[00:00] <ASTURIAS> csilk: I'm trying to change the password using "passwd" and mounting the drive using the Live CD
[00:00] <bluescreenofdea> in order to see if the connection works ill have to unplug from this computer to check the other one
[00:00] <fluffycloud12345> Then restarting Pidgin.
[00:00] <Danskmand> Zackeroo: Nothing in /var/log ?
[00:00] <zackeroo> fluffycloud12345 : yes .... I have also completely removed and reinstalled Pidgin a dozen times
[00:00] <zackeroo> Danskmand : what should be there?
[00:01] <csilk> ASTURIAS,  I wasn't aware you could change the password without knowing it
[00:01] <zackeroo> Danskmand : I can show you the error if that will help ..
[00:01] <ASTURIAS> Yes, it is possible
[00:01] <drog> csilk, you can't, I'm sure ASTURIAS is very used to the security holes in windows
[00:01] <azharcs> !info xen
[00:01] <ASTURIAS> csilk: but an error occurs
[00:01] <fluffycloud12345> Zackeroo, have you tried installing Pidgin as root?
[00:01] <csilk> ASTURIAS,  drog   > https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/3039
[00:02] <Danskmand> zackeroo: Oh, it throws an error - ok...what are the words ?
[00:02] <dulak> ollie: you get that voodoo3 working?
[00:02] <zackeroo> Danskmand :  http://pastebin.com/d32f1c5e7
[00:02] <csilk> dulak,  he is still working on it
[00:02] <csilk> so far, no
[00:02] <LjL> how would i go about getting nm-applet to connect to my wireless network straight away without resulting in a keyring password being asked on login?
[00:02] <ollie> whats the difference between green and white people?>>>
[00:03] <zackeroo> fluffycloud12345  : I don't think I need to or should do that
[00:03] <csilk> LjL, right click the nm-applet> edit wirelss netowrks
[00:03] <zackeroo> fluffycloud12345  : it should be working as is ..
[00:03] <LjL> csilk: ok, and then?
[00:03] <csilk> add the netowrk to taht list
[00:03] <csilk> *that
[00:04] <LjL> csilk: it is in that list
[00:04] <csilk> You should no longer be prompter for a password then
[00:04] <LjL> csilk: but it's always been in that list
[00:04] <bluescreenofdea> k i rebooted but no change
[00:04] <csilk> unless you are using feisty fawn in which case it's an old bug
[00:04] <LjL> no, hardy
[00:05] <csilk> LjL,  so the keyring is asking for the wifi pass everytime you boot?
[00:05] <LjL> csilk, note again, it's asking for my *keyring password*, not the network's key
[00:05] <csilk> ah rite
[00:05] <csilk> sorry I missed that bit
[00:05] <dulak> isn't that expected behavior?  keyring pass once per session to protect your keyring?
[00:05] <dr_willis> dulak,  yes - i think it is.. but people seem to hate it.
[00:06] <LjL> dulak: it probably is generally speaking (for web passwords that's fine, for instance), but i don't really don't want that for my network...
[00:06] <LjL> i want my network to be connected asap

[00:08] <bobertdos> bluescreenofdea: yes
[00:08] <dulak> LjL is your keyring password the same as your login password?
[00:08] <DavidCanarias> Hi. I am using libdvdcss2 for copying DVD's but when I go to open the copied DVD on my computer it says error can't unlock file.? Any ideas

[00:11] <unitedpotsmokers> hi all, i have 2048mb of RAM, what is the best size of my swap partition?
[00:11] <MHz128> My laptop trackpad has been disabled somehow, is there a package available for track pad settings?
[00:11] <csilk> unitedpotsmokers, 1 gig
[00:11] <bobertdos> bluescreenofdea: Try sudo dhclient eth0
[00:11] <unitedpotsmokers> 1024mb?
[00:11] <csilk> 1024mb
[00:11] <csilk> yes
[00:11] <dulak> unitedpotsmokers: that depends on if it's a workstation or a laptop
[00:11] <unitedpotsmokers> ok thanks csilk
[00:11] <unitedpotsmokers> im using laptop
[00:11] <LjL> unitedpotsmokers: there's no "best" size, but if you ever want to use hibernation, you should have at least 2048mb
[00:11] <csilk> dulak,  what difference will that make?
[00:11] <darkhamm> hey people, every time i click in some place of the menu Places, Totem runs
[00:11] <dulak> unitedpotsmokers: you want 2g + a little for hibernation on a laptop
[00:12] <unitedpotsmokers> ahh ic..
[00:12] <darkhamm> how can i set gnome correctly?
[00:12] <dimm> i have Riva TNT2 M64 . what should i have if i install drivers from www.nvidia.com?
[00:12] <unitedpotsmokers> hibernation.. hmm im still thinking...
[00:12] <csilk> Who the hell uses hibernation?
[00:12] <LjL> anyone who doesn't use standby for some reason?
[00:12] <unitedpotsmokers> yeah, i dont ever use hibernation... err what is hibernation?
[00:12] <ollie> can i acces ubuntu irc on my itouch?
[00:12] <dulak> standby uses battery
[00:13] <Danskmand> csilk: Me, when trying to sleep in a train ;-)
[00:13] <csilk> haha
[00:13] <unitedpotsmokers> oh.. yeah u true.. dont need... so 1024mb should enough..
[00:13] <Danskmand> But youre right....
[00:13] <bluescreenofdea> ok
[00:13] <ollie> all i can use is hybernation
[00:13] <LjL> ollie: not without jailbraking it afaik (unless there are irc clients in the apple store) - except, you could use a web gateway to irc
[00:13] <ollie> all my other options became unavailable
[00:13] <unitedpotsmokers> ok friends... brb...
[00:14] <azharcs> When will Firefox 3.1 beta added to repos
[00:14] <willebanks> howdy all
[00:14] <Venin> http://rafb.net/p/IZ43XD45.html ..whats wrong?
[00:14] <LjL> azharcs: likely never, unless it fixes some serious bugs or security issues
[00:14] <rampage> hi, is it possible to export the display of a gui application to multiple x servers (say the one on the local machine and one on a remote machine)?
[00:14] <bluescreenofdea> bobertdos: it say no DHCPOFFERS recieved and no working leases in persistant database - sleeping
[00:15] <ByteJuggler> it's possibly with NX
[00:15] <ByteJuggler> *possible
[00:15] <ByteJuggler> dont think its possibly with vanilla X
[00:15] <ByteJuggler> *possible
[00:15] <rampage> ByteJuggler, that aimed at my question?
[00:15] <azharcs> LjL : So i can't use tracemonkey at all.
[00:15] <ByteJuggler> (for petes sake... what *is* it with me and the Y key)
[00:15] <csilk> Venin,  what are you compiling?
[00:15] <kitche> rampage: well yes but the application must be ran on every display\
[00:16] <ByteJuggler> rampage: yes
[00:16] <ByteJuggler> in NX terminology I think it's called "shadowing"
[00:16] <ByteJuggler> iirc
[00:16] <ollie> is there a way 2 acces this irc on my itouch?
[00:16] <bobertdos> bluescreenofdea: Okay, on to something else. Go to System->Administration->Network. Unlock it, and then under your ethernet connection, tell me what the settings are.
[00:16] <gwkalrod> if you can get an irc client on it, sure
[00:16] <gwkalrod> lol
[00:16] <csilk> ollie,  I'm sure google will answer that question for you
[00:16] <rampage> thanks ByteJuggler will read up on NX
[00:16] <ollie> how?
[00:16] <remoadmin> is it at all possible to eliminate bell (system) [lowering the volume doesn't help]
[00:17] <dr_willis> ollie,  there are web browser based irc clients also, but they may not be very useable
[00:17] <dr_willis> remoadmin,  'xset 0 0 0 ' gets rid of it in most apps for me.
[00:17] <ollie> like what?
[00:17] <gwkalrod> unplug the motherboard audio connector
[00:17] <ByteJuggler> see here
[00:17] <ByteJuggler> http://www.nomachine.com/ar/view.php?ar_id=AR11B00098
[00:17] <csilk> ollie, ask google
[00:17] <Rovin> Hello.
[00:17] <ollie> and how do i do a highlighted message?
[00:17] <ollie> i have asked google
[00:17] <ollie> nothing
[00:17] <darkhamm> if i click on a folder in Places menu, Totem start
[00:17] <csilk> ollie,  no one here really knows, that's why no one has given you the answer you are looking for
[00:17] <rampage> kitche, ByteJuggler, I wanted to leave say LinuxDC++ running on my desktop and access it from the laptop from time to time without having to vnc in every time. Is such a setup possible
[00:17] <darkhamm> how can i set gnome correctly?
[00:17] <Rovin> If I have Wubi installed - can I update to the next Ubuntu automatically?
[00:17] <ByteJuggler> rampage: I think that's what you're after
[00:17] <LjL> dulak: that doesn't work, it causes gdm to give me "Authentication failed" before even being able to login. however, i think this is already done by default on Hardy, except that i had automatic login enabled - i guess the keyring doesn't like that
[00:18] <ByteJuggler> ah yeah
[00:18] <gwkalrod> ollie http://arstechnica.com/journals/apple.ars/2007/09/11/mobile-colloquy-irc-client-released-for-iphone
[00:18] <Danskmand> Does someone know the answer to my question ?
[00:18] <bobertdos> darkhamm: We fixed this for someone else just recently by changing a certain program association, but for the life of me, I can't remember what it was.
[00:18] <ByteJuggler> for that you don't need multiple simulatneous connections
[00:18] <ByteJuggler> just a single persistent session (terminal server like)
[00:18] <ollie> thx
[00:18] <bluescreenofdea> automatic config (DHCP)    ip: 169.254.9.63      subnetmask: 255.255.0.0
[00:18] <ByteJuggler> a default NX session does that for you
[00:18] <ByteJuggler> thats exactly what I do in fact
[00:18] <gwkalrod> rampage, ssh + xming?
[00:18] <csilk> ollie,  google.com  search: irc on itouch 4th result
[00:18] <csilk> seriously, you didnt googl eit
[00:18] <ByteJuggler> my server runs an NX server
[00:18] <csilk> *google it
[00:18] <rampage> ByteJuggler, ok could you point me to the correct documentation if you have it at hand
[00:18] <bobertdos> bluescreenofdea: First, try setting it to Roaming.
[00:19] <ByteJuggler> and I just connect to it from whatever machine I want
[00:19] <ByteJuggler> on the session is a persistent X desktop session
[00:19] <bluescreenofdea> k
[00:19] <ByteJuggler> with browsers, bittorrent/whatever
[00:19] <willebanks> dhcp shouldnt return a 169 ip....your not connecting
[00:19] <fluffycloud12345> Bobert, this is what I was trying to say from the beginning. :D
[00:19] <DavidCanarias> Anybody with experience copying DVD's to give me a helping hand???
[00:19] <ByteJuggler> ok hang on 1 sec
[00:19] <Venin> http://rafb.net/p/IZ43XD45.html ..whats wrong?
[00:19] <dulak> remoadmin: you can add the pcspkr module to the blacklist: echo "blacklist pcspkr"  | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
[00:19] <darkhamm> nobody can help me about program associations?
[00:19] <gwkalrod> david, are they protected?
[00:19] <csilk> Venin, what are you trying to compile?
[00:19] <dulak> remoadmin: after a reboot no more system beep
[00:19] <bluescreenofdea> anything else?
[00:19] <Siir> oih
[00:20] <rampage> gwkalrod, i've tried xming and ssh but can't get it to display the gui thats already running. do you know how i could get it working
[00:20] <Venin> csilk: a patch for rtll8187 chipset
[00:20] <rampage> thanks ByteJuggler
[00:20] <eitreach> darkhamm: right-click on the file you wish to associate with a program, and click on the Open With-tab.
[00:20] <bobertdos> darkhamm: actually, try just changing the association for any folder in nautilus
[00:20] <DavidCanarias> gwkalrod: are you asking me?? If so then yes I am talking of a normal DVD you buy in the shops! Can you help?
[00:20] <bobertdos> bluescreenofdea: No, just that for now
[00:20] <bluescreenofdea> k brb
[00:20] <willebanks> ooh thats an ill eagle
[00:20] <dulak> LJL: not sure what to try to fix that
[00:21] <gwkalrod> david, are they videos?
[00:21] <darkhamm> bobertdos, eitreach, i've only this issue if i click on a folder in "Places"
[00:21] <DavidCanarias> gwkalrod, yes they are videos
[00:21] <gwkalrod> rampage, i know someone that has xming working gerat, want his aim?
[00:21] <csilk> Venin,  the errors are a series of syntax errors
[00:21] <darkhamm> everywhere i haven't problem
[00:21] <LjL> dulak: it's probably 100% intended - no password at all (not even the login password), no access to the keyring. it's reasonable policy... except well, it's an eeepc and i'd rather have it up and running when i flip the screen open
[00:21] <gwkalrod> david, VLC open disc and check the stream/save box, then burn the saved video file onto a dvd
[00:21] <ubuntu_todd> my wireless is ok with dhcp, but i wanner assign a static ip to my wireless so that i can do some port forwarding. Any suggestion?
[00:21] <rampage> gwkalrod, yes please
[00:21] <LjL> dulak: no huge deal, anyway
[00:22] <Venin> csilk: it has worked before... i dont get it.. maybe something to do with intrepid?
[00:22] <fluffycloud12345> Did Bluescreen get online?
[00:22] <gwkalrod> rampage, "dotaazn"
[00:22] <DavidCanarias> gwkalrod: I installed libdvdcss2 and it was working do you know anything about his?
[00:22] <DavidCanarias> this?
[00:22] <rampage> gwkalrod, thanks
[00:22] <csilk> venger,  try make clean then ./configure again
[00:22] <gwkalrod> nope, but vlc works fine for that
[00:22] <csilk> Venin, ^^ 3 up
[00:22] <willebanks> can u access your wireless router
[00:22] <ByteJuggler> rampage: http://www.nomachine.com/select-package.php?os=linux&id=1
[00:23] <ByteJuggler> there's some notes there on what you need to do and links to documentation
[00:23] <bluescreenofdea> bobertdos: nope that didnt get it either
[00:23] <rampage> thanks ByteJuggler, will read up now
[00:23] <ByteJuggler> also there's a howto somewhere on the internet, not that you need it really
[00:23] <ByteJuggler> you need to basically ensure you install openssh server
[00:23] <ByteJuggler> then install nx pacakges in correct order
[00:23] <ByteJuggler> and that's mostly it
[00:23] <Venin> csilk: doesnt use configure.. http://aircrack-ng.org/doku.php?id=r8187
[00:23] <zeno> what will happen to /dev/sda5 if i format /dev/sda4? will i lose /dev/sda5? if so how do i not and still use sda4?  http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=14t0rno&s=4
[00:23] <darkhamm> nobody knows i can chenge program association when i click on a folder in "places"?
[00:24] <ByteJuggler> (it used to be a bit more involved but the latest packages are basically installed like that)
[00:24] <SpinachHead> where can i see an officiall copy of /etc/apt/sources.list   ?
[00:24] <darkhamm> nobody knows where i can change program association when i click on a folder in "places"?
[00:24] <fluffycloud12345> Bluescreen, try a different PC on that cable and see if it can get online.
[00:24] <csilk> Venin,  that link told me nothing
[00:24] <bluescreenofdea> fluffy, im on a different one with it right now
[00:24] <bobertdos> bluescreenofdea: Okay, first go back to the terminal and do dhclient again. If that doesn't work, let's try a static IP.
[00:25] <bluescreenofdea> i just switch back and forth when i check the other one
[00:25] <bobertdos> bluescreenofdea: Also, you might consider rebooting your modem and router.
[00:25] <Venin> csilk: under r8187 is what ive done.. hehe
[00:25] <csilk> link
[00:25] <rampage> ByteJuggler, may i pm?
[00:25] <Venin> http://dl.aircrack-ng.org/drivers/
[00:25] <Venin> sorry.. wrong link
[00:25] <dulak> what are YOU up to?
[00:25] <Venin> csilk: http://aircrack-ng.org/doku.php?id=r8187
[00:25] <fluffycloud12345> Bluescreen, I don't want to confuse you, Bobert is giving great advice.
[00:26] <ericrost> can linux-restricted-modules be installed independently of nvidia-kernel-common? I have an nvidia card unsupported by the driver in the repos and an atheros based chipset wifi card I need madwifi for
[00:26] <csilk> Venin,  ok, the errors you were having are all C syntax errors
[00:26] <azhar27> !info netbeans
[00:26] <bluescreenofdea> how do i reboot the modem?
[00:26] <Lerxst51> ericrost: there are a seperate package set for linux-restricted
[00:26] <gwkalrod> hey rampage, did you im him?
[00:27] <zeno> ericrost: just install the other stuff it wants to install separate
[00:27] <bluescreenofdea> dhclient is the same
[00:27] <Venin> csilk: ive installed build essentials
[00:27] <ericrost> so the madwifi drivers are contained in a subpackage, good, I'll dig it up thx!
[00:27] <jclbrt> can ubuntu utilize 4 cores?
[00:27] <rampage> gwkalrod, i don't use aim, just reading through how to use it
[00:27] <bobertdos> bluescreenofdea: I usually just unplug for ten seconds or so, and plug back in. Modem gets plugged back in first, router second.
[00:27] <jclbrt> does it multithread
[00:27] <fluffycloud12345> Bobert, you are a patient man!
[00:27] <zeno> ericrost: sudo apt-get install linux-restricted-modules, hit no, then copy paste the other stuff deleting nvidia-kernel common
[00:28] <zeno> what will happen to /dev/sda5 if i format /dev/sda4? will i lose /dev/sda5? if so how do i not and still use sda4?  http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=14t0rno&s=4
[00:28] <dsch04> How can I install a .deb file ?
[00:28] <bobertdos> fluffycloud12345: I kinda have to be. Customer support is my job too.
[00:28] <ericrost> zeno:
[00:28] <lboken> hi all i got a problem when i try to install mysql5.0 server ( during the  installation i get  many time : error found option without preceding group in config file /etc/mysql/my.cnf at line :1
[00:28] <Lerxst51> dsch04: if you double click it, the package manager will open an guide you
[00:28] <fluffycloud12345> Right on Bobert.
[00:28] <dsch04> Ah, OK
[00:28] <dsch04> How about from a command line?
[00:28] <dulak> zeno: once you have a logical partition sda5 then sda4 is no longer available as a primary partition
[00:28] <csilk> Venin,  yeah, but still, the errors were all syntax errors
[00:28] <DavidCanarias> gwkalrod: I opened VLC and copy disc, bu what do I do after to import the DVD?
[00:29] <ByteJuggler> dsch04: dpkg -in package.deb
[00:29] <ericrost> zeno: when I did that, it was just the version of linux restricted for my kernel, and when I put that it still wants to install nvidia-kernel-common
[00:29] <ByteJuggler> sorry
[00:29] <Venin> csilk: ok.. what do i do? :p
[00:29] <ByteJuggler> dpkg -i package.deb
[00:29] <dulak> zeno: you cannot use sda4 at all, for anything once you have a logical partition, you would use sda6 as the next logical partition
[00:29] <csilk> Venin,  i suggest going to the irc chen etc.. of the software vendor or start googleing
[00:29] <dsch04> Damn, dependencies!
[00:29] <lboken> all i did becfor to have isnsalled the my sql server(i tough i did installed it yesterday) so i when to edit it to change the 127.0.0.1 to 0.0.0.0
[00:29] <csilk> *chan
[00:29] <Venin> csilk: tried both, hehe
[00:29] <kooldude> hey does anyone know how to set graphics card drivers
[00:29] <ByteJuggler> GDebi (the gui tool) will attempt to resolve those
[00:29] <Venin> csilk: but thanks
[00:29] <ericrost> zeno: it in fact depends on it
[00:29] <gwkalrod> david, simply go to file, open disc, and make sure you check the stream/save box, select location to save it, then let the disc play
[00:29] <csilk> Venin,  what did you find out?
[00:29] <gwkalrod> it saves the output
[00:30] <gwkalrod> no copy protection
[00:30] <Venin> csilk: nada
[00:30] <ByteJuggler> alternatively, install the dependencies manually
[00:30] <csilk> Venin,  somebody must of said something
[00:30] <ByteJuggler> then try again
[00:30] <Venin> csilk: no respons in irc chan.. googling the best i can
[00:30] <ericrost> is there any way to force apt-get to ignore the dependency?
[00:30] <ericrost> I can't have nvidia-kernel-common installed
[00:30] <zeno> ericrost: dulak ok, how do i use that space as sda6?
[00:30] <kooldude> hey does anyone know how to set graphics card drivers because mine freaked out
[00:30] <darkhamm> nobody knows where i can change program association when i click on a folder in "places"?
[00:31] <Lerxst51> ericrost: use the name of the dependencies to install the subpackages
[00:31] <dulak> zeno: just create a new logical partition it should automatically go to sda6
[00:31] <gwkalrod> program assocation for a folder?
[00:31] <DavidCanarias> gwkalrod: Thks I am going to try again. Let u know what happens OK
[00:31] <gwkalrod> kk, gl
[00:31] <ericrost> Lerxst51: its not a metapackage
[00:31] <zeno> dulak: ok... ill look up how to do that
[00:31] <exco1> Is there a way to enable multiple dictionaries (e.g. german and english) when writing (openoffice, pidgin, ...)?
[00:32] <ericrost> Lerxst51: the package linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24-16-generic actually contains the madwifi kernel drivers as well as nvidias fglrx
[00:32] <zackeroo> Danskmand : did I miss anything?
[00:32] <ericrost> its a REALLY poor packaging decision
[00:32] <gwkalrod> darkhamm, elaborate?
[00:32] <ericrost> because now I have an unusable system
[00:32] <dulak> ericrost: install it, then blacklist the modules that cause you problems
[00:32] <bobertdos> kooldude: What happened, exactly?
[00:32] <ericrost> its not the module
[00:33] <csilk> ericrost,  that sounds serious, you should file a bug report against the package
[00:33] <kooldude> hey does anyone know how to set graphics card drivers because mine freaked out, i have a nividia graphics card... it worked for a wile but then it freaked out and set the wrong driver!
[00:33] <ericrost> its the fact that the kernel headers for the mismatched nvidia driver are going to be installed
[00:33] <dulak> ericrost: that package is nothing but modules
[00:33] <fluffycloud12345> Where did Blue go?
[00:33] <ericrost> dulak: yes but it depends on nvidia kernel common
[00:33] <fluffycloud12345> Did you fix him Bobert?
[00:33] <Lerxst51> ericrost: you may have to compile and install madwifi then
[00:33] <kooldude> i have a nividia graphics card... it worked for a wile but then it freaked out and set the wrong driver!
[00:33] <darkhamm> gwkalrod: when i click on every folder in "Places" menu, Totem starts, not nautilus
[00:33] <ericrost> Lerxst51: thx
[00:33] <Jangari> !pastebin
[00:34] <DavidCanarias> gwkalrod: I put in the DVD, opened VLC went to File, open disc, checked stream/save Box and then I had to open the DVD and then got lost
[00:34] <bobertdos> fluffycloud12345: No, he probably disappeared because I told him to reboot his equipment.
[00:34] <darkhamm> how can i change this?
[00:34] <ericrost> Lerxst51: I can handle that but wasn't even thinking of it
[00:34] <Lerxst51> ericrost: no problem
[00:34] <ericrost> Lerxst51: that's why I come here when I get in a huff sometimes
[00:34] <fluffycloud12345> Oh okay, Bobert.
[00:34] <ericrost> I may very well file a bug against the package so that the modules are all subpackages
[00:34] <fluffycloud12345> I am interested in seeing if he will ever be able to get online
[00:34] <bobertdos> fluffycloud12345: I only set static IP's as a last resort, so I'll have people try pretty much anything before that.
[00:34] <Lerxst51> ericrost: a metapackage would make more sense
[00:34] <dulak> ericrost: yeah that's a good idea, kinda retarded deps on that
[00:34] <gwkalrod> after you chekc the box and choose your save settings in the settings button, just press ok
[00:35] <Venin> csilk: is it this one http://aircrack-ng.org/doku.php?id=r8187#passed_3_arguments_but_takes_just_2..._compile_error_message
[00:35] <Venin> csilk: it kinda looks similar
[00:35] <ericrost> dulak Lerxst51 I may very well get back the fact that its non free stuff, but this IS ubuntu, not exactly the bastien of idealism, so I hope they'll be a bit pragmatic
[00:36] <fluffycloud12345> Bobert, I don't blame you, I am the same way. DHCP service is pretty solid so unless it craps out or is disabled on the OS or his router etc he should be able to get online fairly quickly. Unless there are issues w the OS, the browser or spyware etc.
[00:36] <ericrost> off to get it working before I worry about the bug though, it's holding up my mythtv build
[00:36] <ericrost> THX!
[00:37] <DavidCanarias> gwkalrod: Seems so easy this way. The film came on I clicked play and it's playing. Is it recording it anywhere while its playing?
[00:37] <kooldude> bobertos: my card was working fine until one time i restarted and ubuntu said that it didn't have the right drivers for the display and card! then i had to do it manualy and it freaked!!!
[00:37] <zackeroo> look like I am back to square one
[00:37] <ericrost> is madwifi pretty much configure make make install?
[00:37] <Jangari> I'm stuck behind a firewall, a university one, but I'm tunnelling out via vpn, because I can't seem to run updates, I'm just getting thie: http://paste.ubuntu.com/59920/ I've tried using the automatic proxy (it should let all http through) and I've tried the cache proxy settings. Anything I can try?
[00:37] <bobertdos> fluffycloud12345: Plus, static IP's (even though they can be useful) leave 'ya more vulnerable.
[00:38] <gwkalrod> in the settings button next to the stream/save checkbox, you can select where it'll save the output file to
[00:38] <fluffycloud12345> Bobert, good point.
[00:38] <tscmga> how to check which version is current ubuntu ,like uname -a?
[00:38] <ericrost> awesome, madwifi even has .debs all packaged up!
[00:38] <tscmga> how to get the current version of ubuntu of my system ?
[00:38] <bobertdos> tscmga: lsb_release -a
[00:38] <zackeroo>  it has been 3 weeks and countless visits to this IRC chat .... but I am still unable to use Pidgin ... is there anyone here willing and able to go the distance in helping me sort this out? Here is the output of Pidgin in the terminal : http://pastebin.com/d32f1c5e7
[00:38] <kooldude> bobertos: my card was working fine until one time i restarted and ubuntu said that it didn't have the right drivers for the display and card! then i had to do it manualy and it freaked!!!
[00:39] <lboken> how do i resore  the original my.cnf from   mysql?
[00:39] <lboken> mysql-server 5.0
[00:39] <tscmga> bobertdos: :) . get it . haha
[00:39] <MHz128> Does an ad-hoc ftp server exist for ubuntu? what is it called?
[00:40] <DavidCanarias> gwkalrod: Is this the customize box: It says vd:///dev/scd0 what does this mean?
[00:40] <chris4585> anyone know of a way to stop/kill NetworkManager without root privileges?
[00:40] <yoyoned> MHz128: there are pleny of ftp servers, but I'n not sure what you mean by as hoc
[00:40] <Holiday> anyone using 8.10? I think I found a bug but not sure if it's an isolated problem or not
[00:41] <Jangari> what is it, Holiday
[00:41] <node357> Holiday, ask in #ubuntu+
[00:41] <node357> Holiday, ask in #ubuntu+1
[00:41] <yoyoned> !intrepid|Holiday:
[00:41] <MHz128> yoyoned, wireless ad-hoc connection.... maybe ssh?
[00:41] <MHz128> yoyoned,  for transferring files between two computers, only wirelessly
[00:41] <DavidCanarias> gwalkrod: Or should I be in the file section? where it says customize?
[00:41] <yoyoned> MHz128: what are you trying to do?
[00:41] <gwkalrod> david, sry i didn't make this clearer, in the settings button next to the stream/save checkbox, you check the "file" checkbox under outputs, and select the dir to save it in
[00:41] <bobertdos> kooldude: Which ones were you originally using?
[00:41] <kooldude> bobertdos: my card was working fine until one time i restarted and ubuntu said that it didn't have the right drivers for the display and card! then i had to do it manualy and it freaked!!!
[00:42] <yoyoned> MHz128: use scp
[00:42] <darkhamm> it's hard to set a program association???
[00:42] <MHz128> yoyoned, for wireless? what is scp?
[00:42] <oliver_> how do i edit xconfig?
[00:42] <oliver_> well xorg.config
[00:42] <bpat1182> Okay, I've got my triple monitors working; however, my right-most monitor is being placed as the left-most screen.  http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/59922 is my xorg.conf
[00:43] <bobertdos> oliver_: In the terminal, sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf or if you want graphical: gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[00:43] <csilk> oliver_, sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[00:43] <twfxfnxfnf>   Such a question is not uncommon among those curious. For example, “Is mathematics science or art?”, is the same type of question that has been broached by dabblers now and then. We can also detect such dilemma in the titles conferred to blathering computer jockeys: which one are thee: baccalaureate of science or baccalaureate of arts? It really makes no fucking difference.  Ultimately, fantastically stupid questions like these are not discus
[00:43] <kooldude> bobertdos: nvidia 6600 mx
[00:43] <kooldude> plus a graphics accelerator
[00:44] <DavidCanarias> gwalkrod: Apologies is not clear still. Once clicked on open disc the file has 6 tabs. In Disc I check the stream/save. I cant find OUTPUTS??
[00:44] <bobertdos> kooldude: Are there restricted drivers for the MX line? I don't remember.
[00:44] <gwkalrod> ok
[00:44] <kooldude> yes
[00:44] <gwkalrod> go to file, click open disc
[00:45] <gwkalrod> there will be a stream/save checkbox
[00:45] <kooldude> bobertdos: yes
[00:45] <gwkalrod> check it
[00:45] <MHz128> yoyoned, can a windows machine connect to an ssh server using an ftp client?
[00:45] <gwkalrod> next to that checkbox, there is a button marked settings
[00:45] <gwkalrod> click it, select file under outputs
[00:45] <dulak> MHz128: only if the ftp client supports sftp
[00:46] <dr_willis> I just use winscp to connect to ssh servers.. dont need ftp :)
[00:46] <dulak> MHz128: the quick and easy solution is to have the windows user download winscp, it looks just like a normal ftp client but uses ssh
[00:46] <bpat1182> Can anyone see a reason why my screen2 is being placed to the left of screen1 when it should be to the right of screen0?  http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/59922/
[00:46] <kooldude> bobertdos: yes
[00:46] <MHz128> dulak, thats awesome, you are the man
[00:46] <MHz128> :)
[00:47] <darkhamm> my issue is impossible?
[00:47] <kooldude> bobertdos: yes
[00:48] <spectral_> hi
[00:48] <donjr_KS> I burned a divx video onto a CD, from CD plays fine on my windows box, but won't play on my ubuntu box.  I do have the divx codecs from the repository, any other suggestions?
[00:48] <DavidCanarias> gwalkrod: ahaha, that seems better thks. Does this mean while the film plays it files at the same time where I told it to?
[00:48] <bobertdos> kooldude: Let's see.......How about using dpkg to reconfigure x11-xorg-nvidia (or whatever those packages are). I don't remember the exact names for Nvidia.
[00:48] <dr_willis> bpat1182,  i normally just drag the screens  around in the nvidia-settings tool.    I though it normally set up absolute settings coords.  But ive never used 3 screens befor.
[00:48] <bpat1182> dr_willis, yeah, I can do that, but I lose a bunch of settings I've already configured.
[00:48] <kooldude> gime a sec
[00:48] <bpat1182> dr_willis, I'd rather get this running right without nvidia-settings
[00:48] <phantomcircuit> any idea when there will be an installer for flash10?
[00:49] <gwkalrod> it should, yes
[00:49] <MHz128> dulak, how are wireless file transfer speeds?
[00:49] <dr_willis> bpat1182,  backup the xorg.conf, try the nvidia-settings see if it does it better.. then compare the 2 different xorg.confs perhaps...
[00:49] <gwkalrod> you can check in the meantime by lookingin that directory
[00:49] <jrib> phantomcircuit: it's available in intrepid due for release at the end of the month
[00:49] <bpat1182> dr_willis, worth a shot
[00:49] <kitche> phantomcircuit: probably 8.10 probably will have a security update for 8.04 soon
[00:49] <bobertdos> phantomcircuit: It'll be in the repos for Intrepid. You can get the deb file for now if you want.
[00:50] <phantomcircuit> i guess i should mention im on x86_64
[00:50] <phantomcircuit> so the package by itself doesnt help me much
[00:50] <DavidCanarias> gwkalrod: I looked in the directory and nothing is there? Should it be there already after 2 minutes?
[00:50] <dulak> MHz128: whatever the wireless signal supports, the encryption overhead from ssh isn't a big deal on a recent cpu
[00:50] <bobertdos> phantomcircuit: Native 64-bit support still isn't quite there, but you should still be able to apply the wrapper to it....I think
[00:51] <bobertdos> phantomcircuit: You may actually want the tar.gz in that case.
[00:51] <gwkalrod> hmm, you made sure you checked file under outputs, and selected a valid directory, then clicked ok, and ok at the open disc menu?
[00:51] <donjr_KS> any help playing divx on ubuntu?  Plays fine on my windows box, but not on ubuntu, and I do have the divx codec from the repo
[00:51] <gwkalrod> make sure you select DVD no DVD(menus) too
[00:51] <kooldude> it says it's already configured
[00:51] <jrib> phantomcircuit, bobertdos: that "just works" now.  In intrepid, you have 64bit flash through the package manager.  If you really need it on 8.04, you need to build the latest nspluginwrapper
[00:52] <kooldude> bobertdos it says it's already configured
[00:52] <bobertdos> phantomcircuit: At any rate, I'm sure since 10 is in Intrepid's repos, the wrapping will take care of it.
[00:52] <phantomcircuit> alright
[00:52] <kooldude> bobertdos: it says it's already configured
[00:52] <ASTURIAS> I tried changing the password using "passwd" and I receive this errro "Authentication server cnnot retrieve authentication info". I forgot all my passwords and using a Live CD.
[00:53] <bobertdos> kooldude: Please don't repeat yourself so frequently. Did you use dpkg-reconfigure?
[00:53] <jrib> ASTURIAS: just use "recovery mode" from the grub menu
[00:53] <ASTURIAS> I tried it also
[00:53] <jrib> ASTURIAS: and?
[00:53] <ASTURIAS> it ajrib:ppears the same error.
[00:53] <gmm46> hello
[00:53] <ASTURIAS> jrib: same error occurs in all the terminal I;ve tried
[00:54] <jclbrt> is Ubuntu Multithreading
[00:54] <jclbrt> ?
[00:54] <jclbrt> wow... got suddenly quiet in here
[00:54] <jrib> ASTURIAS: and you have no clue as to why?
[00:54] <jclbrt> must be something I said
[00:54] <FloodBot1> jclbrt: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[00:54] <ASTURIAS> jrib: No, that's why I'm here
[00:54] <kooldude> bobertos: same error
[00:54] <jclbrt> what?...  i didn't even type anything
[00:54] <dulak> ASTURIAS: were you using ldap for authentication?
[00:54] <ASTURIAS> dulak: ldap ?
[00:55] <dulak> ASTURIAS: if you don't know what it is, you weren't using it
[00:55] <oliver__> hi how do i force resolutions?
[00:55] <bpat1182> omg... even with absolute positioning, it still doesn't work...
[00:55] <ASTURIAS> dulak: no
[00:55] <bobertdos> kooldude: I may not be able to help much more. My experience with Nvidia cards is a bit outdated and I've never used one with Ubuntu.
[00:55] <jclbrt> oliver_ what do you mean by force resolution?
[00:55] <dulak> ASTURIAS: did you chroot into the partition where your system was stored?
[00:55] <ASTURIAS> dulak: yes
[00:55] <kooldude> bodertdos: k
[00:56] <jclbrt> is ubuntu multithreading
[00:56] <jrib> ASTURIAS: is that the full output except for the typos?
[00:56] <ASTURIAS> jrib: yes, it says something below that, I will try it again now and post it here...
[00:57] <Deadboys> anyone having problems with Intrepid Ibex
[00:57] <bobertdos> jclbrt: I've always kind of wondered that too, to be honest. I think it is at least on a certain level, because it recognizes both sides of a duo core chip.
[00:57] <Deadboys> i cant seem to get it to install
[00:57] <jrib> ASTURIAS: it really seems like you've changed the way users login though
[00:57] <Deadboys> im trying to install it on my compaq cq50
[00:57] <ASTURIAS> jrib: Nevermind, below it says, "Password Unchanged"
[00:57] <wintermute> hello. what shortcut keys allow you to change the screen
[00:58] <wintermute> like virtual screens left and right
[00:58] <wintermute> and there is this thing which is like expose in mac
[00:58] <Deadboys> can anyone help me with this
[00:58] <kooldude> whats the command to reconfigure Xorg?
[00:58] <DavidCanarias> gwkalrod: Slowly getting there thks, but a few hiccups. I am selecting a directory OK as you said but can't find anywhere click OK, I have to use the X at the top right of the page. Cant find OK at the open disc menu either?
[00:58] <wintermute> deadboys: what is the problem
[00:58] <jrib> !xconfig | kooldude
[00:59] <jrib> wintermute: ctrl-alt-<arrow key>.  For the expose-like feature, check with #compiz-fusion or look in ccsm
[00:59] <bobertdos> Deadboys: Go to #ubuntu+1 if you want help. I'd wait a week and a half for final release, if I were you, to be honest.
[00:59] <Deadboys> when i try to install intrepid it says my screen will run on low graphics mode, and i cant get past that screen
[00:59] <jrib> Deadboys: intrepid help in #ubuntu+1
[00:59] <DavidCanarias> gwalkrod: At least in the directory where I told it I can now see the file name. Does this mean something? jejeje?
[00:59] <koshari> ﻿!FixRes | koshari
[00:59] <gwkalrod> yes, that means it's recording to it
[00:59] <jclbrt> bobertdos: well most OSes recognize bother cores
[00:59] <koshari> ﻿!FixRes
[00:59] <gwkalrod> just let it play out, and you can then burn that file to another dvd
[00:59] <jclbrt> just whether they use it in the way it is suppose to is the question
[01:00] <jrib> ASTURIAS: googling "Authentication service cannot retrieve authentication info" (with quotes) turns up lots of hits.  See if any of them help
[01:00] <ASTURIAS> jrib: ok
[01:00] <DavidCanarias> gwkalrod: Thks a lot. Can I burn it to DVD with VLC?
[01:00] <bobertdos> jclbrt: You could always write a java app to figure that out, haha
[01:01] <gwkalrod> no, VLC is just a media player, you should be able to google "burning a video file" or something to that effect to find a program that can hurn it
[01:01] <gwkalrod> burn*
[01:01] <jrib> ASTURIAS: do /etc/passwd, /etc/group, and /etc/shadow all exist?
[01:02] <DavidCanarias> gwkalrod: OK I could try k3b or Gnomebaker perhaps. Would I click DAta DVD??
[01:02] <gwkalrod> i honestly don't know what kind of disc to make for a dvd video, you'll have to ask around
[01:03] <ASTURIAS> jribL let me check
[01:03] <DavidCanarias> gwkalrod: Thanks a lot in case you've been very helpful.
[01:03] <jrgp> how often should I restart my ubuntu server?
[01:03] <munchingfoo> could someone tell me the place in my file system xchat will be installed if I installed it using apt-get install?
[01:04] <noc> wew
[01:04] <gwkalrod> np, gl with burning
[01:04] <noc> it`s easy
[01:04] <dulak> jrgp if it's an actual real server, once a month is a good rule of thumb
[01:04] <DavidCanarias> gwkalrod: cheers!!!
[01:04] <dulak> jrgp: if it's not a real server, in production, however often you like
[01:07] <noc> hello all
[01:08] <ASTURIAS> jrib: /etc/shadow does not exist I just see a shortcut called shadow-
[01:08] <dulak> ASTURIAS: that's a huge problem, is /etc/passwd there?
[01:09] <ASTURIAS> dulak: yes, it is there and group too, but not shdow
[01:09] <dulak> ASTURIAS: ok in passwd, is the second field for your username a *?
[01:09] <jrib> dulak: I'm not familiar with /etc/shadow-.  On my system it seems to just be a copy of /etc/shadow.  Do you agree it would be a good idea to just copy it as /etc/shadow?
[01:09] <dulak> ASTURIAS: sorry my bad, is the second field for your username in passwd an x?
[01:10] <dulak> jrib: I'm trying to see if he has shadow enabled first
[01:10] <dulak> jrib: but yeah that's what I was gonna have him do, copy it over, and blank out his password for his username
[01:11] <ASTURIAS> dulak: here -> myusername:x:1000:1000:
[01:11] <dulak> ASTURIAS: ok good, you need to copy that shadow- file to shadow
[01:11] <gwkalrod> does ubuntu have a memory limit, similair to windows xp's 3.25gb limit?
[01:11] <CokeFTW> is this the live ubuntu irc help
[01:12] <ASTURIAS> dulak: open it, and then create a new file called shadow and paste all the content in it?
[01:12] <dulak> ASTURIAS: cp -a shadow- shadow
[01:12] <ASTURIAS> ok
[01:12] <jrib> CokeFTW: yes, welcome
[01:12] <dulak> ASTURIAS: then edit shadow, look for your username, blank out the second field
[01:12] <jrib> dulak, ASTURIAS: erm, why blank it out?
[01:12] <csilk> gwkalrod, no operating system has a limit
[01:12] <dulak> jrib: so he can login with no pass and then set one?
[01:13] <csilk> it's the filesystem
[01:13] <contrast> Greets, everyone...
[01:13] <jrib> dulak: he's resetting the password with passwd anyway
[01:13] <csilk> the new ext4 filesystem has a massive limit, several hundre petabytes i believe
[01:13] <CokeFTW> Okay good, I have this problem. I just recently crossed over to ubuntu from windows, but I can't seem to get any of my drives to mount in ubuntu, flash drive/external HDD. Does anyone know the fix to this?
[01:13] <dulak> jrib: good point
[01:13] <contrast> Anyone here use Kino? I'm trying to figure out how to select the audio track on an imported .vob.
[01:13] <ASTURIAS> dulak: should I try passwd again?
[01:14] <dulak> ASTURIAS: sure
[01:14] <gwkalrod> lol, os/filesystem, w/e, but ty for the anweser
[01:14] <jrib> gwkalrod: on 32bit there's some sort of limit.  On 64bit you won't have a problem
[01:14] <ASTURIAS> dulakL ok, one sec...
[01:14] <csilk> jrib,  that affects file systems upper size limits?
[01:14] <ASTURIAS> dulak: passwd: password updated successfully
[01:15] <jrib> csilk: no, I assumed his original question was about ram
[01:15] <dulak> ASTURIAS: ok you are set, somehow your shadow file got lost, you went to a backup and now you should be good
[01:15] <bouma> can i ask the best/right way to make my other drives mount automatically, so say file paths a valid after a reboot, is it to edit the fstab ??
[01:15] <csilk> jrib,  i assuedm hard disk space :)
[01:15] <csilk> *assumed
[01:15] <gwkalrod> yes, memory = ram
[01:15] <csilk> haha
[01:15] <csilk> fair enough
[01:15] <ASTURIAS> ok, I will try to log in again, I'll be back if anything occurs, thanks a lot!
[01:16] <jrib> CokeFTW: what happens when you try?
[01:16] <bouma> can i use a gui instead of editing fstab by hand ?
[01:16] <CokeFTW> once I plug the drive in it says something like : Mount error: etc
[01:16] <Digital7> I've got an open question -- a thinker -- for anyone here willing to participate. Here is the scenario: A hard drive is failing with I/O errors and/or MFT corruption. Only so much data can be copied before (1) the files on the drive all disappear or (2) all files become 0kb ghosts.  Copying all the files manually is unfeasible, because when the drive begins to fail; some corrupted 0kb files get copied. Any suggestions?
[01:17] <jrib> bouma: There is ntfs-config for ntfs formatted drives.  The other gui tool I know of is pysdm (but I have not used it recently).  Editing by hand is not that hard and I don't mind helping you
[01:17] <jrib> !who | CokeFTW
[01:18] <dulak> Digital7 write a script that copies files 1 at a time, checking if the copy is 0kb after the copy operation
[01:18] <CokeFTW> ubottu: okay
[01:18] <Tulimaq> CokeFTW, pastebin the error
[01:18] <xXBastinXx> rc.net
[01:18] <dulak> Digital7: you could also have it check for an existing file first, and skip any dupes so you can keep running the copy over and over to get the most data off it before full failure
[01:18] <keveycakes> can anybody help me set up a wireless internet? I have a new wireless card and the ndis wrapper program doesn't work with it, it's something else i have to use and i can't find any site to hekp me?
[01:18] <Digital7> dulak, could you pastebin an example script for me? I'm willing to try that method -- but I'm not yet familiar enough with Unix commands to do it.
[01:19] <Digital7> keveycakes: is it a laptop?
[01:19] <CokeFTW> Mount error: invalid mount option when attempting to mount the volume.
[01:19] <keveycakes> yeah
[01:19] <Tulimaq> keveycakes, what wifi card u have ?
[01:19] <csilk> why doesn't virtualbox work out of the box?
[01:19] <dulak> Digital7: that's more work than I'm willing to put in on a volunteer basis
[01:19] <keveycakes> let me check right now
[01:20] <Digital7> dulak: I'm actually doing a volunteer effort myself..this is for a friend of mine. Could you at least point me in the right direction..perhaps a site with such commands listed?
[01:20] <dulak> Digital7 that I can do
[01:20] <Scunizi> csilk: you have to "join the vbox" group in System/Admin/UsersGroups
[01:20] <Azhi_Dahaka> I'm looking for a good audio player... Rhythmbox lacks two important features for me: Jump to song and Equalizer...
[01:21] <Scunizi> Azhi_Dahaka: songbird (a Mozilla program), Amorak and many others.
[01:21] <Scunizi> audacity
[01:21] <csilk> Scunizi,  and that will fix the kernal driver problem???
[01:21] <Lerxst51> Digital7: you can use a recover system like Knoppix, and there is a system for backing up a .img from a corrupted hard drive, and recovering files from it. Let me see if I can find directions for it
[01:22] <Azhi_Dahaka> Amarok will run ok? I'm on Gnome...
[01:22] <aflack> hello?
[01:22] <Scunizi> csilk: you didn't mention that.. open Synaptic and search for virtualbox.. you will see the kernel driver for your kernel there.
[01:22] <dulak> Digital7: http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Bash-Prog-Intro-HOWTO.html and http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/

[01:22] <aflack> can someone help me im having problems with my sound...
[01:22] <csilk> Scunizi,  osrry I assumed everyone would of had the same error after ubuntu update
[01:22] <keveycakes> I updated some programs and my friend said most likely a kernel was updated that made the wireless drivers not work
[01:23] <Scunizi> csilk: ah.. you had it running and then it stopped because of the kernel driver.. ?  Load the new one and you'll be fine. I did this morning.
[01:23] <Tulimaq> CokeFTW, what file system u have on that drive
[01:23] <aflack> excuse me..
[01:23] <CokeFTW> Tulimaq: I believe its fat32
[01:24] <csilk> Scunizi,  well, I never used iot befor ethe update, but I assume it's the update that "broke" it
[01:24] <Digital7> dulak: Thanks
[01:24] <keveycakes> digital7, are you still there to help me? or did you leave
[01:24] <Digital7> keveycakes: I'm here.. kind of.
[01:24] <aflack> can someone please help..
[01:24] <der|kunstler> how do I make icons organize from right to left instead of left to right ?
[01:24] <Scunizi> csilk: the update did break it.. but after fixing try to load it and see what happens.. you may have to fix other things.
[01:24] <Digital7> keveycakes: I had the same trouble on my laptop
[01:24] <exodus_MS> aflack, post your problem. everyone here is working on a volunteer basis.... be patient
[01:24] <keveycakes> =/
[01:25] <csilk> Scunizi,  any idea why the play button would now be greyed out?
[01:25] <Amp> hi too all
[01:25] <Digital7> keveycakes: open up a private window with me so I can keep track
[01:25] <aflack> im having problems with my sound, it comes out all staticy and wrong...
[01:25] <Tulimaq> CokeFTW, and  what command u are using to mount it
[01:25] <contrast> Anyone here use Kino? I'm trying to figure out how to select the audio track on an imported .vob.
[01:25] <der|kunstler> how to I put my gnome icons on the right by default ?
[01:25] <Scunizi> csilk: you might have to reboot to get the kernel driver update to take effect, restarting the vbox service.
[01:26] <csilk> i'll give that a spin
[01:26] <CokeFTW> Tulimaq: I don't know how to manually mount so I have not used any command. Thats just what it tells me when I pop in the drive.
[01:26] <aflack> can someone help me im having problems with my sound .
[01:26] <exodus_MS> aflack, pls be more specific. sound card, ubuntu version etc. what are you trying to listen to. have you checked the physical connection
[01:26] <csilk> in fact, you know what Scunizi i dont have the patience to do this right now, I'm not gonna test this package on xubuntu
[01:26] <der|kunstler> exodus_MS, do you know how to set up the icons from right to left in gnome ?
[01:26] <csilk> if it doesnt work I'll just fix it when the bug report comes in
[01:26] <Scunizi> csilk: k.. try later or tomorrow.. :)
[01:26] <ayhan> hi all
[01:27] <aflack> i am not exactly sure what sound card i have, but i have the latest ubuntu all updated with 8.04, and any sound comes out staticy and wrong, im playing from my monitor speakers which work ok in vista
[01:28] <csilk> Scunizi, it's the upstream being really pissy with me about packaing their software, they said it "HAS" to work on xubuntu.. To be fait, the package request came from someone using gnome so I'm not too fussed about xubuntu users
[01:28] <csilk> *fair
[01:28] <Tulimaq> CokeFTW, it can happen when u dont use "safe remove" in windows, u need to force mount then
[01:28] <CokeFTW> Tulimaq: how do I force mount?
[01:28] <aflack> ﻿ i am not exactly sure what sound card i have, but i have the latest ubuntu all updated with 8.04, and any sound comes out staticy and wrong, im playing from my monitor speakers which work ok in vista
[01:29] <Scunizi> csilk: it should.. xubuntu uses mostly gtk libraries.. but vbox also works on kde so xubuntu is right there too.
[01:29] <der|kunstler> is it possible on gnome to switch your icons from the left to the right ?
[01:29] <aflack> ﻿ i am not exactly sure what sound card i have, but i have the latest ubuntu all updated with 8.04, and any sound comes out staticy and wrong, im playing from my monitor speakers which work ok in vista.... very bad sound problems help anyone?
[01:30] <Azhi_Dahaka> would amarok run ok, if i'm using gnome?
[01:30] <exodus_MS> der|kunstler, http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/3728/
[01:30] <contrast> Azhi_Dahaka: yep
[01:30] <ubuntu> The new ubuntu 8.04 will not load.  Now it will if I load it under VMWare?
[01:30] <bel666> could someone help me to get to work any gateway/router applitation on my ubuntu?
[01:30] <regeya> amarok will work fine with gnome
[01:31] <aflack> ﻿ i am not exactly sure what sound card i have, but i have the latest ubuntu all updated with 8.04, and any sound comes out staticy and wrong, im playing from my monitor speakers which work ok in vista
[01:31] <regeya> if you want to, the latest kde4-based amarok can even use gstreamer plugins if you want...the "regular" amarok ubuntu package just ships with the xine backend, iirc
[01:31] <Azhi_Dahaka> seems like Exaile is some sort of GTK Amarok clone
[01:31] <Tulimaq> CokeFTW, 1) Create a folder in /media using:-   sudo mkdir /media/force   2) Mount the drive on the folder using:-    sudo mount -t vfat /dev/path-of-drive /media/force
[01:32] <regeya> I'll have to try it again, Azhi_Dahaka because every time I've tried it...not so much, no.
[01:32] <regeya> it LOOKS a lot like Amarok tho :->
[01:32] <Azhi_Dahaka> Didi it have hotkeysand equializer?
[01:32] <aflack> ﻿ i am not exactly sure what sound card i have, but i have the latest ubuntu all updated with 8.04, and any sound comes out staticy and wrong, im playing from my monitor speakers which work ok in vista
[01:33] <regeya> no but to be fair the latest amarok doesn't either
[01:33] <Venin> any ideas? http://rafb.net/p/Hg81VR25.html
[01:33] <regeya> have an equalizer that is
[01:33] <regeya> the latest amarok does have hotkeys tho
[01:33] <csilk> Venin, error: asm/semaphore.h: No such file or directory
[01:33] <Curtis> i am going to install 8.04 right now and i have a really weak wireless signal... is there any way that i can not install all of the updates?
[01:33] <Azhi_Dahaka> ouch...
[01:33] <bel666> could someone help me to get to work any gateway/router application on my ubuntu??
[01:34] <domino14> i dont understand why i cant have rhythmbox playing music and firefox flash videos playing music too without having to restart either
[01:34]  * regeya cranks disposable heroes, makes a note to make sure it's in his playlist at work too
[01:34] <Azhi_Dahaka> On to the next, then... which good media player have an equializer?
[01:34] <domino14> i mean, this is a basic operating system feature
[01:34] <domino14> AUDIO
[01:34] <regeya> hehe
[01:34] <aflack> yeah my audio is messed up also
[01:34] <aflack> but no one responds to me for like 10 minutes so im going to try later
[01:34] <regeya> um...well...audacious has a software equalizer :->
[01:34] <Venin> csilk: know what that means?
[01:34] <Tulimaq> domino14, try aoss
[01:35] <csilk> error: asm/semaphore.h: No such file or directory   yes it means the file it is looking for cannot be found

[01:35] <domino14> ttwhats an aoss
[01:35] <Venin> csilk: yeah, hehe.. but why
[01:35] <domino14> this sucks, i mean, this is a clean install, how is this feature not default
[01:35] <CokeFTW> Tulimaq: so where "path-of-drive" is, do I replace that with "8.0 GB MEDIA" or however it shows up under my system tab?
[01:36] <csilk> Venin,  that's the killer question ;)
[01:36] <jrib> domino14: it's a known bug involving flash and pulseaudio.  It's resolved in 8.10 (released at the end of this month)
[01:36] <Tulimaq> domino14, install alsa-oss package and run programs  "aoss name-of -the program"
[01:36] <MrPeepers310> hello

[01:45] <kyrksaeterora> Domino
[01:45] <Don> domino, windows has to be installed first
[01:45] <kyrksaeterora> you want to install winXP on the second drive first, then re-install ubuntu and GRUB should pick up on the two installs

[01:48] <kyrksaeterora> MtStGabriel I don't know how well ubuntu deals in a 64 bit environment, though
[01:48] <tritium> complexity: it's in the partner repository
[01:48] <Don> domino, install windows forst
[01:48] <crtoe> still don't have opera 9.6, not even 9.5
[01:48] <complexity> tritium, do you use the update manager?
[01:49] <tritium> complexity: it runs in the background, yes.  Why?
[01:49] <crtoe> i'm running intrepid ibex too, so i can only hope jaunty will have it
[01:49] <complexity> i did it and now firefox does not work or the gnome-desktop
[01:49] <domino14> then i have to reinstall ubuntu, silly
[01:49] <MtStGabriel> I tried running the 64 bit version, and I used MagicDisk to mount the image, and I tried to install it as my only operating system, and i just got stuck at the command line with no instructions as to what to do except "help"
[01:49] <izinucs> MtStGabriel, you might consider that most programs are 32 bit and will run in a 64 bit environ. but with special libraries... more tweeking required.
[01:49] <MtStGabriel> I've used ubuntu before, but I've never installed it.
[01:49] <tritium> complexity: what was upgraded?
[01:49] <Don> can noone help?

[01:51] <complexity> ya codename hardy tritium
[01:51] <exodus_MS> Don, any luck?
[01:51] <Don> no
[01:51] <tritium> complexity: have you rebooted since the upgrade?  I'm fairly certain there's a newer kernel in what you installed, which would require a reboot.
[01:52] <complexity> yes I rebooted tritium right after the upgrade and now gnome desktop does not load , and firefox is broken
[01:52] <Don> exodus, I am on vista at mo' is there a file i can d/load to use on 8.04
[01:52] <crtoe> contrast: using opera 9.2x is like using firefox 1.5 at this point. it's sad that canonical still doesn't have it in the partner repositories
[01:52] <complexity> what browsers can I apt-get so i can look this problem up . firefox does not work

[01:57] <mellery> I lost sound in vlc and movie player, I think its pulseaudio, but I still hear everything on the soundtests, and startup sounds, how can I figure out the problem?
[01:57] <R0b0t1> (To compile for Windows from linux)
[01:57] <crtoe> CaptainMorgan: it's running a virtualization environment -- in effect two operating systems, what do you expect?
[01:58] <Don> exodus, thanks, I reboot in 8.04 and try that, cheers
[01:58] <crtoe> CaptainMorgan: you could tune the memory settings, don't know/remember the cpu settings (though amd/intel virtualization enabled cpu advancements do make it faster)
[01:59] <crtoe> CaptainMorgan: obviously, your battery, etc. would all last longer, but you'll get degraded performance out of vmware
[01:59] <CaptainMorgan> crtoe, I expect that if the vm was installing something or running an application - then it's acceptable... but the vm wasn't even doing anything... :/
[01:59] <complexity> rediculous
[01:59] <ark3qqq> Where do I find development man pages? Like man 2 open, for example.
[01:59] <Tulimaq> kyrksaeterora, what is your "iwlist scan wlan0" output
[01:59] <crtoe> CaptainMorgan: do you have an operating system running at least? if not, then i agree, that's weird. but if so, then obviously... you have another operating system running, what do you expect?
[02:00] <crtoe> ark3qqq: i think it's libc-dev
[02:00] <R0b0t1> Does anyone have a link that tells you how to get the MinGW compiler working? (To compile Windows programs on Linux)
[02:00] <CaptainMorgan> k, thanks crtoe
[02:00] <kyrksaeterora> ( Tulimaq ): 'iwlist: unknown command 'wlan0' (check 'iwlist --help').
[02:00] <ark3qqq> crtoe: Yep, that seems to work. Thanks much!
[02:00] <crtoe> no problem ark3qqq :)
[02:00] <mi1> hey.
[02:00] <complexity> ** (epiphany-browser:6861): WARNING **: Unable to connect to system bus:
[02:01] <Tulimaq> kyrksaeterora, "iwlist scan" then
[02:01] <mi1> may i know how or what is the updated version of Pidgin for feisty fawn?
[02:01] <the_darkside_986> Where does the nvidia-glx-new store screen modes? if it's not in xorg.conf I still need access to it badly to fix it.
[02:01] <__mikem> I need help. I can't get wireless to work at all on my laptop. I have a bcm4311 wireless card. I have the proprietary drivers installed, but i can't get the thing to talk to any networks
[02:01] <mi1> im currently using Pidgin 2.2.1 but there's limited functionality
[02:01] <mi1> anyone?
[02:01] <kyrksaeterora> Tulimaq comes up with a bunch of wireless networks near my house
[02:01] <crtoe> CaptainMorgan: i would suggest virtualbox or something other than vmware if you don't need all the features though. i've found from very unscientific, anecdotal, personal evidence that virtualbox is faster in most respects compared to vmware.
[02:02] <kyrksaeterora> ( Tulimaq ): i don't want to post the whole list thought 'cause it's info on six networks, so
[02:02] <RazorsKiss> vmware rocked virtualbox's house for usb recognition, though.
[02:02] <Tulimaq> kyrksaeterora, no need
[02:03] <kyrksaeterora> Tulimaq please pm me any other stuff, i will be afk a moment
[02:03] <__mikem> does anyone have an answer to my wireless problem?
[02:03]  * RazorsKiss is burning an alternate install cd for an old sony laptop
[02:03] <dulak> if you tune vmware right it will rock virtualbox, it's just by default it's not tuned for crap
[02:04] <RazorsKiss> banzai! ubuntu + fvwm-crystal
[02:04] <dulak> especially in a duo core environment, virtualbox doesn't use the virtualization features on new cpus
[02:04] <RazorsKiss> trying to get a cd to burn right - this old cd drive is a big fat pain for installing anything on.
[02:05] <Marks`Man> how to check driver cd/dvd room in ubuntu?
[02:05] <Marks`Man> someone..help me please
[02:05] <__mikem> How do I make my wireless card work!??
[02:05] <Marks`Man> wireless?
[02:05] <Marks`Man> for server?
[02:05] <__mikem> Marks`Man: no
[02:05] <RazorsKiss> cd-rom?  hrmm
[02:05] <kyrksaeterora> Tulimaq I am back
[02:05] <Marks`Man> so?
[02:06] <Marks`Man> RazorsKIss : yeahh...you know bro?
[02:06] <RazorsKiss> system>administration>hardware drivers
[02:06] <RazorsKiss> I think
[02:06] <RazorsKiss> at least on hardy
[02:06] <memeemeee> how do I get ubuntu to load into a different wm without reinstalling? is there a way to add the option to the login screen?
[02:06] <Marks`Man> when i insert my disc to cd-room
[02:07] <dulak> memeemeee: yes when you install a wm, it shoudl show up as an option in the login screen
[02:07] <regeya> memeemeee: on most the ubuntu-packaged windowmanagers, new sessions are added for windowmanagers
[02:08] <yoyoned> memeemeee: it will be added automaticly when you iastall a new WM
[02:08] <Marks`Man> it`s not fuctioned
[02:08] <RazorsKiss> Marks: you want to check the drivers for the cd-rom drive?
[02:08] <memeemeee> hmmm. not doing that.
[02:08] <NuryFV> hi
[02:08] <memeemeee> i was using jwm because it seems to be the most streamlined
[02:08] <Marks`Man> RazorsKiss : yeah..
[02:08] <NuryFV> somebody can help me with a question?
[02:08] <__mikem> NuryFV: most of the channel ops and people who generally know what they are doing are not around right now
[02:09] <memeemeee> is there a config file where I can add my own wm to that list if ubuntu doesn't see it?
[02:09] <RazorsKiss> Marks: if you want to check the drivers for your drive, go to system>administration>hardware drivers
[02:09] <NuryFV> ok, i sorry, excuse me
[02:10] <redDEAD> I was trying to reinstall Ubuntu 8.10 Beta on my Dell Mini 9. Instead of going to a LiveUSB desktop it keeps throwing me into a BusyBox Shell I get the error: [ 0.749487] ACPI: GC: GPE storm detected, disabling EC GPE Loading Please wait... BusyBox v1.10.2 (Ubuntu 1:1.10.2-1ubuntu4) built in shell (ash) Enter 'help' for a list of built-commands.
[02:10] <jrib> redDEAD: intrepid support in #ubuntu+1
[02:11] <__mikem> jrib: thank god, I need help getting my wireless to work
[02:11] <__mikem> I need help. I can't get wireless to work at all on my laptop. I have a bcm4311 wireless card. I have the proprietary drivers installed, but i can't get the thing to talk to any networks
[02:11]  * RazorsKiss is fighting with bad cd burns, even at 4x :/
[02:12] <Rideh> how do i purge an openldap database
[02:12] <jrib> __mikem: don't know anything about that card.  Did you check the wiki?
[02:12] <yoyoned> RazorsKiss: did you check teh md5sum
[02:12] <complexity> how do i downgrade stuff that updated in the update-manager it broke my gnome desktop and firefox .. wierd
[02:12] <Marks`Man> RazorsKiss : It`s not functioned bro...
[02:12] <Marks`Man> i`ll trying
[02:12] <__mikem> jrib: I've tried everything that used to work in 8.04
[02:12] <RazorsKiss> yoyoned, yes - good md5, bad burns.
[02:12] <Marks`Man> but...not detect
[02:12] <__mikem> but it did no good
[02:12] <memeemeee> is there a config file where I can add my own wm to that list if ubuntu doesn't see it?
[02:13] <jrib> __mikem: you're on 8.10?
[02:13] <__mikem> jrib: yes
[02:13] <__mikem> jrib: is there a known problem?
[02:13] <izinucs> memeemeee, what did you load that didn't show up?
[02:13] <yoyoned> memeemeee: do you know if you are using gdm or kdm
[02:13] <RazorsKiss> Marks: probably a bad driver file for your cd-rom drive, then
[02:13] <memeemeee> jwm
[02:13] <avb> memeemeee: just create ~/.xsession script :)
[02:13] <jrib> __mikem: try #ubuntu+1.  I thought I heard something about a new driver for broadcomm.  Don't hold me to that though
[02:13] <Marks`Man> i think so
[02:13] <memeemeee> thanks avb
[02:13] <yoyoned> memeemeee: what wm are you trying to use and how did you install it
[02:13] <avb> memeemeee: and do chmod +x on it
[02:13] <izinucs> memeemeee, shouldn't it show up in "sessions" on the login screen?  have you looked there?
[02:13] <jrib> memeemeee: jwm automatically gets added to the option list in gdm
[02:14] <RazorsKiss> brand new cd-drive, too, which is making me scratch my head
[02:14] <memeemeee> i installed jwm with get-apt install and it works if i call jwm from the cl
[02:14] <RazorsKiss> it's tanked two disks on integrity checks now - but the md5 is good
[02:14] <MindVirus> Hi. I just got an AES3500 fingerprint scanner.
[02:15] <MindVirus> Any drivers available?
[02:15] <RazorsKiss> that might be a toughie :D
[02:15] <jrib> memeemeee: Do you have a /usr/share/jwm/xsessions/Jwm.desktop file?
[02:15] <memeemeee> lm check
[02:15] <snuxoll>  MindVirus yes, actuall
[02:15] <Marks`Man> RazorsKiss : lol
[02:15] <Marks`Man> :))
[02:15] <MindVirus> snuxoll, ?
[02:16] <snuxoll> MindVirus: your fingerprint scanner
[02:16] <the_lost_one> hua! my Aspire One now rocks with ubuntu!
[02:16] <MindVirus> snuxoll, which drivers?
[02:16] <luddite> i have a aspire 4315 : tell me the_lost_one : does the wifi work OTB?
[02:16] <memeemeee> jrib, yes i have that file
[02:16] <snuxoll> MindVirus: gimme a minute
[02:17]  * RazorsKiss is hoping the install makes it all the way through this time
[02:17] <MindVirus> snuxoll, thanks a lot!
[02:17] <snuxoll> MindVirus: most how-to's are based around the thinkpad fingerprint readers
[02:17] <the_lost_one> luddite: nope, i had to build madwifi mysqlf to get it work
[02:17] <RazorsKiss> good download, burned at 4x, to make DOUBLE sure
[02:17] <MindVirus> snuxoll, I know -- that's the sad part.
[02:17] <luddite> fuck thats shit
[02:17] <jrib> !ohmy | luddite
[02:17] <luddite> the_lost_one : anything else? like the microphone?
[02:17] <jrib> memeemeee: so at the gdm login screen, go to "options" and then "select session"
[02:17] <Digital7> Is there a bash command to stop/start feeding electricity to a USB device?
[02:18] <RazorsKiss> and the diskcheck still failed
[02:18] <luddite> jrib: ;-)
[02:18] <snuxoll> MindVirus: http://www.reactivated.net/fprint/wiki/Main_Page
[02:18] <memeemeee> i did. it wasn't there. I'll try restarting
[02:18] <snuxoll> MindVirus: best I can do for you
[02:18] <the_lost_one> luddite: yeah, mic too, and fan control
[02:18] <MindVirus> That's more than good enough, snuxoll. Thanks.
[02:18] <snuxoll> MindVirus: your reader is supposedly supported by libfprint, so it should work for you
[02:18] <jrib> memeemeee: yes, gdm may have to be reloaded if you just logged out
[02:18] <luddite> and fan- oh but that actually worked in 8.04
[02:18] <Marks`Man> snuxoll : that`s mindirus for ubuntu?
[02:19] <the_lost_one> luddite: not for me then, lol
[02:19] <Marks`Man> mindvirus*
[02:19] <luddite> the_lost_one : oh well - is yours a 4315?
[02:19] <memeemeee> is there a way to restart gdm without rebooting?
[02:19] <orudie> how can i check which version of samba i have intsalled ?
[02:19] <the_lost_one> luddite: mine is the one with sata hard disk, not SSD
[02:19] <snuxoll> memeemeee: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[02:19]  * RazorsKiss crosses his fingers that he doesn't get any more extraction errors
[02:19] <jrib> orudie: apt-cache policy samba
[02:20] <the_lost_one> luddite: model 150 Ab
[02:20] <Decepticon> when im booting livecd ubuntu 8.04 ,, i am using a s-video out to tv to see it, i see everything uptil when i say run ubuntu without any changes, and then the progress bar fills up and theres a black screen forever until i restart
[02:20] <Decepticon> please advise
[02:21] <snuxoll> Decepticon: what video card/chip do you have?
[02:21] <snuxoll> Decepticon: do you have any other outputs hooked up?
[02:21] <Decepticon> snuxoll its http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814141052R
[02:21] <Decepticon> BIOSTAR VP5200SL16 GeForce FX 5200 128MB 64-bit DDR AGP 4X/8X Low Profile Ready Video Card
[02:21] <snuxoll> Decepticon: newegg.com doesn't work for me
[02:21] <Decepticon> geforce fx 5200 agp
[02:21] <snuxoll> Decepticon: ahh, thank you....uhm, the GeForce 5XXX series is no longer supported
[02:21] <cafuego> Yup, that'll be using the vesa driver on the livec, which would not support s-video.
[02:21] <Decepticon> huh?!
[02:22] <Decepticon> so what should i do
[02:22] <lightdragon> hello... please bear with me i'm a noob to linux and irc
[02:22] <MindVirus> snuxoll, actually, it's in the unsupported devices list.
[02:22] <Decepticon> i have a geforce fx 5500
[02:22] <lightdragon> but i have a technical question about networking which i'm also a noob on
[02:22] <snuxoll> Decepticon: all I can say is use a different output, or buy a new video card
[02:22] <Decepticon> with svideo out as well
[02:22] <snuxoll> !ask | lightdragon
[02:22] <MindVirus> snuxoll, but that's cool -- they apparently are working on a driver.
[02:22] <cafuego> Decepticon: That card should work fine with the close-source nvidia driver installed.
[02:22] <Rideh> lightdragon: gotta start somewhere, get on with it
[02:22] <snuxoll> MindVirus: good then
[02:22] <RazorsKiss> hanging at "configuring apt sources"
[02:22] <orudie> jrib, ok, it shows me current installed version and other available versions, how can i specify the version i want to install  ?
[02:22] <wartalker> my network-manager does not show the wireless, help?
[02:22] <Decepticon> cafuego thats nice but i need to install ubuntu first
[02:23] <snuxoll> cafuego: I thought nvidio dropped official support for everything below GeForce 6XXX ?
[02:23] <Decepticon> with this video card or my other geforce fx 5500
[02:23] <cafuego> Decepticon: Can you flip to console (alt-F1) ?
[02:23] <snuxoll> *nvidia
[02:23] <ltcabral> hello... where can i ask about latex questions??
[02:23] <Decepticon> i have no monitor and these cards allow me to see the screen on the tv
[02:23] <snuxoll> ltcabral: #latex
[02:23] <ltcabral> thanks
[02:23] <jrib> orudie: you should usually install the latest one (and that happens automaticall).  Is there a reason you want to install an older version?
[02:23] <Decepticon> cafuego i havent tried, but i bet it would work, because i can defintlye see output on the tv from bootup (bios post etc)
[02:23] <StyleCHM> hey all, is anyone else having DMA issues with ATA CDROMs?
[02:23] <Decepticon> it just farts on me when i try to livecd
[02:24] <snuxoll> StyleCHM: nope
[02:24] <cafuego> Decepticon: Yeah, it lacks that driver.
[02:24] <lightdragon> thanks guys, i'm trying to get my linux networked to windows so that i can have complete access both on my windows box and my linux box. I've checked online and installed samba as per directions, but i'mlsot when it comes to the mounting part... what exactly am i supposed to mount and where to?
[02:24] <Decepticon> cafuego will ubuntu 8.10 support it
[02:24] <snuxoll> Decepticon: try installing on a different output firt
[02:24] <cafuego> Decepticon: ... so it defaults to vesa.
[02:24] <cafuego> Decepticon: based on what snuxoll says, I wouldn't count on it.
[02:24] <orudie> jrib, i'm having problems with the one i have installed, it keeps giving error "network drive is no longer available" in the middle of copying files to or from samba server / share
[02:24] <StyleCHM> "WARNING: ATAPI DMA disabled for reliablity issues."
[02:24] <Decepticon> i have no other way to do this... all i have is s-video to tv, with either geforce fx 5200 or geforce fx 5500... i have no monitor
[02:24] <snuxoll> Decepticon: after you've finished the install, install the restricted nvidia driver, and reboot, although I'm still pretty sure nvidia dropped support
[02:24] <StyleCHM> this is on intrepid tho
[02:24] <redDEAD> I was trying to reinstall Ubuntu 8.10 Beta on my Dell Mini 9. Instead of going to a LiveUSB desktop it keeps throwing me into a BusyBox Shell I get the error: [ 0.749487] ACPI: GC: GPE storm detected, disabling EC GPE Loading Please wait...

