[00:00] <skorasaurus> i did some google searching and couldn't find anything helpful yet
[00:00] <LjL> meoblast001: it might show up after the next reboot, for now just type it in a terminal
[00:00] <BlueEagle> skorasaurus: is the filesystem vfat or ntfs?
[00:00] <skorasaurus> its fat16
[00:00] <skorasaurus> iirc
[00:00] <adi> so now I should reboot and from tty i should use visudo?
[00:00] <BlueEagle> skorasaurus: so then you want -t fat
[00:00] <DaskreecH> Where could I find out if a Unichrome Video card would use the Via or unichrome driver ?
[00:00] <LjL> adi: no, you should answer questions i ask
[00:00] <LjL> adi: and i asked you to type "sudo true" and see if that works.
[00:00] <skorasaurus> BlueEagle: same response.
[00:00] <adi> 1 sek
[00:01] <sebjo> jrib: ps -ef | grep apache ?
[00:01] <adi> LJL | thanks :)
[00:01] <Mooloo> anyone know what the difference is between dvorak and dvorak international layouts? it doesn't say a specific nationality
[00:01] <mib_scwp2o> how would i do this for example: $variable = locate *.html , echo HTML UPDATE!! >> $variable
[00:01] <adi> root@ubuntu:~# sudo true
[00:01] <adi> sudo: can't stat /etc/sudoers: No such file or directory
[00:01] <BlueEagle> skorasaurus: sudo fdisk -l |grep /dev/sda1
[00:01] <LjL> Mooloo: probably has a few accented letters mapped to AltGr + stuff
[00:02] <DaskreecH> adi: you killed sudo
[00:02] <ianm_> anyone have a lenovo ideapad ?
[00:02] <Frogging101> k
[00:02] <adi> :(
[00:02] <LjL> adi: ok. reboot into recovery mode (that's a choice available in your GRUB boot menu), then copy the sudoers that you have in your home into /etc/sudoers (with "cp /home/whatever/sudoers /etc/sudoers")
[00:02] <Frogging101> whoops
[00:02] <jrib> sebjo: sure
[00:02] <Mooloo> ah it does. thanks LjL.
[00:02] <mib_scwp2o> i need help D
[00:02] <bunnyto> I Love Ubuntu
[00:02] <DaskreecH> LjL: It's amazing how bad a mistake you can make and have it trivially fixed in LInux
[00:02] <DaskreecH> naruto: Believe it!
[00:03] <DaskreecH> mib_scwp2o: with ?
[00:03] <adi> how to boot in recovery mode?
[00:03] <mib_scwp2o> how would i do this for example: $variable = locate *.html , echo HTML UPDATE!! >> $variable
[00:03] <LjL> DaskreecH: so you can make it again the next time
[00:03] <adi> oh i get it
[00:03] <mib_scwp2o> :/
[00:03] <LjL> adi: usually, do you see a menu when you boot?
[00:03] <adi> sory
[00:03] <DaskreecH> adi: When you reboot press esc when you see the grub message
[00:03] <adi> yes i remmber
[00:03] <skorasaurus> BlueEagle: /dev/sdb1               1         979      250574+   6  FAT16
[00:03] <DaskreecH> LjL: Hopefully more disatrious this time
[00:03] <jrib> sebjo: please use a pastebin and talk in the channel
[00:04] <adi> im trying to understand everything clear
[00:04] <skorasaurus> (it's been sdb1, not sda1, but i issued the same command as directed before, replaced the sda1 with the sdb1, but i had same result.
[00:04] <Tetracomm> oh no
[00:04] <BlueEagle> skorasaurus: The command you're trying to use with fsck is it `sudo fsck /dev/sdb1`
[00:04] <Tetracomm> Sorry
[00:04] <BlueEagle> ?
[00:04] <adi> cause i think if I dont make it I cant log in my sys anymore
[00:04] <skorasaurus> hah - i fogot to sudo that.
[00:04] <adi> right?
[00:05] <sebjo> jrib: ok. sry
[00:05] <skorasaurus> i received some results.
[00:05] <mib_scwp2o> any one know how :(
[00:05] <skorasaurus> don't know if it's good or not.
[00:05] <dave____> ok so my brand new WD eide which has been working great for a week is now freezing my system up compeltely (need to hard boot each time)
[00:05] <BlueEagle> skorasaurus: The reason I asked is because your error message reffered to /dev/sda1
[00:05] <LjL> adi: you can log in, but you can't use sudo. so reboot into recovery mode, and fix sudo.
[00:05] <jrib> sebjo: well you can either kill apache yourself or reboot
[00:05] <dave____> and im getting this error
[00:05] <dave____> http://paste.ubuntu.com/57038/
[00:06] <meoblast001> LjL: i just deleted ~/.sane/xsane and now it works
[00:06] <dave____> anyone know what to make of it? google is no help nobody seems to have solved it
[00:06] <skorasaurus> BlueEagle: i issued it again with sdb1, and i had the same msg.
[00:06] <adi> ah ok this is a good news :)
=== recon_etc is now known as recon
[00:06] <adi> later... and thanks LJL
[00:06] <sebjo> jrib: ok. sounds scary.
[00:06] <dave____> it freezes up whenever i do anything with high HD activity like ktorrent
[00:06] <LjL> dave____: i can't make much sense of those errors, but it's pretty common for new HDs to fail
[00:06] <sebjo> jrib: just "kill $pid" ?
[00:06] <dave____> im scared
[00:06] <BlueEagle> skorasaurus: I'm not sure if it's required but check your /proc/filesystems to see if fat16 is listed there.
[00:07] <dave____> so i should return it?
[00:07] <Kenthree> Hello, deluge seems to ingore my file selection and downloads even files marked as "Don't download", am i doing something wrong?
[00:07] <BigKahuna> hi there...hopefully someone can help me out with this...About an hour ago I was able to minimize windows to my tray in ubuntu, now I can not.  I didn't manually change any settings.  Any ideas what may have happened?
=== Carnage` is now known as Carnage\
[00:07] <LjL> dave____: boot from a live CD, and use the "smartmontools" package ("smartctl -H" command) to see if the HD is damaged (if it says it is, then it is, but even if it doesn't detect it, it might still be damaged)
[00:07] <skorasaurus> BlueEagle: pardon ? i dont understand that.
[00:07] <Xsss4hell> When I copy/move files from directory a)(777) into directory b) (755), will the files copied/moved obtain the permissions of directory b) ????
[00:07] <BlueEagle> skorasaurus: cat /proc/filesystems |grep fat
[00:07] <jrib> sebjo: 'sudo apache2ctl stop' doesn't work right?
[00:08] <BlueEagle> skorasaurus: does that return anything?
[00:08] <dave____> ok will do thanks
[00:08] <skorasaurus> BlueEagle: vfat
[00:08] <dave____> jrib: try "sudo pkill apache"
[00:08] <LjL> dave____: if you aren't sure how to go about checking, you can rejoin this channel from the live cd
[00:08] <Xsss4hell> I mean howto tell that files/folders should obtain it's parent's rights automatically??
[00:08] <skorasaurus> blueeagle, ill pastebin the results of the last fsck
[00:08] <dave____> cool thanks
[00:08] <jrib> dave____: thanks
[00:09] <node357> Xsss4hell, not sure. try copying a test file or directory to see
[00:09] <skorv> how can i run gnome on ubuntu server
[00:09] <Mooloo> is this sane for dual-booting vista/ubuntu: [50G vista primary] [ Ext: [15G ext3 as /] [4G swap] [100G ext3 as /home] ]?

[00:09] <skorv> (new guy to linux trying a server config = crazy)
[00:09] <sebjo> jrib: no
[00:09] <BigKahuna> hi there...hopefully someone can help me out with this...About an hour ago I was able to minimize windows to my tray in ubuntu, now I can not.  I didn't manually change any settings.  Any ideas what may have happened?
[00:09] <Mooloo> i figure /boot partitions are not in style anymore?
[00:09] <DaskreecH> skorv: apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[00:10]  * skorasaurus smirks at foucault's name
[00:10] <jrib> sebjo: k, try 'sudo pkill apache2' as was suggested then
[00:10] <Xsss4hell> node357: copied a textfile with 777 into my pictures dir which is 755... but it stayed 777
[00:10] <Xsss4hell> :(
[00:10] <lineman60> xsss4hell chmod
[00:10] <bobertdos> Mooloo: I'd say that's sane, a bit excessive for a home partition, but sane.
[00:11] <sebjo> jrib: ok. i'm back. thx
[00:11] <sebjo> :)
[00:11] <DaskreecH> jrib: Seems the driver is shot
[00:11] <jrib> DaskreecH: eh?
[00:11] <BlueEagle> Mooloo: The removal of the 1024 cylinder limitation that plagued boot loaders in the past removed the main reason for /boot partitions. However I still think it a good idea to have a boot partion with -noauto mounting to protect your kernel from accidental alterations.
[00:11] <Xsss4hell> lineman60: Isn't there some option to tell childs to get the rights of it's parents?? I don NOT want to chmod every file every time I copy, etc.
[00:11] <DaskreecH> jrib: the Unichrome driver is freezing ubuntu as soon as it boots
[00:12] <DaskreecH> jrib: Seems to be a long standing issue
[00:12] <Xsss4hell> lineman60: like in windows..
[00:12] <lineman60> man chmod
[00:12] <jrib> DaskreecH: not +1-specific?
[00:12] <DaskreecH> jrib: Bug has been open since dapper was +1
[00:13] <BlueEagle> Mooloo: Even so, having a boot partition with -noauto mounting may lead to some confusion when attempting to upgrade the kernel but forgetting to mount /boot first.
[00:13] <Xsss4hell> lineman60: I know what chmod is and howto chmod. But it doesn't make the childs automatically obtain it's parents right :(
[00:13] <DaskreecH> Hmm
[00:13] <Mooloo> hm
[00:13] <foucault> lusers
[00:13] <DaskreecH> I wonder if it's compiz that's kicking it in
[00:13] <DaskreecH> how do I swap back to metacity from CLI ?
[00:13] <lineman60> xsss4hell yes   need to look
[00:13] <squiddy> hi.. do i have to install alsa-firmware from medibuntu repo ? and what is it for ?
[00:14] <break_free> ok, can someone explain to me why my xorg.conf file changed my LCD monitor to a CRT with 1024x768 resolution instead of 1920x1200???? I love linux but seriously what the hell
[00:14] <BlueEagle> Xsss4hell: By default, when creating a file (which is what you're doing when copying a file) the new file gets the same owner as the one invoking the cp command.
[00:15] <skorasaurus> BlueEagle: any comments after looking at my latest pastebin: http://pastebin.ca/1226346
[00:15] <Xsss4hell> BlueEagle: and the same permission 777,775 etc?
[00:15] <aran> hi
[00:15] <lineman60> xss4hell look at umask
[00:16] <BlueEagle> skorasaurus: That looks like a successful correction of a filesystem.
[00:16] <skorasaurus> BlueEagle: so, the files should no longer be read only ?
[00:16] <Ademan> dpkg is telling me to run dpkg --configure -a  because it blew up in the middle of an install (monodoc-something-or-other failed to un-gzip) do i *really* have to do dpkg --configure -a ? that seems excessive for the issue at hand... any thoughts/comments?
[00:16] <Xsss4hell> lineman60: chmod can't do that.. gonna man umask
[00:17] <Ademan> wait nevermind i'm stupid
[00:17] <BlueEagle> Xsss4hell: I hope not. ;) I think the default mod is given when mounting the filesystem of the target.
[00:17] <lineman60> Xsss4hell ya did rease what you wanted
[00:17] <BlueEagle> skorasaurus: That depends on how you mount the filesystem.

[00:20] <Jaza> I tried everything
[00:20] <omega_> hola
[00:20] <BlueEagle> skorasaurus: If you look at the section where <option> is explained you will see there how adding a fmask and dmask will help making the files readable (and writable) by non-root users.

[00:21] <adi> what does that mean?
[00:21] <Werdna> you're stuffed, unless you set a root password.
[00:21] <BlueEagle> adi: sudo chmod 0440 /etc/sudoers
[00:22] <adi> ok
[00:22] <Werdna> BlueEagle: duhhhh, sudo doesn't work, so he can't use sudo.
[00:22] <sebjo> exit
[00:22] <DaskreecH> BlueEagle: He can't sudo
[00:22] <Werdna> adi: do you have a root password?
[00:22] <adi> ok i did it
[00:22] <BlueEagle> Duh.. I thought that was just a warning.
[00:22] <BlueEagle> :/
[00:22] <adi> yes
[00:22] <LjL> i'm not so sure he can't sudo, i think that's a warning.
[00:22] <DaskreecH> adi: reboot to recovery mode and run chmod 440 /etc/sudoers and you should be all right
[00:22] <LjL> BlueEagle: and you were right, too.
[00:22] <BlueEagle> LjL: Thank you.
[00:23] <DaskreecH> LjL: He can't
[00:23] <LjL> adi: what does "sudo true" say now?
[00:23] <Jaza> I can't get on my windows network from my ubuntu PC can anyone help?
[00:23] <DaskreecH> LjL: Where did he (assuming that adi is a he) get the sudoers file from ?

[00:23] <DaskreecH> ah
[00:23] <DaskreecH> ok
[00:23] <DaskreecH> should be fine after that then

[00:24] <dimm> my english is very slow, but may be recovery mode is help for edit sudoers?
[00:24] <adi> ok :)
[00:24] <LjL> dimm: yes
[00:24] <BlueEagle> adi: The solution is to boot back into recoverymode (you're right dimm) and do the chmod from there.
[00:25] <DaskreecH> dimm: recovery mode is a way to fix any errors past a kernel problem

[00:28] <Jaza> BlueEagle:  no it's not, but it still asks me for a password
[00:28] <dimm> DrX, try qwerty
[00:28] <alphamale2> LjL im not sure. i did a browser test and it went to wikipedia
[00:29] <LjL> alphamale2: what do you mean a browser test?
[00:29] <BlueEagle> Jaza: Is the username you use in linux a valid username in windows by any chance?
[00:29] <DrX> dimm: as a password, it didn't work (I assume u d/n mean a qwerty kb)
[00:29] <thiebaude> alphamale2:did firefox open up
[00:29] <alphamale2> LjL i did webserver into the url
[00:29] <thiebaude> did
[00:29] <thiebaude> ok
[00:30] <ubuntu_> ok its
[00:30] <ubuntu_> http://paste.ubuntu.com/57189/
[00:30] <LjL> alphamale2: err, sorry i still don't get you. just type www.google.com into the URL bar
[00:30] <Jaza>  BlueEagle: Not sure, I have the same username for both as far as can tell.
[00:30] <alphamale2> LjL ok
[00:30] <DrX> dimm: i also gave everyone FC on share & NTFS permissions, not sure what gives
[00:30] <BlueEagle> Jaza: Does that windows user account have a password defined?
[00:31] <DrX> BlueEagle: Yes, I tried it, and it didn't work
[00:31] <LjL> ubuntu_: ok, it still hasn't "failed" according to the threshold, but i'm pretty convinced it's about to fail - or has had a bad shock, anyway. since it's a week old, i'd just return it under warranty without thinking twice about it.
[00:31] <BlueEagle> DrX: I am sorry, but I haven't gotten to your problem yet. ;)
[00:31] <alphamale2> LjL how will this help me with it not being able to download packages?
[00:31] <ubuntu_> ljl good call
[00:31] <ubuntu_> thanks
[00:31] <LjL> alphamale2: it won't, but i need to know whether it's an APT specific problem, a DNS problem, or what
[00:31] <Jaza> BlueEagle: not there is no password for that username in windows, that's why I don't understand why it asks me for one.
[00:32] <DrX> BlueEagle: I reset the password & the error code changed from 13 to 5
[00:32] <ubuntu_> so what do you reccommend for linux as an IDE ? (250+ gb)
[00:32] <alphamale2> LjL ok what do you want me to test
[00:32] <ubuntu_> this was a WD eide caviar
[00:32] <Thorsten11> has anyone here put ubuntu on there mac? if so, was it with boot camp? or is virtualization the easiest route
[00:32] <adi> LjL | here is my sudoers content: http://paste.ubuntu.com/57190/
[00:32] <LjL> alphamale2: just if typing "www.google.com" into the URL bar results in google loading up, or not.
[00:32] <alphamale2> LjL yes it loaded
[00:32] <BlueEagle> Jaza: Well the reason for it failing may (and I cannot overemphasize MAY) be the crulpit here. What I suggest you do is to define a password for that user on your windows box and then try again.
[00:32] <thiebaude> alphamale2:and you tried a sudo apt-get?
[00:32] <chris4585> what command will set every file/folder and sub folder as root permission?
[00:33] <LjL> adi: you don't need to have "adi" in sudoers. "adi" should be an "admin", so just use the "admin" line.
[00:33] <adi> all I wanted to do was to be able to axess synaptic and other apps without typing pass all time
[00:33] <LjL> alphamale2: ok, do "echo $http_proxy $HTTP_PROXY" in a terminal, does that show anything?
[00:33] <alphamale2> LjL i did a ping google.com on the server and its not pinging
[00:33] <LjL> alphamale2: oh
[00:33] <adi> that is why i changed root with adi
[00:33] <Jaza> BlueEagle: thanks, I'll try that.
[00:33] <LjL> adi: terrible idea.
[00:33] <jrib> Thorsten11: either works fine.  You can use bootcamp (or refit) if you want to install ubuntu to a partition.  Or just use virtualization if you don't want ubuntu installed to its own partition
[00:33] <adi> really?
[00:33] <thiebaude> !root
[00:33] <ubottu> Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
[00:33] <adi> im the only one who use this pc
[00:34] <adi> no one else use this
[00:34] <LjL> adi: yes. now edit it with "sudo visudo", put back "root", remove the "NOPASSWD", and if you really want to have it, put it in %admin
[00:34] <alphamale2> ljl, but i can ping the external ip and the internal and get to the box via the external it doesnt make sense
[00:34] <adi> i got bored to type pass for everything
[00:34] <dimm> DrX, i try now 'smbclient -L 192.168.0.2'  he asked me for password, i just push enter, and see on share's on windows machine. But i can't use mount -t cifs. may be we use smbmount?
[00:34] <LjL> adi: that's a terrible idea nonetheless, you shouldn't change sudoers like that.
[00:34] <BlueEagle> DrX: That last advice I gave Jaza may be applicable to your problem aswell, however since you're doing a mount it may not work for you even if it works for Jaza.
[00:34] <LjL> alphamale2: it would make sense if your DNS weren't working
[00:34] <adi> mmmm ok
[00:34] <dimm> DrX, *may be we must use smbmount?
[00:34] <LjL> alphamale2: IPs would work, but hostname would not (and APT uses hostnames)
[00:34] <DrX> BlueEagle:
[00:35] <LjL> alphamale2: but then that's weird, since you can go to the site on a browser...
[00:35] <adi> but is ther a good idea to make my os not asking for pass everytime i launch synaptic
[00:35] <adi> or do admin tasks
[00:35] <LjL> adi: look, join #ubuntu-it
[00:35] <DrX> BlueEagle: here's how I resolved it:  i had changed the password to <null> (that threw an error 5) so i changed it to <somethingNotNull> and it worked
[00:35] <bunnyto> how to install windows 2009 on Ubuntu?
[00:35] <Thorsten11> jrib: thanks, i'm still debating but i think i'll go virtualization. I guess the next question would be, paralells or vmware?
[00:35] <supertanker> What's the best way to set up a server for local storage on my network? Like, where I can just dump files I don't want to keep on my desktop?
[00:35] <alphamale2> ljlm the sever will ping the router as well
[00:35] <adi> why .it?
[00:36] <DrX> BlueEagle: copying via a mount faster than copying with Nautilus?
[00:36] <BlueEagle> DrX: ...and that is the advice I gave Jaza so you're good. :)
[00:36] <alphamale2> ljl**
[00:36] <lineman60> supertanker windwos desktop or linux
[00:36] <jrib> Thorsten11: I used virtualbox
[00:36] <dimm> adi, "dimm ALL=NOPASSWD: ALL" in /etc/sudoers is available me do not enter password where i use sudo with any command
[00:36] <LjL> adi: because from your hostname, i'm assuming you're italian
[00:36] <LjL> alphamale2: but that's still by IP
[00:36] <LjL> alphamale2: try "ping archive.ubuntu.com"
[00:36] <adi> im in turin italy but im not italian ...
[00:37] <tj83> supertanker, samba would work.. but is a pain to set up.. I prefer the use of FTP... as I can use it remotely as needed
[00:37] <LjL> adi: nevermind then
[00:37] <eavatar> I need some aid here
[00:37] <alphamale2> ljl, wont ping
[00:37] <LjL> adi: anyway, i'm not saying you must not do that. i'm only saying you're doing it in the wrong way.
[00:37] <adi> so to that what should I do?
[00:37] <LjL> alphamale2: then it's a dns problem
[00:37] <smil3y> supertanker>  ive been using freenas, but you can do the same with ubuntu just have to do all the configuring yourself
[00:37] <LjL> alphamale2: what do you have in /etc/resolv.conf ?
[00:37] <lineman60> supertanker if your computers are windwos then Samba, if they were linux then nfs, and if you realzy use Winscp with ssh indbaled in ubnutu
[00:37] <LjL> adi: i'll pastebin a decent sudoers for you to use
[00:38] <adi> many many thanks
[00:38] <alphamale2> weird.
[00:38] <adi> :)
[00:38] <eavatar> I just installed Kubuntu on my machine and after the installation grub don't found my windows partition
[00:38] <alphamale2> search clubmckinley.tk and nameserver 192.168.0.1
[00:38] <tj83> !ask | eavatar
[00:38] <ubottu> eavatar: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-)
[00:38] <skorv> any idea how to get num lock on at boot in ubuntu server?
[00:38] <supertanker> lineman60: What's NFS?
[00:38] <supertanker> I am familar with Samba, (Kind of) but not NFS.
[00:38] <jamesish1> skorv: it's normally a bios setting.
[00:38] <Thorsten11> jrib: is virtualbox an alright option for a newbie?
[00:38] <lineman60> think if it as a network share for linux
[00:38] <balrog_> im trying to get xrandr working, and "xrandr -q" gives me an error (http://paste.ubuntu.com/57194/) <-- my xorg.conf is appended   help?
[00:38] <jrib> Thorsten11: yep, easy as pie with a nice gui
[00:39] <tj83> Thorsten11, vbox is great for newb/pro alike
[00:39] <Thorsten11> jrib: sweet, thanks:)
[00:39] <balrog_> Thorsten11: yes.  virtualbox is very good
[00:39] <ng0n> vbox ?
[00:39] <lineman60> subertanker http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_File_System_(protocol)
[00:39] <thiebaude> !vbox
[00:39] <ubottu> virtualbox is a x86 !virtualizer. A !free edition is available from !Gutsy as 'virtualbox-ose'. A non-free edition is available at http://virtualbox.org for most Ubuntu releases (help in #vbox) - Setup details at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox
[00:39] <Thorsten11> i'm gonna give it a try right now:)
[00:39] <alphamale2> how do i restart networking
[00:39] <DrX> BlueEagle: odd... Windows isn't showing anything in the folder (even with refresh), but from the Linux side it does
[00:40] <LjL> adi: http://paste.ubuntu.com/57196/
[00:40] <adi> ok thanks :)
[00:40] <tj83> alphamale2, sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
[00:40] <LjL> alphamale2: well, are you sure your router (192.168.0.1) does act as a nameserver?
[00:40] <rampageoberon> Hi, just wondering is there any tool to link a pidgin session to a finch session?
[00:40] <alphamale2> ljl, yes
[00:41] <Lykkefeen> LjL: Hi again, I did the memtest with 3 passes and no errors - is there any tool on the live CD which I can use to restore my /var/apt/-folder?
[00:41] <beautifulsnow> Hello, how do I check what versions of the linux kernel I have installed? (not the one I'm currently using)  thanks in advance  :3
[00:41] <alphamale2> ljl, or it used too
[00:41] <DrX> BlueEagle: and, Windows shows no space is being consumed on the windows drive
[00:41] <BlueEagle> DrX: Well.. windows is... windows I guess.
[00:41] <LjL> Lykkefeen, have you forgot about smartmontools? i said to check the memory, but i also said i thought an HD problem more likely
[00:41] <alphamale2> ljl, im going to change that to my real name server by mediacom
[00:41] <LjL> alphamale2: well try "nslookup archive.ubuntu.com 192.168.0.1"
[00:41] <jrib> beautifulsnow: aptitude search '~i~nlinux-image'
[00:42] <DrX> BlueEagle: how can i be sure the files are being copied to the windows share and not somewhere else on the Linux box?
[00:42] <Lykkefeen> LjL: sorry yes I forgot that name in the rush, I'll try that!
[00:42] <beautifulsnow> :D thanks
[00:42] <BlueEagle> DrX: In any case fixing windows file sharing on windows clients and servers is out of the scope of this channel. (and thank <insert_diety> for that)
[00:42] <alphamale2> ljl, actuly changing the value worked
[00:42] <LjL> Lykkefeen: remember you can join this channel while on the live cd
[00:42] <smil3y> beautifulsnow>  take a look at /boot/grub/menu.lst
[00:42] <LjL> alphamale2: then the problem is with your router
[00:42] <BlueEagle> DrX: `mount` will list mount points.
[00:43] <LjL> alphamale2: the changed value probably won't stay, though. /etc/resolv.conf is now auto-updated by some program (resolvconf, or network-manager), something i'm not very familiar with
[00:43] <alphamale2> ljl, affirm  that command you gave wont ping
[00:43] <BlueEagle> DrX: Also be aware that there might be caching going on so that even after a copy appears to have completed the file may not have been written to the server disk yet.
[00:43] <kapipi> すみませんが、日本語のチャンネルありますか？
[00:43] <alphamale2> ljl, how do i make it permenant
[00:43] <alphamale2> i got 8.04
[00:43] <LjL> !jp | kapipi
[00:43] <ubottu> kapipi: 日本語の場合は #ubuntu-jp または #kubuntu-jp を参照して下さい
[00:43] <kapipi> ありがとう
[00:44] <Guest55151> Hello.
[00:44] <LjL> alphamale2: i'm not very sure honestly, i removed both network-manager and resolvconf because i hated them...
[00:44] <kapipi> LjL thank you
[00:44] <adi> LjL I have a prob..
[00:44] <DrX> BlueEagle: well, it shows //<ipOfWindowsPc>/<sharename> on /mnt/mountpoint, and it shows a file I created with vi from the Linux box on the Windows box, but no cp file... how much could it possibly cache?
[00:44] <alphamale2> ljl, do i neev ether of them? im going to be always static. and im not running any hosting
[00:44] <Guest55151> clear
[00:44] <adi> i still can't be root#
[00:45] <DrX> BlueEagle: and, can I restart a nautilus copy that failed without recopying the existing data?
[00:45] <Pici> alphamale2: look at /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf for the 'prepend domain-name-servers' line.  Uncomment and modify as necessary.
[00:45] <Lykkefeen> LjL: unfortunenately, my wireless network card is not recognised by ubuntu and I use ndiswrapper so I don't think I'll be able to go online using the live CD.. But do you know how I can install the smartmontool - regarding to dependencies and other issues? Or is it on the liveCD?
[00:45] <LjL> kapipi: どういたしまして。
[00:45] <BlueEagle> DrX: I would assume that any such cache would be 4k or somesuch.
[00:45] <alphamale2> Pici: ok
[00:45] <adi> to give sudo visudo and paste the content of the file you pastebin it
[00:45] <tj83> Lykkefeen, what card do you have? not realtek by chance?
[00:45] <Guest55151> I would like to know, is there an Ubuntu Server Edition live cd? I downloaded the ISO, but you have install it.
[00:45] <LjL> Lykkefeen: uhm, that could be a problem, i don't know if it's on the live cd
[00:46] <adi> adi@ubuntu:~$ sudo true
[00:46] <adi> sudo: /etc/sudoers is mode 0755, should be 0440
[00:46] <LjL> Guest55151: no, because the server edition doesn't have a GUI, so it would probably be a little pointless
[00:46] <LjL> adi, yes, you do still need to go to recovery mode and chmod that.
[00:46] <Lykkefeen> tj83: D-link DWA 645 using Atheros chipset :)
[00:46] <Guest55151> oh okay
[00:46] <adi> but i did that
[00:46] <LjL> adi:  chmod 440 /etc/sudoers
[00:46] <LjL> adi: well, it doesn't seem like it worked, though
[00:46] <adi> yes
[00:46] <tj83> Lykkefeen, ok, cant help with that...sorry
[00:46] <LjL> adi: do "ls -l /etc/sudoers"
[00:46] <DrX> BlueEagle:  y, the linux box doesn't show anything either, and I created another file with vi and it's there
[00:47] <adi> ok
[00:47] <DrX> BlueEagle: and Windows shows both vi files but not the cp files
[00:47] <adi> -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 561 2008-10-14 01:16 /etc/sudoers
[00:47] <LjL> Lykkefeen: no way you could connect to a wired ethernet?
=== InHisNam1 is now known as InHisName
[00:47] <BlueEagle> DrX: Does it show the copied files if you unmount the share?
=== Guest33605 is now known as suffer_-well
[00:48] <LjL> adi: well, then you didn't do the chmod correctly. go to recovery mode again, and type this exactly:  chmod 0440 /etc/sudoers
[00:48] <thiebaude> guest55151:you can request a server cd
[00:48] <adi> ok I'll try again..
[00:48] <BlueEagle> LjL: Are we sure his /etc/ is mounted?
[00:48] <Lykkefeen> LjL: Not really :( Uni halls with only wireless net... But can't I just download some packages and install them in another way than apt-get install? Or is dependincies the problem? Or is it just my corrupted apt-get that destroys everything?
[00:49] <adi> ah its without sudo at the beginin?
[00:49] <adi> I put sudo chmod
[00:49] <DrX> BlueEagle: no
[00:49] <LjL> BlueEagle: uh, i suppose so, /etc is not usually a separate partition
[00:49] <LjL> adi, when you're in recovery mode, you're root. so no, no sudo.
[00:49] <LjL> but you need to be in recovery mode.
[00:49] <epic_fi> what happened to the forums?
[00:49] <adi> ah ok i see
[00:49] <LjL> Lykkefeen: you can try
[00:49] <LjL> !offline | Lykkefeen
[00:49] <ubottu> Lykkefeen: If you need to download Ubuntu packages using another machine or OS, check the desired packages in Synaptic and select File > Generate package download script. Alternatively, try http://apt.alturl.com/ (now with Gutsy and Hardy support)
[00:49] <BlueEagle> DrX: then I don't know why that is.
[00:49] <adi> later...
[00:49] <suffer_-well> hey guys this thing changed in my menu list after i downloaded like 500 updates and the on-off icon in the upper right hand corner changed to a man running and the help icon turned into a lifesaver. how can i get back to that?
[00:50] <Atomic_UE> anyone know of an app to edit iso files?
[00:50] <tj83> suffer_-well, sounds like your now running ubuntu 8.10 instead of 8.04..
[00:50] <Lykkefeen> LjL: good idea, I've got another ubuntu machine I can get to fix the packages..
[00:51] <suffer_-well> tj83 is that a beta version
[00:51] <tj83> its is suffer_-well
[00:51] <epic_fi> Atomic_UE, you can extract ISOs with archive manager
[00:51] <DrX> BlueEagle: I'll figure it out, thanks 4 the help!
[00:51] <suffer_-well> is it really quirky tj83
[00:51] <bunnyto> apt-get install windows98  - doesnt work, HELP
[00:51] <Atomic_UE> epic_fi, looking for something to modify an iso. add/remove files form it
[00:51] <thiebaude> so far everything works for me in 8.10
[00:52] <tj83> suffer_-well, well.... its release is on oct30th so dont expect much to change... i tried it... and have it on dual boot for testing.. but i am keeping 8.04 for now
[00:52] <chris4585> call me noob but.. ` chmod -R u+rw--g+r--o+r xdg/" will set that dir and every dir and file, as user read write, group read only and other read only, correct?
[00:52] <epic_fi> Atomic_UE, there is a prog... I'm trying to think of it... I used it a bunch last year
[00:52] <thiebaude> !ibex
[00:52] <ubottu> Intrepid Ibex is the code name for Ubuntu 8.10, due October 30th, 2008 - Warning lots of broken software between now and October 30th! - Use #ubuntu+1 for support, *NOT* #ubuntu
[00:52] <Sergeant_Pony> anyone using firefox 3 and java?
[00:52] <BlueEagle> Atomic_UE: You can mont an iso-file as a regular device.
[00:52] <thiebaude> Sergeant_pony:i'am
[00:52] <suffer_-well> tj83 what do you mean dont expect much to change?
[00:52] <BlueEagle> Atomic_UE: mount -o loop /path/to/file.iso /path/to/mountpoint
[00:52] <bunnyto> Sergeant_Pony: 100% of ubuntu users does
[00:52] <BlueEagle> Atomic_UE: you may need to specify the file system.
[00:52] <dudus> chris4585: try chmod -R 644 folder
[00:53] <chris4585> dudus, will that do what I want?
[00:53] <Atomic_UE> BlueEagle, i'm looking for something to modify the iso image
[00:53] <LjL> Lykkefeen: anyway, if/when you manage to install smartmontools, then the commands to use are "sudo smartctl -H /dev/yourdrive" (to get the general health status of your drive) and "sudo smartctl -A /dev/yourdrive" (to get more in-detail info, a bit hard to interpret)
[00:53] <tj83> suffer_-well, you said "quirky" i expect it will still be "quirky" for a bit of time to come :)
[00:53] <Sergeant_Pony> I have this one website that tells me I don't have it... not sure where to start
[00:53] <PoisonArrow> What can I download to stream movies in FireFox?
[00:53] <dudus> yeah but the permissions for files have a different meaning than the permissions for folder
[00:53] <suffer_-well> is it quirky for you?
[00:54] <adi> ok LJL now it works
[00:54] <adi> :)
[00:54] <suffer_-well> tj83 is it quirky for you
[00:54] <dudus> on folders -r mean list the dir contants and -x means user can cd to the dir
[00:54] <epic_fi> Atomic_UE, http://ubuntufriends.wordpress.com/2007/03/31/edit-and-create-your-bootable-iso-image-the-easy-way/
[00:54] <thiebaude> !mplayer
[00:54] <ubottu> mplayer is a media player. It resides in the mutiverse repository and can easily be installed via applications -> add/remove. For codecs try !codecs
[00:54] <epic_fi> Atomic_UE, copy and paste that into Firefox
[00:54] <PoisonArrow> thanks
[00:54] <epic_fi> Atomic_UE, it's exactly it
[00:54] <adi> but I still have to cp/paste that sudoers file you pastebin
[00:54] <adi> right?
[00:54] <epic_fi> Atomic_UE, also, you can search for isoMaster in synaptic
[00:55] <lineman60> I installed from usb drive, and i think i managed to get grub installed on my usb drive anyidea how to get it installed on the Harddrive (set it up with /boot)
[00:55] <chris4585> dudus, ok
[00:55] <Atomic_UE> epic_fi, excellent. exactly what i want. cheers
[00:55] <epic_fi> Atomic_UE, :)
[00:55] <suffer_-well> tj 83?
[00:55] <suffer_-well> tj83?
[00:55] <lampliter> can ubuntu boot off of a raid if /boot is on raid1 and / is raid5?
[00:55] <tj83> suffer_-well, i have several issues with 8.10... but its hardware specific
[00:56] <lineman60> lampliter yes
[00:56] <lineman60> you may want to look at LVM
[00:56] <lineman60> s
[00:56] <suffer_-well> i think ill wait till october 30th
[00:56] <Sergeant_Pony> thiebaude, bunnyto, so where do I start? the site say's I don't have it nut package manager say's I do... I think.

[00:58] <BlueEagle> Atomic_UE: Sorry, I thought it would be mountable as read/write when it was a file. My bad.
[00:58] <beautifulsnow> Uhoh youre in deep troulbe
[00:58] <tj83> adi i think i missed your issue.. perhaps i cant help at all.. but do you mind re-stating your issue?
[00:59] <Atomic_UE> BlueEagle, i've always thought that'd be real cool, and have been waiting for that for yrs and yrs
[00:59] <lampliter> lineman60: I have a setup with 4 drives, all allocate to raid5 (no spares) /boot was raid 1 256mb, / was 30gb raid5, and /attic, raid5  1.7tb. all the the raid 5 was on lvm.  on install, it failed to write the base software to the raid.
[00:59] <adi> now shoul be able to open the sudoers file to paste the content that LjL pastebin to me
[01:00] <LjL> adi: when you type "groups", is there "admin" in the output?
[01:00] <chris4585> so dudus chmod -R 644 makes everything readable?
[01:00] <lampliter> lineman60: I figured there was something wrong with my config
[01:00] <adi> groups from terminal?
=== chendo__ is now known as chendo_

[01:01] <lineman60> )
[01:01] <adi> not "admin"
[01:01] <tj83> adi sounds like you really borked out user lol
[01:02] <jamesish1> I bet he's using debian or something, I mean, this is astonishingly abnormal.
[01:02] <mgroman> LOL
[01:02] <lampliter> lineman60: it's a mini-itx.  no room for hw raid (which I don't trust anyway)

[01:04] <LepusQuan> I need some help
[01:04] <Atomic_UE> BlueEagle, yeah epic_fi told me to try it. exactly what i was looking for
[01:04] <tictac232434> histo: One more how do u bring up default programs config file?
[01:04] <histo> !ask | LepusQuan
[01:04] <ubottu> LepusQuan: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-)
[01:04] <Azhi_Dahaka> Damn...
[01:04] <Azhi_Dahaka> The forums are down
[01:04] <BlueEagle> Atomic_UE: Best of luck. :)
[01:04] <lineman60> beautifulsnow its in the  memu just coment out the ones you dont want
[01:04] <histo> tictac232434: right click on a file that you want to change and click on properties
[01:05] <adi> i think adi is user.
[01:05] <beautifulsnow> lineman60, i want all of them. im talking about the menu.lst in the boot folder
[01:05] <beautifulsnow> ^6
[01:05] <LjL> adi, are you in recovery mode now or not?
[01:05] <lineman60> beautifulsnow menu.lst
[01:05] <adi> no
[01:05] <adi> im on gui
[01:05] <sanshokubento> question, how do I configure a wireless interface (wlan0) to come up automatically when I boot the system?  I have to activate it each time right now.
[01:05] <LjL> adi: then why are you in a root shell?
[01:05] <tictac232434> histo: won't work atm I have to do it through terminal
[01:05] <pookmu> What lib file do I need to download to get sound in firefox after I use any media player. A reboot fixes it until I use a media player again.
[01:05] <adi> i did sudo -s
[01:05] <epic_fi> Atomic_UE, nice :)
[01:05] <LepusQuan> I just installed the 64bit version of Ubuntu on a macbook pro and now I cannot boot into linux because when I hold down the alt key to select which operating system to boot from it only displays the Mac OS.
[01:05] <Azhi_Dahaka> I wanted to know where can i get some insight about configuring my built-in Digital Media Reader
[01:05] <pookmu> someone told me here, I forgot :(
[01:05] <adi> than my pass
[01:06] <LjL> adi: err... ok. why?
[01:06] <lineman60> beautifulsnow just change the order
[01:06] <lineman60> sorry miss read it
[01:06] <adi> than i did as normal user "groups"
[01:06] <beautifulsnow> lineman60,  hey thats an idea :P thanks
[01:06] <Lykkefeen> How do I install a .deb package without apt-get install?
[01:06] <adi> and the output was:adi adm dialout cdrom floppy audio dip video plugdev fuse lpadmin admin
[01:06] <jrib> !deb | Lykkefeen
[01:06] <ubottu> Lykkefeen: deb is the Debian package format, also used by Ubuntu. To install .deb files, simply double-click (in Ubuntu) or click (in Kubuntu) on them to start the GDebi utility.
[01:07] <adi> but when i type sudo visudo /etc/sudoers
[01:07] <adi> as root
[01:07] <LjL> adi: i don't think i told you to type that as root. i don't think i even told you to *go* into a root shell, to begin with.
[01:07] <tutuca> hello
[01:07] <J-Dog> does anybody know how to make a bootable USB thumb drive with ubuntu?
[01:07] <FFEMTcJ> What is the "Visual assistance" in the startup programs? something i need to keep or no? im trying to make my ubuntu as slim as possible because im on an old laptop
[01:08] <adi> look now: adi@ubuntu:~$ sudo visudo /etc/sudoers
[01:08] <adi> usage: visudo [-c] [-q] [-s] [-V] [-f sudoers]
[01:08] <hubar> Anyone using eeepc?
[01:08] <histo> J-Dog: i believe there are instructions in the wiki
[01:08] <J-Dog> oh cool
[01:08] <histo> !usb > J-Dog
[01:08] <ubottu> J-Dog, please see my private message
[01:08] <LjL> adi: right, because the command is just "sudo visudo"
[01:08] <adi> one more thing
[01:08] <tutuca> is there any woraround for copying files with unicode caracters to NTFS?
[01:08] <usser> J-Dog, you will need unetbootin and ubuntu live cd iso
[01:08] <tutuca> I'm not able to do that
[01:08] <Lykkefeen> LjL: When I try to install the .deb file by just doubleclicking on it, the program freezes... Is there any other way to install it without using a live CD?
[01:08] <alphamale2> Anyone else get "It Works" when visiting http://clubmckinley.tk/
[01:08] <adi> from nautilus i can see sudoers file and have a X symbol now
[01:09] <usser> J-Dog, unetbootin is pretty intuitive so you should have no problem
[01:09] <jrib> alphamale2: no
[01:09] <histo> Lykkefeen: you can use the commmand line just use gdebi
[01:09] <adi> and can't edit now is blocked.
[01:09] <alphamale2> jrib, directory listing?
[01:09] <LjL> Lykkefeen: no, you'll really need to use a live CD since your current system is so broken. but you can transfer the .deb and its dependencies to a USB key or something, and then use that in the live CD
[01:09] <hausha> I try to record from webcam through ffmpeg. Do I need to download v4l (video4linux) to get this to work? Device is visible and present on the system, but some errors appear.
[01:09] <jrib> alphamale2: with desktop.ini in it, yeah
[01:09] <Ashex> Is there an issue with the repositories?
[01:09] <bunnyto> alphamale2: i can see your /bin directory...
[01:09] <adi> ok il try
[01:09] <jrib> Ashex: are you having an issue with the repositories?
[01:09] <Ashex> for some reason apt-get update throws errors about http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/
[01:09] <histo> hausha: you shouldn't have to if the device is present you can even try something like cat /dev/whatever > test.mpg
[01:10] <LjL> Ashex: pastebin the errors.
[01:10] <histo> hausha: if you were running through an mpeg encoder.
[01:10] <hausha> histo, cool I'll try that
[01:10] <alphamale2> bunnyto, your joking right
[01:10] <tutuca> would it be better to use a ext3 driver in windows than to use ntfs3g on ubuntu?
[01:10] <adi> ok im in the sudoers file from terminal as normal user
[01:10] <histo> hausha: you would have to ctrl +c to stop the recording then try playing it.
[01:10] <bunnyto> alphamale2: im taking the liberty of customize your system
[01:10] <lacqui> tutuca: do you really want windows playing around with your linux files?
[01:10] <histo> hausha: but ffmpeg should be able to capture the video aslo
[01:10] <adi> how to paste the content of the file you pastebin to me
[01:10] <adi> ?
[01:10] <alphamale2> bunnyto, yeah your joking
[01:10] <jrib> tutuca: with ext3 you can set permissions
[01:11] <Maligne> Hi all.
[01:11] <tutuca> lacqui: I need to copy files to ntfs
[01:11] <Maligne> Upon upgrading to Intrepid's kernel (from Gutsy), I get this error: E: Couldn't configure pre-depend libc6 for findutils, probably a dependency cycle.
[01:11] <Ashex> LjL: http://pastebin.ca/1226391
[01:11] <hausha> histo, yep. Sems the system has some issues with permissions... I'm trying the cat command as root, but it gives me perm denied
[01:11] <sugi> how do i uninstall compiz manager on hardy?
[01:11] <tutuca> lacqui: and i can't copy files with unicode strings
[01:11] <Ashex> I can open up http://us.archive.ubuntu.com in my browser just fine
[01:11] <hausha> histo, maybe that's why ffmpeg just halts the operation.
[01:11] <histo> hausha: could be.
[01:11] <pookmu> When I use Totem or VLC it breaks sound in FF3 I need to do an apt-get for a file libsomething.
[01:11] <histo> hausha: maybe your user needs to be added to the video group
[01:11] <jrib> Maligne: "upgrading to Intrepid's kernel (from Gutsy)" there's your problem
[01:11] <corntastic> so I'm about to download the newest ubuntu for 64 bit. the last time I did 64 ubuntu on my intel (v 7.1) it didnt work
[01:11] <tj83> sugi, sudo apt-get remove compizconfig-settings-manager
[01:12] <lacqui> tutuca: if you're trying to read-only from NTFS, go with the NTFS driver in linux
[01:12] <Maligne> jrib, then what do you suggest? I want the latest kernel.
[01:12] <tutuca> lacqui: is the other way around
[01:12] <jrib> Maligne: wait until october 30th
[01:12] <tutuca> lacqui: I need to copy TO ntfs
[01:12] <jrib> Maligne: then upgrade to intrepid
[01:12] <sugi> tj83: THANK you sir
[01:12] <hausha> histo, yes
[01:12] <lacqui> tutuca: oh, i've never tried it that way.
[01:12] <Maligne> jrib, ok. :)
[01:12] <LjL> adi: for this one time, just paste it by using "gksudo gedit /etc/sudoers" instead of visudo, that will be easier and should be relatively safe.
[01:12] <corntastic> so will 64 bit ubuntu work on my 64 bit intel?
[01:13] <tutuca> lacqui: and so far i'm loosing half of my file, cos I'm spanish and have lots of á's and é¿s and ñ
[01:13] <LjL> adi: (exit visudo by doing :q! )
[01:13] <tutuca> lacqui: ok, thans anyway
[01:13] <Ashex> LjL: you want a copy of my sources?
[01:13] <lacqui> tutuca: I've never worked with the NTFS read-write driver, or with EXT3 in Windows
[01:13] <adi> ok
[01:13] <lacqui> tutuca: what are you using right now?
[01:13] <FFEMTcJ> What is the "Visual assistance" in the startup programs? something i need to keep or no? im trying to make my ubuntu as slim as possible because im on an old laptop.. also does anyone have any suggestions on things to slim it down
[01:13] <tutuca> lacqui: ubuntu
[01:13] <LjL> Ashex: no, i don't think your sources.list is the problem, since it's failing with several very different repositories
[01:14] <LjL> Ashex: it looks perhaps more like your router (or modem, or something) can only handle a very limited number of connections, and APT is trying to do more...
[01:14] <tj83> FFEMTcJ, not sure about that.. but its been said that xbuntu is lighter than ubuntu
[01:14] <corntastic> no love... [20:12] <corntastic> so will 64 bit ubuntu work on my 64 bit intel?
[01:14] <LjL> Ashex: does your internet work ok overall?
[01:14] <Ashex> LjL: that's odd. I'm at campus right now. I've been able to do updates on their network in the past
[01:15] <barbuj> hello everyone
[01:15] <Ashex> LjL: yeah, no issues with it at the moment
[01:15] <LjL> Ashex: try commenting all repositories out in sources.list and only leaving one or two uncommented, and see if that works
[01:15] <tutuca> lacqui: I think I'll just copy over the network, I would loose time but not files
[01:15] <tutuca> thanks anyway
[01:15] <tj83> corntastic, yes... it sould work fine
[01:15] <Krampus> does anyone know how to make use of a split debug symbols file with a profiler?  NM keeps kickin back that the program has no symbols.
[01:16] <barbuj> i don't know if this is the right place for this question, but hopefully someone can point me in the right direction: i am trying to write a shell script and am having a hard time with a few things... does anyone know of a good tutorial on bash scripting?
[01:16] <corntastic> ok thanks
[01:16] <BlueEagle> barbuj: #bash might be a better place to ask. :)
[01:16] <barbuj> BlueEagle: 10q :)
[01:17] <Ashex> LjL: no luck :/
[01:17] <adub_> how can i disable a wireless adapter or a network adapter
[01:17] <Ashex> LjL: updates are through regular http:80, right?
[01:17] <lacqui> adub_: ifconfig eth0 down?
[01:17] <bunnyto> adub_: ifconfig eth0 down
[01:17] <adi> i used the gksudo gedit /etc/sudoers command and opened the sudoers file
[01:17] <LjL> Ashex, yes
[01:18] <adi> but after i paste the content it wont let me save the file
[01:18] <Ashex> LjL: hmm
[01:18] <adub_> oh
[01:18] <adi> the same prob as in the begginig
[01:18] <Ashex> LjL: I'll try running the updates through my tunnel and see if it does any better
=== brian_ is now known as Crusader_Tech
[01:18] <hubar> I am using NetworkTools (the applet) to control my wireless lan connection, what would be the commands (that is behind the applet0?
[01:18] <Ashex> just need to remember how to properly tunnel all that
[01:18] <adub_> i guess that would bring the interface down...i just dont want one wireless interface to mess with the other one
[01:18] <adi> this is why i deleted the sudoers file in the begging
[01:18] <lacqui> adi: try "sudo visudo" maybe?
=== Wolkenkratzer is now known as Wolkenkratzer_
[01:18] <Crusader_Tech> is anyone in here good with gkrellm? I'm trying to figure out where to put downloaded themes.
[01:19] <lacqui> adi: you'll need to know vi though
[01:19] <hubar> It is rather NetworkManager.
[01:19] <adi> never used visudo though
[01:19] <lacqui> adi: did you ever use vi?
[01:19] <LjL> adi: close gedit, and try this:  EDITOR=gedit sudo -E visudo
[01:19] <adi> ok
[01:19] <hubar> What is the wireless equivalent for ifconfig eth0 up/down?
[01:20] <jamesish1> hubar: iwconfig foo
[01:20] <Ashex> LjL: well, there's the issue. Turns out I have been running my updates through my tunnel the entire time
[01:20] <Ashex> Tunnel just happened to not be up at the moment
[01:20] <LjL> Ashex: hah
[01:20] <adub_> http://paste.ubuntu.com/57207/    <---- i continually get that error message after i apt-get install a package....the pagckages are successfully installing but that error message is getting on my nerves anyone know how i can get rid of it
[01:20] <adi> ok finally i did it :):)
[01:20] <adi> sudoers saved
[01:21] <adi> as originally sent in pastebin by LjL
[01:21] <Hilikus> in windows when i safely remove my mp3 player the player recognizes that it has been removed and says, safe to remove. on linux to remove i just umount the mount point but it doesnt make the player recognize it is safe to remove, how do i accomplish that?
[01:21] <adi> do i need to reboot?
[01:21] <lacqui> adi: no, sudoers changes take place immediately
[01:21] <chris4585> hrm ok, my files have the right permission.. but what command will set every folder and sub folder as root read write access, group read only, access, others read only access?
[01:21] <DCPom> how do you open .so files?
[01:22] <BlueEagle> DCPom: usualy you dont.
[01:22] <adi> ok so now any time i will need synaptic wont ask for pass
[01:22] <adi> ?
=== naruto is now known as Awang
[01:22] <LjL> adi: shouldn't. just try "sudo true" and the other stuff you need.
[01:22] <Smell> I downloaded the net-install cd and installed the minimum ubuntu system,  and have been hand selecting packages to install. I have the kde/gnome core packages installed, and everything is working fine, except for my sound
[01:22] <adi> ok :9
[01:22] <Smell> is there certain sound packages i should install>?
[01:23] <sanshokubento> k
[01:23] <adi> as normal user "sudo true" no ouput
[01:23] <BlueEagle> Smell: Are you attempting to use integrated sound from a nForce4 chipset?
[01:23] <BlueEagle> adi: then it works.
[01:23] <Smell> onboard sound
[01:23] <storm-zen> It's a little late to ask now, but is there a known issue with sound on 8.04 LTS?
[01:23] <adi> it works :)
[01:23] <BlueEagle> adi: see also man true
[01:24] <adi> ok
[01:24] <BlueEagle> adi: However that doesn't neccessarily mean that adept and synaptic will stop asking for passwords. ;)
[01:24] <DCPom> this may be a xubuntu problem, but does anyone have a way to get pidgin-libnotify working?
[01:24] <adi> LjL thank you really very much :):)
[01:24] <adub_> sorry did anyone reply to my previous post i got disconnected
[01:24] <BlueEagle> storm-zen: nforce4 has had issues after 2.6.16 kernel afaik
[01:25] <Lykkefeen> LjL: How do I find the name of my drive when I need it for the mountmontool?
[01:25] <storm-zen> BlueEagle: How about intel-hda?
[01:25] <BlueEagle> Smell: Which chipset is on your motherboard?
[01:25] <adi> i learned the lesson now
[01:25] <sugi> Oh kay, i sudo remove compiz manager, but i still have everything i did when i had compiz manager installed.  Is it really gone? or Do i have to change Visual Effects to No effect?
[01:25] <Lykkefeen> LjL: I tried with disk-2 but that did not work :(
[01:25] <Smell> BlueEagle : best way to tell?
[01:25] <Xpistos> Can anybody tell me how to setup up a share between ubuntu and ubuntu server
[01:25] <Mickmeister> Can somebody clear something up for me please? If I were to have a fairly large LAN connected to the internet, how many external IP addresses would that network have? Would it just be the one? And if so, how could you address internal nodes on the network externally?
[01:26] <adi> never touch sudoers without reading man true or man sudoers
[01:26] <BlueEagle> storm-zen: I run intel 8x0 without problems.
[01:26] <storm-zen> Xpistos: You want nfs.
[01:26] <adi> thank you guys :9
[01:26] <sugi> Xpistos: what version of Ubuntu?
[01:26] <adi> :)
[01:26] <BlueEagle> Smell: lspci|grep Multimedia
[01:26] <adi> bye
[01:26] <Xpistos> both are Hardy
[01:26] <LjL> Lykkefeen: you don't need to mount them (if you just want to run smartctl from the livecd), you just do smartctl -H /dev/whatever. now, i don't know what the "whatever" is, but most likely it's /dev/sda
[01:26] <Xpistos> I have the ssh setup and that is a big help
[01:26] <Xpistos> I just can't find out how to setup the share
[01:26] <Smell> BlueEagle : 00:11.5 Multimedia audio controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT8233/A/8235/8237 AC97 Audio Controller (rev 60)
[01:27] <sugi> Xpistos: just right click on a folder and enable sharing
[01:27] <BlueEagle> Mickmeister: You would only have one external IP for every modem connected to the internet.
[01:27] <Xpistos> and I don't want to go back to a free nass server
[01:27] <Xpistos> I don't have a gui on the server
[01:27] <BlueEagle> Mickmeister: To get access to nodes inside you need to forward the ports in question.
[01:27] <sugi> Xpistos: then type in smb://name/of/ubuntu/server
[01:27] <voglster> Mickmeister: depends on how your lan is accessing the internet ;-)
[01:28] <Xpistos> I though smb was for windows/linux shares
[01:28] <BlueEagle> Smell: Good. Now try: lsmod|grep snd_pcm
[01:28] <storm-zen> sugi: Wouldn't nfs be preferable for linux to linux?

[01:28] <Mickmeister> BlueEagle, so a single modem equals a single IP address? A typical business orientated LAN would have more than one then?
[01:28] <Lykkefeen> LjL: That worked thanks, my harddrive passed the first test and how do I determine whether it passed or failed the second? There is nothing at the "When_Failed" column..

[01:29] <BlueEagle> Smell: M toggles mute/unmute and the up and down arrows adjust the volume while left and right arrows change channels.
[01:29] <Azhi_Dahaka> also, getting a system-wide audio equalizar
[01:30] <storm-zen> jamesish1: I didn't realize that security was an issue.  The SMB protocol is better technology than NFS?

