[00:01] <hacked```> guys, you know grep, how can i make sure that 2 strings are boh on the same line, i tried grep -E '(STRING1|STRING2)' but that fails miserably
[00:01] <pumpkin> i want to burn a DVD under 8.10. The system is a fresh install and it cannot find the DVD-R. Windows and debian find and write these mediums just fine. What next?
[00:01] <minimec> TVVCR6: I don't have a clue.
[00:01] <TVVCR6> D:
[00:01] <TVVCR6> Well what do I do?

[00:02] <apeiron> hacked```, You can either pipe grep repeatedly, or specify multiple patterns with -e
[00:02] <wayneward> pumkin have you updated
[00:02] <storrgie1> erUSUL: anyone here you know that might be able to help with this issue? its been about a week and I only have some little success
[00:02] <matitaccia> Lol... guys I have messed up with the packages. And now firefox doesn't work anymore. LOL!

[00:02] <pumpkin> wayneward, yes.
[00:02] <wayneward> tried k3b?
[00:02] <NET||abuse> hi guys.. we have an older buffalotech terastation, has 4 250GB disks in there in raid array, basicaly it shares out to the network using a simple user and password, it's an smb share, i believe it uses linux and samba(not sure what version) but the others in teh house can connect, using vista with that ntlm v1 and allow lower authentication option turned on. I can seemingly connect, window comes up for the share on the host, but the share is empty, there's
[00:03] <hacked```> apeira, i know | means OR not AND, but & doesnt work for AND
[00:03] <pumpkin> wayneward, it's a freah install and all updates are installed. k3b is not part of the default install and my internet-con is 5KB/s.
[00:03] <NET||abuse> Is there a way to interogate these things a little more closely.? seeing as it is definately working for the windows laptops on the network
[00:03] <hacked```> apeiron, i am using -E
[00:03] <apeiron> hacked```, Yes. That's not how regex works.
[00:03] <apeiron> hacked```, -e is  not -E
[00:03] <ardchoille> I think my alsamixer is broke, it only shows Master. The Volume Control window, however, shows several settings in the Playback tab. How do I get more settings in alsamixer?
[00:03] <Konstanty> ﻿zsquareplusc: are there any scanning programs for ubuntu that are not based on SANE?
[00:03] <wayneward> i use to use > at a console > cdrecord --scanbus
[00:03] <wayneward> see if it can see the writer..
[00:04] <pumpkin> wayneward, yes, the writer is listed as 1,0,0.
[00:04] <wayneward> ah right... so its the app you are using i suppose
[00:04] <wayneward> or permisions
[00:04] <Zzarkc-20> Hey, I need some help installing ubuntu. I've been looking online everywhere, and I can't figure out the beginning partitioning scheme. I'm trying to make a dual boot, and none of the partitioning options will work for me.
[00:05] <minimec> TVVCR6: Open a console an type arecord -l Is the card recognizid? can you http://paste.ubuntu.com/ me the result of arecord -l?
[00:05] <wayneward> what program are you using to write the cd?
[00:05] <zsquareplusc> ardchoille: it shows the pulseaudio device then. you can select which hardware it controls and switch it to the real card
[00:05] <zsquareplusc> Konstanty: don't know i only used xsane
[00:05] <ardchoille> zsquareplusc: How do I do that?
[00:05] <Konstanty> damn
[00:05] <Melik> whats a good program to trransfer music to an ipod?
[00:05] <pumpkin> wayneward, the internal gnome-writer and brasero.

[00:05] <apeiron> !iPod > Melik
[00:06] <eddVRS> hacked```: can you pipe results from one grep to another?
[00:06] <erUSUL> storrgie1: i asked someone he will be here in a while
[00:06] <TVVCR6> minimec: http://paste.ubuntu.com/73580/
[00:06] <zsquareplusc> ardchoille: right click the icon and use the properties dialog
[00:06] <jasuus> !iPod > jasuus
[00:06] <apeiron> eddVRS, Multiple -e invocations does the same thing.
[00:06] <storrgie1> erUSUL: thanks for the continued help!
[00:06] <yoyo> rhythembox works for me...i spelled it wrong though Melik
[00:06] <Spaff> hello, does anyone have any ideas on how to stop my ubuntu remapping my drives each time I try and boot it up from grub? I cannot get it to load as the HDD's always swap round with each reboot. Any help massively appreciated
[00:06] <ardchoille> zsquareplusc: in alsamixer?
[00:06] <Konstanty> ﻿My scanner is apparently not supported by sane.  are there any alternatives?
[00:06] <eddVRS> apeiron: I've not used -e, I'll read up
[00:06] <Zzarkc-20> Anybody got the time to help me install Ubuntu? I can't figure out the beginning partitioning scheme. None of the options on the Live CD will work for me, since I'm trying to make a dual boot.
[00:06] <zsquareplusc> ardchoille: i meant the speaker icon in the gui. qith the cmdline alsamixer, try -c 1
[00:07] <pumpkin> wayneward, the strang thing is: i inserted a blank DVD at work and it created a Blank-CD/DVD icon on the desktop. Now that does no longer works. The empty DVD is ignored...
[00:07] <ikonia> storrgie1: hey man, whats the problem
[00:07] <wayneward> mm
[00:07] <rayr> im trying to make it so my prompt doesnt show my my full path, just the working dir. I know it's in bashirc but I can't seem to find that line, any help?
[00:07] <erUSUL> !dualboot | Zzarkc-20 the installer was designed with dual boot in mind
[00:07] <yoyo> hey guy as far as fstab...how do i make it so I dont have to be root to edit the files in the drives I mount in media....like right now when i try to cut and paste something from one drive to another i have to sudo nautilus it
[00:07] <wayneward> look at your permsions in user settings..
[00:07] <ikonia> rayr: PS1
[00:07] <minimec> TVVCR6: Looks to me that the card is recognized corretly. Is that a clean ubuntu intrepid install?
[00:08] <wayneward> see if you have cd wrting permisions
[00:08] <rayr> k, thanks. Looks like some nasty Regex
[00:08] <ardchoille> zsquareplusc: ah, "-c 0" worked, thanks
[00:08] <Konstanty> ﻿My scanner is apparently not supported by sane.  are there any alternatives?
[00:08] <TVVCR6> minimec: Clean install.
[00:08] <TVVCR6> minimec: Just booted into not too long ago :)
[00:08] <wayneward> try sudo xsane from a prompt...
[00:08] <erUSUL> Konstanty: alternatives to sane? no afaik
[00:08] <gwennn> heeelp!I can't have my visual settings on startup!I wish I have the window manager but it is not loaded because because I have no visual effects
[00:08] <pumpkin> wayneward, i only see "use CD-ROM devices"...
[00:08] <wayneward> mmm
[00:08] <minimec> TVVCR6: So you are using pulseaudio I guess. Do you have some USB Speakers on that machine?
[00:09] <wayneward> weird how you would have access then not
[00:09] <Blonde-ambition> Need help with networking in intrepid64 bit my wifi keeps pulsing signal strengths from 1 to 100% and in between
[00:09] <TVVCR6> minimec: USB speakers?
[00:09] <wayneward> was that before updates or after
[00:09] <toastedmilk> I'm having some ridiculous problems with networking.  Anyone interested?
[00:09] <minimec> TVVCR6: Speakers that you can plug via USb and not via the audio jack.
[00:09] <Gr33n3gg> toastedmilk: Sure
[00:09] <TVVCR6> No
[00:10] <Spaff> ikonia, n8tuser was asking your advice on a problem I had with drives earlier. We have managed to get a bit further but I am still struggling to get my ubuntu to boot. I now know which drive is which and the order they should boot in but each time I reboot the drives swap round according to fdisk, meaning whatever changes I make to my menu.lst are in vain as the HDD's have switched. Any ideas at all?
[00:10] <TVVCR6> I have Logitech X540 speakers
[00:10] <TVVCR6> But one thing comes to mind
[00:10] <pumpkin> wayneward, afterwards. ... where does gnome store the data to copy on the DVD? there has to be a link-dir somewhere ...
[00:10] <TVVCR6> minimec: The 1010LT has multiple outputs
[00:10] <hacked```> edd, why not
[00:10] <ikonia> Spaff: your menu.lst should be using uuid's not /dev/sda style entries
[00:10] <wolki> hi there, i was wondering whether it is possible to run virtualbox with host networking (I want to put apache etc into the vm) and still have my network managed with networkmanager?
[00:10] <conal> i'm new to ubuntu.  does anyone have suggestions for dvd video backup/dup software?  something fast and painless.  also, ripping/conversion to standard (non-dvd) would be great.
[00:10] <TVVCR6> minimec: the speakers are plugged into line 3/4
[00:10] <ikonia> Spaff: that way the uuid makes the disk device not important
[00:10] <toastedmilk> Gr33n3gg, Okay.  My internet works randomly.  Sometimes when I run Gnome it'll work, but when it's not it still says it's connected.  I haven't tested KDE or Xscript, but I imagine they have the same problem.
[00:10] <jannott> !source
[00:10] <zsquareplusc> Spaff: isnt that solved by using the uuid instead of the /dev/sdx?
[00:10] <TVVCR6> But by default the card outputs to line 1/2
[00:10] <apeiron> wolki, Yes.
[00:10] <wayneward> it will just hold that in /tmp
[00:10] <apeiron> !VirtualBox > wolki
[00:10] <ColOfNature> anyone know the easiest way to make my terminal open maximezed?
[00:11] <TVVCR6> minimec: You think that could be the problem?
[00:11] <Spaff> ikonia, I see, so I need to reedit my whole menu.lst?
[00:11] <Blonde-ambition> Anyone?
[00:11] <Gr33n3gg> toastedmilk: Shouldn't matter what DE you run, its probably a problem with your network.
[00:11] <ikonia> Spaff: yup
[00:11] <yoyo> hey guy as far as fstab...how do i make it so I dont have to be root to edit the files in the drives I mount in media....like right now when i try to cut and paste something from one drive to another i have to sudo nautilus it
[00:11] <minimec> TVVCR6: I would try to install pavucontrol via Synaptic. Pavucontrol gives you some configuration and info about Pulseaudio.
[00:11] <ikonia> Spaff: do you know how to use uuid's in grub ?
[00:11] <apeiron> wolki, Just set that up today myself. :)
[00:11] <Zzarkc-20> Right, so in the partitioning, I don't know how much space I can change on one drive, and I want to use parts of other disks. That's my problem with the install.
[00:11] <erUSUL> storrgie1: ask ikonia
[00:11] <toastedmilk> Gr33n3gg, Other devices on the network work fine
[00:11] <TVVCR6> I'll try
[00:11] <ikonia> storrgie1: make it quick, I'm walking up stairs to bed.... ;)
[00:11] <Spaff> ikonia, I'm a frayed knot, if you know a good tutorial or can advise me on a term to google, I'd be mucho grateful
[00:11] <ikonia> Spaff: hang on
[00:12] <toastedmilk> Gr33n3gg, my linksys router is configured, and I have a realtek nic
[00:12] <minimec> TVVCR6: Could be, that you have to choose another output ;)
[00:12] <TVVCR6> :)
[00:12] <Spaff> thanks ikonia
[00:12] <Gr33n3gg> toastedmilk:  Run ifconfig (in the terminal) when your net is down, and see if you have an IP (either by DHCP or static)
[00:12] <conal> A related FAQ pointer would do fine (for DVD backup etc)
[00:12] <Spreadsheet> hello
[00:12] <wolki> apeiron: thanks! I've seen that link, and it involves adding eth0 to /etc/network/interfaces, which in the past disabled network manager for that interface... is that no longer the case?
[00:12] <ikonia> Spaff: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/73584/ there is an example
[00:12] <ColOfNature> what's the easiest way to make my terminal open maximized?
[00:12] <ikonia> Spaff: change the uuid's to reference the correct uuid of your disk
[00:12] <apeiron> wolki, I don't know, I don't use network manager.
[00:13] <zsquareplusc> trying to network booting the livecd.. it doesn't find the network driver in the initrd. is someone with experience in that field?
[00:13] <ikonia> Spaff: get the uuid's with the command "blkid"
[00:13] <tux9778> hi spreadsheet
[00:13] <ikonia> Spaff: does that make sense
[00:13] <Spreadsheet> when i go near the close button the titlebar goes white, someone told me to use emerald but i like the Human titlebar, what can i do?
[00:13] <apeiron> I have a very simple network set up here which won't change--I did this on a desktop.
[00:13] <toastedmilk> Gr33n3gg, Will do.  It's weird though.  When I start the computer it won't work, but when I restart my router and cable modem, it works.
[00:13] <Spreadsheet> im using nVidia
[00:13] <Spreadsheet> i got ubuntu-desktop on kubuntu
[00:13] <Blonde-ambition> anyone in here using intrepid 64bit?
[00:13] <Konstanty> ok, so the only way for me to scan is to use xsane, or some other sane based program, in yet those are incompatible with my scanner.  I am loving getting rid of tinyXP more and more every day
[00:13] <Gr33n3gg> toastedmilk: Whoops, I meant 'ifconfig eth0' or whatever your interface is.
[00:13] <Slart> conal: I use.. devede to create video dvd's.. you have k9copy to make backups.. and acidrip to rip dvds to avis or whatever format you like
[00:13] <rayr> can someone paste me their PS1 line (color) in .basrc?
[00:13] <toastedmilk> Gr33n3gg, yeah, i got it
[00:13] <aprilhare> Blonde-ambition, ya
[00:14] <Slart> conal: that's just the software I've used.. there are lots of alternatives
[00:14] <ikonia> rayr: just google PS1 setting - there are tutorials
[00:14] <rayr> i'm trying to get rid of all dirs other then working from my prompt
[00:14] <Spaff> ikonia, I think so. I get my UUID's with the blkid command then edit my menu.lst as per your pastebin?
[00:14] <rayr> ok
[00:14] <rayr> thanks
[00:14] <ikonia> Spaff: you got it !
[00:14] <conal> Slart: i'll try them.  thx. :)
[00:14] <wolki> apeiron: ah ok, I need NM, but I'll try it. thanks!
[00:14] <Spaff> ikonia, genius, cheers
[00:14] <storrgie> erUSUL: i dropped, dont know if u responded since my question about mounting
[00:14] <Slart> conal: you're welcome
[00:14] <toastedmilk> Gr33n3gg, when it's not working and I ping my router, it returns %0 successful packets
[00:14] <zsquareplusc> Konstanty: you could install windoze in virtualbox for example, it can access usb devices. sad, but it could work so that you could scan w/o dualbooting
[00:14] <Blonde-ambition> aprilhare im having weird issues with me realtek8185 nic my wifi strength keeps pulsing from 1 to 100% and inbetween
[00:14] <ColOfNature> how can i make my terminal open maximized?
[00:14] <Spreadsheet> anyone?
[00:14] <rayr> that's the search I needed PS1 bash setting, thanks
[00:14] <storrgie> How can I mount two disks so that they dont act as removable media?
[00:14] <Gr33n3gg> toastedmilk: Hmm, IMO I would think that its your router and/or network.
[00:15] <TVVCR6> minimec: I installed pavucontrol, now what?
[00:15] <Slart> Spreadsheet: do you expect us to scroll up to find out what the original question was? repeat the whole questions instead
[00:15] <aprilhare> Blonde-ambition, sorry not using laptop using desktop w/ethernet
[00:15] <erUSUL> storrgie: list them and mount them from /etc/fstab
[00:15] <toastedmilk> Gr33n3gg, probably.  thanks!
[00:15] <erUSUL> !fstab | storrgie
[00:15] <TVVCR6> minimec: It says that there are no output devices available o.o
[00:15] <storrgie> erUSUL: but to what mountpoint?
[00:15] <Gr33n3gg> toastedmilk: Try #networking for networking help
[00:15] <Blonde-ambition> i am as well
[00:15] <Blonde-ambition> the chipset in my nci is a realtek8185
[00:15] <Blonde-ambition> nic*
[00:15] <Spreadsheet> im using nVidia and when i go near the close/maximize/minimize buttons the titlebar goes white, and i want to keep the Human titlebars and not use emerald
[00:16] <minimec> TVVCR6: So you have a configuration problem!
[00:16] <erUSUL> storrgie: /mnt/somthing (if you mount them in /media/ they will appear on gnome desktop and in Places)
[00:16] <Spreadsheet> i have Intrepid, ubuntu-desktop on Kubuntu
[00:16] <TVVCR6> minimec: OK?
[00:16] <aprilhare> no networking problems here
[00:16] <aprilhare> sorry
[00:16] <ColOfNature> how can i make my bash terminal maximized by default?
[00:16] <conal> Slart: have you used k9copy in gnome?
[00:16] <kilrae> ah 2.53 GHz of dual core goodness
[00:16] <Blonde-ambition> ok thanks anyways
[00:16] <erUSUL> storrgie: you can mount things in any empty directory you want /media/ and /mnt/ are conventions
[00:16] <Slart> Spreadsheet: you could try asking that in the compiz channel.. they might have better answers for you.. #compiz-fusion is the name
[00:16] <Spreadsheet> anyone?
[00:16] <storrgie> erUSUL: I did do that, here is my fstab: http://pastebin.com/d6c181588
[00:16] <Spreadsheet> ok
[00:17] <storrgie> erUSUL: but when i go there, i cant see any files
[00:17] <Slart> conal: not recently.. but about a year ago or so
[00:17] <SexyJames1337> hi everyone
[00:17] <aprilhare> quad core goodness here 2.4 GHz
[00:17] <Slart> conal: if you're worried that it's an KDE application you don't have to be
[00:17] <TVVCR6> minimec: Where should I look?
[00:17] <Slart> conal: it will run nicely in gnome too
[00:17] <aprilhare> fastest computer here? :)
[00:17] <kilrae> i am in the wrong channel :P i just reinstalled and forgot to change the auto-join
[00:17]  * aprilhare would be surprised if it was
[00:17] <storrgie> erUSUL: http://pastebin.com/d2305c09
[00:18] <conal> Slart: terrific.  yeah, that was my worry.  i'm really new to unix.  just switched from many years on windows.
[00:18] <Spreadsheet> also where do i change my mouse
[00:18] <ColOfNature> how do i make my bash terminal maximized by default?
[00:18] <Spreadsheet> *cursor
[00:18] <erUSUL> storrgie: cat /proc/mounts
[00:18] <Slart> conal: when you install an KDE app it will also install some KDE libraries.. enough to make the application work
[00:18] <splinter> i have a scsi cd rom and when i insert a blank disk it shows up with 7 blank disk on the desk top.  How do i remove them?
[00:18] <SexyJames1337> I'm fairly new to ubuntu, and wanted to install themes. Installed clearlooks without a hitch, but I'm trying to install an icon theme, "glass icons" and it skins some icons but not others, such as firefox, whereas I'm pretty sure it skins icons like that automatically. The same happens with any other icon pack I try. What can I do to make it skin all icons?
[00:19] <storrgie> erUSUL: so messy: http://pastebin.com/d3cb82745
[00:19] <conal> Slart: cool.  i have lots of free disk space.
[00:19] <statim> question for anyone who has ever used centos/rh ... is there something similar to chkconfig and service commands in ubuntu for managing the init.d/rc stuff?
[00:19] <Slart> !boot | statim
[00:19] <ColOfNature> how do i make my bash terminal maximized by default? anyone?
[00:19] <apeiron> SexyJames1337, If it doesn't have an icon for something, it doesn't have it. There's nothing you can do about that.
[00:19] <mike909> splinter: can you right click unmount?
[00:19] <splinter> i have a scsi cd rom and when i insert a blank disk it shows up with 7 blank disk on the desk top.  How do i remove them?
[00:20] <statim> thanks
[00:20] <yoyo> hey guy as far as fstab...how do i make it so I dont have to be root to edit the files in the drives I mount in media....like right now when i try to cut and paste something from one drive to another i have to sudo nautilus it
[00:20] <Gaming4JC> Hello, I just installed Ubuntu 8.10 (I've been using 8.04) and in the Network Connections there is now no option for Normal PPP Dial-Up modems?
[00:20] <SexyJames1337> apeiron: thanks for your reply, but I've checked through the packs and they do have the correct icons. they just dont apply them when I activate the icon theme
[00:20] <Gaming4JC> How can I connect to the internet...?
[00:20] <erUSUL> storrgie: the two volumes appear as no mounted... do "sudo mount -a"
[00:20] <minimec> TVVCR6: Start with that and try to find other links http://www.nabble.com/Ubuntu-Studio-and-Delta-1010-td12228233.html
[00:20] <apeiron> Odd.
[00:20] <SexyJames1337> this is with 8.10 i installed yesterday, just so you know
[00:21] <storrgie> erUSUL: uh oh: http://pastebin.com/d418e4f5d
[00:21] <splinter> mike909 there is no unmount option.
[00:21] <wayneward> still got skipping issues with audio on intrepid is there a lot of difference in the sound server setup compared to 8.0.4?
[00:21] <TVVCR6> minimec: Which mixer should I use? ADC or DAC?
[00:21] <Gaming4JC> Basically on 8.04 you could just go to Network Configuration and enable your PPP Dial-Up Serial Modem... but now
[00:22] <Gaming4JC> I only see DSL...
[00:22] <Gaming4JC> :s
[00:22] <pumpkin> wayneward, and the trick is ...*drums* ... not to follow the powertop recomandation: you need hal pooling the bloody CD/DVD-drive in order to write. At least it now started the backup... ETA 30min.
[00:22] <blinkn1> hello
[00:22] <ColOfNature> can i make my bash terminal maximized by default? for the 7th time...
[00:22] <storrgie> erUSUL: got it, i spelled relatime as realtime
[00:22] <wayneward> so u fixed it!!
[00:22] <minimec> TVVCR6: I have no idea... Sorry
[00:22] <TVVCR6> :(
[00:22] <erUSUL> storrgie: :)
[00:23] <storrgie> erUSUL: best problems are the ones that solve themselves, haha. So now that they are mounted, do i get any indication in my gnome menu?
[00:24] <Spaff> ikonia, editing my menu.lst to include the stuff from your pastebin, I've got "ro single" after the current UUID, do I want to keep or bin this?
[00:24] <erUSUL> storrgie: you shouldn't. it was what you wanted no? if you want them to appear on Places and the like mount them in /media/
[00:24] <pumpkin> wayneward, i will trust the burn tool AFTER i checked the disc with another PC.
[00:24] <matreya6> I'm trying to connect 2 computers running intrepid with a crossover ethernet cable to the 2nd nic of both machines. Both NIC's are crossover sensing. IP-addresses set to 10.0.0.1 /255.255.255.0 and 10.0.0.2 respectively. After I connect the cable Internet on the pc with 10.0.0.2 cuts out. How can I do this properly?
[00:24] <blinkn1> if you had 3 hard drives 300GB,250GB (sata) and 500GB(sata) whcih would be best to install ubuntu with mybuntu ?
[00:24] <storrgie> erUSUL: can I make a 'shortcut' to them?
[00:24] <Gaming4JC> ahem... so how do I dialup on 8.10?
[00:24] <wayneward> going to reboot into another kernel BRB...  bloody skipping is driving me mad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[00:24] <erUSUL> storrgie: yep you can symlink to your destop if you want.
[00:24] <linxeh> matreya6: Im guessing, but perhaps you've got conflicting default routes set up on the two interfaces or something
[00:24] <matreya6> Gaming4JC, through ppp
[00:25] <Gaming4JC> matreya6: It's not like 8.04, how do I access ppp?
[00:25] <Gaming4JC> I usually use the gnome Network Configuration
[00:25] <ColOfNature> 8: can i make my bash terminal maximized by default?
[00:25] <TVVCR6> What the hell?
[00:26] <TVVCR6> I can't log in as root. Can someone help me?
[00:26] <SexyJames1337> When i install icon theme packs, it doesnt skin all icons e.g. for firefox, even though it comes with those applicable icons. It only skins some. What could be the problem?
[00:26] <Slart> ColOfNature: I'm sure you've already seen this forum thread... I mean.. since it was the first hit when I googled... http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=482203... oh.. and I think it's mentioned in the man page too..
[00:26] <erUSUL> !root | TVVCR6
[00:26] <matreya6> Gaming4JC, do you have a working driver for your modem?
[00:26] <minimec> TVVCR6: sudo -i
[00:26] <TVVCR6> oops
[00:26] <TVVCR6> Thanks
[00:26] <user777> is there a way to import/transfer the customized appearance settings of one user to a livecd so those cutom appearances will be there when booting from the cd?
[00:26] <splinter> is there a good cd label maker for ubuntu 8.10?
[00:27] <matreya6> linxeh: both default routes are set to my adsl router
[00:27] <Spreadsheet> splinter: CD Labels? like lightscribe?
[00:27] <ColOfNature> Slart: no, obviously my google-fu sucks. thanks.
[00:27] <Spreadsheet> i believe they have something on Lucenta (or something)
[00:27] <Gaming4JC> matreya6: I've been using Ubuntu 8.04, yes. It's a Linux Hardware Modem by Trendnet from New Egg. All I need to know is how to Dial up via the normal (but now updated) System->Administration->Network.
[00:27] <erUSUL> storrgie: but if you want them to appear on your desktop is easier to just mount them under /media/
[00:27] <erUSUL> storrgie: instead of /mnt/
[00:27] <`vip> quick question, thinking of switching back to nix, but need to know if I can use internet sharing from my tmobile wing
[00:27] <TVVCR6> Now it's not letting me cd to the desktop
[00:28] <rdz> ikonia, you still awake?
[00:28] <splinter> Spreadsheet, no, like a normal label maker that you can make 2 offset labels one at a time ..
[00:28] <Spreadsheet> oh
[00:28] <Spreadsheet> i dont know
[00:28] <matreya6> Gaming4JC, is there any row referring to your modem in Network Manager?
[00:28] <mike909> anyone have an easy way to make evolution send me email alerts for meetings?
[00:28] <rdz> ikonia, i accidently solved the acpi-cpufreq compiling issue.. i just symlinked Module.symvers from linux-headers-$VERSION to linux-source-$VERSION
[00:28] <Slart> `vip: tmobile wing??.. you can use your computer as a router if you want that.. type !ics here in the channel for some bot goodness
[00:29] <TVVCR6> !nvidia
[00:29] <Gaming4JC> matreya6: I'm in WindowsXP right now. But I think I found something over at http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=6072919&postcount=14
[00:29] <SexyJames1337> I'm trying to install icon theme packs but they only skin some icons, not all even though the packs contain the icons for those applicable programs/folders etc. Can anyone help?
[00:29] <Gaming4JC> I'm going to do a manual terminal command and see if I can't get to it...
[00:29] <`vip> slart, the reason i ask is because I dont have internet where i live. my wife and i sold out house to move in with her parents so my wife can take care of her father while her mother works ... and my mother in law doesnt see it fit to have an internet connection because she is technology disabled
[00:29] <`vip> :l
[00:29] <Gaming4JC> brb
[00:30] <wayneward> seems slicker on the 2.6.27-8-generic kernel
[00:30] <`vip> so right now my only inet connection is through my phone, which isnt that slow
[00:30] <wayneward> no skipping so far......
[00:30] <CarlFK> what is the .deb to install flash in firefox?
[00:30] <Qster> i need a script to be run on boot before login what is the best way i go about this? its just executing a program
[00:30] <wayneward> i think its the  kernel 2.6.27-7-eeepc-lean kernel
[00:30] <CarlFK> flashplugin-nonfree i thik...
[00:31] <Slart> `vip: ahh.. now I see.. yes that should work.. if you can get ubuntu to talk to the phone and get it connected that way you can share that connection to other computers on a local lan or something
[00:31] <djhash> how can I compare 2 text files
[00:31] <Freek> What file systems should I use when partitioning my hard drive for \, home, and swap?
[00:31] <`vip> Slart, ok ... because now with windows i just plug it in via USB, and click connect
[00:31] <wayneward> ill just compile the mad wifi driver and use the stock ubuntu kernel i think its fixed it!!!!!!!
[00:31] <wayneward> great
[00:32] <ColOfNature> Slart: actually, i had seen it elsewhere and it doesn't answer the question. I want to start the terminal maximized; ie  not at a particular size but at the maximum size
[00:32] <lindenle> is g++-3.4 not in ibex?
[00:32] <CarlFK> Freek: ext3 for / and home, swap for swap
[00:32] <Spreadsheet> lindenle: no
[00:32] <Spreadsheet> its not o_0
[00:32] <Spreadsheet> i had to apt-get it
[00:32] <Freek> There's a "swap" file system?
[00:32] <lindenle> Spreadsheet: from where
[00:32] <Slart> `vip: the hard part is getting the internet connection working on the phone.. I use my mobile phone for internet connection from my laptop and it works.. but it took a while and several phone calls to my mobile phone carrier before I found someone that at least understood what I was asking about
[00:32] <matreya6> How do I get Network Manager to delete lines in /etc/resolv.conf? I made the file unwritable by root, but still that line gets deleted.
[00:32] <lindenle> i cannot apt-get install it
[00:32] <Spreadsheet> Freek: no
[00:32] <Spreadsheet> lindenle: huh
[00:32] <ColOfNature> Slart: oops, sorry. tl;dr my mistake
[00:32] <`vip> ok
[00:32] <Spreadsheet> i forgot
[00:33] <Spreadsheet> i might not have
[00:33] <lindenle> Spreadsheet No candidate version found for g++-3.4
[00:33] <mike909> djhash: use sdiff file1 file2
[00:33] <`vip> many thanks, Slart
[00:33] <Spreadsheet> i was trying to do something in KDE
[00:33] <matreya6> How do I get Network Manager to stop deleting lines in /etc/resolv.conf? I made the file unwritable by root, but still that line gets deleted.
[00:33] <Spreadsheet> lindenle: sorry i dont know
[00:33] <user777> is there a way to import/transfer the customized appearance settings of one user to a livecd so those cutom appearances will be there when booting from the cd?
[00:33] <Freek> What sizes should I use for my partitions: Win2k, \, home, and swap?
[00:33] <Slart> `vip: you're welcome and good luck
[00:34] <Slart> matreya6: what are you trying to do? use a special dns-server before using one of the dhcp supplied ones?
[00:34] <Freek> I have a 40 GB hard drive
[00:34] <mike909> anyone have an easy way to make evolution send me email alerts for meetings?
[00:34] <matreya6> Freek, use 2x your RAM size for swap, the rest of the sizes
[00:34] <kfonda> !ics
[00:35] <SexyJames1337> hi, im trying to install icon theme packs but they wont skin all of the icons on my pc, only some, even though the packs contain those icons. what could be the problem?
[00:35] <Slart> Freek: I'd go with 20GB for /, 1xRAM for swap and the rest for /home
[00:35] <Spaff> right, anyone? I thought my ubuntu wouldn't load up because my HDD's kept swapping position however my grub menu.lst definitely has the correct UUID of the root partition it should be using therefore the root (hd2,4) shouldn't matter, right? Anyone have any ideas?
[00:35] <Freek> What about Win2k?
[00:35] <matreya6> Slart, I'm trying to tie 2 computers together on their 2nd ethernet devices, using a crosslink cable. As soon as I connect the cable Network Manager deletes my nameserver gateway line
[00:36] <d0nets> hey if i followed this tutorial ( http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&ct=res&cd=3&url=http%3A%2F%2Flifehacker.com%2Fsoftware%2Fhow-to%2Fset-up-vnc-on-ubuntu-in-four-steps-317125.php&ei=ug0iSduSE5y-MbvZme0J&usg=AFQjCNH5iPzCq9tIcLeaDymmi57wlkVbrA&sig2=JSJ0r4VzHfAd-k5Yate5Qw )
[00:36] <d0nets> how do i remove the password
[00:36] <d0nets> im trying to test out android-vnc-viewer
[00:36] <d0nets> but it doesnt have password support yet
[00:36] <elementz_> how do i 'echo' to /proc/acpi/ibm/bluetooth ? doing it via 'sudo echo "disable" > bluetooth' gives me a permission denied...
[00:37] <Slart> Freek: ah..I think I'd put /home and / on the same partition.. due to the size constraints.. so 20 for /, 1xRAM for swap and the rest for win2k
[00:37] <djhash> would ubuntu's performace get squashed if I install 32bit on 64bit system?
[00:37] <BanjoX> not from my experience, djhash
[00:37] <Slart> matreya6: so.. you want computer 2 to use computer 1 for dns resolution?
[00:37] <matreya6> djhash, no, but you would be unable to use the 64-bit specific opcodes
[00:38] <zsquareplusc> d0nets: you try to share the desktop or a separate vnc server?
[00:38] <djhash> matreya6: and I guess if I have to ask what are those.. then it shouldn't matter right :-)
[00:39] <BanjoX> lol
[00:39] <mike909> anyone have an easy way to make evolution send me email alerts for alarms?
[00:39] <basti> what is the easiest/fastest way to move / to another partition? rsync seems to have problems with /proc or can these errors be ignored? do i have to use dd?
[00:39] <zsquareplusc> d0nets: instead of that howto.. you can also share your desktop from the system->prefs->.. there you can also set it to no password (but ask user instead)
[00:39] <Slart> basti: you shouldn't be copying /proc
[00:39] <matreya6> Slart, no I want the 2nd interface only on IP-level, no dns required there. Still Network Manager seems to freak out when I connect the 2nd interface, thereby disabling DNS resolution for my first interface in the prcess :-(
[00:39] <Slart> basti: it's generated at boot, iirc..
[00:39] <basti> Slart, i just did sudo rsync -va / /media/neuesroot/
[00:39] <djhash> basti: use dd
[00:40] <basti> ok
[00:40] <zsquareplusc> matreya6: it runs a zeroconfig network if you use  a cross cable. you'll get a 169... IP, right?
[00:40] <djhash> basti: ofcourse make sure the destination is atleast as large as the source
[00:40] <Slart> matreya6: nggh.. it's to late at night (or early in the morning) for those kinds of problems =)
[00:40] <basti> sure...
[00:41] <Gaming4JC> ok I just tried connecting using pppconfig, but that didn't work. Can I DIAL-UP using PPP with my working SERIAL MODEM... in the NETWORK MANAGER. Please let me know. :)
[00:41] <Gaming4JC> It's changed since 8.04...
[00:41] <matreya6> zsquareplusc, No I get the IP-adresses I have assigned manually via ifconfig, namely 10.0.0.1 and 10.0.0.2, with 255.255.255.0 as netmask for both NIC's in both computers
[00:42] <Slart> basti: if I were you I'd start thinking of a way to stop it from copying the /proc tree.. I don't know how to do it though.. perhaps there is a switch to make rsync ignore certain paths or something
[00:42] <basti> dd takes a long time, doesnt it? im thinking about reinstalling
[00:42] <Falstius> *sigh* just upgraded to Intrepid and gdm isn't coming up.  What is Rgbpath and why is it in my xorg.conf file (I didn't put it there)?
[00:42] <calwig> Jordan_U: im here
[00:42] <calwig> Jordan_U: read your comment, im on 8.04
[00:42] <matreya6> zsquareplusc, basically I want this 2nd (Gigabit) connection to transfer my files from my old box to my spanking new one, since my external HDD drive kicked the can.
[00:42] <jabagawee> hey guys, the screen resolution administration applet ain't giving me the full 1920x1080 resolution i know my tv can do, instead giving me the danged 1280x1024 res it's used to. any way to fix it without delving into xorg.conf?
[00:43] <Gaming4JC> matreya6: Any idea on how to Dial-Up through the Network Manager? My Modem has always been supported before, even on ye'ol Red Hat!
[00:43] <Gaming4JC> :)
[00:43] <matreya6> zsquareplusc, I don't have a Gigabit switch and I'd like some when transfering all thos files
[00:43] <storrgie> erUSLA gone?
[00:43] <rdz> hi all. is it true that -rt kernels don't support smp?
[00:43] <storrgie> :(
[00:44] <Gaming4JC> ...
[00:44] <zsquareplusc> mantequilla: if its the only connection, just leaving everything on automatic should get you a zerconf network. but you mention 2 network interfaces in the pc
[00:44] <storrgie> anyone really familiar with network manager?
[00:44] <matreya6> Gaming4JC, as you might have seen, I'm not to keen on Network Manager, I always configure interfaces via configuration files if possible.
[00:45] <matreya6> Gaming4JC, in short: 'No I don't know how to do that"
[00:45] <yoyo> hey guy as far as fstab...how do i make it so I dont have to be root to edit the files in the drives I mount in media....like right now when i try to cut and paste something from one drive to another i have to sudo nautilus it
[00:45] <Gaming4JC> ok...
[00:46] <matthew> hi
[00:46] <zsquareplusc> i dont seem to have the network manager in the settings...
[00:46] <tom__> hi
[00:46] <matthew> how you all
[00:46] <tom__> does anyone have a nds r4
[00:47] <Gaming4JC> I'll keep messing around with Gnome-ppp. I'm pretty saddened by the lack of Dial-Up support in Interpred. Hardy was better.
[00:47] <matthew> yes
[00:47] <lazukars> Where would you find drivers for the Intel® P45 + ICH10R Chipset?
[00:47] <tom__> where do u download roms
[00:47] <tom__> ?
[00:47] <droids-> how do i change my default nickname for irssi?
[00:47] <lazukars> droids- /nick whatever
[00:48] <Falstius> yoyo: if the drive is formatted ext3, you need to use chmod.
[00:48] <matreya6> zsquareplusc, That's promising, I run the Firestarter firewall, could that have to do something with what I'm experiencing right now?
[00:48] <tom__> how can i remove ubuntu?
[00:48] <Gaming4JC> brb again >_<
[00:48] <matthew> under google
[00:48] <TVVCR6> ARgh
[00:48] <TVVCR6> I'm a bit rusty, I swear I've done it before
[00:48] <matthew> format
[00:48] <Falstius> (or any other fs that supports linux permissions)
[00:48] <Jordan_U> calwig: Can you try the backported libdvdnav from the ppa mentioned in the bug report?
[00:48] <TVVCR6> How do I restart xserver?
[00:48] <matreya6> tom_, What part of ubuntu do you want to remove, the bootloader?
[00:48] <TVVCR6> Well, the graphics thingy
[00:48] <TVVCR6> Wasn't it init 1?
[00:48] <yoyo> Falstius: theres nothing i can set in the fstab to give root privledges?  Also how do i use chmod?
[00:48] <lazukars> Motherboard drivers for Linux (Ubuntu).  Where do you find them?
[00:48] <TVVCR6> !xserver
[00:49] <TVVCR6> !sorg
[00:49] <TVVCR6> !xorg
[00:49] <Falstius> TVVCR6: ctrl-alt-backspace
[00:49] <zsquareplusc> matreya6: i don't think that writes resolv.conf, or does it?
[00:49] <TVVCR6> Sorry, meant xorg
[00:49] <matreya6> TVVCR6, try Ctrl + [Backspace]
[00:49] <TVVCR6> Thanks
[00:49] <matthew> xsorg is part of linux
[00:49] <TVVCR6> yep
[00:49] <droids-> lazukars: i mean, it won't let me connect because i have an 'erroneous nickname', and since i'm not connected, it won't let me /nick to change it.
[00:50] <Falstius> yoyo: in fstab you can set who can mount and umount a partition, but to actually allow writing and reading you generally need to change the permissions (unless this is a NTFS drive).
[00:50] <matreya6> zsquareplusc, I'm just pulling at straws I guess :-/
[00:50] <tom__> how can i remonve ubuntu?
[00:50] <matthew> has anyone got an old computer i can do up
[00:50] <Falstius> yoyo: for chmod, it would be something like chmod a+rwX /media/disk   but you should check the man page.
[00:50] <tom__> how can i install windows and take away ubuntu\
[00:50] <rhsanborn> Does the new network manager with gnome support ndiswrapper?
[00:50] <matthew> yep
[00:50] <Jordan_U> tom__: Just install windows over Ubuntu
[00:50] <tom__> help
[00:50] <tom__> how?
[00:50] <Falstius> tom__: do you know how to install windows?
[00:50] <the99zChris> hey i switched to xfce to lower system demand and my volume buttons no longer work (laptop), play stop for. rev. still work though - and opening gome volume control doesn't change anything
[00:50] <ohubuntu> this is weird. or maybe not, hoping for an explanation...  i can't type in 'transparent' anywhere in firefox without it closing, i can't save a file called 'transparent' without the associated ap closing... is it normal?
[00:50] <tom__> no
[00:51] <thiebaude> tom_:install windows
[00:51] <tom__> how
[00:51] <Falstius> tom__: then you're in the wrong place.
[00:51] <matthew> yes you can install windows on a top of it
[00:51] <tom__> wait
[00:51] <tom__> i klnow how
[00:51] <Jordan_U> tom__: Ask in ##windows for help installing windows
[00:51] <tom__> but
[00:51] <tom__> it wont work
[00:51] <matthew> i love windows 98
[00:51] <matthew> and xp home
[00:51] <zsquareplusc> matthew: because of teh viri? ;-)
[00:52] <matreya6> tom_: thw Windows installer gives you ample opportunity to remove the linux partititions so you can reclaim the space. This has to be done in the screen where setup asks you which disk to use as system disk.
[00:52] <tom__> ok
[00:52] <droids-> lazukars: never mind.  just realized that it was on the man page.
[00:52] <droids-> :B
[00:52] <tom__> yea baby
[00:52] <gilster> do you guys know the XKCD 'man' cartoon?
[00:53] <matthew> can ubuntu have 2 screens ?
[00:53] <matreya6> zsquareplusc, matthew, I run both Linux (day to day basis) and sometimes WinXP Prof. (for some games that won't work under Wine yet)
[00:53] <xiangfu> matthew: yes
[00:53] <cak054_> yes two or more as many as you want check on youtube
[00:53] <tom__> suck my dick sir
[00:53] <lazukars> Motherboard Drivers for Linux(Ubuntu).  Where do you find them?
[00:53] <zsquareplusc> matthew: yes. as 2 separate x servers or with xinerama
[00:53] <matthew> i know thats sucks ah
[00:53] <matreya6> !language | tom_
[00:54] <ohubuntu> transparent
[00:54] <xiangfu> matthew: if you have a NVDIA card , you can make two screen both 3d desktop
[00:54] <matthew> i have a dual boot system
[00:54] <matthew> and i have Windows Xp Pro made in 2002
[00:54] <Falstius> xiangfu: matthew: you don't need an nvidia card to get dual monitors.
[00:55] <xiangfu> Falstius: i mean dual 3d desktop.
[00:55] <rhsanborn> In 8.10 is network manager supposed to start in the 'system tray' (sorry, only know the windows term)
[00:55] <Falstius> xiangu: you don't need an nvidia card for dual 3d desktop.
[00:56] <matthew> i thought you need a duel video card
[00:56] <matreya6> gilster, no I have never heard of that cartoon, is it any good, if yes: where can I find it/
[00:56] <Falstius> matthew: or two video cards.
[00:56] <rhsanborn> matreya6, very good. www.xkcd.com
[00:56] <dori> has anyone had issues with the cursor image going crazy (comes up as a square of random junk)? it's happened to me in KDE and in XFCE, running 8.10
[00:56] <xiangfu> Falstius: my video card is ATI, i can't set up 2 3d-desktop.
[00:56] <gilster> matreya6: do you know xkcd?
[00:57] <gilster> there is great RTFM cartoon on it....i recomment it to all you people how love and hate the 'man'
[00:57] <gilster> who^
[00:57] <xiangfu> Falstius: two video cards. yes. :-)
[00:57] <matthew> i have a AMD atlion Dual Core 2.9 Ghz System cool ah and about 512 of ram
[00:57] <Falstius> xiangfu: some ati cards have a virtual desktop limit of 2048x2048.  So you might have to put one monitor logically above the other.
[00:58] <xiangfu> Falstius: i will google that. thanks.
[00:58] <matreya6> rhsanborn, Thanks for the link, it's a nice thoughtful cartoon
[00:58] <matthew> i am going to make a new computer up next year useing ubuntu
[00:59] <Krzysztof> I need huge help.
[00:59] <binarymutant> xkcd is the best comic on the net btw!!
[00:59] <matthew> dual screen as well
[00:59] <bazaab> Question - Can you directly upgrade the 32bit version of Ubuntu to the 64bit version?
[00:59] <matthew> yes
[00:59] <Falstius> xiangfu: there is actually a pretty good writeup in the thinkwiki wiki.
[00:59] <matreya6> Krysztof: Just ask your question
[00:59] <Krzysztof> I need to reinstall Ubuntu on my laptop (which as a G-book). So I put the Ubuntu ISO on a CD-R disk.
[00:59] <matthew> as long you have a 64bit computer
[00:59] <storrgie> I need some help from someone who understands networkmanager
[01:00] <Krzysztof> And when I put it on my laptop...It goes to the screen. Language.
[01:00] <bazaab> matthew: I do. I installed the 32b version because of Adobe Flash
[01:00] <Jordan_U> !ask | storrgie
[01:00] <Krzysztof> I choose English and then it loads, and loads, and loads.
[01:00] <calwig> Jordan_U: sure i can, how do i do that. go thru synaptic
[01:00] <rhsanborn> bazaab, beta at best, but I think adobe release the 64 bit linux version today
[01:00] <Krzysztof> And then it comes to this weird background and then the mouse pointer goes crazy and it freezes.
[01:00] <matthew> how much ram do you have ?
[01:01] <Krzysztof> Me?
[01:01] <matthew> yep
[01:01] <matreya6> Krzysztof, ah sounds like you have an nVidia card, right?
[01:01] <storrgie> Jordan_U: you dont understand, i have been at this networking issue for 9 nights, its due to network manager, I just need someone who understands how it works
[01:01] <Krzysztof> Not a clue, I'd have to look up the specifications on the internet.
[01:01] <Falstius> rhsanborn: alpha, and that is by adobe standards.
[01:01] <Krzysztof> I do, Materya.
[01:01] <Krzysztof> Wai
[01:01] <nintendork32> firefox isnt working any help?
[01:01] <Krzysztof> Wait*
[01:01] <Krzysztof> let me check @ Mater
[01:01] <matreya6> Krzysztof, Try running it in Safe Graphics mode
[01:01] <rhsanborn> Falstius, corrected
[01:01] <BanjoX> I need to install 8.10 on my laptop, I can barely boot from cd (drive on last leg)..I am in ubuntu with live cd now, as soon as the installer starts reading files from cd it errors (i/o, cd drive failure)..so, can I run ubiquity with an option to install from iso?
[01:01] <SilentDis> hello.  Odd one here.  I have a DVD with both UDF and ISO sets (the new Wrath of the Litch King Expansion for World of Warcraft).  Ubuntu auto mounted it as UDF (for mac).  what filesystem am I looking to mount this on?
[01:02] <Krzysztof> I believe I do @ Mater.
[01:02] <nintendork32> it opens and has a tab on the toolbar saying "Strating firefox" but then it closes
[01:02] <Jordan_U> storrgie: No harm in asking your question, pastebin it if you don't want to keep typing an explanation over and over
[01:02] <calwig> Jordan_U: will have to read this issue a bi more proabably later, i must get going now, but it seems like it could work somehow :) will you be here perhaps another time, tomorrow? i could use the help from a good peasant :)
[01:02] <Krzysztof> I have the EvereX Notebook.
[01:02] <matthew> my sond card is packing a sad help me please anyone ?
[01:02] <blinkn1> SilentDis:how is northrend
[01:02] <matthew> i mean sound card
[01:02] <Spaff> right, anyone? I thought my ubuntu wouldn't load up because my HDD's kept swapping position however my grub menu.lst definitely has the correct UUID of the root partition it should be using therefore the root (hd2,4) shouldn't matter, right? Anyone have any ideas?
[01:02] <SilentDis> blinkn1: no idea, can't get the DVD mounted right to perform the install lol
[01:02] <matreya6> Krzysztof, Do you see alternating dirty green lines?
[01:02] <Jordan_U> calwig: I will probably be here tomorrow
[01:03] <self> http://tinyurl.com/249rjg
[01:03] <Krzysztof> Matreya6: When I insert the disk, choose, a language and let it run? Or just press the on button/
[01:03] <matreya6> Krzysztof, try F4 first to change it to safe mode first.
[01:03] <SilentDis> blinkn1: it's mounting the Mac side of the DVD, i need it to mount the 'windows' side, or, more specifically, whatever the name for 'iso' on a DVD is :)
[01:04] <matthew> do you people live in new zealand
[01:04] <calwig> Jordan_U: will do, thanks then, should i read something before i install it from the backported reps?
[01:04] <Krzysztof> Matreya: When I just press the on button?
[01:04] <self> http://tinyurl.com/249rjg Check this, it might help.
[01:04] <mneptok> SilentDis: how do you plan to run the Mac installer if you *do* mount it?
[01:04] <matreya6> Krzysztof, no, are you running the Live CD?
[01:04] <SilentDis> mneptok: that's the problem.  I need to mount the windows side.  ubuntu is automounting the mac side
[01:05] <Jordan_U> calwig: No, just don't update any other packages while you have that repository enabled, and if it breaks something then remove the repo and re-install the standard package
[01:05] <mneptok> SilentDis: side? or session?

[01:05] <marcelo> hello
[01:05] <matthew> hi
[01:05] <Krzysztof> Matreya: I WAS running a disk that I burned and mounted an ISO on. But if I don't have that in the disktray when I turn on my computer it goes to a MemTest 0.86 or something that effect.
[01:05] <marcelo> does anyone know the difference between the envy NVidia driver and the default restricted that Ubuntu installs?
[01:05] <Krzysztof> 1.70
[01:06] <Jordan_U> marcelo: Envy will always install the latest driver available
[01:06] <SilentDis> mneptok: blizzard puts out a 'universal' disk that will mount under windows and mac, but with different file systems and files for each, to allow both mac and windows users to use the same disk.  ubuntu has taken it upon itself to mount the mac version, and i can't remember how to mount a dvd like this on the windows side instead.
[01:06] <marcelo> Jordan_U, hmm, thanks
[01:06] <calwig> Jordan_U: ok ill have a look, although i dont have a movie to try anymore so i will have to see perhaps buy one
[01:06] <calwig> Jordan_U: im renting them now,
[01:06] <Raffle> hi, when i try burning the ubuntu iso on my cd it doesnt burn
[01:06] <mneptok> SilentDis: side? or session?
[01:06] <apeiron> SilentDis, This may be too easy, but have you tried iso9660?
[01:06] <matthew> you can go to applications and add or remove programes and download it
[01:07] <candive> Hi everyone, what is the command in terminal to update firefox?
[01:07] <wos> !tv-cards-that-work

[01:07] <calwig> Jordan_U: thanks again for all the info
[01:07] <calwig> im outs
[01:07] <Jordan_U> calwig: np
[01:07] <SilentDis> apeiron: 1 moment, yes i have, let me grab the error again
[01:07] <wos> !tv
[01:07] <mneptok> SilentDis: "side" implies you flip the disc over and use anothe side. "session" is another filesystem burned onto the same side of the physical media.
[01:07] <wos> !mythtv
[01:07] <soho> is Jaunty Jackalope ready for testing?
[01:07] <SilentDis> mneptok: I mistyped when i said side, my apologies.
[01:07] <apeiron> bob123, Toss it to Perl or Python or such.
[01:07] <Raffle> hi, when i try burning the ubuntu iso on my cd it doesnt burn
[01:07] <jrib> !jaunty | soho
[01:08] <bob123> ah no simple way to do it with a command line ?
[01:08] <soho> damn
[01:08] <matreya6> Krzysztof, ok when the LiveCD loads, you get a screen that allows you to run the LiveCD session, or to install Ubuntu. When you press F4 there, you can select a safe graphics mode. After that you can just run the LiveCD.
[01:08] <Jordan_U> storrgie: What is your question about network-manager? I am by no means an expert but I do know a bit about it
[01:08] <soho> i thought a alpha for it was out?
[01:08] <matthew> did you know you can get a 3Tearbyte hard drive now pbtech.co.nz
[01:08] <apeiron> bob123, Not sure in the generic sense.
[01:08] <jrib> soho: #ubuntu+1

[01:09] <netzapper> I'm trying to set up Optical out in alsa on my Hardy Heron box.  'speaker-test' works if I specify just precisely the right output format and device.  How do I get Ubuntu to use that format and device by default for everything?

[01:10] <mneptok> soho: if you have a question, ask it. polling every user about the software they use is not in liune with the channel's purpose.
[01:10] <Blaze1454> Raffle: What program are you using to burn ubunto to the disk?
[01:10] <EJ> is this the correct command to add a user to the www group : sudo useradd -G www <user>
[01:10] <apeiron> I prefer select(), myself.
[01:10] <jrib> soho: this is a support channel.  If you are looking to discuss other people's linux usage, use #ubuntu-offtopic instead of #ubuntu

[01:11] <Russak> Hello. I'm currently on Intrepid Ibex and was wondering if anyone knew about an issue with Intel integrated graphics cards and resuming from Hibernation or Suspend. I can't resume from either, I get to a black screen(doesn't appear to be backlit) and can't do a thing except hold down the power button. Ctrl+Alt+Backspace does nothing.
[01:11] <jrib> EJ: well maybe, but I don't use useradd.  Just do: adduser USER www
[01:11] <Krzysztof> Matreya: When I insert the disk it goes to a screen for Ubuntu, where it say "Try Ubuntu without chanes", "Install", "Check CD for Defects", "Test memory.", or "Boot from first hard disk." Which do I select?
[01:11] <soho> ok
[01:11] <EJ> jrib: ok thanks
[01:11] <droids-> my sound cuts out whenever i try to use the multiplayer mode.
[01:11] <Jordan_U> Raffle: What happens when you try to burn it exactly, is there an error message?
[01:11] <droids-> the sound dies for my whole system, that is.
[01:12] <droids-> and i have to reboot for it to work.
[01:12] <Raffle> nope
[01:12] <mneptok> Raffle: did you md5sum the .iso file you downloaded?
[01:12] <Raffle> it says it is burned
[01:12] <Krzysztof> Matreya: I've tried "Check CD for Defects" No defects.
[01:12] <glick> anyone try the latest ubuntu in microsoft virtual PC?
[01:12] <Raffle> i didnt understand the md5sum for windows
[01:12] <glick> i cant get it to boot

[01:13] <Falstius> Russak: I have a similar problem with my laptop running fedora.  Setting the 'virtual' line in my xorg.conf file (there for dual monitors) to a legal value helped but it still doesn't always resume correctly.
[01:13] <matreya6> Krzysztof, first of all, press F4. a popup menu should open, allowing you to select the safe graphics mode, aftter you have selcted that, just go to the row that starts with Try...
[01:13] <matreya6> Krzysztof, sorry about my spelling errors, it's a bit late in the Netherlands now.
[01:13] <ekontsevoy> Has anyone heard of a fonts fix for Intrepid? After upgrading to 8.10 I can't get smooth fonts back: seems like BCI has been disabled again in FreeType?
[01:13] <Guest89697> nvdio 3D grapics has buggey driver it has been suggested that if you use nvidia for #D dont upgrade to 810

[01:14] <tsedreyt> hi guys, I have a few question about USB persistent install, can anyone help me?
[01:14] <jrib> tsedreyt: best to just ask the channel your question.  If someone knows the answer, they will try to answer you
[01:14] <SilentDis> OK, i got it.  the full command to get to the files is sudo mount -t udf -o ro,unhide,uid=1000 /dev/cd_drive /media/whatever :)
[01:14] <candive> Hi everyone, what is the command in terminal to update firefox?
[01:14] <Krzysztof> :o Matreya: Ik ben met het leren van Nederlands Rosetta Stone. :D
[01:14] <soho> thanks jrib
[01:14] <Russak> Falstius: what would be a legal value?
[01:14] <jrib> candive: sudo apt-get install firefox
[01:14] <apeiron> SilentDis, That's for the Windows side?
[01:15] <candive> jrib, Thank you
[01:15] <Russak> and also, I'm not running dual monitors. And it also worked fine in 8.04 as well.
[01:15] <Falstius> Russak: for an intel chipset, smaller than 2048 in each direction (2048x2048 total)
[01:15] <Raffle> can anyone tell me how to md5sum i dont get it
[01:15] <shadowwulf> what is the command line to get the newest nvidia drivers
[01:15] <tsedreyt> I am trying to run usb persistent, whenever I boot up I don't get any picture, I am pretty sure it has to do with Xorg (because I couldn't run puppy linux in xorg, I had to use xevesa), what can I do to fix it?
[01:15] <SilentDis> apeiron: yeah, apparently they throw it into hidden.  windows ignores it and just reads it anyway, whereas mac (and linux) respect the flag lol
[01:15] <candive> Chow
[01:15] <Falstius> Russak: I was just offering it as a possibility.  I only run ubuntu on my desktops.
[01:15] <christophe> raffle: just type md5sum <name file> and you cat the md5sum
[01:15] <apeiron> SilentDis, heh
[01:16] <Russak> ahh....okay. thanks.

[01:21] <shadowwulf> jrib i come to a logon window that is white ... no text ... then when i login .. the desktop becomes black and a cursor appears ... and thats it
[01:21] <jrib> shadowwulf: did it ever work?
[01:21] <shadowwulf> 8.04 it did
[01:21] <Thetetsu> what time is it?
[01:21] <Jordan_U> storrgie: Network manager 0.7 should support multiple devices being active at once, Is the gigabit connection static or is one host providing DHCP ?
[01:21] <SilentDis> apeiron: he plays wow, and does the basic e-mail, websurfing work.  little bit of photoshop.  photoshop is glorious under wine.
[01:21] <shadowwulf> jrib, 8.04 it did
[01:21] <jrib> shadowwulf: pastebin /var/log/Xorg.0.log and /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[01:21] <apeiron> SilentDis, Or he could just use GIMP... <_<
[01:21] <mn> How can I figure out what type of RAM I have?
[01:22] <storrgie> Jordan_U: the gigabit is static, the wlan is dhcp. the gigabit is crossover
[01:22] <apeiron> mn, free or top
[01:22] <SilentDis> apeiron: exactly.  but even if he insists, he can keep it, that's the kicker

[01:22] <mneptok> apeiron: they will not tell you the kind of memory

[01:26] <alex_> I-am-weasel: Try putting this in your conkyrc "own_window_hints undecorated,below,sticky,skip_taskbar,skip_pager"
[01:26] <storrgie> jordan_U: no I am not, because the wlan is set to auto
[01:27] <shadowwulf> jrib, working on getting file
[01:27] <I-am-weasel> alex, let me try, thanks for the hint :) I think I got a few of those in there
[01:27] <KillerOrca> anyone have experience moving an existing install to a larger harddrive?
[01:27] <Jordan_U> storrgie: Seems like a bug to me, have you filed a bug report?
[01:28] <jabagawee> hey, anyone wanna help me with xorg.conf? i want it to show my desktop in full 1080p glory
[01:28] <storrgie> Jordan_U: dont know how, I posted that post in ubuntu forums and I emailed the network manager mailing list
[01:28] <vahnx> anyone here notice 8.10 being quicker than 8.04?

[01:29] <cak054_> hello world
[01:29] <vahnx> hi
[01:29] <toastedmilk> I just downloaded libflashplayer.so alpha of flash 10 for 64bit.  what folder should I throw this in so it will work?
[01:29] <vahnx> i think in the mozilla directory for libflashplayer.so
[01:29] <vahnx> that is if your using a mozilla browser
[01:30] <jrib> toastedmilk: ~/.mozilla/plugins/   you probably want to remove your old one that you might have with nspluginwrapper
[01:30] <azfira> yetty
[01:30] <toastedmilk> jrib, I have.
[01:30] <toastedmilk> jrib, ty tho!
[01:30] <toastedmilk> vanhx, thank you too!
[01:30] <storrgie> Jordan_U: what should I even call this bug?
[01:30] <Jordan_U> storrgie: Like someone suggested in the forum one work around might to be to set up the main box's ethernet connection as "shared"
[01:30] <storrgie> Jordan_U: they each need to have internet
[01:31] <vahnx> prison break in 30 mins =D
[01:31] <storrgie> Jordan_U: they run independently quite a bit of the time
[01:31] <alex_> Hello. I'm currently on Intrepid Ibex and was wondering if anyone knew about an issue with Intel integrated graphics cards and resuming from Hibernation or Suspend. I can't resume from either, I get to a black screen(no backlight) and can't do a thing except hold down the power button. Ctrl+Alt+Backspace does nothing.

[01:32] <jordanv> is there a readyboost type of thing for ubuntu?
[01:32] <KillerOrca> anyone have experience moving an existing install to a larger harddrive?
[01:32] <mikg> hi all
[01:32] <vahnx> if you place your swap on flash drive possibly
[01:32] <Jordan_U> jordanv: Put a swap file on a thumb drive
[01:32] <vahnx> not a good idea apparently due to the constant writing
[01:32] <mikg> anyone have any experience w/ CONVIRT
[01:32] <Jordan_U> jordanv: I don't recommend it though because it will wear it out
[01:33] <vahnx> flash based drives tend to die about 10,000 writes per sector
[01:33] <jordanv> well, its a memory stick
[01:33] <mikg> anyone have any experience w/ CONVIRT?
[01:33] <jordanv> not a thumb drive
[01:33] <Jordan_U> jordanv: "ready boost" is mostly a gimick
[01:33] <vahnx> memory stick = thumb drive no?
[01:33] <Jordan_U> jordanv: It's NAND flash either way
[01:33] <strtok> hello - has anyone had an issue with vnc (via vncserver) to ubuntu, where the 'd' key causes the focused window to minimize/maximize?
[01:34] <lianimator> how do I configure my printer in intrepid?
[01:34] <vahnx> thats why ssd's arent the best. they tend to die out fairly quick
[01:34] <Jordan_U> storrgie: You might ask in #ubuntu-bugs for advice on how to word the bug report
[01:34] <jordanv> oh and Jordan_U nice name ;)

[01:38] <vahnx> ok i have system beep disabled and it still does it. i have friends that can attest to this on their machines too
[01:38] <vahnx> anyone know of a fix?
[01:38] <donpachi> vahnx: cut the speaker wire
[01:38] <vahnx> good idea
[01:38] <Dr_willis> vahnx,  try 'xset b 0 0 0 '
[01:38] <donpachi> that's what i did
[01:38] <gilster> has anyone been able to integrate UDF format for DVD-RAM into one of the GUI apps like k3b or braseror etc?
[01:39] <shadowwulf_> jrib, http://paste.ubuntu.com/73607/
[01:39]  * gguuest said its a minihowto install powerpc-ubuntu-ps3 there?
[01:39] <musikgoat> vahnx: what is the problem?
[01:39] <vahnx> xset b 0 0 0 solved it
[01:39] <vahnx> will it perma solve it?
[01:40] <vahnx> musikgoat: i disabled system beep but it kept beeping when i'd do stuff like backspace in empty terminal
[01:40] <gilster> anyone here got experience with DVD-RAM discs? I want to integrate them into K3B. I know how to format them on the CLI but want another option?
[01:41] <merther> Is anyone familiar with xorg-edit?
[01:41] <Dr_willis> cant say that ive ever owned a dvd-ram disk. :)
[01:42]  * gguuest said its a minihowto install powerpc-ubuntu-ps3 there?
[01:42] <lbo_ken> hi i need help to coffigure my  user on vsftpd so he only have access to one folder not all the  pc
[01:42]  * gguuest said its a minihowto install powerpc-ubuntu-ps3 there?
[01:42]  * gguuest said its a minihowto install powerpc-ubuntu-ps3 there?
[01:42] <gilster> most people have not owned dvd-ram discs
[01:42] <gilster> it blows
[01:42] <ezzieyguywuf> how do you untar into a seperate directory?
[01:43] <shadowwulf_> jrib,  did you get them ?
[01:43] <jrib> shadowwulf_: see what happens if you comment usefbdev
[01:43] <shadowwulf_> jrib,  in which ?
[01:43] <Myrtti> !give
[01:43] <Dr_willis> ezzieyguywuf,  one way would be to cd into the direvtory the tar xf /path/to/tararcjve
[01:43] <ohubuntu_> is it possible to build a certificate server with a linux OS?
[01:44] <jrib> shadowwulf_: xorg.conf
[01:44] <toastedmilk> I'm having a problem with Nautilis.  I can't drag-and-drop special access files because it says 'Permission Denied', but doesn't give me a password box.

[01:44] <Raffle> oops, sorry
[01:44] <Dr_willis> !info fuseiso | amikrop
[01:44] <rdw200169_> amikrop: mount -o loop
[01:44] <merther> What does screen depth refer to?
[01:44] <alex_> Hello. I'm currently on Intrepid Ibex and was wondering if anyone knew about an issue with Intel integrated graphics cards and resuming from Hibernation or Suspend. I can't resume from either, I get to a black screen(no backlight) and can't do a thing except hold down the power button. Ctrl+Alt+Backspace does nothing.
[01:44] <I-am-weasel> toastedmilk, yeah, it doesn't let you. that feature doesn't exist, sadly. you need to open TWO root nautilus windows :(
[01:44] <arktvrvs> I've been getting this "E: base-files: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 123" for weeks now it is starting to bother me.  what is the deal?
[01:44] <Eressolar> ezzieyguywuf: tar -xvf -C /home/meowmix/kittiens  Or whatever directory you want.
[01:44] <Raffle> was just an idiot controlling my computer
[01:44] <hakn> sex
[01:44] <rick_astley> why does gvim ignore my font rendering settings and is there a way to fix this?
[01:45] <LugorX> how do you turn off the gnome window urgency hint ?
[01:45] <rdw200169_> amikrop: you don't need anything special, just mount -o loop file.iso /dir/to/mount
[01:45] <ezzieyguywuf> so the -C lets me specify a diff. directory
[01:45] <Dr_willis> merther,  the  # of colors displayale basically I belive
[01:45] <toastedmilk> I-am-weasel, Ha! that's hilarious. Fingers crossed that's a work in progress.  Thanks though!
[01:45] <amikrop> rdw200169_, Dr_willis: OK, thanks :-)
[01:45] <Eressolar> ezzieyguywuf: Yeah, it tells tar to "change" to that directory. Works for creating tarballs too.
[01:45] <ezzieyguywuf> eressolar: thanks
[01:45] <Eressolar> np
[01:45] <I-am-weasel> toastedmilk, hope so
[01:45] <lianimator> I have the same problem as http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6102469 but I can't follow the solution
[01:46] <rdw200169_> rick_astley: well, if i remember correctly, vim only accepts monospace fonts
[01:46] <gilster> Dr_willis: i have 5 of them. 5 maxell DVD-RAMS very slow but extremely useful for drag and drop to dvd
[01:46] <toastedmilk> I-am-weasel, how do I make a nautilis window a root one?
[01:46] <toastedmilk> I-am-weasel, that's what I can't seem to figure out.
[01:46] <merther> And I'm assuming that I've I've got only one screen I would then enter 1 for screen number in xorg-edit?
[01:46] <pw-toxic> hi, i really need to deactivate the "alt + mouse2" hotkey for openeing the window menu
[01:46] <merther> *if
[01:46] <pw-toxic> how can i do this?
[01:47] <lianimator> pw-toxic: either in compiz or gconf
[01:47] <rhsanborn> hmm...alright, I've reinstalled network-manager-gnome and network-manager but still nm-applet won't start
[01:47] <I-am-weasel> You can try right click the folder you want to open as root, see if it says "open as root". If NOT,  hit ALT+F2 on your keyboard, and enter:     gksudo nautilus --no-desktop                   you'll have to do this twice to open 2 windows
[01:47] <lianimator> pw-toxic: do you use compiz?
[01:47] <ezzieyguywuf> Eressolar: so the command would look as follows for a .bz2? tar xvjf -C [tar file] [new location[
[01:47] <pw-toxic> lianimator: compiz is big ;)
[01:47] <Dr_willis> gilster,  as far as i know Linux does not have any support for using a dvd disk as a big  "floppy drive" Like you often see done in Windows...
[01:47] <oly562> yawns
[01:47] <pw-toxic> lianimator: yes i got the compiz manager.. but there are very many options
[01:47] <shadowwulf> jrib,  same result ... blank screen
[01:47] <lianimator> pw-toxic: open ccsm
[01:47] <Dr_willis> gilster,  at least if it does.. its not commonly used.. :)
[01:47] <jrib> shadowwulf: what did you do to test?
[01:47] <gilster> Dr_willis: I have been able to do this
[01:48] <shadowwulf> booted and logged on
[01:48] <Dr_willis> gilster,  nifty.  You are the first person ive seen whos done it then.
[01:48] <shadowwulf> jrib, booted and logged on
[01:48] <gilster> Dr_willis: I can format the disc from cli inUDF format
[01:48] <gilster> then it does drag and drop quite efficientyl
[01:48] <jrib> shadowwulf: it only happens after you login?  GDM works fine?
[01:48] <lianimator> pw-toxic: use the advanced search
[01:48] <pw-toxic> lianimator: i have found the options
[01:48] <shadowwulf> GDM being the logon screen ?
[01:48] <pw-toxic> lianimator: big thx
[01:48] <zoot_> hello all
[01:48] <jrib> shadowwulf: yes
[01:49] <zoot_> anyone running ubuntu on the eee?
[01:49] <shadowwulf> jrib, no the logon screen is skewed ...
[01:49] <jrib> shadowwulf: skewed?
[01:49] <Eressolar> ezzieyguywuf: tar -xjvf file.tar.bz2 -C /path/to/extract/to
[01:49] <toastedmilk> I-am-weasel, 'gksudo nautilis --no-desktop' As is?
[01:49] <ezzieyguywuf> Eressolar: thanks
[01:49] <shadowwulf> jrib, greyish white and white for the logon name and password
[01:49] <pw-toxic> lianimator: damn now if i only click the left mous button, the context menu does open ;)
[01:49] <jrib> shadowwulf: what version of ubuntu is this?
[01:49] <shadowwulf> jrib, 8.10
[01:49] <zsquareplusc> zoot_: kinda
[01:49] <pw-toxic> lianimator: well i think i use a very strange hotkey for this sub menu so i wont open it ;)  little workaround but it will work
[01:49] <lbo_ken> hi i need help to configure my  user on vsftpd so he only have access to one folder not all the  pc i know vsftpd use the pc user  acount to have an access to ftp but i dont find any where wehre i can grand or denied any things on a  folder or anythings  can some one help me?
[01:49] <jrib> shadowwulf: you could try installing the nvidia drivers
[01:50] <lianimator> pw-toxic: use None.
[01:50] <shadowwulf> jrib, how do i do that ?
[01:50] <I-am-weasel> toastedmilk,  Just like that :)
[01:50] <arktvrvs> any idea what is wrong with my update manager it is complaining about base-files there are 19 important updates and non of them will install
[01:50] <pw-toxic> lianimator: i had none, but it didnt work
[01:50] <lianimator> pw-toxic: it reverted?
[01:50] <jrib> shadowwulf: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-177
[01:51] <I-am-weasel> toastedmilk,  apologies, for some reason you MUST do it from Terminal O_O Or it doesn't show up
[01:51] <pw-toxic> lianimator: i cant open any open in the compiz manager ;(
[01:51] <pw-toxic> left mouse click doesnt help.. wait
[01:51] <onats> help... need some tips, fast... i will be installing ubuntu on 10 identical machines... what's the fastest way i can do it?
[01:51] <zoot_> zsquare: any experience getting bluetooth and the webcam working on a eee 901?
[01:51] <onats> should i just install everything one by one?
[01:51] <shadowwulf> jrib, says i have the newest version
[01:51] <KillerOrca> anyone have experience moving an existing install to a larger harddrive?
[01:51] <almigi> 'ello
[01:51] <jordanv> arktvrvs: sudo apt-get update try again
[01:52] <I-am-weasel> toastedmilk,  and gksudo is being picky... so just run        gksudo nautilus      (it doesnt like --no-desktop for some reason
[01:52] <jrib> shadowwulf: enable it in your xorg.conf then
[01:52] <shadowwulf> jrib,  could be that it is using NV instead of nvidia ?
[01:52] <almigi> d
[01:52] <jrib> shadowwulf: not "could", it is
[01:52] <shadowwulf> jrib,  ok how
[01:52] <toastedmilk> I-am-weasel, haha yeah it wasn't working
[01:52] <arktvrvs> jordanv, no luck, same thing.
[01:53] <zsquareplusc> zoot_: do you have a question?
[01:53] <pw-toxic> lianimator: oh damn it looks like my alt key is locked now...  i cant left click anymore becuase he thinks im doing a alt + left mous
[01:53] <pw-toxic> lianimator: i'll try somethign.. brb
[01:53] <toastedmilk> I-am-weasel, mv libflashplayer.so /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins

[01:53] <toastedmilk>  :'(
[01:53] <rick_astley> i wonder why does gvim ignore my font rendering settings (subpixel antialiasing, hinting, etc) and is there a way to fix this?
[01:53] <shadowwulf> jrib,  what do i type to replace the NV with nvidia
[01:53] <jrib> shadowwulf: pastebin your current one and I'll edit it for you
[01:54] <toastedmilk> I-am-weasel, oh, sudo
[01:54] <shadowwulf> jrib, xorg.conf ?
[01:54] <zoot_> Yes, I'm helping a guy with an eee 901 get his bluetooth and webcam working
[01:54] <jrib> toastedmilk: why are you doing that?  Use the directory I told you.  No need for sudo
[01:54] <I-am-weasel> toastedmilk,  grrr i see you got sound issues with firefox :P
[01:54] <toastedmilk> jrib, what?
[01:54] <jrib> shadowwulf: yes
[01:54] <zoot_> any way to check if hardware is configured correctly?
[01:54] <lianimator> How can I configure my printer?
[01:54] <IndyGunFreak> zoot_: i think the webcams have been a problem on those.. have you tried eee-ubuntu?
[01:54] <jrib> toastedmilk: use ~/.mozilla/plugins/ for your libflashplayer.so.  No need for sudo there
[01:54] <zoot_> running ubuntu-eee, yes
[01:55] <remote> hi

[01:55] <IndyGunFreak> zoot_: well, is the webcam on in the bios?
[01:55] <remote> i want to make a dvd out of an avi file, is there an easy way to do that?
[01:55] <zoot_> he's taking it to Africa in less than a week
[01:55] <digdug> I'm using k9copy to encode a video, but it doesn't seem to be writing it
[01:55] <zoot_> working for UNICEF
[01:55] <Dr_willis> remote,  DeVeDe can do that
[01:55] <rick_astley> i have to poop a little
[01:55] <LF|Irssi> ewww
[01:55] <remote> thanks
[01:56] <freetown> zoot_, is there a repo for ubuntu-eee?
[01:56] <digdug> is DeVeDe any better than k9copy? will it do mpeg4 for an ipod?
[01:56] <zoot_> Indy: I think it is, but that was my first suggestion for him.  Do you know what it would be called in the eee BIOS or what tab it would be under?
[01:56] <zoot_> he's a little skittish about tinkering with his BIOS
[01:56] <damijit> I want to get rid of my windows partition, and make everything ubuntu. I have just one fear: Will ubuntu music players be able to 1. Play DRM-locked music (such as music bought from iTunes store) and 2. Sync with my iPod?
[01:56] <toastedmilk> jrib, thanks for the tip!
[01:56] <krishna> how do i register my nickname
[01:57] <serpico> кто нибудь по русски разговаривает?
[01:57] <crimsun> damijit: 1) not by default, no.  2) yes, given the music is DRM-stripped prior.
[01:57] <KillerOrca> damijit why don't you just remove the DRM?
[01:57] <zoot_> @free- that's a good question
[01:57] <I-am-weasel> !ru | serpico   .... I think it's russian anyway :P
[01:57] <damijit> how would I go about removing DRM? And will I still be able to use apple's interface for my iPod (on my iPod, not my computer)?
[01:58] <Great_Gatsby> ever since i updated to hardy firefox is taking incredibly long to load
[01:58] <shadowwulf_> jrib, http://paste.ubuntu.com/73612/
[01:58] <pw-toxic> lianimator: i think i have t reset compiz....
[01:58] <KillerOrca> damijit since you're not changing anything on the iPod it will stay the same
[01:58] <pw-toxic> lianimator: i cant do anyhting anymore because wheni use left click on a window, he wants to drag the window isntead of clicking onto it
[01:59] <pw-toxic> lianimator: how can i reset this?
[01:59] <pw-toxic> lianimator: ah if i click altGr i can click somewhere in the window
[01:59] <luigi> !it
[02:00] <lianimator> pw-toxic: how did you configure the key?
[02:00] <jrib> shadowwulf_: http://paste.ubuntu.com/73615/
[02:00] <lianimator> pw-toxic: you should revert. use the keyboard to config it
[02:00] <EJ> ok silly question here, i just installed vnc server on 8.10 Desktop ... where is the start up file located and or how do i start it ?
[02:00] <jlc> EJ: vncserver :10
[02:01] <KillerOrca> damijit Requiem is what I hear is popular to remove the DRM without burning CDs
[02:01] <chaqui1> how can I start a game in a particular resolution?
[02:01] <lianimator> pw-toxic: use the keyboard keys, up down, tab, etc. to reset the keys to default
[02:01] <jlc> vnc4server or tightvncserver
[02:01] <jlc> depends on what is there I guess
[02:01] <TopBunny88> Ubuntu rocks
[02:01] <pw-toxic> lianimator: i just used "deactivated" for "window menu"  in : compiz Manager -> general options -> general -> window menu
[02:01] <pw-toxic> lianimator: thats the only thing i have changed... it it still doesnt work
[02:01] <passive> Any one have successful BearShare v7 installation ?
[02:02] <pw-toxic> lianimator: it really looks like my ALT key is bugge, because aund alt + mouse1 i have the drag
[02:02] <pw-toxic> lianimator: if i press altGr + mouse1 now, it works like i would press mouse1 only normally
[02:02] <lianimator> pw-toxic: you can try disabling compiz first. metacity --replace
[02:03] <pw-toxic> lianimator: i think i have found a bug within compiz
[02:03] <pw-toxic> lianimator: if i change the option of "window menu" to "<Super>Button1" instead of "deactivated" everything works well
[02:03] <lianimator> pw-toxic: then reset the shortcuts.
[02:03] <zoot_> has anyone here used "eee-control"?  http://greg.geekmind.org/eee-control/
[02:04] <zoot_> looks like this might help getting all the hardware going
[02:04] <lianimator> pw-toxic: okay. you found a work-around

