[00:00] <donnie__> Supari: exactly.
[00:00] <Non-Orthodox> erUSUL: just one more thing
[00:00] <Non-Orthodox> how do I fix this problem?
[00:00] <Non-Orthodox> linux-rtl8187se-modules depends on linux-generic (>= 2.6.27.8.12); however:
[00:00] <Non-Orthodox>   Version of linux-generic on system is 2.6.27.7.11.
[00:00] <Non-Orthodox> I cannot isntall the .deb file because of that
[00:00] <FloodBot1> Non-Orthodox: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[00:00] <Non-Orthodox> it is the driver for my wireless card....
[00:00] <jfreekao> Hey does anyone know how I get gstreamer0.10-xvid?
[00:00] <jfreekao> for some reason it's not listed in Synaptic.
[00:00] <Non-Orthodox> sorry, it was just 2 lines, didnt think it would be considered as flood....
[00:00] <leitao> How I do not automatically load a module during the boot ? I.e. I don't want to load psmouse on ubuntu 8.10, since I don't use PS/2 on this machine.
[00:01] <Supari> one more question.. when i copy things from drive to an external gnome tells me its done however after i remove the drive and plug it into a diff comp the files are half copied or have error
[00:01] <LF|Irssi> its not the lines really its how fast you type those lines out
[00:01] <donnie__> jfreekao: im pretty sure google can tell you within a second or two
[00:01] <erUSUL> Non-Orthodox: where did you get the linux-rtl8187se-modules ???
[00:01] <Non-Orthodox> http://boskastrona.ovh.org/index_en.html
[00:01] <tyrchyus> goodnight ;)
[00:01] <Jordan_U> Non-Orthodox: What did you do that caused you to get that error?
[00:01] <jfreekao> I tried... A bunch of sites came up, but none say anything about downloading it.
[00:01] <donnie__> Supari: on external devices sometimes it will update the "index" or the structure only when unmounting.. do you umount correctly or simply unplug the external drive?
[00:01] <vEyem> hello, after I upgraded to 8.04 several month ago,I screen resolution is incorrect.The picture doesn't reach the edges of my monitor (CRT btw).
[00:01] <Supari> yes i unmount correctly
[00:02] <Non-Orthodox> ah, sudo dpkg -i linux-rtl8187se-modules-*.deb in the folder with the downloaded files
[00:02] <tyrchyus> are there anyone that use ubuntu 8.04 with gnome? i have to see one things.. 30 second
[00:02]  * donnie__ is apparently the only one on this planet who prefers kde over gnome
[00:02] <Jordan_U> Non-Orthodox: "linux-rtl8187se-modules" is not an official package
[00:02] <Non-Orthodox> i know... but it is the fully working driver for rtl8187 out there
[00:02] <Dedi> i deleted a part of dev, how can i restore it? :)
[00:03] <jfreekao> Well, does anyone know how to watch Divx webplayer videos on Intrepid?
[00:03] <donnie__> Supari: try with another external device just to make sure its not your actual drive... if same result I really don't know =/ sorry
[00:03] <Non-Orthodox> the only one, I mean... that is fully working
[00:03] <Jordan_U> Non-Orthodox: Where did you get this driver? Wherever you got it from you need to get the latest version
[00:03] <donnie__> Supari: again I'm not the best expertise in here
[00:03] <erUSUL> Non-Orthodox: the kernel version it requires is only aviable to betatesters in proposed
[00:03] <Supari> its cool
[00:03] <Supari> it happens to all drives
[00:03] <donnie__> :)
[00:03] <erUSUL> !realtek | Non-Orthodox
[00:03] <Supari> brb gonna test out this envy
[00:03] <Non-Orthodox> that is exactly the latest version...
[00:03] <erUSUL> Non-Orthodox: see the page ubottu gave
[00:04] <Jordan_U> Non-Orthodox: Where did you get the .deb from?
[00:04] <donnie__> Supari: ubuntuforums.com probably has something on this... when you think you have a dumb problem... at least 200 users had it before you ;)
[00:04] <Non-Orthodox> thanks erUSUL, I gonna try that one again.
[00:04] <Supari> yeah
[00:04] <Non-Orthodox> Jordan_U: here: http://boskastrona.ovh.org/index_en.html
[00:04] <blinkn1> finally xfi sound card works in ubuntu !!!
[00:04] <sharperguy> aoupi, argh, forgot to backup my emails.... (not your fault though)

[00:05] <l_r> hello
[00:06] <temoto-mobi> Hello. Why don't i have a /dev/usb/lp0 device on intrepid?
[00:06] <aoupi> pieter__: you need to create the directory you mount it to
[00:06] <jfreekao> Can anyone tell me how I watch Divx Webplayer encoded videos? I'm using Intrepid, if that helps.
[00:06] <temoto-mobi> printer is connected and recognized by hplip
[00:07] <l_r> is there a live version of ubuntu for usb? (I am not asking about installing ubuntu from a cd to usb)
[00:07] <jfreekao> Can anyone tell me how I watch Divx Webplayer encoded videos? I'm using Intrepid, if that helps.
[00:07] <jfreekao> Can anyone tell me how I watch Divx Webplayer encoded videos? I'm using Intrepid, if that helps.
[00:07] <pieter__> aoupi: how do I do that? Will /media/newdisk by sufficient?
[00:08] <aoupi> pieter__: yup you can call it anything you want
[00:08] <Shadoukun> I want to use skype on Ubuntu which works really well, but I uncovered a problem. My mic loops, and I have no way to make it stop. When I try to mute "Microphone" in Playback it mutes in Recording too. How do I make the looping stop?
[00:08] <Jordan_U> Non-Orthodox: The author of that page apparently needs to make a new .deb ( or what he should really do is set up an automatic PPA )
[00:08] <Guest13541> good evening. i am running ubuntu 8-4 inside windows.WHEN windows fails will i still be able to boot to ubuntu??
[00:08] <jfreekao> Can anyone tell me how I watch Divx Webplayer encoded videos? I'm using Intrepid, if that helps.
[00:09] <Non-Orthodox_> back...
[00:09] <Jordan_U> Non-Orthodox: You can compile the driver yourself if you really need it now
[00:09] <Non-Orthodox_> stupid connection...
[00:09] <Jakoo> jfreekao try this  sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[00:09] <syslq> I tried to install ubuntu 8.10 and I got sr0 I/O error, I reburned cd and passwed verification but same prompt, I have installed same version of ubuntu at work and it worked fine. DVD RW I have works nice under windows. Thanks
[00:09] <jfreekao> uh, but that only installs restricted drivers, doesn't it?
[00:09] <FistMaker> I have installed firestarter, but I cant get it to reconginze my other laptop or 360. I've been able to choose between eth1 and pan0, but neither work
[00:10] <jfreekao> I don't want to screw anything up
[00:10] <Jakoo> it does any restricted extra
[00:10] <newbsd70> firestarter
[00:10] <pieter__> oops, just opened a file manager and saw it is actually properly mounted now. sorry for wasting your time. thanks a lot for your support!
[00:10] <Shadoukun> No one? :(
[00:10] <aoupi> FistMaker: what do you want to do?
[00:10] <newbsd70> whats firestarter?
[00:10] <Non-Orthodox_> Jordan_U: I know... the thing is that I can't... here is the driver I know that works, but I cannot compile: http://forums.msiwind.net/default-msiwind/have-the-wireless-drivers-but-t840.html
[00:10] <Jakoo> jfreekao no you wont do that
[00:10] <aoupi> newbsd70: iptables frontend, easy to set up routing etc
[00:10] <newbsd70> i wish someone hereknows bsd
[00:10] <jfreekao> But I don't have any restricted drivers that list gstreamer0.10-xvid.
[00:10] <newbsd70> i see aoupi
[00:10] <FistMaker> share internet to my laptop with Xubuntu and my Xbox 360
[00:10] <jfreekao> at least, not ones that are listed
[00:10] <newbsd70> thanks aoupi
[00:11] <Jakoo> thats not drivers add
[00:11] <Non-Orthodox_> Jordan_U: check Grackle post...
[00:11] <Non-Orthodox_> Grackle's post
[00:11] <newbsd70> i curious can we run bsd from flash drive
[00:11] <aoupi> FistMaker: ok, and how are you connected to the xbox?
[00:11] <newbsd70> or install bsd on flashdrive
[00:11] <Jordan_U> Non-Orthodox_: Do you not know how to compile it or are you getting an error?
[00:11] <erUSUL> newbsd70: wrong chat room
[00:11] <newbsd70> yeahiknowsorryususl
[00:11] <aoupi> FistMaker: and how are you connected to the internet
[00:11] <FistMaker> PC with internet connection to 4 port hub, to Xbox
[00:11] <Jakoo> jfreekao you will be able to read anything
[00:11] <hitmanWilly> newbsd70, don't see why not...
[00:11] <Non-Orthodox_> my problem is that I do compile and all, but the only problem is that the driver doesnt load
[00:11] <newbsd70> exit
[00:11] <aoupi> FistMaker: ok, what interface points to internet and which to the LAN?
[00:12] <Non-Orthodox_> meaning, ndiswrapper remains the driver instead of the new one
[00:12] <Jordan_U> Non-Orthodox_: uninstall ndiswrapper
[00:12] <FistMaker> eth0 is my Internet, so I'm guessing eth1 is my local
[00:13] <cappicard> hello. skype is not listing my webcam, but yet other apps can see it just fine.
[00:13] <aoupi> FistMaker: yea, and you've set it up like that in firestarter? also check DHCP and internet sharing
[00:13] <cappicard> i'm on x64 intrepid
[00:13] <FistMaker> checked DHCP and restarted
[00:13] <FistMaker> but no dice
[00:13] <FistMaker> says eth1 not ready
[00:13] <aoupi> FistMaker: ifup eth1
[00:14] <FistMaker> ?
[00:14] <duallain> Is there a clean way to cancel a apt-get install?
[00:14] <aoupi> FistMaker: you must configure eth1, give it ip number like 192.168.0.1
[00:14] <Jordan_U> duallain: Have the packages finished downloading?
[00:14] <FistMaker> how do I configure eth1?
[00:15] <Brucee> FistMaker : how manu connections you have?
[00:15] <duallain> No, it redirected me to buy the packages which I don't want to do.
[00:15] <FistMaker> just eth0 and 1
[00:15] <aoupi> FistMaker: I'm going to bed now, but I'm sure you'll find help, good luck :)
[00:15] <luddite> can you have two sessions on intrepid? 1- powerhungry gnome with tons of services and 2. power efficient KFCE with no wifi or services?
[00:15] <aoupi> luddite: gdmflexiserver
[00:16] <Brucee> FistMaker : type 'ifconfig' and see the lo ?
[00:16] <Non-Orthodox__> stupid eletricity blinking...
[00:16] <Jordan_U> luddite: It's certainly possible but you'd have to get your hands dirty
[00:16] <jfreekao> done, but it didn't list gstreamer0.10-xvid
[00:16] <Non-Orthodox__> Jordan_U: sorry, connection dropped due to instability in eletric power...
[00:16] <Firefishe> I'm having sound card and wireless problems.  Here's my lspci output: http://rafb.net/p/Y9fsAL17.html
[00:17] <Non-Orthodox__> as I said, the compiled driver doesnt replace ndswrapper's driver...
[00:17] <Jordan_U> Non-Orthodox_: uninstall ndiswrapper
[00:17] <dee> many people
[00:17] <Non-Orthodox__> and if I remove ndiswrapper before, wlan0 disappears...
[00:18] <FistMaker> i see lo, what am I looking for?
[00:19] <Non-Orthodox__> Jordan_U: but then how can I ifconfig wlan0 up, if wlan0 doesnt appear as a device??
[00:19] <FistMaker> my loopback is set to the standard 127.0.0.1, says up and running
[00:20] <UnderWraps_> hi, I'm trying to install 8.04 but it doesn't detect one of my hard drives, I suspect it is a problem with the mainboard. It is an Asrock 775Dual-vsta. I have 3 drives attached - DVD, PATA & SATA - the installer doesn't detect the PATA drive. Any ideas?
[00:20] <Jordan_U> Non-Orthodox__: Have you tried removing ndiswrapper, rebooting, then loading the native drivers?
[00:20] <Elda> Well... 8.10 is the latest version; I do not know much but I'd say try this one? :>
[00:21] <FistMaker> is there something i have to set up for DHCP for firestarter to work?
[00:21] <Non-Orthodox__> I couldnt load the native drivers...
[00:21] <Non-Orthodox__> not sure how to
[00:21] <Non-Orthodox__> but I tryed rebooting after removing ndiswrapper
[00:22] <laoer> :)
[00:22] <dang`r`us> hello
[00:22] <TehJens> Hey you guys! I want to make a PHP-script that uses FFmpeg to convert avi-files to mp4 and moves them to a spesific folder, and then deletes the original. Any comments on that plan?
[00:22] <Jordan_U> Non-Orthodox__: You follow the directions in the readme and run ./wlan0up
[00:22] <dang`r`us> can't upgrade to 8.10 server:
[00:22] <dang`r`us> Failed to fetch http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/h/hplip/hpijs_2.7.7+2.7.7.dfsg.1-0ubuntu5.1_i386.deb Size mismatch
[00:22] <Non-Orthodox__> Jordan_U: yes, I did...
[00:23] <Jordan_U> Non-Orthodox__: Does it give any errors?
[00:23] <Non-Orthodox__> Jordan_U: nope... the only problem is that ndiswrapper remains there...
[00:24] <Jordan_U> Non-Orthodox__: How can ndiswrapper remain there if it's not installed?
[00:24] <faryshta> Is there a way to de-activate Emerald on Compiz?
[00:24] <Non-Orthodox__> ah, you mean after uninstalling it...
[00:24] <vEyem_> I did fresh install of 8.04 several months ago, and since the my display looks incorrect.It only when I have the resolution set to 1024x768 @ 60hz does the picture span from one edge to the other.But been at only 60hz it appears rather flickery.
[00:24] <shafi> Hi guys: how to slove Problem with Audio Playback for skype in ubuntu 8.10?
[00:24] <Non-Orthodox__> well, then it gives me the error that there is no wlan0 device, when I try ./wlan0up
[00:24] <Jordan_U> Non-Orthodox__: Have you tried removing ndiswrapper, rebooting, then loading the native drivers?
[00:25] <Non-Orthodox__> Jordan_U: I tryed removinf ndiswrapper, rebooting... not sure ho to load the native drivers...
[00:25] <Non-Orthodox__> how*
[00:25] <Non-Orthodox__> removing*
[00:26] <Uplink> can someone help me with conky?
[00:26] <ishiX1939> hmmm.
[00:26] <Jordan_U> Non-Orthodox__: cd to the folder with the drivers, run "./makedrv" then "./wlan0up"
[00:26] <Non-Orthodox__> ok
[00:26] <vEyem_> Uplink:What about?
[00:26] <Uplink> vEyem: my conky hides my desktop shorcuts :(
[00:27] <luddite> aoupi : thats gnome only and is a guest account whilst logged in. opintless for the task at hand.
[00:27] <luddite> jordan_U : mmm -any ideas? or is it just gonna be better to create a new user account and turn off all the crap i dont need?
[00:27] <Gazali>  while installing debianxfce, i didnot formatted the old home partition of xubuntu, now is there a way to get rid of the configuration left from xubuntu?
[00:27] <Non-Orthodox__> done
[00:28] <Ikyn_> Thanks binmonkey
[00:28] <vEyem_> Uplink: are the invisible or are you unable to interact with them?
[00:28] <Non-Orthodox__> but ndiswrapper remains there... according to airdriver-ng
[00:28] <Jordan_U> luddite: Well you can install XFCE and have it will be available as an option in sessions, then you can make a script that runs at XFCE startup that disables wireless
[00:29] <Uplink> vEyem: ok the update interval is 2 seconds on my conky... it hides them, and when i hover over my icons with my cursor they appear until my conky updates, then they disappear again
[00:30] <Ikyn_> So I downloaded and installed the linux drivers for the ATI card in my laptop. Once I restarted and rebooted, it's having problems, and when I try to start in low-res mode, it never actually gets to the desktop. Is there anyone that can tell me how I reverse the process?
[00:30] <Non-Orthodox__> Jordan_U: not only in airdriver-ng loaded shows that ndiswrapper is the only loaded driver, as I cannot enter master mode from any wireless manager or iwconfig, which gives me the error that it isnt possible (not supported), while the driver I am trying to install supports it...
[00:31] <ellipsis> hey, my wireless card is showing up as disabled in lshw
[00:31] <ellipsis> how can I turn it on?
[00:31] <Jordan_U> Non-Orthodox__: Have you tried removing ndiswrapper, rebooting, then loading the native drivers?
[00:32] <Non-Orthodox__> Jordan_U: I tell you again... I dont know how to load native drivers... if it is done automaticaly during reboot, then yes... and it failed
[00:33] <ellipsis> any idea how can I turn on a wireless card in Ubuntu?
[00:33] <ellipsis> normally I'd use Fn+F2 in windows
[00:33] <ellipsis> but obviously that's not working here
[00:33] <ldiamond> ellipsis, its the same in Ubuntu, this is a Hardware switch
[00:33] <Jordan_U> Non-Orthodox__: It is not done automatically on boot unless you run the install script, like I said before, to load the native drivers: cd to the folder with the drivers, run "./makedrv" then "./wlan0up"
[00:33] <ellipsis> it's a fresh install of 8.10
[00:33] <ellipsis> it's not working for me ldiamond
[00:33] <Non-Orthodox__> ah, ok
[00:33] <Non-Orthodox__> well, gonna try it...
[00:33] <Non-Orthodox__> brb, rebooting...
[00:33] <infinity2> where is the kerenl config file in the ubuntu packages? i extracted them and i cant find it. i checked the diff and the binary.
[00:33] <ellipsis> I tried setting the keyboard layout to Dell Inspiron
[00:34] <ldiamond> ellipsis is your wireless even detected?
[00:34] <Non-Orthodox__> thanks Jordan_U...
[00:34] <Non-Orthodox__> brb
[00:34] <Jordan_U> Non-Orthodox__: Make that "sudo ./wlan0up"
[00:34] <vEyem_> Uplink: hmm.It has been a while since I had conky installed,It was to buggy and would hog the cpu when users were switch.But I do remember Its poor refreshing scheme.I hope the implement real alpa blending in the future.Anyhow How large of area is this occupying? Can you just move it to an unused portion of the Desktop?
[00:34] <ellipsis> the wireless card doesn't show up in lspci
[00:34] <ellipsis> I mean it does
[00:34] <ellipsis> but in lshw
[00:34] <ldiamond> if ifconfig?
[00:34] <ellipsis> it shows up as disabled
[00:34] <ldiamond> in*
[00:34] <ellipsis> yeah it doesn't show up in ifconfig
[00:34] <Uplink> vEyem_: yes it is freaking buggy...
[00:34] <ellipsis> only my ethernet card shows up
[00:34] <ldiamond> In my case, I'm using WICD so I dont know
[00:35] <ldiamond> check /etc/network/interfaces
[00:35] <ldiamond> You'll need those: #auto wlan0
[00:35] <ldiamond> allow-hotplug wlan0
[00:35] <ldiamond> iface wlan0 inet dhcp
[00:36] <ellipsis> this is all I have
[00:36] <ellipsis> auto lo
[00:36] <ellipsis> iface lo inet loopback
[00:36] <ldiamond> for the Network Manager part, I have no Idea because I'm not using it.
[00:36] <ldiamond> thats your problem.
[00:36] <ellipsis> should I add those lines in?
[00:36] <vEyem_> Uplink:Even if conky didn't hide the icons you still wouln't be able to click-on them,correct?
[00:36] <ldiamond> yes
[00:37] <FistMaker> Having problems with firestarter and configureing eth1
[00:37] <Uplink> vEyem_: i AM able to click on them
[00:37] <Ikyn_> So I downloaded and installed the linux drivers for the ATI card in my laptop. Once I restarted and rebooted, it's having problems, and when I try to start in low-res mode, it never actually gets to the desktop. Is there anyone that can tell me how I reverse the process?
[00:37] <ellipsis> and I'm assuming I have to restart after that
[00:37] <greg_> hi guys anyone able to help me set up a VPN - was easy enough to set up on vista to allow me to access network shares over PPTP connection.  With ibex i'm left baffled

[00:38] <ldiamond> ellipsis, well, I dont know exactly how to restart only the appropriate modules, so I'd reboot yea
[00:38] <vEyem_> Uplink:I see, It has been a while since I've had it installed.

[00:42] <vEyem_> FistMaker: I'm sure it is possible.After all my linksys router runs linux.But I don't have a 360 so I can't be very specific.

[00:43] <Failtacular> when I boot from the Ubuntu disc, 3D programs run fine, but when I run the installed version, they don't even open.
[00:43] <faryshta> ok, this will be the weirdest and dumbest question I have asked on my life. Where it he option to change the number of Desktops on XFCE?
[00:43] <remu> Hey guys, is it normal to have "do_poll" showing for almost every entry in System Monitor, under the Processes tab, and the waiting channel list?
[00:43] <FistMaker> my guess is I need to configure something for Ubuntu to share it properly
[00:43] <emorris> FistMaker: it's definitely eth1 you want?
[00:43] <FistMaker> eth0 is my internet
[00:43] <FistMaker> so eth1 is my local right?
[00:44] <Failtacular> Anyone?
[00:44] <emorris> FistMaker: you need to change it to use eth0

[00:44] <Failtacular> does anyone care about my question?
[00:44] <vEyem_> FistMaker:You are using firestarter, right?
[00:44] <emorris> FistMaker: you can get the info from the ifconfig command
[00:44] <FistMaker> that is correct, I am using firestarter
[00:44] <Failtacular> HELLO?!?
[00:44] <vEyem_> Uplink: I am going do some research on conky first.
[00:44] <astronaute> my card : http://www.cnet.com.au/i/r/2004/Notebooks/Notebooks/creative_audigy_pcmcia_card_500x375.jpg
[00:44] <eross> Failtacular, what do you mean by the installed version
[00:44] <Uplink> vEyem_: alright dude, :]
[00:44] <Blunted88> im having issues with my repositories, im running xubuntu 8.04. what repositories should i have listed in synaptic
[00:45] <astronaute> if someone can help me install it it would be great :)
[00:45] <FistMaker> ok, I ran ifconfig
[00:45] <lookas> http://paste.ubuntu.com/74558/  please, help?
[00:45] <FistMaker> what am I looking for
[00:45] <emorris> FistMaker: look for the device which has a line starting inet addr
[00:45] <eross> Failtacular - do you need to enable your hardware driver? use restricted drivers?
[00:46] <vEyem_> FistMaker:Firestarter gives you an option for sharing an internet connection upon configuration ,correct?
[00:46] <Failtacular> Hello?
[00:46] <emorris> FistMaker: probably eth0 or eth1
[00:46] <FistMaker> yes, eth0 is my internet
[00:46] <emorris> !hi | Failtacular
[00:46] <Failtacular> ?
[00:46] <ellipsis> ldiamond
[00:46] <emorris> FistMaker: in that case you need to set firestarter to use eth0
[00:46] <ellipsis> erm
[00:46] <FistMaker> done
[00:46] <r2s> Does ZTE MF622 3G USB Modem Card works out of the box in Ubuntu 8.10 ???
[00:46] <ellipsis> I'm still seeing only one device in ifconfig
[00:47] <FistMaker> i've set it up with eth0 before
[00:47] <Blunted88> ﻿im having issues with my repositories, im running xubuntu 8.04. what repositories should i have listed in synaptic?
[00:47] <remu> Is this normal? http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=1zebeh1&s=4
[00:47] <lookas> http://paste.ubuntu.com/74558/ pleeease no one?
[00:47] <FistMaker> then when it states which Local Device to use should I choose eht0 or eth1?
[00:47] <Failtacular> Whenever I boot from the cd, 3D programs run just fine, but when I boot the installed version, they don't even open!
[00:47] <r2s> I've installed a fresh Ubuntu 8.10 and inserted the MF622 3G card but it seems that it's not detecting it... though in /var/log/messages it say's Storage Ignored
[00:47] <Failtacular> help!
[00:47] <emorris> FistMaker: set both internet and local to eth0
[00:48] <FistMaker> got an error
[00:48] <astronaute> any PCMCIA gurus here for my audigy problem please ?:)
[00:48] <Failtacular> AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRGH!!!!!!!!
[00:48] <emorris> FistMaker: ?
[00:48] <FistMaker> The local area and the Internet connected devices can not be the same
[00:48] <emorris> !patience | Failtacular
[00:48] <Failtacular> Is anyone at all LISTENING?!
[00:49] <Failtacular> Yeah, well I was at least expecting a response.
[00:49] <emorris> Failtacular: check in system>administration>hardware drivers and make sure your graphics driver is checked
[00:49] <Failtacular> So I know I'm not being ignored
[00:49] <vEyem_> Failtacular: what programs are you talking about?
[00:50] <emorris> Failtacular: people will generally only answer if they know the answer to your problem round here. as you can see it is a busy channel
[00:50] <remu> Could someone look under System>Administration>System Monitor to take a look if their Processes tab looks similar to this? http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=1zebeh1&s=4
[00:50] <vEyem_> FistMaker:are talking about configuration on the linux box or the xbox?
[00:50] <FistMaker> linux box
[00:50] <Failtacular> Blender, 3D games
[00:50] <remu> Because if other peoples system monitors dont look like it, then I will go ahead and post in the forums.
[00:50] <FistMaker> my 360 is set for DHCP
[00:50] <Failtacular> And other things
[00:50] <FistMaker> automatic
[00:51] <emorris> FistMaker: and you have both the check boxes under that unchecked, right?
[00:51] <Blunted88> ﻿﻿im having issues with my repositories, im running xubuntu 8.04. what repositories should i have listed in synaptic?
[00:51] <vEyem_> FistMaker: aha that is an impotant piece of info.
[00:51] <Gazali> how do i get rid of the debian folder in xfce menu http://img136.imageshack.us/img136/8418/screenshotzk0.png
[00:51] <FistMaker> check boxes in what? firestarter?
[00:52] <vEyem_> FistMaker: when you configured firestarter did you specify dhcp?
[00:52] <FistMaker> yes
[00:52] <ellipsis> so I'm trying to get my wireless card working with Ubuntu 8.10
[00:52] <eighthour> what's the effects channel....???....
[00:52] <Failtacular> My administration list is shorter than normal, but I ran a search and still didn't find a "hardware Drivers" application.
[00:52] <ellipsis> it's showing up as DISABLED with lshw
[00:52] <ellipsis> and not showing up at all in ifconfig
[00:52] <ellipsis> any ideas on what I can do?
[00:53] <vEyem_> Failtacular:run blender in a terminal and take note of the output.
[00:53] <FistMaker> I have my eth0 to my Linux Box, my Linux Box to a Hub, and then the Hub to my 360
[00:53] <Failtacular> Very busy. I've never been in a chat room before, that's all.
[00:53] <exmachina> man i'm starting to miss apt-get
[00:53] <poont> Hi, I used synaptic package manager to install R-base and various R packages but i do not know how to load R because there is no shortcut option in my applications menu
[00:53] <exmachina> it's taking me forever to emerge gimp
[00:53] <exmachina> and i'm on -j4
[00:53] <Failtacular> What, do you not have it?
[00:53] <exmachina> =(
[00:54] <exmachina> i wonder if it's possible to get apt-get on gentoo
[00:54] <TOPSECRET> never been in a chat room?
[00:54] <emorris> Blunted88: check in software sources, in the 'ubuntu software' tab you should have everything ticked that you want. main for the main supported apps, universe for unsupported apps, restricted for hardware drivers, and multiverse for other restricted stuff (proprietory etc)
[00:54] <Failtacular> That's right.
[00:54] <eighthour> anyone know how to get atlantis to work in 8.10....???....
[00:54] <exmachina> eighthour, you need to open a stargate
[00:54] <vEyem_> FistMaker:I assume you have the xbox using your desktop's ip adress as its gateway?
[00:54] <exmachina> then go off to a parallel universe
[00:54] <Failtacular> I'm not even 18
[00:54] <snoopy_> haha
[00:55] <Failtacular> I still know a lot about Linux, though
[00:55] <eighthour> exmachine, i don't have all the symbols....
[00:55] <Failtacular> What's Linux Box?
[00:55] <FistMaker> it was set to Automatic, so I have no idea what the 360's i.p. is
[00:55] <Failtacular> An Emulator?
[00:56] <FistMaker> my guess is 192.168.0.1
[00:56] <emorris> Failtacular: try installing the package 'ubuntu-desktop'
[00:56] <FistMaker> that's the standard from my experience
[00:56] <Gnea> FistMaker: a 'linux box' is a term that refers to a computer with linux installed on it... like a 'windows box'
[00:56] <remu> Could someone please look under their System Monitor, under the Processes tab, and let me know if it is similar to my system? Heres a picture of what I have showing. http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=1zebeh1&s=4
[00:56] <Failtacular> I already have it. I tried reinstalling it yesterday, and it didn't work.
[00:56] <FistMaker> Gnea: that was Failtacular, I'm familiar with the term :)
[00:57] <emorris> remu: yep, that's fine
[00:57] <Gnea> FistMaker: er, yeah, sorry :)
[00:57] <FistMaker> np
[00:57] <Gnea> Failtacular: see what I just told FistMaker :)
[00:57] <vEyem_> FistMaker: no, I believe you must explicitly tell the xbox what to use as a gateway.
[00:57] <Gnea> long day
[00:57] <remu> emorris: hmm, alright, for some reason I thought it might be abnormal. Thanks.
[00:57] <FistMaker> what should I set it to?
[00:58] <emorris> remu: no, it just tells you what it's waiting for (ie. user input, time to pass, etc. etc.) nothing to worry about
[00:58] <vEyem_> the xbox's ip will be obtained from the desktop computer.
[00:58] <remu> oh okay
[00:58] <r2s> anyone knows how to make ZTE MF622 3G Modem work with Ubunt 8.10 ??
[00:58] <Failtacular> *Ahem*
[00:58] <trask> are there 1 or 2 commands i can fire to restart my sound system? every time i go to our national tv homepage all sound stops working. thinking something like sudo killall -9 alsadeamon && alsadeamon
[00:58] <vEyem_> assuming your computer's ip address is 192.168.0.1,then use 192.168.0.1
[00:58] <Gnea> Failtacular: ?
[00:59] <Failtacular> What?
[00:59] <Gnea> Failtacular: why the *Ahem*?
[00:59] <remu> Also, does anyone here have experience with bluetooth mice and Ubuntu 8.10? I tried to get my bluetooth headset to work, which didn't work as planned, but I ordered a bluetooth mouse and am hoping that there arent as many problems with the bluetooth mice as there are with the headsets.
[00:59] <Failtacular> Eh, well, no one's listening to my problem anymore.
[00:59] <emorris> remu: should be ok
[01:00] <Gnea> Failtacular: what's the problem?
[01:00] <FistMaker> which address should I set my 360 to?
[01:00] <Netcowboy> hello again , how I can remove entery from iptable ???
[01:00] <raven> how  can i compare the speed of two browsers
[01:00] <FistMaker> inet address? Bcast?
[01:00] <Gnea> !iptables | Netcowboy
[01:00] <Gnea> Netcowboy: it's all explained at that url
[01:00] <Netcowboy> ok i'll check
[01:01] <deathwish> hey what up
[01:01] <deathwish> I can help with some questios
[01:01] <remu> emorris: Thanks for all of your help
[01:01] <remu> !sync
[01:01] <remu> !rsync
[01:01] <emorris> remu: or http://www.ubuntugeek.com/howto-setup-bluetooth-keyboard-and-mouse-in-ubuntu.html if it doesn't work automatically
[01:01] <raven> lol
[01:01] <Gnea> !info rsync
[01:01] <Failtacular> *sigh* this is the third time i've had to repeat it. Whenever I boot from the Ubuntu disc (7.04) 3D programs work just fine, but when I use the installed version, it doesn't work. gotta go!
[01:01] <remu> Gnea: thanks
[01:02] <raven> !info wine
[01:02] <DiiPhantom> anyone can tell me what ftp server program in ubuntu is closest or better to serv-u?
[01:02] <emorris> Failtacular: did you look for a hardware driver?
[01:02] <remu> !info unison
[01:02] <vEyem_> FistMaker:if your desktop,serving as the gateway, is configured to use dhcp for all computers connecting to it then the xbox will have an ip address assinged to it automaticly.
[01:02] <Gnea> DiiPhantom: dunno serv-u, but proftpd and vsftpd tend to be the better options
[01:02] <zsquareplusc> you can also /msg the bot the play with it ;-)
[01:02] <DiiPhantom> thankx
[01:03] <nibbler_> DiiPhantom: but dont expect a gui like in serv-u
[01:03] <FistMaker> so should I leave the IP on the 360 to auto?
[01:03] <emorris> Failtacular: ??
[01:03] <DiiPhantom> lol, here is basically what i need: if someone uploads something, they will get credit
[01:03] <DiiPhantom> thats all
[01:03] <nibbler_> DiiPhantom: glftpd
[01:03] <vEyem_> Failtacular: try running the program in question from the command line and see what error msgs you get.
[01:03] <FistMaker> or should I set the I.P. to match what eth0's inet addr is?
[01:04] <Failtacular> I didn't find it when someone told me try it earlier.
[01:04] <DiiPhantom> glftpd?
[01:04] <nibbler_> DiiPhantom: the most flexible one, when its about credits :)
[01:04] <raven> i installed epiphany and it did not make an icon in my menu
[01:04] <raven> where can i make one
[01:04] <emorris> Failtacular: did you try installing ubuntu-desktop ?
[01:04] <DiiPhantom> glftpd its not in the synaptic
[01:04] <DiiPhantom> is it spelled right?
[01:05] <emorris> Failtacular: as in the package?
[01:05] <nibbler_> Gnea: i'll insist, no linux ftp program comes with gui package :)
[01:05] <Gnea> nibbler_: not by default ;)
[01:05] <Failtacular> Yes, I already have it. I tried reinstalling it yesterday, and it didn't work.
[01:05] <nibbler_> Gnea: still i learned something :)
[01:05] <binarymutant> is hardy still supported?
[01:05] <pwhipp> I've just restarted 8.10 and got a black screen following the latest updates. attempting to get in reconfigure gnome-system-tools reports libxml2.so.2 no such file or directory
[01:05] <zsquareplusc> binarymutant: sure
[01:05] <Failtacular> Why is your text red?
[01:05] <Gnea> nibbler_: unless you're blanketing client/server, in which case, there are a plethora of GUI ftp clients available
[01:06] <Gnea> nibbler_: yup :)
[01:06] <AzizLight> hi everybody
[01:06] <Failtacular> Sorry, i'm new.
[01:06] <nibbler_> DiiPhantom: its not that free, not open at least.... so maybe thke this otherone gnea suggested
[01:06] <LostInSpace> Hello all! I'm trying to install a 3rd-party app (IBM's Informix) that gives no response at all. Any idea what might cause that?
[01:06] <pwhipp> can anyone help?
[01:06] <AzizLight> how can I echo ! in bash?
[01:06] <nibbler_> Gnea: clients..... who talks about this??
[01:06] <DiiPhantom> brb
[01:06] <zsquareplusc> !ask | pwhipp
[01:06] <emorris> Failtacular: just to make sure, do this. open a terminal, and type the following commands:  sudo apt-get update   <enter>    sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop  <enter>   sudo apt-get -f install
[01:07] <vEyem_> FistMaker: tell you what, why dont try it using static ip addresses.Set your desktops eth1(assuming eth1 is the port that connects to the xbox,not the internet) to 192.168.0.1 and set the xbox ip to 192.168.0.2.Then configure the xbox to use 192.168.0.1 as its gateway.
[01:07] <clayX> i'm trying to remove nspluginwrapper so i can install a flash upgrade.  when i enter the command, i get http://paste.ubuntu.com/74565/
[01:07] <FistMaker> does it matter if there is a hub between eth0 and eth1?
[01:07] <Gnea> Failtacular: please, don't expect people to scrollback for your problem - you're going to need to re-iterate it if you want anyone to be able to help you that has the time
[01:07] <pwhipp> zsquareplusc: thanks - trying to restart 8.10 after update - reconfig of gnome-system-tools reports libxml2.so.2 is missing - any ideas?
[01:07] <vEyem_> FistMaker: I don't believe so.
[01:07] <NewFAQs> Hello Can someone please help me i kind of ruined my umm bottom bar?

[01:08] <BliND123> can you guys help someone with Xubuntu or do they have a channel?
[01:08] <Failtacular> How do you do that?
[01:08] <Gnea> NewFAQs: have you tried to undelete it?

[01:08] <Gazali> #xubuntu
[01:09] <biouser> BliND123, yes and yes
[01:09] <Gnea> !xubuntu
[01:09] <Failtacular> emorris: This?
[01:09] <raven> BliND123, they prob hav a channel (prob #xubuntu), but if u just translate any suggestions given, u cud probably ask for help here and pretend u use ubuntu
[01:09] <emorris> Failtacular: yep, that was red for me
[01:09] <Failtacular> oh.
[01:09] <Failtacular> what is it for?
[01:09] <Netcowboy> :/
[01:09] <nibsa1242> is there a program that I can use that will automatically span disks? I need to make an uncompressed copy of a 20GB directory to DVD, and its a hassle to manually pick out aprox 4.7GB sized chunks of files
[01:09] <NewFAQs> how do you undelete it?
[01:09] <Gazali> i have installed debian xfce. in the menu the is this debian folder id like to get rid of, how will i do this http://img136.imageshack.us/img136/8418/screenshotzk0.png
[01:09] <zsquareplusc> pwhipp: is libxml2 installed? i.e. does "dpkg -l libxml2" show a line starting with "ii"?
[01:10] <Gnea> NewFAQs: well, you mentioned something about dragging it to the recycle bin.. or was that a metaphor?
[01:10] <LostInSpace> Looking for help installing an app not available through apt-get...
[01:10] <pwhipp> zsquareplusc: yes it does
[01:10] <NewFAQs> no :( thats like what happened, i somehow deleted it
[01:10] <Failtacular> vEyem: what's that?
[01:10] <Gnea> okay.
[01:10] <emorris> Failtacular: so you know when someone wants you. please do it when replying to people, so it alerts them of a new message. especially in big channels like this
[01:11] <NewFAQs> and now windows wont dock to it anymore :( i added a new one to botton of screen
[01:11] <emorris> Failtacular: so have to tried my commands yet?
[01:11] <Gnea> NewFAQs: a new bar to the bottom of the screen?
[01:11] <bluebuntu> hey I want to see my windows shares over ubuntu 8.10 well the network shows up but the windows computers dont show up
[01:11] <Narcissus> Does anyone know of a cpu temperature monitor that I can install very very quickly
[01:11] <NewFAQs> yeah ubuntu has to task bars one at the top and bottom?
[01:11] <Netcowboy> sorry Gnea  but I didn' find something on that I'm a newbie I fllown a tutorial when I try "sudo route del 83.233.181.2 dev ppp0" I get "SIOCDELRT: No such process"
[01:11]  * Gnea doesn't assume to know specifically what you're talking about - be clear, concise and specific, or you will do nothing but cause frustration. 
[01:11] <NewFAQs> I deleted one at the bottom
[01:12] <Failtacular> emorris: Yeah, the sudo apt-get -f install, only gave me a list of packages that were no longer needed
[01:12] <node357> 8.10 installation is stuck on "scanning mirror"
[01:12] <NewFAQs> and i put it back, yet I want help getting WINDOWS to dock to it again please
[01:12] <nibsa1242> I need a program that will do this: allow me to tell it a directory, and it creates a dvd from the files, as the directory will take up 5-6 dvds, I need it to stop once a disk is full and then continue onto the next disk.
[01:12] <NewFAQs> :)
[01:12] <vEyem_> Failtacular:glxgears?It's a simple gl program that shows some spinning gears and is use as a simple test program.
[01:12] <zsquareplusc> pwhipp: hm "ls -l /usr/lib/libxml2.so.2" is also finding it?
[01:12] <Narcissus> NewFAQs, add Windows List to your bottom bar
[01:12] <Failtacular> vEyem_: What is that?
[01:12] <Gnea> Netcowboy: that's not iptables, that's using the route command - you need to look for something like:  sudo iptables -D something_or_other
[01:12] <Narcissus> NewFAQs, Right click on it, then Add to Panel...
[01:12] <emorris> Failtacular: ok, and 'hardware drivers' still isn't in your administration menu?
[01:12] <vEyem_> Failtacular: ^^^
[01:13] <nibbler_> Netcowboy: with -n or smth iptables -L lits rulenumbers, so you can -D by number...
[01:13] <Failtacular> emmoris: Oh, well my step-dad cut down my administration menu.
[01:13] <slinkeey> hello
[01:13] <vEyem_> bye all.
[01:13] <Netcowboy> :)
[01:13] <pwhipp> zsquareplusc: no it isn't
[01:13] <Gnea> NewFAQs: gotcha. :) let's take it one step at a time until it's fixed right, okay? have you been able to get the virtual desktop pager (the one that was in the bottom-right) back up?
[01:14] <NewFAQs> what do i right click on?
[01:14] <NewFAQs> wo that sounded dumb sorry
[01:14] <NewFAQs> :(
[01:14] <Gnea> s'alright.
[01:14] <NewFAQs> But what do i right click on?
[01:14] <slinkeey> I fresh installed 8.10 in place of 8.04 and my USB drives no longer automount....
[01:14] <nibbler_> ...that soudnd dumb
[01:14] <Gnea> the bottom menu bar - and then add-to-panel
[01:14] <node357> installing 8.10 stuck on "scanning the mirror"
[01:14] <slinkeey> Is this a known issue and I just need to wait it out?
[01:15] <NewFAQs> ug no?
[01:15] <NewFAQs> no GNea
[01:15] <Gnea> NewFAQs: no?
[01:15] <zerothis> will a Vontage V-Phone work with linux?
[01:15] <zsquareplusc> pwhipp: well it should be there when the packet is installed. at least it is here. maybe try an  apt-get install --reinstall libxml2
[01:15] <NewFAQs> but i have put a new trash can there
[01:15] <Gnea> ok
[01:15] <emorris> Failtacular: well get him to sort that out later. for now just run sudo jockey-gtk
[01:15] <pwhipp> zsquareplusc: am doing...
[01:16] <slinkeey> Is automounting of USB drives broke in 8.10?
[01:16] <Gnea> NewFAQs: try the add-to-panel thing again and look for the desktop pager
[01:16] <Failtacular> emmoris: brb. I gotta do something.
[01:16] <nibsa1242> I need a program that will do this: allow me to tell it a directory, and it creates a dvd from the files, as the directory will take up 5-6 dvds, I need it to stop once a disk is full tell me to put in a new disk, and then continue onto that disk.
[01:17] <FistMaker> Ok, now firestarter has found eth1
[01:17] <node357> it would be nice if you guys helped me for once...
[01:17] <FistMaker> but, my 360 fails DNS
[01:17] <node357> 8.10 stuck on "scanning the mirror"
[01:17] <slinkeey> People here have helped me...  that attitude might make them not want to help...
[01:17] <pwhipp> zsquareplusc: I'm trying a restart now...
[01:17] <emorris> Failtacular: i have to go soon, so please just run that in a terminal and enable your graphics driver. then log out and log in again. and my nick has only 1 m
[01:17] <NewFAQs> OK Gnea,
[01:18] <Gnea> node357: please can the attitude... are you referring to the installation phase?
[01:18] <node357> i've been asking questions for months and nobody ever answers
[01:18] <NewFAQs> I have a "Desktop Switch" and a Trash Can in bottom right corner now
[01:18] <node357> yes Gnea I'm trying to install
[01:18] <Failtacular> emmoris: it'll take awhile.
[01:18] <zsquareplusc> !tab
[01:18] <Failtacular> "sudo: jockey-gtk: command not found"
[01:18] <Failtacular> emmoris: "sudo: jockey-gtk: command not found"
[01:18] <Gnea> node357: do you have the system hooked up to the internet?
[01:19] <NewFAQs> Wow that is hell annoying when i MINIMIZE the window it doesn't dock to the bottom bar :(
[01:19] <node357> Gnea: yes I do, network connection is running fine
[01:19] <Slayer> Hello
[01:19] <node357> I'm on the Live CD right now
[01:19] <Slayer> I need help with xubuntu
[01:19] <emorris> Failtacular: sudo apt-get install jockey-gtk               then         sudo jockey-gtk
[01:19] <node357> the installer is just sitting there on "scanning the mirror"
[01:19] <slinkeey> Does anyone else have problems with automounting usb drives in 8.10?
[01:20] <Gnea> NewFAQs: okay, please be patient, and don't go off like that again.  try the add-to-panel again and see if you can find the iconbox or something close to that
[01:20] <Slayer> Is it possible to mae Linux work ith XP hardware?
[01:20] <Slayer> It's a wireess card
[01:20] <Slayer> less*
[01:20] <Jordan_U> nibsa1242: Maybe not quite what you want but you can right click the directory in nautilus and go to create archive show "other options" and choose to have it split the archive into DVD sized chunks
[01:20] <Gnea> !wireless | Slayer
[01:20] <emorris> NewFAQs: add the window list applet to the bottom bar
[01:21] <Slayer> erm
[01:21] <Gnea> Slayer: check that site out, there's a good chance that your card could be listed there
[01:21] <Gnea> NewFAQs: er, yeah, what emorris said :)
[01:21] <pwhipp> zsquareplusc: I'm in! thanks! where's the donate button ;)
[01:21] <FistMaker> still there vEyem?
[01:21] <node357> i guess i'll try mandriva instead
[01:21] <slinkeey> Is it bad practice to repeat my question?
[01:21] <brad_> here's a stupid question for some people, can anyone give me some help with a lexmark printer?
[01:21] <Failtacular> emmoris: "E: Couldn't find package jockey-gtk"
[01:21] <nibsa1242> Jordan_U: so if its say a ~20GB directory with may sub directories, it'll give me like dir 1-x and each dir can be dvd sized?
[01:21] <NewFAQs> Gnea ok it's done added windows to the bar,
[01:22] <NewFAQs> Yet now the bar is far right >>>
[01:22] <NewFAQs> Thanks for your help also btw
[01:22] <clayX> i'm trying to remove nspluginwrapper so i can install a flash upgrade.  when i enter the command, i get http://paste.ubuntu.com/74565/
[01:22] <zsquareplusc> pwhipp: just donate knowledge if you know an answer to an others question here :-)
[01:22] <nastas> anyone knows how to make my Sony memory stick to work in my laptop? (built in card reader)
[01:22] <LF|Irssi> hhmmm mandriva is nice but do they have the community Ubuntu has? dont think so. stick with Ubuntu guys.
[01:22] <Gnea> NewFAQs: should be able to 'unkock' it and change it to take up the whole space again, then 'lock' it again by right-clicking directly on it
[01:22] <emorris> Failtacular: from software sources, make sure the 'main' source is checked
[01:22] <vEyem> FistMaker: yep
[01:22] <slinkeey> nastas I think automounting is broke it 8.10
[01:22] <nibsa1242> Jordan_U: now if only I had the "more options:
[01:23] <Gnea> NewFAQs: you're welcome.
[01:23] <Slayer> Er...
[01:23] <vEyem> how are you coming?
[01:23] <emorris> Failtacular: it doesn't make sense why you have all these missing essential packages
[01:23] <Slayer> is the list by model number or something?
[01:23] <nastas> slinkeey: i have to mount it manual?
[01:23] <uhsf> what's the font that pango uses to display missing characters from other fonts?
[01:23] <slinkeey> I would try that
[01:23] <Gnea> Slayer: yeah
[01:23] <slinkeey> nastas: I would try that
[01:23] <Jordan_U> nibsa1242: No, it will create an archive ( zip, tar.gz etc ) that will be split into multiple files, you will need all of the files in one place to decompress the full archive, so again, might not be exactly what you want
[01:23] <nastas> slinkeey: ok thnx
[01:23] <clayX> is tehre a 64bit chan
[01:23] <zsquareplusc> clayX: looks ok for me. there are probably plugins form other packages in there. so the folders are not removed. but the application you wanted to remove is
[01:23] <Failtacular> emmoris: What do you suggest? I know some packages can help this issue, but which ones?
[01:23] <kansan> is there a program (That is not klipper as it seems unstable) that remembers what you copy & paste so you can recall it later?  for ubuntu hardy?
[01:24] <Jordan_U> nibsa1242: Are you using Ubuntu 8.10 ?
[01:24] <clayX> thanks zsquareplusc
[01:24] <slinkeey> nastas:  Yes I would try manually mounting it..
[01:24] <dna_> is there a way to get x-fi working on ubuntu 8.10 64?
[01:24] <emorris> Failtacular: i suggested installing ubuntu-desktop, but did you do this?
[01:24] <slinkeey> nastas:  drives do not automount fo rme either in 8.10
[01:24] <nibsa1242> Jordan_U: yeah they need to be completely uncompressed, and I don't think I have enough free space to do that...
[01:24] <ntndo> anyone having problems with brazero saying there's insufficient space on a CD even when there's MORE than enough?
[01:24] <emorris> Failtacular: this depends on everything you need
[01:24] <Slayer> I don't see it
[01:24] <Gnea> Slayer: there's a link called "Wireless cards supported" did you find it?
[01:25] <Slayer> F5D8010
[01:25] <pwhipp> zsquareplusc: will do but I find the chat very confusing to follow
[01:25] <Slayer> yes
[01:25] <nibsa1242> Jordan_U: yeah, I'm running ibex, I just don't have to click on more options to see the options to archive something
[01:25] <ntndo> http://i38.tinypic.com/tanhqb.png  is how it looks before burning  http://i38.tinypic.com/258a554.png  is the error I get.
[01:25] <NewFAQs> Ok, so wy are the windows ALL spread out on the desk bar?
[01:25] <Slayer> I dun see 8010
[01:25] <Gnea> Slayer: who makes it?
[01:25] <Slayer> Belkin
[01:25] <arpi> Hi I installed  ubuntu 8.10 on my vaio laptop with wubi. everything is OK but DVD playback is jerky and I found no info on the net. has anyone got any idea to the cause of this?
[01:25] <kelledin> ok all, i have to ask: what is the extent of community support for Ubuntu on SPARC?
[01:25] <alpha232> for some reason my monitor shuts off while booting ubuntu...
[01:25] <Jordan_U> nibsa1242: I meant that the splitting option is only visible after showing more options
[01:26] <ZuLuuuuuu> hi, is there a way to see a password in terminal while i am entering it? Currently I cannot see any character while entering password.
[01:26] <NewFAQs> Gnea the windows are like :S in the middle of the bottom bar not on the left hand side like orginially :(
[01:26] <Gnea> NewFAQs: perhaps it's stretched too far
[01:26] <Gnea> NewFAQs: or not stretched far enough
[01:26] <emorris> Failtacular: ???
[01:26] <nibsa1242> Jordan_U: ahh ok
[01:26] <Slayer> Any help?
[01:26] <zsquareplusc> pwhipp: yeah, its busy at some times in here. it is the largest channel on the server :-).  some IRC clients use different colors for different nicks. but yeah, i miss some helpful reading helps too
[01:26] <Gnea> Slayer: is it builtin or usb?
[01:26] <bazhang> http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ports/releases/intrepid/release/ kelledin
[01:27] <nibsa1242> Jordan_U: I found something in the repos called cedar-backup2 looks like it might work. Thanks for your help.
[01:27] <r2s> help anyone
[01:27] <moebius> ZuLuuuuuu: unlikely, that's by design.  if really you're not sure you're typing it correctly, you could type it in another window (like gedit) and the copy and paste it into the terminal
[01:27] <Gnea> !ask | r2s
[01:27] <Jordan_U> nibsa1242: np, good luck
[01:27] <Slayer> it's a slide-in notebook card.
[01:27] <delugex> does anyone here use deluge? how can i set my download speed to be at least 3 times faster than my upload one? at present and for reasons that are beyond me my upload speed is 4 times faster than my download one!
[01:27] <r2s> anyone knows how to make ZTE MF622 3G Modem work with Ubunt 8.10 ??
[01:27] <dna_> how do i get the kernel source package
[01:27] <Slayer> (Used in a desktop, weird, I know.)
[01:27] <Gnea> r2s: is that a bluetooth/usb to a cellphone?
[01:27] <Slayer> It worked on XP
[01:27] <pwhipp> zsquareplusc: thanks again. back to work now ;)
[01:27] <nibsa1242> Jordan_U: I also found that there is a command called dirsplit... looks useful
[01:28] <emorris> Failtacular: hey, i know:   sudo apt-get --install-recommends install ubuntu-desktop
[01:28] <Gnea> Slayer: so pcmcia?
[01:28] <thetank> how do i get sound working on onboard speaker in tower
[01:28] <Slayer> I guess
[01:28] <r2s> Gnea: It's a USB card type ZTE MF622
[01:28] <zsquareplusc> dna_: its called linux-source  maybe apt-get source linux is also working
[01:28] <DiiPhantom> Gnea: quick question i installed proftpd from synaptic but i dont see it, where do i find it?
[01:28] <Gnea> Slayer: yeah, click on the PCMCIA link to the right of BELKIN and look at the bottom of the list, it's there.
[01:29] <brad_> you could probably just google linux kernel source...
[01:29] <dna_> thanks zsquareplusc
[01:29] <kelledin> bahzang: oooh...I wonder how I missed that.  somehow I got ahold of the Gutsy ISOs today
[01:29] <emorris> DiiPhantom: on the command line?
[01:29] <Slayer> can u link me plz?
[01:29] <kelledin> unaware of the Intrepid ISOs
[01:29] <dna_> brad_, tried that, didn't help
[01:29] <Slayer> closed the site
[01:29] <DiiPhantom> oh....
[01:29] <DiiPhantom> how do i open it? does it have a gui or window to make changes etc etc?
[01:30] <Gnea> Slayer: reopen it
[01:30] <emorris> DiiPhantom: you will probably have to edit some configuration files by hand
[01:30] <thetank> how do i get sound working on onboard speaker in tower
[01:30] <moebius> DiiPhantom: try "man proftpd" from a terminal prompt
[01:30] <moebius> that should give you some instructions
[01:30] <emorris> DiiPhantom: ooh, gproftpd is a GUI config tool
[01:30] <Gnea> r2s: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=665332
[01:30] <slinkeey> Hello
[01:30] <DiiPhantom> oh ok
[01:31] <kelledin> in that case, I might just try a dist-upgrade
[01:31] <kelledin> and if it blows up, no big deal :-)
[01:31] <Haunt_House> ubuntu is really fun. If I use the inbuilt driver, I get 1024x768 with 3dacceleration. If i use the proprietary driver I get 3d+ with 800x600 only.
[01:31] <storrgie> When I try to mount a drive though NFS it says, wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock... anyone experienced this?
[01:31] <greg_> anyone able to help me set my ubuntu box up as a pptp server....so i can vpn in and access samba shares?
[01:31] <slinkeey> How do I see if there is an error when my drive i supposed to automount like it did in 8.04.... 8.10 ir no longer works.
[01:31] <DiiPhantom> now i want to open it, lol how?
[01:31] <Haunt_House> 1024 without acc I mean
[01:31] <thetank> how do i get sound working on onboard speaker in tower
[01:32] <spree> thetank, is it the pc beeper or is it a real speaker connected to a sound card
[01:32] <emorris> DiiPhantom: did you install gproftpd?
[01:32] <thetank> spree: it is real
[01:32] <DiiPhantom> eyap
[01:33] <Slayer> another quick question
[01:33] <thetank> it worked in hardy spree
[01:33] <Slayer> How do I connect to my router too get my WIP pass?
[01:33] <DiiPhantom> yeap, and also the gproftpd
[01:33] <spree> thetank, well, is it connected via SPDIF or something or is it plugged into your sound card
[01:33] <bazhang> open terminal and type alsamixer and make sure nothing is muted thetank
[01:33] <emorris> DiiPhantom: in that case check the menus, especially system>administration. if not, hit alt-f2 and type gksudo gproftpd
[01:33] <Slayer> W-- whatever it is key
[01:33] <Gnea> Slayer: WEP?
[01:33] <bazhang> Slayer, you need to reset it?
[01:34] <Gnea> Slayer: or WPA?
[01:34] <emorris> msg Failtacular sudo apt-get --install-recommends install ubuntu-desktop
[01:34] <thetank> spdif i would imagine since my sound card is built in spree
[01:34] <emorris> woops
[01:34] <spree> bazhang, yeah i like to work up from the physical first just making sure he has it hooked up properly
[01:34] <Slayer> I need it since it got erased from my connections when I got rid of XP
[01:34] <jayjay> Hey, does anyone know how I can add Intel Experimental Modesetting to Xorg??
[01:34] <slinkeey> hi
[01:34] <DiiPhantom> o see it now
[01:34] <Gnea> Slayer: can you connect to your router via ethernet?
[01:34] <Slayer> ya
[01:34] <Slayer> on this comp
[01:34] <Haunt_House> hm, most monitor solutions I read deal with horizontal and vertical frequencies, but I have several monitors. How do I get 1024x768 AND 3dacc working at the same time? right now only one works at a time
[01:34] <Gnea> do that, make new keys
[01:34] <Slayer> not my one with Linux
[01:35] <spree> thetank, and you're sure the speaker works? like, did you have it working in windows, etc?
[01:35] <bazhang> Slayer, you forgot it?
[01:35] <Slayer> pretty much
[01:35] <DiiPhantom> but when i opended it it said: could not launch menu item" failed to execute child process "su-to-root" (no such file or directory
[01:35] <DiiPhantom> emorris:
[01:35] <bazhang> Slayer, was the windows password in plaintext or a bunch of dots
[01:35] <Gnea> Slayer: if it won't let you make new keys, you'll probably have to reset your router's configuration and start over from scratch to put the settings back in place and make new keys
[01:35] <jrib> DiiPhantom: install the menu package
[01:36] <thetank> bazhang nothings muted
[01:36] <DiiPhantom> which one is it?
[01:36] <brad_> is there anyone here that can help me with a printer? Lexmark z715
[01:36] <jrib> DiiPhantom: "menu"
[01:36] <Slayer> No, I need to connect to my router
[01:36] <thetank> spree yes i am sure, i used it in hardy
[01:36] <emorris> DiiPhantom: fine, just try            sudo gproftpd          from a terminal
[01:36] <Slayer> It has my keys
[01:36] <DiiPhantom> ok
[01:36] <bazhang> thetank, then check the sound prefs and see which works (not autodetect)
[01:36] <Gnea> !printer | brad_
[01:36] <slinkeey> Is there anyone that can help me with automounting of USB drives when I plug them in?
[01:37] <bazhang> Slayer, you forgot your wpa/wep pass or your router config pass
[01:37] <jrib> slinkeey: that should happen automatically as long as it is formatted
[01:37] <Slayer> WEP
[01:37] <emorris> DiiPhantom: actually, gadmin-proftpd might be the one you want
[01:37] <spree> thetank, if followed properly the Ubuntu Sound Troubleshooter should fix your every sound problem http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=205449
[01:37] <Slayer> I know my router pass
[01:37] <Slayer> just dunno how to get to router
[01:37] <slinkeey> jrib: It uses to happen in 8.04
[01:37] <Slayer> I know I gotta type some URL with numbers
[01:37] <spree> thetank, follow it skipping no steps even if you assume something works
[01:37] <DiiPhantom> i installed that already too
[01:37] <slinkeey> jrib:  but in 8.10 it no longer works
[01:37] <bazhang> Slayer, you'll need to reset it if you forgot unless you want to spend time guessing
[01:37] <Slayer> fun
[01:37] <Slayer> well, thanks
[01:38] <spree> bazhang, i'd bookmark that link it's a fantastic troubleshooter
[01:38] <spree> fixed me twice
[01:38] <kansan> why does ubuntu repos take SO LONG to  download stuff?  it used to be fast but now i'm getting like 22KB/sec... whats up?  can i make it faster?
[01:38] <bazhang> spree, which link
[01:38] <spree> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=205449
[01:38] <jayjay> sorry, I am new here. Am I allowed to ask my question more than once?
[01:38] <jrib> slinkeey: does it show up in sudo fdisk -l output?
[01:38] <bazhang> kansan, security updates are much slower
[01:38] <emorris> DiiPhantom: does it work?
[01:38] <bazhang> spree, thanks
[01:38] <alesan> hi I have downloaded skype's .deb for ubuntu, how do I install it from the command line? I have the file in my home directory
[01:38] <DiiPhantom> i mean do i run it from command?
[01:38] <J2daosh> hey all
[01:39] <vEyem> Slayer:in a browser going to 192.168.0.x where x is a number from 1 to 255.:)
[01:39] <J2daosh> i dont know what i am doing wrong but i cant even get th eth card working
[01:39] <emorris> DiiPhantom: sudo gadmin-proftpd     might work
[01:39] <DiiPhantom> ohh i think it does i did sudo gadmin-etcetc
[01:39] <kansan> bazhang, installing java-jdk6 is taking 30 min and i have 7MB down
[01:39] <bazhang> J2daosh, what ethernet card and what does ifconfig show for it
[01:39] <J2daosh> after i install kubuntu, i do an update, then i apt-get ubuntu-desktop because i like the applications, but then after i restart, i have no internet
[01:39] <emorris> DiiPhantom: or gksudo if your running from alt-f2
[01:39] <slinkeey> jrib: No it does not
[01:39] <spree> bazhang, it's such a good troubleshooter i think it should be added to ubottu for !sound-troubleshooter
[01:39] <bazhang> kansan, that happens sometimes just be patient
[01:39] <J2daosh> no wireless, no wired... /etc/init.d/networking restart doesn't fix it either
[01:39] <alesan> !skype
[01:40] <J2daosh> it shows eth in the ifconfig
[01:40] <J2daosh> eth0
[01:40] <bazhang> spree, then suggest it to be added to ubottu
[01:40] <jrib> slinkeey: check dmesg
[01:40] <J2daosh> but no IP gateway or anything
[01:40] <jayjay> :(
[01:41] <bazhang> J2daosh, did you start up with ethernet connected? if so open a terminal and type sudo dhclient eth0

[01:45] <slinkeey> jrib:  I will try that out
[01:45] <jrib> slinkeey: you shouldn't have to, but see if it works I guess
[01:45] <Haunt_House> hm, I rephrase: anybody in here familiar with SOLUTIONS to resolution and 3d acceleration problems?
[01:46] <clayX> jrib, http://paste.ubuntu.com/74574/
[01:46] <bazhang> Haunt_House, which card, which version of ubuntu, how did you install the drivers, what exact error messages did you get
[01:46] <clayX> DiiPhantom, anything that has flash
[01:46] <DiiPhantom> ok
[01:46] <clayX> badgerbadgerbadger has been my test page thus far
[01:46] <seeker1> do I need to defrag 8.10?
[01:46] <clayX> ;)
[01:47] <bazhang> seeker1, no
[01:47] <DiiPhantom> maybe u need java?
[01:47] <DiiPhantom> :p
[01:47] <seeker1> bazhang, why not?
[01:47] <clayX> java states it is installed
[01:47] <J2daosh> !ath5k
[01:47] <jrib> clayX: close firefox.  Run 'ps -ef | grep firefox' and verify no instances are running.  Start firefox.  Pastebin the contents of "about:plugins" when you put that in your address bar
[01:47] <LanUser> seeker1: you never need to defrag linux file systems
[01:47] <bazhang> seeker1, just dont
[01:47] <seeker1> LanUser, how come?
[01:47] <J2daosh> !atheros
[01:47] <seeker1> bazhang, thats a very poor answer
[01:47] <bazhang> seeker1, you dont. please stop asking.
[01:47] <LanUser> seeker1: they are more sophisticated than FAT or NTFS
[01:47] <spree> I am using Terminal Services Client to connect to a Windows server that I changed the default port from 3389 to 23389. How do I connect? I tried putting a colon in between and a space in between the IP and port, no such luck. Help!
[01:47] <symore_ubuntu> what is the name of the apache web user ?
[01:48] <seeker1> LanUser, does ext3 defrag on the fly?
[01:48] <Haunt_House> bazhang: ubuntu 8.0.4 nvidia gforce gt pro (according to ubuntu) and no errors I know of. just that enabling 3d acceleration reduces the available options to 800x600 or 640x480. Since I run blender on it, I'd like to have both (1024px and 3dacc)
[01:48] <seeker1> bazhang, thats a very poor answer just becayuse you dontr know the answer you become abusive
[01:48] <jrib> symore_ubuntu: www-data
[01:48] <seeker1> bazhang, low self-esteem issues?
[01:48] <alesan> seeker1, stop, they are gonna ban you otherwise :(
[01:48] <LanUser> seeker1: it places things in the right place so they never become fragmented
[01:48] <clayX> jrib, did that: No plugins are installed
[01:48] <seeker1> LanUser, ok thanks
[01:48] <alesan> LanUser, well that's a huge statement
[01:48] <jrib> clayX: that's not what I asked you to do
[01:49] <jrib> !paste > clayX
[01:49] <bazhang> Haunt_House, does that card have a number ie 8600
[01:49] <LanUser> why do man pages tale 10 seconds to start on my quad core mega monster computer?
[01:49] <kansan> how do i select a different mirror for updates?>  this is taking too long  :(
[01:49] <clayX> output is: batman   23615 22480  0 19:48 pts/2    00:00:00 grep firefox
[01:50] <vEyem> LanUser:ten seconds?Perhaps you have a really slow hd.
[01:50] <jrib> clayX: I mean you have to pastebin the page you got
[01:50] <spree> Cancel, I figured it out
[01:50] <kansan> ow do i select a different mirror for updates?>  this is taking too long  :(
[01:51] <jrib> kansan: system -> administration -> software sources
[01:51] <Haunt_House> bazhang: not that I recall. it's a pretty old card. I've seen solutions to add resolutions, but they depend on vertical and horizontal frequencies of the monitor. I don't use always the same monitor, so I don't know if such a solution is safe
[01:51] <clayX> jrib, http://paste.ubuntu.com/74576/
[01:51] <bazhang> Haunt_House, is there a driver in the restricted drivers manager for that?
[01:51] <LanUser> vEyem: I've got  7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s hard drives

[01:52] <NewFAQs> I just tried it then and it wont show up for me :(
[01:52] <vEyem> LanUser:Oh well I guess we can rule that out then.
[01:52] <bazhang> !awn | NewFAQs
[01:52] <kansan> vEyem, is there something different than:   http://ca.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/
[01:52] <kansan> i can put?
[01:52] <clayX> jrib, http://paste.ubuntu.com/74577/
[01:53] <emorris> bazhang: i think NewFAQs still means gnome panel
[01:53] <bazhang> emorris, aha thanks
[01:53] <LanUser> vEyem: it's weird, everything else is blazing fast, but man pages are slow as mollasses

I tried some drivers from the add/remove apps menu and I enable/disable the proprietary driver checkbox in one part of the system-menu to get either 1024 or acc.

[01:56] <jrib> clayX: delete it.  No, you must have put that there manually
[01:56] <J2daosh> how do i get wifi or ethernet working?!
[01:57] <spree> !ask | J2daosh
[01:57] <bazhang> Haunt_House, if that is the really old card, then perhaps it need the nvidia legacy driver; what resolution are you needing? or is it only about getting good 3d acc
[01:57] <J2daosh> spree: i have been asking questions
[01:57] <J2daosh> and i didn't ask "can anyone help me"
[01:58] <slinkeey> jrib:  It actually goes into a loop
[01:58] <slinkeey> and errors over and over
[01:58] <slinkeey> WOW!
[01:58] <spree> J2daosh, this is a quickly scrolling channel. If you ask a question then follow it up with a vague one like you just asked, someone like me will be like, "tell the question then"
[01:58] <Haunt_House> bazhang: I dont need fancy resolutions, just 1024x768 with 3d acceleration. the card might be 3 or 4 years old. hm, I'll google it
[01:58] <ellipsis> okay my ethernet connection keeps disconnecting and reconnecting
[01:58] <Songwind> I would like some help with the Network Manager "add route" dialogue.  The headings don't seem to make sense for the info you need to set up a route.

[01:58] <clayX> jrib, i remember doing that because people said that's all they had to do in order to get it working.  ok, i removed, it, restarted firefox, and still no plugins installed.

[01:59] <bazhang> J2daosh, you are pulling the ethernet from the windows box, then just plugging into ubuntu box?
[01:59] <jrib> clayX: what else did you do?
[01:59] <Haunt_House> bazhang: wikipedia claims that it's a card from 2000/2001
[02:00] <clayX> jrib, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6200737#post6200737
[02:00] <J2daosh> ok, wireless and wired internet not working. worked before an update after fresh install, didn't work after the restart. wireless is atheros and has problems. ethernet should work, is recognized by ubuntu as the correct model/type, but wont get an ip. did a dhclient eth and got nothing
[02:00] <J2daosh> bazhang: essentially yeah
[02:00] <J2daosh> i thought it may have been the router so i have done a reset on it
[02:00] <jrib> clayX: ugh.  Those are terrible.  delete /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so as well
[02:01] <Ademan> O_o
[02:01] <J2daosh> i know the wire and the port are fine because it worked after a fresh install
[02:01] <J2daosh> just not the update

[02:01] <J2daosh> bazhang: it worked when i did the fresh install, it didn't work when i did the reboot after the update
[02:01] <hotdog003> Kohlrak: It's in the preferences for pidgin.
[02:02] <J2daosh> it has nothing to do with the line or the router
 look at jackd
[02:02] <bazhang> Haunt_House, not sure on a card that old if the legacy driver will work or not; you can check in synaptic package manager for the legacy though
[02:02] <darkdeeper> TaRDy: try sudo service gdm start
[02:02] <Kohlrak> hotdog003, thanks i'll try that, but i'm not quite sure if that's it since it was the panel itself that changed.

[02:04] <J2daosh> but i have narrowed it down to ubuntu. so how can i "reinstall" it?
[02:04] <todkon> AnnoyingMouse_: what do you mean about jackd? could my current installation of it be conflicting with alsa or are you suggesting that it will help?
[02:04] <bazhang> J2daosh, what about going back the the kde session? does that allow ethernet to work?
[02:04] <J2daosh> doing a /etc/init.dnetworking restart doesn't fix the issue either

[02:05] <Melik> Guys, what is pulseaudio used for?
[02:05] <bazhang> Melik, sound
[02:05] <J2daosh> realtek PCI Express Fast Ethernet controller
[02:05] <Melik> If I use ALSA for everything ,can i go ahead and remove pulseaudio?
[02:05] <jrib> clayX: delete /home/batman/firefox/plugins/libflashplayer.so
[02:05] <J2daosh> RTL812E
[02:05] <bazhang> J2daosh, what is the number from lspci
[02:05] <spree> Melik, it is a competing sound driver like ALSA only ALSA is better and you should use it instead
[02:05] <bazhang> oops
[02:05] <n8tuser> J2daosh-> wiggle the cat5 cable a lil, and see if led lights are lit
[02:05] <blinkn1> time to install ubuntu and make one step away from from windows
[02:05] <hotdog003> Melik: PulseAudio is a "sound server". It lets you do nifty things like playing sound from two programs at once, changing one program's volume control at a time, and sending audio to another computer. You can remove ALSA, but I wouldn't recommend it.
[02:06] <hotdog003> PA works well in tandem with ALSA.

