug> Doc|Serverising: ok. It's somewhere on the line of mkfs.ext3
[07:30] <Paddy_EIRE> 1 sec _kevin_ thats a familiar chipset
[07:30] <_kevin_> rukcus, I heard about that whole "ndiswrapper" -- is it easy to do?
[07:30] <dude> jim_p, it did the same thing :( so I did a full reboot and now I'm in some kinda safe or low-graphics mode.
[07:30] <Doc|Serverising> carandraug: I'm not trying install another OS
[07:30] <_kevin_> Paddy_EIRE, sure sure
[07:31] <carandraug> TRIGG3R: can you pastebin "sudo fdisk -l"?
[07:31] <enyawix> jim_p thanks
[07:31] <Doc|Serverising> I want it to work as storage
[07:31] <Paddy_EIRE> jyoseph: that method you mention only starts the app/command after login
[07:31] <jyoseph> Paddy_EIRE: in this case it's for my keyboard
[07:31] <jyoseph> so that should be okay
[07:31] <Paddy_EIRE> yep
[07:31] <carandraug> Doc|Serverising: yes. But creating a partition won't be enough. You need to create a filesystem in there, even if it's not for an OS
[07:31] <jyoseph> sweet, thanks for the reassurance Paddy_EIRE
[07:32] <Doc|Serverising> carandraug: Kay...
[07:32] <jim_p> dude: then i rest my case. have a look at mine http://7g.pri.ee/mine.conf . excluding the ati options under fglrx, all the rest is the perfect thing for the job
[07:32] <Doc|Serverising> carandraug: Well, does my first partition need to be extended?
[07:32] <Paddy_EIRE> _kevin_: which model of laptop is that?
[07:32] <Doc|Serverising> Well, an extended partition
[07:32] <_kevin_> Paddy_EIRE, HP Compaq Presario V6000
[07:32] <Paddy_EIRE> jyoseph: anytime
[07:32] <Doc|Serverising> I need optimal numbers for a 320GB disk too
[07:32] <Paddy_EIRE> ah ha
[07:33] <Ububegin> any mp3 application in ubuntu accepts HOT KEYS... like Cntrl+Home will play or pause the song.. as in Winamp...
[07:33] <Doc|Serverising> Ububegin: Amarok
[07:33] <DumbIntel> macvr: Only way is to delete them manually
[07:33] <carandraug> Doc|Serverising: I think you only need an extended partition if you plan to have more than 4. Otherwise, you can go fine with just primary
[07:33] <enyawix> is Ubuntu pure 64bit running 32bit in chroot or multi lib running 64bit and  32bit in the same area?
[07:33] <Doc|Serverising> carandraug: Right o... so do I only need to use ext3?
[07:33] <Ububegin> Doc|Serverising: danke...
[07:34] <carandraug> Ububegin: Audacious looks a lot like Winamp (even accepts winamp 2.x skins). I believe it allows to do that
[07:34] <rukcus> _kevin_:  its much easier than finding the linux ported drivers for some chipsets, like Realtek ones -_-; there are guides all across the net for ndiswrapper on ubuntu for wifi. the guides worked for this clunky laptop
[07:34] <DumbIntel> macvr: you can always write a simple script and put it in /usr/bin to delete all files which have a edited version.
[07:34] <macvr> ﻿ DumbIntel: k... thanx
[07:34] <Doc|Serverising> And do I need one partition?
[07:34] <Doc|Serverising> *only
[07:34] <Ububegin> carandraug: k, will try that too
[07:35] <_kevin_> rukcus, okay -- I'll see if I can't dig something up. Thanks for your help.
[07:35] <huqing> hehe
[07:35] <carandraug> Doc|Serverising: yes. If you only want to have one partition, you can make just one. And do it as ext3. I have an external HDD of 500Gigas for storage that it's only one ext3 partition
[07:36] <Paddy_EIRE> _kevin_: try this method here only replacing the driver he wgets with the one for your wireless http://www.ubuntu1501.com/2008/04/ndiswrapper-in-hardy-heron.html
[07:36] <Doc|Serverising> carandraug: Thanks, I need mine for storage.
[07:36] <DumbIntel> macvr: and create a shortcut for it on desktop... it would look in your pictures folders and subfolders. Not hard to write, and great learning experience. ;)
[07:36] <Reformer81> When converting the lossy mp3 format to the also-lossy .ogg format, should I be concerned about an even greater loss of quality (copy of a copy)?
[07:36] <danbh_intrepid> Reformer81: yes
[07:36] <lgc> !usbmouse
[07:36] <macvr> ﻿ DumbIntel: will try that ...
[07:37] <lgc> !usb
[07:37] <danbh_intrepid> Reformer81: its called transcoding.  If you look it up in wikipedia, there is more info
[07:37] <Reformer81> danbh_intrepid: What would you suggest I convert my current collection (and actualy CD's) to?
[07:37] <Flannel> Reformer81: Yes, transcoding will result in a loss of quality (not from copy of copy, since this is digital, but because mp3 throws out some info, and ogg throws out some info, and the union of those two infos is your resulting quality)
[07:38] <Flannel> Reformer81: For archiving, rip to FLAC.  Then transcode to your lossy format of the week for use on smaller devices.
[07:38] <_kevin_> Paddy_EIRE, okay thanks, I'll give that a go
[07:38] <Doc|Serverising> carandraug: Is this okay? /dev/sdb1 1 38913 312568641 83 Linux ?
[07:38] <carandraug> Doc|Serverising: ok. SO once you create your type 83 partition with cfdisk, you'll have a partition that will probably sdb1 (confirm with sudo fdisk -l). The run "sudo mkfs.ext3 -j /dev/sdb1" and switch sdb1 for whatever's correct
[07:38] <Paddy_EIRE> _kevin_: read this before hand http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=828709
[07:38] <Reformer81> Flannel: Same question to you, then.  I'm not necessarily an audiophile, but I can't stand hearing clicks and pops when listening to my digital collection.
[07:39] <Paddy_EIRE> _kevin_: keep chatting your way through the process with us and you will be sure to find a method that works everytime for you :)
[07:39] <danbh_intrepid> Reformer81: if they are already mp3, just leave them that way
[07:39] <Flannel> Reformer81: Rip to FLAC, thats lossless, so you can then encode to format X today for your player, and format Y tomorrow (from the original FLAC) for tomorrows [xyz] player that plays a different format.
[07:39] <Paddy_EIRE> hey Flannel
[07:39] <Flannel> Howdy Paddy_EIRE
[07:39] <Paddy_EIRE> busy?
[07:39] <carandraug> Doc|Serverising: looks correct to me. Make the filesystem now. cfdosk, only makes the partitions (there's GUI's to make this kind of stuff such as gparted)
[07:39] <Reformer81> Flannel: Thank you!  That exactly what I was trying to decide. :)
[07:40]  * delcoyote hi
[07:40] <Reformer81> Flannel: And I assume that FLAC is open
[07:40] <Reformer81> ?
[07:40] <Doc|Serverising> carandraug: I don't have the luxury of a GUI. :P
[07:40] <Paddy_EIRE> Reformer81: yes it is
[07:40] <Flannel> Reformer81: While FLAC is a bit bigger (obviously) hard drive space is generally so cheap that it's not an issue.  Free Lossless Audio Codec.  Yep.
[07:40] <rukcus> Reformer81: if you're talking about storage, i recommend a RAID array if you plan on searching thorugh the collection often
[07:41] <Reformer81> rukcus: I don't really SEARCH so much as just find the desired artist within Amarok :)
[07:43] <carandraug> Doc|Serverising: you're ok from now on?
[07:44] <Doc|Serverising> carandraug: Are you sure it's an ext3?
[07:44] <ubuntu> noiuhiuhp
[07:44] <ubuntu> iugiug

[07:44] <FloodBot2> ubuntu: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[07:45] <carandraug> Doc|Serverising: that's the command to create an ext3. You can use mkfs. something else to make it something else
[07:45] <Doc|Serverising> I've done that
[07:45] <Doc|Serverising> Hmmm
[07:45] <Doc|Serverising> I'm trying to mount it in fstab
[07:46] <Doc|Serverising> Ahh
[07:46] <Doc|Serverising> Never mind, I missed the 1
[07:46] <carandraug> Doc|Serverising: you need help with editing fstab?
[07:46] <Doc|Serverising> :) Yay, drive is set up
[07:46] <Doc|Serverising> I missed the 1 on sdb1, was my bad
[07:47] <jim_p> the 2.6.27 kernel (final version) just saw the daylight! Yeee
[07:48] <carandraug> Doc|Serverising: it's better if you use UUID in the fstab
[07:48] <Doc|Serverising> carandraug: I'm not likely to add another drive in its place.
[07:48] <jim_p> and openoffice 3.00 final version too
[07:49] <kacong> #bali
[07:50] <carandraug> Doc|Serverising: not because of that. I've read that there's development on the kernel and udev that may change the order they are loaded. sda may become sdb and stuff like that. UUID won't change unless you format it again
[07:51] <Doc|Serverising> carandraug: It shall have to do for now
[07:53] <Doc|Serverising> How do I make a share in Samba?
[07:53] <carandraug> Doc|Serverising: it's easy to swith. You swith the path in fstab by "UUID=whatever" where whatever is what appears in "ls -lF /dev/disk/by-uuid"

[08:13] <BiosElement> centr0: Using PulseAudio?
[08:13] <centr0> BiosElement, would have no clue.  whats the cmd to check?
[08:14] <BiosElement> centr0: Ubuntu ships with pulseaudio by default. Try launching WoW while prefixing the wine launch with "padsp"
[08:15] <sjea> i'm sure there is all type a fine tuning i could do but still too new to tweek this os
[08:15] <centr0> BiosElement, DLing new patch atm. my sound all around is gone.  cant play mp3s all i hear is system bells.
[08:15] <centr0> is there anyway to reset it?
[08:16] <BiosElement> centr0: Yes. Because WoW took control of the sound device. Without pulseaudio, Sounds cannot be mixed so only one program can play sound at a time. Launching it with padsp will make it use Pulseaudio and let the sound mix correctly.
[08:16] <centr0> BiosElement, awesome thanks for the tip
[08:17] <centr0> would that '-padsp' work with everything i come in contact with that has sound?  ie. ventrilo -padsp?
[08:18] <BiosElement> centr0: The command is padsp wine programname. And Lemme dig up the PulseAudio thread for you that'll help

Instead of rescaling so that the gradient now goes (255, 204, 153, 102, 51, 0, 51, 102, 153, 204 255) it goes (0 51, 102, 153, 204, 255, 204, 153, 102, 51, 0) exactly reversed.

[08:52] <dinocatz> already installed VLC... other than that?
[08:53] <trylobytero> IntuitiveNipple: thanks, now I can see the problem is many ACPI exceptions "(processor_core-0816): AE_NOT_FOUND, Processor Device is not present [20070126]"
[08:53] <trylobytero> I should use noacpi option, isn't it?
[08:53] <IntuitiveNipple> trylobytero: That is a pretty serious bug! what CPU is it?
[08:53] <maalsa> dinocatz: I agree with IntuitiveNipple, the quality has a lot to do with the video file itself, not necessarily the program playing it
[08:53] <balle_> hey, i have lost the shutdown button from the system-->quit menu and i cant get it back, does any of you know how?
[08:53] <dinocatz> hmm... ok...
[08:54] <trylobytero> IntuitiveNipple: intel t2370
[08:54] <DIFH-iceroot> balle_: gnome? right click in panel and add the shutdown button again
[08:54] <dinocatz> when i played with windows, the display so good...
[08:54] <DIFH-iceroot> balle_: add panel should be the english name
[08:54] <dinocatz> hmm... I'm wondering probably i miss some setting with the player itself
[08:55] <maalsa> DIFH: it sounds like he didn't lose it from the panel, but from the dialogue that pops up after you click Quit from the apps menu
[08:55] <balle_> DIFH-iceroot: i've tried that, and that is in my panel already, but it is the final button you press before the computer goes to shutdown that's gone
[08:55] <IntuitiveNipple> trylobytero: What motherboard/BIOS - that looks like an ACPI DSDT entry is incorrect
[08:55] <DIFH-iceroot> balle_ and maalsa sorry didnt geht that info
[08:56] <dinocatz> Pentium D
[08:56] <balle_> maalsa: exactly and DIFH-iceroot, np man
[08:56] <dinocatz> Dell PC..
[08:57] <crazy_bus> if I send someone a password protected archive on ubuntu will they be able to open it in file roller?
[08:57] <maalsa> balle_: try this: sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm
[08:58] <dinocatz> any body can suggest me what application for video editing
[08:58] <balle_> maalsa: doing
[08:58] <leinonen> omg
[08:58] <centr0> ubuntu isnt seeing my internal NTFS hard drive. its not listed in fstab and even gparted doesnt see it.  any ideas?
[08:59] <skar> hi, is there any way i can get deb packages for cpan modules? like MooseX::Types
[08:59] <balle_> maalsa: done, but it appears i have to reboot correct?
[08:59] <IntuitiveNipple> centr0: Examine the /var/log/dmesg and/or /var/log/kern.log for clues about how the system detects the controller, and the devices attached to it.
[08:59] <maalsa> baale_: give it a go, come on back, let me know how it worked out
[08:59] <dinocatz> i tried my self to avoid windowz from now on... but i'm facing difficulties when i want to do video editing
[09:00] <dinocatz> guys, help me please
[09:00] <trylobytero> IntuitiveNipple: phoenixbios 1.12
[09:01] <balle_> maalsa: nope, didn't work
[09:01] <usa1> balle_ that was fast
[09:01] <jim_p> !codecs
[09:01] <jim_p> how can i install w32codecs now that the package is not in medibuntu?
[09:01] <balle_> usal: well yea, ctrl+shift+delete is fast..
[09:02] <dinocatz> thanks
[09:02] <c4r1o> hi, i'm using a notebook right now, do you know how to increase the volume of speakers? with ubuntu it sounds way less than with windows....
[09:02] <usa1> oh
[09:02] <usa1> i thought he said to reboot
[09:02] <usa1> nm
[09:02] <IntuitiveNipple> dinocatz: http://cinelerra.org  and http://lives.sourceforge.net/
[09:02] <dinocatz> thanks for the link...
[09:03] <c4r1o> anyone 4 my volume problem? ;-)
[09:03] <trylobytero> IntuitiveNipple: can't see which motherboard it has, the info I have is "cpu type: intel pentium dual cpu t2370 @ 1.73; processor intel centrino + core"
[09:03] <dinocatz> really appreciate it
[09:03] <trylobytero> :'(
[09:03] <balle_> usa1: i had to quit all the stuff that uses xconf or something like that, and a shift+ctrl+delete should do that, not?
[09:03] <usa1> yes, should
[09:03] <usa1> correct
[09:03] <IntuitiveNipple> trylobytero: What system make/model then? That report suggest something rather wrong somewhere!
[09:04] <usa1> you gonna try a reboot of ya OS now?
[09:04] <balle_> c4r1o: try to open alsa mixer: sudo alsamixer and try fiddling with some of the settings in there..
[09:04] <gluonman> Can anyone tell me how I can re-prioritize my sessions so that gnome-terminal opens after my compiz settings have been fully recognized so that my embedded terminal opens in the right spot without me having to close it and re-open it?
[09:04] <balle_> usa1: think is should?
[09:04] <trylobytero> IntuitiveNipple: Beep Iridium A15 T2370
[09:04] <usa1> msconfig would stop alot from booting when u do try
[09:04] <c4r1o> balle_ thx but already did and everything is max
[09:05] <balle_> usa1: sry?
[09:05] <c4r1o> but even if everything is 100% it sounds poorly.... like when the volume is half way it's silence already
[09:05] <usa1> oh heck, ya all lost me now, i been up almost all night
[09:06] <usa1> i cant sleep
[09:06] <usa1> :P
[09:06] <c4r1o> ^_^
[09:06] <trylobytero> IntuitiveNipple: the only options I can choose at the bios setup utility is "execute disable bit", that is enabled, and lcd panel power saving, enabled too, besides of the boot device priority
[09:06] <usa1> good reason though, i am at work right now
[09:06] <balle_> c4r1o: what about the PCM setting? is that up?, double click on the sound icon
[09:07] <gluonman> Re-prioritizing sessions anyone?
[09:07] <IntuitiveNipple> trylobytero: OK. I see it now. Like you said, I think you should try adding the "acpi=off" option on the kernel command line at boot-time, and if you can, post a bug report as per the wiki: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingACPI
[09:07] <maalsa> balle_: are you running GNOME or KDE?
[09:07] <genii> gluonman: renice
[09:07] <c4r1o> yeh it's up right now....i've also maxed Front and master
[09:07] <gluonman> genii, what is that?
[09:07] <trylobytero> IntuitiveNipple: I bought this notebook with no license, it had installed freeDOS, but it's suspicious that it had a "windows vista" logo close to the keyboard
[09:08] <balle_> maalsa: sry bout that gnome
[09:08] <IntuitiveNipple> genii: No, he wants to cause one app to load after a delay when the gnome session starts
[09:08] <genii> gluonman: It assigns less or more resources to a process or app depending on what values you feed it
[09:08] <usa1> trylobytero format and go from there.
[09:08] <IntuitiveNipple> trylobytero: It seems a bit 'strange', I agree.
[09:08] <genii> IntuitiveNipple: Ah, OK
[09:08] <rukcus> can i format a harddrive to NTFS in linux?
[09:08] <centr0> IntuitiveNipple, is there anything i should be looking out for in dmesg?  when i grep sda on output i get '[   25.793506]  sda: sda1 sda2 < sda5 >'
[09:09] <c4r1o> ok now it's a little different
[09:09] <gluonman> genii, alright, but I'm not keen on syntax. I'm trying to make a program in my sessions wait before it opens. Because it tends to open before compiz settings are fully kicked in, but the desired state of the program relies on those compiz settings. So how can I use renice to make it wait?
[09:09] <c4r1o> the MAX volume is ok......but it just takes 3 or 4 times that i press the (down)volume botton and it silences
[09:09] <rukcus> or rather more specifically: what is a file system that both Linux and Windows r/w to?
[09:09] <IntuitiveNipple> centr0: If the partition with the NTFS file-system is on sda, then and partitioner *should* see it. Try using "sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda"
[09:09] <drue_> Hey,how do i install ThunderBird Via Terminal?
[09:10] <genii> gluonman: No, you use renice on already-running things
[09:10] <centr0> IntuitiveNipple, its a completely different physical drive so could it be /dev/sdb?
[09:10] <IntuitiveNipple> gluonman: Have you got it entered in the 'Sessions' tab in Preferences?
[09:10] <gluonman> genii, then that's not what I'm after.
[09:10] <c4r1o> so the whole volume bar is instead the second half of it couse when the cursor is half way volume is 0
[09:10] <IntuitiveNipple> centr0: Do "sudo fdisk -l" and that will list all drives/partitions that can be found
[09:10] <gluonman> IntuitiveNipple, it is in Sessions. It and compiz are just being initialized in an order I wish to reverse.
[09:11] <IntuitiveNipple> gluonman: Try adding a delay to the execution command
[09:11] <gluonman> IntuitiveNipple, can you tell me how to do that?
[09:11] <centr0> IntuitiveNipple, just those 3.  sda1, sda2, sda5 = swap
[09:11] <usa1> fdisk is my favorite command!!
[09:11] <IntuitiveNipple> gluonman: "sleep 20s && gnome-terminal"
[09:11] <trylobytero> so, should I go and ask at the store where I bought it?
[09:11] <gluonman> IntuitiveNipple, I'll try that. Thank you.
[09:11] <IntuitiveNipple> gluonman: Try it from the command-line first to be sure it is what you want
[09:12] <gluonman> IntuitiveNipple, alright.
[09:12] <IntuitiveNipple> centr0: Then it looks like the drive isn't connected correctly, or is configured incorrectly
[09:12] <jim_p> !flash
[09:13] <New2ubuntu> o install netgear wg311v3 drivers?
[09:13] <r2s1>  tried cat /etc/resolv.conf | grep nameserver | awk '{print $2}' .. but the /etc/resolv.conf got this comments that has the word nameserver in it too
[09:13] <drue_> how do i install ThunderBird Via Terminal?
[09:13] <IntuitiveNipple> gluonman: To control the order you could put both start-up commands in a script, and then call the script when the session starts, too. That way they are guaranteed to follow the order of launch in the script
[09:13] <r2s1> where else can I extract info to get the current DNS server for the PC ??
[09:13] <r2s1> to use it in script
[09:13] <usa1> gogle
[09:13] <trylobytero> IntuitiveNipple: now it hangs sooner, at "..TIMER: vector=0x31 apic1=0 pin1=2 apic2=0 pin2=0", with apic=off
[09:13] <usa1> goole
[09:14] <IntuitiveNipple> drue_: sudo apt-get install thunderbird
[09:14] <usa1> oh hell...nm
[09:14] <gluonman> IntuitiveNipple, alright. Thank you.
[09:14] <drue_> Thanks
[09:14] <IntuitiveNipple> trylobytero: Some machines won't start without ACPI, unfortunately... Try with "-noacpi"
[09:14] <powertool08> what is the strongest encryption for gpg: DSA & Elgamal, DSA, or RSA?
[09:14] <genii> r2s1: Just pipe result you have through a sed command to exclude lines with # in them
[09:15] <IntuitiveNipple> trylobytero: lol hang on... did you use "apic=off" or "acpi=off" - be VERY careful; it should be ACPI
[09:15] <usa1> powertool08  what ya trying to hide.   ??  lol
[09:15] <powertool08> usa1: just files I don't want other users into, something that can't be bruteforced easily
[09:16] <packetloss> my eth0 won't come up automatically after restart, so i have to turn it up manually like this; sudo ifup eth0... how could i fix this ?
[09:16] <usa1> ok
[09:16] <trylobytero> IntuitiveNipple: sorry, i used acpi, got wrong typing it here
[09:16] <genii> r2s1: sed '/#/d'         for instance
[09:16] <IntuitiveNipple> trylobytero: OK, worth checking :)
[09:17] <usa1> powertool08 and just passwording doesnt keep ya friends out,  wow
[09:17] <IntuitiveNipple> trylobytero: Try some of the other kernel command-line options on the wiki page, see if any give a better result
[09:17] <usa1> what kinda friends u got anyway>?
[09:17] <powertool08> usa1: curious ones
[09:17] <usa1> i hear ya
[09:18] <r2s1> genii: thanks
[09:18] <IntuitiveNipple> powertool08: Unless you're worried about the NSA trying to crack the encrpytion, I don't think you need to worry which algorithm is used. The main variable is the quality of the passphrase
[09:18] <usa1> lol  ya what IntuitiveNipple said!!
[09:19] <powertool08> IntuitiveNipple: ok, thanks.
[09:19] <usa1> but then again. IntuitiveNipple it could very well be the NSA....lol
[09:19] <trylobytero> IntuitiveNipple: with -noacpi it hangs where it did the first time, acpi exceptions
[09:19] <talntid> .. Did someone say NSA?
[09:19] <c4r1o> lol
[09:19]  * IntuitiveNipple has encrypted disks, with no passwords, only accessible with a USB key inserted during boot
[09:19] <talntid> Who ratted me out?
[09:20] <powertool08> IntuitiveNipple: is there anything strong enough to keep the government at bay? I assumed they could crack anything in a matter of days
[09:20] <IntuitiveNipple> trylobytero: I'm afraid it sounds like you've got a 'bad' one
[09:20] <talntid> powertool08, I'll be at your house soon, to inspect your storage media...
[09:20] <IntuitiveNipple> powertool08: sure; multiple layers of different encryptions
[09:20] <c4r1o> well if they can access the terminal, if not i don't think
[09:20] <DaCapn> powertool08 Just use the encryption scheme that the NSA uses and you'll know that you're safe.
[09:20] <dada_> When i install 8.04 aternate  from disk ,it always tell me to mount CD/ROM ,Why?
[09:20] <powertool08> talntid: haha, I don't have much to hide, just curious since I've always heard if the government wants to know, they will
[09:20] <usa1> i agree with DaCapn
[09:20] <DaCapn> They surely wouldn't use something that they could break would they?
[09:21] <talntid> meh. the govt has good intel people.
[09:21] <talntid> but not everything is crackable in a matter of days
[09:21] <powertool08> DaCapn: who knows...
[09:21] <c4r1o> dacapn i think the opposite...they should be able to break it in order to recover it....
[09:21] <dada_> ：（
[09:22] <usa1> heya powertool08, if ya got anything the gov. wants. please dont come by the house anymore...  k?
[09:22] <IntuitiveNipple> I think you've got far bigger problems than worrying about 'the government' cracking your files, if you're that concerned!
[09:22] <usa1> lol
[09:22] <talntid> powertool08, however, all they need to do is put the HDD in a cleanroom, and do the data recovery that way... ;)
[09:22] <c4r1o> loool
[09:22] <IntuitiveNipple> Either that or an excessive dose of paranoia :)
[09:22] <powertool08> usa1: sure thing, but I doubt they have any interest in me
[09:23] <c4r1o> who knows powertool......who knows^^
[09:23] <talntid> cumknot?
[09:23] <talntid> who names themself that?
[09:23] <c4r1o> lol
[09:23] <administator> my name noom
[09:23] <powertool08> IntuitiveNipple: I'm not worried at all, like I said, I just need basic encryption but the NSA was brought up and I was curious
[09:23] <administator> i'm thai
[09:23] <DaCapn> talntid provided that the encryption implementation is secure (no watermarking or side-channel, etc) then there's not really anything they can do about it.
[09:24] <TheGovernment> We didn't have any interest in you... till now...
[09:24] <IntuitiveNipple> powertool08: I know; but it's fun to poke at the subject
[09:24] <administator> what
[09:24] <utnubudnai> jim_p, you can add this to your source.list:deb http://medibuntu.sos-sts.com/repo/ hardy free non-free,you can have a try
[09:24] <turtle_> hey
[09:24] <powertool08> lol @ TheGovernment
[09:24] <caramel_cweet> piye
[09:24] <talntid> DaCapn, It should be possible to read the data manually.. it'd take a long time to recreate it, but possible
[09:24] <caramel_cweet> halo
[09:25] <utnubudnai> maybe too slow for you,and you can search "ubuntu hardy w32codecs" for that!
[09:25]  * genii traces 158.37.156.221 to TheGovernment's secret lair
[09:25] <utnubudnai> use google for that! jim_p
[09:25] <jim_p> utnubudnai: i did. it says Package w32codecs is not available, but is referred to by another packag
[09:25] <DaCapn> talntid You would read nothing but seemingly random data. That doesn't circumvent the encryption.
[09:25] <talntid> so, I just found out the great wonders of VLC streaming......
[09:26] <ushills> Can anyone suggest a cheap scanner that works with ubuntu
[09:26] <powertool08> ushills: HP
[09:26] <usa1> powertool08   do it like we did when i was a bit younger, when they knock on the door, flush it down the can, oh...heck. cant do that i guess
[09:26] <usa1> lol
[09:26] <usa1> nm
[09:26] <administator> Ok
[09:26] <talntid> i'm VPN tunneled into my home computer, from work...
[09:26] <utnubudnai> jim_p, can you paste the error messages generated?
[09:26] <jim_p> utnubudnai: the ubuntu guys decided to provide codecs and dvd support sor $$ !!! let me find the link
[09:26] <talntid> and streaming the DVD that is in my home computer DVD rom...
[09:26] <BlueEagle> ushills: any scanner that runs the niash chipset are cheap and compatible.
[09:26] <talntid> about 60 miles away. pretty neat
[09:26] <BlueEagle> ushills: scanjets seem to be mostly supported.
[09:27] <ushills> do most hp work with ubuntu, i thought Hp were expensive.  i tried an artec but no luck
[09:27] <utnubudnai> jim_p, ^^,there must be some free for you!
[09:27] <jim_p> utnubudnai: http://ostatic.com/173388-blog/canonical-opens-codec-sales-and-potential-can-of-worms#rss
[09:27] <powertool08> usa1: hmm, perhaps I could rig one of those crazy self-destruct, burn the house down emergency government is after me things like in the movie Conspiracy Theory :P
[09:27] <usa1> for sure
[09:27] <usa1> that would work great
[09:28] <talntid> powertool08, i'll give you a tip about that
[09:28] <powertool08> talntid: oh?
[09:28] <Atax> Hi all, in which directory should new programs be placed (im basically looking for c:\programs under linux)?
[09:28] <BlueEagle> ushills: THe scanjet 3300c (if they still make those) are cheap and they work.
[09:28] <talntid> ... remember when in school, they tell you to practice your emergency plan?
[09:28] <talntid> DON'T! your house will burn down.
[09:28] <powertool08> talntid: haha, good tip
[09:28] <talntid> and the insurance companies don't really buy the conspiracy story...
[09:28] <BlueEagle> talntid: Why, after all the years of school do doctors still call what they do "practice"?
[09:28] <jim_p> utnubudnai: http://pastebin.com/d6de86a90
[09:29] <talntid> BlueEagle, about a year ago, my lung collapsed.
[09:29] <powertool08> talntid: well thats the landlord's problem
[09:29] <talntid> at that time, i remember them bringing in a bunch of trainees to see how to fix a collapsed lung
[09:29] <powertool08> talntid: Should I find a need to burn the house down I either won't get far, or I'll disappear for quite some time
[09:29] <trylobytero> IntuitiveNipple: lol, the first thing I did when I taken the notebook out of the box it was to remove the "windows vista" tag, so the warranty is broken xDDDD
[09:29] <hateball> Atax: Are you refering to programs you're compiling from source? If you install from the repositories you need not bother, they'll end up where they should
[09:30] <talntid> supposedly i got very violent, verbally, when they were showing a trainee how to properly hold the drill, to drill into my chest and relieve the pressure.
[09:30] <IntuitiveNipple> trylobytero: Hmmm, stick it back! :)
[09:30] <ushills> thanks i will look for prices
[09:30] <jim_p> utnubudnai: any ideas?
[09:30] <talntid> which removed a large amount of trust i had in any doctors, actively practicing.
[09:31] <Atax> hateball: In this case I wonder where to put "Sonbird" as well as UrbanTerror, I cant launch them after I placed them in /usr/bin/*
[09:31] <trylobytero> IntuitiveNipple: i sticked it on my brothers t-shirt, joking, and he sticket it on the mirror of the elevator, now it's dissappeared
[09:31] <hateball> Atax: Have you downloaded .deb files? Or a tar.gz with source? or precompiled binaries?
[09:31] <trylobytero> vanished
[09:32] <usa1> talntid and...aint it the same with attorneys. they call what they do a "pratice"?
[09:32] <trylobytero> lolololol
[09:32] <IntuitiveNipple> trylobytero: :p
[09:32] <talntid> mmmhmmmm
[09:32] <jdevel> so far I'm liking linux more and more
[09:32] <Atax> hateball: they where both tar's or perhaps zip-files
[09:32] <bSON> hi
[09:32] <jdevel> thought it was going to be more of a pain
[09:32] <bSON> do i need a cups server running when i just print to a network printer?
[09:32] <Atax> hateball: I don t complie! :)
[09:33] <ali_> hi
[09:33] <Atax> hateball: compile!
[09:33] <IntuitiveNipple> Atax: probably, you've got to give the binaries executable permissions (chmod a+x <programm-name>)
[09:33] <ali_> is there any one?
[09:33] <usa1> no
[09:33] <jdevel> yes
[09:33] <hateball> Atax: If they were precompiled, you could just as well put them in your ~/ and chmod +x on them
[09:33] <hateball> Atax: Unless you need to have other users access it as well
[09:34] <IntuitiveNipple> Atax: usually, user-installed programs are put in /usr/local/bin (/usr/local/lib) or /opt/ depending in whether there is a complete package of files or not
[09:34] <Atax> But is the ~(home-dir) the propery directory to place file? There must be a equivalent to c:\programs
[09:34] <Atax> Thanks IntuitiveNipple: thats what i was looking for!
[09:34] <aki_> anyone have any idea why I can't enable better visual settings? I've GF 9800GTX and I've dled the drivers from package manager
[09:34] <Atax> Thanks guys!
[09:35] <jdevel> maybe your resolution settings?
[09:35] <jdevel> and color depth
[09:36] <hateball> Atax: If it's precompiled, it'd be easier for you to just put it in your ~/. Saves you headaches with upgrades etc
[09:36] <jdevel> might have to alter a conf file, or update driver
[09:36] <BlueEagle> jim_p: regarding that link. I think Canonical is doing the right thing in this case.
[09:36] <hateball> Atax: But sure, /usr/bin for binaries, /etc for settings and so forth, is the standard
[09:36] <IntuitiveNipple> Atax: you may be interested in the FHS then http://www.pathname.com/fhs/pub/fhs-2.3.html
[09:36] <hateball> !FHS | Atax
[09:37] <Atax> I know about FHS a bit, ... I previously looked up the wikipedia-article concerning FHS but it dident reveal what you just posted IntuitiveNipple!
[09:37] <jim_p> BlueEagle: i agree. canonical is a company and not some independant linux user out there, so it must play by the rules. but what happens when i want codecs? and i am NOT under the american law
[09:37] <IntuitiveNipple> Atax: Often you have to chase links to get to the good stuff :)
[09:38] <jdevel> that's the truth
[09:38] <Atax> But I ll look at the www.pathname.com, ... perhaps that will help if i have similar questions in the future!
[09:38] <jdevel> I just found what i needed after 5 hours of link hunting..
[09:38] <aki_> well res is set to 1280 x 1024 and I can't set it to higher.. can't find color depth.. and I dled the drivers today from the add/rmv app thingie
[09:38] <IntuitiveNipple> Atax: Just a skim read of the headings is very informative
[09:38] <Atax> IntuitiveNipple: Well, that s true ;)
[09:39] <jdevel> usually from the configs I've done you add the color depth, what flavor linux?
[09:39] <aki_> ubuntu
[09:39] <jdevel> of course
[09:39] <jdevel> silly question
[09:40] <IntuitiveNipple> aki_: Is the system using the open-source or restricted driver? Has it defaulted to fail-safe mode (that can often happen without you realising, and use the standard VESA driver which is limited)
[09:41] <zeno> hi how do  i set my default keyring?
[09:41] <zeno> or find it
[09:41] <zeno> nm-applet wants to access it but it is lokced
[09:42] <jim_p> any ideas about w32codecs?
[09:42] <IntuitiveNipple> zeno: Applications > Accessories > Passwords and Encryption Keys
[09:43] <aki_> IntuitiveNipple I think it's the restricted ones
[09:43] <aunvoh> Anyone here put linux on their ipod?
[09:43] <aki_> don't know about the other stuff
[09:43] <IntuitiveNipple> jim_p: I missed your original problem - I assume you're trying to install from medibuntu repository?
[09:43] <zeno> IntuitiveNipple: well its locked it to that menu only, i can ctrl alt f1 for a tty
[09:43] <IntuitiveNipple> aki: best to check:  egrep 'drivers/.*_drv' /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[09:43] <BlueEagle> jim_p: Then you grab something that are legal by your countrys standards.
[09:43] <Jordan_U> !anyone | aunvoh
[09:43] <jdevel> aki_
[09:43] <jdevel> http://www.ubuntux.org/reset-xwindows-color-depth
[09:44] <IntuitiveNipple> zeno: Is there no cancel button?
[09:44] <zeno> IntuitiveNipple: deney or ok
[09:44] <IntuitiveNipple> zeno: Usually the default keyring has the same password as your user  account log-in
[09:44] <jim_p> IntuitiveNipple: the w32codecs is no longer in meibuntu, here is why > http://ostatic.com/173388-blog/canonical-opens-codec-sales-and-potential-can-of-worms#rss
[09:45] <IntuitiveNipple> jim_p: really? since when?
[09:45] <jdevel> /
[09:45] <jim_p> BlueEagle: which is... w32codecs, which are not in medibuntu!!!
[09:45] <zeno> its not, o well ill just deney/reconfig
[09:45] <jdevel> take care all, time for some sleep
[09:45] <IntuitiveNipple> jim_p: http://packages.medibuntu.org/hardy/w32codecs.html
[09:48] <IntuitiveNipple> jim_p: That article says nothing about w32codecs not being in medibuntu
[09:48] <jim_p> IntuitiveNipple: :| how come it did not get it from the non-free repo then? i have it enabled!
[09:48] <jim_p> let me finish something and i will look it up
[09:48] <IntuitiveNipple> jim_p: Not sure on that one, unless there was a temporary network issue, or some package dependency issue
[09:49] <Kartagis> what do I need to install for file transferring over bluetooth?
[09:49] <todd_> jim_p, you can download one from the net!
[09:49] <jim_p> IntuitiveNipple: the article says about canonical providing codeds and dvd with $$ as exchange. so its logical for the w32 codecs to be removed from medibuntu
[09:49] <Jordan_U> Kartagis: Nothing, the applet that comes by default should do it
[09:50] <IntuitiveNipple> jim_p: No, Canonical is doing that to ensure there is a legal route for people that need it, to have the codecs.
[09:50] <Kartagis> Jordan_U, what if it doesn't?
[09:50] <redouan> hay
[09:50] <jim_p> IntuitiveNipple: then why were the codecs removed from there?
[09:50] <IntuitiveNipple> jim_p: medibuntu isn't operated by Canonical
[09:51] <Jordan_U> Kartagis: No idea. What happens when you try to use the bluetooth applet?
[09:51] <IntuitiveNipple> removed from where? The codecs are in the medibuntu repository!
[09:51] <Kartagis> Jordan_U, I haven't tried yet
[09:51] <patrick> how can i install ubuntu on a specified partion
[09:51] <Kartagis> Jordan_U, where is in anyway?
[09:51] <jim_p> IntuitiveNipple: i have the medibuntu in my sources.list, and i still dont get w32codecs
[09:52] <c4r1o> ubuntu installed with Wubi is on a partition or not?
[09:52] <IntuitiveNipple> Guest32520: Use the installer's "manual partitioning" option
[09:52] <Guest32520> how can i install ubuntu on a specified partion
[09:52] <jim_p> IntuitiveNipple: http://pastebin.com/d6de86a90
[09:52] <Kartagis> oh, system, preferences
[09:52] <trylobytero> IntuitiveNipple: however, I think I still can get a f*cking XP tag and sell this sh*t to any m*ron (now I'm hell m*d)
[09:52] <IntuitiveNipple> jim_p: Then there is a problem with the packaging system, or the network
[09:52] <Guest32520> ok
[09:53] <IntuitiveNipple> trylobytero: You can have the old Vista sticker from my laptop :) I know its around here somewhere!
[09:53] <Guest32520> ty
[09:53] <redouan> do you know somting abowt xhtml en html???
[09:53] <soneil> what they're selling isn't w32codecs; it's flumendo's implementation of various codecs.  w32codecs aren't theirs to license
[09:53] <Kartagis> Jordan_U, that applet is talking about a converter. do i need an extra device?
[09:53] <jim_p> IntuitiveNipple: there is a problem with medibuntu! the package has moved to non-free, it was removed from the medibuntu repo BUT NOT FROM THE SITE
[09:53] <trylobytero> I meant licence, not tag (sorry, i'm hell mad), but thanks :)
[09:54] <redouan> thx
[09:55] <dinocatz> IntuitiveNipple: Thanks! Installed lives... should work great for video editing
[09:55] <Kartagis> redouan, #html
[09:55] <trylobytero> the biggest sh*t is I'm leaving next Monday for a 7 months internship in another country (I'm Spanish, going to Scotland), and I need a notebook :'(
[09:56] <trylobytero> by the way, what's the difference between laptop and notebook? I don't know the difference, is there any difference anyway?
[09:56] <ikonia> trylobytero if you can't speak without swearing, please don't speak
[09:56] <ikonia> trylobytero staring it out doesn't change the fact that it;s swearing
[09:57] <trylobytero> ikonia: sorry, it won't happen again
[09:57] <ikonia> trylobytero appriciated
[09:57] <jim_p> ok installed w32codecs. thank you for your help IntuitiveNipple
[10:00] <usa1> and anyway, why ya need license, sell it with VISTA without...lol
[10:00] <peter_> Hi. I just installed tslib with apt-get, but I need to know the location of the library and its headers. How can I find out where they are? Thanks.
[10:00] <cherva> can anyone tell me a fast way to change identical information in many files at once ?
[10:01] <usa1> oh heck. most wont even know anyhow
[10:01] <cherva> peter_: whereis tslib
[10:01] <peter_> cherva: Tried it, doesn't help.
[10:02] <cherva> peter_: hmm don't know then :)
[10:02] <peter_> cherva: Neither does whereis libts :-)
[10:02] <yezhao> i'm wondering whether i can use clipboard between rxvt and firefox. looks like i can copy a url from rxvt and paste it into firefox.
[10:03] <yezhao> peter: dpkg -L tslib
[10:03] <yezhao> sorry. looks like i cannot copy a url from rxvt and paste it into firefox.
[10:03] <IntuitiveNipple> jim_p: glad you got it sorted. The w{32,64}codecs packages are still listed in the Packages files for apt: http://packages.medibuntu.org/dists/hardy/non-free/binary-i386/
[10:03] <jim_p> GRRR still i cant find the w32codecs package. can anyone give me a direct link?
[10:04] <IntuitiveNipple> jim_p: http://packages.medibuntu.org/hardy/w32codecs.html
[10:04] <jim_p> IntuitiveNipple: i was looking at the greek server for some non-free folder all this time
[10:04] <jim_p> IntuitiveNipple: direct link, this is only info
[10:04] <IntuitiveNipple> jim_p: Ahhh, a mirror issue maybe?
[10:04] <jim_p> IntuitiveNipple: dunno
[10:04] <IntuitiveNipple> jim_p: READ the page. link is at the bottom!
[10:05] <IntuitiveNipple> jim_p: Architecture: "i386" is the link
[10:05] <peter_> yezhao: Thanks.
[10:06] <jim_p> IntuitiveNipple: ok i know its the link there. but i want it to work from apt!!!
[10:07] <larryone> Hi, my users and groups manager has removed all users and groups, and removed me from sudoers.... is there any way to get this stuff back? It did it when I was adding a new user
[10:07] <vicky1408> hi..
[10:07] <larryone> to clarify: all users with 3 exceptions
[10:07] <jackhaos> hi
[10:07] <larryone> hi vicky
[10:07] <IntuitiveNipple> jim_p: double-check the repo is enabled in apt, and do an "apt-get update" too, the do "apt-cache madison w32codecs"
[10:08] <larryone> hi jackhaos
[10:08] <ikonia> larryone sure, no problem, what happened to make the users / groups go ?
[10:08] <ikonia> larryone: just trying to understand what happened before I expalin how to fix
[10:08] <jackhaos> sry
[10:08] <Arthur> How can I change the "frame per second" parameter in ivtv?
[10:08] <vicky1408> I tried to install ubuntu..but while installation the system hangs..why it is happening?
[10:08] <jackhaos> but I using Xp sp2
[10:08] <vicky1408> pls help me
[10:08] <peter_> yezhao: How can I get libts headers? I've downloaded a bunch of .so files, but have no headers
[10:08] <vicky1408> I tried to install ubuntu..but while installation the system hangs..why it is happening?
[10:09] <ikonia> jackhaos: what's the issue
[10:09] <jim_p> IntuitiveNipple: what is madison?
[10:09] <ikonia> vicky1408 quick test, when the system hangs can you press the caps lock button and make the keyboard light coem on /off
[10:09] <vicky1408> NO
[10:09] <jim_p> Indoctrine: and apt-cache search w32codecs returns nothing
[10:09] <vicky1408> the caps lock is not working at that time
[10:09] <jim_p> i have to go
[10:10] <_haywire_> cya jim_p
[10:10] <thiebaude> bye jim_p
[10:10] <jim_p> we will solve it in 3-4 hours when i return
[10:10] <jim_p> bye
[10:10] <IntuitiveNipple> jim_p: Then there is a problem with your apt lists
[10:10] <larryone> ikonia: I opened users and groups, put in my passwd, the list that came up was blank, not even me on it. I clicked add user, added a new user, and the list refreshed to show only root. I closed the tool and re-ran it, adding another user, same experience. now only root, me, and the second added user exist - auth log shows that root removed everything else....
[10:10] <swapna> please tell me how do i join xen developers network
[10:10] <vicky1408> ikonia are you there?
[10:10] <vicky1408> help me pls
[10:11] <vicky1408> the caps lock is not working at that time
[10:11] <ikonia> vicky1408 ok, so it's a total hard lock, the most common cause for that is a minor hardware issue, so what I'd suggest doing is when you boot the cd select the "memtest" option, this will take a long time to run, approxy 12- 24 hours
[10:11] <Tor___> Hello. I would like to remove certain applications from autostart, including the Gnome interface. How do I do this?
[10:11] <larryone> vicky1408: hold on
[10:11] <ikonia> vicky1408: but this will give you a quick scan of your memory in your machine to get an solid understanding it's "ok"
[10:11] <swapna> m trying to connect but then the box is getting closed
[10:11] <hoa3r> Hello. Since 2 days. I don't get any emails from evolution. In my webmail i received emails. Does anyboby have the same issue?
[10:11] <swapna> please help
[10:11] <vicky1408> oh ok
[10:11] <vicky1408> but after that it will be properly installed a?
[10:12] <thiebaude> vicky1408:how much memory does your computer have?
[10:12] <IntuitiveNipple> larryone: You'd have to have all users selected and press the Delete button to have Users and Groups delete them all
[10:12] <ikonia> larryone no problem, boot into "recovery" mode from the boot option and select a recovery shell, then do "usermod -G admin $username" replacing username with your user, when you reboot your user will be back in the sudouers list and you can use the gui to re-set thigns back up
[10:12] <vicky1408> 80GB
[10:12] <ikonia> vicky1408: thats not ram
[10:12] <usa1> not ya hdd
[10:12] <ikonia> vicky1408: how much ram (not disk) do you have
[10:12] <usa1> ya MEM
[10:12] <vicky1408> ok...256MB
[10:12] <thiebaude> ah
[10:12] <ikonia> vicky1408: your on the limit of what the installer needs
[10:12] <usa1> need more
[10:13] <ikonia> vicky1408: you can either run the memcheck option to test it, or use the "alternative cd" to do an instal
[10:13] <ikonia> usa1: no she doesn't need more
[10:13] <Arthur> Hi there. How can I change the "frame per second" parameter in VLC?
[10:13] <thiebaude> ikona:i had 256mb before i went to 512, its slow with 256 installing
[10:13] <usa1> 256MB, k if u say so
[10:13] <ikonia> thiebaude: yes it is
[10:13] <larryone> IntuitiveNipple: didn't do that... the tool seemed to be hanging a bit, and so i closed it. something has gong wrong somewhere. (and I certainly wouldn't be careless enough to do that to my system)
[10:13] <larryone> ikonia: thanks, i'll give it a go
[10:13] <vicky1408> ya..but it is said that ubuntu will be installed in 256MB..
[10:13] <ikonia> vicky1408: yes, and your on the limit of the minimum required
[10:14] <vicky1408> oh
[10:14] <ikonia> vicky1408: so a.) check your memory is "ok" with memcheck
[10:14] <vicky1408> ya i will try ikonia..thanks
[10:14] <Ronald> ikonia, hello Helpdesk Master ;)
[10:14] <ikonia> vicky1408: b.) consider using the alternative install disk, that users less memory
[10:14] <mlLK> when i install apache on ubuntu does it run apache from /usr/local/apache or /etc/apache
[10:14] <vicky1408> ok
[10:14]  * ikonia nods to the mighty Ronald 
[10:14] <usa1> thiebaude thats what i am saying, not much is still able to use only 256MB with out some problems
[10:14] <thiebaude> bbl
[10:14] <swapna> please tell me how do i join xen developers irc
[10:14] <ikonia> swapna: read their website

[10:15] <vicky1408> also can you suggest me to use any linux in windows?
[10:15] <thiebaude> usa1:8.10 runs great with 512
[10:15] <ikonia> vicky1408: no you can't use linux in windows
[10:15] <vicky1408> i heared about DSL
[10:15] <sling-shot> I have Compro VideoMate TV/PVR/FM card. My DTH set top box puts cable signal out at 847.25 frequency. I have installed xawtv and tv timer. None of the programs including Myth TV are able to catch the signal. Ubuntu 8.04. Any help is welcome.