[01:31] <sugi> CJMCKEE: just google the name of the laptop and your favorite distro
[01:31] <LjL> CJMCKEE, that's not really a support question, try asking in #ubuntu-offtopic
[01:31] <jamesish1> storm-zen: smb supports acls and the like; it's good at what it does, to be fair. I mean, I use ssh-fs, which is NFS over ssh, but smb deserves acknowledgment.

[01:33] <DCPom> what's the rmdir option to force it to remove non-empty directories?
[01:33] <LjL> Lykkefeen, /dev/sda is a drive, not a partitions. examples of partitions would be /dev/sda1 and /dev/sda2

[01:44] <LjL> Lykkefeen: for the data, just backup your /home directory (or if it's its own partition - which imo is a good idea - you don't even need to), and perhaps /etc if you've changed stuff there
[01:44] <BlueEagle> PoisonArrow: ie. in roaming mode you are able to use nm to choose which wireless network you want to connect to, but if you manually lock it to use only one network then you're no longer roaming.

[01:46] <atticstorm> <lucax> I tried, but no difference.  Now, I am using xubuntu so there is no an obvious GNOME choice, Default and the sound card name.
[01:47] <BlueEagle> PoisonArrow: It's not neccessary to rule out other networks just because you're connected to one. If you for example move and loose the signal and a wireless access point is availible then it could be "handy" (and a big gaping security hole) to connect to that network.
[01:47] <lucax> !sound
[01:47] <ubottu> If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer).

[02:08] <BlueEagle> wartalker: -ng is usually short for "next generation". This is usually "new and improved"(tm) sofware but it might also be "new and experimental with lots of bugs".
[02:08] <xomp> wartalker, "xxxx" has no "-ng", there's your difference :)

[02:20] <epoch> BlueEagle, fruity loops is a music producing program

How do I get the required libraries (if any)?

[02:40] <Guest59881> in word my document fits on a page
[02:40] <Guest59881> and in openoffice its a bit over a page.. but this particular document needs to fit on a page

[02:40] <Shakedown> Guest: Edit the layout properties in OO
[02:41] <BlueEagle> Guest59881: Some fonts used in msOffice is not availible to OpenOffice due to licencing restrictions.

[02:41] <danopia> chaddy, that has SMB?
[02:41] <Guest59881> its in times new roman in both
[02:41] <BlueEagle> Guest59881: I suggest you change the font and fontsize and you may also adjust the margins as Shakedown suggests.
[02:42] <chaddy> danopia: did you try it?
[02:42] <danopia> chaddy, I am now and it appears to be going well so far.
[02:42] <chaddy> good stuff
[02:43] <danopia> chaddy, now I jsut have to print :P
[02:43] <Shakedown> Guest: No. Try the side margins though. Standard width is usually 1 inch, but I tend to find them defaulting to 1.5 inches. Reducing that will shorten the length of the document
[02:43] <jahv> anyone here can suggest me a good newsgroup binary application that support ssl for kde?
[02:44] <BlueEagle> Guest59881: format -> page and then in the "page"-tab you've got settings for margins.
[02:44] <nate_> Okay i have an ipod touch and i would like to use it with Ubuntu. I have the 1.1.5 firmware downloaded but not installed on the touch. first question is how can i install the 1.1.5 firmware on the touch from ubuntu so it can be jailbroken

[02:45] <Guest59881>  is there anything in particular thats set differently from msword to oo?
[02:45] <chaddy> Guest59881: that's too broad a question
[02:45] <kelvin911> how to tell my printer to print last page 1st ???
[02:45] <Shakedown> Guest: Your best bet is to play with it yourself
[02:45] <Shakedown> Guest: It shouldn't be hard
[02:46] <Guest59881> ok I guess Ill mess around with it
[02:46] <danopia> chaddy, I was thinking of making a .sh script to do it :P
[02:46] <Guest59881> thanks for your help guys
[02:46] <DrX> BlueEagle: no, I just need to verify the copy
[02:46] <Guest59881> but for instance there is also a few extra spaces on the page that arent there in msword
[02:46] <danopia> chaddy, and I think it worked, thank you.
[02:47] <foucault_> test
[02:47] <Guest59881> so it cant be only the margins

[02:51] <kuthux> i just wondering why it's not included in the installation
[02:52] <BlueEagle> kuthux: Because it's an optional package that most users do not require to have installed.
[02:52] <kuthux> are you guys have same experiences?
=== eruisto is now known as eruisto_
=== eruisto_ is now known as eruisto
[02:52] <kuthux> so it was normal eh?
[02:53] <BlueEagle> kuthux: I think one of the major reasons for it not being included is that it's very tempting for people to resize mounted partitions with gparted. This is in very many cases a bad idea.
[02:53] <BlueEagle> kuthux: Yes, gparted is not installed by default by design.
[02:54] <kuthux> ok then, can i install gparted using the live cd ? when im not connected to internet

[03:12] <MattJ> and you still have "localhost"
[03:12] <meoblast001> MattJ: no i changed it to 192.168.1.100
[03:12] <damiji2> oh good point.
[03:12] <misteralexander> Hagg3:  Have you ever heard of "Madwifi" ?  Reasearch that, it may not be enabled . . . even though it should be enabled by default.
[03:12] <MattJ> meoblast001: Did you restart the server after this?
[03:12] <meoblast001> i think
[03:12] <meoblast001> maybe not
[03:12] <misteralexander> How do I DISABLE the "Routine Check Of '/dev/sda1'" when I boot up.  It checks & the check fails, I skip the check & I boot just fine.  Any ideas?
[03:13] <Hagg3> misteralexander: I don't know about the setting in the bios, but I run this to activate the card. I don't know if it does work (I can not find any wifispots nor see the card in ifconfig):  # echo 1 > /proc/acpi/acer/wireless
[03:13] <DocHoof1> Is <gedit> a normal install on server version? I ask because it is what I am familiar with from Fedora 9.
[03:13] <meoblast001> MattJ: still cant connect
[03:13] <meoblast001> MattJ: what is this /Home thing at the end?
[03:13] <MattJ> meoblast001: What are the settings in your client?
[03:13] <Flannel> DocHoof1: No.  Server would have no GUI apps by default.  nano and a stripped down version of vim are default
[03:13] <pr0gr4mm3r> Flannel: there were a couple workarounds posted in that bug report you posted?
[03:14] <Flannel> pr0gr4mm3r: indeed.
[03:14] <MattJ> meoblast001: http://www.jabber.org/web/FAQ#What_is_the_.22Resource.22_setting_for_in_my_client.3F
[03:14] <meoblast001> lovely
[03:14] <meoblast001> pidgin wont start
[03:14] <DocHoof1> So <vi> works then? Or is it <vim>?
[03:14] <Flannel> DocHoof1: vim
[03:14] <Flannel> DocHoof1: vi would be a symlink, if it works
[03:14] <misteralexander> Hagg3:  Sorry, I don't have enough expirence with Wifi in Linux, I'm wired.  The one time I did have an issue, Madwifi wasn't enabled, and that fixed my problem . . . so I recomended it to you . . . sorry.
[03:14] <meoblast001> MattJ: why wont pidgin start?
[03:15] <Flannel> DocHoof1: but if you're used to normal vim, you'll want to install "vim" (sudo apt-get install vim).  vim-tiny is odd
[03:15] <MattJ> meoblast001: How do I know? :)
[03:15] <MattJ> meoblast001: I'm not psychic, but if you can provide an error message, it would be helpful
[03:15] <histo> stupid firefox and this going grey bs
[03:15] <meoblast001> MattJ: problem solved.. Finch was still running
[03:15] <meoblast001> on to the old problem
[03:15] <MattJ> ah, k
[03:15] <meoblast001> client settings
[03:15] <pr0gr4mm3r> Flannel: well...the one I followed left the system in much worse condition where it's not finding home directories, several errors at boot time, and it still can't complete the upgrade.  It almost sounds easier doing a fresh install and configing it from scratch at this point.
[03:15] <uvottu> hi i had some problems during upgrade to hardy, and i want to have ubuntu check all the packages, and reset any that were changed without have to do a complete reinstall
[03:16] <uvottu> is there a way to do this?
[03:16] <wizardslovak> hi
[03:16] <wizardslovak> i got problem, when i go to youtube and want to see  clip , i press play and firefox shuts down
[03:16] <DocHoof1> More accustomed to gedit, but vi is another CLI in Fedora I have used. My company wants to go Ubuntu after the new yaer, so I need to get used to it on my own server.
[03:16] <IndyGunFreak> because flash/linux sucks.
[03:16] <meoblast001> MattJ: its XMPP... screenname is meoblast001... domain is 192.168.1.100... resource is Home
[03:16] <histo> wizardslovak: did you install flashplayer?
[03:16] <histo> IndyGunFreak: yeap pretty much
[03:16] <Flannel> pr0gr4mm3r: the correct workaround is something like stop the locales thing, finish the upgrade, then reconfigure locales later
[03:16] <wizardslovak> it did work before
[03:16] <IndyGunFreak> histo: i've had quite a few probs out of it myself here lately
[03:17] <MattJ> meoblast001: What error do you get when you try to connect remotely?
[03:17] <wizardslovak> histo: it did work before
[03:17] <Guest17700> misteralexander: I am a new convert ... however hotmail is important for work .. can you please help?
[03:17] <Hagg3> misteralexander: I have the following restriced modules autodetected, installed and "in use": 1) Atheros Hardware Access Layer (HAL);  2) Support for Atheros 802.11 wireless LAN cards; I find "madwifi-tools", is that supposed to be installed?
[03:17] <Flannel> pr0gr4mm3r: also, try `sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade` to finish whatever of the upgrade you haven't finished
[03:17] <meoblast001> MattJ: meoblast001@192.168.1.100/Home disconnected Could not establish a connection with the server. Connection refused"
[03:18] <pr0gr4mm3r> Flannel: ya, that's pretty much what I did my moving the locale directory temporarily.  How long should it take for it to generate the locales so I know when it's stuck?
[03:18] <MattJ> meoblast001: That indicates that the server is not running, or you have a firewall
[03:18] <meoblast001> MattJ: no firewall i know of
[03:18] <unlink> does totem support positioning subtitles?
[03:19] <meoblast001> MattJ: i know the server is running
[03:19] <meoblast001> MattJ: how can i make sure?
[03:19] <meoblast001> and what is /Home
[03:19] <MattJ> meoblast001: telnet <ip address> 5222
[03:19] <MattJ> It will either say "connected" or "connection refused"
[03:20] <MattJ> meoblast001: and as for /Home, see http://www.jabber.org/web/FAQ#What_is_the_.22Resource.22_setting_for_in_my_client.3F
[03:20] <meoblast001> MattJ: connection refused
[03:20] <jhalstead> I know this is the wrong place to ask this but here goes, for anyone that has an asus eeepc:  does this machine support sdhc cards?
[03:20] <MattJ> meoblast001: is it definitely the IP of the machine the server is running on? :)
[03:21] <izinucs> jhalstead, don't know why it wouldn't
[03:21] <meoblast001> MattJ: yes. i pretty much memorized that thing by now
[03:21] <eternal_p> hey, what is the beta chat channel again?

[03:22] <meyos> what is a good app for assistance in wireless connectios
[03:22] <izinucs> meyos, if your card is recognized then the built in network manager works fine..
[03:22] <MattJ> meoblast001: Then if it is the right IP, the server is not running, there is a firewall, or possibly the server is configured to listen only on 127.0.0.1/localhost
[03:23] <wizardslovak> histo: i did update flashplayer(downloaded new) and still nothing

[03:23] <meoblast001> MattJ: how do i check the process?

[03:24] <meoblast001> this is a Jabber server
[03:24] <meyos> izinucs: the card is recognized, but i cant connect through my wireless network.
[03:25] <izinucs> meoblast001, k.. ah.. beyond me.. but shouldn't there be a specified port number for that server too?
[03:25] <MattJ> meoblast001: Try a: ps aux | grep jabber

[03:26] <Mooloo> hi, how can i restore grub after i installed vista? i found a link, but it says "find /boot/grub/stage1" which only gives file not found. i have a boot partition, and i booted a live-cd.
[03:26] <meoblast001> MattJ: http://pastebin.com/d1a6acbfe
[03:26] <kuthux> Mooloo: try easybcd
[03:26] <izinucs> meyos, one of the icons up by the clock that looks like a network connection icon will give you access to wlan typically.. try right mouse click
[03:26] <kuthux> but it use vista's bootloader
[03:27] <Mooloo> i don't want that
[03:27] <MattJ> meoblast001: Hmm... that's jabberd2
[03:27] <bunnyto> how to make/edit ISOs?
[03:27] <meoblast001> MattJ: O_o
[03:27] <kuthux> Mooloo: then just use the live cd to install grub
[03:27] <meoblast001> MattJ: im gonna try to downgrade
[03:27] <pr0gr4mm3r1> Flannel: sorry for dropping off.  I rebooted the server, forgetting that it routes my internet :) ...and it failed to even come back, saying there are critical filesystem errors.  The /home is on its own partition, so I am just going to do a fresh install and get it over with.
[03:27] <MattJ> meoblast001: No, don't
[03:28] <meoblast001> MattJ: ok
[03:28] <Mooloo> i have booted the live cd, how do i install it then?
[03:28] <kuthux> Mooloo: u can install grub with easybcd but not to use vista's bootloader
[03:28] <meoblast001> MattJ: so what do i do?
[03:28] <MattJ> meoblast001: When I said I wanted to fix that how-to, I wanted to update it to jabberd2 :)

[03:29] <kuthux> Mooloo: ok then try to mount the partition where u installed ubuntu
[03:30] <Mooloo> i have /, /home and /boot partitions. where do i mount them?
[03:30] <meyos> i didnt know i can eliminate that, ill try

[03:30] <hardcore> can i copy xbox 360 games with brasero?
[03:30] <Flannel> Mooloo: /, /home, and /boot
[03:31] <kuthux> Mooloo: so u have separated /boot partition eh ?
[03:31] <kuthux> Mooloo: mount them all
[03:31] <danbh_intrepid> hardcore: probably not.  Ubuntu doesn't support much of copy protection, much less work around it.
[03:32] <izinucs> meyos, it has to be turned off in the router.. not your machine.
[03:32] <pop3000> #cebu
[03:32] <unitedpotsmokers> can we set to auto mount every time we log in ubuntu?
[03:32] <Mooloo> ok, i have them mounted, i can see the file is there, still the file not found error
[03:32] <izinucs> unitedpotsmokers, auto mount what?
[03:33] <hardcore> i know i can copy encrypted dvds for backup purposes of course, so i just thought maybe i can do the same thing with my games
[03:33] <damien> can anyone help with wifi
[03:33] <ubuntu_todd> hi. How could I concatenate several pdf files. I remember I can do that in Acrobat Professional in Windows? Is there any easy way so that I can do my job
[03:33] <kuthux> Mooloo: sudo grub-install /dev/hdx
[03:33] <izinucs> hardcore, x360 uses a unique file format.. google.
[03:33] <unitedpotsmokers> auto mount hardisk, because some of my wallpapers located in drive D, and when i login it disappear
[03:33] <Mooloo> ok, i have sdax, what is the x? the boot partition or just /dev/sda?
[03:33] <kuthux> Mooloo: probably u have to reinstall grub
[03:34] <meyos> izinucs: i have a quest modem
[03:34] <damien> how do I know if madwifi is working properly?
[03:34] <izinucs> ubuntu_todd, I think imagemagick can do that with one of it's many commands.. also some use PDFEdit but I haven't had much luck with it.
[03:34] <cjmaster> Hello... I installed java but I can't see aplets on a web page. Help? :P
[03:34] <kuthux> Mooloo: boot partition
[03:34] <izinucs> meyos, do you have a router?
[03:34] <EnsignRedshirt> ubuntu_todd: There is a set of tool (something like pdftools) that includes a pdfjoin command.
[03:34] <izinucs> meyos, or is this a pppoe type dsl connection?

[03:35] <kuthux> Mooloo: if it shows error again then the /dev/sda
[03:35] <jdevel> reqqit, google has a lot of information indexed.. try a search.
[03:36] <cjmaster> Hello, I installed java on ubuntu, why can't I see aplets on a web page?

[03:36] <mgutz> is there anything like $ start from Windows or $ open OS X in Ubuntu
[03:36] <mgutz> for example, $ start . would open file browser at current directory
[03:36] <unitedpotsmokers> izinucs, : thanks 4 helping
[03:37] <Mooloo> it worked, but vista is not in there
[03:37] <izinucs> unitedpotsmokers, that should show you how to augment fstab to auto mount
[03:37] <ubuntu_todd> EnsignRedshirt: is there any default command I can do that?
[03:37] <cjmaster> Hey guy's, I installed linux java, but it still doesn't work. do i need to do somethign else?
[03:37] <kuthux> Mooloo: then just add it to menu.lst
[03:37] <reqqit> jdevel, please elaborate - how much information are they indexing? I don't want to search there if I feel it may be in vain. Are they indexing over 9000? Actually, adding blender specifically to my query did find something I didn't find earlier
[03:37] <ubuntu_todd> EnsignRedshirt: I mean I don't have to install any other software.
[03:37] <kuthux> use vim or gedit or something to edit menu.lst
[03:37] <mghigliotti_> cjmaster, are you using Sun Java or iceweasel?
[03:37] <reqqit> which might mean this is something that is blendercentric (I was searching for ATI ubuntu slow, and crap like that)
[03:38] <ubuntu_todd> EnsignRedshirt: I have used cat. But it doesn't work.
[03:38] <mghigliotti_> icedtea, sorry
[03:38] <EnsignRedshirt> ubuntu_todd: Sorry, I don't know.
[03:38] <DCPom> cjmaster, did you install the firefox plugin?
[03:38] <ubuntu_todd> EnsignRedshirt: how about gimp?

[03:42] <BigPoppa3516> Hello everyone, have a quick question about installing ubuntu.  I want to dual boot with windows, but in the documentation, it only tells you how to re-size the windows partition and install it there.  I have an entire harddisk in my workstation that i want to dedicate to ubuntu, but i'm not sure if the bootloader will pickup the windows install.  Do i need to do anything special?
[03:42] <kuthux> just try it, it won't ruin the system. the worst case is just it doesn't work
[03:42] <reqqit> we'll be needing that again soon.

[03:42] <aaron> how do I check that my dvd has been recognized properly?
[03:43] <Frogzoo> aaron: fire up gxine
[03:43] <izinucs> BigPoppa3516, It might .. it might not but it won't delete windows if you take care and do "manual partitioning".. Grub the boot loader might be put in the wrong place but is totally fixable.
[03:44] <cjmaster> It appears its already installed.
[03:44] <Flannel> BigPoppa3516: Dualbooting without shrinking (by putting on another partition) works more or less identically, except without the shrinking part.
[03:44] <DCPom> cjmaster, what do you get when you try to install sun-java6-plugin?
[03:44] <erwin_> hi i desperately need help with my sis190 gigabit ethernet on hardy...

Im thinking that is flash releated. The only way to fix it that i have figured out is to hold control+alt+delete, the system restarts. I want to know why does this happen and how I can fix it? Help would be much appreciated.
[03:52] <kuthux> Mooloo: congrats
[03:53] <izinucs> dmsuperman, sorry I'm not really good at the sound thing.. I did an upgrade to Hardy and sound there is hit and miss.. but a fresh install on a laptop works fine.. sometimes I think something in the upgrade process is borked or if it's not that then maybe the difference in sound cards has thrown a wrench into the mix.
[03:53] <damien> wow thanks for the help!
[03:53] <dmsuperman> izinucs: This is a fresh install, I'm pretty good with sound things and I've got sound working, it just appears that the gnome-sounds has stopped working for some reason
[03:54] <bunnyto> dmsuperman: 2 sound cards?
[03:54] <dmsuperman> bunnyto: No, integrated audio

[03:56] <kuthux> twiztr_techsuppo: boot the live cd, on the main boot menu u can find it
[03:56] <Azhi_Dahaka> Is there a way to install a deb package by hand and avoid conflics with  apt-get?
[03:56] <DCPom> cjmaster, hang on, i'm surprised the terminal installation didn't work
[03:56] <twiztr_techsuppo> Oh, I forgot that it had a memtest thing. Sweet. Thanks.
[03:57] <twiztr_techsuppo> well, see you guys in a bit if it doesn't work.
[03:57] <cjmaster> DCPom, oh btw i'm not sure if its important but I got a 64-bit processor and ubuntu.
[03:57] <ubuntu_todd> what's this problem wisdom@wisdom-laptop:~/Desktop$ sudo synclient Touchpadoff=0           Can't access shared memory area. SHMConfig disabled?

[03:57] <wishie> i have 2 multimedia keys on my laptop that are NOT generating events of any kind in linux, therefore i cannot use any program to bind commands etc to them.. the keys, however, do work in another OS.. where can i start to get these keys recognised in linux ?
[03:58] <harriseldon> ubuntu_todd in order to use synclient, a special area of memory needs to be enabled. In default Ubuntu, it is not enabled
[03:58] <DCPom> cjmaster, sorry, i can't really find anything else, maybe someone else can help...

[03:59] <harriseldon> ubuntu_todd you need to edit your xorg.conf and the line Option SHMConfig "Enabled" in the section for the touchpad device
[03:59] <dmsuperman> Can anybody help me get system sounds to work? I hit "play" to test the sounds, and not even the default system sounds work. I have no other sound issues, and nothing is sent to stdout. The sounds are also not played normally. Pulse is disabled.
[03:59] <histo> !sound | dmsuperman
[03:59] <ubottu> dmsuperman: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer).

[04:01] <rjr162> correctly set by --iscurrentdistro
[04:01] <gecko_> Got a question, i screwed around with my Nvidia resalution controls like an idiot, and now it wont give me options to go back to my 1024 or what ever, it's stuck on 640.. Help?
[04:01] <histo> !nvidia | martin_
[04:01] <ubottu> martin_: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[04:01] <izinucs> martin_, have you enabled the restricted drivers?
[04:01] <bunnyto> rjr162: are you using root?
[04:01] <dmsuperman> histo: Alsa is selected, and the "test" button for all of them makes a beeping noise
[04:01] <rjr162> yeah
[04:02] <histo> dmsuperman: good thats what its supposed to do then.
[04:02] <rjr162> i read somewhere it doesn't work with the new version of xorg and you'd have to downgrade?
[04:02] <dmsuperman> histo: But if you go to gnome-sound-properties -> sounds tab and hit "play" next to one of the system sounds
[04:02] <cjmaster> !hi | cjmaster
[04:02] <ubottu> cjmaster, please see my private message
[04:02] <dmsuperman> histo: Then it's supposed to play a sound. Like the login sound.
[04:02] <dmsuperman> histo: Mine doesn't, nor does it when I log in.
[04:02] <bunnyto> rjr162: wrong.. i have the last xorg and the last ATI drivers
[04:03] <martin_> izinucs: yes and tred alot of things, and now i cant even get anything if i enable nvidia driver
[04:03] <rjr162> bunnyto: dang i'm not sure what to do with the --iscurrentdistro
[04:03] <izinucs> martin_, did you install nvidia-settings?
[04:04] <cjmaster> msgbot

[04:05] <martin_> i'm using kubuntu, and tryed everything that guys there could think about and nothing worked so i thought that maybe you guysmight know other stuff
[04:06] <martin_> izinucs: 8800 GTS
[04:06] <kelledin> for some reason, I'm not seeing anything for display power control
[04:06] <McAfee> my ubuntu boot was fried because i had a memory stick go bad, it fried my boot, fsck won't fix it. it tells me it has multiple illegal somethings and i tell it yes then it says inode something 1600 should be 0 <fix>y?
[04:06] <McAfee> i hit y, and it freezes
[04:07] <harriseldon> Shity_T1 it seems like you are going back to the first terminal session. Have you tried alt-f7 to get back to your x session?
[04:07] <izinucs> martin_, there is a new nvidia driver released that I read fixed a lot of issues with the 8800 and up.. it's on the nvidia site.  To install follow the instructions but if it's not mentioned you have to be in a different tty and have gdm stopped.
[04:07] <cjmaster> !anybody | cjmaster
[04:07] <ubottu> cjmaster, please see my private message
[04:08] <harriseldon> McAfee have you tried fsck from a live cd?
[04:08] <Shity_T1> harriseldon: yes, well I have tried ctrl-f7, it is on that session I think
[04:08] <Shity_T1> harriseldon: or is alt-f7 different?
[04:08] <McAfee> harriseldon,  no, i'm downloading an ISO right now so i could try that
[04:08] <martin_> izinucs: sorry, tty?; gdm? im new to linux
[04:08] <FAJ> Shity_T1:  ctrl alt f7
[04:09] <Shity_T1> FAJ, a sry, that is what I did
[04:09] <harriseldon> Shity_T1 when you are in a current x session, you must use ctrl+alt+F1 for example to goto terminal 1. Once you are in a terminal, you only need to use alt-f7
[04:09] <FAJ> Shity_T1:  ok
[04:09] <bunnyto> how to see the process % ?
[04:09] <harriseldon> Shity_T1 try alt-F1 to goto the first termina
[04:09] <histo> God flash blows
[04:09] <histo> in linux
[04:10] <harriseldon> Shity_T1 then login as your user and check the logs like dmesg or xorg.0.log
[04:10] <kelledin> histo: flashblock is your friend ;-)
[04:10] <hosstest> :P
[04:10] <FAJ> bunnyto:   open up termina>top
[04:10] <bobertdos> histo: You've already tried 10, right?
[04:10] <Shity_T1> harriseldon, yes I've tried that, logged in on the first terminal tried to startx, then that time it just froze on black
[04:10] <FAJ> or alt+f2 gnome-system-manager
[04:10] <harriseldon> Shity_T1 you can also try sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart to restart X
[04:10] <cjmaster> !exit
[04:10] <ubottu> Sorry, I don't know anything about exit
[04:10] <izinucs> martin_, k.. a tty is like terminal but a seperate screen.. the gui is located on tty7 .. to get to another tty use ctrl+alt+f2 and login.. it's text based.  GDM is graphics display manager.. to stop it once in a different tty type /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[04:11] <harriseldon> Shity_T1 look at the comment izinucs. It accurately describes the use of terminals with x.
[04:12] <Shity_T1> harriseldon, ah ok, if it happens again how would I go about checking the logs you mentioned?
[04:12] <kuthux> will there only one GUI (tty7 only), or can we start x on another tty ?
[04:12] <gecko_> Other then my Nvidia controls what other programs are on Ubuntu to fix a screen reselution problem?? got myself in it, maybe i can get myself out :)
[04:12] <kuthux> :D
[04:12] <harriseldon> Shity_T1 use alt-f1 to goto the first terminal. Login and then type the command dmesg
[04:13] <izinucs> kuthux, there are ways of starting a gui on a different tty but I don't know how.
[04:13] <harriseldon> Shity_T1 this will check the main system log
[04:13] <kuthux> hmm..
[04:13] <harriseldon> Shity_T1 to check the xorg log you can use tail /var/log/Xorg.0.log (tail shows the last 10 lines of a file)
[04:13] <jfsc> i installed the server kernel, but when I do the system update its trying to install all the packages dealing with the generic kernel
[04:14] <Shity_T1> harriseldon, thank you I'll try to figure it out from there :)
[04:14] <go_beep_yourself> hello, i am using the default ubuntu config file for configuring the kernel and i see that alsa is not checked off. why wouldnt it be checked off with the default ubuntu config?
[04:14] <ubuntu_todd> harriseldon: Doesn't work. I add this into my xorg.conf Option		"SHMConfig"		"Enable"
[04:16] <gonzaloaf_laptop> hi, why when I execute something with sudo I receive this error? sudo: unable to resolve host gaf-laptop
[04:16] <harriseldon> ubuntu_todd where did you add it?
[04:16] <harriseldon> ubuntu_todd did you log out and log back in?
[04:16] <izinucs> gonzaloaf_laptop, I have the same issue but just continue and it  will work
[04:16] <Narfi> I need to translate a english work to french, but its a PDF. Is there another prog than PDFEdit ?
[04:16] <kuthux> gonzaloaf_laptop: open /etc/hosts
[04:16] <ubuntu_todd> harriseldon:or should it be Option		"SHMConfig"		"on"?
[04:16] <hosstest> whats a good app for compressing .ogg files into avi?
[04:17] <harriseldon> ubuntu_todd you are correct
[04:17] <izinucs> Narfi, search synaptic for pdf and you'll find one that will convert pdf to ps .. that should be more "manipulatable" if that's a word.
[04:17] <mrpockets> whats the command to delete a direcroty if its fulla shit?
[04:17] <gecko_> my screen reselution is screwed, wont let me put it back to norm, stuck on 640.. can i go through terminal to fix, and how??
[04:18] <Narfi> izinucs:: Thank you.
[04:18] <hosstest> mrpockets:  rm -r
[04:18] <Azhi_Dahaka> Is there a way to install a deb package by hand and avoid conflics with  apt-get?
[04:18] <dmsuperman> !ohmy | mrpockets
[04:18] <ubottu> mrpockets: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly.
[04:18] <izinucs> Azhi_Dahaka, conflicts?  have  you double clicked the .deb to install and received errors due to dependancies?
[04:19] <ubuntu_todd> harriseldon: It doesn't work neither Enable nor On
[04:19] <dmsuperman> gecko_: You can, you might want to check !nvidia or !ati, depending
[04:19] <mrpockets> ...sry
[04:19] <dmsuperman> gecko_: Also" sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" might be of assistance
[04:19] <jfsc> i installed the server kernel, but when I do the system update its trying to install all the packages dealing with the generic kernel
[04:19] <jfsc> how do I fix this?
[04:19] <harriseldon> ubuntu_todd I have it enabled for me and it works. Did you logout? changes to xorg.conf do not take effect until you logout. Plus it needs to be in the correct section.
[04:20] <izinucs> jfsc, if you're using the server kernel you might need the other files associated with it.
[04:20] <garrett> Hello ubuntu people
[04:20] <ubuntu_todd> harriseldon: Should I reboot? Or just ctrl+alt+backspace is enough?
[04:20] <gonzaloaf_laptop> I want to enable the 'Debian' or 'Education' menus but the changes doesnt make effect, why?
[04:20] <bobertdos> !hello | garrett
[04:20] <ubottu> garrett: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[04:20] <garrett> I was hoping someone could help me with a video problem
[04:20] <ubuntu_todd> garrett: what's that?
[04:21] <harriseldon> ubuntu_todd ctrl-alt-backspace is enough. Try to avoid that because it abruptly closes x. Use the logout instead if you can.

[04:23] <izinucs> ChunkStyle, could but it's still beta.. don't until it's officially released.

[04:24] <ChunkStyle> ok
[04:24] <ChunkStyle> thanks izinucs
[04:24] <gecko_> dmsuperman: tried the terminal thing, pretty useless for me, didn't really understand it.. so joinning nvidia and the ati channel..

[04:25] <theworm> I am running Ubuntu 8.10 and would like turf anonymously
[04:25] <izinucs> gonzaloaf_laptop, sometimes that happens and they show up on next boot. the other way is to right mouse click on Applications and "edit"  you'll probably find them entered and checked but to fix just uncheck the box and recheck.. it'll show up
[04:25] <harriseldon> ubuntu_todd that is exactly what I have in my xorg.conf and it works

=== Zmija is now known as andrijeski
[04:27] <theworm> Garret I have already installed it.. I mean don't we have a workaround by which we can hide IP Adrress
[04:28] <theworm> I try to use Tor Privoxy
[04:28] <garrett> oh have you tried peer gaurdian through wine
[04:28] <theworm> Nope
[04:28] <garrett> check it out- thats what i used in winxp im sure i heard it works under wine
[04:28] <steezer> garrett: how do i reinstall firefox after i remove it?
[04:29] <ubuntu_todd> It works after I log out.
[04:29] <harriseldon> central try using Tools->Language then specify for selection, paragraph, document, etc.
[04:29] <theworm> k will try and let you know
[04:29] <central> well i install openoffice suite 2.4 and all the language i need but openoffice can not find any dictionary
[04:29] <harriseldon> central once the language is changed, the dictionary will be changed to match
[04:29] <gecko_> dmsuperman: no one seems to be responding on those channels, do you have any idea how i can fix my reselution issue?
[04:29] <ubuntu_todd> harriseldon: you mean logout is better than ctrl+alt+backspace?
[04:29] <unlink> how do i view a font file?
[04:30] <unlink> like a ttf
[04:30] <central> i did what you say but no result
[04:30] <ethan3> unlink just double click
[04:30] <steezer> i can't open firefox after the update, it shows "Error launching browser window:no XBL binding for browser"  again after i just reinstalled it, what do i do?
[04:30] <central> it work with ubuntu but not with ubuntu studio
[04:30] <unlink> ethan3: There is no application installed for this file type
[04:31] <harriseldon> central look in synaptic for the other openoffice.org-I10n for the desired language
[04:31] <ethan3> do you install acdsee or other software
[04:31] <legend2440> unlink: gnome-specimen is a font viewer. its pretty good
[04:32] <unlink> yeah, but that doesn't view arbitrary font files on my filesystem
[04:32] <unlink> which is what i'm looking to do
[04:33] <Chaotic_Descent> Why can't I use this SDcard in my USB adapter? it worked before, and it worked at my mom's house where I installed Ubuntu. why am I getting "unprivileged user can not mount NTFS block devices using the external FUSE library." ? Why is my computer working differently than my mom's?
[04:34] <ethan3> normally winvista has the tool to open the ttf file by its own
[04:34] <chicotripa> hey
[04:34] <central> well the package you say are installed

[04:35] <Chaotic_Descent> Also, anyone know how to hide hidden files in the shared app that's used to upload/download/save/load files in all other apps?
[04:36] <unlink> yes, i've been googling

[04:37] <central> openoffice work well with ubuntu desktop but not with ubuntu studio
[04:37] <Kattollikisd> Can someone help me, I erased My USB Drive from my desktop, everytime that I connect the USB drive in the PC, I don't see it in the desktop, who do I put it back?
[04:37] <kuthux> central: how could?
[04:38] <central> i dont know
[04:38] <Chaotic_Descent> anyone know what that app is called that's loaded every time you try to upload/download/save/load files?
[04:38] <kuthux> ubuntu studio is just additional packages to original ubuntu
[04:38] <central> yes but office is not installed like fur ubuntu desktop
[04:38] <harriseldon> Kattollikisd what did you do to erase it? Have you check the system logs? System->Administration->System Logs
[04:38] <histo> Chaotic_Descent: you mena the file browser? like nautilus?
=== criminy is now known as criminy[zz]
[04:39] <histo> browns win
[04:39] <kuthux> central: so themn u install it manually ?
[04:39] <central> yes
[04:39] <Chaotic_Descent> histo: no, not nautilus. nautilus doesn't upload or download or save or load files within applications.
[04:39] <bobertdos> Kattollikisd: and are you sure you actually "deleted" it? It sounds like it just might not be  mounting.
[04:39] <kuthux> central: u install it from repository?
[04:39] <histo> Chaotic_Descent: yeah but its called to specify a location when you hit browse
[04:39] <kuthux> central: what errors do u have ?
[04:39] <central> i installed it with add/remove
[04:40] <kuthux> central u mean synaptic ?
[04:40] <central> well office can not find the language dictionary but it is installed
[04:40] <central> i did it with sympatic install
[04:40] <central> yes
[04:40] <kuthux> central: it's synaptic not sympatic lol
[04:41] <central> nop ...lol
[04:41] <Chaotic_Descent> histo: well Nautilus is set not to display hidden files right now, so why are they displayed whenever I download/upload/save/load files from other applications like FireFox or gedit?
[04:41] <histo> Chaotic_Descent: hit ctrl + h in that dialog
[04:41] <kuthux> central: maybe it's about dependencies
[04:41] <histo> Chaotic_Descent: when the download window is displayed hit ctrl+h will toggle them being displayed.
[04:41] <central> i think so yes
[04:42] <Kattollikisd> bobertdos, the USB Drive is now Mount, the Nautilus detect it, I can send and delete file right now, but I don't see it in the desktop, I erased it like this ( Shift - Delete ) can u help me ? :(
[04:42] <kuthux> then try to find out, $sudo apt-get -f install
[04:42] <izinucs> Chaotic_Descent, then they're not hidden anymore.. check with the terminal... to be hidden the file should have a "." in front of the name.
[04:42] <Chaotic_Descent> histo: thanks. how did that accidentally get turned on, then off, then on again? I don't ever remember knowing about that.

[04:44] <Chaotic_Descent> did I somehow lose the rights to mount this NTFS drive because I locked my screen and logged back in again? I can't figure out why I can do this at my mom's house and not here. I don't mess around with account settings.
[04:45] <akio> first time using it

[04:46] <Kattollikisd> kuthux, I didn't understand you :(
[04:46] <kuthux> Kattollikisd: why would u have icons of mounted partition on desktop?
[04:47] <mrpockets> k
[04:47] <mrpockets> heres one
[04:47] <mrpockets>  in terminal
[04:47] <mrpockets> instead of CD /directory/here
[04:47] <mrpockets> is there a command to open the directory listing in a window?
[04:48] <Kattollikisd> kuthux, what?
[04:48] <beautifulsnow> Mmmm I'm running compiz + emerald , but I'd like to have the metacity window frame... when i do metacity --replace, compiz goes away too... how can i get compiz+metacity ?
[04:48] <bobertdos> Kattollikisd: You could add an entry in fstab with noauto. That would kind of give you the same effect.
[04:48] <wickers> mrpockets, you mean like #ls -l /path/to/directory
[04:48] <wickers> ?
[04:49] <harriseldon> mrpockets try gnome-open
[04:49] <harriseldon> mrpockets it will open the default gnome app for any file or directory
[04:49] <kuthux> maybe mrpockets wants GUI
[04:50] <the_dude> how do i close an application by the terminal, like close firefox right now?
[04:50] <harriseldon> mrpockets ie gnome-open /directory/here
[04:50] <Kattollikisd> bobertdos, I don't know much about this system, can you tell me more about "fstab"or noauto"?

[04:51] <the_dude> and kill is what for?
[04:51] <chaddy> the_dude: that doesn't make sense
[04:51] <harriseldon> the_dude try man kill
[04:51] <wickers> man killall
[04:52] <the_dude> ive already finished, i just wanna know, and kill is for wat?
[04:52] <bpat1434> I have an eSATA drive I want to automount, what should the fstab file look like?  Or is there an easier way to do it than manually editing fstab?
[04:52] <wickers> the_dude, kill is to end a process
[04:52] <wickers> firefox is the process name
[04:52] <wickers> killall lets you name the process and kill all named
[04:52] <the_dude> wickers, ok thx.
[04:52] <the_dude> thx guys, bye see ya!

[05:06] <Arcticfox> *what do i

[05:07] <kuthux> beautifulsnow: it will only works if at least one nautilus window opened during the action
[05:07] <fserve> hitman1985, dont know
[05:07] <hitman1985> i had wine last time and ran winrar that way, but its just tooo much of a hassle :(
[05:07] <kuthux> beautifulsnow: so then i have to open nautilus first before doing things on gconf-editor
[05:07] <hitman1985> fserve: any good archive handler what will do all archives there are ;-) ?
[05:08] <Arcticfox> does anyone know what i needa type into terminal to get my hardware information ?
[05:08] <kuthux> any suggestion ?
[05:08] <Chaotic_Descent> how the hell do I figure out what has stopped allowing me to automatically mount this SDcard in a USB adapter? I went to the URL the error window directed me to. I ran all the commands. apparently it still hasn't fixed the problem.
[05:08] <beautifulsnow> kuthux, oh. I havent seen that. but when you do save your changes, and you close naultilus, the changes youve made stick, riht?
[05:08] <fserve> hmm, dont knwo
[05:08] <Chaotic_Descent> also, why can't I copy the text in the error window like I can in Windows?
[05:08] <fserve> i just use console one, sorry
[05:08] <Arcticfox> anyone at all?
[05:09] <hitman1985> fserve: :( thanks vm anyways :)
[05:09] <holyguyver> How do you tell apt to install all of the debs in a folder?
[05:09] <kuthux> beautifulsnow: the changes aplly only if i open nautilus during the process
[05:10] <decomp> what does the error mean: /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lXv ? is that a flag or is it actually looking for something?
[05:10] <Chaotic_Descent> Mount is denied because setuid and setgid root ntfs-3g is insecure with the external FUSE library. Either remove the setuid/setgid bit from the binary or rebuild NTFS-3G with integrated FUSE support and make it setuid root.
[05:10] <amrik> holyguyver: find . -exec "sudo dpkg -i \{};"
[05:10] <amrik> holyguyver: find . -name "*.deb" -exec "sudo dpkg -i \{};"
[05:10] <Chaotic_Descent> huh... I think I actually made it worse somehow... so... how do I rebuild NTFS etc? (and how the hell did I mess this up to begin with??)
[05:11] <Flannel> holyguyver: assuming there aren't too many of them, `dpkg -i *.deb` will work too

[05:21] <Flannel> bobertdos: and you'll be migrating to a separate partition? or reinstalling overtop (leaving your home?) or what?

[05:23] <BlueEagle> paul68: Just barely.
[05:23] <holyguyver> Flannel, but before that my computer had 2.4
[05:23] <Flannel> bobertdos: If you reinstall overtop with a separate home, then your old settings will survive.  Anything thats changed config file formats will likely know how to automatically convert to the new format.

[05:25] <holyguyver> Flannel, & as I saidall of the debs say 3.0.0-9
[05:25] <Flannel> holyguyver: the package name wouldn't be "open office" it may be hyphenated, etc.  Likely with a -3.0 at the end or something.
[05:25] <legend2440> if i do a clean install of intrepid. if i do dpkg --get-selections >myselections to get a list of all installed packages in hardy. is there a way to use this list to install the same packages in intrepid? so i dont have to install them all individually

[05:26] <Flannel> kuthux: 5 minutes by default, and you do it in your sudoers file
[05:26] <brutalchrist> alguien que hable español y que sepa shell script?
[05:26] <brutalchrist> xD
[05:27] <kuthux> ok Flannel, i'll check it out
[05:27] <paul68> !esp |brutalchrist
[05:27] <ubottu> Sorry, I don't know anything about esp
[05:27] <BlueEagle> paul68: The one thing that I worry about is your linksys acting as a router with it's own dhcp server. You might want to investigate the possibility for it to ask your linux box for ip-adresses. Especially if you want to forward traffic to any of the machines connected via wireless. If this is not an issue then it looks good.
[05:27] <Flannel> kuthux: sorry, default is 15

[05:27] <ubottu> brutalchrist: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es.
[05:27] <Srle> so, read man for sudo
[05:27] <holyguyver> Flannel,  here http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/57281/ it says 3.0 in that
[05:28] <brutalchrist> ok
[05:28] <kuthux> Flannel:  nothing said about timeout in /etc/sudoers
[05:28] <Flannel> kuthux: correct.  Its got a default value. timestamp_timeout
[05:28] <paul68> BlueEagle: the part of the dhcp is going to be 2 nics instead of 4
[05:28] <Flannel> holyguyver: you have both 3.0 and 2.4, so they have different binaries, you're still running the 2.4
[05:29] <BlueEagle> paul68: Also, the firewall script that is listed there is more easily done with shorewall or even firestarter.
[05:29] <holyguyver> Flannel, so what do I do about that?
[05:29] <paul68> BlueEagle: the part I was interested in was the way the dhcp server is setup for the 2 nics
[05:30] <kuthux> Flannel: so where is the timestamp_timeout ?
[05:30] <paul68> BlueEagle: also have webmin installed if that may be helpfull?
[05:30] <holyguyver> Flannel, sure is a popular guy :p
[05:30] <Flannel> holyguyver: They're likely called different things.  I have no idea what the binary for it is called, looks like ooffice.  so, go to a terminal, type "oo" and hit tab, you'll see a list of things it could be.
[05:30] <legend2440> kuthux: see post #5    http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=763142
[05:30] <Flannel> holyguyver: I'll bet ooffice3 is the binary, but you'll have to check
[05:31] <Flannel> kuthux:
[05:31] <Flannel> kuthux: Its not set by default.  Its omitted, with a default value internally.  You'll have to set it.
[05:31] <kuthux> Flannel: ok
[05:31] <holyguyver> Flannel,  bash: oo: command not found
[05:31] <holyguyver> O wait I didn't hit tab
[05:32] <holyguyver> Alright it worked
[05:32] <Flannel> holyguyver: do you see some command with 3 at the end?
[05:32] <holyguyver> Flannel,  oo oobase          oodraw          oofromtemplate  ooweb oocalc          ooffice         ooimpress       oowriter

[05:33] <Flannel> holyguyver: Obviously not.  Ok, do this: dpkg -L openoffice.org3-writer | grep /usr/bin
[05:33] <kuthux> Flannel: solved, thx@lot
[05:33] <Flannel> holyguyver: that'll give you the binaries contained in that package
[05:33] <Crusader_tech> Ok, I think i'm completely head over heals for Ubuntu.  There seems to have been some huge improvements in WINE since I last looked, and the few critical windows apps I had are running great, with little setup.
[05:34] <Crusader_tech> So is it true I really dont have to mess with anti-virus software?
[05:34] <sravan> how to install SQL in linux..?
[05:34] <BlueEagle> paul68: the shorewall module for webmin is outdated. Not sure how up-to-date the other modules are.
[05:34] <holyguyver> Flannel, when I did that nothing came up.
[05:35]  * rkvirani has to go study his philosophy
[05:35] <BlueEagle> paul68: I'm not using dhcpd3. I use dnsmasq for my dns requirements.