[02:07] <mroc> hi all.  can anyone point me to a resource that explains how to build something from a git repository?  a fork of keyjnote was created under the name "accentuate" but there don't appear to be any packages anywhere.  i'm somewhat new at building things from source code.
[02:07] <TVVCR6> How do I get to the task manager in linux?
[02:07] <krishna> u can chenge the gw by this: sudo route add gefault gw 192.168.x.x
[02:07] <TVVCR6> It's like the thing in windows
[02:07] <aeshan> i tried to change it via the GUI but no cigar
[02:07] <oly562> TVVCR6: ?
[02:07] <lianimator> TVVCR6: click the system monitor applet on your panel
[02:07] <aeshan> TVVCR6: gefault or default?
[02:07] <oly562> TVVCR6: you mean list processes?   ps -ax
[02:07] <TVVCR6> lianimator: Hyh?
[02:07] <TVVCR6> *huh?
[02:07] <pw-toxic> lianimator: lol my pc just totally froze :D  i couldnt use any key or any mouse to do anything ;) even the console (strg + alt + 1) didnt work ;)
[02:07] <oly562> or use Top
[02:07] <alang> Hello
[02:07] <TVVCR6> lianimator: Where is that?
[02:08] <lianimator> TVVCR6: type Alt+F2 then system-monitor
[02:08] <mroc> TVVCR6: it's the system monitor - you can add it to the panel or you can get it from System => Administration => System Monitor
[02:08] <shadowwulf> jrib ok i kind of see my desktop now... but the colors are still not right
[02:08] <philippelhu> new to ubuntu and trying to set my iiyama crt monitor. I cannot find the driver and the generic driver does not allow me to go higher than 800*600 pixels, which is too low. Any idea? (My card is Geforce2) thanks
[02:08] <TVVCR6> mroc: Thank you :)
[02:08] <shadowwulf> jrib,  but i can see the desktop in false colors
[02:09] <mroc> TVVCR6: welcome.
[02:09] <krishna> lianimator: thats what im confused
[02:09] <LF|Irssi> htop is better than system-monitor , it doesnt take up 40% CPU :P
[02:09] <TVVCR6> mroc: How exactly do I add it to the panel
[02:09] <jrib> shadowwulf: I don't know then.  Does it work okay in other OSs like windows?
 : does the command only work after restarting the PC?
[02:09] <lianimator> pw-toxic: kill compiz!
[02:09] <shadowwulf> jrib,  it does
[02:09] <woody86> does anyone know how to setup ekiga for my voip account?
[02:09] <TVVCR6> aeshan: Huh?
 sudo route add gefault gw 192.168.x.x
[02:09] <jrib> shadowwulf: it's not a resolution problem right?
[02:10] <binarymutant> in xchat, whats this red line going across mean?
[02:10] <TVVCR6> ...?
[02:10] <mroc> TVVCR6: right click on a blank part of the panel and there's an "Add to Panel" option.  in the window that pops up, one of the options in the list is the System Monitor.  choose to add that, and then you can move it around by right clicking on the new icon in the panel and choosing "Move"
[02:10] <shadowwulf> jrib, no it is not
[02:10] <jrib> shadowwulf: try asking the channel again.  I don't have any ideas
[02:10] <shadowwulf> jrib, the monitors can handle the resolution
[02:10] <TVVCR6> mroc: thanks
[02:10] <mroc> TVVCR6: no problem.
[02:10] <shadowwulf> jrib,  thanks for the help
[02:10] <TVVCR6> I'm a bit rusty. I haven't used any linux version in over 2 years :s
[02:10] <Dr_willis> binarydigit,  its like a history tag..  if you go to other windows.. it shows where you were at when you left..
[02:11] <binarymutant> Dr_willis, thats cool, but why only certain channels?
[02:11] <Dr_willis> binarymutant,  i see it in all channels...
[02:11] <shadowwulf> can somebody help me with 8.10 and nvidia drivers .. i see my desktop in false colors .. but no text ...
[02:11] <chaqui1> what's htop?
[02:12] <binarymutant> chaqui1, a better replacement for top
[02:12] <Great_Gatsby> i can hear my typing in my speakers
[02:12] <binarymutant> Great_Gatsby, you can probably turn that off in the bios
[02:12] <Great_Gatsby> it just started once i upgraded to hardy
[02:13] <binarymutant> Dr_willis, i'm not seeing it in this chan and in #debian on oftc.net, it's weirding me out :/
[02:13] <break_free> Great_Gatsby, you can hear your typing? Sounds like your mic is on or something
[02:13] <Great_Gatsby> i dont have a mic
[02:13] <Great_Gatsby> im on a laptop
[02:14] <Dr_willis> My Laptops hjave built in mics
[02:14] <binarymutant> Great_Gatsby, my laptop will make a sound for typing, you can turn it off in the bios
[02:14] <break_free> Great_Gatsby, are you sure? A lot of lappy's have built in mics
[02:14] <break_free> oh, weird
[02:14] <Great_Gatsby> every time i hit enter or space i here a blip
[02:14] <Great_Gatsby> this is an old laptop
[02:14] <Great_Gatsby> theres no mic
[02:14] <binarymutant> mine is too
[02:14] <Dr_willis> Great_Gatsby,  try the insert key.. You may be in insert/overwrite mode
[02:14] <break_free> yeah, you might be able to turn off system beeps in your bios
[02:15] <mroc> i'm looking to get a piece of software called "Accentuate" (a fork of the project that used to be called keyjnote).  it seems to only be available through git.  can anyone explain how to get/build this, or point me to something that does explain it?
[02:15] <binarymutant> mroc, sudo apt-get install build-essiential git-core
[02:15] <pw-toxic> lianimator: lol now this is getting really evil ;) if i press the hotkey <super> mouse1  my X11 freezes, so that i cant do any action anymore..  .. zooming with the mosue still works but not keyboard shortcut or mouse action
[02:15] <pw-toxic> lianimator: can you tell me how i can reset x-server manually by console?
[02:16] <pw-toxic> lianimator: (i just have rebootet and everything works again)
[02:16] <lianimator> pw-toxic: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[02:16] <mroc> binarymutant: ok...done.
[02:17] <pw-toxic> lianimator: what stands gdm for?
[02:17] <pw-toxic> ah gnome desktop manger
[02:17] <pw-toxic> ok i will remember this
[02:17] <binarymutant> mroc, git clone <whatever the url is>
[02:17] <binarymutant> mroc, do you have a website I can see to follow along? It'll be easier to help
[02:17] <lianimator> pw-toxic: everything works now? the way you want it?
[02:18] <mroc> binarymutant: http://repo.or.cz/w/accentuate.git
[02:18] <passive> BearShare alternative ?
[02:18] <lianimator> pw-toxic: did Ctrl+Alt+Backspace not restart X?
[02:18] <LF|Irssi> Frostwire
[02:18] <pw-toxic> lianimator: i have done a work around: i have the hotkey "<TopRightEdge><Shift><Control><Alt><Super>Button3 for the hotkey    i think i will NEVER accidantly press this shortcut ;)
[02:18] <binarymutant> mroc, git clone http://www.gutenberg.org/wiki/Main_Page
[02:18] <lianimator> pw-toxic: lol!
[02:18] <pw-toxic> lianimator: i dont know this shortcut but i will try  wait
[02:18] <binarymutant> LOl nm
[02:18] <pw-toxic> lianimator: it works :D
[02:18] <chaqui1> I want 128 cores
[02:18] <binarymutant> mroc *, git clone http://repo.or.cz/w/accentuate.git
[02:19] <pw-toxic> lianimator: strg alt backspace works too
[02:19] <pw-toxic> cool
[02:19] <lianimator> pw-toxic: it worked.. lol
[02:19] <pw-toxic> lianimator: now i have only one issue left: alt + mouse1 doesnt drag my window anymore...  do you know where this option can be found? :D
[02:19] <moonlite> I'm moving files  from my trash-can to my desktop. I have only one partition mounted on "/" (no special home-partition or anything). Why isn't it instantaneous? It is moving the files at 4.6 MB/s now and that just feels weird Anyone?
[02:20] <lianimator> pw-toxic: if you can still type, Alt+F2 then run "metacity --replace" will use metacity instead of compiz
[02:20] <binarymutant> meh my fetch failed mroc
[02:20] <mroc> binarymutant: as did mine
[02:20] <lianimator> pw-toxic: in compiz also
[02:20] <pw-toxic> lianimator: yeah but i have spent hours in compiz manager :D its very big
[02:20] <lianimator> pw-toxic: if you want to use gconf-editor, it's still okay
[02:20] <pw-toxic> lianimator: well compiz is the thing why i have installed ubuntu :D
[02:20] <moonlite> also, i couldn't move all of the files since the trashed folder contains 10 GB of files and my disk only has 2.6 gigs left
[02:20] <lianimator> pw-toxic: use the advanced search. very useful!
[02:21] <moonlite> or at least that's what i was told. Really weird.
[02:21] <mroc> binarymutant: any suggestions on what to do from here, or is there nothing to be done at this point?
[02:22] <binarymutant> mroc, gimmie a sec i
[02:22] <pw-toxic> lianimator: i dont know what i should look for ;)
[02:22] <lianimator> pw-toxic: there is a plugin called move window
[02:22] <moonlite> (now i moved 1,5 GB of the files from trash to the desktop folder and the size of the disk didn't change. And i don't ave a .Trash-folder either in my home-dir. I really dont understand this :D)
[02:23] <pw-toxic> lol!!!!!!!!
[02:23] <binarymutant> mroc, git clone http://repo.or.cz/r/accentuate.git
[02:23] <pw-toxic> lianimator: my initate window move now got the hotkey <Shift><Controls><Alt><Super>Button1
[02:23] <lianimator> moonlite: trash is still stored on your disk.
[02:23] <pw-toxic> lianimator: there really seems to be a strange bug ;)
[02:23] <moonlite> lianimator: yes of course it is
[02:24] <pw-toxic> lianimator: window menu and initate windoe move are coupled ;)
[02:24] <lianimator> pw-toxic: that's a looooong "short" cut
[02:24] <moonlite> but the trash should be stored on the same partition right? making the move instantaneous?
[02:24] <binarymutant> mroc, it's just a single python script
[02:24] <lianimator> pw-toxic: should call it longcut
[02:24] <pw-toxic> lianimator: yes its a long shortcut, but i havend entered it
[02:24] <pw-toxic> lets see what happens if i redefine this hotkey ;)
[02:24] <pw-toxic> i'll remember strg alt backspace ;)
[02:25] <pw-toxic> lianimator: now alt + mouse2 opens the window menu ;)))))))))))))
[02:25] <pw-toxic> lianimator: i have just found a bug ;) do you know where i can commit compiz bugs?
[02:25] <mroc> binarymutant: ok, so...is there no compilation?  do i just make it executable and run it?
[02:25] <Dex-Freudii> I was told to Bootup normally and hit e to drop into the terminal, then add profile to the end of my kernel's startup line. How do I add that?
[02:26] <moonlite> lianimator: and the thing about me not being able to move stuff from thrash whos sum size is bigger than what my partition is also feels strange (since when i move files with size less than that my free disk space don't change)
[02:26] <lianimator> pw-toxic: are you aware of the button numbers?
[02:26] <binarymutant> mroc, it's already executable so just ./accentuate    but it needs python-opengl python-pygame and python-imaging to work, so you'll have to apt-get those dependencies too
[02:26] <tsunami> best bittorrent client for ubuntu??
[02:26] <moonlite> gvfs bug perhaps?
[02:26] <binarymutant> tsunami, rtorrent
[02:26] <lianimator> pw-toxic: button2 is the middle CLICK
[02:27] <pw-toxic> lianimator: ok then its button3
[02:27] <pw-toxic> lianimator: but thats not the problem
[02:27] <moonlite> tsunami: transmissions seems really good
[02:27] <tsunami> binarymutant: does it have a web interface?
[02:27] <binarymutant> tsunami, uh...idk
[02:27] <tsunami> moonlite: i don't really like transmission coming from utorrent
[02:27] <lianimator> pw-toxic: try restarting compiz
[02:27] <lianimator> pw-toxic: Alt+F2 then compiz
[02:27] <pw-toxic> lianimator: the problem is that if i change the shortcut of "initaite window move" of the "move window" plug-in   the hotkey for the window menu does get changed
[02:27] <Dominik2> how can I convert a flash file to pure audio?
[02:27] <IndyGunFreak> tsunami: then just use utorrent, it works quite well w/ wine
[02:27] <pw-toxic> lianimator: i can only change both hotkeys at the same time ...
[02:27] <zzl> does anyone know the irc channel for University of Californias??
[02:28] <zzl> does anyone know the irc channel for University of Californias??
[02:28] <moonlite> tsunami: oh. I never thought of uTorrent as anything but a UI disaster. :)
[02:28] <jpatota> join #security
[02:28] <lianimator> pw-toxic: that IS pretty weird
[02:28] <tsunami> IndyGunFreak: how do you get it running on ubuntu?
[02:28] <binarymutant> tsunami, rtorrent does have a web interface
[02:28] <pw-toxic> lianimator: yes ;)
[02:28] <IndyGunFreak> tsunami: http://www.winehq.org
[02:28] <mroc> binarymutant: thanks so much for your help.  i'll grab the dependencies and see if it works.
[02:28] <nkei0> Hello!  Does anyone know how to solve the wifi killswitch problem?  I've tried changing the module.d option to turn the led on but it didn't work.  I'm trying to figure out how to work the acer hotkey thingie but i'm a newb and don't understand it all
[02:28] <lianimator> pw-toxic: what I'd do is stop compiz, config it, then run it.
[02:28] <zzl> does anyone know the irc channel for University of Californias??
[02:28] <tsunami> moonlite: yeah, it will be helpful to know that i have recently made the move to ubuntu
[02:28] <zzl> does anyone know the irc channel for University of Californias??
[02:28] <zzl> does anyone know the irc channel for University of Californias??
[02:28] <FloodBot1> zzl: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[02:29] <binarymutant> mroc, just so I know, what does it do?
[02:29] <pw-toxic> lianimator: well my compiz and emerald just broke :D    how can i restart compiz and emerald?
[02:29] <nsteinme> can someone please tell me how to add a VGA 1280x1024 setting to my display with xrandr? I have hardy and for some reason only 800x600 and 640x480 appear in my screen res gui
[02:29] <Dr_willis> zzl,  i would say google may be a good starting point.. it may not neve exist on this server
[02:29] <lianimator> pw-toxic: run "metacity"
[02:29] <brodymcd> Can someone please help? I´m running Ubuntu Studio 8.10... and it allowed me to turn on the Broadcom driver for my wireless. Wireless light is ON, but wlan0 doesn´t show up in network manager... any thoughts, please?
[02:29] <lianimator> pw-toxic: actually "metacity --replace"
[02:30] <lianimator> moonlite: how can trash be bigger than "/"?
[02:30] <break_free> broadcom, how I hate tehe
[02:30] <break_free> thee
[02:30] <nkei0> brodymcd: open up terminal and put in iwconfig and let me know what the wireless comes up with
[02:30] <moonlite> lianimator: well it really isn't.
[02:30] <moonlite> as in
[02:30] <chaqui1> I can't make oolite work
[02:30] <moonlite> all the files must be on the same partition (since when i move from trash to wherever my free disk space doesn't change)
[02:31] <mroc> binarymutant: it's an open-gl based presentation software for doing presentations (.pdf and some other formats too i believe).  it's predecessor was very cool, and is available in the repos, but it hasn't been worked on for a while.
[02:31] <pw-toxic> lianimator: well, strg + alt + backspace did its work
[02:31] <chaqui1> I had it working before, but when I switched resolutions it went blank and I haven't been able to get it to start again
[02:32] <brodymcd> oddly enough, Ubuntu 8.10 live cd had wireless right out of the box cranking, but UStudio throwing me this curve... shouldn´t they be the same?
[02:32] <moonlite> so the error message i get seems totally bogus. while nautilus at the same time tells me i can't move files bigger than free disk space out of it becaus it, for some reason, thinks my trash is on another partition. That probably is the proble
[02:32] <moonlite> very strange though
[02:32] <binarymutant> mroc, sounds cool with the opengl, I wonder if it looks like a slide show with compiz effects
[02:32] <nsteinme> ﻿can someone please tell me how to add a VGA 1280x1024 setting to my display with xrandr? I have hardy and for some reason only 800x600 and 640x480 appear in my screen res gui
[02:33] <mrpockets> What does the  >rm -rf /   command do?
[02:34] <motosir__> try it
[02:34] <mrpockets> no
[02:34] <mrpockets> i mean
[02:34] <mrpockets> its remove
[02:34] <motosir__> sudo in front of it though
[02:34] <mrpockets> idk what the -rf options are
[02:34] <mrpockets> and the entire root directory
[02:34] <mrpockets> ?
[02:34] <FloodBot1> mrpockets: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[02:34] <binarymutant> recursive and force
[02:34] <mrpockets> ah
[02:34] <mrpockets> so delete the entire file system?
[02:34] <binarymutant> so recursivly remove everything ya
[02:34] <mroc> binarymutant: it's recently forked from the old project keyjnote (available in the repositories).  so it should be very similar.  transitions are very nice, very smooth.  definitely much more impressive than running a presentation through openoffice or the presentation mode of a pdf reader.
[02:34] <razboinik> anyway of getting radeonhd with dri support?
[02:35] <pw-toxic> lianimator: well i think i have to leave the drag window hotkey out ;(  ill use keyboard hotkey isntead (strg + space) to initiate drag window
[02:35] <binarymutant> mroc, thanks for the info, I think i'm going to try it out :)
[02:35] <mon^rch> question: what is the name of the server? irc.freenode.net?
[02:35] <binarymutant> mon^rch, ya
[02:35] <mon^rch> ty
[02:36] <mroc> binarymutant: thanks for the help with my question.  worth downloading the script.  i just tried it out, seems to be almost identical, but at least it's actively worked on now.
[02:37] <binarymutant> mroc, I might try and package it if it's not in the repos already
[02:37] <lianimator> pw-toxic: try running gconf-editor
[02:37] <lianimator> pw-toxic: go to apps/metacity/desktop
[02:37] <binarymutant> mroc, LIRC support = very cool
[02:37] <pw-toxic> lianimator: well im happy with the current solution ;)
[02:38] <brodymcd> anyone else please help with Broadcom wireless issue? wlan0 not showing up in network manager despite wireless light ON and Broadcom driver installed
[02:38] <alex_> i have a new ubuntu install, 8.10 x64, and every music program I've used has stopped playing a stream after a short time
[02:38] <alex_> I'm guessing it gets to the end of the buffer then stops
[02:38] <Geforce88> what package does 8.04 use to show shockwave swf games and such ?
[02:39] <Geforce88> !shockwave
[02:39] <Dr_willis> alex_,  got an example player you are using and a stream url? i will try here
[02:39] <pw-toxic> lianimator: i'm playing world of warcraft now ;)
[02:39] <alex_> this is the stream:
[02:39] <alex_> http://deepmix.ru/deepmix128.pls
[02:39] <pw-toxic> does anybody know if ubuntu works fine with windows ans mac os X on a macbook ?
[02:40] <goldmetal> i just installed bootchart, how can i open it?
[02:40] <c0re_> hello. i just installed kde.. but i cant run it :(...
[02:40] <mroc> binarymutant: yes...very.  i won't have a chance to try that out anytime soon, but that's one of the newer developments i think.  i'd love to see a maintained package if you get a chance.  i think it'd benefit a lot of others.  not sure that you can mention it being forked from the older project (the name keyjnote got some legal trouble from apple)
[02:40] <binarymutant> mroc, it needs to be able to recursively go through folders with images though...thats kinda lame
[02:40] <alex_> I've used BMPx, banshee, gnome mplayer and rhythmbox
[02:41] <luis_lopez> Has somebody experimented crashes with the new 64-bit flash plugin running on Intrepid when accessing sites like CNN or Discovery Channel?
[02:41] <break_free> exaile is a really good mp3 player/manager
[02:41] <c0re_> i changed season. still gnome is loaded... .anyone can help me?
[02:41] <break_free> exaile is basically a gnome clone of Amarok
[02:41] <musikgoat> break_free: how is it?
[02:41] <mroc> binarymutant: that is lame, but it works really well for giving presentations in .pdf format (which is what my final version of presentations end up being anyway).  sorry if this is getting off-topic for the channel.
[02:41] <break_free> musikgoat, i really enjoy it
[02:41] <error404notfound> how can I completely remove gnome? I tried apt-get autoremove ubuntu-desktop gnome gnome-core, but there are still atleast 90 appliation gnome-* which are installed...
[02:42] <break_free> musikgoat, haven't had any problems, has good last.fm and shoutcast integration
[02:42] <Dr_willis> alex_,  how long do they normally play till they crash>
[02:42] <musikgoat> !purekde | error404notfound
[02:42] <bazhang> error404notfound, you want only kde?
[02:42] <binarymutant> mroc, oh ya forgot about the topic, well thanks for introducing me to this app I like it
[02:43] <error404notfound> bazhang: I want only commandline... converting a desktop install to serv er
[02:43] <alex_> dr_willis: they don't crash, the music just stops. I haven't actually timed it but I'd say a couple of minutes
[02:43] <Dr_willis> error404notfound,  you could just not start the kdm/gdm service...
[02:43] <TVVCR6> I can't boot into windows
[02:43] <c0re_> error404notfound, then you should get ubuntu server
[02:43] <TVVCR6> I think it's because I never set mount points
[02:43] <error404notfound> Dr_willis: yes, that's what I did 2 hours ago, but they are still consuming space....
[02:44] <Dr_willis> alex_,  going on 2 min here... jamming to the techno-tunes... :)
[02:44] <TVVCR6> nvm it automatically did
[02:44] <mroc> binarymutant: no problem.  i appreciate the help.  i'll keep an eye out for a package in the future in case you feel super motivated. :)
[02:44] <error404notfound> c0re_: no, coz it doesn't detect my usb dsl router, while desktop install does
[02:44] <Dr_willis> error404notfound,   fire up the package manger and start removing stuff I guess...
[02:44] <binarymutant> :D
[02:45] <tsunami> what is the unzip command?
[02:45] <c0re_> Dr_willis, hey can you help me to install kde on ubuntu intrepid.
[02:45] <alex_> luis_lopez: I'm using the 64bit plugin. CNN videos working fine for me. I've noticed in youtube sometimes I need to refresh the page when the video doesn't load properly (the audio plays but the video is a grey rectangle).
[02:45] <error404notfound> Dr_willis: excuse me.... I am not into any UI, and using aptitude's ui would be headache, autoremove should have removed them, shouldn't it?
[02:45] <jamesish> tsunami: unzip
[02:45] <tsunami> owned... :/
[02:45] <Dr_willis> error404notfound,  most likely not.. depoedns on how they got installed.
[02:45] <error404notfound> Dr_willis: did a fresh intrepid installl
[02:45] <tsunami> command to unpack a tar file?
[02:46] <jamesish> tsubani: tar -xf filename
[02:46] <Dr_willis> error404notfound,  and what exactly did you do to try to remove them?
[02:46] <jamesish> tsunami: for it all in one step, tar -xzf filename
[02:46] <alex_> dr_willis: cool, I'm glad you like the stream. i've been listening to this station for a long time on my windows machine so I know it's pretty reliable. There must be something in ubuntu that's causing it. Have you ever played with gstreamer?
[02:46] <lianimator> on my Printer (Canon LBP2900 - detected automatically): Print Test Page gives the error: CUPS server error. There was an error during the CUPS operation: 'client-error-document-format-not-supported'.
[02:46] <binarymutant> jamesish, thats not true
[02:46] <jamesish> the z option is unzipping. Also ungzipping. For unbzipping, you use tar -xjf.
[02:46] <Dr_willis> alex_,  going on 5 min.. Using gmplayer.
[02:46] <jamesish> binarymutant: yes it is.
[02:46] <error404notfound> Dr_willis: as said before apt-get autoremove ubuntu-desktop which is also the way recommend on the link bazhang gave
[02:47] <binarymutant> jamesish, well now it is :/ but a .tar is just -xf
[02:47] <jamesish> binarymutant: that's what I said. Thanks for verifying.
[02:47] <jamesish> (07:46:11 PM) jamesish: tsubani: tar -xf filename
[02:47] <Dr_willis> error404notfound,  from what i recall thats just a meta-package.. if it had been installed with appitude, then aptitude  remove  ubuntu-desktop  might of gotten rid of it.. but ive never really tried.. Just heard of others trying to clean the stuff out, and failing
[02:48] <Dr_willis> error404notfound,  thats an issue  with using meta-packages I guess.
[02:48] <binarymutant> lol srry jamesish I thought it was someone else that posted the -xf first
[02:48] <QuiescentWonder> when i play quicktime videos in firefox sometimes i get the error: "The playback of this movie requires a Run-length encoding decoder plugin which is not installed." can someone help me fix this?
[02:48] <jamesish> binarymutant: np. It's good that you're keeping an eye out :)
[02:48] <alex_> dr_willis: I have no swap file, do you think that could cause it? (but I have 4gb of ram and I'm only using ~500meg)
[02:48] <error404notfound> Dr_willis: yes, it's a meta package, but the way to uninstall it is recommended on ubuntu community docs...
[02:49] <luigi> why i get "mount: the special device /dev/disk/by-uuid/fb9d5a70-a92d-428a-a44f-e80de77b1bb1 non exist"?
[02:49] <jamesish> luigi: the special device presumably doesn't exist.
[02:49] <Jeaton> ok, i installed ubuntu the other day and i still have windows on here
[02:49] <soho> gentoo ftw
[02:49] <Dr_willis> alex_,  Guess it could be.. but i doubt it.. you could create a swap file as a test
[02:49] <luigi> jamesish, i've already create this one!
[02:49] <Dr_willis> !info gentoo
[02:49] <Dr_willis> I like gentoo.. its a good file manager. ;P
[02:50] <alex_> dr_willis: any other ideas?
[02:50] <lazukars> Is there an AutoHotKey equivalent for Ubuntu?
[02:50] <riddlebox> why would my wireless connection drop on me, but it doesnt drop for anyone else?
[02:50] <minhoca_> #ubuntu-br
[02:50] <Dr_willis> alex_,  not really.. going on 9 min here..  the stream is getting a tad repettive...
[02:51] <luigi> jamesish, and i read the UUID with vol_id
[02:51] <riddlebox> why would my wireless connection drop on me, but it doesnt drop for anyone else?
[02:51] <Dr_willis> alex_,  sounds about like an arcade game soundtrack.. :)  without the explosions..
[02:51] <binarymutant> riddlebox, whats the driver?
[02:51] <QuiescentWonder> riddlebox: do you get dropped from other places as well, or just at home?
[02:51] <alex_> dr_willis: ok, so we can confirm the drop-outs aren't caused by the stream :)
[02:51] <riddlebox> QuiescentWonder, everywhere
[02:52] <jamesish> luigi: there's some questions here. First, how did you make the special device?
[02:52] <jamesish> luigi: second, how did you set permissions on it?
[02:52] <riddlebox> binarymutant, it is a eeepc with the madwifi drivers
[02:52] <jamesish> luigi: third, *why* did you make it? These things typically pop into existence when needed
[02:52] <jamesish> luigi: and for good measure, what're you trying to do? ;)
[02:52] <TVVCR6> What's that bash command called that shows information about your drives?
[02:53] <TVVCR6> Like sda, sdb, sdc, etc.
[02:53] <binarymutant> riddlebox, what's the kernel version?
[02:54] <PlaHPoy> anyone know why a dual quad core server would only show (cat /proc/cpuinfo) 2 cpus with 1 core each?
[02:54] <colton> u
[02:55] <luigi> jamesish,  ok... i'm going to set my new HD with fstab.. i cut it in two part with gparted. so i have /dev/sdb1 and sdb2. after i've read the vol_id in ordet to put the uuid in fstab. at the moment sdb1 work, but sbd2 no.
[02:55] <binarymutant> riddlebox, an upgrade might help but idk
[02:56] <woody86> Anyone know how to speed up boot-times with OpenBIOS or initng?
[02:56] <luigi> jamesish, this is the sdb2 in fstab: UUID=fb9d5a70-a92d-428a-a44f-e80de77b1bb1 /media/sdb2  ext3  defaults  0  0
[02:56] <Jeaton> ok, i installed ubuntu and allowed it to create my dual boot
[02:56] <Jeaton> anyway, windows xp is under the options, but it wont boot to it
[02:57] <Jeaton> i know it still exist, as im able to mount it in ubuntu
[02:58] <Flannel> Jeaton: What happens when you try and boot to it?
[02:58] <mroc> binarymutant: it occurred to me that you may find this useful if you plan to use either keyjnote or the fork, accentuate.  This link is a pdf that explains some of the features and keyboard shortcuts.  i didn't see any documentation on the accentuate page. http://demo.openprocess.jp/Sample%20PDF/demo.pdf    enjoy.
[02:58] <camokat> hello
[02:58] <Jeaton> it goes to a black screen and i see something blinking in the top left corner
[02:58] <colton> Hi, I want to access another harddrive on my computer ubuntu, how could I do this?
[02:58] <Jeaton> like two underscores
[02:59] <binarymutant> mroc, ty :)
[02:59] <Flannel> !enter | Jeaton
[02:59] <camokat> I installed Ubuntu on Lenovo S10. Everything works except wireless - Ubuntu doesn't even see the card. Any suggestions
[02:59] <Dominik2> where can i get a documentation of the play command?
[02:59] <camokat> ?
[02:59] <crimsun> Dominik2: man play
[02:59] <Dominik2> crimsun: man play? I don't understand what man means
[02:59] <Flannel> Jeaton: Alright, please pastebin your /boot/grub/menu.lst, and theoutput of `sudo fdisk -l`
[03:00] <shinjin> I want to write some script that will run once when I log in. How do I open a terminal and run it that one time?
[03:00] <mroc> colton: it should be as easy as going to Places => Computer   and then double clicking on the hard drive you'd like to mount (so that you can browse the files).
[03:00] <Flannel> Dominik2: type "man play" and you'll get the man (manual) page on the play command
[03:00] <QuiescentWonder> when i play quicktime videos in firefox sometimes i get the error: "The playback of this movie requires a Run-length encoding decoder plugin which is not installed." can someone help me fix this?
[03:00] <crimsun> Dominik2: if you prefer, see http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/intrepid/en/man1/play.html
[03:00] <PlaHPoy> im having an issue that i have 2 quad core intels in my server but cpuinfo only shows 1core per cpu
[03:00] <jamesish> luigi: why aren't you letting gnome take care of mounting it for you?>
[03:01] <jamesish> luigi: Ah, sorry. Reading further back. I see.
[03:01] <jamesish> luigi: Okay.
[03:01] <colton> Where could I find 'Places' in kubuntu?
[03:01] <luigi> jamesish, ok
[03:01] <luigi> jamesish, i'm going to try to re format this device..
[03:02] <mroc> colton: in the default installation, there are three menu options on the top left of the screen called applications, places, and system.
[03:02] <jamesish> luigi: why are you mounting by UUID? I'm lost there.
[03:02] <jamesish> luigi: I always mount by partition.
[03:02] <martin101> hello
[03:02] <camokat> anybody? S10 + Ubuntu?
[03:02] <luigi> i wont that at each logon ubuntu auto mount my device!
[03:02] <mib> hi
[03:02] <Dr_willis> I like to mount by Label. :)
[03:03] <luigi> jamesish,  i want that at each logon ubuntu auto mount my device!
[03:03] <jessid> Hello. I have a question. Why does ubunutu 8.10 does not turns off the cooler of my laptop once it has started, even If there is not any job that requieres a lot of CPU process???
[03:03] <millertime_018> hey how get startup to automatically mount a partition on startup?
[03:03] <Dr_willis> lugi then you must  somehow make a proper fstab entry for the device
[03:03] <mib> i try to connect my xhdd via usb
[03:03] <riddlebox> ok this is getting annoying
[03:03] <jessid> !cooler
[03:03] <riddlebox> this wireless problem never happened on 8.10
[03:03] <Dr_willis> millertime_018,  then you must  somehow make a proper fstab entry for the device
[03:03] <jessid> !cpu
[03:03] <jamesish> millertime_018: read the stuff that's coming for luigi. It's all about putting an entry in /etc/fstab
[03:03] <mib> i can see the New VOlume(S) but when i try access that drive, it shows me Unable to mount the selected volume
[03:03] <millertime_018> dr_willis: i was thinking about just adding it to preferences>sessions
[03:04] <millertime_018> dr_willis: won't that work? just add the correct command?
[03:04] <mib> mount:unknown filesystem type ntfs-3g error: could not execute pmount
[03:04] <mib> pls help!!
[03:04] <Dr_willis> millertime_018,  do whatever you want.. the proper way is to make a fstab entry.
[03:04] <Jeaton> Flannel: http://rafb.net/p/BoTwA686.html the fdisk -l output is on the top
[03:04] <millertime_018> ok...
[03:04] <Dr_willis> !fstab
[03:05] <millertime_018> dr_willis: then you are still telling louigi how to do it?
[03:05] <jtking> Tryng to setup gfxboot but when I do grub> find /boot/grub/stage1 I get error 15 file not found (but it is there) can someone help?
[03:05] <mib> anyone could help me with my assessing problem?
[03:05] <LugorX> how do I gnome window urgency hint???
[03:06] <jamesish> LugorX: You just the window.
[03:06] <Dr_willis> millertime_018,  not told him how to do much yet.  .. just what needs to be done..  fstab file is documented in several dozen  places/wikipages/guides/tips/tutorials... also it will depend on the filesystem used
[03:07] <millertime_018> dr_willis: mine is ntfs
[03:07] <Flannel> Jeaton: That all looks good.  Is it just a black screen with a cursor? or is there text before the cursor?
[03:08] <Dr_willis> millertime_018,  thats documented all over also.. but one easy way - is to install/run the 'ntfs-config' utility...
[03:08] <Dr_willis> !ntfs-3g
[03:08] <mib> so i need to install that?
[03:08] <Jeaton> i believe it's just a cursor, but i can check again
[03:09] <millertime_018> dr_willis: I already have that on there...
[03:09] <constantin_> can anyone help me with a newbie problem? I installed ubuntu side by side OS X and was using rEFIt to choose between the two installations. i accidentally deleted rEFIT and now I cant get back to my OS X partition
[03:09] <mib> because im just connecting my externahl hard disk via usb to my desktop
[03:09] <mib> on ubuntu but its doesnt work
[03:09] <millertime_018> dr_willis. When i opened it, it said "the following partitions were detected and can be configured:
[03:09] <jamesish> mib: did you even *try* to look this up?
[03:09] <millertime_018> and then it had my partition
[03:09] <tony_> why does 8.04 have inode value of 128 and 8.10 inode value of 256?
[03:09] <mib> yeah
[03:09] <mib> im on the page
[03:09] <tony_> !inode
[03:10] <jamesish> mib: what page?
[03:10] <millertime_018> dr_willis: but does that mean that if i check the box that it will mount it on startup?
[03:10] <Jeaton> ill check it out now, brb
[03:10] <mib> jameish: For NTFS partitons
[03:10] <techman224> Does anyone know how to change the download mirror in ubuntu server 8.10?
[03:10] <jtking> Tryng to setup gfxboot but when I do grub> find /boot/grub/stage1 I get error 15 file not found (but it is there) can someone help?
[03:11] <jamesish> mib: there's somewhere along the lines of several billion pages on the net; you got a link?>
[03:11] <Dr_willis> millertime_018,  yes.
[03:11] <nickrud> techman224, system->admin->software sources , the download tab. Choose other
[03:11] <mib> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions/ThirdPartyNTFS3G

[03:11] <Dr_willis> millertime_018,  try it and see..
[03:11] <millertime_018> Dr_willis: thanx! lol
[03:11] <Flannel> mib: What version of Ubuntu are you on?
[03:11] <millertime_018> dr_willis: and all this time!
[03:11] <techman224> nickrud, on a command line
[03:11] <Flannel> techman224: edit your sources.list
[03:11] <nickrud> techman224, edit /etc/apt/sources.list
[03:11] <Dr_willis> millertime_018,  i always  set mountpoints for mine.. in the installer. :)
[03:11] <techman224> where's that
[03:11] <jamesish> mib: and which of the instructions did you follow?
[03:12] <techman224> I see
[03:12] <mib> Flannel: im using 6.06
[03:12] <mib> i believe i have ntfs-3g which is why the error pops up
[03:12] <Flannel> mib: then yeah, you'll need a third party repo of ntfs-3g
[03:12] <millertime_018> dr_willis: installer?
[03:12] <millertime_018> dr_willis: what do you mean?
[03:12] <mib> but what did the mount:unknown filesystem type ntfs-3g means?
[03:13] <tony_> why does 8.04 have inode value of 128 and 8.10 inode value of 256?
[03:13] <mib> does it mean my x hdd is ntfs-3g type?
[03:13] <tony_> mib, hello sinner
[03:13] <nickrud> techman224, you intending to change your ubuntu repo, or add another repo?
[03:13] <Dr_willis> millertime_018,  when i install ubuntu.. you can set the mountpoint for your ntfs filesystems..
[03:13] <Flannel> mib: It means it doesn't know what it is.  You've specified a partition to be treated as ntfs-3g
[03:13] <Flannel> tony_: Please don't do that.
[03:13] <techman224> nickrud, change it
[03:13] <tony_> Flannel, ok
[03:13] <mib> so i need to install the ntfs-3g and its fine ?
[03:14] <Flannel> mib: Yes
[03:14] <nickrud> techman224, ok, if you were adding I was going to suggest adding a file to /etc/apt/sources.list.d , but just change the file I already gave you
[03:14] <Jeaton> Flannel: okay, it says "Starting Up..." then it sits on that cursor
[03:14] <millertime_018> dr_willis: ahhh i didn't know that
[03:16] <woody86> how can I make g-thumb my default picture viewer?
[03:17] <nsteinme> ﻿can someone please tell me how to add a VGA 1280x1024 setting to my display with xrandr? I have hardy and for some reason only 800x600 and 640x480 appear in my screen res gui
[03:18] <mib> thanks Flanel
[03:18] <mib> i have one more question.
[03:18] <mib> i get it access ..do you know what or how can i retrieve the full path to the x hdd?
[03:18] <Flannel> Jeaton: Alright, we'll try one thing, and if that doesn't work, its an issue with windows (and you'll need to run fixmbr from a windows recovery CD, then reinstall GRUB)
[03:18] <Peddy> Once installed, where are Linux kernels stored?
[03:18] <mib> i intend to write some files onto it ..is it under /media?
[03:19] <tsunami> would anyone mind walking me through an rtorrent install?
[03:19] <constantin_> can anyone help me with a newbie problem? I installed ubuntu side by side OS X and was using rEFIt to choose between the two installations. i accidentally deleted rEFIT and now I cant get back to my OS X partition
[03:19] <jamesish> tsunami: sudo apt-get install rtorrent
[03:19] <jamesish> tsunami: you're welcome for the walk through ;)
[03:19] <tsunami> jamesish: thanks ;)
[03:20] <Flannel> Peddy: /boot/
[03:20] <Peddy> tsunami: in a terminal ;)
[03:20] <Jeaton> alright, i'm ready any time
[03:20] <Peddy> thanks Flannel
[03:20] <nsteinme> ﻿can someone please tell me how to add a VGA 1280x1024 setting to my display with xrandr? I have hardy and for some reason only 800x600 and 640x480 appear in my screen res gui
[03:20] <mib> what is the exact path for these external volumne?
[03:20] <PlaHPoy> anyone have any idea why a server install on a dual quad core only show 1 core per cpu
[03:20] <tsunami> is there a gui in the repo?
[03:20] <R-C-M> hey, has anyone here tried ubuntu netbook remix out on the Samsung RC-10 yet? I now it's new and all, but what's the status with regards to hardware functionality for it?
[03:21] <mib> okie.got it.
[03:21] <mib> under media
[03:21] <Flannel> Jeaton: Open up your menu.lst (/boot/grub/menu.lst, you'll need to use sudo), and change the line near the bottom (under the windows thing) from "root" to "rootnoverify", I believe it's "root (hd0,0)"  You'll change that to "rootnoverify (hd0,0)"
[03:21] <Peddy> is there a command that says where the running kernel is stored?
[03:22] <tat-> PlaHPoy: sure its dual core? if so, maybe the dual core functionallity is disabled in bios?
[03:22] <PlaHPoy> its 2 quad core cpus
[03:22] <nsteinme> ﻿can someone please tell me how to add a VGA 1280x1024 setting to my display with xrandr? I have hardy and for some reason only 800x600 and 640x480 appear in my screen res gui
[03:22] <jamesish> Peddy: ls /boot , I guess.
[03:22] <EJ> has anyone had any luck in setting up an up-to-date repository for FreeNX ?
[03:22] <PlaHPoy> tat: its a dual quad core xeon server
[03:22] <PlaHPoy> cat /proc/cpuinfo only shows the cpus with 1 core
[03:23] <Peddy> jamesish: what if it isn't installed in /boot (if that's even possible), because I have a 7.10 (lol) kernel installed somewhere, and my computer randomly boots into it sometimes.
[03:23] <PlaHPoy> i posted boot log and info here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=985664
[03:23] <Prose> in Hardy Heron, auto login and toggling between languages with keyboard shortcut could not coexist. Has this changed in Ibex ?
[03:24] <Dreamglider> i have a dell inspiron 6000 that im trying to install ubuntu on, but after the install is done and i reboot, it seems that no bootloader is pressent, i tried fedora and it dorked fine. how would i solve this ?
[03:24] <jamesish> Peddy: I'm not gonna put too fine a point on this. If you think your system is randomly booting different kernels, you're in a world of pain. You can do stuff like fix /boot/grub/menu.lst, but something that fundamental pretty much screams to me that either someone's screwing with you or you hosed your own system.
[03:24] <compu73rg33k> How can i go about uninstalling or disabling the nswrapper for 32 bit flash and use the newly released adobe 64 bit version?

[03:24] <jamesish> Peddy; THe fact is, systems don't boot random kernels. They boot the one they're asked to.

[03:27] <EJ> anyone have any info on Ibex / FreeNX installaions ?
[03:27] <Peddy> jamesish: it happens more often when I have removable media in. I'm pretty sure it's loading another GRUB, not the one I have right now. It's a completely ridiculous problem; I changed my password when upgrading Ubuntu, and my OLD passwords work, but my new ones don't. :/
[03:27] <rainwalker> a samba update on the 12th somehow messed up my ability to print, but not to browse windows shares. any suggestions?
[03:27] <Flannel> oh, the rEFIt thing.  constantin_, have you tried reinstalling rEFIt?
[03:28] <EJ> !freenx
[03:28] <constantin_> i dont know how to
[03:28] <jamesish> Peddy: you're not loading another grub, then. I have an inkling what's happening, though.
[03:28] <constantin_> :(
[03:28] <constantin_> i knew how to do it in osx bc it was just a package
[03:29] <constantin_> but now i cant get to it and havent learned how to install it in ubuntu
[03:29] <jamesish> Peddy: it sounds like you've got an old installation of ubuntu somewhere on the same hard drive. When you're entering removable media, your computer is bringing your hard drives up in a different order. So when grub tries to find the boot loader, it's finding one on a different device than your normal default partition.
[03:29] <Baba_B00ie> running ubuntu 810 and having trouble connecting to winxp shares. i AM on the network though. any help please?

[03:29] <Flannel> constantin_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro  has a bunch of info on using refit, It likely has the answer to installing from linux as well.

[03:30] <wandana> Is there any file I can look into?
[03:31] <jamesish> wandana: probably it's config file. Find out where that is, and you're set.
[03:31] <ubuntu810noob> Has anyone been able to install Ubuntu 8.10 on a RAID5 system that uses the Intel ICH10R chip?
[03:31] <Peddy> jamesish: aha, thanks. I'll have a look through my partitions.
[03:31] <EJ> MTecknology: yeah i think i found out what my issue was ... i wasent adding the correct version to the repository
[03:31] <Jeaton> ok
[03:31] <jamesish> Peddy: I'm not sure what the solution is for you, is the thing. The problem isn't having two copies of ubuntu, it's that your devices are being renumbered when you leave a removable device in.
[03:32] <wandana> jamesish: Wow, that was quick. Indeed it is here: .config/xm1/texmaker.ini
[03:32] <EJ> MTecknology: yup that was it ... its installing now
[03:33] <wandana> jamesish: Thanks for letting me know!
[03:33] <MTecknology> EJ: congrats
[03:33] <jamesish> wandana: you're welcome
[03:33] <Peddy> jamesish: It's not 2 *full* copies, more like just the kernel. It can't even load properly, because glibc and the old version of gdm is missing. Do you know of a quick way to scan for multiple installs?
[03:33] <EJ> MTecknology: thank you ... been pulling my hair out for an hour trying to figure this out lol
[03:34] <MTecknology> EJ: idk if I did anything useful, but congrats on getting it
[03:34] <nsteinme> ﻿can someone please tell me how to add a VGA 1280x1024 setting to my display with xrandr? I have hardy and for some reason only 800x600 and 640x480 appear in my screen res gui
[03:34] <jamesish> Peddy: Probably the *fastest* way is to boot from knoppix.
[03:34] <Ububegin> is there a way to use the cat command to see a specific line in the txt file... like cat helloWorld.txt (but i only want to see the 10th line)
[03:34] <jamesish> Peddy: I think the ubuntu live CD can also automount volumes as it finds them,though.
[03:34] <EJ> MTecknology: :D its all good now :D
[03:35] <ubuntu810noob> Does anyone know why the install for Ubuntu 8.10 on a RAID5 system that uses ICH10R does not recognize the SATA drives?
[03:35] <Peddy> jamesish: So after I boot from the live CD, I look for /boot partitions?
[03:35] <jamesish> Ububegin: cat -n | grep 10 would do for a short file. Otherwise, read the man page for more options. Also look at grep, head and tail.
[03:36] <jamesish> Peddy: I'm not sure. You'll have to investigate. Sounds like a good start, but I don't think that's really the core issue. The real core issue is that your devices are being renumbered.
[03:36] <constantin_> when a command says create a textfile ~/.xmodmap
[03:36] <constantin_> the ~ is the username level or what level?
[03:36] <constantin_> where do i save it
[03:36] <Flannel> constantin_: ~ is your homedir
[03:36] <slinkeey> Hi
[03:36] <Flannel> constantin_: equivalent to /home/username/
[03:37] <constantin_> thanks
[03:37] <slinkeey> I have a thinkpad running ubuntu 8.04 like a champ...  I am trying to put it on a compaq that was given to me..
[03:37] <slinkeey> It installed fine but now that it is installed it just boots to a brown screen with a mouse arrow
[03:37] <Ububegin> jamesish: hi.. grep will search through the text ..not show the specific line...
[03:37] <slinkeey> any Ideas?
[03:38] <Peddy> jamesish: Grub reads the renumbered (false) partitions then, correct? So the renumbering is an OS-level issue?
[03:38] <jamesish> Ububegin: You know nothing of the majesty of grep.
[03:38] <ubuntu810noob> Does anyone know why the install for Ubuntu 8.10 on a RAID5 system that uses ICH10R does not recognize the SATA drives?
[03:38] <Flannel> Peddy: BIOS level
[03:39] <JasonF> What's the proper way to go from hardy --> intrepid without installing a gui?
[03:39] <JasonF> installing update-manager wants to install lots of gnome crap
[03:39] <denglei> maybe change the bios
[03:39] <denglei> setting
[03:39] <Flannel> !upgrade | JasonF
[03:39] <nickrud> JasonF, do-release-upgrade , a command line program
[03:39] <Peddy> Flannel: aren't partitions OS level?
[03:39] <Peddy> I'm not arguing, just asking :P
[03:40] <jamesish> Peddy: no, they're hardware level.
[03:40] <JasonF> no they aren't.
[03:40] <novus|> JasonF  apt-get dist-upgrade ?
[03:40] <JasonF> they are a totally OS thing
[03:40] <Flannel> Peddy: GRUB talks in numbers (hd0,1), etc.  That's all given to GRUB from the BIOS
[03:40] <JasonF> held in the first 512 bytes if a HDD
[03:40] <nsteinme> hello. does anyone know how to add a 1280x1024VGA  setting to my display using xrandr?
[03:40] <jamesish> So they're recorded in the hardware, JasonF?
[03:40] <nickrud> JasonF, those are os agnostic; but the os does have to understand them
[03:40] <musikgoat> JasonF: s/OS/hardware
[03:40] <the_dark_warrio> pressing Enter generally Toggle / Active current focused component on Ubuntu. How can I trigger the "Default Action", for example, pressing the "Yes", "Confirm", etc..?
[03:41] <the_dark_warrio> It is sometime really annoying when you lose the default action focus
[03:41] <JasonF> nickrud: where is that file?
[03:41] <Ububegin> jamesish: oh sorry... k, i will read up on grep again... thanks
[03:41] <jamesish> JasonF: I think they're one of those funny things: there's bits of both in there, obviously there has to be an interpretation, but there's also information contained in the hardware. They're not *burned into* the hardware or anything, but the information is recorded there.
[03:41] <JasonF> ubottu: those instructions require a gui installed
[03:41] <nickrud> JasonF, what file?
[03:41] <JasonF> nickrud: do-release-upgrade
[03:41] <Flannel> JasonF: no they don't
[03:42] <nickrud> JasonF, just run it
[03:42] <Peddy> Flannel: I meant renumbering, is the BIOS renumbering the *partitions*?
[03:42] <Flannel> JasonF: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IntrepidUpgrades#Network%20Upgrade%20for%20Ubuntu%20Servers%20(Recommended)
[03:42] <jamesish> Ububegin: You can chain two greps; one can be a grep with a regex to match every line and the -n flag which outputs line numbers, the second command then matches the line number.
[03:42] <JasonF> gah I'm blind
[03:42] <JasonF> thanks Flannel
[03:43] <ubuntu810noob> Does anyone know why the install for Ubuntu 8.10 on a RAID5 system that uses ICH10R does not recognize the SATA drives?
[03:43] <JasonF> Ububegin: you can also | tail -n# | head -n1
[03:43] <JasonF> er
[03:43] <JasonF> head -n# | tail -n1
[03:43] <JasonF> that'll give you line "#"
[03:44] <devdavad> could anyone here help me with installing the 64 bit flash player?
[03:44] <constantin_> when there is a menu of choices in terminal like ^X = exit
[03:44] <constantin_> do you just type ^X
[03:44] <constantin_> b/c thats not working for me
[03:44] <devdavad> I've got it in ~/.mozilla/plugins but flash is still not working
[03:45] <Peddy> devdavad: Intrepid should do it for you automatically, have you tried just clicking 'install required plugins' in FF?
[03:45] <Angah> hi...how t make my server use less memory?
[03:45] <Angah> hi...how to make my server use less memory?
[03:45] <jamesish> Angah: turn it off
[03:45]  * MikeHbuntu is curious, I went out and bought a RadeonHD 4850 last night, and I just upgraded to the newest fglrx drivers from amd's website... is there any way to enable VSYNC / sync-to-vblank?  i'm getting tearing in video, compiz, everything
[03:45] <Dr_willis> 'server' is vague.. what services is it providing..
[03:45] <Angah> turn it off?
[03:45] <Angah> r u kidding me?
[03:45] <jamesish> Angah: Yeah. Even the kernel won't be running in RAM then.
[03:46] <aryan_> which DVD copy software can copy dvd?
[03:46] <sjdurfey> i installed Banshee and the restricted codec set from the repos, and i cannot get anything to play, Banshee just gives me an orange box with an "x" in it on every song in my library, anyone have any ideas as to why?
[03:46] <n8tuser> Angah-> why such a question?
[03:46] <Angah> my server run as proxy server and of course as gateway to
[03:46] <MikeHbuntu> i have every checkbox enabled for vsync, in compiz, as well as the aticccle catalyst control center
[03:46] <MikeHbuntu> but its not working
[03:46] <constantin_> when menus in terminal say ^X to exit  (i'm editing sudo users) how do i input that...i type it but it just adds that to the config file
[03:46] <jamesish> Angah: What have you tried so far, what's motivating the question, what do you do with the server, all this is useful information.
[03:46] <Dr_willis> Angah - and  how muich memory does it have?
[03:46] <TimFreeman> I upgraded from 8.04 to 8.10 and the network manager does not appear in the bar at the top.  A fresh install of 8.10 on the same machine does display the network manager.  I do have an nm-applet process running.  Any suggestions about how to debug or fix this?
[03:47] <n8tuser> TimFreeman-> system->preferences->main menu  and add the network-admin
[03:47] <jordanv> constantin_: control x
[03:47] <sjdurfey> constantin_: http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/vimcheat.html
[03:48] <aryan_> any good software to copy DVD
[03:48] <constantin_> thanks
[03:48] <TimFreeman> n8tuser: Pkay, I'll give that a try.
[03:48] <sjdurfey> no problem
[03:48] <jamesish> aryan_: You're going to have to google that, I'm afraid.
[03:49] <bazhang> !info k9copy
[03:49] <Dr_willis> I use dd to copy my dvds :)
[03:49] <slinkeey> has anyone ever seen ubuntu just boot to a light brown screen with no cursor?
[03:49] <slinkeey> I mean with a moise pointer
[03:49] <aryan_> DVD is write protected
[03:49] <slinkeey> then the system locks up
[03:49] <greghere> how do I fix broken packages in 8.04
[03:49] <slinkeey> I can't even get to a terminal with ctl-alt-f2
[03:49] <shirish> hi all, does anybody know of a good resource for seeing the desktop installer screenshots of Ubuntu 8.10
[03:49] <Dr_willis> slinkeey,  thats a sign  that gnome failed to startup it sounds like..  if the mouse moves - its not locked up.
[03:49] <slinkeey> ok
[03:50] <slinkeey> hmm
[03:50] <heliedgar> hey
[03:50] <aryan_> Dr willis can we copy write protected dvd also through dd
[03:50] <slinkeey> How can I force it to a terminal?
[03:51] <cchapman> why cant k9copy find my dvd rom?
[03:51] <Peddy> If my system's partitions are getting renumbered, is this an OS-level or BIOS-level problem?
[03:51] <greghere> what commands do I use to uninstall broken packages?
[03:51] <slinkeey> should I maybe reinstall and not chose automatically log in?
[03:51] <Dr_willis> aryan_,  never noticed, or tried..   you dident state it was a movie dvd. :)  I use dd to copy my data disks, or my own personal made video disks..
[03:51] <slinkeey> then I will have a chance to get to failsafe?
[03:51] <Dr_willis> slinkeey,  or try making a new user and see if it affects them also..
[03:51] <aryan_> what block size do you use to copy
[03:51] <jamesish> slinkeey: press esc on the grub portion of the boot sequence. You'll be given an option to recover. Use that and either try the aut recovery mode, or go ahead and log into a root prompt.
[03:51] <n8tuser> Peddy-> what you mean renumbered? cite an example?
[03:51] <slinkeey> I can't even get to add a user
[03:52] <Dr_willis> slinkeey,  use the console.
[03:52] <tsunami> does rtorrent have dependancies?
[03:52] <slinkeey> It wont let me fire up a tty session
[03:52] <slinkeey> It wont let me into the console
[03:52] <infamous> hi ppl
[03:52] <Dr_willis> slinkeey,  even alt-ctrl-f1 dont work eh? that is a bad sign.
[03:52] <binarymutant> tsunami, sudo apt-get rtorrent will take care of any depends
[03:52] <slinkeey> ctl-alt-f1
[03:52] <slinkeey> yeo
[03:52] <Peddy> n8tuser: /dev/sda8 changes to /dev/sda9
[03:52] <slinkeey> not even that
[03:52] <Peddy> n8tuser: when removable devices are inserted
[03:52] <slinkeey> It is a fresh install so I didn't lose anything
[03:53] <n8tuser> Peddy-> i have not seen that before, i have seen /dev/sdc become /dev/sdd
[03:53] <Dr_willis> slinkeey,  could boot to the console and remove your users .gnome* setting directories and see if its a gnome setting issue.. cvould be a video driver issue
[03:53] <ToddEDM1> anyone here use DD-WRT?
[03:53] <slinkeey> ok how do I boot to console?
[03:53] <Tetracomm> Hello.
[03:54] <jamesish> an option to recover. Use that and either try the aut recovery mode, or go ahead and log into a root prompt.
[03:54] <jamesish> (08:51:48 PM) jamesish: slinkeey: press esc on the grub portion of the boot sequence. You'll be given an option to recover. Use that and either try the aut recovery mode, or go ahead and log into a root prompt.
[03:54] <Peddy> n8tuser: ok, i'll have a look later
[03:54] <Dr_willis> slinkeey,  thats the recovery/rescue whatever option ion the grub menus..
[03:54] <jamesish> slinkeey: it's not too bad once you start looking into it.
[03:54] <ubuntu810noob> I am trying to install 8.10 on a brand new PC. I'm using a Gigabyte mobo (GA-EG45M-DS2H) with 3 SATA drives in a RAID5 config, but during the install the drives are not recognized. Can anyone help me please?
[03:54] <Tetracomm> After I use make install to install a program, how do I register it so that I can remove it with apt-get remove?
[03:54] <digitspan> join #614
[03:54] <mroc> ToddEDM1: only a little.  not sure i can help at all.
[03:54] <jamesish> Tetracomm: You would have to make a deb out of it, I imagine.
[03:54] <Flannel> Tetracomm: You can't afterwards.  You need to do it beforehand.
[03:54] <Dr_willis> Tetracomm,  I dont think you do.. theres the 'checkinstall' program that helps ya do that..
[03:55] <Flannel> !checkinstall | Tetracomm
[03:55] <slinkeey> ok thanks
[03:55] <eliasp_> Tetracomm: no way, 'make install' doesn't work together with the package management... make install just puts the files 'randomly' on your disk...
[03:55] <Tetracomm> Oh. :(
[03:55] <slinkeey> I am thinking maybe I should uninstall compiz
[03:55] <slinkeey> maybe my video card does not like it
[03:56] <Dr_willis> slinkeey,  just disable it perhaps.
[03:56] <kemalist> good morning
[03:56] <eliasp_> Tetracomm: don't install packages using 'make install' unless you really know what you do... else you risk the consistency of your package management
[03:56] <slinkeey> ok I dropped to the root shell prompt
[03:56] <slinkeey> do I need to provide a username and password somehow?
[03:56] <nsteinme> hello. i have intel 82810 and hardy, and i am trying to add a 1280x1024 resolution setting. can anyone help?
[03:57] <Dr_willis> if you are root at the root shell.. you are root slinkeey .. be carefull
[03:57] <slinkeey> how can I disable compiz from the shell?
[03:57] <greenhog> has anyone had experience with ubuntu as a virtual machine under winxp host..
[03:57] <kemalist> i did greenhog
[03:57] <kemalist> using vmware
[03:57] <Dr_willis> greenhog,  ive ran it inside virtualbox.. ran fine
[03:57] <ubuntu810noob>  I am trying to install 8.10 on a brand new PC. I'm using a Gigabyte mobo (GA-EG45M-DS2H) with 3 SATA drives in a RAID5 config, but during the install the drives are not recognized. Can anyone help me please?
[03:58] <greenhog> yeah.. im using tht ... but i cant seem to setup ethernet in bridged configuration
[03:58] <kevin_> hi all, this is my first time here:)
[03:58] <Tetracomm> Ok.
[03:58] <Tetracomm> Thank you, eliasp_
[03:59] <greenhog> kemalist: how did u setup ethernet conf.. i want my virtual machine to be jus like any other physical machine on the network? when i try to used eth0, it says eth0 device cannot be found
[04:00] <kemalist> greenhog, i used bridged mode
[04:00] <kemalist> to reach the net by windows
[04:00] <slinkeey> I am removing compiz
[04:00] <kemalist> slinkeey, what's wrong with it
[04:00] <slinkeey> I think it is causing me to boot to a blank screen with just a mouse
[04:01] <slinkeey> I have a feeling it is compiz
[04:01] <woli> is there some way that some blur could be applied to the gnome-panels?
[04:01] <kemalist> i had some kernel panics
[04:01] <JonathanEllis> Hi, Can someone please tell me what the relatime option in fstab is for?
[04:01] <kemalist> while loading X, and i think it was
[04:01] <beckster> hey guys, quick question, why is there no CTRL + V  in terminal?
[04:01] <kemalist> compiz as well
[04:02] <slinkeey> really?
[04:02] <JonathanEllis> becskter: You need to press Ctrl-Shift-V
[04:02] <kemalist> beckster, cause CTRL + V it's an input for the terminal
[04:02] <greenhog> kemalist: me too... bridged mode. so in the interfaces configuration file it should still be eth0? or is it something else?
[04:02] <woli> beckster: i think there is shift+control+v
[04:02] <slinkeey> well I am rebooting it now so we will see
[04:02] <niten> beckster: SHIFT + INS is paste
[04:02] <kemalist> greenhog, check it
[04:02] <beckster> =] thanks!!
[04:02] <woli> beckster: you can change that in the profile optios
[04:02] <woli> options*
[04:02] <ubuntu810noob>  I am trying to install 8.10 on a brand new PC. I'm using a Gigabyte mobo (GA-EG45M-DS2H) with 3 SATA drives in a RAID5 config, but during the install the drives are not recognized. Can anyone help me please?
[04:02] <slinkeey> Removing COMPIZ Fixed it on a temp basis!! I guess I don't really need it!!
[04:02] <slinkeey> My gut instinct was right!!
[04:02] <nsteinme> ﻿hello. i have intel 82810 and hardy, and i am trying to add a 1280x1024 resolution setting. can anyone help?
[04:03] <apeiron> heh. Apparently compiz makes "the Linux desktop easier to use". Can someone explain how that happens, please?
[04:03] <JasonF> What's the difference between libapache2-mod-php5
[04:03] <JasonF> and libapache2-mod-php5filter
[04:03] <kemalist> apeiron, it simply doesn't, to me it is still gross
[04:03] <apeiron> All I can see is that it adds some shadows and fadein/out affects.
[04:03] <musikgoat> !info libapache2-mod-php5filter
[04:03] <cchapman> ubuntu810noob: your raid 5 controller drivers is not in the kernel?
[04:03] <slinkeey> Thanks for the Help!!
[04:04] <apeiron> !info vrms
[04:04] <greenhog> kemalist: i have checked.. when i do /etc/init.d/networking restart ... it says no such device as eth0
[04:04] <jamesish> apeiron: this cannot be explained, only seen. You too will enter the wondrous world of talking wank once your windows wobble.
[04:04] <kemalist> greenhog, it must have another name then
[04:04] <ubuntu810noob> cchapman: Unfortunately the controller does not seem to be in the kernel
[04:04] <musikgoat> JasonF: the php5 package is essential for php support in apache2, not sure about the *filter one
[04:04] <JasonF> musikgoat: I know :) that's the same place I am
[04:04] <cchapman> ubuntu810noob: what raid controller are you using
[04:04] <apeiron> oh bah, short description is too short
[04:04] <Shinj1EVA> @apeiron: use ccsm and play around with the settings. there's some things that increase productivity, although it's mostly eye candy.
[04:04] <greenhog> kemalist: well.. then how do i find the name of the network card? is it in the dmesg?
[04:04] <ubuntu810noob> cchapman: ICH10R
[04:04] <kemalist> greenhog, it must be in "ipconfig" list
[04:04] <musikgoat> JasonF: if your just going for a lamp install, don't worry about it
[04:05] <kemalist> if it is working
[04:05] <philippe_> nsteinme, you probably need to add your monitor vsync and hsync settings in you xorg.conf file
[04:05] <cchapman> ubuntu810noob: i had the same problem with the ICH9R
[04:05] <greenhog> kemalist: u mean ifconfig?
[04:05] <ubuntu810noob> cchapman: fakraid I believe is what they call it.
[04:05] <kemalist> yes, sorry, ifconfig, greenhog
[04:05] <apeiron> Shinj1EVA, Looking at it now.
[04:05] <ubuntu810noob> cchapman: How did you fix it?
[04:05] <nsteinme> philippe, it looks like they are already in there, how could i try them out if they are?
[04:05] <JasonF> musikgoat: I worry about everything.
[04:05] <JasonF> musikgoat: apparently the libapache2-mod-php5filter has the filter module built in
[04:06] <kemalist> anyway, anyone experiencing a weird behaviour by VLC, while compiz is up?
[04:06] <cchapman> ubuntu810noob: I disabled the RAID in the bios and did a software raid 5
[04:06] <JasonF> no idea why that's not just a php5-foo module, though
[04:06] <JonathanEllis> Can anyone recommend whether its better to use ext3 or ReiserFS for a partition that will be used to store many mp3 files and to record and edit audio?
[04:06]  * apeiron goes 'meh' at wobbly-windows
[04:06] <greenhog> kemalist: ifconfig shows only lo device... nothing else..
[04:06] <kemalist> JonathanD, ext3
[04:06] <slinkeey> Uninstalling Compiz Fixed my issues!! :)
[04:06] <kemalist> greenhog, that's weird
[04:06] <cchapman> ubuntu810noob: if you read on the raid controller it really isnt a good one.... its part hardware and mostly software
[04:06] <kemalist> it should be up, in my case it worked and got its ip on its own
[04:06] <Shinj1EVA> apeiron, i think if you're looking productivity, either slide/cube and scale might be it.. i use window previews with AWN too
[04:06] <eliasp_> JonathanEllis: if you love your data, take ext3... if you don't care about them, take ReiserFS ;)
[04:07] <ubuntu810noob> cchapman: Yeah, found out after I bought it... sigh.
[04:07] <philippe_> nsteinme, paste the content of you xorg.conf file here : http://paste.ubuntu.com/
[04:07] <JonathanEllis> Thanks.
[04:07] <Shinj1EVA> super + tab is nice, but not all that useful..t here's a ring switcher too
[04:07] <greenhog> kemalist: but in the vmware server console it shows that network is connected... maybe my network card doesnt support bridged mode?
[04:07] <n8tuser> JonathanEllis-> just an info on the guy that developed reiserfs has been arrested for murdering his wife..dont know what it will mean
[04:07] <cchapman> ubuntu810noob: best bet is either buy a good raid controller or just stick with raid 5 via software
[04:07] <kemalist> greenhog, impossible
[04:07] <kemalist> it sets a virtual device which routes you
[04:07] <eliasp_> greenhog: bridging has nothing to do with your physical device...
[04:08] <kemalist> real card--->virtual card--->vmware ubuntu
[04:08] <tritium> n8tuser: very old news.
[04:08] <ubuntu810noob> cchapman: What BIOS setting did you use? ACPI?
[04:08] <greenhog> kemalist: ok.. im out of ideas..
[04:08] <Roasted> My flash drive doesn't get picked up by Ubuntu, but my flash drive works in this computer in Vista and Ubuntu picks up my USB wireless adapter as well as my USB mouse and USB printer, so clearly my USB ports work. But why does Ubuntu not recognize my flash drive??
[04:08] <n8tuser> tritium not really, he was only convicted about a month or two ago
[04:08] <kemalist> greenhog, i've never heard of such an issue, i'm sorry
[04:08] <Fenix|home> Greetings...
[04:08] <tritium> n8tuser: precisely
[04:08] <greenhog> kemalist: alrite..
[04:08] <apeiron> Shinj1EVA, whee, lots of settings.
[04:08] <Fenix|home> what do I need to do with my SSH client so it doesn't draw lines using lqqqk?
[04:08] <cchapman> ubuntu810noob: I changed my settings back to native sata drivers.... then it saw all three drives..... then i setup the software raid 5 during the ubuntu install
[04:09] <eliasp_> Fenix|home: set the encoding on both sides to UTF-8
[04:09] <Shinj1EVA> apeiron: yes there are.. it takes a while to configure, but after your done, i'm sure you'll like compiz
[04:09] <kemalist> anyway, i'd ask why the hell compiz is set on by default
[04:09] <ubuntu810noob> cchapman: cool. I will try that. THanks for your help.
[04:09] <Shinj1EVA> i'd stay clear of too much eye candy though, it gets distracting
[04:09] <Fenix|home> eliasp_, ok, my ssh client is using utf-8
[04:09] <nsteinme> philippe, http://paste.ubuntu.com/73659/
[04:09] <panfist> how can i do something in the command line like, execute the following command after 'x' minutes
[04:09] <cchapman> ubuntu810noob: not a problem
[04:09] <Fenix|home> what do I need to do to ensure ubuntu is purely utf-8?
[04:09] <JonathanEllis> ﻿Can anyone please tell me what the relatime option in fstab is for?
[04:09] <jamesish> panfist: to do something at the command line, type it in.
[04:09] <jamesish> panfist: then hit enter.
[04:09] <kemalist> well guys, serious question, any serious english dictionary for ubuntu?
[04:09] <statim> i need the either apache2-threaded-dev or apache2-prefork-dev, but im not sure which or how im supposed to know which to pick.  anyone have ideas?
[04:10] <n8tuser> JonathanEllis-> man fstab maybe it has an explanation?
[04:10] <musikgoat> panfist: man at
[04:10] <tritium> kemalist: you know you can search for packages in synaptic, or with apt-cache search <term>, right?
[04:10] <Roasted> Can anybody help me diagnose why Ubuntu does not pick up my flash drive??
[04:10] <panfist> musikgoat perfect
[04:10] <Fenix|home> JonathanEllis, Google is your friend and so are MAN pages... but for the lazy... https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab
[04:11] <kemalist> tritium, i couldn't find any dictionary but dict, and i need something with a GUI, any advice is welcome
[04:11] <george> hell-o
[04:11] <tritium> kemalist: Applications -> Accessories -> Dictionary doesn't work for your neesd?
[04:11] <tritium> needs*
[04:11] <kemalist> tritium, it's creepy
[04:11] <philippe_> nsteinme, I take a look
[04:11] <constantin_> when ubuntu refers to a software channel
[04:11] <constantin_> what does that mean
[04:11] <kemalist> i wanted to ask, if i may, for something *more advanced
[04:11] <constantin_> "a later version is available in a software channel"
[04:12] <musikgoat> constantin_: its a repository
[04:12] <nsteinme> philippe, thanks
[04:12] <tritium> kemalist: no idea what you mean by that
[04:12] <musikgoat> !repository
[04:12] <cchapman> Roasted: i can try
[04:12] <Shinj1EVA> Anyone get mplayer vdpau playing mkv x264 files?
[04:12] <Roasted> cchap - I'd love any help you can give me... let me type out what's up...
[04:12] <kemalist> tritium, most of the database is out of date
[04:12] <george> I was wonderin if anyone could walk me through getting flash to work in konqueror
[04:12] <kemalist> and referring to a very old english
[04:12] <constantin_> was that to me ubottu?
[04:12] <musikgoat> constantin_: yes
[04:12] <Fenix|home> hey musikgoat how goes it?
[04:12] <JonathanEllis> ﻿Fenix|home and ﻿n8tuser: Thanks. I already googled but sometimes if you dont know exactly what the search term should be one wades through loads of stuff that doesnt really help. I must confess I forgot about man fstab :blush:
[04:12] <kemalist> thanks anyway tritium
[04:13] <Michael> Can the Ubuntu 8.10 Desktop Live CD be run on a computer without a hard drive? If so, how?
[04:13] <musikgoat> its ok, and you?
[04:13] <Fenix|home> meh
[04:13] <Roasted> cchapman - My flash drive works in my XP laptop and Vista desktop. My Vista Desktop also dual boots Ubuntu. So by the flash drive working in Vista, it's obvious it's not a hardware issue. In Ubuntu, Ubuntu recognizes my usb wireless, usb mouse, and usb printer... so my USB ports work fine in Ubuntu. But Ubuntu doesn't recognize my flash drive. sudo fdisk -l, gparted, and sudo modprobe usb-storage yield nothing.
[04:13] <tritium> kemalist: so, you're saying you searched?
[04:13] <n8tuser> JonathanEllis-> if not in man fstab, perhaps man mount
[04:13] <Fenix|home> (meh was just added to the dictionary today btw)
[04:13] <cchapman> Roasted: have you looked at dmesg
[04:13] <kemalist> i did tritium, but well, synaptics has got so many packages that it's getting confusing
[04:14] <Fenix|home> n8tuser, man fstab works too
[04:14] <cchapman> see if it sees the insertion of it
[04:14] <Michael> My problem is that the Live CD doesn't seem to boot on my HD less laptop. Any reason why?
[04:14] <Roasted> yes, theonly thing I notice is my usb printer. I dont notice anything... different... that would signify my flash drive
[04:14] <Roasted> let me try...
[04:14] <kemalist> so, with all the due respect for apt. i was looking for something more "human" for an advice
[04:14] <jamesish> Michael: how much ram you got?
[04:14] <dabbu> how can i install kde4 in ubuntu 8.10 while offline ?
[04:14] <JonathanEllis> n8tuser: Thanks. Fenix|home: Meh sounds like something Melchet from Black Adder would say!
[04:14] <Michael> It ran Ubuntu 7 fine
[04:14] <Roasted> cchapman - is there anything in particular I am looking for in dmesg? It's a wholllllllle list of stuff...
[04:15] <Michael> I have 700 ish megs of ram
[04:15] <cchapman> try this
[04:15] <Angah_> i have free the ram
[04:15] <cchapman> Roasted: tail -f /var/log/dmesg
[04:15] <Angah_> got back 3gb
[04:15] <cchapman> Roasted: and insert and remove your flash drive
[04:15] <Shinj1EVA> dmesg | tail
[04:16] <Fenix|home> hey musikgoat is converting ubuntu to utf-8 as simple as installing locale and localeconf?
[04:16] <Roasted> so wait... flash drive unplugged... dmesg tail... then plug it in?
[04:16] <cchapman> Roasted: doesnt matter
[04:16] <musikgoat> Fenix|home:
[04:16] <george> I have konqueror-nsplugins installed, flashplugin-nonfree  10.0.12.36ubuntu1, but still it doesnt work
[04:16] <MikeHbuntu> Roasted, probably do a dmesg before and after, see what changes.
[04:16] <musikgoat> ^^yes
[04:16] <MikeHbuntu> IMHO
[04:17] <Fenix|home> Roasted, personally I like watch -n 1 dmesg
[04:17] <Fenix|home> you don't have to run the tail over and over again as that command updates every second
[04:17] <cchapman> Roasted: tail -f /var/log/dmesg will auto output anything new to dmesg on your screen
[04:17] <Michael> I heard Ubuntu kills laptops. Any precautions that I should take?
[04:18] <Shinj1EVA> why would it kill your laptop?
[04:18] <cloud-nist> I added /etc /fstab in order to view my NTFS partition and removed the Floppy entries in fstab. Now my usb drive wont mount nor can I see it when I run the sudo fdisk -l command in terminal. Can someone please help me?
[04:18] <musikgoat> Michael using laptops kills laptops
[04:18] <MikeHbuntu> Michael, anything to do with the load cycles on the hdd? i think you need to disable powersave somehow
[04:18] <MikeHbuntu> for the hdd
[04:18] <TVVCR6> Can someone tell me where the hell the download button is on this page? `uname -r` | grep snd
[04:18] <TVVCR6> Oops
[04:18] <cloud-nist> Edited not Added
[04:18] <Michael> Yeah, i think thats what it was about
[04:18] <TVVCR6> http://www.m-audio.com/index.php?do=support.drivers&f=422
[04:18] <Fenix|home> Michael, check with Interpol to see if Ubuntu has a record... I'm sure they'd have some hints on a serial laptop killer
[04:18] <Roasted> cchapman - when I run that command you said, it doesn't go back to the prompt for me to type it again after I plug in my flash drive to compare what's different.
[04:18] <tritium> TVVCR6: language, please.  We try to keep this channel family-friendly.
[04:19] <cchapman> Roasted: thats becaused the file is open and any changes are written directly to your screen
[04:19] <Roasted> so, open another terminal?
[04:19] <Roasted> or keep it open and plug in the drive and see waht changes?
[04:19] <george> \q
[04:19] <TVVCR6> tritium: sorry
[04:19] <Fenix|home> Michael, but seriously... check http://www.linux-laptop.net/ and see if your laptop and Ubuntu are there... these are reports others with your hardware have made with the success or failure of various linux distros...
[04:19] <cchapman> Roasted: plugin and remove and see what changes
[04:19] <ekontsevoy> 's gtkrc file over to my current theme, but the scrollbars have not changed.
[04:19] <TVVCR6> tritium: didn't think it was a bad word
[04:20] <ekontsevoy> Has anyone ever modified gnome's themes? I want to se the color of scrollbars to the "color of selected item" (just like "Glossy" theme does it) but I can't find how to do that: I even copied glossy's gtkrc file over to my current theme, but the scrollbars have not changed.
[04:20] <MikeHbuntu> Michael, i believe that you can set the powersave mode with hdparm..
[04:20] <JonathanEllis> So it seems that relatime is now a default option for linux filesystems. In that case, is there any point in specifying it explicitly in fstab?
[04:20] <Roasted> I ran the command, plugged it in, counted to 10, unplugged... nothing changed.
[04:20] <MikeHbuntu> mind you, this is anecdotal, although im about to test it with the new harddrive i just got for my macbook.
[04:20] <musikgoat> TVVCR6: i didn't see any bad words either
[04:20] <oly562> wiggles
[04:21] <musikgoat> TVVCR6: oops? maybe,  heh
[04:21] <Fenix|home> musikgoat, since localeconf no longer seems to be a package in intrepid... how do I configure?
[04:21] <Fenix|home> utf8-migration-tool?
[04:21] <Michael> lol
[04:21] <franck> Hi
[04:21] <Shinj1EVA> seriously, no one's tried to get the new nvidia video decode acceleration working?
[04:21] <Michael> What does it mean when you're loading the live cd and the bar stops moving?
[04:22] <musikgoat> Fenix|home: i know its locale-gen  but i don't remembre the syntax
[04:22] <franck> I'm trying to install ubuntu 6.06 on a server but it cannot detect the CDROM
[04:22] <franck> any tips?
[04:22] <MikeHbuntu> Michael, now that issue im not sure about :)
[04:22] <oly562> franck: load windows..
[04:22] <Michael> :(
[04:22] <Michael> Maybe its the CD drive
[04:22] <musikgoat> Fenix|home: locale-gen [options] [locale] [language]
[04:22] <Michael> I'll try my other
[04:22] <franck> it is a sata cdrom
[04:22] <cchapman> Roasted: my bad
[04:22] <Shinj1EVA> guess not :(
[04:22] <Fenix|home> musikgoat, so ubuntu sets the default locale to POSIX?
[04:22] <Fenix|home> wow
[04:22] <cchapman> Roasted: tail -f /var/log/messages
[04:22] <Fenix|home> (at least ubuntu server)
[04:22] <sFEARs> Michael, sometimes it means that the drivers it's trying to load can't be loaded.. try some of the different boot options using f4 at the boot prompt
[04:22] <MikeHbuntu> Michael, does it sound like the drive is going over and over? (does the disc have dirt/scratches on it at all?)
[04:23] <Michael> sorta
[04:23] <Michael> wait its moving again
[04:23] <MikeHbuntu> ooh
[04:23] <Michael> i guess its working
[04:23] <ghindo> Hi, I've got a box that won't boot because of file system errors.  At boot, it says I need to run fsck manually.  Problem is, I'm not sure how.  Any help?
[04:23] <MikeHbuntu> you may have a slightly errored disc, but if its still going, good :)
[04:23] <Shinj1EVA> put in a live cd
[04:23] <Michael> Can ubuntu fit onto a 2 gig flash drive?
[04:23] <sFEARs> ghindo, can you boot into recovery mode?
[04:23] <Roasted> Nov 17 23:23:14 jason-intrepid kernel: [ 2012.572014] usb 4-6: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 11

[04:23] <Roasted> oh crap... my bad
[04:23] <musikgoat> Michael for install? or to run the os?
[04:23] <Roasted> I didn't think it'd do that!!
[04:24] <crashatau> My brother does
[04:24] <Michael> To install to
[04:24] <sFEARs> ghindo, recovery mode may give you the fsck option
[04:24] <ghindo> Shinj1EVA: I didn't even think of that.  Thank you.
[04:24] <ghindo> sFEARs: How do you access recover mode?
[04:24] <Fenix|home> musikgoat, locale-gen shows I already have two utf8 locales... I guess all I need to do is change the locale settings
[04:24] <Shinj1EVA> actually,, follow the other's instructions if you can get into recover mode
[04:24] <cchapman> Roasted: did it tell you it connected to something like sdb
[04:24] <musikgoat> Michael: tbh, i don't remember for install, you may be able to pull it off
[04:24] <tritium> Michael: you can create a USB with a persistent home directory in under 1 GB.
[04:24] <Michael> SCORE!
[04:25] <musikgoat> ^^thanks tritium
[04:25] <cchapman> Roasted: or sdb1
[04:25] <MikeHbuntu> Michael, i dont see why you couldnt install straight there, however, there will probably be a few caveats.. ive not tried it yet
[04:25] <sFEARs> ghindo at the boot menu.. press escape a couple of times when you first start your computer.. it should give you a grub boot menu in which will be a recovery mode option
[04:25] <Roasted> cchapman - I don't see anything like that...
[04:25] <ghindo> sFEARs: Okay, I'll give that a shot.  Thank you!
[04:25] <Roasted> it just did what I pasted above in those 4 lines...
[04:25] <cchapman> can you copy it to pastbin
[04:26] <matthias_> hi anybody knows why in youtube i see  like 5 seconds of a mivie and than stops by itself ...
[04:26] <TooR4u> How to install csim in ubuntu?
[04:26] <cchapman> !pastebin
[04:26] <kemalist> matthias_, cause youtube is evil
[04:27] <TooR4u> How to install csim in ubuntu?
[04:27] <cchapman> Roasted: should read somehting like this http://paste.ubuntu.com/73672/
[04:27] <Shinj1EVA> what is csim?
[04:27] <matthias_> the reson is that i installed an firewall but after that not many things works as usual and i uninstalled the firewall but still having problems and youtube clips i have no sound in and the clip for 5 minutes plays in 5 seconds only and freezez or storps
[04:27] <cloud-nist> I edited /etc /fstab in order to view my NTFS partition and removed the Floppy entries in fstab. Now my usb drive wont mount nor can I see it when I run the sudo fdisk -l command in terminal. Can someone please help me?
[04:27] <ipid>  i have a problem with interpid the system freezes, after long period of inactivity. i have tried changing the screen saver to blank no use. from screen saver menu i only see the LCD goes into stand-by but not the CP what could be the cause. Would the system log something because i had to reset by power switch
[04:27] <Shinj1EVA> matthias_: what firewall did you isntall? Why would it affect your sound?
[04:27] <TooR4u> csim is a simulator used to program for network simulations .. Shinj1EVA
[04:28] <musikgoat> !file csim | Shinj1EVA
[04:28] <Shinj1EVA> !file csim
[04:28] <Shinj1EVA> haha
[04:28] <RHorse> ipid, what processor do you have?
[04:28] <musikgoat> eh, not in the repos
[04:28] <Roasted> cchapman - no, it didn't have any sdb tags like that at all...
[04:28] <Shinj1EVA> matthias_: oh well, uhm.. is it an open source app? windows app?
[04:28] <xuburant> I am wondering what the "modifications" are in firefox as the addon. Does anybody know where I can find that info?
[04:28] <cchapman> Roasted: you know how to use pastebin?
[04:28] <Roasted> I'm afraid I don't.
[04:28] <ipid> RHorse: AMD6400+
[04:28] <TooR4u> musikgoat, do you know how to install csim ?
[04:29] <TooR4u> i googled that, but got no luck
[04:29] <matthias_> Shinj1EVA:  fierestarter i think it is named but i do not know why i did that but after installing it i could not hear any sound from my laptop except for the sound when i log in to ubuntu ...
[04:29] <cchapman> Roasted: what filesystem does it have on it?
[04:29] <musikgoat> TooR4u: i'd start with looking for deb packages, or if not, you can build from source
[04:29] <Roasted> fat32
[04:29] <musikgoat> TooR4u: but no, not specifically
[04:29] <Roasted> 8gb flash drive
[04:29] <RHorse> ipid: is that a hyperthreadin g cpu?
[04:29] <matthias_> Shinj1EVA:  no it is in the repository ...
[04:29] <cchapman> Roasted: NTFS, FAT32, EXT3?
[04:29] <Roasted> cchapman - fat32
[04:29] <ipid> RHorse: dont really know
[04:29] <matthias_> any ide why youtube stops after 5 s insted of playing the whole 5 minutes ....
[04:30] <tritium> TooR4u: it does not appear to be open-source
[04:30] <ipid> RHorse: Is there a command to show if it is
[04:30] <Dawson> Hey all, would anyone have any idea why my download speeds from Ubuntu Repositories are so slow?
[04:30] <cchapman> Roasted: goto http://paste.ubuntu.com and past your output from your tail -f /var/log/messages
[04:30] <RHorse> ipid: see if you can play with the Bios settings to get it to work. Esp powersave and hyperthreading if it has it.l modes
[04:31] <musikgoat> Dawson: change your download server
[04:31] <Shinj1EVA> matthias_: no, not too particularly.. youtube is flash.. do you ahve similar problems with other flash based sites?
[04:31] <Dawson> musikgoat, how?
[04:31] <musikgoat> Dawson: system -> admin -> software sources
[04:32] <Dawson> Musikgoat: With you so far, where from here?
[04:32] <Roasted> http://paste.ubuntu.com/73673/
[04:32] <TooR4u> tritium, okey, thank you..
[04:32] <matthias_> Shinj1EVA:  yes ...
[04:32] <musikgoat> Dawson: download from -> pick a server near you,  or you can try running the test
[04:32] <Roasted> cchapman - http://paste.ubuntu.com/73673/
[04:32] <Shinj1EVA> matthias_: are you using 64bit linux w/ nspluginwrapper for the flash plugin? i mean it should work either way.. just wondering..
[04:32] <ipid> RHorse: It was working well with ubuntu 8.04 but now with 8.10 it has this problem
[04:33] <musikgoat> Dawson: i've found that near me cs.umn.edu  is fast for me, even though some of are more local to me (in chicago)
[04:33] <GeorgeAScott> are there any adesso cyber tablet 6400 success stories out there with using pressure?
[04:33] <Dawson> Musikgoat: Huh, I'm finding the same thing. Any idea why?
[04:33] <MikeHbuntu> Dawson, have you tried the kernel.org mirror? they seem to be rather fast for me
[04:33] <musikgoat> Dawson: what do you mean?
[04:33] <apeiron> hum. I start Software Sources but I don't see "Download from".
[04:34] <musikgoat> under the ubuntu software tab
[04:34] <TVVCR6> Can someone help me download the 1010LT drivers for linux?
[04:34] <apeiron> Oh, there it is.
[04:34] <TVVCR6> http://www.m-audio.com/index.php?do=support.drivers&f=422
[04:34]  * apeiron needs to l2read
[04:34] <RHorse> ipid,  is intrepid stable yet?
[04:34] <musikgoat> :-)
[04:34] <musikgoat> imo, stable is an opinion,  its stable for me :-)
[04:34] <Michael> Are they selling Ubuntu at Best Buy yet?
[04:35] <musikgoat> it was stable enough to release :-)
[04:35] <Dawson> MikeHbuntu: I'm in Canada, will kernel.org still work for me? Musikgoat: Is the server speed based entirely on geographical proximity?
[04:35] <matthias_> Shinj1EVA:  32 bit should notaffect due tu it is just an firewall ...
[04:35] <TVVCR6> Is it on http://www.opensound.com ?
[04:35] <apeiron> I remember back in the day when office supply stores sold Linux.
[04:35] <musikgoat> Dawson: that, and the upload capability of the server, and the demand
[04:35] <MikeHbuntu> Dawson, yes, and yes, sort of.  yes it will work for you fine. its a north american mirror, in california.
[04:35] <ipid> RHorse: I have just installed it yesterday, it seems so
[04:35] <Roasted> cchapman - did you get my pastebin?
[04:36] <MikeHbuntu> and the capacity of the server, as musikgoat mentioned, is definitely a factor.  kernel.org has multiple gigabits.
[04:36] <cchapman> Roasted: ya.   thats is strange
[04:36] <RHorse> ipid: with Ubuntu one must adapt the hw to the sw more than with more ubiquitous OS's
[04:36] <MikeHbuntu> Dawson, try running 'mtr mirrors.kernel.org' from a terminal
[04:36] <Roasted> cchapman - I didn't change anything in my system... that's what's really weird.
[04:36] <Dawson> Musikgoat; MikeHbuntu, thank you so much for your help. Hopefully this will work. :-) Have a good one folks. :-D
[04:36] <Roasted> It (honestly) just randomly happened.
[04:36] <musikgoat> Dawson: where in canada?
[04:36] <MikeHbuntu> and if its relatively short, then you should have wonderful speeds.
[04:36] <cchapman> Roasted: how many usb devices do you have
[04:36] <Roasted> mouse, printer
[04:36] <Dawson> Musikgoat: Edmonton, AB.
[04:37] <Michael> Do I install Ubuntu from Create USB Startup Disk or the Install shortcut?
[04:37] <cchapman> Roasted: you try a different port?
[04:37] <Roasted> oh yes
[04:37] <ToddEDM1>   <--- Beaumont
[04:37] <venu> hi,i have a problem in k-torrent
[04:37] <Roasted> I have 8 ports, I tried them all
[04:37] <MikeHbuntu> Dawson, edmonton.. that shouldn't be too far, network wise, from california i would think
[04:37] <Roasted> 2 front 6 rear
[04:37] <cchapman> Roasted: wow
[04:37] <cchapman> Roasted: you have any other usb flash drives or hard drives
[04:38] <Dawson> MikeHBuntu; I was thinking the same thing. I was on a server from Toronto and it was giving me problems; but I'm thinking this will work. 'mtr mirrors.kernel.org', right?
[04:38] <musikgoat> Dawson: try us uni's near that providence, and kernel.org.... try running the select the best server test too
[04:38] <Roasted> no, nothing that's storage. I just have my wireless adapter.
[04:38] <Roasted> but let me ask my borther, he may have a flash drive
[04:38] <MikeHbuntu> Dawson, yes, that will run a full-screen traceroute program
[04:38] <MikeHbuntu> between you and the server
[04:38] <cchapman> Roasted: ok
[04:38] <lac> #ubuntu
[04:38] <Dawson> MikeHBuntu: Ah, makes sense.
[04:39] <Dawson> MikeHBuntu, Musikgoat, thank you both so much. :-D
[04:39] <MikeHbuntu> not a problem :)
[04:39] <musikgoat> sure :-)
[04:39] <Roasted> cchapman - no go, he lost his. But I can hook up my external HDD quick... its USB
[04:39] <Fenix|home> musikgoat, I can't seem to get ubuntu to not use POSIX for all the LC_
[04:39] <cchapman> Roasted: ok
[04:41] <musikgoat> Fenix|home: whats your output of locale?
[04:41] <virtualstefan13> any one knows the command on how to mount a iso file?
[04:41] <mxweas> how do I stop gdm from starting at boot on intrepid?
[04:42] <Fenix|home> LANG and LC_ALL are blank... LC_* is POSIX
[04:42] <Falstius> virtualstefan13: sudo mount -o loop somefile.iso somedir
[04:42] <mxweas> should I remove the line in /etc/X11/default-display-manager? I've heard it causes it to not boot as it cannot find a default display manager
[04:42] <mxweas> I just want it to show tty1 upon boot
[04:42] <Falstius> virtualstefan13: but it won't work from a LiveCD (at least it didn't last time I tried)
[04:42] <tritium> mxweas: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/reference/ch-tips.en.html#s-no-x-start
[04:42] <mxweas> thx
[04:43] <tritium> mxweas: the method utilizing update-rc.d is the debian/ubuntu preferred approach
[04:43] <venu> i have a problem in k-torrent until lost two days download will have aveg speed of 30kbps now it become 0.5kbps but the broad band speed is not changed can any one tell me what is the problem.................
[04:44] <mxweas> tritium: is it easy to undo?
[04:44] <tritium> mxweas: yes, also using update-rc.d
[04:44] <Roasted> cchapman - it recognizes my usb hard drive.
[04:44] <n8tuser> venu-> the remote end is slow or busy?
[04:44] <Michael> Is there a premade linux ISO that could run on my laptop's boot, load the PCMCIA drivers, then boot Ubuntu from a ext cd drive connected from a USB PCMCIA card?
[04:44] <JonathanEllis> I need to setup a machine with windows2000 and ubuntu dual booting. I need to share the home partition between the two operating systems. The reason for doing this is that the machine will be used to record audio and the audio interface does not work correctly under linux - it only works under windows :-(. I could use ntfs for the home partition but I dont want to. I understand there is the "Ext2 Installable File System For Windows" but this doesnt 
[04:44] <cchapman> Roasted: what brand is the flash drive
[04:44] <n8tuser> venu and not many seeders?
[04:45] <Roasted> cchapman - this hard drive is from school before I graduated. it has server 03, xp fat32, xp ntfs. And it cant load two of hte 3 partitions.
[04:45] <Roasted> like it can't mount those partitions.
[04:45] <Roasted> but 1 of them it manages to load, and regardless it recognizes that the partitiotns exist. I didn't even get that with my flash drive... and my flash drive is an A-DATA
[04:45] <Roasted> cchapman - also, my epson usb printer has every single light on it flashing. I've NEVER seen it do that...
[04:45] <Roasted> I just now noticed it.
[04:45] <venu> ﻿n8tuser->but in xp it will down load in 35kbps but in ubuntu it is giving proble................
[04:46] <tritium> !enter | Roasted
[04:46] <n8tuser> venu then use xp, where-ever you are most happiest
[04:46] <Roasted> yeah, yeah, I hear ya. I can't help it I type faster than I think.
[04:46] <musikgoat> Fenix|home: hmm,  looking into your problem i bit
[04:47] <CarlFK> what is the package that syncs the clock with a time server?
[04:47] <cchapman> does the printer work?
[04:47] <tritium> cchapman: ntp
[04:48] <knewuser> i see a black background on my "system tray" icons in kde4, any ideas how to solve this? ive asked in kubuntu, but no answer...