[02:06] <bazhang> Haunt_House, not sure how good of 3d acc you will ever get from that card, sad to say. I tried with a very old ati and it was quite constrained
[02:07] <bazhang> didnt want to let me run compiz at all
[02:07] <darkdeeper> !rsync
[02:07] <jrib> clayX: I guess that one shouldn't matter anyway.  Let's make it clearer.  sudo aptitude purge flashplugin-nonfree && sudo updatedb && locate libflashplayer.so

And I easily get the needed 1024x768, if I don't use the proprietary driver. in that case the acceleration is nonexistant. running blender 3d with 66fps, although there's just a cube in the viewport is not very comfortable, even for teaching purposes (:

[02:13] <TaRDy> blinkn1: i'm no expert, but a SATA drive should be faster then a PATA since PATA is parallel and SATA is serial, wikipedia can probably answer better than me though
[02:13] <LF|Irssi> Do not type that command!!
[02:13] <raven> uh, i needed one
[02:13] <Pici> !danger
[02:13] <AnnoyingMouse_> u have 2 get your atp's source right for ur flavour
[02:13] <raven> gyna is being a wanker
[02:13] <J2daosh> ok, on to the next issue. atheros wifi. followed the forums way using the ath5k driver / ndiswrapper, and the madwifi way. niether worked
[02:13] <raven> trying to get ppl to rm -rf /
[02:13] <Flannel> raven: That's not necessary

[02:13] <bazhang> he's gone. move on
[02:14] <bazhang> raven, please stop
[02:14] <raven> i only typed it once
[02:14] <raven> calm down :p
[02:14] <jrib> clayX: do the same for /usr/lib/firefox-addons/plugins/npwrapper.libflashplayer.so
[02:14] <koshari> TaRDy its got little to do with being a parralell or serial bus, mor to do with being differentual,
[02:14]  * Haunt_House announces: bazhang 1, Gyna 0
[02:14] <hotdog003> Nice show, Raven.
[02:14] <hotdog003> Fast on the draw there.
[02:14] <n8tuser> J2daosh-> sudo  ifdown ath0;  sudo ifup ath0;  ifconfig  and see it acquired an ip  addr
[02:14] <TaRDy> koshari: thank you
[02:14] <slinkeey> jinho: Boot Speed slower?  If so that is not a good benchmark
[02:14] <clayX> jrib, dpkg: /usr/lib/firefox-addons/plugins/npwrapper.libflashplayer.so not found.
[02:15] <ftehw> so is making image backups of my DVD library basically impossible/illegal in the US?
[02:15]  * Haunt_House google the infernal command
[02:15] <frenchy> AnnoyingMouse_ i dissabled everything except for the eee repo and it still wants to update 2 trhings but says it has to do a partial update
[02:15] <LF|Irssi> not impossible, probably illegal though
[02:15] <J2daosh> n8tuser: that fixed the ethernet
[02:15] <jrib> clayX: readlink -f /usr/lib/firefox-addons/plugins/libflashplayer.so
[02:15] <DiiPhantom> anyone?
[02:15] <n8tuser> J2daosh-> note the ath0  for the wireless
[02:15] <J2daosh> so atleast now my wired connection works. but the wirless is still out to lunch
[02:15] <Louis> I've been getting a few I/O errors on an old harddrive in an even older box... is there a tool to scan a harddrive and attempt automatic recovery of bad sectors, filesystem errors, etc...?
[02:15] <J2daosh> oh lol nevermind
[02:15] <cr4z3d> how do I add a script to run at startup and what is the best practice for storing scripts that run at startup?
[02:15] <J2daosh> i didn't see the ath0
[02:16] <jinho> TiMiDo: firefox is very slow, especially when switching between tabs, when I click on menu items, or open nautilis, it takes a few seconds to load, everything takes a few seconds or two to load (I wouldn't complain if it weren't for the fact that I assumed linux should be just blazing fast, given that i've seen other systems run so much snappier than mine on lower specs)
[02:16] <bazhang> J2daosh, what model number of card
[02:16] <clayX> jrib: output is readlink -f /usr/lib/firefox-addons/plugins/libflashplayer.so
[02:16] <jrib> !startup > cr4z3d
[02:16] <AnnoyingMouse_> aptitude clean, purge & such; i think I may be out of my debpt here, sry. look @ ubuntuforums too
[02:16] <Senri> jinho, open your sys monitor and see what else is using ram
[02:16] <Louis> jinho what are your specs?
[02:16] <n8tuser> Louis-> fsck should fix known filesystems on those
[02:17] <clayX> jrib, i don't know where 'readlink' came from, it isn't in my command prompt
[02:17] <clayX> oh wait
[02:17] <cr4z3d> jrib: no i know how to do that.. i'm talking about a script to load a module/start lircd
[02:17] <jrib> clayX: ok good.  So we can delete that.  delete /usr/lib/firefox-addons/plugins/libflash*
[02:17] <J2daosh> the atheros card according to lshw -C networking is: AR242x 802.11abg Wireless PCI Express adapter
[02:17] <clayX> jrib, output is /usr/lib/firefox-addons/plugins/libflashplayer.so
[02:17] <n8tuser> Louis-> i have heard someone here the other day,  disabling flash made firefox quicker in response
[02:17] <TaRDy> darkdeeper: i restarted and it is saying something to the effect of "..MP-BIOS bug: 8254 timer not connected to IO-APIC
[02:17] <Louis> n8tuser:  thanks. does that require sudo priviledges?
[02:17] <J2daosh> (which is correct)
[02:17] <jinho> amd 4600+ x2, 3gigs ram, 8800 gt, 120 gigs hd (90gigs free)
[02:18] <n8tuser> Louis-> yes
[02:18] <clayX> jrib, done
[02:18] <bazhang> J2daosh, hang on a sec
[02:18] <Louis> jinho:  the only thing i can think of is to double check that you've enabled a driver for yoru graphics card...
[02:18] <Louis> but i'm sure that doesn't really help
[02:18] <J2daosh> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Atheros
[02:18] <jinho> i mean...my expectations of a snappy system isnt unreasonable is it...?
[02:19] <bazhang> http://madberry.org/2008/11/how-to-get-atheros-ar242x-to-work-on-810-intrepid-ibex/ J2daosh
[02:19] <jrib> clayX: now install flashplugin-nonfree.  Close your browser.  Then run it from a terminal with /usr/bin/firefox
[02:19] <raven> jinho, my 1.66ghz c2d with 3gb ram and 8800m runs superfast with lots of eyecandy
[02:19] <J2daosh> i looked at that page and followed the directions but no joy. I also read about https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AspireOne which is the model i have. niether did it for me
[02:19] <n8tuser> jinho-> -> i have heard someone here the other day,  disabling flash made firefox quicker in response
[02:19] <J2daosh> ok, ill look at that link
[02:19] <Haunt_House> ah, ok it's more or less the equivalent to format c. hmmm
[02:19] <jinho> Louis: I'm sure my video drivers are working, compiz works..
[02:19] <raven> jinho, oh its firefox? firefox is slow as ass, use seamonkey
[02:19] <clayX> jrib, can you give me an exact command to copy
[02:19] <bazhang> J2daosh, did you check the link I gave you?
[02:19] <J2daosh> im looking at it now
[02:19] <DiiPhantom> i have a problem http://paste.ubuntu.com/74587/
[02:20] <jrib> clayX: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree && /usr/bin/firefox    after closing firefox
[02:20] <DiiPhantom> can someone help me please? :) i want to make work proftpd
[02:20] <Louis> !patience|DiiPhantom
[02:20] <bazhang> !away > dedi_away
[02:21] <jaf2> general question, what does someone mean when they say to 'configure the kernel'? How do I do that?
[02:21] <Louis> DiiPhantom:  I haven't worked with proftpd, but i do have some experience with other ftp servers.  what are you trying to do?
[02:21] <TiMiDo> jaf2, there are many howtos in google.
[02:21] <Louis> jaf2:  if you don't know you probably don't want to do it
[02:21] <DiiPhantom> sorry guys, didnt mean to me rude, im not, just though noone sow the post thats all..
[02:21] <jaf2> I have to :/
[02:21] <formode_> Hello, I have a friend on OS X who wants to voice chat with me. Are there any suggested programs to do this? She uses AIM but is open to using other things. (We do not wish to use Skype)
[02:22] <hotdog003> !away > me
[02:22] <jaf2> keywords : configure kernel?
[02:22] <jinho> also I tried to get kde4.1 running on my comp since I was curious as to how it would be like, but when the desktop loading screen comes up, it only gets up to the 1st icon (the harddrive) and afterwards if I click the mouse, the entire screen just has the kdm background and everything else disappears
[02:22] <jinho> any ideas?
[02:22] <TaRDy> darkdeeper: i googled that error i told you and i am going to try and add noapic to the grub menu.lst
[02:22] <ConstantineXVI> jaf2, why would you need a custom kernel?
[02:22] <TiMiDo> that's odd i cannot get my nvidia driver working.
[02:22] <cr4z3d> formode_: wengophone
[02:22] <Louis> jaf2:  although i realize 'general question' probably means you weren't planning on messing with it ;-)
[02:22] <DiiPhantom> Louis: i want to have a gui to get around with an ftp server program,
[02:22] <Smegzor> I am trying to save to a remote folder over sshfs using partimage to backup a drive, but partimage gets permission denied for user partimag.  I can save files there fine using abiword.  How do I run partimage or any backup program as me?
[02:22] <formode_> cr4z3d Wengophone is no longer in development, you cannot even create an account anymore. :(
[02:22] <Louis> DiiPhantom:  that's sort of hard to find.  I'd try webmin, though
[02:23] <bazhang> !webmin
[02:23] <bazhang> try ebox instead
[02:23] <cr4z3d> formode_: oh damn i didn't even know that
[02:23] <Louis> DiiPhantom:  honestly though, it's probably easier to use something like vsftpd and the configuration file.  What kind of configuration are you looking to achieve?
[02:23] <DiiPhantom> !ebox
[02:23] <darkdeeper> TaRDy: cant help you on this matter.. maybe someone else here can
[02:23] <formode_> cr4z3d I found out last night. :(
[02:24] <clayX> jrib, http://paste.ubuntu.com/74588/
[02:24] <DiiPhantom> all that matters to me is to add about 50 ppl to the server, and have them that if they upload something they get credit like 1:3
[02:24] <jaf2> Constatine, I need a custom kernel for an embedded board
[02:24] <TaRDy> darkdeeper: thank you anyways, i appreciate you trying
[02:24] <jaf2> Louis, I am most definitely planning to mess with it
[02:24] <Louis> is it possible to install ubuntu server with Grub?  it keeps defaulting to LiLO which trips off some sort of bullsh*t BIOS-based boot sector protection
[02:24] <formode_> Hello, I have a friend on OS X who wants to voice chat with me. Are there any suggested programs to do this? She uses AIM but is open to using other things. (We do not wish to use Skype)
[02:24] <Louis> jaf2:  haha then google is probably a good start. i seem to remember a tutorial on ubuntuforums as well
[02:25] <Louis> let me see if i can find it
[02:25] <jrib> clayX: flash work?
[02:25] <TaRDy> darkdeeper: i am most likely just going to resintall and hope something works
[02:25] <clayX> jrib, nope, no addons show still
[02:25] <jrib> clayX: what does 'uname -m' return?
[02:25] <mbrush> I just did some updates on 8.04 and I noticed firefox updates ... now my Find command doesn't work in Firefox, can anybody confirm this?
[02:25] <ConstantineXVI> formode_, try empathy on the ubuntu end, google talk in-browser chat on mac
[02:25] <clayX> jrib x86_64
[02:26] <ConstantineXVI> formode_, but skype is really your best option
[02:26] <jrib> clayX: did you do something to firefox?
[02:26] <mbrush> just ubuntu updates
[02:26] <darkdeeper> can skype run YM account?
[02:26] <clayX> jrib, nothing but install extensions and themes
[02:26] <ConstantineXVI> darkdeeper, nope
[02:27] <pistolsnipe> hey guys, im having an issue setting up my touchscreen, anyone had any experience?
[02:28] <Odditie> can anyone help me out on making my 2nd HDD shared with my other computer? I can't seem to get the permissions changed on it
[02:28] <jshriver> Greetings
[02:28] <pistolsnipe> hellos
[02:28] <jshriver> How can I draw a simple box using Gimp? sounds silly but the only "drawing" widget I see is the pencil
[02:28] <gegemaw> I'm getting ready to install ubuntu on an 80GB partition of which I have separated 10GB for a /home partition. Last I did this I went through sopme steps to move my home directory to the new partition. Would the installer let me specify a partition for my /home ?
[02:28] <TiMiDo> jshriver, try asking on #gimp
[02:28] <jshriver> did noone there
[02:29] <Haunt_House> jshriver: you mean rectangular?
[02:29] <hotcat> who can do me a favour ?  i can connect my desktop in Ubuntu with my windows sever 2000?
[02:29] <jrib> clayX: your paste doesn't really make sense.  It's complaining about the plugin being 64bit which the default 64bit firefox does not do
[02:29] <Dr_willis> gegemaw,  you can set the mountpoint for the partition to be /home during install/partiioning screens..
[02:29] <n8tuser> hotcat-> yes it is possible
[02:29] <ConstantineXVI> gegemaw, yes, make sure to use the custom partitioning
[02:29] <hotcat> why? but i can do that days before!
[02:29] <Haunt_House> jshriver: one idea would be to use the pencil, click on one corner and then hold shift and ctrl
[02:30] <clayX> jrib, i'm pretty frustrated.  is the default firefox in the package manager the 64 bit firefox?  maybe i have both the 32bit and 64 bit on here
[02:30] <phrostbite> I was wondering if there was a way to mass edit images. I got like 60 photos off my digital camera and i forgot to change the resolution. So they are all like 1.3mb and i was wondering if there was a fast way to change it so they are a smaller file size.
[02:30] <jrib> clayX: the default one is 64bit and you can't install 32bit through the package manager
[02:30] <jrib> clayX: apt-cache policy firefox
[02:31] <MrKeuner> hi all, which file do i have to edit in order to get a copy of system messages sent to root?
[02:31] <Odditie> Any help guys? I tried searching and tried chown and chmod, but its still only has root as the owner of the drive or any of the folders in it
[02:31] <ConstantineXVI> phrostbite, i can tell you it involves something called imagemagick, not much beyond that
[02:31] <phrostbite> ok thank you
[02:31] <phrostbite> I will look into that
[02:31] <cr4z3d> i'm looking for a way to enable s-video out on my video card.. i can't seem to figure it out
[02:31] <gegemaw> Thanks guys... and to add another question... I am setting this up as my current machine is about to die. I have a 10GB partition (separate disk) along with a 70GB NTFS partition that most of my data (media files) is in....since they're on two different machines, what would be the best approach to move my files over the new install? (rsync, yank the other drive out and mount it under the new Ubuntu install..?)
[02:31] <Louis> how do i replace lilo with grub?
[02:31] <clayX> jrib, http://paste.ubuntu.com/74592/
[02:31] <MrKeuner> Odditie: root of the disk belongs to root
[02:32] <MrKeuner> Odditie: you can create a folder and giv it to a user or to a group
[02:32] <hotcat> i could use "smb://" ,but now it say can't find
[02:32] <jrib> clayX: dpkg -S /usr/bin/firefox
[02:32] <hotcat> what can i do now?
[02:32] <Odditie> I have tried doing that to a single folder also and it still stays with root and no one else
[02:33] <clayX> jrib, http://paste.ubuntu.com/74596/
[02:33] <Odditie> I was hoping to make the whole HDD sharable, but I can settle with a couple folders being shared
[02:33] <Louis> does anybody know how to run transmission-cli (transmission in daemon mode) with tracker connections going through a SOCKS proxy?
[02:33] <pistolsnipe> does x take over the inputs (/dev/input/event8) when it starts, because i can see touchscreen garbage print out there before i start x but not after
[02:33] <MrKeuner> Odditie: you can mount it as a specific user, you have to edit /etc/fstab for that
[02:34] <jrib> clayX: ... You don't know anything about why you have diversions set on firefox?
[02:34] <MrKeuner> Odditie: I would go with what I said
[02:34] <clayX> jrib, no
[02:34] <jrib> clayX: readlink -f /usr/bin/firefox
[02:34] <Odditie> Whats the correct way to do that then? I was trying to change an already made folder, but was having no luck.
[02:35] <clayX> jrib, /opt/firefox/firefox
[02:35] <phrostbite> I am unable to find that imagemagik
[02:35] <MrKeuner> Odditie: I would say the correct way is to chown user:user /mounteddisk/newfolder -R
[02:35] <clayX> phrostbite, you might try picasa
[02:35] <jrib> clayX: you have run some script or something.  This is not a default setup
[02:36] <clayX> crap
[02:36] <phrostbite> OK, and you think that will help me mass edit images?
[02:36] <Odditie> ok, thank you MrKeuner
[02:36] <bazhang> its imagemagick phrostbite
[02:36] <MrKeuner> Odditie: welcome
[02:36] <bazhang> !info imagemagick
[02:36] <MrKeuner> chown user:user /mounteddisk/ -R won't work unless you mount it as user
[02:36] <ConstantineXVI> phrostbite, sudo apt-get install imagemagick
[02:37] <phrostbite> ok
[02:37] <Killer--Tux> how do i open the gui of proftp
[02:38] <MasterShrek> Killer--Tux, ever heard of webmin? its pretty sweet for configuring all sorts of servers
[02:38] <pistolsnipe> how do you know what device is assigned to your touchscreen?
[02:38] <Killer--Tux> MAsterShrek sorry never heard of it
[02:38] <Killer--Tux> MAsterShrek how does that work
[02:39] <MasterShrek> Killer--Tux, my friend showed me it, its a web-based configuration thing, u can configure ftp, apache, postfix, all sorts of things
[02:39] <MasterShrek> it has a debian package i think...
[02:39] <Killer--Tux> MAsterShrek o really
[02:39] <phrostbite> I did the sudo thing you told me too and i am not seeing it in the applications list
[02:40] <jrib> clayX: you need to remove the diversions that were set
[02:40] <Killer--Tux> MAsterShrek where can i get this
[02:40] <MasterShrek> first hit on google, webmin.com
[02:41] <apostle> how do I connect to usemet?
[02:41] <raven> n*
[02:41] <apostle> usenet? sorry
[02:42] <pistolsnipe> apostle, what client are you using?
[02:42] <ConstantineXVI> phrostbite, then from a terminal, go into your image directory, and run "mogrify -resize 50% *.jpg", replacing 50% with the % you want to shrink them
[02:42] <apostle> I have pan installed
[02:42] <pistolsnipe> you need either your isp's servier locations or a pay one
[02:42] <phrostbite> So then if i only wanna reduce them a little i would put like 10 percent
[02:43] <ConstantineXVI> phrostbite, NO, 90%
[02:43] <phrostbite> ok
[02:43] <ConstantineXVI> phrostbite, make backups first
[02:43] <phrostbite> so then from the terminal how do i get to the image folder?
[02:43] <ConstantineXVI> phrostbite, just in case you screw up
[02:43] <phrostbite> Oh and yes i made backups already :)
[02:43] <Grey_Loki> So it's 'become 90% of the original size', not 'reduce by 10%'?
[02:43] <clayX> jrib, i'm trying to figure out what you mean
[02:43] <jrib> phrostbite: or use 'convert' instead of 'mogrify'
[02:43] <ConstantineXVI> phrostbite, "cd /path/to/directory"
[02:44] <phrostbite> Oh ok
[02:44] <pistolsnipe> isp holds ~ 5 days? of retention, otherwise giganews does like 250 days, for about $5/month unlimited download
[02:44] <jrib> clayX: dpkg-divert --list '*firefox*'
[02:44] <phrostbite> Do I need hte quotes?
[02:44] <ConstantineXVI> phrostbite, no
[02:44] <ConstantineXVI> phrostbite, cd /home/phrostbite/Pictures or something
[02:44] <ellipsis> okay
[02:44] <ellipsis> erm
[02:44] <phrostbite> Ok thanks :)
[02:45] <ellipsis> every time I try to download a file in firefox
[02:45] <clayX> jrib, so if i come back here, and ask 'how do i get rid of these diversions' and point to a pastebin of this, it could be productive?
[02:45] <ellipsis> I get disconnected from eth0
[02:45] <ellipsis> any ideas?
[02:45] <FloodBot2> ellipsis: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[02:45] <jrib> clayX: it will take you 10 seconds to do it now
[02:45] <clayX> oh how do i do it
[02:45] <ellipsis> or to put it properly, every time I try to download a file in firefox, I get disconnected from eth0.
[02:45] <jrib> clayX: dpkg-divert --list '*firefox*'
[02:45] <clayX> ok i did that
[02:46] <jrib> clayX: pastebin
[02:46] <raven> is there some way i can tell apt i compiled and installed wine myself so that the stuff installed by apt-get build-dep wine doesnt show up  as unneeded stuff for apt-get autoremove

[02:49] <ellipsis> every time I try to download a file in firefox, I get disconnected from eth0. Here is the paste from dmesg. http://paste.ubuntu.com/74599/
[02:49] <iKazmi> I am using Ubuntu 8.10.
[02:49] <iKazmi> I upgraded my kernel from 2.6.27-7 to 2.6.27-8 when the upgrade became available. When I rebooted my system into the upgraded kernel, my broadcom card had stopped working, it was working perfectly with the linux drivers before the upgrade. The kde network manager was not even listing a wireless device in the list and eth0 seemed to be the only interface available to me.
[02:49] <iKazmi> ifconfig told me about eth0, loopback and the vmnet networks while iwconfig told me that eth0, lo, vmnet and pan0 had no wireless extensions, it did not even mention the wireless card.
[02:49] <iKazmi> lspci was still recognizing the card but 'dmesg|grep bcm', 'dmesg|grep b43' and 'dmesg wlan' all returned nothing at all. I manually went over the dmesg output but could not find anything related to wlan.
[02:49] <jrib> warriorforgod: you wouldn't.  See -mmin
[02:49] <FloodBot2> iKazmi: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[02:49] <ellipsis> any ideas?
[02:49] <PassionFRUI7E> Killer--Tux: Obsiously nobody knows, but chill down.
[02:49] <iKazmi> In the end, I rebooted into my old kernel and everything is working perfectly.
[02:50] <warriorforgod> jrib: Ahh.  Thx.

[02:51] <jlaroche> Hey guys! I'm wondering if there is a way to make ubuntu show folder icons the way Windows XP or Vista do. Let me explain... In vista and XP, if a folder has a jpeg within it called "folder.jpg" the folder's will have that picture displayed (when you view your folders in 'folder view'). Is there anyway to do something similar in Ubuntu?
[02:51] <clayX> thank you so much jrib

[02:51] <mbrush> PassionFRUI7E: not sure, but good luck
[02:51] <fany3642> jrib: no

[02:55] <PassionFRUI7E> raven: You're thinking in windows mode.
[02:55] <J2daosh> give that link to anyone that has a problem as the other 2 links on the ubuntu forums dont work
[02:55] <PassionFRUI7E> raven: Just make a nautilus script to do it.
[02:55] <Xsss4hell> raven create a script that does extract %f depending on extension, then choose it as the default open action
[02:55] <bazhang> J2daosh, its on the ubuntu wiki :)
[02:55] <jlaroche> passionFRUI7E: I have a huge collection of videos and music and am very meticulous when it comes to organization. On top of that I am a very visual person. in windows xp and vista I would navigate my music and film collections in the 'folder view' mode and all the folders (named after an artist with subfolders for the album, or named after the movie) had icons representing what they were. Do you understand now?
[02:55] <Xsss4hell> raven but it doesn't make sense to me
[02:55] <J2daosh> oh dangit
[02:55] <PassionFRUI7E> raven: Then you right click and could extract all archives in said folder to current directory.

[03:20] <slinkeey> it looks like a snowey tv channel
[03:20] <hotdog003> Slinkeey: Does it move? Do you see any icons?
[03:20] <droopsta915> is there any software that can trouble shoot my computer?
[03:20] <slinkeey> I see icons
[03:21] <overlordpuppy> I'm having trouble getting my bluetooth headset to have playback.
[03:21] <izinucs> JoeK, if it doesn't detect it you'll have to install the restricted extras package.. not sure if that is on the cd or now.
[03:21] <izinucs> *not
[03:21] <slinkeey> it is like a video of a staticy tv as my background
[03:21] <PassionFRUI7E> At 6k hours and 30 USD I got 200 hours to the dollar.  Movies are .05 hours to the dollar.
[03:21] <JoeK> Delano, you should be able to get 8.1 from the update manager
[03:21] <PassionFRUI7E> Tada!
[03:21] <hotdog003> Slinkeey, try opening a terminal and typing "killall nautilus" and your background *should* be refreshed.
[03:21] <formode_> Does Empathy IM support voice chat?
[03:21] <bazhang> PassionFRUI7E, please chat in #ubuntu-offtopic
[03:21] <PassionFRUI7E> Sure.
[03:21] <{Delano}> JoeK, okay... how big is it?
[03:21] <slinkeey> i tried that
[03:21] <PassionFRUI7E> I reask, what's the procedure for seeing the 3d cube?
[03:22] <slinkeey> sometimes my background looks like it is picking up a tv station
[03:22] <PassionFRUI7E> I have everything enabled, it just seems that I'm forgetting something about this small | |.
[03:22] <bazhang> !cube
[03:22] <slinkeey> I can make out some faint tv show
[03:22] <bazhang> PassionFRUI7E, open ccsm
[03:22] <meyos> passion: did install the compiz-manager?
[03:22] <PassionFRUI7E> Yes yes it's open.
[03:22] <raven> lololol, slinkeey?
[03:22] <slinkeey> not often though
[03:22] <raven> slinkeey, do u use a CRT?
[03:22] <bazhang> PassionFRUI7E, then go to general settings
[03:22] <slinkeey> no
[03:22] <JoeK> Delano, first you should apply all available updates. Then the update manager should show you ubuntu 8.1 is available. I dont know how much it downloads to upgrade from an older version
[03:22] <hotdog003> Slinkeey: That is very strange. To be honest, I don't know how to fix it. Do you have a TV tuner card? Are you running MythTV? Perhaps if you plug a cable in, what would happen?
[03:22] <PassionFRUI7E> There.
[03:23] <slinkeey> I do have an ati all in wonder
[03:23] <bazhang> check under virtual horizontal desktops iirc
[03:23] <bazhang> set to 4
[03:23] <raven> slinkeey, do u 1. have a tv card, 2. use a tv as a monitor, or 3. have anything but ur pc hooked to the monitor
[03:23] <slinkeey> maybe the tv tuner on that is trying to be the background
[03:23] <jhalstead> when I installed my system this last time I did a default install and now I have a swap partition I'm not using.  I assume I can remove it from fstab and repartition the space it will work like I expect it to. (remove swap like it never existed)  Am I missing anything thing with this logic that I need to know before attempting?
[03:23] <hotdog003> Hmm. Maybe if you... hmm. Very strange. Yeah, that's what I'm thinking
[03:23] <hotdog003> but I don't know why.
[03:23] <hotdog003> Very strange.
[03:24] <slinkeey> my pc is hooked up to the monitor
[03:24] <slinkeey> I can still use it
[03:24] <PassionFRUI7E> Ah that makes sense.
[03:24] <bazhang> then initiate
[03:24] <slinkeey> I sai djust the background look like tv
[03:24] <bazhang> check the keybinding for that
[03:24] <slinkeey> not the whole ppicture
[03:24] <PassionFRUI7E> KK.
[03:24] <PassionFRUI7E> Understood.
[03:25] <droopsta915> passion: go to system > preference > advanced desktop effects and that will show u the options u want to setup.
[03:25] <JohnWittle> If I use the "create bootable thumb drive" option when booted from the PPC version of Ubuntu, will it create a powerPC version of ubuntu on the USB drive?
[03:25] <fwaokda> how to i uninstall something that I've installed via the repos?
[03:25] <JoeK> So can someone help me with ubuntu server 8.1 install?
[03:25] <hosstest> anyone know why my nautilus is nearly crawling?  I have the update manager window up, with updates but every time I focus over the window it just hangs?
[03:25] <usser> JohnWittle, yes
[03:25] <Louis> fwaokda:  sudo aptitude remove packagename
[03:25] <fwaokda> thanks
[03:26] <PassionFRUI7E> I have no advanced desktop effects menu.
[03:26] <JohnWittle> usser: is there any way to instal the i286 version from a PPC computer?
[03:26] <Louis> fwaokda:  or sudo aptitude remove --purge packagename     that's if you want to remove all configurations as well
[03:26] <_stink_> anyone seen something like this before?: i have a machine with sshd and vnc server running. i can get to both services and see both open via nmap, but only from 2 of my machines w/i my home network. from one of my machines, though, both services won't respond, and nmap shows them as "filtered".
[03:26] <PassionFRUI7E> Hm, the cube isn't initiating.  I have 4x1 desktops.
[03:26] <_stink_> what's weirder is that this one machine was able to connect *once*, but can't any more.
[03:26] <PassionFRUI7E> output set to one big cube, most settings maxed
[03:26] <usser> JohnWittle, without downloading the entire iso? no
[03:26] <slinkeey> I want to run Ubuntu PPC on my IBM iSeries (AS400) currently running SLES
[03:26] <hosstest> its almost like, my left click does nothing.
[03:27] <JohnWittle> usser: I'm fine with that, but i'm not very good with the fdisk command, and i'm on a mac
[03:27] <hotdog003> Hey, I have a problem. My hostname is set to "localhost.localdomain" on bootup and not "northbound" like it should be. What gives? Here's my /etc/hosts and such: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/74581/
[03:27] <JohnWittle> i can only boot the PPC version of ubuntu
[03:27] <akorpija> hey guys does anybody know how i can get compiz working on 8.10...i have intel 945gma integrated graphics card, but when i try looking up the driver in synpatics it doesnt find anything...and when i try to use Extra or Normal desktop effects it tells me: Desktop Effects could not be enabled
[03:27] <droopsta915> passion gimme a sec
[03:27] <JohnWittle> but i want to be able to boot ubuntu on an intel computer from my flash drive
[03:27] <PassionFRUI7E> Thanks droopsta915.
[03:27] <izinucs> PassionFRUI7E, go to System>Preferences>Appearance>Visual Effects and crank it up to the middle or highest setting.
[03:27] <usser> JohnWittle, install unetbootin, it will make the entire process insanely easy
[03:27] <bullgard4> hosstest: What do you mean by "nearly crawling" in Standard Emglish?
[03:28] <PassionFRUI7E> Odd, no buttons are selected.
[03:28] <JohnWittle> is that on macports or should i google?
[03:28] <bullgard4> hosstest: What do you mean by "nearly crawling" in Standard English?
[03:28] <Jordan_U> JohnWittle: I personally doubt that the installer works for PPC
[03:28] <JohnWittle> what do you mean?
[03:28] <PassionFRUI7E> K now what?
[03:28] <droopsta915> passion: install Advanced Desktop Effects Setting Compiz configuration settings manager also.
[03:28] <izinucs> PassionFRUI7E, ctrl+alt+click left mouse and drag
[03:29] <JohnWittle> Jordan_U: why would that be?
[03:29] <hosstest> bullgard4:  Like, for instance, my cursor looks like the text cursor, the whole session is nearly unresponsive.
[03:29] <hosstest> bullgard4:  I click on stuff, and nothing happens. It doesnt get highlighted or anything.
[03:30] <hosstest> bullgard4:  Everything seems frozen.  I hard rebooted once already.
[03:30] <JohnWittle> usser: unetbootin is not available for mac
[03:30] <usser> JohnWittle, i dont think theres a mac version of unetbootin or ppc for that matter, if u have access to a windows machine it works on windoows
[03:30] <Jordan_U> JohnWittle: PPC is not fully supported any more so my guess would be that the flash drive installer on PPC is the exact same code as the one for x86 just compiled for PPC, so you might be able to make a bootable intel flash drive but I doubt there is code for dealing with yaboot ( the bootloader used for PPC )
[03:31] <JohnWittle> if I had access to a windows machine i would just boot intel ubuntu
[03:31] <bullgard4> hosstest: I presume that you mingled with you configuration. Otherwise I have never heard that this happens. So I can only advise that you de-install the package and re-install it.
[03:31] <JohnWittle> Jordan_U: what do you mean?
[03:31] <genii-around> JohnWittle: Did you ask in #ubuntu-ppc   ?
[03:31] <JohnWittle> genii-around: will now
[03:31] <bullgard4> hosstest: I presume that you mingled with your configuration. Otherwise I have never heard that this happens. So I can only advise that you de-install the package and re-install it.
[03:32] <hosstest> Is it possible that my right click has become Unbound or something?
[03:32] <Roasted> how can I run a fsck on a device that ubuntu doesn't even recognize? I can't get my flash drive to respond in ubuntu, but it works in vista just fine. Someone on the forums said about doing a fsck but I'm not sure how if ubuntu doesn't recognize my flash drive.
[03:32] <JohnWittle> genii-around: 13 users as opposed to 1407 :D
[03:33] <PassionFRUI7E> Back after logoff
[03:33] <genii-around> JohnWittle: Someone still may know
[03:33] <jeffrae> hi
[03:33] <PassionFRUI7E> I'm redefaulting my controls.
[03:33] <jeffrae> i am using Xchat...
[03:33] <jeffrae> how do I make the users diplay
[03:33] <kindofabuzz> I have no sound in Banshee. sound works fine in all other apps. i've tried everything I can think of. any ideas?
[03:33] <fernando> ubuntu.pt
[03:33] <jeffrae> I have to click a dropdown to show them
[03:34] <tsrk> How can I check what hostname my IP resolves to?
[03:34] <jeffrae> Or is there anything nicer then xchat?
[03:34] <PassionFRUI7E> pidgin ftw.
[03:34] <meyos> what does this mean? im trying to install updates and get this, please look at pastebin---http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/74613/
[03:34] <rhce7321> tsrk: host `hostname`
[03:34] <usser> JohnWittle, actually now that im looking at that built-in create bootable usb program
[03:34] <LF|Irssi> jeffrae: type /set    theres 100 options there, one of them permanently sets the nick list :)
[03:34] <tsrk> rhce7321, does that actually check what my IP resolves to or just check what my hostname is set to?
[03:34] <Great_Gatsby> i have mozplugger and mozilla-mplayer installed but they wont work
[03:34] <usser> JohnWittle, it lets you select the iso file from which u want to create a usb thumb. so yes it will work with i386
[03:34] <Great_Gatsby> i have it set to them in firefox
[03:35] <usser> JohnWittle, but u'll have to download entire iso of i386 ubuntu
[03:35] <BlooBay> once I have KDE installed in addition to Gnome, how do I add it to the session manager for selection at login?
[03:35] <hosstest> okay, I just tried to install Updates with the Update Manager, and it told me that a malicious program might be preventing me from doing something, "Could not grab mouse, Try again"/
[03:35] <DiiPhantom> question, in proftpd im adding a user and there is a space to fill in: "shell: /dev/null"
[03:35] <hosstest> wtf does this mean?
[03:35] <luddite> hi any ideas on the lowest resource intensive word processor that has spellcheck?
[03:35] <Great_Gatsby> instead i just get this white page with a green triangle in it for the play button
[03:35] <DiiPhantom> what goes there?
[03:35] <akorpija> anybody want to help me try to get my compiz working??
[03:35] <JohnWittle> usser: I don't mind
[03:36] <DiiPhantom> akorpija: whats up?
[03:36] <LeonSquall> ...
[03:36] <rhce7321> tsrk: It does 2x dns lookups: hostname does a fwd, then host does a revers on the fwd reurned by hostname
[03:36] <JohnWittle> Does the installer work when running off of a copy of ubuntu booted off of a CD?
[03:36] <jeffrae> LF|Irssi: thanks
[03:36] <tsrk> rhce7321, ok, thanks, it gave me "Host hostname not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)
[03:36] <tsrk> "
[03:37] <jeffrae> there are a ton
[03:37] <jeffrae> I will have to figure out what one does it..
[03:37] <hosstest> please, someone.  What does it mean when trying to Update with the Update Manager when it tells me that "A malicious program could be preventing me from doing something, Could not grab mouse".
[03:37] <droopsta915> does ubuntu have something similar to a restore point?
[03:37] <Priswell> For the past 2 days I've been getting an error message in Firefox whenever I type an address into the address bar: ASSERT: ***Search:_installLocation: engine has no file! Stack Trace: 0:Ensure_Warn(false,_installLocation:  . . .and there's more. Does this sound familiar to anyone?
[03:37] <rhce7321> tsrk: did you include the back-ticks?  They are not quotes.
[03:37] <LF|Irssi> jeffrae: have you found the nick list in the view menu ?
[03:37] <Suhail> So does anyone know how to change the system clock?
[03:38] <akorpija> uhh
[03:38] <tsrk> rhce7321, oh, nope, that's probably the problem, thank you
[03:38] <akorpija> this is weird but it actually just randomly started working.................
[03:38] <LF|Irssi> Dont give up on xchat though, i know it's a mess by default, but once its all set up, it is a very nice IRC client , so hang in there :)
[03:38] <Guest84533> hi
[03:38] <akorpija> i've rebooted, restarted X, logged out and back in enough times, and now it just happens to be working.............
[03:38] <meyos> why cant i login to my laptop?
[03:39] <Elda> meyos, what are you logged into now then?
[03:39] <DiiPhantom> lol
[03:39] <meyos> elda:im in safe mode
[03:39] <jeffrae> nope
[03:39] <tsrk> rhce7321, that still gave me the same error but when I used "host [my ip]" it worked
[03:39] <jeffrae> LF|Irssi: nope
[03:40] <LF|Irssi> hmm
[03:40] <Elda> safe mode.... windows? >.>
[03:40] <BlooBay> only safe mode for windows is MODE OFF!!!!
[03:40] <Elda> pfff
[03:40] <LF|Irssi> jeffrae: unfortunatly i dont have xchat on hand to help much further :(
[03:40] <rhce7321> tsrk: does "hostname"  (quotes this time - don't use them...) give you the name you expect?
[03:40] <jeffrae> its cool
[03:40] <JohnWittle> rofl. this is bizarre. I am downloading the same file with the same name from bittorrent and from firefox at the same time
[03:40] <Elda> I enjoy Ubuntu but I'm smart enough to understand that windows has it use :>
[03:40] <JohnWittle> why isn't ubuntu confused?
[03:40] <jeffrae> LF|Irssi:  its cool
[03:41] <hosstest> I need help, my mouse is frozen, when trying to do updates with the Update Manager, It tells me, "Cannot grab mouse, pleae try again".
[03:41] <meyos> my bad, fail safe gnome
[03:41] <tsrk> rhce7321, no, it gives the name on the local network
[03:41] <hornet> to change system clock type sudo date dd/mm/00:00/2008
[03:41] <Elda> No idea meyos :>
[03:41] <tsrk> rhce7321, may I pm you with some questions about networking?
[03:41] <Louis> is there a way to tune ubuntu server for even more speed?
[03:42] <rhce7321> tsrk: only 2-3 mins... my lunch-break is closing.
[03:42] <hosstest> how do I re-install a package from the command line?
[03:43] <Guest84533> Hi all

[03:50] <droopsta915> is there a way to restore my laptop to an erlier date?
[03:51] <Louis> anybody know when ubuntu home server is expected to be released?
[03:51] <usser> Louis, eh?
[03:51] <raven> i didnt know there was a ubuntu server
[03:51] <raven> nor do i know why there would be, since u can install whatever u want on the normal edition
[03:51] <usser> Louis, whats the point of that?
[03:51] <jlc> there is a server addition
[03:51] <mrpockets> unless you're on a domain, remote-desktop won't work right?
[03:52] <raven> mrpockets, no
[03:52] <raven> it works on any network
[03:52] <jlc> doesn't come with desktop and has some server packages avaiable for install during the cd install
[03:52] <mrpockets> in a p2p
[03:52] <mrpockets> ?
[03:52] <raven> more specific?
[03:52] <mrpockets> or "workgroup"
[03:52] <raven> yes
[03:52] <elkbuntu> hrm, what's the magic word to restart the sound stuff these days
[03:52] <raven> i use it in a workgroup all the time
[03:52] <mrpockets> strange
[03:52] <raven> y strange
[03:53] <binarymutant> usser, the server edition doesn't install a window manager and keeps the total memory used down, which is great for a server
[03:53] <binarymutant> I type to slow
[03:53] <Louis> usser:  apparently there's an ubuntu home server project in the works... i dunno if this is the right channel to be asking this question lol
[03:53] <usser> binarydigit, yea... he was talking about home server
[03:53] <binarymutant> whats the point in ubuntu "home" server idk
[03:53] <Louis> usser:  it's supposed to be a kind of a halfway between ubuntu server and ubuntu desktop edition... basically ubuntu server with a lightweight gui and some default graphical apps
[03:54] <binarymutant> o
[03:54] <raven> so xubuntu?
[03:54] <raven> xD
[03:54] <usser> Louis, yea i just looked it up... dunno what will end up looking like and if it has anything to add to server edition at all. i mean server edition with ebox is pretty damn user friendly
[03:54] <binarymutant> lol
[03:54] <DiiPhantom> wao, anyone knows where i can go to get help with proftpd? this is veryyyyyyyyy different from windows
[03:54] <gizmobay> I went to the samba site and it says it's released 3.2 but the repo has 3.0.28. Does anyone know why the repo is behind?
[03:54] <binarymutant> to many knock offs of knock offs
[03:54] <binarymutant> s/to/too
[03:55] <raven> gizmobay, cuz repo maintainers r lazy?
[03:55] <usser> gizmobay, only stable packages make it into repo and once ubuntu is released no major updates are made ie 3.0 to 3.2 is considered major
[03:56] <raven> u  can probably update it urself if u like, gizmobay
[03:56] <gizmobay> okay, thanks for the info
[03:56] <Louis> usser:  is ebox anything like webmin?
[03:56] <raven> Louis, ebox replaces webmin, from what i hear
[03:56] <raven> tho i never used either
[03:56] <gizmobay> just find a package or compile?
[03:56] <raven> gizmobay, likely a compile, but thats pretty easy..
[03:56] <raven> u might find a debian package
[03:56] <raven> duno
[03:57] <usser> Louis, yea pretty much lacks lots of features of webmin but it only makes it easier to use for general-purpose stuff. for something complicated i'd always drop to command line
[03:57] <droopsta915> can someone help me figure this problem out please? http://paste.ubuntu.com/74620/
[03:57] <fiXXXerMet> If I have ripped a DVD to my computer ( I have the VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS folders), what can I use to convert it to a .avi file?
[03:57] <gizmobay> okay, 3.0 works well just kinda of wondering why no 3.2
[03:57] <c0re_> LOL @ <raven> gizmobay, cuz repo maintainers r lazy?
[03:57] <raven> fiXXXerMet, VLC can do that
[03:57] <binarymutant> droopsta915, is that a real copy paste?
[03:57] <usser> DiiPhantom, why dont u use gproftpd. its a gui frontend to configure proftpd
[03:57] <raven> c0re_, iunno, was joking rly :p
[03:58] <Louis> usser:  yeah i've gotten to that point too, even with webmin.  is ebox in the repos?  id love to try it out
[03:58] <fiXXXerMet> raven: ah - let me try it
[03:58] <binarymutant> droopsta915, because it says 'settin'
[03:58] <usser> Louis, yes it is
[03:58] <Doctor-Steve> im trying to install Vmware, its asking for gcc-4.2.3 instead of gcc-4.2.4.... how do i install gcc-4.2.3?
[03:58] <raven> i dont see why that would be the case, but assuming ur right u can compile from source
[03:58] <droopsta915> no i typed it sorry, its on my laptop and i typed it into the paste bin using computer
[03:59] <raven> Doctor-Steve,
[03:59] <usser> Doctor-Steve, just ignore that warning. it works with gcc-4.2.4 just fine
[03:59] <DiiPhantom> usser:  lol im very confused with it, im used to serv-u
[03:59] <Doctor-Steve> usser, :)
[03:59] <izinucs> Doctor-Steve, have you installed "build-essential" .. usually that's all you need to install vmware server
[03:59] <formode_> Seeking way to voice chat with someone on the AIM chat network, or via Jabber. Anyone know?
[03:59] <hosstest> I need help pls, my mouse is unresponsive within Nautilus.  I left click on objects and nothing happens.  I have Update Manger up ealier, and it would not install updates because "Could no grab mouse, please try again".
[03:59] <hosstest> what does this mean?
[03:59] <Doctor-Steve> usser, its just last time i did it, it crashed every 15 seconds...
[03:59] <Ikyn_> So I downloaded and installed the linux drivers for the ATI card in my laptop. Once I restarted and rebooted, it's having problems, and when I try to start in low-res mode, it never actually gets to the desktop. Is there anyone that can tell me how I reverse the process?
[03:59] <phuzion> I installed Vista onto a partition on my laptop, and want to have Grub back so I can get to my Ubuntu partition.  What's the best way to go about putting Grub back into the MBR?
[04:00] <usser> DiiPhantom, thats why u should learn how to configure with just the .conf file. Frontends change config file will always be there :)
[04:00] <droopsta915> here i fixed the type-o's http://paste.ubuntu.com/74624/
[04:00] <raven> phuzion: boot to a live cd and install grub, google for how to install grub
[04:00] <izinucs> !grub | phuzion
[04:00] <raven> or u can do that
[04:00] <raven> :p
[04:00] <phuzion> izinucs, thanks
[04:00] <DiiPhantom> i have no idea what ur talking about lol
[04:00] <droopsta915> this is the ~/.xsession-errors file
[04:00] <izinucs> phuzion, np
[04:00] <binarymutant> droopsta915, there should just be comments in /etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d/all_ALL I'll show you what mine looks like
[04:01] <Ikyn_> How do I get to the command line before unbuntu GUI boots up?
[04:01] <hosstest> I sweat to God, I am about 3 secs from scrubbing my HD and installing Winblows.  I seriously need help.
[04:01] <hosstest> *swear
[04:01] <binarymutant> droopsta915, http://paste.ubuntu.com/74625/
[04:01] <usser> hosstest, just restart X server
[04:01] <jlc> Ikym select failsafe instead of default kernel
[04:01] <NewFAQs> HOSTEST LOL
[04:01] <NewFAQs> WELCOME TO THE CLUB
[04:01] <gaelfx> My computer recently informed me that I had broken packages related to a failed install of compiz-core, so I rm'ed the package and tried to reinstall via apt-get, but I always get the same error that a parse error occurs when it's reading the dependencies file, no matter how many times I try re-downloading, I get the same error. How can I fix this problem?
[04:01] <FloodBot2> NewFAQs: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[04:01] <NewFAQs> :D
[04:01] <hosstest> usser: how?
[04:01] <genii> Ikyn_: Choose "console login" from the login sessions available
[04:01] <usser> hosstest, CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE but it will log you out
[04:02] <NewFAQs> LOL, I am about to switch back to windows also, atleast it runs right and doesnt take command lines to install things
[04:02] <akio> wow
[04:02] <droopsta915> binarymutant: ill go into fail safe mode and see what i can fix, thanks
[04:02] <binarymutant> np
[04:02] <akio> NewFAQs:
[04:02] <akio> what do you need help with?
[04:02] <hosstest> usser:  that did nothing
[04:03] <jlc> Ikyn_: "recovery mode" kernel not failsafe.. :)
[04:03] <formode_> Can one voice chat with Jabber?
[04:03] <droopsta915> sorry, whats the path for that file?
[04:03] <binarymutant> NewFAQs, windows does have a terminal
[04:03] <binarymutant> NewFAQs, and a lot of ppl use it
[04:03] <binarymutant> droopsta915,  /etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d/all_ALL
[04:03] <izinucs> NewFAQs, I just tried to reinstall windows on my wife's machine that I had to rebuild.. It didn't like the fact that the cdrom and hd were on the same ide channel but ubuntu didn't have any problem.. messed with settings, ram sticks etc for an hour trying to figure it out.. things are just different in both camps.. time to learn!
[04:03] <hosstest> My mouse seems to be frozen, it is unresponsive when I left click on desktop items.  I had Update Manager open earlier and when I tried to update it told me that "Cannot grab mouse, try again later"/
[04:03] <usser> hosstest, nothing at all?
[04:04] <hosstest> has anyone seen this?
[04:04] <usser> hosstest, did it drop you back to login screen?
[04:04] <gaelfx> hosstest: see it
[04:04] <NewFAQs> wow i do like ubuntu
[04:04] <hosstest> usser: yes
[04:04] <NewFAQs> but windows is easier
[04:04] <binarymutant> NewFAQs, then use it
[04:04] <usser> hosstest, and u could login?
[04:04] <hosstest> usser: yes
[04:04] <manguy> What is the difference between drwxrwxr-x and drwxrwsr-x ?
[04:04] <usser> hosstest, and same problem?
[04:05] <jlc> NewFAQs: windows doesn't come with synaptic or gnome-app-install and the ability to select 20K packages with a mouse all for free does it?
[04:05] <\Kira> I get a segmentation fault when trying to run Unreal tournament on linux
[04:05] <hosstest> usser:  yes, I have a mouse cursor, but nothing happens when I click on objects.
[04:05] <fiXXXerMet> raven: For the Encapsulation option, mpeg-ts, mpeg-ps, mpeg 1, asf/wmv, mp4, other options, ??
[04:05] <raven> mp4 i'd recommend, or mpeg-ts
[04:05] <usser> hosstest, hm... ok do ctrl+alt+F1
[04:05] <binarymutant> jlc, actually windows will have something like synaptic I think. I think they are calling it cloud computing or something
[04:05] <formode_> Is it possible to use Voice Chat on jabber servers?
[04:05] <usser> hosstest, it should give u a login prompt in text mode
[04:06] <jlc> binarymutant: will or has.... for over a decade?
[04:06] <izinucs> binarymutant, not the same thing..
[04:06] <jlc> cloud computing... is more of internet apps
[04:06] <hosstest> usser: I get the log in
[04:06] <jlc> not the same thing
[04:06] <binarymutant> izinucs, is it not? I thought you paid money and then were able to download whatever program but I haven't looked into it
[04:06] <usser> hosstest, alright use your account to login
[04:06] <hosstest> usser: then?
[04:06] <usser> hosstest, once u get to prompt
[04:07] <usser> hosstest, do sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[04:07] <jlc> and apparently you missed the word FREE
[04:07] <scientes> my linux compiles all fail in postinstall line 1186
[04:07] <izinucs> binarymutant, oh.. yea.. the cloud has all the programs available.. like a store.. pay money.. download.. install.. run.. like I said. not the same thing..
[04:07] <usser> hosstest, once u did that do sudo mkdir /home/backup
[04:08] <usser> hosstest, sudo cp -R $HOME /home/backup
[04:08] <binarymutant> izinucs, i dunno it sounds just like a proprietary synaptic
[04:08] <hosstest> usser: Tells me that gdm is already running and that is it aborting
[04:08] <soundprizm> Hello... I'm having a problem with my WLAN card on my laptop (PCI)  It is not recognized with lspci.  I opened the laptop up and re-inserted the card.  Still nothing...  Anyone have any ideas, or a channel that could help?
[04:08] <usser> hosstest, just do that sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop again
[04:08] <RenzoreK> I have a mouse with a button on the side, and I want to assign this button to the "area zoom" feature in Compiz so I can make reading easier. How do I find out what button this is assigned to? (It will not assign if I click it when the editor is open)
[04:09] <hosstest> usser: Okay, then what?
[04:09] <usser> hosstest, once u did that do sudo mkdir /home/backup
[04:09] <usser> hosstest, sudo cp -R $HOME /home/backup
[04:09] <usser> hosstest, this will backup your settings and whatever files u have
[04:09] <droopsta915> binarymutant: the file looks the same.
[04:09] <greenhog> how do i setup dns nameservers? i cant connect to any remote host..
[04:09] <usser> hosstest, just make sure u have enough space on the harddrive
[04:10] <Louis> dumb question, because i really should know which version of ubuntu i just installed... but is tehre a way to determine the version via CLI?
[04:10] <binarymutant> droopsta915, ? are you sure?
[04:10] <usser> Louis, lsb_release -a
[04:10] <hosstest> usser: what was the cp command again?
[04:10] <usser> hosstest, sudo cp -R $HOME /home/backup
[04:11] <binarymutant> droopsta915, what happens if you remove /ssh ?
[04:11] <Ikyn_> So, recently I upgraded my ATI mobility drivers from the Synaptic. When I rebooted it gets put into low-graphics mode, and won't boot to the GUI. Is there a way I can revert back to the original drivers using the LiveCD / rootshell prompt?
[04:11] <hosstest> usser: copying atm
[04:12] <Ikyn_> XORG gives me the error : "(EE) No input driver/identifier specified"
[04:12] <usser> hosstest, cool
[04:12] <Louis> usser: thanks
[04:12] <JohnWittle> So... I have a CLI question that i've been too embaressed to ask
[04:12] <hosstest> usser: am I going to have to re-install Ubuntu?
[04:12] <JohnWittle> when I hit "ping google.com" and accidently forget to set a parameter to end it
[04:12] <usser> hosstest, no
[04:12] <JohnWittle> what exactly do I do to get it to stop?
[04:12] <droopsta915> binarymutant: should i remove it from the same file?
[04:13] <Ikyn_> crtl+c
[04:13] <usser> hosstest, shouldnt
[04:13] <JohnWittle> oh
[04:13] <greenhog> to browse the web..is there anything else i need to do besides entering dns names servers into resolv.conf?
[04:13] <Louis> how on earth did i install hardy heron... lolwut?  I upgrade by "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" correct?
[04:13] <JohnWittle> lol
[04:13] <binarymutant> droopsta915, well don't remove it, but do you have a /ssh file or folder?
[04:13] <hotdog003> JohnWittle: Control + C
[04:13] <hosstest> usser: what is my next step after it gets done copying?
[04:13] <gaelfx> I am having problems with compiz-core, every time I try to redownload it and install it, I get the same error: http://pastebin.com/d67d6818c
[04:13] <jlc> Ikyn_: try and boot into rescue mode
[04:13] <Ikyn_> jlc: done
[04:13] <jlc> Ikyn_: edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[04:13] <hotdog003> Louis: No, use update-manager instead.
[04:13] <jlc> and change Driver "fglrx" to "vesa"
[04:13] <JohnWittle> Yeah< i realize now :D
[04:13] <JohnWittle> and i feel pretty stupid
[04:13] <droopsta915> yes
[04:14] <hektic> I have a question
[04:14] <jlc> Ikyn_: vi or nano, not sure what you are familiar with
[04:14] <hotdog003> !help > me
[04:14] <Louis> hotdog003:  this is ubuntu server
[04:14] <Louis> no GUI
[04:14] <usser> hosstest, right now next step will destroy all your data so make sure everything backed up do du -h $HOME and du -h /home/backup the numbers it gives should be roughly the same
[04:14] <binarymutant> droopsta915, did you add it because by default there shouldn't be one
[04:14] <izinucs> usser, did that command get the . files too?
[04:14] <droopsta915> binarymutant: no i didnt
[04:14] <Ikyn_> how do I boot into rescue mode? my options are recovery mode, and memtest
[04:15] <Guest71804> quit
[04:15] <droopsta915> sorry i dont have a ssh file that i know about
[04:15] <hektic> Can i install games from one ubuntu cd onto my pc running a different version of ubuntu
[04:15] <usser> izinucs, yes
[04:15] <hosstest> usser: okay, still copying, what is the du command?
[04:15] <jlc> sorry
[04:15] <Louis> how do i upgrade from 8.04. to 8.10 on the command line?
[04:15] <jlc> Ikyn_: recovery
[04:15] <usser> hosstest, du shows how much space a certain folder occupies
[04:15]  * b3lorix is away: Gone to Bed, ill be back
[04:15] <jlc> several differnt distro's call it something else... :)
[04:15] <hosstest> usser: going out on a limb here, disk usage?
[04:15] <binarymutant> droopsta915, where'd you get the disc? because that would worry me. But even so could you pastebin .xsession-errors found in your home folder?
[04:16] <Ikyn_> My recovery mode = 6 options - Resume normal boot, clean, dpkg, fsck, root, and xfix
[04:16] <usser> hosstest, yep
[04:16] <hektic> how can i do this i tried the package mananger but is ends up downloading off line that takes forever
[04:16] <Ikyn_> none of them are "boot into recovery mode"
[04:16] <droopsta915> one second
[04:17] <jlc> Ikyn_: title		Ubuntu 8.10, kernel 2.6.27-7-generic (recovery mode)
[04:17] <Ikyn_> yep
[04:17] <yesitsme> hello
[04:17] <Ikyn_> I'm in that menu right now
[04:17] <jlc> Ikyn_: you dont have that when you boot up
[04:17] <hosstest> usser: Have you seen these symptoms befor, where the mouse stopped grabbing items, and the Update Manager wouldnt allow you to update because of that?
[04:17] <jlc> ok, well choose that and hit enter
[04:17] <Ikyn_> done
[04:17] <hosstest> usser: still copying btw.
[04:17] <usser> hosstest, yea i remember something like that
[04:17] <jlc> Ikyn_: are you familiar with vi or nano?
[04:18] <Ikyn_> negative
[04:18] <jlc> hurm
[04:18] <hosstest> usser:  Do you have any idea why it happened in the first place?  And how I can avoid it from happending again>
[04:18] <usser> hosstest, my bet is compiz
[04:19] <jlc> Ikyn_: try typing this in
[04:19] <jlc> Ikyn_: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
[04:19] <jlc> when you get to a command line
[04:20] <Ikyn_> k
[04:20]  * b3lorix is away: Gone to Bed, ill be back
[04:20] <keyhack> if I use ubuntu 8.10 to create a Live USB thumbdrive, am I able to boot that drive and also make changes?
[04:20] <Ikyn_> ok
[04:20] <Ikyn_> jlc: now reboot?
[04:20] <Louis> how do i upgrade to a new distribution on the command line?  is it apt-get dist-upgrade?
[04:20] <jlc> Ikyn_: what did it do?
[04:21] <JohnWittle> keyhack: yes
[04:21] <jlc> say done or reconfigured or something
[04:21] <hosstest> usser: okay, what was the du command you wanted me to issue.  Copying is complete.
[04:21] <JohnWittle> keyhack: it works just as well, just a bit slower
[04:21] <usser> hosstest, du -h $HOME
[04:21] <usser> hosstest, du -h /home/backup
[04:21] <Louis> i'm running ubuntu server 8.04 if that matters
[04:21] <usser> hosstest, numbers should be roughly the same
[04:21] <Ikyn_> jlc: overwriting possibly-customized config file
[04:21] <Ikyn_> it's done
[04:21] <jlc> Ikyn_: type this in
[04:21] <keyhack> JohnWittle: ok yeah, just wanted to be able to change the settings, new drivers, apps, etc. I realize it'll be a bit slow, but this is just going to hold the OS for a media PC I'm putting together
[04:21] <Neconide> I'm having some horrible trouble with ubuntu.
[04:21] <jlc> grep Driver /etc/X11/xorg.conf

[04:21] <hosstest> usser: yes, theuy match
[04:22] <JohnWittle> keyhack: Yeah, it'll be fine. A bit faster than running it off the liveCD, though not much, and much more... useable :D
[04:22] <Ikyn_> jlc: it didn't do anything
[04:22] <Neconide> Sigh
[04:22] <Loti> what do i need to play .rm files
[04:22] <jlc> ok
[04:22] <hektic> Can I install games form one version of ubuntu (a cd) to a newer version on my pc without using a package mananger? (everytime i try it downloads the packages and that would take forever)
[04:22] <Neconide> Loti
[04:22] <JohnWittle> Loti: Just grab teh CCCP and run it in Wine.
[04:22] <keyhack> JohnWittle: excellent, thanks! everything arrives tomorrow so I'm psyched :-)
[04:22] <usser> hosstest, cool now do sudo rm -rf $HOME/*
[04:23] <binarymutant> hektic, yes with the sudo dpkg -i command
[04:23] <jlc> Ikyn_: try reboot, if that doesn't work, you should be able to remove /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[04:23] <hosstest> usser: okay
[04:23] <Loti> um  id rather run it natively
[04:23] <jlc> Ikyn_: back that file up first though
[04:23] <Neconide> Hey usser can I have a moment of your time
[04:23] <usser> Neconide, sure
[04:23] <jlc> Ikyn_: cd /etc/X11 ; cp xorg.conf xorg.conf.orig ; rm xorg.conf; reboot
[04:23] <jlc> dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
[04:23] <JohnWittle> keyhack: Yup. My dad just rigged up a system where he runs a Coax cable from Time Warner straight to a linux box with a octo-raid setup and uses the linux box as a DVR and a cable box
[04:23] <Vinceman> can anybody enter the room #ubuntu-nl and tell the admin my ban has last long enough?
[04:23] <usser> hektic, you need aptoncd
[04:23] <hosstest> usser: done
[04:23] <Loti> !real
[04:24] <jlc> its been awhile since I've done that, it might just remove and detect on next boot, so go ahead and reboot first
[04:24] <binarymutant> hektic, you'll have to download the .deb first though from like packages.ubuntu.com or something
[04:24] <usser> hosstest, cool now make sure its clean do ls $HOME
[04:24] <keyhack> JohnWittle: cool, yeah, I built a $222 Boxee system, so can't wait to play around with that
[04:24] <usser> hosstest, that should give u blank
[04:24] <JohnWittle> Haha, it'll be good
[04:24] <droopsta915> binarymutant: i cant find the error file,
[04:24] <Vinceman> hosstest, now we need a Vinceman: done
[04:24] <gaelfx> I am having problems with compiz-core, every time I try to redownload it and install it, I get the same error: http://pastebin.com/d67d6818c What can I do to fix this problem?
[04:24] <Neconide> Ubuntu won't recognize my linksys dual-band wireless-n usb network adapter, and it won't pick up any networks. I'm dual booting ubuntu 8.0.4 with vista, and I have minimal experience with linux... I used to run backtrack 3 (bleh) without a problem. I can work perfectly with windows no matter how much it sucks but I can't seem to figure this out.
[04:25] <hektic> i ment with the package mananger i need to point the source to the cd not the online servers
[04:25] <hosstest> usser: nothing was displayed with ls $HOME
[04:25] <binarymutant> droopsta915, try vim ~/.xsession-errors
[04:25] <usser> hosstest, cool now try sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start
[04:25] <Neconide> Think you can help me usser?
[04:25] <binarymutant> hektic, its under settings->repositories in synaptic
[04:25] <trevor> I've got a small question.  My laptop's colors seem all washed out, and some colors produce odd red or blue lines.  Does that mean that my Graphics Controller is going bad?
[04:26] <hektic> ok cool i will give that a try
[04:26] <binarymutant> droopsta915, it might not be there though
[04:26] <Ikyn_> jlc: Thanks. It's booting up now
[04:26] <izinucs> trevor, or no configured correctly
[04:26] <jlc> anyone use gnome-main-menu (slab) from suse/novell
[04:26] <jlc> Ikyn_: yw, hopefully you get a desktop ;)
[04:26] <usser> Neconide, sorry... i wouldnt know anything about linksys wifi adapters, my suggestion is try intrepid livecd cause every new release adds more hardware support. chances are intrepid might support it
[04:26] <binarymutant> droopsta915, honestly I would reinstall, /ssh shouldn't be there unless you put there yourself
[04:26] <hektic> i think i got it thanks for the help
[04:27] <trevor> izinucs, It appears to be getting worse with time, so I don't think that it could be a configuration issue.  It may be, but how would I check?
[04:27] <headcheese_> usser: mouse is still effed
[04:27] <jlc> bbl
[04:27] <binarymutant> put it* there
[04:27] <usser> headcheese_, argh
[04:27] <darkbishop_> bebal
[04:27] <Vinceman> you are all from Romania because other people would be nuts to be awake so early
[04:27] <izinucs> trevor, not sure just throwing suggestions out there.
[04:27] <_mak> can i mount my /home in the /var/home?
[04:27] <Ikyn_> jlc: I do not. But I do have different errors at least - (EE) Unable to locate/open config file  -- (EE) open /dev/fb0: no such file or directory
[04:27] <droopsta915> binarymutant: can someone get remote access if i didnt set it up for that?
[04:27] <headcheese_> usser: think it might be gnome-do?  or something that is starting up?
[04:28] <mwilson_> hey guys..   how the heck to you changes the prefs on individual screen savers????   the previewer/selector doesn't seem to have any selectors for this and I know a few of these things have config modules.
[04:28] <chaqui1> what folder can I find the applications in?
[04:28] <usser> headcheese_, might be gnome... u said your update failed at some point
[04:28] <jonny_> Can someone do me a favour and tell me how to install kpilot. I can't find it in synaptic and other people seem to be able to. Am I going mad? Do you have it?
[04:28] <jonny_> (I do have Universe enabled and refreshed)
[04:28] <usser> headcheese_, go back to CTRL+ALT+f1 and finish update
[04:28] <Neconide> Ubuntu won't recognize my linksys dual-band wireless-n usb network adapter, and it won't pick up any networks. I'm dual booting ubuntu 8.0.4 with vista, and I have minimal experience with linux... I used to run backtrack 3 (bleh) without a problem. I can work perfectly with windows no matter how much it sucks but I can't seem to figure this out. Does anyone think they can help me, or is this a lost cause?
[04:28] <usser> headcheese_, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
[04:28] <headcheese_> usser: how?
[04:28] <binarymutant> droopsta915, I'm not sure, but if thats there and you didn't create it, there could be other things wrong
[04:28] <headcheese_> usser: okay
[04:29] <trevor> mwilson_, You don't.  Gnome doesn't allow you to change settings, because it might be too confusing...
[04:29] <extor> Is there an swf flash file player besides swfdec? I am looking for something which has a progress bar that you can use to advance forward or go back to different parts of the video
[04:29] <droopsta915> thanx for the help, appretiated very much
[04:29] <raven> extor, use VLC
[04:29] <raven> extor, it can do anything
[04:29] <Neconide> usser: oh sorry I didn't see what you said before, thanks for the suggestion.
[04:29] <hosstest> usser: please list the command again.  I cant scroll up
[04:29] <extor> raven, VLC croaks on this swf
[04:29] <extor> raven nope
[04:30] <raven> extor, KMPlayer?
[04:30] <extor> lemme try that
[04:30] <usser> hosstest, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
[04:30] <raven> extor, i find that KMPlayer can do the few things VLC doesnt for me
[04:30] <mwilson_> trevor:  YOu've got to be kidding me......
[04:30] <woli> has anybody expirienced slow openoffice?
[04:30] <raven> yeah, its based on java
[04:30] <raven> its always slow..
[04:30] <woli> when i open big documents i cant scroll smoothly
[04:30] <woli> ah...
[04:30] <mwilson_> trevor: so there's no way to turn on sound for SKYROCKET for my son and his buds?  yeesh.
[04:30] <woli> is that i saw some reviews of people that actually said it wasn't slow at all
[04:31] <woli> they said it was as fast as msword
[04:31] <raven> depends what u call slow,
[04:31] <raven> lol
[04:31] <raven> yeah, it is
[04:31] <raven> and MSword is slow
[04:31] <raven> :p
[04:31] <FloodBot2> raven: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[04:31] <yell0w> is there a youtube-dl for dailymotion ?
[04:31] <woli> well, msword is not slow...
[04:31] <trevor> mwilson_, You can use X Screensaver settings, rather than the gnome supplied ones.  And, no, I'm not kidding.  That's one of the BIG problems most people have with Gnome.
[04:31] <Loti> word is prefetched
[04:31] <woli> i mean, on openoffice i cannot scroll smoothly when operating with big documents, like 10 pages
[04:32] <Loti> if you just want word

[04:33] <mwilson_> :)
[04:33] <mmcji> when i am asked for the: "Root and postmaster mail recipient" during install, do I put a regular linux user here?
[04:33] <hosstest> usser: yes
[04:33] <_2> does anyone know if it's a bash thang, or a ubuntu thang, that bash doesn't play nice with home dir set to drwxrwxrwx ?

[04:34] <Neconide> lala_lala please refer to this Ubuntu won't recognize my linksys dual-band wireless-n usb network adapter, and it won't pick up any networks. I'm dual booting ubuntu 8.0.4 with vista, and I have minimal experience with linux... I used to run backtrack 3 (bleh) without a problem. I can work perfectly with windows no matter how much it sucks but I can't seem to figure this out.
[04:34] <Neconide> woops
[04:34] <_2> someone maybe ?
[04:34] <darkdeeper> dont think anyone in woindows
[04:34] <Neconide> http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
[04:34] <Neconide> there you go
[04:34] <FloodBot2> Neconide: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[04:35] <andre_pl> I just built myself a custom kernel from upstream and it all went well, but now I'd like to patch in a driver, how can I do this without having to recompile EVERYTHING?
[04:35] <woli> its funny, people at the windows channel spend their time talking about linux...
[04:35] <raven> cuz all the SMART windows users use linux too
[04:35] <Neconide> lolz
[04:35] <raven> :p
[04:35] <raven> im one of them
[04:35] <raven> i know..
[04:35] <koops> im having problem with intel gma video card and compiz on intrepid, is that a xserver problem or what? its very unstable, i mean intrepid!
[04:35] <FloodBot2> raven: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[04:35] <jonny_> can anyone please try and install kpilot and tell me whether it works, I'm trying to work out if I am going mad. 'sudo apt-get install kpilot' would try to do it - I don't mind if you cancel the installation - I just want to know if it can find the package

[04:36] <ech0dish> it seems to be completely random
[04:36] <_2> andre_pl you can build just the kernel  or you can build just the/a module/s
[04:36] <mixed-_-> anyone here ever played urban terror on ubuntu?
[04:36] <raven> ech0dish, buy a new keyboard? :D

[04:38] <woli> mixed-_-: what do you mean with freezed?
[04:38] <darkdeeper>  ech0dish; can u define ur problme.i dont quite understand..
[04:38] <raven> im a big supporter of piracy, but not in this channel :p
[04:38] <Neconide> I'm tired of people asking dumb questions.
[04:38] <usser> headcheese_, im not sure whats up. try different desktop environment.
[04:38] <mixed-_-> woli:  freeze games where the object of the game is ito freeze all of your opponents
[04:38] <LF|Irssi> What's with all the windows questions? Is this not a Linux channel?