[02:25] <zeelot> hey guys, I cant seem to install/update anything I get message saying I need to run 'dpkg --configure -a' but that command freezes my machine, anyone know what I can do?
[02:25] <snuxoll> StyleCHM: I'm on intrepid as well
[02:25] <snuxoll> !intrepid | redDEAD
[02:25] <memeemeee> jrib, that did not work
[02:25] <jrib> orudie: you can try to install a different version with: sudo apt-get install PACKAGE=VERSION
[02:25] <Decepticon> snuxoll ok so it wont black screen on me during install?
[02:25] <Rideh> lightdragon: samba allos you to serve files to linux boxes, however it doesnt handle associating the windows with the linux box. for that you need to mount the windows volumes within the linux file system
[02:25] <StyleCHM> ubottu: thanks mate
[02:25] <jrib> memeemeee: do you see a list of any wms?
[02:25] <snuxoll> Decepticon: like I said, try a different output, use VGA or DVI
[02:25] <memeemeee> there's no option for jwm in my sessions
[02:25] <snuxoll> !bot | StyleCHM
[02:25] <cafuego> Decepticon: it will, use the alternate cd - which can run in text mode.
[02:25] <Rideh> lightdragon: *serve files from linux to windows boxes
[02:25] <StyleCHM> hahaha, a bot, nice :D
[02:25] <redDEAD> snuxoll, sorry wrong box, i ment to ask in that channel
[02:26] <orudie> jrib,  sudo apt-get install 3.0.24-6etch10
[02:26] <orudie> returns package not found
[02:26] <StyleCHM> I should pay more attention :D
[02:26] <Decepticon> cafuego ok so thats another download i gotta do?
[02:26] <orudie> jrib, returns couldnt find package
[02:26] <jrib> orudie: you forgot the PACKAGE part
[02:26] <memeemeee> Xserver script, Gnome, failsafe gnome, failsafe terminal
[02:26] <cafuego> Decepticon: Yup... and you really don't have any guarantee that it'll work :-(
[02:26] <lightdragon> sorry rideh i'm not following so far
[02:26] <jrib> memeemeee: let me install jwm here and see
[02:26] <RazorsKiss> ok, burning with brasiero this time, at _1x_ :P
[02:26] <HaSH> hello all. i have a slight issue with xfce. i enabled 3d effects and it worked fine and all. i then selected xfcewm to manage the windows and now my xfce menu is ALWAYS on top...even full screen video. so reran compiz and the menubar does NOT stay on top...but with compiz get frame tearing...so how can i reenable xfcewm and tell the menu bar to not always be on top
[02:27] <RazorsKiss> AND checksum safety
[02:27] <Decepticon> as long as i can get a text console and get ubuntu installed, i have the drivers sitting around (i made the geforce fx 5500 with tv out work on debian with them)
[02:27]  * cafuego wonders how long beforee his 6200 will stop being supported :-P
[02:27] <Rideh> lightdragon: you state that you want windows and linux to work together.  samba will allow the windows box to work with linux, but not vice-versa thats where mounting the windows volumes within linux comes in
[02:27] <zeelot> please anyone? it's eben like this for a while and I really dont want to reinstall the OS
[02:27] <Decepticon> why do they stop supporting old hardware?
[02:27] <avb> memeemeee: just install openbox and run dpkg -L openbox in order to find where is session file is located or checkout gdm.conf
[02:27] <snuxoll> cafuego: nvidia would be stupid to stop supporting the 6XXX and 7XXX cards
[02:27] <lightdragon> Rideh: How do i mount the windows volumes within the linux file system then?
[02:27] <avb> its pretty easy
[02:27] <cafuego> Decepticon: no commercial reason for them to
[02:27] <snuxoll> cafuego: since they're the only ones that work properly under linux :P
[02:28] <bobertdos> !mount | lightdragon
[02:28] <cafuego> Decepticon: Drop support, force upgrades, increase sales, limit development requirements...
[02:28] <lightdragon> Rideh: is there a way or a place that could give this to me step by step?
[02:28] <cafuego> Decepticon: ... why does any proprietary corp drop support...
[02:28] <snuxoll> cafuego: because you don't want to maintain stuff forever
[02:28] <Rideh> lightdragon: check out bobertdos & ubottu they did that for u
[02:29] <snuxoll> cafuego: Ubuntu drops support on old software too, we don't want to support ancient software for the rest of our lives
[02:29] <cafuego> snuxoll: that last one was rhetorical.
[02:29] <snuxoll> cafuego: ahh, I see
[02:29] <jrib> memeemeee: here you go: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/jwm/+bug/205431 workaround in the comments.
[02:29] <snuxoll> carpediem: wasn't following very well
[02:29] <lightdragon> ubotto: isn't partitioning strictly local though? i'm looking at two seperate boxes
[02:29] <cafuego> snuxoll: I think you'll find apache 1.0 rusn fine on Ubuntu, if you put in a bit of effort ;-)
[02:29] <memeemeee> thanks jrib
[02:30] <snuxoll> lightdragon: you want to use samba then
[02:30] <Rideh> lightdragon: your confusing mounting and partioning
[02:30] <boosties> HI All
[02:30] <snuxoll> !hi | boosties
[02:30] <lessthanx> Whats a good newbie guide for understanding ubuntu logs.  I'm especially interested in network access logs for outgoing and incoming requests.
[02:30] <boosties> Does anyone use Amrock?
[02:31] <boosties> Amarock*
[02:31] <the_lost_one> boosties: yeah
[02:31] <danbh_intrepid> lessthanx: you might want to try searching on help.ubuntu.com
[02:31] <cafuego> lessthanx: Applications *may* log incoming conenctions, outbound isn't logged.
[02:31] <Don> how can I fix /etc/resolv.conf missing in kppp? help please
[02:32] <Rideh> lightdragon: http://blogs.koolwal.net/2008/05/19/mount-a-windows-network-share-on-linux-using-sambacifs/
[02:32] <cafuego> Don: Create /etc/resolv.conf with a text editor
[02:32] <Don> cafuego tried
[02:33] <lessthanx> thx for the two responses. Not logging connections is a little disappointing.  I'll check help.ubuntu.com
[02:33] <lightdragon> Rideh: Thx i'm following that link
[02:33] <snuxoll> lessthanx: there should be no incoming connections by default anyways
[02:33] <snuxoll> lessthanx: as for logging, that's software dependent
[02:33] <cafuego> lessthanx: You can add firewall rules to log them; doing it by default would mean disk would fill up with mainly useless logs far too quickly.

[02:37] <AlgorithmicContr> I can't access my screen saver preferences, when I attempt to run I get "Could not load the main interface Please make sure that the screensaver is properly installed". Running gnome-screensaver the output yields" ** (gnome-screensaver:32253): WARNING **: screensaver already running in this session" Any suggestions?
[02:38] <l3r1k> I'm having issues installing ubuntu 8.04. Whenever I use the LiveCD, it boots me into a BusyBox 'ash' shell and I cant get out of it. Whenever I use the alternate install CD, it complains that it cant find the CDROM in the drive after it autodetects my keyboard layout. What can I do?
[02:38] <wartalker> my network-manager do not show wireless network, why, i hanve changed the interface.
[02:38] <Don> snuxoll, I try, i gotta reboot in linux from vista, tnx
[02:38] <snuxoll> l3r1k: did you try reducing the burn speed and verifying the CD's integrity?
[02:38] <r2s> cafuego: thanks
[02:38] <l3r1k> snuxoll: yes
[02:38] <l3r1k> 2x burn speed
[02:38] <snuxoll> l3r1k: did you verify the ISO then?
[02:39] <l3r1k> Yes sir, snuxoll.
[02:39] <snuxoll> l3r1k: is your CD/DVD drive PATA or SATA?
[02:39] <l3r1k> I'm not exactly sure really.
[02:39] <snuxoll> l3r1k: big fat connector, or nice little small connector?

[02:40] <CapaH> Question, I lost httpd.conf --- how can I restore it? I tried apt-get remove and apt-get install apache2.2-common etc --- no success, any ideas?
[02:40] <the_lost_one> l3r1k: how old is your machine?
[02:40] <munchingfoo> hello
[02:40] <CapaH> I want to restore the original default httpd.conf that comes with the installation - all I am getting is an empty httpd.conf file
[02:40] <l3r1k> Not sure as to that either, a few years.
[02:40] <l3r1k> snuxoll: I'll look in it real fast for you. One minute.
[02:40] <After_Math> hi munchingfoo
[02:40] <complexity> does anyone use the update manager and get an update with hardy and have it break gnome desktop and break firefox and I cant fix it
[02:41] <After_Math> complexity, what do you mean exactly by breaking your desktop?
[02:41] <danbh_intrepid> complexity: try this command to reinstall the defaults for your system!  sudo apt-get install (k|x)ubuntu-desktop^             and dont forget the ^
[02:41] <After_Math> complexity, you cant run in graphical mode ?
[02:41] <l3r1k> snuxoll: there's a very wide, thin cable and a power cable plugged into it.
[02:42] <complexity> After_Math, I made a fresh install of hardy .. got all the updates and rebooted , now gnome desktop does not load  but fluxbox works and firefox does not load in fluxbox
[02:42] <snuxoll> l3r1k: mind taking a picture?
[02:43] <l3r1k> Uh.. Sure. One sec.
[02:43] <complexity> clear enough After_Math
[02:43] <After_Math> complexity, Im not sure what that could be. Maybe something to do with xorg.conf
[02:43] <After_Math> complexity, ya
[02:43] <Crell> Hi folks.  I have java installed on my Hardy system, but $JAVA_HOME appears to not be set.  I've been advised to set it in /etc/environment, but what should it be set to on a typical Hardy system?  /usr/share/java or something else?
[02:43] <complexity> After_Math, I really think it was an update of some sort because I reinstalled this morning after getting the same problem last night...and i didn't do anything last night at all
[02:44] <complexity> After_Math, open your update manager and install all the updates.. see if you can get back here to chat with me after, if you use gnome
[02:44] <After_Math> complexity, Updates could possibly override some kind of configuration but Im sure there isnt an update that could break your system. Why not try the new beta?
[02:45] <After_Math> complexity, I use the beta. and every time I do an update it gets better for me :)
[02:45] <complexity> After_Math, can I update to that from here?
[02:45] <After_Math> complexity, ya
[02:45] <complexity> how
[02:45] <After_Math> complexity, one sec
[02:45] <oliver__> how do i give people red messages?
[02:45] <munchingfoo> Crell - which java package are you trying to use?
[02:45] <danbh_intrepid> !who > oliver__
[02:46] <l3r1k> snuxoll: One minute, uploading now.
[02:46] <Crell> munchingfoo: The OpenLaszlo compiler.  It's not an Ubuntu package.
[02:46] <Crell> munchingfoo: Or do you mean which JRE is installed?  sun-java6-bin
[02:46] <complexity> And if that doesn't work, 5 dollars for anyone who finds out what is breaking systems, I mean, I reinstalled a couple month old install of ubuntu because of this
[02:46] <After_Math> complexity, I would back up all the info you want first before doing this
[02:46] <complexity> After_Math, haha, don't worry about that
[02:46] <complexity> just reinstalled
[02:46] <After_Math> complexity, ok then press Alt+F2
[02:47] <oliver__> !nick2 u there?
[02:47] <l3r1k> snuxoll: http://i35.tinypic.com/2z8voft.jpg
[02:47] <oliver__> grrr didnt work
[02:47] <After_Math> complexity, and type in 'update-manager -d'
[02:47] <complexity> After_Math, here goes nothing, thank you
[02:47] <l3r1k> It's 90 degrees to the right, so .. tilt your head. I guess.
[02:47] <oliver__> can anny1 help me please? i have the voodoo glitch
[02:47] <After_Math> complexity, then it should tell you about a New distribution release is availabe, CLick upgrade
[02:47] <complexity> After_Math, alright, thanks
[02:48] <After_Math> complexity, np
[02:48] <oliver__> if anny1 knows how to fit the voodoo glitch please help me
[02:49] <Gnea> oliver__: the voodoo glitch?
[02:49] <zeelot> hey guys, I cant seem to install/update anything I get message saying I need to run 'dpkg --configure -a' but that command freezes my machine, anyone know what I can do?
[02:50] <zeelot> =(
[02:50] <Gnea> zeelot: freezes?
[02:50] <danbh_intrepid> zeelot: can you pastebin any error msgs you are getting?
[02:50] <zeelot> no errors, machine completely freezes and I have to shut it down manually
[02:50] <Local-Host> !pastebin
[02:51] <Gnea> zeelot: you can't switch consoles?
[02:51] <zeelot> nope
[02:51] <snuxoll> l3r1k: sorry about that
[02:51] <Gnea> zeelot: and alt-sysrq doesn't work?
[02:51] <l3r1k> It's ok.
[02:51] <snuxoll> l3r1k: you have a PATA drive
[02:51] <l3r1k> >:|
[02:51] <zeelot> keyboard and everything goes unresponsive
[02:51] <l3r1k> What do you reccomend I do about it, snuxoll?
[02:51] <snuxoll> l3r1k: I'm unsure, it should 'just work'
[02:51] <danbh_intrepid> zeelot: maybe try this: dpkg -l | grep ^ii               I think thats it
[02:51] <Gnea> sysrq usually tends to work even when the keyboard appears unresponsive... what arguments did you try?
[02:51] <munchingfoo> Crell, so it's usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0-sun-(some numbers here)/
[02:51] <munchingfoo> Crell, look for that in your filesystem
[02:52] <RazorsKiss> arrrrgh!
[02:52] <zeelot> danbh_intrepid: what then? I get a bunch of info
[02:52] <danbh_intrepid> zeelot: I got the command wrong... hold on
[02:52] <Crell> Looks like /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun is a symlink to there.
[02:52] <Crell> munchingfoo: Looks like /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun is a symlink to there.
[02:52] <Snapneko> hey guyz im having issues with partioning/resizeing my disk for a dual XP and ubuntu boot setup
[02:52] <RazorsKiss> how come I can burn a cd at 1x, get a good integrity check - and have it fail on this forever-to-be-cursed laptop...
[02:52] <Gnea> zeelot: what about sudo apt-get -f install
[02:52] <l3r1k> snuxoll: :/ I've been trying for about 4 days now.. I've been using linux all my computer career basically. This is the first time anything like this has ever happened.
[02:53] <Gnea> !dualboot | Snapneko
[02:53] <zeelot> E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
[02:53] <snuxoll> l3r1k: I don't get why this is happening.....mind downloading and burning a 8.10 ISO to see if it's a 8.04 specific issue?
[02:53] <RazorsKiss> the graphical installer dies on arrival - laptop's too old
[02:53] <Gnea> zeelot: any errors in dmesg?
[02:53] <Don> please help, must be someone here with definate answer to fix /etc/resolv.conf missing in kppp
[02:53] <danbh_intrepid> zeelot: dpkg -l | grep -v ^ii
[02:53] <snuxoll> Don: I just told you how to fix it ;(
[02:54] <danbh_intrepid> zeelot: I forgot the -v I think
[02:54] <l3r1k> Sure snuxoll. Where do I get the 8.10 beta from?
[02:54] <Snapneko> Gnea i know i got https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/switching/installing-partitioning.html open and http://apcmag.com/how_to_dual_boot_windows_xp_and_linux_xp_installed_first.htm?page=3 open
[02:54] <Gnea> snuxoll: you'll need to explain the problem, please.
[02:54] <snuxoll> l3r1k: just go to http://ubuntu.com
[02:54] <munchingfoo> Crell, hmm - mine contains a symlink and the real files...
[02:54] <l3r1k> Ok.
[02:54] <Don> snuxoll, tried those commands,
[02:54] <snuxoll> Gnea: kppp is telling him that /etc/resolv.conf is missing
[02:54] <zeelot> danbh_intrepid: what do I do with the output
[02:54] <munchingfoo> Crell, not sure why
[02:54] <l3r1k> Thanks snuxoll: i'll report back after I try it.
[02:54] <RazorsKiss> I can't get the pcimcia card to show up in puppy...
[02:54] <Gnea> i mean
[02:54] <danbh_intrepid> zeelot: pastebin it
[02:54] <Crell> munchingfoo: Well, setting that to my JAVA_HOME seems to work, so I'll take it for what it is. :-)
[02:54] <snuxoll> Gnea: tould him to use touch + chmod to create it and make it world writable
[02:54] <Gnea> Don: you'll need to explain the problem, please.
[02:54] <munchingfoo> Crell - cool
[02:54] <Crell> Could be that this system begin life as Feisty.
[02:54] <Gnea> snuxoll: sorry, mis-tabbed
[02:54] <Local-Host> l3r1k, http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/intrepid/beta
[02:55] <l3r1k> thank you, 127.0.0.1.
[02:55] <Stargazer> I'm trying to resize a window in finch but in the terminal that command gets me a new terminal window. any ideas ?
[02:55] <RazorsKiss> all the cds die when I try to install the alternate
[02:55] <Don> gnea, when I try to connect with kppp, it tells me /etc/resolv.conf is missing
[02:55] <RazorsKiss> there's no place like 127.0.0.1
[02:55] <Gnea> Don: and is it?
[02:55] <zeelot> danbh_intrepid: http://paste.ubuntu.com/59954/
[02:55] <Don> yes
[02:56] <Don> no file in /etc
[02:56] <Gnea> Don: did kppp ask you for any dns servers?
[02:56] <Local-Host> l3r1k, np
[02:56] <lightdragon> Ribeh: on the link you gave me it says to use the command #apt-get update but it doesn't seem to do anything on the terminal. there's another #apt-get install smbfs smbclient that also doesn't seem to do anything
[02:56] <Don> no
[02:56] <Don> it auto
[02:56] <Don> dialup
[02:56] <Gnea> Don: do you know your isp's dns servers?
[02:56] <Don> no
[02:56] <Gnea> Don: how are you connected to the internet now?
[02:57] <munchingfoo> lol
[02:57] <Don> vista same modem i use linux
[02:57] <danbh_intrepid> zeelot: so, its mysql thats causing the problem
[02:57] <Gnea> Don: so you're using linux to connect to a remote vista?
[02:57] <Don> gnea
[02:57] <Gnea> Don
[02:57] <zeelot> danbh_intrepid: how do I solve it? my mysql server seems to be running fine though...
[02:57] <Don> I am on windows Vista at mo'
[02:58] <the_lost_one> wich scripts can be safelly removed (on a fresh install) from the cron dirs to reduce hard disk usage on a small laptop? mlocate seems to be one, anymore?
[02:58] <Gnea> Don: okay - glad we cleared that up.
[02:58] <Don> gnea, I use same ext' modem on linux
[02:58] <Don> works all other linux distros
[02:58] <Gnea> Don: now, what dns servers did it give you in vista?
[02:58] <Don> non, it auto
[02:59] <RazorsKiss> ugh!
[02:59] <danbh_intrepid> zeelot: maybe remove mysql, and try to reinstall?  I dunno..
[02:59] <RazorsKiss> there can't be this many corrupted files in 4 different cds I've burned on a new cd drive.  No freakign way.
[02:59] <jclbrt> !pastebin
[02:59] <zeelot> danbh_intrepid: how do I remove it? I can't use dpkg for anything
[02:59] <RazorsKiss> all the md5's check out, too
[02:59] <Gnea> Don: auto will always 'automatically' give you dns servers. clearly you don't know how to check. please open a command prompt and type this:  ipconfig /all   it will tell you the dns servers.
[02:59] <Don> all i need is the missing /etc/resolv.conf file
[02:59] <amep> Quick question: Does anyone know of any instructions on how to use a AT&T USBConnect Quicksilver (or similar cell internet dongle) on Linux? I cannot find any via google.
[02:59] <RazorsKiss> it's got to be this cd drive on the laptop
[03:00] <munchingfoo> the_lost_one, have you considered using compact linux releases?  Do you specifically need the one you have?
[03:00] <Don> gnea i have to reboot into linux all time
[03:00] <Snapneko> it wont allow me too resize the windows partition
[03:00] <Gnea> Don: do you want help or do you want to keep chasing your tail?
[03:00] <danbh_intrepid> zeelot: sudo dpkg --force-depends --purge (or --remove) mysql-server-5.0
[03:00] <RazorsKiss> riddle me this.
[03:00] <Don> I just need to know which file I can d/load here on windows
[03:01] <Gnea> Don: i have just explained to you the first step you need to take. if you are unwilling to work with anyone in here on this, then you are unwilling to connect via dialup using ubuntu.
[03:01] <the_lost_one> munchingfoo: well, i like to have stuff and so, you know :-)
[03:01] <Don> gnea, i can connect on kppp on about 20 other linux distros, just not this 8.04
[03:01] <histo> Don: those are you DNS settings from your isp
[03:01] <tiggers> what are the pro's and cons of 64 bit Ubuntu vs 32 bit? Do I need to install 64 bit if I have 3Gb of Memory and dual processors?
[03:01] <histo> Don: you can use other ones though if you like in the resolv.conf
[03:01] <casperr> hey, so compositioning doesnt work with my video driver and dual monitors for some reason
[03:02] <histo> Don: like namserver 4.2.2.1
[03:02] <casperr> but I really wanna use awn, is there an awn replacement that doesnt require compiz to run ?
[03:02] <casperr> or anything like awn ?
[03:02] <lightdragon> i'm looking at a sight that says to use the command #apt-get update but it doesn't seem to do anything on the terminal. there's another #apt-get install smbfs smbclient that also doesn't seem to do anything.... am i doing something wrong?
[03:02] <histo> lightdragon: yes
[03:02] <Gnea> Don: then you and i have nothing further to talk about.
[03:02] <mochabcha> if I wanted to start creating my own widgets where would i start
[03:02] <Local-Host> lightdragon, what exactly are you trying to do
[03:02] <histo> lightdragon: apt is used to install software. apt-get update will update your local database of files availible. apt-get install <package name> will install a perticular package.
[03:02] <histo> !apt | lightdragon
[03:03] <histo> lightdragon: You can use Synaptic or Applications > Add/remove to install software as well.
[03:03] <casperr> anyone ?
[03:03] <mochabcha> if I wanted to start creating my own widgets where would i start
[03:03] <histo> !best | casperr
[03:03] <RazorsKiss> I'm trying to install ubuntu on an older laptop - I've gone through 4 cds to try and get a "good" burn - the problem is, they verify correctly on my desktop.  When I check it on the laptop, they all fail the integrity check, although I *just* did on on the desktop.  Bad cd drive?
[03:04] <casperr> oh
[03:04] <histo> mochabcha: maybe check out the screenlets project or desklets
[03:04] <casperr> well im just looking for a dock application
[03:04] <RazorsKiss> the md5 is correct - on the iso, and the cd
[03:04] <casperr> i just was asking people to list some off so I can try different oens
[03:04] <danbh_intrepid> RazorsKiss: are you burning at a slow speed?
[03:04] <histo> RazorsKiss: bad drive or maybe the drive doesn't like the media that you are burning on.
[03:04] <RazorsKiss> yes, 4x and below, in all 4 cases
[03:04] <mochabcha> histo: I like screenlets better because they seem to work better with compiz but what language
[03:04] <histo> RazorsKiss: try a different brand of cdr or a slower like 4x burn speed
[03:04] <mochabcha> histo: python
[03:04] <hitman1985> hi everyone, whats the best way to setup a house internal remote desktop viewer (got a server (winxp) what i need to control) from ubuntu 8.04 hardy heron
[03:04] <RazorsKiss> histo: just installed puppy with the same media batch, earlier today
[03:04] <histo> mochabcha: I would contact the author of the application to find out more info.
[03:05] <histo> RazorsKiss: then try a 4x burn.
[03:05] <RazorsKiss> histo: everything has been 4x and below
[03:05] <mochabcha> histo: great idea
[03:05] <the_lost_one> hitman1985: i use remote admin under wine
[03:05] <RazorsKiss> histo: first two were 4x, 3rd was 2x, 4th was 1x
[03:05] <RazorsKiss> nada.
[03:05] <Don> gnea, the distro is linux mint 5, obviously the /etc/resolv.conf is not on the dvd, all I want to know is how to install it
[03:05] <histo> RazorsKiss: hrm.. thats wierd that they are failing.
[03:05] <hitman1985> the_lost_one: think teamviewer will run under wine ?
[03:05] <RazorsKiss> histo: they don't fail on the desktop.
[03:05] <histo> RazorsKiss: there are other methods of installing.
[03:05] <histo> !install > RazorsKiss
[03:06] <hitman1985> the_lost_one: never liked radmin :(
[03:06] <Gnea> Don: does this look like the linux mint support channel?
[03:06] <the_lost_one> hitman1985: haha, good question, let me check it
[03:06] <Don> it is ubuntu
[03:06] <RazorsKiss> well, this is a 733mhz
[03:06] <mochabcha> histo: i want to create custom widgets that handle all my programs common functions so I don't have to
[03:06] <histo> Don: resolv.conf is just a file that points at nameservers.  Youc an make one up like I told you earlier.
[03:06] <hitman1985> the_lost_one: no need runing now
[03:06] <lightdragon> oh i get it.. i'm not supposed to type the # I had no idea. thanks for that... and to answer Local-Host I'm trying to network my windows and linux boxes together. Rideh gave me a link to follow.... But i'm a complete noob all around and really feel lost in this... I'm comfortable on windows, but have never done networking, and have always stayed away from the confusion of linux until ubuntu arrived. I have a
[03:06] <lightdragon> lways wanted to do linux instead of windows... but i'm still lost...
[03:06] <RazorsKiss> so my options are limited already.
[03:06] <RazorsKiss> it won't usb boot
[03:06] <fallore> the file explorer (i don't know what it's called :/) froze. how can i end the process without messing up everything else?
[03:06] <hitman1985> the_lost_one: just didnt remember i had wine tho ;) easier things are always  the worst to realize
[03:06] <RazorsKiss> and the cd drive is my only option,
[03:06] <histo> Don: sudo nano /etc/resolv.conf and put in there nameserver 4.2.2.1
[03:07] <danbh_intrepid> zeelot: have you gotten things working?
[03:07] <histo> Don: that will work for the time being.
[03:07] <RazorsKiss> I installed 2 other OS' on it today, so the cd drive works at least that well
[03:07] <napp> i use remote desktop viewer from synaptic and VNC on windows
[03:07] <mochabcha> histo: like if I wanted to make a call or send an email, I want to create a collapsible contact widget that syncs with my phone and allows me to email, im, call or edit any of my contacts
[03:07] <mcasprog> I just installed hardy on my vostro and activated the driver for my BCM4310 card. It works fine, but I have to keep re-enabling this each boot. Any ideas?
[03:07] <Rideh> lightdragon:  i'd recommend starting with the basics and building strong fundamentals
[03:07] <histo> mochabcha: I don't know anything about them.
[03:07] <RazorsKiss> I installed win2k just for kicks, to see if it'd work - and puppy instaleld realyl fast.  However, puppy won't find my wireless card.
[03:08] <Isilion> hi. problems with ATI radeon 9800 pro. im sure drivers are correctly installed and it works perfect in winxp. but launching 3d apps (like openarena or compiz) in xubuntu make display freezes and is need a hard-reboot. details at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=766699&page=5 (last post) thx
[03:08] <danbh_intrepid> RazorsKiss: are you using the alternate cd?
[03:08] <mochabcha> is there a widget irc channel
[03:08] <RazorsKiss> danbh_intrepid, yes.
[03:08] <histo> !ati > Isilion
[03:08] <Gnea> mochabcha: like gtk widgets?
[03:08] <the_lost_one> hitman1985: yeah, working like a charm :-)
[03:08] <danbh_intrepid> mochabcha: maybe try a gnome channel
[03:08] <zeelot> danbh_intrepid: yea seems fine thanks a lot
[03:08] <hitman1985> the_lost_one: just surprises me that they dont have a linux version yet, that is actually bad points for them from my position :)
[03:08] <histo> mochabcha: /j #screenlets
[03:08] <mochabcha> danbh_intrepid: name one
[03:08] <casperr> damnit
[03:09] <mcasprog> I also noticed the checkbox will not stay checked, but it says 'in use'
[03:09] <turtle_> i need help with gnash for 8.04 64
[03:09] <lightdragon> Rideh: sounds good, but I never seem to have the time for that... I know bad idea but I do the best I can... I kinda got thrown into Ubuntu because windows refused to notice my ethernet card but ubuntu was quite happy with it so i decided to just abandon windows ...
[03:09] <hitman1985> the_lost_one: thanks im still dling it :)
[03:09] <danbh_intrepid> zeelot: did you just reinstall mysql?
[03:09] <the_lost_one> hitman1985: 100% agree :(
[03:09] <RazorsKiss> danbh_intrepid, every cd I've tried has failed on the base config/install section
[03:09] <histo> RazorsKiss: intrepid support is in #ubuntu+1  that may be your whole problem.
[03:09] <casperr> will compiz ever work with ati & dual monitors ?
[03:09] <RazorsKiss> and they all fail the integrity check - but the md5 is correct, and the cd's themselves validate on the desktop
[03:09] <frank_> theGuyUpstairs
[03:09] <RazorsKiss> histo: intrepid?
[03:09] <Isilion> histo -> driver its correctly installed. its ATI propietary. that doesnt is useful
[03:10] <RazorsKiss> histo: this is the alternate install cd for hardy.
[03:10] <redrebel> which web based ssh client do you guys recommend ?
[03:10] <hitman1985> the_lost_one:  i started with linux about 3 month ago, and i got all my work apps runing on ubuntu so far, wont go back for work to M$
[03:10] <the_lost_one> hitman1985: but hey, now whe have first wine estable, and its awesome ow good works
[03:10] <Rideh> lightdragon: well good luck but even with the ubuntu crowd being the most gentle to get started with many will take for granted some knowledge
[03:10] <turtle_> is there a channel for x64 users?
[03:10] <histo> RazorsKiss: lol nvm that was someones name you typed
[03:10] <tritium> redrebel: what do you mean "web based"?
[03:10] <fallore> i killed the firefox process and now it won't start back up. do i have to restart x?
[03:10] <RazorsKiss> heh
[03:10] <danbh_intrepid> turtle_: you know, there probably should be
[03:10] <redrebel> tripps, like using a web browser to ssh to my computer
[03:10] <turtle_> yeha
[03:10] <Rideh> lightdragon: for the record i started with gentoo did a phase 1 install until i figured it out :)   was great for me to undestand the why's
[03:10] <zigzags> hi, the scrollbar part of my laptop's touchpad will sometimes, somehow, press 'ctrl + b'.  anyone know what might be causing this?
[03:10] <histo> turtle_: no but there is #gnash
[03:10] <the_lost_one> hitman1985: yeah, thats the idea haha
[03:10] <mcasprog> was 8.04.1 supposed to fix bcm43xx out of the box?
[03:11] <RazorsKiss> histo: it's frustrating.  Nothing's workin for me :/
[03:11] <redrebel> i know of ajaxterm, but idk if it's secure
[03:11] <RazorsKiss> histo: plus, I'm almost out of cds :D
[03:11] <hitman1985> the_lost_one: wine is nice and neat but i still prefer to have the ubuntu repos involved rather then runing "mounted" stuff
[03:11] <histo> RazorsKiss: well I highly doubt all those cds are bad.
[03:12] <casperr> has anyone in here managed to get compiz running on dual monitors with an ati card ?
[03:12] <turtle_> histo: any idea why gnash isnt working
[03:12] <lu6cifer> hi, I'm trying to compile something on 8.04. It had no config file, so I just typed 'make'. It's coming out with a bunch of errors, but the first one on the list is : "stdio.h: No such file or directory." I thought Ubuntu was installed with gcc? So why wouldn't it have the standard header file? How do I get it?
[03:12] <the_lost_one> hitman1985: of course, but, for work, i must use some stupid stuff like radmin, and i must get it working hehe
[03:12] <histo> RazorsKiss: its most likely an issue witht he drive you are using. As I mentioned before there are other ways to install via usb. etc...
[03:12] <zeelot> danbh_intrepid: yea seemed to do the trick
[03:12] <zigzags> ﻿hi, the scrollbar part of my laptop's touchpad will sometimes, somehow, press 'ctrl + b'.  anyone know what might be causing this?
[03:12] <histo> turtle_: no idea you have to elaborate a little on your problem and someone might be able to help you.
[03:12] <histo> lu6cifer: install build-essentials
[03:13] <hitman1985> the_lost_one: im planing on having the ubuntu tower as work machine, pleasure / gaming i use xp and media center will be xp as well :( cuz linux is just not as good in media playback options yet in my opinion
[03:13] <histo> lu6cifer: sudo aptitude install build-essetials
[03:13] <DigitalFiz> whats the command to update lib symlinks?
[03:13] <tritium> histo: "build-essential"
[03:13] <turtle_> i have gnash installed on 8.04 64bit and youtube video will not play
[03:13] <histo> hitman1985: you haven't seen all the software availible then for media center on nix
[03:13] <danbh_intrepid> zeelot: cool
[03:13] <histo> !info build-essentials
[03:13] <histo> tritium: my bad
[03:13] <lu6cifer> it doesn't?
[03:13] <the_lost_one> hitman1985: hey.. which ones have you tried?
[03:13] <Digital7> hitman1985: who made you think Ubuntu was inferior for media playback?
[03:14] <histo> lu6cifer: sudo aptitude install build-essential
[03:14] <hitman1985> histo: i havent researched yet, still waiting on a good tv to come out that has 3 dvi in :)
[03:14] <Digital7> hitman1985: it's actually superior in many ways
[03:14] <RazorsKiss> histo: can't boot from usb
[03:14] <RazorsKiss> histo: old sony vaio, no usb-boot support
[03:14] <zigzags> ﻿hi, the scrollbar part of my laptop's touchpad will sometimes, somehow, press 'ctrl + b'.  anyone know what might be causing this?
[03:14] <the_lost_one> Digital7: exactly
[03:14] <tritium> hitman1985: that likely won't happen.  They'll have HDMI instead.
[03:14] <Isilion> hi. problems with ATI radeon 9800 pro. im sure drivers are correctly installed and it works perfect in winxp. but launching 3d apps (like openarena or compiz) in xubuntu make display freezes and is need a hard-reboot. details at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=766699&page=5 (last post) thx
[03:14] <histo> RazorsKiss: what about a network install
[03:15] <the_lost_one> hitman1985: tell us your story then huh? :-)
[03:15] <hitman1985> Digital7:  me ! since the flash playback is laggy as anything! and also regular stuff what i can watch of a 1.8 ghz win pc will laggggg with ubuntu
[03:15] <RazorsKiss> histo: dunno - it might work, but it's wiped right now - I'll check it out, and see
[03:15] <Digital7> hitman1985: flash playback of flv files? or on websites?
[03:15] <hitman1985> Digital7:  sites :)
[03:15] <turtle_> histo:on websites
[03:15] <Digital7> hitman1985: what video card is being used?
[03:16] <slestak_> having trouble setting up a pptp vpn connection on II.  asked at +1, but noone was sure.  using the NM gui, it tries to connect, but fails with no valid secretes file.
[03:16] <hitman1985> Digital7:  the 3 pcs will be runing on the one and same monitor / lcd tv
[03:16] <histo> hitman1985: you should check out linuxmce
[03:16] <slestak_> i manually updated the chap-secrets file, bit noticed there was nothing in the peers dir for this connection, but there is in my functional gutsy install.
[03:16] <hitman1985> Digital7:  i was using a 5200 fx what serves the purpose (atm) i only got a 25 inch crt tv so therefor no need for superior quality, but deifinatly no lag
[03:16] <turtle_> could flash and nash be conflicting?
[03:17] <Digital7> hitman1985: were you using the nvidia drivers?
[03:17] <histo> !flash > turtle_
[03:17] <hitman1985> histo: sure i ll dl it right away and give it a shot next week
[03:17] <Digital7> hitman1985: nvidia restricted drivers
[03:17] <lightdragon> Rideh: Not sure what gentoo phase 1 is... but thanks for the advice and understanding.. I have some coworkers who are helping me out with the transition too. So I'm not completely blind... But I'm learning as I go... Learning alot!
[03:17] <lu6cifer> Apparently, I already had build-essentials--it didn't upgrade anything and I still can't compile it
[03:17] <hitman1985> Digital7:  yes
[03:17] <casperr> bleh I guess its just impossible to get to work xDC
[03:17] <slestak_> the new flash10 is awsome on II.  hulu.com finally works
[03:17] <histo> hitman1985: that will take care of most of your media center needs.
[03:17] <munchingfoo> what is the error message you get lu6cifer ?
[03:18] <histo> !pm | turtle_
[03:18] <wartalker> how to restart network-manager
[03:18] <turtle_> sorry, its just so busy
[03:18] <hitman1985> Digital7: i really got to come up with a plan anyways soon, i need one machine to run file storage, one for work , one for gaming and one for media playback
[03:18] <slestak_> wartalker: /etc/init.d/NetworkManager restart
[03:18] <the_lost_one> histo: can you repeat what media center you said? i lost it
[03:19] <slestak_> wartalker: your irssi or irc session will not survive :)
[03:19] <Digital7> hitman1985: what are your current plans?
[03:19] <tim__> is there a shortcut to get a terminal in ubuntu?
[03:19] <histo> the_lost_one: linuxmce its an addon to kubuntu but can be installed on any flavor pretty much.
[03:19] <slestak_> the_lost_one: linuxmce.  looke at elisa too
[03:19] <wartalker> ﻿slestak_:thanks
[03:19] <ziroday>  /j #xchat
[03:19] <histo> tim__: ctrl+alt+F1  through F6  F7 will get you back to Desktop
[03:19] <Digital7> hitman1985: i've got a little test for your flash issue
[03:19] <Digital7> hitman1985: do you have a flv file available?
[03:19] <the_lost_one> thanks histo slestak_ iĺl check it
[03:20] <slestak_> gonna tray reboot
[03:20] <hitman1985> Digital7:  just getting done with project 1 (file server) which im gonna run in xp as mshome network, just to easy to setup and very fast adjusted if someone visits to get stuff over wifi
[03:20] <slestak_> try
[03:20] <turtle_> histo:would a reboot do it?
[03:20] <tim__> histo, thanks
[03:21] <hitman1985> Digital7: at the moment im sitting on a amd 2600+ socket a / 5200fx / 1.2 gb ram ddr 1 still :) which will be later on the work pc
[03:21] <histo> turtle_: I have no idea what you are talking about.
[03:21] <turtle_> should flash and gnash be installed, or just gnash?
[03:21] <drandoss> has anyone had ubuntu hardy 8.04 amd64, extract a Iso with ;1 after every file?
[03:21] <Isilion> help with ATI radeon 9800 pro. installed ATI propietary drivers (catalyst 8.10
[03:21] <eodchop> anyone have any luck with their acer aspire one's wireless with intrepid
[03:21] <Digital7> hitman1985: when you find a flv (flash) file that lags your browser, try running it in VLC and see if the issue is resolved
[03:21] <hitman1985> Digital7: so therefor i cant really go from these meassurements
[03:22] <hitman1985> Digital7:  flash in vlc is a little bit better, but like i said i dont have it figured yet what i need for media center, any recommendations ? or should i maybe put media center and data center in one machine ?
[03:23] <Digital7> hitman1985: what all types of media will the media center be playing? is it a PVR (tv) also?
[03:23] <Digital7> hitman1985: tv card?
[03:23] <hitman1985> Digital7:  but like i said data center has to be hot swappable w/o issues of any kind
[03:23] <zigzags> ﻿hi, the scrollbar part of my laptop's touchpad will sometimes, somehow, press 'ctrl + b'.  anyone know what might be causing this?
[03:23] <histo> test
[03:23] <tim__> histo, thanks, but i was hoping for a shortcut to open a console in gnome
[03:23] <Isilion> ) because i need 3d acceleration. Its properly installed, fglrxinfo shows ati, xorg.conf shows ati, gears work. but display freezes at launching openarena or compiz in example, and is needed a hard-reboot. details and more info at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=766699&page=5
[03:23] <histo> tim__: you can set one via System > Preferences > Keyboard Shortcuts
[03:23] <hitman1985> Digital7:  plain avi maybe some dvds but no tv signal, tv is goin thru comcast :) no need to pull that into my media pc
[03:24] <Isilion> help with ATI radeon 9800 pro. installed ATI propietary drivers (catalyst 8.10) because i need 3d acceleration.

[03:24] <histo> tim__: also you might want to check out something like tilda or guake they are drop down terminals like in FPS's
[03:24] <hitman1985> Digital7:  and of corse some mp3 and maybe for karaoke night some mp3+gs, not sure yet
[03:24] <tim__> histo, what about remapping my up key to shift and vise versa?
[03:24] <lightdragon> Rideh: The link you gave me mentions the command smbclient -L infohighway - U Kushal where infohighway is the NetBIOS Name of my computer and kushal is the username on the windows machine... is the NetBIOS name for my Linux box? and where do I find out what that is? and is the Username on the Windows Machine like the computer name, host name, my own personal username or what? do you know?
[03:24] <turtle_> ill just try it in virtual box  :)
[03:24] <jrossa> anyone here know how to setup squid?
[03:24] <tritium> hitman1985: I've not followed your conversation too carefully, but have you looked at mythbuntu?
[03:25] <jbroome_> jrossa: apt-get install squid
[03:25] <Rideh> smbclient -L machine -U user works fine however attemping to mount with cifs  //machine/share returns tcpname not found, no ip addresss specified and hostname not found... cifs wont use netbios i need to add to /etc/hosts?
[03:25] <histo> tim__: check in system > preferences > keyboard
[03:25] <tim__> tilda -- are you talking about a desktop?
[03:25] <eodchop> anyone have any luck with their acer aspire one's wireless with intrepid
[03:25] <paggas> i'm using debian testing, but have also installed some packages from the ubuntu repos, my question is, is there a way to list critical bugs of ubuntu packages when installing/upgrading them? liek what apt-listbugs does for debian packages. thanks!
[03:25] <tritium> eodchop: #ubuntu+1 for intrepid questions
[03:25] <jrossa> yeah.......i know that it is installed and running
[03:25] <eodchop> cool ty
[03:25] <eodchop> tritum-thank you
[03:25] <jrossa> configure squid  it keeps refusing connections
[03:26] <hitman1985> tritium: not really cuz like i said , im just planing at the moment , dont really have enough pcs to test out with yet :)
[03:26] <Rideh> lightdragon: your configuring this on your linux box so you dont need to tell it who it is. the information it needs is about the remote host (your windows box)  netbios name of your windows machine, and username on the windows box
[03:26]  * histo slaps himself for deleting his conky config
[03:26] <tritium> hitman1985: I recommend it
[03:26] <Digital7> hitman1985: i'm not the most experienced with basic MCEs, but i believe that histo's suggestion would be a worthy look
[03:26] <jim_> hello
[03:26] <Digital7> hitman1985: linuxmce, that is
[03:27] <hitman1985> Digital7: yeah i think ima go with that for now, and check that runing on my dell tower hehe
[03:27] <zigzags> guys what is your preferred audio player? rhythmbox and banshee suck, and vlc skips all the time.
[03:27] <hitman1985> Digital7: my mediacenter pc will have something like either quadro fx in it or maybe a 9series geforce
[03:27] <Isilion> zigzags: Mplayer
[03:27] <the_lost_one> zigzags: amarok? audacious?
[03:28]  * hitman1985 is goin to the BR lil quick will be right back
[03:28] <zigzags> mplayer is not a good audio player what is wrong with you
[03:28] <tim__> histo, what do you mean by FPS's?
[03:28] <zigzags> if all i want to do is have a nice long list of files, sure
[03:28] <Robb_M> !poll
[03:28] <zigzags> i will try amarok and audcaious, thanks
[03:29] <histo> tim__: first person shooters. The drop down consoles in games? like counter strike quake etc....
[03:29] <Mersault> How do I get eth1 to be enabled but unconfigured at boot time? I need it to be up so that a vmware guest can bridge on it, but I don't want the host to use it at all.
[03:29] <zigzags> bot == people??
[03:29] <lightdragon> Rideh: thx... looking that up now... new to me still since I've never paid attention to this stuff in windows either. so doing research.
[03:29] <tim__> histo, got you
[03:29] <the_lost_one> zigzags: enjoy :)
[03:29] <Isilion> zigzags it works perfect for me. opens video and music and streams sources from internet :)
[03:30]  * hitman1985 is back :)
[03:31] <the_lost_one> Isilion: yeah, so powerful, of course, but maybe you must be a little bit ninja, you know? :-)
[03:31] <jim_> ...