[04:48] <venu> no i kept 6 torrents all are 50% download and now it will become  very slow.................
[04:48] <MikeHbuntu> ntpdate sets it once, ntpd keeps it set
[04:48] <Shinj1EVA> hm... man.. vdpau mplayer patch is so buggy
[04:48] <CarlFK> tritium: that's it.  thanks.

[04:49] <kindofabuzz> is there a solution to the problem of downloading torrents slows the netork in Ubuntu even though I have the d/l speed set way low?

[04:50] <Michael> Wha...?
[04:50] <sFEARs> knewuser, have you tried removing and re-enableing the systray widget?
[04:50] <cchapman> Roasted: roflmao
[04:50] <Fenix|home> kindofabuzz, the problem isn't downloads... it's uploads and downloads... bittorrent is a natural DDoS type of service
[04:50] <Roasted> imagine that?
[04:50] <troubled> Michael: you forget already?!
[04:50] <venu> ok thx..............
[04:51] <knewuser> sFEARs: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=939566 i think its a bug

[04:53] <Roasted> So my system had no problem moutning a fat32 external HDD (via USB) but it has a problem with my 8gb flash drive (via USB)
[04:53] <Michael> Could I unplug the USB and plug it back in on a faster port after Ubuntu has booted?

[04:57] <Roasted> that is the external HDD

[04:57] <Roasted> I just realized the usb flash drive is in my laptop, duuur... one second

[05:01] <troubled> oly562: many distros support selinux to some extent, but may not be enabled or configured
[05:01] <oly562> is it in the default local on ubuntu?
[05:01] <troubled> oly562: no idea, i use debian :)
[05:02] <oly562> last i saw it was on redhat 5 and centos 5

[05:02] <kindofabuzz> Circs, huh? to make a new profile just run firefox -P http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_Manager
[05:02] <troubled> even debian supports selinux (disabled by default), so i wouldnt doubt ubuntu has for a while as well
[05:02] <kindofabuzz> that's not all togeher

[05:09] <slimjimflim>               the ubuntu addon for ff3 in order to connect to sites?
[05:09] <slimjimflim> otherwise it says 'working offline'
[05:09] <kyle205> Anyone?
[05:09] <djhash> kyle205: i'm not experience with wubi.. but I belive you might either need to re configure grub.. or maybe it just doesnt work that way
[05:09] <cchapman> Roasted: only conslusion i can come to is it is incompatible with linux
[05:10] <Roasted> it worked before... :*(
[05:10] <Roasted> its a new flash drive, about 3 weeks old. It's worked up until last night.
[05:10] <ivanoats> if I see another user logged on, can I take over their session? I want to close their session so I can get what they did written to .bash_history ( I own the machine and sudo / root)

[05:11] <kindofabuzz> ivanoats, sudo nano ~/user/.bash_history
[05:11] <zoople> hi all, having some ethernet troubles. lan works fine wirelessly and ethernet has worked fine in Hardy, but with Intrepid, unable to connect.
[05:11] <ivanoats> kindofabuzz:  .bash_history isn't written until the user logs out
[05:11] <kindofabuzz> ahh
[05:11] <kindofabuzz> boot them off lol
[05:11] <zoople> ive tried setting everything statically, including the routes, but still no luck
[05:11] <ivanoats> i wish it was that easy
[05:11] <ivanoats> i think if I boot them off, then .bash_history is not written
[05:12] <codesmith> What's meaning of "Install package from the Universe repository"?
[05:12] <tritium> !universe | codesmith
[05:12] <Shinj1EVA> anyone get past this on playing an mkv using ffh264vdpau codec in mplayer? http://paste.ubuntu.com/73684/
[05:12] <shinoj> slimjimflim: it happens when you take internet through other ways than through NM
[05:13] <slimjimflim> shinj1eva, vlc or kmplayer work
[05:13] <Shinj1EVA> they aren't compiled for vdpau
[05:13] <slimjimflim> shinoj, nm?
[05:13] <n8tuser> zoople-> can you elaborate on your network layout?
[05:13] <wmg1976> hi
[05:13] <zoople> sure, its pretty standard, got a all in one modem and router which this lappy connects to
[05:13] <zoople> then there is a wireless AP connected to that
[05:13] <codesmith> I can connect to Internet, but I always failed to get info from repository, such as Universe ,why?
[05:14] <Shinj1EVA> guess no one really messes with bleeding edge stuff here :(
[05:14] <shinoj> slimjimflim: network manager
[05:14] <paul68> n8tuser: goodmorning how are you today?
[05:14] <n8tuser> zoople-> so the lappy connected to the modem/router is okay
[05:14] <troubled> ivanoats: if you dont trust them, you probably shouldnt have allowed them on in the first place
[05:14] <srx2002> hi guys, I just installed ubuntu ...so far it's been great. ( I had some trouble with mandriva 2009 and the kde4...) so far it's been great, even though I am a N00b
[05:14] <tritium> codesmith: perhaps you've not configured apt to use that repo.  Read those URLs I sent you again.
[05:14] <slimjimflim> shinoj, oh, i'm using  wifi-radar
[05:14] <zoople> nah the ethernet is where im having the trouble
[05:14] <shinoj> slimjimflim: there is also fix. i did it long back
[05:14] <zoople> connects to the wireless AP fine
[05:14] <ivanoats> troubled: i trust them of course
[05:14] <n8tuser> paul68-> good evening my side
[05:14] <zoople> and thats what im on now

[05:15] <n8tuser> paul68 okay, i hope you had a good rest
[05:15] <slimjimflim> shinoj, ya
[05:15] <zoople> and i know its not the setup coz i have a dual boot with Hardy and its fine on that
[05:15] <ivanoats> troubled: i need to know because we are working on it together
[05:15] <shinoj> slimjimflim:  what is the ff version

[05:16] <zoople> whenever i try to ping out the ethernet i just get "connect: Network is unreachable"
[05:16] <paul68> n8tuser: A short rest I am at the office at this point and am not able to connect to the server from here that's for 12 hours from now :-)
[05:16] <n8tuser> zoople-> and you are getting an ip address from the router okay?
[05:16] <LF|Irssi> !screen
[05:16] <zoople> yup, but even if i wasnt, is et all that statically in the settings
[05:16] <srx2002> quick question, I did the updates and it seems to get a list...does that mean they re installed automatically??
[05:16] <shinoj> slimjimflim: wait i will search for the solution
[05:16] <slimjimflim> shinoj, ty
[05:16] <zoople> ive got a pastebin of all my network troubleshooting
[05:16] <n8tuser> paul68-> lets work on it later when you get home
[05:16] <zoople> http://www.pastebucket.net/73v2j2
[05:16] <troubled> ivanoats: if in doubt, send his bash the TERM signal instead of KILL

Anybody got an idea?
[05:17] <paul68> n8tuser: I understand that the 3 subnets are in fact an extra security layer right, how does my dhcp fit onto all this?  and can you give me the forwarding rules again for the iptables so that I can put them into a script

[05:17] <TVVCR6> !wine
[05:17] <slimjimflim> roasted, you'll have to mount it manually if it's not automatically recognized
[05:18] <drakeman> someone samy that i have to put this info
[05:18] <zoople> yeah thats the weird thing
[05:18] <zoople> coz ive set em statically in the settings
[05:18] <n8tuser> paul68-> bare with me for a few,
[05:18] <slimjimflim> roasted, remember most flash drives use fat32
[05:18] <Roasted> slimjimfilm - it's not recognized by gparted, sudo fdisk -l, or anything. Otherwise I could manually mount it - I'm familiar with that.
[05:18] <tritium> zoople: paste /etc/network/interfaces to confirm those settings
[05:18] <zoople> i tried to set em using ifconfig but get errors
[05:18] <paul68> n8tuser: sure no problem
[05:18] <zoople> yup sure
[05:18] <slimjimflim> roasted, try lsusb
[05:18] <tritium> zoople: (not here -- use pastebin)
[05:18] <slimjimflim> or lspci
[05:18] <Roasted> slimjim - I have. It yields no results for my flash drive.
[05:18] <zoople> sure thing tritium :-)
[05:18] <Roasted> At least, that I can tell.
[05:18] <troubled> drakeman: tried: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg?
[05:19] <Michael> apt-get is awesome
[05:19] <drakeman> yeah, but it doesnt show me anything
[05:19] <drakeman> with screen resolution
[05:19] <ivanoats> troubled: how do i send a TERM signal?
[05:19] <drakeman> only about keyboard settings
[05:19] <slimjimflim> pastebin the results of lsusb, roasted
[05:19] <n8tuser> zoople-> did you do ifdown eth0; ifup eth0  to really get the settings take effect?
[05:19] <Roasted> all right, 1 moment
[05:19] <troubled> ivanoats: help kill
[05:19] <drakeman> look, some guy in ubuntuforums
[05:19] <zoople> ill try that now
[05:19] <drakeman> give me that info
[05:19] <drakeman> http://paste.ubuntu.com/73689/
[05:19] <zoople> ok wow
[05:19] <n8tuser> zoople-> i assume eth0 as the one connected to the router
[05:19] <zoople> says eth0 not configured
[05:19] <troubled> ivanoats: and kill -l
[05:20] <Roasted> slimjimflim - When I lsusb, it takes a few minutes. I get a flashing box... I'll post when it's done.
[05:20] <n8tuser> zoople maybe its eth1 ?
[05:20] <troubled> ivanoats: followed by "kill -<sig#> <pid#>"
[05:20] <drakeman> but this dont work, i just got a running in low graphic mode and ask me to restore a backup xorg.conf
[05:20] <slimjimflim> that's not normal, roasted...it should be instant
[05:20] <zoople> nah coz the mac on that is the one of my wlan card im sure of it
[05:20] <slimjimflim> what kind of cpu do you have?
[05:20] <n8tuser> !who | zoople
[05:20] <zoople> ok sorry
[05:20] <troubled> ivanoats: you probably want 15 (SIGTERM)
[05:20] <Roasted> slim - I know. It's instant when I don't have it plugged in... but lags with it plugged in. Also, I just formatted this to fat32 on my xp laptop. And it yielded no difference.
[05:21] <ivanoats> thanks very much, checking out the help kill
[05:21] <tritium> zoople: are you going to pastebin that file?
[05:21] <shinoj> slimjimflim: wait searching in the mail for it
[05:21] <zoople> sorry tritium
[05:21] <troubled> ivanoats: that, or just reboot the machine next time ;)
[05:21] <zoople> just looks like i got something else going on coz it says that i dont have any eth0
[05:21] <slimjimflim> ok, shinoj
[05:22] <drakeman> anyone with info o little help with this please?
[05:22] <slimjimflim> roasted, pls use my full name when paging me
[05:22] <Angah_> drakeman: tell ur problem
[05:22] <slimjimflim> but yea, roasted, i don't know much else you can do then
[05:22] <Roasted> slimjimflim - all right. Also - Here's the paste bin to my lsusb, it finally responded http://paste.ubuntu.com/73690/
[05:23] <troubled> drakeman: just edit your config
[05:23] <drakeman> ok, before yesterday i have my resolution in screen 1152x768, but i ran some command in aticonfig to use a clone image of my screen to the tv, now i just got 1024x768 in resolution
[05:23] <n8tuser> paul68-> you would have dchp serving from dlink, another one for your internal 192.168.3.X and a 3rd one for linksys serving the 192.168.1.X
[05:23] <shinoj> slimjimflim: http://paste.ubuntu.com/73692/
[05:23] <drakeman> i try this info sugested by a user in ubuntu forums but didnt work
[05:23] <slimjimflim> roasted, yea, i have no idea then
[05:23] <drakeman> http://paste.ubuntu.com/73689/
[05:24] <slimjimflim> roasted, i think there's some kind of log that should have any new usb devices listed though
[05:24] <piju_> why playing movie cause my display went dimmer ?
[05:24] <slimjimflim> i forget where it is
[05:24] <drakeman> but i got a messages that says, running in low graphic mode!!!
[05:24] <shinoj> slimjimflim:  tell me if you get it right
[05:24] <slimjimflim> ok
[05:24] <drakeman> and i have to restar my old .bak xorg
[05:24] <Randall1> k does anyone know if the Nvidia Geforce4: MX 420 is still supported
[05:24] <troubled> drakeman: perhaps you aren't using the same drivers
[05:24] <drakeman> and im with 1024 yet
[05:24] <paul68> n8tuser: true but how does my dhcp server gets to give out the ips like I declared them in my dhcpd.config
[05:24] <n8tuser> paul68-> echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward;    iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE
[05:24] <Roasted> slimjimflim - chappman was helping me earlier. He gave me some command with var/log/messages, or something like that. It responded when I plugged in the flash drive... so my system was aware of SOMETHING being present. But it never acted as an actual storage device.
[05:24] <break_free> i installed emerald theme manager but it keeps freezing when I click on a theme... then I have to kill it
[05:24] <demonspork> Ranall1, there is no reason for it not to be supported
[05:25] <populas> hi there
[05:25] <demonspork> Randall1, there is no reason for it not to be supported
[05:25] <n8tuser> paul68-> thats for the 192.168.3.x on your dhcpd.conf  not config
[05:25] <drakeman> troubled: but this is the same drivers i used everytime, i didnt change it! im using propiertary ati drivers for ubuntu!
[05:25] <Randall1> demonspork: when i try and enable the driver it always boots to low-graphics mode
[05:25] <shovi> why does firefox display webpages so different in ubuntu than windows... i have msttcorefonts..
[05:25] <troubled> drakeman: try reinstall that package perhaps?
[05:25] <populas> I am in need of some help with screen and creating an alias to start a screen session in multiuser mode
[05:25] <demonspork> Randall1, it requires the legacy drivers
[05:25] <codesmith> Hi, buddies
[05:25] <drakeman> troubled: but i cant edit the xorg to set my resolution? too hard to do it?
[05:25] <paul68> n8tuser: understand but since there is nothing between my linksys and the eth1 its not of much use then right
[05:25] <oly562> populas:  bash something screen, i dont recall. let me check
[05:25] <Randall1> demonspork: well in hardware drivers it shows that one is available
[05:26] <demonspork> Randall1, the -legacy driver package needs to be installed
[05:26] <Randall1> demonspork: how?
[05:26] <demonspork> Randall1, through synaptic
[05:26] <Roasted> slimjimflim - I'm going to boot to a LiveCD and see if it responds on a LiveCD. Thank you for your help.
[05:26] <troubled> drakeman: no, its pretty easy to add a modeline from the examples given, so long as its using the driver you need for accelerated X for your card
[05:26] <n8tuser> paul68-> correct, so you dont need it, but in case you add devices on that subnet
[05:26] <break_free> any ideas as to why emerald theme manager keeps locking up?
[05:26] <codesmith> Why I cannot get package index of repository? If I cannot, I cannot install package, right?
[05:26] <Randall1> demonspork: which one would it be
[05:27] <populas> i know how to create a shared screen session, I just need to create an alias, and this is what I have tried to no avail  alias screen='screen -S share-test && CTRL-A :multiuser on CTRL-A :acladd root'
[05:27] <demonspork> Randall1, I think it is nvidia-glx-legacy
[05:27] <tritium> codesmith: again, did you configure it properly in /etc/apt/sources.list ?
[05:27] <n8tuser> paul68-> also we have configured your linksys as dhcp client, so a dhcp server has to give it an ip address
[05:27] <demonspork> Randall1, I am not sure, it has been a while since I messed with my box that has an MX 440 in it
[05:27] <oly562> populas: maybe in /etc/screenrc?
[05:27] <paul68> n8tuser: true
[05:28] <Randall1> demonspork: will there be anything i need to uninstall and after i install that what would i do
[05:28] <n8tuser> paul68-> iptables -A FORWARD -i eth0 -o eth1 -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT
[05:28] <troubled> populas: try set your options in your ~/.screenrc file?
[05:28] <drakeman> troubled: now im using some amd propiertary fglrx graphics drivers, and is active in this moment, when i reconfigure my xorg it shows as deactivate but if i turn the drivers on again it not fix my resolution problem!
[05:28] <codesmith> How to do it, trimph
[05:28] <n8tuser> paul68->  iptables -A FORWARD -i eth1 -o eth0 -j ACCEPT
[05:28] <heliedgar> hey someone with knowledge about integrates calculus
[05:28] <heliedgar> ?=
[05:28] <tritium> heliedgar: please stay on topic
[05:29] <oly562> populas: maybe .bashrc or um... .bash_aliases ?
[05:29] <heliedgar> ok
[05:29] <piju_> why playing movie cause my display went dimmer ?
[05:29] <codesmith> tritium
[05:29] <troubled> drakeman: you are using the driver you want right now? whats in your xorg config for resultions?
[05:29] <demonspork> Randall1, uninstall any other nvidia-glx packages that are already installed
[05:29] <heliedgar> i dont know how to use octave
[05:29] <tritium> codesmith: System -> Adminisration -> Software Sources
[05:29] <codesmith> how to edit
[05:29] <paul68> n8tuser: however I would have liked to use it since the whole goal of this excersise is to implement iptables with the restrictions on several ip ranges
[05:29] <codesmith> come on
[05:29] <populas> oly, looked in both places
[05:29] <codesmith> tritium, i follow your steps
[05:30] <Randall1> demonspork: none are, so after i install legacy drivers what do i do?
[05:30] <populas> I just need a user to be able to enter an alias, that sets the screen session to shared, so at any given time an admin can log in and help them with their commands
[05:30] <tritium> heliedgar: octave is like matlab -- not likely what you're looking for.  What do you need to do?
[05:30] <n8tuser> paul68-> take notes on what i pasted so far..am not going to repeat them, scroll back if you have to
[05:30] <codesmith> what's the next step?
[05:30] <heliedgar> i need to integrate
[05:30] <paul68> n8tuser: already done
[05:30] <WebcamWonder> Does anyone know what the table "TagsTree" is meant to hold in the digiKam SQLite Database?
[05:30] <oly562> populas: maybe something like in .bashrc    um...  alias screen="" something between the qoutes?
[05:30] <heliedgar> but i havent use matlab
[05:30] <drakeman> troubled: ok let me use pastebin to show my xorg.conf
[05:30] <tritium> heliedgar: numerically, or close-form solution?
[05:30] <troubled> populas: man screen ; /screenrc
[05:30] <populas> my problem is that when setting the alias, I dont know how to make the alias run :multiuser on :acladd user
[05:30] <n8tuser> !who | populas
[05:30] <paul68> n8tuser: I know I'm a nail in your coffin right now and I'm sorry for that
[05:30] <ardantus> Need help how to talking with another user in ubuntu shell command?
[05:31] <troubled> populas: I already told you, use a .screenrc file in your homedir to set options
[05:31] <fserve> o_O
[05:31] <zenlunatic> ardantus: man write
[05:31] <tritium> !pm | heliedgar, codesmith
[05:31] <populas> do you have any idea the syntax to place in that file troubled?
[05:31] <oly562> i love it when people say man it  lol
[05:31] <troubled> populas: man screen, explains all!
[05:31] <n8tuser> paul68-> i dont mind assisting, as long as you take notes, i cant remember what i typed earlier, or sometimes confuses which interface is which from you layout
[05:31] <ardantus> zenlunatic, ok i try
[05:31] <heliedgar> ok
[05:31] <heliedgar> sorry
[05:31] <slimjimflim> roasted, np
[05:31] <drakeman> troubled: look troubled this is my actual xorg file http://paste.ubuntu.com/73695/
[05:31] <demonspork> Randall1, you might be able to use the driver enabling tool to enable it
[05:32] <heliedgar> well
[05:32] <paul68> n8tuser: no problem
[05:32] <heliedgar> i dont know wath do u mean with numerically or close-form
[05:32] <troubled> populas: I should mention that if ubuntu and debian are similar, that may not work by default due to perms on the dir's and dev's for the controlling tty
[05:32] <n8tuser> ardantus talk or wall maybe?
[05:32] <break_free> any ideas as to why emerald theme manager keeps locking up?
[05:32] <Randall1> demonspork: well apparently nvidia-glx-legacy doesn't exist or has been obsoleted, and when i use the driver enabling tool it tells me it boots to low-graphics mode
[05:32] <demonspork> Randall1, if that doesn't work you can try installing the driver manually from the nvidia website (not a super-easy process) or find someone else to help you
[05:32] <n8tuser> ardantus ytalk or wall maybe?
[05:32] <tritium> heliedgar: you need to know
[05:32] <zenlunatic> n8tuserno it is write
[05:33] <oly562> populas:  i think while in screen you can do a C-a ?  and it will show list of available screen cmds
[05:33] <Randall1> demonspork: alright thanks
[05:33] <troubled> populas: you need to ensure that every user has read (and write for write perm) access to the tty and that screen run suid and have access to control a special dir for the sockets it uses
[05:33] <codesmith> thanks for your suggestion, tritium
[05:33] <Angah_> how to use bandwidth shaping in squid?
[05:33] <heliedgar> tririum: to integrate
[05:33] <tritium> codesmith: did it work?
[05:33] <oly562> populas: troubled sounds right
[05:33] <codesmith> no
[05:33] <oly562> . rc it
[05:33] <populas> oly562 apparently you dont understand what I am trying to do
[05:33] <troubled> screen in multi user is a pita in debian, i doubt ubuntu is any diff
[05:33] <tritium> codesmith: then you're likely not doing it right.
[05:33] <tritium> !repos | codesmith
[05:33] <codesmith> I don't know what's the correct steps
[05:34] <tritium> codesmith: see that last URL above
[05:34] <populas> Oly I have and know how to share a screen sessions between users, I want to create an alias that runs the appropriate commands to run what is needed to do so, with one command
[05:34] <codesmith> I doubt URL is wrong
[05:34] <oly562> populas: apparently i dont care either. just trying to help
[05:34]  * troubled waddles off to fetch a litre of cola
[05:34] <tritium> codesmith: I doubt it is wrong as well.  (in other words, it is correct)
[05:34] <populas> for example oly  alias screen='screen -L -S share-test && :multiuser on && :acladd root'
[05:34] <codesmith> How to select a correct server?
[05:34] <oly562> poplar: yep
[05:35] <heliedgar> well im leaving tanxk anyway
[05:35] <populas> that that does not process teh :multiuser on or :acladd user althought it will set the alias
[05:35] <tritium> heliedgar: numerical integration will result in a number for an answer.  A closed-form solution will give you an answer in terms of the variable of integration.
[05:35] <slimjimflim> shinoj, great, worked like a charm
[05:35] <zenlunatic> ardantus: keep in mind users can turn-off receiving msgs
[05:35] <codesmith> Does it mean I haven't connect sever correctly? right, tritium?
[05:35] <shinoj> slimjimflim: :)
[05:36] <KiNg-NoThInG> www.sourcecodefile.com
[05:36] <leo> holasssssssssssssss
[05:36] <drakeman> hola leo
[05:36] <Mittim> Good evening.
[05:36] <tritium> codesmith: I don't know what you've done unless you pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list
[05:36] <break_free> i installed emerald theme manager but it keeps freezing when I click on a theme... any help?
[05:36] <populas> okay oly, well thanks but no thanks...
[05:36] <paul68> n8tuser: I had prepaired a script for ip tables http://paste.ubuntu.com/73697/    and want to give the known devices from my dhcp server.conf access and the unknown users limited access
[05:36] <oly562> populas: anytime ;)
[05:36] <troubled> populas: you do realise with that alias that :multiuser would try to be run in bash right?
[05:37] <paul68> n8tuser: there might be still errors in it but thats what I try to achieve
[05:37] <drakeman> troubled: how it looks the xorg.conf file ?
[05:37] <troubled> leo: hola
[05:37] <troubled> drakeman: url?
[05:37] <shovi> why does firefox display webpages so different in ubuntu than windows... i have msttcorefonts..
[05:37] <populas> yes, that is what I am here seeing if anyone knows how to execute it properly troubled
[05:37] <oly562> populas: just outta curiosity what are you trying to screen ? core reason
[05:37] <codesmith> Does it mean I haven't connect sever correctly? right, tritium?/
[05:38] <tritium> codesmith: I don't know what you've done unless you pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list
[05:38] <codesmith> sorry
[05:38] <shadowwulf> hello i need some help here, i have a ubuntu 8.10 that logs into the ubuntu ... but shows a blank screen
[05:38] <troubled> populas: put the options in your .screenrc
[05:38] <populas> so how can I tell bash to pipe it to the program in the alias troubled?
[05:38] <iyahot> shadow explain
[05:38] <codesmith> If everything is right, what's the result?
[05:38] <leo> alguno de argentina?
[05:38] <populas> troubled, can you provide with the syntax or an example that will get that accomplished in the screenrc file?
[05:39] <paul68> !who |codesmith
[05:39] <codesmith> Should I see the directories in Add/Remove
[05:39] <tritium> !es | leo
[05:39] <vock> Do I want VirtualBox or Virtualbox OSE for Hardy? (Any diff?)
[05:39] <shadowwulf> iyahot, i can log into ubuntu .. but there is no desktop to say of ... its blank ... and so is the log on screen ...
[05:39] <Giovanni_2> alguma brasileira
[05:39] <tritium> codesmith: did you read the URLs I had ubottu send you?
[05:39] <shadowwulf> iyahot, i have the latest drivers
[05:39] <drakeman> troubled: http://paste.ubuntu.com/73695/
[05:39] <tritium> !pt | Giovanni_2
[05:39] <troubled> populas: try just add each option you want, one per line
[05:39] <drakeman> troubled: there you go troubled http://paste.ubuntu.com/73695/
[05:39] <iyahot> is it like DOS mode and u cant get out of it
[05:39] <codesmith> I read it
[05:39] <populas> alright, thanks troubled
[05:40] <iyahot> ?
[05:40] <troubled> populas: without the : i would imagine
[05:40] <troubled> drakeman: sec
[05:40] <n8tuser> paul68-> a quick glance at it, it seems okay, proof of the pudding is always do a test on it
[05:40] <Conexion> I was wondering, "Sudo" ... is that pronounced Sue-Dough or Sue-Doo?
[05:40] <oly562> iyahot: cntl-alt-f2, ps -ax , find the process, kill -9 xxxx, cntl-f7, get back to gui
[05:41] <troubled> drakeman: thats all that was there?
[05:41] <tritium> Conexion: keep in mind that it allows you to "do" things as the "superuser"
[05:41] <drakeman> troubled: yeah, now i enable the ati driver and i got this, http://paste.ubuntu.com/73701/
[05:41] <paul68> n8tuser: I get errors but thats for a later stage but as you can see I was hoping to achieve that, which was originally also the reason the linksys was set as switch instead of router
[05:41] <shadowwulf> any help on a blank screen .. with latest nvidia drivers and 8.10 ?
[05:42] <drakeman> troubled: but i cannot enable the 1152x resolution yet, look this http://paste.ubuntu.com/73701/
[05:42] <n8tuser> paul68-> but please do not forget to finish a networking tutorial, you promised me!
[05:42] <oly562> Conexion: sudoers so sudu
[05:42] <Conexion> tritium: Yeah, I was just curious as I've heard a few different videos say both
[05:42] <paul68> n8tuser: I won't forget still reading and try to comprehend what is happening
[05:42] <troubled> drakeman: did you try the suggestion to run: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg?
[05:42] <oly562> Conexion: who cares as long as you know how to use it i say ;)
[05:42] <Conexion> Thanks both tritium and oly562 :)
[05:42] <Conexion> :D
[05:43] <troubled> drakeman: chances are, your setup isn't showing the options for resolutions. also, doesn't ubuntu come with a tool to adjust resolutions? tried ctrl-alt-+/- combo to bump the res?
[05:43] <paul68> n8tuser: but at this stage already figured out that dhcp is useless on the linksys so I'm not a complete lost case right ;-)
[05:43] <oly562> Conexion: would have been much cooler to name it after sulu
[05:43] <SeaOfTea> How come fonts in linux always look like crap.  I mean some of them don't look bad but fonts like on web pages are usually to small or if I try playing a game the fonts are crappy/pixely/distorted?
[05:43] <SeaOfTea> linux = ubuntu
[05:43] <populas> beautiful troubled, I got it working
[05:43] <tritium> SeaOfTea: no
[05:43] <populas> Thanks again
[05:43] <Conexion> oly562: :D
[05:43] <smokewon> test
[05:43] <n8tuser> paul68-> a hub is very cheap nowadays, dont use the lan side of a router/gateway for that, or else you get confused or people helping you get confused
[05:43] <oly562> SeaOfTea: ?
[05:43] <zoople> so ive read a few issues with flash on ubuntu. before i install anything, whats is the going tip?
[05:44] <SeaOfTea> they don't look the same as they do if I'm say running vista
[05:44] <mimcpher> I'd just like to announce that the sound the ubuntu installer made after copying files scared the crap out of me.
[05:44] <oly562> SeaOfTea: linux > windoze
[05:44] <SeaOfTea> they are not as smooth
[05:44] <Conexion> Is there an advantage to logging in as a user when you're configuring a lot of things versus logging in as root?
[05:44] <SeaOfTea> I agree ubuntu beats the pants of vista in every way
[05:44] <SeaOfTea> except with fonts
[05:44] <n8tuser> paul68->  nope, you still need the dhcp to serve ip address to the linksys wan port
[05:44] <drakeman> troubled: yeah i already tried the reconfigure option, and with ctrl +/- no luck
[05:44] <troubled> Conexion: save time from running sudo for everything at the CLI
[05:45] <tritium> Conexion, troubled: just use "sudo -i", then
[05:45] <SeaOfTea> fonts are really clear on vista or xp for that matter
[05:45] <troubled> drakeman: go google up an example x config and copy paste some extra resolution definitions perhaps
[05:45] <paul68> n8tuser: and this with an average of 8 hours sleep in 3 days
[05:45] <n8tuser> zoople-> squared away now?
[05:45] <troubled> drakeman: thats rather old school though. surely ubuntu has a tool to do this for you
[05:45] <zoople> oh i gave up on the lan thing lol
[05:45] <SeaOfTea> is there like a cleartype or whatever for ubuntu?
[05:45] <Conexion> tritium: Ah, good to know. Does doing "sudo -i" again bring you back to normal?
[05:45] <tritium> SeaOfTea: yes
[05:45] <nerovengene>  how to clean intermediate object files after building from a source tarball, keeping the targets
[05:45] <n8tuser> paul68-> you are getting good practice before the baby comes.. :P
[05:45] <tritium> zoople: you never pasted your /etc/network/interfaces
[05:45] <drakeman> troubled: ok, let me try with this, you always here?  ill be back tomorrow
[05:45] <oly562> Conexion: i think its best to stay out of root, the way ubuntu/debian or linux or unix in general is to keep people from janking up their sys files and perms with root, although sudo allows you to do the same
[05:46] <zoople> yeah tritum sorry, im over that, cant be bothered figuring it out
[05:46] <troubled> drakeman: usually around, but I probably wont get a hilight in here since it scrolls by fast unless im at the console
[05:46] <tritium> SeaOfTea: System -> Preferences -> Appearance
[05:46] <Conexion> oly562: Yeah, true
[05:46] <paul68> n8tuser: ok but I could also assign one from in the dhcpd.conf then and the reason I need to use the linksys is to serve my wireless clients
[05:46] <zoople> i might try simplifying my network later tonight and finding it
[05:46] <drakeman> troubled: ok, thanks, i will try to cantc you tomorrow
[05:46] <tritium> zoople: so, we can be bothered trying to help you, but you won't answer our questions.  I see...
[05:46] <drakeman> troubled: hope i got luck
[05:46] <troubled> drakeman: cya and gl
[05:47] <drakeman> thanks for all troubled
[05:47] <drakeman> see you
[05:47] <zoople> oh tritium sorry, its not like that, i just stayed up last night tryin to fix it and im over it
[05:47] <yuri_> hello, just wondering if it is a good idea to upgrade to 8.10 at this time, is it as buggy as 8.04 was in the first month?
[05:47] <zoople> i appreciate your guys help really
[05:47] <n8tuser> paul68-> you can be as exotic as you want to be, once you understand networking
[05:47] <tritium> zoople: ok
[05:47] <VanessaE> hi again..
[05:47] <SeaOfTea> Yeah I've played around with those forever, but I still can't get all the fonts to look good.  It's wierd. I should take some screen shots to show you
[05:47] <shadowwulf> can anybody help me with a blank logon and desktop screen ... only thing that shows is the cursor but no desktop
[05:47] <djhash> how does someone go about submitting bug reports for ibex?
[05:48] <n8tuser> zoople-> oh come on, what is one more night without sleep? hehe
[05:48] <troubled> djhash: reportbug <pkgname>?
[05:48] <VanessaE> if I can access my scanner as root, but not as a user, despite my being in the saned and scanner groups, where would I look next?
[05:48] <VanessaE> (hardy, CX6400 scanner)
[05:48] <troubled> djhash: thats the debian way, not sure what ubuntu uses for sure though
[05:49] <n8tuser> VanessaE-> look in  /etc/udev/rules.d/60-permissions.rule
[05:49] <Guest68474> Hi all.
[05:49] <troubled> djhash: worst case, get yourself to the bug page for ubuntu via the web
[05:49] <paul68> n8tuser: I get your point, but as you very well know all this tutorials are in plain english, and since it's for a noob like me heavy material it would have been a lot easier when using my native language, (imagining you need to study something in dutch ;-))
[05:49] <Guest68474> Where do I report problems with pkg-config?
[05:49] <VanessaE> n8tuser, no such file.
[05:49] <Conexion> Are there any good guides out there for those converting from Windows to Ubuntu? I've been using Ubuntu for pretty good time now, but I just don't feel I do things as fast as I can in windows, and that bothers me
[05:49] <VanessaE> maybe 40-permissions.rules  ?
[05:50] <troubled> Conexion: maybe be better to ask for help on a particular area?
[05:50] <n8tuser> paul68-> i can emphatize with you..
[05:50] <n8tuser> VanessaE-> look in  /etc/udev/rules.d/  for something with permission
[05:50] <Niriven> Does anyone know any VM's that support multi core on the guest OS?
[05:51] <n8tuser> VanessaE-> maybe it is 40-*
[05:51] <demonspork> Niriven, not for free
[05:51] <statim> is there a way to make sure apt never installs a certain package, but tell it its dependencies are met?
[05:51] <Conexion> troubled: I think it is mostly understanding individual programs and the more advanced CLI stuff
[05:51] <Niriven> demonspork: Well i know of one free one, openvz i think supports it but its linux host only
[05:52] <andre_pl> just did a new 8.10 install and I network manager is listing each of my NIC's twice.
[05:52] <andre_pl> anyone seen this?
[05:52] <VanessaE> I see a few lines in here that mention "scanner" but nothing that sets permissions.  The closest I can find is 025_libsane-extras.rules but it is specifying the permissions of the device correctly
[05:52] <troubled> Conexion: usually the man pages are good for figureing out what a specific binary does. apropos command is handy as well. CLI stuff you probbaly want to spend a night and read the manual that is bash man page :)
[05:53] <VanessaE> all of the device entries under /dev/bus/usb/*/* are owned by root, group root.
[05:53]  * VanessaE <-- confused.
[05:53] <codesmith> trium, are you here?
[05:53] <n8tuser> VanessaE-> if your 25-*.rules already have the correct permission, you have to look somewhere else perhaps
[05:53] <Conexion> troubled: Yeah :) any advice on learning how to compile a program in the terminal?
[05:53] <vock> anyone know an IRC channel where i can get help with a wii?
[05:53] <tritium> Conexion: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwitchingToUbuntu/FromWindows
[05:53] <remote> Conexion: you read the readme
[05:54] <codesmith> tritium, I still can't get index of package
[05:54] <Conexion> tritium: Thanks :)
[05:54] <K^Holtz> what program do you use to unarchive a .7z file?
[05:54] <n8tuser> VanessaE-> can you paste your scanner rule specify your CX6400 scanner?
[05:54] <VanessaE> sure
[05:54] <n8tuser> VanessaE-> can you paste your scanner rule specifying* your CX6400 scanner?
[05:54] <tritium> codesmith: did you update the package list?
[05:54] <Conexion> remote: Well, I guess I don't want just the list of commands to copy, I want to know what the commands specifically do
[05:54] <VanessaE> from file /etc/udev/rules.d/025_libsane-extras.rules:    SYSFS{idVendor}=="04b8", SYSFS{idProduct}=="0805", MODE="0664", GROUP="scanner", ENV{libsane_matched}="yes"
[05:54] <troubled> statim: there is a command that can satisfy the dependency of something specific. you could also try set the status of something to "hold" and force an install perhaps
[05:54] <paul68> n8tuser: ok I am going back to the tutorial stuff and leave you in peace for now, if you could figure out a way in order for me to still use my dhcp and bind I will be very thankfull and gratefull > given my self till friday to solve this mess before the old config is getting back in ;-)
[05:55] <codesmith> no,
[05:55] <remote> Conexion: then type man <command> and rtfm
[05:55] <tritium> codesmith: there's your problem.  Follow instructions!
[05:55] <n8tuser> VanessaE->looks good to me
[05:55] <iyahot> buy a book
[05:55] <paul68> n8tuser: otherwhise my wife is not letting me enter my bed again hehehe
[05:55] <LF|Irssi> !rtfm
[05:55] <codesmith> do you think my network has problem
[05:55] <lbs> hi
[05:55] <tritium> codesmith: no
[05:55] <n8tuser> paul68-> id drop that bind  thing for now, you dont really need it til later..
[05:55] <codesmith> where is question
[05:56] <paul68> !who |codesmith
[05:56] <codesmith> i'm lost
[05:56] <Conexion> remote: Thanks, but eh on the language
[05:56] <tritium> codesmith: you need to either "sudo apt-get update", or reload in synaptic
[05:56] <ardantus> sir how i can chat with another user realtime like using commands wall but in ubuntu?
[05:56] <n8tuser> paul68-> you can not do much right now in bed...<wink> hehehe
[05:56] <codesmith> let me try
[05:56] <remote> Conexion: read the fine manual please
[05:56] <damijit> Hi, I just upgraded to Intrepid from Hardy, and I can't find the compiz-fusion menu (it used to be under System > Preferences). Can anyone help me out?
[05:56] <error404notfound> I have configure my ssh to automatically add dsa key for hosts into known_host, and never ask for it, or give warning, for root login it works fine, but on my normal login I still get a prompt asking to accept the host dsa key...
[05:56] <oobe> when i type aptitude search cunt it yields no results does anyone know where i can find cunt
[05:57] <lbs> who knows how to put my developed software to ubuntu repo?
[05:57] <tritium> !language | oobe
[05:57] <remote> error404notfound: it's because it's not in known_hosts!
[05:57] <oobe> sprry
[05:57] <oobe> sorry
[05:57] <remote> error404notfound: what's confusing you?
[05:57] <n8tuser> VanessaE-> read up on that udev article by Carla Schroder , it may give you some pointers
[05:58] <codesmith>                                              ftp://ftp.nerim.net/debian-marillat/pool/
[05:58] <codesmith> main/r/realplay/realplayer_10.0.6-0.0_i386.deb
[05:58] <paul68> n8tuser: copy that , if you could just keep it in mind for tonight that this is what I would like to achieve then I am a happy student :-)
[05:58] <paul68> !who > codesmith
[05:58] <remote> error404notfound: you are wanting to use password less ssh authentication?
[05:58] <error404notfound> remote: I changed my ssh config to auto-add that and never ask for confirmation or give a warning, on my root login, it works fine, on normal user's it asks for confirmation of host dsa key even now..
[05:58] <n8tuser> paul68-> laters..am off for a break..
[05:58] <error404notfound> remote: that I have done..
[05:59] <VanessaE> er
[05:59] <VanessaE> this udev stuff doesn't make sense to me
[05:59] <paul68> n8tuser: see you
[05:59] <remote> what is your "root login"?
[05:59] <tritium> codesmith: realplayer is in the medibuntu repository.  Please use that instead of Marillat
[05:59] <VanessaE> oh for crying out loud
[05:59] <VanessaE> now it works.
[06:00] <remote> VanessaE: crying always helps tremendously
[06:00] <VanessaE> turned it off/on and that's it.
[06:00] <yerchin> Hey guys, I have a small problem. The bars at the top of all my apps sometimes glitch and look funny. Is it just a graphics driver fart?
[06:00] <codesmith> !tritum, there is a question, when I execute apt-get update
[06:00]  * VanessaE feels st00pid now.
[06:00] <remote> yerchin: it might be a bar fart
[06:00] <tritium> codesmith: see my comment above
[06:00] <error404notfound> remote: okay, one last time, My ssh is configured to add host dsa keys to known_hosts by itself and never give warning or ask for confirmation. Now on my own system, if I try to ssh from my root account, it automiatically adds any new host dsa keys to known_hosts at /root/.ssh/ but on any other normal user, it still asks me to accept or reject host dsa key before t gets added to known_hosts,
[06:00] <SeaOfTea> Ok I figured out the main thing that sucks about the fonts they are too close together.  Is there any way to expand the space between the letters? http://img206.imageshack.us/my.php?image=crappyfontshm3.png   <--look at the top especially
[06:00] <yerchin> remote: are they really common or can I stop them?
[06:01] <lbs> who knows how to put my developed software to ubuntu repo?
[06:01] <SeaOfTea> it's like the letter all run into each other
[06:01] <remote> error404notfound: what did you change in your configuration? and did you change it in the global config or just in root's private ssh config?
[06:01] <tritium> SeaOfTea: what app is that?  That may be application-specific.
[06:01] <SeaOfTea> that's firefox
[06:02] <SeaOfTea> but it happens in other apps
[06:02] <remote> yerchin: whenever you eat something that will produce gas, it will most likely make you fart
[06:02] <yerchin> Is there a way to reskin the ubuntu gui?
[06:02] <tritium> remote: stop
[06:02] <error404notfound> remote: in /etc/ssh/, that means global, StrictHostKeyChekcking to no, even tried with HashKnowHosts no, and BatchMode yes
[06:02] <troubled> SeaOfTea: character kerning problem i see?
[06:02] <SeaOfTea> is that what its called?
[06:03] <troubled> i believe so
[06:03] <troubled> try adding that to a google search?
[06:03] <SeaOfTea> I can search that
[06:03] <SeaOfTea> thx
[06:03] <remote> no wait, if it does work for root, it should work for everybody
[06:03] <error404notfound> remote: and that's the problem..
[06:03] <troubled> SeaOfTea: also, are you using ttf font paths in your x config? perhaps the fonts it wants arent available
[06:03] <remote> might there be a user specific ssh config that is overriding the global config in some way?
[06:04] <troubled> SeaOfTea: sorry I can't offer much other advice, I dont use X hardly ever, im CLI :)
[06:04] <remote> error404notfound: yes i understand what your problem is thanks
[06:04] <jane_> hi, I've tried installing ubuntu desktop 8.04 and 8.10 on a C3 processor and it hang during installation..
[06:04] <jane_> has anyone tried it?
[06:04] <coldboot> Would anyone know why XScreensaver no longer turns off the screens, but `xset dpms force off` works fine?
[06:05] <gluonman> I accidentally closed the terminal while it was downloading packages, and now that I'm trying to use it again, it says "Unable to get exclusive lock." What should I do so that I can use aptitude again?
[06:05] <remote> error404notfound: did you use ssh -v do enable debuging output?
[06:05] <jane_> does 8.4 or 8.10 still support C3 processor?
[06:05] <error404notfound> remote: no, I tried creating a brand new user and trying to ssh from him, same with everyone else except root, and root has just known-hosts in /root.ssh/, no user specific configs there
[06:05] <remote> you should use it on root, then compare with your user's ssh -v debug output
[06:05] <troubled> coldboot: no option for dpms in any of the screensaver/monitor settings?
[06:05] <statim> troubled: hmm... i cant figure out how to add a "hold"... google talks about apt-get hold, but that isnt valid on my apt-get. any ideas?
[06:05] <troubled> statim: i use: echo "pkgname hold" | dpkg --set-selections
[06:05] <remote> error404notfound: paste the output of working ssh -v
[06:06] <coldboot> Oh, stupid xscreensaver was uninstalled.
[06:06] <troubled> statim: try "dpkg --get-selections | less" for a list of stuff installed as well
[06:06] <remote> make sure to remove the know_host entry first
[06:06] <SeaOfTea> troubled: you don't use a gui at all? Do like feeling like living in 1983.
[06:06] <SeaOfTea> j/k
[06:06] <troubled> statim: after you set HOLD, your package should show up in get selections
[06:06] <remote> error404notfound: rafb.net/paste
[06:06] <error404notfound> remote: I know about pastebin
[06:06] <statim> troubled: cool thanks!
[06:06] <troubled> SeaOfTea: hey! back in my day, we had to calculate our scanlines for modelines by hand kid! ;)
[06:07] <troubled> SeaOfTea: i use XP to ssh+screen for my linux though
[06:07] <SeaOfTea> ahhh
[06:07] <remote> error404notfound: just paste your output somewhere i can see it
[06:07] <troubled> i do an export DISPLAY=mypc.home:0, occassionally though with cygwin X when I need it
[06:07] <SeaOfTea> right, I have a box that I ssh
[06:08] <troubled> I probably should mention that I use debian as well though ;)
[06:08] <SeaOfTea> into
[06:08] <gluonman> I can't use aptitude because it says "unable to get exclusive lock." I accidentally closed the terminal while it was downloading packages. What do I do?
[06:08] <error404notfound> remote: http://pastebin.com/m6577dc19
[06:09] <remote> error404notfound: i'd like to question the reason why you want to accept ssh keys blindly as well, you know that's not very good now do you?
[06:09] <error404notfound> remote: but I want to, because all systems are in a DMZ, plus located right next to me, so I can manually verify DSA keys if required.
[06:09] <troubled> statim: speaking of aptitude: aptitude hole <pkgname> :)
[06:10] <troubled> statim: err s/hole/hold/
[06:10] <statim> cool
[06:10] <lirit> less in color? how?
[06:11] <remote> error404notfound: would you paste the output where it's not working please?
[06:11] <error404notfound> troubled: what's that hole to aptitude? man page doesn't say anything about it..
[06:11] <constantin_> okay i have a +hfs partition with OSX installed on it but i cannot access it at all
[06:11] <error404notfound> remote: both are pasted on the same link, please scroll down and see a section separated by line breaks
[06:11] <constantin_> i think i messed up yaboot on the install of ubuntu or something
[06:12] <constantin_> so what do i need to do to access OS X again
[06:12] <error404notfound> constantin_: you need to mount it, I don't know automount of hfs+ is supported or not, but sure you can do manualy
[06:12] <shirish> hi all, can somebody run grub --version and tell me if there is an output to this command?
[06:12] <troubled> lirit: not sure if less understands ansi
[06:12] <gluonman> I need to get to use aptitude again. Ever since I accidentally closed my terminal while it was downloading packages, I can't get access to aptitude or apt-get again.
[06:12] <error404notfound> shirish: grub (GNU GRUB 0.97)
[06:12] <lala_lala> hi. i need help. i have been installing this linux version and it's called gOS. i tried their support forum but i have not found my answer. so i'd like to know the answer to my question. my question is i have been installing and i am at this part where it is the last step, it is 94% and it is "configuring hardware". it is taking forever, over 2 hours. What should i do???
[06:12] <troubled> lirit: although, if you use screen, you can just display something and do a "ctrl-a,[" to start copy mode and scroll around using that
[06:12] <error404notfound> shirish: that's is if grub is installed... else no output
[06:13] <shirish> error404notfound: you get grub (GNU GRUB 0.97) ?
[06:13] <constantin_> how do i mount??
[06:13] <shirish> error404notfound: right, thank you.
[06:13] <error404notfound> shirish: yes, coz that's the version I have installed on my system...
[06:13] <troubled> error404notfound: I corrected my statement to statim with s/hole/hole/, or try "aptitude moo" ;)
[06:13] <doors981> pls help, printing from ubuntu to windows xp?
[06:13] <shirish> error404notfound: cool, thank you.
[06:13] <constantin_> how do i get it to come up as a choice on boot? right now on startup i get a gray screen for a while then ubuntu kicks in
[06:13] <troubled> error404notfound: errrrr, s/hole/hold/ :)
[06:13] <clint_> hi guys
[06:13] <lala_lala> hi. i need help. i have been installing this linux version and it's called gOS. i tried their support forum but i have not found my answer. so i'd like to know the answer to my question. my question is i have been installing and i am at this part where it is the last step, it is 94% and it is "configuring hardware". it is taking forever, over 2 hours. What should i do???
[06:13] <lirit> troubled: thanks.
[06:13] <clint_> anybody has knowledge on FreeBSD
[06:14] <remote> error404notfound: can you spot any difference between the two?
[06:14] <clint_> mm
[06:14] <error404notfound> constantin_: please see man mount, and fdisk, you will run fdisk -l to found dev id of that partition and then use commandline "mount dev_id path_to_mount -t hfs+ -o anyoptions"
[06:14] <lala_lala> ??
[06:14] <error404notfound> troubled: I see...
[06:14] <constantin_> and will that allow me to choose it on startup?
[06:15] <error404notfound> remote: many...
[06:15] <constantin_> i'll look at the man
[06:15] <lala_lala> hi. i need help. i have been installing this linux version and it's called gOS. i tried their support forum but i have not found my answer. so i'd like to know the answer to my question. my question is i have been installing and i am at this part where it is the last step, it is 94% and it is "configuring hardware". it is taking forever, over 2 hours. What should i do???
[06:15] <error404notfound> constantin_: nope, for that you need to add its entry to /etc/fstab
[06:15] <error404notfound> constantin_: that would be great
[06:15] <remote> error404notfound: did you notice the one who fails to do what you want, doesn't read /etc/ssh/ssh_config ?
[06:15] <error404notfound> remote: yup, but question is why?
[06:15] <Flannel> lala_lala: This is #ubuntu, we have no idea how gOS installs, you really need to ask them.
[06:15] <error404notfound> remote: permission are correct, then what?
[06:16] <piju_> why playing movie cause my display went dimmer ?
[06:16] <remote> error404notfound: rtfm!
[06:16] <yerchin> I'm looking at WINE vs Cedega, I'm new to this so what's the difference?

[06:17] <troubled> Flannel: I like how !rtfm is the trigger for that rule ;)
[06:17] <error404notfound> Flannel: and what's thet rtfm exatcly...
[06:17] <Flannel> lala_lala: This is #ubuntu, we have no idea how gOS installs, you really need to ask them.
[06:17] <remote> Flannel: i'm sorry but i will use this term over and over again
[06:17] <yerchin> :D
[06:17] <remote> Flannel: the answer is in the manual so he should read it
[06:17] <azfira> h
[06:17] <azfira> hiiiiiiiiiiiiii
[06:17] <Flannel> remote: Don't do it in this channel.
[06:18] <[jane]> thanks!
[06:19] <remote> Flannel: RTFM has been used for decades amongst geeks and only means to read the manual, it has no mean to be rude but to remind someone must read the manual instead of asking questions he can answer for himself
[06:19] <troubled> error404notfound: apt-get install bsdgames && wtf rtfm :)
[06:19] <itachi> hello
[06:19] <Flannel> remote: Yes, and it's not welcome in this channel.
[06:19] <remote> Flannel: I don't care.
[06:19] <itachi> help me!
[06:19] <remote> error404notfound: did you find the answer?
[06:20] <error404notfound> remote: I see.... well for RTFM, I would say WTF, I already read it, and asked here because there was a problem...

[06:23] <JonathanEllis> Hi. I am having trouble mounting some partitions. My fstab is http://pastebin.com/f71cf6642. When I try to mount this I get these errors http://pastebin.com/d664c7f2f. I have assigned volume labels to all the partitions using e2label, ntfslabel, and mkswap. Can anyone help, please?
[06:23] <troubled> WebGuest: try install grub to the second partition so its bootable?

[06:24] <NewFAQs> OK does anyone know how to install OPERA WEB BROWSER On UBuntu?
[06:24] <error404notfound> remote: tried to run the actual ssh, was running aliased one before, now creating a custom configFile for ssh for my users...
[06:24] <Flannel> !opera | NewFAQs
[06:24] <WebGuest> troubled, the second partition is 2 gigs only, It's running windows XP (I thnk), it is stripped down to the point of being unrecognizable
[06:24] <error404notfound> NewFAQs: would really appreciate if that caps lock is turned off...
[06:24] <troubled> WebGuest: install linux on it and put grub on it
[06:25] <doors981> pls help, printing from ubuntu to windows xp? steps on how to configure ubuntu to print to windows on a network is so easy but theres an error if i click very button
[06:25] <WebGuest> troubled: I would need to resize that partition
[06:25] <troubled> WebGuest: so if its /dev/hda2, then install grub to hda2
[06:25] <Flannel> !repeat | doors981
[06:25] <remote> error404notfound: it should read the global configuration file by default, i even tested on my system and it does work
[06:25] <egc> crashoverride
[06:25] <troubled> WebGuest: try gparted perhaps
[06:25] <error404notfound> remote: yes, and it also works on other machine, damn this install, must have screwed something up...
[06:25] <doors981> pls help ubottu: its been 3 days that i can't get it to print
[06:25] <WebGuest> troubled: I could easly resize it, just wondering how safe that would be.
[06:26] <egc> Burn!
[06:26] <error404notfound> remote: works with the userconfigFile... quick and easy solution..

[06:27] <egc> Flannel: not until i ask a question ;)
[06:27] <doors981> error: my problem is, i cant print from ubuntu to windows xp on a network
[06:27] <error404notfound> remote: don't ask me to check permissions, as permission are right, plus now I am not using any aliases ssh...
[06:27] <remote> hard to believe
[06:27] <error404notfound> doors981: does that windows system has a printer attached to it on usb or parallel? or is the printer directly over the network?
[06:28] <remote> then, type set -x in bash before executing ssh
[06:28] <troubled> error404notfound: whats the problem with ssh?
[06:28] <remote> troubled: scroll up
[06:28] <error404notfound> remote: I would say its quite impossible like situation, though I managed to fix with configFile

[06:29] <doors981> error: so theres nothing wrong with my printer and the sharing on windows
[06:29] <doors981> error:is there an additional step on windows for ubuntu to print?
[06:29] <SeaOfTea> I still think its something with my ubunut kerning because I'm doing everything I can in firefox and its still not fixing it
[06:29] <NewFAQs> Hmmmn i did what UButtu said to do, but can not find opera web broswer :(
[06:29] <error404notfound> doors981: ahan, I see... sorry, never using printing that way, what I dd was switch printer to ubuntu, install ubuntu, share printer, and then printer windows machine by mapping a network printer.... you are doing it he other way around..
[06:30] <JonathanEllis> Oh. It seems that pastebin,com has fallen over. I have a problem mounting some partitions. The details are at http://pastebin.ca/1260081.

[06:33] <NewFAQs> Ok i have added OPERA repository :) It is downloading something?
[06:34] <troubled> NewFAQs: how should we know?!
[06:34] <troubled> NewFAQs: try update your repo and install opera now?
[06:34] <Flannel> NewFAQs: once you add it, you have to reload your lists, either "reload" in synaptic, or sudo apt-get update, then you'll be able to see it.

[06:35] <troubled> if you don't have the pub key for the package from the package signer, yes
[06:35] <Flannel> NewFAQs: yes, because you haven't added the key to the opera repository to your keyring.
[06:35] <troubled> JonathanEllis: np, all good?

[06:37] <m1ndctrl> does anyone have experience with xinerama on ubuntu 8.10? I'm running two nvidia cards that work fine running as seperate X sessions however when I try to enable Xinerama and restart X it simply crashes, attempts to reload, crashes, etc.
[06:37] <JonathanEllis> troubled: Now when I type sudo mount -a it says mount: special device /dev/disk/by-label/Home does not exist but I am hoping thats because I am doing this on a running system so my home partition is already mounted. Only way to find out is to reboot once I have sorted out grubs menulist
[06:37] <troubled> m1ndctrl: check the log files for X yet?
[06:37] <NewFAQs> Wow when i go to add the key its telling me my PW Is now wrong
[06:38] <troubled> JonathanEllis: look around in /dev/disk/by-label/
[06:38] <troubled> JonathanEllis: I dont use that method to mount, so im not sure if it gets refresh immediately after labeling a partition
[06:38] <m1ndctrl> troubled: it says nothing specifically
[06:39] <m1ndctrl> troubled: the end of the log says : II) Screen 0 shares mem & io resources

[06:39] <navetz> it says it thinks i might have the wrong version of java
[06:39] <navetz> but i have the latest
[06:39] <JonathanEllis> troubled: There is no shorcut in ﻿/dev/disk/by-label/. I am hoping thats because the partition is already mounted
[06:40] <navetz> any ideas?
[06:40] <NewFAQs> XD
[06:40] <troubled> m1ndctrl: not sure if that sharing of mem & IO is a good though, but II suggests its informational :/

[06:41] <paul68> !isc > paul68
[06:41] <rohan> infact, i am on 8.04 and by installing that deb i might get flashplayer 10, when the one in repo is just 9.
[06:41] <troubled> JonathanEllis: a quick label on my rootfs isnt showing up immediately either. perhaps a reboot is needed
[06:41] <paul68> !ics > paul68
[06:42] <RinTinTigger> !ics > RinTinTigger
[06:43] <groken> please ding me if you can help. thanks!
[06:43] <troubled> JonathanEllis: I should mention that reboot may not work for you with errors :)
[06:44] <JonathanEllis> troubled: What do you mean "with errors"? What sort of errors? If I have something wrong I will boot on a livecd
[06:44] <NewFAQs> anyone can help with sound please?
[06:44] <troubled> JonathanEllis: ahh, long as you are prepared. if you depend on your fstab to mount your OS i mean and you have errors

[06:51] <troubled> m1ndctrl: perhaps paste your x config
[06:51] <troubled> RinTinTigger: just because you can see the file listing, doesnt mean you can read a cd though
[06:51] <damijit> hi, I just upgraded to intrepid, and apt-get doesn't seem to be working. Any package I try to get, it says "Could not find package '[name]'", even one's I'm SURE exist, like "flashplugin-nonfree". Any help?

[07:10] <NewFAQs> Package libflashsupport is not available, but is referred to by another package.
[07:10] <NewFAQs> This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
[07:10] <NewFAQs> is only available from another source
[07:10] <ikonia> Rainarrow: system->administration->login window or login manager
[07:10] <NewFAQs> i got an error on the libflashsupport install
[07:11] <ikonia> NewFAQs: what version of ubuntu are you on
[07:11] <Rainarrow> ikonia, ok thanks, I'll check that out

[07:11] <ikonia> NewFAQs: mostly down to you
[07:11] <milligan_> Does anyone here use jailkit ?

[07:12] <Rainarrow> ikonia, ok I found it, thx
[07:13] <Rainarrow> ikonia, so stupid I overlooked it
[07:13] <constantin_> anyone??
[07:13] <NewFAQs> ugh nope no sound on youtube.
[07:13] <constantin_> :(
[07:13] <NewFAQs> maybe i should reboot?
[07:13] <milligan_> constantin_, configure grub properly
[07:13] <UnknownUser56> Newfaq :pci sound card ?
[07:14] <NewFAQs> yes PCI i think,
[07:14] <NewFAQs> Yet it works on music on my hdd and in videos
[07:14] <Gnea> NewFAQs: maybe you should listen and stop trying to jump to conclusions.
[07:14] <NewFAQs> its only sound not working on the net
[07:14] <constantin_> how so
[07:14] <Gnea> NewFAQs: it makes it extremely difficult to help you out.
[07:15] <constantin_> i'm such a newbie to ubuntu milligan_ it isnt even funny
[07:15] <NewFAQs> sorry
[07:15] <constantin_> i'd be so grateful for someone to help me through this
[07:15]  * Gnea has never used ubuntu on a mac before
[07:15] <NewFAQs> constantin same XD I gave up on windows as it was eating itself lol
[07:15] <NewFAQs> it started to really annoy me vista wouldnt show my files etc so i deleted >:-)
[07:15] <troubled> constantin_: do you get a grub menu on startup?
[07:16] <ikonia> Rainarrow: no problem
[07:16] <navetz> is there a good p2p application in the repos?
[07:16] <binarymutant> navetz: what kind of p2p?
[07:17]  * NewFAQs reboots
[07:17] <NewFAQs> bbs xoxo
[07:17] <milligan_> constantin_, everyone needs to start somewhere. Nobody is elite by default ;) First of all, let's make sure grub is in fact your boot manager now. When you switch on your mac, does it show the text "loading grub..." or something similar to that ?
[07:17] <constantin_> yes
[07:17] <constantin_> troubled
[07:17] <constantin_> well..
[07:17] <Gnea> *facepalm*
[07:17] <constantin_> not exactly
[07:17] <FloodBot2> constantin_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[07:17] <navetz> binarymutant music
[07:17] <constantin_> i get grub something
[07:17] <constantin_> then it just loads into ubuntu
[07:17] <constantin_> not much of a menu unless i hit esc
[07:17] <troubled> constantin_: well, long as you get a grub boot, you could always add an option for OSX to your grub in /boot/grub/menu.lst
[07:17] <UnknownUser56> NewFAQs:if it's pci check your cards and find the module by GOOGLE and load it to the kernel
[07:18] <binarymutant> navetz: I mean do you want torrents? gnutella like limewire? or rapidshare...there a bunch of ways to get what you want from the net
[07:18] <Gnea> UnknownUser56: he already rebooted
[07:18] <Conexion> Hey there, I'd like to configure my Button 9 on my mouse to be the 'back' button, but can't seem to figure out how to map in in xorg
[07:18] <constantin_> i'm going to try and follow this troubled: http://www.linuxmigration.com/quickref/kernel/grub.htm
[07:18] <constantin_> do you think that will work?
[07:18] <ikonia> constantin_: whats the actual problem
[07:19] <Conexion> ikonia: I press button 9, nothing happens... I'd like to make it so it is a 'back' button (alt + left)
[07:19] <troubled> constantin_: just look at your grub menu for the example for windows
[07:19] <ikonia> Conexion: I aked constantin_
[07:19] <Conexion> lol, I guess wrong person
[07:19] <ikonia> Conexion: no problem
[07:19] <constantin_> the actual problem
[07:19] <Gnea> ikonia: he's trying to dual-boot OSX and Ubuntu and a program he was running hijacked the system and now his OSX doesn't show up as a selection in grub, and his OSX cd won't boot either
[07:19] <constantin_> is i cant get into OS X anymore
[07:20] <milligan_> constantin_, as troubled said .. since grub is your boot manager, it's fairly trivial to add an option to boot OSX. You could also check /dev/ for sd* or hd* to identify which partition of the harddrive has osx.
[07:20] <constantin_> when i ran the first command from that site i sent i didnt get grub being installed
[07:20] <ikonia> Gnea: you can't boot OS X from grub
[07:20] <Gnea> oh my
[07:20] <ivanoff> подскажите как в скрипте задержку сделать, что бы команда выполнилась с задержкой в 5 секунд после предыдущей ?
[07:20] <troubled> constantin_: you already have grub
[07:20] <Conexion> So any idea how to map button 9 to the 'back' button?
[07:20] <troubled> !ru | ivanoff
[07:20] <navetz> binarymutant: limewire
[07:21] <constantin_> so what do i need to do ikonia if i cant use grub?
[07:21] <navetz> binarymutant: i was using frostwire but its not in the repos anymore
[07:21] <NewFAQs> >.>
[07:21] <NewFAQs> NetFaq?
[07:21] <NewFAQs> :D
[07:21] <troubled> ikonia: you can't?
[07:21] <NewFAQs> Nah - Its NEWFAGS
[07:21] <ikonia> troubled: pretty sure you don't
[07:21] <troubled> what kind of sillyness is that?
[07:21] <ikonia> he's know - ignore it please
[07:21] <troubled> no, I meant OSX+grub sillyness
[07:21] <troubled> :)
[07:22] <binarymutant> navetz: gtk-gnutella and kmldonkey might be what you are looking for
[07:22] <navetz> binarymutant: k thnx
[07:22] <binarymutant> np
[07:22] <troubled> ikonia: dont use OSX myself, but you figure you could just boot the partition or volume or whatever they call it via grub
[07:22] <constantin_> i feel like i may have messed something up by deleting EFI from OS X because i can't get it to boot from the OS X install cd either
[07:23] <troubled> isnt EFI your bios on a mac?!
[07:23] <Diazepam> hey can anyone tell me how you stop a kernel or package from being autoupdated - how do you hold a package or set of packages to the current version?
[07:23] <constantin_> is it? fuck
[07:23] <H__> Diazepam 1 moment
[07:23] <ikonia> troubled: correct
[07:23] <troubled> just trying to figure out how you can "delete" it
[07:23] <ikonia> Conexion: mind your language
[07:23] <constantin_> on the uninstall for rEFIt they were like now you can delete the figure
[07:23] <constantin_> folder*
[07:23] <Conexion> lawl
[07:23] <constantin_> oh god
[07:24] <constantin_> well its in the recycle bin on my mac
[07:24] <binarymutant> Diazepam: if you right click on the package, in synaptic, you can 'lock version'
[07:24] <Conexion> People keep talking to me, when they mean constantin_ :P
[07:24] <Gnea> constantin_: we try to refrain from such language in here - understood that you're frustrated, but please try not to do that again :)
[07:24] <constantin_> and i can mount that partition
[07:24] <H__> Diazepam like this : echo toHoldPackageName hold | dpkg --set-selections
[07:24] <troubled> constantin_: google for "restore efi" perhaps?
[07:24] <H__> Diazepam see also http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/reference/ch-system.en.html
[07:24] <Diazepam> binarymutant : i dont use synaptic but thanks for the heads up
[07:24] <constantin_> wow no blasphemy haha
[07:24] <Diazepam> H_: ahh okay
[07:25] <mustinet> small womens
[07:25] <mustinet> :)
[07:25] <SeaOfTea> Is there any way to download a package and install even if a dependent package is missing?
[07:25] <Gnea> mustinet: what?
[07:25] <Diazepam> H_ so $ sudo echo samba3.0.2.foo.bar hold | dpkg --set-selections
[07:26] <Diazepam> does aptitude have an inbuilt command also?
[07:26] <troubled> SeaOfTea: try equivs perhaps to fake a missing dep?
[07:27] <H__> Diazepam maybe replace samba3.0.2.foo.bar with just samba
[07:27] <Diazepam> H_ okay so you dont have to be package specific?
[07:27] <constantin_> this is really broken
[07:28] <constantin_> no luck with the EFI restore
[07:28] <SeaOfTea> testign
[07:28] <troubled> constantin_: sorry, dont know a thing about mac's, so no idea how to restore that sucker
[07:28] <SeaOfTea> testing
[07:28] <troubled> SeaOfTea: fail!
[07:28] <SeaOfTea> hmm, google is failing
[07:28] <constantin_> well could you help me load up the partition in grub?
[07:29] <constantin_> or some how be able to boot my os x install cd from ubuntu
[07:29] <troubled> SeaOfTea: didn't anyone tell you? google is closed for the night ;)
[07:29] <UnknownUser56> constantin_:set bios to boot from your cd first
[07:29] <Conexion> so.... googling "button mapping ubuntu" doesn't seem to have answers.... and nobody in this chat seems to know anything.... how do I map my "Button 9" to act as the back button?
[07:30] <konglingyun> #ubuntu-cn
[07:31] <season> ?
[07:31] <troubled> constantin_: can you not install refit in ubuntu?
[07:31] <troubled> refit - graphical bootloader for EFI-based ia32 systems
[07:31] <constantin_> i installed the deb
[07:31] <constantin_> and it does nothing
[07:32] <constantin_> i get a gray screen when i reboot
[07:32] <constantin_> and then after about 40 seconds it boots into ubuntu
[07:32] <troubled> did you set it up properly though?
[07:32] <constantin_> no idea
[07:32] <constantin_> it was an installer through aptitude i think
[07:32] <constantin_> so i doubt i did
[07:32] <H__> Diazepam afaik the name needs to be a generic name, wildcard like
[07:32] <troubled> try the manpage on it, you probably just have a blank config or something
[07:33] <jj_galvez> could someone verify that www.getdeb.net is down? I can't seem to be able to get on the sebsite
[07:34] <UnknownUser56> j_galvez:down
[07:34] <troubled> constantin_: try: dpkg -L refit
[07:34] <season> how many people!
[07:34] <jj_galvez> UnknownUser56: thanks
[07:34] <troubled> constantin_: look around at some of the files listed for stuff
[07:34] <constantin_> okay
[07:35] <troubled> constantin_: many packages contain sample configs in /usr/share/doc/<pkgname> that might help
[07:35] <season> who can speak chines
[07:35] <constantin_> i see it
[07:35] <season> 嘻嘻
[07:35] <Conexion> I can't stand how inconsistent this chat room is for support
[07:35] <constantin_> usr/share/man
[07:36] <troubled> season: neat, whats that mean?
[07:38] <constantin_> gahh that didnt work
[07:38] <Jordan_U> constantin_: Why can't you install from OSX?
[07:38] <constantin_> the cd wont load
[07:38] <constantin_> i can't get into OS X
[07:38] <constantin_> from the partition
[07:38] <troubled> Jordan_U: he deleted refit from OSX and lost ability to boot it
[07:38] <Mohammad[B]> i need a portable text-based irc client
[07:39] <Jordan_U> Conexion: You can always buy support from canonical :)
[07:39] <constantin_> okay troubled so what do i need to do here
[07:39] <bazhang> constantin_, is this an apple computer
[07:39] <Icchy> Mohammad[B]: irssi
[07:39] <Jordan_U> troubled: Lost the ability to boot OSX?
[07:39] <constantin_> yea
[07:39] <constantin_> macbook
[07:39] <troubled> Jordan_U: yes, aparently
[07:39] <Jordan_U> constantin_: Did you try holding down option at boot?
[07:39] <bazhang> constantin_, then hold down the c key when you boot from the cd
[07:39] <constantin_> yes
[07:39] <constantin_> neither work
[07:39] <bazhang> constantin_, both of those work
[07:40] <Jordan_U> constantin_: Holding down c should always work
[07:40] <bazhang> on apple computers
[07:40] <constantin_> i tried
[07:40] <Mohammad[B]> Icchy, i said portable ... this means i don't want to install it, i want to run it
[07:40] <constantin_> i just have a gray screen
[07:40] <constantin_> then grub loads
[07:40] <Icchy> right
[07:40] <Icchy> hmm
[07:40] <Jordan_U> constantin_: Does your keyboard work?
[07:40] <troubled> Mohammad[B]: pick one and compile it statically
[07:40] <mustinet_> how to listen radio station without media player
[07:40] <constantin_> it would seem like it is from my typing to you
[07:41] <Conexion> Jordan_U: As tempting as that is, I don't think it is worth paying money for something that should be as easy as opening up a menu to do. I'll program a work-around myself before buying support for something that should be built into Ubuntu
[07:41] <mustinet_> radio station use Media player cast
[07:41] <troubled> mustinet_: vlc works in cli
[07:41] <binarymutant> anyone ever used dvtm? whats the modkey default to?
[07:41] <Mohammad[B]> troubled, hmm?
[07:41] <troubled> mustinet_: well, if its wmp, you might be SOL for vlc then, sorry
[07:41] <Conexion> Jordan_U: I do appreciate the help though
[07:41] <bazhang> constantin_, which make and model of mac, and which version of ubuntu
[07:41] <constantin_> macbook
[07:41] <constantin_> newest one
[07:41] <constantin_> ubuntu 8.10
[07:42] <bazhang> constantin_, read the macbook wiki
[07:42] <Conexion> I just assumed there would be people here who knew as much about Linux and Ubuntu as I do about Windows
[07:42] <troubled> Mohammad[B]: try compile a client you like statically. may not work for everything if it looks in specific spots for certain files though
[07:42] <mustinet_> troubled: thank now trying
[07:42] <Jordan_U> constantin_: Can you boot into target disk mode?
[07:42] <Kartagis> !jp
[07:43] <constantin_> i can't get anything to happen besides boot into ubuntu
[07:43] <constantin_> i just have a gray screen no matter whati do
[07:43] <troubled> constantin_: perfect! you're done. ;)
[07:43] <constantin_> with nothing on it
[07:43] <ikonia> constantin_: I'm pretty certain you can't boot mac os direct from grub
[07:43] <constantin_> hah
[07:43] <constantin_> i wish
[07:43] <zeno___> what is the best way to move a large (3tb) ammount of data over wireless?  just for f in movestuff/* (60k ish dirs); scp f destination
[07:43] <Jordan_U> constantin_: Have you tried holding down "t" at boot?
[07:43] <bazhang> constantin_, grub?
[07:43] <zeno___> ?
[07:43] <constantin_> i can try
[07:44] <constantin_> i kind of doubt it will work
[07:44] <ikonia> bazhang yes he's trying to boot it from grub
[07:44] <troubled> zeno___: i'd say use the scp recursive options
[07:44] <constantin_> is there a chance some video setting could be screwed up on the boot?
[07:44] <Jordan_U> constantin_: You can only boot OSX from the EFI version of grub2
[07:44] <constantin_> like is it supposed to be gray?
[07:44] <Omitt> After a year and a half of using linux, I finally found out how to open text files in terminal.
[07:44] <ikonia> constantin_: are you listening ?
[07:44] <Jordan_U> constantin_: Or elilo
[07:44] <Omitt> I'd say I'm an expert now.
[07:44] <troubled> zeno___: better yet, rsync+ssh is better for resuming if stuff goes south
[07:44] <constantin_> yes ikonia
[07:44] <troubled> Omitt: welcome to the club :)
[07:44] <constantin_> what do you suggest i do
[07:44] <Icchy> Omitt: how? :-D
[07:45] <Diazepam> H_ so how do you hold back the kernel
[07:45] <Omitt> Heh, I got a virus the other day, and I figured I should actually learn how linux works.
[07:45] <Diazepam> H_ i have an eee 1000 that I want to hold back a kernel
[07:45] <qinglange1> hello
[07:45] <Omitt> I'm just backing up a few files before I re-instally.
[07:45] <ikonia> constantin_: which model mac is it ?
[07:45] <qinglange1> test
[07:45] <troubled> Omitt: its not bad once you realise how intelligently *nix systems are designed
[07:45] <Burt> Yo, is there a command I can run to turn off my laptop monitor? I need to leave on my PC overnight, and I dont want it to suspend, shutdown, etc. ****BUT*** I don't want to leave the screen on all night
[07:45] <Omitt> I have come here once before but I forgot to thank the fellow who helped me.
[07:46] <Icchy> Omitt: u sure u cant remove the virus with clamAV or something so u dont need to re-install?
[07:46] <Jordan_U> constantin_: Sorry to have you reboot again but have you tried holding down "T" specifically?
[07:46] <constantin_> macbook 4.1
[07:46] <zeno___> troubled ok ill try, thx
[07:46] <troubled> Burt: force DPMS?
[07:46] <Omitt> Troubled, I think my main problem was not keeping contact with the community.
[07:46] <ikonia> constantin_: which on is that
[07:46] <bazhang> constantin_, where did you get the mac CD?
[07:46] <constantin_> what does target disk mode do
[07:46] <ikonia> one
[07:46] <constantin_> it's the one that came with the laptop
[07:46] <jj_galvez> Omitt: what virus did you get?
[07:46] <Jordan_U> Burt: System -> Preferences -> Power Management
[07:46] <troubled> Omitt: but there are so many communities!
[07:46] <Burt> troubled,  Hmmm... is that a command? ^^;; what is DPMS?
[07:46] <ikonia> constantin_: can you access the bios ?
[07:46] <constantin_> i wouldnt know how to if i wanted to
[07:46] <Omitt> jj_galvez, It was the clams virus scanner virus I believe.
[07:47] <troubled> Burt: simple terms, DPMS = screen blank at hardware level
[07:47] <qinglange1> once more
[07:47] <Omitt> I can't be sure because I stopped being able to download updates before I could figure out how to unpack another bit of software to look
[07:47] <zeno___> my drive fails to mount, its an ext3 partition, but gparted reports it as fat16.  how do i fix this, or is the drive toast?
[07:47] <Burt> Jordan_U,  yes I know, but my program prevents power management so the screen will not turn off after 11 mins
[07:47] <Jordan_U> constantin_: It basically turns your laptop into a firewire drive
[07:47] <ikonia> constantin_: how did you get the mac to boot the ubuntu install cd ?
[07:47] <jj_galvez> Omitt: Clams is virus scanning software is there really a virus called that? how did you detect it?
[07:47] <troubled> Burt: someone earlier mentioned: xset dpms force off
[07:47] <bazhang> constantin_, either c, t, or option work on Mac computers; if they do not for you then it is a serious hardware problem
[07:47] <constantin_> i had rEFIt on then
[07:48] <Jordan_U> Burt: What program, how does it prevent power management?
[07:48] <Omitt> Good experience though. I have my files, and I'm much wiser to key loggers being turned on every five seconds. lol
[07:48] <ikonia> constantin_: refit doesn't boot the cd for you though does it ?
[07:48] <constantin_> actually it does
[07:48] <constantin_> well i dont think its refit
[07:48] <constantin_> i screwed up ubuntu too though
[07:48] <constantin_> and i was able to reinstall it
[07:48] <ikonia> constantin_: can you boot ubuntu ?
[07:48] <constantin_> using the live cd
[07:48] <constantin_> yea im in it now
[07:49] <FloodBot2> constantin_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[07:49] <bazhang> constantin_, you are ubuntu with the mac right now? then paste.ubuntu.com with lspci
[07:49] <Burt> troubled, Cool! Ran xset --help and saw what it does. Thank you very much!
[07:49] <Jordan_U> constantin_: How did you boot the livecd?
[07:49] <Burt> Jordan_U, Transmission?
[07:49] <troubled> Burt: np, thank coldboot for that one :)
[07:49] <constantin_> it booted automatically when it was in
[07:49] <constantin_> but it spits out my os x cd
[07:49] <constantin_> maybe i screwed with the swap partition for it or something
[07:49] <ikonia> constantin_: pastebin lspci into a passtebin please
[07:50] <ikonia> !pastebin | constantin_
[07:50] <constantin_> okay so what do you want me to do exactly with pastebin
[07:50] <troubled> ikonia: see notice window :)
[07:50] <ikonia> constantin_: put the output of the lspci command
[07:50] <constantin_> ok
[07:51] <bazhang> paste.ubuntu.com with the terminal command lspci constantin_
[07:51] <bazhang> constantin_, and then give us the url
[07:51] <constantin_> http://paste.ubuntu.com/73732/
[07:53] <Styles> I made these edits with "vi" and idk how to save it :(
[07:53] <Styles> to a file

[07:53] <Styles> like press :wq?
[07:53] <Styles> how do you get it so you can type?
[07:53] <troubled> ya, soon as you hit :, it starts a command mode
[07:53] <troubled> w means write, q means quit
[07:54] <troubled> hit "i" to get into type mode or "insert" mode
[07:54] <Styles> troubled it writes : instead
[07:54] <Styles> o ok
[07:54] <Styles> pressing insert does REPLACE or INSERT
[07:54] <troubled> when you are ready to go back to command mode, hit esc once
[07:54] <Styles> ahh
[07:54] <Styles> i got it
[07:54] <Styles> thx
[07:54] <troubled> that works too. but dont use replace mode as it overwrites existing text
[07:54] <troubled> np
[07:54] <ikonia> troubled: this is one of the latest macbooks yes ?
[07:55] <bazhang> constantin_, is this a macbook air?
[07:55] <troubled> ikonia: well, i dont recognize any of the model names, so Im guessing mac. I never used em so I dont know
[07:55] <constantin_> no

[07:55] <Marupa>  Hi everyone, I have ubuntu 8.10 and ndiswrapper version 1.9 (I think), using a USB wifi device that has a chipset of sis163.  When I modprobe ndiswrapper it says ndiswrapper module not found.
[07:56] <troubled> constantin_: dont you have a manual that explains how to force boot the cdrom or something since "c" didnt work?
[07:56] <yerchin> Hey guys, how do I run DVD ROMs under ubuntu?
[07:56] <ikonia> !dvd> yerchin
[07:57] <ikonia> troubled: if you can't boot from a cd by pressing C at boot time - you have a hardware problem
[07:57] <ikonia> troubled: more so if you can't boot of the mac cd
[07:57] <constantin_> c is the forceboot
[07:57] <ikonia> troubled: take it back to your vender
[07:57] <ikonia> vendor
[07:57] <troubled> ikonia: good to know, thanks for the tip :)
[07:57] <Marupa> Any suggestions for my wifi issue?
[07:58] <Balachmar> How can I completely clear the local cache of evolution?
[07:58] <constantin_> hmm i wonder if having ubuntu on my mac voids any warranty
[07:58] <ssorel> hi
[07:58] <Polysics> hi all
[07:58] <Styles> Hey why wouldn't a process run ?
[07:58] <Icchy> hi
[07:58] <Styles> ./murmur.x86 -ini murmur.ini -fg -supw password
[07:58] <constantin_> well thanks guys
[07:58] <Styles> theres no out put or anything
[07:58] <baschtwork> Mornin' folks.
[07:58] <Kartagis> what is the switch to tell genisoimage not to truncate filenames?
[07:58] <Polysics> let's say i get a virtual server to host my sites: how do i manage email?
[07:59] <constantin_> i'll mess around a bit more
[07:59] <ikonia> constantin_: no
[07:59] <troubled> Styles: try strace it?
[07:59] <Polysics> i have a coupel dozen addresses spread around 10 or so domains, and many are the same username (ie. inof@)
[07:59] <Polysics> *info@
[07:59] <ssorel> fist it.
[07:59] <bluebuntu> do you help with program "replacements" like gimp for photoshop? or is this Ubuntu only questions?
[07:59] <UnknownUser56> A quick question is there a space in the proper 'chainloader +1'  ?
[07:59] <ikonia> Polysics: use what ever you want, multiple email client accounts, domain forwarding to a single account etc etc
[07:59] <UnknownUser56> or just chainloader+1 ?
[08:00] <Polysics> i don't really care about having a "pretty" interface
[08:00] <Styles> troubled strace? O.0
[08:00] <Styles> what?
[08:00] <Styles> haha
[08:00] <Polysics> ikonia, what am i googling for? :-)
[08:00] <Polysics> i'd like something like "virtual" addresses
[08:00] <l3d> ok with k3b do I really have to change the mp3 to wav before bburn? or will it burn mp3 and I am missing a codec or something
[08:00] <mustinet_> how listen this link ? http://www.yayinonline.com/asx/radyoplayer.asp?rd=alemfm
[08:00] <troubled> Styles: should give you an idea of what its trying to do, and possibly why its failing if the program isnt giving you any verbosity/debug output
[08:00] <mustinet_> i'm install vlc
[08:00] <Styles> troubled it saids exec: Exec format error
[08:00] <Polysics> oh, and another thing: do i need/it is better to run my own DNS?
[08:01] <bluebuntu> what is a good replacement program for Rosetta Stone?
[08:01] <troubled> mustinet_: did it work? try: vlc http://....../
[08:01] <ikonia> Polysics: do you have a question or are you just talking
[08:01] <baschtwork> Is it possible to have gvfs shares mounted automatically on login? I mean, without hacking my passwords to /etc/fstab ?
[08:01] <troubled> Styles: try: file /path/to/file
[08:01] <Marupa> bluebuntu, if you need gimp help I can try, if you want to PM me.
[08:01] <Polysics> ikonia, both are questions :-)
[08:01] <Styles> troubled ahh the file was croupt for some reason :P
[08:01] <bluebuntu> no I need a language learning program like Rosetta Stone
[08:01] <troubled> Styles: there ya go then ;)
[08:01] <Polysics> i've never managed mail or DNS
[08:02] <ikonia> Polysics: so what is your questions ?
[08:02] <bluebuntu> I know Gimp I use it in Windows at work moreso than Photoshop anymore
[08:02] <Marupa> bluebuntu, install rosetta stone under ubuntu using WINE?
[08:02] <bluebuntu> wine crashes out when I get to a certain point
[08:02] <Polysics> ikonia, 1) what am i looking for if i say that i need a mail server with virtual mailbox server?
[08:02] <troubled> Polysics: i would advise against your own DNS unless its internally only
[08:02] <mustinet_> troubled: not playing in vlc this link
[08:02] <bluebuntu> when I get to writing comprehension
[08:02] <Marupa> might want to take up that error in the WINE channel then.
[08:02] <bluebuntu> it just dies
[08:02] <mustinet_> i try netrwork open and paste link
[08:02] <troubled> mustinet_: its a WMV file I assume?
[08:02] <Polysics> 2) do i need my own DNS on that machine or can i use the domain provider's?
[08:03] <Marupa> Any suggestions for my wifi issue?
[08:03] <ikonia> Polysics: you want a virtual mail service intergrated into a mail server such as postfix or exim, a virtual service suh as vexim, or postfixadmin would work
[08:03] <darkbishop> i think my display dont have any driver.what should i do????
[08:03] <troubled> Polysics: use the providers if they provide that service
[08:03] <bluebuntu> ahh ty so there is no Linux program supplement for learning a language?
[08:03] <Kartagis> baschtwork, //server/share /mnt/share fshere credentials=/root/.share 0 1
[08:03] <ikonia> Polysics: use the domain providers, dns is not to be messed with and if you running this on a home connection don't even look at it
[08:03] <mustinet_> :s
[08:03] <Polysics> ikonia, it's going to be a Linode VPS
[08:03] <jj_galvez> question about the new networkmanager applet, it was not showing so I googled and it was recommended that I delete the contents of my interfaces file, which I did.  However now I don't get an internet connection untill I actually log into the GUI.
[08:03] <ikonia> Polysics: use your isps
[08:03] <bluebuntu> I should make a FOSS language learning program and ask everyone who knows their native language to chip in
[08:03] <ikonia> Polysics: they will run them better than you
[08:04] <Polysics> for mail server, i will google postfix + postfixadmin - thanks, i just needed to know WHAT i was looking for :-)
[08:04] <Polysics> i'll also ask in #postfix
[08:04] <konglingyun> #ubuntu-cn
[08:04] <baschtwork> Kartagis: yep, I thought about it - but I need it on a workstation thats authenticating against an active directory, so every user needs his personal shares - I don't want to hack that into the fstab on 8 computers. ;)
[08:05] <bluebuntu> actually I am going to make it since it doesn't yet exist since wine has issues
[08:05] <troubled> baschtwork: btw, pam can do stuff like auto mount shares on login
[08:05] <konglingyun> mcrypt < file >  file.enc?