[04:39] <ech0dish> kernel has been patched for packet injection
[04:39] <_2> raven don't support piracy.  support freedom.
[04:39] <Neconide> Can anyone help me with some wireless adapter issues I'm having for ubuntu 8.0.4
[04:39] <dig_> the problem is my dvd rom is not working, so I need to make an ISO file.
[04:39] <tallmtt> I just bought a new Acer - I would like to backup the original windows partition to a backup drive for later restoration use - can I use a simple "cp -r /mnt/win /mnt/backupdrive" to do it?
[04:39] <hosstest> usser: what was the name of the package again?
[04:39] <ech0dish> but this issue is new, been working with the patched kernel for about 6 months no issues
[04:39] <Neconide> _2 how would I have all my music without good old piracy?!
[04:39] <usser> hosstest, lxde
[04:39] <darkdeeper>  ech0dish; ur using 8.04 i presume??
[04:39] <ech0dish> yes
[04:39] <ech0dish> believe it might be related to compiz
[04:39] <ech0dish> am removing now
[04:39] <raven> why do ppl stay with old LTS versions in a noncorporate environment... gah...
[04:39] <koops> hardy is still more stable than intrepid! why?
[04:40] <_2> Neconide learn to play guitar :)))
[04:40] <Louis> dig_ try bittorrent, they have a bunch of untouched .iso images there
[04:40] <Louis> you'll still need a valid key, or course
[04:40] <raven> <3 intrepid
[04:40] <darkdeeper>  ech0dish; then stop compiz..
[04:40] <raven> it fixed everything
[04:40] <hosstest> says it cannot find package lxde
[04:40] <mixed-_-> woli:  no, i mean freeze games are team death match games where your team freezes the opponents by fragging them, your teammates can thaw you by standing still next to you for about 3 secs... welll never mind, i have quake 3 and i cant get to any of the freeze games
[04:40] <raven> mixed-_-, they have that in CS:S too..
[04:40] <darkdeeper>  ech0dish; try just using text mode for a while.. stop ur gdm.. if its okey then must be something wrong with the gui thing
[04:40] <Neconide> Tarek what did you want?
[04:40] <mixed-_-> raven, what's CS:S????
[04:40] <Neconide> It's perfectly ok to speak to me here :)
[04:40] <darkdeeper> raven: csi?
[04:41] <usser> hosstest, what version of ubuntu u're using?
[04:41] <dig_> I have the original xp cd, so wonder how to make an ISO in ubuntu
[04:41] <raven> mixed-_-, counterstrike:source
[04:41] <hosstest> usser: Hardy
[04:41] <ech0dish> only change the system has seen is a few features i added from compiz
[04:41] <darkdeeper> raven: i cant even get cs 1.6 to play here
[04:41] <mixed-_-> raven but is counterstrike free and open source?
[04:41] <usser> hosstest, hm maybe its not in hardy... is your internet connection fast?
[04:41] <ech0dish> yeah i could use terminal for a while
[04:41] <raven> mixed-_-, nope, but it's cheap and works good on wine
[04:41] <ech0dish> good idea
[04:41] <_2> dig_   dd if=/dev/cdrom of=file.iso
[04:41] <woli> mixed-_-: i wish
[04:41] <chubs> raven: because upgrading costs time and bandwidth
[04:41] <hosstest> usser: yeah
[04:41] <raven> darkdeeper, i got l4d working on wine here, but only 10-18fps
[04:42] <ech0dish> how do i completely remove compiz though
[04:42] <dig_> cool
[04:42] <woli> raven: CS:S?? No it does not!!
[04:42] <mixed-_-> raven:  i have my quake 3 CD and it's scratched and cant install it on windows, im not paying for these games unless i know they can work perfectly on linux
[04:42] <ech0dish> i did, apt-get remove compiz
[04:42] <usser> hosstest, ok so do sudo apt-get install xfce4
[04:42] <ech0dish> but isn't there more packages?
[04:42] <raven> woli, yes it does
[04:42] <raven> :p
[04:42] <woli> raven: with which wine version?
[04:42] <raven> start it with -dxlevel 81 and disable AA
[04:42] <raven> with 1.1.8
[04:42] <woli> raven: and with 1.1.7?
[04:42] <raven> dunno
[04:42] <raven> probably works fine
[04:43] <woli> raven: whats AA ?
[04:43] <darkdeeper>  ech0dish; i think u batter try text mode 1st to identify ur problem... if its really the compiz fault.. then u can proseed with the purgeing
[04:43] <raven> antialiasing
[04:43] <nibsa1242> why does CD/DVD creator folder take 20min to "calculate file size" before it can burn
[04:43] <woli> raven: do you get absolutely the same performance than that of the game running under windows?
[04:43] <ech0dish> aight
[04:43] <ech0dish> will enter terminal mode
[04:43] <darkdeeper> nibsa1242, something wrong with ur cdrw maybe
[04:43] <raven> woli, under lower settings, but yes
[04:43] <ech0dish> but have uninstalled compiz already
[04:43] <chubs> ech0dish: how long has this problem been affecting you?
[04:43] <_2> dig_ be aware that some "copy protection methoods" used by the software maker may include burning bad spots on the origenal disk to cause it to "fail" to copy correctly.   there are things that can circumvent that.
[04:44] <ech0dish> just about a week or so
[04:44] <dzup> Linux alex 2.6.27-7-generic #1 SMP Tue Nov 4 19:33:20 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux whatis the name of my ubuntu. feisty. gutsy. hardy  ???
[04:44] <ech0dish> last thing i installed was compiz and that was a little over a week ago
[04:44] <andre_pl> _2: thanks, I think i need to do a total recompile though :( theres more than just the module apparently.
[04:44] <nibsa1242> darkdeeper: this is before it starts writing
[04:44] <mixed-_-> i downloaded 700MB in less than 10 minutes, wow!
[04:44] <gaelfx> I am having problems with compiz-core, every time I try to redownload it and install it, I get the same error: http://pastebin.com/d67d6818c what can I do to fix this problem?
[04:44] <Battosai> hey
[04:44] <ech0dish> i was thinking at first slowkeys settings but was wrong
[04:44] <woli> raven: i cannot download 1.1.8 for it makes my pc freeze on WoW
[04:44] <_2> mixed-_- k.   welcome.
[04:44] <hosstest> usser: dude, I really appreciate you trying to help me out.  But I really dont have all night to trouble shoot this.  I am going to just reload with Winblows.  I am a gamer and unfortunatly, getting games to work right in Ubentu has been more than a chore.  Not only that, Ventrilo doesnt work and I have been trouble shooting that over a week now.  I am just fed up.  All I want to do is play my games and surf the fucking web.  I mig
[04:44] <hosstest> ht try out OSX>
[04:44] <chubs> ech0dish: but it was working fine under ubuntu prior to that? or have you only had ubuntu for a week or so?
[04:44] <darkdeeper> i downloaded house in just 10 minit
[04:44] <raven> woli, have more than one version installed at once then
[04:45] <dig_> _2: cool
[04:45] <woli> raven: how?
[04:45] <ech0dish> no have had this system set up for about 6 months or so
[04:45] <DavidCanarias> I keep being told I have an overburning problem when trying to record with Brasero, does anyone know why? I am trying to put about 250mb on a CD of 700mb, its not logical??
[04:45] <chubs> ahh, well that's certainly a good indicator
[04:45] <raven> woli, compile from source and dont make install, just make and then run it from that dir with absolute path
[04:45] <woli> raven: ahh.. too complicated for me...
[04:45] <hosstest> usser: Thanks a ton for the help thus far.
[04:45] <usser> hosstest, OSX is even worse than linux gaming-wise... but yea i can understand your frustration.
[04:45] <hosstest> usser: Gonna call this one a defeat.
[04:45] <woli> raven: gonna try cs:s under 1.1.7
[04:45] <raven> woli, it probablly will work on that v. tho yeah
[04:45] <ech0dish> what other sessions are there besides gnome and kde?
[04:45] <hosstest> usser: at least the games I want to play are supported by OSX.
[04:46] <nibsa1242> darkdeeper: basically... add files to cd/dvd creator folder ---> click write to disk ---> wait 20min to calculate size---> start burning
[04:46] <kelledin> heh
[04:46] <ech0dish> i know fluxbox too but want something inbetween flux and gnome perhaps
[04:46] <Neconide> Can anyone help me with some USB wireless adapter issues I'm having with Ubuntu?
[04:46] <kelledin> upgrading from Gutsy to Hardy...via SSH...through VPN...on a SunFire 280R.
[04:46] <hosstest> usser: again, you were the only that stepped up to help out.  THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!  I really mean it.
[04:46] <kelledin> wish me luck, ppl ;)
[04:46] <NBrepresent> hello everyone... i just experienced a crash of historic proportions... had to manually run fsck and now X won't start... where do i start?
[04:46] <darkdeeper> nibsa1242, did u copy from cd to cd or just some file... i think maybe the copywrite thing
[04:47] <chubs> ech0dish: xfce is probably what you're looking for
[04:47] <usser> hosstest, no problem sorry it didnt work out
[04:47] <JohnWittle> So... I'm on a PowerPC computer. I do not want to install linux on this computer. I want to boot off of a Linux PPC LiveCD and use the USB Ubuntu Install tool that is available on the LiveCD, but as far as I can tell the PPC CD is only the installer.
[04:47] <Roasted> My flash drive does not work in Ubuntu. It did three days ago, but as of today, it doesn't. It is FAT32 and works fine in Vista and XP but not in Ubuntu. Even Ubuntu Hardy LiveCD it doesn't respond. Gparted and sudo fdisk -l show nothing about it. Any ideas, anybody?
[04:47] <hosstest> usser: not a prob.  Later bud.
[04:47] <ech0dish> is that whats on xubuntu?
[04:47] <Neconide> usser helps like 50 people at the same time o_o it's pretty incredible
[04:47] <darkdeeper> NB, startX or service gdm start
[04:47] <darkdeeper> what is xubuntu?
[04:47] <darkdeeper> !xubuntu
[04:47] <NBrepresent> darkdeeper: forgot to mention that one problem is that my user/pass is not working
[04:47] <raven> xfce ubuntu
[04:47] <nibsa1242> darkdeeper: its about 4.28 GB of random files... it just takes forever to caculate space
[04:47] <ech0dish> xubuntu, kubuntu...
[04:47] <chubs> ech0dish: yes
[04:48] <droopsta915> how can i configure an xsession file error
[04:48] <_2> ech0dish xubuntu uses xfce4  yes.
[04:48] <ech0dish> kool
[04:48] <darkdeeper> what the fish is xfce?
[04:48] <ech0dish> so just apt-get install xfce
[04:48] <JohnWittle> Anyone?
[04:48] <kelledin> hm.  considering how flaky our VPN gets about midnight, I'll have to chicken out of that
[04:48] <_2> darkdeeper a desktop
[04:48] <NBrepresent> darkdeeper: for some reason when i try to log in at the TTY it just presents me with the login again, as if i've entered them wrong.. when i intentionally enter incorrect credentials though, i get an 'incorrect' message.
[04:48] <ech0dish> anyone know the name of the package?
[04:48] <raven> xfce?
[04:49] <ech0dish> xfce4 perhaps?
[04:49] <raven> xfce-desktop perhaps
[04:49] <chubs> ech0dish: they're all the same though. just installing xfce and setting it as your default DE would suffice
[04:49] <darkdeeper> NB have u try it in other tty...
[04:49] <ech0dish> yeah it's 4
[04:49] <chubs> bleh, sorry, i'm getting lag over here for some reason
[04:49] <tyso1> anyone, im working on ubuntu 810 and im looking for a dock bar that i had on 804 i think its called avant window navigator for some reason i cant fin it in the package manager. any suggestions?
[04:49] <kelledin> ech0dish: normally just apt-get installing xubuntu-desktop will get it in place for you
[04:49] <ech0dish> it's goin with xfce4
[04:50] <Roasted> My flash drive does not work in Ubuntu. It did three days ago, but as of today, it doesn't. It is FAT32 and works fine in Vista and XP but not in Ubuntu. Even Ubuntu Hardy LiveCD it doesn't respond. Gparted and sudo fdisk -l show nothing about it. Any ideas, anybody?
[04:50] <JohnWittle> Anyone know how I can boot Ubuntu off of a CD on a PPC processor?
[04:50] <usser> tyso1, sudo apt-get install avant-window-navigator
[04:50] <NBrepresent> darkdeeper: i just did a hard reset, and selected a different kernel in grub and now it seems to be booting up normally.... that was scary!
[04:50] <ech0dish> hope it works well, gnome is kinda sluggish on my old lappy
[04:50] <kelledin> as it is, i'll wait till i'm in tomorrow to kick off that Hardy upgrade
[04:50] <raven> JohnWittle, u'd need a PPC version..
[04:50] <Neconide> Can anyone help me with some USB wireless adapter issues I'm having with Ubuntu?
[04:51] <darkdeeper> NB, its just like windows.boot with last know working configuration... something like tat
[04:51] <tyso1> usser thanks! also for the codecs and flash isnt it sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-packages ?
[04:51] <Bluescales> Ddoes anybody know what package I need to grab to do kernel module development?
[04:51] <Roasted> ubuntu-restricted-extras I believe
[04:51] <darkdeeper> !vpn
[04:51] <JohnWittle> raven: Yes, the only PPC iso I could find is install-only, can't actually boot ubuntu off of it.
[04:51] <tyso1> roasted thanks!
[04:51] <darkdeeper> how do i use vpn in 8.1?
[04:51] <Roasted> no problem :)
[04:52] <usser> tyso1, yep. also
[04:52] <LF|Irssi> 8.10*
[04:52] <Neconide> Can anyone help me with some USB wireless adapter issues I'm having with Ubuntu?
[04:52] <darkdeeper> do i relly need to install pptpd?
[04:52] <usser> !medibuntu | tyso1
[04:52] <_2> !b-e > Bluescales
[04:52] <Roasted> Anybody have any idea what's up with my flash drive????
[04:52] <raven> JohnWittle, oic... u could try unetboot to make a bootable USB of the ppc iso
[04:52] <chubs> JohnWittle: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=427714
[04:52] <_2> Bluescales you'll need that for sure.
[04:52] <tyso1> usser ill check it out thanks
[04:52] <Louis> is there a way to reset ubuntu to all it's defaults (including installed software) without reinstalling?
[04:52] <Bluescales> _2: need what for sure?
[04:52] <droopsta915> how can i unlink a file?
[04:53] <_2> Bluescales see your pm window
[04:53] <Roasted> Is there any way to run fsck off of a LiveCD on a device, even if that device isn't detected by Ubuntu?
[04:53] <Bluescales> build-essential? I have that
[04:53] <_2> yes
[04:53] <JohnWittle> chubs: There is no live CD, just the text installer
[04:53] <Bluescales> modules.h isn't in /usr/include/linux/ ><
[04:53] <DavidCanarias> Why does my server not recognize some URL's. Is there anything I can do
[04:54] <Bluescales> so I assumed I need another package or something
[04:54] <chubs> JohnWittle: there is for 8.04, you'll probably have to wait a while for 8.10, but in the meantime you can use 8.04 and upgrade if you'd like
[04:54] <_2> Bluescales b-e and the kernel headers and source is about all
[04:54] <droopsta915> if i edit an error in the xsession-errors file, will that fix the error?
[04:54] <JohnWittle> chubs: Do you know if the USB Flash Drive install tool thing is available on the hardy live cd?
[04:55] <jeettu> In Ubuntu there is any software for audio editing
[04:55] <usser> JohnWittle, no it was included in intrepid
[04:55] <Bluescales> _2: oh, awesome. thanks
[04:55] <chubs> JohnWittle: i've not used it before, but from my understanding it can be used to boot any linux distribution
[04:55] <Neconide> No networks are displayed in my network manager - I'm trying to connect to a wireless network, can anybody help me?
[04:56] <Bluescales> _2: actually, I already have the kernel headers ><
[04:56] <dzup> Linux alex 2.6.27-7-generic #1 SMP Tue Nov 4 19:33:20 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux whatis the name of my ubuntu. feisty. gutsy. hardy  ???
[04:56]  * Bluescales checks other folders for module.h
[04:56] <Bluescales> aha
[04:56] <Bluescales> found it, thanks _2
[04:57] <usser> JohnWittle, but u can look for the package for hardy, the tool is called usb-creator
[04:57] <droopsta915> neconide: system > administartor > hardware drivers, make sure the wireless card is in use, check the box
[04:57] <_2> Bluescales welcome
[04:57] <JohnWittle> usser: I'm unfamiliar with installing packages from a liveCD. Is it even possible?
[04:57] <JohnWittle> Grr...
[04:57] <JohnWittle> lol
[04:57] <Neconide> droopsta915, thank you, I will reboot and try this. (I'm dual booting ubuntu and vista)
[04:57] <jhalstead> update-alternatives "x-www-browser" has been corrupted.  How can I reconfigure this file?
[04:58] <K`zan>  How hard is it to change video cards from nvidia to ATI ?  TIA!
[04:58] <_2> JohnWittle yes it's possable.
[04:58] <Rubin> anyone reccomend a usb wacom style tablet that works well with ubuntu?
[04:58] <droopsta915> ;) no prob
[04:59] <LF|Irssi> K`zan: you sure you want to go with ATI cards in Linux?
[04:59] <raven> Rubin, i havent used it with ubuntu yet but the Wacom Bamboo is quite nice
[04:59] <usser> JohnWittle, yea sure
[04:59] <JohnWittle> _2: What exactly do I do?
[04:59] <JohnWittle> I mean, does it know to DL it to the hard drive?
[04:59] <Rubin> raven, what size do you have?
[04:59] <andre_pl> raven: Rubin the bamboo does work pretty well in ubuntu
[04:59] <usser> JohnWittle, it actually doesnt, entire livecd runs from memory
[04:59] <Rubin> andre_pl, pressure too?
[04:59] <JohnWittle> lol
[05:00] <mankash> how to use serial port in ubuntu
[05:00] <scientes> how do i build ubuntu-restricted-modules for a custom kernel?
[05:00] <JohnWittle> Also, I don't know but i'm pretty sure I won't have internet...
[05:00] <raven> rubin: there's only one size of bamboo unless im mistaken..
[05:00] <_2> JohnWittle you'll have to pass some argurmets to apt/dpkg  the man pages can help with that, if you can read them.
[05:00] <raven> rubin: i think its 4x5
[05:00] <Rubin> raven, oh
[05:00] <JohnWittle> Is there any way I could download the package to my HD right now
[05:00] <andre_pl> Rubin: can't say for sure, its my girlfriends and I'
[05:00] <andre_pl> ve never used it
[05:00] <JohnWittle> and then run it in linux?
[05:00] <Rubin> maybe the bamboo IS the 'small' model.
[05:00] <andre_pl> i know she uses it all the time though, so it can't be that bad ;P
[05:00] <raven> yeah it's certainly a smaller one
[05:00] <pottox> HEKP!!!
[05:01] <pottox> my eth0 just stopped working while I was fixing wlan0
[05:01] <kodokbleduk> anyone know how to install fonts that i've already downloaded in intrepid?
[05:01] <Rubin> thanks andre_pl and raven
[05:01] <chubs> JohnWittle: you could mount your hd under linux
[05:01] <_2> JohnWittle if you are talking about using a running liveCD to install packages on an installed system on hdd   then yes it can be done.     in fact that's exactly what the installer does.
[05:01] <pottox> now I got wlan0 but no eth0
[05:01] <raven> Rubin, np
[05:01] <pottox> sights
[05:01] <droopsta915> if i edit an error in the xsession-errors file, will that fix the error?
[05:01] <pottox> anybody?
[05:01] <bella> Hi all I was wondering how to get nvidia drivers to work.  Every time i put them in it seems to find no screen.  Somewhere i googled suggested that i backup the xorg.conf and then copy it back and I did that but it didnt work either.  In order to get back into X i had to apt-get remove nvidia* any solutions to getting the drivers installed?
[05:01] <genii> pottox: Does: ifconfig                show an eth0 device?
[05:02] <bella> anybody?
[05:02] <Rubin> raven, ahh, they do have sizes on bamboo model. small/medium/large. medium is $200 though.
[05:02] <raven> genii, r u named for the race of ppl in stargate atlantis?
[05:03] <gaelfx> I am having problems with compiz-core, every time I try to redownload it and install it, I get the same error: http://pastebin.com/d67d6818c what can I do to fix this problem?
[05:03] <raven> Rubin, i spent $80 on mine, must be the small
[05:03] <genii> raven: No.
[05:03] <raven> genii, jw
[05:03] <JohnWittle> this would be so much easier if there were just an easy way to put ubuntu onto a flash drive lol
[05:03] <raven> JohnWittle, there is
[05:03] <raven> JohnWittle, that's what i said u shud do earlier
[05:03] <Rubin> small is probly good enough for me
[05:03] <_2> JohnWittle if i read you correctly,  the easiest way to accomplish what you are asking for is, mount your installed system on /mnt and dl your packages "all that are needed" then copy them to /mnt/var/cache/apt/archives   and reboot into the installed system and install the packages just as if you were going to fetch them from the repos.
[05:03] <raven> JohnWittle, u can go from ISO->flash drive
[05:03] <raven> JohnWittle, use unetboot
[05:03] <manguy> What does the s mean in drwxr-s--- ?
[05:03] <JohnWittle> raven: I have to be booted into ubuntu to do that
[05:03] <bella> :( nobody willing to help me?
[05:04] <JohnWittle> i'm on a mac lol
[05:04] <_2> JohnWittle there is an easy way to put ubuntu on a usb stick.
[05:04] <raven> JohnWittle, u can do it on windows
[05:04] <jhalstead> update-alternatives "x-www-browser" has been corrupted.  How can I reconfigure this file? Can someone help please?
[05:04] <raven> JohnWittle, or possibly compile it on mac ;)
[05:04] <chubs> JohnWittle: so mount -t hfs
[05:04] <raven> JohnWittle, http://lubi.sourceforge.net/unetbootin.html
[05:04] <huiger_> 我现在用XCHAT連接的               不知道是不是这里
[05:04] <Rubin> bella, inspect /var/log/X.log.0
[05:04] <JohnWittle> raven: yeah yeah >.< let me go get xcode...
[05:04] <raven> hehe
[05:04] <JohnWittle> lol
[05:04] <yell0w> jhalstead: update-alternatives --config x-www-browser
[05:04] <Neconide> droopsta915: my USB wireless adapter was not displayed
[05:04] <chubs> !cn | huiger_
[05:04] <raven> it's a real bitch having to dl a 1GB iso just to get GCC, JohnWittle
[05:04] <raven> ;/
[05:05] <Neconide> droopsta915: none of my USB devices get recognized, after I tested it.
[05:05] <JohnWittle> lol it took 13 minutes
[05:05] <raven> took me an hour..
[05:05] <raven> wtf connection r u on
[05:05] <Rubin> bella, verify you have an nvidia card. google your model number... etc.
[05:05] <raven> i have 15mbit
[05:05] <JohnWittle> in the past hour i've grabbed the x86 iso, the ppc iso, and the 8.04 ppc iso
[05:05] <JohnWittle> i have 6mbit
[05:05] <raven> and u dl that fast how
[05:05] <JohnWittle> btw the torrent is always, ALWAYS, faster
[05:05] <raven> it is?
[05:05] <JohnWittle> yes
[05:05] <mikmorg1> is there something special i have to do to use regular old xfonts?
[05:05]  * raven rethinks his download schemes
[05:05] <raven> :p
[05:05] <JohnWittle> because
[05:06] <jhalstead> all that does is tell me why file is corrupt, thanks though I'll look elsewhere
[05:06] <JohnWittle> this is just my theory
[05:06] <JohnWittle> they put the torrent on all of their download mirrors
[05:06] <yell0w> raven: rtorrent
[05:06] <yell0w> :)
[05:06] <JohnWittle> so you are downloading simultaneously
[05:06] <iamben> anyone know why the liveusb tool requires a 2G usb drive to store what would otherwise be a 700M cd?
[05:06] <Rubin> bella, also try the troubleshooting section here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia
[05:06] <chubs> stop your complaining, 'twould take me 6
[05:06] <JohnWittle> from all of the mirrors
[05:06] <sf6> anyone have any opinions on using NTFS or EXT3 for the big data partition on a dual-boot (windows xp/ubuntu) system? is ext2 for windows or ntfs-3g for linux more reliable/safer, faster, etc?
[05:06] <JohnWittle> PLUS anyone who happens to be seeding
[05:06] <raven> yell0w, i know rtorrent :p
[05:06] <droopsta915> Neconide: you are using a laptop?
[05:06] <yell0w> raven: do you hug it daily ?
[05:06] <sf6> i've got a big 1tb drive i'm going to partition and format.
[05:06] <raven> JohnWittle, i max my connection out with HTTP tho, by adding each mirror to a downloader prog
[05:06] <raven> yell0w, it hugs ME
[05:06] <raven> :p
[05:06] <_2> chubs six what ?
[05:06] <Rubin> sf6, your wanting to access the partition from both OSes?
[05:07] <Neconide> droopsta915: nope, HP pavilion with amd64
[05:07] <JohnWittle> raven: I don't know why you're so slow, then
[05:07] <JohnWittle> maybe the seeders do make a difference
[05:07] <raven> JohnWittle, 1.85MB/s...
[05:07] <kodokbleduk> anyone know how to install fonts that i've already downloaded in intrepid?
[05:07] <JohnWittle> maybe your ISP sucks really hard
[05:07] <yell0w> raven: ok i think we've veered towards -offtopic
[05:07] <yell0w> lol
[05:07] <Rubin> sf6: ext2 for windows has a problem, which is that its NOT ext3 for windows. it WORKS, but if you modify the disk you loose the journal.
[05:07] <Rubin> sf6: ntfs has a problem that a) if you shutdown windows uncleanly, you cannot even mount it, and b) it doesnt support unix style permissions
[05:08] <droopsta915> Neconide: the hardware drivers are in use, do you see green or red dot?
[05:08] <chubs> JohnWittle: i'd hardly call it a theory
[05:08] <JohnWittle> chubs: most likely it is reality
[05:08] <Neconide> droopsta915: they are not displayed.
[05:08] <raven> Rubin, i put things on my EXT3 from windows just fine and it still works...
[05:08] <chubs> _2: wrong person?
[05:08] <Rubin> sf6: i tried to do that for a while, and finally gave up entirely and now use a fileserver for data which maps with samba.
[05:08] <raven> Rubin, i used some tool...
[05:09] <_2> Rubin and sf6 vfat has a problem too  file size limit
[05:09] <chubs> _2: oh i see, i meant 6 hours-
[05:09] <raven> Rubin, oh and u can mount it, just -o force works fine
[05:09] <raven> Rubin, for ntfs
[05:09] <Neconide> Leave it to Neconide to have a bum ass ubuntu install.
[05:09] <mikmorg1> could someone tell me why when i install xfonts-jmk, i don't see the new fonts listed in any font list? even after running fc-cache -fv?
[05:09] <_2> chubs heh.   six weeks for me.
[05:09] <Rubin> raven, there is a reason they dont have you do that automatically :P
[05:09] <mikmorg1> is there something weird/deprecated about xfonts?
[05:09] <raven> Rubin, bah, and what wud that be? nothing bad happened to me, they just piss me off by not doing it auto..
[05:09] <Rubin> if you have a large data disk, the last thing you want to do is take chances with it
[05:09] <droopsta915> Neconide: sorry, I haven't experienced this so I cant further assist, you. Ask again, someone out there has had the same problem. sorry
[05:09] <JohnWittle> if I'm on a PowerBook G4, will the hardy heron live cd come with enough drivers to use the wireless card?
[05:09] <JohnWittle> or am i fucked?
[05:10] <raven> Rubin, i mount mine like that on a daily basis and always reboot with the reset button
[05:10] <raven> Rubin, no problems.
[05:10] <Rubin> JohnWittle, i'm sure someone has tried it before you. check around google etc and see what they say
[05:10] <Rubin> raven, lack of problems is not proof of stability :P
[05:10] <raven> meh
[05:10] <raven> :p
[05:10] <mib_4xdqy3> any ext4 experts around?
[05:10] <raven> there's an ext4?
[05:10] <raven> wow.
[05:10] <raven> i thot ext3 was still pretty new
[05:10] <Rubin> ext4 is in early alpha
[05:11] <Rubin> its not 'usable'
[05:11] <Neconide> Has anyone experienced the hardware manager not displaying drivers? My wireless USB adapter isn't displayed and won't search for networks.
[05:11] <mib_4xdqy3> it's 'gold' in the next kernel
[05:11] <_2> raven ext3 is not new.
[05:11] <Rubin> Neconide, try googling the model number and 'ubuntu' or 'linux' and see if its even supported
[05:11] <Guest75291> is there no longer a ##freebsd on freenode?
[05:11] <mib_4xdqy3> so I wouldn't consider it not 'usable' any more, but it is new
[05:11] <sf6> rubin: so does it make your ext3 partition into an ext2 partition? or does it just not use the journal, thus being somewhat unsafe?
[05:11] <raven> _2, well there was only ext2, then i didnt use linux much for a few years, then there was ext3..
[05:11] <Neconide> Rubin: it is
[05:11] <Neconide> Rubin: No USB devices are being displayed.
[05:12] <chubs> mib_4xdqy3: this is not the right channel to look for an ext4 expert
[05:12] <Rubin> Neconide, in lsusb?
[05:12] <_2> raven i was using ext3 in 2001 i think.
[05:12] <raven> mib_4xdqy3, perhaps #ext4? or #ext
[05:12] <mib_4xdqy3> chubs:: no one is around on the 'right' channels :(
[05:12] <Neconide> Rubin: yes
[05:12] <raven> mib_4xdqy3, try ##linux
[05:12] <Rubin> sf6: its not unsafe, just requires a fsck
[05:12] <mib_4xdqy3> or answering at least
[05:12] <bella> rubin ty im gonna read that and try to fix it ty for responding
[05:13] <Rubin> bella, wish i could make it easy for you, but trouble like that is one of the hardest things to deal with, if your new to linux :/
[05:14] <rdevabha> #ubuntu-india
[05:14] <Rubin> mib_4xdqy3, my understanding is that ext4 is only ready to be used at all by people that are developers of it. if your trying to troubleshoot a problem you are probably not advised to use it yet at all.
[05:15] <chubs> mib_4xdqy3: ah well, try the mailing lists. i doubt you'll have any luck in here
[05:15] <droopsta915> My startup session is linked to a secure remote connection file in the /usr/share folder, how can I unlink this file?
[05:15] <Neconide> Rubin: my bad, after researching (must of been a typo last time) It's not supported. Should http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6112069 work propperly or do you have any other suggestions for WUSB600N
[05:15] <sf6> Rubin: so does that mean an extremely long wait time for every boot up? Because I have a 160gb hard drive, it takes a long time to fsck that when it does so (though this computer is old, only has ata/66). or alternately forcing it not to fsck, which would be dangerous? that sounds pretty terrible to me.
[05:16] <godsyn> help : I'm wanting to "downgrade" an application (vlc). Is there a way to do so via APT? I'd like to return to 8.6 as 9.x doesn't transcode video nearly as well.
[05:16] <habit> Hello. I've updated to 8.10. How to use guest account?
[05:16] <_2> sf6 only "good" answer is simply "don't reboot"
[05:16] <Rubin> Neconide, i wouldnt follow that unless you kinda know what your doing. your better off researching a bit and spending $20 on one that is supported.
[05:16] <Guest40696> is there a way to sync my ipod with ubuntu?
[05:17] <Neconide> Rubin: well, what do you use?
[05:17] <LF|Irssi> whats the command to see how much hdd space you have left?
[05:17] <Rubin> godsyn, not easily
[05:17] <rdevabha> Hi  Hobbes  , Need a Help   i have a  UID:GID  as   1000:1000    and   i am  not able to create a  directory  under    /
[05:17] <Rubin> Neconide, my laptop has it built in
[05:17] <Rubin> LF|Irssi, df -h
[05:17] <Neconide> :(
[05:17] <LF|Irssi> ty
[05:17] <rdevabha> Hi  ALL   , Need a Help   i have a  UID:GID  as   1000:1000    and   i am  not able to create a  directory  under    /
[05:17] <eightvirtues> so i got a belkin wireless g router so my other computers could share connection, and now opera web browser works slow as crap... anyone got any ideas?
[05:17] <usser> rdevabha, use sudo
[05:17] <Rubin> rdevabha, sudo
[05:18] <godsyn> Rubin can you provide more info? i'm used to not easy (pure CLI here)
[05:18] <_2> !hardware > Neconide
[05:18] <Delvien> anyone else notice that FF is REALLY slow lately?
[05:18] <Rubin> eightvirtues, check your DNS server settings
[05:18] <Jordan_U> rdevabha: Why would you expect to be able to?
[05:18] <eightvirtues> ok, what should they be?
[05:18] <Neconide> ubottu: Thank you.
[05:19] <_2> !bot > Neconide
[05:19] <Neconide> >.>
[05:19] <Neconide> <.<
[05:19] <_2> :)
[05:19] <Rubin> godsyn, if the lower version is available in the repository, you can downgrade by removing it and forcing an install of the other one with dpkg maybe (dpkg -i file.deb) but its unlikely an old version is built with proper dependancies to even work. so then your left compiling it yourself, and compiling VLC is very hard, i have been told.
[05:19] <tyler___b> is there a way to sync my ipod with ubuntu?
[05:19] <godsyn> while it is a pita, i've done it before.. I'll just get to it again :/
[05:20] <Rubin> Gods_gift, you could try getting the 8.x deb source package and building that
[05:20] <_2> !ipod > tyler___b
[05:20] <therealnanotube> Delvien: yes... have you tried ff 3.1b?
[05:20] <droopsta915> My laptop wont login, somehow the session is linked to secure remote access folder in /usr/share. What can I do to unlink or edit a session ?
[05:20] <After_Math> Are cars, planes, telephones considered technology?
[05:20] <Delvien> therealnanotube: no, its beta.. it shouldnt work better than stable.
[05:20] <eightvirtues> ok, i have three dns servers listed
[05:21] <Jordan_U> !offtopic | After_Math
[05:21] <ech0dis1> working good with xfce so far
[05:21] <sf6> is anyone working on an ext3 driver for windows? if anyone knows.
[05:21] <therealnanotube> Delvien: i haven't tried it either, was just curious. :) but yea, my ff3.0.4 is all slow when scrolling when there's a lot of css and floating elements and crap in the page.
[05:21] <Rubin> droopsta915, your question doesnt make a lot of sense to me. can you provide exact error messages your getting, or screenshot or something?
[05:22] <Delvien> therealnanotube: mine "stops responding" whenever i click a link
[05:22] <_2> droopsta915 drop to a console "ctrl+alt+f1" and login there,   use commands to correct the problem.   and switch back to tty7  using "alt+f7" to test the gui login ...
[05:22] <therealnanotube> sf6: there is an ext2 driver, iirc, not sure about ext3
[05:22] <kodokbleduk> anyone know how to install fonts in intrepid?
[05:22] <therealnanotube> Delvien: oh heh, that's even worse.
[05:22] <Jordan_U> !fonts | kodokbleduk
[05:22] <eightvirtues> Rubin, this is about the belkin router and opera runing VERY slow, i checked the dns settings, i have three dns servers listed
[05:22] <Rubin> sf6: there isnt one, at least 6 months ago when i looked into it
[05:22] <Delvien> therealnanotube: yeah, FF is a real big piece of. .. right now
[05:22] <_2> droopsta915 specific commands will depend on specific problem.
[05:23] <Rubin> eightvirtues, are they correct? :)
[05:23] <jordo2323> Does anyone know how to use a PSP with Rhythmbox or another manager successfully?
[05:23] <eightvirtues> one is, the other two i have no idea what they are
[05:23] <sf6> so is the common solution to use ntfs for a data partition among dual booters then?
[05:23] <droopsta915> Rubin: let me get the error the laptop is restarting.
[05:23] <eightvirtues> should i delete the two that i dont recognize?
[05:24] <Rubin> sf6: as I said, i tried to make that dual boot shared partition thing work, and gave up. it can 'work' but i couldnt get it to work without a hassle all the time
[05:24] <kodokbleduk> ubotto, thanks.. but how we install additional font from what i've already download
[05:24] <Rubin> eightvirtues, wouldnt hurt to try
[05:24] <jordo2323> My PSP mounts just fine, but when transferring .mp3 files to it, the PSP system doesn't see them? What's the trick?
[05:24] <ardchoille> who was it that wanted to speed up firefox?
[05:24] <_2> sf6  a more common solution might be to use vfat "fat32"  but you can't put files larger than 2g on it.
[05:24] <mikematic> hi all. Im trying to get to the GRUB edit menu by pressing 'e' during startup of the OS. It wont go. It continues to load on Ubuntu. Am i missing something here ? Please help
[05:24] <sillyn00b> Anyone know of a way to share an encrypted storage partition between Ubuntu and Windows? I need to dual boot and I have a fairly small Hard drive and I need to encrypt my shared partition so that's what raises the question.
[05:25] <sf6> _2: fat32 would be worse than ext2 presumably, which the windows driver fully supports.
[05:25] <Rubin> mikematic, that grub menu is super advanced. if your just trying to change the grub menu, but arent a super commandline guy, thats not where you do it from
[05:25] <_2> sf6 both M$ and linux can fully access vfat natively.  and vfat stands hard reset much better than ext# or ntfs do.
[05:25] <mikematic> Rubin, How do you do it from a command line ?
[05:25] <Rubin> sillyn00b, there are very few tools that can do that cross platform like that
[05:26] <Rubin> mikematic, the file in /boot/grub/menu.1st is what controls that menu
[05:26] <_2> sf6 worse how ?
[05:26] <therealnanotube> sf6: fat32 is the most common fs for a "shared partition". ntfs can work too, now that linux has rw ntfs support, though.
[05:26] <sf6> _2: ntfs is worse for hard reset even with windows?
[05:26] <Rubin> mikematic, what are you up to exactly?
[05:26] <sillyn00b> Rubin: Know the name of one off hand?
[05:26] <seronis> ntfs is better for hard reset than fat32 in my experience
[05:26] <_2> sf6 in my experance,  yes.
[05:26] <sf6> _2: fat32 doesn't support >2gb files. or larger than something like 160gb partitions
[05:26] <Rubin> sillyn00b, trucrypt maybe? my memory is a bit foggy
[05:26] <advorak> does anybody have any experience with fluidsynth? I keep getting the error "fluidsynth: warning: Failed to pin the sample data to RAM; swapping is possible." and keep turning up dead-ends when trying to discover a solution ...
[05:27] <Neconide> anyone know how to get the WUSB600N working?
[05:27] <mikematic> Tnx Rubin. That file explains it.
[05:27] <habit> Hello. I've updated to 8.10. How to use guest account?
[05:27] <_2> sf6 correct.   and if those constraints are a problem.   might i sujest using ext2
[05:27] <Buster_Hymen> I'm using ubuntu server so I'm stuck with the command line... how do I make a particular app start at boot?
[05:27] <droopsta915> Rubin: when i type my username and password at login screen i get a remote connection prompt.
[05:27] <gobuntu> hey guys does anybody hellp me to install Need for Speed in Ubuntu..
[05:27] <gobuntu> plsss
[05:27] <Rubin> habit, right click the account/power icon in upper right corner, click guest session
[05:28] <_2> sf6  note NOT ext3  but ext2.
[05:28] <gobuntu> i really appreciate bout the answer
[05:28] <Rubin> droopsta915, did you maybe select remote x session in one of the gdm menus?
[05:28] <sf6> _2: ntfs support in linux sounds like it is fairly good, so that sounds better than ext2 maybe?
[05:28] <habit> Rubin, I have tryed that, but I can see only blank black screen.
[05:28] <duckabolo> [SOUND] - Hi i've just installed 8.10 now but have no sound after the login drumming..one please help?. could any
[05:28] <therealnanotube> gobuntu: it's a windows-only game right? so probably need to use wine. check the compatibility list on winehq.org first.
[05:28] <Rubin> gobuntu, check the wine compatibly list
[05:28] <_2> sf6 not in my openion.   but it's your openion that counts on your hardware :)
[05:29] <Rubin> sf6: probably
[05:29] <gobuntu> ahh  tnx guys
[05:29] <sillyn00b> Rubin: Yea I've been looking into truecrypt but I haven't found a linus version
[05:29] <gobuntu> im new in Ubuntu so i thought
[05:29] <gobuntu> hehehe
[05:29] <ironrose> does anyone know how to get sound workin on virualbox?
[05:29] <Rubin> sillyn00b, huh?? http://www.truecrypt.org/downloads.php  its right on that page
[05:29] <sf6> thanks Rubin, _2, and others. I will have to think about this...
[05:29] <metbsd> i wanna install kubuntu with network installation
[05:29] <metbsd> how to do it?
[05:30] <habit> ironrose, it must be working "out of the box", did you have checked vbox options?
[05:30] <droopsta915> Rubin: maybe, im not sure, i know wherethe secure remote access file is located, and I know the start session is somehow linked to this folder.
[05:30] <ironrose> yes
[05:30] <gobuntu> thnx  a lot therealnanotube and rubin whwe
[05:30] <Rubin> droopsta915, iv never heard of a 'secure remote access file'
[05:30] <ironrose> i tried ALL card options and stuff in vb settings
[05:30] <_2> sf6  i think there is rieserfs support for windows too,  you might look into that.
[05:30] <seronis> habit:  you can also optionally create a new normal user and then  'sudo gedit /etc/shadow'  from the command line and manually change the new password to  'U6aMy0wojraho'
[05:31] <droopsta915> if i tell u where it is, can u go check itout?
[05:31] <therealnanotube> gobuntu: no prob. :)
[05:31] <habit> ironrose, there are one checkbox swithcing on sound and two options - driver and controller.
[05:31] <ardchoille> !gksudo | seronis
[05:31] <Rubin> droopsta915, it might help me to understand what it is if you tell me the specifics, yeah.
[05:31] <ironrose> yes, those. i tried all combinations for driver and controller
[05:32] <Neconide> help: Does anyone have experience with getting the WUSB600N model working in Ubuntu?
[05:32] <seronis> ardchoille:  what does it do differently?   i've not had one problem yet with just  'sudo gedit'
[05:32] <ardchoille> seronis: read the webpage ubottu linked :)
[05:32] <djhash> hey.. gedit wont open files if they are for example binary or basically not plain text files.. I want a program that can either be a hex editor or will show me ascii representation of the binary..
[05:32] <habit> seronis, maybe you can advice me where I can read more about it?
[05:32] <_2> seronis sudo does not set the environment sufficiently for graphical applications
[05:33] <droopsta915> Rubin: ok, /usr/share/xsessions, the secure remote connection, click on it and this is what I get at the login when i start my laptop.
[05:33] <seronis> habit:  google for  'U6aMy0wojraho'   and it will give you articles on the subject
[05:33] <Rubin> djhash, check out gvim .. but read a tutorial before you dive in. its a bit steep to learn
[05:34] <ytoox> I am using banshee 1.4 on ubuntu intrepid and I got an mtp device connected to it. The device is recognized properly and sizes are right. But the problem is that on the display within banshee I can only see 150 artists when there are plenty more
[05:34] <ytoox> can you help me?
[05:34] <Rubin> droopsta915, did you paste the exact error message somewhere?
[05:34] <therealnanotube> djhash: or check out ghex for a hex editor...
[05:34] <duckabolo> [SOUND] - Hi i've just installed 8.10 now but have no sound after the login drumming.. does anyone know how to fix this?
[05:35] <Rubin> duckabolo, did you run through the sound troubleshooter docs?
[05:35] <duckabolo> i've just installed xchat so that i could find the solution :)
[05:35] <ardchoille> !sound | duckabolo
[05:35] <droopsta915> Rubin: let me login failsafemode and ill pastebin the error.
[05:35] <Rubin> droopsta915, ok
[05:35] <droopsta915> Rubin: I will be named meyos, in the laptop
[05:36] <Neconide> help: Does anyone have experience with getting the WUSB600N model working in Ubuntu?
[05:36] <habit> Rubin, is it possible to fix guest user @ user-swither applet?
[05:36] <Rubin> habit: fix?
[05:37] <a1len> Hi guys. Is there anything that you type into the terminal to erase unused app files?
[05:37] <bullgard4> Disk Mounter applet shows the label of /dev/sda6 as 'WinLinux' but why does GParted not show this label also?
[05:37] <habit> Rubin, it's not working right now. What name must be new passwordless account without creating new one on that list?
[05:37] <a1len> that you installed with apt-get
[05:37] <seronis> on the topic of sound,  anyone have experience with the 2nd set of sliders under the alsa setting randomly muting itself ?
[05:37] <Rubin> habit: sorry I dont know how its set up. mine just worked all by itself
[05:38] <Rubin> a1len, apt-get clean, or apt-get autoremove
[05:38] <a1len> Rubin: Thanks :D
[05:38] <Rubin> a1len, depending on your meaning :)
[05:39] <wyrless2002> habit: mine didn't work either, I think there was a fix in Proposed software packages
[05:39] <a1len> Rubin: I'm trying to set up an MRA, and the first run I messed up the scripts, so I want to uninstall the MRA and all the files associated with it.
[05:39] <jordo2323> Does anyone know how to transfer music to a PSP in Ubuntu?
[05:39] <jordo2323> It mounts fine, but won't see music transferred....
[05:39] <Rubin> a1len, yeah. uninstall it first, then do the autoremove one.
[05:39] <mwhit74> amarok doesn't open any suggestions
[05:39] <therealnanotube> mwhit74: open something else. :)
[05:40] <Rubin> mwhit74, try running it from a terminal, maybe it will print something
[05:40] <skylarS> how to copy all files from with dir A to dir B from command line?
[05:40] <therealnanotube> skylarS: "cp -r"
[05:40] <djhash> ok.. so why does ubuntu auto mounts my thumbdrive even I specifically told it to unmount it... I unmount and it remounts.. I unmount and it remounts.. how am I supposed to properly use gparted!!!!
[05:40] <Rubin> skylarS, many ways. you should read a bunch of man pages, but cp -a, or rsync -a are first to spring to my mind
[05:40] <Safe> I know this is not an mplayer help room, but does anyone know how Mplayer reads playlists? Like .m3u, textfiles, etc?
[05:41] <Rubin> djhash, sounds like a bug
[05:41] <Rubin> djhash, its not supposed to do that
[05:41] <mwhit74> Rubin: how?
[05:41] <wyrless2002> jordo2323: are they named .mp3?
[05:41] <mrg_> i should be able to ping a fresh ubuntu 8.10 box from another machine on the network right?
[05:41] <Rubin> mwhit74, applications, accessories, terminal. type amarok
[05:41] <nkriz> hello all. just installed 8.10 on an older system. starts up to login screen, allows logon, then goes to a blank background then never fills in any icons etc...   any thoughts on what i can change?
[05:42] <Rubin> mrg_, yes, theres no ping blocking firewall by default or anything
[05:42] <K`zan> LF|Irssi: No, I'm not, think I found something agp that will do better than the 6600GT/128M I have now.  Still thinking I might be wiser to save the $$$ for a PCIE system.  BUT for what is left in AGP, the ATI cards have better performance (so it seems).
[05:42] <therealnanotube> nkriz: try running in safe gfx mode ?
[05:42] <jordo2323> wyrless2002, yep....all .mp3....the device mounts just fine, but when yo copy files to that partition, it doesn't see anything...
[05:42] <Rubin> nkriz, often that blank screen means it was having trouble writing to your home direcotry
[05:42] <nkriz> i tried the failsafe gnome mode, did the same thing
[05:42] <skylarS> ty Rubin , therealnanotube
[05:43] <nkriz> rubin: the home directory is on a second partition. could that be the problem?
[05:43] <Rubin> nkriz, or maybe /tmp
[05:43] <Rubin> nkriz, sure could be
[05:43] <mrg_> Rubin:  and there's something running that returns the ping by default too right?
[05:43] <ghaith> Rubin, i think gnome gives a warning when /home is nto accessible
[05:43] <mwhit74> Rubin: i get nothing from the terminal
[05:43] <blak> Is anyone using eee-control, and has had an issue with it saying the "performance" setting is "unavailable"? This was made by Grigori Goronzy...
[05:43] <Rubin> mrg_, thats built into the kernel
[05:43] <Rubin> mwhit74, hrm
[05:43] <PUNISHER> hi all
[05:43] <Rubin> ghaith, it depends...
[05:43] <nkriz> rubin: i can get to a terminal. can i create a home directory on my own and have it work?
[05:43] <nikitis> Question:  I'm trying to use gparted.  And i have an extra drive i'm trying to install windows on.  I want to format it to NTFS.  On my laptop I can format a drive to ntfs with gparted, but on my desktop, it's greyed out for ntfs.  What's the deal and how can I fix it?
[05:44] <mwhit74> Rubin: you advised me to run amarok in the terminal and nothing happened
[05:44] <Rubin> nkriz, you can at least check things out and make sure they are there, and writable etc
[05:44] <Rubin> mwhit74, sorry, i meant 'hrm i dont know' not 'hrm what are you talking about'
[05:44] <wyrless2002> jordo2323: have you seen or tried this? http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-812514.html
[05:44] <therealnanotube> nkriz: not gnome safe mode, but safe graphics mode in X (i.e., using the vesa video driver). but check the stuff rubin suggests too.
[05:44] <mwhit74> Rubin: oh sorry
[05:45] <mrg_> Rubin: any ideas why i can't ping this machine then?  i used "ifconfig" and got my ip addy.  then i'm using another box to ping it, and the ping fails.  both have internet connections working.
[05:45] <ghaith> nkriz, was there a linux system before ubuntu? with the same username
[05:45] <nkriz> i think i'm going to reinstall with /home on the same partition. I think i messed up my permissions when i did that. thanks all!
[05:45] <Rubin> mrg_, youll have to describe your network more i guess
[05:45] <meyos> Rubin: its droopsta915-here is the pastebin-http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/74649/
[05:45] <mwhit74> Rubin: its been working on and off since i installed it, and ideas
[05:45] <jordo2323> will try
[05:45] <nkriz> ghaith, it's been linux since the beginning, but the last install was debian
[05:45] <jordo2323> wyrless2002, will try
[05:47] <mrg_> Rubin: it's just two machines connected to the same router box (dinky standard dsl box).  i will check if they can see each other when both run windows i suppose to see if it's a physical problem.
[05:47] <Rubin> meyos, where did lines 1 through 5 come from exactly? you get some kind of text box when you try to log in?
[05:47] <Rubin> mrg_, have both try to ping the router
[05:47] <ghaith> ok go in terminal and try to give access to your user then..i used to have problems with home directory when i switched distros, but usually i got warnings about inaccessible files
[05:47] <ghaith> @nkr
[05:48] <mrg_> Rubin: hm, good idea. the linux box fails to ping the router.  i have two ethernet ports on it and only one is configured/being used.  maybe it's trying to ping out of the wrong one?
[05:48] <Rubin> mrg_, ifconfig should tell you if theres a link
[05:49] <Rubin> mrg_, though, i guess thats driver dependant...
[05:49] <mrg_> Rubin: i know it sees the router somehow bc it connects fine to the internet via that router. i'll check ifconfig output.. not sure how to see if there's a link
[05:49] <Rubin> oh
[05:49] <meyos> Rubin: After I try logging in I get the remote access box, when i hit enter, i see the error message. these are the details.
[05:50] <Rubin> mrg_, hmm. paste the output of ifconfig, and route -n on both boxes to pastebin.ca
[05:50] <Rubin> meyos, before you log in, there is an option menu.
[05:50] <Rubin> meyos, did you look in there?
[05:51] <mrg_> Rubin: http://pastebin.ca/1262065
[05:51] <meyos> Rubin: what should i look for?
[05:51] <mikebot> Does anyone know why my audio won't work in firefox even though I have no other programs open using audio? (Or does anyone know how I can test to see why this is the case?)
[05:51] <bullgard4> Disk Mounter applet shows the label of /dev/sda6 as 'WinLinux' but why does GParted not show this label also?
[05:52] <mrg_> Rubin: that's the linux box, the other pings the router fine (and is running winxp)
[05:52] <PUNISHER> Hi everyone!
[05:52] <PUNISHER> how are yoU?
[05:52] <PUNISHER> men!!
[05:52] <Rubin> meyos, mine has a 'remote xdmc' option
[05:52] <Rubin> meyos, sorta feels like you toggled that by mistake
[05:52] <mikebot> Or does anyone know anything pertaining to using sound in firefox?
[05:52] <Rubin> mrg_, winXP may not respond to pings by default...
[05:53] <Rubin> mrg_, why does eth1 have an IP address?
[05:53] <mrg_> Rubin: i'm trying to ping ubuntu box from winxp
[05:53] <meyos> Rubin: going back to droopsta915 user, ill see if i can change the session.
[05:53] <droopsta915> Rubin: be back after restart.
[05:54] <mrg_> Rubin: i'll try removing all config from that unused eth port, ok.
[05:54] <paul68> Hi you have the possibility to add your ip table execution script in your interfaces file and then you should be able to excecute the script however this doesn't seem to work when you use a server (or most likely I do something wrong) can someone help me out with this
[05:55] <sohue> 66
[05:55] <Rubin> paul68, its been a really long time since i played with that. I'm pretty sure it works. have you looked at the docs for the interfaces file?
[05:56] <Rubin> mrg_, are you using dhcp on those? or hard-coding them?
[05:56] <sohue> hi
[05:56] <sohue> 212
[05:56] <mrg_> Rubin: i did "ifconfig eth0 down".. just making sure this is ok  ?
[05:56] <sohue> 234234324
[05:56] <sohue> 234234
[05:56] <FloodBot2> sohue: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[05:57] <blak> Anyone using eee-control on 8.10 having a problem with the performance settings being available?
[05:57] <Rubin> mrg_, that is ok, but generally i'd do 'ifdown eth0' then edit /etc/network/interfaces, then 'ifup eth0' .. thats the 'debian way' (and ubuntu is based on debian)
[05:57] <mikebot> What is the minimum amount of time I should wait before re-asking a question?
[05:57] <Rubin> mikebot, i'm not sure on the rules, but if you dont get an answer, i would try posting on the forums
[05:57] <paul68> Rubin: I read this article http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/linux-security/43065-iptables-start-boot-debian3-1-a.html see last post however I work with the terminal so I don't have network manager
[05:58] <mikebot> Rubin: The forum is just so slow.. do you knwo anythign about audio in ubuntu?
[05:59] <Rubin> paul68, did you make the script you created executable with chmod?
[05:59] <binarymutant> mikebot, are you using alsa?
[05:59] <Rubin> mikebot, only a little. i remember seeing a thing on the ubunt site with really in-depth audio troubleshooting guide though. or did you try that already?
[05:59] <mikebot> binarymutant: I'm not sure--I don't know what that is.
[06:00] <paul68> Rubin: yes I did
[06:00] <mikebot> Rubin: I have not tried that.
[06:00] <mrg_> Rubin: /etc/network/interfaces ... just change address to 0.0.0.0 or what?  how about the line "auto eth0"  ?
[06:00] <Rubin> paul68, so in the terminal, if you do 'ifdown eth0' and then 'ifup eth0' does it print any errors?
[06:00] <binarymutant> mikebot, sudo apt-get install alsa-base alsa-utils
[06:01] <Rubin> mrg_, to make it dhcp?
[06:01] <mikebot> binarymutant: What is that?
[06:01] <Rubin> mrg_, you'd change 'static' to 'dhcp' and delete all the address, netmask, network, etc configuration lines
[06:01] <mrg_> Rubin: nah, just to have eth0 inactivated and make sure it's not getting in the way
[06:01] <binarymutant> mikebot, it installs alsa, the linux sound server
[06:01] <Rubin> mrg_, oh. remove eth0 auto line, and comment out everything to do with it
[06:01] <binarymutant> mikebot, just type it into a terminal
[06:02] <mikebot> binarymutant: alsa-base is already the newest version.
[06:02] <mrg_> Rubin: ok thanks. will try that.
[06:02] <mikebot> binarymutant: Same for the other.
[06:02] <binarymutant> mikebot, type alsamixer into a terminal since it's installed
[06:02] <droopsta915> Rubin: no I get the same box, not in xdmc, go to /usr/share/xsession and open the remot connection so you can see what box im talking about
[06:02] <mikebot> binarymutant: Got it.
[06:03] <binarymutant> mikebot, if it says MM it's muted, 00 if it's not
[06:03] <mrg_> Rubin: comment = "#" ?
[06:03] <Rubin> droopsta915, in /usr/share/xsession/ there are 2 shortcut files. they are not ment to be run directly
[06:03] <mikebot> binarymutant: Says 00
[06:03] <rand0mabo> does anyone know of an html editor/web-development tool (preferably something close to as powerful as dreamweaver?)
[06:03] <Rubin> rand0mabo, vim
[06:03] <Rubin> rand0mabo, :P
[06:04] <droopsta915> i might have to reinstall if i dont fix it
[06:04] <Rubin> droopsta915, try moving that file to another name
[06:04] <Rubin> droopsta915, dont re-install. worst case you can move your home directory away and create an empty one
[06:04] <mikebot> binarymutant: My audio works--I'm listening to something in VLC right now... It's just that it doesn't work from firefox. Even if there is no other application open playing audio.
[06:05] <rand0mabo> a shitty answer is still a shitty answer - even with a :P
[06:05] <rand0mabo> :D
[06:05] <Rubin> mikebot, when you say firefox, you mean flash?
[06:05] <mikebot> Rubin: Yes, a flash plugin in firefox, sorry.
[06:05] <Rubin> rand0mabo, its :P because i know you wont like it. but its a real answer, because do web dev and i use it almost exclusively.
[06:06] <droopsta915> Rubin:des ubuntu have a restore point option?
[06:06] <binarymutant> mikebot, ok I'm trying to find where you can change the sound in firefox, if your using flash it sometimes screws up, but not everytime
[06:06] <mrg_> Rubin: that did it... somehow that unused eth port was causing the pings to fail... i wonder why that would have anything to do with it since all my communication is going (correctly) through the other ethernet port.. ?
[06:06] <Rubin> mikebot, if you search on trouble with pulseaudio and flash plugin, you may have some good hits. mine worked out of the box though.
[06:06] <Rubin> droopsta915, no
[06:06] <mikebot> binarymutant: Thank you.
[06:06] <mikebot> Rubin: Thanks.
[06:06] <rand0mabo> Rubin, i know full-well what your intention was.. I'm glad you take the time to code by hand if it serves your purpose.
[06:06] <Compiz_WOOT> Does anyone know if the airplane plugin is built into ACSM? I am using Compiz-Fusion and trying to find the airplane plugin but don't know where to download it and Google isn't showing much... Didn't see anthing about it in the ACSM manger
[06:06] <rand0mabo> thanks for your help
[06:06] <lby> Anyone known CPUS programing ?
[06:08] <Rubin> rand0mabo, theres nothing for linux nearly as full featured as dreamweaver.  bluefish, aptana, seamonkey's wysiwyg i think called kompozer
[06:08] <binarymutant> mikebot, have you tried restarting firefox?
[06:08] <rand0mabo> Rubin, Quanta Plus and Nvu no good?  they seem to be at the top of lists i'm finding on google but *shrug*
[06:08] <mikebot> binarymutant: Yes.
[06:09] <Rubin> rand0mabo, i owned a real commercial copy of quanta at one time. its okay.. but no wysiwyg and hasnt really been improved lately
[06:09] <rand0mabo> fair enough
[06:09] <Rubin> and, if you dont need a wysiwyg, then vim may be more reasonable answer yet ;)
[06:10] <rand0mabo> I'm still quite new to ubuntu - not at all ready for command line web design yet
[06:10] <rand0mabo> heh
[06:10] <mikebot> binarymutant: Ah you know what, I think I'm able to just download the file from the site, so I guess I'm alright.
[06:10] <ardchoille> rand0mabo: I use gedit to write all my web pages, it has some nice features including syntax hilighting
[06:11] <binarymutant> sorry I couldn't help, this stuff used to be a lot easier in firefox 2
[06:11] <Rubin> rand0mabo, ahh. let me share a lil story with you about vim. http://www.mit.edu/~yandros/doc/tc-hack-zen.html
[06:12] <rand0mabo> haha i don't intend to achieve zen-like states while coding. thx.. my life expands a bit beyond internets
[06:12] <mikebot> binarymutant: No worries, thanks for trying, I really do appreciate it.
[06:12] <mikebot> binarymutant: Have a good night. Cheers
[06:12] <duckabolo> hi, does anyone know how i can find out the alsa version, (command etc)
[06:13] <mikebot> Rubin: Thanks again, goodnight.
[06:13] <binarymutant> mikebot, did you try killall -9 esd yet?
[06:13] <Rubin> rand0mabo, read past the hippy bs in there. the point is that in vi, you can move around and work without taking yoru hand off the keyboard and your eyes off your code; this results in much higher productivity once you get the muscle memory. anyway off topic for here, but dont discount it so easily.
[06:13] <duckabolo> rubin: it seems my alsa isn't in the supported list :(
[06:13] <Rubin> duckabolo, oh no
[06:14] <Rubin> duckabolo, er. what? alsa is a sound driver framework isn't it?
[06:14] <Dabbu> how to install GTK+ theme engine ?
[06:15] <rand0mabo> Rubin, I meant nothing by it.  We're just sort of going way beyond my needs/intentions when getting into that.  But I do understand, and appreciate your input
[06:15] <duckabolo> rubin: my soundcard isn't supported by alsa
[06:15] <duckabolo> rubin: i've checked http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Matrix:Main  and ich9 isn't there
[06:15] <Daisuke_Ido> there are sound cards not supported by alsa?
[06:16] <Rubin> rand0mabo, elaborate on your needs some more?
[06:16] <kindofabuzz> anyone use startupmanager?
[06:16] <unr3a1> hey all
[06:17] <Rubin> duckabolo, hmm. i'm not real knowledgable about sound, sorry
[06:17] <unr3a1> I am trying to run UT2004
[06:17] <unr3a1> and I am getting an error
[06:17] <duckabolo> rubin: i did an lspci and the following audio ...  http://paste.ubuntu.com/74655/
[06:17] <duckabolo> rubin; that's fine
[06:17] <unr3a1> it says that there is an error when trying to load shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5: no such file or directory
[06:18] <unr3a1> does anyone know what could have caused this error?
[06:18] <kindofabuzz> install libstdc++?
[06:18] <unr3a1> I tried, but apt-get said that the package could not be found
[06:18] <Rubin> unr3a1, that means you do not have the binary library on the system which that program was compiled to need
[06:19] <kindofabuzz> it's there
[06:19] <kindofabuzz> i just searched, sever versions of libstdc++
[06:19] <kindofabuzz> several
[06:19] <rand0mabo> Rubin, my needs need no elaboration.  In my original question by simply stating, "something along the lines of dreamweaver", i think would suffice to say i'm walking on very very simple lines.
[06:19] <Rubin> unr3a1, try: apt-get install libstdc++5
[06:19] <unr3a1> well, apt-get doesn't have it.  means I am gonna have to compile from source...
[06:19] <unr3a1> rubin: hold
[06:19] <kindofabuzz> aptitude install libstdc++5
[06:19] <unr3a1> that worked.
[06:19] <kindofabuzz> unr3a1, apt does have it
[06:19] <unr3a1> how do you search the servers for the file?
[06:20] <rand0mabo> Rubin, no worries, i can tell you're just quite adept with all this stuff and probably don't even remember the simple-side to linux :P
[06:20] <rand0mabo> just way way way above my head :)
[06:20] <Rubin> rand0mabo, yes but failing dreamweaver clone, are you doing strict html dev? do you need the live preview and/or wysiwyg aspects of it? or is it the menu/button macro stuff you want?
[06:20] <Rubin> rand0mabo, come on i'm not that far in the clouds
[06:20] <rand0mabo> Rubin, to be honest, i like just copying & pasting and seeing atleast an immediate idea of what it'll look like finished - without having to save, upload, test
[06:20] <rand0mabo> Rubin,  haha that's not at all what i'm saying.. it's more than i'm near the bottom of the ocean :P
[06:20] <kindofabuzz> unr3a1, in synaptic hit search
[06:21] <rand0mabo> <-- win xp user pretending to figure out linux by using ubuntu
[06:21] <rand0mabo> avoiding command lines at all costs
[06:21] <Rubin> rand0mabo, try out seamonkey composer
[06:21] <kindofabuzz> command line, aptitude search <file>
[06:22] <rand0mabo> Yeah I just installed it - it pretty much suits my needs.  Perhaps when I feel like stretching my limits a bit, i'll look at vim a bit more in depth.  the little bit i read when googling it blew my mind so....
[06:22] <Rubin> rand0mabo, oh, and theres another i forgot about ,called 'screem' but i can't remember if it had previewing
[06:22] <ardchoille> rand0mabo: I used to be that way until I learned that command line is faster and more powerful, now I prefer command line work :)
[06:22] <kindofabuzz> rand0mabo, you should attempt to learn, you will get to the point to do things which is alot quicker than gui's
[06:22] <unr3a1> ok
[06:22] <unr3a1> I got it to run
[06:22] <Rubin> rand0mabo, you'll turn to the dark side eventually, i'v no worries :P
[06:23] <unr3a1> however, there is no sound, and when I go into the display settings, it looks are fubarred up...
[06:23] <unr3a1> and I got this at the terminal:  http://rafb.net/p/gQoGo626.html
[06:23] <rand0mabo> haha the time i'd spend in the learning curve wouldn't be worth it in the long run.. i just make simple little websites for fun.
[06:23] <rand0mabo> i have yet to actually upload one
[06:23] <kindofabuzz> anyone use startupmanager?
[06:23] <kindofabuzz> rand0mabo, use gedit
[06:23] <rand0mabo> apparently you missed the beginning of the conversation
[06:23] <rand0mabo> but thanks
[06:24] <Rubin> gedit is graphical :P
[06:24] <rand0mabo> oh pardon me then
[06:24] <kindofabuzz> huh?
[06:24] <kindofabuzz> no, it's a text editor
[06:24] <unr3a1> what is XiG-SUNDRY-NONSTANDARD extension?
[06:24] <rand0mabo> kindofabuzz, i knew that.  hence the underlying smugness of my reply
[06:25] <photomaniac> how do you install a gtk engine that comes as a tar.gz
[06:25] <Rubin> unr3a1, sorry you may have to try a UT forum or something for that
[06:25] <kindofabuzz> if you can't do html in an editor before you go to an IDE, you shouldn't even be doing it, the web has enough crappy sits already. just my 2 cents
[06:26] <Rubin> photomaniac, for a theme?
[06:26] <Rubin> photomaniac, system->appearance, theme tab, install...
[06:26] <unr3a1> hmm
[06:26] <unr3a1> it doesn't seem that UT runs in a full screen mode
[06:26] <chubs> rand0mabo: yeah screem works well
[06:26] <unr3a1> causing the app to still have my appbar at the top to display
[06:27] <photomaniac> Yes. a friend of mine is new to ubuntu and he is trying to install a maclooking theme that requires the aqua gtk engine and he found it and is trying to install
[06:27] <Rubin> photomaniac, ohhhhhh
[06:28] <Rubin> photomaniac, does the site you got it from not have some instructions?
[06:29] <photomaniac> also just for personal clarification how do you install a program/application that is a tar file.
[06:29] <photomaniac> he didn't find any instructions on the theme. i havn't looked at it yet.
[06:29] <Rubin> photomaniac, tar files are like zip files. you untar them with the 'tar' command in the terminal, or with the archive manager
[06:30] <Rubin> photomaniac, for example, if it was a tar.gz (or tgz) its also compressed, you'd do: tar -xzf myfile.tgz
[06:30] <unr3a1> alright, well, thank you for all the help
[06:30] <Rubin> and that would put its contents into wherever you were when you ran it
[06:30] <photomaniac> k thanks. what are the xzf options that you listed.
[06:31] <kindofabuzz> man tar
[06:31] <ardchoille> photomaniac: x=extract, z=gzip compression, f=file
[06:31] <Rubin> photomaniac, BUT, i think for some gtk theme stuff, it accepts the theme in the tar without extracting it. so you will have to research it (or maybe someone else knows better than me)
[06:31] <lby> 这里大家都在说英语
[06:31] <shirish> how do I find my Xserver version?
[06:32] <shirish> X --version doesn't work :(
[06:32] <ardchoille> xorg -version
[06:32] <photomaniac> Rubin, thanks for the info. i have also seen instructions for some of the programs that have you ./configure and set a prefix and then use the make command and then the make install command. what is the diffence and which is the best way to do it.
[06:32] <binarymutant> shirish, you do apt-cache showpkg xserver-xorg
[06:32] <binarymutant> could* do
[06:32] <n8tuser> shirish  xdpyinfo
[06:33] <shirish> netuser: thank you
[06:34] <darkdeeper> y do my pidgin alwiz chesh
[06:34] <Rubin> photomaniac, that process with the ./configure is 'compiling'
[06:34] <sparq__> I have a problem with mysql(lamp). I seem to have forgotten my root password. how can I reset it?
[06:34] <Rubin> photomaniac, you almost always want to not do that, but instead find the ubuntu specific package for things instead. its easy to break your system if you compile and install things yourself as root (unless you kinda know what your doing)
[06:34] <Firefishe> I have an Asus G50V laptop with an Intel 8281l (ICH9) sound chip.  I have only a small amount of static in my headphones.  Volumes are up all the way and I've configured everything to the nines.  I'm at a loss.
[06:34] <darkdeeper> reinstall ur lamp
[06:35] <sparq__> reinstall? :X
[06:35] <Rubin> sparq__, do you have data in mysql you care about?
[06:35] <sparq__> no
[06:35] <sparq__> I dont
[06:35] <mrg_> Rubin: well, thanks for the help :)  can finally get some sleep.
[06:36] <photomaniac> Rubin, do most programs in the form of tar need compiling or do some of them do it with the tar command. sometimes its hard for me to find the packages or programs i want in a .deb
[06:36] <Rubin> sparq__, apt-get remove --purge mysql-server; then delete /var/lib/mysql, then install it again.
[06:36] <darkdeeper> Firefishe, got the same problem... nvr actually tot tat would be a problem to... i just ignore it.. dont use it to play movie tho.. but if someone help. would be nice tooo
[06:36] <sparq__> kk
[06:36] <Rubin> photomaniac, tar is just a collection of files
[06:36] <sparq__> Rubin: thanks
[06:36] <Firefishe> darkdeeper:  I need my sound ;)
[06:36] <Rubin> photomaniac, .deb is a package for debian or ubuntu
[06:36] <Rubin> photomaniac, .tar is completely generic can be anything else
[06:37] <ardchoille> photomaniac: you really should check the repos before compiling, the repos for Ubuntu are huge and the app you want might be in there; apt-cache search app_name
[06:37] <darkdeeper> most tar program need to be compile
[06:37] <darkdeeper> well actually all of them
[06:37] <droopsta915> what should my window login be set to, xscript or gnome?
[06:37] <Rubin> darkdeeper, i have a tar here with photos from a party. that doesnt make any sense.
[06:37] <Rubin> droopsta915, gnome
[06:37] <photomaniac> Rubin, i have been trying to get my card reader going so that i can use it to access my military site and almost all of the packages are installable through the package manager but i havent found how to configure them with out compiling from a tar.
[06:38] <darkdeeper> Rubin, its not a program dude....
[06:38] <Rubin> photomaniac, that may be an activity you'll have to get pretty familiar with linux to accomplish
[06:38] <darkdeeper> photomaniac, how bout if we try it for u...hehehe
[06:39] <Rubin> photomaniac, how are you on the commandline? :)
[06:39] <photomaniac> Rubin, thanks for those apt options i always thought that the apt-get install would find any available packages you ask for.
[06:39] <darkdeeper> photomaniac, yeah rubin is right.. sometimes tar dont have compile or make or make install... so this is something you have to exprience ur self how to get past it
[06:40] <photomaniac> im ok with command line. i can find my way around directories and with instruction can usually figure out most commands. my problem is understanding the man pages for the commands i am trying to work with.
[06:40] <Rubin> most source code is distributed in a tar. but you cant say that most tars are source code.
[06:40] <Rubin> photomaniac, man pages are like wine. you kinda grow into them with practice
[06:41] <darkdeeper> what the fish
[06:41] <n8tuser> tar is just the newer form of ar or archiving with additional features of compressions and additional stuff
[06:41] <darkdeeper> man page like wine?u mean the wine program or the wine that u drink..
[06:41] <Rubin> photomaniac, (by that i mean, i understand, i remember hating them when i started out, but now i love them and really appreciate their breivity)
[06:41] <Rubin> darkdeeper, drink :)
[06:41] <darkdeeper> Rubin, not tats make a lot of sense...
[06:41] <Dominik2> is there a "better" alternative to wine?
[06:42] <darkdeeper> Dominik2, what type of wine.. drink or program?
[06:42] <photomaniac> Rubin, I understand the basics of them but i tend to have trouble understanding the syntax examples they have.
[06:42] <Rubin> Dominik2, crossover office is a commercial version based on wine that has slightly more support for some microsoft applications
[06:43] <Rubin> photomaniac, only way to learn is to read em a few times and ask someone.
[06:43] <Rubin> Dominik2, you can also run windows in a box on your desktop (or seamless) using virtualbox
[06:43] <darkdeeper> Dominik2, virtualbox or vmware
[06:44] <arpi> Hi I have installed 8.10 with wubi strangely DVD playback, rhythmbox visualization and totem visualisation are all jerky. (I have all the necessary codecs for dvd) Has anybody ideas?
[06:44] <n8tuser> photomaniac -> you can star with ar to get a feel
[06:44] <n8tuser> start*
[06:44] <Rubin> wow. iv been using *nix for 10+ years and I never heard of 'ar' till just now.
[06:44] <photomaniac> i just now found out this irc thing and it is great. i am one of the few people in my dorm and school who uses linux and finding someone who knows command line well and has the time to explain the man pages
[06:44] <Rubin> thanks n8tuser :)
[06:44] <photomaniac> what is ar
[06:45] <n8tuser> photomaniac -> ar for archiving, you can man ar  to get more detailed explanation
[06:45] <andiboy> hello everybody
[06:45] <Dominik2> thanks guys, but do I really have to run the entire OS? all I really wanna do is get the MS suit to work, and wine isn't to great about that
[06:45] <andiboy> someone here familiar with pam.d?
[06:46] <photomaniac> n8tusr, thanks i will look into it.
[06:46] <Rubin> Dominik2, crossover runs word, excel, and powerpoint from office 2003 fairly well.
[06:46] <photomaniac> im almost out of time so i have to go. thanks for all the help everyone!
[06:46] <Rubin> Dominik2, if you want 2007 to work, you gotta emulate the whole OS
[06:47] <Rubin> Dominik2, have you considered openoffice.org instead?
[06:47] <Dominik2> Rubin: is that that vista bull? im not good with the version numbers
[06:47] <Dominik2> Rubin: crossover?
[06:47] <Rubin> Dominik2, http://www.codeweavers.com/
[06:47] <apostle> my webcam is really dark...can someone help?
[06:47] <Dominik2> Rubin: yes I have, it is the photomanager that draws my GF back to the MS suite
[06:48] <n8tuser> Rubin -> really? you've never heard of ar eh? well just an fyi, after tar, and java came out, they have  jar  :)
[06:48] <Rubin> Dominik2, has she trie picasa?
[06:48] <Rubin> n8tuser, isnt jar just a zip file ?
[06:48] <Kudi> can sum1 send me an invite: irc.p2p-net.eu
[06:49] <n8tuser> Rubin -> its pretty much like tar but has perhaps additional features for  metapackage info..
[06:49] <Dominik2> what? crossover is not open source?
[06:49] <n8tuser> or metadatabase..
[06:49] <Rubin> Dominik2, its commercial ($$)
[06:49] <n8tuser> like manifest
[06:49] <Dominik2> Rubin: picasa is online isn't it?
[06:49] <darkdeeper> how bout tar?
[06:49] <Rubin> Dominik2, it has a linux native client, if i recall
[06:50] <Rubin> Dominik2, http://picasa.google.com/linux/
[06:50] <Dominik2> oh well, will it help wine if I supply it all the dlls that come with windows?
[06:51] <Rubin> Dominik2, theres also a photo manager called f-spot but i dont like it
[06:51] <shinoj> Dominik2 what programme are you trying to install with wine?
[06:51] <ardchoille> Rubin: you might like gthumb better

[07:19] <Gnea> chilli00: okay, you need to restore *every* file you've edited and install the network-manager
[07:20] <Gnea> chilli00: the 'history' command will help you remember what files you actually editted
[07:20] <voox> i installed lxde on top of ubuntu but it looks like this (http://i36.tinypic.com/2s16lj4.png), anyone know why?
[07:21] <chilli00> Gnea how can i reinstall network mamger
[07:21] <Gnea> Guest33212: if you are short on system resources, that's actually normal
[07:21] <chilli00> i have no internet
[07:21] <Gnea> chilli00: how long ago did you install ubuntu?
[07:21] <ardchoille> voox: Because that's the way it's supposed to look?
[07:21] <chilli00> long time
[07:22] <chilli00> about a year i think
[07:22] <chilli00> idk thoe
[07:22] <voox> ardchoille, no last time i installed it I was able to use gtk themes (gnome)
[07:22] <Guest33212> i have a turion 64x2 and 3gig ramGnea:
[07:22] <jkrall> hi everybody, i installed ubuntu on a laptop and mistakenly chose "ubuntu-mobile" during the installer.  I uninstalled it, but every window is still forced into Maximized mode. How can I fix this?
[07:22] <Gnea> chilli00: what is the result of this command:  lsb_release -r
[07:23] <ardchoille> voox: Ok, I'm seeing a lot of info at http://lxde.org/
[07:23] <chilli00> 8.04
[07:23] <Gnea> Guest33212: slow hard drive?
[07:23] <Synchronos> I still can't seem to boot into the other drive by default after changing the menu.lst
[07:23] <Guest33212> brand new 250gig
[07:24] <chilli00> Gnea: its 8.04
[07:24] <After_Math> I just added windows to the 3rd partition on my laptops hd, and I want to manually add it to grub. When you are adding the part (hd0,0) how can I tell it its on partition 3?
[07:24] <ellipsis> so I have newly switched to Ubuntu from Windows
[07:24] <Gnea> chilli00: got that... sec, afk... gotta take care of something quick
[07:25] <chilli00> kk
[07:25] <ellipsis> and everything seems to be fine except for one problem
[07:25] <ellipsis> how can I manage my iPod touch under Linux? ):
[07:25] <ardchoille> voox: did you run lxappearance?
[07:25] <jkrall> After_Math: the number after the , is the partition, iirc
[07:25] <hateball> !ipod | ellipsis
[07:25] <chilli00> ellipsis:  its hard u have to ssh to it and it must be jailbroken
[07:25] <ellipsis> damn it
[07:25] <voox> ardchoille, yah, that's the issue. None of the themes there load.
[07:26] <After_Math> jkrall, ok, one other question, is the (hd, part the same, even though my partitions name is sda not hda?
[07:26] <voox> ardchoille, i don't know if it has to do with me running 64bit
[07:26] <Guest33212> it takes on over 100mb uses 100% of either of my cores onnly after restarting where i didnt close all apps and wait for abt 5mins b4 shutting down
[07:26] <jkrall> After_Math: is sda the only physical hard drive?
[07:27] <Guest33212> for that process
[07:27] <ellipsis> well, another question.
[07:27] <chilli00> \k
[07:27] <After_Math> jkrall, yes, but all the other entries in grub are for (hd0,0)
[07:27] <ellipsis> Rhythmbox is showing up on the bar at the bottom no matter wjhich workspace I move it to
[07:28] <chilli00> humm
[07:28] <voox> ardchoille, i might have found a solution.. brb
[07:28] <bungrudi> hello
[07:28] <ellipsis> how can I make it show up only when I'm looking at the right workspace
[07:28] <bungrudi> what svn gui do you guys using?
[07:28] <chilli00> if u right click and press move to workspace right?
[07:28] <jkrall> After_Math: then hd0 is sda. the number of the drive is the order in which your BIOS would boot them
[07:28] <jkrall> oh, you left
[07:28] <ellipsis> yep
[07:28] <sedi-d> ubuntu

[07:34] <Gnea> chilli00: yeah, your ip information - you should be able to add it by hand with ifconfig/route to get on the internet long enough to reinstall the network-manager

[07:34] <chilli00> so yeh i need it statc
[07:35] <chilli00> Gnea:  how do i do what u are saying?
[07:35] <ardchoille> habit: maybe because of your choice of nick?
[07:35] <sedi-d> man im far behind
[07:35] <sedi-d> whats udo?
[07:35] <jkrall> yeah: you'll have to repartition the drive; somebody older here than me should know how to point you to a good partition software

[07:36] <chilli00> Gnea:  when i ran the command ifconfig route it said
[07:36] <yeah> =)
[07:36] <Gnea> chilli00: http://www.debianadmin.com/network-interface-configuration-using-ifconfig.html
[07:36] <chilli00> error fetching interface information : device not found
[07:36] <Gnea> Guest33212: please do not PM me.
[07:37] <sedi-d> how do i get to command line?
[07:37] <Guest33212> Gnea: ok
[07:37] <sedi-d> so much work to start msn messenger:S
[07:37] <bazhang> sedi-d, open a terminal
[07:37] <law__> hi guys
[07:37] <sedi-d> lol i open terminal
[07:37] <bazhang> applications, accessories terminal
[07:37] <sedi-d> now what do i have to type to get amsn to work
[07:38] <Gnea> Guest33212: something other than gdm has to be causing the problem - gdm is like X, it's a catch-all (so if you have 50 xterms and 10 firefoxes open, the memory that those take up gets accumulated with the memory that gdm/X are taking up, so it makes it look like gdm is bloated)
[07:38] <bazhang> sudo apt-get install amsn sedi-d
[07:38] <stage3> Guest33212, look what proccess use a big amount of memory : ps aux
[07:38] <AutoMatriX> Hi folks, got a little problem ... Ctrl-C in xterm does not copy selected but stops the process ... how can I copy and paste ?
[07:38] <Gnea> GuyFromHell: if you can run the top command in a terminal or console, you'll see what i mean
[07:38] <law__> can i ask anyone about xubuntu
[07:38] <chilli00> Gnea:  how can i fix it? when i type ifconfig route it says device not found
[07:38] <GuyFromHell> Gnea, hm?
[07:38] <Gnea> er
[07:38] <sedi-d> honley shit
[07:38] <Gnea> GuyFromHell: sorry, the person left and didn't see it right away
[07:38] <sedi-d> i feel booss right now
[07:39] <GuyFromHell> oh, lol :P
[07:39] <Gnea> :)
[07:39] <ardchoille> Thank you
[07:39] <law__> can anybody help me
[07:39] <Gnea> !ask | law__
[07:39] <bazhang> law__, ask
[07:39] <ardchoille> !xubuntu
[07:40] <ardchoille> law__: perhaps join #xubuntu
[07:40] <law__> ok thx ardchoille
[07:40] <mardy_> i need adobe flash player
[07:40] <ardchoille> !flash | mardy_
[07:41] <chilli00> Gnea:  help me please ? i typed ifconfig etho:0 192.168.254.1
[07:41] <chilli00> and it says that no such device
[07:41] <bazhang> chilli00, no
[07:41] <bazhang> its eth0
[07:41] <chilli00> ?
[07:41] <bazhang> eth(zero)
[07:41] <chilli00> ok then
[07:42] <ardchoille> bazhang: that's the wrong ip too isn't it?
[07:42] <Gnea> chilli00: you need to work with the actual interface - eth0:0 is a virtual device, you don't have to worry about that (it uses it as an example)
[07:42] <bazhang> ardchoille, looks like it, lets get through this error first :)
[07:42] <ardchoille> ok
[07:42] <sinta> haiiii
[07:42] <chilli00> how do i know what the interface is
[07:42] <ardchoille> that looks like his internal ip
[07:42] <Gnea> chilli00: type ifconfig -a
[07:42] <bazhang> yup
[07:42] <eightyeight> i need some help. i've removed apparmor and apparmor-utils, and installed selinux. i've rebooted, but apparently, i'm not relabeling files like i should
[07:43] <eightyeight> i've been changing the values of /etc/selinux/config, but to no effect. selinux is always booting disabled. how can i get to enforcing?
[07:43] <Gnea> !selinux | eightyeight
[07:43] <eightyeight> yup. and i've removed apparmor
[07:43] <sedi-d> thanks guys i got it to work
[07:43] <sedi-d> :D
[07:44] <sedi-d> and it was pretty cool
[07:44] <eightyeight> so, how can i get into enforcing?
[07:44] <Gnea> yup. and we don't support removing it.
[07:44] <sedi-d> next i have to learn how to hack wifi
[07:44] <sedi-d> :D
[07:44] <mardy_> thank u
[07:44] <bazhang> sedi-d, that is not supported here

[07:45] <sedi-d> lol i understand
[07:45] <beam> bazhang: Hello there
[07:45] <sedi-d> :)
[07:45] <Gnea> eightyeight: the most there is seems to be at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SELinux
[07:45] <eightyeight> Gnea: yeah. i've looked over that, with no help.
[07:45] <sedi-d> hahah so i have to no what all the good apps are for linux like torrents, word processing, and all that stuff
[07:45] <sedi-d> im googling it:D
[07:45] <Trab> ...
[07:45] <Trab> ubuntuguide.org
[07:45] <beam> i cannot open .exe files on ubuntu is that normal?
[07:45] <bazhang> sedi-d, chat in #ubuntu-offtopic NOT here
[07:45] <deola> !frostwire
[07:45] <sedi-d> thanks
[07:45] <Trab> beam: exe are windows exicutible
[07:46] <Trab> not linux
[07:46] <bazhang> beam, try wine
[07:46] <trav> Hey All How are you Today/? I wanted FF Ver 3.0 in GUTSY so I tried and just wrecked firefox by installing beta ver. 3.01b following ubuntugeek's guide now i cant get version 3.0 to be as default ive tried setting preferred apps but in there the options menu is greyed out/?? NYBDY
[07:46] <beam> Trab: so there is no wat to open it on linux?
[07:46] <sedi-d> this is reminding me of being a kid and discovering windows
[07:46] <matthew_> Is there anyone that can help me, Im in need of ATI Drivers, Ubuntu 8.10, Dual Monitors, and am trying to get compiz-fusion running.....Anyone able to help.
[07:46] <beam> way
[07:46] <error404notfound> I want to set a ubuntu 8.04 server to be DHCP, DNS, Firewall , any helpful links?
[07:46] <sedi-d> but that was kinda easy comapred 2 this
[07:46] <eightyeight> can anyone else help me with selinux?
[07:46] <Trab> beam: you can in WINE, but what are you trying to open?
[07:46] <bazhang> sedi-d, this is not the chat channel
[07:47] <Gnea> eightyeight: well, since it's targetted at intermediate to advanced users, it would be pretty silly to completely overlook the enforce option that it talks about there.
[07:47] <Trab> error404notfound that's easy, just google each one individually.
[07:47] <sedi-d> what channel is this?
[07:47] <Trab> sedi-d: join #ubuntu-chat
[07:47] <deola> Gnea: can uhelp me
[07:47] <trav> Hey there how are you today/?
[07:47] <Gnea> !ask| deola
[07:47] <bazhang> #ubuntu for support  #ubuntu-offtopic for chat sedi-d
[07:47] <beam> Trab: i downloaded a VST plugin called autotune, but i can open it
[07:47] <Trab> ...
[07:47] <Trab> what is VST?
[07:47] <error404notfound> Trab: different tutorials has different settings, sometimes what I did in the previous is totally different in next.
[07:47] <sedi-d> ok thanks
[07:47] <Trab> beam: windows programs don't work on linux, just like they don't work on macs
[07:47] <sedi-d> :D
[07:48] <eightyeight> Gnea: i'm quite the advanced user. no worries. i just need to get selinux to successfully load, and i can take it from there
[07:48] <Trab> again, is anyone else having problems logining into ubuntu-forums?
[07:48] <beam> Trab: okay. Vst is visual studio technology
[07:48] <eightyeight> Gnea: i teach linux for a living, and this week is an advanced security class even. :)
[07:48] <Gnea> eightyeight: then you should know that enforcing=0 is not enforcing=1  :)
[07:48] <Trab> beam: visual-studio is written by microsoft. why would it work on linux?
[07:48] <bazhang> Trab, that is not the problem of this channel
[07:49] <beam> Trab: autotune is a plugin that T-pain uses for singing
[07:49] <bazhang> try #ubuntuforums
[07:49] <eightyeight> Gnea: right. i see the kernel line, and it says enforcing=1, but still boots disabled
[07:49] <Trab> ...a simple yes or no would be helpful, but thanks.
[07:49] <beam> Trab: well, i thought that there might be a way
[07:49] <Gnea> eightyeight: i would imagine that the selinux source in the kernel tree itself might have some other options to parse....
[07:49] <eightyeight> Gnea: as mentioned, the /etc/selinux/config has the appropriate variable set too, still to no avail
[07:49] <law__> from my xubuntu pc i can ping to another win xp pc, but from win xp pc i can't ping to xubuntu pc
[07:50] <hischild> eightyeight, have you checked dmesg for any errors it might give
[07:50] <bazhang> no probs here Trab
[07:50] <Trab> found someone else with the same problem. thanks
[07:50] <law__> anybody can  give me a solutions?
[07:50] <matthew_> Is there anyone that can help me, Im in need of ATI Drivers, Ubuntu 8.10, Dual Monitors, and am trying to get compiz-fusion running.....Anyone able to help.
[07:50] <hischild> !ati | matthew_
[07:50] <bazhang> ask in #compiz-fusion matthew_
[07:50] <Gnea> law__: over what kind of network?
[07:50] <Trab> beam: is there a way? sure. but its not easy
[07:50] <eightyeight> hischild: yes. nothing useful. i've checked /var/log/dmesg, /var/log/messages and /var/log/audit/audit.log (i installed auditd as well)
[07:51] <matthew_> Thanks. :P
[07:51] <law__> LAN
[07:51] <beam> Trab: what is it?
[07:51] <Trab> alright, maybe someone will be able to help me here and now.
[07:51] <Trab> beam: wine
[07:51] <bazhang> law__, what is your final goal? sharing folders etc?
[07:51] <law__> just a common wired LAN
[07:51] <law__> yes
[07:51] <bazhang> use samba
[07:52] <beam> Trab: yes wine is not easy
[07:52] <Trab> I have a webcam, it works great. it crashed while running, and now won't restart. i know i can reboot the computer to fix it, but i don't wanna have to do that everytime. it uses uvcvideo, which I've modprobe -r uvcvideo
[07:52] <law__> i already install samba and configure it
[07:52] <bazhang> beam check the appdb
[07:52] <bazhang> !appdb | beam
[07:52] <Gnea> Trab: built-in webcam or usb?
[07:52] <Trab> USB
[07:52] <bazhang> law so what is the prob
[07:53] <Trab> it still shows up in lsusb
[07:53] <Gnea> !samba | law__
[07:53] <attid> hi, ubuntu 8.04. i have problem with automount flesh\cd and other. if i powerOn my computer it not work. but if i will reboot after it all work. what can i do ?
[07:53] <Gnea> law__: you might want to check your firewall settings in xp, too
[07:53] <law__> from win xp can't browse to xubuntu share folder
[07:53] <hischild> eightyeight, so it just doesn't load while not giving you any errors?
[07:53] <bazhang> law__, but its fine from the ubuntu side?
[07:53] <law__> when i try to ping from win xp to xubuntu i got RTO
[07:53] <Gnea> law__: what if you click start->run->\\<ip of your samba>\  ?
[07:54] <Trab> law you clearly have a route error
[07:54] <law__> but from xubuntu can ping to win xp
[07:54] <Trab> ...
[07:54] <Trab> heh
[07:54] <Gnea> law__: they are plugged into the same hub/switch?
[07:54] <eightyeight> hischild: correct. from what i can tell, it's not loading, even when it's clear that 'apparmor=0 selinux=1' in the kernel line, and SELINUX=enforcing in /etc/selinux/config
[07:54] <law__> yes same switch
[07:54] <Gnea> law__: and they use the same netmask?
[07:55] <law__> yes
[07:55] <Gnea> what is it?
[07:55] <hischild> eightyeight, does apparmor load instead of selinux?
[07:55] <eightyeight> hischild: apparmor is uninstalled
[07:55] <Gnea> law__: if you type ipconfig in a dos prompt in xp, and if you type ifconfig in a terminal in ubuntu, do the netmasks match up?
[07:56] <hischild> eightyeight, does it make a note of loading? i can imagine it might still try to load certain parts.
[07:56] <law__> yes
[07:56] <jonatman> Hi all, I'm having some trouble setting up ltsp with fat client, can anyone help me?
[07:56] <Chaotic_Descent> Ubuntu seems to do a lot of updates with large amounts of data... does any of this data replace existing data, or is it all piled on top? Is there any way to clean out the old data? I have a feeling my recent (and serious) problems might be due to running out of file space. (although I don't know how to check available space on my system partition)
[07:57] <Trab> sudo apt-get autoclean
[07:57] <Gnea> law__: how many other computers on the lan?
[07:57] <eightyeight> hischild: [    0.000000] Kernel command line: root=/dev/mapper/kratos.cocyt.us-root ro quiet splash apparmor.enabled=0 selinux=1
[07:57] <eightyeight> hischild: is all i get, in all the logs
[07:57] <Trab> Chaotic_Descent: try running sudo apt-get autoclean
[07:57] <Chaotic_Descent> Trab: thanks.
[07:57] <law__> 3
[07:57] <hischild> eightyeight, can you pastebin me those logs?
[07:57] <eightyeight> hischild: sure. hold on
[07:57] <law__> 1 xubuntu , 2winxp
[07:57] <Gnea> law__: what happens if you unplug the other xp?
[07:58] <eightyeight> hischild: what do you want? dmesg? /var/log/dmesg? /var/log/messages?
[07:58] <hischild> eightyeight, dmesg please.
[07:58] <law__>  unplug the other xp-> what do u mean?
[07:58] <Chaotic_Descent> arg... why are there installed apps that don't appear in the GUI?
[07:59] <Gnea> law__: grab the ethernet cable on the back of the other xp, apply pressure to the clip, and remove the ethernet cord from the system, thus disconnecting it from the network.  will the other xp system be able to ping xubuntu now?
[07:59] <Chaotic_Descent> Trab: uh... I can't seem to find autoclean...
[07:59] <bazhang> its autoremove
[08:00] <Chaotic_Descent> What?
[08:00] <hischild> Chaotic_Descent, sudo apt-get autoremove
[08:01] <loa> hello friends! How i can use printer over local?
[08:01] <Chaotic_Descent> ... why was I told to get autoclean?
[08:01] <Ikyn_> So, I need to replace my xserver and xorg with the originals from the LiveCD - can anyone tell me how I go about doing that?
[08:01] <eightyeight> hischild: http://pastebin.ca/1262231
[08:01] <hischild> Chaotic_Descent, to clean out your disk of packages that were downloaded for updates for example.
[08:02] <chilli00000000> hello all
[08:02] <chilli00000000> again
[08:02] <Neo1> who tell me, the console default is 80x40, how to set up 100x80 and I don't used x window.
[08:02] <Flannel> Chaotic_Descent: Like which apps?
[08:02] <Transformer1> k
[08:02] <chilli00000000> its not working the internet is not working and i tryed what Gnea  said
[08:02] <Chaotic_Descent> Flannel: like autoclean
[08:03] <static07> Hi
[08:03] <eightyeight> hischild: in this case, you can see it's attempting permissive. that was my last boot, attempting it to load at least to that point
[08:03] <Flannel> Chaotic_Descent: autoclean isn't an app, its a feature of apt-get
[08:04] <Neo1> else question, I login to ubuntu via ttyS0, I used vt220, it still is 80x40.
[08:04] <static07> I'm at work now but: I've installed ubuntu at home but I can't get the network to work. When I boot it says I'm connected (automatic DHCP) but it's not, when I restart the network service it can't connect
[08:05] <static07> I've tried manual method, which says connected but I can't ping another PC in the network
[08:05] <Neo1> sudo dhclient eth0
[08:06] <Neo1> I suggest you 'ifconfig' to show your ip.
[08:06] <hischild> eightyeight, yes. It would appear to load, correct?
[08:07] <Neo1> and sudo iptables -L
[08:07] <eightyeight> hischild: it looks like it, but 'getenforce' reports disabled, and 'setenforce 1' fails, mentioning the same- disabled
[08:08] <Chaotic_Descent> how can I see the used and available space for my system partition? I can't seem to do it by looking at the properties of the "filesystem"
[08:10] <dig> cd..
[08:10] <Kartagis> Chaotic_Descent, df -h
[08:11] <hischild> eightyeight, Those commands, at least from what i'm reading here, are for FC and RH. I need a second to do some digging up on this, been some time. A moment
[08:12] <static07> how do I know what drivers are loaded for my network?
[08:12] <eightyeight> hischild: getenforce and setenforce should just be querying the /selinux filesystem. both are part of the selinux-utils package, btw
[08:13] <Chaotic_Descent> I found a website on steps to clean up your files and it's talking about localepurge and languages... but I have like a dozen en listings...
[08:13] <QtQ> wath program converter a jar to jad ?
[08:13] <Chaotic_Descent> is "en" the only one I want selected to keep, or all the "en" ones?
[08:14] <law__> it still can't ping to xubuntu
[08:14] <Chaotic_Descent> nevermind. stupid question. there's a popup that describes it.
[08:14] <jim_p> law__, may i ask what the problem is?
[08:15] <FuLio> Hi everyone i need a tutorial on how to install windows xp using virtualbox on ubuntu, i cant find a good tutorial
[08:15] <skeletor> Could someone please help me, I just updated to 8.10 and its rewritten my xorg config and now i'm stuck in the dreaded 800x600, I resolved this last time by using a GUI to select the Vesa driver and desired resolution, does anyone know how to find it??
[08:15] <jim_p> QtQ, some java compiler i quess
[08:15] <jim_p> *guess
[08:15] <ziroday> FuLio: the virtualbox install of windows is very similar to a normal install of windows. Windows questions should be in ##windows
[08:15] <ellipsis> man I feel good
[08:15] <QtQ> jim_p,  i dont see any program mf
[08:16] <ellipsis> the MySQL admin GUI tool was throwing up weird errors, so I logged in via the console and did everything by hand
[08:16] <jim_p> QtQ, wait i will find you one. i guess eclipse can do it
[08:16] <ziroday> skeletor: did you try going into recovery mode and selecting "Fix my X" or something similar?
[08:16] <law__> the problem is from winxp can't ping to xubuntu
[08:16] <ellipsis> I've just been using Ubuntu for 3 hours and already I am developing a radiant glow
[08:16] <law__> but from xubuntu can ping to winxp
[08:16] <pallu> hello all of you
[08:16] <jim_p> QtQ, eclipse it is
[08:16] <deep_> is there anyway to make voice chat in ubuntu for yahoo users
[08:16] <hischild> eightyeight, perhaps a stupid question, but have you tried to boot directly into enforce mode?
[08:17] <jim_p> QtQ, the rest rely on your java knowledge
[08:17] <Synchronos> Can anyone help me, I can't seem to boot into another partition by default.
[08:17] <jim_p> Synchronos, grub error?
[08:17] <vallhalla81> !ssh
[08:17] <QtQ> tnx a hour
[08:17] <ziroday> Synchronos: did you try gyach?
[08:18] <Synchronos> jim_p I tried configuring grub but hasn't worked.
[08:18] <ziroday> deep_: did you try gyach?
[08:18] <ziroday> Synchronos: wrong person sorry
[08:18] <jim_p> deep_, with pidgin, no. look for some other client
[08:18] <pallu> how can i get apt-update to work?
[08:18] <deep_> yes i did but
[08:18] <skeletor> ziroday: No not yet, Last time I spent ages finding the appropriate drivers and adding them to the xorg conf etc etc, none of the methods worked however this GUI I used worked first time I just cant seem to find it in any of the menus
[08:18] <Synchronos> ziroday I don't know about gyach
[08:18] <pallu> apt-get update is giving me problems
[08:19] <deep_> i got voip cheap work through ekigasoft phone but not for yahoo
[08:19] <LoveGuru> there is one file i want to copy all text in that file then i can paste it on pastebin how can i do tha?
[08:19] <eightyeight> hischild: yes. many times
[08:19] <jim_p> pallu, errors for timed out server connections?
[08:19] <ziroday> Synchronos: wrong person, sorry :). You added the "savedefault" option to the menu.lst correct?
[08:19] <pallu> W: Failed to fetch http://download.tuxfamily.org/syzygy42/dists/feisty/avant-window-navigator/source/Sources.gz  404 Not Found
[08:19] <ziroday> skeletor: the gui you used has been phased out. The new way is using the Fix My X option in the recovery area
[08:19] <hischild> eightyeight, What does it do if you try? Still boot into permissive mode?
[08:20] <Chaotic_Descent> how come cleaning up files is such a complicated process? shouldn't it be automatic? and for that matter, why didn't some alert come up when I was running out of file space instead of the system glitching?
[08:20] <ziroday> pallu: that is an externel repo, contact the repo's author to find out my it doesn't work
[08:20] <eightyeight> hischild: no. still boots into disabled mode.
[08:20] <jim_p> pallu, this url does not exist (404 - not found). what ubuntu version are you on?
[08:20] <Synchronos> ziroday: no I haven't
[08:20] <ziroday> deep_: also take a look at Gyach Enhanced
[08:20] <ziroday> Synchronos: well then how did you configure it?
[08:20] <deep_> thanks ziroday i will try that one too
[08:20] <hischild> eightyeight, and echo "1" >/selinux/enforce doesn't switch modes?
[08:20] <pallu> Linux bbox 2.6.24-21-generic #1 SMP Tue Oct 21 23:43:45 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux
[08:20] <Synchronos> ziroday: I changed the Default on the drive I wanted to boot to 1
[08:20] <pallu> 804
[08:21] <deep_> jim-p have u enabled the third part software or not ?
[08:21] <pallu> 8.0.4
[08:21] <LoveGuru> there is one file i want to copy all text in that file then i can paste it on pastebin how can i do tha?
[08:21] <eightyeight> hischild: not if you're in disabled. selinux engrains itself so much into the system, that reboots are required to get in and out of selinux
[08:21] <ziroday> Synchronos: cant you pastebin your menu.list please
[08:21] <skeletor> ziroday: hmm ok, do I have to use the cd to do it now then?
[08:21] <jim_p> pallu, because this repo is for 7.10 version! i suggest you go to sources.list and delete it before it causes problems
[08:21] <Synchronos> ziroday: ok hold on
[08:21] <hischild> eightyeight, I'm sorry i should be more clear. I meant once booted into permissive mode, can you use that to switch?
[08:21] <ziroday> skeletor: nope, it should be one of the grub options as booting up. It will have the word recovery in it
[08:22] <skeletor> ziroday: ok thanks buddy, i'll give it a go
[08:22] <ziroday> skeletor: good luck :)
[08:22] <eightyeight> hischild: i have not had any successful boot into selinux, enforcing or permissive. it's _always_ been disabled
[08:23] <Ientzy> i tray to compilare kavmonitor and i get this error : checking for mod reg security...configure: error: "Cannot resolve symbol mod reg security"
[08:23] <sken> does anybody know when i adjust the brightness my pc freezes??
[08:23] <sken> why pc freezes?
[08:23] <jim_p> sken, is it on ati?
[08:23] <hischild> eightyeight, wait, so it hasn't been loaded at all? despite that it shows it being loaded? hmm .... and cat /selinux/enforce doesn't give you anything?
[08:23] <weliad> Hi all,
[08:24] <sken> does anybody know why when i adjust the brightness my pc freezes??
[08:24] <eightyeight> hischild: correct. as it sits, /selinux is empty
[08:24] <weliad> I got a simple enough question:
[08:24] <pallu> I'm trying to make a smaller kernel but i don't know how to do it
[08:24] <LoveGuru> there is one log file in log folder. i want to copy all text whatever that file have it. so i can paste it on pastebin how can i do that?
[08:24] <jim_p> sken, please adjust the brightness from the monitor panel, if you are on normal pc and not on laptop
[08:24] <chilli0> my internet is working on this now
[08:25] <chilli0> but when i try to run littpd it screw up

[08:25] <pallu> ATI

[08:25] <sken> no iam on laptop
[08:25] <ikonia> chilli0: you mean light httpd ?