[03:44] <jclbrt> yoodles we heard u
[03:44] <rooly|away> does anyone have any ideas to possible causes for an unstable system?
[03:44] <yoodles> ok
[03:44] <Zappp> ok ill do that
[03:44] <Orbixx> He was just doing the same thing in ##linux
[03:44] <interflop> The Ubuntu 8.10 beta doesn't seem to work with my bcm4318 card.  The driver manager says it's activated but I don't see any wireless networks.
[03:44] <yoodles> im waiting for someone to help. thanks
[03:44] <Orbixx> yoodles: Do not repeat yourself.
[03:45] <the_lost_one> rooly|away: what you understand for unstable system?
[03:45] <yoodles> ok
[03:45] <jclbrt> try going to the compiz fusion channel
[03:45] <yoodles> orbixx im just trying to find some help
[03:45] <Orbixx> This is the reason why you were banned from ##linux
[03:45] <yoodles> relax orbixx
[03:45] <Orbixx> I'm telling you for your own good.
[03:45] <jclbrt> or rather #compiz
[03:45] <yoodles> okay
[03:45] <Orbixx> If you wish to receive help, it is best not to get banned, yes?
[03:45] <yoodles> right
[03:45] <jclbrt> just chill out
[03:45] <rooly|away> the_lost_one: as in freezes and crashes often
[03:45] <yoodles> but after while no one heard me..so?
[03:45] <Don> i cannot get help either
[03:46] <rooly|away> it only started recently, however...within a week
[03:46] <interflop> The Ubuntu 8.10 beta doesn't seem to work with my bcm4318 card.  The driver manager says it's activated but I don't see any wireless networks.  Is there any known issue with the bcm43xx driver?
[03:46] <jclbrt> it's ok to post occassionally
[03:46] <rooly|away> i figure it may be a motherboard or memory problem, i just haven't had time to run a memtest yet
[03:46] <jclbrt> but one after the other is annoying
[03:46] <tickleme_eddie> hello
[03:46] <progekm> I have trouble hearing sound while playing .3g2 video files. VLC shows the video, but spits out this error in terminal:  main decoder error: no suitable decoder module for fourcc `mp4a'
[03:46] <munchingfoo> hello tickleme_eddie
[03:46] <the_lost_one> rooly|away: you checked all hardware?
[03:46] <Digital7> hitman1985: still looking
[03:46] <rooly|away> the_lost_one: it's a laptop so...
[03:46] <yoodles> ok im just posting occasionally now..
[03:46] <tickleme_eddie> does anyone know someone with windows can talk with "konversation
[03:46] <yoodles> hey guys, i just installed ubuntu 8.04 and i am trying to customize my desktop through compiz fusion, and emerald manager. but when i try to change the effect in the desktop background, i get a message saying "desktop effect could not be enable". i do not know what to do for god's sake!! :(
[03:47] <Orbixx> Troll.
[03:47] <rooly|away> yoodles: what's your video card
[03:47] <Don> I had the simplest of ? here, but noone knows answer
[03:47] <interflop> yoodles: did you install your video driver?
[03:47] <Orbixx> Ignore him, he's trolling.
[03:47] <progekm> yoodles, do you have your drivers installed?
[03:47] <rooly|away> ahh, okay
[03:47] <yoodles> im running on dell 4300
[03:47] <yoodles> i have windows xp before
[03:47] <progekm> glxinfo | grep rendering
[03:47] <rooly|away> that's not a video card
[03:47] <After_Math> what is the super button?
[03:47] <yoodles> i know that know
[03:47] <Orbixx> After_Math: The windows key.
[03:47] <interflop> After_Math: your windows key
[03:47] <progekm> yoodles type glxinfo | grep rendering
[03:47] <yoodles> but i dunno the video card name
[03:47] <yoodles> ..
[03:47] <yoodles> ok
[03:48] <yoodles> wait
[03:48] <FloodBot2> yoodles: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[03:48] <progekm> what does it say?
[03:48] <After_Math> Orbixx, interflop thanks
[03:48] <the_lost_one> rooly|away: you tryed leaving the laptop with a livecd and see what happens?
[03:48] <Orbixx> After_Math: Confused me too, at first.
[03:48] <Zappp> jclbrt: if use gparted will my windows installation be ok?
[03:48] <rogan_> After_Math: its the windows jey
[03:48] <yoodles> it says
[03:48] <yoodles> direct rendering yes
[03:48] <progekm> ok
[03:48] <jclbrt> yes Zappp i
[03:48] <rooly|away> the_lost_one: nah. i hadn't considered the harddrive since i get no mount errors
[03:48] <hitman1985> Digital7: its all good, im still workin on the ts server, had to redo everything :(
[03:48] <ink-> hello, would anyone point me to a guide with COM port i/o under c++ with linux?
[03:49] <jclbrt> Zappp:  just select the partition and resize it... gparted does not delete information
[03:49] <jclbrt> unless u want it to
[03:49] <Orbixx> jclbrt: Resizing windows partition?
[03:49] <tickleme_eddie> can anyone one tell me where i can find "konversation" that will run on windows
[03:49] <interflop> The Ubuntu 8.10 beta doesn't seem to work with my bcm4318 card.  The driver manager says it's activated but I don't see any wireless networks.  Is there any known issue with the bcm43xx driver?  It worked fine in 8.04
[03:49] <tickleme_eddie> ?
[03:49] <yoodles> ?
[03:49] <jclbrt> Orbixx: any partition
[03:49] <yoodles> progekm?
[03:49] <nevermind> 7list
[03:49] <Orbixx> I had a bad experience with resizing an NTFS partition with gparted.
[03:49] <Digital7> hitman1985: i believe http://sourceforge.net/projects/backuppc/ /may/ be the one i was thinking of
[03:49] <Orbixx> Specifically, it crashed and my NTFS partition was shot.
[03:49] <Zappp> jclbrt: thats good too know because i lost my windows XP install disk long ago ._.
[03:50] <jclbrt> Orbixx: I've never had a problem
[03:50] <jclbrt> except once i lost my boot record
[03:50] <Orbixx> jclbrt: Could've just been me - I just assumed it must happen often.
[03:50] <jclbrt> but i was able to get that back
[03:50] <Orbixx> It was the first time I used gparted to resize anything.
[03:50] <the_lost_one> rooly|away: it happens at any time, or when the laptop stays some time running?
[03:50] <jclbrt> as long as he does not delete his partition he should be fine
[03:50] <Digital7> hitman1985: there's some tutorials out there as well, such as this one http://www.howtoforge.com/linux_backuppc
[03:51] <tickleme_eddie> Is it possible to run Konversation on Windows XP
[03:51] <Orbixx> jclbrt: I got my partition back too by recovering the raw data and using software to recognise the data and split them into files appropriately.
[03:51] <tickleme_eddie> ?
[03:51] <Aeonis> Anyone have "VirtualBox"?
[03:51] <Orbixx> A long, drawn out task...
[03:51] <Digital7> hitman1985: it supports both linux and windows, and supports far more than 5 PCs
[03:51] <Digital7> Aeonis: yes
[03:51] <jclbrt> Aeonis: I do
[03:51] <Orbixx> !anyone | Aeonis
[03:51] <Don> where can I get /etc/resolv.conf, so I can get kppp working in 8.04?
[03:51] <Orbixx> Don: kppp?
[03:51] <Eida> hi..how to merge /dev/sda7             4.9G  4.9G     0 100% /
[03:52] <Eida> no space left
[03:52] <Orbixx> Merge... With what?
[03:52] <l3d> here is a thought I was wondering if it would be possible to change the volume display icon thingy?
[03:52] <Orbixx> Eida: Find things to delete before you try messing with partitions.
[03:52] <hitman1985> Digital7: thank you very much, ill do my best reading up on it, and hit u back up mid next week probably ok ?
[03:52] <Aeonis> Okay.  For those of you with VirtualBox - I see that there are 2 editions.  Is it the "Open Source Edition" that is free?
[03:52] <Don> orbix, yes dialup in kde on ununtu 8.04
[03:52] <the_lost_one> l3d: haha
[03:52] <Zappp> downloading gparted...
[03:52] <Orbixx> Aeonis: Likely.
[03:52] <Eida> how to clean un used file in root?
[03:53] <Orbixx> Don: Why would resolv.conf have anything to do with dialup software?
[03:53] <Digital7> hitman1985: you'll have to catch me on MSN, i'm not often here
[03:53] <Orbixx> Eida: Depends on your partition structure.
[03:53] <Zappp> while i wait for gparted to down, jclbrt should i backup any peticular system files just in case you think?
[03:53] <Orbixx> Eida: Do you have just /home and / ?
[03:53] <Eida> i use ext3
[03:53] <Digital7> hitman1985: but i've never used it myself, just was something i had planned on doing
[03:53] <tickleme_eddie> digital7 do you know how to run konversation on windows xp
[03:53] <Don> orbixx, because that error i get when trying to dial
[03:53] <tritium> Orbixx: because it defines DNS servers, which would be provided by a dial-up ISP, for example.
[03:53] <Don> it telling me it missing
[03:54] <Digital7> tickleme_eddie: sorry, I don't -- but if it's possible -- someone here likely will
[03:54] <nevermind> !broadcom
[03:54] <Eida> nop...when i try to save any file..it said no space left..
[03:54] <hitman1985> Digital7: mymsn is mc.andre.goebel@freenet.de :)
[03:54] <Aeonis> What's wrong with this line in installing the VirtualBox?  "sudo apt-get install virtualbox-ose virtualbox-ose-modules-`uname -r`"  When I try to run it, it just goes to another line with a ">" and nothing else.
[03:54] <Orbixx> Ah right, it refuses to dial without any DNS servers specified.
[03:54] <tickleme_eddie> digital7 tks
[03:54] <hitman1985> lmk when u got some time
[03:54] <Orbixx> Eida: What partitions do you have? (Not filesystems)
[03:54] <the_lost_one> tickleme_eddie: there are some how-to to build kde on windows, but hey, that sounds enougth hard :-)
[03:54] <Eida> Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
[03:54] <Eida> tmpfs                1006M     0 1006M   0% /dev/shm
[03:54] <tritium> Orbixx: the DNS servers would be provided one the dialup connection is established, actually.
[03:55] <Orbixx> Aeonis: It's missing a closing quote.
[03:55] <Eida> Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
[03:55] <Eida> tmpfs                1006M     0 1006M   0% /dev/shm
[03:55] <Don> Dunno why you ask about dns servers
[03:55] <Orbixx> tritium: Odd, then. It seems strange that the program would require resolv.conf at all then.
[03:55] <Don> nothing to do with dial up on kppp
[03:55] <tickleme_eddie> digital7 cool ill take a look
[03:55] <hitman1985> Digital7:  hope that worked :) im not too sure how pidgin handels stuff
[03:55] <drandoss> Help, Thundar Mass removal "search and replace"  Any way too remove the ;;;;;;;  key?
[03:55] <Orbixx> Don: Resolv.conf has stuff to do with dns servers.
[03:55] <Aeonis> where orbixxx?  I see 'uname -r'  but didn't see another one.
[03:55] <jclbrt> Zappp No....
[03:56] <interflop> The Ubuntu 8.10 beta doesn't seem to work with my bcm4318 card.  The driver manager says it's activated but I don't see any wireless networks.  Is there any known issue with the bcm43xx driver?  It worked fine in 8.04.
[03:56] <jclbrt> do you have access to another computer Zappp
[03:56] <Aeonis> ahhh
[03:56] <jclbrt> that way i can talk you through gparted
[03:56] <progek> Has anyone ever gotten sound to play on .3g2 video files? They are videos taken from a phone
[03:56] <njdoyle_> is there a way to get rid of the default "ubuntu" user? Or specifically, how can I get the system to not log in to the 6 VTs automagically?
[03:56] <Aeonis> I did it again and it is working now...  Beginner here.
[03:56] <Don> orbixx, I use kppp on many distros, this 8.04 has /etc/resolv.conf missing
[03:56] <tickleme_eddie> i would really lik to know how i could run konversation on Windows XP
[03:56] <tickleme_eddie> ?
[03:56] <tickleme_eddie> ?
[03:56] <Orbixx> Aeonis: Best thing to do if you don't see it is to run "uname -r" and paste it to where it should be located in your line.
[03:56] <FloodBot2> tickleme_eddie: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[03:56] <Zappp> jclbrt: ya this one im on right now is anonther one comp and i got an external if any backing up is needed
[03:56] <Aeonis> !uname -r
[03:56] <Orbixx> tickleme_eddie: Try another question mark. Someone might answer.
[03:57] <Aeonis> !uname
[03:57] <the_lost_one> Don: if you miss that file, then just create it
[03:57] <Aeonis> Orbixx:  What is "!uname -r"?
[03:57] <Orbixx> I didn't say !uname -r
[03:57] <Don> the lost one, tried many times
[03:57] <Orbixx> I said uname -r
[03:57] <Orbixx> In your terminal.
[03:57] <Orbixx> Don: Just create /etc/resolv.conf then
[03:57] <Orbixx> It's format is as such:
[03:58] <Orbixx> nameserver 127.0.0.1
[03:58] <Don> tried many times
[03:58] <Orbixx> nameserver 123.123.123.123
[03:58] <tritium> !enter | Orbixx
[03:58] <Orbixx> And so forth.
[03:58] <the_lost_one> Don: and what happens? is there some aplication removing it all times or?
[03:58] <Don> the lost one it not there and I cannot create
[03:58] <Eida> Orbixx: look at this --> http://img266.imageshack.us/img266/51/spacedr2.th.png
[03:58] <[BMBU]> Anyone know how to get certified in ubuntu?
[03:59] <zigzags> don: 'gksu nautilus' to give you root abilities to be able to create files in that location
[03:59] <R_YoYo_R> [BMBU], www.ubuntu.com has links
[03:59] <drandoss> Trying too get rid of a ;1 after every file in a ISO...   Setup.exe;1   too many files too manualy change every file,,, there must be a way
[03:59] <[BMBU]> thx
[03:59] <progek> I have gstreamer* installed. Is there a way to get audio with 3g2 files?
[03:59] <the_lost_one> Don: what happens when you open a terminal and tipe sudo touch /etc/resolv.cof ?
[03:59] <Don> zigzags, kde
[03:59] <progek> I've tried mplayer and vlc
[04:00] <Don> the lost one, nothing
[04:00] <Eida> anyone?
[04:00] <nellery> drandoss: try doing it from terminal using *;1
[04:00] <the_lost_one> Don: thatś good
[04:00] <Orbixx> Eida: Do you have access to a GUI, or are you connecting through SSH?
[04:00] <Orbixx> I'm guessing you're using putty.
[04:01] <Eida> i'm using ssh only..this server to far from me
[04:01] <Orbixx> Eida: Use the "du" command to get total sizes of directories and to work out what you can delete.
[04:01] <dime> does anyone know why my onboard nic would suddenly drop every other hour or so?
[04:01] <Zappp> jclbrt you said i have to burn the gparted image (.iso) to a CD right?
[04:02] <Orbixx> Eida: For your information, the root partition (/) contains everything that isn't specified as a partition elsewhere, so try not accidentally deleting something that does not require to be deleted that is on a different partition to the root partition.
[04:02] <jclbrt> yea
[04:02] <Zappp> k just checkin
[04:02] <jclbrt> zappp: yes u do
[04:02] <jclbrt> in theory you can run it from linux, but i dnt ever do that
[04:02] <jclbrt> i dnt trust that feature
[04:02] <Orbixx> Eida: Does that help?
[04:02] <lu6cifer> how do I get four desktops in ubuntu 8.04?
[04:03] <Eida> Orbixx: how to check size using "du" command? i'm newbie only
[04:03] <dime> in v/l/m, it shows Link speed = undefined!, then Link speed = 100Mbps.
[04:03] <R_YoYo_R> lu6cifer, lower right hand corner
[04:03] <Orbixx> Eida: Try changing directory to root, and typing "du -h".
[04:03] <Aeonis> lu6cifer:  I've seen that before.  I'd like to do the same
[04:03] <lu6cifer> yea, but there's only two desktops
[04:03] <R_YoYo_R> lu6cifer, right click it
[04:04] <R_YoYo_R> lu6cifer, preferences
[04:04] <lu6cifer> I see
[04:04] <lu6cifer> thanks
[04:04] <the_lost_one> Don: so, you have now created a resolv.conf empty file, maybe you must add some dns servers, or maybe kppp should complete the work
[04:04] <nellery> !pm | drandoss
[04:04] <nellery> drandoss, using mv *;1 new_filename
[04:04] <Don> the lost one, I give up, sticking with Vista thanks
[04:05] <kuthux> hi, can i login via ssh using the username "apache" while the system is running the apache service ?
[04:05] <drandoss> sorry am new
[04:05] <luckyone> hmm, the thermal sensor applet I just added to my panel doesn't let me show my processor
[04:05] <drandoss> Yes I tryed the *;1 I get  *;1
[04:05] <drandoss> bash: 00000001.TMP;1: command not found
[04:05] <drandoss> bash: 1: command not found
[04:05] <the_lost_one> Don: cool mate :-)
[04:05] <Aeonis> Is there a way to switch between the desktops in Ubuntu?  Like a hot key like "Alt + Tab"?
[04:05] <drandoss> so wait I have too do that a single file at a time?
[04:05] <izinucs> ctrl+alt+arrow keys
[04:05] <tritium> Aeonis: Ctrl-Alt-<arrow keys>
[04:06] <luckyone> I installed a lot of packages, some of those should let me display the temp of my proc on the panel
[04:06] <Aeonis> flippin a that is awesome tritium
[04:06] <tritium> Aeonis: ;)
[04:06] <TheZealot> hey folks, I am having a problem with ftp permissions using vsftpd. I want all the files I upload to have the permissions 755, and I have set the file_open_mode=0755 and local_umask=0755, but neither are functioning properly
[04:06] <TheZealot> any clues?
[04:07] <nellery> drandoss: looks like it.  However, using tab completion in a terminal will make the job a lot easier
[04:07] <Orbixx> TheZealot: Restarted the ftpd?
[04:07] <Zappp> jclbrt: im burning it to a CD now
[04:07] <TheZealot> Orbixx: yes, after every change I restar and reload
[04:07] <Orbixx> Heh, just checking ;)
[04:07] <Orbixx> Easy to forget.
[04:07] <TheZealot> np
[04:07] <drandoss> ah yea that doesnt help me, and how is your chat red too me nellery?
[04:08] <drandoss> this is unreal tournament every single file has a ;1
[04:08] <Orbixx> drandoss: Because he highlighted your nick.
[04:08] <Orbixx> Just like I did above.
[04:08] <Orbixx> When someone mentions your name, it colour codes it.
[04:08] <drandoss> orbixx oh thats awsome
[04:08] <Zappp> jclbrt ok its done burning
[04:08] <Rideh> i really wish ldap used an xml structure
[04:09] <aaronorosen> Hey some how i don't have any files in /boot is there anyway to restore my MBR now?
[04:09] <Orbixx> drandoss: That's why you see a lot of sentences in these places start with people's names. It's to get their attention and stop people from missing things - especially in a big room like this.
[04:09] <aaronorosen> with out reinstall ubuntu
[04:09] <Orbixx> aaronorosen: Reinstall your bootloader (probably grub)
[04:10] <aaronorosen> Orbixx: I can run the grub command when i chroot to that partition off of a live cd.
[04:11] <aaronorosen> Orbixx: when i run root (hd0,0) i get an error 21 saying selected disk does not exist
[04:11] <aaronorosen> Also i have no tab completion there.
[04:11] <nick__> two questions: how can i increase the number of virtual desktops i have (i deleted the switcher on my panel and adding a new one doens't work)
[04:11] <Orbixx> aaronorosen: Check which disks exist then - the contents of /dev/ will likely be different on a livecd.
[04:11] <nick__> and my system under the new kernel is bricked upon instillation of a wireless card driver
[04:11] <izinucs> aaronorosen, is it a sata drive?
[04:11]  * Zappp pokes jclbrt
[04:12] <nick__> how can i get rid of the new kernel or fix it?
[04:12] <aaronorosen> yes it is sata
[04:12] <izinucs> nick__, boot to the old one.
[04:12] <deathcat> join #228
[04:12] <izinucs> aaronorosen, just guessing but if it is plugged into the secondary port for sata the system might read it as hd1,0
[04:12] <jclbrt> yea wats up Zappp sorry
[04:13] <jclbrt> i have 9 ppl asking for help
[04:13] <woli> want to have 10?
[04:13] <woli> i have a script at init.d that won't run at startup
[04:13] <Zappp> jclbrt oh ya do? and i got gparted burned to a CD so whats next?
[04:13] <nick__> sorry about that
[04:14] <jclbrt> Zappp boot from it
[04:14] <aaronorosen> before i chroot how can i mount my /devs because from the chroot isn't seeing those
[04:14] <Zappp> jclbrt from the gparted disk?
[04:15] <kuthux> sorry, repost. can i login via ssh using the username "apache" while the system is running the apache service ?
[04:15] <the_lost_one> aaronorosen: mount -o bind maybe ?
[04:15] <aaronorosen> the_lost_one: where do i want to mount it thouhg.
[04:15] <drandoss> Omg I think im going too have too write something in python too get ;1 off all these files
[04:15] <aaronorosen> I have the partition mounted to /test
[04:16] <the_lost_one> aaronorosen: then you must create /dev
[04:16] <aaronorosen> and i can run chroot /test and i have all my files but for some reason /dev isn't completely coming along.
[04:16] <aaronorosen> so create a /dev/ in /test?
[04:16] <the_lost_one> /test/dev
[04:16] <After_Math> what would stop an Emerald theme from taking affect?
[04:16] <woli> i have a bash at init.d but it won't execute. Could somebody please help me?
[04:16] <After_Math> I loaded a theme, and clicked on it, but no change
[04:16] <woli> bash script
[04:16] <Zappp> jclbrt ok i got gparted booted up, next step?
[04:17] <After_Math> woli, is the srcipt executable
[04:17] <the_lost_one> aaronorosen: and maybe proc too
[04:17] <woli> yes...
[04:17] <woli> i can run it via sudo
[04:17] <aaronorosen> the_lost_one: i'm sorry i'm  little confussed here.
[04:17] <After_Math> woli, then how do you know its not
[04:17] <aaronorosen> so i have a dir /test and then /test/dev
[04:18] <woli> because i have a tablet that requires that script to run.
[04:18] <After_Math> what does the script do
[04:18] <woli> but since a couple of days the tablet stoped working. and i have to manually run it for it to work
[04:18] <woli> it activates the drivers
[04:18] <woli> i have not changed the script
[04:18] <After_Math> woli, you have to uodate-rc
[04:18] <jclbrt> Zappp: go to gparted website
[04:18] <After_Math> update-rc
[04:19] <jclbrt> i dnt have gparted started up right now
[04:19] <jclbrt> i am on IRC
[04:19] <Zappp> k
[04:19] <woli> command not found
[04:19] <After_Math> woli, have to update-rc with some commands for that file
[04:19] <After_Math> woli, one sec
[04:19] <woli> there is update-rc.d though
[04:19] <sleepyh> hi, i was wondering if someone could give me a example of a useful applicaiton they would like but do not have.
[04:19] <B1BLancer1> Hi folks.  I'm very new to Ubuntu.  I hope you don't mind a clueless idiot type question.  Ubuntu has asked me a couple of times to enter my default keyring password.  I have no idea what it would be.  Help?
[04:20] <sleepyh> which can be put into simple words
[04:20] <izinucs> B1BLancer1, not sure but have you tried your normal password?
[04:20] <R_YoYo_R> B1BLancer1, its the same password you use to log in
[04:20] <woli> open System > Preferences > Encryption and keyrings
[04:20] <the_lost_one> aaronorosen: for the proc, you must type mount -t proc none /test/proc
[04:21] <After_Math> woli, in terminal do "update-rc.d 'scriptname' defaults"
[04:21] <Nillerz> http://pastebin.ca/1231511
[04:21] <Nillerz> I'll just leave this here...
[04:21] <After_Math> woli, let me know if that fixes the problem
[04:22] <woli> ok
[04:22] <woli> going to restart to see if it helped...
[04:22] <B1BLancer1> R_YoYo_R: Tried that.  It didn't work
[04:22] <smm289> I have a remote PC, WAN, what would be the best method to access a drive on the remote system, similiar to as if it was a LAN network drive
[04:22] <anewson> hi all
[04:22] <After_Math> heya
[04:23] <Zappp> jclbrt it wont let me make it smaller D: only bigger
[04:23] <the_lost_one> smm289: maybe a ftp server?
[04:23] <jclbrt> well... no... it wont make it smaller as the info may not fit
[04:23] <graeme> anyone know of good data recovery software
[04:23] <jclbrt> you may need to delete it
[04:23] <drandoss> nellery thanks for the help, I did figure out a way too remove huge chunks of characters GPRename is the program thunar works too but not for the odd characters
[04:23] <jclbrt> then recreate it
[04:23] <smm289> the_lost_one: Ya I thought about that, just wondering what my other options might be
[04:24] <jclbrt> but if you delete it u will lose info
[04:24] <After_Math> graeme, off a drive or cd?
[04:24] <Zappp> jclbrt i deleted 50% of the HDD space though
[04:24] <nellery> drandoss: great!
[04:24] <graeme> drive would be prefered I need to recovery a partition
[04:24] <Isilion> help with ATI radeon 9800 pro. installed ATI propietary drivers (catalyst 8.10) because i need 3d acceleration. Its properly installed, fglrxinfo shows ati, xorg.conf shows ati, gears work. but display freezes at launching openarena or compiz in example, and is needed a hard-reboot. details and more info at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=766699&page=5
[04:24] <jclbrt> are you trying to delete the partition completely?
[04:24] <jclbrt> and make it one big partition?
[04:24] <After_Math> graeme, you could easily use Ubuntus livecd
[04:25] <the_lost_one> smm289: samba over openvpn?
[04:25] <graeme> what is the software called
[04:25] <After_Math> graeme, mount the partitions and transfer what you want into a usb or ecternal
[04:25] <After_Math> graeme, just ubuntus livecd
[04:25] <Zappp> no i want to divde the one largest partition into 2-3 so i can install ubuntu as a dual boot
[04:25] <graeme> well i fomated it when I installed ubuntu
[04:25] <woli> After_Math: it worked! thanks..
[04:25] <After_Math> woli, sweet np :)
[04:26] <After_Math> graeme, your out of luck my friend :)
[04:26] <anewson> ﻿hey all having a problem with my new hardy install... i upgraded from 7.10, the did a fresh install of 8.04 when the upgrade didn't work... basically i think the problem is that hardy is seeing my IDE hard drives as scsi or something
[04:26] <B1BLancer1> Can anybody tell me what the default keyring password is supposed to be?  I tried my login password.  Apparently, that's not it.
[04:26] <anewson> i'm a little new so i'm not sure that's right
[04:26] <After_Math> graeme, I dought youll be able to get any information off a drive thats been formated and have a OS installed on
[04:26] <anewson> but cfdisk shows my partitions as sdx instead of hdx
[04:26] <Zappp> @ jclbrt no i want to divde the one largest partition into 2-3 so i can install ubuntu as a dual boot
[04:26] <izinucs> anewson, hardy labels all drives as sdXX
[04:27] <pajamian> anewson: that's normal for hardy
[04:27] <anewson> ah yeah?
[04:27] <After_Math> anewson, and Intrepid
[04:27] <anewson> i'd love to get the exact part the boot dies on
[04:27] <anewson> but i can't seem to mount the sdxs
[04:27] <pajamian> anewson: yep, it does the same for my drive which is ATA
[04:27] <anewson> ubuntu@ubuntu:/$ sudo mount -t auto /dev/sda2 /mount
[04:27] <anewson> mount: special device /dev/sda2 does not exist
[04:28] <anewson> sda2 is taken from cfdisk
[04:28] <anewson> it should be there
[04:28] <anewson> if i can get my hard drive mounted i'll pastebin the dmesg
[04:28] <After_Math> anewson, maybe you have to be specific with the type
[04:28] <tritium> !enter | anewson
[04:28] <anewson> cheers trit
[04:28] <izinucs> anewson, try sudo fdisk -l to locate it
[04:28] <anewson> k
[04:28] <fiber> hi, anyone know of a project like imposter that is recent... i need a standalone player for impress that can also hopefully play inbeded media (export to swf/pdf doesn't do that)
[04:29] <pajamian> anewson: what version of ubuntu are you using to try to mount the drives, and what version of ubuntu is the cfdisk taken from?
[04:29] <Isilion> !ati | Isilion
[04:29] <anewson> i'm on the 8.04 live cd atm
[04:29] <pajamian> anewson: and the cfdisk?
[04:29] <anewson> ditto, i'm using cfdisk here on the live cd
[04:29] <pajamian> anewson: ok, just checking.
[04:30] <karex> HI, anyone could help me with axxio zetta issue?
[04:30] <anewson> specifying the boot type doesn't seem to be working either
[04:30] <anewson> **fs type
[04:30] <TheZealot> hey folks, I am having a problem with ftp permissions using vsftpd. I want all the files I upload to have the permissions 755, and I have set the file_open_mode=0755 and local_umask=0755, but neither are functioning properly--I have restarted the daemon
[04:31] <After_Math> TheZealot, you might want to try FileZilla :)
[04:31] <pajamian> TheZealot: umask should be the opposite, 022 I think.
[04:31] <TheZealot> oh really? ok let me give that a try
[04:32] <anewson> anyone else with ideas on why mount can't see my filesystems?
[04:32] <memeemeee> someone tell me how to load the power applet in x?
[04:32] <After_Math> hmmmwhat!
[04:32] <After_Math> o_0
[04:32] <OSX> http://tinyurl.com/OSXMINI
[04:32] <jclbrt> then make a new partition out of the larger one what are you trying to shrink ???
[04:32] <B1BLancer1> Can anybody help me with a keyring password issue?
[04:32] <After_Math> ban OSX
[04:32] <Orbixx> !ops OSX, posting inappropriate links
[04:32] <pajamian> anewson: can you see sda2 in your /dev directory?
[04:33] <Rideh> easiest way to append the output of a command to the end of a file?
[04:33] <After_Math> !ops | OSX
[04:33] <OSX> thanks
[04:33] <tritium> After_Math: yes?
[04:33] <After_Math> take a look at the link OSX gave
[04:33] <Zappp> jclbrt it wont let me >_> also says there is a bad sector. if i delete it and try making a new one would i have to reinstall windows?
[04:33] <anewson> pajamian: hmm actually no
[04:33] <izinucs> TheZealot, hve you seen http://news.softpedia.com/news/How-to-Install-Vsftpd-in-Ubuntu-45753.shtml
[04:33] <anewson> pajamian: sda is the only one there
[04:33] <nalioth> tritium: taken care of
[04:33] <After_Math> tritium, inappropriate
[04:33] <pajamian> anewson: that would be your problem, then.
[04:33] <anewson> lol guess that explains it. but why aren't the devices there?
[04:34] <pajamian> anewson: what about hda*?
[04:34] <TheZealot> pajamian: it worked! Thank you! Why does it have to be set at 022. That doesn't make sense to me...
[04:34] <memeemeee> someone tell me how to load the power applet in x?
[04:34] <tritium> nalioth: ;)
[04:34] <anewson> pajamian: no /dev/hdx
[04:34] <pajamian> TheZealot: umask specifies the bits that will not be set for file permissions, so it is the opposite of the permission bits.
[04:34] <karex> HI, is it necessary to defragment the disk in ubuntu?
[04:34] <mikmorg> I'm trying to run Flash/Firefox audio through a second sound device, but all of the tips i've read (such as using `aoss`, or linking /tmp/.esd-1000) aren't working; sound is always being directed to the on-board sound device. Can anyone help?
[04:35] <pajamian> anewson: probably something to do with udev not seeing the partitions, then.
[04:35] <Isilion> anyone has an ati radeon working in his pc? with 3d accel?
[04:35] <TheZealot> pajamian: well, that's interesting =) I'm very appreciative of that advice, I would never have figured that out on my own.
[04:35] <anewson> pajamian: which is also probably why ubuntu won't boot, yeah?
[04:35] <mikmorg> side note: rhythmbox is correctly being redirected to the second device after i changed the seetings in System->prefs->sound
[04:36] <pajamian> anewson: and I wish I could say that I'm an expert on udev, but I'm not, but at least now you know a bit more about where to look.  Maybe you can find some info from googling, now.
[04:36] <Zappp> jclbrt it wont let me >_> also says there is a bad sector. if i delete it and try making a new one would i have to reinstall windows?
[04:36] <anewson> yea hold that thought, i'll take a look- thanks for the help sofar pajamian
[04:36] <pajamian> anewson: yw
[04:36] <jclbrt> yes Zappp you would
[04:37] <jclbrt> you should repair the disk first
[04:37] <Zappp> how do i do that?
[04:37] <pajamian> TheZealot: yeah, it is confusing.
[04:37] <jclbrt> with like fdisk or something like that
[04:37] <jclbrt> i just use Apple's Disk utility normally
[04:37] <jclbrt> but ur on PC i dunno how on that
[04:38] <ajhtiredwolf> Something got seriously messed up, my screen resolution will not go to anythinb but 640x480 now, I tried doing sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg but that has only made things worse
[04:38] <After_Math> Zappp, reformat it with fdisk or cfdisk
[04:39] <Zappp> im fine with reformatting as long as it doesnt require a reinstall of windows XP wich i cant do
[04:39] <tgraupmann> Is there a mac emulator that works on Ubuntu? I wanted to run a dmg package
[04:39] <jclbrt> Zappp reformatting would require a reinstall of XP
[04:39] <Zappp> urg
[04:39] <After_Math> Zappp, sorry I misunderstood
[04:39] <B1BLancer1> Can anybody help me with a default keyring password issue?
[04:41] <LV_Home> I have a T20, and was trying to debug sound-after-resume, and now I have no sound at all... I'm a linux expert but a desktop noob... how do I get sound wokrrking agian?
[04:41] <tgraupmann> Actually it's an emulator for mpkg
[04:41] <After_Math> B1BLancer1, for your network?
[04:42] <izinucs> B1BLancer1, did you happen to change your primary password prior to this keyrinig problem?
[04:43] <B1BLancer1> After_Math : I was trying to get evolution mail set up, and in the set up process it said I needed to enter the password to unlock the default keyring.
[04:43] <Zappp> ok i got an idea how i can do this but i need to know if/how to convert a .rar to a .iso
[04:44] <After_Math> B1BLancer1, i see
[04:44] <liza0> hello
[04:44] <liza0> can games like WoW be played on ubuntu ?
[04:44] <ghotimaster> if you have a super fast computer
[04:44] <izinucs> liza0, yes via "wine"
[04:44] <ghotimaster> and wine
[04:44] <B1BLancer1> izinucs : I don't think so.  I wouldn't know how to do that.
[04:44] <nellery> liza0: WoW is compatible with Wine
[04:44] <nellery> !wine
[04:44] <liza0> nice
[04:45] <ghotimaster> you got wine liza0?
[04:45] <liza0> no
[04:45] <coil> !gparted
[04:45] <liza0> i will install it
[04:45] <ghotimaster> cool
[04:45] <pajamian> Zappp: that depends on what is in the .rar
[04:45] <After_Math> B1BLancer1, maybe this? http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-813201.html
[04:45] <venger> ubottu should mention the #winehq channel for the !wine factoid
[04:46] <nellery> yes he should..
[04:46] <the_lost_one> haha
[04:46] <Zappp> pajamian: its got a .ccd, .img and a .sub in it
[04:46] <pajamian> Zappp: the .img is probably the same as a .iso
[04:47] <Zappp> but do i need the other two files also?
[04:47] <After_Math> B1BLancer1, also maybe this System->Preferences->Encyption and Keyrings then
[04:47] <After_Math> highlight the password keyring "login" then click Remove Keyring then reboot.
[04:47] <After_Math> sorry for double post
[04:48] <pajamian> Zappp: what is it for?
[04:48] <memeemeee> someone tell me how to load the power applet in x?
[04:48] <B1BLancer1> After_Math : ok.  I'll give that a try.  Thanks!
[04:48] <bpat1434> I'm having an issue with xorg, for whatever reason if the screensaver goes active, x seems to shut down even though I have it set up not to
[04:49] <Zappp> pajamian: its a .rar called windows XP pro SP2 image and it has image.ccd , image.img and image.sub in it
[04:49] <After_Math> B1BLancer1, np
[04:49] <the_lost_one> Zappp: command file will say what kind of file is, just a tip that sometimes help when dealing with that :) and you only need the img file
[04:50] <liza0> would there anything extra that  would need to do if running wine on 64 bit Ubuntu ?
[04:50] <pajamian> Zappp: right you only need the img file, the other files are probably text files and may contain helpful info, so read them with a text editor (or less)
[04:51] <kuthux> how to show available usernames on a system ?
[04:51] <After_Math> How do you enable emerald themes?
[04:51] <pajamian> kuthux: I usually just: cat /etc/passwd
[04:51] <maddash> kuthux: users
[04:52] <maddash> kuthux: less typing with mine. cleaner, simpler, more efficient. releases less greenhouse gases too
[04:52] <Zappp> i opened one with a text editer and its just gibberish
[04:52] <kuthux> pajamian: there is a long list of users
[04:53] <izinucs> maddash, why when typing "users" I get my user name listed 3 times?
[04:53] <kuthux> maddash: root isn't displayed. is it alright ?
[04:53] <maddash> kuthux: i think root is ALWAYS there.
[04:53] <maddash> kuthux: hence the name, "root"
[04:53] <izinucs> maddash, root didn't show up for me either.
[04:54] <pajamian> kuthux: users won't display all users, just the normal ones.
[04:54] <kuthux> maddash: ok then. thx
[04:55] <bpat1434> I'm having an issue with xorg, for whatever reason if the screensaver goes active, x seems to shut down even though I have it set up not to
[04:55] <pajamian> kuthux: actually users does something entirely different
[04:55] <the_lost_one> thats why i always cat passwd :)
[04:55] <pajamian> kuthux: users displays a list of *logged in* users
[04:55] <kuthux> maddash: users - print the user names of users currently logged in to the current host
[04:55] <izinucs> pajamian, why would users list my username 3 times?
[04:56] <pajamian> izinucs: because the system sees you as logged in 3 times
[04:56] <memeemeee> someone tell me how to load the power applet in x?
[04:56] <Isilion> if i only just bought a nvidia...
[04:56] <Isilion> help with ATI radeon 9800 pro. installed ATI propietary drivers (catalyst 8.10) because i need 3d acceleration. Its properly installed, fglrxinfo shows ati, xorg.conf shows ati, gears work. but display freezes at launching openarena or compiz in example, and is needed a hard-reboot. details and more info at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=766699&page=5
[04:56] <izinucs> pajamian, does that mean something is amiss?  I've only logged in once for the machine.
[04:57] <the_lost_one> izinucs: try "who"
[04:57] <pajamian> izinucs: nope, don't worry about it, it displays my username 10 times
[04:57] <ajhtiredwolf> Isilion, I am in here trying to get help with a nvidia problem, it isnt all golden :P
[04:57] <kuthux> pajamian: about the user on the list in /etc/passwd , they are not all available to login via ssh, right? or can i use any of them to log in ?
[04:58] <pajamian> kuthux: no, you can't
[04:58] <izinucs> the_lost_one, I've got tty7 (the gui) .. pts/0 & pts/1.. not sure what pts is.
[04:58] <Kr0ntab> izinucs: users shows you how many user sessions are active.  each terminal and various applications create their own session.
[04:58] <Isilion> ajhtiredwolf at least nvidia drivers are good, propietaryes and opensourced. ATI drivers just sux. cant install by themselves and doest work at all...
[04:58] <the_lost_one> kuthux: pay atention to the shell they have /bin/nologin or /bin/false
[04:58] <kunwon1> kuthux, some are, usually just standard users and root, also depending on your ssh configuration
[04:58] <izinucs> Kr0ntab, that makes sense
[04:58] <Kr0ntab> one is typically your desktop session... the second is your terminal...  open another terminal and you'll see the third
[04:58] <After_Math> is there some app out there that is better then the original system manager. Something like super task manager for windows?
[04:58] <izinucs> Kr0ntab, yep I've got 2 terminal open..
[04:59] <ajhtiredwolf> Isilion, ive had problems with both :(, people hardly respond to question about nvidia or ati in here htough, I think because they are usually hard to answer
[04:59] <izinucs> verified.. thank Kr0ntab
[04:59] <pajamian> kuthux: what the_lost_one just said about shell, also if the user_id (third column) is 1000 or greater then chances are it's a normal user and you can log into it via ssh.
[04:59] <Kr0ntab> izinucs: np  :-)
[05:00] <goldie> Hello, I want to install windows xp but its not installing it goes straight to linux even if I make boot 1st cd rom.
[05:00] <Isilion> ajhtiredwolf not so usually. this is the first time that noone answer me for hours. last time it took 5 mins
[05:00] <the_lost_one> izinucs: about pts, easy, http://linux.die.net/man/4/pts
[05:00] <ajhtiredwolf> Isilion, ive only been able to get help with a display problem in here once :-P. The solution was to reinstall though unfortunately hah
[05:00] <kuthux> the_lost_one n pajamian thx, i'll try.
[05:01] <izinucs> the_lost_one, thanks for the link.  interesting
[05:01] <the_lost_one> izinucs: yeah, linux power :)
[05:01] <Zappp> urg i tried booting from the .img disk but it didnt work
[05:01] <henson> ok, this is going to sound idiotic: Is there anything like msconfig in Ubuntu that I could use to disable unnecessary startup items & services?
[05:02] <kuthux> the_lost_one n pajamian, users that i can use to login have "/bin/bash" right ?
[05:02] <venger> ajhtiredwolf, what card model and what driver version?
[05:02] <pajamian> kuthux: yes, usually

[05:03] <kuthux> the_lost_one & pajamian thx@lot guys!
[05:03] <Isilion> ajhtiredwolf that doesnt bother me. i have a clean xubuntu install with ati propietary drivers properly installed (fglrx shows ati, xorg.conf sows ati, ati is everywhere in every command that can list it; and gears work. but for some reason, openarena, compiz, whatever3d hagns computer and i need to harreboot.) waiting for someone who tells me whats wrong
[05:03] <the_lost_one> kuthux: np :)
[05:03] <ajhtiredwolf> venger, the 8800gt, im trying to use the latest nvidia driver. But it doesnt work without it either, vesa doesnt recognize it.
[05:04] <goldie> Hello, I want to install windows xp but its not installing it goes straight to linux even if I make boot 1st cd rom.
[05:04] <ajhtiredwolf> venger, when starting I have to select it manually, nvidia, 8 series, then it will boot in this super low resolution, right now I dont have the nvidia hardware acceleration driver enabled.
[05:04] <Isilion> i sent tickets to ati support to, and they only do automated replys till the moment. now 2 complains are in the Work-in-progress state. in One i suggest them to fix the driver, in the other i tell them that the driver doesnt work at all
[05:04] <izinucs> goldie, it's a conspiracy.. perhaps ##windows can answer that question
[05:04] <the_lost_one> goldie: your computer dosnt want windows again :)
[05:04] <venger> ajhtiredwolf, what method are you using to install?
[05:05] <smil3y> goldie>  apt-get downgrade-windows  or join a windows channel
[05:05] <ajhtiredwolf> venger, the nvidia driver? that is already been installed. It has been working for quite a while, what happened was it crashed while loading a program that had a different resolution ( a virtual desktop )
[05:05] <ajhtiredwolf> venger, so what i did was sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, that made things worse
[05:05] <anewson> goldie: you just walked into a ferrari dealership and asked for help parking your civic
[05:06] <abstractEntity> hi i need some help to install jboss seam
[05:06] <goldie> i wanted to have both windows and linux. so I installed linux first.
[05:06] <kunwon1> ajhtiredwolf, have you tried nvidia-settings?
[05:07] <ajhtiredwolf> kunwon1, i havnet, i dont currently have that installed
[05:07] <kunwon1> should be able to redo your xorg.conf properly for your card
[05:07] <smil3y> goldie>  do you have a partition thats empty on your drive?
[05:07] <abstractEntity> i downloaded a tar.gz file
[05:07] <beebird> oh,if you installed linux first, maybe it is hard to install windows.
[05:07] <pajamian> goldie: you need to change the boot order in your BIOS configuration.
[05:07] <smil3y> goldie>  large enough for it?
[05:07] <ajhtiredwolf> kunwon1, let me try and install that and see if it can do anything
[05:08] <venger> ajhtiredwolf, again, what method did you use to install? envy? binary installer?
[05:08] <abstractEntity> who can help me?
[05:08] <goldie> i put hdd1 for linux to take all 40 gb
[05:08] <lliw00> is there a way to use both a wired and a wireless connection at the same time on hardy/
[05:09] <the_lost_one> abstractEntity: whats up
[05:09] <ajhtiredwolf> venger, to install the nvidia driver? The update manager downloaded it automatically. to install it, i just uded the "Hardware Drivers" program
[05:09] <abstractEntity> hi the_lost_one
[05:09] <goldie> ok i am going to reinstall linux and put 20 gb only
[05:09] <abstractEntity> how can i install jboss seam in ubuntu?
[05:09] <anewson> hey all an update on my problem... although the livecd cfdisk sees my sda1-4 partitions, they don't appear in /dev/... however, my second hardrive which is NTFS, shows up as /dev/sdb1 and mounts fine
[05:09] <venger> ajhtiredwolf, dmesg | grep -i nvidia plz
[05:09] <predator363> all: i am having display issues with ubuntu i am fairly new to linux and dont know what to do (more details apon response)
[05:09] <goldie> ill be back in a hour if i need more help
[05:09] <smil3y> goldie>  well you need to partition the drive and take maybe 10 gig for windows
[05:09] <ajhtiredwolf> [   34.346790] nvidia: module license 'NVIDIA' taints kernel.
[05:09] <ajhtiredwolf> [   34.598795] NVRM: loading NVIDIA UNIX x86_64 Kernel Module  169.12  Thu Feb 14 17:51:09 PST 2008
[05:10] <anewson> seems like the problem is just for that drive... does that mean it's any more or less likely it's udev? is there some way to try and detect sda again, and log the output?
[05:10] <abstractEntity> the_lost_one i have a tar.gz file
[05:10] <the_lost_one> abstractEntity: you checked first with apt-get?
[05:10] <predator363> all: i am having display issues with ubuntu i am fairly new to linux and dont know what to do (more details apon response)
[05:11] <goldie> smil3y is there a way to do it without reinstalling ubuntu
[05:11] <ajhtiredwolf> venger, do you think I should try running nvidia-xconfig?
[05:11] <venger> ajhtiredwolf,  you should try to reinstall the restricted drivers or personally i would removed it and get on a newer version using the binary installer
[05:11] <abstractEntity> no
[05:11] <izinucs> predator363, what kind of vid card?
[05:11] <predator363> nvidia 8200m
[05:11] <the_lost_one> abstractEntity: then you migth find it in a easy way
[05:11] <venger> ajhtiredwolf, the dpkg-reconfigure should have simplied the xorg, did you ever put nvidia under the driver section back in?
[05:11] <kavon> so i've got a 1.5 terabyte transfer a month, 150gb web server sitting around not being used like at all... can i become a mirror for ubuntu?
[05:11] <ajhtiredwolf> venger, well first it needs to be able to detect my card correctly and create a valid xorg.conf is that correct?
[05:11] <predator363> izinucs: sorry forgot to put your name infont
[05:12] <anewson> abstractEntity: if you want to use the tar.gz you have to extract it, then compile the program yourself... type "man tar" in a terminal
[05:12] <anewson> abstractEntity: like the_lost_one says though, it will be much easier if you find it in a repository
[05:12] <izinucs> predator363, check under system/admin/hardware drivers and see if there is a restricted driver there that needs to be activated
[05:12] <tasd> "partial" install problem with wubi.  advise would be appreciated
[05:12] <abstractEntity> ok thank you
[05:12] <venger> ajhtiredwolf, off the top of my head  Driver "nvidia" under device i believe
[05:12] <ajhtiredwolf> venger, I think it does when you enable the driver, right now my xorg is the false safe one generated from selecting the card manually
[05:12] <predator363> izinucs: it wont let me past the warning! running in low graphics mode screen
[05:13] <proqesi> the fstab format has changed.  could someone explain how I would modify the hard drive device when it isn't displayed in human readable text? (like /dev/hdb1 instead of /dev/hda1)
[05:13] <izinucs> predator363, what warning?
[05:13] <predator363> izinucs: i am currently in vista
[05:13] <ajhtiredwolf> venger, want me to rundpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and hten add it?
[05:13] <venger> ajhtiredwolf, pastebin your xorg.conf
[05:13] <tr-ee> I am trying to get iptables to allow incoming connections on port 80 and forward them to an internal apache server. I can not get it to work. Could someone look at my iptables rules and tell me if there is something wrong?
[05:14] <izinucs> proqesi, use blkid to identify the uuid of drives/partitions
[05:14] <ajhtiredwolf> venger, http://pastebin.com/m1eb4a7a4
[05:14] <pajamian> proqesi: just put /dev/hdb1, it should work just as well.
[05:14] <Decepticon> is ubuntu smart enough that i can turn it off, add a new wifi card and a pvr150 tv tuner card, and reboot, that it'll recognize the stuff and use it
[05:14] <the_lost_one> tr-ee: use pastebin, and will see
[05:14] <predator363> izinucs: when i boot into ubuntu it loads the x server and then pops up a little window telling me to choos the options of troubleshooting (which does nothing) or configureing displaydrivers (which iv tinkered with and havent chaged anything cos i can figure it out)
[05:14] <h1k0> is there somebody that well know about ubuntu security? i need somebody to help me to check my server vulnerabilities
[05:14] <tr-ee> the_lost_one, is it ok if I link you to my forum post?
[05:15] <pajamian> Decepticon: yes
[05:15] <tasd> "partial" install problem with wubi. Able to get to heron background, but then the 'format space for partition never loads.  any thoughts?
[05:15] <the_lost_one> tr-ee: no prob

[05:16] <venger> ajhtiredwolf, you have a modeline for 640x480 and you are also telling it to use it with the modes entry...are you working with a tv or a monitor?
[05:16] <anewson> hey all what's this "Hardware Testing" on the livecd? it wants me to submit a report to launchpad.. i just want to see the diagnostic- it's not going to make a new question on launchpad is it?
[05:16] <ajhtiredwolf> venger, with a tv
[05:16] <ajhtiredwolf> venger, sorry with a monitor*
[05:16] <predator363> izinuc: ?
[05:16] <After_Math> lol
[05:17] <ajhtiredwolf> venger, flat screen 22in, wanting the resolution 1680x1050
[05:17] <jim_p> !debports
[05:17] <kulfi> looking for some advice on which Ubuntu to install (desktop or server)
[05:17] <izinucs> predator363, well ya gotta get your feet wet sometime.. go with the configuring display drivers and see what you can do.. it's much easier to help when you're actually in the system.  Google "irssi" for a command line irc client in linux.. it's actually easy.. ctrl+alt+F2 will get you to a text screen to install and load irssi.. ctrl+alt+f7 get's you to the gui.. by bouncing back and forth you can fix the system.
[05:18] <kulfi> i'm looking to set up a sandbox web dev environment (Apache, mySql) and would also like samba + remote desktop
[05:18] <Decepticon> how do i get to the terminal
[05:18] <Decepticon> with virtual consoles
[05:18] <kulfi> should i install server or desktop editions for that?
[05:19] <ajhtiredwolf> venger, when it doesnt recognize the card, a widnows comes up asking me to select the card manually, i do so, i tell it nvidia, and then select 8 series, and it creates that xog.conf
[05:19] <predator363> izinuc: yea i know how to get into command line how would i install the command line irc from say a thumb drive?
[05:19] <memeemeee> anyone know how to load battery applet in X11?
[05:20] <venger> ajhtiredwolf, the nv driver probably can't handle a 8800gt.   remove the restricted driver package, download the latest nvidia binary for your arch, switch to vt and stop gdm, dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, sh  NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-177.80-pkg2.run and let it update the canned xorg.conf
[05:20] <izinucs> kulfi, server and if you need a gui at some point you can install it on top
[05:20] <lliw00> how do i change the port that ssh operates on?
[05:20] <kulfi> so server comes w/o gui?
[05:20] <tasd> wubi load problem.  'format space ofr partition ubuntu/disk/...' never loads.  (stuck at 0%) any ideas?
[05:20] <kulfi> @izinucs, server doesn't have a windowing system?
[05:20] <Phulion> http://www.sexy-lena.com/en/?uid=29846
[05:20] <scott> Correct
[05:20] <predator363> izinuc: also im on a wireless connection its all i can get for now
[05:20] <anewson> ok new info all.... gparted says of my sda partitions (which it sees): WARNING - the device /dev/sda1 doesn't exist. Probably /etc/mtab is missing
[05:21] <izinucs> predator363, not sure.. but if you're at the command line then "sudo apt-get install irssi"  ... then irssi to start.. then "/server irc.freenode.net"  .. then /join #ubuntu
[05:21] <tr-ee> the_lost_one, are you lookin at my post?
[05:21] <anewson> what's /etc/mtab, and could it have anything to do with this?
[05:21] <ajhtiredwolf> venger, sorry I dont mean to be a pain but how do you remove the restricted driver package, where can I find the binary driver for my arch and what is vt, how do i stop gdm?
[05:21] <Decepticon> pajamian what do toyu mean by yes
[05:21] <Decepticon> pajamian or is it better to do a reinstall with the hardware in place
[05:21] <izinucs> kulfi, server is text based only.. to install a gui on top you can sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop or xubuntu-desktop or kubuntu-desktop
[05:22] <predator363> Izinuc: how would i configure a wireless connection in command line?
[05:22] <the_lost_one> tr-ee: yeah, im looking at my rules
[05:22] <kulfi> thanks izinucs!
[05:22] <jacosta> if i unstall the ubuntu 8.10 beta, ill I be able to upgrade it after the official launch
[05:22] <izinucs> predator363, that I don't have the answer to .. sorry
[05:22] <predator363> dang
[05:22] <venger> ajhtiredwolf, you should be able to just use the driver manager icon and remove it since you installed it via the same icon, no?
[05:22] <scott> I would sudo aptitude rather than apt-get for installing a gui (in case you want to return to remove the package later)
[05:22] <paul68> !8.10 |jacosta
[05:22] <Azlx> hello everyone.
[05:22] <izinucs> kulfi, np :)
[05:23] <ajhtiredwolf> venger, nahh there is just an option to enable disable it there, is that what you meant? just disable it?
[05:23] <mooeee> hm weird
[05:23] <mooeee> my web browsers arestuck as if the net's dead
[05:23] <mooeee> but im obviously connected
[05:23] <predator363> im gunna go to ubuntu+1 cos intrepid is all i can get runnign at all on my machine
[05:23] <venger> ajhtiredwolf, ya disable it -- i think it uninstalls the package, but don't quote me on that since i haven't used that method in ages
[05:23] <jacosta> !8.10
[05:24] <Azlx> ok, here latly my dtpc is running ubuntu, and its running pretty much everything SLOW, to the point of me concidering switching back to windows xp, I NEED HELP, save my soul from windows!!!
[05:24] <ajhtiredwolf> venger, is there a different mehtod, because for some reason it is saying it is enabled ( even though it isnt and the box next to enable isnt checked )
[05:24] <ajhtiredwolf> venger, but understatus it says that it is " in use"
[05:24] <anewson> is there some way to manually run udev detection?
[05:25] <henson> alright.. thunar or rox?
[05:25] <anewson> rox!
[05:25] <anewson> only problem with rox is there's no shortcut to rename files
[05:25] <venger> ajhtiredwolf, lets check pkgs first, pastebin the following:  dpkg -l "nvidia*"; dpkg -l "*restricted*"
[05:25] <anewson> other than that it's far sexier
[05:26] <henson> anewson: The whole, "an application is a directory" thing sort of scares me
[05:26] <henson> I'm afraid it'll just leave junk everywhere (somehow)

[05:28] <Enissay> when i try to read an .mpg video with vlc or Movie Player, i got a black screen!!! how can i fix that please?
[05:28] <anewson> is there some way to manually run udev detection?
[05:28] <venger> ajhtiredwolf, sudo apt-get remove nvidia-glx-new nvidia-settings
[05:28] <the_lost_one> tr-ee: of course, but first i open the port with another rule
[05:28] <ajhtiredwolf> venger, done
[05:29] <anewson> henson: application dirs? isn't that only for the rox desktop?
[05:29] <goldie> Is there a way to format my hdd and wont load gurb.
[05:29] <tr-ee> the_lost_one, well, when I do that for mine it does not show port 80 being open
[05:29] <venger> ajhtiredwolf, go to nvidia.com and download the binary driver 177.80 -- are you on 64 or 32bit?
[05:29] <ajhtiredwolf> venger, 64
[05:29] <sd32> ubuntu is from the isle of man?

[05:31] <ajhtiredwolf> venger, lol im really sorry to ask this, but can you link me to it, the resolution is so small i cant dispaly the page properly
[05:31] <Nytelord> help please.
[05:31] <anewson> rox is a little less familiar than thunar, but it's really far sleeker once you get the swing of it, imo
[05:31] <anewson> though like i said, the lack of a rename shortcut is a real pain
[05:32] <tr-ee> the_lost_one, i'll try it

[05:50] <Spudz> ubuntu__: what do you get?  You get a login prompt?
[05:50] <DorothyJean> support please.
[05:50] <Q_Continuum> Okay, this bug is getting annoying.  After my laptop's been on for 8+ hours, apps will hang on launch, and despite me killing the process, never launch again until I reboot.  Also, all the gnome bars (top and bottom) on the desktop are 'hung' as well.  Restarting X doesn't work, I have to drop to one of the other terminals to force a reboot.

[05:51] <losher> WIGGMPk: if everyone was a genius, our salaries would go down...
[05:51] <tukanglas> hoi,,

[05:52] <ubuntu__> yes, i get the regular login promt (it's the one for kubuntu; i installed the packages for kubuntu on my ubuntu 8.04 install), but gnone is the default gui....
[05:52] <DorothyJean> four options... for ubuntu and two for windows... they both load but I'd like to just stick with two.

[05:53] <venger> ajhtiredwolf1, the driver is pretty smart at auto detecting things, i go with that first until it fails

[05:53] <ajhtiredwolf1> venger or just parts?
[05:53] <venger> ajhtiredwolf1, ya use it it will rely on dpms to get data
[05:54] <losher> WIGGMPk: I've never used it myself, which is why I redirected you to google
[05:54] <anewson> ubuntu__: sounds like the X server is crashing, and it's restarting GDM.. could be a lot of reasons. take a look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[05:54] <Spudz> can anyone prime me on the basics: how to make my ubuntubox share its interenet via wireless card?
[05:54] <complexity> anyone know what this means missing x11-dev-stuff, install it.
[05:54] <anewson> did you try updating your video drivers last time you were on?
[05:55] <Spudz> I don't know where to start
[05:55] <venger> ajhtiredwolf1, you can dump Option "DynamicTwinView" "False" if you want i use that to make a wine app happy
[05:55] <ubuntu__> what should that tell me? if it's crashing?
[05:55] <anewson> ubuntu__: exactly, and hopefully why
[05:55] <ubuntu__> cool.

[05:56] <complexity> anyone know what this means missing x11-dev-stuff, install it.
[05:57] <anewson> ubuntu__: come to think of it, i'm not sure i'm on the right track... if GDM is booting, then your X server can't be that wanked
[05:57] <tukanglas> katrok
[05:57] <ubuntu__> what if it updated my video drivers, and that was it?
[05:57] <anewson> yea i don't think it would just update those without asking, though i don't really know
[05:57] <the_dude> whats the command line to search for the name of the app. like search firefox, and then it appears the name to install or remove, like fire3_0
[05:57] <ajhtiredwolf1> venger sighhh still only one res for me to choose from
[05:57] <anewson> also like i said, if you see GDM, it can't be that messed up... maybe try another session? like xfce instead of gnome, or kde or something?
[05:58] <venger> ajhtiredwolf1, what panel is it?
[05:58] <ubuntu__> i can log in w/ the command prompt after pushing control + alt + f2

[05:58] <ubuntu__> and in the graphical mode, i can restart x server w/ ease
[05:59] <venger> ajhtiredwolf1, i'd stop using that setup, that is what's dumping those config options in there... did you do that again after you put in my conf?

[05:59] <venger> opened what
[05:59] <benzss> i just removed something accidentally from 'startup programs' in sessions and want to put it back, only i don't fully remember its name... it was something like 'gshare daemon'. does anyone know the full name?
[05:59] <ubuntu__> it does the same thing when i select kde / gnome  as the session type or whatever
[05:59] <ajhtiredwolf1> venger screen resolution in preferences
[05:59] <ajhtiredwolf1> venger whaht manager should i use?
[06:00] <anewson> ubuntu__: ok. did you check out that log?
[06:00] <the_dude> whats the command line to search for the name of the app. like search firefox, and then it appears the name to install or remove, like fire3_0
[06:00] <karab44> Hi once again... I do not have an Transmission tray icon... somehow
[06:00] <venger> ajhtiredwolf1, don't worry about picking devices thats for presets, we dont want that here ... make sure my conf is at /etc/X11/xorg.conf and is clean of any new options
[06:00] <ubuntu__> no. i'll have to reboot and reinstall this program again to get back w/ u after i check that out
[06:00] <ubuntu__> (i'm on the live cd)
[06:01] <anewson> the_dude: not sure if this is what you're looking for, but you could just do a 'locate'
[06:01] <ajhtiredwolf1> venger it looks to be yes
[06:01] <venger> ajhtiredwolf1, to next step is to pastebin /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[06:01] <ubuntu__> what if i uninstalled my video drivers?
[06:01] <anewson> ubuntu__: ok..which program?
[06:01] <the_dude> anewson, yes its not for me, its for a guy at the forum, i told him that a few minutes ago

[06:04] <anewson> when you see the partition that root is mounted on, do "mount -t auto /dev/(whatever) /mnt"
[06:04] <DorothyJean> how do you make the Vista OS the primary and the Ubu the secondary OS.
[06:04] <anewson> replace (whatever) with the root partition
[06:04] <anewson> example: /dev/sda1

[06:05] <DorothyJean> they both work.
[06:05] <venger> ajhtiredwolf1, ya the monitor
[06:05] <anewson> DorothyJean: you want it so that if you don't press any buttons when grub loads, it will boot windows instead of linux?

[06:05] <DorothyJean> but when it boots it give me a black screen with many options of which operating system to use.

[06:07] <lliw00> anyone know how to get ssh working on a different port otehr than 22?
[06:07] <anewson> DorothyJean: there should be comments in the actual file
[06:08] <ajhtiredwolf1> lliw00 did you try changing the port in the sshconfig ?
[06:08] <venger> ajhtiredwolf1, with no edid you could end up having to list modes, modelines as well
[06:08] <l1208> i need upgrading from ubuntu 5.10 to 8.04
[06:08] <anewson> DorothyJean: the comments should walk you though what to do
[06:08] <ubuntu__> it says only root can do that
[06:08] <ajhtiredwolf1> lliw00 or are people just not being able to connect to it on that port?
[06:08] <ajhtiredwolf1> DorothyJean the operating systems listed in theer are the ones that you can choose from, move the one you want as default to be  the first one listed in that file

[06:09] <kunwon1> predator363, mv is a command, needs a space after it, and I believe the directory is named X11 not x11, case matters
[06:09] <anewson> ubuntu__: you need to type "sudo" in front of the mount command
[06:09] <ubuntu__> ah.
[06:09] <predator363> OH!! yea im so stupid i dident cap

[06:10] <DorothyJean> help. how does it change the boot?
[06:10] <lliw00> ajhtiredwolf1, im doing this over ssh, so if i stop it, i cant restart it
[06:10] <DorothyJean> :-/
[06:10] <ajhtiredwolf1> lliw00 good point
[06:11] <ajhtiredwolf1> lliw00 I think i remember that happening to me too
[06:11] <anewson> DorothyJean: find the part in the menu.lst file where all the different operating systems are listed, then move your windows one to the top, like ajh said
[06:11] <ajhtiredwolf1> lliw00 make sure that the file is syntatically correct
[06:11] <EdUdE> Running intrepid ibex and my screen goes black when i try to resize a movie anyone else expireincing this?
[06:11] <venger> ajhtiredwolf1, http://www.taet.com.au/mb.nsf/d6plinks/WEBB-79HERK
[06:11] <HoNgOuRu> how can I install flashplugin with swiftfox and intel x86_64 ?
[06:11] <lliw00> ajhtiredwolf1, /etc/ssh/ssh_config, or /etc/ssh/sshd_config
[06:12] <lliw00> because as far as i can tell, both are correct
[06:12] <ajhtiredwolf1> lliw00 hang on oen sec, brb
[06:12] <lliw00> ok
[06:12] <DorothyJean> did i mention that I have a partitan? I don't see the vista operating system.
[06:12] <l1208> is it possible to upgrande from 5.10 to 8.04 just by typing sudo aptitude upgrade
[06:12] <DorothyJean> what's its code.
[06:13] <kunwon1> l1208, no
[06:13] <l1208> i need you help if you dont mind
[06:13] <ajhtiredwolf1> venger alrighty so put that line under screen in xorg.conf?
[06:13] <tritium> !upgrade | l1208
[06:13] <kunwon1> l1208, you'll have to upgrade to each individual release between 5.10 and 8.04, it will take many hours
[06:13] <venger> ajhtiredwolf1, no he basically resorted to a custom EDID bin file which doesn't seem to be available on that site
[06:13] <ubuntu__> hello?
[06:14] <kunwon1> l1208, easier to reinstall if that's at all possible
[06:14] <l1208> thanks
[06:14] <ubuntu__> i says it's mounted. nothing happened though. just siad i'm out of disk space
[06:14] <ajhtiredwolf1> venger crap
[06:14] <l1208> but i dont have all the cds
[06:15] <venger> ajhtiredwolf1, that would be ideal, your other option is to use custom modelines or you may need to rollback before 169.12 on the drivers
[06:15] <ajhtiredwolf1> venger Let's try modelines how would I do that?
[06:15] <kunwon1> l1208, you're looking at about two to three hours per upgrade probably, and five of them to do I think.. it would probably be much less time consuming to download the cd images, burn them, and install them
[06:16] <HoNgOuRu> how can I install flashplugin with swiftfox
[06:16] <HoNgOuRu> how can I install flashplugin with swiftfox and intel x86_64 ?
[06:16] <venger> ajhtiredwolf1, search that panel make model + xorg.conf, look for those who have a solution, you dont want to reinvent the wheel on this, much time to be spent mucking with modelines
[06:16] <aflack> the audio coming from my speakers is staticy and echos while any sound tries to play through it, anyone help?
[06:17] <ubuntu__> what do i do w/ my partition now that it's on /mnt???
[06:17] <ubuntu__> :(
[06:17] <ajhtiredwolf1> venger crap, so after all this time it is just the monitor?
[06:17] <aflack> lol ^ ^ ^
[06:17] <venger> ajhtiredwolf1, ya in conjuction with code changes since 169.12 i do believe
[06:17] <aflack> ﻿ the audio coming from my speakers is staticy and echos while any sound tries to play through it, anyone help? :)
[06:18] <ajhtiredwolf1> venger how irritating, the monitor being one of the most pricey parts to replace heh
[06:18] <anewson> hey all, my problem in a nutshell: although my hard drive shows up in lshw, it doesn't show up in /dev/. cfdisk also sees the partitions, but without the /dev/ entries, i can't mount them... how do i get /dev/ entries for them?
[06:18] <aflack> ﻿ the audio coming from my speakers is staticy and echos while any sound tries to play through it, anyone help? please :)
[06:19] <ajhtiredwolf1> vengerhmm i see a post saying that a guy just inserted the resolution manually into his xorg, how would i do that?
[06:19] <ajhtiredwolf1> venger unfortunately some times people forgot to say specifically what they did, instead of what worked
[06:19] <anewson> ajhtiredwolf1: edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[06:20] <ajhtiredwolf1> anewson I know but i dont know how to insert custom resolutions
[06:20] <anewson> right at the bottom where the other resolutions are, just add your own
[06:20] <aflack> ﻿ the audio coming from my speakers is staticy and echos while any sound tries to play through it, anyone help?
[06:20] <histo> Alright wierd problem with tab completion. I can use tab completion on the first command ex: sud<tab> would type in sudo but I can't do sudo apti<tab> it won't complete.  or screen irss<tab> etc....
[06:20] <anewson> with the refresh rates, etc
[06:20] <anewson> and make sure it's on the top so it loads by default... however if the system doesn't think you can support that resolution, it will skip to the next one
[06:21] <aflack> ﻿ the audio coming from my speakers is staticy and echos while any sound tries to play through it, anyone help??
[06:21] <l1208> y is it when i type a command and i put my password in it tell me couldnt find package
[06:21] <ajhtiredwolf1> anewson there are nno resolutions in my xorg.conf or refresh rates
[06:21] <aaron__> hi, I'm trying to get wacom tablet working on my toshiba tecra M4, I've messed with fdi wacdump and others, it's on /dev/ttyS0 , /dev/input/wacom
[06:22] <anewson> ajhtiredwolf1: are you using hardy? think that's a hardy thing
[06:22] <ajhtiredwolf1> anewson yes I am
[06:22] <Spudz> Is this the right chan for a wireless networking question?
[06:22] <aflack> ﻿ the audio coming from my speakers is staticy and echos while any sound tries to play through it, anyone help? please help... =[
[06:22] <anewson> ajhtiredwolf1: can't help you any further.. sorry =/
[06:23] <ajhtiredwolf1> anewson s'ok
[06:23] <jim_p> !apt
[06:23] <raytruz> if i have a script running on cron, how can i redirect it to a certain ssh session?
[06:23] <raytruz> redirect the output that is
[06:23] <predator363> ok i moved xorg.conf but i am still having the same problem as i was before. ubuntu boots up and displays a screen saying im running in low graphics mode and then pulls up and option box and wont let me past it
[06:23] <aflack> ﻿ the audio coming from my speakers is staticy and echos while any sound tries to play through it, anyone help???
[06:23] <anewson> Spudz: i don't think there are any gurus on
[06:23] <aaron__> predator363: that happened to me before after I botched the xorg.conf config.
[06:23] <jim_p> what is that command that apt uses to grab packages from deb-src repos?
[06:23] <Spudz> anewson: prolly too early in the morning for em ;p
[06:24] <anewson> seems like it's nubs helping nubs at this point
[06:24] <predator363> aaron: what did you do to fix it?
[06:24] <aflack> nubs lmao?
[06:24] <aflack> not to be mean but are you like 12?
[06:24] <aaron__> predator363: so, what you need to do (or what worked for me) is run the instructions in the xorg.conf file that say how to reconfigure it automatically...
[06:24] <Spudz> anewson: owell it is a good way to learn
[06:24] <anewson> aflack: 11, actually
[06:24] <l1208> y is it when i type a command and i put my password in it tell me couldnt find package
[06:24] <aflack> wow no wonder
[06:24] <predator363> aaron: how do i do that?
[06:24] <aaron__> predator363: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
[06:25] <hiptobecubic> anyone tried using any dj software in linux?
[06:25] <SuperTim> np,yw
[06:25] <predator363> and what will that do?
[06:25] <anewson> aflack: tbh i'm amazed you can do more than spam
[06:25] <aaron__> predator363: if you want to be reminded of how to do it: cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf and the command is right up there ... This should work if you tweaked it yourself poorly.
[06:26] <aaron__> predator363: and it was working before...
[06:26] <aflack> anewson: i'm amazed you call that spamming, im asking a question and no one answers so i ask again. and im amazed people still use the word nub.
[06:26] <kunwon1> aaron_, he's on intrepid
[06:26] <predator363> i dident do any tweaking it did all this on a fresh install
[06:26] <MrDarkUser> whoami
[06:27] <aflack> ﻿ the audio coming from my speakers is staticy and echos while any sound tries to play through it, anyone help?
[06:27] <anewson> aflack: right, but there comes a point when even an 11 year old knows when to shut up and stop spamming his question, and maybe wait a while
[06:27] <MrDarkUser> kunwon1: I am too... Intrepid kubuntu makes me happy for the most part but my wacom tablet doesn't work.
[06:27] <anewson> no one knew 40 seconds ago, no one knows now, chill for a bit
[06:27] <kunwon1> aflack, when you ask the question often enough that it's on my screen three times, it's spamming :D
[06:28] <predator363> aaron: its a fresh install and it did this someone told me to remove xorg.conf and it would solve all my troubles but it dident change anything
[06:28] <kunwon1> MrDarkUser, fair enough :D
[06:28] <aflack> well then bye i guess ill never be able to listen to music on ubuntu
[06:28] <MrDarkUser> predator363: have you looked at your /var/log/ xorg stuff?
[06:28] <scort> /usr
[06:29] <predator363> mrdarkuser: you wouldent beleave how new i am to linux
[06:29] <Lion-O> Hi
[06:29] <predator363> mrdarkuser: i have no idea what you just said
[06:29] <anewson> anyway, on that note, anyone know anything about how /dev/ works and why my hard drive isn't showing up there, please check my q: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/48507
[06:30] <cmyk> anewson: you need udev running, the disk driver loaded too.
[06:30] <MrDarkUser> predator363: ... I can believe it.    in your file browser, go to /var/log and start looking at those files.
[06:30] <jim_p> what will this do        sudo apt-get source packagename             ?
[06:30] <Lion-O> you tell me ;)
[06:31] <cmyk> jim_p: download source?
[06:31] <Ayabara> are there any good p2p-clients for linux. I've used amule until now, but I hope there is something else out there :-)
[06:31] <cmyk> Ayabara: aria2c I like.
[06:31] <anewson> cmyk: ps aux tells me udev is running, and what driver would that be?
[06:31] <MrDarkUser> predator363: ibex isn't for the brandnew, btw what kind of computer / display and video card?
[06:31] <cmyk> anewson: lsmod | grep ata
[06:31] <anewson> it's an IDE drive, but now they're all considered scsi right?
[06:31] <predator363> mrdarkuser: im in vista right now so i will need step by step instructions on how to possibly fix this so i can write them down lol
[06:31] <cmyk> anewson: there should be one for your HW. For example, ata_piix for Intel PIIX chipsets.
[06:31] <jim_p> cmyk: thats what i want. it wont make / make install anything, right ?
[06:31] <cmyk> jim_p: right
[06:31] <MrDarkUser> predator363: get vmware and poke with it in there
[06:32] <cmyk> jim_p: it grabs the dsc, .tar.gz and patches IIRC
[06:32] <SuperTM> np,yw
[06:32] <anewson> cmyk: hmm... there are a bunch loaded, not sure if the one i need is there. can i figure out which i need from lshw?
[06:32] <MrDarkUser> predator363: you can also get cygwin from cygwin.com and play with linux type stuff
[06:32] <jim_p> cmyk: AND patches. omg! this is it!
[06:32] <histo> Alright wierd problem with tab completion. I can use tab completion on the first command ex: sud<tab> would type in sudo but I can't do sudo apti<tab> it won't complete.  or screen irss<tab> etc.... ?????
[06:32] <predator363> mrdarkuser: nvidia 8200m and laptop screen. also i tryed vmware and everything worked amazingly and i loved it but not in actual install
[06:32] <cmyk> anewson: lshw I dunno, but from lspci it's usually clear
[06:32] <Ayabara> cmeme, which networks does that one connect to? I see it says http/ftp/bittorrent.
[06:33] <blak> Has anyone had success with ekiga 3.0 working on ubuntu?
[06:33] <SuperTM> I can't seem to be able to get the Ubuntu disk to load and bring up normal install.  I however, can install from within windows with Wubi, and use "Start installer with ACPI workarounds".  I do not see such an option for the normal installing of Ubuntu, would I need the alternative CD to do such?
[06:33] <SuperTM> Without having to install within windows (Wubi) ?
[06:33] <jim_p> cmyk: i owe you big time
[06:33] <neil_d> I am using the command "fax2ps ... | lpr " to print faxes :-) but lpr is cutting of the the very bottom of the fax :-(  I have confirmed that the fax2ps is doing the right thing.   what can I do to fix this ?
[06:33] <anewson> cmyk: it will show up in lspci? even though it's an ide drive? i don't see it in lspci
[06:33] <jim_p> SuperTM: what mobo are you on?
[06:34] <SuperTM> jim_p: whatever comes with Dell Inspiron 530
[06:34] <blak> I only have 2.0 available as latest in synaptics package manager, not 3.0 for ekiga... so i was wondering if 3.0 will work.. or how you could tell synaptics package manager to look for it and install it?
[06:34] <MrDarkUser> predator363: ... I can't help you with the exact syntax because I don't know gnome
[06:34] <jim_p> SuperTM: linux kernel has ahci mode drivers ready inside
[06:34] <predator363> ...crud
[06:34] <jim_p> SuperTM: can you do an lspci now?
[06:34] <MrDarkUser> predator363: have you found a good tutorial site?
[06:34] <predator363> no...
[06:34] <SuperTM> jim_p: I have no idea what you are talking about.  I am still within windows
[06:35] <Decepticon> how do i check what hard drives are connected to my machine and how do i mount a newly inserted hdd to a /place/on/filesystem ?
[06:35] <predator363> over the last week iv learned alot tho like 5 days ago thee was no way i could even get ubuntu installed
[06:35] <jim_p> blak: are you sure ekiga 3 is out? you may have to wait for 8.10 that has gnome 2.24
[06:35] <anewson> cmyk: here's my lsmod|grep ata: http://pastebin.com/d16786a19
[06:35] <SuperTM> jim_p: I want to be able to install Ubuntu normally, and get rid of windows.  However that's the only possible way I have seen to get inside of the Ubuntu disk or installer.
[06:35] <jim_p> SuperTM: cant you boot from the bootable disk?
[06:35] <SuperTM> jim_p: Is though Wubi , and the "Start installer with ACPI workarounds"
[06:35] <cmyk> mm
[06:35] <SuperTM> jim_p: no
[06:36] <blak> jim_p: there is an ekiga 3.0 but synaptics package manager for ubuntu 8.04 hardy heron does not show there is a latest version of 3.0
[06:36] <jim_p> super_absorbant: why?
[06:36] <cmyk> anewson: pata_amd
[06:36] <SuperTM> jim_p: I do not see the same option on the bootable disk to "start with ACPI work arounds"
[06:36] <SuperTM> jim_p: As with Wubi
[06:36] <cmyk> anewson: there should be something like "IDE controller: AMD ..." in lspci output
[06:36] <Spudz> anewson: I'm n00b, but if it helps:  When Linux detects plugged-in-h/w, it looks thru /etc/udev/rules.d
[06:36] <Dekkzter> I need help with grub/lilo.. when i boot my computer ut only says GRUB on the entire screen.... anyone able to help me please?
[06:36] <Decepticon> how do i check what hard drives are connected to my machine and how do i mount a newly inserted hdd to a /place/on/filesystem ?
[06:37] <anewson> cmyk: no, but there's an IDE nvidia ATA controller
[06:37] <SuperTM> jim_p: just for the record this happens with all versions of Ubuntu
[06:37] <cmyk> anewson: ah ok
[06:37] <jim_p> SuperTM: noacpi i think. (i messed up acpi and ahci !!!)
[06:37] <Spudz> anewson: so if someone said u havea udev prob, they mean that there is no code in that folder that mounts the hdd when it's detected
[06:37] <cmyk> anewson: sata_nv is likely taking care of that already (some sata modules implicitly do pata too, it's not always obvious)
[06:37] <predator363> ahh screw it im gonna just forget ubuntu and go back to vista im so tired of things not working......vista actualy runs great for me so ...
[06:37] <cmyk> ata_piix for example does both sata/pata
[06:37] <jim_p> SuperTM: you put it in the line of custom boot options
[06:37] <Dekkzter> I need help with grub/lilo.. when i boot my computer ut only says GRUB on the entire screen.... anyone able to help me please?
[06:37] <SuperTM> jim_p: OK, so I need to select the "other options" and add noacpi ?
[06:38] <aflack> predator
[06:38] <fortes> i have a problem on screen resolution, can someone help me?
[06:38] <cmyk> anewson: there once was a tool called udevmonitor, but it's kinda gone in the newest releases. maybe you have it?
[06:38] <SuperTM> jim_p: to the little line
[06:38] <kunwon1> predator363, try hardy, it's a stable release, unlike the current version of intrepid
[06:38] <anewson> cmyk: no, unfortunately
[06:38] <blak> jim_p: you have any idea on that last thing i said?
[06:38] <jim_p> SuperTM: yes. i dont have a live cd handy yo put in vbox
[06:38] <predator363> hardy will not even install it is not in anyway compatable with my video or wireless card
[06:38] <anewson> cmyk: think i should try and find and get it?
[06:38] <SuperTM> jim_p: do I need to do it like -noapi, or any special things?
[06:38] <jim_p> blak: if ekiga3 is part of gnome 2.24, you have to wait for 8.10
[06:39] <Dekkzter> ja bryr mig inte om de är lilo eller grub... bara ja kan välja windows eller ubuntu så e ja nöjd
[06:39] <Dekkzter> I need help with grub/lilo.. when i boot my computer ut only says GRUB on the entire screen.... anyone able to help me please?
[06:39] <blak> jim_p: oh ok, thanks
[06:39] <predator363> i got hardy running after a while but could not make it detect wireless networks or run the proper display drivers
[06:39] <jim_p> SuperTM: no. and no dashes. in case this does not work, try acpi=off
[06:39] <Spudz> Dekkzter: look at /boot/grub/menu.lst (thats an ell not a one)
[06:40] <SuperTM> jim_p: I suppose I shall reboot and try?
[06:40] <cmyk> anewson: does sda show up after running udevtrigger?
[06:40] <predator363> i guss atleast it booted at all is a good start
[06:40] <jim_p> SuperTM: yes
[06:40] <predator363> i'll just go back to windows and try intrepid when its a full release
[06:40] <Dekkzter> Spudz: well.. i cant boot in to mu ubuntu installation... i am on the live cd now
[06:40] <anewson> cmyk: can't find udev moniter
[06:40] <predator363> now to go fix my mbr and destroy my linux partition
[06:40] <Spudz> anewson: My guess would be: First try to mount the hdd manually.  then when u have that sussed, fiddle with udev
[06:41] <anewson> manually?
[06:41] <cmyk> predator363: vista beta2 was not ready either :)
[06:41] <anewson> how can i mount it without a /dev/ entry?
[06:41] <Sa[i]nT> predator363: I would'nt lose hope in the failure of Intrepid -beta-.
[06:41] <cmyk> anewson: create the dev entry manually... for the time being
[06:41] <cmyk> cmyk: will only last until reboot though
[06:41] <predator363> im not losing hope im just hoping the final release will work
[06:41] <anewson> ah yea but don't i need the UUID for that?
[06:41] <cmyk> predator363: other distros also work - right now :)
[06:41] <histo> Figured it out no .bashrc file
[06:41] <cmyk> anewson: no?
[06:41] <predator363> ill get it in about a month when its been out a while and all the kinks are worked out
[06:42] <anewson> cmyk: lol k, how?
[06:42] <cmyk> anewson: the uuid is something that's, ahem, stored on sda2. You can't get there without sda2 :p
[06:42] <Spudz> predator363: Suggest u dualboot linux n vista
[06:42] <cmyk> mknod /dev/sdb2 b 8 $[16+2]
[06:42] <cmyk> I think...
[06:42] <predator363> i cant get any other distros to work on my pc tho hardy is the only one that worked and i could never get my vid or wifi fully operational
[06:42] <anewson> yea that's what i thought.. nevermind i was confusing making symlinks with what you're talking about
[06:43] <anewson> thanks, i'll check out the man page
[06:43] <predator363> and i am duel booting vista and ubuntu
[06:43] <cmyk> b 8 18
[06:43] <cmyk> well 16+2 is 18 :d