[08:07] <baschtwork> troubled: I just thought it would be cool for the users to have that fancy buttons in nautilus, that appear when you mount it via gvfs.. :)

[08:09] <darkbishop> Question:i think my display dont have any driver.what should i do????
[08:09] <erbi> who uses the nvidia 177.8X ?
[08:09] <konglingyun> troubled  wo jie bu kai wo de mi ma
[08:09] <ikonia> erbi: most people with nvidia cards
[08:09] <troubled> konglingyun: english?
[08:10] <erbi> im having problems setting it up
[08:10] <ikonia> erbi: your not using the version from the ubuntu repos ?
[08:10] <erbi> i think i have multiple nvidia  drivers
[08:10] <erbi> Checking for Composite extension: present.
[08:10] <erbi> Error: API mismatch: the NVIDIA kernel module has version 177.80,
[08:10] <erbi> but this NVIDIA driver component has version 177.82.  Please make
[08:10] <erbi> sure that the kernel module and all NVIDIA driver components
[08:10] <erbi> have the same version.
[08:10] <FloodBot2> erbi: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[08:10] <ikonia> erbi: what was wrong with the drivers from system -> administration -> hardware drivers card
[08:10] <Polysics> baschtwork, i always end up going back to human, it's not pretty but works
[08:11] <konglingyun> troubled    buhui shuo ying yu
[08:11] <erbi> the thing is
[08:11] <ikonia> konglingyun: please speak english
[08:11] <erbi> i do not wish to use the system->administration->hardware drivers settings
[08:11] <ikonia> erbi: why
[08:11] <erbi> thats the restricted NVIDIA driver correct ?
[08:11] <baschtwork> Politics: Why? I never came back from Human... :)
[08:11] <troubled> konglingyun: mcrypt -d < file.enc > file.dec
[08:11] <ikonia> erbi: correct
[08:11] <darkbishop> ikonia:nothing there
[08:11] <erbi> it installs 177.80
[08:11] <nathan362> hello, can anyone please tell me, where does MAIL command stores configuration like smtp/pop3 servers and credentials ?
[08:11] <ikonia> darkbishop: where ?
[08:11] <erbi> as i wish to install 177.82
[08:11] <Politics> I do believe you don't mean me.
[08:11] <ikonia> erbi: why do you not wish to use that
[08:11] <baschtwork> s/from/to
[08:12] <ikonia> erbi: what do you want in .82
[08:12] <konglingyun> thank you
[08:12] <darkbishop> ikonia:hardware driver
[08:12] <konglingyun> troubled  thank you
[08:12] <troubled> konglingyun: welcome
[08:12] <ikonia> darkbishop: do you have an nvidia card ?
[08:12] <troubled> konglingyun: mcrypt --help | less  ;)
[08:12] <darkbishop> dont know.
[08:12] <ikonia> darkbishop: that why there is nothing in that box
[08:12] <erbi> the resume function
[08:12] <erbi> on my thinkpad
[08:13] <erbi> Fixed a problem on recent mobile GPUs that caused a power management resume from S3 to take 30+ seconds.
[08:13] <darkbishop> ikonia: so the hardware driver is for nvidia only?
[08:13] <erbi> that fux
[08:13] <erbi> fix *
[08:13] <ikonia> erbi: I'll be blunt, if you've got multiple versions of the nvidia modules on your system, your in trouble, it's a pain to clean up
[08:13] <ikonia> darkbishop: for restricted (closed source) drivers only
[08:14] <ikonia> erbi: if your installing nvidia drivers from an exernal source you need to be careful and undersand what your doing and what it effects
[08:14] <mustinet_> yeah: yeah
[08:14] <ikonia> mustinet_: ?
[08:14] <darkbishop> ikonia:  is there anyway that i can do to figure out what display card do i use without openning the box?
[08:15] <ikonia> darkbishop: lspci
[08:15] <Sektor> Hi, I have a programming question about libraries in linux, don't know is this is the place to ask but I'll give it a go
[08:15] <mustinet_> ikonia:  i want listen radio station but radio station make a WMP cast
[08:15] <demonspork> Sektor try #linux or a channel specific to the language as well as this channel
[08:15] <troubled> mustinet_: doesnt media player support WMV via plugin?
[08:16] <Sektor> when you're creating shared libraries with libtool, and you have multiple shared libraries linking to the same (thirdparty) static lib, will the static vars and such be duplicated for each shared library?
[08:16] <Sektor> demonspork, thanks
[08:16] <nathan362> hello, can anyone please tell me, where does MAIL command stores configuration like smtp/pop3 servers and credentials ?
[08:16] <troubled> Sektor: try objtool on it and look?
[08:16] <Omitt> I was wondering if anyone knows a considerable amount about viruses.  I'm rather tempted to try to do an install from my hard drive rather than digging up a CD or downloading it.
[08:16] <Omitt> Is that a risk?
[08:17] <Sektor> troubled, do you suggest looking into the shared libraries or looking into the executable linked to the shared libraries?
[08:17] <troubled> Sektor: sorry, objdump heh
[08:17] <troubled> Sektor: or do you mean the output of ldd to see if anything is duped?
[08:17] <constantin_> well
[08:17] <constantin_> it's all better now
[08:18] <erbi> ikonia: if i use the restricted drivers, does it suppose 3D as well as 2D hardware acceleration?
[08:18] <constantin_> got into os x reinstalled rEFIt
[08:18] <constantin_> and now i'm dual booting
[08:18] <Wicked> whats a good calender?
[08:18] <Wicked> !calander
[08:18] <constantin_> now i just want to figure out how to keep ubuntu from randomly clicking the mouse for me
[08:18] <troubled> Wicked: sunbird?
[08:18] <Sektor> troubled, say I have a foo.exe linking to two shared libraries sh1.la and sh2.la, and both sh1 and sh2 link to some library st1.a that contains a global var int g_var;, my question is then, how many instances of g_var will my program contain
[08:18] <Omitt> Canstantin, Are you on a laptop?
[08:18] <[c0re]> hello i need help
[08:18] <Wicked> troubled, hmm ok. ill take a look at that
[08:18] <constantin_> yes
[08:19] <Omitt> It might be that annoying preference where it clicks if you tap the mouse pad
[08:19] <troubled> Sektor: I would assume only one, but thats a guess really
[08:19] <[c0re]> i cant change seasons.... i wanna log in to kde
[08:19] <Omitt> Go to preferences or system preferences, and check your mouse settings.
[08:19] <constantin_> oh maybe
[08:19] <Omitt> I find it as annoying as hell
[08:19] <constantin_> but i can't right click if i turn that off
[08:19] <Omitt> What?
[08:19] <Omitt> Why?
[08:19] <constantin_> bc you have to do a 3 fingered tap to right click
[08:19] <troubled> Sektor: I would assum only linking st1.a once
[08:19] <[c0re]> i cant change seasons.... i wanna log in to kde
[08:19] <constantin_> really dumb configuration
[08:20] <Omitt> I tend to use control in situations like that, but agreed, that is dumb not to give people that option.
[08:20] <deever> hi
[08:20] <Omitt> I was fiddling around with some software that allowed you to edit settings in other apps.
[08:20] <Sektor> troubled, any pointers as to figuring it out? I tried explaining it to google, but he doesn't get it at all
[08:20] <zezu>  generic kernel is just optimized for p2/ppro isn't it ?
[08:20] <deever> http://rafb.net/p/mBAHf919.html
[08:20] <troubled> Sektor: the only time I think you would have scope issues is if both your lib's had the same var name
[08:20] <constantin_> ctrl click doesnt work on ubuntu by default does it?
[08:20] <andre_pl> does anyone know how I can configure my display to blank when I close my lid? currently it stays on... and I dont seem to have and 'power settings' in my menu anywhere.
[08:20] <troubled> Sektor: ask the #c guys
[08:20] <Omitt> I gave you some features that are not built in.  Who knows, it might mess it up worse, it could be your solution. Can't remember the name tho..
[08:20] <Sektor> troubled, allright, muchos gratias
[08:20] <deever> how can i apt make accept the local repo?
[08:20] <troubled> Sektor: gl
[08:20] <constantin_> i'd love for ctrl click to be right click instead of this 3 finger garbage
[08:21] <troubled> Sektor: let me know though for future questions if you would be so kind :)
[08:21] <Omitt> Constatin, You might almost say it's obscene.
[08:21] <Sektor> troubled, of course :-)
[08:21] <[c0re]> hey can anyone help me with change season on login screen
[08:21] <troubled> XD
[08:21] <troubled> season?
[08:21] <constantin_> omitt do you have a mac?
[08:21] <Omitt> See, I was adjusting the prefs on my dad's laptop, and when you go to the control panel, they have a hand which seems to really be enjoying caressing a mouse pad
[08:21] <troubled> [c0re]: oh, you mean gdm/kdm?
[08:21] <Omitt> It's a really obtrusive video, very big and colorful
[08:21] <Frogzoo> andre_pl: sys -> prefs -> power
[08:21] <Omitt> Yech
[08:22] <[c0re]> troubled,  maybe
[08:22] <[c0re]> yes
[08:22] <andre_pl> Frogzoo: thats what I thought, but its not there
[08:22] <erbi> hey
[08:22] <snifer> hey guys i got a weird question, i updated my firefox to the latest but how come when i log on 2 hotmail it keeps telling me i need 2 update my firefox to the latest version??
[08:22] <troubled> [c0re]: when you are logged in, there should be a menu option to set all the display manage stuff like themes, colors etc
[08:22] <[c0re]> troubled, can you help me with it?
[08:22] <troubled> [c0re]: unfortunately, I dont have a ubuntu running in front of me to give you exact directions though, sorry
[08:22] <erbi> should i use open source 3D acceleration for my nvidia card or use the restricted drivers for my nvidia card?
[08:23] <Busata> hello, when I connect to my home machine with ssh, I can read(irssi) fine for a long time. But everytime I want to type something, it'll disconnect on me
[08:23] <Frogzoo> andre_pl: does /proc/acpi exist?
[08:23] <[c0re]> troubled, i cant login to kde...
[08:23] <slap_stick> hey guys, what is the difference between insmod and modprobe?
[08:23] <troubled> [c0re]: why not?
[08:23] <kernando> how can i amke it so when i click on a link in x-chat it will open up in my web browser?
[08:23] <troubled> slap_stick: modprobe insmod's dependencies as well
[08:23] <slap_stick> they both say they add modules to the kernel, i tried to insmod a kernel module and got an error so i modprobe'd it instead and it loaded
[08:24] <Frogzoo> slap_stick: insmod inserts a binary file, modprobe searches standard paths
[08:24] <andre_pl> Frogzoo: yep
[08:24] <[c0re]> troubled, i dont know.. if i change the season its still login to gnome.
[08:24] <itachi> oke can you help me?
[08:24] <slap_stick> why would one wortk and not the other?
[08:24] <slap_stick> work*
[08:24] <constantin_> troubled: thanks for your help earlier
[08:24] <[c0re]> troubled, i dont know.. if i change the season to the kde its still login to gnome.
[08:24] <troubled> constantin_: np. get it figured?
[08:24] <constantin_> yea
[08:24] <Frogzoo> andre_pl: /proc/acpi/button/lid/LID0/state ?
[08:24] <constantin_> dual booting as we speak
[08:24] <troubled> [c0re]: season or "session"?
[08:25] <[c0re]> session
[08:25] <troubled> ah :)
[08:25] <troubled> [c0re]: do you have kde installed?
[08:25] <[c0re]> yes
[08:25] <[c0re]> i can see kde on session
[08:25] <troubled> [c0re]: are you sure you didnt just install kdm?
[08:25] <andre_pl> Frogzoo: open
[08:25] <Omitt> I'm seriously tempted to just go to Damn Small Linux
[08:25] <slap_stick> ahh modprobe requires the modeules.dep that's probably why then
[08:25] <troubled> [c0re]: im not sure if that means kde is installed fully just being in the list
[08:25] <slap_stick> cool ;-)
[08:25] <[c0re]> troubled, i guess i did.
[08:26] <Frogzoo> andre_pl: gnome?
[08:26] <andre_pl> Frogzoo: yeppers.
[08:26] <deever> http://rafb.net/p/mBAHf919.html
[08:26] <deever> how can i apt make accept the local repo?
[08:26] <[c0re]> troubled,  i installed kbuntu-desktop via apt-get
[08:26] <andre_pl> Frogzoo: very fresh install
[08:26] <Sektor__> grr I'm banned from #c
[08:26] <troubled> [c0re]: hmmm, not sure if thats the right package or not.
[08:26] <Sektor__> guess they don't like people with unregistered nicknames
[08:26] <Styles> lol

[08:35] <[c0re]> itachi,  no
[08:35] <kindofabuzz> error404notfound, try clearing your cache, if that don't work. clear all cookies that have to do with google
[08:35] <Gitch> quick question, I'm sure the answer is really simple. How can I set it so that Hardy doesn't automatically load rhythmbox when I insert and audio CD?
[08:35] <troubled> [c0re]: as a temp test, do you have a command called startkde?

[08:36] <[c0re]> troubled, i am on kde
[08:36] <erbi> I tried installing 177.82 version of nvidia, but i wish to remove it, how can i remove what i tried installing?
[08:36] <troubled> [c0re]: do you know if you are running kdm or gdm? Im thinking try login on the console, stop the display manager, and try "startkde" manually
[08:36] <laku> kindofabuzz: Ok, I'll try that, thanks.
[08:37] <troubled> [c0re]: in your /etc/init.d dir, do you see a gdm and kdm or just one?
[08:37] <kindofabuzz> error404notfound, hmm search around on forums.mozillazine.org
[08:37] <erbi> how do i know what kind of nvidia driver im using?
[08:37] <[c0re]> troubled, how do i do?
[08:37] <zezu> what is the best vnc server?  I'm not too concerned about security i'm trying to use it on my intranet and i'm behind NAT and a decent firewall.   I just want my desktop how i see it now on another machine on the network
[08:37] <troubled> [c0re]: just seems like you are missing some xauth stuff that should have been handled properly. thinking maybe you are using gdm and it doesnt like letting kde start properly
[08:38] <erpo> I just got a popup balloon telling me that my batter has 49% of its original capacity. Is there a command I can run to get all sorts of gratuitous information about my laptop's battery?

[08:39] <erbi> d
[08:39] <UnknownUser56> in menu.lst in /boot/grub/ ,is it 'chainloader+1' or 'chainloader +1' to make an indirect boot ?
[08:39] <laku> kindofabuzz: That didn't work either.
[08:39] <troubled> zezu: i like tightvnc, but there are options diff vnc stuff to run a xserver on a headless display that you can vnc to and get a login, or you can run it manually from command line etc
[08:40] <yerchin> I'm trying to get wine to install from a DVD and it won't run!
[08:40] <Yashy> I have an application that goes lower than my desktop, so I can't click the mouse on a bottom corner to resize it to fit my screen?
[08:40] <yerchin> Install an app from DVD I mean.
[08:40] <kindofabuzz> laku, you set it to OSS in the vlc settings? did you restart vlc after?
[08:40] <[c0re]> troubled, i have both
[08:40] <Frogzoo> !wine
[08:40] <mustinet_> heist in philadelphia pm me
[08:40] <laku> Yes, I Think I selected the driver.
[08:40] <laku> And yes I restarted :-)
[08:40] <zezu> troubled, best case scenario:  it connect to vnc it asks for username/pwd (for a system account) and i get my actual desktop view, with as little setup as possible
[08:40] <troubled> [c0re]: if you do a "ps xaf | less" which one do you see running? gdm?
[08:40] <Nergoth> hi all
[08:40] <arthur_> winehq
[08:41] <WIGGMPk> Ok, ive been reading the reviews, running the LiveCD, etc. But hesitating on upgrading to 8.10.. My laptop just died, bought a new one, running Hardy off the old HD, but the hardware in the new laptop either means I compile a newer kernel and do a bunch of workarounds.. So my question, is how stable is 8.10 and what type of bugs we talking? I just need to do homework + internet + movies on it.. Suggestions, feedback??
[08:41] <Nergoth> guys, ubuntu server 8.10 has finger server enabled by default? :o
[08:41] <[c0re]> troubled, gdm
[08:41] <kindofabuzz> laku, i relally don't know what else, that's all i did to get sound in VLC, is your system sounds on Pulse?
[08:42] <troubled> zezu: well, the headless vnc is a real pita to setup for 24/7 running even after reboot, but its nice once its running since you get a normal session display manager login. but you can also run it manually in a shell on that manchine to lauch it one time
[08:42] <troubled> [c0re]: okay, try stop gdm with: /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[08:42] <laku> kindofabuzz: How do I find that out?
[08:42] <troubled> [c0re]: you may see your screen flicker a moment as it switchs to tty7 and back again to kill it
[08:42] <kindofabuzz> laku, system > preferences > sound, that's if you're on Ghome
[08:42] <kindofabuzz> gnome
[08:43] <[c0re]> troubled, how?
[08:43] <UnknownUser56> in menu.lst in /boot/grub/ ,is it 'chainloader+1' or 'chainloader +1' ?
[08:43] <troubled> [c0re]: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[08:43] <Nergoth> guys, has ubuntu server 8.10 finger server enabled by default? i tested my system by nmap and 79 port is open
[08:43] <[c0re]> lmao its funny troubled its runs both of them
[08:43] <[c0re]> troubled,  yea i did
[08:43] <Nergoth> guys, has ubuntu server 8.10 finger server enabled by default? i tested my system by nmap and 79 port is open. can I remove fingerd?
[08:43] <laku> kindofabuzz: For the most part, it all is set to 'Autodetect'
[08:43] <[c0re]> now?
[08:43] <yerchin> I checked the WINE and DVD pages. There's nothing about DVD software. The icons for the exes have a little "X" on them.
[08:43] <troubled> zezu: try vnc4server or "apt-cache search vnc | less"
[08:44] <troubled> [c0re]: start kdm: sudo /etc/init.d/kdm start"
[08:44] <UnknownUser56> yerchi:run windows dvd software under WINE
[08:44] <powertool08> UnknownUser56: I don't know if it matters, i have about 5 spaces in mine
[08:44] <troubled> [c0re]: better yet, hold on that and run "startkde" first as that user to see if it starts
[08:44] <UnknownUser56> powertool08:heh thanks
[08:44] <kelvin911> does the ubuntu netbook remix have terminal?
[08:44] <kindofabuzz> laku, are you on Intrepid? figured Pulse is the default
[08:44] <troubled> [c0re]: if kdm has startup issues, it might get stuck in a loop for a bit
[08:44] <zezu> troubled, ok thanks
[08:45] <yerchin> unknownuser56: what type of software? I'm just aiming to install software from this DVD's exe. It isn't a movie or anything.
[08:45] <Omitt> haha
[08:45] <Omitt> I just found that I didn't mount this 'ere disk properly
[08:46] <laku> kindofabuzz: No, I'm still using 8.04. But when I tested the sounds in the sound thingie. They didn't work. But then I changed them all from 'Autodetect' to 'ALSA' and I could hear the "test sound"
[08:46] <Omitt> I hope the files are still in /mnt/
[08:46] <troubled> zezu: it takes some setup, but its well worth it imho. use the inetd option without vnc password so anyone can just connect to the vnc but gets the greeter. but that also means you need to setup your gdm/kdm/xdm to allow tcp connections from localhost, which most distros dont by default
[08:46] <powertool08> troubled: does tightvnc come with a config file? I was messing with it earlier and neither defaults (/etc/vnc.conf & ~/.vnc/vnc.conf) exist, where can I get an example config to edit?
[08:46] <mzuverink> since I change my password, every time I sudo I have to use my old password, whats the fix for this?
[08:46] <troubled> zezu: just poke around in /etc/X11 for the options for for your display manager
[08:46] <UnknownUser56>  yerchin:run the exe under WINE - there should be an option to emulate on right click
[08:46] <zezu> troubled, okk
[08:46] <laku> kindofabuzz: But still nothing in VLC, although, I think I changed it back to ALSA.
[08:46] <yerchin> There is but I don't have permission to use it or do anything.
[08:46] <troubled> powertool08: not sure about the linux tightvnc, I tried vnc4server for a headless setup
[08:46] <voland> Have anybody faced with usr/include/libxml2/libxml/xmlmemory.h: No such file or directory error. Such file exists
[08:47] <kindofabuzz> laku, yeah i don't get the whole sound thing, on pulse i can hear the test, but on Alsa I can't even though I have sound elswhere on Alsa
[08:47] <deever> http://rafb.net/p/mBAHf919.html
[08:47] <deever> how can i make apt accept the local repo?
[08:47] <troubled> powertool08: a good way to find out is to ask dpkg for a file manifest: dpkg -L <pkgname>, or look in /usr/share/doc/<pkgname> for a default/example conf
[08:47] <Nergoth> guys, has ubuntu server 8.10 finger server enabled by default? i tested my system by nmap and 79 port is open. can I remove fingerd?
[08:47] <yerchin> This room needs one more person...
[08:47] <laku> kindofabuzz: Ok, well thanks anyways. :-)
[08:47] <powertool08> troubled: ok, thanks
[08:48] <nathan362>  where does MAIL command stores configuration like smtp/pop3 servers and credentials ?
[08:48] <troubled> zezu: come to think of it, I think kdm/gdm has a grpahical tool to allow setting that kinda option for ya (tcp etc)
[08:48] <kindofabuzz> laku, look in synaptic for vlc, there are several plugins yoou "may" need to install
[08:49] <UnknownUser56> can I write to a file like so - echo text\nline > log.txt
[08:49] <laku> kindofabuzz: Ok, I'll take a look, and install everything ;-)
[08:49] <troubled> everything? now theres a long download :)

[08:59] <kmg_> bigot!
[08:59] <troubled> pogztimz: well, you tried cups before?
[08:59] <eviking> i mean upper panel....
[09:00]  * neelabh slaps aba- around a bit with a large trout
[09:00] <c0re_> troubled, why kde is sooooooooooooo slow
[09:00] <troubled> c0re_: cause its bloated? :)
 yes i recently installed cupsys.. but i want to know how to share it with my client computers
[09:01] <troubled> kde = vista, gnome = XP, for a rough idea ;)
[09:01] <spazm_> would this line work to delete all comments (spam) from 2008-02-11 and forward to todays date? (in mysql)
[09:01] <spazm_> DELETE FROM g2_Comment WHERE g_date > "2008-02-11";
[09:01] <curly752> since upgrading to 8.10 my philips cam SPC90NC is recognised on boot in dmesg... but an lsusb shows it as a Orite CCD webcam (PC370R) which is a Creative webcam lol
[09:01] <troubled> c0re_: might be something else though. depends on alot of things really. you low on ram? your system swapping hard? slow cpu? etc
[09:02] <troubled> spazm_: try: SELECT count(*) from g2_comment WHERE date(g_date) > "2008-02-11";?
 can u pls give me a good HOWTO site in configuring a print server?
[09:02] <kmg_> troubled: i have a line in my fstab for /dev/
[09:02] <c0re_> troubled, i got 1 gb ram, 1 gb+ swap, 3gb x 2 cpus
[09:02] <troubled> spazm_: i think you can get away with date for a greater than operand though
[09:03] <troubled> kmg_: can you paste the whole line for /var here?
[09:03] <spazm_> troubled: ok.. but, I'm  not sure what that line would do :)
[09:03] <kmg_> troubled: whoops, its for /dev/sda1 and it mentions errors=remount-ro
[09:03] <tapas> is the networkmanager doing something magical?
[09:03] <curly752> i have studied the linux-usb lists and find the Creative PC370R webcam now uses the vendor ID previously used by the SPC900NC cam and the SPC900NC has fallen offthe list somehow.... WTF?
[09:03] <tapas> when i try to manually connect using iwconfig and dhclient i get no connection
[09:03] <troubled> c0re_: is it just sluggish at start? or is it brutally slow always?
[09:03] <tapas> networkmanager connects almost immediately
[09:04] <troubled> kmg_: ya, the remount-ro is what i was wondering. but also, whats the default mount mode? ro or rw?
[09:04] <kmg_> troubled: i don't have a line that mentions var
[09:04] <c0re_> troubled,  slow always
[09:04] <kmg_> it just says /dev/sda1 doesn't say where its mounting to
[09:04] <troubled> kmg_: can you pastebin your whole fstab plz?
[09:04] <eviking> UpChuck_Norris: i'll do some googling. thanks for your time!
[09:04] <koshari> can anyone recommend a well supported dvb-t usb dongle that works well in ubuntu?
[09:04] <troubled> c0re_: is your hd always doing stuff?
[09:04] <Yashy> I have an application that goes lower than my desktop, so I can't click the mouse on a bottom corner to resize it to fit my screen?
[09:04] <c0re_> no
[09:04] <UpChuck_Norris> eviking: No problem
[09:04] <kmg_> troubled: uhhhhh i'll try but i think i'll have to manually transcribe it...
[09:05] <eviking> troubled: thanks for your time!
[09:05] <c0re_> its not mounted yet
[09:05] <c0re_> troubled, only / and /home is mounted :p
[09:05] <troubled> eviking: np, you get your problem solved? (forget)

[09:06] <deever> how can i make apt accept the local repo?
[09:06] <troubled> c0re_: I wasnt asking you for mounted stuff ;)
[09:06] <c0re_> troubled, then?
[09:06] <troubled> c0re_: just wondering if your system may have been swapping or something and if the hard drive lite was solid on
[09:07] <demonspork> deever, what exactly are you trying to do
[09:08] <demonspork> deever do you have a local copy of the repository
[09:08] <troubled> c0re_: take another peek at your xorg log again to see if something is going error mad
[09:08] <troubled> c0re_: ctrl-alt-f1 can also help since you started via the console. (alt-f7 to return to X)
[09:09] <troubled> err, well i think tty7 is the default for ubuntu, mind need to try f6 or something instead
[09:09] <Myrtti> !give ubottu a test
[09:09] <kmg_> troubled: ctrl+alt-f7*?
[09:09] <troubled> you only need ctrl and alt to leave X to get a console. in console alt+f? works to get back
[09:10] <kmg_> oh really?
[09:10] <kmg_> hm

[09:16] <error404notfound> I can play all flash videos like youtube, metacafe, myspace, etc, but I can't play google videos, why? (ubuntu 8.10, ff3, install flash-nonfree), even tried clearing cache, cookies and such...
[09:17] <Frogzoo> pogztimz: sys -> admin -> printing
[09:17] <kmg_> troubled: i was booting into recovery mode again and it just happened to automatically run fsck, you know how it does, and I got: UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY; RUN fsck MANUALLY ... *An automatic file system check of the root filesystem failed
[09:17] <pogztimz> i am on ubuntu server.. no GUI.. only CLI :)
[09:17] <sjovan> error404notfound: wierd... i can play googlevideo, but metacafe crashes firefox on my computer :)
[09:18] <error404notfound> sjovan: I have that working fine
[09:18] <troubled> kmg_: tried running fsck on it?
[09:18] <troubled> kmg_: also, you may want to run some HD SMART tools on the drive to make sure its not on its way out
[09:18] <Yashy> I have an application that goes lower than my desktop, so I can't click the mouse on a bottom corner to resize it to fit my screen?
[09:18] <erbi> does my ubuntu 8.10 require GDM to run in background ?
[09:19] <troubled> kmg_: anything special that may have happened the last time it worked and the time it stopped?
[09:19] <Yashy> erbi: What do you mean require? come by default? You can remove it...
[09:19] <pogztimz> any1 pls tell me how to add/install a printer on on ubuntu server?
[09:19] <troubled> erbi: if you want it to auto start X for a login it does :)
[09:19] <kmg_> troubled: yeah, my processor overheated and forced an immediate shutdown
[09:19] <erbi> oh i see
[09:20] <Yashy> pogztimz: google "ubuntu add printer"
[09:20] <deever> demonspork: certainly, but how can i make 'apt-get update' accept the local Packages.gz?
[09:20] <demonspork> oooooh
[09:20] <demonspork> I understand now
[09:20] <troubled> kmg_: eeek! try run fsck on your /dev/sda1
[09:20] <powertool08> pogztimz: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=240282
[09:20] <demonspork> I have no clue
[09:20] <Yashy> pogztimz: or system -> administration -> printing -> add printer
 yeah ty taht was brilliant.. i never thought of that.. i shouldnt have come here
[09:21] <demonspork> deever, you would have to configure your sources.list for a local repository
[09:21] <troubled> pogztimz: time to go explore your menus! ;)
[09:21] <kmg_> troubled: yeah, i already did from a gentoo livecd, and it did not have good news to tell me
[09:21] <error404notfound> under root account google video works fine, I don't want to delete my .mozilla dir, have so many plugins and bookmarks installed, I also tried disabling all plugins, still no use..
[09:21] <demonspork> deever, a local packages.gz is no good without a repository with it
[09:21] <UnknownUser56> damn it,I installed grub and adjust menu.lst to include WinXP . In the option screen to dual boot I chose Ubuntu and after loading the splash ,the screen goes blank and I have to reboot,why does this happen ?
[09:21] <powertool08> pogztimz: for the record, grabbed that as the first hit with "add printer ubuntu server cli" from google
[09:21] <troubled> kmg_: in a console, try run: fsck -p -y -f /dev/sda1
[09:21] <deever> demonspork: well, the sources.list i have configured...
[09:22] <demonspork> deever, what exactly are you trying to do that requires a local packages.gz
[09:22] <troubled> kmg_: thats going to force (-f) a check, attempt auto repair (-p) and assume yes on all questions (-y)
[09:22] <Nergoth> can I use libsafe with ubuntu-server 8.10? does it increase security? or maybe security will be compromised because libsafe is old?
[09:22] <UpChuck_Norris> Do not run fsck if the filesystem is mounte
[09:22] <UpChuck_Norris> mounted*
[09:22] <kmg_> troubled: k, i'm running fsck right now with no options so i'll do that once it's done
[09:22] <troubled> kmg_: but that also means if it find a bazillion unrecoverable blocks, its gonna assume you want to recover instead of asking you for each one. but thats bad if you get them anyways
[09:23] <kmg_> yeah
[09:23] <kmg_> UpChuck_Norris: are you talking to me?
[09:23] <kmg_> UpChuck_Norris: it's mounted read-only
[09:24] <UpChuck_Norris> kmg: I was talking to you, mounted read-only should be fine
[09:24] <Nergoth> guys, can I use libsafe with ubuntu-server 8.10? does it increase security? or maybe security will be compromised because libsafe is old?
[09:24] <UpChuck_Norris> kmg_: I just wasn't sure if it was mounted or not
[09:24] <deever> demonspork: that's indeed a good question...:)
[09:24] <UnknownUser56> I installed grub and adjust menu.lst to include WinXP . In the option screen to dual boot I chose Ubuntu and after loading the splash ,the screen goes blank and I have to reboot,why does this happen ?
[09:25] <UpChuck_Norris> It has safe in the name, how could you go wrong :)?
[09:25] <kmg_> k
[09:25] <Nergoth> UpChuck_Norris, but last version if from 2005 and can has bugs :)
[09:25] <c0re__> troubled, its look faster than before
[09:25] <Whabo> ..
[09:26] <demonspork> deever, what? why do you need to get apt to accept a local packages.gz, unless you are doing something irregular
[09:26] <troubled> c0re__: kde?
[09:26] <jin> how do I tell me computer to shutdown over 5 minutes?
[09:26] <c0re__> troubled,  yes
[09:26] <troubled> jin: at +5min reboot?
[09:26] <c0re__> lol
[09:26] <troubled> oops, wrong syntax though
[09:26] <Yashy> SYNOPSIS
[09:26] <Yashy>        shutdown [OPTION]... TIME [MESSAGE]
[09:26] <kmg_> troubled: also, the overheat / emergency shutdown occured while i was installing packages for the upgrade to 8.10, so i've got that mess to look forward to once I can successfully boot =D
[09:26] <Frogzoo> jimcooncat: man shutdown
[09:27] <c0re__> he is dead
[09:27] <troubled> Yashy: or that :)
[09:27] <Yashy> I have an application that goes lower than my desktop, so I can't click the mouse on a bottom corner to resize it to fit my screen?
[09:27] <Frogzoo> c0re__: who is dead?
[09:27] <troubled> Yashy: sometimes its the simple stuff you forget heh
[09:27] <Devinder> can u helpme in making  a backup of ubuntu and its applications
[09:27] <c0re__> JIN
[09:27] <Yashy> troubled: man pages are handy for reminder references :)
[09:27] <troubled> kmg_: sounds like fun :) should be easy enough
[09:28] <troubled> Yashy: heh
[09:28] <kmg_> Yashy: I have that same problem with glade interface designer on my eeepc
[09:29] <Yashy> and my resolution is at the highest possible for this monitor, so I'm screwed I guess  :)
[09:29] <c0re__> troubled, can you tell me how do i make it dual click mode?
[09:29] <kmg_> Yashy: you could try a virtual desktop
[09:29] <dek> in KDE4, how can I make krunner open with Alt+Space (just like good old Katapult) ?
[09:29] <troubled> that size problem seems to really plague every linux install ive seen
[09:29] <c0re__> i hate single click
[09:29] <UnknownUser56> when I chose to boot from ubuntu,after the ubuntu splashscreen loads the monitor turns off and I can't see any output until I restart,why could this happen ?
[09:30] <Yashy> UnknownUser56: try hitting CTRL+ALT+2
[09:30] <troubled> c0re__: dual click?
[09:30] <kindofabuzz> wrong refresh rate?
[09:30] <marvxxx> any ufraw users here? i discovered a .badpixel-file problem. the file doesnt look like to get used
[09:30] <Yashy> or CTRL+ALT+1
[09:30] <troubled> c0re__: check your display manage options for click options
[09:30] <UnknownUser56> hmm ,thanks yashy & kindaofbuzz ,I'll try it
[09:31] <troubled> Yashy: dont you mean ctrl-alt-f1?
[09:32] <troubled> or does "1" do something special in ubuntu?
[09:32] <kmg_> UnknownUser56: if you hit ctrl+alt+f1 it should drop you should see a command line, if you do, that means your monitor is configured incorrectly.
[09:32] <kmg_> -drop
[09:33] <c0re__> troubled, i cant find it
[09:33] <troubled> c0re__: sorry, can't help you with that, go explore all that is KDE menus!
[09:33] <Kartagis> what is the switch to tell genisoimage not to truncate filenames?

[09:35] <root_> ok

[09:45] <erbi> i think it has something to do with me selecting system->preferences->screen resoliution
[09:46] <Kartagis> troubled, genisoimage -o name.iso -R /media/cdrom0
[09:47] <troubled> Kartagis: you are just wanting to clone cdrom0 contents?
[09:48] <frame07> hoi
[09:48] <Hut> ;-)
[09:48] <marvxxx> any ufraw users here? i discovered a .badpixel-file problem. the file doesnt look like to get used
[09:48] <kmg_> troubled: it's okay if fsck says 4.5% non-contiguous, right?
[09:48] <Kartagis> troubled, exactly
[09:48] <troubled> kmg_: seems low (fragmenation)
[09:49] <troubled> Kartagis: what dev name is cdrom0 for you? /dev/hdc?
[09:49] <kmg_> troubled: well, this time i didn't get any error output, so I guess it fixed the problems
[09:49] <troubled> kmg_: woot i say!
[09:49]  * troubled declares today, national kmg_ woot day ;)
[09:50] <kmg_> troubled: yes, but /var still seems to be read-only
[09:50] <troubled> Kartagis: ls -l /media/ | grep cdrom0
[09:50] <troubled> kmg_: type "mount", is /var an actual mount?
[09:50] <digifor> using ubuntu intrepid with lotus notes 8.5 .deb. I am getting error "SSL certificate is invalid" when trying to get on gmail
[09:50] <digifor> How do I fix the above?
[09:50] <error404notfound> any idea how can I setup a ipv6 network with ubuntu as web,proxy,mail,dhcp,dns and etc server ;d
[09:50] <kmg_> uh
[09:51] <kmg_> no
[09:51] <ikonia> digifor: contact ibm for how the certifcates are handled
[09:51] <troubled> kmg_: im guessing the root is ro then?
[09:51] <kmg_> =\
[09:51] <erbi> troubled: After i ran System->preferences->screen resolution, it has messed up my x server somehow
[09:51] <ikonia> digifor: you may need to configure lotus notes to exclude or accept gmails certificates
[09:51] <troubled> kmg_: did you do the -p -y -f options on fsck?
[09:51] <kmg_> troubled: im writing stuff to it right now
[09:51] <kmg_> i just made a directory in /
[09:52] <troubled> erbi: were you using non free accelated drivers before or something?
[09:52] <kmg_> troubled: can't do -p and -y at the same time
[09:52] <ikonia> erbi: are you still strugglging with the nvidia modules?
[09:52] <troubled> kmg_: guess its implied. anyways, are you trying to write to /var as root?
[09:52] <troubled> kmg_: normal users cant write there generally
[09:52] <digifor> thanks ikonia that gives me something to look at
[09:52] <kmg_> troubled: i just did -p and -f and it never asked me any questions or output that there were problems
[09:53] <ikonia> digifor ibm appears to have support for it
[09:53] <troubled> kmg_: what are you trying to do that gives you an error?
[09:53] <kmg_> troubled: yes I am, im in the recovery mode so I'm the root user
[09:53] <troubled> kmg_: oh, are you using a boot cd?
[09:54] <LoveGuru> Is there any Helpfull tutorial for newusers to Set-up/configure mail server ?

[09:54] <troubled> Kartagis: whats your cdrom device? /dev/hdc?
[09:54] <fus10nx> If I am issuing the command "vncserver :8" it should be starting a VNC server session on port 5908 correct?
[09:54] <||arifaX> erbi: this could happen if you use restricted or proprietary drivers then you have to setup your xorg.conf manually or with other tools
[09:54] <troubled> Kartagis: better yet, type "mount" and tell me what it says is for cdrom0
[09:55] <troubled> fus10nx: netstat -tnlp | grep vnc
[09:55] <fus10nx> troubled: what does that do?
[09:55] <troubled> fus10nx: i think they generally start from 5900 or 5901 though
[09:55] <seagullman> is there someway i can save and restore my mbr?
[09:55] <troubled> fus10nx: shows you whats listening on tcp ports named "*vnc*"
[09:56] <troubled> seagullman: dd if=/dev/hd? of=/tmp/my.mbr bs=512 count=1
[09:56] <ikonia> seagullman: what's the problem
[09:56] <fde> troubled: cd's should never be /dev/hd?? anymore, should be /dev/sr0 or /dev/scd
[09:56] <Kartagis> troubled, scd0
[09:56] <troubled> fde: thanks (debian here heh)
[09:56] <seagullman> troubled, sorry but what exactly does that do?
[09:57]  * rkvirani just hooked up 2 20" LCDs to his ubuntu box
[09:57] <kmg_> the thing is, when I try to boot regularly (not in recovery mode), usplash exits right after "Starting kernel log daemon..." and I get the error: Unable to open pidfile `/var/run/klogd/kmsgpipe.pid' for writing: Read-only file system
[09:57] <troubled> Kartagis: umount the cdrom, then run: dd if=/dev/scd0 of=/path/to/name.iso
[09:57] <fde> troubled: its not a question of distros... unless debian has a 2 year old kernel still?
[09:57] <ikonia> seagullman: what's the problem your trying to give
[09:57] <ikonia> fix
[09:57] <troubled> fde: aye
[09:57] <seagullman> ikonia, i am gonna reinstall windows, i figured saving and restoring my mbr would be easier than using grub
[09:57] <ikonia> seagullman: thats easy to fix
[09:57] <ikonia> seagullman: you don't need to backup and restore the mbr
[09:57] <UnknownUser56> ok,so the boot is still set up by wub ,and when I chose to boot from ubuntu after the splash scree it drops to a shell in (initramfs)>   - BusyBox
[09:58] <seagullman> ikonia, i thought backing up and restoring would be easy?
[09:58] <ikonia> seagullman: easier to just re-apply grub to the boot sector
[09:58] <kmg_> troubled: any ideas
[09:58] <kmg_> ?
[09:58] <ikonia> seagullman: 3 quick commands
[09:58] <troubled> fde: i could probably hack around udev and change the name though. probably just my kernel using the old convention instead of generic scsi support
[09:58] <Kartagis> troubled, is dd better than genisoimage?
[09:58] <sauvin> updater just updated firefox and now firefox won't launch
[09:58] <troubled> Kartagis: for you yes, it will make a perfect iso copy
[09:58] <seagullman> ikonia, cool, is that gonna mess with my menu.lst on my boot partition?
[09:58] <ikonia> seagullman: not at all
[09:59] <seagullman> ikonia, oh k good. that was my main worry.
[09:59] <seagullman> ikonia, thanks for the help
[09:59] <ikonia> seagullman: not a problem
[09:59] <troubled> kmg_: are you using recovery console or a boot cd that is mounting the drive somewhere else?
[10:00] <troubled> Kartagis: when its all done with dd, you should be able to mount it with: mount -o loop,ro /path/to/name.iso /mnt
[10:00]  * rkvirani is tried
[10:00] <rkvirani> tired
[10:00] <rkvirani> lol

[10:01] <UnknownUser56> I am a newbie in the sense that I can't do much with nix based systems yet.Any links or information on how to do it properly (should I uninstall wub ? ) please share
[10:02] <Nergoth> how can I rectrict access to port 53 (named) for localhost only?
[10:02] <rkvirani> UnknownUser56: what are you trying to do?
[10:02] <troubled> kmg_: what happens when you boot after you ran the fsck though and not recovery mode?
[10:02] <troubled> Kartagis: did the dd finish okay?
[10:02] <UnknownUser56> rkvirani:trying to simply boot from ubuntu installation
[10:02] <kmg_> troubled: when I'm booting regularly (I removed 'splash' from my boot line) i get all these errors that say /var/run is ro fs
[10:03] <troubled> kmg_: but even not that you ran fsck?
[10:03] <troubled> kmg_: i need to see the fstab of your drive, not the one in /etc/fstab from a live cd which isnt the real fstab
[10:03] <kmg_> troubled: when I try to boot regularly (not in recovery mode), usplash exits right after "Starting kernel log daemon..." and I get the error: Unable to open pidfile `/var/run/klogd/kmsgpipe.pid' for writing: Read-only file system
[10:03] <kmg_> yes
[10:04] <troubled> kmg_: are you in the live cd right now still?
[10:04] <kmg_> okay, i'm gonna have to transcribe it or something... i can't seem to mount my usb stick in recovery mode or from the livecd
[10:04] <rkvirani> UnknownUser56: so you installed using wubi and it wont boot?
[10:04] <kmg_> no, right now i'm booting regularly
[10:04] <troubled> kmg_: you need to fsck your var partition, as it may not be /dev/sda1 and need an fsck
[10:04] <kmg_> im about to switch over to the livecd once it failes
[10:05] <rkvirani> I dont use wubi, I do a 'real' install and either shrink the windows install or in many cases overwrite it
[10:05] <Nergoth> how can I rectrict access to port 53 (named) for localhost only?
[10:05] <troubled> kmg_: would be better if you stay out of the recovery disk of you can. tell me if you at least get a login prompt
[10:05] <troubled> Nergoth: firewall (iptables)
[10:06] <onats> hi, what's a good partition allocation for an 80GB hard drive for an ubuntu installation?
[10:06] <troubled> onats: for simplicity? a 1 or 2gig swap, and the rest for /
[10:06] <onats> troubled, i think i'd like to separate home folders...
[10:06] <kmg_> but see now i don't even think that's a separate partition, is it supposed to be?
[10:06] <UnknownUser56> rkvirani:yes,installed from wubi ,and it boots the livecd ( which I am on currently ) ,I then installed from inside the livecd and all was successful ,but I can't boot from ubuntu other than the livecd
[10:07] <RolfCoptr> onats: swap == ram*2
[10:07] <troubled> onats: then cut the 80 in half and put half towards home :)
[10:07] <onats> so in case i need to format the actual drive, there's a separate partition...
[10:07] <onats> half half for home and root is good?
[10:07] <rkvirani> UnknownUser56: sorry dude
[10:07] <onats> so that means thats about 40GB for /?
[10:07] <troubled> kmg_: I can't tell until I see your fstab :)
[10:07] <hmw> ahoy
[10:07] <rkvirani> I feel kind of stupid but I dont think I will be able to help
[10:07] <UnknownUser56> onats:also,10gb for / and rest for /home ,that's what I learned
[10:07] <clariza> ,,,,,,
[10:07] <kmg_> troubled: oh man
[10:07] <kmg_> troubled: now i'm successfully logged in, but everything seems to be fucked
[10:07] <RolfCoptr> gehen die auch fuer blei? wohl nicht?
[10:07] <RolfCoptr> ww
[10:07] <UnknownUser56> damn .. I guess I could google some more
[10:07] <clariza> hi guys
[10:07] <rkvirani> Im not to comfortable with the idea of booting an image files off of NTLDR (since NTLDR is not the greatest)
[10:07] <troubled> kmg_: you must get to a login prompt on the broken system install to be able to drop it down to init 1 and run some tests
[10:07] <clariza> wats up here?
[10:08] <kmg_> troubled: i got into X
[10:08] <troubled> kmg_: and language... ;)
[10:08] <troubled> kmg_: get out of X and down to a console
[10:08] <hmw> clariza: i am watching myself, as i am here the first time
[10:08] <clariza> oh.. lol
[10:08] <clariza> this is my first time here
[10:08] <hmw> heheh
[10:09] <Falcons_roost> welcome
[10:09] <hmw> i want to post an "idea", but i want to find out, if it is there already...
[10:09] <troubled> UnknownUser56: only 10gb for / isn't great idea. usr can take a good 8gig some installs, and that only leaves 2gig for /var stuff like databases and logs
[10:09] <hmw> (ubuntu brainstorm)
[10:09] <clariza> are u all IT here?
[10:09] <hmw> lol
[10:09] <clariza> im just curious..
[10:09] <troubled> whats IT?
[10:10]  * troubled tags clariza XD
[10:10] <chilli0> hello all
[10:10] <Falcons_roost> Information Technologies
[10:10] <clariza> INformation technology student or IT specialist of something
[10:10] <chilli0> is there any aulternatives to flash for ubuntu?
[10:10] <nickh> We all know enough to cause trouble, clariza!  <SMILE>.
[10:10]  * troubled slaps Falcons_roost in an obvious manner :)
[10:10] <hmw> chilli0: yes.
[10:10]  * Falcons_roost yelps
[10:10] <clariza> oh.. now i know..
[10:10] <chilli0> hmw:  what is there?
[10:11] <hmw> what for do you want it?
[10:11] <avoinea> Hey guys ! Trying to make my microphone work I managed to mess my audio drivers and not nothing works :((
[10:11] <clariza> tsk.. btw.. wat are u talking earlier?
[10:11] <troubled> clariza: just a hobbyist here
[10:11] <hmw> (theres an open source flash, i had to google myself)
[10:11] <chilli0> make flash sites and flash animations
[10:11] <avoinea> is there any way to restore it
[10:11] <avoinea> ?
[10:11] <clariza> oh..
[10:11] <hmw> ah. you want an devel enviroment? i have no clue about that... i refuse to use flash on my pages
[10:11] <clariza> yo guys.. are u all linux usere?
[10:11] <SlimeyPete> there aren't any flash creation tools for Linux as far as I'm aware
[10:11] <UnknownUser56> troubled:I was told that was a good choice since it won't be a webserver or a database :)
[10:11] <clariza> *users
[10:12] <ikonia> chilli0: there are no real development flash tools in linux
[10:12] <chilli0> whats devel?
[10:12] <kmg_> troubled: and now i'm on the command line
[10:12] <hmw> development
[10:12] <ikonia> clariza: what's the problem
[10:12] <ikonia> chilli0: devlopment
[10:12] <chilli0> ok
[10:12] <avoinea> I stopped alsa following this instructions https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenSound and now I don't know how to revert that
[10:12] <clariza> im having a hard time using Linux..
[10:12] <troubled> UnknownUser56: depends on your usage plans I guess. but from my experience, not using LVM can be regreatable down the road for such a small root fs
[10:12] <kmg_> troubled: sorry
[10:12] <AdvoWork> for ubuntu, does anyone recommend any audio programs which will convert mp3 to cd format(wav I think) ?
[10:12] <troubled> kmg_: run "init 1"
[10:12] <ikonia> clariza what's the problem, and what version of ubuntu are you using
[10:13] <clariza> this is my first time to use tis...
[10:13] <hmw> clariza: whats making your time hard?
[10:13] <troubled> kmg_: the whole world that is your system should come to a near halt :) (ps xaf, to verify)
[10:13] <clariza> i dunno wat version.. my classmates installed it here on my pc..
[10:13] <hmw> but its an ubuntu?
[10:13] <kmg_> troubled: yeah it's doing stuff...
[10:13] <Ximal> anyone here have experience with usb drive issues ? i have magicjack plugged in and it is basically a usbdrive with a small amount of memory on it that holds the progra's firmware and autostarter yet it says Cannot mount drive ...
[10:13] <clariza> nahh.. dont laugh ok? i cant shut it down... i mean my pc..
[10:13] <ikonia> Ximal what file system is on it
[10:13] <kmg_> troubled: oh snap, now i'm at the recovery menu
[10:14] <Ximal> a usb plugin is what magicjack uses
[10:14] <Falcons_roost> application/system monitor
[10:14] <troubled> kmg_: recovery menu?
[10:14] <hmw> you can look in the "System" menu
[10:14] <ikonia> clariza speak to your teacher
[10:14] <Ximal> it's like those flashdrive driven hardware programs
[10:14] <ikonia> Ximal: what file sysetm is on it
[10:14] <Ximal> ones like umm... vonage usb
[10:14] <avoinea> Now I get "audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink: Failed to connect stream: Invalid argumen" when I try to test my sound card in Sound Preferences
[10:14] <clariza> um.. yea i will ikonia..
[10:14] <hmw> there should be an entry "about ubuntu" - when opening it, it will tell you the exact version number
[10:14] <Ximal> all unknown ikonia when i hit properties up for info ..
[10:14] <Falcons_roost> applications/system tools/system monitor
[10:14] <clariza> but they were really busy by now..
[10:14] <hmw> i find ubuntu *very* easy to use
[10:15] <ikonia> clariza I'm sure your teach will help
[10:15] <ikonia> teacher
[10:15] <troubled> alright guys, is run level 1 single user mode in ubuntu or what?
[10:15] <Ximal> it's under computer:/// as usbdrive
[10:15] <hmw> SU is not RL 1
[10:15] <hmw> usually
[10:15] <erUSUL> troubled: yes like in any other linux
[10:15] <digifor> thanks ikonia the solution was setting the accept SSL certificates to yes.
[10:15] <clariza> thnxs ikonia..
[10:15] <ikonia> hmw: yes it is
[10:15] <avoinea> :(((((((((((
[10:15] <hmw> indeed?
[10:15] <hmw> hmm
[10:15] <unop> troubled, yes
[10:15] <troubled> erUSUL: thats what I though, just wondering how this guy got a recovery console doing an init 1 :/
[10:15] <ikonia> hmw: single user is normally run level 1
[10:15] <clariza> btw.. whre u from guys?
[10:16] <ikonia> clariza: doesn't matter, all across the world
[10:16] <troubled> kmg_: hth did you get a recovery console?
[10:16] <kmg_> troubled: yeah, it brought up the recovery menu
[10:16] <kmg_> troubled: like when you boot the kernel in recovery mode
[10:16] <ikonia> clariza: this channel is for support questions only
[10:16] <ikonia> Ximal: do you know what device fiel is associated with it /dev/sdb for example
[10:16] <clariza> oh.. sory.. but ur really gud in ubuntu uh..
[10:16] <troubled> kmg_: hmm, must be a ubuntu thing? what choices do you have?
[10:16] <ikonia> clariza: no problem
[10:16] <nikki93> Anyone here uses xgame? Whenever I run xgame, which display does it go to? I would like to switch between my 'normal' display and 'game' display, like switching between ttys with the Ctrl+Alt+F* keys.
[10:16] <Ximal> yes ... 1 moment while i look itup
[10:17] <kmg_> troubled: resume normal boot, try to make free space, repair broken packages (dpkg), file system check (fsck), drop to root shell prompt, try to fix x server (xfix)
[10:18] <troubled> kmg_: drop to root shell prompt
[10:18] <hmw> is there a channel for talk, too? i mean more like a technical discourse
[10:18] <kmg_> done
[10:18] <mib_mvruay> my laptop doesnt hibernate what may be the problem?
[10:18] <ikonia> hmw #ubuntu-offtopic
[10:18] <hmw> thx
[10:18] <Ximal> under /dev/scd1
[10:19] <UnknownUser56> bah,I'm going to start from 0,installing ubuntu
[10:19] <troubled> kmg_: ps xaf (is only a few things running?)
[10:20] <kmg_> troubled: uhh... not as many as is usually in ps -A, there's probably like 30 things running
[10:20] <troubled> kmg_: okay, sounds about right. next, do you have the lsof command installed?
[10:20] <kmg_> yeah
[10:21] <troubled> kmg_: lfos /var
[10:21] <kmg_> nothing
[10:21] <troubled> good
[10:21] <Ximal> ikonia ?
[10:21] <troubled> kmg_: grep var /etc/fstab
[10:21] <ikonia> Ximal: lets look at the partition type see if it gives us a clue, sudo fdisk -l /dev/sdc
[10:22] <Ximal> Disk /dev/sdc doesn't contain a valid partition table
[10:22] <ikonia> Ximal: interesting
[10:22] <troubled> Ximal: blank drive?
[10:22] <ikonia> not sure how it's mounting /dev/sdc then
[10:22] <AdvoWork> for ubuntu, does anyone recommend any audio programs which will convert mp3 to cd format(wav I think) ?
[10:22] <kmg_> nothing
[10:23] <Ximal> i can open the drive .... and view it's contents ...
[10:23] <Ximal> i just can't see it as a usb port
[10:23] <DIFH-iceroot> AdvoWork: you want to burn them?
[10:23] <troubled> kmg_: whats in your fstab? just everything under a single rootfs?
[10:23] <ikonia> Ximal can't see it as a usb port ?
[10:23] <DIFH-iceroot> AdvoWork: then use k3b, the burning-program
[10:23] <ikonia> Ximal: what do you mean, what are you expecting ?
[10:23] <Ximal> my virtual box thinl's it is a cdrom drive..
[10:24] <erbi> http://pastebin.com/m517d0057 , look @ line 372, because of that, instead of my display resolution being 1680, it goes to 800, how do i fix that?
[10:24] <koshari> ﻿ anyone had any success getting any recent usb dvb-t cards to work with linux?
[10:24] <erbi> i think it has something to do with me selecting system->preferences->screen resoliution
[10:24] <erbi> troubled: After i ran System->preferences->screen resolution, it has messed up my x server somehow
[10:24] <Ximal> so what i'm going to do ... and hopefully it doesn't ruin my dad's device ... is back-up the files and then format the little bugger ... and then put the files on it again
[10:24] <Ximal> and maybe it will or won't work
[10:25] <ndo> Guys, how do i get inside guest linux system via ssh?
[10:25] <nachi_> hey, i got a user named me12 , this user is in group "g1" , i want to add him also to "g2" group, how can i do that?
[10:26] <ikonia> Ximal: you know virtualbox doesn't support usb properly unless it's the paid for version
[10:26] <UnknownUser56> I have 80gb of free space,do I even need a /home ?
[10:26] <ikonia> UnknownUser56: you don't need /home - it's your choice
[10:26] <Ximal> i downloaded the proper version from sun
[10:26] <UnknownUser56> ikonia : well what's the benefit of having one ?
[10:26] <Ximal> and added them to my repository supply list
[10:26] <nachi_> help?
[10:26] <Ximal> so I have the 2.0 plus version working..
[10:27] <ikonia> UnknownUser56: disk managment
[10:27] <troubled> erbi: sorry, no ideas. looks like you are missing any resolutions at all. but im also not sure what options nvidia may support in the driver for auto picking the best resolution for your monitor
[10:27] <ikonia> Ximal: then join #vbox to get vbox support
[10:27] <Ximal> good idea i suppose
[10:27] <ikonia> Ximal: there is also support resources on the vbox site for the non-free version
[10:27] <Ximal> i just was hoping a specific ubuntu user community had experience with it first..
[10:27] <UnknownUser56> ikonia:ah 20gb for '/' along is standard then ?
[10:27] <Ximal> thanks for the try ikonia
[10:28] <kmg_> troubled: my fstab: http://paste.ubuntu.com/73789/
[10:28] <ndo> ok, other way. if i install guest system with "virt-install" command. On an XEN. how do i get inside this guest then? someone? :)
[10:28] <yao_ziyuan> i just found some inconsistency in GNOME's captions. just right click the upper panel (where there are Applications, Places, System, quick launch icons, ...) and you'll see: "Add to Panel", "Delete This Panel". and then right click the Trash applet on the bottom panel. you'll see: "Remove From Panel"
[10:28] <troubled> UnknownUser56: or you could just pick something but use LVM. easy as pie to change your mind later and move space between partitions
[10:28] <yao_ziyuan> see? why "to" is lowercased but "From" is uppercased? hehe.
[10:29] <erbi> In my NVIDIA X Server settings, under X Server information, the NVIDIA Driver version is 177.80, but under openGL/GLX Info, the OpenGL information Version is 2.1.2 NVIDIA 177.82, thus API mismatch, how do i fix this ?
[10:29] <adam7> !bugs
[10:29] <soreau> UnknownUser56: Your home folder is where user settings are saved for most all applications
[10:29] <adam7> !bugs | yao_ziyuan
[10:29] <troubled> kmg_: when you type "mount", is sda1 mounted ro or rw?
[10:29] <yao_ziyuan> i'm talking about it in #gnome.
[10:30] <soreau> UnknownUser56: You don't need a separate home partition, but it is not necessarily a bad idea to have one and 20 GB's should be fine for your root directory '/'
[10:31] <troubled> LVM!
[10:31] <ocs> hi. i have changed my monitor and now i see strange values in screen system settings. in addition, i see all the windows larger than they should be... what can i do ?
[10:32] <UnknownUser56> thanks for the help troubled & soreau .. checking lvm wikipedia page,going to see how it functions
[10:35] <UnknownUser56> The wiki mentions that there's a chance LVM can corrupt the file system ,is it correct ?
[10:36] <troubled> yes, if you resize the volume and not the underlying file system
[10:36] <troubled> for ext2/3, that should happen automagically for you though (unless you got a brain dead debian stable that decided to break lvm this year....)
[10:36] <bullgard4> What is the executable file name of the 'Disk Mounter 2.22.2' applet for mounting and unmounting block volumes?
[10:37] <UnknownUser56> ah
[10:37] <troubled> ive ran lvm for probably 10 years now and havent lost a single volume to it
[10:37] <Ximal> hey ikonia ... how do I enable usbfs on ubuntu ?
[10:38] <troubled> resizes for ext2/3 used to always call the tool to do the fs for ya (resize2fs), but on etch, i think it was broken last I checked
[10:38] <djiezes> Anyone know if Ubuntu will offer me the new nvidia drivers (v 180) through the 'restricted drivers' application, or will I have to download those manually?
[10:38] <ikonia> djiezes: it may do in time, not at the moment
[10:39] <djiezes> ikonia: any idea how long? i prefer installing them through this default application. am willing to wait a little...
[10:39] <ikonia> djiezes: why do you need the 180 ones?
[10:39] <ikonia> djiezes: it may never off them, depends on the development roadmap
[10:39] <djiezes> ikonia: they should solve the problem with compiz artifacts (titlebar decoration etc).
[10:39] <kanhiya78> hello everybody ; give me a solution of this question when i click on install updates in update manager i got a message that i am going to install software that can't  be authenticated
[10:39] <troubled> UnknownUser56: well, probably closer to 7 years, but still. its pretty good. Any time I need space, its just a matter of running lvresize on a volume and adding space to another one, while in single user mode
[10:39] <djiezes> ikonia: okay thx, i will download them then. thx for the answer
[10:40] <kanhiya78> what should i do?
[10:40] <ikonia> djiezes sorry it's not what your looking for
[10:40] <Hikefu> kanhiya78, it means that you added a repo that doesn't have a key associated with it.
[10:40] <Hikefu> I think.
[10:40] <djiezes> ikonia: no problem, it's an answer to my question :)
[10:40] <Hikefu> What repos did you add?
[10:40] <UnknownUser56> troubled:thanks ,I will be using it :)
[10:40] <Pavlz> we need of a software similar to winrpt, totally free software GNU General Public License
[10:41] <kanhiya78> Hikefu: i do not know because i am new to linux and what to do to overcome
[10:41] <fde> Pavlz: umm, so what does winrpt do?
[10:41] <troubled> UnknownUser56: although, i also usually install a small minimal CLI only debian in 1gig or so that I can boot to work on my main install and do lvm commands on the root fs. otherwise, init 1, is usually enough to umount my /usr, /var, /home and /tmp and move space around
[10:41] <kanhiya78> 92 updates are available to me
[10:42] <kanhiya78> Hikefu: now what to do? which one to install
[10:42] <troubled> UnknownUser56: plus, adding a new drive is cake, just make a partition (or multiple if you ever want the abiility to install another os on it) and assign each partition as a volume. you can migrate data to and from any drive if you ever need to reclaim one of the partitions
[10:42] <Hikefu> It shouldn't be a problem to update. To be certain, can you past a copy of the file /etc/apt/sources.list
[10:43] <fde> kanhiya78: sudo aptitude install ubuntu-keyring ... once that's installed, it should be fine to ignore it, I doubt you even know how to add other repos  ;)
[10:43] <Hikefu> kanhiya78, if you haven't added sources, simply do what fde said.
[10:43] <troubled> UnknownUser56: example: new 100gig drive (easy numbers), make 10x10gig partitions and add them to a volume group (say "volumes"), then if you need to install windows, you can always migrate off the first partition of the 10, kill it and make it windows
[10:43] <kmg_> troubled: sorry, i lost connectivity there
[10:43] <troubled> kmg_: wb
[10:44] <onats> what's the best way to manage multiple ubuntu desktops?
[10:44] <onats> is there such a utility?
[10:44] <kmg_> troubled: /dev/sda1 on / type ext3 (rw,errors=remount-ro)
[10:44] <joshhunt> I know this probably isnt the best place to ask...
[10:44] <joshhunt> but would i be able to get some help with getting ssh over http(s) to work
[10:44] <fde> Pavlz: are you going to answer my question, or do you expect us to track down that software, and figure out what it does ourselves? Many here haven't used Windows in a long time.
[10:45] <troubled> kmg_: hmm, so its not read only? hmm
[10:45] <Pavlz> http://www.vectorweb.it/index.php?language=en&page=prodotti&gruppo=203&prod=WinRPT
[10:45] <troubled> kmg_: you shouldn't be getting any read only filesystem errors. its currently rw, and you have no seperate /var
[10:45] <troubled> kmg_: what sort of stuff was complaining about /var?
[10:46] <joshhunt> I have tried both http://dag.wieers.com/howto/ssh-http-tunneling/ and http://www.mtu.net/~engstrom/ssh-proxy.php and they both didnt work
[10:46] <fde> Pavlz: based on that, I know of nothing... see if it'll work with wine  :/
[10:46] <ikonia> kmg_: please put df -h in the pastebin please
[10:46] <troubled> ikonia: was thinking that too, but it said read-only specifically
[10:46] <ikonia> lets find out
[10:46] <troubled> thought permissions, but its should be root only anyways. and all his daemons should be starting as root
[10:47] <troubled> plus, he is in init 1 from a boot that had the problem, so it would still be ro if an error did remount ro

[10:50] <icqnumber> hello peeople, does this stream works for you: gst-launch -m playbin uri="mmsh\://broadcast01.station.ru/rusradio" ?  and if it end up with an error, can you try this one gst-launch -m playbin uri="mms\://broadcast01.station.ru/rusradio" ? (because this one have to work)  can you confirm this issue with the mmsh stream? i need this for the bug investigation...
[10:50] <Hikefu> kanhiya78, it looks like the repo you added for openoffice (to get version 3 beta I presume) is giving you the message. You can install without incident.
[10:50] <onats> !net
[10:50] <onats> how do i do a net install?
[10:50] <zhai> would somebody help me?
[10:51] <kmg_> troubled: it seemed like the only errors I was getting were in /var, for instance I tried doing sudo dpkg --configure -a and it said some section of /var was read-only
[10:51] <fde> zhai: sudo aptitude install ubuntu-restricted-extras ... it'll set you up with most everything you'll need codecs and plugins wise
[10:52] <troubled> kmg_: whats your free space look like anyways?
[10:52] <troubled> kmg_: df -h /
[10:52] <zhai> but i cant watch any anime on crunchyroll
[10:52] <kanhiya78> Hikefu: can i install all of them
[10:52] <kmg_> 1.6G
[10:52] <Hikefu> kanhiya78, yes, you can install them
[10:52] <troubled> kmg_: well, kinda low, but still not zero :/
[10:52] <kmg_> yeah
[10:52] <kmg_> can't delete mah pr0nz
[10:53] <troubled> kmg_: lol
[10:53] <kmg_> if I gotta delete mah pr0nz what's the point of fixing it?
[10:53] <nickh> zhai: Which Flash Player would you like to use?  You can find the Adobe/Macromedia version or the GTK version in the Package Manager in Ubuntu.
[10:53] <troubled> kmg_: hmm, you said you have a half install?
[10:53] <kmg_> yeah
[10:53] <zhai> adobe...
[10:53] <fde> nickh: he wants to use adobe's... I already told him to install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[10:53] <troubled> kmg_: try that dpkg command now in single user mode and see what it says
[10:53] <zhai> GTK?
[10:53] <fde> zhai: do as I said
[10:53] <kanhiya78> Hikefu: many people on this channel says that ooo3 has not been tested yet and i should not install  it
[10:53] <zhai> i think im not using tat version of ubuntu...
[10:54] <kmg_> okay lemme get back into that
[10:54] <zhai> can i download it fde?
[10:54] <Hikefu> kanhiya78, well it is a beta and it is doubtful that there is anything you need in it that it pressing. I'd stick with OO2 personally.
[10:54] <zhai> or were can i download it?
[10:54] <fde> zhai: what version of Ubuntu are you using?
[10:54] <fde> zhai: Applications > Accessories > Terminal  and type what I said  :/
[10:54] <zhai> i really dunno.. my prof just install it here
[10:54] <Hikefu> kanhiya78, though if you don't mind the occasional crash until the kinks are worked out, it shouldn't be a problem.
[10:55] <zhai> ill try it fde.. thnxs
[10:55] <ActionParsnip> yo yo yo
[10:55] <Codemaster|Mobil> okay, so i'm attempting to remove a package and, for the life of me, I am unable to remove it - I keep getting these "subprocess post-removal script returned error exit status 2" errors
[10:55] <kanhiya78> Hikefu: how to get rid of these notifications
[10:55] <kanhiya78> Hikefu: i do not want to install ooo3
[10:55]  * fde hates arguing with n00bs... why can't they just do as they're told?!?
[10:55] <ActionParsnip> Codemaster|Mobil: what command are you using to get that error?
[10:55] <Codemaster|Mobil> anyone have any idea how I can forcably remove the package or something? I've already tried --force-remove-essential or whatnot as a parameter to dpkg
[10:56] <Codemaster|Mobil> ActionParsnip: the current command I was attempting was sudo aptitude purge gjdoc
[10:56] <Hikefu> kanhiya78, you can edit your /etc/apt/sources.list and either remove the line for openoffice 3 or comment it out with a #
[10:56] <ActionParsnip> Codemaster|Mobil: try sudo apt-get --purge remove gjdoc
[10:56] <fde> Codemaster|Mobil: what is the output of dpkg -P --force-all <package> ?
[10:56] <Hikefu> kanhiya78, then sudo apt-get update and you're set
[10:56] <ActionParsnip> !info gjdoc
[10:56] <kanhiya78> Hikefu: now i got a message that i can install only 10 updates
[10:57] <sidewalk> anyone using Google Gadgets under Ubuntu 8.10?
[10:57] <Codemaster|Mobil> fde: subprocess post-removal script returned error exit status 2

[10:57] <kmg_> trouble: root# dpkg --configure -a / dpkg: unable to access dpkg status area: Read-only file system
[10:57] <Hikefu> kanhiya78, well it may be that the oo3 source had the updates
[10:57] <Codemaster|Mobil> ActionParsnip: same error
[10:57] <ActionParsnip> Codemaster|Mobil: try sudo apt-get -f install; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get --purge remove gjdoc
[10:57] <troubled> jdk1976: p2p? jigdo?
[10:57] <ActionParsnip> jdk1976: if you want the Ubuntu ISO, get it via torrents
[10:57] <radoen> hello
[10:58] <Hikefu> kanhiya78, then just install those and you should be good to go.
[10:58] <Codemaster|Mobil> ActionParsnip: the sudo apt-get -f install provides me with the same error
[10:58] <ActionParsnip> jdk1976: bit more information please
[10:58] <zhai> yo fde..
[10:58] <jdk1976> thanks guys. good idea
[10:58] <zhai> no adobe flashplayer was found
[10:58] <kanhiya78> Hikefu:  problem solved by unchecking three options from software sources and all of them was checked
[10:58] <Codemaster|Mobil> zhai: sudo aptitude install flashplayer-nonfree
[10:58] <radoen> i've problem whit acpi on my asus laptop, battery status is unknow and i cant trim lcd's

[10:59] <fde> zhai: ok... then go to System > Administration > Software Sources and make sure all boxes in the first tab are checked
[10:59] <Codemaster|Mobil> ActionParsnip, fde: so yeah, i'm kind of stuck
[10:59] <zhai> is tat the code?
[10:59] <Codemaster|Mobil> ActionParsnip: same thing
[10:59] <erbi> troubled: I have the 177.80 version of NVIDIA driver, and i tried installing 177.82 but I do not think 177.82 is installed properly. In my nvidia-settings , the NVIDIA driver version says its 177.80 while the OPENGL version is 177.82
[10:59] <kanhiya78> Hikefu: i checked only community maintained and canonical supported options
[10:59] <ActionParsnip> Codemaster|Mobil: can you give me the output of the sudo dpkg -P command please
[10:59] <fde> Codemaster|Mobil: you can make the postrm script just exit ... but idk if I should be telling anyone how to do that in here...
[11:00] <Codemaster|Mobil> fde: yeah i was tempted to do that
[11:00] <Codemaster|Mobil> ActionParsnip: subprocess post-removal script returned error exit status 2; same as always
[11:00] <kanhiya78> Hikefu:  can i check properitary drivers for devices
[11:00] <ActionParsnip> Codemaster|Mobil: thats all?
[11:00] <Hikefu> and zhai, it is adobe-flashplugin
[11:01] <fde> Codemaster|Mobil: can you throw the contents of /var/lib/dpkg/info/package.postrm up onto a pastebin?
[11:01] <Codemaster|Mobil> ActionParsnip: well, it mentions it's having issues removing gjdocs and that is the reason why it is unable to remove it; there is nothing really special otherwise
[11:01] <Hikefu> kanhiya78, you can if you don't mind using proprietary drivers
[11:01] <Codemaster|Mobil> fde: sure
[11:01] <nickh> radoen: Yeah, I've had some issues with ACPI and the R-Mode nVidia (177) drivers also -- Shutdown does not work quite right, however Suspend/Sleep does.  Go Figure.
[11:01] <fde> Codemaster|Mobil: where package is the package in question of course
[11:01] <Hikefu> kanhiya78, some people object for various reasons, to support opensource for instance
[11:01] <kanhiya78> Hikefu: ok thanks for help
[11:01] <Hikefu> kanhiya78, np.

[11:02] <_coredump_> mahlzeit
[11:02] <ActionParsnip> Codemaster|Mobil: replace the octopussy with gjdoc (or whatever)
[11:02] <Codemaster|Mobil> fde: ah, i see; it's calling rebuild-gcj-db, which might be an issue in that I am removing/reinstalling gcj ;)

[11:04] <nickh> radoen: I was saying that I have had ACPI issues as well - I have a Sager NP-3880V laptop with Intrepid & nVidia (177) drivers.
[11:04] <radoen> and all works fine?
[11:04] <kmg_> troubled: W: Not using locking for read only lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock              /              E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
[11:05] <Codemaster|Mobil> ActionParsnip: your thing seemd to do the trick, yup
[11:05] <fde> Codemaster|Mobil: you can go ahead and just comment the if fi statement and try again....
[11:05] <ActionParsnip> Codemaster|Mobil: which one?
[11:05] <Codemaster|Mobil> fde: yeah, ActionParsnip's link did the trick
[11:05] <Codemaster|Mobil> commenting out the "set -e" line
[11:05] <troubled> kmg_: ls -l /var/lib/dpkg/lock
[11:05] <Codemaster|Mobil> hm, i wonder what set -e even does.....
[11:05] <ActionParsnip> Codemaster|Mobil: awesome
[11:05] <Codemaster|Mobil> ActionParsnip: thanks :D
[11:05] <ActionParsnip> Codemaster|Mobil: man sh ;)
[11:05] <Codemaster|Mobil> ActionParsnip: true ;x
[11:05] <ActionParsnip> Codemaster|Mobil: or man set
[11:06] <fde> Most all postrm scripts have that line... weird it would be the reason... oh well
[11:06] <nickh> radoen: At the moment, no, all is not fine - everything works EXCEPT Soft-Shutdown. I am investigating the issue, I will post my findings here when I have some answers.
[11:06] <ActionParsnip> Codemaster|Mobil: or man its fixed leave it alone :D
[11:06] <Codemaster|Mobil> ah i see, if it isn't interactive, just kills itself
[11:06] <Codemaster|Mobil> is the -e
[11:06] <nickh> radoen: Just wanted to let you know that you are not the only one.
[11:06] <Codemaster|Mobil> quite interesting :o
[11:06] <kmg_> troubled: -rw-r----- 1 root root 0 <date/time> /var/lib/dpkg/lock
[11:06] <ActionParsnip> well im glad we got there
[11:07] <ActionParsnip> packages are handybut you can really get unstuck if the organisation becomes corrupted
[11:07] <erbi> I have the 177.80 version of NVIDIA driver, and i tried installing 177.82 but I do not think 177.82 is installed properly. In my nvidia-settings , the NVIDIA driver version says its 177.80 while the OPENGL version is 177.82
[11:07] <fde> Actually, his link says to just replace the /bin/sh -e line with just /bin/sh ... not remove set -e ... I'm confused, but whatever, I'll get over it  :P

[11:08] <radoen> ok
[11:09] <Codemaster|Mobil> yerchin: what kind of error does it provide and what is the content ;P
[11:09] <ActionParsnip> yerchin: mount it so you have execte permissions, or copy the data to HDD and run it from there
[11:09] <yerchin> How do I mount it?
[11:09] <ActionParsnip> !mount
[11:09] <Codemaster|Mobil> ActionParsnip probably has more of an idea than i do, rather, haha

[11:10] <troubled> kmg_: https://stage.maemo.org/svn/maemo/projects/haf/trunk/dpkg/lib/dbmodify.c  suggests that error is from an EACCESS error, but you are root and the perms look fine. unless they have some sort of lock file :/
[11:10] <ActionParsnip> if more people seeded itd be faster
[11:10] <deus__> im on intrepid offcurse
[11:10] <yerchin> No errors either, I just can't open it.
[11:10] <jdk1976> it's a torrent i fpound on the ubuntu site itself  http://torrent.ubuntu.com/simple/intrepid/alternate/

[11:11] <ActionParsnip> jdk1976: make sure you download the md5sum and check it
[11:11] <yerchin> I don't know what else it could be if WINE doesn't execute it but has done so with every other CD
[11:11] <jdk1976> k
[11:11] <ActionParsnip> !md5 | jdk
[11:11] <fde> jdk1976: not many people use the alternate install cd... so it won't have many seeders at all... best to just grab it from a regular ftp site probably...
[11:11] <kmg_> HMM
[11:11] <jdk1976> 53 seeds for this torrent
[11:11] <troubled> kmg_: what about "aptitude install"?