[10:16] <usa1> ikonia  typo
[10:16] <Vincent> I want to know how to configure the boot manager?
[10:16] <swapna> actually i know how to join, but my xchat box is getting closed immediately after i join that
[10:16] <IntuitiveNipple> Arthur: You can view the options that are available like this:  vlc -H | grep '\--.*-fps'
[10:16] <swapna> :(
[10:16] <Vincent> the boot manager should boot windows xp as default
[10:16] <ikonia> vicky1408: well, in that case you are right, things like DSL use less memory, if you join ##linux you'll get more info
[10:17] <ikonia> swapna: its invite only
[10:17] <jackhaos> hey , can you help me 1 question plz
[10:17] <zen_> it's fantsy
[10:17] <swapna> ikonia: thanks
[10:17] <sling-shot> Vincent: go to /boot/grub/menu.lst
[10:17] <vicky1408> oh ok..
[10:18] <ikonia> Guest81449: edit /boot/grub/menu.lst file and at the top there is a line that is default 0 change default 0 to default $number, where number is the position XP appears on the boot loader menu, starting from 0
[10:18] <drue_> 8.10 comes out October 30,2008 Right?

[10:19] <ikonia> vicky1408: type "/join ##liunux"
[10:19] <usa1> its a channel
[10:19] <ikonia> vicky1408: ##linux is another channel, this one is called #ubuntu
[10:19] <vicky1408> ok
[10:19] <ikonia> vicky1408: that should read "join ##linux"
[10:19] <ikonia> ugh
[10:19] <Guest26742> Hey! Can someone help me? I want to configure the boot manager, so it will boot windows xp as default.
[10:20] <ikonia> vicky1408: sorry "/join ##linux"

[10:20] <Arthur> IntuitiveNipple: I don't want to do it using the terminal.... How to do it with the graphic interface?
[10:21]  * IntuitiveNipple knocks 54707 off for ikonia
[10:21] <jackhaos> ikonia: It's success.But I burn direct from ISO file .I need burn with method boot DVD ??
[10:21] <ikonia> jackhaos no, you should burn the iso, thats fine
[10:21] <Arthur> Arthur
[10:21] <ikonia> jackhaos: try booting from another cd to test the bios is setup correclty
[10:21] <Arthur> Arthur:
[10:21] <jackhaos> yes , I do like you say
[10:21] <ikonia> IntuitiveNipple: huh ?
[10:22] <IntuitiveNipple> Arthur: use the options that the terminal --full-help reports, in the open dialog additional options
[10:22] <jackhaos> thx ikonia
[10:22] <IntuitiveNipple> ikonia: Guest26742 not Guest81449 I think you meant :)
[10:22] <ikonia> IntuitiveNipple ahhh thank you
[10:22] <Arthur> thanks!
[10:23] <Ademan> anyone know of a tool to open *.sis files?
[10:23] <talntid> blahhh
[10:23] <jackhaos> ikonia : Can use blank DVD replace CD???
[10:23] <talntid> time to put my ar-15 back together, and go to sleep
[10:23] <IntuitiveNipple> Arthur: It's the way I do it - unless you search the web site, which takes longer to find the latest options. checking vlc's -H output is the 100% sure way of knowing the option has been built into the version you are using
[10:23] <ikonia> jackhaos Hmmm, you "can" but I've seen that cause issues with certain software packages
[10:24] <Arthur> IntuitiveNipple: Thanks!
[10:24] <IntuitiveNipple> jackhaos: For writing installation CDs? I've always done that and not had a problem so far, so yeah, you should be okay (your actual results and experiences may vary, etc etc) :)
[10:26] <jackhaos> IntuitiveNipple: I will try again. thx anyway!
[10:26] <contarc> i am booted on rescue mode but i cannot write to /usr/sbin (install/remove packages).  any ideas how i can do this?  permissions are fine 755 and i am using user root
[10:26] <IntuitiveNipple> Ademan: http://wiki.forum.nokia.com/index.php/How_to_unpack_.sis_file
[10:26] <ikonia> contarc what is the error
[10:26] <ikonia> contarc: the file system is probably mounted read only
[10:27] <arunvkumar> ﻿how can i log in to mysql server that is located on anthr server from my cmptr through command line?
[10:27] <Ademan> thanks alot IntuitiveNipple
[10:27] <ikonia> arunvkumar mysql -h $hostname -u$user -p
[10:27] <paul68> what is the best way to do an upgrade to a new version example from 8.04 => 8.10 just do an upgrade or start from 0
[10:28] <ikonia> paul68 you can upgrade, my personal opinion is upgrades are not good, and LTS to non-lts version are an even worse idea
[10:28] <ikonia> paul68: but thats only a personal opinio
[10:28] <contarc> ikonia: it says permission denied.  it's not read only. i can write everywhere else but to /usr*
[10:28] <ikonia> opinion
[10:28] <IntuitiveNipple> paul68: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading
[10:29] <ikonia> contarc: please put the output of mount in a pastebin please.
[10:29] <IntuitiveNipple> contarc: is it possible that /usr is mounted from another file-system?
[10:29] <contarc> no. it's only one partition
[10:29] <ikonia> contarc show me the output of id
[10:29] <paul68> ikonia:  I understand if I start from 0 which files can I backup in order to reduce the installation time for drivers ect?
[10:30] <paul68> IntuitiveNipple: thanks
[10:30] <ikonia> paul68 you can't drivers are int he kernel, so they are a clean install
[10:30] <ikonia> paul68: you can put your user data in your home dir, and backup /home
[10:31] <paul68> ikonia: ok  I understand
[10:31] <c4r1o> guys i'd like to use compiz to change my desktop, looking in synaptics it should already been installed, but i can't find it....any clue?
[10:31] <ikonia> c4r1o compiz is a process that runs in the background
[10:31] <ikonia> c4r1o: you need to install ccsm to configure it
[10:32] <c4r1o> thx, how can i do that?
[10:32] <c4r1o> from synaptics as well?
[10:32] <ikonia> c4r1o open the package manager and install the package called ccsm
[10:32] <c4r1o> thx
[10:32] <c4r1o> there's no ccsm package there :-(
[10:33] <IntuitiveNipple> c4r1o: For the basics (if you don't laready know): System > Preferences > Appearance > Visual Effects
[10:33] <ikonia> c4r1o what version of ubuntu are you using
[10:33] <c4r1o> latest one, downloaded yesterday
[10:33] <IntuitiveNipple> c4r1o: sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager
[10:33] <ikonia> c4r1o: search for ccsm
[10:33] <ikonia> c4r1o: you'll find there is a package called simple-ccsm
[10:34] <c4r1o> yeah simple-ccsm found!
[10:34] <c4r1o> i install that one
[10:35] <c4r1o> ok what about now, it's installed properly
[10:35] <ikonia> c4r1o: then use it
[10:35] <c4r1o> and thx btw ^_^
[10:35] <ikonia> c4r1o: it's quite self explanitory
[10:36] <c4r1o> ah ok found it in system
[10:36] <c4r1o> thx ikonia
[10:38] <kibibyte> hi
[10:38] <kibibyte> i ahve question
[10:38] <Indoctrine> !ask kibibyte
[10:39] <Indoctrine> !ask | kibibyte
[10:39] <linuxius> hi! I have an USB-Device (cycling-computer), which only has an Windows-Driver (http://paste.ubuntuusers.de/392335/) - a simple one, as it seems. Is there a possibility to programm an simple linux-driver?
[10:39] <kibibyte> when i srun command with sudo my JAVA_HOMe env variable is not visible
[10:39] <kibibyte> bt when i run it whoud sudo then it is viisble
[10:39] <ikonia> kibibyte sudo JAVA_HOME=path javac -c $blach
[10:40] <ikonia> kibibyte or sudo -E blah
[10:40] <kibibyte> ok
[10:41]  * a[2121]e slaps Pr0f`zann around a bit with a large trout
[10:42] <IntuitiveNipple> linuxius: It looks like it uses a standard serial (modem) connection, so you should be able to set up a module alias in Linux to one of the usb-serial drivers - a good chance that'd work, then connect with a serial terminal application like gtkterm
[10:44] <needhelp> Hello, I use FireFox and have installed mozilla-plugin-vlc. But still I get only a blank screen with the text "(no video)" from this link: http://www.bt.no/webtv/?id=14093
[10:44] <linuxius> ﻿IntuitiveNipple: I'm not used to programming. How do I do that?
[10:45] <cherva> In my Places menu I have an FTP://* link and when I click on it nautilus and firefox opens at the same time ... how to prevent firefox from opening ftp://* links ?
[10:45] <IntuitiveNipple> linuxius: See the output of "modinfo usbserial" - note that you can pass a USB vendor:product ID to it - give it the one from your bike-computer
[10:45] <larryone> ikonia: I went a step further. found out all of the users like daemon and stuff were gone also. booted the install disk, copied the bulk of /etc/passwd /etc/shadow /etc/group back into my systems /etc/ dir - preserving the 3 remaining logins.
[10:46] <LuYu> does anybody here know what to do when an SD card becomes unwritable after partitioning?
[10:46] <ikonia> larryone sounds fine
[10:46] <LuYu> is there some way to force the disk to be writable again?
[10:46] <ikonia> LuYu not put a file system on it ?
[10:46] <larryone> ikonia: so now i'm booted properly, and have the real root passwd incase this happens again
[10:46] <ikonia> LuYu: mounted it read only
[10:46] <LuYu> no, i want to write to it
[10:46] <IntuitiveNipple> linuxius: To load the module you'd do something like: "sudo modprobe usbserial vendor=0x1d9d product=0x1000"
[10:46] <ikonia> LuYu it is probably mounted read only
[10:46] <LuYu> it gets mounted rw, but it denies permission for all writes
[10:47] <LuYu> no, i checked
[10:47] <LuYu> the rw flag was definitely there
[10:47] <larryone> ikonia: made backups incase it happens when i open the users and groups manager again.... I really want to try to find out why this happened.  Do I have all thhe files I need? passwd, shadow, group, sudoers.  ??
[10:47] <ikonia> LuYu what is the permission
[10:47] <needhelp> I need help!  I use FireFox and have installed mozilla-plugin-vlc. But still I get only a blank screen with the text "(no video)" from this link: http://www.bt.no/webtv/?id=14093
[10:47] <ikonia> larryone prety much
[10:47] <larryone> col
[10:47] <LuYu> should be the same as this disk
[10:47] <IntuitiveNipple> linuxius: if that works, you'd add the options to /etc/modprobe.d/options : "options usbserial  vendor=0x1d9d product=0x1000" so it works every time you load it
[10:47] <ushills> how do i run a script as sudo at boot?
[10:48] <ikonia> !init | ushills
[10:48] <LuYu> i did a dd copy of the partition on this card (2GB) and then used gpartd to expand it to the size of the new card (8GB)
[10:48] <LuYu> however, this card (no change of course) allows writing
[10:48] <ikonia> LuYu I asked what permissions it was
[10:48] <ikonia> LuYu: also what file system is on it
[10:48] <LuYu> the 8GB card doesnt
[10:49] <LuYu> the two systems are identical
[10:49] <linuxius> IntuitiveNipple: ok, I will try this now
[10:49] <LuYu> it boots fine and everything is the same
[10:49] <ikonia> LuYu: stop making random comments and answer the uetions
[10:49] <ikonia> questions
[10:49] <LuYu> the permissions are exactly the same as on here
[10:49] <LuYu> i cant write to my home directory on that disk
[10:49] <ikonia> LuYu what are the permissons and what file system is it
[10:49] <LuYu> fat16
[10:49] <ikonia> LuYu stop making random comments, and answer the questions
[10:50] <LuYu> im trying
[10:50] <ikonia> LuYu: right -so fat16 doesn't support permissions
[10:50] <ikonia> LuYu: so there is a good start
[10:50] <natalisushka> Hi, I want to by a laptop that is compatible with ubuntu, and ofcourse I've checked the list provided by ubuntu. I want to go for Dell Vestro 1310. The problem that there are also differences between some of the generations of vestro 1310 like in the VGA chippest. Please advice, what would you go for: An integrated Intell VGA, or NVidia external VGA?
[10:50] <ikonia> LuYu: so it needs to be mouonted with the user rw options
[10:50] <larryone> ikonia: I opened the users and groups tool again, only root was listed there... not me, not any other account. closed it again, and checked my passwd files and all. they're ok. Why would the tool list only the root user???
[10:50] <LuYu> hold on
[10:50] <ikonia> larryone thats a very good question
[10:50] <LuYu> ill have to revise that
[10:51] <LuYu> its jffs2
[10:51] <ushills> ubottu. i have a script to start junglediskmonitor but want it to automatically run in the background when anyone logs in.
[10:51] <LuYu> i guess its sitting on a fat16 partition
[10:51] <ikonia> LuYu the partitions is not importa,t the file system is
[10:51] <kushalsejwal> Good Day everybody, I was wondering are GCC and CC are the same? I mean I use CC or GCC command does that make any difference?
[10:52] <ikonia> kushalsejwal they are environment variables that point tot he c and c++ compilers
[10:52] <LuYu> mtd0 on / type jffs2 (rw,noatime)
[10:52] <IntuitiveNipple> linuxius: You'd also probably want to add an entry in  "/etc/modprobe.d/aliases" so the driver is loaded whenever the device is connected. something like "alias usb:v1D9Dp1000 usbserial"
[10:52] <larryone> kushalsejwal: not the same but usually makes no difference
[10:52] <LuYu> i know
[10:52] <ikonia> kushalsejwal: most just use CC
[10:52] <ikonia> LuYu please pastebin the output of "mount" and the output of "ls -la $mount_point" in a pastebin
[10:52] <linuxius> IntuitiveNipple: when I type in the "sudo modprobe usbserial vendor=0x1d9d product=0x1000" , how do I know that it worked?
[10:52] <IntuitiveNipple> larryone: what user IDs do the user accounts have?
[10:52] <LuYu> however, since its a file system within a file system, the question gets weirder
[10:52] <kushalsejwal> ikonia larryone : thanks guys I would use CC only :)
[10:53] <ikonia> LuYu you can't have a file system within a file system
[10:53] <LuYu> mtd0 on / type jffs2 (rw,noatime)
[10:53] <LuYu> proc on /proc type proc (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)
[10:53] <LuYu> varrun on /var/run type tmpfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,mode=0755)
[10:53] <LuYu> varlock on /var/lock type tmpfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,mode=1777)
[10:53] <ikonia> LuYu: a partition is format with a file system - you can't change it a directory level
[10:53] <FloodBot2> LuYu: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[10:53] <LuYu> udev on /dev type tmpfs (rw,mode=0755)
[10:53] <IntuitiveNipple> linuxius: check loaded modules using something like "lsmod | grep serial" and check the log-file: "tail /var/log/kern.log"
[10:53] <LuYu> devshm on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw)
[10:53] <ikonia> LuYu I asked you to use a pastebin
[10:53] <ikonia> LuYu: PLEASE start listening
[10:53] <larryone> IntuitiveNipple: the defaults they were given. added users incrementing from 1000  the rest are the usual system and subsystem users   all with defaults
[10:53] <larryone> i'm user 1000, first one added
[10:54] <jaakkome> Hey, can somebody recommend a tool for creating RSS-feeds (for podcasting)? Is there one in the standard repositories?
[10:54] <IntuitiveNipple> larryone: Hmmm, there's something strange agoing on!
[10:54] <LuYu> well, ive never heard of a pastebin before
[10:54] <LuYu> sorry
[10:54] <ikonia> LuYu: so say "I don't know what a pastebin is"
[10:54] <ikonia> !pastebin
[10:54] <jaakkome> (something easier than emacs, that is) :]
[10:54] <linuxius> IntuitiveNipple: it says "usbserial              34152  0

[10:54] <popey> jaakkome: we use wordpress and podpress for our Ubuntu Podcast - http://podcast.ubuntu-uk.org/
[10:54] <larryone> IntuitiveNipple: certainly is.... I've never seen this behaviour from the user and groups manager on other systems
[10:54] <kushalsejwal> !ATI
[10:55] <IntuitiveNipple> linuxius: that proves it is loaded... now check the log-file to see if the device is recognised... you should see a /dev/ttyUSB* device if it worked
[10:55] <kushalsejwal> !bot
[10:55] <IntuitiveNipple> larryone: I fixed a bug some time ago relating to something similar, and it was to do with a gconf masking setting
[10:56] <jaakkome> popey, thank you, taking a look at that now
[10:56] <linuxius> IntuitiveNipple: it says: http://paste.ubuntuusers.de/392339/

[10:57] <needhelp> How do I save a video from a website to my harddisc ?
[10:58] <LuYu> both the cards have the same mount output
[10:58] <IntuitiveNipple> linuxius: That log suggested you don't need usbserial at all.
[10:58] <IntuitiveNipple> linuxius: cdc_acm 1-4:1.0: ttyACM0: USB ACM device
[10:58] <linuxius> IntuitiveNipple: so that means?
[10:58] <larryone> IntuitiveNipple: I'll have a look and see if theres something funny there, but I dont have alot of experience with gconf. unfortunately i'm still on gibbon. upgrade to heron broke my test system, so until i get it working i'm goin to leave my prod system as is
[10:58] <ikonia> LuYu so / is the card ?
[10:58] <ikonia> LuYu: and this is an ubuntu install ?
[10:58] <LuYu> right
[10:58] <LuYu> yes it is
[10:59] <ikonia> LuYu ok, so show me the output for "id" please
[10:59] <SOG> after make defconfig, there is no more need to load .config in make menuconfig, right ?
[10:59] <linuxius> ﻿IntuitiveNipple: It hoped it would work just like a memory stick or so....
[10:59] <LuYu> olpc kernel, though
[10:59] <LuYu> okay
[10:59] <IntuitiveNipple> larryone: Interesting! Gutsy was where the bug was
[10:59] <ikonia> SOG: thats default
[10:59] <larryone> IntuitiveNipple: is there a fix released for gutsy?
[10:59] <georgina> How do I tell how much space I have left on my hard drive through command line
[10:59] <ikonia> LuYu: olpc kernelolpc kernel ?
[10:59] <larryone> i am running with all updates...
[10:59] <SOG> ya ikonia I just need to edit something from the default
[10:59] <ikonia> SOG ok, so do it
[11:00] <LuYu> hmmm
[11:00] <IntuitiveNipple> larryone: There was for the issue I worked on, but I don't think it is identical to your issue at all.
[11:00] <LuYu> hold on
[11:00] <LuYu> ill check
[11:00] <ikonia> LuYu what is olpc kernel
[11:00] <IntuitiveNipple> georgina: df
[11:00] <LuYu> hold on
[11:00] <ikonia> LuYu is this ubuntu yes/no ?
[11:01] <larryone> IntuitiveNipple: ok, i'll just poke around a bit with gconf a bit. If I can replicate the problem on a test box I might report it as a bug
[11:01] <ikonia> larryone: certainly sounds worth reporting
[11:01] <LuYu> Linux HostName 2.6.22-20071231.2.olpc.83e0631da83a269 #1 PREEMPT Mon Dec 31 10:37:17 EST 2007 i586 GNU/Linu
[11:01] <ikonia> LuYu is this ubuntu yes/no
[11:02] <LuYu> everything is ubuntu except a few files copied from the OLPC system
[11:02] <LuYu> yes
[11:02] <jaakkome> popeye, I suspect our university webserver does not meet the minimum requirements for wordpress :[
[11:02] <ikonia> LuYu that kernel is not ubuntu
[11:02] <ikonia> LuYu show me "lsb_release -a" please

[11:03] <IntuitiveNipple> larryone: I can find the original bug title but not the report itself :p
[11:04] <juliandevwgf> can anyone recommend a good video converter
[11:04] <LuYu> Distributor ID: Ubuntu
[11:04] <LuYu> Description:    Ubuntu 7.10
[11:04] <LuYu> Release:        7.10
[11:04] <LuYu> Codename:       gutsy
[11:04] <SOG> ikonia my questions is, does the make oldconfig, or make defconfig  will generate a .config file which I need to load when I do make menuconfig ?
[11:04] <FloodBot2> LuYu: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[11:04] <popey> juliandevwgf: winff
[11:04] <larryone> IntuitiveNipple: dang... well I'll see if i can replicate this
[11:04] <ikonia> SOG .config is loaded by default when you do a make $whateverconfig
[11:05] <SOG> Oh, okay, I see thanks ikonia
[11:05] <linuxius> IntuitiveNipple: so I don't need no particular driver?
[11:05] <LuYu> http://paste.ubuntu.com/55941/
[11:05] <ikonia> LuYu: I'm quite confused that a.) why you have a non-ubuntu kernel b.) why you using an unusual file system for your root file system c.) why you expect to write to your /(root) file system as a non-privileged user
[11:05] <juliandevwgf> winff =unsupported codec for output
[11:06] <LuYu> because a stock ubuntu kernel cannot properly run the OLPC hardware
[11:06] <LuYu> or so i assume
[11:06] <popey> juliandevwgf: what do you want to convert and what do you want to convert to?
[11:06] <m3thod> what program is used, to copy dvds to hardrive
[11:06] <ikonia> LuYu thats a pretty bad assumption
[11:06] <juliandevwgf> vob to avi
[11:06] <ikonia> LuYu also that doesn't explain the unusual file system
[11:06] <LuYu> the instructions on installing ubuntu to an OLPC required this
[11:06] <IntuitiveNipple> linuxius: It appears that the cdc-acm driver has recognised the device
[11:06] <popey> juliandevwgf: get ffmpeg from medibuntu and use winff, should work
[11:07] <m3thod> udf
[11:07] <juliandevwgf> il give it a try
[11:07] <juliandevwgf> thanks
[11:07] <linuxius> IntuitiveNipple: and how can I mount the device?
[11:07] <popey> ikonia / LuYu i know someone who has put ubuntu on their OLPC
[11:07] <toresn> how can i watch a remote ssh session on my system?
[11:07] <popey> toresn: screen -x ?
[11:07] <ikonia> LuYu so what command are you using to try to right to your file system
[11:07] <ikonia> popey be interested if your forced to use jjfs2 file system
[11:07] <LuYu> i didnt try anything
[11:08] <ikonia> LuYu you said you couldn't write to it
[11:08] <LuYu> i just observed that i couldnt write to the new disk
[11:08] <LuYu> touch monkey.txt
[11:08] <ikonia> LuYu in what direcotry
[11:08] <LuYu> on this copy, it works
[11:08] <LuYu> my home directory
[11:08] <ikonia> LuYu: please pastebin ls -la /home
[11:08] <LuYu> if i dont have write permission there, i wont have it anywhere
[11:08] <popey> LuYu / ikonia http://www.olpcnews.com/software/operating_system/how_to_ubuntu_on_xo_laptop.html
[11:08] <LuYu> this is the writable disk
[11:09] <ikonia> LuYu: please pastebin ls -la /home
[11:09] <LuYu> but it isnt a permissions issue
[11:09] <LuYu> i already checked
[11:09] <ikonia> LuYu: please pastebin ls -la /home
[11:09] <LuYu> i would have to reboot for that to make any difference
[11:09] <LuYu> im running on the writable disk now
[11:09] <ikonia> LuYu if your not going to provide info, we can't help
[11:09] <IntuitiveNipple> larryone: found it! Don't think it is related though: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/141067
[11:09] <LuYu> look, im not trying to be combative here
[11:09] <juliandevwgf> installed ffmpeg still same problem
[11:10] <ikonia> LuYu your not doing anything
[11:10] <toresn> popey: that will just open my screen session
[11:10] <LuYu> but i am asking a hardware question
[11:10] <ikonia> LuYu then you should ask in ##ubuntu
[11:10] <popey> toresn: -x allows shared screen session..
[11:10] <ikonia> LuYu: in ##hardware sorry
[11:10] <toresn> popey: i'd like to see what users connected to my system is doing
[11:10] <toresn> is=are
[11:10] <LuYu> is there a tool in linux that can override SD DRM, so i can use a disk where the DRM has locked down because of repartitioning?
[11:11] <ikonia> LuYu drm would not effect your home directory
[11:11] <toresn> (users connected to my system through a shh session)
[11:11] <ikonia> LuYu: unless you mean the hardware has drm locked in
[11:11] <popey> toresn: tail -f /home/$user/.bash_history :)
[11:11] <DIFH-iceroot> toresn: just type w to see what users are doing
[11:11] <LuYu> SD comes with hardware DRM
[11:11] <ikonia> LuYu: well - no they all don't
[11:11] <ikonia> LuYu: for example the one my laptop is just an SD memory stick
[11:11] <ikonia> LuYu things like sony's magic gate it
[11:12] <ikonia> is
[11:12] <LuYu> on many SD cards (sandisk and transflash have this problem specifically) they lock up and do not allow writing after partitioning
[11:12] <LuYu> oops
[11:12] <linuxius> InutitiveNipple: how can I then mount the device?
[11:12] <ikonia> LuYu I'm using a san disk SD card here
[11:12] <IntuitiveNipple> linuxius: You don't mount it, from what I can see, it 'seems' to present itself like a modem so I'm guessing it'll respond to commands, like modems do to the AT command set
[11:12] <LuYu> s/transflash/transcend
[11:12] <LuYu> have you partitioned it?
[11:13] <ikonia> LuYu yes
[11:13] <juliandevwgf> can someone recommend a good video converter
[11:13] <ikonia> juliandevwgf mencoder
[11:13] <LuYu> well, maybe those problems have been fixed in recent sandisk disks
[11:13] <popey> juliandevwgf: did you try ffmpeg/winff?
[11:14] <ikonia> LuYu or maybe not all SD disks have DRM locked onto them at a hardware level
[11:14] <LuYu> a few years ago, you couldnt even read one after partitioning
[11:14] <juliandevwgf> popey: yea but it wont convert to avi
[11:14] <IntuitiveNipple> toresn: Sorry, missed your question. The answer is, use a screen multiuser session
[11:14] <LuYu> hmmm
[11:14] <LuYu> i dont know
[11:14] <popey> juliandevwgf: works here, what problem do you get?
[11:14] <LuYu> all i know is that i have two systems
[11:14] <ikonia> LuYu either way, drm should not be broken for level reasons
[11:14] <LuYu> identical copies with identical permissions
[11:14] <LuYu> it cannot be a software problem
[11:14] <ikonia> legal
[11:14] <juliandevwgf> it tells me xvid is not a recognized format
[11:14] <LuYu> one works and one doesnt
[11:14] <szuper-t> hali
[11:14] <ikonia> LuYu: it can, but I'm not going to argue with you
[11:15] <popey> juliandevwgf: did you install ffmpeg from medibuntu?
[11:15] <LuYu> how can a dd copy result in a broken system?
[11:15] <popey> !medibuntu | juliandevwgf
[11:15] <LuYu> well, it certainly cannot be the file permission settings or the mounting
[11:15] <LuYu> as those things are identical even in the output
[11:16] <juliandevwgf> il check it out
[11:16] <linuxius> IntuitiveNipple: is there a link for these commands?
[11:17] <LuYu> well, it looks like my time limit has been exceeded
[11:17] <IntuitiveNipple> linuxius: I have no idea. You'll have to research that yourself. They are probably device-specific
[11:17] <LuYu> see you guys later

[11:19] <needhelp> How do I save a video from a website to my harddisc ?
[11:19] <ikonia> ushills do you have an ubuntu question
[11:19] <popey> needhelp: keepvid.com ?
[11:20] <ikonia> popey thats handy, thanks
[11:20] <IntuitiveNipple> m0u5e: sudo apt-get -s --purge remove '*-dev'
[11:20] <billybigrigger_> morning all
[11:20] <ushills> ikonia sorry, was trying to connect to nickserv
[11:20] <IntuitiveNipple> m0u5e: NOTE the -s (does a simulation) - remove that when you're happy the command doesn't do too much
[11:20] <needhelp> popey: can it save this video? I am even unable to see the video. For me it's just a black window with a text "(no video)"
[11:20] <popey> needhelp: dunno, url?
[11:21] <tono> orck
[11:21] <tono> help
[11:21] <m0u5e> IntuitiveNipple: i'm still getting the Regex compilation error - Invalid preceding regular expression
[11:21] <needhelp> popey: http://www.bt.no/webtv/?id=14093
[11:21] <tono> ned solution for the resolution screen
[11:21] <IntuitiveNipple> m0u5e: : hmm, let me check here
[11:21] <popey> needhelp: ugh, silverlight - give up
[11:21] <tono> can some one helpme
[11:21] <billybigrigger_> is anyone having problems viewing flash in hardy's firefox??? seems like every page im trying to view in the last couple of days just shows a grey box where the flash is supposed to be, youtube, break.com, and some other ones that are more important to me, ie trader.ca just wondering if there's a known work around for this? im pretty sure i have flashplugin-nonfree installed
[11:22] <needhelp> popey: what is sliverlight ?
[11:22] <IntuitiveNipple> m0u5e: hah! sudo apt-get -s --purge remove '.*-dev'   (missing .)
[11:22] <popey> needhelp: microsoft product - often used for streaming video - there is no linux version
[11:22] <popey> IntuitiveNipple: that's handy!
[11:22] <IntuitiveNipple> popey: Can be dangerous too, hence the -s even for experts :)
[11:23] <m0u5e> haha why does the . make a difference? xD
[11:23] <IntuitiveNipple> m0u5e: because it is a regular expression expected, not a shell glob
[11:23] <popey> :)
[11:23] <m0u5e> IntuitiveNipple: uh o, it removed some stuff i needed too... like blender 6__6
[11:23] <mzuverink> using file roller is there a way to make a password protected archive?
[11:23] <IntuitiveNipple> m0u5e: .* means zero-or-more of any character
[11:24] <needhelp> popey: check that link again. At the upper right corner, you can choose between Silverlight and Windows Media Player. Any chanced to save the video to my harddisc then ?
[11:24] <IntuitiveNipple> m0u5e: I *told* you to ensure it wouldn't do that before using it!!
[11:24] <demism> what app can I use to format a partition?
[11:24] <m0u5e> IntuitiveNipple: no no i mean in the simulation it removed stuff i needed lol
[11:24] <m0u5e> IntuitiveNipple: sorry if i didn't make that clear ;-)
[11:24] <popey> needhelp: yes, mplayer can do it
[11:24] <IntuitiveNipple> m0u5e: phew!! you gave me a heart-attack :D
[11:24] <usamahashimi> How can I create a .iso file from my ubuntu cd?
[11:25] <IntuitiveNipple> m0u5e: If it is only selecting -dev packages, do you need the blender -dev ?
[11:25] <popey> usamahashimi: mkisofs
[11:26] <m0u5e> IntuitiveNipple: it seems to remove the regular blender file
[11:26] <paul68> ikonia: concerning upgrade to version 8.10 I have a few questions left
[11:26] <popey> needhelp: one moment..
[11:26] <usamahashimi> popey, yes, i remember its name but I dont know the exact command, can you tell me?
[11:26] <ikonia> paul68 ok, you may want to consider joining #ubuntu+1
[11:26] <popey> usamahashimi: man mkisofs :)
[11:26] <needhelp> popey: k...
[11:27] <usamahashimi> popey, the hard way! :)
[11:27] <paul68> ikonia:  what is the difference between this chat and ubuntu+1?
[11:27] <popey> usamahashimi: well the alternative is for _me_ to read the man page
[11:27] <popey> paul68: ubuntu+1 is for the next release
[11:27] <m0u5e> IntuitiveNipple: it removes cdbs, intltool, automake, blender, build-essential, g__-4.2, quilt, po-debconf, intltool-debian, gettext, gnucash, envy O_O;
[11:28] <notrly_owl> What kernel does hardy come with?
[11:28] <paul68> popey: I understand
[11:28] <popey> paul68: not out yet, due end of the month, once it comes out, support can be found here for that release, then we start the next release in +1 again
[11:28] <usamahashimi> popey, man mkisofs says that no manual
[11:28] <ikonia> paul68 ubuntu+1 is for 8.10 discussion
[11:28] <popey> usamahashimi: install it? sudo apt-get install mkisofs
[11:28] <error404notfoun1> i started ubuntu-server install on a machine, it asked me for the http proxy at the end of install, i don't remember proxy, so i just clicked continue, and now its scanning mirrors at 28% for the last half an hour
[11:28] <m0u5e> IntuitiveNipple: i guess a few dev files are required... is there a way i can reassign priorities? to get rid of as many as possible, without upsetting deps?
[11:28] <niche> how would I go about identifying ordinary files, directory, and link files in /usr/bin using ls, grep, and wc commands?
[11:28] <usamahashimi> popey, it is installed
[11:28] <ikonia> error404notfoun1 do you need a proxy to get to the interenet
[11:29] <needhelp> popey: are you able to see the video when you select "Windows Media Player" on that site ?
[11:29] <popey> usamahashimi: ah, use mkisofs --help
[11:29] <popey> needhelp: yeah, hang on
[11:29] <paul68> popey: I see however my question is concerning a back up of by stuff and eventually find a way to install firefox with all my extentions without having to search for them again
[11:29] <ikonia> paul68 you can only backup your home dir - but this contains your firefox info
[11:29] <usamahashimi> popey, yes, lemme check thanks :)
[11:30] <Lycus> I'm trying to help my mom rid herself of AOL (she currently runs Ubuntu, and XP inside VMWare to use AOL, largely because of her favorites and address book on AOL) - anyone know of scripts for converting those to evolution?
[11:30] <niche> how would I go about identifying ordinary files, directory, and link files in /usr/bin using ls, grep, and wc commands?
[11:30] <paul68> ikonia: so when I install from scratch I don't have another way then reinstall all my applications
[11:30] <IntuitiveNipple> m0u5e: Use this to generate the list, then edit the file in a text-editor until it only contains the packages you want removing: dpkg-query -l '*-dev' | awk '$1 ~ /^ii/ { print $2 > "dev-packages.txt"}'
[11:30] <ikonia> paul68 correct
[11:31] <popey> needhelp: http://jwz.livejournal.com/536142.html?thread=9476430 take a look at that
[11:31] <SOG> have anyone tried those morse software for Debian and use them on Xubuntu?
[11:32] <paul68> is there a way to do this in a semi automatic way for example create a bash file with all the installation instructions for the several programs?
[11:32] <ikonia> SOG don't mix debian repos with ubuntu
[11:32] <ikonia> paul68 if it's a firefox extension it will be in your home dir and ok
[11:32] <popey> ikonia: not necessarily
[11:32] <ikonia> popey mostly
[11:32] <SOG> ikonia but isn't ubuntu based on Debian ?
[11:32] <popey> ikonia: no, not true
[11:32] <ikonia> SOG but ubuntu is not debian
[11:32] <ikonia> popey: expand on that
[11:32] <popey> ikonia: if you install extensions using the apt-get thing, they wont be
[11:32] <mzuverink> could someone point out a good how to to make password protected archives with file roller
[11:33] <ikonia> popey ahh that is vERY true
[11:33] <SOG> um... but I don't see much morse or radio software for ubuntu...
[11:33] <ikonia> SOG so it's not packaged for ubuntu yet
[11:33] <paul68> ikonia and popey is there a way to create a bash script that can install every application that I want to be installed ?
[11:33] <IntuitiveNipple> m0u5e: Then use this command (without the -s) to remove the packages:  sudo apt-get -s --purge remove $(cat dev-packages.txt | while read pkg; do echo -n "$pkg "; done)
[11:33] <ikonia> paul68 it's probably easier to just walk through synaptic and click what you want
[11:34] <paul68> if so how to do this?
[11:34] <popey> paul68: yes, using dpkg --get-selections and dpkg --set-selections
[11:34] <m0u5e> IntuitiveNipple: alright trying thx :)
[11:34] <SOG> ikonia will that be hard to uninstall if I got one of those debian package installed? because I saw "debian package search" for download in the update manager
[11:34] <ikonia> popey won't taht fail due to different versions/package naming in 8.10 ?
[11:34] <popey> its a good start
[11:34] <ikonia> SOG try uninstalling it, see what it does
[11:35] <ikonia> popey yes, a fine starting point
[11:35] <popey> paul68: http://onlyubuntu.blogspot.com/2008/06/howto-backup-all-installed.html
[11:35] <m0u5e> IntuitiveNipple: yeah there are some weird deps going on
[11:35] <needhelp> popey: I have installed mplayer. But from that site you pasted: step 3: No such file or directory. Step 4: command not found.
[11:35] <m0u5e> IntuitiveNipple: i can't remove some of the devs without other files getting removed
[11:35] <ikonia> m0u5e: thigns depends on other things
[11:35] <IntuitiveNipple> m0u5e: instead of using apt-get remove, you could use dpkg -r
[11:35] <popey> needhelp: it's for osx (the mac OS) so needs some changes for linux - it's a general guide
[11:36] <m0u5e> IntuitiveNipple: would that not cause it to remove non devs?
[11:36] <m0u5e> IntuitiveNipple: err would that allow it *not to remove non devs?
[11:36] <IntuitiveNipple> m0u5e: For what you are trying to do, I'd suggest using synaptic and filter on Installed -dev packages might be easier for you to check packages and dependencies
[11:37] <needhelp> popey: how to get mplayer_noaltivec?
[11:37] <IntuitiveNipple> m0u5e: dpkg will only usually operate on the package(s) it is told to work with
[11:37] <popey> needhelp: you dont, just use the "mplayer" command
[11:37] <SOG> ikonia so it's not safe to install debian packages on ubuntu ?
[11:38] <ikonia> SOG no
[11:38] <c4r1o> hello everybody, i'm new to ubuntu, how can i install a package that i download and now is on my desktop?
[11:38] <paul68> popey: if I understand this procedure correctly I need to go to for example my folder backup  and run the command sudo dpkg -i *.deb is this correct?
[11:38] <ikonia> c4r1o which package is it
[11:38] <wces> What are the risks involved in upgrading to 8.10 from 8.4 today?
[11:38] <ikonia> c4r1o: was it not in the ubuntu repos ?
[11:38] <c4r1o> theme package
[11:38] <ikonia> wces it won't work
[11:38] <c4r1o> sry
[11:38] <c4r1o> is the cairo-dock one
[11:38] <c4r1o> for the bar
[11:38] <ikonia> c4r1o what format is it (tar.gz?)
[11:38] <popey> paul68: it is a general guide, i would do more research - not necessarily following that guide verbatim
[11:38] <wces> ikonia: Can you please elaborate?
[11:38] <c4r1o> it's a tar.bz2
[11:39] <ikonia> wces it could not work/break and you'd have to re-install
[11:39] <d_dyer> How do i get SWAP?
[11:39] <popey> wces: applications might break, you might lose data, your cat might burn your house down etc
[11:39] <d_dyer> !swap
[11:39] <d_dyer> NVM
[11:39] <ikonia> c4r1o: you need to untar it and read the README or INSTALL file in the package
[11:39] <paul68> popey ok
[11:39] <c4r1o> ok i'll do it now th
[11:39] <wces> ikonia:thanks for scaring me!
[11:39] <c4r1o> thx
[11:39] <m0u5e> IntuitiveNipple: is there something the opposite of apt-get build-dep? like apt-get remove-dep? lol
[11:39] <ikonia> wces it's the truth
[11:39] <wces> popey: thank to you too
[11:40] <needhelp> popey: like mplayer -dumpstream? "Unknown option on the command line: --dumpstream"
[11:40] <ikonia> needhelp I'm using dumpstream with maplayer
[11:40] <ikonia> needhelp: what version of mplayer are you using ?
[11:40] <popey> needhelp: one minus sign, -dumpstream does work it is valid
[11:41] <RoRza> I am having problem installing a ruby gem on ubuntu

[11:41] <RoRza> anyone knows why ?
[11:42] <ikonia> contarc why are you showing me that
[11:42] <popey> needhelp: you'd need to view the source, look for an asx file or similar
[11:42] <m0u5e> IntuitiveNipple: ah, well i figured out some of the devs ... build-essential requires a single dev ... which leads to dep hell
[11:42] <IntuitiveNipple> m0u5e: Like I said, create a filter in Synaptic. I just created one, it took 30 seconds. Settings > Filters > New "Installed -dev", Status tab, tick only "Installed", Properties tab, New entry = "Package Name includes -dev"
[11:42] <contarc> ikonia: apologies.  it's what i was asking about before.   unable to create `./usr/sbin/sshd': Permission denied
[11:42] <needhelp> popey: no .asx files
[11:42] <ikonia> contarc I don't remember the actual question for earlier, sorry
[11:42] <IntuitiveNipple> m0u5e: Then select "Installed -dev" in the Custom Filters list
[11:43] <ikonia> contarc: ooh wait I do
[11:43] <popey> needhelp: did you switch to media player and not silverlight

[11:44] <ikonia> removing
[11:44] <needhelp> popey: still no .asx. But I found a couple of lines with .swf. One of them being: var so = new SWFObject("/template/ver1-0/flash/webtv/scroller.swf", "sotester", "1175", "110", "8", "#FFFFFF");
[11:44] <RoRza> anyone know I get this message when I load try to "rubygem"
[11:44] <contarc> the first one was a mistake
[11:44] <IntuitiveNipple> ikonia: In that error report contarc gave, there is a leading *dot* in the path reported !
[11:44] <popey> needhelp: if this doesnt work then there are firefox extensions which can do similar
[11:44] <contarc> the "=" should not be there
[11:45] <ikonia> IntuitiveNipple good eyes !
[11:45] <IntuitiveNipple> ikonia: ./usr/sbin/sshd
[11:45] <ikonia> IntuitiveNipple: stunning eyes
[11:45] <IntuitiveNipple> ikonia: I've learned, when its a paste, every dot counts :)
[11:45] <ikonia> IntuitiveNipple I simpley didn't notice, it, but the question is....why
[11:46] <IntuitiveNipple> ikonia: not sure how he gets to that point, wasn't following... I just join the dots :)
[11:46] <c4r1o> ikonia isn't there a way to install the cario-dock package from synaptics
[11:46] <ikonia> c4r1o don't konw, don't use it
[11:46] <contarc> this is feisty server
[11:47] <c4r1o> couse using the terminal is really hard to me :-(
[11:47] <IntuitiveNipple> ikonia: I know what the error is
[11:47] <niche> Hey guys, what commands do I need to type to find out how many ordinary files, directories, and link files that exist in my /usr/bin directory???
[11:47] <edmoore> hi - I have just set up my headless box to my nat router. My laptop also connectors works fine. I can sssh from laptop to box, and I can ping from laptop to box. I can ping from box to laptop. I can't apt-get however, and i can't ping www.google.com from the box. any ideas?
[11:47] <ikonia> IntuitiveNipple do tell
[11:47] <IntuitiveNipple> ikonia: It depends on where the package came from though - that path is from the source package's debian/sshd.install
[11:47] <RoRza> anyone know why I get tgis error message when I try to install a gem from the Terminal ?
[11:48] <RoRza>     Permission denied - /var/lib/gems/1.8/cache/hpricot-0.6.161.gem
[11:48] <ikonia> IntuitiveNipple but it's in the ubuntu repo
[11:48] <ikonia> IntuitiveNipple: looking at his paste
[11:48] <ushills> edmoore. have you set a dns server under resolv.conf
[11:48] <m0u5e> IntuitiveNipple: okay, i've gone ahead and created the filter and I'm looking through these, but theres just a crapload of deps
[11:48] <wces> By the way doesn't IntuitiveNipple violate some policy realted to usernames?
[11:48] <contarc> ikonia: got it.  thanks for your help all.
[11:48] <ikonia> contarc could you explain the solution
[11:48] <ikonia> contarc: I didn't quite pickup full on IntuitiveNipple's comment
[11:49] <contarc> Does not make much sense as to why, but an apt-get clean fixed it.
[11:49] <IntuitiveNipple> ikonia: Feisty updates, according to packages.ubuntu.com - grabbing the source now
[11:49] <ikonia> contarc I'll have a little research
[11:49] <IntuitiveNipple> ikonia: http://packages.ubuntu.com/feisty-updates/openssh-server
[11:49] <ikonia> IntuitiveNipple most interesting, doing teh same
[11:50] <m0u5e> IntuitiveNipple: thx, but I think I won't be able to remove any of the deps... theres too many dependancies ... do you know if there is a way to assign aptitude to resolve the packages as smoothly as possible, potentially uninstalling only packages that have no deps that are devs?
[11:50] <contarc> http://pastebin.com/d76dae342
[11:50] <contarc> maybe that might help on the research
[11:51] <natalisushka> Hi, I want to by a laptop that is compatible with ubuntu, and ofcourse I've checked the list provided by ubuntu. I want to go for Dell Vestro 1310. The problem that there are also differences between some of the generations of vestro 1310 like in the VGA chippest. Please advice, what would you go for: An integrated Intell VGA, or NVidia external VGA?