[06:46] <anewson> oh no? so what is it =/
[06:47] <anewson> cmyk: reload the partition table? in cfdisk?
[06:47] <jim_p> wartalker: let me think of a network manager alternative
[06:47] <cmyk> well usually my fdisk (not cfdisk) automatically does it... but you can also trigger it on the shell
[06:47] <anewson> cmyk: nah i know they're there
[06:47] <cmyk> well the kernel thinks otherwise
[06:47] <anewson> cmyk: i could mount them fine using 7.10
[06:47] <jim_p> wartalker: do you see the wireless network when you double click the networks icon on the tray?
[06:48] <enzotib> omfgitsashark, are you using a 64bit distro?
[06:48] <cmyk> anewson: is any of sda or sdb mounted right now?
[06:48] <tengulre> anybody here from china?
[06:48] <wartalker> ﻿jim_p: my problem is that, it has not the wireless network
[06:48] <anewson> cmyk: yeah, i mounted sdb1
[06:48] <anewson> cmyk: it's NTFS, it mounts fine... just none of the sda partitions show up
[06:48] <anewson> but they do in lshw
[06:48] <omfgitsashark> i just went back and looked i accidently downloaded the amd64 instead of the i386
[06:49] <omfgitsashark> next time i need to red the link a little better
[06:49] <cmyk> anewson: blockdev --rereadpt /dev/sda
[06:49] <cmyk> try that
[06:49] <wartalker> ﻿jim_p: only have wired network, iwlist wlan0 scanning can find the wireless AP
[06:49] <twfxfnxfnf> what's the command that changes the "last modified" data of a file to a specified date
[06:49] <omfgitsashark> hha
[06:49] <omfgitsashark> talk about a waste of a c
[06:49] <omfgitsashark> cd
[06:49] <enzotib> twfxfnxfnf, touch
[06:49]  * twfxfnxfnf thought it was "finger" for a minute :(
[06:49] <anewson> woa hang on... all the sda1-4 just showed up in dev... let me see if they mount
[06:50] <jim_p_busy> what happened?
[06:50] <cmyk> jim_p_busy: someone set you up the bomb
[06:50] <anewson> cmyk: weird... they all show up, but they don't mount - "not a block device"
[06:50] <jim_p> cmyk: lol. shall i call the isp now?
[06:51] <cmyk> jim_p: hehe
[06:51] <cmyk> anewson: odd!
[06:51] <jim_p> does anybody know a nice gui for configuring wireless?
[06:51] <anewson> cmyk: i think the blockdev worked
[06:51] <jim_p> wartalker: do you see the wireless network when you double click the networks icon on the tray?
[06:51] <neil_d> I have a pdf, can I get lpr to scale the pdf to fit on the page ?
[06:51] <anewson> cmyk: you're a mad genius, it worked
[06:52] <iNutshell> jim_p: what about wicd ?
[06:52] <jim_p> iNutshell: let me look it up
[06:52] <wartalker> ﻿jim_p:only have the wired network, and i am sure my wireless is OK.
[06:52] <jim_p> iNutshell: perfect. does it need network manager too?
[06:53] <cmyk> anewson: had you perhaps partitioned it just before?
[06:53] <cHiOs> can anyone explain how is it possible that X messes up my netconnection?
[06:53] <iNutshell> jim_p: i don't know :P
[06:53] <anewson> cmyk: no, it hasn't been partitioned in a while
[06:53] <anewson> cmyk: so how/why would this be stopping me from booting?
[06:54] <wartalker> ﻿im_p:my log:
[06:54] <wartalker> NetworkManager: <info>  Updating allowed wireless network lists.
[06:54] <wartalker> NetworkManager: <WARN>  nm_dbus_get_networks_cb(): error received: org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerInfo.NoNetworks - There are no wireless networks stored..
[06:54] <wartalker> NetworkManager: <info>  User request to disable wireless.
[06:54] <FloodBot2> wartalker: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[06:54] <cmyk> anewson: did it?
[06:54] <anewson> cmyk: yes, i can't boot into hardy
[06:54] <wartalker> ﻿FloodBot2:i am sorry
[06:54] <anewson> cmyk: and i think it's the same problem.... it doesn't read my hard drive correctly
[06:54] <cmyk> anewson: well where does it fail
[06:54] <jim_p> wartalker: did you disable network manager altogether? have a look here for wicd http://wicd.sourceforge.net/download.php
[06:55] <anewson> cmyk: says some stuff about scsi drives.... i'm looking through the logs on the partition i just mounted
[06:55] <cmyk> anewson: if it does not boot, what are you on right now?
[06:55] <anewson> cmyk: hardy livecd
[06:55] <jim_p> iNutshell: dude that app seems awesome!
[06:55] <cmyk> wut, and hardy livecd works neither? lol :p
[06:55] <wartalker> ﻿jim_p: thanks, i have tried it, it works. i only want to repair the network manager.
[06:56] <anewson> nah livecd works fine
[06:56] <[ipc]-michael> anyone messing with goog widgets?
[06:56] <anewson> it just doesn't read /dev/sda on the first go... i think that's the same problem that's stopping me from booting
[06:56] <jim_p> wartalker: network manager is a piece of crap software. seriously, remove it and dont rely on it
[06:57] <wartalker> ﻿jim_p: thanks, OK.
[06:57] <jim_p> wartalker: a friend of mine connected ONCE to another wireless network, other than his home one, and ever since network manager was trying to connect there!! he removed network manager 2 days later
[06:58] <wartalker> ﻿jim_p: i am installing the wicd now.
[06:59] <jim_p> wartalker: ok
[06:59] <wartalker> ﻿jim_p: thanks.
[07:00] <anewson> cmyk: strange... nothing is logged to the log files since i installed hardy, nothing from my attempts to boot
[07:00] <anewson> cmyk: actually i guess that makes sense, because it can't mount the hd
[07:02] <Spudz> jim_p, wartalker: I need to create a wireless network to distribute internet to other pcs in the house... Any chance you guys could help me get started?
[07:02] <tonyyarusso> jim_p: Your friend realizes that he could just remove the other network from his list, right?
[07:02] <Spudz> (or anyone else...)
[07:03] <jim_p> tonyyarusso: the network was not on the list :p
[07:03] <tyberion_> hm, guys, whats easiest way to install Java Virtual Machine to ubuntu?
[07:03] <anewson> sorry spudz, no wireless networking know-how
[07:03] <tyberion_> e.g. what package?
[07:03] <ziroday> !java > anewson
[07:03] <anewson> not me ziroday
[07:03] <tyberion_> meeeeee
[07:03] <tyberion_> !java > tyler_d
[07:03] <tyberion_> arg
[07:03] <wartalker> ﻿Spudz: sorry, i am new to wireless.
[07:03] <anewson> lol
[07:03] <tyberion_> !java > tyberion_
[07:03] <ziroday> anewson: oh woops, sorry
[07:03] <anewson> lol np
[07:04] <deftone> I have a dual boot system with vista and fedora 9...wanna blow away fedora and install kubuntu. what's the safest way to do that?
[07:04] <jim_p> Spudz: do the other pcs use static ips?
[07:05] <anewson> deftone: pop in the kubuntu CD
[07:05] <deftone> anewson: that's all?
[07:05] <T-Hawk> is there a max limit for the GID when creating a group? have a vista box connected over NFS, and it seems to access with the user and group no: 4294967294
[07:05] <ziroday> deftone: run the kubuntu livecd and just overwrite the partitions where you have fedora installed. Also kubuntu questions should be in #kubuntu :)
[07:05] <cmyk> ubottu:no way
[07:05] <alexanderc> hey could someone open gconf and tell me what the type is for /apps/compiz/general/allscreens/options/active_plugins ?
[07:05] <anewson> deftone: yea you just want to format fedora right? just go through the regular install of kubuntu, you'll be given a chance to format your fedora partition
[07:06] <alexanderc> I am kind of terminal jockeying this here and I don't want to fuck it up - I just need to disable a compiz plugin from the terminal
[07:06] <alexanderc> oh sorry about the language
[07:06] <ziroday> alexanderc: the type is list
[07:06] <alexanderc> thanks
[07:07] <Spudz> jim_p: They are macbooks.  So I guess they can be configured to use static ips or dhcp...(?)
[07:07] <ziroday> alexanderc: you can also ask in #compiz-fusion for more compiz help
[07:07] <jim_p> Spudz: yes. so you need to make the pc act as a wireless router?
[07:07] <dekushrub> i tried to plug in an external hard drive and i was told it could not be mounted because it needed to be safely removed in windows, anyone know anything about this
[07:08] <ziroday> dekushrub: yes you need to mount if with the -o force option, it should tell you about that in the error message
[07:08] <Spudz> jim_p: Yes!  How do I start?
[07:08] <tyberion_> hum ziroday Ive got teh sun-java6-jre installed still If I try to insatll a certain application it tells  me I need to install the JAVA VIRTUAL MACHINE... hm..
[07:08] <dekushrub> ziroday, how do i do that?
[07:09] <ziroday> dekushrub: if you read the error message it will give you the command you need, unfortunatly I can't remember it
[07:09] <Decepticon> theres no way for my pc to live a normal ubuntu life if i use a unsupported card like nvidia geforce 5200 or 5500?
[07:09] <jim_p> Spudz: look at this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Adhoc
[07:09] <ziroday> tyberion_: what application?
[07:10] <ziroday> Decepticon: what do you mean by "normal life"?
[07:10] <tyberion_> ziroday: some tool I need for college, www.verifun.org :<
[07:11] <alexanderc> phew so glad that worked
[07:11] <tyberion_> java -server -version also gives me that java se runtime environment 1.6.0_07 is installeed
[07:11] <alexanderc> man never turn on the reflect plugin with the reflect windows option
[07:11] <ziroday> tyberion_: ah, I recommend you send an email to the developers reporting your issue
[07:14] <hookman> 大家好
[07:14] <tyberion_> ziroday:  ok :(
[07:14] <Decepticon> ziroday, will the desktop that i eventually put on the pc with such a videocard, will it be different from that of a pc with a videocard thats supported straight out of the box
[07:14] <iNutshell> hookman: english here
[07:14] <ziroday> !zh | hookman
[07:14] <hookman> 怎样把xchat搞成窗口模式？
[07:14] <hookman> 我把整个屏幕沾满了
[07:14] <hookman> 阿
[07:14] <hookman> sorry
[07:14] <Decepticon> wo shi zhongguo ren
[07:15] <anewson> cmyk: still around? any idea how i can get hardy to see my sda when i boot?
[07:15] <Indoctrine> !ch | hookman
[07:15] <Indoctrine> Bah
[07:15] <Indoctrine> Stupid bot
[07:15] <anewson> lol
[07:15] <iNutshell> Decepticon: me too
[07:15] <Decepticon> iNutshell not really, thats all the chinese i remember how to say
[07:15] <Decepticon> kinda heard to learn that language.
[07:16] <ziroday> Decepticon: you will need to download restricted drivers, a wizard will guide you through that procedure. There are opensource nvidia drivers which also support those cards
[07:16] <ziroday> !nvidia | Decepticon this is the procedure to install the drivers
[07:16] <iNutshell> Decepticon: :)
[07:16] <anewson> cmyk: it's something to do with the partition table right? hardy got installed on an old partition table? how do i 'refresh' it?
[07:18] <Decepticon> ziroday well okay, so ill have to do this via ssh, but once i do install the correct drivers, will the desktop that appears, will it be much different from a desktop that wouldve resulted from a install with a supported video card
[07:18] <Decepticon> and out of the box
[07:19] <Decepticon> is there any first time hardware recognizing or configuring done on the first appearance of the desktop? by gnome or otherwise?
[07:19] <hansoffate> hi, i got a problem with apache2.  I'm getting a 403 Forbidden error when trying to access a newly made cgi-bin folder (just trying out some perl cgi).    Anyone got any ideas?
[07:19] <hansoffate> btw, i made a forum thread here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=953206
[07:20] <william56> hey, i've got an "ATI Technologies Inc SBx00 Azalia" sound card, and it worked immediately after a fresh install, but the sound is barely above a whisper with my media player and system's volume controls maxed out
[07:20] <ziroday> Decepticon: it would be the same. and yes there is a little balloon pops up informing you that you need to install drivers
[07:20] <kingsofleon> long time since i used apache but edit httpd.conf
[07:20] <kingsofleon> and setup permissions in there
[07:20] <mc_art> www.google
[07:20] <Decepticon> ziroday, and that wouldve happen with either my situation or a straight out of the box supported videocard
[07:20] <william56> anyone know anything that might help me?
[07:20] <kingsofleon> ati isn't that good with ubuntu man
[07:21] <ziroday> Decepticon: the popup only appears if there is restricted drivers needed
[07:21] <deathdotcom> hey can anybody tell me how to get the view where i can see the cube not just rotate it
[07:21] <mc_art> www.google
[07:21] <ziroday> mc_art: please stop.
[07:21] <hansoffate> kingsofleon: thanks for the help.  i'll check it out.
[07:21] <MHz128> Can anyone recommend any fun multiplayer games that anren't very graphics intensive?
[07:22] <Indoctrine> MHz128: FPS?
[07:22] <mc_art> www.dot frenster
[07:22] <Decepticon> ziroday, how do i see the desktop so that this popup can come up and inform me to install drivers seeing that i have a unsupported video card
[07:22] <MHz128> Indoctrine, anything, as long as it will play with onboard video
[07:22] <Decepticon> do i switch to vesa in some xorg.config
[07:22] <ziroday> MHz128: strategy game, or shooting game?
[07:22] <MHz128> ziroday, either! i only have a Celeron 2ghz 512mb ram
[07:23] <Indoctrine> MHz128: I play UrbanTerror occasionally on onboard graphics (laptop)
[07:23] <ziroday> Decepticon: no, you can take a look at the wizard, its in System > Administrator > Hardware Drivers
[07:23] <Decepticon> i dont have a gui ziroday
[07:23] <kingsofleon> does anyone here use virtualbox?
[07:23] <Decepticon> im trying to get a gui
[07:23] <MHz128> Indoctrine, cool, is there a buntu package for UrbanTerror?
[07:23] <ziroday> Decepticon: so you are trying to get a gui, and your card is?
[07:23] <Irreducibilis_> MHz128: Quake III Arena
[07:23] <kingsofleon> you can play quake 3 arena on linux??
[07:24] <Irreducibilis_> I am pretty sure it runs in wine
[07:24] <Indoctrine> MHz128: No, their site gives info on adding the program to your repos though
[07:24] <rogan> mc_art: stop with the links
[07:24] <rli> register rli
[07:24] <MHz128> Indoctrine, cool ill check it out
[07:25] <Decepticon> ziroday yes im tryin to get a gui, my videocard is geforce fx 5200 via svideo
[07:25] <Indoctrine> !games | MHz128
[07:25] <Decepticon> im looking at the console via my tv via svideo out on the fx 5200
[07:25] <Decepticon> ziroday ^^
[07:25] <ziroday> Decepticon: did you follow the instructions I have you?
[07:26] <ziroday> !nvidia | Decepticon
[07:26] <deathdotcom_> does anyone know how to get the cube out away from the screen so you can see the skydome mine just rotates up close and its kinda annoying
[07:26] <Decepticon> ziroday, that guide assumes i have a gui
[07:26] <Decepticon> "The easiest way to install binary drivers is to use the built in Hardware Drivers manager in Ubuntu. In Hardy and newer, this is found under System->Administration->Hardware Drivers. In older supported versions (Feisty and Gutsy) it is called Restricted Driver Manager and is found at System->Administration->Restricted Driver Manager. "
[07:27] <Decepticon> i dont have no gui to go to the Hardware Drivers manger
[07:27] <ziroday> deathdotcom_: you can edit the zoom setting in the cube settings area
[07:27] <kingsofleon> deception.... are you at a command prompt trying to configure xorg to recognize your fx5200 card?
[07:27] <deathdotcom_> where is the cube settings area
[07:27] <deathdotcom_> ?
[07:27] <rli> where i can get some help on mutt in emacs?
[07:28] <ziroday> !ccsm | deathdotcom_
[07:28] <Azhi_Dahaka> hmm... I want this process to be killed in 4 hours, is there a way to do from the cli?
[07:28] <kingsofleon> deception.... have you tried 'dpkg -reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg'?
[07:29] <jim_p> Azhi_Dahaka: at 11.30 killall firefox
[07:29] <bastid_raZor> Decepticon; http://pastebin.com/ff745021    .. i have the same card and i use svideo .. check my xorg out. it should help
[07:29] <Decepticon> kingsofleon ill try it
[07:29] <Decepticon> bastid_raZor, do you use your tv as a monitor?
[07:29] <jim_p> Azhi_Dahaka: i am not sure about the 100% correct of the syntax
[07:29] <tyberion_> Please define INSTALL4J_JAVA_HOME to point to a suitable JVM.
[07:29] <tyberion_> You can also try to delete the JVM cache file /home/syntax/.install4j
[07:29] <bastid_raZor> Decepticon; yes
[07:29] <Decepticon> i have no internal graphics so all i have is this fx 5200 and a tv
[07:29] <Decepticon> bastid_raZor cool thanks, ill try it out
[07:29] <tyberion_> hm how do  I do this..? to find out where my JVM is located?
[07:33] <Azhi_Dahaka> are you sure, jim_p?
[07:33] <Azhi_Dahaka> the man page doesn't seem to help a lot
[07:33] <hateball> Hmm, is the PPA for Openoffice 3 supposed to be working? Because for me it doesnt seem to be
[07:34] <Kartagis> hi
[07:34] <jim_p> Azhi_Dahaka: i am not sure about the syntax:(
[07:34] <Decepticon> kingsofleon typing 'dpkg -reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg' gives a error: dpkg: conflicting actions -e (--control) and -r (--removee)
[07:34] <Decepticon> kingsofleon is that the correct command?
[07:34] <coil> dpkg-reconfigure
[07:34] <Decepticon> dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
[07:34] <kingsofleon> ah sorry yeah no space :)
[07:34] <Decepticon> thats how?
[07:35] <Kartagis> has anyone tried wakeonlan lately and verified that it's actually working? because it's not working for me
[07:35] <goldie> i just download flash player 10 which is in a tar.gz how do i install it
[07:35] <traxx> Kartagis: works for me
[07:36] <Decepticon> how do i restart X
[07:36] <kuthux> Decepticon: ctrl+alt+backspace
[07:36] <Azhi_Dahaka> Ctrl+Alt+BackSpace, I think
[07:36] <histo> Decepticon: that or sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[07:36] <Kartagis> !configure | goldie
[07:36] <Decepticon> i dont have the gui working p\roperly
[07:36] <Decepticon> so i need to restart it via console
[07:36] <Decepticon> thanks histo
[07:37] <kuthux> Decepticon: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[07:37] <Kartagis> goldie, ./configure make make install
[07:37] <kuthux> Decepticon: that was restarting gnome desktop manager
[07:37] <histo> goldie: extract it and read the instructions
[07:37] <histo> goldie: basically you can put the .so file in your firefox plugins directory.
[07:38] <kuthux> Decepticon: sudo invoke-rc.d gdm restart
[07:38] <kuthux> :D
[07:38] <Kartagis> traxx, I first thought it could be because of network and isolated it, tried it and it didn't work
[07:39] <bullgard4> What does the abbreviation 'ABI' stand for in the name of the directory /usr7share/doc/linux-doc-2.6.24/Documentation/ABI/  and /boot/abi-2.6.24-16-generic?
[07:39] <traxx> Kartagis: how are you using it?
[07:39] <Azhi_Dahaka> i'm too stupid for that command
[07:39] <Azhi_Dahaka> any other alternatives to kill a task on a given time?
[07:40] <Kartagis> traxx, wakeonlan -i ip macaddress
[07:40] <traxx> Kartagis: ``ip'' meaning what?
[07:40] <histo> Azhi_Dahaka: sleep  then a kill would work.  What are you trying to do exactly
[07:40] <traxx> Kartagis: -i should have the broadcast as argument
[07:40] <Kartagis> traxx, IP address of the PC
[07:40] <Azhi_Dahaka> kill a task at 3AM
[07:41] <histo> Azhi_Dahaka: you should use cron then
[07:41] <histo> !cron
[07:41] <Azhi_Dahaka> only once
[07:41] <traxx> Kartagis: try '-i <broadcast>' instead
[07:41] <histo> Azhi_Dahaka: yeap cron can do that.
[07:41] <kuthux> Azhi_Dahaka: use at or cron
[07:41] <kingsofleon> yeah use cfon
[07:41] <histo> Azhi_Dahaka: check out the message from ubottu
[07:41] <kingsofleon> cron
[07:42] <scuser> hi all, how can I disable simple bind in openldap ?
[07:42] <Kartagis> traxx, man wakeonlan says Destination IP address. Unless you have static ARP tables you should use some kind of broadcast address I have it fixed
[07:42] <Azhi_Dahaka> i want something that only uses the cli... tried the man page of at but i didn't get it
[07:42] <goldie> ok thanks guys got flash to work
[07:42] <Azhi_Dahaka> and google... well,try googling at :D
[07:42] <Azhi_Dahaka> kinda hard, actually
[07:42] <Decepticon> bastid_raZor how did you install the nvidia driver and get aeveryhing to work?
[07:42] <kuthux> Azhi_Dahaka: crontab -e
[07:42] <traxx> Kartagis: i always use the broadcast address and it works with that
[07:43] <histo> Azhi_Dahaka: just read the howto from ubottu its pretty simple.
[07:43] <kingsofleon> deception >  i take it that didn't work then
[07:43] <kingsofleon> ?
[07:43] <Azhi_Dahaka> !at
[07:43] <histo> !cron > Azhi_Dahaka
[07:43] <umarzuki> is there such thing as inttab in ubuntu because i couldn't find any
[07:43] <umarzuki> or something that does the same as inittab?
[07:44] <william56> anyone know a method of increasing volume in ubuntu, aside from the system's volume window, and the volume control on whatever's making the sound?
[07:44] <Decepticon> kingsofleon nope
[07:44] <Kartagis> traxx, let me try that
[07:44] <traxx> william56: alsamixer
[07:44] <william56> already got that maxed out
[07:44] <histo> umarzuki: rc.d
[07:44] <Decepticon> kingsofleon i did that command, it said something about autoconfig, and then i restarted gdm and im still seeing a black screen so i stopped gdm
[07:44] <kingsofleon> what did you do beforehand in terms of installing drivers?
[07:45] <Decepticon> kingsofleon i did that command about dpkg-reconfigure, it said something about autoconfig, and then i restarted gdm and im still seeing a black screen so i stopped gdm
[07:45] <Decepticon> i have done nothing
[07:45] <Decepticon> ive just installed ubuntu
[07:45] <kingsofleon> you need to install nvidea drivers first then do that command
[07:45] <kingsofleon> 1) choose which drivers to install
[07:45] <kingsofleon> 2) install the drivers
[07:45] <kingsofleon> 3) do the command I gave you
[07:45] <traxx> william56: does muting it in alsamixer have any effect at all?
[07:45] <histo> umarzuki: update-rc.d to be more specific. Check out the man pages for it.
[07:45] <kingsofleon> 4) reboot
[07:45] <william56> traxx: yes
[07:46] <kuthux> !pastebin
[07:47] <Kartagis> traxx, I tried with broadcast IP too
[07:50] <traxx> william56: i thought maybe your app might be using pulse instead
[07:50] <traxx> Kartagis: did that help?
[07:51] <Kartagis> traxx, no :( in my previous installation it used to work (gentoo),
[07:51] <Azhi_Dahaka> awesome, thanks
[07:51] <Sekyourbox> My firefox is fubar, the back and forward button doesnt work, and the navigation bar stays on the first page typed in...
[07:51] <traxx> Kartagis: so it's an ubuntu box that's not waking up or not doing the wake up?
[07:52] <Sekyourbox> uninstall and re-install firefox?
[07:52] <Kartagis> traxx, exactly. i will now install gentoo in a vmware environment and try again
[07:54] <Laurenceb> hi, how can I convert an eps to png?
[07:54] <Rav2> hey gyus, I have som eprocess called mount.ntfs taking up a like 10-20% processor power all the time, what is this?
[07:54] <Laurenceb> and control the size without interpolation
[07:55] <Rav2> ﻿Laurenceb: gimp?
[07:55] <Laurenceb> yeah anything command line?
[07:55] <Laurenceb> I want to do it from a script
[07:55] <karab44_> non important question is intrepid wallpaper a Mars surface ?
[07:55] <jim_p> Laurenceb: imagemacik
[07:55] <Laurenceb> I used convert
[07:55] <Laurenceb> yeah convert is from there
[07:55] <Laurenceb> but its interpolating
[07:56] <Laurenceb> eps is vector right?
[07:56] <Pitel_laptop> shuld be
[07:56] <Laurenceb> so I should be able to blow it up a bit without interpolating
[07:56] <Laurenceb> can I do it with convert  ?
[07:58] <Laurenceb> ok nvm
[07:58] <Laurenceb> another question, my keyboard has gone to us
[07:58] <Laurenceb> but its a UK one, how do I fix it?
[07:58] <Sekyourbox> hwo do I use the Synaptic package manager to uninstall?
[07:59] <bouma> whats the best way to collect device names before editing fstab ??
[07:59] <bouma> sudo fdisk -l ?
[07:59] <Indoctrine> bouma: If it's just hard drives, it probably is.
[08:00] <Frogzoo> bouma: for x in a b c d e ; do sudo fstab -l $x ; done
[08:00] <bouma> hey ive either found a bug in Xorg or im pwnd :P
[08:00] <Frogzoo> bouma: for x in a b c d e ; do sudo fstab -l /dev/$x ; done
[08:00] <kingsofleon> sek > select the check box next to teh software and selet uninstall
[08:00] <lifebug> hello all! how can i activate changes, made under the grub recovery mode, so that my default kernel will use it? i use hardy
[08:01] <bouma> Xorg is using 85% still .. my music is even skipping a little bit.. this is a E6750 something is not right
[08:01] <kingsofleon> lifebug you need to explain more!
[08:01] <Frogzoo> bouma: grrrr... finally: for x in a b c d e ; do sudo fstab -l /dev/sd$x ; done
[08:01] <jim_p> bouma: fdisk -l && ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid/
[08:01] <Frogzoo> bouma: for x in a b c d e ; do sudo fdisk -l /dev/sd$x ; done
[08:01] <Frogzoo> been a long day...
[08:03] <lifebug> kingsofleon. i set the wrong screen-resolution in the startup-manager, so my default kernel stayed black after booting.
[08:04] <nnull> i have an odd issue with a panel, when i select properties and try to change its orientation, once ive selected anything but bottom, it automatically changes itself back to bottom, this also happens if i try change it in gconf... why would this happen?
[08:05] <bouma> jim_p: should i be using UUID in fstab ?
[08:05] <bouma> jim_p: the last time i edited fstab it was hda .. not sda
[08:06] <jim_p> bouma: no. avoid it at all costs. however, do use it if you swap disks in and out a lot
[08:06] <hax> hi
[08:06] <Laurenceb> so, I go to keyboard options and select uk, but it makes no difference
[08:06] <Laurenceb> its still usa
[08:06] <bouma> jim_p: where does the name that i will see in gnome come from, ie the disk label ?
[08:06] <bouma> jim_p: or the dir
[08:06] <Laurenceb> any ideas?
[08:06] <jim_p> bouma: the "enumeration" of the drives from hdx to sdx changed some kernels ago
[08:07] <hax> guillaume_ has quit (Client Quit)
[08:07] <jim_p> bouma: the mountpoint? in fstab
[08:07] <bouma> jim_p: right. i just asked about the gnome name. in computer:///
[08:08] <jim_p> bouma: can i show you a pic of mine and you tell me what you mean ok?
[08:08] <bouma> jim_p: i mean the name you see when running nautilus. and navigative to computer:///
[08:08] <bouma> jim_p: navigating
[08:09] <jim_p> bouma: see mine http://i38.tinypic.com/2hn8jk6.png
[08:09] <lifebug> how can i activate options made under the recovery mode for my default grub boot-kernel?
[08:09] <jim_p> bouma: like where it says the /mnt/windows (58.6GB)?
[08:10] <bouma> jim_p: yeah
[08:10] <Laurenceb> can anyone help me with my keyboard issue?
[08:10] <Isilion> hi. i think someone is trying to get access to my computer. how can i know it for sure?
[08:10] <Laurenceb> I go to keyboard options and select uk, but it makes no difference
[08:10] <Laurenceb> its still usa layout
[08:10] <Laurenceb> any idea?
[08:10] <jim_p> bouma: this is the name of the mountpoints in fstab. i have named them myself
[08:10] <lifebug> wrong screen resolution let my default boot option stay black-screened ...
[08:11] <jim_p> Laurenceb: well, it still writes english right??
[08:11] <nnull> i have an odd issue with a panel, when i select properties and try to change its orientation, once ive selected anything but bottom, it automatically changes itself back to bottom, this also happens if i try change it in gconf... what would cause this happen?
[08:11] <bouma> jim_p: the last one just has a name no full path
[08:11] <Laurenceb> yes, but the key layout is wrong
[08:11] <Laurenceb> i.e. \ is #
[08:11] <cryingtux> hello
[08:11] <Laurenceb> and " is @
[08:11] <jim_p> bouma: the last one is the / filesystem
[08:11] <Laurenceb> ~ is |
[08:12] <jim_p> Laurenceb: well change your locales
[08:12] <Isilion> help plz
[08:12] <bouma> jim_p: fair enough. what should i use for type field in fstab.. ext3 ?? and ntfs.3g ?
[08:12] <Laurenceb> I tried that
[08:12] <Spudz> I am having a truly horrible experience creating a wireless network between an ubuntu box, a mac and an XP
[08:12] <Spudz> just thought I'd share that
[08:12] <cryingtux> i wanna know which ubuntu repo will get me casper and ubiquity. packages? i need them on my debian system
[08:12] <jim_p> Isilion: can you see activity at some port?
[08:12] <Laurenceb> keyboard preferences right?
[08:12] <Laurenceb> it doesnt seem to be working
[08:12] <Laurenceb> I set it to uk and it makes no difference
[08:12] <jim_p> bouma: for which partition?
[08:13] <Isilion> how do i check it JiBEsH
[08:13] <Isilion> how do i check it jim_p
[08:13] <bouma> jim_p: im adding about 4 entried to fstab a couple of ntfs parts, and some ext3 ones
[08:13] <Laurenceb> system-preferences-keyboard  ?
[08:14] <jim_p> Isilion: if you dont see activity at some port, but activiry on the network, it may be someone jist pinging your pc. it may even be the update manager scanning for updates
[08:14] <jim_p> bouma: can i pm you mine?
[08:14] <bouma> jim_p:  sure
[08:14] <jim_p> bouma: its /dev/sda only with ntfs and ext3
[08:15] <Nallep> I'm looking for a simple mail server, doesn't have to be a full fledged server, just something to send cronjob messages and such to another account, any suggestions?
[08:17] <Isilion> jim_p how do i check ports activity?
[08:17] <jim_p> !ports
[08:17] <histo> Isilion: netstat
[08:17] <histo> Isilion: try netstat -ta
[08:18] <nnull> i have an odd issue with a panel, when i select properties and try to change its orientation, once ive selected anything but bottom, it automatically changes itself back to bottom, this also happens if i try change it in gconf... what would cause this to happen?
[08:19] <jim_p> nnull: i had a same situation with the top panel some time ago. i think its a bug
[08:19] <jim_p> nnull: killall gnome-panel will do it
[08:20] <nnull> ahh k jim_p .. :x
[08:20] <nnull> will do what
[08:20] <nnull> give me no panels? :D
[08:20] <ubuntuPrime> Hiya ppls
[08:20] <ubuntuPrime> Just booting the Live CD here
[08:20] <ubuntuPrime> works nicely
[08:20] <ubuntuPrime> how do I add a server to xchat?
[08:22] <nnull> #xchat read the topic of that channel and it tells you everything to know about xchat
[08:22] <nnull> ubuntuPrime¬ ^
[08:22] <ubuntuPrime> kk
[08:23] <ubuntuPrime> thanks
[08:23] <ubuntuPrime> looking
[08:23] <ubuntuPrime> not seeing where to add a new server
[08:24] <histo> ubuntuPrime: I think he meant the faq link. www.xchat.com/faq
[08:26] <Kartagis> ubuntuPrime, CTRL+S
[08:28] <Spudz> I'm creating a wireless network.  I want a mac and a xpbox to use it.  I've clicked on the network icon -> Create New wireless network.  It crreates it.  both other puters can see it. but neither can get a webpage.  and both report (different) ip's of 169.254.x.x
[08:29] <Spudz> what's going on?  Do i need to run some sort of dhcp server on my ubuntubox?
[08:32] <brez_> hello, quick question: in the terminal it connects as brett@host, when I ssh to a shell it auto pops brett@shellhost, the username I want to connect with needs to be different
[08:32] <brez_> hope I made sense ;P
[08:34] <jim_p> brez_: you dont want to use your name on the other pc to login?
[08:34] <brez_> nope
[08:34] <brez_> eg: my shell username is brez
[08:34] <brez_> needs to be brez because there's another user with "brett@shellhost" so it wont accept my pw :P
[08:36] <jim_p> brez_: why dont you just ssh hostmane and let it propmt you for username and pass
[08:36] <brez_> that's what I'm doing :P
[08:36] <umarzuki> brez, perhaps that's the default user?
[08:37] <brez_> when I use putty on win it prompts me for username
[08:37] <umarzuki> try ssh brez@pc-IP
[08:37] <brez_> on ubuntu it doesnt
[08:38] <umarzuki> yeah because ssh needs you to supply the exact one
[08:38] <umarzuki> or else it'll log in as root user if i'm not mistaken
[08:38] <brez_> seems as though I need to 'edit' my account name for it to be able to work :)
[08:39] <brez_> any way not to get it to root
[08:40] <MTecknology> Between a USB cord of 1ft to 8ft - how much am I going to lose on transfer speed??
[08:44] <Jaffarkelshac> i am using reaplayer 10 to play rmvb files but its annoying me, i cant get sound whenever firefox is opened, i have to close firefox and then restart playing to get sound
[08:45] <karab44> Damn newest anjuta made me suprised!

[08:46] <DIFH-iceroot> !games
[08:46] <idefix> any webcam knowhow here?
[08:46] <idefix> my webcam image looks like this since I installed the latest version of Ubuntu: http://members.home.nl/v.vanbruchem/pictures/webcam-1224488659.png
[08:46] <DIFH-iceroot> idefix: just ask your question
[08:47] <jim_p> Jaffarkelshac: use mplayer if possible and dump realplayer. and use pulseaudio
[08:47] <idefix> DIFH-iceroot, what's wrong with my cam?
[08:47] <solid_liq> idefix: ouch
[08:47] <jim_p> idefix: how does it appear in lsusb?
[08:47] <idefix> solid_liq is my cam broken, it worked fine before my ubuntu upgrade
[08:47] <PeoplesAdvocate> i need help vsftpd
[08:47] <PeoplesAdvocate> i need help with vsftpd
[08:48] <solid_liq> idefix: looks like a v4l or driver issue, probably how the driver talks to v4l, or maybe the wrong driver
[08:48] <getyamindrit> ﻿/msg ubottu
[08:48] <getyamindrit> wow that worked great
[08:48] <idefix> jim_p http://pastebin.ca/1231630
[08:48] <jim_p> PeoplesAdvocate: say qour question
[08:49] <jim_p> idefix: let me investigate :P
[08:50] <PeoplesAdvocate> Jim_p: My question is, how can i set it up to where i can connect to it in sftp mode. And also how do i add users?
[08:50] <PeoplesAdvocate> im new to this
[08:50] <Jaffarkelshac> jim_p: that works, but it does not go to full screen, it remains at the same res
[08:51] <jim_p> Jaffarkelshac: do you use the right drivers for your card?     cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | grep Driver
[08:51] <getyamindrit> Anyone here have any experience getting the onboard sound to work in 8.04 on an asus p5q-em (realtek alc1200)
[08:51] <idefix> all people here are techies
[08:51] <jim_p> Jaffarkelshac: other than the drivers, you need the right video output
[08:51] <giusef> Hi all. Connecting with my Huawei E220 hsdpa modem it seems that the download speed is limited to 60 kB/s but under Windows the speed is 250 kB/s. Using a cell phone the speed is limited too. Does anyone know why?
[08:51] <jim_p> getyamindrit: does it appear in lspci?
[08:52] <Jaffarkelshac> am using nvidia jim_p
[08:52] <idefix> jim_p any luck on the lsusb?
[08:52] <jim_p> Jaffarkelshac: cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | grep Driver
[08:52] <jim_p> idefix: some sites only, no particular solution
[08:52] <getyamindrit> jim_p I'm not seeing it
[08:53] <idefix> jim_p, what do you mean 'some sites'?
[08:53] <jim_p> idefix: i googled for a solution since its not on the wiki
[08:53] <jim_p> getyamindrit: :O lspci | grep Audio
[08:53] <idefix> you just entered the pastebin in the query-field?
[08:53] <brez_> umarzuki: figure it out $ shh -l brez server.com
[08:54] <jim_p> idefix: no lol. i entered "046d:0840 Logitech, Inc. QuickCam Express"
[08:54] <jim_p> idefix: can you install cheese?
[08:54] <getyamindrit> 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801JI (ICH10 Family) HD Audio Controller That's a loopback type interface for the hdmi output which I have disabled
[08:54] <idefix> what is cheese?
[08:55] <halycon> I am trying to run a program called Shrinking Man Diet Tracker and I am getting the following error message: ImportError: No module named utils.iso8601
[08:55] <ubuntuPrime> Me likey this Ubuntu a lot
[08:55] <brez> sweet
[08:55] <julian> Hi, I recently upgraded to 8.10 64 bit.  I am having a problem with my syslog. It has grown so big that whenever I try to open it, it crashes my system.  I tried sudo cat /dev/null > /var/log/syslog but am having the same problem. It there a another way for me to delete the syslog.
[08:55] <jim_p> getyamindrit: THAT is audio on some intel P45 mobo which is not supported by the current ubuntu jernel
[08:55] <ubuntuPrime> works really nice right off the Live CD even
[08:55] <umarzuki> brez_: thanks for the info. Simply $ ssh brez@server-IP won't do?
[08:55] <jim_p> *kernel
[08:55] <idefix> jim_p cheese?
[08:55] <getyamindrit> yeah it's not on this board howeer
[08:56] <getyamindrit> it has alc1200 onboard I can look at the chip and see it :-/
[08:56] <mongolai> idefix:  cheese is a program for using the webcam
[08:56] <brez> no, it said unknown host ;)
[08:56] <jim_p> getyamindrit: for full support of the P45 chipset, you need at least kernel 2.6.25. ubuntu 8.04 is on 2.6.24
[08:56] <idefix> like Camorama Webcam viewer
[08:56] <idefix> monoglai ^
[08:56] <idefix> mongolai ^
[08:56] <jim_p> idefix: cheese is an app in synaptic
[08:56] <getyamindrit> ouch
[08:56] <mongolai> idefix:  don't know, never used Camorama
[08:56] <getyamindrit> I was under the impression this is the lastest version?
[08:57] <idefix> jim_p mongolai well, it's quite certain my cam doesn't work because of the new ubuntu instal
[08:57] <getyamindrit> I've never recompiled a kernel tbh it sounds scary
[08:57] <PeoplesAdvocate> Does anyone know how to connect to a vsftpd server through SFTP protocol
[08:57] <halycon> cheese never works for my webcam either
[08:57] <jim_p> getyamindrit: sorry mate :( you can use 8.10 beta or some other live cd distro on 2.6.25+ to verify it works
[08:57] <idefix> jim_p mongolai since it stopped giving a nice picture after it
[08:57] <halycon> it worked in other programs tho
[08:57] <PoopinClumpin> can anyone recommend an IR receiver for an ubuntu HTPC. I want to be able to turn the pc on/off with a universal remote
[08:57] <getyamindrit> meeeh
[08:57] <idefix> are you a sheep?
[08:57] <jim_p> getyamindrit: it is hard to compile a kernel. just sit there and wait for 8.10. it has 2.6.27
[08:58] <getyamindrit> it's weird my speakers beep very faintly when I backspace too much
[08:58] <idefix> jim_p mongolai it just looks like there is some signal processing error
[08:58] <jim_p> getyamindrit: i dont know why :P
[08:58] <getyamindrit> it's not the onboard speaker lol
[08:59] <PoopinClumpin> getyamindrit: i bet your bios beep is set to off but the soundcard is picking up line noise from the bus
[08:59] <getyamindrit> meh I'll install the beta ver then I guess
[08:59] <idefix> jim_p will installing cheese change the way the webcam signal is processed?
[08:59] <getyamindrit> thanks for your help jim_p
[08:59] <getyamindrit> PoopinClumpin:  that's probably the case
[08:59] <jim_p> idefix: probably yes
[09:00] <halycon> I am trying to run a program called Shrinking Man Diet Tracker and I am getting the following error message: ImportError: No module named utils.iso8601 does anyone know what I could do to fix it? I looked on the website of the program and there is no info on it
[09:00] <jim_p> getyamindrit: you are welcome
[09:00] <idefix> jim_p how quaint!
[09:01] <jim_p> !ftp
[09:01] <idefix> how are you so sure jim_p?
[09:01] <jim_p> idefix: for cheese? i am not. you dont miss something to try
[09:01] <idefix> you're not sure
[09:01] <getyamindrit> I'm not seeing the beta release available for download?
[09:01] <jim_p> getyamindrit: ask in ubuntu+1
[09:01] <idefix> it just seems weird, what in ubuntu is the acces port of hardware signal processing?
[09:02] <idefix> can you change things as IRQs and the whole rataplan in ubuntu?
[09:02] <idefix> jim_p I get a TV test image in cheese
[09:03] <julian> hi..anyone can help me delete my overgrown syslog.  when I try to open it, keeps crashing my system.
[09:03] <idefix> do I need to buy a new webcam?
[09:03] <jim_p> idefix: do you get image from the camera
[09:03] <idefix> well the weird image I sent you
[09:04] <jim_p> idefix: no. it may be some module missing but since the gentoo wiki that tells all in detail is out, i cant find the module
[09:04] <idefix> how long do we have to wait jim_p?
[09:05] <jim_p> idefix: dunno. it has been like so all weekend
[09:06] <jim_p> idefix: is there a quickam module loaded?
[09:06] <idefix> jim_p it just looks like some sawtooth signal is wrongly interpreted
[09:06] <jim_p> idefix: lsmod | grep quick
[09:06] <idefix> i have camorama and cheese now

[09:08] <idefix> jim_p still installing drivers outside synaptic hardly ever works on my PC, actually never
[09:08] <jim_p> idefix: so it is!
[09:08] <tushar> hi all
[09:09] <idefix> what is so it is?
[09:09] <idefix> the pastebin, what did you conclude?
[09:10] <jim_p> idefix: that the proper module IS loaded. but the camera scrambles output
[09:10] <tushar> am a bit confused as am a novice with this OS
[09:10] <idefix> are modules like processes running in your CPU which request interrupts?
[09:11] <tv7497> guys where do i find java installed in my file system i meant in which directory ?
[09:11] <jim_p> idefix: module == driver
[09:11] <Frogzoo> idefix: you mean driver modules? then yes
[09:12] <koshari> idefix modules are basically subroutines.
[09:12] <tushar> I was using windows formerly now have just installed ubuntu
[09:12] <nnull> tushar¬ how long did you use windows for
[09:12] <tushar> and getting a very peculier problem with mozilla
[09:12] <jim_p> tushar: let me guess... crashes on flash sites?
[09:12] <tushar> for a very long time
[09:13] <Frogzoo> tv7497: dpkg -L sun-java5-bin
[09:13] <tushar> nope i have taken a screen shot
[09:13] <PeoplesAdvocate> Is a computer with 800MHz CPU, 256mb RAM adequate to run a server for SSH to use as a Internet proxy from home?
[09:13] <tushar> of this problem with mozilla
[09:13] <Frogzoo> PeoplesAdvocate: sure
[09:13] <tv7497> well i was installing jcreator using wine anyone can tell me where is java installed in the system i used sudo apt to install jdk 6
[09:13] <nnull> tushar¬ what im trying to say is, you didn't know everything about windows as soon as you sat down to use it, takes time to learn the different aspects of a different OS, how much time depends on you alone
[09:13] <idefix> jim_p anyhow, how do we fix the scramble? it seems a bit coincidental that my cam breaks down at the exact same moment as my new ubuntu installation
[09:13] <koshari> PeoplesAdvocate i would imagine it would be fine without a gui
[09:14] <_ruben> PeoplesAdvocate: i've run similar setups on much less powerfull hardware
[09:14] <PeoplesAdvocate> yeah thats what im plannin
[09:14] <jim_p> idefix: i think its a broken module on the new kernel
[09:14] <nnull> all these ppl using wine to code in java makes me sick! >:x
[09:15] <tushar> rite nnull
[09:15] <koshari> PeoplesAdvocate people use xboxes for such tasks and they are closely specced to yhe hardware you are suggesting
[09:15] <PeoplesAdvocate> cook
[09:15] <PeoplesAdvocate> cool
[09:15] <PeoplesAdvocate> I thnk i am going to do that
[09:15] <tv7497> nnull: i just bought java for dummies which uses jcreator
[09:15] <jim_p> idefix: now what?
[09:15] <nnull> tv7497¬ jcreator is some kind of windows java GUi program or?
[09:16]  * domi235 used BlueJ at school
[09:16] <tv7497> nnull: exactly :(
[09:16] <idefix> what happens with a new installation? I had a small error while upgrading: http://pastebin.ca/1231644
[09:16] <tushar> ok my problem is the internet connection is messed up on my pc or something is not proper;y installed in mozilla
[09:16] <nnull> tv7497¬ well if you need to use the program to start off fair enough, but keep in mind java's main strength is that is doesnt really on the OS, it can run on pretty much anything.
[09:16] <tushar> /home/tushar/Desktop/Screenshot.png
[09:17] <idefix> the thing is, in the status screen of the installation I wanted to copy some text but I accidentally sent an interrupt signal (ctrl-C) could that be the problem?
[09:17] <idefix> jim_p ^ ?
[09:17] <koshari> tv7497 you may want to check out netbeans for a java dev app
[09:17] <jim_p> idefix: that is nothing with the cam. it just stopped iptables (firewall app) violently
[09:17] <tushar> can someone have a look and tell me as to why mozilla is goin in a blackout mode every time i connect to the internet
[09:17] <idefix> what problems could that cause?
[09:18] <tushar> wuld b very thankful
[09:18] <mahmudi> f
[09:18] <jim_p> idefix: were the rest of the packages done with installing?
[09:18] <tv7497> nnull: where will be java installed generally i couldnt find it in my /bin or /home koshari well i would certainly sir i am just taking my first step with a little dummies book :d
[09:18] <idefix> do I need to reinstall my firewall for safety?
[09:18] <nnull> my flash full screen no longer works, really annoying :< just maxamises for a second and then goes back
[09:18] <idefix> i think so yes
[09:18] <jim_p> idefix: you updated today?
[09:18] <jim_p> !apt
[09:18] <idefix> no a week or two ago
[09:19] <nnull> tv7497¬ depends, /etc/? just use search from / for java
[09:19] <jim_p> idefix: can you update normally since, or do you get errors?
[09:19] <jim_p> idefix: do a         sudo apt-get -f install
[09:20] <nnull> and tv7497 ##java might come in helpful
[09:20] <tv7497> nnull: ok sir :)
[09:20] <idefix> http://pastebin.ca/1231648
[09:21] <Bezzina> hi
[09:21] <idefix> what happens when a program stops responding, is there then a problem with the IRQ?
[09:21] <jim_p> idefix: welll... you screwed the update! can you      sudo dpkg-reconfigure -a        ?
[09:21] <jim_p> dunno
[09:21] <PeoplesAdvocate> Ok so the specs are good to run the SSH, but if it is a FUJITSU netbook laptop P1120 model, I can consume less power with it than my main computer. It does not have a fan to cool it. Do ya still recommend it or will it get too hot and burn my house down?
[09:22] <jim_p> PeoplesAdvocate: lmao. put a fire extingusher next to it for safety reasons
[09:22] <PeoplesAdvocate> lol
[09:22] <nnull> jim_p¬ ive got a USB extingusher for that very reason.. lawl
[09:23] <jim_p> nnull: lmao
[09:23] <brez_> I have mine running on my laptop
[09:23] <PeoplesAdvocate> null:LMAO
[09:23] <idefix> what does it reconfigure? what is apache?
[09:23] <brez_> it's been up for a good 30 days, lol
[09:23] <whatvn> hi, everyone! I write a simple script called script.sh, how can I use crontab to run it every 30 minunutes?
[09:23] <idefix> jim_p?
[09:24] <idefix> is apache a web server!? you mean I can put stuff on my local harddisk and get a url to point to it?
[09:24] <jim_p> idefix: yes. but why do you need it?
[09:24] <idefix> my PC asked me if it should be run at startup
[09:24] <jim_p> lmao
[09:24] <jim_p> say no
[09:24] <idefix> what's so funny?
[09:25] <idefix> why? what if I want to share stuff with my friends?
[09:25] <koshari> whatvn you will need a cron entry,
[09:25] <jim_p> idefix: how did you get apache installed if you dont lnow its purpose?
[09:25] <idefix> I realize the potential of ubuntu, yet i am a beginner
[09:25] <PeoplesAdvocate> lol
[09:25] <jim_p> idefix: thats another story, use ftp
[09:25] <insty> Hi~ Just installed Ubuntu and having issues with getting the network to start, any suggestions? Also, coming from Fedora :P
[09:26] <idefix> can people just ftp my PC?
[09:26] <jim_p> idefix: you need apache if you are about to make a site
[09:26] <PeoplesAdvocate> use vsftp. THANKS to jim_p i can learn to configure it better
[09:26] <jim_p> idefix: yes
[09:26] <PeoplesAdvocate> lol
[09:26] <jim_p> lol
[09:26] <idefix> I always thought my only acces to internet was the harddisk of my internet provider
[09:26] <idefix> to offer stuff, you know
[09:26] <jcal87> oh my
[09:26] <idefix> I have a site
[09:26] <jim_p> idefix: use ftp. far better for file sharing
[09:26] <whatvn> @koshari: I want that script run after every 30 minutes, I wrote a cronjob like :15 1 * * * /usr/local/sbin/script.sh? is it ok?
[09:27] <idefix> I have a fancy CSS site
[09:27] <jim_p> with this and that, i forgot about dpkg-reconfigure
[09:27] <jim_p> !dpkg
[09:27] <jim_p> !apt
[09:27] <unitedpotsmokers> hi, can i install a wine and playonlinux both on my ubuntu?
[09:27] <koshari> whatvn i use gnome-schedule to add my crontabs,
[09:27] <idefix> what's the windows analog of dpkg?
[09:27] <PeoplesAdvocate> ok so since we are talking about ftp, apache and ssh stuff, can someone explain to me what MYSQL is?
[09:27] <whatvn> @koshari: where is it on my ubuntu?:(
[09:28] <jim_p> idefix: double click installation
[09:28] <insty> :(
[09:28] <idefix> so i say no to apache
[09:28] <jim_p> ok
[09:28] <idefix> does apache consume much resources?
[09:29] <koshari> you would need to install it, but i found it makes the cron syntax easier, sudo apt-get install gnome-schedule and run gnome-schedule
[09:29] <jim_p> PeoplesAdvocate: mysql is a form of database along with the tools needed to make it and manipulate it
[09:29] <bentob0x> there was an error while doing the fsck on a HD, in the /var/log/fsck/ folder there are two files: checkfs and checkroot, none of them have the report, where can I find it?
[09:29] <jim_p> idefix: nope
[09:29] <PeoplesAdvocate> ok so where does it come in play with AMAROK?
[09:29] <jim_p> what is that stupid command that we issue every time apt fails? dpkg-reconfigure ... ?
[09:30] <jim_p> PeoplesAdvocate: amarok uses a database to store its songs and categorise them
[09:30] <whatvn> @koshari: please help me, i cant find it:(
[09:30] <idefix> how many dates with different women should you have per week if you're still single?
[09:30] <PeoplesAdvocate> ohhh, ok, I guess i will learn how to set one of those up then. LOL
[09:30] <jim_p> PeoplesAdvocate: like windows media player does. this is the main reason i dislike amarok. the other one is kde!
[09:30] <idefix_is_a_kook> can bushy beaver be upgraded to hoary hedgehog?
[09:31] <idefix> oh sorry, that was ratter off-topic
[09:31] <jim_p> idefix: 1-2
[09:31] <koshari> whatvn you will need to install it can you cut and paste this in a terminal, ﻿sudo apt-get install gnome-schedule
[09:31] <bouma> jim_p: hey. im still trying to figure out how to set the nautilus visible names
[09:31] <whatvn> @koshari:is there an way to do a cron job using only terminal?
[09:32] <cagnazzo> anyone know if theres a particular reason why scrollkeeper update is using 100% of my cpu?
[09:32] <PeoplesAdvocate> I LOVE UBUNTU, I came into about a year already and Ive learned so much, especially the terminal!!!
[09:32] <jim_p> bouma: where did you get stuck?
[09:32] <bouma> jim_p: is it drive lables part of the partition table ?
[09:32] <idefix> the reconfig is done kim_p
[09:32] <bouma> jim_p: or something on the disk? do i use fdisk to set the labels ?
[09:32] <idefix> jim_p!
[09:32] <jim_p> boubbin: like sdx ?
[09:33] <mediocre-ninja> hello everybody,
[09:33] <idefix_is_a_kook> hello mediocre-ninja
[09:33] <jim_p> idefix: does update work now?
[09:33] <cagnazzo> my laptop must be like 80degrees C
[09:33] <mediocre-ninja> how could I get a "unaffiliated" hostname in IRC ?
[09:33] <bouma> under fdisk it lists 'b edit bsd disklabel'
[09:33] <ikonia> mediocre-ninja join #freenode and ask for help with a cloak
[09:33] <idefix> no
[09:34] <fcrick> can i set up ubuntu so windows machines can just address it by the hostname?
[09:34] <ikonia> fcrick you need a name service such as dns, or put an entry in the hosts file on the WINDOWS machine
[09:34] <jim_p> idefix: dpkg --configure -a
[09:34] <jim_p> ???
[09:34] <kuthux1> .
[09:34] <koshari> whatvn the way you are doing it should be fine, it looks to me that your cron job ﻿15 1 * * * will run the app only in the first hour at 15 minutes, i think you want 15 * * * *
[09:35] <toastyLaptopDude> i have to go
[09:35] <toastyLaptopDude> see you all later
[09:35] <fcrick> ikonia: ahh i didn't select dns server on install - how do i install that now (installation just finished)
[09:35] <koshari> whatvn however i dont think you can run at 15 minute intervals continuousely
[09:35] <bouma> jim_p: perhaps the disklabel varies for different partition types ?
[09:35] <kuthux> .
[09:35] <jim_p> bouma: thats what i was about to say :P
[09:35] <insty`> Hi~ Just installed Ubuntu and having issues with getting the network to start/work, any suggestions?
[09:35] <bouma> jim_p: ok so there is e2label ?
[09:35] <ikonia> fcrick put the name servers in the resolv.conf file, or even better, open the networking application from the system -> administration window and enter them there
[09:36] <jim_p> insty: wired / wireless?
[09:36] <insty`> wired
[09:36] <jim_p> bouma: dunno
[09:36] <bouma> jim_p: should i use e2label for my ext3 partitions ?
[09:36] <bouma> jim_p: i dont get paths like you do in nautilus
[09:36] <whatvn> @koshari:so if I want to run this script every 2 hours? what should I add to cron job?
[09:36] <tv7497> is there a way to find where my java is installed ?
[09:36] <cagnazzo> anyone got any ideas as to why scrollkeeper update is eating resources and as to its importance?
[09:36] <insty`> Worked fine on Fedora, Kubuntu and Opensuse :<
[09:36] <jim_p> bouma: name them normally like /mnt/windows
[09:36] <bouma> jim_p: just imprecise names like media, media2, New Volume
[09:37] <fcrick> ikonia: the name servers?  i just have a hardware router on cable
[09:37] <idefix> is ~ this a hyphen?
[09:37] <bouma> jim_p: these names are unrelated to the mount points
[09:37] <jim_p> bouma: thjen its some automation mechanism that kicks in
[09:37] <fcrick> why can't it just do what windows does and just work
[09:37] <whatvn> @Koshari: I add 120 * * * * , i get error :|
[09:37] <jim_p> bouma: some gnome one i thing
[09:37] <jim_p> think
[09:37] <idefix> dpkg: status database area is locked by another process
[09:37] <idefix> jim_p ^
[09:37] <ikonia> whatvn thats not a valid cron entry
[09:38] <idefix> jim-p it works now I quit synaptic
[09:38] <idefix> jim_p it works now I quit synaptic
[09:38] <whatvn> Ikonia:cron can't run a script every 2 hours?
[09:38] <jim_p> idefix: do you have synaptic or aptitude or apt running?
[09:38] <jim_p> ok sorry
[09:38] <ikonia> whatvn yes, but your entry of 120 * * * * is not valid
[09:39] <sauvin> What was the "120" part supposed to be?
[09:39] <idefix> this comman " sudo apt-get -f install " it installs a package with no name, what is the -f argument for?
[09:39] <koshari> whatvn IMO you cannot have 120, the minute field has to be between i and 59
[09:39] <koshari> 1 and 59
[09:39] <ikonia> sauvin he meant 120 minutes
[09:39] <fcrick> isn't there just something i can type that will make it work?  like, so it does whatever windows does to make name resolution work on a local network?
[09:39] <jcooke> Is there a fix for when flash causes alsa to eat it and firefox crashes, and won't reload.
[09:39] <sauvin> Feh, just do a * 2 * * *
[09:39] <idefix> jim_p I cannot see in the manual
[09:39] <whatvn> Ikonia:if I want this script run after every 2 hours?
[09:39] <jim_p> idefix: it forces installation of half installed packages in case you broke the installation procedure in half
[09:39] <ikonia> sauvin: that won't work either, that will only run at 2 oclock

[09:42] <sauvin> Anyhow, I have a Q. I've installed bandwidthd, but it doesn't launch automatically when I start the computer. I have to do a sudo /etc/init.d/bandwidthd start manually. Where do you suppose I should put this line so it starts when the computer doesS?
[09:43] <idefix> the && command is like sort of piping the second command to the first, no?
[09:43] <ikonia> kxjono it won't "minutes, hours, days, months, day of week
[09:43] <ikonia> oops
[09:43] <bhindi> sir thats message appear
[09:43] <Yaskin> anyone here that can help with mac and ubuntu?
[09:43] <bhindi> ikonia:
[09:43] <ikonia> jcooke the format is minutes hours days of month, month day of week, so that will run ever 2 hours as I sigguested
[09:43] <jcooke> ikonia, it would be 0 for minutes
[09:43] <jim_p> idefix: the && states that once the 1st command is done with no errors, proceed to the 2nd and so on
[09:43] <bhindi> sir ikonia
[09:43] <jcooke> or else it'll run every 60 times in those hours
[09:44] <idefix> is there also something for running the second command if the first doesn't work?
[09:44] <jcooke> s/every//
[09:44] <ikonia> jcooke ah so 0 instead of * for the minutes, yes
[09:44] <jcooke> ikonia, right