[11:12] <zhai> guys.. where can i download the latest version of ubuntu?
[11:12] <fde> kmg_: are you running synaptic or the add/remove tool or anything else when you're trying this command? only one apt frontend can run at a time...
[11:12] <jdk1976> I'm going to show her what a real os can do
[11:12] <vega> hm, i have 2 users on intrepid, one that's logged in X, when i try to "switch user" to the other one it says it cannot start X, why? i mean if X is already running fine, what config is the other one trying to use??
[11:12] <yerchin> what do I type in command line to get that?
[11:12] <ne2k__> jdk1976: you mean Windows Vista?
[11:13] <troubled> kmg_: curious, what happens when you run: touch /var/lib/dpkg/lock

[11:13] <r3dxp> hello, I disabled gdm so my box starts up in console. When I login through console and before i type startx to start x server, i wish to have my wireless connection and all my network connections to run on startup. Current setting is configured so that all my network connections (network-manager) are loaded after startx is executed.
[11:13] <Codemaster|Mobil> jdk1976: just don't erae any of her data ;)
[11:13] <jdk1976> i can't tell you how many windows vista machines i've turned into gutsy machinies
[11:13] <fde> zhai: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/8.10/release/  should probably grab the torrent if you have a client for it.
[11:13] <Luke771> jdk1976: geeks DO use the alternate install (it's way quicker than the Live CD + GUI install thingy), and even tho Ubuntu isn't a real-geek distro, the alternate install is very popular among experienced users, so if you don't get seeders, something must be wrong with your bittorrent setp.... or more simply, you just need to let it run until it catches some seeders
[11:13] <r3dxp> how do i change it so that my wireless connection works as soon as the computer boots normally ?
[11:13] <ActionParsnip> r3dxp: then you need to configure wifi in /etc/network/interfaces
[11:13] <troubled> erbi: sorry, not sure what your problem is, so stop reapeating it to me in every channel :p
[11:14] <erbi> sorry
[11:14] <Codemaster|Mobil> jdk1976: possibly a router issue, as well, concerning the torrent
[11:14] <kmg_> troubled: it gives me the same "you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a'" message twice, once at the beginning and once at the end of aptitude install, in the middle it goes from "Reading package lists... Done" to "Initializing package states... Done"

[11:19] <ikonia> kmg_ can you please do mount /dev/sda1 -o rw /mnt please
[11:20] <troubled> < kmg_> troubled: /dev/sda1 on / type ext3 (rw,errors=remount-ro)
[11:20] <yerchin> ActionParsnip: http://paste.ubuntu.com/73808/
[11:20] <r3dxp> but i wish to automatically connect to my router on startup BEFORE i execute the command startx to load x server
[11:20] <erUSUL> r3dxp: click on it. Do you see your ap in the menu ?
[11:20] <kmg_> cannot touch /root/test: read-only file system
[11:20] <ikonia> troubled on error remount-ro
[11:20] <jdk1976> ...and god created torrents
[11:20] <troubled> ikonia: i see that, but mount should be reporting accurately, and it says rw
[11:20] <erUSUL> r3dxp: it should appear with a bar showing the signal strengh
[11:20] <troubled> oh nm, thats not a full paste
[11:20] <ikonia> kmg_: please do "mount -o rw /dev/sda1 /mnt"
[11:20] <r3dxp> yes
[11:21] <erUSUL> r3dxp: click on it
[11:21] <r3dxp> and ?
[11:21] <troubled> kmg_: might i suggest: mount -o remount,rw /
[11:21] <erUSUL> it should try to connect to that ap/network
[11:21] <samson_> hello
[11:21] <fde> zhai: you get what I said? got disconnected briefly...
[11:21] <ikonia> troubled stick it on a /mnt mount point first to ovoid any overlap courrption (if there was any damage)
[11:22] <ikonia> avoid even
[11:22] <r3dxp> erUSUL: you are misunderstanding my question, what i am asking is, i want my wireless connection to work on normal boot, BEFORE i run startx to load x server
[11:22] <ikonia> r3dxp put the settings in your inetrfaces file then
[11:22] <troubled> ikonia: his on it now though, so you would want a bind mount in that case
[11:22] <zhai> fde: yeah.. im about to download it now.. but im having a hard time downloadingit
[11:23] <troubled> kmg_: anyways, after you mount/remount it, try touch again
[11:23] <ikonia> torgrim_: as it's read only you shouldn't have to bind mount (fingers crossed)
[11:23] <ikonia> troubled: sorry for you
[11:23] <r3dxp> where can i find settings?
[11:23] <ikonia> r3dxp: in your interfaces file
[11:23] <troubled> ikonia: ya np. odd that its reporting no errors on fsck and its reporting mounted as rw atm
[11:23] <fde> zhai: what is the issue?
[11:23] <troubled> ikonia: somethin isn't right either way
[11:23] <samson_> n=bartosz@87-205-11-36.ip.netia.com.pl
[11:23] <r3dxp> yeah, but where do i include the SSID / pw to the wireless network ?
[11:23] <ikonia> troubled: depends what the error is, may not be a file system corruption error, could be no inodes
[11:23] <ActionParsnip> r3dxp: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/setting-up-an-network-interfaces-file/
[11:24] <ikonia> troubled: df -i is your friend ;)
[11:24] <r3dxp> thanks
[11:24] <r3dxp> ill look
[11:24] <troubled> ikonia: aye, but that would still report 0% to him iirc
[11:24] <ikonia> yes, I suppose that would come up as a space issue
[11:24] <ikonia> unless - it can't write to /var due to space at boot time so mounts it read-only
[11:24] <troubled> kmg_: probably best to give us the exact output of "df -hi /"
[11:25] <troubled> ive never seen a full disk remount ro though for space
[11:25] <ikonia> troubled I've see it for specific logging issues
[11:25] <ikonia> never on ubuntu though
[11:25] <troubled> anyways, time to narrow it down some more
[11:25] <fde> r3dxp: System > Preferences > Network Configuration ... edit the wireless connection and add it to there
[11:26] <troubled> he did mention he had _alot_ of pr0n though heh
[11:26] <ActionParsnip> fde: he's in single user mode so that wont come into play
[11:26] <fde> People underestimate the benefits of smart partitioning.... really hate that Ubuntu by default dumps everything into /
[11:27] <kmg_> ikonia: actually, everything I touch says read-only file system
[11:27] <kmg_> ikonia: but if I do like `touch /root' it says touch: setting times of `root': read-only file system
[11:27] <kmg_> I can't write to anything
[11:27] <kmg_> oops
[11:27] <kmg_> ls
[11:27] <FloodBot2> kmg_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[11:27] <kmg_> i can't mkdir /test
[11:27] <Frogzoo> fde: separate /home should be default
[11:27] <fde> Frogzoo: yes, but it isn't  :(
[11:27] <troubled> kmg_: can you type out the output of "df -hi /" for us plz?
[11:28] <kmg_> sorry im having connectivity problems
[11:28] <fde> ActionParsnip: wait, r3dxp and kmg_ are in single user mode?
[11:28] <YOSI> Hi
[11:28] <troubled> ikonia: also, the error for dpkg source says that error msg is an EACCESS
[11:28] <YOSI> Anybody here is using jdownloader???
[11:28] <ikonia> troubled can't write to /var - so no surprise
[11:28] <zhai> i think i cnt download it.. im having some connection problems
[11:28] <troubled> ya true
[11:29] <YOSI>  Anybody here is using jdownloader???
[11:29] <fde> zhai: ugh, then just grab the regular iso file for i386 ... you might be using a version of Ubuntu that didn't have a torrent client
[11:29] <troubled> im debating of a "mount -o remount,ro /" and running another fsck though
[11:29] <fde> !repeat @ YOSI
[11:29] <troubled> well, pending the output of df
[11:29] <fde> !repeat > YOSI
[11:29] <kmg_> troubled: I did mount -o remount,rw / and now it's not read-only, I ran dpkg --configure -a and it seems to be working
[11:29] <ActionParsnip> fde: dont worry i gave him a guide to edit the interfaces file
[11:30] <troubled> kmg_: hmm, well thats good. but odd that mount reported it as rw before
[11:30] <YOSI>  Anybody here is using jdownloader??
[11:30] <fde> YOSI: stop repeating... no one is using it  :/
[11:30] <erUSUL> troubled: heard once that output of "mount" command can not be trusted it is better to check "cat /proc/mounts"
[11:31] <K_Dallas> Good morning folks! Recently my mplayer (ubuntu hardy) didn't produce any audio output and I reinstalled the packaged in the hope to solve the problem (it used to work just fine) with no avail. Then I used -ao esd and voila! It was all right. Isn't it supposed to use alsa?
[11:31] <troubled> erUSUL: ya, just thought about that
[11:31] <sKeiths> does 'apt-get install ee' work for anyone? version 8.10 - i'm getting 'E: Couldn't find package ee'
[11:31] <erUSUL> K_Dallas: no esd is allright. pulseaudio is compatible with esd
[11:31] <fde> K_Dallas: its supposed to use pulseaudio ... which has esd support
[11:31] <erUSUL> !pulseaudio | K_Dallas
[11:32] <troubled> erUSUL: still, the odd thing is that he ran an fsck without error, so it shouldnt have came up. and clearly it wasnt a space problem since he is using it now fine
[11:32] <fde> K_Dallas: you can make that permanent in /etc/mplayer/config (I think that's where?)
[11:32] <kmg_> troubled: its running dpkg on tons of stuff, i'm gonna switch over to x-chat because empathy is totally sucking right now and once its done ill write up my df -hi
[11:32] <K_Dallas> thanks erUSUL but it used to be working fine without me fixing the -ao, now i have to set the audioout put otherwise it owuldnt work
[11:32] <K_Dallas> fde, true
[11:32] <kmg_> brb
[11:32] <erUSUL> troubled: i did not follow the issue closely...
[11:33] <troubled> kmg_: well, if its running, its not likely inode issue
[11:33] <fde> K_Dallas: probably nothing else was occupying the devices before when you ran mplayer...
[11:33] <K_Dallas> fde, I see
[11:33] <erUSUL> K_Dallas: maybe somehow the ~/.mplayer/config changed?
[11:33] <troubled> kinda hard to get the poor guy to go through the logs to try find the error though. especially since he cant pastebin
[11:34] <erUSUL> K_Dallas: in mine i have ao=pulse
[11:34] <YOSI> please anyone willing to help?
[11:34] <K_Dallas> erUSUL, i see. i am going to look into the config right now
[11:35] <fde> YOSI: maybe if you ask a question more developed than "anyone using jdownloader"...
[11:35] <troubled> erUSUL: iirc, mount displays from /etc/mtab, but that would still mean that the system was ro from the start, but shouldnt have happened on a clean fs unless something happened on startup
[11:35] <r3dxp> how do i setup my wireless connection & router login info to my /etc/network/interfaces ?
[11:35] <troubled> oh well, least its working. just very odd behaviour given his symptoms
[11:36] <K_Dallas> erUSUL, in the config file in my home directory, there was nothing, in the global setting here is what it says:
[11:36] <K_Dallas> ao=pulse,alsa,
[11:36] <K_Dallas> should i change it to: ao = sdl:esd
[11:36] <kmg_> troubled: i think it was the ubuntu recovery mode thing
[11:36] <fde> r3dxp: look in man interfaces ... then type /Examples  ... I believe there is one that is exactly what you need
[11:37] <YOSI> well i installed the jdownloader...it uses java so in installed a .jar file... but i dont know how to run the program since there is not any link in the meno or the desktop
[11:37] <kmg_> troubled: i'm pretty sure i was able to write to the drive before I ran that and went into single-user mode
[11:37] <troubled> kmg_: possibly. never used it before though
[11:37] <YOSI> i dont know ho to make a link to this program
[11:37] <fde> YOSI: jar whatever.jar
[11:37] <kmg_> troubled: and I got to it by doing init 1
[11:37] <YOSI> what?
[11:37] <fde> YOSI: that is how you run the .jar
[11:37] <regebro> Hmm. I don't know much about sound, but should there really be an ALC889 codec with my Intel ICH8 card? (MacBook).
[11:37] <troubled> kmg_: did it finish yet?
[11:37] <erUSUL> K_Dallas: no; pulse,alsa seems like a good setting for me
[11:38] <erUSUL> K_Dallas: not sure why it fails
[11:38] <YOSI> i run the jar already and installed
[11:38] <kmg_> troubled: it's still going.  it's probably gotta do like half the 8.04 -> 8.10 upgrade packages =P
[11:38] <YOSI> but i want to run the program....should i run the jar again??
[11:38] <K_Dallas> erUSUL, darn! now I have to use -ao esd each time I use mplayer
[11:38] <troubled> kmg_: ooh, well hope you got the space hehe
[11:38] <fde> YOSI: ok... java executables are all in .jar format... so you have to do the same for the program itself
[11:39] <kmg_> troubled: and of course I'm in single user mode so I can't access the other ttys
[11:39] <YOSI> ok, but where is the program installed?
[11:39] <kmg_> troubled: yeah, im pretty sure I do
[11:39] <troubled> kmg_: well, you could have started another tty, but thats okay :)
[11:39] <fde> YOSI: no idea... sudo updatedb && locate jdownloader
[11:39] <sKeiths> If there is no ee package. how best for me to install ee?
[11:40] <YOSI> thanks will try that
[11:40] <r3dxp> fde : what do i do with /usr/share/doc/ifupdown/examples/net-interfaces.gz ?
[11:40]  * Mustinet`aFk is away: Gone away for now
[11:40] <gynterk> hello, latest ubuntu, how to get PHP working with PDF support?
[11:40] <troubled> fde: updatedb as root isnt a great idea btw. it will index dir's that normally would be hidden or stripped
[11:40] <gynterk> any packages for that purpose?
[11:40] <bazhang> !away > Mustinet`aFk
[11:41] <lianimator1> !away > lianimator1
[11:41] <kmg_> troubled: thanks for the help by the way, hopefully all this mess will be miraculously fixed once i finish the dist-upgrade
[11:41] <kmg_> troubled: i'm pretty sure that my x configuration is just all messed up from the half-install
[11:42] <kmg_> ikonia: thank you as well
[11:42] <troubled> fde: should be: sudo /etc/cron.daily/find   or source /etc/updatedb.conf first
[11:42] <ikonia> kmg_: you guys got there on your own
[11:42] <C0p3rn1c> how does sat tv work on the pc/linux ?
[11:43] <fde> r3dxp: ahhh... they moves it... open that via zcat (although here it says its not there  :/ )
[11:43] <shirish> hi all, dumb question on ubuntu we use bash or sh as shell? also how to find out what shell am I using?
[11:43] <troubled> kmg_: well, i would take a look through your dmesg and syslog's for a possible messages as to what causes the mount ro on error in the first place
[11:43] <fde> troubled: you can't updatedb as a normal user unless they changed that recently....
[11:43] <C0p3rn1c> I recently installed a dreambox(decoder device that runs linux), it can decode sat tv without a card??
[11:43] <fde> troubled: cron runs it daily already though
[11:43] <troubled> fde: ya, use sudo still, just dont run updatedb directly unless you sourced the conf for the env vars first
[11:44] <troubled> fde: if you run updatedb (on debian at least) as root, it will index all the stuff normal users cant see for security reasons
[11:44] <ChrisBeswick> hi, i was in here yesterday looking for help setting up a remote control with my computer. sadly no one knew what i was talking about, but i did manage to finally work it out. from the forums it seems a few people have had this problem, with no real answers, so is there a place i can put a "howto" to help people in the same situation as i found myself?
[11:44] <troubled> ie: everything
[11:44] <erUSUL> shirish: dash is default sh in ubuntu
[11:44] <kmg_> troubled: i'll do that
[11:44] <shirish> erUSUL: how did you found out?
[11:44] <troubled> kmg_: this isn't the first time thats happened?
[11:44] <jim_p> hello
[11:45] <u7pL> end_request: I/O error, dev sr0 sector 1431176 * what is this ?
[11:45] <pw-toxic> ölaksdjföalskdjföalskdjf
[11:45] <fde> troubled: not entirely sure why that's a bad thing... still can't access the files...
[11:45] <pw-toxic> sry ;)
[11:45] <erUSUL> shirish: i knew it but do "ls -l $(which sh)"
[11:45] <shirish> erUSUL: also are shell and terminal same or different things
[11:45] <kmg_> troubled: first time it's happened like this before.  I've had to fsck my disk before when my processor overheated
[11:45] <rconan> is it possible to do the jack retasking on Realtek audio under linux?
[11:46] <erUSUL> shirish: i spect knew users to get bash by default as login shell. i use zsh
[11:46] <troubled> fde: but they may not know the files exist in the first place. plus you also index potentionally millions of more files on removable media and stuff that wouldnt otherwise be pruned
[11:46] <kmg_> troubled: there were just a bunch of things foing on at once this time
[11:46] <zhai> fde.. i havent download them yet,,
[11:46] <shirish> erUSUL: on my system it shows dash as linked from /bin/sh
[11:46] <erUSUL> shirish: like in any other ubuntu out there. i told you :)
[11:47] <zhai> um btw guys.. is ubuntu possible to acquire some virus?
[11:47] <troubled> zhai: sure, likely? no
[11:47] <zhai> is there any antivirus applicable here?
[11:47] <ikonia> zhai: it is possible, but the definition of virus's is not what you'd expect on a windows platform
[11:47] <troubled> a virus is just a malicious program after all
[11:48] <ChrisBeswick> it could get one, but its not likely, the usage is low, and the technical expertise of the users is generally higher that windows, so mostly virus writers don't bother
[11:48] <ikonia> zamba: there is anyivirus applications, but to be honest for linux based fil systems they are mostly redundent due tot he different way "virus" or exploits workk
[11:48] <fde> zhai: you can use anti-virus software sure... mostly to protect your windows using friends though
[11:48] <troubled> zhai: chances are you would get a rootkit on *nix instead of a virus
[11:48] <fde> zhai: viruses are much less effective on Linux boxes... even less effective if you have something like selinux
[11:48] <kmg_> haha, yeah, gotta scan your own attachments before you forward emails
[11:49] <zhai> oh  know i know
[11:49] <Ximal> anyone here know how to install vmware ? i can't find it like i used to be able to as they took it from the repositories ... even the vmachine player..
[11:50] <zhai> im just confused bec im about to connect my fone on my pc but im afraid it could get out of it
[11:50] <fde> Ximal: it was removed because its non-free and virtualbox is reported to be faster by many... not to mention kvm
[11:50] <jim_p> Ximal: download it from vmware and install it
[11:51] <Ximal> whats kvm ? and itried but they don't have a deb file anymore since ubuntu doesn't carry it anymore ... kindof wierd
[11:51] <erUSUL> !kvm
[11:51] <shirish> erUSUL: is there any difference between shell and terminal or its the same thing given two names?
[11:51] <konglingyun> #ubuntu-cn
[11:52] <ChrisBeswick> is vmware still in the canonical commercial repostitory?
[11:53] <Sektor__> troubled, remember the issue with the shared libraries this morning
[11:53] <troubled> Sektor__: ya, how that go for ya?
[11:53] <zamba> ikonia: there is? cool :)
[11:53] <jim_p> ChrisBeswick: nope
[11:53] <ikonia> zamba sorry, that wasn't for you
[11:53] <erUSUL> shirish: well the shell is the interpreter of commands and scripts the terminal was the phisicall monitor+keyboard nowadays there exist only virtual terminals (VT) and terminal emulators (xterm; gnome-terminal etc)
[11:53] <zamba> ikonia: i know :)
[11:53] <ChrisBeswick> well that stops me giving that advice then :D
[11:54] <jim_p> lol
[11:54] <Sektor__> troubled, I asked a colleague who's pretty smart when it comes to linux issues, but he had to dig for an hour or so, and according to him, in linux the variables are shared, opposed to windows where each dll will have it's own copy of the global var
[11:54] <erUSUL> shirish: but many people use both terms and others to refer to the comand line interface of unix
[11:54] <Sektor__> troubled, you can modify this behaviour with the -fvisibility-ms-compat flag
[11:54] <sKeiths> is there anyway I can use the 7.10 apt-get package database for 8.10?
[11:54] <troubled> Sektor__: interesting that MS duplicates them and linux doesnt
[11:55] <Sektor__> troubled, but you than have to export your functions: #define EXPORT __attribute__((visibility("default")))
[11:55] <fde> sKeiths: no
[11:55] <monadwr> sKeiths: Why would you want to?
[11:55] <SlimeyPete> sKeiths: not really. You'll wind up with package dependency problems.
[11:55] <sKeiths> trying to get 'ee' which is in 7.10
[11:55] <fde> sKeiths: well, correction, you can, but you'd have to re-compile everything, the binaries wouldn't work
[11:55] <shirish> hi all, keyboard stuff if CR stands for Carriage Return what would  LF and NL stand for?
[11:55] <troubled> Sektor__: I suppose MS approach is to work around namespace issues or something perhaps?
[11:55] <Sektor__> troubled, I was surprised too, this is definitely a recipe for disaster when porting applications
[11:55] <monadwr> shirish: Line Feed, and NL is probably new line.
[11:56] <troubled> Sektor__: ya, ive seen some of the junk you gotta go through when dealing with multi OS apps heh
[11:56] <fde> sKeiths: you can add a 7.10 source repo... then apt-get -b source ee -t <whatever_7.10_codename_was>
[11:56] <juanitos> sadfasdf
[11:56] <Sektor__> troubled, I think it's just a different approach, in MS default visibility is hidden, whereas in linux default visibility is to export everything
[11:57] <troubled> Sektor__: probably could have found that out in the gcc manpage, but god knows thats a week long read :)
[11:57] <sKeiths> thanks fde. i'll try that now
[11:57] <troubled> Sektor__: i figure they hide stuff so they dev's dont have to worry about conflicts in naming or something
[11:57] <Sektor__> troubled, yeah, I went through a bunch of documentation, but the problem is very specific (not a lot of ppl had a ready answer) so I gave up, I'm too busy to delve deep into it
[11:58] <omegaomni> hello?
[11:58] <fde> !hello | omegaomni
[11:58] <Sektor__> troubled, in this case I don't think it's a lazy work around, I believe they just have a different idea about a 'shared library'
[11:58] <omegaomni> im in need of some assistance.
[11:58] <fde> omegaomni: great, tell us some details of the issue you're experiencing and we'll try to assist you.
[11:59] <Sektor__> troubled, in windows (as far as I know, I'm not an authority on this issue) there is not a lot of difference between applications and dll's, linkage wise anyways
[11:59] <omegaomni> thanks...my login screen service doesnt start...is there any way to start it during terminal?
[11:59] <transporter> hello
[11:59] <ablyss[mobile]> anybody use blue soleil
[12:00] <fde> omegaomni: type: /etc/init.d/gdm restart ... any difference? if it still doesn't work, we'll look at the logs
[12:00] <omegaomni> thanks...ima write that down
[12:01] <jim_p> ablyss[mobile]: me, in windows
[12:01] <Transporter> guys anyone here uses gnome???
[12:01] <rconan> omegaomni, you'll have to use sudo for that
[12:01] <fde> Transporter: nope, no one... except those that do
[12:01] <ablyss[mobile]> jim_p: nice me too.  I haven't tried the linux version yet though, you?
[12:01] <Sektor__> troubled, when linking a DLL in windows, everything is resolved and the result is some binary dll, whereas in linux you still have the concept of a library
[12:01] <Kartagis> Transporter, yes
[12:01] <jim_p> ablyss[mobile]: does it have a linux version too?
[12:01] <Transporter> i needed some help getting started
[12:01] <fde> rconan: ahh, forgot that
[12:02] <ablyss[mobile]> jim_p: yes but trail version only ( limited to 5mbits before disconnecting )
[12:02] <jim_p> Transporter: 99% of the people in here are in gnome i guess :P
[12:02] <Transporter> well im basically new to linux
[12:02] <TTilus> i'd like rhythmbox to transcode to mp3 when i throw music into my player.  i've selected mp3 as preferred format from settings but still rhythmbox transcodes to ogg.  :-/
[12:02] <inflex> is there a NFS share/export management tool for Ubuntu ?
[12:02] <jim_p> ablyss[mobile]: let me look
[12:02] <Transporter> i dunno much I knw too much of winsucks
[12:02] <inflex> (so I can share various directories to other Ubuntu boxes)
[12:02] <Transporter> where should i start from????
[12:03] <jim_p> ablyss[mobile]: do you need it for something particular?
[12:03] <TTilus> inflex: would sshfs do what you want?
[12:03] <jim_p> Transporter: synaptic is the best place to start!
[12:03] <Sektor__> inflex, I believe SAMBA can help you with that
[12:03] <wiwin> adhian
[12:03] <Transporter> im just a bit confused
[12:03] <craigtao> hello
[12:03] <Sektor__> inflex, but that might be for the other way around, to access ubuntu box from windows
[12:03] <inflex> No, I need to use NFS.  Bah, no matter, I'll hack it up in the /etc/exports file... just thought maybe Ubuntu would have something specific
[12:03] <ablyss[mobile]> jim_p: no not really. Just trying to get an idea if people use it on linux
[12:04] <Transporter> some ppl are saying that xfce or flux box should be for starters
[12:04] <inflex> It's Ubuntu->Ubuntu  and many other *nix machines
[12:04] <TTilus> inflex: check shares-admin
[12:04] <Sektor__> ah
[12:04] <jim_p> ablyss[mobile]: i checked on their site and it says its for 2 eepcs
[12:04] <TTilus> inflex: or just right-click on folder and select "share"
[12:04] <Transporter> will i encounter problems if i try with gnome first
[12:04] <rconan> Transporter, if you're new using ubuntu with gnome is probably best
[12:05] <rconan> Transporter, most of the easy-to-use bits of ubuntu work best on GNOMe
[12:05] <Transporter> ooohhh is that so???
[12:05] <jim_p> Transporter: xfce is for slower pcs, because xfce is lighter than gnome. anything in *box requires you to be a bit adept with linux and configurations
[12:05] <fde> Transporter: its more a case of system resources, gnome is designed for beginners
[12:05] <wisey> how do i get grub to recognise my vista installation. atm its only recognising ubuntu on the second disk!
[12:05] <shirish> hi all, is there a command or way to find out the capabilities of xterm?
[12:05] <jim_p> Transporter: what pc are you on?
[12:05] <jim_p> shirish: all the commands?
[12:05] <Transporter> lenovo y510
[12:05] <asines> hi! does anyone know - if there is any soft in linux for dj-mixing??
[12:05] <Transporter> laptop
[12:05] <fde> wisey: look in /boot/grub/menu.lst ... it should have an example Windows entry... uncomment it and try it
[12:06] <jim_p> asines: i had seen one a few days ago, wait
[12:06] <fde> Transporter: more precisely...
[12:06] <jim_p> Transporter: cpu, ram in it?
[12:06] <shirish> jim_p: basically need info. about how much buffer is therein and stuff like that.
[12:06] <Transporter> core 2 duo 2gb
[12:06] <fde> Transporter: then Gnome will be fine
[12:06] <rconan> gnome will run fine and is almost definitely the easiest
[12:06] <asines> jim_p: oh nice. i'm waiting
[12:06] <jim_p> asines: mixxx    http://www.mixxx.org/     i think its in the repos
[12:07] <Transporter> i wiped out winsucks vista and loaded ubuntu
[12:07] <jim_p> Transporter: gnome will run perfectly on it
[12:07] <Transporter> i got bugged with vista
[12:07] <asines> jim_p: thanx!
[12:07] <Transporter> perfect
[12:07] <jim_p> asines: yes it is!!!
[12:07] <TTilus> i'd like rhythmbox to transcode to mp3 when i throw music into my player.  i've selected mp3 as preferred format from settings but still rhythmbox transcodes to ogg.  :-/
[12:07] <Transporter> and what about a webcam software that u would recommend
[12:08] <TTilus> Transporter: what you wanna do with your cam?
[12:08] <jim_p> TTilus: you miss some gstreamer plugin to get it to mp3s i think
[12:08] <Transporter> record and remove pics of myself on my webcam
[12:08] <TTilus> jim_p: no i don't, soundconverter makes mp3s just fine
[12:08] <Transporter> i heard about cheese but a bit hesitant
[12:08] <jim_p> TTilus: unfortunately, i dont know the name of it :( it must end in -bar or -ugly
[12:09] <jim_p> TTilus: let me search
[12:09] <wisey> fde, shall i do this in ubuntu
[12:09] <Ximal> i downloaded a file but it's extension is *.bundle .... what the heck is this and why can't i open it ?
[12:09] <orgthingy> hi
[12:09] <rconan> Ximal, what is the file?
[12:09] <ikonia> Ximal: what are you trying to install
[12:09] <orgthingy> is there a way to use something saner than stupid pulseaudio :P ?
[12:09] <fde> wisey: uhh... yes
[12:09] <jim_p> TTilus: do you have gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad and gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly installed?
[12:10] <Ximal> vmware-player.bundle is the full files name
[12:10] <TTilus> jim_p: pkg was gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly
[12:10] <ikonia> Ximal: run file against it
[12:10] <TTilus> jim_p: and yes, i do have it
[12:10] <Ximal> ikonia please put that in an example
[12:10] <ikonia> Ximal: where did you get it
[12:10] <Ximal> vmwARE.COM
[12:10] <ikonia> Ximal: file $filename
[12:10] <TTilus> jim_p: otherwise i dont think i would even have "CD quality (MP3)" on the list of possible formats
[12:11] <jim_p> TTilus: try this too gstreamer0.10-fluendo-mp3
[12:11] <TTilus> jim_p: whats fluendo?
[12:11] <Ximal> error archive type not supported
[12:11] <erUSUL> TTilus: a company
[12:11] <jim_p> TTilus: this is some plugin of gstreamer used by brasero to make mp3s i think. try it
[12:11] <ChrisBeswick> chmod +x vmware-player.buddle
[12:11] <Teisei> Hi! I have a problem with Compiz. Whenever my laptop wakes up from sleep mode, my Compiz looks horrible ... skydome and cube caps are gone ...
[12:11] <ChrisBeswick> then run it
[12:12] <ChrisBeswick> from a terminal
[12:12] <ChrisBeswick> ./vmware-player.bundle
[12:12] <paul__> Hello, I need to install an application called Autodesk Maya Unlimited, in the installation guide it says that these 3 are the supported Linux OS's :
[12:12] <Ximal> huh .. what's the x for ?
[12:12] <paul__> • Red Hat® Enterprise Linux WS 4.0 update 4
[12:12] <paul__> • Fedora Core 5
[12:12] <paul__> • SUSETM 10.2
[12:12] <paul__> Will this work on Ubuntu?
[12:12] <FloodBot2> paul__: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[12:12] <jim_p> Teisei: do not hibernate then. or stop compiz beforehand
[12:12] <ChrisBeswick> to make it executable
[12:12] <_spm_Draget> Is it possible that lftp 3.7.4 has a bug concerning ftps? When I connect, login and try 'ls', I get 'FEAT negotiation' all the time
[12:12] <rconan> paul__, you can get it to work, it's difficult though
[12:12] <ChrisBeswick> its a shell script installer
[12:13] <jim_p> paul__: can you show us the page or the file you downloaded?
[12:13] <pw-toxic> how can i open a file out of the console using the standard program for the associated file?
[12:13] <K_Dallas> Q: I was reading the link given to me about pulseaudio and got a bit confused. Does hardy come with pulseaudio and if so, do I have to follow any of the steps given in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio to make it better or so? Thanks
[12:13] <pw-toxic> i want to perform a "double click" on a file on my desktop  using the console
[12:13] <ChrisBeswick> is there not an install guide?
[12:13] <pw-toxic> well i just want to have the same result
[12:13] <rconan> paul__, is this maya 2009? for 64-bit?
[12:13] <Teisei> jim_p: But I like suspend mode because I don't want to restart my computer every half an hour or so ... So you suggest me to take effects off every time I want to suspend?
[12:13] <paul__> jim_p: It is a pdf which I got along with the DVD
[12:13] <paul__> ITS maya 2008 for 32-bit
[12:13] <jim_p> pw-toxic: gnome-open file.txt
[12:13] <fde> K_Dallas: I would recommend it, yes... as in hardy, pulseaudio was poor
[12:13] <rconan> paul__, ok, that makes some things easier.
[12:14] <K_Dallas> fde, great, thanks a lot
[12:14] <rconan> paul__, you need to convert all the rpms to debs using alien and install
[12:14] <jim_p> paul__: the installer is a .run, a .rpm or something?
[12:14] <paul__> .rpm
[12:14] <pw-toxic> jim_p: thx, but this is desktop dependant i think - i'd like to have a command which works for most linux desktops
[12:14] <sw> hi
[12:14] <jdk1976> currently installing ubuntu 8.10 on my wife's macbook air
[12:14] <jdk1976> wooohooo
[12:14] <TTilus> jim_p: how do i use that?  installed it already, but there was nothing added to available target formats nor rhythmbox plugin list
[12:15] <jim_p> paul__: then sadly its an rpm :( although i dislike alien converting, you have to convert. pray it wont break anything
[12:15] <fde> paul__: sudo aptitude install alien && sudo alien --to-deb whatever.rpm
[12:15] <jrib> pw-toxic: does gvfs-open suit your needs?
[12:15] <pw-toxic> jdk1976: ahh i need you ;) i want to buy the "new macbook" and i want to install ubuntu too
[12:15] <pw-toxic> jdk1976: can i query you?
[12:15] <jdk1976> it's been a while since i was this excited about a linux install
[12:15] <jdk1976> sure
[12:15] <K_Dallas> btw, i received the 8.10 CDs yesterday! It was pretty fast ;)
[12:15] <pw-toxic> jrib: well i dont know what gvfs-open is ;)
[12:15] <jim_p> pw-toxic: dunno then. you can also force it with an app, like ff opening html
[12:15] <rconan> paul__, are there 4 rpms? two maya ones and two flex licensing ones?
[12:15] <jdk1976> pw-toxic, yes
[12:15] <craigtao> hello
[12:16] <paul__> rconan: let me check
[12:16] <shirish> is there a way to get a listing of all the codes supported by system? I mean by codes like ASCII, UTF-8, UTF-16 and others?
[12:16] <radoen> where can I get the lastet beta of kernel just patched?
[12:16] <_spm_Draget> What does 'FEAT negotiation' stand for? My ftps client (lftp) hangs at that point.
[12:16] <jim_p> TTilus: dunno then, i dont use rhytmbox.
[12:16] <TTilus> jim_p: ;)
[12:16] <jim_p> TTilus: you can always use another app to do the converstion from audio cds
[12:17] <jim_p> radoen: kernel.org maybe?
[12:17] <TTilus> jim_p: humm, looks like there's a transcode format bug reported against rb ... gotta check that
[12:17] <_spm_Draget> Does anyone know another command-line ftps client byside lftp?
[12:17] <TTilus> jim_p: ive done just that, soundconvert works for me just fine
[12:17] <bmagoha> hi all
[12:17] <radoen> I know but where is the kernel just patched?
[12:17] <waan> Can anyone help me figure out why ubuntu wont wake up from suspend. It's been like that since hardy

[12:18] <radoen> no
[12:18] <radoen> I need src

[12:19] <bmagoha> when launching windows they just appear empty or squeezed in a corner. what is this?
[12:19] <jrib> pw-toxic: I knew that didn't sound right.  gvfs-open is not what you want.  xdg-open is :)
[12:19] <ikonia> radoen if you cant fund the source, you should'nt be building
[12:20] <erUSUL> shogran: this is not a windows channel nor VBox users one...

[12:20] <rconan> paul__, that is different to 2009, I didn't have any aksusb things
[12:20] <bmagoha> jim_p: when launching java appliacations sometimes windows appear without anything just a blank white window,
[12:21] <ChrisBeswick> radoen you want the latest kernel sources? as in http://www.kernel.org/, or the ubuntu patched ones?
[12:21] <jim_p> shogran: is it in 3d? vbox nas no 3d acceleration at all
[12:21] <radoen> i need the lastet kernel beta
[12:21] <ikonia> radoen nothing to do with ubuntu then
[12:21] <erUSUL> radoen: or use ketchup
[12:21] <jrib> radoen: why?
[12:21] <paul__> rconan: i dont think the aksusbd makes a difference
[12:21] <ChrisBeswick> then go to www.kernel.org and download it
[12:21] <ikonia> radoen: this channel is for ubuntu isues only

[12:23] <ChrisBeswick> radeon, i think the "ubuntu" way is listed here... https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile
[12:23] <jim_p> shogran: no virtualization solution is as developed as to have PROPER 3d acceleration
[12:23] <sKeiths> I downloaded sources and am trying to compile, but, cc compiler is missing and apt-get cc returns no cc package. any help on finding cc

[12:24] <jrib> radoen: 'man patch' is very readable
[12:25] <jrib> joaopinto: the factoid or the wiki?
[12:25] <joaopinto> jrib, the factoid, didn't checked the wiki

[12:25] <jrib> joaopinto: what part of the factoid?
[12:25] <afief> Is there a way to install the KDE4.2 Beta in Ubuntu?
[12:26] <jim_p> bmagoha: ok, choose it from the dialog box

[12:26] <ikonia> afief: is there a package yet ?
[12:26] <bmagoha> (/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/bin/java). Nothing to configure.
[12:26] <bmagoha> jim_p: which dialog box?
[12:26] <joaopinto> jrib, since openjdk was moved to main, that should be recommended java version
[12:27] <jim_p> bmagoha: doesnt a dialog box appear inside the terminal when you run that command?
[12:27] <afief> ikonia: I haven't seen one, did you?
[12:27] <jrib> joaopinto: submit a correction to the bot
[12:27] <bmagoha> jim_p: there is dialog box
[12:27] <ikonia> afief: nope, so the answer is "no"

[12:30] <TJ-42> I'm using the deskbar-applet that comes with ubuntu and I noticed that "web searches (mozilla)" extension is failing with an error because "firefox version must be between 2.0.0.0 and 3.0.0.0".  How do I fix this?
[12:30] <jim_p> kri: i think its inside here /apps/metacity/general
[12:30] <waan> ikonia: do you know of a fix?
[12:30] <jrib> kri: yes, it's set through gconf, but system -> preferences -> windows is where users should set it

[12:34] <jrib> lee_: they used to for hardy :/ .  You can look at that package to see what the build-deps are and how they are compilinig it in debian/rules I guess
[12:34] <kri> ok, so my option is not possible anymore? i noted in ubuntu 8.10 that the area that allows you to change size of a window is bigger, but still the short command is nice is it possible?
[12:34] <jim_p> doors98: let me guess... hp printer?
[12:34] <Pici> b33r: Try shred.
[12:34] <lee_> jrib: i installed the build deps for the source, but it fails to compile with my choice of options
[12:34] <doors98> jim_p, yap hp deskjet 2460
[12:34] <fde> wisey: yeah... if you look in the examples section, you'll see the title    Windows   example.... uncomment it

[12:36] <m2k> lee_, what are you trying to convert to/from
[12:36] <paul__> asd
[12:36] <jim_p> doors98: in linux
[12:36] <m2k> AdvoWork, try recovery mode to see what is happening during startup
[12:36] <lee_> m2k: anything supported -> iPod/Quicktime compatible MP4
[12:37] <AdvoWork> m2k how do you get into that?
[12:37] <kri> ikonia: ok, how can i configure it?
[12:37] <b33r> Pici, how do you use shred and are you sure there wont be any way to recover the files I don't want to take any risks
[12:37] <doors98> jim_p: can u monitor my msg later so that i'l go on my linux to try? by the way after installing on linux will it work?
[12:37] <m2k> lee_, use media encoder mediacoder.sourceforge.net
[12:37] <ChrisBeswick> AdvoWork, you install on windows and using grub4dos?
[12:37] <lee_> m2k: ok i'll try that, thanks
[12:37] <m2k> AdvoWork, hit esc at startup to bring up the menu
[12:38] <jim_p> doors98: sure i will be here for the next hour. highlight me or pm me
[12:38] <m2k> lee_, it is command line but you can search for good settings to use for ipod quicktime or mp4
[12:38] <doors98> jim_p: tnx
[12:38] <lee_> m2k: ...linux with wine? this is a Windows application?
[12:38] <Pici> b33r: Check its manpage.  It explains how it may or may not be secure depending on what type of system you are running it on
[12:39] <m2k> lee_, err wrong url hang on
[12:39] <lee_> m2k: ah ok, I've already tried Windows solutions under Wine and I just end up with audio which is out-of-sync
[12:39] <kri> ikonia: ccsm --> general options --> key bindings. (but where do i find ccsm?)
[12:39] <doors98> jim_p: after installing on linux what will i do next, i remmeber i donwloaded the file but i don't know how to execute the file with .run
[12:40] <jrib> !ccsm | kri
[12:40] <wisey> fde, it now reads like this, http://pastebin.com/m66c1c267 . will this solve my problem?
[12:40] <jim_p> doors98: at a terminal            sudo chmod +x hplip-something.run           and             sudo sh hplip-something.run      and wait
[12:41] <fde> wisey: no, you need to uncomment the next 3 lines down to chainloader +1 too
[12:41] <doors98> jim_p: what will i type? all of that? sudo chmod +x hplip-something.run and sudo sh hplip-something.run
[12:41] <jim_p> doors98: sudo chmod ....                   wait a bit
[12:42] <jim_p> doors98: sudo sh ...                   wait a bit, and follow the instructions
[12:42] <wisey> fde, ok
[12:42] <doors98> jim_p: okey tnx i'l go and d/l now
[12:42] <jim_p> ok
[12:43] <the_dark_warrio> is there a shortcut to open a location (directory)?
[12:43] <jburd> I'm trying to boot my desktop computer using the Ubuntu DVD but all I see is a black screen.  The weird thing is, on another computer with the same configuration an upgrade from 8.04 to 8.10 workd flawlessly.
[12:43] <wisey> fde, now its saying i can't save. Do i need to change the permissions on the file
[12:43] <jim_p> the_dark_warrio: nautilus --browser /path/to/folder
[12:43] <Cedara> hi
[12:44] <jburd> The computer has an nvidia 6150 geforce graphics cad
[12:44] <fde> wisey: you were supposed to edit it with sudo...
[12:44] <jim_p> jburd: is the disk checked for errors?
[12:45] <jburd> jim_p:  I verified it during burning.  It reported success.
[12:45] <the_dark_warrio> jim_p: well, I was thinking of a "<Super> + E" thing, but thats helpfull anyway =p thanks
[12:45] <stevem> I have two wired networks enabled at the same time... Can I tell Network-Manager to prefer one over the other when trying to route?
[12:45] <jim_p> jburd: i think there is an option in the 1st menu, try that too
[12:45] <jburd> jim_p: Ok, I'll do that.
[12:45] <Mohammad[B]> i need a portable irc client :-s
[12:46] <AdvoWork> m2k virtual or generic?
[12:46] <m2k> lee_, meant to say mencoder: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MEncoder
[12:46] <lee_> m2k: ok but I think I already have that
[12:46] <jburd> A suggestion though.  It reads "Check CD for defects" when I'm using a DVD.  Can confuse users.  Perhaps "Check disc for defects" might be better
[12:46] <jim_p> the_dark_warrio: lol, you can do that too. System > preferences >Keyboard shortcuts i think. is it a custom shortcut you want to make?
[12:46] <mon^rch> how long will there be support for hardy again? 2010?
[12:46] <wisey> fde, noob sorry. what is the command to open it
[12:47] <jim_p> mon^rch: 2011
[12:47] <fde> wisey: sudo nano /boot/grub/menu.lst
[12:47] <m2k> lee_, it might be easier to use something like media-convert.com or mux.am
[12:47] <stevem> sudo chop
[12:47] <mon^rch> ty jim_p
[12:47] <lee_> m2k: are those web-based ones?
[12:47] <m2k> AdvoWork, virtual or generic what?
[12:47] <DarkOO> Any idea how to fix suspend and hibernate in 8.10 on Gericom X5. Running sudo /etc/acpi/sleep.sh somehow works but clicking on suspend in shutdown menu not. Ubuntu suspends computer but after resume there is only black screen. No CTRL+ALT+BACKSPCE or CTR+ALT+DELETE is not working.
[12:48] <lee_> m2k: bad idea, each file is ~200+MB, would be very bad :)
[12:48] <m2k> lee_, yeah, if that doesnt work for you also there might be a gui for mencoder
[12:48] <m2k> lee_, depends on your internet connection ;)
[12:48] <lee_> m2k: dsl, 409kbit (about 39-40KByte) upspeed xD
[12:48] <fde> wisey: I have to go... when you're done, hit ctrl + q ... then hit y ... then you should be set to reboot into Windows
[12:48] <AdvoWork> m2k i pressed ESC and its given me a list: ubuntu 8.04.1, kernel 2.6.24-21-virtual or -virtual(recovery mode) or generic and so on
[12:49] <alec868> i just installed ubuntu 8.10 on eee pc 900. wireless doesnt work, can anyone help?
[12:49] <fde> wisey: if it doesn't work, come back here and ask someone about how to tell what drive Windows is installed to and how to point grub at that... but it should be fine right now
[12:49] <wisey> fde, i'm just going to reboot and see what happens. thanks!
[12:49] <lee_> m2k: i tried podencoder but that needed ffmpeg/mencoder compiled with H264+AAC support, which is why I came here, because ffmpeg wouldnt compile, i'll try mencoder now though
[12:49] <waan> Can anyone help me figure out how to fix wake from suspend. It's been like that for gutsy, hardy and intrepid
[12:50] <user__> hello. what programs do i have to choose from if i want a ymsgr like platform for ubuntu?
[12:50] <m2k> AdvoWork, which is the default? pick one of the recovery options, generic should be ok
[12:50] <jim_p> user__: pidgin
[12:50] <waan> user__: pidgin
[12:50] <m2k> AdvoWork, why doyou have so many kernels installed?
[12:50] <user__> i have that but that's not really too ymsgr like
[12:50] <user__> any other alternatives?
[12:50] <AdvoWork> m2k god knows, ive not done anything other than install ubuntu
[12:51] <waan> user__: pidgin is the best im client i've ever used. But try searching in the repository
[12:51] <m2k> alec868, there is an eee pc version of ubuntu, search on google and you can probably install their drivers to regular ubuntu
[12:52] <AdvoWork> m2k its botting now, all i did was recovery, fix broken packages? and then it finished, enter > normal boot, then its ok
[12:52] <orly_owl> Is Brasero the default CD burning app for hardy?
[12:52] <m2k> AdvoWork, lol well generic kernel recovery mode should be fine, to see what errors there re
[12:52] <m2k> *are
[12:53] <alec868> m2k: i dont want the eee pc version, i had xandros eee and it was extremely limited. i have thre system installed and it works great, i just need wireless
[12:53] <jdk1976> anyone here experienced with sertting up ubuntu on macbook?  i missed something about making the "windows" partition (the partition with ubuntu on it) active so it will show up in bootcamp. is there a way to fix this?
[12:53] <m2k> orly_owl, dont think so, although it might be installed
[12:53] <wisey> guys, it didn't work. I'm trying to tell grub to load my vista installation. How do i do it?
[12:53] <orly_owl> is it gnomebaker?
[12:53] <lee_> this is silly, all the guides for ipod video conversion with mencoder are from ipod mp4 to divx or something useless in this situation :(
[12:53] <orly_owl> !GnomeBaker
[12:53] <dubi> hello all can anyone tell me how to tell if i have 3d acceleration?
[12:53] <ChrisBeswick> advowork, does the boot prompt say grub or grub4dos?
[12:53] <orly_owl> !Brasero
[12:53] <AdvoWork> m2k thankyou for the help
[12:54] <m2k> jdk1976, have you seen the guides about ubuntu on macbook & bootcamp?
[12:55] <jdk1976> m2k. i'm using one for this, but it sort of skips right over that section
[12:55] <amigamia> if i wanted to host multiple domains in ubuntu 8.10 does it provide this facitilty in the desktop release?
[12:55] <jdk1976> m2k got a link? or should i just google it?
[12:55] <m2k> jdk1976, ok which one and what step are you on
[12:56] <jdk1976> m2k. i'm done with install of 8.10 on macbook air
[12:56] <m2k> jdk1976, look first and see
[12:56] <jdk1976> i'll check in bootcamp
[12:56] <jdk1976> one sec
[12:56] <wisey> i can't believe this!
[12:56] <adac> Can someone tell me where I can download the stunnel4 source code?
[12:57] <doors98> jim_p:after i installed hplip what will i do next
[12:58] <jpazminor> helo
[12:58] <jdk1976> WOW. this is kind of bad. OSX can't recover the disk if this doesn't work, apparently, that disk space is just lost. boot camp doesn't see the parrtition
[12:58] <Guest88969> hi, i want to record some sound (me talking) but none of the sound aps seem to be set up properly with my soundcard
[12:58] <Guest88969> where could I strart t/shooting
[12:58] <jdk1976> ubuntu is on the partition, surely installed fine
[12:59] <jdk1976> i wonder if grub can override bootcamp
[12:59] <Pici> adac: apt-get source stunnel4
[12:59] <jim_p> doors98: configure it, look here http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/install/install/index.html           Using HP-Setup to configure your printer.
[12:59] <m2k> Guest31615, try searching your sound card model and ubuntu to see if it is a driver problem
[12:59] <SOURdiesel> what are the pros/cons for extending the swap partition if any?
[12:59] <adac> Pici: thx!
[13:00] <aRahim> any foss softwares to view cdr files (corel draw)
[13:00] <Guest88969> well my sound card isn't supported properly under ubuntu, i have to use a modem driver
[13:00] <Guest88969> but output is fine
[13:00] <SOURdiesel> what are the pros/cons for extending the swap partition if any?
[13:01] <Guest88969> and as far as I know modems accept sound input
[13:01] <ActionParsnip1> SOURdiesel: its more virtual memory
[13:01] <Guest88969> snd-hnd-intel
[13:01] <m2k> Guest31615, probably check the forums and see what other users with that card have done
[13:01] <ubd> i want to change or update my sound drivers
[13:01] <SOURdiesel> ActionParsnip1:  whats a good size other than 1H to extend the swap partition to?
[13:01] <SOURdiesel> oops 1G
[13:02] <nathan362> please how to make crontab -e to open vim editor, not nano?
[13:02] <kanhiya78> hello everybody
[13:02] <amigamia> os x works great on my macbook  :D
[13:02] <m2k> SOURdiesel, it depends how much memory your system has and what applications you are running
[13:02] <amigamia> if i wanted to host multiple domains in ubuntu 8.10 does it provide this facitilty in the desktop release?
[13:02] <ActionParsnip1> SOURdiesel: depends on how you use your system
[13:02] <doors98> jim_p: by the way i run it t the terminal, is it right? juz like in DOS for windows?
[13:03] <kanhiya78> is there any program like disk defragmentator
[13:03] <aRahim> can i use inkscape to view cdr files? plz help
[13:03] <m2k> amigamia, yes but you must install and configure a web server like apache. this is not too difficult and there are many guides
[13:03] <LjL> !defrag | kanhiya78
[13:03] <amigamia> you dont need disk defrag in osx :)
[13:03] <LjL> !info defrag | kanhiya78
[13:03] <SOURdiesel> m2k, ActionParsnip: 8GB of RAM, multimedia
[13:03] <amigamia> apache is default isnt it?
[13:03] <LjL> amigamia: i assumed the question was about Ubuntu
[13:03] <ActionParsnip1> SOURdiesel: define multimedia?
[13:03] <ray16> can some one help me in pm so i can tell you one 2 one please
[13:03] <ubd> i want to change or update my sound drivers the sound is noisy
[13:03] <amigamia> yes ubuntu
[13:03] <LjL> amigamia: what do you mean default?
[13:03] <Pici> nathan362: crontab -e respects $EDITOR, so you can do    sudo update-alternatives --config editor   or modify it for just your user in .profile or similar.
[13:03] <SOURdiesel> m2k, ActionParsnip1: is 5GB overkill for the swap partition?
[13:03] <amigamia> 8.1 i thin
[13:03] <ActionParsnip1> ray16: ask in here
[13:04] <dubi> hello can anyone tell me how to tell if i have 3d acceleration in intrepid?
[13:04] <ActionParsnip1> SOURdiesel: if you need it then its fine
[13:04] <amigamia> well apache is just the web server by defacto isnt it?
[13:04] <amigamia> it just comers pre installed
[13:04] <ActionParsnip1> dubi: glxinfo | grep -i direct
[13:04] <LjL> amigamia: it's the most likely used, for sure. but no, it doesn't come pre-installed in Ubuntu at all.
[13:04] <aRahim> need a converter to convert cdr to svg file
[13:04] <SOURdiesel> ActionParsnip: video editing and media center more than anything.
[13:04] <m2k> SOURdiesel, what was the default swap? with 8gb ram a 8-16gb swap would be fine
[13:04] <ActionParsnip1> amigamia: not in a standard ubuntu install
[13:04] <LjL> amigamia: most desktop users don't want or need a web server installed, and it would actually be a security threat for them to have one.
[13:04] <ActionParsnip1> !info apache2 | amigamia
[13:04] <amigamia> wow i had no idea
[13:04] <jim_p> doors98: yea. you should be donw with istallation now, and move to Using HP-Setup to configure your printer part
[13:04] <ray16> can any one tell me how to set my own triva bot up and put it in my room ???
[13:04] <SOURdiesel> m2k: default swap is 1GB
[13:05] <amigamia> that is amazing.
[13:05] <m2k> SOURdiesel, it will almost never get used but there is no harm, unless you are short of disk space
[13:05] <LjL> ray16, not here, perhaps ask in #ubuntu-offtopic
[13:05] <amigamia> well with server it does i would suspect.
[13:05] <jburd> jim_p: The disc check finished.  The Disc is fine
[13:05] <LjL> amigamia: with server, it depends what server components you tell it to install
[13:05] <amigamia> i thought apache was just included in all distrobutions today by default?
[13:05] <SOURdiesel> m2k: the OS has it's own ssd 32GB drive.
[13:05] <LjL> amigamia: you thought completely wrong
[13:05] <ActionParsnip1> amigamia: server comes with very little, you can install LAMP
[13:05] <amigamia> geez oh man
[13:05] <ActionParsnip1> !lamp | amigamia
[13:05] <amigamia> ok thanks
[13:06] <m2k> SOURdiesel, it just depends if your programs will use that hd space on their own, or prefer a larger virtual memory
[13:06] <jpazminor> |
[13:06] <jim_p> jburd: i suggest the md5sum check on the .sio file, but its irrelevant now. are you sure both pcs are identical? in linux ati and nvidia in 2 similar pcs makes a huge difference
[13:06] <SOURdiesel> m2k, ActionParsnip1: thanks guys.
[13:07] <jburd> jim_p: I downloaded it using a torrent which automatically checks for sums
[13:07] <jburd> jim_p: Yes, both PCs are identical
[13:07] <jim_p> jburd: and on nvidia?
[13:07] <jburd> jim_p: yep.  nvidia geforce 6150
[13:07] <m2k> amigamia, the webserver is a package that can be installed
[13:08] <m2k> its an install option on server
[13:08] <ubd> i want to change or update my sound drivers the sound is noisy even if i dont play aything
[13:08] <dubi> thanks actionparsnip
[13:08] <jburd> I can give you a dump of lshw if you need it. @ jim_p
[13:08] <m2k> ubd, what sound card do you have?
[13:08] <kri> i want to only change 1 setting i want to be able to change size of a window (with a keybind like ctrl+mousemovement). should i install 'simple-ccsm' or 'compizconfig-settings-manager'? im in ubunutu 8.10, gnome.
[13:08] <azimout> question: if i blacklist a module in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist, what might cause it to still be loaded?
[13:09] <jim_p> jburd: an lspci is enough. pm me it
[13:09] <ubd> intel 82801dc-ich4 (think)
[13:09] <PeskyJ> is there another ubuntu channel for development questions?
[13:09] <wisey> what is YaST2 control loader
[13:10] <jrib> PeskyJ: what kind of development questions?
[13:10] <PeskyJ> jrib: like how does X, Y, and Z  work (under the hood)? I want to know more about how drag and drop works on a coding level
[13:11] <wisey> i'm still trying to get my vista installation working, help is required
[13:11] <soho> anybody using deluge with the blocklist?
[13:12] <Pici> wisey: This is the Ubuntu support channel, perhaps you should be asking in a SuSe or Windows channel.
[13:12] <stevem> Hi, I've 2 wired networks - want to prefer one over the other for routing... how can this be done?
[13:12] <wisey> Pici, i'm trying to configure grub
[13:12] <soho> stevem; you can set it in network-manager-prefs
[13:12] <jrib> PeskyJ: in gnome?  try #gtk on gimpnet (there's probably one on freenode too) I guess
[13:12] <PeskyJ> jrib: ok, ta
[13:12] <Pici> wisey: YaST is a SuSe tool.
[13:12] <SOURdiesel> m2k: there's /dev/sda2 extended with a deop down option and in there is a /dev/sda5 linux-swap
[13:13] <jrib> PeskyJ: erm, #gtk+
[13:13] <wisey> pici, i must be reading the wrong page then
[13:13] <jburd> jim_p: http://rafb.net/p/5TFSrH66.html
[13:13] <SOURdiesel> *drop
[13:13] <m2k> SOURdiesel, you have to unmount the partition and it cannot be active
[13:13] <wisey> SuSe
[13:13] <SOURdiesel> m2k: ah
[13:14] <SOURdiesel> m2k: that option is greyed oit also
[13:15] <jim_p> jburd: then i dont know what to say. try using the alternative cd as a repo to make the upgrade
[13:15] <BadRobot1> hi there
[13:15] <BadRobot1> I need some help regarding how to burn a .dmg on linux
[13:15] <wisey> Pici, can you helo me setup a dual boot of vista and ubuntu. Both are alreay installed on disk hda + hdb
[13:16] <stevem> soho: is that a command?  'network-manager-prefs' ?
[13:16] <stevem> I don't see it
[13:17] <m2k> SOURdiesel, ok, you can use a file to extend the swap instead of changing the partitions
[13:17] <maek0> BadRobot1, http://www.google.com.au/search?source=ig&hl=en&rlz=&=&q=burn+dmg+ubuntu&btnG=Google+Search&meta=
[13:17] <Asad2005> I have traced the freezing problem of my pc to the network card RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet. When kept it down system stayed ok. Now i want to know what driver does it use and see if 8.10 use the right one as with ubuntu 8.04 was ok but dont know what was the driver
[13:17] <Pici> wisey: Did you install Windows after Ubuntu?
[13:17] <BadRobot1> thx
[13:18] <m2k> SOURdiesel, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq#How%20do%20I%20add%20more%20swap?
[13:18] <ocs2>  hi. i have made a mistake changing my monitor (and its settings) with another. now, when i restart X, alla the screen si messed up. what could i do to repair ?
[13:18] <damnloudfan> Hey People! Is it possible to set the fan speed on a desktop pc? The sound of my fan kills me.
[13:18] <UnknownUser56> damnloudfan:you shouldn't tamper with that
[13:19] <m2k> ocs2, try: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[13:19] <junaid> how can i copy a video file from VCD
[13:19] <kanhiya78> hey guys i read from the articles that there is no need to defrag files in linux
[13:19] <damnloudfan> UnknownUser56: i will. either i will find a setting or i will simply cut the power of the fan.
[13:19] <saurabh> hello
[13:19] <wisey> pici, windows before ubuntu. windows on hda and ubuntu on hdb
[13:19] <DIFH-iceroot> kanhiya78: correct
[13:19] <kanhiya78> am i right?
[13:20] <UnknownUser56> damnloudfan:get another fan,or a water cooling system
[13:20] <Pici> wisey: and The Ubuntu install didn't detect Windows when it installed?
[13:20] <m2k> kanhiya78, yeah that is my understanding for the majority of people
[13:20] <K_Dallas> Q: to compile applications from source, do I need to install build-essential to get all the required tools or they are already installed by hardy default installation? Thanks
[13:20] <m2k> with ext2 or ext3?
[13:20] <LjL> junaid: IIRC, it's just an MPEG files somewhere in the disc, although it's probably got a .vcd extension instead of .mpeg
[13:20] <saurabh> hello
[13:20] <LjL> K_Dallas: the former
[13:20] <parkerhiggins> K_Dallas, you have to install build-essential
[13:20] <damnloudfan> UnknownUser56: just bought another fan today. its too loud. im tired. i will check the net and look if there is a bios setting. if not - to hell with the fan.
[13:20] <K_Dallas> thanls LjL parkerhiggins
[13:20] <zimbres> Where is the .bashrc file for the root user?
[13:21] <wisey> Pici, not this time.
[13:21] <m2k> damnloudfan, usually not, the best thing to do is get a higher quality fan, they are pretty cheap
[13:21] <saurabh> can anyone help me in gcc compiler
[13:21] <DIFH-iceroot> zimbres: /root/.bashrc
[13:21] <kanhiya78> ok guys it cuts a schedule task from your life
[13:21] <Pici> !grub | wisey Check out the first link, it may help you.
[13:21] <m2k> damnloudfan, search for quiet pc guides :)
[13:21] <PeskyJ> does launchpad connect to bugs on other applications that don't use launchpad? or does ubuntu only use software from developers that also use launchpad?
[13:21] <damnloudfan> m2k: i will run an experiment and see how long the cpu survives without a fan.
[13:21] <LjL> kanhiya78, unless you fill up your hard drive badly, then fragmentation is unlikely to be an issue
[13:21] <azimout> question: if i blacklist a module in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist, what might cause it to still be loaded?
[13:22] <saurabh> i want to use  pow command buts not working even after using math.h
[13:22] <LjL> azimout: having it blacklisted with the wrong syntax, maybe
[13:22] <DIFH-iceroot> damnloudfan: newer cpus does not take any damage without a fan
[13:22] <LjL> azimout: the syntax is: blacklist modulename
[13:22] <m2k> damnloudfan, replace it with another quieter fan ^_^
[13:22] <damnloudfan> DIFH-iceroot: its an old old old cpu
[13:22] <DIFH-iceroot> damnloudfan: they are just underclocking themselves
[13:22] <damnloudfan> m2k: i did that today. still too loud
[13:22] <DIFH-iceroot> damnloudfan: then 2-3 sec
[13:22] <saurabh>  i want to use  pow command buts not working even after using math.h
[13:23] <Dr_willis> Hmm.. Firefox updates.. yes.. now people will quit asking how to get the latest :)
[13:23] <damnloudfan> DIFH-iceroot: i doubt the 2-3sec. that would be without a cooler maybe. but i will leave the cooler on.
[13:23] <LjL> saurabh: compile with the "-lm" flag
[13:23] <DIFH-iceroot> damnloudfan: ah ok, i was speaking without any cooler
[13:23] <LjL> !pm | junaid
[13:23] <saurabh> why do i need -lm
[13:23] <saurabh> it stands for what
[13:24] <LjL> saurabh: because math is a separate library, not part of stdlib. "-lm" links your binary to that library.
[13:24] <m2k> SOURdiesel, what applications are you running? it may affect what you want for the swap file
[13:24] <azimout> ljl: thanx, but it's correct syntax
[13:24] <PeskyJ> saurabh: you should ask in a c programming channel
[13:24] <LjL> azimout: does the module contains _ or -?
[13:24] <azimout> and i checked that i'm not loading it with /etc/modules
[13:24] <mercutio22> histo, I can't write to my flashdrive. I get a message saying its a read-olny file system
[13:24] <junaid> copying  from mpeg folder show error
[13:24] <mercutio22> oops
[13:24] <saurabh> can i use conio.h in for my files in c
[13:25] <LjL> PeskyJ, lauchpad can connect to other bugtrackers as far as i know. perhaps #launchpad would know better
[13:25] <azimout> blacklist lp
[13:25] <azimout> blacklist parport
[13:25] <azimout> blacklist parport_pc
[13:25] <azimout> blacklist ppdev
[13:25] <mercutio22> I meant that question for everyone
[13:25] <FloodBot2> azimout: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[13:25] <azimout> the only one that stops being loaded is parport_pc
[13:25] <PeskyJ> ljl ta
[13:25] <azimout> the other three still get loaded
[13:25] <LjL> !error | junaid
[13:25] <deoks> PeskyJ: He would probably be kicked out of the C channel if he was asking that question
[13:25] <SOURdiesel> m2k: thanks.
[13:26] <saurabh> ok thanx
[13:26] <saurabh> ljl
[13:26] <saurabh> byeeeeeeeeeee
[13:26] <azimout> and i know lp and ppdev depend on parport
[13:26] <kanhiya78> okay  one more question  ways to decrease cpu usage and increase RAM usage
[13:26] <m2k> SOURdiesel, also if you add a swap file, then you can unmount and modify the current swap partition
[13:26] <lg29> hi i
[13:27] <tatters> I have found a patch i need on launchpad, how do we install these patches?
[13:27] <SOURdiesel> m2k: i saw that
[13:27] <jrib> !source > tatters
[13:27] <SOURdiesel> m2k: i can also load up the live CD and increase the swap partition that way, no?
[13:28] <LjL> azimout: what version of ubuntu?
[13:28] <tuesday_flounder> hi i'm very new to ubuntu can anyone tell me a command to determine if the machine i'm using is 64 or 32 bits, or where to look for this info?
[13:28] <UnknownUser56> SOURdiesel:LVM :)
[13:28] <m2k> SOURdiesel, yup that should work
[13:28] <azimout> 8.10
[13:28] <jrib> tatters: apply the patch (see 'man patch') before you do dpkg-buildpackage.  You probably also want to run 'dch -i' and append ~tatters to the version.
[13:28] <krupa^> hello all! hey, anyone knows how to allow symbolic links in proftpd? ... thanks!
[13:28] <LjL> tuesday_flounder: "cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep flags", see if there is the "lm" flag
[13:28] <BadRobot1> 8.10
[13:28] <tuesday_flounder> Ljl: ok, thanks! i'll give it a go
[13:28] <azimout> ljl: 8.10
[13:29] <tatters> jrib: why did u direct me to a link for apt-get, do we use that to apply a patch?
[13:29] <tuesday_flounder> Ljl:  yes lm is there, also lahf_lm .. what does this tell me?
[13:30] <LjL> azimout: don't know... try blacklisting ppdev *before* parport, since parport depends on it
[13:30] <jrib> tatters: well without more context, I'm assuming you need to rebuild a package to apply the patch
[13:30] <azimout> ljl: good idea, thanx, will try it and reboot
[13:30] <ndlovu> I have an external harddrive (ARCHOS) that mounts as a read-only file system. any pointers for mounting it read-write?
[13:30] <tatters> jrib: I assumed a patch could be applied to a script without rebuilding?
[13:31] <jrib> tatters: "without more context"
[13:31] <LjL> tatters: and he should just have guessed using his crystal ball that it's a script you were talking about? ;)
[13:31] <NET||abuse> acch,, annoying,, openoffice has messed up resolving authentication on windows server share..

[13:32] <desrt> hi.  for the second time now my shiny new intrepid install has the following odd symptoms:
[13:32] <junaid> y  help me

[13:34] <Pici> T3rmInAt0r: er,  http://yoursite/phpmyadmin/    rather
[13:34] <T3rmInAt0r> I do this in my local host
[13:34] <LjL> tuesday_flounder: i don't know about lahf_lm, but "lm" means your processor is 64bit
[13:34] <T3rmInAt0r> it says that it doesn't exist
[13:35] <T3rmInAt0r> Pici, any ideas?

[13:45] <user__> but now it doesn't work
[13:45] <reanimation> whats the problem arises
[13:45] <henrik_> Okay, it hangs on load installer components from CD. "Failed to copy file from CD-ROM. Retry?"
[13:46] <henrik_> What should I do?
[13:46] <Dr_willis> henrik_,  you created a 'install thumb drive' or what exactly?
[13:47] <reanimation> okay go to accounts -> manage-> add-> here type only your yahoo id i.e part before the @ symbol
[13:47] <henrik_> Dr_willis: yes, I did.
[13:47] <henrik_> With the UNetbootin-tool.
[13:47] <threequarks> anyone know where the tab icons are gone in Kate 4.x on intrepid?
[13:48] <reanimation> how to use free internet in ubuntu
[13:48] <Dr_willis> Hmm.. I used that tool and it worked fine for me..  I did however use the alternative, and desktop cd image files to make them.. Not the 'server' cd.
[13:48] <ardchoille> Which file dictates which theme will be used as the gdm theme?
[13:48] <Dr_willis> ardchoille,  gdm has a config file that tells that -  i recall.
[13:49] <Dr_willis> ardantus,  /etc/gdm/gdm.conf
[13:49] <ardchoille> Dr_willis: aha, /etc/gdm/gdm.conf , thanks for the hint
[13:49] <nathan362> please, will MAIL command send mail to localhost without sendmail package?
[13:49] <Dr_willis> oops  :) ya got it.. heh

[13:49] <reanimation> can anybody tell how to hack wireless connections
[13:49] <henrik_> Dr_willis: hm. I used the server install, guess I'll just have to find a CD-rom and connect it instead
[13:49] <meiweixing> hello,everyone
[13:49] <reanimation> hi
[13:49] <Dr_willis> henrik_,  i recall some others having a similer issue.. but not sure of the details
[13:50] <reanimation> is there any indian guy
[13:50] <ardchoille> Dr_willis: this is odd, /etc/gdm/gdm.conf says  "GtkTheme=Human"  but I'm currently using the happygnome theme
[13:50] <n8tuser> ardchoille-> gdm.conf-custom overrides gdm.conf
[13:51] <henrik_> Dr_willis: oh well, I guess a CD-ROM is the easiest way.
[13:51] <ardchoille> n8tuser: ah, thank you :)
[13:51] <henrik_> I have extras lying around, and it won't take long because the motherboard is still in the box, running without a case. :p
[13:54] <LjL> tuesday_flounder: one thing is saying that you're *running* the 32-bit version of Ubuntu, another thing is saying that you *have* a 64-bit processor. you asked about the latter.
[13:56] <heinrich> Linux is like a wigwam: no gates, no windows and Apache inside.
[13:56] <Kalidarn> would it be safe to assume that ubuntu 8.10 is also LSB compliant https://www.linuxfoundation.org/lsb-cert/productdir.php?by_lsb here it says that Ubuntu 6.06 (dapper) was tested in 2006
[13:56] <Kalidarn> or are only LTS releases LSB compliant
[13:57] <jessid> Hello. What could be the reason for the cpu cooler in a laptop never stops????
[13:58] <ubuntu_> ?
[13:58] <psyjoniz> jessid: heat?
[13:58] <ubuntu_> cold
[13:59] <biblio_orkut1> heat
[13:59] <jessid> psyjoniz: it didnt happen in releases before 8.10
[14:00] <psyjoniz> installed to a usb.  screen won't lock (it dims down like its trying).  any ideas?
[14:00] <jessid> now, when it starts, it never stops even if the cpu is doing almost nothing
[14:00] <psyjoniz> jessid: beyond it being hot, i am out of ideas, sorry
[14:01] <netof_100> does anyone know how to get out of fullscreen in virtual box with xp installed?
[14:01] <jessid> psyjoniz thanks.
[14:01] <ay^> netof_100: right ctrl + f is default
[14:02] <ncfi1013_> does anybody know anything about Tcl?
[14:02] <psyjoniz> jessid: man powernowd?
[14:02] <psyjoniz> that might help
[14:03] <jessid> psyjoniz: i will check
[14:03] <netof_100> ay: thanks, that did it
[14:03] <jessid> psyjoniz thanks man
[14:03] <psyjoniz> np ^^
[14:03] <ay^> netof_100: np :)
[14:04] <netof_100> does anyone know how to open a keygen in ubuntu?
[14:05] <Whitor> Hi, What does the 'never' mean at the justified right side of all my connections in Network Connection Manager ?
[14:05] <psyjoniz> installed 8.10 to a usb stick and locking the screen doesn't work.  it fades like its trying but i'm never prompted for a password to get back in.  yes a password is set.  anyone have any ideas?
[14:06] <Whitor> Network manager doesn't seem to control my network configurations. I can only connect to networks if I edit /etc/network/interfaces
[14:06] <Whitor> I was wondering if this 'never' had anything to do with this ?
[14:07] <psyjoniz> whitor : try changing it to something else and see what happens :)
[14:07] <henrik_> I'm trying to install 8.10 server from an USB stick, but I can't get past the CD-ROM checking. When I pass the setup of the CD-ROM, it works fine until it tries to copy some files from the "CD-ROM" (which is symlinked to the USB drive), but then everything stops.
[14:07] <henrik_> Any suggestions
[14:07] <henrik_> ?
[14:07] <wisey> digitalAngel, i have vista on hda and ubuntu on hdb. I read an article that said i should have grub on the first hard disk, so shall I swap them over.

[14:07] <tuesday_flounder> Ljl: thanks, that's really helpful
[14:07] <mgolisch> Whitor: nm only uses interfaces not configured via the interfaces file

[14:11] <n8tuser> afancy why no put it in  /etc/sysctl.conf ?
[14:11] <wisey> guys, if i install ubuntu on hda and vista on hdb. will grub recognize the windows bootloader. and why will it not work vice-versa
[14:11] <ikonia> wisey: vista likes to install on the primary disk normally
[14:11] <ikonia> wisey: the letters sda/sdb don't actually mean anything

[14:13] <wisey> ikonia, ok, that is how it is atm

[14:13] <wisey> ikonia, i can't load vista though
[14:13] <ikonia> what's the problem ?
[14:14] <wisey> ikonia, it won't launch the windows bootloader
[14:14] <wisey> grub won't
[14:14] <ikonia> wisey what's teh error
[14:15] <SOURdiesel> why is it sometimes when playing avi's the audio lags and isn't in time with the video.  is that something with mplayer?
[14:15] <wisey> ikonia, grub literally gives no option to load vista
[14:15] <ikonia> wisey so there is no menu option for vista
[14:15] <wisey> ikonia, no
[14:16] <ikonia> wisey: did you install vista first, then ubuntu /
[14:16] <wisey> yes
[14:16] <ikonia> ok, thats not the end of the world, you just need to add the grub windows boot option to the /boot/grub/menu.lst file
[14:16] <neozen> SOURdiesel: your computer ever have trouble playing this video in other programs?
[14:16] <ikonia> wisey: let ms ee if I can find a doc that guides you, there used to be one

[14:17] <SOURdiesel> neozen: haven't tried another player
[14:17] <wisey> ikonia, thanks
[14:17] <neozen> SOURdiesel: how's your cpu usage while playing the video?
[14:17] <SOURdiesel> neozen: it happens sometimes when i burn to DVD too.
[14:18] <SOURdiesel> neozen: cpu usage looks ok.
[14:18] <joaospinto> hello. how can i fix the firefox scrolling problem?
[14:18] <SOURdiesel> neozen: if i pause and play again it corrects itself
[14:18] <neozen> SOURdiesel: at a guess, I'd  blame it on the video
[14:18] <joaospinto> it only happens in some websites, and i think it only started to happen with this update.. (i had already had it before, but not in 8.10)
[14:19] <SOURdiesel> neozen: i figured but thought i'd ask.  thanks.
[14:19] <xiangfu> why i add some program in sessions , it's never run. (/usr/bin/xmodmap /home/xiangfu/.Xmodmap)

[14:20] <ikonia> fus10nx thats fake raid, fakeraid is a terrible technology
[14:21] <ikonia> fus10nx: fake raid has terrible linux support, hence seeing it as two disks
[14:21] <fus10nx> oh ok, how should I do this ten?
[14:21] <fus10nx> I see
[14:21] <ikonia> fus10nx: if your just using linux on those disks I suggest using linux software raid which is excellent
[14:21] <fus10nx> so do it as software RAID?
[14:21] <fus10nx> is there a tutorial to setup just a basic RAID 1 in Ubuntu 8.04?
[14:21] <fus10nx> cus there's no option in the graphical installer to do it
[14:22] <ikonia> fus10nx: you have to use the alternative cd
[14:22] <ikonia> fus10nx: or install to one disk in the normal cd and mirror it later
[14:22] <Great_Gatsby> can someone help me with a wireless problem, im connected to my router, the light is on but when i unplug the wired connection im not getting through

[14:22] <ikonia> fus10nx you don't need to disconnect a drive
[14:22] <fus10nx> if that's the case, is there a solid "dummy" proof tutorial?
[14:22] <ikonia> fus10nx: just install it to one disk
[14:22] <fus10nx> gotcha
[14:23] <fus10nx> so i gotta delete my mirror on the hardware controller
[14:23] <ikonia> fus10nx: I wrote a forum post on how to do it

[14:26] <Ad0> thought linux was supposed to be secure =/
[14:26] <fus10nx> cheers
[14:26] <ikonia> fus10nx: make sure you read the text though, it's important
[14:26] <Ximal> anyone have a good idea as to some good os or drive encryption for ubuntu ? i'm talking , whipe the drive clean if the wrong password is entered to many times..
[14:26] <ikonia> Ximal that technolgy would have to be scripted as a wrapper
[14:26] <kiru> how can i resize the root partition
[14:26] <fus10nx> what if i dont want to destory anything, just make it fault tolerant
[14:27] <zeno___> PeskyJ: command line i dont know how to via nautilus
[14:27] <ikonia> fus10nx read the thread I've sent you
[14:27] <Slart> Ad0: an os is as secure as the user
[14:27] <fus10nx> I am :)
[14:27] <fus10nx> First we destory one of the disks in the mirror.
[14:27] <PeskyJ> zeno___: what is your end goal? for example to mount a drive temporarily for one session, to always have it mounted whenever you log in,?
[14:27] <fus10nx> just confused me
[14:27] <ikonia> fus10nx what part is confusing you
[14:27] <Ximal> well ikonia : how bout encryption that if you disconnect the drive from it's originating pc it is un-readable
[14:27] <fus10nx> destorying the data but i'll re-read everyhting
[14:27] <ikonia> fus10nx: if you want to do it while I'm here, I'm happy to help
[14:27] <m2k> Ximal, encfs is really nice, not sure if it has the exact features you want
[14:27] <zeno___> PeskyJ: login
[14:28] <ikonia> Ximal: well thats any form of encyption as it won't unencypt without the key
[14:28] <Slart> Ad0: have you tried running rkhunter?
[14:28] <wisey> ikonia, is (hd0,0) the first partition of the first disk?
[14:28] <Doktorn> -
[14:28] <ikonia> wisey correct
[14:28] <Aperculum> how do I check my filesystems in ubuntu?
[14:28] <m2k> Ximal, use a certificate and keep the key on the local system
[14:28] <Ximal> i basically want my firmware in my bios to be the key
[14:28] <ApOgEEk> Ad0, how secure do you mean?
[14:28] <ikonia> Ximal thats not a good idea
[14:28] <Ximal> the mdsum in it that is
[14:28] <m2k> Aperculum, e2fsck for ext2
[14:28] <Ximal> sure it is ...
[14:29] <Aperculum> m2k, I can't find it in menu
[14:29] <Ximal> if i pull a drive off the pc it can't be used otherwise
[14:29] <wisey> ikonia, i think vista is on my second partition. so i would have to type (hd0,1)
[14:29] <ikonia> Ximal: then stop askign how to do it if you think it's the right thing to do
[14:29] <ikonia> wisey you got it
[14:29] <Ximal> i'm just asking if there is a program anyone here might know about is all
[14:29] <wisey> ikonia, hopefully it works
[14:29] <Ad0> ApOgEEk: I mean when I get the option to install LAMP, I assume it is safe
[14:29] <ikonia> !encyption
[14:29] <ikonia> !encryt
[14:29] <Ad0> I mean a default installation
[14:29] <ikonia> !encrypt
[14:29] <ikonia> ughh
[14:29] <Ad0> what is that deal with the SSH keys?
[14:29] <m2k> Aperculum, use the command line, or you can install the Partition editor from Add/remove
[14:29] <Ad0> can I somehow test and fix my system?
[14:29] <ikonia> Ximal: hang on
[14:30] <Ad0> I need to fix my system
[14:30] <Heatryn> I have configured my ubuntu server install that I have a working wlan card in master mode, now I want to make it secure, where can I find a good howto for that?
[14:30] <Aperculum> m2k, partition editor can do filesystem check?
[14:30] <PeskyJ> zeno___: ok well you should read the man page on fstab and mount to understand how they work... then you need to add an entry to /etc/fstab and provide credentials
[14:30] <m2k> Ximal, try GDecrypt
[14:30] <m2k> Aperculum, not sure, will check
[14:31] <zeno___> PeskyJ: i did, but in the man page i didnt seen a option for username and password
[14:31] <zeno___> when i mount without one its ro, even though i passed rw option
[14:31] <m2k> Aperculum, yeah it does
[14:31] <jos_> how i open a iso to ad somthings witch porgie

[14:32] <ApOgEEk> Ad0 the security is depends on how you set them
[14:32] <jos_> andt ad somtings
[14:32] <PeskyJ> zeno___: is it a windows/samba share?
[14:32] <fus10nx> what's the 1, 32 and 257008 mean?

[14:33] <ikonia> zeno___ where isn't NFS support
[14:33] <wisey> ikonia, what about the map (hd0) (hd1) and (hd1) (hd0) lines?
[14:33] <m2k> zeno___, you can use smbfs
[14:33] <wisey> would they be the same?
[14:33] <skorasaurus> !dutch
[14:33] <Aperculum> m2k, thank you for your help, I think I can manage from here :)

[14:34] <ikonia> fus10nx: if you run fdisk on /dev/sda and do print you'll see your current disk layout
[14:34] <fus10nx> it's like a 160 gig disk but i'm guessing my value has to be dead on
[14:34] <fus10nx> gotcha

[14:35] <Slart> !boot | CVirus
[14:35] <PeskyJ> zeno___: well that was under debian a long while back, not sure if ubuntu uses the same thing as there's been development since then and also I noticed ubuntu uses this fuse/gvfs mounter thing which I don't really understand yet
[14:35] <UnknownUser56> !grub
[14:35] <CVirus> Slart: thanks alot

[14:39] <m2k> Heatryn, it depends a bit on what hardware you have, but that is a good guide to check out
[14:39] <PeskyJ> is there such a thing as a drag-n-drop target display application - something that sits there and when you drop stuff to it, it displays the DnD info it is being passed?