[05:36] <paul68> BlueEagle: ok just thought I'd mentioned it before we are working and you come to the conclusion that it's easier through webmin :-)   ok I will ask my friend here
[05:36] <sledge> I have just finished installing my WInTV HVR 1600 tuner card
[05:36] <Srle> holy.. - so whats the problem
[05:36] <holyguyver> Flannel, there was no output.
[05:36] <sledge> i get this error   75.404890] cx18-0: unable to open firmware v4l-cx23418-dig.fw
[05:36] <Flannel> holyguyver: Without the grep?
[05:37] <holyguyver> Flannel, I typed in this dpkg -L openoffice.org3-writer | grep /usr/bin
[05:37] <Flannel> holyguyver: right, pastebin the output of dpkg -L openoffice.org3-writer
[05:37] <Lartza_> Srle: i cant acceess dos mode in any way
[05:37] <james_dean> hey
[05:37] <mochabcha> I can't get any ports open to use Transmission
[05:37] <mochabcha> does anyone know how in Ubuntu Hardy
[05:37] <james_dean> Question, What does setting the broadcast IP with ifconfig do?
[05:38] <holyguyver> Flannel, /opt/openoffice.org3/program/swriter
[05:39] <sledge> omg
[05:39] <sledge> i i think i just messe dup
[05:39] <holyguyver> Srle, it would seem that I have both oo 2.4 & 3.0 on my system but can  only reach 2.4 & only want 3.0 on my system.
[05:39] <Flannel> holyguyver: Oh, it installed to /opt/?  interesting.  That's unusual.
[05:39] <Srle> hoholyguyver, ok...
[05:39] <Flannel> holyguyver: then there you go.  That's your path to start writer.
[05:39] <james_dean> Has anyone ever ran a steam source server on ubuntu?  I am having some real difficulties accessing the server.
[05:39] <BlueEagle> james_dean: it sets the tcp/ip broadcast address for that interface.
[05:39] <holyguyver> Flannel, I guess so, why did it install there?
[05:39] <james_dean> ok
[05:39] <Srle> hoholyguyver,  go to that dir and search for execurtable
[05:40] <Flannel> holyguyver: Because thats where the package told it to install.  It's third party, could do anything.
[05:40] <airtonix> mochabcha, best way is to use a dedicated port...you need to port-forward a port on your router to your machine and tell transmission to use that port
[05:40] <holyguyver> Flannel, how do I tell it to uninstall that & install it in the correct location?
[05:40] <BlueEagle> james_dean: Are you running a firewall? Is your modem/router forwarding traffic to your server?
[05:40] <holyguyver> Flannel, I got the package from oo.org's website, it is their deb package.
[05:41] <james_dean> NO firewall that I know of, this is a clean hardy server install.  My router is forwarding all ports to it correctly, however I still cant get on my lan....
[05:41] <Srle> hoholyguyver,   ls /opt/openoffice.org3/program/swriter
[05:41] <james_dean> from my windows server to the other.  I can SSH, FTP, HTTP, you name it... just not steam
[05:41] <airtonix> mochabcha, and then you'll need to allow traffic on that port using the firestarter user interface of your choice
[05:41] <Flannel> holyguyver: you don't tell it to uninstall and reinstall in a "correct" location.  That's the location its installing.  It's not wrong, just unusual.
[05:41] <airtonix> mochabcha, i meant firewall ui...usually this is firestarter
[05:42] <holyguyver> Flannel, How do I tell it to install in the place of the 2.4 one?
[05:42] <Flannel> holyguyver: you don't.  Not with those packages.
[05:42] <mochabcha> I don't think there is a firewall active, is there a way to tell
[05:42] <Srle> first uninstall 2.4
[05:42] <BlueEagle> james_dean: How is your network topology set up?
[05:42] <Flannel> Srle: Won't help.
[05:42] <airtonix> mochabcha, i've noticed that in order to get decent speeds you need to also raise the maximum peers per torrent with transmission
[05:42] <mrpockets> k
[05:42] <mrpockets> I need someone who really knows their shizznaazzzz
[05:43] <mrpockets> configuring Amarok's engine
[05:43] <mrpockets> configured to use ALSA
[05:43] <airtonix> mochabcha, ubuntu uses iptables for the firewall...so you have had one since day one. you ccan install firestarter or ufw to control the firewall.
[05:43] <mrpockets> with 6_ channels being on the 5.1 interface
[05:43] <holyguyver> Flannel,  Srle you two argue over this & give me the best solution that you two come up with :p
[05:43] <Srle> sudo apt-get remove openoffice  (old)   then install the .deb package with dpkg -i openoffice.newone
[05:43] <mrpockets> but on the Stereo : default, i want that to use my line-out
[05:43] <Flannel> holyguyver: There is no better solution.  You're installed, they're installed.  Use them.
[05:43] <amenado> mochabcha--> to check firewall rules..  sudo iptables -vL
[05:44] <mochabcha> what am I looking for
[05:44] <airtonix> amenado, which isnt going to mean much to a novice
[05:44] <holyguyver> Srle, there is not one deb, it is around 50 debs
[05:44] <mochabcha> amenado: sry* what am I looking for
[05:44] <holyguyver> Flannel, but there are no menu icons, I cannot reach it.
[05:44] <amenado> mochabcha--> you look if there are any rules, you can paste in pastebin for us to check
[05:44] <holyguyver> Flannel, I can only reach the old one.
[05:44] <mochabcha> amenado: ok holon
[05:44] <kernando> so my graphics look really weird right now...when i right click on the desktop and go to change desktop bkround etc.. it says unable to start the setting s manager'gnome-settings-daemon'
[05:44] <sweetgum> could someone tell me the keyboard command to go from the dos/kernel mode to the login screen?
[05:44] <james_dean> Anyways, my network is setup like this.   I have a tomato router connecting to the internet, connected to that is my windows pc (gaming) and my linux server is on the router too
[05:44] <goat|lappy> holyguyver: you have to redirect the menu to the new location
[05:45] <kernando> how do i fix it just do a restart or something?
[05:45] <Srle> holyguyver,  what's the output of  "ls /opt/openoffice.org3/program/swriter"
[05:45] <amenado> mochabcha--> you can also use google to look for a sample results of iptables -vL to compare
[05:45] <goat|lappy> system -> pref -> main menu
[05:45] <Flannel> holyguyver: The packages don't have menu items included in them, you'll have to create them yourself.
[05:45] <holyguyver> Srle, there was no output to that.
[05:45] <Srle> holyguyver,  what's the output of  "ls /opt/openoffice.org3/program/"
[05:45] <Srle> sorry
[05:45] <Flannel> holyguyver: You can reach the new ones by typing in their locations, etc.
[05:45] <sweetgum> could someone tell me the keyboard command to go from the dos/kernel mode to the login screen?
[05:45] <mochabcha> amenado: http://pastebin.com/d1e55f171
[05:45] <Srle> startx
[05:46] <Srle> sweetgim - startx
[05:46] <Flannel> holyguyver: They're not Ubuntu packages, you should be happy they installed (and hopefully work) at all.
[05:46] <james_dean> is there a default firewall on hardy server?
[05:46] <sweetgum> srle: it isn't installed
[05:46] <indian_munnda> sweetgum: ctrl+alt+f7
[05:46] <airtonix> mochabcha, just install ufw : sudo apt-get install ufw , then : sudo ufw enable && sudo ufw status.
[05:46] <paul68> amenado: can you check for me if the dhcp part of the next link (in my case 2 nics) is the correct way to set it up with a dns server thanks in advance http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=119787
[05:46] <sweetgum> indian_munnda: thats what im looking for
[05:46] <amenado> mochabcha--> yep, you have rulez , therefore your firewall is active
[05:46] <sweetgum> indian_munnda: thanks.
[05:46] <indian_munnda> sweetgum: mention not
[05:46] <airtonix> james_dean, yes... its called iptables, you can use firestarter or ufw to control it
[05:46] <Srle> i think your version 3 is not installed corectly
[05:47] <james_dean> what is the easiest way to control it from comand line
[05:47] <holyguyver> Srle, I agree with you there.
[05:47] <BlueEagle> james_dean: also, by default all traffic is allowed trough the firewall unchecked.
[05:47] <airtonix> james_dean, , just install ufw : sudo apt-get install ufw , then : sudo ufw enable && sudo ufw status.
[05:47] <BlueEagle> james_dean: However, the firewall does allow for some nice logging features.
[05:47] <airtonix> james_dean, to allow traffic on port 80 to enter your machine : sudo ufw allow 80
[05:47] <Srle> can you tell me the source to that 3.0 package so I can see what it is
[05:47] <Srle> and what architecrture u use
[05:48] <airtonix> james_dean, take some time to read this page : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=510812
[05:48] <BlueEagle> james_dean: oh, and don't try to set up a firewall if you have got no physical access to the box. You will almost certainly lock yourself out during the process.
[05:48] <james_dean> Blue, I just cant figure out why my source server isnt accepting pings or anything from my client.  I try under hlsw too
[05:48] <holyguyver> Srle, I got it from the oo.org website & it was the deb 385 or whatever archutecture
[05:48] <Srle> 385?
[05:48] <sweetgum> Srle: are you talking to me?
[05:48] <airtonix> mochabcha, you also take some time to read this page : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=510812
[05:49] <Srle> you mean 386?
[05:49] <Flannel> holyguyver: It's installed correctly.  It's a third party package, they can tell it to install whereever they want.  It's installed.  Use it. Please stop wasting Srle's time.
[05:49] <Srle> i386?
[05:49] <amenado> paul68--> those are the tutorials i referred you to, for your case you only need to activate the serving of dchp on your eth1, as I recall I suggested you use eth0 towards your ISP and eth1 towards your lan
[05:49] <BlueEagle> james_dean: If your server has got more than one NIC then you might be listening on the wrong one.
[05:49] <Srle> Flannel - it;s ok
[05:49] <james_dean> hmm
[05:49] <holyguyver> Flannel, shut up, if Srle wants to help that is his choice.
[05:49] <DigitalFiz> when i plug my camera in it doesnt mount the 2 drives does anyone know how i can debug this and fix it?
[05:49] <BlueEagle> !tab | james_dean
[05:49] <ubottu> james_dean: You can use <tab> for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line.
[05:49] <Flannel> holyguyver: there's nothing he can help you *with*
[05:50] <james_dean> I have an lo and an eth0
[05:50] <Srle> give me the exact link of what u downloaded to install
[05:50] <holyguyver> Srle, Yes 386, I guess I am one point short of an archutecture in my head :p
[05:50] <Srle> holyguyver give me the exact link of what u downloaded to install
[05:50] <amenado> james_dean--> same for you,  sudo iptables -vL   to see if rules are active
[05:50] <mochabcha> amenado: ufw is active and it seems that the port 21376 is active http://pastebin.com/d71995ea7
[05:50] <james_dean> sudo: iptables: command not found
[05:50] <Srle> and give me the output of "uname -a" command
[05:51] <james_dean> Linux hellcat 2.6.24-19-server #1 SMP Wed Aug 20 18:43:06 UTC 2008 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[05:51] <mochabcha> amenado: however, when I choose this port in Transmission, it tells me the port is closed
[05:51] <airtonix> amenado, the output of that command is gibberish to a novice... compare it to the output of : sudo ufw status
[05:51] <Think_Differentl> does ubuntu keep building CD images for ppc, even though it's not supported officially?
[05:51] <Srle> holyguyver - give me the output of "uname -a" and the exact location of what you downlaoded to isntall
[05:51] <holyguyver> Srle, uname -a Linux jack-desktop 2.6.24-19-generic #1 SMP Wed Aug 20 22:56:21 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux
[05:51] <amenado> mochabcha--> if you dont know iptables, i can not help you much
[05:51] <BlueEagle> james_dean: sudo apt-get install iptables
[05:51] <airtonix> mochabcha, its becuase you need to port forward that port and open it. like i said easiest way is with ufw, unless you want to spend couple months learning how to use iptables directly
[05:52] <Srle> holyguyver - now give me the exact link of what package you downladed
[05:52] <amenado> james_dean--> you dont have iptables?   on command line type    which iptables
[05:52] <paul68> amenado: oeps my mistake got so many links and reading them first before taking action, but the first part of the dhcp config it lists out all the subnet and stuff, if modify my dhcp conf will it be sufficient for the dhcp part
[05:52] <james_dean> nope
[05:52] <holyguyver> Srle, http://openoffice.bouncer.osuosl.org/?product=OpenOffice.org&os=linuxinteldeb&lang=en-US&version=3.0.0
[05:52] <james_dean> let me try
[05:52] <Srle> holyguyver - ok, wait a min..
[05:52] <airtonix> BlueEagle, there is no need to install it...its already there
[05:52] <lastdays> asd
[05:52] <james_dean> If I install iptables, wont it just start blocking things?
[05:53] <BlueEagle> airtonix: then why does he get a command not found?
[05:53] <amenado> james_dean--> nope, you have to create the rules first
[05:53] <james_dean> ah thank you amenado
[05:53] <airtonix> sigh
[05:53] <holyguyver> Flannel, then let me put it this way, if he wants to waste his time helping me needlessly tweak my system, then that is his choice.
[05:53] <james_dean> which iptables returns no results
[05:53] <airtonix> james_dean, locate iptables | grep bin
[05:54] <airtonix> james_dean, but as i said...unless you already know how to manipulate iptables with awesome proficiency...you should just stick to ufw
[05:54] <amenado> paul68--> what have you done yet? guessing from the tutorial is not my way of assisting, perhaps you can paste in pastebin the dhcp config file you have
[05:54] <Flannel> holyguyver: there's no tweaking to be done.  I have no idea what you think you're going to accomplish.  Packages install to pre-determined locations.  the OOo people want that to install to /opt/ and don't include .desktop files for icons.  It's simple as that, there is no more.  you'll have to hand-configure your menu entries.
[05:55] <amenado> james_dean--> i think airtonix knows your situation well, giving you commands regarding iptables will not help if you do not understood what they do
[05:55] <airtonix> james_dean, which leads me to my next point, if your new to networking security then all of this isnt going to be obvious with out some time set aisde to read stuff
[05:56] <amenado> james_dean--> so bottom line, read up more tutorials
[05:56] <holyguyver> Flannel, did you not see my word "Needlessly" that means that no tweaking needs to be done, but if I choose to tweak my system I may, that is the whole thing about Free Software.
[05:56] <airtonix> james_dean, heck *i* dont even know how to manipulate iptables...its a nightmare
[05:56] <james_dean> Dang airtonix!
[05:56] <Srle> holyguyver - so it was one "something.deb" file?
[05:56] <airtonix> james_dean, so have a look at installing ufw. sudo apt-get install ufw
[05:56] <james_dean> Its frustrating,  I am on a lan and the stupid server wont see it.  I can ssh, ftp, http, you name it
[05:56] <james_dean> Do I need iptables or ufw to run a lan server?
[05:56] <holyguyver> Srle,  no I already told you it was 50 or so .deb files.
[05:57] <amenado> james_dean--> wait a minute, the problem is the destination or your localhost?
[05:57] <backslash7> Good morning
[05:57] <airtonix> james_dean, you *should* have iptables as part of the default install....
[05:57] <james_dean> ok I have two computers on one router.
[05:57] <Srle> and how did you installed them?
[05:57] <airtonix> james_dean, this command will tell you if this is true or not : locate iptables | grep bin
[05:57] <james_dean> One is a windows client, running windows xp 64 bit.  The other is a pretty clean install of hardy server
[05:57] <james_dean> 64
[05:57] <holyguyver> Srle, ask flannel, he told me, it was dpkg something
[05:58] <james_dean> I just installed ufw and iptables
[05:58] <airtonix> james_dean, on your hardy run : locate iptables | grep bin
[05:58] <james_dean> UFW is disabled
[05:58] <airtonix> james_dean, sudo ufw enable
[05:58] <james_dean> Firewall started and enabled on system startup
[05:58] <amenado> james_dean--> okay, so you are pinging which? from where? and what command you use to ping?
[05:58] <backslash7> I screwed up my Ubuntu installation but I'm not able to uninstall it, I just can't. The problem is that Gnome is pretty fucked up, meaning that I have no options in "Connect to server", the themes are uncomplete and so on. An even bigger problem is that I can't install stuff using apt-get, e.g. xchat depends on libperl 5.8 but 5.10 is installed "but is not going to be installed" I get those confusing error messages all the time.
[05:58] <backslash7> Any help really appreciated!
[05:58] <backslash7> I don't know what to do anymore.
[05:59] <james_dean> I can ping the server just fine, like I said, I ssh to it alot, from work behind a corporate firewall
[05:59] <airtonix> james_dean, now when you want to open a port, say for example , port 9999 you would use : sudo ufw allow 9999
[05:59] <james_dean> ok
[05:59] <james_dean> how do I define udp or tcp?
[05:59] <backslash7> It's probably because I messed around with libgtk and gtk(+) to develop in C, so Gnome is not working anymore.
[05:59] <Srle> then u allready installed it
[05:59] <Flannel> backslash7: Sounds like you have mixed repositories.
[05:59] <airtonix> james_dean, it will pay to read this page : https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/firewall.html
[05:59] <backslash7> Flannel: Yes, I once modified the sources.list but I changed it back
[05:59] <amenado> backslash7--> you have the liveCD ? use that to re-install
[05:59] <james_dean> Thank you airtonix
[06:00] <backslash7> amenado: I can't reinstall it, it's not my computer. I just have to FIX it, not reinstall.... Or what do you mean?
[06:00] <airtonix> james_dean, and this one for general rundown on how security is handled in ubuntu : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=510812
[06:00] <indian_munnda> backslash7: do sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[06:00] <Srle> holyguyver,  what's the output of  "ls /opt/openoffice.org3/program/swriter"  --  or if you can run "mc" in terminal - use it to browse through that oo3 folder and see what was actually installed there
[06:00] <Flannel> backslash7: When you modified (and installed/upgraded the new stuff), changing it back in the sources.list won't help.  You'll have to downgrade each package that was upgraded, etc.
[06:00] <backslash7> amenado: Can I reinstall just the Gnome stuff but keep /home data and settings ?
[06:00] <backslash7> indian_munnda: I did that, it's still all messed up and uncomplete
[06:00] <james_dean> got any info on runlevels?
[06:01] <Gnea> backslash7: could be the ~/.gnome* and/or ~/.gconf* directories have malformed data in them
[06:01] <backslash7> Flannel: Hmm... and how would I do that?
[06:01] <holyguyver> Srle, I am talking to you in PMs
[06:01] <indian_munnda> backslash7: do u have sufficient space on hdd
[06:01] <backslash7> Flannel: I went to console modus and removed everthing gnome* after changing source.list back
[06:01] <Gnea> backslash7: does the problem persist if you make a new account and log into it?
[06:01] <amenado> backslash7--> umm, listen to indian_munnda --he's got good ideas
[06:01] <backslash7> Gnea: I could try if you want me to, may it help?
[06:01] <backslash7> indian_munnda: Yes, I do. Why? Create backup of /home and reinstall ?
[06:02] <Gnea> backslash7: it would help determine where the real issue is
[06:02] <backslash7> Gnea: Okay, I'll give it a shot then
=== co_mut is now known as co_mu
[06:02] <Flannel> backslash7: perl would be one thing, etc.  probably a number of other lower level packages as well.  I agree that a reinstall would be easiest.  And yes, if you move /home to a separate partition, you'll be able to reinstall without affecting it.
[06:03] <Flannel> backslash7: the other alternative would be to complete the upgrade
[06:03] <backslash7> Flannel: The second option would be better for me....
[06:03] <backslash7> Since I don't really wanna change big things on this computer
[06:03] <backslash7> Like messing around with data and partitions....
[06:04] <backslash7> May I solve the problem with apt-get stuff only? Downgrade everything and so on....
[06:04] <paul68> amenado: http://pastebin.ca/1226545
[06:04] <Gnea> backslash7: i agree with Flannel that an upgrade is probably in order. what results from lsb_release -r
[06:04] <amenado> james_dean--> what do you meant by ", I just cant figure out why my source server isnt accepting pings or anything from my client.  I try under hlsw too"  but you also said I can ping the server just fine, like I said, I ssh to it alot, from work behind a corporate firewall..conflicting infos
[06:04] <airtonix> It seems that some of the new helpers here have some fairly advanced experience with linux, but are not aware of the more simple approaches to the situations many new users a facing. it would pay to become familiar with those aspects so we dont create fear amongst the newcomers trying to get to grips with ubuntu...
[06:05] <backslash7> Gnea: 8.04
[06:05] <ledenby> airtonix: amen!
[06:05] <Flannel> backslash7: downgrading is tedious, etc.  But technically doable.
[06:05] <backslash7> Flannel: I'd try it if I can....
[06:06] <Gnea> backslash7: have you looked at the system logs yet to see if maybe there's a problem with the hard drive?
[06:06] <airtonix> and conversly many new users seem to be new to the idea of providing concise and clear information about their situation, when we can both stop trying to sidestep important information for the sake of speeding things up...then we can all help each other with quality support
[06:06] <backslash7> Gnea: No, the problem just started after I messed around with gtk stuff
[06:06] <Gnea> backslash7: what do you mean, exactly, by "messed around"? installing/uninstalling or..?
[06:06] <indian_munnda> backslash7: i think u need to install gdm agian
[06:06] <amenado> paul68--> can you change your nick to something else, another paul keeps popping up when i tab twice
[06:06] <james_dean> amendo, I meant when I am on my windows pc and I try to connect via steam to the server, it will not connect.  It does not show the server in the lan browser, which on a windows server, there is no problem.
[06:07] <backslash7> Gnea: All sorts of stuff, uninstalled gtkxxxxx and libgtkxxxx reinstalled ,compiled from source... It was stupid....
[06:07] <james_dean> amendo,I dont know what I did wrong to my server, something must have gone wrong.
=== paul68 is now known as paul1968
[06:07] <xjohnthomasx> hi there, i have a very difficult problem -- gnome doesn't seem to store my wireless password settings, and it thus keeps me from being able to connect to any encrypted/secured wireless network.. i can connect to my network fine when it's unsecured, and my laptop which is running ubuntu 7.10 can connect to my wireless network  fine even when it's secured, but this desktop with 8.04 ubuntu just won't!! please anyone help!!!
[06:07] <backslash7> indian_munnda: Gdm seems to be working fine, actually.... Why do you think so ?
[06:07] <amenado> james_dean--> what does it mean by connect via steam?  what application is that?
[06:07] <Gnea> backslash7: oh! so you uninstalled things just to see how the system works?
[06:07] <paul1968> amenado: better like this
[06:07] <indian_munnda> backslash7: you said that your gnome is not working fine
[06:08] <james_dean> amendo, steam is a application suite that runs halflife, counter-strike, and a bunch of other games.
[06:08] <backslash7> Gnea: No, I couldn't get it working with C. I wanted to develop something in C using gtk+
[06:08] <backslash7> indian_munnda: It isn't. True. Why ?
[06:08] <airtonix> amenado, steam is a platform for valves games, like half-life...its how they distribute and authenticate valid users
[06:08] <amenado> paul1968--> nope, that other paul keeps popping up
[06:08] <backslash7> The whole system is just pretty wasted
[06:08] <backslash7> ..
[06:08] <Gnea> backslash7: ah ok... are you able to update the repository information?
[06:08] <backslash7> yes
[06:08] <backslash7> update and upgrade
[06:08] <paul1968> amenado: darn your difficult lol
[06:08] <backslash7> all done
[06:09] <Gnea> backslash7: i may have missed it above, but were there any errors in regards to that?
[06:09] <amenado> paul1968--> i am trying to make it easy for me, so i dnt have to type much
[06:09] <backslash7> Gnea: No, it seemed to work fine. All up-to-data and complete. But it isn't, I'm missing all sorts of stuff
[06:09] <backslash7> e.g. trying to install xchat it say libperl5.8 is missing
[06:09] <Gnea> backslash7: okay, do you have pastebinit installed?
=== paul1968 is now known as carrebeanpirates
[06:09] <backslash7> The following packages have unmet dependencies:   xchat: Depends: libperl5.8 (>= 5.8.8) but it is not going to be installed E: Broken packages
[06:09] <carrebeanpirates> amenado: like this
[06:09] <backslash7> Gnea: No, what is it
[06:10] <amenado> james_dean--> are you running that steam services on ubuntu?
[06:10] <amenado> carrebeanpirates--> much better, no confusion
[06:10] <ljsoftnet> how will i know what packages have been installed, when installing from a .deb file?
[06:10] <Gnea> backslash7: it's a simple program that allows you to pastebin massive amounts of text without having to select it all
[06:10] <backslash7> oka
[06:10] <Gnea> see if you can install it
[06:10] <backslash7> Gnea: Why, what do you want me to pastebin
[06:10] <xjohnthomasx> aargghhhhhhhhh where are all the super ubuntu geniuses? where is agent_bob and intuitive nipple?????
[06:10] <Flannel> backslash7: Now you manually install that package (sudo apt-get install libperl5.8) and see what error it gives, if its "but is not going to be installed" follow it one step further, etc.  Eventually you'll get an actual error message.
[06:10] <Flannel> ljsoftnet: dpkg -L package
[06:11] <Gnea> backslash7: well, you may need to pastebin some of the full errors - it would make troubleshooting much easier
=== slaytani1 is now known as slaytanic
[06:11] <FuDGe2> xjohnthomasx: I'm no super ubuntu genius, but mebbe try wicd as your network manager?
[06:11] <backslash7> Gnea: okay
[06:11] <amenado> james_dean--> if your ubuntu server is also sealed tight to block those protocols (by steam) then you'd have a problem,
[06:11] <Rezagrats> I need to shut off my computer in about an hour or after Devede creates the *.iso ... is there a way ?
[06:11] <backslash7> Flannel: I tried that long time before, i got until perl-baes (is already newest version)
[06:11] <backslash7> Keep getting errors
[06:12] <backslash7> Gnea: pastebinit is here.
[06:12] <ljsoftnet> Flannel, when am i going to use it?
[06:12] <amenado> carrebeanpirates--> that paste you provided, that was the contents of which file again?
[06:12] <Flannel> ljsoftnet: what?
[06:12] <backslash7> Gnea: Am I gonna need pipes and stuff like that? Because my Alt-Gr isn't working for the pipe sign
[06:12] <backslash7> :P
[06:12] <`r0ot> Hello...,
[06:12] <carrebeanpirates> amenado: of my dhcp server and the network interfaces
[06:12] <Gnea> backslash7: yeah, can you do a shift-\  ?
[06:13] <ubuntu_todd> when I was watching yahoo music video in firefox. There would a  flv file in /tmp lasting no more than 1 sec? why?
[06:13] <amenado> carrebeanpirates--> line 1 should not be in those files..
[06:13] <backslash7> Gnea: I'm on Swiss German keyboard, the backslash is not even reachable.... Since Alt-Gr isn't working
[06:13] <backslash7> Alt-Gr <> key is backslash here
[06:13] <airtonix> Rezagrats, i dont think devede supports 'auto shutdown when finished tasks' does it?
[06:13] <Gnea> backslash7: oh wow... are you stuck in console?
[06:13] <backslash7> Gnea: No, I'm in Gnome
[06:13] <Gnea> backslash7: here:  |
[06:13] <backslash7> Can't get AltGr working
[06:13] <backslash7> ok thx xD
[06:13] <backslash7> hahahaha
[06:13] <Gnea> lol
[06:13] <backslash7> Copied
[06:14] <FloodBot3> backslash7: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[06:14] <backslash7> Yeh sorry :P
[06:14] <geremy> does anybody know if there is an equivalent to zenity for e17?

[06:14] <airtonix> !enter | backslash7
[06:14] <ubottu> backslash7: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[06:14] <Rezagrats> Airtonix, it doesn't. that's why im asking if there's an automated way of doing it. maybe a delayed hibernate function ?
[06:14] <carrebeanpirates> amenado: you mean the auto lo and Inet lo?
[06:14] <backslash7> Gnea: Okay, got the pipe. What now?
[06:14] <amenado> carrebeanpirates--> also, I do not see your dhcp config file, thats just your interfaces file
[06:14] <Flannel> ljsoftnet: Yes, after installing it.
[06:14] <FPtje> hi
[06:14] <ljsoftnet> Flannel ah ok
[06:15] <FPtje> I've got some problems with my ubuntu
[06:15] <airtonix> Rezagrats, possibly i tried this awhile ago with a update of packages but, i did it wrong...im not sure what the cli command for hiberation without user input is
[06:15] <Gnea> backslash7: dpkg -l | grep ^ii | grep gtk | pastebinit
[06:15] <FPtje> When it starts up It gives an error where I have to enter my pass
[06:15] <`r0ot> how i can protect myself from Arp Spoofing ?
[06:15] <FPtje> and itś not the login screen
[06:15] <FPtje> http://img206.imageshack.us/my.php?image=errorta0.png
[06:15] <amenado> carrebeanpirates--> per this http://pastebin.ca/1226545  line 1 is  dhcp server
[06:16] <backslash7> Gnea: "filename or pipe"
[06:16] <Taxyx> hi
[06:16] <airtonix> Rezagrats, in any case, you can schedule a shutdown with the shutdown command, have a look at the manual for the shutdown command
[06:16] <backslash7> Gnea: Error no arguments specified!
[06:16] <airtonix> Rezagrats, man shutdown
[06:16] <Gnea> backslash7: hrm... try this then:  pastebinit | dpkg -l | grep ^ii | grep gtk
[06:17] <carrebeanpirates> amenado: true it was only the dhcp server and the network interfaces the dhcp.conf didn't adapt this since I was not sure how to modify the config file like the howto is indicating
[06:17] <backslash7> Gnea: Is it uploaded now ?
[06:17] <carrebeanpirates> amenado: ok
[06:17] <Gnea> backslash7: i don't know, did it give you a url?
[06:17] <backslash7> no
[06:17] <Gnea> hrm
[06:17] <geremy> `r0ot: just hardcode your allowed MACs
[06:18] <backslash7> Gnea: Well, I got the output.
[06:18] <airtonix> Rezagrats, i think that if you know how long it will be before you can safely shutdown then : sudo shutdown -P 1h  (which would shutdown in an hours time)
[06:18] <amenado> carrebeanpirates--> kindly separate the two files when you paste, or clearly delineate where one file ends and the other begins
[06:18] <Gnea> backslash7: aaah... i see
[06:18] <mage__> for some reason when i switch to console (ctrl+alt+f1) music stops, how can I track this down?
[06:18] <carrebeanpirates> amenado: sorry me still learning
[06:18] <amenado> Rezagrats--> you can also use cron to shutdown,
[06:19] <Rezagrats> Airtonix, i rarely 'shutdown,' i usually just hit hibernate so that everything is still there.
[06:19] <Gnea> backslash7: dpkg -l | grep ^ii | grep gtk > gtk-stuff.txt && cat gtk-stuff.txt | pastebinit
[06:19] <airtonix> Rezagrats, i could be wrong though....it a pity that devede doesnt at least have an option to exit itself after tasks have completed because then you could chain the shutdown command after it
[06:19] <`r0ot> geremy: how i can do that ?
[06:19] <airtonix> Rezagrats, we woulld need to find out what the cli command for hibernate is then
[06:19] <backslash7> Gnea: :O Naise!!! http://pastebin.com/f3933c120
[06:19] <Gnea> :)
[06:19] <airtonix> Rezagrats, surely there is one...
[06:19] <amenado> Rezagrats--> you are able to make the hibernate work okay on ubuntu? you are the lucky few that have..most i see complain that it does not work when awakened
[06:20] <geremy> use the arp command
[06:20] <geremy> `r0ot: use the arp command
[06:20] <jim_p> hello!
[06:20] <carrebeanpirates> amenado: can I use the config file like its mentioned in the howto you send me
[06:20] <amenado> Rezagrats--> its not a big deal, write a scripts that checks the exist status of a command then execute another command based on that
[06:20] <airtonix> Rezagrats, here : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=813387
[06:20] <anden> hey
[06:20] <geremy> `r0ot: arp -i <interface> -s <ip> <mac>
[06:20] <Rezagrats> Amenado, yeah, it works.. but there's this annoying sound that goes off when i get the login part.
[06:21] <mage__> !pulse
[06:21] <ubottu> PulseAudio is a sound server intended as a drop-in replacement for !ESD - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio for information and installation instructions
[06:21] <mage__> ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh
[06:21] <`r0ot> oh that more easy from man :)
[06:21] <xjohnthomasx> FuDGe2, where do i get wicd? it isnt in the repo..???
[06:21] <geremy> `r0ot: you probably also want something like snort or arpwatch
[06:21] <backslash7> Gnea: So?
[06:21] <Gnea> backslash7: checking...
[06:21] <backslash7> k
[06:22] <FPtje> Guys
[06:22] <geremy> `r0ot: snort is more general, arpwatch better against the specific threat you're looking at
[06:22] <geremy> fptje: yes?
[06:22] <airtonix> amenado, that would be ideal, except that devede only quits when a user clicks exit...something Rezagrats wont be around to do when required.
[06:22] <amenado> carrebeanpirates--> lets back up a little, have you tried to connect your ubuntu directly yet to the isp/modem ? did the static ip address you set 213.x.x.x worked?
[06:22] <FPtje> I 've got an error on startup geremy
[06:22] <FPtje> http://img206.imageshack.us/my.php?image=errorta0.png
[06:22] <Srle> Rezagrats - go to system prefereneces sounds and disable sound on login event
[06:23] <airtonix> amenado, unless you are aware of some way to make devede quit when running tasks have completed ?
[06:23] <carrebeanpirates> amenado: like I said did not change anything yet before I'm sure the changes that I want to make are the right ones, this to avoid the wife getting mad and yelling there is no internet
[06:23] <backslash7> Gnea: Can I help in a way?
[06:23] <`r0ot> geremy: i got syntax error near unexpected token `newline'
[06:23] <geremy> fptje: ich sprechen nicht deutch
[06:23] <Rezagrats> Srle, this is when i start up from hibernate. just before the login window/box appears some incoherent sounds goes off (and it's not consistent, it's random. comes on often but not 100% of the time)
[06:23] <amenado> airtonix--> oh well, that is a limitation then if it has no way to pass status of what it is doing to the shell
[06:23] <FPtje> ITS DUTCH!
[06:23] <FPtje> Hurr :P
[06:24] <backslash7> ^^

[06:24] <Gnea> backslash7: okay....
[06:24] <geremy> fptje: i don't speak that either- I can barely manage english
[06:24] <FPtje> but you get the program names
[06:24] <backslash7> yes?
[06:24] <chaddy> supertanker: emacs?
[06:24] <airtonix> amenado, sometimes i think that recently created linux software ignores many of the concepts held dear for a long time.
[06:24] <supertanker> chaddy: Besides emacs
[06:24] <FPtje> which language do you speak then, french?
[06:24] <carrebeanpirates> Fptje Dutch is a good language I speak it like a charm
[06:24] <Srle> Rezagrats - dunno then... :(
[06:24] <Flannel> supertanker: text editors + LaTeX (and then some utilities to make them happier together, like aspell, etc) are probably your best bet
[06:24] <supertanker> I mean that I could use to write my books, etc.

[06:28] <geremy> does anybody know if there is an equivalent to zenity for e17?
[06:29] <amenado> carrebeanpirates--> then we can work one step at a time to create a router out of your ubuntu.. best way is to make a backup of files you are modifying to easily go back n forth
[06:29] <steven__> hey, I need to reformat a jump drive.
[06:29] <steven__> Can anyone help me out?
[06:29] <Gnea> backslash7: can you remove it?
[06:29] <FPtje> Theres noone online on the dutch channel
[06:29] <backslash7> This AWESOMELY SUCKS!
[06:29] <backslash7> ffs
[06:29] <FPtje> prolly cos its still early in the morning
[06:29] <amenado> steven__--> use fdisk
[06:29] <Gnea> backslash7: calm down - this can be fixed without reinstalling :)
[06:29] <FPtje> so how do I disable this?

[06:30] <DrDabbles> Flannel, I'm not asking how to back up my system. I'm well aware of that. I'm polling people to see what they personally use. I figure I would use this avenue versus popcon, as this is typically a more connected group.
[06:30] <geremy> DrDabbles: rdiff-backup
[06:30] <kc8pxy> if i dd if=/dev/mypartition of=/home/me/mybackup , can i mount -o loop -t fstype /home/me/mybackup /mnt ??
[06:30] <backslash7> Gnea: lol, listen
[06:30] <amenado> DrDabbles--> this is not a survey room..so you may not get much responses
[06:30] <Gnea> backslash7: okay... could you please pastebin the whole output:  sudo apt-get remove libperl | pastebinit
[06:30] <Srle> DrDabbles - i just use dd to image whole partition
[06:30] <backslash7> Gnea: 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 900 to remove and 0 not upgraded. After this operation, 2972MB disk space will be freed. You are about to do something potentially harmful. To continue type in the phrase 'Yes, do as I say!'  ?]

[06:31] <FPtje> Guys please help me
[06:31] <xjohnthomasx> FuDGe2, still doestn work
[06:31] <backslash7> Gnea: Couldn't find
[06:31] <Gnea> !patience | FPtje
[06:31] <ubottu> FPtje: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines
[06:31] <xjohnthomasx> Agent_bob, i really need help!
[06:31] <backslash7> I already removed it as I said
[06:31] <`r0ot> i try that rarp -i eth0 -s 192.168.1.1  00:30:4f:34:95:e4 and got bad -i :s
[06:31] <kc8pxy> FPtje: i just walked in. what's the issue?
[06:31] <xjohnthomasx> Agent_bob,  hi there, i have a very difficult problem -- gnome doesn't seem to store my wireless password settings, and it thus keeps me from being able to connect to any encrypted/secured wireless network.. i can connect to my network fine when it's unsecured, and my laptop which is running ubuntu 7.10 can connect to my wireless network  fine even when it's secured, but this desktop with 8.04 ubuntu just won't!! please help!!??
[06:32] <FPtje> kc8pxy: : The program 'nm-applet' wants access to the standard keyring(?) but it is closed
[06:32] <Gnea> backslash7: okay - but libperl 5.10 is still installed, and it says it's going to take down the whole system if you do uninstall it, because it's going to take out perl-base, correct?
[06:32] <FPtje> I translated it from dutch
[06:32] <Agent_bob> can anyone tell me how to do this in /etc/network/interfaces  ???   "ifconfig eth1 0.0.0.0 promisc up "
[06:32] <FuDGe2> xjohnthomasx: hmm? :(
[06:32] <xjohnthomasx> kc8pxy, i could be having a very similar issue, possibly..
[06:32] <chaddy> Agent_bob: man interfaces
[06:32] <backslash7> Gnea: No, I remove libperl5.8. I tried to remove perl-base and it said it would remove 3 gb of stuff
[06:32] <backslash7> hold on
[06:32] <amenado> xjohnthomasx--> compare the /etc/network/interfaces file of 7.10 and 8.04 they ought to be the same
[06:33] <chaddy> Agent_bob: it's fairly easy if you can do ifconfig
[06:33] <xjohnthomasx> they are basically
[06:33] <backslash7> Gnea: No "libperl*" installed anymore
[06:33] <Agent_bob> xjohnthomasx sorry. i have no wifi so totally ignorant there.
[06:33] <Gnea> backslash7: okay - sudo apt-get clean
[06:33] <kc8pxy> FPtje: i don't mess with keyrings unless there is no way to avoid it.
[06:33] <xjohnthomasx> amenado, they are basically..
[06:33] <`r0ot> and with arp i got SIOCSARP: Operation not permitted :s
[06:33] <amenado> xjohnthomasx--> basically what?
[06:33] <FPtje> I get it every time I start up
[06:33] <Gnea> backslash7: time for a clean slate :)
[06:33] <backslash7> Gnea: Done :P
[06:33] <FPtje> I have to enter my password every time
[06:34] <Agent_bob> chaddy  sounds like a real good advice to a newbE
[06:34] <DrDabbles> legend2440, srle, geremy Why do you personally use full imaging systems versus a file-based backup?
[06:34] <xjohnthomasx> amenado, the same
[06:34] <Gnea> backslash7: dpkg -l | grep ^ii | grep perl-base
[06:34]  * ElijahDuBarryVT is away: <work>
[06:34] <backslash7> Gnea: You think we'll be able to get this shit done?
[06:34] <Gnea> backslash7: i've recovered from worse ;)
[06:34] <Srle> for file based backups, I use tar to archive stuff and burn it on disks :)
[06:34] <chaddy> Agent_bob: I normally wouldn't point people to man pages, but that one is fairly straightforward if you compare it to your existing interfaces file
[06:34] <backslash7> Gnea: ii  perl-base                                  5.10.0-15                                            minimal Perl system

[06:35] <amenado> xjohnthomasx--> including the passwd for your AP ?
[06:35] <`r0ot> any help  plz ?
[06:35] <backslash7> Gnea: Awight :P I go get myself a cup of tea.... k? I'll be back in 2-3 minutes... Please stay with me!
[06:35] <airtonix> Rezagrats, hibernate/suspend
[06:35] <xjohnthomasx> amenado, i dont set the password in that file
[06:35] <Gnea> backslash7: okay -  cat /etc/apt/sources.list | pastebinit
[06:35] <Gnea> backslash7: okay :)
[06:35] <backslash7> Gnea: I can bring you one too if you want :P
[06:35] <Agent_bob> chaddy heh.  but promisc goes where ?
[06:35] <backslash7> Gnea: okay
[06:35] <Gnea> backslash7: lol appreciated
[06:35] <DrDabbles> Srle I'm the same way, but I've got some vacation time this week, and I'd like to dedicate some time to development of a good backup utility that is possibly installed by default.
[06:36] <backslash7> Gnea: http://pastebin.com/f6665fd74 ;)
[06:36] <amenado> xjohnthomasx--> well thats where they should go for auto connection to encrypted ap
=== ZoleA is now known as Tax-X
[06:36] <backslash7> brb
[06:36] <Agent_bob> chaddy it's not even mentioned in the man page
[06:36] <Srle> DrDabbles - ok, then search for options not covered by other tools
[06:36] <xjohnthomasx> amenado, where is networkmanager storing them then, as it has in the past? it worked the other day.. nothing has really changed in between..
[06:36] <amenado> DrDabbles--> have you looked at fedora's  Amanda? that seems an enterprise level backup system
[06:37] <chaddy> Agent_bob: you had to look first to be sure ;-P
[06:37] <amenado> xjohnthomasx--> same /etc/network/interfaces file as always
[06:37] <chaddy> I'll have a poke
[06:37] <Srle> DrDabbles - make ur program able to backup partitions and files, and make a easy frontend
[06:37] <Gnea> backslash7: okay, let me know when you get back.. we need to have a little chat :)
[06:37] <xjohnthomasx> amenado, false.. it does not store them there..
[06:37] <DrDabbles> Srle Well, one thing I'm thinking of is the ability to remind users through a panel applet (which can be removed for users that do things manually)
[06:37] <airtonix> Rezagrats, another article here about cli hibernate/suspend : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=329902
[06:37] <amenado> xjohnthomasx--> you can store them there, please man interfaces and you will see the sample
[06:38] <legend2440> DrDabbles: i use partimage i guess because i was used to using driveimage in windows. i wish partimage had a way to restore individual files like driveimage could
[06:38] <DrDabbles> amenado I've used Amanda in the past. It's good.
[06:38] <geremy> DrDabbles: if you're a programmer, just set an inotify watch to sync via rdiff-backup, and use zenity for reminders
[06:38] <Srle> DrDabbles - to remind them to do backup on some set basis?
[06:38] <carrebeanpirates> amenado: I can live with that
[06:38] <Agent_bob> chaddy no i had to re-look incase i missed something that was so simular that i should have noticed it.
[06:38] <xjohnthomasx> amenado, i know you can, but that's not where networkmanager is storing them! where is network manager storing them, and why would it work the other day, but not today? why won't it work with the nm-applet in the top right of the screen?
[06:38] <Srle> DrDabbles - you could do something like TimeMachine on MacOS - kinda copy it :)
[06:39] <amenado> DrDabbles--> right, so you want to recreate Amanda? or take out some of its features perhaps?
[06:39] <DrDabbles> Srle Exactly. With more users coming over from Windows, I think it's important for me to remind my mom to back up her digital photos. :-)
[06:39] <sluimers> Where should I go for hardware related questions?
[06:39] <backslash7> Gnea: Back in black.
[06:39] <Nallep> how can I get /dev/sdd8 (on a removable usb drive) to always mount on /home/user/backup/  ?
[06:39] <amenado> xjohnthomasx--> i have not dig into keyring manager, perhaps it has hooks to it -- stores in some kind of temp file
[06:40] <sluimers> Which channel deals with hardware related questions?
[06:40] <chaddy> Agent_bob: is it for bridging?
[06:40] <geremy> DrDabbles: I wrote a solution to this in response to a recent askSlashdot entry. If you want to make a feature request I'm listening
[06:40] <DrDabbles> geremy This would be geared toward new users that would like a GUI.
[06:40] <Srle> DrDabbles - the applet could be a part of a program (an option) and offered by default to be set on certain days or something
[06:40] <legend2440> sluimers: ##hardware
[06:40] <Agent_bob> chaddy yes
[06:40] <geremy> DrDabbles: that's the goal.
[06:41] <Srle> DrDabbles - u sure won't want to miss usual stuff - options to backup files, folders, and whole file-systems
[06:42] <Gnea> backslash7: alright - i need to know about this perl 5.10 that you've somehow gotten to install on the system. did you install it via apt or as a downloaded package?
[06:42] <Srle> DrDabbles - and as a backend for all of this, use already good programs like dd, tar... etc.
[06:42] <chaddy> Agent_bob: I think you need this: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/intrepid/man5/bridge-utils-interfaces.html
[06:42] <geremy> DrDabbles: are you interested in making some feature requests, or are you wanting to build your own?
[06:42] <backslash7> Gnea: I sure haven't done anything with perl, as far as I can tell.
[06:42] <chaddy> seems to be an extension of sorts for interfaces
[06:42] <backslash7> Gnea: Perl should be all default
[06:43] <Gnea> backslash7: okay - well, i'm running hardy on a few systems, and on each of them, perl 5.8 is what's current.  5.10 is simply not there.
[06:43] <Agent_bob> chaddy looking
[06:43] <backslash7> Gnea: Okay :O
[06:43] <carrebeanpirates> amenado:thats also the reason I put a # before I integrade these modifications in the files I showed you in the pastebin
[06:43] <backslash7> Gnea: That's weird....
[06:43] <DrDabbles> Srle Well, the good thing with Linux is that you don't typically need disk images. The installer can usually take a list of packages to be installed, which could be made at backup time, and .deb files usually ( though not always) contain MD5's of the files they install, so with debsums you can easily find modified config files and whatnot, so restoring a system from bare metal isn't too too hard
[06:43] <supertanker> airtonix: I've tried Nano for my main work
[06:43] <supertanker> I just remember the old MS WOrks for DOS and wonder if there's anything like it for Linux
[06:43] <backslash7> Gnea: perl.org => current release: 5.10.0
[06:43] <nycity> hello Noob here
[06:44] <xjohnthomasx> amenado, there are no examples in man interfaces... thanks tho..
[06:44] <amenado> carrebeanpirates--> good idea, but sometimes having them on same file gets a bit confusing, i suggest a separate file for test and production
[06:44] <chaddy> Agent_bob: if it's not the right thing: sorry for wasting your time ;)
[06:44] <xjohnthomasx> can anyone else help?  hi there, i have a very difficult problem -- gnome doesn't seem to store my wireless password settings, and it thus keeps me from being able to connect to any encrypted/secured wireless network.. i can connect to my network fine when it's unsecured, and my laptop which is running ubuntu 7.10 can connect to my wireless network  fine even when it's secured, but this desktop with 8.04 ubuntu just won't!! please an
[06:44] <xjohnthomasx> yone help!!!
[06:44] <Gnea> backslash7: this tells me that you installed 5.10 explicitly by some other means, either by finding a .deb file and installing it via firefox or something simliar, or starting to upgrade to intrepid and then cancelling it, or something else i don't know
[06:44] <DrDabbles> geremy I'd love to join in on a project. But, because I'm new to python, it would take a while to ramp up. I have selfish goals here too. :-)
[06:44] <carrebeanpirates> amenado: ok
[06:44] <geremy> DrDabbles: let me know what you're thinking - CTO@OpenMigration.net
[06:44] <backslash7> Gnea: Well, I'm really sure I didn't touch perl. I touched gnome* and *gtk* stuff but nothing perl
[06:44] <Agent_bob> chaddy looks like what i was missing. i'll give it a go.  ty.
[06:44] <airtonix> supertanker, thats generally what i use in the cli too...but i find the cli abit unweildly for long term file editing...
[06:45] <backslash7> Gnea: So I need  to get rid of that perl 5.10 right?
[06:45] <Gnea> backslash7: well, it's at where it's at now... can you install libperl5.10?
[06:45] <nycity> I am trying to learn how to partition my hd. I am using VIsta. Can someone assist me?
=== Tax-X is now known as Taxyx
[06:45] <airtonix> supertanker, if you still have that lying around you could run it in dosbox maybe ?
[06:45] <supertanker> airtonix: I have a server that's running dialup wit no GI
[06:45] <Gnea> backslash7: negative, perl-base is 5.10 and that's tightly integrated into the base system
[06:45] <DrDabbles> geremy what are you developing it in?
[06:45] <backslash7> Gnea: Package libperl5.10 is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source E: Package libperl5.10 has no installation candidate
[06:45] <Agent_bob> chaddy i learned how to do this stuff manually some time ago and been using a script i wrote so it won't hurt anything to experiment.  :)
[06:46] <airtonix> supertanker, ah ok
[06:46] <Gnea> backslash7: apt-cache search libperl | pastebinit
[06:46] <lufthanza_> hi
[06:46] <Srle> DrDabbles - hmmm - but what if user scattered his custom files all around the file-tree, so it is not only the .deb and other installation files you have to think of
[06:46] <airtonix> supertanker, have you looked through sourceforge & gnomefiles? maybe something there takes your fancy?
[06:46] <geremy> DrDabbles: python
[06:46] <backslash7> Gnea: no arguments :S
[06:46] <xjohnthomasx> anyone???
[06:46] <lufthanza_> how do I remount my root fs read-only?
[06:47] <aoeu> can anyone tell me how one goes about autoloading modules when the device is inserted or system boots?
[06:47] <backslash7> Gnea: but libperl5.8 is the only libperlV.V
[06:47] <Gnea> lufthanza_: mount -n -o remount,ro /
[06:47] <geremy> aoeu: /etc/modules
[06:47] <DrDabbles> Srle There are certainly corner cases that are difficult, but a user savvy enough to create custom configuration files in custom places should also be savvy enough to select that location for backup as well.
[06:47] <lufthanza_> Gnea: thanks
[06:48] <lufthanza_> Gnea: what's the -n for?
[06:48] <Gnea> backslash7: yeah - that's the thing, it shoudln't be at 5.10
[06:48] <aoeu> geremy: thanks a million
[06:48] <Gnea> lufthanza_: man mount  will explain it all
[06:48] <backslash7> wtf... That's really weird
[06:48] <geremy> aoeu: np
[06:48] <airtonix> geremy, lol can you make sure you put a "exit program automatically when all tasks have completed sucsesscully" please ? so those of use who wish to run it can then use hibernate cli commands after it exits
[06:48] <Gnea> backslash7: yeah... please try to cut down on the swearing bits... it's a family channel :)
[06:48] <Flannel> airtonix: command1 && command2
[06:48] <Flannel> airtonix: That'll run command2 only if command1 exits successfully
[06:48] <FuDGe2> xjohnthomasx: what happened when you used wicd?
[06:48] <airtonix> Flannel, some programs do not quit unless the user is there to interact with the program
[06:48] <lufthanza_> i see
[06:49] <backslash7> Gnea: Sorry :P wt* is just a reflex xD
[06:49] <Srle> DrDabbles - yeah the thing is if you don't take that corner cases, someone is going to be very mad missing his file on some obscure location :))
[06:49] <lufthanza_> thanks, bye
[06:49] <xjohnthomasx> FuDGe2, didnt work.. same thing really
[06:49] <geremy> airtonix: I'm not sure what you mean, could you clarify please?
[06:49] <backslash7> Gnea: Package libperl5.10 is not installed, so not removed
[06:49] <airtonix> geremy, i am assuming you are creating a piece of backup software?
[06:49] <backslash7> Gnea: apt-get install libperl5.8 => libperl5.8: Depends: perl-base (= 5.8.8-12) but 5.10.0-15 is to be installed
[06:50] <backslash7> Gnea: So my perl-base is at 5.10 ? :O
[06:50] <Gnea> backslash7: at this point, i can see only 2 options: a) reinstall hardy. b) attempt to upgrade to intrepid ibex (which is due out as the next stable anyday now)
[06:50] <Nallep> When I plug in my usb drive, how can I always have /dev/sdd8 mount on /home/user/backup/ ?
[06:50] <FuDGe2> xjohnthomasx: so the wicd manager doesn't save your password either
[06:50] <geremy> airtonix: yes
[06:50] <DrDabbles> Srle I think we've all been that user from time to time.
[06:50] <xjohnthomasx> FuDGe2, it doesnt let me connect to the secured wireless network
[06:50] <Gnea> backslash7: yes. it is possible that intrepid is running 5.10 and won't give you nearly as much grief about it
[06:51] <airtonix> geremy, it would be good if the program would quit when its finished doing backups
[06:51] <backslash7> Gnea: Hmm.... So I'd like to try intrepid first if possible
[06:51] <Kartagis> how do I tell by looking at ps aux whether Synaptics is performing operations?
[06:51] <airtonix> geremy, but ofcourse this would be an option that you would provide in program -> preferences
[06:51] <backslash7> In the worst case I'll reinstall, backing up and stuff like that
[06:51] <Gnea> backslash7: i would make sure /home is safe first
[06:51] <Reaverbot> Hello
[06:51] <Agent_bob> Kartagis use top ?
[06:51] <backslash7> Hmmm
[06:51] <Reaverbot> I am new in Linux system
[06:51] <r2s1> link for the fix on Samsung SCX-4200 is now gone.. anyone knows how can I fix the SCX-4300's libmfp.so.1.0.1 .. scanner not working well.
[06:51] <mrpockets> Where are the icon files for Avant Window manager kept?
[06:51] <FuDGe2> xjohnthomasx: what encryption are you running?
[06:51] <backslash7> Gnea: How do I resize my root partition the most comfortable way ?
[06:52] <Agent_bob> Kartagis then if it's active it moves near the top to top to top off the top output.
[06:52] <airtonix> geremy, i mean that is if your program is the type to leave a gui window open while it does its job
[06:52] <xjohnthomasx> FuDGe2, either wep or wpa.. same difference..
[06:52] <Kartagis> Agent_bob, thanks
[06:52] <Agent_bob> shoot  one of those 'to's was an 'of' /
[06:52] <airtonix> geremy, just athought, i guess its not nessecary if its a daemon
[06:52] <Agent_bob> welcome.
[06:52] <geremy> airtonix: right now the goal is that it operates silently when the difference between the archived version and the current copy reaches a certain degree of importance
[06:53] <Gnea> backslash7: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/forum/installation/Partitioning  has a few methods
[06:53] <maddy> i have installed tomcat5.5 on ubuntu-8.04 hardy. it is running fine. the page http://localhost:8080/ is also responding. i also installed hudson on ubuntu, but when im trying to open the URL http://server-name/huson/ is not responding. can one help me??
[06:53] <geremy> airtonix: I'm taking suggestions though
[06:53] <airtonix> geremy, nice one. i assumed that it would operate like a generic gui app...:)
[06:53] <xjohnthomasx> is there a ubuntu wireless channel anywhere?????
[06:53] <backslash7> Gnea: Is gparted a good way?
[06:53] <Gnea> backslash7: yes, preferably from livecd
[06:54] <Gnea> you can't resize what you have mounted
[06:54] <supertanker> Okay, I know this is probably going to start a holy war, but would emacs or vim be better for a newbie to CLI?
[06:54] <backslash7> Gnea: Yeh, sure
[06:54] <backslash7> Gnea: Okay.... Guess I'll do a reinstall then anyway.....
[06:54] <Gnea> supertanker: neither: nano
[06:54] <kelvin911> when i type lpr example.ps in terminal i got this error: lpr: Error - no default destination available.
[06:54] <kelvin911> how to fix it?
[06:54] <backslash7> Gnea: Thank you so much for your time, really appreciate it!
[06:54] <DrDabbles> backslash gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php
[06:54] <Nallep> supertanker: vim
[06:54] <Gnea> backslash7: good luck :)
[06:54] <airtonix> supertanker, yeah i find both quite intimidating
[06:54] <backslash7> DrDabbles: I got already one, thanks anyway
[06:55] <backslash7> Gnea: :D
[06:55] <backslash7> G'bye
[06:55] <Oxygenfad> Hey guys. I burned a CD in ubuntu. I am trying to copy thw files onto a windows machine. All is well but the names are bonkers. How do I get the real names back ?
[06:55] <supertanker> All right, thanks, I'll try weither VIM or NANO
[06:55] <supertanker> Proably NANO
[06:55] <xjohnthomasx> is there a wireless channel for ubuntu on this irc?????
[06:56] <Gnea> !wireless | xjohnthomasx
[06:56] <ubottu> xjohnthomasx: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[06:56] <geremy> airtonix: the original request came from an askSlashdot posting, and their request was that it sync all of their family photos, so I felt that silent would be best. A gui is an option, although I will be the first to admit my UIs usually look like they escaped from Windows 95
[06:56] <xjohnthomasx> Gnea, i've read that. i dindt see an irc.. just an ndiswrapper channel...?
[06:56] <amenado> Oxygenfad--> you should burn with rockridge format  -R and -J options i believe
[06:56] <airtonix> geremy, how does it differ from unison?
[06:56] <Gnea> xjohnthomasx: you can ask your wifi questions in here.
[06:56] <xjohnthomasx> i have!!! no one answers!@!!!
[06:56] <xjohnthomasx>  hi there, i have a very difficult problem -- gnome doesn't seem to store my wireless password settings, and it thus keeps me from being able to connect to any encrypted/secured wireless network.. i can connect to my network fine when it's unsecured, and my laptop which is running ubuntu 7.10 can connect to my wireless network  fine even when it's secured, but this desktop with 8.04 ubuntu just won't!! please anyone help!!!
[06:57] <xjohnthomasx> Gnea, there
[06:57] <Oxygenfad> xjohnthomasx : The damage has been done. The cd has already been burnt. How do I convert ?
[06:57] <Gnea> xjohnthomasx: then you'll have to be patient
[06:57] <mrpockets> yo
[06:57] <xjohnthomasx> Gnea, i dont think anyone was even really reading mine..
[06:57] <mrpockets> so where are the toolbar icons kept?
[06:57] <Srle> Oxygenfad - cannot convert
[06:57] <Oxygenfad> crud
[06:57] <Srle> Oxygenfad - it's already burned
[06:57] <mrpockets> like if i wanted to change the icon for Firefox on the tool bar when its opened?
[06:57] <DrDabbles> Oxygenfad You will need to copy the files on Linux or MacOS, and create a new CD
[06:58] <Srle> Oxygenfad - burn another with options told above
[06:58] <Oxygenfad> I made a VM on this comp with ubuntu. But now Im running into samba problems
[06:58] <Gnea> xjohnthomasx: saying things like "please help!" or "help!!" only makes people NOT want to help so much - of course, sometimes people are already in the middle of something else, so asking again every 5 mins or so tends to work better than repeating all the time.
[06:58] <Oxygenfad> anythnks guys
[06:58] <carrebeanpirates> amenado: http://pastebin.ca/1226589  are the modifications I have so far and did put them in new files
[06:58] <moveax1> hi
[06:58] <geremy> airtonix: unison doesn't do multipoint to point sync, and is not importance-sensitive; this uses a bounding algorithm to determine whether the changes that have occurred in the directories being watched are important enough to merge right this very second
[06:58] <Gnea> xjohnthomasx: has it not been storing passwords from the time you installed or did it just stop working one day?
[06:58] <moveax1> are there any apt sources for open office 3?
[06:58] <xjohnthomasx> Gnea, i have asked every five minutes or so.. and i'm sorry i ask for help -- but quite frankly, that's what this forum is for.. so why should i not express the frustration some? i've been trying to solve this problem for days now..
[06:58] <geremy> airtonix: that's about it
[06:59] <xjohnthomasx> it stopped working two days ago
[06:59] <airtonix> geremy, :)
[06:59] <geremy> moveax1:  its on the openoffice page
[06:59] <xjohnthomasx> Gnea, it was working fine with the original installation
[06:59] <Gnea> xjohnthomasx: was that gutsy?
[06:59] <xjohnthomasx> Gnea, though i hadn't really changed much of anything about the wireless settings..
[06:59] <xjohnthomasx> no, it was a fresh install, clean hd, and hardy
[06:59] <moveax1> geremy, but no sources.list entry. only the pakages
[06:59] <Gnea> xjohnthomasx: have you tried making a new user account and see if it saves the passwords in that one or not?
[07:00] <xjohnthomasx> Gnea, laptop has 7.10 on it, and that works fine.. this one, the desktop, is completely new and fresh, and has 8.04..
[07:00] <geremy> moveax1: correct
[07:00] <xjohnthomasx> Gnea, i will go do that right now
[07:00] <moveax1> geremy, do you know how long it will take to find it in the backports?
[07:01] <`r0ot> any one have dell 1525 laptop ?
[07:01] <geremy> moveax1: no idea, honestly
[07:01] <wartalker> i install the dirver ipwraw, so when reboot, it is the default. how i can change the iwl3945 to default
[07:01] <Agent_bob> chaddy you still around ?
[07:01] <amenado> carrebeanpirates--> on dhcp server -- you only need to serve on eth1
[07:01] <xjohnthomasx> Gnea, same thing happens.....
[07:02] <`r0ot> i can make my web cam work any one know how i can make it work ?
[07:02] <chaddy> Agent_bob: yeah
[07:02] <Gnea> xjohnthomasx: okay - and this is on the laptop?
[07:02] <Agent_bob> chaddy yes,  that was what i wanted.  http://ubuntu.pastebin.us/7642   thanks.
[07:02] <xjohnthomasx> Gnea, no, desktkop. 8.04. the laptop runs 7.10 and is fine.
[07:02] <dhng> how do I restore my x server settings after it's borked when I upgrade to a new version of Ubuntu?
[07:02] <chaddy> Agent_bob: glad it worked, I was just whistling dixie ;)
[07:03] <geremy> dhng: did you back it up?
[07:03] <amenado> carrebeanpirates--> on interfaces file,  wrong entries for lines 25-27, eth0 is facing the ISP, those subnet you referred to are wrong, not 192.x.x.x
[07:03] <Gnea> xjohnthomasx: ugh, i'm not sure... someone else might know
[07:03] <dhng> geremy: I'm not sure, I just ran the upgrade program
[07:03] <geremy> dhng: did you have a lot of custom configurations?
[07:03] <Agent_bob> chaddy i knew that there was a way to do it,  just couldn't find anything pretenant in the doc0s      and google hates me.   heh.
[07:03] <dhng> geremy: I think it's backed up, I'm just not sure where
[07:03] <xjohnthomasx> Gnea, whom can you recommend in here that's more expert and can poissibly??? : (
[07:03] <Gnea> xjohnthomasx: sorry :(
[07:03] <dhng> geremy: I don't think so
[07:04] <geremy> dhng: if you can find it, that would be best, else, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[07:04] <mzuverink> I need some advise, what is the bes performing nCdakkkkkcdjj                  jjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjj

[07:04] <mzuverink>       
[07:04] <Gnea> xjohnthomasx: no one specific... but like i said, dropping the "please help me!" bit will get you a better response, overall
[07:04] <chaddy> Agent_bob: feel free to call again if you are short that last little bit of google-fu
[07:04] <dhng> geremy: where is the config file located?
[07:04] <airtonix> mzuverink, i would think about buying a new keyboard first
[07:04] <maddy>  i have installed tomcat5.5 on ubuntu-8.04 hardy. it is running fine. the page http://localhost:8080/ is also responding. i also installed hudson on ubuntu, but when im trying to open the URL http://server-name/huson/ is not responding. can one help me??
[07:04] <Srle> mzuvernik 8800GTX shold do
[07:04] <Srle> :)
[07:04] <geremy> dhng: /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[07:05] <Agent_bob> chaddy heh.   10-4
[07:05] <carrebeanpirates> amenado: what do I need to put instead?
[07:05] <xjohnthomasx>  hi there, i have a very difficult problem -- gnome doesn't seem to store my wireless password settings, and it thus keeps me from being able to connect to any encrypted/secured wireless network.. i can connect to my network fine when it's unsecured, and my laptop which is running ubuntu 7.10 can connect to my wireless network  fine even when it's secured, but this desktop with 8.04 ubuntu just won't!! it was working after the initia
[07:05] <xjohnthomasx> l install, but stopped two days ago.... ??????
[07:05] <airtonix> mzuverink, but i also second Srle's advice
[07:06] <Srle> i just run glx gears on my 8800gtx/768 bm and its about 15000 with comiz enabled
[07:06] <dhng> geremy: so do I just rename one of my backup files to xorg.conf?
[07:06] <losher> xjohnthomasx: did you change something else two days ago?
[07:06] <geremy> dhng: then restart the x server, yup
[07:07] <mzuverink> airtonix, that was my fault, I fell asleep, pain meds, please eccept my humbler apology and overlok my fopa and answer the question if you have an opinion, i will rewrite it if you wish.
[07:07] <airtonix> mzuverink, the nvidia 8800gt series are good
[07:07] <xjohnthomasx> Gnea, and in factttttttttttttttttttt, you want to know something strange?? i clicked to connect to the new user's secured wireless network, and it just seemed to be stalling, but when i went back into the old user's account, what i found was the "wireless key" login popup had popped up there instead of the new user's account!!!! wtf??
[07:07] <mzuverink> airtonix, that is what I heard
[07:08] <amenado> carrebeanpirates--> on eth0 -- network 213.118.188.0 , broadcast 213.118.188.255,  gateway you should have copied that from the router settings
[07:08] <airtonix> mzuverink, i also have a coreduo e6550 2.3ghz... combined they run beautifully...compiz is great...wow under wine ie great
[07:08] <xjohnthomasx> losher, i tried installing mythtv. it didnt work. i had to remove it.. also, when i login, i keep getting the error home/.dmrc must have user's permissions and home folder..... so i did sudo chown 644 file and sudo chown 700 the folder.. and that was supposed to fix it, but it keeps coming back???
[07:09] <geremy> airtonix: my friend is a WOW addict, framerate went up 10 FPS under wine
[07:09] <blankthemuffin> Wondering if there is a command to dump the systems environment variables?
[07:09] <mzuverink> airtonix, I got hit by a car on my bike doing my job as a currier, broke my femur and I had to have a wrist fused
[07:09] <supertanker> Is there any reason I should NOT run Samba and NFS at the same time on the same directory?
[07:09] <supertanker> [6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~Assuming I'm hte only one using it?
[07:09] <B3z3rk3r> hey all
[07:09] <supertanker> ....
[07:09] <supertanker> What is it with keyboards tonight?!
[07:09] <mzuverink> airtonix, Oxycontin is hard to stay awake on if you are not used to opiates
[07:09] <geremy> supertanker: besides the fact that neither is terribly secure?
[07:09] <airtonix> mzuverink, considering its a form of morphine
[07:09] <supertanker> geremy, I don't care much about this data
[07:10] <supertanker> It's only on my local network
[07:10] <airtonix> mzuverink, getting offtopic though...
[07:10] <Agent_bob> thats odd,  using that interfaces configuration i get a 74 second timeout in the boot process, using a script it's almost instant.   heh.  i guess i'll keep using my script for now.   but at least i learned how to get there both ways.
[07:10] <geremy> supertanker: its the whole "gaining access to raw disk sockets" I worry about
[07:10] <supertanker> I'm not transferring Butch's Top Secret Family Recipie or anything, I just want to move music, documents, movies, etc, off my main computer.
[07:10] <supertanker> geremy: What?
[07:10] <mzuverink> airtonix, exactly, so I spend day and night the last week falling asleep while typing, it annoying
[07:10] <supertanker> Asuume I'm the only person in the entire neighbhorhood that knows wtf Linux is, geremy
[07:11] <carrebeanpirates> amenado: question concerning the network since the IP adress from my ISP is changing from time to time don't I get into trouble when putting a fixed IP there?
[07:11] <airtonix> mzuverink, you might like espeak : dmesg | tail | espeak
[07:11] <supertanker> And that this computer isn't connected to the internet
[07:11] <geremy> supertanker: <shrugs> hey, *I* don't have to fix it
[07:11] <airtonix> mzuverink, for those times when keeping your eyes open is too much
[07:11] <supertanker> Haha
[07:11] <mzuverink> airtonix, not off topic, you said consider a keyboard, i answered your question as it pertained to my keyboard...
[07:11] <xjohnthomasx> losher, you see my reply? ?
[07:11] <supertanker> So seriously, how else should I share my files, geremy? (On my local network)
[07:11] <amenado> carrebeanpirates--> wait a minute, you said static eh? changing from time to time is dynamic, get your info straight, or else i'll give you wrong advise
[07:11] <Cosmo-san> heyo.  my webcam seems way too zoomed on Ubuntu.  On Windows it's fine, but here I can't seem to adjust the zoom.  any suggestions?
[07:11] <geremy> supertanker: ssh mounts
[07:12] <supertanker> ...SSH mounts?
[07:12] <mzuverink> airtonix, thank you
[07:12] <apathadeus> has anyone here ever played around with the files in /dev/?
[07:12]  * supertanker googles
[07:12] <airtonix> mzuverink, it was a jibjab at your huge stream of characters...now i know its just you applying face to keyboard....nevermind im just being silly
[07:12] <geremy> apathadeus: yup
[07:12] <losher> xjohnthomasx: my .dmrc is u=rw only (I don't run gnome though). Consider deinstalling/reinstalling the wireless stuff?
[07:12] <apathadeus> geremy, what did you do? :D
[07:12] <Agent_bob> apathadeus yep
[07:12] <xjohnthomasx> losher, did that
[07:12] <airtonix> mzuverink, wow joke : faceroll did not produce win!
[07:12] <geremy> apathadeus: umm everything involving devices ever?
[07:13] <amenado> supertanker--> look for  sshfs
[07:13] <apathadeus> i see
[07:13] <mzuverink> airtonix, exactly
[07:13] <carrebeanpirates> amenado: the modem from my ISP is changing IP's on regular bases so the server should be able to pick this up to right?
[07:13] <losher> xjohnthomasx: did what, exactly?
[07:13] <Agent_bob> apathadeus they are mostly device nodes and some symlinks to device nodes.
[07:13] <xjohnthomasx> losher, reinstalled wireless stuff
[07:13] <mzuverink> , key marks on forhead daily
[07:13] <amenado> carrebeanpirates--> only if yo set the eth0 to dynamic
[07:13] <dhng> is there plans to make changing x config more user-friendly?
[07:13] <PoisonArrow> how can I kill the Network Manager process?
[07:13] <amenado> carrebeanpirates--> only if yo set the eth0 to dynamic-- rather  as dhcp client
[07:13] <supertanker> Oh, geremy, also asume I need a Windows computer to access my data >_>
[07:13] <dhng> geremy: thanks, x is fixed
[07:14] <yell0w> PoisonArrow: ps -faux
[07:14] <supertanker> Much as I dislike using Windows
[07:14] <amenado> PoisonArrow--> why would you want to?
[07:14] <apathadeus> how come when i play a song, and capture the data from /dev/audio, and pipe it back again, it won't play?
[07:14] <yell0w> PoisonArrow: ps -faux | grep Network , find pid, kill them
[07:14] <PoisonArrow> yell0w: thanks
[07:14] <geremy> supertanker: putty
[07:14] <PoisonArrow> amenado: sometimes it hangs while connecting and freezes my comp
[07:14] <Agent_bob> apathadeus what can you do with a device node ???    access it. change it's perms and ownership, delete it, write to it, rename/move it...  that's about it.
[07:14] <geremy> dhng: great, glad to help
[07:14] <waan> PoisonArrow: ps ax | grep NetworkManager
[07:14] <losher> xjohnthomasx: sorry, you've exhausted the little I know about it. Some people seem to report wicd works for them when the default stuff fails
[07:15] <carrebeanpirates> amenado: ok sorry for the confusion so the eth0 should change in iface eth0 dynamic and skip everything that's comming below or am I wrong here
[07:15] <unlink> what's a good video card for dual-head on ubuntu?
[07:15] <amenado> PoisonArrow--> umm, that i have experienced, ubuntu seems to be very sensitive to i/o errors and freezes
[07:15] <xjohnthomasx> losher, can you recommend any ubuntu super genius in here who might be able to help??
[07:15] <PoisonArrow> amenado: ya
[07:15] <PoisonArrow> waan: thanks
[07:15] <mrpockets> where does Ubuntu store the current Wallpaper fiule?
[07:15] <waan> PoisonArrow: no probs, just find the PID's and kill them
[07:15] <apathadeus> why cat /dev/audio > file, then cat file > /dev/audio, won't play the same thing?
[07:16] <losher> xjohnthomasx: sorry, I'm relatively new here myself. irc is pretty hit & miss...
[07:16] <PoisonArrow> waan: with just   " kill pid 5105"
[07:16] <amenado> carrebeanpirates--> think of your ubuntu as a host using dhcp, so eth0 will be set as dhcp
[07:16] <waan> PoisonArrow: kill 5105, 501x....
[07:16] <waan> PoisonArrow: without the ,
[07:16] <apathadeus> anyone?
[07:16] <PoisonArrow> waan: thanks OK :P
[07:16] <dhng> geremy: it was premature...x loads but gnome doesn't, so I'm stuck with  my desktop background and nothing else
[07:17] <losher> xjohnthomasx: since it's not working, you don't have much to lose by trying wicd. Sounds like if all else fails you're going to have to reinstall from scratch in the end anyway...
[07:17] <unlink> i want to drive a 1920x1200 display and a 1280x1024 display, and watch 1080p movies... i'm looking for a video card that works well with ubuntu
[07:17] <Agent_bob> apathadeus heh. i made a symlink like this.  ln -s /dev/fd0 ~/floppy_disk.tgz     and access it with "mc"  and "tar" dirrectly.   i have some floppy disks that have tarballs writen dirrectly to them now.   :)))         and as to the Q cat////  use /dev/dsp and see what happens.

[07:18] <apathadeus> yea, i tried the same thing with dsp
[07:18] <losher> xjohnthomasx: on a total tangent, I got mythtv working find on 7.10 after a struggle with mysql. Never tried it on 8.04 tho'
[07:18] <apathadeus> Agent_bob, it won't work with dsp either
[07:18] <losher> xjohnthomasx: find -> fine
[07:18] <geremy> dhng: I'll be honest, I have to get up in 5.5hrs, I'm not going to be alert long enough to fix this- let me phone a friend
[07:18] <Agent_bob> apathadeus does here.   permissions issue ?
[07:19] <apathadeus> not permissions, i just don't get the audio that i captured in the file
[07:19] <amenado> carrebeanpirates--> its iface eth0 dhcp    man interfaces to confirm please, i dont have an ubuntu up right now.. also am off to bed..the partner is giving me the look
[07:19]  * amenado  off to bed.
[07:20] <carrebeanpirates> amenado: ok thanks sweet dreams and give a nice look back at your partner :-) thanks for your help
[07:20] <Reaverbot> Excuse me, I have an integrated webcam, ¿how I can install it?
[07:20] <waan> Does anybody have an xps 1530?
[07:21] <Agent_bob> apathadeus you sure it's not perms ?   ls -l `readlink -f /dev/dsp`
[07:21] <Sindacious> Anyone know how to make ubuntu detect a mybook external hard drive?
[07:21] <apathadeus> Agent_bob, nope, nothing in the terminal is restricting me from piping stuff around
[07:21] <geremy> Sindacious: usb?
[07:21] <chaddy> Sindacious: plug it in then do dmesg|tail, see if it is detected
[07:21] <JayFM> When I run "sudo apt-get install bind9" to install dns, I get an error: "E: Package bind9 has no installation candidate"
[07:22] <geremy> dhng: nothing but message
[07:22] <apathadeus> Agent_bob, when I pipe back the data i captured, i either get garbled crap or silence depending if I use audio or dsp
[07:22] <geremy> dhng: srry
[07:22] <dhng> geremy: thanks anyways
[07:22] <supertanker> So it's not safe to use Samba on a private network with no outside access to the ports SMB uses/no access to anyone outside the LAN ips?
[07:22] <supertanker> I'm the only person on the network who knows how to use computers
[07:22] <bobbin> How do I recover my nick on this server?

[08:32] <chaddy> Sindacious: I'd put together a forum post at this point, probably cross post to that one I linked you earlier
[08:32] <chaddy> central: possibly because you don't have one
[08:32] <central> i dont have what ?
[08:32] <Sindacious> chaddy, yeah I noticed it after the pastebin ;x does the line "sbp2 serialize=1" need to be put in the /etc/modules any certain way? I added a new line for it.
[08:33] <central> tell me i will find it...lol
[08:34] <Guest61193>  D D
[08:34] <chaddy> Sindacious: I'd guess at least with the underscore, should be good to copy and paste from that post
[08:34] <central> well open office come with en us the package is installed but with ubuntu studio openoffice can not find the dictionary
[08:35] <central> big headatch for me...
[08:35] <Sindacious> chaddy, hmm, I put the line below the sbp2 module itself, I'm going to try it with deleting that line I put in and put serialize=1 after the module and see if it makes a difference

[08:37] <chaddy> Sindacious: sorry, don't really know much more, been flying blind til now
[08:39] <central> so please try to install openoffice in ubuntu studio then try tu use the spell check i am sure you will find there is a bug or a missing dependancy

[08:40] <chaddy> central: what have you tried googling to find other people with the same problem?
[08:41] <InHisName> My screen changes scale right after the login / pswd at boot.  The Rez is great before but ALWAYS switches to 1280x1024.  Where do I find this problmem command to eliminate?
[08:41] <central> i did but nothing concerning this problem
[08:42] <thismamacooks200> chaddy: yes, I can get the option by double-clicking the script. but I'd rather it just run in the background without the additional step. And, the script will not run from desktop anyhow, it works in virtual console or if I run terminal and type it.
[08:42] <scuser> hi all, any help with this error "mount.nfs4: can't get address for nfs-server" ?
[08:43] <chaddy> sorry, thismamacooks200, I don't really have a clear mind at the moment, I can't think what problem you are having
[08:44] <thismamacooks200> At the moment, I'm trying to setup "mp3blaster -l playlist.m3u" to run using a 1 step (double-click) in gnome. once I figure it out, I'll attempt more serious apps
[08:45] <chaddy> ahh, sorry, didn't realize your clicks were so valuable, google must make good money out of you
[08:48] <central> so do you have any idea ??
[08:48] <central> how to fix that ??
[08:49] <jim_p> thismamacooks200: is mp3blaster a cli app?
[08:50] <thismamacooks200> jim_p: yes, CLI only
[08:50] <ardchoille> mp3blaster, a non-graphical audio player for UNIX
[08:51] <EatShrooms> hey guys I need help, I accidentally the whole terminal, is this bad?
[08:51] <chaddy> you accidentally what, EatShrooms?
[08:51] <ewook> EatShrooms: you did what to it?
[08:51] <jim_p> thismamacooks200: and you want to make a shortcut for it?
[08:51] <crdlb> EatShrooms: not here, please
[08:51] <jim_p> thismamacooks200: like open the terminal and execute it?
[08:51] <bioteck> hello every1
[08:52] <chaddy> hi bioteck
[08:52] <bioteck> ho chaddy.. how r ya?
[08:52] <EatShrooms> chaddy: I accidentally the whole terminal?
[08:52] <bioteck> hi*
[08:53] <chaddy> EatShrooms: read what you write
[08:54] <chaddy> EatShrooms: did you accidentally empower it to remove sense from your utterances, or what?
[08:54] <thismamacooks200> yes, a shortcut (.desktop). mp3blaster when run from virtual terminal  continues to run no matter which user is logged in or out, X or console, even on the welcome screen. I want to make it do that with a shortcut. eventually I want to do this with other apps

[08:54] <EatShrooms> chaddy: I accidentally the terminal, is this bad?
[08:55] <crdlb> chaddy: he's doing it intentionally, please ignore
[08:55] <chaddy> EatShrooms: you accidentally <something> the terminal
[08:55] <central> well it sound a bit stupide if i have to install ubuntu desktop on virtualbox to be able tu use oppenoffice ... don't you think ??
[08:55] <bioteck> lol
[08:55] <chaddy> crdlb: I'm fine to decide how I comport myself on IRC, thanks
[08:56] <crdlb> chaddy: I am simply asking you not to feed a troll in a support channel
[08:56] <chaddy> central: is that the solution that google is pointing you towards?
[08:56] <chaddy> crdlb: if you're an op /kick him
[08:56] <EatShrooms> chaddy: I accidentally the whole thing
[08:56] <central> nop its my own idea... :
[08:56] <jim_p> thismamacooks200: you can try "gnome-terminal -x mp3blaster myplaylist.pls" (or -e instead of -x)
[08:57] <chaddy> central: it seems reasonable, ubuntu-studio isn't really intended as a desktop distribution, word processing is probably not its main focus
[08:57] <BlackDesign> EatShrooms, you accidentally did what to the while thing?
[08:57] <EatShrooms> blackdesign: I accidentally the whole terminal
[08:58] <elkbuntu> EatShrooms, you accidentally what the whole terminal?
[08:58] <central> yes that for sure but well it will be better if i can have openoffice working on ubuntu studio...
[08:58] <EatShrooms> elkbuntu: the whole thing
[08:58] <bioteck> EatShrooms:  he/she is probably eating shrooms and now is having a trip..lol
[08:58] <jim_p> central: install it!
[08:58] <elkbuntu> elkbuntu, what about it? you're missing an action in what you're saying
[08:58] <BlackDesign> EatShrooms, you sentence does not make sence... you deleted it? Or what?
[08:58] <jim_p> EatShrooms: you closed the terminal?
[08:58] <EatShrooms> blackdesign: I accidentally it
[08:58] <elkbuntu> EatShrooms, what is your native language?
[08:59] <DocScrutinizer2> failed turing test - lol
[08:59] <BlackDesign> elkbuntu, now that's an idea :)
[08:59] <bioteck> lol
[08:59] <jim_p> lets all assume he closed it and go from start!
[08:59] <central> so you mean i better to install ubuntu desktop on virtualbox ??
[08:59] <elkbuntu> jim_p, not until we have a clear line of communication, or we wont get anywhere anyway
[09:00] <chaddy> central: no, you can install ubuntu-desktop in ubuntu studio
[09:00] <jim_p> central: no, install openoffice in ubuntustudio the way you would install any ubuntustudio app in ubuntu
[09:00] <chaddy> they will coexist happily, central
[09:00] <chaddy> jim_p: he says he already has
[09:00] <chaddy> I think
[09:00] <thismamacooks200> jim_p: but the gnome-terminal will disapear with the destop (log out= end app)
[09:01] <bioteck> gnite everyone

[09:01] <chaddy> thismamacooks200: you want it running from boot to shutdown?
[09:01] <chaddy> Noplex: ubuntu+1
[09:01] <jim_p> thismamacooks200: so you want it to run EVEN after logoff?
[09:01] <chaddy> Noplex: not due for release til the end of the month
[09:01] <Noplex> ah okay.. cool thx
[09:01] <thismamacooks200> chaddy: If I can run it as a service from within gnome, sure, that'd be great. how do I do that?
[09:02] <Ohmu> Hello everyone!  I'm trying to write a bootable WinXP-CD from Ubuntu.  2 problems. (1) - it won't write to the CD  - problem seems to be that the i386 folder wont copy.  Maybe 6000 files in one folder is more than it can handle.  And (2) I cannot find any mention of a Bootable CD.   How do I make one?
[09:02] <chaddy> preferences>session, run it, save session, thismamacooks200
[09:02] <BlackDesign> Noplex, 8.10 is still in Beta phase... So you could encounter some bugs...
[09:02] <chaddy> thismamacooks200: if you want it as a service look into update.rc-d
[09:02] <thismamacooks200> chaddy: no, not from boot. jim_b: yes, even after logoff or switching users
[09:02] <jim_p> Ohmu: what burning app do you use? so far only k3b can make bootable cds from 0
[09:03] <Noplex> okay. wanted to test beta....... but........ i can wait for final ;) (sorry for bad english, im from germany)
[09:03] <jim_p> thismamacooks200: add it as a cron job!

[09:04] <Noplex> white power? shut up
[09:04] <central> so to make it clear ... i use ubuntu studio and i install ubuntu desktop in a virtualbox right ??
[09:05] <elkbuntu> Noplex, back off please. someone elses idiocy is no excuse for you to be one.
[09:05] <jim_p> Ohmu: its a bit tricky even with k3b. the boot catalog thing is hidden. i suggest using isomaster to turn it into an iso and bunt it like an iso. isomaster is far mor convenient
[09:05] <Noplex> okay ;)
[09:05] <tdawgedogg> hi guys I vnc into a ubuntu box and there is no monitor connected to it so when it restarts the resolution is automatically 800 x 600 but im working on a 1080p monitor with vnc....is there any way to change the resolution to higher without it actually detecting a monitor?
[09:05] <BlackDesign> Noplex, just wait untill 30 octobre for the release (and my German isn't that good :p just know some basics)
[09:06] <jim_p> tdawgedogg: pin it in xorg.conf to force X to use this
[09:06] <Noplex> :-)
[09:07] <tdawgedogg> jim_p: can you explain this in a little better detail...is this just a conf file where i can just type in the resolution?
[09:07] <Ohmu> jim_p: Thanks!
[09:07] <central> ??
[09:07] <GeorgeA> is there a good GUI xorg configurator?
[09:07] <thismamacooks200> update.rc-d looks like it might be what I need. I'll have to study it

[09:10] <neer> does anyone have any idea about connecting two computers wirelessly, one in ubuntu and the other in windows xp
[09:10] <elkbuntu> DigitalFiz, enough. please find somewhere more appropriate to talk about that

[09:13] <neer> jim_p: I have used static ip in both
[09:13] <BlackDesign> AdvoWork, writing to PDF is included in OpenOffice
[09:13] <elkbuntu> DigitalFiz, there's a few of those people katai mentioned floating around at the moment. i mistook you for one.
[09:13] <jim_p> neer: now you hit me on the blind spot. do you have a wireless router or one of the pcs will do the role?
[09:13] <AdvoWork> BlackDesign but what about printing from a webpage etc?
[09:14] <albert748> who know a shareware named "mybase-desktop"?
[09:14] <DigitalFiz> no sir i was just listening to a good country song :P
[09:14] <neer> jim_p: both the computer have wireless cards
[09:14] <Ohmu> Another question:  I would like  to have XP, Vista and Ubuntu sharing the same HDD.   I already have Ubuntu.  How should I proceed?  Can I just stick the windoze cds in?   The Ubuntu Partition ma nager is grumbling - says I can only have 4 master partitions.  Somehow Ubuntu seems to account for 3.
[09:14] <BlackDesign> AdvoWork, , The option PDF is there...
[09:14] <neer> jim_p: I am not using any router
[09:14] <jim_p> neer: no wireless switch/hub then?
[09:14] <neer> jim_p: no switch,hub
[09:14] <BlackDesign> AdvoWork, just look when you press print... You'll see an option that says: "To PDF"

[09:15] <jim_p> neer: let me think
[09:16] <neer> jim_p: sure
[09:17] <AdvoWork> BlackDesign ahh yeah, that works but the only problem now is, I cant choose a filename, or directory where to save it to, can that be done?
[09:17] <central> well i am not floating around i want a simple anser, do i must install ubuntu desktop in a virtualbox to be able to use openoffice ? if i use ubuntu studio. yes or no ? that is simple...
[09:17] <BlackDesign> AdvoWork, do you also see the option "Print to file"?

[09:22] <mannbay2004> :)
[09:22] <AdvoWork> BlackDesign yeah just been messing, I think thats ok :) but.. i change things like scaling,headers/titles etc, and each time I print it forgets those settings. Anyway to change it permenantely?
[09:22] <central> well i install it but ther is a problem with world spell it can not find the dictionary who is installed.

[09:29] <jim_p> tdawgedogg: if the 2.6.24 kernel has it, then yes. look at a kernel log
[09:29] <ziroday> jjulian: are you talking about network traffic? And what do you mean by session?
[09:29] <jim_p> jjulian: like the amount displayed in ifconfig?

[09:34] <jim_p> jjulian: free           (command at terminal :P)

[09:35] <jjulian> mem total 2 after free -g isnt a good sign is it?
[09:35] <ziroday> WIGGMPk: I believe that it would be best if you add it to each kernel line automatically
[09:35] <jim_p> jjulian: sorry?
[09:35] <ziroday> WIGGMPk: I mean, add it yourself
[09:36] <WIGGMPk> ziroday: what exactly is the # defoptions line for then?
=== zer0 is now known as Guest43804
[09:36] <jjulian> jim_p, i typed free -g to see it in GB and it says mem total: 2 so it seems it just recognizes 2GB total memory

[09:37] <jjulian> its a laptop
[09:37] <ziroday> WIGGMPk: defoptions only adds those lines to the default kernel, not all the other ones

[09:37] <Guest43804> nothing

[09:38] <jjulian> jim_p, 4 gig ram, nvidia 256 dedicated up to 1 gig atheros wlan, realtek hd sound (which is not working) dual core X2
[09:38] <Guest43804> i installed cpu-freq-scalling applet
[09:38] <ziroday> Guest43804: you will need to be a bit more descriptive then that, can you bootup?
[09:38] <Guest43804> i think it messed something up
[09:39] <jim_p> jjulian: paste the output of free in pastebin and i will tell you. and i psomise to make realtek work
[09:39] <ziroday> WIGGMPk: the default kernel is the kernel automatically selected in grub. If you are only going to ever boot from that kernel then go ahead
[09:39] <WIGGMPk> ziroday: so options like vga=792 and noapic irqpoll can all be added to defoptions? right?
[09:40] <ziroday> WIGGMPk: correct

[09:46] <ziroday> Tumie: you can move the window around with alt and leftclick
[09:46] <ikonia> Tankado doesn't vmware require a gui ?
[09:46] <sharp_eyes> im a new user..
[09:46] <jjulian> jimp_p i cant allocate ram to the vga in bios so i dont know one mom
[09:46] <ikonia> sharp_eyes: hello, this is a support channel, so please feel free to ask ubuntu support questions
[09:47] <ziroday> sharp_eyes: yes, please keep your question on one line, ask it clearly, and address you responses
[09:47] <jjulian> jim_p,  jnvidia settings says both graphic cards have 512 mega bytes
[09:47] <jim_p> jjulian: use htop then and you are done
[09:47] <Tumie> ziroday: doesn't work :S
[09:47] <Appi> hi please any one help in running the first application of django in eclipse IDE
[09:47] <sharp_eyes> i hve downloaded ubuntu
[09:47] <Appi> hi please anyone help in running the first application of django in eclipse IDE
[09:47] <sharp_eyes> from ubuntu.com
[09:47] <sharp_eyes> now i want to make bootable cd for it install it on my pc.
[09:48] <jim_p> jjulian: both?! 2 vgas?? that means 1GB less
[09:48] <Tankado> ikonia : i dont know thats why i am asking, never tried it i guess it does
[09:48] <sharp_eyes> i dont know how to do it
[09:48] <ziroday> Tumie: alt and left click on the window will allow you to move it around so you can see the button you need to click
[09:48] <ikonia> Tankado I believe it does
[09:48] <central> #ubuntu studio
[09:48] <ziroday> !install | sharp_eyes
[09:48] <ubottu> sharp_eyes: Ubuntu can be installed in a lot of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall. Don't want to use a CD? Try http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate
[09:48] <sharp_eyes> yes
[09:48] <ikonia> Tankado also why install the server version, the desktop version with a gui is more suited to home hardware (as an FYI)
[09:48] <jjulian> jim_p,  right its a SLI nvidia card its not working all correct i get some text overlay graphic errors here and there
[09:49] <Tankado> ikonia : i am using it as a server to host files and run me things
[09:49] <Tumie> ziroday: doesn't work, i can't move the window to above, because my screen is too small
[09:49] <ikonia> Tankado the desktop is a good server too
[09:49] <ikonia> Tankado: you don't need the server install to act as a server
[09:49] <sharp_eyes> ubottu. im download it.. but i dont know how to make bootable cd ot if.
[09:49] <ubottu> Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :)
[09:49] <ziroday> Tumie: if you keep moving the mouse up the window should go above the top of the screen
[09:49] <jjulian> jim_p but that not a problem
[09:49] <sharp_eyes> ziroday u ther?
[09:49] <Tankado> ikonia : how can i install the desktop now on my server ? (without reinstalling everything)
[09:50] <ikonia> Tankado you can install the ubuntu-desktop package
[09:50] <ziroday> sharp_eyes: please read the documentation in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation, it tells you how to do all these things
[09:50] <Tankado> ikonia : ok thanks
[09:50] <linuxius> hi. how can I convert a .vdi (virtualbox) to a .vmx (vmware)?
[09:50] <chfwiggum> sharp_eyes: you simply have to burn that iso-image you downloaded onto a cd. then you can boot it
[09:50] <sharp_eyes> ok
[09:50] <jjulian> jim_p, but low sound is a problem
[09:50] <ikonia> linuxius doint think thats possible, join #vmware to see if they have any tools
[09:51] <ziroday> Tumie: are you using compiz?
[09:51] <jjulian> linuxius,  i guess its prossible
[09:51] <jjulian> if you boot into a ubuntu cd and make dd :)
[09:51] <jjulian> but thats just a work around maybe
[09:52] <jim_p> jjulian: lets take it one by one. a) you need a 64bit kernel b) depending on the age of your laptop, some components may not be supported by 2.6.24 kernel. c) use 64 bits to allocate more memory. now you have 0.5G + 0.5G + 2.5G for the rest of the system. That leaves you with 0.5G of useless memory (like blind spot). i can explain more, but i am in a hurry now
[09:52] <_coredump_> moinsen
[09:52] <thismamacooks200> well I need to sleep now. thanks jim_p and chaddy, even though my problem is unsolved I learned a lot. you two are the first people ever to respond to me in this channel (I've been coming here since Dapper)
[09:53] <jjulian> jim_p, its a brand new laptop and i dont wanna change to 64bit last time i used 64bit ubuntu i had just problems with it and drivers. so i wont switch and 0,5 gig ram blind is ok for me :)
[09:53] <FloodBot2> !netsplit
[09:54] <jim_p> jjulian: i have to go now. i will return in ~3 hours . can you be here to discuss it then?
[09:54] <jim_p> jjulian: i wrote your name down
[09:54] <jjulian> im here

[10:01] <Cosmo-san> heyo.  my webcam seems way too zoomed on Ubuntu.  On Windows it's fine, but here I can't seem to adjust the zoom.  any suggestions?

[10:02] <ziroday> sharp_eyes: yes
[10:02] <Tankado> if i install "ubuntu-desktop" on my ubuntu server will i be able to undo it?
[10:03] <ikonia> Tankado yes
[10:03] <sharp_eyes> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto
[10:03] <Tankado> how?
[10:03] <ikonia> Tankado althought as I said before I strongly advise you to use the ubuntu-desktop CD and re-instlal
[10:03] <sharp_eyes> i hve se this page. but it not burning.
[10:03] <ikonia> Tankado: remove the package
[10:03] <Tankado> ikonia : why ? the computer i am using is kinda old i only wanted it to serve as a server and now i only want the desktop to install a windows xp vmware
[10:04] <ikonia> Tankado if it's kind of old it probably won't work with vmware
[10:04] <ziroday> sharp_eyes: did you follow the instructions?
[10:04] <ziroday> sharp_eyes: and are you using iso recorder, or infra recorder?
[10:04] <ikonia> Tankado the desktop version of ubuntu is more aimed at home PC hardware so will make it easier to manage/support/perform and config
[10:05] <Tankado> ok thank you ikonia
[10:05] <Van_Glorious> How can I make Firefox automatically open irc links in xchat and connect to servers, rather than just showing me the network list.
[10:05] <sharp_eyes> yes
[10:05] <sharp_eyes> i just hve download it
[10:06] <sharp_eyes> but its not working properly

[10:06] <Cernex> hey, simple question
[10:06] <ziroday> Cernex: whats is it?
[10:06] <Cernex> How do I start the network manager app?
[10:06] <ziroday> Van_Glorious: you can ask in #xchat
[10:07] <ziroday> Cernex: nm-applet
[10:07] <ikonia> Cernex: simple answer: should be started by default
[10:07] <linny> after the grub screen where the spash should be it keeps going to verbose mode and in the list it says loading hardware drivers........... iTCO_wdt failed to reset no reboot flag, reboot disabled by hardware . any idea what that means ?
[10:07] <Van_Glorious> k
[10:07] <Cernex> ikonia: in a sense, yes. However, I had it unistalled when I was using Fawn.
[10:07] <sharp_eyes> ok chfwiggum

[10:07] <Cernex> I just upgraded to Gutsy
[10:07] <Cernex> And network app doesn't starts by default for whatever reason
[10:08] <ikonia> Cernex you may wnt to consider moving to 8.04, or even 8.10 very shortly
[10:08] <ikonia> Cernex: 7.10 is over a year old and not getting much attention
[10:08] <central> well it look there is no solution to use propelly openoffice under ubuntu studio... i will just install ubuntu desktop in virtualbox it will be fine. well thx anyway.
[10:08] <Cernex> Eh, I dunno. I'm using a wireless PCI for the time being
[10:08] <Cernex> I need to check compatibility issues first

[10:09] <wartalker> weather icon in panel is unknown, how to fix it
[10:09] <anabolix> i have a sony walkman and mounted it yesterday using "pmount -w /dev/(device id) (name)" and it worked... but now im mounting it again and it says i dont have rights the access it.. any suggestions
[10:09] <anabolix> ?
[10:10] <wartalker> anabolix: sudo
[10:10] <linny> anabolix sudo ?
[10:10] <linny> lol
[10:10] <anabolix> wartalker, it was actually "sudo pmount -w /dev/(device id) (name)"
[10:11] <anabolix> and its not working
[10:11] <ikonia> anabolix pmount ?
[10:11] <linny> after the grub screen where the spash should be it keeps going to verbose mode and in the list it says loading hardware drivers........... iTCO_wdt failed to reset no reboot flag, reboot disabled by hardware . any idea what that means ?
[10:12] <FPtje> Guys I need help
[10:12] <anabolix> its cause the device is not listed in the fstab, so i had to use pmount
[10:12] <ikonia> anabolix what ?
[10:12] <FPtje> Every time my wifi tries to connect it asks for my password
[10:12] <ikonia> anabolix: mount shouldn't update the fstab
[10:12] <ikonia> anabolix: it's not mount to
[10:12] <FPtje> with the key shit
[10:12] <Ohmu> I've just followed a guide for getting my wireless internet card working.
[10:12] <ikonia> FPtje careful of your language please.
[10:12] <Ohmu> ifconfig shows an ip is established.
[10:12] <Ohmu> but i can't get firefox to see google.com
[10:12] <Ohmu> ...or anything else.    How to do this?
[10:13] <FloodBot1> Ohmu: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[10:13] <anabolix> it doesnt automatically mount, so i had to do it manually, and i found a thread that had a solution using pmount, so thats what i used yesterday and it worked
[10:13] <anabolix> now i cant get it to work
[10:13] <FPtje> Sorry for my language but I am REALLY mad now at my linux installation
[10:13] <ikonia> Omoikane_: do "nslookup www.google.com"
[10:13] <FPtje> I tried this
[10:13] <ikonia> anabolix I see no reason to use pmount, and what is the exact error
[10:13] <FPtje> http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2007/07/12/automatically-unlocking-the-default-gnome-keyring-pam-keyring/
[10:13] <FPtje> but it doesnt freaking help
[10:13] <FPtje> it STILL asks for my password
[10:14] <Appi> when i login to Ubuntu i should run ifup eth0 command in order access the internet. Why is that happening?
[10:14] <FPtje> the guide didn't do anything
[10:14] <ikonia> Appi you mean ifconfig eth0 is not happening on it's own ?
[10:14] <anabolix> "you dont have the permissions necessary to view the contents of (Walkman)"
[10:14] <ziroday> FPtje: alot of people have claimed that guide didn't work, not our fault
[10:14] <ikonia> anabolix what happens if you just use "mount" to mount it
[10:14] <Ohmu> ikonia:  ok..   problem is I cant stay on  this channel while I fix it.  I have to take the card out of this windoze box,  and stick it in my linux box.
[10:15] <Ohmu> what do you rkn I need to do to 'connect' firefox to the internet connection?
[10:15] <ikonia> Ohmu I suspect your machien is not getting name servers from dhcp
[10:15] <FPtje> ziroday: Then how do I solve it
[10:15] <ikonia> Omoikane_: do the test I suggested with the card back in the box

[10:16] <anabolix> ikonia: mount: can't find /dev/sdd1 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
[10:16] <FPtje> ziroday what did I do worng
[10:16] <ziroday> FPtje: please see http://forum.eeeuser.com/viewtopic.php?id=15346

[10:16] <ubottu> chfwiggum, please see my private message
[10:17] <ikonia> anabolix what command are you using
[10:17] <Ohmu> ok brb ..  .thanks
[10:17] <anabolix> ikonia, sudo mount /dev/sdd1
[10:17] <ikonia> anabolix: thats not the right command
[10:17] <ikonia> anabolix: you need to specify a mount point
[10:17] <FPtje> ziroday: the site doesnt load
[10:18] <ikonia> anabolix: sudo mount /dev/sdd1 $mount_point
[10:18] <Appi> Hi anyone please guide to fix this Issue.  when i login to Ubuntu i should run ifup eth0 command in order access the internet. Why is that happening?
[10:18] <anabolix> ikonia, i did this the first time "sudo mount /dev/sdd1 Walkman" and did not work
[10:18] <ikonia> anabolix walkman is not a valid mount point
[10:18] <ikonia> anabolix: it needs to be /mnt/Walkman or, /media/disk or whatever you want but "walkman" is not a valid mount point
[10:18] <FPtje> ziroday: do you have any other sites? this one doesnt work
[10:18] <anabolix> ikonia, im new to ubuntu, so im not sure what a mount point is exactly
[10:19] <anabolix> kk let me try
[10:19] <ikonia> anabolix a location on the disk where you want your device ot "hang off"
[10:19] <ziroday> FPtje: it works over here, am pastebinning the instructions for you. Please wait a sec
[10:19] <FPtje> ziroday: thanks a lot

[10:20] <ikonia> error404notfound many times
[10:20] <koshari> anabolix think as a mount point as a placeholder for the directory tree of the intended drive to be rooted.
[10:20] <knoppix> hello, I upgraded to Hardy yesterday.. it seemed to work fine but I can't get it to startup.. all I get is a prompt and a big list of commands

[10:24] <anabolix> ikonia, and to unmount "sudo umount /dev/sdd1 /media" assuming /media was my mount point?
[10:24] <ikonia> anabolix just sudo umount /media will do

[10:28] <tdawgedogg> IM NOT USING A MONITOR
[10:28] <tdawgedogg> thats the whole point
[10:28] <ikonia> tdawgedogg so how do you know your resolution is off /
[10:28] <tdawgedogg> the monitor has nothing to do with this
[10:29] <SlimeyPete> are you using the PC remotely then?
[10:29] <tdawgedogg> yes vnc client
[10:29] <tdawgedogg> this is a server type thing
[10:29] <FPtje> ziroday: that is exactly the same as that guide that doesnt work...
[10:29] <tdawgedogg> that im accessing remotely
[10:29] <SlimeyPete> oh, right. Just change the settings in your client then.
[10:29] <ikonia> tdawgedogg surly that sa client thing, not a server thing ?

[10:30] <tdawgedogg> normal hardy 8.04
[10:30] <tdawgedogg> i just need to trick the xorg.conf to give me a higher res
[10:30] <jeremiah> tdawgedogg: Look at your VNC server's instructions on changing resolution
[10:30] <tdawgedogg> is what someone told me earlier
[10:30] <tdawgedogg> NO
[10:30] <ikonia> tdawgedogg what does "lsmod | grep -i nvidia"  show you ?
[10:30] <tdawgedogg> jeremiah: it doesnt have to do with the viewer
[10:31] <tdawgedogg> the view will take whatever resolution the server is set at
[10:31] <jeremiah> If you are so sure how it works, why don't you fix it then?
[10:31] <ikonia> error404notfound: just walking thorugh your setup now
[10:31] <jeremiah> And I didn't say "viewer" I said "server"
[10:31] <tdawgedogg> i just know the the res has to be changed on the actual machine that is being vnc'd into
[10:31] <ikonia> tdawgedogg what does "lsmod | grep -i nvidia"  show you ?
[10:31] <jeremiah> tdawgedogg: THAT IS WHAT I JUST TOLD YOU!
[10:32] <ikonia> jitu3485: drop the caps

[10:32] <ikonia> tdawgedogg: if you want help, listen to the question I've asked, or you can continue arguing else where
[10:32] <jeremiah> tdawgedogg: Umm - I don't think you are in a position to say how it works since you clearly do not know.
[10:32] <ikonia> tdawgedogg what does "lsmod | grep -i nvidia"  show you ?
[10:32] <tdawgedogg> ikonia: im trying
[10:33] <tdawgedogg> i typed that in and i got no output in terminal
[10:33] <tdawgedogg> i musta typed it in wrong
[10:33] <tdawgedogg> im trying
[10:33] <ikonia> tdawgedogg: no, thats fine
[10:33] <tdawgedogg> ok
[10:33] <ikonia> tdawgedogg: no output is a valid response
[10:33] <jeremiah> tdawgedogg: You may not have an Nvidia graphic card
[10:33] <ikonia> tdawgedogg: and hence the problem
[10:33] <error404notfound> ikonia: updated... with a little information that you required and others: http://pastebin.com/m2d83a4cf
[10:33] <tdawgedogg> im pretty sure its nvidia
[10:33] <ikonia> tdawgedogg: what video card are you using
[10:33] <ikonia> jeremiah: he's not enabled the restricted drivers by the looks of it
[10:33] <jeremiah> tdawgedogg: Your lsmod command would have show that
[10:34] <ikonia> jeremiah: no it doesn't
[10:34] <ikonia> jeremiah: lsmod shows kernel modules
[10:34] <tdawgedogg> well no monitor is hooked up to video card if thats a problem
[10:34] <ikonia> tdawgedogg: do you know what make/model video card you have
[10:34] <tdawgedogg> yeah let me check newegg hang on
[10:34] <jeremiah> ikonia: my mistake
[10:34] <FPtje> ziroday: could you go on a vnc server and solve my problem? I'd allow you
[10:34] <anabolix> ikonia, sorry to be a bother, but i cant copy files to my walkman, i even tried using the option -w (for read/write) and still doesnt work.. any ideas?
[10:34] <ikonia> anabolix what does it say ?
[10:34] <ziroday> FPtje: no.
[10:35] <FPtje> ziroday: why not! :(
[10:35] <anabolix> nothing, i dont have the paste option when i right click on the window, and ctrl+v doesnt paste either
[10:35] <ikonia> error404notfound: that error is strange in that it shouldn't matter
[10:35] <anabolix> the paste option is greyed out
[10:35] <ikonia> anabolix ctrl+c and ctrl+v is not cut and paste
[10:35] <jeremiah> anabolix: Do you have a three-button mouse?
[10:36] <knoppix> how is it possible that ubntu runs but cannot restart itself somehow?
[10:36] <ziroday> FPtje: for a multitude of reasons which I don't want to flood this channel with. If you must know then pm me
[10:36] <ikonia> anabolix: ok, it looks like it's mounted read only, OR the sony memory stick is magic gate DRM locked
[10:36] <error404notfound> ikonia: yup...
[10:36] <anabolix> no im using laptop touchpad
[10:36] <tdawgedogg> BFG Tech BFGR76256GTOCE GeForce 7600GT 256MB
[10:36] <tdawgedogg> my video card guys
[10:36] <tdawgedogg> if that helps
[10:36] <anabolix> ikonia, any solutions?
[10:36] <knoppix> impressive
[10:36] <FPtje> ziroday: do you think anyone else would connect to a vnc to solve it?
[10:36] <ikonia> tdawgedogg: ok, can you vnc to the box now
[10:36] <tdawgedogg> im in ikonia
[10:37] <tdawgedogg> i have the xorg.conf open
[10:37] <ikonia> anabolix: well, it's a fat32 file ssytem as I recall so you could try mounting it with the option -o user=$your_username
[10:37] <ziroday> FPtje: I cannot speak, for everyone, or for that matter anyone besides me on this chaneel
[10:37] <tdawgedogg> i assume thats what i need to edit
[10:37] <anabolix> ikonia, and i mounted it with "sudo mount -w /dev/sdd1 /media"  -w being the read/write option
[10:37] <ikonia> tdawgedogg: don't open xorg.conf, go to "system -> administration -> hardawre drivers" menu
[10:37] <FPtje> ziroday: it could have been that you have a global reason like "its dangerous for your pc" or something
[10:37] <ikonia> anabolix: that won't work
[10:37] <ikonia> anabolix: -o user=$your_user_name
[10:38] <tdawgedogg> ikonia: nvidia accelerated graphics drive is in use
[10:38] <tdawgedogg> its checked

[10:38] <anabolix> ikonia: "mount -o mahdi /dev/sdd1 /media" mahdi being my user name?
[10:38] <ikonia> tdawgedogg: again - please verify "lsmod | grep nvidia"
[10:38] <knoppix> why is the directory with configurations files called /etc ?
[10:38] <blip-> Kubuntu 8.10 beta have the same repo content as ubuntu 8.04 ?
[10:38] <tdawgedogg> well when a monitor is plugged in i can get a 1080p res perfectly
=== sean is now known as Guest3093
[10:38] <ikonia> anabolix: -o user=mahadi
[10:38] <jeremiah> knoppix: For historical reasons.
[10:39] <blip-> also can kubuntu 8.10 Beta be upgraded to non-beta without a reinstall ?   thanks
[10:39] <ikonia> blip-: yes, but its not advisable
[10:39] <tdawgedogg> ikonia: no output
[10:39] <knoppix> jeremiah, wouldn't it have been better to make that a logical reason?
[10:39] <jeremiah> blip-: No, it does not have the same content per se.
[10:39] <tdawgedogg> do i have to put sudo in front of it
[10:39] <ikonia> tdawgedogg: please do "sudo modprobe nvidia"
[10:39] <jeremiah> knoppix: It was done a long, long time ago. You can look at the linux standards base for more info
[10:39] <tdawgedogg> Not loading nvidia module; not used in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[10:40] <ikonia> tdawgedogg: ok, now we are getting somewhere
[10:40] <tdawgedogg> haha
[10:40] <jeremiah> tdawgedogg: Is X running?
[10:40] <tdawgedogg> yes
[10:40] <blip-> jeremiah:  i'm currently using kubuntu 8.04 and it seems the same underneath as ubuntu 8.04.  are  you saying that is different with 8.10 ?
[10:40] <tdawgedogg> X meaning gnome right?
[10:40] <anabolix> ikonia, sudo mount -o user=mahdi /dev/sdd1 /media
[10:40] <anabolix> and i got
[10:40] <ikonia> tdawgedogg: open the xorg.conf file, and go down to a bit that says "Configured Video Card" or soemthign like that
[10:40] <tdawgedogg> im there
[10:40] <anabolix> ikonia: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdd1,
[10:40] <anabolix>        missing codepage or helper program, or other error
[10:40] <anabolix>        In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
[10:40] <anabolix>        dmesg | tail  or so
[10:40] <jeremiah> blip-: Yeah, 8.04 is the same as 8.04.
[10:40] <FloodBot1> anabolix: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[10:40] <blip-> ikonia: i see.  so it's better if i wait for kubuntu 8.10 Final ?   do you know where i can check the timeline for that ?
[10:40] <ikonia> add a line like this Driver "nvidia"
[10:40] <ikonia> blip- october 30'th
[10:41] <jeremiah> blip-: You can test the beta now however.
[10:42] <jeremiah> Which brings me to my question, are there known gpg issues with the repos? I am getting warnings about insecure downloads.
[10:42] <blip-> jeremiah, ikonia: hmm, so do you think i am better of sticking with 8.04 in order to match packages in the ubuntu 8.04 server ?   or will most of the core OS and c++/java/ development related things be the same in 8.10 final ?   thanks
[10:42] <jeremiah> blip-: It is very easy to upgrade
[10:42] <blip-> because ultimately the code and programs should run on the 8.04 server
[10:42] <jeremiah> So use 8.04
[10:43] <ikonia> blip- 8.10  and 8.10 will be in sync
[10:43] <ikonia> blip-: 8.10 and 8.04 version will not be compatible

[10:43] <tdawgedogg> ikonia: thats it?
[10:43] <tdawgedogg> just add driver nvidia?
[10:43] <ikonia> tdawgedogg "sudo modprobe nvidia" now
[10:44] <tdawgedogg> no output
[10:44] <ikonia> thats fine

[10:45] <tdawgedogg> oops
[10:45] <blip-> ikonia:  so what if i use "Kubuntu 8.04 KDE4 Remix" ... won't that give me the coolness of kde4 and the compatiblity of 8.04 with the 8.04 server ?
[10:45] <tdawgedogg> nvidia               5663348  0

[10:45] <Guest97143> hello
[10:45] <ikonia> blip- 8.04 desktop and server are compatible anyway
[10:45] <ikonia> blip-: you don't need a "remix" or anything like that
[10:45] <Tankado> what is "[pdflush]" i see on my processes list?
[10:45] <ikonia> tdawgedogg: ok, restart the X server, and you should be working
[10:45] <ikonia> Tankado: kernel thread
[10:45] <tdawgedogg> ikonia: whats the command to restart xserver...i usually just restart the computer :)
[10:45] <Tankado> thanks
[10:46] <sivarshana> hu
[10:46] <ikonia> tdawgedogg reboot the computer then, you've not got a desktop so maybe easier/quicker
[10:46] <blip-> ikonia, sorry i meant will the KDE4 remix of 8.04 = ubuntu 8.04 in terms of  underneath packages in the repos ?
[10:46] <ikonia> blip- what you are saying makes no sense
[10:46] <ikonia> blip-: there is no need for any remix
[10:46] <tdawgedogg> jeremiah: thanks for trying to help...in this case the vnc server or viewer didnt have to do with the resolution
[10:46] <blip-> ikonia: so how can i get kde4 on kubuntu 8.04 then ?
[10:46] <ikonia> blip-: the 8.04 packages are up to date and maintained and compatible with any ubuntu 8.04 problem
[10:46] <Tankado> ikonia : is it safe to terminate it ?
[10:47] <Tankado> i dunno what its doing
[10:47] <ikonia> Tankado no
[10:47] <ikonia> Tankado let it be
[10:47] <ikonia> blip- install the kde4 packages
[10:47] <blip-> ikonia: ah i see :)
[10:47] <ikonia> blip- they are int eh 8.04 repos
[10:48] <blip-> ikonia:  ok great.  so 8.10 is out of the picture then,  even though it looks soo cool  :)
[10:48] <ikonia> blip- you can use 8.10 if you want, but not with a 8.04 base
[10:49] <tripppy> when starting up ubuntu my toolbar and system icons take forever to load. wifi especially. when quiting gnome, the bars disappear but it doesnt show reboot/shutdown options. how do i fix?
[10:49] <tdawgedogg> ikonia: uh oh its not letting me vnc into it
[10:50] <ikonia> tdawgedogg is vnc running ?
[10:50] <tdawgedogg> yes it runs on start
[10:50] <ikonia> is it running though
[10:50] <tdawgedogg> i dunno
[10:50] <ikonia> there we go then
[10:50] <tdawgedogg> i restarted
[10:50] <tdawgedogg> it
[10:50] <tdawgedogg> so it should start on start
[10:50] <ikonia> check it's running
[10:50] <tdawgedogg> well i cant unless i walk in and plug in a monitor lol
[10:50] <ikonia> tdawgedogg: well, you can, but if thats what it takes, plug in the monitor
[10:51] <tdawgedogg> thank god the server is not remote

=== haptiK is now known as autoloading
[10:52] <blip-> ikonia: one last question please,  is my understanding correct that an ubuntu 8.10 will also come out... and will have an updated "base" which will not be the same packages as with 8.04.. so for example it may have lib-readline 1.3  instead of lib-readline 1.1  right ?