[09:44]  * jim_p scratches head
[09:44] <bhindi> i found jim_p sir
[09:45] <jim_p> bhindi: what was it?
[09:45] <idefix> yes it is jim_p
[09:45] <bhindi> i said to ikonia
[09:45] <jcooke> AdvoWork, is the default PDF printer not formatting right?
[09:45] <bhindi> he said 2 me wat u want
[09:45] <jim_p> bhindi: ok then
[09:45] <Slack_> how do i unzip a zip with unzip and have the files extracted in the same dir as the zip file
[09:45] <bhindi> oks thanxs
[09:45] <jim_p> you are welcome
[09:46] <idefix> how were we solving the webcam problem?
[09:46] <jim_p> Slack_: right click > extract!
[09:46] <AdvoWork> jcooke in firefox I can go print > print to file (so i can choose location) then select pdf, then select location(it keeps forgetting settings??) but it just seems long winded, any suggestions?
[09:46] <bhindi> and plz tell me how i can use this ettercap software
[09:46] <PeoplesAdvocate> use wireshark
[09:46] <jim_p> idefix: what is your              uname -r          now
[09:46] <PeoplesAdvocate> its better to my opion
[09:46] <ajsa> hi
[09:47] <RichEd> hi ajsa
[09:47] <zaggynl> its maintained
[09:47] <zaggynl> can't say the same of ettercap
[09:47] <ajsa> RichEd, ping
[09:47] <jcooke> AdvoWork, you should be able to add a PDF printer in the printer setup under System
[09:47] <zaggynl> Anyone knows of an alternative to cain & abel for linux?
[09:47] <jcooke> AdvoWork, I can't recall if it's available by default, but assuming cups is installed it should be
[09:47] <AdvoWork> jcooke do they remember the formatting etc though?
[09:47] <PeoplesAdvocate> bhindi: install wireshark
[09:47] <bhindi> oks
[09:48] <sauvin> In /etc/rc5.d, there are files named K[0-9][0-9]* and others named S[0-9][0-9]*. What is the diff between the K* and S* files?
[09:48] <idefix> 2.6.15-52-386
[09:48] <whatvn> @bhindi: tcpdump do it good!
[09:48] <jcooke> AdvoWork, it depends, if the webpage has styles for printing, it'll print in that format
[09:48] <bhindi> is that fit 4 me r like ettercap soft
[09:48] <PeoplesAdvocate> and when you run it do it in the terminal (sudo wireshark) it shoud bring up gui of program
[09:48] <AdvoWork> jcooke yeah it has
[09:48] <jcooke> AdvoWork, I've never tried to ignore the print styles set, but I'm sure there's a way, worst case you could use firebug to disable print styles
[09:49] <jim_p> idefix: :O what ubuntu version are you on ? 7.04?
[09:49] <ubuntu> yeah
[09:49] <jcooke> AdvoWork, or save the page then edit out the stylesheet that's set for print media
[09:50] <AdvoWork> jcooke ive added a pdf printer, but i cant see where i can set the options for location?(this is with cups pdf so it seems)
[09:50] <PeoplesAdvocate> anyone here use Aircrack-ng?
[09:50] <jcooke> AdvoWork, unfortunately my firefox crashed and I haven't resolved being able to fix it without rebooting yet
[09:50] <jim_p> idefix: i have to leave in like 10 minutes!
[09:51] <AdvoWork> jcooke ahh ok, the thing is, it pdfs ok, but i dunno where it saves to lol
[09:51] <jim_p> PeoplesAdvocate: you are going to make us illegal :P have a look in youtube for a vid
[09:51] <jcooke> AdvoWork, ~/PDF
[09:51] <AdvoWork> yeah, found it. can i change that location though?
[09:51] <PeoplesAdvocate> i know how to use it i was just wondering if anyone else here has?
[09:51] <xB4> hi all
[09:51] <PeoplesAdvocate> lol
[09:52] <jcooke> AdvoWork, careful also because printing from the same site/page, but a different output, will overwrite the last one printed from the same location
[09:52] <jcooke> AdvoWork, not sure, let me check
[09:53] <ActionParsnip> yo yo yo
[09:53] <jcooke> AdvoWork, edit /etc/cups/cups-pdf.conf
[09:54] <jcooke> AdvoWork, probably have to restart cups after that
[09:55] <sauvin> Anyhow, I have a Q. I've installed bandwidthd, but it doesn't launch automatically when I start the computer. I have to do a sudo /etc/init.d/bandwidthd start manually. Where do you suppose I should put this line so it starts when the computer doesS?
[09:55] <insty`> Hi~ Just installed Ubuntu and having issues with getting the network (wired) to start/work, any suggestions?
[09:55] <Ziggyzxxyl> anyone here know how to use acidrip dvd ripper?
[09:55] <ActionParsnip> !startup > sauvin
[09:55] <sauvin> ActionParsnip: thanks!
[09:55] <PeoplesAdvocate> is it connected to a ehternet cable?
[09:55] <PeoplesAdvocate> jk]
[09:55] <insty`> ~_~
[09:56] <insty`> Haven't had problems with Kubuntu or Fedora with this.
[09:56] <ActionParsnip> Ziggyzxxyl: isnt that a windows application?
[09:56] <Ziggyzxxyl> more specifically.. how do I set Acidrip to rip all the video files on a DVD rather than one at a time?
[09:56] <Ziggyzxxyl> Acidrip is a linux version in the repos
[09:56] <ActionParsnip> insty`: run lspci to see what hardware it uses
[09:56] <ActionParsnip> Ziggyzxxyl: ok cool
[09:57] <ActionParsnip> Ziggyzxxyl: tried man pages?
[09:57] <Ziggyzxxyl> ActionParsnip: nope ;)
[09:57] <giusef> Where can I get Ubuntu 8.10?
[09:57] <wizkoder> hy everybody
[09:57] <Ziggyzxxyl> I'm way too lazy.
[09:57] <strAlan> what is character-based telnet?
[09:57] <idefix> sorry I was gone for a sec jim_p
[09:58] <wartalker> network manager does not show the wireless net, why?
[09:58] <ActionParsnip> strAlan: its a console connection to a server running a telent server, all keypresses are unencrypted
[09:58] <wizkoder> can anybody recommend me a good network backup solution? we have 3 servers here that need to be backupped without shutdown.
[09:58] <wolfeySI> hello i have intel PRO/Wireless 5100 and ubuntu 8.10 beta
[09:58] <wolfeySI> WPA personal works
[09:58] <insty`> ActionParsnip,  Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168B PCI express gigabit ethernet controller
[09:58] <wolfeySI> enterprise doesnt
[09:58] <strAlan> ActionParsnip, is it any different than just regular telenet ?
[09:58] <wolfeySI> any solution?
[09:58] <ikonia> !ibex > wolfeySI
[09:58] <AdvoWork> jcooke cheers! how do you restart cups? /etc/init.d/cups restart or something?
[09:58] <ActionParsnip> strAlan: sounds identical, ssh is a better solution as it is encrypted
[09:59] <jim_p> idefix: will you be here in like 4 hours?
[09:59] <idefix> jim_p thank God  you're still there
[09:59] <strAlan> ActionParsnip, I'm familiar with the differences between telnet and ssh, I'm just wondering why there's "character-based" telnet
[09:59] <strAlan> and how it's different
[09:59] <jcooke> AdvoWork, yes, also, one other thing, sec
[09:59] <strAlan> but thank you :)
[09:59] <AciD-Ghost> Good morning
[09:59] <jim_p> idefix: i have to go !
[09:59] <idefix> yes, in four hours, very well
[09:59] <jim_p> ok see you then
[09:59] <idefix> see you at 2 GMT
[09:59] <jcooke> AdvoWork, also, change Label 0 to Label 1, and it'll add a job ID to each filename to prevent overwriting
[09:59] <erkin> hi, i want to open my webserver, which works fine on lan, to wan . I have set my server as dmz host. What else should i do? (i use ubuntu 8.04, tomcat 6.0.16, usr9108 router/modem)
[10:00] <idefix> a little bit later jim_p
[10:00] <jim_p> idefix: and please o please upgrade to 2.6.24 kernel
[10:00] <ActionParsnip> strAlan: telnet is character based...weird
[10:00] <jcooke> AdvoWork, sudo /etc/init.d/cupsys restart
[10:00] <ActionParsnip> insty`: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=582453
[10:00] <ActionParsnip> insty`: id have a look at the script to see what it actually does
[10:00] <idefix> what is 'kernel'?
[10:01] <zaggynl> !kernel
[10:01] <Dwob> I just installed 7zip, but cant fint it on my computer! Where did it go ? Its not in the programs tab :-/
[10:01] <insty`> Thanks, I'll take a look.
[10:01] <bullgard4> ":~$ sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart; * Reconfiguring network interfaces...; Ignoring unknown interface eth1=eth1.; Ignoring unknown interface eth2=eth2.; Ignoring unknown interface ath0=ath0.; Ignoring unknown interface wlan0=wlan0." Still the LAN works now all right. Why does it not respond with: "* Reconfiguring network interfaces...OK]"?
[10:01] <jcooke> AdvoWork, glad you asked about PDF printing, that filename thing has been annoying me for a year
[10:01] <strAlan> idefix, it's the guy that leads his troops into battle
[10:01] <AdvoWork> jcooke cool, saying that though ive just thought of one issue.. the things that are being saved are pdf quotes, so we need to save them as say 12345.pdf where 12345 is the jobnumber :/ can you still do that?
[10:01] <idefix> nice description
[10:02] <Ziggyzxxyl> I Lyekka Kai
[10:02] <ActionParsnip> Ziggyzxxyl: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=230112 may help, you really should read the man pages though
[10:02] <Ziggyzxxyl> fanx
[10:02] <jcooke> AdvoWork, PDF quotes?
[10:02] <ActionParsnip> bullgard4: if you run ifconfig do you see those devices
[10:03] <AdvoWork> jcooke we call them pdf quotes, basically we're pdfing a page, which to us is a quote, so we need to be able to choose a filename :
[10:03] <bullgard4> ActionParsnip: This is true but does not answer the question which I have put.
[10:03] <selig5>  
[10:04] <Yaskin> why wont my mac boot from the iso HH 8.04 when the image is restored onto a hard drive, it sees linux is on there but it wont boot up.
[10:04] <ganes> how to get the output of grub prompt to any file
[10:04] <ActionParsnip> bullgard4: its a weird one i'll give you that
[10:04] <jcooke> AdvoWork, there's no way currently to choose a filename with cups-pdf I don't think, I believe you can with kdeprint though, which does run under gnome
[10:04] <ActionParsnip> bullgard4: id log a bug with that data as well as the output of ifconfig
[10:04] <AdvoWork> jcooke ahh ok, ill give that a look
[10:04] <ikonia> bullgard4: can you paste your interfaces file please
[10:04] <jcooke> with Label 1, the filename will be job_#-Page_Title.pdf
[10:04] <ActionParsnip> bullgard4: or try later, maybe someone different will have an answer
[10:04] <ikonia> pastebin I should say
[10:04] <magnetron> Yaskin→ you need to install a bootloader.
[10:05] <ikonia> bullgard4: pastebin your interfaces file please.
[10:05] <Yaskin> magnetron i have no idea
[10:05] <ActionParsnip> bullgard4: /etc/network/interfaces file please
[10:05] <Yaskin> is the disk no a bootable image?
[10:05] <Yaskin> not
[10:06] <kuthux> Yaskin: have u install / repair grub? does your hdd have a boot flag?
[10:06] <ActionParsnip> !grub | kuthux
[10:06] <insty`> ActionParsnip, <3 Script fixed it.
[10:06] <jcooke> AdvoWork, in order to use it in gnome you can point lpt to the kprinter binary(wherever it is)
[10:06] <ikonia> bullgard4: pastebin your interfaces file please.
[10:06] <kuthux> ActionParsnip: don't send it to me
[10:06] <ActionParsnip> insty`: awesome
[10:07] <dekkong> Hello!! does anyone use awsome in here_
[10:07] <ActionParsnip> kuthux: yeah sorry man
[10:07] <ActionParsnip> !awesome
[10:07] <ActionParsnip> !info awesome
[10:07] <insty`> Next question, is there a way to make it so I don't need to auth for everything?
[10:07] <bullgard4> ikonia, ActionParsnip: http://paste.ubuntuusers.de/392480/
[10:07] <AdvoWork> jcooke and is that easy/hard?
[10:07] <jcooke> AdvoWork, easy I think, you just configure it in the gnome print manager
[10:08] <ikonia> bullgard4: can you now please paste ifconfig -a please.
[10:08] <ikonia> as in pastebin
[10:08] <ActionParsnip> bullgard4: what happens if you uncomment the lines that start #iface
[10:09] <AdvoWork> jcooke cool, just doing aptitude install kdeprint so will get that going
[10:09] <kelvin911> if i boot from liveCD, how do i mount the hd??
[10:09] <ActionParsnip> !mount | kelvin911
[10:10] <ActionParsnip> kelvin911: make a directory someplace
[10:10] <ActionParsnip> kelvin911: sudo fdisk -l will show you your partitions
[10:10] <ActionParsnip> kelvin911: then sudo mount /dev/<partition name> <mount point>
[10:10] <bullgard4> ikonia: http://paste.ubuntuusers.de/392481/
[10:11] <AdvoWork> jcooke once its installed, do you know how to even get it working, or do i need to add the new printer?
[10:11] <kelvin911> what is partition point?
[10:11] <ActionParsnip> bullgard4: there is no eth1 in your system
[10:11] <kelvin911> can u be more concrete?
[10:11] <ikonia> bullgard4 if you look at your ifconfig -a output you have devices missing
[10:11] <kelvin911> i mean mount point
[10:11] <ikonia> bullgard4: thats the problem, remove them from the interfaces file unless they appear in ifocnifg -a
[10:11] <ActionParsnip> kelvin911: no as the partitions will be unique for your system
[10:11] <ActionParsnip> kelvin911: example:
[10:11] <ActionParsnip> kelvin911: sudo mkdir /mnt/test; sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/test
[10:12] <kelvin911> ok
[10:12] <ActionParsnip> bullgard4: you also dont have wlan0
[10:12] <ActionParsnip> bullgard4: you have wifi0
[10:12] <TerryChang> i have configed nginx ,and i can access it successfully on my computer,but i use other pc in Lan,it can't work correctly
[10:12] <ActionParsnip> kelvin911: you need to run sudo fdisk -l to see what partitions you have
[10:13] <kelvin911> ActionParsnip: is there a way to install ubuntu on a usb stick?
[10:13] <ActionParsnip> kelvin911: then mount to empty folder
[10:13] <kelvin911> so i can use it on other computer
[10:13] <ActionParsnip> !usb | kelvin911
[10:13] <ActionParsnip> !info nginx
[10:14] <ActionParsnip> TerryChang: do you have your firewall configured correctly?
[10:14] <TerryChang> i don't use any firewall
[10:15] <kelvin911> ActionParsnip: i dont want Install Ubuntu from a USB stick
[10:15]  * sauvin hopes TerryChang has all his ports locked down
[10:15] <kelvin911> ActionParsnip: i want to install linux os into the usb
[10:15] <ActionParsnip> kelvin911: For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent
[10:15] <TerryChang> i think ,i dont describe my problem correctly
[10:15] <ActionParsnip> kelvin911: that guide will tell you
[10:15] <TerryChang> i config 404 error redirect,and it correct worked ,but on other PC in Lan ,it doesn't work
[10:16] <ActionParsnip> kelvin911: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=796251
[10:16] <iamelite> If i have a second harddrive for random files maybe games, is there a difference between what partition i would want to use? besides the obvious "not ntfs"
[10:16] <ActionParsnip> TerryChang: try httping to the servers ip address rather than name
[10:16] <ActionParsnip> iamelite: its storage so doesnt matter
[10:16] <iamelite> k
[10:16] <iamelite> ActionParsnip, thx
[10:18] <erkin> hi, i want to open my webserver, which works fine on lan, to wan . I have set my server as dmz host. What else should i do? (i use ubuntu 8.04, tomcat 6.0.16, usr9108 router/modem)
[10:19] <stevem_> !twinview
[10:19] <kelvin911> does installing the ubuntu into usb shorten the usb's life?
[10:20] <stevem_> is it possible to use twinview - and have fullscreen games on just one screen?
[10:20] <ActionParsnip> kelvin911: if you use ext3 then yes as the journal is written to a fair bit
[10:21] <errenne> kelvin911: doing anything with a usb stick shortens its life
[10:21] <kelvin911> ActionParsnip: how short?
[10:21] <kelvin911> ActionParsnip:a year?
[10:21] <ActionParsnip> kelvin911: but they do have a limited amount of read / writes but if you make an iso backup to another location you can simply restore the image when it finally dies
[10:21] <ActionParsnip> kelvin911: something like that, depends on use
[10:21] <Spudz> (repeating because I got disconnected)...
[10:21] <Spudz> Dear all, I just wasted a whole morning trying to share my internet with my housemates using wireless.  It left me in a state of idiots rage.  Both other pcs (mac and xp notebook) can see the cnxn, and join.  but the ip's are 169.254.x.y, and they cant load webpages.  can anyone explain to me what's going on?
[10:22] <kelvin911> ActionParsnip: lets say i will use it everyday
[10:22] <kelvin911> ActionParsnip: how long does it last before it dies?
[10:22] <ActionParsnip> kelvin911: id imagine it vrys from day to day. id do some research
[10:22] <kelvin911> ActionParsnip: and does it gives me a warning before it dies?
[10:22] <dVs--> i downloaded vmware and its a .bundle how do I go aboput trying to install that ?
[10:23] <ActionParsnip> kelvin911: you'll get disk read / write errors. if you keep a backup image of the disk it wont matter as you can simply restore
[10:24] <Jahman> hi
[10:24] <xB4> can somewone help me
[10:24] <kulfi> i've installed ubuntu server. and then then ubuntu-desktop so that i had a gui. this came with vino-server (vnc server).
[10:24] <xB4> I dont know how I can join LAN games
[10:24] <szuper-t> hi jahman
[10:25] <kulfi> is there any way to start vino-server at startup? so that i can run the machine 'headless'?
[10:25] <ActionParsnip> kulfi: you may as well have got the desktop iso then
[10:25] <ActionParsnip> kulfi: running x servers on servers is a bad choice
[10:26] <kulfi> @ActionParsnip - got any advice re vino-server?
[10:26] <ActionParsnip> !startup > kulfi
[10:26] <kelvin911> ActionParsnip: i guess maybe it is better to use external esb drive instead of usb memory
[10:26] <ActionParsnip> kelvin911: have a look around dude, you might be suprised
[10:26] <kelvin911> ActionParsnip: i can install ubuntu on a external hdd right?
[10:26] <ActionParsnip> kelvin911: usb is cheap enough to be disposable
[10:26] <ActionParsnip> kelvin911: you can install it on any storage
[10:26] <kulfi> thanks ActionParsnip, i'll give that a try
[10:27] <kelvin911> ActionParsnip:  but i dont it dies when i am working on my projects

[10:48] <ActionParsnip> kelli: the "movie player" you state is really called totem but it just makes it easier for peopleunfamiliar with the system
[10:49] <kuthux> ActionParsnip: http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/8700/
[10:49] <kelvin911> it is better to play flv with MPlayer
[10:49] <master_> Shadowchaser: one good thing about unix systems in permissions, try and use sophisticated passwords and also enhance your firewall
[10:50] <ActionParsnip> kelli: yeah vlc can play flv videos
[10:50] <kelvin911> kelli: make sure in video output in Mplayer is X11/Xv
[10:50] <kelli> ActionParsnip,  it the defalt on with ubuntu
[10:50] <kelvin911> vlc can play flv but u cant move the bar
[10:50] <ActionParsnip> kelli: i believe totem is. if you try and install it and its already installed it wont harm anything
[10:50] <kelvin911> i mean forward and backward
[10:50] <kelvin911> totem is piece of crap
[10:51] <kuthux> http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/9886/
[10:51] <master_> Hi guys: gmplayer and mplayer are the best amongst other all, been using it for many years
[10:51] <kelli> ActionParsnip, totem
[10:52] <ActionParsnip> kuthux: i gues you are waiting then. or you could maybe resize the mac partition to make space
[10:52] <kelvin911> install mplayer
[10:52] <kelli> ActionParsnip, it is totem
[10:52] <kelvin911> and u need also the w32codec or something like that
[10:52] <ActionParsnip> kuthux: im unsure of mac resizing partitions using gparted as ive never done it
[10:52] <ActionParsnip> kelli: sudo apt-get install gmplayer
[10:52] <kuthux> ActionParsnip: this is about Yaskin's question. tell him, not me
[10:53] <ActionParsnip> Yaskin: id research into maybe resizing the mac partition using gparted but ive not done it
[10:53] <Neaai> I have a dual boot system, with debian on /dev/hda2 and ubuntu in /dev/hdb1.  GRUB is installed in /dev/hda.  Each os puts its kernel in it's own root partition's /boot.  Is there any way to have GRUB detect the other partition's kernels and put those entries in the menu.lst correctly?
[10:53] <bhindi> running ettercap
[10:53] <bhindi> plz tell janni
[10:53] <moljac024> guys
[10:53] <moljac024> I need some help
[10:53] <bhindi> tell me any 1
[10:54] <ActionParsnip> !ask | moljac024
[10:54] <moljac024> non-ubuntu related
[10:54] <moljac024> but still
[10:54] <bhindi> me 2
[10:54] <moljac024> something is wrong with my pc
[10:54] <bhindi> helleo
[10:54] <moljac024> I need help diagnosing it
[10:54] <kelli> ActionParsnip, cant find package
[10:54] <ActionParsnip> moljac024: if its not an ubuntu support question then take it to offtopic
[10:54] <ActionParsnip> kelli: ok try sudo apt-get install mplayer
[10:54] <kelvin911> moljac024: whats wrong?
[10:54] <bhindi> ActionParsnip:  tell me plz running ettercap
[10:54] <moljac024> the pc sounds like a cable is caught in a fan
[10:54] <moljac024> horrible
[10:54] <moljac024> like shredding sounds
[10:55] <ActionParsnip> bhindi: no idea what it is dude
[10:55] <moljac024> but no cable in the fan, I disconnected the fan to make sure
[10:55] <moljac024> it's it
[10:55] <kelvin911> moljac024: case fan probably
[10:55] <moljac024> but the pc still makes that sound
[10:55] <bhindi> oks
[10:55] <broken1> Is it possible to set up sshfs as a normal user?
[10:55] <moljac024> case fan ?
[10:55] <bhindi> but i install it
[10:55] <moljac024> what can be wrong with it ?
[10:55] <HNValuedCustomer> dust build up
[10:55] <kelvin911> or cpu fan or videocard han
[10:55] <kelvin911> fan
[10:55] <bhindi> but i cannot find how it run ActionParsnip
[10:55] <ActionParsnip> moljac024: try dropping some wd40 in the fan to lube it
[10:55] <moljac024> wd40 ?
[10:55] <kelvin911> it is dieing and make noice
[10:56] <moljac024> It's not the cpu fan, i'm sure of it
[10:56] <ActionParsnip> wd40 is non conductive but try not to get it all over the place
[10:56] <moljac024> i disconnected it
[10:56] <master_> kelli: gmplayer has graphical inteface while mplayer runs from the terminal using commands, the best way to install them is you download source code from mplayer website, you can google search, I hope you know how to install a source package
[10:56] <moljac024> i don't have any wd40
[10:56] <kelli> ActionParsnip, installing now
[10:56] <ActionParsnip> moljac024: its a lubricant with no electrical conductivity
[10:56] <moljac024> don't even know what it is actually :)
[10:56] <moljac024> oh, ok
[10:56] <moljac024> don't have it
[10:56] <moljac024> but as i said, it's not the cpu fan
[10:56] <ActionParsnip> moljac024: find something equivelant and lube up your fans
[10:56] <moljac024> but you're sure it has to be a fan ?
[10:57] <kelvin911> could be video card fan
[10:57] <kelvin911> maybe hdd
[10:57] <kelvin911> or powersupply fan
[10:57] <ActionParsnip> moljac024: if you stop the fan momentarily with  finger (be gentle) you can identify the sound
[10:57] <ActionParsnip> moljac024: only stop it for like half millisecond just to test
[10:58] <moljac024> video card is a radeon x550
[10:58] <Cesarenet> ciao a tutti
[10:58] <B|ackPanther> Is it possible to view the contents of an mp3 file? i want to search the web and assign songs i have to their artists but i dont  want to use the names of the songs. I want to at least use some of its contents for the search.
[10:59] <ikonia> B|ackPanther: an mp3 file is encoded music - what do you hope to gain viewing that
[11:00] <ActionParsnip> kelli: ok now in terminal run: mplayer /path/tofile.flv (obviously replace the file name with the name of your flv file)
[11:00] <moljac024> hmm
[11:00] <moljac024> this video card fan
[11:00] <moljac024> is tiny
[11:00] <moljac024> i'm not sure it's a fan actually
[11:00] <ActionParsnip> blackkatt: you could perform some task on it to pull the artist from the tags
[11:00] <moljac024> it shouldn
[11:00] <moljac024> 't be called a fan
[11:00] <moljac024> :)
[11:01] <ActionParsnip> moljac024: its derived from hand fans used to move air
[11:01] <eirik__> what's a good socks4 or socks5 proxy server for ubuntu? (preferably in repos or available as.deb)
[11:01] <ActionParsnip> eirik__: squid
[11:01] <ActionParsnip> !info squid
[11:02] <B|ackPanther> ikonia, you know when you enter music files in like windows media player,you can can get the files with their names and all the other information,how do they do that ?If i can know how i will be fine.I want to do the same in ubuntu even if i have to write my own program.
[11:02] <moljac024> it sounds like it's coming from the video card fan direction
[11:02] <moljac024> is it safe for me to try to stop it ?
[11:02] <ikonia> B|ackPanther thats id3 tagging and cddb
[11:02] <ActionParsnip> moljac024: do it but only very VERY briefly
[11:02] <victamower> is the Pulseaudio system used by default in Hardy, or do you have to set it up?
[11:02] <moljac024> hmm
[11:02] <moljac024> sounds dangerous
[11:02] <kelvin911> probably the fan in the video card is starting to stop working
[11:02] <moljac024> what if i just remove the video card ?
[11:02] <sani> need help with installing firefox on ubuntu 6.06 :d
[11:03] <moljac024> wouldn't that be safer ? :)
[11:03] <ActionParsnip> moljac024: its fine as long as you dont hold it for like 10 seconds
[11:03] <kelvin911> usually when the fan is spinning slower will generate noice in my experience
[11:03] <moljac024> hmm
[11:03] <B|ackPanther> ikonia,thanks, i will look at what that is.
[11:03] <ActionParsnip> moljac024: your system needs a graphics card or it will fail pos
[11:03] <ActionParsnip> t
[11:03] <moljac024> I know
[11:03] <moljac024> but I will see if that sound is still there
[11:03] <moljac024> upon poweron
[11:03] <ActionParsnip> moljac024: just put a finger on it then off straight away
[11:03] <sani> Can someone help with installing firefox on ubuntu 6.06 ? :D
[11:04] <ActionParsnip> if the sound stops for that moment you ave gold
[11:04] <moljac024> well, it's in a really akward place
[11:04] <ActionParsnip> !firefox
[11:04] <moljac024> are you sure a finger ?
[11:04] <moljac024> can i lose my finger this way ? :P
[11:04] <ActionParsnip> moljac024: on the centre of the fan and gently
[11:04] <moljac024> lol
[11:04] <ActionParsnip> no not at all
[11:04] <obi_de> !opera
[11:04] <moljac024> I'm afraid i won't be gentle enough
[11:05] <kelvin911> couple yrs ago when i had one of those 9000RPM volcano cpu heat sink, i cut my thumb with it
[11:05] <drowner> !epiphany
[11:05] <drowner> :D
[11:05] <kuthux> !hello > ubottu
[11:05] <moljac024> in any case, if it is the vid card fan, I should replace the card then, right ?
[11:05] <kuthux> lol
[11:05] <bimberi> victamower: Pulseaudio is default in Hardy (like the nick btw :) )
[11:05] <ActionParsnip> moljac024: its not made of glass, they can take a bit of stick dude
[11:05] <kelvin911> if the fan in video card stops working your video card will get quite hot
[11:05] <moljac024> ActionParsnip: lol :)
[11:06] <victamower> bimberi: on my system it's disabled by default?  under Sound Preferences, esd is enabled
[11:06] <kelvin911> pulseaudio is horrible
[11:06] <kelvin911> it cant play sound in more than 1 application
[11:07] <eirik__> kelvin911: it should. i use it
[11:07] <ActionParsnip> kelvin911: if you only stop it a millisecond and the sound stops you know where the sound is coming from, the fan will spin up
[11:07] <kuthux> kelvin911: what apps use puleaudio
[11:07] <bimberi> victamower: I'm going by this page https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio - and my recollection of what came out of the box.  I've done some fiddling since.
[11:07] <kuthux> pulseaudio*
[11:07] <sani> so do I have to enter that code / script to console?
[11:08] <kelvin911> ActionParsnip: why when i have pulseaudio i cant play sound in more than one app?
[11:08] <moljac024> yup
[11:08] <moljac024> it's the video card fan
[11:08] <ActionParsnip> kelvin911: not sure, im sticking with tried and tested alsa
[11:08] <kelvin911> for example, if i am playing mp3, i can get sound in youtube
[11:08] <ActionParsnip> moljac024: did you stop the fan?
[11:08] <moljac024> ActionParsnip: yes
[11:09] <ActionParsnip> moljac024: and did the world end?
[11:09] <moljac024> and the horrible sounds from hell stopped as well
[11:09] <moljac024> ActionParsnip: no lol
[11:09] <moljac024> i
[11:09] <ActionParsnip> moljac024: told you
[11:09] <kelvin911> go buy the new video card
[11:09] <moljac024> I'm always afraid of messing sth up
[11:09] <moljac024> when dealing with hardware
[11:09] <ActionParsnip> moljac024: maybe it just needed reseating, you can reseat those fans easy enough
[11:09] <moljac024> hmm
[11:09] <moljac024> ok
[11:10] <sani> why can't I find the console from applications menu, like while testing with a CD?
[11:10] <moljac024> I could tru
[11:10] <moljac024> try*
[11:10] <ActionParsnip> moljac024: they can take enough stick as long as you dont throw them round or go heavy handed
[11:10] <kuthux> sani applications>accessories>terminal
[11:10] <moljac024> yea, i figured that
[11:10] <moljac024> thanks for your help ActionParsnip
[11:11] <ActionParsnip> sani: you could right click desktop -> run command and type terminal
[11:11] <ActionParsnip> moljac024: np man
[11:11] <Tyrath> how do you launch chatzilla from terminal?
[11:11] <moljac024> you type chatzilla ?

[11:15] <Tyrath> sweet, thanks for the tip
[11:15] <moljac024> ?
[11:15] <Tyrath> oh another thing
[11:15] <Tyrath> regarding openoffice
[11:15] <diskin> hi guys, if my system freeze (nothing works, even keyboard lights do not switch), and after reboot I see nothing in kern.log, it indicates a hardware problem?
[11:15] <ActionParsnip> moljac024: yeah, -a hooses an application to start on loadup
[11:15] <Tyrath> does the latest version work on ubuntu
[11:15] <kelli> ActionParsnip,  when i went to full screen
[11:15] <moljac024> Tyrath: try weechat
[11:15] <Tyrath> cause when i sudo apt-get upgrade it won't update
[11:16] <moljac024> :)
[11:16] <sani> ActionParsnip it say's about missing target file?
[11:16] <ActionParsnip> kelli: fire up add / remove programs and install win32codecs
[11:16] <kelvin911> Tyrath: what a dumb question
[11:16] <sani> when I did about mozilla backup
[11:16] <Tyrath> kelvin911: how so?
[11:16] <kelli> ActionParsnip, ok
[11:16] <Flannel> Tyrath: You won't get OOo 3 in Hardy, no.  Versions of software are more or less going to stay the way they started each release
[11:17] <kelvin911> why do u need the newest version?
[11:17] <ActionParsnip> kelli: mplayer -fs /path/to/file.flv
[11:17] <kelvin911> i found them all the same really
[11:17] <moljac024> Over here at Arch, we're rolling OOo 3
[11:17] <moljac024> though
[11:17] <victamower> looks like I'm only using ALSA either way
[11:17]  * kuthux sleepy
[11:18] <ActionParsnip> victamower: i prefer alsa, it just works for me
[11:18] <victamower> I'm not bothered, just looking for a way to swap left and right stereo channels.. and I've found a pulseaudio way and an Alsa way
[11:18] <Tyrath> thanks for the help
[11:18] <kelvin911> pulseaudio dont work here
[11:18] <kelvin911> i stick with alsa
[11:18] <kelli> ActionParsnip, cant find win32codes
[11:18] <kelvin911> codec?
[11:19] <kelvin911> w32codec or win32codec
[11:19] <Neaai> I have a dual boot system, with debian on /dev/hda2 and ubuntu in /dev/hdb1.  GRUB is installed in /dev/hda.  Each os puts its kernel in it's own root partition's /boot.  Is there any way to have GRUB detect the other partition's kernels and put those entries in the menu.lst correctly?
[11:19] <ActionParsnip> kelli: try searching for codec
[11:19] <Flannel> !medibuntu | kelli
[11:19] <sani> ActionParsnip: When I did sudo tar -jxvf firefox-3.0.tar.bz2 -C /opt to the console thing, it asks for password
[11:19] <victamower> I think it's all working now, thanks
[11:20] <ActionParsnip> sani: yeah as you are running sudo
[11:20] <ActionParsnip> sani: type your login password
[11:20] <kuthux> Neaai: maybe u should update the grub config. which one is the default boot now ?
[11:20] <sani> can't type, do I have to press enter first?
[11:20] <ActionParsnip> sani: why are you doing it that way, firefox is in the repos
[11:20] <sani> huh
[11:20] <sani> :D
[11:20] <ActionParsnip> sani: the password entry is hidden
[11:20] <sani> how then?
[11:20] <bimberi> sani: it won't echo the password as you type it
[11:20] <Flannel> sani: What version of Ubuntu are you usin?
[11:20] <ActionParsnip> sani: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get -y install firefox-3.0
[11:21] <kelli> Flannel, thanks
[11:21] <sani> Flannel: 6.06
[11:21] <kuthux> sudo grub > Neaai
[11:21] <Flannel> sani: You should consider upgrading to 8.04
[11:21] <diskin> hi guys, if my system freeze (nothing works, even keyboard lights do not switch), and after reboot I see nothing in kern.log, it indicates a hardware problem?
[11:21] <moljac024> sani: really
[11:21] <moljac024> you should upgrade
[11:21] <sani> I've downloaded it on this PC (linux pc next to me) but boot disc failed a bit
[11:21] <Flannel> sani: You can upgrade in place, actually.
[11:21] <Flannel> moljac024: Please be helpful.
[11:22] <moljac024> advising someone to upgrade is not helpful ?
[11:22] <dragonlaw> hello, i have a problem with my college wireless network. I can connect to the wireless network and enter the college intranet, but I cannot connect to the internet. When I use XP I can connect to the internet. Is there any configuration that I have to do?
[11:22] <Flannel> moljac024: The manner in which you're participating in this channel isn't as helpful as it could be, no.
[11:22] <dragonlaw> thanks
[11:22] <kelli> ubottu, having problems watching movies in full screen
[11:22] <kuthux> find /boot/grub/stage1
[11:23] <moljac024> Flannel: I'm sorry
[11:23] <moljac024> I will try to do my best
[11:23] <ActionParsnip> dragonlaw: can you ping URLs? Can you ping IPs of websites
[11:23] <sani> Flannel: what do you mean with upgrade in place? No need to download the newer version?
[11:23] <kelvin911> ubot is a bot
[11:23] <Flannel> moljac024: Much appreciated
[11:23] <Neaai> kuthux: Currently I'm in the ubuntu boot. the idea is that when I install grub, it puts ok it's own part but doesn't see there's another system and another /boot directory with other kernels at the /dev/hda2. Can I have ubuntu's grub detect the debian entries too so I can boot into any of them?
[11:23] <daouda> daouda
[11:23] <Flannel> sani: You can upgrade through the package manager, you don't need to reinstall or anything.
[11:23] <ActionParsnip> dragonlaw: try http://209.18.41.80
[11:23] <dragonlaw> no the websites dont come on when i ping it
[11:23] <N1ckR> Interesting, just spent ages trying to get my hdd on my laptop to powerdown... turns out that for my drive the APM setting in hdparm actually overrides the spindown time setting !
[11:23] <Flannel> sani: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardyUpgrades#Upgrade%20from%206.06%20LTS%20to%208.04%20LTS
[11:24] <ActionParsnip> dragonlaw: did the link i give you bring up www.ask.com?
[11:24] <kelvin911> kelli: what problem u have there?
[11:24] <kuthux> Neaai: is grub also installed on debian ?
[11:24] <kelvin911> kelli: did u try vlc?
[11:24] <dragonlaw> no
[11:24] <Neaai> kuthux: yes.
[11:24] <ActionParsnip> dragonlaw: if you ping names do they resolve to IPs?
[11:24] <moljac024> does upgrading without a fresh reinstall work without much hassle in Ubuntu now ?
[11:25] <dragonlaw> the college wifi should bring me to an authentication website - i need to provide my username and password
[11:25] <dragonlaw> but it cant connect
[11:25] <kelvin911> moljac024: last time i upgrade, fonts, sounds are mess up
[11:25] <ActionParsnip> dragonlaw: maybe it doesnt like your browser
[11:25] <ActionParsnip> dragonlaw: maybe its an IE only thing
[11:25] <dragonlaw> er no i use firefox for xp and i can connect to the wireless
[11:25] <kuthux> Neaai: sudo grub
[11:26] <kuthux> Neaai find /boot/grub/stage1
[11:26] <ActionParsnip> dragonlaw: ok
[11:26] <ActionParsnip> dragonlaw: then ask your admins
[11:27] <dragonlaw> ok thanks then
[11:27] <Jonesy22> :)

[11:29] <Flannel> grill: 8.10 you mean?  the 30th
[11:29] <sani> Flannel: When I tried to open update-manager, it says only one package manager is allowed to be opened. How can I be sure / close the others, since I just rebooted the PC there can't be anything opened :S

[11:31] <ActionParsnip> diskin: try a different driver
[11:31] <Flannel> !ru | veles
[11:31] <aaron_> a few days I asked what is a good accounting program....I said gnu cash was not....I was wrong....after learning about it with the tutorials....it a pretty neat program....
[11:31] <ActionParsnip> diskin: or replace
[11:31] <veles> ïàñèá
[11:32] <sani> moljac024, when I tried to open the update thing at background, it also says that something else is turned on same time :D
[11:32] <Mihamina1> Hi all
[11:33] <moljac024> so close it :)
[11:33] <drowner> hi Mihamina1
[11:33] <sani> no button for that. :/
[11:33] <moljac024> did you open
[11:33] <diskin> ActionParsnip, for example, which driver? The system worked fine with current drivers.. It started to freee periodically after I replaced power source.
[11:33] <sani> I didn't open anything
[11:33] <moljac024> the package manager
[11:33] <sani> just the update-manager
[11:34] <sani> when I try to install the updates at background, it gives error, E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure' blabla.
[11:34] <sani> shall I try to run that script?
[11:34] <ActionParsnip> diskin: try a memory test, there is an entry for one in grub
[11:35] <moljac024> sani: well, go ahead
[11:35] <ActionParsnip> sani: yep, its telling you how to fix it
[11:35] <sani> :D
[11:35] <diskin> ActionParsnip, thanks, it's a good idea. I will try next time.

[11:50] <Lareth> I want to setup my apache2 to be able to use the Public folder of my user account
[11:50] <ActionParsnip> i always laugh when people thank ubottu
[11:50] <ActionParsnip> Lareth: use a symlink
[11:50] <ortsvorsteher> why not be friendly to ubottu? :D
[11:51] <ActionParsnip> he doesnt care
[11:51] <ActionParsnip> he loves coffee too much
[11:51] <ActionParsnip> !coffee | ortsvorsteher
[11:51] <ortsvorsteher> :) ActionParsnip
[11:51] <Lareth> ActionParsnip: How would I do that?
[11:52] <ActionParsnip> Lareth: i the apache2 start folder use: ln -s /path/to/folder
[11:53] <sani> ActionParsnip, what means: Enable the "dapper-updates" repository.
[11:53] <ActionParsnip> Lareth: that will make a link to the data and will be accessible as if the data is in both places, but its only stored once
[11:53] <ActionParsnip> sani: not sure, give it a websearch see what you find
[11:54] <Lareth> ActionParsnip: I remember that you need to add some things in the httpd.conf
[11:55] <ActionParsnip> Lareth: if it can be done that way then cool
[11:55] <ActionParsnip> Lareth: man httpd.conf
[11:55] <Lareth> ok
[11:55] <ljsoftnet> how can i upgrade nautilus?

[11:57] <ikonia> nawb uuid is the norm now
[11:57] <nawb> uuid, thanks.. didn't recall the name for that id :)
[11:58] <ActionParsnip> ljsoftnet: sudo apt-get install nautilus will upgrade it (and only nautilus) if there is a newer version on the repos

[12:31] <farciarz84> nope

[12:32] <farciarz84> excecally
[12:33] <Opr8iVe> MarkRichman, Mines at /usr/lib/ssl/misc/CA.pl
[12:33] <MarkRichman> Opr8iVe: thanks
[12:33] <kuthux> i don't know if this work, but maybe screen buffer can be read to search some text
[12:33] <Opr8iVe> MarkRichman, next time, try locate CA.pl at a prompt, It may be faster :)
[12:33] <MarkRichman> Opr8iVe: i didn't have slocate installed...but i do now ;)
[12:33] <Opr8iVe> er, the command "locate"
[12:34] <Opr8iVe> Ah.. Cool beans
[12:35] <Opr8iVe> Wow.. Being in this channel kinda makes me feel like Im not a know-nothing noob.. (even tho I am)
[12:35] <kuthux> farciarz84: in certain apps we can do that
[12:36] <kuthux> farciarz84: such as in vi , elinks, or less
[12:37] <kuthux> farciarz84: i usually press / then enter phrase, and it's highlited
[12:37] <farciarz84> but i mean no text-editor or browser but raw console output
[12:37] <farciarz84> ok
[12:37] <kuthux> i see, maybe u should export the raw output first :D
[12:38] <farciarz84> then it not be so quick
[12:38] <Paymox> Is it only me or does the CPU FAN sound more/work more in ubuntu than windows?
[12:38] <farciarz84> maybe there is some ubuntu-shortcut to go for searching that

[13:07] <Anarchid> So, here's a question: I've managed to thrash my dependency tree by installing a newer version of libc6. Now, the system refuses to install any new packages until it's fixed, and synaptic offers to "fix" it by uninstalling six broken packages. And everything else that depends on those: that means *everything else*. How do i fix meself without levelling and reinstalling?

[13:19] <morningwalker> !putty
[13:19] <LjjjL> bhindi: please type /msg ubottu etiquette, and learn how to be a proper netizen of this channel
[13:19] <LjjjL> bhindi: as for your question, why do you want to change the IP in the first place? aren't you on DHCP?
[13:20] <jasunto> anyone know how to check the status of a download that is using wget but is in background
[13:20] <bhindi> for megashare download sir
[13:20] <jrib> stpere: yes, happens to me too.  You can file a bug at launchpad.net against the website, but I'm sure it should be fixed soon enough
[13:20] <LjjjL> bhindi: sorry, i'm not sure i see how megashare download has anything to do with your IP
[13:20] <bhindi> oks thanxs
[13:21] <bhindi> 4 giving me information
[13:21] <bhindi> i think u dont know
[13:21] <the_lost_one> jasunto, it migth have created a logfile
[13:21] <jasunto> anyway to check wget download progress when it is running in background
[13:21] <jasunto> oh
[13:21] <jasunto> no way to make it back like when i first typed command?
[13:22] <LjjjL> jasunto: how did you put it into the background?
[13:22] <jasunto> with percent and the bar
[13:22] <jrib> jasunto: check -b in the man page.  Depending on how you put it in the background, it says it will write to "wget-log"
[13:22] <greensun> gvfs-open is an application
[13:22] <jrib> !who | greensun
[13:22] <jasunto> i ssh'ed into computer at home and did wget on a file and disconnected, now i ssh'ed back in adn want to see progress
[13:22] <LjjjL> if my neighbors are using wifi channels 1, 6 and 11 (and 5 with very weak signal), is there any preferred channel i'd best put my own network on?
[13:22] <jrib> jasunto: are you sure wget is still even running?
[13:23] <greensun> i want to open a file or folder wat command do i use
[13:23] <jrib> greensun: I told you the command.  Is that not what you wanted?
[13:23] <LjjjL> greensun: i think i told you. gnome-open.
[13:23] <elvis123> on my installation i want to change my "Use as:" to "physical volume for RAID" but it is not listed. installing Ubuntu 8.04.1 amd64 server. why is it not showing
[13:24] <mkhlnsh> hi. does anyone know what is this message from Tiger? i really don't gett it... did it read that password? the password has UTF8 chars, is this unusual? --FAIL-- [pass009f] Login user1 has an unusual password content
[13:24] <jrib> LjjjL: gnome-open is broken in 8.04, gvfs-open does the right thing
[13:24] <IdleOne> LjjjL: trial and error I would assume till you get the best connection
[13:24] <coopster> I am running Hardy and have Matlab installed.  After I installed matlab i removed a NIC from my machine (it has two).  Matlab locks the license for the program to the MAC of eth0.  I am using hwaddr in ifconfig to set the MAC of eth1 to be the same as what eth0 used to be, but how can i configure ubuntu to stop naming the interface eth1?  There is no eth0 in this machine anymore.
[13:24] <jrib> mkhlnsh: what is Tiger?
[13:24] <jasunto> yes i checked processes
[13:24] <LjjjL> jrib: how broken?
[13:24] <greensun> gnome-open ask for url
[13:25] <greensun> how do i go about the url
[13:25] <jrib> greensun: do you just want to open the current directory in the File Browser?
[13:25] <jrib> LjjjL: doesn't respect your default apps
[13:25] <greensun> yes
[13:25] <LjjjL> greensun: ... yes, you said that before. and i told you that, yes, it isn't a mindreader, you DO have to provide the FILENAME that you want opened
[13:25] <mkhlnsh> jrib, it's an automatic security auditor. http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/tiger
[13:25] <RazorsKiss> sahweet - installing ubuntu alternate from an ISO, after downloading the iso to another partition through a puppy install :D
[13:25] <jrib> greensun: nautilus .
[13:25] <rage> Hey, whats a command I can pipe some input through to take multiple lines onto one line seperated by spaces?
[13:25] <greensun> it is on my desktop
[13:25] <jrib> mkhlnsh: are you using intrepid then?
[13:25] <jasunto> ps -aef shows wget http://theurl.com
[13:25] <RazorsKiss> one of the weirdest OS installs I've ever done :D
[13:26] <rage> e.g "input\nwith\nnew\nlines" | command | "input with new lines"
[13:26] <mkhlnsh> jrib, yes...
[13:26] <greensun> i have a file on my desktop i want to open
[13:26] <jrib> rage: tr maybe?
[13:26] <jrib> mkhlnsh: #ubuntu+1 for help with intrepid
[13:26] <ikonia> greensun open nautilus, browse tot he file
[13:26] <ikonia> to the file
[13:26] <LjjjL> jrib: uhm gvfs-open isn't provided by default though is it?
[13:27] <TuniX12> greensun: with an extension?
[13:27] <jrib> jasunto: did you check for wget-log?  If it's not there then I suggest you just check the file size of the file it is downloading to get an idea of how far along it is
[13:27] <greensun> is there a command that can open it just by typing it
[13:27] <greensun> yes
[13:27] <jrib> LjjjL: right
[13:27] <greensun> it is txt
[13:27] <jasunto> not sure where log is stored
[13:27] <LjjjL> greensun: NO, because it CAN'T KNOW what you want to open, why do you think your computer can ever read your mind?
[13:27] <TuniX12> greensun: just doubli-click it
[13:27] <jrib> jasunto: would be in the directory you ran wget from I guess
[13:28] <greensun> i try gnome-open the file name and the extension
[13:28] <defrysk> greensun: maybe you should install mc
[13:28] <LjjjL> greensun: and what happened?
[13:28] <the_lost_one> jasunto, then wget is doing is job, you can kill the PID of wget and start again resuming the download with -c
[13:28] <ikonia> LjjjL: what is teh issue with using nautilus to browse to the file?
[13:29] <LjjjL> ikonia: i don't know, ask him, he wanted a "command"
[13:29] <IdleOne> why not use gedit file
[13:29] <jim_p> idefix: are you still there?
[13:29] <defrysk> nautilus /path/to/file
[13:29] <ikonia> LjjjL he keeps ignoring the question, so I thought i'd ask the organ grinder
[13:29] <TuniX12> ikonia LjjjL he sais its a text file in the desktop
[13:29] <LjjjL> greensun: i can't accept DCC CHATs. please talk in the channel.
[13:30] <ikonia> greensun what is the issue with opening nautilus and browsing to the file
[13:30] <IdleOne> greensun: if you want us to help you need to help us a little also.
[13:30]  * defrysk senses a troll
[13:31] <LjjjL> is there any way to check how long a laptop has been running since last being disconnected from AC?
[13:31] <IdleOne> defrysk: prolly just a noob
[13:31] <ikonia> LjjjL normally hover over teh battery icon
[13:31] <ikonia> LjjjL: normally says running on batter for X minutes %83 remaining
[13:31] <TuniX12> greensun: you have a file with .txt extension cant you open it or find it??
[13:31] <LjjjL> ikonia: it just tells me how long it remains
[13:32] <ikonia> LjjjL ahh, darn

[13:32] <greensun> LjjjL:i typed the file name but it did not work it.ask  for the  The location or file could not be found.
[13:33] <ikonia> greensun what is the issue with using nautilus to browse tot he file
[13:33] <ikonia> greensun: why is this not an option for you ?
[13:33] <LjjjL> the_lost_one: i could write a script to do it, sure, just wondering if there was anything in /proc or whatever
[13:33] <Rovin> I got this: "Your computer failed to suspend" :(
[13:33] <kulfi> i've installed ubuntu server, how do i check if i'm running a DNS server?
[13:33] <greensun> i do not want it

[13:34] <serene> hi , is there any way to convert a rpm package to debian package on fedora system ( i am new to ubuntu pls can anyone help me )
[13:34] <jonathan_> iemand wat voor een stable?
[13:34] <greensun> if i can ope  the file with  a command i must be able to do that
[13:34] <LjjjL> !nl | jonathan_
[13:34] <CrazY-GeeK> hi
[13:34] <jrib> serene: it's usually better to find a proper debian package.  What software is this for?
[13:34] <ikonia> greensun: what is the issue ? that way you can see the file is there
[13:34] <IdleOne> greensun: ok where is the file located?
[13:34] <LjjjL> greensun: and you can. gnome-open filename   (or gvfs-open filename since apparently gnome-open is a bit broken)
[13:34] <greensun> on my desktop
[13:35] <defrysk> serene: ask in #fedora
[13:35] <LjjjL> greensun: if it says the location is not found, then you're typing the pathname and filename wrong.
[13:35] <ikonia> greensun browse to it an open it through nautlius to see if there is a problem
[13:35] <TuniX12> greensun: linux is case-sensitive remember
[13:35] <IdleOne> greensun: type this in terminal, cd Desktop
[13:35] <the_lost_one> serene, if you cant find any deb, then try alien
[13:35] <jim_p> idefix: are you still there?
[13:35] <greensun> ok
[13:35] <defrysk> the_lost_one: he is on a fedora system
[13:36] <jim_p> serene: dont try the alien rpm solution, compile the code to a .deb package
[13:36] <IdleOne> greensun: now type ls ( tell me if you see the file listed )
[13:36] <the_lost_one> defrysk, and that means he cant install alien?
[13:36] <defrysk> the_lost_one: it means its a fedora question imo
[13:37] <the_lost_one> defrysk, ah :)
[13:37] <scuser> hi all, can anyone tell me what are the available SASL_MECH options in the ldap.conf file ?
[13:37] <defrysk> ;p
[13:37] <greensun>  No such file or directory
[13:37] <LjjjL> greensun: what did you type?
[13:37] <serene> jim_p :- how do i do tat
[13:37] <serene> i didn't get u
[13:37] <serene> can u be more clear pls
[13:37] <IdleOne> greensun: show us what you typed please
[13:38] <jim_p> serene: use checkinstall
[13:38] <defrysk> checkinstall is handy dandy
[13:39] <greensun>  gnome-open New Text Document.txt
[13:39] <TuniX12> greensun: open Terminal and type cd Desktop then type ls what do you see?
[13:39] <jim_p> defrysk: i prefer checkinstall and sompiling from installing an rpm ugly thing
[13:39] <LjjjL> greensun: i think you were asked to type "cd Desktop" now.
[13:39] <LjjjL> greensun: although i suggest you type "cd ~/Desktop" instead
[13:39] <defrysk> jim_p: I agree
[13:39] <greensun> i did
[13:39] <LjjjL> greensun: then, you were asked to type "ls"
[13:39] <IdleOne> greensun: you did what
[13:39] <the_lost_one> jim_p, never tryed checkinstall
[13:40] <greensun> and it changed
[13:40] <TuniX12> ?
[13:40] <kulfi> thanks ikonia. my network is getting confused whether to use the ubuntu DNS or my ISPs. i'd only like to use it with local IPs (e.g. 192.168.0.4 --> sandbox.local). is this possible?
[13:40] <jim_p> the_lost_one: i have tried it a LOT recently
[13:40] <kulfi> or should i disabled ubuntu's DNS?
[13:40] <IdleOne> greensun: it is very frustrating trying to help you when you dont answer us and when you are not clear with your answers
[13:40] <the_lost_one> jim_p, thank's i'll try it :)
[13:40] <LjjjL> greensun: anyway, you can't type filenames containing spaces like that. type      gnome-open New    then hit the TAB key.
[13:41] <greensun> ok
[13:41] <greensun> i  am trying
[13:41]  * defrysk lacks patience and respects the patient ones big time
[13:42] <serene> jim_p : what does checkinstall do
[13:42] <jim_p> serene: checkinstall makes a .deb file from the source code
[13:42] <LjjjL> !info checkinstall | serene
[13:42] <greensun> thanks all who help me it did work
[13:43] <defrysk> serene: run checkinstall instead of make install and you get a .deb for personal usage
[13:43] <LjjjL> serene: "apt-cache show checkinstall" will give you a longer description of it. that works for all packages.
[13:43] <LjjjL> greensun: it could have worked 10 minutes ago, if you had answered our questions as asked. still, cheers.
[13:43] <kulfi> any advice whether i can use DNS to resolve just local IPs? currently other PCs on the network sporadically get confused when trying to browse to external websites
[13:43]  * IdleOne gives LjjjL ikonia defrysk a cookie each
[13:44] <sam__> samam31
[13:44] <defrysk> !botsnack
[13:44] <IdleOne> sam__: /nick samam31
[13:44] <LjjjL> kulfi: sorry, i didn't get you. you want a DNS server that *only* resolves local IPs?
[13:45] <kulfi> LjjL. yes, i'd like to set up a sandbox server, and browse to http://sandbox.local from other PCs
[13:45] <KDB9000> I have 2 wifi cards. one of them is internal and the other is USB external. How can I make it so the USB wireless doesn't connect to any wireless but I can still use it with a program (like kismet)?
[13:45] <kulfi> LjjjL ^^
[13:45] <thomasite> Hi. Can anyone please tell me what command(s) to issue at the terminal so that I could know what graphics card my laptop has? Thanks.
[13:45] <the_lost_one> kulfi, maybe you need to tweak /etc/hosts ?
[13:45] <jim_p> i am thinking of making a local repo for rare packages! like wbar and whatever does come in a .deb, its free and it is not in a repo
[13:45] <kulfi> the_lost_one, and disable DNS?
[13:45] <d_ea> hy,,,,,,,,,,

[13:46] <smm289> what would be a good program to wipe clean a hard-drive.  Fill it with zero's or some other method for a secure cleaning.  Using Hardy
[13:46] <IdleOne> kekeku: not in here please
[13:46] <defrysk> kekeku: stop that please
[13:46] <kulfi> the_lost_one, was that for me (kulfi)?
[13:46] <the_lost_one> ops, soory i mean kulfi
[13:46] <kulfi> thanks :)
[13:46] <kekeku> sorry, i just tested
[13:47] <IdleOne> kekeku: test in #testing
[13:47] <the_lost_one> kulfi, np :)
[13:47] <jim_p> smm289: dd ! dd if=/dev/null of=/dev/sda
[13:47] <sap> ok
[13:47] <sap> well
[13:47] <smm289> Jim_p: do you know a program with a GUI front-end
[13:47] <kulfi> the_lost_one, dns is checked in second state by other PCs on the network, or just the ubuntu instance>
[13:48] <the_lost_one> kulfi, of course, just ubuntu box
[13:48] <kulfi> the_lost_one, ok it's the other network PCs that are getting confused. sounds like i should disabled DNS on the ubuntu server
[13:48] <jim_p> smm289: no :(
[13:49] <the_lost_one> kulfi, but, whats exactly the issue?
[13:49] <pindakaas117> when will the latest version of pidgin be released in the ubuntu repository?
[13:49] <sap> i just added mediabuntu using the line wget -q http://packages.medibuntu.org/medibuntu-key.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add - & sudo wget http://medibuntu.sos-sts.com/sources.list.d/feisty.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list and now my add/remove programs update and other software sources are not working how do i remove these sources
[13:49] <sap> any help pls
[13:50] <kulfi> the_lost_one - i'd like to browse to http://sandbox.local, and also not have other network PCs confused (as the currently, sporadically are) when trying to browse to external websites
[13:50] <jim_p> brb guys
[13:50] <IdleOne> sap edit /etc/apt/sources.list
[13:50] <jrib> sap: you are using outdated instructions.
[13:50] <kulfi> i'm guessing the confusion is due to multiple DNS servers (ubuntu and my ISP)
[13:50] <jrib> !medibuntu > sap
[13:50] <greensun> sorry friends but i chanhed the name and it will not open again
[13:51] <LjjjL> kulfi: well you can most certainly install a dns server and tell it to not look up anything on higher-tier dns servers. i use "dnsmasq", which is relatively simple to configure... i use it as a dns cacher, but i guess it can do what you want if you just don't give it any dns addresses (and instead, put in a list of local addresses yourself)
[13:51] <LjjjL> kulfi: typing "apt-cache search dns server" will provide a lot of alternatives to that, though. some of them claims to be "small" or "lightweight", for what is worth.
[13:51] <sap> yes i get that but now how do i remove the sources so i can then add the correct ones
[13:51] <the_lost_one> kulfi, then you have a dns server in ubuntu and this one is used to resolve names by the rest of boxes?
[13:51] <IdleOne> sap: gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
[13:51] <jrib> sap: sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list
[13:52] <matteus_matteus8> ciao ragazzi
[13:52] <LjjjL> greensun: well, of course you'll now have to type the command using the new name. what is it, by the way?
[13:52] <LjjjL> !it | matteus_matteus8
[13:52] <kulfi> thanks LjjjL, i'll try that. the_lost_one, yes that is the current set up.
[13:52] <sap> thanks IdleOne  jrib ubottu
[13:52] <pindakaas117> when will the latest version of pidgin be released in the ubuntu repository?
[13:52] <MuelleJ> A software package I am trying to install is requiring libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3, can I install the libstdc++-libc6.2-2 package from gutsy in hardy?
[13:52] <LjjjL> kulfi: but then you *do* want to resolve external names...? the solution i gave you will *not* allow you to resolve anything but stuff you put in mannually
[13:52] <TuniX12> sap ubottu is a bot :p
[13:53] <IdleOne> sap: jrib's way is faster my way lets you look and see what you are doing. both work
[13:53] <LjjjL> MuelleJ: no. absolutely not.

[13:53] <BlueEagle> pindakaas117: Software is added/upgraded in the repository after it's been tested.
[13:53] <LjjjL> MuelleJ: what package are you trying to install?
[13:53] <pindakaas117> k thanks BlueEagle
[13:53] <kulfi> LjjjL, yes, i'd like to be able to visit http://google.com, and http://sandbox.local
[13:53] <smm289> I just installed a program using synaptic, but im not sure how to run it, or were the command was installed
[13:53] <sap> thanks anyway all of u
[13:54] <BlueEagle> pindakaas117: You can always "roll your own" from source if you need the newest features, but when you're on the cutting edge you must be prepared to bleed some.
[13:54] <kulfi> i'm going to turn DNS off for now, and try editing hosts to see what happends
[13:54] <sap> and damn i am such a noob in this
[13:54] <cabrioleur> re
[13:54] <MuelleJ> LjjjL, BackupExec. I downloaded the installer from Symantec and used alien to convert the RPM to DEB and it installed, but now when I run it wants libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3. I had it running under Gutsy since there was a package, but now I set up a new server with Hardy.