[11:52] <error404notfoun1> i install ubuntu-server inside a vm in vbox, and i get: http://pastebin.com/m423966bc
[11:52] <natalisushka> ikonia, does it matter if it's external or internal?
[11:53] <IntuitiveNipple> ikonia: Ahhh, false lead! I hadn't realised that error report came from dpkg
[11:53] <m0u5e> IntuitiveNipple: okay thanks (i might look into it if I have that much free time... but as of now, its not worth the space I'd save :(  ) thanks though
[11:53] <ikonia> error404notfoun1 what are you trying to do
[11:53] <ikonia> natalisushka external or internal what ?
[11:53] <natalisushka> ikonia, I mean, does it matter if the VGA is integrated with the MB or not?
[11:53] <ikonia> natalisushka how do you expect to use a non-intergrated card on a laptop ?

[11:56] <IntuitiveNipple> ikonia: contarc: *but* the permissions issue is for *the unpack directory, which if I recall correctly, isn't /usr/sbin (it's one in /var/lib/dpkg/ or /tmp/)
[11:56] <ikonia> error404notfoun1: this is an ubuntu 8.04 server install ?
[11:56] <ikonia> IntuitiveNipple correct
[11:56] <IntuitiveNipple> m0u5e: Ouch :)
[11:57] <ikonia> IntuitiveNipple: just got there myself, about 30 seconds before you posted
[11:57] <error404notfoun1> ikonia: yes
[11:57] <IntuitiveNipple> ikonia: I was trying to reproduce it
[11:57] <m0u5e> IntuitiveNipple: yeah... i have dual boot vista & ubuntu on this top... can't remove vista until i'm sure this laptop doesn't have any more weird hd problems (cause dell will just get pissy) ... so i only gave ubuntu 10 gigs :(
[11:57] <ChristofferB> I have just installed the Gnome Global Menu applet, but it's only some apps that it `works´ with... Anybody have a clue to why?
[11:58] <m0u5e> IntuitiveNipple: hdware*
[11:58] <ikonia> error404notfoun1 what virtualisation are you using
[11:58] <contarc> IntuitiveNipple: ikonia: right.  it's for the package on n /var/lib/dpkg/ but that's not what the rror says.
[11:58] <IntuitiveNipple> m0u5e: I shrank Vista's partition down to about 24GB
[11:58] <error404notfoun1> ikonia: i am using virtual box...
[11:58] <ikonia> error404notfoun1 its a known issue with virtualbox
[11:59] <ikonia> error404notfoun1 tons of bugs on launchpad about it
[11:59] <IntuitiveNipple> contarc: yes it does. The error message you see is from when the data.tar.gz (that is in the .deb) is unpacked, and all the paths in the archive start ./
[11:59] <error404notfoun1> ikonia: so what should i do instead of vmware if i am migrating to oss?
[11:59] <noob-africa> greetings anyone
[11:59] <ikonia> error404notfoun1 kvm  ?
[11:59] <IntuitiveNipple> contarc: The effect is, the package can be unpacked anywhere since the path will be relative to the current directory
[12:00] <m0u5e> IntuitiveNipple: I have other programs on vista that I sometimes use... like games :x and they take up lots of space
[12:00] <noob-africa> i have an old age problem, a usb device suffered an unclean shotdown... i cant seem to sudo mount ntfs-3t -3 .... yada yada yada .... can anyone help me?
[12:00] <noob-africa> ikonia: am glad to see you here
[12:00] <ikonia> noob-africa huh ?
[12:01] <ikonia> noob-africa if your ntfs file ssytem is corrupt you need to boot into windows and chkdisk it
[12:01] <stack_smasher> I clicked on network manager and disabled wireless networking, now how do I enable it back?
[12:01] <IntuitiveNipple> contarc: Try monitoring it; find out what the real path is it fails on by inspecting the log-file from this: "strace -o apt-get.log apt-get install openssh-server"
[12:01] <noob-africa> ikonia: can you help me do a force mount? it is an external USB portable disk, that was removed from a windows system without being fully unmounted
[12:01] <noob-africa> ikonia: it suffered an unclean removal.
[12:01] <IntuitiveNipple> stack_smasher: same thing again; it toggles the setting
[12:02] <IntuitiveNipple> m0u5e: games? what are games? :p
[12:02] <ikonia> noob-africa you need to boot into windows and chkdisk it
[12:02] <Nic1> hello, ﻿when my mouse pointer reaches the far side of the screen, the cube effect starts and switches to other virtual desktop how can I change that "automation"?
[12:02] <new2ubuntu> netgear wg311v3 on ubuntu 8.04?
[12:02] <stack_smasher> IntuitiveNipple, the problem is now I don't see any wireless options..and btw, I have a LAN cable plugged in my ethernet port too
[12:02] <noob-africa> ikonia: so they should chkdisk it on a windows machine to fix the problem? lol
[12:02] <m0u5e> IntuitiveNipple: you know, the things that look pretty that you can interact with... on your computer lol
[12:02] <ikonia> noob-africa yes

[12:03] <noob-africa> ikonia: ok, thanks... let me advise my colleague here, who owns the drive... u r advising against force mount or chkdisk?

[12:06] <H|V_3ala2> but 8.04 works
[12:06] <Nic1> install 8;04 and upgrade it to 8.10
[12:07] <Nic1> I think 8.10 is still "beta"
[12:07] <H|V_3ala2> then I need to download the 8.04 iso
[12:07] <H|V_3ala2> i have deleted it
[12:07] <noob-africa> Nic1: is the 8.10 upgrade any better than 8.04?
[12:07] <Nic1> yeah, fast servers out there =)

[12:08] <c4r1o> guys, .deb packages are autoinstallers right?

[12:08] <_ln> anyway, what is the .deb file for extra terminal fonts, i can't code with these.
[12:08] <IntuitiveNipple> noob-africa: :)
[12:08] <H|V_3ala2> it's wonderfull
[12:09] <noob-africa> IntuitiveNipple: what's with the "nipple"?
[12:09] <noob-africa> lol
[12:09] <c4r1o> .deb packages are autoinstallers?
[12:09] <H|V_3ala2> yes c4r1o
[12:09] <c4r1o> thx
[12:09] <H|V_3ala2> uw
[12:09] <md22> H|V_3ala2: i found myself coming up with a kinda excuses to use it again. non valid so far
[12:09] <c4r1o> is there any risk using them?
[12:09] <IntuitiveNipple> noob-africa: It's intuitive
[12:09] <H|V_3ala2> no
[12:09] <H|V_3ala2> it's easier
[12:09] <c4r1o> ok thx again
[12:10] <_ln> c4r1o: well, maybe if you acquired it from a source that wasn't "trusted" ;]
[12:10] <c4r1o> ok, it's not this case, thx a lot
[12:10] <H|V_3ala2> I wish all programs to be like that
[12:10] <c4r1o> couse using the terminal is really hard to me , ex windows user :-(
[12:10] <noob-africa> Workaround: If your Compaq HP nx6110 laptop suffers from the "hard disk controller failure" error, you can TRICK the data-bus into force-reading the hard drive channel by opening the CD tray during boot sequence, waiting about 5 seconds, closing it.
[12:10] <IntuitiveNipple> noob-africa: _ln is over in Nigeria... look-out for a 419 :p

[12:12] <H|V_3ala2> with 8kwatt

[12:19] <H|V_3ala2> hmmmm
[12:20] <contarc> IntuitiveNipple: seems like the package got corrupted.  clearing the package cache forced a successful download which installed the necesary packages.
[12:20] <H|V_3ala2> 3hourz and 40 minuts to download the live cd
[12:20] <H|V_3ala2> hmmmmm
[12:21] <md22> one question do you guys think that silverlight will be made for other operation systems
[12:21] <craigbass1976> Is there some art to mounting samba shares these days?  I used to mount -t smbfs //ip.add.ress./sharename /mountpoint   I knew that it changed to cifs in Fedora, but not in Ubuntu initially, then I stopped running into windows boxes and didn't have to worry about it.
[12:21] <ikonia> md22 don't know, and thats nothing to do with ubuntu
[12:21] <H|V_3ala2> no md22
[12:21] <IntuitiveNipple> contarc: Thanks... I did wonder about that but thought if it got that far it ought to be okay
[12:21] <ikonia> craigbass1976 your command looks fine
[12:21] <hon``> file permissions on a usb-flash drive are not really a security measure. Can I get rid of them, while keeping the case-sensitivity of the file-system?
[12:21] <H|V_3ala2> silverlight is for microsoft internet exp
[12:22] <bEe_> Is it possible to autostart wifi connection?
[12:22] <md22> ikonia:sorry . let me take it into offtopic :)

[12:22] <c4r1o> guys during the installation of cairo-dock in the very final part it tells me "Unable to connect with SVN server"....how can i fix it?

[12:23] <bEe_> ushills, my is asking password and encryption type :(
[12:23] <md22> where can i get docs and articles on the linux kernel ?
[12:23] <bEe_> ushills, i need just to connect to wireless network
[12:23] <ikonia> craigbass1976 make sure you have smbfs package and smb_client package installed
[12:23] <noob-africa> that was stupid of me... <KICK KICK KICK>
[12:23] <ikonia> md22 again - offtopic
[12:23] <noob-africa> it's supposed to be added somewhere, NOT a command!
[12:23] <H|V_3ala2> cairo-dock?
[12:24] <H|V_3ala2> what it does?
[12:24] <c4r1o> yes

[12:24] <md22> aww ok.
[12:24] <c4r1o> yeah
[12:24] <IntuitiveNipple> noob-africa: "deb" isn't a command... you should add those lines into the file /etc/apt/sources.list as the article says, or better yet, create a new file just for them, in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/network-manager.list

[12:32] <billybigrigger_> almost all the sites i go to have flash and they all show grey boxes were flash should be...any help?
[12:32] <H|V_3ala2> hmmmmmmm
[12:32] <H|V_3ala2> tried to find an update to the plugin?
[12:33] <noob-africa> IndyGunFreak: why?
[12:33] <billybigrigger_> almost all the sites i go to have flash and they all show grey boxes were flash should be...any help?
[12:33] <billybigrigger_> whooops
[12:33] <billybigrigger_> sorry
[12:33] <billybigrigger_> H|V_3ala2: ya my system is up to date
[12:33] <H|V_3ala2> is it opera?
[12:33] <ushills> billybigrigger. you will need to install the flash non-free plugin
[12:34] <H|V_3ala2> or firefox?
[12:34] <billybigrigger_> i have flashplugin-nonfree on firefox 3.0
[12:34] <noob-africa> billybigrigger - have u installed the flash player?
[12:34] <jjulian> does somebody know if a alsa manual install will help if my soundcard doesnt get recognized right by lspci (update-pciids i already did). and i have no sound at the moment.
[12:34] <jjulian> its a ALC888s chip
[12:34] <jjulian> realtek HD sound
[12:34] <ushills> Strange, that worked for me
[12:35] <billybigrigger_> im pretty sure i have flash player
[12:35] <noob-africa> billybigrigger_: i would suggest the following (i) sudo apt-get update and (ii) sudo apt-get upgrade
[12:35] <noob-africa> billybigrigger_:  any missing dependencies will be updated and upgraded...
[12:36] <ushills> billybigrigger. search in synaptic manager for flash and check that it is install, I think there is also a reference to firefox in one of the packages
[12:36] <billybigrigger_> my system is up to date
[12:36] <Moae> hi all
[12:36] <billybigrigger_> pretty sure i said that already
[12:36] <Jeruvy> billybigrigger_: sounds like a problem with your browser, if flash isn't available, most 'flash content' detects this and directs you to installing it.  So look at why your browser is not rendering flash content, perhaps your blocking scripts
[12:36] <Moae> i have a problem that i can solve :)
[12:36] <IntuitiveNipple> Mechdave: Use netfilters marks and actions, i.e. http://lartc.org/howto/lartc.adv-filter.policing.html#AEN1393
[12:36] <Moae> i have deleted  /var/cache/debconf there is a way to restore it?
[12:37] <H|V_3ala2> hi MOae
[12:37] <noob-africa> Moae: you wrote "can", that's not a problem... it's a solution... LOL
[12:38] <Moae> sorry i want to say can't solve :LD
[12:38] <H|V_3ala2> conf??...if it's a text confguration u can write it back
[12:38] <H|V_3ala2> to the same path
[12:38] <Mechdave> IntuitiveNipple, thanks
[12:39] <Moae> the problem is that without the config.dat in the debconf directory APT doesn't work
[12:39] <H|V_3ala2> look for the file on the internet
[12:39] <noob-africa> HjV_3ala2: that depends on whether a hard copy back up was made, before the conf file was deleted
[12:40] <H|V_3ala2> hmmmmm
[12:40] <H|V_3ala2> noob,,,,,can it just be paste back?
[12:41] <H|V_3ala2> what it does anyway?
[12:41] <Moae> i restored the apt cache but i don't know if it's possible restore the deconf cache
[12:41] <noob-africa> HjV_3ala2: a LOT
[12:42] <H|V_3ala2> hmmm
[12:42] <H|V_3ala2> bad
[12:43] <clandes> hello, i think i crashed my hardy heron installation

[12:46] <H|V_3ala2> why it crashed
[12:46] <clandes> yes
[12:46] <AdvoWork> is there a way to use a cronjob to auto ftp a file with a certain extension?
[12:46] <H|V_3ala2> hmmmmmm
[12:46] <H|V_3ala2> a virus?
[12:46] <H|V_3ala2> aliens?

[12:47] <Moae> anyone can help me for my deconf cache problem?
[12:47] <jjulian> can somebody help me getting my soundcard to work?
[12:47] <H|V_3ala2> ANYWAYS MOZILLA is just a browser
[12:47] <carrera> Greetings!

[12:47] <clandes> i tried to update through my terminal, wont complete
[12:47] <H|V_3ala2> tried f8 options?
[12:48] <clandes> yes
[12:48] <carrera> ubuntu 8 doesn't see my RAID-0 on a ASUS-P5E
[12:48] <H|V_3ala2> shyt
[12:48] <carrera> it shows 3 drives instead of one
[12:48] <carrera> any ideas as to why?
[12:48] <clandes> i just haven got a clue about whatś wrong
[12:48] <H|V_3ala2> hmmmmm
[12:49] <clandes> is there a way to go back like one week, set back teh configs
[12:49] <H|V_3ala2> that's what makes duel booting ness
[12:49] <clandes> hm?

[12:51] <H|V_3ala2> but u'll miss it
[12:51] <clandes> but is there a way to set back the configs?
[12:51] <H|V_3ala2> yea

[12:52] <H|V_3ala2> can u log on text mod?
[12:52] <jjulian> i need help with my soundcard pls
[12:52] <swapna> how do i modify glibc?
[12:52] <Dr_willis_> swapna,  tell the channel - why do you need to?
[12:52] <ikonia> swapna you don't
[12:52] <amanulla> swapna:what is glibc?
[12:53] <swapna> i want to add my own wrapper routine in glibc
[12:53] <ikonia> amanulla core c library of a linux system
[12:53] <amanulla> !glibc
[12:53] <ikonia> swapna then you should know how to modify it
[12:53] <ikonia> swapna: making ANY changes to glibc could be fatal to yous system
[12:53] <amanulla> ikonia:ok
[12:53] <ikonia> swapna: you should only really change if it you are %150 certain you know what your doing
[12:53] <H|V_3ala2> ikonia,,,,see clandes
[12:53] <amanulla> i want to run a simple c program how can i?
[12:53] <swapna> actually i m a student
[12:53] <ikonia> H|V_3ala2: pardon ?
[12:54] <swapna> we r doing a project
[12:54] <ikonia> amanulla build it, run iot
[12:54] <ikonia> it
[12:54] <H|V_3ala2> I mean if u can help him
[12:54] <swapna> for which we need to add our own routine to glibc
[12:54] <IntuitiveNipple> carrera: ICH9R uses software aka 'fake' RAID. I think it requires the dmraid kernel module to read the metadata (like the Promise Fastrak series)
[12:55] <H|V_3ala2> quit
[12:55] <amanulla> swapna:how do you run c programs?
[12:55] <amanulla> do u use nay editor?
[12:55] <amanulla> any editor
[12:55] <amanulla> ikonia:if i write a program in text editor can i run it on terminal?
[12:55] <FloodBot2> amanulla: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[12:55] <ikonia> amanulla: if you compile it
[12:55] <swapna> amanulla: type gcc <name of prog>
[12:55] <swapna> amanulla: then type ./a.out
[12:55] <Dr_willis_> amanulla,  thats how one normally writes programs.. :) depends on the language you are using...
[12:55] <ikonia> amanulla: theer are guides on http://tldp.org on how to build software
[12:55] <carrera> IntuitiveNipple, thanks
[12:56] <carrera> then how should I set up my 3 x 500 GB drives with RAID-0?
[12:56] <esay> how can I write things in /usr/share/stardict/dic  carrera?
[12:56] <esay> root?
[12:56] <IntuitiveNipple> swapna: You'd install the glibc source, add what you need to it, adjust the makefile as needed, and rebuild it so it can be installed.
[12:56] <swapna> please someone tell me about glibc
[12:56] <ikonia> carrera I don't think thats wise
[12:56] <ikonia> swapna: what do you want to know
[12:57] <carrera> ikonia, why?
[12:57] <Dr_willis_> esay,  with use of the sudo command to do things as root...
[12:57] <esay> how can ı do root?
[12:57] <Myrtti> !root | esay
[12:57] <swapna> IntuitiveNipple: do you have any idea about how to modify makefile of glibc
[12:57] <IntuitiveNipple> carrera: If there isn't data on them already, ignore the motherboard 'RAID' and use linux md (mdsdm) to do it
[12:57] <ikonia> carrera well your root partition on a raid0 partition is asking for a dead system, plus your probably going to wantt to use fake raid which is a terrible technology
[12:57] <ikonia> swapna if you have to ask that - you shouldn't be doing it
[12:57] <ikonia> swapna: speak to your professor/teacher that your doing the project for
[12:58] <IntuitiveNipple> swapna: That's what being a student is all about - learning how to learn, and learning how to research, and learning how to do :)
[12:58] <ikonia> swapna: be aware that ANY changes to glibc could render the whole system useless
[12:58] <clandes> thyus
[12:58] <swapna> thats ok with me
[12:58] <ikonia> swapna: good luck then
[12:58] <obi_de> !ext4 | obi_de
[12:59] <akiluu> Can anyone shed some light on this Xserver business... I've been trying to run the nvidia driver installation on init 1 (root) but it tells me it can't open it :/ any ideas?
[12:59] <ktne> hello
[12:59] <obi_de> :(
[12:59] <ktne> i've just installed ubuntu
[12:59] <carrera> IntuitiveNipple, I'm building a brand new server
[12:59] <ktne> how do i install nvidia drivers 177.80?
[12:59] <H|V_3ala2> nice ktne
[12:59] <ikonia> akiluu: what is the exact error
[12:59] <ikonia> akiluu: is there a reason your not using the nvidia drivers pckaged with ubuntu
[12:59] <swapna> IntuitiveNipple: please cd u tell any link where i can get the info about modifying writing the makefile of glibc
[12:59] <noob-africa> Silly Question: Apart from impressing girls, what else is Compiz good for?
[13:00] <ikonia> swapna: come on - this is nothign to do with ubuntu now, do a google for the glibc source
[13:00] <ikonia> swapna: be aware of how much stuff links to it
[13:00] <IntuitiveNipple> swpna: you'd configure and install your glib version using --prefix=/usr/local  and possibly use LD_LIBRARY_PATH for apps that need to use it.
[13:00] <H|V_3ala2> lol
[13:00] <akiluu> ikonia not really just wanted new ones + it seemed like the ones pcked with ubuntu didn't work properly
[13:00] <reehan> hello room
[13:00] <ikonia> akiluu: in what way
[13:00] <ktne> anyone knows how to install nvidia drivers?
[13:00] <ikonia> akiluu: using new ones can make your system display not work out all
[13:01] <ikonia> ktne: open restricted drivers manager and check the nvidia check box
[13:01] <ktne> ikonia it failed
[13:01] <swapna> IntuitiveNipple: thank you
[13:01] <noob-africa> ktne: sudo apt-get install EnvyNG
[13:01] <ikonia> ktne: in what way
[13:01] <IntuitiveNipple> swapna: You can get the package using "apt-get source libc6"
[13:01] <ktne> and i want the latest drivers 177.80
[13:01] <carrera> ikonia, why is fakeRAID terrible?
[13:01] <AdvoWork> can a bash script auto ftp a file? or similar
[13:01] <swapna> IntuitiveNipple: i have downloaded the source
[13:01] <ikonia> carrera: terrible technology with bad support in general, even worse in linux
[13:01] <swapna> :)
[13:02] <IntuitiveNipple> swapna: Also, see the GNU info http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/
[13:02] <carrera> hmm...
[13:02] <ktne> ikonia:  i'm not sure, it just displayed a popup message in the hardware wizard
[13:02] <swapna> IntuitiveNipple: yeah i will
[13:03] <Dr_willis_> AdvoWork,  wget can download a file.. and you can call wget from a script....
[13:03] <juliandevwgf> i need a video converter that will convert to .wmv
[13:03] <IntuitiveNipple> carrera: I wrote an article on installing RAID + encryption; it might give you some pointers on using md: http://tjworld.net/wiki/Linux/Ubuntu/HardyRAID5EncryptedLVM
[13:03] <newbie> how can i access another laptop on wireless in ubuntu?
[13:04] <newbie> how can i access another laptop on wireless in ubuntu?
[13:04] <juliandevwgf> anyone know of a video converter
[13:04] <Dr_willis_> !find avid
[13:04] <amanulla> newbie:im too interested we can do the same?
[13:04] <amanulla> can we try?
[13:05] <amanulla> newbie:i too dont know lets ask the channel
[13:05] <Dr_willis_> avidemux - a free video editor - gtk version
[13:05] <juliandevwgf> thanks
[13:05] <newbie> amanulla: ya even i think so
[13:05] <carrera> IntuitiveNipple, great, thanks
[13:05] <Dr_willis_> amazing what ya find when ya use the search feature of the package manager.
[13:05] <Dr_willis_> :)
[13:05] <newbie> IntuitiveNipple: how can i access another laptop on wireless in ubuntu?
[13:05] <carrera> I'm totally confused with what is fakeRAID, softwareRAID and hardware RAID now
[13:06] <carrera> is this any good https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto
[13:07] <newbie> IntuitiveNipple: how can i access another laptop on wireless in ubuntu?
[13:07] <newbie> how can i access another laptop on wireless in ubuntu?
[13:07] <amanulla> can any one tell us  how can we access another laptop on wireless in ubuntu
[13:07] <Dr_willis_> newbie,  assuming wireless is working.. you can set them both to the same ssid/ip range  I think and see if they can ping eachother..
[13:07] <IntuitiveNipple> carrera: 'fakeraid' is used to describe RAID that, at boot-time, uses special BIOS functions related to the controller, and once an OS is loaded, uses a special driver.
[13:08] <Dr_willis_> You may want to isntall a dhcp server on one of the wirless machines.
[13:08] <russarleo> hi
[13:08] <noob-africa> amanulla: it depends on your network settings... is the other laptop part of the peer to peer network?
[13:08] <newbie> yes noob-africa
[13:08] <amanulla> Dr_willis_:any commands to install dhpc?
[13:08] <Dr_willis_> amanulla,  look in the package manager for the dhcpd server
[13:08] <noob-africa> amanulla: if it is configured on the LAN, well, then it is possible to access... by setting up shared folders
[13:08] <carrera> IntuitiveNipple, what are softwareRAID and hardwareRAID pls?
[13:09] <amanulla> noob-africa:i dont know im now in india
[13:09] <baldur_> hey one question is it a commom proplem that firefox crashes when under alot of pressure from time to time ???
[13:09] <amanulla> newbie:where r u from?
[13:09] <Dr_willis_> setting up the 'shares' would be done after you get the box's just pinging each other.. :)
[13:09] <newbie> india amanulla
[13:09] <noob-africa> amanulla: is the other laptop in the same building? are you connecting to the same gateway?
[13:09] <swapna> IntuitiveNipple: how can i access another machine on wireless network?
[13:10] <ljsoftnet> is there a ubuntu alternative to deep freeze software?
[13:10] <russarleo> 没有中文的么
[13:10] <juliandevwgf> is there another one besides avidemux. its not giving me a wmv option
[13:10] <Dr_willis_> ljsoftnet,  it would be wiorth while to tell us what 'deep freeze' does
[13:10] <noob-africa> russarleo: is that chinese or japanese? or korean?
[13:10] <amanulla> newbie:state?
[13:10] <JuJuBee> I have 2 computers that are not starting nis at boot.  Where to I look to fix this?
[13:10] <noob-africa> Dr_willis_: exactly
[13:10] <Dr_willis_> juliandevwgf,  wmv is a rather hated 'format' technically i think wmv is just a conatiner for other codecs..
[13:10] <Dr_willis_> !wmv
[13:11] <amanulla> noob-africa:i want to acess newbie system
[13:11] <IntuitiveNipple> carrera: software RAID is basically the same as 'fakeRAID', but is also a term for OS-prepared RAID such as md (mdadm). Hardware RAID is when the disk controller does all the RAID work behind the scenes and the OS doesn't know anything about it, or need to get involved with special driveres
[13:11] <juliandevwgf> well
[13:11] <amanulla> newbie:r u ok with it?
[13:11] <juliandevwgf> i need to convert a vob file into a file that will play in windows for a presentation
[13:11]  * Dr_willis_ wonders if amanulla  and newbie  are even in the same geographical area
[13:11] <juliandevwgf> ive spent hours and still cant seem to do it
[13:11] <noob-africa> amanulla: are you in the same building> is newbie's system set up for remote access?
[13:11] <newbie> amanulla:  sorry, but i am not ok with it
[13:11] <ljsoftnet> Dr_willis its a software that when you change something in the OS, when you restart your OS everything will be back to its default state
[13:11] <Dr_willis_> juliandevwgf,  avi will work.. as will dozens of other formats.
[13:12] <IntuitiveNipple> newbie: See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Adhoc
[13:12] <Dr_willis_> juliandevwgf,  with vlc/mplayer/nero player  under windows.. you can play the .vob
[13:12] <newbie> IntuitiveNipple: thank u
[13:12] <juliandevwgf> when i convert it, windows cant read it
[13:12] <ljsoftnet> Dr_willis what i mean about default is, the setting when you first frozen the OS
[13:12] <Dr_willis_> juliandevwgf,  i would be sure to install all the proper codecs you need under windows.
[13:12] <juliandevwgf> ok
[13:12] <amanulla> newbie:any how its ok
[13:12] <amanulla> i may try with some other
[13:13] <juliandevwgf> well im headed to work. il be back on here in 20 min
[13:13] <swap> i want to setup a lan on ubuntu
[13:13] <swap> please can someone help me
[13:13] <carrera> IntuitiveNipple, thanks. So my ASUS-P5E doesn't offer hardwareRAID?
[13:13] <Dr_willis_> swap,  tell the channel.. wired or wireless networking?
[13:14] <akurei> carrera: mine does
[13:14] <swap> wireless Dr_Willis
[13:14] <IntuitiveNipple> carrera: It depends on which chip-set the motherboard has, but generally, it appears ICH9 is 'fakeRAID'
[13:14]  * Dr_willis_ said 'tell the channel'
[13:14] <Dr_willis_> :)
[13:14] <carrera> akurei, are u using an ASUS-P5E?
[13:14] <Dr_willis_> I dont do wireless swap  so good luck.
[13:15] <swap> Dr_Willis thats ok ,thank u
[13:15] <Caveman> swap:
[13:15] <Caveman> swap: what kinda wireless
[13:15] <Caveman> any crypto?
[13:16] <akurei> oh sorry... i'm using Asus P5N32-E
[13:17] <PEAKTOP> want to move ubuntu (established through wubi) at realnyrealny hdd = \
[13:21] <alonggorn> Hi
[13:24] <Klej> maybe someone knows any free shell for psybnc and eggdrop ?
[13:24] <ikonia> Klej: maybe you shouldn't ask in here
[13:25] <craigbass1976> Ok, what gives... I've got a folder on XP Pro shared out wide open as far as I can tell.  I can mount it up on linux, can ls and see the files (which have permissions of -rwxrwSrwt 1 root root) but I can't read them
[13:27] <stork> hey guys, I just created a new username but every time I log in as that username over ssh or into a terminal, that user doesn't get a bash shell by default, just some fairly featureless shell. How can I make the user automatically get a bash shell?
[13:28] <|MUSE|> My computer shares are accessible from other computers, but I am not able to see any windows shares on any other computer from mine. What do I have to do to fix this?
[13:28] <craigbass1976> stork, You have a profile?
[13:28] <Slart> stork: have you checked what shell the user is set to use in /etc/passwd?
[13:28]  * d_dyer is tired :(
[13:28] <stork> I'm not sure, I just called `useradd -d /home/alex alex`
[13:29] <craigbass1976> |MUSE|, well, I'm about to lob grenades at every windows box here (at work)  maybe you could do the same.. Sharing in windows blows... >:|
[13:29] <lw0x15> d_dyer: same had 3hours of sleep 4 hours of college and going to have like 3-4 hours of very busy work today
[13:29] <AdvoWork> how can i upgrade firefox from the terminal? is it even possible?
[13:29] <ikonia> craigbass1976 the permissons on your share looks most odd
[13:29] <ikonia> AdvoWork ubuntu will offer you new packages when new ones are available
[13:29] <stork> okay, I changed the users shell. Why would the default shell be /bin/sh and not /bin/bash anyway?
[13:30] <BlueEagle> AdvoWork: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
[13:30] <|MUSE|> ﻿craigbass1976: I have afew grenades lying around. Sounds like a good plan. :)
[13:30] <BlueEagle> AdvoWork: That will upgrade all availible packages.
[13:30] <jrib> stork: how did you create the user?
[13:30] <Slart> stork: no idea.. some basic setting for all new users created.. most users are services of some kind after all
[13:30] <stork> `useradd -d /home/alex alex`
[13:30] <jrib> !apt > AdvoWork
[13:30] <stork> ah good point Slart
[13:30] <jrib> stork: you should use adduser instead
[13:31] <stork> I see.
[13:31] <AdvoWork> yeah id already done sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
[13:31] <akiluu> yay I managed to install the newest nvidia drivers
[13:31] <attickid> how can I install my webcam in ubuntu. I used the "easycam" program and it installs the driver. however it doesnt work
[13:31] <ikonia> AdvoWork then you are up to date
[13:31] <Slart> stork: from the man page for useradd.. which you of course checked =),  useradd is a low level utility for adding users. On Debian, administrators should usually use adduser(8) instead.
[13:31] <AdvoWork> oh yeah, firefox was already updated DOH, sorry
[13:31] <stork> of course ;)
[13:32] <ActionParsnip> yo yo yo
[13:32] <PEAKTOP> want to move ubuntu (established through wubi) at real hdd?
[13:32] <|MUSE|> ﻿craigbass1976: The only problem is that even the linux samba shares are not visible.
[13:32] <ikonia> PEAKTOP: I'm not sure thats possible
[13:32] <ikonia> |MUSE|: are you trying to browse your network
[13:32] <|MUSE|> yes
[13:32] <ActionParsnip> PEAKTOP: you could dd the data to an iso then dd the iso to a drive, yuo'd have to reinstall grub though (not hard)
[13:33] <ikonia> |MUSE|: common cause for that is the windows / linux computers are not configured in the same network
[13:33] <Dr_willis_> ActionParsnip,  i wonder if one could use mondo/mindi  to do that .. not that i EVER plan onusing wubi..
[13:33] <PEAKTOP> 	How do I know uuid drugovo hdd?
[13:34] <|MUSE|> ﻿ikonia: I am guessing then that my computer is not configured correctly. What do I have to change?