[10:55] <indian_munnda> thomasite: install build-essentials
[10:55] <ikonia> knoppix no
[10:55] <pross-au> ubunutu is far from complicated.
[10:55] <knoppix> is the never version hardy an improvement or in incomplicatement?
[10:55] <knoppix> imcomplicatement
[10:55] <pross-au> (but it could be better! please contribute)
[10:55] <ikonia> knoppix each version is normally an improvment
[10:56] <knoppix> well, I can't startup my new version
[10:56] <thomasite> indian_munnda, what will it install in my system? (pardon my ignorance)
[10:56] <indian_munnda> thomasite: primary compiler package
[10:56] <knoppix> ikonia, what could be the problem if it worked but doesn't startup?\
[10:56] <thomasite> will it already allow me to do c++?
[10:57] <thomasite> does it have an IDE?
[10:57] <Cosmo-san> ok, nothing seems to play videos correctly anymore.  "Movie Player", which I assume is Totem, plays one frame every 10 seconds with no sound and no option to speed it up.  VLC plays video ok, but no audio and freezes every time I try to disable the supposedly playing audio track.
[10:57] <ikonia> knoppix it worked but doesn't start up ?
[10:57] <knoppix> yes
[10:57] <Controversial> Hey sh|tbags
[10:57] <knoppix> it worked after the upgrade but after rebooting I cannot run it anymore
[10:57] <Controversial> I have a question, can I ask a question?
[10:57] <ikonia> knoppix whats the problem
[10:57] <indian_munnda> thomasite: no it will not
[10:58] <thomasite> So build-essentials is needed for me to have a c++ working?
[10:58] <thomasite> ?
[10:58] <knoppix> I upgraded a couple of days ago but it won't startup, I get the splash screen without a list of started up processes at that moment and afterwards a simple prompt only
[10:58] <indian_munnda> thomasite: you need g++ for running c++ programs
[10:58] <indian_munnda> thomasite: yes you need it
[10:58] <thomasite> I'll install essentials first then g++ and then for IDE?
[10:59] <indian_munnda> thomasite: no, just do this sudo apt-get install build-essential
[10:59] <knoppix> ikonia, have you ever had such a thing?
[10:59] <ikonia> knoppix: well, yes and no, yes I've heard of the problem you have, but not for no reason

[11:15] <Xavura> ugggggh
[11:15] <knoppix> ikonia, they do say that the best design comes not when there's nothing more to add, but only when there's nothing that can be taken away, what I'm trying to say.. an improved version of ubuntu should be better, cooler and easier to start up for simple creatures that we human beings are!!
[11:15] <Xavura> indian_munnda: Beast is not even like what I'm looking for, nothing like it at all
[11:15] <ikonia> knoppix: what are you talking about
[11:16] <knoppix> I can't startup my new version of ubuntu
[11:16] <knoppix> and I'm really sad
[11:16] <knoppix> ikonia, I need to know what conf files to edit so that startup rebecomes possible
[11:17] <SIRavecavec> how do i log in to ubuntu interface as root?
[11:17] <ikonia> knoppix: I'll be honest, I don't know what your talking about as your not makng any sense
[11:17] <ikonia> SIRavecavec: you don't, thats disabled
[11:17] <BlueEagle> !sudo | SIRavecavec
[11:17] <ubottu> SIRavecavec: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome), or !kdesu (KDE)
[11:17] <knoppix> it is me the guy that used to be called 'idefix'
[11:17] <SIRavecavec> ikonia but how i change file permisions?
[11:17] <indian_munnda> Xavura: sorry for late reply, but u needed a package for music composition it is. see this link: http://beast.gtk.org/
[11:18] <knoppix> don't you remember me from a couple days ago?
[11:18] <BlueEagle> SIRavecavec: What ubottu said.
[11:18] <SIRavecavec> BlueEagle i know that.
[11:18] <ikonia> SIRavecavec use sudo
[11:18] <SlimeyPete> sudo chmod 755 myfile.txt
[11:18] <SIRavecavec> ikonia i did
[11:18] <ikonia> SIRavecavec: so what's the problem ?
[11:18] <Xavura> indian_munnda: I installed beast... it is not music composition software
[11:18] <SIRavecavec> not working
[11:18] <SlimeyPete> SIRavecavec: paste the command you used here
[11:18] <BlueEagle> SIRavecavec: Which command did you attempt to run and which error message did you get?
[11:18] <SIRavecavec> in interface it says only root can manage that
[11:19] <SIRavecavec> chmod 755 filename
[11:19] <SIRavecavec> from root console
[11:19] <SlimeyPete> sudo chmod 755 filename
[11:19] <BlueEagle> SIRavecavec: add sudo before that.
[11:19] <SIRavecavec> no error
[11:19] <SIRavecavec> if im root?
[11:19] <SIRavecavec> why?
[11:19] <SlimeyPete> you're not root
[11:19] <ikonia> SIRavecavec how are you root
[11:19] <SIRavecavec> i am
[11:19] <SIRavecavec> i did
[11:19] <SIRavecavec> su
[11:19] <FloodBot1> SIRavecavec: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[11:19] <SIRavecavec> enter password
[11:19] <BlueEagle> SIRavecavec: Are you attempting to chmod a directory in which a filesystem is mounted to gain access to it as a normal user?
[11:19] <SIRavecavec> and i am, root
[11:19] <SlimeyPete> so you've enabled the root account? oh right
[11:19] <SIRavecavec> yes
[11:20] <SIRavecavec> i need access to 2 files
[11:20] <SIRavecavec> :(
[11:20] <BlueEagle> SIRavecavec: Then you need to change your mount options instead.
[11:20] <ikonia> SIRavecavec tshow me "id"
[11:20] <SIRavecavec> from that directory.
[11:20] <BlueEagle> !mount | SIRavecavec
[11:20] <ubottu> SIRavecavec: For help with partitioning a new install see: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/switching/installing-partitioning.html - For partitioning programs see !GParted or !QTParted - Other partitioning topics include !fstab !home and !swap
[11:20] <ikonia> SIRavecavec: what files, and where are they stored
[11:20] <voland> are there any russian translators?
[11:20] <BlueEagle> ikonia: I debugged it. ;)
[11:20] <ikonia> voland: there are tons in ubuntu-ru
[11:20] <SIRavecavec> ikonia this files belongs to gnome-ppp and stored in /dev/ppp
[11:20] <ikonia> BlueEagle: debugged what ?
[11:21] <ikonia> SIRavecavec: thats a device file
[11:21] <ikonia> SIRavecavec: thats controlled by udev rules
[11:21] <SIRavecavec> so...
[11:21] <SIRavecavec> :(
[11:21] <ikonia> SIRavecavec: what are you trying to do ?
[11:21] <BlueEagle> SIRavecavec: read the !mount factoid from ubottu.
[11:21] <ikonia> BlueEagle: he's trying to change a device file
[11:21] <SIRavecavec> i try to connect my ubuntu to internet via gnome-ppp and nokia modem
[11:21] <BlueEagle> ikonia: SIRavecavec: Are you attempting to chmod a directory in which a filesystem is mounted to gain access to it as a normal user?
[11:21] <tdawgedogg> ikonia: im back to square one...i cant turn the res up
[11:21] <ikonia> BlueEagle: what good is "mount"
[11:22] <ikonia> tdawgedogg: what's up
[11:22] <farciarz84> hi
[11:22] <tdawgedogg> im using envy to download the correct drivers though so i will see how this works and report back
[11:22] <SIRavecavec> BlueEagle
[11:22] <SIRavecavec> i do not have internet in ubuntu.
[11:22] <jiangwei> damn..
[11:22] <BlueEagle> SIRavecavec: Oh, well, why did you answer yes to my question or did you forget !who
[11:22] <SIRavecavec> all i need
[11:22] <SIRavecavec> its chnage permision to those 2 files
[11:23] <BlueEagle> !who | SIRavecavec
[11:23] <ubottu> SIRavecavec: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :)
[11:23] <jiangwei> who
[11:23] <neil> pipegeek
[11:23] <SIRavecavec> ohhh
[11:23] <Xavura> !tab?
[11:23] <ubottu> Sorry, I don't know anything about tab?
[11:23] <voland> ikonia, there are tons of users but hardly any translators on ubuntu-ru :( i need to translate Machine Trust Account into Russian. I need a defenition of this term.
[11:23] <BlueEagle> SIRavecavec: What you want to do is to run `ls -l` on the filename and look at which group owns those files and then add the user in question to those groups.
[11:23] <SIRavecavec> ikonia i try to connect my ubuntu to internet via gnome-ppp and nokia modem
[11:23] <BlueEagle> s/those groups/that group/
[11:23] <ikonia> voland thats the best there is
[11:23] <venome> !tab
[11:23] <ubottu> You can use <tab> for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line.
[11:23] <Xavura> Oh, yeah, I know that
[11:23] <Xavura> Just didn't know what "!tab" meant.
[11:24] <neil> pipegeek
[11:24] <voland> ikonia, thank you anyway
[11:24] <ikonia> voland sorry
[11:24] <SIRavecavec> BlueEagle i did that
[11:24] <SIRavecavec> BlueEagle root owns those files, i aded to my group.
[11:24] <SIRavecavec> BlueEagle and nothing
[11:24] <BlueEagle> SIRavecavec: then you need to log out and log back in for the changes to take effect. Also check that the files are group read/writable.
[11:24] <ikonia> SIRavecavec root should not own those files as a group
[11:25] <j_zhang> hello
[11:25] <j_zhang> everyone
[11:25] <Tonio_> hi
[11:25] <SIRavecavec> ikonia he did own as root
[11:25] <j_zhang> i need help with wammu and se w200
[11:25] <SIRavecavec> BlueEagle told me about group
[11:25] <ikonia> SIRavecavec: the group should not be root
[11:25] <neil> what is the limewire for ubuntu
[11:26] <conic> frostwire
[11:26] <BlueEagle> SIRavecavec: Please show us the output from `ls -l /dev/filename`
[11:26] <SIRavecavec> ikonia i asked something and its derivating into something else
[11:26] <SIRavecavec> BlueEagle i cant...
[11:26] <neil> wat is frostwire
[11:26] <BlueEagle> SIRavecavec: why not?
[11:26] <SIRavecavec> BlueEagle i use 2 OS on same pc
[11:26] <SIRavecavec> And from Ubuntu cant go online.
[11:26] <SIRavecavec> BlueEagle And from Ubuntu cant go online.
[11:27] <SIRavecavec> :(
[11:27] <neil> wat is frostwire
=== alberto is now known as bet0x
[11:27] <j_zhang> limewire=bittorrent ? if yes, then you can use transmission
[11:27] <ikonia> neil limwire
[11:27] <chfwiggum> neil: giyf
[11:27] <ikonia> j_zhang: limre is not bitt torrent
[11:27] <bimberi> !frostwire | neil
[11:27] <ubottu> neil: frostwire is a totally open source version of Limewire.  For installation help, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FrostWire
[11:27] <neil> ok
[11:28] <frk2> or use amule
[11:28] <BlueEagle> SIRavecavec: Ahh, I see. Then what you need to do is (write this down) `ls -l /dev/filename` and check which group the file belongs to. The output should be something like crw-rw----+ 1 root audio 14, 3 2008-10-10 19:41 /dev/dsp
[11:28] <j_zhang> so, anybody can help me with wammu?
[11:28] <frk2> !amule
[11:28] <ubottu> Sorry, I don't know anything about amule
[11:28] <BlueEagle> SIRavecavec: here you see that root is the owner and audio is the group for /dev/dsp. For /dev/ppp I am guessing root will be the owner and dialup or net will be the group.
[11:28] <bet0x> Im impressed with ubuntu /linux/debian i installed the latest stable on my laptop, an LG R200 and i dont need to do nothing weird all my drivers works
[11:29] <BlueEagle> SIRavecavec: But you need to add yourself to the group to be able to use the device(s) in question.
[11:29] <SIRavecavec> BlueEagle and after that ? how do i add my group to them ?
[11:29] <bet0x> But no replacement for SideShow T_T
[11:29] <frk2> bet0x, thats how it mostly is now. dont know why it is still not gaining mass adoption
[11:29] <BlueEagle> SIRavecavec: there are graphical utilities for it. If not I think the syntax for usermod is: usermod -Ga <group> <username>
[11:30] <neil> what viruses are there for ubuntu
[11:30] <erUSUL> neil: none
[11:30] <BlueEagle> SIRavecavec: I recomend using the graphical utility because it's easy to loose groups with usermod. I've done that a 100 times.
[11:30] <SIRavecavec> BlueEagle  i cant via interface
[11:30] <bet0x> frk2, the new laptops like my new one has an display 2,5 inches on the back, with Windows SideShow now we need to hack that :p
[11:30] <neil> at all
[11:31] <BlueEagle> SIRavecavec: Why not?
[11:31] <SIRavecavec> BlueEagle is not working.
[11:31] <fatima> hola
[11:31] <fatima> como esta
[11:31] <fatima> n??
[11:31] <erUSUL> !es | fatima
[11:31] <ubottu> fatima: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es.
[11:31] <BlueEagle> !es | fatima
[11:31] <SIRavecavec> BlueEagle I did it allready.
[11:31] <BlueEagle> erUSUL: You beat me to it. :)
[11:31] <fatima> como ??
[11:31] <erUSUL> BlueEagle: ;)
[11:31] <fatima> no entiendo esto
[11:31] <BlueEagle> SIRavecavec: You added yourself to the dialup group?
[11:31] <SIRavecavec> BlueEagle The only group or user that own those files is ROOT
[11:31] <fatima> hello
[11:31] <erUSUL> fatima: escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" para entrar en el chat en español
[11:31] <neil> hi
[11:31] <SIRavecavec> BlueEagle thats what file info show me
[11:31] <BlueEagle> SIRavecavec: Then you need to check that the module for ppp is loaded.
[11:31] <fatima> what are you?
[11:32] <erUSUL> fatima: sin comillas
[11:32] <neil> human
[11:32] <SIRavecavec> BlueEagle how i check that ?
[11:32] <fatima> olle
[11:32] <fatima> alguien habla español aki??
[11:32] <BlueEagle> SIRavecavec: `lsmod|grep ppp` I guess.
[11:32] <neil> wat are u fatima
[11:32] <j_zhang> how to know which port my phone is connected? it's connected via usb cable
[11:32] <bet0x> fatima,  para soporte entra a #ubuntu-es pone  /join #ubuntu-es
[11:32] <rraj_be> my friends system is in trouble
[11:32] <rraj_be> could any one help me
[11:33] <ikonia> rraj_be: what's the issue
[11:33] <SIRavecavec> I did not understand to much.
[11:33] <rraj_be> he can copy only in root mode
[11:33] <ikonia> rraj_be: copy what,
[11:33] <neil> i need help with windows xp
[11:33] <SIRavecavec> I to guess i will forget ubuntu. Never get a problem fixed.
[11:33] <ikonia> neil: join ##windows
[11:33] <neil> no windows me
[11:33] <rraj_be> when he copies any thing in ordinary mode the pste option is disabled
[11:33] <voland> j_zhang, lsusb, hwinfo
[11:33] <neil> ok
[11:33] <rraj_be> just any files
[11:34] <BlueEagle> SIRavecavec: If you don't want to read (that is read as in google) then you will most likely never get things fixed. ;)
[11:34] <ikonia> rraj_be: you need to look at the permissions on the target file systems
[11:34] <j_zhang> i'll try voland, thanks
[11:34] <BlueEagle> SIRavecavec: Which modem are you using and how is it connected to your computer?
[11:34] <voland> j_zhang? you are welcome
[11:34] <SIRavecavec> its a usb cable conexion the modem is in my phone.
[11:34] <BlueEagle> SIRavecavec: Ahh, right, the nokia mobile. I forgot. :)
[11:34] <j_zhang> voland, it list my phone: Bus 002 Device 003: ID 0fce:e090 Sony Ericsson Mobile Communications AB
[11:34] <SIRavecavec> i ask assistance 1 month ago what to do no one helped me with concret work
[11:35] <DJones> rraj_be: Where is your friend trying to copy files to?
[11:35] <j_zhang> so which part is the port's name?
[11:35] <SIRavecavec> i think i should buy assistance
[11:35] <SIRavecavec> maybe il be helped.
[11:35] <voland> j_zhang, so what do you want to know
[11:35] <SIRavecavec> money talks this days
[11:35] <blankthemuffin> SIRavecavec, yeah remember we're not being paid or anything. We help where we can, but we can't fix everything.
[11:35] <jeremiah> SIRavecavec: Linux is entirely volunteer.
[11:35] <BlueEagle> SIRavecavec: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=166617 is for an older version of Ubuntu but it may still apply.
[11:35] <j_zhang> voland, I connect my phone to wammu, and it ask for port name
[11:36] <j_zhang> voland, exact prompt in wammu: device name of usb port
[11:36] <SIRavecavec> jeremiah , blankthemuffin http://www.ubuntu.com/support/paid
[11:36] <remoteCTR2> is there any ubuntu version that ships with a bigmem kernel?
[11:36] <blankthemuffin> jeremiah, not quite.
[11:36] <SIRavecavec> read this, and we see
[11:37] <xjohnthomasx2> hi people, i need to fix the home/.dmrc error which keeps popping on bootup to say it should be 644. i change it to 644, and then it just reoccurs the next time i startup!!!! also, now that i changed home folder permissions to 700 with sudo chmod, i can't even log into my home/profile. when i log into the ubuntu session, it just pops an error.. and seems blank!!!!!
[11:37] <jeremiah> blankthemuffin: Oh yes it is - you can pay for support, but linux is totally volunteer.
[11:37] <remoteCTR2> !bigmem
[11:37] <ubottu> Sorry, I don't know anything about bigmem
[11:37] <remoteCTR2> !himem
[11:37] <ubottu> Sorry, I don't know anything about himem
[11:37] <neil> how much ram does ubuntu need
[11:37] <blankthemuffin> jeremiah, that's a bit of an extension of the truth, there is lots of paid development which goes into linux.
[11:37] <jeremiah> SIRavecavec: That is support from Canonical - it has nothing to do with linux.
[11:37] <ikonia> neil 256 minimum
[11:38] <rraj_be> ikonia: any idea
[11:38] <rraj_be> ikonia:  i thik he was not owning the partitions
[11:38] <neil> is 1500 good then
[11:38] <cole> hi all, has anyone got any idea how to setup mldonkey?
[11:38] <jeremiah> blankthemuffin: But it doesn't _have_ to, it depends on what Linus decides.
[11:38] <ikonia> rraj_be check the permissinos on the target file system
[11:38] <xjohnthomasx2> anyone know what i did with my permissions?????? eeeeeeeeeekkkkk i can't even log into my session!!!
[11:38] <voland> j_zhang, you can try reconnect your phone and watch output of dmesg | tail 20
[11:38] <neil> is opera good
[11:38] <ikonia> neil try it
[11:38] <jeremiah> neil: Yes, it is an excellent browser.
[11:39] <xjohnthomasx2> i borked my home folder and .dmrc permissions! help!!!!!!!!
[11:39] <neil> ok
[11:39] <jeremiah> neil: But it is not open source!
[11:39] <blankthemuffin> jeremiah, once again not really, anybody can work on the linux kernel, and they can be paid for it, just because you get it for free doesn't mean it's been totally developed for nothing.
[11:39] <rraj_be> the partitions are not in home folder hw to make it to mount under /home
[11:39] <remoteCTR2> how much ram does the 64 bit or the server version support?
[11:39] <ikonia> rraj_be it doesn't matter where they are
[11:39] <jeremiah> blankthemuffin: Wrong. Linux is volunteer. Anything that goes in there is based on the work of the kernel maintainer - that is Linus.
[11:39] <ikonia> remoteCTR2: 32gig by default, up to 128 gig potentially
[11:40] <jeremiah> blankthemuffin: You can fork it if you want.
[11:40] <ikonia> jeremiah: blankthemuffin can you take this to #ubuntu-offtopic please.
[11:40] <jeremiah> sure. :)
[11:40] <rraj_be> k how to own that partition.. . .he actually doesnt have the permnision
[11:40] <remoteCTR2> ikonia: which one, server or 64 or both?
[11:40] <xjohnthomasx2> ikonia, can you help me fix my home folder permissions?
[11:40] <dekkong> jeremiah: I'm from finland and we have our gottage near linus :)
[11:40] <ikonia> remoteCTR2 server
[11:40] <dekkong> jeremiah: :P
[11:40] <ikonia> remoteCTR2 think 64bit by default is 32gig
[11:41] <jeremiah> dekkong: He lives in California!
[11:41] <BlueEagle> xjohnthomasx2: You may need to boot into recovery mode. Press ESC to get the grub menu when booting.
[11:41] <remoteCTR2> ikonia: nice thanks
[11:41] <Scorpion_on> всем привет)
[11:41] <BlueEagle> xjohnthomasx2: then chmod and chown the files to their appropriate modes and owners.
[11:41] <BlueEagle> !ru Scorpion_on
[11:41] <ubottu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ru scorpion_on
[11:41] <dekkong> jeremiah: yeah i know
[11:41] <Scorpion_on> ua!
[11:41] <BlueEagle> !ru | Scorpion_on

[11:41] <remoteCTR2> ikonia: as we are already speaking; you dont happen to recall what that project was called that enabled those usb tongles that log you automatically once you move away from the computer more then 2m...?
[11:41] <zherlock> How do I make rsync create the directory structure when rsyncing i.e. /folder/subfolder/file to / and wanted result is rsync creating /folder/subfolder at dest ?
[11:42] <zherlock> How do I make rsync create the directory structure when rsyncing i.e. /folder/subfolder/file to / and wanted result is rsync creating /folder/subfolder at dest ?
[11:42] <neil> limewire and frostwire suck cunt
[11:42] <neil> wat else can i use
[11:42] <xjohnthomasx2> BlueEagle, what are their "appropriate" modes and owners???? im a noob.. i dont know what you mean
[11:42] <zherlock> sory for repeat.
[11:42] <xjohnthomasx2> BlueEagle, must be more specific
[11:42] <dekkong> neil: dc++ ?
[11:42] <jeremiah> zherlock: You might want to set up the dir with tar first
[11:42] <remoteCTR2> rofl
[11:42] <xjohnthomasx2> BlueEagle, i'm in the recov mode... now what???
[11:42] <BlueEagle> xjohnthomasx2: chown -R <username>:<username> /home/<username>
[11:43] <BlueEagle> xjohnthomasx2: where <username> is the username who you defined during install.
[11:43] <j_zhang> voland, it solved, i tried to use automatic search this time, and use phone mode in my phone instead of file transfer
[11:43] <j_zhang> and it works
[11:43] <jeremiah> zherlock: Tar up the dir, which preserves create times, directory layout, etc. and then use rsync once you have it set up.
[11:43] <j_zhang> thanks a lot, anyway
[11:43] <xjohnthomasx2> BlueEagle, it was an upgrade from hardy to intrepid.. there's really only me, the main admin user..
[11:43] <BlueEagle> xjohnthomasx2: Then <username> would perhaps be xjohnthomasx2
[11:43] <beli> zherlock: foo and foo/   are both directories for rsync, but the handling is different...read the manual and take care about the trailing slash
[11:43] <xjohnthomasx2> BlueEagle, p.s what's this "mounted 27 times without check, check forced.. " thing????
[11:44] <neil> what can i use other than frostwire
[11:44] <BlueEagle> xjohnthomasx2: You can only mount an ext2/3 filesystem so many times before linux insists on checking drive integrity.
[11:44] <steveccc> hi all - is there anyone in the uk who can recommend a good site for free wifi hotspot listings
[11:44] <jeremiah> BlueEagle: Are you sure it is linux and not just Ubuntu?
[11:44] <jeremiah> I don't see that on debian for example.
[11:44] <dekkong> neil: why dont you just use dc++?
[11:44] <neil> wats tha
[11:44] <neil> that*
[11:45] <syymi> dekkong:  Oh boy, can't you figure it out yourself?
[11:45] <j_zhang> voland, thank you
[11:45] <zetheroo> can I install KDE4 in Ubuntu?
[11:45] <zetheroo> ?
[11:45] <dekkong> syymi: tbh I cant
[11:45] <chfwiggum> neil https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/internet/C/internet-otherapps.html
[11:45] <rampageoberon> zetheroo: sudo aptitude install kubuntu-desktop
[11:45] <xjohnthomasx2> BlueEagle, is there anyway for me to skip this check? It will take a longggggggg time -- it's a gigantic drive... ? should i skip it? is it dangerous?
[11:45] <neil> thank you
[11:45] <syymi> dekkong:  Well, that's your problem and not mine
[11:46] <jeremiah> xjohnthomasx2: Skipping it just means that you do not check your filesystem with fsck.
[11:46] <zetheroo> rampageoberon  : will that be KDE4 and not 3.5?
[11:46] <dekkong> syymi: not really i never had a problem so
[11:46] <j_zhang> i gtg
[11:46] <j_zhang> bye all
[11:46] <BlueEagle> xjohnthomasx2: man tune2fs
[11:46] <beli> xjohnthomasx2: depends on how important the data on the drive is for you.....if you have well backups...you may not need to do the check ;)
[11:46] <syymi> dekkong: Would you ever like to had a problem so? Maybe it doesn't bother you
[11:46] <xjohnthomasx2> BlueEagle, is there some reason it's 27 times???
[11:46] <BlueEagle> xjohnthomasx2: I recomend you don't check less than every 50 mounts.
[11:47] <thomasit1> How do I know if g++ is already installed in my laptop?
[11:47] <jeremiah> which g++
[11:47] <beli> xjohnthomasx2: you can skip it now and let it be done later when you dont need your computer for work
[11:47] <BlueEagle> xjohnthomasx2: I am guessing that the bigger the drive, the more probable is a file corruption and the more frequent it wants to chekc it.
[11:47] <rampageoberon> zetheroo: it will be the latest one in the repository
[11:47] <BlueEagle> check*
[11:47] <thomasit1> the one that i can use to write c++ codes
[11:47] <jeremiah> g++ is a compiler for C++
[11:47] <xjohnthomasx2> BlueEagle, no matter what, it's almost always been 27 times... as the default frequency...
[11:47] <dekkong> syymi: my only problem atm is your arrogance
[11:47] <xjohnthomasx2> beli, how do i skip it? do i press esc or something?
[11:47] <Kartagis> !lamp
[11:47] <ubottu> LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+)
[11:48] <xjohnthomasx2> beli,  i really dont think the data is corrupted..
[11:48] <Bert_2> !bs | Bert_2
[11:48] <ubottu> Sorry, I don't know anything about bs
[11:48] <xjohnthomasx2> beli, do you know why intrepid has the system beep go nuts on boot up at times, btw???
[11:48] <jeremiah> LAMP is really Linux,Apache,Mysql,Perl
[11:48] <Bert_2> jeremiah: or PHP
[11:48] <jeremiah> or python
[11:48] <Bert_2> jeremiah: indd
[11:48] <jeremiah> :)
[11:49] <jjulian> jim_p
[11:49] <beli> xjohnthomasx2: nope sorry, i am a linux user not deep into ubuntu, just using ubuntu for desktop since a few months...never tried intrepid so far
[11:49] <thomasit1> So I need to have an IDE first, like eclipse? And then I'll write my codes there and tell eclipse to use g++ to compile my c++?
[11:49] <Bert_2> say, does anyone know in which channel the bosnian ubuntu group is, cause some bosnian group is talking about my website and I think they're attacking me, so I need a translator
[11:49] <krisw> Hi guys, does anyone have experience with running multiple monitors under Hardy? I have three screens hooked up and working fine, but running any intensive JavaScript in either FireFox or Opera is extremely sluggish but is very fast on a single monitor set-up - Ideas?
[11:50] <jeremiah> Bert_2: How do you know they are bosnian and not just a Zombie?
[11:50] <BlueEagle> xjohnthomasx2: look up the tune2fs manual to change it.
[11:50] <jeremiah> Bert_2: Can you describe the attack? And which web server you are using?
[11:50] <Bert_2> jeremiah: I was googling my site and found a forum that was talking about me, but I can't find out what they're up to (I haven't seen any attacks in the logs yet but I want to eb sure)
[11:50] <syymi> defDfloyd: You cannot be serious!
[11:51] <xjohnthomasx2> BlueEagle, k
[11:51] <jeremiah> Bert_2: I think Google has a translation tool
[11:51] <Bert_2> krisw: I run nvidia twinview without a problem
[11:51] <jeremiah> Babel fish or something.
[11:51] <defDfloyd> syymi: i am always ;P
[11:51] <Bert_2> jeremiah: I tried it (using ubiquity) but it can't understand some of the key words of the text
[11:51] <syymi> Do you enjoy being always?
[11:52] <syymi> defDfloyd: Do you enjoy being always?
[11:52] <jeremiah> Bert_2: Ah. :/
[11:52] <krisw> Bert_2: Hmmm, I'm running Xinerama - I'll take a look at TwinView, cheers
[11:52] <BlueEagle> xjohnthomasx2: as for chmod try looking up http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2005-March/080446.html to set the permissions for all your files and directory.
[11:52] <defDfloyd> symons: i always enjoy being serious :D
[11:52] <BlueEagle> xjohnthomasx2: CAUTION: Those find . commands need to be run from inside the home-directory you want to change and NOT FROM /
[11:53] <defDfloyd> oops sorry symons, i ment syymi
[11:53] <syymi> defDfloyd: It is hard to support a simple generalization like that
[11:53] <xjohnthomasx2> BlueEagle, huh???? im confused..
[11:54] <defDfloyd> syymi: as in all generalizations i'm afraid ;P
[11:54] <syymi> deever: You sure are afraid, from what I have seen
[11:54] <jeremiah> Does anyone know if there are any known issues with the gpg keys and current intrepid repos?
[11:54] <jeremiah> I am getting warnings from aptitude when I run safe-update
[11:55] <BlueEagle> xjohnthomasx2: Why?
[11:55] <xjohnthomasx2>  BlueEagle, ok, im in the rec o root shell prompt
[11:55] <jeremiah> And I would rather not be rooted.
[11:55] <xjohnthomasx2> BlueEagle, how do i fix the permissions? should i do the -R thing you told me before?
[11:55] <xjohnthomasx2> BlueEagle, or should i only do that from within the user folder?
[11:55] <paul68> !intrepid | jeremiah
[11:55] <ubottu> jeremiah: Intrepid Ibex is the code name for Ubuntu 8.10, due October 30th, 2008 - Warning lots of broken software between now and October 30th! - Use #ubuntu+1 for support, *NOT* #ubuntu
[11:55] <syymi> defDfloyd: Yawn, how boring! Please look for another place to spread your madness. Good bye!
[11:55] <BlueEagle> xjohnthomasx2: You want to chown and chmod. The chown changes the owner and chmod changes the permission to something sane.
[11:56] <xjohnthomasx2> BlueEagle, so what commands do i do to fix the home folder and the .dmrc file?
[11:56] <halycon> I am unable to get my Nokia phone to be detected through bluetooth using Ubuntu Hardy I have tried doing a scan with hcitool and it doesnt detect anything and there are bluetooth processes that appear to be running and I have gone through soem of the documents that I have found on the internet and still am not able to get it working, does anyone have any other things I could try?
[11:56] <defDfloyd> syymi: sleep tight :P
[11:56] <jeremiah> paul68: Thanks!
[11:56] <neil> where do i chat
[11:56] <chfwiggum> defDfloyd: please dont leave. ure all fun!
[11:56] <syymi> defDfloyd:  ...
[11:56] <paul68> jeremiah: no problem
[11:57] <manir> hi there
[11:57] <neil> what channel do i chat
[11:57] <waan> Is it possible to change the volume by touchpad scrolling? I don't use horizontal scroll and though I could make use of it.
[11:57] <jeremiah> neil: #ubuntu
[11:57] <neil> is this it
[11:58] <BlueEagle> xjohnthomasx2: chown -R username:username /home/username && cd /home/username && find . -type d -exec chmod u=rwx {} && find . -type f -exec chmod u=rw
[11:58] <neil> where u guys from
[11:58] <jeremiah> neil: This is the famous #ubuntu on IRC.FREENODE.NET!
[11:58] <jeremiah> yay
[11:58] <BlueEagle> xjohnthomasx2: BEFORE you do that look up `man chown` and `man chmod` and `man find` so you UNSERSTAND what those commands do
[11:58] <BlueEagle> s/UNSERSTAND/UNDERSTAND/
[11:59] <china99> /DCC CHAT TRGGNHHGGBBBNNNNDRTGGSRGHHJ
[11:59] <Aren> anybody know where I can find netinet.h in ubuntu?
[11:59] <waan> Aren: find / -name netinit.h
[11:59] <chfwiggum> Aren: locate netinet.h
[11:59] <jeremiah> xjohnthomasx2: Yes, BlueEagle is giving good advice. If you use those tools wrongly you can screw up your system.
[12:00] <chfwiggum> but i bet its in /usr/lib
[12:00] <chfwiggum> :)
[12:00] <Aren> locate and find don't exist
[12:00] <Aren> since it's not installed
[12:00] <Aren> netinet.h that is
[12:00] <neil> is this the chating channel
[12:00] <jeremiah> Aren: find is not on you computer?
[12:00] <xjohnthomasx2> jeremiah, my system already won't boot into my user session!
[12:00] <waan> Aren: what kind of system are you running, they are basic shell functions
=== Ujjwol is now known as Linus
[12:00] <Aren> find and locate are there, but netinet.h is not
[12:00] <xjohnthomasx2> BlueEagle, i did that command.. it's not completing, though! it's just blinking cursor, as though the operation hasn't ifnished!!
[12:00] <Aren> i.e, locate netinet.h results to nothing
[12:01] <Aren> and same goes for find operation
[12:01] <xjohnthomasx2> jeremiah, that command is just hanging???!!!
[12:01] <waan> then it's not there
=== Abracadabra is now known as DragonBoulz
[12:01] <xjohnthomasx2> jeremiah, and now it says "find: missing argument to '-exec'???
[12:02] <xjohnthomasx2> jeremiah, did the second set need a {} too????
=== DragonBoulz is now known as AbracadabraBoulz
[12:03] <xjohnthomasx2> jeremiah, are you there???
=== AbracadabraBoulz is now known as Abracadabra
[12:04] <jeremiah> xjohnthomasx2: Did you do this: find / -name netinst.h -exec grep thing {} \;
=== maek is now known as maek0
[12:04] <xjohnthomasx2> jeremiah, i did BlueEagle's command....
[12:04] <jeremiah> xjohnthomasx2: You have to put brackets at the end and escape a semi-colon
[12:04] <xjohnthomasx2> chown -R username:username /home/username && cd /home/username && find . -type d -exec chmod u=rwx {} && find . -type f -exec chmod u=rw
[12:04] <jeremiah> xjohnthomasx2: It is an ancient UNIX syntax and not nice.
[12:04] <xjohnthomasx2> jeremiah, how do i change that to work properly???
[12:05] <jeremiah> Hmm, let me test it. . .
[12:05] <xjohnthomasx2> jeremiah, im completely lostt... and a transitioning mswindows user.. haha. :-?
[12:05] <neil> hi
[12:05] <BlueEagle> ccooke: You need to substitute 'username' with the name of the user that has the wrong permissions.
[12:05] <jeremiah> xjohnthomasx2: No big deal, everyone starts somewhere. :)
[12:05] <KenBW2> is there a gnome panel applet that works like deskbar-applet, but for a terminal?
[12:05] <BlueEagle> ccooke: happy tab-complete day.
[12:05] <xjohnthomasx2> jeremiah, so how do i change that command there to work properly? what was wrong with BlueEAgle's that gave me that error???
[12:05] <BlueEagle> xjohnthomasx2: You need to substitute 'username' with the name of the user that has the wrong permissions.
[12:05] <neil> who here likes frostwire
[12:06] <chfwiggum> !ot | neil
[12:06] <ubottu> neil: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[12:06] <xjohnthomasx2> BlueEagle, i got that much... but i got "find missing arg.. to exec"..???
[12:06] <jeremiah> xjohnthomasx2: BlueEagle - I think you forgot to put a \; after {}
[12:06] <neil> soo
[12:06] <BlueEagle> jeremiah: Ahh, ofcourse.
[12:06] <xjohnthomasx2> ????
[12:06] <jeremiah> Which is to say an escaped semi-colon after the brackets
[12:06] <jeremiah> xjohnthomasx2: It is an ancient UNIX syntax and not nice.
[12:07] <xjohnthomasx2> jeremiah, you said that.. right.. but what is the CORRECT command i should be using in total??? can you type what i should type?
[12:07] <BlueEagle> xjohnthomasx2: If you read and understand the manual pages I directed you to before you should be able to figure it out. I have high hopes for you.
[12:07] <sectrix> hi there, i have a php (fork) problem only under ubuntu. any php experts here
[12:07] <neil> i speak no english
[12:07] <xjohnthomasx2> BlueEagle, i will study it and understand it after it works.. right nwo im under the rush :-@
[12:07] <KenBW2> is there a gnome panel applet where you type a command in and it drops down a mini terminal with the output? kinda like deskbar applet
[12:08] <jeremiah> xjohnthomasx2: Do you know your username? If not do `id`
[12:08] <BlueEagle> xjohnthomasx2: Be CAREFUL to run commands you do not understand!! You may whipe your system.
[12:08] <jeremiah> and report what it says
[12:08] <xjohnthomasx2> BlueEagle, im guessing a ; after the first {}, and then we also need a {} and ; after the second one?
[12:08] <neil> where u guys from
[12:08] <ikonia> neil please join #ubuntu-offtopic for random talk/discussion
[12:08] <jiangwei> kenbw2  ： tilda
[12:08] <ikonia> neil: you have been asked multiple times now, and your atitude in pm will not be tollerated
[12:08] <xjohnthomasx2> yes, BlueEagle i understand, but changing permissions won't wipe it.. just will make me have to re-do all permissions again.. im not using any rm command! : p
[12:08] <jeremiah> xjohnthomasx2: Yes, but _escape_ the semi-colon with \
[12:08] <ikonia> neil: please join #ubuntu-offtopic for offtopic disscussion
[12:08] <xjohnthomasx2> jeremiah, i dont know what you mean
[12:08] <neil> ok matt
[12:09] <xjohnthomasx2> chown -R username:username /home/username && cd /home/username && find . -type d -exec chmod u=rwx {} && find . -type f -exec chmod u=rw
[12:09] <xjohnthomasx2> jeremiah, what should i change in there?
[12:09] <ikonia> neil: thank you
[12:09] <jeremiah> xjohnthomasx2: okay, you have "{}" on the command line, right?
[12:09] <waan> Is it possible to change the volume by using the touchpad scroll?
[12:09] <xjohnthomasx2> jeremiah, i have blank root cli
[12:09] <jeremiah> xjohnthomasx2: Right after that, on the command line, type: " \; "
[12:09] <neil> no worries mate
[12:09] <jeremiah> without the quotes
[12:09] <sectrix> again: ANY PHP EXPERTS HERE? I'VE A PROCESS FORK PROBLEM ONLY UNDER UBUNTU!
[12:10] <jeremiah> sectrix: STOP SHOUTING.
[12:10] <BlueEagle> !caps
[12:10] <ubottu> PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too.
[12:10] <ikonia> sectrix: calm down
[12:10] <ikonia> sectrix: shouting puts you to the back of the queue
[12:10] <waan> sectrix: ask in #php
[12:10] <sectrix> ok, sorry
[12:10] <xjohnthomasx2> jeremiah, i typed all that and put a \; on the very end.. but still "find missing argumen tot exec"...
[12:10] <xjohnthomasx2> jeremiah, i dont know what to do to fix it..?
[12:10] <jeremiah> You need to put the \; after every {}
[12:10] <BlueEagle> waan: He sais it's ubuntu only. That makes it on-topic (probably)
[12:10] <jeremiah> so you should have one at the end and another in the middle(ish)
[12:10] <sectrix> it is a ubuntu topic!
[12:11] <jeremiah> chown -R username:username /home/username && cd /home/username && find . -type d -exec chmod u=rwx {} && find . -type f -exec chmod u=rw
[12:11] <sectrix> no problems with same setup under suse
[12:11] <jeremiah> chown -R username:username /home/username && cd /home/username && find . -type d -exec chmod u=rwx {} --> \; <-- && find . -type f -exec chmod u=rw
[12:11] <jeremiah> SuSE != Ubuntu
[12:11] <sectrix> yo
[12:11] <sectrix> i know
[12:11] <sectrix> thats what i saidf
[12:11] <xjohnthomasx2> jeremiah, is there a space there????
[12:11] <sectrix> -f
[12:11] <jeremiah> xjohnthomasx2: Yep.
[12:12] <jeremiah> chown -R username:username /home/username && cd /home/username && find . -type d -exec chmod u=rwx {} \; && find . -type f -exec chmod u=rw {} \;
[12:12] <jeremiah> try that ^^
[12:12] <xjohnthomasx2> jeremiah, it still effed up.. "find missing arg to -exec"...????
[12:12] <xjohnthomasx2> ahhhh
[12:12] <xjohnthomasx2> another set? ok.. let me see
[12:12] <BlueEagle> xjohnthomasx2: chown -R username:username /home/username && cd /home/username && find . -type d -exec chmod u=rwx {} \; && find . -type f -exec chmod u=rw {} \;
[12:12] <jeremiah> xjohnthomasx2: Okay, we'll do them one by one.
[12:13] <BlueEagle> xjohnthomasx2: Now go read manual pages!
[12:13] <jeremiah> chown -R username:username /home/username
[12:13] <sectrix> ok, no php exterts here ... bye
[12:13] <BlueEagle> sectrix: There is.
[12:13] <BlueEagle> sectrix: But your shouting has put you in the back of the queue. I'll be with you shortly.
[12:13] <jeremiah> Next; find . -type d -exec chmod u=rwx {} \;
[12:13] <xjohnthomasx2> BlueEagle, i will... IF IT WORKS : p
[12:13] <sectrix> BlueEagle: are you a php expert?
[12:13] <jeremiah> Next; find . -type f -exec chmod u=rw {} \;
[12:14] <xjohnthomasx2> BlueEagle, it's not working.... it says try chmod --help.. missing operand.. asd;lkfjas;dlfkj
[12:14] <BlueEagle> sectrix: Meanwhile be a good boy and pastebin a short example of the code you're having trouble with so I can verify the problem.
[12:14] <scifiguy951> the navigation bar on my firefox is not working, does anyone know how to fix it?
[12:14] <histo> xjohnthomasx2: you need chmod u+rw
[12:14] <histo> xjohnthomasx2: the problem is the = sign
[12:14] <jeremiah> histo: yep, good catch.
[12:14] <Xavura> Does GEdit support regex in search/replace
[12:14] <Xavura> or can it
[12:14] <Xavura> doesn't seem so
[12:14] <Xavura> but is there a plug-in or something
[12:15] <jeremiah> Xavura: emacs does :} But that does not really answer your question.
[12:15] <BlueEagle> xjohnthomasx2: You've got files called asd, lkfjas and dlfkj?
[12:15] <xjohnthomasx2> histo, do i need that on the chmod u=rwx too???
[12:15] <Xavura> jeremiah: I've tried every editor in existence, they all suck except GEdit in my humble opinion
[12:15] <xjohnthomasx2> or just the u=rw one??
[12:15] <waan> scifiguy951: in what way isn't it working?

In an ipod nano 3G (fatty) same history for audio (music, instead of music>podcast), and video podcast are sent to Videos>Movies, instead of podcast (this isnt as annoying as the audio one, but still annoying), anyone has some input about it?
[12:16] <scifiguy951> i dont know what to do i have uninstalled and reinstalled firefox also and that has not worked either
[12:16] <BlueEagle> histo: That will add read and write for the user, but not remove any (potential) read and write and execute from the group and others.

[12:20] <xjohnthomasx2> jeremiah, i mean i couldnt log in from the welcome screen.. i type login and pass.. and then i get a bunch of errors.. that sanity checks go awry.. and the homep ermissions weren't accessible..
[12:20] <neil> get me on ubuntu off topic
[12:20] <scifiguy951> the navigation bar on my firefox is not working, how do i fix it?
[12:20] <scuser> jeremiah: jfs, but I have no intention to change the fs type I only need to change the place of cache
[12:20] <Ddorda> huh? i think you didn't understand what i mean
[12:21] <scifiguy951> i cant go back
[12:21] <scifiguy951>  =\
=== fl0w_ is now known as fl0w
[12:21] <jeremiah> scuser: Well the cache message says you have to use ext2 or ext3 for file system type for the cache . . .
[12:21] <neil> how do i get to offtopic
[12:21] <histo> xjohnthomasx2: are all the files in ~ messed up as well?
[12:21] <milind>  can anyone tell me if i can use same virtual machine(virtualbox) on different logins on ubuntu?
[12:21] <xjohnthomasx2> histo, ok, shoul di try rebooting and seeing if i get all permissions back now and can log in again???
[12:21] <debasys> BlueEagle: ok so i added nautilus command to startups, so next time i should see my drives auto-showing/mounting
[12:21] <jeremiah> xjohnthomasx2: It suggests some thing else might be wrong.
[12:21] <Ddorda> i've changed the language back to english, and then the ubuntu changed the desktop folder to the home folder. how do i change it back to "Desktop"?
[12:21] <jeremiah> xjohnthomasx2: Is your user name in /etc/passwd?
[12:22] <chfwiggum> neil: type /join ubuntu-offtopic
[12:22] <ari_stress> good evening guys :) wazzup
[12:22] <BlueEagle> debasys: Hopefully, yes.
[12:22] <scuser> jeremiah: I can read it, but as I told you I want to change the place of the cache not it's type, I have another partition which is ext3
[12:22] <xjohnthomasx2> histo, i dont know.. i just did sudo chmod 700 /home/username   ... then sudo chmod 600 /home/username/.dmrc.. thinking that would solve things, as recommended by a bulltein board.. and then this happened.. and i havent been able to log in to my session...
[12:22] <jeremiah> scuser: What does your partition table look like? Did you look at parted?
[12:22] <debasys> BlueEagle: :)
[12:22] <xjohnthomasx2> jeremiah, i dont know???
[12:23] <chfwiggum> ari_stress: aye, must be an aussie whose day is already done :)
[12:23] <jeremiah> xjohnthomasx2: do this: grep username /etc/passwd
[12:23] <histo> xjohnthomasx2: well the problem is with some of your commands are not right. Can I see the first one you are trying to run.
[12:23] <ari_stress> chfwiggum: close.. i'm in south east asia, 19:23
[12:23] <xjohnthomasx2> grep username etc passwd produced nothing
[12:23] <scuser> jeremiah: ok I found it, just edit cacheinfo from /etc/openafs there you can change it ;)
[12:23] <jeremiah> scuser: Aha!
[12:23] <ari_stress> guys, anyone know nice background picture for openoffice.org presentation?
[12:24] <BlueEagle> !ot | ari_stress
[12:24] <xjohnthomasx2> histo, i dont know what they are.. those were the only two i did.. and i was trying to fix the "ignoring .dmrc" error i kept getting.. and it said to make sure my home folder permissions were rightly set.. and then it said to make sure permissions on that file were proper too..
[12:24] <ubottu> ari_stress: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[12:24] <jeremiah> xjohnthomasx2: do this: "grep username /etc/passwd" <-- you need to have the slashes.
[12:24] <histo> xjohnthomasx2: no the find commands you guys were trying to use.
[12:24] <xjohnthomasx2> jeremiah, yeah i used the slahes.. nothing.. no result..
[12:24] <Ddorda> i've changed the language back to english, and then the ubuntu changed the desktop folder to the home folder. how do i change it back to "Desktop"?
[12:24] <Hobbsee> neil: you behave, and don't troll?
[12:24] <ari_stress> sorry BlueEagle :D
[12:24] <jeremiah> xjohnthomasx2: So your username is not in /etc/passwd. Problem.
[12:24] <BlueEagle> ari_stress: No worries. :)
[12:24] <jeremiah> xjohnthomasx2: Are you running as root.
[12:24] <jeremiah> ?
[12:24] <ari_stress> guys, anyone know nice background picture for openoffice.org presentation in ubuntu? :D
[12:25] <xjohnthomasx2> jeremiah, yeah, it was the recovery console!!!
[12:25] <jeremiah> ah
[12:26] <scifiguy951> how do i fix my navigation bar?
[12:26] <scifiguy951> ?
[12:26] <jeremiah> xjohnthomasx2: You may want to see what `useradd` says
[12:26] <jeremiah> xjohnthomasx2: By using it like this: `useradd username` wher username is your user.
[12:26] <histo>  chown -R username:username /home/username && cd

[12:27] <chell> hello everyone I've got a problem setting up 5.1 sound: I've unmuted the "Surround", "Center" and "LFE" channels in the gnome volume control settings but when I play a file that has AC3 5.1 in totem (codecs are installed) instead of playing the proper audio through the rear channel it plays a copy of the front channels.
[12:27] <BlueEagle> !shout | xjohnthomasx2
[12:27] <ubottu> xjohnthomasx2: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too.
[12:28] <scifiguy951> i need help! please! i really want my navigation bar to work again!!
[12:28] <Ddorda> i've changed the language back to english, and then the ubuntu changed the desktop folder to the home folder. how do i change it back to "Desktop"?
[12:28] <xjohnthomasx2> BlueEagle, is it really so bad to have one line of celebration? geez man : p
[12:28] <chfwiggum> ari_stress: maybe this helps   http://technology.chtsai.org/impress/
[12:28] <BlueEagle> xjohnthomasx2: It is annoying and off-topic and really, really ugly. You look like an 8-year-old tbh.
[12:28] <xjohnthomasx2> BlueEagle, i may not be that far from an eight year old : )
[12:29] <histo> xjohnthomasx2: chown -R username:username /home/username && cd /home/username && find . -type d -exec chmod u=rwx '{}' \; && find . -type f -exec chmod u=rw '{}' \;
[12:29] <xjohnthomasx2> anyway, i was just expressing my gratitude and appreciation
[12:29] <chell> VLC doesn't even show 5.1 in the audio channel option
[12:29] <xjohnthomasx2> histo, i got them to work, yes..
[12:29] <jeremiah> histo: You shouldn
[12:29] <BlueEagle> xjohnthomasx2: Still, you don't have to look it. If you want to continue this discussion you find me in #ubuntu-offtopic
[12:29] <ari_stress> chfwiggum: merci beaucoup :D
[12:29] <jeremiah> histo: You shouldn't need those single quotes.
[12:29] <negge> this is not maybe a 100% Ubuntu-specific question but I'll ask it anyway. We have an Ubuntu web server on our local network, the problem is it cannot be accessed through its hostname, only by its IP address. Do I have to connect it to the domain controller in order to make hostname-based access work?
[12:29] <jeremiah> negge: You have to have the host name in DNS
[12:29] <BlueEagle> sectrix: Still waiting for those pastebin urls.
[12:29] <negge> jeremiah: in the DNS on the AD?
[12:30] <beli> jeremiah: depends on shell used ;)
[12:30] <histo> negge: yes or have a wins server
[12:30] <BlueEagle> sectrix: I won't be around much longer so this is probably your last chance.
[12:30] <jeremiah> beli: Ah, I didn't know that.
[12:30] <jeremiah> negge: By AD you mean Active Directory?
[12:30] <negge> histo: we have one that acts as a DNS server yes, problem is I have no idea how to configure it...
[12:30] <jeremiah> And if so, that sounds like Microsoft
[12:30] <negge> jeremiah: yes
[12:30] <jeremiah> I don't do Windows, sorry.
[12:30] <conic> could always just ad entry to hosts file aswell
[12:30] <negge> it's cool, it's off-topic here anyways
[12:30] <negge> conic: I've thought of that but that's an ugly method...
[12:31] <jeremiah> negge: Putting it in AD should work.
[12:31] <jeremiah> But you didn't hear it from me
[12:31] <histo> negge: ad provides dns based naming
[12:32] <negge> histo: yes but does that mean I have to join the domain?

[12:37] <Ddorda> i've changed the language back to english, and then the ubuntu changed the desktop folder to the home folder. how do i change it back to "Desktop"?
[12:38] <waan> ari_stress: I'm sure there must be something I can add to the touchpad section in xorg, I just haven't found it yet
[12:38] <ari_stress> waan: i dont think it's that simple??!
[12:38] <MichaelSammels> xubuntuuser, you know - if you want to link .o files?
[12:39] <xubuntuuser> MichaelSammels: I'm not able to follow you. You want to link .o files in c?
[12:39] <legend2440> Ddorda: in terminal type    gconf-editor  From the left panel,select apps — nautilus — preferences. In the window on the right side, place a check in the box labeled desktop_is_home_dir.
[12:39] <waan> ari_stress: I have seperate buttons for scrolling, so I was hoping to make them control volume, and still have the touchpad scroll work as usual, but it seems like a pretty difficult task
[12:39] <MichaelSammels> xubuntuuser, I am trying to follow this: http://www.osdever.net/tutorials/pdf/cpp_kernel.pdf

[12:42] <chmac> A friend of mine seems to have borked his install. He's getting bash ls not found errors and other weird stuff
[12:42] <chmac> It seems like parts of his home dir have disappeared
[12:42] <ziroday> chmac: to help him, we will need actual errors
[12:42] <chmac> Is there a howto somewhere on using the "recovery" process?
[12:42] <jrib> chmac: it would be best if he actually joined the channel
[12:42] <ziroday> chmac: if he only messed up his home folder then he could just create a new user and everything should be fine
[12:42] <master_> yes
[12:43] <chmac> ziroday: Yeah, he's managed to log on as another user, but I'm concerned that ls appears to have been deleted
[12:43] <chmac> I'm wondering what other damage has been done
[12:43] <chmac> Ideally, if he can safely check for anything that's "missing" and restore it, I'd do that
[12:43] <sectrix> last try: i have a php5/ubuntu probleme. see http://pastebin.com/m3f001d1

[12:45] <ubottu> nado, please see my private message
[12:45] <malcolm_> hey is ubuntu 64 bit or 32 bit ?
[12:45] <ActionParsnip1> malcolm_: both
[12:45] <jrib> malcolm_: it's either.  You choose one to install
[12:46] <malcolm_> how do you know which one you installed ? i assume its 64 bit ?
[12:46] <ActionParsnip1> malcolm_: is xp 32bit or 64bit...same answer
[12:46] <jrib> FD_F: how did you share it?
[12:46] <nado> jrib: thanks, i'll see if that helps
[12:46] <ActionParsnip1> malcolm_: depeds which iso you downloaded or ordered
[12:46] <jrib> malcolm_: depends on the iso you downloaded.  You can check with 'uname -m'
[12:46] <FD_F> jrib: right click sharing options
[12:46] <ActionParsnip1> malcolm_: uname -a will show you
[12:47] <jrib> FD_F: then you are using samba.  For me, they just show up when I click on Network Servers in nautilus.  Does that work for you?
[12:47] <ActionParsnip1> malcolm_: look for X86_64 == 64bit

[12:48] <malcolm_> which is better 32 bit or 64 bit ?
[12:48] <ActionParsnip1> malcolm_: depends what the system is for
[12:48] <jrib> FD_F: did you get errors when you shared the folder?
[12:48] <histo> !better | malcolm_
[12:48] <ubottu> malcolm_: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots.
[12:48] <histo> malcolm_: just install 32bit
[12:48] <nado> jrib: the link you sent me contains info about chmod, but i need to know how the line in /etc/fstab should look if i want the partition to be used by not only root but also other users
[12:48] <FD_F> jrib : i didnt get any errors
[12:49] <xubuntuuser> Michael Sammels: ld is a part of gcc i think / google find some pages / search for your distribution
[12:50] <ActionParsnip1> malcolm_: 32bit has better plugin support for internet stuffs and windows games (in my experience) have been less glitchy
[12:50] <stdin> !64bit | malcolm_
[12:50] <ubottu> malcolm_: AMD64 and EMT64 are fully supported architectures on Ubuntu. See http://tinyurl.com/23ewcf for more information.
[12:50] <ActionParsnip1> malcolm_: 64bit is great for servers if you have a 64bit chip
[12:50] <malcolm_> thanks
[12:50] <FD_F> jrib: you have an alternative share option ?
[12:50] <ActionParsnip1> malcolm_: id do some research as to to what 64bit actually achieves
[12:51] <ActionParsnip1> malcolm_: but a 64bit chip can run a 32bit OS and a 64bit OS can run 32bit apps
[12:51] <nado> /dev/sda1 /mnt/backup ext2 defaults,users,rw 0 0
[12:51] <nado> this should work, or not?

[12:55] <jrib> mnabil_work: then for the proper deb-src line, replace "hardy" with "intrepid" and then apt-get source
[12:55] <ziroday> sorush20: if you mean 64bit, then yes
[12:55] <ActionParsnip1> rw: sudo mv /etc/network/interfaces /etc/network/interfaces_old
[12:55] <ActionParsnip1> rw: then reboot
[12:56] <mnabil_work> jrib, ah , thanks
[12:56] <ziroday> mnabil_work: you could also find the package from packages.ubuntu.com and get the source file there
[12:56] <ActionParsnip1> rw: this will remove all settings and on reboot you will be able to revonfigure your connection
[12:56] <rw> ActionParsnip1: done, hope it works.
[12:56] <ActionParsnip1> rw: the mv command allows you to keep the old config just in case
[12:56] <mnabil_work> ziroday, thanks
[12:57] <ActionParsnip1> rw: only delete when you are happy with the new
[12:57] <ActionParsnip1> rw: use this in ALL times you remove old settings and you'll have less problems
[12:58] <w0ls0n> good morning all. I have created a new user for my desktop. How do I grant that user administrative rights?
[12:58] <ActionParsnip1> w0ls0n: add them to the Admin group

[12:59] <w0ls0n> when I click unlock, nothing happens
[12:59] <ziroday> w0ls0n: a dialog box should appear asking for your password
[12:59] <sorush20> no I don;'t have linux 64bit but I do have amd cpu and i was wondering if there were any specif builds for those?
[13:00] <w0ls0n> can I just edit /etc/groups ?
[13:00] <ziroday> w0ls0n: you can if you want, you will also need to edit /etc/sudoers but that can be dangerous
[13:00] <ActionParsnip1> sorush20: the 64bit ubuntu will use it well, you could always compile but you'd make a 64bit kernel

[13:01] <w0ls0n> thanks
[13:01] <ziroday> w0ls0n: so you're asking to disable sudo, and basically have a root user?
[13:01] <ActionParsnip1> w0ls0n: sudo makes your system more secure
[13:01] <w0ls0n> no not disable sudo
[13:01] <w0ls0n> as I just said, it's just one user. me
[13:01] <w0ls0n> I'm using it as my backup box
[13:01] <jrib> w0ls0n: what exactly do you dislike about sudo that you want to change?
[13:02] <ActionParsnip1> w0ls0n: if you run groups as a user who can sudo you will be able to see what groups they re in

[13:08] <ActionParsnip1> error404notfound: is that for the OS?
[13:08] <error404notfound> ActionParsnip1: overall, a ubuntu 8.04 LTS server with just apt-proxy... nothing else...
[13:09] <ActionParsnip1> error404notfound: it depends how many debs its gonna hold, are you going to be running an X server?
[13:10] <error404notfound> ActionParsnip1: nope... as I said, plain shell, and apt-proxy, nothing else... Well I would like to have debs expire after a week, coz we do weekly updates...