[13:54] <macvr> hi all... i'm trying o edit the LCDDisplayCapsSSi font using fontforge bu when i save the font it becomes unreadable?the font viewer doesnt recognize it! any ideas?
[13:55] <LjjjL> MuelleJ: converting .rpm to .deb is a bad idea in and of itself. changing the version of core system libraries is an idea that will invariably result in non-recoverable system breakage.
[13:55] <LjjjL> MuelleJ: there are several free backup solutions available in the ubuntu repositories, have you considered using them?
[13:55] <pindakaas117> BlueEagle: I already found the source code on their site I will have a look at it
[13:55] <MuelleJ> LjjjL, some things you just have to do. We use BackupExec at work.
[13:55] <BlueEagle> pindakaas117: Read the link from ubottu for tips on compiling packages from source. :)
[13:55] <the_lost_one> kulfi, ok, then you must configure in your dns server sandbox.local.com to the IP where its stored
[13:55] <greensun> i want to add a printer over the network
[13:56] <pindakaas117> BlueEagle: thanks^^
[13:56] <the_lost_one> kulfi, or write sandbox.local in every hosts file of your boxes
[13:56] <BlueEagle> greensun: Does the printer have a dedicated NIC or is it shared trough samba (windows sharing)?
[13:56] <greensun> the printer is a network printer
[13:57] <kulfi> the_lost_one, i see, the clients' hosts files need to know where to find http://sandbox.local, w/o DNS the server can't do that
[13:57] <greensun> it it samba

[13:58] <Lareth> when I do 'sudo apache2ctl restart' I get apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.1.1 for ServerName
[13:58] <the_lost_one> kulfi, try it with one client
[13:58] <ikonia> Lareth you need to put a FQDN into the ServerName directive in the apache2.conf
[13:58] <BlueEagle> greensun: The last link from ubottu should probably help.
[13:58] <kulfi> thanks the_lost_one, LjjjL
[13:58] <Lareth> ikonia: how do you do that?
[13:59] <ikonia> Lareth open it with a text editor and put in the FQDN
[13:59] <LjjjL> MuelleJ: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=186128 there is this thread about it. please, try *anything* you can to avoid having to change versions of system libraries
[13:59] <scientus> dont debate me on merit, how do i give root a passwor without allowing root logins?
[13:59] <Lareth> ikonia: what is the FQDN?
[13:59] <the_lost_one> kulfi, no prob :)
[13:59] <ikonia> fully Qualified Domain Name
[13:59] <scientus> set root shell to /dev/null?
[14:00] <the_lost_one> scientus, changing the shell of root in /etc/passwd ?
[14:00] <ikonia> scientus: what ?
[14:00] <scientus> or blank?
[14:00] <TuniX12> scientus: there is no standard root login under ubuntu
[14:00] <scientus> give root a password withot enabling the account
[14:00] <ikonia> scientus: what are you talking about ?
[14:00] <LjjjL> scientus: err, i won't debate on merits, but why would you give it a password if you'd still be unable to login with it?
[14:00] <scientus> having a diff sudo passwd from regular passwd
[14:00] <TuniX12> scientus: you have sudo command
[14:00] <scientus> by giving root a passwd
[14:01] <ikonia> scientus sudo is based on your user password
[14:01] <scientus> but it can be changed
[14:01] <TuniX12> scientus: you shoul enable root account first
[14:01] <bastid_raZor> scientus; you could add the user to admin group
[14:01] <LjjjL> scientus: sudo passwd root
[14:01] <ikonia> scientus: you can change your own password yes,
[14:01] <BlueEagle> scientus: I do not see any reason to do this, but setting the shell to /dev/null will disallow any shell based login (local and ssh) but you may open a can of worms if you allow root to log in trough ftp.
[14:01] <scientus> noo ftp, i use samba or ssh
[14:01] <swuboo>  ikonia:  I think he knows that, but he wants the password used for login and the password used for sudo to be different.  Probably because other people use his account, but he doesn't want to give them root access.  My guess, anyway.
[14:02] <ikonia> scientus: well samba there is no need for root login
[14:02] <scientus> no dpnt want to type in a long passwor to gain root
[14:02] <ikonia> scientus: your not making any sense
[14:02] <BlueEagle> scientus: Then I see no reason to define a root password tbh.
[14:02] <scientus> then i do 310 on /bin/su
[14:02] <swuboo> Ah, or that.  That makes sense, too, I guess.  So you want a long password to increase the security of SSH, but a short password for sudo to make it more convenient?
[14:02] <axel_s> hi, I'm not sure of which FS to use with my new Ubuntu installation... Does anybody know good benchmarks, tests, experiences?
[14:02] <LjjjL> scientus: you could also use an entirely different solution, i think
[14:03] <ikonia> scientus: 310 ???
[14:03] <LjjjL> scientus: type "man sudoers" and search for "runaspw"
[14:03] <scientus> i specify exactally who can run su
[14:03] <ikonia> scientus su isn't needed
[14:03] <ikonia> scientus: it doesn't matter who can run it if they don't know the password
[14:03] <LjjjL> scientus: why would you use su?
[14:04] <scientus> well befor it was log in as someone else then su to real user
[14:04] <scientus> but i dont like that
[14:04] <greensun> i am on a network i want to be able to view other desktop how do i do that
[14:04] <TuniX12> axel_s: ext3 : compromise between stability and performance
[14:04] <LjjjL> scientus, if you want a root shell, you just type "sudo -i"
[14:04] <scientus> so i need to give my real user a tough password
[14:04] <ikonia> scientus: your not making any sense at all
[14:04] <MuelleJ> !vnc | greensun
[14:04] <scientus> *******i want a differnt sudo password from log in password(*****
[14:04] <scientus> thats it
[14:04] <ikonia> scientus: why ?
[14:05] <LjjjL> scientus: i told you. "man sudoers" and search for the "runaspw" option.
[14:05] <LjjjL> that's just what you asked for.
[14:05] <ikonia> why make 2 different users, or setup sudoes to not proompt your user as a password
[14:05] <axel_s> TuniX12, what about XFS? Seems to have very good features and performance
[14:05] <ikonia> axel_s: the average hoem user will not notice the differences in file system performance
[14:05] <ikonia> home user
[14:06] <TuniX12> axel_s: yes for very large volumes
[14:06] <TuniX12> axel_s: home user does not need that
[14:06] <Lilinallte> define 'very large'
[14:06] <BlueEagle> axel_s: If I remember correctly XFS is very very prone to corrupting data in case of an unclean mount.
[14:07] <the_lost_one> petabytes
[14:07] <ikonia> the_lost_one thats not when XFS becomes "good"

[14:07] <ATA_Dark_Shadow> greetings, is there a way to disable hash sum check in apt-get ?
[14:08] <LjjjL> ATA_Dark_Shadow: uhm, that's a question that just begs a "why would you want to"
[14:09] <peterz> anybody know about runaway loop modprobe binfmt-464c when trying to boot a 64bit kernel on i386 intrepid?
[14:09] <ActionParsnip> yo yo yo
[14:09] <TuniX12> Lilinallte: for large volume XFS and JFS are better than ext
[14:09] <Pici> !ibex | peterz
[14:09] <ActionParsnip> TuniX12: why so?
[14:10] <ActionParsnip> TuniX12: and how do you define large?
[14:10] <ATA_Dark_Shadow> LjjjL on my clients the check fails, and i checked them on my local repository a step before. As the clients does need to get updated and that wont work for some reason, i figured to disable should make them work again
[14:11] <scientus> how do i set runaspw for only 1 user (mysqlf)
[14:11] <TuniX12> ActionParsnip: XFS is a 64-bit file system. It supports a maximum file system size of 8 exbibytes
[14:11] <LjjjL> ATA_Dark_Shadow: well your local repository is either set up wrong, or the checksums are failing for a valid reason (like faulty HD). i'd look for the root cause of the problem rather than just blindly disabling that
[14:11] <ActionParsnip> TuniX12: wow, nice
[14:11] <TuniX12> On 32-bit Linux systems, this limits the file and file system sizes to 16 terabytes.
[14:12] <jrib> scientus: are you just trying to make sure mysqlf can't sudo?  I never understand the usecase for runaspw
[14:12] <ActionParsnip> TuniX12: not really a limit, 16Tb is loads
[14:12] <scientus> no i want a differnt login and sudo password
[14:12] <ActionParsnip> !adduser | scientus
[14:12] <LjjjL> scientus: create another use and give it any password. give the usre /bin/false as a shell.
[14:12] <sam__> hi, looking to use squid peering to load balance two ADSL lines, don't know if its a good idea, or even the best option to distribute load over multiple internet connection and also support some basic failover
[14:12] <sam__> any ideas?
[14:13] <Piet44> when i do sudo tar cvjf /storage/dokuwiki/dokuwiki-backup-`date +%Y%m%d`.tar.bz2 /var/www/dokuwiki/conf /var/www/dokuwiki/data /var/www/dokuwiki/lib , it will be saved in the .tar.bz2 like /var/www/dokuwiki/ folders. I want to see when i open the .tar.bz2 directly the 3 folders. Someone knows how i can do that ?
[14:13] <TuniX12> ActionParsnip: XFS is more performant on veeeeery large volumes
[14:13] <cakey> rver irc.gamerzplanet.net
[14:13] <ActionParsnip> TuniX12: sounds like it. A single partition of that size is a bit impractical
[14:13] <ActionParsnip> TuniX12: imho
[14:13] <pindakaas117> wow build-dep owns
[14:13] <scientus> LjjjL, then how do i make that users passwd apply to my sudo and only my sudo?
[14:14] <axel_s> So for my two 300G disks it actually doesn't matter at all what I use?
[14:14] <axel_s> What's best for safety/stability?
[14:14] <crazyb0y> axel_s: ext3
[14:14] <ATA_Dark_Shadow> LjjjL agreed, i get the error with every repository, no proxy of some sort, read the 2 or 3 bugs containing this problem, which leads to the client setup as such, where would i look to? how would i check if possible the python libary could be wrong on that setup?
[14:14] <ActionParsnip> axel_s: id say ext3
[14:14] <jrib> axel_s: ext3 gets the most attention
[14:14] <Kajover> hey... installed ubuntu with refit on my mbp selected linux to boot but it wont boot... there is just a blinking dash for minutes
[14:14] <LjjjL> scientus: that's something "man sudoers" tells you
[14:14] <TuniX12> ActionParsnip: i mean raid
[14:14] <crazyb0y> or wait for ext4 =)
[14:15] <axel_s> Anyone with experiences with JFS?
[14:15] <KenBW2> if i were to look into developing apps for ubuntu what's the best language to go for?
[14:15] <scientus> im there LjjjL i see runaspww but dont know how to set it up onl for me,
[14:15] <LjjjL> ATA_Dark_Shadow: have you tried just clearing the archives (sudo apt-get clean) and re-downloading the bad packagse?
[14:15] <ActionParsnip> KenBW2: C, C++ i'd say
[14:15] <pindakaas117> axel_s: i got a 1TB exernal hard drive on my linux server, but it is formatted into ntfs , so I can unplug it and use it one my windows laptop when I want :)
[14:15] <TuniX12> axel_s: you really dont need that unless you have big servers
[14:16] <KenBW2> ActionParsnip: i know Js and PHP, how hard do you reckon itd be for me
[14:16] <TuniX12> with a high storage capacity
[14:16] <complexity> anyone use ipager?
[14:16] <magnetron> complexity→ do you use ipager?
[14:16] <opbit> hi, inside "Monitor resoultion settings" i see it say: "screen unknown and it set refresh rate to 50hz" how can i tell it what my screen is? (i am using dell xps 1330)
[14:16] <ActionParsnip> KenBW2: should be fine if you can code already
[14:17] <n8tuser> opbit try xdpyinfo
[14:17] <ActionParsnip> KenBW2: you can code in anything you like as long as it'll run on linux
[14:17] <complexity> magnetron, I try but I cant get it installed in ubuntooth
[14:17] <Craihhgney> could someone tell me if there's a way to run iso files on ubuntu without burning them to disk?
[14:17] <opbit> n8tuser:i ran it, but how can i tell it what my screen is? (i know the model...)
[14:17] <bastid_raZor> !iso
[14:18] <ATA_Dark_Shadow> LjjjL if im not mistake i cant get the lists of the packages to download "binary-amd64/Packages.bz2 " for example
[14:18] <n8tuser> opbit the line  #screen or display
[14:18] <ActionParsnip> Craihhgney: mount them
[14:18] <ATA_Dark_Shadow> LjjjL and yes i did apt-get clean
[14:18] <cole> hi all, does anyone know anything about rootkit hunter? im looking for some help on rkhunter log
[14:19] <opbit> n8tuser:yea, but where do i insert the changes?
[14:19] <Craihhgney> how do you mount?
[14:19] <LjjjL> scientus: no i'm sorry, i think i was mistaken and runaspw can only work globally for all users
[14:19] <bastid_raZor> !iso | Craihhgney
[14:19] <KenBW2> my borther's laptop has scroll buttons on the trackpad. Up scrolls down and Down scrolls up - how do I fix that?
[14:19] <ActionParsnip> Craihhgney: ubotuu (a bot) is telling you
[14:19] <n8tuser> opbit changes to what?  look in /etc/X11/xorg.conf ?
[14:20] <LjjjL> ATA_Dark_Shadow: then what about you pastebin the output of your "sudo apt-get update" so we can see just what it's telling you and about what repositories
[14:20] <zh> #ubuntu-cn
[14:20] <ActionParsnip> Craihhgney: you need to make an empty folder to mount to first
[14:20] <scientus> well LjjjL im the only admin right now but that not exacttly te best solution, still i dont know how to set it to some random user

[14:22] <noam_> TuniX12: thank you.
[14:22] <scientus> correct LjjjL
[14:22] <ActionParsnip> greensun: mount it but you'll need to use "s i think. Check out smbmount
[14:22] <hogdog> I'll be needing answers!
[14:23] <ActionParsnip> hogdog: everyone does
[14:23] <raytruz> is there anyway to save cron script output or redirect it to a shell session?
[14:23] <ActionParsnip> hogdog: just ask the right questions
[14:23] <hogdog> ActionParsnip ah ok. Am I allowed to rebuild my kernel, just for kicks?
[14:23] <hogdog> Or does the ubuntu GUI mafia say "NO!"?
[14:23] <hogdog> I'll be needing answers
[14:23] <ActionParsnip> hogdog: sure if you want. Without changing anything you will have the same kernel you currently have installed
[14:23] <hogdog> and i'll be needing them now
[14:24] <[ipc]-michael> can you stop formatting with enter hogdog
[14:24] <hogdog> ActionParsnip I'm strippin that puppy to the bone
[14:24] <[ipc]-michael> one line is fine
[14:24] <ActionParsnip> hogdog: then thats fine
[14:24] <ytsestef> hello
[14:24] <pindakaas117> I compiled a kernel once
[14:24] <hogdog> [ipc]-michael you would have wasted less bits by ignoring it. I had stopped
[14:24] <ActionParsnip> hogdog: its still linux, using the linux kernel
[14:24] <raytruz> Cron script output: can you save it to a file?
[14:25] <hogdog> ActionParsnip but without the cruft.
[14:25] <ActionParsnip> cruft?
[14:25] <hogdog> modules I don't need pappy
[14:25] <pindakaas117> it was done compiling so I booted it and got kernel panic
[14:25] <ActionParsnip> then compile them or find a package that provides it
[14:25] <pindakaas117> taht was awesome
[14:25] <hogdog> Yes, I know the performance enhancements are negligible, but it's fun
[14:26] <ActionParsnip> hogdog: no doubt. I personally cant be bothered as Im on computers all day
[14:26] <ytsestef> any ideas why my creative webcam doesn't work anymore in intrepid ibex? it used to work fine in hardy.
[14:26] <ActionParsnip> its my job to use computers lots so i just want an easy life
[14:26] <ActionParsnip> !intrepid | ytsestef
[14:26] <[ipc]-michael> @hogdog, you seem to be trolling. anyone with appropriate knowledge of linux and its kernel should know it possible to strip or recompile at will. if you need those types of answers Google may be your best friend. In short - yes, you're free to do what you please with the condition of your kernel running on your machine. but you already know that....
[14:26] <serene> how to build alien( pls can anyone tel me the  steps to build alien frm source)
[14:27] <ytsestef> oh, sorry!
[14:27] <hogdog> ActionParsnip I'm over building kernels. I was just asking. I too am a big man who works with computers and such
[14:27] <[ipc]-michael> thre are people here in need of real help
[14:27] <ActionParsnip> serene: go to the alien website, download the sourcecode and compile
[14:27] <hogdog> [ipc]-michael officious prick
[14:27] <serene> hmm i need the compiling steps
[14:27] <[ipc]-michael> hogdog - ignored troll...
[14:27] <hogdog> [ipc]-michael it's ppl like you that turn others off ubuntu
[14:27] <ActionParsnip> !compile | serene
[14:27] <magnetron> serene→ you don't build alien from source, install it from the repos. otherwise you're on your own
[14:27] <Aberrant> raytruz: Use >> /path/to/saved/file to save the output to file...think that's what you're after?
[14:27] <serene> i am very new to linux..can anyone say this pls
[14:27] <Minty95> afternoon
[14:27] <Pici> [ipc]-michael, hogdog: Both of you stop.
[14:28] <Pici> serene: Why do you need to compile alien?
[14:28] <hogdog> Pici aye aye
[14:28] <raytruz> Aberrant: I shall try.
[14:28]  * RazorsKiss is trying to install from an ISO on the HD on one partiion, to another, on a laptop that doesn't like the cd drive install
[14:28] <RazorsKiss> fun fun :D
[14:28] <ActionParsnip> hogdog: from what ive seen its folks with webcams that they need SOOO bad that makes them hate it after getting exaspired with driver support. that or people with high end creative soundcards
[14:28] <serene> i need it
[14:28] <greensun> how do i enter the computer on my network
[14:28] <ActionParsnip> RazorsKiss: got usb stick?
[14:29] <TuniX12> serene: just apt-get install it
[14:29] <c0de1> greensun: what network? +tilt+
[14:29] <Aberrant> raytruz: Basically any commands you run in the shell script you use "command >> /path/to/saved/file" which will save the output to a file.  Any more complicated like changing filenames and all that get a bitbeyond my knowledge
[14:29] <Pici> serene: Most software can be found in the package repositories, have you tried looking there before using alien (or even trying to install alien)?
[14:29] <serene> hmmm no i need to build it using source code
[14:29] <greensun> i see the computer but i do not see a thing in there
[14:29] <ActionParsnip> greensun: try smb:// in the address bar of your file browser
[14:29] <LjjjL> *compile alien*? is there any limit to absurdity?
[14:29] <raytruz> Aberrant: yeah, but it seems like there is some output that makes it to the terminal that doesn't get written to the file, but I'm going to try that again.
[14:29] <serene> pls can nayone say me the steps ( since its perl script i need to know how to build it)
[14:29] <ActionParsnip> LjjjL: i wish they'd remove alien so very much
[14:29] <raytruz> Aberrant: maybe it will catch everything I need to debug this script
[14:30] <c0de1> ah, talking about samba?
[14:30] <Aberrant> raytruz: Cool, good luck :)
[14:30] <raytruz> Aberrant: Seems like it did, thanks

[15:14] <Tyrath> as in ./blah/blah
[15:14] <idefix> jim_p I was at work, I had no time and waited for you
[15:15] <tonyyarusso> demontager: nautilus-open-terminal
[15:15] <jim_p> Tyrath: tha . indicates a hidden file or folder
[15:15] <Pici> holyjuju: That error could cause update-manager to not function
[15:15] <maverick340> okay, will i need to complie from source or can i get a deb ?
[15:15] <Tyrath> jim_p: ahh k thanks
[15:15] <macvr>  hi all... when a file gets moved to trash the file is listed in ~/.local/share/Trash/files ~/.local/share/Trash/info is there any other place which lists the trash files?
[15:15] <Pici> Tyrath: Or it means the current direcotry.
[15:15] <ActionParsnip> maverick340: sudo fdisk -l will show you the partition name, have the camera plugged in before you start
[15:15] <idefix> jim_p my cam picture is still not right
[15:15] <jim_p> in ./bla/bla in indicates current direcrty
[15:15] <holyjuju> Pici, the cmd you just asked me to run only fixes getting wine tho.
[15:15] <idefix> what exactly happens when you upgrade your ubuntu?
[15:15] <Pici> holyjuju: Yes, you said there were no other errors.
[15:15] <Tyrath> Pici, so how do i indicate i want a hidden folder or the current directory or is it based on where it's put
[15:16] <idefix> is it possible that webcams ceaes to function once you have?
[15:16] <Piet44> how to configure crontab to send mails to me?
[15:16] <ActionParsnip> idefix: you upgrade the programs you have installed to the ones in the next release
[15:16] <maverick340> ActionParsnip, will look up docs for that. Will i need to download the source ?
[15:16] <reya276> Morning, Flash 10 was release, should I install the .deb file from their site or should I wait until Ubuntu updates the repos and send it as an update?
[15:16] <Pici> Tyrath: If its before the slash, its the current directory, after the slash, its part of the filename and thus a hidden file/folder.
[15:16] <Tyrath> ah k thanks Pici
[15:16] <jim_p> idefix: i massive upgrade happens and a lot of packages are upgraded to the newest version. however, keep your fingers crossed in case something breaks
[15:16] <idefix> but ubuntu itself does not upgrade?
[15:16] <ActionParsnip> maverick340: all on repos dude
[15:16] <Tyrath> if I wanted help with sirc where could I go?
 but i've installed this package and not work Ubintu 8.10

[15:17] <staunch> has someone solved the intel X3100 drive problem,in the ubuntu8.04 system
[15:17] <jim_p> idefix: it updates the packages only if you dont tell it so
[15:17] <holyjuju> Pici, to be sure how do i do a paste bin? that was only eror that I saw.

[15:18] <ActionParsnip> yo yo yo thiebaude
[15:18] <Tyrath> basically I was just wondering how to scroll up in sirc, or can't you. and if you can't how do you read messages that have gone outside the screen?
[15:18] <hey> hi key
[15:18] <indian_munnda> hey: do you have any queries?
[15:18] <jim_p> idefix: are you on dapper now?
[15:18] <reya276> ﻿KenBW2: don't know I guess some of the articles I've been reading are false, I don't know good question let me look into it
[15:18] <legend2440> Danskmand: sudo apt-get install linux-source
[15:18] <thiebaude> actionpasnip"that's your saying, :)
[15:19] <holyjuju> Pici, http://paste.ubuntu.com/60131/
[15:19] <holyjuju> !pastebin
[15:19] <holyjuju> !paste
[15:19] <reya276> ﻿KenBW2: so the .deb file from adobe site worked for you with no problem
[15:19] <Tyrath> !sirc
[15:19] <Tyrath> :(
[15:19] <Pici> holyjuju: Now does update-manager work?
[15:19] <javierg> I am getting "Your system does not contain a ubuntu-desktop, kubuntu-desktop, xubuntu-desktop or edubuntu-desktop package and it was not possible to detect which version of Ubuntu you are running. Please install one of the packages above first using synaptic or apt-get before proceeding." whats that mean?
[15:19] <genii> !info sirc > Tyrath
[15:20] <holyjuju> Pici, it appears to but if I watch the servers it hit it still appears to fail to contact some of the servers.
[15:20] <indian_munnda> !factoids > holyjuju
[15:20] <jim_p> Danskmand: what are you trying to do, i lost track!
[15:20] <holyjuju> Pici, I'm think about rebooting to see if I can get the error messages to come back
[15:20] <MatBoy> mhh it seems that CUPS is not working anymore, only my printer light flashes and PDF is also not printed
[15:20] <Pici> holyjuju: If you're talking about the ignores, those are normal.
[15:20] <thiebaude> !factoids
[15:20] <ActionParsnip> javierg: what system do you have installed?
[15:20] <javierg> ActionParsnip, Ubuntu
[15:20] <scientus> my numpad is completely dead
[15:20] <mabc99> names
[15:21] <scientus> on both usb (apple alluminum) and ps/2
[15:21] <reya276> does anyone one know when OpenOffice 3.0 will be release for all versions of Ubuntu?
[15:21] <Tyrath> ubottu: sorry i don't understand. does that mean scrolling is optional? or are you telling me what sirc is? - im using sirc at the moment
[15:21] <holyjuju> Pici, it says ignore in sudo apt-get update but in the package manager it reports as failed. Failed and ignored usually mean very different things.
[15:21] <ActionParsnip> javierg: dpkg -l |grep ubuntu-desktop
[15:21] <ActionParsnip> javierg: does that show anything?
[15:21] <javierg> ActionParsnip, No.
[15:21] <Danskmand> Jim_p: I am trying to install the fcpci-driver (Fritzcard) so it supports the FAX-protokoll. The built-in seems not to be able to fax....
[15:21] <Tyrath> !help
[15:21] <TuniX12> Tyrath: ubottu is a bot :p
[15:21] <macvr>  hi all... when a file gets moved to trash the file is listed in ~/.local/share/Trash/files ~/.local/share/Trash/info is there any other place which lists the trash files?
[15:21] <Tyrath> ah
[15:21] <ActionParsnip> javierg: then sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop to install it
[15:22] <jim_p> Danskmand: and you need the kernel sources?
[15:22] <ActionParsnip> !bot | Tyrath
[15:22] <Pici> holyjuju: Are you still getting the errors in update-manager, can you paste those somewhere?
[15:22] <indian_munnda> !flood | tyrath
[15:22] <Tyrath> oh, does it use up resources to use multiple consoles?
[15:22] <MatBoy> have more people had problems with cups lately ?
[15:22] <javierg> ActionParsnip, hmmm. Interesting. How was that uninstalled? So I can avoid this again.
[15:22] <Danskmand> I dont know :-) - Its the desparate move to make it work !!
[15:22] <Piet44> how to configure crontab to send mails to me?
[15:22] <TuniX12> javierg: are you installing something?
[15:22] <ActionParsnip> javierg: no idea, remember to read the screen when playing with packages so you know whats in and whats out
[15:22] <idefix> jim_p sorry no in hardy
[15:22] <indian_munnda> Tyrath: u can pm ubottu to check factoids
[15:22] <indian_munnda> :)
[15:23] <Tyrath> ahh k t
[15:23] <BlueEagle> Piet44: I think that's in the manual: man crontab
[15:23] <ActionParsnip> Piet44: i believe php has a mail function
[15:23] <anabolix> i have a problem with opening windows, they appear normally but they are always positioned at the top so that i cant actually click the maximize and minimize or close buttons on the top right... any idea how to fix this?
[15:23] <holyjuju> Pici, I'm going to reboot and see if I can get the errors to come up. they typically stop after running the package manager a few times. is there a way to delete the content that the package manager already downloaded but has not installed? I just want to be 100% sure it checks for all updates accordingly.
[15:23] <BlueEagle> Piet44: make that: man 5 crontab
[15:23] <javierg> TuniX12, Yes, im installing some new updates that popped up today.
[15:23] <ActionParsnip> anabolix: until you get a fix, if you hold ALT you can drag it from anyplace on the window
[15:23] <TuniX12> anabolix: compiz activated?
[15:24] <cdavis_> Evolution is just not a stable/reliable client for connecting to Exchange. Are there any other good alternatives?
[15:24] <anabolix> yea
[15:24] <Danskmand> jim_p: When I compile it, I get : http://pastebin.com/dba62243
[15:24] <ActionParsnip> anabolix: if its compiz then head over to #compiz
[15:24] <holyjuju> cdavis, install wine on ubuntu and install outlook on it
[15:24] <TuniX12> then disable it
[15:24] <anabolix> thanks
[15:24] <ActionParsnip> cdavis_: outlook 97 runs ok in wine ive heard
[15:25] <scarface> hey guys -- how do I revoke admin privileges once I have been granted them?  Like if I open Synaptic, I'm prompted for my password.  After I enter it, I can open and close Synaptic without being prompted for some number of minutes.  I want to undo whatever has cached my credentials, so that Synaptic will prompt for the password again.
[15:25] <sledge> are there any commands to search for things in man pages..
[15:25] <sledge> or commands
[15:25] <sledge> what are .rc files?
[15:25] <SlimeyPete> sledge: press / then type your search phrase and press enter
[15:25] <sledge> and how do aliases work?
[15:25] <ActionParsnip> sledge: usually config files for an app of the same name
[15:25] <SlimeyPete> sledge: then press 'n' to skip to next instance of the search phrase
[15:25] <cdavis_> ActionParsnip, I was hoping to avoid a MS product :(
[15:26] <idefix> jim_p uname -r 2.6.15-52-386
[15:26] <jim_p> Danskmand: do you have linux-headers-2.6.24-19-server installed?
[15:26] <BlueEagle> sledge: http://www.lugaru.com/man/search-man-pages.html
[15:27] <ActionParsnip> cdavis_: ms are really good at blocking non ms apps
[15:27] <Danskmand> jim_p: When I look at the dir "/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.24-19-server", I see only this: http://pastebin.com/m687eb53d
[15:27] <jim_p> idefix: that kernel is old. what version of gnome are you on?
[15:27] <Danskmand> jim_p: uname -r -> 2.6.24-19-server

[15:28] <piasdom> anyone know how i can get my desktop to fit my screen ?
[15:28] <jim_p> Danskmand: are you sure you have the above package insalled?
[15:28] <tonyyarusso> scarface: see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=179048 - I think if you set that variable to 0 you'll get the behavior you want.
[15:29] <Danskmand> Which package do you mean ? - No, I am not ??
[15:29] <indian_munnda> ActionParsnip: cdavis i think thunderbird is another option.
[15:29] <ActionParsnip> piasdom: use a lower res if its too big or use a higher res if its soo small
[15:29] <idefix> jim_p is gnome version 2.22.3 new?
[15:29] <jim_p> Danskmand: linuxi-headers-2.6.24-19-server
[15:29] <jim_p> idefix: yes
[15:29] <ActionParsnip> piasdom: im guessing you are on a laptop thats not stretching the display

[15:30] <ActionParsnip> piasdom: you need to install graphics drivers then
[15:31] <indian_munnda> piasdom: use alt+f1 to goto to system -> prefrences -> screen resolution
[15:31] <piasdom> my desktop is hugh :)
[15:31] <ActionParsnip> piasdom: if you run lspci you will see what you have
[15:31] <jim_p> idefix: can you install a newer kernel 2.6.24-whatever?
[15:31] <Tyrath> basically i've been doing it like: cp ./blah/blah/sql.sl ./usr/share/blah
[15:31] <Danskmand> jim_p: Thats what apt-get tells me: sudo apt-get install linux-headers-2.6.24-19-server -> linux-headers-2.6.24-19-server is allready at its newest level (translated from German..)
[15:31] <jim_p> idefix: i have never been outside the borders of my country
[15:31] <mustakimnajib> install new kernel
[15:31] <idefix> jim_p why? I just upgraded 1-2 weeks ago
[15:31] <Tyrath> - is this correct?
[15:31] <ActionParsnip> Tyrath: you need sudo to copy to /urs
[15:31] <idefix> which is greece.
[15:31] <Tyrath> ahk
[15:31] <Tyrath> ah k
[15:31] <maverick340> ActionParsnip, F-sopt is not able to import pics from the digi cam
[15:32] <jim_p> idefix: the kernel is like 1.5 years old now
[15:32] <holyjuju> Pici, you there?
[15:32] <ActionParsnip> Tyrath: otherwise the command is being executed by you (user) who doesnt have write access
[15:32] <maverick340> gives an error about unable to lock to device
[15:32] <idefix> what's the Alphabetical name of the latest version then?
[15:32] <jim_p> Danskmand: let me think then
[15:32] <ActionParsnip> maverick340: is it pointed at the correct device?
[15:32] <mustakimnajib> use opensuse will settle all your problem
[15:32] <idefix> is the newest version better in spite of newness bugs?
[15:32] <Danskmand> jim_p: But I am not sure if it IS installed....
[15:32] <idefix> jim_p?
[15:32] <Danskmand> Ok :-)
[15:32] <ActionParsnip> maverick340: try running the f-spot with gksudo

[15:33] <Danskmand> Did you note the links in the directory only point to themselves ?
[15:33] <ActionParsnip> piasdom: have you installed graphics drivers?
[15:33] <jim_p> idefix: sudo apt-get install linux-image-2.6.24-generic
[15:33] <mustakimnajib> then, use fedora.. so you dont have opensuse probs
[15:33] <ActionParsnip> mustakimnajib: no OS is flawless or everyone would use it
[15:33] <Tyrath> ok typing sql.sl is useless when the files name is php.sl - sorry i only just realised i was doing this
[15:34] <Tyrath> ok so now i've moved the file
[15:34] <ActionParsnip> mustakimnajib: its a ridiculous propostion and you'd never get productive for installing new OSes
[15:34] <Tyrath> what's the command to edit files?
[15:34] <Tyrath> is it sudo edit filename
[15:34] <jim_p> Tyrath: soudo gedit ...

[15:34] <ptux> hello, i'd like exchange my ubuntu's hostname permanently, but if i give it a new hostname with sudo hostname, it is up to the restart..

[15:34] <idefix> jim_p E: Couldn't find package linux-image-2.6.24-generic
[15:34] <ptux> can anybody help me?
[15:34] <mustakimnajib> gedit, kwrite nano etc

[15:35] <ActionParsnip> !ask | ptux
[15:35] <BlueEagle> !who | mustakimnajib
[15:35] <jim_p> idefix: apt-cache search linux-image | grep generic
[15:35] <jim_p> idefix: what does it rerutn
[15:35] <ActionParsnip> piasdom: you could restore your xorg config back to failsafe
[15:35] <jim_p> idefix: and yes i am from greece
[15:36] <maverick340> ActionParsnip, dd_ didnot work
[15:36] <piasdom> Actionparsnip: how ?

[15:37] <ActionParsnip> maverick340: dd_rescue is what you need, check some guides
[15:37] <mustakimnajib> blue eagle.. find me at http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Hardy or http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Intrepid
[15:37] <ptux> ok joaopinto , thanks. now i'll restart the pc to test the situation.

[15:37] <holyjuju> what does sudo apt-get clean do?
[15:37] <maverick340> when i ran from terminal
[15:37] <lacrymology> hey
[15:38] <ActionParsnip> maverick340: use pastebin dude, dont flood the place
[15:38] <maverick340> sorry sorry :-)
[15:38] <ActionParsnip> maverick340: you could try an fsck on the device
[15:38] <BlueEagle> mustakimnajib: When you split "BlueEagle" into two words my IRC-client does not highlight the line and things may be lost. See also !tab and for good measure !ot.
[15:38] <maverick340> what is fsck ?
[15:38] <ActionParsnip> maverick340: try taking the storage out of the camera and putting it directly into your pc
[15:38] <ActionParsnip> !fsck
[15:39] <Danskmand> Jim_p: Do you mind telling me privatly if you find something ? - Then I can do something else and dont have to stare on the conversation :-)
[15:39] <ActionParsnip> i gotta split kids
[15:39] <ActionParsnip> peace out
[15:40]  * genii imagines the parsnip chooping children in two
[15:40] <GlennLap> What's the command to clear clipboard?
[15:40] <genii> *chopping
[15:40] <mustakimnajib> why they always asking same question..
[15:41] <maverick340> funny, the mount point of the camera is gphoto2://[usb:004,008]/
[15:41] <lacrymology> my computer is oldie.. but it shouldn't die running xubuntu, should it?
[15:42] <geeky_goowy> ﻿lacrymology: no mayt.. it should work just fine..
[15:42] <scarface> tonyyarusso, I'm not sure but it looks like that setting will apply to sudo on the command line.  You can use "sudo -k" to revoke permission like I want but it only applies to the CLI, and has no effect on starting admin tools via the gui.
[15:42] <geeky_goowy> ﻿lacrymology: xubuntu is meant for low-end and old systems..
[15:43] <sap> oh i have a question which one is better kubuntu or ubuntu?
[15:43] <alexandre> bonjour qui me recoi
[15:43] <lacrymology> geeky_goowy: exactly.. and it still dies
[15:43] <geeky_goowy> sap: depends.. kubuntu is graphics rich.. thanks to KDE.. but overall, they're somewhat even..
[15:43] <geeky_goowy> ﻿lacrymology: whats the config?
[15:44] <genii> sap: It's all subjective.
[15:44] <tonyyarusso> scarface: You tested it?
[15:45] <idefix> my binocular enlarges 10x, but it still functions the 11th time
[15:45] <scarface> tonyyarusso, I'm trying to, but it wants you to use visudo to edit /etc/sudoers, and I'm finding that my vi skills are rusty :)
[15:45] <lacrymology> geeky_goowy: any tool that won't make me have to parse lshw?
[15:45] <MatBoy> man this is odd, Cups is doing weird :S
[15:45] <MatBoy> no printing at all
[15:45] <MatBoy> any more
[15:45] <Topgun1000> Hi, Sorry to barge in here with a question, but can somone kindly explain how i can allow the user www-data to view the processes of ther users? Tried googling but no luck.
[15:45] <cjs> Any idea how I get firefox to clear the input box rather than show source when I hit ctrl-U? I changed that gnome setting, but it didn't work for firefox.
[15:46] <cjs> (Worked great for xchat, though.)
[15:46] <mustakimnajib> how to chat using YM 9 beta? installation ok, login ok, but can't chaT. Who has fix this problems?
[15:46] <hubar[TD]> What is YM 9 beta?
[15:46] <mustakimnajib> YiM
[15:46] <Topgun1000> yahoo messenger?
[15:46] <mustakimnajib> yup
[15:46] <defrysk> my god..
[15:47] <mustakimnajib> can't wait for YM 9 full release
[15:47] <BlueEagle> Topgun1000: Which restrictions do apply?
[15:47] <mustakimnajib> maybe there's surprise for linux
[15:47] <Tyrath> ok i'm going to need to know again how to edit files if i do sudo gedit filename nothing happens
[15:47] <hubar[TD]> ah.
[15:47] <Tyrath> furthermore if i do dksudo gedit filename nothing happens
[15:48] <Tyrath> dksudo = gksudo
[15:48] <hubar[TD]> I would just stick with pidgin. :)
[15:48] <Topgun1000> if i do ps -aux as www-data i can only see www-data's own processes (apache).
[15:48] <wishie> what can i do if some of my laptops 'extra' keys dont work ? By 'dont work' i mean, dont generate any sort of event/keysym/scancode etc.
[15:48] <mustakimnajib> I stik with kopete and gyachoo (from indonesia)
[15:48] <Tyrath> and when i open up nano, and try i manual edit i get permission denied
[15:49] <Tyrath> or is there someway you can do nano -sudo
[15:49] <Tyrath> - or something like that
[15:49] <Tyrath> or sudo nano
[15:49] <genii> wishie: Look up your laptop model on the Laptop Testing Team wiki pages and see if there may be some known issue or workaround
[15:49] <legend2440> Tyrath: sudo nano file.txt
[15:49] <genii> Tyrath: The second one
[15:49] <Tyrath> ah k thanks
[15:50] <Tyrath> legend, what if the file is an .sl file?
[15:50] <Tyrath> - same thing?
[15:50] <legend2440> yes
[15:50] <wishie> genii: i think ive looked there before, but ill check again. as for speaking to the laptop team, #ubuntu-laptop says its not for 'support' so how the hell am i to get this fixed ? pressing my "enable/disable touchpad" button even causes programs to crash!
[15:51] <liza0_> hello all
[15:51] <mustakimnajib> One day, YM will be compatible with linux (Mac osx can, linux also can)
[15:51] <scrote> hi
[15:51] <scrote> i installed linux
[15:51] <scarface> tonyyarusso, Your suggestion worked, I get prompted for my password each time it needs it.  Thanks!
[15:52] <scrote> whooo hoooo i installed linux
[15:52] <scrote> how do i hack shit
[15:52] <mustakimnajib> you cn't hack shit
[15:53] <scrote> what do i have to type to send forged emails to my high schools admin, forging the 'from' as other teachers, offering sexual favors to fix the printer.
[15:53] <BlueEagle> Topgun1000: the syntax should be : ps aux
[15:53] <wrzaskd_> scrote, A sledgehammer.
[15:53] <genii> wishie: It's conceivable you have a broken keyboard
[15:53] <scarface> tonyyarusso, But I guess I'm still looking for a way to revoke permission once it's been granted.  When I played with Red Hat way-back-when, it would display a key icon on the panel when you had root privileges.  It would timeout after a few minutes, but there was also an option on the icon to "revoke now".
[15:53] <BlueEagle> Topgun1000: without the dash. That may or may not fix the issue.
[15:53] <thiebaude> !language
[15:54] <genii> scrote: You won't find much help here in those areas anyhow
[15:54] <wishie> genii: works in the 'other' OS
[15:54] <mustakimnajib> genie.. I love genie effect on awn dock
[15:54] <hubar[TD]> It puzzles me why linux-mag.com would host windows/mac only webinar.
[15:55] <hubar[TD]> Isn't that just stupid?
[15:55] <mustakimnajib> yes.. so stupid damn$h!T
[15:55] <Juhaz> of course it is. that's media for you, what else is new?
[15:56] <hubar[TD]> I wrote them an email complaining about it, but I never got any response. :(
[15:56] <mustakimnajib> must change to vista-mac.com, not linux-mag.com
[15:56] <MatBoy> no-one has had the error in cups: "No Pages found!"  ?
[15:56] <BlueEagle> Topgun1000: also, when I sudo to www-data ps aux and ps -aux gives me the entire list.
[15:56] <genii> wishie: If you're not getting some event from the keys it's difficult. Any way to enable numlock  in bios?
[15:57] <dfgas> how do i install flash 10 on 64bit
[15:57] <mustakimnajib> update your repo first - dfgas
[15:58] <wishie> genii: numlock ? not in bios i dont think, but that key works on the keyboard. its 2 of the 'media' buttons (QuickPlay and DVD) that dont work, aswell as some bugs with a few others
[15:58] <maverick340> i am unable to mount any USB devices
[15:58] <marius> hey guys
[15:58] <marius> where's applications.menu file hiding? I've lost all my applications entries
[15:58] <mustakimnajib> find latest sources.list (google it) - dfgas
[15:58] <maverick340> my iPod used to mount fine till yesterday , after an update it no longer mounting :<
[15:59] <jameswf-home> I really need to wipe this machine what is the risk of doing 8.10 10 days early
[15:59] <marius> and I want to bbring them back
[15:59] <mustakimnajib> -marius, you use gnome?
[15:59] <xeiter> Hi I have a php script that uploads files to my webserver. This directory has www-data set for grooup/user permissions. When I upload files using that php script, the files are put in the uploads directory with strange permissions -rw-------. I cant use those files in my php scripts unless i change permission manually. How can i make it so correct permsiions are set on upload ?
[15:59] <NET||abuse> kebo: hi
[15:59] <kebo> hello
[15:59] <maverick340> should not have tried to attempt to start with a bets i guess !
[15:59] <NET||abuse> kebo: so you should explain your problem with your kernel here
[15:59] <gaelf1> so I just did a fresh install of Hardy, I tried to enable b43 wireless driver (restricted on), it said it succeeded, but I still can't use wireless. Syslog shows some error along the lines of "YOUR FIRMWARE IS TOO NEW! PLEASE DOWNGRADE YOUR FIRMWARE"
[16:00] <NET||abuse> kebo: basically we need to know what it is with the kernel that's going wrong, type in the kernel errors
[16:00] <NET||abuse> not too long though.
[16:00] <legend2440> marius: right click Applications on top panel choose edit menus
[16:00] <kebo> my ubuntu freeze and i have to turn off power and reboot
[16:00] <BlueEagle> !etiquette
[16:00] <genii> wishie: Perhaps check into keytouch package.
[16:00] <kebo> i dont know it just right alot of texts after booting
[16:00] <kebo> write*
[16:00] <javierg> How do you remove the logon so that you need the terminal to logon?
[16:01] <kebo> my system dont work well , and freeze alot it was working good for amonth , and suddenlly it turned to that
[16:01] <gaelf1> javierg: you mean alt+F2?
[16:01] <NET||abuse> kebo: ok, well, where does land when it is finsihed writing text.
[16:01] <javierg> gaelf1, Yes. BUt instead of having the ubuntu logon I want just the terminal view.
[16:02] <kebo> first it load much time in grub not like before in second and tell me loading grub
[16:02] <Vi1> Hi folks. Noob here, how do I set a program, say Firefox to auto start on logon?
[16:02] <NET||abuse> kebo: also, have you tried booting into an earlier kernel in he boot menu?
[16:02] <gaelf1> javierg: oh, you mean you want the default to be terminal login?
[16:02] <kebo> and i have problem with partition ntfs it dont open and it open in live cd
[16:02] <javierg> gaelf1, Yes. is it Apt-remove gdm? or something like that I just forgot the command
[16:02] <kebo> i have to write command to open it on my ubuntu 8.04
[16:02] <|chiz|> Does anyone have any ideas for what I could install on a table top display, open sourcewise to impress people the demo it?
[16:02] <|chiz|> I came across moblin, basically turn it into a giant smart phone
[16:02] <|chiz|> or handheld device
[16:03] <|chiz|> It is a touch screen that has the ability to register two touches
[16:03] <gaelf1> javierg: whoa, maybe you don't want to go that far. if you are in the graphical version now, your name should be displayed in the bar at the top of the screen
[16:03] <BlueEagle> !enter | |chiz|
[16:03] <NET||abuse> kebo: hmm, one sec
[16:03] <legend2440> Vi1: open  system>preferences>sessions>Startup programs tab   add
[16:03] <kebo> ok
[16:03] <gaelf1> javierg: you right-click it, select setup login screen and then set the default session in the first tab to FAILSAFE terminal
[16:03] <BlueEagle> !ntfs | kebo
[16:04] <fu210gura> hi, who can help me? i have a problem with my wireless connection
[16:04] <kebo> yeah , i have another ntfs partition
[16:04] <Vi1> Legend, brilliant thanks!
[16:04] <BlueEagle> !anyone | fu210gura
[16:04] <capitol> i have a small nfsv4 problem, i have exported a directory from my fileserver, and that directory have some more directories mounted into it with --bind, but i can't see the files in those directories on the client
[16:04] <marius> I've been using gnome
[16:04] <marius> applications panel was just empty
[16:04] <marius> edit menus not working
[16:04] <marius> but
[16:04] <marius> /home/marius/.config/menus/applications.menu was empty
[16:04] <BlueEagle> !enter | marius
[16:05] <fu210gura> ok, i have an hp compaq 6715s running on ubuntu and i cannot connect to wireless networks, please help :D
[16:05] <marius> sorry :D
[16:05] <gaelf1> javierg: does that help at all?
[16:05] <marius> /etc/xdg/menus/applications.menu was full so I copyed all text to the first one and it fixed everything :D
[16:05] <BlueEagle> fu210gura: Do you know which wireless chipset it uses?
[16:05] <fu210gura> not really
[16:05] <gaelf1> gah, in Pidgin, how do you disable the enter/exit room text?
[16:06] <javierg> gaelf1, Sorry was on the phone. Ummm. I would just prefer no graphical log on at all. Just the pure terminal where I put my name password and then type startx
[16:06] <Vi1> Legend, where do I find the programs in the system? i.e windows 'program files'?
[16:06]  * mr_lou is getting tired of his locale issue
[16:06] <BlueEagle> fu210gura: to find out running this command in a terminal often helps: lspci |grep wireless
[16:07] <gaelf1> javierg: well, I think if you change the default session to FAILSAFE terminal, that should give you what you want
[16:07] <BlueEagle> Vi1: Very often in /bin, /usr/bin and /opt/
[16:07] <scp> Olá, bom dia
[16:07] <javierg> gaelf1, Sweet. I will try that.
[16:07] <BlueEagle> Vi1: However most programs install themselves in the default path so you can invoke them by just typing the name of the command in a terminal or in the run-dialog.
[16:07] <scp> alguem fala portugues (brasil) ?
[16:07] <fu210gura> BlueEagle: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11a/b/g (rev 02)
[16:07] <gaelf1> javierg: but if you are bent on removing gnome, then I personally would install the server version rather than the desktop version
[16:08] <gaelf1> javierg: of ubuntu that is
[16:08] <javierg> gaelf1, No don't really need the server version. But thanks though!
[16:08] <BlueEagle> !broadcom | fu210gura
[16:08] <gaelf1> javierg: ok, just saying ;)
[16:08] <scientus> how do i change through a menu weather a windows has decorations in metacity?
[16:08] <BlueEagle> fu210gura: Hope that helps. :)
[16:08] <fu210gura> BlueEagle thank you.
[16:09] <BlueEagle> fu210gura: You're welcome.
[16:09] <gaelf1> I just enabled the restricted driver for my wireless card (bc43xx - restricted driver), and after I restarted, my wireless still doesn't work and syslog gives an error along the lines of "Your firmware is too new!" How do I downgrade the firmware?
[16:10] <Tyrath> ok im getting nowhere with following thees instructions on how to install modes for jed
[16:10] <Vi1> Blue Eagle thanks, I am setting some to auto start on logon
[16:10] <BlueEagle> gaelf1: Which broadcom device is it exactly?
[16:10] <Tyrath> when i try to compile the bytecomp.sl file it fails
[16:10] <Tyrath> and i'm inserting the names of the files like it asks
[16:10] <BlueEagle> Vi1: which <command> wil give you the path to the spesific command, ie: which ps
[16:11] <BlueEagle> Vi1: and you're welcome.
[16:11] <gaelf1> how do I disable all the login/logout messages in this chatroom from appearing in pidgin?
[16:11] <felipe__> Hello all !
[16:12] <felipe__> I m new in linux and need some help
[16:12] <lacrymology> what on?
[16:12] <BlueEagle> gaelf1: I would be suprised if that ins't covered in the documentation for pidgin. For irssi it's "/ignore #channel join part quit" and pidgin may or may not have a similar feature.
[16:12] <felipe__> How I install my new video drivers
[16:12] <BlueEagle> felipe__: That depends on your graphics card.
[16:12] <lacrymology> felipe__: what video card do you have?
[16:13] <felipe__> I have a geforce 6600
[16:13] <BlueEagle> !nvidia | felipe__
[16:13] <felipe__> already download last files
[16:13] <felipe__> hey nvidia
[16:13] <BlueEagle> felipe__: Please take the time to read the link ubottu provided.
[16:13] <felipe__> ok
[16:13] <Tyrath> !jed
[16:14] <jameswf-home> !botabuse
[16:14] <idefix> some of my hardware drivers failed to startup, how can I check which one?
[16:14] <BlueEagle> idefix: /var/log/dmesg might be a good place to start.
[16:14] <jameswf-home> idefix: dmesg
[16:15] <mustakimnajib> do you know older nvidia version work well with kubuntu only?
[16:15] <Spudz> Hello all, I just wasted a whole morning today trying to share my internet with my housemates using wireless.  Both other pcs (mac and xp notebook) can see the cnxn, and join.  but the ip's are 169.254.x.y, and they cant load webpages.  can anyone explain to me what's going on?  Do I need to do something fancy with the linuxbox?
[16:15] <idefix> what does [17179948.664000] stand for?
[16:15] <idefix> (in dmesg)
[16:15] <jameswf-home> Spudz: do  you have a DHCP server
[16:16] <msian_tux_lover> Spudz, perhaps you can run firestarter....quick ans easy net sharing
[16:16] <lliw00> is there a way i can set up a ups to be able to reset when given commands via the internet? or at least over a router
[16:16] <errr> I have installed rpm on my ubuntu system. Is there a way for me to populate the rpm database with the packages I have installed though apt-get
[16:16] <BlueEagle> Spudz: Hello. First off we need to know a bit more about your network setup. Is your linux box set up between your modem and your wireless router?
[16:16] <Spudz> jameswf-home: I don't know.  I just clicked on the network manager, and started a wireless network.  then joined it from the other boxes.
[16:16] <jameswf-home> Spudz: 169.254.0.0 is an apipa range means your network is not right
[16:16] <BlueEagle> idefix: That is most likey a time stamp.
[16:17] <Spudz> awesome!! the gurus are at home :) I tried 8 hours ago and no answer
[16:17] <DaveTarmac> Hi guys
[16:17]  * jameswf-home is at wok
[16:17] <DaveTarmac> I'm looking for a decent FTP client for Ubuntu - can anyone recommend something?
[16:17] <uhhhhh> anyone put ubuntu on a umpc?
[16:17] <Vi1> How well will Xubuntu run on an AMDK6+ 450 with 256mb Ram?
[16:17] <jameswf> DaveTarmac: I use fireftp
[16:17] <msian_tux_lover> DaveTarmac, gftp?
[16:17] <BlueEagle> Spudz: So your linux box is a computer (laptop?) with a wireless card in it and you want to use it as a wireless access point?
[16:18] <Spudz> BlueEagle: I get internet from a USB Wireless Modem
[16:18] <DaveTarmac> msian_tux_lover: tried it,I'd like something that integrates a bit nicer with gnome - so I can drag things from nautilus
[16:18] <piasdom> can someone tell me how to find my graphic drivers ?
[16:18] <Decepticon> what drivers am i supposed to download to make nvidia geforce fx 5200 work
[16:18] <erUSUL> !nvidia
[16:18] <Decepticon> im sitting at http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html and i see a lot of choices
[16:18] <nassty> !bcm4318
[16:18] <jameswf> piasdom: lspci
[16:18] <javierg> How hard is it to install Windows Vista with a stripe raid on two seperate hard drives, while leaving the original Ubuntu installation (and hard drive) still working?
[16:18] <jameswf> piasdom: lspci + google
[16:18] <dfgas> mustakimnajib, what do you mean find the latest sources.list?
[16:18] <Under_Wraps> piasdom: when was the last time you saw them :)
[16:19] <nassty> !bcm43
[16:19] <BlueEagle> !broadcom | nassty
[16:19] <Spudz> BlueEagle: Yep!
[16:19] <piasdom> i just installed ubuntu
[16:19] <BlueEagle> nassty: You're welcome.
[16:19] <nassty> thanks BlueEagle
[16:19] <mustakimnajib> dfgas, you will get what you want
[16:19] <nassty> you can read my mind BlueEagle
[16:19] <nassty> ?
[16:19] <piasdom> ispci gives me a bunch of stiff i don't understand
[16:20] <dfgas> mustakimnajib, i can't find what i need though
[16:20] <BlueEagle> nassty: No, I just passed that link off to someone else a few minutes ago. ;)
[16:20] <legend2440> piasdom: open system>administration>hardware drivers is there a box to enable drivers?
[16:20] <uhhhhh> anyone? ubuntu on an eee or aspire one?
[16:20] <nassty> I think I've this problem at the edge of the cliff
[16:20] <BlueEagle> Spudz: I'm sorry, but I have to pass on that one. I tried setting it up but I didn't get the other wireless machines to find the right network.
[16:20] <BlueEagle> !anyone | uhhhhh
[16:21] <k26606> #kampung
[16:21] <msian_tux_lover> DaveTarmac, I usually just use nautilus for simple FTP, for command line ncftp is good
[16:21] <Spudz> BlueEagle: np
[16:21] <nassty> BlueEagle, can I throw you an error and tell me where can I start looking for?
[16:21] <Decepticon> for nvidia geforce fx 5200, do i use NVIDIA-Linux-x86-169.12-pkg1.run or NVIDIA-Linux-x86-177.80.pkg1.run to install the drivers?
[16:21] <k26606> #nick erlz
[16:21] <uhhhhh> okay...well im trying to find out how long it takes for ubuntu to boot one one. they say some os's boot in like 7 seconds
[16:21] <BlueEagle> nassty: I've never used a broadcom device in my life, but if you throw the error at google it often finds something useful.

[16:22] <thomasite> Hello. Is there any Ubuntu equivalent to FrontPage? (Sorry for the otherwise silly question)
[16:22] <geeky_goowy> errpast: use the inbuilt ripper mann..
[16:22] <BlueEagle> thomasite: Are you thinking a WYSIWYG editor?
[16:22] <thomasite> Somehow, BlueEagle. :)
[16:23] <jameswf> thomasite: frontpage bad... w3schools and vi good

[16:24] <piasdom> legend2440: k8m800  micro am2
[16:24] <jameswf> Decepticon: Means couldn't find package elinks
[16:24] <Topgun1000> id you get my PM blueavle? It makes do difference if i do ps -aux or ps aux.
[16:24] <Spudz> Decepticon: Maybe you don't have the right repository that contains that package.

[16:24] <defrysk> or bliefish
[16:24] <defrysk> bluefish
[16:25] <genii> Decepticon: Since it's in main repository should be available by default. Try first:   sudo apt-get update
[16:25] <Decepticon> Spudz ubottu thinks that package exists... so whats the deal
[16:25] <BlueEagle> idefix: I'm no good with webcams.
[16:25] <jameswf> bluefish is not wysiwyg
[16:25] <legend2440> piasdom: in terminal type    lspci | grep -i vga  that should say which card
[16:25] <gaelfx> can anyone see what I have written?
[16:25] <jameswf> gaelfx: no
[16:25] <BlueEagle> nassty: If you find the network ssid with the other machines then perhaps I can help in any case.
[16:25] <gaelfx> jameswf: thank you :D
[16:25] <defrysk> thomasite: that means compozer is your option
[16:25] <freebsd_fan> what is the most versitile gui package to manage VPN internet connection?
[16:26] <thomasite> Thanks!
[16:26] <thomasite> :)
[16:26] <freebsd_fan> one that installs well please.

[16:26] <freebsd_fan> ok
[16:26] <Decepticon> do i have to tell ubuntu to use my LAN or my wLAN, i have both hooked up and it seems like it doesnt know which one to use, the wlan is not connected to anything, but the lan is
[16:26] <BlueEagle> nassty: What you need to do is provide network topology information to the peers that connect to your network. You do this most easily by running a dhcp server. Since you also want to forward network information I suggest you have a look at dnsmasq.
[16:26] <Spudz> Decepticon: Go System->Admin->sw sources
[16:26] <Decepticon> i dont have a gui
[16:26] <BlueEagle> nassty: It can both provide dns information and forward network traffic for you.
[16:26] <thomasite> Thanks, BlueEagle and defrysk
[16:26] <Spudz> Decepticon: you'll need to check some box.  which one - ull have to find out
[16:27] <Decepticon> Spudz i dont have a gui
[16:27] <freebsd_fan> couldnt find package
[16:27] <Decepticon> and i dont think my internet is working
[16:27] <defrysk> is quanta also wysiwyg ?
[16:27] <jameswf> Decepticon: install webmin poof a gui

[16:28] <gaelfx> http://pastebin.com/d4f37c604 How can I get my wireless card to work?
[16:29] <thomasite> Question: There are Debian and RedHat packages and a Linux tarball in the Downloads section of the Kompozer website. As I am running Ubuntu, which of the three shall I get? Thanks.
[16:29] <Decepticon> Spudz yes, so im trying to figure out why its not working
[16:29] <idefix> what happens when you get frame lost messages? your computer doesn't keep up with your webcam, how to solve it? is it solvable?
[16:29] <Oli``> Is it possible to see who's using my samba shares (like you can in Windows)?

[16:29] <genii> Oli``: smbstatus
[16:29] <xeiter> Hi I have a php script that uploads files to my webserver. This directory has www-data set for grooup/user permissions. When I upload files using that php script, the files are put in the uploads directory with strange permissions -rw-------. I cant use those files in my php scripts unless i change permission manually. How can i make it so correct permsiions are set on upload ?
[16:30] <Oli``> genii: excellent. thanks

[16:30] <genii> Oli``: You're welcome
[16:30] <kane77> how do I find out where the grub is installed?
[16:30] <piasdom> jameswf:thanks
[16:30] <mustakimnajib> for hardy who like to try intrepid, you can find sources.list at http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Intrepid
[16:30] <BlueEagle> xeiter: Which owner:group does the files have?
[16:30] <cabrioleur> kane77, whereis grub
[16:30] <Spudz> please can someone help me understand how to create a wireless network, on #spudz?  This chan's too busy...
[16:31] <jameswf> I am debating weather to wipe now and go intrepid or wait 10 days
[16:31] <xeiter> BlueEagle, www-data
[16:31] <defrysk> jameswf: if in doubt, wait
[16:31] <kane77> cabrioleur, I meant on which disks bootsector it is
[16:31] <mustakimnajib> spudz: pm with piju, he use wireless
[16:32] <BlueEagle> xeiter: Well -rw------- is read and write for the owner so it should be accessible for www-data if www-data is the owner.
[16:32]  * jameswf not bothered by bugs, but annoyed by mass updated
[16:32] <jameswf> *updates
[16:32] <thiebaude> jameswf:it's better to wait
[16:32] <BlueEagle> xeiter: What might be the case is that the directory is located some place where www-data cannot access it due to restrictions in php safe mode or apache document root.
[16:32] <tonyyarusso> thomasite: None of the above.  KompoZer is in the Ubuntu repositories.
[16:32] <CeReaLChELoSkY> hola
[16:33] <xeiter> BlueEagle, is there a way to change the permsission to soemthin more open - just for testing ?
[16:33] <defrysk> jameswf: a dist-upgrade now might couse loss of packages to resolve deps
[16:33] <xeiter> BlueEagle, locatino of www root is default /var/www
[16:33] <Spudz> mustakimnajib: There's no piju here
[16:33] <freebsd_fan> when i try to install vpnc there are tons of dependency problems!
[16:33] <freebsd_fan> ubuntu is starting to wind me up, it doesn;t have a clue where to find stuff
[16:33] <idefix> HURRAAY!
[16:34] <mustakimnajib> oh.. maybe he was away
[16:34] <freebsd_fan> apt-get cock
[16:34] <BlueEagle> xeiter: You change permissions with chmod, but it should not be required. Where do you move the files after they are uploaded?
[16:34] <mustakimnajib> he's my friend
[16:34] <jameswf> no i have been through 3 dist upgrades this round I am going clean, dist-upgrades are he** on the os
[16:34] <xeiter> BlueEagle, the files are placed into /var/www/uploads.  They do indeed get placed in there but their permissions are -rw--------.
[16:35] <defrysk> jameswf: then , good luck ;)
[16:35] <kane77> how do I get the list of installed packages?
[16:35] <thiebaude> jameswf:when i order the 8.10 cd, it will be a clean install, right now i did upgrade.
[16:35] <BlueEagle> xeiter: Then you should be able to refer to those files as /uploads/filename.ext
[16:35] <xeiter> BlueEagle, I then have my script move the uploaded files from /var/www/uploads into /var/www/uploads/processed and thast when it fails. I assuem due to permissions
[16:36] <thiebaude> i'm never going to have an ubuntu that is more than 6 months old, :)
[16:36] <aadil> freebsd_fan, how long u using ubuntu?
[16:36] <BlueEagle> xeiter: Is the processed directory accessable to www-data?
[16:36] <xeiter> yeah

[16:36] <maniheer> !yay | thiebaude
[16:37] <thiebaude> ubottu:there is a bug i reported to launchpad

[16:40] <lacrymology> can I make my windows key open up the xfce menu somehow?
[16:40] <aatk> Just a quick question, if I install the Ibex beta, it should upgrade fine when it's officially released?
[16:41] <lacrymology> I just hate seeing a utterly useless key on the keyboard
[16:41] <maniheer> !intrepid  | aatk
[16:41] <kane77> legend2440, cabrioleur, thank you, I am preparing to reinstall to 8.10 (after 3 years of just upgrading) and I want to make sure it will be smooth so I am backing up everything :)
[16:41] <aadil> maniheer, u making ubottu cybering with me?
[16:41] <aadil> ;)
[16:42] <aatk> lacrymology, you should be able to do that using the keyboard settings
[16:42] <cabrioleur> lacrymology, yes, there was a way. xfce menu is a command. You can bind it to the key in configuration.

[16:50] <anewson> that's a lot of ram
[16:50] <rogerio> Just A little
[16:50] <jameswf> 32 needs PAE extensions
[16:50] <davidfraser> rogerio: You need to use a 64-bit kernel or have High memory kernel - the server ones work
[16:50] <genii> rogerio: Use server kernel if 32bit CPU or else switch to 64bit if your CPU supports it

[16:51] <maniheer> :)
[16:51] <GuilhermeCunha> rogerio, use a 64bits system
[16:51] <lacrymology> rogerio: can't have that much memory on a 32bit system

[16:51] <GuilhermeCunha> i'm using Ubuntu 64b
[16:51] <Decepticon> its dhcp

[16:52] <easy> Decepticon, type ifconfig and tell me what is there

[16:55] <dvyjones> Any programs that can put a "widget" on my desktop printing out system info with a low-opacity background?
[16:55] <genius> I have full / which resides on sda1. How to determine which files lie on this partition?
[16:56] <drandoss> Decepticon what kind of network are you getting connection from? Wireless? lan? Router?
[16:56] <tdn> How do I change user details on a system user? (The ones that I am asked when running adduser and that is stored in /etc/passwd)
[16:56] <lacrymology> sudo apt-get install linux-server should work, it should add a new option to your grub menu, and that's it. Your old kernels will still be there
[16:56] <Decepticon> drandoss im supposed to have a idle wlan0 (not connected to a wlan) and a active eth0, via lan, via dhcp
[16:56] <lacrymology> and you're not doing anything to the system itself
[16:56] <cabrioleur> genius, type "mount" and you will see where partitions are mounted. If the file lies withing the mounted path, it is on this particular partition.
[16:57] <Shakedown> I get a dcopserver problem when I try and open Amarok. Anybody familiar with this?
[16:57] <easy> Decepticon, are you using dhcp?
[16:57] <lacrymology> rogerio: you might need to install any modules you added manually, in their linux-server versions
[16:57] <anewson> cabrioleur: unbelievable... i think that might be it, the grub entries are hd0 instead of sd0
[16:57] <Decepticon> easy, for eth0 yes
[16:57] <rogerio> ok
[16:57] <bidi> is there a specific shortcut to switch to, let's say Desktop 3 ?
[16:58] <easy> Decepticon, I suggest you use static connection
[16:58] <cabrioleur> anewson, let's hope that's it.
[16:58] <Decepticon> easy i dont have any choice in this matter

[16:58] <Decepticon> is it becase my wlan card is interfering?
[16:58] <Decepticon> what should i do
[16:58] <maniheer> rogerio, or you can give me the 4GB :D
[16:58] <Decepticon> should i take out my wlan card?
[16:58] <cabrioleur> Kajover, can you give more info?
[16:59] <Kajover> what info do you need?
[16:59] <freebsd_fan> whats missing if i cant see the network management icon?
[16:59] <cabrioleur> Kajover, what tools are you using, what kind of encryption etc.
[16:59] <Kajover> it connects with no encryption (WPA/WPA2 on the router) and it doesnt connect with wpa2
[16:59] <Pici> !ibex | Kajover
[16:59] <Kajover> router is a fritzbox
[17:00] <Kajover> k
[17:00] <anewson> cabrioleur: update-grub will put my new menu.lst in the MBR right?
[17:00] <easy> Decepticon, try using ifup eth0
[17:00] <cabrioleur> anewson, yes, but corrupted one. if it did the first time, it will do it next time as well (that's my expectations)
[17:01] <Decepticon> is that a command i should use?
[17:01] <dvyjones> Any programs that can put a "widget" on my desktop printing out system info with a low-opacity background?
[17:01] <cabrioleur> anewson, update-grub does change your menu.lst. In grub it checks menu.lst every time you reboot
[17:01] <Decepticon> easy it says "ignoring unkown interface eth0=eth0"
[17:01] <rohan> i am trying to use the shipit service, however it gives an error saying "the number of requested CDs was not provided"
[17:02] <anewson> cabrioleur: ahh i didn't know that, k brb wish me luck
[17:02] <cabrioleur> anewson, good luck
[17:02] <easy> Decepticon, which kind of a machine are you using? laptop or Desktop?
[17:02] <rogerio> Sorry but I can't
[17:02] <rogerio> :D
[17:02] <PupUsera1ce1c> 有没有中国人哪？
[17:02] <Decepticon> easy its a desktop,
[17:02] <PupUsera1ce1c> 我看不懂这些鸟语阿？
[17:02] <easy> Decepticon, check where the NIC Card is loose
[17:02] <GlennLap> PupUsera1ce1c: English please
[17:03] <rohan> !cn
[17:03] <Decepticon> easy the nic is integrated
[17:03] <easy> Do you know webmin
[17:03] <Decepticon> easy ubuntu has caught an ip address for itself, i can verify that with ifconfig... and its also recognizing a ip addy for google.com but its getting a very big time to reply (like almost infinite)
[17:04] <Decepticon> easy i cant really install anything if i dont have the internet
[17:04] <rogerio> Thanks every one i'll attempt..
[17:04] <Bilz> hello
[17:04] <rogerio> Thanks maniheer
[17:04] <Bilz> im trying to get the bookmarks from firefox, is it stored in some file? im accessing my account remotely (ssh)
[17:05] <drandoss> decepticon what does Nslookup sit out?
[17:05] <cbk486> hello, I see that flash 10 is available for linux. I installed fp 9 from a tar.gz, can I just run the new one and it'll rewrite over it?
[17:05] <cabrioleur> Decepticon, have you tried power-circle your modem/router?
[17:05] <Decepticon> nsloopkup for google.com gives 64.233.187.99 and 2 other ips
[17:05] <cabrioleur> Decepticon, (kind of naive question)
[17:06] <Decepticon> cabrioleur i dont have a modem router
[17:06] <Vlet> I accidentally wiped a few config files for postgres, so I removed the packaged and then re installed it, but it did not replace the config files. How can I get apt to completely reinstall a package including it's config files?
[17:06] <Decepticon> cabrioleur im connected directly to the wall via lan
[17:06] <Bilz> im trying to get the bookmarks from firefox, is it stored in some file? im accessing my account remotely (ssh)
[17:06] <Decepticon> cabrioleur and getting my ip via dhcp
[17:06] <drandoss> ahh
[17:06] <daklan> Vlet: with the --purge option
[17:07] <easy> Decepticon, type use nano /etc/network/interfaces and configure the eth0 from there
[17:07] <mongolai> Bilz:  look for bookmarks-(some date).json ...
[17:07] <maniheer> rogerio, ur welcome
[17:07] <cabrioleur> Decepticon, are you on the same network right now, with different computer?
[17:07] <giggsey> Does anyone know of any good media centres for ubuntu?
[17:07] <maniheer> damn hes gone
[17:07] <Bilz> mongolai, where should I find it?
[17:07] <maniheer> giggsey, mythbuntu?
[17:08] <Decepticon> easy /etc/network/interfaces says: auto lo; iface lo inet loopback; auto eth0... and thats it (without the commented lines of course)
[17:08] <cabrioleur> giggsey, elysa (if you like something small), mythbuntu (if you like something big)
[17:08] <Decepticon> cabrioleur, i am on a different network on a different computer right now
[17:08] <giggsey> maniheer, I had a quick look at that, and that only seems for TV
[17:08] <mongolai> Bilz:  ~/.mozilla/firefox/(random thing).default/bookmarkbackups  -- the random thing is generated. different for everyone
[17:08] <Kajover> no one answered me in ubuntu+1 so again:
[17:08] <Bilz> ahh cheers
[17:08] <Kajover> hey.. i have problems connecting to my _encrypted_ wireless network - macbook pro (santa rosa), broadcom drivers, 8.10 beta (all updates) didnt use ubuntu before so cant tell if the problem is new.. router is a FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN 7140
[17:08] <daklan> maniheer: Linux MCE is based on kubuntu, if you care to take a look at it
[17:08] <cabrioleur> Decepticon, it looks like your computer is o.k. Do you have any opportunity to connect different computer to your net adapter? It looks like ISP problem.
[17:09] <maniheer> giggsey, there is LinuxMCE but its only 7.10
[17:09] <Pici> Kajover: Then you need to be patient there, the question is offtopic for this channel.
[17:09] <maniheer> 8.10 is about to come out
[17:09] <easy> Decepticon, cool, what is under eth0?
[17:09] <Decepticon> cabrioleur ive used this computer on the connection that ubuntu is using, and it works
[17:09] <tyberion> hello guys! can anyone recommen me a good external soundcard, usb, taht runs fine with ubuntu?
[17:09] <GaMbi_DK> Hi guys.. I need my TV-out!! with "separated X screen" without xinerama: I cant drag to windows to my TV.. with xinerama: Compiz effects dosn't work... Twinview: dont allow me to change desktop without changing TV desktop (removing the video im watching).. also new files to desktop jumps to TV.....    So Id like a "Separate X screen" that allows me to get windows(movies etc) from my monitor and onto my TV... any ideas?
[17:09] <Kajover> patient you have to be young padawan :P
[17:09] <Decepticon> however, when i plug it into ubuntu, i am experiencing the problems i just described
[17:09] <Kajover> alright cu
[17:09] <Decepticon> easy, in /etc/network/interfaces all it says is 'auto eth0'
[17:10] <Decepticon> "#iface eth0 inet dhcp" is commented out
[17:10] <RazorsKiss> ok, here's some fun stuff.
[17:10] <KillerJinn> any app that works very best for yahoo messenger in linux. it seems yahoo messenger does not work by wine? or is there a substitute to use yahoo. i want all or most features of original yahoo messenger , like webcam and voice chat?
[17:10] <crdlb> GaMbi_DK: nope, you've covered all options and correctly stated the disadvantages of each
[17:10] <cabrioleur> Decepticon, have you checked if your IPv6 is enabled? Sometimes it's causing problems.
[17:10] <RazorsKiss> mouse movement displays up and to the left of actual
[17:10] <RazorsKiss> !display
[17:11] <easy> Decepticon, it seems that your eth0 is not configured, contact me via boniemx@gmail.com for more info now
[17:11] <Decepticon> cabrioleur in ifconfig -a, i can see inet6 addr: fe80::206:5bff:fea4:c5c3/64
[17:11] <cabrioleur> KillerJinn, any multi-protocol tool: pidgin, kopete, empathy etc.
[17:11] <GaMbi_DK> crdlb, :) there has to be a simple way to get a window moved to TV (e.g. rightclick -> send to TV)
[17:11] <Decepticon> easy ok
[17:11] <anewson> cabrioleur: no dice
[17:11] <Decepticon> im trying to connect to the ubuntu computer via ssh, and im getting connection refused
[17:11] <jamiejackson> since recent kernel upgrade, i'm getting the SYSTEM BEEP for some stuff, like hitting the backspace key too much. i remember 1+ year ago, i killed this system beep for when i was in the terminal. terminal's still quiet, but this thing's developed in non terminal apps. what's the solution?
[17:12] <crdlb> GaMbi_DK: no, if they're on different screens, that cannot happen
[17:12] <anewson> cabrioleur: i should have mentioned, hardy STARTS to boot, but hangs
[17:12] <cabrioleur> anewson, at what point, and what errors?
[17:12] <ivangarcia> Deception, can u ping that machine ?
[17:12] <anders__> jamiejackson, i disabled the pcspeaker by putting the pcspkr module in the blacklist
[17:12] <GaMbi_DK> crdlb, so my only option at this point is to open the movie on my TV?
[17:12] <jamiejackson> k, looking into that, anders__
[17:12] <anewson> cabrioleur: unfortunately i can't save any of the logs, but it starts saying some stuff about the sd devices
[17:13] <nguyencong> hi
[17:13] <maniheer> jamiejackson, i ripped it out, but the PC didn't work to well after that :D
[17:13] <anewson> cabrioleur: Attached SCSI something to sd1, sd2, etc
[17:13] <cabrioleur> anewson, is your computer right next to you?
[17:13] <maniheer> !hi | nguyencong
[17:13] <anewson> cabrioleur: unfortunately it's this computer, i'm on the livecd now
[17:13] <nguyencong> i want
[17:13] <maniheer> .....
[17:13] <Decepticon> ivangarcia i am getting a ping reply
[17:14] <drandoss> decepticon try this, if anything it will give you more info on your dhcp .... Terminal ->  Sudo dhclient
[17:14] <nguyencong> sorry
[17:14] <KillerJinn> cabrioleur which one gives most features like webcam and voicechat?
[17:14] <cabrioleur> anewson, I will try to recreate error you are heaving.
[17:14] <bidi> ﻿is there a specific shortcut to switch to, let's say Desktop 3 ?
[17:14] <genii> Hmm. "sd1 sd2"   should be something more like sdX1 sdX2 where X is a letter
[17:14] <jamiejackson> looks like before, i solved the terminal beep with: set bell-style visible in /etc/inputrc, but will look into disabling it with blacklist
[17:14] <Decepticon> drandoss, i did it
[17:14] <anewson> genii: yeah it is, sorry that was a really rough recreated error message
[17:14] <cabrioleur> KillerJinn, non of them supports webcam. Kopete does, but I don't think it works with yahoo yet.
[17:14] <erikg> is there a program which lets you switch windows/desktops in X by "sliding" them across the screen?
[17:14] <jamiejackson> anders__: any adverse side effects that you can think of?
[17:14] <Decepticon> drandoss sudo dhclient says "wmaster0: unknown hardware address type 801" and then it says a bunch of normal stuff
[17:15] <nguyencong> hi anewson
[17:15] <anewson> here's a link to my forum post:  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=953322
[17:15] <RazorsKiss> okay, this might be really simple... but it might not.
[17:15] <anewson> hi nguyencong
[17:15] <bidi> ﻿is there a specific shortcut to switch to, let's say Desktop 3 ?
[17:15] <maniheer> nguyencong, have you got a question?
[17:15] <nguyencong> ok
[17:15] <maniheer> you can ask it straight away
[17:15] <jamiejackson> i'll just try "rmmod pcspkr" for a while. thx anders__
[17:16] <RazorsKiss> the cursor displays up and to the left of where it actually is - in every desktop I've tried - fvwm, openbox, fluxbox, and now gnome
[17:16] <KillerJinn> cabrioleur so i cant use webcam in yahoo. while useing linux?
[17:16] <RazorsKiss> which tells me something is wonky with either the video, or the touchpad detection.
[17:16] <GaMbi_DK> maniheer, maybe he is just saying hi? ^^
[17:16] <cabrioleur> jamiejackson, you can simply go to system-preferences-sound and disable it in the last tab.
[17:16] <nguyencong> my question about ubuntu
[17:16] <GaMbi_DK> maniheer, guess not :)
[17:16] <drandoss> decepticon the last 3 on that list are good too see.... wmaster0: unknown hardware address type 801 is always there so dont worrie bout that.   take a look at DHCPREQUEST
[17:17] <maniheer> GaMbi_DK, LOOL
[17:17] <nguyencong> my english is very bad
[17:17] <cabrioleur> KillerJinn, unfortunately, not yet. There are other options: skype, sip (ekiga), etc, but yahoo does not support linux platform.
[17:17] <drandoss> decepticon it should be  showing you what requested address are being made
[17:17] <RazorsKiss> also pluggin in a usb mouse - same issue.
[17:17] <KillerJinn> cabrioleur so no yahoo webcam in linux?
[17:17] <maniheer> nguyencong, where are you from, what is your first language?
[17:17] <cabrioleur> KillerJinn, no, as far as I know.
[17:17] <GaMbi_DK> nguyencong, if your question is about ubuntu.. this is the right channel.. ask away
[17:18] <KillerJinn> cabrioleur k