[13:34] <jonnymac> ﻿I was working in Tomboy notes and i had a notebook propped up against the screen. I 'think' it may have pressed exit. How and ever Tomboy notes won't start up at all anymore, not even after I restarted. Any idea what I can do to save my notes?
[13:34] <|MUSE|> I say this because all the other computers can see each other, but I can't see them.
[13:34] <ikonia> |MUSE|: smb.conf, maybe make sure the windows are set to bradcast
[13:34] <ikonia> |MUSE|: common cause is also the same network but different subnets
[13:34] <|MUSE|> ok
[13:35] <ActionParsnip> Dr_willis_: me neither, its pretty worthless
[13:35] <stork> so is it possible to get ubuntu to not start the xserver by default?
[13:36] <ikonia> stork sure
[13:36] <jonnymac> ﻿Is there a way to view the log of whatever my computer has done in the last couple of minutes?
[13:36] <ikonia> jonnymac: syslog
[13:36] <ActionParsnip> stork: you need to edit your menu.lst to boot to the equiv of runlevel 3
[13:36] <ikonia> stork: use update-rc.d to disable xorg
[13:36] <ikonia> AdvoWork: no you don't
[13:36] <ikonia> oops
[13:36] <ikonia> ActionParsnip: not any more
[13:36] <ikonia> ActionParsnip: xorg runs ar run level two now
[13:36] <ActionParsnip> stork: or you can remove the bit in rc.init to not fire the xserver
[13:36] <ActionParsnip> ikonia: wow, crazy
[13:37] <stork> neat, thanks.
[13:37] <ActionParsnip> ikonia: im not rguing with it, works fine
[13:37] <ikonia> ActionParsnip: thats the way ubuntu chose to implment upstart
[13:37] <ikonia> I don't like it
[13:37] <ikonia> the run levels should follow the standard patterns
[13:37] <ActionParsnip> ikonia: then change it :D
[13:37] <ikonia> ActionParsnip it's fine on a one user basis, but for the mass, it should deploy following the established standards
[13:38] <jrib> ikonia: iirc, that comes from the fact that runlevels 2-5 are identical on debian
[13:38] <ikonia> jrib: yup, still not impressed with it
[13:38] <quentusrex> Why is it that I enabled the passwordless sudo, but my sudo user still has to enter the password the first time it uses sudo.
[13:39] <ActionParsnip> ikonia: what i dont get is why there are so many ttys
[13:39] <ActionParsnip> ikonia: i always strip it back to like 2 or 3
[13:40] <quentusrex> Can some one help me figure out what's wrong with my password less sudo configuration?
[13:40] <jonnymac> ikonia- I have no idea what I'm looking at, I'm fairly useless at this kind of thing. Tomboy notes just shut down and won't open again, d'you have any ideas what I can do to get it up and running?
[13:41] <jonnymac> Don't even know where it saved the notes to...
[13:41] <ikonia> jonnymac no idea without looking more under the hood
[13:42] <ActionParsnip> jonnymac: the way to find out is to research
[13:42] <jonnymac> is to research what exactly?
[13:42] <ikonia> jonnymac your syslog, the state of your machine
[13:42] <ActionParsnip> jonnymac: whatever it is you are having issues with
[13:43] <Martiini> please tell me what its called when an application window goes dim using compiz ... I want to disable this ... but .. i dont know what its called
[13:43] <macvr> I keep receiving this message>>>﻿freenode-connect: Received CTCP 'VERSION' (to macvr) from freenode-connect<<<﻿ i'v seen this link>>> http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#freenodeconnect .... has this started or has this been around for a long time?
[13:43] <ikonia> macvr /join #freenode and ask for support
[13:43] <ActionParsnip> Martiini: head to #compiz
[13:43] <macvr> ﻿ ikonia: ok...
[13:44] <Martiini> I found it .. its called "dim unresponsive windows" in compiz
[13:45] <LazyMukke> some1 got an ubuntu server ?
[13:45] <ikonia> LazyMukke yup
[13:45] <LazyMukke> can i have an ssh user on it ?
[13:45] <IdleOne> lmao
[13:45] <ikonia> LazyMukke no
[13:45] <ikonia> LazyMukke do you have a problem we can help with
[13:45] <LazyMukke> my collegeue found a huge ubuntu issue
[13:46] <ikonia> LazyMukke ok, if you tell use we can work it through with you
[13:46] <IdleOne> they can't charge you for Ubuntu?
[13:46] <jonnymac> ah but I'm completely ubuntly challenged, I only use it cos I can't stand Windows. I don't even know where to look for the program files
[13:47] <IdleOne> !packages > jonnymac
[13:47] <IdleOne> !cli > jonnymac
[13:47] <LazyMukke> ikonia, get rid of ubuntu as os on servers, in about this and a week if the bug is not fixxed people gonna lose control over their servers big time
[13:48] <LazyMukke> where to report a bug where it cannot be abused ?
[13:48] <jrib> LazyMukke: bugs.ubuntu.com
[13:48] <ikonia> LazyMukke explain the problem in the channel
[13:48] <dvyjones> I installed Ubuntu Studio from packages in Ubuntu and now my computer boots up in tty1. No big deal as I can do startx in the shell, but kinda annoying. How do I fix it? Ctrl-Alt-F7 doesn't work...
[13:48] <LazyMukke> i can change your root password with from any user on ubuntu
[13:48] <jrib> LazyMukke: yeah, you should explain the issue without disclosing how to do it if you feel it's a security bug
[13:48] <jim_p> dvyjones: reinstall gdm?
[13:49] <jrib> LazyMukke: yeah, you can do that with any user that can sudo
[13:49] <ikonia> LazyMukke that sounds interesting, I'd be interested in hearing more
[13:49] <idimmu> LazyMukke: not by doing sudo passwd ?
[13:49] <jonnymac> Am sorry but that really doesn't explain anything.. The problem is that the program doesn't open anymore and doesn't start even when I restart the computer.
[13:49] <LazyMukke> jrib, and on standard installations every1 has sudo rights
[13:50] <ikonia> jonnymac open a terminal - type tomboy
[13:50] <IdleOne> jonnymac: I sent you those links because you made the comment about program files
[13:50] <jrib> LazyMukke: so?
[13:50] <ikonia> LazyMukke ther is only one user setup
[13:50] <ikonia> LazyMukke: thats the admin user - he has to have sudo rights,
[13:50] <idimmu> LazyMukke: only the setup user gets sudo rights by default
[13:50] <jrib> LazyMukke: only people in the admin group have sudo rights
[13:50] <jrib> LazyMukke: and people in the admin group can do anything root can! :)
[13:50]  * ikonia thinks this is a time wasting issue - hence why LazyMukke asked if he could have a shell on my box
[13:50]  * IdleOne wants to be an admin
[13:51] <LazyMukke> yes
[13:51] <LazyMukke> but it wasn't an admin !
[13:51] <LazyMukke> it was a normal user
[13:51] <ikonia> LazyMukke: thats not a problem
[13:51] <jonnymac> gottit back, will remember that, thanks
[13:51] <ikonia> LazyMukke: look in the sudos file then
[13:51] <ikonia> LazyMukke: see if it's been changed
[13:51] <jrib> LazyMukke: so you changed the root password in some way other than running 'sudo passwd'?
[13:51] <LazyMukke> he has no sudo rights
[13:51] <LazyMukke> yes jrib
[13:51] <jim_p> in fact, the users that can use suro are the ones of the sudo group. "id username" will tell you the abilities of each user
[13:52] <jim_p> *can use sudo
[13:52] <ikonia> LazyMukke: the user you can do this as, type "id" and show me the otuptu
[13:52] <ikonia> output
[13:52] <gormux> hi all
[13:52] <amanulla> hii
[13:53] <LazyMukke> not the point, should a user without sudo rights, be able to change the root's pasword ?
[13:53] <juliandevwgfnbvh> im having trouble playing audio from two different programs at the same time
[13:53] <ikonia> output
[13:53] <gormux> julien  ALL=NOPASSWD:/usr/local/bin/new_files.sh < can you tell me if there is something wrong with this ?
[13:53] <ikonia> LazyMukke the user you can do this with, show me the output of "id"
[13:53] <gormux> it still asks me the password
[13:53] <blueeyez> any one in here there have installed cs 1.6 on your pc?
[13:53] <idimmu> LazyMukke: stop crying wolf and tell us how to replicate your 'bug'
[13:54] <jim_p> juliandevwgfnbvh: what programs? assign them to different channels on the mixer
[13:54] <LazyMukke> nvm
[13:54] <juliandevwgfnbvh> within each program?
[13:54] <blueeyez> anybody in here know how to install cs on linux?
[13:54] <ikonia> LazyMukke the user you can do this with, show me the output of "id"
[13:54] <LazyMukke> you don't even take me serious
[13:54] <juliandevwgfnbvh> firefox and vlc
[13:54] <jim_p> juliandevwgfnbvh: yes
[13:54] <ikonia> LazyMukke: I'm taking you serious which is why I'm asking for information
[13:54] <ActionParsnip> blueeyez: do you mean couterstrike?
[13:54] <blueeyez> yes
[13:54] <LazyMukke> i can't right now
[13:54] <idimmu> LazyMukke: id take you more seriously if you werent running about screaming 'fire fire'
[13:55] <quentusrex> How do I run a command as another user? if the other user doesn't have a password?
[13:55] <blueeyez> i got a guide but somewhere in it im lost
[13:55] <ActionParsnip> blueeyez: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CounterStrike
[13:55] <ikonia> LazyMukke: I think you'll find your mistaken, but you need to check this out before logging it
[13:55] <LazyMukke> and after you do it the user IS in the sudoers file
[13:55] <LazyMukke> true
[13:55] <ikonia> LazyMukke: thats not possible, unless someone has put a script on your box
[13:55] <jrib> quentusrex: sudo -u
[13:55] <ikonia> LazyMukke: that bug would have been found a LONG time ago
[13:55] <ikonia> LazyMukke: I've just tested it now on my machine - it doesn't work
[13:55] <Slart> quentusrex: sudo can do that
[13:56] <ikonia> LazyMukke: I can't reset root user, or any other users password
[13:56] <Xixoxe> I have windows XP installed on my pc, can I also install ubuntu together with it?
[13:56] <blueeyez> any one in here got time to help me? please msg me in private chat
[13:56] <Slart> Xixoxe: yes.. you can dualboot or use wubi to install ubuntu inside windows
[13:56] <ActionParsnip> blueeyez: wassup?
[13:57] <ikonia> blueeyez: what's teh issue
[13:57] <IdleOne> !dualoboot | Xixoxe
[13:57] <IdleOne> !dualboot | Xixoxe
[13:57] <LazyMukke> meh
[13:57] <Xixoxe> lol, why are the pages https?
[13:57] <LazyMukke> what version is ubuntu now ?
[13:57] <ikonia> LazyMukke: 8.04
[13:57] <juliandevwgfnbvh> is there a way that every program uses the same audio mixer
[13:57] <sam38> I recently installed ubuntu and I am a linux newbie. I want to connect to internet but I face problems...what should I do?
[13:57] <IdleOne> Xixoxe: don't let all the links scare you. Go read them and then re-read, then give it a shot
[13:57] <LazyMukke> :s
[13:58] <LazyMukke> ikonia, pm
[13:58] <jin> what is the tool called to enable more compiz plugins?
[13:58] <ikonia> LazyMukke: ok
[13:58] <IdleOne> !ccsm
[13:58] <quentusrex> Can someone help me figure out why my sudo user has to enter his password the first time he uses sudo when he logs into the terminal? Even though I modified visudo to not require the password?
[13:59] <sam38> ?
[13:59] <Slart> quentusrex: tell us what you changed
[13:59] <Slart> quentusrex: a pastebin of the sudoers file might help too..
[13:59] <devedse_> Does someone know how to play a game through ssh, i already set up a ssh server, i want for example maplestory (uses port 8484 to connect to the server) go through ssh to my ssh server at home and from there connect to the maplestory server itself.
[13:59] <Daemonic> Quick question. I'm on a ubuntu 8.04 x86_64 live cd and it detected my resolution as 800x600 when it should be 1680x1050. This is on an nvidia 7800. I tried editing /etc/X11/xorg.conf but the file seems to be rather empty. How can I get the proper resolution on the livecd?
[13:59] <quentusrex> %sudo ALL=NOPASSWD: ALL
[13:59] <quentusrex> then I added the user to the sudo group
[13:59] <wtgee> quentusrex: did you just uncomment it?
[14:00] <johnson_911> johnson_911
[14:00] <cdavis> can someone suggest a good php editor? Basically I am looking for syntax highlighting and maybe quick ways to enter common php strings, like echo "somehtml";
[14:00] <quentusrex> wtgee, yes. I just uncommented it then added my user to group sudo
[14:00] <ActionParsnip> Daemonic: you need to install nvidia-glx-new
[14:00] <wtgee> quentusrex: Becuase you are also a member of the admin group and that line is below the sudo line.
[14:00] <Daemonic> ActionParsnip: can I do that while in the live session?
[14:00] <Slart> cdavis: perhaps bluefish?
[14:01] <quentusrex> aah, so I should commend out the %sudo line, and change the admin line
[14:01] <wtgee> quentusrex: Which is pretty silly.  Move the sudo line below the admin line and then it should be fine.
[14:01] <cdavis> Slart, I will look, thanks
[14:01] <sam38> ahh.  what about my problem
[14:01] <wtgee> quentusrex: Or do that...I just moved my sudo line
[14:01] <Slart> sam38: have you explained your problem?
[14:01] <noob-africa> Question: Am having problems settingup Compiz on my laptop... any takers?
[14:01] <ActionParsnip> Daemonic: you can do anything in live that you can do in installed, your ram is your hard drive
[14:01] <devedse_> someone can help me with forwarding games through ssh?, please private chat me
[14:01] <ActionParsnip> Daemonic: so it is very limited
[14:01] <noob-africa> It is already installed, but there is an error I get when running Compiz from the terminal.
[14:01] <attickid> how can I install my webcam in ubuntu. I used the "easycam" program and it installs the driver. however it doesnt work
[14:02] <ActionParsnip> !compiz | noob-africa
[14:02] <quentusrex> I'm use to using vim, how do I get into 'edit mode' for vi? For vim I just press 'i' first.
[14:02] <Slart> sam38: try to be as detailed as you can, put it all on one line. Include what version of ubuntu you are running etc etc
[14:02] <|MUSE|> ﻿ikonia: Thanks for the help. It took me awhile, but I prevailed. :)
[14:02] <jrib> quentusrex: same
[14:02] <Daemonic> ActionParsnip: ok, so I just installed nvidia-glx-new. Do I just restart X or is there anything else I need to do? ..and thanks for helping.
[14:03] <ActionParsnip> Daemonic: you need to configure your /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[14:03] <wtgee> quentusrex: Visudo is vi which is almost vim, so it should be mostly the same.
[14:03] <sam38> Slart : Yeah....I am new to ubuntu . I am trying to connect to internet but failed.Where should I look?
[14:03] <ActionParsnip> Daemonic: id also get nvidia-settings package
[14:03] <sam38> I am using Ubuntu Hardy Heron
[14:03] <quentusrex> jrib, but it seems to be freaking out on me. if I press 'i' then an arrow key it replaces that line with Capital 'A' for up, or 'B' for down, 'C' for left or 'D' for right....
[14:03] <Slart> sam38: what kind of internet connection do you have?
[14:04] <wtgee> quentusres: It is the arrow keys that are different.  Use hjkl... up, left, right, down
[14:04] <ActionParsnip> sam38: do you connect to a router via LAN or do you use a usb modem?
[14:04] <sam38> Slart : a broadband internet connection.............. ADSL .....I am connected using Ethernet
[14:04] <ActionParsnip> sam38: we need a bit more info
[14:04] <sam38> I provided it
[14:04] <jrib> quentusrex: why don't you just use vim instead of vim-tiny or whatever you are using now?
[14:04] <sam38> If you want more tell me
[14:04] <devedse_> someone can help me with ssh stuf, pls private chat me
[14:05] <jrib> !ssh > devedse_
[14:05] <fentomas> :rofl
[14:05] <ActionParsnip> sam38: does ifconfig show anything intelligent like an ip address that your router would give out?
[14:05] <Daemonic> ActionParsnip: ok, so I'm guessing I have to write my xorg.conf by hand? in my xorg.conf it just has Identifier "Configured Video Device" & Identifier "Configured Monitor"
[14:05] <wtgee> quentusrex: Or something similar :)  I think that is why I ended up just moving the line because you can just 'dd' it and then 'p'...the arrow keys are only different in edit mode
[14:05] <sam38> I dont know ..I will have to check
[14:05] <quentusrex> jrib, I though you have to edit it through visudo, can I just vimsudo?
[14:05] <jrib> quentusrex: no, just install the 'vim' package
[14:05] <Daemonic> ActionParsnip: there aren't the usual lines I'm used to seing in there. seems rather generic, no info at all other than those lines.
[14:06] <sam38> BTW, do I need to configure my PPPoe connection?
[14:06] <quentusrex> jrib, I have vim. But what file do I edit?
[14:06] <wtgee> quentusrex, jrib: No, visudo is an app built on vi,  you have no choice.
[14:06] <ActionParsnip> Daemonic: try xorgconfig
[14:06] <wtgee> jrib:  The app is 'visudo'
[14:06] <jramsey> i switched to kde to try it, decided to go back to gnome but the kubuntu startup graphic is still there; anyone know how to change it back to ubuntu?
[14:06] <quentusrex> wtgee, how do I go to the end of the line and make a new line in vi?
[14:06] <ActionParsnip> sam38: not if you are using ethernet
[14:06] <Daemonic> ActionParsnip: no such command.
[14:07] <jin> what is the tool called to enable more compiz plugins?
[14:07] <ActionParsnip> Daemonic: install it then
[14:07] <sam38> I am using ethernet.
[14:07] <ActionParsnip> !compiz | jin
[14:07] <Daemonic> ActionParsnip: what package is it in?
[14:07] <jrib> wtgee: please read 'man visudo'
[14:07] <ActionParsnip> Daemonic: it may be in one of the same name
[14:08] <Daemonic> ActionParsnip: tried it. E: Couldn't find package xorgconfig
[14:08] <sam38> Can you point me to a link which tells to configure internet settings in Ubunutu....I googled but couldnot find one
[14:08] <jramsey>  i switched to kde to try it, decided to go back to gnome but the kubuntu startup graphic is still there; anyone know how to change it back to ubuntu?
[14:08] <wtgee> quentusrex: I think  most of the commands are the same when not in edit mode but not sure.  'A' should put you in edit mode at the end of the line
[14:08] <waseidel> hi there it's somebody who tell me how to put ubuntu's desktop like "just installed"?
[14:08] <ActionParsnip> sam38: do you get dhcp on the system?
[14:08] <ushills> jramsey. look for upsplashlogo
[14:08] <ActionParsnip> sam38: are the LAN activity lights on
[14:08] <jramsey> ushills: where would i look for it?
[14:08] <sam38> ActionParsnip : yeah
[14:08] <jrib> quentusrex: check that the 'vim' package is actually installed.  It's not by default
[14:08] <jim_p> waseidel: you mean revert to previous state?
[14:09] <sam38> yes LAN lights are on
[14:09] <waseidel> jim_p, but just the desktop
[14:09] <sam38> I am able to access internet from XP.
[14:09] <wtgee> jrib: Hm, interesting, I didn't know that, thanks
[14:09] <quentusrex> jrib, it's installed. the point is that I can only edit the file with visudo
[14:09] <ActionParsnip> sam38: can you ping things, try pingng your router, www.bbc.co.uk and 216.239.59.104
[14:09] <sam38> I am on dual boot system
[14:09] <jim_p> waseidel: which means? the icons, bars theme, etc?
[14:09] <waseidel> jim_p, yeah
[14:09] <sam38> I am able to ping to my ISP server successfully
[14:10] <jrib> quentusrex: yes, but 'man visudo' tells you how it chooses an editor
[14:10] <ActionParsnip> sam38: by name or ip?
[14:10] <sam38> By IP
[14:10] <waseidel> i have read and i can see it's deleting some ".something" files
[14:10] <jim_p> waseidel: well... since i dont remember the exact names of the themes and stuff
[14:10] <ActionParsnip> sam38: how about pinging names like www.ask.com
[14:10] <ushills> jramsey. I think it is in /etc or something similar, basically when you installed kubuntu it installed that logo you need to get the ubuntu one and replace it.   Good upsplash ubuntu and you should find something.
[14:10] <waseidel> jim_p, i have read and i can see it's deleting some ".something" files
[14:10] <sam38> I will have to try pinging names...........
[14:11] <ushills> jramsey. sorry meant to say google upsplash ubuntu
[14:11] <jim_p> waseidel: you can make a new user and look at how his default desktop is and then make yours like his
[14:11] <jramsey> ushills: ok txs am googling now
[14:12] <xhunter> hi
[14:12] <noodle1> I have a problem with TSClient on ubuntu where I can't seem to open more than one TSClient session at a time. Additionally I'm also looking for a way to get the equivalent of ipconfig /all on windows on linux so I can view the DNS information. I've tried google but I can't seem to find the answers.
[14:12] <georgina> How do I quit a status window in irssi?
[14:12] <sam38> ?
[14:12] <ActionParsnip> sam38: do they ping?
[14:12] <ActionParsnip> sam38: the names
[14:13] <waseidel> jim_p, but i do this before was deleting the ".something" files, but it loses all the configuration of all the programs the only i want it's to the desktop it's just one folder thaaat i have to delete but i don't remember wich one
[14:13] <IntuitiveNipple> jramsey: I suspect you can change it here: System > Administration > Login Window -> Local -> "Theme"
[14:13] <sam38> I will have to log off from XP and log into Ubuntu to see......
[14:13] <ActionParsnip> ok
[14:13] <ktne> hello :)

[14:15] <jim_p> is there a way to make gdm's letters bigger?
[14:15] <ktne> dch26:  yes
[14:15] <ktne> dch26:  but i had to do it the manual way by downloading from nvidia site and installing it that way
[14:15] <dch26> do anything special...or out the box?
[14:15] <xhunter> I have this problem since 2 weeks please some one can help ?
[14:15] <jim_p> xhunter: kdm from kde4?
[14:15] <dch26> ah, yup, tried that
[14:15] <dch26> no joy
[14:15] <jrib> quentusrex: what does this return for you:  sudo update-alternatives --config vim
[14:16] <dch26> driver good...but no 3d
[14:16] <IntuitiveNipple> xhunter: On the log-in screen, if there's an action menu, you ought to be able to select the type of session. It sounds as if it is currently set to Terminal instead of KDE
[14:16] <jrib> quentusrex: what does this return for you:  sudo update-alternatives --config vi    :)
[14:16] <ktne> dch26: try out nvidia-settings application and see if it launches correctly
[14:16] <noodle1> intuitivenipple, I do use ifconfig but it doesn't show me DNS information only the configurtaion and allows me to edit the configuration. I want to view the DNS provided to me via DHCP. Additional ip route doesn't show me anything other than my gateway, and I cat /etc/resolve.conf is what exctly Do you want me to browse to that or run that at terminal?
[14:16] <waseidel> jim_p, but i lose all the firefox configuration amule downloads etc, and i don't want to lose that, but i'll keep these folders tnkz jim_p
[14:16] <xhunter> IntuitiveNipple : ok I'll try that and brb
[14:17] <dch26> ktne - it launches but says it cant connect to gl layer (or something like that)
[14:17] <IntuitiveNipple> noodle1: That's what those commands do. "cat /etc/resolv.conf" is the DNS bit
[14:17] <ktne> dch26:  hmm, then the driver has not been installed correctly probably
[14:17] <jim_p> waseidel: well dont detele the .mozilla and .amule folders then!
[14:17] <ActionParsnip> dch26: did you specify refest rates and resolutions in xorg.conf
[14:17] <dch26> and (interestingly) it cant save my xorg.conf file (access rights?) so i just copy and paste its stuff into sudo gedit
[14:18] <ktne> dch26:  yes you need proper sudo
[14:18] <dch26> ktne- have used envy to uninstall and re-install, and tried native install of nvidia drivers...all to same effect - boo
[14:18] <ktne> ActionParsnip: you don't need proper refresh rates yet
[14:18] <jramsey> anything bad happen if i just remove kubuntu related pkgs in synaptic?
[14:18] <ActionParsnip> ktne: my nvidia drivers dont kick in until i specify them
[14:18] <||arifaX> i, I want to use debian x86 bigmem kernel on my kubuntu hardy. is there a good howto for doing that and what might cause problems?
[14:18] <gynterk> hello, Ubunty hardy, why Basero doesn't show any devices if I want to burn image?
[14:19] <ktne> dch26:  i'm not sure what that envy application does since i just downloaded and installed that way, did you get any error during driver installation?
[14:19] <ushills> jramsey. check through the dependancies that it removes to make sure gnome desktop and similar are not autoremoved.  if not should be okay, you will always have cli.
[14:19] <dch26> ktne - nope, said all good. i wish it did give me an error! i get the nvidia splash screen and the right res, and 2d is fast (no dragging)....
[14:19] <noodle1> IntuitiveNipple, I'm sorry I fail to understand. I think you are saying those commands write to resolve.conf? If so thats great, but it still doesn't help me determine my DNS provided to me via DHCP?
[14:19] <ActionParsnip> gynterk: do you have a /dev/cdrw
[14:20] <jramsey> ushills: if i boot and i don't see a gui, what then? if i have cli i guess reinstall the ubuntu desktop with apt-get?
[14:20] <ActionParsnip> dch26: does glxinfo | grep direct say you have direct rendering?
[14:20] <IntuitiveNipple> noodle1: No, those commands report the network interface configurations, the routing table, and the DNS configuration
[14:20] <gynterk> ActionParsnip, yes cdrw -> scd0
[14:20] <ushills> jramsey. correct
[14:20] <jramsey> ushills: ok txs
[14:20] <nightdragon> jramsey:  thers a command to start up x11
[14:20] <nightdragon> startx i think it is
[14:20] <ActionParsnip> gynterk: ok so brasserio cant find it?
[14:20] <jramsey> nightdragon: ok txs
[14:21] <ktne> dch26: try to uninstall all existing nvidia drivers before installing manually, i had to do so before it worked because there were some leftover files that made it incompatible
[14:21] <noodle1> IntuitiveNipple, ok so what is the significance of cat /etc/resolve.conf?
[14:21] <joshuablount> Hmm. After today's updates, I rebooted and now I can see the gdm login screen, but all interface tools won't work. Any idea where to get started trouble shooting?
[14:21] <gynterk> ActionParsnip, "Select drive to write to" is unselectable
[14:21] <ushills> jramsey.  if you are using wifi then you may have an issue, although you can use a Hardy CD as a source if you have no internet. With ethernet connection no issues.
[14:21] <dch26> actionparsnip (interesting handle!) - erm, no , it just complains about inability to finf rgb glx visual and tells me that basically glx extension is missing on display ":0.0"
[14:21] <xhunter> I tryed that
[14:22] <joshuablount> Also, interface tools (keyboard, mouse) work if I hit ctrl+alt+f1 to get to the shell.
[14:22] <xhunter> but it just gives me a terminal
[14:22] <ActionParsnip> !burning
[14:22] <dch26> ktne - have tried searching for conflicting driver files libGL, etc etc and removed all 'older looking ones' manually.
[14:22] <ktne> dch26:  maybe your xorg.conf is missing proper glx extension activation
[14:22] <xhunter> How can I install the kdm dekstop environment ? some one help me please ?
[14:23] <jrib> !kde | xhunter
[14:23] <ActionParsnip> gynterk: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=750767
[14:23] <ushills> xhunter. select it in synaptic manager
[14:23] <jim_p> xhunter: sudo apt-get install kdm
[14:23] <ActionParsnip> gynterk: do you use hibernate / standby?
[14:23] <IntuitiveNipple> noodle1: /etc/resolv.conf contains the current DNS configuration
[14:23] <xhunter> I can't I only have a terminal
[14:23] <xhunter> so no select manager
[14:23] <xhunter> :)
[14:23] <gynterk> ActionParsnip, no, since those aren't working
[14:23] <ktne> dch26:  on message #9 is a config file that i used as inspiration for my xorg.conf http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=227433
[14:24] <dch26> ktne - i have glx mentioned in modules section but not in extensions section
[14:24] <ActionParsnip> gynterk: does it work in another cd burning app (just to test)
[14:24] <Ornedan> G'day. I've got a laptop (Lenovo T61) with unfortunately situated and redundant (at the very front edge) mouse buttons. Could someone give me pointers on how to configure X to ignore them?
[14:24] <noodle1> IntuitiveNipple, so you are saying browse to it via gui or can I access it via terminal?
[14:24] <laeg> how do i translate and ip to a domain name something like /dns or /nslookup?
[14:24] <ushills> xhunter: from cli sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[14:24] <peti> hy all
[14:24] <ktne> dch26:  what is the name of your driver? "nv" or "nvidia"?
[14:24] <gynterk> I have only Brasero :)
[14:24] <ktne> dch26:  in Device Section
[14:25] <dch26> ktne - have tried both! nvidia right now i think (nv is restricted??)
[14:25] <IntuitiveNipple> noodle1: I gave you a command string to report all the information you wanted to see
[14:25] <ActionParsnip> gynterk: try sudo apt-get install gnomebaker
[14:25] <ktne> dch26:  nv is an open source driver that has no 3d acceleration, nvidia is proprietary but has 3d acceleration
[14:25] <gynterk> ActionParsnip, right click on image and write do disk doesn't work either
[14:25] <Flxr> is there a command-line utility that does reverse IP domains check, like what this website does: http://myipneighbors.com
[14:25] <ndo> How do i delete a file in cli?:)
[14:25] <jrib> !cli > ndo
[14:25] <ActionParsnip> ndo: rm file
[14:26] <ktne> ndo:  with rm command, but be careful, check out "man rm" to see instructions
[14:26] <laeg> Flxr: this is exactly what i'm looking for also
[14:26] <noodle1> I ran ifconfig -a, I ran ip route, and neither showed me the DNS. ifconfig showed me my network scheme but not DNS or GW, IP route showed me my IP scheme minus my IP and the GW, and nether showed me DNS
[14:26] <Ornedan> laeg: http://remote.12dt.com/ <- This might do what you're looking for
[14:26] <ndo> ty, love ya, have a nice day! :)
[14:26] <noodle1> Did I miss a cmd somewhere?
[14:26] <dch26> ktne - is it right to have 2 device sections? 1 for Device0 and 1 for Videocard0?
[14:26] <knittl> hi. can anybody help me with xkbmaps? i need a list of all possible keynames there are
[14:27] <ActionParsnip> Ornedan: ping -a x.y.z.a
[14:27] <ktne> dch26:  at least one for device, one for monitor and one for screen afaik, i think the screen section combines a device and a monitor
[14:27] <laeg> Ornedan: it only resolves it to the country unfortunately
[14:27] <ActionParsnip> Ornedan: do yu mean change an ip to a name?
[14:27] <rat|man> I have a small doubt, interpid beta was released last day.. and they say the stable will be out in next 20 odd days.. how will they fix all the bugs people report in such a short period and release the stable version ?
[14:27] <laeg> ActionParsnip: yes
[14:28] <ActionParsnip> laeg: yeah, ping -a does it
[14:28] <laeg> ActionParsnip: i used to be able to do it in mirc and even command prompt with /dns and /nslookup
[14:28] <Ornedan> ActionParsnip: Not my question
[14:28] <ActionParsnip> Ornedan: i used the site but i dont get what its actually doing
[14:28] <noodle1> IntuitiveNipple, I think I know what I did wrong but I need you to clarify something. I think you wanted me to run cat /etc/resolve.conf with one of those commands? Please clarify, I think I missed a point you made.
[14:28] <laeg> ActionParsnip: that's not giving me a hostname.. and my computer is now beeping at me constantly
[14:29] <ActionParsnip> laeg: man ping will show you what you did.
[14:29] <ActionParsnip> laeg: its possibly something else like maybe a firewall
[14:29] <laeg> ActionParsnip: i can't type anything because it keeps pinging
[14:29] <dch26> ktne: in extensions section i only have 'composite enable' - i took a look at msg 9 in that thread and saw no extension section at all
[14:29] <ActionParsnip> laeg: ctrl + c
[14:29] <laeg> thanks
[14:30] <SamanthaGothica> Hey good morning to you all, I'd like some help with Ubuntu Please, I have a dual boot two hard drives one master has Windows XP & slave has Ubuntu now the problem is I can't write on the NTFS partitions and 2 I want to burn a linux distro on ubuntu but what is there that i can use , like nero for windows?

[14:30] <ActionParsnip> !ntfs-3g | SamanthaGothica
[14:30] <padee> hi there. can i find here someone who is familiar with ALSA and campcaster on gutsy?
[14:30] <ikonia> SamanthaGothica where you not asking this earler
[14:30] <ActionParsnip> SamanthaGothica: it cannot modify files with weird ntfs permission
[14:30] <ktne> dch26:  i don't have an extensions section either
[14:31] <ikonia> SamanthaGothica: we went thorugh a lot of optiosn with your earlier
[14:31] <laeg> ActionParsnip: are you saying it doesn't have a hostname?
[14:31] <ikonia> SamanthaGothica: you appear to be asking the same questions
[14:31] <SamanthaGothica> no it wasn't me
[14:31] <ActionParsnip> laeg: it has to have a hostname
[14:31] <SamanthaGothica> i just got on its 9:31 here in ny
[14:31] <ikonia> SamanthaGothica yes it was
[14:31] <ikonia> SamanthaGothica you where logged in as samanthagothlove
[14:32] <laeg> ActionParsnip: 87.192.92.168
[14:32] <SamanthaGothica> yea i was
[14:32] <SamanthaGothica> but that was yesterday
[14:32] <ikonia> SamanthaGothica: no that was earlier today
[14:32] <SamanthaGothica> huh
[14:32] <ikonia> SamanthaGothica: time zones - it was a few hours ago

[14:33] <SamanthaGothica> thanks bye
[14:33] <dch26> ktne: have looked at the x log and i get messages about: /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions//libglx.so: undefined symbol: _nv001464gl
[14:33] <ActionParsnip> laeg: hmm, gimme a sec
[14:33] <padee> can i ask the exaxtly same question again ;) ?
[14:33] <dch26> ktne: which is what made me try to remove 'older files' - but still no joy
[14:34] <laeg> ActionParsnip: kk no worries thanks
[14:35] <ktne> dch26:  that looks like some dangling old library, you should use apt-get remove to remove old unneeded packages
[14:35] <ActionParsnip> laeg: http://www.webyield.net/cgi-bin/ipwhois.cgi?addr=87.192.92.168
[14:35] <dch26> ktne: apt-get remove on what tho?
[14:35] <ktne> dch26:  also maybe your kernel module has no been properly compiled and installed during driver installation
[14:35] <ActionParsnip> laeg: its in ireland
[14:35] <ktne> dch26:  on the old nvidia packages you might have installed
[14:35] <laeg> ActionParsnip: yes, i was just wondering about the isp
[14:36] <laeg> ActionParsnip: is reverse dns something that is turned off from the client side?
[14:36] <dch26> ktne: hope not kernel compile stuff....not that experienced on ubuntu yet.....
[14:36] <baldur_> anyone here that can help me with flashplayer proplems in firefox ????
[14:36] <ActionParsnip> im not sure, it appears to be the case
[14:36] <baldur_> anyone here that can help me with flashplayer proplems in firefox ???? it doesnt play sound and seams to crash every now and then ??
[14:36] <ktne> dch26:  you don't need to compile yourself, the driver installation application tries to do it for you
[14:36] <ktne> dch26:  it can fail if you don't have the right stuff installed
[14:36] <Neaai> hello all. I would like to know where is the information at ubuntu.com webpage that informs us all about the mirrors to put in sources.list?  I find it frustrating that such information has to be burried somewhere deep in that page...
[14:37] <ktne> dch26:  like linux kernel headers and a minimal build environment (compiler)
[14:37] <ActionParsnip> laeg: Irish Broadband Internet Services Limited.
[14:37] <laeg> how did you check that?
[14:37] <dch26> ktne: ok, when i installed the nvidia drivers, yes u r right, it made me download some libc stuff and compiled it for me using the nvidia tools...
[14:37] <ActionParsnip> laeg: http://cqcounter.com/whois/\
[14:37] <ActionParsnip> laeg: http://cqcounter.com/whois/
[14:37] <ActionParsnip> stupid kboard
[14:37] <laeg> can't we do it from terminal? :)
[14:37] <ActionParsnip> laeg: id imagine so, not sure
[14:38] <craigbass1976> Ok, samba and this XP box I'm fighting with are going badly...  Read some tuts and still getting nowhere.  I can mount up the share, can see the files, but can't access the files.
[14:38] <IntuitiveNipple> laeg: whois <ip address>
[14:38] <IntuitiveNipple> laeg: or, whois domain.name
[14:38] <craigbass1976> mount -t cifs //IP.AD.DRE.SS/Data /home/me/share/ -o Everyone,iocharset=utf8
[14:38] <trilobiti> hello all. I would like to know where is the information at ubuntu.com webpage that informs us all about the mirrors to put in sources.list?  I find it frustrating that such information has to be burried somewhere deep in that page...
[14:38] <ikonia> craigbass1976: what is your linux username
[14:38] <craigbass1976> craig
[14:39] <ikonia> craigbass1976: what is your XP username
[14:39] <dch26> ktne: thx 4 your time...have to dash...will try harder on nvidia 3d stuff and let u know. cheers

[14:39] <zj3t3mju> how to solve it?
[14:39] <ikonia> craigbass1976: you need to mount it as the XP user (the XP machien is doing the authentication)
[14:40] <craigbass1976> ikonia, I'll try this... but I did make Everyone able to change files
[14:40] <zj3t3mju> my graphics card 845G

[14:41] <mntnpngn> ugg...  having some lockup problems with 2.6.24-19 kernel.   is this known problem?
[14:41] <zj3t3mju> can turn off gdm, start again but it was black
[14:41] <zj3t3mju> if restart it ok
[14:41] <ActionParsnip> craigbass1976: you could add unauthenticated users (i think) but its massively unsecure
[14:41] <Thorndrake> gmailfs crashed my gmail account....anyone know a better way to use gmail as a drive?
[14:41] <IntuitiveNipple> zj3t3mju: You could try Alt+SysRq+K to kill all processes on the virtual terminal; That'll usually restart all of Gnome or KDE or whatever display manager is running
[14:42] <ActionParsnip> Thorndrake: didnt know you could
[14:42] <allquixotic> My server is headless but I want to set up the X server and GNOME packages. If I try to install the ubuntu-desktop package, it tries to pull in the whole world of Xorg input and video drivers, none of which will be used. Is there any way to prevent those from being installed?
[14:42] <ActionParsnip> Thorndrake: interesting
[14:42] <noodle1> ﻿I'm having a problem with TSClient, how do I open up more than one sessions at a time?
[14:42] <trilobiti> IntuitiveNipple: I'd wish the ubuntu people had that information more accessible and easier to be found though. If any of the ubuntu developers is reading this, the better is.
[14:42] <ushills> Thorndrake. What purpose do you need this for there may be an alternative
[14:42] <ActionParsnip> allquixotic: ubuntu-desktop is a metapackage, you could copy the package names that make it up and then carve out the fluff
[14:43] <Thorndrake> I need it for backup of students assignments
[14:43] <ActionParsnip> allquixotic: then apt-get install the packages
[14:43] <allquixotic> ActionParsnip: argh, exactly what I was hoping wouldn't be the case, okay thanks
[14:43] <Thorndrake> it's a studentassistent gmail account.
[14:43] <ActionParsnip> allquixotic: you can remove them once you are setup
[14:43] <IntuitiveNipple> trilobiti: It is also on http://packages.ubuntu.com when selecting a package .deb for download, when choosing the mirror
[14:43] <ushills> thorndrake. are you opposed to paying a small amount for online backup
[14:43] <coleosis> How do I tell which generation of MacBook I have? My sound isn't working and I'm not sure which Wiki to read.
[14:44] <Azhi_Dahaka> Hi
[14:44] <Azhi_Dahaka> My GUI apps are unable to be launched
[14:44] <ActionParsnip> coleosis: just use lspci and it will tell you what soundcard you have
[14:44] <Oli``> How can I pipe debug statements to file?
[14:44] <trilobiti> IntuitiveNipple: oh. But i wasn't able to find it when browsing the page though.. got confused :/
[14:44] <Thorndrake> I am because I would have to pay for it myself even if it's for the university, it's not a very prudent practice to ask for funds here :P
[14:44] <ActionParsnip> Oli``: some command > ~/.output.txt
[14:45] <Flukey> hey guys
[14:45] <ushills> thorndrake. I used to use gmail for small incremantal backups now use jungledisk and amazon a3.  You can use duplicity with a a3 account and just pay for space.  Couple of dollars a month for 17Gb
[14:45] <Flukey> slight problem. i keep doing df -h and i'm losing 1gb a minute. it keeps going down
[14:45] <Flukey> :s
[14:45] <Flukey> :S
[14:45] <trilobiti> IntuitiveNipple: the idea is that the mirrors that the installer has put for me, are slow. And I'd wish to change them directly at the sources.list line.
[14:45] <dft> morning
[14:45] <Oli``> ActionParsnip: that only pipes normal output - not debugging junk
[14:45] <mntnpngn> anyone tried 2.6.27 kernel?
[14:45] <coleosis> ActionParsnip: Thank you.
[14:45] <Azhi_Dahaka> I was thinking that it was a Firefox issue (launching Firefox and no window opens, yet the process still is listed in ps)... but now, gnome-terminal, nautilus, xchat-gnome... all of them are on ps but neither have a window on the desktop
[14:45] <ikonia> mntnpngn everyone running 8.10

[14:46] <coleosis> The sad part is I've tried to installation method for the ICH8 chipset :(

[14:46] <ikonia> craigbass1976 what error
[14:46] <Thorndrake> webdav?
[14:46] <craigbass1976> Of course, I'm just entering through the password, but there's no pas on the xp box to begin with
[14:46] <Azhi_Dahaka> but i want to fix the problem, not ignore it
[14:46] <ikonia> craigbass1976: not sure how samba hangles usernames with spaces in
[14:46] <mntnpngn> ohy...  I'm just having serious lockup problems with 2.6.24-19 on hardy
[14:46] <craigbass1976> ikonia, I tried Cabinet\ Folks too
[14:46] <ikonia> craigbass1976 what's the actual error
[14:47] <craigbass1976> ikonia, It mounts up fine, but I get a permission error when I try to copy or read a file
[14:47] <ikonia> craigbass1976 can you post the pastebin with the permissions again please.
[14:47] <ushills> webdav is a method for accessing remote server folders as if they were a folder on your machine. Built in to ubuntu already.
[14:47] <Thorndrake> ok, great, so fastmail it is?
[14:47] <Flukey> lol machine went from 140gb to 0gb, and now it's going back up :S
[14:48] <craigbass1976> ikonia, -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root  (which is different than before.  I was getting something like -rwxrSxr-x 1 root root)
[14:48] <ActionParsnip> Azhi_Dahaka: you got a weird one there, you could use opera to webbrowse til you get it sorted though
[14:48] <ushills> Thorndrake. check the space given away free, gmail has more but fastmail may provide enough.  Alternatively google for free webdav online storage you should find some. there are reviews of the best online.
[14:49] <IntuitiveNipple> trilobiti: System > Administration > Software Sources -> "Ubuntu Software" -> "Download From" -> "Other..." and then select the one you want
[14:49] <ikonia> craigbass1976 yes, your other permissions where nuts,
[14:49] <ActionParsnip> Azhi_Dahaka: or maybe if you compile it it might work
[14:49] <Azhi_Dahaka> as i said, it's not a firefox issue
[14:49] <ikonia> craigbass1976 that looks quite normal, could you pastebin the ouput of "mount" please.
[14:49] <allquixotic> ActionParsnip: I'm not installing ubuntu-desktop, but it keeps trying to "automatically install" all kinds of packages I don't want. I am running a server whose GUI will only be accessed over NX (like VNC); I don't want anything about printers or input devices or displays! Besides, cupsys won't install, it errors out, so I don't want to install it anyway. Can't I force it not to automatically
[14:49] <allquixotic> install all this crap?
[14:49] <Azhi_Dahaka> it's a general one, as xchat, terminal and nautilus have the same behavior
[14:49] <FORGODSSAKELEAVE> I really really hate this whole freaking nickname crap
[14:50] <ikonia> FORGODSSAKELEAVE
[14:50] <allquixotic> ActionParsnip: I took the ubuntu-desktop dependencies list, trimmed what I didn't want, but somehow they're still getting pulled in by the other packages.
[14:50] <ikonia> FORGODSSAKELEAVE: chose a simple short nick then
[14:50] <FORGODSSAKELEAVE> I can't. They're ALL taken
[14:50] <ActionParsnip> Azhi_Dahaka: id reset your gnome back to defaults then it might be better
[14:50] <craigbass1976> ikonia, http://rafb.net/p/Vd8svh41.html
[14:50] <Azhi_Dahaka> how do you do that?
[14:50] <zj3t3mju> baldur_: try flashplayer 10
[14:50] <ActionParsnip> allquixotic: you might have to do them individually then to check what they bring down as well
[14:50] <IntuitiveNipple> Azhi_Dahaka: Is it possible you've got multiple  DISPLAY settings and the invisible applications are on another DISPLAY ?
[14:51] <ikonia> craigbass1976 that all looks spot on
[14:52] <Azhi_Dahaka> well, i installed Ubuntu on monday and have never connected this laptop to an external display... also it starts to happen when Ubuntu wants to...so i doubt it
[14:52] <Azhi_Dahaka> also, sound is gone
[14:52] <craigbass1976> ikonia, I know.  Dumb, dumb...  Would adding a password to the windows account and then including it in my mount command help?  Does it matter that this folder I'm after is in App Data (which is hidden by default in XP) ?
[14:53] <craigbass1976> ikonia, what also blows my mind is that there is a printer shared out on that windows box, and I print to it from linux fine.
[14:53] <ikonia> craigbass1976 I don't see how, as your authed ok now - and your permissions are world write
[14:53] <ikonia> craigbass1976: ahhh wait
[14:53] <Azhi_Dahaka> hmmm... i want to do the opposite of what craigbass1976 wants to
[14:53] <ikonia> craigbass1976: I see it
[14:53] <Martiini> is there a keyboard shortcut to cascade all open windows
[14:53] <ikonia> craigbass1976: on the linux box - type "id" for me
[14:53] <craigbass1976> uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root)
[14:53] <ikonia> craigbass1976: it's not world writeable
[14:54] <IntuitiveNipple> Azhi_Dahaka: No, it's not about physical displays. X can run multiple screens, the current one is reported by doing "echo $DISPLAY" - it would usually be ":0" but it is *possible* (although unlikely) that there are other screen's configured that don't have a physical display surface (e.g. :0.1 or :1)
[14:54] <ikonia> craigbass1976: ahhh your connected as "you" but your permissions are root
[14:54] <Thorndrake> General question, when I press the keys <CTRL>+<ALT>+<F1> then I only get a blank screen no terminal... I'm currently using Hardy. Also if my screen goes blank after a while because of the screen saver I have to press <CTRL>+<ALT>+<F1> and then <CTRL>+<ALT>+<F7>....
[14:54] <ActionParsnip> Azhi_Dahaka: rename ~/.gnome ~/.gnome2 ~/.gconf ~/.gconfd ~/.metacity
[14:54] <craigbass1976> Azhi_Dahaka, samba server in Ubuntu is wicked easy.  It's when windows is the server that things get hairy
[14:54] <AJuOnLiNE|zZz> my 8.04 doesnt boot after an upgrade. libc6 probably corrupt or something to do with it when upgraded.
[14:54] <Martiini> someone file a bugreport on gnome for me please ... about implementing keyboard shortcut for casading all open windows
[14:54] <ActionParsnip> Azhi_Dahaka: rename all those to something else
[14:54] <ikonia> craigbass1976: can you make that world writeable to test ?
[14:54] <Linuturk> using the alternate installer disk, is it possible to install a server installation?
[14:54] <dido> hello.how to install Firefox 3 on Ubuntu 8.04?
[14:54] <ikonia> Linuturk: the server isntall uses the altnerative installer anyweay
[14:55] <ikonia> dido: it's already installed
[14:55] <ActionParsnip> AJuOnLiNE|zZz: did you upgrade to intrepid?
[14:55] <craigbass1976> ikonia, from the windows box?
[14:55] <ikonia> craigbass1976 correct
[14:55] <AJuOnLiNE|zZz> ActionParsnip: no. just apt-get update and upgrade a week back
[14:55] <craigbass1976> ikonia, I believe it is already
[14:55] <ikonia> craigbass1976 not according to the permissions you posted me
[14:55] <ActionParsnip> Linuturk: theres very little difference between the server and desktop except the standard app it install afaik
[14:55] <Linuturk> ikonia: actually, the default alternate install loads a generic kernel, not a server kernel
[14:55] <Azhi_Dahaka> also, sound is gone
[14:55] <AJuOnLiNE|zZz> ActionParsnip: since then its dead. i am trying to recover it today.
[14:55] <ikonia> Linuturk why do you want a server kernel
[14:55] <AJuOnLiNE|zZz> since then
[14:56] <Linuturk> ikonia: b/c it's a server . . .
[14:56] <ikonia> Linuturk: thats not what the server kernel is there for
[14:56] <coleosis> Azhi_Dahaka: What did you change that your sound is not working?
[14:56] <ikonia> Linuturk: a desktop kernel is more suited to "home" hardware
[14:56] <ikonia> Linuturk: and the server installer uses the "alternative" installer, eg: the ncurses based installer
[14:56] <Linuturk> ikonia: I'm not using "home" hardware . . . I'm using a Dell Poweredge server
[14:56] <ikonia> Linuturk ahh, then your spot on
[14:56] <dido> ikenia.but i have problem google home page do not appear when i am trying to open it
[14:57] <Linuturk> ikonia: what I'm asking is, can I envoke the server install via the alt disk?
[14:57] <ikonia> dido that doesn't mean firefox is not installed
[14:57] <AJuOnLiNE|zZz> ActionParsnip: right now i am on through the Live CD
[14:57] <ikonia> Linuturk no
[14:57] <Linuturk> ok
[14:57] <Azhi_Dahaka> nothing
[14:57] <Linuturk> thanks :)
[14:57] <ikonia> Linuturk: but you can install the linux-server kernel from an existing install
[14:57] <Azhi_Dahaka> I was playing video fine
[14:57] <Azhi_Dahaka> then the thing with the windows happened and i just found out that sound is gone
[14:57] <ActionParsnip> AJuOnLiNE|zZz: youo could try reinstalling the libc6 thing (or whatever it was)
[14:58] <AJuOnLiNE|zZz> ActionParsnip: how? i just cant boot to the OS.
[14:58] <ActionParsnip> Azhi_Dahaka: id try getting your apps to appear first, then sound later
[14:58] <ActionParsnip> AJuOnLiNE|zZz: what does it say when you try
[14:58] <Azhi_Dahaka> Weird thing is that VLC DOES open a Window
[14:59] <AJuOnLiNE|zZz> ActionParsnip: it stalls. no output on screen. caps lock key keeps blinking. i have to force power off the laptop. after update it said segment faul. etc.
[14:59] <ActionParsnip> Azhi_Dahaka: try sudo apt-get install fluxbox and use that instead
[14:59] <Azhi_Dahaka> hmm... gnome-terminal, nautilus, xchat-gnome and firefox use the same widget engine,right?
[14:59] <ActionParsnip> Azhi_Dahaka: log out after installing, chang session type
[15:00] <ActionParsnip> Azhi_Dahaka: are you using any compiz rubbish?
[15:00] <Azhi_Dahaka> ActionParsnip: as I said, i don't want to ignore the problem... I want to fix it
[15:00] <ruif13> hi
[15:00] <Azhi_Dahaka> No, compiz is gone... messes up with video playback
[15:00] <ActionParsnip> Azhi_Dahaka: but with a different WM you can check configs in apps to make sure its all square
[15:00] <ruif13> hi in my trashcan i try to empty and the files don't goes out
[15:00] <ruif13> anyone can help?
[15:00] <ruif13> :)
[15:01] <Azhi_Dahaka> as I said, apps were working fine
[15:01] <Azhi_Dahaka> suddenly, start behaving like Firefox yesterday
[15:01] <Azhi_Dahaka> a restart would bring things back to normal
[15:01] <hateball> !trash | ruif13
[15:01] <IntuitiveNipple> Azhi_Dahaka: Does this happen if you create a new user account and log-in with that?
[15:01] <ActionParsnip> !trash | ruif13
[15:02] <ruif13> hum
[15:02] <AJuOnLiNE|zZz> ActionParsnip: do i need to re-install or I can recover my install?
[15:02] <ActionParsnip> ruif13: make sure that folder is empty
[15:03] <ruif13> ~/.local/share/Trash
[15:03] <ruif13> ?
[15:03] <ruif13> that one?
[15:03] <ActionParsnip> AJuOnLiNE|zZz: i dunno what to suggest
[15:03] <ActionParsnip> ruif13: yeah
[15:03] <ActionParsnip> cd ~/.local/share/Trash && sudo rm -rf *
[15:03] <Azhi_Dahaka> ok, gonna jump into screen and enter here to test it
[15:04] <ruif13> yes
[15:04] <ruif13> its clean :)
[15:04] <AJuOnLiNE|zZz> ActionParsnip: i can mount the install partition and try restoring the packages or even re-installing while logged in through a livecd?
[15:04] <ActionParsnip> AJuOnLiNE|zZz: id install fluxbox to enable you to test apps see if metacity is fault
[15:05] <ActionParsnip> AJuOnLiNE|zZz: yeah you can chroot
[15:05] <AJuOnLiNE|zZz> ActionParsnip: yes. can you help me do that via chroot method? just re-install the libc6 and try booting again?
[15:05] <Azhi_Dahaka> ok, so the plan is create a new user and logout of gnome
[15:05] <Azhi_Dahaka> then try again?
[15:05] <techno> hi
[15:05] <IntuitiveNipple> Azhi_Dahaka: Yes, it's the best way to determine if the problem us profile-related, or system-wide
[15:05] <ActionParsnip> AJuOnLiNE|zZz: its worth a go. id also try sudo apt-get -f install
[15:06] <ActionParsnip> Azhi_Dahaka: sounds good to me, you can then copy bits of your old profile over
[15:06] <Flukey> lol strigi is 121gb in size!
[15:06] <ActionParsnip> Azhi_Dahaka: then remove the old user
[15:06] <craigbass1976> ikonia, the windows share (according to XP) is wide open.  I cannot access it from another windows box either though.  Xp is retarded...
[15:06] <ActionParsnip> !info strigi
[15:07] <ikonia> craigbass1976 it would appear to be the case, as linux isn't showing it the same
[15:07] <ikonia> craigbass1976: make sure the share (not file system) permissions are set correctly
[15:07] <ActionParsnip> craigbass1976: do you have a firewall on XP?
[15:07] <freedoms_stain> I wonder if I could talk to someone about dual booting and disk partitioning?
[15:07] <ActionParsnip> freedoms_stain: ask in the room
[15:08] <Flukey> ActionParsnip: ?
[15:08] <Azhi_Dahaka> how can i create it from the cli?
[15:08] <Azhi_Dahaka> the Gnome app isg getting some unexpected errors
[15:08] <ushills> freedoms_stain. We've  probably all done it
[15:08] <freedoms_stain> sorry ActionParsnip, IRC ias new to me, where is the room?
[15:08] <ActionParsnip> freedoms_stain: you are in it
[15:08] <ActionParsnip> freedoms_stain: ask here
[15:08] <IntuitiveNipple> Azhi_Dahaka: sudo adduser <username>
[15:08] <ikonia> freedoms_stain everyone is in "the room" and can see you talking
[15:09] <freedoms_stain> ok, cool
[15:09] <Azhi_Dahaka> that's it?
[15:09] <Azhi_Dahaka> it autohandles the groups and other crap?
[15:09] <ActionParsnip> Azhi_Dahaka: yep, then make sure they are a member of admin
[15:09] <IntuitiveNipple> Azhi_Dahaka: Yes. That's the Debian extension to the low-level useradd. adduser does all the set-up required
[15:09] <craigbass1976> ikonia, firewall is off
[15:10] <ikonia> craigbass1976 didn't think it was on, your connected fine
[15:10] <ActionParsnip> craigbass1976: is the xp firewall still around?
[15:10] <freedoms_stain> Basically I have two hard drives, both formatted for Windows, If I move all the files to the drive with windows installed can I then freely install ubuntu on the other hard drive or do I have to do some sort of formatting in Windows before that would be possible?
[15:10] <Azhi_Dahaka> How can i make them a member of admin, from the cli?
[15:10] <ActionParsnip> freedoms_stain: correct, just move the data over and unpartition the drive leaving it unallocated
[15:11] <_Zeus_> freedoms_stain: you will need to format the drive when you install ubuntu...
[15:11] <IntuitiveNipple> Azhi_Dahaka: To add to the adm group: sudo adduser <user> adm
[15:11] <ushills> freedom_stain. when the one drive is clear install ubuntu and it will format and set up dual boot.  Be sure to format the correct drive though.
[15:11] <ActionParsnip> freedoms_stain: ubuntu will offer to use it and install, it will also see the NTFS partition and add it to fstab as well as see its bootable and add the dual boot shizz for you
[15:11] <freedoms_stain> The drive in question has no partitions, so just format it in ubuntu? nothing to do on the windows side?
[15:11] <allquixotic> OK, restating what I said earlier: I have a headless server that I want to have a desktop environment for NX access. I am trying to install these packages together, but when I do, *something* is pulling in desktop-base, the -generic kernel and xorg input and display drivers. http://rafb.net/p/0JFbyG50.html What's bringing them in?
[15:11] <asoot> hi
[15:12] <Azhi_Dahaka> how can i check the groups that an user belongs to?
[15:12] <ActionParsnip> freedoms_stain: the formatting is automatically done as part of the install
[15:12] <IntuitiveNipple> Azhi_Dahaka: groups <user>
[15:12] <ushills> freedoms_stain. I would suggest partitioning a home, swap and / partition to make upgrades easier in future.
[15:12] <ActionParsnip> freedoms_stain: just have no partitions defined on the drive and its good to go
[15:12] <savid> Hi all. I'm having issues w/ nautilus and my dual monitor setup.  My left monitor is smaller than my right, and is aligned to the bottom.  The problem is when new icons appear on the desktop, they appear at the top-left of the entire virtual space and are, as a result, impossible to see.   Any ideas on this?
[15:13] <freedoms_stain> Thanks guys, One more thing, will I have to change the boot priorities in the BIOS to the Ubuntu drive to ensure I'm given the dual boot options by GRUB?
[15:13] <ushills> freedom_stain. home is where all you documents and settings reside / is for the OS.
[15:13] <ActionParsnip> freedoms_stain: grub will be managed for you and yo will be offered which system to boot from rub (grub can boot xp)
[15:13] <ushills> freedom_stains. Not a bad idea as the mbr on the windows drive will be retained.
[15:14] <Flukey> crappy strigi
[15:15] <freedoms_stain> ok guys, thanks a million, I've been trying out ubuntu live CD and despite the unfamiliar terminal stuff I love it, am infact using it now, I should have a full Ubuntu install on my box by this evening :)
[15:15] <ushills> freedom_stains. you will need a windows disk to restore the mbr on the windows drive if you install grub on it and decide to change. I always dual booted from bios because of this.
[15:15] <lex_> Can somebody help me or point me to a guide to install nvidia drivers for a 8200m card?
[15:15] <ActionParsnip> !nvidia | lex_
[15:16] <Azhi_Dahaka> k, added and starting gnome login
[15:16] <freedoms_stain> ok, cheers ushills
[15:16] <Ste1> Hi
[15:17] <Azhi_Dahaka> it worked
[15:17] <Azhi_Dahaka> but still, no audio
[15:17] <ushills> ste1. hello
[15:17] <Azhi_Dahaka> however seems like something from the gnome or gtk config was botched
[15:17] <ActionParsnip> Azhi_Dahaka: then run lspci to find out what soundcard you have the websearches must begin
[15:18] <IntuitiveNipple> Azhi_Dahaka: audio might be mostly unrelated; possibly pulseaudio needs configuring
[15:19] <Ste1> Hello ushills
[15:19] <Ste1> i've got ubuntu installed for 1 day now, and I installed a couple of apps
[15:19] <Ste1> But now I wanted to 'install' the msttcorefonts package containing true type fonts.
[15:19] <Ste1> and I type $sudo apt-get install msttcorefonts
[15:19] <Ste1> E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root?
[15:19] <Ste1> stefan@stefan-desktop:~$ ^C
[15:19] <ushills> Ste1. I am unfamiliar with this is it a ubuntu package.
[15:20] <Ste1> i don't know.
[15:20] <erry> hello is there a way to disable the drives sleeping
[15:20] <erry> cuz it like stands by and then it cant read the disk
[15:20] <[TiZ]> Hi. My startup seems to be really messed up. I have a script that runs some startup apps with alltray; it doesn't seem to run. Every time I start Evolution, it acts like it crashed. And compiz doesn't automatically start. I get an uncompositing metacity first (even though I enabled compositing in metacity). What could possibly be going on?
[15:20] <Azhi_Dahaka> ActionParsnip: IntuitiveNipple: Weird thing is that audio was working fine
[15:20] <Azhi_Dahaka> first, it stopped worked on firefox
[15:20] <diskin> Ste1, you must have another package anager running
[15:20] <ushills> ste1. try sudo apt-cache search msttcorefonts
[15:20] <sqawarlz> I'm having a problem resolving host names. I'm on a Windows network with a DNS server and on a Windows system I can resolve all the names correctly. I ran cat /etc/resolv.conf to confirm I am using the correct DNS but I can't resolve host names, help!
[15:20] <ActionParsnip> Ste1: do you have synaptic open or any other package manipulation program?
[15:21] <IntuitiveNipple> Ste1: ushills http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/msttcorefonts
[15:21] <Azhi_Dahaka> but, still worked fine with Totem... now, it's not working BUT at least Totem shouts an error
[15:21] <diskin> Ste1, exit synaptic or similar
[15:21] <Ste1> I only have 4 windows open
[15:21] <ushills> ste1. okay as said you must have synaptic open
[15:21] <Ste1> firefox, terminal, #ubuntu, pidgin
[15:21] <Ste1> oke
[15:21] <Ste1> will try the command
[15:22] <ushills> ste1. how about update manager, that needs to be closed.
[15:22] <erry> plz highlight me when ur thinkiung of answering my question
[15:22] <Azhi_Dahaka> ok, call me noob but... how can i copy some text from inside screen? :D
[15:22] <LimCore> haj
[15:22] <ActionParsnip> Ste1: basically you can only have 1 thing accessing the packages
[15:22] <Ste1> no manager is open.
[15:22] <ActionParsnip> Ste1: you could try
[15:22] <LimCore> does e230 modem G3 work well?
[15:22] <ActionParsnip> !fixapt
[15:22] <erry> Azhi_Dahaka, you select it and press ctrl c?
[15:23] <erry> oh wait
[15:23] <erry> im not sposed to answer
[15:23] <erry> now im gonan get kicked
[15:23] <erry> =/
[15:23] <IntuitiveNipple> Azhi_Dahaka: Well, start from the basics - check the hardware, look for log messages (/var/log/kern.log), research any special kernel module settings required, then look at " cat /proc/asound/cards" and " cat /proc/asound/devices"