[08:26] <ikonia> chilli0: anyone back ?
[08:26] <ikonia> chilli0: what are you talking about ?
[08:26] <chilli0> nothing
[08:26] <chilli0> my bad
[08:26] <ikonia> ?
[08:26] <ikonia> chilli0: was that meant for freecode?
[08:26] <jim_p> sken, please               lspci | grep VGA
[08:26] <hischild> eightyeight, that's quite some new information i missed. Can you check this for me ... go to synaptic, search for selinux and check under installed files if any of those should go to /selinux.
[08:27] <chilli0> yes ikonia
[08:27] <chilli0> how can i fix the error?
[08:27] <Ientzy> i tray to compilare kavmonitor and i get this error : checking for mod reg security...configure: error: "Cannot resolve symbol mod reg security"
[08:27] <sken> i don't understand, explain
[08:27] <weliad> Why in god's name, does one need to have special privileges in order to sample a miniDV tape, via fire-wire? I mean, start with the fact that out of the box, this feature which a lot of home users want and need is missing from Ubuntu, even when you modprobe the correct device, and install some software like KINO or whatever, the entire thing is such an ordeal, that you must become root in order to have some access to the camcorder, and ev
[08:27] <ziroday> chilli0: you have incorrectly configured your webserver.
[08:27] <ikonia> chilli0: well from what you've shown me I'd guess that there is an error in your config, probably around the hostname/network address it's binding to
[08:27] <eightyeight> hischild: i guess i haven't been communicating that clear enough, but that's been my problem since the outset
[08:27] <ikonia> chilli0: is lighthttpd even starting ?
[08:27] <chilli0> nop
[08:27] <chilli0> it use to work fin
[08:28] <chilli0> but then i had a screw up with my internet
[08:28] <hischild> eightyeight, np there, i should've asked better questions.
[08:28] <QtQ> huh won :D
[08:28] <chilli0> so i had to reconfiger it
[08:28] <chilli0> should i just reinstall it?
[08:28] <QtQ> mo0o0orning :)
[08:28] <ziroday> weliad: you can configure that option in System > Users and Groups (I think)
[08:28] <hischild> !enter | chilli0
[08:28] <jim_p> sken, open the terminal and type the command i said above please. and post here the output
[08:28] <ikonia> chilli0: please don't make thing up saying "people in #ubuntu won't help" is a lie and uncalled for
[08:28] <jim_p> sken, and please refer to me with my name. it makes my taskbar blink and me to look at it
[08:28] <ziroday> chilli0: as I said before. It appears that your config file for light httpd is incorrectely configured
[08:29] <jim_p> thank you
[08:29] <QtQ> comon the internet is more reptical
[08:29] <chilli0> ikonia:  did u know what happend b4?
[08:29] <weliad> ziroday: configure what option? granting normal user access to the device? Why is this any different than a USB webcam or any other device you plug in?
[08:29] <ziroday> !pastebin | Synchronos
[08:29] <ikonia> chilli0: and try telling us the whole fact you've just said "you tried to make a static ip address" - that is something you didn't tell me before
[08:29] <hischild> eightyeight, can you check if synaptic tells you if files should be installed into /selinux?
[08:29] <ikonia> chilli0: has it ever worked with a static ip address
[08:29] <chilli0> no
[08:29] <sken> jim_p ok
[08:29] <chilli0> its when i tryed to make on
[08:30] <Synchronos> ubottu: Thanks I'll get onto it
[08:30] <ikonia> chilli0: right so your miss-leading me
[08:30] <sken> jim_p what's ati?
[08:30] <chilli0> i lost all internet connection, i gotta go
[08:30] <ikonia> chilli0: when you said "it used to just work" thats wrong -
[08:30] <ikonia> chilli0: it's never worked
[08:30] <LoveGuru> ikonia: there is one log file in log folder. i want to copy all text whatever that file have it. so i can paste it on pastebin how can i do that?
[08:30] <ziroday> weliad: you can configure it so that the user can access to firewire and other devices in that program I just gave you
[08:30] <eightyeight> hischild: well, looking. not sure where to look. if you have commands to type at the tty, i'd do better there
[08:30] <jim_p> sken, ati is a maker of grafic cards
[08:30] <ikonia> chilli0: what ip address have you assigned to it
[08:30] <ikonia> chilli0: lets sort this out
[08:30] <ikonia> !pastebin > LoveGuru
[08:30] <jim_p> sken, let me take it the other way. fo you have a red sticker with the word ati on on your laptop?
[08:31] <Synchronos> ziroday: Here it is I hope this is right http://paste.ubuntu.com/74677/
[08:31] <eightyeight> hischild: 'dpkg -S /selinux' showss that 'policycoreutils' created that dir
[08:31] <LoveGuru> ikonia: i knew that what pastbin is.. but what i m asking is how to copy whole text from that file.
[08:31] <ikonia> LoveGuru: cut and paste
[08:31] <jim_p> sken, or "ATi", white letters in reb background
[08:31] <sken> 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 915GM/GMS/910GML Express Graphics Controller (rev 03) jim_p that's the result
[08:31] <ziroday> Synchronos: wonderful :)
[08:31] <jim_p> sken, then you are not on ati !
[08:31] <weliad> ziroday, ok, sure I can grant perms, but WHY??? What makes Firewire so special that it needs special treatment like this, that other ports such as USB don't require? Also, this is a must have feature if UBUNTU is aiming towards home users
[08:32] <LoveGuru> ikonia: its a huge file. like 3000 to 4000 lines
[08:32] <cpk1> what would be the simplest (easiest) way to install to a completely headless system (no monitor keyboard or mouse) just has network and cd drive
[08:32] <ikonia> !pastebininit
[08:32] <Ientzy> i tray to compilare kavmonitor and i get this error : checking for mod reg security...configure: error: "Cannot resolve symbol mod reg security"
[08:32] <jim_p> sken, is the laptop a sony?
[08:32] <eightyeight> hischild: and, as far as i understand, that directory is only populated when selinux is loaded. i could be wrong on that though
[08:32] <ikonia> LoveGuru: look at the pastebinit package
[08:32] <slack_> hi all
[08:32] <ziroday> weliad: that question I can not answer, I am not a developer.
[08:32] <jim_p> hi Slack
[08:32] <sken> no it's a dell inspiron
[08:32] <jim_p> ooops
[08:32] <jim_p> hi slack_
[08:32] <sken> jim_p
[08:32] <weliad> ziroday, yeah, I figured as much
[08:32] <jim_p> sken, (me scratches head)
[08:33] <ziroday> weliad: however I have explained to you how to solve your issue.
[08:33] <sken> lol really jim_p
[08:33] <cpk1> for instance, can I have the cd automatically start with shh server enabled? so then I can ssh into the system and then install
[08:33] <weliad> Wasted 2 hours yesterday trying to get this simple feature working - kept getting errors such as: no camera found
[08:33] <ziroday> Synchronos: which option did you change?
[08:33] <jim_p> yea :P
[08:33] <LoveGuru> ikonia: ya i installed it.
[08:33] <LoveGuru> its a editor or what?
[08:33] <ikonia> LoveGuru: yes that
[08:34] <ikonia> LoveGuru: try the command
[08:34] <sken> so any clue jim_p?
[08:34] <Synchronos> ziroday: changed default 1 from default 0
[08:34] <hischild> eightyeight, I understand. And yes, that is what i was looking for. I don't have selinux installed and as such it is harder for me to find info on this.
[08:34] <jim_p> sken, none so far
[08:34] <jim_p> sken, it is some module problem, but what module?
[08:35] <ziroday> Synchronos: one sec
[08:35] <jim_p> sken, do this       cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | grep Driver
[08:35] <hischild> eightyeight, what i do not understand is how it shows selinux being loaded and yet not populate the /selinux folder. The idea is annoying me, that it should work but doesn't. I'll fire up a VM to see if i can recreate this issue.
[08:35] <jim_p> sken, 2-3 lines of output, maybe 4
[08:35] <eightyeight> hischild: yeah. and not much is in the way of google, so i turned here. #selinux and #ubuntu-hardened aren't responding, so i assume they're sleeping. :)
[08:35] <deola> i said b4,if i dont close all running programs b4 shutting down, my system will run extremely slow wen i boot afterward. wen i check htop, a gdm process is using 100% of 1 of my cores and well over 100mb of ram. I use a turion64x2 with 3gb ram and 250 sata hdd.
[08:36] <ziroday> Synchronos: and you are trying to make recovery mode the default boot option?
[08:36] <hischild> eightyeight, i suppose so. And though google is of help, it doesn't provide us with the solution unfortunately.
[08:36] <weliad> ziroday, no disrespect - but you haven't. Granting perms to a simple user is the least of the issue. It should be an out-of-th-box thing, like it is with disk on keys and other stuff (scanner, webcam, etc.). The fact that it's not out-of-the-box means that this feature, which a lot of people look for, is a cause for people to revert to Windows in order to sample their movies. Most people wont use the answer you gave to gain access to thei
[08:36] <eightyeight> hischild: cool. thx. i'm currently installing debian, to see if the same issue exists there, and what i'm doing wrong
[08:36] <ikonia> deola: you may find it easier to talk in clear english, using words like "before" rather than B$
[08:36] <sken> no response jim_p
[08:36] <Synchronos> ziroday: not exactly
[08:36] <ikonia> B4
[08:36] <jim_p> sken, lol. mind the CAPS! they are there for a reason
[08:36] <Synchronos> ziroday: I have 2 partitions on this comp
[08:37] <ziroday> Synchronos: sorry I'm not following. Which boot option are you trying to make default?
[08:37] <sken> what caps jim_p?
[08:37] <jim_p> sken, the capital letters in "X11" and "Driver"
[08:38] <deola> I said before,if i don't close all running programs before shutting down, my system will run extremely slow when i boot afterward. When I check htop, a gdm process is using 100% of 1 of my cores and well over 100mb of ram. I use a turion64x2 with 3gb ram and 250 sata hdd.
[08:38] <Synchronos> ziroday: I'm actually trying to boot another partition
[08:38] <Synchronos> ziroday: sorry i didn't make it clear at the beginning
[08:38] <ziroday> Synchronos: okay, I'm not seeing that partition in menu.lst. I presume you want to add it manually?
[08:38] <ikonia> deola: does that cpu behaviour change if you shut down all the programs before you restart ?
[08:38] <sken> and what doi i do about that?
[08:39] <sken> jim_p?
[08:39] <Synchronos> ziroday: I'll probably have to. The partition I want by default was installed first.
[08:39] <LoveGuru> ikonia: "pastebinit  inspircd.conf  -b http://pastebin.ca " is it correct command?
[08:39] <ziroday> Synchronos: okay, this is a windows partition?

[08:40] <ziroday> Synchronos: reading those docs will tell you how to do that
[08:40] <Synchronos> ziroday: ok thank you
[08:40] <ziroday> Synchronos: however I recommend using Super Grub Disk which it tells you about above there as well

[08:47] <raztus> Hi - I'm a new Ubuntu user looking for support with a suspected ACPI issue--is this a good place to ask?
[08:47] <LoveGuru> ikonia: that command gave me error in return. so leave it. just let me know can i share that file in to windows box?
[08:47] <ziroday> !eol | nilson
[08:47] <LoveGuru> through samba?

[08:50] <jim_p> sken, where where?
[08:50] <skeletor> ziroday: Fix-x didn't work, i've read that the GUI editor for xorg remains in Hardy which is what im using, do you know how to open it?

[08:53] <raztus> Can someone help me with a question?  I'm new to Ubuntu
[08:54] <joshux> don't ask to ask, lol
[08:54] <Matthew_-> Everytime I enable ATI/AMD Driver Fglrx i get this error.......- (EE)fglrx(0): DIRScreenint failed! , (EE)fglrx(0): Fbpci_device_map_range error!(EE)fglrx(0): Failed to map FB Memory , (EE)fglrx(0): Flregl_setSuspendResumeState FAILD -9
[08:54] <shinoj> raztus: what is your question
[08:54] <Matthew_-> thats the error im gettin whn i Enable andactivate the FGLRX driver
[08:54] <raztus> Haha, my bad.  I'm on a Toshiba laptop running Intrepid, and it doesn't seem like Ubuntu has any control of the CPU fan.
[08:55] <raztus> ...the speed of the fan remains what it was at boot, regardless of the load.
[08:55] <Matthew_-> Does anyone know what i can do to get this FGLRX driver working???
[08:55] <Flanon33> raztus
[08:55] <Flanon33> you sure its the cpu fan and not ur vid card?
[08:55] <raztus> Yes
[08:55] <Flanon33> if you turn off the extra graphics and stuff
[08:56] <Flanon33> does it go away?
[08:56] <Flanon33> My hp used to run the fan like it was going out of style
[08:56] <Flanon33> the minute i take out the extras
[08:56] <Flanon33> my battery life is insanely high and the fan stops spinning loudly
[08:56] <raztus> But if the laptop was cool at boot, the fan will never spin up
[08:56] <shinoj> raztus: if it has an intel motherboard, then search synaptic for appropriate drivers
[08:57] <Flanon33> *shrug* mine doesnt start doing it even with extras turned on untill a bit after install
[08:57] <Flanon33> so i guess your right
[08:57] <Flanon33> if its doing it from boot
[08:57] <raztus> ie, I think the BIOS is handling the CPU fan, but linux doesn't have access.
[08:57] <Flanon33> hmm
[08:57] <Flanon33> could be
[08:57] <Flanon33> what toshiba model you got?
[08:57] <Flanon33> and desk or lappy
[08:57] <FloodBot2> Flanon33: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[08:57] <Flanon33> woops sorry for flooding
[08:57] <raztus> It's a Toshiba Satellite A305
[08:57] <Flanon33> hmmm
[08:57] <raztus> shinoj: I'm not sure what the mb is.
[08:58] <Flanon33> ya I used to work on those and even in windows they spin the fans alot from my experiance
[08:58] <Flanon33> i say get up in your bios and see what all is in there
[08:58] <raztus> I've looked at the toshiba_acpi which looks like what I need, but I'm not sure it is.  And if it is, I'm not sure how to "install" it.
[08:58] <raztus> The bios doesn't tell me much, unfortunately
[08:59] <_hase> So I was just looking at my xorg.conf and noticed that it just says section "Device" 	Identifier	"Configured Video Device"
[08:59] <_hase> Shouldn't it say like intel or something?
[09:00] <ketil> Hi!  I have a problem mounting /dev/disk/by-label/foo - sometimes (after waking up the computer in the docking station, with the USB drive attached), the link points to the incorrect partition.
[09:00] <ketil> Known problem?  Workaround?  Can I rescan the disk somehow?
[09:00] <raztus> This page: http://memebeam.org/toys/ToshibaAcpiDriver tells me that for the toshiba_acpi I just need to configure the kernel (since I'm using a 2.6 kernel)...what is a good howto about that?
[09:01] <matthew_> would anyone know why my system wont work after I enable and activate the ATI/AMD proprietary FGLRX graphics Driver?
[09:07] <raztus> How do you configure a kernel?

[09:21] <Frogzoo> krupa^: 664
[09:21] <deep_> how to completely remove an application ?
[09:21] <krupa^> its for files or dirs?
[09:21] <Frogzoo> krupa^: that's for files
[09:21] <ropetin> deep_: apt-get remove package --purge
[09:22] <krupa^> and dir?
[09:22] <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(no backlight) and can't do a thing except hold down the power button. Ctrl+Alt+Backspace does nothing.
[09:22] <rblst> krupa^: for dirs, use 701
[09:22] <jim_p> deep_, or autoremove
[09:22] <Frogzoo> krupa^: dir should be 755 I guess
[09:22] <deep_> ropetin that doesnt work
[09:23] <monadwr> I've encountered a pretty bizarre occurence, with my update-manager. I get a 'The package index files are corrupted. No Filename: field for package cl-asdf.
[09:23] <deep_> i did that and install apache2 but still there are old files ..
[09:23] <monadwr> For all the packages that need to be upgraded.
[09:23] <monadwr> Is this a generic problem?
[09:24] <monadwr> What would've corrupted the package manager files?
[09:24] <ropetin> deep_: which files did it keep?
[09:24] <FD_F> how i can update automatically only security updates in ubuntu server from command line ?, thanks
[09:25] <erUSUL> monadwr: « sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade » paste the output you get to pastebin
[09:25] <erUSUL> !pastebin
[09:25] <monadwr> erUSUL: I'd rather use rafb.
[09:25] <my_haz> whats the biggest size file that ubuntu can deal with?
[09:26] <Frogzoo> my_haz: 2gig for 32 bit
[09:26] <histo> !resolution
[09:26] <erUSUL> my_haz: depends on the filesystem but ext3 can handle several TiB Filesize
[09:26] <monadwr> erUSUL: http://rafb.net/p/1y2ARx77.html
[09:26] <Frogzoo> my_haz: you can use large file support on 32bit , but meh
[09:27] <deep_> ropetin... imean all those config files are same as i edited previously and i have the old database as it was which should have been removed as i removed mysql too
[09:27] <cham_eleon> Is here anyone who have Eclipse PDT running under 64bit ubuntu? Is there a way to say eclipse it should use /usr/lib32/ instead of /usr/lib? I tried LD_LIBRARY_PATH, without success :(
[09:28] <erUSUL> my_haz: 2 TiB to be exact
[09:28] <ropetin> deep_: Someone else can probably confirm this, but my understanding is apt-get will not remove config files you edited
[09:28] <erUSUL> my_haz: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ext3
[09:28] <monadwr> erUSUL: Could you look at the rafb post, please.
[09:29] <monadwr> You did ask for an upload, I did give it to you.
[09:29] <[_> hi all, can i ask something about ubuntu??
[09:29] <monadwr> [_: You probably won't get a coherent answer.
[09:29] <deep_> ok ropetin ,,,,i appericiate the way u tried help ...thanks
[09:29] <erUSUL> monadwr: maybe a mirror problem... try with another one
[09:29] <monadwr> Just judging from my experience.
[09:29] <monadwr> erUSUL: And if that doesn't work?
[09:29] <erUSUL> monadwr: System>Admin>Softward Sources
[09:30] <monadwr> I know where that is, if that doesn't work?
[09:30] <Frogzoo> ropetin: --purge will tell apt-get to remove config files
[09:30] <lunanlad> anyone know how to get a Ysuns webcam working on Ubuntu?  I am so completely stuck
[09:30] <rblst> !ask | [_

[09:31] <[_> ok, thanks ...am new in ubuntu, i need to increse the number of workspaces, i hAd now, i like to have at least  6 workspaces, how can i do that?
[09:31] <monadwr> That's not an ubuntu problem, [_
[09:31] <monadwr> It's pretty basic, just right click the workspaces.
[09:32] <monadwr> Next time, ask in #gnome.
[09:32] <monadwr> You need to go to preferences, and make your changes from there.
[09:32] <hischild_> monadwr, As he is using ubuntu, he has all the rights to ask it here.
[09:32] <matthew_1> I would really like to get My ATI Drivers working, but everytime i enable andactivate them..... my system wont start back up, itll have me reconfigure Xorg, Any ideas on how i can get around this issue?
[09:32] <krupa^> how do i add exisiting user to a exisitng group?
[09:33] <jim_p> matthew_1, are you on 8.10 AND using fglrx?
[09:33] <deep_> i removed php5,apache, mysql and phpmyadmin but when i restart webserver its restarts what the fuck is this
[09:33] <krupa^> myselfusr to www-data
[09:33] <nicku> krupa^: gpasswd -a user group
[09:33] <matthew_1> Jim_p, Yes
[09:33] <jim_p> matthew_1, or trying to use fglrx?
[09:34] <monadwr> hischild_: So I can get fvwm support in here, because I'm using ubuntu?
[09:34] <matthew_1> well, trying to enable the driver
[09:34] <selinuxium> erUSUL: Still having problems... icedtea-gcjwebplugin is a transitional package that installs icedtea6-plugin, this is already installed. If I remove icedtea6-plugin and install icedtea-gcjwebplugin it tries to install icedtea6-plugin but can't with dependency problems.... But will install straight...
[09:34] <nicku> matthew_1: what card do you have
[09:34] <matthew_1> x800pro
[09:34] <krupa^> its not a main group right?
[09:34] <nicku> i don't think that fglrx supports that
[09:34] <Techie> need help with ATI big desktop in 8.10
[09:34] <krupa^> i want to add a secoundary group
[09:34] <jim_p> matthew_1, then you cant do much. fglrx is STILL incompatible with 8.10's xorg 1.5! better try radeon or radeonhd as drivers
[09:35] <nicku> krupa^: yes that adds it to new group
[09:35] <hischild_> monadwr, if you use ubuntu you have the right to ask it here. If you get help is a second, but if they are small things such as changing the number of workspaces, those things will get help here.
[09:35] <Techie> jim_p can you help me with my ATI Radeon?
[09:35] <krupa^> i got user myusr1 and its member of myusers and i want to add him to secoudary group of apache www-data
[09:35] <matthew_1> How would i go about using Radeon or Radeonhd?
[09:36] <hischild_> krupa^, sudo adduser myusr1 www-data <-- that?
[09:36] <Whabo> techie what ATI card u got
[09:36] <krupa^> the user and group are exists
[09:36] <nicku> krupa^: did't gpasswd work
[09:36] <krupa^> i didnt tried it
[09:36] <nicku> why not
[09:36] <krupa^> ok ill now

[09:38] <Yuretsz> Hi, guys. I'm having ;3C;3D messages in gnome-terminal, when I'm pressing alt-left alt-right. How can I fix it?
[09:39] <Whabo> techie did you try typing video in the terminal
[09:39] <Whabo> it takes you to screen settings
[09:40] <Techie> video
[09:40] <Whabo> yeah try that
[09:40] <Techie> command not found
[09:40] <Whabo> tell me what u get. ur on gnome?
[09:41] <nicku> Techie: or you could just manuallyedit xorg.conf
[09:41] <Techie> nicku: i would prefer not to as its all generic at the moment and when i tried to edit it back in 8.04 i fried my brain
[09:42] <Whabo> techie just gimme a sec .. im doing it on my system i havent done it in wjile
[09:42] <Yuretsz> 3C3D3
[09:42] <Sharp_eyes> can v use coral in linux
[09:42] <Sharp_eyes> ????
[09:42] <Whabo> while ill get u a solution
[09:43] <fde> Wait, a "techie" fried his brain editing xorg.xonf? That file is pretty easy to understand  :/
[09:43] <fde> xorg.conf*
[09:44] <Techie> yeah, techie is my clan name, i work with game servers
[09:44] <fde> But you can't figure out xorg.conf?
[09:44] <Whabo> techie
[09:44] <Kartagis> !wma
[09:44] <Whabo> CAN i PM YOU?
[09:44] <HorizonXP> ok, so just figured out that I can't enable my CPU's VT bit in my BIOS because of stupid Acer. so what's the best software for running WinXP virtualized? Virtualbox? QEMU & KVM?
[09:44] <Whabo> ill tell you how to do it
[09:44] <Techie> i did figure it out, its that it failed horibly
[09:44] <Techie> yes if you need to
[09:44] <Whabo> ok
[09:44] <Kartagis> what can i use to convert wma to mp3?
[09:45] <fde> Techie: look up how to disable BulletProofX
[09:45] <fde> Kartagis: ffmpeg or mencoder
[09:45] <Seven_Six_Two> Kartagis, you need the w32codec package
[09:45] <fde> Seven_Six_Two: no he doesn't
[09:45] <chilli0> ikonia:  im back
[09:45] <Seven_Six_Two> no?
[09:46] <fde> Seven_Six_Two: no, ffmpeg can do it... and mencoder can do it via ffmpeg codecs too
[09:46] <Seven_Six_Two> have they always been able to?
[09:47] <Kartagis> thanks fde and Seven_Six_Two
[09:47] <fde> Seven_Six_Two: I have no idea, I switched from w32codecs to ffmpeg about 5 years ago, and its been possible since then
[09:47] <Seven_Six_Two> oh ok. I haven't come across one in a long time
[09:49] <dirtyhawk> HorizonXP: in my opinion the EASIEST way would be virtualbox.
[09:49] <fde> HorizonXP: without the VT extension... more than likely VirtualBox
[09:49] <dirtyhawk> HorizonXP: qemu and kvm are quite the same when running without hardware virtualization
[09:50] <fde> HorizonXP: Qemu lacks decent tools to manage it, but it may have better performance for the VM... KVM relies heavily on the hardware support though
[09:50] <selinuxium> erUSUL: not for logmein.com  Do you know another site I can try?

[09:51] <monsoon_king> hi i have ubuntu 8.04 installed...recently i added kde desktop in ubuntu using apt-get install kubuntu-desktop.....how do i remove it??
[09:51] <HorizonXP> thanks guys. stupid Acer. I bought this laptop for the VT.
[09:51] <dirtyhawk> fde + HorizonXP: true, and virtualbox makes it very easy to manage your machines
[09:51] <donnie__> what about VMware?
[09:52] <fde> monsoon_king: theoretically, just removing 'kubuntu-desktop' and running aptitude upgrade should get rid of everything
[09:52] <HorizonXP> !virtualbox
[09:52] <Jordan_U> monsoon_king: "sudo apt-get autoremove" after removing kubuntu-desktop
[09:52] <dirtyhawk> HorizonXP: did you look for a BIOS upgrade to enable VT?
[09:52] <donnie__> sorry I just woke up :)
[09:52] <chsmrs> hi folks. i use rdesktop to connect from my hardy machine to a windows 2003 terminal server. but the clipboard is not working, i canot copy/paste anything. i use rdpv5 and pass the option -r clipboard:PRIMARYCLIPBOARD.... anybody an idea what might be the problem?
[09:52] <fde> donnie__: non-free and no better than virtualbox
[09:52] <dirtyhawk> right
[09:52] <donnie__> fde: no better as in equal to in performance or you're saying virtualbox outruns VMware in performance?
[09:52] <HorizonXP> dirtyhawk: yeah, but I think it needs windows to run. and there's no readme, so no idea if it will actually fix what i need
[09:53] <fde> donnie__: the latter in my experience.
[09:53] <monsoon_king> Jordan_U, fde  .....whats the command to remove it
[09:53] <dirtyhawk> HorizonXP: as you said. stupid acer
[09:53] <fde> monsoon_king: aptitude purge kubuntu-desktop
[09:53] <donnie__> ok.. I never tried virtualbox... cause I have a vmware license... its been on my todo list forever... maybe I should try...
[09:53] <Jordan_U> monsoon_king: "sudo apt-get remove kubuntu-desktop"
[09:53] <fde> monsoon_king: sudo that
[09:53] <donnie__> I bought a license for the new crossover... wow ... crossover games makes cedega looks like a 4 year old schoolgirl
[09:53] <fde> monsoon_king: both will work... I just prefer aptitude
[09:53] <erUSUL> selinuxium: quick ggogle search http://javaboutique.internet.com/shark/ works here
[09:53] <HorizonXP> dirtyhawk: yeah, definitely making my next machine a non-acer. and a desktop first
[09:54] <Whabo> monsoon_king just use this sudo apt-get remove kubuntu-desktop
[09:54] <monsoon_king> Jordan_U,  fde  Thankz a lot guys
[09:54] <monsoon_king> Whabo,  ok
[09:54] <Whabo> np
[09:54] <ardchoille> removing kubuntu-desktop won't take all of kde out with it
[09:55] <drindt> hello iam fresh installed in my unbuntu 8.0.4 lts the proftpd but seems it lacks of the mysql features, iam now see that /usr/sbin/proftpd -V told me that no binding exist to mysql is this a bug?
[09:55] <Jordan_U> monsoon_king: np
[09:55] <redrebel> i'm writting a script in bash, and i'm not sure how to check if $var is greater than 0
[09:55] <redrebel> i tried if [ $ppid >= 0 ]; then
[09:55] <redrebel> doesn't like it
[09:56] <deoks> redrebel: Read the manpages? :)
[09:56] <erUSUL> redrebel: afaik it is → if [ [$ppid >= 0] ]; then
[09:56] <redrebel> if [ $ppid -gt 0 ]; then
[09:56] <chilli0> ikonia:  you there?
[09:57] <deoks> redrebel: Yes.
[09:57] <redrebel> it doesn't like that either
[09:57] <dirtyhawk> redrebel: [ $ppid -ge 0 ];then
[09:57] <herve> Hi
[09:57] <herve> I have a question
[09:57] <redrebel> i guet a expr: missing operand
[09:57] <dirtyhawk> redrebel: -gt makes "greater then", -ge "greater or equal"
[09:57] <herve> How can I see what another user is doing on my ubuntu box ?
[09:57] <Jordan_U> redrebel: Then $ppid is probably blank
[09:58] <histo> herve: when you're not there?
[09:58] <fde> herve: 'w'
[09:58] <histo> herve: or remotely?
[09:58] <herve> when I am on the box
[09:58] <a1len> I'm getting this error File /home/allen/.fetchmailrc must have no more than -rwx--x--- (0710) permissions.... I fixed it with one terminal entry before, but I forgot what it was... anyone know what it is?
[09:58] <histo> How is the other user using it? via ssh?
[09:59] <herve> yes via SSH or the Desktop
[09:59] <Seven_Six_Two> allen, what permissions does the directory currently have?
[09:59] <fde> a1len: chmod 710 .fetchmailrc
[09:59] <a1len> fde: Thanks :D
[09:59] <fde> a1len: uhh... make that ~/.fetchmailrc
[09:59] <redrebel> Jordan_U, i think you are right
[09:59] <herve> the other user is using nx client
[09:59] <a1len> fde: I figured that XD
[09:59] <deoks> redrebel: You're doing something wrong. Just tried it with bash, if [ $var -ge 0 ]; then ... works.
[10:00] <erUSUL> a1len: sudo chmod 0710 /home/allen/.fetchmailrc
[10:00] <histo> herve: you can check out the logs. Monitoring the nx client would be difficult you may have to enable desktop sharing for that user and disable the notifications for them and eavesdrop
[10:00] <fde> a1len: simple math really... read = 4 ... write = 2 ... execute = 1 .... they're in blocks of three for user/group/other
[10:00] <herve> Is there a way to view what the other user is doing on NX client ?
[10:01] <histo> herve: why would you give someone access to your computer that you don't trust in the first place?
[10:01] <herve> histo: what is eavesdrop ?
[10:01] <costco> herve spyware is a bit hard to come by in Linux
[10:01] <r0land> hi all
[10:01] <a1len> fde: I was struggling with all this earlier today. I just needed to walk away from my computer for a couple of hours, now I'm trying it again. New to Ubuntu still.
[10:02] <costco> if you want spyware please use Windows
[10:02] <fde> a1len: you rarely have to mess with the first bit though... but technically it'd be chmod 0710 in this case - it just defines the setuid
[10:02] <dirtyhawk> redrebel: http://paste.ubuntu.com/74710/ should work
[10:02] <r0land> is there any command that shows currently connected applications and to which destinations tht i could use on ubuntu ?!
[10:02] <herve> what log should I tail to see the latest command he ran ?
[10:02] <a1len> fde: And if it tells me I'm not the owner, sudo chown ~/foobar?
[10:02] <redrebel> thanks dirtyhawk
[10:02] <histo> herve: a word it means to listen to a private conversation.
[10:02] <a1len> sudo chown me ~/foobar?
[10:03] <ActionParsnip> yo yo yo
[10:03] <redrebel> i just realized my variable was not initialized
[10:03] <fde> a1len: chmod .... yes
[10:03] <elpargo> is there some RSS feed that shows all new packages added to the ubuntu repos? by new I want first time additions not version updates
[10:03] <fde> a1len: chown changes the owner of the file... whereas chgrp changes group
[10:03] <ikonia> elpargo nope
[10:03] <ardchoille> elpargo: that doesn't happen
[10:03] <Seven_Six_Two> sudo chown user.group <fileordir>
[10:04] <elpargo> how about one for all updates?
[10:04] <Elmnas> hi guys can someone please help me with my ubuntu I have installed kde but when I log in with kde session I get a error meesage
[10:04] <r0land> anyone?! any command to show currently connected applications and to which destination ?
[10:04] <fde> elpargo: no... but you can get all new packages via a a mailing list if you want?
[10:04] <ikonia> elpargo no idea as update-manager will alert you to updates, so I don't see the need
[10:04] <a1len> fde: What's the difference? Pertaining to a network or multiple users on one machine?
[10:04] <ActionParsnip> Elmnas: whats the error?
[10:04] <redrebel> ah. bash is sensitive to white space!?
[10:04] <Elmnas> it says
[10:04] <ardchoille> elpargo: you can use this one for security updates: http://www.ubuntu.com/rss.xml
[10:04] <ActionParsnip> redrebel: its case sensitive to everything
[10:05] <Elmnas> /etc/gdm/Xsession: Beginning session setup...
[10:05] <elpargo> fde, you mean all updates to packages?
[10:05] <elpargo> ikonia, yes but that is installed locally not *all*
[10:05] <erUSUL> r0land: sudo netstat -putan
[10:05] <ActionParsnip> Elmnas: log onto gnome and run: mv ~/.kde ~/.kde_old
[10:05] <elpargo> ardantus, thanks
[10:05] <ActionParsnip> Elmnas: log off and log on to kde
[10:05] <fde> a1len: groups allow you to give permissions to multiple users.... usually most useful on a network, yes, but if you type 'group' in a terminal you'll see its used on desktop machines too to define who can do what
[10:06] <r0land> erUSUL thank you :)
[10:06] <Elmnas> actionparasnip
[10:06] <Elmnas> wait
[10:06] <Elmnas> I write the whole message
[10:06] <Elmnas> 1 sek
[10:06] <Elmnas> takes some time
[10:06] <a1len> fde: Sweet. This isn't so hard if you take it one step at a time XD
[10:06] <fde> elpargo: yes, that is the closest you'll get to what you want
[10:06] <ActionParsnip> Elmnas: use pastebin if its more than a few lines
[10:06] <ActionParsnip> !paste | Elmnas
[10:07] <selinuxium> erUSUL: Cheers, it does appear to be working... :)
[10:07] <erUSUL> selinuxium: no problem
[10:07] <r0land> erUSUL  have a prob with my firewall.. each time i restat my pc, it blocks all access! i had to install Firestarted, and eachtime click on "stop firewall" in order for me to have internet access... any advice?
[10:07] <fde> elpargo: doh, it's 'groups' ... but yeah, those all give you different permissions on the system...
[10:07] <elpargo> ok I'll see if there is a way to build one. there has to be a hook in launchpad for added packages, thanks guys
[10:07] <erUSUL> selinuxium: it does fails crating albums in facebook thought :|
[10:07] <Equ4L> sup nigs
[10:08] <elpargo> fde, groups? wrong person?
[10:08] <erUSUL> r0land: so it is firesatrter? disable/uninstall it?
[10:08] <ActionParsnip> r0land: allow the http traffic through, you will want to configure your firewall to allow legitimate data through
[10:08] <fde> elpargo: no, type 'groups' instead of 'group' in my previous comment
[10:09] <r0land> erUSUL this prob occured before firestarter i had to instal it so i disable the firewall in a gui based manner since im not familiar with command lines yet..
[10:09] <r0land> ActionParsnip thats wht im having a prob with
[10:09] <fde> erUSUL: unfortunately you can't just uninstall firestarter and have things go back to normal... the iptables rules it creates are kept
[10:09] <r0land> fde thats whts happening with me..
[10:09] <erUSUL> fde: well i personally use firehol... so dunno
[10:09] <ActionParsnip> r0land: read some firestarter guides to put basic security on
[10:10] <erUSUL> fde: even if you --purge ??

[10:10] <r0land> ActionParsnip i did.. and whenever i do so! it immediatly blocks everything
[10:10] <fde> r0land: you can remove the rules from iptables itself....
[10:10] <elpargo> fde, huh? isn't that for allen?
[10:10] <Elmnas> what will I do?
[10:10] <fde> erUSUL: firestarter package doesn't own iptables config files... so yes
[10:10] <alassiry> After upgrading to 8.10, I'm unable to use vnc, it just complains about xrandr missing ... tried googling with no success. any ideas
[10:10] <alassiry> ?
[10:10] <r0land> fde a newbie here.. any advice on how to.. ?
[10:10] <fde> elpargo: haha.. ooops... yes
[10:11] <ropetin> r0land: there is a fairly simple CLI way to flush all Iptable rules
[10:11] <r0land> ropetin if you could provide it,that would be appreciated
[10:11] <ropetin> r0land: do a Google search for 'flush all iptables rules'
[10:11] <ActionParsnip> Elmnas: login to gnome and run: sudo mkdir /var/tmp/kdecache-daniel
[10:11] <r0land> ok thank you
[10:11] <Elmnas> ok ok
[10:11] <ropetin> It's 6 or 7 commands
[10:11] <Elmnas> as root?
[10:11] <ropetin> Basically saying get rid of everything, then set everything to allow
[10:12] <headcheese> if I needed to re-installed the Update Manager, what package would that be called?
[10:12] <ActionParsnip> Elmnas: some user in the admin group, you shouldnt be loggin on as root EVER
[10:12] <fde> r0land: iptables -L will show you the current rules... iptables -D will delete them
[10:12] <Arjuna_cakep>   Purwokerto
[10:12] <r0land> k thanks
[10:12] <Elmnas> ok done
[10:12] <ActionParsnip> Elmnas: enabling the root account makes your system less secure
[10:12] <Elmnas> ok ok
[10:12] <Arjuna_cakep> hai
[10:13] <r0land> thank you all very much
[10:13] <ActionParsnip> Elmnas: now try logging on to kde
[10:13] <erUSUL> r0land: it is "sudo iptables -F"
[10:13] <Elmnas> ok ok
[10:13] <r0land> erUSUL ive tried tht actualy
[10:14] <r0land> "sudo iptables -F nat -t
[10:14] <Elmnas> works :D:D
[10:14] <alassiry> After upgrading to 8.10, I'm unable to use vnc, it just complains about xrandr missing ... tried googling with no success. any ideas?
[10:14] <Elmnas> THANX A LOT actionparsnip
[10:14] <ActionParsnip> Elmnas: cool :)
[10:15] <ActionParsnip> Elmnas: if your account is a member of the Admin group, you have as much power as root
[10:15] <ActionParsnip> Elmnas: there is absolutely no reason to enable it
[10:16] <alassiry> Elmnas: root is evil.... I used to enable it on Ubuntu, then I used sudo bash for a long time ... I don't do any of those anymore.
[10:16] <Elmnas> I use sudo bash too
[10:16] <Elmnas> or sudo su
[10:16] <Elmnas> what the different between sudo su and sudo bash?
[10:16] <ActionParsnip> Elmnas: sudo -i is preffered
[10:16] <blizzkid> lo all, does anyone know what tool/package sets the shell for the Live session user?
[10:16] <fde> Elmnas: the correct way to do that is 'sudo -l'  :/
[10:16] <Elmnas> ok ok
[10:16] <fde> wait, I think I mean sudo -i too
[10:16] <ActionParsnip> Elmnas: but again, just sudo what you need
[10:16] <JackWinter> or change the password for root and login as root :)  but it is evil
[10:17] <Elmnas> okej I have another problem now umm
[10:17] <Elmnas> when Im in kde now the start up meny is to way big
[10:17] <Elmnas> how do I change it? its out of the screen
[10:17] <mzuverink> antone else suffering from multiple letter showing up afte a hey stroke?  like thiiiiis
[10:17] <ActionParsnip> Elmnas: you can drag the top right corner of it
[10:18] <fde> Elmnas: you'd need to change resolution... but that will be pretty huge also... heh
[10:18] <Elmnas> haha how I do change the resolution?
[10:18] <Elmnas> I have a eeepc 901
[10:18] <fde> ActionParsnip: chances are he's at 800x600 or less currently if kickstart is that huge
[10:18] <ActionParsnip> those are sweeeet
[10:18] <Elmnas> standard resolution is 1024 x 600
[10:18] <ActionParsnip> fde: id imagine it uses the same res as gnome?
[10:19] <fde> Elmnas: in systemsettings ... 'display' option
[10:19] <alassiry> mzuverink: ye, after the upgrade to 8.10
[10:19] <doctorow> I'm trying to upgrade to Ibex, but it says my root partition isn't big enough. I'm using lvm and I have another empty partition. How do I expand my root partition temporarily for the install?
[10:19] <marabu_> ahoj
[10:19] <ActionParsnip> Elmnas: you will need to use the disaply options to use a higher resolution
[10:19] <Elmnas> its on 1024 x 600 but all is to big anyway what will I do?
[10:19] <fde> ActionParsnip: I'm not entirely sure tbh, but if kickstart is that large, I'd imagine its not...
[10:19] <marabu_> je tu nějakej čech
[10:20] <ActionParsnip> fde: true enough, Ive always use xorg.conf which is global ;)
[10:20] <fde> ActionParsnip: on 1024x768 is certainly wouldn't go off the screen on initial startup
[10:20] <mzuverink> alassiry, you figure out how to fix it or file a br?
[10:20] <Elmnas> okej how I fix it? is it hard ?
[10:20] <fde> ActionParsnip: can't use that anymore though unless you turn off BulletProofX  :S
[10:21] <ActionParsnip> fde: works on my 8.10 system
[10:21] <wers> !samba
[10:21] <alassiry> mzuverink, not fixed, it's quite rare, but sometimes it does that
[10:21] <mzuverink> ala, ok
[10:21] <mzuverink> alassiry, ok
[10:21] <Elmnas> actionParsnip how I disaply options for a higher resolution?
[10:22] <ActionParsnip> Elmnas: right click desktop -> run command
[10:22] <fde> ActionParsnip: hmm, well I've tried on several distros that are using at least Xorg 7.3 that have enabled BulletProofX and it just refuses to give me the resolution I request
[10:22] <ActionParsnip> Elmnas: kdesudo kcontrol
[10:22] <ActionParsnip> fde: what gfx card?
[10:22] <fde> ActionParsnip: (although, my monitor isn't actually supposed to go this large, so that could be why, but I refuse to use anything lower)
[10:22] <ActionParsnip> fde: 1024x768 is all i use
[10:23] <fde> ActionParsnip: I don't need assistance
[10:23] <ActionParsnip> fde: i guessed :D
[10:23] <Elmnas> comand not found
[10:23] <fde> ActionParsnip: I use 1280x1024 ....
[10:23] <static07> I've just installed 8.10 at home
[10:24] <static07> but none of the nforce drivers seem to be loaded
[10:24] <fde> ActionParsnip: with BulletProofX though it selects 1024x768 and refuses to use anything else for X itself, but still allows my preferred resolution for the user xsessions... it's rather strange  :/
[10:24] <Elmnas> I install it now actionParsnip
[10:24] <ActionParsnip> Elmnas: install what?
[10:24] <Elmnas> kdesudo kcontrol
[10:24] <Elmnas> I havent it..
[10:25] <fde> ActionParsnip: In the about a year since BulletProofX came about, I have gradually hated it more and more... heh...
[10:25] <Elmnas> ok im in now
[10:25] <ActionParsnip> Elmnas: kdesudo lets you run kde apps with root priveledges, kcontrol is an app
[10:25] <Elmnas> okej
[10:25] <ActionParsnip> Elmnas: you should be able to set screen res from there, use alt + drag if it goes off the screen
[10:25] <ardchoille> Elmnas: are you using Intrepid?
[10:26] <ActionParsnip> i forget the name exactly as Im not on my kubuntu system
[10:26] <histo> fde: how often could you possibly be seeing it?
[10:28] <Elmnas> I cant find the screen tab
[10:28] <Elmnas> Im not using intrepid
[10:28] <fde> histo: every time I install a new distro, I try to live with it until it annoys me.... so you'd be surprised... I go through about 200 disks a year trying new distros
[10:28] <Elmnas> will I do it ?
[10:28] <ActionParsnip> Elmnas: yes, you just gotta find out where in your desktop they hide the settings for resolution
[10:29] <ardchoille> I believe it is in the Preipherals section of kcontrol
[10:29] <ardchoille> monitor
[10:29] <fde> histo: I'm only trying Ubuntu Intrepid right now because I'm bored with Fedora toys right now and wasn't finding any bugs to help out with... didn't much care when it was released, and probably won't be around long
[10:29] <ljuwaidah> Hi
[10:29] <Elmnas> im not as root i fuwss
[10:29] <Elmnas> now"
[10:29] <Elmnas> I guess
[10:29] <ljuwaidah> i installed blueman and the bluetooth applet stopped working
[10:30] <ljuwaidah> even now that i've removed it
[10:30] <ljuwaidah> it's still not working
[10:30] <Elmnas> im in size and orentation now on display system settings
[10:30] <Elmnas> but I cant get higher than 1024 x 600
[10:31] <ActionParsnip> http://www.digitalversus.com/article-499-3883-150.html
[10:32] <ActionParsnip> Elmnas: look at the specifications, 1024x600 is the max res the screen can pull
[10:33] <Elmnas> its max
[10:33] <ActionParsnip> yes
[10:33]  * ActionParsnip would run fluxbox on an eee pc
[10:33] <Elmnas> im in display - system settings and when I choose size is 1024 x 600 biggest
[10:34] <ActionParsnip> yes 1024 x 600 is the highest resolution the screen can do
[10:34] <Elmnas> ok but I wonder why all stuff are to way big anyway?
[10:34] <ActionParsnip> kde has a fatass task manager bar
[10:34] <chuxxsss> hi all anyone no how I can remove return char from kate say to fix a PGP key
[10:35] <fde> ActionParsnip: eh... by default perhaps... just make it smaller  :/
[10:35] <ActionParsnip> fde: ive never delved that far with kwin
[10:35] <doctorow> I'm trying to upgrade to Ibex, but it says my root partition isn't big enough. I'm using lvm and I have another empty partition. How do I expand my root partition temporarily for the install?
[10:35] <fde> ActionParsnip: well... it has nothing to do with kwin... so that's no excuse  ;)
[10:36] <ActionParsnip> fde: i use fluxbox mainly, i have very little experience of any of the kde goodness except the apps it gives, including plasma
[10:36] <duckabolo> Hi all, ubuntu 8.10 seems to have problems with Intel's ICH9 :( im not getting sound working.  did a search on "ICH9 ubuntu" and it does seems the issue isn't resoved?  guess i'll have to wait for few more days for fedora10 and hopefully that'd work.
[10:37] <fde> ActionParsnip: in KDE4, Plasma handles the taskbar ... so if you're familiar with that, you should be familiar with how to make the task bar smaller
[10:37] <ActionParsnip> fde: as i said, i dot use plasma
[10:38] <ActionParsnip> fde: i do use kde though
[10:38] <EXP_> i have this file http://www.support.xerox.com/go/getfile.asp?Xlang=en_FI&XCntry=FIN&objid=58093&EULA=1&prodID=WC7132&Family=WorkCentre&ripId=&langs=English&plats=Linux&Xtype=download&uType=#suppprod how i can istall it?
[10:38] <fde> ActionParsnip: KDE is the most featureful desktop around, but it lacks a lot of the polish that Gnome can boast - mostly because Gnome has more paid developers that work on the boring stuff
[10:39] <fde> ActionParsnip: I switch back and forth between them regularly though... having kio's leaking memory gets old
[10:39] <ActionParsnip> EXP_: tar xvf /path/to/Linuxi386XPXX_4.10.08.tar
[10:39] <chuxxsss> hi all anyone no how I can remove return char from kate say to fix a PGP key
[10:40] <ActionParsnip> fde: i just love fluxbox :)
[10:41] <fde> ActionParsnip: never been able to stomach any *box for long... unless you play with your xsession a lot, it is a pain having to load and maintain the libs for each app/desktop
[10:41] <jason_> grep http prints lines with http in them, including other stuff on the lines, how would i print the http link only?
[10:41] <EXP_> inside that is a file setup, how i cna run that?
[10:41] <headcheese> anyone know why I have to use my middle mouse button to set focus to the desktop?  I only have to do it once right after logging in, other wise I can left click on the desktop all day and nothing happens.
[10:41] <ActionParsnip> fde: i web browse, chat and play 3 games. I dont do any of that stuff you mentioned
[10:41] <[eXception]> can I open a terminal from the filebrowser in the current folder?
[10:42] <fde> ActionParsnip: would rather just use a desktop that uses those libs, and load them once for everything... feels much more snappy that way
[10:42] <ActionParsnip> [eXception]: yeah I think its on the right click menu?
[10:43] <mapreduce> I have a suspicion that the drivers Ubuntu's using for my graphics card might not be exposing the maximum resolution the card has.  How can I see what card it is?  I don't seem to spot it by reading the output from dmesg.
[10:43] <ardchoille> [eXception]: there's a package that will let you do that: sudo apt-get install nautilus-open-terminal
[10:43] <ActionParsnip> mapreduce: lspci will show what card it is
[10:43] <ActionParsnip> mapreduce: lspci | grep -i vga
[10:44] <[eXception]> thx
[10:44] <mapreduce> 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82945G/GZ Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02)
[10:44] <mapreduce> 00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation 82945G/GZ Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02)
[10:44] <mapreduce> Does that mean there are two of them?
[10:44] <[eXception]> and now my broblem is screenresolution in virtualbox :/
[10:44] <ActionParsnip> oh not another intel thing :(
[10:44] <ActionParsnip> [eXception]: have you install the guest additions?
[10:44] <[eXception]> yes..  I clicked on LinuxAddons.run
[10:44] <ActionParsnip> mapreduce: if its onboard then I doubt it
[10:45] <mapreduce> ActionParsnip: I don't know what it is, as I haven't opened the box up.  It's my work machine, set up before I started.
[10:45] <fde> mapreduce: they appear to be the same card... but the PCI bus id is different... I guess this is a known issue though
[10:45] <[eXception]> now I try with sudo sh
[10:46] <st3ph> brb
[10:46] <ActionParsnip> [eXception]: in the VM click devices in the menu bar
[10:46] <cypha> can i watch a WM7 activex control required streaming video?
[10:46] <ActionParsnip> mapreduce: it'll be a single device
[10:46] <attid> i have problem with automount flesh\cd and other. if i powerOn my computer it not work. but if i will reboot after it all work. what can i do ? =(
[10:46] <mapreduce> I'll check the data sheet for it for the max resolution.
[10:46] <ActionParsnip> attid: sudo mount -a
[10:46] <fde> mapreduce: the top one is the same as mine... but I don't have any issues....
 thx mate
[10:47] <Elmnas> can someone please help me I im the kde controlc enter but I cant  change the font size I cant see the apply button when I move the window
[10:47] <ljuwaidah> brb, i think i got it to work
[10:47] <mapreduce> fde: I don't have any issues either, I was just wondering whether there are resolutions above what I'm using.
[10:47] <fde> mapreduce: if its not showing up, then no...
[10:48] <mapreduce> The datasheet for it from intel suggests there are.
[10:48] <fde> mapreduce: right click kmenu ... and choose "classic menu" instead... might be more manageable
[10:48] <fde> Wait, were you the dude with that issue? I forget
[10:49] <attid> ActionParsnip, it will mount only fstab but not new device
[10:49] <mapreduce> I'm not using kmenu, I'm using gnome's.
[10:49] <fde> mapreduce: oh... then there isn't anything you can really do
[10:49] <mapreduce> The maximum res shows as 1280x800; what are you using?
[10:50] <ardchoille> !mplayer > me
[10:51] <darkdeeper> i cant seem to get frostwire to work
[10:51] <darkdeeper> anyhelp.
[10:51] <darkdeeper> !frostwire
[10:51] <darkdeeper> !info frostwird
[10:51] <darkdeeper> !info frostwire
[10:51] <fde> darkdeeper: its frostwire ... but that's not there either
[10:51] <[eXception]> whats ctrl+alt+f8 ?
[10:52] <darkdeeper> save mode for gui
[10:52] <fde> [eXception]: it is your second X session, if you've started one
[10:52] <[eXception]> ok
[10:52] <cypha> ardchoille, was that for me?
[10:52] <khoder> bonjour à tous
[10:52] <darkdeeper> !fr
[10:52] <khoder> hello all
[10:53] <ron2nix> hi
[10:53] <darkdeeper> hai.
[10:53] <[eXception]> whats the  difference when I open terminal with ctrl+alt+f1 or from the gui /applications/addons/terminal ?
[10:53] <fde> Actually, no its not... it appears to be part of the start up sequence... wtf?  well, I guess ctrl+alt+f9 would be the second X session?
[10:53] <ActionParsnip> attid: then your cd rom should be in fstab
[10:53] <khoder> anybody can halp ? I have a question as a new user
[10:53] <ardchoille> cypha: nope, I sent it to "me" ;)
[10:53] <fde> [eXception]: one is a terminal emulator, the other is an actual terminal?
[10:53] <cypha> oh
[10:53] <ikonia> khoder: go for it
[10:53] <cypha> would you happen to know?
[10:54] <darkdeeper> tty1 if mostly use by administrator that dont have gui install in their linux
[10:54] <cypha> can a WM player stream happen on ubuntu?
[10:54] <cypha> it needs a WM7 activeX control
[10:54] <[eXception]> fde: wich one is the emulator?
[10:54] <fde> darkdeeper: I use it all the time if I can't be asked to click about for the terminal
[10:54] <fde> [eXception]: the GUI
[10:54] <attid> ActionParsnip, but i have flesh and usb harddisk
[10:54] <static07> help, I've just installed ubuntu but network/soundcard/videocard isn't working, I think nforce drivers aren't loaded
[10:54] <ardchoille> cypha: No idea, I haven't used anything Microsoft related in 7 years
[10:55] <khoder> thanx I would like to know where are the files .I downloaded something from amule and I could not find them ? where are there ?
[10:55] <[eXception]> ok thx, so its better to make proper things not in the emulator?
[10:55] <darkdeeper> fde, yeah i use it when im using slackware... but i got bored with text mode so tats y i have ubuntu for my house
[10:55] <cypha> ardantus, it's streaming, i have no choice
[10:55] <attid> ActionParsnip, i dont undestand why it work only after reboot not after power_on
[10:55] <cypha> ardchoille,
[10:55] <uffo> Can someone give me .deb package that enables file sharing in ubuntu, i need this for completley offline computers - these computers on farm do not have internet so .deb package is needed
[10:55] <cypha> i mean
[10:55] <ardchoille> cypha: I understand, but I know nothing about it to be able to help you with it :(
[10:55] <cypha> no prob
[10:55] <cypha> thanks
[10:55] <fde> cypha: there is a firefox plugin for that... search the add-ons thing for 'activex' ...
[10:55] <darkdeeper> [eXception], what do u mean?
[10:56] <cypha> add/remove applications? fde
[10:56] <[eXception]> darkdeeper: no I'm just a ubuntu noob and I try to learn...
[10:56] <fde> cypha: is that what I said?
[10:56] <ardchoille> cypha:  https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/
[10:56] <ChrisBookwood> Hi
[10:57] <cypha> thanks
[10:57] <ActionParsnip> attid: can we see your /etc/fstab please
[10:57] <fde> cypha: Firefox > Tools > Add-ons ... just search that
[10:57] <cypha> looking now
[10:57] <[eXception]> darkdeeper: is it good to do all the administrative things with emulator or should I prefer ctrl+alt+f1 ?
[10:57] <darkdeeper> [eXception], actually its the same thing.both terminal or tty..
[10:57] <ChrisBookwood> My screenresolution is currently set to 1280x800, and i can't seem to get it higher, but is there some hack i can implement to make it possible to get a higher resolution?
[10:57] <fde> cypha: going via the web interface directly is tedious
[10:57] <[eXception]> k thx
[10:57] <histo> Okay I have a samba share on my system that is writable from users on my home network. When a user writes a file there it gets owned by nobody:nogroup.  I can't modify the file or delete it now.
[10:57] <darkdeeper> [eXception], its easier to use terminal rather then tty... its the same thing actually.... so no problem there.
[10:57] <histo> Is there a way to fix this so that it gets written in a different way?
[10:58] <ActionParsnip> histo: sudo chown <your username> /path/to/file
[10:58] <ActionParsnip> histo: then rm it
[10:58] <histo> ActionParsnip: I should I have mentioned I know about chown i'm trying to figure out how to prevent this behavior from happening.
[10:58] <ActionParsnip> histo: when you connect to the share are you challenged for a password?
[10:58] <histo> no
[10:58] <omegaomni> hey people.
[10:58] <histo> ActionParsnip: share is open to everyone.
[10:58] <ardchoille> cypha: What kind of media is that streaming? Windows media? Real media?
[10:58] <ActionParsnip> histo: sudo smbpasswd <your username>
[10:59] <uffo>  Can someone give me .deb package that enables file sharing in ubuntu, i need this for completley offline computers - these computers on farm do not have internet so .deb package is needed for offline
[10:59] <omegaomni> i need help configureing my WINE.
[10:59] <fde> ActionParsnip: he should actually edit /etc/samba/smb.conf and change default perms ... but I would rather not guide him through that, it'll take a while
[10:59] <attid> ActionParsnip, there are only hdd
[10:59] <histo> ActionParsnip: ?
[10:59] <ActionParsnip> histo: this will make you need to authenticate, and the files will have owners
[10:59] <ActionParsnip> attid: you should have a line for cdrom in there
[10:59] <cypha> fde, i now have a screen in the video that says "(no video)"
[10:59] <darkdeeper> uffo, u already got one install.. its call samba
[10:59] <omegaomni> i need help configuring my WINE installation.
[10:59] <fde> cypha: do you have codecs installed?
[10:59] <darkdeeper> omegaomni, what kind of help..
[11:00] <cypha> and a popup says "unknown playertype"
[11:00] <omegaomni> like the help that has to do with a distorted font.
[11:00] <cypha> fde, i believe so
[11:00] <darkdeeper> omegaomni, ur font distorted?
[11:00] <omegaomni> all th words appear broken and distorted.
[11:00] <fde> cypha: I would bet you don't... what is listed in 'about:plugins' for firefox?
[11:00] <uffo> darkdeeper: where is that samba carnival thing, on cd?
[11:00] <darkdeeper> nvr actually happen to me..
[11:01] <omegaomni> in WINE it scrambles around for me.
[11:01] <ActionParsnip> attid:
[11:01] <ActionParsnip> http://pastebin.com/f2c3edda9
[11:01] <omegaomni> not sure for anyone else.
[11:01] <darkdeeper> yup.. samba come by defauld during installtion of 8.10
[11:01] <cypha> fde, how can i concisely show you that?
[11:01] <attid> ActionParsnip, you don`t undestand me. i ask aboute automount by pmount when i insert usb device it can be sda\sdb\sdc it can be fat\ntfs
[11:01] <darkdeeper> omegaomni, what did u run ....i mean what program did u install
[11:01] <ironrose> I can't get sound working on my guest XP on VirtualBox. I've tried everything. Can someone help?
[11:01] <uffo> darkdeeper: but when i try to enable sharing it wants some BillG service to be installed
[11:02] <fde> cypha: just look down the list and see if you see the correct codecs for things like wmv etc
[11:02] <uffo> darkdeeper: but i do not need windows i need ubuntu to ubuntu
[11:02] <omegaomni> i didnt install anything because of it...every windows window that appears has a distorted font. even the config windows.
[11:02] <cypha> i have x-ms-asf
[11:02] <ikonia> uffo: what's the issue - exactly
[11:02] <cypha> and x-mplayer2, and x-ms-wmv
[11:02] <ActionParsnip> attid: i'd add the cdrom line to your fstab and it will be mount -a able
[11:02] <ActionParsnip> attid: thats al i got
[11:02] <ActionParsnip> *all
[11:03] <fde> cypha: then ime it should just work... hmm
[11:03] <jim_p> http://hall-of-fame.ubuntu.com/
[11:03] <cypha> x-ms-wms x-ms-wma
[11:03] <jim_p> :|
[11:03] <darkdeeper> omegaomni, no idea then.. try reinstall
[11:03] <ActionParsnip> xmas?
[11:03] <omegaomni> i did.
[11:03] <cypha> pretty werid
[11:03] <darkdeeper> uffo, hmmm
[11:04] <darkdeeper> uffo, no idea.. someone maybe can help u on this.
[11:04] <cypha> fde: how can i run my windows from within ubuntu?
[11:04] <cypha> i already have a vista partition
[11:04] <uffo> darkdeeper: i need simple filesharing between ubuntu
[11:04] <darkdeeper> cypha, use virtual box or vmware
[11:04] <ardchoille> cypha: I was just reading about that, streaming media:  sudo apt-get install mplayer-mozilla ubuntu-restricted-extras
[11:04] <omegaomni> but i did study it a bit...i need to find a way to stop my graphics driver from affecting WINE
[11:04] <omegaomni> my driver version for nvidia is 96.43.09
[11:05] <ikonia> uffo: what is the problem ?
[11:05] <darkdeeper> omegaomni, did ur gui working ok..?? or the distrotion font just happen when u try to run wine configuration
[11:05] <fde> cypha: only thing I can think of that might be wrong... try using the User Agent Switcher addon and tell it you're using a IE too... that is the only difference to my setup, and I haven't come across any issues
[11:05] <uffo> ikonia: why there is filesharing option with right click but it wont work out of the box
[11:05] <omegaomni> just WINE.
[11:05] <ikonia> uffo: define won't work
[11:06] <cypha> fde, what's the User Agent Switcher?
[11:06] <cypha> or where
[11:06] <uffo> ikonia: it wants to install windows filesharing service
[11:06] <ActionParsnip> uffo: want to do it the easy way and edit smb.conf rather than a silly gu?
[11:06] <omegaomni> its my graphics card driver...when its running the font is distorted...when its off the font is fine.
[11:06] <fde> cypha: search for it in the same place I told you to search for activex
[11:06] <ikonia> uffo: what is the exact thing it wants to install
[11:06] <fde> ikonia: it installs samba
[11:06] <cypha> ardchoille, can't find package mplayer-mozilla
[11:07] <ironrose> Can someone help me with a sound issue in virtualBox?
[11:07] <ikonia> fde I want him to tell me this, I think it's samba,
[11:07] <uffo> ActionParsnip: i want simple gui based and that should be easy to everyone to share files like with windows
[11:07] <darkdeeper> uffo, the sharing is for samba..i think you can use the same thing for ubuntu vs ubuntu tho.. just maybe its need extra driver
[11:07] <ardchoille> cypha: my bad, it's:  mozilla-mplayer
[11:07] <ActionParsnip> uffo: the smb.conf file is EXTREMELY simple
[11:07] <ikonia> uffo I'm still waiting to hear what the problem is
[11:07] <fde> uffo: it isn't installed by default due to media constraints... not everyone needs to share things from their linux machine
[11:08] <uffo> ikonia: i just want share files like windows: enable file sharing for this folder
[11:08] <darkdeeper> uffo, there nvr actually anything easy in linux.even samba need hard work to configure...
[11:08] <ActionParsnip> uffo: read the bottom 20 lines: http://pastebin.com/f13627b42
[11:08] <ikonia> uffo: yes, and ?
[11:08] <ikonia> uffo: what is the problem ?
[11:08] <filthpig> I have an odd problem. I have a Creative NX Pro webcam which has worked just fine under ubuntu and skype for a few years. However, a few days ago I upgraded to ibex (upgrade, not clean install) and now my webcam looks like an acid trip on skype. My face is green and the background purpleish. If I open Cheese everything looks right.. Any ideas what this may be?
[11:08] <histo> ActionParsnip: so now files will be written there with my username since a password was specified for me?
[11:08] <shubbar> i updated nvidia driver to 177.82, but it's not working
[11:09] <ActionParsnip> histo: as long as youo authenticate as that user, yes. try it
[11:09] <shubbar> nvidia driver 177.80 was working - but without acceleration
[11:09] <ikonia> shubbar those drivers are not supported
[11:09] <gnomefreak> shubbar: what did you update from?
[11:09] <gnomefreak> ah
[11:09] <omegaomni> yeah!
[11:09] <ActionParsnip> uffo: thats literally all it is
[11:09] <uffo> ikonia: when i enable file sharing with right click then it wants to install some windows file sharing, it should work out of the box but why windows file sharing???
[11:09] <omegaomni> how do i turn off the acceleration?
[11:09] <loca|host> is there any possibility to launch the installer from the console ? my 8.10 livecd freezes when throwing the desktop so i cant click on the installer
[11:10] <shubbar> gnomefreak, script from nvidia web site
[11:10] <ironrose> Can someone help me with a sound issue in vijrtualbox? It does not work.
[11:10] <ActionParsnip> uffo: is this sharing a folder on a windows system or an ubuntu system?
[11:10] <ikonia> uffo it does not want to install windows file sharing - it wants to install samba - which is a file sharing service, that is not installed by default, so let it install it and share your files like you want
[11:10] <ActionParsnip> ironrose: wassup?
[11:10] <gnomefreak> shubbar: not supported you should use ours
[11:10] <shubbar> ikonia, i m stuck with the hardware! what can i use?
[11:10] <ikonia> shubbar: what card is it
[11:10] <darkdeeper> loca|host, if u already have a live CD then just install... press F4
[11:10] <uffo> ikonia: where i can get deb pack for offline use for samba
[11:11] <ironrose> I'm trying to run Windows via vbox and I can't get sound to work on it despite changing the sound settings on vbox
[11:11] <ikonia> uffo: on the install cd
[11:11] <omegaomni> hey guys!?...how do i turn off the acceleration?
[11:11] <omegaomni> on my graphics card.
[11:11] <shubbar> nvidia geforce 6002
[11:11] <ActionParsnip> ironrose: have you installed the guest additions?
[11:11] <shubbar> what can i use for it?
[11:11] <ikonia> shubbar: you sure thats the right model number ?
[11:11] <gnomefreak> shubbar: use jockey or envyng to install your drivers
[11:11] <ironrose> what do you mean?
[11:11] <ardchoille> shubbar: 6002? do you mean 6200?
[11:11] <darkdeeper> uffo, c told ya eveything is in the cd.....
[11:11] <uffo> ikonia: ok i look cd to find offline install
[11:11] <ActionParsnip> ironrose: boot the Vbox to desktop, click devices -> install guest additions
[11:12] <shubbar> anyway its the 6 series
[11:12] <ikonia> shubbar then it's supported by the .80 driver
[11:12] <cypha> darkdeeper, can i run my currently installed windows using virtual box or vmware?
[11:12] <ikonia> shubbar: you didn't need to go to the .82
[11:12] <ironrose> khold on
[11:12] <shubbar> envy ng didn't work with me on 7.10
[11:13] <ikonia> shubbar are you using 7.10 now?
[11:13] <ardchoille> shubbar: I have the nvidia 6200 and the 173 and 177 drivers didn't work properly. I installed the 96 drivers and everything works great now.
[11:13] <shubbar> now, 8.10
[11:13] <darkdeeper> uffo, just run software source, add your Cd and then run apt-get install samba
[11:13] <ikonia> shubbar: so don't reference 7.10
[11:13] <ikonia> shubbar: you just needed to use the ubuntu packaged drivers (.77 - I think) and it would work
[11:13] <darkdeeper> !virtualbox | cypha
[11:13] <ikonia> shubbar: don't need to use envy or any nvidia.com drivers
[11:13] <shubbar> ok, before upgrading to 8.10, on 8.04 i was using nvidia script with acceleration
[11:14] <gnomefreak> ikonia: envy is supported by us now
[11:14] <ikonia> gnomefreak nah
[11:14] <ikonia> !envy
[11:14] <ikonia> gnomefreak: check the "use at your own risk"
[11:14] <gnomefreak> recommened ways to install drivers are envy or jockey
[11:14] <cypha> darkdeeper: can i use my currently installed vista for that, or will i have to reinstall a fresh one?
[11:14] <alvinucsk> hi anyone know whats the IRC channel for php?
[11:14] <ikonia> alvinucsk: ##php
[11:14] <cypha> ##php
[11:14] <fde> alvinucsk: umm... ##php?
[11:15] <cypha> lol
[11:15] <alvinucsk> ok thanks xD
[11:15] <ikonia> gnomefreak: didn't need to use envy - the packagfed drivers should work on that card
[11:15] <ikonia> alvinucsk: in future this chanel is not a directory service,
[11:15] <cypha> lmao
[11:15] <cypha> ikonia
[11:15] <ActionParsnip1> ironrose: back, stupid www died
[11:15] <darkdeeper> shubbar, alot ofthing happen when u upgrade form 804 to 810.i cant get my wnic and gui working when i upgrade from 804 to 810.but frest install fix it up without me having to configur anything
[11:15] <alvinucsk> aight sry
[11:15] <ActionParsnip1> ironrose: you got guest additions now?
[11:15] <ironrose> no
[11:15] <ironrose> i click and nothing happens
[11:15] <gnomefreak> ikonia: envy installs our drivers now it doesnt use upstream drivers (atleast our packaage)
[11:15] <lachlan__> Hello.  Anyone know of a way of doing magic signal processing things with the audio input/output? There's one for JACK in the repository, but I was hoping to do it for all of it---or will I have to hack the kernel?
[11:15] <cypha> darkdeeper: do i need to install another copy of windows, or can i use the one that is already installed for either of those softwares you mentioned?
[11:16] <ikonia> gnomefreak are you &100 - it want to nvidia.com a few days ago
[11:16] <darkdeeper> cypha, nvr try to reuse the window one on virtualbox.but mine working fine with fresh install

[11:16] <shubbar> darkdeeper, fresh install mean loosing all your configuration and settings
[11:16] <ikonia> gnomefreak: ignore my typing that should be "are you %100 sure, as it went to nvidia.com a few days ago for my test"
[11:16] <cypha> shubbar: is there another option?
[11:16] <gnomefreak> ikonia: it shouldnt os i got my info from X devs ona bug report i posted about nvidia drivers
[11:17] <ironrose> how do i get that working?
[11:17] <gnomefreak> ikonia: i know what it was :)
[11:17] <ikonia> gnomefreak: I propose a test.
[11:17] <darkdeeper> cypha, virtualbox got will provide difrent driver from ur original driver.. if i was correct.reuse ur windows on vbox or vmware will coss BSOD

[11:18] <ActionParsnip1> ironrose: http://seogadget.co.uk/how-to-install-virtualbox-guest-additions/
[11:18] <cypha> which is better, vmware or virtualbox?
[11:18] <ardchoille> smooki: do you realy think you'll get an unbiased answer in this channel? ;)
[11:18] <cypha> darkdeeper,
[11:18] <ironrose> ActionParsnip: k, hold on.
[11:18] <loca|host> darkbishop, i need to install the 8.10 without the graphical mode
[11:18] <AuDaX> smooki: gnome easily
[11:18] <woelfz> @ardchoille: done but there no one responding
[11:18] <fde> smooki: gnome has more polish
[11:18] <bagus> haloo...I'm newbie..from Indonesia
[11:18] <shubbar> ikonia, Hardware Drivers says "No proprietary drivers are in use on this system"
[11:19] <gnomefreak> ikonia: i cant test it. im not on Intrepid and cant afford to change anything to this system due to it running JJ if i do than bug reports cant be posted (with JJ it should break just fine on its own
[11:19] <ardchoille> woelfz: well this channel is for Ubuntu, for the best help with Kubuntu, you need to be patient and ask in there
[11:19] <AuDaX> smooki: kde is really slow on old hardware (like mine)
[11:19] <Frogzoo> cypha: vmware is pretty solid
[11:19] <cypha> k, cool
[11:19] <smooki> k
[11:19] <cypha> sudo apt-get install vmware ?
[11:19] <darkdeeper> cypha, honestly i nvr try vmware. just use vbox.so i cant tell u which one is batter.so u need to ask other opinion on this
[11:19] <woelfz> @ardchoille kk
[11:19] <cypha> thanks darkdeeper
[11:19] <loca|host> is there anyway to do it ?
[11:19] <smooki> I know this is big, but I'd like to get some subjective opinion :)
[11:19] <ardchoille> cypha: apt-cache search -n vmware
[11:19] <nite_johnboy> Is there a shell script I can run to shutdown my computer in 1 hour or so ? ?
[11:20] <cypha> cool, thanks ardchoille
[11:20] <ironrose> ActionParsnip: that link is useless because the first step does not work
[11:20] <Frogzoo> nite_johnboy: man shutdown
[11:20] <ardchoille> yw
[11:20] <darkdeeper> loca|host,its is posible ur linux dont support this version?

[11:21] <lamben> Hi everybody, is there anyone that can help me with nVidia drivers installation? (dkms apparently unable to make modules)
[11:21] <ardchoille> oh, I don't know if it's in Hardy repos

[11:21] <linux_trojan> Frogzoo: yea, thats right, how do I turn it off?
[11:22] <gnomefreak> that shouldnt happen
[11:22] <ardchoille> !info vmware Hardy
[11:22] <loca|host> darkdeeper, its a new laptop i've just bought, i've succeeded installing 7.10 and 8.04 but both didnt get into my ethernet cards (wifi and wired) so i can do nothing ... when trying to install the 8.10, it freezes on the desktop, the mouse cursor began blinking and i have no keyboard .... its a new Toshiba P300 1El laptop
[11:22] <AuDaX> smooki: you could always install both, and trry them out
[11:22] <linux_trojan> ubottu: I am not sure that any distro comes with vmware
[11:22] <linux_trojan> Frogzoo: you know how to turn it off?
[11:23] <Frogzoo> linux_trojan: try this: http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2006/09/20/disable-touchpad-temporarily-when-typing/
[11:23] <ActionParsnip1> ironrose: http://tombuntu.com/index.php/2008/09/22/install-virtualbox-2-guest-additions-in-ubuntu/
[11:23] <Frogzoo> works a charm
[11:23] <linux_trojan> what is wrong iwth that silly synaptic pad anyway?
[11:24] <darkdeeper> loca|host, can u check the CD for defact?
[11:24] <loca|host> darkdeeper, sure ..
[11:25] <etfb> cypha: Just go to the VMWare site and install VMWare Server.  It's free-as-in-beer and perfectly usable on Hardy and everywhere else.
[11:25] <xyz_> how to convert bin/toc files to iso?
[11:25] <B|ackPanther> just upgraded from 8.04 to 8.10  but now the windows cannot be moved and some do not open up with "minimize maximize close" buttons.Tried metacity --replace but everything freezes if i do that.Is there a quick fix for this ?
[11:25] <darkdeeper> loca|host, just incase if the CD is defact..just in case rite...no harm checking
[11:25] <ActionParsnip1> ironrose: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=831893
[11:25] <ardchoille> B|ackPanther: you have an nvidia 5 or 6 series vid card?
[11:26] <linux_trojan> I wish some of the distros would add VMware to their package list
[11:26] <nite_johnboy> Frogzoo: Looks like my script would be " sudo shutdown -h " and at the end I would have " hh:mm " for hours and minutes I want it to wait - This look about right ?
[11:26] <ActionParsnip1> B|ackPanther: you on an nvidia driver running compiz per chance?
[11:26] <loca|host> darkdeeper, "Checking integrity, this may take some time"
[11:26] <loca|host> :)
[11:26] <B|ackPanther> ardchoille, no , i have compiz running
[11:26] <ardchoille> B|ackPanther: you have an nvidia 5 or 6 series vid card?
[11:26] <linux_trojan> the problem with VMware on Ubuntu is that you have to sign into VWware as ROOT and there is no root on ubuntu
[11:27] <darkdeeper> loca|host, then we all be here doing nothing else
[11:27] <lamben> Please, does anyone knows how to install nVidia driver in ubuntu 8.10? (dkms error on boot)
[11:27] <B|ackPanther> ardchoille, no , i dont have a nvidia 5 or 6
[11:27] <ActionParsnip1> B|ackPanther: do you have an nvidia?
[11:27] <ardchoille> ok, was gona say there's a fix for that with nvidia
[11:27] <bazhang> linux_trojan, use sudo not root
[11:27] <bazhang> lamben, use hardware drivers
[11:27] <loca|host> darkdeeper, what a flavour ;)
[11:27] <darkdeeper> lamben, if you download it then there is is a readme file in it.use the guide.
[11:27] <linux_trojan> bazhang: you appearantly dont use VMware
[11:27] <B|ackPanther> ActionParsnip1 i dont have nvidia.
[11:27] <shubbar> i have a nvidia 6 card
[11:28] <bazhang> linux_trojan, sure I do.