[17:23] <RazorsKiss> it displays up and to the left of actual - menus, desktop, everywhere.
[17:24] <RazorsKiss> and in multiple desktop managers, as well
[17:24] <Decepticon> hwo do i restart ssh
[17:24] <ivangarcia> Decepticon, check if the answers shows something like /usr/sbin/sshd
[17:24] <kuthux> RazorsKiss: looks like it needs to be calibrated. but i dunno how :D
[17:24] <Decepticon> ivangarcia it doesnt look like ssh is running
[17:24] <RazorsKiss> so it's something wrong in the underlying core.
[17:24] <Decepticon> how can i start ssh
[17:24] <RazorsKiss> or in the driver for the video.  Not sure.
[17:24] <anewson> cabrioleur: see anything suspicious?
[17:24] <ivangarcia> sudo /etc/init.d/ssh restart
[17:24] <nguyencong> sory i am busy
[17:24] <Decepticon> ivangarcia i did that, it says sudo: /etc/init.d/ssh: command not found
[17:25] <ivangarcia> ok, u need to install ssh
[17:25] <Decepticon> i cant
[17:25] <ivangarcia> sudo apt-get install ssh
[17:25] <Decepticon> i dont have the ineternet
[17:25] <nguyencong> see you again
[17:25] <kuthux> !ask | nguyencong
[17:25] <Decepticon> base install doesnt include ssh? thats stupid as hell
[17:25] <cabrioleur> anewson, replace root=UUID=* with root=/dev/sda?
[17:25] <Decepticon> hmm
[17:25] <ivangarcia> hmm, insteresing, well, then u'll have to download some .deb from another machine
[17:25] <ivangarcia> and copy to ur ubuntu machine to install ssh
[17:26] <Kr0ntab> Decepticon: there's no reason why you would need SSH off the bat... unless you're trying to run it as a server...
[17:26] <GaMbi_DK> nguyencong, we know that you dont speak english well.. we know you got a question about ubuntu... what is the question?
[17:26] <Decepticon> fair enough
[17:26] <anewson> cabrioleur: ahh i was changing the grub root (the hd0,1)
[17:26] <anewson> cabrioleur: i'll try that, brb
[17:26] <kuthux> Decepticon: if your box doesn't run ssh-server, then it won't run as a host
[17:27] <Decepticon> kuthux what do you mean run as a host
[17:27] <sqawerlz> I have a problem installing WIne, but I think I'm having a problem with my OS. When i try sudo apt-get install wine I get E: The package index files are corrupted. No Filename: field for package binfmt-support.
[17:27] <Kr0ntab> Decepticon: ssh is on the install disc... you can install from that using apt-get as long as the CD is still part of your sources.
[17:27] <InExile> hoping someone can help me with Totem on Ubuntu before I pick up my computer and throw it our the closest window
[17:27] <kuthux> u're trying to login to a box, so the box must run ssh server

[17:29] <Fzang> my bios is buggy and won't run the kernels found in 2008 versions of linux, does that mean the new ubuntu kernel will just fail on me as well?
[17:29] <esac> the new version of flashplugin-nonfree does not work. i want to go back to the old version. it got fed to me via updates. how can i revert? thanks
[17:29] <cabrioleur> Fzang, yes

[17:34] <Glady> and then I m locked there
[17:34] <realin> hi guys,, how do i install tweet for gnome-do

[17:34] <cabrioleur> InExile, then you don't have to worry about. You can do it.
[17:34] <mongolai> GaMbi_DK:  is your hdd swapping at the time of the lag?
[17:34] <sirjoebob> hello all. I have a windows partition I mount in Ubuntu and wondered how I could change the volume label for it. Do I need to edit the fstab or what?
[17:34] <genii> Glady: Use tab key to make "OK" active then hit Enter
[17:34] <Decepticon> drandoss, i took out the wlan card, but im still getting no ping reply from google.com

[17:34] <mjk> I have an issue with spamassassin and claws-mail that's probably easily fixable. Can anyone help me?
[17:34] <InExile> ok .... I give .... I can do what?
[17:34] <cabrioleur> mjk, what's the problem?
[17:35] <GaMbi_DK> mongolai, the delay is on every type...
[17:35] <mjk> spamassassin either can't communicate with spamd and/or spamd isn't running
[17:35] <Glady> I dont neeed that package
[17:35] <mongolai> GaMbi_DK:  how much RAM do you have?
[17:35] <cabrioleur> Glady, in the blue menu use space and tab to move between elements.
[17:35] <GaMbi_DK> mongolai, dosnt stop before I do a relog
[17:35] <GaMbi_DK> mongolai, 4 gig
[17:35] <InExile> ???????/
[17:35] <Glady> should I cancel the installation?
[17:36] <mjk> cabrioleur, where do I put the spamd daemon so it starts at boot
[17:36] <sqawerlz> I need help installing wine, I'm getting some strange errors. http://paste.ubuntu.com/60173/ please help!
[17:36] <Kr0ntab> InExile: anyway... sorry about the tangent... here's the deal... in order for you to actually play a number of types of media out there... you need to various codecs...
[17:36] <InExile> ok
[17:36] <Kr0ntab> in order for you to play DVD's and such... there are other libraries you need...
[17:36] <InExile> I think I installed all offered by Ubu
[17:36] <drandoss> decepticon  Sudo dhclient  agian, and see if anything has changed
[17:36] <bgola> Hi, anyone using the HP 2133 mini notebook with ubuntu? I'm having some trouble with the webcam (yes, i have already installed the UVC drivers from the Subversion)
[17:36] <Kr0ntab> so.. InExile, make sure you install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[17:37] <bastid_raZor> !medibuntu | InExile
[17:37] <RazorsKiss> think that's strange, try your mouse pointer displaying 75 pixels up and to the left from where it's actually at :D
[17:37] <cabrioleur> mjk, sudo dpkg --configure -a
[17:37] <InExile> I did
[17:37] <cabrioleur> mjk, sorry
[17:37] <Decepticon> drandoss , no numbers have changed
[17:37] <cabrioleur> mjk, /etc/rc.d/init.d/
[17:37] <pushnell> Hey all.  My mpd is 'unable to bind port 6600: Cannot assign requested address', but 'lsof -i4 -P' shows nothing on that port.  How can I troubleshoot this?  (btw I'm sure mpd is not already running.)
[17:37] <GaMbi_DK> mongolai, im not running any heavy programs.. my swap is 8 giggggg
[17:37] <Decepticon> drandoss it just doesnt include the wlan bits
[17:37] <Rocksheep> Hey guys I have an issue with Hardy Heron, it keeps freezing randomly and then I wont be able to do anything but hard reboot. Does anyone here know how to resolve this?
[17:37] <kuthux> sqawerlz: apt-get update before install
[17:37] <drandoss> decepticon  great, ok thats good
[17:37] <sqawerlz> kutlux, I did.
[17:37] <Kr0ntab> it will install a number of very useful packages that make your internet and multimedia experience much more enjoyable and consistent with the rest of the world.
[17:38] <mongolai> GaMbi_DK:  hmmm. usually input lag is caused by system resources being maxed out. is there a runaway process somewhere? Did you configure swap manually?
[17:38] <InExile> ok ... where should I get the extra codecs?
[17:38] <momo_> lamine
[17:38] <Kr0ntab> it's in the repos...
[17:38] <pushnell> Rocksheep: probably the first thing to do is to run a thorough memtest.  Then try different video drivers (if using free, try the proprietary, or vice versa.)
[17:38] <Kr0ntab> InExile: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[17:38] <kuthux> sqawerlz: package index files corrupted,
[17:38] <InExile> :^)
[17:39] <GaMbi_DK> mongolai, no runaways .. config swap? :S
[17:39] <Rocksheep> pushnell, thx i am gonna try that now :O
[17:39] <mjk> cabrioleur, nope that's not the right one
[17:39] <drandoss> decepticon we can rule out that the wlan  card is having anything too do with it at least
[17:39] <sqawerlz> kuthux, ok so how do i fix that?
[17:39] <mjk> cabrioleur, it doesn't exist
[17:39] <Decepticon> drandoss i suppose
[17:39] <kuthux> sqawerlz: try again, or use another repo
[17:39] <Decepticon> drandoss do you think my eth0 is unsupported?
[17:39] <mongolai> GaMbi_DK:  what's top have to say about load average, mem use, swap use, and cpu use?
[17:39] <sqawerlz> the indexes from where i;m trying to downlod are not corrupt. Maybe it is becuase the directory is locked?
[17:39] <InExile> sorry ... <--- newbie ... no idea what ﻿sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras means
[17:39] <cabrioleur> mjk, /etc/init.d
[17:39] <circee> Any one who knows how to prevent gnome-power-manager from monitoring the battery in my wireless mouse?
[17:39] <cabrioleur> mjk, sorry, wrong terminal window :-)
[17:40] <kuthux> sqawerlz: what directory is locked
[17:40] <mjk> cabrioleur, that's where I thought also, but it doesn't start. Rather, that doesn't fix the problem. Let me check if it starts
[17:40] <Kr0ntab> InExile: are you familiar with Synaptic?
[17:40] <InExile> no
[17:40] <sqawerlz> kuthux, h﻿ttp://paste.ubuntu.com/60173/
[17:40] <Kr0ntab> InExile: ah... so you need a crash course in installation of applications....
[17:40] <drandoss> decepticon its possible, few qestions, what company is modem from? Comcast?
[17:40] <sqawerlz> kuthux, if you look it says the directory maybe locked
[17:41] <InExile> my first experience with Linux was yesterday
[17:41] <Kr0ntab> InExile: congrats!  let me PM you....
[17:41] <Clockswork> Found this today downtown, Ubuntu is now in a can http://www.clockswork.org/?p=20
[17:41] <Decepticon> drandoss, its a integrated nic on a dell optiplex gx240
[17:41] <ivangarcia> congratulations InExile
[17:41] <InExile> thx
[17:41] <ivangarcia> did you survive to it?
[17:41] <Clockswork> Gratz InExile
[17:41] <drandoss> decepticon yea but the modem that the cable leads too?
[17:41] <circee> Does anybody know how to prevent gnome-power-manager from monitoring the battery in my wireless mouse?
[17:41] <GaMbi_DK> mongolai, CPU is at 5% and 7% ~ mem is 15% stable swa 0.1% stable
[17:42] <kuthux> sqawerlz: send me the last link
[17:42] <Decepticon> drandoss, there is no modem, im conencted directly from eth0 to the wall via a lan wire
[17:42] <RazorsKiss> Mouse calibration: any idea how I can get my mouse calibrated to display the pointer where it's actually at?
[17:42] <giggsey> I'm trying to boot the livecd on my laptop, and it keeps going to busybox. Any ideas?
[17:42] <drandoss> decepticon so your on like  a school server?
[17:42] <sqawerlz> kuthux i just pmed you the link and ive pasted it several times in this
[17:42] <genii> giggsey: Use the alternate CD
[17:42] <sqawerlz> kuthux ﻿ttp://paste.ubuntu.com/60173/ please help!
[17:42] <Decepticon> drandoss, my apartment complex gives ip out by dhcp, and each of us have a ethernet jack in our rooms
[17:43] <kuthux> sqawerlz: wait
[17:43] <cabrioleur> mjk, add symlink to it in /etc/rcS.d and make sure it starts with capital S
[17:43] <drandoss> decepticon mm k, Gotcha. Yea that leads too quite a few things that could be wrong
[17:43] <cabrioleur> mjk, thank you ubuntu for complexity.
[17:43] <GaMbi_DK> mongolai 4 GiB ram 2x2.66GHZ
[17:43] <Decepticon> drandoss i used to have a debian machine that used to work fine in this same setup last year
[17:43] <mjk> cabrioleur, what will this do
[17:44] <anewson> cabrioleur: back, didn't work =/
[17:44] <RazorsKiss> any idea on how to calibrate a mouse pointer?
[17:44] <mongolai> GaMbi_DK:  hmmm. the only other thing I can think of is perhaps an X issue, or video driver... Does input work in avirtual terminal -- ie Ctrl+Alt+f1?
[17:44] <GaMbi_DK> yeeeee
[17:44] <drandoss> decepticon oh yea it -should- just connect auto... what build now? hardy 8.04?
[17:44] <GaMbi_DK> mongolai,  yea
[17:44] <kuthux> sqawerlz: nothing says directory locked
[17:44] <Decepticon> drandoss, yes
[17:45] <Decepticon> drandoss i had to install hardy 8.04 because of my graphics problem (unsupported geforce fx 5200)
[17:45] <mongolai> GaMbi_DK:  then I'm thinking more of an X or vid driver, but other than that, I dunno.
[17:45] <Decepticon> i was going to get drivers for that card, but haha the internet doesnt work
[17:45] <Decepticon> *i had to install hardy 8.04 ALTERNATE
[17:45] <Clockswork> GaMbi_DK: What is the problem?
[17:46] <Decepticon> using the alternate text cd
[17:46] <sqawerlz> kuthux, i got through the locked error. I killed apt-get. http://paste.ubuntu.com/60177/ Look at my new pastebin
[17:46] <cabrioleur> anewson, do you have different error now?
[17:46] <anewson> no, was the same
[17:46] <anewson> i saw some write errors that scrolled past
[17:47] <anewson> but really it goes too fast to get a good look
[17:47] <cabrioleur> anewson, i see.
[17:47] <GaMbi_DK> mongolai, had to relog.. couldnt take it anymore :P
[17:47] <cabrioleur> anewson, I'm 99% sure it's grub.
[17:47] <mjk> cabrioleur, how exactly do I make a syslink. the readme isn't as descriptive as I would like.
[17:47] <cabrioleur> mjk, run the script at startup. That's all.
[17:47] <drandoss> decepticon hmm, seeing alot of folks in the web with a simalar problem with dhcp setups like yours
[17:48] <anewson> really? i'd think it was the kernel
[17:48] <kuthux> sqawerlz: unmet dependencies,
[17:48] <mjk> cabrioleur, not what it does. How do I make one
[17:48] <anewson> i mean, i can't mount my partitions even when i boot from the livecd
[17:48] <kuthux> sqawerlz: now apt-get autoremove --purge
[17:48] <drandoss> decepticon have you tryed some of the obvious stuff like a static ip?
[17:48] <anewson> seems like the same problem
[17:48] <Decepticon> drandoss, no i havent done that
[17:48] <cabrioleur> mjk, symlink? it's like a shortcut on your file system. ln -s path/to/original /path/to/symlink
[17:49] <GaMbi_DK> mongolai, I think Im gonna do a clean install of ubuntu.. guess I did some mistakes earlier... thx for trying tho :)
[17:49] <Decepticon> drandoss how do i do that
[17:49] <mjk> cabrioleur, right I remember learning about that. Thanks
[17:49] <drandoss> decepticon  k, head too Administration under system... go too Network Tools
[17:49] <kuthux> sqawerlz: move /etc/apt/source.list.d/winehq.list to somewhere else
[17:49] <Decepticon> drandoss i dont have a gui
[17:49] <mongolai> GaMbi_DK:  np. Good luck.
[17:49] <kuthux> sqawerlz: then update again and apt-get install wine
[17:49] <Decepticon> drandoss i dont have a gui because my vidoe card isnt supported, i was trying to get the drivers for it, but my awesome internet doesnt work
[17:50] <drandoss> decepticon heh and the rabbit hole gets deeper. mm k
[17:50] <cabrioleur> Decepticon, did you try vesa drivers?
[17:50] <Decepticon> cabrioleur i dont know how to do that
[17:50] <RazorsKiss> aaaarrrrgh.
[17:50] <RazorsKiss> how do I fix a mouse pointer that doesn't display correct?
[17:50] <RazorsKiss> it's off by like 75 pixels on any desktop manager I use
[17:50] <Decepticon> cabrioleur how do i tell it to use vesa drivers
[17:51] <anewson> RazorsKiss: i'm still not sure i get your problem
[17:51] <kuthux> RazorsKiss: have u try another mice ?
[17:51] <RazorsKiss> yes, kuthux
[17:51] <anewson> how is the mouse always off by 75px? can't you just move the mouse on the mousepad?
[17:51] <kuthux> RazorsKiss: and was it just the same ?
[17:51] <RazorsKiss> anewson, the mouse pointer displays 75 pixels up and to the left of the actual location
[17:51] <RazorsKiss> kuthux, correct.
[17:52] <RazorsKiss> kuthux, also in fvwm, openbox, fluxbox, and now gnome.
[17:52] <cabrioleur> Decepticon, first you have to make backup "sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup1"
[17:52] <kuthux> RazorsKiss: interesting.. but there should be a calibration tool
[17:52] <RazorsKiss> kuthux, it is NOT the desktop manager - it's something in the core system.
[17:52] <RazorsKiss> kuthux, so I assumed :D
[17:52] <RazorsKiss> kuthux, no luck finding it yet.
[17:53] <sqawerlz> kuthux, same error E: The package index files are corrupted. No Filename: field for package binfmt-support.
[17:53] <kuthux> RazorsKiss: i found something about tablet pc calibration, but it's not what we're looking for
[17:53] <cabrioleur> Decepticon, now, "sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf"
[17:53] <drandoss> decepticon ok, we try this then  auto iface eth0 inet dhcp
[17:53] <Decepticon> cabrioleur gotcha
[17:53] <RazorsKiss> anewson, the mouse pointer displays 75 pixels or so to the left and up of where it actually is, like, say, you go into the mouse options, and click "show position when ctrl is depressed"
[17:54] <anewson> enough time has passed i'm going to plug my problem again... hardy is misreading my partition table, and won't boot- check it out here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=953322
[17:54] <RazorsKiss> when you do that, and hit ctrl - it's down and to the right of where the cursor is
[17:54] <Decepticon> drandoss, what lines do i want to replace with this
[17:54] <drandoss> decepticon Then after that do : sudo ifup eth0
[17:54] <RazorsKiss> it's really, really weird.
[17:54] <sqawerlz> kuthux, I did sudo apt-get autoremove --purge and then moved the file you told me to, and ran sudo apt-get install wine but it is still saying E: The package index files are corrupted. No Filename: field for package binfmt-support.
[17:54] <anewson> RazorsKiss: ahhh i see
[17:54] <drandoss> decepticon type as is
[17:54] <Decepticon> on the command line?
[17:54] <RazorsKiss> anewson, this is a very low-memory install
[17:54] <kuthux> sqawerlz: have u update the list yet?
[17:54] <drandoss> decepticon Yea on the command
[17:54] <anewson> RazorsKiss: that's bizzare
[17:54] <Decepticon> drandoss where do i write " auto iface eth0 inet dhcp"
[17:55] <RazorsKiss> anewson, but I'd still like to have a desktop that I can click on without guessing :D
[17:55] <Decepticon> drandoss that seeems like it should go in /etc/network/interafces
[17:55] <anewson> lol well your brain will probably adapt eventually
[17:55] <sqawerlz> kuthux, i did try sudo apt-get update before running sudo apt-get install wine
[17:55] <RazorsKiss> anewson, I've eliminated the particular mouse/tyouchpad as the issue
[17:55] <RazorsKiss> anewson, it isn't gnome - it happens everywhere, in every desktop manager
[17:55] <kuthux> sqawerlz: can u pastebin your sources.list ?
[17:55] <Decepticon> drandoss, my /etc/network/interfaces looks like this right now
[17:55] <Decepticon> http://paste.ubuntu.com/60182/
[17:56] <anewson> RazorsKiss: yeah..bizzare
[17:56] <RazorsKiss> anewson, it's something very, very weird.
[17:56] <RazorsKiss> anewson, it works fien in puppy
[17:56] <sqawerlz> kuthux, yes just a minute
[17:56] <RazorsKiss> *fine
[17:56] <RazorsKiss> but, puppy can't find my wireless card
[17:56] <drandoss> decepticon it just should ensure everything is auto dhcp
[17:56] <drandoss> decepticon and the secound command sudo ifup eth0
[17:56] <xjkx> I am running the livecd and i tried to install wine but it says that there is no more space :S how can i install wine anyway ? I mean, I dididn't install anything else...it shouldn't be happening
[17:56] <RazorsKiss> makes me wanna slap my grandma - because this is like OS install attempt 12-13 at this point :D
[17:56] <marekt> hi i have a problem with playing video files, they are awfully slow processed, although i have nice laptop, i think it is because configuration of xorg.conf, because recently i used xfix, can you tell me how aaan i change it?
[17:56] <Decepticon> drandoss i still dont understand where you want me to stick "auto iface eth0 inet dhcp", this is a command?
[17:57] <marekt> or rather what should i write there?
[17:57] <RazorsKiss> _trying_ to find something other than windows that can use work.
[17:57] <anewson> .list
[17:57] <drandoss> decepticon  yea its a terminal command..
[17:57] <RazorsKiss> *actually work
[17:57] <Decepticon> drandoss no sudo required for the 1st command?
[17:57] <drandoss> decepticon  uh you may need a sudo
[17:58] <RazorsKiss> nobody have any ideas? :/
[17:58] <drandoss> decepticon  try it and if it doesnt go through use a sudo ;)
[17:58] <errr> I am trying to listen to amarok and also use twinkle (soft phone) but for what ever reason if I am listenign to music in amarok twinkle can not access the sound card for the mic or the sound. Any idea why?
[17:58] <Decepticon> drandoss ... i did 'sudo auto iface eth0 inet dhcp' and it says 'sudo: auto: command not found"
[17:58] <Decepticon> that didnt seem like a command to me
[17:58]  * kuthux ninja rantaro \:D/
[17:59] <drandoss> decepticon mm
[17:59] <Decepticon> drandoss its very likely thats supposed to be put into /etc/network/interfaces
[17:59] <Decepticon> i just dont know what to replace or delete from my current /etc/network/interfaces file which looks like http://paste.ubuntu.com/60182/
[18:00] <Hawered> Hello, I have used Ubuntu for quite some time now and about an hour ago installed it on this computer. The resolution is horible and gives me only two options. I want options for larger resolutions and the colors are aslo very bad. Any ideas?

[18:01] <drandoss> decepticon  ok yea, sorry thats too be added too your  /ect/network/interfaces
[18:01] <xjkx> abchirk: funny thing is that apt-get remove cries that there is no more space and do not uninstall evolutiion, lol
[18:01] <Jonny> Ubuntu doesn't have any official packages for JavaEE does it?
[18:01] <kuthux> sqawerlz: i'll check it out
[18:01] <sqawerlz> kuthux, sorry I did the same thing and I got the same error as before about a dependency.
[18:01] <anewson> G__81: open synaptic, search flash, see which one you have installed... if you're using the free one, try the nonfree
[18:01] <Decepticon> drandoss, are you sure its to be added, does it not replace some line in /etc/network/interfaces... where do i put it in my file ( my file looks like http://paste.ubuntu.com/60182/ )
[18:01] <abchirk> xjkx :-! try to make apt-clean.... or delete some file by hand in /var/apt/cache/archives
[18:01] <G__81> anewson, using the nonfree
[18:01] <abchirk> xjkx /var/cache/apt/archives
[18:02] <anewson> anewson: then i'm not sure =/ sorry... you could try the free one
[18:02] <xjkx> abchirk: you sure its the right path ? didnt work here
[18:02] <sqawerlz> kuthux, http://paste.ubuntu.com/60184/

[18:02] <abchirk> xjkx see last path ;)
[18:02] <MarkRichman> I have many sequentially numbered pieces of a file a1.txt a2.txt a3.txt etc....how do i concatenate them?
[18:03] <abchirk> xjkx how big is your harddisk?
[18:03] <kuthux> sqawerlz: the libasound2 version is conflicting
[18:03] <Decepticon> does the server version of ubuntu have a gui?
[18:03] <anewson> MarkRichman: try cat?
[18:03] <[gloom]> hi
[18:04] <xjkx> abchirk: i am running a livecd so i think thats not important, anyway i have a 60gb and a 80gb
[18:04] <abchirk> xjkx ... ;)
[18:04] <anewson> MarkRichman: cat file1 file2 >> newfile.txt
[18:04] <sqawerlz> kuthux, yeah it appears that way. What to do?
[18:04] <MarkRichman> anewson: can i glob them and preserve the order? some of these are in 100 pieces
[18:04] <abchirk> xjkx if you like it, install it. :P
[18:04] <kuthux> sqawerlz: get the version that required by wine
[18:04] <smoovep> eth1 not showing up in ifconfig
[18:04] <xjkx> abchirk: ;)
[18:04] <sqawerlz> kuthux, how?
[18:04] <anewson> MarkRichman: not sure, try a cat *.txt see what happens
[18:05] <[gloom]> I have installed ubuntu-desktop on an ubuntu server, and I have removed the links in the runlevels, so I can start gnome manually. The problem is that when I try to stop gnome with /etc/init.d/gdm stop, it keeps starting again autmatically. Is there a way to stop it cleanly, (not killing the process)???
[18:05] <kuthux> sqawerlz: if it's not on the current repo, then try another.
[18:05] <smoovep> Can someone assist.. eth1 not showing up.. but i do see it loaded as e100 in lspci or dmesg.. Thanks..
[18:05] <[gloom]> Decepticon: yeah, just install the package ubuntu-desktop
[18:05] <kuthux> sqawerlz: or u can remove the current libasound2, then update, and try to install again
[18:06] <LuYu> has anyone had firefox refuse to start in hardy?
[18:06] <sqawerlz> kuthux, I get what i need to do, im just not sure exactly how?
[18:06] <[gloom]> smoovep: have you tried sudo ifconfig eth1 up?
[18:06] <LuYu> well, a process starts, but i dont see anything on the desktop
[18:06] <jimcooncat> MarkRichman: , it should, but you need to watch out for file2.txt being put in after file19.txt -- file02.txt and file19.txt would work right
[18:06] <kunwon1> MarkRichman, maybe something like..    for i in `find`; do cat $i >> ~/concatenated_files.txt; done
[18:07] <kuthux> sqawerlz: before doing that, are u in an upgrade right now ( which required restart for some upgrade package)
[18:07] <kunwon1> MarkRichman, but can't have anything but text files to be concatenated in the directory where you run that command
[18:07] <puma472> hi
[18:07] <sqawerlz> kuthux, no.
[18:07] <MarkRichman> kunwon1: oh
[18:07] <puma472> pidgin allways open the IRC clinet
[18:08] <kuthux> sqawerlz: ok then are there any upgrade notification on the top panel ?
[18:08] <sqawerlz> kuthux, no
[18:08] <drandoss> decepticon  well your config already has the auto
[18:08] <drandoss> decepticon  try the Command sudo ifup eth0
[18:08] <kunwon1> MarkRichman, if the directories are filled with clutter, you could refine the find command, man find
[18:08] <kuthux> sqawerlz: so your system should be up to date
[18:08] <sqawerlz> kuthux, yeah
[18:09] <Decepticon> drandoss 'sudo ifup eth0' gives 'Ignoring unknown interface eth0=eth0.'
[18:09] <sqawerlz> kuthux, can i just run sudo apt-get remove libasound2
[18:09] <kuthux> sqawerlz, wait
[18:09] <pharmsj4> i am having probelms deleting stuff from trash. They're big files (deleted from an external hard drive) and they are not located in ~./local/shared/trash or ~/.Trash and they are wasting a lot of drive space. When i try to delete them from Nautilus i get permission denied. where can i find them to delete them?
[18:09] <kuthux> sqawerlz: try another repo first
[18:09] <drandoss> decepticon  Ahhhhh ok... one moment think I got the fix
[18:10] <sqawerlz> kuthux, i get it, but how to do switch to another repo/
[18:10] <kuthux> sqawerlz: the wine package depends on later version than the repo has
[18:10] <abchirk> pharmsj4 is the dribe stil connected to your PC?
[18:10] <abchirk> *drive
[18:10] <puma472> ?
[18:10] <puma472> ?
[18:10] <abchirk> !
[18:10] <puma472> what 2 do
[18:11] <puma472> pidgin allways open the IRC clinet
[18:11] <pharmsj4> abchirk, yes
[18:11] <pharmsj4> abchirk, but they show up in trash:// or whatever nautilus calls it.
[18:11] <anewson> enough time has passed i'm going to plug my problem again... hardy is misreading my partition table, and won't boot- please check it out here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=953322

 che toi capo or pressing the tradutor of google by q do not understand a cock of this country canl q?
[18:15] <puma472> I RUN N,Y
[18:15] <abchirk> pharmsj4 maybe you can run nautilus as sudo and try then to delete them
[18:15] <Decepticon> drandoss i did those 2 command sa couple of of times, and now ping google.com gets a ip but takes infinite time to reply... this is just like the situation before
[18:16] <soundray> abchirk: please recommend gksudo with graphical programs
[18:16] <Kr0ntab> smoovep: how many NIC's do you have?
[18:16] <smoovep> 2
[18:16] <abchirk> ok sorry.
[18:16] <FACUNDO> q che of the country you are from argentina I soi
[18:16] <Kr0ntab> ok... and is eth0 working?
[18:16] <drandoss> decepticon  mm k, were getting there though... narrowing all the things down.... static Ip will be last resort
[18:16] <puma472> I RUN N,Y
[18:16] <smoovep> Kr0ntab : yes
[18:16] <drandoss> decepticon ifconfig eth0 down dhcp  then do ifconfig eth0 up dhcp
[18:17] <drandoss> decepticon then try google agian
[18:17] <Kr0ntab> smoovep: lshw -C net
[18:17] <smoovep> yes, that works ..
[18:17] <Kr0ntab> that will show you some detailed info about the cards....
[18:17] <sani> Just got 8.04 installed, how can I get wine working on it?
[18:17] <FACUNDO> you are in Canada or the U.S. ????
[18:17] <soundray> sani: 'sudo apt-get install wine'
[18:17] <soundray> !wine | sani
[18:17] <kunwon1> pharmsj4, something like kdirstat might be helpful
[18:17] <kuthux> sani sudo apt-get install wine
[18:17] <kuthux> :D
[18:17] <abchirk> sani install it via synaptic or a other package manager :)
[18:17] <sani> ow :D
[18:17] <Kr0ntab> smoovep: that command will tell you the logical names the cards are identified by...
[18:17] <Gtec> hey
[18:18] <FACUNDO> NO en tieno nadaaaaaa
[18:18] <kuthux> sani m/f ? =))
[18:18] <Gtec> i got a small question on linux

[18:18] <FACUNDO>  q kilovooooooo
[18:18] <kunwon1> !es | FACUNDO
[18:18] <sani> what kuthux
[18:18] <Decepticon> drandoss i did 'sudo ifconfig eth0 down dhcp' and it complains 'dhcp: unkown host" and "ifconfig: --help gives usage information"
[18:18] <smoovep> Kr0ntab: The card is loaded as module e100 .. i can see it also as intel under lspci and dmesg... but nothing under ifconfig
[18:19] <kuthux> sani :D
[18:19] <puma472> THERE IS NO ANSWURE FOR
[18:19] <puma472> pidgin allways open the IRC clinet
[18:19] <sani> :E
[18:19] <drandoss> decepticon intresting
[18:19] <Kr0ntab> smoovep: did you run that command I told you?
[18:19] <abchirk> puma472 maybe delete the IRCaccount?
[18:19] <Kr0ntab> smoovep: lspci -C net
[18:19] <puma472> no
[18:19] <sekyourbox> how do you completely uninstall Firefox.  I tried to do it with synaptic but it didnt work
[18:19] <kuthux> puma472: what's exactly your problem ?
[18:19] <Kr0ntab> it will list your installed network cards... ad their logical names...
[18:19] <smoovep> Kr0ntab: yes. and it shows logical name eth1 ..
[18:20] <kunwon1> sekyourbox, see the --purge argument to aptitude
[18:20] <Kr0ntab> okay... type ifconfig eth1
[18:20] <sekyourbox> I dont think its in aptitude
[18:20] <GaMbi_DK> Im about to download EnvyNG-kgt.. is there a way to check what version im about to download? (command used: sudo apt-get install envyng-ktg)
[18:20] <soundray> sekyourbox: the ubuntu-desktop package depends on firefox -- best to keep it around. Why do you want to remove it?
[18:20] <smoovep> Kr0ntab: Yep.. its there.. if i reboot, will it go away?
[18:20] <kuthux> puma472: u can choose what protocol to use in pidgin. several protocol can work simultaneously
[18:20] <puma472> wen i run pidgin. it is allways run the irc clinet
[18:21] <kuthux> puma472: click on accounts, then manage accounts
[18:21] <Kr0ntab> smoovep: it just means your nic is not configured or turn on.  "ifconfig eth1" demonstrates that your NIC is there... you just need to do something with it.
[18:21] <sekyourbox> soundray, its messed up, the forward and back button dont work, and the navigation bar only shows the first page you type in.
[18:21] <kuthux> puma472: configure it as your needs
[18:21] <Kr0ntab> smoovep: what is your goal.. if eth0 is up and working...  what do you want to do with eth1?
[18:22] <smoovep> Kr0ntab: i want it to be my main NIC .. dhcp
[18:22] <puma472> kuthux: where the account at to change it?
[18:22] <drandoss> decepticon kk, try this sudo dhclient eth0
[18:22] <kuthux> puma472: click on accounts, then manage accounts
[18:22] <Kr0ntab> smoovep: cool.. then you need to configure it as your primary NIC...
[18:22] <anewson> enough time has passed i'm going to plug my problem again... hardy is misreading my partition table, and won't boot- please check it out here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=953322
[18:22] <soundray> sekyourbox: you might try and fix it by deleting your configuration directory
[18:22] <Kr0ntab> smoovep: brb mate...
[18:23] <puma472> kuthux:no accounts show
[18:23] <pharmsj4> abchirk, got it, it had moved to another partition .Trash-1000, thanks!
[18:23] <sekyourbox> soundray, do you know the correct location for that?
[18:23] <Decepticon> drandoss, i did, it gave a bunch of messages of listening on, sending on, dhcprequest of, and dhcppack of, and then bound to 64.238.186.178
[18:23] <abchirk> pharmsj4 np :)
[18:23] <puma472> kuthux:account are at pidgin? no?
[18:23] <soundray> sekyourbox: exit firefox and run   mkdir ~/firefox-backup ; mv ~/.mozilla/*.default ~/firefox-backup
[18:23] <smoovep> drandoss: dhclient eth1 shows Network is Down .. but all the lites are up on the card
[18:23] <kuthux> puma472: pidgin main menu
[18:23] <soundray> sekyourbox: sorry, mistake

[18:24] <puma472> main menu not showed at all
[18:24] <kuthux> puma472: click the icon on tray to view main menu
[18:24] <klaxian> X/gnome seems to be crashing or freezing during login.  does anyone know how I can find out what is causing that?
[18:24] <sekyourbox> cannot stat `/home/user/.mozilla/*.default': No such file or directory
[18:24] <complexity> anyone know the path to X11/libs
[18:24] <soundray> sekyourbox: please see my correction ^^
[18:24] <puma472> its automatic run the irc
[18:25] <drandoss> decepticon no google ping?
[18:25] <kuthux> puma472: the accounts config is in ~/.purple/accounts.xml
[18:25] <Decepticon> drandoss its doing the same thing. it knows the ip but its taking an infinite time to get a reply
[18:25] <kuthux> puma472: u can easily edit from pidgin menu
[18:25] <drandoss> smoovep did you mean too direct that too me?
[18:25] <soundray> klaxian: log into a failsafe session and examine ~/.xsession-errors
[18:25] <gaintsura> hey all, Last night when the system upgrades came out (at least on my system) I went and installed them, but now the updated linux-image-2.6.24-21-generic is considered a broken package (which broke 2 other packages and is preventing the rest of my system from updating) could anyone help me fix this?
[18:26] <sekyourbox> mv: cannot stat `/home/user/.mozilla/*.default': No such file or directory
[18:26] <klaxian> soundray: i did that, but nothing looks too problematic there
[18:26] <kuthux> puma472: from buddy list, press ctrl+a
[18:26] <kuthux> puma472: that's it
[18:26] <soundray> sekyourbox: I'm sorry, I made a mistake. The second version I posted was correct. I'll put it in again:
[18:26] <soundray> sekyourbox: exit firefox and run   mkdir ~/firefox-backup ; mv ~/.mozilla/firefox/*.default ~/firefox-backup
[18:26] <[gloom]> does anyonw know how to prevent gnome to start automatically after doing /etc/init.d/gdm stop?
[18:26] <puma472> kuthux: can i run this command (~/.purple/accounts.xml) from address bar?
[18:27] <kuthux> puma472: no, that's the config file
[18:27] <kuthux> puma472: can u view the pidgin's buddy list ?
[18:27] <puma472> no
[18:28] <sekyourbox> restarting...
[18:28] <kuthux> puma472: do u see pidgin's icon on tray ?
[18:28] <soundray> klaxian: have you been able to login successfully before this problem occurred, or is this a fresh installation?
[18:28] <macvr> hi all....    is this file always present? ~/.local/share/Trash/info/cd.trashinfo ???
[18:28] <puma472> no
[18:28] <kuthux> puma472: are u running pidgin now ?
[18:28] <puma472> im under xp right no
[18:29] <Scunizi> kuthux: interesting that passwords are in the clear for accounts listed in ~/.purple/accounts.xml
[18:29] <mongolai> sekyourbox had the wrong directory...
[18:29] <klaxian> soundray: i was able to successfully log in in hardy, but i just upgraded to intrepid (i know this isn't the right channel).  my laptop runs intrepid fine, but i cna't log in to my desktop now
[18:29] <puma472> i can't even change server
[18:29] <soundray> mongolai: I know, my mistake
[18:29] <kuthux> Scunizi: that's how i login as my friend's account :D
[18:29] <Kr0ntab> smoovep: in /etc/network/interfaces you should have one line that says "auto eth0"... just change that to "auto eth1"... reboot... and make sure your e100 nic is plugged in...
[18:29] <klaxian> soundray: i tried making a new user also...no luck
[18:29] <puma472> kuthux: i can't even change server
[18:29] <soundray> klaxian: the wonders of beta software
[18:29] <kuthux> puma472: u have to run pidgin to do what i said
[18:30] <mongolai> soundray:  did s/he log of?
[18:30] <klaxian> soundray: perhaps, but i've had it working on several other computers.  i was just hoping for a way to figure out what is actually crashing so i can remove it
[18:30] <soundray> mongolai: yes, I think s/he read my correction the second time around
[18:30] <macvr>  hi all....    is this file always present? ~/.local/share/Trash/info/cd.trashinfo ??? could someone check if this file exists in their setup?
[18:30] <puma472> ok. but i can't change server to access to this channel
[18:30] <drandoss> decepticon yup theres the problem Im figuring the dhcprequest and ppack need too be on...
[18:31] <soundray> klaxian: difficult, if there's nothing in .xsession-errors
[18:31] <klaxian> soundray: the .xsession-errors file looks the same as another computer i have except it just stops half way through.  the last line is "x-session-manager[6702]: WARNING: Application 'gnome-wm.desktop' failed to regi..."
[18:31] <TheFiller> Is there another driver than fglrx for HD 4850 cards that allow for hardware acceleration? I had some problems with this driver.
[18:31] <Decepticon> drandoss how do i do that
[18:31] <smoovep> i get .. siocsifflags connection timed out
[18:31] <Decepticon> drandoss im starting to give up and wanting to resinstall
[18:31] <sekyourbox> firefox is really broken now
[18:31] <drandoss> decepticon workin on it for terminal
[18:31] <soundray> sekyourbox: how?
[18:31] <sekyourbox> Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system.
[18:31] <mongolai> macvr:  no. not here
[18:32] <sekyourbox> --did restart
[18:32] <sekyourbox> tried killall firefox
[18:32] <kuthux> Scunizi: so don't let anyone reach your box when u logged in via pidgin
[18:32] <soundray> klaxian: you could reset your gnome configuration with gconftool --recursive-unset /
[18:32] <macvr> mongolai:  ~/.local/share/Trash/info/cd.trashinfo so can i delete this file?
[18:32] <mongolai> sekyourbox:  dir you try a killall firefox?
[18:32] <soundray> sekyourbox: did you run firefox as sudo?
[18:32] <mongolai> macvr:  I don't know.
[18:32] <klaxian> soundray: i made a brand new user so that i could test with default settings and it still didn't work
[18:32] <sekyourbox> mongolai, look up
[18:33] <puma472> kuthux: better to reinstall pidgin?
[18:33] <Scunizi> kuthux: no kidding.. how do you prevent someone "reaching" my box.. remotely I assume.. not physically there.
[18:33] <mongolai> sekyourbox:  sorry. missed it...
[18:33] <Decepticon> drandoss do you have somethjing or should i just reinstall
[18:33] <klaxian> soundray: i'm just not sure how to troubleshoot this one
[18:33] <kuthux> puma472: no need
[18:33] <sekyourbox> soundray, same error as sudo
[18:33] <kuthux> puma472: are u running pidgin right now ?
[18:33] <puma472> no no
[18:33] <soundray> sekyourbox: that was a question, not a suggestion
[18:33] <sekyourbox> oh
[18:33] <pdlnhrd> is there a command line utility that converts windows newline feeds to unix line feeds?
[18:33] <soundray> sekyourbox: you should never, ever run 'sudo firefox'. It *will* break
[18:33] <[gloom]> does anyonw know how to prevent gnome to start automatically after doing /etc/init.d/gdm stop?
[18:33] <mongolai> sekyourbox:  did you get the correction of the ~/.mozilla/firefox/(whatever).default?
[18:34] <sekyourbox> lol, thanks
[18:34] <kuthux> puma472: so how can we do if your pidgin is not running? how can u see the main menu if u don't run it ?
[18:34] <kuthux> puma472: it's not gonna work
[18:34] <puma472> kuthux: i can't access to this channel from ubuntu

[18:39] <soundray> sekyourbox: what version of Ubuntu do you have?
[18:39] <noodlesgc> ozzloy either you have not upgraded your kernel or you have not booted off of the new one. press esc when grub is loading and see the list of installed kernels
[18:39] <sekyourbox> mongolai, I couldnt use the back and forward button, the default webpage wouldnt load, navigation bar would only display what is typed in...
[18:39] <ozzloy> actually my real goal is to get VirtualBox working
[18:39] <Aberrant> fdisk -l returned nothing when running from LiveCD.  The Partition tool didn't see any of my drives either (suspect same issue).  Suspecting my motherboard isn't supported - where can I confirm that (P35 intel MB)

[18:40] <ozzloy> noodlesgc: i checked as i booted, i'm booting the latest kernel listed in grub.  and the updater says nothing
[18:40] <noodlesgc> !es | Ades
[18:40] <ozzloy> noodlesgc: i'm running a Dell with Ubuntu on it though.  might that affect it?
[18:40] <soundray> klaxian: you can bypass gdm to check: Ctrl-Alt-F2 for text mode, log in and run startx
[18:40] <sekyourbox> soundray, how do i get my exact version?
[18:40] <ozzloy> if so, how do i convert this box to a full on ubuntu box without wiping/reinstalling?

[18:40] <klaxian> soundray: ctrl-alt-f2 doesn't work, the keyboard is unresponsive
[18:40] <Scunizi> ozzloy: you trying to get vbox working now or are you working on a different issue?
[18:41] <noodlesgc> ozzloy no, that should not be a problem. check in Software Sources and see if the correct updates are checked

[18:41] <ozzloy> noodlesgc: i'll check that.
[18:41] <ozzloy> Scunizi: i'm very much trying to get vbox working
[18:41] <Decepticon> drandoss i did that, and tried ifconfig eth0 down and then up, and pinged google. and im still getting infinite reply time

[18:41] <soundray> sekyourbox: can you try 'firefox -safe-mode'
[18:41] <mongolai> sekyourbox:  did you try:  firefox -safe-mode    in a terminal?
[18:42] <sekyourbox> mongolai, no but i lost power
[18:42] <sekyourbox> mongolai, no
[18:42] <sekyourbox> soundray, no
[18:42] <mongolai> soundray:  same time suggestion ;)
[18:42] <[gloom]> abchirk: No. this computer starts in console mode. I can start gdm manually with /etc/init.d/gdm start. The problem comes when I try to stop gnome and gdm. I type /etc/init.d/gdm stop, and it starts automatically again. Is like a failsafe for the GUI....
[18:43] <sekyourbox> soundray, not sure where to get into safe mode,
[18:43] <soundray> sekyourbox: both mongolai and I gave you the *exact* command
[18:43] <ozzloy> Scunizi: software sources has all the sources checked
[18:44] <sekyourbox> sorry
[18:44] <Scunizi> ozzloy: if it's installed and you're getting kernel errors search synaptic for virtualbox and you'll see the appropriate kernel driver to load with your current kernel.
[18:44] <sekyourbox> soundray, same error
[18:44] <sekyourbox> mongolai, same error
[18:44] <soundray> sekyourbox: hm, very unusual
[18:44] <noodlesgc> ozzloy did you check the updates tab of software sources
[18:44] <mongolai> sekyourbox:  what's the output from:  ps -ef | grep firefox?
[18:44] <JuJuBee> I have kind of a crazy question.  I sometimes need my students to not have access to any websites other than a select few (3).

[18:46] <noodlesgc> ozzloy so is the error that virtualbox gives is that you dont have the correct modules?

[18:47] <sekyourbox> Please restart all running instances of Firefox-3.0, or you will experience problems.
[18:47] <Scunizi> ozzloy: noodlesgc you need the "virtualbox-ose-guest-modules-2.6.24-21-generic" in Synaptic
[18:47] <ozzloy> noodlesgc: no, i haven't installed virtualbox because aptitude search virtualbox|grep `uname -r` is an empty set
[18:47] <gambi> sorry.. forgot the command for checking version :) apt-cache (what here) [package]
[18:47] <soundray> sekyourbox: but it did reinstall?
[18:48] <sekyourbox> soundray, yes
[18:48] <soundray> sekyourbox: see if it made a difference
[18:48] <noodlesgc> ozzloy i g2g but I think Scunzini can help

[18:49] <sekyourbox> ok clean wipe of system?
[18:49] <Scunizi> ozzloy: so you installed vbox and you get an error.. have you installed the module I mentioned yet?
[18:50] <ozzloy> no, i have not install vbox
[18:50] <Scunizi> ozzloy: ok.. the one you want is on the vbox site.. not the one in synaptic..
[18:50] <soundray> sekyourbox: you could run more diagnostics, but if reinstalling is an option for you, I'm all for it
[18:50] <kevin__> gos sux. agree?
[18:50] <soundray> sekyourbox: is it a fresh installation?

[18:53] <mongolai> sekyourbox:  did you try to delete the .parentlock file?
[18:53] <ozzloy> Scunizi: the first thing it tells me to do is apt-get install virtualbox-ose-modules-`uname -r`, but no such package exists
[18:54] <Scunizi> ozzloy: here's a better tutorial http://www.ubuntu-unleashed.com/2008/04/howto-install-virtualbox-in-hardy-heron.html
[18:54] <ozzloy> Scunizi: oh cool.  looks promising.  thanks

[18:55] <Scunizi> ozzloy: np.. that last page you were looking at you didn't read it all. further down talks about getting the package directly from vbox which I think is what the new tutorial does.
[18:55] <derekjww> sry
[18:55] <mongolai> sekyourbox:  try deleting .parentlock   it's in the *.default folder. that might do it
[18:55] <sekyourbox> mongolai, There is no default folder

[18:56] <derekjww> thx
[18:56] <sekyourbox> mongolai, There is none
[18:56] <sekyourbox> mongolai, didnt create one
[18:57] <mongolai> sekyourbox:  no file called .parentlock     not even with a ls -a
[18:57] <Scunizi> ozzloy: the repo version doesn't have usb support that's the primary difference.. Aside from the version of the package which is newer on the vbox site.
[18:57] <ozzloy> yeah, i don't care about usb in this case
[18:57] <keith_> anyone capable of helping me out with wifi?

[18:57] <soundray> mongolai: might it be worth trying with a new user?
[18:58] <ozzloy> although the mismatch on the kernel version is a bit odd to me.
[18:58] <JetSilver> TheFiller: There is also one you can get from ATI, but that takes a bit more effort to install.

[18:59] <mongolai> sekyourbox:  heh! it was worth a shot :)  I gotta go for now. good luck
[19:00] <TheFiller> JetSilver: Thank you for your response. I guess the link you gave me is for installing the one from ATI, right?
[19:00] <sekyourbox> mongolai, thanks for your help
[19:00] <MalfermitaKodo> Blinkiz: what kind of file?
[19:00] <JetSilver> TheFiller: Yes - I am trying to find that one that installs the very latest drivers.
[19:00] <ozzloy> ok, can someone help me figure out why i have 2.6.24-19-generic instead of 2.6.24-21-generic
[19:00] <ozzloy> ?
[19:00] <getyamindrit> Is it possible that someone could help me get the sound working on my asus p5q-em motherboard. the audio chipset is realtek alc1200 and I'me running 8.10 with all the updates.
[19:00] <soundray> sekyourbox: I would create a new user, log in under the new name and try firefox as that. That will definitely tell you whether the problem is system-wide or just in your $HOME
[19:01] <ozzloy> more to the point, how do i get 2.6.24-21-generic?
[19:01] <TheFiller> JetSilver: Just to give a little more information: mythtv, the video capturing software, gives me a very weird screen when started, which makes it unusable. I guess it's an opengl issue caused by the driver.

[19:02] <scientus> its all downloaded
[19:02] <JetSilver> TheFiller: Ahh, you got me there. Not tried Myth (on the to-do list!)

[19:13] <annkas> how do I mount my harddrive when I have booted on an Ubuntu cd?
[19:13] <unop> xodeus, that depends on how fast your CPU is, how fast your harddrives are, how much RAM you have, etc - let's say about an hour
[19:13] <chillitom> xodeus, i think it depends a lot on the data and fragmentation of the drive
[19:13] <xodeus> thanks then...
[19:14] <AlexKarev> Thanks anyway guys.
[19:14] <ra_> join #ubuntu
[19:14] <soundray> annkas: open a terminal and type 'sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt'. To find the proper device name instead of /dev/sda1, type 'sudo fdisk -l' and see if you can identify your Ubuntu partition.

[19:19] <kunwon1> le_ming, you make a script in /etc/init.d/ and then put symlinks to it in all the rc directories, if you want it to run for all runlevels

[19:23] <a1>  HOW to see user-list in x chat Plaese?
[19:23] <kunwon1> a1, are you using xchat or gnome-xchat?
[19:24] <a1> xchat
[19:24] <jovaro> JetSilver, ok, thanks. But I shouldn't be getting that many hits, there is nothing interesting on my site....
[19:24] <soundray> lakitu: could it be that your computer, unbeknownst to you, is booting from (hd1)?
[19:24] <mongolai> al view>userlist
[19:24] <jovaro> My router shows lots of dropped packages as well
[19:24] <kunwon1> a1, ctrl+f7
[19:24] <a1>  gnome-xcha
[19:24] <lakitu> soundray: evidently it is - but why, after i reinstalled grub?
[19:24] <jovaro> could that be a really lame ddos or something?
[19:24] <a1> sry
[19:24] <a1>  gnome-xcha
[19:24] <kunwon1> a1, get regular xchat, gnome xchat doesn't have a userlist feature as far as I can tell
[19:25] <JetSilver> jovaro: Yes. Time to get a firewall. I use Firewall Builder. Nice GUI and easy to use and reconfigure.
[19:25] <a1> tnx
[19:25] <lakitu> soundray: oh, do you mean i have to change it in the bios?
[19:25] <lakitu> BIOS
[19:25] <soundray> lakitu: if grub installed itself to the master boot record of (hd0), but your BIOS only ever reads the MBR of (hd1), that would explain the problem
[19:25] <annkas> soundray, dev/sda2 and dev/sda5 seem to be partitions on my harddrive - but I cant mount it. sda2 is reported as extended and sda5 Linux LVM - I can't mount them. What do I do?

[19:57] <kunwon1> hi symore_ubuntu
[19:57] <javierg> How hard is it to install Windows Vista with a stripe raid on two seperate hard drives, while leaving the original Ubuntu installation (and hard drive) still working?
[19:57] <symore_ubuntu> howdy
[19:57] <euxneks> :)
[19:57] <Lordveda> to Linux or to ubuntu?
[19:57] <symore_ubuntu> may i ask for some help ?

[19:58] <anewso1> here's my livecd dmesg... you can see some hard drive errors: http://pastebin.com/m57f8680b
[19:58] <Lordveda> symore_ubuntu: that question is for you
[19:58] <symore_ubuntu> thanks i created a website in root /var/www for an intranet site but i can't seem to be able to ftp to the root of the site
[19:59] <Strife89> Woah! I tried changing my resolution from 1024x768 to 800x600, then I tried to activate Desktop Effects (the latter failed). I had to download an NVidia Legacy Driver and reboot; now I can't change my resolution back.
[19:59] <kunwon1> symore_ubuntu, assuming you installed apache to create a website, you'd also need an ftp daemon to support ftp
[19:59] <DaveKong> what would be the effect of running a 32 bit OS in virtualbox from 64-bit Ubuntu? Can this be done? and vise versa?
[19:59] <anewso1> soundray: check out the errors around lines 400-500
[19:59] <genii> Falcons_roost: If you mean to find files which are using a lot of space then Oli``'s suggestion is easiest graphically
[19:59] <symore_ubuntu> i did install proftp server
[20:00] <Strife89> The graphics card is a RIVA TNT2, if I'm not mistaken. Can anyone suggest a way to upsize my resolution again?
[20:00] <soundray> anewso1: seen them, looks worrying, but I can't claim any ability to make sense of it all
[20:00] <kunwon1> symore_ubuntu, did you configure it? see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=79588
[20:00] <csilk> Strife89,  isn't an old card?
[20:00] <csilk> like, really old
[20:00] <csilk> ?
[20:01] <Strife89> csilk: Truth be told, *all* of my hardware is old. :)

[20:01] <symore_ubuntu> pardon pur ftp
[20:01] <Falcons_roost> What can i do to lean that up
[20:01] <csilk> Strife89, oh tire, do you have the grfx driver installed?
[20:01] <MrD1> Hi could any one tell me if i download the new version of ubuntu tomorrow will it update to the stable version in 10 days. or shuld i wait 10 days to install thanks in advance
[20:02] <thiebaude> !ibex
[20:02] <Strife89> csilk: I believe that installing the (restricted) driver is that cause of the problem.
[20:02] <erUSUL> MrD1: it will
[20:02] <csilk> strig I see, in that case can't you un-install the driver?
[20:02] <erUSUL> MrD1: it will upgrade to stable if you accept the proposed updates
[20:03] <MarcC_> is it pretty easy to set up a home network of ubuntu machines that can talk to each other?
[20:03] <MrD1> erUSUL, ok thanks so no problems then to install tomorrow, and thank you for the reply
[20:03] <Strife89> Aha! "Hardware Drivers"!

[20:04] <anewso1> soundray: interesting...