[15:24] <Squawk> ActionParsnip, think you aimed that at someone else, but nslookup should use your dns server I think
[15:24] <cinimod25> can somone help me out
[15:24] <[TiZ]> Hi. My startup seems to be really messed up. I have a script that runs some startup apps with alltray; it doesn't seem to run. Every time I start Evolution, it acts like it crashed. And compiz doesn't automatically start. I get an uncompositing metacity first (even though I enabled compositing in metacity). What could possibly be going on?
[15:25] <Ste1> can i post the result of the command or is that flooding?
[15:25] <cinimod25> i have some questions about my pentium D and ubuntu 8.10 64bit not seeing my other processor
[15:25] <sqawarlz> Ste1 that would be flooding
[15:25] <ushills> ste1. that's flooding use pastebin
[15:25] <Ste1> pastebin is an irc feature?
[15:25] <ActionParsnip> slayton: what does nslookup say its using as a dns server?
[15:25] <cinimod25> hi sqawarlz can you help me
[15:25] <ActionParsnip> sqawarlz: sorry, you are right

[15:27] <cinimod25> i have a pentium D 915 and ubuntu 8.10 64 bit only see one processor  how do get it to display and use both processor for my dual core
[15:27] <slayton> ata1 is your hdd
[15:27] <slayton> the device isn't ready
[15:27] <slayton> sounds like a HDD problem to me
[15:27] <sqawarlz> ﻿I'm having a problem resolving host names. I'm on a Windows network with a DNS server and on a Windows system I can resolve all the names correctly. I ran cat /etc/resolv.conf to confirm I am using the correct DNS but I can't resolve host names, any ideas???
[15:27] <SM411> I have tried to enter with live cd without any hdds in my comp
[15:27] <SM411> get same error
[15:28] <[TiZ]> Hi. My startup seems to be really messed up. I have a script that runs some startup apps with alltray; it doesn't seem to run. Every time I start Evolution, it acts like it crashed.

[15:28] <ikonia> sqawarlz lots of windows domains won't allow you to use their dns servers unless your parto fthe domain
[15:28] <sqawarlz> clinimod25, you only have one cpu! Dual core is not dual cpu.
[15:28] <slayton> SM411, have you checked the live cd for errors?
[15:28] <slayton> it could be an error on the Cd
[15:28] <ActionParsnip> !startup | [TiZ]
[15:28] <cinimod25> i have a dual core 2 cpu's
[15:28] <ushills> ste1. now try sudo apt-get update then sudo apt-get install msttfonts
[15:28] <[TiZ]> ...
[15:28] <sqawarlz> ikonia, my dns server does! I am the admin.... it is something with this computer!
[15:28] <ActionParsnip> [TiZ]: id review what you have with relation to that
[15:28] <cinimod25> two cpus on a die
[15:28] <SM411> Yes, and i have tried 4other, all different versions. And they work in other computers
[15:29] <urbands> tTjZ
[15:29] <cinimod25> the preston pentium D
[15:29] <sqawarlz> clinimod, you physically have two cpus? what mobo do you have?
[15:29] <[TiZ]> Everything looks fine in my sessions.
[15:29] <cinimod25> 2.8ghz
[15:29] <SM411> I started to get the error when i changed my motherboard
[15:29] <[TiZ]> Maybe I just need to reinstall. Again.
[15:29] <cinimod25> yes it's a dual core
[15:29] <cinimod25> what' a mobo?
[15:29] <Ste1> same error
[15:29] <AdvoWork> any ideas if i can install java, jre? from ubuntu terminal with aptitude? cant do it
[15:29] <Ste1> E: Kon het vergrendelingsbestand '/var/lib/dpkg/lock' niet openen - open (13 Toegang geweigerd)
[15:29] <Ste1> E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root?
[15:29] <ActionParsnip> Ste1: wassup?
[15:29] <Ste1> i'm fine :o
[15:29] <ActionParsnip> Ste1: did the command not sort you out?
[15:29] <Azhi_Dahaka> mobo = motherboard
[15:29] <[TiZ]> AdvoWork, sudo aptitude install java-6-openjdk
[15:30] <Azhi_Dahaka> mobo = motherboard, cinimod25
[15:30] <cinimod25> nvidia n18 sli
[15:30] <sqawarlz> clinimod, your mistaken. dual core is NOT two physical cpus, that just means your single cpu has two cores. it will only show up as one cpu!
[15:30] <urbands> turn off your script
[15:30] <Ste1> i tried the command and pasted the result as a pastebin
[15:30] <[TiZ]> Or, if you want to use Sun Java, sudo aptitude install java-6-sun
[15:30] <ushills> ste1. can you do this through synaptic manager
[15:30] <IntuitiveNipple> SM411: There are known issues where a lot of concurrent disk access causes the port to slow down its responses, resulting in time-outs, leading to soft resets
[15:30] <Ste1> ok
[15:30] <cinimod25> ﻿sqawarlz really?
[15:31] <sqawarlz> clinimod25, ﻿nvidia n18 sli only has one CPU slot. you only have one cpu.
[15:31] <cinimod25> ﻿sqawarlz im mistaken i ment dual core not 2 physical cpus
[15:31] <cinimod25> i have dual cores
[15:31] <SM411> I have been using ubuntu at these disks earlyer
[15:31] <AdvoWork> [TiZ] saying cant find any packages that match?
[15:31] <AdvoWork> either
[15:31] <cinimod25> ﻿sqawarlz i thought having a dual core is like having 2 cpus?
[15:31] <ActionParsnip> cinimod25: yes its a dual core cpu
[15:31] <[TiZ]> AdvoWork, I gave you the wrong package name. sudo aptitude install sun-java6-jdk
[15:31] <IntuitiveNipple> cinimod25: does this command report two processors? grep processor /proc/cpuinfo
[15:31] <SM411> And when i disconect all the disks, and try to boot form live cd, that should work?
[15:31] <sqawarlz> clinimod, let me explain again... dual core cpu has two cores but it is actually one cpu so it will only show up as ONE cpu.
[15:32] <JuJuBee> Can someone tell me where I look to see why nis is not starting at boot (only on 2 of 14 computers)?
[15:32] <cinimod25> in my bios it shows up as 2 cpus running at 2.8ghz
[15:32] <urbands> Q
[15:32] <Ste1> it seems that java was installing aswell but synaptic said it was broken.
[15:32] <IntuitiveNipple> sqawarlz: Totally incorrect. dual-cores is TWO CPUs and Linux will report both
[15:32] <urbands> !dualcore
[15:32] <ActionParsnip> JuJuBee: dmesg and your system logs
[15:32] <sqawarlz> clinimod, think of it this way. a core on a cpu is like work bench. you have to benches on your cpu for the cpu to work.
[15:32] <ActionParsnip> IntuitiveNipple: its not. he has bought a single cpu
[15:33] <JuJuBee> Thanks, I will look.  I was thinking maybe it is not set to start for some reason though...
[15:33] <cinimod25> so a dual core, and a quad core is not really 2 cpu's?
[15:33] <ushills> ste1. sounds like synaptic has got hung, you need to remove the lock.  Does it work now?
[15:33] <Jeruvy> IntuitiveNipple: incorrect, two cores is ONE CPU, two CPU's is two cpus.
[15:33] <cinimod25> sorry a dual is not realy 2 cup's an d aquad is not 4?
[15:33] <IntuitiveNipple> ActionParsnip: the system will report and use two CPUs
[15:33] <sqawarlz> IntuitiveNipple, this is news to me. I've never seen a dual core cpu should up as two cpus in any system, ever aside from enterprise linux.
[15:34] <Thorndrake> General question, when I press the keys <CTRL>+<ALT>+<F1> then I only get a blank screen no terminal... I'm currently using Hardy. Also if my screen goes blank after a while because of the screen saver I have to press <CTRL>+<ALT>+<F1> and then <CTRL>+<ALT>+<F7> to get my screen back....
[15:34] <cinimod25> when i had a hyper thread cpu it showed up as 2 cpus in ubuntu
[15:34] <sqawarlz> ﻿'m having a problem resolving host names. I'm on a Windows network with a DNS server and on a Windows system I can resolve all the names correctly. I ran cat /etc/resolv.conf to confirm I am using the correct DNS but I can't resolve host names
[15:34] <ushills> Ste1. if it is not working do this.
[15:34] <cinimod25> but when i actually have a dual core it only show's up as one cpu
[15:34] <ActionParsnip> cinimod25: IntuitiveNipple: cat /proc/cpuinfo
[15:34] <Ste1> yes, it prompted a java dialog all seems to be ok now.
[15:34] <Ste1> thanks for the help
[15:35] <FFFFFFFFFFFFFFF> Does anyone here know how to add tracks to a xmms2 playlist?
[15:35] <Jeruvy> sqawarlz: can you communicate with your DNS server from the affected box?
[15:35] <erUSUL> cinimod25: what kernel are you using? generic? or i386?
[15:35] <ushills> ste1. Cool the alternative was 'sudo rm /var/lib/dpkg/lock'
[15:35] <ActionParsnip> FFFFFFFFFFFFFFF: you can output them to a .m3u text file in ordinary text
[15:36] <Ste1> ok, thanks for your help.
[15:36] <sqawarlz> jeruvy, yes. I can NSlookup to it but I receive error ** server can't find computer22: SERVFAIL
[15:36] <JuJuBee> ActionParsnip : nothing in dmesg regarding nis and I don't see it in the logs.  I am thinking a startup script has it disabled, but don't know which to look at.
[15:36] <ActionParsnip> FFFFFFFFFFFFFFF: if you have a folder full of mp3s and want a playlist for them all you can run: ls *.mp3 > playlist.m3u
[15:36] <IntuitiveNipple> sqawarlz: Intel T7200 Core2Duo: http://pastebin.intuitivenipple.net/119
[15:36] <FFFFFFFFFFFFFFF> They're ogg files
[15:36] <Jeruvy> sqawarlz: no don't nslookup, try ping.
[15:36] <sqawarlz> jeruvy, from a Windows box it works fine. What confuses me is my on site DNS server is setup to allow anything from the subnet that I am on.
[15:37] <ActionParsnip> IntuitiveNipple: read lines 36 and 25
[15:37] <cinimod25> ﻿sqawarlz i'm still confused, a pentium 4 with hyperthreading woudl show 2 cpu's but a dual core only show's one?  How is that?
[15:37] <ActionParsnip> ahhh, you are right IntuitiveNipple
[15:37] <sqawarlz> jerucy, cannot find, unknown host
[15:38] <ActionParsnip> linux sees 2 processors but physically it is one wafer
[15:38] <[TiZ]> Guess I'll just have to reinstall ubuntu later today
[15:38] <sqawarlz> IntuitiveNipple, this is news to me. I was under the impression that only Enterprise Linux offered such support so you could fine tune the cores.
[15:38] <turbob_> kann kein English.
[15:38] <IntuitiveNipple> ActionParsnip: dual-core is two CPUs sharing the same silicon, sharing some interconnects and so forth, but they are SMPs
[15:38] <cinimod25> ActionParsnip that i undersand
[15:38] <Slart> !de | turbob_
[15:38] <FFFFFFFFFFFFFFF> Is there a better lightweight audio player than xmms2 that has systray support?
[15:38] <mike_the_joker> I agree ... two CPUs in one chip
[15:38] <coleosis> I think my MacBook runs Ubuntu better than it runs OS X :O
[15:38] <Slart> FFFFFFFFFFFFFFF: tried audacious?
[15:38] <FFFFFFFFFFFFFFF> Because no way is xmms2 ready
[15:38] <cinimod25> and your implying that of a hyperthreated chip right?
[15:39] <IntuitiveNipple> sqawarlz: No, I've been running dual-CPUs and dual-cores for a long time, hard to tell them apart, and dual-cores generally run faster than the dual-CPU counterparts
[15:39] <CShadowRun> i found audacious to suck and the support team to be rude.
[15:39] <cinimod25> i know it's one wafer, one chip but 2 cores, shouldn't that show up as 2 cpu's in your os?
[15:39] <CShadowRun> FFFFFFFFFFFFFFF maybe you can do it with exaile, i don't know.
[15:39] <Slart> cinimod25: it does on my computer
[15:39] <aoupi> how do I troubleshoot X errors? (mouse and keyboard not working after dist-upgrade, worked before (8.10, but I just want to know how to troubleshoot :) )
[15:39] <cinimod25> Slart
[15:39] <erUSUL> cinimod25: yes it should show two cpus again what kernel are you using??
[15:39] <FFFFFFFFFFFFFFF> You should try getting any help on the xmms2 channel ShadowRun
[15:39] <sqawarlz> IntuitiveNipple, right but that is becuase of several factors such as cache, fsb, and the over all pipeline which is then factored by the north bridge.
[15:39] <cinimod25> i'm using the generic kernal i believe
[15:40] <cinimod25> erUSUL
[15:40] <slayton> I'm having problems getting my intel audio working, does anybody know what I can do?
[15:40] <Slart> cinimod25: what does uname -a print?
[15:40] <FFFFFFFFFFFFFFF> After that you'll believe the audacious crowd are teh friendliest, most helpful people on the planet
[15:40] <erUSUL> cinimod25: uname -a
[15:40] <IntuitiveNipple> cinimod25: Did you do that report I suggested ( grep processor /proc/cpuinfo) ? If that only reports one CPU and you've got a core(2) duo, you might be running a non-SMP kernel
[15:40] <sqawarlz> Still can't resolve host names on a Windows network from my Ubuntu Box that has the correct DNS server!
[15:40] <cinimod25> erUSUL Linux ghost 2.6.24-19-generic #1 SMP Wed Aug 20 17:53:40 UTC 2008 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[15:40] <FFFFFFFFFFFFFFF> I wish alsaplayer did a systray icon :(
[15:40] <Jeruvy> sqawarlz: are you using a IP address to check!
[15:40] <erUSUL> cinimod25: cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep processor | wc -l
[15:41] <cinimod25> erUSUL i have a Pentium D
[15:41] <IntuitiveNipple> sqawarlz: what does dig <name> @dns.ip do?
[15:41] <Slart> sqawarlz: you might want to look into nmdb in samba.. I think windows networks use that for name resolution too
[15:41] <ushills> sqawarlz. can you try the opendns server in you resolv.conf file
[15:41] <filipegarcia> Does anyone can help me calibrate a touchscreen??
[15:41] <cinimod25> 1
[15:41] <IntuitiveNipple> sqawarlz: Is it SMB name resolution, or DNS, that fails?
[15:41] <Slart> sqawarlz: if we're talking resolving internal network names.. not regular internet addresses
[15:41] <FFFFFFFFFFFFFFF> Anyone here K Mandla?
[15:41] <ActionParsnip> FFFFFFFFFFFFFFF: amarok is ok, or mplayer
[15:41] <cinimod25> erULSUL it says 1
[15:42] <sqawarlz> jeruvy, my entire network is configured through DHCP so I can ping by IP, and I can connect via IP but other than the servers the IPs change for host names on this network so I can't exactly do that but yes. One host name I cannot resolve if I check and find the IP I can ping it, I just can't resolve it by name!
[15:42] <erUSUL> cinimod25: are you using any boot option for your kernel ? like noapic or something like that??
[15:42] <GleepGlop> how do i send a message to someone on the same machine but using a different console TTY?
[15:42] <FFFFFFFFFFFFFFF> Too big. I just want something small and simple
[15:42] <cinimod25> i dont believe so
[15:42] <Azhi_Dahaka> is there a way to start a terminal as another user?
[15:42] <IntuitiveNipple> cinimod25: What does this report? uname -a
[15:42] <FFFFFFFFFFFFFFF> Bit not terminal
[15:42] <ActionParsnip> FFFFFFFFFFFFFFF: aplay is small
[15:42] <GleepGlop> Azhi: su - otheruser
[15:42] <FFFFFFFFFFFFFFF> Is that alsaplayer?
[15:42] <erUSUL> cinimod25: also posting the output of "dmesg" and "cat /proc/cpuinfo" onto pastebin would be helpfull
[15:42] <Slart> GleepGlop: take a look at "wall"
[15:42] <GleepGlop> Slart: ok, cool, thanks
[15:43] <ushills> sqawarlz. I had this problem with ubuntu, worked when I moved to static ips and set the hosts on each machine.
[15:43] <ActionParsnip> FFFFFFFFFFFFFFF: exaile
[15:43] <Jeruvy> sqawarlz: ok, so your DNS is 'auto-configing' via DHCP, is that a correct assumption?
[15:43] <sqawarlz> IntuitiveNipple, Ushills, In resolv.conf I have the correct DNS server listed. I fail to lookup names. I'm not trying to do SMB or netbios resolution I'm under the assumption this will ask my dns server where computerxx is and reply an IP like it would on windows.
[15:43] <slayton> FFFFFFFFFFFFFFF, can I ask you to change your name, its quite annoying
[15:44] <sqawarlz> ushills, I manage a network with 5,000 systems and 4,000 of them are on dhcp, so that isn't possible.
[15:44] <IntuitiveNipple> sqawarlz: But can dig @dns.ip resolve names? that will at least prove some DNS is possible on the Ubuntu host
[15:44] <erUSUL> !pastebin | cinimod25
[15:44] <sqawarlz> jeruvy, yes
[15:44] <ActionParsnip> slayton: why is it annoying. Its really easy to target
[15:45] <ActionParsnip> type a few f's then hit tab
[15:45] <sqawarlz> IntuitiveNipple, I am unfimiliar with the Dig command, how do I use that. Like dig hostname@dns.ip? and expect an IP reply?
[15:45] <ushills> sqawarlz. sorry, can't help, I could not get my server to resolve names correctly
[15:45] <Jeruvy> sqawarlz: have you tried clearing your DNS cache?
[15:45] <FFFFFFFFFFFFFFF> Who knows tint?
[15:45] <Azhi_Dahaka> Hhmm... i opened it, but i can't attach my screen session into that terminal
[15:45] <slayton> ActionParsnip, because it serves as a visual cue, everytime FFFFFFFFFFFFFFF  shows up it grabs your attention
[15:45] <craigbass1976> ikonia, you still there?  I keep getting phone calls and what you've said earlier has scolled out of site.  Latest testing... I created a user account on two other xp boxes (same username as owner of app data folder I'm trying to share on xp server box) and get permission denied error when trying to copy a file.  I guess I should get in the #xp room and see what they say
[15:45] <IntuitiveNipple> sqawarlz: As I said earlier: dig <name> @dns.ip
[15:46] <Azhi_Dahaka> seems like /dev/pts/0 belongs to a different user
[15:46] <sqawarlz> jeruvy, on windows I would ipconfig /flushdns, how would I flush my dns cache on linux?
[15:46] <ikonia> craigbass1976 still here, give me two minutes and I'll chat to you
[15:46] <slayton> ActionParsnip, most names are easy to type and good IRC client will color messages specified for you so the long big salient name is uneeeded
[15:46] <ActionParsnip> slayton: i think its funny
[15:46] <Azhi_Dahaka> haha
[15:46] <ActionParsnip> but im off to eat no so blah
[15:46] <coleosis> Someone please tell me there is still a way for my to put music on my ipod :(
[15:46] <Azhi_Dahaka> i can't believe that chown the terminal worked!
[15:47] <slayton> it only serves to grab other's attention... I think its funny too but its kinda rude
[15:47] <slayton> coleosis, what kind of ipod?
[15:47] <Azhi_Dahaka> ok... so, Back on gnome with the sound issue
[15:47] <Jeruvy> sqawarlz: ifconfig flush dns
[15:47] <slayton> coleosis, have you tried rebiuld_db.py?
[15:47] <ActionParsnip> btw all yous guys should read matthew 10:13 in the bible
[15:47] <Azhi_Dahaka> IntuitiveNipple: can you give me once again the link_
[15:47] <Azhi_Dahaka> ?
[15:47] <coleosis> slayton: Touch
[15:47] <sqawarlz> IntuitiveNipple, when I try "dig hostname @dns.ip" it returns no such file or directoy.
[15:47] <Slart> coleosis: I think newer ipods might be troublesome.. try !ipod
[15:47] <coleosis> Thank you
[15:47] <coleosis> !ipod
[15:48] <slayton> coleosis, have you tried the rebuild_db.py script?
[15:48] <ikonia> craigbass1976: ok, chat to me
[15:48] <coleosis> slayton: not yet
[15:48] <sqawarlz> jeruvy, ifconfig flush dns dns: Unknown host ifconfig: `--help' gives usage information.
[15:49] <mlLK> has anyone else mysteriously lost the ability to open files w/ gedit as sudo from the terminal?
[15:49] <ikonia> sqawarlz: thats not a valid option
[15:49] <hoonteke> anyone have links to current desktop market statistics?
[15:49] <ikonia> sqawarlz: thats windows stuff
[15:49] <Jeruvy> sqawarlz: man ifconfig
[15:49] <coleosis> According to this, I am going to need to jailbreak it :(
[15:49] <hoonteke> my google fu is no good right now, apparently
[15:49] <slayton> its on source forge. I know it works for the shuffle and I'm guessing the ipod database is the same from model to model so you should give it a try. It lets you manage your music with Nautilus and then you run the script and the database is contsructed for you
[15:50] <mlLK> hoonteke, no but i got a good list: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_statistical_packages ;)
[15:50] <slayton> coleosis, you probably will
[15:50] <coleosis> slayton: thanks for the tip =]

[15:50] <W9ZEB> anyone have a link that discusses syncing a Nokia 6708 with Ubuntu?
[15:50] <sqawarlz> jeruvy, man ifconfig to do what?
[15:50] <baldur_> Hi can anyone help me with my flash player in fire fox ??? It has a tendency to crash and it doesnt play sound
[15:50] <mlLK> hoonteke, spss and minitab are pretty cool to
[15:50] <IntuitiveNipple> sqawarlz: Here's an example: dig +short cnn.com @10.254.251.1
[15:50] <cinimod25> in my bios it shows up at 2 cpu's
[15:50] <TheGame> baldur_, which distro?
[15:51] <ruif13> hi how to reset the gnome settings?
[15:51] <IntuitiveNipple> sqawarlz: replace @10.254.251.1 with your network's DNS server IP
[15:51] <hoonteke> mlLK: hehe, I mispoke myself: I mean marketshare of ubuntu desktop, as compared to windows, osx, etc.
[15:51] <TheGame> baldur_, which version of firefox and which version of flash aswell
[15:51] <slayton> Anybody know how to get Intel HD Audio working under Hardy?
[15:51] <Azhi_Dahaka> IntuitiveNipple: can you give me once again the link for the audio configuration?
[15:51] <mlLK> hoonteke, marketshare?
[15:51] <mlLK> hoonteke, like proprietary?
[15:52] <IntuitiveNipple> Azhi_Dahaka: I used this guide to get perfect pulseaudio configuration: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=789578
[15:52] <IntuitiveNipple> cinimod25: What does this report? uname -a
[15:52] <Azhi_Dahaka> thx, IntuitiveNipple
[15:52] <IntuitiveNipple> cinimod25: That pastebin output shows only one CPU found
[15:52] <baldur_> TheGame:  ubuntu8.04 lts -- and flash player 10 and firefox 3
[15:52] <IntuitiveNipple> cinimod25: But, it misses the initial messages that report the kernel version
[15:52] <mlLK> hoonteke, like you wanna pay money for something that is free?
[15:52] <hoonteke> mlLK: no, like how much of the desktop operating system market does ubuntu have?  like how many people use it
[15:53] <sqawarlz> IntuitiveNipple when I run dig +short HOSTNAME @IPREMOVED it gave me no reply. When I ran the same thing without the +short it gave me output but it didn't list an IP.
[15:53] <ikonia> !offtopic
[15:53] <TheGame> baldur_, by any chance does firefox crash if you close the last tab playing flash?
[15:53] <mlLK> hoonteke, oh hands down #1 , see distrowatch.org
[15:53] <slayton> !flash
[15:53] <IntuitiveNipple> sqawarlz: That means there's a problem with the DNS server, and/or a firewall
[15:53] <hoonteke> mlLK: hehe, no again, I mean in the whole world, not just the linux distro world.
[15:53] <slayton> !gnash
[15:53] <mlLK> hoonteke, ohhhh
[15:53] <hoonteke> mlLK: I think I just found a link: http://digg.com/linux_unix/GNU_Linux_Desktop_Market_Share_is_4_Gartner
[15:53] <ikonia> hoonteke: mlLK can we take it to #ubuntu-offtopic please
[15:54] <cereal> hola
[15:54] <baldur_> TheGame:  No it seams to crash when there is alot going on... but alot of the time it just gives me white screen on what i'm doing and then on that all it doesnt play sound
[15:54] <lex_> I'm following a guide posted at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NvidiaManual - my xorg.conf file does not have a section for "Module", would I need to add it or is something terribly wrong?
[15:54] <cinimod25> IntuitiveNipple so what does that mean?
[15:54] <baldur_> TheGame: and it lags :P
[15:54] <hoonteke> ikonia: uh, this is sorta on topic, talking about ubuntu marketshare.  but no matter, I've found for what I was looking.
[15:54] <TheGame> Has anyone been successful with USB2.0 drives in hardy?? I'm getting https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/hardy/+source/linux/+bug/88746
[15:54] <cereal> alguien habla español
[15:54] <ikonia> hoonteke: - its not on topic at all
[15:54] <Azhi_Dahaka> !sp
[15:54] <IntuitiveNipple> cinimod25: show me what that command reports and we might get somewhere: uname -a
[15:55] <Azhi_Dahaka> !es
[15:55] <sqawarlz> IntuitiveNipple, was I wrong for putting the +short in the command? How do I get to the LinuxFirewall? It has to be this machine, I didnt configure the firewall yet, and I have no idea how to.
[15:55] <hoonteke> ikonia: not gonna start a fight. whatevs.
[15:55] <TheGame> baldur_, that's not exactly the same problems I was having, all my flash crashing problems were solved magically when I upgraded my RAM
[15:55] <Azhi_Dahaka> !es | cereal
[15:55] <cereal> thank
[15:56] <FFFFFFFFFFFFFFF> I can see why no one uses aptitude
[15:56] <TheGame> baldur_, I suggest trying a different flash lib, there are a few around I believe
[15:56] <baldur_> TheGame:  hehe well my comp should be abel to handle all this hardware wize
[15:57] <baldur_> TheGame: what do you mean by diffirent flash lib ?
[15:57] <IntuitiveNipple> sqawarlz: By default Ubuntu doesn't need much in the way of a firewall. Hardy has ufw but there'll be nothing there causing an issue.
[15:57] <Teisei> How do I disable the beep that plays when I press backspace in empty terminal for example ?
[15:57] <Teisei> The beep is annoyingly loud and unnecessary
[15:57] <Azhi_Dahaka> IntuitiveNipple: hmm, i don't get how that guide helps me find out why my sound is gone :S
[15:57] <TheGame> baldur_, I'll pm you
[15:57] <cinimod25> IntuitiveNipple  http://paste.ubuntu.com/56013/
[15:58] <anders__> sudo modprobe -r pcspkr (as far as i remember) Teisei, you should blacklist the module if you want it permanently gone
[15:58] <ushills> teisei. google hardwarebeep
[15:58] <joakim> ikonia, Im back, still same problem
[15:58] <Teisei> Ok, thank you
[15:58] <abhishek> hi all
[15:58] <Teisei> I will see what I can do lol
[15:58] <IntuitiveNipple> sqawarlz: Using dig, the query is sent directly to port 53 of the DNS server. If there is no response from the server, then its a firewall at the DNS end, if there's a response but it is empty (no value in the ANSWER) then the DNS server isn't handling the domain you're querying.
[15:58] <joakim> ubuntu+1
[15:58] <abhishek>  Does any one know how to boot an iso file through grub to install linux
[15:58] <sqawarlz> IntuitiveNipple, there is no firewall between me and my DNS server. My DNS server is configure to allow all computer on this subnet to query it directly. It works on every system mac, linux, and windows except this installation of ubunutu. Normally we use red hat, this the first time installing it at work, so I'm not sure what the problem is but i find it very likely to be this computer.
[15:58] <anders__> Teisei, you can add the module to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
[15:59] <ShaneSveller> does anyone have any advice for making an installed copy of ubuntu server boot into a ramdisk? can i mess with the casper package or something else to accomplish this?
[15:59] <Teisei> anders__: Isn't there a way to remove the beep itself without removing the pcspkr module ?
[15:59] <anders__> not that i know of Teisei, but there probably is
[15:59] <sqawarlz> IntuitiveNipple I did receive a response, it just didnt include an IP.
[15:59] <anders__> i never need the pcspeaker for anything, so disabling it was a natural choice for me
[15:59] <ShaneSveller> i.e. I want to do something similar to what many livecds offer and copy the entire root partition into ramdisk
[15:59] <IntuitiveNipple> sqawarlz: I'd run tcpdump/wireshark and sniff the network, see what is going where etc
[15:59] <Teisei> anders__: I thought there was a checkbox for the beep or something
[15:59] <legend2440> Teisei: open terminal  edit>current profile>General tab>  uncheck Terminal Bell
[15:59] <IntuitiveNipple> sqawarlz: If there's a response, then the DNS server is answering and not giving a value
[16:00] <abhishek>  Does anyone know how to boot an .iso cd image file through grub to install linux
[16:00] <Teisei> legend2440: I try that one, thanks :)
[16:00] <IntuitiveNipple> sqawarlz: Are you using a FQDN in the  query?
[16:00]  * abhishek thinks no one knows
[16:01] <anders__> Teisei, open a terminal (if you use the gnome terminal), right click and select edit current profile, then uncheck the "Terminal Bell" option