[14:41] <PeskyJ> zeno___: np mate.. you did all the work yourself I just made random pointers/suggestions ;)
[14:42] <kiru> Ximal: nevertheless, is it possible to resize the boot partition=?
[14:42] <Pointy> bingungaja - this page suggests EasyTAG or the EmbedCover plugin for Amarok -- http://lifehacker.com/397258/find-and-embed-album-art-in-your-mp3-collection
[14:42] <zeno___> never woulda figured out without tho XD
[14:42] <skorasaurus> i tar.gz'ed successfully, but i cannot split successfully.
[14:42] <Slart> digitalspaghetti: pastebin the output of ls for the folder.. and perhaps a "file <filename>" for the file in question
[14:42] <bingungaja> Pointy: thx, i'd go to the url first
[14:42] <Ximal> yes
[14:42] <skorasaurus> when i try to extract the split archives that i made, i receive a null error :/

[14:44] <SOURdiesel> do i need to uninstall the 32 bit flash player and then download/install the 64bit flash player?  or do i just install the 64bit flash player?
[14:44] <PeskyJ> zeno___: the admin account in ubuntu is a normal user account, you need to use sudo to do things as root... you probably just need to change the (group most likely) permissions on your mount point
[14:44] <bridger> Slart:  It hasn't worked for me for a while now
[14:44] <zeno___> PeskyJ: the admin account is root on the nas im using
[14:44] <elhoir> hello?
[14:44] <ikonia> SOURdiesel I recommend you carry on with a working 32bit install unless you are %100 certain what your doing
[14:45] <nicku> hello.. does somebody know is it possible to use ad roaming profiles with ubuntu
[14:45] <Slart> digitalspaghetti: and do a "ls -la" of the folder with the file
[14:45] <jrib> SOURdiesel: you should remove the old one first (purge the corresponding package).  However, adobe's release is beta and at least for me crashes my browser on some flash
[14:45] <ikonia> nicku roaming profiles are a windows profile, buuntu uses the home directory to store profiles
[14:45] <SOURdiesel> ikonia: aye-aye, sir.  thank you.
[14:45] <digitalspaghetti> Slart: http://paste.ifies.org/164
[14:45] <Asterix> If I'm running 7.10 is there a way to update from the 8.10 cd?
[14:45] <SOURdiesel> jrib: thanks.
[14:45] <junaid> is there any way to restore the system to the beginning state(the state after the installation of ubuntu )
[14:45] <ikonia> SOURdiesel: honestly - unless your %100 certain your for a world of pain
[14:45] <nicku> ikonia: i know but is it possible to get them working in ubuntu
[14:46] <ikonia> nicku: ubuntu doesn't use them
[14:46] <SOURdiesel> ikonia: not into pain here.
[14:46] <ikonia> nicku: they contain windows desktop data
[14:46] <elhoir> Asterix - yes, i think
[14:46] <elhoir> Asterix - maybe you can update to 8.04 and then to 8.10
[14:46] <Asterix> elhoir: I've put the CD in but it doesn't seem to do anything
[14:46] <ikonia> nicku: ubuntu stores profiles in a different way, you can use a roaming network mounted home dir which works int he same way, but it is not AD roaming profiles
[14:46] <elhoir> asterix - try with donw
[14:46] <adac> Con somebody tell me the command for vncviewer to allow only low colours?
[14:46] <elhoir> donload manager
[14:46] <zeno___> PeskyJ: i have them correct cause if i change password to mount with it gives error
[14:46] <Crusher_> Slart: wot sud i do in this case http://pastebin.com/m5870400b
[14:47] <Slart> digitalspaghetti: hmm.. it looks alright.. have you tried changing the owner of the file? or you get permission denied then too?
[14:47] <elhoir> download manager*
[14:47] <doors98> i cant print on my dumb hp deskjet printer on the network, plsss help
[14:47] <Asterix> elhoir: The reason I want to use the CD is I've got a pretty slow internet connection and doing the network upgrade takes forever.
[14:47] <Ximal> hey asterix ... you'll need to make an apt-on cd or dvd if you can of all your current packages ... or backup the package download folder and backup your home folder..
[14:47] <elhoir> ahm
[14:47] <elhoir> then im afraid i cant help you.. i have never done an upgrade via CDs
[14:47] <Ximal> then do a fresh install on the system and pull your home folder to your new pc along with the package backup if you need to..
[14:47] <junaid> is there any way to restore the system to the beginning state(the state after the installation of ubuntu )
[14:48] <xiroV> Can anyone help me finding a touchpad driver? I

[14:50] <xiroV> neozen, I know :) But it's good to make people aware, that i'm new, so they can explain to me how it works, in a language i understand..
[14:50] <Dorobo18jp> jrib what is !compile?
[14:50] <doors98> i followed dozens of instructions but to no avail
[14:50] <jrib> Dorobo18jp: makes ubottu give you the information you asked about
[14:51] <SOURdiesel> how long before Intrepid is stable would you guys say, 2 months, 3 months?
[14:51] <neozen> xiroV: ::nods:: is nice to know
[14:51] <jrib> Ximal: depends on what you mean by upgrade.  Do you want to upgrade to a new release or just update your packages on your current release?
[14:51] <ikonia> SOURdiesel it's stable now
[14:51] <Crusher_> Slart: Do i have to manage groups then?
[14:51] <Pointy> so anyone know of an irc channel with linux command line gurus?
[14:51] <willytell_> hello everyone..
[14:51] <Great_Gatsby> Can someone help me http://pastebin.com/m25d026fb
[14:51] <ikonia> Pointy are you using ubuntu ?
[14:51] <Pointy> yes
[14:51] <ikonia> Pointy: what's the problem
[14:51] <SOURdiesel> ikonia: ok. less bugy...
[14:51] <Ximal> asterix wants to upgrade to the new release i believe ..
[14:51] <Pointy> if i have two files, and i want to combine them in a manner so that line 1 of the output = [line 1 file 1] [line 1 file 2].. what command should i be looking up?
[14:51] <Great_Gatsby> im connected to my dsl router the green light is on but i cant get a connection for some reason
[14:51] <Slart> Crusher_: yes.. find the vboxuser group (or whatever it's called)
[14:52] <Slartibartfast> doors98, I also faced the same problem it, printing to windows is still a problem  due to drivers patent issues
[14:52] <Slart> Crusher_: then make sure your user has a checkmark next to it
[14:52] <Asterix> Yes, I'm currently running 7.10 and I've got the 8.10 CD I burned on another computer
[14:52] <Pointy> ikonia: basically line by line merging
[14:52] <neozen> xiroV: can lspci see it?
[14:52] <system_> What does enable_laptop_mode really do? Just enables power saving features?
[14:52] <ikonia> SOURdiesel: depends on what your doing and the user as to how buggy it is, my 8.10 install has one bug, with an easy work around, and another one is %100 stable
[14:52] <ikonia> Pointy: not sure I follow
[14:52] <jrib> Pointy: your_favorite_scripting_language
[14:52] <xiroV> neozen, And i truely hope, that i'll get more knowledge, so maybe I can help newbies, some day :)
[14:53] <Pointy> jrib: *sigh* i figured :) i guess i can do it in bash
[14:53] <Crusher_> Slart: should i restart for the effect to take place.......
[14:53] <Pici> Pointy: #bash may be able to help
[14:53] <Slart> Crusher_: I'm not really sure.. but it might be best
[14:53] <Pointy> Pici: good call
[14:53] <wisey> Ximal, what do i do in here?
[14:53] <xiroV> neozen, uhm.. nope.. i don't see it
[14:53] <Crusher_> Slart:thank u
[14:53] <Ximal> Asterix .. like ikonia says... Certain upgrades are flawless while some pc's work better on downgrades due to unfinalized issues at hand with the prototype in progress...
[14:53] <SOURdiesel> ikonia: i tried upgrading and had issues with my onboard video and power management.  the person who reffered me to ubuntu tried to upgrade and had archive manager issues along with network issues.  that's why i asked.
[14:54] <Slart> Crusher_: you're welcome.. hope it works out for you
[14:54] <junaid> Slartibartfast::i want the beginning state of ubuntu
[14:54] <linny> does anyone here use devede im having trouble creating isos with it after i create my disc i end up with mymovie.mpeg and mymovie.xml instead of the iso ive tried all 3 options eg create iso  create disc srutcture etc but still the same any ideas  ?
[14:54] <doors98>  Slartibartfast: gosh what will i do then? i have a shop and the users are used to window$, i want to slowly learn and teach linux but how the hell can i print on ubuntu then if the customers want to print something
[14:54] <ikonia> SOURdiesel as I said, dependso n the user as much as the OS
[14:54] <apeiron> mmmm asterisk
[14:54] <Asterix> If I've got my home folder on a separate partition can I just do a install of the 8.10 on the / partition?
[14:54] <apeiron> I heart asterisk.
[14:54] <SOURdiesel> ikonia: ok then.
[14:54] <willytell_> I have experienced problems with my webcam since I upgrade to distro intrepid of Ubuntu.
[14:54] <jrib> Pointy: apparently 'pr' can do what you want: http://www.heikkitoivonen.net/blog/2008/07/24/combine-two-files-line-by-line-on-command-line/
[14:54] <zhmg> fdsa
[14:55] <jrib> Pointy: and paste.  Two new things I learned :)
[14:55] <willytell_> someone knows about this problem? It seems to be a problem with libv4l
[14:55] <Slartibartfast> doors98, Just buy an extra machine for printing purposes, It is possible  anyway to print but it always be failing
[14:55] <kiru> i have a root partition of 7.5 GB. Now i wanna update from 7.10 to 8.04 but the updater tells me that i dont have enough free space on the root partion: 1.3GB instead of 1.8GB... what could i do?
[14:55] <nikitis> hey guys, what are the cons of a 64-bit Linux?
[14:55] <sladen> sort -u
[14:55] <ikonia> nikitis none really, some applications (java for example) are 32bit only
[14:55] <jrib> nikitis: no java plugin from sun
[14:55] <TJ-42> kiru: Increase the size of your root partition?  You could look into using something like gparted for this
[14:56] <Ximal> who is it that was having a issue with the usb on vbox?
[14:56] <nikitis> jrib: there's 64-bit flash now
[14:56] <ikonia> Ximal as we discussed earlier - #vbox is your friend
[14:56] <neozen> xiroV: know if the touchpad is something other then your standard wacom?
[14:56] <nikitis> jrib: is there a way to get java to work in 64-bit?
[14:56] <kiru> TJ-42: i am trying but i cannot resize a running root partition, can i?
[14:56] <kiru> TJ-42:  is there a way to get java to work in 64-bit?
[14:56] <ikonia> kiru: do it from the livecd
[14:56] <willytell_> I can not install libv4l? can anyone help me?
[14:56] <neozen> xiroV: they usually just work... did the touchpad work in windows?
[14:56] <Ximal> no.. i'm not having a problem ikonia ... i figured out how to fix the issue.. someone else was having the same issue a moment ago and i wanted to help is all
[14:56] <TJ-42> kiru: use a live cd
[14:56] <jrib> nikitis: yes, you can use open java.  But there isn't one from sun.  Flash hasn't been an issue in
[14:57] <kiru> ikonia: is a livecd version of 7.04 ok?
[14:57] <jrib> nikitis: yes, you can use open java.  But there isn't one from sun.  Flash hasn't been an issue in 64 bit for a long time now
[14:57] <ikonia> kiru: don't see why not
[14:57] <TJ-42> kiru: I know nothing about getting java to run, or 64-bit, so ask someone else that question :-)
[14:57] <kiru> kk
[14:57] <nikitis> jrib: How is openjava?
[14:57] <jrib> nikitis: wfm
[14:57] <kiru> kk
[14:57] <kiru> cya soon fellows
[14:57] <Great_Gatsby> why after updating to hardy is the old broadcom driver not used
[14:57] <linny> does anyone here use devede ? im having trouble creating isos with it. after i create my disc i end up with mymovie.mpeg and mymovie.xml instead of the iso ive tried all 3 options eg create iso,  create disc srutcture etc but still the same any ideas  ?
[14:57] <Great_Gatsby> now its wanting a b43 driver
[14:57] <nikitis> jrib: sorry, i don't understand what wfm is
[14:57] <ikonia> Great_Gatsby: because itls old
[14:57] <Slartibartfast> nikitis, when especially you are a developer developing 64 based softwares and again this is a setback coz not many people have started using 64-bit systems, many are still with the 32-bit system, but I must guarantee you that 64-bit linux systems are very great
[14:57] <jrib> nikitis: works for me
[14:57] <Asterix> Is it possible to use the update manager to go 7.10 -> 8.10 or do I have to upgrade to 8.04 first?
[14:57] <xiroV> neozen, What do you mean about "wacom"?
[14:58] <Great_Gatsby> i still cant connect to my wireless router
[14:58] <bazhang> Asterix, need to do 8.0.4
[14:58] <Great_Gatsby> the f'ing green light is on
[14:58] <Great_Gatsby> but im not getting through
[14:58] <nikitis> jrib: Only java application I use is Azureus
[14:58] <apeiron> I thought the openjdk was the same as the standard JDK except that the code is GPL'd?
[14:58] <Asterix> bazhang: that's kinda lame
[14:58] <ikonia> Great_Gatsby: I don't need to see "f'ing" - if you can't say it wihtout implying swearing - don't say it
[14:58] <raven> my wifi refuses to connect today, it sees the network, but just keeps asking for auth info and not connecting
[14:58] <jrib> nikitis: sun provides java for 64 bit, it just doesn't provide a plugin for your browser
[14:58] <neozen> xiroV: wait.... meant synaptics.... was my understanding touchpads are usually compatible with each other
[14:58] <xiroV> neozen, Well.. The touchpad is working.. but i miss a driver for it... I had to install a driver in windows too, but i could use the touchpad without.. it just makes the movement more smooth.
[14:59] <Slartibartfast> linny, why don't you try the mkisofs on commandline, been using it
[14:59] <neozen> xiroV: hmm
[14:59] <nikitis> jrib: ah so openjava is for browsers then
[14:59] <Great_Gatsby> and i cant use the b43 driver
[14:59] <neozen> xiroV: couldn't tell you
[14:59] <Great_Gatsby> i hit enable it downloaded and installed it but wont let me use it
[14:59] <jrib> nikitis: no open java provides a jre as well if you want
[14:59] <neozen> xiroV: most of the posts I see on the ubuntu forums don't seem to have a problem w/ the touchpad out of the box
[14:59] <linny> Slartibartfast pls explain ?
[14:59] <PeskyJ> Great_Gatsby: how is your router set up? can you see it in network manager? is it open or WEP, WPA, WPA2? are you supplying the keys correctly?
[14:59] <neozen> xiroV: thus my puzzlement
[14:59] <apeiron> heh. Java without a JRE is kinda useless. :)
[14:59] <Great_Gatsby> yes PeskyJ
[14:59] <Great_Gatsby> the light is on
[15:00] <a3Dman> yo HotBreeze
[15:00] <Great_Gatsby> im connected to it
[15:00] <Great_Gatsby> but im not getting a connection
[15:00] <HotBreeze> b43 driver just > 2.6.24.19
[15:00] <Great_Gatsby> http://pastebin.com/m25d026fb
[15:00] <fde> nikitis: it has a plugin that can work with browsers, yes... its openjdk though not openjava - and it is basically the same thing as sun-java6 just more free
[15:00] <HotBreeze> yo a3Dman
[15:00] <SOURdiesel> ikonia: when i try again should i upgrade or clean install 8.10?
[15:00] <fde> nikitis: it is essentially the upstream for sun-java6
[15:00] <ikonia> SOURdiesel: up to you
[15:00] <xiroV> neozen, using a touchpad without a driver, is like using one of the old mouses with a ball inside, with the cencors really dirty.. if you know what i mean..
[15:00] <Tyrath> I'm having trouble printing. Here is my error report http://www.pastebin.ca/1260423. I've already tried to update the printer driver according to the registries, all of which I've uncommented so the necessary updates should be taking place.
[15:00] <nikitis> jrib: is there a way to upgrade your 32-bit machine to 64 without uninstalling off of your configurations or is it just better to?
[15:01] <SOURdiesel> ikonia: i heard clean install worked better.  but then again like you say, user.
[15:01] <SOURdiesel> hehe
[15:01] <raven> my wifi will not work today, has been working fine even just last night, but now keeps not connecting after asking for auth
[15:01] <ikonia> SOURdiesel I'd rather see a clean install, but thats not practical for everyone
[15:01] <jrib> nikitis: there is no way other than reinstalling
[15:01] <neozen> xiroV: OHHH YEAH I gotcha... just never really was a big touchpad guy... tend to prefer the nipple mouse in the middle of my keyboard
[15:01] <PeskyJ> Great_Gatsby: well that's odd... it appears as wlan0 for me, not eth1
[15:01] <ikonia> SOURdiesel: thats only a personal opinion though
[15:01] <SOURdiesel> ikonia: cool.
[15:01] <Great_Gatsby> what PeskyJ ?
[15:01] <xiroV> well.. i have read some articles about touchpad driver in linux, but i couldnt find any exact explanation on how to install it.
[15:01] <fde> SOURdiesel: if you have things backed up, or don't care about losing anything, you can go ahead and clean-install, it'll result in a cleaner system ... keep in mind though that Ubuntu does a lot of work to ensure upgrades are seamless and do not leave cruft around.
[15:01] <Great_Gatsby> thats irrelevant
[15:01] <derryz> hai
[15:01] <Heatryn2> when I install ubuntu server, is it possible to edit the kernel like in gentoo ?
[15:01] <Great_Gatsby> you have a different card
[15:01] <nikitis> jrib: ok i have a separate root patition,  i'll just reformat it
[15:02] <Slartibartfast> linny, use: mkisofs -r -J -o cd_image.iso /directory to create the iso image then to burn, cdrecord dev=/dev/cdrom driveropts=burnfree -v -data <imagepath>cd_image.iso
[15:02] <xiroV> neozen, well.. i have read some articles about touchpad driver in linux, but i couldnt find any exact explanation on how to install it.
[15:02] <SOURdiesel> fde: thanks.
[15:02] <bjb1959> I have a friend with a hp desktop that stops during boot with an ACPI error   cannot turn cooling device 'on' and he has to reboot several times before it actually boots. any ideas??
[15:02] <nikitis> jrib: one last question, how well does wine or other 32-bit only programs run in 64bit ubuntu?
[15:02] <jrib> nikitis: wine works fine
[15:02] <nikitis> backwards compatibility etc
[15:03] <fde> PeskyJ: A network device and be called makemysysteminsecure for all the system cares - its not a hard coded thing at all
[15:03] <neozen> xiroV: yeah, couldn't tell you... sorry I couldn't be of more help... thought your touchpad wasn't working @ all
[15:03] <xiroV> neozen, well.. im just trying to get used to touchpad.. but its so stupid when the movements is so rough, you kno..
[15:03] <nikitis> jrib: do you install wine the same way?
[15:03] <nicku> ikonia: is it okay if i pm you
[15:03] <Tyrath> I'm on Ibex - i don't know if I mentioned that above
[15:03] <ikonia> nicku just ask in here
[15:03] <thelonecabbage> Did anyone have problems with configuring display on thinkpad x30 xubuntu 8.10??
[15:03] <PeskyJ> fde: cool
[15:03] <jrib> nikitis: yes
[15:03] <fde> PeskyJ: standard default naming conventions however will make it wlan0 or eth1 depending on the device
[15:04] <jsquared> after I closed a remote VNC connection and got back to my physical local computer, my desktop background was replaced by a solid color. how do I get it back?
[15:04] <xiroV> neozen, No problem dude :) thanks for taking your time, anyways :)
[15:04] <nikitis> jrib: Ok, thanks for all of your help
[15:04] <linny> Slartibartfast: thats fine i understand how to create and burn the iso but i dont know anything about the dvd formats what type of files do i make the iso from i dont even have any video_ts folders or vobs just these mpgs and xmls are they ok ?
[15:04] <PeskyJ> Great_Gatsby: so the problem is that although it's connected, you're not getting an IP address?
[15:04] <replacenf> has anyone here replaced  human-icon-theme and tangerine-icon-theme with GPLed alternatives?
[15:04] <neozen> xiroV: wouldn't know... when I use the one on my T41, seems about as smooth as I'd expect (which is to say.... bad... since its a touchpad ;) )
[15:04] <Great_Gatsby> i guess PeskyJ
[15:04] <fde> Great_Gatsby: does 'iwlist scanning' return anything at all?
[15:04] <nicku> ikonia: how much have you tested linux and ad joins.. is it possible to get anything more out of winbind than only logins
[15:04] <Great_Gatsby> yes fdd
[15:04] <neozen> xiroV: one of the reasons I shut it off
[15:05] <bjb1959> any fix for acpi error   cannot turn cooling device on  at boot?
[15:05] <Great_Gatsby> its not a wireless card problem
[15:05] <PeskyJ> Great_Gatsby: if your router has wired connections too, have you tried connecting to its config page and seeing what's going on?
[15:05] <Great_Gatsby> i've switched out five cards and none work
[15:05] <neozen> xiroV: any other problems?
[15:05] <xiroV> neozen, well.. i don't think touchpads are bad.. the can get really easy to use, and smooth, if you just got a driver for it.
[15:05] <neozen> xiroV: or questions?
[15:05] <gwennn> hi everybody!!!
[15:05] <fde> Great_Gatsby: then  what is the issue currently? System > Preferences > Network Configuration look fine? (if there is wireless security, you'll need to enter that stuff here)
[15:05] <xiroV> neozen, but they sure is a pain in the @ss to use without, thou
[15:06] <neozen> xiroV: heh
[15:06] <xiroV> neozen, and yea.. i actually got a problem
[15:06] <Slartibartfast> linny, whendo they appear?
[15:06] <Slartibartfast> gwennn, Hi you
[15:06] <gwennn> I have a big problem: can't saving mi visual settings
[15:07] <fde> Great_Gatsby: if iwlist scanning returns network info then your card is working, just not configured correctly... so lets get to configuring it.
[15:07] <gwennn> every time i login 8.10 gaves me the no visual effects setting
[15:07] <ubd> how do i add a start up program i run xubuntu
[15:07] <linny> Slartibartfast: at the end of the process in the output folder im left with xml files and mpg file rather than the proper disk stucture or iso prevoiusly selected
[15:07] <xiroV> neozen, you know on laptops.. there usually is a way to turn volume up or down... on my laptop it worked fine, untill some weeks ago.. now i can only turn the sound up and down, using the mouse, manually.. if you know what it mean..
[15:07] <g33k> How to make backup of whole system [kubuntu 8.10]
[15:08] <fde> ubd: in its settings thing... there should be a 'session' option... click it and add it from there
[15:08] <neozen> xiroV: ok..... (did just find something for you btw...) in a terminal type "dmesg | grep 'ImPS/2' " sans double quots
[15:08] <NET||abuse> hmm, really don'tlike the default bullet style that OOo writer does,, is there a way to imporve that?
[15:08] <Polysics> hi all
[15:08] <linny> g33k: google remastersys
[15:08] <Slart> !backup | g33k, see of some of these do the job
[15:08] <Polysics> anyone has experience with red5 media server on ubuntu?
[15:08] <jsquared> my desktop background is a solid color right now instead of a wallpaper, even though I have a valid wallpaper selected. how do I fix this?
[15:08] <ubd> fde there is no option to add anything there
[15:08] <neozen> xiroV: yep... have the same problem on xubuntu... they seem to have disabled the volume control keys having an effect on the volume control panel applet
[15:09] <xiroV> neozen, the volume box appears when i turn volume up and down, but apparently it doesn't work..
[15:09] <neozen> xiroV: still getting to the bottom of that over here ;)
[15:09] <fde> ubd: then ask in #xubuntu or #xfce probably... I'm not familiar really with its tools
[15:09] <ubd> fde ok i found it
[15:09] <neozen> xiroV: 'doesn't work?'
[15:09] <ubd> thanks
[15:09] <Slartibartfast> linny, may be you should remember to use that trailing slashes with an asterick to select all files inside a particular folder i.e foldername/*
[15:09] <bjb1959> any body know if there is any fix for acpi error cannot turn cooling device on  at boot?
[15:09] <Ximal> to the guy who was having trouble with his vbox earlier ... ( not me ikonia ) i put a paste bin up on how to fix the issue http://pastebin.com/m3b556e79 < --- here .... it isn't 100% fool proof.. but if i can do it... anyone can
[15:09] <replacenf> has anyone here replaced  human-icon-theme and tangerine-icon-theme with GPLed alternatives?
[15:09] <neozen> xiroV: as in... doesn't actually change the volume in the hardware?
[15:09] <replacenf> or BSD ones?
[15:10] <n8tuser> bjb1959-> dont know, but maybe look around your bios for any settings related to apm or acpi ?
[15:10] <fde> replacenf: um, why would you want to license artwork under GPL?
[15:10] <apeiron> fde, Think of original images as 'source code'.
[15:11] <xiroV> neozen, Exactly.. it doesn't turn the volume up or down, even thou it appears to, on the screen
[15:11] <Tyrath> how do I set a default media player?
[15:11] <neozen> xiroV: greaaat
[15:11] <gwennn> should anyone give me the name for the visual settings?
[15:11] <xiroV> neozen, What was does commands? O.o
[15:11] <neozen> xiroV: did you try running that dmesg command I sent you?
[15:11] <fde> apeiron: eh... I'd put it under an artistic license - which I think it is  :/
[15:11] <neozen> xiroV: dmesg pokes the kernel and sees what's been happening since startup
[15:11] <xiroV> neozen, was it 1 command, or 2?
[15:11] <Tyrath> I can't do system -> prefs -> removable devices and media cause its not in my GUI
[15:11] <mystery> hello everyone
[15:12] <neozen> xiroV: grep searches through standard input (or a file) and displays lines containing a specified regular expression
[15:12] <mystery> Does anyone know how to save script to the home directory?
[15:12] <bazhang> !ccsm | gwennn
[15:12] <fde> replacenf: tango isn't gpl, and is infact I believe non-gpl compatible - so human can never be gpl legally unless tango changes their license
[15:12] <neozen> xiroV: was two... one piped into the other
[15:12] <neozen> xiroV: will resend wait 1
[15:13] <gwennn> thanks ubottu
[15:13] <neozen> xiroV: ok..... (did just find something for you btw...) in a terminal type "dmesg | grep 'ImPS/2' " sans double quotes
[15:13] <replacenf> fde> artwork that is free, human-icon-theme and tangerine-icon-theme  are not free packages. sudo apt-get install vrms and the run vrms
[15:13] <willytell_> someone has to deal with gspca webcams (video4linux)? I'm in trouble with it... could you help me?
[15:13] <apeiron> fde, Do you mean *the* Artistic license, or something like CC?
[15:14] <xiroV> so i should just copy/paste "dmesg | grep 'ImPS/2'" into terminal?
[15:14] <mystery>  Does anyone know how to save script to the home directory?
[15:14] <neozen> yep
[15:14] <xiroV> neozen, so i should just copy/paste "dmesg | grep 'ImPS/2'" into terminal?
[15:14] <neozen> xiroV: with no double quotes
[15:14] <xiroV> neozen, kk
[15:14] <jsquared> how do I change my desktop background? it's locked onto a solid color right now, and I can't make it use wallpaper instead
[15:14] <Great_Gatsby> i know fde
[15:14] <Great_Gatsby> im connected
[15:14] <Great_Gatsby> im connected PeskyJ
[15:14] <replacenf> has anyone here replaced  human-icon-theme and tangerine-icon-theme with free as in freedom alternatives?
[15:14] <nuxis> Hey, I just installed intrepid and I'm trying to let my wireless card works. It worked fine in hardy and previous releases but now I can't compile my source, I got the build-essential, kernel headers etc... but I keep getting this : http://pastebin.com/m296989e4
[15:14] <fde> replacenf: Ubuntu is for open source AND free software - not one OR the other... anyway, like I said, unless tango changes license, tango and tangerine can't as tangos license is non-compatible.

[15:15] <neozen> xiroV: may see a line looks like this: 'input: ImPS/2 Generic Wheel Mouse'
[15:15] <xiroV> neozen, so.. what now?
[15:15] <neozen> xiroV: do you see the line?
[15:15] <jsquared> thiebaude: that's what I've been doing. but when I change, it only changes the color of the background
[15:15] <jsquared> thiebaude: I can pick different wallpapers but they have no effect
[15:15] <xiroV> neozen, So i have to paste it as 2 seperate commands?
[15:16] <neozen> no
[15:16] <fde> apeiron: It might be under one of the Creative Commons licenses actually, I'm not sure... look on tango-project.org
[15:16] <Great_Gatsby> PeskyJ,
[15:16] <fde> apeiron: either way its not compatible with GPL
[15:16] <Great_Gatsby> its not a router problem
[15:16] <ruxpin> where's tcmplex? it's not in the transcode package
[15:16] <PeskyJ> Great_Gatsby: yes?
[15:16] <mystery>  Does anyone know how to save script to the home directory?
[15:16] <Great_Gatsby> my router shows im connected but its saying the connection is inactive
[15:16] <xiroV> neozen, if i just paste it in the same line, nothing appears
 OK but there muste be free as in freedom alternatives artwork packages that can replace human-icon-theme and tangerine-icon-theme,  right?
[15:16] <Great_Gatsby> its assigned an ip address
[15:16] <apeiron> fde, tango.freedesktop.org perhaps?
[15:16] <neozen> xiroV: might've built the regex wrong following line will be command just paste straight in:
[15:17] <neozen> xiroV: dmesg | grep "Generic Wheel Mouse"
[15:17] <PeskyJ> Great_Gatsby: I thought you fixed it?
[15:17] <fde> replacenf: No idea, I don't much appreciate such distinctions.
[15:17] <Great_Gatsby> no
[15:17] <thiebaude> jsquared: i dont know what to say
[15:17] <Great_Gatsby> i cant connect
[15:17] <neozen> xiroV: leave those double quotes in
[15:17] <Great_Gatsby> i had to restart because i turned off the firewall
[15:17] <xiroV> neozen, still nothing appears
[15:17] <diamond_gr> Hello. Need some help that I couldn't know how to search the net for. So I decided to join IRC. Hope it works.
[15:17] <nuxis> Anyone an idea about the madwifi issue ?
[15:17] <jsquared> thiebaude: ah, nm. fixed it!
[15:18] <fde> apeiron: ahh, yes... been a while since I went to their site, guess they moved
[15:18] <PeskyJ> Great_Gatsby: but you just declared that you were connected then immediately quit
[15:18] <neozen> xiroV: hmmm.... one more
[15:18] <thiebaude> jsquared: how did you fix it?
[15:18] <Great_Gatsby> http://pastebin.com/m72635a60
have you  yourself  replaced  human-icon-theme and tangerine-icon-theme with free as in freedom alternatives?
[15:18] <Great_Gatsby> no
[15:18] <neozen> xiroV: dmesg | grep "ALPS GlidePoint"
[15:18] <apeiron> CC-BY-SA. Definitely not GPL.
[15:18] <Great_Gatsby> im connected to the router
[15:18] <Great_Gatsby> im not getting a connection
[15:18] <jsquared> nothing fancy. just went mucking around in the configuration editor. desktop/background/draw_background was unchecked for some reason
[15:18] <apeiron> replacenf, No, though I'd like to. :)
[15:18] <Great_Gatsby> i didnt quit i had to restart
[15:18] <thiebaude> cool
[15:18] <Ximal> anyone know if there is a messenger program via web interface for irc... something like meebo.com ?
[15:18] <apeiron> replacenf, Though to be honest I don't see the icons that frequently.
[15:19] <UnknownUser58> Ximal:mibbit
[15:19] <xiroV> neozen, following line appeared: [   46.207429] input: AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint as /devices/platform/i8042/serio1/input/input8
[15:19] <fde> apeiron: artwork isn't really compatible with GPL goals though... you don't really want people changing your work when its artwork, you just want to give them permission to use it.
[15:19] <diamond_gr> It might be simple. I try to change the login screen and the splash screen (Start up manager). Login screen application asks me for password and it deosn't open.
[15:19] <n8tuser> Great_Gatsby-> paste your  route -n  too
[15:19] <mystery>  Does anyone know how to save script to the home directory?
[15:19] <Ximal> mibbit don't let me use it like a messenger anddoesn't include freenode ...
[15:19] <apeiron> fde, Depends.
[15:19] <PeskyJ> Great_Gatsby: so you're connected but you're not connected? I'm afraid that makes no sense to me
[15:19] <Ximal> hmm... brb
[15:19] <diamond_gr> Same with Start up manager when I try to browse for the file to change.
[15:19] <apeiron> fde, I've created works that I'd love to see people remix so long as they give me attribution.
[15:19] <neozen> xiroV: ok.... so the kernel knows its an ALPS and not a generic mouse....
[15:20] <neozen> xiroV: apparently at one point, that's the driver the mouse module loaded for your touchpad.... yours seems to have the proper behavior though
[15:20] <NicEXE> When I launch some games and some 3d screensavers (most of them works fine) the textures are shown fine at the first but after about a half second they end up scrambled (if I have 2 textures texture A on object 1 and texture B on object 2 it will scramble things up and give me texture A on object 2 and texture B on object 1) How to fix it?
[15:20] <gangsterlicious> i have an emergency situation requires me to use resize_reiserfs. resize_reiserfs 3.6.19 (2003 www.namesys.com) "You are running BETA version of reiserfs shrinker. This version is only for testing or VERY CAREFUL use."
[15:20] <gangsterlicious> would it be ok? this is 8.04 TLS server edi
[15:20] <fde> apeiron: CC SA license allows for that.
[15:20] <Great_Gatsby> n8tuser, http://pastebin.com/m4f90a118
[15:20] <apeiron> fde, Right, I know.
[15:20] <gangsterlicious> s/TLS/LTS
[15:21] <xiroV> neozen, uhm?
[15:21] <Great_Gatsby> the green light on my dsl router is on n8tuser but when i unplug the wired connection i cant get online
[15:21] <neozen> xiroV: ahhh.... got something more for you
[15:21] <n8tuser> Great_Gatsby-> same pc you are using for  wireless and wired?
[15:21] <Great_Gatsby> yes
[15:22] <NicEXE> When I launch some games and some 3d screensavers (most of them works fine) the textures are shown fine at the first but after about a half second they end up scrambled (if I have 2 textures texture A on object 1 and texture B on object 2 it will scramble things up and give me texture A on object 2 and texture B on object 1) How to fix it?
[15:22] <kmg_> what the hell, now i've got ath_pci.o but not ath_pci.ko, don't I need ath_pci.ko ?
[15:22] <fde> apeiron: the GPL requires you to provide source code for art though, which is rather difficult as the actual image is really only equivalent to the binary of an app...
[15:22] <fde> (unless we're talking SVG art)
[15:22] <n8tuser> Great_Gatsby-> that would not work easily, how would your host know which route the eth0 or eth1 to get to the gateway?
[15:23] <Great_Gatsby> its never been a problem before n8tuser
[15:23] <engemec> Good afternoon!
[15:23] <neozen> xiroV: perhaps this will be of help: http://www.felipe-alfaro.org/blog/2005/08/19/alps-glidepoint-under-linux-with-xorg/
[15:23] <Great_Gatsby> i normally dont use wired
[15:23] <Pedrolito> I just installed the firefox 3.0.4 update, but now the sarch box doesn't work anymore. Anyone else has the same problem?
[15:23] <n8tuser> Great_Gatsby-> not when both of them are active at same time
[15:23] <Great_Gatsby> but my wireless suddenly stopped working four weeks ago
[15:23] <Dorobo18jp> ubottu thank for the info compiling is a little out of my skill range at the moment thanks anyway
[15:23] <neozen> xiroV: once you have the actual make / model of specific hardware, its ALOT easier to locate information
[15:23] <fde> Dorobo18jp: there are no skills involved in compiling anything....
[15:24] <Great_Gatsby> i've been doing it for years n8tuser
[15:24] <Dorobo18jp> i cant figure it out
[15:24] <Great_Gatsby> never caused any problems
[15:24] <n8tuser> Great_Gatsby-> so you decide now, wired or wireless but not both at the same time,  can be both but you hve to fiddle with the route table and its for advanced users..
[15:24] <fde> Dorobo18jp: (well, unless it fails and you have to figure out why)
[15:24] <neozen> xiroV: directions are for redhat, but the xorg.conf pieces should be similar
[15:24] <xiroV> neozen, okay.. well.. can you give me a fast explanation on what "x.org" is? i see that everywhere
[15:24] <Great_Gatsby> all i have to do is unplug the wired connection and wireless takes over
[15:24] <Great_Gatsby> but wireless wont connect
[15:24] <Dorobo18jp> i cant make a directory i can configure it i cant run it just goingto give up fortonight
[15:24] <n8tuser> Great_Gatsby-> thats fine, only one at a time
[15:24] <nuxis> Hey, I just installed intrepid and I'm trying to let my wireless card works. It worked fine in hardy and previous releases but now I can't compile my source, I got the build-essential, kernel headers etc... but I keep getting this : http://pastebin.com/m296989e4
[15:25] <PeskyJ> Great_Gatsby: if you set up the network manager then it should auro-connect to your wireless network and update your route table when you unplug the wired connection
[15:25] <n8tuser> !who | Great_Gatsby
[15:25] <neozen> xiroV: sure.... very fast (am @ work heh)
[15:25] <fde> Dorobo18jp: all you need is to type: ./configure && make && make install  inside the source dir
[15:25] <zeno___> if im transferring files to my samba share over wireless with grsync and the link goes out, can i continue the transfer>
[15:25] <Great_Gatsby> yes i know PeskyJ
[15:25] <zeno___> ?
[15:25] <kmg_> does anybody know what I have to do to get madwifi drivers working?
[15:25] <fde> Dorobo18jp: might need to set a different root though... but that's about it.
[15:25] <neozen> xiroV: xorg is the graphical system most unixes use
[15:25] <NicEXE> When I launch some games and some 3d screensavers (most of them works fine) the textures are shown fine at the first but after about a half second they end up scrambled (if I have 2 textures texture A on object 1 and texture B on object 2 it will scramble things up and give me texture A on object 2 and texture B on object 1) How to fix it?
[15:26] <gwennn> ill no luck!
[15:26] <TJ-42> which configuration file contains which groups a user belongs to?
[15:26] <gwennn> still
[15:26] <Tyrath> would anyone be able to help me enable printing on an ibex with a deskjet 930c ?
[15:26] <fde> TJ-42: umm, /etc/group  (not plural)
[15:26] <neozen> xiroV: on top of that you have your desktop environment (such as KDE, GNOME, XFCE, fluxbox) and various gui programs which run within it
[15:26] <Dorobo18jp> and this is a noob question how do i make thhe scr dir and how do i type in it i am a total noob lol
[15:26] <xiroV> neozen, Ahh.. okay.. so x.org is simply a GUI ?
[15:26] <TJ-42> fde: ah, heh, thanks :-)
[15:26] <Tyrath> I think the file used is hplip
[15:26] <neozen> xiroV: ......X.org is more a graphical backend
[15:26] <fde> Dorobo18jp: what is the file called that you downloaded?
[15:26] <nuxis> Hey, I just installed intrepid and I'm trying to let my wireless card works. It worked fine in hardy and previous releases but now I can't compile my source, I got the build-essential, kernel headers etc... but I keep getting this : http://pastebin.com/m296989e4
[15:26] <gwennn> everytime I logoff I'm loosing all my settings
[15:26] <n8tuser> Great_Gatsby-> your hint there is, when you wanted to use wireless, your route table should reflect usage of eth1(wireless) but what you pasted reflects eth0(wired?)
[15:27] <Tyrath> but i can't update it because it won't let me, all it does is give me hints on locating the repositories which doesn't help me one bit
[15:27] <xiroV> neozen, Ah.. so x.org is a place where the gui works on? or something like that?
[15:27] <fde> TJ-42: remember that primary group is defined in /etc/passwd though
[15:27] <gwennn> Is there a file I can edit on xwindows?
[15:27] <Tyrath> - the repositories are already up to date and i've upgraded stacks of times
[15:27] <neozen> xiroV: a workhorse which graphical toolkits use to actually color the pixels on-screen and get input from the mouse/keyboard etc when in GUI mode
[15:27] <lukasz_> hi
[15:27] <n8tuser> Great_Gatsby-> now you know why your wireless (eth1) is not going anywhere
[15:28] <Great_Gatsby> thats not the reason n8tuser
[15:28] <neozen> xiroV: a VERY rough (and probably grossly inaccurate comparison would be directX)
[15:28] <Great_Gatsby> i wasnt using a wired connection when it suddenly stopped working
[15:28] <Dorobo18jp> blackjack_for_the_hopelessly_luckless.tar it sitting on my desk top atm
[15:28] <Great_Gatsby> im only using wired now because i cant use wireless
[15:28] <xiroV> neozen, Ah... okay :) well.. thanks.. won't bother you anymore ^^ i'll see if i can make it work
[15:28] <NicEXE> When I launch some games and some 3d screensavers (most of them works fine) the textures are shown fine at the first but after about a half second they end up scrambled (if I have 2 textures texture A on object 1 and texture B on object 2 it will scramble things up and give me texture A on object 2 and texture B on object 1) How to fix it?
[15:28] <n8tuser> Great_Gatsby-> if you dont think so, then if you dont have a good route table, then you are not getting anywhere
[15:29] <neozen> xiroV: think your getting it
[15:29] <neozen> xiroV: more information: www.x.org
[15:29] <nuxis> Hey, I just installed intrepid and I'm trying to let my wireless card works. It worked fine in hardy and previous releases but now I can't compile my source, I got the build-essential, kernel headers etc... but I keep getting this : http://pastebin.com/m296989e4
[15:29] <gwennn> I instaled compiz but when I loggin I must start visual effects via desktop appearance
[15:29] <fde> neozen: X has nothing in common with DirectX ... Mesa - or even better SDL -  would be a more accurate example...
[15:30] <fde> neozen: Mesa is the part of X that handles 3D... SDL though is the complete deal targeted at gamers etc
[15:30] <Great_Gatsby> route -n didnt return anything for  eth1 n8tuser
[15:30] <gwennn> so everytime I must do it manually because i have no effects from defaults
[15:30] <jjulian> hi i got a problem with nvidia drivers
[15:31] <erUSUL> fde: Mesa is a free implementation of OpenGL. The binary drivers of nvidia (and ati probably) ship with its own implementation...
[15:31] <jjulian> as long as they're installed i cant open nautilus corecclty
[15:31] <jjulian> its greyed out the whole thing
[15:31] <jjulian> if i start it via sudo nautilus it works
[15:31] <Dorobo18jp> fde didyou get that
[15:31] <jjulian> also i cant change user
[15:31] <n8tuser> Great_Gatsby-> try to restart your wireless interface so the kernel puts the entry in your route table
[15:32] <xiroV> neozen, :)
[15:32] <neozen> fde: nods
[15:32] <jjulian> i get an error that xserver couldnt be startet 3 times failed
[15:32] <fde> erUSUL: sure, but that's not part of X either... I was just trying to point out that X is a set of protocols, it doesn't actually handle graphics directly...
[15:32] <Pedrolito> I just installed the firefox 3.0.4 update, but now the sarch box doesn't work anymore. Anyone else has the same problem?
[15:32] <neozen> fde: was just thinking in terms of responsibilities
[15:32] <neozen> fde: not technology
[15:32] <erUSUL> fde: ok
[15:33] <fde> Dorobo18jp: no... you messaged me? if you're not identified I won't receive them
[15:33] <neozen> fde: no shared codebase naturally
[15:33] <Dorobo18jp> blackjack_for_the_hopelessly_luckless.tar
[15:33] <Dorobo18jp> its sitting on my desktop
[15:33] <Pici> fde: freenode no longer blocks unidentified users from sending private messages.
[15:34] <fde> erUSUL: I was trying to correct the statement by neozen that X can be compared to DirectX, they are so far removed from each other that its just laughable...
[15:34] <Korogiannos> Hi. Could someone point me in the right direction for playing streaming windows media in hardy?
[15:35] <fde> Pici: Why not? I don't want random bots bothering me about porn  :/
[15:35] <neozen> xiroV: see.... still learning myself ;)
[15:35] <erUSUL> fde: yep SDL == (roughly) part of DirectX
[15:35] <nuxis> nvm I fixed the problem blacklisting ath9k and using svn to get the latest driver and running the scripts thanks for no help
[15:35] <neozen> fde: hehe... as I said... was probably a very inaccurate comparision
[15:35] <wild_oscar> hi there. I seem to have lost sound on my laptop after upgrading to Intrepid. all I can hear are some clicking noises when sound should be running. any idea how to fix this?
[15:35] <erUSUL> w32codecs | Korogiannos
[15:36] <erUSUL> !w32codecs | Korogiannos
[15:36] <Dorobo18jp> fde: the file name is blackjack_for_the_hopelessly_luckless.tar it is sitting on my deskktop now
[15:36] <Korogiannos> Many thanks
[15:36] <neozen> fde: never really delved into the guts of X..... haven't ever needed to
[15:36] <fde> neozen: you can't even compare them... you're basically comparing TCP to yahoo.com
[15:37] <neozen> fde: lol
[15:37] <neozen> fde: point taken
[15:37] <NicEXE> When I launch some games and some 3d screensavers (most of them works fine) the textures are shown fine at the first but after about a half second they end up scrambled (if I have 2 textures texture A on object 1 and texture B on object 2 it will scramble things up and give me texture A on object 2 and texture B on object 1) How to fix it?
[15:37] <xiroV> neozen, Sure ^^ I think it would be kinda boring if everyone knew everything ;)
[15:37] <fde> Dorobo18jp: tar xf ~/Desktop/<that> ... it should create a new directory in the same place... cd into that and do what I said.
[15:38] <n8tuser> Great_Gatsby-> how did it go?
[15:38] <xiroV> neozen, but i really don't understand the link you send me..
[15:38] <yogandra> can any tell me to change my ubuntu themes look like mac
[15:38] <bazhang> gnome-look.org yogandra check there
[15:38] <neozen> xiroV: or it would mean everything would be due for SERIOUS change b/c it would mean there was no more innovation
[15:39] <xiroV> neozen, should i just do what it tells me, and it should work?
[15:39] <TJ-42> I just created a new group and added two users to it.  When I try to do chown mainuser:newgroup directory, it gives me "invalid group mainuser:newgroup"  What am I doing wrong?
[15:39] <fde> neozen: well, more accurately to something like javascript actually ... but you get the idea
[15:40] <Nece228> why in kubunut 8.10 xorg uses 10% cpu in idle, and when i open window and dont do anythink it gets on 30%
[15:40] <Nece228> this happens to ubuntu too
[15:40] <yogandra> bazhang, does it slow down the computer?
[15:40] <NicEXE> When I launch some games and some 3d screensavers (most of them works fine) the textures are shown fine at the first but after about a half second they end up scrambled (if I have 2 textures texture A on object 1 and texture B on object 2 it will scramble things up and give me texture A on object 2 and texture B on object 1) How to fix it?
[15:40] <DHPDShar> dam
[15:40] <bazhang> yogandra, a theme? very unlikely
[15:40] <fde> Nece228: it certainly shouldn't be...
[15:41] <massimo8697> ciao a tutti
[15:41] <Nece228> fde: yeah
[15:41] <Nece228> fde: dunno how to fix that
[15:41] <bazhang> !it | massimo8697
[15:41] <xiroV> neozen, ?
[15:41] <yogandra> bazhang, yes. Does it slow down system?
[15:41] <fde> Nece228: hard to diagnose without a lot more info... for instance what driver you using?
[15:41] <jtisme> how do i download ubuntu package updates and install them at a later date
[15:41] <bazhang> yogandra, very unlikely
[15:41] <Dorobo18jp> fde: im done fo rtonight i will try again tomorrow getting to frustrated thanks for the help
[15:41] <wild_oscar> I seem to have lost sound on my laptop after upgrading to Intrepid. all I can hear are some clicking noises when sound should be running. any idea how to fix this?
[15:41] <Nece228> fde: open source, also this happens with flgrx
[15:42] <dj_def> can anybody see this video till the end without flash plugin blocks? http://www.metacafe.com/watch/2051615/cutest_kitten/
[15:42] <kmg_> is there a package that contains the ath5k driver?
[15:42] <Nece228> fde: when i turn off compiz problem dont solves
[15:42] <yogandra> bazhang, Do you know other good themes?
[15:42] <neozen> xiroV: other option is take a look @ the ubuntuforums searching for glidepoint
[15:42] <bazhang> yogandra, check for imetal
[15:42] <fde> jtisme: System > Administration > Software Source ... updates tab ... mid way down, hit "Download in the background"
[15:42] <yogandra> bazhang, thanks
[15:42] <jtisme> fde thanks
[15:43] <fde> Nece228: even with compiz it shouldn't be going that nuts....
[15:43] <Nece228> fde: and in hardy i dont notice that
[15:43] <Pedrolito> dj_def, I can
[15:43] <massimo_> ciao a tutti
[15:43] <fde> Nece228: could be poor support for your card though, I don't know honestly... I just avoid ATI though
[15:44] <bazhang> massimo_, #ubuntu-it
[15:44] <yogandra> Does any know network simulator for ubuntu 8.1?
[15:44] <fde> Nece228: hardy and intrepid Xorg versions are pretty different
[15:44] <DIFH-iceroot> using hardy with multiverse-repo there is no sun-java6-jdk, just all other sun-java6-files and openjdk, how to get the real javadjk from sun?
[15:44] <fde> yogandra: what do you mean by simulator?
[15:44] <Dreamglider> after upgrading from 8.04 to 8.10 when i reboot i get -> kernel panic -not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)
[15:45] <xiroV> neozen, okay.. thanks
[15:45] <Nece228> fde: hardy has 7.2 and intrepid 7.3 do you know solution?
[15:45] <fde> yogandra: there are many definitions that are possible for 'network simulator'
[15:45] <dj_def> Pedrolito, what ubuntu and flash version do you have?
[15:45] <fde> Nece228: hardy has 7.3 and intrepid has 7.4 actually, but no, I don't know.
[15:45] <yogandra> fde, means virtual network?
[15:45] <neozen> xiroV: you are most welcome, sorry I couldn't be of more help
[15:46] <fde> yogandra: so via a virtual machine or something?
[15:46] <yogandra> fde, Better to say cisco practice tools?
[15:46] <Nece228> fde: did a mistake
[15:46] <regebro> Hmm. I don't know much about sound, but should there really be realtek codec with my Intel card? (MacBook).
[15:46] <yogandra> fde, I have for windows but forget name
[15:47] <NicEXE> When I launch some games and some 3d screensavers (most of them works fine) the textures are shown fine at the first but after about a half second they end up scrambled (if I have 2 textures texture A on object 1 and texture B on object 2 it will scramble things up and give me texture A on object 2 and texture B on object 1) How to fix it?

[16:15] <Joukeee> i dont know how to explain really
[16:15] <edreamleo> I was so happy installing 8.10: video drivers installed semi-automatically.  Now I'm so not happy.  Choosing Appearance Preferences:Visual Effects: Extra dis-installed the video driver, and now may screen looks wretched.  Iirc, somehow I was give a list of video drivers by a video player, and the second one I tried worked really well, but now I'm stuck :-)
[16:15] <kanhiya78> no problem ; it means user that logged in has right to change a language of his own
[16:15] <scampbell> kanhiya78: fde: couldn't he just change LANG and GDM_LANG in the user's .profile?
[16:15] <bmac2> I just upgraded to 8.10 on my work desktop, and now every time I run either virtualbox, or synergy, it makes the mouse no longer function.  Anyone seen this or know how to fix?
[16:16] <kanhiya78> but how to change it
[16:16] <ultraviolet9> How do I force quit the sound preferences dialog?

[16:17] <drewbert> ultraviolet9: don't actually do taht
[16:17] <Joukeee> right click toolbar -> add to panel and then the "Force a misbehaving app to quit"
[16:17] <hwilde> drewbert,that is not a good suggestion
[16:17] <Joukeee> might help
[16:18] <hwilde> ultraviolet9, goto Sytem -> Admin -> System Monitor

[16:25] <drewbert> laptops are generally better at hibernating then desktops
[16:25] <ultraviolet9> Joukee: If you would read the thread you would find I've already tried all of that
[16:25] <hwilde> SOURdiesel, run without making changes.  it just runs off the cd
[16:25] <drewbert> and I have a desktop with a dual boot set up on it.

[16:26] <ultraviolet9> :'(
[16:26] <hwilde> SOURdiesel, you can't resize your partitions while they are active.  that is why you boot from livecd
[16:27] <hwilde> drewbert, do you need help with something?  bc this is the support channel you know
[16:27] <SOURdiesel> bwilde: i booted from live cd and i don't have the resize option.  it's greyed.

[16:34] <kephu> hwilde: I DID THAT ALREADY. 8.10 broke it!
[16:34] <kephu> also, no docs for 8.10, so it's of no use
[16:34] <hwilde> buy a supported wireless card then...
[16:34] <Delvien> hwilde: have those off too
[16:34] <kephu> right, that advice is awesome.

[16:43] <roadfish> maek0: ok, thanks ... so is unreasonable to eliminate all not-authenticated errors (assuming I want things from unsigned repos)
[16:43] <hwilde> Joukeee, if you like mIRC then you would like xchat
[16:43] <karname> hwilde : no i say xampp :http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html
[16:43] <mysteryc> Where can I download the package perl_run from?
[16:43] <Uplink> kephu: by that i mean i solved my wireless problems when i upgraded to 8.04...
[16:44] <Pici> karname: There is no need to install a third party lamp stack on Ubuntu and we will not support your xampp install.  Please use the packages that are in the repositories.
[16:46] <kephu> Uplink: broadcom?
[16:46] <Uplink> kephu: yes
[16:46] <kephu> Uplink: same chipset, perchance?
[16:46] <Uplink> kephu: whats your chipset
[16:47] <Uplink> *wifi card
[16:47] <m2k> SOURdiesel, do you have an encrypted root partition?
[16:47] <Khisanth> mysteryc: what makes you think you need that? that is a function in the perl API
[16:47] <kephu> Uplink: 4328, IIRC
[16:47] <karname> pici : i don't see lampp in my repository , i enable all of repository
[16:47] <Pici> karname: Its not a single package.
[16:48] <Uplink> kephu: i got a 06:02.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4311 [AirForce 54g] 802.11a/b/g PCI Express Transceiver (rev 02)
[16:48] <kephu> Uplink: so, do you use ndis, or have you tried that broadcom STA restricted drivers?
[16:48] <Uplink> kephu: rest drivers ;D
[16:48] <Pici> karname: Running: sudo tasksel    will give you a list of servers that you can install, just select LAMP server and press okay.
[16:48] <Pici> !lamp > karname (for more info)

[16:50] <kephu> Uplink: figures. I assume it's because they need to be downloaded first?
[16:50] <NW2190> Hi, the power shut down on my laptop while I was using a gparted live cd to resize my home partition and now my home directory is unreadable in Ubuntu.  Is there a way to fix this?

[16:50] <kephu> slightly catch-22-ish ;)
[16:50] <wwpiexec> hey.. is there a program, that I can use to help me format postings to ubuntu forums.. using a 1024x768 resolution with the text box being even a fraction of the screen kinda hard to follow... basically I'd like something that'll probably give me a live update on what I type, then I can simply copy and paste the text+code to ubuntu forums..
[16:50] <kmg_> hey, what is linux-image-2.6.27-3-rt ?
[16:51] <oskar-> NW2190:  maybe "testdisk" or "photorec" can help...
[16:51] <apeiron> kmg_, apt-cache show linux-image-2.6.27-3-rt
[16:51] <NW2190> oskar-, is that a command or a option in Gparted?
[16:52] <maxime> serveur francais
[16:52] <Pici> !fr | maxime
[16:52] <oskar-> NW2190: that are two programs, one for recovering partitions, the other for recovering lost files
[16:52] <squarebracket> how do i install a font?

[16:55] <Uplink> kephu: type this "lspci | grep Network"
[16:55] <alex_> is there a fix for the firefox flashplayer (npviewer.bin) half the time it just displays a grey box with only the audio and sometimes forces firefox to crash
[16:55] <Guest52781> can i change from 64 bit to 32 bit without installation
[16:55] <Slart> Guest52781: I don't think so
[16:56] <hwilde> PlaHPoy, can you pastebin the output of "sudo lshw"
[16:56] <PlaHPoy> sure
[16:56] <hwilde> Guest52781, no you have to reinstall.
[16:56] <alisia> memex
[16:56] <Slart> alex_: I think you'll have to wait for the real 64 bit flash plugin
[16:56] <kephu> Uplink: can't, atm. From what I recall, there's the wifi and wired ethernet card
[16:56] <alex_> ok Slart cheers for that
[16:56] <Saykou> hwilde, its just theres so many uncompatiblities
[16:56] <alisia> hi
[16:56] <hwilde> Saykou, depends I guess.
[16:56] <Uplink> kephu: i just want to make sure your system is detecting the wifi
[16:57] <Uplink> cared
[16:57] <Uplink> *card
[16:57] <kephu> however, let me mention this: both ifconfig and iwconfig detect the wlan0 interface - so... huh
[16:57] <hwilde> Uplink, he is in windwos.
[16:57] <Uplink> kephu: oh ok good
[16:57] <Uplink> hwilde: lol thanx
[16:57] <kephu> which makes the problem all the stranger
[16:57] <Uplink> kephu: do you have a cat5 you can plug into your router?
[16:58] <kephu> Uplink, I'll be perfectly honest with you: I have no clue what you mean by cat5 ;)
[16:58] <Uplink> kephu: a blue ethernet cable
[16:58] <compu73rg33k> where is the gnome character palette configuration file stored? does anybody know? I can't seem to find it using various locate commands
[16:58] <kephu> oh, the cable. It's called differently here, so I didn't make the connection
[16:58] <hwilde> compu73rg33k, accessories -> character map  ?
[16:58] <kephu> oh god the pun I apologize
[16:59] <Uplink> lol
[16:59] <hwilde> kephu, cat5 is the international name for that spec :)
[16:59] <compu73rg33k> No hwilde, the character palette that you can add to a panel
[16:59] <hwilde> compu73rg33k, sry I dunno what that is
[16:59] <kephu> hwilde: doesn't automatically mean it's commonly used everywhere ;P
[16:59] <compu73rg33k> I've customized the palettes and would like to save the file so that if I reinstall I don't have to recreate them
[16:59] <hwilde> kephu, connect with a cable and reboot into linux and come back .
[16:59] <Uplink> ok just get a ethernet cable kephu
[16:59] <Uplink> compu73rg33k: im not sure what your trying to do
[17:00] <kephu> will do, just give me a sec
[17:00] <compu73rg33k> Uplink, you know the character palette that you can add to a panel?
[17:00] <Uplink> compu73rg33k: why would you need more than ASCII on your panel?
[17:01] <compu73rg33k> Uplink, have you used the character palette on the panel?
[17:01] <SOURdiesel> hwilde: would the fact that the partitions have key icons next to them have anything to do with not being able to do anything to them even with live cd?
[17:01]  * hwilde doesn't even know what the character panel is
[17:01] <Pici> compu73rg33k: I know what you're talking about, but I only have ssh access at the moment.
[17:01] <Uplink> hwilde: me neither lol
[17:01] <hwilde> SOURdiesel, lol is there an "unlcok" button on your screen
[17:01] <compu73rg33k> I've made one palette with accented characters for when i"m trying spanish, one with mathematical symbols, and one with extra useful symbols like copyright, cent sign, euro sign, etc.
[17:01] <Uplink> compu73rg33k: this is how my panel looks http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i130/carlosrc007/Screenshot.png
[17:02] <SOURdiesel> hwilde: no
[17:02] <PlaHPoy> hwilde: http://pastebin.com/m3d97779c
[17:02] <hwilde> SOURdiesel, are you sure?  look harder.   you need to hit the unlock button
[17:02] <kephu> ok, brb reboot
[17:02] <hwilde> PlaHPoy, that shows cpu:0 and cpu:1
[17:02] <compu73rg33k> Add the character palette to your panel and you'll see what i'm talking about
[17:03] <PlaHPoy> yes it does
[17:03] <PlaHPoy> but only 1 core
[17:03] <PlaHPoy> per cpu
[17:03] <PlaHPoy> is being brought up
[17:03] <FloodBot2> PlaHPoy: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[17:03] <paul68> n8tuser: are you present?
[17:03] <SOURdiesel> hwilde: don't see one.  are talking in live cd i should see an unlock feature?

[17:06] <afazel> hello, anyone here a user of crossover games?
[17:06] <jeebster> Hmm, I just revived my eeepc which has ubuntu from sleep and it lost the ability to see wireless networks :/
[17:06] <hwilde> PlaHPoy, sry I dunno about that much
[17:06] <compu73rg33k> Is it only possible to have one Notification area?
[17:06] <hwilde> jeebster, click wireless, click enable
[17:06] <jeebster> With 8.10 that is
[17:06] <PlaHPoy> it shows cpu0 and cpu1
[17:06] <hwilde> jeebster, when it goes to sleep it shuts off the wireless card to save power.  you just have to disable and re-enable it
[17:07] <compu73rg33k> I have two monitors and would like a notification area on both ... but it shows on one
[17:07] <jeebster> hwilde: Kind of thought so
[17:07] <Anonymouse_> *you have been disconnected due to network errors.
[17:07] <jeebster> It's just that everything still seems enabled... I'll try to see if I can reset the thing
[17:07] <hwilde> jeebster, disable and re-enable
[17:08] <AdvoWork> hi there, im trying to recover data from a HD using ubuntu, the HD's were setup on raid 10. Ive plugged the 2 hard drives from the array into my pc, any ideas how I can see the data, or where it would be mounted?
[17:08] <mysteryc> There is no audio working :s i checked with alsa, it's turned on, but i still have no audio :S
[17:08] <Slart>  AdvoWork I don't think it will be that easy
[17:09] <AdvoWork> Slart any suggestions? i didnt think it would be easy :(
[17:09] <hwilde> AdvoWork, you need to hook them up to a raid controller...
[17:09] <jeebster> hwilde: it seems like I had to just reset it twice - on the first time it didn't get it back, but after bringing it down and up once more it started moving
[17:09] <AdvoWork> hwilde on where?
[17:10] <kephu> ok, I'm black
[17:10] <kephu> *back
[17:10] <hwilde> AdvoWork, do you know how raid works?
[17:10] <AdvoWork> not completely
[17:10] <CorticalStack> Ubuntu Hardy Heron update to Firefox 3 this morning completely borked the browser. Reinstall was no help. Surprise, reboot fixed it. Shades of The Evil Empire?
[17:10] <Uplink> lol kephu... so how did it go :)
[17:10] <sken> hello
[17:10] <sken> is the new flash player for every pc
[17:10] <kephu> Uplink, I discovered something I've missed due to update taking place late at night: "setting up network interfaces" at boot sure does take its sweet time for some reason
[17:11] <hwilde> AdvoWork, read this:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redundant_array_of_independent_disks
[17:11] <sken> ?
[17:11] <hwilde> AdvoWork, basically RAID 10 (or 1+0) uses both striping and mirroring
[17:11] <Uplink> kephu: yes it does... :)
[17:11] <Slart> AdvoWork: I think you can look forward to a lot of experimenting... go read up on how raid works, what kind of parameters there are.. and then learn how to handle it on linux.. how to set it up ... on a detailed level.
[17:11] <hwilde> AdvoWork, that will make it quite a challenge to read the data just off the disk.
[17:11] <kephu> So it's actually SUPPOSED to?
[17:11] <hwilde> AdvoWork, what you need is to hook it up to another raid controller so it can handle the striping and mirroring
[17:11] <AdvoWork> hwilde are there any quick or easyish solutions to do so
[17:11] <barid92> hi all
[17:11] <hwilde> AdvoWork, what kind of box did you take the harddrives out of
[17:12] <AdvoWork> hwilde network terastation device
[17:12] <Uplink> kephu: what ubuntu version your on?
[17:12] <dou213> hey guys, got a problem: i bought myself a switching device which allows me to use more computers with one monitor, one mouse and one keyboard... now when i boot ubuntu, i can't choose anymore from the bootloader (GRUB), i guess this switching device doesn't start the keyboard just yet, someone's got any idea how to fix this?
[17:12] <hwilde> AdvoWork, put them back in there
[17:12] <sken> is flash player for every pc?
[17:12] <afazel> I've got a laptop using Hardy Heron, trying to get a linksys wpc11 to work. it can see the wireless network, but I'm not sure if I'm following the correct steps to connect to it
[17:12] <AdvoWork> hwilde why?
[17:12] <hwilde> dou213, set the default
[17:12] <kephu> Uplink: 8.10, this is what ruined everything ;)
[17:12] <Khisanth> AdvoWork: and where are the other two drives?
[17:12] <hwilde> AdvoWork, read the link.  understand raid.  then you will understand
[17:13] <slanning> when I do System->Sound and Test "Sound playback" :  error "audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audiosample ! gconfaudiosink: Failed to connect stream: Invalid argument" and the dialog hang if I try to close it (Force quit)
[17:13] <dou213> hwilde: the switching device is on default

[17:13] <hwilde> dou213, I dunno, my kvm doesn't acknowldege the keyboard on boot either
[17:13] <Uplink> kephu: so your wifi was working before you mean? :)
[17:13] <afazel> ok, thanks
[17:13] <kephu> hwilde, would you be so kind as to pretty please repeat the url with the forum?

[17:14] <Jack_Sparrow> dou213 I assume it is a usb keyboard, are you using an adapter to the round plug on your KVM switch.
[17:14] <afazel> I've I was working on it yesterday, let me find the link
[17:14] <Slart> sken: adobe has released an alpha of the new 64 bit flash plugin if that's what you mean
[17:14] <dou213> Jack_Sparrow: no, only usb
[17:14] <hwilde> AdvoWork, basically those drives are like either side of a zipper.  you need a raid controller to put hte pieces together...
[17:14] <kephu> Uplink: "the driver is activated but not currently in use", says the message just below broadcom STA drivers
[17:15] <sken> yes can i install it too or it's only for 64 bit pcs
[17:15] <Jack_Sparrow> dou213 which usb kvm switch are you using, I have a 4 port here.
[17:15] <slanning> `pavucontrol` says "No output devices available"  :(
[17:15] <dou213> Jack_Sparrow: my kvm has only usb, no ps/2
[17:15] <ddfire> hi

[17:15] <ddfire> i have problems whit partitions i made them using parted and when i do fdisk -l i get Partition 1 has different physical/logical endings:
[17:15] <Jack_Sparrow> dou213 Mine is Belkin
[17:15] <Slart> sken: afaik it's for 64 bit linux only.. there already is a 32-bit plugin
[17:15] <hwilde> Jack_Sparrow, dou213,  on mine the usb keyboard isn't active in grub.   it is for the bios and to hit esc to get into grub, but not inside grub
[17:16] <dou213> Jack_Sparrow: and does ir work to chose a os in grub?
[17:16] <hwilde> ddfire, cfdisk is nice
[17:16] <sken> how can i learn if i can install it?

[17:16] <Jack_Sparrow> dou213 yes, I can select menu items in grub
[17:17] <slanning> is there a way to tell when I installed packages? I think things I installed this weekend must've messed up my sound :/
[17:17] <douma> hi
[17:17] <hwilde> dou213, all I can suggest is edit the default in /boot/grub/menu.lst before you reboot...
[17:17] <Jack_Sparrow> dou213 I think this is a HArdy box..
[17:17] <hwilde> or keep a ps2 keyboard handy

[17:22] <hwilde> it's not an ultimate specific question.

[17:24] <kephu> by "fails" I mean prompts me for the password, which for some reason isn't the one it should be, but instead, it's hashed, I think?
[17:24] <afazel> Uplink: There's no firewall, just a Linksys WRT54G. The network is using WPA with TKIP encryption

[17:25] <kephu> hwilde, it's a wpa2

[17:25] <dou213> Jack_Sparrow: already increased the bootloader time at 60 sec, didn't work :( ... maybe 2 minutes then, but i guess it won't work at all, because after it gets pass grub, it recognizes it directly
[17:25] <hwilde> kephu, it depends on what you have.  the psk can be ascii or hex
[17:25] <dou213> always, nevermind grub loads 10 secs or a minute

[17:45] <DracNoc> sken, if you're limited on RAM, Opera is lighter than Firefox, otherwise stick with FF for better page formatting.
[17:45] <afazel> Uplink: I think it's an issue with wpa, but beyond that I'm not sure how to go about fixing it
[17:46] <Gnea> supercom32: that would be a hardware issue - make sure the line is plugged in, or maybe the speaker cord has a short in it
[17:46] <Uplink> afazel: type locate wpasupplicant
[17:47] <supercom32> gnea: It seems like an alsa problem to me. I mean, when playing something, it works fine. If you lower the volume one notch before mute, its silent as a bell. Mute = crackling. did not happen in hardy
[17:47] <Ipswitch> hey everyone.
[17:47] <afazel> Uplink: ok, it's found all of the locations
[17:47] <Gnea> supercom32: the crackling wouldn't come from alsa, especially if it's muted.
[17:47] <Timothy1> Does anyone know how to control the defaults for how dialog  boxes open in Intrepid?
[17:47] <Uplink> afazel: then i dont see the problem... maybe you need a different network manager

[17:57] <UnknownUser56> kados_:thanks !
[17:57] <orci> is there a list of packages that will be installed with fresh install+updates?
[17:57] <fde> Dabbu: they changed a lot of stuff with the webcam support upstream moving gspca to v4l2 etc... that is likely the reason, although how to fix it, idk
[17:57] <Slart> Dabbu: I have the same problem.. it worked in 8.04 but not in 8.10. I think it's because they have done something to the v4l interface.. rewritten it.. or updated it.. can't remember exactly

[17:58] <Dabbu> Slart  so is there any solution
[17:58] <scientes> r3dxp, you should start x with /etc/init.d/gdm start generally
[17:58] <Slart> Dabbu: I haven't found anything so far
[17:58] <r3dxp> oh
[17:58] <r3dxp> how do i reinstall gdm ?
[17:58] <scientes> habit, i just dissable it

[17:59] <Dabbu> Slart: ok

[18:01] <kados_> r3dxp : Try sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg

[18:03] <DracNoc> bigdaddy0522, I have an nVidia 6200 here, upgrade went fine for me
[18:03] <The_Blade> bigdaddy0522 : my 8400GS on my notebook works very fine
[18:03] <bigdaddy0522> i have a 7950 mobile i think it is
[18:03] <The_Blade> 8400M GS sorry
[18:03] <r3dxp> i just installed gdm by using sudo aptitude install gdm
[18:03] <r3dxp> i just restart and it should load?
[18:03] <ultraviolet9> How do I upgrade my ALSA drivers?
[18:04] <orci> is a filter in synaptic possible so that I could see the packages installed afre the clean cdrom install
[18:04] <bigdaddy0522> kk ill go ahead and update.. looks like alot better stability and functionality than hardy.
[18:04] <ultraviolet9> !ALSA
[18:04] <ultraviolet9> !ALSA upgrade
[18:04] <orci> I would say that is a good idea though
[18:04] <bigdaddy0522> hehe just as long as i can use skype and play World of Warcraft im good.
[18:04] <ultraviolet9> Argh
[18:04] <fde> bigdaddy0522: functionality perhaps, but stability I would bet is better with hardy
[18:04] <The_Blade> bigdaddy0522 : yes it is !
[18:04] <RizR> r3dxp: what's the latest nvidia-glx version?
[18:04] <ultraviolet9> !upgrade
[18:04] <scientes> how do i build restricted modules and other custom kernel drivers when i recompile my kernel?
[18:04] <ultraviolet9> !audio drivers
[18:04] <ultraviolet9> !driver update
[18:05] <ultraviolet9> !drivers
[18:05] <DracNoc> orci, use the Status button on the left (in Synaptic) and select "Installed" immediately after a clean install.
[18:05] <Slart> ultraviolet9: torture the bot in pm instead
[18:05] <bigdaddy0522> yeah i read the articles and some forums.. but i just wanted to know about real world... from users
[18:05] <fde> scientes: you'd just compile them into your kernel....

[18:05] <ultraviolet9> Slart: How do I upgrade my ALSA drivers?
[18:05] <io2> !seen paola89
[18:05] <Slart> ultraviolet9: if I had known I would have answered you..
[18:05] <scientes> fde, well nvidia i cant tdo that, and otherwise i have no idea how to
[18:05] <ultraviolet9> I had asked above
[18:05] <ultraviolet9> oh
[18:05] <fde> scientes: unless you're planning on using the same kernel on several machines (I would recommend compiling one for each unless there are a lot) then its better to not use modules...
[18:05] <ultraviolet9> nvm
[18:06] <bigdaddy0522> ultraviolet9, maybe go to synaptic and do a search for alsa
[18:06] <mysteryc> I can't hear sound in flash! Help please! :s
[18:06] <fde> scientes: actually you can... but unless you have good reason to compile your own kernel, don't
[18:06] <orci> DracNoc, I am far away from that point in time though, is there something I can do now?
[18:07] <scientes> i need to see if a bug if fixed upstream before reporting to the kernel

[18:07] <ForsakenSoul> hey guys I'm having a very strange problem ... I have a router which is connected to a switch which is linked to a wireless canyon transmitter and my lap-top establishes a connection, gets the local network but can't connect to the net
[18:07] <ForsakenSoul> why is that ?
[18:07] <fde> scientes: you should still report the bug
[18:07] <mysteryc> wwpiexec: k thanks ;) =]
[18:07] <DracNoc> orci, what do you mean? are you currently installing or do you want to know what is installed by default before you install?
[18:07] <ForsakenSoul> anybody ever have such experience
[18:07] <ForsakenSoul> ?
[18:08] <paul__> n8tuser: are you here?
[18:08] <orci> DracNoc, I have a system which has a lot of packages installed after the clean install
[18:08] <orci> DracNoc, Now i'd like to remove some of them
[18:08] <orci> DracNoc, so i need a list of packages installed afterwards
[18:09] <fde> orci: if its from the clean install, they will have come in from one of the ubuntu-whatever packages...
[18:09] <DracNoc> orci, use the Status button on the left (in Synaptic) and select "Installed" immediately after a clean install. You can DEselect from that list if you wish
[18:09] <ph_d_> How do I make a new empty regular file from command line?
[18:10] <wwpiexec> ph_d_: touch file
[18:10] <fde> orci: /var/log/apt/term.log  for instance will tell you everything apt has done though
[18:10] <SOURdiesel> why are there key icons next to my partitions in gparted.  i also have an unallocated space of 1mb in another drive it won't let me delete.
[18:10] <ph_d_> thanks
[18:10] <fde> orci: if you've updated though, that'll be in there too...
[18:10] <wwpiexec> SOURdiesel: the key icons mean these partitions are locked.. check if they are mounted and unmount them
[18:11] <orci> DracNoc, fde let me try in a different way, I have a system which has ubuntu packages that were installed when i installed from a cdrom. I also have lots of packages which were not installed during the system installation, but they were installed afterwards. I'd like to get a list of those failes installed after the cdrom install has finished
[18:11] <Great_Gatsby> what do i need to play .rv?
[18:11] <wwpiexec> SOURdiesel: you can't delete unallocated space
[18:12] <Garnol9155> Where are programms usually stored to in ubuntu?
[18:12] <SOURdiesel> wwpiexec: thanks.  also, can i just resize the extended partition on the main drive or do i need to resize the main partition then make a new extended partition.  the one with the linux-swap partition?
[18:12] <savid> Is the hampster time tracking tool in ubuntu 8.10?  I just upgraded and can't seem to find it...
[18:13] <fde> orci: dpkg -l > whatever on both machines, making sure the names are different... then just diff them?
[18:13] <TheMstrLaw> hi, what could be an awk script to convert upper case words in a file to first letter upper and the rest lower such as FOO to Foo ?
[18:13] <wwpiexec> SOURdiesel: you can resize the extended i belive..
[18:13] <sabayonuser> I did an Ubuntu install with usb-creator a while back but syslinux wouldn't boot it like so: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/2008/10/06/error-could-not-find-kernel-image-linux/ . So, I moved the syslinux configurationn files to the root of the device and ran syslinux -sf /dev/sdXX as well as lilo -M /dev/sdX and I still suffered the same problem.
[18:13] <Great_Gatsby> what codec do i need for .rv files?
[18:13] <SidGBF> Im installing trac and it is a bit weird.. Trac guys doesn't have a clue, so, trying here: "Warning: Can't synchronize with the repository (Unsupported version control system "svn": "No module named svn" ). Look in the Trac log for more information"... I have it installed!
[18:13] <ForsakenSoul> ﻿hey guys I'm having a very strange problem ... I have a router which is connected to a switch which is linked to a wireless canyon transmitter and my lap-top establishes a connection, gets the local network but can't connect to the net
[18:13] <orci> fde, I have just one system
[18:13] <Jeremy93283> Hi
[18:13] <ForsakenSoul> I can open the local computers but cannot get in touch with google or etc
[18:14] <SOURdiesel> wwpiexec: i've tried using gparted off the live cd and it won't give me that option.  do i eed to unmount it or swapoff?
[18:14] <fde> orci: then you'll have to look at the log file I told you
[18:14] <ForsakenSoul> has anybody had this problem
[18:14] <ForsakenSoul> ?
[18:14] <orci> fde, a rule in synaptic would not be possible?
[18:14] <Jeremy93283> Anyone here install kdenlive? Cause I installed it through Synaptic Package Manger and it doesn't come up under Sound & Video. Why?
[18:14] <fde> orci: I don't think so, no
[18:14] <orci> fde, a "filter rule"?
[18:15] <a_l_e> ForsakenSoul: i guess that other computer on your local network can reach the internet...
[18:15] <orci> fde, all right, thank you for helping me. sorry for confusion
[18:15] <wwpiexec> SOURdiesel: if its a swap partition and its being used.. then you need to swapoff
[18:15] <fde> orci: I understood what you meant... no, I don't think its possible... synaptic and any other libapt frontend makes no such distinctions... they are all just packages to it
[18:15] <ForsakenSoul> a_l_e:  of course
[18:15] <ForsakenSoul> the router has mac filtering
[18:15] <fde> orci: like I said though, take a look at  /var/log/apt/term.log
[18:15] <orci> fde, that feature would be cool though
[18:15] <ForsakenSoul> and runs a dhcp server
[18:16] <orci> fde, yes got it thanks
[18:16] <SOURdiesel> wwpiexec: so swapoff the swap partition and resize the extended partition, correct?  or do i just resize the swap partition?
[18:16] <a_l_e> ForsakenSoul: ... and if you try to use another system on your computer do you get into the internet?
[18:16] <fde> orci: request it via bugs.launchpad.net or brainstorm.ubuntu.com and see how you get on?
[18:17] <wwpiexec> SOURdiesel: yes, swapoff.. then you need to resize the extended partition.. then resize anything inside it to cover the extra space
[18:17] <ForsakenSoul> a_l_e: yes it works almost perfectly with xp
[18:17] <ForsakenSoul> except maybe slowing down from time to time
[18:17] <ForsakenSoul> and such stuff
[18:17] <a_l_e> can you ping IPs outside of your localnet? (without using dns)
[18:17] <SOURdiesel> wwpiexec: do i need to do this off the live cd or can it be done normally?
[18:17] <Jeremy93283> Anyone here install kdenlive? Cause I installed it through Synaptic Package Manger and it doesn't come up under Sound & Video. Why?
[18:17] <a_l_e> ForsakenSoul can you ping IPs outside of your localnet? (without using dns)a
[18:18] <ForsakenSoul> hmm a_l_e I haven't tried
[18:18] <ForsakenSoul> I tried only using domain names
[18:18] <Great_Gatsby> what do i need to play .rv files
[18:18] <cmo> hi, i try to use backup-manager, but i get the followed error, there are no reported bugs and it worked before.. /usr/share/backup-manager/sanitize.sh: fork: Cannot allocate memory
[18:18] <wwpiexec> SOURdiesel: you can do it normally.. but if the ubuntu root partition is inside the extended partition then you wont be able to unmount it.. you'll then need to use the livecd
[18:18] <a_l_e> ForsakenSoul: can you try 209.85.171.99? (it should be google)
[18:19] <ForsakenSoul> hmm not in the moment
[18:19] <ForsakenSoul> give me 5-10 minute
[18:19] <Kasle> Does anyone know where i can get norwegian language pack and spelling/gramma pack to OO 3.0?
[18:19] <ForsakenSoul> minutes
[18:19] <wwpiexec> so if I "dpkg --get-selections > file"  then "dpkg --set-selections < file" would that work?
[18:19] <SOURdiesel> wwpiexec: root partition is sda1. extended is sda2.
[18:20] <wwpiexec> SOURdiesel: if you can unmount all partitions inside the extended then you are good..
[18:20] <ForsakenSoul> a_l_e: just a note that it doesn't work on both network manager 6.X and 7.0
[18:20] <[All_poh_on_me]> Good-by all!
[18:20] <Great_Gatsby> there is nothing on google about .rv files
[18:20] <Great_Gatsby> what do i need to get it playing
[18:20] <Great_Gatsby> i ca hear sound
[18:20] <SOURdiesel> wwpiexec: thanks.
[18:20] <fde> wwpiexec: yes, it would
[18:20] <Great_Gatsby> but theres no video
[18:21] <FloodBot2> Great_Gatsby: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[18:21] <wwpiexec> fde: thanks..
[18:21] <wwpiexec> SOURdiesel: np.. good luck
[18:21] <wwpiexec> Great_Gatsby: what are rv files?
[18:21] <fde> wwpiexec: there is a factoid that expands on that, but I can't seem to recall it
[18:21] <Great_Gatsby> i have no idea
[18:21] <Great_Gatsby> its supposed to be a video
[18:21] <Ximal> hmm...  hey gatsby ... search restricted codecs in add remove and try installing the restricted files
[18:21] <wwpiexec> i'll fish ubottu for it :-)
[18:22] <Ximal> or enabling them through your system menu ;)
[18:22] <Great_Gatsby> i've already done that xian
[18:22] <wwpiexec> Great_Gatsby: have you tried VLC?!
[18:22] <TheMstrLaw_> sorry bad connection, anyone answered my awk script question plz? =)
[18:22] <rski> pulseaudio just broke for me
[18:22] <wwpiexec> Great_Gatsby: it is Real Video.. VLC might.. be able to do it..
[18:22] <Great_Gatsby> yes wwpiexec
[18:23] <rski> and it have loads of buggy behaviour
[18:23] <Great_Gatsby> i've tried every player
[18:23] <rski> where di o start?
[18:23] <Great_Gatsby> xine mplayer vlc and totem arent working
[18:23] <dacorr> a_I_e, i think an ICMP ping should be fine without DNS
[18:23] <Ximal> wait gatsby ... might have something for u momentarily..
[18:23] <Great_Gatsby> mplayer i get sound but no video
[18:24] <wwpiexec> Great_Gatsby: this is less the optimal. but it might work... http://www.real.com/linux
[18:24] <wwpiexec> less than*
[18:24] <ForsakenSoul> a_l_e: no it doesn't work
[18:24] <ForsakenSoul> the ip works when I'm near the first router
[18:24] <a_l_e> near?
[18:24] <ForsakenSoul> but doesn't when I go in the range of the other one
[18:24] <fde> !cloning > wwpiexec
[18:24] <Ximal> great_gatsby : go here : http://oldversion.com/program.php?n=real .... this is the windows installation link for basic real player's old version.. install it through wine if u can't get anything else to work
[18:24] <a_l_e> ah
[18:25] <wwpiexec> fde: thanks :-)
[18:25] <pooze> I think I heard recently that there are some open source ATI drivers available for ubuntu 8.10 (or rather the X-server that comes with it). What are they called? What can I search for to find what I need to install it?
[18:25] <ForsakenSoul> a_l_e: I mean it doesn't work :D
[18:25] <ForsakenSoul> but the ip is valid
[18:25] <wwpiexec> Ximal: they have a linux version
[18:26] <bbelt16ag> hey peeps
[18:26] <bbelt16ag> my crontab is  acting funny
[18:26] <wwpiexec> Ximal: and a DEB package

[18:26] <sijmen> long question short: is current Ubuntu on aluminium iMac a go or no-go? the least I want is Wi-Fi and full screen resolution. 3D accel would be great
[18:26] <Ximal> that may be true but wine is on ubuntu for a reason... to run programs at an optimal reason
[18:26] <bbelt16ag> I am using  the automaticbackup.sh  script dor dar.
[18:26] <Ximal> hmm... ok..

[18:28] <wwpiexec> ForsakenSoul: just to make it clear.. other OSes on the same machine works fine.. except for ubuntu?
[18:28] <ForsakenSoul> dacorr: one is just a wireless transmitter
[18:29] <ForsakenSoul> the first router has mac filtering and runs a dhcp server

[18:33] <leeping2008> Hey there, I've installed a new version of Glib because some of my programs require it.  However, I don't want to uninstall the old version because Ubuntu will then remove lots of packages that depend upon it.  Currently I am having trouble keeping both versions, because the "configure" scripts that I use often detect both versions of glib and then crash.  How do I resolve this??
[18:33] <Gnea> w0ls0n: as long as the system detects it in POST, ubuntu will find it just fine
[18:33] <bbelt16ag> this is the  dar  config file I am runing from dar
[18:33] <bbelt16ag> http://pastebin.ca/1260582
[18:33] <w0ls0n> any idea of what kind of cards to get?
[18:33] <bbelt16ag> I suspect there is something  wrong with /sbin/automatic_backup.sh -auto  ...
[18:33] <bbelt16ag>  not sure though
[18:33] <ForsakenSoul> dacorr: yes ... the transmitter is connected to a switch which is connected to the router
[18:33] <Gnea> whatever doesn't have a bad review :)
[18:33] <Gnea> w0ls0n: you might want to check tomshardware.com
[18:33] <ForsakenSoul> I tried connecting the transmitter directly to the router but there was no luck with that
[18:33] <bbelt16ag> this part seems to be what's wrong no  idea where it is though
[18:33] <bbelt16ag>   [: 223: ==: unexpected operator
[18:33] <w0ls0n> ea I'm just looking on newegg now

[18:34] <Student-35xx> hi, my wireless card isnt showing with iwconfig, anything I have to do prior to "iwconfig" to see them?
[18:34] <bbelt16ag> ok
[18:34] <bbelt16ag> oh
[18:34] <ForsakenSoul> dacorr: as I said earlier ... I can get into the local network but not in the net
[18:34] <simongmzlj> Student-35xx: whats your wireless card
[18:35] <simongmzlj> Student-35xx: you are probably lacking drivers and/or firmware
[18:35] <dacorr> forsakensoul, so the router is the DNS point acting as a gateway and your network settings tell the computer to use it as a gateway?
[18:35] <bbelt16ag> ok
[18:35] <ForsakenSoul> hmm yeah
[18:35] <bbelt16ag>  this part
[18:35] <bbelt16ag> NoUserChoice=false if [ $# -ne 0 ]   then     if [ "$1" == "-auto" ]       then         NoUserChoice=true       else         Usage         exit 1     fi fi

[18:35] <ForsakenSoul> the gateway is usually 192.168.2.1
[18:36] <bbelt16ag> wiat a mintue ...
[18:36] <ForsakenSoul> dacorr: just a note that I tried on different lap tops and different network managers
[18:36] <bbelt16ag> is  it cause the  shell for  cron is  /bin/sh ? not  /bin/bash?
[18:36] <dacorr> forasakensoul, is it a belkin or netgear router?
[18:37] <ForsakenSoul> dacorr: both the router and the transmitter are canyon
[18:37] <bbelt16ag> yup
[18:37] <bbelt16ag>  damn it
[18:37] <bbelt16ag>  stupid cron...
[18:37] <bbelt16ag> ok  as you can see in my /etc/crontab  I did change it to  /bin/bash...