[11:28] <MetaMorfoziS> Hi all, is there anybody who have an epson scanner on ubuntu? Maybe "Epson Perfection V10" ?
[11:28] <linux_trojan> bazhang: you dont use server 2
[11:28] <ironrose> ActionParsnip: still no help
[11:28] <MetaMorfoziS> I just thinking on buying one, and i just want to know how it works under ubantoo
[11:28] <darkdeeper> lamben, but u have to kill ur X first before u can install it tho."sudo service gdm stop"
[11:28] <ardchoille> linux_trojan: there is indeed a root account in Ubuntu, it's locked, but it's there. we use sudo to elevate privileges
[11:28] <m0niker> hello all
[11:28] <MetaMorfoziS> !scanner
[11:28] <bazhang> check hcl MetaMorfoziS
[11:28] <bazhang> !hcl
[11:28] <B|ackPanther> In 8.04 i did metacity --replace and it worked fine.
[11:29] <lamben> balzhang: I tried, but it just exit without doing anything. At boot it says dkms error and that X is unable to find the nvidia modules for kernel
[11:29] <MetaMorfoziS> thanks
[11:29] <bazhang> lamben, which card
[11:29] <cypha> etfb, gracias
[11:29] <linux_trojan> ardchoille: yea I know, I actually created a root account just so I could use VMware server 2 more easily
[11:29] <cypha> wow, vmware is the size of windows itself
[11:29] <cypha> 538 megs
[11:29] <loca|host> darkdeeper, errors found in 1 files! ok i'll be burning :D again ...
[11:29] <cypha> wow
[11:29] <lamben> bazhang geforce 6200
[11:30] <bazhang> lamben, check the release notes
[11:30] <darkdeeper> loca|host, c.. no harm in checking your CD.. its may save u alot of time...
[11:30] <bazhang> !notes

[11:30] <st3ph> i played with my wifi now i cant connect to wireless lan anymore
[11:30] <ardchoille> linux_trojan: you "created" a root accont? Nice trick
[11:30] <darkdeeper> lamben, u didnt find any readme on the installation tar file?
[11:31] <linux_trojan> no, you just type "sudo passwd"
[11:31] <linux_trojan> and that creates the passwd for root
[11:31] <darkdeeper> linux_trojan; u need to create root account???y.. there already here.
[11:31] <ardchoille> linux_trojan: that is neither supported nor necessary, sudo does anything you need.
[11:31] <bazhang> dont need root ever linux_trojan
[11:31] <bazhang> please dont suggest that here linux_trojan
[11:31] <lamben> darkdeeper: wich installation tar file? O:o
[11:32] <darkdeeper> linux_trojan; use sudo to do everything.. its batter.
[11:32] <bazhang> !noroot
[11:32] <linux_trojan> ardchoille: like I was saying, VMware server 2 requires you log in as root
[11:32] <ironrose> I'm having trouble installing guest additions on virtualbox. Can someone help?
[11:32] <darkdeeper> lamben, u said u download the driver from nvidia.its will dl to you in tar file.inside its a readme file.
[11:33] <ikonia> darkdeeper it doesn't download a tar file
[11:33] <linux_trojan> I dont see whats wrong with a root password
[11:33] <Elmnas> hi guys
[11:33] <linux_trojan> all the distros have one
[11:33] <ikonia> darkdeeper: it downloads a .run or .pkg file depending on the version
[11:33] <ikonia> darkdeeper: they are binary files that can't be uncompressed
[11:33] <bazhang> linux_trojan, not ubuntu; it is disabled and again, please dont suggest it here.
[11:33] <ardchoille> linux_trojan: everyone knows you have a root account and we can sit here all day trying to brute force it, can't do that if root is locked.
[11:33] <darkdeeper> ikonia, i got tar file...
[11:33] <ikonia> darkdeeper: for nvidia drivers ?
[11:33] <darkdeeper> yup
[11:33] <linux_trojan> lol you guys dont  make any sense
[11:34] <lamben> darkdeeper: I didn't say that... maybe you are confusing me with someone else. I just tried with the built-in driver installer of ubuntu 8.10
[11:34] <ikonia> darkdeeper: verifying.....
[11:34] <darkdeeper> hmmm
[11:34] <darkdeeper> ikonia, maybe i was wrong.sorry eveyone.
[11:34] <ikonia> darkdeeper nope - .run file
[11:35] <darkdeeper> ikonia, yup.. its .run... i was wrong
[11:35] <ikonia> darkdeeper easy mistake to make

[11:44] <bill__> okay i just want to go back to pulseaudio5 because 7 isn't working for me
[11:44] <ActionParsnip1> chmod -R that is
[11:44] <bazhang> ubuntu-desktop is just a meta-package filthpig nothing to worry about
[11:45] <ironrose> ActionParsnip:

[11:45] <Bodsda> filthpig, it shouldnt do -- sudo apt-get remove pulseaudio only removes 1 package on my machine, but as bazhang says, its not a problem

[11:51] <bazhang> apt-cache search [eXception]
[11:51] <Try_Hard_Go_Pro> ferronica: maybe you should just put 1 more line of code in the alsa
[11:52] <[eXception]> ok thx
[11:52] <bazhang> ie apt-cache search flash
[11:52] <ardchoille> I remember playing a couple of games a long time ago, called Myst and Riven. Do the Intrepid repos have any similar games?
[11:52] <steveccc> hi all - is there a way to get ubuntu to smooth the fonts displayed onscreen like a mac does so that they look much improved
[11:52] <rblst> !games | ardchoille

[11:53] <khoder> hello all
[11:53] <ferronica> bazhang: already sets to Alsa
 what?
[11:54] <bazhang> [eXception], make sure nothing else is open like add /remove or synaptic then try again
[11:54] <ardchoille> [eXception]: close any other package managers
[11:54] <Frogzoo> steveccc: sys -> pref -> appearance -> fonts -> sub pixel
 what code??
[11:54] <Sinister> anyone know of a program that searches for prime numbers ?

[11:55] <Try_Hard_Go_Pro> khoder how long have been using ubuntu?
[11:55] <bazhang> ardchoille, pyzzle is quite similar but not in repos, will work with intrepid and wine does myst very well
[11:56] <khoder> yes but what is the tree?
[11:56] <DPG> is there crossover for ubumtu?
[11:56] <bazhang> DPG, yes
[11:56] <khoder> no sorry I just begin to use ubuntu
[11:56] <ironrose> bazhang: I'm still having problems with it.
[11:56] <ardchoille> bazhang: Oh? Didn't know that, thanks
[11:56] <darkdeeper> what is crossover
[11:56] <Try_Hard_Go_Pro> khoder: did you search the desktop
[11:56] <darkdeeper> keep hearing it from this mronig
[11:56] <bazhang> darkdeeper, similar to wine, cedega etc
[11:56] <uffo> darkdeeper: i tried to add cdrom (ubuntu 8.10 cd) and it shows failed to fetch cdrom

[11:58] <dev_> how can I do that please tell me
[11:58] <bazhang> !appdb
[11:58] <steveccc> frogzoo: i have just enabled that but it doesnt change the font much - is that the only method?

[11:58] <Try_Hard_Go_Pro> ferronica: did you reboot
[12:00] <cypha> i have terrible news:
[12:00] <cypha> None of the pre-built vmmon modules for VMware Server is suitable for your
[12:00] <cypha> running kernel.  Do you want this program to try to build the vmmon module for
[12:00] <cypha> your system (you need to have a C compiler installed on your system)? [yes]
[12:00] <cypha> Using compiler "/usr/bin/gcc". Use environment variable CC to override.
[12:00] <cypha> Your kernel was built with "gcc" version "4.2.3", while you are trying to use
[12:00] <FloodBot2> cypha: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[12:00] <cypha> "/usr/bin/gcc" version "4.2.4". This configuration is not recommended and
[12:00] <uffo> darkdeeper: no it is not in, how i can re add this, synaptic shows error with add cd rom or when i selected offical cd from repo selector.
[12:00] <DPG> is there any torrents to get free, full version of xandros?
[12:00] <mardy_> what is that
[12:00] <bazhang> cypha dont paste here

[12:01] <rdz> hi all. how save is it to resize a hfs+ partition with gparted (from ubuntu live cd)? is increasing the partitioin safer than shrinking?
[12:01] <ardchoille> Whoa, flightgear is in the repos :D
[12:01] <cypha> bazhang, what should i do?
[12:01] <bazhang> dpg no
[12:01] <bazhang> paste.ubuntu.com cypha
[12:01] <cypha> it is saying that vmware module isn't suitable for my running kernel (i guess hardy)
[12:01] <bazhang> then install the right kernel cypha
[12:02] <mardy_> can i get usb web cam
[12:02] <cypha> http://paste.ubuntu.com/74733/
[12:02] <cypha> bazhang, i'm not sure what that means
[12:02] <cypha> i thought hardy was my kernel?
[12:02] <bazhang> cypha, check in synaptic package manager
[12:02] <steveccc> frogzoo: isnt there a package for windows fonts such as verdana and arial somewhere?
[12:02] <cypha> search kernel?
[12:02] <cypha> it's saying i have the newer kernel though
[12:03] <dev_> I am having very low disk space on one hard disk and I want to copy a directory having size 4 gb
[12:03] <DPG> do i use gparted to format my usb?
[12:03] <ardchoille> cypha: you guess? open a terminal and type:  lsb_release -a | grep -i codename
[12:03] <mardy_> my web cam is not working properly
[12:03] <dev_> so how can I do that?
[12:03] <dev_> hi, I want to copy a directory to remote machine along with special files and links
[12:03] <Frogzoo> steveccc: msttcorefonts
[12:03] <cypha> ardchoille, i have hardy

[12:05] <DPG> what do i use to format my usb stick?

[12:19] <bazhang> loller, you have lots of saved virtual machines?

[12:42] <jrib> mikevankuik: why do you need 1.4.20 instead of 1.4.19?  The folder you build it is not the same as the folder you install it to

[12:47] <mikevankuik> jrib: I just was wondering because I removed lighttpd 1.4.19 but it left some folders and a few conf files (nothing serieus at least if it overrides it or makes a notice that it didn't)
[12:48] <jrib> mikevankuik: use "purge" instead of "remove"
[12:48] <nucco> does anyone know of a local backup tool that encrypts data?
[12:49] <mikevankuik> jrib: I used both statments :) but still some folders where not removed because there was still content in them (thank god I wouldn't want to lose my /var/www folder :P its priceless :P)
[12:50] <jrib> mikevankuik: well what config are you referring to?
[12:50] <mikevankuik> jrib: just the lighttpd.conf file
[12:50] <mikevankuik> jrib: I've got a backup from it on my client pc

[12:56] <bazhang> pawan, how what
[12:56] <jrib> !compile > mikevankuik
[12:57] <bazhang> pawan, address someone and try to use more than a one word answer
[12:57] <pawan> how to update repo
[12:57] <jrib> mikevankuik: the folder you 'build' to is not the same as where you 'install' it to
[12:57] <bazhang> !who | pawan
[12:57] <mikevankuik> jrib: ok so the config makes sure stuff get in the right place!?
[12:58] <kiru> hello
[12:58] <jrib> mikevankuik: most ./configure scripts are setup to install to /usr/local/ by default.  You should check
[12:58] <kiru> i cannot update from feisty to gutsy
[12:58] <ActionParsnip1> yo yo yo
[12:58] <dookdook> jrib, sorry bout the spam...heres a pasty: http://paste.ubuntu.com/74755/
[12:58] <ActionParsnip1> !upgrade | kiru
[12:58] <dido> ubottu.how to convert rm files to mp3?
[12:58] <jrib> dookdook: that's to answer your question
[12:58] <kanhiya78> how to install .tgz file
[12:58] <pawan> google earth
[12:58] <kiru> apt-get dist-upgrade tells me that some packages have a wrong size
[12:58] <jrib> kanhiya78: what are you trying to install exactly?
[12:58] <ActionParsnip1> kanhiya78: whats the file name?
[12:59] <bazhang> pawan, you were answered; address someone or you wont get help
[12:59] <mikevankuik> jrib: ok tx I'll look at that first
[12:59] <dookdook> jrib, thanks, but my question was why don't i have a suggestions.db file...i already knew i didn't have it in that directory (and now i know that there isn't another directory its hiding in)
[12:59] <kiru> how can i find these packages with a correct size or how can i circumvent this problem?
[12:59] <jrib> kiru: why would you run apt-get dist-upgrade to upgrade from feisty to gutsy?
[12:59] <ActionParsnip1> dido: http://www.usenet-forums.com/linux-general/95151-howto-convert-rm-mp3.html
[13:00] <kiru> because i destroyed my root partition and i had only a 7.04 installation cd
[13:00] <jrib> dookdook: why do you think you should have a suggestions.db file and not the db files you got with the command I gave you?
[13:00] <jrib> !upgrade > kiru
[13:00] <bazhang> kiru, get a more recent version and do a fresh install then
[13:00] <kanhiya78> ActionParsnip1: the full name is i_cproc_p_11.0.069_ia32.tgz
[13:00] <kiru> i dont have a cd burner and stuff
[13:00] <kiru> only this old cd
[13:01] <kanhiya78> ActionParsnip1: when i open it there are many files and folders
[13:01] <jrib> kiru: yes, as bazhang said it would be better to get a recent release and just install that.  But in the future when you upgrade, don't use apt-get dist-upgrade, use the instructions ubottu gave
[13:01] <jrib> kiru: find a friend that can burn you a cd or try:
[13:01] <jrib> !install > kiru
[13:01] <kiru> hm
[13:01] <ActionParsnip1> kanhiya78: tar zxvf ./i_cproc_p_11.0.069_ia32.tgz
[13:01] <kiru> a little bit frustrating what you are telling me
[13:01] <dookdook> jrib, yes, i'm mistaken.  sorry, i'm looking at the commandnotfound utility and trying to figure out whats going on...obviously i'm not mis-interpreting something.  thanks
[13:01] <jrib> kiru: what is that?
[13:02] <ActionParsnip1> kanhiya78: that is a sourcecode archive, you will be compiling an application. What are you trying to achieve? maybe there is something in repos that will do that same job
[13:03] <kanhiya78> ActionParsnip1: i want to do just basic programs of c language for practice at home
[13:03] <kiru> jrib, i dont have the possibility to get an 8.10 cd
[13:03] <ActionParsnip1> kanhiya78: sudo apt-get install build-essential
[13:03] <kanhiya78> i am very new to c
[13:03] <jrib> kiru: did you read what ubottu sent you?  There are other ways to install
[13:03] <kiru> so i wanna try to upgrade from 7.04 to 7.10 and then to 8.04
[13:03] <ActionParsnip1> kanhiya78: that will give you a c / c++ compiler
[13:03] <kiru> jrib, of course
[13:03] <ActionParsnip1> !upgrade > ActionParsnip
[13:03] <kanhiya78> how much large it's setup is
[13:04] <jrib> kiru: it makes a lot more sense to do that rather than isntalling an old, unsupported version
[13:04] <kiru> but apt-get install dist-upgrade doesnt work because some packages have a wrong size
[13:04] <jrib> kiru: you're ignoring what I told you.  That's not how you upgrade anyway.
[13:04] <bazhang> kiru, you need to change sources
[13:04] <dido> hello.can anybody give me c book
[13:04] <kanhiya78> ActionParsnip1: i mean to say how much of size it is?
[13:05] <kiru> bazhang, so manually write gutsy instead of feisty in /etc/apt/sources.list
[13:05] <Moose_Man> Hello , can some one point me in the correct direction, I cannot get the sound card on my T30 to work with Ubuntu - This is an awesome operating system _ I am a newbie so be kind please
[13:05] <kiru> jrib, i dont wanna argue with you
[13:05] <ActionParsnip1> kiru: sudo apt-get install update-manager-core; sudo do-release-upgrade
[13:06] <ActionParsnip1> !info build-essential | kanhiya78
[13:06] <r_s___> does ubuntu has vmware by default ???
[13:06] <bazhang> r_s___, no
[13:06] <jbeitler> no ubuntu does not have vmware by default
[13:07] <r_s___> bazhang> thx
[13:07] <jbeitler> you have to man install unless you are using 7.10 then it will be in synaptic
[13:07] <ActionParsnip1> !vmware | r_s___
[13:07] <kanhiya78> ubottu: it is saying that 27 mb of disk space will be used
[13:07] <Pici> !bot | kanhiya78
[13:07] <jrib> kiru: then *listen*.  1) Your best course of action is to get a current cd.  Ask a friend or find a local linux user group or ubuntu loco that can help you.  2) Use an alternative install method that does not require you to burn a cd. 3) if 1 and 2 are impossible then upgrade properly as the link ubottu gave you explains
[13:08] <ActionParsnip1> kanhiya78: then you can stop now or use 27Mb of space
[13:08] <kiru> jrib, ok, sorry for disturbing
[13:08] <r_s___> ok,, is there a free copy of vmware,, to use it on ubuntu ???
[13:08] <Pici> r_s___: Read the link that ubottu gave you
[13:08] <jbeitler> www.vmware.com
[13:08] <bazhang> r_s___, use vbox, its in repos and easier to set up and use
[13:08] <kanhiya78> ok it is better than intel compiler which will take 677 mb of space
[13:08] <blip99> hi, anyone know if there are deb packges for wxPython2.3 ?   I can't seem to find the older version on the python website
[13:08] <blip99> *wxpython
[13:09] <r_s___> bazhang> is vbox free ?
[13:09] <FiloSottile> hi, i created a usb boot pen with the ubuntu 8.10 tool
[13:09] <ActionParsnip1> r_s___: yes its free, you just have to register to get a code (also free)
[13:09] <bazhang> r_s___, yes
[13:09] <jbeitler> yeah buy vbox does not have as much functionality as vmware
[13:09] <jrib> kanhiya78: gcc is the standard on linux, yes
[13:09] <kanhiya78> ok bye
[13:09] <FiloSottile> i selected to store files in 1 gb on pen
[13:09] <ActionParsnip1> !info virtualbox | r_s___
[13:09] <bazhang> its -ose
[13:09] <FiloSottile> now i want to resize it
[13:09] <ActionParsnip1> !virtualbox | r_s___
[13:09] <FiloSottile> because i need more free space on pen out of ubuntu
[13:10] <FiloSottile> how can i do?
[13:10] <PUNISHER> Good bye everybody
[13:10] <blip99> what's a vox free vs non-free edition... somehow the non-free is also available for download ... were do we pay ?
[13:10] <blip99> *vbox
[13:10] <bazhang> blip99, one has usb support one does not, both are free
[13:11] <jrib> blip99: it's non-free in the sense that the source is not available for some parts
[13:11] <r_s___> and vBox is 100% compitable with ubuntu ?
[13:11] <ActionParsnip1> FiloSottile: sudo apt-get clean
[13:11] <bazhang> r_s___, yup
[13:11] <ActionParsnip1> r_s___: yes its in repos
[13:11] <FiloSottile> ActionParsnip1: ?
[13:11] <jrib> !free | blip99
[13:11] <FiloSottile> ActionParsnip1: and the params?
[13:11] <ActionParsnip1> FiloSottile: it'll clear out old .debs you have installed using apt / synaptic / whatever
[13:11] <ActionParsnip1> FiloSottile: thats it
[13:11] <jrib> kiru: you're not disturbing.  No need to apologize
[13:12] <ActionParsnip1> FiloSottile: sudo apt-get clean
[13:12] <FiloSottile> ActionParsnip1: and then to set the new dimension?
[13:12] <ActionParsnip1> FiloSottile: then use df -h to see how much space you got left
[13:13] <blip99> jrib: ah i see, i was thinking free vs commercial programs.   thanks
[13:13] <ActionParsnip1> FiloSottile: dimension?
[13:14] <FiloSottile> ActionParsnip1: emh... size, sorry
[13:14] <ActionParsnip1> FiloSottile: that just clears out some old fluff
[13:14] <FiloSottile> ActionParsnip1: you not understanded
[13:14] <ActionParsnip1> FiloSottile: you may also wanna check out the trash
[13:14] <ActionParsnip1> !trash | FiloSottile

[13:20] <hischild> fosco_, it is disabled.
[13:20] <fosco_> try changing video output then
[13:20] <chrisp> have 5 Asus EEE desktops, have installed 1 and configured it perfectly, i tried cloning with ghost and it wouldnt work, (said creating ext2 partition then stopped after transferring 0 mb) then tried the dd and netcat option, the copy of the original machines works fine but eth0 is not working, its detected in /var/log/dmesg but doesent show in ifconfig and ifup eth0 gives an error (which ill retreive if you need it)
[13:21] <hischild> fosco_, from what to what, and how
[13:21] <fosco_> try xv and x11
[13:21] <fosco_> gl and gl2 if you have accelerated graphics driver also
[13:22] <hischild> fosco_, please type my name in front of replies. second, i have no idea what you're talkin about
[13:22] <fosco_> hischild: execute gstreamer-properties and change video output there
[13:23] <hischild> fosco_, does vlc also use gstreamer framework?
[13:23] <fosco_> hischild: you can use mplayer for testing also
[13:23] <fosco_> vlc has its own configuration
[13:23] <hischild> fosco_, don't have mplayer around
[13:23] <ActionParsnip1> mplayer is sweet
[13:23] <chrisp> ubottu can you help?
[13:24] <chrisp> oh your a bot hehe
[13:24] <chrisp> ubottu   clone
[13:24] <chrisp> ubottu ghost

[13:24] <fosco_> hischild: i'll be here
[13:24] <kim_> virtualbox can't find my usb's
[13:25] <hischild> fosco_, thanks
[13:27] <sceo> here's something weird.  since upgrading to ibex, it seems that the desktop can no longer be an "active window" -- so if I click on a file on the desktop, it highlights it, but it keeps, say, my buddy list as the active window.  when I click delete after highlighting the file, the keypress goes to my buddy list, not to the file on the desktop; is this by design??
[13:27] <ActionParsnip1> kim_: have you enabled usb in the virtual box?
[13:28] <kim_> ActionParsnipl: yes
[13:28] <ActionParsnip1> kim_: id verify, power off the VM and check the settings for USB
[13:28] <Moose_Man> any ideas on how to get audio working on IBM T30 laptop?

[13:30] <wazir> can someone help ? How can I find files downloaded from amule?
[13:30] <xnv> wazir: Do you know the file name?
[13:30] <wazir> yes
[13:31] <xnv> wazir: find / -name "filename"
[13:31] <ActionParsnip1> xnv: you can use sudo to supress silly "access denied" messages
[13:31] <xnv> wazir: Probably better if you do... find / -name "filename" 2> /dev/null
[13:32] <wazir> ok thanx I am going to try and be back
[13:32] <xnv> ActionParsnip1: Or that too :-)
[13:32] <ActionParsnip1> xnv: cheeky
[13:32] <chrisp> can anyone help with this cloning issue im having (details are above)
[13:32] <aplos> hi
[13:33] <ActionParsnip1> chrisp: id create an image of it on som eremovable media, the use dd to copy the image to the other systems. This will also give you a good system for cloning new systems
[13:33] <kim_> actionparsnipl: i have both options enabled
[13:33] <B|ackPanther> Please how can i replace the "maximize minimize " buttons in my windows
[13:33] <Dr_willis> B|ackPanther,  replace withj what?
[13:34] <B|ackPanther> They are not there ?
[13:34] <Dr_willis> B|ackPanther,  try alt-f2 and run the command 'metacity --replace' ?
[13:35] <B|ackPanther> Dr_willis , that make the whole system freeze
[13:35] <Dr_willis> B|ackPanther,  you got some deep issues then.  BRB....
[13:36] <chrisp> ActionParsnip1  it worked fine but the network card isnt working properly, it comes up in dmesg but eth0 is not there
[13:36] <chrisp> says no such device
[13:36] <ActionParsnip1> chrisp: surely you want to clone a system that is fully configured....is the master system running ok?
[13:36] <ActionParsnip1> chrisp: is the LAN enabled on the other systems in BIOS?
[13:37] <B|ackPanther> it it possible to reset ubuntu to its default settings without erasing they data i have stored in the computer ?

[13:38] <fosco_> B|ackPanther: it depends on what do you want exactly to reset
[13:38] <ActionParsnip1> B|ackPanther: rename all the .gconf .gome* folders and reboot
[13:39] <ActionParsnip1> B|ackPanther: that will set all gnome settings to stock
[13:39] <fosco_> Ohmu_: myCmd | grep myText

[13:48] <phlax> hi ive just installed ubuntu 8.1 on raid0 partitions using the alternate installer. It seems that grub has not been installed onto the mbr as it cannot find /boot/grub/stage1 and the box cant boot. Do the /boot or / partitions have to be on a non-raid0 partition to boot?
[13:49] <HeMan> llain_: ah! the snappy packet generator was some kind of windows application...

[13:52] <moccuo> what do you guys think of this idea? a web app for chat, similar to IRC but with each user having an account to enable more social networking features to it. so you could join different groups (channels), and always be in these rooms when you login wherever you are. private messages would come in a certain "inbox" type thing. would be sort of a mix between IRC and Campfire. It might not appeal to the developer channel in IRC like free

[13:56] <danub> ActionParsnip1: according to the link posted above about the audio on an acer aspire 1, is has me use alsa with modprobe.
[13:57]  * Mimi asks: Does anyone know how to make firefox NOT reload the pages when I open the browser?  "Work offline" only makes it NOT display any pages. I'd like to go offline and read my ... ~90 open tabs :P Thank you <3 <3 <3
[13:57] <dekkong> llain_: well I think I think I have to be sudo to change the x server but it does not ever ask me for my password even though it's in the administrating menu
[13:57] <deuterium> sorry, but what processor are ubuntu 7.x/8.x alternate binaries optimized for? i386, i586, i686?
[13:57] <Mimi> deuterium, i386 sadly
[13:57] <fosco_> deuterium: i686
[13:57] <sleepy_cat_> how to update on the Ubuntu Terminal
[13:57] <dekkong> llain_: I can change the resolution and stuff in there but i cant save it to the x-configuration file
[13:58] <deuterium> fosco_, Mimi: which now?
[13:58] <sleepy_cat_> i want to updat curl from 7.10 to 7.19
[13:58] <Mimi> deuterium,  oops double checked, it's i686 indeed:D Yay!
[13:58] <sleepy_cat_> xan u help me out with the code on the terminal
[13:58] <dekkong> llain_: I would like to have it saved because now i have to change it back everyime I log off
[13:58] <llain_> dekkong: try in a terminal sudo nvidia-settings
[13:58] <sleepy_cat_> get apt-install curl
[13:58] <sleepy_cat_> didnt work
[13:58] <dekkong> llain_: yeah thx
[13:59] <llain_> to run the nvidia soft with admin permissions, it should let u write the file
[13:59] <deuterium> Mimi: ok, that's bad luck for me.. i need i586 the most :/
[13:59] <danub> ActionParsnip1: you wouldn't happen to know hot to get there under the kde would you?
[13:59] <Mimi> sleepy_cat, what error did it give
[13:59] <sternocera_> Hello. I want to upgrade from 8.04 to 8.1, but xubuntu's update manager doesn't give me the option. furthermore, apt-get upgrade doesn't work.
[13:59] <danub> i click on the volume control and there is no way of changing the type to alsa
[13:59] <Pici> sleepy_cat_: curl 7.19 is not in any of the Ubuntu repositories, for any release.
[14:00] <dekkong> llain_: yeah that worked thx alot :) I had forgot that it was nvidia-settings I tried sudo nvidia X server Settings earlier :) but thx alot :)
[14:00] <Mimi> deuterium, I think there's still a lot of i386 distros out there, thankfully :D
[14:00] <tta> sternocera, use "update-manager -c" to upgrade
[14:00] <ActionParsnip1> danub: system settings -> sound maybe
[14:00] <Pici> sleepy_cat_: What version of Ubuntu are you running? I see that the lowest version in any supported release is 7.15
[14:00] <phrostbite> Is there a defrag thing for this like windows or does it not need it?
[14:00] <Mimi> sternocera, I *highly* recommend doing a fresh install, instead of upgrading. ask anyone :P You'll probably get problems if you just upgrade
[14:01] <deuterium> Mimi, fosco_: i wanted to install ubunto on a via eden c3 box.. via c3 are i686, but only almost.. doesn't support some of the i686 opcodes, sadly
[14:01] <Pici> !defrag | phrostbite
[14:01] <Mimi> phrostbite, no, it does not need it, Linux stores data much better (no offense meant to windows)
[14:01] <phrostbite> Sweet thank you guys for your fast responses
[14:01] <thiebaude> danub: yup, open sound from the menu
[14:01] <Mimi> sure beats waiting 2 hours for defrag utility to finish lol
[14:02] <fosco_> deuterium: all ubuntu pakcges are i686, maybe another distribution...
[14:02] <thiebaude> hi action
[14:02] <Mimi> knoppix? :3
[14:02] <deuterium> Mimi, fosco_: i just wonder why ubuntu offers i386 kernels if the binaries are i686. doesn't make any sense, imho
[14:02] <danub> its a no go. i went into system settings and sound but i see no reference to alsa at all
[14:02] <LjL> phrostbite: it does not need it most of the time, but there is
[14:02] <LjL> !info defrag | phrostbite
[14:02] <llain_> dekkong: u welcome =)
[14:02] <LjL> phrostbite: ... but it's called something else or been pulled from intrepid, i suppose
[14:03] <thiebaude> danub: it should be a drop down menu with diff options
[14:03] <LjL> ok, been pulled from intrepid
[14:03] <Mimi> deuterium, me too! That's why at first I thought it was optimized for i386,  I recall installing that kernel a while back
[14:03] <deuterium> fosco_: will go with debian testing, i guess
[14:03] <fosco_> sure
[14:03] <Pici> deuterium: The packages are all i386 compatibile.
[14:03] <danub> all i have is "device preferences" and backend. and the backend tab only has the option to show OSS devices and change the interlacing
[14:03] <phrostbite> Yeah no kidding. Last night I was trying to do a mass edit of like 60 pictures. I wanna reduce the file size because they are like 1.4mb but i got imagemagick like people said and when i did the command they told me to use it kept saying the filename does not exist. Do I have to do it 1 by 1?
[14:04] <danub> where at thiebaude?
[14:04] <nibsa1242> need help with burning to dvds in intrepid; ever since upgrade any dvd I try to burn fails with a write error once its ~77-98% complete
[14:04] <Mimi> danub,  on the first tab, do you see "Autodetect"? Click it, and it should show alsa
[14:04] <danub> i dont have a autodetect
[14:04] <thiebaude> danub: open sound from the menu then devices then preferences
[14:04] <deuterium> Pici: are you sure? different people seem to have different information..
[14:05] <danub> thiebaude: i went to system settings -> sound
[14:05] <thiebaude> danub: system- preferences- sound
[14:05] <fosco_> deuterium: packages show i686, but i'm not sure if they are i386 compatible, just try
[14:05] <deuterium> Pici: a package can't be optimized for i686 and be compatible to i386, afaik
[14:05] <EvilAIM> There we go..
[14:05] <nibsa1242> phrostbite there is a nautilus extension that will allow you to do that with a right click; try googling ubuntu nautilus image resize
[14:06] <sleepy_cat> hello what about my answer
[14:06] <phrostbite> ok nibsal1242 I will try that
[14:06] <EvilAIM> Morning everyone, Quick question on Ubuntu (running on a desktop with only a VGA out plug for the monitor).  Would running a VGA to DVI line to a TV suffice for TV display?
[14:06] <danub> thiebaude: there is no "sound" under prefernces. there is only music/video/communication/games/accessibilty
[14:06] <nibsa1242> fosco_: deuterium i686 for the most part is i386 compatible ... what type of processor do you have?
[14:06] <jlaroche> Hello people. Custom mouse pointers are not working at all in Ubuntu 8.10 (64bit). I installed a number of pointers (by going to System --> Preferences --> Appearance and then clicking on "Install" under the 'Theme'  tab) and they showed up at first. I changed my theme, icon set, pointer, etc. a few times (trying to find the right combination) and I noticed that the pointers I installed were disappearing from the 'Pointer' tab under
[14:06] <jlaroche> 'Customize'. I tried reinstalling the pointers, but I get this message "Installation for theme "theme name" failed. Can't move directory over directory"

[14:07] <Mimi> Fetched 8835kB in 26s (329kB/s) in apt-get update. Doesn't that mean that there should be some upgrades? apt-get upgrade gives  0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

[14:07] <Jeruvy> EvilAIM: does the tv say you can or should connect a PC to the DVI connection?  If so then you should be fine.  If not then don't.

[14:08] <jlaroche> Hello people. Custom mouse pointers are not working at all in Ubuntu 8.10 (64bit).

[14:08] <nibsa1242> deuterium: there is always compiling from source
[14:08] <crazyboy> can you help me with GTK install in ubuntu
[14:08] <danub> i dont have a "sound" at the top left. I have "sound" listed as an option under the "Computer Administration" sections at the bottom of the system setings page
[14:09] <danub> just to reclarify, i am on the KDE version... not the gnome version
[14:09] <EvilAIM> jeruvy, I have no info on the TV.  It's a 46" HD tv, So I wouldn't guess it would have issues...
[14:09] <Mimi> danub,  that explains all the confusion! x-)
[14:09] <nibsa1242> how do I diagnose dvd burning issues?
[14:09] <thiebaude> danub: ok my bad, im not familiar with kde, maybe someone else is,;-)
[14:10] <jlaroche> Just for your info: I also installed gcursor, thinking it might be able to take care of my problem, but lo and behold - gcursor is broken too. There is a very descriptive bug report about that --> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gcursor/+bug/138491
[14:10] <thiebaude> im using gnome
[14:10] <Jeruvy> EvilAIM: well if burning out your TV is ok, then test it out.  Otherwise try calling the manufacturer or checking the web site.  Most have manuals if you have lost yours
[14:10] <danub> :) i figured i would throw that out there again just in case
[14:10] <danub> ok, ill log out and relog in under gnome version
[14:10] <danub> be right back
[14:10] <Mimi> danub,  did you try asking in #kubuntu? they're much more knowledgeable about kde ^^;
[14:10] <deuterium> nibsa1242: well, but that's probably not the intention of ubuntu. then i could also take gentoo right from the beginning, but i decided against gentoo as compiling is extremely slow on that via eden c3 box. compiling an ubuntu base install would take several days alone.. not mentioning recompiling every update again etc. so i don't consider this an option, unfortunately.
[14:10] <thiebaude> danub: no problem
[14:10] <danub> Mimi: yeah but everyone over there is dead
[14:10] <danub> so they weren't too helpful
[14:10] <danub> :)
[14:11] <Mimi> Yeah... :(
[14:11] <Mimi> I'd try again :3
[14:11] <SpriteSODA> any networking/drivers expert here?
[14:11] <deuterium> nibsa1242: will take debian testing, likely
[14:11] <nibsa1242> deuterium: yes, but its also the intention of ubuntu to be up to date and modern...
[14:11] <thiebaude> danub: are you able to add sound to the panel in kde? right click or something on the panel
[14:11] <paule_> gftp and kftpgrabber crash when downloading from ftp with a lot of directories, what ftp client would work ok?

[14:24] <BlueEagle> ruler_: You need to be more spesific as to which io-error you got.
[14:24] <BlueEagle> ruler_: For all we know it could be a harmless one.
[14:24] <ActionParsnip1> ruler_: dont flood like that, also, did you md5 check the iso? did you check the cd for defects on the first boot screen
[14:24] <Shaba1> Ok related question
[14:25] <Jeruvy> Marcelo: did you look at the support page for drivers?
[14:25] <ruler_> http://paste.ubuntu.com/74778/ can somebody please take a look, it will just take a moment :)
[14:25] <Marcelo> yes
[14:25] <Shaba1> if I bookmark that page and convert it to a pdf is there someway I can get to it and display it from the ubuntu side.
[14:25] <jlaroche> does anyone know how to install the "Customize Pointer" program that is supposed to be in Ubuntu 8.10? For some reason I don't have it
[14:25] <BlueEagle> ruler_: You MUST specify EXACTLY which error you're getting.
[14:25] <bk-bk> Actinparsnip1 yes i checked it but no work
[14:26] <Marcelo> but I do not think
[14:26] <ruler_> BlueEagle? how do you mean harmless one? Yes I should, I'm at work now but I'll paste later in the evening
[14:26] <Shaba1> I would ask this question from ubuntu but the screen res is so big I cannot even start the irc program that came with it.

[14:26] <miik> ame
[14:26] <paule_> uriol, check in edit -> preferences -> applications and search google to see what to add for amule
[14:26] <bk-bk> ok thanks
[14:26] <Shaba1> the window on the irc program' setup dialog is so big that I cannot reach the button to click ok to set it up
[14:26] <BlueEagle> ruler_: I had a lot of io-errors when installing, but they were not fatal as the system worked perfectly. It might be a kernel issue for all I know.
[14:26] <w0ls0n> hello all. I am looking at putting in a SATA addon card as my box doesn't have support for SATA yet. Can anyone recommend a SATA Card that will work with ubuntu?

[14:27] <Jeruvy> !patience | jlaroche
[14:28] <ruler_> BlueEagle I thought so also (I'm far from rookie) but setup does not continue. It asks me to insert another ubuntu cd with files it needs. I have test installed (out of anger) ubuntu on my laptop from same cd and works super. On errored machine live cd also runs great
[14:28] <ruler_> BlueEagle I among other things admin red hat servers but I could not resolve this
[14:28] <Andreica> Hello.i like Ubuntu, but i am newbie and i have some problems. My computer's RAM is almost full everytime.At example i just started my computer and 709mb are occupied from 1gb. And if i start some massive applications like netbeans(that occupy almost 300mb of RAM) then my computer slows down. What to do?
[14:29] <thiebaude> wow
[14:29] <ganesh> where can i get  ubuntu dvd version for download?
[14:29] <ActionParsnip1> Andreica: thats ok, unused ram is wasted ram
[14:29] <danub> ok, tried hda alsa, analog alsa, OSS, etc. some give me no sound at all, the others give me low cracking sound but nothing else
[14:29] <ActionParsnip1> Andreica: are yuo fully updated?
[14:29] <Jeruvy> ruler_: you didn't ask for extra language support?  you may need the dvd for that.
[14:29] <Andreica> yes
[14:29] <Mimi> ActionParsnip1, Andreica  duh, it's taking so much memory that it doesnt let her/him work!!!
[14:29] <paule_> Andreica, use system monitor to see what is using memory
[14:30] <Andreica> i'm using and it everytime shows me that RAM is almost full.
[14:30] <ruler_> BlueEagle btw my hardware is quite ordinary, core 2 duo 8200, gigabyte p35-ds3l mobo, nvidia 8400gs, seagate hdd, so nothing that linux normaly wouldnt run on
[14:30] <danub> Andreica: they are telling y9ou to lok at what application is using the most of the memory
[14:30] <tommaso> Bonjour, suis-je le seul à parler français?
[14:30] <Mimi> Andreica,  hey, I think your Search and Indexing might be turnedd on. Have you tried turning it off? It's a pain in the neck. system->preferences-?Search and indexing
[14:30] <Pici> !fr| tommaso
[14:30] <LjL> ganesh: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/downloadmirrors#dvd
[14:30] <paule_> Andreica, it might be okay because there is no reason not use lots of ram, but you should check and see what program is doing that
[14:31] <ruler_> Jeruvy no, :),I will just take note of exact error and repaste in the evening
[14:31] <ActionParsnip1> Andreica: I'd check you are fully updated. a new kernel may resolve it if there is one
[14:31]  * jimcooncat makes a bet its Firefox
[14:31] <Andreica> there isn't any application(running in background) that consume much RAM
[14:31] <Jeruvy> ruler_: what is the error?
[14:31] <ActionParsnip1> !paste > ActionParsnip
[14:31] <Andreica> i'm using 8.10 version
[14:31] <vallhalla81> hi there i am trying to use ssh on my pc i have a router and dont seem to be able to conect some one sugested it may be my router or fire wall not forwarding to port 22 can any one advise please thank you in advance
[14:32] <Mimi> paule_,  I'm running firefox with 90 or so tabs open, probably more, Photoshop CS4, System monitor, QtCreator (Qt IDE) and I'm only using 491.2 MiB..........
[14:32] <Mimi> paule_,  there's no reason Andreica's computer should be using 700 MB at boot .....
[14:32] <jlaroche> thiebaude: Hello everyone. Custom mouse pointers are not working at all in Ubuntu 8.10 (64bit). I installed a number of pointers (by going to System --> Preferences --> Appearance and then clicking on "Install" under the 'Theme'  tab) and they showed up at first. I changed my theme, icon set, pointer, etc. a few times (trying to find the right combination) and I noticed that the pointers I installed were disappearing from the 'Pointe
[14:32] <jlaroche> r' tab under 'Customize'. I tried reinstalling the pointers, but I get this message "Installation for theme "theme name" failed. Can't move directory over directory"
[14:32] <linny> vallhalla81: have you opened the port on your router if not what router is it ?
[14:32] <danub> i need a link to fix the crackling sound from my speakers. i have rebuilt the alsa drivers, changed from ALSA to OSS... neither has worked
[14:32] <jimcooncat> vallhalla81: yes, you'll have to forward the port in your router
[14:33] <thiebaude> jlaroche: what type of file is it?
[14:33] <jimcooncat> danub: maybe a bad physical connection or broken wire
[14:33] <Jeruvy> Mimi: indexer will swallow your ram pretty fast especially on a fresh machine with no index history.
[14:33] <Mimi> Jeruvy,  yes, that's what I told Andreica
[14:33] <vallhalla81> linny: it is a netgear rp614 v4
[14:33] <linny> vallhalla81: http://portforward.com has lists of routers and guides to open ports
[14:34] <danub> jimcooncat: it better not be. its a brand new acer laptop and the speakers worked just fine 4 days ago before i did a reinstall of ubuntu
[14:34] <vallhalla81> linny: thank you
[14:34] <thiebaude> Jeruvy: that why i got tracker disabled
[14:34] <linny> vallhalla81: if you need help you can pm me :)
[14:34] <ruler_> Jeruvy I'll need to take down exact error :)
[14:34] <paule_> Andreica, Mimi, if there are any programs using alot of ram, they should show up in system monitor, go to view -> all processes
[14:34] <Jeruvy> Mimi: hard to keep up with the replies :)  ok.
[14:34] <Dr_willis> jlaroche,  thats saying you allready have that theme installed.  i noticed that befor it would just 'reinstall' the theme overwriting the old theme directory - it dosent do it any more..  not sure on your other problems
[14:34] <Andreica> when i'm starting netbeans...memory is full at 80-90 percent and computer is working very slow. at begining it is still possible to work but with time it works slower and slower
[14:34] <jlaroche> thiebaude: I found a program called "Cursor Selection" in the 'Add/Remove Applications". I installed it, but it is the same exact thing as 'gcursor' which does not work at all.
[14:34] <Andreica> i already selected "All processes"
[14:35] <paule_> Andreica, does this occur only with netbeans or with other programs too?
[14:35] <Zzeiss> Anybody having any luck with the MiniDisplay port to VGA adapter on a Macbook Unibody?
[14:35] <Mimi> Andreica,  in Processes, did you click Memory so the highest one is at the top? Which app shows lots of memory?
[14:35] <paule_> Andreica, so what processes are using 700mb at boot?
[14:35] <jrib> jlaroche: why aren't you using system -> preferences -> appearance -> theme -> customize -> pointer ?
[14:35] <jlaroche> Dr_willis: yeah. I understand that. I would manually reinstall them, but I don't know where the cursor files go (I tried to find out using google).
[14:35] <w0ls0n> hello all. I am looking at putting in a SATA addon card as my box doesn't have support for SATA yet. Can anyone recommend a SATA Card that will work with ubuntu?
[14:36] <Andreica> netbeans loads more than other programs, but with other also appear this problesm
[14:36] <jlaroche> Just for your info: I also installed gcursor, thinking it might be able to take care of my problem, but lo and behold - gcursor is broken too. There is a very descriptive bug report about that --> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gcursor/+bug/138491
[14:36] <thiebaude> jlaroche: maybe its better to install induvidual cursor themes online
[14:36] <paule_> w0ls0n, probably any brand name manufacturer card will work
[14:36] <nibsa1242> w0ls0n: recommend upgrading to an SATA compat mobo
[14:36] <thiebaude> jlaroche: i dont know the solution
[14:36] <paule_> nibsa1242, why?
[14:36] <jlaroche> jrib: For some reason, its not on my installation
[14:37] <jrib> jlaroche: are you sure?  make sure you are looking in the right place
[14:37] <jlaroche> omg
[14:37] <nibsa1242> paule_: because if he needs SATA he'll probably want other features that an SATA compat mobo will provide
[14:37] <jlaroche> System --> Preferences
[14:38] <jrib> jlaroche: huh?
[14:38] <cyan29> HELLO
[14:38] <Andreica> there aren't any significant processes but memory is almost full.
[14:38] <cyan29> CAN UBUNTU RUN ON MAC
[14:38] <Mimi> cyan29 yes it can
[14:38] <Mimi> :F
[14:38] <danub> any ideas on what is causing the crackling from the speakers? it has to be some bad setting, i just dont know where to check them or how to reconfig ut
[14:38] <Zzeiss> cyan29: Yes.  I am on one right now.  A unibody 13.3"
[14:38] <danub> s/ut/it
[14:38] <Zzeiss> cyan29: some things aren't working yet, but it is quite usable.
[14:38] <cyan29> DO WE NEED TO DO PARTITION OR USE WUBI
[14:39] <hwilde> !attitude | cyan29
[14:39] <Pici> cyan29: You need to lay off the caps lock first
[14:39] <linny> Andreica cant you check the /proc/meminfo and see what it is ?
[14:39] <jlaroche> jrib: Custom mouse pointers are not working at all in Ubuntu 8.10 (64bit).

[14:39] <Mimi> danub,  can you do this: double click volume icon to bring up window,  make sure PCM is all the way up
[14:39] <Zzeiss> cyan29: Which mac do you have/
[14:39] <Zzeiss> ?
[14:39] <Killer--Tux> how do i open ports in ubuntu
[14:39] <cyan29> I GOT IMAC
[14:39] <danub> yeah i will try that right now but i believe it is already up. lemme double check though
[14:40] <hateball> Even iMacs are bound to have a caps lock key
[14:40] <jlaroche> jrib: does that make sense now?
[14:40] <thiebaude> haha, hateball
[14:40] <danub> woot woot!!!
[14:41] <ladfnet> I'm having a problem with my network configuration. I'm running two vlans of eth0, and they're configured in /etc/network/interfaces. It boots fine, and both vlans work, but if I do a /etc/init.d/networking restart then the network shuts down. It's a remote server, and I'm configuring over ssh, and I'm running automatic restarts of the server through a cronjob. If I remove the second vlan(not the internet connection) then it works fine, but the
[14:41] <ladfnet> I tried to pipe error to one file, and output to another, but no errors are reported from the networking restart
[14:41] <cyan29> opss sorry. i capital letter. now i use small one.
[14:41] <ladfnet> any ideas?
[14:41] <danub> thank you Mimi. turns out the pcm was turned all the way down lol
[14:41] <Mimi> jlaroche,  go to your home folder, then .icons and delete the folder with your cursors, then try dragging the "zip" file with the cursor  into Theme. This worked for me
[14:41] <Mimi> danub,  yeah, I got the same "problem" once :P
[14:41] <Mimi> danub,  does it work now?
[14:41] <Killer--Tux> how do i open ports in ubuntu\
[14:42] <Andreica> when i type /proc/meminfo it writes me Access denied
[14:42] <Dr_willis> !firewall | Killer--Tux
[14:42] <LjL> Killer--Tux: no ports are closed by default.
[14:42] <jrib> jlaroche: no because now it contradicts what you said earlier.  Do you or do you not have Pointer selection in System -> Preferences -> Appearance -> Customize
[14:42] <ganesh> where can i get ubuntu dvd  torrent  for download?
[14:42] <Schenker80> hi guys i am about to install xubuntu and i was wondering if it's essential for me to have network connectivity during the install?      I don't have my ethernet cable to hand at the moment...............
[14:42] <Mimi> Killer--Tux,  http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-security-4/how-to-open-ports-in-ubuntu-451282/
[14:42] <LjL> !torrents > ganesh    (ganesh, see the private message from ubottu)
[14:42] <hwilde> Schenker80, the initial install doesn't need network.  but then it needs to get the updates
[14:42] <Lemur> hey, anyone who plays WoW here?
[14:42] <Mimi> Killer--Tux,  i'd say you gotta open the ports on your router, not ubuntu
[14:43] <Killer--Tux> o ok thanks guys
[14:43] <Dr_willis> ganesh,  google points me to   http://torrent.ubuntu.com/releases/intrepid/release/dvd/
[14:43] <tombar> where does the .deb package i download using apt-get -d is located (?)
[14:43] <LjL> Schenker80: it's not essential, but without it, your /etc/apt/sources.list file (which list software sources to install packages from) will probably be a bit messed up. you should probably check back in this channel after you've installed it to fix it
[14:43] <Andreica> so what to do?
[14:43] <Mimi> Lemur,  plenty of people do:P if this has got to do with Wine, might want to ask in #winehq, also look at http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=1922
[14:43] <LjL> tombar: /var/cache/apt/archives
[14:43] <tombar> ty LjL
[14:43] <jlaroche> jrib: no i dont have pointer selection under system-preferences-appearance. and NO. it DOES NOT CONTRADICT
[14:44] <Schenker80> OK guys thank you.  I will install it first and then see how I go.  In the meantime I will have to look out my ethernet cable.  thank you!
[14:44] <cyan29> i couldn't run google sketch in ubuntu. please help
[14:44] <Mimi> jlaroche,  go to your home folder, then .icons and delete the folder with your cursors, then try dragging the "zip" file with the cursor  into Theme. This worked for me ------------ please tell us if you tried this
[14:44] <Lemur> Mimi i was wondering if anyone could ressurect my account (giving me 10 days to play for free and getting 1 month free if i subscribe)
[14:44] <jrib> jlaroche: I can read without the caps, thanks.  "I changed my theme, icon set, pointer, ..." How did you change your pointer?
[14:44] <Lemur> :P
[14:45] <hwilde> !offtopic > Lemur
[14:45] <phrostbite> Ok I finally figured out how to resize many images at once. Is there a way to convert multiple images at once from jpg to png?
[14:45] <Lemur> im sorry
[14:45] <jlaroche> jrib: I changed it under system-preferences-appearance-customize-pointer
[14:45] <Mimi> phrostbite,  imagemagik should be able to do that too :P      you might want to read the manual (sorrysorry!! :P but all this info is there!)
[14:45] <jrib> jlaroche: that is what I am asking exists or not...
[14:46] <Andreica> maybe is any application that clears RAM?
[14:46] <jlaroche> thanks mimi... that sounds like it should work... let me try it out
[14:46] <histo> Anyone here run origami? Its currently using 80% CPU and wondering if its impacting performance of other apps or if its scaling back?
[14:46] <hwilde> phrostbite, there used to be a command called "convert" included with imagemagick
[14:46] <phrostbite> Where should I go to read the manual? I am sure i got imageshack but i don't see it in my applications list
[14:46] <winterelf> hi, i need help, i have a new screen 22" and i plugged it to my laptop with RJ connection (the pins) i need to know how to cinfugure it so it will work properly.. what should i do? (i have intel x3100 card)
[14:47] <phrostbite> Sorry i meant imagemagick lol
[14:47] <Andreica> hey...please help :-)
[14:47] <winterelf> ls
[14:47] <ladfnet> anyone familiar with network/vlan problems? please see my question above
[14:47] <Mimi> Andreica,  yes, the kernel clears ram :P no other apps needed
[14:48] <paule_> !repeat | ladfnet
[14:48] <Mimi> Andreica,  i dont think you have told us which appication is using that much ram as soon as ubuntu is booted
[14:49] <Andreica> how to get list of all running aplication from command line?...to send it to you
[14:49] <LjL> Andreica: ps aux
[14:49] <Mimi> Hey,  I'm trying to make terminal show up with --geometry 90x15 as default. shortcuts work fine, but I need it to be default.  Adding gnome-terminal --geometry 90x15 to  default apps doesnt work. grr any help:P
[14:51] <histo> Mimi: what about editing your profile?
[14:51] <paule_> Andreica, top
[14:51] <Shaba1> ok folks i somehow fixed the screen resolution but that has not fixed the problem
[14:51] <Mimi> histo,  my bashrc profile? Yeah I thought that might work =^..^= just wans't sure if it would be . If you can confirm that's how id do it, I'll google it. thanks!
[14:51] <histo> Mimi: create a new profile or edit your current one.  You can specify commands for startup etc... Or you could creat a launcher with whatever commands you wanted int ehre.
[14:52] <histo> Mimi: not your bashrc you gnome-terminal profile.
[14:52] <Shaba1> dialog boxes are still too big for the 'desktop' I know you all call that something else in linux
[14:52] <paule_> Andreica, use shift+m to sort by memory usage
[14:52] <Jeruvy> Mimi: profiles are very handy :)  but make a copy of your existing one.
[14:52] <Andreica> there is list of all may processes(writting ps aux) http://paste.ubuntu.com/74791/
[14:52] <Shaba1> they get lost off the bottom of the 'screen'
[14:52] <paule_> oh yeah that works too
[14:52] <Mimi> histo,  oh yeah, I use that gnome-terminal profile a LOOOOOOTTT but i've never seent hat option there
[14:52] <winterelf> some1
[14:52] <winterelf> sdouble on
[14:53] <Andreica> i ordered. Xorg consumes about 40Mb and other consume less and less
[14:53] <Mimi> histo, I'd make a launcher, the prob is I use gnome-do a lot, and it doesn't pick up the term size... nor does applications->acessories->term
[14:53] <histo> Mimi: Just creaet a launcher or edit the launcher you are currently using and add the --geometry switch
[14:53] <Shaba1> Hello
[14:53] <Shaba1> caon someone help
[14:53] <Shaba1> ??
[14:54] <Mimi> histo,  like i said on my first msg, i did try the launcher/shortcut ^^;
[14:54] <histo> Mimi: and the problem is?
[14:54] <Schenker80> guys I have a small problem now.  I have downloaded the desktop CD and I have booted my computer from it.  I have a black screen with white text and it says welcome to yaboot.  how do i install from this?
[14:55] <Mimi> histo that I want it as default  because no other shortcuts open it with that new size. I use gnomedo a lot, and i need it to pick up the new size too.
[14:55] <Mimi> Andreica,  are you on xubuntu or ubuntu?
[14:55] <histo> Mimi: it would be gnome-terminal --geometry=90x15
[14:55] <Mimi> histo,  yes i know.
[14:55] <Schenker80> i am talking about xubuntu here by the way :)
[14:55] <Mimi> histo like i said i need it to be a global setting
[14:55] <paule_> Andreica, im not sure what might be using so much ram, there are a few programs you can close to save memory, like jetty and mysql servers
[14:55] <Andreica> i'm on Ubuntu 8.10
[14:55] <histo> Mimi: hold on let me look at something
[14:55] <raven> archive manager doesnt like 7zip - what do i use as a gui tool to extract 7z files
[14:56] <Skaag> I need to create a mirror with just specific packages, so that I can pin packages to a specific version, company wide... any idea how to accomplish this?
[14:56] <Mimi> raven go on add/remove and search for 7z, install, try again with archive manager
[14:56] <Jeruvy> raven 7zip
[14:56] <mapreduce> Hi.  I changed my resolution from gnome's menu, and now can't get into X properly.
[14:56] <Shaba1> shernko80 after  you are done maybe you can help me
[14:56] <Mimi> raven,  shoudl be the 3rd or so app, in add/remove
[14:57] <mapreduce> I don't see any resolution setting in /etc/X11/xorg.conf; is there some way I should reset it?
[14:57] <Andreica> it's very hard to work when computer works so slow so i don't know what to do
[14:57] <Andreica> with my RAM
[14:58] <paule_> Andreica, how much of your swap file is in use? also, is there any reason you are running apache?
[14:58] <Nece228> why flash uses 100% cpu when i have exa mode enabled to my radeon 9600
[14:59] <Mimi> Andreica,  can you do this:     sudo apt-get install htop (easier to use)           then  open Terminal and run htop               then on the bar that says pID USER PRI...... etc....... click MEM% and make sure the highest numbers on that column.           then do a screenshot and post it here so we can see it
[14:59] <histo> Mimi: okay edit /usr/share/applications/gnome-terminal.desktop You are looking for the exec line near the bottom of that file append --geometry=90x15 there
[14:59] <Andreica> now only 6.2 Mb of swap are used
[14:59] <Mimi> histo,  *score*! That looks right! *try* thanks !
[14:59] <paule_> Andreica, try shutting down any programs like amarok you are not using to see if it speeds up
[14:59] <histo> Mimi: that will be system wide though
[14:59] <Mimi> histo,  not a prob, it's my laptop after all ^_^
[15:00] <nicku> Nece228: do you have drivers installed
[15:00] <SidGBF> What's the command to send a message to another user logged in the same server (using shell)?
[15:00] <paule_> Andreica, it might not be a memory issue, because it is faster for programs to use ram than the swap if they do not have to
[15:00] <histo> Mimi: if you need it for just your user i'm sure you could find something in gconf.
[15:00] <fde> SidGBF: write
[15:00] <histo> Mimi: You might have to log out and back in to have that take effect.
[15:00] <Shaba1> Hello
[15:00] <sedi-d> hey guys i need a lil help
[15:00] <Nece228> nicku: i have open source drivers
[15:00] <Shaba1> I could use help setting up the desktop
[15:01] <Mimi> histo,  Meh, I'll try anything, it seems silly but it really bothers me to have the terminal really big ;p
[15:01] <fde> Shaba1: specifically, what assistance do you require?
[15:01] <sedi-d> i have a 320 hard drive, i only partitioned and installed half of it for ubuntu, i was wondering could i partition and format the rest from ubuntu or woould i have to pop in the cd again?
[15:01] <taec> I just did a apt-get dist-upgrade and I'm being dropped into an initramfs shell ... eek. I upgraded to intrepid. My root device was an LVM device. has anyon experienced this?
[15:01] <nicku> Nece228: so you have radeon drivers installed.. are they working properly.. try glxgears
[15:01] <fde> sedi-d: you can use gparted from Ubuntu
[15:01] <histo> Mimi: The other thing to try is editing /usr/share/vte/termcap/xterm and changing the geometry settings in there since thats what gnome-terminal uses and emulates.  Either way should get the job done.
[15:02] <sedi-d> ok how do i find that?
[15:02] <Schenker80> guys I have a small problem now.  I have downloaded the desktop CD and I have booted my computer from it.  I have a black screen with white text and it says welcome to yaboot.  how do i install from this?
[15:02] <sedi-d> i mean where do i find gparted?
[15:02] <Shaba1> my screen res is set at 1024 X768 which I think it correct. But some dialogs and screens do get cut off at the bottom of the 'desktop'
[15:02] <Nece228> nicku: in exa mode everythink works perfect and faster than with xxa, but when i open flash movie pc starts lag horribly
[15:02] <fde> sedi-d: sudo aptitude install gparted
[15:02] <Dr_willis> SidGBF,  at one time there was the talk/chat/write commands.. but those are terminal only..  theres not an easy way to 'force' a message ont heir screen.. unless you are root..
[15:02] <erUSUL> taec: do not use lvm bu looks like a serious kernel initramfs bug...
[15:02] <Shaba1> I think you all call that a panel in linux fde
[15:02] <sedi-d> thanks
[15:02] <histo> Schenker80: what cd did you download? and from where?