[20:05] <anewso1> soundray: can i tell the installer to use one over the other? lsmod tells me i have a bunch of pata and satas loaded
[20:05] <symore_ubuntu> how would i access the var/www folder with dreamweaver
[20:05] <soundray> Falcons_roost: you could do 'sudo rm -r /var/backup/*' or give it a more specific location to delete. Note, recursive rm is *dangerous* -- don't mistype
[20:05] <Strife89> csilk: I've been using Ubuntu for a while, so I was looking for "Restricted Drivers" insted.
[20:05] <Falcons_roost> yes i have heard that
[20:05] <csilk> symore_ubuntu, same why you would access any other folder
[20:06] <Falcons_roost> I will try backend first
[20:06] <soundray> anewso1: I don't think so -- I'd try to solve this kind of problem on the hardware front.
[20:06] <annkas> I try to ssh into an ubuntu live session - is it possible- what is root's password in a live session?
[20:06] <csilk> Strife89,  that menu was removed and merged with "hardware drivers" in last version :)

[20:06] <Strife89> csilk: So I noticed. :)
[20:06] <mathias__> Mat
[20:06] <soundray> annkas: the root account is locked in Ubuntu -- no password set

[20:08] <symore_ubuntu> well it looks to me that the www folder is in the root folder
[20:08] <symore_ubuntu> so when i use the user steve forinstance it takes me to the steve user folder
[20:08] <phyteg> the IrMC options in multisync won't let me set my connection type as bluetooth

[20:17] <jimbo> off the dvd
[20:18] <xfm> csilk: I have posted the results of this command and some else : http://forum.ubuntu-fr.org/viewtopic.php?id=261070
[20:18] <Strife89> csilk: Thanks for the pointer. :)
[20:18] <Thisdude> u just need to go to applications add/remove
[20:19] <Thisdude> then select media & video
[20:19] <Strife89> I was beginning to get claustrophobic. ;)
[20:19] <Thisdude> ogles a good one
[20:19] <csilk> Strife89,  did uninstalling work?
[20:19] <xfm> csilk: the fact is, it worked until last week so I know it's possible to make it work with my hardware
[20:20] <csilk> xfm,  your card is installed and working according to that log you posted, if youc ant connect ot a specific netowrk then I'm not sure it's an ubuntu issue?
[20:20] <Strife89> csilk: Yep; I'm back in the joy of 1024x768. :D
[20:20] <csilk> lol
[20:20] <anewso1> shameless plug for my problem with getting my root hard drive recognized by hardy at boot: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=953322
[20:20] <csilk> that's a nice 1990's resolution ;) Strife89
[20:20] <rockyrock> phyteg: i couldn't mount it normally! I had to force the mounting :( like this: mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdf /media/rockyrock -o force
[20:20] <Strife89> csilk: My monitor was made in 1997. Go figure. :)
[20:20] <rockyrock> I want ubuntu to mount my external Hard disks normally and automatilcally
[20:21] <Strife89> csilk: My graphics card? 1999.
[20:21] <csilk> lol
[20:21] <xfm> csilk: yes, 'cause a microsoft windows os is currently connected on this wifi
[20:21] <phyteg> rockyrock: well, that happens if you don't "reject the device safely" in windows
[20:21] <Strife89> csilk: I mean, c'mon. Every time I open the case, I swear I smell rotting wood. ;)
[20:22] <csilk> xfm,  wep or wpa?  try connecting with neither and see what happens
[20:22] <unfev> If i got an i686 wich installation cd should i choose?
[20:22] <Strife89> phyteg: You mean "eject"? Nothing, as long as no programs are running.
[20:22] <rockyrock> phyteg: no i rejected the device normally in Windows! Ubuntu doesn't mount any NTFS external Hard drive
[20:22] <rockyrock> phyteg: and now i can't unmount it!!!!!
[20:23] <matthijs_> !dutch
[20:23] <rockyrock> the system says it can't unmount the device
[20:23] <xfm> csilk: I have tried both, no one works
[20:23]  * csilk points Strife89 to extremely cheap modern components that support resolutions higher than 1024x768
[20:23] <phyteg> rockyrock: i'm sorry, can't help you
[20:23] <csilk> xfm,  have you tried without encryption?
[20:23] <[newnick]> !swedish
[20:23] <Strife89> phyteg: However, if you have files open, or if the device is being written to or read from, there's a chance you'll destroy data, or even the drive, if you don't safely eject first.
[20:24] <aho_> does anyone know if the proprietary ati drivers support hi def tv-out over component ?
[20:24]  * Strife89 tells csilk that Strife89 has $40 to his name.
[20:24] <scientus> mount -a mount: can't open /etc/mtab for writing: Stale NFS file handle

[20:24]  * csilk feels sorry for Strife89 
[20:25] <scientus> what do i do
[20:25] <rockyrock> Guys i have a problem: Ubuntu doesn't mount any external NTFS Hard Disk, it says that it can't mount it eventhought i rejected the devices normally in Windows!!! So what to do???
[20:25] <gustavol1> I tried to install ubuntu on a usb drive, now I can't boot the computer anymore. Can you help me?
[20:25] <xfm> csilk: and I am currently connected to a network with no key that I find, strange that it works in that case and not with my network
[20:25] <dany_21a_> scientus: is your /etc on a NFS mount? if so, try renounting
[20:26] <scientus> no its a harddisk
[20:26] <scientus> i have no NFS mounts
[20:26] <scientus> and never have
[20:26] <csilk> xfm,  try turning wep/wpa off and connecting to your network, if this works then obviously you have problems with encrypted networks and we can move from there
[20:26] <dany_21a_> scientus: what does the command "mount" say (without params)
[20:26] <Strife89> csilk: Have some spare time? Treat yourself: http://strife89.deviantart.com/gallery
[20:26] <scientus> o that prints everything
[20:27] <jimbo> how do I adjust the external volume controls of the computer, i have already been to settings to no avail.
[20:27] <ubuntu_todd> hello. There was one problem with my gnome. It doesn't show up the desktop, but I can log in tty1-tty6 in the command modes. After 10 min when I used alt+F7, the desktop shows up and there is waring messages that says "There was an error starting the GNOME Settings Daemon". Any suggestions?
[20:28] <ubuntu_todd> And now even I am in the desktop, but the theme and visual effects changes a lot.
[20:28] <csilk> interesting pictures Strife89
[20:28] <Strife89> csilk: Thank you. :)
[20:29] <dany_21a_> scientus: post the line which shows the partition containing etc
[20:29] <a1> how do i setup new usb wireless card?
[20:30] <a1> and disybale that on borad?
[20:30] <corp> hello
[20:30] <corp> is there a way to install packages with required interactives steps...non-interactively?
[20:31] <corp> in particular, i want to automate postfix install
[20:31] <a1> anyone?
[20:31] <Strife89> a1: It largely depends on the card.
[20:31] <mongolai> corp:  what is the method of postfix install. is it a dot ( . ) script?
[20:32] <corp> apt-get install
[20:32] <scientus_> i rebooted and it stills says stale nfs file handle
[20:32] <Strife89> a1: The Wiki is a good place to look for hardware-specific information.
[20:32] <scientus_> how do i just torch that file and remake it
[20:32] <a1> Strife89: what card?
[20:33] <mongolai> corp:  are you talking about the Yes/No prompts ?
[20:33] <a1> that on-borad?
[20:33] <corp> mongolai: no - an interactive install that asks questions
[20:33] <Strife89> a1: Both your USB wireless card and the one on your motherboard.
[20:33] <a1> i don't get it
[20:33] <unfev> wich installation cd should i use if i have: Intel Atom N270 processor? I have tryied the x86, i386 but it says i got i686 :(
[20:34] <Strife89> a1: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NetworkDevices
[20:34] <a1> i have tryed on the opions
[20:34] <mongolai> corp:  after the apt-get is successful, then? er, after the fetching part you mean?
[20:34] <erUSUL> unfev: use 32 bit x86
[20:34] <Petengy> hi to all
[20:34] <corp> mongolai: i want a shell script to automate postfix install. since it's an interactive install, i cant do that.
[20:34] <corp> mongolai: try installing it, you'll see
[20:34] <mongolai> corp:  ok. just a minute...
[20:35] <unfev> erUSUL: i have download it, but when im trying to install it it says stop.. and say that i have i686 and its have no support for it or something
[20:35] <mongolai> corp:  ...ok, the fetching was --- Ahhh, now I see...
[20:36] <erUSUL> unfev: i think you have amd64 no 32 bit ...
[20:36] <unfev> erUSUK okey
[20:36] <rodhash> Hi there... it's my first time here... I found it amazing !!  here all you talk about ubuntu issues ?? any topics ??
[20:36] <DaPapaSchlumpf> hey guys, i got a problem with my intel wifi link 5100, the drivers r installed, i can find my router via wicd network manager, but i cant connect, after 30-60seconds he just stops connecting while "Validating authentication", any solution?
[20:37] <mongolai> corp:  ...just a sec...
[20:37] <corp> mongolai: cheers
[20:37] <corp> i guess postfix does need some config up front. but i want to just specify 'no configuration' from the command line.
[20:37] <unfev> erUSUL: cyou think so? because i just got Single Core processor :/
[20:38] <harryjr> hey, i only have a kubuntu install cd, but would like to just install a command line system, is that possible?
[20:38] <mongolai> corp:  ok. why do you need an auto install?
[20:38] <corp> mongolai: because sysadmins automate installs on servers.
[20:38] <aho_> does anyone know if the open source ati drivers (radeonHD or radeon) support hi def tv-out over component ?
[20:39] <erUSUL> unfev: complining that you have i686 is something the amd64 installer will d if you try to install on a 32 bit propcessor like the atom
[20:39] <mongolai> corp:  are you deploying the same configuration to multiple machines, or  different configurations to multiple machines for that matter?
[20:39] <aho_> ahh
[20:39] <aho_> I hate ati
[20:39] <corp> mongolai: no config, yet.
[20:39] <erUSUL> unfev: so check again that you indeed have the i386 version of the livecd/instaler
[20:40] <mongolai> corp:  I mean, what is your intention. If you just need one install, you can set it manually, if multiple same a script, or multiple different is a can of worms, if you get my meaning...
[20:40] <the_lost_one> harryjr maybe using "custom" option when booting livecd?
[20:41] <ActionParsnip> yo yo yo
[20:41] <corp> mongolai: i just want to know how to stop interactive packages from asking questions.
[20:41] <Stupendoussteve> corp, install from source
[20:42] <mongolai> corp:  this is not a "package" issue -- it's an issue with the postfix install itself. Ostensibly an issue inherent to all postfix installs.
[20:42] <corp> so are you guys telling me nobody ever automates postfix package install?
[20:42] <ubuntu_todd> jrib: Hi.
[20:42] <a1> Strife89> thanks. im reading about. but how do i disyble on-board card
[20:43] <a1> First
[20:43] <Stupendoussteve> a1, probably need to do that in the bios
[20:43] <a1> oh no
[20:43] <a1> i ahte that
[20:43] <mongolai> corp:  no, I'm not saying that, but I'm saying it is an issue that you probably need to take up with the postfix people. That's part of the reason why I asked if you need multiple different configurations, or multiple same configurations. It depends on how you intend to deploy this.
[20:44] <littlewookie> hey anyone ever used the MARVELL SD8686 wlan chip???
[20:44] <histo> Having trouble getting windows to boot residing on a slave drive. Grub is pointed at hd(1,o) any ideas? Do I need to edit he boot.ini on the windows drive as well?
[20:44] <Stupendoussteve> corp, if you download the .deb you may be able to see how it 's configured
[20:44] <ActionParsnip> a1: why, just find the part that says onboard vga and set it to disabled or similar
[20:44] <corp> Stupendoussteve: i do ahve the deb. i just wondered if there was a way to stop the configure phase with dpkg
[20:44] <Strife89> a1: I really can't help you much more without looking at the hardware itself.......
[20:44] <cjc> ?????????
[20:44] <Strife89> a1: Just keep looking.
[20:44] <mongolai> corp:  no. that's what I mean by a postfix issue
[20:44] <cjc> what a  you say  ??
[20:45] <DerPapaSchlumpf> hey guys, i got a problem with my intel wifi link 5100, the drivers r installed, i can find my router via wicd network manager, but i cant connect, after 30-60seconds he just stops connecting while "Validating authentication", any solution?
[20:45] <DiGiTaL> hi
[20:45] <mongolai> corp:  the .deb knows nothing about the mechanics of the actual configuration and install itself
[20:46] <ActionParsnip> corp: isnt there a switch you can perform with dpkg
[20:46] <corp> ActionParsnip: nope
[20:46] <corp> not that i see
[20:46] <piko_water> is there any vnc for the ubuntu ?
[20:46] <symore_ubuntu> where do i change the location for the root www folder from var/www to another home folder
[20:46] <ActionParsnip> !vnc | piko_water
[20:47] <the_lost_one> symore_ubuntu check httpd.conf file in /etc/apache or /etc/apache2
[20:47] <ActionParsnip> DerPapaSchlumpf: is it internal or external?
[20:47] <DavidCanarias> Can anyone advise me on a problem I am having with VLC when I copy a DVD video please??
[20:48] <jim_p> Danskmand: are you still there?
[20:48] <histo> Think I found a solution brb
[20:48] <DerPapaSchlumpf> ActionParsnip internal
[20:48] <symore_ubuntu> is it apache2.conf ?
[20:48] <symore_ubuntu> http.conf is empty
[20:48] <the_lost_one> symore_ubuntu prolly yes
[20:49] <ActionParsnip> DerPapaSchlumpf: laptop or desktop?
[20:49] <DavidCanarias> Help copying a DVD video using VLC??? Anyone familiar with it??
[20:49] <DerPapaSchlumpf> laptop
[20:49] <Strife89> I'm looking at the laptop list on the Wiki, and cannot find my model. Are there any Toshiba Satellite users around at the moment?
[20:49] <ActionParsnip> DerPapaSchlumpf: maybe a bios update or get better drivers. do you need a firmware in a particular place to make it work?
[20:50] <cole> hi all, does anyone know if you can set a password to prevent opening of hidden folders/files?
[20:50] <Strife89> My laptop is a Toshiba Satellite 1805-S254 (circa 2002)
[20:50] <ActionParsnip> Strife89: dont worry about the model, its the hardware inside you have to worry about
[20:50] <piko_water> well i dont need vnc server i need vnc client like ultra vnc, is there any similar application available for ubuntu
[20:50] <claes> Anyone knows how to make ubuntu recognize USB disks before fstab is processed?
[20:50] <ActionParsnip> cole: you can use chown and chmod to set permissions to prevent acess
[20:50] <DerPapaSchlumpf> ActionParsnip i've installed drivers for my wireless card, but they seem not to work. with windows i got no problems
[20:50] <symore_ubuntu> right now it says server root "/etc/apache2  is this what i need to change to my home folder www ?
[20:51] <piko_water> claes, well its should automatically detect the usb disk when you plugin
[20:51] <claes> I mean at boot time
[20:51] <Strife89> ActionParsnip: The reason I'm asking is because I'm looking foe similar models' results (and therefore, similar - or even mostly the same - hardware).
[20:51] <piko_water> i need vnc client like ultra vnc, is there any similar application available for ubuntu
[20:51] <guntbert> piko_water: the simplest is vncviewer
[20:51] <ActionParsnip> piko_water: search synaptic for vnc
[20:51] <DerPapaSchlumpf> ActionParsnip i've dowloaded and installed these drivers: http://intellinuxwireless.org/?p=iwlwifi&n=Downloads
[20:51] <ActionParsnip> Strife89: which bit of hardware are you having issues with
[20:52] <ActionParsnip> DerPapaSchlumpf: are you using ndiswrapper?
[20:52] <DerPapaSchlumpf> nope
[20:52] <cole> actionparsnip how would i change the permissions for certain folders?
[20:52] <ActionParsnip> cole: check out chmod
[20:52] <JannoTT> Hey guys! Inside what package is assmbly thingy calld GAS? :/
[20:52] <DerPapaSchlumpf> but i've tried the ndiswrapper driver with wcid network manager
[20:52] <cole> actionparsnip: kool thanx for that
[20:52] <Strife89> ActionParsnip: Well, I'm not sure. I used the Wubi app to install *Xubuntu*, and at the end of the installation (and during all subsequent boots to Xubuntu), it simply quit.
[20:53] <claes> My issue is this: I have a NTFS usb disk that needs to be mounted at boot time, but when fstab is processed, the disk has not yet been recognized by ubuntu - it sees it after fstab has been processed
[20:53] <ActionParsnip> DerPapaSchlumpf: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=619748
[20:53] <ActionParsnip> Strife89: ive never used wubi
[20:53] <Strife89> ActionParsnip: With that said, I know I need to get a driver for a Wi-Fi PC-Card: a Microsoft MN-720.
[20:53] <guntbert> cole: but mind; accress right have git nothing to do with "hidden folders", "hidden" in linux is just a question of convenience, not of security
[20:53] <ActionParsnip> Strife89: i think its a horrific concept
[20:54] <guntbert> *got
[20:54] <ActionParsnip> Strife89: what does lspci say it is
[20:54] <DerPapaSchlumpf> ActionParsnip: IPW3945 != WiFi 5000 series, some guys in other forums tried the drivers, it doesnt work
[20:54] <Strife89> ActionParsnip: I'm not sure, and at the moment I can't look.
[20:54] <ActionParsnip> DerPapaSchlumpf: i know but it appears yuo need to blacklist the ipw3945
[20:54] <the_lost_one> symore_ubuntu see if you this file /etc/apache2/sites-available/default
[20:55] <|thunder> hey all, whats a good site I can upload a mp3 of a radio show too and put a flash player widget on a blog ?
[20:55] <KillerJinn> how to check which kernel version iam runing now?
[20:55] <aho_> |thunder: why the heck would you ask here ?
[20:55] <aho_> KillerJinn: uname -r
[20:55] <|thunder> KillerJinn; uname -r
[20:55] <ActionParsnip> Strife89: well thats what counts. the brand and model means nothing, its the chip inside that counts which can very between countries and even time
[20:55] <|thunder> aho_; cuz this chan is nerd deep
[20:55] <ryanakca> Is there a command to background a process? ^z doesn't seem to work
[20:55] <ActionParsnip> DerPapaSchlumpf: did you blacklist the one thats bad?
[20:55] <KillerJinn> aho_ |thunder thanks
[20:55] <aho_> ryanakca: run it with &
[20:55] <DerPapaSchlumpf> i'll try
[20:56] <ryanakca> aho_: it's already running ;)

[20:56] <Decepticon> bastid_raZor, are you there
[20:56] <gambi> back from reboot.. WHY do I get those typing delays? this time the only thing I had running was a inactive terminal and Xchat... when I get this delay: Takes ½-1½ sec for characters to appear after typing.. cant type anything before the character is shown.. any ideas? (this is a clean installation of ubuntu 7.04)
[20:56] <aho_> just leave it alone then
[20:56] <aho_> haha
[20:56] <Strife89> ActionParsnip: I'm rather busy, but I'll come back with my laptop running and supply details another day. :)
[20:56] <ActionParsnip> DerPapaSchlumpf: i dont paste links for laughs theres usually a nugget of info someplace in the page
[20:56] <ryanakca> aho_: doesn't help :)
[20:56] <|thunder> guntbert; thanks, but a simple answer would have been much less distracting, lol
[20:56] <FuriousGeorge> i just did this:  dd if=/dev/sda | gzip -9 | ssh re.motecomputer.com "gzip -d -| dd of=/dev/sda" and it worked. (after a reboot on liveusb drive) i was able to assemble, rebuild, and mount my raid1 arrays, and see my lvm volumes on one of em
[20:56] <ActionParsnip> Strife89: im sure someone will be able to help
[20:56] <claes> anyone can help? (how to ensure ubuntu recognizes an usb disk before fstab is processed at boottime)
[20:57] <a1> simple qustion. can i change the color of the folders?
[20:57] <FuriousGeorge> so what else should i be doing?  both computers are identical
[20:57] <mongolai> ryanakca:  bg (pid#)
[20:57] <FuriousGeorge> i should delete the udev rule that has the MAC for the other computer's NIC (i guess they're not so identical), right?
[20:57] <ryanakca> mongolai: thanks
[20:57] <FuriousGeorge> or is the MAC address assigned on boot?
[20:57] <Strife89> a1: System/ Preferences/ Appearence should have the option.
[20:57] <FuriousGeorge> what about /dev?
[20:57] <FuriousGeorge> leave it?
[20:57] <errpast> how do I increase mp3 bit rate beyond 160 kbps with soundjuicer?
[20:57] <a1> tnx
[20:57] <ActionParsnip> claes: if the disks are visible in bios, ubuntu will see then. fstab will then automount the partitions as you specify
[20:57] <mongolai> ryanakca:  you also know that you can bg programs with the & char in a terminal?
[20:58] <claes> I tried,  but when I boot, I get an error about the /dev/sdb1 does not exist
[20:58] <Strife89> a1: On the Themes tab, pick a theme to start with (or leave it alone) and then click on "Customize" near the bottom.
[20:58] <node357> errpast, I don't know much about sound juicer, but can you use "variable bitrate" ?
[20:58] <claes> if I then manually mount -a after login, the disk is there
[20:58] <ActionParsnip> FuriousGeorge: its burned into the card when its manufactured, you can use /etc/network/interfaces to override it
[20:58] <ryanakca> mongolai: sorry, I'm trying to suspend it, my bad
[20:58] <xfm> csilk: I'm back. With my IAP, it's impossible to desactivate the WEP/WAP key.

[20:59] <csilk> xfm, thats pretty strange
[20:59] <a1> ok
[20:59] <mongolai> ryanakca:  ctrl+z didn't work? there might have been a SIG* code. is this a CLI program?
[20:59] <ryanakca> mongolai: (^z doesn't work, and it's making X slow, so I'll resume it when I go to bed...)
[20:59] <claes> that worked once, but at next boot, the disk was not recognized until after fstab was processed
[20:59] <ryanakca> mongolai: grep :)
[20:59] <csilk> xfm,  well, I'm not really sure what your problem is
[21:00] <mongolai> ryanakca:  what was the cmd-line that cused this?
[21:00] <xfm> csilk: but true. Quite a good IAP mm?

[21:01] <jelle> how can i know what process is taking a port? i see with netstat that the port is taken, but i need it for an other application so i have to close the connection to free up the port
[21:01] <ActionParsnip> claes: add sudo mount -a to startup asa workaround
[21:01] <markw_> wow...  lots of users. :)
[21:01] <guntbert> jelle: 'lsof -i'
[21:02] <Strife89> markw_: Probably more here than on any other channel on Freenode. :)
[21:02] <claes> yes I did, and that works, but I have it as a server, and it is unattended
[21:02] <claes> ohh

[21:02] <guntbert> jelle: np :)
[21:02] <mongolai> ryanakca:  or SIGHUP on the tty? I dunno. Is it consuming resources?
[21:02] <mongolai> ryanakca:  neat
[21:02] <claes> yes, I could do that, but then the next problem arises, I also have vmware server running, and it's services runs at startup and it needs those disks
[21:03] <markw_> I've had a few times in ubuntu where it'd stop launching apps, recently (5 minutes ago), it stopped launching terminals. :(  I'm thinking some background process is silently dying and killing off the desktop stuff, reboot :( or init single/exit fixes it.
[21:03]  * markw_ hates rebooting.
[21:04] <claes> ActionParsnip: what I was thinking of, would it be possible to change the order of things while booting?
[21:04] <Strife89> markw_: Does [Alt]+[F2] work?
[21:04] <andycas> when installing gtk theme from appearance, it says it installed fine, but when i select the theme it goes back to very minimalistic and ugly. Whats wrong?
[21:04] <mongolai> markw_:  what does top have to say? Load avg. cpu% mem use?
[21:04] <guntbert> markw_: what does 'top' tell?
[21:04] <claes> like, see the partition, then fstab is processed
[21:04] <guntbert> mongolai: :)
[21:05] <mongolai> guntbert:  what?
[21:05] <xfm> csilk: perhap's if I remove the drivers and reinstall them?
[21:05] <guntbert> mongolai: you beat me :)
[21:05] <csilk> xfm,  that would be the first port of call
[21:05] <csilk> use synaptic
[21:06] <mongolai> guntbert:  :) I see it now!
[21:06] <markw_> mongolai: everything looked normal.  Strife89 yes, went to the first virtual terminal, and restarted services.
[21:06] <markw_> didn't really have time to investigate it.
[21:06] <markw_> I'm thinking it's got to do with hald.
[21:07] <mongolai> andycas:  sometimes theme files aren't properly made, and sometimes you need to go into the "customize" configuration and set the parts manually
[21:07] <After_Math> what port does xchat run on?
[21:08] <Decepticon> how do i stop X from starting over after i stop it
[21:08] <guntbert> After_Math: try 'lsof -i |grep xchat'
[21:08] <jspp_> LAL
[21:08] <jspp_> LALALAL
[21:09] <markw_> After_Math: it's going out, so it will pick a random port > 1024
[21:09] <mongolai> Decepticon:  how are you calling X -- is it automatic, or are you calling startx or X or whatever?
[21:09] <markw_> After_Math: generally irc defaults to 6667
[21:09] <Decepticon> mongolai it just starts up on reboot
[21:10] <mongolai> Decepticon:  that is probably a runlevel issue. Do you *not* want X to start?
[21:10] <Zerothis> is there a vnc type server-client combination that lets the client switching between desktop users?
[21:10] <CelticLord> nuit!!
[21:10] <Decepticon> im trying to get out of 'low graphics mode'
[21:10] <DerPapaSchlumpf> ActionParsnip i try the 2.6.27.2 kernel, i've heard they hv integrated drivers for my wlan-card, but thx fpr help
[21:12] <mongolai> Decepticon:  X usually starts on boot/reboot because is's told to for that runlevel. Is there an underlying problem that needs to be fixed, or do you just want to log into a plain CLI environment?
[21:14] <Infernalord> Hello, could someone tell me how can I repair my MBR? I have grub installed but it wasn't correctly installed, then a friend of mine tried to use bootpart and now I can't start Linux, because it is not well configured. What should I do?
[21:14] <thiebaude> mongolai:how do i just log into a CLI enviroment without starting x?
[21:15] <thiebaude> !cli
[21:15] <family_> thiebaude, if you're at the GDM login screen you can press Ctrl+Alt+F1 and you can log in there
[21:16] <thiebaude> ok thanks family_
[21:16] <family_> you're welcome
[21:16] <mongolai> thiebaude:  what family_ said works, but if you *don't* want X to start, you need to set the default runlevel
[21:17] <genii> thiebaude: alt-f7 to get back to the gui login after that
[21:17] <Decepticon> how do i reset x so its like it was on first install
[21:17] <thiebaude> ok, genii
[21:17] <scientus_> http://pastie.org/296551
[21:17] <scientus_> what is going on?
[21:17] <thiebaude> genii:and i will use less resources then?
[21:17] <scientus_> i cant open /etc/mtab but 'mount' shows stuff
[21:17] <family_> yes thiebaude
[21:17] <mongolai> Decepticon:  I hate to say this, but it depends on what X did on the first install.
[21:17] <scientus_> also its not mounted
[21:18] <Decepticon> i dont want to reisnstall ubuntu
[21:18] <Ab3L> good night
[21:18] <guntbert> mongolai: I thought ubuntu doesn't follow the usual concept of runlevels
[21:18] <ivangarcia> hi Ab3L
[21:18] <thiebaude> brb
[21:18] <erUSUL> mongolai: all runlevels in debian/linux are equal in debian/ubuntu by default (except 0,1 and 6 of course) and all run gdm (X). Btw ubuntu no longer has inittab file
[21:18] <pyro> are there any software engineers around?
[21:18] <pyro> or engineers period?
[21:19] <genii> thiebaude: The gdm will be running if you just ctrl-alt-f1    so not really. Although you will not have loaded the desktop which consumes a fair bit of resources. So in that way yes. But X will still be running by way of the login manager stilll
[21:19] <erUSUL> mongolai: debian/ubuntu* sorry
[21:19] <ivangarcia> pyro: i am, why ?
[21:19] <claes> there is a guide here to fix the MBR using your ubuntu live CD: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows
[21:20] <Infernalord> claes: Thank you very much
[21:21] <symore_ubuntu> is my root /home/steve or just /steve ?
[21:21] <mongolai> erUSUL:  I admit, I'm not to familliar with the debian way. However, there is a script in the boot up sequence that determines when to start X. *That* is the question, and I was probably wrong with suggesting runlevels.
[21:21] <symore_ubuntu> root for the user
[21:21] <the_lost_one> symore_ubuntu best call it home
[21:21] <genii> symore_ubuntu: It's /home/username      so /home/steve    in this case
[21:21] <bosky101> hi, has anyone had success getting xvfb working on gutsy , i have the same problem as in http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=846061
[21:22] <Zerothis> symore_ubuntu: your home is "/home/steve" your root is "/"
[21:22] <guntbert> symore_ubuntu: check yourself - type 'cd' then 'pwd'
[21:22] <erUSUL> mongolai: yep but by default this script is called in all runlñevels that's the point i tried to make. you can off course configure it to not boot in any runlevel or pnly in the ones you want but as i said by default it run in all runlevels.
[21:23]  * MANIAKA7000 bye all!
[21:23] <thiebaude> when i did ctrl+alt+f1 i couldn't open a program?
[21:23] <erUSUL> mongolai: also as i mentioned there is inittab in ubuntu (now it uses upstart instead of classic system V init)
[21:23] <erUSUL> !upstart
[21:24] <Dio445> thiebaude: that should open a full screen system console, not start a new program.
[21:24] <symore_ubuntu> thanks i will soon be on my way to much better wondoz free environ
[21:24] <thiebaude> oh, ok dio445
[21:25] <family_> thiebaude, if you want to launch a program by typing its name you press Alt+F2
[21:25] <mongolai> erUSUL:  ok. that's interesting! I'm still looking into that stuff. GNU/Linux systems, Ubuntu in particular is a moving target that can be hard to track sometimes. That doesn't take away from my initial assertion though :)
[21:25] <thiebaude> ok, family_
[21:25] <thiebaude> i got it
[21:25] <thiebaude> :)
[21:25] <Dio445> thiebaude: Oh, and ctrl-alt-f7 should bring back your desktop after a ctrl-alt-f1
[21:25] <Decepticon> "Ubuntu is running in low-graphics mode" "Your screen and graphics card could not be detected correctly. To use higher resolutions, visual effects or mutpliple screens, you have to configure the display yourself." Configure/Shutdown/Continue
[21:26] <Decepticon> please tell me how to do this.. i just installed the NVIDIA drivers for geforce fx 5200, and rebooted
[21:26] <thiebaude> kewl, dio445
[21:26] <thiebaude> brb
[21:26] <pyro> Ivangarcia, that could be structurally fragile and solid, dynamically, what would you call it?
[21:27] <pyro> ivangarcia, sorry, that was two trains of thought crashing
[21:27] <pyro> ivangarcia, what i meant to say was, what would you, as an engineer, and object  that could be structurally fragile and solid, dynamically.
[21:28] <pyro> call an object...
[21:28] <pyro> ><
[21:28] <guntbert> pyro: keep to the topic please :)
[21:28] <pyro> actually that is on topic
[21:28] <pyro> but I'm trying to get the opinion before I explain the reason
[21:29] <guntbert> !ot > pyro
[21:31]  * the_lost_one is really lost...
[21:33] <erhan> iyi geceler
[21:33] <thiebaude> i tried to enter a program name after alt+f7 and it says no display specified
[21:34] <a1> where i can change the SIZE of the folder please?
[21:34] <a1> if can
[21:34] <movedx> How does one make 'cp' copy hidden files, too?
[21:34] <ompaul> a1, you change the size of a folder by reducing that inside it
[21:34] <Flannel> a1: What do you mean?  the size of a folder is determined by the contents
[21:35] <ompaul> movedx, cp .* target
[21:35] <movedx> ompaul: AH, good call. Quite obvious, in fact as hiddne files are hidden by the '.' notation.
[21:35] <a1> i see that i can change the font
[21:36] <Decepticon> i installed nvidia drivers, rebooted, enabled proprietary drivers (the popup at the taskbar suggested to do so), and rebooted, it says 'ubuntu is running in low-graphics mode, your screen and gfx card could not be detected correctly. to use higher res, visual effects, or multiple screens, you have to configure the display yourself" and then theres buttons configure/shut down/continue
[21:36] <Decepticon> i need help doing config
[21:36] <guntbert> a1: do you want to change the size of the icon?
[21:37] <a1> yes.
[21:37] <thiebaude> al1:right click on the icon
[21:37] <a1> not the fonts
[21:38] <toast> is it possible to mount my ubuntu partition in vmware ?
[21:39] <cyris||> what package is ldapsearch apart of?
[21:39] <J-a-K-e> Does anyone know If it's possible to setup a creative x-fi card so the speakers have a low pass filter and bass redirection to the subwoofer channel with high pass
[21:39] <SpinachHead> when installing the nvidia drivers from nvidia it says i need the precompiled c headers. which are these?
[21:40] <mongolai> Decepticon:  I can't help you directly since I don't have an NVidia card, but perhaps if you posted something like " I have an NVidia (such and such card) what Xorg.conf configuration do I need"  might yeild better results
[21:40] <pippo_> ciao sono nuovo, qualcuno mi spiega un po come funziona
[21:40] <thiebaude> !it
[21:40] <[TiZ]> Hi there. I want to create a disk image to move some sensitive data onto, that way it would have to be mounted in order to access it. Is there any way to do this? Encryption would be a bonus.
[21:40] <mongolai> !nvidia
[21:40] <claes> toast: you want to load your partition from another system?
[21:41] <Decepticon> mongolai sure, i got a nvidia geforce fx 5200, but ive already installed the nvidia drivers, and the propetary things the taskbar told me to, now when i restart im being told im in low-graphics mode because my screen and gfx card cannot be detected. my gfx card is still the geforce fx 5200, but im using a TV as a screen via svideo out
[21:41] <rockyrock> ubuntu doesn't mount my memory card, it mounted another one but didn't mount mine :(
[21:42] <rockyrock> i'm sure that the problem isn't from my card reader
[21:42] <SpinachHead> the problem is i cant run nvidia-glx or envyng because my cosole screen wont scroll. So  i have to compile the kernel inteface
[21:42] <rockyrock> because windows Xp can read the card
[21:42] <Coeus82> hi, I want to install ubuntu alongside my windows installation. I was wondering, however, if I should use wubi or create a separate partition and install it there?
[21:43] <SpinachHead> envyng has a huge text menu ad i cant make a chice
[21:43] <mongolai> Decepticon:  is there an issue when you use the regular vid-out on the card (vga, hdmi, or whatever it is?
[21:43] <Decepticon> mongolai i dont use the regular video out because i dont have a monitor
[21:43] <[TiZ]> Coeus82: If you use wubi, you won't be able to write to your windows partition. Use wubi to try it out, see if you like it. And if you do like it, do a dedicated partition install
[21:43] <mongolai> Decepticon:  so you *need* the svid then?
[21:44] <Decepticon> mongolai pretty much
[21:44] <Coeus82> ahh.. I'm already using Ubuntu on my laptop (I like it)... so I guess it's better for me to install it on a separate partition
[21:44] <claes> toast: the last time I attempted that, I think vmware stronly warns you about booting a physical partition in vmware. but I just tried anyway, did not work.
[21:44] <Decepticon> mongolai, im seeing the message about running in low graphics mode on the tv
[21:44] <[TiZ]> Most definitely.
[21:44] <SpinachHead> oh, looks like i need build-essential
[21:44] <[TiZ]> I want to create a disk image to move some sensitive data onto, that way it would have to be mounted in order to access it. Is there any way to do this? Encryption would be a bonus.
[21:44] <SpinachHead> ubuntu interepid
[21:45] <mongolai> Decepticon:  sorry to say, but you have a somewhat fringe case there... You could try the VGA X driver, but that would only do so much. I don
[21:45] <mongolai> Decepticon:  ...(don't) even know what resolution that would be
[21:45] <psycose> hi, i would like to add a PPA repository to get firefox-3.1 but i don't want my system to upgrade other package that are provided by this PPA, how could i handle this ? thanks
[21:45] <xfader> Is there a way to upgrade ubuntu 8.04 32 bit to the 64bit edition, without installing from scratch?
[21:46] <Scunizi> xfader: nope.. but it's easier if your /home is on a separate partition.
[21:47] <xfader> bugger
[21:47] <xfader> a fresh install it is then
[21:47] <Scunizi> xfader: you gotta jump through hoops to get flash to work on 64bit anyway.. not to mention most programs are 32bit
[21:47] <a1> again_ i can't find where to change the SIZE of the ICONS
[21:48] <psycose> hi, i would like to add a PPA repository to get firefox-3.1 but i don't want my system to upgrade other package that are provided by this PPA, how could i handle this ? thanks
[21:48] <mongolai> al: what was your original problem again?
[21:48] <Scunizi> !patients | psycose
[21:48] <mongolai> al: with the icons?
[21:48] <xfader> the only real reason i wanted to run the 64bit edition was to run win2k8 64bit under vmware, but i guess if the jump to 64bit is going to cause me more problems i will just sitck to what i've got
[21:48] <claes> oh dear, I am talking to someone who left after asking a question :/
[21:48] <a1> to change the zise of them
[21:49] <itsatrick> I need an opinion: is it worth it to upgrade to Ibex yet?
[21:49] <a1> no options
[21:49] <urthmover> yes?
[21:49] <urthmover> maybe
[21:49] <Scunizi> xfader: you might find that 64 bit os's work as vm's in vmware.. ask in #vmware about that.
[21:49] <the_lost_one> a1 you mean the icons you see with nautilus or?
[21:49] <a1> on the Desktop
[21:50] <the_lost_one> a1 ok, Start Nautilus file browser, Menu Edit -> Preferences . And try to set icon zoom level in the "Icon View Defaults" section. This affects icons on the desktop as well.
[21:50] <xfader> thanks Scunizi
[21:50] <Scunizi> a1: right mouse click and choose Stretch Icon to resize.
[21:50] <Scunizi> xfader: np
[21:50] <mongolai> al: or right-click and select "Stretch Icon"
[21:50] <claes> ActionParsnip: anyway, thanks for the help. I think I will drop a post at the ubuntu forum
[21:53] <harryjr> i have a kubuntu install cd. can't i enable a more advanced installation= i would like to be able to select packages etc manually. actually, deselect.
[21:53] <the_lost_one> harryjr you tryed "custom" option wen booting?
[21:53] <mww113> Is linux-headers a necessary package?
[21:53] <a1> no
[21:53] <Scunizi> harryjr: the install cd has a preset grouping of packages that is standard.. I'm not aware of a way to deselect certain packages.
[21:53] <mww113> a1: k
[21:54] <claes> if you want to compile stuff
[21:54] <a1> i can't see any option
[21:54] <a1> ,
[21:55] <mww113> how do I delete a menu from the main menu?
[21:56] <InExile> two problems .... first on totem ... installed ubuntu-restricted .... but now I get this error Failed to connect stream: Invalid argument
[21:56] <gaintsura> during an upgrade my gnome system went kaput, I can get in via failsafe, but something in my previous session (I'm led to believe that it is cairo-dock) is killing gnome and overlaying a white screen over the desktop where I can't see anything more than the mouse pointer. Anyone have any ideas?
[21:56] <the_lost_one> mww113 there´s a tool under system -> preferences for that
[21:57] <jrib> mww113: right click on the ubuntu icon and edit menu
[21:57] <ubuntuforever234> does anyone know the IFS2 driver
[21:57] <a1> any other option to change the SIZE of the Desktop icons ?
[21:57] <mww113> I know that, but is there any way to completly remove it?
[21:57] <mww113> so that it doesn't even show up in edit menu
[21:57] <kri> hi how do i apt-get search for avaible programs?
[21:57] <ubuntuforever234> ext2 ifs
[21:58] <Scunizi> a1: I take it you'd like to have all the icons the same size? It's been driving me nuts for some time now.. I haven't figured out how to resize all of them to the same as yet.
[21:58] <jrib> mww113: uninstall the corresponding app completely
[21:58] <Fephisto> Yo, I have a laptop, I'm thinking about getting ubuntu, but I'd kinda like to dual-boot with XP without destroying the data on the HD, which I've heard re-partitioning is prone to do.  Is it really worth it to install ubuntu?
[21:58] <InExile> anyone?
[21:58] <the_lost_one> gaintsura maybe you want to move your .gnome preferences dir while debugging the problem
[21:59] <gaintsura> the_lost_one: I've gone as far as removing .gnome2 and trying again, but I get the same thing
[21:59] <a1> Scunizi: if you can tell me
[21:59] <a1> :)
[21:59] <a1> im just looking all over
[21:59] <InExile> any ideas on my "Failed to connect stream: Invalid argument" problem?
[22:00] <jrib> Fephisto: try a desktop cd to try out ubuntu without installing.  you should have backups of your data anyway wgether or not you install ubuntu
[22:00] <Scunizi> a1 me too.. arg.. one of my pet nigglies that I'd love to fix
[22:00] <mww113> Fephisto: Use wubi
[22:00] <mww113> you can then install and uninstall ubuntu like any windows aplication
[22:00] <mww113> http://wubiinstaller.org
[22:01] <kri> im in the apt-get --help i cant find the command for search
[22:01] <the_lost_one> kri its apt-cache search
[22:01] <Fephisto> mww113:  That's awesome. (thanks anyone jrib)
[22:01] <dulak> kri: apt-cache search packagename
[22:01] <kri> thanks
[22:01] <Fephisto> (*anyways)
[22:01] <kri> need to write this down
[22:01] <eth01> hi
[22:02] <pippo_> !list
[22:02] <pippo_> !ls
[22:02] <claes> Fephisto: I still use my wubi installation, and it runs like a charm
[22:02] <kri> hm funny my home folder is desktop?
[22:02] <jrib> Fephisto: make sure   you tead the wubi faq before you decide to install that way
[22:02] <InExile> start to feel like the one guy in a crowded room that stands on the side and talks to himself  :(
[22:02] <kri> ../user/ = /Desktop/
[22:02] <kri> hows that?
[22:03] <jrib> kri: chech gconf
[22:03] <kri> jrib: command not fond
[22:03] <a1> Scunzizi?
[22:03] <fluffycloud12345> Kri, do you like psytrance?
[22:04] <kri> fluffycloud12345: why?
[22:04] <kri> its allright
[22:04] <jrib> kri: i didn't give you a command.  you probably want gconf-editor
[22:04] <jgoguen> InExile: chances are no one who's reading knows the answer...if everyone who didn't know said so, the room would get pretty crowded with "I don't know" :)
[22:04] <fluffycloud12345> Kri, coz I know a DJ named Kri that likes psytrance here in the US.
[22:04] <a1> LISTEN TO TRANCE MUSIC MAKE IN TO AN IDI*T
[22:04] <a1> MAKE YOU*
[22:04] <psycose> Is ti possible to tell apt to only use package A updates of a repository containing also package B & C updates ? thanks
[22:04] <kri> fluffycloud12345: is not me. :(
[22:05] <fluffycloud12345> Kri, np man :p
[22:05] <InExile> lol ... good point jgo
[22:05] <InExile> not helpful ... but very good point
[22:05] <ss4> a1, listening to your grammar makes all of us idiots
[22:05] <InExile> ;)
[22:05] <a1> fine
[22:06] <Decepticon> how do i see where my video card is located? i want to look up "BusID" so ican put it in xorg.conf
[22:06] <jrib> Decepticon: lspci
[22:06] <a1> and dancing like monkys?
[22:06] <InExile> I will give one millllllllllllllllion dollars for the correct answer ..... as long as someone is willing to take it in $0.50 annual payments
[22:06] <jrib> !ot
[22:07] <carrera> Greetings!
[22:08] <carrera> should I install MediaWiki with apt-get or just unpack the latest version myself?
[22:08] <InExile> shows you what one millllllllllllllllion dollars will buy you now days!
[22:08] <a1> why hear to Trance music if you can do POP
[22:08] <the_lost_one> carrera apt-get much safer and easyer
[22:08] <fluffycloud12345> lol
[22:09] <Decepticon> what is the bus id if lspci says: "01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV34 [GeForce FX 5200] (rev a1)"
[22:09] <Fephisto> See you.
[22:09] <carrera> the_lost_one, thanks, but only problem is that it's two minor versions behind - 1.11.2 vs 1.13.2
[22:09] <a1> or listen to CLASSSSSSSSSSSSIC?
[22:09] <carrera> the_lost_one, why is it safer?
[22:09] <a1> like mozart
[22:10] <jgoguen> !ot | a1
[22:10] <dulak> Decepticon: the first column is the busid
[22:10] <InExile> OK ... me and my one milllllllllion dollars are ourt of here ... wait ... I said I have two questions .....
[22:10] <the_lost_one> carrera because you can be sure apt-get does the work properlly, like file permissions and so on
[22:10] <Decepticon> dulak is this busid compatible to fit into the syntax of xorg.conf
[22:10] <dulak> Decepticon: I believe so, not 100% sure on that
[22:11] <a1> Scunizi ? about the SIZE of tha ICONS ?
[22:11] <InExile> the other question ... on some programs ... if I maximize the screen, then everytime I try to click on something on the screen it moves the screen a little so I can see the top or bottom ... but actually clicking on it is nearly hopelesss
[22:11] <Scunizi> a1: what didn't you understand.. I have never found an answer to that.
[22:12] <the_lost_one> InExile are you on ultra movile laptop?
[22:12] <kri> gconf-editor sounds intresting
[22:12] <InExile> nope ... desktop
[22:12] <kri> looks lige gpedit.msc for windows :)
[22:12] <toni_> hello
[22:12] <a1> lol
[22:12] <a1> it can possible?
[22:13] <the_lost_one> InExile ok, i had to enable some tweak in compiz to solve that kind of issues, on a ultra movile laptop :)
[22:13] <InExile> ok ... think it will work here?
[22:13] <the_lost_one> InExile, yes i think so
[22:13] <InExile> seems like it has to be a common problem that I am just not understanding
[22:14] <askand> How do I check what COM-port my bluetooth is on?
[22:14] <a1> some1?
[22:14] <kri> if somone is good a Gconf-editor where do i find if any setting for 'Desktop=URL' or how should i put it...
[22:15] <kri> because it went loose so ~/home/usr/ = desktop
[22:15] <InExile> anyone?
[22:15] <kunwon1> a1, right click on the icon, click 'stretch icon'
[22:15] <InExile> :'(
[22:15] <faria_khan> hello
[22:15] <the_lost_one> InExile my problem whas that i cant being able to move windows that are too large to fit on the screen at once.
[22:16] <InExile> hmmm
[22:16] <a1> how do i do that for all the icons?
[22:16] <faria_khan> i installed server edition now i want to login from ubuntu to server plz guide me how can i access my server from ubuntu ??
[22:16] <Guest53105> picche, non va , che funzioni solo usando una rete 192.168.0?
[22:17] <InExile> I am afraid I am getting close to returning to Windows hell .... or at least doing a complete reinstall and trying again from there
[22:17] <kri> faria_khan: ssh
[22:17] <Guest53105> il sito di firestarter fa sempre riferminto a quella
[22:17] <Guest53105> sorry
[22:17] <drog> say I want to move files beginning with alsa- but not files that end with .bz2... how would that be done? mv alsa-*!.bz2?
[22:17] <the_lost_one> InExile, try this, to move a hidden part of the window into view, click and drag with the left mouse button on any part of the window while holding down the ALT key. However, you won't be able to drag windows so the top of the window is above the top of the screen unless you tweak compiz
[22:17] <faria_khan> Kri ssh command plz
[22:17] <InExile> ok
[22:18] <fryguy--> How can I get xinerama configured with 3d acceleration on both monitors using the fglrx driver
[22:18] <a1> kunwon1
[22:19] <kunwon1> a1?
[22:19] <a1> how do i do that for all the icons?
[22:19] <InExile> the problem is ... I can not even click on it to resize ... as soon as I click on it ... the window shifts up or down
[22:19] <a1> i mean
[22:19] <HaSH> hello all. im using ubuntu server and when i log in it says i have new mail..so i type "mail" and i can see all the mail if from running cronjobs...and there is over 1k mails..how can i erase them all?
[22:19] <the_lost_one> InExile, also while pressing ALT?
[22:20] <InExile> ok
[22:20] <fryguy--> HaSH: man mail should give you a list of commands
[22:20] <HaSH> i tried "d *" "del *" "delete *"
[22:20] <HaSH> fryguy--, none of them are actually removing the mails though
[22:21] <InExile> sweet ... did not fix the overall problem that it does that ... but it did allow me to make it smaller and resize it
[22:21] <a1> there is no simple option to change them all?
[22:21] <the_lost_one> InExile, cool mate, maybe you need also to run gconftool-2 --set /apps/compiz/plugins/move/allscreens/options/constrain_y --type bool 0
[22:21] <kunwon1> a1, go to nautilus preferences>views>icon view defaults, change default zoom level
[22:22] <sudobash> why isnt there a bot in here that answers a lot of common questions automatically?
[22:22] <kunwon1> sudobash, there is
[22:22] <sudobash> without the !
[22:22] <sudobash> yeah i know that but not one that knows when it can answer and when it cannot
[22:22] <HaSH> !bot
[22:22] <sudobash> on its own
[22:22] <kunwon1> sudobash, that would be a very difficult bot to write
[22:23] <HaSH> and spammy
[22:23] <sudobash> not that bad really it is really how you code it
[22:23] <kunwon1> sudobash, programmatically interpreting conversational english is all but impossible. you're welcome to give it a try, though :D let us know how it goes
[22:23] <InExile> cool ... thanks lost
[22:23] <sudobash> not if your good at programming
[22:23] <jason_> why cant i download and run adobe flash player
[22:23] <fryguy--> sudobash: being good at programming doesn't change the complexity of the problem
[22:24] <ompaul> !offtopic | sudobash bot programming is not for here thanks ;-)
[22:24] <sudobash> actually I have they don't allow users bots in here you should know that
[22:24] <carrera> can install packages from Debian repos too. i.e. munin to monitor my box?
[22:24] <mediacenter> I just installed Ubuntu the newest version and I am wondering about how to install Java. Can anyone tell me?
[22:24] <a1> kunwon1: nautilus?
[22:24] <sudobash> a good programmer will find a solution
[22:24] <kunwon1> a1, start a terminal, type nautilus, then open the preferences dialog from the menu, it's in there somewhere
[22:24] <Pici> sudobash: Do you have a question about Ubuntu itself? If not, you can discuss this in #ubuntu-offtopic
[22:24] <kunwon1> a1, then look for the setting I mentioned
[22:25] <jason_> why cant i download adobe
[22:25] <fryguy--> sudobash: yes, and solutions have been discovered, and their implementations leave a lot to be desired.  Take a look at a lot of the search related topics of information theory.  Things like latent semantic indexing.  You'll get a quick handle on how difficult the problem is
[22:25] <fryguy--> How can I get xinerama configured with 3d acceleration on both monitors using the fglrx driver
[22:25] <sudobash> i know where the limitations are and I know of some solutions to the problem....
[22:26] <gerard`> Hay I've destroyed my laptop monitor
[22:26] <ThexLeopard> is anyone else having trouble with downloading files from the repository?
[22:26] <fryguy--> ThexLeopard: no
[22:26] <LoneShadow> Is beta to release candidate to final release, just updation of packages ?
[22:26] <carrera> mediacenter, Applications->Add/Remove Apps then search for Java. Finally click on OpenJDK Java Runtime and Apply Changes
[22:26] <gerard`> and I'm trying to get it to work on an ecternal monitor
[22:26] <gerard`> but I can't figure out how to configure it without x
[22:26] <Pici> !fina; | LoneShadow yes
[22:26] <Pici> !final | LoneShadow yes
[22:26] <LoneShadow> thanks
[22:26] <ThexLeopard> fryguy--, am i missing some files that are involved in the package manager then?
[22:27] <fryguy--> ThexLeopard: no
[22:27] <mediacenter> carrera: thanks. So that is the best option? Heard someone saying a forum that it might not be the ultimate option...?
[22:27] <a1> kunwon1: thanks!
[22:27] <deniz> does ship it not send 64 bit discs anymore??
[22:27] <kunwon1> a1, no problem
[22:27] <ThexLeopard> fryguy--, even if ive been messing around with bits and bobs in an attempt to get my java runtime environment to work?
[22:27] <{alejandro}> hm my compiz is all messed up now
[22:27] <carrera> mediacenter, why not? you can also use the Synaptic Software Manager in System->Administration
[22:28] <{alejandro}> I installed emerald and used it for a while and then compiz stopped working altogether when I reset my computer
[22:28] <carrera> mediacenter, err, Synaptic Package Manager
[22:28] <klync> i just downloaded the flash installer .deb from adobe.com ... says wrong arch (x86, but I'm on ia64)... what gives?
[22:28] <{alejandro}> and dpkg-reconfigure doesn't do anything there...
[22:28] <mediacenter> carrera: not sure about what their logic was.. But ill try what you said:)
[22:28] <fryguy--> klync: you almost certainly aren't on ia64
[22:28] <mstokes_vpn> hey thre
[22:28] <lbci> klync, they are diff arch's:(
[22:28] <Alejo> mmm
[22:29] <Twar3> d
[22:29] <carrera> mediacenter, you can always remove it, if it wasn't what you wanted
[22:29] <klync> fryguy--: x86_64
[22:29] <mstokes_vpn> I have a macbook pro version 5, 1, and I am trying to find driver support for it, anyone that can help?
[22:30] <Some_Person> !botsnack
[22:30] <kunwon1> lol
[22:32] <mediacenter> carerra: thanks for the help. I just installed Ubuntu and then installed Flash and Java. Are there other "basic" things that I should install while im at it?
[22:33] <{alejandro}> How do I reset my gnome/metacity/compiz/emerald settings?
[22:33] <mstokes> so um?
[22:33] <mstokes> anyone that can help me here?
[22:34] <mstokes> new generation macbook? anyone know where there is ubuntu driver support?
[22:34] <mstokes> or at least info on it at all
[22:34] <ortsvorsteher> !mac
[22:34] <lirit> what is the command to upload the ssh pub key to a server?
[22:35] <Some_Person> ﻿{alejandro}: Ok, why do you need to reset gnome, metacity, compiz, and/or emerald settings?
[22:35] <sudobash> whats not working on your mac?
[22:35] <ortsvorsteher> lirit: try it with scp to the server, copy it into authorized_keys
[22:35] <xenos90> trying to run openoffice and firefox at the same time crashes pc, same with openoffice and pidgin, basically office and an internet application together invariably causes crash, any ideas?
[22:35] <kunwon1> mstokes, have you considered intrepid? might have better support for newer hardware. In lieu of a more complete description of your problems, that'd be my recommendation :)
[22:36] <Decepticon> how do i stop this "low graphics mode' dialog box and get higher resolution, i have a geforce fx 5200 outputting via svideo to my tv as the only monitor... i can see stuff but the resolution is too small at 800x600
[22:36] <Supersaiyan_IV> mstokes, i dont think there is full centrino 2 support in linux yet, and even if it exists, the drivers are yet to be made by nvidia
[22:36] <Some_Person> Decepticon: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx
[22:36] <deniz_> did shipit stop shipping 64 bit discs???
[22:38] <mstokes> so far, I have no driver support for the video card, multi touch pad, blue-tooth, sound card, backlighting for the keyboard.
[22:38] <mstokes> so are the things i cannot figure out
[22:38] <sudobash> can I link from my website straight to an ubuntu download mirror if I wanted?
[22:39] <{alejandro}> oh sorry I was up Some_Person - I was messing around with Compiz and Emerald and got them working and for some reason nothing seems to be working anymore
[22:39] <{alejandro}> after I reset
[22:39] <{alejandro}> well metacity works
[22:39] <{alejandro}> but no compiz and I would at least like to start over again
[22:40] <Supersaiyan_IV> mstokes, did you install intrepid?
[22:40] <Some_Person> You can start over with compiz by deleting ~/.compiz
[22:40] <{alejandro}> ok thanks
[22:41] <skath> lirit, ssh-copy-id
[22:42] <kri> hm
[22:42] <kri> still the same problem here

[22:49] <Pelo> anyone have a suggestion how I could add about 2 minutes of silence at the end of a .mp3 ?
[22:49] <soulsearcher> at cole: use something like truecrypt
[22:49] <mn> chaddy: i couldn't figure out how to do it with dd so i am using gnomebaker.
[22:49] <rdancer> Pelo: edit the file in audacity?
[22:49] <Pelo> rdancer, , go in synaptic and do a search for java
[22:49] <mn> thnx
[22:49] <mn> bye
[22:49] <cole> soulsearcher i dont really want to go down the seamonkey/truecrypt road
[22:50] <Some_Person> Pelo: Why the heck would you do that? Anyway, you can use Audacity
[22:50] <rdancer> Pelo: i've searched, and it gives me a crapload of packages
[22:50] <mediacenter> Hi. I just installed Ubuntu today. have installed Java and Flash. Are there other "basic" things that I should install while I am at it?
[22:50] <Pelo> rdancer, is audacity fixed ?
[22:50] <soulsearcher> mmm. i understand
[22:50] <rdancer> Pelo: has it been broken?
[22:50] <kunwon1> mediacenter, do you need to play mp3s?
[22:50] <Pelo> Some_Person,  for a dvd menu,  the music is too short , it loops back to quickly
[22:50] <Some_Person> Pelo: Since when was audacity broken?
[22:50] <soulsearcher> sorry,can't help ya...
[22:50] <rdancer> mediacenter: proprietary codecs
[22:50] <Pelo> rdancer, search for sun java
[22:51] <rdancer> Pelo: still shitloads of packages
[22:51] <Pelo> Some_Person,  it's never worked well for me , keeps telling me it can'T edit mp3 for some reason
[22:51] <Pelo> rdancer, add  jdk to the search
[22:52] <mediacenter> rdancer: what is prprietary codecs?
[22:52] <rdancer> Pelo: use mencoder to convert to wav
[22:52] <Pelo> rdancer,  sun-java6-jdk
[22:52] <mediacenter> kunwon1: downloaded VLC and Elisa Median Center
[22:53] <kunwon1> mediacenter, vlc is a good choice :)
[22:53] <rdancer> is there no free implementation of jdk 1.5?
[22:53] <Some_Person> When you install sun-java6-jdk, does that give you Java32 or Java64 on Ubuntu64?
[22:53] <_786soul> If I install multiple operating systems on an SDHC card, is it possible to have it dual boot like choose which to start up? Say installing ubuntu and bt3 on one sdhc card?
[22:53] <Pelo> rdancer, sun-java5-jdk
[22:53] <ReelBigDick> does anybody knows some good bruteforce for ftp
[22:53] <ReelBigDick> ?
[22:53] <ThexLeopard> is there any way of checking i havent corrupted an important part of my system?
[22:54] <kunwon1> !ot | ReelBigDick
[22:54] <_786soul> ReelBigDick: wrong place to ask
[22:54] <Chousuke> rdancer: the java6 icedtea jdk is the first one with no proprietary dependencies AFAIK
[22:54] <ReelBigDick> maybe pm?
[22:54] <ReelBigDick> _786soul, ??
[22:54] <_786soul> As in this is UBUNTU and not a pentesting channel
[22:54] <rdancer> Chousuke: what's the package name?
[22:54] <Chousuke> rdancer: search for openjdk
[22:55] <ReelBigDick> that's bad
[22:55] <ReelBigDick> greats from russia
[22:55] <_786soul> I can point you towards remote-exploit channel however which is another operating system but deals with 'security'
[22:55] <ReelBigDick> _786soul, it'b nice
[22:55] <kri> what was that free alternative to vmware?
[22:55] <ReelBigDick> _786soul, it'd nice
[22:55] <mediacenter> I can watch youtube.com videos but there is no sound (even thoug the sound is workign when wathcin a DVD from the computer for example). Any idea what I should download or do to fix this?
[22:55] <kunwon1> ReelBigDick, check out ##security. Also, you might want to consider changing your nick, it's quite offensive.
[22:56] <microhaxo>  Hello, is there any way i can install linux via VMware that will allow me to seemlessly switch between an active windows session to an active linux session by simply hitting a hotkey?
[22:56] <ReelBigDick> kunwon1, for russia it's normal
[22:56] <ReelBigDick> thx
[22:57] <lucax> is there any application like time machine for ubuntu?
[22:57] <_786soul> Anyone know if I can dual boot off a SDHC card? BT3 and Ubuntu choose at startup?
[22:57] <rdancer> Chousuke: will that give me /usr/bin/java ? i've installed kaffe, but there are like a dozen packages that provide /usr/bin/java. i'm not sure which one i should use
[22:57] <alinux> kunwon1, don't worry, for russia occupying Georgia is normal too
[22:57] <alinux> :)
[22:57] <deniz_> kri, virtualbox-ose
[22:57] <microhaxo> anyone?
[22:58] <Chousuke> rdancer: you want the openjdk packages.
[22:58] <Flare183> !anyone | mic
[22:58] <Flare183> !anyone | microhaxo
[22:58] <Chousuke> rdancer: kaffe is mostly useless.
[22:58] <microhaxo> I already asked it.
[22:58] <microhaxo>  Hello, is there any way i can install linux via VMware that will allow me to seemlessly switch between an active windows session to an active linux session by simply hitting a hotkey?
[22:58] <kri> deniz_: virtualbox-ose and thats the best?
[22:58] <Agrajag-> g'day. when using pulseaudio, my volume levels are much lower than they used to be, and i can't turn it up very high. and my mic recording volume is extremely low too. any ideas how to fix this?
[22:58] <alinux> ReelBigDick, please change your nick.
[22:59] <ReelBigDick> Aliena, why shoul i?
[22:59] <alinux> as kunwon1 said it's quite offensive.
[22:59] <deniz_> kri, virtualbox supposedly has a few additional features but virtualbox-ose is free in every sense of the word (further than the extent of money)
[22:59] <the_dude> my ubuntu cd doesnt boot.....
[22:59] <Cwave> hello :)
[22:59] <_786soul> the_dude: did you burn the iso file correctly?
[22:59] <ThexLeopard> i need help with the package manager
[22:59] <microhaxo> deniz, should i use virtualbox as well for my question?
[23:00] <kunwon1> !ask | ThexLeopard
[23:00] <alinux> ReelBigDick, please read what kunwon1 wrote above.
[23:00] <the_dude> _786soul, ive downloaded and then i open the nero, and copied the files inside to the cd...
[23:00] <ReelBigXYU> here it is
[23:00] <askand> Has anyone been able to request a CD from shipit?
[23:00] <kunwon1> ReelBigXYU, thanks :)
[23:00] <ReelBigXYU> hope nobody knows russian
[23:00] <ReelBigXYU> $)
[23:00] <alinux> XUI
[23:00] <ThexLeopard> kunwon1, it wont connect to the repository
[23:00] <alinux> XYU is not acceptable too.
[23:00] <ReelBigXYU> Aliena, russian spelling
[23:00] <kri> deniz_: but i can install it on my ubuntu with out changing any file system? and run xp on it?
[23:00] <Rev_> hello can someone help me with the video_out issue of mplayer? it plays only the sound of the video :
[23:00] <ReelBigXYU> shits
[23:01] <Rev_> http://pastebin.com/dfad3e40
[23:01] <kunwon1> ThexLeopard, what is it?
[23:01] <_786soul> the_dude: make sure you have the burn iso image option selected. I also assume upon startup that your boot device priority is set to be from your cd drive first?
[23:01] <Cwave> the_dude  u burn it as iso file or just add normal file .?
[23:01] <bed-man> maybe this?
[23:01] <tgb_> Having issues gettinng sdlmame to see the joystick, jscalibrator sees it fine.  Can anyone point me in a helpful direcction? Thanks in advance!
[23:01] <microhaxo> What program should i use (if any) to allow for seemless switching between my windows os to ubuntu live, vmware virtual box? which one will do that?
[23:01] <Enissay> i deownloaded some themes and when i try to install them with emerald, it says that it does not appear to be a valid theme!!! please help
[23:01] <rdancer> thx, Chousuke et al.
[23:01] <deniz_> kri, i think u can get virtualbox-ose thru repositories with apt-get install virtualbox-ose but for virtualbox u need to download the .deb from its website
[23:01] <the_dude> Cwave, add lika normal one
[23:02] <alinux> bed-man, that's ok dude.
[23:02] <microhaxo> when i say live i mean when active, like press a hotkey and im in linux, press again and im back into windows.
[23:02] <Cwave> the_dude is not you should burn it as iso file so the cd will boot correctly :)
[23:02] <the_dude> _786soul, i can boot windows from both drivers
[23:02] <_786soul> the_dude: it will not work this way. Choose the option that is specifically named 'Burn ISO image"
[23:02] <ThexLeopard> basically kunwon1, i was trying to reinstall my java runtime environment, removing stuff through synaptic package manager, because it wouldnt load java programs on firefox, and now the package manager wont grab files from the repo
[23:02] <the_lost_one> microhaxo, vmware tools do that
[23:02] <kunwon1> ThexLeopard, what program are you using? what command are you issuing to it? what do you expect to happen? what's actually happening? any error messages / pastebinning of actual output would be helpful
[23:02] <bed-man> Aliena, thx a lot
[23:02] <the_dude> Cwave, hm now i got it! maybe ill try it with 8.10
[23:02] <the_dude> _786soul, got it man!
[23:02] <Cwave> the_dude go for it :)
[23:02] <bed-man> alinux, 2 U above
[23:02] <the_dude> Cwave, hell yeah thx man
[23:03] <the_dude> _786soul, thx man
[23:03] <natbet> anyone know how to get around the 2048x2048 resolution max in compiz?
[23:03] <kunwon1> ThexLeopard, elaborate on 'wont grab files from the repo' please. what is happening? How do you know it's failing to get the files?
[23:03] <Cwave> yw dude :)
[23:03] <kri> deniz_: what a hell is the different between virtualbox-ose and virtualbox and to my question can i install windows when i have succesfully installed without any new partions? (my disc is ext3 + swap).
[23:03] <retro89dsaffdsa> Does anyone know how to get the atheros wireless card to work?

[23:09] <the_lost_one> Cwave, you can try some traceroute to those webservers and see if your box can reach them
[23:09] <kunwon1> ThexLeopard, if you want to pastebin your sources.list i'll take a look at it
[23:09] <BubblegumTate> I've destroyed my laptop's monitor and I'm running in the terminal with an external monitor, but it won't startx (or rather it does startx but the screen stays blank) how can I get it to magically work from the terminal? I've tried "sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg"
[23:09] <BubblegumTate> Help please!
[23:09] <kunwon1> ThexLeopard, the problem you describe is unlikely to be caused by your removal of software
[23:09] <Cwave> the_dude no is not the ping is fine but some websites arnt reashed
[23:09] <ThexLeopard> you mean the list it gives when i update apt kunwon1?
[23:10] <kri> ok
[23:10] <blueeyez> does anyone in here use ubuntu on a zepto znote 6625wd??
[23:10] <kunwon1> ThexLeopard, I mean the file /etc/apt/sources.list
[23:10] <ThexLeopard> oh ok
[23:10] <kri> so when i 'sudo apt-get purge X' and y everything goes away?
[23:10] <the_dude> Cwave, man, i had this problem once in windows, i didnt nothing and it came back...
[23:10] <Bullterd> Evening All
[23:11] <Cwave> windows works fine
[23:11] <ThexLeopard> whats the link for pastebinning again kunwon1?

[23:11] <Bullterd> when im setting up a cron job and im specifying a script.sh - What does that .sh compromise off ?
[23:11] <Bullterd> is it the equiv of a batch file in windows ?
[23:11] <thiebaude> !pastebin
[23:11] <blueeyez> is there a page that shows what zeptos ubuntu support?
[23:12] <ThexLeopard> kunwon1, http://paste.ubuntu.com/60280/
[23:12] <kunwon1> ThexLeopard, I don't see any glaring problems in your setup, how long have you been experiencing this problem?
[23:13] <ThexLeopard> few days kunwon1
[23:13] <ThexLeopard> but before a restart would sort it out, now it wont
[23:13] <kunwon1> ThexLeopard, I've heard tell that this problem can be solved by switching to different mirrors, but I don't have any experience with that
[23:13] <dime> is there a flash viewer i should be using?
[23:13] <Armatura> ать же ж бля ублюдки
[23:13] <kunwon1> ThexLeopard, I don't have any other suggestions, sorry
[23:14] <ThexLeopard> ok well thanks anyway kunwon1
[23:14] <kunwon1> !ru | Armatura
[23:14] <dime> atm, i'm using shockwave flash
[23:14] <dime> is there a better one?
[23:15] <kunwon1> dime, that's the best choice for most users
[23:15] <kunwon1> dime, the standard flash plugin I mean
[23:15] <sudobash> you were waiting to do that weren't you....
[23:16] <dime> kunwon: the reason why i ask
[23:16] <kri> can you stay online in some way in sleep mode?
[23:16] <dime> is because i tried loading a forum page that had roughly ~20 or so youtube videos on it
[23:16] <dime> the embedded ones where it loads the image and you can click play from the page
[23:17] <dime> and it causes a segfault in npviewer.bin everytime
[23:17] <dime> then none of them load
[23:18] <blueeyez> is nvidia 8600m gt supported in ubuntu?
[23:18] <dime> check the ubuntu hardware compaibility guide
[23:18] <dime> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsVideoCards
[23:19] <dime> it's there.. next time, do a search
[23:19] <KingOfDos> blueeyez: i've got a 8600GT. but indeed, search :)
[23:19] <KingOfDos> for installing right drivers, use envy
[23:19] <KingOfDos> or do it manual
[23:19] <retro89dsaffdsa> need help etting my atheros card to work?
[23:21] <kunwon1> envy is the last choice, not the first choice
[23:21] <csilk> retro89dsaffdsa, aren't atheros cards suppported ot of the box via "hardware drivers" menu?
[23:22] <retro89dsaffdsa> csilk , not sure
[23:22] <Uplink> how can i change my sounds?

[23:23] <csilk> e.g. madwifi-ng
[23:23] <genii> blueeyez: There's no "Linux compatability check" software that I'm aware of. If it runs the livcd it usually works however

[23:24] <kunwon1> nezza, in the US you generally have to get a judge to approve it, legal fees, etc
[23:24] <csilk> the_lost_one, sorry to hassle you.. after the installation did you have to modprobe ath_pci ?
[23:24] <jrble819> ﻿I'm having trouble with my turtle beach catalina WDM/ENVY24 sound card... I am looking for a good driver or a way to get it working with ubuntu... anyone have any ideas?

[23:26] <nick327> quick question: how can i delete a read only file in cli, or change it so it can be deleted?
[23:26] <nick327> its in /etc/init.d
[23:26] <kunwon1> nick327, sudo rm file
[23:26] <Gnea> nick327: why do you need to remove it? so it won't startup?
[23:26] <nick327> it says its read only
[23:26] <nick327> ya, i copied it there via typo
[23:27] <nick327> and now gnome won't boot
[23:27] <csilk> nick327, sudo rm -f
[23:27] <nick327> tried that, didn't work
[23:27] <sYskk> anyone else is running ubuntu inside vmware workstation ? I can't get to install vmware tools. I see the CDROM icon, but when I list it content it says 0 files/directory. Any idea ?
[23:27] <Gnea> nick327: what file?
[23:27] <nick327> its a script i wrote to mount a partition
[23:27] <nick327> shoudln't have put it there, but hey live and learn
[23:27] <Gnea> nick327: what perms does it have?
[23:27] <nick327> wats a quick way to check?
[23:27] <genii> sYskk: So you're trying to run a virtual machine inside another virtual machine?
[23:27] <Gnea> nick327: it shouldn't matter if it's there as long as you didn't run it through update-rc.d
[23:28] <Gnea> nick327: ls -l /etc/init.d/file
[23:28] <komputes> what is the equivalent in debian for the command 'rpm --verify <packagename>' (verify an installed package & list all files that do NOT pass the verify tests (size, MD5 sig, etc)
[23:28] <kunwon1> nick327, sudo chmod 666 file_to_delete && sudo rm file_to_delete
[23:28] <nick327> ok
[23:28] <NeZZa> hey guys. how can i change my nick. where have I to put in /Nick
[23:28] <Gnea> NeZZa: /nick newnick
[23:28] <the_lost_one> sYskk, you can type mount on a terminal and see where its mounted the vmware tools, /media/cdrom it should contain a tar.gz file
[23:29] <newnick> NeZZa
[23:29] <nick327> it still says its read only
[23:29] <NeZZa> ok
[23:29] <nick327> anyway, i have to go

[23:54] <Bullterd> like if my script creates the tar /home/ollie/foo.tar - how do i get my bash script to overwrite it without asking me ?
[23:54] <kunwon1> Bullterd, you could just remove it first
[23:55] <magnetron> Bullterd→ isn't that the default?
[23:55] <Bullterd> I dunno
[23:55] <tekstacy> Can I install Ubuntu on a machine with an  Atom?

[23:59] <genii> _786soul: Yes if there's room.
[23:59] <_786soul> genii: It is a 16GB card so I think it would be more than enough. Dual boot would work though?