[18:38] <esbatium> can anyone help me with openmpi in ubuntu 8.10 ? i installed package openmpi-common but i dont have mpicc :s
[18:38] <bbelt16ag> those  pms don't pop up  ub
[18:38] <w0ls0n> so theres not list anywhere with supported ubuntu addon sata cards?
[18:38] <Student-35xx> simongmzlj: Intel Pro/wireless 3945ABG Network connector, is this it?
[18:39] <hwilde> !enter | bbelt16ag
[18:39] <bbelt16ag> sorry
[18:39] <maeth> i know sound is working fine cause i tested it with OSS system, and it works... but firefox and flash animations still works with alsa and the sound is like getting static on the speaker
[18:39] <fde> esbatium: sudo aptitude install apt-file && apt-file update && apt-file search mpicc
[18:39] <matmarroba> The problem is this. instead of gdm starting, kinit writes some messages and the computer freezes in tty1, waiting for a login
[18:39] <maeth> anyone knows about this?
[18:39] <hwilde> bbelt16ag, ok now in one line, what is your problem?
[18:40] <matmarroba> Check it out here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=984651
[18:40] <dacorr> forsakensoul, have you tried manually setting your /etc/resolv.conf to the router or the DNS servers of the ISP?
[18:40] <mewshi> hi ^-^
[18:40] <matmarroba> Is there a solution?
[18:40] <mewshi> I need help with setting up a proxy for IRC.  Can someone help me?
[18:40] <esbatium> fde: /bin/bash: Illegal option -o pipefail
[18:40] <esbatium> fde: E: Can't write in /var/cache/apt/apt-file
[18:41] <maeth> hello? :S
[18:41] <ForsakenSoul> dacorr: no
[18:41] <fde> esbatium: idk why its saying that... packages.ubuntu.com  can search for contents too though
[18:41] <dacorr> forsakensoul, you should have nameserver and an IP in there already as it is automatically generated
[18:41] <ForsakenSoul> dacorr: would you help me do that ... because ... I'm still kinda not familiar with those kinds of settings :(
[18:41] <mewshi> can someone please help me set up an IRC proxy?
[18:42] <hwilde> mewshi, why do you need htat ?
[18:42] <fde> mewshi: you mean something like bitlbee?
[18:42] <mewshi> because my campus library is stupid
[18:42] <dacorr> forsakensoul, terminal, type gedit /etc/resolv.conf and see if there is anything in the file
[18:42] <mewshi> they block almost all ports but 80
[18:43] <jtisme> does /var/apt/cache/archive contain updates after you have run synaptics
[18:43] <ForsakenSoul> hmm
[18:43] <ForsakenSoul> dacorr: just nameserver
[18:43] <mewshi> Can someone please help me?
[18:43] <ForsakenSoul> dacorr: and a begin info block
[18:43] <fde> jtisme: it has every package that apt has touched that is still on your machine... so yes
[18:43] <hwilde> mewshi,  just use  http://www.mibbit.com/
[18:43] <bbelt16ag> sigh..... it appears that my crontab is using the wrong shell,  sh not bash .  and its erroring  out making those annoying email messages to me... so I  deduced..  now  question if I put in bash /sbin/automatic_backup_home_monthly.sh -auto will that fix it? in my crontab?
[18:43] <dacorr> if not type in the file (may need sudo for it) nameserver and the ip of your router and maybe another nameserver and the ip of your isp
[18:43] <bbelt16ag> hwilde:
[18:43] <jtisme> fde thanks
[18:43] <ikonia> mewshi: so you have a machine that can access the IRC network to act as a proxy
[18:44] <mfoniso> ??
[18:44] <hwilde> mewshi, http://www.mibbit.com/    this will let you connect to IRC through a webpage on port 80
[18:44] <dacorr> after nameserver put the ip of the router and save
[18:44] <benovic> usind vi: how do i write a : in the text without entering the command mode?
[18:44] <mfoniso> this is might weird... no one here?
[18:44] <ikonia> mewshi: where do you plan to run the proxy
[18:44] <benovic> using...
[18:44] <mewshi> That's what I'm using NOW, and I hate it.
[18:44] <hwilde> benovic, hit i to go into insert mode
[18:44] <benovic> ahh :)
[18:44] <ikonia> mewshi: do you have a machine on the internet that you can connect to to run the proxy
[18:44] <mewshi> the people in -ops told me I could run a proxy on here
[18:44] <mewshi> on this machine, I mean
[18:44] <ikonia> mewshi: no - do you have a machine on the internet to run the proxy on
[18:45] <dacorr> i had problems with this as my router was a DNS forwarder i then tried wicd as a network manager, and it fixed it
[18:45] <a_l_e> ehm ehm... is there a (good) way to get the bluetooth keyboard working in gdm?
[18:45] <aLeSD> where I could find the log of samba ?
[18:45] <mewshi> They told me I could run one on this machine.
[18:45] <ikonia> mewshi: you can't, as the machine your on can't connect to the internet
[18:45] <fde> mewshi: /var/log/ ?
[18:45] <swmiller6> I have a Iomega network drive in my office. Ubuntu 8.10 on my laptop. I can write to the drive however when I mount it using nautilus it displays the drive as empty. All other window shares on our network show up and function as expected. any suggestions?
[18:45] <mewshi> It can connect to the INTERNET, just not most ports other than 80
[18:45] <russell__> hello
[18:45] <ForsakenSoul> hey dacorr can you write me on a private message
[18:45] <ForsakenSoul> ?

[18:45] <fde> aLeSD: /var/log/samba/
[18:45] <ikonia> mewshi: if the machine your on can't connect to the irc ports, how do you intent to use it as a proxy
[18:45] <fde> mewshi: sorry
[18:46] <sabayonuser>  Hello

[18:46] <aLeSD> fde: the general one ?
[18:46] <Student-35xx> I have a Intel(R) Pro/Wireless 3945 ABG Network connection, but my wireless doesnt turn up in iw or ifconfig... anyone know how I can get the required drivers?
[18:46] <ForsakenSoul> dacorr: ok write me a pm when you get back
[18:46] <ForsakenSoul> ....
[18:46] <erUSUL> rayr: emacs-nox ?
[18:46] <fde> aLeSD: what do you mean the general one?
[18:46] <sabayonuser> I did an Ubuntu install with usb-creator a while back but syslinux wouldn't boot it like so: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/2008/10/06/error-could-not-find-kernel-image-linux/ . So, I moved the syslinux configurationn files to the root of the device and ran syslinux -sf /dev/sdXX as well as lilo -M /dev/sdX and I still suffered the same problem.
[18:46] <fde> aLeSD: that is where all samba logs go
[18:46] <mewshi> I'm just telling you that that's what I was told by the people in #ubuntu-ops
[18:46] <ikonia> mewshi: I'm in that channel, I can see what your saying
[18:46] <aLeSD> fde: thanks
[18:47] <mewshi> Ugh...
[18:47] <mewshi> I swear to god, they had *better* just unblock the damn ports.  This is ridiculous.
[18:47] <erUSUL> rayr: no problem
[18:48] <esref> op
[18:48] <swmiller6> I have a Iomega network drive in my office. Ubuntu 8.10 on my laptop. I can write to the drive however when I mount it using nautilus it displays the drive as empty. All other window shares on our network show up and function as expected. any suggestions?
[18:48] <buu> Quick question, I've got some 'bogus' menu entries on my 'Applications' drop down (they were installed by third party programs that weren't actually debs). How do I remove the menu entry from that list? Going to 'add/remove' seems to be a list of programs, and these particular entries don't show up.
[18:48] <ikonia> mewshi: this is not an ubuntu problem, so please stopdiscussing it
[18:48] <m2k> can anyone point me to some documentation on the encrypted root alternate install cd option?
[18:49] <mewshi> It is an ubuntu problem, since I run ubuntu, and I'm having a problem with something.  Just because it isn't *directly* related to ubuntu doesn't mean it's not an ubuntu problem.
[18:49] <Pici> mewshi: Thats not the focus of this channel.
[18:49] <jtisme> fde are all updates .deb  files
[18:49] <fde> jtisme: yes
[18:50] <ikonia> mewshi: no it's not, ubuntu is not hear to solve your networking problems
[18:50] <Student-35xx> I have a Intel(R) Pro/Wireless 3945 ABG Network connection, but my wireless doesnt turn up in iw or ifconfig... anyone know how I can fix this?
[18:50] <ikonia> here even
[18:50] <hwilde> mewshi, you are on irc anyways so um your complaints are null and void
[18:50] <ikonia> Student-35xx: can you show us ifconfig -a in an pastebin please
[18:50] <mewshi> I don't want to use this god-damn web client
[18:51] <mewshi> web clients suck

[18:51] <mewshi> Campus Library
[18:51] <Pici> !ot
[18:51] <hwilde> mewshi,  what campus
[18:51] <ikonia> mewshi: stop talking about it - talk to your network admins, this is not an ubuntu issue
[18:51] <ikonia> dhiraj: whats the problem
[18:51] <paul687> ikonia is there a channel for networking in ubuntu and yes still have the same stuborn problem
[18:52] <dhiraj> i want to know how well does ubuntu perform on amd
[18:52] <ikonia> paul687: no, but #networking is quite good
[18:52] <mewshi> Well, if ubuntu can provide a solution, then yes, it is an ubuntu problem! -_-
[18:52] <ikonia> dhiraj: fine
[18:52] <dhiraj> and how do i use voip softwares
[18:52] <m2k> genii, actually running ubuntu already, just cannot find any documentation for the encrypted lvm install option
[18:52] <ikonia> mewshi: not it's not - your network is the problem, speak to the people who run your network
[18:52] <Student-35xx> ikonia: sure, how do I create the pastebin?
[18:52] <paul687> ikonia: thanks
[18:52] <ikonia> !pastebin > Student-35xx
[18:52] <dhiraj> ikonia can you please help me
[18:53] <ringo999> anybody using a macbook with ubuntu?
[18:53] <ringo999> how did you get the touchpad to work properly, did you have to compile your own kernel using mactel-patches?
[18:53] <ikonia> dhiraj: if you ask a question
[18:53] <ikonia> ringo999: touchpad should work fine
[18:53] <hwilde> ringo999, never had a problem with it
[18:53] <ikonia> ringo999: what version of the macbook is it
[18:53] <ringo999> ikonia: 1st gen
[18:53] <sabayonuser> I did an Ubuntu install with usb-creator a while back but syslinux wouldn't boot it like so: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/2008/10/06/error-could-not-find-kernel-image-linux/ .
[18:53] <buu> So.. anyone, where are the 'Applications' menu list items stored?
[18:53] <ikonia> ringo999: shouldnt be a problem, what type of issues are you having
[18:53] <buu> Or how do I remove an item from there?
[18:53] <sabayonuser> So, I moved the syslinux configurationn files to the root of the device and ran syslinux -sf /dev/sdXX as well as lilo -M /dev/sdX and I still suffered the same problem.
[18:54] <dhiraj> ikonia: is there a way to run a windows app in ubuntu which needs access to the internet bcoz i am not able to run any internet based app in wine
[18:54] <Pici> buu: Right click on the top of the menu and to to edit.  Or run alacarte manually.
[18:54] <ikonia> dhiraj: wine should work
[18:54] <swmiller6> buu: right click the menu then choose eedit menu
[18:54] <ringo999> ikonia: in fact, im using debian, but i'm trying to find help in ubuntu as well. the problem is that the touchpad is over sensitive, resulting in big mess when typing to fast etc.
[18:54] <genii> m2k: I have sometimes used this site http://www.cs278.org/blog/ubuntu-configuration/feisty-debootstrap-encrypted-install/ as a reference for how to install an encrypted root using debootstrap. It is a bit dated but you may find it useful
[18:54] <sabayonuser> Any ideas of how to get rid of this 'Error: Could not find kernel image: Linux' business?
[18:54] <ikonia> ringo999: ask in #debian
[18:54] <buu> Pici: Oh, haha, thanks.
[18:54] <ikonia> ringo999: ubuntu doesn't support debian
[18:55] <ringo999> ikonia: i did no help :-( i found that applying mactel-patches might help, so I'm wondering if there is anyone who got it working and would share his .config for compiling...
[18:55] <swmiller6>  I have a Iomega network drive in my office. Ubuntu 8.10 on my laptop. I can write to the drive however when I mount it using nautilus it displays the drive as empty. All other window shares on our network show up and function as expected. any suggestions?
[18:56] <dhiraj> ikonia: what app can i use to play divx files
[18:56] <cs278> genii, haha wondered why I got highlighted in here
[18:56] <ikonia> ringo999: talk to the guys in #debian
[18:56] <ikonia> dhiraj: mplayer, totem
[18:56] <genii> cs278: Heh :)
[18:57] <m2k> genii, that is fine but im looking for info specifically about the ubuntu alternate install cd process :)
[18:57] <ringo999> ikonia: ok
[18:57] <ikonia> !away > DRNK-Eway
[18:57] <daved92pol1> witam wszystkich :)
[18:57] <genii> m2k: Since the altrnate cd is text based, but you can gain a console in it, the cli instructins given on the site provided are actually fairly relevant
[18:57] <dhiraj> ikonia: when i play online videos like youtube.. its very slow.. and jerky.. any solutions??
[18:58] <ikonia> dhiraj: are you playing them in wine ?
[18:58] <Student-35xx> ikonia: http://paste.ubuntu.com/73948/ that is the result from ifconfig -a, appreciate you taking a look =)
[18:58] <dhiraj> no ikonia
[18:58] <dhiraj> in firefox
[18:58] <ikonia> dhiraj: what cpu is in your machine
[18:58] <m2k> genii, the alt cd actually has an option in the install process to set up lvm / dmcrypt / luks, it doesn't require the console
[18:58] <dhiraj> amd 2 ghz sempron
[18:58] <JohanT> how do i get my exe-files too run? got wine installed but nothing happens..

[18:59] <Student-35xx> ikonia: yes, it has...and it is active...well, guessing it's active, since I'm using the wireless as we speak

[19:00] <swmiller6> dhiraj: do you have compiz running

[19:01] <Stavros> i would like to install ubuntu on a machine but stop the GUI from starting up (it'll be a headless server). however, i still want to be able to start the GUI from the terminal, how can i do this?
[19:01] <dhiraj> ikonia: its a remote desktop tool like vnc.. however how would you connect to vista machine remotely
[19:01] <ikonia> Student-35xx: thats probably the issue then, if you do an lspci you'll find your vmware guest doesn't have a wirless card in it
[19:01] <admiral0> updated i mean from svn
[19:02] <dhiraj> my vnc protocol is not highlighted in the terminal server client
[19:02] <Student-35xx> ikonia: even though I can go online with ubuntu through vmware?
[19:02] <ikonia> Student-35xx: yes, your guest doesn't see the host hardware directly
[19:03] <swmiller6>  I have a Iomega network drive in my office. Ubuntu 8.10 on my laptop. I can write to the drive however when I mount it using nautilus it displays the drive as empty. All other window shares on our network show up and function as expected. any suggestions?

[19:04] <Pici> Stavros: stop gdm from starting after you install:  sudo update-rc.d gdm remove
[19:05] <cdavis> What is a good editor addon to a mediawiki site installable via .deb?
[19:05] <ikonia> dhiraj: rdp does  not requirre the other user to be logged in
[19:06] <dhiraj> ikonia: yes he will be logged out which i dont want.. i want him to see the activities that i might do on his/her system just like vnc.. please also suggest how to get the vnc thingy activated as it is right now somehow disabled

[19:09] <prodigel> dhiraj, repost your problem. I've just logged in
[19:10] <paul687> how do i set more channels to connect to when I launch Konversation
[19:11] <cens0red> what's a good app for permanantly mounting a partition?
[19:11] <zsquareplusc> dhiraj: you may need to install a vncviwer manually, so that the remote desktop tool can use it
[19:11] <squarebracket> how do i set the hotkey for the screenshot app?
[19:11] <prodigel> cens0red, mount
[19:11] <CaptainMorgan> #firefox
[19:11] <zsquareplusc> cens0red: an entry in /etc/fstab?
[19:11] <Gnea> !fstab | cens0red
[19:12] <JohanT> how do i get my exe-files too run? got wine installed but nothing happens..
[19:12] <zsquareplusc> squarebracket: a press to the "print screen" key should bring it up. do you want to change that?
[19:12] <tapas> hrmpf, ivman isn't mounting anything at all
[19:12] <JohanT> and how to unpack an iso
[19:12] <tapas> no messages on the console either..
[19:12] <tapas> in intrepid
[19:12] <tapas> JohanT: mount it
[19:12] <cens0red> there used to be a really good graphical utility that would let you define the mount point, and edit fstab for you. Can't remember its name.
[19:13] <Gnea> JohanT: not every windows program will work with wine
[19:13] <tapas> JohanT: mount -o loop file.iso mountpoint
[19:13] <Stavros> Pici: will i be able to start it again with /etc/init.d/gdm start after this?
[19:13] <tapas> or something
[19:13] <paul687> how do i set more channels to connect to when I launch Konversation
[19:13] <Pici> Stavros: Yes.
[19:13] <Stavros> Pici: ah, that's perfect, thank you
[19:13] <dhiraj> prodigel: i want to connect to a vista system remotely from ubuntu.. not the RDP.. i want him to see the activities that i might do on his/her system just like vnc.. please also suggest how to get the vnc thingy activated as it is right now somehow disabled
[19:13] <squarebracket> zsquareplusc, actually up was mapped to it or something, i removed it under preferences-->keyboard shortcuts, but for some reason hitting up in terminal isn't doing anything.....
[19:14] <zsquareplusc> squarebracket: i had that too... remove ~/.Xmodmap if you have one..
[19:14] <squarebracket> it's weird, i never had this problem before...
[19:14] <ikonia> dhiraj: to enable vnc on the windows machine join ##windows and request suport once it is running on the windows machine we can help you connect
[19:14] <squarebracket> zsquareplusc, no file
[19:15] <tecywiz121> hey I have a problem with ac3 passthrough, I have killed pulseaudio, and when I set mplayer/xine to use spdif, all I get is noise... any suggestions?  (ubuntu ibex x64)
[19:15] <dhiraj> ikonia: it is perfectly setup on windows. what my issue is that its now showing the vnc option in terminal server client. it only shows rdp and rdpv5
[19:15] <Gnea> dhiraj: the windows end would have to be setup already, the ##windows channel can help you out with that
[19:16] <swmiller6> dhiraj: use remote desktop viewer
[19:16] <ikonia> dhiraj does the client support any other protcols ?
[19:16] <zsquareplusc> dhiraj: apt-get install xvnc4viewer
[19:16] <Gnea> dhiraj: try rdesktop
[19:16] <dhiraj> what is r desktop
[19:16] <Gnea> it is rdesktop
[19:16] <ikonia> dhiraj: the client normally offers what the server supports as I recall
[19:16] <ikonia> dhiraj: rdesktop is rdp
[19:17] <Gnea> !info rdesktop
[19:17] <fde> dhiraj: ikonia probably actually means tsclient though, which is a frontend for rdesktop ... rdp by the way is the Windows remote desktop protocol.
[19:17] <dhiraj> yes exactly
[19:18] <Gnea> yes, tsclient should work just fine as well
[19:18] <sinuc> lo
[19:18] <fde> dhiraj: tsclient also handles vnc ... so its nice, still haven't figured out why Ubuntu now also installs a stand-alone vnc client along with tsclient
[19:18] <dhiraj> ok the apt-get install xvnc4viewer solution gave me the vnc option now
[19:18] <dhiraj> this is exactly wht i was looking for
[19:18] <sinuc> is it possible to distupgrade ubuntu 6.something to the current one?
[19:19] <Gnea> a simple search in synaptic for rdp brings up several solutions, too
[19:19] <ikonia> !upgrade > sincu
[19:19] <sinuc> !upgrade > sinuc
[19:19] <dhiraj> how so i also activate xdmcp?
[19:19] <dhiraj> and how do i activate the ICA option too?
[19:19] <zsquareplusc> dhiraj: in the gdm setup. you reach that in the admin menu
[19:19] <ikonia> dhiraj: ica is a windows service
[19:19] <Gnea> !xdmcp | dhiraj
[19:19] <fde> dhiraj: that depends on Ubuntu version....
[19:20] <ikonia> Gnea: didn't know that factoid existed, handy
[19:20] <fde> zsquareplusc: that is no longer around afaik
[19:20] <dhiraj> ikonia: but that option shows up in the terminal server client as disabled.. how would one activate that option
[19:20] <Gnea> ikonia: indeed
[19:20] <sinuc> so its basicly a bad idea eh
[19:20] <swmiller6>  I have a Iomega network drive in my office. Ubuntu 8.10 on my laptop. I can write to the drive however when I mount it using nautilus it displays the drive as empty. All other window shares on our network show up and function as expected. any suggestions?
[19:20] <fde> zsquareplusc: take that back, its there again... cool
[19:20] <dhiraj> i am using interpid
[19:20] <ikonia> dhiraj: I guess it depends if the server supports it
[19:20] <sinuc> thanks tho dude
[19:20] <sinuc> cya folks
[19:21] <zsquareplusc> fde: i have it set to german so ots called differently but there is a logon on screen configuration option here
[19:21] <fde> ikonia: its an X feature for remote logins to X... my question was because the new GDM doesn't have a frontend, but I think Ubuntu is still using the old GDM
[19:21] <paul687> n8tuser: are you arround?
[19:21] <dhiraj> can you please suggest some websites from where i can download full ubuntu related ebooks
[19:21] <ikonia> fde: new gdm (as in gnome .24) doesn't have  ve a front end ?
[19:21] <fde> zsquareplusc: yeah, they're rewriting it though for new gdm
[19:21] <ikonia> dhiraj: amazon
[19:21] <dhiraj> free ebooks
[19:22] <ikonia> dhiraj: no idea,
[19:22] <Gnea> dhiraj: google can point you there
[19:22] <dhiraj> if anyone of you has it with you can you please send me the ebook here on xchat?
[19:22] <fde> ikonia: it doesn't have a functional Login Window configuration tool, no, not currently... Fedora users have had to do without for 2 releases now while they write one...
[19:22] <n8tuser> paul687-> hey ..just got in
[19:22] <fde> ikonia: have to edit a file to change the theme
[19:22] <break_free> dhiraj, google the gutenberg project
[19:23] <paul687> n8tuser: hi
[19:23] <Gnea> dhiraj: if you go to the website http://google.com and enter this into the search field:  ubuntu ebook   <--- this will give you a plethora of results. enjoy!
[19:23] <ikonia> fde: gdmsetup still works
[19:23] <n8tuser> paul687-> whats up?
[19:23] <dhiraj> salaam vallekum.. allah hoo akbar.. thank you everyone..
[19:23] <paul687> n8tuser: this is what I'm reading now http://www.oreilly.de/catalog/linag2/book/index.html
[19:23] <dhiraj> god bless you all
[19:23] <fde> ikonia: yes, you'll note the gdm version in Ubuntu is still 2.20.x
[19:23] <Gnea> !religion | dhiraj
[19:23] <paul687> n8tuser: still not able to connect to the dlink from the linksys side
[19:23] <n8tuser> paul687-> excellent
[19:24] <ikonia> fde: so it is, I hadnt noticed that
[19:24] <n8tuser> paul687-> you're at home?
[19:24] <paul687> n8tuser: yes
[19:24] <fde> ikonia: 2.22.x was the first to break compat with that tool
[19:24] <dwhsix> what's the best way to monitor cpu/system usage to know how much excess capacity I have (or need)?  and not just top... something that will record it and report later?
[19:24] <n8tuser> paul687-> and you are using your dlink with the laptop1 ?
[19:24] <paul687> n8tuser: correct
[19:25] <paul687> n8tuser: the same setup as yesterday
[19:25] <dhiraj> IKONIA: YOU ARE TOO DUMB. BELIEVE IT OR NOT. GOODBYE.. THANKS BUT NO THANKS. YOU ARE HOPELESS WASTING YOUR TIME HERE.. GO DO SOME WORK.. AND EARN MONEY FOR YOUR FAMILY.......LOL..
[19:25] <paul687> n8tuser: can you create a channel to avoid remarks here
[19:25] <n8tuser> paul687-> can you get to the internet from your server?
[19:26] <tsunami> can anyone help me with some rtorrent issues?
[19:26] <break_free> dwhsix, not sure about recording and showing later but have you looked at conky?
[19:26] <n8tuser> paul687-> join me at #n8tuser

[19:27] <UnknownUser56> I have two choices to boot from "winxp" and "ubuntu" -- always .My question is how to remove Ubuntu's boot entry ?
[19:27] <Linux_Ubuntu> UnknownUser56  why do u want to remove ubuntu?
[19:28] <sja> hello, all!
[19:28] <fde> ikonia: if you're interested at all: http://live.gnome.org/GDM/NewDesign for some of the rationale...
[19:28] <UnknownUser56> the entry is invalid,I want to remove to reinstall it
[19:28] <fde> ikonia: wait, you silenced everyone?
[19:28] <hwilde> :)
[19:28] <hwilde> I love irc
[19:28] <sja> how i can configure my xorg.conf automatically? this breaked after connecting big TV. help please
[19:29] <Linux_Ubuntu> download Grub Editor, this is the easy way
[19:29] <hwilde> sja, dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[19:29] <ikonia> apologies to the channel
[19:29] <Gnea> ikonia: breath...
[19:29] <UnknownUser56> Any takers ?
[19:29] <Linux_Ubuntu> UnknownUser56  if u reinstall ubuntu and grub, it will solve ur problem.
[19:29] <swmiller6> UnknownUser56: edit the menu.lst file
[19:30] <hwilde> UnknownUser56, can you restate your question on one line
[19:30] <Gnea> UnknownUser56: have you uninstalled wubi from the control panel?
[19:30] <zsquareplusc> UnknownUser56: reinstall and if it still there then, edit /boot/grub/menu.lst
[19:30] <chanibal> hey, i'm just in the process of upgrading 8.04->8.10 (server edition) and do-release-upgrade hung on * Setting up console font and keymap... - anyone had smth like that?
[19:30] <sja> hwilde, oh.. im running this constructions - no effect. xorg.conf created, Xserver running, but driver not writen in xorg.conf :(
[19:30] <hwilde> sja, you shouldn't have to specify the driver.  the new xorg.conf is really minimalistic
[19:30] <j3frea> Hey all, does anyone here know of a cli utility that measures the play time of mp3 files?
[19:31] <chanibal> j3frea: file perhaps?
[19:31] <fde> sja: look up how to turn off BulletProofX if you intend to customize xorg.conf
[19:31] <zsquareplusc> j3frea: time mpg123 file  ;-)
[19:31] <j3frea> ta
[19:31] <chanibal> anyone on the do-release-upgrade issue?
[19:31] <hwilde> j3frea, do you want just a cli mp3 player ?
[19:32] <j3frea> no
[19:32] <j3frea> - I want to know the play time of the file
[19:32] <sja> fde, im sorry. i dont understand what is it BulletProofX ?
[19:32] <Phoenix87> I need desperate help!!!
[19:32] <Gnea> chanibal: check out #ubuntu-server please
[19:32] <chanibal> thanks, Gnea
[19:32] <hwilde> j3frea, if you load it into an mp3 player it would tell you
[19:32] <Phoenix87> ubuntu won't start
[19:32] <j3frea> ja, I want to use a cli utility like wc works for text
[19:32] <Phoenix87> error is: can't open /etc/sudoers. Permission denied
[19:32] <Gnea> Phoenix87: could you please be a bit more specific?
[19:32] <ultraviolet9> Phoenix87: sudo
[19:32] <UnknownUser56>  have two choices to boot from "winxp" and "ubuntu" -- always .My question is how to remove Ubuntu's boot entry ? - on a sidenote ,wubi is not installed and grub is not my boot manager,but I always get its entry
[19:33] <Phoenix87> nope
[19:33] <Phoenix87> sudo doesn't work
[19:33] <Gnea> Phoenix87: do you have a desktop?
[19:33] <fde> sja: it is the automatic detection of settings for X .... but it also has the side-effect of utterly ignoring xorg.conf
[19:33] <ultraviolet9> Phoenix87: sudo gedit /etc/sudoers
[19:33] <Phoenix87> yep
[19:33] <eross> j3frea - there's mp3info
[19:33] <Gnea> Phoenix87: then ubuntu is started.
[19:33] <zsquareplusc> j3frea: many of the players probably display you a play time. but that's only accurate vor constant bittrate files
[19:33] <Phoenix87> ops sorry
[19:33] <ph_d_> Hello, I'm learning perl scripting. Why bash is trying to execute my script file that starts with #! /usr/bin/perl?
[19:33] <Phoenix87> no desktop if you mean gdm
[19:33] <Phoenix87> only terminal
[19:33] <j3frea> Gnea: I think he'll need to change boot parameters -add "single" and then reset some file - I can't remember where - it's on the forums - I had a similar problem a while ago
[19:34] <Phoenix87> some module loading fails
[19:34] <eross> or this:  mplayer -identify -frames 0 *mp3 | grep ID_LENGTH
[19:34] <break_free> anyone know why emerald-settings-manager keeps freezing when I try selecting a new theme?
[19:34] <Gnea> j3frea: aah
[19:34] <sja> fde, thanx. im testing
[19:34] <j3frea> eross: thanks - I'll look into it
[19:34] <buu> Phoenix87: Try removing the space
[19:34] <Gnea> Phoenix87: do you happen to recall what you were doing before this happened?
[19:34] <chanibal> j3frea: ok, file doens't work, but mplayer did write that stuff - and you can pass commands to it, like so it'll quit right away leaving the info
[19:34] <Phoenix87> space?
[19:34] <buu> Phoenix87: Er, sorry, mt
[19:34] <buu> ph_d_: Try removing the space in the shebang.
[19:34] <Phoenix87> I was installing Samsung SCX 4200 driver
[19:34] <UnknownUser56> nvm,I was able to remove the entries manually ,thanksfor anyone who helped
[19:35] <Phoenix87> but unfortunately it freezed at 96%
[19:35] <j3frea> chanibal: thanks - looking into "mp3info"
[19:35] <Phoenix87> then I Ctrl+Ced it and tried to restart it
[19:35] <Phoenix87> but the response was can't open /etc/sudoers. Permission denied.
[19:35] <ph_d_> buu: Still bash is giving an error
[19:35] <Gnea> Phoenix87: how long was it frozen for before you tried to kill it?
[19:35] <buu> So, xorg-driver question. I used the package manager tool to install xorg-driver-fglrx which claims to support radeon 9200, which I have. However, when I run amdcccle it says the driver isn't installed/running. I try to run aticonfig and it segfaults.
[19:35] <Phoenix87> command was sudo ./autostart
[19:35] <Phoenix87> well
[19:36] <Phoenix87> about 5 minutes
[19:36] <buu> ph_d_: What error?
[19:36] <Gnuskool> this may be off topic, but where is the java room on irc?
[19:36] <ikonia> ##java
[19:36] <Gnuskool> thx
[19:36] <ultraviolet9> !java
[19:36] <Phoenix87> it think is qite normal 'cause it happened to me before
[19:36] <ultraviolet9> Oh
[19:36] <Phoenix87> but this time I got that error
[19:36] <buu> Is there anything I need to do to specifically enable xorg-driver-fglrx?
[19:36] <Phoenix87> i tried the recovery mode
[19:36] <ph_d_> buu: "bash: first.perl: command not found" first.perl is filename
[19:36] <Phoenix87> sudoers is still there
[19:36] <Phoenix87> but with mode 557 i thinl
[19:36] <buu> ph_d_: ./first.perl
[19:37] <Phoenix87> *think
[19:37] <Phoenix87> i tried the commands: chmod 0440 sudoers and chown root:root sudoers
[19:37] <Phoenix87> but effortlessly
[19:37] <ph_d_> buu: thanks
[19:37] <fde> buu: xorg-driver-fglrx isn't the driver, it is xorg support for the driver... System > Administration > Hardware list it?
[19:38] <buu> fde: Let me check.
[19:38] <buu> fde: It says "No propietary drivers are in use on this system"
[19:38] <Phoenix87> how can I solve my problem?? :(
[19:38] <FFEMTcJ> Has anyone else gotten a firefox update today?
[19:38] <MHz128> Are there any other terminals similar to Guake?
[19:38] <fde> buu: sudo modprobe fglrx  <-- return anything?
[19:39] <buu> FATAL: Error inserting fglrx (/lib/modules/2.6.27-7-generic/updates/dkms/fglrx.ko): Cannot allocate memory
[19:39] <fde> ew
[19:39] <buu> Yeah.
[19:39] <Phoenix87> Gnea can you help me??
[19:39] <break_free> dwhsix, not sure about recording and showing later but have you looked at conky?
[19:39] <thearch> Happy Ubuntu
[19:39] <orci> I'd wish flash or silverlight would never be part of mobile browsing
[19:39] <fde> buu: I have no idea how to fix that, sorry
[19:39] <Garnol9155> i want to use a new installed icon-set but when i want to change my icon-set the appearance manager does not give any error but it just loads the standart one, what could be wrong?
[19:39] <linuxkrn> does anyone know how to remove samba support for nautilus?  Trying to lock down a "guest only" workstation and don't want remote connections enabled.
[19:39] <break_free> oops, wrong one.
[19:39] <break_free> anyone know why emerald-settings-manager keeps freezing when I try selecting a new theme?
[19:39] <zsquareplusc> FFEMTcJ: yesterday, yes
[19:40] <j3frea> Phoenix87: sorry - I haven't been reading - can you start up?
[19:40] <hwilde> !kiosk > linuxkrn
[19:40] <fde> buu: that is why the xorg-driver-fglrx package isn't working though
[19:40] <FFEMTcJ> zsquareplusc: does yours still work? mine doesn't work anymore
[19:40] <buu> fde: Heh, yeah.
[19:40] <hwilde> linuxkrn, hold on there is a kiosk thing somewhere
[19:40] <Phoenix87> please can anyone tell me how to fix a "can't open /etc/sudoers. Permission denied." ?
[19:40] <Gnea> Phoenix87: you need to make sure that the / is mounted read-write
[19:40] <mikebeecham> hi guys...I wanted to install some fonts, but for some reason I cannot access fonts://
[19:40] <mikebeecham> can anyone help
[19:40] <j3frea> Phoenix87: how far in the startup process do you get?
[19:40] <Phoenix87> how can I do that?
[19:40] <fde> buu: search bugs.launchpad.net to see if there is a workaround yet
[19:41] <zsquareplusc> FFEMTcJ: yes, after i restarted it, it works fine. if one of your extenstions is flaky, start it with -safe-mode
[19:41] <Phoenix87> j3frea: loading kernel log or something like that
[19:41] <mker> has anyone gotten origami (the frontend for installing folding@home on ubuntu) working on 64-bit? I'm getting "ERROR: STARTUP SCRIPT FAILED TO START!" even thought I installed ia32-libs
[19:41] <FFEMTcJ> zsquareplusc: restarted firefox or the computer? ive restarted FF a couple times..
[19:41] <hwilde> linuxkrn, oh that is kde   http://developer.kde.org/documentation/tutorials/kiosk/index.html   http://www.linuxfortravelers.com/general/kiosk
[19:41] <jin> is there other alternative for gimp? I don't like the gimp interface. :(
[19:41] <Phoenix87> Gnea: how can I check RW for /
[19:41] <Phoenix87> ?
[19:41] <zsquareplusc> FFEMTcJ: only FF
[19:41] <maxime> serveur francais
[19:41] <Gnea> Phoenix87: do you have internet access from your ubuntu?
[19:41] <mker> jin: krita, never used it though
[19:41] <Delvien> jin not really.
[19:41] <Phoenix87> nope
[19:41] <Phoenix87> just a terminal
[19:42] <FFEMTcJ> zsquareplusc: works now.. ty
[19:42] <break_free> mikebeecham, fonts://? I thought fonts were located in /usr/share/fonts
[19:42] <jin> mker, no kde app for me :\
[19:42] <Phoenix87> Gnea: I have the ubuntu cd
[19:42] <Gnea> Phoenix87: a terminal can access the internet. can you ping ubuntu.com?
[19:42] <j3frea> eross: thanks - mp3info is just what I needed
[19:42] <mikebeecham> break_free: was just following tutorials on forums
[19:42] <fde> mker: have you tried boinc-app-seti or kfolding instead?
[19:42] <Phoenix87> I could use the livecd features
[19:42] <linuxkrn> hwilde: yeah, need a gnome one. :)
[19:42] <Gnuskool> mikebeecham: the folder is hidden, sudo to copy to it
[19:42] <Gnea> Phoenix87: this is linux, not DOS - the terminal can do everything the desktop can do - and more
[19:42] <mker> fde: just uninstalled boinc, folding@home wasn't a choice
[19:43] <mikebeecham> Gnuskool: from where to where mate?
[19:43] <mikebeecham> new t linux
[19:43] <mikebeecham> new to linux**
[19:43] <Phoenix87> yeah I know that a unix terminal can do everything
[19:43] <Gnea> so can you ping?
[19:43] <fde> mker: kfolding is specifically for folding@home ... what I stated is for seti
[19:43] <Phoenix87> the problem is that i'm not able to do everything with a unix terminal
[19:43] <Phoenix87> well i think i can try pinging
[19:44] <Gnea> Phoenix87: i just need a yes or no: can you ping ubuntu.com?
[19:44] <break_free> mikebeecham, take whatever font you downloaded and copy it to your /usr/share/fonts
[19:44] <side> !es
[19:44] <Phoenix87> i didn't try it
[19:44] <mker> fde: I don't really want that graphical stuff though, I just want to fold in the background
[19:44] <Phoenix87> didn't try to ping ubuntu.com
[19:44] <dbingham> Hi, I just lost the 1280x1024 resolution on my machine, I know my graphics card and monitor can handle it because it was working fine until yesterday.  Yesterday when I logged off it disappeared and won't come back.  Since the xorg.conf files have been simplified and now detect everything automatically, how do I go about fixing my xserver and get it to properly detect the allowed screen resolutions?
[19:44] <Gnea> i have to get back to work
[19:44] <Phoenix87> ok :(
[19:45] <fde> !info qd
[19:45] <buu> Phoenix87: Maybe you should have tried it.
[19:45] <Phoenix87> why?
[19:45] <Gnea> Phoenix87: i could probably help you out for a few more minutes, but i really don't have time for non-answers.
[19:45] <dbingham> I've tried reinstalling the xserver, running the dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg.  Anyone have any ideas?
[19:45] <basso> Why can't VLC stream movies from my windows network share?
[19:45] <hwilde> Phoenix87, there is a cmd line irc client you know
[19:45] <buu> Phoenix87: Because you don't have any better ideas.
[19:46] <ePax> What do i need to install to run ipv6?
[19:46] <buu> basso: Really? Is that the best question you could ask?
[19:46] <zsquareplusc> basso: vlc doesnt understand the smb:// urls
[19:46] <ePax> Anything that i need to install on ubuntu or?
[19:46] <Garnol9155> i want to use a new installed icon-set but when i want to change my icon-set the appearance manager does not give any error but it just loads the standart one, what could be wrong?
[19:46] <Phoenix87> Gnea: i can go and try to ping but it would take some time :(
[19:46] <j3frea> Garnol9155: if you changed the settings for root?
[19:47] <Gnea> Phoenix87: do you have to reboot to do it?
[19:47] <Phoenix87> yes
[19:47] <fde> mker: failing that, I don't know... only thing similar I've played with is nightlife on fedora, which is to donate cpu cycles to the fedora project
[19:47] <Gnea> oh.
[19:47] <TobiasTheCommie> i have a problem with the fglrx driving giving segfaults with an error 4 from ld-2.8.90.so i've tried both normal and proposed. And i can't figure out how to solve it.. all glx commands cause a segfault.. and direct rendering isn't working... google doesn't help me
[19:47] <Phoenix87> i'm on windows now :(
[19:47] <TobiasTheCommie> :(
[19:47] <TobiasTheCommie> anyone heard of this problem?
[19:47] <Phoenix87> that's the big problem
[19:47] <thesoprano08> Hola a todos
[19:47] <julian_> hi can somebody tell me where i can find the order of rc.mydeamon which is called at startup?
[19:48] <Garnol9155> j3frea i just installed the icon set through the appearence manager, and tried to use it, but it didnt appear
[19:48] <j3frea> Phoenix87: can't you install an ext3 fs read/writer?
[19:48] <Phoenix87> is there anything i can try with ubuntu livecd?
[19:48] <hwilde> julian_,  it's rc2.d then rcS.d
[19:48] <hwilde> julian_, unless you changed your runlevels
[19:48] <dbingham> Anyone have any ideas on how to fix an xorg server that's not properly detecting the available screen resolutions in Hardy?
[19:48] <j3frea> Garnol9155: ahh, sorry - I'm not too clued up...
[19:48] <Phoenix87> installed but doesn't work
[19:48] <julian_> the runlevel is 3
[19:48] <Phoenix87> tried three of them
[19:48] <julian_> but in that folder are alot of called scripts
[19:49] <julian_> so i dont know the exactly order of them
[19:49] <Gnea> Phoenix87: probably - you can try mounting the afflicted partition, then doing the chmod 440 there
[19:49] <Phoenix87> but partition is 256 instead of 128
[19:49] <Garnol9155> j3frea hm, can you recommand me somebody to help me?
[19:49] <j3frea> Garnol9155: do you know where the regular icon sets are found?
[19:49] <hwilde> julian_, they are in numeric order
[19:49] <julian_> no here they are named
[19:49] <Garnol9155> j3frea ew, no xD
[19:49] <Gnea> Phoenix87: 256? 128? that makes no sense.
[19:49] <j3frea> Garnol9155: I'm brand new to this channel
[19:49] <julian_> rc.sshd rc.samba etc
[19:49] <Phoenix87> Gnea: thanks i'm going to try that
[19:49] <hwilde> julian_, what folder ar you in ?
[19:49] <Garnol9155> j3frea ok
[19:49] <basso> Ahh crappy windows..
[19:49] <j3frea> Garnol9155: kk, hang on - I'll try to figure it out quickly
[19:49] <Phoenix87> is there something more i can try?
[19:49] <Gnea> Phoenix87: good luck
[19:49] <Garnol9155> j3frea thanks
[19:50] <julian_> etc/rc.d
[19:50] <julian_> its not really ubuntu its more ore less slax ;) but i thought its maybe the same
[19:50] <hwilde> julian_, nope.
[19:50] <hwilde> julian_,   bash: cd: /etc/rc.d: No such file or directory
[19:50] <j3frea> Garnol9155: it seems that ~/.themes is where they hide
[19:50] <fde> julian_: try ##linux
[19:50] <Gnea> Phoenix87: yeah, you should try to launch pidgin from your applications->internet menu to get on irc again
[19:50] <Phoenix87> Gnea i don't remember what 128 and 256 are
[19:50] <Phoenix87> dimension of something linked to the partiton
[19:50] <fde> julian_: or a distro that has decent community support *cough*
[19:50] <Gnea> Phoenix87: then they're probably not important :)
[19:51] <Phoenix87> size of chunks maybe
[19:51] <j3frea> Garnol9155: did you see that? ~/.themes
[19:51] <j3frea> Garnol9155: check in that folder for your theme...
[19:51] <Phoenix87> i tried ext2ifs but it claims my partition is 256 and not 128 therefore it isn't able to mount it
[19:51] <j3frea> Garnol9155: if it's not there add it and hope for the best :D
[19:51] <scientes> how do i compile a driver into the kernel?
[19:51] <scientes> and how do i get nvivida driver to work with a new kernel?
[19:52] <Garnol9155> j3frea what do you mean by this /.themes?
[19:52] <Gnea> !nvidia | scientes
[19:52] <TobiasTheCommie> *sniff* no help with fglrx segfaulting
[19:53]  * TobiasTheCommie goes and sobs in the corner
[19:53] <j3frea> Garnol9155: a directory that starts with "." is hidden "~" means your home directory - just paste "~/.themes" into nautilus and you'll see...
[19:53]  * Gnea gets a fresh diaper for TobiasTheCommie 
[19:53] <scientes> i still need to compile in a networking driver into the kernel
[19:53] <TobiasTheCommie> Gnea: aww. thanks
[19:53] <scientes> r8168, ubuntu load 6169 which is the kernel configs but doesnt work
[19:53] <TobiasTheCommie> Gnea: hm, funny you should say diaper, i have that as an avatar in some fora on the net
[19:54] <Garnol9155> j3frea nautilus shows an empty folder for ~/.themes
[19:54] <Phoenix87> btw how can I check whether the / partition is mounted RW?
[19:54]  * j3frea wonders what m$ users would think of Gnea and TobiasTheCommie now...
[19:54] <Kingsy101> is there a easy to use image editor available for ubuntu? something simple to use like microsoft paint you know that kind of standard
[19:54] <KRF> Phoenix87, `mount`
[19:54] <j3frea> Garnol9155: weird...
[19:54] <Phoenix87> i cannot do mount without sudo
[19:55] <Garnol9155> j3frea thoguth so.. are you using ubuntu 8.10 to?
[19:55] <j3frea> Garnol9155: okay, add your theme into that directory - it should be in its own folder
[19:55] <dek> in KDE4, how can I make Krunner open with Alt+Space, just like good old Katapult?
[19:55] <j3frea> Garnol9155: nope
[19:55] <scientes> that didnt tell me how to compile a nvidia module before using my new kernel
[19:55] <j3frea> Garnol9155: still on 8.04
[19:55] <KRF> Phoenix87, orly? just `mount` should work
[19:55] <Garnol9155> jp3frea i do so, but it seems that everybody didnt "update" except me ^^
[19:56] <NW2190> My compute shutdown while gparted was resizing my home partition. Is there a way to fix the partition now or get the data off of it?
[19:56] <Phoenix87> ok
[19:56] <|Chrizz|> I want to install a nice theme on Ubuntu 8.04. What is the best way to do this?
[19:56] <Gnea> |Chrizz|: for the standard ubuntu desktop?
[19:56] <Garnol9155> j3frea oh ew, shell i copy the tar.gz file or unpack it?
[19:56] <Phoenix87> thanks a lot guys I'm going to try all your suggestions
[19:56] <j3frea> Garnol9155: hehe - I have upgraded my laptop if it's any consolation :D - is there a difference in the themes? it seems strange since there wasn't a major version change in gnome - to my knowledge
[19:56] <|Chrizz|> Gnea: I installed compiz-fusion, i dont know if that makes a diffrence
[19:56] <Phoenix87> see you soon
[19:56] <j3frea> Garnol9155: I would unpack
[19:56] <Comet> |Chrizz|: here's a good website for ya http://www.gnome-look.org/
[19:57] <j3frea> Garnol9155: (into your themes dir)
[19:57] <Garnol9155> j3frea yep did it, now ill try if it loads the theme
[19:57] <julian_> sometimes my grub hangs at startup and beeps like a i dont know and says: PBLK Length(0) whats that? its just now and then
[19:57] <StevenX> How can I uninstall screenlets?
[19:57] <Gnea> |Chrizz|: #compiz-fusion would probably be able to help you out better in that regard
[19:58] <j3frea> Garnol9155: you may need to restart - oh wait, this is linux :)
[19:58] <j3frea> |Chrizz|: also get emerald
[19:58] <Garnol9155> j3frea hm didnt work yet, either
[19:58] <squiggie> I've got a weird problem. The hostname of my machine is called fileserver. Everytime I sudo anything, I get this error back that it couldn't find fileserver but then prompts me for the password. This is just an annoyance rather than a problem, but I'm not sure, other than removing the hostname, how to correct it. Suggestions?
[19:58] <j3frea> Garnol9155: darn - I really wouldn't know dude - sorry
[19:59] <j3frea> Garnol9155: just re-ask your question maybe someone who actually knows what's potting will be able to help
[19:59] <Garnol9155> j3frea the build in theme manager shows the folder icon on the preview of the customized skin but on my pc it doesnt show it :(
[19:59] <Garnol9155> j3frea ok ^^
[19:59] <j3frea> Garnol9155: did you apply?
[20:00] <TobiasTheCommie> j3frea: why would they think anywthing weird about me and Gnea?
[20:00]  * j3frea looks around whistling trying to forget any comments about diapers
[20:00] <Garnol9155> j3frea ew, weird the packages are applied to the new skin but the folder arent HAHA
[20:00] <hwilde> TobiasTheCommie, your name isn't really appropriate... no politics here
[20:00] <TobiasTheCommie> hm, ok, another question, how can i find out which package has the ld-2.8.90.so library, and reinstall it.. and/or all dependencies
[20:01] <TobiasTheCommie> hwilde: isn't really meant as politics
[20:01] <ultraviolet9> I have a question
[20:01] <tobiastheviking> hwilde: better?
[20:01] <dek> in KDE4, how can I make Krunner open with Alt+Space, just like good old Katapult?
[20:01] <ultraviolet9> How do I revert Ubuntu to an earlier
[20:01] <j3frea> Garnol9155: am I right in understanding then that its half working?
[20:01] <hwilde> tobiastheviking, yep
[20:01] <ultraviolet9> *earlier date
[20:01] <tobiastheviking> hwilde: sorry
[20:01] <hwilde> !downgrade | ultraviolet9
[20:01] <ultraviolet9> I've done a lot of stuff that I want to undo
[20:01] <foges> hey guys, im having a slight problem with SAMBA, i have two user accounts on my pc, one with admin privledges and one normal, both in the group SAMBASHARE. Ive set up samba so that anyone in user group SAMBASHARE can access a password protected folder on my computer called public. The thing is my machine refuses to accept a connection from the normal (non-admin) user. any ideas
[20:01] <ultraviolet9> Not what I meant!
[20:01] <Garnol9155> j3frea yes, its is HALF working ^^
[20:01] <ultraviolet9> I meant like the system restore feature in windows
[20:01] <Garnol9155> very weird
[20:02] <ultraviolet9> Like, go back to a version of ubuntu before I installed wine
[20:02] <hwilde> ultraviolet9, there are programs that will make backups of your system and allow you to revert like that... but it doesn't sound like you have them installed
[20:02] <ultraviolet9> :(
[20:02] <ultraviolet9> What's the best one?
[20:02] <hwilde> !backup | ultraviolet9
[20:02] <jenpoj> kien habla español?
[20:02] <ultraviolet9> ok
[20:02] <DoctorPepper> hi guys !
[20:02] <ultraviolet9> !es | jenpoj
[20:02] <hwilde> ultraviolet9, if you just want to remove wine, apt-get remove <packagename>
[20:02] <j3frea> Garnol9155: lol, check that all the icons you expect to see are in that folder
[20:02] <ultraviolet9> I know
[20:03] <ultraviolet9> Was just using it as an example
[20:03] <hwilde> yeah
[20:03] <heret1c> h'm
[20:03] <squiggie> I've got a weird problem. The hostname of my machine is called fileserver. Everytime I sudo anything, I get this error back that it couldn't find fileserver but then prompts me for the password. This is just an annoyance rather than a problem, but I'm not sure, other than removing the hostname, how to correct it. Suggestions?
[20:03] <jenpoj> ok,
[20:03] <Garnol9155> j3frea k
[20:03] <hwilde> squiggie, fix your /etc/hosts
[20:03] <Rasta> someone can give me an advice in how to mount a ntfs partition for a live ubuntu session?
[20:04] <hwilde> squiggie, the first line of /etc/hosts needs to say   127.0.0.1   localhost   hostnamehere
[20:04] <squiggie> hwilde: You mean there is an invalid entry in there for my local machine?
[20:04] <foges> any samba experts here?
[20:04] <hwilde> squiggie, it is probably default or whatever your hostname was before.  it needs to resolve fileserver to 127.0.0.1
[20:04] <squiggie> hwilde: great, I will try that and report back. Thanks!
[20:05] <nicku> Rasta: mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/??? whereto
[20:05] <eitreach> How do I use netbooks window-picker-applet in Intrepid? I have already installed it.
[20:05] <Rasta> nicku, beign the first hard drive c: itll be HDA1 right?
[20:06] <tobiastheviking> solved it
[20:06] <DoctorPepper> can anyone please help me ,  i have installed kubuntu 8.10  on an old computer   and  i cant get internet  to work (on ethernet lan)  i t seems like  the network  card isnt detected , but the wierdest thing is that i got the connection when  i was using the livecd .
[20:06] <nicku> Rasta: hda1 or sda1
[20:06] <mon^rch> exaile doesn't export files to an mp3 player, does it?
[20:07] <leikh> In the README-diskdefines on my Ubuntu-CD it says 'DISKNAME  Ubuntu 8.10 "Intrepid Ibex" - Release i386'.  Can I bes certain that this isn't a 64bit version?
[20:07] <danibspi> hi, does anybody have any problem with brasero? i got a lot of segmentation faults
[20:07] <Garnol9155> j3frea k, all new installed themes seem to have the same problem. The folder icon always stays
[20:07] <hwilde> DoctorPepper, are you on the machine?   run ifconfig
[20:07] <squiggie> hwilde: That was it. For some reason, there was an entry in there for fileserver 127.0.1.1 not 127.0.0.1. I'm not sure how it got in there but it resolved it. Thanks!
[20:07] <j3frea> Garnol9155: ahah... does that help anything?
[20:07] <hwilde> squiggie, yeah
[20:07] <hwilde> squiggie, that happens all the time.  you might want to reboot because other things might be broken too
[20:07] <DoctorPepper> no actuallu  its my friend  machine
[20:07] <mircmac> I attempted to install Ubuntu from CD on a machine that came from Dell with a FAT64 format and ubuntu loaded. The install would not format the entire drive, it would only use the unused space on it.
[20:08] <hwilde> DoctorPepper, he needs to run ifconfig and see if the ethernet device is present.
[20:08] <squiggie> hwilde: reboot, on noes! I never reboot my box, lol.
[20:08] <Garnol9155> j3frea maybe you, understanding what the problem is ?
[20:08] <hwilde> squiggie, yeah me neither, but some things that start on boot might have had the same trouble resolving your hostname.  maybe
[20:08] <DoctorPepper> hwilde: il try this    and get back to you
[20:08] <eltux> how can i make a partition of mine mount on boot?
[20:08] <squiggie> hwilde: I will give it a shot when I get home, just in case I can't get back into it.
[20:08] <hwilde> DoctorPepper, if it doesn't show up, have him run "ifconfig -a"  and see if it's there
[20:09] <eltux> so i don't have to go and manually mount it each time
[20:09] <j3frea> Garnol9155: okay - no not really... I would recommend googling or searching the forum for "ubuntu icon theme not applying" or something to that effect
[20:09] <hwilde> DoctorPepper, if it is there, and lets say it's called eth0,  run "sudo ifconfig eth0 up"  then "sudo dhclient eth0"
[20:09] <hwilde> squiggie, yeah i'm just saying maybe sudo wasn't the only thing broken you know
[20:09] <leikh> anybody here have the Ubuntu 8.10 64bit cd? Could yuo please check what the README.diskdefines says?
[20:09] <hwilde> eltux, /etc/fstab
[20:09] <hwilde> !mount > eltux
[20:09] <squiggie> eltux: edit the /etc/fstab file to mount the partition on boot.
[20:09] <ultraviolet9> How do I get rid of a menu? I want to get rid of the Wine menu
[20:09] <eltux> thanks hwilde
[20:10] <hwilde> ultraviolet9, right click on it ?
[20:10] <ultraviolet9> nvm

[20:23] <sambagirl> hello i received my 1u server today. the configureation includes 2 xeon 2.8ghz cpus. does this mean i can run ubuntu 64bit on it?
[20:23] <afancy> ActionParsnip: yes, it works. thanks
[20:23] <hwilde> sambagirl, are they 64bit processors ?
[20:23] <sambagirl> i dunon?
[20:23] <hwilde> sambagirl, model number?
[20:23] <sambagirl> i thought 2 cpus at 32 would = 64?
[20:24] <sambagirl> hold on.
[20:24] <diffred> I have a GeForce2 MX/MX 400 graphics card, which is quite crappy and compiz runs quite slow. I wanna purchase another graphics card that makes compiz fly. Which one do you recommend me arround 100$?
[20:24] <nube> |Chrizz|: if emerald is running your new theme should be active straightaway .. do you have it running normally ?
[20:24] <n8tuser> sambagirl-> just for comparison, about how much ballpark figure they charge you for that? in my area something like that is about 450 bux
[20:24] <brane> hi all
[20:24] <Phoenix87> Gnea is group ok
[20:24] <Gnea> Phoenix87: it looks just fine to me - are you sure it's not a graphics card configuration issue?
[20:24] <hwilde> sambagirl, read this:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/64-bit    scroll down to 32 vs 64 bit
[20:24] <|Chrizz|> nube: I just installed it in the synaptic package installer, It should be working normally
[20:24] <sambagirl> it says 2 x Intel Xeon DP CPU's
[20:25] <Phoenix87> Gnea i don't know
[20:25] <hwilde> sambagirl, what is the make and model please
[20:25] <sambagirl> ok hwilde
[20:25] <sambagirl> of what  whilde?

[20:25] <hwilde> sambagirl, the server,   ot yeah the motherboard would tell us
[20:25] <Phoenix87> but i think the problem begins prior to graphics card module loading
[20:25] <sambagirl> it is a used erack i just purchased from ebay
[20:25] <jim_p> savid: are you on ati?
[20:25] <sudobash> what is app i have apt-get again that allows me to control speed of processor with CPU Frequency Monitor?

[20:26] <nube> |Chrizz|: try running "emerald --replace &" from a terminal to start it ..
[20:26] <Gnea> brane: awesome :)
[20:26] <Phoenix87> but i don't see a link between graphics card and sudo
[20:26] <brane> i was 25 years on windoes
[20:26] <Phoenix87> ati radeon x1600
[20:26] <jim_p> sudobash: cpufreq ?
[20:26] <Phoenix87> worked fine
[20:26] <savid> jim_p,  intel
[20:26] <Phoenix87> uhm
[20:26] <sambagirl> well dont worry about it it isnt that important i suppose.
[20:26] <Phoenix87> i told you i was installing printer driver
[20:26] <brane> so...anybodey who can help me
[20:26] <jim_p> savid: remove the module and reload it?
[20:26] <Phoenix87> maybe some kernel module has been deleted
[20:26] <Gnea> Phoenix87: sudo seems to be just fine, it's just not loading up the GUI
[20:27] <hwilde> sambagirl, will if it's not 64bit hardware, then you can't install the 64bit OS on it
[20:27] <Gnea> Phoenix87: the printer wouldn't cause gdm to not load.
[20:27] <sambagirl> ok hwilde
[20:27] <hwilde> sambagirl, but 2 x 32bit CPUs does not add up to a 64bit CPU.  it's the memory architecture
[20:27] <sambagirl> well i will just use the normal 8.1 desktop
[20:27] <diffred> Hi you all Ubunters! I have a GeForce2 MX/MX 400 graphics card, which is quite crappy and compiz runs quite slow. I wanna purchase another graphics card that makes compiz fly. Which one do you recommend me arround 100$?
[20:27] <Phoenix87> i think so
[20:27] <savid> how do I tell what module xorg is currently using?
[20:27] <hwilde> sambagirl, how much ram does it have
[20:27] <Phoenix87> what else should i check
[20:27] <sudobash> is there any way to transfer music that has been downloaded through WMP to 8.10?
[20:27] <n8tuser> brane you are not that far off, if you have done dos, then linux will not be overly difficult, command line is your friend
[20:27] <hwilde> savid, lsmod
[20:27] <Gnea> brane: go ahead and spit your problem on out, and someone will gladly try to help you
[20:27] <sudobash> that has encryption
[20:27] <sambagirl> well i dont know if they are 32bit cpus or not to be honest. i just took a guess
[20:27] <sambagirl> 2 gig of ram.
[20:28] <sambagirl> a 80 gig drive
[20:28] <hwilde> sambagirl, sounds like 32bit.
[20:28] <OuaMZoo> bonsoir à tous
[20:28] <jim_p> brane: in case i have missed it, what is your problem?
[20:28] <sambagirl> 2 nic ports and 4 usb and a vga and a serial 9 pin port.
[20:28] <OuaMZoo> quelqu'un pourrait m'aider ?
[20:28] <sambagirl> well that is ok. i only pay 75$ for it :D
[20:28] <sambagirl> i won the bid.
[20:28] <jim_p> OuaMZoo: bonsoir mon ami :P
[20:28] <hwilde> sambagirl, is the ebay link still up?
[20:28] <wisey> how do i get into, compilation of computer programs. every install guide i have read with various apps on the internet do not work because i don't know enough about build environments
[20:28] <sambagirl> let me see
[20:28] <OuaMZoo> bonsoir jim_p
[20:28] <diffred> OuaMZoo: sure, but if you could speack english would be better!
[20:29] <sambagirl> i used a friend account to buy it thru
[20:29] <sambagirl> let me see
[20:29] <sambagirl> i have to look at his email
[20:29] <jim_p> OuaMZoo: moi mais parlez-vous anglais sil vous plait
[20:29] <sambagirl> just a sec
[20:29] <sudobash> drm encryption...
[20:29] <Gnea> Phoenix87: at this point, i would go ahead and reboot back into ubuntu and let it fail again - login to the terminal and see if you can use this command:  sudo -i    from there, you should be able to install the irssi irc client to get back on irc from the terminal
[20:29] <hwilde> !fr | OuaMZoo  jim_p
[20:29] <OuaMZoo> is that right that you prefer an english speaking ?
[20:29] <poboy975linux> hello, i just upgraded to intrepid from hardy, and I am missing a bunch of personal files, and directories
[20:29] <gnelisse_> hi guys, what do you guys think is the best tool to edit/revolve subversion conflicts ? (merge)
[20:29] <Phoenix87> Gnea i tried to start sudo
[20:29] <savid> ruhroh, this doesn't look good (xorg.conf):   (EE) intel(0): underrun on pipe B!
[20:30] <jim_p> OuaMZoo: i am greek, i tried to tell you to switch politely :P
[20:30] <Phoenix87> but i was unsuccessful
[20:30] <Phoenix87> i tried sudo -s
[20:30] <OuaMZoo> well thanks ubottu ^^
[20:30] <Gnea> Phoenix87: no, i mean reboot - get out of the livecd, and try it *now*
[20:30] <ActionParsnip> poboy975linux: it wont delete files, were the directorys some mounted partitions?
[20:30] <Phoenix87> i see
[20:30] <hwilde> Gnea,  -ah now
[20:30] <hwilde> lol
[20:30] <Gnea> ;)
[20:30] <poboy975linux> no, they were subdirectories i created in home folder, now some are still there, and some are gone
[20:30] <Phoenix87> i try it but i made small changes
[20:30] <Phoenix87> see you soon
[20:30] <Phoenix87> bye
[20:30] <Gnea> Phoenix87: ok
[20:31] <regebro> Any MacBook Core2Duo users here? If so, how is your sound?
[20:31] <hwilde> Phoenix87, you know you could reinstall in less time than you have been here
[20:31] <sambagirl> does magicjack work with linux? :D
[20:31] <Phoenix87> i don't know
[20:31] <Phoenix87> see ya

[20:31] <Elmnas> hi guys I have a eeepc 901 and I wonder if I use ubuntu can I use lxde? so the eeepc go faster?
[20:32] <eross> what is libxpm?
[20:32] <RolfCoptr> lol
[20:32] <RolfCoptr> ww
[20:32] <linuxluvr> Elmnas,  u shld try PUppylinux.. its fast...
[20:32] <wisey> i can't get any software working. I'm a big fan of video training, I like to learn 3d and game dev. but is there a site that offers video training on ubuntu/linux
[20:32] <Gnea> !info libxpm4
[20:32] <linuxluvr> and it has support for EEEPC
[20:33] <Elmnas> ok ok
[20:33] <Elmnas> linuxluvr why is that good?
[20:33] <eross> ah thanks
[20:33] <alex314> I need help with an irc bot called kibot
[20:33] <alex314> I've installed it on my ubuntu server system
[20:33] <ActionParsnip> puppy is AWESOME
[20:33] <diffred> Hi you all Ubunters An easy question! I have a GeForce2 MX/MX 400 graphics card, which is quite crappy and compiz runs quite slow. I wanna purchase another graphics card that makes compiz fly. Which one do you recommend me arround 100$?
[20:33] <ActionParsnip> !hcl | diffred
[20:33] <alex314> but when I try to start it it says that the file does not exist
[20:34] <eross> wisey, there's alot of tutorials out there on all sorts of stuff
[20:34] <alex314> sudo: unable to execute /usr/bin/kibot: No such file or directory
[20:34] <andrew__> im having this odd sound issue where my music plays faster than it should for a few seconds at a time. anyone ever hear of this or have any ideas?
[20:34] <hwilde> sambagirl, the motherboard is the Intel E7500  chipset which is 32bit
[20:34] <eross> pm me if you want to talk programming, wisey
[20:34] <alex314> but I've looked in /usr/bin
[20:34] <goldins> diffred: your problem is going to be that most new cards are PCIe, which won't work in your motherboard
[20:34] <linuxluvr> well it's fast ... u will be really amazed at its speed...  and there is a puplet made specially for EEEPC>...
[20:34] <Nergoth> where can I download compiled experimental and nightly packages for Ubuntu?
[20:34] <alex314> and the files does indeed exist
[20:34] <Nergoth> where can I download compiled experimental and nightly packages for Ubuntu?
[20:34] <Dominik> I am having trouble with my keyboard: everynow and then i just starts to have hick ups (Randomly) where when I press a key it takes a screen shot, when I unplug the keyboard ubuntu crashes (not pretty), of which I took a photo, what could cause this problem, how do I combat it?
[20:34] <sambagirl> ahh ok hwilde.
[20:34] <goldins> diffred: search newegg for the highest number card that fits in a AGP slot under your price range
[20:35] <alex314> can somebody who may be able to help me please PM me
[20:35] <diffred> goldins: Thanks! but what's newegg? :$
[20:35] <sambagirl> just out of curisosity is there much of a difference with the 64 bit version and 32 ver? if you are using 32 bit applications (if that is true in linux or not i am not sure).
[20:35] <alex314> I'm having a problem with an rpm
[20:35] <hwilde> alex314, chmod a+x /usr/bin/kibot
[20:35] <Nergoth> guys, where can I download compiled experimental and nightly packages for Ubuntu?
[20:35] <alex314> thanks, I'll try that
[20:35] <hwilde> Nergoth, ubuntu+1
[20:35] <erUSUL> alex314: that's not surprising rpm are not designed for debian/ubuntu
[20:35] <erUSUL> !rpm | alex314
[20:36] <alex314> yes, I've used alien
[20:36] <andrew__> im having this odd sound issue where my music plays faster than it should for a few seconds at a time. anyone ever hear of this or have any ideas? im using amarok, xine, and pulseaudio, but it still happens in vlc
[20:36] <savid> how do I downgrade a package?
[20:36] <Nergoth> hwilde, wat? :D
[20:37] <alex314> http://linux.duke.edu/projects/kibot/download/
[20:37] <poboy975linux> is there a way I can do a system wide search in case files been moved?
[20:37] <alex314> should I try installing the .tar.gz files from http://linux.duke.edu/projects/kibot/download/ instead of the rpm?
[20:37] <hwilde> andrew__, it's probably a variabl bitrate mp3.  if you can re-record or remaster it to a fixed bitrate that will fix it
[20:37] <sambagirl> another question is this. i bought this cable to use a laptop as a console to a sun 240 enterprise server that i never got to login to, but cant i use a laptop as a console for the linux 1u server? i have a thinkpad here. i know i cant use my macbook because it doesnt have any video ports like that.
[20:37] <corq-ubu> anyone heard of a specific fix for the Intrepid/gnome-bluetooth issue? I've installed Obexftp and whatnot and no matter what devices are bonded, file transfer and browsing the bluetooth devices fail. At this point I can't seem to bond new devices the pin is never asked for.
[20:37] <hwilde> Nergoth, /join #ubuntu+1
[20:37] <Nergoth> ah, thx :)
[20:38] <eross> sambagirl - there was some 32-bit setup I had to do to get some 64bit software working, but overall I'm loving it - have 4Gb ram installed too
[20:38] <hwilde> sambagirl, you can use a serial cable but you have to get into the grub menu and add a few things
[20:38] <andrew__> hwilde, its happens for all of my music, which should mostly be constant bitrate. i can actually recreate the problem by previewing 3D screensavers for example
[20:38] <FrancisN> I realize that this question may have been asked to death, but how do I get NetworkManager to save my static IP settings across reboots, or even across network enable/disable?
[20:38] <scientes> my kernel build is failing looking for arch/zen which doesnt exist, should i download it or disable it?
[20:38] <hwilde> andrew__, oh nvrmnd then
[20:38] <hwilde> scientes, download it.
[20:38] <sudobash> so there is no way to play DRM encrypted (windows media) in 8.10?
[20:38] <hwilde> FrancisN, you should try googling that.  there are a lot of forum posts.
[20:39] <FrancisN> hwilde: I googled, a found a bunch of forum posts, but nobody appears to have found a solution other than to kill it
[20:39] <hwilde> FrancisN, yeah I dunno
[20:40] <sambagirl> well this was for solaris but i will just use a normal vga monitor for the mean time. but i would enjoy using the thinkpad. i have a usb 802.11. ubuntu should recognize it at this point and maybe i can go in throught like that with either my mac or pc using remote connect?
[20:40] <ActionParsnip> andrew__: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-321195.html
[20:40] <andrew__> no ideas about the sound issue? i dont wanna uninstall pulseaudio or something, cause ive had bad experiences with sound
[20:41] <sambagirl> do you think that is a good server for me to  do my project with hwilde?
[20:41] <sudobash> sudo do-release-upgrade is telling me there is no upgrade
[20:41] <sambagirl> i dont understand why it is so big tho?
[20:42] <andrew__> ActionParsnip, thank you i will try that
[20:42] <hwilde> sambagirl, sry I wasn't paying attn what is your project ?
[20:42] <ActionParsnip> andrew__: this may help http://xbmc.org/forum/showthread.php?t=31361
[20:42] <gnelisse_> hi guys, what do you guys think is the best tool to edit/revolve subversion conflicts ? (merge)
[20:42] <sambagirl> sorta top secret hwilde at the moment i'll tell you a little later.
[20:43] <hwilde> sambagirl, so how could I make a recommendation if that is a good server for your project
[20:43] <genii> hwilde: Yes, exactly
[20:43] <ActionParsnip> gnelisse_: http://ariejan.net/2007/07/04/how-to-resolve-subversion-conflicts/
[20:44] <sambagirl> your right.
[20:44] <sambagirl> well it also involves beos/zeta but i wont discuss that aspect of the project. give me a minute...
[20:45] <Phoenix87> Gnea no luck
[20:45] <Phoenix87> sudo -i gives the very same error: can't open /etc/sudoers
[20:46] <TJ-42> is there a way to access the repository of a newer release for just a single program?  or do I have to either upgrade, or install the program manually?
[20:46] <gnelisse_> ActionParsnip: that's a nice post, but i do have the 'basics' convered
[20:46] <gnelisse_> i am looking for a visual merge tool
[20:46] <sambagirl> the more i think about it i need a 2nd one to run the other part of my project so it can handle beos/zeta functionality..
[20:46] <Pingviller25> anyone know why deleting an mp3 in Intrepid results in the file moved to trash, and the file being played in a non-existant player for me?
[20:47] <ActionParsnip> Phoenix87: are you a member of admin
[20:47] <Phoenix87> Gnea do I have some log that i can show you?
[20:47] <Phoenix87> ActionParsnip: what do you mean?
[20:47] <ActionParsnip> Phoenix87: run groups in terminal and pastebin the output
[20:47] <zsquareplusc> Pingviller25: sound like the audio preview is working :-)
[20:47] <keegangrayson> @sambagirl what version of beos are you running
[20:47] <ActionParsnip> Phoenix87: if you arent a member of the group "admin" you cant sudo
[20:47] <sudobash> sudo do-release-upgrade says no new update found on 8.04.1
[20:48] <vlad> hi ppl can anybody help me install sk1 program on ubuntu, im getting 'Cann't find Python binding for LittleCMS
[20:48] <Phoenix87> ActionParsnip i'm on livecd now
[20:48] <sudobash> should I just do sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[20:48] <sudobash> ?
[20:48] <Pingviller25> zsquareplusc: ok that function is completly silly :P
[20:48] <zsquareplusc> sudobash: because you are on a LTS release and there is no new LTS release
[20:48] <sambagirl> none right now. i could not get 5 to work correctly (it is always trying to use the floppy where there isnt one). zeta is sort of similar but for the project i need to use either beos or zeta. haiku isnt ready yet
[20:48] <maiden11> hola a todos ^_^
[20:48] <Pingviller25> zsquareplusc: thanks though, closing nautilus helped :P
[20:48] <bullgard4> /etc/fstab: "/dev/sda1 options: defaults, nls=utf8,umask=007,gid=46,user." But mc reports: "/media/sda1 Owner:root/root". How can I change that to 'root/plugdev'? (Disk mounter will not mount.)
[20:48] <zsquareplusc> Pingviller25: you can switch it in the nautilus properties
[20:48] <maiden11> !list
[20:49] <sudobash> well is there any way that anyone knows to convert DRM encryption to Ubuntu playable MP3?
[20:49] <Phoenix87> Gnea do I have some log that i can show you?
[20:50] <ForsakenSoul> dacorr:  are you back ?
[20:51] <evoke> hello all
[20:51] <zsquareplusc> sudobash: analog out and analog in helps, but maybe a simple cable is ruled as illegal copy protection circumvention in your country :p
[20:51] <Some_ux> hi
[20:51] <sudobash> lol
[20:51] <bauer_> ok guys im here for a little help if you would be so kind
[20:51] <evoke> hello guys, How did people install debian before it was a live cd install. i have a file and it is tar.bz file but i want to make it into a live cd so i can install it that way
[20:52] <ActionParsnip> !ask | bauer_
[20:52] <sudobash> so its impossible from partition to partition?
[20:52] <Phoenix87> Gnea are you still there??
[20:52] <bauer_> my current version of firefox is version 3 beta 5.... now firefox has been out a while but when i try to update it then it tells me i am on the latest version already
[20:52] <Phoenix87> i'm sorry to bother you :(
[20:52] <evoke> it is this new operating system to turn laptops in to picture frames. I downloaded the tar.bz file from here. http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=195335&package_id=270921
[20:52] <Some_ux> How do i remove Hardware in ubuntu ? I want to remove a network card.
[20:52] <ActionParsnip> bauer_: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade
[20:52] <evoke> It is  a stripped down version of ubuntu
[20:53] <ActionParsnip> evoke: tar zxvf <file>
[20:53] <lomener> http://paste.ubuntu-fr-secours.org/src-6526
[20:53] <zsquareplusc> evoke: this is ubuntu, not debian ;-) but those tar.gz may be a root filesystem, so you'd uncompress it to a formated patititon and install a boot loader
[20:54] <zsquareplusc> evoke: the other thing it can be, is a initial ramdisk, that is laoded togteher with a kernel. that how most installations work thesedays
[20:54] <bauer_> if i do sudo apt-get update it looks like it will update everything right? is there a way to just get the update for firefox on its own? cant really chew up my bandwith atm
[20:54] <chubs> those are usually just gz'ed though
[20:54] <evoke> zsquareplusc:but the directory structure for this file it different to iso directory structure
[20:54] <zsquareplusc> Some_ux: shutdown, unplug, restart. work sfor most hardware
[20:55] <Some_ux> After I remove the network card from the MB, Do i need to do anything afterwords. when i startup
[20:55] <evoke> zsquareplusc: how would i convert it to a live CD. The operating system is ubuntu
[20:55] <ActionParsnip> bauer_: sudo apt-get remove firefox-3.0; sudo apt-get clean; sudo apt-get install firefox-3.0
[20:55] <sambagirl> it will doing alot of video/audio streaming on the linux side. beos/zeta side will be strictly audio streaming.
[20:55] <jin> I can't install gimpshop_2.2.11-1_i386.deb. error: wrong architecture
[20:56] <sambagirl>  of the project so to speak. meaning 2 separate units.
[20:56] <zsquareplusc> evoke: iso's require different things to get them booting. floppy images was one. and isolinux is the other
[20:56] <ActionParsnip> jin: try to get a 64bit deb, or install 32bit libs
[20:56] <Some_ux> I mean, are there kerenel modules that have to be removed once the hardware is taken out ?
[20:56] <hlfshell> heres a random problem - i have a command being invoked via eclipse, but it requires sudo to be ran. should i just run eclipse as sudo OR is there a way i can change the required permissions for that program?
[20:57] <LoveGuru> !ircd
[20:57] <evoke> zsquareplusc: yea there is no isolinux directory in that file. only isolinux.bin on the foot directory
[20:57] <sambagirl> i see the studio version of ubuntu i wonder if that would be a better choice then just ubuntu desktop?
[20:57] <evoke> roo*
[20:57] <LoveGuru> !unrealircd
[20:57] <evoke> root*
[20:57] <zsquareplusc> Some_ux: yes, most drivers are loaded automatically and not laoded if not needed. there may be some network setup and the numbering of the interfaces might change (if you now have 2) but that shuld be easy to fix after the reboot
[20:57] <ActionParsnip> jin: sudo apt-get install ia32-libs
[20:57] <erUSUL> Some_ux: if the card is not present in the mobo the module wont load at startup
[20:57] <LoveGuru> any helpfull guide for setup ircd server ?
[20:57] <ActionParsnip> jin: then dpkg --force-architecture
[20:58] <sudobash> so sudo apt-get dist-upgrade will upgrade 8.04 to 8.10
[20:58] <sudobash> ?
[20:58] <zsquareplusc> sudobash: desktop system?
[20:58] <sambagirl> i had no idea these racks were so heavy.
[20:58] <sudobash> yes
[20:58] <bauer_> sudohuh
[20:58] <Some_ux> Ok, so if the Network card has take eth0 and the other network card was eth1. How do i make eth1 become eth0 ?
[20:58] <bauer_> huh
[20:58] <zsquareplusc> sudobash: then follow http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading
[20:58] <bauer_> still on beta 5
[20:58] <bauer_> wierd
[20:58] <FloodBot2> bauer_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[20:59] <evoke> zsquareplusc: here is file sturctre  http://www.mibbit.com/pb/T4rQkS
[20:59] <jtisme> sudobash, and know that you cant back it out
[20:59] <evoke> zsquareplusc: of the tar.bz ubuntu operating system

[21:01] <Phoenix87> remember by problem with sudoers?
[21:01] <zsquareplusc> evoke: this looks like a cd or USB image. maybe its meant to be extracted to a usb stick and run syslinux. but didn't you get any readme along with the download?