[15:03] <sedi-d> this oS kicks ass:D
[15:03] <roy_hobbs> Hey, I'm having a problem with a remote tunnel.  I've set up a remote machine to ssh to me like "ssh -R 2200:localhost:22 my.local.machine"  I from my machine I can ssh to port 2200 and login to the remote machine, however outside connections to my.local.machine:2200 are denied...  Is this the expected behavior?  How can I change it?
[15:03] <fde> Shaba1: uhh, so you want assistance with setting up a panel? what exactly is wrong right now?
[15:03] <Schenker80> xubuntu-6.06-desktop-powerpc.iso from the unbuntu site
[15:03] <taec> erUSUL: why not use LVM?
[15:03] <Schenker80> i checked the MD5 and it was OK
[15:03] <Mimi> histo,  your gnome-terminal.desktop thingy worked without restart :D yay :D :D thanks so much,been trying for a while:) And you taught me where shortcuts are stored which i had been wondering for a while :)
[15:03] <Dr_willis> genii,  of course if hes on X.. well... :) then ya record a message to wav.. and play it onhis machine!
[15:03] <Shaba1> well I have two panels one at the top of the screen one at the bottom
[15:03] <erUSUL> taec: i dot see the need on a desktop computer
[15:04] <Schenker80> have i downloaded the wrong thing?
[15:04] <fde> taec: LVM has some overhead that isn't necessary on desktop systems...
[15:04] <Dr_willis> genii,  we need to track down a site of 'funny/silly linux tricks' :)
[15:04] <Shaba1> I am assuming that is the standard ubuntu way of setting up the screen and I have a 'desktop' in the middle.
[15:04] <fus10nx> hi all, i'm trying to schedule something to run via crontab but it's not working. It's a bash script that i've made but I can't figure out why it won't run. Is there a way to see why it's not running
[15:04] <TuxOtaku> anyone here use Avant Window Navigator?
[15:04] <taec> erUSUL: I'm not using it on a desktop system
[15:04] <blakkheim> when i got up this morning my ubuntu clock was 5 hours behind my regular time. i changed it back, but any ideas how that could have happened?
[15:04] <histo> Mimi: yeah those are the system wide ones. Each user has their own menu system too.
[15:04] <fde> TuxOtaku: no but why don't you ask your actual question instead of polling
[15:04] <wissman> I need to install ubuntu how can i make it
[15:04] <Mimi> !ask |    TuxOtaku,  i am, go ahead and ask your question, so who knows might be able to answer
[15:04] <Shaba1> the problem is that some dialog boxes and windows get cut off at the bottom when they come up on the 'desktop"
[15:04] <roy_hobbs> fus10nx, what's the job look like?
[15:04] <nicku> ravennium: mount any extra to example /home
[15:04] <Dr_willis> fus10nx,  common mistakes.. be sure to give full path to the script..   and be sure it startes with #!/bin/bash   are 2 issues ive seen in the past.
[15:04] <sedi-d> where is gparted located now??
[15:05] <Shaba1> does that make sense fde?
[15:05] <TuxOtaku> ok, does anyone know if you can change the speed that AWN pops up and down?
[15:05] <bazhang> sedi-d, install it
[15:05] <erUSUL> taec: ok i'm fine with people needing it using it i just pointed that i did not experience it simply becouse i do not use it
[15:05] <sedi-d> i did
[15:05] <fus10nx> roy_hobbs: 0 10 * * * /wg/scripts/start.bsh
[15:05] <Mimi> TuxOtaku,  yup, hit alt+f2 and enter gconf-editor then search for
[15:05] <sedi-d> it tells me because its so powerful only root can run it??
[15:05] <fde> Shaba1: yes... try increasing the resolution via System > Preferences > Screen Resolution
[15:05] <histo> sedi-d: sudo gparted
[15:05] <sedi-d> ok
[15:05] <histo> !sudo > sedi-d
[15:05] <ravennium> nicku, did you look at the pic? cos it seems that everything is in use. I can't use that space for anything as it is mounted. gparted doesn't give me option for unmounting it
[15:05] <fus10nx> roy_hobbs: and i'm entering it as root when I do contab e
[15:05] <fus10nx> -e
[15:06] <SOURdiesel> i read that if using an ssd drive it's recomended to delete the swap partition.  is this true?
[15:06] <Schenker80> OK histo:  I hit enter at this black screen and now I am booted from this CD.  I have an install option on the desktop - should I click that?
[15:06] <nicku> ravennium: can't you make a new install
[15:06] <TuxOtaku> Mimi, thanks!
[15:06] <Nece228> nicku: i have flash10, i tried flash 9 but no luck
[15:06] <roy_hobbs> fus10nx: so it's in /etc/cronttab
[15:06] <phrostbite> Here I come with another stupid question ;). I am trying to use the terminal to get to my pictures directory and i thought it started like "cd home/user/folder/folder" and so on. or am i completely wrong?
[15:06] <ravennium> I can and I will it that's the easiest way :D
[15:06] <fde> Schenker80: if your goal is to install Ubuntu, then yes......
[15:06] <histo> Schenker80: that would be to install ubuntu. But like I say where did you download this cd from? hopefully ubuntu.com
[15:06] <fus10nx> OH
[15:06] <fus10nx> no
[15:06] <Shaba1> No such menu fde
[15:06] <Nece228> nicku: also when i disable effects flash works good
[15:06] <Dr_willis> SOURdiesel,  ive heard they can ware out the drive faster..
[15:06] <erUSUL> taec: i ca not find a bug report of your problem in launchpad ...
[15:06] <fus10nx> i was just typing crontab -e
[15:06] <fus10nx> and entering it there
[15:06] <histo> !tab | Shaba1
[15:06] <Shaba1> I have an "applications' menu in that top panel
[15:06] <Schenker80> OK thanks.  Histo:  I did download the CD from ubuntu.com
[15:06] <fde> Shaba1: there should be... you're using Ubuntu or a deriv?
[15:06] <SOURdiesel> dr_willis: same thing i read.
[15:07] <Mimi> TuxOtaku,  sorry my msg got cut off . but do that, and then edit->find  search for AWN, click the items on the list at the bottom, and the proprety that changes the seconds is there somewhere. I actually needed to do that too, thanks for the reminder *goes do it*
[15:07] <histo> !who > Shaba1
[15:07] <Shaba1> xubuntu
[15:07] <ravennium> nicku, I will do that, since for what I know, it will be the easiest way
[15:07] <Andreica> there is screenshot http://s44.radikal.ru/i103/0811/86/af7ae4f954dc.jpg
[15:07] <fus10nx> roy_hobbs: cus other stuff i've schedule runs fine when i do crontab -e
[15:07] <nicku> ravennium: put about 8g to / and 1g to swap and all the rest to /home
[15:07] <shirish> hi all, what codecs are needed to read .dat files?
[15:07] <Dr_willis> SOURdiesel,  given the cost of those drives now.. :) im not worried about it.. plus ive never worn one out yet.
[15:07] <fde> Shaba1: yuck... try #xubuntu or #xfce unless someone else here knows there way around that
[15:07] <Schenker80> OK am i installing now, thanks again guys for the help.  it's much appreciated
[15:07] <ravennium> nicku, thanks! I'll do that
[15:07] <SOURdiesel> dr_willis: it also said to move the /tmp forlder to tmpfs.
[15:07] <nicku> ravennium: if you are using it for normal desktop usage that should be ok
[15:08] <shirish> ubottu: dat
[15:08] <shirish> ubottu: .dat
[15:08] <Dr_willis> SOURdiesel,  ram disks. :)  gotta love them.
[15:08] <Mimi> how about you guys just msg the bot lol
[15:08] <ravennium> nicku, for desktop and mythtv, so I won't need boot?
[15:08] <histo> Schenker80: you should check out help.ubuntu.com while you install
[15:08] <SOURdiesel> dr_willis: good to hear.  i have 8GB of RAM so the swap partition is probably hardly used.
[15:08] <wissman> can any body help me????
[15:08] <Mimi> !ask | wissman
[15:08] <Shaba1> fde: there is never anyone at the keys in that room
[15:08] <fde> shirish: .dat files are useless on linux machines
[15:08] <nicku> ravennium: if you don't make any boot partition the boot will be in /
[15:08] <Stavros> i need a home server running ubuntu and i need to decide between the desktop and server editions. i'd like a GUI on it, but it's not that necessary if the server version is much faster. which should i pick?
[15:09] <wissman> How can i install acrobate reader on ubuntu?
[15:09] <phrostbite> How do i use the terminal to get to a certain folder? I tried "cd home/user" and so on but i seem to be having a problem
[15:09] <Dr_willis> SOURdiesel,  yep.. 4 gb here..swap rarely used
[15:09] <Schenker80> ok histo, thank you i will have another look there too
[15:09] <ikonia> Stavros desktop ediition
[15:09] <roy_hobbs> fus10nx: do you have other cronjobs there that are working?
[15:09] <Dr_willis> phrostbite,  use proper paths  cd /home/usernam,e
[15:09] <ravennium> nicku, ok, thanks. I start installing it now :D
[15:09] <nicku> Stavros: i would go with desktop..
[15:09] <fus10nx> roy_hobbs: in crontab -e, yes
[15:09] <Stavros> what's different with the server edition?
[15:09] <Andreica> Mimi: there is screenshot http://s44.radikal.ru/i103/0811/86/af7ae4f954dc.jpg
[15:09] <SOURdiesel> dr_willis: i heard even after years that the ssd drives, even after so many rewrites will be fine.
[15:09] <fde> wissman: add the partners repo in system > administration > software sources ... the 3rd party tab... then search for it
[15:09] <phrostbite> Oh i forgot the / before home. Thank you very much
[15:09] <Dr_willis> phrostbite,  and 'cd' by default goes back to /home/YOURUSERNAME
[15:09] <SOURdiesel> dr_willis: er, read.
[15:09] <fus10nx> roy_hobbs: i've never entered anything in /etc/crontab but i'll give it a shut
[15:09] <erUSUL> phrostbite: if you are using absolute pathnames you have to begin with / (root) . «cd /home/user»
[15:09] <Pici> !server | Stavros
[15:09] <blakkheim> when i got up this morning my ubuntu clock was 5 hours behind my regular time. i changed it back, but any ideas how that could have happened?
[15:09] <roy_hobbs> fus10nx: then it is probably a problem with the script itself
[15:09] <Dr_willis> phrostbite,  as does cd ~
[15:10] <erUSUL> !cli | phrostbite
[15:10] <heret1c> My network bandwidth is significantly reduced (1&/5-1&19th of what it used to be)
[15:10] <histo> blakkheim: timezone changed
[15:10] <roy_hobbs> fus10nx: why don't you put something like "touch /home/fus10nx/Desktop/HELLO_WORLD" at the top of the script
[15:10] <Stavros> Pici: so apart from the kernel everything else is installable (mostly just apache)?
[15:10] <Pici> Stavros: Essentially, yes./
[15:10] <SOURdiesel> dr_willis:  i'll just leave it then.  just wanted a second opinion. thanks man.
[15:10] <Stavros> Pici: ah, i see
[15:10] <heret1c> can't find out why. anyone help me analyse it?
[15:10] <Stavros> thank you all for the information
[15:10] <fde> Stavros: everything worth while for linux is installable via apt
[15:10] <sedi-d> ok now my partition says i dont own it os i cant creat new folders:S what now
[15:11] <histo> heret1c: reduced from what it used to be.... When?  Whats changed ?
[15:11] <fde> sedi-d: you were told to do 'sudo gparted' for a reason
[15:11] <andre_pl> i'm having trouble compiling a new kernel (from upstream) I got the first one to build no problems but now I keep getting the error here: http://rafb.net/p/FTSEgX98.html
[15:11] <erUSUL> !gksudo
[15:11] <taec> erUSUL: do you know if there's anywhere I can get a description of the booting process with initramfs?
[15:11] <andre_pl> can anyone help me work around it? i Think its just a stupid mistake i'm making.
[15:12] <erUSUL> taec: well probably the initramfs lacks either the lvm kernel modules or the userspace utilities needed to deiscover and mount the volumes
[15:12] <Stavros> fde: true, i was wondering what's preinstalled, but i only need apache from the LAMP server (no mysql/php), so i guess it's not much different, thanks
[15:12] <fde> andre_pl: try #kernel ... this isn't really the place for that
[15:12] <Mimi> Andreica,  looks like you got many instances of beagle search running at the same time. I think only one should be running. You do know what beagle is, right?
[15:12] <Mimi> beagle is really memory and cpu heavy
[15:12] <heret1c> histo: from >500 kbs to approx. 130.
[15:12] <Andreica> yes, i stoped it, but RAM is still full
[15:12] <fde> Stavros: if you do a server install, very little will be pre-installed... they assume if you need a server that you know what you're doing  :)
[15:13] <taec> erUSUL: probably need lvm2 or lvm within the initramfs image
[15:13] <erUSUL> taec: yep; but i can be sure 100% that's the problem... maybe it is the sata drivers/config what failed
[15:13] <mnemo> ubuntu dev packages for glib seems broken in intrepid? --> http://rafb.net/p/ikBxTy13.html   how can I workaround that? I need to build glib
[15:13] <andre_pl> fde: but I'm building the kernel using all of the standard ubuntu tools for the job, this sin't a compilation issue, its a packaging and installation issue
[15:14] <Zzeiss1> sedi-d: go ahead.... what's your question.
[15:14] <taec> erUSUL: true ... do you know how to tell what the initramfs image was built with?
[15:14] <fde> Andreica: I would recommend tracker over beagle... but even that is going to be resource heavy as its going to be indexing a lot of stuff probably
[15:14] <Stavros> fde: i already have a server install working fine, i'm just considering switching to the desktop one because i'm getting an eee box i can mount behind a screen :P
[15:14] <taec> erUSUL: I'm thinking a re-install at this stage would be the quickest option, so I think I'll load up the machine and hopefully be able to back it up
[15:14] <Stavros> fde: i'll probably need some sort of kvm or NX or something
[15:14] <erUSUL> taec: no; sorry... you should file a bug report to launchpad given all the details
[15:15] <histo> heret1c: what has changed since then software/hardware wise
[15:15] <erUSUL> taec: hapefully there you will get better answers
[15:15] <Mimi> Andreica,  http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-281491.html
[15:15] <erUSUL> !bugs | taec
[15:15] <histo> heret1c: if nothign try booting from the install cd and see if maybe it was an update that caused the issue.
[15:15] <sedi-d> how i formated the extra partion to ext 3 is that ok?, also when i click on it and try to create a new forlder in the new drive it wont let me, at propertys it says i dont have permission
[15:15] <histo> heret1c: then you just need to figure out which update.
[15:15] <bazhang> sedi-d, are you editing a mounted partition?
[15:16] <heret1c> histo: nothing, afaik.
[15:16] <sedi-d> im not sure, its part of the same harddrive
[15:16] <ikonia> sedi-d that means at least the TOC will be in use
[15:16] <fde> andre_pl: where is it getting the version number from? it wants it there twice for some reason....
[15:16] <heret1c> histo: I'll check w. synaptic's history.
[15:16] <bazhang> sedi-d, you are better off doing that with the livecd or the gparted livecd
[15:17] <sedi-d> ahhh ok
[15:17] <sedi-d> i guess ill google that thanks but what should i format it as after?
[15:17] <fde> You can stretch an ext3 partition just fine while its mounted... just don't shrink it  ;)
[15:17] <Andreica> i stopped all beagle processes and RAM is still 700Mb
[15:17] <bazhang> sedi-d, is this a dual boot or only ubuntu
[15:18] <fde> idk whether gparted will let you, but it won't cause any issues at all
[15:18] <andre_pl> fde: I have no idea, i checked out the kernel source from git and followed https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/GitKernelBuild to build it. it worked the first time, but not since then
[15:18] <reisi> hi everone! i'm attempting to install ubuntu server 8.04.1 on a server with 4 disk hw-raid 1+0, so I have approx 1.4TB available.. now that i'm creating an lvm on it, i cannot get enough extents to allow me create 1490000MB vg for root and use the rest ~10GB for swap. what am i doing wrong, or should i just settle with the 400GB swap partition the installer suggests me? :)
[15:18] <ikonia> reisi what raid controller
[15:18] <bazhang> Andreica, are you using compiz
[15:19] <fluffles> what would perform better on Ubuntu 8.10 amd64: ZFS using ZFS-FUSE or setting up a VM with FreeBSD using kernel-ZFS and using samba to mount on the linux system?
[15:19] <ikonia> reisi why would you need a 400GB swap partition
[15:19] <heret1c> histo: xulrunner and libxml updates.
[15:19] <fde> andre_pl: hmm, then file a bug about it on bugs.launchpad.net under kernel-package .... that isn't normal
[15:19] <Andreica> yes, there is so process
[15:19] <Pici> !who
[15:19] <fluffles> ikonia, seems to me he can't make the swap partition smaller
[15:19] <bazhang> Andreica, turn off compiz
[15:20] <ikonia> fluffles: thats not as I read it
[15:20] <xRaich[o]2x> fluffles: if you want zfs, solaris is the way to go right now
[15:20] <fluffles> xRaich[o]2x, i see no reason to use solaris when there's FreeBSD with a good working kernel ZFS port
[15:21] <fluffles> included in native dist
[15:21] <Mimi> ??? Are there supposed to be so many instances of the same program running? http://s44.radikal.ru/i103/0811/86/af7ae4f954dc.jpg
[15:21] <reisi> ikonia: E200i from HP
[15:21] <andre_pl> fde: I tried asking in #kernel and apparently it doesn't look like anything kernel related, its a debian/ubuntu packaging thing they say
[15:21] <ikonia> reisi what chassis is this in
[15:21] <xRaich[o]2x> fluffles: the zfs support on freebsd only supports version 6 by now. plus no nfsv4 acls and a lot of other stuff
[15:21] <fde> andre_pl: yeah, its a kernel-package bug
[15:21] <ikonia> reisi eg: is it the onboard one, or the pci version
[15:21] <fluffles> xRaich[o]2x, point is, the disks are on a linux system. so i either have to use a VM and use FreeBSD to use the disks for ZFS, or use Fuse-ZFS which is by far not as good as FreeBSD's implementation
[15:22] <Jeruvy> Mimi: for some programs, yes it's normal
[15:22] <fde> andre_pl: kernel-package is a debian tool to compile .deb's from kernel source
[15:22] <sedi-d> so theres no way to get my extra partition to work through gparted?
[15:22] <fluffles> xRaich[o]2x, the basic functionality is enough for me, but FYI the newest version (13 i believe?) has been ported as well, might or might not make it into 7.1
[15:22] <xRaich[o]2x> fluffles: afaik zfs version 13 was commited 3 days ago to head
[15:22] <bazhang> sedi-d, use the livecd or the gparted livecd; is this dual boot or only ubuntu
[15:22] <andre_pl> fde: ok thanks, I'm going to keep working away at it, I'm pretty deseratate to get his working today
[15:22] <xRaich[o]2x> fluffles: but that would be very bleeding edge
[15:22] <dlc> would ubuntu work on 790fx with raid enable
[15:22] <fde> andre_pl: if its just for that box though, and you don't want to wait, you can try a regular compilation of the kernel.... but make sure you file a bug on kernel-package
[15:23] <Jeruvy> sedi-d: I think your question has been answered a couple times now.
[15:23] <sedi-d> i dont wnat dual boot, i just wanna be able to use my extra space
[15:23] <sedi-d> kk
[15:23] <sedi-d> im just making sure
[15:23] <reisi> ikonia: it's onboard
[15:23] <bazhang> sedi-d, only ubuntu?
[15:23] <sedi-d> ya
[15:23] <Split> ,
[15:23] <bazhang> use ext3
[15:23] <sedi-d> is that an bad idea?
[15:23] <ikonia> reisi so your using the ubuntu install to create an lvm based system yes/no ?
[15:23] <andre_pl> fde: I dont know how to do a "regular compilation" what I dont get is that this exact process worked with the same kenel source the first time I ran it.
[15:23] <bazhang> sedi-d, depends on you
[15:23] <heret1c> histo: can u suggest a way to analyse it?
[15:23] <fluffles> xRaich[o]2x, CURRENT is really quite stable, FreeBSD is a pretty conservative OS. it might be a good for users who need that bleeding edge and find themselves in a non-mission critical setup
[15:24] <fde> andre_pl: kernel-package is only really useful if you plan to move the resulting .deb to another machine or something, the normal process is much less error prone ime
[15:24] <deuterium> another question: if i exchange the network card by a different model (i replaced a e1000 by a realtek 8139), do i need to tell ubuntu about it so it can access the network again?
[15:24] <sedi-d> ah thanks for the help guys
[15:24] <fde> andre_pl: probably kernel-package was upgraded recently, idk
[15:24] <andre_pl> fde: where can I find the normal process?
[15:24] <hmw> i need a website play a sound in firefox (a chat telling me, if i got visitors), and have used <embed> to play .wav files (works in IE). Cant find out, how to make firefox play it, woo. I remember somtehing about qt, but FF doesnt ask me anymore... how do i make FF play wav?
[15:24] <xRaich[o]2x> fluffles: i'm going to checkout current today or later. my main laptop is running solaris but i have another one that's screams for freebsd ^^
[15:24] <bazhang> deuterium, what does ifconfig show
[15:24] <Jeruvy> deuterium: sure, but make sure the card is 'supported' first.
[15:24] <poopuser> hi.how can i determinate what type of mainboard i am using?
[15:24] <masuran> Can anyone help me with this embarassing problem: I accidently deleted my site-packages folder (python2.5) Now things are pretty messed up :(
[15:25] <dlc>  would ubuntu work on 790fx with raid enable
[15:25] <deuterium> bazhang: well, the box doesn't run at the moment, but it doesn't seem to be able to access the network
[15:25] <fluffles> xRaich[o]2x, by all means, try -CURRENT, so you can see how FreeBSD + ZFS performs. Just make sure to recompile your kernel so you have all the debug stuff disabled
[15:25] <dlc> plz help me  would ubuntu work on 790fx with raid enable
[15:25] <Jeruvy> dlc: whats a 790fx with raid enable?
[15:25] <fde> andre_pl: google knows...
[15:25] <hmw> any other method of audible signal would be okay, too. should work in any browser, if possible
[15:25] <bazhang> deuterium, that card should be supported, you just need to check ifconfig for it
[15:26] <dlc> amd
[15:26] <deuterium> Jeruvy: is there a ubuntu tool for configuring the network settings (i.e. tell ubuntu about the changed nic)?
[15:26] <reisi> ikonia: yes i am
[15:26] <deuterium> bazhang: so it should be setup automagically?
[15:26] <xRaich[o]2x> fluffles: sure i will do it. but my main box will stay solaris. had freebsd some time ago. i still prefer solaris but freebsd is great also
[15:26] <fde> andre_pl: its basically just 'make menuconfig && make && make modules_install && make bzImage' though...
[15:26] <bazhang> deuterium, that one should do yes
[15:26] <ikonia> reisi can you explain your layout ? (rememebr to make a seperate /boot parttiion outside lvm)
[15:26] <Jeruvy> deuterium: ifconfig, network settings.  probably some others too
[15:26] <raven> i cannot locate a program to extract these 7z i have, archive manager won't do it.
[15:26] <reisi> ikonia: but i'll think i go with more static partitionin.. use 250MB for /boot, 100G for /, 10G for swap, and the rest for lvm for data storage
[15:26] <deuterium> bazhang, Jeruvy: ok, thanks
[15:27] <hmw> raven: 7zip
[15:27] <masuran> Can anyone help me with this embarassing problem: I accidently deleted my site-packages folder (python2.5) Now things are pretty messed up :( Any idea on how I can reinstall the needed files?
[15:27] <ikonia> reisi whoaa 10GB swap, thats a lot, but the rest seems quite snsible
[15:27] <Kl4m> there's a problem with configuring big ext3 partitions in the installer. You could try to create it another way, or maybe another system (xfs?)
[15:27] <fde> andre_pl: there is more to read though if you want a decent kernel... you can use the old .config from Ubuntu's kernel too though like what your guide stated
[15:27] <Jeruvy> raven: you've been told to get 7zip, 'sudo apt-get 7zip'
[15:27] <fluffles> xRaich[o]2x, what are the things you like more on solaris than freebsd?
[15:27] <reisi> ikonia: hmm yes, but disk space is cheap
[15:27] <ikonia> reisi: you should have no problems with a 1.4TB root VG, I have a box with just nder 4tb in one VG and there is no problem
[15:27] <raven> hmw, "couldn't find package 7zip"
[15:27] <bazhang> fluffles, xRaich[o]2x please chat in #ubuntu-offtopic
[15:27] <fluffles> sorry
[15:28] <Kl4m> raven: p7zip
[15:28] <Jeruvy> raven then search for the right name
[15:28] <reisi> ikonia: just that the ubuntu guided lvm SUGGESTED that 1TB root and 400G swap :)
[15:28] <Kl4m> raven: wait, p7zip-full
[15:28] <ikonia> reisi ahh, the suggestion, sorry I missed that part
[15:28] <raven> Kl4m, tyvm
[15:28] <andre_pl> fde: thanks. I'm going to give it a shot
[15:29] <Andreica> when i turned off compiz, all windows dissapeared
[15:29] <fde> Andreica: metacity --replace
[15:29] <hmw> I am looking for a way to make a SOUND with HTML in Firefox!
[15:29] <fde> Andreica: uhh, unless you're using kde or xfce or something?
[15:29] <xRaich[o]2x> fluffles: join #ubuntu-offtopic and i will tell you
[15:30] <fde> hmw: this isn't a web site creation channel
[15:30] <dmulholland> hey, im running ubuntu on a netbook, are there any other lightweight browsers (not firefox or epiphany)
[15:30] <hmw> its about my firefox no longer asking for the plugin
[15:30] <wavsyntax> Opera
[15:30] <julian> hi can somebody tell me pls how the command is for tar.gz a folder with all subdirs and user rights?
[15:30] <scunizi> dmulholland, elinks
[15:30] <wavsyntax> is a good browser
[15:30] <hmw> wav: for sound? i will try
[15:30] <fde> hmw: there are a couple of standard ways add sounds to a site... or you just want to play back a sound?
[15:30] <Andreica> i'm using 64bit Ubuntu 8.10,Gnome
[15:30] <dmulholland> wavsyntax, not really lightweight enough, have it installed
[15:31] <Schenker80> good news, guys, I have installed xubuntu!!!!
[15:31] <fde> hmw: please don't use opera, its crap and not a valid answer to your issue  :/
[15:31] <wavsyntax> Sound? oh my bad, not sure what you mean exactly, I jsut got finished rubbing one out and came back to chat
[15:31] <hmw> it currently uses <embed> to tell me, that a visitor joined the chat. some time ago, FF asked me for a QT plugin, but it doesnt do anymore
[15:31] <wavsyntax> Ahhh
[15:31] <scunizi> !language | wavsyntax
[15:31] <wavsyntax> If I were you I'd go with Macromedia Flash to utilize sound on a web page
[15:32] <hmw> i tried that too. maybe i am too stupid today. in my chat, the flash player wont show...
[15:32] <hmw> on a normal website it does come up
[15:32] <hmw> arr
[15:32] <fde> hmw: that is the preferred way... your browser isn't displaying it?
[15:32] <Zzeiss1> wavsyntax: except that a lot of clients don't have any flash.  Like iPhones.  Or many linux machines...
[15:32] <wavsyntax> lol my bad, It's my first time here, I'm from Yahoo normally
[15:32] <Mimi> Or you could go the 1997 webpage way, and insert loud obnoxious MIDIs that blast your speakers as you open the page
[15:32] <wavsyntax> I will respect the rules here
[15:32] <hmw> i have a website with a mp3 flash streamer. i put the code to the chat, but it doesnt work
[15:32] <fde> Zzeiss1: uhh, iPhones have flash....
[15:33] <hmw> what was this QT thing??
[15:33] <wavsyntax> Hmmm, would Java be a decent alternative?
[15:33] <hmw> i remember quicktime can play embed wavs
[15:33] <wavsyntax> Lots of phones use Java apps
[15:33] <Mimi> wavsyntax,  have you tried asking in #web ? They might be able to helpp better over there
[15:33] <hmw> but how do i get this QT
[15:33] <fde> hmw: no idea... firefox isn't a qt app, so I'd just ignore that
[15:33] <hmw> maybe i should downgrade to FF 2
[15:33] <wavsyntax> Wasn't my question, I'm trying to help as well
[15:33] <n8tuser> julian -> have you man tar yet?
[15:34] <wavsyntax> I forget who originally asked the question
[15:34] <fde> hmw: no... please answer my questions regarding what exactly is wrong, your question isn't very clear right now.
[15:34] <Schenker80> now.....how do I get my airport card working?
[15:34] <hmw> uhm
[15:34] <wavsyntax> I appreciate the advice though, Mimi
[15:34] <hmw> i try... sorry. ...:
[15:35] <wavsyntax> I jsut got into Linux the other day, tried Ubuntu and it totally failed, xubuntu is awesome though
[15:35] <fde> Mimi: I'm fairly sure its a media plugin issue with Firefox that he's asking about... but wavsyntax keeps confusing him and myself with silly questions and unrelated advice.
[15:36] <Ximal> !help
[15:36] <hmw> i remember FF asking me if it should install a QT plugin, when the chat tried to play the wav. I think, this plugin was able to play the thing, but i am not sure, becaues it was a while ago. i dont find anything, how to get a qt plugin for ubuntu/ff nor does ff askme for ANY plugin anymore. i de- and reinstalled FF already
[15:36] <hmw> are you saying, there is no QT plugin for FF?
[15:37] <wavsyntax> It's a bit difficult to keep up in here if you're not used to it I guess, which I'm not.
[15:37] <scunizi> !who | wavsyntax
[15:37] <loller> comand to paste the partitions of the hard?
[15:37] <fde> hmw: forget about qt... you want wav playback in firefox? sudo aptitude install ubuntu-restricted-extras, close out firefox and restart it and try again
[15:38] <wavsyntax> Ah, I appologize ubottu, I'm used to speaking to pretty much anyone who's watching :p
[15:38] <fde> wavsyntax: ubottu is a bot, not a real person
[15:38] <wavsyntax> Wow, I'm a wicked noob
[15:38] <loller> i wanna see the partions of the hard `cause i trying to configure grub
[15:38] <scunizi> loller, sudo blkid
[15:38] <wavsyntax> This is fun though
[15:39] <scunizi> loller, sudo fdisk -l
[15:39] <fde> wavsyntax: try #ubuntu-social ... this isn't a chat channel
[15:39] <fde> or is it #ubuntu-offtopic?
[15:39] <bazhang> #ubuntu-offtopic
[15:39] <mithraic> I have a curious dual monitors issue
[15:39] <scunizi> offtopic
[15:39] <hmw> offtopic fde wavsyntax
[15:39] <joseahuelva> /server libres.irc-hispano.org
[15:39] <wavsyntax> Alright then.
[15:39] <wavsyntax> I'll go there.
[15:40] <mithraic> I haven't been able to get dual monitors working with the ATI panel, but setting it up in xrandr seems to work
[15:40] <mithraic> i.e. I can do xrandr --output CRT2 --right-of CRT1
[15:40] <mithraic> and I'm off to the races
[15:40] <mithraic> BUT: I can't move windows from the first monitor to the second!
[15:40] <hmw> fde: any reason why using aptitude?
[15:40] <mithraic> I can resize a window to span onto the second monitor
[15:40] <mithraic> and once I've got a bit there, I can move it around fine
[15:41] <fde> hmw: I just prefer it, much more powerful than regular apt-get...
[15:41] <scunizi> mithraic, look into the xinerama extension.. not sure if it works with both nvidia & ati but I think it does..
[15:42] <loller> is that ok the part of loading windows http://paste.ubuntu.com/74810/
[15:42] <Zzeiss1> mithraic: Xinerama may be a little deprecated.  Xrandr however rocks... :)
[15:43] <fde> hmw: while that's going though, can you type: dpkg -l totem-mozilla | grep ^ii  ... then paste the output here so I can ensure it will indeed work? (its only one line, if it was more, you'd get in trouble for pasting here)
[15:43] <mithraic> maybe this is just a compiz problem or something
[15:43] <Chaostos> hi again..guys im in love with Rhytmbox music player(Ubuntu 8.10) ..is there some sort of Equalizer plugin for it ?
[15:43] <mithraic> i've turned off wobbly windows
[15:43] <scunizi> Zzeiss1, true.. but how does mithraic get seperate x screens with "drag between" to work?
[15:43] <loller> somebody or to check out manually
[15:43] <mithraic> oh, and: I can drag from screen 2 back to screen 1 fine
[15:44] <mithraic> but going the other way, the window just "sticks" at the screen edge
[15:44] <scizzo-> Chaostos: there has only been thoughts about it I believe....nothing out there yet from what I know
[15:44] <fde> loller: it should be fine, yes... if Windows is at /dev/sda5
[15:44] <k0rnz> how can i fix this error? mount /dev/sdb2 /usb1
[15:44] <k0rnz> mount: you must specify the filesystem type
[15:44] <Zzeiss1> mithraic: hmmm... I saw that once.  I think it was when I was still using Xinerama.  Try not using it.
[15:44] <scunizi> mithraic, if you have compiz enabled try turning it off.
[15:44] <Zzeiss1> mithrac: lemme check the config on my dualheaded machine  -- one sec please.
[15:44] <erUSUL> k0rnz: mount -t whateverfs /dev/sdb2 /usb1
[15:44] <loller> fde nope it is in sda4
[15:45] <hmw> ii  totem-mozilla                              2.22.1-0ubuntu2
[15:45] <mithraic> sorry, how do i turn off compiz (use metacity) entirely?
[15:45] <erUSUL> k0rnz: probably in whateverfs you want vfat
[15:45] <loller> fde so i have to change it
[15:45] <erUSUL> mithraic: system<Preferences>Effects disable them
[15:45] <hmw> ii  totem-mozilla                              2.22.1-0ubuntu2
[15:45] <bazhang> mithraic, appearances visual effects set to none
[15:45] <fde> loller: yes... /dev/sda starts at 1, but grub starts with 0
[15:45] <loller> fde i see i start counting from 0 like the arrays in programing ...
[15:45] <k0rnz> erUSUL thanks
[15:45] <bazhang> then alt f2 metacity --replace
[15:45] <loller> fde ok
[15:45] <fde> hmw: yes, that's fine... so once that aptitude command is done, you should be good to go
[15:45] <Zzeiss1> oh, yeah, you need to turn off compiz.  And also try setting the subsection Display \n Virtual 3200 1200.
[15:46] <Zzeiss1> Then xrandr to get dual screens
[15:46] <hmw> fde: no :(
[15:47] <fde> bazhang: he can just type metacity --replace ... no need to set compiz effects to none... in fact the latter is supposed to replace compiz with metacity
[15:47] <Ximal> what's the xchat command to disconnect from the server u r on when u r connected to multiple networks ?
[15:47] <fde> bazhang: the only reason you'd have to do both is if setting effects to 'none' fails to initialize metacity for some reason
[15:48] <fde> Ximal: just right click on the server and close it
[15:48] <peepsalot> i upgraded my laptop to intrepid yesterday and now my resolution is all messed up again.  I'm using nvidia driver.  do I have to edit this stupid xorg.conf again?  i thought i read so much hype that the days of xorg.conf were over
[15:48] <k0rnz> erUSUL: this is all my errors I am seeing when I try to mount /dev/sdb2 which is partition 2 on my usb flashdrive. the partition type is set as Linux when I created it in fdisk
[15:49] <k0rnz> http://pastebin.com/de1f22c4
[15:49] <danub> what application can i use to get images from my built in webcam?
[15:49] <peepsalot> my laptop supports 1920x1200, but all i can get is 800x600
[15:49] <bazhang> peepsalot, which card and did you install nvidia-settings
[15:49] <aldarsior> peepsalot: you can run this nvidia program that's under system: Administration
[15:49] <erUSUL> k0rnz: what filesystem is the partition formtaed with ??
[15:49] <erUSUL> danub: cheese
[15:49] <mithraic> update: Turning off compiz entirely does let me drag between monitors.
[15:49] <aldarsior> peepsalot: you need to install it
[15:50] <mithraic> So that narrows it down to one of the 235 Compiz plugins.
[15:50] <danub> ok, ill get it. thanks erUSUL
[15:50] <erUSUL> danub: no problem
[15:50] <zleap_> k0rnz: my mount points are in /media
[15:50] <Stalker72> How do I remove parts of a picture in GIMP?
[15:50] <aldarsior> and you need to run it in an sudo wrapper or it will crash when you try to save settings
[15:50] <zleap_> or on sone systems this may be /mnt
[15:50] <aldarsior> Stalker72: with the crop tool?
[15:50] <fde> hmw: hmm... you restarted firefox? you can try installing 'sudo aptitude install wavpack totem-xine && sudo aptitude purge totem-gstreamer
[15:50] <zleap_> e.g /media/camera
[15:51] <zleap_> pr /mnt/camera
[15:51] <zleap_> or
[15:51] <poopuser> i have a question - it's not pure linux related but i would be very glad if someone could help.i have 865 foxconn motherboard.is there a way to enable usb keyboard at boot?lately i can't even boot my os.thx in advance
[15:51] <loller> vmware doesn`t work after i upgrade from 8.04 to 8.10 looks like the kernels are incompatible any suggestion http://paste.ubuntu.com/74812/ ?
[15:51] <bazhang> poopuser, is this ubuntu
[15:51] <Stalker72> aldarsior: Let's say I have a picture of a face and a background.. I want to remove parts of the background from the picture so only the face is left... Not just clear, but remove totally
[15:51] <fde> hmw: they work here, but I use the xine backend for movies so that libdvdcss works... so it might be an issue with gstreamer idk
[15:51] <lorenzosu> I installed ubuntu 8.10 on a hp laptop with wubi. It has an ATI graphics card and every time I reboot/shutdown/log out it freezes
[15:51] <k0rnz> erUSUL: I created /dev/sdb2 with filesystem in fdisk type: linux (83)
[15:51] <erUSUL> loller: probably you need to reinstall the vmware kernel modules (or reinstall vmware)
[15:52] <poopuser> bazhang: but i want to boot my ubanto ; )
[15:52] <fde> poopuser: ##hardware
[15:52] <peepsalot> bazhang, aldarsior i get put into some safe graphics mode, and when i try to run nvidia settings it tells me "You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X river PLease edit your X configuration file (just run nvidia-xconfig as root), and restart the X server."
[15:52] <poopuser> fde: tu
[15:52] <erUSUL> k0rnz: but you did not fromated it yet... what filesystem you want to use in the parition?
[15:52] <oskar-> poopuser:  look for an option like "usb legacy support" in the bios setup
[15:52] <peepsalot> bazhang, aldarsior i ran nvidia-xconfig and restarted X, but still same issue
[15:52] <loller> erUSUL how should i reinstall the vmware kernel ?
[15:52] <bazhang> peepsalot, did you install the driver from hardware drivers? what card is this
[15:52] <erUSUL> k0rnz: you can use gparted to easily format it
[15:52] <poopuser> fde / oskar thx for help
[15:52] <k0rnz> erUSUL thanks
[15:53] <peepsalot> bazhang, i can't remember the exact card name, it's a quadro something
[15:53] <hmw> a system beep would be enough *sigh* did your last command, without much success... ibtw i ended up in aptitude's ui
[15:53] <bazhang> peepsalot, check lspci
[15:53] <erUSUL> loller: not sure.. maybe they have a helpper script to recompile/reinstall modules? never used vmware
[15:53] <Maximander> Anyone know how to get 802.11 N rates with intrepid iwlagn / intel 4965 using 2.6.27-7 x64 ?
[15:53] <peepsalot> bazhang, the restricted drivers manager says that the nviida drvier is in use
[15:53] <bazhang> peepsalot, this is intrepid?
[15:53] <fde> hmw: you certainly shouldn't have
[15:53] <peepsalot> bazhang, quadro nvs 140M
[15:53] <erUSUL> Maximander: i think that N spec is not supported in linux yet
[15:53] <lorenzosu> I installed ubuntu 8.10 on a hp laptop with wubi. It has an ATI graphics card and every time I reboot/shutdown/log out it freezes
[15:53] <peepsalot> bazhang, yes
[15:53] <bazhang> peepsalot, does it list more than one and say which is recommended?
[15:54] <Stalker72> How do I resize a picture in GIMP?
[15:54]  * Maximander grumbles "Ready for the desktop my a**..."
[15:54] <bazhang> Stalker72, with the resize tool
[15:54] <peepsalot> bazhang, i am running the recommended version (177) there is also a version 173
[15:54] <erUSUL> Stalker72: image>resize??? this is not really a gimp channel you know
[15:54] <bazhang> Stalker72, check the gimp user docs at their site
[15:54] <lorenzosu> Stalker72, the whole picture or just a layer?
[15:54] <loller> the only problem is that if reinstall the vmware my virtual machine won`t work i afraid so ....
[15:54] <Rainarrow> Hello, how do I reinstall the stock kernel modules using apt-get after screwing up in compiling modules?
[15:55] <peepsalot> bazhang, should I try 173?
[15:55] <hmw> fde: in firefox' settings, wav can be set to "Totem Web Browser Plugin" or "Movie Player (default)" and "Ask", "Save"... it neither asks nor asks me to save!
[15:55] <Dr_willis> Stalker72,  'scale image' perhaps
[15:55] <bazhang> peepsalot, once you enabled did you reboot?
[15:55] <Stalker72> lorenzosu: I want to remove some of the background completely..
[15:55] <Maximander> even vista supports 802.11n, and I see several tickets related to 802.11n and iwlagn. Is there a flag I can throw to test N support?
[15:55] <hmw> fde: i pasted your command badly... retrying
[15:55] <peepsalot> bazhang, it has been enabled the whole time since the upgrade.  i have rebooted a few timne
[15:55] <NEWK> Just a quick question...
[15:55] <NEWK> What file system does Ubuntu use?
[15:56] <bazhang> newk largely ext3
[15:56] <Dr_willis> NEWK,  ext3 by default
[15:56] <NEWK> OK, thank you
[15:56] <Maximander> NEWK:  but you can pick whatever you want in the installer
[15:56] <Stalker72> How do I remove parts of a picture in GIMP?
[15:56] <NEWK> I need to install an ext3 driver on my Windows partition so Windows can see the Ubuntu FS
[15:56] <Dr_willis> Stalker72,  you really should go track down a GIMP tutorial or 3
[15:56] <NEWK> any tips? because I've never done this before
[15:56] <Dr_willis> Stalker72,  use the Selexct tool and  'select/cut' out whatyou dont want..
[15:57] <hasni> salut tt le monde
[15:57] <Rainarrow> How to reinstall the stock kernel modules?
[15:57] <oskar-> NEWK:  yes, or an ext2 driver. i heard, that there is no stable solution out there. correct me, if i'm wrong
[15:57] <fde> NEWK: you want an ext2 driver ... ext3 is ext2 with a journel... you don't need that journel to just mount the partition
[15:57] <Stalker72> Dr_willis: That only clears it.. It doesn't remove it from the picture
[15:57] <NEWK> oh, ok, cool
[15:57] <Maximander> NEWK: You have three options: a real FS driver for ext2, an explorer extension, or a standalone app
[15:57] <fde> http://www.fs-driver.org/
[15:58] <NEWK> thank you. :)
[15:58] <lorenzosu> Stalker72, type "/join #gimp" (without quotes) to join the GIMP-related channel
[15:58] <Dr_willis> Stalker72,  depends on whatyou mean by clear vs remove..     add a transparency layer if you want to totally 'clear' an area
[15:58] <peepsalot> bazhang, any suggestions?
[15:58] <Maximander> NEWK: with the fs-driver and ext2 support, some things won't work, including hibernating in one OS and then booting the other
[15:58] <lorenzosu> Stalker72, type "/join #gimp" (without quotes) to join the GIMP-related channel
[15:58] <lorenzosu> I installed ubuntu 8.10 on a hp laptop with wubi. It has an ATI graphics card and every time I reboot/shutdown/log out it freezes
[15:59] <Dr_willis> NEWK,  the fs-driver tool under windows.. can cause some issues.. use it with care.. and i always 'unmount' the linux drives from their drive letters under windows - when Im not using them in windows..
[15:59] <thebishop> hello.  I'm trying to disable the media buttons on my Toshiba laptop, but this toshset utility says my kernel doesn't have Toshiba support.  How can I do this with the Ubuntu stock kernel?
[15:59] <Maximander> NEWK: the advantage to using a userland program on windows to browse ext2/3 partitions is that they don't keep it mounted
[16:00] <NEWK> unmounting it won't be too much of a problem
[16:00] <NEWK> I'll just use the driver
[16:00] <Maximander> and this the whole hibernate, corruption, or unclean dismount issues become non-issues
[16:00] <Maximander> k, good luck
[16:00] <NEWK> thanks
[16:00] <shoat> I have an ipw2200 wireless adapter.  Since the upgrade to intrepid, my wireless keeps dropping/reconnecting.  Any workarounds until the fix is released?  I have associate=0 set already
[16:01] <hmw> fde: in FF: Edit/Preferences/Applications/WAV there is still those 4 options: Always Ask/Save/Movie Player(default)/Totem Webbroser Plugin and CHOOSE. Could I choose something? And: I thought i just purged the Totem plugin!?
[16:01] <fde> hmw: no, you switched backend
[16:02] <mikevankuik> Hi how do I retrive a fresh list of packages for apt-get ? I've tried apt-get update but it doesn't give me back lighttpd as an option ( I threw a bit to much away (A))
[16:02] <tavis> is there a current package for cli that shows file copy speed/progress like the old vcp?
[16:02] <hmw> fde: either i have become a normal user this night, or someting is wrong with my ubuntu. i dont have had much luck with it *g* only my 800MHz machine is doing really fine with ubuntu
[16:02] <histo> mikevankuik: apt-get update will retrieve a list of whats availible
[16:02] <Try_Hard_Go_Pro> mikevankuik: applications -> Add/Remove
[16:03] <histo> !info lighttpd
[16:03] <erUSUL> shoat: maybe linux-backports-modules-2.6.27-7-generic contains a more stable driver
[16:03] <hmw> REALLY fine! even compiz is very fast
[16:03] <histo> mikevankuik: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^
[16:03] <fde> mikevankuik: lighttpd is in intrepid...
[16:03] <erUSUL> !backports | shoat
[16:03] <rhsanborn> Is there any harm in using apt-get install in ubuntu? I want to make sure that synaptic doesn't have it's own independent database that won't get updated if I use the command line
[16:03] <hmw> but i want my sound *sniff*
[16:03] <hmw> ANY
[16:03] <histo> mikevankuik: you have to have the universe repo enabled
[16:03] <hmw> system beep
[16:03] <Pici> !enter
[16:04] <mikevankuik> Try_Hard_Go_Pro: I'm in a terminal nog in a GUI ^_^ (server package)
[16:04] <loller> someone having experience with vmware ?
[16:04] <fde> hmw: idk what is wrong at this point.... it should be working as your setup matches mine  :/
[16:04] <mikevankuik> fde: ? what do you mean? how do I get it back in the list?
[16:04] <hmw> fde: thanks for trying anyways
[16:04] <fde> mikevankuik: enable universe in system > administration > software sources
[16:05] <fde> mikevankuik: you probably want multiverse too
[16:05] <mikevankuik> fde: I'm not in a gui I'm ssh-ing my server
[16:05] <Skky> does anyone know the CLI command to change desktop background image?
[16:05] <fde> mikevankuik: then edit /etc/apt/sources.list and uncomment the lines related to universe (and multiverse)
[16:06] <NEWK> hhhmmm,
[16:06] <NEWK> I installed the driver in Windows
[16:07] <NEWK> but it says it's not formatted
[16:07] <NEWK> and it just says the filesystem is "Linux"
[16:07] <fde> Skky: look in ~/.gconf/desktop/gnome/background/
[16:07] <peepsalot> bazhang, i tried version 173 and it works now
[16:07] <Try_Hard_Go_Pro> mikevankuik: what package do you want
[16:07] <bazhang> peepsalot good news
[16:08] <hmw> NEWK: windows cant read the linux fs natively
[16:08] <ikonia> last NEWFAQ
[16:08] <oskar-> hmw:  he installed a ext2 driver ;)
[16:08] <ikonia> oops
[16:08] <Mimi> Question: Is there a media player that can, or has a plugin, to let me change pitch and/or tempo of my songs? (No, not like audacity)
[16:08] <NEWK> Yeah, I installed the driver
[16:08] <philippe_> Hi. I am tring some ascii code (alt+..) but it is not working. Is it normal? What can I do to make them working?
[16:08] <oskar-> NEWK: is it perhaps an encrypted file system?
[16:08] <NEWK> I don't think so
[16:09] <NEWK> I'll try one of the other programs
[16:09] <hmw> NEWK: i used Ext2IFS_1_10c.exe successfully, what did you use?
[16:09] <cdavis_> I have never used a docking station with Ubuntu before, what should I be looking at to configure it to display correctly to my external monitor when docked?
[16:10] <NEWK> That's the file I used
[16:10] <hmw> you need to assign a drive letter in the control panel, did you do that?
[16:10] <NEWK> yes
[16:10] <NEWK> when I try to click on that drive in my computer, it says it's not formatted
[16:10] <NEWK> then it asks me to format it
[16:10] <oskar-> i want to run windows in a virtual machine under linux. which virtualization solution for linux can you recommend?
[16:11] <NEWK> it's almost as if it's not an ext2 partition!
[16:11] <philippe_> oskar-, VirtualBox work great for me
[16:11] <hmw> oskar: i just installed virtual box and i am happy
[16:11] <bazhang> oskar-, vbox or vmware
[16:11] <fde> oskar-: depends, does your CPU have virtualization extensions?
[16:11] <aremax> hello..
[16:11] <andre_pl> rvsjoen: i tried changing that setting, still got the same error, i'm trying the "normal" way to compile/install a kernel
[16:11] <hmw> oskar: google "ubunto virtualbox" first and find a good tutorial
[16:11] <Pici> !vbox | oskar-
[16:11] <hmw> oskar: ubuntu of course
[16:11] <oskar-> fde:  no, none i know of. it is a quite old athlon xp
[16:11] <fde> VirtualBox doesn't use virtualization extensions
[16:12] <aremax> hai..I'm linux's newbie... from Indonesia...
[16:12] <bazhang> hmw, dont need to recommend google here
[16:12] <oskar-> ok, thank you
[16:12] <fde> oskar-: then probably VirtualBox yes
[16:12] <bazhang> hmw, we can answer those questions
[16:12] <bazhang> hmw, either here or in #vbox
[16:12] <aremax> may I ask all linux master hre..?
[16:12] <hmw> bazhang: simply installing it just consumes time, until you find out, that it isnt that straight forward
[16:12] <yunustj> hi, what is the name of cli program that I can use to verify burned ubuntu 8.10 cd?
[16:13] <fde> !ask > aremax
[16:13] <bazhang> hmw, you are discussing windows drivers? please take to ##windows
[16:13] <hmw> bazhang: no??
[16:13] <fde> bazhang: its a driver for ext2
[16:13] <aremax> thx ubottu
[16:13] <oobe> i would just like to say i often see people ask questions that they really should be using google for
[16:13] <oobe> so go use google you retards
[16:13] <NEWK> I'm trying a different program now
[16:13] <HeisSpiter|Lap> Hi
[16:13] <bazhang> oobe, please keep it civil
[16:14] <UnknownUser56> !language | oobe
[16:14] <oobe> that was civil trust me
[16:14] <NEWK> This other program doesn't recognize it either!
[16:14] <NEWK> It just says that the filesystem is "Linux native"
[16:14] <hmw> NEWK: if youre sure, that your drive is sane, and that the partition is, too, then it is really, really strange
[16:14] <bazhang> NEWK, this is from windows or from ubuntu
[16:14] <ksbalaji> Mine Hardy. Installed firestarter. Now, Firefox does not have history and the bookmarks are gone.
[16:15] <lorenzosu> I installed ubuntu 8.10 on a hp laptop with wubi. It has an ATI graphics card and every time I reboot/shutdown/log out it freezes
[16:15] <NEWK> This is in Windows
[16:15] <sin> ???
[16:15] <NEWK> trying to access my Ubuntu partition
[16:15] <benoka> I'm trying to install gnokii but it seems to be extremely complicated - isn't there a way to click once on install and then it does the whole thing? do I really have to install all little components one by one?
[16:15] <NEWK> and it's 8.10, by the way
[16:15] <NEWK> if that matters
[16:15] <mithraic> I can't seem to restore my ubuntu splash at startup :(
[16:15] <mithraic> Problem: My shutdown splash is ubuntu. My startup splash is still kubuntu.
[16:15] <bazhang> NEWK, you are trying to share files and folders between ubuntu and windows?
[16:16] <ekrres> ?
[16:16] <mithraic> Attempted: I ran sudo update-alternatives --config uplash-artwork.so
[16:16] <NEWK> No, I'm trying yo access my ubuntu partition
[16:16] <mithraic> Result: As above. Boo-hoo.
[16:16] <NEWK> *to
[16:16] <mithraic> Any other suggestions?
[16:16] <hmw> NEWK: boot into ubuntu and access your windows
[16:16] <NEWK> why?
[16:16] <Pici> NEWK: If you're using windows currently and trying to install a driver to access your ext3 paritions, then this is a topic for ##windows, not #ubuntu
[16:17] <fde> mithraic: remove kubuntu-usplash-theme (aptitude search kubuntu if that's the wrong name) and reinstall ubuntu-usplash-theme (again check package name, I'm not 100%)
[16:17] <NEWK> That's not what I want to do
[16:17] <Fougner> hey, is there a way to display realtime network activity in terminal?
[16:17] <bazhang> mithraic, you seem to have missed the last part of the command
[16:17] <hmw> NEWK: because its more reliable
[16:17] <fde> Pici: you really think ##windows will assist him?  :/
[16:17] <Pici> fde: Yes.
[16:17] <mithraic> fde, thanks
[16:17] <NEWK> But, that's not what I want to do
[16:17] <Pici> fde: Its offtopic here anyway.
[16:17] <NEWK> alright, I give up
[16:17] <NEWK> thanks for your help
[16:17] <fde> Pici: they will laugh at him
[16:17] <ksbalaji>  Installed firestarter firewall. Now, Firefox does not show history and the bookmarks are gone! Also I am unable to restore bookmarks.
[16:17] <Pici> fde: Why?
[16:17] <bazhang> fde its offtopic here.
[16:18] <fde> Pici: he is trying to figure out why Ubuntu won't let him access its partition from Windows... how is it offtopic?
[16:18] <hmw> NEWK: is the partition still good? can you boot it?
[16:19] <oskar-> ksbalaji:  this seems unrelated to me...
[16:19] <benoka> when I download a packed file, how do I start the commands in that file? do I have to extract first somewhere? and after?
[16:19] <bazhang> !usplash | mithraic
[16:19] <ompaul> fde, is it not obvious, the software he wants to run is on windows to access ....... ext3 .... you would not expect a windows channel to support something like reading ntfs from a gnu/linux system
[16:20] <hmw> benoka: always extract the stuff before running it
[16:20] <bazhang> mithraic, you seem to only have done the first part of that command
[16:20] <mithraic> I see, thanks bazhang
[16:20] <bazhang> benoka, what file and what are you trying to do
[16:21] <mithraic> While I'm kvetching: In gnome save panels, when I begin typing it seems to change the filetype filter, rather than the filename.
[16:21] <mithraic> Is that just the way it is, or am I misconfigured someplace?
[16:21] <bazhang> mithraic, the highlighted section?
[16:22] <fde> ompaul: try getting help from ##windows sometime, and you'll see my issue with that response... people in here are more likely to be experienced with it anyways
[16:22] <ksbalaji> oskar-, pardon? - I said that after installing firestarter firewall in Hardy, my firefox does not show my bookmarks. Nor does it show the history. Can you help?
[16:22] <ompaul> fde, not our problem
 fde, is it not obvious, the software he wants to run is on windows to access ....... ext3 .... you would not expect a windows channel to support something like reading ntfs from a gnu/linux system <-- Actually, we do.
[16:23] <mithraic> ok, suddenly i can't reproduce. ain't that the way. i'll go back to my corner.
[16:23] <DarkKnight> hey wats the best distro
[16:23] <fde> ompaul: I thought Ubuntu cared about support, no matter the issue, provided it is related to Ubuntu?
[16:23] <ompaul> MacGyverNL, ehh read my comment again - ntfs reading using ubuntu is in factoids here
[16:23] <bazhang> benoka, please keep it in channel
[16:23] <benoka> bazhang, ok
[16:23] <benoka> it's just too many things at a time
[16:24] <oskar-> ksbalaji: yes, i understand. but i see no relation between installing a firewall configuration tool and disappeared bookmarks... maybe a random coincidence?
[16:24] <fde> DarkKnight: you're asking #ubuntu so that is a flawed question... people in ##linux would likely recommend Ubuntu too though if you're a beginner
[16:24] <bazhang> benoka, just type my name and me yours and itll be fine
[16:24] <ompaul> fde, not windows support and it is not related to that, if that were the case using a mainframe and SAS software to export cvs files to your ubuntu platter would be of concern here, and it is not
[16:24] <dlew> Has anyone else failed to get the most recent updates, because of a "size mismatch"?  http://pastie.org/319713
[16:24] <benoka> bazhang, I'm trying to install gnokii from downloaded from here: http://gnokii.org/download/gnokii/
[16:24] <bazhang> benoka, what does gnokii do
[16:24] <regeya> oh yikes
[16:24] <regeya> what's the best car DarkKnight?
[16:24] <ompaul> fde, if you want to discuss this further I suggest we do so in #ubuntu-offtopic
[16:25] <ompaul> !offtopic | regeya
[16:25] <benoka> bazhang, it's an application for communication with mobile phones, mainly nokia
[16:25] <oskar-> DarkKnight: of course, gentoo is the best distribution ;-) *duck*
[16:25] <fde> ompaul: its cool... I guess I got the wrong idea about Ubuntu... guess I should direct Wubi issues to ##windows too, my mistake
[16:25] <bazhang> benoka, install from repos
[16:25] <hmw> oskar: ever tried linux from scratch? *g*
[16:25] <ksbalaji> oskar-, I feel that it is because of firestarter. Can I restore the  bookmarks?
[16:25] <bazhang> !info gnokii | benoka
[16:25] <benoka> bazhang, what is repos?
[16:25] <DarkKnight> fde, oskar-; i m using ubuntu; but my peers have installed debian on college systems and people were dissatisfied. I am given the task to install the whole lab with the best OS not necessarily ubuntu...
[16:25] <ompaul> fde, not the same issue and I think you know that
[16:26] <regeya> plus, the point I'm getting at DarkKnight, is that "best" is dependent upon what you need.  For some people, Ubuntu is the best...oh c'mon, ompaul, let's not educate people by example...
[16:26] <bazhang> benoka, sudo apt-get install gnokii
[16:26] <fde> ompaul: I think its very related... its a Windows application. He wants to access Ubuntu from his Linux partition.
[16:26] <oskar-> hmw: i wanted to, had started, but then had not enough time
[16:26] <Neconide> Sigh.....................
[16:26] <bazhang> fde, please stop.
[16:26] <Neconide> Can anyone help me out with getting ndiswrapper installed on 8.04?
[16:26] <ompaul> fde, not the same thing - please talk in -ot about this, I promise to be entertaining
[16:26] <DarkKnight> regaya; read my above statement
[16:27] <Neconide> $ sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper-common, ndiswrapper-modules-1.9, ndisgtk doesn't work
[16:27] <MacGyverNL> ompaul: Yes, but if you ask that question in ##Windows, we do answer. That's what I meant. It was also directed at fde's "they will laugh at him."
[16:27] <MacGyverNL> ompaul: Apologies for the confusion.
[16:27] <regeya> ...for some people, while for others no form of *n?x will work.  Come up with a list of your needs, and start looking up various distributions to see what their strengths/weaknesses are DarkKnight...and based on ompaul's response, no need to scroll back, the conversation is over.
[16:27] <dmsuperman> We're a bit off the topic of support...
[16:27] <oskar-> DarkKnight:  you have to know what you want, and then look, which fits best. there is no single scale like goodness
[16:28] <ksbalaji> oskar-, I believe because this happened immediately after installing firestarter. FF3 behaves strangely.
[16:28] <arpi> Hi, I`ve installed 8.10 on a vaio laptop with wupi, strangly DVD playback and rhythmbox and Totem visualisation with skype picture is all jerky while flash movies play all right. Can you help me please?
[16:28] <muhamad> palu
[16:28] <benoka> bazhang, ok, thank you, I'll try - on the other hand, I started to install some components already upon installation instructions manually, what do I do to them? how do I find them back...? :( or I should just forget about them...
[16:28] <bazhang> benoka, the ubuntu software repositories; always look there first
[16:28] <muhamad> muhamad
[16:28] <paule_> arpi, what are you using to play dvds?
[16:28] <bazhang> muhamad, this is ubuntu support do you have a support question
[16:29] <ksbalaji> oskar-, also FF3 address panel looks strange without http: !
[16:29] <bazhang> !info gnokii
[16:29] <arpi> VLC Mplayer Totem
[16:29] <bazhang> ubottu lag
[16:29] <Neconide> Can anyone help me install ndiswrapper? I'm trying to get some drivers to work but: sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper-common, ndiswrapper-modules-1.9, ndisgtk Doesn't work, it doens't find any of the packages.
[16:30] <crweb> what package owns the default ubuntu background and how does it set it to default?
[16:30] <oskar-> ksbalaji: i suggest to make a backup copy of your firefox profile directory (~/.mozilla/firefox). then you can try to look into it and see, if you can repair it. i do not know enough about it, sorry...
[16:30] <bazhang> benoka, how far along did you get with the installation
[16:30] <DarkKnight> oskar, regaya; well th the tools we might as well use are UML , C, C++, DBMS, flash, java  and the systems are client server......so the client-server which we setup must also not give problems.....the thing is dat everybody is a newbie to linux at my college, so I am supposed to easy to use, learn and implement OS
[16:30] <Neconide> Anyone? :\
[16:31] <bazhang> DarkKnight, please join #ubuntu-offtopic
[16:31] <benoka> bazhang, so I should actually not download stuff from the internet but try and get them from the ubuntu software repositories? how do i find that?
[16:31] <squarebracket> where are the kernel drivers kept?
[16:31] <ksbalaji> oskar-, anyway thanks for your interest. I shall try repairing.
[16:31] <bazhang> benoka, from synaptic package manager, add/remove, or the command line apt-get (apt-cache search to search)
[16:31] <vinnie> ...
[16:31] <paule_> arpi, are you using proprietary video card drivers?
[16:32] <DarkKnight> benoka; system--->Administration---> Synaptic Package Managaer
[16:32] <benoka> bazhang, the command finished
[16:32] <peleg> Do you have any idea what can block my C-something key-bindings from working in LyX? It's an old-old problem here, but I can't find any clue on the net
[16:32] <bazhang> benoka, was it installed successfully?
[16:32] <arpi> yes I use proprietary drives.
[16:32] <vinnie> what does HAL failed to initialized actually mean??
[16:32] <peleg> M-something works great (M = Alt key, C = Ctrl key)
[16:32] <Neconide> Can someone help me install ndiswrapper on 8.04 I'm having a lot of trouble, I'm not sure if I'm using the right command ($ sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper-common, ndiswrapper-modules-1.9, ndisgtk) but it doesn't recognize the packages.
[16:33] <hmw> peleg: your lynx as it came, or did you tweak it?
[16:33] <alex|xela> is it possible it in anyway to create softare raid 0 on ubuntu 8.04 while the server is online? ive just noticed my 2 x 320 gb drives are not raided - using mdadm?
[16:33] <benoka> bazhang, seems to be the case, but I don't know where can I find it
[16:33] <peleg> hmw: LyX, not lynx
[16:33] <paule_> arpi, maybe try using xbmc, which used 3d accel, also you might try disabling that driver and seeing if it fixes vlc
[16:33] <Try_Hard_Go_Pro> Neconide: try typing the same just ithout ,
[16:33] <peleg> hmw: and I did not tweak it
[16:33] <hmw> peleg: oops. sorry *g*
[16:33] <alex|xela> #
[16:33] <alex|xela> all the data is being stored on sda1, anyway i can just attach sdb1 onto it easily?
[16:33] <paule_> arpi, have you searched the forums to see if other people had problems with your laptop?
[16:34] <peleg> hmw: does that mean you don't have an idea?
[16:34] <hmw> peleg: sorry, no. i dont even know LyX :(
[16:34] <benoka> bazhang, ok i found it az xgnokii
[16:34] <peleg> thanks!
[16:34] <bazhang> benoka, nice
[16:34] <benoka> bazhang, as far as I know that's an extension to gnokii
[16:35] <bazhang> benoka, yep
[16:35] <OxDeadC0de> anyone know of a nice ui designer app for pytcl/tk ?
[16:35] <OxDeadC0de> I know it's better to code them but I'm on a deadline
[16:35] <Neconide> Try_Hard_Go_Pro: it still recognizes it as a seperation point because it doesnt say "cannot find package ndiswrapper-common,"
[16:35] <Neconide> I've tried to install them all seperately but it can't find them.
[16:36] <Try_Hard_Go_Pro> do you type $ infront of sudo
[16:36] <arpi> Yes I didn`t find anybody with similar problems.
[16:36] <Neconide> I might want to note I'm dual booting vista and ubuntu, and the fact that WUSB600N isn't ubuntu-friendly is the only reason I can talk to you right now from vista.
[16:36] <Try_Hard_Go_Pro> cause you shouldn't
[16:36] <benoka> bazhang, connecting but not really doing anything...
[16:36] <Neconide> Try_Hard_Go_Pro: no, I didn't.
[16:36] <paule_> !who | arpi
[16:36] <emilien> need help making a video of my desktop under ubuntu any suggestions on programs?
[16:37] <Try_Hard_Go_Pro> why don't you just try finding the packages in add/remove
[16:37] <bazhang> !screencast | emilien
[16:37] <fde> emilien: istanbul
[16:37] <arpi> Ok I was addressing paule_
[16:37] <emilien> ok thanks
[16:38] <paule_> arpi, does vlc play any video files without lagging?
[16:38] <Neconide> Try_Hard_Go_Pro they're not there.
[16:38] <progex> who am I?
[16:38] <Neconide> I think I just got a bummed ass ubuntu install.
[16:38] <alex|xela> is it possible it in anyway to create softare raid 0 on ubuntu 8.04 while the server is online? ive just noticed my 2 x 320 gb drives are not raided - using mdadm? all the data is being stored on sda1, anyway i can just attach sdb1 onto it easily?
[16:38] <alex|xela> sorry raid 1
[16:38] <hmw> Neconide: maybe switching to the main servers might help?
[16:39] <arpi> paule_ Vlc is not lagging system resources are not used extensively
[16:39] <hmw> arpi: did you try another DVD?
[16:39] <Neconide> hmw: I can't connect to the internet because of my god damn WUSB600N and I need to install ndiswrapper to get it to work... I know usually WUSB600N isn't very friendly with ndiswrapper but I have a few tricks up my sleeve.
[16:40] <benoka> bazhang, it's not doing anything... :(
[16:40] <arpi> paule_Yes it is the same with all
[16:40] <Try_Hard_Go_Pro> neconide: well i installed it succesfully
[16:40] <hmw> propain: frank?
[16:40] <paule_> arpi, so the the problem is only with dvds?
[16:41] <Neconide> Try_Hard_Go_Pro: That doesn't really help me :\
[16:41] <trinhvantu> hiiiii
[16:41] <Neconide> hi.
[16:41] <benoka> ubuntu only recognizes my laptop's built-in wireless card, not the external wireless USB adapter, what can I do?
[16:41] <Try_Hard_Go_Pro> neconide: hmm what does it says you exactly
[16:42] <arpi> Paule_No ,I get similar jerky visualisations in music players and my skype picture is also jerky.
[16:42] <Neconide> Try_Hard_Go_Pro: "Could Not Find Package ndiswrapper-common" or ndiswrapper-modules-1.9 or anything else
[16:43] <hmw> arpi: exlpain jerke a little more detailed, please
[16:43] <Neconide> Try_Hard_Go_Pro: and yes I've tried to install them all seperately.

[16:45] <arpi> Paule_ OK, I get the movie, visualisation, skype playing but in approx. every 2 seconds the picture turns black for a flash then it comes back.
[16:45] <Buster_Hymen> what's the status of office2007 under wine? I'm getting conflicting reports all over google.  Can i just run the installer under wine with no tweaking?
[16:45] <benoka> hello all, ubuntu only recognizes my laptop's built-in wireless card, not the external wireless USB adapter, what can I do?
[16:45] <paule_> arpi, sounds video card related, try disabling the proprietary driver and see if that fixes the problem
[16:46] <alex|xela> is it possible it in anyway to create softare raid 1 while the server is booted, without using the livecd etc? ive just noticed my 2 x 320 gb drives are not raided .. should i use mdadm? all the data is being stored on sda1, anyway i can just attach sdb1 onto it easily? and raid 1 it?
[16:46] <arpi> Paule_ Idid that, without good results.
[16:46] <Rainarrow> Hello, what's the difference between acpi-cpufreq and speedstep-centrino? is it true that the latter one is now obsolete? I googled with the two names but seems can't reach a clear conclusion.
[16:46] <vinnie> hi why does my dvdrw unable to read all dvd .it happen soon after akernek upgrade
[16:46] <paule_> arpi, was it the same problem or different then
[16:47] <Try_Hard_Go_Pro> neconide: try addind these lines int /etc/apt/sources.list
[16:47] <Try_Hard_Go_Pro> neconide: deb http://bg.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ intrepid universe
[16:47] <Try_Hard_Go_Pro> deb http://bg.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ intrepid-updates universe
[16:47] <arpi> Paule_ It was exactly the same.
[16:47] <oskar-> vinnie: is it unable to read the dvd at all or only unable to play movies?
[16:47] <phrostbite> I have a samsung mp3 player and it for some reason does not wanna show up like other mp3 players. Does anybody have a suggestion as to why this might be happening?
[16:48] <Buster_Hymen> benoka:  did you check to see if that adapter was supported?
[16:48] <drindt> i freshly installed ubuntu server edition 8.0.4 lts and want now installing syscp via apt-get install syscp but it doesnt install no output is given what can i do?
[16:48] <paule_> arpi, hmm weird not sure then, try posting details on the forum, probably someone else with the same hardware has run into the issue before, and keep asking here
[16:48] <vinnie> oskar; its unable to read all but i was ablw to write dvds
[16:48] <fXsTar> hy all!i have a problem with my ubuntu connection!i have a server
[16:48] <fXsTar>           behind a router ..and the maxim speed trough is 1 MB/s upload and
[16:48] <fXsTar>           download!
[16:48] <benoka> Buster_Hymen, where can I check that?
[16:48] <arpi> Thanks, Paule_
[16:48] <vinnie> oskar : i even tried with dmesg|tail
[16:49] <Buster_Hymen> it's on the ubuntu help pages somewhere. give me a second, i'll try to locate it for you
[16:49] <Pici> drindt: Because syscp is not a valid package name
[16:49] <drindt> Pici: in the previous install this is working, iam confused
[16:49] <oskar-> vinnie:  is it recognized at boot time?  try to mount dvds manually
[16:49] <fXsTar> anyone?
[16:49] <Buster_Hymen> benoka:  you'll have to find the chipset make of your adapter... the list is not by brand name
[16:49] <progex> alex I installed pclinuxos gnome on two drives in raid0 software raid that is its easy after you have done it once its a matter of make both drives Lvm then partitioning them
[16:49] <oskar-> vinnie:  maybe then you get error messages that help further
[16:49] <Buster_Hymen> so look carefully on the box and on the adapter
[16:50] <greg_> anyone know about setting my ubuntu box up as a PPTP server?
[16:50] <vinnie> oskar : i tried ,it do recognise som but unable to mount neither dvd nor csd
[16:50] <Pici> drindt: I don't see it listed as a valid package name in any supported release.

[16:50] <Nhorning> Hey there
[16:50] <Nhorning> how do I get my web cam working?
[16:50] <vinnie> oskar: it happned after a kernel update
[16:51] <temppy> !webcam > Nhorning
[16:51] <Nhorning> I've got a genius slip 1320
[16:52] <egoflux> how can i change how long it takes for the display to dim?
[16:52] <phrostbite> Grr this is aggravating. Do I need drivers or something if a mp3 player does not wanna connect?
[16:52] <flaco> non ubuntu question... when I install a program from the source... (make install) how can uninstall the program?
[16:52] <egoflux> in the power management tools there's only an option to dim when idle but u can't control how long that is...
[16:53] <greg_> phrostbits - does it show up when you type lsusb into terminal?
[16:53] <sedi-d> hey guys i was wondering if anyone can help me install automatix2
[16:53] <c369> hey, what is the gnome tool called to conifgure networkmanager? the gui thingy
[16:53] <temppy> !checkinstall > flaco
[16:53] <Neconide> No dice.
[16:53] <phrostbite> Let me check Greg
[16:53] <temppy> flaco: also, sometimes, there is a make uninstall command
[16:53] <Neconide> Apparently I need an internet connection to install ndiswrapper.....,
[16:53] <hmw> flaco: if youre lucky, the package provides uninstall... try make uninstall or make --help
[16:53] <sedi-d> i looked up a few ways of doing it an i just cant seem to get it to work
[16:53] <linuxcrypt> System > preferences > Power Management
[16:53] <temppy> Neconide: ndiswrapper is usually on the install cd
[16:53] <vinnie> oskar:HAL failed to intialise exactly mean ,som times i get it som times i dont after loggin into Gnome
[16:54] <egoflux> linuxcrypt: i know, but it doesn't allow me to change how long it takes for the dispaly to be considered idle...
[16:54] <sedi-d> lol anyone?:D
[16:54] <Neconide> temppy: Well I don't know, it isn't.
[16:54] <phrostbite> Greg_ Yes it shows up in there
[16:54] <egoflux> it just has a little check
[16:54] <linuxcrypt> yes
[16:54] <flaco> temppy, hmw: thks, that works
[16:54] <linuxcrypt> click on the "On Battery Tab"
[16:54] <bazhang> sedi-d, dont use automatix
[16:54] <linuxcrypt> uncheck the box for "reduce backlight brightness"
[16:54] <temppy> Neconide: are you sure? I have always found it there
[16:54] <paul68> hi I have been running through this howto https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo#Configuration%20on%20startup  however when I try to launch it then nothing is happening no error message nothing
[16:54] <sedi-d> ok then what should i use?
[16:54] <Neconide> temppy: yes I am sure
[16:55] <bazhang> sedi-d, it will require a full reinstall and you will not be supported here
[16:55] <paul68> how do I solve this
[16:55] <hmw> flaco: next time you could use chroot
[16:55] <temppy> Neconide: what cd are you using?
[16:55] <bazhang> sedi-d, ubuntu-restricted-extras
[16:55] <sedi-d> okkk then
[16:55] <sedi-d> thanks
[16:55] <Neconide> temppy: one I burned myself (obviously) ubuntu 8.04
[16:55] <phrostbite> When I type that lsusb it shows up in the list. so what should i do from there
[16:56] <temppy> Neconide: live cd? or alternate?
[16:56] <greg_> phrostbite: what kind of mp3 player?
[16:56] <phrostbite> samsung
[16:56] <Neconide> temppy: live cd meaning?
[16:56] <histo> !msg ubottu resolution
[16:57] <temppy> Neconide: well, regardless, if you have some other media, you can just get the packages straight from repositories.  You need ndiswrapper-utils and ndiswrapper-common
[16:57] <ohubuntu> where could i change the power settings, like disabling standby and the monitor turning off?
[16:57] <Neconide> temppy: what about ndiswrapper-modules-1.9?
[16:58] <paul68> hi I have been running through this howto https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo#Configuration%20on%20startup  however when I try to launch it then nothing is happening no error message nothing   how do I solve this   I also don't get any visual indications on the server that the script is running or being applied
[16:58] <macpo3> arggh I'm going mad .... what do I need to add to ~/.bashrc to create the HTML_TIDY environment variable and set it to /home/fred/tidy.conf
[16:58] <sambagirl> join #linux
[16:58] <sambagirl> morning
[16:58] <sambagirl> i received my erack server
[16:58] <sambagirl> my plan was to put ubuntu on it
[16:58] <Dr_willis> macpo3,  '   export VARIABLENAME='whatever'            '
[16:58] <sambagirl> brb
[16:59] <Dr_willis> macpo3,  of course that will only affect new shells...
[16:59] <egoflux> linuxcrypt: thanx...
[16:59] <greg_> anyone help m set up PPTP to allow me to vpn into my ubuntu box?
[16:59] <temppy> Neconide: I don't know.  Never heard of that package. http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=hardy&section=all&arch=any&searchon=names&keywords=ndiswrapper
[17:00] <hagna> how do I find out what is locking up the sound dev on ubuntu ibex I get this error audio_alsa_sink[hw:0,0]: Device or resource busy
[17:00] <sambagirl> from what i can gather, if you have an erack server, you have to remove the hdd and install on another system and then replace the drive back into the rack server?
[17:00] <macpo3> yes, so I do that and open a new terminal window, and it processes the ~/.bashrc (echo '~/.bashrc') but when I type env in the new terminal window, the variable isn't there
[17:00] <Neconide> temppy: Can't I just go to ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net o_o
[17:01] <mithraic> Has anyone else encountered this error when saving, from gedit, to a samba mount?
[17:01] <eventi> how can I allow a normal user to ping without sudo
[17:01] <mithraic> Problem: Saving within gedit to an existing file on a samba mount yields error "text file busy"
[17:02] <Dr_willis> eventi,  a normal user can ping here without sudi
[17:02] <mithraic> Details: Saving a new file doesn't have the problem. Saving with other editors (kate, gvim, etc.) doesn't have the problem.
[17:02] <shubbar> which drivers do i need for Nvidia Geforce 6200 ?
[17:02] <Neconide> temppy: alright now I think I can manage to install it, if I have any trouble I'll come bother you some more. :)
[17:02] <temppy> Neconide: that way, I would expect to be much harder.  If you have the know how to go that route, then why ask here?  Getting it from the repos is much simpler
[17:02] <fosco__> shubbar, 177
[17:02] <mithraic> Can anyone reproduce? Anybody out there got a samba mount up, and mind trying to save a text file?
[17:02] <temppy> Neconide: sure thing : )
[17:02] <eventi> ubuntu 8.10 gets ping: icmp open socket: Operation not permitted
[17:03] <eventi> Dr_willis: ubuntu 8.10 gets ping: icmp open socket: Operation not permitted
[17:03] <shubbar> fosco__, "This driver is activated but not in use" why do i get this message for 177?
[17:03] <paul68> hi I have been running through this howto https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo#Configuration%20on%20startup  however when I try to launch it then nothing is happening no error message nothing   how do I solve this   I also don't get any visual indications on the server that the script is running or being rejected
[17:03] <Dr_willis> eventi,  using ubuntu 8.10 64bit here.. and it works.
[17:03] <eventi> hmmm
[17:03] <eventi> actually using ubuntu-eee
[17:04] <Dr_willis> eventi,  try    ls -l /bin/ping
[17:04] <Dr_willis> -rwsr-xr-x 1 root root 33168 2007-12-10 14:03 /bin/ping
[17:04] <fosco__> shubbar, not sure, make a backup of your xorg.conf and run sudo nvidia-xconfig
[17:04] <maple1> YES WE CAN
[17:04] <Dr_willis> eventi,  note the 's' - it seems ping is set 'suid' here
[17:04] <eventi> not for me
[17:04] <LjjjL> eventi: Ubuntu-Eee is not a supported version of Ubuntu
[17:04] <eventi> ok - I can fix that
[17:04] <c369> when I have changed my xorg.conf do I have to reboot or does it suffice to log out in order for the changes to take place?
[17:04] <LjjjL> eventi: anyway, i know that the problem is due to a bug that makes /bin/ping not suid root
[17:04] <LjjjL> eventi: so it can be fixed by making it suid root.
[17:04] <sambagirl> i received my erack server and i am perplexed with it. i actually did not realize that you have almost an ignorant bios for these things. so if i understand stuff correctly, i have to first remove the hdd and then put the removed hdd into another system and then install what i want on that hdd via the other system and then remove the hdd and then put it back into the erack server bay and then i can work with what i want then?
[17:05] <Dr_willis> I though the ping not being suid - was not a 'bug' but a 'security feature' :)
[17:05] <eventi> thanks guys - worked perfectly
[17:05] <LjjjL> Dr_willis: well, it's not that way in standard Ubuntu at any arte
[17:05] <Dr_willis> LjjjL,  yep..  seen other disrtos with ping not being suid
[17:06] <Gnea> sambagirl: erack?
[17:06] <paul68> can somebody help me with my question posted above
[17:06] <sambagirl> gnea yes eRack
[17:06] <sambagirl> www.eracks.com
[17:06]  * Gnea checks it
[17:06] <docelic> Hey folks, I got the Ubuntu LiveCD, but I don't see how to run ubuntu from it instead of installing on the disk? The ubuntu screen that shows up after boot is showing me install-related options and not livecd...
[17:06] <sivaji> my mobile memory card has been locked and it can be mounted here my dmesg output http://pastebin.com/f37a502fe
[17:07] <sivaji> cannot be mounted*
[17:07] <sambagirl> it has this setup but not a real bios like what i expected to select boot order etc.
[17:07] <sambagirl> so i cant install iubuntu server it came with centos 4.1 which means nada to me.
[17:07] <paule_> !repeate | paul68
[17:07] <Gnea> never used one before... it doesn't have a cdrom drive?
[17:07] <paule_> !repeat | paul68
[17:07] <sambagirl> no i put one on it tho but maybe that cdrom is bad possibly. i dunno.
[17:08] <sambagirl> oh well.
[17:08] <sambagirl> bbiab let me check something.
[17:08] <J3ff> !patience
[17:08] <paul68> paule_: I know the rules very well thank you and I am following a howto but it doesn't seem to work
[17:08] <linuxcrypt> egoflux: no problemo
[17:09] <Shish_> got a couple of questions.. bear with me.. thanks in advance! lol...  when i start up ubuntu, and change the brightness level on the desktop, the keyboard will "deactivate" -- forcing me to restart and then be able to use the keyboard.. lol, help!!
[17:09] <c369> does anybody know, why <Option "VertScrollDelta" "0"> in xorg.conf does not deactivate the vertical scrolling of my synaptic touchpad?
[17:10] <pronoy> how do i fix this problem of sound input in ubuntu hardy ?
[17:10] <pronoy> how do i fix this problem of sound input in ubuntu hardy ?
[17:10] <sivaji> my mobile memory card has been locked and it cannot  be mounted here dmesg output http://pastebin.com/f37a502fe
[17:11] <qwertzuk> http://www.unsere-nackte-pyjamaparty.net/?id=7118064
[17:11] <tomaw> qwertzuk: please don't spam those links on freenode
[17:11] <LjjjL> c369: what does "synclient -l | grep VertScroll" say?
[17:11] <Dr_willis> sivaji,  i wonder if its using some nonstandard filesystem. Ive no idea how one locks a 'sd' card.
[17:11] <Marfi> quick question, for the ubuntu 8.10 x86 disk, whats the default password?
[17:12] <Marfi> Dr_willis, most SD cards are in fat32
[17:12] <mithraic> Is anyone aware of a utility giving keyboard shortcuts to resize a window? Not maximize/minimize, but resize (e.g. tile to left half of screen, etc.)
[17:12] <mithraic> This under compiz/gtk
[17:13] <oskar-> mithraic:  alt+f8 for me... (?)
[17:13] <ne2k__> mithraic: there was a wm I used to use that did all of that sort of stuff with the keyboard, can't remember what it was called, though
[17:13] <lucax> big issues with compix and xserver-intel... any other drivers i can use instead of this ones?
[17:13] <sivaji> Dr_willis, actually it was working file i copied some file from hd to mobile card after that its locked not accessible
[17:13] <paule_> Marfi, the password is user-set
[17:13] <c369> LjjjL, Can't access shared memory area. SHMConfig disabled?
[17:14] <pronoy> how do i solve the sound input problem ??
[17:14] <sivaji> paule_, i didnt set any password
[17:14] <Marfi> is it "user-set" or the user sets the pass paule_ ?
[17:14] <LjjjL> c369: oh, then i recommend you put Option "SHMConfig" "on" in your Synaptics InputDevice section
[17:14] <Dr_willis> sivaji,  from what i see in the pastebin - theres some sort of read/write error...
[17:15] <c369> aight, thanks, LjjjL :)
[17:15] <Dr_willis> sivaji,  thats proberly not a good sign. :(
[17:15] <sivaji> Dr_willis, is there any way to fix it ?
[17:15] <paule_> sivaji, did it let you use a blank password?
[17:16] <LjjjL> c369: that will likely not solve the problem, but will allow you to use synclient to change and look at the settings on the fly, which is nice
[17:16] <alex_> hi
[17:16] <paule_> Marfi, the user sets the password during installation
[17:16] <phrostbite> I have a samsung mp3 player and it does not want to show up as connected. I was told to download gparted. Now what do i need to do?
[17:16] <Shish_> keyboard deactivates when i change brightness level on desktop... how can i fix this? besides not changing brightness level! lol...
[17:16] <alex_> ??
[17:16] <Dr_willis> sivaji,  no idea..  perhaps backup all data.. (some how?) and reformat the card..
[17:16] <Q-FUNK> howdy!  since a couple of days, Firefox started to open into full-screen mode by default, on both intrepid and jaunty.  is there any known cure?
[17:16] <alex_> wahts this?
[17:16] <OceanX> lead injection
[17:16] <alex_> whats this?
[17:16] <Marfi> paule_, i know that. i use a live disk for data recovery whenever i have to pull data off of a bum hard drive. i was gone for 15 minutes (past the sudo time) and tried to sudo -i, and i couldn't get in
[17:17] <Neconide> temppy: I'm back to annoy you :D.... could you give me that link again, haha.
[17:17] <vasy> hi
[17:17] <Neconide> hi, vasy.
[17:17] <paule_> Marfi, oh thought you meant an a hard disk install, not the live disk
[17:18] <Marfi> paule_, hehe, np
[17:18] <temppy> Neconide: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=hardy&section=all&arch=any&searchon=names&keywords=ndiswrapper
[17:18] <Neconide> temppy: Thanks <3
[17:19] <pronoy> hey !! little help with the sound input please ......really appreciate it ?
[17:19] <reqqit> is it a known issue that when a laptop powersaves the screen in a fullscreen app it sometimes doesn't come back?
[17:19] <Marfi> whats the problem pronoy ?
[17:20] <reqqit> I am running something fullscreen, and the powersaving kicked in (stupid &*&&*$& &$*&$) ok it is back now... cool
[17:20] <reqqit> it paused for like 4 minutes, but kicked in on next screen refresh
[17:20] <Neconide> Peaceeeeee.
[17:20] <egoflux> are there any generic type sound equalizers or are they specific to certain sound cards?
[17:20] <reqqit> but damn slow now
[17:20] <histo> reqqit, what are you running fullscreen?
[17:21] <LjjjL> egoflux, generally it's the audio playing programs which (may) come with an equalizer function
[17:21] <vallhalla81> hi there can some one help me connect to my pc using ssh i have it setup but cant connect and am unsure if it is my pc or the one i am trying to connect from
[17:21] <gammy> egoflux: Basically you're out of luck.
[17:21] <hololight> reqqit: nvidia drivers?
[17:21] <paule_> Marfi, hmm this is an interesting question if you have not set the password yet with the live cd
[17:22] <lysium> vallhalla81: what happens if you try to connect with ssh?
[17:22] <histo> vallhalla81, are you trying to connect on the local network or through a router
[17:22] <c369> LjjjL, the line you posted still gives me a VertEdgeScroll of 60, despite the value in my xconf.org; when invoking <synclient VertEdgeScroll=0> I get the result I wanted though - any clue why that could be?
[17:22] <gammy> egoflux: No soundsystem has a program-specific equalizer. Pulseaudio supports a system-wide equalized but it isn't graphical and is somewhat complex to set up
[17:22] <lucax> how can i find out what driver is xorg using?
[17:22] <Marfi> paule_, i've never had to set a password. i just thought that it was interesting in the fact that it wouldn't let me sudo -i from the live disk. =)
[17:22] <gammy> egoflux: Basically, either find a program that has a builtin equalizer, or buy a hardware equalizer. It's sad, pathetic, annoying but that's basically how it is.
[17:22] <limecat> hi, really quick question--im using a USB to Serial converter, how do i find out what device it is in /dev?
[17:23] <pronoy> HELLO !!
[17:23] <LjjjL> c369: err but it's VertScrollDelta not VertEdgeScroll
[17:23] <limecat> it shows up in lsusb and everything...
[17:23] <egoflux> that sux man...
[17:23] <Marfi> hi pronoy
[17:23] <vallhalla81> histo: thrue a router but port is forwarded
[17:23] <paule_> Marfi, it should let you do that after boot, although it might stop working if you logout first
[17:23] <egoflux> anyways...amarok has one so i'm good
[17:23] <gammy> egoflux: On the flipside, no other os has system-wide equalization as far as I know.
[17:23] <histo> vallhalla81, are you getting an error or anything?
[17:23] <mulle> mulle
[17:23] <Marfi> paule_, thats what i was figuring. ah well, must just be a glitch. =)
[17:23] <loller> can somebody tell me iif in case i now update vmware from 1.0.6 to 1.0.7 will my already installed virtual machine run ?
[17:23] <paule_> Marfi, or set a password for the default ubuntu account
[17:23] <vallhalla81> histo: no just nothing at all
[17:23] <limecat> nvm ^_^
[17:23] <pronoy> Marfi: i meant HELLO !! CAN ANYONE HELP ME types....but anyways.....hi marfi :)
[17:24] <lucax> i need to know what driver is xorg using... how do i do that?
[17:24] <darkhamm> hey people, i share my partition with samba with XBMC, every time i'm try to open some avi new in partition with XBMC, i can't open , i must type a chmod to the file to open it. how can i build an ext3 partition for share everything everytime in everymode?
[17:24] <paule_> Marfi, does sudo -i not work at all with the livecd?
[17:24] <Marfi> pronoy, whats the problem? working on a computer atm
[17:24] <arpi> Paule_ It was proprietary driver problem I just forgot to restart my computer disabling it. Ok so can I make this proprietary driver work properly?
[17:24] <reqqit> histo, urban terror :p hololight : erm, I am running this on an Acer Aspire ONE :p (ubuntu 8.10, 1.5gb ram)
[17:24] <Marfi> paule_, it does, but after 15 minutes it doesn't
[17:24] <histo> vallhalla81, can you ping the machine and also on the machine try running netstat -ta and see if the port is listening
[17:24] <c369> LjjjL, oh funny, so I should have put VertEdgeScroll in my xorg.conf :) so I just confused the variables - thanks!
[17:24] <JFactor> Hello, I am using Hardy with an Hp Pavillion dv9000, I have just recently obtained the new VLC and was wondering if there is a way to get the remote control of the laptop to work with this program.
[17:25] <Marfi> paule_, but as long as i have a rootshell, it can sit forever like that
[17:25] <paule_> Marfi, one way to do that is by setting a password for default account
[17:25] <reqqit> loading the app was LIGHTENING fast, and the menus... but after the screen blackout, everything is dog slow. hrm.
[17:25] <Dr_willis> JFactor,  i got a similer remote.. not tried to use it yet. :)  its possible it works with  that remote software.. but ive not  had time to researchit. (i forget the name of the remote software)
[17:25] <Marfi> paule_, ah, ok. gotcha
[17:25] <harvey> Hi all, I recently upgraded to 8.10 from 8.04 and now VLC and movieplayer doesnt work even though it worked before. I've added every codec there is, been in every tutorial there is and still nothing? What is going on does anyone know ?   And more importantly can anyone point me in the right direction?
[17:26] <pronoy> lucax: you need to do this in your terminal /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[17:26] <paule_> arpi, aha, interesting, well look and see if there are tweaks needed for the proprietary driver, or alternate versions
[17:26] <gammy> harvey: What is the error?
[17:26] <Marfi> harvey, go through synaptic and do a complete remove of both of them, then reinstall. its probably a config file for them somewhere
[17:26] <aoupi> harvey: have you installed ubuntu-restricted-extras?
[17:26] <harvey> yes aoupi
[17:26] <gammy> harvey: WHAT is the error.
[17:26] <hololight> reqqit: I was having a similar problem with nvidia prop. drivers... does switching to a virtual console and then back again help?
[17:26] <harvey> ok marfi thats what i thought, i'll try that
[17:27] <Fende> posible bug on ubuntu-8-10
[17:27] <vallhalla81> histo: yes it is listerning
[17:27] <Fende> start eclipse
[17:27] <Fende> stop eclipse
[17:27] <Fende> run top
[17:27] <Fende> eclipse si runing?
[17:27] <FloodBot1> Fende: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[17:27] <paule_> Marfi, yeah its a bit strange the way the sudo is disabled, but at least it won't log you out of a root shell ;)
[17:27] <Daejeo> hello guys :)
[17:27] <gammy> Solving problems by not learning anything on the way..great.
[17:27] <arpi> Paule_OK thanks again for the help.
[17:27] <harvey> the error is that vlc just shuts down straight away with any file i try to play...
[17:27] <histo> vallhalla81, then it should be answering. just ssh <ip of machine thats listening>  .
[17:27] <aoupi> harvey: try deleting your vlc config files, they are in ~/.config/vlc
[17:27] <paule_> arpi, sure good luck, if you don't care about 3d you could ignore it :)
[17:27] <Marfi> paule_, agreed. and im usually sitting at the computer when im working on it, and start before the 15 min thing
[17:28] <harvey> ok thanks i'll do that
[17:28] <histo> vallhalla81, you can try sudo /etc/init.d/ssh restart on the server to reload ssh daemon perhaps its hung.
[17:28] <JFactor> is that program lirc?
[17:28] <aoupi> harvey: if that doesn't work, run vlc from the terminal, you should get some output that might tell what's wrong
[17:28] <harvey> thanks for this help by the way, would never have thought of that...
[17:28] <paule_> Marfi, if it is not convenient maybe it will be changed in the future
[17:29] <Marfi> paule_, meh, ah well. CD is working fine for me now. =)
[17:29] <nikitis> Hey i need some help installing grub and mapping harddrives.  I have a pretty complex setup.
[17:29] <nikitis> Anyone?
[17:29] <Daejeo> some people are trying to get in box on ssh. http://pastebin.com/m484bf2e4  how can keep them of? can i allow login from certain ips?
[17:29] <Marfi> paule_, or not
[17:29] <Marfi> hmmz
[17:29] <ljuwaidah> hi
[17:29] <ljuwaidah> i did something stupid today
[17:29] <aoupi> Daejeo: an easy way is to change the port you run ssh on
[17:29] <ljuwaidah> i purged some package and it removed like 20 packages in the process
[17:29] <aoupi> Daejeo: most automated attacks just try port 22
[17:29] <Marfi> Ljungmann, sudo rm -r /*?
[17:30] <ljuwaidah> luckily, i got to install them back
[17:30] <ljuwaidah> but now blueman has no services other than file transfere
[17:30] <Daejeo> aoupi: :) thank you for your advise.  what port number should i use?
[17:30] <aoupi> Daejeo: whichever you like :) 222 is easy to remember
[17:31] <Daejeo> is it hard to find with namap?
[17:31] <erUSUL> !ops | Marfi
[17:31] <MnkD> ola
[17:31] <Daejeo> nmap*?
[17:31] <plutarcus> hi all
[17:31] <MnkD> 1on1cb cod2
[17:31] <Daejeo> port scanning ?
[17:31] <ace808> Hi all.  I have a major issue with my newly instaled 8.10 machine.  I was using 7.04 for a long time here in the office, but now that I upgraded, all of the switches are 'attacked' whenever I log in.  I'm configured for a static IP.  They're going to shut down my connection if this keeps happening
[17:31] <ljuwaidah> i think i have an idea for the "ubuntu brainstorm" thing
[17:31] <MnkD> 1on1 cbcod2
[17:31] <Marfi> erUSUL, ?
[17:32] <plutarcus> i have a trouble with ati driver, can someone help me_
[17:32] <aoupi> Daejeo: it'd be found if someone actualy scanned you and connected to all open ports to see what's running
[17:32] <Flannel> !danger | Marfi
[17:32] <MnkD> 1on1 cb cod2
[17:32] <Marfi> Flannel, lol, i know. i was asking him if thats what he did
[17:32] <aoupi> Daejeo: but since I changed port I havn't gotten any weird connections
[17:32] <erUSUL> Marfi: that command is really dangerous and someone may just copy paste it from here
[17:32] <ace808> What service can I disable to prevent it from happening
[17:32] <Flannel> Marfi: Yes.  And thats why you shouldn't say it.
[17:32] <reqqit> w00t lol, I was running urban terror, thinking, ok performance, and I realised I was running a 36mb system update in the background, and it was configuring everything
[17:33] <LF|Irssi> whois ruler
[17:33] <Marfi> aight, my bad yall. =)
[17:33] <MnkD> hi all

[17:33] <aboSamoor> I can not get any audio file playing using mplayer, totem, or rhythmbox ? any idea. They were working the last time I used the desktop !!!
[17:33] <Marfi> loller, is it a tar.gz?
[17:34] <gammy> Fende: No that's just java being lame as usual! :)
[17:34] <loller> Marfi deb

[17:34] <sako> i am having a problem with document viewer, the side panel on the left is not resizing, i accidentally made it huge and it wont go back to normal
[17:34] <Marfi> loller, just double click it then. .deb is to ubuntu as .exe is to windows
[17:34] <aoupi> Fende: search to see it isn't reported first :)

[17:34] <darkhamm> hey people, i share my partition with samba with XBMC, every time i'm try to open some avi new in partition with XBMC, i can't open , i must type a chmod to the file to open it. how can i build an ext3 partition for share everything everytime in everymode?
[17:34] <x2o> hi i my ubuntu often doesnt recognize new cds and shows the old names
[17:35] <Daejeo> Daejeo: is there any kind of parameters in ssh that can be used to keep the trafic off?
[17:35] <aoupi> !bug | Fende
[17:35] <loller> Marfi yes i already done this but it doesn`t apply to view
[17:35] <Fende> thanks aoupi
[17:35] <Daejeo> aoupi:  is there any kind of parameters in ssh that can be used to keep the trafic off?
[17:35] <x2o> you can "mount /dev/scd0" for data discs but dont know how to treat music discs
[17:35] <loller> Marfi it remains the old theme
[17:35] <sachael> can anyone here ( *box users) recommend a volume control program for the system tray?
[17:35] <aboSamoor> sdfsd: any idea to how find the problem. Because it happens many times
[17:35] <keyhack_afk> off topic question but I have a new case and mobo, and the mobo came with a custom backplate, how do you usually remove the one that is atached to the case?
[17:35] <aoupi> Daejeo: you can whitelist users, with iptables you can also whitelist ips
[17:35] <DasEi> does a restart of gdm/kdm also restart hal or is there another way then rebooting
[17:36] <aoupi> DasEi: sudo /etc/init.d/hal restart
[17:36] <Daejeo> ah iptables, but i need to read first before i use
[17:36] <DasEi> aoupi:thx
[17:36] <temppy> keyhack_afk: (on mine, it just popped out)
[17:36] <Zzeiss> keyhack: just push it inward into the case.
[17:36] <Daejeo> i want to do that i couls do quickly
[17:36] <Neconide> temppy: :( I can't figure this out, the instructions I have are telling me to do something entirely different. I have a modded driver, but that won't work. The real driver is just an .exe that installs it, and it doesn't tell you where it installs the files.
[17:36] <Daejeo> could*
[17:36] <keyhack_afk> temppy: yeah, i can wiggle it a tiny bit, looks like it'll take some work to pry it off
[17:36] <nikitis> Question:  When grub is installed onto a disk hd0 How do you tell it to look for /boot on hd1?
[17:36] <fosco__> DasEi, sudo /etc/init.d/hal restart
[17:37] <Zzeiss> keyhack_afk:  Generally speaking, they aren't screwed in or anything.  Just pop it inward.
[17:37] <aoupi> Daejeo: yea, changing port is quick and effective, but not as bulletproof as whitelisting ip
[17:37] <loller> i`ve installed this theme http://ubuntu.hamdi.web.id/uncategorized/gnomenu-14.html *deb package but i can`t run it any suggestions?
[17:37] <Daejeo> aoupi:  let me change the port
[17:37] <ruler> What is good resouce monitoring program for ubuntu, I need voltage + temperature, thanks
[17:37] <Daejeo> how can i change the port quickly?
[17:37] <aoupi> Daejeo: it's in /etc/ssh/sshd_config
[17:38] <temppy> Neconide: can you give me a link to where you got the driver?  maybe I can figure something out...
[17:38] <aoupi> Daejeo: then you restart ssh, sudo /etc/init.d/ssh restart
[17:38] <Neconide> temppy: hold on, I'm using the original disk, I'll try to find it on linksys.com
[17:39] <Neconide> temppy: http://www.linksys.com/servlet/Satellite?c=L_CASupport_C2&childpagename=US%2FLayout&cid=1175239737731&packedargs=sku%3D1175239525540&pagename=Linksys%2FCommon%2FVisitorWrapper&lid=3773156159B03&displaypage=download#versiondetail
[17:40] <Neconide> temppy: and obviously it's version 1.0 because that's the only one available :p
[17:40] <sako> what is the package that has document viewer?
[17:40] <temppy> Neconide: yeah, im d/l'in now
[17:40] <nikitis> Question: When grub is installed onto a disk hd0 How do you tell it to look for /boot on hd1?  What are the commands from a live disk?
[17:41] <Neconide> temppy: thanks for the help :D
[17:41] <OceanX> when where what who why how
[17:41] <OceanX> the answer is
[17:41] <aboSamoor> ﻿I can not get any audio file playing using mplayer, totem, or rhythmbox ? any idea. They were working the last time I used the desktop !!!
[17:41] <OceanX> 42
[17:41] <Neconide> I'll be right back.
[17:42] <Daejeo> aoupi:  default port 22?
[17:42] <JDStone> are there any limitations with the 64bit version of Ubuntu server?
[17:42] <JDStone> that I should know about?
[17:42] <Daejeo> thats why it is commented
[17:42] <Daejeo> i took off # and changed 2222
[17:42] <hotdog003> Hello. NetworkManager sets my hostname to localhost.localdomain when I start my computer. That's dumb. How do I get it to stop doing that? (It is NM because if I disable it, then it works as usual)
[17:42] <cyberfin> Hiya, I have a problem with my wallpaper... it's disappeared and not coming back. I accessed by vnc and selected disable wallpaper while connected. After deselecting that option nothing happens, it does not come back, just the background color. Any suggestions? Ubuntu 8.10 64b
[17:42] <aoupi> OceanX: now here this us because like this
[17:42] <temppy> Neconide: look under the Drivers folder
[17:43] <jonathanr> hi guys, I've just upgraded to intrepid and when I try to activate the proprietary nvidia drivers a progress bar pops up briefly and then nothing happens, anyone have any ideas why?
[17:43] <Marfi> question, whats the password for the ubuntu user on the live disk?
[17:43] <zenwryly> anyone know where I can get a 8.10 server vmware image>
[17:43] <zenwryly> anyone know where I can get a 8.10 server vmware image?
[17:43] <jimcooncat> JDStone: limitations? not that are imposed by the software, far as I know
[17:43] <aoupi> Marfi: nothing or ubuntu or password or something equaly simple :)
[17:44] <JDStone> okay, cool
[17:44] <JDStone> didn't think so
[17:44] <Marfi> aoupi, thats what i thought. trying to run the live disk and it wants a password, lol
[17:44] <histo> zen_Karoshi, google
[17:44] <jimcooncat> JDStone: what did you mean, really? number of users, connections, etc?
[17:44] <histo> zenwryly, google
[17:45] <Marfi> aoupi, i have honestly never run into this problem
[17:45] <Neconide> temppy: the original disk just has a solid exe, I'll go download it from the site now.
[17:45] <Daejeo> aoupi: i have sshd in init.d
[17:45] <Flannel> Marfi: There is no password.  If enter doesn't work, your disk could be a bad burn (or its not an official Ubuntu one, some of the third party spinoffs have passwords)
[17:45] <temppy> Neconide: yeah, I dunno about that disk.  But the download from the site seems uncompressed, so you shouldn't have a problem, I think
[17:45] <zenwryly> histo: I did do that first, of course
[17:45] <Neconide> temppy: thanks.
[17:46] <Marfi> Flannel, disks should be fine. got the .iso's from canonical via torrent when they first came out. i've also used them for recovery, and this hasn't been a problem
[17:46] <zenwryly> histo: I've found a couple, but don't know if they can be trusted
[17:46] <torito> 149256
[17:46] <JDStone> jimcooncat: well, like computability with plugins, software
[17:46] <zenwryly> histo: hence I thought I'd consult the channel
[17:46] <cyberfin> *bump Hiya, I have a problem with my wallpaper... it's disappeared and not coming back. I accessed by vnc and selected disable wallpaper while connected.