[16:01] <Fruq> Any idea how to reduce default installation mysql ram usage on ubuntu? It's currently eating 100mb ram :S
[16:02] <sqawarlz> IntuitiveNipple, I stand corrected using dig FQDN @DNSIP works!
[16:02] <ShaneSveller> Fruq: lots of settings in /etc/mysql/my.cnf can help with that
[16:02] <Teisei> legend2440: Ok that worked, thanks
[16:02] <sqawarlz> I thought it would fill in the default domain!
[16:02] <Killeroid> hi, can anyone tell me how to make sure a module and its dependency loads up when i start my pc. its a module for a wireless card
[16:02] <TheGame> Anyone have any success getting usb2.0 drives to work on ubuntu?
[16:02] <Fruq> ShaneSveller, thanks ill look in to it
[16:02] <ShaneSveller> Fruq: http://www.mysqlperformanceblog.com/2006/09/29/what-to-tune-in-mysql-server-after-installation/
[16:03] <IntuitiveNipple> sqawarlz: aha! yeah, ok, then you will also need to ensure that the Windows DHCP sends out the domain.name in the LEASE, so that Linux adds that to the /etc/resolv.conf file too. It sounds like that may be the issue.
[16:03] <ShaneSveller> TheGame: mine "just worked"
[16:03] <coleosis> Is there a reason I can't get my ATi card to display my monitors native 1600x1050 resoultion even though the card can handle it?
[16:03] <JuJuBee> Mine too
[16:03] <ShaneSveller> TheGame: i have a usb2 external harddrive and a usb2 internal cardreader that plugs into mobo
[16:03] <sqawarlz> IntuitiveNipple, ok but why can't I still ping via FQDN?
[16:03] <IntuitiveNipple> cinimod25: I've seen the pastebin output - but I'm still waiting to see the result of you running: "uname -a"  - did I miss it?
[16:03] <coleosis> I can select the option, but when I do the entire screen isn't being used.
[16:04] <genii> Fruq: Some good suggestions here http://www.directadmin.com/forum/showthread.php?threadid=132
[16:04] <IntuitiveNipple> sqawarlz: That's a good question... I've seen those issues when the FQDN the client specifies is combined with the 'search' domains in /etc/resolv.conf so it ends up trying something like "host.domain.com.domain.com" :)
[16:05] <IntuitiveNipple> sqawarlz: for example, here's the DHCP-supplied values in /etc/resolv.conf for my LAN:
[16:05] <IntuitiveNipple> domain lan.tjworld.net
[16:05] <IntuitiveNipple> search lan.tjworld.net
[16:05] <IntuitiveNipple> nameserver 10.254.251.1
[16:05] <FloodBot2> IntuitiveNipple: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[16:05] <TheGame> ShaneSveller, are you using ehci_hcd? I'm getting https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/hardy/+source/linux/+bug/88746
[16:05] <Kl4m> USN-651-1: "[...] If a user or automated system were tricked into running a malicious script, an attacker could [...] possibly execute arbitrary code [...]" nice truism
[16:06] <sqawarlz> IntuitiveNipple, did you set your domain and search domain manually or did your dns supply it? I'm using a Windows Domain so it is Windows DNS as well.
[16:06] <IntuitiveNipple> sqawarlz: No, that's from DHCP. When I used to manage Windows DHCP I would add a DHCP record for 'domain' especially
[16:08] <IntuitiveNipple> sqawarlz: It can be configured as SCOPE options, or easier via the Windows wizard, as "parent domain"
[16:08] <ShaneSveller> TheGame: i'm afraid I don't remember for the external, but the machine with the cardreader currently has ehci_hcd/ohci_hcd loaded, yes
[16:08] <sqawarlz> IntuitiveNipple, you simply mean you are supply the domain through DHCP? You remember by any chance what scope option it is? I'm just confused because all of our systems are WIndows aside from a handful of mac and linux systems which can query without problem so I don't want to hand out domain.com through DHCP and find out it will cause a problemw ith my systems already in place.
[16:08] <TheGame> Thanks ShaneSveller, which kernel ver?
[16:09] <FFFFFFFFFFFFFFF> does anyone know how to change the task font on pypanel?
[16:09] <sqawarlz> IntuitiveNipple, I'm not sure what you mean parent domain, my network is a AD domain, which is the parent domain.
[16:09] <ShaneSveller> TheGame: 2.6.24-19-server
[16:09] <IntuitiveNipple> sqawarlz: It's a long time ago (well, couple of years now!) - I don't remember the specifics
[16:09] <FFFFFFFFFFFFFFF> Let's say, for example, I want to use urw gothic bold 12
[16:10] <sqawarlz> ItuitiveNipple, thanks I understand. I think I have enough to get me moving on this issue. I can problably figure it out.
[16:10] <FFFFFFFFFFFFFFF> I'd uncomment the damned line
[16:10] <sqawarlz> IntuitiveNipple, thanks man.
[16:10] <IntuitiveNipple> sqawarlz: In the DHCP Server, scope setup part of the wizard, there's a 'page' that wants the "parent domain" (the non-host part of the FQDN)
[16:10] <vegombrei> hi ... does anyone know how i can format an external usb hdd to fat 32 ? i tried formatting an external seagate freeagent go drive and it just wont happen
[16:10] <chad> how do i stop the add/remove programs....seems to be stuck on installing x chat....but xchat seems to working fine
[16:10] <erUSUL> vegombrei: use gparted
[16:10] <sqawarlz> IntuitiveNipple, yeah I'm looking for it now, but I believe it should be automatically set to my domain already.
[16:10] <IntuitiveNipple> sqawarlz: This might give you a clue http://www.computerperformance.co.uk/w2k3/services/DHCP_Configure.htm#Scope%20Options.
[16:11] <ShaneSveller> vegombrei: I use a combination of mkfs.vfat and fdisk
[16:11] <IntuitiveNipple> sqawarlz: Yes, but this is why I recommend using tcpdump or wireshark - you can check exactly what Windows puts on the wire.
[16:11] <chad> nevermind..
[16:11] <sqawarlz> IntuitiveNipple thanks
[16:11] <vegombrei> ShaneSveller: but have you successfully formatted an extenal usb drive ?
[16:12] <IntuitiveNipple> sqawarlz: On that page, I think "Domain Name (015)" is possibly the one I'm thinking about that I used in the past
[16:12] <vegombrei> erUSUL: the thing is i need it to work on my mac too
[16:12] <vegombrei> mac cant write to ntfs
[16:12] <Azhi_Dahaka> Hmm... apt-get kicks Synaptic's rear in cpu and memory usage
[16:12] <erUSUL> vegombrei:  use hfs ??
[16:12] <ShaneSveller> vegombrei: yeah
[16:13] <erUSUL> vegombrei: linux supports it afaik
[16:13] <vegombrei> Azhi_Dahaka: how he tells me hehehe
[16:13] <ShaneSveller> fat32 works fine on osx, I use it daily
[16:13] <vegombrei> erUSUL: hfs ?
[16:13] <badserii> Did someone try to install pwc on ubuntu hardy? I'm reading this tutorial: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam but can't find pwc.ko in my source directory
[16:13] <Azhi_Dahaka> vegombrei: OSX default fs
[16:14] <ShaneSveller> technically the osx default is hfs+ which is slightly different from hfs
[16:14] <IntuitiveNipple> badserii: Check if the module is already installed: modinfo pwc
[16:14] <ShaneSveller> like the diff between ext2 and ext3
[16:14] <erUSUL> vegombrei: hfs and hfs+ are the apple filesystems
[16:14] <badserii> IntuitiveNipple: thanks
[16:14] <ShaneSveller> journaling and some other things
[16:15] <cereal> how to configure Djhon
[16:15] <erUSUL> vegombrei: but fat32 is a safe choice too and works in windows too
[16:16] <vegombrei> you see i have 2 computers .... one mac and at home ubuntu ... the external drive works just fine with ubuntu .. thing is since its ntfs i cant write on it when connected to mac .. i read up on forums on the seagate freeagent site .. it seems lot of people have had similar problems but noone in the forum used ubuntu ... thats why i thoght mebbe someone here had successfully formatted an external drive to fat32 or something both mac and ub
[16:17] <ShaneSveller> vegombrei: either OS can format the external to FAT32 pretty easily, try gparted on Ubuntu or Disk Utility on OSX
[16:17] <erUSUL> vegombrei: as i said the easiset way to reformat the drive is to use gparted (System>Admin>Partition Editor)
[16:17] <erUSUL> vegombrei: just select the disk and then select the partition right click format and then apply changes
[16:18] <erUSUL> vegombrei: note that the disk must be umounted
[16:18] <vegombrei> ok then .. i shall try that and come back with the conclusion ... thanks ya guys
[16:19] <vegombrei> oh ok
[16:19] <vegombrei> erUSUL: its a usb drive ... if i unmount it will gparted find it ?
[16:19] <erUSUL> vegombrei: yep if it is plugged
[16:20] <Azhi_Dahaka> Hmm, tinkering around with Sound Settingsand i got and error message stating that the device is un use
[16:20] <ShaneSveller> though you might have one that powers down after being unmounted
[16:20] <Azhi_Dahaka> how can i find which app is using it?
[16:21] <erUSUL> Azhi_Dahaka: "sudo fuser /dev/snd/*"
[16:22] <TheGame> I'm currently using 2.6.24-19-generic, is there anything later than this available? Even if it's still in testing? And how do I get it?
[16:23] <ShaneSveller> TheGame: you could also build one from the git repo
[16:23] <TheGame> git repo?
[16:23] <ShaneSveller> http://www.kernel.org/ current stable is 2.6.27
[16:23] <Azhi_Dahaka> erUSUL: it should be empty?
[16:24] <ShaneSveller> TheGame: see also http://linux.yyz.us/git-howto.html
[16:24] <blice_> .
[16:24] <erUSUL> TheGame: upgrade to 8.10 that has 2.6.27
[16:25] <TheGame> Description:	Ubuntu 8.04.1
[16:25] <TheGame> @ erUSUL ?
[16:25] <erUSUL> Azhi_Dahaka: no if someone is using the devices it should list something like this
[16:25] <erUSUL> Azhi_Dahaka: /dev/snd/controlC0:   6907  7123 \n /dev/snd/pcmC0D0p:    6907m \n  (that's my tw line output)
[16:26] <erUSUL> Azhi_Dahaka: basically is pulseaudio (PID 6907) and the gnome mixer (PID 7123)
[16:28] <tipytch> ?
[16:29] <perlsyntax_> When i install emacs why do i get a emacs gtk and a emacs client for?
[16:29] <bruenig> perlsyntax_: this is ubuntu
[16:29] <Azhi_Dahaka> hmm...
[16:29] <bruenig> perlsyntax_: that's par for the course
[16:29] <perlsyntax_> i know it is
[16:29] <TheGame> Whats the equivalent of mkinitrd on Xbuntu?
[16:29] <perlsyntax_> what you mean par?
[16:30] <erUSUL> TheGame: mkinitramfs
[16:30] <erUSUL> TheGame: install initramfs tools
[16:30] <perlsyntax_> What you mean bruening?
[16:30] <kinto_0> Hello, I'm doing a partial upgrade and it's failing during the cleanup stage
[16:30] <TheGame> Thanks
[16:30] <kinto_0> is it safe to ctrl+c it?
[16:31] <uwe> HAllo
[16:31] <thenetduck> Does anyone know about ubuntu beta? If it will have the same theme as the origonal release?
[16:31] <kinto_0> yes
[16:32] <kinto_0> well
[16:32] <erUSUL> thenetduck: basically the same yes afaics
[16:32] <kinto_0> it has it
[16:32] <kinto_0> the beta starts w/ a darker theme
[16:32] <kinto_0> : /
[16:32] <kinto_0> more sandstone color
[16:33] <SirronTM> :( brown theme annoys me
[16:33] <Simetrical> How can I figure out the default fonts?  I want gitk to use the default monospace fonts, but Appearance -> Fonts claims that's called "Monospace", and that doesn't show up in the font-picker for gitk's preferences.
[16:33] <coleosis> Then change it? :[
[16:33] <erUSUL> SirronTM: install bluebuntu themes and stuff
[16:34] <erUSUL> Simetrical: default is Deja Vu Mono i think
[16:35] <kinto_0> hrmm, while ppl are talking :: is it safe to kill the distro upgrade process?
[16:35] <Simetrical> erUSUL, is there any way I could have reasonably figured this out on my own, or is it something that you have to know either the folklore or the right file to look in?  Why doesn't the font-setting page say "Deja Vu Mono" instead of just "Monospace"?
[16:35] <Simetrical> Thanks, though.
[16:35] <dan_heyne> sans,sans,sans sans bold + monospace simetrical
[16:35] <Azhi_Dahaka> IntuitiveNipple: i tried the guide but still no sound
[16:35] <thaonguyen> hello
[16:35] <thaonguyen> current i faced a problem
[16:36] <Teisei> theonguyen: Hi
[16:36] <erUSUL> Simetrical: no idea ... i think is DejaVu but can not be sure as you said Monospce gives no info ...
[16:36] <Teisei> thaonguyen*
[16:36] <thaonguyen> Kernel Makefile not found
[16:36] <rafkid> hi - have just allowed 8.1 beta to upgrade itself - now stuckk at my login screen with no mouse and no keybaord apart from cad - any ideas?
[16:36] <thaonguyen> anyone help me
[16:36] <erUSUL> Simetrical: i use Terminus for my "monospace" stuff (terminal and in gitk too)
[16:37] <noodlesgc> rafkid try asking in #ubuntu+1 for intrepid help
[16:37] <Azhi_Dahaka> however, found out a message from pulseaudio in syslog
[16:37] <rafkid> thanks chum
[16:37] <Azhi_Dahaka> Device or resource is busy
[16:37] <Azhi_Dahaka> how can i free the resource or device? Trying fuser only showed me the same processes that erUSUL mentioned
[16:38] <acemo> how do i increase the size of my lvm root partition? when trying to change it in webmin it keeps saying "Failed to save logical volume : Missing or invalid volume size"
[16:38] <erUSUL> Azhi_Dahaka: well you should try to make all apps use pulseaudio as sound output (or esd if they do not support pa directly)
[16:39] <erUSUL> Azhi_Dahaka: that wil allow all of them to use the sound card without conflicts)
[16:39] <Azhi_Dahaka> erUSUL: The issue is this: Audio was working fine when suddenly, stopped working
[16:40] <Azhi_Dahaka> restart "solves" it, but this is the 3rd time that it happened... I logout and stopped every process with the old user (only kept screen... for obvious reasons :P)
[16:41] <localadmin> does anyon know the room name for ubuntu on a powerpc
[16:41] <Killeroid> hi everyone,  i need to run a command a command to load up a driver each time i start up. is /etc/rc.local the correct file to edit and add the command?
[16:41] <acemo> localadmin: #ubuntu-powerpc?
[16:41] <erUSUL> Azhi_Dahaka: suddenly means i did not did something nor installed nothing new that can explain it stopping working?
[16:41] <localadmin> thankyo
[16:41] <zoed> Killeroid: What about System->Preferences->Sessions?
[16:41] <cpbtklogic> Anyone ever get vnc via xinetd/XDMCP working?
[16:42] <erUSUL> Killeroid: to load modules just add its name to /etc/modules
[16:42] <xai> Does anyone know the isoinfo return code for a dvd+rw that has already been written? I cant find this anywhere.
[16:42] <erUSUL> Killeroid: like "echo modulename | sudo tee -a /etc/modules"
[16:42] <s0u][ight> hello how can i make ubuntu load a module by default?
[16:43] <quentusrex_> Hello all. How do I configure wireless in Ubuntu Hardy?
[16:43] <Killeroid> erUSUL: i just compiled the module myslef and its sitting in my home folder, when do i put the module?
[16:43] <erUSUL> s0u][ight: see my response to Killeroid
[16:43] <Azhi_Dahaka> yep... suddenly means i was playing audio on media player worked fine,i was playing audio on web browser worked fine and then... stopped working
[16:43] <joakim> what is the channel for itrepid ibex?
[16:43] <Azhi_Dahaka> like the wireless
[16:43] <joakim> ubuntu1
[16:43] <joakim> ?
[16:43] <blueeyez> any one in here there is good to install and run cs 1.6 on ubuntu+
[16:43] <blueeyez> ?
[16:43] <erUSUL> Killeroid: /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/
[16:43] <erUSUL> Killeroid: run "sudo depmod -a"
[16:44] <joakim> #ubuntu-1

[16:48] <TheGame> Like an internal upgrade to unstable button
[16:48] <noodlesgc> TheGame yes
[16:48] <TheGame> how please noodlesgc

[16:51] <[Solars]> 22
[16:51] <noodlesgc> RicharX no, it doesnt have to do with the OS, its the 32bit architecture that is holding you back

[17:01] <Ste1> Hi, i'm trying to install intelliJ a java editor by using a tar.gz
[17:01] <Ste1> I copied it into my home dir, and when I run the idea.sh it sais JDK_HOME points to invalid JDK installation
[17:01] <Ste1> in the file It sais IDEA_JDK=$JDK_HOME
[17:01] <Ste1> So I gues $JDK_HOME is undefinded.
[17:01] <FloodBot2> Ste1: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[17:02] <erUSUL> phoenixz: also you can use rcconf if you install it
[17:02] <mimi> also ich verstehe überhaupt nicht was das hier insgesamz alles ist
[17:02] <erUSUL> !java | Ste1
[17:02] <phoenixz> erUSUL: seems a bit more complex than just chkconfig...
[17:02] <joakim> #ubuntu+1
[17:02] <Ste1> I did install java

[17:03] <Ste1> altought when I typ env i cannot find any java var.
[17:03] <phoenixz> erUSUL: what does "curses based" mean?
[17:03] <erUSUL> !ko
[17:03] <erUSUL> phoenixz: gui on console like mutt or many editors

[17:05] <erUSUL> Ste1: maybe you have to configure it yourself
[17:05] <phoenixz> erUSUL: thanks!
[17:05] <Ste1> configure java to set the env vars?
[17:05] <erUSUL> phoenixz: no problem... also check "bum" that is directlya gtk app
[17:06] <atjepatatje> can anyone help me getting VNC-server started at boot time?
[17:07] <erUSUL> Ste1: no in you ~/.bashrc put JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/ or whatever java you installed

[17:27] <Welshman> I dont give a
[17:28] <Welshman> its not right
[17:28] <EitheL>  @julian that would require multiple partitions think of it as having windows XP and vista on the same computer
[17:28] <Reformer81> EitheL: It's running.
[17:28] <juliandevwgfnbvh> that would probably require a reboot to make use of the new files. practically a dual boot
[17:28] <Welshman> all I did is point out faults
[17:28] <EitheL>  yes
[17:28] <EitheL>  basicly
[17:28] <juliandevwgfnbvh> eh i can dream

[17:33] <loller> VMware Server may crash if you'll continue. Please try to use exactly same

[17:39] <CutMeOwnThroat> custom1631, did you do "apt-get update" before you used it?
[17:39] <custom1631> yes
[17:39] <custom1631> it seems to update everything ok, but the upgrade never works
[17:39] <GreenBubble> #find . -maxdepth 0 -size +210c -exec ls -l {} \;
[17:39] <genii> custom1631: Also to enable the repositories in which the archives you want to intall reside
[17:39] <GreenBubble> damnit didn't mean to post that
[17:40] <GreenBubble> but anyone know why that command lists ALL the files instead of all files thats are bigger than 210 bytes? forget the madepth part
[17:40] <mumbles> erm how do you get out of  the mangification ?
[17:40] <custom1631> should the default repos be  enabled by default?
[17:40] <mumbles> cat jumped up on the keybord and now eveything is magnified
[17:41] <xa1> is anybody here that can help with nfs4, kerberos and ldap?
[17:41] <custom1631> i am just trying to make sure everything is up to date on a clean install
[17:41] <custom1631> not trying to update any add on packages
[17:43] <genii> custom1631: Is this with 8.10 ?
[17:43] <custom1631> genii, no 8.04
[17:44] <custom1631> genni, I have tried it on older versions also. Always seems to be the same trouble.
[17:45] <custom1631> genii, 8.04 server amd64
[17:45] <genii> custom1631: Conceivably the site which is specified in your sources.list to install from is overloaded or slow to reflect changes in the main repository
[17:45] <loller> can you interpret this and tell me where are this headers:What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running
[17:45] <loller> kernel? [/usr/src/linux/include]
[17:46] <loller> btw i cant configure the vmware ....
[17:46] <custom1631> genii, i never change anything in the source list, just the defaults from a clean load. Is there a better way to go about updateing?
[17:46] <loller> any helpm?
[17:47] <tritium> loller: they're not installed by default.  You'd have to install the proper kernel-headers package.
[17:48] <zack1403> anyone know what gvfs-fuse-daemon is?
[17:48] <frozzenfire> hey guys what is the name of the package manager for ubuntu?

[17:49] <tritium> loller: so, if it's installed, you're in good shape
[17:49] <tritium> Killeroid: /lib/linux-restricted-modules/
[17:50] <ajhtiredwolf> IM having a really weird proble, for some reason all the videos i open now look like they are a negative image, the colors are all wrong, doesnt matter if i use xine/mplayer/vlc they all do it

[17:52] <greencookie> can anyone read my messages?
[17:52] <lampliter> any pointers on how to run ubuntu out of compact flash
[17:52] <EitheL>  yes green
[17:52] <rawbin> Greets. Am not sure if this is an ubuntu problem but was seeking hints. I'm building kde 4.2 using kdesvn-build on an ubuntu hardy machine and kdebase fails to build. The logs say :  CLucene/clucene-config.h: No such file or directory. This is on an Ubuntu Hardy machine and the libclucene-dev package is installed. The file in question seems to be at  /usr/lib/CLucene/clucene-config.h while the build is expecting it at /usr/include. Don't know wh
[17:52] <rawbin> ere to place the blame. Any pointers ?
[17:52] <abdoo> hi
[17:52] <greencookie> Strange. I seem to be able to connect to the net only via irssi. nothing else works, ping, ssh, nothing :S
[17:53] <abdoo> have a question
[17:53] <dmh65> rawbin like kubuntu maybe
[17:53] <dmh65> problem is no one cares there right
[17:53] <loller> tritium What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running
[17:53] <loller> kernel? [/usr/src/linux/include] /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.24-19-generic
[17:53] <loller> The path "/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.24-19-generic" is an existing directory,
[17:53] <loller> but it does not contain a "linux" subdirectory as expected.
[17:53] <FloodBot2> loller: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[17:53] <Reformer81> I am trying to edit an MP3 in Audacity, but Audacity is not playing any sound.
[17:53] <dmh65> nice 4 lines not kicked
[17:53] <EitheL>  hey green, it could be a firewall problem
[17:53] <greencookie> How come I can't ping to yahoo or open a page in firefox but irssi works just fine..
[17:54] <rawbin> dmh65, Well, haven't there yet but will give it a shot. Sounds like I'm not expected to get any ?
[17:54] <greencookie> EitheL: I don't have a firewall on my box :S
[17:54] <abdoo> ello
[17:54] <frozzenfire> oo dam this ubuntu installation did not install any sound drive
[17:54] <tritium> loller: what are you trying to do, by the way?
[17:54] <Ali_ix> greencookie: check you DNS settings
[17:54] <dmh65> ubuntu is Gnome
[17:54] <dmh65> we love it
[17:54] <dmh65> kubutnu loves kde
[17:54] <greencookie> Ali_ix: but if my dns was wrong, shouldnt irssi be unable to connect?
[17:55] <rawbin> dmh65, Sure but libclucene isn't.
[17:55] <dmh65> xubuntu loves xfce etc etc
[17:55] <rawbin> dmh65, Got that!
[17:55] <EitheL>  green: try making ur DNS servers 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220, this is openDNS
[17:55] <dmh65> bitch heh
[17:55] <Ali_ix> greencookie: may be! it is just part on newtwork troubleshooting :)
[17:55] <greencookie> Btw im on a network that doesnt require DNS
[17:55] <EitheL>  openDNS servers
[17:55] <EitheL>  ahh..
[17:56] <greencookie> EitheL: At my work place we dont use DNS, last time I tried a dhclient, it reset something and I had to call in the techs to get it fixed (which was adding a nameserver to /etc/resolv.conf)!
[17:56] <greencookie> let me try to restart my networking.
[17:56] <greencookie> brb
[17:57] <greencookie> check..1..2.
[17:57] <CutMeOwnThroat> greencookie, dhclient != DNS
[17:57] <Ali_ix> we call those lines added in /rtc/resolv.conf 'DNS', it is since early days of internet :)
[17:57] <CutMeOwnThroat> you definitely use DNS
[17:57] <greencookie> CutMeOwnThroat: well thats what brought my puter down the last time :)
[17:57] <slamFIST> hmm.. all of a sudden ubuntu doesn't wanna detect any usb flash drives
[17:58] <slamFIST> what can i do to force it to scan?
[17:58] <greencookie> erm.. "/etc/init.d/networking restart" didnt help..
[17:58] <slamFIST> scan/find drives
[17:58] <Ali_ix> slamFIST: something is wrong with gnomevfs or maybe HAL
[17:58] <dmh65> slamFIST never force anything
[17:58] <Ali_ix> slamFIST: can you mount drives manually?
[17:58] <CutMeOwnThroat> greencookie, if you didn't use DNS you would be about limited to do stuff like "telnet 129.36.36.123" or "ssh 29.36.36.123"
[17:58] <slamFIST> erm let me try
[17:58] <dmh65> reinstalling and stop fkkkinf with the thing
[17:59] <slamFIST> what would it be called? /mnt/usb ??
[17:59] <slamFIST> i can't remember for the life of me
[17:59] <dmh65> most of the people do not say half the crap they before
[18:00] <Ali_ix> slamFIST: try sudo fdisk -l first to find device name (/dev/...)
[18:00] <greencookie> let me try a system reboot.
[18:00] <greencookie> brb
[18:00] <deathtech> Hey Guys, Me again, got ubuntu running great on my XPS 1730, but im having an issue with my dual 8700 M GT's. They are running pretty hot in linux vs windows, Idle temp in win is about 63 C with full aero and dreamscene, nix its pushing close to 80C. I ahve installed the latest 177 driver via envy, and it seems to work great, aside from the heat. Does anyone have an issue similar to this ?
[18:00] <laughzilla> anyone know how to Render a file from Cinelerra 2.0 directly to a size that is not blown up to some ridiculous size, ie: to a .flv or .avi that's under 100 MB for 3 minutes?
[18:01] <slamFIST> doesn't list it there Ali_ix
[18:01] <dmh65> deathtech not running great then is it
[18:01] <slamFIST> just my 3 hdd's
[18:01] <Ali_ix> slamFIST: try lsusb
[18:02] <dmh65> full of crap heh
[18:02] <slamFIST> it lists my mouse and a few other logitech apps
[18:02] <deathtech> dmh65 : aside from the heat, everything else is great i mean, wifi works good, graphics look and do great, just gotta figure out why the heat is coming on
[18:02] <slamFIST> duno which bus would be for my drive
[18:03] <Ali_ix> slamFIST: what is it? a flash usb drive? that should be listed if it is connected
[18:03] <dmh65> deathtech wtf get a new pc
[18:03] <Ali_ix> !language > dmh65
[18:03] <sqawarlz> Is there a default SSH client built into 8.04 LTS?
[18:03] <dmh65> sorry
[18:03] <dmh65> tired
[18:03] <deathtech> dmh65 : .... thats not helpful at all. seems advice given from someone who doesnt know.
[18:04] <slamFIST> Ali_ix: yeah a flash usb drive... it doesn't list it :/
[18:04] <slamFIST> hmm
[18:04] <Ali_ix> sqawarlz: the ssh command is ssh client in terminal,
[18:04] <dmh65> dont ask dumb q's
[18:04] <slamFIST> maybe ubuntu isn't detecting anything at all
[18:04] <dmh65> sorry
[18:04] <Kl4m> That's not a dumb question, but it's a dumb answer
[18:04] <dmh65> sorry I am dumb
[18:04] <Ali_ix> slamFIST: either you got your flash retired or you have problem with new usb devices, i have no idea to fix it without a reboot
[18:04] <deathtech> dmh65 : .... what is dumb about asking why heat occurs more in a linux install than a windows install in a linux question channel.
[18:05] <Kl4m> Regarding heat question, try to disable the desktop effects in Linux to see if it changes how the cards are used, and their temperature
[18:05] <deathtech> Flaming trolls aside... .Anyone with any experience on a Ubuntu install as to why my nvidia card would run much hotter vs my windows system
[18:05] <dmh65> because you expect a answer to it
[18:05] <Ali_ix> deathtech: it is all about drivers!
[18:05] <slamFIST> Ali_ix: thanks.. i suppose i'll try the reboot
[18:05] <slamFIST> thanks man
[18:05] <dmh65> thats heavy stuff
[18:05] <sqawarlz> Ali_ix, It tries to connect with my user name, how do I start the connection and change the user name to login?
[18:05] <dmh65> best bet is turn it off
[18:06] <Ali_ix> sqawarlz: ssh -l USERNAME IP ... or USER@IP ....
[18:06] <deathtech> does anyone have an Nvidia 8700MGT running in sli, using the 177 driver experience heat issues in ubuntu ?
[18:07] <sqawarlz> Ali_ix, what the the l do? and how do I bring up the help menu for bash cmds in terminal? In windows it was /?
[18:07] <Kl4m> deathtech:  Regarding heat question, try to disable the desktop effects in Linux to see if it changes how the cards are used, and their temperature
[18:07] <Ali_ix> sqawarlz: man ssh
[18:07] <Ali_ix> sqawarlz: in terminal 'man COMMAND' is manual pages for that command
[18:07] <deathtech> kl4m: thanks, i will give that ashot, however it appears the nvidia control panel is not reporting the correct temps, is there a program someone can recommend ?
[18:07] <sqawarlz> Ali_ix, thanks mate.

[18:24] <abdoo> okay
[18:24] <abdoo> thanx
[18:24] <AkariChan> as long as you have the codecs installed.
[18:24] <X3> well 3.0 has been released but its already sorta compiled but I dont get how to upgrade it
[18:25] <X3> besides 8.10 doesnt like triple booting
[18:25] <magnetron> X3, you'll get a newer version of openoffice when you upgrade to a new version of ubuntu. the next version of ubuntu will be released in a few weeks, the last day of this month
[18:25] <X3> thanks Ill goto see if theres someone that can shed some light onto installing the upgrade in hardy
[18:26] <AkariChan> amenado: thanks. but the problem is that, all fonts are square boxes, not that they look ugly
[18:26] <X3> I know magnetron
[18:26] <X3> Cnat wait for final release I think the current beta is a bit borked on grub side

[18:48] <tritium> mfwitten: drop the subject
[18:48] <Masticore> anyone know how I can get Quod Libet in the tray?
[18:48] <almtesh> Oh.
[18:48] <mfwitten> Why? Convince me that it's correct to name these things "Christian/Muslim" editions of Ubuntu.
[18:48] <almtesh> I'm on Ubuntu support?
[18:49] <tritium> mfwitten: warning.  Drop the subject now.  We don't have to convince you of anything.
[18:49] <FiremanEd> Alm: you are on #ubuntu
[18:49] <jlilly> almtesh: yes.
[18:49] <AkariChan> does anyone use windows media player + crossover
[18:49] <mfwitten> Of course you don't tritium. I didn't realize you're the founder of the Christian Edition.
[18:49] <almtesh> I don't want to be here now.
[18:50] <tritium> mfwitten: No, I'm not.  But we don't tolerate hate-based attacks here.
[18:50] <ubuntu_> anyone here running smoothwall?
[18:50] <mfwitten> It's not hate!
[18:50] <jlilly> mfwitten: given the nature of the license, there's not much we could do even if we cared to.
[18:50]  * jlilly thanks tritium.
[18:50] <Chousuke> jlilly: Ubuntu is a trademark though; they could forbid them from using the name.
[18:51] <Chousuke> if it really were an issue.
[18:51] <Reformer81> I am trying to edit an MP3 in Audacity, but Audacity is not playing any sound.  Pulseaudio is running and I do not have any other open audio apps.
[18:51] <kduboi1> i have an xinitrc script that just won't run in ubuntu, why is this?
[18:51] <jlilly> Chousuke: point taken.
[18:51] <AkariChan> kdub: i believe gdm bypasses xinitrc
[18:51] <Myrtti> kdub: you have xinitd installed?
[18:51] <Myrtti> ^
[18:51] <jlilly> Reformer81: please mute and unmure your sound, then ensure your volume is maxed.
[18:51] <jlilly> Reformer81: you've been able to previously hear sounds, yes?
[18:52] <kdub> Myrtti: i dont see that in the repos...
[18:52] <Chousuke> Personally I find the "christian" and "muslim" labels pretentious but meh. They're not bug enough that I would care.
[18:52] <Chousuke> big* enough, too
[18:53] <surajit> anyone nko which channel has help for privoxy ?
[18:53] <sqawarlz> !firewall
[18:53] <krisvek> last i knew, audacity simply did not support pulseaudio yet... but i havent checked in a while :)
[18:53] <ubuntu_> i have my smoothwall set up with a basic "red + green" connection using 2 nics and a hub, i can login from my Lan and im getting DHCP but i can get out to the internet? any ideas?
[18:53] <surajit> please ... anyone with privoxy help
[18:54] <Reformer81> jlilly: Yeah, volume is fine and sound works in Amarok.
[18:54] <pen> have anyone here tried amarok 2 beta 2?
[18:54] <_Zeus_> nope
[18:54] <krisvek> surajit: what is your privoxy issue?
[18:54] <tritium> Chousuke: then all you have to do is not use it.
[18:54] <Reformer81> jlilly: Well, it DID.  Now I just tried to play something in Amarok and it crashed lol
[18:55] <surajit> cannot run privoxy after installing from synaptic
[18:55] <juliandevwgfnbvh> my wireless was working earllier now it doesnt find any access points
[18:55] <Chousuke> tritium: That's not the point here.
[18:55] <mfwitten> Wow, good for you. You just happened to block some poor schmuck, who just got my IP
[18:55] <surajit> get error -  Fatal error: can't check configuration file '/home/surajit/config':  No such file or directory
[18:55] <Chousuke> tritium: but I will not talk of it here.
[18:55] <surajit> tried sudo privoxy as well
[18:56] <sqawarlz> !ssh
[18:56] <tritium> Chousuke: it is the point.  If you don't like or approve of it, simply don't use it.  No need for hatred or attacks.
[18:56] <pen> _Zeus_, hm
[18:56] <mfwitten> There is no hatred, just extreme confusion.
[18:56] <Chousuke> tritium: I don't hate them. I simply consider them pretentious.
[18:56] <_Zeus_> Pen: what?
[18:56] <juliandevwgfnbvh> iwconfig shows wireless card but still no wifi can be seen
[18:57] <mfwitten> pretentious is also applicable

[19:06] <Gaurav__> Blue Eagle:and i don't want to shift to windows for that please help
[19:06] <BlueEagle> Gaurav__: I do not know how to do that. I've not owned a Nokia phone since 1997.
[19:06] <lucax> BlueEagle, its only two computers...
[19:06] <damien3> i am trying to install ubuntu on a newly bought system
[19:06] <damien3> i am having trouble
[19:07] <BlueEagle> lucax: it _might_ help to reboot both machines and starting the ubuntu machine first. However I've not dabbled with samba for a very long time so I'm sorry but I don't remember.
[19:07] <CoderCR> How should I modify a HFS+ dvd iso on ubuntu?
[19:07] <BlueEagle> damien3: Any particular trouble you've got?
[19:07] <andrea> ciaoo
[19:08] <damien3> well the menu loads perfectly, then i choose install ubuntu ( in text mode) then the install linux kernel succedes
[19:08] <damien3> after that all i get is a cursor on the first line
[19:08] <damien3> what should i do?
[19:08] <dtech> is there a simple method of manually creating the bootsector on a new disk with a cloned partition.
[19:09] <BlueEagle> damien3: Are you using the alternat install image or the desktop image?
[19:09] <damien3> i dont know
[19:09] <damien3> i am using an install cd
[19:09] <BlueEagle> dtech: dd should be able to do it, but you're running a real risk of corrupting the partition.
[19:09] <damien3> i have used the same cd before
[19:09] <damien3> it worked perfectly
[19:09] <BlueEagle> damien3: Have you tried using vga safe mode? Should be listed on the bottom of the boot menu.
[19:10] <mfw__> Trigger happy tritium: http://ubuntu-virginia.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=930387
[19:10] <damien3> thats what i am planing next
[19:10] <BlueEagle> damien3: Also you may want to try pressing ALT+F1 during boot to see the console log.
[19:10] <damien3> but i have a question
[19:11] <tritium> mfw__: you brought the bans on yourself, per your actions.
[19:11] <damien3> why is the install stoping after installing the console?
[19:11] <damien3> i mean installing the linux kernel
[19:12] <damien3> i get a flashing cursor on the first line
[19:12] <damien3> ALT F1 does not do anything
[19:13] <dtech> also?... does ubuntu use some sort of software sector tranlator if the drive is not handled by the bios?
[19:13] <BlueEagle> damien3: It's not installing the kernel. Just loading it.
[19:13] <BlueEagle> damien3: Try advanced options and turn off acpi
[19:13] <BlueEagle> damien3: I think it's acpi=off or something.
[19:14] <dekushrub> i installed gnome-do but when i run it i can't edit it's preferences
[19:14] <BlueEagle> !gnome-do
[19:14] <BlueEagle> bahh..
[19:14] <B3z3rk3r> dekushrub, have u made sure u are sudo when trying to run it?
[19:15] <l337ingDisorder> hey folks, anyone have experience with building custom ubuntu install cd's?
[19:15] <dekushrub> B3z3rk3r, i've just been running it from the main menu
[19:15] <l337ingDisorder> ie, customizing the install cd
[19:15] <BlueEagle> dekushrub: When using sudo with graphical applications it's recomended (atleast it was a while back) to use gksu instead of sudo.
[19:15] <coleosis> Is it possible to disable the touchpad completely?
[19:16] <AkariChan> are there any benefits of running kubuntu instead of ubuntu (other than it's kde instead of gnome)?
[19:16] <B3z3rk3r> dekushrub, try using nautilus to navigate the to icon (therefore being sudo) and running the icon from there
[19:16] <BlueEagle> coleosis: Most laptops have got an option for that in the bios. Other than that you can comment out the touchpad section in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[19:16] <dekushrub> BlueEagle, even after running with sudo and gksu i still don't have a preferences option
[19:16] <BlueEagle> dekushrub: Then I don't know, sorry.
[19:16] <coleosis> BlueEagle: Thank you
[19:16] <BlueEagle> coleosis: You're welcome.
[19:17] <BlueEagle> (finally, someone I was able to help)
[19:17] <dekushrub> thanks Blue Eagle
[19:17] <AkariChan> Anyone has experience mapping a logitech mouse that has horizontal tilt function to make it do something else (like backward, forward), how do i go about mapping it in xorg.conf?
[19:17] <mmffwwiitteenn> I've been kicked out of the channel three times. Who's the hateful one?
[19:17] <coleosis> BlueEagle: Will I have to restart for this to take affect?
[19:17] <coleosis> effect* ?
[19:18] <BlueEagle> coleosis: You'll have to restart X with loging out and hitting CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE and then logging back in I think.
[19:18] <BlueEagle> coleosis: The xorg.conf is read everytime the X-server starts.
[19:18] <tritium> mmffwwiitteenn: nobody.  You're simply demonstrating yourself to be one who cannot follow rules, particularly about ban-evading.
[19:18] <anto> Does anyone know of a good system to monitor traffic on a server/router?
[19:18] <coleosis> Ah, thank you.
[19:18] <coleosis> I'll be right back then :D
[19:19] <anto> i want to know which ip addresses are using how much internet and on which ports the requests are on
[19:19] <BlueEagle> anto: iptraf might help you.
[19:19] <B3z3rk3r> anto, iptraf and wireshark?
[19:19] <jes1> Hi everyone.. I am using Ubuntu-8.04. I am not able to play any media files (v/a) after I visit any website with flash video . If i restart my Xserver [ctrl + alt + backspace] then I can play them.. But again if i visit youtube or others.. i wont be able to use mplayer or amarock.. i tried using different video and audio players... but none of them works... Any idea what might be the problem ?
[19:20] <dtech> anto: I think ntop might work for you too?
[19:20] <B3z3rk3r> coleosis, wb!
[19:20] <coleosis> Oh dear, after restarting X, I am running in low graphics mode and I have no idea why
[19:20] <B3z3rk3r> 0-o
[19:20] <coleosis> B3z3rk3r: thank you
[19:20] <dtech> did you play with xorg.conf?
[19:21] <BlueEagle> coleosis: Did you miss an endsection when you commented out your touch pad?
[19:21] <coleosis> I did, but I only commented out the touchpad.. :O
[19:21] <_Zeus_> back
[19:22] <_Zeus_> does anyone else use pidgin?
[19:22] <B3z3rk3r> yeah _Zeus_

[19:27] <coleosis> BlueEagle: http://paste.ubuntu.com/56070/  Did I comment it wrong?
[19:27] <B3z3rk3r> mini-man, you could always just turn off the power to your speakers when using headphones?

[19:28] <mini-man> B3z3rk3r, and I can't control the volume on the headphones, they're either on or muted
[19:28] <B3z3rk3r> mini-man, ah
[19:28] <BlueEagle> coleosis: checking
[19:28] <B3z3rk3r> mini-man, isnt there a dimmer switch on your monitor to control volume
[19:28] <SOG> aahhh
[19:29] <BlueEagle> coleosis: You need to change line 58 from "Synaptics touchpad" to "Configured Mouse"

[19:40] <rohan> one of the goals for ubuntu 8.10 was having usb pen drive capability. how do i make one, using for e.g. the beta iso?
[19:41] <webas> http://pastie.org/289595.txt
[19:41] <B3z3rk3r> the, if you feel strongly about that, then you could always run xp in VMWare to access it?
[19:41] <juliandevwgfnbvh> bcm4312
[19:41] <KenBW22> is it bad that installing updates or apps makes my computer juddery for a few seconds?
[19:41] <hwilde> help I need to spike my cpu,   got benchmarks?
[19:41] <B3z3rk3r> the, i know it kind of  long way round, but im not sure how to get it working in ubuntu as i dont use it myself
[19:41] <juliandevwgfnbvh> weird thing is that if worked and all of a sudden just stopped
[19:41] <the> @bez:  lol i have ubuntu on wubi so it's all good... i was just wondering if there's something wrong w/ java that you know of
[19:41] <hsa2> hello
[19:42] <hsa2> how can i do a search in ubuntu packages?
[19:42] <hsa2> i am not using ubuntu
[19:42] <charles> anyone else here install the watcom driver for a tablet laptop in ubuntu?
[19:42] <KenBW22> hsa2: what for?
[19:42] <hsa2> KenBW22, pidgin-plus
[19:42] <hsa2> i am looking for source file of it.
[19:42] <KenBW22> hsa2: oh
[19:42] <anipy> juliandevwgfnbvh: are you sure it isn't a problem with the WLAN access point?
[19:42] <hsa2> KenBW22, can you check for me
[19:42] <juliandevwgfnbvh> no
[19:43] <juliandevwgfnbvh> im at work. all other laptops fine
[19:43] <B3z3rk3r> the, i am aware that when FF 3.0 came out there were a multitude of issues with java. Using Opera helped many ppl, but so far as i know all the java and flash probs have been cleared up now
[19:43] <KenBW22> hsa2: i can. erm, how do i search for sources?
[19:43] <nickoe_> node.net
[19:43] <BlueEagle> webas: lsmod|grep usb-storage
[19:43] <hsa2> KenBW22, binary package is also useful
[19:43] <hsa2> i think i can get the source from it
[19:43] <tomal> hi all
[19:43] <B3z3rk3r> hey tomal
[19:44] <zafy> hey guys I recompiled the kernel but forgot to add the snd-seq module in it, can I install it separately or do I have to recompile everything ?
[19:44] <KenBW22> hsa2: doesn't exist apparently
[19:44] <juliandevwgfnbvh> any ideas
[19:44] <hsa2> damn
[19:44] <BlueEagle> zafy: Change your configuration and then make all. It will not recompile anything but what is needed.
[19:44] <hsa2> i need it ! :)
[19:45] <KenBW22> hsa2: just the binary?
[19:45] <hsa2> KenBW22, whatever, binary, source.
[19:45] <anipy> juliandevwgfnbvh: do you have another OS on that notebook?
[19:45] <ModplanMan> hey peeps, can anyone help me with banshee?
[19:45] <anipy> (dualboot?)
[19:45] <genii> binary <> source
[19:45] <webas> ok im tired..thanks..gl
[19:45] <juliandevwgfnbvh> no i dont
[19:45] <KenBW22> genii: <> ?
[19:45] <juliandevwgfnbvh> just hardy
[19:46] <genii> KenBW22: Is not the same as ...  does not equal ....
[19:46] <sqawarlz> can anyone tell me how to add programs to startup?
[19:46] <ModplanMan> when I run banshee from the terminal, I get this: (Banshee:17507): Gtk-WARNING **: A floating object was finalized. This means that someone
[19:46] <ModplanMan> called g_object_unref() on an object that had only a floating
[19:46] <ModplanMan> reference; the initial floating reference is not owned by anyone
[19:46] <KenBW22> genii: != ?

[19:46] <anipy> juliandevwgfnbvh: if you check the network settings, do you see any WLAN?
[19:47] <saykou> any 1 can give a link do download beryl for ubuntu with all the package's allready
[19:47] <juliandevwgfnbvh> yes i do
[19:47] <genii> KenBW22: Basically

[19:48] <anipy> juliandevwgfnbvh: is the WLAN the one you need? and does it have encryption on or off?
[19:48] <juliandevwgfnbvh> im stumped

[19:48] <juliandevwgfnbvh> encryption on

[19:49] <LuKe2008> ?
[19:49] <anipy> juliandevwgfnbvh: maybe somehow your settings for this WLAN connection got lost or corrupted. have you tried to reconfigure it?
[19:49] <morth_> !ftp
[19:49] <hsa2> KenBW22, do you have any idea about downloading the file on that site :P
[19:49] <misfbackw_> tritium: You've now kicked me out of the channel 5 times to satisfy your weak ego. Who's the hateful one?
[19:49] <sqawarlz> ALL, sorry let me be more specific. I am having a hard time find where programs are located to add them to startup in my session automatically.
[19:49] <juliandevwgfnbvh> yes
[19:49] <sqawarlz> Where is the default location where programs are installed?
[19:49] <juliandevwgfnbvh> i also scanned in command line and nothing comes up
[19:50] <KenBW22> hsa2: i coiuldnt find it wither :D
[19:50] <teadict> how do I enable emerald by default within compiz?
[19:50] <KenBW22> either*
[19:50] <sqawarlz> I want to add it to the startup autmatically and I know how to under sessions but I can find the default programs directory.
[19:50] <morth_> spawarlz - Application - Add/Remove Applications.
[19:50] <coleosis> Oh boy, now my settings are really messed up. I forgot to back up my xorg like a noob and now I can't get any other resolution besides 800x600
[19:50] <KenBW22> teadict: it's under Command in Window manager
[19:50] <KenBW22> teadict: emerald --replace iirc
[19:50] <teadict> KenBW22: iirc ?
[19:51] <KenBW22> teadict: if i remember correctly
[19:51] <sqawarlz> morth I dont want to add/remove my programs, I want to find out where the are installed by default.
[19:51] <juliandevwgfnbvh> is there a way to just reinstall the card and go from there
[19:51] <thiebaude> sqawarlz:/usr/bin
[19:51] <KenBW22> teadict: "gtk-window-decorator --replace" works for me on xubuntu in Compiz, so i assume it's the same for emerald
[19:51] <sqawarlz> thisbaude, thanks
[19:51] <thiebaude> yw
[19:52] <morth_> spawarlz - like where most of the programs are installed like windows : Program files? it should be in the /usr/bin
[19:52] <morth_> oops i sent that to late
[19:52] <morth_> nevermind that last comment then lol
[19:52] <hsa2> KenBW22, i found it!

[19:53] <sqawarlz> it doesnt appear in user/bin
[19:53] <saykou> !beryl

[19:55] <MTecknology> I just got a USB bluetooth device and bluetooth-applet sees it. I put my phone in discoverable mode and try to make them pair but they don't see each other.
[19:56] <MrLemur> MTecknology, that's a common problem
[19:56] <sqawarlz> rootsnatch what is the difference between /usr/bin and /usr/sbin?
[19:56] <MTecknology> MrLemur: really? any suggestions?
[19:56] <hsa2> anyway, KenBW22, it doesn't work :P
[19:56] <MrLemur> Try finding ur comp using the phone and pairing it
[19:56] <thiebaude> !sbin
[19:56] <anipy> juliandevwgfnbvh: i don't think you need to reinstall the WLAN card. maybe it is just broken. have you tried with booting from a ubuntu live CD?
[19:56] <linduxed> how much swap is recomended if ive got 4gigs of ram?
[19:56] <MrLemur> !what is this
[19:57] <KenBW22> hsa2: ah well, maybe itll be in the intrepid repos :D
[19:57] <Slart> sqawarlz: google for linux file hierarchy.. there is a good page somewhere that describes what all the folders are for
[19:57] <thiebaude> is /usr/sbin system files?
[19:57] <juliandevwgfnbvh> no i havent
[19:57] <morth_> !ubottu wanna go for lunch?
[19:57] <thiebaude> and usr/bin program files
[19:57] <KenBW22> thiebaude: what's a system file in your mind?
[19:57] <_Zeus_> linduxed: do you want to enable hibernate?
[19:57] <juliandevwgfnbvh> ill try thast
[19:57] <Slart> linduxed: are you going to use hibernation or such functions? if so you need as much swap as memory.. if not 2Gb should be enough
[19:58] <_Zeus_> linduxed: if you're not using hibernate, i don't think you need a swap
[19:58] <thiebaude> just like windows system files ,dll etc
[19:58] <rootsnatch> sqawarlz: the difference is sbin is generally system administration things
[19:58] <_Zeus_> if you're doing a lot of system-intensive stuff (video editing, etc) you could try 4-8GB
[19:58] <lgc> How can I preserve the home dir. when reinstalling? (I need to make sure since this very step makes me very nervous).
[19:58] <anipy> juliandevwgfnbvh: was ubuntu preinstalled on the notebook?
[19:58] <rootsnatch> sqawarlz: a lot of the time they are only accesible from the root/sudo account
[19:58] <charles> does anyone know why i cannot connect to wep wireless connections in ubuntu?
[19:59] <_Zeus_> lgc: do you have /home on a seperate partition
[19:59] <Slart> sqawarlz, thiebaude: look here http://tldp.org/LDP/Linux-Filesystem-Hierarchy/html/index.html
[19:59] <ndube> what is the irc channel for 8.10
[19:59] <juliandevwgfnbvh> no i installed myself
[19:59] <thiebaude> thanks slart
[19:59] <KenBW22> thiebaude: AFAIK Ubuntu isn't like Windows where the OS and apps are seperate - the OS *is* a bunch of apps put together
[19:59] <KenBW22> ndube: ubuntu+1
[19:59] <genii> !fhs
[19:59] <_Zeus_> !intrepid | ndube
[19:59] <lgc> _Zeus_, positive.