[21:03] <Phoenix87> hwilde can you help me?
[21:03] <sudobash> jtisme i dare you to connect to that IRC server it was spamming
[21:03] <Flannel> bauer_: updating only upgrades your package lists.  You need to "upgrade" to install them.  To only update one thing, sudo apt-get install package
[21:06] <Khisanth> ...
[21:07] <Khisanth> what the heck happened with the last update  for 8.04 o_O
[21:07] <LjL> NOTICE - if you couldn't speak here in the past few minutes, retry now
[21:07] <Phoenix87> hey guys i found I have gksu.lock file in my home directory
[21:07] <Khisanth> getting giant fonts on webpages
[21:07] <Phoenix87> I managed to delete it
[21:08] <hwilde> help I have an encrypted pgp message and an .asc signature file, how the hell do I decrypt the message with the .asc file ??
[21:08] <Phoenix87> hwilde can you answer my question please?
[21:08] <hwilde> Phoenix87, you know it only takes like 20 minutes to reinstall right
[21:08] <Phoenix87> is .gksu.lock the source of my problem?
[21:08] <Phoenix87> yeah i know
[21:08] <Phoenix87> but i have to install other stuff as well :s
[21:09] <hwilde> Phoenix87, try making a new user and see if that user has the same problem.
[21:09] <jin> can I uninstall gimp without uninstalling gnome?
[21:09] <cars__> I'm having a problem where the system bell is ringing when I press a key and scroll lock is lit whenever I switch to a virtual terminal.  I've never seen this before.
[21:09] <zsquareplusc> hwilde: both as a file? try to import the asc into gnome keyring and then you should be able to view the file with nautils rightclick->decrypt
[21:09] <PassionFRUI7E> I just enabled focus on mouseover.  Is there any way to emulate a mouse3 click using mouse1+mouse2? (on laptop).
[21:09] <DVA5912> How do i create a sim link from /var/www to ~/Desktop/web
[21:09] <CasperOrillian> hey
[21:09] <DPF> What distro should a linux use? UBUNTU?
[21:09] <erUSUL> hwilde: gpg --decrypt file ?
[21:10] <Phoenix87> hwilde i don't know how to make a second user
[21:10] <Myrtti> DPF: you're asking in a bias channel.
[21:10] <DPF> <---linux newbie
[21:10] <Phoenix87> I cannot use sudo
[21:10] <CasperOrillian> what is the name of the theme of the display and where can i find more?
[21:10] <ActionParsnip> DVA5912: ln -s /var/www ~/Desktop/web
[21:10] <zsquareplusc> jin: yes, but you will need to remove the ubuntu-desktop (that just a meta package) but that might give you more work for the next dist upgrade
[21:10] <m2k> DPF, Ubuntu is good for sure, what are your computer specs?
[21:10] <pkp9774_> I'm doing some testing and have attempted to assign 1000 ip's to a ubuntu box.  When I use ifup eth1 it stops after the 56th address, is there a limit I'm running into somewhere?
[21:10] <Andre4s> Hi! I recently updated to ubuntu 8.10. I have developed a little tool that use ftp to transfer files. And it stoped working. I get error message "425 can't open connection". My question is ... do Ubuntu 8.10 add some kind of firewall? or do it have any other network setting to couse this problem? I have tested my app on another computer and there it still works.
[21:10] <DPF> althon 3000xp, asus a7n8x deluxe
[21:10] <CasperOrillian> where can i find more ubuntu desktop themes?
[21:11] <m2k> !themes
[21:11] <Phoenix87> rebooting. bye
[21:11] <mewshi> Hello again! ^-^
[21:11] <mewshi> I have a new question
[21:11] <m2k> DPF, yeah Ubuntu would be great for that
[21:11] <DVA5912> OK now that i have access to /var/www how do i gain access to edit and create files and folders?
[21:11] <ActionParsnip> Andre4s: try sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
[21:11] <Andre4s> ActionParsnip, why?
[21:11] <lulu_> ia ora na tous le monde de Tahiti
[21:11] <ActionParsnip> DVA5912: sudo cp or gksudo gedit
[21:12] <zsquareplusc> Andre4s: you need to be more specific. do you use some library to do the transfer? which prgraming language?
[21:12] <DPF> im running on live cd now..it looks good better than winxp
[21:12] <ActionParsnip> Andre4s: if you lan adapter is confused it'll help
[21:12] <Andre4s> ActionParsnip, Well a normal reboot will do the same thing?
[21:12] <Andre4s> and I have done that a lot
[21:12] <Nergoth> ubuntu vs freebsd - what choose for small proxy and apache, mysql server and seedbox?
[21:13] <sudobash> freebsd
[21:13] <sudobash> or openbsd
[21:13] <hwilde> erUSUL, yeah but where do I put the .asc file ?
[21:13] <Andre4s> zsquareplusc, it is a C# FTP Library that I use
[21:13] <DPF> but im having trouble getting hardware acceleration for my gf2 gts
[21:13] <DPF> how can i configure it?
[21:13] <erUSUL> hwilde: i think the asc file is the cleartext signature
[21:13] <ActionParsnip> Andre4s: yeah
[21:13] <hwilde> erUSUL, right where do I put that :)
[21:13] <ActionParsnip> Andre4s: not necessary though really
[21:13] <erUSUL> hwilde: so you can --verify the file too
[21:14] <ActionParsnip> sudobash: pcbsd here :)
[21:14] <erUSUL> hwilde: gpg --verify file.asc
[21:14] <mewshi> I'm trying to get my synaptics touchpad to work; there isn't a section for it in xorg.conf; in fact, there's almost nothing in xorg.conf.  I want to add the SHMConfig option to xorg.conf so I can use a configuration tool to do fun things.  Any ideas?
[21:14] <sudobash> OpenBSD
[21:14] <hwilde> erUSUL, sry let me backup.  this guy sent me a .asc file.  then he send me a pgp encrypted message.   how do I decrypt the message with his .asc file ?
[21:14] <Andre4s> zsquareplusc, I use mono
[21:14] <zsquareplusc> Andre4s: hm. there is a newer mono. maybe something has changed there.
[21:14] <Aethelred> How can I tell which "version" of Ubuntu I'm running?
[21:14] <ActionParsnip> !synaptics | mewshi
[21:14] <v1d4l0k4> People, there is a way to change Login Screen language definitely?
[21:14] <Nergoth> hm, I probably choose freebsd...
[21:14] <zsquareplusc> Andre4s: i mean, newer on 8.10 compared to 8.04
[21:14] <Andre4s> zsquareplusc, can be
[21:14] <hwilde> Aethelred, cat /etc/lsb-release
[21:14] <Nergoth> but... maybe debian?
[21:15] <zsquareplusc> Nergoth: if you ask in a ubuntu channel you deserve to get the answer: ubuntu-server :p
[21:15] <erUSUL> hwilde: you do not need the asc file to decipher but if it is mail the  mail client should be able to handle all the details automatically i know evolution claws mail and TB with enigmail does
[21:15] <mewshi> but there is no entry in xorg.conf for the touchpad.  That's the problem.  Otherwise, I would be just fine!
[21:15] <ActionParsnip> Aethelred: lsb_release -a
[21:15] <CasperOrillian> i just downloaded a new logon screen, what do i do with ut

[21:18] <chubs> porter1: no, you'll have to uninstall your current flash first. it's a very easy install (just drag and drop to a folder) but you'll have to update manually or wait for a repo
[21:18] <CasperOrillian> i just downloaded a new logon screen, where do i put it? can someone pm me with answer

[21:24] <zenlunatic> Schoen|Attic: maybe change the permissions of the script
[21:24] <Schoen|Attic> great idea

[21:25] <chubs> KillerOrca: so either wipe that install (as it should be ;-) ) or repartition it first
[21:25] <Roger_> Anyone who can help me with getting the card reader on my Acer Aspire 5920g to work with Ubuntu 8.10?
[21:25] <chubs> if you need to repartition you can use the ubuntu livecd or the gparted livecd
[21:25] <ultraviolet9> Hello
[21:25] <ultraviolet9> Please help me :(
[21:25] <ultraviolet9> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=985692
[21:26] <porter1> Hmm. The new flash plugin segfaults. =(
[21:26] <KillerOrca> chubs: my system couldn't install with the normal livecd, will it be fine to partition with it?
[21:26] <chubs> KillerOrca: why could it not install?
[21:26] <KillerOrca> chubs: I got ubuntu to install, but had to use one of the alternate CDs
[21:27] <riaal> how do I read the: /var/log/wtmp log?
[21:27] <chubs> KillerOrca: and why did you have to do that? low on ram?
[21:27] <LoveGuru> jeebster: there is just .exe in website i need tar file for linux
[21:27] <KillerOrca> chubs: Yeah, like 128 MB ram and a 800 MHz P3 meant alternate install
[21:28] <ultraviolet9> Please help...
[21:28] <porter1> Does flash player 10 alpha still need to be run in nspluginwrapper?
[21:28] <Dr_willis> ultraviolet9,  at least summarize the issue to the channel.
[21:28] <darkhamm> if i change label in a pendrive with gparted, i will lose data?
[21:28] <Dr_willis> darkhamm,  i never have..
[21:28] <KlrSpz> help --- i'm tryin to get synaptic to stop upgrading a package i've custom installed, but i've ﻿forced a version and locked it, and it always wants to upgrade.. .what gives?
[21:28] <Dr_willis> darkhamm,  theres other tools that can change the label also
[21:29] <jeebster> LoveGuru: protip: if you have to run ./configure on something it (usually) implies building it yourself, esp. if you have "make" after it - get the source package - it *is* there
[21:29] <chubs> KillerOrca: ahh. well if the livecd runs you can partition with it no problem, i'm not sure how easy it is to partition with the alternate cd, i would assume you can get to cfdisk but don't have much experience with it. I'd recommend the gparted livecd for partitioning if you have a blank disc to spare
[21:29] <chubs> porter1: not the 64bit alpha.
[21:29] <jokkaa> Could anyone tell me where to find diferent "verisions" of pidgid? ive seen some different but i simply dont know where to find em
[21:29] <jeebster> LoveGuru: also, you probably need all the stuff to build it, too bad I don't remember the name of the package which has most packages for that :/
[21:29] <chubs> !partition | KillerOrca
[21:30] <JyZyXEL> in gnome-panel inactive tasks have transparent icons
[21:30] <JyZyXEL> how do you disable that?
[21:30] <LoveGuru> jeebster: well i didn't find any other package rather then .exe there.. how can i use .exe in *nix
[21:30] <v1d4l0k4> People, I've installed Ubuntu with pt-BR language. Now I use only en-US. There's a way to definitely change GDM language to en-US?
[21:31] <Flannel> LoveGuru: wine or dosbox
[21:31] <JyZyXEL> how do you disable the transparent task icons in gnome-panel is the question
[21:31] <jeebster> LoveGuru: Don't be blind, it has the damn 3.2.7 Source link on the main page D:
[21:31] <toolbox> Dear team Linux, I have had no luck in finding a solution to my problem loading ubuntu 8.10 after install, which I have now posted up -http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=985630 - I have genuinely searched and searched for help, and have spoken to a few people who've sadly been unable to find the root of my problems. ANYONE got any suggestions before I admit defeat?
[21:31] <porter1> chubs, I tried the alpha, but it seems to be giving me segfaults. I guess it's not completely working for everyone then?
[21:31] <v1d4l0k4> Ah! >> gksudo gnome-language-selector
[21:32] <KillerOrca> chubs: I have a disc to spare, but can it also format/partition the replacement drive with XP?
[21:32] <chubs> porter1: it is an alpha, so no. but i've not heard yet of someone else receiving segfaults because of it
[21:32] <LoveGuru> jeebster: ya i got the link but what i m saying is.. its just exe package not a tar
[21:32] <jeebster> LoveGuru: Also, if you cannot find it I'm not sure you're up to administrating an IRC server, moreso a public one.
[21:32] <chubs> KillerOrca: yes, just resize the xp partition first
[21:33] <porter1> Hmm. It seems to be working fine with the adobe website
[21:33] <KillerOrca> chubs: No, I want to use the whole disk, I already moved that XP install to a larger HDD
[21:33] <chubs> KillerOrca: well then it's even easier, and you can actually partition it right inside of ubuntu if you'd like
[21:34] <jeebster> LoveGuru: Don't be an idiot -.- http://www.unrealircd.com/downloads.php > select the 3.2.7 (Source) > France > Download - Also, Look at the Downloads list - it's the most upper of them D:
[21:35] <KillerOrca> chubs: K, will there be some kind of wizard for that?
[21:35] <cars__> I'm having a problem where the system bell is ringing when I press a key and scroll lock is lit whenever I switch from X to a virtual terminal.  I've never seen this before.  Any idea what's causing it?  An initial search couldn't find anything.
[21:35] <Rusty0918> Hi htere
[21:35] <porter1> chubs, thanks for the help. I guess it just depends on the flash. Most everything seems to working much better though. =)
[21:36] <Rusty0918> I've just tried to install Ubuntu Server 8.10 on my machine from a boot CD, and when I try to install it, it asks for a media change in the midst of the base system install.
[21:36] <Rusty0918> Does anyone know why this is?
[21:36] <chubs> KillerOrca: the gparted program should be pretty straightforward. i'm not aware of any wizard, just make sure it's not mounted and partition away
[21:36] <chubs> porter1: no problem, glad it works
[21:37] <Rusty0918> There was no problem with the CD
[21:37] <toolbox> my ubuntu 8.10 install simply will not load and the only problem I have managed to diagnose is that my BIOS keeps swapping my HDD's round, however the grub menu.lst has the correct UUID in place so surely my juggling Hard drives shouldn't make a difference? Is this my problem or should I be looking elsewhere?
[21:37] <KillerOrca> chubs: ok, which drive should not be mounted?
[21:37] <Rusty0918> It's asking me this: Please insert the disc labeled: 'Ubuntu-Server 8.10 -Intrepid Ibex- Release i386 (20081028.1)' and press enter
[21:37] <Dr_willis> toolbox,  are you mixing in usb drives? or some other unusual hardware/controller cards?
[21:37] <Rusty0918> In the midst of the base system install
[21:38] <chubs> KillerOrca: the one you wish to partition
[21:38] <LoveGuru> 404 - Seite nicht gefunden
[21:38] <LoveGuru> Die von dir aufgerufene Seite wurde leider nicht gefunden.
[21:38] <LoveGuru> Sollte dies einfach ein toter Link sein kontaktiere doch bitte den Webmaster
[21:38] <CasperOrillian> how do i rename a user?
[21:38] <LoveGuru> *sorry
[21:38] <KillerOrca> chubs: is there a way to make sure it is not mounted?
[21:38] <toolbox> Dr_willis, I am not, trying to keep it as simple as poss. Did an install from the LiveCD to dual boot with XP
[21:38] <LoveGuru> jeebster: thats the problem i msaying
[21:38] <LjL> CasperOrillian: i'm afraid it can only be done with a bit of manual work... i.e. move the home directory, edit /etc/passwd
[21:39] <Dr_willis> toolbox,  how many hard drives do you have? are they all sata?
[21:39] <CasperOrillian> oh
[21:39] <chubs> KillerOrca: you can type mount in a terminal. the app will also not let you partition if it's mounted
[21:39] <CasperOrillian> i might jsut make anew user and set that to admin
[21:39] <chalcedony> my husband's computer is typing double letters with each keystroke, it was fine last night but today both keyboards are doing it ?!
[21:39] <toolbox> Dr_willis, they are all sata, and there are four of them
[21:39] <chalcedony> greetings Dr_willis :)
[21:39] <pepebsd> \list
[21:39] <CasperOrillian> DANGER DANGER
[21:39] <KillerOrca> chubs: thanks a lot; also is there a way to get around the restart required by some updates from the package manager?
[21:40] <Dr_willis> toolbox,  the only time ive seen sata drives 'jump around' is if i use my machines special boot option to boot a specific drive.. that one then becomes sda,  but you are rigth with the uuid stuff.. the order shouldent matter.
[21:40] <Rusty0918> Sorry, I'm new to this IRC channel
[21:40] <chubs> KillerOrca: no. You don't necessarily have to restart either, but the new packages won't be in use until you do (kernel, x.org drivers, etc.)
[21:40] <pyBry_> I'm running Ubuntu 8.10, I need to create some init scripts for Postgresql. Is /etc/init.d/postgresql the correct place for these. OR should I put them in /etc/event.d

[21:40] <LoveGuru> jeebster: my bad sorry its working :)
[21:41] <KillerOrca> chubs: k, guess I'm restarting then, thanks for the help.
[21:41] <jeebster> LoveGuru: I do get a .tar.gz from that download site with firefox though :P

[21:42] <toolbox> Dr_willis, this is what I thought after a bit of tinkering, therefore I cannot work out exactly why I cannot load my ubuntu and I'm stuck for waht to look for in diagnosing the trouble. AFAICT when ubuntu boots it fails to initialise the HDD before dumping me to busybox

[21:44] <jj_galvez> I'm having trouble setting up my wireless network so that it will be up when the computer boots.

[21:44] <jin> what's going on? VLC does not support drag and drop in Ubuntu? :(
[21:45] <jeebster> jin, are you using VLC as a player or as a streaming platform_

[21:46] <jj_galvez> Rusty0918: whats your problem?
[21:46] <chalcedony> platius: thank you :)
[21:46] <Dr_willis> jin,  drag and drop is working here for me...
[21:46] <jin> jeebster, player to play movies
[21:46] <pw-> jin, there are better players for linux than vlc
[21:46] <LjL> CasperOrillian: you add them to the "admin" group. can be done from the Preferences also.
[21:46] <BULLE_> jin: drag and drop works for me
[21:46] <pw-> i would reccommend MPlayer (SMPlayer)
[21:46] <Obadobo> Not sure what that means.  It's an Asus Eee netbook.
[21:46] <pw-> which supports drag and drop
[21:46] <apeiron> eh, mplayer isn't Free. :(
[21:46] <jeebster> jin, I as well would like to recommend building mplayer from the svn :)
[21:46] <GT> I set my desktop (running 8.10) to show text during boot with SUM, and it gives me a very quickly flowing stream of unreadable text that doesn't seem to end. I've booted up from my 8.10 USB disk. Is there any way I can manually change that setting back?
[21:47] <BULLE_> apeiron: depends on what country you live in, right ?
[21:47] <jeebster> heh wut?
[21:47] <GT> CasperOrillian: Do you mean root?
[21:47] <Slart> apeiron: it isn't? which part?
[21:47] <LjL> Obadobo: Asus makes the EeePC (a netbook) and the EeeBox (a small desktop)
[21:47] <jeebster> It is
[21:47] <jin> mhh this is weird. using the standard interface , it works. but ot if I am using a theme
[21:47] <jin> why?
[21:47] <apeiron> It's not.
[21:47] <jeebster> Not even that
[21:47] <apeiron> It's not in Universe.
[21:47] <mzuverink> I install intrepid, my daughter for my password so I changed, however it only will allow admin duties to be preformed with the old password how do I fix this?
[21:47] <Obadobo> Oh, I see.  It's the pc then.
[21:47] <apeiron> One has to add multiverse to install it.
[21:47] <Slart> !info mplayer
[21:47] <apeiron> ^^ multiverse
[21:47] <apeiron> !multiverse
[21:47] <jeebster> BULLE_: It is free. It has patented tech in it but VLC and every other ffmpeg thing has as well
[21:48] <CasperOrillian> slart> yeah i mean root
[21:48] <BULLE_> jeebster: okiedokie
[21:48] <jeebster> apeiron: It's in multiverse because of the patents I guess
[21:48] <jeebster> And it's ancient
[21:48] <apeiron> jeebster, Right.
[21:48] <apeiron> Hm, I thought vlc was Free.
[21:48] <apeiron> GNU recommends it and all.
[21:48] <jj_galvez> can anyone help me with the new networkmanager applet?
[21:48] <apeiron> WEll, FSF
[21:48] <jeebster> But it has nothing to do with free or not free D:
[21:48] <BULLE_> but, as software patents arent valid in most countries, you can see it as free in all those
[21:48] <jeebster> apeiron: It's the damn same libs used D:
[21:48] <apeiron> jeebster, Right. I was mistaken.
[21:48] <jeebster> And VLC fails even more than mplayer
[21:48]  * apeiron shrugs, uses totem
[21:49] <jeebster> lol
[21:49] <LjL> apeiron, if you want to read a patented format, you need to break patents - at least in certain countries. no way to get around that.
[21:49] <jeebster> mplayer is the way to go on *nix
[21:49]  * jonathon_ hello everyone
[21:49] <pw-> i second that, jeebster
[21:49] <apeiron> LjL, Right. I was just mistaken regarding vlc's Free status.
[21:49] <CasperOrillian> slart you there? i do mean root
[21:49] <apeiron> !root > CasperOrillian
[21:49] <pw-> VLC is great, but not under *nix
[21:49] <jeebster> apeiron: It's not about "free"
[21:49] <Slart> CasperOrillian: I'm here.. although I guess you meant to address someone else
[21:50] <jeebster> It's about patents
[21:50] <Frogzoo> LjL: many patents, especially software, would not survive a court examination
[21:50] <jeebster> pw-: it's not great anywhere else either
[21:50] <apeiron> jeebster, Free includes patents, in my mind.
[21:50] <Obadobo> Hate to pester people, but what could it be that stops me from entering text at the gdm login screen after upgrade to 8.10?  I installed xdm to see if that was the problem, but that's just the same.
[21:50] <pw-> jeebster, i have no problems with it on my windows box
[21:50] <LjL> Frogzoo: that's another matter, in the meanwhile, they exist, and they "force" ubuntu to put stuff in multiverse
[21:50] <Rusty0918> FYI, I'm having an installation problem trying to get Ubuntu Server 8.10 on my system
[21:50] <jj_galvez> Rusty0918: what is the problem?
[21:50] <BULLE_> apeiron: it doesnt, in most peoples mind
[21:51] <Rusty0918> Please insert the disc labeled: 'Ubuntu-Server 8.10 -Intrepid Ibex8 Release i386 (20081028.1)' and press enter. I'm running this off a burned CD-R with the image on it.
[21:51] <jeebster> pw-: http://forums.animesuki.com/showpost.php?p=1910683&postcount=80 read up a bit D:
[21:51] <GT> Does anyone know how to manually change the settings that Start-Up Manager changes?
[21:51] <LjL> Obadobo: i don't know but you might try asking in #ubuntu-eeepc and #eeepc as well
[21:51] <Rusty0918> I'm getting that in the midst of the base system instal
[21:51] <jeebster> VLC really shouldn't be used as a player, as a streaming platform it might be good
[21:51] <LjL> Obadobo: (note that #eeepc is not an Ubuntu channel, i'm just pointing to it for your information)
[21:51] <macvr>  hi all... suddenly i dont get any sound from my laptop> when i check in sounds i get this error>>>audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink: Failed to connect: Connection refused <<<< how do i correct his?
[21:51] <Obadobo> LjL: Thanks for your suggestion.

[21:52] <auclairb> Is there something like ktimer in ubuntu ?
[21:52] <ultraviolet9> how do I move a file as admin?
[21:52] <jj_galvez> Rusty0918: what do you mean by the "image on it" is it a cd with the ISO file burned on it, or did you burn a cd from the ISO?
[21:52] <Rusty0918> It's a CD with the iso file on it
[21:52] <pw-> ultraviolet9,  sudo mv /original/file /new/directory
[21:52] <alexei> hi, I am trying to build qt4 with custom patches. is there a way to restart dpkg-buildpackage if that was terminated at compile step?

[21:52] <ultraviolet9> thank you
[21:52] <jeebster> pw-: Under Windows MPC-HC and ffdshow (CCCP has good settings for that and a caring set of real developers) and Kovensky's Mplayer

[21:53] <chazco> Hi.. i'm having trouble staying connected / connecting to a WPA Enterprise, peap, tkip, mschapv2 wireless network. It worked okay in 8.04(.1), and the wifi works on other networks. Any ideas?
[21:54] <Rusty0918> I'm doing a fresh install
[21:54] <mzuverink> anyone have an idea in the passord issue, food old googllw deos not shed ant
[21:54] <BULLE_> chazco: not realy, wireless is still quite a mess in linux =( if you can, downgrade to older kernel or newer just to see if it works then
[21:55] <GT> Okay, does anyone know how to fix this "Unexpected IRQ trap at Vector ___" problem?
[21:55] <jj_galvez> Rusty0918: so when you put the disk in how far into the install does it go before you get the error
[21:55] <chazco> BULLE_ - Not sure if its the kernel, think its the new network manager (some options seem to be missing)
[21:55] <mzuverink> *googd ol googoe
[21:55] <Rusty0918> About 73%
[21:55] <Rusty0918> It's during the base system install
[21:55] <jeebster> apeiron, they don't control the free'ness of the app itself, which is completely written by the developers of it. The only reason they're not in the main is because Ubuntu likes not to get into trouble because of software patents in some idiotic countries. In your world, enjoy OGG Vorbis and the Theora video and nothing else :)
[21:55] <jin> not all vlc skins support drag and drop :(
[21:56] <jj_galvez> Rusty0918: also, does the disk have a menu option to check the cd? I'm wondering if your cd is corrupt
[21:56] <Rusty0918> That it does
[21:56] <elvirolo> hi everyone
[21:56] <Rusty0918> I checked it once before using that and it didn't say it was corrupted
[21:56] <GT> Unexpected IRQ trap at vector 98 is what I have.

[21:57] <chazco> Is it possible to manually join a network without using network manager?
[21:57] <jeebster> jin, try "apt-get build-dep mplayer" and "apt-get install subversion" and then check the svn command from #mplayer and check mplayer out ;)
[21:58] <Rusty0918> I checked the CD for errors before installing
[21:58] <jj_galvez> Rusty0918: I had a similar problem when I first upgraded to 8.04, but that was because /cdrom was not pointing to the correct cdrom
[21:58] <Rusty0918> To make sure
[21:58] <GT> Does anyone know anything about what configuration files SUM writes to, or how to solve the Unexpected IRQ trap problem?
[21:58] <jin> jeebster, subtitles selection in lc is easier for me.
[21:58] <jj_galvez> Rusty0918: how many cdrom's do you have in your computer?
[21:58] <Rusty0918> One
[21:58] <jin> jeebster, besides mplayer does not have a better GUI than vlc
[21:58] <Rusty0918> Just one
[21:59] <Slart> elvirolo: probably because noone has stepped up and packaged it... why don't you take a shot at it?
[21:59] <alec868> can anyone help me install wireless drivers for ubuntu 8.10 on an eee pc
[21:59] <jeebster> jin, smplayer had a pretty good gui, although I don't know if you even need one for it :3
[21:59] <elvirolo> Slart: huh well, i don't know anything about packaging :)
[21:59] <jj_galvez> I would still try burning the cdrom again from the source iso (make sure the checksum is correct on the ISO too) just to make sure its not a problem with the media
[22:00] <Slart> elvirolo: what better way to learn? ;)
[22:00] <Rusty0918> OK
[22:00] <kri> mplayer is really good without the gui, no need for it so to say.
[22:00] <Rusty0918> I'll burn again...how do do the checksum?
[22:00] <Slart> !md5
[22:00] <elvirolo> Slart: i suppose... still, it was released one and a half years ago, so it's quite strange
[22:00] <apeiron_> msg nickserv ghost apeiron hunter2

[22:01] <jin> does smplayer use GTk as its GUI toolkit?
[22:01] <blakbeardscrotum> morning.
[22:01] <chazco> Is it possible to manually join a network without using network manager, or will I have to downgrade to 8.04.1 and lose suspend?
[22:02] <Slart> apeiron: that was a joke I hope.. right? (http://www.bash.org/?244321)
[22:02] <jeebster> jin: I'm not sure, checking
[22:02] <javiolo_> is there a ppc version of ubuntu 8.10 ?
[22:02] <apeiron> Slart, Yes.
[22:02] <Slart> elvirolo: it sounds like a nice music player.. I think I'll have to give it a try
[22:03] <apeiron> Slart, My real password consists of alphanumerics and symbols.
[22:03] <KurtKraut> What you you guys recommend as a replacement of Audacity ?
[22:03] <wilsonnck> chazco: you mean a cli method?
[22:03] <apeiron> KurtKraut, What's wrong with Audacity?
[22:03] <chazco> wilsonnck - Yep
[22:03] <elvirolo> Slart: yes it is quite interesting
[22:03] <KurtKraut> apeiron: it doesn't like my sound card. Crashes or does not record my microphone output.
[22:04] <apeiron> KurtKraut, And other programs record fine?
[22:04] <elvirolo> until last week, i used exclusively KDE, so i had amarok... but Kubuntu is so badly polished that i decided to give gnome a shot
[22:04] <KurtKraut> apeiron: actually, none of them record. But I can clearly hear my voice back from the speakers.
[22:04] <jin> jeebster, it works perfect. even better than VLC :-)
[22:04] <KurtKraut> apeiron: but even if Audacity were recording, it would still crash
[22:04] <jin> I think I have to say goodbye to VLC
[22:05] <jin> subtitle/audio selection is even easier :-)
[22:05] <jeebster> jin: I would've not tried to tell you it's good otherwise ;)
[22:05] <apeiron> KurtKraut, I've got the Ubuntustudio stuff installed, I'm sure there's something similar. Just gotta find it.
[22:05] <jeebster> VLC just tries to be a player
[22:05] <KillerOrca> I am using a KVM switch between a ubuntu and win box, but the ubuntu screen is too far to one-side, I adjust it, but the win screen is then too far to the other side, any ideas?
[22:05] <jeebster> Which it originally wasn't D:
[22:05] <Dr_willis> KillerOrca,  sounds like the refresh rates on the 2 os's differ.
[22:06] <KillerOrca> Dr_willis: why would that move a screen image too far to one side?
[22:06] <jeebster> Also, jin - I'd really recommend you to at least build the mplayer part of smplayer yourself :)
[22:06] <Dr_willis> KillerOrca,  you could just ahve ubuntu share the  desktop , and access it from the windows box with a vnc viewer.
[22:06] <wilsonnck> chazco: http://crunchbang.org/archives/2007/12/18/configure-wireless-on-the-command-line/
[22:06] <VSpike> hm. 8.10 really doesn't like me :)
[22:06] <Dr_willis> KillerOrca,   this is a crt or lcd? Ive seen similer issues in the past with  different os's using different rates./
[22:06] <jin> jeebster, why? it's working great. I only play ISO's and avi/H.264 with it
[22:06] <KillerOrca> Dr_willis: well the boxes are literally right next to each other, it is a CRT
[22:06] <constantin_> how do i place trash on my desktop??
[22:06] <jeebster> Because those guys really don't want to make "stable" releases any more, basically "newer = more stable" is the way in multimedia oo software usually
[22:06] <apeiron> KurtKraut, Most of the things I'm seeing use jack.
[22:07] <apeiron> KurtKraut, So see if you can get jack working.
[22:07] <nintendork32> does /home have to be on an ext3 partition? im wanting it to be on a fat32 partition
[22:07] <sudobash> im trying to work on a laptop in California but it is on wifi and keeps lagging bad
[22:07] <jrib> nintendork32: that will cause problems
[22:07] <apeiron> nintendork32, ewww, why?
[22:07] <VSpike> nintendork32: not a good idea
[22:07] <sudobash> dont try to upgrade an OS from 3000 miles away
[22:07] <jeebster> jin: 1) the decoding etc. support has gotten even better, ordered chapters support and ASS rendering has gotten better
[22:07] <Dr_willis> KillerOrca,  some crt's are just that way.. ive seen it with dualbooting also.. I dont use crts any more.. so cant really say much more on the topic, other then check  the refresh-rates  or other monitor settings.. be sure they are identical on both os's
[22:07] <nintendork32> ok i wont
[22:07] <jeebster> also, jin - H.264 in AVI is eww D:
[22:08] <Dr_willis> KillerOrca,  kvm's often cause some issues with ubuntu ive seen several other people in here with monitor/setting issues due to using KVM's
[22:08] <nintendork32> ill put it on an ext3 partition
[22:08] <VSpike> nintendork32: do you need to share data with a windows install? is that the issue?
[22:08] <vpereira> i would like to know, what usb stick wlan is reconized by default by ubuntu ?
[22:09] <blakbeardscrotum> ^_^
[22:09] <KillerOrca> Dr_willis: well it seems to not be the KVM, I had the ubuntu box on another monitor before I moved it to the switch and put another computer on the old monitor and the screen was also too far to one side
[22:09] <Dr_willis> KillerOrca,  the last crt i used that had similer issues.. just had to hit the 'auto-fix' button.. yep. it was an annoyance.
[22:10] <nintendork32> VSpike I plan to reinstall windows with dual boot
[22:10] <Dr_willis> KillerOrca,  I got a similer issue on my OLD imacDV under Linux.. I cant even adjust it under linux. I loose like 4 letters to the left on the console. :(
[22:10] <VSpike> nintendork32: you can use an ext2 IFS driver for windows to access ext2/3
[22:10] <elvirolo> i'm looking for a good amarok equivalent for gnome but i can't make up my mind
[22:10] <jrib> !player | elvirolo
[22:10] <GT> Does anyone know anything about SUM?
[22:10] <Schoen|Attic> how do you change the permission of a program?
[22:11] <jrib> GT: like when you add two numbers?  Ask a better question
[22:11] <jrib> Schoen|Attic: why?
[22:11] <KillerOrca> Dr_willis: I wish I had an auto-fix button, I just see a reset one
[22:11] <cordor> synaptic is getting very slow on downloading software. is there any mirror i could use?
[22:11] <nikitis> Question, where is a linux application that you can test out your 'esc' key?
[22:11] <elvirolo> jrib: yes i tried all of these, but none of them are quite as good as amarok
[22:11] <VSpike> nintendork32: alternatively, put /home on ext3 and create a shared fat32 partition, and symlink into it from home for Music, Videos, Pictures etc.
[22:11] <jrib> cordor: system -> administration -> software sources
[22:11] <GT> jrib: SUM, Start-up Manager, it's an acronym. Thus the capital letters.
[22:11] <Schoen|Attic> i have to try something with a program that has to shutdown my computer
[22:11] <jrib> elvirolo: why not just use amarok then?
[22:12] <jrib> GT: yes, but you still need to ask a better question :)
[22:12] <nikitis> Can someone try out the program xev and tell me if it registers their escape key?
[22:12] <elvirolo> jrib: because it looks awful under gnome ^^
[22:12] <nintendork32> ftp=VSpike: Simlink?
[22:12] <jrib> nikitis: YES
[22:12] <Dr_willis> nikitis,  yes it does
[22:12] <nikitis> Rats
[22:12] <GT> jrib: I've tried asking a better question, and no one's replied. I'm generalizing my search.
[22:12] <nintendork32> VSpike woops didnt mean for that ftp stuff
[22:12] <nikitis> cause my escape key doesn't work anymore :(
[22:12] <jrib> !anyone | GT, this is why:
[22:12] <GT> jrib: "Does anyone know anything about what configuration files SUM writes to, or how to solve the Unexpected IRQ trap problem?"
[22:12] <nintendork32> acedently hit ctrl+v
[22:13] <nintendork32> well bbl
[22:13] <jrib> GT: yes, ask that
[22:13] <cordor> jrib: thanks
[22:13] <Schoen|Attic> how do you change the permission of a program?
[22:13] <jrib> Schoen|Attic: why?
[22:13] <Schoen|Attic> i have to try something with a program that has to shutdown my computer
[22:13] <Schoen|Attic> but it needs root^^
[22:13] <jrib> Schoen|Attic: so?
[22:14] <jrib> !who | Schoen|Attic
[22:14] <VSpike> I got a pretty good crash when my screensaver kicked in. Screen filled with garbage.  Bullet proof X kicked in and bascially interfered since it kept jumping me out of console and it too was filled with garbage.  Also, console was squashed and repeated 4 times across the screen.  Had to reboot in the end. http://pastebin.com/m2b933433 - can anything useful be drawn from these logs?  Should I report a bug?
[22:14] <aLeSD> \hi all
[22:14] <aLeSD> how could I run the netwotk manager applet by hand
[22:15] <aLeSD> cause i can 't see it on the task basr
[22:15] <jrib> aLeSD: nm-applet
[22:15] <aLeSD> bar
[22:15] <aLeSD> jrib thanks
[22:15] <Dominik> how does ubuntu deal with more then 4 gigs of ram?
[22:15] <jrib> Dominik: fine on 64 bit or with PAE on the 32 bit server kernel
[22:16] <Dominik> jrib: on 32 bit... dunno if im ready to move to 64 (unaware of the implications)
[22:16] <vpereira> what usb stick wlan is reconized by default in ubuntu ?
[22:16] <jrib> Dominik: you aren't going to see all 4gb of ram on the 32bit desktop version
[22:17] <Daejeo> how can I remove bind dns server from ssh? what command should i issue as root
[22:17] <Dominik> jrib: isn't there some sort of extension? I know that windows can assign every thread 4 gigs seperatly, is there no equivalent under linux?
[22:18] <Dominik> jrib: and is the 4 gig limit per core, per cpu, or per system?
[22:18] <vpereira> to be honest maybe i can configure my usb wlan stick
[22:18] <vpereira> i used the ndiswrapper
[22:18] <vpereira> with the drivers
[22:18] <VSpike> vpereira: anything with a ralink chipset should be good
[22:18] <gravemind> hey I am having problems with printer setup -- keeps asking me for a root password on localhost. What is local host and how do I find out the root password
[22:18] <jrib> Dominik: you probably want PAE.  That's not used by default.  Why don't you use 64bit if you really need the 4gb?
[22:18] <KillerOrca> Dr_willis: Welll I messed around with my refresh rate and resolution, seems to have done something
[22:18] <VSpike> gravemind: using cups?
[22:18] <vpereira> my drivers are installed, hardware reconized
[22:18] <R00sterJuice> does anyone know if Photoshop CS4 works in ubuntu?
[22:18] <jrib> !appdb > R00sterJuice
[22:18] <vpereira> but if i do ifconfig wlan0 it dont find the interface..
[22:18] <gravemind> VSpike: does the ubuntu gui use cups? If so, yes
[22:18] <R00sterJuice> with wine or whatever
[22:19] <gravemind> VSpike: I really have no idea what I'm doing
[22:19] <Dominik> jrib: PAE? and what are the implications of going to 64 I thought that the programs are NOT backwards compatible
[22:19] <VSpike> gravemind: have you tried just typing in your own password?
[22:19] <jrib> Dominik: for the desktop user you'll just have to used the icedtea plugin for java instead of sun's because they don't have one out
[22:20] <Dominik> jrib: so all my programs will work fine? even MS Word emulated through wine?
[22:20] <jrib> GT: you can probably use strace if you are desperate.  Or 'dpkg -L whatever_package_sum_is_in | grep /etc'
[22:20] <vpereira> is it normal ? i installed my drivers using ndiswrapper, i modprobed, its reconized and the hardware is present.. why i cannot do a ifconfig in my wlan0 ?
[22:20] <jrib> Dominik: should, yes
[22:20] <Dominik> jrib: also what is the hardware limitation up to now adays?
[22:20] <jrib> Dominik: I use wine fine, same as in 32bit
[22:21] <wilsonnck> vpereira: try ifconfig -a if it's there sudo ifconfig <interface> up
[22:21] <jrib> Dominik: on the amount of ram you mean?
[22:21] <VSpike> vpereira: is it called something other than wlan 0
[22:21] <Dominik> jrib: yea, I think its 64 gigs... ?
[22:21] <jrib> Dominik: no idea
[22:21] <nintendork45> ok i am on the live disk how should i partition my disk to have /home on a separate partition
[22:21] <gravemind> VSpike: yeah but that didn't work. I don't even think I have a root password. maybe localhost does, but I don't know what it is
[22:21] <Dominik> jrib: I can install a 32 bit system on 64 bit hardware, right?
[22:22] <jj_galvez> how can I make my wireless connection connect at boot rather then when I log into the gui?
[22:22] <vpereira> i will check it
[22:22] <vpereira> wait guys
[22:22] <jj_galvez> Dominik: yes
[22:22] <chrisl> Can someone help me?
[22:22] <jrib> Dominik: you can install the i386 on most 64bit systems, yes
[22:22] <chrisl> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6206423#post6206423
[22:22] <wilsonnck> nintendork45: create the partition and set the mountpoint to /home
[22:22] <jrib> Dominik: the i386 version of ubuntu I mean
[22:22] <gravemind> jj_galvez: I like how sometimes there are easy questions that we are able to answer
[22:23] <Dominik> jrib: cool, last question, is the 4 gig limit a limit per core, per cpu, or per system. ?
[22:23] <KillerOrca> will a .exe work from crucial for scanning my RAM or no?
[22:23] <aLeSD> jrib: I killed it ... iow could I start it another time ?
[22:23] <nintendork45> wilsonnck after i partition it i do the rest on my normal install correct?
[22:23] <Dominik> KillerOrca: use wine
[22:23] <nintendork45> not on live disk?
[22:23] <jrib> aLeSD: I don't know.  I'm guessing just running the command again gives you some error?
[22:23] <jj_galvez> gravemind: and at other time the questions are harder?
[22:23] <ole_> hey
[22:23] <recon69> ﻿Dominik: limit of 32bit processors
[22:23] <jin> I need a replacement for gimp :\
[22:23] <gravemind> jj_galvez: yeah sometimes
[22:24] <chrisl> I can't boot into windows because of GRUB
[22:24] <aLeSD> jrib: no no ... it works ... but is a fork of hte terminal ... I want it indipendent
[22:24] <vpereira> mmm
[22:24] <jrib> jin: what is it missing?
[22:24] <chrisl> What do I do?
[22:24] <Sam18> jin: photoshop xD
[22:24] <vpereira> maybe pan0 ??
[22:24] <wilsonnck> nintendork45: ah, you're trying to create a separate /home partition on a current installation?
[22:24] <jpoRS> ole: go ahead and ask your question
[22:24] <Sam18> jin: i like gimp :-p
[22:24] <gravemind> jj_galvez: most questions are too hard
[22:24] <jin> jrib, I don't like its interface
[22:24] <jrib> aLeSD: just add '& disown' to the end of the command
[22:24] <Dominik> recon69: but that would suggest a limit per core, right?
[22:24] <nintendork45> wilsonnck yes
[22:24] <node357> !info krita
[22:24] <jin> Sam18, can you get photoshop working on Ubuntu?
[22:24] <nintendork45> wilsonnck can i /msg you?
[22:24] <Sam18> jin: cs2 works with wine
[22:25] <aLeSD> jrib: disown ... that's new for me
[22:25] <wilsonnck> nintendork45: please
[22:25] <Sam18> jin: but u could try gimpshop
[22:25] <jj_galvez> gravemind: I know, this wireless thing is driving me nuts, if I set it up correctly in interfaces the networkmanager stops working.  I'm not really sure if that is what is supposed to happen or not
[22:25] <Michael> Is there a way I can install Ubuntu 8 to an "iPod" and have a computer boot from said "iPod", but also allow the "iPod" to work as a music player while not plugged into a computer?
[22:25] <aLeSD> jrid: what's mean ?
[22:25] <node357> jin, you could try krita
[22:25] <chrisl> Please, I really need to get into windows
[22:25] <jin> Sam18, I have been trying to install gimpshop the last 2 hours on my ubuntu amd64 system. no luck
[22:25] <aLeSD> jrid: son of init ?
[22:25] <jrib> aLeSD: your terminal no longer manages it
[22:25] <jrib> aLeSD: I don't know
[22:25] <oskar-> hi
[22:25] <vpereira> what is pan0 ?
[22:25] <gravemind> jj_galvez: I think it is -- you either use one or the other
[22:25] <zsquareplusc> Michael: is the player attaching as mass storage device, like a memory stick?
[22:25] <oskar-> chrisl:  what doesn't work?
[22:25] <Sam18> Sam18: isn't there a package for it?!
[22:26] <bluefox83> i am having issues finding an open forum for issues regarding intrepid in the HP DV6000 laptop series
[22:26] <chrisl> oskar: GRUB
[22:26] <Michael> Yeah
[22:26] <vpereira> personal area networking
[22:26] <ole_> hey
[22:26] <Sam18> Sam18: honestly i haven't tried it until now
[22:26] <jpoRS> michael: I don't know if iPods can do this, but if you can partition part of it as a USB drive, then yes you should be able to in 8.10, though I haven't tried it
[22:26] <gravemind> hey can someone help me find out what cups is and what localhost is and how I can find out its root password
[22:26] <chrisl> oskar-: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6206423#post6206423
[22:26] <aLeSD> jrib: yes ... init son ... thaks ... that's was illuminating
[22:26] <jrib> gravemind: are you sure you don't want to just use System -> Administration -> Printing
[22:26] <bluefox83> the only forums i can find are closed due to them being started when intrepid was in testing...i can't find any follow-up forums
[22:26] <KillerOrca> gravemind: the root password is usually your login password, localhost is the machine's ip
[22:26] <Michael> Aha! Thanks. And do I need GRUB to boot? And if so, what partition should GRUB be on?
[22:27] <jj_galvez> gravemind: so I guess if I want the wireless to connect at startup I need to use interfaces then and not network manager
[22:27] <zsquareplusc> Michael: if the computer supports booting from usb. using syslinux for the stick works
[22:27] <gravemind> jrib: that is exactly what I am using
[22:27] <gravemind> KillerOrca: I try my login password but it doesn't work
[22:28] <zsquareplusc> Michael: there is a page in the wiki, on how to make your USb flash drive bootable. follow one of these guides
[22:28] <jrib> gravemind: can you pastebin exactly what you are seeing?
[22:28] <BULLE_> zsquareplusc: or jsut use the tool thats available in ubuntu
[22:28] <bluefox83> holy crapola that's a lot of lag D:
[22:28] <gravemind> jj_galvez: most people are able to connect at startup with network manager
[22:28] <gravemind> jrib: alright
[22:28] <effi> hey
[22:28] <effi> can someone help me witht he right management in ubuntu?
[22:28] <zsquareplusc> BULLE_: yea i whish it would work. but its broken, it never created a stick that booted here

[22:29] <jpinx> somehow there is stuff in my wastebasket which I don't have permission to remove. I need to do it as root, but where is that folder in the system?
[22:29] <vpereira> i dont know, just worked :-P
[22:29] <effi> i would like to edit a user, so he cannot make any changes either on the system either on other adjustments like creating taskbars and stuff
[22:29] <jj_galvez> I know thats whats driving me nuts, when I reboot I don't have wifi until I log into the GUI, which I can already see could be a problem if I ever can't log into the gui to fix something
[22:29] <Michael> Why can't I install Ubuntu 8 to a 2 gig flash drive? Partition manager says it cant partition under 2 something gigs, any reason why?
[22:29] <recon69> ﻿Dominik: comes back to the architecture of your system , 32 bit processor = 32bit data bus on motherboard = 32bit of memory addresses. I suppose it the data bus on you motherboard that really decides. nearly always 32bit processor = 32 bit bus. I could be wrong.
[22:29] <ActionParsnip> !usb

[22:30] <blakbeardscrotum> ^_^
[22:30] <zsquareplusc> Michael you want to install it as system, not as live cd? that should work too, but i guess the livecd is easier to boot on all the different machines

[22:30] <jpoRS> effi: System>Administration>Users and Groups.  Unlock.  Add User.  User Privilages tab.  Does that help?

[22:35] <MaT-dg> jrib: yes, want to try. 32-bit version is also bugged anyway
[22:35] <macondo> crdlb: anyway, is there a way that I can build it?
[22:35] <KillerOrca> zsquareplusc: where would I find that output?
[22:35] <zsquareplusc> KillerOrca: its a command you can run in the terminal
[22:35] <jrib> MaT-dg: purge the flashplugin-nonfree package and copy libflashplayer.so to ~/.mozilla/plugins/
[22:35] <levron> anyone?
[22:36] <jrib> levron: you need to be more specific.  What settings are you looking for exactly?
[22:36] <levron> jrib, where you set the number of desktops
[22:36] <crdlb> macondo: what exactly is "rtp"?
[22:37] <jrib> levron: you should be able to right click on the workspace switcher and set that there

[22:39] <snifer> anybdoy know a solution to this problem?
[22:39] <snifer> or am i the only 1
[22:39] <MTecknology> snifer: there's a link around it
[22:39] <jrib> effi: take 20 minutes and read... I don't know offhand and I'm not interested enough to read it for you :)
[22:39] <MTecknology> snifer: just ignore it - it's a microsoft thing
[22:39] <vastlee> Snifer, it's almost 2009 man.  Get a gmail account.  Soo much better than Hotmail.
[22:40] <snifer> i rather stick with hotmail :)

[22:43] <recon69> ﻿snifer: basically, it will keep bugging you till you install it. I have not installed it myself. but i have other problems with hotmail atm. cant login most of the time due to 'connection interrupted' msg. but i have a flaky install of ndistwrapper.
[22:43] <jrib> levron: did you select "extra" in system -> preferences -> appearance -> effects?

[22:44] <Firefishe> I'm having a problem installing ubuntu 8.04 on a newish laptop, an Asus G50V-X1.  The problem occurs when I get to the point where the installer looks for the DVD as an install source.  I get a DVD Not Found error.
[22:44] <jrib> gravemind: do you get the same prompt when you try to run synaptic from your menu?
[22:44] <jrib> levron: no problem
[22:44] <snifer> recon69, but thats what they want
[22:45] <levron> wow the cube is so sweet
[22:45] <snifer> recon69, We recommend that you upgrade your web browser so you can get the most out of Windows Live Hotmail. Upgrading should only take a few minutes. To get started, choose one of the browsers below:

[22:46] <oskar-> blakbeardscrotum: of course ;)
[22:46] <nickh> firefishe: Some CDROM/DVDROM drives are picky about CD-Rs - try re-burning your .ISO at a slower speed, and see what happens - I've had this issue on some older machines.
[22:46] <jrib> gravemind: is this GNOME?
[22:46] <MTecknology> blakbeardscrotum: by far - fedora is one of the wirst distros imho
[22:46] <blakbeardscrotum> oskar-: strange, when i asked in fedora if it was better than ubuntu, they all got mad and banned me.
[22:46] <gravemind> jrib: yes
[22:46] <MTecknology> blakbeardscrotum: that's one of the reasons
[22:46] <blakbeardscrotum> MTecknology: outa curiosity, why makes fedora so sucky?
[22:46] <cordor> anyone know a sopcast deb?
[22:46] <DasEi>  Michael: do you get by?
[22:46] <jrib> gravemind: what does 'groups' return?
[22:47] <eye_pee> ﻿MTecknology> that's a personal opinion. show me reasons.
[22:47] <recon69> ﻿snifer: no idea then. have you checked the version of the DL?

[22:47] <nite_johnboy> Where do I need to look for the Bootup logfile to identify what could be causing problems ? ?
[22:47] <MTecknology> blakbeardscrotum: support, usability, installation procedure, hardware support otb, etc
[22:47] <snifer> recon69, ya i got the latest one i upgraded not long ago 2
[22:47] <MaT-dg> snifer: just get rid of hotmail, it wil solve ALL your problems ;)
[22:47] <sweet_dreams> wilsonnck: I dragged it

[22:59] <aross1> gravemind: there is a porgram called envyng-gtk which inspects your configuration (of ATI and NVidia cards)
[22:59] <macondo> crdlb: I've found a very nice application that has real-time plotting and seems to be much more active. It's kst
[22:59] <gravemind> jrib: that's what I'm trying -- it downloads the driver but stops there -- it doesn't enable the driver or ask me to restart or anythingg.
[22:59] <aross1> gravemind: it then installs the best driver for it
[22:59] <macondo> crdlb: you can just pipe the points like $ ./sensor | kst -x 1 -y 2 -
[22:59] <aross1> gravemind: i've had nothing but success with it so far
[23:00] <gravemind> aross1: I thought using envyng was discouraged
[23:00] <aross1> gravemind: discouraged or not, it works for me
[23:00] <gravemind> aross1: I know what driver to use, I just don't know why it isn't working
[23:00] <Elmnas> no once know?
[23:00] <gravemind> aross1: I think there may be something wrong with my xorg.conf
[23:00] <jrib> gravemind: hmm.  Which version of the driver did you try? 177?
[23:00] <oskar-> chrisl: does it boot, if the vista hard drive is the only one connected?

[23:01] <aross1> jrib: don't want to take the fun out if!
[23:01] <snifer> recon69, i found the solution
[23:01] <gravemind> aross1: sorry I misunderstood. I thought it was similar to automatix and could break your system or mess it up
[23:01] <Symmetria> errr why on earth does apt-get dist-upgrade to intrepid now run a find /
[23:01] <jrib> Tetracomm: I like vim.  You might want to try anjuta or geany
[23:01]  * Symmetria is now going to wait for HOURS for this upgrade cause of that *sigh*
[23:01] <sjdurfey> whenever i suspend my computer, and bring it out of suspension, i cannot get my wireless connection to come back on, even if i try to manually bring it back up, is there a fix for this?
[23:02] <raven> my wifi was working last night, nothing has changed, and now when connecting the auth box pops up, and if i hit connect, it pauses and pops up again.
[23:02] <aross1> gravemind: aptitude install envyng envyng-gtk (or envyng-qt3 if you use kde) should do it
[23:02]  * Symmetria notes running find / on a 30 terabyte mirror server is a very very time consuming thing ;p

[23:03] <gravemind> aross1: alright -- I am going to try jrib's suggestions first though. I think this issue may need more investigation than I know how to do
[23:03] <aross1> jrib: i just use 173 and it gives good stability... personal choice maybe
[23:03] <raven> my wifi was working last night, nothing has changed, and now when connecting the auth box pops up, and if i hit connect, it pauses and pops up again.
[23:03] <LjL> gravemind: it's not as bad as automatix, but still not recommended unless one has specific needs

[23:04] <jrib> gravemind: why are you using -proposed :/
[23:04] <chrisl> oskar-: Reading the thread, you would find that GRUB is on the MBR of the ubuntu drive, and vista is installed on the other two drives?
[23:04] <chrisl> Yes
[23:04] <Flannel> khanm78: You might try #ubuntu-offtopic or #ubuntu-marketing

[23:05] <oskar-> chrisl: there is no thread. there is one posting.
[23:05] <jrib> gravemind: -proposed is for testing, you shouldn't use it if you want a working system
[23:05] <Tetracomm> Thank you, jrib.

[23:05] <raven> hey - last night my wifi worked fine, but when i woke up this morning it would not get past the authentication stage
[23:06] <raven> every time i try to connect it just pauses for a sec, then asks for auth again
[23:06] <gravemind> jrib: I'd better disengage it then
[23:06] <Elison> #ubuntu-br o #ubuntu-pt tem poca gente
[23:06] <gravemind> jrib: are backports ok?
[23:06] <Tex29> hi, anybody willing to help me in setting up a printer on a wl500gp router?
[23:06] <schelf> Glasseye on Ubuntu you can use Terminal  Service Client

[23:06] <LjL> Elison: solamente ingles aqui por favor. si podes falar ingles, benvindo, pero si no fala en #ubuntu-br o #ubuntu-pt
[23:06] <oskar-> chrisl: ok. was the linux drive connected in the same way, and the bios boot order also the same when vista was installed?
[23:06] <jrib> gravemind: yeah, those are fine
[23:06] <gravemind> jrib: alright, reloading synaptic
[23:06] <chrisl> oskar-: yes
[23:07] <raven> my wifi was working last night, nothing has changed, and now when connecting the auth box pops up, and if i hit connect, it pauses and pops up again.
[23:07] <mohbana_> what's wrong with audio on skype
[23:07] <katakaio> mohbana_: Can you describe the symptoms?
[23:07] <gravemind> jrib: I wonder if it would be good to put a "only for testing" message or something next to proposed so people won't click it by accident
[23:07] <raven> ok come on its been like 25 min
[23:07] <raven> cant someone help
[23:07] <schelf> raven: my wifi has the same problem, if i click show password it shows the wrong password...

[23:08] <katakaio> mohbana_: I had a similar issue. Which source did you use to download Skype?
[23:08] <raven> mohbana_, it's possible that skype uses another interface than ur other programs, i.e., OSS as opposed to ALSA
[23:08] <Ap0llo112> hi, can someone help me i am having a hard drive issue

[23:10] <katakaio> mohbana_: OK, that's good. Raven is right - you'll want to mess around with your audio device settings in Skype
[23:10] <MTecknology> chrisl: if you asked in ubuntuforums, then wait for the people in the forums to help you
[23:10] <chrisl> MTecknology: I did, but no one is answering. My thread is already past page 4!

[23:11] <recon69> ﻿raven: have you done the normal things, rebooted you router, checked that you got the right key ect?
[23:11] <katakaio> mohbana_: You'll want to open Skype, select "Options", followed by "Sound devices"
[23:11] <LjL> MTecknology: ok
[23:11] <n8tuser> raven-> did you check which AP are you associating with?
[23:11] <mohbana_> katakaio: thanks, i've tried that
[23:11] <raven> recon69: it's the right key, i havent rebooted router cuz others r using wifi, but if u think that will help i will try it

[23:11] <raven> others r using internet*
[23:11] <chrisl> Already asked the grub IRC!

[23:12] <gerick> hola gente
[23:12] <mohbana_> katakaio: interfaces? you mean for 'sound in' and 'sound out' etc?

[23:12] <gerick> necesito una mano con un driver... tengo el driver wireless corriendo perfectamente en ubuntu 8.04.1 pero en opensuse11 no lo reconoce
[23:12] <oskar-> chrisl: you should notice, that it is in fact a windows problem, somewhere between a complicated proprietary boot process and a lack of usable error messages
[23:12] <n8tuser> raven-> its only proper if you do prefix a nick on your responses
[23:12] <MTecknology> chrisl: Visit the sites listed. Your answer is most likely there
[23:12] <teethlikelions> has anyone had success with CAIRO-DOCK on INTREPID
[23:12] <gerick> hay alguna forma de llevar este driver wireless al opensuse?
[23:13] <jrib> !es | gerick
[23:13] <Lamo> Flannel: Its a repo for MySQL Enterprise
[23:13] <gravemind> jrib: alright I finished updating. Should I try the restricted drivers manager again?

[23:13] <chrisl> MTecknology: I've already looked at those sites, seriously

[23:13] <chrisl> I've tried their suggestions but nothing seems to work
[23:13] <sweet_dreams> Has anyone success in running Pokerstar with wine?

[23:13] <theofiice2> hi
[23:14] <theofiice2> is there any one who use red5
[23:14] <MTecknology> chrisl: perhaps read them again? The problem isn't GRUB - it's your MBR. Like the thing says. You need to install a boot loader to your MBR.
[23:14] <Ap0llo> Hi im an intrepid user and i need help
[23:14] <MTecknology> chrisl: read those pages
[23:14] <gravemind> jrib: the same behavior happens. It fails silently
[23:14] <Glasseye> I don't have terminal service client installed, how do i do that?
[23:14] <marsje> Shinj1EVA: Jumbo packets? (MTU size)
[23:14] <ablyss> Shinj1EVA: sorry whats xfer mean ?
[23:14] <chrisl> Install a bootloader? I already have GRUB!

[23:15] <Shinj1EVA> marsje: but for some reason, SMB seems to be getting better speeds

[23:15] <nofearbg> Hi all
[23:15] <marsje> Shinj1EVA: mine does and it really was an improvement...
[23:15] <oskar-> chrisl: the message "Starting up..." and so on comes after selecting vista in grub, right?
[23:15] <Shinj1EVA> marsje: how much of an improvement? Maybe i'll invest in one..
[23:15] <chrisl> oskar-: exactly how it's written in the thread
[23:15] <marsje> Shinj1EVA: I can't really explain network speeds... it's a mystery to me
[23:15] <theofiice2> is there any one who use red5
[23:15] <oskar-> chrisl: there's no information about that in the "thread"
[23:16] <oskar-> chrisl: or am i looking in the false one?

[23:16] <jrib> gravemind: purge the package and install it in a terminal
[23:16] <erUSUL> theofiice2: what is red5 ??
[23:16] <MTecknology> oskar-: Please give us information we ask for rather than pointing us back at that post. That post has very very little useful information
[23:16] <jrib> gravemind: what does 'uname -m' return by the way?
[23:17] <gravemind> jrib: apt-get purge?

[23:18] <kim__> Slart: comic book reader
[23:18] <erUSUL> kim__: what does "file yourfile.cbr" returns??
[23:18] <Shinj1EVA> marsje: the drives only write that fast.. which is what was limiting it
[23:18] <chrisl> MTecknology: Like what information?
[23:18] <schelf> Glasseye, use sudo apt-get install tsclient
[23:18] <gravemind> jrib: when you come back -- did you want me to purge jockey or nvidia-177?
[23:18] <sluxor> Is there a way I can get Network Manager to behave with a static IP configuration?
[23:18] <Slart> kim__: seems like it's really just a rar file with images in it

[23:18]  * sluxor is using intrepid
[23:18] <marsje> Shinj1EVA: I can't explain... but I know you can tweak a lot in NFS
[23:19] <kim__> slart: ok so how do i use it?
[23:19] <MTecknology> chrisl: No it doesn't, We have no idea where this is occuring
[23:19] <Shinj1EVA> marsje: yeah, was hoping someone had a magic number :)
[23:19] <ablyss> sluxor: if you have a static ip you just use the static ip option
[23:19] <schelf> sluxor if you use 8.10 nope
[23:19] <Slart> kim__: or try comix
[23:19] <Slart> !info comix

[23:19] <Glasseye> schelf: Couldn't find package tsclient
[23:19] <MTecknology> chrisl: that post has three pieces of information. the first one is useful right now. When does this occur?
[23:19] <chrisl> oskar-: Right after I select enter with the Vista option selected in the GRUB menu
[23:20] <sluxor> schelf, yes i'm using 8.10 , is this going to be fixed in an update later on or am I doomed to a life of DHCP traffic?
[23:20] <kim__> Slart: have tried somehow i didn't work
[23:20] <Ap0llo> can anyone answer my question, when i install another operating system why is my HDD invisible except under the linux eye
[23:20] <schelf> sluxor:it is listed as a bug so hopefully it gets fixed

[23:21] <cynicality> hey, got a sound problem for the latest release.

[23:21] <pi-meson2> the version of gnutls that ships with 8.10 has a problem with reading firefox-exported certificates. Is there a known work-around?
[23:21] <Slart> Ap0llo: some other, inferior, operating systems don't really handle partitions with ext3 fils systems.. =)
[23:21] <ablyss> sluxor: probably not worth it but a router would provide you w/ static ip until ubuntu fixes it

[23:24] <MTecknology> chrisl: oskar-: It looks like your issue is with Windows itself. You'll need to repair the Windows bootloader and then probably restore grub after that.
[23:24] <cynicality> Every once in a while in Ubuntu 8.10, sound seems to just stop working. I use alsa, and when I check the audio settings and test it, I get the message "audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink: Could not open audio device for playback, Device is being used by another application."  This is for all the tests under Sound events, music and movies, & audio conversion.  A quick reboot often sol
[23:25] <chrisl> MTecknology: How?
[23:25] <Slart> Ap0llo: how did you create this partition, what file system does it use,  what operating system are you running now?
[23:25] <MTecknology> !windows | chrisl
[23:25] <gravemind> jrib: I was having some problems earlier and restored the default configuration (which uses nv I think) so I could use 1440x900 resolution. http://paste.ubuntu.com/74059/
[23:25] <anubis_> This system doesn't like NTFS drives.
[23:25] <MTecknology> chrisl: that's going to be your best help for fixing a windows bootup problem
[23:25] <chrisl> MTecknology: I've already asked there, they weren't able to help!
[23:26] <sjdurfey> whenever i suspend my computer, and bring it out of suspension, i cannot get my wireless connection to come back on, even if i try to manually bring it back up, is there a fix for this?

[23:26] <jrib> gravemind: that's your current one?
[23:26] <MTecknology> chrisl: XP or Vista?
[23:26] <oskar-> MTecknology: chrisl, is there a file "bootmgr" and a directory "boot" in the root of the ntfs file system of your sdb?
[23:26] <Ap0llo> Slart im running ubuntu intrepid but i need a windows partition for school work and family purposes, i tried changing the format using gparted but nothing helps
[23:26] <erUSUL> sjdurfey: have you tried a load unload driver module cicle?
[23:26] <erUSUL> sjdurfey: may be a workaraund ?
[23:26] <gravemind> jrib: the error on boot was something like screens improperly configured. yes this is the current one (I think hardware drivers changes it when it fails silently)

[23:27] <MTecknology> chrisl: You can boot to the Vista install DVD and choose a repair option there. It'll fix your boot process. Once you repair it and have Vista booting, then go back and restore GRUB. Also... Vista tends to freak out if it's on anything other than partition 0 of drive 0
[23:27] <jrib> M3RLIN1: why? what are you compiling?

[23:28] <chrisl> MTecknology: But I ran the DVD earlier but it didn't fix it
[23:28] <M3RLIN1> jrib: im working on a little program in C++ language
[23:28] <M3RLIN1> for school
[23:28] <chrisl> ARrrrrgh
[23:28] <jrib> gravemind: well I need you to pastebin /var/log/Xorg.0.log after X fails.  Can you manage that?
[23:28] <MTecknology> chrisl: did you choose the repair boot option?
[23:28] <jrib> M3RLIN1: g++ -o NAME FILE.cc
[23:28] <chrisl> MTecknology: I think so
[23:28] <chrisl> Yeah
[23:28] <chrisl> I did
[23:28] <jrib> M3RLIN1: install build-essential first
[23:29] <MTecknology> chrisl: and what did it tell you?
[23:29] <raven> my wifi is still refusing to connect
[23:29] <M3RLIN1> jrib: it compiles an .out file
[23:29] <chrisl> MTecknology: That is was repaired successfully
[23:29] <Tr3y-> chrisl: I came in a little late on this, but you have 2 partitions and duel booting isn't working?
[23:29] <M3RLIN1> jrib: what should i do it
[23:29] <jrib> M3RLIN1: not how I told you to do it
[23:29] <cmdbbq> I am following this how to: http://preview.tinyurl.com/5omaxe , but I want to run proftpd from inetd rather than as a standalone, is the command different? when i run the command given (to start the server) I get the following error: ProFTPd is started from inetd/xinetd.
[23:29] <Slart> Ap0llo: well.. you can create a small partition using FAT32 or ntfs and put the files there when you're on linux.. windows can then read those files normally..
[23:29] <MTecknology> Tr3y-: two drives, second for vista
[23:29] <chrisl> Tr3y: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6206423#post6206423
[23:29] <gravemind> jrib: yes. I'll save a copy to the desktop and then pastebin it once I have my desktop back. I've never used cli browers :)

[23:30] <cynicality> :-D
[23:30] <nofearbg> merlin
[23:30] <Slart> Ap0llo: there are some drivers for windows you can use to read ext3 partitions but I haven't really had any luck with them.. I use an external hard drive to transfer files between windows and linux
[23:30] <jrib> M3RLIN1: if you omit the '-o NAME' part, yes you get 'a.out'.  You can rut it by doing: ./a.out
[23:30] <Tr3y-> time to play catchup on this :-P
[23:30] <MTecknology> Tr3y-: that ctrl-alt-del error comes up after he tried to boot into vista from the grub menu
[23:30] <recon69> ﻿raven: have you checked that it's trying to connect to the correct wireless network?
[23:30] <jrib> gravemind: you can use the 'pastebinit' command
[23:30] <MTecknology> Tr3y-: that's about all we have so far
[23:30]  * clayX waves
[23:30] <Ap0llo> Slart i formatted the partition to ntfs and fat32 and windows still couldnt read it
[23:30] <Tr3y-> Ok, so grub came up properly though, It's not like he forgot to rebuild it into /boot
[23:31] <M3RLIN1> jrib:wll instead of NAME i use my own name but extension is still out
[23:31] <jrib> M3RLIN1: no it's not
[23:31] <Slart> Ap0llo: then something else is wrong, or you're not doing it right
[23:31] <M3RLIN1> nofearbg: hui spleskan da mal4i6 tam
[23:31] <MTecknology> Tr3y-: no - it seems like his vista boot is screwed up inside vista itself
[23:31] <Uplink> how do i get this system process sidebar? http://sudosys.be/files/images/Screenshot_small2.jpeg
[23:31] <clayX> i installed kubuntu x64 on Friday and i have about 10 how to questions
[23:31] <zsquareplusc> Ap0llo: you need to set the correct partition type/id for windoze iirc
[23:31] <M3RLIN1> jrib: k ill try it out
[23:31] <Slart> clayX: just ask
[23:31] <gravemind> jrib: nice!
[23:31] <MTecknology> Uplink: that's conky
[23:32] <Tr3y-> oh, hrmm well vista sucks duel boot xp :-P
[23:32] <Uplink> MTecknology: conky?
[23:32] <clayX> my drives don't mount at boot, have to double click them every time i boot, is this just the way it is?
[23:32] <Tr3y-> or get wine and not use windoze at all lemme think here though lol

[23:32] <jrib> ZeZu: -generic
[23:32] <Uplink> MTecknology: oh lol... thanx
[23:32] <MTecknology> chrisl: honestly... it's likely that you will need to reinstall vista
[23:32] <nofearbg> M3RLIN1: amatior
[23:32] <anubis> Anyone ever hear of fonts looking like they are "Smudged" for lack of a better term?  It happens in Wine.
[23:32] <ZeZu> jrib, why generic ?
[23:32] <chrisl> MTecknology: NO.
[23:33] <Slart> clayX: you can add some lines in a file called /etc/fstab.. after that the drives will be there from the start
[23:33] <erUSUL> clayX: if you list them in fstab with correct options they will be mounted at boot
[23:33] <jrib> ZeZu: because that's the kernel that should be used
[23:33] <anubis> The Wine Menus AND while using Wine.
[23:33] <chrisl> It was working PERFECTLY before I installed ubuntu!
[23:33] <Uplink> btw, anyone know how to add applications to panel? extra ones...
[23:33] <ZeZu> isn't that ppro optmized: ie: ancient
[23:33] <jrib> !generic | ZeZu
[23:33] <MTecknology> chrisl: did you change where the drive is physically located?
[23:33] <ZeZu> ah
[23:33] <user01> hey could i run stuff off of a vpn running juniper it looks like?
[23:33] <ZeZu> thanks
[23:33] <chrisl> MTecknology: No
[23:34] <MTecknology> chrisl: You didn't add a drive in order to do this?
[23:34] <Slart> Uplink: you mean the gnome panel?
[23:34] <habit> Guys, help please! i've installed startup-manager and it is deleted grub.conf . Actually restored original old grub from hardy, now it is hardy.
[23:34] <user01> it says platform not supported . . . but i thought it was alll web-based
[23:34] <chrisl> MTecknology: No
[23:34] <Uplink> Slart: yes :D
[23:34] <M3RLIN1> jrib: what shoud be the extension of the source file
[23:34] <Slart> Uplink: right click, select "+Add to panel" ?
[23:34] <jrib> M3RLIN1: I use .cc for C++ source
[23:34] <M3RLIN1> jrib:cc or cpp
[23:34] <mwhit74> anyone know a good alternative for peerguardian
[23:34] <M3RLIN1> jrib:
[23:34] <MTecknology> chrisl: You had two drives there, already had vista installed on the second drive, and didn't touch the second drive(vista) at all?
[23:34] <Slart> Uplink: or you have some extra applets that isn't in that list?
[23:34] <M3RLIN1> jrib:tnx
[23:35] <mwhit74> ps not very good at code
[23:35] <jrib> M3RLIN1: either is probably fine
[23:35] <Uplink> Slart: yea but besides those
[23:35] <Uplink> Slart: yesss :D
[23:35] <chrisl> MTecknology: No
[23:35] <chrisl> Oh
[23:35] <clayX> i'm running x64, and i can't get java or flash to install.  i've tried what was on the forums, plus what is offered in Adept
[23:35] <Slart> Uplink: hmm.. I have no idea really.. but there ought to be some info about it out there.. google doesn't find anything?
[23:35] <anubis> Anyone ever hear of fonts looking like they are "Smudged" for lack of a better term?  It happens in Wine.
[23:35] <chrisl> MTecknology: The second drive did have a really old install of vista I hadn't used since last year, so I reformatted it and installed ubuntu on it
[23:35] <Uplink> Slart: nope... just junk i dont need
[23:35] <mwhit74> i have heard of moblock and ipblocker, but i have also heard that moblock has alot to do with code and editing it
[23:36] <erUSUL> clayX: flash → sudoa pt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
[23:36] <Slart> clayX: you can install flash by installing the package called flashplugin-nonfree
[23:36] <MTecknology> chrisl: Tell us EXACTLY what you did

[23:36] <atarinox> Hi I have a question...I have an ATI X600 video card, and notice that moving windows around on the desktop and scrolling in firefox seems kinda jerky - not smooth. Is because my vid card can't handle Compiz?
[23:36] <Slart> Uplink: hmm.. I'll have a go at it.. brb
[23:36] <M3RLIN1> jrib:well what about iostream.h should i define it
[23:36] <JILX2> #
[23:36] <Uplink> Slart: thanx a lot bud
[23:36] <M3RLIN1> jrib:how should start the body of the cc  file
[23:37] <jrib> M3RLIN1: iostream.h?  You probably want just iostream...
[23:37] <chrisl> MTecknology: I tried to erase the drive from Vista but it wouldn't let me for some reason, so I just popped in the ubuntu livecd, and during install I had it erase that unused drive and put ubuntu on it
[23:37] <deigel> on my laptop running ubuntu, the wifi seems to turn itself off, if the computer doesn't have activity and the screen dims for sometime.  how do i avoid that ever disconnecting ?
[23:37] <MTecknology> chrisl: pastebin mount

[23:38] <M3RLIN1> jrib:tnx

[23:38] <jrib> benz: feisty is no longer supported
[23:38] <Slart> Uplink: this forum thread seems to have some info.. nothing really simple but still.. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=496185

[23:38] <Uplink> Slart: thanx a lot
[23:38] <benz> jrib: OK, thanks.
[23:39] <mwhit74> Tr3y-: yes its a recovery partition, thats it i think all windows operation systems come with one
[23:39] <oskar-> chrisl, MTecknology: putting "bootmgr" back in place might help, perhaps also using "map (hd0) (hd1)" and "map (hd1) (hd0)"... bye & gn8
[23:39] <chrisl> oskar-: bye
[23:39] <prymal> chirsl: you should have the option to erase the partition on install

[23:40] <MTecknology> chrisl: pastebin 'ls -l /media/Vista'
[23:40] <M3RLIN1> MTecknology: whats that
[23:40] <habit> prymal, 1680x1050
[23:40] <MTecknology> M3RLIN1: sorry, ignore that
[23:40] <Slart> Uplink: that was about the only useful link I found.. hope it helped
[23:40] <prymal> habit: ok.  is that the native resolution of the screen? also the software?
[23:40] <Uplink> Slart: it didnt.. but thanx anyways
[23:41] <BlueEagle> mwhit74: Not all windows installs come with a recovery partition. Some computer manufacturers use it along with an OEM recovery disc.
[23:41] <cmdbbq> any ideas RE: proftpd?
[23:41] <Slart> Uplink: well.. it was worth a try =)
[23:41] <habit> prymal, what do you means about software sorry? My screen have that resolution now.
[23:41] <recon69> ﻿﻿M3RLIN1: you could try #C++Newbie channel as well, if anyone is there i found them much more help as a beginner
[23:41] <jrib> cmdbbq: just repeat your question (after waiting ~15 minutes).  No one has any clue what it is now
[23:41] <MTecknology> cmdbbq: that's what I always see used for ftp servers
[23:41] <Uplink> Slart: are you familiar with conky?

[23:41] <nofearbg> HI ALL
[23:42] <clayX> MTecknology, When i type that command i get no errors it just goes to the next line.  is it installed then?
[23:42] <prymal> habit: some software does not support widescreen, check taht the package you're using does.
[23:42] <mwhit74> BlueEagle: thanks for the correction

[23:42] <Tr3y-> chrisl: did you install vista first or ubuntu
[23:42] <chrisl> Tr3y: Vista
[23:42] <MTecknology> clayX: probably - if you executed the file and it finished error free, it should be installed
[23:42] <habit> prymal, I'm talking about bootsplash screen, you know, when ubuntu is loading.
[23:42] <Tr3y-> I'm just reading some things here I never duel booted vista, but maybe I can find your issue lol
[23:42] <clayX> ok
[23:42] <mrpockets> what does the sh commmand do?
[23:42] <jrib> gravemind1: I'd say you should downgrade from the -proposed stuff and try again after
[23:42] <Tr3y-> did ubuntu read vista ntfs partition on the install?
[23:42] <BlueEagle> gravemind1: Your xorg.conf does show you're unable to load the nvidia kernel module. However lastlog does not have you asking a question. :)
[23:42] <habit> prymal, progressbar, ubuntu logo. It looks stretched.
[23:43] <Trashlord> mrpockets: executes a bash script
[23:43] <jrib> mrpockets: runs the dash shell...
[23:43] <gravemindirssi> jrib: is there a way to do that all at once?
[23:43] <mrpockets> yar!
[23:43] <scientes> how do i unlock aptitute
[23:43] <jrib> gravemindirssi: is this a fresh install?
[23:43] <jrib> scientes: huh?
[23:43] <gravemindirssi> jrib: no. I think I first installed it as gutsy. Or it might have been feisty
[23:43] <MTecknology> chrisl: You switched the drives somewhere - I'm almost entirely certain
[23:43] <Rusty0918> OK here's the error I'm getting: Please insert the disc labeled: 'Ubuntu-Server 8.10 -Intrepid Ibex8 Release i386 (20081028.1)' and press enter. I'm running this off a burned CD-R with the image on it.

[23:43] <maxb_> Does anyone know of a supported way to hook into NetworkManager's writing of the resolv.conf to add custom settings?
[23:43] <sybarite1> mwhit74: manager?
[23:43] <chrisl> MTecknology: Well how do I fix it?
[23:43] <erUSUL> !torrent
[23:44] <Tr3y-> chrisl: when you installed ubuntu and got to the partitions part did the ntfs patition show up
[23:44] <BlueEagle> mrpockets: sh starts a shell. See /bin/sh
[23:44] <chrisl> Tr3y: yes
[23:44] <Tr3y-> ohhh did you change your boot order in your bios at all/
[23:44] <Rusty0918> I tried downloading a another image
[23:44] <Tr3y-> just thought of that that can mess up grub I know that from experience lol
[23:44] <MTecknology> chrisl: I could answer that easier if you could accurately tell me what you did
[23:44] <jrib> gravemindirssi: well I was going to say you could just reinstall if that was the case.  There's some command you can use, but I don't remember what it was.  I have to search my logs as I don't feel like figuring it out again.  One sec
[23:44] <chrisl> Tr3y: It boots to sda
[23:44] <Rusty0918> Compared the md5 stuff and it matched
[23:44] <mwhit74> sybarite1: yea i think thats what its called like utorrent for windows
[23:44] <Rusty0918> Checked the CD for errors prior to installation, there aren't any
[23:44] <chrisl> MTecknology: What do you mean "switched drives" ?
[23:44] <dasickis> is there a way to shut down the computer automatically while its in sleep?
[23:44] <Rusty0918> But it keeps asking me to change the dang media!
[23:44] <Rusty0918> GRRR
[23:44] <gravemindirssi> jrib: thanks :)
[23:45] <dasickis> for example if i want to sleep for 8 hours but then after that shutdown can i do that?
[23:45] <Tr3y-> chrisl: I know when I duel booted I had grub configured for hd0 and hd1 from install of bsd once
[23:45] <dasickis> so like if i go on vacation i want the computer to shut down after a while so I don't waste electricity
[23:45] <Tr3y-> but when I switched the order from booting from cd
[23:45] <natalie> I was wondering if anyone could help me with my PC.  After a while, it will freeze and have to be manually reset.  When it comes back up, it will freeze again.  It will continue to do this until the computer is shut down for a minute.  Then it works again.  Any idea?
[23:45] <dasickis> but then if i wake up it should be in sleep
[23:45] <Tr3y-> the hd0 and hd1 got swapped
[23:45] <csilk> !cronjob
[23:45] <sybarite1> mwhit74: ok most people just call it clients i think... personally i run rtorrent, because its very linux-adapted
[23:45] <csilk> !cron
[23:45] <sybarite1> in a way
[23:45] <Uplink> MTecknology: how do i make conky stick to my left top side of my background?
[23:45] <MTecknology> chrisl: Pull out the drive you have Ubuntu on. Put the drive Vista is on at the end of the cable in your case. Boot to a Vista DVD. Do the recovery. Tell us if Vista boots.
[23:46] <BlueEagle> natalie: sounds like a temperature issue.
[23:46] <Rusty0918> OK can anyone be of assistance here to me?
[23:46] <Tr3y-> but now that I think of it that won't make sense either because your getting into ubuntu just fine right?
[23:46] <MTecknology> Uplink: You manage all conky configs in ~/.conkyrc
[23:46] <BlueEagle> natalie: are all your fans working as they should?
[23:46] <chrisl> ok
[23:46] <csilk> natalie, I had that problem, turns out my heatsink wasn't attached tight enough
[23:46] <mwhit74> sybarite1: rtorrent.... ill have to check it out, is it alot like utorrent, and do you know of a program like peerguardian for windows but something where i dont have to fiddle with the code
[23:47] <natalie> BlueEagle: Yes
[23:47] <MTecknology> Uplink: I don't have my conky config anymore else I'd give it to you
[23:47] <CelticLord> nuit!!
[23:47] <BlueEagle> natalie: Are, as csilk points out, all your heatsinks attatched correctly?
[23:47] <Rusty0918> Hey can anyone be of assistance here to me?
[23:47] <Uplink> MTecknology: oh man... can you help me get the basics?
[23:47] <BlueEagle> !anyone | Rusty0918
[23:47] <Rusty0918> Sorry
[23:47] <recon69> ﻿M3RLIN1: try ##c++newbie channel, if anyone there they much more helpful.
[23:47] <Rusty0918> OK
[23:48] <csilk> BlueEagle,  you could of asked me that same quesiton and I would of said yes, chances are it's something he/she thinks is ok but really isn't
[23:48] <natalie> BlueEagle, csilk: As far as I can tell, they appear to be.  It doesn't come off easily, nor have I tried to remove it.

[23:48] <jrib> gravemindirssi: here is what I came up with for -backports: apt-get install $(for package in $(aptitude -F '%p' search '~Aintrepid-backports~i'); do echo -n ${package}'/intrepid ' ; done)            Unfortunately, I now see a mistake.  Namely that it won't install from intrepid-updates or intrepid-security if they exist.  I guess it might work but you need to run an upgrade afterwards.  Give me some minutes
[23:48] <csilk> natalie, how long can you stay booted before it freezes?
[23:48] <BlueEagle> natalie: You have, however checked that bothe your psu-, gpu- and cpu-fans are working as they should?
[23:48] <sybarite1> mwhit74: no i honestly wouldnt say its like uTorrent, rtorrent is very much built to be run command-line... and on a server... a headless box

[23:49] <mib> i tried sudo apt-get install javac but cant find the packagew
[23:49] <natalie> csilk, So long as I do nothing but let it sit, almost indefinitely.  It only does that if I do something on it
[23:49] <csilk> mib, javac isn't a package
[23:50] <BlueEagle> csilk: see also: man apt-get
[23:50] <clayX> BlueEagle, no ? i assume
[23:50] <mwhit74> sybarite1: ok prolly not what i am looking for then i just dont have time to learn the code
[23:50] <mib> hm.then how could i install.
[23:50] <MTecknology> Uplink: lol - those samples are enough to make me start using conky again
[23:50] <natalie> csilk, okay, I will try that.
[23:50] <backenfutter> I have a weird problem: I've just installed postfix+dovecot but now neither /var/run/dovecot/auth-master nor /var/spool/postfix/private/auth - aren#t they supposed to be there?
[23:50] <csilk> BlueEagle, man apt-get < meant for someone else I think
[23:50] <Rusty0918> I'm having a problem installing Ubuntu Sever 8.10
[23:50] <Rusty0918> Off a CD-R
[23:50] <Uplink> MTecknology: looks good huh!? lol!
[23:50] <iulia> apt cache search javac
[23:50] <BlueEagle> csilk: it was. Happy tab-complete-day
[23:50] <BlueEagle> :)
[23:50] <mib> javac --ver
[23:50] <mib> The program 'javac' can be found in the following packages
[23:50] <csilk> hehe
[23:50] <BlueEagle> clayX: man apt-get
[23:50] <sybarite1> mwhit74: and as for peerguardian, i have never used that under windows, real men take their copyright related fines and legal fees without a tear
[23:50] <MTecknology> Uplink: conkey-vert is pretty close to what I had before
[23:50] <natalie> BlueEagle, yes they appear to be working properly.
[23:50] <csilk> mib, what you trying to do?
[23:50] <Uplink> conkey-vert?
[23:51] <mib> im trying to compile java code
[23:51] <mib> by using javac *.java but it cant compile.
[23:51] <csilk> mib,  do you have the JDK installed?
[23:51] <hololight> Rusty0918: What is your problem?
[23:51] <gravemindirssi> Rusty0918: do you know how to checksum? See if you have a good cd
[23:51] <MTecknology> Uplink: http://conky.sourceforge.net/conky-vert.png
[23:51] <Rusty0918> I did the md5 checksum on the CD
[23:51] <mib> as far i recalled, it is because when i query man java.the page is displayed
[23:51] <Rusty0918> the CD image
[23:51] <Uplink> MTecknology: what about if i want it like that but plain white all the letters?
[23:51] <Rusty0918> The hashes matched
[23:52] <LoveTruth> hello sinners
[23:52] <MTecknology> Uplink: look at the config file
[23:52] <csilk> mib,  do you have the JDK installed?
[23:52] <mib> how to check anyway?
[23:52] <hololight> Rusty0918: okay, so what was the problem?
[23:52] <gravemindirssi> Rusty0918: hmm well if you're having problems with the cdr it may not have burned properly. Did you burn it with something that verifies afterwards?
[23:52] <Uplink> MTecknology: thats a BIG config lol
[23:52] <Rusty0918> I did gravemindirissi
[23:52] <jrib> gravemindirssi: ah.  I think I see a decent solution.  You might be able to just use /intrepid-security, then /intrepid-updates, then /intrepid and get everything after three runs.  Does that make sense?
[23:52] <mib> java version "1.4.2-02"
[23:52] <mib> Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build Blackdown-1.4.2-02)
[23:52] <mib> Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build Blackdown-1.4.2-02, mixed mode)
[23:52] <MTecknology> Uplink: imagine being the one that made it
[23:52] <Rusty0918> I had it verify the disk afterward
[23:52] <BlueEagle> natalie: Very good. Please try looking in /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/ and see if  you have any files there that contains information about your cpus core temerature.
[23:52] <csilk> mib,  sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk (assuming you want v6)
[23:53] <LoveTruth> mib, hello sinners
[23:53] <Uplink> MTecknology: lol i feel you
[23:53] <mib_0iyhyh> heya!
[23:53] <MTecknology> Uplink: it's well commented though
[23:53] <gravemindirssi> jrib: yeah, I can do that
[23:53] <Rusty0918> gravemindirssi: Yeah, I burn it with NERO Burning ROM, and I have the thing verify the disc after its burned.
[23:53] <Uplink> MTecknology: forked to the background right?
[23:53] <MTecknology> Uplink: almost all of that is comments
[23:53] <mib> so JDK and Java JRE are different thing?
[23:53] <gravemindirssi> Rusty0918: how old is the computer you are installing on?
[23:53] <Rusty0918> I even do a CD integrity check when it boots from the CD and there aren't any problems (though I am getting some odd usb detection errors)
[23:53] <MTecknology> Uplink: ya - i think it does
[23:53] <sharperguy> is there a way i can set my keyboard layout preferences to system default?
[23:53] <Uplink> MTecknology: yea i see.. but i dont know what forked to the bg means
[23:53] <Flannel> mib: Java Development Kit, and Java Runtime Environment
[23:53] <Rusty0918> Well it's an Intel Core 2 Quad
[23:54] <jrib> gravemindirssi: I should warn you that downgrading isn't supported by the way
[23:54] <csilk> mib, yes the JRE runs java apps and the JDK allow developement of java apps
[23:54] <Rusty0918> 2 GB of RAM
[23:54] <MTecknology> Uplink: where do you see that?
[23:54] <mib> yeah. i thought its related..hehe.sorry beeing noob
[23:54] <csilk> no worries
[23:54] <Uplink> on the beginning of the conf file
[23:54] <gravemindirssi> Rusty0918: well cd drive problems would be odd then... I don't know -- maybe someone else can help
[23:54] <Rusty0918> I've installed the desktop version and it works fine. But I need the server version, and it doesn't install
[23:54] <rmn> i installed more ram in my (ubuntu) home-server, and now i can't access my backup-drives. (pci-e sata-controller). lspci lists the device. wtf?
[23:55] <clayX> i run apt-get install nspluginwrapper flashplugin-nonfree, it says flash installed, but it didn't
[23:55] <gravemindirssi> jrib: I stand warned. What type of problems should I expect
[23:55] <rblst> i cannot play my original DVDs in Hardy, how can i resolve this?
[23:55] <Rusty0918> I'm trying to run a website from my machine, so I need the server version to do that. But it's not working.
[23:55] <Uplink> MTecknology: where do i put the config?
[23:55] <erUSUL> clayX: put about:plugins  in the address bar of firefox
[23:55] <Rusty0918> AS well as other necessities
[23:55] <jrib> gravemindirssi: I haven't seen any to be honest.  Just make sure you read what apt-get is about to do to make sure it doesn't want to do something stupid
[23:55] <erUSUL> clayX: does it list flash?
[23:56] <MTecknology> Uplink: ~/.conkyrc
[23:56] <clayX> says no plugins are installed
[23:56] <erUSUL> rmn: manually loading the driver does not help?
[23:56] <natalie> csilk, are you still here?
[23:56] <erUSUL> !dvd | rblst
[23:56] <mohbana_> has anyone getting problems with a working mic on skype?
[23:57] <Uplink> MTecknology: how can i download the config directly to my ~/ with a command?
[23:57] <MTecknology> Uplink: man wget
[23:57] <Uplink> MTecknology: wget! ty
[23:57] <Uplink> i remember now :d
[23:57] <clayX> erUSUL, says no plugins are installed
[23:57] <MTecknology> :P
[23:57] <rmn> erUSUL, not something i am experienced with. how can i determine the correct name for the driver, and see if it is present?  i have never had problems with rebooting
[23:57] <rblst> thx
[23:57] <backenfutter> I have a weird problem: I've just installed postfix+dovecot but now neither /var/run/dovecot/auth-master nor /var/spool/postfix/private/auth exist - aren't they supposed to be there?
[23:57] <erUSUL> rmn: what is the lspci line of the sata card?
[23:57] <rmn> erUSUL, mobo also has SATA, so if it's a generic driver it doesn't quite work
[23:57] <Rusty0918> gravemidirssi: I've downloaded a second image after the first attempt failed and burned it onto a CD. I checked the ISO image md5 stuff to see if they matched and they did prior to burning it onto a CD.
[23:58] <rmn> erUSUL,  03:00.0 RAID bus controller: Silicon Image, Inc. SiI 3132 Serial ATA Raid II Controller (rev 01)
[23:58] <Rusty0918> gravemidirssi: I also had it check the CD from one of the menu options that occurs before boot.
[23:58] <jrib> gravemindirssi: the command requires you to still have -proposed enabled by the way
[23:58] <skorasaurus> hi, my entire screen became non responsive, so i had to do a manual, hard reboot.
[23:58] <skorasaurus> is there a way to figure out what happened ?
[23:58] <Uplink> MTecknology: hmm... how can i wget it to ~/.conkyrc ?
[23:58] <skorasaurus> which logs should I look into, specifically ?
[23:59] <Rusty0918> gravemidirssi: The CD checked out just fine. But in the base install sequence, it's giving me that Please insert the disc labeled: 'Ubuntu-Server 8.10 -Intrepid Ibex8 Release i386 (20081028.1)' and press enter. error
[23:59] <MTecknology> Uplink: just vim ~/.conkyrc and copy paste
[23:59] <erUSUL> rmn: driver is sata_sil24 run « lsmod | grep sata_sil » does it output something ?
[23:59] <hololight> Rusty0918: sata drive cd drive?
[23:59] <vlt> Hello. Any idea how to convert a flash video .flv into another format (mpg for example)?
[23:59] <erUSUL> vlt: use ffmpeg