[13:18] <deever> syymi: ?
[13:18] <ziroday> aguitel: yes, using externel debs/repos that were are not supported by the ubuntu developers

[13:19] <aguitel> ziroday, what repo?
[13:19] <ActionParsnip1> aguitel: does OO 2 not work for you/

=== criminy[zz] is now known as criminy
[13:19] <ActionParsnip1> aguitel: then why are you fixing it?
[13:20] <ziroday> ActionParsnip1: and OOO3 has been released
[13:20] <Tommo-dmc> I've got the ubuntu 8.04 live CD running and an old corrupted windows install hdd as a slave on IDE. I'm trying to mount the drive but it keeps failing, is there any particular way of scouring the data or am I buggered?
[13:20] <aguitel> ActionParsnip1, i like to make upgrades
[13:20] <ActionParsnip1> ziroday: cool, i'll update later
[13:21] <histo> Tommo-dmc: how are you trying to mount it?
[13:21] <Tommo-dmc> histo: right-click mount in nautilus ;)
[13:21] <Cosmo-san> hey guys, for some reason I can't get videos to play on any video player:  VLC, Totem, nor Mplayer.  Well, the video stream plays, but there is no audio in Mplayer or VLC. Totem just chugs along at 1 frame per 5 seconds.  It's not the video, and it's probably not all the players going bad, but any suggestions on what to do next?
[13:21] <sectrix> last try! i've a php/ubuntu question posted here: http://php.pastebin.com/m51a310dd
[13:21] <histo> Tommo-dmc: did you try jsut double clicking in nautilus
[13:22] <ziroday> Cosmo-san: the reason vlc and mplayer have no sound could be due to pulseaudio, close all currently running music playing apps and try again
[13:22] <ActionParsnip1> Tommo-dmc: run sudo fdisk -l to see what partition name it uses
[13:22] <histo> Tommo-dmc: I would try mounting from terminal
[13:22] <Cosmo-san> ok
[13:23] <ActionParsnip1> Tommo-dmc: sudo mkdir /media/disk0 && sudo mount /dev/<partition name> /media/disk0 -t ntfs
[13:24] <aguitel> ActionParsnip1, i heard that openoffice 3.0 you can create pdf documents
[13:24] <ActionParsnip1> Tommo-dmc: replace <partition name> with what fdisk -l show you the partition name is
[13:24] <ActionParsnip1> aguitel: you could do that ages ago, you have a pdf printer
[13:25] <aguitel> ActionParsnip1, how modify a pdf document ?
[13:25] <ActionParsnip1> !pdfedit | aguitel
[13:25] <ubottu> Sorry, I don't know anything about pdfedit
[13:25] <ActionParsnip1> !info pdfedit | aguitel
[13:25] <ubottu> aguitel: pdfedit (source: pdfedit): Editor for manipulating PDF documents. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.3.2-5ubuntu2 (hardy), package size 2901 kB, installed size 8596 kB
[13:25] <Tommo-dmc> ActionParsnip1: It says Mount is denied because NTFS is marked to be in use. It is a windows install OS (other partition isn't boot drive but same error) and it did shut down uncleanly, i. failed hdd that i never reinstalled windows on
[13:26] <ActionParsnip1> Tommo-dmc: does it give an output about -force?
[13:26] <tavish> hi
[13:26] <jvargas> hi
[13:27] <Tommo-dmc> ActionParsnip1: Yeah it does, it says if drive isn't a windows drive you can -force it. Will it risk the data if it IS a windows drive and I force it, or is it just a 'warranty' thing in that it could go wrong but still within intended paramaters?
[13:27] <jvargas> i have problems with my vidoe card and ubuntu when using 1440x900 screen resolution.
[13:27] <Tommo-dmc> parameters*
[13:27] <ActionParsnip1> Tommo-dmc: add '-o force' to the end of the command (without the 's)
[13:27] <jvargas> although it looks ok, it is just a little bit fat than how it should be
[13:27] <jvargas> so images and videos looks distorted, just a bit.
[13:27] <jvargas> how do I fix that ?
[13:27] <Tiki> salut
[13:28] <ziroday> jvargas: what video card?
[13:28] <tavish> i am unable to mount my pen drive in ubuntu, it says  mount point cant contain newline or G_dir_seperator
[13:28] <tavish> i need some files off it urgently
[13:29] <COBHC> hiho
[13:29] <ActionParsnip1> tavish: what mount point are you trying to mount to?
[13:29] <tavish> its a pen drive formatted in fat32
[13:29] <ActionParsnip1> tavish: what command are you using to mount it
[13:29] <Tommo-dmc> ActionParsnip1: That worked. Thank you :)
[13:30] <ActionParsnip1> Tommo-dmc: np, cli gives you power!!
[13:30] <tavish> i just double click it or mount it from rightclick menu

[13:32] <MRFriend> how do i search all files for a word ?
[13:32] <ca> steam  and ubuntu is that working fine?`
[13:32] <chmac> If /bin/ls has been deleted, any easy way to get it back?
[13:32] <COBHC> yes
[13:32] <jrib> jjulian: depends on the editor
[13:32] <tavish> i checked in partition manager. its   dev/sdb/
[13:32] <ziroday> jjulian: which text editor?
[13:32] <jrib> MRFriend: grep with some options
[13:33] <jjulian> geany
[13:33] <jvargas> ziroday: yeah, it says i have some kind of copyright drivers
[13:33] <jvargas> or sth like that
[13:33] <ActionParsnip1> tavish: sudo mkdir /media/stick; sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/stick -t vfat -o rw,user
[13:33] <MRFriend> jrib can you give me an example i really want to search all files under /
[13:33] <ziroday> jvargas: okay thats fine, can you install the package nvidia-settings for me plesae
[13:33] <jrib> jjulian: you have to include that information in your question
[13:33] <jvargas> ziroday: brb
[13:33] <jrib> MRFriend: that would take a really long time.  Why do you want to do this?  grep -R search_term /
[13:33] <ActionParsnip1> MRFriend: do you wanna search for filenames containing a word or within all the files?
[13:33] <jvargas> ziroday: done.
[13:33] <MRFriend> thanks
[13:33] <X-tremAl_Raven> Hi. Can anyone tell me where the /tmp/ physically exists? And how to manage its size?
[13:34] <ca> how about the fps in counter-strike 1.6 on ubuntu?  hardware  p4 3,0 ghz  gfx 6800xt 1 gig memory
[13:34] <jjulian> can somebody tell me what i have to write into a texteditor  (geany) to replace something with a new line? i tried \r\n but that didnt work he just writes \r\n then
[13:34] <ziroday> jvargas: right, open the program up (nvidia-settings) and tell me what resolution its at?
[13:34] <jrib> MRFriend: more likely than not there is a better way to do what you want
[13:34] <chmac> X-tremAl_Raven: /tmp/ is a folder, where it exists depends on where it's mounded, probably on the root partition
[13:34] <chmac> X-tremAl_Raven: When you say "manage its size" what do you mean specifically?
[13:34] <jvargas> ziroday: 1440x900
[13:34] <jvargas> ziroday: resolution is set to auto.
[13:35] <X-tremAl_Raven> <chmac> Where it is mounted by default?
[13:35] <drowner_> so, i ran the XFCE desktop today, and i enjoyed it, was thinking about a permanent switch
[13:35] <drowner_> then it kicked me out to log in
[13:35] <chmac> X-tremAl_Raven: It's not mounted, it's part of the root partition by default
[13:35] <drowner_> back to gnome for me.
[13:35] <ActionParsnip1> jjulian: try echo '\n'
[13:35] <ziroday> jvargas: okay, could you take a screenshot of exactly what the issue is?
[13:35] <ActionParsnip1> drowner_: try fluxbox, you wont be disappointed
[13:35] <X-tremAl_Raven> <chmac> I mean that now I have its size equal to 1Mb. And I didn't find a way to give it more space.
[13:35] <jvargas> ok, it looks just a bit fat, but not so much as with other resolutions, let's see.
[13:35] <jvargas> brb
[13:36] <tavish> it worked, thanx
[13:36] <KaiForce> way off topic, but can anyone recommend a good cable vendor for SAS products?
[13:36] <aldo> aaa
[13:36] <drowner_> ActionParsnip1: can i apt-get the fluxbox desktop? i already have 3
[13:36] <chmac> X-tremAl_Raven: Where do you find that information?
[13:36] <drowner_> i used to have 4, then i gave kde the boot.
[13:36] <tavish> ActionParsnip1: thank you
[13:36] <ActionParsnip1> drowner_: absolutely, then log off, change session type and log on
[13:36] <drowner_> cool
[13:36] <ActionParsnip1> tavish: np man, command line kicks the ass off gui
[13:36] <X-tremAl_Raven> <chmac> In mc: Free space: 988K (96%) of 1024K
[13:37] <drowner_> is flux the one where i click the desktop for a menu, like damnsmall?
[13:37] <X-tremAl_Raven> <chmac> I have an 8.04 upgraded from 7.10
[13:37] <ActionParsnip1> drowner_: yeah, you can run idesk for desktop icons if you want
[13:37] <chmac> X-tremAl_Raven: Where are you getting that from?
=== nn_ is now known as Guest76966
[13:37] <chmac> X-tremAl_Raven: What's "In mc:" ?
[13:37] <jurijo> i get check root = bootarg cat /proc/cmdline
[13:37] <drowner_> ActionParsnip1: stupid question, can you beryl the flux?
[13:37] <jim_p> jjulian: are you there? i just got in the house. sorry for the delay
[13:37] <jjulian> no problem
[13:38] <X-tremAl_Raven> <chmac> There's a default file manager - midnight commander.
[13:38] <drowner_> its a stupid question cause i hate beryl and never run it
[13:38] <drowner_> or compiz, whatever its called now
[13:38] <jurijo> i anyone familiar with menu.lst???? i dunno what to set after "root=" :(
[13:38] <jurijo> i get: "check root = bootarg cat /proc/cmdline
[13:38] <jurijo> "
[13:38] <ActionParsnip1> drowner_: no you'd run beryl instead of fluxox
[13:38] <chmac> X-tremAl_Raven: Ok. So I'm not sure what that means, I'm not familiar with midnight commander
[13:38] <chmac> X-tremAl_Raven: Type this `df -h` and see what it says
[13:38] <ActionParsnip1> drowner_: just like you run compiz / beryl instead of metacity
[13:39] <chmac> X-tremAl_Raven: It will list all your active disks and their usage
[13:39] <myk_robinson> morning. New to Gnome, I need to know how to configure the gnome screenshot application. In KDE, i can take a screenshot at my full resolution of 1280*800 and its about 200kb. In Gnome, the screenshot is smaller dimensions, but about 2MB in filesize. Where are the options?
[13:39] <chmac> X-tremAl_Raven: It sounds like midnight commander is misleading you somehow
[13:39] <drowner_> ActionParsnip1: but you can run compiz and flux together?
[13:39] <drowner_> ActionParsnip1: cause i have the enlightenment desktop (its buggy, imo) and you can't beryl that one
[13:40] <ActionParsnip1> drowner_: you cant beryl metacity either, its a replacement WM
[13:40] <drowner_> oh ok
[13:40] <ziroday`> myk_robinson: its because ksnapshot uses .jpg whilst the gnome snapshot app use .png AFAIK there is no way to change this and the best method is to either convert them after making them or use ksnapshot
[13:40] <X-tremAl_Raven> <chmac> Ok. Can you tell me what space available in your /tmp/ directory?
[13:40] <drowner_> ActionParsnip1: so, hang on
[13:40] <jvargas> ziroday`: watch this screenshot:
[13:40] <jvargas> ziroday`: http://www.flickr.com/photos/jvargas/2941625362/sizes/o/
[13:40] <drowner_> ActionParsnip1: why can i beryl gnome and XFCE?
[13:40] <chmac> X-tremAl_Raven: I don't have /tmp mounted as a separate partition, so I have as much space as there is on my main disk
[13:41] <ActionParsnip1> drowner_: gnome is your desktop but metacity is your window manager
[13:41] <myk_robinson> ziroday: thank you
[13:41] <drowner_> ActionParsnip1: and enlightenment is also a WM?
[13:41] <jvargas> ziroday`: and take a look at images, they look wide.
[13:41] <ActionParsnip1> drowner_: so if you install fluxbox, you can run gnome apps but with the slimline desktop
[13:41] <X-tremAl_Raven> <chmac> Are you ABSOLUTELY sure?
[13:41] <ziroday`> jvargas:does this only happen in firefox?
[13:41] <drowner_> ActionParsnip1: and it won't boot me out like XFCE did earlier? LOL
[13:42] <chmac> X-tremAl_Raven: Yes, what did df -h tell you?
[13:42] <jjulian> jim_p i tried several things like installing new alsa and the 18rc3 version none of them got me sound
[13:42] <X-tremAl_Raven> <chmac> overflow              1.0M   36K  988K   4% /tmp
[13:42] <X-tremAl_Raven> <chmac> And what does df -h tell you?
[13:42] <chmac> X-tremAl_Raven: Then you have /tmp mounted separately
[13:42] <jim_p> jjulian: :O
[13:43] <chmac> X-tremAl_Raven: Try running `mount` and see what output you get
[13:43] <chmac> X-tremAl_Raven: Or try `mount | grep "on /tmp"`
[13:43] <chmac> X-tremAl_Raven: Without the backticks :)
[13:43] <ibrahim_> Hello , are there any msn client supported direct file transfer except Amsn because of ugly interface? Thanks in advance
[13:43] <chmac> X-tremAl_Raven: but with the quotes :)
[13:43] <jjulian> jim_p the only thing i got to work is really crackling low nearly silent sound on one of the outputs via model=acer-aspire and on  soe others worked too
[13:43] <jvargas> ziroday`: not sure, the rest of icons on ubuntu look ok, can't say too bad.
[13:43] <X-tremAl_Raven> <chmac> overflow on /tmp type tmpfs (rw,size=1048576,mode=1777)
[13:43] <drowner_> ibrahim_: pidgin?
[13:44] <ziroday`> jvargas: hmm, because this looks very much like a firefox rendering issue, the icons above look fine
[13:44] <ibrahim_> drowner_ , yes it is the best but unfortunately does not support direct file transfer which rates up to 2-3 kb/s
[13:44] <jim_p> jjulian: what was the original problem again? i think it was not sound
[13:45] <jvargas> ziroday`: but, if I try other lower resolutions, for all of them things look fatter.
[13:45] <chmac> X-tremAl_Raven: Not sure what an overflow mount is I'm afraid :(
[13:45] <jjulian> jim_p the ram but i dont care about it :)
[13:45] <jvargas> ziroday`: so, 1440x900 is the only one that looks a bit better.
[13:45] <chmac> X-tremAl_Raven: Maybe somebody else can help. I'm pretty sure the default is not to mount /tmp separately though
[13:45] <ThePandemic82> how long does a internal hard drive usually last?  in years
[13:45] <jim_p> jjulian: ok. so what does lspci say?
[13:45] <danbh_intrepid> chmac: mount /tmp?  where do you want it mounted?
[13:45] <X-tremAl_Raven> <chmac> All was set by default. Nobody has touched it.
[13:45] <ziroday`> jvargas: however the distortion only happens in firefox
[13:46] <drowner_> ActionParsnip1: you are ignoring my private msg. that's ok, your're a busy (wo)man
[13:46] <jim_p> ThePandemic82: from personal experience 4-5 years
[13:46] <chmac> ThePandemic82: Depends on the disk, I wouldn't bet on it after 3 years for critical data...
[13:46] <ThePandemic82> ah ic
[13:46] <chmac> danbh_intrepid: X-tremAl_Raven is having an issue where /tmp is mounted as "overflow" and only has 1MiB available

[13:47] <jjulian> jim_p, windows and manufacturer page says: ALC888S chip
[13:47] <jvargas> ziroday`: just noted something... my monitor spec says it works at 1440x900 using 60Hz, and ubuntu says it is using 51Hz
[13:47] <danbh_intrepid> X-tremAl_Raven: maybe you could paste the results of mount
[13:47] <ziroday`> jvargas: can you change it to 60Hz?
[13:47] <chmac> X-tremAl_Raven: To a pastebin, not here
[13:47] <jvargas> ziroday`: how do I change that permanently'
[13:47] <drowner_> chmac: nice save
[13:47] <ThePandemic82> what is a good program for dvd authoring?
[13:47] <chmac> drowner_: :)

[13:48] <XB23> hey guys are there any shell commands i can type to track down why users are getting lags on my box?
[13:48] <jvargas> ziroday`: not from config dialog, 60Hz option is not displayed.

[13:48] <chmac> danbh_intrepid: overflow on /tmp type tmpfs (rw,size=1048576,mode=1777)
[13:48] <jvargas> and i am afraid ubuntu replaces my xorg config when I restart
[13:48] <chmac> danbh_intrepid: X-tremAl_Raven pasted that earlier

[13:49] <danbh_intrepid> chmac: well, I suppose that means that he is out of ram, right?
[13:49] <ziroday`> jvargas: and for what its worth, I think its a firefox rendering issue
[13:49] <jjulian> jim_p thats the second sound card for hdmi output
[13:49] <jim_p> jjulian: why unknown? you said its a laptop roght?
[13:49] <jvargas> ziroday`: ok thank u so much
[13:49] <w0ls0n_>  hello all. I am using ubuntu desktop and I created a new user and logged in as that user. When I do that, I am trying to create a share and I am getting an error that says
[13:49] <w0ls0n_> 'net usershare' returned error 255: net usershare: cannot open usershare directory /var/lib/samba/usershares. Error Permission denied
[13:49] <ziroday`> jvargas: sorry, I couldn't help you more.
[13:49] <chmac> danbh_intrepid: Not sure, I didn't think /tmp was mounted in ram, but I don't know what an "overflow" mount is...
[13:49] <jim_p> jjulian: what is the 1st?
[13:49] <chmac> Nothing in the man page for "overflow"
[13:50] <danbh_intrepid> chmac: well, my /tmp isnt mounted to ram either, but I've heard about tmpfs
[13:50] <chmac> danbh_intrepid: `mount | grep tmpfs | wc -l` gives me 5
[13:51] <ThePandemic82> what are the keyboard shortcuts for copy and paste in ubuntu?
[13:51] <chmac> danbh_intrepid: varrun, varlock, udev, devshm, lrm
[13:51] <chmac> But no overflow...
[13:51] <XB23> guys how can i clear up unused cpu memory?
[13:51] <jim_p> Theaxiom: ctrl+c ctrl+v
[13:51] <chmac> XB23: It clears itself
[13:51] <XB23> ah
[13:52] <X-tremAl_Raven> <chmac> I did "sudo mount -o bind /var/tmp /tmp" and  now df -h shows "overflow               31G   31G     0 100% /tmp" Da hell does that mean?
[13:52] <jjulian> jim_p, http://pastebin.com/m2c20b98e
[13:52] <chmac> XB23: `free -m` will tell you about how much memory is used
[13:52] <jjulian> jim_p,  some information to my soundcard but my manufacturer says Realtek ALC888S chip
[13:52] <chmac> X-tremAl_Raven: I think you just mounted /tmp as a bind mount to /var/tmp
[13:52] <chmac> X-tremAl_Raven: That means that /tmp is really just /var/tmp with a different name (I'm paraphrasing, I don't really understand bind mounts)
[13:52] <X-tremAl_Raven> <chmac> I understand. But why it is now flooded by 31Gb of some files?
[13:53] <chmac> X-tremAl_Raven: It means that now you have lots of free space in /tmp :)
[13:53] <chmac> X-tremAl_Raven: Hmm, it's more than likely not
[13:53] <jim_p> jjulian: its a laptop right? the nvidia thing is possibly the default hda output while the conexat one is a modem for sure
[13:53] <chmac> X-tremAl_Raven: Can you pastebin your whole `df -h` and `mount` outputs?
[13:53] <jjulian> there are "three" soundcards or kind of
[13:54] <chmac> That would be a nice ubottu rule, to listen for any mention of paste and suggest pastebin...
[13:54] <jjulian> jim_p a realtek 3 channel (left right) and a spdif and a nvidia for hdmi and probably the modem
[13:55] <jim_p> jjulian: let me look at alsa wiki
[13:55] <dcomxx>  hello ! i got a question that might sound stupid .. but this is the first time im using ubuntu ,, i try to run a compiled c program but nothing happends ! what am i doing wrong ?
[13:56] <jrib> dcomxx: pastebin the commands you ran and the output
[13:56] <jrib> !pastebin | dcomxx
[13:56] <ubottu> dcomxx: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic)
[13:56] <X-tremAl_Raven> <chmac> So far just mounted to my ~/tmp/ directory. Anyway thanx for your help.
[13:56] <dcomxx> the program works on windows i already tried
[13:56] <malcolm_> is it an exe ?
=== geo_ is now known as geo05
[13:56] <dcomxx> i just compile it as standart a.out with gcc
[13:57] <jrib> dcomxx: you need to actually tell us the commands you run for us to help you
[13:57] <dcomxx> just gcc name.c
[13:57] <Ilokaasu> When using "intel" driver my laptops own screen shuts down and the picture comes out only from the external screen (trough vga port). Any idea how to fix this ?
[13:57] <dcomxx> which gives me a a.out
[13:58] <jrib> dcomxx: and then?
[13:58] <error404notfound> does the ubuntu minimal CD need a graphical session to install
[13:58] <dcomxx> mm i forgot the command to start an app -.-
[13:58] <jrib> !minimal | error404notfound
[13:58] <ubottu> error404notfound: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD
[13:58] <dcomxx> i justed typed the output name ...
[13:59] <jrib> dcomxx: you have to give the path to the executable.   ./a.out   since . is not in the default PATH
[13:59] <error404notfound> jrib: my question was different. I said does it need a graphical session to install? I mean those blue and red menus and buttons that I see in ubuntu-server install
[13:59] <jrib> error404notfound: the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD   (no, no gui)
[14:00] <dcomxx> why doesnt it start when i click on execute in file browser ...
[14:00] <jim_p> jjulian: http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Matrix:Vendor-Nvidia
[14:00] <jrib> dcomxx: did running it from a shell work?
[14:00] <dcomxx> i was in the folder and then typed a.out but nothing ..
[14:00] <jjulian> jim_p i tell you its not a nvidia its a realtek chip
[14:01] <jrib> dcomxx: as I said: you need to type:  ./a.out
[14:01] <jrib> !who | dcomxx
[14:01] <ubottu> dcomxx: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :)
[14:01] <dcomxx> mm ok
[14:02] <chmac> X-tremAl_Raven: If you check /etc/fstab, see if /tmp is mounted in there
[14:02] <Syrion> :D
[14:03] <chmac> X-tremAl_Raven: If it is, you can probably just add a # to the start of that line (comment it out) and then /tmp will just be a regular folder on root (/)
[14:03] <chmac> X-tremAl_Raven: If you want to pastebin /etc/fstab as well as `df -h` and `mount`, that would be helpful. Otherwise, if you're happy, I'm happy. :)
[14:04] <jim_p> jjulian: where is realtek in there?
[14:04] <jjulian> the normal soundcard which sents sound to speakers and jacks is a realtek HD audio
[14:04] <jim_p> jjulian: i mean in the alsa page
[14:06] <jjulian> on the page you gave me i can just go to nvidia and they provide no links for me
[14:06] <jjulian> jim_p,  or no downloads
[14:06] <jim_p> jjulian: these are not downloads, these are guides. where is realtek here http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Matrix:Main ?
[14:07] <jjulian> this site: http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Matrix:Vendor-Nvidia just provides nvidia as website where i probably should download my driver but nvidia got no
[14:08] <jim_p> jjulian: you are supposed to click on the "nForce-430 and later" link
[14:08] <jim_p> jjulian: no! you dont download drivers from sites
[14:09] <X-tremAl_Raven> <chmac> It's not in fstab. For now it's working this way. :)

[14:39] <UbTu2> I try to open up pico / nano and it gives me the dtterm error... thinking it's related to direction of the terminal output like tty

[14:40] <ganesh> ActionParsnip1:yes its desktop version
[14:40] <usicow> I've got a bash script which runs another program which writes to a log directory. My problem is that even if I run the script with sudo, the program that the .sh file runs cant write to the log directory. How come?
[14:40] <ActionParsnip1> ganesh: then boot it to live environment (try ubuntu without making changes)
[14:40] <ActionParsnip1> usicow: did you put sudo in the script?
[14:41] <usicow> ActionParsnip1: No.. the reason is because eventually it'll be cron that runs this script..
[14:41] <ActionParsnip1> usicow: you need to put sudo in the script but if you run it with sudo it will be authenticated for the whole script
[14:41] <ganesh> ActionParsnip1:ya in that itself its coming back to loggin screen, hence i directly installed, but same problem
[14:41] <kwyjibo> can someone suggest what should i install to be able to compile applications?
[14:42] <ActionParsnip1> ganesh: theres a ram tester on the cd, try it
[14:42] <genii> kwyjibo: package build-essential
[14:42] <usicow> ActionParsnip1: if cron runs it though I cant put sudo in the script can I? I mean cron runs it under its own username right?
[14:42] <ActionParsnip1> kwyjibo: sudo apt-get install build-essential
[14:42] <ganesh> ActionParsnip1:where ?
[14:42] <kwyjibo> genii, ActionParsnip1: thanks
[14:42] <ActionParsnip1> usicow: theres a way to make it not need sudo for some stuffs

[14:43] <usicow> ActionParsnip1: maybe theres a better way to do this? The log directory is owned by mongrel:mongrel.. and I want cron to run a script that will write to that directory.. how can I get it so that it'll have access to write to that directory?
[14:44] <mxtian> anyone have an issue with pidgin freezing up in 8.10?
[14:44] <ActionParsnip1> usicow: chmod so that you have access, you could add yourself to the mongel group then let group members have read and execute access but owner to have full access

[14:46] <hanoi> the game in ubuntu dont have sound why ?!
[14:47] <strAlan> what game
[14:47] <Spud_> I'm writing a udev rule that'll dial my usb modem whenever it's plugged in.  It ends thus: RUN+="/bin/sh -c 'wvdial TATA &'" My udev manual warns that if the rule executes some code that deoesnt terminate, this hangs the whole process.  So I've put in an & to make it fork.  Is this correct?  Also it should execute as rootuser.  Is it going to do that automatically?
[14:47] <kompi06> gim
[14:47] <hanoi> any game  dont have sounds
[14:47] <ActionParsnip1> ganesh: run an fsck as well as a ram check on your system
[14:47] <strAlan> then you need to adjust your sound settings in System -> Preferences -> Sound
[14:48] <strAlan> try selecting different audio drivers
[14:48] <prodigel> ActionParsnip1, isn't it rc ?
[14:48] <prodigel> ActionParsnip1, yet?
[14:48] <hanoi> okay thxs
[14:48] <ganesh>  ActionParsnip1:what is fsck ? and how can i do that?
[14:48] <Xsist> ActionParsnip1: Thanks
[14:48] <ActionParsnip1> prodigel: rc is 30th Oct
[14:48] <thiebaude> !fsck
[14:48] <ubottu> fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot
[14:48] <ActionParsnip1> ganesh: its like scandisk
[14:48] <strAlan> Spud_, can you post this on UF?
[14:48] <ActionParsnip1> ganesh: run memory check from grub boot to check that first
[14:49] <Spud_> strAlan: What's UF?
[14:49] <ganesh> ActionParsnip1:its not the problem with one computer.. i tried it on 4 similar kind of computer
[14:49] <strAlan> Spud_, ubuntuforums
[14:49] <mini-Arnold> if you startup your PC is a home dir made at that moment in time?
[14:49] <ActionParsnip1> ganesh: did you install those 4 from the same cd?
[14:49] <ActionParsnip1> mini-Arnold: its made at first logon
[14:50] <Xsist> ActionParsnip1: I wroted username with big W insted of w so it was why the error ucurd

[14:51] <ActionParsnip1> Xsist: for everything
[14:51] <ganesh> yes..first i tried with 32 bit and then 64..but in both the cases it comes back to loggin window
[14:51] <ActionParsnip1> Xsist: you can make you life WAY easier by never using caps
[14:51] <ActionParsnip1> ganesh: do you md5 check the iso file you download as well as check the cd for defects?
[14:52] <sparr> "startx -- :1" from within my existing X yields "Couldnt get a file descriptor referring to the console".  from a real console it works and launches gnome.  two questions.  1)  how do i get rid of that error?  2) how do i make another WM the default for startx?
[14:53] <ganesh>  ActionParsnip1: yes i even chcked cd for deffects..
[14:53] <Spud_> strAlan: Sure, I'm going there now.  But why?  Because it could be useful to people?

[15:02] <XB23> yeh
[15:02] <mini-Arnold> ActionParsnip1

[15:20] <ActionParsnip1> suw_ro: ive seen a tonne of issues, plus its not officially released so its not officially supported in the official channel
[15:20] <suw_ro> thiebaude: ok - is 3d acceleration work on 815?
[15:20] <esay> very nice
[15:20] <esay> very good :P
[15:20] <ActionParsnip1> bullgard4: just verifying what you say
[15:20] <trilobit`> amanu: so it's ok now ?
[15:20] <ganesh> ActionParsnip1:there was an entry like" resume from disk failed"
[15:20] <ikonia> bullgard4: out of interest does any other sounds play, say a random wav file or mp3
[15:20] <suw_ro> ActionParsnip1: still 16 days until release - dont care. to much if my fglrx will work
[15:20] <ActionParsnip1> ganesh: then find out what that means
[15:20] <thiebaude> suw_ro:my card isn't capable of 3d rendering
[15:20] <ActionParsnip1> suw_ro: its your computer
[15:20] <suw_ro> ActionParsnip1: i am on debian with custom kernel...
[15:21] <IrishDavid> genii, i just installed paje.app but i cant find what to execute to launch it
[15:21] <thiebaude> suw_ro:so i cant i have goodies like compiz, :-(
[15:21] <suw_ro> ActionParsnip1: hey - ain't windows - I've ben sid-ding a lot in the past.
[15:21] <amanu> trilobit`:ohh samr problem again
[15:21] <suw_ro> thiebaude: ah intel does not 3d - i remember...
[15:21] <ikonia> amanu: re-install
[15:21] <ikonia> amanu: people worked this through with you yesterday
[15:21] <ewook> custom kernel is like a custom car. you know what model it's supposed to be - but you can never expect it to work like 'original'.
[15:22] <ikonia> amanu: your system is in a mess, and moving data from wubi to your partition has messed stuff up from what we found yesterday
[15:22] <thiebaude> its a old 4yr old computer i got off ebay for 120.00, suw_ro
=== chaky_ is now known as chaky
[15:22] <thiebaude> suw_ro:but ubuntu works out of the box
[15:22] <trilobit`> amanu: you shoudn't install .deb files directly with dpkg. Use either apt-get or synaptic for installs. They are the ones that take care of dependecies as well, while dpkg can't.
[15:22] <ikonia> trilobit`: his box is in a right state
[15:22] <suw_ro> ActionParsnip1: even so, kde4 is out of the question - still a long way to finish it, so even If in the past I didnt liked gnome - I started to - and if now has tabs and splitscreen on filebrowsing it's enough for me.. :)
[15:23] <trilobit`> ikonia: oh I see
[15:23] <suw_ro> thiebaude: thank you for your report ;)
[15:23] <whyameye> I have an unformatted usb drive that won't mount in nautilus. How can I reformat?
[15:23] <ikonia> trilobit`: we spent hours on it yesterday

=== culture_ is now known as culture
[15:23] <trilobit`> ikonia: Seems quite an endeavour...
[15:24] <ikonia> trilobit`: it was a mess, hence why re-installing on the clean partition was the right way to go
[15:24] <ikonia> (from what we saw yesterday)
[15:24] <suw_ro> whyameye: use mkfs.dos
=== nattahc is now known as oneIeaf
[15:24] <whyameye> suw_ro: how do I determine the device name for the usb drive?
[15:24] <trilobit`> amanu: well then, wubi installs are for starting up. But when you want to install in a proper partition, don't go for less than fresh installs.
[15:24] <suw_ro> whyameye: mkfs.dos /dev/sdb or whatever your usb device is...
[15:24] <ActionParsnip1> whyameye: sudo fdisk -l
[15:24] <suw_ro> whyameye: get your usb out...
[15:25] <isS> test...
[15:25] <isS> waha
[15:25] <ikonia> pass
[15:25] <suw_ro> whyameye: use tail -f /var/log/kern.log

[15:31] <Spud_> I'm writing a udev rule that'll dial my usb modem whenever it's plugged in.  It ends thus: RUN+="/bin/sh -c 'wvdial TATA &'" My udev manual warns that if the rule executes some code that deoesnt terminate, this hangs the whole process.  So I've put in an & to make it fork.  Is this correct?  Also it should execute as rootuser.  Is it going to do that automatically?
[15:31] <ikonia> x0mega24x: ext3

[15:41] <thiebaude> bye isS
[15:42] <amanu> trilobit`:any how knowingly or unknowingly i transfered  system files will there dont be a way to recover it rather than a reinstall of a system
[15:42] <ikonia> amanu: you have broke you syste, - you need to re-install
[15:42] <Spud_> is this the right way to fork a new process? RUN+="/bin/sh -c 'wvdial TATA &'"
[15:42] <ikonia> amanu: that is what needs to happen to get your system working, you can then transfer the data across once you have a working system
[15:42] <trilobit`> amanu: there might be. But I fear it's beyond the ability of us here to help you do that. Too many things involved,
[15:42] <amanu> ikonia:i dont want to do it im searching here for an alternative
[15:42] <suw_ro> om_: answer to all those questions, skip networking - you-re not gonna need it... then the installer ask you to open a console on installed ubuntu - do that and the rest is history
[15:42] <Spud_> I'm creating a udev rule, and it'll hang if I don't fork.
[15:43] <ikonia> amanu: the answer is to re-install the OS, we spent hours working it through yesterday and your system was in a real mess
[15:43] <trilobit`> Spud_: I just saw there's a channel #udev  They might know.
[15:43] <om_> See I have Ubuntu 8.04 okay so I boot up smoothly using Live cd
[15:43] <manish> is it possible atleast to add custom image email notification to thunderbird. Isearched the net but did not get any thing relevent
[15:43] <om_> Now when I opened terminal I performed the following steps
[15:43] <suw_ro> om_: rescue mode?
[15:43] <r4nd0m> hello! i have AMD turion 64 x2, ATI X1200 and 1gb ram, the problem is, i dont have counter-strike constantly 100 fps, its like 50 fps in realistic scenarios. Im pretty sure its not because hardware but because of latest ati drivers(counter-strike is shittly programmed(1.6)) thats why.. my question is, does ubuntu use same drivers as ATI?
[15:43] <om_> sudo grub
[15:43] <r4nd0m> maybe i can play cs on linux?(through wine)
[15:44] <om_> which gave me the output mentioned on the page
[15:44] <suw_ro> om_: boot in rescue mode - or install mode - there's a difference
[15:44] <ikonia> manish: the devs are in #mozzilla maybe they can help
[15:44] <om_> ohhhh
[15:44] <amanu> trilobit`:its ok thank you for spending time for that can i find any documentation to read over to recovet rather than a reinstall because i dont want to just disturb all
[15:44] <om_> u mean i had to install ubuntu?
[15:44] <suw_ro> om_: NO
[15:44] <suw_ro> om_: type rescue on boot loader
[15:44] <trilobit`> amanu: it's easier to reinstall though.
[15:44] <ikonia> amanu: asking the same question and being told the same answer for 3 days is disturbing
[15:44] <Orbixx-eee> Just installed rtorrent from source and it freezes the moment it opens. Any ideas?
[15:44] <om_> but currenlty there is no bootloaded I mean windows starts automatically
[15:45] <ikonia> amanu: you will find it easier, quicker and a lot better to get to your end goal if you just re-install
[15:45] <ikonia> !grub > om_
[15:45] <om_> as my machine can't recognize the Ubuntu OS
[15:45] <ubottu> om_, please see my private message
[15:45] <amanu> trilobit`:yes but i want to recover any documentation if you can pleaseeeee
[15:45] <suw_ro> om_: Boot from CDROM - in RESCUE mode...
[15:45] <om_> ubottu i saw but i neeed a manual help
[15:45] <ubottu> Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :)
[15:45] <ikonia> amanu: you can do that once you have a working install

[15:46] <manish> thanks ikonia
[15:46] <om_> but the grub is not there
[15:46] <ikonia> om_: follow the guide ubottu sent you
[15:46] <trilobit`> amanu: the documentation you mean documents? Your own? they usually have nothing to do with the system. just save somewhere the /home/yourusername directory before you reinstall.
[15:46] <amanu> ikonia:but i want any documentation to recover rather than reinstalling
[15:46] <om_> so i need to install grub and change the grub.conf so tht it detects my Ubuntu OS
[15:46] <ikonia> amanu: your not listening, you install the OS so you CAN recover the documentation
[15:46] <suw_ro> om_: man - Put your cdrom in the machine, reboot from CDROM - select rescue mode - or type rescue
[15:46] <om_> ikonia if there wasn't any prob in tht I wouldn't have been here
[15:46] <om_> I have some probs in tht
[15:46] <ikonia> om_: follow the guide that ubottu sent you
[15:46] <om_> okay suw
[15:46] <om_> I will be back
[15:46] <ikonia> om_: it walks through installing grub
[15:46] <om_> okay
[15:46] <FloodBot2> om_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[15:47] <amanu> trilobit`:can you tell me what exact part of my system is being damaged?
[15:47] <suw_ro> ikonia: is your nick girl/boy?
[15:47] <ikonia> suw_ro male
[15:47] <suw_ro> ikonia: what it is comming from?
[15:47] <ljsoftnet> in gdebi when you open a .deb file, there's a "Package: packagename" on the upper left, is the "packagename" the only package to be installed?
[15:47] <amanu> trilobit`:what exact part of my ubuntu is being damaged now?
[15:47] <suw_ro> ikonia: icon world?
[15:48] <trilobit`> amanu: most probably the /var/lib or /lib or /share or /usr/share. There's where system files generally are.
[15:48] <ikonia> suw_ro: pointless discussion, lets not
[15:48] <om_> one more question to u people
[15:48] <suw_ro> ikonia: just courious!
[15:48] <om_> they have mention hd0,1
[15:48] <om_> waht should I meantion
[15:48] <om_> i get the output of previous commands as hd1,4
[15:48] <ikonia> om_: the guide explains how to work out what your options are
[15:48] <ikonia> om_: keep reading
[15:48] <manish> ikonia: i am the only person in that community :)

[15:48] <suw_ro> have fun
[15:48] <ikonia> manish: which community /
[15:48] <amanu> trilobit`:you mean may be either all of them or may be some of them maybe gets damaged?
[15:48]  * suw_ro BYE!
[15:49] <isS> im back
[15:49] <ikonia> amanu: your system as an over all OS is in a mess
[15:49] <trilobit`> amanu: hard to tell. I don't know anything about Wubi installs.
[15:49] <ljsoftnet> in gdebi when you open a .deb file, there's a "Package: packagename" on the upper left, is the "packagename" the only package to be installed?
[15:49] <isS> how can fastest restart pc
[15:49] <manish> #mozzilla
[15:49] <ikonia> isS sudo shutdown -r now
[15:49] <ikonia> manish: sorry, #mozilla
[15:49] <amanu> trilobit`:ohh im now not in a wubi install im now in a fresh install
[15:49] <manish> was this for me ??
[15:50] <ikonia> amanu: but your using data form your wubi install
[15:50] <manish> ok lol :)
[15:50] <amanu> trilobit`:my wubi install i getting working fine
[15:50] <ikonia> amanu: what part of this is not clear
[15:50] <trilobit`> amanu: save /home/yourusername directory in another disk or in a windows partition. Reinstall and then take that directory back. That directory contains all your documents and there's no system files there.
[15:51] <usa1FTA> who owns this server?
[15:51] <ikonia> usa1FTA freenode
[15:51] <usa1FTA> or
[15:51] <trilobit`> usa1FTA: the people do :p
[15:51] <usa1FTA> knows anything about MIRC servers.
[15:51] <ikonia> usa1FTA: no, this is ubuntu support
[15:51] <amanu> ikonia: yes i used  data(*.debfiles )form my wubi install it messed up my real install
[15:51] <ikonia> amanu: I know !
[15:51] <ljsoftnet> when you open a .deb file, there's a "Package: packagename" on the upper left, is the "packagename" the only package to be installed?
[15:51] <ikonia> amanu: you need to re-install and install the updates from the net
[15:52] <trilobit`> amanu: so now you know not to do that again ever. ;)
[15:52] <ikonia> amanu: as you've been told 10000 times now
[15:52] <amanu> trilobit:ok
[15:52] <usa1FTA> trilobit` if a channel has only one in it, would it still be on the channels list or not?
[15:52] <^andrea^> hi all
[15:52] <ikonia> usa1FTA: join #freenode for network questions
[15:52] <usa1FTA> k
[15:52] <trilobit`> usa1FTA: this is for ubuntu man. But still I can tell you it depends on the channel modes. +s

[15:53] <^andrea^> I have a very annoying problem... I can't connect any IDE to a ftp server...
[15:53] <trilobit`> ^andrea^: ??
[15:53] <ikonia> ^andrea^: can you connect to the ftp server using an ftp client
[15:53] <ikonia> trilobit`: development environment ide
[15:53] <ikonia> not ide disk
[15:53] <^andrea^> yes
[15:54] <BlueEagle> ^andrea^: IDE as in Integrated Development Environment or IDE as a harddrive?
[15:54] <tobiassjosten> I'm recording a stream using a certain software but all my videos turn out all green. Does anyone have any spontaneous idea as to why thus could be?
[15:54] <^andrea^> I think because that server requires trasfer mode set to "active" instead of passive...
[15:54] <^andrea^> BlueEagle: sorry, yes...
[15:54] <trilobit`> ^andrea^: and there are no options to modify in the IDE for that?
[15:54] <ljsoftnet> when you open a .deb file, there's a "Package: packagename" on the upper left, is the "packagename" the only package to be installed?
[15:54] <BlueEagle> ^andrea^: That was not a yes/no question.
=== root is now known as Guest5873
[15:55] <trilobit`> ljsoftnet: Why would you open a .deb file ?
[15:56] <guantanamo_> Does anyone know if it is possible to run mac osx leopard in vmware or virtualbox or any other "virtualizer"?
[15:56] <trilobit`> ljsoftnet: .deb files are not for you to manipulate. it's apt that does.
[15:56] <edlv> i connected a webcam.but it is not working. what can i do?
[15:56] <^andrea^> unfortunately no, I tried Eclipse... Quanta+... any IDE can connect to some servers but not to those which require an "active" connection...
[15:56] <Guest5873> #ubuntu-cn
[15:56] <Guest5873> ?
[15:56] <ljsoftnet> trilobit` you can install with it right
[15:56] <Guest5873> give me a link to cn
[15:56] <BlueEagle> Guest5873: to join #ubuntu-cn channel type: /join #ubuntu-cn
[15:57] <eschuch> edlv: Witch is your webcam model ?
[15:57] <bastid_raZor> guantanamo_; to date, i've never heard of anyone getting it to work properly. very sluggish and laggish.
[15:57] <trilobit`> ljsoftnet: well... not directly. Unless you're confident for real with dependencies among them.
[15:57] <Gnea> Guest5873: type this here:  /join #ubuntu-cn
[15:57] <^andrea^> haha... sorry again BlueEagle! IDE stands for  Integrated Development Environment...
[15:57] <Guest5873> wait
[15:57] <sezitas> hello
[15:57] <edlv> eschuch:i connected via usb.
[15:57] <trilobit`> ljsoftnet: or unless the provider of that .deb file has indicated you can install with it directly.
[15:57] <amanu> how can i install xchat in a freshly installed system any command there to install it from terminal?
[15:57] <BlueEagle> ^andrea^: Oh, you want to access a ftp server with the open/save dialog?

[15:58] <trilobit`> amanu: apt-get install xchat
[15:58] <amanu> ok
[15:58] <^andrea^> exactly...
[15:58] <manish> whats the terminal command to view an image
[15:58] <ikonia> amanu apt-get install gnome-xchat
[15:58] <eschuch> edlv: open a Console Shell, type sudo tailf /var/log/dmesg
[15:58] <sezitas> althow when I first tested te live cd it worked just fine
[15:58] <eschuch> edlv:than plug your usb cam
[15:58] <amanu> ikonia:will xchat and gnome-xchat differ?
[15:58] <edlv> eschuch:ok.
[15:58] <berndm> Hi There, My USB automount broke recently on Hardy, tried to uninstall HAL and reinstalled that fixes it but after reboot same problem. I checked K settings for automount and they are fine. Anyone any help on this ?
[15:58] <ubuntoRoxx_> Hello. I have a partion on my harddisk where i have some data i need to access. So i need to mount my drive. But in my /dev i have A LOT of different devices....How do I know which one is the correct harddisk partition?
[15:58] <ikonia> one intergrated into gnome
[15:58] <^andrea^> otherwise I have to edit files with the editor and then switch to FileZilla....
[15:59] <ikonia> ^andrea^: does it work with passive ftp servers /
[15:59] <eschuch> edlv:please post here the out text
[15:59] <BlueEagle> ^andrea^: There are two options as far as I know. You can either mount the ftp server in a folder using ftpfs or you can access it with ftp://. Not sure how well the latter works in gnome though. I'm a KDE-head myself. :)
[15:59] <eschuch> edlv: please post here the out text
[15:59] <^andrea^> ikonia: yes, it works!
[15:59] <sezitas> anybody? :(
[15:59] <ikonia> ^andrea^: sounds like a bug or a limiation then, maybe worth reporting it on launchpad.net
[16:00] <amanu> ikonia:i mean are  xchat and gnome-xchat are different? or the same
[16:00] <isS_> sound driver 's what package
[16:00] <ubuntoRoxx_> anyone?
[16:00] <ikonia> amanu same product, one is intergrated itno gnome
[16:00] <amanu> ok
[16:00] <BladieBla> hi
[16:00] <ikonia> ubuntoRoxx_: saying anyone is pointless, if they didn't se the question saying "anyone" won't let them see it, if they don't know the answer saying "anyone" won't make them know it
[16:01] <^andrea^> In fileZilla (my ftp client) I have to set the "active" mode otherwise I can't connect either way...
[16:01] <edlv> eschuch: http://dpaste.com/84379/
[16:01] <BladieBla> can someone help me with a boot problem of beta ubuntu desktop 8.10 i gt a error at the firtst boot up after installation i get error 15 something he cant find i think its the kernel
=== cafenet9 is now known as Tegal^Cape-Kerja
[16:01] <^andrea^> but in the IDEs the option is missing... ARG!!!
[16:01] <BlueEagle> ubuntoRoxx_: `sudo fdisk -l` will list all partitions on regular (ie non-raid) drives.
[16:01] <ikonia> !intrepid > BladieBla
[16:01] <ubottu> BladieBla, please see my private message
[16:02] <ganesh> ikonia:i installed ubuntu 64 bit version on amd athlon x2 64, but after reboot its not logging in and its coming back to loggin screen but logs in via failsafe terminal
[16:02] <BlueEagle> ubuntoRoxx_: You will probably find it on /dev/sdXY where X is the harddisk letter and Y is the partition number.
[16:02] <eschuch> edlv: if the file dosen't change as you plug the cam, maybe your webcam isn't compatible with linux.
[16:02] <BlueEagle> ubuntoRoxx_: Other than that you can try mounting potential drives and check if it contains the files you need.
[16:03] <eschuch> edlv:Do you have the model os your webcam ?
[16:03] <trilobit`> ganesh: it used to be ok when you had 32 bit install ?
[16:03] <ikonia> ganesh: what video card do you have

[16:06] <^andrea^> trilobit: no, it does not have ssh...
[16:06] <dcomxx> anyone know how to add libs with gcc ?
[16:06] <BlueEagle> ^andrea^: And I always thought that ftp servers that accepted active connections also accepted passive ones by default.
[16:06] <ikonia> dcomxx: add libs to what ?
[16:06] <kalkoen-co> ggg
[16:07] <bg4bt> Heyas, i have a problem installiung divx on xubuntu, i cant accept the license agreement in the terminal after ./install.sh
[16:07] <dcomxx> a lib with modules that should be used by gcc to compile a program
[16:07] <trilobit`> dcomxx: you mean adding libs for gcc to use ?
[16:07] <bharath> hai everyone...!
[16:07] <BlueEagle> sparkyy: Then I suggest you add the details needed in one line along with your question. :)
[16:07] <ikonia> bg4bt you don't install divx that way
[16:07] <ikonia> bg4bt see the link ubottu sent you
[16:07] <ganesh>  ikonia: yes i think its ati card

[16:08] <indian_munnda> sparkyy: r u not able to update it from office itself (tools -> update -> update all)?
[16:08] <BlueEagle> sparkyy: I'm sorry, but I know nothing about upgrading to OOo3. I was just trying to help you get help from others faster.
[16:08] <^andrea^> BlueEagle: thank you very much... I really don't know what the problem is...
[16:08] <sparkyy> indian_munnda, I just downloaded the package and dpkg'ed
[16:08] <dcomxx> not libs for gcc .. just modules that i put in a lib and now i want gcc to use that lib instead of the .c files
[16:09] <amanu_> bharath:hi
[16:09] <trilobit`> dcomxx: usually when using extra libraries when you compile "foo", you tell "foo" via configure or Makefile or some other means where to check for the extra libraries when compiled.
[16:09] <sparkyy> BlueEagle, thanks..
[16:09] <dcomxx> yea but whats the option for using a lib with gcc ?
[16:09] <^andrea^> my colleague use Dreamweaver and has no problem at all!!!
[16:09] <sparkyy> I used the intstructions here http://user.services.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=68
[16:09] <bharath> hi to amanu_

[16:14] <Scunizi> RickZilla: I've used both.. F-Spot works fine and is very similar however you can install Picasa if you want..
[16:14] <RickZilla> Scunizi:  Would F-Spot upload to Picasa Web?
[16:14] <BlueEagle> ttt--_: Might be a memory fragmentation issue. How much RAM do you have to play with?
[16:14] <Scunizi> RickZilla: yep
[16:15] <Scunizi> RickZilla: and a bunch of others as well.
[16:15] <ttt--_> i only have 10% or so of memory in use
[16:15] <BlueEagle> ttt--_: That was not the question.
[16:15] <RickZilla> Scunizi:  Thanks, I may give it a shot...might be good to have something to upload to Flickr as well

[16:16] <Scunizi> RickZilla: it's preinstalled so it's pretty easy.. there is an option you MIGHT want to turn off in fspot.. it likes to move pics from their current directory to one of its own. It makes directories as Year, then Month, then Day.. Some people don't like that.
[16:17] <BlueEagle> !repeat > sqawarlz

[16:17] <ubuntoRoxx_> _Zeus_: So sudo mount /dev/sda3 /mnt/sda3 ?
[16:17] <BlueEagle> sqawarlz: Any error messages would be helpful.

[16:20] <sqawarlz> ubuntuRoxx, it fails to mount period.
[16:20] <BlueEagle> sqawarlz: I see. How do you attempt to mount the share? Do you have a username identical to the one you use in linux on the windows box and if so, does this user have a password defined?
[16:20] <ubuntoRoxx_> sqawarlz: I dont understand that?
[16:20] <sqawarlz> ubuntuRoxx, I also cannot access FTP without a FTP client, such as gFTP.
[16:20] <bastid_raZor> dexter; if you're in the directory already type 'rm -f *.extension
[16:20] <nyad>  hi. I'm using a proxy to connect and I set my http_proxy env var like $ export http_proxy=http://username:pwd@proxy:port  but lynx then said my username:pwd was the proxy and asked for a username and pwd. why doesn't it accept the syntax of the proxy var?
[16:20] <ubuntoRoxx_> sqawarlz: What do you mean?
[16:21] <sqawarlz> BlueEagle, I do not have a user name that is identical. I am specifying a user name, and it comes up with the password field there after where I enter my credentials.
[16:21] <scientes> why the frig cant pressing esc on the ubuntu cds get you to a real grub command line?
[16:21] <sqawarlz> ubuntoRoxx, I mean the share wont mount, so it cant remain after reboot because it doesnt mount!
[16:21] <BlueEagle> sqawarlz: What do you do to make it "come up with the password field"? (ie. which tool are you attempting to mount with)
[16:22] <sqawarlz> BlueEagle, I am trying to connect to the server via connect to server from the ubuntu menu
[16:22] <BlueEagle> scientes: Because it provides an option to add advanced options. I think it's by pressing F6 but I don't remember exactly.
[16:22] <sqawarlz> Ubuntu>Places>Connect to server
[16:23] <scientes> hmm,
[16:23] <scientes> i couldnt find it
[16:23] <BlueEagle> sqawarlz: Ahh. I see. Nothing I can help you with then... unless you want to try to mount it using the command line which might help identify the problem.
[16:23] <scientes> what is the use of the esc command line?
[16:23] <scientes> all it wanted was a kernel image path
[16:23] <scientes> and nothing more
[16:23] <dexter> hey how can i arrive at the directory of my  pen drive
[16:23] <sqawarlz> BlueEagle, that is a good idea, how do I do that?
[16:24] <scientes> it seems 64 bit grub is differnt or something?
[16:24] <sqawarlz> Im trying to mount a SMB share on a domain server, but regardless it is failing.
[16:24] <ikonia> scientes grub is 32bit
[16:24] <scientes> the grub from my 64 bit install isnt working and the partition isnt recognized, my home is
[16:24] <scientes> and i didnt want to override t to bot a windows partition on the same drive
[16:24] <ikonia> scientes grub is still 32bit even on a 64bit system
[16:25] <BlueEagle> sqawarlz: Hang on. Getting the command. :)
[16:25] <trilobit`> scientes: normally grub doesn't have anything to do with diffences 32/64bit
[16:25] <scientes> my motherboard went bad and i had to send it back so i am in a wierd place with all this 64 code on my system

[16:26] <rbll> hi all
[16:26] <scientes> like how ubuntu ALLWAYS gets my drive numbers wrong when installing grub and i allways have to change them
[16:26] <trilobit`> scientes: does it work when you put a live cd there ?
[16:26] <rbll> i have a simple question
[16:26] <scientes> yeah im on the live cd now
[16:26] <rbll> does anyone know the "channel for Counter-Strike"?
[16:26] <Scorpion_on> hi
[16:26] <scientes> but i cant boot the 32-bt windows partition cause grub doesnt get to stage 1.5
[16:26] <rbll> because I need help for CS on Ubuntu
[16:26] <astro73> rbll: #wine?
[16:26] <scientes> why would you do that rbll?
[16:27] <trilobit`> scientes: so have you tried to take note of how the live cd numbers the partitions and check that against the installed system ?
[16:27] <bharath> any slackware users...?
[16:27] <rbll> because I am on Ubuntu??? :D
[16:27] <dexter> wats the command to enter into the previous directory
[16:27] <scientes> honestly if your a serious gamer run linux in a vm under windows
[16:27] <Gnea> bharath: in #slackware

[16:27] <nyad> bit
[16:27] <Ercolinov> Hi
[16:28] <scientes> idk, it seems that even when grub has its files locally it doesnt like to work when you move the drive around
[16:28] <unimatrix9> hi there , how do i get dvdauthor to make a dvd with more then one file?
[16:28] <trilobit`> scientes: move the drive around ?
[16:28] <scientes> like master/slave to another machine, on a differnt card etc
[16:28] <scientes> it breaks grub
=== lmr is now known as lmr[lunch]
[16:29] <trilobit`> scientes: you do that often ?
[16:29] <attickid> ey how can I make "cd" to a directory which has a space in its name?
[16:30] <sqawarlz> BlueEagle, NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE
[16:30] <BlueEagle> sqawarlz: In a terminal type: sudo mount -t smbfs -o username=your_username_goes_here,password=your_password_goeshere //servername/sharename /path/to/mountpoint
[16:30] <el_guapo> @attikid: use quotes
[16:30] <scientes> well when my harddrive goes bad i do it
[16:30] <trilobit`> attickid: use:  cd "/where/the directory with spaces/is"
[16:30] <el_guapo> or escape the space:  cd my\ folder
[16:30] <trilobit`> attickid: use the quotes.
[16:30] <BlueEagle> sqawarlz: Which platform is the share running on?
[16:30] <scientes> and also i had trouble with drivers in windows for my IDE/PCI card
[16:30] <sqawarlz> Server 2003
[16:30] <attickid> trilobit, el_guapo  thanks :)
[16:31] <indian_munnda> dexter: cd ..
[16:31] <scientes> it sould work even if moved, esp if the refrenced partition ins on the same gd drive
[16:31] <dexter> indian_munda; that doesnt work in linux..it works in windows
[16:31] <trilobit`> scientes: I can't tell. I haven't changed much such as you so I can't say.
[16:31] <dexter> indian_munda; is ur name mahidhar
[16:32] <trilobit`> attickid: np
[16:32] <indian_munnda> dexter: this works dude i use it in ubuntu itself. :0
[16:32] <indian_munnda> :)
[16:32] <scientes> hmm live cd isnt liking my partition
[16:32] <indian_munnda> dexter: nopes
[16:32] <BlueEagle> sqawarlz: If you have got spaces in your username and/or password you have to escape them by prepending a backslash so that some user becomes some\ user
[16:32] <el_guapo> how do i configure the menu to open an app with nice? eg:  sudo nice -n -15 app   or gksudo nice -n -15 app  (neither of which work btw)

[16:33] <Gnea> scientes: please do not obfuscate swearing (or swear), there are kids present
[16:33] <scientes> el_guapo:
[16:33] <indian_munnda> dexter: there is a space between cd and ..
[16:33] <indian_munnda> mind that
[16:33] <scientes> program && gksu renice +5 app
[16:33] <sqawarlz> BlueEagle, I do not have spaces in my name. Basically I'm trying to connect via smbclient //bill/documents -U <username>
[16:34] <sqawarlz> BlueEagle, it there by ask me for my password which I enter correctly.
[16:34] <BlueEagle> sqawarlz: Did you attempt the mount-string I gave you?
[16:34] <_Zeus_> scientes: why use gksu?
[16:34] <dexter> indian_munda; thanx buddy...this works
[16:34] <el_guapo> scientes: 1 moment plz---
[16:34] <BlueEagle> !gksudo
[16:34] <ubottu> If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why)
[16:34] <scientes> yeah
[16:34] <_Zeus_> renice is not a GUI app!
=== kalkoen-co is now known as adip
[16:34] <scientes> sudo works fine if you laund from terminal or if allready validated thou
[16:35] <sqawarlz> BlueEagle, I have problems with that mount string. udo mount -t smbfs -o username,password //servername/sharename /path/to/mountpoint
[16:35] <nyad> scientes, it works but I doubt it's secure
[16:35] <scientes> gksu is backwards compadible with sudo i believe
[16:35] <BlueEagle> sqawarlz: Which error message is you getting?
[16:35] <nyad> safer to use kdesu or gksu
[16:35] <scientes> i dont think it makes a diff nyad
[16:35] <sqawarlz> should it be sudo mount -t smbfs -o username,password //servername/sharename /path/to/mountpoint ORs udo mount -t smbfs -o username=username,password=password? //servername/sharename /path/to/mountpoint
[16:36] <scientes> your just trusting gksu with your password instead of your terminal/sudo
[16:36] <nyad> most people say running graphical things as root is bad
[16:36] <BlueEagle> sqawarlz: it should be sudo mount
[16:36] <_Zeus_> nyad: indeed it is, if you don't need it

[16:36] <nyad> scientes, it's taking a while to run that...
[16:36] <amanu_> whats the difference between su and sudo
[16:36] <sqawarlz> BlueEagle, I got the syntax wrong.
[16:36] <scientes> oh yeah i should have said that
[16:37] <BlueEagle> scientes: That is not funny! That is DANGEROUS!
[16:37] <_Zeus_> amanu_: su requires a username
[16:37] <scientes> i was jsut saying command line is just as dangerous

[16:37] <nyad> scientes, do I get popcorn when its done?
[16:37] <scientes> probably more dangerous
[16:37] <_Zeus_> amanu_: you would use su if you need to become another user (non-root)
=== Awang is now known as aLVIAN_

[16:38] <heret|c> perfect.