[19:59] <KenBW22> genii: is my explanation right?
[19:59] <juliandevwgfnbvh> be back
[19:59] <ndube> thanks
[19:59] <_Zeus_> lgc: ok, and which one is home?  do you know? (eg, /dev/sdxx)
[19:59] <thiebaude> sbin is system files?
[20:00] <akhilesh> hi, how do I reinstall grub using ubuntu live cd.
[20:00] <genii> KenBW22: Basically :)
[20:00] <akhilesh> http://pastebin.ca/1224793
[20:00] <KenBW22> thiebaude: "/sbin contains important administrative commands that should generally only be employed by the superuser."
[20:00] <lgc> _Zeus_, I don't have the computer in front of me, but let's say it's /dev/sda4.
[20:00] <DasE1> !grub|﻿akhilesh
[20:00] <thiebaude> ok,kenbw22, but am i close
[20:01] <mohd> hello
[20:01] <KenBW22> thiebaude: it depends what you mean by "system files"
[20:01] <_Zeus_> lgc: go to manual partitioner, tell it to use /dev/sda4, mount point /home, make sure thet format is NOT checked
[20:01] <KenBW22> thiebaude: yes, it's a part of the system, but everything is
[20:01] <thiebaude> true
[20:01] <thiebaude> good discussion
[20:01] <shawn__> im trying to repartition a 200g internal, the second partition after gparted was done with it says 8.9gigs is already used, how is this possible?
[20:01] <mohd> can i adapt voip locally ?
[20:01] <KenBW22> thiebaude: you hav all your preferences stored in your home folder, you could consider those System Files
[20:01] <_Zeus_> shawn__: did you format the partition?
[20:02] <sqawarlz> I am trying to have firestarter load at startup but it requires root privileges to run, how do I get around that>?
[20:02] <thiebaude> kenBW22:i'am learning everyday
[20:02] <KenBW22> thiebaude: new to Ubuntu?
[20:02] <_Zeus_> sqawarlz: sudo/gksu?
[20:02] <thiebaude> that would be true, kenBW22
[20:02] <_Zeus_> sqawarlz: do you mean, you don't want to have to put in the password?
[20:02] <shawn__> _Zeus_, i deleted the original partition and create 2 new ones on it both in ext3
[20:02] <DasE1> ﻿akhilesh: you could try super-grub disk, a very helpfull tool
[20:02] <_Zeus_> shawn__: did you press apply yet
[20:02] <KenBW22> thiebaude: the biggest and hardest part is forgetting a lot of what you think you know about OSs
[20:02] <shawn__> yes
[20:02] <thiebaude> since, 6.04 actually it was 6.06
[20:03] <thiebaude> but windows free for 1yr no windows on my computer
[20:03] <jonathan041> can anyone help with intel wireless 4965 agn?  it is recognized but runs at about dialup speeds
[20:03] <KenBW22> thiebaude: you've been using Ubuntu since 6.06, and you're new?
[20:03] <sqawarlz> _Zeus, I went and added firestarter to my session startup but it failed to load at login because it requires too privileges
[20:03] <thiebaude> 6.04 was delayed
[20:03] <shawn__> _Zeus_, and nautilus wont let me write to it either
[20:03] <KenBW22> thiebaude: that was over 2 years ago
[20:03] <thiebaude> kenBW22:its hard to understand this file structure compared to windows
[20:03] <KenBW22> thiebaude: i only propery started with 7.10
[20:04] <KenBW22> thiebaude: when did you start to use Ubuntu properly?
[20:04] <KenBW22> thiebaude: as in stop using Windows
[20:04] <thiebaude> kenBW22:1 yr ago
[20:04] <_haywire_> jonathan041 try: sudo iwconfig wlan0 bit 54M
[20:04] <LuKe2008> Is it me or is it that Running Wine slows your Ubuntu
[20:04] <KenBW22> thiebaude: fair enough
[20:04] <LuKe2008> Im running at 3 GB
[20:04] <LuKe2008> :/
[20:04] <Matt|GS> anyone here have experiance with subversion?
[20:04] <rrowell> i have 2 interfaces, eth0 (192.168.20.x) and eth1 (192.168.222.x), I want the default gateway to be 192.168.222.1 and all traffice for 192.168.20.0/24 and all traffic for 192.168.1.0/24 to go to the gateway 192.168.20.1... I know how to build the route table manually, but I was hoping for some guidance on how to set this up with /etc/network/interfaces
[20:05] <lgc> _Zeus_, ah, OK. I'm recalling that menu now. Same thing goes for Windows and the rest of the partitions, I suppose.
[20:05] <thiebaude> windows file system is easy
[20:05] <rrowell> Matt|GS: Yeah, what is your issue?
[20:05] <KenBW22> thiebaude: easy because you know it
[20:05] <MrLemur> LuKe2008: I don't have any problems. Most of the apps I use using Wine run even faster than in Windows.
[20:05] <_Zeus_> lgc: yes
[20:05] <thiebaude> yea, i had been using it since 3.11
[20:05] <Matt|GS> My post-commit executable works fine if I execute it manually, but it doesn't seem to be executing when I commit a change
[20:05] <shawn__> _Zeus_, properties says only 1 file, lost+found, and its only a few k
[20:05] <rrowell> Matt:GS: And should probably move the converation to #svn
[20:05] <LuKe2008> oh ok, but im running my Ubuntu on my other laptop and they are the exactly same....
[20:05] <LuKe2008> :/
[20:05] <_Zeus_> shawn__: did you press apply after making the partitions?
[20:05] <KenBW22> thiebaude: C:\Documents and Settings\Kenneth\My Documents or /home/kenneth <-- which is easiest?
[20:05] <shawn__> _Zeus_, yes
[20:06] <lgc> _Zeus_, do you happen to know about graphic sessions not recognizing the mouse?
[20:06] <jonathan041> _haywire: i copied and pasted that into terminal and nothing came upe
[20:06] <_Zeus_> shawn__: how big is the file in lost+found?
[20:06] <_Zeus_> lgc: nope
[20:06] <jonathan041> up
[20:06] <MrLemur> LuKe2008:  Any problems in particular?
[20:06] <aku> hello how to set auth automatically when using Pidgin in Quakenet?
[20:06] <limitedwisdom> howdy. On my ubuntu server, I can ping it from some computers, but not from one specific computer - anyone ever heard of this?
[20:06] <thiebaude> ah, good one,kenBW22, of course home/kenneth
[20:06] <erUSUL> aku: better use a real irc client
[20:06] <_Zeus_> aku: try #pidgin
[20:06] <DasE1> ﻿hsa2:what do these extensions do ?
[20:06] <KenBW22> thiebaude: which OS is it easiest to install apps on?
[20:06] <aku> thanks
[20:06] <coleosis> If I add something to my rc.local, do I have to change the exit 0?
[20:06] <erUSUL> aku: like x-chat
[20:06] <LuKe2008> Ok, Steam wont run in Wine for somereason
[20:06] <LuKe2008> :/
[20:07] <shawn__> _Zeus_, properties says it contains nothing
[20:07] <aku> Ok
[20:07] <hsa2> DasE1, which one?
[20:07] <limitedwisdom> (worth mentioning, that one computer has Internet connectivity and is on the same LAN, etc - no problems pinging other stuff)
[20:07] <erUSUL> coleosis: no and the "something" must be before the exit 0
[20:07] <lgc> _Zeus_, it's that I upgraded from 6.06 to 8.04 and I suspect there remain some loose strings.
[20:07] <pinkdawn> I want to ask 2 simple questions, what is a soft link and hard link in UNIX file system? the choice is: 1, a mapping of a name to a file, 2, a link from a file to a path position, 3, a path that is resolved to another path 4, a link between two files?
[20:07] <thiebaude> kenBW22:ubuntu, with synaptic or sudp apt-get , add remove
[20:07] <DasE1> ﻿hsa2:the link you gave (launchpad...)
[20:07] <pinkdawn> I've get the defition of both soft and hard links, but still can't resolve this multiple choice quesiton..
[20:07] <coleosis> erUSUL: Thank you
[20:07] <thiebaude> i dont dual boot like alot of ppl
[20:08] <hsa2> DasE1, it's adds plus!'s color function to pidgin
[20:08] <thiebaude> i dont need to, i know they might
[20:08] <KenBW22> thiebaude: but you get a lot of ex-Windowsers saying "why cant i download and double-click something?". it's just thet they're used to the old way
[20:08] <pinkdawn> anyone knows soft link and hard link?
[20:08] <shawn__> With internal SATA drives, does it matter what order the drives are plugged in? I want to use a partition on the second HD as my main os partition
[20:08] <thiebaude> exactly:KenBW22
[20:08] <DasE1> ﻿hsa2:my pidgin had a plugin doing that
[20:08] <oi> ÍÀ ÕÓÉ
[20:08] <erUSUL> pinkdawn: well a hard link and a soft link are different so none of the chices explain both afaics
[20:08] <hsa2> DasE1, really?
[20:08] <hsa2> i want it! :P
[20:09] <thiebaude> now with 8.10 it's easier to search synaptic
[20:09] <DasE1> ﻿hsa2:want a current screenshot ?
[20:09] <KenBW22> thiebaude: so the linux filesystem probably isn't difficult (although i still dont get it)
[20:09] <hsa2> DasE1, why not, yes.
[20:09] <ray_> ay
[20:09] <DasE1> ﻿hsa2:I'll pm you
[20:09] <thiebaude> kenBW22,it's getting easier
[20:09] <erUSUL> pinkdawn: i will choose 1 fpr hard links and 2 for soft links
[20:10] <thiebaude> 4 yrs i would say linux, ha
[20:10] <limitedwisdom> ok, so let me revise my question (since I just fixed it myself :) )
[20:10] <Moes> Vulnerability in Cups reported does this also apply to cupsys in Ubuntu Gutsy
[20:10] <limitedwisdom> I could ping from ubuntu server to windows server. I could NOT ping from windows server to ubuntu server. I added the win server to my ubuntu hosts file and then pinging worked in all directions - what's that about?
[20:10] <plamar> hey, you guys know why my ssh program just hangs when i tell it to connect to a remote host?
[20:11] <thiebaude> kenBW22:ubuntu 8.10 is going to be the best
[20:11] <plamar> know how I could troubleshoot it?

[20:19] <radovich> how do i make my kubuntu be ubuntu? install ubuntu-desktop from repo, then how do i change the startup screen to say ubuntu and not kubuntu?

[20:20] <orgthingy> hi
[20:21] <thiebaude> i don't know, black_feather
[20:21] <orgthingy> i wanna transfer bookmarks from one ubuntu to another ubuntu machine
[20:21] <orgthingy> of firefox
[20:21] <carthik> My Ubuntu 8.04 desktop crashed - it got stuck and would not respond, and I could not ssh in. I want to find out what caused this, how do I find out?
[20:21] <anipy> juliandevwgfnbvh: as you have installed ubuntu at the first place, did the WLAN card work out of the box? if yes, it is very likely a hardware problem.
[20:21] <orgthingy> but i dont know where firefox bookmarks are stored
[20:21] <_Zeus_> orgthingy: try foxmarks
[20:21] <_Zeus_> plugin
[20:21] <black_feather> oh ok
[20:21] <ushills> orgthing. try gmarks in firefox and google bookmarks
[20:21] <black_feather> sorry to bother you guys
[20:21] <l337ingDisorder> anyone know how to make a custom install cd that omits certain packages?
[20:21] <LjjjL> orgthingy: firefox has an "export" function for its bookmark, look in the bookmarks manager
[20:21] <carthik> orgthingy, or you can export your bookmarks, copy them over and import them, but it gets painful if you have to do it everyday
[20:23] <Moes> !cupsys
[20:23] <ianliu_88> Have anyone experienced strange behaviors with the master sound control? It low the sound very much, so, when it is like 50% there is no sound at all
[20:23] <thiebaude> orgthingy:do you have a floppy drive?
[20:23] <radovich> does anyone have a problem loading pages that contain a lot of flash in firefox? it freezes for a long time. is there a fix?
[20:23] <thiebaude> do
[20:23] <orgthingy> where's "export" ?
[20:23] <macvr> sqawarlz: seems ok for noob like me... simple~~~
[20:23] <orgthingy> i know can see import
[20:23] <orgthingy> thiebaude : i have an external USB hardisk though?
[20:24] <thiebaude> ok
[20:24] <ushills> orgthingy. seriously if you need to do this often try gmark plugin for firefox
[20:25] <LjjjL> orgthingy: i don't have firefox 3 in front of me (only 2, which has import/export in the file menu), but both should be in the toolbar of Bookmarks /Organize bookmarks
[20:25] <black_feather> am on an intel 945 chipset...the video is crappy...any workarounds or twaeks guys?????
[20:26] <black_feather> tweaks
[20:26] <macvr> orgthingy: just open organize bookmarks and select backup
[20:26] <macvr> "BACKUP"
[20:26] <radovich> black_feather: use intel instead of i810
[20:26] <node357> the problem with backing up bookmarks in FF3 is you can't import them afterwards
[20:27] <macvr> node357:  u can
[20:27] <radovich> black_feather: modify you xorg.cong to use intel driver instead of i810 driver
[20:27] <radovich> xorg.conf
[20:27] <radovich> does anyone have a problem loading pages that contain a lot of flash in firefox? it freezes for a long time. is there a fix?
[20:27] <black_feather> can you be a lil more explanatory please radovich
[20:27] <radovich> black_feather: just a sec...
[20:27] <black_feather> ok
[20:29] <radovich> black_feather: /etc/x11/xorg.conf file needs to be edited
[20:29] <Azlx> ok i got a big issue
[20:29] <black_feather> ok...so what do i edit in that??
[20:29] <JesseL627> I actually ran accross a profitable stock pick site today: www.profitlock.net
[20:30] <radovich> black_feather: Section Device has to have a value for driver. it is "i810". chage that value to "intel"
[20:30] <Azlx> ive been running windows duel booting with ubuntu, well i was messing with the partition, and it basically, made my windows not boot anymore, is there a way i can make ubuntu primary, or only os?
[20:30] <macvr> JesseL627: no spam
[20:30] <black_feather> ok radovich...thank you
[20:30] <KenBW22> Azlx: you mean so that Grub loads Ubuntu by default?
[20:30] <radovich> np
[20:30] <juliandevwgfnbvh> ok so i think that maybe my upgrade to ubuntu studio might have killed my wifi
[20:31] <Azlx> yeah
[20:31] <Azlx> like wehn my comp use to be only windows.
[20:31] <Azlx> it just started up.
[20:31] <Azlx> well now it wont boot either...
[20:31] <KenBW22> Azlx: Ubuntu wont boot?>
[20:31] <macvr> Azlx: just delete the win partition and expand ur present ubuntu  partition from ur LIVE CD
[20:31] <radovich> Azlx: yep. use gparted to erase windows partition. then edit grub menu list, just delete or comment out windows part
[20:32] <Azlx> thats the ntfs partition right?
[20:32] <macvr> Azlx:  s
[20:32] <radovich> riiiight
[20:32] <radovich> does anyone have a problem loading pages that contain a lot of flash in firefox? it freezes for a long time. is there a fix?
[20:32] <KenBW22> Azlx: paste your /boot/grub/menu.lst
[20:32] <juliandevwgfnbvh> wmaster0 what the heck is this
[20:32] <KenBW22> Azlx: to a pastebin
[20:32] <msikma_> Hi there

[20:32] <aldipc> hi!
[20:32] <radovich> ola
[20:32] <macvr> KenBW22: i think he just wants to get rid of XP
[20:33] <aldipc> I installed xbindkeys config, but I cannot find it in the startmenu.. how do I start it?
[20:33] <JesseL627> I actually ran accross a profitable stock pick site today: www.profitlock.net
[20:33] <msikma_> I'm currently on the PPC Ubuntu 8.04 live CD but the screen cannot init.  Specifically, it says "bogl_init failed: EXPLODE".  Anyone know why?  I'm on a Titanium Powerbook 500 MHz.
[20:33] <tyberion> uhm, guys ive been using amarok so far for playbacking my mp3s but it crashes way to often, however I luv those global hotkey stuff there, is there anything comparable which I can use instead of amarok?
[20:33] <KenBW22> macvr: an excellent decision :)
[20:34] <macvr> :)
[20:34] <radovich> tyberion: rhytmbox
[20:34] <macvr> someone ban JesseL627 : looks like a spam bot?
[20:34] <Azlx> http://www.pastie.org/289624
[20:34] <tyberion> radovich: can I easily have global hotkeys assigned there or do I need a plugin for that?
[20:34] <kayos> can someone please help me with configuring mythtv?
[20:34] <msikma_> Is anyone able to help me or should I go to a PPC-specific channel?
[20:34] <radovich> tyberion: i am on kde now, i think there are options for assigning keys
[20:35] <SiDi> msikma_, what is it about ?
[20:35] <msikma_> SiDi: unable to initialize X while on a rather old Powerbook using the community port of 8.04 for PPC
[20:35] <radovich> please help with my firefox flash problem... it is a global flash problem, now just in firefox. same thing in opera and konqueror
[20:35] <msikma_> I just popped in the CD, so this is a 100% vanilla environment.
[20:35] <kayos> I used all the default settings (I think) but I don't know what to tell it in mythtv-setp
[20:35] <msikma_> I actually thought it had locked up until I pressed CTRL+ALT+F1 to find out it had logged in, except without X.
[20:36] <SiDi> http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=466328 msikma_ it seems to be the usplash
[20:36] <msikma_> SiDi: hm.. I don't know how to click links in text-mode irssi...
[20:36] <SiDi> msikma_, once you're logged in shell on a user account, what happens when you type "startx" ?
[20:36] <msikma_> I'll try this, just a sec
[20:37] <msikma_> hmm
[20:37] <msikma_> Lots of error messages.  It tried to enable the screen, but it says that none of the screens that were found are suitable
[20:37] <KenBW22> Azlx: it's booting Windows first?
[20:37] <SiDi> Well, your pc is decent enough to run a X server ?
[20:37] <SiDi> What GPU do you have ?
[20:38] <radovich> msikma_: run Xorg -configure (i think it can be done in linux, it is a freebsd command)
[20:38] <msikma_> SiDi: I'm not entirely sure. This is a Titanium Powerbook 500 MHz, but I'm pretty sure it should be able to do that comfortably
[20:38] <SiDi> Is it an ATI card?
[20:38] <SiDi> lspci | grep -i vga to check
[20:38] <SiDi> from google, it seems to come mostly with PPC / ATI
[20:38] <juliandevwgfnbvh> wmaster0 can anyone tell me what this interface it
[20:38] <macvr> Azlx: jus comment out the last few lines33-36... after u get rid of winDOZE
[20:38] <lucax> man, everytime i enable firestarter i cant see netbios connections, i mean all the network!! how do i set this up without turning the firewall off???
[20:38] <msikma_> It's an ATI card
[20:39] <msikma_> ATI Rage Mobility M3 AGP 2x
[20:39] <linduxed> why do some ppl dedicate a partition to the /boot directory
[20:39] <SiDi> oh dear, thats rather old :D
[20:39] <SiDi> i've got a rage pro on my Pentium II
[20:39] <radovich> msikma_: ati rage, right
[20:39] <msikma_> SiDi: yeah :)
[20:39] <msikma_> I hope something can be done
[20:40] <SiDi> msikma_, maybe you could try Xubuntu, it uses XFCE, should be lighter ^^ But i'm not sure an ATI Rage can run KDE/Gnome
[20:40] <msikma_> I used to run Ubuntu on a 400 MHz Toshiba
[20:40] <SiDi> What's your RAM by the way ?
[20:40] <SiDi> It's recommanded to have 64/128 MB for X.
[20:40] <radovich> msikma_: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[20:40] <radovich> run this
[20:40] <msikma_> A lot, either 512 MB or 768 MB
[20:40] <msikma_> radovich: I'll try this, thanks
[20:40] <lucax> k, can someone help me? i cant access to my other computer with samba while firestarter is on...
[20:40] <carthik> linduxed, old habits, I don't any more.
[20:40] <SiDi> Oh good. Then the weak point shall be the GPU.
[20:41] <radovich> lucax: open port 138 tcp, udp 139 i think
[20:41] <linduxed> carthik: i c
[20:42] <radovich> please help me with my flash problem
[20:42] <danbh_intrepid> !ask > radovich
[20:42] <msikma_> SiDi: when trying dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg it asks me to give the video card's bus identifier.
[20:43] <msikma_> Is lspci's 0000:00:10.0 correct?
[20:43] <SiDi> msikma_, i have no idea
[20:43] <msikma_> because its example says PCI:0:16:0
[20:43] <lucax> k solve it... turned off firestarter...
[20:43] <radovich> does anyone have a problem loading pages that contain a lot of flash in firefox? it freezes for a long time. is there a fix? it is aglobal flash problem. same in opera nad konqueror
[20:43] <Halabund> Hi!
[20:43] <SiDi> radovich, sec gonna get you a link
[20:43] <radovich> there :)
[20:43] <lucax> thats the only way, dont want to open ports,
[20:43] <lucax> how do i use a shared printer with samba?
[20:43] <radovich> Thanx !!!
[20:43] <danbh_intrepid> radovich: link?
[20:43] <drichert> randovich, does it happen every time or just when you have an audio app running?
[20:43] <SiDi> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4928900 radovich i managed to get decent flash with this page.
[20:44] <radovich> www.itsvet.com serbian page, for example...
[20:44] <nickelpat> Hello guys, is there a command I can use to check my system specs, RAM and what not?
[20:44] <Halabund> I just tried the Ubuntu 8.10 live CD.  As I click the little network icon in the upper right corner, I see an entry: Configure VPN. But in the window it brings up, all the buttons are disables (on the VPN tab).  Is this feature still unimplemented?

[20:45] <SiDi> radovich, i cant see it either to tell you the truth
[20:45] <drichert> randovich: I have the same problem when I'm running Exaile and load up a site with flash.  It's a pulseaudio thing I believe.  Haven't found the fix myself.
[20:45] <drichert> randovich: other than closing Exaile

[20:46] <danbh_intrepid> radovich: well, I can see the page, but it is allot of flash running.  It causes quite the cpu burn, though its not maxing out
[20:46] <SiDi> radovich, either they have too much flash for our poor flash plugins or their flash objects are not correctly written in their code
[20:46] <radovich> SiDi: you cant see what? no sound problem, just freezing graphic
[20:46] <macvr> !ubuntu

[20:46] <SiDi> radovich, i can't see the flash on their pages.
[20:46] <radovich> SiDi: oh
[20:46] <radovich> it work fine in windblow$ :(
[20:46] <SiDi> radovich, usually crashes with pages with several flash animations come from conflicts for sound card mastery.
[20:47] <lucax> how do i use a windows shared printer?
[20:47] <nickelpat> Cool, thanks Arquebus and DasE1
[20:47] <SiDi> radovich, flash will work better with time hopefully. all i can say is that people who make websites (as i myself made some) and who use tons of flash are dumbass. they lose 10% clients.
[20:47] <radovich> i thought it is like that... several flash animations make a lot of cpu go crazy...
[20:47] <radovich> SiDi: these guys do it for the money. those are all ads...
[20:47] <SiDi> no, it's more related to compatibility / conflicts.
[20:47] <JesseL627> I actually ran accross a profitable stock pick site today: www.profitlock.net
[20:47] <SiDi> radovich, then maybe its why i dont see them, i have adblock :D

[20:54] <macvr> SiDi: /ignore and the user name?
[20:54] <dorian_> I just moved to Intrepid and there is something amazing
[20:54] <Mimi> Telendrith, make sure you read the faq on the website before you decide if its good for you :)

[20:54] <natalisushka> Hi, is it possible to create a direct wireless connection between two ubuntu boxes?
[20:54] <vipaca> Vinagre is a VNC client for the GNOME Desktop
[20:54] <dorian_> the OpenGL bug with intel chipset seems to be solved !
[20:54] <Mimi> tyberion,  you mean like,  Next Song button on your mouse, or stuff like,  CTRL+Right Arrow (example)
[20:54] <tyberion> Mimi: exactly, cant find where to set those:*
[20:54] <tyberion> :(
[20:55] <Telendrith> Mimi, Heh, I will ^^
[20:55] <JewingGum> Is here spambot?
[20:55] <Bruno_______> hi
[20:56] <SiDi> vipaca, isn't it coming with server options "Lock screen when user logs out" ?
[20:56] <Mimi> tyberion,  you know that rhythmbox uses the keyboard shortcuts under Keyboard Shortcuts on your Ubuntu preferences?
[20:56] <JesseL627> I actually ran accross a profitable stock pick site today: www.profitlock.net
[20:57] <Mimi> tyberion,  though to be honest, i just tried one and it didnt work >_< I'm sorries
[20:57] <orgthingy> :O
[20:57] <vipaca> SiDi: So this is the scenarion there is a server that is started by someone. Other clients have an option -share that does not kick the users that are viewing the server out before connect
[20:57] <tyberion> Mimi: okay :( ohwell I just want to be able to navigate songs over global hotkey stuff
[20:57] <tyberion> why does amarok have to crash all the time,gr
[20:57] <orgthingy> get a better pc
[20:57] <basy> how to scan FTP dir tree and store it into text file?
[20:57] <orgthingy> and get a better one that support linux fully
[20:57] <SiDi> vipaca, from the paquage description of vinagre it supports several connections.
[20:57] <orgthingy> with good drivers
[20:57] <dorian_> on Xubuntu Amarok works fine
[20:57] <juliandevwgfnbvh> has ubuntu studio broke anyones wifi
[20:58] <Bruno_______> Hello I would like to know how to find a free script for example to make this type of search: www.rio24h.com.br
[20:58] <Mimi> Bruno_______,  wrong place to ask
[20:58] <vipaca> This more or less means you can have several connection to many different servers
[20:58] <pasteeater> I believe I have a dying hard drive on my Windows partition.  What is a good utility to test it or to verify the SMART status?
[20:58] <vipaca> I want many to one server with out the kick
[20:59] <vipaca> what ends up happening is that whne I join a session in progress everyone gets kicked and has to rejoin with -share that doesn't kick me
[20:59] <vipaca> I want to be able to do the same
[20:59] <LjjjL> pasteeater: use the "smartmontools" package, "smartctl" command
[20:59] <leethal> hello there. Any suggestions for installation tactics if your CD-rom is borked and you don't have a USB stick?
[20:59] <DasE1> ﻿ pasteeater: smartmon-tools or testdisk, also e2fsck
[20:59] <pasteeater> DasE1: thanks
[20:59] <SiDi> What clients do they use ?
[21:00] <SiDi> the vinagre man says nothing about this
[21:00] <LjjjL> DasE1: despite the name, testdisk doesn't test disks
[21:00] <pasteeater> LjjjL: thanks as well
[21:00] <Azlx> im trying to remove windows and make my pc boot into ubuntu
[21:00] <danbh_intrepid> leethal: if you are running windows, there used to be a net installer that you could run right from windows
[21:01] <DasE1> LjjjL: yup, was hdparm, pasteeater
[21:01] <leethal> danbh_intrepid: sounds like something that could work, got any links?
[21:01] <leethal> nvm, I'll just f-in google it ; )
[21:02] <TheMusicGuy> hello, trying to share internet connection of my laptop with my palm treo 650. I've read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PalmBluetoothHowto and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=332652 but it still isn't quite working.
[21:02] <jorge_> hello
[21:02] <danbh_intrepid> leethal: try sourceforge.net
[21:02] <danbh_intrepid> !netinstall | leethal
[21:03] <TheMusicGuy> according to Wireshark, DNS packets sent from my palm are getting to the DNS server, but the response packets from the DNS server aren't making it back to the palm.
[21:03] <TheMusicGuy> At least, that's what it looks like is happening.
[21:03] <leethal> thanks!
[21:03] <vipaca> Where can you find the command line for the icons in the applications menu?
[21:03] <jrib> vipaca: right click on the ubuntu icon -> edit menu
[21:04] <vipaca> jrib: awesome
[21:04] <danbh_intrepid> leethal: maybe start here http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/  : )
[21:04] <TheMusicGuy> Packets from the DNS make it to my laptop, but then the laptop doesn't forward them to the palm like it should.
[21:04] <TheMusicGuy> I can ping the DNS from the palm just fine
[21:05] <leethal> danbh_intrepid: seen http://wubi-installer.org/ ?
[21:05] <leethal> looks sensible as well
[21:06] <danbh_intrepid> leethal: yes, that will install ubuntu inside windows
[21:06] <vipaca> vinagre --help-all
[21:06] <leethal> hm, no options for partitioning etc
[21:06] <vipaca> kinda helpful but not fully enlightening
[21:06] <leethal> I'll go with unetbootin I think
[21:06] <Codemaster|Mobil> for some reason, whenever i set a wallpaper, i only get the color background, not the actual image
[21:07] <danbh_intrepid> leethal: thats the point.  Its for just trying out ubuntu, if you arent sure about it.  It makes it easy to remove if you just want to return to windows (at least thats my understanding)
[21:07] <Codemaster|Mobil> ie - if the color background is set to black and i try to select an image, the background stays black instead of displaying the background image
[21:08] <vipaca> Im assuming that it uses some kinda standard .vnc file and information on this would be awesome
[21:08] <Sl4y3r> need some help mounting a second hard drive
[21:08] <leethal> danbh_intrepid: I see
[21:08]  * tbone-atl would love to find a hardy package for mongrel-cluster
[21:08] <Zach> Hey guys, anyone know how I can get my computer to see wireless networks with Hardy instead of me having to enter the networks name?
[21:08] <vipaca> my experience however is that this is a directory not a file
[21:09] <DasE1> ﻿Sl4y3r: go ahead, open a terminal, attach drive...
[21:09] <Sl4y3r> ive tried the sudo mount /dev/sdb command but it says its not listed in fstab
[21:09] <FarmCretin> hi, im using ubuntu server and would like to unmount my external HDD. its located at /dev/sdb
[21:09] <lwizardl> Hello

[21:10] <Sl4y3r> k
[21:10] <Oilfurnace> is ubuntu written in  C+++?
[21:10] <Sl4y3r> done
[21:10] <lwizardl> whats better to share printers printer hooked to Ubuntu and shared with windows or printer hooked to windows and shared with ubuntu?
[21:10] <jrib> Oilfurnace: ubuntu is a collection of many programs written in many many languages
[21:10] <DasE1> !who|﻿Sl4y3r
[21:10] <DasE1> ﻿Sl4y3r:  sudo fdisk -l
[21:10] <Sl4y3r> sorry its done Dase1
[21:10] <Zach> How do I browse wifi connections, instead of entering ESSID everytime?
[21:11] <jrib> Oilfurnace: a lot of the ubuntu developers like to use python though
[21:11] <DasE1> ﻿Sl4y3r:  correct with /dev/sdb ?
[21:11] <Jordan_U> Zach: Do you see a network-manager applet at the top right of your screen?
[21:11] <Zach> Jordan, no just the Manual Network Configuration
[21:11] <Zach> I can't figure out how to enable that service
[21:12] <Zach> I'm very new
[21:12] <Jordan_U> Zach: Try running "nm-applet" in a terminal