[17:46] <Flannel> Marfi: Have you checked them for defects?
[17:46] <Marfi> Flannel, checksum <pathtoiso>.iso?
[17:47] <JDStone> jimcooncat: got the answer I needed in #ubuntu-server
[17:47] <JDStone> thanks
[17:47] <histo> zenwryly, well I found it http://www.thoughtpolice.co.uk/vmware/ using google
[17:47] <Marfi> Flannel, or just when it boots to run that check?
[17:47] <Fende> aoupi:  eclise works well in kubuto. This is a ubuntu bug.
[17:47] <kopo> Hi! Is there any way to configure Alt+F2-6 buttons in shell?

[17:47] <jonathanr> oh, I've found the solution to my problem, if anyone is interested.. I had "restricted" disabled in software sources
[17:47] <jimcooncat> JDStone: cool. only limitation I got was that I installed on a 4GB machine, and learned I could only use the 64-bit version if I wanted to see all of the ram.
[17:47] <lucax> if i want to use xserver-xorg-i810 i have to do sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg-i810? will that apply changes on xorg?
[17:47] <Flannel> Marfi: yes
[17:47] <kishni> how install driver for vimicro usb pc cam on ubuntu 8.10?
[17:48] <kopo> I'd like to run some commands under function keys
[17:48] <Flannel> Marfi: that is, from the boot thing.
[17:48] <kopo> ö
[17:48] <Marfi> Flannel, running now. will give an update shortly
[17:49] <jimcooncat> kishni: just try it with camorama or cheese without installing a driver -- it might just work
[17:49] <dvyjones> I'm trying to extract a dmg file. file foo.dmg says "VAX COFF executable not stripped - version 376". Any idea how to extract / mount it?
[17:49] <Marfi> dvyjones, why do you need a .dmg? thats a mac file
[17:49] <OceanX> i fallen
[17:49] <OceanX> and i cant get up
[17:50] <OceanX> send help
[17:50] <kishni> thanks jimcooncat
[17:50] <jimcooncat> OceanX: and you have an IRC client on your necklace.
[17:50] <dvyjones> Marfi: Going to burn it for a friend... She has no idea how to burn them :P
[17:50] <Marfi> dvyjones, is it for her mac?
[17:50] <lucax> i was using xserver-xorg-intel wanted to change to xserver-xorg-i810 i did sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg-i810 is that enough for changing drivers??
[17:51] <OceanX> i mindtalk to internet
[17:51] <dvyjones> Marfi: It is indeed...
[17:51] <anubis> would someone mind telling me how to change my default display manager?  For some reason this system boots up with a box that says Debian and won't allow me to change the default display manager.
[17:51] <Marfi> Flannel, did the scan and it said there was an error in 1 file. i've used the image before...any ideas?
[17:51] <OceanX> via my neighbors aircracked
[17:51] <Guest15888> does sudo apt-get dist-upgrade ubuntu version 8.04 to 8.10 or does it just update 8.04? (do i need to change sources.list and then do sudo apt-get dist-upgrade to upgrade to 8.10)?
[17:51] <OceanX> ah screw it
[17:51] <Marfi> dvyjones, just burn the .dmg to a disk as is. on the mac, she will be able to double click it and it will auto mount in the mac
[17:51] <OceanX> it's almost lunch time
[17:52] <Flannel> !upgrade | Guest15888

[17:53] <nikitis> Question: When grub is installed onto a disk hd0 How do you tell it to look for /boot on hd1?
[17:53] <Flannel> Marfi: Try burning another CD at a low speed, 4x or whatnot.  A better burn should fix that problem ( as far as usage prior, I have no idea.  The file with the error obviously only affects the stuff using that file, apparently the liveCD's password stuff)
[17:53] <Guest15888> lucax, ubottu, actually i dont wanna upgrade, i just wanna update and i dont want to upgrade accidentally which is why I am asking if doing sudo apt-get dist-upgrade without changing sources.list or anything only updates and not upgrades
[17:53] <Marfi> Flannel, happened with the ubuntu and xubuntu disk
[17:53] <aoupi> Daejeo: that's it
[17:54] <lucax> Guest15888, ok if dont want to upgrade to 8.10 just do sudo apt-get update (that will update sources) then sudo apt-get upgrade will apply updates for packages on installed version of ubuntu...

[17:55] <dvyjones> Marfi: Thanks, it worked... I've never used a mac before, so I didn't know exactly how DMG files work :P
[17:55] <fosco__> atmosfer, sudo apt-get install rar unrar
[17:56] <lucax> Guest15888, is that what u were asking?
[17:56] <cexpert1> All, added PostGres to my Server but restart blows.  Anyone know how to diagnose this?
[17:56] <oomph> what do people consider the main advantage of using Ubuntu over Debian?
[17:56] <savage2> where can I find the open office irc chat?
[17:56] <Guest15888> lucax, o so apt-get dist-upgrade isnt a valid command because thats what you do in debian
[17:56] <aoupi> Daejeo: can you ssh -p 2222 localhost?
[17:56] <lucax> atmosfer, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras and dont worry about anything else!
[17:56] <oomph> I'm trying to decide between the two
[17:56] <Daejeo> let me try
[17:56] <magnetron> oomph→ the main advantage is all the lovely questions we get in this channel
[17:56] <Flannel> Guest15888: It is a valid command.  And that'll give you up-to-date packages.  But without other actions, it wont move you from 8.04 to 8.10.
[17:56] <Daejeo> i have another trminal open
[17:56] <TBotNik> Oh server version is 7.10
[17:57] <lucax> Guest15888, update and upgrade after sudo apt-get upgrade or update thats all
[17:57] <Flannel> Guest15888: And, in regards to those other actions, there are better ways to do it.
[17:57] <dvyjones> oomph: Ubuntu has newer software in the respositories
[17:57] <SpriteSODA> is there any chance my problem wont be in Fedora?

[17:57] <raven> how does one grow the fs of the currently booted and mounted / partition - must one use a live disk for that sort of thing? :/

[17:57] <peerlessdeepak> Hi
[17:57] <anubis> Would someone mind telling me how to reset my default display manager?  The F6 option no longer appears.
[17:57] <oomph> dvyjones, is that pretty much it?
[17:57] <peerlessdeepak> this is deepak.. I got a problem with my rootfs
[17:58] <raven> magnetron, i have an ntfs that i shrunk from 215 to 170GB, and it errors, but the free space is present, if i ntfsfix that partition the space is tacked back onto the partition - ideas?
[17:58] <dvyjones> oomph: I would say ubuntu for desktops, debian for servers.
[17:58] <peerlessdeepak> My rootfs is 96% full now .. i got free space in other partitions
[17:58] <peerlessdeepak> can i merge those free partitions with the rootfs?
[17:58] <oomph> dvyjones, that's kind of the impression that I got
[17:58] <dvyjones> oomph: That's about what I know. There might be some differences in look etc...
[17:58] <aoupi> peerlessdeepak: ouch... you can resize partitions
[17:59] <kishni> camorama not working(could not connect to video device "/dev/video0"  what now?
[17:59] <peerlessdeepak> aoupi how to do it?
[17:59] <aoupi> peerlessdeepak: in the mean time you cat run sudo apt-get clean, that might give you a few hundred megs
[17:59] <anubis> Would someone mind telling me how to reset my default display manager?  The F6 option no longer appears.
[17:59] <aoupi> peerlessdeepak: start the livecd and somewhere in the system menu you'll have partition editor
[18:00] <Daejeo> aoupi:  it is working now

[18:00] <aoupi> Daejeo: no problem
[18:00] <Guest15888> anubis, ctrl+alt+f1 and then sudo killall gdm and then wait a bit and do sudo gdm (if ur using gnome)

[18:01] <metho> hi there, quick question! is creative soundblaster x-fi support under linux??
[18:01] <supercom32> raven: Well, that and the fact that AVI containers are messed up. Seeking is so slow.
[18:01] <peerlessdeepak> aoupi : thank you

[18:02] <nikitis> I need some help with a complicated installation of grub.  I have 2 HD's, the first in order of the bios is /dev/sda (Windows NTFS) and the second is /dev/sdb (/boot).    My /boot on /dev/sdb already has the information needed to boot the ubuntu and windows install.  But I need grub to be installed on /dev/sda mbr and point to /boot on /dev/sdb.  How do I go about doing this?
[18:02] <supercom32> raven: So, any idea how to do this?
[18:02] <SpriteSODA> guys, any ideas? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6215583
[18:02] <raven> well i'd download and compile the old version from source, supercom32
[18:02] <Daejeo> now i see the traffic from my ip only
[18:02] <Daejeo> :)
[18:02] <supercom32> raven: I downloaded debs from http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/v/vlc/ but I have no idea how to satisfy all dependancys
[18:02] <metho> x-fi sound card support under linux!
[18:02] <Neconide> temppy: It says "Can not find models 'linksys' installation may be incomplete."
[18:02] <metho> anyone
[18:02] <supercom32> raven: I don't think I would know how to compile from source, let alone get all the dependancys to do so.
[18:03] <lorsstudio> i am trying to copy some files via rsync, but some files can't be copied because of characters in the filenames. i think it has to do with the text character encoding. how i can resolve this issue?
[18:03] <nikitis> Nobody smart enough to answer that?
[18:04] <raven> supercom32, compiling from source is easy, but if u haave debs, run "sudo apt-get build-dep vlc", then "dpkg -i your-deb.deb"
[18:04] <Neconide> raven, supercom32, or you can just use a package manager?
[18:04] <aoupi> lorsstudio: check the --iconv option for rsync
[18:04] <metho> can anyone answer my question please, is xfi sound card supported under linux??
[18:05] <raven> Neconide, package managers r for the terminal challenged :(
[18:05] <Neconide> raven, package managers are easymode. and easymode = less work. and less work = neconide is happy. and neconide is happy = win.
[18:05] <raven> terminals = hax, hax = leet, leet = raven happy, raven happy = more win
[18:05] <peerlessdeepak> aoupi : Is there anyway to resize from ubuntu itself..it says rootfs cant be unmounted
[18:06] <paul68> hi I did this howto to launch iptables at boot however I can't get it to work can someone help me out here this is the howto I followed https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo#Configuration%20on%20startup
[18:06] <supercom32> raven, neconide: I would like to if possible. I have no idea what I am doing :P
[18:06] <raven> just do wut i sasid
[18:06] <raven> it works
[18:06] <aoupi> peerlessdeepak: no, resizing a partition you use isn't very good :)
[18:06] <Neconide> supercom32: so install a package manager, go look in the apps section on ubuntu.com, or I'll go fetch it if you're lazy.
[18:06] <supercom32> raven: will this get the latest dependancys or those that were needed at the time of 0.8.6?
[18:06] <raven> it will get the latest
[18:07] <raven> but there is likely little if any change
[18:07] <shinoj> പൊദാ ചെക്ക
[18:07] <lorsstudio> metho i dont know for sure but i think that ALSA and/or OSS drivers will compile for most sound cards but you might only be able to access the most basic features. you wont get EAX, you wont get SPIDF passthrough, etc
[18:07] <raven> and it will work

[18:31] <Gswain1> How come i can not stop MySQL with /etc/init.d/mysql stop as root?
[18:31] <ikonia> unitedpotsmokers: because it's not meant for ubuntu
[18:31] <NicEXE> can I take a backup of my hdd included files by selecting them all and adding them to a *.tar.gz file? Do I miss any files? (this is not my master ext3 drive that linux boot from)

[18:32] <beege> DasEi: not installed. give me a sec to install it
[18:33] <lorsstudio> when I try to view the contents of a directory, some characters aren't showing up, for example I see this: "Sigur R?s - ?g?tis Byrjun", when I should see: "Sigur Rós – Ágætis Byrjun"
[18:33] <DasEi> beege: sudo apt-get install gparted
[18:33] <beege> aye, it's opening
[18:33] <DasEi> beege: make sure, you choose right drive (upper right corner of gparted), look up sda1
[18:34] <beege> DasEi: just finished. sda is selected (as opposed to sdb, the extternal)
[18:34] <paul68> I did this howto https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo#Configuration%20on%20startup  however when I reboot my server I don't get any notification that its working or what is wrong can someone help me

[18:39] <temppy> Neconide: no luck?
[18:39] <Neconide> temppy: It worked but I can't connect to the internet.... http://paste.ubuntu.com/74880/ (I coppied all of it to a cd then pasted it from vista)
[18:39] <Neconide> netr28u : driver installed
[18:39] <Neconide> 	device (1737:0071) present
[18:40] <temppy> Neconide: hmm, weird.
[18:41] <Neconide> temppy: I'm wondering if I'm even looking at the network manager... the little network icon in the system tray, correct?
[18:41] <Aperculum> is ubuntu 64bit more stable than 32bit?
[18:41] <Neconide> temppy: It doesn't display any networks.
[18:41] <temppy> Neconide: its wifi, right?  did you set it up with network manager?
[18:41] <ikonia> Aperculum: the same
[18:41] <Neconide> temppy: no it's not wifi.
[18:41] <Neconide> temppy: I'm trying to connect to my router
[18:41] <Chaostos> please explain... 1) go to source directory 2) Execute make command as root ..make..make install O_O
[18:41] <ikonia> Chaostos: that is unwise to do that blindly
[18:41] <DasEi> !compile | Chaostos
[18:42] <Aperculum> ikonia, is all the same packages available for 64bit too?
[18:42] <Chaostos> how to install downloaded Soundblaster sounddrivers..its not from outer source
[18:42] <ikonia> Aperculum: pretty much
[18:42] <Aperculum> and is there a flash available for 64bit?
[18:42] <ikonia> Aperculum: yup
[18:42] <Aperculum> great :)
[18:42] <DasEi> Aperculum: also lots of 32 bit installs on 64-sys
[18:42] <Aperculum> thanks
[18:42] <Neconide> !64bit | Aperculum
[18:43] <ikonia> !away > alevine_notHere
[18:43] <temppy> Neconide: hmmm, it looks like its a wifi card
[18:43] <Aperculum> thank you Neconide DasEi
[18:44] <Neconide> temppy: Regardless, could you assist me in trying to connect to my network?
[18:44] <bauer_> guys, when i try to install a new version of firefox it keeps telling me i am on version 3 beta 5, im assuming there is a full release for ubtunu by now.... any ideas as to why its not getting the proper one?
[18:44] <unitedpotsmokers> i forgot.. what the command to get update , and do the update
[18:44] <unitedpotsmokers> pls help
[18:44] <Flannel> bauer_: You're using Gutsy?
[18:44] <Flannel> unitedpotsmokers: Use update-manager
[18:44] <bauer_> erm, think so, im kinda new to this
[18:45] <Flannel> unitedpotsmokers: Or synaptic package manager.
[18:45] <ikonia> bauer_ how did you install firefox in the first place
[18:45] <DasEi> ﻿unitedpotsmokers:sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
[18:45] <unitedpotsmokers> i using hardy
[18:45] <Flannel> bauer_: did you recently install your system?
[18:45] <Neconide> !firefox | bauer_
[18:45] <bauer_> nah its quite old now, a few months ive just started using it
[18:45] <dvyjones> Is there an easy way to automatically click the button named "Foo" in every dialog box popping up on a software?
[18:45] <unitedpotsmokers> thanks DasEi
[18:45] <Flannel> Neconide: That's not necessary.
[18:45] <ikonia> bauer_ how did you install firefox in the first place
[18:45] <Flannel> bauer_: Ah.  Well, you'd likely appreciate an upgrade to Ubuntu 8.04 then.  It'll have Firefox 3
[18:45] <temppy> Neconide: I don't think I can
[18:46] <bauer_> i installed it by doing
[18:46] <bauer_> sudo apt-get install firefox-3.0
[18:46] <ikonia> bauer_: what version of ubuntu are you on ?
[18:46] <bauer_> and im sure there is a command to tell me what version i am on isnt there?
[18:46] <bauer_> of ubuntu i mean
[18:46] <ikonia> bauer_: lsb_release -a
[18:46] <Flannel> bauer_: lsb_release -a
[18:47] <bauer_> im on hardy 8.04
[18:47] <Neconide> temppy: I just don't really get what I'm supposed to do/where I'm supposed to go to set it up.
[18:47] <ikonia> bauer_: something is wrong then, as hardy has 8.04 installed fine firefox 3
[18:47] <ikonia> bauer_: you wouldn't have to do apt-get install firefox-3 on 8.04
[18:47] <bauer_> well it has firefox 3, but its telling me its the beta 5 version
[18:47] <Neconide> temppy: mostly because I've read countless articles for help with this shitty WUSB600N and they all tell me to do different things.
[18:47] <Flannel> bauer_: Do this: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[18:48] <temppy> Neconide: well, are you sure its not a wifi card?  I mean, you have a wire running from the card to your router?  usually those cards are supported OOTB
[18:48] <skb0> Has anyone a working config which allows to unmount a usb stick mounted by ivman ? I remove gnome-volume-manager, so it can cause any trouble anymore. When I insert my key, it's perfectly auto-mounted but I can't unmount it later, except using sudo.
[18:48] <Flannel> bauer_: Then you'll be completely up to date.  And if you still have the old firefox, come back and ask about it.
[18:48] <mircmac> using hardy, have wireless, iwconfig show ssid and mac of ap, but can't ping the ap or anything on the other side of ap, wadimiss?
[18:48] <bauer_> will give it a go thanks guys
[18:48] <Neconide> temppy: it's a wireless-n USB adapter
[18:48] <Flannel> bauer_: Actually, we can verify you'll have the new firefox if you do this: sudo apt-get update && apt-cache policy firefox
[18:48] <Seven_Six_Two> skb0, why can't you unmount it? what is the error?
[18:48] <DShepherd> hi
[18:49] <Chaostos> k guys sorry..i repost my question II my friend need Soundblaster drivers installed...He got them downloaded..as archive XFiDrv_Linux_Public_US_1.00.tar.gz HOw to install them from archive ? o_O
[18:49] <dvyjones> A program I have to extract something asks me for each file in a folder if it want me to rename the folder, because it already exists, which is kinda annoying. It would be OK if I could select "Continue All", but there's no button like that. And it also slides off screen sometimes, so I have to drag the window on screen again. Any ways to avoid this? I need either an app to click the button with the label "Continue", or an app to force the box to
[18:49] <bauer_> wierd
[18:49] <ikonia> Chaostos: get your friend to come in so we can work it through with him
[18:49] <bauer_> it didnt download anything or install anything, i must be up to date
[18:49] <ikonia> bauer_: please show me dpkg -l | grep -i firefox
[18:50] <Flannel> bauer_: Alright, pastebin the output of this command please: sudo apt-get update && apt-cache policy firefox
[18:50] <temppy> Neconide: ah, thats what I thought.  Sorry, I use wifi as short for wireless.  iwconfig is the main command to control a wifi card.  iwconfig alone will list all wifi connections.  You can also use iwlist scan to search for networks
[18:50] <Seven_Six_Two> Chaostos, you need to extract the archive first
[18:50] <FiloSottile> hi, have a live usb pen in persistent mode and in the root of this pen there is "casper-rw", i want to resize it, how can i do?
[18:50] <Chaostos> Seven_Six_Two: k then... ?
[18:50] <FiloSottile> i think that it is an ext3 partition
[18:51] <Neconide> temppy: thank you, I will try that now.
[18:51] <FiloSottile> but it appear as a file
[18:51] <ikonia> Chaostos: get your friend to come in and we can walk him through it
[18:51] <ikonia> Chaostos: it's not a "set" procedure, we need to see results
[18:51] <Seven_Six_Two> there should be instructions in the INSTALL or README, and we can help too of course.
  i would try gpartd
[18:52] <bauer_> never used pastebin before, i just posted it on that pastebin site
[18:52] <bauer_> not sure how or where though :_)
[18:52] <FiloSottile> OxDeadC0de: but how? it works with devices, not with files!!!!
[18:53] <DasEi> bauer_: paste, poste, give resulting url from browser in here
[18:53] <paul68> I followed this howto in how to add rules into your interfaces files to startup your iptables at boot of the server. however I don't get any results or any logging when I boot up my server can someone help me out
[18:53] <Flannel> !paste | bauer_
[18:53] <keyhack_afk> Is it normal for the Live USB app to take a long time to finish?
[18:53] <xyz> how can i get translucent windows in 8.10 Intrepid?
[18:53] <bauer_> http://pastebin.com/m78a319c7
 I've never had a usb pen with lin on it before, can you give me a little detail? Is it like (or is it exactly) a .iso type image stored on the pen?
[18:54] <FiloSottile> OxDeadC0de: no, no, on the pen there are syslinux, the kernel and this file, where the persistent configs are saved
[18:55] <mircmac> using hardy, have wireless, iwconfig show ssid and mac of ap, but can't ping the ap or anything on the other side of ap
[18:55] <FiloSottile> it is 1gb big, because when creating pen i specified this size
 do you know what type of "file" it is? a gziped archive or what?
[18:56] <FiloSottile> hmmm moment
[18:57] <FiloSottile> it is a file containing an ext3 file system
[18:57] <FiloSottile> no extensions
[18:57] <wos> !conduit
[18:58] <wos> can anyone here help me with conduit?
[18:58] <Neconide> temppy: The drivers installed correctly but it doesn't display eth0 under iwconfig or iwlist scan. In addition, the light on it doesn't turn on.
[18:58] <wos> no one?
[18:58] <phoenixz> I printed a document yesterday, and halfway during printing I pulled the network cable. and then shutdown the computer. Now that I rebooted, I keep having 2 processes called "socket" running as user lp which both take some 99% CPU, When I kill -9 then (kill normal wont do anythihg) they return a few seconds later. I think this is related to the print action (user lp?) how can I fix this?!
[18:59] <c0re_> wos,  what is conduit?
[18:59] <Neconide> wos: please explain your problem with a little more detail.
[18:59] <Flannel> !anyone | wos
[19:00] <Neconide> temppy: got any ideas?
[19:00] <temppy> Neconide: eth0 is probably a built in wired connection.  It sounds like the drivers aren't modprobing properly or something.  I really don't know.  Maybe its because you are using 64bit ubuntu?  Other than that, I'm out of ideas.  Sorry, and good luck
[19:00] <wos> Neconide: Flannel: i dont know how to synchronize with conduit. i dont know how to find a provider that will let me synchronize data with them.
[19:01] <wos> i dont know how to synchronize with conduit. i dont know how to find a provider that will let me synchronize data with them. could someone help me with this?
[19:02] <ikonia> wos: what are you trying to syncronize
[19:02] <Neconide> wos: I was just suggesting you explain your question with a little more detail as FLannel noted, I don't know what Conduit it, sorry. There's got to be someone out there who had the same problem.
[19:02] <wos> my tomboy notes

[19:03] <ikonia> wos: I'm trying to find some information on it as I'm not aware of the product

[19:05] <wiehan> does anyone know of a good linux distro which could as a caching server for http, etc, and offer some "auditing" as to monitor which user uses more ADSL cap?
[19:05] <wos> ikonia i dont know how to  find a service provider
[19:05] <metbsd> i installed kubuntu but it shows ubuntu?
[19:05] <ikonia> wos: we can't help with that
[19:05] <ikonia> wos: you have to find your provider
[19:05] <supercom32> If I  have debs all in the same folder, how do I install them at the same time so if dependancys are required they can find each other?
[19:05] <mircmac> wifi radar says my laptop is connected to an access point, ssid & MAC shown is correct, but no access to local or internet what am I missing?
[19:05] <Pici> metbsd: They are one in the same
[19:05] <LjL> wiehan, this is the *Ubuntu* support channel, not the "recommend a Linux distribution" channel... try asking ##linux perhaps
[19:05] <supercom32> can I use a wild card like  * to install?
[19:05] <ikonia> supercom32: no
[19:06] <wos> ikonia what KIND of provider am i looking for though, can you help me answer that question?
[19:06] <LjL> ikonia: why not?
[19:06] <ikonia> ljl apt-get install * ?
[19:06] <yariii> Hi. I have a problem. I first installed Ununtu, and then Windows. Now I do not have GRUB as bootloader and I wish to install it again. I tried 'grub-install /dev/sda5' (which is the Ubuntu partition) but that gives a error. What shall I do/
[19:06] <supercom32> ikonia: so how does it work?
[19:06] <Neconide> ikonia: My WUSB600N wireless-n USB adapter works with vista (I'm dual booting). I installed the XP64bit version and it didn't work, so I installed the vista32 bit version and the drivers installed fine. It doesn't display eth0 or whatever under ifconfig or iwconfig. iwlist scan doesn't work because it's not listed. The light for the USB device does not ever go on when I'm in Ubuntu.
[19:06] <LjL> ikonia: no, but he's got *.debs* in a folder, so dpkg -i *
[19:06] <RenacNes> hi
[19:06] <ikonia> LjL ahh I missed that part
[19:06] <LjL> ikonia: (well, dpkg -i *.deb would be a much better idea of course)
[19:07] <supercom32> LjL: in that case would all debs see each other for dependacy related issues?
[19:07] <mckulja_> Hello all... Please help me... I have problem with my sound driver... i cant install them. the file format is tar.gz
[19:07] <Neconide> ikonia: http://paste.ubuntu.com/74880/ - that's where it installed fine, but it isn't displayed under ifconfig.

[19:07] <bluedragonpiper> General question: what should I do if aptitude fails to fetch a package (404)?
[19:07] <yariii> anyone_
[19:07] <yariii> ?
[19:07] <LjL> supercom32: i think they do, but if they don't, you just need to repeat the command a couple of times until it stops complaining
[19:08] <wos> ikonia what *kind* of provider am i looking for though, can you help me answer that question?
[19:08] <ikonia> wos: depends what data you want to sync and what program is needed to sync it
[19:08] <LjL> bluedragonpiper: that depends. 404 means the file is just not there. show us your /etc/apt/sources.list
[19:08] <Neconide> ikonia: any ideas?
[19:08] <JediMaster> is there a prefered way of adding a second (or more) ip to an interface?

[19:09] <wos> ikonia tomboy notes
[19:09] <Neconide> ikonia: I know, but I've heard that plenty of people got it to work in ndiswrapper after a bit of tweaking.
[19:09] <aewfa> So, there's a package I want to install from gutsy-backports, but I don't want any other packages from backports to be suggested as replacements for other packages I have installed. How can I do this?
[19:09] <LjL> mckulja_: what soundcard?
[19:09] <ldiamond2> Is there a way I can shutdown my computer without having access to it? (SSH and Telnet failed, anything is enabled by default in ubuntu?)
[19:09] <ay^> mckulja_: probably that is a source tar-ball! you need to unpack it and then compile it
[19:09] <ikonia> wos: what backend program is needed to sync tomboy notes ?
[19:09] <LjL> !backports > aewfa    (aewfa, see the private message from ubottu)
[19:09] <ikonia> wos: I've never heard of anyone syncing tomboy notes
[19:09] <mckulja_> Ljl Soundblaster
[19:09] <angelo> Does anyone know how i can block an ip for xx minutes/hours through iptables?
[19:09] <wos> ikonia i dont know what  a backend program is
[19:10] <LjL> mckulja_: soundblaster what?
[19:10] <aewfa> thanks LjL
[19:10] <ikonia> wos: you need a "server" at the other end that knows how to sync the application you want
[19:10] <Xx> Hey!  I just  installed arch on hda and I have gutsy on hdb,  I edited the grub menu.lst file to include arch and gutsy but now when I try to boot up ubuntu it just hangs at the loading bar and puts me into the "BusyBox v1.1.3 shell"  does anyone know whats wrong?
[19:10] <Pici> wos: You could try asking in the official conduit channel: #conduit on irc.gimp.org
[19:10] <Neconide> ikonia: is the linksys WUSB11 v2.0 supported?
[19:10] <LjL> ldiamond2: no
[19:10] <mckulja_> LjL: SoundBlaster X-Fi XtremeGamer
[19:10] <ldiamond2> :(
[19:10] <ikonia> Neconide no idea, my advice is stay clear of usb wirless cards
[19:10] <wos> ikonia yes im aware, but what kind of server? what exactly is it im looking for?
[19:10] <Neconide> ikonia: they're all I can use :[
[19:11] <ikonia> wos: http://boyd.musipal.com/2007/06/tomboy-note-sync-demo.html
[19:11] <metbsd> so i can't access windows share
[19:11] <Xx> you might have to use ndiswrapper ikonia,  do you have the driver cd?
[19:11] <mckulja_> ay^ i have extracted the file... but dont know what to do after
[19:11] <wos> thanks
[19:11] <ikonia> wos: I have no idea I've never heard of anyone syncing tomboy notes
[19:11] <Pici> wos: You can only use things that conduit has connectors for.
[19:11] <ikonia> Xx: I never advise ndiswrapper,
[19:11] <metbsd> i can see work group, but when i connect to it, i get time out
[19:11] <Pici> ikonia: conduit has the ability to sync those.
[19:11] <wos> pici what do you mean
[19:11] <skb0> Seven_Six_Two : the error is "cannot open /media/.hal-matb". Moreover, If i create a new empty document with Nautlius, I can't delete it (it's owned by ivman, but the perms should allow me to). In a terminal, no trouble (without sudo !)
[19:11] <Gnea> welp, so far this ubuntustudio box has taken a distinct liking to the gutsy->hardy upgrade... now to see how it does with the hardy->ibex upgrade
[19:11] <mckulja_> LjL SoundBlaster X-Fi XtremeGamer
[19:11] <ikonia> Pici: check the link I've just sent him
[19:11] <Pici> wos: Have you actually installed conduit yet?
[19:11] <JediMaster> I'm trying to run ventrilo server on my ubuntu server, it was working fine until I put my second IP, it now binds itself to that, even though the manual clearly states that it binds to all IPs and there's no way of changing it, anyone have any ideas?
[19:11] <Xx> well for some cards thats your only option

[19:11] <wos> pici yes
[19:12] <danielm_mc> anyone know how to disable the f1 key from displaying the help menu in a terminal?
[19:13] <mau> Hello. I have a computer with ubuntu installed and would like to shrink its partition to make space for Windows. How can I do it?
[19:13] <LjL> mckulja_: it will be pretty complicated to install those drivers, as the x-fi is as of yet unsupported
[19:13] <Xx> so when i try to load up ubuntu now it hangs for a while at the loading bar and drops my into the BusyBox shell,  how do I get it working again?
[19:13] <gpled> will their be an update option for going to 8.10 ?
[19:13] <mau> Is there any spacial cd to boot from?
[19:13] <mau> special
[19:13] <Pici> wos: Each node can sent to some other node, I don't think theres the ability to add custom nodes.  So look at the providers that it can talk to and sign up with them.
[19:13] <ikonia> !upgrade > gpled
[19:13] <LjL> !upgrade | gpled
[19:13] <DasEi> mau: use gparted from live

[19:14] <mckulja_> LjL but i have downloaded already an official driver... but its opens like archive... ;(
[19:14] <wos> thanks pici, what search terms did you use to find that?
[19:14] <Pici> wos: conduit sync
[19:14] <danielm_mc> ﻿anyone know how to disable the f1 key from displaying the help menu in a terminal?
[19:14] <LjL> mckulja_: that's because it *is* an archive. it probably contains install instructions, you need to follow those.
[19:14] <wos> ok
[19:14] <wos> thanks
[19:16] <keyhack> The Live USB creator is going extremely slow, is there a way I can make a bootable USB drive that will let me do a net install of Ubuntu 7.10?
[19:16] <danielm_mc> ﻿anyone know how to disable the f1 key from displaying the help menu in a terminal?
[19:16] <mckulja_> LjL instruction that tottaly suck ;) there is writen - 1) Goto source directory 2) Execute make command as root  make  make install.... But i'm new on ubuntu and dont know how to do it
[19:17] <vlitzer> anyone knows why sometimes keys dont work in flash on firefox?
[19:17] <ikonia> mckulja_: you dont know how to type "make" ?
[19:17] <danielm_mc> oh brilliance
[19:17] <danielm_mc> you guys are about zero help
[19:17] <ikonia> danielm_mc: whats up ?
[19:17] <gpled> thanks
[19:17] <Khisanth> hrm a bunch of stuff seems to have been broken in 8.04 after the last bunch of updates
[19:17] <Neconide> danielm_mc: What seems to be the problem?
[19:18] <danielm_mc> ﻿anyone know how to disable the f1 key from displaying the help menu in a terminal?
[19:18] <crweb> Khisanth: really?  I haven't noticed anything
[19:18] <crweb> Khisanth: any examples?
[19:18] <mckulja_> ikonia i typed make... gush... what after
[19:18] <ikonia> danielm_mc: modmap
[19:18] <Khisanth> crweb: shares-admin, no way to Unlock
[19:18] <ikonia> danielm_mc: xmodmap
[19:18] <danielm_mc> yeah i figured it out
[19:18] <jcmages> where can I download the nvidia-fglrx (the older version ?)
[19:18] <danielm_mc> it's actually easier than that
[19:18] <ikonia> danielm_mc: ok, so why are you asking ?
[19:19] <Neconide> ikonia, danielm_mc: I think he wants to know how to change f1 with modmap
[19:19] <danielm_mc> coz i couldn't figure it out, and the someone in a different room hooked it up
[19:19] <mckulja_> fuck... big help i get
[19:19] <elmnas>  hi guys can someone help me please. I have a eeepc901 and Im running lxde with ubuntu eee but I have a dam frame like a css mall for all icons on my desktop how do I remove it?
[19:19] <ikonia> mckulja_: you need to control your language
[19:20] <ikonia> Neconide: I know what he wants, but when I suggested an answer he already knew,
[19:20] <mckulja_> go in hell
[19:20] <elmnas> lol
[19:20] <Neconide> ikonia: Yeah then you said so why are you asking? and I just presumed that was what he was asking.
[19:21] <elmnas> neconide do you know what I mean?
[19:21] <jackgall> Hey
[19:21] <chrizzz> hi all :)
[19:22] <Neconide> elmnas, I can't help you with that. Feel free to ask around, there are some very smart people in here.
[19:22] <BlehTM> Hi, I've been having trouble with Ubuntu and my graphics card, and I was wondering if there was any hope.
[19:22] <elmnas> ok ok
[19:22] <chrizzz> im looking for a good java editor...are there any recommondations ?
[19:22] <tobiassjosten> Can anyone tell me what font is used as default on gnome-terminal? All it say is "monospace" but that's no font. At least none I can access from any other program.
[19:22] <elmnas> thanx anyway
[19:22] <Neconide> BlehTM: what graphics card do you have?
[19:22] <BlehTM> Radeon 3850 512MB
[19:22] <Khisanth> crweb: also the Users and Groups, of course you can still configure things through the config files but that is besides the point
[19:23] <jcmages> blehTM : I have the same problem. I'm searching a place to download the nvidia-flrx drivers.
[19:23] <Neconide> BlehTM: Hold on I'll go check if that's supported.
[19:23] <jackgall> is there any im client for ubuntu that can share files with google talk on windows ?
[19:23] <_Ire> any1 know where boost_1_37_0 installs to?
[19:23] <BlehTM> Ok, thanks.
[19:24] <Neconide> BlehTM: please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/6.10/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/graphics-cards.html
[19:24] <gogaz_> hi
[19:24] <paul678> ikonia: can you kick my other nick so that I can change back to it thanks
[19:24] <BlehTM> Ok, thanks I'll check it out.
[19:24] <Neconide> BlehTM: if I'm correct radeon is a subcatagory of ATIs
[19:24] <BlehTM> Yes
[19:24] <jcmages> It works nice in Xubuntu, since it let te possibility to install the oldest version of nvidia-fglrx (the 96) But in Ubuntu 8.04, the Proprietary driver pannel doesnt open
[19:24] <lorsstudio> when I try to view the contents of a directory in the terminal, or through nautilus, some special characters like letters with accent marks on them are not displaying properly
[19:25] <paul678> ikonia:  other nick is paul68
[19:25] <dvyjones> Is there a way to run either OSX or OSX Applications on Linux?
[19:25] <Neconide> BlehTM: alright let me know if that helps you. (and please say Neconide: or neconide, or whatever you wish in front of my name to address it to me. It makes it a lot easier to notice&read)
[19:26] <BlehTM> Neconide:  Ok.  I haven't even installed Ubuntu yet, it's just nothing would even be displayed running from the installation disk until I ran it in safe gfx mode.  I'll install ubuntu and see if I can get it working.
[19:27] <Neconide> BlehTM: Are you planning to dual boot or overwrite whatever OS you currently have?
[19:27] <BlehTM> Dual boot.
[19:27] <Cypress> Greetings all. im looking for a person with a high amount of linux knowledge in general ? ( i need some basic info about linux because im quite new tbh )
[19:27] <Neconide> BlehTM: You have partioned your hard disk accordingly, correct?
[19:28] <dvyjones> Cypress: Just ask for what you want to know...
[19:28] <BlehTM> Neconide:  Sort of.  It will be a bit messy because I made a mistake partitioning Windows.  But it should work.
[19:28] <simond> when building a kernel+modules using make-kpkg, how do I enable stripping? the resulting bundle right now is huuuuge
[19:28] <Cypress> okay well, im looking for a linux that can run on a memory stick, does that exist?
[19:29] <DJones> !usb | Cypress
[19:29] <Neconide> BlehTM: At the install, don't select the "Automatic Partion" Option. That is for people who haven't already partioned their hard disk.
[19:29] <DJones> Cypress: See the part about a persisent live usb install, that should help you
[19:29] <Neconide> BlehTM: Select "Guided - Use most available space" or something along the lines of that.
[19:30] <EugenMayer`aw> anybody has his intrepid 8.10 running with the current ati 8.11 drivers on the 27-generic kernel?
[19:30] <mrpockets> Is there an image editor in Ubuntu or for Ubuntu thats a little easier to use than Gimp?
[19:30] <aoupi> mrpockets: gpaint :)
[19:30] <Cypress> okay thanks alot :)... and the dual boot is also possible to set up from the ubunto install disk ?
[19:30] <mthorn> would anyone know why on 8.10 when I plug in my external hard drive (/dev/sdc), the kernel does NOT automatically create /dev/sdc1 as well? the drive works perfectly on 8.04
[19:31] <jcmages> Hi everybody. looking for download the nvidia-fglrx (the oldest one.) I've tried in Synaptic, the Legacy one, but nothing happend.
[19:31] <mrpockets> aoupi, great :)
[19:31] <aoupi> mrpockets: tell me if you figure out how to "Undo" in it :)
[19:31] <loller> theme-manager in ubuntu?
[19:31] <aoupi> mthorn: have you tried mountiing sdc?
[19:31] <BlehTM> Neconide:  I'm actually trying to see if I can fix my mess ups partitioning.  I somehow ended up with my Windows boot sector on the partition I was to be using for Ubuntu.  Should I find a way to move the boot sector?
[19:32] <aoupi> mthorn: my old mp3-player didn't show up as sdc1 but I could mount /dev/sdc
[19:32] <DJones> Cypress: I'm not sure about dualbooting with a usb install
[19:32] <Neconide> BlehTM: Did you devide your HD in half, or did you give ubuntu a larger/smaller partion?
[19:32] <mthorn> aoupi: http://pastebin.com/m6ddc1d0e
[19:33] <BlehTM> Yeah, I only gave Ubuntu a 1GB partition and was thinking to use the other 249GB for storage, etc.  Will that work?
[19:33] <aoupi> mthorn: ah
[19:33] <rioch> Anyone know how I can setup ubuntu to work on a hdtv?
[19:33] <aoupi> rioch: what do you mean?
[19:33] <BlehTM> Neconide:  (Sorry, I keep forgetting to type your name >_>)
[19:33] <kenshin_> rioch,  an hd tv is like any other monitor ...
[19:33] <mthorn> aoupi: I updated it with the result of fdisk -l : http://pastebin.com/m4da40593
[19:34] <Neconide> BlehTM: Ubuntu is still a rather large OS and would probably require more than 1GB storage if you were planning on having a lot of data on it.
[19:34] <aoupi> mthorn: there you have sdc1
[19:34] <mthorn> it's very strange. fdisk can see the partition, but /dev/sdc1 never gets created
[19:34] <rioch> kenshin_: I have a laptop with dvi output. I've got a dvi->hdmi cable
[19:34] <rioch> it doesn't detect my hdtv
[19:34] <lorsstudio> how can i add up the size of all the files in a directory and recurse into subdirectories
[19:34] <aoupi> mthorn: what does ls /dev/sdc* give you?
[19:34] <dvyjones> Is tehre a way to run OSX in VirtualBox, or run OSX apps with something like WINE?
[19:34] <Neconide> BlehTM: I don't think your windows was transferred to a 1GB partition or else it probably wouldn't be working right now. Are you using XP or Vista? 32 bit or 64 bit?
[19:34] <mthorn> just this: 0 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 32 2008-11-20 13:44 sdc
[19:34] <kenshin_> yep, still as I said an hd tv is yet an other monitor ...
[19:34] <mthorn> it works fine on 8.04.
[19:34] <c_malc> quick pre-install question re Samba for a couple of Vista users:  should I install 64 bit ?
[19:35] <ikonia> c_malc: that doesn't matter
[19:35] <triggerhapp> A script keeps closing itself unexpectedly, while I look for a fix, can someone give me a shell command to re-run the same script when it ends?
[19:35] <ikonia> c_malc: samba works the same for both
[19:35] <kenshin_> xinerama is a start
[19:35] <BlehTM> It's weird, I think my boot sector is on the 1GB but the actual installation is on the other partition.  Is that possible?
[19:35] <c_malc> ikonia:  thanks, just making sure there was no problem with 64 bit before going ahead
[19:36] <rioch> kenshin_: what do I need to do?
[19:36] <Neconide> BlehTM: unfortunetly yes that is possible.
[19:36] <kenshin_> triggerhapp,  would ellaborate on that plz
[19:36] <aoupi> triggerhapp: while true; do ./script; done
[19:36] <kenshin_> google xinerama
[19:36] <c_malc> ikonia: ...just a file server
[19:36] <triggerhapp> thanks aoupi, looks perfect
[19:36] <aboSamoor> my players are not working, they are not playing any file !!! any idea ?
[19:36] <ikonia> c_malc: there is no problem
[19:36] <BlehTM> Neconide:  Any way to move the boot sector?  Or should I just start over and reinstall Windows?
[19:36] <aoupi> triggerhapp: you're welcome
[19:37] <jcmages> Could someone tell me : if I do understand : fglrx stand for ati's cards, but what stands for nvidia's ones ?
[19:37] <c_malc> ikonia: thanks
[19:37] <kenshin_> rioch,  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=221174 <- seconf link on a search xinerama ubuntu
[19:37] <kenshin_> HowTo: Dual Monitors (Xinerama/TwinView/MergedFB) - Ubuntu Forums
[19:37] <Neconide> BlehTM: That really depends. Do you have any problem formatting/do you have important documents or a lot of music (more than 5GB) that you wouldn't want to lose and can't back up?
[19:38] <kenshin_> rioch,  the third link would be XineramaHowTo - Community Ubuntu Documentation
[19:38] <TJ-42> I want to run firefox 2.  I installed firefox 2 with apt-get, but when I type firefox-2, firefox-3 starts.  How do I get version 2 to start?
[19:38] <aoupi> TJ-42: is firefox3 running when you start firefox2?
[19:38] <TJ-42> yes
[19:38] <rioch> kenshin_: thanks, ill have a read. I've just got the nvidia tool to find my tv, but it doesn't seem to want to use it.
[19:38] <Neconide> BlehTM: If you're seriously considdering formatting I recommend downloading all the installers you'll need now and putting them on a USB/CD just to make it that much less of a hassel.
[19:39] <aoupi> TJ-42: run firefox-2 with -no-remote, that might help
[19:39] <kenshin_> np rioch, glad to help
[19:39] <BlehTM> Neconide:  Yeah, I think I could do that.  I think I can back up to a second 250GB drive in a different computer.
[19:39] <TJ-42> aoupi: almost helped.  This time it said firefox is already running, please close.  But I want to run them both at the same time
[19:39] <aoupi> TJ-42: it'll probably complain about how firefox is already running, so run with -ProfileManager too to create a new profile
[19:39] <TJ-42> aoupi: heh ok
[19:39] <aoupi> TJ-42: you can't use the same profile with 2 instances at the same time unfortunatly
[19:39] <Gnea> is firefox 2 even packaged in ubuntu anymore?
[19:40] <TJ-42> Gnea: Im still on 8.04
[19:40] <Gnea> TJ-42: ah ok
[19:40] <Aspecti> I set my resolution too high and got 'Out Of Range', otherwise black screen. Would running rm ~/.config/monitors.xml fix it?
[19:40] <TJ-42> aoupi: That worked.  Thank you very much :-)
[19:40] <aoupi> TJ-42: no problem :)
[19:40] <Neconide> BlehTM: I've never had to fix a partition so I'm not quite sure. I recommend asking around a little more before formatting, unless it REALLY doesn't matter and you're a very patient person.
[19:40] <BlehTM> Neconide:  How would you recommend formatting my drive?  I have a single 250GB drive I will be using for both Windows and Ubuntu.
[19:40] <aoupi> Aspecti: back up the file first and try, if it fails misserably you can just copy it back :)
[19:41] <Neconide> BlehTM: what OS are you running? XP32 XP64 Vista32 or Vista64?
[19:41] <BlehTM> Neconide:  Yeah, I don't care much, I just installed Windows a few weeks ago anyway.  XP32.
[19:42] <loller> i wanna ask for example i download and install theme how can i run , should i use theme manager or what , help ?
[19:42] <Aspecti> aoupi, oh well, gonna try it :P if I come back here, it didn't work :)
[19:42] <aoupi> Aspecti: :)
[19:42] <aoupi> loller: I think you can just drag it into theme-manager

[19:42] <yalu> hi. I read about ntfs3G support and how to enable it for your disks at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions/ThirdPartyNTFS3G . I was wondering: isn't there a better way to do it? I would like to be able to just have the ntfs disks recognized as ntfs and be mountable by a user, like I can with vfat-formatted disks
[19:43] <robert_> quit
[19:43] <robert_> :D
[19:43] <aoupi> robert_: here have a /
[19:43] <Neconide> BlehTM: Alright but you should note Windows is a piece of shit, so I'm not sure whether or not it would work as advertised (to fix the partition problem)
[19:44] <Neconide> Can anyone help BLehTM with some partition problems he's having? It appears that he's put his windows booter on a 1gb storage and his actual windows on 249GB storage.
[19:45] <joaopinto> Neconide, the proper channel for windows help is ##windows, not here
[19:45] <Neconide> Oh and BlehTM: While I'm not sure if that could cause any complications, it's only 1GB, if it doesn't mean that much to you I'd suggest you just make another partition.
[19:45] <Gnea> BlehTM: ##windows should be able to help you
[19:45] <BlehTM> I was just there, no answers sadly.  I'll try again.
[19:45] <kura> hi i have a question
[19:45] <kenshin_> BlehTM,  what's the probleme exactly ???
[19:45] <Gnea> kura: please, ask
[19:46] <Neconide> kenshin_: He's put his windows booter on a 1GB partition and the rest on a 249GB partition, when he was trying to make 1GB storage for ubuntu.
[19:46] <NicEXE> I want to format my hdd from ntfs to fat32 but I don't want to loose any of my files. How should I backup (dd command is good but it takes too long)
[19:46] <BlehTM> Yeah- that
[19:46] <kura> I download Ubuntu 8.10 from official site but there is no .iso in folder
[19:46] <Gnea> Neconide: better if you let him explain it
[19:46] <kenshin_> okk ...
[19:46] <aoupi> kura: what did you download?
[19:46] <Neconide> Gnea: he said "Yeah- that"
[19:46] <kura> Ubuntu 8.10 from official site
[19:46] <Gnea> Neconide: that makes no sense and it's still offtopic!
[19:47] <kenshin_> the part that i don;t really understand is  windows booter  on a 1G prtition !?
[19:47] <aoupi> kura: and you did not get the iso?
[19:47] <kura> I have a folder
[19:47] <kenshin_> what is windows booter ?? you mean bootloader ????
[19:47] <aoupi> kura: are you using OSX?
[19:47] <Neconide> Gnea: that makes no sense, what are you talking about?>
[19:47] <stu343> greetings, i need help
[19:47] <kura> No i use Windows
[19:47] <stu343> synaptics auto updates crashed my firefox
[19:47] <kura> but i can't match on downland site that i use windows
[19:47] <stu343> anyone know of the error?
[19:47] <aoupi> kura: when you clicked begin download it should have started downloading an .iso
[19:47] <Gnea> kura: there are only .iso files there, are you sure you're looking at the right file?
[19:48] <blackpearl> Hello RooM :)
[19:48] <kura> http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download
[19:48] <aoupi> stu343: just restart firefox
[19:48] <BlehTM> Neconide - Kenshin:  Kenshin, yeah, the boot sector.  I was about to install Ubuntu on the 1GB, but found some files there like boot_sector.ini for windows or something like that.
[19:48] <kura> From this site
[19:48] <riaal> can I set a local umask in .bashrc?
[19:48] <kura> and i chose location near me
[19:48] <stu343> aoupi: i only get a window without anything in it now
[19:48] <kura> And the downloand starts but file is in rar
[19:48] <aoupi> stu343: even after restarting it?
[19:48] <kenshin_> how the hell did these files end up there ....
[19:48] <aoupi> kura: that's very weird
[19:48] <stu343> reinstall also didnt help
[19:48] <kura> I unpacked and i have a folder
[19:49] <blackpearl> Instlled UBUNTU 8.10 in VirtualBox ..........Yiiipieeee
[19:49] <Gnea> !windows
[19:49] <aoupi> kura: you shouldn't get a rar... are you sure it's a rar and you didn't just mount the iso?
[19:49] <stu343> i only could try to restart computer....
[19:49] <stu343> but why should it help...
[19:49] <kenshin_> any linux partition should be inaccessible to windows ...
[19:49] <aoupi> kura: when you begun the download did you select "Save As:" or did you select "Open With"?
[19:49] <blackpearl> who is the moderaor here ?????????
[19:49] <kenshin_> the only operation you can do is erase to recreate ...
[19:50] <kura> I selext Save as
[19:50] <Neconide> blackpearl: I'm not a moderator but what do you need?
[19:50] <kura> select*
[19:50] <Gnea> blackpearl: what's the problem?
[19:50] <aoupi> kura: hmm... and the file ends with .rar?
[19:50] <kenshin_> and by the way 1G is so not enough ...
[19:50] <stu343> kenshin_: any linux partition should be inaccessible to windows ... << using wupi installer you cant access the one partition you installed ubuntu on
[19:50] <kura> The file name is: ubuntu-8.10-desktop-i386.rar
[19:50] <kenshin_> wupi ?
[19:50] <aoupi> kura: that's very suspect :D
[19:50] <riaal> can I set a local umask in ~/.basrc?
[19:50] <blackpearl> My Ubuntu in VirtualBox is running Fine..BUT i am not able to access my Internnet
[19:51] <stu343> lol
[19:51] <stu343> i dont know how its called
[19:51] <BlehTM> Kenshin - Neconide:  Ok, I'm just going to start over and delete everything.  I have to go now, I made a mess XD
[19:51] <Gnea> stu343: try installing wubi sometime, you'll find that that there are no linux partitions created :)
[19:51] <Neconide> BlehTM: alright, good luck. I hope to hear back from you.
[19:51] <stu343> or wubi, however
[19:51] <kura> Now I download from this same site but from another location
[19:51] <kenshin_> BlehTM,  good idea
[19:51] <aoupi> kura: yea, make sure you get a .iso file
[19:51] <Gnea> blackpearl: nice choice
[19:51] <kenshin_> because trying to salvage this could be  pain in the a** (but doable)
[19:51] <Gnea> er
[19:51] <Gnea> BlehTM: nice choice
[19:51] <kura> And if I still have a problem I make a print screen ok?
[19:52] <aoupi> kura: yea do that
[19:52] <stu343> but what about my firefox problem?
[19:52] <jonek> hi, I have a problem with amarok on intrepid. it does not use font settings (antialiasing) made via systemsettings. why?
[19:52] <FuLio> Hi, when i turned on my laptop, it said it some graphic card problems, so when i got it i changed it back and now i cant change my screen resolution its on 640 x 480 and the rest are lower. how can i make it to 1250 x 1480 or higher
[19:52] <stu343> is there a hotfix or something somewhere?
[19:52] <Gnea> stu343: what firefox problem?
[19:52] <stu343> after the latest auto-updates it didnt work anymore
[19:53] <stu343> it only opens a window with nothing in it
[19:53] <stu343> except that firefox loading symbol
[19:53] <Gnea> blackpearl: are you sure you setup your virtual network devices correctly?
[19:53] <stu343> in the right upper corner
[19:53] <BlehTM> Neconide - Kenshin:  OK, any idea for how to set up the dual boot?  Like how many GB for each?  I'm going to use Windows most the time, so how should I set it up?  Would it work to store the Ubuntu OS on one partition, Windows XP on another, and storage for both of them combined on a separate partition?
[19:53] <Gnea> !pm | blackpearl
[19:53] <Gnea> blackpearl: i tab-completed the wrong nick
[19:53] <kenshin_> BlehTM,  unless you have somthing valuable to loose (besides time)  format reinstall windows (whene installing windows create on partition for windows of the size you want and leave the rest as is )
[19:53] <Gnea> blackpearl: please pay attention
[19:54] <kenshin_> and the install linux ...
[19:54] <Murrlin> afternoon all
[19:54] <Neconide> BlehTM: I chose 65% for windows and the rest for Ubuntu.
[19:54] <kenshin_> grub as a boot loader ans you should have any problems at all
[19:54] <blackpearl> ok ubottu. Thnx. Gnea you agree with him
[19:55] <Gnea> blackpearl: ubottu is a bot...
[19:55] <Neconide> !bot | blackpearl
[19:55] <BlehTM> Neconide:  But is there a way to use a very limited amount of space for each OS, then have another drive for all programs for each, music, games, etc?
[19:55] <BlehTM> *partition
[19:56] <Neconide> BlehTM: I wouldn't know. Sorry.
[19:56] <kenshin_> BlehTM,  the topic of dual boot is so well covered that a simple search using "ubuntu dual boot" in your best friend google should yield a very very long liste of howtos ... you can pick what ever you want
[19:56] <BlehTM> kenshin_:  Ok, will do
[19:56] <Gnea> !partitions | BlehTM
[19:56] <berne> hi all. can you help me with beagle indexing??

[19:57] <albertico> blackpearl, did you enabled networking on virtualbox for your machine?
[19:58] <thebaggage> Hi gang. Having a helluva time trying to get a Sierra 885 3g Modem running in linux (fine in XP). Modem seems to be recognised, but clicking on the connection in network manager returns an immediate "disconnected from network" message. Not looking for a solution so much as how to diagnose what's failing. Any suggestions?
[19:58] <voox> what's the name of a terminal application that slides from the panel via hotkey?
[19:58] <Gnea> blackpearl: please, if you want help, just describe what problem you're having - you don't have to demand that we help you, or say "will you please help?" because that's what we're here for - in many cases, just saying that sort of thing will make people NOT want to help you.
[19:58] <Pici> Neconide: Thats not welcome in this channel.

[20:03] <Mahoodi> hello guys i just got and eee pc 1000 that came with win xp preinstalled, anyone know how to make eeebuntu bootable from a flash drive? im using windows atm
[20:03] <LifesaGarden> metbsd, in a terminal     sudo apt-get update
[20:03] <aoupi> metbsd: in synaptic, hit reload and then mark all updates and then apply, or sudo apt-get update and then sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[20:03] <Gnea> Mahoodi: your best bet is to ask in #ubuntu-eeepc
[20:04] <No-Neck> Mahoodi, I have the same laptop, do you want to make the installer bootable? there's a guide for that in the ubuntu documentation
[20:04] <DasEi> KleRoi:ibex / hardy ?  32 or 64 ?
[20:04] <FMK> Hi, ive got a question: whe i boot my ubuntu installation after finishing is says: "The Anzeige-Server was rebootes 6 times in the last minute"! what can i do to make my ubuntu work

[20:06] <evin> I am having sound issues with intrepid.  It worked fine with hardy but now I can only use one sonud program at a time ie totem or rhythmbox or you tube.

[20:10] <lenswipe> help, i cant update ubutu
[20:10] <lenswipe> please help
[20:10] <lenswipe> it seems like all the mirrors are down
[20:10] <keyhack> How can I install Ubuntu from a USB thumbdrive? I have no CDROM-drive available
[20:10] <Pici> lenswipe: What version of Ubuntu are you using?
[20:11] <prodigel> keyhack, download the iso file and use the tool that comes with ubuntu 8.10
[20:11] <lenswipe> Pici: im using 8.04 hardy, im behind a proxy and ive fed ubuntu all the relevant details (including into synaptic) but it keeps saying connection refused
[20:11] <loller> i`ve just upgrade from 8.04 to 8.10 and now i can`t set the screen resolution my video card is AT x1300
[20:11] <albertico> Booyaka, you can use samba for file sharing with windows
[20:11] <lenswipe> i can access the ubuntu machine through the network as its a webserver
[20:11] <DasEi> KleRoi:open a terminal ..
[20:11] <lenswipe> i just cant update the ubuntu machine
[20:11] <lenswipe> :@
[20:11] <prodigel> lenswipe, try using apt-get with proxy var set up
[20:11] <KleRoi> DasEi:  ok, well i did that and im looking at xorg.conf
[20:12] <KleRoi> DasEi:  this is what it looks like: http://pastebin.com/d2fe9e83c
[20:12] <lenswipe> prodigel: i have set my proxy in synaptic, firefox, and the preferences>Network proxy page
[20:12] <lenswipe> prodigel: i have also got ubuntu working behind a proxy before
[20:12] <lenswipe> prodigel: It has just suddenly stopped working
[20:12] <prodigel> lenswipe, synaptic I don't use. but apt-get worked for me through http proxy
[20:12] <DasEi> KleRoi:save (backup) it under a differnt name, f.e. : xorg.backk
[20:12] <darkhamm> what about a new network manager?
[20:12] <zenlunatic> can anyone recommend some pre-built ubuntu computers?
[20:13] <lenswipe> prodige;: synaptic, uses apt-get therfore if i set a proxy in synaptic it will be effective in apt-get
[20:13] <keyhack> prodigel: the Live USB Creator?
[20:13] <kervel> hello, how is the ubuntu security thing called again (not selinux but ...)
[20:13] <lenswipe> prodigel: Except its not effective in either....
[20:13] <jrib> kervel: apparmor
[20:13] <eddVRS> zenlunatic: Dell do some
[20:13] <DasEi> KleRoi:thats nice, as fglrx is already installed, seems
[20:13] <jrib> !selinux | kervel
[20:13] <kervel> jrib i think an upgrade left me with an unusable system because of that
[20:13] <KleRoi> DasEi: ok i backed it up
[20:13] <prodigel> keyhack, I don't know app name, but in system-adm you have crate bootable usb stick. that worked for me
[20:13] <kervel> jrib kde won't start saying "read only filesystem" all the time
[20:14] <kervel> it fails to set permissions on /tmp files
[20:14] <kervel> (eg dbus socket and so)
[20:14] <dropper_> I am trying to mount my usb stick but it complains it is already mounted
[20:14] <kervel> but it is definately mounted rw
[20:14] <keyhack> prodigel: yeah, that is what I'm doing, it is going extremely slow, and doesn't that just give me a USB thumbdrive that just runs the OS, but I won't be able to install?
[20:14] <DasEi> KleRoi:is it a pcle-card or agp ?
[20:14] <dropper_> but when I try to unmount it complains that it is not mounted
[20:14] <KleRoi> DasEi: erm, what does that mean? u mean motherboard?
[20:14] <kervel> what should the permissions of /tmp be ? mine are drwxrwxrwt
[20:15] <jrib> kervel: what is the output of 'mount'?
[20:15] <DasEi> KleRoi: pci-express or agp - port ?
[20:15] <prodigel> keyhack, it gives you the exact features of that iso
[20:15] <kervel> jrib  it says my "/" is mounted as XFS rw
[20:15] <KleRoi> DasEi: *cough* how do i discover that?
[20:15] <user01> Gnea, thanks! :)
[20:15] <KrimZon> does anyone know where i can find documention for the clearbuntu gtk2 engine?
[20:15] <jrib> kervel: can you write to it?
[20:15] <kervel> yeah
[20:16] <Gnea> user01: cheers :)
[20:16] <DasEi> KleRoi: sudo apt-get install pastebinit
[20:16] <user01> Gnea, ta :)
[20:16] <kervel> and when i start X it bails out saying ".X11-unix" has suspicious permissions. Then i remove .X11-unix in /tmp and x will start, then kde won't start
[20:16] <DasEi> KleRoi: lspci | pastebinit
[20:16] <kervel> i'm desperate .. no errors in log, nothing in dmesg
[20:16] <strN00B> in FreeNX  using client for windows NoNameNX if I make changes to my Ubuntu system that require shutdown, can I shutdown using NoNameFX?
[20:16] <meoblast001> how do you unmount an iso?
[20:17] <KleRoi> DasEi: http://pastebin.com/f2698441b
[20:17] <kervel> when i try to chmod files, it says "read only file system"
[20:17] <Gnea> meoblast001: sudo umount /path/it/is/mounted/on
[20:17] <kervel> but when i try to create files / remove files it works
[20:18] <Gnea> kervel: see if this command works:  sudo apt-get update
[20:18] <jrib> kervel: pastebin the errors you got and the actual output of 'mount'
[20:18] <FuLio> How can i change my screen resolution if its not listed in the screen resolution menu?
[20:18] <kervel> jrib i can't access the net with that pc
[20:18] <jrib> !x > FuLio
[20:18] <Gnea> jrib: he can't start X, firefox won't get him there.
[20:18] <kervel> jrib because networkmanager won't start (because it cannot chown the dbus socket)
[20:18] <kervel> jrib in general chmod won't work ... any other file operations work
[20:18] <Gnea> kervel: you can't ping ubuntu.com?
[20:18] <jrib> kervel: copy them to a sub key or something
[20:19] <kervel> so i think its apparmor that prevents chmods
[20:19] <kervel> Gnea nope, i can't even load my wifi driver
[20:19] <yo> quick question.  and don't ban me, please.  Is there an ubuntu ftp program that does not suck?
[20:19] <kervel> ah no i can
[20:19] <kervel> i can load my wifi driver, but wpa setup won't work without network manager
[20:19] <jrib> !ftp | yo
[20:19] <fosco_> yo: filezilla
[20:19] <TJ-42> I suspect that I may be having hard drive hardware problems.  What command do I use to do a full scan of a hard drive for errors?
[20:19] <kervel> is there a way to boot without apparmor ? i really think that's the caused
[20:20] <RinTinTigger> can anyone help? Ekiga is showing my picture upside down
[20:20] <KleRoi> DasEi: dead? :)

[20:20] <KleRoi> DasEi:  yeah
[20:20] <RinTinTigger> Gnea lol...its laptop-integrated :D but thx
[20:21] <DasEi> KleRoi: is compiz enabled ?
[20:21] <user01> Gnea, ica client isnt the same thing as the web client?
[20:21] <jeebster> Hmm, ftp clients' list doesn't have filezilla...
[20:21] <Gnea> RinTinTigger: :) oh my... uhm... not sure
[20:21] <Gnea> user01: not sure.
[20:21] <KleRoi> DasEi:  i think so, i have some light graphic effect... although this is another question i had to do, i dont see where the compiz settings are in intrepid
[20:21] <akonkwa> i'm having problems with my resolution, I'm on Intrepid, i have just installed restricted nvidia drivers, and now my resolution is set to mximum 640x480 , when before i put the driver it was at 800x600(!), When I was on hardy it was on 1280x1024. I tried changing xorg.conf by adding ad "display" subsection with the correct resolution but it still won't work. Any help?
[20:21] <Murrlin> hello. how do I tell what color mode I'm in? (16 or 24)
[20:21] <raven> is there a hotkey for force quit?
[20:21] <raven> i have some misbehaving apps
[20:22] <raven> if not ill add the gnome applet
[20:22] <RinTinTigger> Anyone to help me? My laptop integrated webcam shows upside down picture with ekiga
[20:22] <Gnea> raven: you can open a terminal and use the kill -9 command in conjunction with the PID of the offending program(s)
[20:23] <madsj> has anybody managed to get eduroam running in ubuntu ? I'm trying to follow this guide: http://www.gbar.dtu.dk/index.php/Eduroam (see Ubuntu), but my network manager misses some of the points
[20:23] <jrib> raven: don't kill -9 unless you have to.  Use 'xkill' if you want
[20:23] <madsj> (keytype, I think and some other ones; am not a university where eduroam is availble)
[20:23] <allele> I am able to mount an iso image in ubuntu, (starcraft), but it doesn't see the iso when running the program, any suggestions?
[20:23] <madsj> am running 8.10
[20:23] <raven> xkill worked quite well
[20:24] <jrib> allele: you want to play starcraft?
[20:24] <akonkwa> i'm having problems with my resolution, I'm on Intrepid, i have just installed restricted nvidia drivers, and now my resolution is set to mximum 640x480 , when before i put the driver it was at 800x600(!), When I was on hardy it was on 1280x1024. I tried changing xorg.conf by adding ad "display" subsection with the correct resolution but it still won't work. Any help?
[20:24] <jrib> !x > akonkwa
[20:25] <allele> at the moment yeah, I have wine installed and was able to install starcraft on wine, but when I try running it it says the cd isn't in the drive
[20:25] <jrib> !appdb > allele
[20:25] <KleRoi> DasEi:  any ideas on whats wrong? is it compiz?
[20:25] <administrator_> is there gui editor for fstab?
[20:26] <visone> irie
[20:26] <strN00B> how can i restart the machine using FreeNX?
[20:26] <allele> ok, sorry if that was offtopic, I figured the problem was getting ubuntu to list the mounted image as another cd drive
[20:26] <mau> I found parted magic live cd
[20:26] <DasEi> KleRoi: I was checking few ideas on that (I#m running a 1600 on a dedicated pciE), compiz is found apps>sys desktop effects I think (actually on hardy here)
[20:26] <kervel> seems i have some serious xfs damage
[20:26] <kervel> but this is completely weird
[20:26] <jonek> how can I affect font setting of KDE3 apps (e.g. amarok) in Ubuntu Intrepid?
[20:26] <mau> Bye!
[20:27] <strN00B> when I go to Shutdown or Restart its just closing the Windows NoMachineNX Client and not the actual machine
[20:27] <DasEi> KleRoi: also my xorg.conf was empty when the blinking occured
[20:27] <kervel> because i don't see xfs complaining in my dmesg
[20:27] <God_> hai pici
[20:27] <KleRoi> DasEi:  mmm this is weird
[20:27] <KleRoi> DasEi:  I could try installing the drivers with Envy? what do you say?

[20:31] <FuLio> Thankyou
[20:31] <LjL> lshw, i meant
[20:31] <kura> What I should do?
[20:32] <DasEi> KleRoi:and also it is a mac ?

[20:33] <AnnoyingMouse_> has anyone actually got flash on 64?
[20:33] <kura> and there is no iso file ;/
[20:33] <jrib> AnnoyingMouse_: flash has worked on 64 for a long time
[20:34] <Jared555> http://paste.ubuntu.com/74934/ <<< is that error most likely a hardware or software issue?
[20:34] <aoupi> AnnoyingMouse_: yea, works nicely for me
[20:34] <AnnoyingMouse_> nope. can't get it stable. installes the new v10 component. no dice
[20:34] <Jared555> I have two supposedly identical cards in the system
[20:34] <aoupi> jrib: adobe just released native 64bit plugin
[20:34] <jrib> aoupi: not stable
[20:34] <AnnoyingMouse_> from apt-get/add-remove?
[20:34] <aoupi> AnnoyingMouse_: you must remove the flashplugins-nonfree package

[20:35] <Buster_Hymen> how do i update to the latest version of wine?  The version i downloaded from the repository (via sudo aptitude install wine) is v 1.0.1  ... my understanding is that later versions provide better support for office 2007
[20:35] <wwpiexec> I have a 16GB usb stick.. I want to partition it.. but whenever I unmount it either from desktop, nautilus, terminal or gparted.. ubuntu simply remounts it its very dangerous to try to working on it in this situation.. this happened on four computers, 2 8.10 and 2 8.04.. my USB is a OCZ ATV 16GB (OCZUSBATV16G)..
[20:35] <jrib> AnnoyingMouse_: just use the version ubuntu provides (32bit plugin with nspluginwrapper that you get automatically by installing flashplugin-nonfree).  The beta 64bit plugin from adobe is crashy in my experience
[20:35] <DasEi> KleRoi:I'm not shure, what's to be done: either you find someone with an integrated graphics, or use hary instead, as it's xorg supports it- to me a manuall config (put fglrx from ubuntu in) helped, but as it looks, there is some prop.loaded - depends on your patience, I guess (email ATI, gnarf)
[20:36] <Slayer> Anyone free to help me?
[20:36] <jrib> Slayer: best to just ask the channel your question.  If someone knows the answer, they will try to answer you
[20:36] <Buster_Hymen> !ask|slayer
[20:36] <Slayer> I'm getting weird errors and having problems installing ndiswrapper.
[20:36] <Buster_Hymen> Slayer:  did you try the tutorial on ubuntu forums?
[20:37] <sludge> Can anyone help me please geting my logitech quickcam webcam to work, I am working now with hardy heron after trying intripid
[20:37] <Slayer> I tried the one that came with it...
[20:37] <Buster_Hymen> Slayer, how do you mean?
[20:37] <Slayer> and I have Xubuntu
[20:37] <aoupi> AnnoyingMouse_: if you decide to go with the 64bit plugin from adobe, put it in /usr/lib/firefox-addons/plugins/
[20:37] <Slayer> and I un-zipped the file and clicked the 'install' file
[20:38] <Buster_Hymen> Slayer:  try the tutorial on ubuntu forums.  it's very complete.
[20:38] <Slayer> has instructions there
[20:38] <Slayer> can you link me?
[20:38] <Buster_Hymen> those instructions can vary greatly i think. yeah let me look for it

[20:39] <Buster_Hymen> How do i update to the latest version of wine?  The version in the repos is 1.0.1 and i thought they were up to 1.0.3 already???
[20:39] <dr_willis> en1gm4,  I do belive that cd players use wav files of a specific rate.. yes...

[20:41] <dr_willis> jgb,  see if the xp boc can ssh to the hardy box?  can it do anything else to the box?
[20:42] <DasEi> KleRoi:thats sounds like a win problem, if it boots up until there
[20:42] <dr_willis> sounds like all the users/dirs got deleted...
[20:43] <dr_willis> Sounds like a problem for #windows :)
[20:43] <albertico> Buster_Hymen, i think 1.0.1 is latest stable

[20:43] <KleRoi> dr_willis: thats what i was afraid of, also because from ubuntu i can see the files that windows have, so its not like they got erased
[20:43] <dr_willis> djungelkraem,  so you can unmount it? and then eject it..
[20:43] <jrib> djungelkraem: you mean "eject icon"?

[20:45] <james296> for some reason after trying to put it in that state, it automatically immediately goes back to the desktop
[20:45] <jgb> dr_willis: nope, nothing connects.  I ran wireshark on the hardy box, and the ping request arrives at the hardy box, but no answer is sent
[20:45] <dr_willis> james296,  often there is no 'fix' because it can be problem with bios non-standard features/quirks in the motherboard, and other  very hard to 'fix' problems.

If anyone is feeling generous, log file is here: http://www.joomlatemplatesearcher.com/sierra885log ....will *happily* send a beer to anyone who can get this thing working. :-)
[20:47] <LjL> scientes: you can't, in ordinary ways
[20:48] <james296> wait nvm I was wrong
[20:48] <james296> I was lookin at the wrong hdd
[20:48] <LjL> scientes: you can, however, manually edit that postinst script and either fix it or put an "exit 0" at the beginning so it's never even executed
[20:48] <LjL> scientes: that's a hack, however
[20:48] <Elmnas> LJL I have removed the applets how do I get it again?
[20:48] <james296> it has 3.08gb of swap space
[20:48] <LjL> Elmnas: right click on that panel, and "Add applet"
[20:48] <scientes> LjL, thats so ugly though
[20:48] <BlastuR> if i generated a ssh key and put it on a remote server with ssh-copy-id, and add it to my ssh-agent using ssh-add, shouldn't I be able to login without a password? does it matter if my local username differs with the username on the server where im trying to login?
[20:49] <james296> like when I put it into suspend it sounds like it shuts down then immediately boots right back up again
[20:49] <djungelkraem> jrib: i dont know what to ask for.. i have a line that worked properly before i reinstalled ubuntu and i saved it and copy + pasted into my current fstab - but doesnt work
[20:49] <jrib> scientes: the fixing part isn't ugly :)
[20:49] <crik91> hi...I'm sorry but I don't speak english very well
[20:49] <jrib> djungelkraem: did you pastebin your fstab?
[20:49] <LjL> scientes, the ugly thing is that a package (especially a kernel!) would fail to postinst to begin with!
[20:49] <djungelkraem> no

[20:50] <crik91> but I can't installing ubuntu...
[20:50] <KleRoi> dr_willis:  its mounted on /dev/sda2 and its ntfc

[20:50] <scientes> Ljl its the nvidia-common post-isntall but nvidia driver worked!
[20:50] <magnetron> thebaggage→ i think i know what's wrong with your setup: you have an incorrect APN set in your Mobile Broadband settings. it's a hostname, sometimes called "data waypoint" or similar by your carrier
[20:50] <Elmnas> ok
[20:50] <lifebug> how can i upgrade my openoffice package from 2.4.1 to 3.0 using the _apt-application?_
[20:50] <LjL> scientes: you should file a bug about it, if you are using official packages only
[20:50] <jrib> djungelkraem: I don't know anything about samba, but I think you need to use cifs now.  See if someone else knows and check:

[20:52] <thebaggage> magnetron: Cheers for the idea. I assume the APN is the "telstra.internet" part(?) It's what I currently have entered, and it works fine through XP. Is it possible a locked modem could interfere with APN?
[20:52] <jgb> dr_willis: static
[20:52] <magnetron> djungelkraem→ skriv cifs, inte smbfs. SMBFS underhålls inte längre i kärnan, CIFS har ersatt det.
[20:53] <jgb> dr_willis: actually, one machine got it's ip from a dhcp server, and the xp box is static
[20:53] <djungelkraem> magnetron: tack!
[20:53] <dr_willis> jgb,  i would double check the network settings.. sounds like they may be on differnt ips. other then that.. not sure - you may want to set both to dhcp.

[20:55] <zsquareplusc> sammy: and apt also uses ftp urls or http? see /etc/apt/sources.list

[20:55] <DasEi> james296: almost not, my nick is DasEi, please put that in your messages;  open a terminal :
[20:55] <magnetron> thebaggage→ the APN should be a valid DNS hostname. as an example, my carrier uses "data.tre.se". you need to ask your carrier to get the correct setting. however, if your modem is locked to another provider it could mess things up. good luck!
[20:55] <dr_willis> jgb,  that dosent really explain much tho. :()   im out of ideas..

[21:01] <sammy> zsquareplusc: nope, no proxys at all.
[21:01] <jack00> joapinto, i've tried also with wine, but i got the same error :(
[21:01] <sammy> Elmnas: in the preferences, you can change how your menu appears. preferences > main menu.
[21:01] <Elmnas> apple bla bla bla configuration is broken you want to delete the confiiguration I said yes
[21:01] <Elmnas> I cant go there man...
[21:01] <zsquareplusc> sammy: so if you copy and paste one of the addresses and use wget instead of apt get, it works?
[21:02] <Elmnas> Its just the icons on the panel and if I click on the ubuntu icon, its like a launcher to the full desktop
[21:02] <allinthefamily> question about frequency scaling monitor in gnome-panel for ibex
[21:02] <sammy> Elmnas: are you sure you have the menu applet in your panel? if you reset your panel defaults, then the applets should appear as they do when you instal ubuntu.
[21:02] <thebaggage> magnetron: Ahh - interesting. The Intrepid Mobile Connection installer suggests telstra.datapack, which works in neither XP nor Linux...I'll keep digging. Cheers.
[21:02] <gusto5> jack00, you could always drop codeweavers a support ticket
[21:02] <Elmnas> the applet I removed it I guess
[21:03] <sammy> Elmnas: try right clicking the panel and adding a main menu applet. or try alt-f1
[21:03] <sammy> zsquareplusc: I was using the ftp program to attach to the server. let me try a wget on the full URL
[21:03] <gusto5> jack00, Sketchup 6 as in the google thing?
[21:03] <Elmnas> doesnt work
[21:03] <jrib> administrator_: no, just use w32codecs from the medibuntu repository
[21:03] <Elmnas> how do I restall
[21:03] <Elmnas> the applets
[21:03] <jrib> !medibuntu > administrator_
[21:03] <Elmnas> I think I have removed it..
[21:03] <Elmnas> sorry
[21:03] <FloodBot1> Elmnas: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[21:03] <Elmnas> ok ok
[21:03] <jack00> gusto, yes, sketchup is a google application
[21:04] <hwilde> is there any web interface based sniffer?  I have apache, can I interface to wireshark or something?
[21:04] <sludge> Does anyone have a working webcam under ubuntu intripid, if so could you please tell me what brand you use :-)
[21:04] <allinthefamily> Question about CPU scaling applet for gnome panel ibex. I have one for each processor (2) but one or both keep disappearing on reboot/resume/wake from suspend. Responds to clicks, but nothing on display.