[16:38] <Gnea> amanu_: sUPERuSER
[16:38] <scientes> what was that heret|c?
[16:38] <nyad> amanu_, it's for switching users, you can go to root with it if you want
[16:38] <heret|c> something you should never do :)
[16:38] <_Zeus_> Gnea: su is actually for ANY user, not just the superuser

[16:38] <_Zeus_> el_guapo: you need a sudo before the renice
[16:38] <Gnea> _Zeus_: right
[16:38] <scientes> hmm el_guapo maybe its a bash thing
[16:39] <amanu_> well is su only for swtching as root for other users if any multiple users in system?
[16:39] <scientes> try semicolan
[16:39] <sqawarlz> BlueEagle, no I'm having a problem with the syntax like a newbz.
[16:39] <Gnea> scientes, heret|c: please stop.

[16:39] <sqawarlz> BlueEagle, Pici, sudo mount -t smbfs -o username=mynamehere //server/users/ but what do I put for the mount point?

[16:39] <scientes> ubottu learn su now!
[16:39] <ubottu> Sorry, I don't know anything about learn su now!
[16:39] <amanu_> will sudo and su does the same for a particular user?
[16:39] <BlueEagle> sqawarlz: A place where you would like to access the files.
[16:40] <sqawarlz> BlueEagle, you put no space between username and comma password=passowrd?
[16:40] <heret|c> alias su=sudo -s -H
[16:40] <Sensei_> osssu
[16:40] <Pici> scientes: No, it doesn't.  ubottu doesn't need to know every single command.
[16:40] <BlueEagle> sqawarlz: For example create /media/remove_server with sudo mkdir /media/remote_server
[16:40] <sqawarlz> BlueEagle, give me an example of how to mount it to my desktop?
[16:40] <scientes> su is importand
[16:40] <amanu_> _Zeus_:well su can be a super reference for all users?
[16:40] <BlueEagle> sqawarlz: then you put /media/remote_server as the mount point.

[16:40] <Sensei_> is it possible to automaticaly lunch a script when a computer wekeup from sleep?
[16:40] <Gnea> scientes: so is proper grammar.
[16:40] <ikonia> amanu_: you should have no need to use su on an ubuntu system
[16:41] <ikonia> amanu_: ubuntus security model is based around sudo, so in theory su should be unusable
[16:41] <scientes> wat ikonia?
[16:41] <heret|c> sudo is stupid. it takes -s -H but won't take -sH
[16:41] <_Zeus_> ikonia: what do you mean?
[16:41] <el_guapo> scientes, _zeus_ gksudo app && renice -10 app  fails silently.  noteven an authlog failure
[16:41] <amanu_> ikonia:no i want to know what exactly is the difference between su and sudo
[16:41] <_Zeus_> el_guapo: I said, prefix renice with sudo
[16:41] <scientes> su is importand, esp for security
[16:41] <sqawarlz> BlueEagle, mount point doesn't exist!
[16:41] <scientes> the sudo thing creates alot of security considerations
[16:41] <scientes> cause it takes user passwords
[16:41] <_Zeus_> technically, you can also use sudo to pick another user
[16:42] <ikonia> amanu_: one is @switch user@ the other is execute a command as a suder
[16:42] <sqawarlz> BlueEagle, did you mean remote_server or did you mean enter my remote server's name?
[16:42] <_Zeus_> but su is needed at least for compatibility
[16:42] <scientes> _Zeus_: ur crazy
[16:42] <scientes> su not just for root
[16:42] <ikonia> _Zeus_ I didn't say it wasn't there, I said it really shouldn't be needed on an ubuntu system
[16:42] <ikonia> scientes: I didn't say it was
[16:42] <Gnea> scientes: no need for name-calling.
[16:42] <_Zeus_> scientes: I know that su isn't just for root
[16:42] <BlueEagle> sqawarlz: That is indifferent as long as you use the same name on the folder as you use for the mount point.
[16:43] <BlueEagle> sqawarlz: In theory you can call it /media/gobledgook
[16:43] <scientes> el_guapo: try semicolan
[16:43] <mopped> How do I set firefox as a default browser? the check now options etc doesnt work!
[16:43] <sqawarlz> BlueEagle, I think I understand. I'm still getting mount point doesn't exist.
[16:43] <el_guapo> where in the command?
[16:43] <_Zeus_> mopped: go to firefox preferences, in main there should be a button that says "check now"
[16:43] <scientes> el_guapo: or try #POSIX or #bash or something
[16:44] <amanu_> ikonia:well i came to know that su is for switching users (if any multiple users there) with out logging out yes?
[16:44] <_Zeus_> el_guapo: sudo renice
[16:44] <mopped> I tried it _Zeus_, nothing happens
[16:44] <Pici> mopped: There should be a default applications or similar menu in System>Preferences
[16:44] <scientes> yes amanu_
[16:44] <BlueEagle> sqawarlz: I assume you changed /path/to/mountpoint to /media/server_name in the mount-command
[16:44] <ikonia> amanu_ yes, as I said su is "switch user" - Switch User, su
[16:44] <scientes> it will ask for their password amanu_
[16:44] <BlueEagle> sqawarlz: sudo mount -t smbfs -o username=your_username_goes_here,password=your_password_goeshere //servername/sharename /media/server_name
[16:44] <indian_munnda> mopped: hear to _Zeus_
[16:44] <amanu_> scientes,ikonia:ok
[16:44] <ikonia> amanu_: there should be no need to use su on an ubuntu system
[16:44] <Pici> sqawarlz: A directory in /media needs to exist for the mountpoint that you are specifying in your mount command.,
[16:45] <el_guapo> I'm trying to edit the main menu entry for kino in order to have it process video at a -10 niceness.
[16:45] <mopped> I click Chcek Now and nothing happens
[16:45] <mopped> thats the problem
[16:45] <mopped> :P
[16:45] <amanu_> ikonia:ok
[16:45] <el_guapo> I want it to smoke my quad-core
[16:45] <scientes> i bet switch user in gnome uses su ikonia
[16:45] <_Zeus_> ikonia: why do you keep saying that there is no need?
[16:45] <Pici> el_guapo: you cannot put multiple commands into a launcher. You'll need to tell it to run a script that contains your commands.
[16:45] <_Zeus_> ikonia: I use su a lot
[16:45] <ikonia> _Zeus_ there should be no/little need to use it
[16:45] <indian_munnda> mopped: tick that entry "Always check..." and restart firefox
[16:45] <el_guapo> Pici:  YAY!
[16:46] <_Zeus_> ikonia: maybe not for you
[16:46] <mopped> I have, still nothing
[16:46] <amanu_> on conclusion there will be one root (can be called using su ) and sudo for each user per system yes?
[16:46] <scientes> ikonia: yeah dont think you represent everybody
[16:46] <indian_munnda> mopped: sorry then :)
[16:46] <ikonia> _Zeus_: well, I actually use it a lot personally too, but in ubuntu's security model there shouldn't be
[16:46] <scientes> root is called root
[16:46] <ikonia> scientes: please stop talking unless you can actually discuss something
[16:46] <_Zeus_> ikonia: I said you need it for backwards compatibility
[16:46] <scientes> super user and switch user are differnt
[16:46] <trilobit`> scientes: but the point of this argument is?
[16:46] <Pici> !ot
[16:46] <ubottu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[16:46] <ikonia> _Zeus_: yes, that is very valid
[16:46] <sqawarlz> BlueEagle, I'm doing exactly what your asking and its coming up with the help menu... like I did something wrong.
[16:47] <el_guapo> scientes: a rose by any other name...
[16:47] <Pici> Sudo vs. su discussion is a bit offtopic of rthis channel.
[16:47] <Pici> s/or f/ for/
[16:47] <BlueEagle> sqawarlz: You are attempting to run the command in a terminal, right?
[16:47] <amanu_> Pici:ok sorry for that i wont ask about it anymore
[16:47] <sqawarlz> BlueEagle, yes. Can't do sudo any other way. sudo mount -t smbfs username=user,password=password //server/users/ /media/usersdrive/
[16:48] <RickZilla> Scunizi:  Does F-Stop have the editing capabilities of Picasa?
[16:48] <_Zeus_> i think so, RickZilla
[16:48] <amanu_> can we install picassa in ubuntu?
[16:48] <sqawarlz> BlueEagle, I replaced user with my actual user name, and password with my actual password, but that is exactly how I'm trying to mount it.
[16:48] <ikonia> yes
[16:48] <BlueEagle> sqawarlz: And what response do you get in the terminal when you attempt to use that command?
[16:49] <RickZilla> amanu_:  Was just looking at the same thing...there's a Linux version of Picasa available
[16:49] <amanu_> RickZilla:can we get .deb file for that or we have to install it from terminal?
[16:50] <sqawarlz> BlueEagle, it is still telling me mount point doesn't exist.
[16:50] <Scunizi> RickZilla: yes to some extent, however you can also right mouse click a pic and open it in Gimp.. Another good photo manipulation prog. that allows exif info manipulation in the pic and lossless reduction/rotation etc is Mapivi.. It's great for bulk resize/rotate and has some editing features as well as cataloging but no upload capability.
[16:50] <histo> RickZilla: I believe there is.
[16:50] <ichbinesderelch> sqawarlz: created the mountpoint directory?
[16:50] <sqawarlz> BlueEagle, I'm trying to mount to /media/remotedrive/
[16:50] <histo> RickZilla: picasa.google.com/linux/
[16:51] <sqawarlz> ichbinesderelch, I don't understand. I have to create a directory to mount to?
[16:51] <BlueEagle> sqawarlz: ls -l /media/ |grep usersdrive
[16:51] <BlueEagle> sqawarlz: Does that list anything?
[16:51] <BlueEagle> sqawarlz: sudo mkdir /media/usersdrive
[16:51] <BlueEagle> sqawarlz: then try the mount again.
[16:51] <ichbinesderelch> sqawarlz: yes, if you want it to mount to /media/remotedrive the folder remotedrive has to excist in /media/ directory
[16:51] <amanu_> RickZilla: here it is      http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2006/05/26/install-picasa-on-ubuntu/
[16:52] <Scunizi> RickZilla: Picasa on Ubuntu uses wine to load since it's still a native windows program..  Personally I resist doing that
[16:52] <thomashartman1> I would like to limit the amount of ram my user can consume. I read this can be done with pam. /etc/security/limits.conf now has thartman         hard    memlock         65536
[16:53] <thomashartman1> but I still seem to be using more memory than that.
[16:53] <thomashartman1> I'm on hardy heron.,
[16:53] <jmazikowski> Hi, is here a way to map a USB printer to lpt1 so it shows up like a parallel printer?
[16:53] <sqawarlz> BlueEagle, ls -l /media/ |grep usersdrive returned nothing in terminal, but I made the dir, and ran the command again, and it reported mount:wrong FS type
[16:53] <trilobit`> Scunizi: In the meantime I play "Spore" with wine. ^^
[16:53] <thomashartman1> any idea?
[16:53] <BlueEagle> sqawarlz: sudo apt-get install smbfs
[16:53] <amanu_> RickZilla:you got it?
[16:53] <BlueEagle> sqawarlz: then try the mount again.
[16:53] <heret|c> trilobit`, i've seen plenty of games play better in wine then in native windows
[16:53] <sqawarlz> BlueEagle, smbfs is installed by default isn't it? I thought I already checked this
[16:54] <Scunizi> trilobit`: wine can be useful
[16:54] <trilobit`> heret|c: there are a lot of them that work actually. Spore in wine just can't seem to get to high resolutions as Windows native does.
[16:54] <roland__> Xanadu
[16:54] <RickZilla> amanu_:  I don't, I've just been reading about it
[16:54] <trilobit`> this is offtopic anyhow. Sorry.
[16:54] <jmazikowski> Hi, is here a way to map a USB printer to lpt1 so it shows up like a parallel printer?
[16:55] <amanu_> RickZilla:ok
[16:55] <RickZilla> Scunizi:  You forsee problems with Picasa on ubuntu specifically, or just on Linux in general?
[16:55] <roland__> mmmH! I'm new here...
[16:55] <histo> trilobit`: resolution shouldn't be effected by wine
[16:55] <Dreamglider> i sit right that me moving my mouse around the desktop should use up 50% of the CPU ?
[16:56] <roland__> On parle rançais aussi?
[16:56] <Dreamglider> is is*
[16:56] <sqawarlz> BlueEagle, SMBclient is installed, shouldn't that be enough to connec to windows shares?
[16:56] <histo> sqawarlz: yes
[16:56] <ComradeHaz> *"is it"?
[16:56] <trilobit`> histo: could be. I just didn't care much for that, as long as it was running.
[16:56] <Scunizi> RickZilla: I've used it on linux and just thought that it was a resource hog.. the combo between Fspot and Mapivi and Gimp have done me very well.  and they're native..
=== roland_ is now known as Phil_D
[16:56] <roland__> Bien, ça me réjouit
[16:57] <ichbinesderelch> Dreamglider: installed your graphic card properly?

[16:57] <ubottu> roland: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr
[16:57] <BlueEagle> sqawarlz: Not with a mount it isn't.
[16:57] <sqawarlz> histo, then why can't I access any of my windows servers from ubuntu!
[16:57] <RickZilla> Scunizi:  Understood--I love GIMP, but sometimes I just need to do some simple retouching quickly, and Picasa does that pretty well
[16:57] <Dreamglider> icewaterman, i have not installed any drivers
[16:57] <roland__> ok, merci, salut!
[16:57] <The_ManU_212> kpdf crashes when i want to open a pdf-file, kghostview works, i use only default sopurces
[16:57] <sqawarlz> BlueEagle, can I broswe the shares without smbfs?
[16:57] <jmazikowski> Can I point lpt1 to a usb printer so that it shows up as a parallel printer?
[16:57] <histo> sqawarlz: dunno should work. Try going to places network. Wins is goofy and you might need to connect via ip at first.
[16:57] <ichbinesderelch> The_ManU_212: run it from terminal and watch out for the error message
[16:58] <The_ManU_212> ichbinesderelch: see:

[16:58] <ichbinesderelch> Dreamglider: thats maybe way ;)
[16:58] <sqawarlz> histo, when I do that it comes up as having 0 windows shares! I know for a fact it has nearly 300!
[16:58] <sqawarlz> BlueEagle, I'm installing it now, hang in there.
[16:59] <Dreamglider> ichbinesderelch, care to assist me in installing the drivers ?
[16:59] <histo> sqawarlz: you should only need samba-common
[16:59] <histo> !samba | sqawarlz
[16:59] <ubottu> sqawarlz: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments.

[16:59] <ichbinesderelch> Dreamglider: what graphiccard do you have?
[16:59] <Dreamglider> ichbinesderelch, the card is an ATI Radeon 9800
[17:00] <sqawarlz> BlueEagle, it worked now through terminal. Should I dismount the drive, and try and access it now through connec to server?
[17:00] <trilobit`> Dreamglider: have you checked whether there are drivers for linux for that model of card ?
[17:00] <BlueEagle> sqawarlz: You may try that.
[17:01] <mikep> I use an atheros card and I have to pull up the terminal and type "pccardctl eject" to make my thinkpad shutdown properly. Where can I find a file to add this to? thx
[17:01] <Dreamglider> trilobit`, No.
[17:01] <ichbinesderelch> Dreamglider: not sure about ati cards, never used one ;) gonna find out how the ati package is called

[17:01] <blake-> hi. just installed the non-free nvidia drivers but they seem to have done something to firefox.  whenever i open a new tab i have to click on the page it get it to show up. but, if the page changes, say a animated gif, it does show it. does anyone know how to fix this?
[17:01] <sqawarlz> BlueEagle, how do I dismount? It says I cant unmount unless im sudo
[17:01] <nyad> Dreamglider, I'd assume that there are for that card, pretty sure there are
[17:01] <BlueEagle> sqawarlz: Either that or you can visit the 1st link that ubottu provided just now and add an entry to your /etc/fstab
[17:01] <BlueEagle> sqawarlz: sudo umount /media/server_name

[17:03] <sqawarlz> BlueEagle, So I can manually mount the drive, but I still can't browse windows systems?
[17:04] <ChunkStyle> Anyone know where to find a 64bit version of skype for ubuntu 8.04 ??
[17:04] <sqawarlz> BlueEagle, my goal is to be able to browse the shares, via RUn > SMB://server
[17:04] <BlueEagle> sqawarlz: That is not "how it's done"(tm) in linux.
[17:04] <Sensei_> hi there
[17:04] <BlueEagle> sqawarlz: I think konqueror provides such functionality trough kio
[17:05] <Sensei_> someone can help me to run a script when my computer wake up from sleep?
[17:05] <ichbinesderelch> sqawarlz: but i think this would work if you just put the adress in the nautilus adressbar like this
[17:05] <BlueEagle> sqawarlz: I am not sure if nautilus supports that.
[17:05] <ichbinesderelch> bluedusk: afaik it does

[17:05] <sqawarlz> BlueEagle, I need to be able to fully administer my Windows servers and shares, I can't go through tooth and nail mounting and creation of media points to do it, especially in a large changing envirnment as myown. There has to be a way.
[17:05] <ichbinesderelch> BlueEagle: damn, got me on that one ;)
[17:06] <ChunkStyle> thx blake-
[17:06] <ichbinesderelch> BlueEagle: i'm gonna change my name to something like blue as well :P
[17:06] <BlueEagle> sqawarlz: ichbinesderelch sais that nautilus does support smb:// but I don't use it so I can't verify it for you. Try googling nautilus samba
[17:06] <sqawarlz> ichbinesderelch, how do I pull up an address bar in nautilus?
[17:06] <BlueEagle> ichbinesderelch: I've had this nick since '96 so I'm not changing it anytime soon. ;)

[17:11] <blake-> enlgma: they are achives, usally of the source code of the program that you have to manually compile
[17:12] <en1gma> yea i thought slackware used it....i used to use slackware.....is there a converter so i can install a .tar.gz binary for ubuntu
[17:12] <trilobit`> en1gma: man alien
[17:12] <toast> hmm
[17:12] <Pici> en1gma: No. You cannot convert a tar.gz to a .deb.
[17:12] <danbh_intrepid> !checkinstall | en1gma maybe this works?
[17:12] <ubottu> en1gma maybe this works?: checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running!
[17:12] <toast> anyone used ATTM, upload, generic upload or image behavior ?
[17:13] <trilobit`> Pici: Actually depending on distribution that provides alien, it might.
[17:13] <idefix> is the ongoing improvement of ubuntu really ensimpling or is it just making a turbo-puzzle out of a simple functionial OS?
[17:13] <Pici> en1gma: Check the package repos for the software you want to install before you try install ing 3rd party packages.
[17:13] <idefix> my question is not to be ignored!
[17:13] <blake-> trilobit: i thought alien was just rpm <-> deb? or am i totally wrong?
[17:14] <orgthingy> does BETA ubuntu has newest kernel already?
[17:14] <idefix> yes! does it?
[17:14] <orgthingy> because 8.10 supports my wireless card
[17:14] <Pici> idefix: This discussion is not within the scope of this support channel.  Try #ubuntu-offtopic
[17:14] <brandon__> I believe it does.
[17:14] <orgthingy> but 8.04.1 doesnt :P
[17:14] <Pici> orgthingy: Why not ask in #ubuntu+1 ?
[17:14] <orgthingy> Pici : hmm
[17:14] <trilobit`> blake-: I have used it to get .tgz from .rpm. This was on slackware long ago. At the same time, RH-s alien didn't do it.
[17:14] <orgthingy> because this channel is more.. active?
[17:15] <Pici> orgthingy: And that is offtopic for here.
[17:15] <genii> blake-: rpm,pkg,tgz and lsb        However it's always recommended not to use it when possible
[17:15] <jim_p> orgthingy: ubuntu 8.10 had newer kernel from 8.04 since it was... born?
[17:16] <sezitas> can anyone help me...I have a problem with internet access in ubuntu 7.04
[17:16] <orgthingy> Pici : ok, now im gonna ask "general ubuntu question"
[17:16] <sjs> country
[17:16] <sjs> ?
[17:16] <trilobit`> blake-: as I got it back then, mostly alien in each distro is used to import from other systems to its native one. So alien on debian can do better rpm->deb while alien on RH can do better deb->rpm
[17:16] <orgthingy> anyhow, I want to uninstall Ubuntu 8.04 to put 8.10 BETA
[17:16] <orgthingy> but that would remove grub, no?
[17:16] <orgthingy> if yes, then how can i boot?

[17:17] <jim_p> orgthingy: do not uninstall! change your sources and dist-upgrade
[17:17] <BlueEagle> orgthingy: Grub is not removed unless you overwrite the boot record of the partition or disk where it exists.

[17:27] <milind> hi, how can i set up file permissions as to which users can access which files?
[17:28] <sqawarlz> I reject reality! There has to be a way to browse Windows shares without mounting them, or know thier paths.
[17:28] <jim_p> milind: you have more than one user?
[17:28] <milind> yes
[17:29] <jim_p> milind: then i cant help you :(
[17:29] <nyad> sqawarlz, it's nice in kubuntu. I just click on remote places and presto all windows share appear
[17:29] <sla2> when I try "login" in a terminal, i get a message about utmp. How can I login in a terminal?
[17:29] <milind> where can i find relevent information?
[17:29] <trilobit`> sqawarlz: have you tried #samba ?  There's a lot of people there who can help you I guess.
[17:29] <nyad> sqawarlz, doesn't ubuntu have that in places-->network?
[17:30] <sqawarlz> nydad, I used to be able to do that in ubuntu in 7.X. What the hell happened that I can't do that now? Why are you able to do it in a KDE gui but I cant in a Gnome gui?
[17:30] <sqawarlz> nyad, yes it does and I can browse to my servers but it comes up with zero shares for every single server...
[17:30] <snabel25> will grub only see installation of stage1 on partitions that has the boot flag set? I have suse11 on sda1 and ubuntu on sda2, but 'find /boot/grub/stage1' will only reeturn hd(0,0)
[17:31] <snabel25> shall I use root hd(0,1) then or go with hd(0,0)?
[17:32] <trilobit`> snabel25: I'd try the change. You can always revert back, no ?
[17:32] <nyad> sqawarlz, that's odd. I had an issue where I couldn't share stuff but I could access otehr peoples stuff. samba plays games with us at times
[17:32] <snabel25> I want grub maintained from the ubuntu install
[17:32] <trilobit`> snabel25: yes but at least get it to work first ;)
[17:32] <snabel25> trilobit`: yeah I can
[17:33] <en1gma> with ubuntu 8.04 i got a couple questions about the file manager....1.) how do i call the file manager so it is in root mode....2.) im in 800*600 resolution and when i am in list mode i cant see enough files at the same time....the letters are to big...can i adjust the size of the letters just in the file manager only.
[17:33] <trilobit`> snabel25: and also, what happens when you edit the line in preboot ?
[17:33] <trilobit`> snabel25: when you modify the entry before grub fires the os ?
[17:33] <snabel25> trilobit`: what do you mean by preboot?
=== astsubay_tokat is now known as astsubay_82
[17:34] <trilobit`> snabel25: when grub starts and shows the menu, there's a key (e I think) that lets you modify the entries before they are executed. You can use it for testing.
[17:34] <snabel25> trilobit`: isnt that read from the menu.lst file in groot
[17:35] <snabel25> trilobit`: and groot will be set by the 'root hd(0,1)' command?
[17:35] <unimatrix9> any one with knowledge of dvdauthor
[17:36] <trilobit`> snabel25: it is by default and that's what you get in the menu. When the menu shows up, disable the countdown with the arrow keys, select the entry and then modify it (with "e" if I'm correct) and THEN start that selection.
[17:36] <snabel25> trilobit`: okay, I'll try that. Thanks!
[17:37] <trilobit`> snabel25: no worries. I did that once that grub had my partitions missnumbered and that corrected it.
[17:38] <Triox> sorry to be a bother again, but can anyone point me to somewhere that specifically deals with problems installing 8.04?
[17:39] <trilobit`> Triox: what problems ? I'd go at the ubuntu forums and see what's there.
[17:39] <snabel25> trilobit`: I see whats wrong... how is the stage1 created? By grub itself?
[17:39] <en1gma> anyone see my questionS about the ubuntu 8.04 file manager
[17:39] <snabel25> trilobit`: because I dont have that on sda2
[17:40] <Triox> when I go to do a full install, if the install seems to stop at one part.  If I boot it as a live CD and try clicking on install, nothing happens
[17:41] <jim_p> ok back
[17:41] <trilobit`> snabel25: you don't need grub on every partition. It just loads from the bootable and then transfers control to continue booting where the confs tell it to.
[17:41] <jim_p> Triox: use the alternative cd
[17:42] <unimatrix9> how can i use dvdauthor to get more then one file into the dvd structure?
[17:42] <Triox> OK, I'll give that a try.  Thank you
[17:42] <snabel25> trilobit`: okay
[17:42] <trilobit`> snabel25: But I'm not very familiar with the stages and how they are set up and from what piece of software.
[17:43] <snabel25> trilobit`: It seems that grub-install does that jobb
[17:43] <snabel25> trilobit`: but then I already have it and dont have to worry about that
[17:44] <trilobit`> snabel25: sometimes, two or more partitions with a boot flag, will confuse booting.
[17:44] <snabel25> trilobit`: In gparted its only possible to have one boot flag :)
[17:45] <trilobit`> snabel25: oh. that's good to know. With fdisk you can have them all with the bootflag.
[17:45] <bj0rn2> I'm having problems with a dual boot setup with windows. Normally things just work, ubuntu installs grub and it can boot the windows partition. For some reason it messed up with error 17 and I ended up restoring the MBR and windows boot sector. Then I installed GRUB again from the live cd using the installed ubuntu boot config - as expected the GRUB loader is back and it lists the windows partition (which I've checked is correct in the

[17:46] <trilobit`> snabel25: and also, it may change behaviour if you install it in the mbr of the disk or the boot sector of the boot active partition. For reasons I don't know, sometimes that alone fixes the troubles.
[17:47] <bj0rn2> BlueEagle: strange, any idea why?
[17:47] <BlueEagle> bj0rn2: Have you changed the boot order in the bios? That may confuse grub.
[17:47] <BlueEagle> bj0rn2: There's a limit to how long lines you can send in IRC.
[17:47] <bullgard4> 'man paplay': "paplay -- play back audio files on a PulseAudio sound server." What is a PulseAudio sound server? What audio  files are on it?
[17:48] <bj0rn2> BlueEagle: I messed with it before, but then I put it to the first harddrive and haven't changed it since restoring MBR and reinstalling GRUB
[17:48] <BlueEagle> !pulseaudio
[17:48] <nowimproved> anyone good with firestarter ?
[17:48] <ubottu> PulseAudio is a sound server intended as a drop-in replacement for !ESD - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio for information and installation instructions
[17:48] <bj0rn2> BlueEagle: I did have boot flag on first partition of both disks though.. removed it on second drive just now
[17:48] <osfameron> pulseaudio is also horribly broken at least in GG
[17:49]  * osfameron will eventually upgrade to HH which has the "official" release of it iirc
[17:49] <en1gma> with ubuntu 8.04 i got a couple questions about the file manager....1.) how do i call the file manager so it is in root mode....2.) im in 800*600 resolution and when i am in list mode i cant see enough files at the same time....the letters are to big...can i adjust the size of the letters just in the file manager only.
[17:49] <nowimproved> I am using firestarter I have two network cards in my computer and I get this error when I open firestarter Internal network device eth0 is not ready. Aborting..
[17:49] <Scunizi> bj0rn2: grub was placed on the wrong drive.  I have 3 drives and sometimes it's tough figuring out where to place the grub files..
[17:50] <bj0rn2> Scunizi: the wrong drive as in the MBR of the wrong drive?
[17:50] <BlueEagle> bullgard4: a soundserver is not a file server containing audio. A sound server is a hardware abstraction of your audio device or some such.
[17:50] <formode> Hello everyone. I'm trying to find a way to modify the sound coming in from my mic in Alsa. Anyone knoe how?
[17:50] <Scunizi> osfameron: my upgrade from GG 2 HH didn't help my audio. A clean install fixed it.
[17:50] <Scunizi> bj0rn2: yes
[17:50] <trilobit`> nowimproved: The name of the interface is eth0 correctly? Not maybe eth1 or eth5 or anything ?
[17:50] <BlueEagle> formode: And by "modify" do you mean you want to filter it or just adjust the volume output by it?

[17:50] <Moiga> How can I tell which version of *ubuntu I'm using?  (Hardy, Gutsy, etc)
[17:50] <bj0rn2> Scunizi: why would it do this?
[17:50] <osfameron> Scunizi: yeah, I doubt a mere upgrade will help the  mess my system is in :-)
[17:51] <Scunizi> bj0rn2: I checked mine by changing the boot order of the drives .. it found grub and worked.
[17:51] <soundray> !version | Moiga
[17:51] <ubottu> Moiga: To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -rc » in a !shell
[17:51] <formode> blueeagle, My mic's pitch is far lower then it should be, I would like to change it.
[17:51] <Moiga> soundray: thanks
[17:51] <nowimproved> yes trilobit` I have two network cards I am trying to use this computer a a router
[17:51] <Scunizi> bj0rn2: I have a mix of sata and ide drives.. the installer got confused for me.. I also had the boot flag on all drives.
[17:52] <sqawarlz> What is the major difference between KDE and Gnome based Ubuntu? I'm having some problems with Gnome and browsing Windows shares but I hear that is not a problem in Kubuntu, but I've always used Gnome, so I'm not sure of the differences between gnome and kde.
[17:52] <BlueEagle> formode: Oh.. I'm sorry, but I don't know how to do that.
[17:52] <bj0rn2> Scunizi: ok so I should try again now that I have only one boot flag?
[17:52] <formode> Blueeagle, Thank you anyways. :)
[17:52] <Scunizi> bj0rn2: nope.. cought that.. however now that there is only one.. redo grub again
[17:52] <trilobit`> nowimproved: Indeed, but is any of them named eth0 ? You might have eth1 and eth3 for example.
[17:52] <bullgard4> BlueEagle: Please explain what do you mean by my "audio device or some such."
[17:52] <bj0rn2> Scunizi: also, do you think I need to restore original MBR and windows boot sector first?
[17:52] <formode> Blueeagle, if it simplifies the problem, I only require it in WINE apps.
[17:53] <Scunizi> sqawarlz: both kde and gnome use samba to file share with windows.. sometimes it's a permission thing with windows..
[17:53] <Scunizi> bj0rn2: no
[17:53] <soundray> sqawarlz: KDE is a different desktop environment. It might be worth describing your browsing problem here before you decide to switch.
[17:53] <gaurdianAQ> hi I have a question
[17:53] <phenner> hey guys
[17:53] <nowimproved> how can I find out trilobit` I think I just have eth0 and eth1

[17:54] <soundray> sqawarlz: also, before you switch, you might consider testing a kubuntu live CD.
[17:54] <phenner> i have a 250gb slave in my ubuntu server.... can i use that as a network share on my windows network?
[17:54] <Orbixx> This is the second time this has happened. Why is it that my laptop will initially refuse to join a network, refusing the security/key, then suddenly join the network if I change the type of security to a different one (this works as a toggle), then when I reconnect after leaving the proximity of the area, it refuses the security again, even though it's completely correct?
[17:54] <Orbixx> Getting massive amounts of e-rage.
[17:54] <Scunizi> bj0rn2: on install did you also create a different /home partition? if not you might make that your next project. :)
[17:54] <gaurdianAQ> I am sick and tired of windows but all my programs revolve around windows but I want to use Ubuntu any suggestions?
[17:54] <jim_p> does xubuntu-desktop install gdm too or some other login manager?
[17:55] <nootrope> just jump, gaurdianAQ
[17:55] <bj0rn2> Scunizi: no I didn't, I have only a single partition.. why? :)
[17:55] <gaurdianAQ> I've tryed Wine and a Virtual Desktop and neither ran to well
[17:55] <LjL> jim_p: gdm i believe
[17:55] <Scunizi> gaurdianAQ: what programs on windows do you HAVE to have..

[17:55] <kiamo> hi
[17:55] <Scunizi> bj0rn2: having a separate /home makes it easy to reinstall if needed.. you won't loose your data
[17:55] <phenner> anyone got any ideas bout my q?
[17:55] <LjL> gaurdianAQ: your best bet for Windows games is to just use Windows, seriously.
[17:56] <gaurdianAQ> I know
[17:56] <bj0rn2> Scunizi: ah yes.. if you put your data in home and not all over the place ;)
[17:56] <gaurdianAQ> I just like ubuntu better
[17:56] <gaurdianAQ> less crashes
[17:56] <Orbixx> gaurdianAQ: Dual boot, or wine.
[17:56] <formode> guardianAQ, many games run remarkably well in WINE, for example, some people have reported higher FPS through WINE with WoW then on a native windows box.
[17:56] <Orbixx> gaurdianAQ: Windows does not crash unless you make it.
[17:56] <gaurdianAQ> ya I might go with a tool boot
[17:56] <gaurdianAQ> dual
[17:56] <Scunizi> bj0rn2: my rule of thumb on partitions for installation (space dependent) is 8-12gig for / (root).. 1 gig for /swap and the rest for /home.

[17:57] <zherman91> hi I was wondering if I could get some help
[17:57] <trilobit`> Scunizi: I also do a 10M for /boot   ^^
[17:57] <Scunizi> gaurdianAQ: if you're playing games you almost have to do a dual boot
[17:57] <jim_p> phenner: yes!
[17:57] <Scunizi> trilobit`: yep.. some do.
[17:57] <phenner> oh good... so my question bout the 250gb slave on ubuntu server... can i share that on a windows network?
[17:57] <winol> ok back ! i'm actually running Nvidia-settings atm :)
[17:58] <gaurdianAQ> hmmm I might set that up and use linux for my main operating system and windows for other stuff
[17:58] <formode> scunizi, really? I can play many many of my games in Wine.
[17:58] <Scunizi> phenner: yep.. google file server
[17:58] <phenner> gr8 thx
[17:58] <kiamo> please can anyone help me set up a samba share on ubuntu server? or point me towards a good tutorial (iv checked the ubuntu documentation)
[17:58] <zherman91> can someone help me
[17:58] <Scunizi> formode: of course...  but not all.
[17:58] <gaurdianAQ> k I remember before I had someone set up a dual boot and they made a drive that both windows and linux could access
[17:58] <gaurdianAQ> how do I do that
[17:58] <gaurdianAQ> ???

[17:59] <phenner> Scunizi: can i share the same drive over tinterweb?
[17:59] <zherman91> ok sorry
[17:59] <winol> I can see my second screen in the Nvidia-settings . How can i configure it now :/ it has no option but Acquire EDID
[17:59] <trilobit`> kiamo: I'd just settle and read  http://us6.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/
[17:59] <Scunizi> formode: well... if everyone played your games then wine would work.. but what if they wanted to play a game that didn't work in wine.. DUAL BOOT!
[17:59] <kiamo> thx trilobit` :)
[18:00] <formode> scunizi, if it don't work in wine it's not worth my time. :-P
[18:00] <Scunizi> phenner: I don't know what tinterweb is..
[18:00] <phenner> Scunizi: internet :p
[18:00] <zherman91> I have a cisco 350 series network card and I upgraded to hardy and it doesn't work now... I thinks it's the drivers but I don't know what the heck im doing
[18:00] <gaurdianAQ> hmmmm I wonder is it possible to set up a dual boot so that windows runs on one screen and linux on the other?
[18:00] <trilobit`> kiamo: np. But you may check around for shorter ones. That one is complete though, as it's what samba developers have put in place.
[18:00] <opr> phenner, anyone answered yet?
[18:00] <formode> guardianAQ that would be ridiciously processor intensive.
[18:00] <phenner> opr: yep
[18:01] <winol> I can see my second screen in the Nvidia-settings . How can i configure it now :/ it has no option but Acquire EDID
[18:01] <opr> ok
[18:01] <Scunizi> phenner: probably if you set it up as ftp.. I'm not really versed in that.. you might also ask in #ubuntu-server or #linux for more detailed answers.
[18:01] <phenner> ok thx
[18:01] <formode> GuardianAQ, but, yes. Install Linux and run QEMU with windows installed in it on one screeen maximized.
[18:01] <opr> phenner, connectedtelcoms.co.uk is configured
[18:01] <zherman91> anyone?
[18:02] <Scunizi> gaurdianAQ: you could do that using virtual box or vmware server but directX access is still limited.. check out winehq.com for program compatibility with wine
[18:02] <gaurdianAQ> oh nvm ok question 2 how do I create a drive that can be accessed from both windows and linux and is it possible to do it without reinstalling windows
[18:02] <gaurdianAQ> and without using Wubi
[18:02] <formode> guardianAQ create a shared partition in a format both can recognize. :)
[18:03] <Scunizi> gaurdianAQ: any partition formatted in ext3 can be read by linux and windows.. windows will need an ext3 driver..
[18:03] <winol> I can see my second screen in the Nvidia-settings . How can i configure it now :/ it has no option but Acquire EDID
[18:03] <trilobit`> gaurdianAQ: You can format a partition (other than the windows system and ubuntu system) as ntfs and then access it from both systems.
[18:03] <gaurdianAQ> k can I do all this without having to reintall windows cause I have it set up decently
[18:03] <Scunizi> gaurdianAQ: ntfs or ext3 .. either will work.. like trilobit` said.
[18:04] <Scunizi> gaurdianAQ: yes
[18:04] <gaurdianAQ> cool
[18:04] <trilobit`> gaurdianAQ: yes you can, use a partition manager to make free space in your disk if you don't have, and then create the partition and you're done. Of course, don't forget to format it.
[18:05] <gaurdianAQ> well I might give it a try but first this time Im backing up my stuff maybe I will use a gmail account to back it up
[18:05] <Scunizi> gaurdianAQ: or just use the ntfs space you currently have on windows
[18:05] <MaFiOtA_1987> :D
[18:05] <formode> So it's possible to skin Wine's windows theme?
[18:05] <MaFiOtA_1987> no way

[18:05] <gaurdianAQ> oh ya I have used Gedit before on my pentium 3 but it wont work on my good computer is there a reason for this?
[18:06] <gaurdianAQ> kudkillioughta: whats the issue?
[18:06] <formode> guardianAQ, o.o gedit doesn't work?
[18:06] <kudkillioughta> it's a sata 500gb drive hooked up through a usb adapter, and was previously used as part of a win server 2003 raid
[18:06] <kudkillioughta> ubuntu doesn't even seem to see the drive
[18:06] <winol> I can see my second screen in the Nvidia-settings . How can i configure it now :/ it has no option but Acquire EDID
[18:06] <trilobit`> gaurdianAQ: yes you can use the windows partition too as access it from ubuntu as well. In that case I'd just place all the files I access from ubuntu in one designated directory of choice, so I'd know what I have where.
[18:06] <gaurdianAQ> kudkillioughta: you said ur hooking it up with usb
[18:07] <kudkillioughta> yes
[18:07] <Scunizi> kudkillioughta: you might need to kill the partition and recreate it then format to your file system of choice.
[18:07] <ericjung> how can i find a driver for a Novatel USB727 EVDO device?

[18:09] <Scunizi> kudkillioughta: load Partition Editor and change the drive designation in the upper right to the one coorisponding to the usb drive.. it should be "unmounted" to work correctly.
[18:09] <MANIAKA7000> good
[18:09] <kudkillioughta> it shows my 80gb internal and my 160gb external
[18:10] <trilobit`> kudkillioughta: normally it won't give any problems. Partition creation/resize/deletion are well supported.
[18:10] <kudkillioughta> but it doesn't show any unmounted or anything like that
[18:10] <gaurdianAQ> so I should get a partition manager and then create 2 partions one for linux and the other for the shared drive?

[18:25] <ericjung> oh now i can post
[18:25] <en1gma> that size should be 25% default
[18:25] <trilobit`> lorenzo: what about with some other player ?
[18:25] <Scunizi> ericjung: when you go back to the main page there's a login button in the top right.. verifying doesn't eliminate the login process.
[18:25] <en1gma> soundray, do you know how to make the toolbar smaller?
[18:25] <jim_p> lorenzo: drivers for the vga. you need proper ones, not vesa. and possibly you need to change mplayers video output option
[18:26] <soundray> lorenzo: try 'mplayer -vo help' and see if any of the other output options provide better scaling

[18:57] <ubottu> edju: You can identify automatically by using your NickServ password as the server password in your IRC client. When identifying manually, do NOT send the command from a channel's tab, or a typo may give away your password.

[19:22] <PhQu> hello everyone, today I am going to go help someone with their computer which has been overrun by viruses and was considering switching them to Ubuntu, but they have a wireless internet connection (the non-wifi kind), does Ubuntu support that very well?
[19:22] <alpsy> does anyone here know of any alternatives to windows live messenger audio chat? are there any clients for ubuntu with which you can connect a voice call with windows live messenger ? (except aMSN)
[19:22] <sentient> what do you mean non-wifi?
[19:22] <sentient> PhQu:
[19:22] <dink> it just sits there and does nothign when you hit the update blocklists
[19:22] <Slade605> alpsy: Try 'aMSN'
[19:23] <PhQu> Sensei_, like 3g internet
[19:23] <trilobit`> alpsy: you can try amsn
[19:23] <shoaib42> trilobit`  herz the contene .... http://pastie.org/292339
[19:23] <PhQu> Sensei_, I think -_-
[19:23] <stwange_> hey can anyone give me a hand? I'm trying to connect to a wireless network using 7.10 but the wireless icon isn't on the taskbar anymore. I've tried network-admin from bash but I can't seem to add a new network - I've tried changing the key on an existing wireless network to the one of this network but it didn't work. Any ideas?
[19:23] <alpsy> Slade605, trilobit` : yes i was looking for other programs since aMSN doesn't work very well for me
[19:24] <ichbinesderelch> stwange_: tried it from terminal?
[19:24] <Slade605> alpsy: I don't think Pidgin supports voice, but you can give it a try
[19:24] <ichbinesderelch> stwange_: if i'm not totally wrong the applet command is nm_applet or nm-applet
[19:24] <sentient> alpsy: pidgin is text only
[19:24] <ishqip> <sentient> , same...
[19:25] <stwange_> ichbinesderelch nm-applet just hangs from terminal (as though it has loaded but no gui appears)
[19:25] <trilobit`> shoaib42: see what you have in /var/backups/   there must be some copies of that file there.
[19:25] <stwange_> alpsy - afaik, the closest *nix implementation of msn to the current protocol is pymsn (#pymsn) but I think you might have to compile it yourself and possibly even check it out using cvs. Try googling for it
[19:25] <Dracion> Hi
[19:25] <_Zeus_> !hi
[19:25] <ubottu> Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[19:25] <Dracion> I have a question in regard to Wubi
[19:25] <ichbinesderelch> stwange_: maybe use some other wlan tool or learn connecten with the terminal?
[19:25] <ishqip> <sentient> , no , it's loading better now...
[19:26] <ishqip> strange...
[19:26] <Dracion> Would it be possible to install KDE if I was using Wubi?
[19:26] <alpsy> stwange_: sounds promising, I'll take a look
[19:26] <ishqip> maby smth. wrong with install...
[19:26] <stwange_> alpsy - but aMSN is very close too if you use the beta version (ask in #amsn - it again involves compiling)
[19:26] <|Dreams|> is there any way to get ubuntu to connect to my wireless network when it boots up instead of having the type the password and SSID in all the time
=== tobias_ is now known as tobias
[19:26] <stwange_> ichbinesderelch I don't suppose you can point me to a tutorial or something? I'm close to reinstalling just to get nm-applet back
[19:27] <mithras> |Dreams| : NM should take care of it, though my nm-applet forgets it all the time too
=== AJC_Z0- is now known as AJC_Z0
[19:27] <|Dreams|> yeah sometimes it does sometimes it doesnt very annoying
[19:28] <ichbinesderelch> !wicd | stwange_

[19:28] <ichbinesderelch> lame ubottu
[19:28] <stwange_> I'll google it, thanks ichbinesderelch
[19:28] <ichbinesderelch> stwange_: try looking at wicd or wifi-radar
[19:29] <ichbinesderelch> stwange_: easy to handel, you could also take a glance at netcfg, but i think you will do better with wifi-radar or wicd

[19:32] <phoenixz> Highbreaker: lspci might help
[19:32] <Highbreaker> thx
[19:32] <SlimeyPete> Highbreaker: if you want more info, try "lshw". There is also lsusb.
[19:32] <DasEi1> Highbreaker: also hwinfo and lshw
[19:32] <trilobit`> shoaib42: cheers. That file is VERY important.
[19:32] <Joelito> ichbinesderelch: heh, but there are many files
[19:33] <ishqip> <trilobit`> , yes :)
[19:33] <ichbinesderelch> Joelito: don't think you can disable the output
[19:33] <trilobit`> ishqip: yes what ?
[19:33] <stwange_> haha no dice ichbinesderelch - "sudo apt-get install wicd" "Unable to connect." :(

[19:34] <benjas> hi
[19:34] <ichbinesderelch> stwange_: did you set correct device in wicd? and started the daemon?
[19:34] <ichbinesderelch> stwange_: is your network card correctly installed?
[19:34] <|Dreams|> you need to use apt to use ur dvd rom
[19:34] <gnu_zloy> hi all
[19:34] <TK_392> hello?
[19:34] <ichbinesderelch> stwange_: argh, no inet connection for wicd haha.. i was a little slow
[19:34] <|Dreams|> it should install off that if its on the dvd
[19:34] <stwange_> ichbinesderelch - I didn't manage to install wicd. I'm in one of those situations where I can't get online with that box and I have nothing to transfer files with
[19:35] <ichbinesderelch> stwange_: do you know your network essid?
[19:35] <trilobit`> shoaib42: pay attention that in the future days you have the file /var/lib/dpkg/status-old  created as well.
[19:35] <stwange_> ichbinesderelch I was slow too, I actually tried to install it!
[19:35] <TK_392> can someone please give support i need help
[19:35] <ichbinesderelch> stwange_: hope dies last :P
[19:35] <stwange_> ichbinesderelch erm I know the key and I could probably get the essid from this machine, that's the name of it right?
[19:35] <gnu_zloy> TK_392: what happen?
[19:35] <|Dreams|> put dvd or ubuntu cd in drive then type sudo apt-cdrom add
[19:35] <|Dreams|> then try again
[19:35] <|Dreams|> then u will b able to install network manager again
[19:35] <|Dreams|> :)

[19:42] <ichbinesderelch> Ashkore: what graphic cards are you using?
[19:42] <ActionParsnip> Ashkore: you need to install video drivers before you get a decent display

[19:43] <genii> en1gma: The ubuntu version

[19:43] <ActionParsnip> Ashkore: get websearching dude
[19:43] <TK_392> atheros

[19:43] <arvind_khadri> en1gma, ask #ubuntu-motu
[19:43] <TK_392> no on my laptop 32
[19:43] <en1gma> genii, ok thats good....what is the script that makes .deb files in the source that i get from apt-get
[19:43] <ActionParsnip> Ashkore: that will show you your graphics card, then websearch for that
[19:44] <TK_392> 32 bits
[19:44] <stwange_> ichbinesderelch I can't get anything to respond, this is in dire need of a reinstall. I have arch installed (almost) on another partition, I'm going to try and get that working instead, and if not I'll burn 8.04 and reinstall. Thanks anyway
[19:44] <garutachi> I can't figure out ow to get the ATi drivers installed on this HP laptop, I don't think the card is a 9xxx series
[19:44] <genii> en1gma: Usually checkinstall if for personal use
[19:44] <en1gma> yea
[19:44] <en1gma> it for personal use
[19:44] <ichbinesderelch> stwange_: uhm, wouldn't do that ^^
[19:44] <trilobit`> TK_392: you might have a HAL problem. The solution I'd give would be to try upgrade your madwifi driver.
[19:44] <en1gma> !checkinstall
[19:44] <ubottu> checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running!
[19:44] <ichbinesderelch> stwange_: try connecting by terminal
[19:44] <Ashkore> command not found
[19:44] <ActionParsnip> Ashkore: lspci
[19:44] <stwange_> ichbinesderelch why wouldn't you?
[19:44] <TK_392> what's madwifi ?
[19:45] <TK_392> omg
[19:45] <ActionParsnip> Ashkore: then read the output
[19:45] <TK_392> i just installed ubuntu today}
[19:45] <ichbinesderelch> stwange_: because it seems that only nm-applet isnt working anymore ;)
[19:45] <genii> TK_392: Research indicates your model does not ship with any atheros based wifi adapter, only intel or broadcom. Is this one you purchased afterwards?
[19:45] <DasEi1> TK_392:wireless-stuff
[19:45] <garutachi> I had a wifi issue and MADWIFI cured it
[19:45] <Ashkore> nothing appeared
[19:45] <Ashkore> l as in lowercase L?
[19:45] <stwange_> ichbinesderelch it's not the only thing wrong with this machine. In a moment of madness I install edubuntu, xubuntu, kubuntu and ubuntu at the same time and now... it's a shadow of its former self

=== Winston is now known as Guest77130
[19:46] <benjas> irc://Brasirc
[19:46] <trilobit`> TK_392: then you might need some reading around first. Blame it more on the hardware makers to provide proper drivers, and less on ubuntu and/or linux.
[19:46] <ActionParsnip> Ashkore: its always lowercase
[19:46] <stwange_> ichbinesderelch plus it was an upgrade from 7.04 and that didn't really work (as in not a reinstall) so there are bits of that left behind too
[19:46] <benjas> sorry
[19:46] <TK_392> so what can i do ...
[19:46] <Ashkore> NOTHING APPEARS
[19:46] <_Zeus_> !caps
[19:46] <ubottu> PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too.
[19:46] <ichbinesderelch> stwange_: than just remove them and finished ;) oookay.. upgrade kills everything from time to time, if you really want to you are allowed to do it :P
[19:46] <Ashkore> nothing happens
[19:46] <trilobit`> TK_392: hold on I'll point you to some references.
[19:47] <stwange_> ichbinesderelch can I remove them? Will it not remove parts of the gnome ubuntu?
[19:47] <TK_831> sorry im back
[19:47] <en1gma> does 'auto-apt run ./configure' use the configure file in my sources or the configure file online in a repo?
[19:47] <ichbinesderelch> stwange_: nope you won't remove anything by gnome desktop if you remove edubuntu, xubuntu, kubuntu, there are kinda independent, and if any package of them is needed by ubuntu it will not be removed
[19:48] <ActionParsnip> Ashkore: then use websearching to find what video card a PS3 has and set it up. You get very little in ubuntu without a little work

[20:00] <DasEi1> *alsa
[20:00] <vocx> I have two Ubuntu machines. One is a PC and has it installed and the other one is a laptop and running a Live CD. I've tried mounting the Hard Drive of the laptop, and then sharing it with samba so I can scan it for virus from the other machine. It still asks me for a password, but I'm trying this from a live CD so there is no password. Anyone get this? I want to mount and scan the drive from another machine, basically.
[20:00] <DasEi1> !ask|vexe
[20:00] <ubottu> vexe: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-)
[20:01] <ActionParsnip> vexe: install windows first and leave unpartitioned space for ubuntu
[20:01] <_moro_bana_> i was told that flash was broken the last time I asked, is it still so?
[20:01] <ActionParsnip> _moro_bana_: works for me
[20:01] <scientes> vexe you really just instal ubuntu AFTER vista and it all should work without doing much
[20:01] <Highbreaker> ActionParsnip: only 640x320 at the moment, it was 840 before but after 1 change at gksu displayconfig -gtk there's only 640 available
[20:01] <DasEi1>  _moro_bana_:flash in hardy? never broken to me

[20:08] <vocx> Basically I want to scan for virus the entire hard drive of a Laptop from another PC. The Laptop is running Ubuntu Live CD, the other PC is running Ubuntu. Do you know if it's possible to mount the entire Hard drive and then share it as a samba share? What happens with all permissions and ownerships? since naturally the Laptop running a Live CD, has only the default "ubuntu" user with no password. Do you think it is possible to scan the hard drive this way?
[20:09] <lundh> eh, pastebininit

[20:09] <elusive_elf> hey guys, I was wondering if I could get some help
[20:09] <ActionParsnip> vexe: run uname -a

[20:11] <ActionParsnip> scientes: its not something ive ever had to do, id reinstall and restore data from backup if you dont get anywhere
[20:11] <vexe> is that what you was looking for ?
[20:11] <vocx> scientes, not only that, but people seldom ask questions properly. Most people ask incomplete or don't give enough info on their questions.
[20:11] <trilobit`> genii: as it stands he has an atheros ar24x
[20:11] <robert1> My wireless adapter is recognized but I can't connect to the internet.