[21:13] <Zach> Jordan a blank prompt actually
[21:13] <eeenico> can I resize an ubuntu root partition from a live cd?
[21:14] <deathtech> Hey Guys, still getting quite a bit of heat despite the suggestions to disable compiz effects. I am running on a Dell XPS M1730 With Dual 8700 M GT's, Temp in Vista With Dig Vibrance , Dreamscene with HD vid playing, object bar and all aero effects is around 61 - 64, Nix is about 10 degrees more (71-74) . I have installed the latest 177.80 Driver and still the temp is all around much hotter, please help, as this is a deal breaker for nix on my laptop
[21:14] <deathtech>  (although my server will stay the same :) )
[21:14] <Jordan_U> eeenico: Yes, use gparted
[21:14] <eeenico> gparted doesn't seem to be working
[21:14] <^Cheeky> iam trying to use icecream and i used this command to play and save the file into tracks using this program but vlc opened and i got an error Unrecognized format for 'file:/dev/stdin' could any one give me hand ?
[21:14] <ilembitov> Hi, does anybody knows, will OpenOffice 3 make its way to Ubuntu 8.10?
[21:15] <vipaca> So I take it know one knows howto do this
[21:15] <Jordan_U> deathtech: Does CPU usage seem to be high? If so what processes are using the most CPU?
[21:15] <Jordan_U> vipaca: What are you trying to do?
[21:15] <natalisushka> how can I create a direct wireless connection between two ubuntu boxes?
[21:16] <deathtech> jordan_U : I didnt notice a lot of cpu usage, its seems to be pretty good, but to be honest i didnt really monitor it as much as it was the GPU Chips that appear to be getting hot (CPU temp is fine)
[21:16] <natalisushka> how can I create a direct wireless connection between two ubuntu laptops?
[21:16] <Jordan_U> deathtech: Does your card have a low power mode?
[21:16] <IntuitiveNipple> natalisushka: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Adhoc
[21:16] <Zach> Jordan_U: nw-applet just says "bash: nw-applet: command not found"
[21:17] <deathtech> jordan_U : Yes sir, there is 3 modes available, Low Power 2d, Low power 3d, and 3d PErformance. Mind you , this is a SLi Setup with dual 8700 M GT's (Mobile)
[21:17] <Grrr> Hello i have a problem with apt-get, i installed a server for the second time but for some reason this time when ever i try apt-get i get a "E: Couldn't find package" error
[21:17] <Jordan_U> Zach: nm-applet , not nWapplet ( stands for network-manager )
[21:17] <Grrr> anyone can help?
[21:17] <jrib> Grrr: what command are you running?
[21:17] <Grrr> sudo apt-get install gcc
[21:17] <Grrr> for example
[21:17] <Grrr> as i dont have gcc
[21:18] <Zach> Oh, now i jsut have two Manual Network Configurations
[21:18] <jrib> Grrr: run 'sudo apt-get update'.  Then try again.  If it still fails, pastebin the contents of /etc/apt/sources.list
[21:18] <deathtech> it is using 3d perf mode, but windows does the same mode ( GPU @ 625 Mhz, Mem @ 799, Shader Procs @ 1250)
[21:18] <Jordan_U> deathtech: I don't have an nvidia card but there is probably a way to change the mode, have you tried doing this?
[21:18] <jrib> !who | Grrr
[21:18] <jrib> Grrr: you should install build-essential instead of just gcc by the way
[21:19] <Jordan_U> Zach: What do you mean "two manual network configurations" ?
[21:19] <Grrr> jrib : ok thanks i will do that its called ' build-essential' ?
[21:19] <deathtech> Jordan_U : i can do that jordan, for the sake of using it, but that is what bothers me, Windows is using the same exact settings, and getting more than 10 Degrees less temp than nix
[21:19] <jrib> Grrr: yeah
[21:19] <deathtech> Jordan_U : At least i can search around for how to do it :)
[21:19] <Zach> Jordan_U Two icons for the Manual Network Configurations
[21:19] <msikma_> Anybody here who runs Ubuntu on a Titanium Powerbook?
[21:19] <Grrr> jrib : ok after i used the update it seems to work, thanks!
[21:19] <Zach> :-(
[21:19] <IntuitiveNipple> deathtech: How are you measuring the temperature? Is it possible the program reporting the value isn't accurate?
[21:20] <DCPom> !anyone | msikma_
[21:20] <slayton> UBUNTU!
[21:20] <gausie> When i log in to Hardy, for some thousands of "xmodmap" processes are run (i think each one spawns the next one).. I can get rid of it with killall sending the signal CHLD, but I want to know how to fix the problem permenantly - and ideas?
[21:20] <DasE1> !ubuntu
[21:21] <msikma_> Frustrating... my X server still cannot start, even though I know which card I have (ATI Technologies Inc. Rage Mobility M3 AGP 2x (rev 02))...
[21:21] <slayton> UBUNTU!
[21:21] <tsrk> If I run ubuntu with virtualbox installed w/ a windows xp guest, can I sync my ipod with itunes on the guest?
[21:21] <deathtech> IntuitiveNipple : it appears Linux is reporting incorrect values, as i can literally feel more heat in the OS after using it for about 5 mins. What ive done is rebooted to windows, ran Nvidia System tools, and the temp begins going down and the laptop is physically much cooler, byt the time i reboot (vista ultimate boots in about 25 secs for me) temp guage shows around 71
[21:21] <msikma_> I tried a bunch of things but it just won't work.  It says it can't enable the fb, it doesn't find any screens...
[21:21] <Zach> Jordan_U Yesterday I accidentally got my internet driver to work, I have no idea if I did something to that or not, but for me, the network manager only lets me type what network I want to connect to
[21:21] <Grrr> how can i search for a package using apt?
[21:21] <Jordan_U> Zach: That icon should not be showing "manual network configurations", it should be showing a list of available networks to connect to. Go to System -> Administration -> Networking and make sure that your wireless interface is set to "roaming mode"
[21:21] <DasE1> ﻿msikma_:try to copy back an xorg.conf backup
[21:21] <jrib> !apt > Grrr
[21:21] <slayton> tsrk, if you can get USB working in windows then you should
[21:21] <jrib> tsrk: it should work, but you would need the closed source version of virtualbox from their site to get usb to work
[21:22] <ushills> grrr. suod ap-cahe search xxxx
[21:22] <tsrk> jrib, is that available as a debian package?
[21:22] <ushills> grrr. sudo apt-cache search xxxx
[21:22] <jrib> Grrr, ushills: don't need sudo to search
[21:22] <jrib> tsrk: yep, it's a .deb on virtualbox.org
[21:22] <msikma_> DasE1: this is the first boot from the installation CD.
[21:22] <Jordan_U> tsrk: There are ways to sync ipods natively in linux, what ipod version do you have?
[21:22] <deathtech> IntuitiveNipple : I can check temps in nix and they say 64 degrees, but the laptop is physically much warmer, reboot and pull up the temp monitor in windows , and it shows 71 degrees (allowing 25-30 secs for reboot i estiamte it hitting around 74)
[21:22] <IntuitiveNipple> deathtech: It sounds as if it isn't being doing 'wait' states when idle.
[21:22] <msikma_> I'm in text mode right now because the installer can't even activate X
[21:23] <tsrk> Jordan_U, ipod touch 2g, so it needs to backup as well
[21:23] <msikma_> As in, first time, without having tampered with xorg
[21:23] <tsrk> pretty sure i can't on ubuntu
[21:23] <DasE1> msikma_:did you check cd for defects ?
[21:23] <DasE1> did*
[21:23] <tsrk> jrib, ok I found it, thanks
[21:23] <tsrk> why isn't it open source though?
[21:23] <tsrk> when the rest is?
[21:23] <deathtech> IntuitiveNipple : Interesting. Is tehre anyway to force this mode ? im using the latest 177.80 Driver straight from nvidia
[21:24] <msikma_> DasE1: I very sincerely doubt it's a CD fault.  I just made this from the ISO.
[21:24] <DasE1> msikma_: hardy ? which ATI-card ?
[21:24] <lashi> hi everyone!
[21:24] <tsrk> msikma_, cd burning tends to have problems
[21:24] <msikma_> ATI Technologies Inc. Rage Mobility M3 AGP 2x (rev 02)
[21:24] <msikma_> Using 8.04
[21:25] <lashi> Just wondering - anyone got an idea how to change my keyboard so I can type Umlauts etc? I don't want to change language
[21:25] <jokkaa> Im trying to burn an audio cd with brasero.. but when im adding songs to the list it says "Make sure the appropriate codec is installed." and the song wont add.. how can i instrall the proper codecs?
[21:25] <DasE1> msikma_: use the cds option to check disc
[21:25] <lashi> I googled it, and it told me to seelect English + Internation in System -> Preference -> Keyboad
[21:25] <lashi> but I don't see the option
[21:25] <lashi> :S
[21:25] <msikma_> DasE1: how would I do this in the text mode console?
[21:26] <ushills> jokkaa. ther is a whole section on the ubuntu wiki about restricted formats
[21:26] <deathtech> IntuitiveNipple : Be Nice if maybe i could control the fans or something to have them come on more or faster, or if the wait mode your talking about can be initiated
[21:26] <deathtech> Anyone Else runninng nix on a Dell XPS M1730 with Dual 8700 M GT's ?
[21:27] <lashi> msikma_, mind running yor problem by me msikma? I might be able to help
[21:27] <msikma_> lashi: hi there!  My problem is related to the fact I'm trying to run 8.04 using a Titanium Powerbook
[21:27] <lashi> yeap
[21:27] <msikma_> ATI Technologies Inc. Rage Mobility M3 AGP 2x (rev 02) is the video card--X won't start
[21:27] <lashi> and?
[21:27] <Jordan_U> vipaca:  What are you trying to do?
[21:27] <lashi> 1 sec, let me check msikma
[21:27] <msikma_> This is a fresh boot from the install CD
[21:27] <IntuitiveNipple> deathtech: I know this is probably not the most helpful suggestion, since it seems to be OK with Windows, but have you checked for an updated system BIOS? The reason I ask is this: http://laptoping.com/alienware-area-51-m15x-beta-bios-update.html
[21:27] <ushills> jokkaa: you can find it here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats
[21:28] <msikma_> I tried setting my xorg.conf to have an "ati" driver, tried manually setting the correct horiz/vert settings
[21:28] <Simetrical> If I can't boot my machine on newer kernels, would it be safe to upgrade to Intrepid (when that comes out) but use an old Hardy alpha kernel?
[21:28] <deathtech> intuitivenipple:  yeah i watch all driver updates almost daily. i have the most recent version for my laptop (A09 from Dell)
[21:28] <Simetrical> Or would stuff break?
[21:28] <lashi> msikma_, is this from the live CD it won't start?
[21:28] <Simetrical> I'm hoping I can boot it on Intrepid kernels, but I can't boot it on up-to-date Hardy kernels, so . . .
[21:28] <mordof> k i'm on windows xp at the moment, and i'm using Putty to ssh into my server. i can't find anything about using screen, i don't know much about it. anyone able to help me out / point me in the right direction?
[21:28] <Jordan_U> msikma_: Did you try vesa or choosing "safe graphics mode" at boot
[21:28] <msikma_> lashi: I believe this is the live CD, yes.  I just inserted it and booted, and didn't see anything for a while.  I thought it had locked up until I pressed CTRL+ALT+F1 to see tty1, whcih was working fine.\
[21:29] <lashi> ok
[21:29] <lashi> msikma, when booting the live cd
[21:29] <msikma_> Jordan_U: when I tried vesa, it said that the vesa module is not available
[21:29] <Aeosynth> Hi, I messed up something and now I can't see 'Applications' from the Gnome main menu, a folder on my panel which resided in the 'Applications' menu is empty, and ﻿I can't edit menus. I'm in Gnome failsafe mode and I still can't edit menus.
[21:29] <niche> What do I type to find out how many ordinary files, directories, and link files exist in my /usr/bin directory?
[21:29] <lashi> let me just get the livecd going on my Virtualbox - give me one second msikma, so I can give you exact instructions
[21:29] <jokkaa> ushills, googled it.. kinda easy solve ^^ thx anyway
[21:29] <guntbert> mordof: do you know what screen is for?
[21:29] <msikma_> lashi: thanks :)
[21:29] <lashi> no worries
[21:29] <venger> how can I export some functions for global use by the gnome session when it appears that the login process uses /bin/dash and ignores such functionality.  I tried ~/.gnomerc and got exported variables to work but not functions
[21:30] <Jordan_U> Simetrical: File a bug report against intrepid, the sooner you file it the more likely the problem will be fixed before intrepid is released, but please discuss intrepid in #ubuntu+1
[21:30] <Simetrical> niche, ls /usr/bin | wc -l?
[21:30] <Aeosynth> Does anyone know what I can do to fix my setup?
[21:30] <mordof> guntbert: it's to attatch/detatch a session so that things running don't stop when the session is closed isn't it?
[21:30] <mordof> guntbert: i thought once i closed my putty ssh session, it would shut off anything i was running - but i don't want that
[21:31] <lashi> msikma_, press F6 for other options
[21:31] <Simetrical> Jordan_U, I don't know if it works in Intrepid, that's the point.  I want to know whether, in general, I should upgrade even though it might mean I would have to use an old kernel with a new userspace for some reason.  Will that break or not?
[21:31] <lashi> that should drop you to an editable line
[21:31] <hydrozen> i have a mounted external harddrive but somehow it is not shown when I do "df -h"....  how else can I know how much free space there is on that thing?
[21:31] <DasE1> msikma_: use the cds option to check disc, its earlier an option at boot up >install ubuntu, check cd for defects
[21:31] <msikma_> lashi: when I start the liveCD I actually only get the ability to type "live" or just press enter--maybe I've got the alternative CD?
[21:31] <Jordan_U> venger: What are you trying to accomplish by exporting the functions? Why can't you add them to your .bashrc ?
[21:31] <lashi> maybe you haev msikma
[21:31] <niche> Simetrical, thanks, I heard I also need a grep command, do you know if that's true?
[21:31] <lashi> and that might be the issue
[21:31] <msikma_> hmmm
[21:31] <Simetrical> If it might break, I should try out the Intrepid kernel before I do the actual distribution upgrade.
[21:31] <guntbert> mordof: the main purpose (as I see) is to provide you with several screens, another one is that it keeps sessions "open", did you look at 'man screen'?
[21:31] <lashi> basically, this card shoud work fine
[21:32] <venger> Jordan_U, to my knowledge bashrc is per terminal session not parent to the enitre gnome-session
[21:32] <lashi> you should get a graphical greeter
[21:32] <msikma_> That is strange
[21:32] <lashi> and you should be able to press F6
[21:32] <matteo_> list screenlets
[21:32] <Jordan_U> Simetrical: Test out the intrepid beta, if it doesn't work file a bug report.
[21:32] <Simetrical> niche, if you actually want to exclude device files and sockets and stuff, then yeah, you need grep or find or something.  If you just want to include all files, then what I said will work.
[21:32] <mordof> guntbert: i don't know if screen should be on the client or server..
[21:32] <DasE1> msikma_: what says a uname -r in terminal ?
[21:32] <msikma_> No, I did not get a graphical greeter, but I figured that my video card was the issue there too
[21:32] <lashi> and if you do get there, delete from "quiet" all the way tto "--"
[21:32] <mordof> guntbert: i can't install things through putty, so i wasn't sure if i should grab cygwin or something
[21:32] <genii> Simetrical: You're asking a hypothetical question about a beta release and how it relates to your specific computer specs. This makes it quite difficult to answer.
[21:32] <lashi> basically to avoid the the splash screen from booting up
[21:32] <msikma_> 2.6.24-19-powerpc
[21:33] <guntbert> mordof: ok, you are in a ssh-session on your server?
[21:33] <Jordan_U> venger: But why do you want the entire gnome-session to have in it's environment functions which will only be usable in bash?
[21:33] <msikma_> to DasE1
[21:33] <Simetrical> Jordan_U, hmm, I guess if there's a kernel problem I would figure out by booting from a LiveCD.  I just hate rebooting, is the problem.  :)  Thanks, though.
[21:33] <mordof> guntbert: yes, but i've got an app running that i want to leave running when i shut off my client pc
[21:33] <lashi> no msikma_ you should get a graphica greeter regardless
[21:33] <eeenico> hey guys what's the command line to 'unmount' a drive?
[21:33] <lashi> although, maybe it's because you're on Powerpc
[21:33] <mordof> guntbert: i don't think that's possible with putty directly connected through ssh only
[21:33] <Jordan_U> eeenico: umount
[21:33] <lashi> msikma_, what other options do yo haev?
[21:33] <eeenico> umount?
[21:33] <Aeosynth> I messed something up and now my Gnome menu won't show 'Applications' and I can't edit menus. Help?
[21:33] <DasE1> msikma_: powerpc ? neither desktop nor server ? very strange
[21:33] <eeenico> thank you
[21:33] <guntbert> mordof: you have to start screen before that app
[21:34] <mordof> guntbert: so i need cygwin
[21:34] <DCPom> msikma_, are you trying to install hardy on a powerpc? I didn't think you could
[21:34] <chupy> hi, i had compiz fusion well but i unninstall it to install the git version but not serve, nothing... i reinstall the old version and neither works what can it be how can i make git compiz work?
[21:34] <Simetrical> genii, I was expecting an answer of either "it will work, all userspace binaries are compiled so they'll work with older kernels"; or "it won't work, userspace binaries will use new system calls"; or "dunno, depends".  Seems to be the latter, so I'll just be on the safe side.
[21:34] <guntbert> mordof: is it an X app?
[21:34] <lashi> why not DCPom ?
[21:34] <msikma_> lashi: the normal option doesn't work--it freezes.  It tells me a slightly different boot command, so I use it.  Which starts the CD and allows me to log into text mode like now.
[21:34] <mordof> guntbert: nope, my server doesn't have X
[21:34] <DCPom> msikma_, you have to use dapper
[21:34] <DCPom> lashi, powerpc's don't have intel support...
[21:35] <msikma_> DCPom: this is the "official unofficial" version I believe.  The community port of 8.04 for PPC, yet it's still on Ubuntu's servers
[21:35] <msikma_> Which version is dapper?
[21:35] <DCPom> msikma_, link?
[21:35] <lashi> DCPom, I know, I used to own an Ibook, but I ran debian on that
[21:35] <msikma_> 7.10?
[21:35] <guntbert> mordof: so you don't need cygwin. please start a new ssh session on your server
[21:35] <noodlesgc> msikma_ 6.06 i believe
[21:35] <chupy>  i had compiz fusion well but i unninstall it to install the git version but not serve, nothing... i reinstall the old version and neither works what can it be how can i make git compiz work?
[21:35] <DasE1>  gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel﻿  ,Aeosynth
[21:35] <mordof> guntbert: ok, got one open atm
[21:35] <n3hima> can somebody tell me why postfix is dropping connections on non-loopback interfaces?
[21:35] <msikma_> Alright, well
[21:35] <deathtech> intuitivenipple: Can you recommend a good Temperature monitor for use in ubuntu for my system (graphics cards included hopefully)
[21:35] <lashi> But one second
[21:35] <lashi> DCPom, her kernel is booting, she's getting tty1
[21:35] <msikma_> I think I should just get the latest official PPC version
[21:35] <venger> Jordan_U, if they were available to a bash script in any given launcher without any redundant code then i would achieve my objective but it seems here really that dash will prevent this anyway
[21:36] <guntbert> mordof: now type 'screen'
[21:36] <Pici> chupy: You'd be better off asking for help in #compiz-fusion than here.
[21:36] <lashi> so, that means that whatever they've got (Hardy I think) is booting
[21:36] <VincentBL> Hey everyone, I'm on the Ubuntu Live CD at the moment. For some reason, neither the Installer nor GParted can detect my partitions, but Nautilus shows them all correctly and so does fdisk -l. The partitionning tools just show an empty disk. Any clue on how to fix that?
[21:36] <chupy> ok jajajaj thanks
[21:36] <msikma_> lashi: yes indeed, it does work.  That's how I'm talking to you right now :)
[21:36] <lashi> so, it's not powerpcl issue
[21:36] <lashi> :D
[21:36] <mordof> guntbert: not installed, i should install it on my server?
[21:36] <lashi> exactly, so this isn't an architecture problem
[21:36] <DasE1> ﻿deathtech:conky and gkrellm might be the apps you're looking for
[21:36] <DCPom> msikma_, where did you get the hardy for ppc? i have an ibook that is running OS X.4 now
[21:37] <deathtech> kk, brb booting into nix to try it
[21:37] <msikma_> DCPom: just a second, I'll walk over to my other computer and see where I downloaded it from
[21:37] <IntuitiveNipple> deathtech: The nvidia-settings one I'd think would be the one to trust. I've been doing some Googling... not found anything specific as yet, but this thread offers some 'hints' when the contributors talk about power-mizer and multiple GPUs: http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=109514
[21:37] <lashi> msikma_, it's weird that this is happening - you've got to try and figure out what cd you've got
[21:37] <guntbert> mordof: yes you need it on your server, but I'm surprised, I thought its installed nearly everywhere
[21:37] <lashi> Maybe!
[21:37] <Jordan_U> venger: Launchers do not invoke a shell, they execute commands directly. They would not be able to use a bash function unless you called bash explicitly, in which case a .bashrc would suffice
[21:37] <lashi> youc an type live vga=1
[21:37] <lashi> that might pass vga=1 as a kernel option...
[21:37] <Dada_> DCPom: this is msikma_, and I got the image from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ports/releases/hardy/release/ubuntu-8.04.1-desktop-powerpc.iso
[21:37] <deathtech> intuitivenipple: i really appreciate your help, im rebooting now into nix and will brb
[21:37] <mordof> guntbert: i installed ubuntu server install, with the bare minimum. only the apps i need and the minimal core of ubuntu is installed
[21:38] <Dada_> DCPom: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ports/releases/hardy/release/
[21:38] <guntbert> mordof: ok, so install screen please
[21:38] <mordof> guntbert: installed
[21:38] <lashi> Dada, try booting it with that option, see what happens
[21:38] <Dada_> This is the live CD for PPC of Ubuntu 8.04
[21:38] <VincentBL> No clue on why the Ubuntu Live CD partitionning tools can't see my partitions, anyone?
[21:38] <Dada_> lashi: with which option?
[21:38] <guntbert> mordof: now type 'screen'
[21:38] <Dada_> oh
[21:38] <DCPom> Dada_, that's weird, it wasn't there the last time I tried to install
[21:38] <Dada_> vga=1
[21:38] <lashi> Dada_,: live vga=1
[21:38] <lashi> try that?
[21:38] <lashi> :S
[21:38] <Dada_> DCPom: I believe it's not officially sanctioned by Canonical
[21:39] <DasE1> msikma_: you run a mac ?
[21:39] <Dada_> Yet still hosted on Ubuntu
[21:39] <Dada_> DasE1: right now I am
[21:39] <DCPom> Dada_, oh i see
[21:39] <lashi> does anyone have any idea bout my international keyboard problem?
[21:39] <lashi> :S
[21:39] <guntbert> mordof: ?
[21:39] <Dada_> Hmm, well, time to try some things
[21:39] <mordof> guntbert: ok.. done. so, my terminal is now in a new screen session thingy?
[21:39] <BitWraith> does anybody here use Lubi? (Wubi for Linux)
[21:39] <DasE1> al right then, have no experience with the installe, but will dld one to see its options, Dada_
[21:40] <BitWraith> I need to see a known working grub.conf/menu.lst
[21:40] <genii> Gah. As if regular wubi needed to have forks
[21:40] <hydrozen> /quit
[21:40] <Winol> hey guys ! is there a nice website for noobies that want to learn ubuntu please ?
[21:40] <guntbert> mordof: now try the following: 1) start top, 2) type <CTRL>A C 3) <CTRL>A N
[21:41] <VincentBL> Winol: It's called the documentation.
[21:41] <perlsyntax> Does anyone know how to get the gforce driver to work on unbuntu 8.10?
[21:41] <ushills> Winol, Ubuntu forums - absolute beginers
[21:41] <jesselucas> I'm using ssh id_rsa keys for passwordless ssh to my two ubuntu servers and two workstations. I created a public private key on one workstation and just copied the public keys to the servers and the same private key to both workstations. is that the best method? Or should I have created a new key for each workstation?
[21:41] <mordof> guntbert: ok, ctrl+a then c takes me to a new window, ctrl+a then n takes me back
[21:41] <Zaiden> Does anyone know if PCSX works in Ubuntu AMD64
[21:42] <BitWraith> I find it so incredibly frustrating that lubi is out there, but nobody seems to have documented how it gets grub to boot the image
[21:42] <Dada_> Right, now let's see if this works
[21:42] <Cerberus_> jesselucas: you should use unique keys....
[21:42] <mordof> guntbert: now.. i'd like to close this ssh session completely while top is running, then get that window back
[21:42] <guntbert> mordof: right, now close the session (not <CTRLL>D, but just close)
[21:42] <perlsyntax> anyone
[21:42] <mordof> guntbert: k, closed. now open a new one?
[21:42] <matisse> hi
[21:42] <VincentBL> Looking for help. Trying to partition using GParted or the Installer on the LiveCD, but my partitions are not detected. Anyone
[21:43] <guntbert> mordof: yes, start a new one and type 'screen -R'
[21:43] <perlsyntax> does anyone know how to get the gfore driver to work on unbuntu 8.10?
[21:43] <jesselucas> Cerberus_: How do I add the new workstation to my authorized_keys for my home directory? All workstations and servers use the same username
[21:43] <venger> Jordan_U, so if i make launcher point to a bash script it will execute .bash upon launch? and i suppose if so i would need it before the if [ -z PS1 ] call perhaps
[21:43] <DasE1> ﻿VincentBL: what does fdisk -l say ?
[21:43] <perlsyntax> it will not download
[21:43] <mordof> guntbert: :D:D
[21:43] <venger> s/.bash/.bashrc
[21:43] <DasE1> ﻿VincentBL: what does sudo fdisk -l say ?
[21:43] <perlsyntax> ?
[21:44] <VincentBL> DasE1, the're all there. fdisk and nautilus can see the partitions perfectly
[21:44] <Cerberus_> jesselucas: this was helpful to me:  http://blogs.translucentcode.org/mick/archives/000230.html
[21:44] <Cheiron> Title: Shortest passwordless ssh tutorial, ever
[21:44] <jesselucas> Cerberus_: Thank you!
[21:44] <perlsyntax> hello
[21:44] <matisse> It seems to be not possible to open a ssh-connection from a shell which is already connected via ssh to another computer, am I right ?
[21:44] <DasE1> ﻿ perlsyntax: the xorg 7.4 is the prob, stay with hardy and see:
[21:44] <DasE1> !ibex
[21:44] <Jordan_U> venger: Yes
[21:44] <mordof> guntbert: so.. what are the two shortcuts for specifically that you told me to do before?
[21:44] <perlsyntax> it no prob with without 3D
[21:44] <perlsyntax> thanks any ways
[21:44] <lungan> Have som problems with ubuntu, just installed azureus and mercury, and some characters in azureus is like in russian style, and when I start mercury all the characters are like squares
[21:44] <guntbert> mordof: within screen you create more sessions with ctrl+a c, close a session with ctrl+d, the last one terminates screen itself
[21:45] <MTecknology> I used bluetooth-applet to pair my phone and computer. I know it works bacause I grabbed files off of it. Now I want to setup blueproximity but when I scan for devices, it doesn't see my phone.
[21:45] <DasE1> ﻿VincentBL: and gparted doesnt show them ? choosen wrong device in gparted ?
[21:45] <matisse> my shell -- ssh --> server A -- ssh --> server B
[21:45] <guntbert> mordof: ctrl+a N = next, ctrl+a P  = previous, but please read 'man screen' or at least 'screen --help' for more details
[21:46] <noriyuki> hey anders__
[21:46] <VincentBL> DasE1: No. Only one hard drive on my laptop and it's the one that shows in GPartedwith the right size but it shows as empty.
[21:46] <Tim-S> if I imported my secret key from another computer, how can I generate a public key with that?
[21:46] <noriyuki> anders__, I solved my problem already
[21:46] <anders__> noriyuki, what was the problem?
[21:46] <cpbtklogic> Anyone know how I can uninstall the complete xubuntu meta-package (and everything it installed?)
[21:46] <anchoragez> why does not ubuntu have a central control panel?
[21:47] <cpbtklogic> I seem to be having a fight between xfce's gtk engine and ubuntu's
[21:47] <Cerberus_> cpbtklogic: i think the package is called xubuntu-desktop    so apt-get remove xubuntu-desktop i think should do it
[21:47] <Kl4m> cpb: apt-get remove xubuntu-desktop && apt-get autoremove
[21:47] <noriyuki> anders__, is a little more complicated than just re installing but it is still easy
[21:47] <lungan> Have som problems with ubuntu, just installed azureus and mercury, and some characters in azureus is like in russian style, and when I start mercury all the characters are like squares
[21:47] <Kl4m> cpbtklogic: : apt-get remove xubuntu-desktop && apt-get autoremove
[21:47] <DasE1> ﻿VincentBL: you saw the little window in gparted's title-bar that allows you change viewed hd ?
[21:47] <noriyuki> anders__, you have to modify some things in the bluetooth archive
[21:47] <noriyuki> then restart
[21:47] <mordof> guntbert: so ctrl a+ C = create, ctrl+a N = next, ctrl+a P = previos, ctrl+d = (delete) or destroy? i'm guessing.  i'll make sure to read the man screen shortly ^^ mainly the issue was i didn't know how i was supposed to get it set up, whether client or server needed the program itself
[21:47] <noriyuki> and VOILA! hehe
[21:47] <cpbtklogic> only one package removed
[21:47] <mordof> so, now that that's taken care of, i'll go over the details of it. ty very much
[21:48] <cpbtklogic> xubuntu-desktop is a meta package
[21:48] <guntbert> matisse: that certainly is possible (generally), what are you trying to do?
[21:48] <Winol> thanks
[21:48] <guntbert> mordof: yw :)
[21:48] <VincentBL> DasE1: As I said, /dev/sda is selected in GParted and that's my only hard drive anyway.
[21:48] <jrib> mordof: all you need is ctrl-a ?
[21:48] <Nanojit>  Once in a while, my wifi on the AAO will stop working and won't connect again to my AP. Restarting doesn't work and messages about not being able to reset the wifi card appear in dmesg. Powering off and powering on again seems to get wifi working again. Anyone else experiencing this?
[21:48] <Kl4m> cpbtklogic: the line that removes the rest is apt-get autoremove
[21:48]  * Nanojit running Intrepid with latest kernel and ath5k.
[21:48] <mordof> jrib: not sure what you mean, but if things get changed on me now i'll be confused.
[21:49] <lungan> Have som problems with ubuntu, just installed azureus and mercury, and some characters in azureus is like in russian style, and when I start mercury all the characters are like squares
[21:49] <cpbtklogic> no... autoremove is only for orphaned packages.
[21:49] <cpbtklogic> it doesn't do anything/.
[21:49] <cpbtklogic> :-(
[21:49] <matisse> guntbert: first ssh-connection is to get a another ip to be not refused by server B
[21:49] <jrib> mordof: press 'ctrl-a', then '?' in screen.  It will show you most of the shortcuts
[21:49] <cpbtklogic> guess I'm screwed.
[21:49] <DasE1> ﻿VincentBL: you saw the little window in gparted's title-bar that allows you change viewed hd ?
[21:49] <mordof> jrib: ah
[21:50] <lungan> Why are all my characters in mercury looking like squares?
[21:50] <DCPom> lungan, try installing msttcorefonts, it may not have the fonts it needs
[21:50] <VincentBL> DasE1: I just ﻿told you I did have it set to the right hd
[21:50] <DasE1> ﻿VincentBL: if that doesn't do,  close gparted, open a terminal
[21:50] <matisse> guntbert: if I trying to do that the shell gets stuck
[21:50] <Dada_> Well DasE1: I tried running it with vga=1 and now I seem to get a little more response, but the X server shows only a large glitch.  Still, it finds a screen.  So at least there's some progress!
[21:50] <Docal> Can an upgrade be performed from 7.10 to 8.04 without having to burn media?
[21:50] <leethal> so, umm, I installed ubuntu with the network install stuff, and it seems like that didn't install gnome. Just getting the command line, no X or anything.
[21:50] <lungan> DCPom but it worked before
[21:50] <Cerberus_> Docal:  well sure
[21:51] <leethal> any short commands I can run in order to install that?
[21:51] <jrib> !upgrade > Docal
[21:51] <DasE1> ﻿VincentBL: sudo hdparm -z
[21:51] <DasE1> ﻿VincentBL: gparted
[21:51] <Docal> Thank you
[21:51] <ushills> Docal sudo apt-get upgrade /d
[21:51] <guntbert> matisse: if you open a ssh-session to one server, you practically "sit" at that server, and you can do (nearly) anything you can do directly on the console
[21:51] <jrib> leethal: install the ubuntu-desktop package
[21:51] <leethal> jrib: thanks =)
[21:51] <DCPom> lungan, what have you done differently since then? the command to install the font packages is sudo apt-get install msttcorefonts
[21:52] <DCPom> lungan, followed by sudo fc-cache -f -v
[21:52] <DasE1> Dada_: I can't help you much with macs as I don't use em , but can tell you in approx 10 min about the installer cd
[21:52] <Dada_> DasE1: that's okay, I'll do some more figuring out
[21:52] <pOOdi> ?
[21:52] <Dada_> I'm sure it's possible
[21:53] <DasE1> ﻿VincentBL: any changes now ?
[21:53] <egoflux> i just pluged in my s-video to the tv and even though there is a second display detected, there is no putput to the tv...
[21:53] <VincentBL> DasE1: hdparm -z required a device parameter. I put in sda since it's the hd with the partitions but it says the disk is busy
[21:53] <matisse> guntbert: now it works... well earlier today the 2nd connection hung at "debug1: Entering interactive session."
 and trying know, i dont remember what i did but nothing special i think :S
[21:54] <guntbert> matisse: sweet :)
[21:54] <DCPom> lungan, you could just try reinstalling if the font packages didn't work
 It worked and thank you so much
[21:54] <Nanojit>  Once in a while, my wifi on the AAO will stop working and won't connect again to my AP.

[21:54] <leethal> jrib: it's downloading openoffice and stuff, guess I have to live with that? ; )
[21:54] <matisse> :)
[21:54] <DCPom> lungan, np
[21:54] <DasE1> ﻿VincentBL: what gives sudo fdisk -l exctly for the /dev/sdXX  out ?
[21:55] <^Cheeky> can anyone help me with VM in ubuntu i installed xp as a VM , it works fine but when i plug in my usb web cam it doent pop up in windows could some one please help me ?
[21:55] <jrib> leethal: well, it will get you what the regular install has with ubuntu desktop.  In retrospect that may not have been what you wanted?
[21:55] <leethal> jrib: it's not like having open office is a problem, so it's ok I guess
[21:55] <IntuitiveNipple> ^Cheeky: It depends what VM hypervisor you're using
 But azureus still have that kind of russian charachters, not all of them are russian, but for example "file" is writen with russian characters
[21:56] <Kl4m> ^Cheeky: what Virtual machine software are you using?
[21:56] <VincentBL> A list of sda's from 1 to 8, all my partitions. sda1 is FAT32, 2 and 3 are NTFS, , 4 is Ext'd, 5 is Unknown, 6 is Swap, 7 and 8 are Ext3
[21:56] <egoflux> anyone?
[21:56] <leethal> jrib: seeing that it aso installs alsa etc, I guess it makes sense.
[21:56] <VincentBL> DasE1: ﻿A list of sda's from 1 to 8, all my partitions. sda1 is FAT32, 2 and 3 are NTFS, , 4 is Ext'd, 5 is Unknown, 6 is Swap, 7 and 8 are Ext3
[21:56] <DCPom> lungan, there area few more font packages you can try installing
[21:57] <DasE1> ﻿VincentBL: sudo hdparm -z /dev/sda

[22:19] <ConstantineXVI_> DigiFly_: not until 8.10, at the least.
[22:19] <meoblast001> ConstantineXVI_: well when i try to copy my Playstation CD's so i can run them in PSX without my external CD drive, programs always complain about some file
[22:19] <meoblast001> for example
[22:19] <meoblast001> genisoimage: Input/output error. Cannot read from '/media/cdrom/stream.ixa'
[22:20] <ConstantineXVI_> meoblast001: you know a virgin playstation can't run backups, right?
[22:20] <Aeosynth> DCPom: thanks, it's working now. I think the issue was that I didn't have any free space left (after 8gig dl) so I couldn't save any new settings
[22:21] <DasE1> Dada_: I can't help you much with macs as I don't use em ,also a pc doesn't boot it, but indeed I couldn't find a check-option it its bootmenu
[22:21] <meoblast001> ConstantineXVI_: ?
[22:21] <Dada_> DasE1: not sure if you saw my message earlier, but I managed to get X to work comfortably
 already did that. i have libdvdcss2 installed
[22:22] <DasE1> Dada_: good to hear, I haven't seen
[22:22] <Dada_> DasE1: it was a matter of setting vga=1 at boot and then finding out the exact specs of the built-in monitor as well as some other xorg.conf settings
[22:22] <Dada_> I'll make a post about it later on the forums
[22:22] <Dada_> For posterity
[22:22] <ConstantineXVI_> meoblast001: as in, you can't copy playstation cds and play them without modifying your playstation
[22:23] <DasE1> Dada_: very oftwen a bad burn is the prob, so its bad not to havwe a checker on tht kinda disc-installer
[22:23] <jrib> stickboy: is this a dvd with css (some commercial movie)?
[22:23] <meoblast001> ConstantineXVI_: uhh.... this is my PC... they can copy CD's
[22:23] <Dada_> I'll try that later, though for now I'll try installing
[22:23] <ConstantineXVI_> meoblast001: oh, PSX is the hardware, are you thinking of PCSX?
[22:23] <meoblast001> ConstantineXVI: im copying these so i can run them in a PSX (software) program
 i got it from netflix. other netflix movies have worked in the past. (it's in bruges)
[22:23] <meoblast001> sorry.. the hardware is PSX... the software is pSX
[22:23] <DasE1> Dada_: as i said, the installer doesn't has this opton in his boot file
[22:23] <PoisonArrow> Can anyone tell me how to check a file sysmte id, such as /dev/hda2?
[22:24] <Dada_> DasE1: I did think I saw it, though
[22:24] <DasE1> ﻿PoisonArrow: uuid ?
[22:25] <ConstantineXVI_> meoblast001: try this: "cat /dev/cdrom0 > foobar.iso", foobar being what you want to call the file
[22:25] <PoisonArrow> DasE1, thanks i will try
[22:25] <meoblast001> ConstantineXVI_: h/o im rooting the ISO process.. then ill try that if this doesnt work
[22:25] <PoisonArrow> DasE1, command dont work
[22:27] <JDahl> is there a GUI way to have additional partitions automatically mounted (with appropriated proporties for a single user system),  or do I have to manually edit fstab?
[22:27] <DasE1> ﻿PoisonArrow:that wasn't a cmd, do u want the disk identifier (uuid) or check the fs ?
[22:27] <meoblast001> ConstantineXVI_: Input/output error
[22:28] <DasE1> JDahl: fstab
[22:29] <DasE1> JDahl: you might google ntfs-config, but in my eyes its more hassle then edit fstab once
[22:29] <DasE1> ﻿PoisonArrow: ?
[22:30] <JDahl> DasE1, thanks,  I was just wondering if there was an obvious ubuntu tool I'd missed;
[22:30] <DasE1> Dada_: saw my pm ?
[22:30] <JDahl> DasE1, it is an ext3 partitiong, though
[22:31] <Dada_> DasE1: yes, thanks, I think I'll be trying something tomorrow
[22:31] <DasE1> JDahl: need help with fstab ?
[22:32] <JDahl> DasE1, I can probably figure it out from google
[22:32] <PoisonArrow> DasE1, I found it thanks, its fdisk -l ^^ for some reason when i do a mkswap, it says the uuid=asdfa, which is incorect, I check the uuid of that particular partition and it is different, how can I change it?
[22:32] <sd32> haha... 15 different live distros all boot on my system...except mandriva..lol
[22:33] <DasE1> ﻿PoisonArrow: sudo blkid for the right, put in fstab
[22:33] <PoisonArrow> k
[22:33] <jj_> hi lads ... I have a question... :)
[22:34] <DasE1> !ask
[22:35] <DasE1> JDahl: could pm me , its a 10 min usually
 any ideas? not even vlc will work.
[22:35] <jj_> rapidfire - where i can some settings for that plug-in ??
[22:35] <meoblast001> what do i do in fstab so i can copy any file i want of a cd?
[22:36] <jrib> stickboy: not really.  If other DVDs work, and this one works in XP all I can suggest is googling the error.  Can you pastebin the full output you are getting?
[22:37] <Dreamglider_> i have a problem with jerky dvd play bact, i have MDA enabled.
[22:37] <Dreamglider_> i manage to cure some of the jerking by unplugging one of the cd rom drives but it is still far from good.
[22:38] <stickboy> jrib : i googled it and it seems all the problems are solved by using vlc but that won't work for me. how do i play the dvd using terminal?
[22:38] <jrib> stickboy: mplayer dvd://  if you have mplayer
[22:41] <stickboy> jrib : http://paste.ubuntu.com/56112/ all it says, never opens anything
[22:42] <jrib> stickboy: what command did you run?
[22:43] <DasE1> stickyboy: vlc is strange, ubuntu-restricted-extras installed ?   digge through /var/log/syslog - file  for errors ?

[22:44] <jrib> stickboy: nah, just 'mplayer dvd://'
[22:44] <thetrav> ext3 ?  Is that a file system?

[22:45] <stickboy> jrib : same output as before
[22:45] <Sapient> I heard that it was unsafe to add . to your execution path... is this true?
[22:45] <jrib> stickboy: it shouldn't be the same, pastebin
[22:45] <HymnToLife> Sapient: yes
[22:46] <Dreamglider_> will me installing 8.04 fix the jerky dvd playback ?
[22:46] <IntuitiveNipple> damijit: Note: there are JDK packages (Sun JDK and OpenJDK) in the archives, but for that file you'd do something like: "chmod a+x jdk-6u7-nb-6_1-linux-ml.sh && sudo ./jdk-6u7-nb-6_1-linux-ml.sh"
[22:46] <Sapient> HymnToLife: why is it unsafe and how unsafe is it (just curious) ?

[22:47] <jrib> ElijahDuBarryVT: (it won't really do anything though :))
[22:47] <damijit> IntuitiveNipple: OK, what are the archives and how do I install from them? Also, can I get Netbeans from the archives?
[22:47] <Sapient> HymnToLife: "." isn't exactly a great search keyword...
[22:48] <Sapient> otherwise I wouldn't ask in here
[22:48] <kitche> Sapient: really there is no need to put . in your PATH use the full path instead
[22:48] <jrib> stickboy: hmm, do you get a window if you specify a particular title.  Like with: mplayer dvd://1    (2,3,... etc)
[22:48] <stickboy> jrib : http://paste.ubuntu.com/56118/
[22:49] <IntuitiveNipple> damijit: "sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk netbeans" - see http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/sun-java6-jdk and http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/netbeans
[22:49] <stickboy> jrib : no i don't
[22:49] <jrib> stickboy: yeah, your last pastebin tells us the real problem.  I don't know about it.  You have to scour for info on why dvdcss fails to crack some keys

[22:58] <Omoikane_> I saw a few screens of Ibex that had a theme that looked like panes of glass for windows. I was wondering if that can be done.
[22:58] <Blaenk> hey guys I'm trying to create a system link of a script to my /usr/bin so that I can execute it by just calling 'myscript', I did sudo ln -s trace.py /usr/bin/trace
[22:58] <Blaenk> but it doesn't seem to work
[22:59] <Blaenk> when I cat the script, /usr/bin/trace, it's empty
[22:59] <jrib> Blaenk: do you want a better way to do it or do you want to figure out what you are doing wrong?
[22:59] <Blaenk> well both if it's not a bother?
[22:59] <Blaenk> any would be greatly appreciated
[23:00] <Blaenk> basically I don't want to have a copy of the script
[23:00] <LjL> like, put it in /usr/local and don't call it "trace"?
[23:00] <Blaenk> because it's a check out of a repository
[23:00] <SM411> Not anyone here that can help me?
[23:00] <Blaenk> if that makes any sense
[23:00] <Blaenk> I'll try
[23:00] <Blaenk> LjL: /usr/local/trace didn't work either
[23:00] <LjL> Blaenk: /usr/local/bin/trace
[23:00] <Blaenk> ok
[23:01] <Blaenk> same
[23:01] <jrib> Blaenk: you want to do 'ln -s TARGET NAME' where TARGET = the path to trace.py and NAME = /usr/local/bin/target
[23:01] <LjL> Blaenk: never put stuff in /usr, except for /usr/local
[23:01] <JanekMZ21> howdy, does anyone know how to get the sidebar on the right in the following image http://matthewhelmke.net/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/current-desk.png
[23:01] <Blaenk> I'm doing that, unless target must be an absolute path
[23:01] <MidnightDevil> any linux games strategy alike age of empires, for linux?
[23:01] <jrib> Blaenk: it can be relative, but it has to be in relation to /usr/local/bin/
[23:02] <Blaenk> I see
[23:02] <Blaenk> so I can't just do trace.py just because it's in the curdir
[23:02] <JanekMZ21> Midnight, you can get Red Alert for free
[23:02] <jrib> Blaenk: right
[23:02] <Blaenk> is /usr/local/bin in the PATH?
[23:02] <Blaenk> or must I add it
[23:02] <MidnightDevil> oh nea JanekMZ21, is it free?
[23:02] <Blaenk> hey it works now thanks jrib and LjL
[23:02] <Blaenk> I appreciate it
[23:02] <MidnightDevil> neat*
[23:03] <LjL> Blaenk: yes, it is
[23:03] <JanekMZ21> yeah, the original version is free
[23:03] <MidnightDevil> tks :) any others?

[23:08] <JanekMZ21> ﻿does anyone know how to get the sidebar on the right in the following image http://matthewhelmke.net/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/current-desk.png
[23:08] <kitche> JanekMZ21: it's conky
[23:08] <nutzer> NUTZER
[23:08] <JanekMZ21> thanks
[23:08] <kitche> JanekMZ21: you need to do some configuring though to get it like that
[23:08] <nutzer> NUTZER
[23:09] <JanekMZ21> is a lot of config, kitche?
[23:10] <break_free> anyone good with wireless networking?
[23:10] <kitche> JanekMZ21: well yes but you can go here http://conky.sourceforge.net/screenshots.html to get an example config to look at
[23:10] <blueeyez> any one speaking danish and good with ubuntu?
[23:10] <lucax> break_free, i got one working
[23:10] <pianoboy3333> can anyone help me enable 3d on a nvidia 7600 gt, tips in the ubuntu wiki are not helping
[23:11] <JanekMZ21> thanks
[23:11] <break_free> i'm having trouble with my wlan0, it will disconnect after a period of inactivity, then i either have to suspend or restart to get it working again
[23:11] <jrib> pianoboy3333: mine "just works"
[23:11] <pianoboy3333> jrib: I wish that was the same for me
[23:11] <jrib> pianoboy3333: you should give more details
[23:12] <lucax> break_free, if ubuntus drivers dont work properly, i would try madwifis
[23:12] <nutzer> DEUTSCH
[23:12] <blueeyez> somebody in here good with security in ubuntu?
[23:12] <pianoboy3333> jrib: ok, well glxgears outputs "Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0". Error: couldn't get an RGB, Double-buffered visual"
[23:12] <break_free> lucax, how would I go about using madwifis?
[23:13] <ElijahDuBarryVT> will I made mistake if I install ubunut-restricted-extras, kubuntu-restricted-extras and xubuntu-restricted-extras together?
[23:13] <ElijahDuBarryVT> not only ubuntu
[23:13] <jrib> ElijahDuBarryVT: nope
[23:14] <lucax> break_free, go to madwifi web page... download drivers, then sudo apt-get install build-essentials, tar xvf madwifidrivers.tar.gz,make config, make, sudo make install
[23:14] <break_free> lucax, I don't have to uninstall the default drivers?
[23:14] <lucax> break_free, theres a hwoto in the tar gz file though
[23:15] <pianoboy3333> jrib: in addition right now I have the nvidia-glx-new package installed
[23:15] <lucax> break_free, if they are third party yeah
[23:15] <jrib> pianoboy3333: pastebin /etc/X11/xorg.conf and /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[23:15] <break_free> lucax, I don't think i have third party drivers. I am running wicd though
[23:16] <lucax> break_free, try madwifi
[23:16] <break_free> is it easy to roll back if it doesn't work?
[23:16] <lwizardl> anyone getting an error about database version 36 on ipods?
[23:16] <pianoboy3333> jrib: http://paste.ubuntu.com/56121/ http://paste.ubuntu.com/56122/
[23:17] <jrib> pianoboy3333: your xorg.conf doesn't have nvidia in it
[23:18] <pianoboy3333> jrib: should I run sudo nvidia-xconfig?
[23:20] <saxonjf> Can anyone help me with compiz?
[23:20] <Nt_nT> Hey I just downloaded a program that I couldnt find in the synaptic package manager. It says it is an executable file, a setup file. How do I start it?

[23:21] <Wotanskrieger> can anyone help me with modem 56k compilation and settings?
[23:21] <cyphase> Uptime: 31 days, 22:18
[23:21] <IntuitiveNipple> damiji1: "failed" - I'd recommend solving that issue, since that points to some system issues, before installing a non-standard package and possibly interfering with system packages
[23:22] <jrib> pianoboy3333: sure, if you want
[23:22] <hanoi> hello
[23:22] <ElijahDuBarryVT> nothing can't make to play .mpeg :(
[23:22] <IntuitiveNipple> damijit: But, here's what I wrote earlier: "sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk netbeans" - see http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/sun-java6-jdk and http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/netbeans
[23:22] <IntuitiveNipple> damijit: Note: there are JDK packages (Sun JDK and OpenJDK) in the archives, but for that file you'd do something like: "chmod a+x jdk-6u7-nb-6_1-linux-ml.sh && sudo ./jdk-6u7-nb-6_1-linux-ml.sh"

[23:24] <hanoi> ﻿how to change the language to Hebrew or Arabic
[23:24] <paulproteus> I just installed Ubuntu on my Intel iBook, and I am using refit successfully.
[23:24] <Nt_nT> !install
[23:24] <paulproteus> It shows me a Linux option, but when I launch it the machine shows a penguin icon for a moment and then turns off.
[23:24] <aldipc> how do I setup a wireless connection using my build-in wireless device (intel) in ubuntu?
[23:25] <jrib> paulproteus: does linux load from bootcamp?
[23:25] <damiji1> IntuitiveNipple: I have, and I use it on Windows, but right now I'm trying to learn OpenOffice extensions, and it integrates with NetBeans
[23:25] <paulproteus> jrib, This is OS X 10.4; I don't have Bootcamp.
[23:25] <paulproteus> I only have refit.
[23:25] <jak-o> hi to all
[23:25] <paulproteus> And thanks for taking an interest (-:
[23:26] <Nt_nT> how do u start an executable file in linux?
[23:26] <aldipc> nt_nt start up a terminal!
[23:26] <mm_202> This may be a stupid question, but why is Kubuntu using 2.6.24[-21], not the latest?  (since 2.6.27 just came out...)
[23:26] <jak-o> i have installed only xorg, nvidia driver and xbmc (a mediacenter that doesn't need windowmanager), so how to autologin?
[23:26] <Nt_nT> yes that much i know :P
[23:26] <aldipc> so just type in the name
[23:27] <Nt_nT> ok
[23:27] <jrib> paulproteus: when I installed ubuntu on my macbook I found some problems.  Apparently grub doesn't get setup correctly.  I had to end up doing the "sync" or "refresh" (can't recall) option in refit and then reinstall grub on the ubuntu partition from the live cd.  My machine never turned off though, it just hung on a black screen.  Did you check the wiki for hints  (help.ubuntu.com)?
[23:27] <Nt_nT> does nothing
[23:27] <paulproteus> jrib, Oh, I didn't do anything special for grub
[23:27] <thiebaude> hi jrib
[23:27] <paulproteus> reinstall grub on the Ubuntu partition?  Sounds good to me.
[23:27] <jrib> thiebaude: hey
[23:27] <Nt_nT> its supposed to be a setup file
[23:28] <rwrw> for some reason i keep getting dbus erros telling me that dbus isent running
[23:28] <rwrw> when i run it /etc/init.d/dbus start

[23:28] <rwrw> how do i autostart dbus?

[23:29] <jrib> !alternate | neopsyche
[23:29] <ZeroanHero> im running e17, is there a way to view my windows shares?
[23:29] <jrib> neopsyche: the repos are the same for alternate and desktop, just a different install method
[23:29] <neopsyche> jrib: not torrent, i need to get the files individually
[23:29] <jrib> neopsyche: what do you need exactly?
[23:29] <Stormx2> neopsyche: There's no specific repo for the alternate install. http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/

[23:38] <Max-P> Hi all, I have a problem with my remote: It doesn't always work, it stops working after disabling wireless, and need to boot windows to make it working again on linux (Hardware off?)
[23:38] <Flare183> iamrafkid: ok What kind of problem are you having?
[23:38] <woooosh> Samba can be used as a windows domain controller... my question is: what if you are only using linux machine, how does a linux only network create a PDC ? (does that make sense)
[23:38] <jcdick> I was wondering if it was possible to "capture" an interactive process from one terminal into another without using a screen session
[23:39] <neopsyche> Flare183: i am using windows trying to get missing ubuntu packages. its ok. im using a program already.
[23:39] <mm_202> jcdick: if its not using curses, than I'd say it'd be fairly easy.
[23:39] <iamrafkid> Flare183: I cannot get vb to recognise any usb devices - it is as if they do not exist - this is after enumerable fix's
[23:39] <Flare183> neopsyche: then goto http://packages.ubuntu.com/  and get them there
[23:40] <jcdick> mm_202:  Might you have any idea what commands to use?  I started a process from a remote login at work, but forgot to kick off screen first.  Now I need to "
[23:40] <Flare183> iamrafkid: uh weird try unmounting the usb and then starting vb
[23:40] <iamrafkid> Flare183: and yet lsusb tells me they are all recognised
[23:40] <jcdick> Grrr ... take over that process now that I'm home to monitor its progress
[23:40] <jrib> iamrafkid: huh?
[23:40] <iamrafkid> Flare183: will do now
[23:40] <Flare183> k

[23:41] <neopsyche> Flare183: is this also an ok mirror?

[23:41] <iamrafkid> jrib: nah you have misunderstood somehting - my apologies - my bad
[23:41] <Flare183> neopsyche: I would use the actual ubuntu repos/packages and not mirror (sometimes the mirrors aren't updated)
[23:42] <jcdick> mm_202:  Watching the output would be fine ... I just don't know how to do it ... I could use script to capture to a file, but I want it to go from the remote session (pts/1) to my local session (pts/2)
[23:42] <neopsyche> Flare183: how do i search for packages?
[23:42] <IntuitiveNipple> iamrafkid:  see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox#USB
[23:42] <Flare183> neopsyche: Goto http://packages.ubuntu.com/ and search for the packages there

[23:43] <Flare183> wow
[23:43] <neopsyche> Flare183: there is no search box?
[23:43] <jcdick> mm_202:  Oh, that would be great!  Thanks!

[23:52] <rwrw> ok how do i generate that file then
[23:52] <unop> rwrw, it does not belong to a package, it is created when you install the system
[23:52] <Flare183> rwrw: use passwd
[23:52] <DasE1> rwrw: it gets installed automatically
[23:52] <rwrw> my got corrupted
[23:52] <Flare183> ouch
[23:52] <rwrw> or something is corrupted
[23:52] <unop> rwrw, there might be a backup at /etc/passwd- then

[23:56] <Max-P> Hi, can someone help me with my HP remote? (Works fine, but stopped working and works again only after booting windows, then stop working after a few days)
[23:56] <iamrafkid> All: I fear jrib has the answer in that VB ose does nto support usb out of the box but the binaries from Sun direct do...............knashing of teeth as eh realises another winxp instlal is coming up - night all
[23:56] <martin_r> DasE1: where to get vmware from?
[23:56] <unop> rwrw, you should never ever ever ever - edit /etc/passwd with an editor by hand
[23:56] <DasE1> ﻿ martin_r: google it
[23:56] <Flare183> Yeah
[23:56] <Flare183> lol
[23:56] <Flare183> oops sry about that
[23:56] <unop> !lol
[23:56] <Chousuke> navane: you really shouldn't do it
[23:56] <Chousuke> navane: it's the C++ standard library
[23:56] <rwrw> unop: ? why not
[23:57] <thiebaude> not irc
[23:57] <rwrw> how do you edit it then with scripts?
[23:57] <Chousuke> navane: any C++ app that depends on it will also be removed
[23:57] <Chousuke> navane: which should be quite a sizable portion of all apps on your system.
[23:57] <unop> rwrw, because you can easily make a mistake and leave /etc/passwd useless - prohibiting you from logging in, etc
[23:57] <rwrw> they dont give you a good overview, i have never had issues before, this is the first time ever, and i just started using this new editor too
[23:57] <zetheroo-ubuntu> hmm
[23:57] <rwrw> unop: i see your point
[23:57] <thiebaude> rwrw:lol, im on irc right now
[23:57] <out0flaw> Is the network manager in Ubuntu 8.04 capable of doing everything that wpa_supplicant can? Because I can connect to network via wpa_supplicant but I don't see the same options in nm? Any ideas?
[23:57] <BlueEagle> rwrw: useradd and passwd
[23:57] <IntuitiveNipple> rwrw: use usermod
[23:57] <Chousuke> navane: also, remove "that depends on it" from my previous statement as redundant :P
[23:57] <unop> rwrw, there are a whole set of tools that do this job for you - and they perform error checking, etc before /etc/passwd is written to
[23:58] <rwrw> how do you get a overview
[23:58] <The-Kernel> Where does HAL dump its logs on start up?
[23:58] <rwrw> ok anyways, i guess i learnt my lesson
[23:58] <BlueEagle> The-Kernel: I think most things goes into /var/log
[23:58] <rwrw> i will use the scripts from now on :)
[23:58] <The-Kernel> BlueEagle: true but what file?
[23:58] <The-Kernel> I can't find it
[23:58] <Chousuke> rwrw: or make a backup :P
[23:58] <unop> rwrw, if you must ever edit /etc/passwd by hand - use visudo (but i suggest using that only as a last resort)
[23:58] <rwrw> :) yea
[23:59] <unop> rwrw, sorry, that's  vipw  not visudo
[23:59] <rwrw> how do i figure out what daemons are getting started at startup?
[23:59] <rwrw> vipw ok, i will lookinto it
[23:59] <rwrw> never used it before
[23:59] <unop> !startup > rwrw
[23:59] <IntuitiveNipple> rwrw: "man usermod" and look at the "See Also:" section at the end for related commands/files
[23:59] <switchfoot> i am so blazed
[23:59] <BlueEagle> The-Kernel: If it doens't go anywhere else /var/log/dmesg or /var/log/messages are likely suspects
[23:59] <kindofabuzz> does running memtest from the grub menu "fix" memory problems or just let's you know about them?
[23:59] <rwrw> no not gnome, i mean like startup init scripts