[21:05] <hwilde> takes  a bit of hacking tho :)
[21:05] <sammy> zsquareplusc: ah-ha! No such file 'debian'. I'll take it up with the repository managers, thanks.
[21:05] <Elmnas> samy how I do restall the applet?
[21:05] <sammy> zsquareplusc: though a no such file should not yield a 'connection timeout' error from apt-get. ill file a bug, too.
[21:05] <Mahoodi> hello guys i just got and eee pc 1000 that came with win xp preinstalled, anyone know how to make eeebuntu bootable from a flash drive? im using windows atm
[21:05] <hwilde> !usb > Mahoodi
[21:06] <sludge> I am just starting with ubuntu, so hacking is just out of my reach right now.
[21:06] <dr_willis> Mahoodi,  the unetbootin tool can make a bootable-live thumbdrive
[21:06] <gusto5> jack00, try this guide on installing OpenGL support in Wine
[21:06] <gusto5> jack00, http://www.howtodude.net/howto/view.article.php/430
[21:06] <Elmnas> sudo apt-get install gnome-applets?
[21:06] <zsquareplusc> Mahoodi: does http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ work?
[21:06] <pavol> has anyone ever tried installing the dislin graphics package?
[21:06] <Melik> hey guys how can i change the "name" of the computer?
[21:06] <dr_willis> !hostname | Melik
[21:06] <sammy> Elmnas: what are you trying to do?
[21:07] <n8tuser> Mahoodi -> doesnt the eeepc have a bios you have to configure to tell it to boot from a usb flash drive?
[21:07] <gusto5> jack00, and as always, give them a shout in #crossover
[21:07] <Elmnas> im in the synaptic manager there, and I havent installed gnome-applets
[21:07] <BlackDex> Is there a way to preserve the iwconfig wlan0 rate 24M settings? Everytime i reboot it looses these settings.
[21:07] <n8tuser> BlackDex -> try setting that in /etc/network/interfaces file
[21:07] <Elmnas> either gnome-applets-dbg
[21:08] <jack00> thanks, i'll do
[21:08] <sammy> Elmnas: what are you trying to do now? if you're just missing your menu, right clicking on the panel and clicking 'add to panel' should give you a list of things you can add to the panel, and one of them should be 'main menu'
[21:08] <Melik> dr_willis, i don't see a Networking on the general tab; /
[21:09] <Mahoodi> dr_willis, is that tool hard to use or simple?
[21:09] <Elmnas> umm brb
[21:09] <BlackDex> n8tuser: Thx i will try that
[21:09] <allinthefamily> can anyone help me with disappearing cpu freq scaling applets?
[21:09] <BlackDex> n8tuser: do i just add iwconfig wlan0 rate 24M or something??
[21:10] <stealthy45> Need some serious help here sharing a printer.
[21:10] <JackEStorm> ok, so, apt-get dist-upgrade kicks back " E: Internal Error, Could not perform immediate configuration (2) on libc6"  does apt-get have a hidden option to trace the upgrade process?
[21:10] <n8tuser> BlackDex -> man interfaces   to give you a sample of what needs to be in that file
[21:10] <stealthy45> I'm trying to share a printer on an Ubuntu 8.10 box over my home network with my Windows boxes
[21:10] <bonsai> i need to ask a question
[21:11] <bonsai> i have a computer with windows xp
[21:11] <stealthy45> Whenever I try to add this printer on the Windows boxes, I'm prompted for adriver. No matter which driver I choose (Correct one isHP 895Cse), I'm told that I can't connect to the printer.
[21:11] <bonsai> and i am sharing a printer on that machine
[21:11] <stealthy45> What shoud I do to fix that?
[21:11] <bonsai> and i have a work station with ubuntu 8.04 server edition
[21:11] <erUSUL> bonsai: all in one line please
[21:11] <bonsai> i am using a switch,not a router and ubuntu is not finding the shared printer
[21:11] <mmcji> howdee
[21:12] <sgraham> ok im trying to use the gnome frontend for rdesktop. (Mainly becuase it has an option for tunneling via ssh)  But that is the one thing i cant seem to get to work right
[21:12] <bonsai> what should i do?
[21:12] <dr_willis> Mahoodi,  unetbootin - a few clicks and its done
[21:12] <chino> how do i cahnge the handler for jpg ?
[21:12] <eddVRS> mmcji: hi
[21:12] <chino> so when i click on it
[21:12] <chino> it uses the image viewer ?
[21:12] <dr_willis> !changedefaults
[21:12] <joaopinto> bonsai, do you have connectivity to the printer? can you ping it ?
[21:12] <dr_willis> Hmm...
[21:12] <mmcji> anyone know of a good linux application  to convert .swf to .exe?
[21:12] <bonsai> of course
[21:12] <joaopinto> mmcji, .exe on linux ??
[21:12] <bonsai> i amd trying to connect using samba too
[21:12] <dr_willis> chino,  right click on a file and in its properties you can change that.
[21:12] <mmcji> eddVRS: hi back
[21:12] <dr_willis> !defaultapps
[21:12] <bonsai> but there's nothing shared for the ubuntu
[21:13] <stealthy45> I've been googling this all day. I can ping the ubuntu machine fine and access the samba shares
[21:13] <sludge> I like to get into the ubuntu scene and leave windows xp. I am having trouble getting some vital parts of my system to work. Does ubuntu have a list of supported hardware and if so where can i find it?
[21:13] <stealthy45> but upon trying to use the shard printer, I'm told I can't connect to it.
[21:13] <bonsai> i can ping the machine that there is the printer installed and shared on int
[21:13] <dr_willis> !hardware
[21:13] <bonsai> of course,i can ping the machine
[21:13] <mmcji> joaopinto: yes, i am creating a presentation in flash but want to deliver it in a single file.
[21:13] <joaopinto> bonsai, you need to know what type of sharing does the printer provide, usually its either jetdirect (9001) or samba (windows alike)
[21:13] <dr_willis> stealthy45,  this shared printer is on a Ubuntu box? or a windows box?
[21:13] <joaopinto> mmcji, so you mean to create a binary, not an .exe
[21:13] <djungelkraem> magnetron: att ändra till cifs?
[21:14] <stealthy45> dr_willis: The printer is on the Ubuntu box, set up and working, able to print jobs from the Ubuntu box.
[21:14] <mmcji> i want to stay away from java as we have dependency issues with other java apps we use in the office.
[21:14] <adi_> hi all
[21:14] <bonsai> i tried using samba,but nothing
[21:14] <djungelkraem> magnetron: det funkade inte att ändra till cifs*
[21:14] <joaopinto> mmcji, or you really want a .exe to be run on windows ?
[21:14] <bonsai> i am trying to use a wireless router and the try to find the printer
[21:14] <adi_> how to turn off the beep on ubuntu interpid
[21:14] <AzizLight> hi everybody
[21:14] <magnetron> djungelkraem→ du måste installera stöd för CIFS först. har du gjort det?
[21:14] <sgraham> anyone worked with that.  Im trying to work from a liunx box I need to tunnel through another linux box to a network on the other side that has windows machiens on it.  I usually use vnc with the via switch but in this case these windows boxes do not have vncservers on them and they do have rdp running on them so i wanted to just use the via command with rdp, no luck on that though
[21:14] <dr_willis> stealthy45,  I belive the smb.conf file has some 'guest' options in it to allow the windows users to print without logging into the linux box.. Otherwise Int he past ive had to have the windows users connect to a 'share' on the ubuntu box, befor they could print..
[21:15] <djungelkraem> magnetron: nope - vilket paket?
[21:15] <adi_> everytime I start ubuntu and shut down it make a terrible beep
[21:15] <carpii> is there a better archive manager for kde, than Ark? Im finding it really dreadful :(
[21:15] <s0l1dsnak3123> bonsai: you need to use samba
[21:15] <dr_willis> stealthy45,  i also tend to set up linux and windows users with same name and password. (and samba password, sudo smbpasswd -a USERNAME)
[21:15] <AzizLight> is ext3 readable by os x?
[21:15] <mmcji> yes, it will be run on XP PC's.  I wish we had ubuntu at work, but we do not.  I am already hosting the swf via webserver, but need the ability to distribut the training material as well
[21:15] <bonsai> i tried to use samba
[21:15] <adi_> does anyone have that beep when shut down interpid
[21:15] <dr_willis> adi_,  ive noticed that shutdown beep also.. its annoying. :)
[21:15] <magnetron> djungelkraem→ paketet heter "smbfs"
[21:15] <mmcji> also, I am open to other ideas as well
[21:15] <stealthy45> dr_willis: Needless to say, I'm at wit's end with this.
[21:15] <adi_> yeah
[21:15] <LjL> carpii: i don't know of any, but try asking in #kubuntu as well
[21:16] <adi_> what can we do?
[21:16] <s0l1dsnak3123> bonsai, check this tutorial out:
[21:16] <bonsai> i try to install a fresh install of ubuntu and i'll install again the samba
[21:16] <carpii> thanks LjL
[21:16] <stealthy45> dr_willis: Guests are allowed.
[21:16] <zsquareplusc> mmcji: youln't you just wrap it in a html page and use the browser's plugin?
[21:16] <sgraham> and is there a simple way to make a shortcut to your home dir onto the desktop in gnome??
[21:16] <Dave__> hi everybody, i've a problem in using my EPL-5900 epson printer in Intrepid, ubuntu knows my printer but when i order to print a document, nothing will happen
[21:16] <adi_> once I knew some command like pckrg
[21:16] <djungelkraem> magnetron: kan jag itne bara köra med smbfs då istället i fstab? eller är cifs bättre?
[21:16] <techqber1> NetworkManager on Ubuntu 8.10 doesn't support TKIP?  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=938469
[21:16] <adi_> or somthing like that
[21:16] <magnetron> djungelkraem→ CIFS är *mycket* bättre.
[21:16] <mmcji> zsquareplusc: i have that setup right now
[21:17] <n8tuser> mmcji -> look into downloadable executable jar
[21:17] <dr_willis> stealthy45,  there goes that idea then.. Try identical usernames on both machines?  try connecting to some other share first.. (i know its weird. but ive had to do that in the past)
[21:17] <djungelkraem> magnetron: ok tack :)
[21:17] <LjL> djungelkraem, magnetron: fattat att ni är i #ubuntu inte #ubuntu-se här? ;)
[21:17] <stealthy45> dr_willis: I have also tried that. I'm sitting on the file share.
[21:17] <JoeDaMac> Anyone have an ideas regarding this problem? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=988507
[21:17] <magnetron> LjL→ ja :)
[21:17] <mmcji> but I need to get the training to folks that do not have access to our training server...ie folks on the road..etc...
[21:17] <djungelkraem> magnetron: i will test rebooting then :)
[21:17] <mmcji> n8tuser: I will thank you
[21:17] <adi_> also I noticed that the shutdown window with icons (hibernate suspend restart etc) is not the same on interpid
[21:17] <dr_willis> stealthy45,  i guess the only thing left would be to enable verbose logging in the samba server, and cups server to see whats going on..
[21:17] <histo> Need help trying to specify monitor settings in xorg.conf to get to my native resolution but X crashes if I enter them.
[21:18] <Guest98020> hi
[21:18] <histo> shouldn't say crashes it restarts
[21:18] <magnetron> djungelkraem→ "sudo mount -a" should be enough

[21:18] <Dave__> hi everybody, i've a problem in using my EPL-5900 epson printer in Intrepid, ubuntu knows my printer but when i order to print a document, nothing will happen
[21:18] <adi_> this beep is very annoying
[21:18] <zsquareplusc> mmcji: you can also zip the html and flash files to do offline distributions. or the scrapbook plugin for FF can package a webite inclusive images and subpages into a folder
[21:18] <s0l1dsnak3123> bonsai, http://www.unix-tutorials.com/go.php?id=577
[21:19] <n8tuser> Dave__ -> is your cups enabled? look for the ppd files for it?
[21:19] <JoeDaMac> So, first time trying to boot off the livecd, text only install, on multiple versions. Same problem with all of them, I get *no video*, whatsoever, from the moment my Mac Mini starts to boot from the CD
[21:19] <JoeDaMac> no command prompts, splash screens, anything
[21:19] <adi_> it wakes up my room mate at 3 a'clock in the moring
[21:19] <JoeDaMac> I do hear the Ubuntu *chime* after about 2-3 minutes
[21:19] <Dave__> hi everybody, i've a problem in using my EPL-5900 epson printer in Intrepid, ubuntu knows my printer but when i order to print a document, nothing will happen
[21:19] <adi_> can anyone help?
[21:19] <sludge> Thank you Ubottu you just solved my problems :-)
[21:20] <schmrz> adi_: what beep?
[21:20] <Reggy_Love> i need help to auto mount external ntfs hard disk's, not only one hardsik called somthing, i would like it just as in windows where every disk i plug in just works. im using a dell inspiron 6000 and have a fresh ubuntu 8.10 install.
[21:20] <zsquareplusc> adi_: try to write your question on _one_ line. its hard to follow you
[21:20] <stealthy45> dr_willis: To be more specific in my issue, when I connect to the printer, I get an error saying that the server does not have the correct driver installed, and to choose the most appropriate one. So I choose the right driver, click "ok", and am told "Windows cannot connect to the printer. Access is denied."
[21:20] <adi_> I get a terrible beep every time i shutdown interpid
[21:21] <Dave__> i've a problem in using my EPL-5900 epson printer in Intrepid, ubuntu knows my printer but when i order to print a document, nothing will happen,anyone can help?
[21:21] <n8tuser> !repeat | Dave__
[21:21] <adi_> it sound like a bios beep cause it beeps even with the speakers of my laptop muted
[21:22] <meoblast001> how do DLL's get copied to the .wine folder when you upgrade wine... i just "upgraded" wine by merging a mandriva package with my filesystem
[21:22] <n8tuser> meoblast001 -> perhaps you can as the nice folks in #winehq  ?
[21:22] <zsquareplusc> adi_: somtimes there is a PC-speaker channel in the volume controls
[21:22] <meoblast001> ok
[21:22] <Dave__> exit
[21:22] <JoeDaMac> Is there a way to change resolutions, blindly, in Ubuntu? My display is out of range when I try to use the LiveCD or the alternate install.
[21:22] <ohubuntu> where could i change the power settings, like disabling standby and the monitor turning off?
[21:22] <adi_> dell inspiron 6400/1505
[21:23] <n8tuser> ohubuntu -> did you look in your bios if you have those settings?
[21:23] <erUSUL> JoeDaMac: try 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg' from the recovery mode root shell
[21:23] <ohubuntu> yes, they're not in there
[21:23] <sandra28ans> bonsoir
[21:23] <n8tuser> !who
[21:23] <zsquareplusc> JoeDaMac: the laternate cd has a text mode install :-)  or maybe ctrl+alt+keypad+/- changes the resolution
[21:23] <JoeDaMac> Thanks erUSUL, but, how do I get to the recovery mode? I can't actually see anything onscreen.
[21:24] <ohubuntu> my real problem is i'm using virtual box and if my computer screen turns off after 20 minutes or so, my keyboard stops working in virtual box
[21:24] <dookdook> i think i'm having some versioning issues with java 1.4 vs. java 1.5...doing apt-cache search java i only see j2sdk1.4 and i need 1.5 or later...do i need to install this myself?
[21:24] <erUSUL> JoeDaMac: not even grub menu??
[21:24] <JoeDaMac> I see *nothing*
[21:24] <joaopinto> oholiks, try asking on #vbox
[21:24] <JoeDaMac> from the moment the cd starts to load
[21:24] <histo> I have nviddia drivers install and I can only get to a resolution of 1024x768 although my monitor suports 1920x1200
[21:25] <histo> I need help getting to that res
[21:25] <erUSUL> JoeDaMac: ooops it is the livecd... i though it was a installed system
[21:25] <maxxist> histo did you run nvidia-settins
[21:25] <joaopinto> dooglus, you shoud use openjdk-6-jre, unless you have strong need to use other version
[21:25] <keyhack> I booted Ubuntu 7.10 Live CD on OS X using VMWare Fusion, and use the "Create USB startup disk", and it successfully completes. I place it into the new PC, and I just get "Boot error" at startup. Any ideas?
[21:25] <maxxist> histo did you run nvidia-settings
[21:25] <erUSUL> JoeDaMac: you can not use safe graphics mode?
[21:25] <zsquareplusc> dookdook: how about sun-java6-jdk or openjdk-6-jdk
[21:25] <Mahoodi_> if i install eeebuntu with unetbootin will it erase windows or duel boot after installation?
[21:25] <histo> maxxist, no
[21:25] <JoeDaMac> nope, live cd, and I've tried the alternate text only, erUSUL
[21:26] <JoeDaMac> erUSUL, how would I go about doing that?
[21:26] <maxxist> histo try running sudo nvidia-settings and use it to identify your monitor
[21:26] <erUSUL> JoeDaMac: well the alternatecd was my next suggestion
[21:26] <JoeDaMac> should've mentioned this is literally my first taste of linux
[21:26] <JoeDaMac> yeah, tried that, erUSUL
[21:26] <JoeDaMac> same problem
[21:26] <n8tuser> Mahoodi -> doesnt the eeepc have a bios you have to configure to tell it to boot from a usb flash drive?
[21:26] <dookdook> zsquareplusc, i'm agnostic.  whatever works...should i just apt-get those?
[21:26] <erUSUL> JoeDaMac: the alternatecd uses a text based installer... it is very weird you can not see anyting with it either...
[21:26] <zsquareplusc> Mahoodi_: i think you use it to prepare a USB stick which you will boot on the EEEPC. when the distributuin runs the ubuntu installer (i dont know if it is) it will as you what do you with the HD
[21:26] <djungelkraem> magnetron: didnt work :(
[21:27] <keyhack> zsquareplusc: wish that was the case for me
[21:27] <Reggy_Love> i need help to auto mount external ntfs hard disk's, not only one hardsik called somthing, i would like it just as in windows where every disk i plug in just works. im using a dell inspiron 6000 and have a fresh ubuntu 8.10 install.
[21:27] <magnetron> djungelkraem→ what was that fstab again?
[21:27] <Mahoodi_> zsquareplusc, thanks
[21:27] <JoeDaMac> erUSUL, it is strange, but whatever resolution its trying to use is out of range. I know it loads eventually, as I can hear the Ubuntu chime after about 2-3 minutes
[21:27] <djungelkraem> magnetron: tested with both smbfs, cifs
[21:27] <iaindalton> Has anyone gotten an Xbox 360 controlly to work in Ubuntu 8.10?
[21:27] <djungelkraem> magnetron: ill look it up
[21:27] <histo> maxxist, yes i've run this it does nothing
[21:27] <zsquareplusc> dookdook: there is also a -5 package these correspond to 1.5 and 1.6 iirc. install whichever provider you like more.
[21:28] <dookdook> zsquareplusc, how does that work?
[21:28] <James296> ok back
[21:28] <JoeDaMac> erUSUL, is there some straightforward way I can open up a command prompt, and enter something that will change my display to a specific, or different, resolution?
[21:28] <JoeDaMac> blindly, of course
[21:28] <maxxist> histo it didnt detect the monitor?
[21:28] <tzunami> sal all
[21:28] <zsquareplusc> dookdook: hm? what do you mean exactly?
[21:29] <erUSUL> JoeDaMac: all i can suggest is to try another ubuntu version like 8.04 LTS then you can upgrade (if it installs)
[21:29] <histo> maxxist, correct its just detected as CRT 0 though its an LCD 23"
[21:29] <unop> JoeDaMac, xrandr -s 1024x768
[21:29] <JoeDaMac> erUSUL =(, tried that...
[21:29] <maxxist> brb
[21:29] <JoeDaMac> unop, I can't actually see anything while booting, what would I do to be able to enter that command?
[21:29] <zsquareplusc> JoeDaMac: if you're doing that from an other sceen you might need to set DISPLAY=:0
[21:30] <dookdook> zsquareplusc, are you saying that there is a 1.5 package that i can download?  or that i can use apt-get for? (is -5 an option of some sort or you're just referring to the j2sdk version?)
[21:30] <erUSUL> JoeDaMac: tried switching to a virtual terminal? Crtl + alt + f1 (or f 23 4 5) ??
[21:30] <JackEStorm> apt-get dist-upgrade kicks back "E: Internal Error, Could not perform immediate configuration (2) on libc6" ...how can I find the real error?
[21:30] <pavol64> has anyone ever tried to setup the dislin graphics package for c++ on linux?
[21:30] <reconn> hi, my notebook display brightness gets dimmed when I dont move the mouse or press a key for 1 min
[21:30] <zsquareplusc> dookdook: ah. i mean there is a sun-java5-jdk as well as a sun-java6-jdk
[21:30] <JoeDaMac> erUSUL Ok, now we're getting somewhere. When would I switch to a virtual terminal, after I hear the Ubuntu *chime*?
[21:31] <JoeDaMac> or immediately at startup?
[21:31] <reconn> hi, my notebook display brightness with Ubuntu 8.10 gets dimmed when I dont move the mouse or press a key for 1 min ||| where can I turn this off? "DIm Display"-box is unticked in power management.
[21:31] <zsquareplusc> JoeDaMac: maybe you can switch to the text console using ctrl+alt+f1. it works on PC like machines.. dont know about macs
[21:31] <erUSUL> JoeDaMac: yep. but i'm not really  sure if the livecd has VTs but you can try
[21:32] <James296> !DasEi may I pm you again?
[21:32] <JoeDaMac> so, try that, and type in xrandr -s 1024x768, enter, and it should change my display's resolution?
[21:32] <Reggy_Love> cant i setup ubuntu so that it mounts any usb hard disk i plug in ?
[21:32] <gusto5> reconn, did you set it for plugged in power and battery?
[21:32] <PriceChild> Anyone here set up an exchange account with evolution, but most importantly... openned a second mailbox?
[21:32] <DasEi> James296: why ?
[21:32] <James296> so we can continue talking about whats going on here
[21:33] <Buster_Hymen> how do i install wine 1.1.7?
[21:33] <Buster_Hymen> i have 1.0.1 from the repos
[21:33] <dookdook> zsquareplusc, or i could roll back the jre...but i only see java5 and java6, which i'm assuming are 1.5 and 1.6 resp....why is the jre and j2sdk mismatched?
[21:33] <James296> I typed in what you told me to and it says /dev/sdb1: clean, 151076/4685824 files, 1325473/18737806 blocks
[21:33] <Buster_Hymen> !wine|Buster_Hymen
[21:33] <DasEi> James296: no need to pm, just put my nick in front your answers (no "!") needed (ro-bot trigger)
[21:33] <DasEi> !brain
[21:33] <zsquareplusc> dookdook: actually, i dont know.. i dont use java - i use python :-)
[21:34] <erUSUL> Buster_Hymen: winehq has an up to date ubuntu repo
[21:34] <JoeDaMac> so, just in case anyone else has any ideas, here's a synopsis of my problem: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=988507
[21:34] <DasEi> James296: open a terminal...
[21:34] <James296> DasEi ok
[21:34] <dookdook> zsquareplusc, personally not a big fan of java, but i'm trying to get a processing example going...
[21:34] <Buster_Hymen> erUSUL:  thanks, do you happen to know what it is or how to find it?
[21:34] <James296> its already open
[21:34] <DasEi> James296: sudo apt-get install pastebinit
[21:34] <maxxist> histio so you even tried hitting the  the identify button in nvidia-settings and nothing?
[21:34] <info_> =( linux and printers are no friends
[21:35] <DasEi> James296: sudo  fdisk -l pastebinit
[21:35] <n8tuser> info_ -> wrong, do not be mis-informed
[21:35] <DasEi> James296: sudo  fdisk -l | pastebinit          ,sry
[21:35]  * zsquareplusc has a PS printer that is a frient to linux :-)
[21:35] <erUSUL> Buster_Hymen: google
[21:35] <maxxist> histio i meant detect displays  under X Server Display Configuration.
[21:35] <erUSUL> Buster_Hymen: winehq + ubuntu + repo
[21:35] <Buster_Hymen> erUSUL:  fair enough =)  thanks very much
[21:36] <AzizLight> is there a way to reset/reload a terminal (the equivalent of opening a new tab/window and closing the current one) using bash?
[21:36] <JackEStorm> so no ideas on my problem?
[21:36] <info_> my epson makes problem and no printjob is working
[21:36] <sinuc> AzizLight: reset
[21:36] <James296> it cant find pastebinit...
[21:36] <reconn> gusto5 there are only two tabs. one's "On AC Power" and one "General". in the latter there is no dim option
[21:36] <erUSUL> AzizLight: "crtl + l" or "clear"
[21:36] <gusto5> reconn, you dont have a "on battery power" tab?
[21:37] <reconn> nope
[21:37] <gusto5> reconn, you did say notebook yes?
[21:37] <reconn> yes.
[21:37] <AzizLight> erUSUL: clear just clears the screen. I want to reset the terminal literraly
[21:37] <sinuc> erUSUL: thats just clearing the buffer of the terminal emulator
[21:37] <KleRoi> hello, I have 2 partitions on my hd, one with ubuntu and one with windows xp. before yesterday everything worked fine and I could load any of the 2 os with grub, but today i formatted the partition with ubuntu and reinstalled it (8.10, intrepid) and now I'm not able to load windows xp anymore: after i choose xp from the grub menu and the splash screen finishes loading it gets me to the welcome screen where i would normally choose my user and put the pw to l
[21:37] <gusto5> reconn, that is bizarre
[21:37] <sinuc> AzizLight: reset ; source /etc/profile - should  do the job
[21:37] <reconn> gusto5 a friend of mine has the same problem afaik
[21:37] <reconn> he too uses a notebook with intrepid
[21:37] <AzizLight> sinuc: im on mac, I tried reset but I get a massage saying Erase is delete (and then on a new line) Interrupt is Control-C (^C)
[21:38] <wasabi> Are there any good free softare packages that can 'make ubuntu secure' against resource allocation attacks, like fork bombs, exhausting memory, etc?
[21:38] <sdfwsfw> does ubuntu remove the cached packages after they're installed? i'm using like 30gb and nothing is in /home....
[21:38] <wasabi> That is, without me tweaking everything myself. :0
[21:38] <DrX> i created dir/subdir1 and dir/subdir2 but my clients cannot access either.  I gather this is a permissions issue, so how do i set permissions on /dir so that anything created under it automatically assumes the permissions given to /dir ?
[21:38] <Ximal> What command or website on my localhost should i be visiting to run the program cgiirc
[21:38] <James296> DasEi: it cant find pastebinit...
[21:38] <chino> help... how do i change the default handler when i click on a jpg ?
[21:38] <Buster_Hymen> erUSUL:  once i've added the repository i just need to run sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude upgrade, correct?
[21:38] <sinuc> hm, dunno then, no clue about this macstuff
[21:38] <sinuc> they may have changed a few or too much stuff
[21:38] <mewshi> I'm having trouble with my network connection; when I right click the networkmanager applet icon, and go to edit connections, then to 'wireless' , then the network I want to configure, I try to set it as the "System Setting" by checking the box, then I click "Ok" then I go back in and the box has unchecked itself!  What do I do?
[21:38] <erUSUL> wasabi: a fokbomb is easily avoided with a nprocs hardlimit in /etc/security/limits.conf
[21:38] <sinuc> or rather is more bsd alike than like
[21:39] <DasEi> !paste | James296
[21:39] <gusto5> reconn, intrepid if i may inquire?
[21:39] <erUSUL> Buster_Hymen: correct or use the update manager
[21:39] <Buster_Hymen> erUSUL:  okay. looks like it worked.  thanks again!
[21:39] <wasabi> erUSUL: Yeah, I bet there's a lot of various tweaks. I'm wondering about something that does them all 'right' and leaves me with a useful system still. :0
[21:39] <DasEi> James296: sudo  fdisk -l                       , paste the out from cmd to paste-link
[21:39] <erUSUL> Buster_Hymen: no problem
[21:39] <Mahoodi> i used unetbootin to make a bootable usb stick for eeebuntu installation on my eee pc, i checked if all the files are on the usb that are need for the installation and they are... problem is i want it be recognised at boot time, and its not
[21:40] <erUSUL> wasabi: i have « *                hard    nproc           2048 » line on that file
[21:40] <unperson> How do I get Ubuntu to boot to multiuser but text only?  On old-style unix, you could do this by going to runlevel 3, but it seems that on Ubuntu there's all runlevels above 1 are equivalent.
[21:40] <unperson> (well, except 6 :)  )
[21:40] <wasabi> erUSUL: Anyway to just penalize the app doing the forking, and slow it down in a way that makes the rest of the system usable?
[21:40] <teratoma> unperson: disable gdm
[21:40] <zsquareplusc> Mahoodi: press ESC when EEEpc is booting. you shoudl be able to select the USB drive to boot from
[21:40] <mewshi> I'm having trouble with my network connection; when I right click the networkmanager applet icon, and go to edit connections, then to 'wireless' , then the network I want to configure, I try to set it as the "System Setting" by checking the box, then I click "Ok" then I go back in and the box has unchecked itself!  What do I do?
[21:41] <Mahoodi> thanks
[21:41] <James296> ok I got it DasEi
[21:41] <DasEi> James296: url ?
[21:41] <unperson> teratoma, Right. So, short of removing gdm, how do I set it not to start on boot?
[21:41] <gusto5> reconn, can you pastebin your 'gnome-power-bugreport.sh for me?
[21:41] <James296> http://pastebin.com/f57649347
[21:41] <teratoma> unperson: 'disable' it, you don't have to remove it
[21:41] <Garnol9155> Hi people. How can i add my keyboard media buttons to the shortcuts manager?
[21:41] <unperson> teratoma, I know in principle I should be able to edit some rc scripts, but is there a better way?
[21:42] <Freeaqingme> I'm looking for some app to edit layered png files. Is there anything out there that is able to do so except for Adobe Fireworks?
[21:42] <Garnol9155> Linux does not seem to recognize them :(
[21:42] <erUSUL> wasabi: no it just caps the number of processes an user can spawn... 2048 is enough for a desktop user but it does not bring a machine to its knees
[21:42] <histo> Okay I need to fix my resolution problems Currently max resolution is 1024x768. I have nvidia drivers installed and working and my monitor supports 1920x1200 Thats what I want ot run.
[21:42] <Buster_Hymen> I'm drawing a blank... what's the command to run a .sh script?
[21:42] <DasEi> James296: sudo umount -a
[21:42] <Crewsr3> Hi my parents have a ubuntu hardy box that I have remote access set up on, but the computer will no longer boot up  It can see the router but but I cannot ssh into it.  The error that is coming up during boot is DRDY err  The forms make it sound like it is a hard drive issue
[21:42] <teratoma> unperson: what do you want?  magic faerie dust?  just turn off gdm.  install the package sysv-rc
[21:42] <mewshi> I'm having trouble with my network connection; when I right click the networkmanager applet icon, and go to edit connections, then to 'wireless' , then the network I want to configure, I try to set it as the "System Setting" by checking the box, then I click "Ok" then I go back in and the box has unchecked itself!  What do I do?
[21:42] <DasEi> sudo e2fsck -p /dev/sdb1
[21:42] <iaindalton> Has anyone gotten an Xbox 360 controlly to work in Ubuntu 8.10?  I'm getting errors compiling the source: http://pastebin.ca/1263043
[21:42] <n8tuser> unperson ->   system->administration->services  and disable it there
[21:43] <James296> it says the device is busy
[21:43] <DrX> how do i set permissions on /dir so that new subdirectories (e.g., /dir/sub1, /dir/sub2, etc) created by any user inherit the permissions given to /dir ?
[21:43] <n8tuser> mewshi -> you have 8.10 installed?
[21:43] <James296> it says its clean
[21:43] <mewshi> No one can help me?
[21:44] <Buster_Hymen> !patience|mewshi
[21:44] <n8tuser> DrX -> its not how it works, look into  umask
[21:44] <unperson> n8tuser, A good suggestion.  In this case it happens that the system freezes in the process of starting gdm, though, so it's a no go.
[21:44] <erUSUL> DrX: sudo chmod g+s dir/
[21:44] <DasEi> !who | James296
[21:44] <mewshi> Well, I've been waiting... -_-
[21:44] <Crewsr3> Does anyone know what a DRDY error could be, is it mean that a hard drive has failed?
[21:44] <leeping2008> Hey there, in gnome-terminal how do I exit a program that's running and go back to the shell?
[21:45] <erUSUL> Crewsr3: or the (s)ata chip or the cabling...
[21:45] <Buster_Hymen> mewshi:  we all wait for some time.  I think the greeting message states you might have to wait an hour or more.  You can always use that time to start a thread on ubuntu forums
[21:45] <Crewsr3> ATA or the old IDE
[21:45] <DasEi> sudo e2fsck -p /dev/sdb2          ,james296
[21:45] <n8tuser> DrX -> erUSUL is correct i forgot about those setuid stuff..hehe
[21:45] <DasEi> leeping2008: ctrl & c
[21:45] <Crewsr3> erUSUL, ATA or the old IDE cable
[21:45] <Guest21388> .
[21:45] <leeping2008> DasEi, that's not what I wanted, sorry .. I wanted to leave the program running like a daemon
[21:46] <James296> DasEi: Attempt to read block from filesystem resulted in short read while trying to open /dev/sdb2
[21:46] <leeping2008> Like how I can run a program and retain shell control by typing in "program &"
[21:46] <James296> Could this be a zero-length partition?
[21:46] <erUSUL> Crewsr3: ? well it can be anything on the chain
[21:46] <iaindalton> leeping2008: Ctrl-Z
[21:46] <tj83> hello all, I need a application for ubuntu that will allow me to use my phone modem to record inbound and outbound calls. anyone make a suggestion?
[21:46] <leeping2008> iaindalton, thanks!
[21:46] <iaindalton> leeping2008: I do what I can
[21:46] <DrX> n8tuser: i believe that did the trick, thanks!!
[21:46] <Crewsr3> erUSUL, Should I unplug the hard drive (it is a secondardy one)
[21:47] <DasEi>  9332        9733   ,james296, not really
[21:47] <iaindalton> leeping2008: When you want to bring that app to the fore again, type fg
[21:47] <DrX> erUSUL: sorry, thanks!
[21:47] <James296> no thats what the message says
[21:47] <erUSUL> Crewsr3: i really dunno... as i said it coulb be software bug or just a loose cable
[21:47] <erUSUL> Crewsr3: see here http://ata.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Libata_error_messages
[21:47] <leeping2008> wow, sweet :) Two and a half years of using Linux and I never thought ..
[21:47] <erUSUL> Crewsr3: maybe you can decode the exact meaning
[21:48] <erUSUL> Crewsr3: you have the entire system log
[21:48] <DasEi> James296: gparted
[21:48] <johann_> hi...i want a program to use my remote control at pctv stereo tv-tuner..thx in advance

[21:49] <DasEi> James296: gparted ?
[21:49] <erUSUL> DrX: no problem
[21:50] <Guest47742> anyone experienced with update-grub?

[21:51] <histo> Why doesn't intrepid not accept settings changes to xorg.
[21:51] <kev19346247> applications canot lock the directory
[21:51] <Crewsr3> erUSUL, I'm trying to help my Dad figure this out from a 1000 miles away.  He knows next to knowing about linux
[21:51] <kev19346247> when trying to install

[21:51] <edgimar> In X-chat, what do greyed out users mean (in the user-list)?
[21:51] <maxxist> histio you need to run the app with a sudo

[21:52] <Din|BSD> edgimar: means they are away
[21:52] <histo> I need to change my resolution to 1920x1200 but I can only go to 1024x768. I have the nvidia driver installed and working. I've run nvidia-settings I've tried putting modes in xorg.conf manually but not luck.
[21:52] <James296> should I have it check sdba which is my primary Windows HDD?
[21:52] <edgimar> Din|BSD: how is this determined?
[21:52] <wos1> join #test
[21:52] <histo> Does anyone have ideas for me to try?

[21:52] <Melik> hey guys is anyone good with wireless networking on ubuntu, cuz my laptop randomly disconnects every 15 minutes constantly
[21:52] <Din|BSD> edgimar: by setting /away
[21:52] <maxxist> histio so did nvidia-settings detect you monitor?
[21:53] <wos1> LjL how do i test the beep sound on my name?
[21:53] <erUSUL> Crewsr3: well with the info i have i can not know what the erros are about. Can be a dying disk or a kernel bug or a loose cable as i already said
[21:53] <LjL> wos1: sigh. you ask for someone in #test to highlight you, of course. but i think i *did* mention your name just above in any case.
[21:53] <erUSUL> Crewsr3: i only know that it comes from the libata subsystem
[21:54] <drewbert> how can I tell 8.04 to upgrade to 8.1
[21:54] <Crewsr3> erUSUL, He was able get the login promt and it said that the home drive is not here
[21:54] <LjL> !upgrade > drewbert    (drewbert, see the private message from ubottu)
[21:54] <Din|BSD> 8.10*
[21:54] <DasEi> James296: choose right device in gparted (upper right corner of gui)
[21:54] <wos1> wos_
[21:54] <keyhack> what is the name of p7zip-full in Ubuntu 7.10? I can't seem to install it with the Live CD
[21:54] <gusto5> drewbert, easy way is to update with update manger
[21:54] <maxxist> drewbert update-manager -d
[21:54] <wos1> wos1
[21:54] <edgimar> ok, not automatically.  seems like there's a plugin to do automatic away, but it's not directly a part of xchat-gnome.
[21:54] <histo> I figured it out the Depth setting was the issue
[21:54] <erUSUL> drewbert: System<Admin>software sources | updates tab
[21:54] <binarymutant> how do I get wireless link quality from the command line?
[21:54] <DasEi> James296: looks like a faulty drive for now
[21:54] <edgimar> Din|BSD: ^^
[21:54] <James296> I did, now what
[21:54] <erUSUL> binarymutant: iwconfig
[21:55] <Din|BSD> edgimar: most chan ops will have a cow if you do auto aways especially the ones that are verbose.
[21:55] <drewbert> thanks all, got it
[21:55] <joaopinto> after installing the latest updates and rebooting I Can only ear noise, any hints ?
[21:55] <binarymutant> erUSUL: ty
[21:55] <n8tuser> binarydigit -> see if iwlist would you give you that
[21:56] <edgimar> Din|BSD: ok, but I don't see an option to manually make oneself 'away' -- is it an irc command?
[21:56] <Din|BSD> edgimar: this is off topic so you wanna join me in #ubuntu-offtopic ?  I'm pretty good with xchat :)
[21:56] <James296> oh ok Im using gparted to check for and fix errors on the hdd

[21:57] <binarymutant> s/low/lo
[21:58] <LjL> keyhack: pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list

[22:00] <keyhack> iaindalton: I just checked it was not, just enabled it

[22:01] <iaindalton> stealthy45: How's it connected to the network?
[22:01] <binarymutant> LjL: is that the reason why when I do iwconfig > out  lo gets outputed to the screen?
[22:01] <stealthy45> DasEi: deskjet 895cse
[22:01] <LjL> JackEStorm: this happens when doing what, on what system?
[22:01] <stealthy45> iaindalton: printer -> ubuntu box -> wired network
[22:02] <LjL> binarymutant: yes
[22:02] <Dwade09> is there an application that lets me record phone calls?

[22:02] <binarymutant> LjL: ty for the info, do you know how I can get around this?
[22:02] <iaindalton> stealthy45: Is the ubuntu box set up to share printers?

[22:02] <stealthy45> I can see it on the windows box, just not use it
[22:02] <iaindalton> stealthy45: what happens when you go to http://hostname:631 ?
[22:03] <stealthy45> CUPS page comes up
[22:03] <LjL> !info mgetty-voice | Dwade09, this and related packages should allow that
[22:03] <Dwade09> ljl thanks
[22:03] <DasEi> ﻿stealthy45: printer is supported, go ahead with iani...
[22:03] <matreya6> I have 2 Network cards. One, a Realtek 8139 is connected to my ADSL router via a switch. the other Marvell 3Com 940C is connected to another switch. Network manager shows a cross as if I'm not connected. As soon as soon as I insert a cable into my Gbit Network card, my nameserver disappears from /etc/resolv.conf. On top of this file it says it's created by NetworkManager. How can I stop NetworkManager from deleting this line (shich it does, even if the
[22:03] <matreya6> file itself is readonly(!)
[22:04] <keyhack> I cannot for the life of me make a USB thumbstick that boots with UNetbootin or 7.10's create USB startup disk, I always get "Boot error" when trying to boot on the target PC
[22:04] <NDle55> hello just installed vmware, but something went wrong with the installation and i cant reinstall:You have a product that conflicts with VMware Server installed.  Continuing
[22:04] <LjL> matreya6, if you don't need the functionality that network manager provide, you can remove it without adverse effects
[22:04] <stealthy45> iaindalton: Cups page comes up
[22:04] <iaindalton> stealthy45: hmm; have you googled the error message?
[22:05] <NDle55> this install will first uninstall this product.Error: Unable to execute "/media/disk/Apps/VMware_Images/vmware-uninstall.pl.
[22:05] <stealthy45> iaindalton: for the last 5 hours, yes
[22:05] <Dwade09> LjL, how is it for recording phone call conversations?
[22:05] <Dwade09> it is for voicemail.
[22:05] <hotdog003> Hello! I seem to have lost my /etc/NetworkManager/nm-system-settings.conf file. How do I get it back? Reinstalling networkmanager and dpkg-reconfigure don't help.
[22:05] <matreya6> LjL, some of the features of network manager are nice, but how do I get this program to behave and detect my connections as it should?
[22:05] <deringer> backup?
[22:05] <georgeasott_1> ah, weird problem here.  hd just gotten my xorg.conf to work with my aiptek driver tablett when i realized my keyboard wasnt working right anymore.  i have to hold a key for a second and then i get two of whatever i was pressing. tried other keyboard same result.  tried switcing to backup xorg file and still same.  reconfigured xorg all over and still there. trid different usb still same. any ideas?
[22:05] <LjL> matreya6: i don't know.
[22:06] <hotdog003> deringer: You're right, but I only keep backups of my home folder.
[22:06] <deringer> ;)
[22:06] <hotdog003> Does anyone have a sample they can pastebin or something?
[22:06] <n8tuser> stealthy45 -> when you are on printer configurations, what is the Policies checked?
[22:06] <stealthy45> n8tuser: all three ofthem
[22:06] <binarymutant> how can I grep stdout ?
[22:06] <deringer> every system file will have backup
[22:06] <stealthy45> at this point I'd be wiling to re-start sharing the printer if i had a WELL KNOWN WORKING guide to follow
[22:06] <iaindalton> stealthy45: I'm no SMB expert; I just thought it might be something simple.  Sorry; I can't help.
[22:06] <stealthy45> iaindalton: no problem
[22:06] <n8tuser> stealthy45 -> access control ?
[22:06] <LjL> binarymutant: that's what you grep by default.
[22:07] <georgeasott_1> but.. keyboard works fine on login screen and ttys
[22:07] <hotdog003> binarymutant: You can't grep stdout, you can only grep stdin. Do "echo stuff | grep whattolookfor"
[22:07] <raymond> hi
[22:07] <Pirate_Hunter> did ubuntu have reminder system with the calendar function or do I need to add that separately?
[22:07] <matreya6> LjL, do you know if there is a builtin ncurses interface to set network settings? The one included in Slackware for instance was especially nice...
[22:07] <raymond> hi
[22:07] <gradin> so to explain it best /dev/sda1 is mounted on /; /dev/sdc is mounted on /storage/storage2 according to mtab and fstab
[22:07] <binarymutant> thanks hotdog003
[22:07] <gradin> yet in /storage/storage2 there is a directory that displays 4.4 GB free space, which is the amount of space free in /dev/sda1
[22:07] <gradin> but it isn't mounted anyway i can see, no symlink, no fstab, mtab... no anything i'm freaking confused anybody got any ideas?
[22:07] <stealthy45> n8tuser: Access control? Where?
[22:07] <n8tuser> stealthy45 -> access control ?   on another tab
[22:08] <LjL> matreya6: no i don't, i just configure stuff from /etc/network/interfaces
[22:08] <Snowyt> does anyone know how to use Wine
[22:08] <hotdog003> deringer: Ah. Eh. What if I did "rm -rf /etc/NetworkManager" (note to everyone else: Do NOT run that command!) in an effort to get it working again, and what if sudo aptitude reinstall network-manager didn't bring that file back?
[22:08] <stealthy45> n8tuser: it's set to allow everyone
[22:08] <KleRoi> hello, just installed ubuntu 8.10, can someone give me the commands to install the libraries to read files like .mp3, .wma, .avi? thanks :D
[22:08] <LjL> Dwade09: have you checked the "vm" manpage? that sounds to me like it would record phonecalls if used appropriately.
[22:08] <DasEi> ﻿Snowyt: basics, yes, further, see:
[22:08] <DasEi> !wine
[22:08] <LjL> !codecs > KleRoi    (KleRoi, see the private message from ubottu)
[22:08] <KleRoi> thanks LjL
[22:08] <jimmysparkle> Hi all, just upgraded desktop to ibex but for some reason my apache2 virtual hosts aren't being picked up? all my domains are just calling the default virtual host... any ideas? I've tried checking the virtual hosts are enabled and they are....
[22:09] <matreya6> LjL, well, in that case I'll remove network manger altogether
[22:09] <Dwade09> LjL no not yet as, i am at work. i will when i get home. thank you LjL
[22:09] <n8tuser> stealthy45 -> what protocol do you have set in your client to print?
[22:09] <LjL> matreya6: the fact that i don't know doesn't mean it's not there and it can't be done
[22:09] <matreya6> LjL, thanks for the help!
[22:09] <baegle> So, a while ago, I mucked with pulse and audio configurations and packages in order to get sound working. I have no idea what I did. No, I'm experiencing some issues with sound, and I'd like to go back to a clean slate. What is the proper way of going back to the original configuration and packages regarding sound?
[22:09] <keyhack> how can I re-format a USB thumbdrive? I think it has the wrong format and that is why I'm getting "Boot error"
[22:09] <Garnol9155> how can i add mouseklick combinations to the keyboard shortcuts manager?
[22:10] <AzizLight> how can I reset bash history and make the changes take effect on the current window/tab? I tried >~/.bash_history && reset but the history is reset only when I open a new tab/window ...
[22:10] <DasEi> KleRoi: did you get by with the ntfs ?
[22:10] <gradin> so anybody know any other tricks to trackign down wtf happened with my filesystem?
[22:10] <georgeasott_1> keyhack ~ gparted can do that for you
[22:10] <matreya6> LjL, I understand, but it is rather hard to get some decent docs on NetworkManager
[22:10] <hotdog003> beagle: Try sudo aptitude reinstall pulseaudio; sudo aptitude reinstall alsa-utils; sudo aptitude install ubuntu-desktop; dpkg-reconfigure pulseaudio; dpkg-reconfigure alsa-utils
[22:10] <DasEi> gradin: other then what ?
[22:10] <LjL> matreya6: i understand, as well.
[22:10] <hotdog003> er- a sudo comes before dpkg-reconfigure
[22:10] <keyhack> georgeasott_1: do you know what filesystem format the USB thumbdrive needs to be for a BIOS to boot it?
[22:10] <jimmysparkle> can anyone help me ^_^
[22:10] <hotdog003> Keyhack: It doesn't matter. Just make sure it has a partition table and make sure the partition is bootable.
[22:10] <n8tuser> keyhack -> fat32
[22:10] <CSWookie_> It appears that the current gcc for ubuntu is 4.3.4.  Is there a place where I can get a deb for 4.3.2?
[22:11] <blendroid> If I want to configure a static IP, can I use a GUI interface like the network manager or do I have to use the terminal?
[22:11] <keyhack> hotdog003: it does matter, I've tried 2 different applications to make a USB key to boot, and have had no luck so far
[22:11] <gradin> DasEi: mount -ls; cat /etc/fstab; cat/etc/mtab; ls -al
[22:11] <LjL> matreya6: some bits and pieces of information are at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NetworkManager
[22:11] <CSWookie_> Failing that, a source deb?
[22:11] <DasEi> gradin: the issue ?
[22:11] <stealthy45> n8tuser: I'm nto sure where to fin that
[22:11] <jimmysparkle> Hi all, just upgraded desktop to ibex but for some reason my apache2 virtual hosts aren't being picked up? all my domains are just calling the default virtual host... any ideas? I've tried checking the virtual hosts are enabled and they are....
[22:11] <keyhack> n8tuser: it current is fat16
[22:12] <baegle> hotdog003: how did you manage to get that to me so quickly?
[22:12] <hotdog003> keyhack: Try reformatting it with gparted and trying again. If in doubt, use fat16.
[22:12] <iaindalton> blendroid: there's an option to configure static IP in the network manager; couldn't you answer that by checking?
[22:12] <keyhack> yeah, it is already FAT16 right now, and I get "Boot error" when trying to boot it
[22:12] <hotdog003> beagle: Pure speculation. *grin*
[22:12] <CSWookie_> s/current/hardy/
[22:12] <MrProper_> is it just me or is ubuntus 8.10 sound setup a nightmare
[22:12] <n8tuser> keyhack -> use fat32
[22:12] <jimmysparkle> can anyone help with apache? :(
[22:12] <hotdog003> MrProper: Sure, it's a little flakey, but it's not very bad when you set it up correctly. I'm sure that beagle would agree with you.
[22:13] <gradin> DasEi: i've got a weird drive mounting thing, a subdir on /storage/storage2 is mounting a directory on /dev/sda1 and i can't figure out how
[22:13] <keyhack> n8tuser: yeah, trying that now
[22:13] <matreya6> LjL, thanks for the link!
[22:13] <Chaostos> guys I got ubuntu 8.10...installed different scripts\programs\settings ...if Ill need to reinstall Ubuntu ..How to Save all what I have scripted installed...??? is it possible to save some settings somewhere.. ?
[22:13] <hotdog003> keyhack: Just "boot error" ?
[22:13] <blendroid> iaindalton: I've been trying to use the network manager, but it seems to be read-only and I can't figure out how to go into admin mode with it, or even edit anything
[22:13] <stealthy45> n8tuser: where would I find the protocol set to be used?
[22:13] <DasEi> MrProper_: unless it a x-fi, patience is most you need
[22:14] <keyhack> hotdog003: yeah, just "Boot error"
[22:14] <DasEi> gradin: sudo apt-get install pastebinit
[22:14] <gradin> DasEi: (/dev/sdc is mounted on /storage/storage2
[22:14] <n8tuser> stealthy45 -> 1st maybe look into  /etc/cups/cuspd.conf  to see if anything glaring that is stopping your client from connecting
[22:14] <gradin> )
[22:14] <Garnol9155> how can i add mouseklick combinations to the keyboard shortcuts manager?
[22:14] <DasEi> gradin: pastebinit /etc/fstab
[22:14] <iaindalton> blendroid: Ah, that makes sense.  try 'man interfaces'
[22:14] <MrProper_> DasEi, the pulse audio system should be thrown in the bin until its workable
[22:14] <hotdog003> keyhack: If the partition is marked as bootable and the syslinux bootloader is installed, there's no reason for it to not work.
[22:14] <CSWookie_> Anyone?
[22:14] <blendroid> iaindalton: ok
[22:15] <DasEi> gradin: sudo fdisk -l | pastebinit
[22:15] <jimmysparkle> Hi all, just upgraded desktop to ibex but for some reason my apache2 virtual hosts aren't being picked up? all my domains are just calling the default virtual host... any ideas? I've tried checking the virtual hosts are enabled and they are....
[22:15] <hotdog003> MrProper: It's workable for lots of people. What's giving you trouble?

[22:15] <DasEi> gradin: 3 urls ?
[22:15] <keyhack> hotdog003: got it! thanks! fat32 did the trick
[22:15] <hotdog003> Yay!
[22:15] <DasEi> MrProper_: which card ? why no alsa ?
[22:16] <ironfoot_495> Can someone be so kind as to help me fix this
[22:16] <n8tuser> keyhack -> you forgot me? hehe
[22:16] <ironfoot_495> ]???

[22:16] <histo> Okay one more question I have an app that I need to run as sudo that I want to start on boot. How should I go about doing this?
[22:16] <Garnol9155> how can i add mouseklick combinations to the keyboard shortcuts manager?
[22:16] <jimmysparkle> holllllaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just upgraded desktop to ibex but for some reason my apache2 virtual hosts aren't being picked up? all my domains are just calling the default virtual host... any ideas? I've tried checking the virtual hosts are enabled and they are....
[22:16] <matreya6> LjL, theses pages don't tell me what I want to know. NM is a pain to me, so it will be removed, removing the buggy behaviour and allowing me to set my config and routes manually the way I want them to be. :-)
[22:16] <jimmysparkle> Please help!
[22:16] <MrProper_> DasEi, nvidia hdm, its the fact that something dies with pulse and also kills alsa, so the only way to fix sound without rebooting is: alsa force-reload
[22:16] <jimmysparkle> anyone?!
[22:16] <n8tuser> keyhack just curious did you have to fiddle with initrd  on it?
[22:17] <MrProper_> jimmysparkle, got a pastie of your sites enabled conf?
[22:17] <DasEi> MrProper_: hdm ??? hda ?!
[22:17] <keyhack> n8tuser: just gparted, fat32, re-ran unetbootin
[22:17] <l_r> Question for experts: are changes persistent on the diks when installing the ubuntu system from within a LiveUSB Ubuntu itself?
[22:17] <jimmysparkle> jimmy@sakura:/etc/apache2/sites-enabled$ ls
[22:17] <jimmysparkle> 000-default  bemischievous  dating  lookup  onescene  sparkleinteractive
[22:17] <n8tuser> keyhack -> oh okay, i thought you digged depper..thanks..
[22:17] <georgeasott_1> how bout this, anybody know how i can disable startup items from tty? its the only place my keyboard works.  well there and failsafe..
[22:17] <ironfoot_495> ﻿MrProper_ Thanks I'll try it
[22:17] <NH|Computer|Geek> 8.10 is a mess
[22:17] <gradin> DasEi: http://pastebin.com/f4c53aa1f http://pastebin.com/f4604ea7c
[22:17] <jimmysparkle> that what ya mean MrProper_?
[22:17] <hotdog003> l_r: Installing FROM a live system? Sure. It's just like a live CD, except on a USB drive.
[22:18] <Din|BSD> lol
[22:18] <gradin> DasEi: http://pastebin.com/f50cca0ef
[22:18] <MrProper_> jimmysparkle, go to http://pastie.org/ and put the contents of those files in there
[22:18] <NH|Computer|Geek> seriously it is a disaster, they released it too soon, just like vista
[22:19] <Din|BSD> i kinda have to agree
[22:19] <l_r> hotdog003, so..if i change the system settings  from the running liveusb ubuntu, they will be PERSISTEN after the installation?
[22:19] <stealthy45> n8tuser: I don't seeanything
[22:19] <hotdog003> Could anyone pastebin a copy of /etc/NetworkManager/nm-system-settings.conf ? I've lost mine and I can't get it back.
[22:19] <JackEStorm> LjL: apt-get dist-upgrade
[22:19] <MrProper_> l_r, from memory if you install pacakges in the live cd THEN install it will add those packages to your installed system
[22:19] <gradin> l_r: no
[22:19] <jimmysparkle> MrProper_: they were working 30 minutes ago before i updated to ibex!!! here is the one im trying to get working: http://pastie.org/320053
[22:20] <hotdog003> l_r: Oh, I get what you're saying. If you change some settings and install it to the hard disk, then they will not keep. But if you add packages, they will get copied over.
[22:20] <ironfoot_495> ﻿MrProper_ I get an error message saying that .gvf is lsof: WARNING: can't stat() fuse.gvfs-fuse-daemon file system /home/carter/.gvfs
[22:20] <ironfoot_495>       Output information may be incomplete.
[22:20] <georgeasott_1> i dont recall the update being manditory.
[22:20] <MrProper_> jimmysparkle: what about the rest of them thats only one
[22:20] <n8tuser> stealthy45 -> paste your  cupsd.conf  and lets see if anything i can spot
[22:20] <iaindalton> Does anyone understand the errors compiling the source? http://pastebin.ca/1263043
[22:20] <MrProper_> ironfoot_495, sorry i dont know what your referencing?
[22:21] <jimmysparkle> MrProper_:  thats the only one i want to get working - the others are exactly the same just different paths
[22:21] <jimmysparkle> bar the Default one of course
[22:21] <gradin> iaindalton: sudo
[22:22] <MrProper_> jimmacdonald, well if all domains are going to one default one then i need to see that one
[22:22] <DasEi> gradin: can't see sth wrong there, what subdir mounts were ?
[22:22] <iaindalton> gradin: why would make need sudo?
[22:22] <ironfoot_495> ﻿ MrProper_: I have a problem with audio on flash and no matter what I've tried I can't seem to get the sound to work??
[22:22] <l_r> i would like to install a custom  liveusb system while it's running from within it. that is, you customize the system while using it and then install the exact copy
[22:22] <hotdog003> iaindalton: You shouldn't need sudo for make.
[22:22] <bldninja> is there any command for getting MAC-address of an mobile bluetooth unit connected to my ubuntu PC?
[22:22] <hotdog003> Make install maybe, but not for make.
[22:22] <MrProper_> ironfoot_495, has rebooting fixed it?
[22:22] <sgraham> whats that mac like quicklaunch bar called?
[22:22] <hotdog003> Seems like an error in the source code itself.
[22:22] <NH|Computer|Geek> lol
[22:22] <keyhack> I've set RAID0 for two SATA drives in my BIOS, do I need to do anything special for Ubuntu to pick that up? Right now it seems that the net installer thinks they are two separate drives, it is not picking up the RAID0
[22:22] <georgeasott_1> dock
[22:22] <hotdog003> sgraham: It's called Gnome-Do
[22:22] <Pirate_Hunter> can someone suggest a good app that allows designing using flash?
[22:22] <alexei> hello, I get gnome network manager started on KDE login, how do I disable that? Any Idea?
[22:22] <MrProper_> keyhack, ewww fakeraid
[22:22] <mavsman4457> sgraham, avant-window-navigator
[22:23] <gradin> DasEi: what do you mean
[22:23] <keyhack> MrProper_: hah, I know, this is simply a media PC
[22:23] <hotdog003> OH, right, not grome-do. It's called avant-window-navigator
[22:23] <MrProper_> keyhack, if you want to use the bios fake raid, just install on the first disk and leave the 2nd one alone
[22:23] <ironfoot_495> MrProper_: no
[22:23] <DasEi> MrProper_: hdm ??? hda ?! (my nvidia onboard sound worked with alsa, firmware loaders, ibex
[22:23] <hotdog003> gnome-do is like quicksilver
[22:23] <jimmysparkle> MrProper_: this is the default one: http://pastie.org/320055
[22:23] <mavsman4457> Is there a way to make it so the backspace key makes firefox go to the previous page rather than just alt and left?
[22:23] <georgeasott_1> sgraham ~ i use avant-window-navigator. i like
[22:23] <bastid_raZor> ironfoot_495; i get that same error ever since i updated to 8.04.1 .. i've yet to see what it hinders when compiling things. i ignore it
[22:23] <DasEi> gradin: I don't get your prob, looks all normal
[22:24] <sgraham> is there a package for it or like a source entry for it?
[22:24] <l_r> how do the ubuntu team personalize the Ubuntu system on each new release if they cannot visually see the changes or test them while running? i know there are scripts to personalize ISOs , but it's a pain not to see the results
[22:24] <Try_Hard_Go_Pro> can anyone help me i turn the visual effects on and my close/minimize buttons disappeared
[22:24] <mobo> hi all, has anyone got ubuntu working with a dell studio 15 laptop? I'm having problems with the wireless?
[22:24] <ironfoot_495> ﻿bastid_raZor: but what about getting the audio back?
[22:24] <MrProper_> jimmysparkle, if you disable that site does all work as intended
[22:24] <keyhack> MrProper_: I just wanted one logical drive
[22:24] <panfist> i am having an issue with accented characters in filenames on a cifs mount. i have tried mounting them as UTF8, iso8859-1, codepage 437, and 850, and i still cant get them to display correctly in the terminal. any other charsets or codepages i can try?
[22:24] <gradin> DasEi: so in /storage/storage2 there is a directory called backup..
[22:24] <[TiZ]> I'm changing my panel layout from a single expanded panel on the bottom to a non-expanded panel on top + avant-window-navigator. I like it a lot, except for maximized windows. I'd like to do either of these two things: Make gnome-panel hide the same way that awn does, or change the size that windows maximize to. Can anyone help out?
[22:24] <MrProper_> keyhack, use softraid
[22:24] <gradin> in backup there are a bunch of files
[22:24] <bastid_raZor> ironfoot_495; that warning has nothing to do with audio.
[22:24] <keyhack> MrProper_: what is that?
[22:24] <MrProper_> ironfoot_495, what version of flash?
[22:24] <MrProper_> keyhack, linux software raid
[22:24] <gradin> oh wait..
[22:24] <ironfoot_495> MrProper_: 10
[22:25] <gradin> nvm i rember now
[22:25] <gradin> multiple backup diectories
[22:25] <keyhack> MrProper_: so I should go into the BIOS, turn off RAID, enable SATA, then just use the linux installer to make it?
[22:25] <jimmysparkle> ahhh MrProper_ I get forbidden if i disable the default site....
[22:25] <MrProper_> keyhack, if you havent installed yet the ibex installer should allow you to create software raid
[22:25] <teadict> who knows why Iceweasel (or Firefox) won't start on Fluxbox after setting up gtk and Tango icons?
[22:25] <sgraham> i found it thanks guys
[22:25] <ironfoot_495> MrProper_: even when I had 9 there was problems
[22:25] <jimmysparkle> what should i set the folder's permission to be to allow apache to access?
[22:25] <MrProper_> keyhack, yes you should disable the bios raid if your going to do software raid
[22:25] <georgeasott_1> try_hard_go_pro souns like you window decorations are gone. if you have emerald or are trying to use it.. alt ~f2 and type emrald --replace
[22:26] <DasEi> gradin: so they seem to be on sdc, too- subdirs of third hd
[22:26] <georgeasott_1> emerald*
[22:26] <MrProper_> ironfoot_495, not sure then, flash is a pile of dog crap for sound in linux (they still use the ESD daemon from memory)
[22:26] <n8tuser> jimmysparkle -> are you following any tutorials at all? please do if you are not doing it yet
[22:26] <edson> hello guys
[22:26] <MrProper_> jimmysparkle, silly question but have you enabled the other sites?
[22:26] <jimmysparkle> im not following any bloody tutorials....
[22:27] <l_r> Question: i absolutely need to custom a liveusb system in a "visual" way..so that i can see the changes in realtime, while preserving the possibility to install this customization from within the running system
[22:27] <MrProper_> jimmysparkle, and forbidden doesnt mean that the apache conf isnt working
[22:27] <DasEi> gradin: if you mount a hd to a directory, you'll find it's subfolders in the mount-dir
[22:27] <ironfoot_495> MrProper_: Yeah I seem to forming the same Idea but is there an alternative?
[22:27] <jimmysparkle> i've just updated to ibex and now my apache is getting forbidden when trying to access my workspace paths..
[22:27] <edson> somebody use  Conexant CX20549 (Venice) for ubuntu 8.10?
[22:27] <MrProper_> ironfoot_495, dont use flash =(
[22:27] <gradin> DasEi: naw i figured it out, i've got multiple dirs named backup and i thought it was mounting sda1's dir when i was looking at the samba shares but i was looking at a different backup from sda1 which is why the disk space was wrong
[22:27] <ironfoot_495> ok what then
[22:27] <jimmysparkle> i've just set my path /tink/dev/dating to a+rw but sitll getting forbidden
[22:27] <DasEi> gradin: so clear now ?
[22:28] <teadict> halp me! oh plz! I'm so n0oB!
[22:28] <MrProper_> ironfoot_495, i would completely remove flash then re add....OR the old trick in firefox was to make it use OSS for audio
[22:28] <teadict> who knows why Iceweasel (or Firefox) won't start on Fluxbox after setting up gtk and Tango icons?
[22:28] <gradin> DasEi: yeps
[22:28] <gradin> DasEi: tnx
[22:28] <jimmysparkle> i didn't see forbidden before MrProper_ it's only now i've disabled the default virtual host that i get this message

[22:28] <DasEi> gradin:nice, np
[22:28] <hotdog003> l_r: I don't know if that's possible. You might have to build your own Live USB drive.

[22:28] <Wrecker_> hello all
[22:29] <MrProper_> jimmysparkle, thats because your default one is grabbing all port 80 connections as you have no servername set
[22:29] <georgeasott_1> Try_Hard_Go_Pro what window decorator are you trying to use?
[22:29] <teadict> woo, pcmanfm rocks
[22:29] <DasEi> MrProper_: paste the out from : lspci

[22:32] <Dante123> hi all, I am running the linux client for a program called Firstclass.  Everything works fine, but when I go to print from the application....no printer shows up  here is a screen shot:  http://tinypic.com/usermedia.php?uo=8a0tzok%2B9l6yIyL%2F%2FuY9yA%3D%3D                                                                       Any ideas how to fix this?
[22:32] <jimmysparkle> still not getting antthing MrProper_
[22:33] <jimmysparkle> still forbidden
[22:33] <MrProper_> jimmysparkle, can you give me the link privately
[22:33] <jimmysparkle> I've updated my work desktop and didn't get this issue... have same setup at work
[22:33] <Dante123> I think it is supposed to use default printer....whihc is installed and working but doesn't show up here.  Could it be that this particular app wants info from KDE and is not as Gnome friendly?
[22:34] <afancy> Hi, now i am using Konsole terminal. How can I set the short-cut for right-click mouse to copy text,and click to paste text, which is like putty. ANYBODY KNOWS? Thanks
[22:35] <dr_willis> afancy,  there is putty for linux.. if you really want that format for cut/pasteing.. OR ya could do 'select' then 'middle click'
[22:35] <reconn> I use gPodder for catching my podcasts and playing them with Rhythmbox, which crashes very often (it just dissapears in between a podcast)
[22:35] <iaindalton> Dante123: does 'sudo less /etc/cups/printers.conf' mention your printer?
[22:35] <Omar87> DasEi: Can he use 8.04 drivers for 8.10?
[22:36] <Dante123> ﻿ iaindalton hang on I will check
[22:36] <afancy> dr_willis: is there a putty for Linux?
[22:36] <dr_willis> !info putty
[22:36] <dr_willis> afancy,  aparently so.. I dont really know why you would want to use it over a normal terminal
[22:37] <DasEi> Omar87: I'm not particulary sure for the 7300, but 8.10 /xorg 7.4 prop. drivers of nvidia are better supported, but support of old xorg was better
[22:37] <Dante123> ﻿iaindalton yes it does have my printer there
[22:37] <afancy> dr_willis: i get used to the putty format. it is very nice
[22:37] <afancy> i like right click to copy
[22:38] <iaindalton> Dante123: then it shouldn't matter whether the app is Gnome or KDE, but I'm not sure why it's not showing up
[22:38] <DasEi> Omar87: the ubuntu-ones work well with nvidia, not sure about the prop on xorg 7.4,  some do, others not
[22:38] <Dante123> I have searched website of company.....but lets just say all they really seem to support is Windows....although they do have this linux client.
[22:39] <iaindalton> Does anyone understand the errors compiling the source? http://pastebin.ca/1263043
[22:39] <carpii> is there a channel specifically for wine questions?
[22:39] <Dante123> ﻿iaindalton I was thinking maybe there is a configuration file?????
[22:39] <n8tuser> carpii -> #winehq
[22:39] <mavsman4457> Is there a  way to make it so pressing backspace while i'm in firefox will take me to the previous page?  Right now I have to hit alt+left to do that
[22:39] <Sagaci> hi, is this the place to get help on installing ubuntu
[22:39] <iaindalton> Dante123: I just pointed you to it.
[22:40] <keyhack> MrProper_: I must be an idiot because I cannot figure out how to combine the two drives into one in the installer
[22:40] <techqber1> NetworkManager on Ubuntu 8.10 doesn't support TKIP?  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=938469
[22:41] <Dante123> ﻿iaindalton what do you mean?
[22:41] <Dante123> ﻿iaindalton I mean maybe there is a configuration file for the firstclass client specifically?
[22:41] <MrProper_> keyhack, you have to do manual partitioning
[22:41] <pisecx> Joker_-_: hi, do you remember me? yesterday we talked a lot about my cpu & it's temperature
[22:41] <Dante123> ﻿iaindalton could it matter that it is a network printer...not directly connected to this pc
[22:42] <MrProper_> i heard the graphical installer now lets you do soft raid at install, but i've always used the alternative installer
[22:42] <ellipsis> I effing love Ubuntu now
[22:42] <keyhack> MrProper_: yeah I'm there, I'm trying to figure it out
[22:42] <ellipsis> since I finally quit gaming I could switch to Linux without consequence, and I feel LIBERATED
[22:42] <MrProper_> ellipsis, lol its a bit like that
[22:43] <ellipsis> something about Linux makes me more productive.
[22:43] <qopi> I've got a dell inspiron 6400 with Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS/GME, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03) but my highest screen resolution is 1024 * 768, anyhow here able to help me sort this out?
[22:43] <iaindalton> Dante123: /etc/cups/printers.conf is the configuration file
[22:43] <iaindalton> Dante123: I dunno, try adding a local printer and see if it works
[22:43] <ellipsis> like yesterday, the GUI utility for handling MySQL was throwing up weird errors and refusing to set user perms.
[22:43] <Dante123> ﻿iaindalton okay....I'll try
[22:43] <MrProper_> ellipsis, i like linux+gnu due to the fact i dont have a monkey on my shoulder telling me i cant do it that way because we dont want you to
[22:43] <ellipsis> on windows I would have googled for a while and then given up and tried another gui utility
[22:44] <ellipsis> on linux, I popped up a terminal, logged in via the console, and entered the stuff by hand
[22:44] <ellipsis> and in the process, I learned some new mysql commands
[22:44] <olistik> hello
[22:44] <keyhack> MrProper_: the USB stick shows up as sda, and sdb and sdc are the two SATA drives, I'm in the manual partitioner, but I see no way to configure a RAID for them
[22:44] <Omoikane__> I installed ibex and now my mute button doesn't work. I tried playing with the assignments to make sure the button itself works and it does but for some reason the mute function doesn't work anymore. any ideas?
[22:45] <Dante123> ﻿iaindalton No, it doesn't work. I changed a local printer to default...then started program again...and still no go.
[22:45] <Dante123> ﻿iaindalton thanks for help anyway.....is there a cups irc chatroom
[22:45] <MrProper_> keyhack, create new partitions on them then change the type to software raid
[22:46] <pisecx> Where can I submit a bug? Bug is really bad
[22:46] <olistik> Can I use an usb key for a /var partition? When I boot up do I encounter some problems? (maybe because the usb layer is loaded after fstab parsing?)
[22:46] <keyhack> MrProper_: ah, thanks
[22:46] <pisecx> I mean it's a high priority

[22:51] <Ice_Phantom> olistik:  to add them, what is the site?  or..do I have to do it manually?
[22:51] <faryshta> Ice_Phantom, go System->Hardware Drivers.
[22:51] <DasEi> Dante123: ibex or hardy ?
[22:51] <faryshta> on menu

[23:04] <jdbolt> hello
[23:04] <Dante123> ﻿DasEi Yes, it is an lcd.  But on some games under wine I get "out of range error" and I think I need the specific refresh rates for this monitor.  Same game works under ubuntu on another machine with a monitor that is setup with correct make and model.
[23:04]  * qopi wants to have a screen resolution higher than 1024 * 768
[23:04] <jdbolt> can someone please name a dog for us!
[23:04] <jdbolt> thanks
[23:04] <olistik> Ice_Phantom: try this one:  having a false sense of security is worse than having no security at all

[23:05] <jdbolt> we have two to name
[23:05] <olistik> Ice_Phantom: this one XD sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[23:05] <jdbolt> maybe name is apt?
[23:05] <jdbolt> lolz
[23:05] <efg-uk> this question is too small for a thread so I've been saving it but here we go; how do I get rid of a terminal window (that is running an app) without killing the app in the process?
[23:06] <Ice_Phantom> olistik: It's not connected.  But why can I access xserver? Using gnome.
[23:06] <DasEi> Dante123: I think of two possible ways then : choose generic 1024 lcd from dspl..gtk to get sections in xorg, edit xorg manually afterwards, or
[23:07] <Dante123> ﻿DasEi I cant seem to find anywhere on web where it gives the specs for refresh rates for this model
[23:07] <DasEi> Dante123: use /var/log/Xorg.0.log  for correct parameters
[23:07] <Dante123> ﻿DasEi how do I do the latter....just open editor and read ﻿/var/log/Xorg.0.log??
[23:07] <DasEi> Dante123: exact model / or paste above file
[23:07] <olistik> Ice_Phantom: maybe gnome can't get native resolution by the underlying xserver
[23:08] <Ice_Phantom> olistik: which program can?

[23:22] <CelticLord> nuit!!
[23:22] <Omoikane__> insaneinside the button itself works but the function seems to be broken.
[23:23] <StriderZ> My uvcvideo device doesn't work properly on some Flash websites. The video comes out garbled. Any ideas on how to fix this?

[23:23] <insaneinside> Omoikane__: actually, i was just planning to be an asshole and complain about how bad my current impression of Ubuntu's overall coordination is.. but being constructive sounds better. :)
[23:24] <Omoikane__> insaneinside I upgraded to intrepid and it stopped working.
[23:24] <insaneinside> Omoikane__: what do you mean by "the button works"?
[23:24] <jjproctor_> allso i have another problem when i restart my laptop dell inspron 1521 the sound gos all the way down why is that?

[23:25] <StriderZ> alrighty then
[23:25] <insaneinside> Omoikane__: does anything happen when you press the button?
[23:25] <DrX> anyone know how to fix "Insufficient privilege fo the file" "Unable to set the short 8.3 name" "The system call level is not correct" on some files and "Unable to write data" and "Access is denied" errors on about 200,000 of 300,000 files being restored from a Windows XP NTBackup to a Linux server?
[23:26] <extor> When I look into my kern.log then is there any way to tell which iptables policy rule a certain packet was matched against, and if the packet was accepted or dropped?
[23:26] <Omoikane__> insaneinside I can reassign the button to say 'volume up' or 'volume down' and it works but if I reassign 'volume down' to mute it doesn't mute. So I concluded that it wasn't a hardware issue but rather a software issue.
[23:26] <jjproctor_> HEY IVE BEEN ASKING THIS SAME FREAKING QUESTION FOR THE PAST 10 FUCKING MINS WHY THE FUCK DOSE MY SOUND GO ALL THE WAY DOWN WHEN EVER I RESTART MY GODDAM FUCK LAPTOP????!!!???

[23:26] <Omoikane__> insaneinside am I making sense?
[23:26] <insaneinside> Omoikane__: yes

[23:27] <Skky> What's a good CD burning program that will keep mp3 info intact?  I used Brasero to burn my last cd but when I put it in the CD player afterwards all the tracks came up as "unknown" even though I checked all the MP3s and they all have the appropriate tags
[23:27] <insaneinside> Omoikane__: if the button works at all, it's probably not hw

[23:28] <regeya> jjproctor: it's a pretty vague question.  and you're being annoying.  sounds like something's misconfigured to where your alsa settings are not being saved.
[23:28] <regeya> Skky:  are you burning a data DVD?
[23:28] <PassionFRUI7E> kitche: That made about no sense.
[23:28] <Skky> regeya: audio cd

[23:29] <ompaul> !offtopic | regeya

[23:45] <xeer> http://pastebin.com/d5436ecb2 -- ifconfig and iwconfig dumps. I'm trying to get my wifi card to broadcast my internet connection in ad-hoc mode. please take a look.
[23:45] <strN00B> how do i open up my repository again?
[23:45] <strN00B> with gedit
[23:45] <insaneinside> xeer: you need bridging?  probably bridgeutils, not ad-hoc
[23:45] <Ana> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Gigabyte_GA-P35-DS3L_1 https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Gigabyte_GA-P35-DS3L_1
[23:46] <Skky> DasEi: EasyTag is showing all my MP3 tags correctly, so i don't know why Brasero won't pick them up?
[23:46] <musikgoat|main> powertool08: if your having trouble, you can change your download mirror
[23:46] <ssalas92> does anyone know to uninstall something from wine???
[23:46] <musikgoat|main> powertool08: in the system -> admin -> software sources
[23:47] <Uplink> ssalas92: yes
[23:47] <Ana> DasEi I do not understand I have it
[23:47] <powertool08> musikgoat|main: thanks
[23:47] <Ana> DasEi here it says it works
[23:47] <Guest89921> help i my top toolbar has disappeared from every window
[23:48] <Guest89921> how can i bring it back?
[23:48] <xeer> insaneinside, ad-hoc would be for setting my card to broadcast, correct? I'm assuming the bridge-utils is for linking my connection to the wireless device
[23:48] <Skky> ssalas92: try reading http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=821059
[23:48] <insaneinside> xeer: you'd want your card to act as an access point.
[23:49] <xeer> insaneinside, yes. bridge-utils offers that?
[23:49] <insaneinside> Omoikane__: i recall that there was some way to change volume bindings --  i don't use the standard GNOME session, so i can't find it right now.  maybe try looking in the metacity prefs?
[23:49] <cheater_> Is there no place I can go for WUBI help!?
[23:49] <DasEi> Ana: so do I, try boot options of the installer, acpi=off  , maybe nolapic  as it seems to be an irq issue
[23:49] <PriceChild> jjproctor_: 6th result for "sound level on boot ubuntu" gives http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2007/03/20/saving-sound-volume-levels-across-reboots/
[23:50] <Omoikane__> insaneinside would that be in system-> prefs?
[23:50] <insaneinside> xeer: no, ap mode is dependant on your wireless drivers
[23:50] <insaneinside> Omoikane__: probably
[23:50] <DasEi> ﻿ Skky:tried k3b already ?
[23:50] <xeer> insaneinside, yes which it supports and is in that mode right now
[23:50] <Skky> DasEi: yeah, it won't accept MP3 files.  Says unsupported file type :\
[23:50] <Ana> DasEi I will, I have been linux (red hat) admin for 4 years now and I have never had such problems with any linux machine  meet so far
[23:51] <ubuntu> hello all, i just installed 8.10 on my dell studio and it is working great! - even the wireless! however I have to install the ATI/ADM propretary FGLRX when i go to activate it it just gives me a message box with a red cross no error message is there known errors with this?
[23:51] <PurityOfEssence> Ana how long until you get a red hat?
[23:51] <DasEi> ﻿ Skky:sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[23:51] <Omoikane__> insaneinside would it be called metacity prefs?
[23:51] <DasEi> Ana: strange fruit, err ?
[23:52] <ubuntu> can anyone help? or see me chatting?
[23:52] <hotmonkeyluv> nope, can't see you ubuntu
[23:52] <DasEi> ubuntu:can't see ya
[23:52] <musikgoat|main> heh
[23:52] <j3d1squ1rr3l> Nope me neither

[23:53] <DasEi> Ana: works ? or yeah, bad fruit ?
[23:54] <ubuntu> ok i have tried those links and there is nothing with the same error im recieving
[23:54] <cheater_> does anyone know where I can get some wubi help?
[23:54] <Ana> PurityOfEssence I am not cerfified on red hat, but it costs 5000eu with all education included and it took my friend several mounths (he failed and his boss is pissed)
[23:54] <niko__> hi chap.. i need your help..... any idea to disable change desktop with scroll mouse Ubuntu 8.10
[23:54] <Skky> cheater_: any linux/ubuntu tech support forum.  as far as I see there is no specific forum dedicated to wubi
[23:54] <PurityOfEssence> but they do give you a red hat if you pass
[23:54] <DasEi> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions, Ana
[23:54] <DasEi> oops, off
[23:55] <Skky> cheater_: actually, try http://wubi-installer.org/support.php
[23:55] <tzanger> good evening
[23:55] <Redbullie> Could someone please tell me where I can restore the settings so that I can see the graphical environment (Gnome). Running Ubuntu 7.10, everything was fine until now when the screen goes blank upon reaching the login screen
[23:55] <tzanger> got a small problem regarding the hp packages that recently want to be updated
[23:55] <tzanger> all the debs come up "size mismatch" -- is there an easy fix for this
[23:56] <Din|BSD> Redbullie: have you tried 8.04?
[23:56] <Din|BSD> i wont even recommend 8.10 yet
[23:56] <tzanger> I'm still running 7.10 I think
[23:56] <Ana_> PurityOfEssence if you need red hat download cent os, it's the same thing
[23:56] <binarymutant> whats the fork of pidgin that uses ncurses or the cli called?
[23:56] <hotmonkeyluv> Din|BSD, I like 8.10 acctually
[23:56] <Flannel> binarymutant: Its not a fork, but I believe its called finch
[23:56] <niko__>  any idea to disable change desktop with scroll mouse Ubuntu 8.10
[23:56] <niko__> ??
[23:56] <ConstantineXVI> binarymutant: finch, and it's not really a fork
[23:57] <ConstantineXVI> niko__: installed compizconfig?
[23:57] <binarymutant> ty Flannel  & ConstantineXVI
[23:57] <cheater_> Well, last time I did a system update with wubi it wouldn't log back on after a restart and im scared to try to update again. I want to know of there is a known bug with 8.10 and wubi
[23:57] <PurityOfEssence> i just want a hat.
[23:57] <niko__> ConstantineXVI, no yet
[23:57] <Redbullie> Din|BSD: So you suggest me to reinstall 8.04 over my existing installation? I just want to bring back the display that currently is blank...
[23:57] <Ana_> DasEi no acpi would kind of leave me with inferior system, wouldnt it :)
[23:57] <Haunt_House> bazhang:  Thanks for the help yesterday, the display driver problem is solved
[23:58] <DasEi> Ana: works ? or yeah, bad fruit ?
[23:58] <DasEi> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions, Ana
[23:58] <Din|BSD> i wasnt suggesting anything, i was just asking if you had tried 8.04 Redbullie  :)
[23:58] <tarelerulz> What is the best midi player out there.  gstream plays say they play it ,but no sound.
[23:58] <DasEi> Ana: my idea is to install once, then (as live works) reconfigure it
[23:59] <niko__> ConstantineXVI, is config-setting-manager??.. no?
[23:59] <Skky> DasEi: doesn't appear to make any difference...I didn't see any MP3 related installs happening, only Java stuff?
[23:59] <heret1c> hello .-)
[23:59] <Omoikane__> insaneinside yeah, I can't find anything.
[23:59] <tzanger> hmm
[23:59] <Redbullie> Din|BSD: Well everything was running fine on 7.10 but I seemed to have gotten some bad display settings now that leaves my screen blank
[23:59] <DasEi> Skky: no further ideas for now, then
[23:59] <[TiZ]> Is it possible to make gnome-panel hide the same way that avant-window-navigator does? e.g., it's covered by maximized windows, and appears when I mouse over it