[20:11] <TK_677> the first one is
[20:11] <ejer> scientes: if you did not back them up you can try dd_rescue
[20:11] <ActionParsnip> vexe: yep, you need that package
[20:11] <majortool> how to i install a .deb package?
[20:11] <Cid> How do I get my PS3 to detect the interwebs?
[20:11] <vocx> !deb | majortool
[20:11] <ubottu> majortool: deb is the Debian package format, also used by Ubuntu. To install .deb files, simply double-click (in Ubuntu) or click (in Kubuntu) on them to start the GDebi utility.
[20:11] <majortool> !deb
[20:11] <lizi> Hi, do you know how I could get 2 users to use the same computer at the same time? I want one user per set of monitor/keyboard/mouse. I suspect this could be done with a large xorg.conf, but I have no idea how to do it, or if it actually is possible.
[20:11] <scientes> ejer is that potentionally destructive?
[20:11] <ActionParsnip> majortool: its rare, what are you installing?
[20:11] <TK_677> hey the first one is too long
[20:12] <robert1> can someone help me with my new wireless access please
[20:12] <majortool> ActionParsnip, new oo.org 3
[20:12] <ejer> scientes: not if you do it right, ie make an image of the drive and do stuff on that
[20:12] <ActionParsnip> majortool: sudo dpkg -i <deb name>
[20:12] <genii> trilobit`: Good, then all the work is not in vain :)
[20:12] <ejer> scientes: but what you are doing is recovery from a destructive problem...
[20:12] <Cid> How do I get my PS3 to detect the interwebs?
[20:12] <ActionParsnip> majortool: just making sure its not in repos
[20:12] <scientes> ejer there is no dd_rescue
[20:12] <trilobit`> genii: hehe. I know.
[20:12] <ActionParsnip> !info dd_rescue
[20:12] <ejer> scientes: you can install gddrescue, but you better read about it first
[20:12] <ubottu> Package dd_rescue does not exist in hardy
[20:12] <Cid> its wired into the router
[20:13] <Cid> How do I get my PS3 to detect the interwebs?
[20:13] <majortool> ActionParsnip, yeah, it's not there yet
[20:13] <ActionParsnip> majortool: yeah, im waiting for it to be in repos
[20:13] <vexe> cool thanks ill give this a try!
[20:13] <ejer> scientes: check http://blog.edseek.com/archives/2004/02/25/ext3-filesystem-bad-superblock-recovery/ also
[20:13] <scientes> maybe i should just reformat that partition cause it much les importand than the other partitions on the disk
[20:13] <majortool> ActionParsnip, it crashed the oo site when they released it
[20:13] <DasEi> lundh: sry, misse a tab, the two pastebins again ?
[20:13] <DasEi> *missed
[20:13] <ActionParsnip> vexe: when you install the guest additions of the booted system you will get sound and graphics drivers
[20:13] <lundh> DasEi1: first one: http://pastebin.com/f45b530c9
[20:13] <lizi> majortool: you need to remove your current apt oo.o, then sudo dpkg -i * from you oo.o3 Dl directory. there is also a gnome integration .deb in a sub dir you need to install
[20:13] <lundh> DasEi1: http://pastebin.com/f6a1f5a8
[20:14] <scientes> its the / compared to the /home and a windows partition on same drive
[20:14] <Cid> How do I get my PS3 with ubuntu installed to detect the interwebs?
[20:14] <robert1> can somebody give me some advise for configuring wireless access under gnome
[20:14] <robert1> please
[20:14] <ActionParsnip> scientes: http://www.garloff.de/kurt/linux/ddrescue/
[20:14] <vexe> nice i was wondering about that but was going to figure it out as i go
[20:14] <epsill0n> Hi! I just installed Ubuntu 8.10 Beta, and it cracshed all my OS - Kernel Panic. Is Thee some way how I can install it?
[20:14] <happosade> how to see bandwhigt load?
[20:14] <ActionParsnip> robert1: is it usb or pci?
[20:14] <robert1> or does somebody know a link with a good howto
[20:14] <robert1> pci
[20:14] <ActionParsnip> !intrepid | epsill0n
[20:14] <ubottu> epsill0n: Intrepid Ibex is the code name for Ubuntu 8.10, due October 30th, 2008 - Warning lots of broken software between now and October 30th! - Use #ubuntu+1 for support, *NOT* #ubuntu
[20:14] <robert1> ActionParsnip
[20:14] <majortool> lizi, damn ... why can't they just give me a binary installer?
[20:15] <ActionParsnip> robert1: run lspci and you will be shown what your wifi card is
[20:15] <lizi> majortool: i think there is one, but installing the debs is easier imho
[20:15] <FFEMTcJ> I want to make a backup of my desktop. I figure that rsync is probably the best that way after I make the initial backup, the backup proccess will be very quick. What folders should I back up? /home /etc ??
[20:15] <scientes> ActionParsnip, ejer, does ddrescue work in place, otherwise i will probably just install over it
[20:15] <vexe> so how would i go about installing xp on this 2nd partition where vista is?
[20:15] <scientes> vexe you can do that through the xp install most likely
[20:15] <ejer> scientes: if you can, just reformat, rescuing is many many hours of work
[20:15] <trilobit`> TK_677: You have a HAL problem. Hold on I find the location of the page that solved it.
[20:15] <scientes> ok ejer
[20:15] <vexe> i just dont want to mess this ubuntu up.
[20:15] <scientes> that sucks
[20:15] <robert1> ActionParsnip I already did it and lots off things like this too
[20:16] <scientes> totally sucks
[20:16] <FloodBot2> scientes: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[20:16] <ActionParsnip> scientes: you'll use that tool to recover data from the partition. i dont know about superblocks
[20:16] <majortool> yeah scientes, shame on you
[20:16] <happosade> how to see bandwhigt load?
[20:16] <ActionParsnip> robert1: what wifi card does lspci say you have?
[20:16] <Alexsson> can anybody help me with proxy settings @ ubuntu 8.04 (hardy), big problem
[20:16] <robert1> my connection worked once until i rebooted the system
[20:17] <scientes> i started up my comp and it was issueing a gazillino segfaults on boot and i restarted it and now i guess that corrupted it
[20:17] <ActionParsnip> happosade: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/bandwidth-monitoring-tools-for-ubuntu-users.html
[20:17] <scientes> or it was right then corrupted
[20:17] <robert1> atheros ar5008x and that's correct
=== k is now known as Guest55157

[20:27] <robert1> no wpa
[20:27] <ShinobiTeno> ActionParsnip: its spelled winDoZe btw(if you apply its bugs to the name), dont get me wrong, i asked for a GPLed tool...
[20:27] <Pici> TK_342: the package name is build-essential
[20:27] <robert1> just a simple wireless connection
[20:28] <trilobit`> TK_342: check this page too:   https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EeePC/Fixes
[20:28] <ActionParsnip> then !burner will give you a good choice
[20:28] <ejer> ShinobiTeno: you must make the UDF filesystem first, then burn the iso with something like http://linuxcommand.org/man_pages/growisofs1.html
[20:28] <DasEi> lundh: further ideas : sudo  apt-get install linux-ubuntu-modules-$(uname -r)

[20:28] <ActionParsnip> ShinobiTeno: if you applied the bugs in ubuntu to ubuntu it'd be a massive name
[20:28] <trilobit`> TK_342: use exact commands as shown here. capitalization, hyphens, quoting, and so on. They DO make a difference.
[20:28] <ActionParsnip> ShinobiTeno: at least be consistant

[21:29] <dblick> kitche, as I understand it, --host is like --target http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/manual/autoconf.html#Specifying-Names
[21:29] <Ashkore> @ActionParsnip I DID MASSIVE AMOUNTS of websearch 99% of it useless
[21:29] <BlueEagle> Mickmeister: It's a network packet sniffer which is able to take action based on packets detected and can be used to impliment an IDS.
[21:30] <kitche> dblick: --host is different then --build
[21:30] <Ashkore> The point of going onto Mirc is that one can recieve in realtime help in finding answers
[21:30] <mage__> lol
[21:30] <BlueEagle> Mickmeister: I do not. Then again I'm very not exposed on a college network.
[21:30] <N1ckR> any ext3meister here ?
[21:30] <alphamale3> BlueEagle: so my next question how can i couteract?
[21:30] <Ashkore> also i was dealing with a wired connection not wifi
[21:30] <kitche> dblick: but fiy uodn't have the lib32 stuff installed among some other tools then it'll be a bit hard to cross-compile
[21:31] <ActionParsnip> Ashkore: that too me less than 2 seconds and looks very thorough. and lay off the caps
[21:31] <BlueEagle> Ashkore: Is it any use in pointing out that mIRC and IRC are two different things?
[21:31] <mage__> N1ckR: I doubt it, but maybe your question doesn't need one?
[21:31] <BlueEagle> alphamale3: You can follow the terms of service to which you have agreed to.
[21:31] <N1ckR> I discovered recently than ext3 has write barrier support, was wondering why its not enabled by default and if it is worth using with journal=ordered and how that combination would compare to journal=data
[21:31] <mage__> BlueEagle: thats not even worth worrying about ;)
[21:31] <Ashkore> i think of them as collaqial terms
[21:31] <dblick> kitche, how do I install the packages I need to cross-compile for i686?
[21:31] <ActionParsnip> (21:25:09) Ashkore: Ubuntu won't connect to internet or see wireless card please help, on PS3
[21:31] <ActionParsnip> Ashkore: looks like a wireless request to me
[21:32] <alphamale3> BlueEagle: i could or they could just make me folow them like they just did. they manualy blocked my port 80 now.   i have no control

[21:32] <Ashkore> Or maybe it looked like I had 2 separate issues and I in order of importance wished to figure out the former first
[21:32] <histo> !anyone | edju
[21:32] <ubottu> edju: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[21:32] <BlueEagle> alphamale3: Then you can look to see if anyone provides a service that fits your wishes.
[21:32] <mage__> N1ckR: you should be able to query the ext3 file system and see if its enabledor  not

[21:33] <stwange_> does anyone know what to do with BusyBox when trying to install from the livecd?

[21:33] <N1ckR> mage__ , I know its not enabled, just wondering if it is worth enabling :)
[21:33] <johntramp> hey how can i remove all thumbs.db files on my pc?  something like `locate thumbs.db | xargs rm -` ?
[21:33] <kitche> stwange_: you don't do anything it usually means a bad burn or along those lines

[21:38] <ActionParsnip> bonez45: reinstall the driver maybe
[21:39] <bonez45> ActionParsnip: the only thing I did was reboot..
[21:39] <bonez45> and now, I just have the two lowest resolutions..

[22:14] <Jinstarro> i tried that too

[22:19] <Jinstarro> yes
[22:19] <soundray> epifanio: it won't be as bad when you install xubuntu (since it's smaller)
[22:19] <Some_Person> How do I get flash and java going on Ubuntu64 without switching to Firefox32?
[22:19] <LjL> portablejim: "man wget". wget can do that, and more

[22:21] <soundray> Jonty: you copied test.tex to your home, you did a 'cd $HOME' and 'latex test.tex' doesn't do anything until you hit Ctrl-C?
[22:21] <Some_Person> How do I get Flash and Java working in Firefox64 on Ubuntu64?
[22:21] <soundray> Some_Person: 'sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree' works on 64bit since gutsy

[22:22] <Jonty> soundray: it does This is pdfTeXk, Version 3.141592-1.40.3 (Web2C 7.5.6) <newline>  %&-line parsing enabled. and then takes roughly 10% of CPU
[22:22] <Some_Person> and java?
[22:22] <soundray> Some_Person: wait before you repeat your question
[22:22] <Some_Person> sorry
[22:22] <Jonty> soundray: but it's a tiny file which shouldn't take more than a few seconds, I'd have thought
[22:22] <portablejim> LjL, thanks
[22:23] <soundray> Jonty: how did you install latex?
[22:23] <tomek_> hi. why can't i see packages from medibuntu in Synaptic package listing (also can fetch them with apt-get)?
[22:23] <ubuntoRoxx> I have written a script myssh.sh that logs into a remote server using ssh. But it prompts the user for password. Can i in some way write the password is a parameter to the ssh command in the script so that it will not prompt the user for it?
[22:23] <urban_ryoga> how can I bypass a "file too large" error when backing up my files?
[22:23] <chaos1> 8-)hello. just a few weeks ago I was browsing the net and one of the sites i visit from time to time linked me to another site that is a listing of the programs in apt. It basically listed them and gave screenshots and a better intro to them. Not only did it do that it also was a clickable list for installation. I can't seem to remember the site's name and can't remember which site it was I went to. can anyone tell me what site this is?
[22:24] <Jonty> soundray: through  texlive-latex-recommended
[22:24] <Some_Person> I love how my widescreen display, my wireless internet, and my sound works out of the box in Ubuntu64, unlike any version of Windows!

[22:27] <soundray> ubuntoRoxx: no, but you can setup key-based authentication. There are instructions on the web, e.g. http://pkeck.myweb.uga.edu/ssh/
[22:27] <RHorse> ubuntoRoxx, I suppose you could write a perl script. But does ssh allow for such parameters in the command line?

[22:30] <fsufitch> hi; i got a problem with my dual-boot installation. I installed hardy a while ago to dual boot along with the preexisting windows vista installation that came with my computer. hardy worked beautifully, but vista couldn't load anymore. whenever i picked it from GRUB, it just rebooted my computer. Some grub tinkering got a dell "symptom diagnostic" wizard to come up, but no luck getting vista. I think i broke its boot sector
[22:30] <fsufitch> or something. anyone had a similar problem and can tell me how they solved it?
[22:31] <Jonty> soundray: lucky you

[22:34] <joebob777as7> soundray, what text file?
[22:34] <Jonty> soundray: definitely there. I think it's some issue with my installation, I have had problems in the past. How do I reinstall something and force it to redownload the packages, too?
[22:35] <soundray> Jonty: rm the packages from /var/cache/apt/archives and do a 'sudo apt-get --reinstall install packagename'
[22:35] <soundray> Jonty: have you tried an 'strace latex test.tex'? This should show you what it's doing while it appears to hang

[22:37] <Jinstarro> what do u think ?
[22:37] <melwtech35> can someone help me with a makefile compile error? or is there a better channel to ask this in
[22:37] <dulakian> Some_Person: if you have the space, use 4g swap, if not, 1-2g would be fine
[22:37] <Jonty> soundray: looks like it's trying to find a file...I'll reinstall from scratch
[22:38] <Some_Person> Would 1GB be sufficient for hibernation and good performance?
[22:38] <Piet44> does someone knows where the settings are configured for cron.d @ ubuntu 8.0.4 ?
[22:38] <soundray> Some_Person: if you want to enable hibernation, you need a little more than 4GB of swap. If not, 512MB should be plenty (you can still suspend if you don't do hibernate-to-swap)
[22:38] <balrog_> melwtech35: i can try.  pastebin the makefile and the errors please
[22:38] <Some_Person> Hibernation needs 4GB?!
[22:38] <dulakian> Some_Person: hibernation would require 4g, it would dump all ram to the swap
[22:38] <melwtech35> balrog_,  http://paste.ubuntu.com/57607
[22:38] <soundray> Some_Person: hibernation needs RAM size plus a bit of swap.
[22:39] <carrera> Greetings!
[22:39] <Some_Person> Seems unfair. If you have less RAM, you can have a smaller swap
[22:39] <dulakian> Some_Person: you can still have less swap, you just have to suspend instead of hibernate
[22:39] <Some_Person> Suspend doesn't power off the computer
[22:39] <Some_Person> So it would waste battery
[22:39] <soundray> Jinstarro: you mean 'nothing' as in, it returns the prompt with no output, or as in, it hangs as if waiting for input?
[22:39] <melwtech35> balrog_,  make file is http://paste.ubuntu.com/57612
[22:40] <Some_Person> Did I mention this is a laptop?
[22:40] <carrera> I finally managed to find a reliable link and downloaded the ubuntu-8.04.1-altrnate-amd64
[22:40] <Jinstarro> returns to prompt
[22:40] <Jinstarro> no output
[22:40] <carrera> but I can't set up softwareRAID
[22:40] <soundray> Jinstarro: did you assemble this machine yourself?
[22:40] <Jinstarro> no
[22:40] <Mickmeister> Does anybody know what is better? More Ram at a slower clock speed or less Ram at a higher clock speed? In general?
[22:40] <Jinstarro> a small company did it for me
[22:40] <Jinstarro> think they could have made a mistake?
[22:40] <Mickmeister> Assuming their fairly proportionate.
[22:41] <carrera> depends on your application Mickmeister
[22:41] <Some_Person> Since so much space is necessary for swap, is 11GB sufficient for the / drive?
[22:41] <soundray> Jinstarro: yes -- or maybe the hard disk drive is dead.

[22:41] <attickid> how much space do I need to install Ubuntu 8?
[22:41] <dulakian> Some_Person: I run a lot of server machines with 5g / so 11g should be plenty
[22:41] <ikonia> attickid: 4gb is the minimum safe ammount
[22:42] <carrera> Mickmeister, how much of slow RAM vs how much of fast RAM?
[22:42] <balrog_> melwtech35: what is in /usr/ucb/  ?
[22:42] <Some_Person> dulakian: Keep in mind this isn't a server machine, I would have a GUI and everything
[22:42] <dulakian> Some_Person: I install full gui on the servers so I can remote desktop, it works and it's plenty of space
[22:42] <melwtech35> balrog_,  nothing to my knowledge
[22:42] <Mickmeister> carrera, 2GB of fast Ram vs 3GB of slow Ram. Assume the speeds vary by around 200 Mhz.
[22:42] <carrera> how can I set up softwareRAID with the alternate-amd64 iso?
[22:42] <wilder> someone know hot to run download program ?
[22:43] <Some_Person> dulakian: 64 or 32? I am talking about 64
[22:43] <dulakian> Some_Person: I just dont' have the gui running on the server 24/7, I turn it off when I'm not active on that machine
[22:43] <wilder> whit terminal?
[22:43] <carrera> Mickmeister, I'd go for 2 GB of fast RAM
[22:43] <abhishek> how to install Radeon x 1550 series grafic card

[22:43] <dr_willis> wilder,  which program exactly, in short  chmod +x shateverwhat.run      then  ./whatever.run
[22:43] <ubuntoRoxx> is it possible to mount a homefolder on a remoter server to my local ubunto through ssh?
[22:43] <dulakian> Some_Person: I'm running 32
[22:43] <Mickmeister> carrera, the best thing to do would be benchmark tests.
[22:43] <abhishek> how to install Radeon x 1550 series grafic card
[22:43] <balrog_> melwtech35: make trying to run the file /usr/ucb/install and it cant find it...  can you tell me what heirloom is?
[22:43] <d0htem> im trying to make a file and im getting this error openssl/md5.h: No such file or directory
[22:43] <Piet44> someone knows here i can configure cron.d ? how much it'll be executed with hardy heron
[22:43] <dr_willis> ubuntoRoxx,  Yes. checn out sshfs
[22:43] <Some_Person> dulakian: Do you think 64 would need more space?
[22:43] <carrera> Mickmeister, that way, in case you add more RAM in the future at least you already have the faster stuff
[22:44] <soundray> ubuntoRoxx: yes, with sshfs
[22:44] <dulakian> Some_Person: I doubt it would be that big a difference
[22:44] <Some_Person> ok, cool

[22:47] <soundray> !repeat | Cid

[22:47] <attickid> how many ram do I need to run Ubuntu swiftly?
[22:47] <Some_Person> WTF? GParted detects a second drive (/dev/scd0) with 172MB unallocated
[22:47] <balrog_> melwtech35: just for kicks, whats in /usr/5bin
[22:47] <wall-e> so is there any way to boot vista partition through vritual box?
[22:47] <wall-e> does any know
[22:48] <melwtech35> balrog_, just an empty folder called sh
[22:48] <compengi> Cid, do you have java and flash installed?
[22:48] <Some_Person> I don't have a second hard drive afaik
[22:48] <dulakian> wall-e: no, you would do a seperate install into the virtual partition, you cannot boot a real partition afaik
[22:48] <epifanio> ho yes i already have ubuntu on virtualbox, and as dualboot too ... now i'm tring the usb experience
[22:48] <carrera> can softwareRAID be setup at install time with the alternate CD?
[22:48] <dulakian> Some_Person: what kind of laptop is it?
[22:48] <wall-e> how do you install xp
[22:48] <wall-e> it just gives me a hult error

[22:49] <attickid> how do I measure swap space accordding to my ram ?
[22:49] <melwtech35> Cid, http://kb.adobe.com/selfservices/viewcontent.do?externalId=tn_15507
[22:49] <Jakob_the_liar> how do i get amule to connect to frostwires network?
[22:49] <Jakob_the_liar> anyone?
[22:49] <kimi> hi
[22:49] <Some_Person> dulakian: ah, that would explain it. Could also be my SD card slot perhaps
[22:49] <dulakian> attickid: 1-2x ram is a good rule of thumb for swap
[22:49] <Jakob_the_liar> i've never used anything else but frostwire
[22:49] <ubuntoRoxx> soundray: It seems I need to install fuse in order to use sshfs. Is that correct?
[22:49] <epifanio> i read a lot about usb boot and the mac "efi" boot system ... maybe reformatting the mac and installing a boot loader on it .. is not possible ?
[22:49] <soundray> Jonty: do you have a file /var/lib/texmf/web2c/pdftex/pdftex.fmt ?
[22:50] <dulakian> Some_Person: yeah but it's weird for an sd card to show up as scd, it would normally just be sd
[22:50] <jblp> Test
[22:50] <soundray> ubuntoRoxx: yes
[22:50] <Some_Person> dulakian: Well why would a CD drive appear unallocated?
[22:50] <Jonty> soundray: yes
[22:50] <Cid> am I supposed to type that link while in PS3 Mozilla?
[22:50] <dulakian> epifanio: I haven't wanted to boot usb enough to reformat my mac, I don't know how effective a bootloader would be
[22:50] <Some_Person> dulakian: Note that I am running off the Live CD
[22:50] <dr_willis> cd disks dont have partitions like drives do..
[22:50] <kimi> have a problem with 8.04.1 and kvm - virsh console tell every time: no concole for domain
[22:51] <dulakian> Some_Person: no idea, laptop hardware is a little weird sometimes, but scd0 is a scsi cdrom device
[22:51] <soundray> Jonty: it seems to me then that the paths somehow aren't set up properly
[22:51] <melwtech35> Cid, sorry http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_15507 i typed it wrong
[22:51] <Piet44> can i add a cronjob in /etc/crontab ? i dont want it in the cron.daily  cron.hourly cron.monthly and cron.weekly folders
[22:51] <ubuntoRoxx> soundray: Can I just install that using the packet managaer?
[22:51] <Jonty> soundray: yes, where would I add /var/lib to?
[22:51] <dulakian> Piet44: add it to roots cron, not /etc/crontab
[22:51] <soundray> Jonty: don't know really... I've never had it anything but working out of the box
[22:52] <Jonty> soundray: oh dear
[22:52] <Cid> Do I type that link into Mozilla for my PS3?
[22:52] <kimi> need some help with kvm
[22:52] <ikonia> kimi: what's up
[22:52] <melwtech35> Cid, get a keyboard lol =p
[22:53] <Jonty> soundray: looking at the strace output it looks like it's finding /var/lib just fine
=== lon` is now known as lonforce
[22:53] <Piet44> dulakian: where can i find it?
[22:53] <epifanio> hooo Unetbootin has finished its first job ... reboot to install Xubuntu :-)
[22:53] <emma> Which would be a better way to install a very minimal ubuntu, upon which I can build a more customised system -- (1) Install the Ubuntu desktop alternate CD and (is there some option for installing command line only?).. or (2) Install the Ubuntu server and then put xserver on it, and build from there?
[22:53] <balrog_> melwtech35: make is erroring out at line 96 of the makefile.  search the repos for ucb, i got ucblogo, you may want to install it and then try to make install again
[22:53] <Cid> I have a keyboard my question was a yes or no question, now yes or no
[22:53] <soundray> Jonty: strange that it should still search in your $HOME
[22:53] <kimi> virsh console says : no console for domain
[22:53] <dulakian> Piet44: sudo crontab -e
[22:53] <Jonty> soundray: yes
[22:53] <Orbixx> emma: You might as well download the Debian netinstaller.
[22:53] <ikonia> kimi: what are you using for the hypervisor
[22:54] <melwtech35> balrog_, ok i will try
[22:54] <Jakob_the_liar> how do i connect amule to limewires network?
[22:54] <kimi> kvm ubuntu 8.0.4.1
[22:54] <emma> Orbixx: Yeah I did that, however, Etch has apps on it that are so old. I can't work with that. I want somewhat more current versions of software.
[22:54] <lonforce> is there any way to extract a rar archive which is split into many .rXX files in ubuntu?
[22:54] <Orbixx> emma: Lenny is due for stable release soon.
[22:54] <soundray> Jonty: are the permissions -rw-r--r-- on pdftex.fmt?
[22:54] <Jonty> soundray: access("./latex.fmt", R_OK)             = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
[22:54] <Jonty> soundray: perhaps not
[22:54] <bastid_raZor> lonforce; find the actual .rar file and it will do the rest.
[22:54] <Piet44> dulakian i already did that. i noticed it will be saved in  a temporary file and /var/spool/cron. but should it stay there after reboot?
[22:55] <melwtech35> balrog_, everything takes a while to download and install, ISA proxy = not working with linux
[22:55] <dulakian> Piet44: Yes it will stay there until you remove it
[22:55] <emma> Orbixx: so if I installed Leny now would it become the stable release while I'm using it, through updates or would it always be the pre-stable lenny?
[22:55] <lonforce> bastid_raZor: thanks man!
[22:55] <dulakian> Piet44: That's normal cron operation
[22:55] <ubuntoRoxx> soundray: ???
[22:55] <Orbixx> emma: I'm not entirely sure.
[22:55] <ikonia> emma: the ubuntu server install is not aimed at home hardware, so it would b better to install the desktop and remove what you don't want
[22:55] <Jakob_the_liar> anyone?
[22:55] <Orbixx> I'd imagine once you upgrade it, it would become stable.
[22:56] <ikonia> "be" better
[22:56] <Jonty> soundray: the formats are ok though
[22:56] <Jonty> soundray: the permissions, sorry
[22:56] <soundray> ubuntoRoxx: yes
[22:56] <emma> ikonia: thanks for the tip. Good insight.
[22:56] <ejer> or just install server and generic kernel
[22:56] <Piet44> dulakian: so you think it will stay there after reboot
[22:58] <julio14> Hello,does anyone know how to set up a motorola v3 as a modem under ubuntu?
[22:59] <Cid> Okay I do not have Adobe Flash Player Installed, I have a PS3 with Ubuntu 7.10 how do I get flash player for it?
[22:59] <LjL> julio14: with bluetooth?

[22:59] <julio14> LjL,usb
[22:59] <Jonty> soundray: after it finishes it starts looking in my home directory
[22:59] <Jonty> (it being the log)
[22:59] <dulakian> Piet44: it will definitely stay there after a reboot, that's how it works
[22:59] <emma> I'm hoping the ubuntu desktop alternate CD has some option to install command line only. There was a rumor of that but I've not seen that written any place.
[22:59] <melwtech35> balrog_, i installed the two only repos i could find and its still the same error, any other ideas?
[22:59] <Pici> !minimal | emma
[22:59] <ubottu> emma: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD
[22:59] <ikonia> emma: there is not
[23:00] <kimi> ikonia you habe a idea for my problem with virsh ?
[23:00] <euzao> why Ubuntu is so unstable now?
[23:00] <ikonia> emma: it's a 20 second command to remove the X11 components
[23:00] <euzao> Metacity is having problems with NVIDIA driver!
[23:00] <euzao> a very original bug, though
[23:00] <balrog_> melwtech35: so you did install ucblogo?
[23:00] <ikonia> kimi: I'm trying to figure out how virish connects to the "console"

[23:00] <ThePandemic82> I am having a problem with adobe flash.  I installed it from the package manager, but whenever I'm on a webpage flash works sporadically.  What can I do to fix this?
[23:00] <Piet44> dulakian: thanks
[23:01] <melwtech35> balrog_,  oh i installed csh, i will try ucblogo
[23:01] <Piet44> for your help (Y)

[23:04] <Cid> how do I download and install Gnash for the PS3 ubuntu?
[23:04] <soundray> Jonty: find out what you've installed -- probably with dpkg --get-selections | grep texlive | cut -f 1
[23:04] <ikonia> Cid: you need to use the PPC archs
[23:04] <ikonia> Cid: you may want to check out #ubuntu-ppc

[23:06] <kjs> guys, my / is getting filled by a svn repo in /srv and causing the system to crash! i have reduced the size for now... I am thinking that I can copy it to my /home (huge partition) and sym link it? copying it would a cp -avr /srv /home/srv do the business?

[23:07] <maco> mgroman: just funny, that's all...and rather off-topic for this channel
[23:07] <soundray> Jonty: you do seem to have everything that matters
[23:07] <Jonty> soundray: yeah, I'll purge everything and reinstall
[23:07] <soundray> Jonty: anyway, to remove all of those:  dpkg --get-selections | grep texlive | cut -f 1 | xargs sudo apt-get purge
[23:08] <melwtech35> balrog_,  i cannot apt get on that ubuntu box due to ISA Proxy incorrectly allocating namespace

[23:08] <balrog_> melwtech35: ah...hmmm...
[23:08] <emma> that the server has different support for hardware is good to know. I'm going to see if the alt-cd has any command line only option. If it doesn't then I'll do the !minimal thing.

[23:09] <nomike> I just sat up ubuntu 8.04 on my machine.
[23:09] <dink> yo
[23:09] <balrog_> melwtech35: ah, sorry, didn't know what you meant before.  hmmm, you can download stuff though, right?
[23:09] <Jonty> soundray: lots of dependencies
[23:09] <kjs> set up*
[23:09] <Zeroanhero> im running a liveCD of ubuntu, i want to mount my windows partition, but it wont let me, can anyone help me?
[23:10] <ikonia> emma: it's not different hardware support, some of the restricted modules packages are unavilable and certain kernel options are aimed at "bigger" or "enterprise" class machines so may / can cause slowdown/issue for the average home user setup
[23:10] <soundray> Jonty: perhaps just this will do:  dpkg --get-selections | grep texlive | cut -f 1 | xargs sudo apt-get --reinstall install
[23:10] <emma> ahha
[23:11] <melwtech35> balrog_, only via http firefox ehe

[23:11] <ikonia> emma: so eg: a wirless card may/probably not work due to the restricted driver not being available (as an easy example) - where as no-one in their right mind would run a server based on a wirless card, so why include it
[23:11] <soundray> Jonty: no errors?
[23:11] <balrog_> melwtech35: okay, im gonna try to get you the link...wish me luck...

[23:17] <Ashkore> how do i check that universe is enabled?
[23:17] <oc80x> i have a x86 server this time i am installing , failed RH Enterprise 3 x86 build..

=== garret is now known as no_one
[23:18] <dulakian> looonger: you can pipe the output of your commands to less like: ls -la | less
[23:19] <Ashkore> whats does gksudo do?
[23:19] <dulakian> looonger: or you can use the script command to record everything to a file
[23:19] <ikonia> Ashkore: graphical sudo

[23:20] <jrib> Jakob_the_liar: what's wrong with frostwire?
[23:20] <melwtech35> Jakob_the_liar, frostwire is a client not a network i thought

[23:20] <darmou> Is it a grub conf?
[23:20] <jrib> darmou: why do you need to?
[23:20] <melwtech35> K4z3, check to see if your vid card is whitelisted
[23:20] <maco> Ashkore: they gave you the wrong command. left out the gedit bit
[23:20] <darmou> jrib to use up less mhemory as it will be running headless
[23:21] <Ashkore> k where do i put gedit
[23:21] <maco> Ashkore: anyway, in Software Sources, is community maintained software enabled?
[23:21] <K4z3> @melwtech35: How would I go about doing that?
[23:21] <jrib> darmou: system -> administration -> services -> graphical login
[23:21] <darmou> thanks jrib
[23:21] <maco> Ashkore: you don't need to do things the typing way. there's a graphical way that i'm trying to tell you
[23:21] <abhishek> ikonia! RV505 is my type its not mentioned there
[23:21] <Jakob_the_liar> what is a p2p app that uses frostwires network
[23:21] <ikonia> abhishek: you need to find out what drivers are needed to run it
[23:21] <jrib> Jakob_the_liar: what's wrong with frostwire?
[23:22] <melwtech35> K4z3, what card do you have?
[23:22] <Jakob_the_liar> doesnt work with my windowmanager

[23:22] <sap> Hi, I have a 'webcam-server' application running on a machine which I can view locally and also on my lan but how do I view it from outside i.e. on the internet ?
[23:22] <Ashkore> k in Software sources what should I have checked?
[23:22] <Ashkore> @maco
[23:22] <maco> Ashkore: if you just go to system -> administration -> software sources, and make sure "community maintained open source software (universe)" is checked then hit "reload" on the popup, it should work
[23:22] <ikonia> sap: what application and what version of ubuntu
[23:23] <Jakob_the_liar> awesome
[23:23] <maco> Ashkore: er, you'll get the popup after you hit "close" on the main window
[23:23] <melwtech35> balrog_,  nothing installed in either /usr/usb or /usr/ucb/
[23:23] <Jakob_the_liar> plus i just want another app

[23:23] <K4z3> melwtech35, I have an Nvidia GeForce. Do you need the whole thing or just that part?
[23:23] <jrib> Jakob_the_liar: if you're answering my question, please include my name in your response
[23:23] <kitche> Jakob_the_liar: well frostwire uses limewire network and I believe that is the only app that does
[23:24] <darmou> if i wanted to enable it again jrib how would I do that?
[23:24] <balrog_> melwtech35: oh, yes, good catch. sorry for the typo.  i would contact the maker/s of heirloom to see what they were expecting in /usr/ucb.  sorry i cant be of more help.
[23:24] <melwtech35> K4z3, i believe it needs to be a nvidia 9xxx series
[23:24] <darmou> the graphical login that is
[23:24] <ikonia> sap: ask in #ubuntu+1 as 8.10 is beta
[23:24] <jrib> Jakob_the_liar: frostwire uses gnutella.  apt-cache search gnutella will get you some clients
[23:24] <melwtech35> balrog_, not a problem you have helped a lot :)
[23:24] <K4z3> melwtech35, Ok thanks for the help!
[23:25] <jdevel> hello

[23:28] <kitche> jdevel: myself I don't even have iwconfig or else I would double check
[23:28] <jrib> hunthunthunt_: no.  Just 'aptitude upgrade' will upgrade all the packages it can.  If you just want to upgrade package X specifically, then do 'aptitude install X'

[23:28] <Dreamglider> DasEi, once i rebooted i got res up but after a 2nd reboot it was at 800by600 again
[23:28] <jrib> !apt > hunthunthunt_
[23:28] <ubottu> hunthunthunt_, please see my private message
[23:28] <javierg_> Does anyone know why I can't select VNC in the protocal drop down menu using Terminal Server Client ??
[23:29] <jdevel> thank you kitche, I shall try this.
[23:29] <webfarmer> does anyone get the same screenshot of http://www.i-architects.co.za/cssissue.gif - when going to http://www.ridgemorwines.com
[23:29] <DasEi> Dreamglider: no way in Apps>preferences....  ?
[23:29] <ikonia> webfarmer: thats windows
[23:30] <ikonia> webfarmer: please join an appropriate channel such as ##windows for windows issues
[23:30] <Lykkefeen> Hi, which package contains the gcc compiler and other good stuff that I would need for doing C programming in Eclipse? It's named something like "development" and "build"
[23:30] <Dreamglider> DasEi, the highest i can get there is 800by600
[23:30] <heret|c> webfarmer, works fine for me
[23:30] <K4z3> Once I have installed Compiz, how would I go about turning it on so the effects work?
[23:30] <chaddy> webfarmer: no sidebars on the .com
[23:30] <hunthunthunt_> jrib:  Unfort did not solve my problem - latest GD library is not included in Ubuntu's PHP
[23:30] <balrog_> webfarmer: that would be a no because i dont use ie
[23:31] <DasEi> Dreamglider: so either edit xorg.conf manualy or get the driver from ati on
[23:31] <jasonkim> I can't install "libflashsupport" with "flashplugin-nonfree"..  Has something been changed?  Anyone has sound problem with firefox and pulseaudio?
[23:31] <webfarmer> chaddy what do you mean
[23:31] <jasonkim> on ubuntu 8.10
[23:31] <soundray> !b-e | Lykkefeen
[23:31] <ubottu> Lykkefeen: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first)
[23:31] <Pici> !ibex | jasonkim
[23:31] <ubottu> jasonkim: Intrepid Ibex is the code name for Ubuntu 8.10, due October 30th, 2008 - Warning lots of broken software between now and October 30th! - Use #ubuntu+1 for support, *NOT* #ubuntu
[23:32] <techsupport> how can i check the filesystem of one of my drives ?
[23:32] <recon69> Lykkefeen: well the GCC  compiler is just called gcc in the repos
[23:32] <DasEi>  techsupport:determine which it is or check it ?
[23:32] <DasEi> determine*
[23:32] <Dreamglider> DasEi, i have tried the ATI drivers, after installed them the screen went black or the monitor t into standby mode and i had to reinstall ubuntu
[23:32] <soundray> techsupport: why not check all of your drives? 'sudo touch /forcefsck' and reboot
[23:32] <ikonia> techsupport: what do you mean "check it"
[23:33] <jrib> hunthunthunt_: is php5-gd what you want?
[23:33] <kimi> kvm + virsh console - no console for domain / looking for a solution
[23:33] <DasEi> Dreamglider: nah, could also cp a xorg.conf back
[23:34] <hunthunthunt_> jrib: The version of php5-gd is out of date in Ubuntu - I need the latest
[23:34] <recon69> Dreamglider: you should hare rebooted into rescue mode or the command line and fixed it
[23:34] <DasEi> Dreamglider:after installing catalyst, gotta use its config-tool before rebooting
[23:34] <Dreamglider> DasEi, i tried that allso, i booted the 7.10 livecd and copied the xorg from there but that wont work now
[23:34] <Dreamglider> it worked the first time but not any more.
[23:35] <Lykkefeen> recon: sudo apt-get install build-essential was what I was looking for... ever since I installed that baby everything has worked just fine :)
[23:35] <DasEi> Dreamglider:why 7.10 on hardy ? and why not use an original backup from HD ?
[23:35] <jrib> hunthunthunt_: why is it out of date?
[23:35] <recon> Lykkefeen: Wrong person, sorry.
[23:35] <jrib> hunthunthunt_: what's missing is what I mean
[23:35] <techsupport> yes i want to determine what the file system is
[23:35] <hunthunthunt_> jrib: See - http://cumu.li/2008/5/13/recompiling-php5-with-bundled-support-for-gd-on-ubuntu
[23:35] <recon> recon: for some reason recon69 has almost the same name as me.
[23:35] <ikonia> techsupport: it's probably ext3 if it's an ubuntu file system, y ou can see what it is by typing "mount" in a terminal
[23:36] <noriyuki> !clone
[23:36] <ubottu> To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade » - See also !automate
[23:36] <Dreamglider> DasEi, i dont know, im not so keen when it comes to ubuntu and linux
[23:36] <carrera> why do I get "No root partition" when I configure RAID0 during install?
[23:37] <ikonia> carrera: did you hang /boot of a seperate partition ?
[23:37] <ikonia> carrera: are you using hardware/software/fakeraid ?
[23:37] <K4z3> After installing Compiz and customizing the settings, etc where would I go to enable these effects?
[23:37] <Dreamglider> i used it from 5.04 to 6.10 and after 6.10 i couldnt install it on my laptop so i was on windows again.
[23:37] <soundray> !ccsm > K4z3
[23:37] <ubottu> K4z3, please see my private message
[23:37] <carrera> i'm using software RAID on alternate-amd64
[23:37] <ikonia> carrera: is /boot on a seperate partition ?
[23:37] <carrera> no
[23:38] <DasEi> Dreamglider:in the beginnig we did a backup of xorg.conf (the file that configures all that stuff) named xorg.conf_save, you can simply copy it back at a black screen / x not starting
[23:38] <jrib> hunthunthunt_: you are saying two different things.  On the one hand, you want the latest version of the library.  On the other hand you want php to use the bundled version of gd.  What do you want to do?
[23:38] <carrera> but I thought I could put everything on RAID0
[23:38] <ikonia> carrera: nah, /boot has to not be on raid 0 or 5
[23:38] <DasEi> Dreamglider:don't even need a live for that
[23:38] <ikonia> carrera: I think there is a trick for raid5 but it's not good
[23:38] <hunthunthunt_> jrib:  I def want the latest :)
[23:38] <carrera> ah, I could only put /boot on RAID1, right?
[23:38] <ikonia> carrera: thats it
[23:38] <crxbonar> I am having problems getting ubuntu to boot   it just shows a square white screen in upper left....the system has been up and running for 6 months......was tring to change to a static ip address before this problem
[23:38] <carrera> thank's ikonia
[23:39] <carrera> ikonia, I wish you were around earlier. I kept asking for help to no avail
[23:39] <ikonia> sorry
[23:39] <crxbonar> can someone help me?
[23:39] <Dreamglider> DasEi, at the moment there are 17 xorg files
[23:39] <ikonia> carrera: can only be awake 21 hours per day
[23:39] <DasEi> Dreamglider:pastebinit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[23:39] <noriyuki> crxbonar, aha?
[23:39] <carrera> ikonia, I asked everyone
[23:39] <DasEi> paste, damn*
[23:39] <docta_v> i'm trying to add some module options for an ethernet driver
[23:39] <docta_v> forcedeth
[23:39] <jrib> hunthunthunt_: ok, bet then we come back to my original question.  What exactly is missing from the version ubuntu has?
[23:39] <crxbonar> whats aha?
[23:39] <carrera> I must have kille over an hour trying to set RAID0
[23:40] <docta_v> i added the line to /etc/modprobe.d/options
[23:40] <docta_v> but it doesn't look like the options are taking effect
[23:40] <docta_v> any suggestions?
[23:40] <hunthunthunt_> jrib: Image manipulation - filters, rotate etc
[23:40] <carrera> ikonia, I can put swap on RAID0, right?
[23:40] <crxbonar> can someone help me
[23:40] <Pici> !ask | crxbonar
[23:40] <DasEi> Dreamglider pastebinit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[23:40] <ubottu> crxbonar: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-)
[23:40] <kimi> kvm + virsh console - no console for domain / need help
[23:40] <Dreamglider> DasEi, http://pastebin.com/f1bf47bf2
[23:40] <noriyuki> crxbonar, say what you need help for???
[23:41] <crxbonar> or is this not a place to get help
[23:41] <ikonia> carrera: yes
[23:41] <carrera> ikonia, is that safe
[23:41] <carrera> i know it's faster
[23:41] <ikonia> carrera: keep in mind raid 0 is normally a false economy
[23:41] <ikonia> carrera: it's not really faster
[23:41] <carrera> really?
[23:41] <crxbonar> system will not boot
[23:41] <Reaverbot> Anyone knows a good manual for the shell and the konsole of ubuntu?
[23:41] <ikonia> carrera: nah, false economy
[23:41] <carrera> ikonia, please elaborate
[23:41] <ikonia> carrera: massive risk of total system loss too, which is a real pain
[23:41] <dulakian> carrera: raid 0 is just to stick two partitions together into 1
[23:42] <recon69> crxbonar: tell us what it is doing
[23:42] <crxbonar>  I am having problems getting ubuntu to boot   it just shows a square white screen in upper left....the system has been up and running for 6 months......was tring to change to a static ip address before this problem
[23:42] <dulakian> carrera: it's not faster, or better, and the cons are, one drive/partition breaks, they both break and yer filesystem is hosed
[23:42] <carrera> ikonia, but my last system with 2 x WD 200GB dirves was faster with RAID0
[23:42] <recon69> crxbonar: have you tried booting to rescue mode or command line?
[23:42] <ikonia> carrera: I think your kidding yourself that it is
[23:42] <carrera> hmm
[23:42] <ikonia> carrera: eg: looking for a performance gain thats not there
[23:43] <K4z3>  After installing Compiz Fusion, is there a certain thing I need to tick/enable so that the effects will begin to work?
[23:43] <dulakian> carrera: the only way it would be faster is in raid 1, but only reads would be faster, writing would not
[23:43] <Jefo> how to check sfv files??
[23:43] <carrera> ikonia, could be... cause I went from a single Samsung 200 GB to 2 x WD 200GB in RAID0
[23:43] <crxbonar> tried rescue and had the listed things fixed on screen
[23:43] <carrera> ikonia, the Samsung was very quite and slow
[23:43] <ikonia> carrera: there you go
[23:43] <crxbonar> not good with commands
[23:43] <rybotsky> can anyone tell me how to become root in terminal
[23:44] <docta_v> RAID0 is retarded
[23:44] <Pici> !sudo | rybotsky
[23:44] <ubottu> rybotsky: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome), or !kdesu (KDE)
[23:44] <docta_v> why does everyone want to run RAID0
[23:44] <docta_v> it only makes sense for very specific applications, certainly you would never want a desktop system to be RAID0
[23:44] <ikonia> carrera: personal opinion, unless you have multiple fast disk, and your using very high IO setup, with non-important data, it's not worth it
[23:44] <jrib> hunthunthunt_: don't know enough about libgd to help you.  I don't know which libgd you need to have those things, the bundled one or not
[23:44] <DasEi> Dreamglider: I changed few settings, try this xorg: http://pastebin.com/m7cc15921
[23:44] <recon69> rybotsky: sudo and then command you want to run as root
[23:44] <carrera> ikonia, why are RAID1 reads faster? does RAID1 actually multiplex reads?
[23:44] <K4z3> After installing Compiz Fusion, is there a certain thing I need to tick/enable so that the effects will begin to work?
[23:44] <ikonia> carrera: two identical disks to read from
[23:45] <ikonia> carrera: there is a write overhead too
[23:45] <hunthunthunt_> jrib: np - thanks for yr help :)
[23:45] <carrera> ikonia, does it read half of file from each?
[23:45] <docta_v> ikonia: supposedly you can use the raid10 personality in a two disk setup... i wonder if there's a performance increase
[23:45] <DasEi> Dreamglider: gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[23:45] <ikonia> docta_v: personal experience, no
[23:45] <ikonia> carrera: basiclly yes, technically no
[23:45] <recon69> K4z3: system -> pref -> appearance -> effects
[23:45] <DasEi> Dreamglider: maybe back it up again (save under different name)
[23:45] <Dreamglider> DasEi, is a reboot needed or can i just log out and back in ?
[23:45] <dulakian> docta_v: any performance gains would get eaten in overhead really fast
[23:46] <DasEi> Dreamglider: paste the pastebin, SAVE the file, close gedit, then :
[23:46] <carrera> ikonia, i'm building this server for work!!!
[23:46] <docta_v> so... one more bump on my question
=== BigBear is now known as Fartfurnace
[23:46] <DasEi> Dreamglider: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart                 (logs you off)
[23:46] <docta_v> i'm trying to add options to an ethernet module
[23:46] <ikonia> carrera: - well raid0 for me would never be used on any server
[23:46] <docta_v> doesn't look like the options are taking effect
[23:47] <ikonia> docta_v: what modules what options
[23:47] <icltlfatppl> I could contribute an answer to the forums but the section is read-only.  Just wondering if it's because I'm a newly registered user or what : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=752674
[23:47] <carrera> ikonia, did u mean write overhead for RAID0 or RAID1?
[23:47] <ikonia> raid1
[23:47] <carrera> ok
[23:47] <ikonia> carrera: although there can be a small write overhead with raid0 also, depending on certain situations
[23:47] <docta_v> ikonia: options forcedeth optimization_mode=1 poll_interval=500 max_interrupt_work=10
[23:48] <docta_v> the last one is not necessary but i know it's not taking effect because of a message i'm getting in dmesg
[23:48] <carrera> ikonia, why are RAID1 reads faster?
[23:48] <ikonia> docta_v: doing it at boot time, or /etc/modules.conf
[23:48] <KenBW2> icltlfatppl: no, it's because the articles are archived. there's no way to add to them
[23:48] <ikonia> carrera: multiple disks in sync to read the data from
[23:48] <docta_v> it's in /etc/modprobe.d/options
[23:48] <docta_v> is where i added it
[23:48] <ikonia> docta_v: is it just ignoring it,
[23:49] <carrera> ikonia, so RAID1 has logic for splitting the read?
[23:49] <icltlfatppl> ah, bummer KenBW2, that doesn't make sense when they are not answered, does it?
[23:49] <docta_v> i don't know how to tell
[23:49] <kitche> icltlfatppl: that is pre 4/21/08 so of course it will be read only it's more of an archieve
[23:49] <KenBW2> icltlfatppl: nope, especially when it's still relevant
[23:49] <icltlfatppl> kitche is there a version that is not archived?  I'm new to the system.
[23:49] <docta_v> but i know that the last option is definitely not taking effect
[23:49] <ikonia> carrera: yes
[23:49] <docta_v> because of a message in dmesg
[23:49] <kitche> icltlfatppl: of that thread no
[23:50] <ikonia> docta_v: out of interest, if you unload the module and re-load it with modprobe, do the options take effect or give any warnings ?
[23:50] <carrera> ikonia, ok, then shouldn't RAID0 reads faster by default?
[23:50] <jrib> hunthunthunt_: check out bug #74647
[23:50] <icltlfatppl> o.k.  kitche KenBW2, that's cool. thanks.  I'll send a msg to the forum admin.
[23:50] <ikonia> carrera: no, because it's not a synced file system
[23:50] <jrib> hunthunthunt_: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/php5/+bug/74647
[23:50] <docta_v> ikonia: hmm don't think i have a way of doing that at the moment
[23:51] <docta_v> unfortunately
[23:51] <ikonia> docta_v: blacklist the module, boot, unblacklist, modprobe it
[23:51] <ikonia> docta_v: just for interest
[23:51] <carrera> ikonia, do u mean RAID0 reads the file sequentially from the total number of drives (3 in my case)?
[23:51] <dulakian> docta_v: sudo rmmod modulename
[23:51] <ikonia> carrera: I mean the overhead of things like inode pointers split across 3 disks for one file can be a slow down
[23:51] <ikonia> carrera: more seek time than actual read time
[23:51] <crxbonar> yes my desktop will not load
[23:52] <ikonia> carrera: it has no parity like raid 5
[23:52] <docta_v> yeah i can't do that right now
[23:52] <docta_v> the system is remote and that will kill network access
[23:52] <recon69> crxbonar: can tou get to the cmd line?
[23:52] <ikonia> docta_v: ahh, now I see
[23:52] <carrera> ikonia, are RAID5 reads faster than RAID0???
[23:52] <docta_v> and due to a rack shuffle i don't have remote console setup yet
[23:52] <crxbonar> no
[23:52] <crxbonar> but dont know how
[23:52] <ikonia> carrera: Hmmm, thats subjective,
[23:52] <Fartfurnace> what filesystem allocates inodes dynamically?
[23:53] <dulakian> docta_v: cron a script that modprobes it every minute, rmmod it
[23:53] <ikonia> Fartfurnace: none that I'm aware of
[23:53] <ikonia> Fartfurnace: maybe clusterfs, but I doubt it
[23:53] <carrera> ikonia, should I go RAID5 with my 3x500GB drives?
[23:53] <crxbonar> dont u ctrl+ alt+fi
[23:53] <ikonia> carrera: for me yes,
[23:53] <dulakian> docta_v: make sure you rerun network after the modprobe to setup ips and stuch
[23:53] <dulakian> docta_v: stuff
[23:53] <crxbonar>  dont u ctrl+ alt+fi
[23:53] <Halycon> Can anyone help me setup my Nokia 6120c with bluetooth it is finally being detected but I am not sure what else I have to do to work with it
[23:54] <docta_v> i've had issues with doing that
[23:54] <crxbonar>  dont u ctrl+ alt+fi
[23:54] <recon69> crxbonar: when it's booting select rescue mode, after a while it will ask you if you want to continue normally or something else, pick boot to cmd line. this is 8.04 you using?
[23:54] <KenBW2> Halycon: what do you want to do with it
[23:54] <docta_v> even once you modprobe back the same module and restart network i've still had to reboot systems
[23:54] <dulakian> docta_v: then put off fixing it till you have access
[23:54] <crxbonar> yes sir
[23:54] <Halycon> KenBW2: I am trying to sync my contacts/calendar with it
[23:54] <docta_v> cool
[23:54] <KenBW2> Halycon: i can't help then sorry
[23:54] <RediXe> Is there a way to view and print a *.doc file? If I open it with open office the documents formatting doesn't look like it should so trying to find a way to view this document so I can print it like it does on a windows machine.
[23:55] <Dreamglider> DasEi, nothing changed
[23:55] <DasEi> Dreamglider:try again apps>preferences---           change resolution
[23:55] <ikonia> Fartfurnace: any chance you could change your nick to something a little less "risque"
[23:55] <carrera> ikonia, I was told RAID0 perf was n x root(n)
[23:55] <Dreamglider> DasEi, i cant
[23:55] <Fartfurnace> ikonia: one sec
[23:55] <dulakian> docta_v: I use a second nic in every server just for that reason, so I can work on the production network if I have to remotely and still get in on the internal subnet I use on the second nics
=== Fartfurnace is now known as GasFurnace
[23:56] <Dreamglider> DasEi, highest res is 800 by 600
[23:56] <GasFurnace> ikonia: that better?
[23:56] <dulakian> docta_v: though I have remote kvm on every machine
[23:56] <ikonia> carrera: ho ho, no thats for people who read the first line of crazy docs
[23:56] <ikonia> GasFurnace: pefect, thanks
[23:56] <carrera> ikonia, why would parity in RAID5 improve perf?
[23:56] <docta_v> dulakian: i have a console server but i had to move all our systems to new racks
[23:56] <recon69> crxbonar: after you select rescue mode,after it does some basic stuff it will ask you how to continue, dont select "continue as normal" but to cmd line. have you tried this?
[23:56] <docta_v> so i haven't set that up again yet
[23:56] <ikonia> carrera: it can be used for searching to (software raid only)
[23:56] <docta_v> it looks like other people are having the same problem
[23:56] <jdevel> hello
[23:56] <docta_v> http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-886027.html
[23:56] <docta_v> and the line in options doesn't work

[23:57] <crxbonar> no
[23:57] <jdevel> what command would I use to scan for devices to mount through USB?
[23:57] <ikonia> too
[23:57] <ikonia> yes
[23:57] <dulakian> docta_v: I hate moving racks, something always doesn't work right after
[23:57] <ikonia> ye
[23:57] <jdevel> sorry new to linux
[23:57] <dulakian> jdevel: lsusb
[23:57] <docta_v> dulakian: it actually went really smooth
[23:57] <crxbonar> what do i punch in on the command line
[23:57] <docta_v> which is good because i run a major website that does over 14 million uniques :)
[23:57] <ikonia> carrera: although don't depend on it, (hence why I said subjective)
[23:58] <carrera> ikonia, have u seen n x root(n) too?
[23:58] <jdevel> dulakian: thank you, what does that mean exactly? (ls = list?)
[23:58] <dulakian> jdevel: that's the command to list the usb bus
[23:58] <ikonia> carrera: that sort of performance isn't really "realistic"
[23:58] <dulakian> jdevel: yeah ls is short for list usually
[23:58] <jdevel> great
[23:58] <jdevel> just trying to get used to the command syntax
[23:58] <winrid> all i see is 'grub' when i boot
[23:58] <jdevel> i was pretty good with dos..

[23:58] <jdevel> 10 years on windows..
[23:58] <winrid> any suggestions? this is on a usb drive
[23:59] <ikonia> carrera: just being realisitc
